ROMEOVILLE

Amazon to open fulfillment center Company may have more than 4,000 workers in Will County by end of year

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Amazon announced Tuesday that it will open a third fulfillment center in Will County.

The company is expected to open its newest center in Romeoville this fall, hiring about 600 people.

The Seattle-based ecommerce company is growing rapidly in Will County, where it will employ more than 4,000 workers by the end of this year.

Amazon.com opened a Joliet fulfillment center in October 2015 and is adding a second facility next to that one, which should open this fall.

“They’ve already made a major impact in our region. We’re excited to have them in our community as well,” Romeoville Mayor John Noak said.

Amazon will use an existing 750,000-square-foot building that at one time was a Montgomery Ward distribution center, Noak said. The building is in the Windham Lakes Business Park near Interstate 55 and Weber Road.

things,” said John Greuling, president and CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development. “You can pretty much guarantee each one will have its own niche serving a different purpose in the Amazon supply chain.”

Amazon announced in early June that it was opening a second facility in Joliet where it will hire 2,000 workers.

The company in March announced that it was adding 500 employees to its first Joliet operation, which had opened five months earlier with 1,000 workers.

Both Joliet buildings are on Emerald Drive in the Laraway Crossings Business Park, which is located off Illinois 53 near Interstate 80. The Joliet facility was Amazon’s first operation in Illinois.

“They will be using a lot of technology as well as a lot of people,” Greuling said.

“This is pretty exciting for Will County.”

Noak said the big presence of Amazon in Will County may attract the attention of similar companies.

“As far as growth,” he said, “maybe this continues to attract ecommerce companies to our area.”

JJC trustees see new initiatives of strategic enrollment plan

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College officials showed board trustees at Tuesday’s meeting how they were trying to increase student enrollment and retention under a three-year strategic plan.

For the second year of the strategic enrollment plan – which was adopted by the board in 2014 – JJC officials have been focused on marketing, developmental education and course scheduling.

The SEM plan was created to improve student enrollment and retention, as well as degree and certificate earners.

Success in the marketing aspect of the plan is measured in “call-to-action engagement,” said Mike Hernandez, JJC marketing and creative services director.

“A prospective student very rarely will come to our site and just apply immediately. They request information, they kick

WHERE IT’S AT

• Relevant information • Marketing Solutions • Community Advocates

“The estimate they’ve given us is that they’ll maintain a regular employment level of 600,” he said.

Amazon did not include an employment count in a news release issued Tuesday but indicated it would be hundreds.

“Expanding our footprint in Illinois brings hundreds and hundreds of fulltime jobs with competitive pay and great benefits starting on day one to the state, Akash Chauhan, vice president of Amazon’s North American Operations, said in the news release.

Amazon said it is now hiring for the Romeoville fulfillment center. Information about jobs can be found at www.amazon.com/mdwjobs.

The company in the news release said the Romeoville facility will be used to “pick, pack and ship large items to customers such as big-screen televisions, sports equipment or kayaks, for example.”

The Joliet operations are used for smaller items, including books and small electronics.

“They’re all going to do different

tires. …They’re sniffing out us versus other options,” Hernandez said.

For marketing, the college has launched a “You can” campaign, a new kind of registration guide and new TV commercials in English and Spanish, Hernandez said.

“Parents are a big influence. Parents are very influential in a student going to college,” he said about the approach to the commercials.

In the future, JJC officials plan to produce more digital campaigns for programs and use social media more, he said.

Board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich said after the presentation on the SEM plan that he would like to see a commercial showing a “dollar value in savings.”

“I’d like to see a commercial where parents are denied a loan for a new house because they had signed on to their student loans for their children. I think we need to be a little more specific in all of our focus-

es,” he said.

Yolanda Isaacs, JJC vice president of student development, said moving forward the SEM plan will be focused on more enrollment-driven initiatives, including those linked with technology.

“We understand that a lot of students – especially our [traditional students] – would like to receive text messages, push notifications, etc. So that’s something that we are working on currently,” she said.

Isaacs said one major initiative she believed will increase engagement with students is a calling center.

As an example, she said it makes a difference when students – after completing an application – are contacted by the college by phone to answer additional questions or offer information.

“This calling center – I’m excited about it – will really provide an opportunity for us to continue to engage students,” Isaacs said.

COVER STORY

Agencies, volunteers, residents came together in recovery

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – On the night of June 22, 2015, the village of Coal City lost about 50,000 trees when an EF3 tornado ripped through town and tore trunks, limbs and branches apart.

Many of those trees, particularly near Broadway Street, were decades old. What’s left of one such tree sits at Campbell Memorial Park across from the Village Hall and police department.

The tree’s large stump was given new meaning this summer when village officials attached to it a plaque commemorating the resilience of the community and how it came together in trying times, Village Administrator Matt Fritz said in June. A ceremony was to be held on the one-year anniversary of the tornado, but, ironically, it was canceled because of severe weather.

Ken Miller, a resident of Coal City since 1972, chaired the Long-Term Recovery Committee that oversaw donation of funds and other efforts to assist residents in their recoveries. The committee has since disbanded, and while the plaque dedication was organized by the village and he had no involvement, Miller said Tuesday it’s a fitting way to honor a community that truly unified as one.

“There’s these situations happening in our country where a community gets torn apart,” Miller said. “It makes you wonder if the community spirit is still there. Our community’s response to the tornado reinforced that spirit is still there. My heart was so warmed by that.”

A total of 884 properties were damaged by the tornado, which left a 16.5-mile-long, 3/4-mile-wide path of destruction. Now, about 13 months later, Miller estimated 95 percent of affected people are back to normal.

For Coal City residents, there’s no secret as to why.

The plaque reads: “With our town in shambles, numerous agencies, volunteers and townspeople stepped up to help their neighbors and their town.”

Assistance came from the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, United Way of Grundy County, Community Foundation of Grundy County and more. Miller said people at his church asked him, “How could God let

“It renewed my faith in human nature,” Miller said. “People poured out their hearts and time to help us.”

Village officials recognized this as well, as the plaque continued to read: “From a grateful village, this plaque is dedicated to everyone who helped in bringing Coal City and its residents back to normal.”

Coal City resident and Community Foundation of Grundy County program director Devan Gagliardo said the plaque shows how much the village has progressed through such a tough time, noting that it signifies a fresh start while not forgetting what happened. It’s a reminder, also, that about 30 people still are displaced from the tornado, and they are not forgotten.

Jim Haller, the ‘city historian,’ retiring

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Jim Haller has fond memories of driving a 1970 Chevy Camaro Z/28 on what was back then a wide open Jefferson Street, so it should be no surprise that some of his proudest moments as a city planner involve the development of racetracks.

Haller, director of community and economic development for Joliet, retires Friday on his 65th birthday.

Asked to look back at his days since first hired as a Joliet city planner in 1980, Haller offered a story from the day that the Route 66 Raceway was opened by local developers in 1998.

More than 60,000 people showed up, and city officials realized they were onto something big, especially with NASCAR hunting for a spot to build a speedway in the Chicago area but running into resistance.

“The mayor and council told [then City Manager John] Mezera, go see if you can get the Chicagoland Speedway,” Haller said.

Haller made the first call, and everything moved fast. Construction of Chicagoland Speedway began the next year. Haller said he “still looks back with great pride” at how quickly the project was done.

“It was a whirlwind,” Haller said.

“Government doesn’t work like that.”

Noting that he is a car buff who still owns a “1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass that I bought at Jim Graham Olds,” Haller

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Jim Haller, director of community and economic development, retired Tuesday after working for the city of Joliet for more than 30 years. said the development of Joliet’s two speedways along with the Autobahn Country Club are among his favorite projects.

There have been many. Haller noted that Joliet has grown from 23 square miles to 65 in the time he has worked for the city. The population has nearly doubled from 75,000 to nearly 147,000.

He has been director of community and economic development since 1987.

Haller will take with him a lot of

history, which was recognized by City Manager Jim Hock when asked this week how the city came to own a section of the former Joliet Catholic High School.

“I don’t know, and you’ve got about two days to find out because city historian Jim Haller is leaving,” Hock said.

True enough, Haller had the answer.

The City Council last week presented a proclamation recognizing

Haller’s 36 years with the city, starting as an entry-level planner and moving up the ladder at City Hall.

“You are Joliet’s historian,” Councilwoman Bettye Gavin told Haller.

Joliet attorney Michael Hansen, a former classmate of Haller’s at Joliet Catholic High School, also spoke at the presentation.

“Not only is he a fair guy and an honest guy, he brought a business sense to the development world,” Hansen said of Haller.

Haller worked three part-time jobs while paying his way through Northern Illinois University. After graduation, he worked as a landscape foreman and drove a truck for the Salerno cookie company before getting hired by the city.

Besides being a car buff, his interests include trains and Great Lakes freighters. He was the project manager for the rehabilitation of Union Station in the late 1980s.

In his office is a large painting of the Joliet downtown skyline and near West Side that Haller rescued from a Dumpster during a City Hall remodeling. He notes that in the bottom corner of the painting is the rooftop of a house he lived in as a kid.

He told the council that after graduating with a master’s degree in planning from NIU he never wanted to leave his hometown.

“The real option for me,” he said, “was to stay right here in Joliet – the city I was raised in, the city I love.”

Unused city-owned gym needs a new roof

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet owns a gym – a little-known fact that came back to light when the city manager said it needs a new roof.

The city owns the cafeteria, too, in the old Joliet Catholic High School building.

Most of the old school has been converted into the Victory Centre of Joliet, an assisted-living complex for seniors. But the gym and cafeteria were donated to the city for potential community use in 1997 when Victory Centre was being developed.

The facilities have never been used and are blocked off from the rest of Victory Centre, City Manager Jim Hock said.

Hock said he has begun talking with social service agencies to see whether there is interest in operating a facility where homeless people can go during the daytime. He sees the available space as an opportunity to give homeless people somewhere to go besides downtown streets during the day when shelters are not open to them.

But the roof is going to need repairs, a job estimated at $67,000, Hock said.

“We have to do something with the roof at one point to preserve the building and make sure the floors don’t collapse,” he said.

Hock mentioned the city’s ownership at a City Council meeting last month during a discussion about future downtown development.

“I’m just a little perplexed that we

own the building,” Councilman Jim McFarland said at the time.

The city owns part of the building facing Jefferson Street.

The space was donated to the city when objections were raised to plans to demolish the gym and cafeteria, which were not going to be used for senior apartments, said James Haller, director of community and economic development.

At the time, he said, the gym was seen as an opportunity to provide more recreation in the community, and the cafeteria was seen as potential meeting space. But the facility was never used.

Now, Haller said, there is no plumbing going into the gym and cafeteria, which also would have to be updated for handicapped accessibility.

“The sewer lines and the water lines going into the space have been cut off,” he said.

The Victory Centre had approached the city a few years ago with interest in using the space for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, Haller said. But the plan never developed.

A Herald-News story in 1997 quoted then-City Manager John Mezera saying he hoped a civic or government group would use the space for neighborhood or senior programs.

Mezera said then that rehabilitation of the space would cost about $300,000, primarily for new paint and a heating system.

“Our goal is to make it available to a community organization,” Mezera told The Herald-News. “We want to turn the facility back over to a productive use.”

Board considers surveys for downtown parking, roadways

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Village Board on Monday evening discussed an ongoing issue for residents, business owners and visitors alike – parking.

The board’s Committee of the Whole meeting featured a presentation by engineering consultants from Baxter & Woodman regarding downtown parking, during which they suggested a survey.

Trustee Ed O’Rourke said most stakeholders acknowledge there’s a parking issue in downtown Plainfield, and wondered whether a survey would tell the village what it already knows.

Firm Vice President Derek Wold

said a survey can tell how many spots are needed, and determine where best to put them and how much it would cost to do so. He estimated the survey would cost about $50,000.

Trustee Margie Bonuchi said the village may have to work with private lot owners to see whether they would be willing to help create more parking spaces, but the village would also need to be cognizant of homeowners near downtown who don’t want designated parking areas in front of their homes.

“It will be a difficult balance,” she said.

Trustee Brian Wojowski asked that the firm take a look at area properties to determine whether a parking garage structure would fit and if so, present a “ballpark figure” on what it would cost.

Trustee Bill Lamb said a survey would gather real data on the parking issues, while Trustee Garrett Peck said he’d love to see public input involved.

The board is expected to discuss a formal consulting contract proposal from the firm at an upcoming board meeting.

The Committee of the Whole also heard a presentation by representatives from Infrastructure Management Services regarding the village’s roadway conditions. The firm conducted in 2011 a survey of 297 miles of village roadways that indicated an overall rating of 80 out of 100, senior project manager David Butler said to the committee.

Butler commended the village for the “excellent” rating, but acknowledged the rating is difficult to maintain

over time. IMS uses a van operated by a three-person crew to survey roadway conditions. The van is outfitted with 11 lasers on its front bumper and a minimum of three high definition cameras to scan for failing pavement.

Director of Public Works Allen Persons estimated when asked by O’Rourke that a roadway survey would cost between $70,000 and $120,000 depending on options selected. It cost the village about $100,000 in 2011, he said.

The village has budgeted about $2 million each of the next five years for roadwork, Persons said, noting that a survey could guide the budget if approved. Most of the committee spoke in favor of the survey. The board is expected to discuss a contract formally at an upcoming board meeting.

utility project, according to a news release from the village, which has an estimated $61 million price tag.

The completed project will consolidate the two closed West and North wastewater treatment plants into the Regional Plant that is designed to have enhanced efficien-

cy, lower operating costs and regulatory compliance, according to the news release.

The facility plan was adopted last fall.

“This major construction project will have a positive effect on our community as we plan for the next 20 years,” Mayor Jim Holland said in the news release. “Our

Village Board and Utility staff continue to work closely with everyone involved to ensure safety and efficiency throughout this long-term project.”

The second phase is set to start in the spring.

Investigation continues into crash that killed 2 bicyclists Will County seeking to vacate plea agreement in separate case involving teen driver

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The investigation into a vehicle-bicycle collision that left two Morris residents dead is ongoing, Grundy County officials said, but new developments are unfolding in a separate case involving the teen driver who struck the victims.

About 6:50 p.m. June 21, Mark and Janice Wendling of Morris were riding bicycles west in the 4500 block of Old Stage Road when they were hit from behind by a 16-year-old who was driving an SUV owned by District 54 Principal Chris Maier, according to crash reports. The Wendlings both died as a result of the collision.

The teenager was issued a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident; he is not being named because he is a minor and has not been charged as an adult.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said the case was in court Monday, where it was continued for another status hearing scheduled for

9:30 a.m. Sept. 26.

“The state’s attorney office is waiting for the sheriff to conclude the investigation to see if further charges are warranted,” Helland said.

“There is no toxicology results yet; we are still waiting,” Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said. “The reconstruction of the accident is complete, but we need the lab results to finish.”

However, other action is being sought in Will County against the same teenager in an unrelated case.

According to court documents, the minor was ticketed in Will County at 8:03 p.m. June 4 while driving east on Interstate 80 approaching Center Street in Joliet for driving 87 mph in a 55 mph zone.

The minor’s lawyer, who online court records list as Ryan Wharrie, negotiated a plea agreement with the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office where in exchange for his plea of guilty during a June 28 court appearance, the teenager would be sentenced to 12 months’ supervision, pay $450 in fines and costs,

and attend traffic safety school, according to a motion filed Tuesday that seeks to vacate that agreement.

Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the Will County State’s Attorney Office, said the office was not aware the teenager had other charges pending in other counties when the agreement was reached.

Beyond the Morris case, the minor also was ticketed June 21 – the day of the collision in Grundy County – in LaSalle County on a charge of speeding 26 to 34 mph over the limit.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office on June 23 obtained a driving abstract from the Illinois Secretary of State prior to the June 28 court date and there were no convictions or supervisions on the teenager’s record, according to court documents.

Pelkie said when the judge asked whether there was anything in aggravation – including issues such as additional charges or a criminal record – Wharrie was silent. When the judge then asked whether there was anything in mitigation – or anything good

about the defendant – the minor’s attorney waived comment.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office filed a motion Tuesday that asks a judge to vacate the plea based on the defense committing fraud against the court.

The motion notes that at the time supervision was requested, “Defendant had already been charged with two additional and entirely separate traffic offenses, one of which involved the death of two people who had been riding their bicycles on the side of the road.”

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office is now asking for the plea to be vacated and wants to seek a conviction for the Class B misdemeanor, which could bring up to six months in jail and a $1,500 fine.

“Our position is that they committed fraud and there is case law to back us up,” Pelkie said. “Had we known charges were pending in Grundy and LaSalle counties, we never would have accepted the plea agreement.”

A call to Wharrie was not immediately returned Tuesday.

10 NEW LENOX

Planned retail center with Fleckenstein’s, Durbin’s moves forward

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – New Lenox’s plans to revitalize the northeast corner of Route 30 and Cedar Road took several steps forward during a village board meeting Monday.

Trustees acted on several items related to the push to bring new retailers to the site.

“We’re excited to get the project finally going,” Mayor Tim Baldermann said Tuesday.

The effort has been underway since at least two years ago, when the village began the process of buying four lots at the corner and subdividing them into two lots for sale, Village Administrator Kurt Carroll said Tuesday. Three of the four lots were occupied by what Carroll referred to as “under-performing” tenants, and structures on the lots were demolished by the village.

“It got rid of a blighted area in the center of town,” Baldermann said.

The board on Monday approved the sale of the smaller of the village’s two lots – about 1 acre – to developer Heidner Properties Inc. for $450,000 with no incentives, Carroll said. The larger lot – about 2 acres – was purchased earlier in the year by CVS for $1.8 million.

Heidner plans to use the smaller lot for a retail center, Carroll said. The developer intends for occupants to include new Fleckenstein’s Bakery and Durbin’s locations, according to Carroll, who said Heidner is also in talks with Zembar Jewelers about the business relocating to the intersection.

Baldermann said the fourth business

may be a deli or diner.

Also Monday, the board approved an amendment to make village agreements with Heidner and CVS cohesive; $11,000 in engineering services for HR Green to replat the lots; and $19,000 for ECS Midwest LLC to do more environmental testing on a portion of the CVS site that once housed a gas station. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency requested the testing and must grant compliance before site work can move forward, which Baldermann expected would be in the fall.

The items related to the redevelopment project received all yes votes from the board. Trustee David Butterfield was absent.

Carroll said that although the purchase and sale of the property will initially be a loss for the village, which paid a total of $2.9 million for the four lots, he expects the investment will be returned in sales tax. The village plans to reinvest any yield from the project in a new Metra station, which Baldermann said would be built farther east of Cedar Road than the existing station.

Also Monday, the board voted to create a liquor license for the Portillo’s at 2306 E. Lincoln Highway, which can now serve beer.

By Diane Krieger Spivak When 281-pound Tina Siranossian’s doctor told her she had five years to live due to health complications from obesity, she knew she needed help so she could be around for her children.

“I lost my mother at 39 due to complications from diabetes and obesity. I didn’t start to take care of myself until I looked into the eyes of my children and realized that I didn’t want to put them through losing a parent at such a young age,” said Tina, who had weight loss surgery at age 32.

Since losing 134 pounds after lap band surgery six years ago with BMI Surgery at Silver Cross Hospital, Tina is grateful for every day she has beat the odds by exercising regularly and eating healthier.

Before surgery, Tina used an insulin pump.

Now she only takes oral medications for her diabetes. Other severe health issues adding to her poor health included Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD).

At 27, she had bypass heart surgery and 4 years later had a stent inserted into another blocked vessel.

“After weight loss surgery, my diabetes and

PVD are in control, and for the first time in my life, my doctors say that I’m actually healthy,” said the Joliet resident. “It literally saved my life. I can play soccer and basketball with my kids, walk with my husband without losing breath, and I even have the motivation to go back to school.”

Patients benefit from a multidisciplinary approach, with the help of many different departments at Silver Cross. “Patients see an exercise physiologist, dietitian, cardiologist, psychologist, pulmonologist, and a bariatric nurse to get them ready for surgery,” says Dr. Christopher Joyce. “We screen our patients very carefully to ensure their success and safety.”

WILMINGTON – A Wilmington woman was arrested by police on a charge of stealing more than $100,000 from a car dealership.

Misty L. Hook, 40, a former employee of D’Orazio Ford, was arrested Friday after two warrants were issued for her arrest on charges of felony theft over $100,000, according to a Wilmington police Misty L. news release.

Wilmington police Hook conducted a two-year investigation into Hook’s activities at D’Orazio Ford after she resigned in August 2014 and a new general manager for the dealership came on board.

Police stated the new manager no-

ticed several discrepancies in the dealership’s financial documents and reported them to the police. Wilmington Police Officer Matt Kiebles investigated.

“Officer Kiebles was able to determine that during her employment, Hook was responsible for the cash that was handled through the dealership and had been very careful not to let anyone else get involved in that process,” the news release stated.

Kiebles’ investigation was long, painstaking and relied on numerous interviews and forensic audits, police said. Outside of dealership records, discrepancies were also found in Hook’s personal bank accounts.

Hook is being held in the Will County Jail in Joliet on a $300,000 bond. Her arraignment and status hearing is set for Wednesday.

POLICE REPORTS

University of St. Francis offers a wealth of student resources for success in life, career SPONSORED BY

From the moment you set foot on campus, you are not alone at the University of St. Francis.

Joliet’s only four-year university has a wealth of programs, places and people ready to help you get acclimated… from finding your classes, to living with your new roommate, to discovering activities, meeting your professors or just identifying people you might want to hang out with.

It is important to come to USF ready to jump in and take part of all of the great opportunities on campus, said Mollie Rockafellow, USF Director of Residence Education.

“We want students to feel connected from the top down,” she said. “But students have to partake. It’s the student’s own initiative that creates these positive relationships.”

The semester for new students begins with a four-day orientation the week before classes start.

Students are guided by upper-class peer leaders in small groups to start building relationships. The orientation includes campus and classroom tours, seminars on everything from diversity to security, and a chance to meet faculty.

Throughout the year, students can tap into a

large number of programs and services: --- Live-in resident assistants in the residence halls help on-campus residents with living issues.

--- Commuter assistance is offered through the Student Life Office to support students who do not live on campus.

--- The Counseling and Wellness Center offers health services, educational programs and individual counseling on everything from roommate issues to homesickness.

--- The Career Success Center offers career counseling and assistance with job searches, resume building and cover letter writing.

--- The Academic Resource Center provides computers, study aids, study and reading areas, tutoring services and individualized help with coursework.

--- The Student Activities Board provides opportunities to get involved in entertainment programs including concerts, dances, movies, special events and more.

Rockafellow said USF also offers something many colleges do not: an intimate campus atmosphere where students “can pretty much find faculty members all day, every day.”

D-17 considers extending online reading program

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – The Channahon District 17 school board celebrated a reading victory Monday.

Students in the district’s four grade schools have long participated in summer reading programs designed to strengthen their reading skills and mitigate that “summer slide.”

This summer, in addition to handson, real-paper books, Channahon students also had access to a selection of thousands of online books to read through a new program the district contracted for the summer.

“We have seen such a great response,” Superintendent Nick Henkle said of his students’ participation.

School administrators can get reports on the number of books read, which books are being read and other statistics.

“We have seen such a great response.”

enough benefit to make the costs worthwhile.

The district offers the program to students free of charge, but for a one-year renewal of the myON Reader program, the district would pay $17,166. For two years, the cost would be $30,899.

The board Monday also hired Jeremy McBrayer for the new position of director of 21st-century learning at a salary of $83,000. McBrayer currently serves as instructional technology coach at Lombard School District 44 and will begin the Channahon position Aug. 1.

In the spring, the board approved a 21st-century learning plan that will begin with the upcoming school year.

At its core is a focus on the changing needs of education to better prepare students for the skills they need for college and careers. Technology as a core subject is one of the key compo-

Nick Henkle

Channahon District 17 superintendent As of mid-July, according to Henkle, N.B. Galloway students have read or are in the process of reading 2,785 books; Pioneer Path students are reading 919 books; Three Rivers students are reading 1,202 books; and students who attend Channahon Junior High School have read or are reading 442 books.

The program goes through mid-September.

The board is considering extending the online reading program for one year, but recommended Henkle go to the principals first to make sure they believe students are receiving

nents of the plan, and McBrayer will lead that.

“I’m really excited about the vision for the district and their plan for 21st-century learning,” he said after the meeting. “It’s right in line with what I believe and preach.”

The board also: • Heard a report from the district’s attorney, Ares Dalianis, of Franczek Radelet PC, on an intergovernmental agreement proposed by the village of Channahon. The agreement concerns the development of property northeast of the Interstate 55/Bluff Road interchange and a property tax abatement the developer is requesting. The board took no action on the item.

• Approved hiring Carrie DeCaprio as a second-grade teacher, accepted the resignation of second-grade teacher Nicole DeMaine and accepted the June 2020 retirement of Three Rivers Principal Susan Kavich.

Jerry was born Oct. 16, 1932, in Groom (Carson County), Texas, near Amarillo. His parents were Felix and Ethel (Palmer) Ledwig, a farmer and registered nurse/midwife, respectively. Jerry was the third of five children, including siblings Ralph Ledwig, Bernadine McNeil, Florence Ware and Elaine Chapman, who all shared the same bicycle and horse around the family farm. Like most farm kids, Jerry learned how to drive a tractor at an early age, as well as how to wake early and work hard each day.

When he was older, Jerry’s father sent him to Catholic boarding school in Amarillo so that his son might have a religious education at (all-male) Price Memorial College, a decision which altered the course of Jerry’s life in myriad, positive ways. Jerry would eventually pursue higher education at Texas A&M University, where he joined the Corps of Cadets and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in 1954. He left College Station as a proud, maroon-wearing Aggie and couldn’t wait to get back to Aggieland.

Following his time at TAMU, Jerry served three years in the U.S. Air Force as a navigator and ECM operator, achieving the rank of captain and receiving two air medals for meritorious achievement.

Near Jerry’s high school alma mater (Price College) was a companion female Catholic school, St. Mary’s Academy, and out of this institution came Joan Funk (Ledwig), whom Jerry met while they were both students. They would date for five years before finally marrying in Amarillo on June 9, 1955; their marriage would last 62 years. The Ledwig family expanded to include five children, David (and wife Jan) Ledwig, Paul Ledwig, Daniel (and wife Jean). Anna Marie Richards and Martha Elizabeth Ledwig (who died in infancy).

In professional terms, Jerry held a position as a chemical engineer with Exxon Mobil for 38 years, after which he worked for Amoco until his retirement. But his passion lay in pursuing causes closer to his heart and home – he reveled in his roles as both a husband to his beautiful Joan and a father of a fine young family. His children (then later, grandchildren and great-grandchildren) kept him young at heart as he continually skipped while holding hands with them on shopping trips, taking them out to McDonald’s and also to church (or even Disneyland), cracking jokes about himself while making beautiful wooden rocking horses and dollhouses for family members, enjoying reunions and even simple meals together.

Indeed, his woodworking skills led others in the community to seek Jerry’s good will and service in providing handmade auction items for charity. Some of Jerry’s favorite causes included hospice care, tutoring the illiterate and volunteering at the George Bush Library, which he did for the past 22 years.

A man of strong personal faith, Jerry was shy in discussing spiritual matters but was careful to raise his children with an abiding testimony of God as he prayed for them and ushered at church, actively participating in

Actress who played TV psychic Miss Cleo dies of cancer at 53

By TERRY SPENCER The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The actress who became famous playing the Jamaican psychic Miss Cleo, claiming to know callers’ futures in ubiquitous TV infomercials and commercials 15 years ago, has died of cancer.

Youree Dell Harris, 53, died Tuesday in Palm Beach, her lawyer, William J. Cone Jr. said.

The Los Angeles-born Harris was a struggling actress when the Psychic Readers Network hired her in the late

1990s to play Miss Cleo. She adopted her family’s Jamaican heritage for the role, persuading viewers to call for allegedly free psychic readings.

In one commercial, she is seen pouring over tarot cards before telling a caller that the father of her baby is the “one who is very unpleasant and had another girlfriend while he was sleeping with you ... but you knew that.” The commercials ended with the tagline, “Call me now!”

The federal government said those “free” calls cost consumers about $1 billion. The Federal Trade Commis-

sion said the psychic service promised a free reading, but consumers calling a toll-free number were directed to a 900 number charging $4.99 per minute.

The agency said nearly 6 million people made such calls and were charged an average of about $60 apiece.

The Psychic Readers Network’s parent company forgave $500 million in customer charges in a 2002 settlement.

After the settlement, Harris mostly faded from view for over a decade. She voiced a character in the “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” video game and was an advocate for gay rights after coming out

as a lesbian.

Harris returned to the public eye in 2014 when she appeared in the documentary “Hotline,” which looked at the world of telephone psychics, phone sex workers and suicide prevention specialists.

Tony Shaff, the film’s producer, said he found her to be “warm and welcoming and bigger than life.”

“She was smart as a whip and very intuitive,” Shaff said. “There was so much negativity surrounding psychic hotlines that she wanted to tell her personal story.”

Mary was born May 7, 1932, in Joliet, to John and Mary Ellen Campbell. Graduate of Joliet Township High School Class of 1952 and Graduate of Silver Cross Hospital School of Nursing Class of 1954. Mary was a nurse at Silver Cross Hospital from 1954-1961, she retired from Sunnyhill Nursing Home as Chief Supervising Nurse from 1976-1997. She was an active member of St. Ambrose Catholic Church and Choir, where she also taught CCD and involved with Catholic Women’s Association. Mary was active with her sons as a Cub Scout den mother and PTA at Chaney Monge Grade School.

Mary’s family would like to extend thanks to the staff at the Joliet Area Community Hospice Home for all their wonderful care.

Funeral services will be held at the Carlson-Holmquist-Sayles Funeral Home and Crematory, 2320 Black Road, Thursday, July 28, 2016, at 10 a.m. Interment Woodlawn Memorial Park.

Visitation will be held Wednesday from 3 until 7 p.m. For information, call 815-744-0022 or visit WWW.CHSFUNERAL.COM.

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Prosecutors and attorneys for Rod Blagojevich sharply disagree in new court filings about whether the imprisoned former Illinois governor has taken enough responsibility for his crimes to justify a reduced sentence when he’s resentenced next month.

Additional arguments filed around midnight Monday come two weeks after the defense asked U.S. District Judge James Zagel to slash the original 14-year sentence to five years, meaning the 59-year-old Blagojevich could theoretically go free in months with the four-plus years he’s already served.

Prosecutors, who want the same 14year term Zagel imposed in 2011, said in their new filing that Blagojevich has never accepted he broke the law, including by trying to trade an appointment to the U.S. Senate seat once occupied by President Barack Obama for campaign cash.

Resentencing on Aug. 9 was mandated after a 2015 appeals court decision tossed five of Blagojevich’s 18 corruption convictions on the grounds his attempts to trade an appointment to the Senate seat for an appointment in the Obama administration did not break the law.

Dozens of gang members indicted in Chicago area, Ind.

CHICAGO – Dozens of members of the Latin Kings street gang in the Chicago area and northern Indiana have been arrested on charges of a federal racketeering conspiracy that included arson, beatings, extortion, witness tampering and the attempted murder of a police officer, according to indictments unsealed Tuesday.

Those indicted included leaders, treasurers and enforcers of lucrative Latin Kings chapters. Law enforcement officials told reporters at a news conference in Chicago that the arrests are a blow to the “Almighty Latin King Nation,” whose membership extends nationwide.

Two indictments out of Chicago led to charges against 36 purported gang

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich speaks to the media outside his home in Chicago as his wife, Patti, wipes away tears a day before he was to report to a prison in 2012 after his conviction on corruption charges. A resentencing hearing is scheduled in August for Blagojevich, who hopes a federal judge will give him a five-year sentence instead of his original 14 years.

The government’s filing cites a statement Blagojevich issued from his prison last year in which he said “fundraising is a part of the job of every politician” and that standards used to convict him

meant “any politician can be jailed at the whim of an ambitious prosecutor.”

Blagojevich, prosecutors’ filing said, “suggested that the crimes of which he remained convicted involved nothing

members and associates, though two defendants didn’t face the conspiracy count.

A related indictment out of Hammond, Indiana, led to charges against an additional 26 people. Only a few of the named defendants eluded arrest, officials said.

Chicago-based U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon said the Latin Kings have helped fuel persistent violence in Chicago, noting how the crime syndicate’s top brass issued standing orders to kill rivals on sight. “(These) cases are about one thing: violence ... the type of violence that plagues our communities,” he said.

but common, everyday campaign fundraising – at once minimizing his conduct (and) mischaracterizing the evidence of his guilt.” It added Blagojevich isn’t “deserving of leniency.”

The new filing by the ex-governor’s legal team insists “Blagojevich openly admits that he made mistakes and used extremely poor judgment in the ways he carried out his fund-raising duties.”

It also argued that the five overturned counts call for a sentence reduction.

“The crimes he stands convicted of today are undeniably less severe than the crimes he stood convicted of back in 2011 at his original sentencing hearing,” the filing said. The appeals court, it contends, found Blagojevich never took a bribe and campaign cash on personal items While the appellate court erased five corruption counts, it went out of the way to say the original 14-year sentence could still be considered appropriate and fair for the remaining 13 counts.

The government’s Monday filing challenged the defense’s characterization of the appellate ruling and countered the claim Blagojevich never used campaign cash for personal expenses.

It noted he didn’t donate money left in his election coffers after being forced from office in early 2009, but instead spent much of that money to pay his legal bills.

6-year-old Chicago girl home after being shot in stomach

CHICAGO – A 6-year-old girl who was shot in the stomach while sitting on her front porch last week has been welcomed home from the hospital.

Tacarra Morgan received cake and a new bicycle Monday when she arrived in her West Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. There also were dozens of balloons and boxes of gifts.

Tacarra was with her mother and grandmother July 19 when someone stepped out of a car and fired about two dozen shots. A bullet struck the girl as she tried to get inside the house. She is one of several children struck by bullets in Chicago this year.

She was released from Comer Children’s Hospital on Monday. Chicago police officers and relatives decorated the front of her house with pink ribbons and a “Welcome Home Tacarra” sign.

Last charges dropped in case over Planned Parenthood videos

HOUSTON – Texas prosecutors on Tuesday dropped the last remaining charges against two California anti-abortion activists who made undercover videos of themselves trying to buy fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood, agreeing with the defense’s argument that the grand jury exceeded its authority by investigating the activists after clearing Planned Parenthood of wrongdoing.

District Judge Brock Thomas dismissed the tampering with government records charges against David Daleiden, 27, and Sandra Merritt, 63, at the request of the Harris County prosecutor’s office.

“The grand jury took the investigation where the facts led it; however, Texas law limits what can be investigated after a grand jury extension order is issued,” District Attorney Devon Anderson said in a statement. “In light of this and after careful research and review, this office dismissed the indictments.”

DES MOINES, Iowa – The Powerball jackpot has soared to $422 million, thanks to nearly three months without a winner of the big prize.

If anyone matches the five balls and red Powerball in Wednesday night’s drawing, it will be the game’s first jackpot winner since May 7.

A jackpot winner could opt for a $422 million annuity paid out over 29 years or a $291 million lump sum. The prize would rank as the nation’s 11th largest.

Two suicide car bombs near U.N. offices kill 13 in Somalia

MOGADISHU, Somalia – Two suicide bombers detonated explosives-laden cars Tuesday outside the office of the U.N.’s mine-clearing agency and a Somali army checkpoint in Mogadishu, killing 13 people, including seven guards, Somali police officials said.

The blasts occurred near the African Union base in the area of the Mogadishu airport, Somali police chief Gen. Mohamed Sheikh Hassan said.

Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility, according to the group’s Andalus radio station.

Unlike previous attacks by the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab, gunmen did not accompany the suicide bomber, police Capt.

Mohamed Hussein said. The first suicide bomber tried to speed through the barrier at the U.N. office, but guards shot at the car, he said.

Former President Bill Clinton speaks Tuesday during the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Clinton wins historic nomination, emotional boost from Bill

By JULIE PACE and CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – Taking on the role of devoted political spouse, former President Bill Clinton declared his wife, Hillary Clinton, an impassioned “change-maker,” serving as character witness for her on the night she triumphantly became the first woman nominated for president.

“She’s been worth every single year she’s put into making people’s lives better,” he said of his partner of more than 40 years and the Democratic Party’s new standard-bearer in the race for the White House.

For a man more accustomed to delivering policy-packed stem-winders, Clinton’s deeply personal address underscored the historic night for Democrats, and the nation. If she wins in November, the Clintons would also be the first married couple to each serve as president.

She will take on Donald Trump, who won the Republican nomination a week ago. Trump, who campaigned Tuesday in North Carolina, mocked the former president’s speech in advance, calling him “over-rated.”

Referring to Trump, though not by name, Clinton said there are real and affordable solutions to problems facing the nation, but “we won’t get to them if America makes the wrong choice.”

The former president traced his relationship with his wife back more than 40 years, recalling in great detail the first time he spotted her on campus and the impact she had on pushing him into politics.

“Hillary opened my eyes to a whole new

world of public service by private citizens,” he said, addressing a convention hall packed to the rafters with delegates listening raptly.

He closed the second night of the Democratic convention, a jubilant celebration of Hillary Clinton’s formal nomination for president. In an important move for party unity, her primary rival, Bernie Sanders, helped make it official when the roll call got to his home state of Vermont, prompting delegates to erupt in cheers.

It was a striking parallel to the role Clinton played eight years ago when she stepped to the microphone on the convention floor in Denver in support of her former rival, Barack Obama.

This time, Clinton shattered the glass ceiling she couldn’t crack in 2008.

She leads a party still grappling with divisions. Moments after Clinton claimed the nomination, a group of Sanders supporters left the convention and headed to a media tent to protest what they said was their being shut out of the party. At the same time, protesters who had spent the day marching in the hot sun began facing off with police.

Trump cheered the disruptions from the campaign trail. In North Carolina, he told a convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars that, “our politicians have totally failed you.”

Indeed, Clinton’s long political résumé – secretary of state, senator, first lady – has sometimes seemed an odd fit for an electorate deeply frustrated with Washington and eager to rally around unconventional candidates such as Trump and Sanders. Many voters have questions about her character and trustworthiness, suggesting her years in power give her the impression she can play by different rules.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Illinois House Republican Organization’s largest reported campaign expenditure was a $12,612 payment to the Internal Revenue Service. Indeed, six of HRO’s 10 largest expenditures that quarter were for IRS payments, most likely quarterly withholding.

But four years later, the HRO’s spending focus is solidly on the campaign. The House Republicans’ top reported expenditure this past quarter was $173,000 for polling. And five of its top 10 expenditures were listed as advertising buys.

All told, the House Republican Organization spent nearly $1.8 million during the second quarter of this year, which ended June 30, on a campaign that’s already in full swing – on one side at least.

Almost all of the money raised by HRO came from the Illinois Republican Party, and that money mostly came from Gov. Bruce Rauner.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Illinois Republican Party reported spending just $4,130.63 on all expenses. This past quarter, however, the state GOP spent well over $2.7 million, with the bulk of that ($2 million) going to the House Republican Organization. The state party received an unprecedented $5 million check from Rauner’s campaign earlier in the quarter.

By contrast, the Democratic

VIEWS Rich Miller Party of Illinois reported spending just 99 cents on state campaign activities during the recently concluded second quarter (the expenditure was not itemized). And while Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan reported spending $283,000 out of his personal campaign fund, his largest reported expenditure by far this past quarter was for IRS payments.

The tables have most definitely turned.

The House Republicans have flooded the airwaves of southern Illinois with massive advertising buys targeting three Democrats: Reps. John Bradley and Brandon Phelps and Sen. Gary Forby. It’s also running cable and network TV ads against several other Democrats. Only recently have some Democrats responded with their own ads.

A new TV ad against Forby, officially paid for by the House Republican Organization even though Forby is a senator, blasts the incumbent Democrat for being in Madigan’s pocket. It’s way over the top because Forby isn’t really a “Madigan Democrat,” but that’s beside the point.

Madigan is hugely unpopular so

that’s just the way it goes.

“For decades,” the ad begins, “Mike Madigan has had an iron grip on Springfield and our own state Senator Gary Forby. Forby has helped Madigan drive Illinois into the ditch, raising our taxes while shortchanging our schools. Fourteen times, Forby’s backed Madigan’s phony budgets. $13 billion in deficit spending, to double the income tax and expand the sales tax. Forby rubber-stamped Madigan’s bailout for Chicago Public Schools.

Gary Forby – Mike Madigan’s senator, not ours.”

Forby has withstood millions of dollars in attacks since he first ran for the Illinois House in 2000, defeating a Republican opponent at the time by less than 3 points. His victory margins have steadily grown over the years, but this is the first time that the 71-year-old Benton incumbent has faced this sort of massive paid opposition this early.

And it’s not just TV. A recent direct mailer sent by the Illinois Republican Party has a photoshopped image of Madigan sitting at a restaurant table while Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillside, stands behind him dressed as a bow-tied waiter in a fancy restaurant with a cloth napkin draped over one arm. “Doubletalking Mike Smiddy Serving Mike Madigan Since 2013,” the front page blares. Smiddy was first elected without Madigan’s

help and is not considered a “minion.” But, again, Madigan is intensely disliked. And you go with what works in campaigns.

“State Rep. Mike Smiddy Says He’s For Us ... But Goes To Springfield And Does Madigan’s Bidding,” is the headline on the flip side. “Mike Smiddy serving Mike Madigan is costing our families,” the mailer declares. “Watch what Smiddy does in Springfield, not what he says in the Quad Cities.”

Will this focus on Madigan and Madigan alone work? It hasn’t in the past, but the governor’s people obviously believe it will or they wouldn’t be putting so many resources into this theme. They’ve picked a message and they’re repeating it endlessly everywhere. In past years, the anti-Madigan messaging didn’t have nearly the money or the intensity behind it, and Madigan’s approval poll numbers have fallen from horrible to horrific in the meantime.

The Democrats will use a very unpopular Rauner against Republicans, and they are expecting to benefit from their usual turnout bump during a presidential year. They also have a very impressive organization.

We’ll all find out in November who’s right.

In the past, the policy was to overpromise with the pensions and greatly underfund in order to get union contributions and votes.

JOLIET JUNIOR AMATEUR GOLF TOURNAMENT

NOT OVER ’TIL IT’S OVER

Perez-Luna, Karner score dramatic wins in Joliet Junior Amateur boys divisions

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shasmedida.com JOLIET – Midway through the final round of the 36-hole Joliet Junior Amateur golf tournament at Woodruff, the eventual winner of each of the three divisions was evident.

But a funny thing happened on the way to finish line. Joliet Township freshman Maddy Palmer led the Girls Division by 40 strokes at the turn, so

that one was over. In the Boys A (ages 16-18) and Boys B (13-15) divisions, however, the apparently comfortable leader after 27 holes was about to attract some company.

In Boys A, recent Lincoln-Way East graduate Victor Perez-Luna trailed Plainfield South junior Parker Govern by five shots after Monday’s round. He still trailed by five at the turn Tuesday as he and Govern both posted 4-overpar 38s on the front.

But after bogeying the par-4 11th hole, Perez-Luna mounted a classic charge. He parred the next two holes, then birdied four of the last five, including a 35-foot putt on No. 17 to take the lead for the first time. He finished with a 3-under 31 on the tough back nine for a 1-over 69 and a 146 winning total. Govern shot 77 for 149 and second place.

Kalvin Fellows fired a 75 Tuesday for 162 and third place. Daniel Drag

shot 81 for 175 and fourth place. Tanner McClintock and Reilly McAdams both totaled 179.

“I’d like say I didn’t blow it,” Govern said. “There’s nothing I could have done about the strong finish that it was for him (Perez-Luna). I would have liked to play better, but four birdies on the last five holes, with that crazy putt on 17, that was too much.”

OTTERS VS. SLAMMERS

Continued from page 26 “Every once in a while I can get a good streak like that, but mostly I’ll get pars and maybe two birdies in a round if I’m playing well,” Perez-Luna said. “I’d be lucky if I get three.”

Perez-Luna, who will continue his golf career at Robert Morris, said he was “getting a little frustrated the first seven holes, and then I double-bogeyed No. 9. But after I bogeyed 11, I calmed down.”

Perez-Luna also has won a couple of other junior tournaments this summer. He said the decisive 35-foot birdie was relatively straight. “It went a little left to right,” he said.

He sewed things up when he dropped a five-footer for birdie on 18.

In Boys B, Joliet Catholic freshman Creighton Karner began the day in fourth place but only three shots behind leader Nick Blazen. At the turn, however, Karner had slipped eight strokes behind the leader as Brazen, who lives in Joliet and is home-schooled, posted a 1-over 35 on the front.

The back nine was a different story – a nightmare for Brazen, especially the 13th hole, where he hit two balls out of bounds and took a 9.

Blazen completed the back in 49 for an 84 and a 167 total. Karner, meanwhile, went 40-41 for an 81 and a matching 167, forcing a two-hole playoff. Both players parred the first

hole, but Karner parred the second while Blazen three-putted for bogey, and Karner had his first title of the summer.

Luke Petrovic, who is entering eighth grade, finished at 171 for third place after an 86 Tuesday. JCA sophomore Ryan Bell closed with a 90 and was fourth at 174, followed by Bradyn Collins at 194. Bell came into Tuesday one stroke out of the lead and Petrovic was two off the pace.

“When we started today, I just wanted to finish in the top three,” said Karner, who had third- and second-place finishes in earlier park district events. “I played a lot more consistently today. I started way better than yesterday. Nick (Blazen) is a great player. I got lucky to beat him.

“My goal was to tie him, and then he ran into trouble, and I started thinking, ‘It’s possible to win this thing.’ ” Indeed, it was possible.

In the Girls Division, Palmer was in a different world atop the leader board after shooting an 89 Monday.

Joliet Township sophomore Mia Erickson was second at 112.

Palmer put things away on the front nine Tuesday, shooting a 2-over 36. She jumped to a 50 on the back for an 86 and a 175 total, but the issue had long since been decided.

Mia Erickson claimed second place with a 105 for a 217 total. Joliet senior Holly Erickson shot 107 for 222 and third place. Fellow Joliet senior Kaitlyn Stevens had 111 for a 232 score.

JOLIET – Heading into a key ninegame home stand, the Joliet Slammers were hoping to get things started on the right foot on Tuesday.

But things didn’t look very encouraging when the Slammers fell behind 4-0 in the top of the sixth inning against the second-best team in the Frontier League, Evansville.

Joliet made things interesting by scoring three times in the bottom of that frame but it still trailed the Otters 5-3 in the eighth inning.

Evansville moved in front with a run in the first when Josh Allen homered against starter Chris Rice, who allowed four hits and one earned run while striking out six in four innings.

The Otters added another run in the third when Nik Balog singled to score Allen, who moved into scoring position on an errant pickoff try.

In the top of the sixth, Evansville

added two more runs with one coming in on a wild pitch and another on an RBI single by Christopher Riopedre.

But the Slammers finally came to life in the bottom of that frame against Evansville starter Preston Olson, who allowed eight hits and three runs in 52/3 innings.

With two outs in the sixth, Carter Bell hit a ground rule double to left and Marc Flores followed with a walk.

Joe Staley singled home one run and Melvin Rodriguez added an RBI single to make it a 4-2 game. Phil Bates also singled in a run to pull his team to within 4-3.

Evansville scored again in the eighth when Chris Breen was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The Slammers utilized five relievers in four innings through eight innings.

The Slammers entered the day with a 1.5 game lead over Washington for first place in the East Division. Joliet plays a 10:05 a.m. game against the Otters today in the middle game of the series.

Plainfield South completes area grand slam VIEWS Dick Goss About six weeks ago, we were marveling at the Joliet area’s success in the spring high school baseball season.

Providence won an unprecedented third straight Class 4A championship.

Lemont claimed its second 3A crown in three years. Reed-Custer gave longtime coach Jerry Cougill the ultimate goodbye present as the Comets won the 2A title in his final season before retiring.

Well, now we have completed a 2016 grand slam. That’s right, Plainfield South, under coach Phil Bodine, finished its march to the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association Phil Lawler Summer State Tournament championship with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Brother Rice at Boomers Stadium in Schaumburg.

The title game was unique. It was completed in a shade over 95 hours.

That’s because the game was suspended in the bottom of the third inning last Thursday night because of a nasty storm that rolled through. It was picked up Monday evening.

Bodine pointed out on Thursday that having to suspend the game changed the momentum and complexion. He wasn’t complaining, just stating what the effect could be.

On the other hand, both schools regained the services of front-line players who had been out of state with their travel teams. After the Cougars wrapped up the title, Bodine noted, “Their coach (John McCarthy) and I talked before the game that this worked out kind of neat, with both of us getting guys back who were away with travel teams.”

For South, that meant inserting center fielder Marco Escobar and shortstop Nick Mayerhofer into the lineup.

Escobar made the 24-hour drive back from Fort Myers, Florida. Mayerhofer caught the red-eye plane from Arizona on Monday so he could get to Boomers Stadium in time for the resumption of the title game.

“God bless Nick Mayerhofer for getting back early from Arizona,” Bodine said. “And Marco told me he would run here if he had to.”

Both made contributions that figured in the outcome. Escobar delivered a game-tying single after Antonio Gutierrez launched a long two-out double in the fifth inning. Mayerhofer was a vacuum at shortstop, making multiple good plays, especially charging slowly hit ground balls.

His efforts helped make a winner of right-hander Austin Marozas, who pitched a complete game, albeit over

“No chance I was going to miss this game,” Mayerhofer said. “I play with Elite. Our team actually had been eliminated in Arizona, but I was getting back here no matter what.

“We now have confidence heading into next season. Last year, when we made the supersectional (the Cougars lost, 4-3, to Providence at the University of Illinois) we were a little inexperienced.”

“This really sets the tone for next season,” Escobar agreed.

Right fielder Nick Enloe said that regardless of what happens from here on, the euphoria of Monday night is a permanent memory.

“We’ll have all the confidence in the world next year,” he said. “But regardless of what happens next spring, we will remember this moment for the rest of our lives.”

Among the fans on hand Monday were some of Bodine’s ex-players at South. Former ace pitcher Shane Ritter, who is entering his sophomore season at Iowa, was among those sup-

porting the Cougars.

“I’m jealous that I’m not out there with those guys,” said a smiling Ritter, who went 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 27 innings for the Hawkeyes this spring.

“We’re still a young school,” Bodine said. “We are finally getting kids back to support us who played for us previously. That’s what happens when you get the program going to where you want it.”

Winning the summer is a wonderful experience.

In addition to South holding off Plainfield Central’s late rally in the Lockport Regional final, Bodine pointed out, “We beat Joliet Catholic, Providence, Brother Rice, Naperville Central, St . Charles North and Lyons in the tournament. Those are great programs.

“This means a lot to me personally because Phil Lawler gave me lessons in college when I was pitching at UIC, and coach (Bill) Seiple taught me a lot.” Lawler and Seiple, of course, are responsible for making the summer tournament the success that it is.

It’s a long way off, but imagine what winning next spring would mean to South. You look at what the Cougars will have back, keyed by two ace pitchers in Marozas and Konnor Ash and a solid defense led by Mayerhofer, and you have to believe they can be a factor in 4A. Meanwhile, congratulations one more time to Bodine and his team for completing our 2016 grand slam.

“That was a great game,’’ he said.

“I would say that’s the first game we played as a team. It felt great to beat them, especially to continue into the playoffs.’’

Kendall Smith described what the 2015 season did for the Raiders as they

prepare for their Aug. 26 season opener against Glenbard West, the defending 7A state champ.

“More experience, just knowing what to expect, knowing how to prepare yourself,’’ Smith said. “Definitely, we have a chip on our shoulders.’’

BOLINGBROOK – This football season could be a busy one for Bolingbrook wide receivers Kendall Smith and I’Shawn Stewart.

Although the Raiders have been successful as a run-oriented team in the past, new offensive coordinator Doug DiFusco expects to use a more balanced attack. Translation: more passing.

“It’s fun, not necessarily easy, but it’s fun to be learning something new,’’ Smith said during a break at last Saturday’s Bolingbrook 7 on 7 Passing Jamboree.

“They’re used to having a power, running offense,’’ Stewart said. “But now we have the athletes at receiver and running back.’’

The Bolingbrook 7 on 7 had 26 teams, including local schools Joliet Central, Morris and Romeoville. Whether it’s summer workouts or games in the fall, Smith takes the same serious approach to competition.

“Anytime you go, you should play like it’s game time,’’ Smith said. “Don’t say ‘Oh, it’s practice. I’m going to play like it’s practice.’ Play like it’s a game all the time.’’

Bolingbrook had single 7-on-7 scrimmages every Tuesday against teams that included Joliet Catholic, Plainfield North, Oswego and Glenbard South.

To Smith, an Illinois recruit who is looking forward to playing for former Bears coach Lovie Smith, the summer 7 on 7s are vital to the upcoming season.

“Throwing the ball, catching the ball, just getting better all the time,’’ Kendall Smith said. “Day by day, trying to get better and better every day.’’

DiFusco detailed what he expected the players to learn and absorb from the summer competition.

“It’s the expectation through the practice period and study periods that they need to understand what they’re looking at,’’ DiFusco said. “Understand the philosophy of what we’re trying to get accomplished and where the windows are going to be based on route combinations and things we’re doing.

“They’ve made tremendous progress. Remember, we started at scratch.

They knew nothing about what I was going to do. Traditionally, this has been a very run-heavy school. We’ll be more of a balanced program. I think that would be a fair statement. A little bit of everything.’’

DiFusco had been an assistant coach the past three seasons at Nazareth Academy. The Roadrunners are the defending Class 5A state champs and they won the 6A title in 2014 and

2015.

“Tim Racki runs a great program,’’ DiFusco said of the Nazareth head coach. “Outstanding coach, outstanding staff. Great kids, great coaches.

When they say it’s family, they don’t kid around about that.’’

DiFusco is finding a similar situation at Bolingbrook.

“I’m very lucky, blessed to have the opportunity,’’ he said. “Bolingbrook has a great tradition of football. To have the opportunity to work with the kids, I look forward to it every day.’’

Stewart, for one, is glad to see DiFusco calling plays for the Raiders. It’s a familiar face to Stewart, who missed most of last season with a broken ankle.

“I think it’s great,’’ he said. “He used to be my coach for the Naperville Patriots. I played with the Patriots since I was 6.’’

Smith, Stewart and Ebube Edeh give Bolingbrook experience at wide receiver. Running backs Jarvis and Javien Crutcher, Jeremiah Lebron and Jazontae Howard return in the backfield.

Junior Anthony Vespo and senior Joe Coates are the leading candidates at quarterback. They will be protected by an experienced offensive line that includes Mike Ivlow, Collin Wilson and Jack Eken.

The Raiders made the playoffs last year on a field goal in the final seconds of their regular-season finale against Homewood-Flossmoor, a memory still fresh to Stewart.

Danta wins Late Model feature at Grundy STAFF REPORT

MORRIS – It doesn’t seem to matter where Anthony Danta starts a Late Model race at Grundy County Speedway. He always seems to be near the front when he finishes.

Danta, the current points leader, picked up another win Friday night at Grundy, working his way through the field after starting in the sixth spot. He moved up to fourth on Lap 4, took over third place on Lap 16 and was second on Lap 17 before taking the lead for good in the 30-lap feature on Lap 18.

Larry Schuler, who started behind Danta in seventh place, finished second. Pole sitter James Gregait finished third, followed by Tony Scalpelli Jr. and Billy Knippenberg Jr. Brian Tedeschi, John Nutley, Jim Weber, Joe Vinachi and Nathan Bertino rounded out the top 10.

In the Mid-American 25-lap feature, Ron Vandermeier Jr. recorded the victory, with Kevin Murphy edging out Kevin Gentile for second. Cody Clubb finished fourth, while Jim Kachel, Kenny Benson, Marty McKinney, Jeremy Clubb, John Ventrello and Jake Bradley completed the top 10.

In the Street Stock 25-lap feature, it was John Senerchia taking control from the start and leading for the final 20 laps. He edged Randy Weese for the victory by 0.287 seconds. Christy Penrod took third.

Those three were followed by Rick Dawson, Alex Clubb, Craig Matteson, Mike Wienc, B.J. Grabow, Chris Mihalik and Tim Stewart.

In the 15-lap 4-Cylinder feature race, Dan Schmeissing took the checkered flag ahead of Michael Tobuch, with Dylan Marshall third, Scott Gagen fourth and Matt Chester fifth. Spencer Leake, Zach Latimer, Scott Ingram, Trevor Starek and Andy Bjornson rounded out the top 10.

WHAT TO WATCH

FRONTIER LEAGUE

RIO DE JANEIRO – Two days after describing the housing at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics as “dangerous,” Australian athletes and staff started moving into the massive athletes’ village compound on Tuesday.

Australia team spokesman Mike Tancred said up to 60 delegation members – evenly split between athletes and staff – were checking in.

“All we need now is just a bit of plumbing done in three rooms, and some cleaning and our athletes will be moving in tonight,” Tancred said, standing outside the village’s arrival gate.

Australians declined to enter their rooms on Sunday after flushed toilets and open taps caused water to gush down walls and ceilings in the building. They also complained of electrical shorts and gas leaks.

Rio organizers said Tuesday that 21 of 31 buildings were ready, occupied by 600 athletes and 1,800 staff from 120 countries. Organizers said all the buildings would be ready Thursday, barely a week before the games open. The village will accommodate about 18,000 athletes and staff with a dining room serving 60,000 meals daily.

After criticizing the conditions, Australia has spent two days trying to befriend Brazilians.

“It was nothing ever against the Brazilian people,” Tancred said. “It was just a matter that we had to make sure it was all safe for our athletes. But it’s a fantastic village, and we’ve always said that.”

The head of Australia’s delegation Killy Chiller said the team complained publicly after working behind the scenes with teams that also had problems.

She listed seven other delegations: Britain, New Zealand, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Japan and the Netherlands.

Australians move into Olympic village a few days late

The main dinning room at the Olympic Village in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The brand-new complex of residential towers are where nearly 11,000 athletes and some 6,000 coaches and other handlers will sleep, eat and train during the upcoming games, that will kick off on Aug. 5.

Argentina and Belarus have also complained openly about the conditions.

Gerardo Werthein, the president of the Argentina Olympic committee, said on Monday that two of five floors in his building were uninhabitable.

“Ours is one of the most affected buildings, as is the Australia one,” Werthein said.

Tancred said Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes would hand the team an official key on Wednesday. Paes harshly criticized Australia, then backed down and said their building was one of the worst prepared in the village.

He sarcastically said he was tempted to put “a kangaroo jumping outside” the Australians’ building to make them happy.

As it turns out, the mayor will be getting his own gift.

“We’re going to give him the boxing kangaroo as a gift,” Tancred said.

WHITE SOX 3, CUBS 0

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

• Wednesday, July 27, 2016

CHICAGO – James Shields allowed four singles in 72/3 innings, Adam Eaton homered and the White Sox stayed unbeaten since Chris Sale’s suspension by beating the Cubs, 3-0, Tuesday night in Chicago’s crosstown rivalry.

The Cubs lost their second straight and never got to use new closer Aroldis Chapman hours after he joined the team and struggled answering questions related to an altercation last year with his girlfriend.

Shields (5-12) struck out five and continued an impressive turnaround from a terrible first three starts after being acquired from San Diego last month.

Nate Jones finished the eighth and David Robertson worked the ninth for his 24th save in the Sox’s fourth straight win since their ace was sent home for destroying throwback jerseys.

Jose Abreu had two hits, including an RBI single in the first off Kyle Hendricks (9-7) that ended his streak of 222/3 innings without allowing an earned run.

Eaton added a solo homer in the fifth on a day where both teams faced off-field issues.

Chapman arrived after being acquired from the New York Yankees and immediately faced scrutiny from reporters over his offseason domestic violence incident and ensuing 29-game suspension. Chapman said he couldn’t recall a conversation with Cubs personnel about off-field conduct that the Cubs described in a team release when it announced the trade.

President of baseball operations Theo Epstein said the Spanish-speaking Chapman did not understand the reporters’ questions, adding that Chapman was “pretty nervous” and insisting the closer understands what the Cubs expect.

Minutes later, Sox manager Robin Ventura asserted that he can work with Sale despite the ace’s critical comments of the manager for not sticking up for him when he was suspended five days for destroying jerseys he didn’t want to wear Saturday.

Shields, who allowed 22 runs in his first three starts with the Sox, walked four. He got Dexter Fowler to pop out with the bases loaded to end the second and worked out of another jam in the sixth.

Hendricks, who struck out seven, exited after Todd Frazier’s two-out bloop single in the sixth. Travis Wood entered and walked three straight batters to force in a run.

White Sox starting pitcher James Shields is greeted in the dugout after pitching out of a bases-loaded jam during the second inning Tuesday against the Cubs in Chicago.

Triple-A Iowa before he’ll return. ... Kris Bryant was the DH, but not because of any injuries during a head-first slide into second base a night earlier. “It’ll be nice to get off my feet a little bit,” he said.

“After (the slide), I felt fine.”

White Sox: 2B Brett Lawrie (left hamstring) missed his fifth straight game. ...

LHP Carlos Rodon (left wrist) expects to start Aug. 3 at Detroit after throwing 58 pitches in a rehab start Monday for Triple-A Charlotte. “Everything felt good,” he said.

Cutting up: The Sox wore their 1983 throwback jerseys for the fourth straight game. Those were the uniforms the Sox switched to Saturday after Sale ripped up the 1976 set.

“We had to wear them on Saturday and we always wear them on Sundays,” Frazier said. “So we said ‘Let’s go, wear them again.’”

Hotticket: There was a second straight sellout crowd of just under 40,000. The only other full house for the Sox was the home opener.

Up next: The Cubs host the final two games of the series, with RHP Jason Hammel (9-5, 3.35 ERA) to start Wednesday night. RHP Anthony Ranaudo (1-0, 17.18), acquired from Texas in a May trade, will make his Sox debut.

Chicken sandwich packs perfectly for a picnic

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A famously claims they didn’t invent the chicken, just the fried chicken sandwich.

There is no denying the fried chicken sandwich is a classic and crave-able combination. Before I started making my own version of the sandwich, it always was the first thing I would eat when I visited my hometown.

Six years ago, I created my version for one of my restaurants and called it the “chickwich.” It was my public homage to the sandwiches I knew and loved from growing up eating Chickfil-A. For my version, I use aromatic buttermilk brine for the boneless skinless chicken breasts to keep them juicy and then dip them three times: First in seasoned flour, then an egg wash and finally crushed saltines to make the crust extra crispy.

If you have a large sauté pan or a griddle, a buttered and griddled bun is nice, but the bun is just fine without any prep. The sliced pickles – the only condiment in this sandwich – are key, and if you are like me and want them in every bite, make sure to layer the

entire top bun with pickles. I like tangy and sour dill pickle slices, but if you prefer bread-and-butter or sweet pickles, they’ll work equally well.

The sandwich can be served hot or cold. If you are packing this for an al fresco dining experience, bring the three components in separate containers and assemble the sandwiches just before eating. Otherwise, you run the risk of a soggy sandwich.

Elizabeth’s Chickwich

Start to finish: One hour and 20 minutes Servings: 4 For the buttermilk brine: 3 cups hot water 1 cup kosher salt 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 generous sprigs of fresh rosemary or 2 tablespoons dried rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 4 cups cold buttermilk 1 teaspoon hot sauce or cayenne pepper 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breastsy For the chicken rub: 2½ teaspoons granulated garlic

2 teaspoons onion powder 2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 cups self-rising flour For frying: 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons milk 1 sleeve of saltines, pounded fine by hand to make uneven crumbs Peanut or cottonseed oil, for frying To serve: 1/2 to 1 cup pickles 4 potato buns In a large saucepan over high heat, bring the water, salt, sugar, rosemary, and peppercorns to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Stir and let cool to warm/room temperature.

Add 4 cups of ice cubes, the buttermilk, and hot sauce or cayenne. Whisk well. When the brine is cool to the touch, submerge the chicken in the brine. Refrigerate covered for 15-20 minutes. Remove and pat dry. Discard brine.

Combine dry ingredients for chicken rub.

Add chicken rub to 2 cups of self-rising flour and mix well.

When ready to fry, remove tender from the back of the chicken breast, if it is still intact.

Coat breasts lightly and evenly with chicken rub. Whisk together the eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk. One at a time, dip the chicken breasts into the egg mixture and immediately into cracker crumbs. Pat cracker crumbs into all sides.

Let sit for 5 minutes to make sure crust is solid before frying.

Heat a cast-iron skillet with at least ½ inch of peanut or cottonseed oil.

When the oil reaches 325 degrees F., place chicken in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and turn chicken over. Cook with the lid off for another 4 minutes or until desired color of brownness.

To keep chicken warm and crispy before assembling the sandwiches, place fried chicken on a rack set in a sheet pan and place in a 300-degree F. oven Serve on potato buns with pickles. Enjoy immediately. To up the ante, you can butter and grill the inside of the bun before making the sandwich.

Cancer treatments offer risks and benefits

up. Radiation can cause heart tissue to scar or stiffen. This might lead to valve or heart rhythm disorders, coronary artery disease or heart muscle disease. Women with breast cancer who receive radiation therapy face a slightly higher risk of a heart attack.

Heart dangers are magnified in cancer survivors who: • received both chemotherapy and radiation; • have recurrent cancer; • have pre-existing heart disease.

As for what you can do, medications can help prevent or treat heart effects from chemotherapy. All cancer survivors should stay vigilant for any new cardiovascular symptoms. If you experience shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue or a rapid, irregular heartbeat during or after treatment, report them to your doctor right away.

You already have had cancer and received treatment. For other readers who may be told in the future they have cancer, here are some direct questions to discuss with a doctor: Will the treatment cure the cancer or just postpone death? If it won’t be a cure, by how long will it postpone death? Will treatment improve cancer symptoms, now or in the future? And what are the side effects of treatment, including, but not limited to, heart problems?

Of course, the doctor’s answers only can be estimates. But people need that information to know which choice is right for them.

Dear Dr. K: I survived cancer, only to be told the treatments that saved my life might have increased my risk for cardiovascular disease. What are the risks? And can I minimize them?

Dear Reader: As more people are living longer after a cancer diagnosis, more people are coping with the long-term effects of cancer treatment. Many cancer-suppressing treatments can have undesirable effects, for example, on the heart and blood vessels.

I spoke to my colleague Dr. John Groarke, a cardio-oncologist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Experts in this field focus on promoting heart health in people with cancer, both during and after their treatment. He noted, as with most treatments, there are some risks as well as benefits – and the possible risks always need to be balanced against the benefits.

There can be adverse effects from cancer treatments on the heart and blood vessels, ranging from negligible to very serious. Of course, I don’t know what treatments you received, so I’m able to make only general statements.

People treated during childhood or after age 65 are more prone to heart issues from cancer therapy. And certain chemotherapy drugs are more harmful than others.

Newer, targeted cancer therapies tend to have fewer side effects than older chemo drugs. But these newer drugs, which disable genes or proteins cancer cells need to grow, also can affect cells in the heart and blood vessels and diminish the heart’s pumping power.

Another group of targeted therapy drugs slow the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors. But they also may raise blood pressure and prevent the growth of new blood vessels in parts of the heart that are starved for blood.

Heart damage from radiation therapy to the chest usually takes years to show

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I am a single mother of two Jeanne biracial daughPhillips ters, ages 2 and 4.

They fill my life with joy, and I am thankful to be their mother.

My problem is, I haven’t been able to face my family members since the birth of my second child.

My family has strong Christian roots, and I know they were disappointed when they heard about another unplanned pregnancy. This isn’t the first time I have disappointed them. I smoked a lot of marijuana as a teen and young adult. I straightened out my life during my late 20s.

I miss my family very much, and I also feel my children are missing out by not knowing them. My parents passed away many years ago. My children’s father was beaten to death days before my youngest daughter was born.

My aunts and uncles are all I have left, and it breaks my heart to think we have lost them, too. How should I handle this without getting my heart broken? – Mississippi Mommy Dear Mommy: Did these aunts and uncles have children, or are they childless? If you have cousins, consider reaching out to them first, because their views might be less conservative than their parents’. If your family’s Christian roots are as strong as you say they are, they should be both welcoming and forgiving, and embrace your children in their loving family circle.

However, if they are not, then it would be better for your little girls if they were not exposed to them. I have advised in the past sometimes people have to live their own lives and create their own families. If your relatives are rejecting, that is what you will have to do, not only for your daughters’ sake but also for your own.

Dear Abby: I have been getting together with a group of ladies for many years now. Husbands and boyfriends are welcome but rarely come. We enjoy meeting at each other’s houses and at restaurants every few months.

We are having a problem with one member, “Gail,” who is envious of “Rose,” a still-beautiful former model. Gail has been making remarks Rose “must have had work done” on her face to be able to retain her looks for so long. (I think it is a combination of good genes, sunscreen and incredible bone structure.)

What Rose has or hasn’t done is none of Gail’s business. Rose is aware of Gail’s jealousy, and it puts a damper on our good times and our caring attitudes toward each other. We wish Gail would drop out. Have you any ideas on how we can deal with this problem? – Club

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Your desire for change will be met with emotional opposition if you aren’t clear about the way you want to pursue your goals. Plan your strategy with precision and detail before presenting your ideas and goals. Refuse to let your personal life interfere with your professional gains.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t feel the need to explain everything you do. Wasting time will not get the job done. Make sure you complete everything before you show off your accomplishments. A sudden turn of events will favor you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – The doors are wide open for you to make a move, learn something

new or just forge into the future with a positive attitude. This is no time to be critical.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – An opportunity will develop if you offer assistance. Your ability to mediate thorny situations will give your reputation a positive spin that will encourage an interesting proposal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Refuse to let anyone stifle your creativity or put you in jeopardy by misinterpreting what you stand for. Express the way you feel and keep moving forward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You’ll be torn between what you want to do and what you should do. You’ll be enticed to head down the wrong path. An unhealthy choice is a risk you shouldn’t take.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Look, listen and

make things happen. Any challenge you face will be worth winning. Put your all into whatever you decide to pursue. Home improvements are favored.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t worry about the reaction you get from others. If you are satisfied with the way things are progressing, you don’t have to answer to anyone who doubts your decisions.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Too much of anything will be to your detriment. Pace your every move and don’t spend more than you can afford. Patience and tolerance will help you come out on top.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Focus on getting ahead. Doing your best to stabilize an iffy situation will lead to solutions, relief and a brighter

future. Address issues instead of ignoring them.

Romance will ease stress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t let inflexibility stand in your way. If you are open to suggestions and willing to compromise, much will be accomplished. Learn as you go and be willing to adapt.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Be careful who you trust and what you promise. Problems will arise if you are indulgent or neglect to get your facts straight before taking part in something that could lead to regret.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Participate, but don’t agree to do things that push you beyond your comfort zone. Offer alternatives. Home and personal investments and relationships are highlighted. Express your plans.

Been to all the garage sales?! DONT MISS THIS ONE! Place your Classified ad online 24/7 at: www.TheHerald-News.com/PlaceAnAd

Students will occasionally ask me this question: Why use fourth-highest when it sometimes helps declarer instead of the defenders?

It is true that all of the defenders’ methods can be analyzed by declarer, and he may benefit from the “free” information. However, defense is so difficult that the defenders just have to accept those bad deals. With no leading or signaling agreements, many contracts would make that could have been defeated. For example, in this deal, how should the defenders card to defeat three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest spade seven?

At trick one, East must put his spade jack onto the table, the bottom of equivalent cards when playing third hand high. (In general, assuming a defender can afford to do it, he plays the top of touching honors -- except when he is the third hand to play to a trick and is going to put up the highest card so far played -- he might even take the trick.)

South wins with his spade king, leads a club to dummy’s ace, and returns a club. What should East discard?

It looks tempting to pitch the heart queen, but that isn’t right. East applies the Rule of Eleven to the opening lead. Seven from 11 is four.

So, there are four spades higher than the seven in the dummy, his hand and declarer’s hand combined, and he has seen them all: dummy’s nine, his jack and queen, and declarer’s king. So, West’s spade suit is ready to run. But West doesn’t know who has the spade queen. East must clarify the position by discarding the aforementioned spade queen.
