Amazon’s announcement last week that it will open a third fulfillment center in Will County is getting attention.

Local officials hope it’s the kind of attention that will lead to more business growth and better roads to support development.

Amazon is the kind of company that gets noticed when it announces a new facility, said John Greuling, CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development.

“I get calls from my associates in other states who ask, ‘What’s in the water in Will County that Amazon is locating so many fulfillment centers there?’” Greuling said.

Amazon announced Tuesday that it will open a 750,000-square-foot fulfillment center in Romeoville. The e-commerce retailer is taking over a one-time Montgomery Ward distribution center in the Windham Lakes Business Park.

Romeoville Mayor John Noak said the building is already full of construction

workers retrofitting it so Amazon can start operating in the fall.

“There are probably 100 cars out there right now because of construction workers on the project,” Noak said.

The mayor said news of the Amazon facility is spreading fast, mainly because of the 600 jobs the site has to offer. He said the village has seen other e-commerce prospects, including brick-and-mortar retailers scouting facilities for their online operations, and he hopes the Amazon announcement will persuade some of them to locate in Romeoville.

JJC trustees hear proposed Channahon agreement

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Channahon village officials have spoken with Joliet Junior College trustees on an intergovernmental agreement that would finance public improvements for new development.

The village officials have been visiting with local taxing bodies this summer to gain support on an agreement that would help the development of warehouse and distribution facilities on property located south of Route 6 and east of Interstate 55.

The facilities would be constructed by Hillwood Investment Properties, a business unit of the company Hillwood that was established by Ross Perot Jr. in 1988.

“They’re becoming active in the Chicago market presently,” said Thomas Durkin, Channahon village administrator, at last week’s JJC trustees workshop meeting. “They’re doing a couple of buildings on Laraway Road for Amazon right now.”

The proposed site would be six build-

WHERE IT’S AT

• Relevant information • Marketing Solutions • Community Advocates

n Fulfillment center opens October 2015 in Laraway Crossing Business Park in Joliet; employs 1,500 workers. n Amazon in May announces second Joliet fulfillment center in Laraway Crossings Business Park; will employ 2,000 in the fall. n Amazon announced Tuesday a fulfillment center in Romeoville. Local officials expect it to open in the fall with 600 employees.

“Hopefully, this sends a signal to the entire industry,” Noak said.

The Amazon fulfillment center will be located near the Interstate 55 interchange at Weber Road, which local officials want to see improved to relieve traffic congestion already there.

Amazon is in the process of preparing a second fulfillment center in Joliet at the Laraway Crossings Business Park, where it opened its first local fulfillment center in October 2015. Those operations are located near the Interstate 80 interchange at Route 53, an old interchange that local officials also want improved.

Greuling said the business growth in Will County is getting the attention of state officials who make decisions on where to spend money on roads.

Gov. Bruce Rauner said as much when he was in Joliet with state Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn this month to announce a future bridge to be built at Houbolt Road over the Des Plaines River to accommodate truck traffic headed for I-80.

“These projects,” Greuling said, “are going to drive a lot of significant infrastructure improvement, which is good.”

ings totaling 4.3 million square feet. The development requires off-site public improvements at East Frontage Road and Amoco Road, as well as the extension of a Channahon village water main to the property.

Part of the proposed agreement would be Hillwood doing the improvements and taxing bodies reimbursing the company $5 million – plus 5 percent interest – through property taxes generated by the development.

“There’s going to be some modifications to this agreement but not to the substance of the agreement,” Durkin said.

Some of the benefits Durkin said would come out of the development include improved access to the property and more jobs. He said those jobs would include warehousing, manufacturing, distribution, logistics and more.

Trustee Alicia Morales said she’s seen in the last decade or so similar warehouses going up in Elwood and job recruiters looking daily for people to work at them.

“But the jobs that are being offered are

minimum wage jobs and it seems like in Joliet and the surrounding areas, it used to be the railroad industry, the steel mill – now it’s like logistics. It’s evolving into that. I’d like to see something more with better quality salaries, maybe more professional jobs,” she said.

Durkin said it wasn’t the village offering the jobs but the market and those decisions start on the national level.

“It’s also a lot of the trade agreements and things of that nature, things that are well beyond my understanding. … But these are all decisions that do trickle down to the local level with respect to that, too,” he said.

He said what Channahon is trying to do is be responsive to the economic development needs of the local community.

“We’re trying to do the best job that we can for our local taxing bodies, for our local residents, and be responsive to the market,” he said.

Durkin said village officials would return to the trustees in September with more on the agreement.

Variety, customer connection help craft beer gain larger market share

By MIKE MALLORY

R

mmallory@shawmedia.com

OMEOVILLE – Dan Camp and Jason Janes had planned to brew up a batch of their signature beer one recent July morning.

But some complications arose, so they pushed it back a few days.

Such a decision would raise a red flag at mainstream breweries across the country. For craft brewers, it’s a different story.

Rather than never-ending production schedules and massive outputs of just a few beers, which their larger competitors are known for, small and independently owned craft brewing companies prefer creative control and a connection with customers.

Take Metal Monkey Brewing in Romeoville, for example. Owned and operated by Camp, Janes and a few others, the six-month-old business is outselling its initial projections, mostly thanks to word of mouth.

The half-taproom, half-brewery with tall ceilings and walls decked in heavy metal memorabilia is tucked in the middle of a small industrial park off Route 53 at 515 Anderson Drive. It certainly doesn’t match real estate buzz Photos by Eric Ginnard - eginnard@shawmedia.com phrases such as “prime location” or ABOVE: Jason Janes, a brewer and founder of Metal Monkey Brewing in Romeoville, moves a tapped cooler through the brewery “downtown commercial district.”

And it doesn’t seem to matter.

A booming industry

Metal Monkey and other Will County breweries such as Werk Force Brewing in Plainfield and Pollyanna Brewing Co. in Lemont have emerged, adding to the statewide craft brewing trend. According to the Brewers Association website, the number of craft breweries in Illinois has jumped from 54 in 2011 to 157 in 2015. The state ranked 13th in 2015 with 595,237 gallons of craft beer made.

Craft beer is a national trend, too, continuing to grow its share of the national beer market, the association website states. In 2015, the overall beer market dropped 0.2 percent while craft brewing production and sales grew about 13 percent.

Creative brewing has yet to see a down year or leveling-off since its rise began. There’s been steady, significant

growth in each of the last seven years.

In 2009, there were 9.1 million barrels of craft beer produced in America. In 2015, there were 24.5 million.

Hopping with variety

The beer market is evolving so much that craft beer lovers are carving their own niche aside from actual

brewing. Iron & Glass, a craft beer tap room and bottle shop, is looking to open by Thanksgiving in Romeoville.

If it weren’t for the craft beer revolution, co-owner Eric Schutz might not have ever been a fan of beer, nor a

prospective craft beer vendor.

“I didn’t drink beer until I tried craft beer,” Schutz said. “Not even in college.”

ROMEOVILLE

Lewis University program gets grant

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent ROMEOVILLE – Melissa Adriana Jimenez wears her red Lewis University shirt, which signifies her role as a mentor to incoming freshman students.

Four years ago this month, the former Highland Park resident took her first steps onto the Lewis campus as a freshman.

“This program gave me a good idea of what I had to come because I got to meet many of my professors before the semester began, so my first year of college I knew what they expected from me as a student,” Jimenez said.

Since 1975, Lewis has offered a twoweek Bridge Program for students who applied, but did not meet certain acceptance requirements. During the two weeks, 50 to 60 students take classes, and become acquainted with the campus, college expectations and professors.

After the two weeks, Pat Jones, coordinator of Bridge and Success programs, said an average of 50 percent move on to become official students

“This program gave me a good idea of what I had to come because I got to meet many of my professors before the semester began, so my first year of college I knew what they expected from me as a student.”

Melissa Adriana Jimenez Lewis University student

and into the Success Program, which mentors them during the first year and offers an $8,000 scholarship for tuition payments.

“We feel these programs offer another layer of academic support. Once the Bridge Program is over, the students experience intensive advising, coaching for classes, activities and study skills,” said Kurt Schackmuth, vice president for mission and academic services. “We offer tools and resources to be successful, because ultimately being in college is all about being successful.”

Jimenez said she does not know whether she would be in her current

position if she had not gone through the program and had a great mentor herself, and she now takes pride in the ability to offer the knowledge and maturity she has gained at Lewis over her four years.

“I will graduate in December with a degree in social work and because of my mentor Melissa Farmer, who kept tabs on me even when I was out of the Success Program, I want to strive to do better and plan to get a master’s degree as well,” Jimenez said. “I’m also happy to help freshmen I mentor through their bumps in the road. I love this program.”

Schackmuth said the program has been funded through university oper-

ating fund budgets, student scholarships and organizations that provide funds. Friday, AT&T gave the largest grant check the program has received in the past 10 years, one for $45,000.

“At AT&T we believe in success of our younger generation and wish to provide a path for success. Since 2008, AT&T has dedicated $350 million to programs such as this,” AT&T Director of External Affairs and Lewis University alum Jeff Adducci said during the presentation.

Adducci said the grant ties into the company’s Aspire Initiative, which helps high school students succeed. He said the initiative flows into the Bridge Program, which takes the high school students into their first year of college.

“In Illinois alone, AT&T has donated $9 million since 2008 to help high school kids succeed in their first year of college,” Adducci said.

Schackmuth said the grant helped the program create a textbook fund, offered additional scholarships, trained peer mentors, offered community building opportunities and helped professors redesign the curriculum.

Drew Peterson gets 40 years in murder-for-hire scheme

By ANDY GRIMM

Chicago Sun-Times

CHESTER – Ex-Bolingbrook cop and convicted killer Drew Peterson knew there were good odds he would die behind bars before he’d finished his 38-year sentence for the murder of third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Friday, the odds got longer still, as a downstate judge handed the 62-year-old Peterson a Drew 40-year sentence for try- Peterson ing to hire a hitman to kill Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow.

It was a subdued performance for Peterson, who shouted “I did not kill Kathleen” at the top of his lungs during his sentencing hearing three years ago. In a soft-spoken tone Friday, a worn-looking Peterson offered Randolph County Judge Richard Brown a rambling account of his nearly decade-long run as a tabloid villain, and insisted that his latest conviction was – yet again – the work of bungling defense lawyers and an overzealous Glasgow.

Peterson was convicted in May of trying to hire a hitman to target Glasgow, who had led the investigation of the for-

The sentence for soliciting someone to kill Glasgow – 20 years less than the maximum sentence sought by prosecutors, 20 years more than the minimum called for by Peterson’s lawyer – won’t begin until he’s completed his sentence for Savio’s murder, moving his parole date decades out from his former parole date of 2047, when he will be 93.

Noting that his relatives seldom live past their 80s, Peterson closed his statement to the judge: “You can sentence me, I guess, to whatever you want. … It doesn’t matter.”

Peterson, who had asked a judge to fire his court-appointed attorney, Lucas Liefer, ahead of Friday’s hearing, claimed Liefer had not presented evidence to jurors that would have proved Peterson was attempting a scam to win a fellow inmate a shorter sentence, and was not really trying to have Glasgow killed. Peterson and his lawyer did not

make eye contact during the hourlong hearing.

Glasgow himself addressed the court before Peterson spoke, a ritual of sentencing hearings known as the “victim impact statement” that he had watched many times during his more than 30 years as a prosecutor.

“I’m not personally the victim here.

The criminal justice system is the victim here,” Glasgow told the judge. “A threat against myself is a threat against every prosecutor.”

Glasgow said the $10,000 Peterson offered to a gang member Peterson befriended while serving time at Menard Correctional Center had made his wife and young children paranoid. Glasgow’s 13-year-old son recently was startled when he heard a ceramic pot shatter outside the family’s Joliet home, and thought it was a hitman’s gunshot.

“He came running into the house. He was terrified,” Glasgow said. “[My family] was really unnerved by that, and that should never have happened.”

Glasgow recounted the other side of his decade-long pursuit of Peterson, whose unseemly cockiness in the wake of Stacy Peterson’s 2007 disappearance has long galled the veteran prosecutor.

After months of searching for Stacy’s body, Glasgow reopened the investigation into Savio’s death, which had been

ruled an accident not long after her body was discovered in the bathtub of her Bolingbrook home in 2004, not long after she and Peterson divorced.

Glasgow would eventually lobby for changes to state law that would allow him to use statements Stacy Peterson made to her pastor and her lawyer before her death to implicate Drew in Savio’s murder – evidence jurors would say was crucial in deciding to convict Drew Peterson at his 2013 trial. Getting federal investigators to use sophisticated equipment to record Peterson in prison was another longshot move that helped win another conviction, Glasgow told reporters. In court, Peterson said Glasgow’s efforts were “a threat to the Constitution.”

Closing his remarks to the judge, Peterson turned to face Glasgow’s seat on the opposite side of the courtroom and directly addressed his nemesis.

“I never did try to have you killed,” he said to Glasgow, who turned away from Peterson’s gaze. “You can think what you want.”

Outside the courtroom, Glasgow hinted that he may still charge Peterson with murdering Stacy Peterson. While her body has never been found, Glasgow noted that each year that passes with no evidence Stacy is alive makes it easier to build the case that she is dead, not missing.

State is 4 months behind in payments to Will County 911

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The state is still four months behind in payments to Will County’s 911 board, despite a stopgap budget approved June 30.

The appropriations bill guaranteed six months of funding for some entities, while others, such as K-12 public schools and first response agencies, were put on a yearlong funding plan.

“We had some real concerns,” Steve Figved, chief administrator of Will County 911, said Wednesday. “We thought we were going to go without funding.”

The money will allow the board to fund infrastructure improvements or replacements.

But catching up on past payments takes some time. And while he knows the money will come, Figved said, he’s not sure when or how much each payment will be, making it difficult to plan for necessary expenditures.

“It’s not a fixed amount,” Figved said. “It could be $380,000, it could be $290,000. So we have to keep our capital reserves up.”

Since the stopgap budget was signed,

Check out our new

the 911 board has received only the March payment from the state. Figved said the state has told him an April payment might come by September.

The lack of funding also affects municipal agencies. The 911 board uses about 20 percent of its budget for a grant program that provides dollars to municipal fire and police agencies and the six dispatch centers in the county.

In August, Figved will ask for approval from the board to reinstate the program now that funds are expected to come in. Municipal agencies can use their shares of the $1 million to buy radios and computers while dispatch centers can pay ambulance fees, he said.

When Illinois legislators agreed in June 2015 to consolidate dispatch centers throughout the state, it brought a significant change in the funding mechanism.

Before the legislation, money collected by phone companies via the 911 charge on all phone bills was sent directly to county agencies. In Illinois, the monthly charge was 75 cents for landlines and 73 cents for cellphones. It was bumped to 87 cents each.

While the updated laws create more funding for 911 agencies across Illinois, particularly in downstate counties, administrators never had to worry before about when the money was coming, Figved said.

“We thought it worked nicely when the money came directly from the cellphone companies,” he said.

Going forward

Figved said he’s cautioning the 911 board that the state may “sweep” in December some money intended for 911 agencies to other spending areas,

CHICAGO – Police shot and killed a black Chicago teen Thursday who appears to have been unarmed and was in a car reported stolen earlier in the day from Bolingbrook.

Three officers connected to the incident have been relieved of their powers and the death has been ruled a homicide.

Police tried to stop the Jaguar S-type convertible shortly before 7:30 p.m. in the 7400 block of South Merrill Street in Chicago, according to a news release from the Chicago Police Department.

The car stopped, and police got out of their vehicle, First Deputy Superintendent John Escalante said. He said the teen then put the Jaguar in drive, sideswiping a squad car and a parked vehicle, and officers then fired and the teen was shot.

Paul O’Neal, 18, was pronounced dead at 9:08 p.m. Thursday at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. Autopsy results showed that he died of a gunshot wound to the back.

The news release stated that some officers were injured, but their injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Police did not find a gun on the street or inside the stolen vehicle, de-

partment spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson relieved two officers of their police powers Friday. A third officer was relieved of his powers Saturday.

In a statement, Guglielmi said Johnson spent hours reviewing video evidence with other officials after the release of the autopsy report.

Although a formal investigation is still ongoing, “Johnson has pledged that CPD will conduct a thorough and fact based administrative review,” Guglielmi said.

The handling of officer-involved shootings in Chicago has come under intense scrutiny since the release last November of a video that shows a white officer fatally shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times.

Officials made a point Thursday of explaining all they were doing to investigate. Investigators from the Independent Police Review Authority arrived and obtained footage from cameras that the officers were wearing or were mounted on their squad cars. IPRA spokeswoman Mia Sissac said the footage would be posted online within 60 days, per city policy.

Continued from page 10

citing that many operations across the state received only six months of funding.

Figved said he was expecting to see several million dollars in statewide 911 funds swept to other areas as part of the stopgap budget, and was surprised it didn’t happen.

Figved said he and other 911 leaders would like to see more consistent funding from the state, and that it’s “difficult to budget when you don’t know when or how much money is coming in.” He’d also like to see better clarification of the June 2015 legislation by lawmakers, including specific training requirements for dispatchers and a better outline of dispatch center consolidation expectations.

Court date set for minor involved in fatal crash in Grundy County

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A court date of Aug. 2 has been set in Will County for a Morris teen involved in a double fatal car crash after the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office filed a motion to vacate a plea in the case that was originally heard in court June 28.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office filed a motion Tuesday asking a judge to vacate the plea on the grounds the defense committed fraud against the court.

According to court documents, the 16-year-old 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 court records list as Ryan Wharrie, negotiated a plea agreement with the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office in which in exchange for his guilty plea during the June 28 court appearance, the teen would be sentenced to 12 months’ supervision, pay $450

in fines and costs, and attend traffic safety school, according to the motion filed Tuesday seeking to vacate that agreement.

In an unrelated case in Grundy County, the teen was issued a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after he was involved in a fatal crash.

He is not being named because he is a minor and has not been charged as an adult.

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 in Morris when they were hit from behind by the teen, who was driving an SUV owned by Morris Elementary School District 54 Principal Chris Maier, according to crash reports. The Wendlings both died as a result of the collision.

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.

Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the Will County State’s Attorney Office,

has said the office was not aware the teen had other charges pending in other counties when the agreement in the Will County case was reached.

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

Pelkie has said that 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 positive to note about the defendant – the teen’s attorney waived comment.

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.

A call to Wharrie on Friday was not immediately returned.

found in 3 Will County communities The HERALD–NEWS

Mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile virus have been found in three Will County communities, according to a news release from the County Executive’s Office.

The County Health Department’s environmental health program has 14 mosquito monitoring sites throughout the county.

Positive samples were found June 30, July 12 and July 22 in Bolingbrook; July 5 and July 19 in Naperville; and July 8 in Shorewood.

West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Birds pass the virus to mosquitoes through a blood meal.

Most people infected with the virus exhibit no clinical symptoms, but about 20 percent of cases result in mild or serious illness. Preliminary symptoms typically include fever, headaches or body aches. More

serious illnesses can result in meningitis, encephalitis or death.

No human or animal cases have been found in Will County in 2016.

The county collected 87 West Nile virus-positive batches in 2015, 62 of which were from environmental health traps. Will was one of 64 Illinois counties to report some sort of West Nile virus activity last year.

The Health Department recommends that people spending time outdoors take precautions against mosquito bites. Long sleeves, pants, shoes and socks are strongly recommended. Insect repellent also is advised. Consult a physician before using repellents on infants.

The Health Department also collects a small number of birds for testing by the state. To report dead birds, call 815-740-7631.

CUSTER PARK – A fourth rabid bat has been reported in Will County, according to a news release from the County Executive’s Office.

The bat was found alive Wednesday near an outdoor pond at a residence in Custer Park. There was no human exposure.

The resident noticed the bat lying on the ground near the pond and used a rake to push the bat into a bucket. A family of four with three dogs lives in the residence.

The Will County Health and Animal Control departments were notified and retrieved the bat for rabies testing.

The bat tested positive for rabies Thursday.

Animal Control is working with the family to determine whether any of the dogs were exposed to rabies.

Only one of the dogs is up-to-date on its rabies vaccinations.

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

• Be sure dogs and cats are up-to-

date on rabies vaccinations.

• Do not allow pets to roam free.

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

• If a wild animal comes on your property, let it wander away. Bring children and pets indoors and alert neighbors. If the animal is acting abnormally, contact Animal Control.

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

• Report all animal bites to Animal Control.

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

Report any contact with a bat, or other warm-blooded animal, to the nearest animal control authority as soon as possible. The Will County Animal Control Department is available 24 hours daily at 815-462-5633.

Monday marks the launch of the Rock Island Line’s new express midday service, according to a Metra news release that states the service will speed up the trip between suburban stations and downtown Chicago by 15 to 20 minutes.

Metra is modifying its schedule to add three inbound express trains and two outbound express runs during the midday as part of a six-month trial program. The changes were driven by the success of weekend express service launched last year.

The three inbound trains will make all stops from Joliet to Blue Island and then proceed to the 35th Street/Lou Jones Station or the LaSalle Street Station with the option for passengers to request a flag stop at 35th Street/Lou Jones. Three additional inbound trains will originate in Blue Island, make all stops along the Beverly Branch, stop at Gresham and serve 35th Street/Lou Jones with either a flag stop or scheduled stop. Suburban customers going to a Beverly Branch station and branch

riders heading to the suburbs will need to transfer at Blue Island.

Two midday outbound trains will offer express service from LaSalle Street to Blue Island and stations further south with the option of flag stops at 35th Street/Lou Jones. Another two midday outbound trains will accommodate riders along the line’s Beverly Branch. These trains will also make flag stops at 35th Street/Lou Jones.

Customers wishing to make transfers should tell their conductor on the first leg of their trip so their ticket can be marked appropriately. In addition, at stations marked as flag stops, the train will stop to discharge passengers only if the passengers notify the conductor in advance and will stop to pick up passengers only if they are visible on the platform to the engineer.

Ridership will be evaluated before any decision is made to make a permanent change to the Rock Island schedule.

New timetables are available on Rock Island trains and at stations.

The new schedule also can be found at metrarail.com.

KENDRA J. CARPENTER

Rev. William F. Condon died on July 27, 2016, at St. Luke’s Hospital in The Woodlands, TX. He was 89 years old.

Father Bill was born on April 20, 1927, in Joliet. In his 62 years of priesthood, Father Bill fully embraced the power of Liturgy. His pastoring and his powerful sermons were his trademarks. When asked for a copy of his sermons, speeches and notes he always said that he did not have any. He spoke from his heart and his mind. If you ever had the opportunity to meet him, then you know his presence was palpable, captivating and beyond intriguing.

He was a man not easily forgotten. Yet, he was neither arrogant nor prideful. Each encounter was a gift. His conversations gently tested your myopic views and challenged you to see beyond your narrow borders.

Father Bill was a lifelong fan of both the Chicago Cubs and Notre Dame Football.

He was fond of traveling, especially to his beloved Ireland, playing bridge with his many companions and enjoying the company of all he encountered. He lived in the moment and involved everyone in conversation. He also sang his favorite songs out loud in his booming voice even when there was no music to accompany him. Father Bill’s education included schooling at St. Raymond Nonna-

Kendra J. Carpenter “Kiki,” age 39, passed away suddenly July 15, 2016, in San Diego.

Born in Joliet, living in Lockport most of her life before moving to California in 2004, where she worked as a social worker for API. Kendra had a love and passion for animals, especially her dogs.

Survived by her loving parents, Russell and Joellyn (Badger) Carpenter; a sister, Danielle Carpenter; a brother, Jacob Carpenter; a niece, Shelby Carpenter; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Kendra’s name to an animal organization of your choice would be appreciated. A memorial gathering celebrating Kendra’s life will be held Aug. 13, 2016, in the O’Neil Funeral Home, 1105 E. Ninth St., Lockport, with times to be announced. Family and friends can sign the online guestbook or to attain directions at: www.oneilfuneralhome.com.

REV. WILLIAM F. CONDON

Born: April 20, 1927 Died: July 27, 2016

tus and Joliet Catholic High School, both in Joliet. In 1945 he began his priestly training at Quigley Preparatory Seminary in Chicago.

From there he enrolled at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary, Mundelein, in 1947.

Father Bill was ordained into priesthood on May 1, 1954, by most Rev. Martin D. McNamara at the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus, Joliet. He served as associate pastor at St. Patrick Church and the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus, both in Joliet, before being named in 1963 as the founding pastor of St. Raphael Church in Naperville, where he remained until 1978. After 1963, Father Bill was an enthusiastic promoter of the vision of the Church proclaimed in the deliberation of Vatican Council II and embodied in its documents.

He encouraged laity to take ownership of their Church deriving from the power of their baptism. Father Bill felt strongly that only when all give full, conscious and active participation will we know and feel the fulfillment of God’s presence in His Church. After a sabbatical year and brief service at St. Joseph, Downers Grove, and St Mark, Wheaton, Father Bill moved to the Diocese of Richmond, VA. There he served as pastor at three parishes, Church of the Redeemer, Mechanicsville, VA, St. Edward the Confessor, Richmond, VA, and St. Ann, Colonial Heights, VA, from where he retired from active pastoring in 1997.

In retirement Father Bill lived in Clarksville, VA, until January 2001, when he moved to Mesa, AZ, to be closer to dear friends and his beloved Cubs’ spring training facility. He continued ministering at weekend Liturgies, primarily at St. Dominic in Rio Verde, AZ, and Mission of Ascension Church in Fountain Hills, AZ. In 2012, he performed a brief period of service with Hospice of the Valley, ministering to dying Catholic patients in the region. Father Bill’s last residence was at the Verandah Retirement Community in Lake Charles, LA, where he moved in 2014 to be close to family members.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John R. Condon and Cecile M. (Bannon) Condon; his brother, Patrick; his brothers-inlaw, William Flavin and William Hartmann; his sister-in-law, Norma (Steinke) Condon; and nephew, Patrick Hartmann.

Surviving are two sisters, Marilyn (Condon)

Flavin of Lake Charles, LA, and Virginia (Condon) Hartmann of Joliet, as well as 21 nieces and nephews; and numerous grand-nieces and nephews and great-grandnieces and nephews. “Father Bill,” as he was known by his nieces and nephews, was a great uncle to all!

He enjoyed spending many holidays, attending sporting events and vacationing with his many family members. He was also overwhelmingly requested as the presiding priest at numerous family baptisms, first communions, weddings and funerals. We would be remiss in not sharing what an amazing, fun and loving uncle he was. His exuberance for life was contagious. He told us he needed at least 8 hugs a day to grow. He made each of us feel as if we were his “favorite” niece or nephew.

He had a knack for making holidays special and fun. He played “Let’s Make a Deal” to hand out our Christmas presents. Each year as part of our Christmas celebration, he purchased tickets and accompanied all of his nieces and nephews along with their parents to a fancy theater to watch one of the classic movies of the time such as “The Sound of Music.”

Several summers, he took each of his siblings’ family on vacation to Wisconsin, where we had our first experience water skiing. He will be greatly missed.

Father William F. Condon will lie In state at St. Raphael Catholic Church, 1215 Modaff Road, Naperville, IL 60540, on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2016, from 3 to 6 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday, Aug. 5, 2016, at 10:30 a.m. Father Bill will be placed in eternal rest at a family plot in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Joliet.

Memorials in his name to Catholic Charities of Joliet would be appreciated.

Funeral services under the direction of Fred C. Dames Funeral Home, 3200 Black (at Essington roads), Joliet.

JAY HOWARD STITELEY Jay Howard Stiteley, 19542016, a beloved husband, brother and son, passed away on July 23, 2016, after a brief but intense battle with cancer.

He is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Karen Stiteley; his brother, Jack Glen Stiteley; sister, Kim Tarkowski; father, Jack Stiteley; and stepmother, Lois, of Sun City West, AZ. Jay was a generous and caring uncle to eight nieces and nephews and will be long remembered by his extended family and numerous friends and colleagues.

Most recently serving as the manager of

the mayor of Houston’s office for people with disabilities, his impressive career enabled him to educate, advocate for, and serve the disabled community, especially the blind and visually impaired through his talents, gifts, and personal experience. Always shining as an example of a successful, independent blind person, Jay touched the lives of everyone he met whether in pursuing his second master’s degree, while serving on an advisory board to Delta Airlines, or mentoring students as dean of the Tennessee School for the Blind. Jay attended St. Anne Catholic Church and was an avid Notre Dame football fan, a voracious reader, and enjoyed playing cards and backgammon.

Though many will mourn his passing, he will be especially missed by his dog-guide, Nelson, who was his seventh dog from the Seeing Eye, where Jay also served for 13 years of his career.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Jay’s name to The Seeing Eye of Morristown, N.J. Visitation and Rosary was held Thursday, July 28, 2016, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Bradshaw-Carter on W.

STATE

Flag-burning laws unconstitutional, but persist

By DAVID MERCER

Protesters burn an American flag Feb. 23 in Chicago. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that flag burning and other forms of damage are constitutionally protected free speech.

The Associated Press

URBANA – Champaign County State’s Attorney Julia Rietz had just finished walking in a July 4th parade when her assistant told her a central Illinois man had been arrested on suspicion of burning an American flag.

Rietz said she knew “immediately” that the Urbana Police Department needed to release Bryton Mellott, who posted a video of the act on Facebook and whom police initially said they arrested to protect from threats. The state law used to jail him, although clear in its prohibition of desecrating either the U.S. or state flags, is unconstitutional.

An Associated Press analysis shows at least 40 states still have flag-desecration laws, punishing those who burn or otherwise damage U.S. and – in most cases – state flags with fines or even jail time. A handful of Southern states extend that protection to Confederate flags. Yet, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in separate cases in 1989 and 1990 that flag burning and other forms of damage are constitutionally protected free speech.

Most people who burn flags in protest, such as those outside of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this month, are not arrested.

But at least eight people have been arrested since 2007 for acts such as burn-

Urbana library opens after sniffer dogs finish bedbug search

URBANA – The Urbana Free Library has reopened after workers using specially trained sniffer dogs determined that a possible bedbug infestation there was not widespread.

The library said in a news release it was resuming normal operations Saturday after the bedbugs were found to be limited to a bin used for returning checked-out materials.

The bin and items inside will remain isolated until they can be treated.

ing a flag while walking in traffic and hanging a torn flag from a tree. And there appears to be little political motivation to change or do away with the flag desecration laws, an act for which some voters might punish them.

“Inevitably, someone who is not schooled in Supreme Court decisions reads the statute book and says, ‘Hey, let’s take this guy in,’ ” said Ken Paulson, dean of the College of Media and Entertainment at Middle Tennessee State University and president of the First Amendment Center. He argues that the laws need to be repealed, saying, “Otherwise, innocent people will be arrested.”

Aurora ‘drunkard list’ cited in limiting public intoxication

AURORA – Aurora’s “habitual drunkard list” has few names, but officials call it a success.

City officials approved the list about a year ago in changing the liquor code. They tried to control public drunkenness with the list and a prohibition on taverns and liquor stores opening at 6 a.m.

of action to get rid of their flag desecration laws; Alaska, Wyoming and Wisconsin have no such laws.

“I can tell you that some of the emails and messages that I’ve received, I’ll kindly say (they are) passionate,” Rietz said of the response to the Urbana man’s arrest. “I can see where a legislator might not want to vote against this kind of a statute or take action on it.”

Maryland State Delegate Eric Bromwell recently sponsored and pushed through legislation amending state law to allow flag-themed commercial products and events, something that his fellow lawmakers were nervous about because they thought it might affect its prohibition on flag desecration.

“People were very careful when they signed onto the bill when I was

the west side community-oriented police unit, told The Beacon-News that none of the four people on the list has been arrested since landing there.

But he said it will take a while to evaluate its effectiveness.

Habitual drunkards are those who have been arrested by police or transported by ambulance in incidents involving alcohol six times in six months.

They are prohibited from buying alcohol in Aurora.

WWII vet from Illinois buried after mass grave found

ALSIP – A U.S. Marine from Illinois who was killed in one of the bloodiest World War II battles in the Pacific has been buried near his hometown of Blue Island after his remains were discovered in a mass grave.

looking for co-sponsors. The question came up with every turn,” the self-described conservative Democrat said.

Flags regularly are burned around the country as parts of protests, such as in Cleveland. Although there were some arrests, no one was charged under Ohio’s flag desecration law.

But, as Paulson said, the laws sometimes do land people in jail. An 18-yearold Maryland woman was charged in 2009 with flag desecration after walking in traffic with a burning flag. The charge eventually was dropped. And in 2013, a Pennsylvania man was jailed for several days after police accused him of hanging a torn, cut American flag from a tree, although a prosecutor declined to pursue the charge.

This July 4th, there were two arrests for alleged flag desecration half a country apart.

An 18-year-old New Orleans woman was jailed overnight for a number of alleged offenses, among them taking a Confederate flag from a home; Louisiana’s flag desecration law includes Confederate flags. Court records indicate she has not yet been charged, a decision that won’t be made until her scheduled court appearance Aug. 18.

Meanwhile, Mellott was taken into custody after posting a video to Facebook of him burning an American flag.

He wrote that he was ashamed of his country because of its treatment of the poor, minorities and homosexuals.

Eighteen-year-old Marine Pfc. Charles E. Oetjen died in November 1943 on the first day of the Battle of Tarawa between U.S. and Japanese forces on the small central Pacific atoll.

His remains were missing until a nonprofit called History Flight discovered a burial site on Betio Island and turned over the remains of several dozen Marines in 2015 to the U.S. Defense Department.

DNA analysis confirmed his identity.

Oetjen was buried Saturday with military honors in Alsip.

E. Chicago wants to demolish housing on contaminated site

EAST CHICAGO, Ind. – The East Chicago Housing Authority wants to demolish a housing complex where soil is contaminated with lead.

The Times reported Saturday that the housing authority submitted a “demolition or disposition” application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and that a public hearing has been scheduled for the coming week.

The city advised more than 1,000 residents last week that they should temporarily relocate after the Environmental Protection Agency informed the city that the ground within the public housing complex had high levels of arsenic and lead.

The neighborhood used to be home to the USS Lead facility.

It’s now part of a 79-acre U.S. EPA Superfund site.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said it can provide residents with “tenant protection vouchers.”

Power lines dwarf the scene near Lockhart, Texas, where officials work Saturday to investigate the crash of a hot-air balloon carrying at least 16 people.

No apparent survivors in Texas crash of balloon carrying 16

By JIM VERTUNO

The Associated Press LOCKHART, Texas – A hot-air balloon carrying at least 16 people caught on fire and crashed in Central Texas on Saturday, and there did not appear to be any survivors, authorities said.

Authorities would not confirm the exact number of deaths, but Lynn Lunsford with the Federal Aviation Administration said the balloon was carrying at least 16 people and the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that it did not appear anyone survived.

If 16 people were killed, it would be the one of the worst such disasters, possibly the worst in U.S. history. The deadliest such disaster happened in February 2013, when a balloon flying over Luxor, Egypt, caught fire and plunged 1,000 feet to the ground, crashing into a sugar cane field and killing at least 19 foreign tourists Saturday’s crash happened at about 7:40 a.m. in a pasture near Lockhart, which is about 30 miles south of Austin. The land near the crash site is mostly farmland, with corn crops and grazing cattle. Cutting through that farmland is a row of massive high-capacity electrical transmission lines about 4 to 5 stories tall. The site of the crash appears to be right below the overhead lines, although authorities haven’t provided further details about what happened. Aerial photos showed an area of charred pasture near an electrical transmission tower.

Margaret Wylie, who lives about a quar-

ter-mile from the crash site, told The Associated Press that she was letting her dog out Saturday morning when she heard a “pop, pop, pop.”

“I looked around and it was like a fireball going up,” she said, noting that the fireball was under large power lines and almost high enough to reach the bottom of them.

Wylie, who called 911, said the weather seemed clear and that she frequently sees hotair balloons in the area.

Erik Grosof with the National Transportation Safety Board said at a news conference that the agency has deemed it a major accident and a full-bore investigation would begin Sunday when more federal officials arrive. “This will be a difficult site for us to work through,” Grosof said.

The balloon was operated by Heart of Texas Hot Air Balloon Rides, said two officials familiar with the investigation. The officials spoke on the condition that they not be named because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.

Heart of Texas’ website said it offers rides in the San Antonio, Houston and Austin areas.

The operation does not appear to be registered with the state of Texas.

Authorities have not released the names of those who were on board.

Warning about potential high-fatality accidents, safety investigators recommended two years ago that the Federal Aviation Administration impose greater oversight on commercial hot- air balloon operators, government documents show. The FAA rejected those recommendations.

Trump attacks Muslim dad’s convention speech

By LISA LERER and JONATHAN LEMIRE

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump holds baby cousins Evelyn Kate Keane, 6 months, and Kellen Campbell, 3 months, after his speech Friday in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The Associated Press

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – With 100 days left before the fall election, Hillary Clinton’s campaign bus wound its way through Donald Trump’s America as the Republican nominee picked a new fight with the bereaved father of a Muslim Army captain.

In a well-received Democratic convention speech, Muslim lawyer Khizr Khan said Trump has “sacrificed nothing and no one” for his country. Trump disputed that Saturday, saying he’d given up a lot for his businesses.

“I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures,” he said, in an interview with ABC’s “This Week.”

He added: “Sure, those are sacrifices.”

Khan gave a moving tribute to their son, Humayun, who posthumously received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart after he was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq in 2004.

Trump also reiterated his criticism of Khan’s wife, Ghazala, who stood silently on stage, wearing a headscarf.

“If you look at his wife, she was stand-

ing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”

Ghazala Khan has said she didn’t speak because she’s still overwhelmed by her grief and can’t even look at photos of her son without crying. Trump’s comments sparked immediate outrage on social media, both for attacking a mourning mother and because many considered them racist and anti-Muslim.

In a statement, Clinton said she was “very moved” by Ghazala Khan’s ap-

pearance.

“This is a time for all Americans to stand with the Khans and with all the families whose children have died in service to our country,” she said. “Captain Khan and his family represent the best of America, and we salute them.”

Trump’s comments about Khan come a day after, while campaigning in Colorado, he attacked retired fourstar general John Allen while holding a rally in front of military aircraft, and slammed a Colorado Springs fire marshal for capping attendance at his

event. The fire marshal, Brett Lacey, was honored recently by the city as “Civilian of the Year” for his role in helping the wounded at a 2015 mass shooting at a local Planned Parenthood.

“Our commander-in-chief shouldn’t insult and deride our generals, retired or otherwise,” Clinton told a crowd gathered on the factory floor. “That should really go without saying.”

She said Americans are living in a time of “really hot politics.”

“People say all kinds of things.

Hateful things. Insulting things,” she said. “And sometimes because of all the static going back and forth, we lose track of where we are.”

Post-convention, it has become clear the presidential race will be fought in the struggling manufacturing towns, cities and rural farming communities of the Rust Belt, as Clinton used the days after her convention to try and win back some of the white working-class voters who once made up a key piece of the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition. Trump’s anti-immigrant, anti-diversity, anti-trade message has appealed to those voters, who feel frustrated with an economic recovery that’s largely left them behind.

Koch’s network not planning to back, oppose Trump

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Billionaire industrialist and conservative benefactor Charles Koch’s expansive political network will not help Donald Trump win the presidency.

That’s the message from one of the Koch network’s chief lieutenants as hundreds of the nation’s most powerful Republican donors gathered for a weekend retreat three months before Election Day. The ambitious network has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to influence politics and public policy over the last decade. It won’t spend anything to help the Republican presidential nominee directly in 2016, even though it may evoke Hillary Clinton in attacks of Democratic congressional candidates, said Mark Holden, general counsel and senior vice president of Koch Industries.

None of the presidential candidates is aligned with the Koch network “from a values, and beliefs and policy perspective,” Holden said, citing other determining factors such as “running a good campaign” and talking about key issues “in a positive, productive way.”

AP file photo

Charles Koch speaks in 2012 in his office at Koch Industries in Wichita, Kansas.

“Based on that, we’re focused on the Senate,” Holden said, noting that the Koch network has devoted around $42 million so far to TV and digital advertising to benefit Republican Senate candidates.

The comments came Saturday, the first day in the three-day exclusive gathering at the foot of the Rocky Mountains for donors who promise to give at least $100,000 each year to the various groups backed by the Koch brothers’ Freedom Partners – a network of education, policy and political entities that aim to promote a smaller, less intrusive government.

At least three governors, four senators and four members of the House of Representatives also were scheduled to attend, including House Speaker Paul Ryan. Republican presidential candidates have been featured at past Koch gatherings – but not this one.

Neither Trump nor any Trump representatives participated in the event, even though the White House contender campaigned in the same city the day before. It’s unclear whether Trump was invited.

“I turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch,” Trump tweeted on Saturday. “Much better for them to meet with the puppets of politics, they will do much better!”

Holden declined to say whether the Kochs sought a meeting with Trump.

The weekend’s agenda for the estimated 400 donors gathered at a luxury hotel in Colorado Springs featured a series of policy discussions and appearances from several elected officials in addition to Ryan: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, Utah Sen. Mike Lee, Rep. Mike Pompeo of Kansas. Rep Jason Chaffetz of Utah and Rep. Mike Coffman of Col-

orado.

Donors are also scheduled to hear from Charles Koch, the 80-year-old chairman and chief executive officer of the privately held Koch Industries.

Charles and David Koch have hosted such gatherings of donors and politicians for years, but almost always in private. The weekend’s event includes a small number of reporters, including The Associated Press.

Koch has put the network’s budget at roughly $750 million through the end of 2016.

A significant portion was supposed to be directed at electing a Republican to the White House. It will instead go to helping Republican Senate candidates in at least five states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin and Florida, Holden said.

In some cases, the network may try to link Democratic Senate candidates to Clinton, he added, but there are no plans to go after her exclusively in paid advertising. The organization may invest in a handful of races for governor and House of Representatives as well.

And while the network will not be a Trump ally, it won’t necessarily be a Trump adversary either.

“We have no intention to go after Donald Trump,” Holden said.

French soldiers patrol Saturday near the Biarritz’s beach in southwestern France.

Embassy in London wounded about 20 people and a devastating attack on a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, killed 85 people.

The attacks in France and two of the four in Germany were claimed by the Islamic State group, thousands of miles away in strongholds in Syria and Iraq.

Their preferred targets are symbols of what they label the “crusader” West in Europe; but with so many to choose from, no one can predict where terror might strike anew. A police couple was killed in June in their home west of Paris, in an attack also claimed by IS. France has been muscling up its

security forces since two waves of ISclaimed attacks in 2015 that left 147 dead – and after two March attacks in Belgium that killed 32. President Francois Hollande has ordered 10,000 soldiers who have been patrolling since last year to stay in the streets, has called up reserves to bolster police and borders, and plans to use some to create a National Guard.

But the challenge of protecting churches, synagogues, tourist haunts, beaches, summer festival sites, airports and train stations is among the most daunting tasks security forces have faced in recent times in Europe.

PARIS – You can’t put a guard in every church and patrol every beach.

But after a wave of attacks in Western Europe, authorities are struggling to protect their people as best they can.

The French Riviera city of Cannes has banned large backpacks on beaches lest they hide explosives, and Britain is providing extra funding for security at tens of thousands of places of worship.

The grisly slaying last week of an elderly priest celebrating Mass in a Normandy church – less than two weeks after 84 revelers were mowed down by a truck on a beachfront promenade in Nice – sounded the alarm that nothing is sacred and no place is safe. Four attacks in a week in Germany sealed that conviction.

“Churches take great pride in being open. But there comes a time when the reality of crime and the reality of terrorism may mean that some of that balance needs to be readjusted,” said Mark Gardner, spokesman for Community Security Trust, which provides extensive protection to Jewish synagogues and schools throughout Britain.

The Trust started operating in 1994 after a car bomb attack on the Israeli

The city of Nice, citing the terror threat, canceled a memorial march set for Sunday to honor victims of the attack on the famed Promenade des Anglais.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve visited security forces sent in Friday at the start of a famed two-week jazz festival in the village of Marciac in the Gers, an annual treat for hundreds of thousands of jazz lovers – but a high-risk event for police.

Cazeneuve reiterated what the French hear daily – “There are no miracle solutions” – but insisted on the need for the “physical presence” of police at summer festivals around France.

Some towns are pitching in as they can, or inventing new rules to ward off threats.

The Riviera city of Cannes, 20 miles from Nice, has banned big bags on beaches until at least the end of October, bags that Mayor David Lisnard said “could contain explosives or weapons.”

More controversially, the mayor of Rive-de-Gier, a small town near Lyon, decided this week to “systematically refuse” new applications by residents to bring their families to live with them, a process most often used by immigrants with loved ones in another country.

Europe grappling with security after attacks

• CRAFT BEER

Dan Camp, a brewer and founder of Metal Monkey Brewing, measures a container of hop pellets Monday at the brewery in Romeoville.

Continued from page 3 But he and his wife, Maggie Schutz, are working to make their dream a reality at 632 S. Weber Road.

The thing about the craft beer industry, Eric said, is there’s such a variety of beer choices. That’s where Iron & Glass comes in, to fill a niche that hasn’t yet been filled in the area. The business’s tap room will feature local and Midwestern beers, and as many hard-to-find beers as Eric can get his hands on.

Iron & Glass will close at 9 p.m. weekdays and maybe 10 p.m. weekends, Eric said. The goal isn’t to have people run up a tab and get rowdy.

Rather, Iron & Glass wants people to sample an array of beers, then take home a six-pack, or more, of what they like. It will feature some wine, too, and craft soda.

“There won’t be loud music,” Eric said. “It will be more like a coffee house environment.”

Eric said he’s aiming to cater to a family demographic of 21-to-40-yearold parents with a couple of kids. He and his business partners have found through their research that “everyone drinks craft beer these days.”

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder

With new craft breweries sprouting up, the challenge of making a distinc-

tive product grows. And different people prefer a variety of beers, so having a well-rounded menu is paramount.

“We sell some beers that appeal to more than just the average beer drinker,” Camp said. “We try to appeal to a wine drinker and we try to appeal to someone who doesn’t like beer.”

Metal Monkey’s most popular offering of about 15 total is the Fonkey Mucker, a dark and heavy Russian imperial stout made with chocolate and peanut butter. It’s also known for the Simian Fever, a pale wheat ale with hibiscus flowers for tartness and honey malt for sweetness.

Then there’s the Bikini Bottom

Pineapple Gose, based on a traditional sour German wheat beer.

“In every batch, we cut up 40 pineapples by hand and puree them,” Camp said. “Then, we add them in the last 15 minutes of the brew.”

Metal Monkey also has a variety of stouts, India pale ales and wheat ales.

Charting brewed territory

Metal Monkey has taken calculated steps to stand out, and they were a long time coming. Camp was a home brewer for more than 10 years. He felt the urge to start a brewing business when a friend asked him to make beer for a wedding and when people started

One big happy, crafty family

But no matter what route a craft beer business goes, it’s part of an all-inclusive community. Eric agreed with Camp in saying it’s still an “us vs. them” scenario as craft businesses work to compete with “big beer,” gaining a larger market share year by year.

Eric hopes to sell Metal Monkey and other local brews at Iron & Glass, and Metal Monkey has planned collaborations with other breweries.

They’re not fighting over customers.

Together, they all grow, like hops on a vine.

“We’re not going head-to-head with other breweries,” Camp said. “We get business from the others, and vice versa. We all tell customers to check out other breweries.”

requesting six-packs, but his former job took up too much time.

Finally, he and co-owner Brett Smith talked it over and decided to give it a shot. While preparing a business plan, Metal Monkey poured beer in the “home brewing” section of as many festivals as possible.

Like many new businesses, things don’t always run smoothly. But the truth is, Camp said, Metal Monkey wasn’t expecting so much success just six months in. As a result, a good portion of their adjustments have been made to meet high demand for the beer, rather than to convince people to drink it.

Dear Mr. Berko: I teach school and earn $44,000 a year. Florida’s retirement program is lousy. Fortunately, my husband, a long-haul trucker, unexpectedly inherited $287,000 from his daddy. We need advice on investing this. We also have $52,000 in certificates of deposit, which we want to keep liquid. We are both 43, have two children and have no debts. My husband built our home, and we only have a $12,000 mortgage.

We will be conservative with this money. What are your recommendations? Also, can we buy Uber stock?

It’s not public, but someone told us we could buy small amounts. A friend at Microsoft told me his company invested $100 million in Uber, and one of his colleagues bought $25,000 of Uber.

We’d like to invest about $5,000 of our money in Uber. If that’s possible, would it be a good investment? – SS, Port Charlotte, Florida Dear SS: I think Uber is a lousy,

stinky investment! Speculators are rushing to buy Uber, frantic they’ll miss a Golconda. Uber is having such a gay time raising private money from suckers and gamblers that there’s no reason to go public. Uber is easily getting all the cash it wants. Merrill Lynch is offering shares of Uber to clients who have a $100 million net

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko worth, but they must invest a minimum of $1 million in Uber. Morgan Stanley is offering Uber to wealthy clients who are willing to make an investment of at least $250,000. And Elite Crowdfunder is offering minimum $25,000 investments in Uber at $38 per share.

Forgetaboutit. Uber has no economic moat, so the competition will eventually be scorching. Uber isn’t profitable and burns through cash the way a SpaceX launch burns fuel.

I’m told Uber’s income statement and balance sheet have more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. And if there’s an initial public offering, pre-IPO investors will dump Uber like live grenades and you’ll end up with fragments.

It’s unpatriotic to have no debts; you’re not spending enough money.

Some 70 percent of our gross domestic product is driven by consumer spending, and financially stable families such as yours are failing the economy.

You must spend money and go into debt. You should, like most Ameri-

cans, stop being responsible for your retirement future. Folks such as you – those who refuse to borrow, spend and buy – are the reason the economy is sluggish.

There are three investment options I’ll recommend. Employ a money manager whom you can trust to help you build a suitable retirement portfolio. The costs should not exceed 1.25 percent annually.

Failing that option, consider Warren Buffett’s advice for the trustees who will manage his wife’s account after he dies: “I want to be sure she gets a decent result. She doesn’t need to get a sensational result. ... I’ve told the trustee to put 90 percent of it in an S&P 500 index fund and 10 percent in short-term governments.”

Failing that option, I’ll recommend the following stocks, which you can keep for the rest of your life.

• AT&T (T-$40.60), yielding 4.7 percent, has increased its dividend for 32 consecutive years. This is a modest growth and income stock that needs no introduction. I have, since 2009, advised many readers to use T as a proxy for a bond. I still do.

• Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-$116) is a very impressive health products company that has increased its dividend by more than 8.5 percent

annually for 35 consecutive years.

• Procter & Gamble (PG-$82) has 58 years of consecutive dividend increases, averaging over 7.3 percent.

• Alphabet (GOOG-$693) needs no introduction. GOOG doesn’t pay dividends yet, but its revenue and earnings potential are nonpareil.

• Visa (V-$77) needs no introduction either; almost everyone has a Visa. In the past 10 years, Visa has tripled revenues and earnings and share price. It could happen again!

• American Water (AWK-$74) is the largest investor-owned water utility in the U.S., yielding 1.8 percent. Revenue, earnings and dividend growth are impressive, and future acquisitions should propel AWK to a record level each year.

Then add General Electric (GE$30), Pfizer (PFE-$34), Air Products (APD-$143), Sysco (SYY-$50) and Cisco Systems (CSCO-$28).

Those issues are a swell beginning.

I urge you to find a money manager who can complement and complete this portfolio with other solid dividend growth issues.

• Please address your financial questions to Malcolm Berko, P.O. Box 8303, Largo, FL 33775, or email him at mjberko@yahoo.com.

BUSINESS BRIEFS USF placed in top 20 Private Masters Institutions

JOLIET – In its 2016 Student Success Ratings, national research firm Eduventures named the University of St. Francis among the top 20 National Private Masters institutions in the U.S. Eduventures is an independent research firm dedicated to the coverage and service of learning markets, according to a news release from USF. The company analyzed more than 1,100 institutions based in the United States and compared a predicted retention rate based on academics, affordability and social factors with reported retention rates. The findings were categorized into research/ doctoral, masters, and baccalaureate in both public and private sectors.

Additional information and the full listing of each category can be found at www.eduventures.com.

“This ranking by a highly respected national, independent, higher education research firm carries a lot of weight,” Chuck Beutel, vice president for admis-

sion and enrollment services, said in the news release. “It recognizes the high caliber students that choose St. Francis, it also recognizes how satisfied students are in choosing the university and the successful outcomes our students enjoy through graduation,” In addition to this honor and for the fifth year in a row, USF has been honored as a 2016-17 Catholic College of Distinction by collegesofdistinction.com. Colleges of Distinction are honored for providing an innovative, engaging experience to students that prepares them for successful careers, active citizenship and lifelong learning.

Brown & Brown Insurance agent honored for volunteer work

JOLIET – Brigid Jett, a personal lines manager who works for Joliet-based Brown & Brown Insurance, was honored recently by AARP Services Inc’s ACES community service program for providing more than 50 hours of volunteer service.

Jett and her daughters have volunteered

weekly for the last four years at Illinois Valley Public Action to Delivery Shelter (PADS) in Ottawa, according to a news release from AARP. Jett and her daughters prepare, serve and do the cleanup for the evening meal, hand out towels as needed for showers, and do any other duties that are needed that evening.

“I’m honored to be recognized by AARP Services Inc. for helping out in the community,” Jett said in the news release. “I look forward to continuing to be an ACES volunteer; it’s such a rewarding experience.”

ACES tracks the volunteer service hours of people who are authorized to offer AARP-branded products and engage and serve the community.

ExxonMobil and employees give more than $1.5M to higher ed

ExxonMobil and its employees contributed more than $1.5 million to higher education institutions across Illinois as part of the ExxonMobil Foundation’s 2015 Educational Matching Gift Program.

In 2015, ExxonMobil employees, retirees, directors and surviving spouses contributed $590,000 to 34 Illinois colleges and universities, which was matched with $1 million in unrestricted grants from the ExxonMobil Foundation, according to a news release from the company. Although grants are unrestricted, colleges and universities are encouraged to designate a portion to math and science programs supporting student engagement.

The program matches donor pledges on a 3:1 ratio up to $7,500 to qualified colleges and universities in the United States, along with the American Indian College Fund, Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the United Negro College Fund. Since the Educational Matching Gift Program began in 1962, more than $600 million has been contributed to American institutions of higher learning, according to the news release.

Nationwide, more than 850 institutions received $45.4 million through the 2015 Educational Matching Gift Program.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

High school PARCC exam won’t be missed Students being giddy about not having to take a test?

We fully understand the feeling.

Educators being giddy about not having to administer a test?

That’s a fairly new one for us.

But that was the general feeling among many school administrators in the state upon hearing the news earlier this month that the Illinois State Board of Education had dropped the unpopular PARCC exam for high schoolers.

PARCC, which stands for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, was described as a “nightmare to administer” that had no bearing on college entrance.

High schoolers therefore were less likely to take the testing process seriously, and it showed. The first round of PARCC test results, released in December an astounding half year after the exams were administered, showed that only one-third of students statewide met or exceeded expectations, while two-thirds didn’t.

Ouch!

Many area school districts scored below the state average, and educators decried the exam as having minimal value for high school students.

Grade-schoolers will still take the PARCC, but high schoolers will now take the SAT exam, as decreed by the State Board of Education.

The SAT exam has been around for a long time.

Students will be able to send their scores to college admissions offices, so they will be much more motivated to do their best.

That’s good.

We still believe the goal of the PARCC exam – to satisfactorily assess career and college preparedness – is laudable.

We wrote in a December editorial, “If PARCC doesn’t exactly hit the mark, educators, parents and students shouldn’t discount what it is trying to do – help produce students who are better prepared for their futures.”

However, the test’s inaugural year – especially the 191-day gap before scores were available – left much to be desired.

We’re reminded of the story about the stressed-out baseball manager who, tired of his inept team’s losing ways, was asked what he thought about his team’s execution. “I’m in favor of it,” he replied.

Illinois educators, frustrated with PARCC, applaud its “execution” – the high school version, at least – and look forward to better results through the SAT. We hope they’re right.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR If Hillary is president ...

To the Editor: FBI Director James Comey’s statements about Hillary’s use of a private email server scares the heck out of me. Comey and others established that she lied throughout this investigation, did receive and send classified info on her server, and said it was possible her account could have been hacked by hostile governments. All of her offenses were laid out in Comey’s 15-minute statement and expanded on by him in front of Congress the next day, but he refused to recommend prosecution.

Why? My guess: Attorney General Lynch probably told him that she would not prosecute even if it was recommended and if he, Comey, didn’t fall on his sword with a negative recommendation, he would be messing with a national election and his reputation would be so severely damaged by the press that he would have to be removed.

He decided to not recommend prosecution but he at least laid out all the damning details.

What really bothers me is even

the possibility that so many bad players may have blackmail material on a woman who could be our next president. Hostile governments and terrorists groups would be able to trade in using the info as to Hillary’s dealings with the Clinton Foundation, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, and so much more we don’t even know about.

The aides and attorneys without security clearances who deleted and scrubbed 30,000 emails off her server – what if some of them kept copies of the “good ones” that they can use for leverage against a president Clinton? She has so many things to hide that I’m guessing my taxes would have to skyrocket under her administration to keep her huge pile of stink from ever melting the ozone.

Black Lives Matter, concept vs. organization

To the Editor: There are two versions of Black Lives Matter. Most people agree with the concept that blacks

should be treated with equal dignity, including by law enforcement. They aren’t saying only black lives matter, but rather there is still some discrimination needing correcting. It is a peaceful movement like that of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. African-American Rev. Dr. Eric Wallace wrote a Dec. 28 article titled “Exposing Black Lives Matter,” the organization, posted on the Illinois Family Institute website. He said: “While the Civil Rights Movement was led by ministers, many of whom held a biblical worldview and infused their protests with prayer, the black liberation movement was associated with the Black Panthers, Angela Davis, and Marxist ideology.” He said the BLM website identifies itself with the black liberation movement.

BLM members in Minnesota once chanted “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon.”

The liberal media and BLM hyped a few examples of a white police officer shooting an unarmed black

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus inated by politicos from America’s Second City, has all the makings of an excellent Third World country: Violence. We have plenty. There’s an active war zone just 35 miles up the road from here. In sheer numbers, Chicago has the highest violent crime rate in America.

Debt. We have that, too. Illinois faces a $9 billion annual deficit and $159 billion in IOUs. The state’s unfunded pension shortfall now stands at $111 billion. Our credit rating is basically junk status.

Poverty. Ditto. About 15 percent of Illinois residents live at or below the national poverty rate. Those are 2013 figures, so its probably gone up since then. Just 34 miles east of here lies Ford Heights, one of the poorest cities in the U.S. Dictator for life. Illinois has one of those, too. The same Irishman has been running the show since 1983.

That’s a reign three times longer than Benito Mussolini, 12 years longer than

Ferdinand Marcos and only five years short of the current record-holder, the Shah of Iran.

These are all tough problems, apparently far beyond the scope of a Rauner, a Madigan, an Emanuel, or even an Obama to solve.

So it’s time to turn to the international community for help.

Now hear me out.

Once it secedes from the union and becomes a Third World entity, Illinois will have to re-brand itself. I always thought Madiganistan had a nice ring to it.

Then it’s time to foist off all our problems on the rest of the world.

Chicago street violence would probably be small potatoes for a United Nations peacekeeping force. Martial law and a few hundred Belgians in armored personnel carriers could clear up the worst of the Chicago gang violence overnight.

Our burgeoning debt crisis could be easily solved by a loan from the International Monetary Fund. Three hundred billion is a drop in the bucket to those guys. And, if Greece is any indication, you apparently don’t have to pay back the money.

And our poverty issues could be

easily solved by applying for a small chunk of the billions the U.S. spends on foreign aid each year.

Resolving the dictatorship issue, however, might be a little dicey. The likelihood of Illinois – er, Madiganistan – achieving any political parity in the upcoming election is dicey at best.

Hmmm, how to facilitate a regime change in a foreign country? It seems to me Washington has had some experience with that sort of thing. Perhaps a few well-placed rumors of Weapons of Mass Destruction would prompt a U.S. invasion.

Now this sounds like a bad thing, but in the long run it’s not. Because once the smoke clears, U.S. taxpayers will shell out billions to rebuild our cities, roads and schools. When it’s all said and done, we’ll have a shiny, new state ready to rejoin the union.

Sound like a stupid idea? Well, at least it’s a plan. Which is more than what’s coming out of Springfield these days.

Britain recently Brexited the European Union.

I think it’s high time for Illinois to get the Illinout of the United States.

Consider the similarities: Britons were sick and tired of incompetent governance foisted on them by the bean counters in Brussels.

Illinoisans have the same problem with Springfield, although most of our bean counters apparently are unable to count. Or even pass a budget, for that matter.

Many Britons felt threatened by the wave of immigrants breaking on their border. Sound familiar? Illinois has the sixth largest population of illegal immigrants in the U.S. Most believed Britain was putting way more into the EU then they were getting out of it. Yeah, been there, done that. For every tax dollar that Illinois sends to Washington, we get only 75 cents back. Again, sixth worst in the nation. And that’s with an Illinoisan in the White House.

People got fed up. So Britain Brexited.

And that’s why Illinois should do the same, though for different reasons. Because our state, now the most debt-ridden in the union and dom-

FRONTIER LEAGUE: SLAMMERS 2, RASCALS 1 (FRIDAY)

By CURT HERRON

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Joliet Slammers’ second baseman Carter Bell fields a ground ball for an out at first base Friday against the River City Rascals at Silver Cross Field. winning and losing streaks certainly drive that point home in a very convincing fashion for manager Jeff Isom’s staff.

During the Slammers’ win streak through Friday, their starters went 3-0 and four of the five went at least six in-

nings. Spencer Medick, Liam O’Sullivan and Shane Bryant got wins while Sean Townsley’s Friday effort was one of the best of the bunch, but he got no decision.

FRONTIER LEAGUE: SLAMMERS 5, RASCALS 4 (SATURDAY)

Bullpen comes through as Slammers nip Rascals

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – There haven’t been many times this season when the Joliet Slammers have had to rely on their bullpen to preserve a lead as early as the fifth inning, but Saturday’s Frontier League contest with River City was one of those cases.

And while it’s safe to say that there were some moments of drama along the way, the bullpen managed to come through and helped the Slammers improve to 5-0 on the home stand and win their sixth in a row after holding on for a 5-4 win over the Rascals.

Marc Rutledge, Kevin McNorton, Tyler Levine and Kevin Simmons combined to allow just one run on four hits in 42⁄3 innings to help Joliet grab a four game lead over Washington for firstplace in the East Division standings.

“It was a case where we got ourselves into some jams and we got ourselves out of them with the bullpen, and that’s good to have,” Slammers manager Jeff

Isom said. “We’ve seen the bullpen improve tremendously over the last couple of weeks.

“That’s a credit to (coach) Chris Mongiardo and the work that he’s putting in. He’s got a good feel for those guys since he’s been with them long enough and is catching in the bullpen. He sees what these guys have and he’s been helpful to me with letting me know which guys have the good stuff and which guys are ready to go.”

The Slammers (36-28) got off to a good start by scoring twice in their first trip to the plate. Charlie White led off with a walk, stole second and came home on a single to center by Jake Gronsky. After Carter Bell (3 for 5) doubled to center to put both runners in scoring position, Marc Flores drove in a run on an infield out.

Joliet added three runs in the third to grab a 5-0 lead. Bell started things with an infield hit and Flores walked and both advanced on a sacrifice by Melvin Rodriguez. After Sikes Orvis walked to load the bases, Casey Fletcher singled to right

to score two runs and then newcomer Zarley Zalewski made it a 5-0 game after hitting a sacrifice fly to right.

Slammers starter Shane Bryant only allowed two hits through the first four innings but ran into trouble in the fifth after allowing two more hits and three walks. Robby Enslen (2 for 3) singled in one run and Johnny Morales walked with the bases loaded to make it 5-2 when Bryant exited with one out.

Rutledge yielded a sacrifice fly to Josh Silver for the third run.

Winning pitcher Rutledge went 22⁄3 innings and allowed one hit before being relieved by McNorton in the eighth.

McNorton was on the injured list and last saw action on June 23.

“We’ve been playing some good ball and the starting pitching is getting us deep into games and that’s been helping us out and taken a lot of pressure off of us in the bullpen,” Rutledge said. “I’m glad that coach Isom had the courage to put me out there.

“I went out there and threw strikes for the starting pitcher and I continued

to do my job in the sixth and seventh to give us our best chance to win a ball game. As long as our starters give us five or six innings, I feel like we have a bunch of good guys who can throw strikes and get the job done. Having Kevin back in the pen is a huge plus since we all know what he can do.”

The Rascals (30-34) collected another run after getting a single and a hit batter to start the frame. A passed ball made it 5-4 and after McNorton recorded the second out, he was relieved by Levine, who got out of the jam without allowing any more scoring.

River City starter Tim Koons only lasted three innings but reliever Reese Gregory kept things at bay by only allowing two hits in four innings. He left after walking Fletcher to open the eighth, but after Nick Kennedy allowed a hit to Zalewski, he got out of the mess.

The Rascals threatened again in the ninth after getting the first two on against Simmons. But he got a strikeout and then coaxed two infield grounders to record the save.

JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers haven’t advanced to the Frontier League playoffs since they won the league championship in 2011.

On Friday, the Slammers planned to honor that squad, and members of this year’s team seem determined to put themselves in a position to make another title run.

They entered the middle contest of the River City series with a 31⁄2 game lead for first place in the East Division over both Washington and Windy City, thanks to a five-game winning streak.

However, the race tightened recently after Joliet had a five-game losing drought.

Beside shaking up the standings in the division, those two spurts clearly demonstrated what figures to be the biggest key going forward for the Slammers this season.

Joliet possesses one of the Frontier League’s best offenses. So as long as it receives quality starts from its pitchers, it can win on almost any night. Meanwhile, poor outings by starters have resulted in excess pressure on a bullpen that has struggled this season.

The numbers from the most-recent

in seven innings. After Sikes Orvis homered in the seventh to give Joliet a 1-0 lead, Townsley stood to get the win, but the Rascals tied things in the ninth before Orvis’s RBI single in the ninth ended it.

With Chris Rice’s spot start included in those performances, Joliet’s starters combined to pitch 31 innings while allowing 21 hits and seven earned run for a nifty 2.03 ERA. On the other hand, during their run of five-straight defeats from July 17 to 23 against both Florence and Southern Illinois, the Slammers starters had an 0-4 record and went only 191⁄3 innings while yielding 36 hits and 26 earned runs, which resulted in a 12.10 ERA. “Since the All-Star break, we had a little bit of a rough start,” Townsley said. “But we’ve picked it up as a team and had some big wins in the past couple of days. Our team morale has been real good and guys are playing well behind us and that’s all that we can ask for.

“We’ve been feeling real good and our chemistry is at a high and the biggest thing when it comes to winning baseball games. We’re a championship-caliber team, so all it’s going to come down to is

32 JOLIET PARK DISTRICT CITY SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT: COMPETITIVE

Skooter’s rallies late to grab Competitive crown

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – The division name said what the championship round of the Joliet Park District City Softball Tournament was Thursday night.

Competitive.

Skooter’s Roadhouse used a big rally in the “if” game to win the Men’s Competitive Division, 18-10, over Pipefitters Local 597 at the Inwood Complex.

Local 597, with one loss, had to beat Skooter’s twice. It looked bleak early in the first game and looked good early in the second game.

In a back-and-forth, low-scoring first game, Local 597 took a 1-0 lead only to have Skooter’s come right back with two in the bottom of the first, powered by a leadoff home run

by Brandon Mendoza, to go up, 2-1.

Skooter’s had former teammates and coaches on the roster from the University of St. Francis. Mendoza and Rick Faron are recent alums and current player Nick Fleischauer is joined by

current assistant coach Ben Hewett.

Hewett is a former Joliet Slammers’ catcher and was on the championship team in 2011.

With Skooter’s leading, 5-2, heading to the sixth, Local 597 used a walk, three consecutive hits and a sacrifice fly to take a 6-5 lead. Local 597 pitcher Josh Munn and the defense, with double plays in the final two innings, shut down the Skooters and won, 8-5, forcing the winner-takeall game.

“It didn’t surprise me that this went to the final game,” Skooter’s manager Vinnie Hughes said. “We played each other in the very first game of the tournament. It was back and forth. They rallied to take the lead in the final inning, then we won with a walkoff in the bottom of the seventh.”

With the intensity from both teams already high, it was magnified as the final game began and a couple of close, controversial calls only intensified the atmosphere.

Local 597 used the momentum from the first-game victory to go up, 7-1, after two innings as it scored five in the bottom of the second, collecting six hits. Nate Dobrez had a two-run triple to cap the inning.

Skooter’s scored a run in the third on a leadoff triple by Eric Worness and a sacrifice fly by Mendoza to cut the Local 597 lead to 7-2.

“After they jumped out on us, we just had to try and chip away at the lead,” Hughes said. “We had plenty of innings left, but we also had to prevent them from scoring. We have the bats to have big innings, and I think we were just pressing a little too much early.”

Those bats came alive in the top of the fourth as Skooter’s put six on the board, thanks to seven hits, one a tworun homer by Faron.

Faron, the big first baseman who just completed his collegiate baseball career at USF, legged out a triple in the second inning and was a double away from the cycle for the game.

“The fourth inning was big for us,” Faron said. “It changed the momentum and we got our confidence back.

They just kept coming at us and we needed to respond.”

Local 597 responded with two runs in the bottom of the fourth to retake the lead, 9-8.

After a scoreless fifth inning, Skooter’s took an 11-9 lead as Chad Schwartz and Nick Avery reached on errors before Fleischauer drove them in with a double.

Those Skooter’s bats came up big again in the top of the seventh as they collected seven hits and scored seven runs to seal the championship.

“We were third last year and our team has really only been together for three seasons,” Hughes said. “This is big for us and we could not have done it without the support of our sponsor, Skooter’s Roadhouse. They have been awesome all year. We were desperate to find a sponsor and they came in late. They have come through for us all season.”

• SLAMMERS

Continued from page 31 just believing in ourselves.”

In Thursday’s contest with Evansville, Medick improved to 6-2 and picked up his first victory since June 30 when he allowed just one earned run on four hits in six innings. The Slammers claimed a 5-2 win which completed a series sweep over the Otters.

That win came on the heels of Wednesday’s 9-5 matinee victory during which O’Sullivan moved to 7-0 after allowing two earned runs and five hits while fanning 10 in seven innings.

“All that it comes down to is feeding off of each others’ energy,” Medick said.

“Liam has been our guy all year and seeing him do his thing and throw seven or eight innings every time and battle with whatever he’s got, that kind of energy feeds into the rest of the starting rotation.

“Is (Jeff Isom) has told us all year that he doesn’t need us to go complete games, we just need to get six or seven innings and then turn it over to the bullpen and we’ll win ball games since we have the offense to do it. If we can put up zeroes, we know that our bullpen can do it and that our offense will come through for us and give us plenty of run support.”

A big boost for the Slammers starters was the recent addition of Chris Mongiardo as Isom’s assistant coach.

The two worked together at Lake Erie and Mongiardo replaced Isom as manager there before being relieved of his

duties in late June.

“We’re only as good as our starting pitchers,” Isom said. “We’re experience-heavy on the offensive side but have a lot of young arms on the pitching staff so we knew that it would be

interesting. We’ve had some good runs where we’ve won a lot of games in a row and it’s because of the starting pitching.

“We’re still trying to figure out the pitching staff and what works best.

Chris did an awesome job with his

pitchers the last three years at Lake Erie and helped me out a ton when I was there. He came over here and is helping me change the way we’re doing things with the pitchers and it seems to be working.”

Quack Pack sweeps Fore! to claim Rec D title

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – After eliminating It’s Us in its first game Thursday night, Quack Pack, sponsored by I-55 Auto and Bedrocks, went about the business of winning the Men’s Recreational D Division of the Joliet Park District City Softball Tournament.

The quest did not reach miracle proportions, but standout left fielder Nick Traina said something special was at work.

“This team has kind of a niche,” he said. “It’s awesome. I’ve played all the sports and I’ve never seen camaraderie quite like this team has. We don’t quit. You can never count us out.”

That thought was front and center in the semifinal round of the double-elimination tournament. The Crowd, which certainly would have been a worthy finalist, led Quack Pack, 11-6, entering the bottom of the seventh inning. It wasn’t enough as Quack Pack rallied for six runs and a walkoff victory.

All Quack Pack had to do next was double-dip Fore!, which had beaten Quack Pack by the slaughter rule earlier in the tournament. Never-say-die Quack Pack scored eight times in the top of the seventh to survive, 24-20, and force a winnertake-all final, which Quack Pack won, 22-18, as the midnight hour neared.

“That win in the semifinals MARK BURBACH was huge, and then to beat that SERVICE DIRECTOR team (Fore!) twice, it was some night,” Quack Pack manager Todd Rodeghero said. “There were great ballplayers out here for both sides, and good sportsmanship. We had to win four games tonight starting at 6:45.

“We play Todd’s team a lot, and most of the time it’s a dog fight,” Fore! player/coach Chester Green said.

“Those were two of the best (most competitive) games we have had with them.

“We all knew they were good. To be honest, we were dumbfounded the other night when they were not hitting and we run-ruled them. We saw them earlier tonight and it looked like they were getting tired, but they didn’t play that way. They have a great outfield, and they hit the ball hard.”

In the first game of the finals, Jimmy Novak’s three-run homer and Anthony Burnetti’s two-run single keyed Quack Pack’s eight-run seventh inning. Brian Papp had four hits, including a homer and double, and four RBIs. Winning pitcher Scott Fierro chipped in four hits and four RBIs and Traina had three hits and three RBIs. Fore! scored 13 runs in its first twobats, including three-runs homers

by Mitch Schroeder and Mike Fox, to more than erase an early 8-0 deficit. Keegan Peschke closed with four hits, including two triples, and three RBIs and Connor Peschke contributed three hits and three RBIs. Jim Heichert also had three hits.

Quack Pack scored seven times in each of the first two innings of the final game and put it away with a fivespot in the sixth. Novak cracked five hits and drove in five runs, two on a sixth-inning home run. Papp belted a grand slam homer among four hits and drove in five. Burnetti and Ted DiMayo had four hits and Traina raced around the bases on a threerun, inside-the-park homer.

Dyllon Goyette had a triple and two doubles for Fore!. Connor Peschke and Ben Studer added three hits. Studer knocked in three runs.

“We had to fight for this, for sure,” Fierro said. “They hit everything. But with Nick (Traina), Brian (Papp) and Joey (Nalezny) in our outfield, they go and get it. That one catch Nick made, I never thought he would get there.

“We played against some tough pitchers all night, too, and our guys hit.”

“We gave up too many big innings,” Fore! player/coach Ryan Bromer said. “When we got down in the last game, we struggled to come back. It was tough after losing the first one the way we did.

“They came to play tonight.”

JOLIET – Traditions became the answer to a trivia question Thursday night as the rest of the Joliet Park District City Softball Tournament continued on into the night at the Inwood Complex.

Traditions beat Father Tom and the Altar Boys, 11-8, to complete an undefeated tournament run and claim the Recreational E Division championship. All of the other four divisions were decided in an “if” game, so Traditions is the only team from any of the five divisions to finish without losing a game in the double-elimination tournament.

“We beat them, 15-1, earlier in the week,” Traditions manager Kevin Paul noted. “This time, they gave us our best game in the tournament.

“This was our second year in the city tournament. We finished second last year. O’Charley’s beat us. We had to double-dip ’em and we didn’t.”

Traditions fell behind Father Tom and the Altar Boys early, 5-1, rallied to tie it at 5-5 and again at 8-8 before finishing off the title run.

Paul assumed the managing duties this year and said longtime manager Jerry Feeney served as the team’s “motivational guy.”

Among the players Feeney and Paul cited for having had excellent tournaments were Brandon and Mike Fiday, Ryan Koerner, Jim Manthey, Adam Feeney, pitcher Adam Smith, shortstop Joe Doti (who Paul said is in charge of player personnel) and right fielder Casey Papp.

“Brandon Fiday had a great game in the championship game, and right after it, he announced his retirement,” Paul said. “It was a goal of ours to get him his first title.

“Adam Feeney had an eight-RBI game in the tournament, and Joe Doti is a stud at shortstop.

Casey Papp had a great tournament, too.”

Feeney cited the position that used to belong to his longtime friend Jim Brumund, who passed away three years ago.

“Adam Smith walked three guys the whole tournament,” Feeney said. “And I can’t think of pitching in this tournament without thinking of Mr Brumund. He still inspires me.”

34 MIDWEST BASEBALL CLASSIC

Rivals become teammates in Midwest Baseball Classic

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – The Midwest Classic Baseball Tournament last week at Plainfield South had teams from six states – Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri and Maryland.

It gave the high school players on those state teams the opportunity to show off their talents in front of collegiate coaches and play against teams they had never seen before.

Not many teams had a player whose team won three consecutive state titles.

However, Team Illinois White’s roster included Michael Massaro from Providence Catholic.

“This is a big honor to be chosen to play and represent your state,” said Massaro, who will be a senior for the Celtics.

“We all get along, but it’s also a lot of fun because the guys we play against (during the high school season) and know, there has been some ribbing back and forth. But that’s OK, because right now I have the upper hand. But it is all in fun and that is what is so cool about this team. We are rivals in high school and you never know who may be your teammate at the next level.”

Massaro, who catches and plays the outfield, is realistic about the future as he enters his senior year.

“If I have the opportunity to play at the next level, that would be great,” he said. “But I will pick a school based on the education I will get. That education will pay the bills in the future. I want to play as long as I can. This is such a

“I play hockey for Providence and I love that sport, but baseball is what I would play in college. Next year we will be going for a four-peat. Sure it’s going to be tough, especially with all the seniors we lost. But we have a great competitive group coming back and we have our coaches.”

Just down the road, Lockport had two players on the White roster in catcher Ryne Travis and third baseman Gavin Lovesky.

“This means the world to be chosen to play in this showcase,” Travis said. “I’m playing with some of the best players in Illinois and I get to represent Lockport and coach (Andy) Satunas.

“You get to show your talents, make friends and gain valuable knowledge,

all of which will help in the future. I’m happy with my catching, just wish I could get a few more hits.”

Travis also plays linebacker on the Porters’ football team.

“Playing summer baseball and football is not as difficult as some think because the coaches get along and understand what we are doing,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to playing at the next level, hopefully at a rural college so I can play and go fishing.”

Lovesky was chosen for the team but did not play due to rehabbing an injury that occurred earlier in the summer.

“It’s an honor to be selected to be a part of the team,” he said. “It’s a testament to all the hard work over the years. I’m coming along fine from the injury and I’m excited about next year.”

BAY CITY, Michigan – Cody Kundrith struck out seven and allowed four hits in pitching Crest Hill past Eastern Illinois, 8-1, Saturday and into Sunday’s semifinal round at the Pony (ages 13-14) North Zone.

That came on the heels of Crest Hill’s 13-3 loss Friday night to Bay County, Michigan, and left manager Joe Marshall’s team 2-1 and second in its pool. The title game between the semifinal winners will be played later Sunday, with the survivor advancing to the Pony World Series at Washington, Pa. In a scoreless game in the top of the fourth inning, Aaron Darling beat out an infield roller, Dustin Lelak sacrificed and after a groundout, Darling scored on a balk.

In the fifth, Josh Cunniff walked, David Studer reached on an error, Kundrith bunted for a hit and Matt Toth delivered a two-run single.

After a forceout, Toth stole third and scored on Roman Esquivel’s squeeze for a 5-0 lead.

Ryan Highland hit a pinch-hit, RBI double and Toth singled home two more runs in the sixth.

In the loss to Bay County, Michigan, on Friday, Crest Hill made eight errors and managed three hits. Studer and Eli Esquivel had doubles in a three-run fourth inning, and Darling chipped in a bunt single.

JOLIET PARK DISTRICT CITY SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT: MIXED

Mixed Division champion goes Full Tilt vs. Landmark

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – Winning four games in one evening is tough in anything.

That is exactly what Creative Design/Full Tilt did Thursday night in claiming the Mixed Division title during the Joliet Park District City Softball Tournament at the Inwood Complex.

The name on the front of the jersey is exactly what the champions did all evening – go full tilt.

With a loss in the books in the double-elimination tournament, Full Tilt

met unbeaten Landmark Landscaping in the championship round and forced a final game with a dramatic 14-5 victory in eight innings.

“You get that spark and the momentum just carried us all night,” Full Tilt manager/first baseman Chris Simmons said.

Full Tilt won the finale, 17-8, on the power of three home runs by Michael Phad.

“Michael had a wonderful tournament, along with Jeff Ruble and Karen Bode,” Simmons said. “Jim Phad had a fantastic summer for us and with the other three Phad family members

a part of this team, I told them early in the season we were going to have a Phad-tastic summer.

“This team has been like a family all season long, so fun. Our key was to get the girls on base and let the guys bring them in. We beat a very good team and it’s pretty ironic that so many of their players were on my teams in the past.

It was like my A and B squads playing each other. We have such a great rivalry with them and I can’t say enough about Landmark manager Terry Feeney.”

Feeney, a name known well in softball circles, had fun with the team and

tournament.

“This is such a good, fun group,” he said. “When you look across the diamond and most all of us have played with each other at some time, that is what makes this game so great.”

Simmons is worried about the game in the future.

“It’s sad that softball seems to be dying,” she said, as a cooler of water was poured on her head in the traditional victory celebration. “Maybe us ‘older’ players are getting to that point of moving on and the new blood just doesn’t seem to be there. But this is still so fun, we have to keep it going.”

GOLF: PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Storms interrupt, postpone PGA Championship at Baltusrol

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. – Thunderstorms shut down the PGA Championship on Saturday before 10 players could even hit a shot, setting up what could be a long, wet and wild conclusion to the final major of the year – whenever it ends.

Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb made it as far as the practice range before clouds gathered, the sky rumbled and storms dumped more rain on an already saturated golf course at Baltusrol. Tied for the lead at 9-under par, they faced a 36-hole Sunday, provided the course could be ready by 7 a.m.

Otherwise, another Monday finish loomed, and that was only part of the unpredictable nature of this PGA

Championship.

Kevin Kisner had seven birdies in his round of 5-under 65 and was at 5-under 205. He was one shot ahead of Padraig Harrington, who also had a 65.

They were among only 37 players of the 86 who made the cut to complete the third round.

The plan was for the third-round pairings to go right back out Sunday morning, meaning they would finish before the last group even began the fourth round.

“That will be an interesting dynamic, for sure,” said Kerry Haigh, the PGA of America’s managing director of championships. “Add to the excitement, actually.”

With storms in the forecast for Saturday afternoon, Haigh said the PGA did

not “significantly” consider a two-tee start Saturday morning in threesomes.

It was the third time in five years that weather messed with the PGA Championship. The final round was played in threesomes off both tees at Kiawah Island in 2012, and Valhalla was a quagmire in 2014, though the last two rounds were played in twosomes and barely finished. Rory McIlroy won both of them.

Haigh could not think of the last time the players were not paired according to their 54-hole score for the final round.

Russell Knox lagged a 65-foot birdie attempt on the 18th hole, tapped in for a par and a 67 to reach 3-under 207, and then heard the horn as Marc Leishman was getting ready for his 12-foot birdie attempt. Leishman has to return at

7 a.m. for that putt, and then wait two hours to start his final round.

Baltusrol already had about 3 inches of rain this week, and Haigh didn’t have a report on Saturday’s damage because it was still raining. There is no defense for soft greens, however, and it showed.

Streb posted the 30th round of 63 in a major on Friday. Kisner and Harrington took aim Saturday before the rain, each with 65s. Harrington didn’t even think he played that well and still shot a 65, his lowest ever in a PGA Championship.

Mickelson made the cut with one shot to spare on Friday, rallying from an opening tee shot that went out-ofbounds and onto a side street. He shot a 68 on Saturday and was at 1-under 209, and he predicted far lower scores to come.

BOURBONNAIS – The Bears have failed to have a 1,000-yard rusher only six times in the 21st century, and in four of those six seasons the fewest yards their rushing leader put up was 888 yards or more.

In 2002, Anthony Thomas followed his rookie of the year campaign rushing for only 721 yards to lead the team, but he missed eight games because of injury.

In 2007, Cedric Benson led the team with 674 yards rushing, but he missed five games because of injury and played hobbled in several others.

The point is that in every one of the past 16 seasons, James Allen, Anthony Thomas, Thomas Jones, Cedric Benson or Matt Forte has been the Bears’ featured back, supported by two or three backups.

Competition at the position hasn’t been a major concern.

But that is not the way coach John Fox likes to do business, and that is almost certainly one of the main reasons he and general manager Ryan Pace elected to let Forte leave via free agency at the end of last season.

Forte most likely still has a fair amount left in the tank, and that would have made it difficult for Fox to get Jeremy Langford, Jacquizz Rodgers, Ka’Deem Carey and this year’s fifthround pick, Jordan Howard, on the field.

The theory behind Fox’s approach is that although you might rank your backs No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, etc., they’re all pros, should all be capable of doing the job, and having the freshest legs on the field at that position on every down creates an advantage over the defense that should outweigh slight variances in ability from one back to the other.

To make this approach work, it is key to have complete buy-in from all of your backs.

Although Langford is absolutely striving to be No. 1, he said, “Oh yeah.

Being in the NFL, there are a lot of running backs out there.

“The competition in our room is real good right now. Nothing is given, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. You’ve got to go earn everything you get.”

36 WHITE SOX 6, TWINS 5 (10 INNINGS) Navarro’s double in 10th lifts White Sox past Twins

By ANDRES YBARRA The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS – Dioner Navarro hit a tiebreaking double in the 10th inning to drive in Avisail Garcia and lift the Chicago White Sox to a 6-5 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.

Garcia hit a leadoff double against Fernando Abad (1-4), and then scored easily when Navarro drove a fastball from Abad to the left-field corner.

Michael Ynoa (1-0) worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth for his first win of the season, David Robertson pitched the 10th for his 25th save.

Minnesota was one out from completing a comeback win when Melky Cabrera’s two-out single in the ninth scored Tim Anderson to make it 5-all heading into the bottom half. The Twins nearly pulled off their second walkoff win in two nights when Ynoa walked Max Kepler to load the bases for Brian Dozier, who popped out to third to send it to extra innings.

Eduardo Escobar hit a two-out,

three-run homer in the eighth off Matt Albers to put the Twins up 5-4.

But Brandon Kintzler blew his first save opportunity in nine chances on Cabrera’s third RBI of the night.

Albers and Dan Jennings failed to hold onto a two-run lead in the eighth, wasting a solid seven-inning performance by starter Miguel Gonzalez.

Justin Morneau homered and hit an RBI double against his old team, and Cabrera also drove in a

pair of runs against Twins starter Tommy Milone, who looked sharp early before yielding hits to five of his final seven batters.

Gonzalez scattered six hits, struck out five and lasted seven innings for third time this month. His 114 pitches were a season high. Minnesota’s only run against him the first six innings came in a three-error third that saw Byron Buxton flash his impressive speed on the base paths.

Martin’s 2-run double leads Mariners over Cubs

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Leonys Martin hit a go-ahead, two-run double off new Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman on Saturday in the eighth inning, lifting the Seattle Mariners over Chicago, 4-1.

Wade Miley (7-8) took a nohit bid into the seventh inning before allowing Kris Bryant’s single and Javier Baez’s RBI groundout.

Jake Arrieta (12-5) walked Mike Zunino and Shawn O’Malley starting the eighth, pinch-hitter Luis Sardinas sacrificed against Hector Rondon, and Nori Aoki grounded to third, where Bryant threw out pinch-runner Guillermo Heredia at the plate, a call upheld in a video review.

Making his third appearance for the Cubs since he was acquired from the New York Yankees, Chapman allowed Martin’s double to left-center on a 99.6 mph pitch, which put Seattle ahead, 2-1.

added a run in the ninth when shortstop Addison Russell threw high to first on Chris Iannetta’s two-out grounder, allowing Franklin Gutierrez to score from third.

Edwin Diaz struck out pinch-hitter Anthony Rizzo and Dexter Fowler with two on to end the eighth. Steve Cishek worked around a hit in the ninth for his 25th save in 30 tries. Chicago had won its previous three games.

Arrieta (12-5) allowed two

runs, two hits and three walks in seven-plus innings with four strikeouts. He fell to 0-3 with a 4.88 ERA in five starts during July.

Miley allowed one hit over seven innings with a season-high nine strikeouts. He had lost his previous six starts since beating Cleveland on June 7.

Fowler initially was called out by plate umpire Lance Barrett on Baez’s grounder, but the call was overturned in a video review.

New Lenox man does research at dinosaur quarry

“If we can get kids interested in research at the right time, we might be able to make scientists out of them.”

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

New Lenox resident and paleontologist

dunland@shawmedia.com

NEW LENOX – A historic dinosaur site is getting a second look – and possibly a second hypothesis of how the bones got there.

In June, Joseph Peterson, assistant professor of geology at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh; and Jonathan P. Warnock, an assistant professor from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania led a team of researchers at Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry in Utah.

And a New Lenox resident and paleontologist was part of that team.

Steve Clawson, a preparator of fossil vertebrates, is using three-dimensional photography to map the site. He became involved in the project four years ago while writing an undergraduate thesis and anticipates the work at the quarry will continue for another five to seven years.

Clawson, who said he’s worked in the paleontology community about nine years, messaged his contacts letting them know he was seeking interesting projects. Warnock invited him out to the quarry, the largest depository of fossils on Earth, Clawson said.

“It’s every paleontologist’s dream to work on this site, so I jumped on board,” Clawson said.

Clawson is mapping the site of every bone the team finds – how far below the surface it is and its plunge direction both horizontally and vertically, he said. By taking 500 to 1,000 digital photographs at precise angles and scanning them, Clawson can create a 3-D map and video of the site.

Why are such maps important? Because it appears the previous theory of how the bones wound up in the quarry might be incorrect, Clawson said.

The original theory is that the quarry was once a muddy pit. After one dinosaur became stuck, others came to feed on it, got stuck and so on, Clawson said.

“When we compare it to known predator sites – like La Brea Tar Pits in California – nothing makes sense in those terms,” Clawson said. “We

through the University of Chicago, where he met people from the Field Museum of Natural History.

“Soon I was hanging out in the lab every single weekend – every single day in the summer – learning how to become a fossil preparator,” Clawson said.

By age 19, Clawson said he was hired as the staff fossil preparator at the Burpee Museum of Natural History in Rockford.

He bemoans that many paleontologists today specialize in biology rather than geology. The latter perspective is necessary, Clawson feels, in order to accurately interpret an assemblage of bones in terms of time period and evolution.

“We need to know what happened to the animals before we think biology, before we do chemical analyses or extract of soft tissues,” Clawson said.

The researchers’ work at Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry did attract curious visitors and Clawson is glad of that, especially when children become interested. It’s a great way to watch the scientific method unfold, he Photo provided said.

Long-term use of SSRIS safe Dear Dr. K: I’m nearing 60, and I’ve been on SSRI medicines for nearly 30 years, for depression. They work for me, but should I be worried about side effects from using them for so long?

Dear Reader: You’ve asked an important question – one that should be asked of any medicine used for many months or years.

All medicines can have side effects, and SSRIs are no exception. And some medicines can have side effects that become apparent only after long-term use.

Fortunately, SSRIs have been used by so many people, for so long, we can say that they do more good than harm.

SSRIs (the full name is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) were created to treat depression. They also have been a first-choice treatment for anxiety disorders since the 1990s. Popular SSRIs include escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft).

SSRIs target the natural brain chemical called serotonin, a neurotransmitter that affects anxiety and mood. A neurotransmitter is a chemical that travels from one nerve cell to another. Basically, neurotransmitters are the way nerve cells talk to each other.

Between one nerve cell and another there is a small space. One cell releases a neurotransmitter into that space; it travels like a boat across a pond and locks onto a structure on the other cell. The structure is called a receptor. When serotonin released by one cell travels to another cell and locks onto its receptor, one cell has “talked” to another.

SSRIs cause more serotonin signals to travel from one brain cell to another. As a result, SSRIs amplify the beneficial effects of serotonin on mood and anxiety.

The side effects of SSRIs some

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff people experience include insomnia, rashes, headaches, joint and muscle pain, stomach upset, nausea and diarrhea. SSRIs also can diminish sexual desire, performance and satisfaction. In some people, they do all three.

SSRIs can have dangerous interactions with some other medicines. The most important is an increased risk of bleeding in people who also are using blood-thinning medicines. Blood thinners include aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and warfarin.

Very rarely, people taking SSRIs can develop a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. The symptoms include fever, rapid heartbeat, dilated pupils, agitation, confusion and even coma. I’ve never seen this rare but serious side effect.

Finally, the Food and Drug Administration warns that in children, teens and young adults, SSRIs may increase thoughts of suicide and suicidal attempts.

But if you’ve already been taking an SSRI for many years and have not had such thoughts, then you probably are at no higher risk of having them in the future.

SSRIs do not relieve depression in everyone, so you are fortunate they work for you. And you also are fortunate they haven’t caused side effects. The fact you’ve been taking them for nearly 30 years is no reason to consider stopping them.

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

Divergent career paths lead couple in different directions Dear Abby: My partner, “Andrew,” and I have been together for four years. I’m a high school teacher, and he works for a major department store. Andrew always has wanted to be a flight attendant and now has the opportunity to interview for a position with a regional carrier. If he gets the job, he will have to relocate to the mid-Atlantic.

I want him to follow his dreams and be successful, and I want to support him, but right now I’m not in a position financially to leave my job and go with him. Although I’m a good teacher, there is additional education I need to pursue, and I have worked with my department chair on a five-year plan that includes some study abroad. I hope to teach at a community college in the future, but what if I’m not hired close to where Andrew works? How

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips do I deal with all this? – Messed Up Man In Massachusetts Dear Messed Up Man: You recognize

some challenges lie ahead for you and Andrew if you are both going to live your dreams and achieve your full potential. You say you have worked out a five-year plan that includes study abroad. In a year or two, it could have been Andrew writing me about the same insecurities you are feeling.

Separation doesn’t have to mean the end of your relationship if you are both determined not to let it. You owe it to yourselves to have a little faith, give it a try, and “what will be will be.”

NEIGHBOR

Dear Abby: Another birthday is coming up for one of my grandchildren and there absolutely is nothing we can think of she doesn’t already have five of. We are simple people but love our grandchildren and would like to get them something original once in a while. Our kids buy them everything they want in every color and style. Our grandkids have clothes they wear once and toys that are still in the packages. Spending time would be a good idea except they want to be entertained at expensive attractions and are bored with just spending time together.

We want to be part of their lives, but we don’t have a clue as to how to do it. Can you help? – Out Of Ideas In

Florida Dear Out Of Ideas: I’ll try. Is there anything you can make for your

Volunteer.

grandchildren that cannot be found in a store – perhaps something from your oven? Many grandchildren have fond memories of Grandma’s brownies, chocolate chip cookies, apple cake, etc.

If the answer is yes, then bring – or send – a package to your grandchildren.

I say this because my grandmother, Rose Phillips, used to have the most wonderful brownies (with powdered sugar on top) on her kitchen counter when our family would come to visit.

If she had sent me a box as a gift, I would have been delighted.

Something like this is a gift that only you can give. It’s something special and it won’t break the bank.

Ann Richards, the 45th Governor of Texas, who died in 2006, said, “I have very strong feelings about how you lead your life. You always look ahead, you never look back.”

At the bridge table, the previous tricks cannot be changed, but they influence tricks still to come. In this deal, for example, South is in four spades. West leads the heart ace.

What happens after that?

South has a textbook three-spade opening, showing a good seven-card suit and 5-10 high-card points.

North’s raise is thin, but it is worth gambling for a vulnerable game.

At trick one, East must play the heart nine, starting a high-low (echo) with his doubleton. West cashes the heart queen and continues with the heart king. What should East discard?

Assuming the third heart is standing up, South’s hand presumably has one of these distributions: 7-3-2-1, 7-3-1-2, 7-3-3-0 or 7-3-0-3. In the first three cases, East wants his partner to shift to a diamond at trick four, not to a club. (Yes, if West has exactly queen-doubleton of clubs, a club switch produces down two, whereas a diamond shift defeats the contract by only one trick.) Any club tricks can wait, but the diamond king needs to be established. So, East should discard the diamond nine. He could throw the club four, but it is better to signal with a high, encouraging card in the suit he would like partner to lead.

If West shifts to a diamond at trick four, the contract fails. If, though, he leads a club, declarer loses that trick, but gets his diamond loser away on the dummy’s club king.
