Group wants referendum to restructure Joliet City Council

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A community group plans to submit petitions Monday to put a referendum on the Nov. 8 ballot aimed at creating new Joliet City Council districts.

Concerned Citizens of Joliet wants to eliminate at-large council positions while expanding the number of council districts from five to eight.

“We hope that by representatives representing an area, that they’ll be more aware of what’s happening in the community,” said Maria Aracelia Rosas-Urbano, chairwoman of the group.

District council members are elected by voters in defined districts of Joliet. Atlarge members are elected citywide. If the system were changed to eight districts, those areas would be smaller than the districts that exist now.

The effort to change the council structure has been in the works for several years.

Concerned Citizens of Joliet tried to get the issue on the ballot in November 2014. But the City Electoral Board ruled that the group had not submitted enough valid signatures to get the referendum on the ballot.

The group said it will submit 4,000 signatures Monday to the Joliet city clerk.

The ruling in 2014 was that the group fell short of a requirement of 2,178 signatures based on the number of Joliet residents who voted in the 2010 election.

Supporters of redistricting argue that more districts would increase neighborhood representation, especially in minority communities. Opponents argue that since at-large council members are elected citywide, residents have options if they are not satisfied with representation by their district council members.

The size of the City Council would remain the same – eight council members and the mayor – under the proposal, with the three at-large positions converted to district positions.

Concerned Citizens of Joliet issued a news release Friday that included a reference to a report by the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law that at-large systems lead to under-representation of minorities and unfair hiring practices for public employees.

The Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law represented Concerned Citizens of Joliet in the electoral board hearing in 2014.

The news release also included a statement from Craig Purchase, president of Rainbow Push Coalition Joliet.

“In our conversations with over 9,000 Joliet citizens, we found that the people are disenfranchised, not apathetic,” Purchase said. “In these disruptive times, the Joliet community is very keen to see political change.”

Monday is the deadline for filing a petition for referendum, said Joliet City Clerk Christa Desiderio. The deadline for filing an objection to the petitions is Aug. 15.

Comcast to improve internet speeds

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – In the near future, Comcast will launch in the Chicago region its latest internet service upgrade, which brings 1-gigabit-per-second internet speeds to its entire service area.

Comcast Greater Chicago Region Vice President of Communications Jack Segal said Friday the upgrade will not require any new construction, although a release date is not yet available.

“Because we’re using our existing lines, this will allow us to reach all across Plainfield and the rest of the Chicago area,” Segal said. “Comcast is the only internet service provider that will be able to deliver gigabit speeds over its existing lines across town and across the metro area.”

When the service goes live, Segal said,

a 150-megabyte music album in two seconds and a 600-megabyte television show in four seconds.

In recent months, competitor MetroNet has begun setting up fiber optic cable and internet lines in Plainfield and Romeoville, capable of reaching 1 gigabit per second. MetroNet’s installation in Romeoville is expected to take two years to cover the entire village.

That isn’t the case for Comcast, Segal said. The company, for the past year, has had a fiber-based residential internet service that’s capable of delivering 2-gigabit-per-second speeds to about 40 percent of homes in the Chicago region. But the new service will be able to reach all homes and businesses Comcast serves in its network infrastructure.

Comcast already provides up to 100-gigabyte-per-second speeds to a large number of businesses over fiber.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL SPIRIT

Area events help struggling families afford school supplies and more

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com

OLIET – Getting free school supplies and services at the Will County Back to School Fair is a big help to Courtnee Hampton and her family.

Hampton, a Rockdale resident and student at Joliet Central High School, was out with her siblings Thursday to get ready for the upcoming school year.

She said her mom is “on again,

off again” with jobs, and it’s hard for her to financially support Hampton and her siblings for school because they attend grade, middle and high schools, and have different back-toschool needs.

But the Back to School Fair takes the burden off her mom’s shoulders.

“It de-stresses me because I like to help my mom, too,” said Hampton, who was at the fair for the first time. “It really does help my mom financially, and it helps us with the situation we’re going through.”

The fair, hosted for its 24th year

by Catholic Charities of Joliet, is one of several events in Will County helping families such as Hampton’s by giving them free school supplies but also getting them excited for school.

Besides Thursday’s event, the Forest Park Community Center is planning a back-to-school fair with free supplies from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday at Forest Park in Joliet.

Professional Salon Concepts in Joliet also held a back-to-school community charity event Friday called “Look Amazing, Be Amazing,” where students received snacks, haircuts and a free tote bag of school supplies.

The events are helpful for children, especially those from low-income families. The number of children statewide who are considered low-income has increased over the past five years to 54 percent, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Children in poverty often struggle academically, and nationwide data over the past 30 years shows a growing gap in academic achievement between the poorest and most affluent families, according to the Illinois Kids Count 2015 report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Forest Park Executive Director Bettye Gavin said the upcoming backto-school fair helps low-income families but also teachers who, because of the low financial support schools receive, have to use their own money to help children with supplies.

“We want to make sure our kids have their tools and resources that they need to be successful in school,” Gavin said.

People at the Will County and Forest Park events receive more than school supplies. They also get games, entertainment and helpful services.

“This is my first time, and I am totally impressed,” said Ann Hyler, a volunteer with Northern Illinois Food Bank, of the Will County Back to School Fair. “This is a fair for the kids, and it’s getting them excited about school.”

The Northern Illinois Food Bank was one of several vendors at the fair, and volunteers were providing families with food, snacks, food assistance benefit information and referrals to local food pantries.

Marianne Melcher, the Will County Back to School Fair coordinator, said the event is something that children look forward to every year because it has music and entertainment to go along with the search for supplies.

“We’re just trying to make it a fun event for the kids,” Melcher said.

For Elizabeth Paredez, of Joliet, a single mother raising five children, the fair has been a help for her family as she tackles other expenses such as bills.

“It gives me a big relief off my shoulders because I don’t have to worry about that much. There’s haircuts, books and whatnot,” she said.

She said her children were enjoying themselves, and she was planning on getting school supplies, a haircut for her daughter and a few books.

Thursday was her third time coming to the fair.

“They’re doing a really good job,” she said. “I love how they always have food for the kids and free water out there.”

at Thursday’s fair to get her son school supplies. Goff, who came from Wilmington, said it was her first time coming to the fair and that it helps because she isn’t able to afford all the supplies her son needs.

“I’m really thankful for this,” she said.

Also happy with the fair was Anthony Thompson of Shorewood, who was there to get school supplies for his children. Thompson said he’ll shop at stores for supplies but the fair helps supplement what he needs for his children, who also play sports and need supplies for that, too.

He said the fair should be expanded in the future and organizers should consider offering clothes, too, since parents struggle with those costs. “[There’s] people putting their whole check on clothes, and they become broke and have no money for school supplies. Most kids want to look good on the first day of school, and a lot of kids can’t afford to look good,” Thompson said.

He said people bond together at the fair and it helps the community.

“It’s giving kids something to do before school starts,” Thompson said. “It’s getting them motivated for school.”

Joliet water and sewer projects Consultant advises changes planned through 2021 JOLIET

in utilities dept. operations

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The efficiency expert hired to review Joliet’s Utilities Department in light of a plan to raise water and sewer rates gave a report last week, but did not offer much to suggest a rate hike could be averted.

Robin Haley with Matrix Consulting Group called the overtime paid in the Utilities Department “exceedingly high.” He also said Joliet needs to hire more people and make preventative maintenance a higher priority, both of which likely would lead to spending more money.

He said the city should move away from four-person work crews and stagger work shifts to reduce overtime.

“We’re fully aware that one of the major objectives of this study was to find cost savings,” Haley told the City Council last week when delivering his report.

He said implementing some changes, including more investment in preventative maintenance, would lead to cost savings in the long term. But Haley did not put a number on how much money could be saved.

The City Council sought the efficiency study nearly a year ago when the Utilities Department sought rate increases to pay for, among other things, a preventative maintenance program.

Haley’s report seemed to confirm the department’s call for more spending on preventative maintenance, although he did not offer an opinion on the need for rate increases.

Calling most field work done by the

Utilities Department “reactive,” Haley said, “You’re waiting until something breaks, and then you fix it.”

A review committee will develop recommendations from the study findings. But there was some immediate disagreement about Haley’s report.

Overtime, which amounts to 29 percent of total pay in the department, is an option to avoid hiring more staff and potentially spending more, City Manager Jim Hock said.

“I’m not disappointed in that number,” Hock said.

He said Joliet’s overtime rate is probably being compared to numbers in “right to work states” where employees may not have the pension and health benefits that are paid to municipal employees in Illinois.

“Oftentimes, in the public sector in Illinois, it is cheaper to pay overtime than it is to hire more people,” Hock said. “It’s a balancing act.”

Hock said the four-person standard in field crews is required under a union contract and is down from a previous requirement of five-person crews.

John Dillon, president of Local 440 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents the Utilities Department, said smaller crews at work sites would be a safety issue.

“If you make it any smaller, that would be an [Occupational Safety and Health Administration] issue big time,” Dillon said.

He said staggered work shifts are not barred by the union contract and have been used before.

“It seemed like it resulted in more overtime,” Dillon said.

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city this year will wrap up a few projects in a long-term water utilities program that runs to 2021 and is funded with $227 million in low-interest loans from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

The work ranges from the $87 million combined sewer overflow project – to meet EPA mandates aimed at keeping sewage from overflowing into streams and rivers during heavy rains – to water main repairs throughout the city.

The plan also includes sanitary sewer rehabilitation in areas identified as trouble spots in Joliet, Civil Engineer Allison Swisher told the Joliet City Council Public Service Committee last week.

A sanitary sewer project along Route 6 on the West Side of the city is scheduled for completion in December. The $6.7 million project improves sewer capacity for Hollywood Casino, Ecolab and industry along the highway.

In 2017, the city plans $6.6 million in sanitary sewer rehabilitation and another $7.6 million in water main rehabilitation.

Water main and sewer rehabilitation will continue throughout the multiyear program. The city will spend $36 million on water mains and $34.5 million on sanitary sewers.

One bright note for 2017, Swisher said, is that the IEPA loan rate will fall to 1.75 percent. Through 2021, the interest rate is expected to be no higher than 2.5 percent. The city has 20 years to pay off the loans.

EPA-mandated projects include phosphorous removal at the city’s wastewater treatment plants designed to improve water quality downstream.

Joliet faces fines and penalties if the work is not done.

Joliet is combining the phosphorous project with an expansion of the Aux Sable plant so it can take sewage now going to the West Side plant, which city officials say is near capacity. Work at all three facilities, including the East Side plant, will total $38 million,

Will County Justice Center seeing movement

Jason Dwyer, project manager for firm Wight & Co., the contracted designer of the new courthouse, updated the committee Tuesday on design work. The firm is meeting weekly with various users and stakeholders as they work together to fine-tune a schematic design for the target completion date of Aug. 19.

Dwyer said details such as inmate lockup locations and courtroom configuration are yet to be decided for the

“We’ve set up a system to be able to handle the projects, so to me, it doesn’t make sense to push it back to the commission.”

Committee vice chairman, R-Homer Glen proposed 10-floor, $195 million judicial complex. Planners also are seeking a third-party company to operate food service at the building. Dwyer said involved parties are hoping for a cafe with quality soups and sandwiches, not intense, involved cooking.

Will County Public Building Commission seeks involvement

The committee declined a request

by Will County Public Building Commission Interim Chairman Joe Ward

to employ an executive director at the commission to assist the county with construction of the sheriff’s facility and courthouse. Ward told the committee the purpose of the request was to have the projects turned over to the Public Building Commission.

Committee Vice Chairman Mike Fricilone, R-Homer Glen, said in the meeting that the commission didn’t want to hire an executive director after the death in October 2013 of former Executive Director Mel Rull, which is why projects such as the sheriff’s facility and courthouse have been overseen by County Board committees.

“We’ve set up a system to be able to handle the projects, so to me, it doesn’t make sense to push it back to the commission,” Fricilone said.

County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said he’s been a big proponent of the commission in the past, but its role has changed, although that doesn’t mean it can’t play a part in future projects.

JOLIET – The Will County Board could award the first of three bid packages Aug. 18 for work on the new Will County Public Safety Complex.

The County Board’s Capital Improvements Committee at its meeting Tuesday heard updates from Leopardo Companies, the firm contracted for construction management of the project, and DLR Group, the firm contracted to design the facility.

Leopardo Project Manager Nicole McElroy said the firm has split work into three different packages to create a fast-tracked construction process that will keep the project on schedule for groundbreaking in mid-September.

The committee voted Tuesday to approve a guaranteed maximum price of $29.6 million for the project. The total will reach $32.8 million when factoring in “soft” costs – such as design, engineering, security and utilities – and other costs such as furniture, fixtures and equipment.

Users of the complex’s 911 dispatch

center and emergency administrative offices will pay back about $1.5 million over 20 years.

The committee voted to place a 2 percent owner’s contingency on the project budget. Leigh McMillen, of Leopardo, told the committee about 90 percent of projects she sees have an owner’s contingency worked into the budget. Donald Moran, D-Romeoville, made the motion after asking McMillen what the typical contingency is on a project of the complex’s scope. McMillen said it is usually 2 percent of the guaranteed maximum price.

JOLIET – A man told police he was shot during a robbery attempt in a driveway Thursday night in Joliet.

COAL CITY – Going back to school can be difficult for some families. The cost of new clothes, school supplies, school fees and medical appointments can be overwhelming.

On Monday, Help for Hope, the Coal City Teachers’ Association and the Coal City Food Pantry are joining forces to make the transition a little bit easier for those in need.

“We’ve helped with school supplies for years, but this is the second year for the Back to School Expo,” Cathy Milne, director at Help for Hope, said. “Help for Hope works very closely with social workers to help the less fortunate.”

The idea behind the Coal City Back to School Expo is to bring organizations that offer services in touch with the families who need help.

The event, which will be from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Coal City High School cafeteria, is open to everyone, whether they live in Coal City or not, according to Milne.

“Nobody will be turned away,” she said. “We expect 300 to 400 families this

Crossroads Festival brings family fun to Shorewood

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent SHOREWOOD – Samantha Richardson of Shorewood spent part of her Saturday with her younger sister, Camille Richardson, in the kids zone, where the two played a game called “Shish Ka Plunk” with sticks and balls in a 5-foot tube.

Samantha was all smiles as she anticipated her ride on the Ferris wheel.

“The Ferris wheel is my favorite because it goes high and I love how it spins. I’ll be like, ‘Whoa, horsie; slow down, horsie,’ when I ride it,” she said.

The Richardsons were five out of the estimated 20,000 revelers expected to walk through the gates of the Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce Shorewood Crossroads Festival, which is taking place Friday through Sunday at Cene’s Four Seasons Park.

“This was year 40 for the festival,” chamber President Carol Wagner said.

“It’s like a hometown outside block party with neighbors, friends, cousins and family who don’t normally see each other. Plus it brings businesses and the general public together.”

The “Hometown Carnival” themed festival began Friday with an event for families with children with special needs. The event offered two hours of free rides, without the loud noises and blinking lights, as well as free pizza and ice cream. Each special needs child also received a T-shirt. Wagner said a total of 200 people attended.

“This event was great. It was a lot less rushed with low wait times, which was huge for my son, Pasha, as he cannot wait. Plus, there was not a lot of sensory overload, which sets Pasha off big time, and that was not a concern here,” special-needs mother Nicole Bittermann of Minooka said. “Pasha had a blast on the dragon roller coaster.”

Saturday, the festival came alive at noon with a craft and vendor tent,

n INFORMATION: www.crossroadsfest.com free kids games, a midway full of rides, and drinks and eating contests under the main tent. The first lineup for the eating contest was three rounds of age groups eating pie.

Seven-year-old Trista Pisano of Joliet blew her age group out of the water and had almost completed her entire apple pie when time ended.

“I won because I like pie, and I was really hungry because I didn’t eat lunch yet,” Pisano said. “I just kept eating and eating, but the hardest was not using my hands.”

Billy Goggin of Minooka has been a winner of the pie contest in the past, but this year, he was there to compete in all three contests – pie, hot dogs and spicy chicken wings.

“I’ll be alright with the pie and hot dogs, but I don’t know about what will happen with the wings. But, I’m competitive in everything I do,” Goggin said.

Saturday, the midway was packed full of kids and adults who twirled on teacups and spun on the Ferris wheel.

The night ended with bands and beer in the main tent and fireworks overhead.

Sunday offers events throughout the day, beginning at noon. Wagner said that, at noon, the much-anticipated hour-long parade starts, as does the car show. At 1 p.m., the carnival opens with $25 unlimited ride bands good from 1 to 5 p.m. The free petting zoo opens its gate at 1 p.m., too. At 2 p.m., under the main gate, country band Back Country Roads will play until 6 p.m.

The historically distressed Fairmont neighborhood in Lockport Township may see revitalization soon through a new program that kicked off recently.

Will County officials said in a news release that they partnered with other agencies on the Fairmont Redevelopment Program, which may last three to five years.

The program is an effort to implement elements of an overall Fairmont plan developed by neighborhood residents, business owners and county staff, the news release stated.

“This is all about improving the quality of life for these residents.

These days, as government must continue to do more with less resources, partnerships like this are invaluable to serve our constituents,” said Larry Walsh, Will County executive, in the news release.

A 2012 Fairmont Neighborhood Plan by Will County stated that Fairmont has struggled to attract investment and in many ways has been “left behind by the growth” that occurred in other parts of the county. The number of employed adults

disproportionately displace and affect the minority-heavy community.

In late July, 200 volunteers came to Fairmont to work on several improvement projects to kick off the redevelopment program, said Ron Pullman, Will County community development division director, in the news release.

Pullman said the improvement projects began last year when Messiah Lutheran Church reached out to Will County and county officials accepted applications from low-income homeowners who needed assistance.

“We received applications from 65 homeowners in the Fairmont area and our intent is to assist all who qualify for the program,” Pullman said in the news release.

The community development division, which is within the county’s Land Use Department, partnered with the Will County Center for Community Concerns, Habitat for Humanity, ShareFest of New Lenox and Reach Missions to obtain supplies and equipment at reduced costs.

“The residents in the Fairmont neighborhood have made due for so long, it is definitely time for us to assist them all we can,” said Pullman in the news release.

14 Police: Man shot outside Joliet bar

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A man was shot Wednesday outside a Joliet bar.

Joliet Police Department Capt. Jeff Allbert said the confrontation occurred about 11:30 p.m. at Lety’s Place, 901 N. Hickory St. “Witnesses said a man had been standing on the corner outside for some time before a car with four occupants pulled up,” Allbert said. “One man got out with a tire iron in his hand, and the man who’d been standing at the corner took out a gun and shot him.”

The gunman then ran into the bar

and out the front door. The man who’d been shot was taken back into the white Nissan Altima, which then drove away.

“The occupants were all from Bolingbrook; they tried to drive him to the hospital, but they got lost and ended up calling 911,” Allbert said.

Police met the car at Larkin and Glenwood avenues, and paramedics transported the 28-year-old man to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center. His condition was not immediately available Friday.

Deputy Chief Al Roechner said Friday the investigation into the incident remains active.

Veterans participate in project recording data at Midewin The HERALD–NEWS WILMINGTON – U.S. military veterans have been recording data during the past week about trails at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington as part of a project in partnership with the nonprofit Veterans Trek and the U.S. Forest Service, according to a Forest Service news release.

The veterans recorded information such as locations of bridges, culverts, interpretive signs and gates.

They also took photos of the trails.

When the project is complete, the public will be able to access the photos and information to tailor their experience using an interactive visitor map of the trails at Midewin.

Veterans Trek leadership saw the trails project as healing in many ways.

“There is great healing potential in nature, and in being outside and not isolating yourself,” said Veterans Trek co-founder Anthony Anderson in the news release. “It’s helpful just being outside and being in the sun, hearing birds, and seeing colors.

For me in my own recovery, getting

nia. The film has screened at festivals throughout the U.S., and will screen at the 2016 Milwaukee Film Festival, which will run Sept. 22 to Oct. 6.

Anderson said involvement with Veterans Trek is also a way for military veterans to stay connected with other veterans while continuing to serve the public. He would like to see projects conducted more regularly like the work at Midewin.

The veterans worked with Electronic Trail Assessment and Condition Survey to record the information about the trails. The Forest Service introduced e-TRACS last year as a means of streamlining the process for recording data and keeping it updated. The work at Midewin was the first time Veterans Trek has used e-TRACS and the first time the system has been applied at Midewin.

“I believe this could be a start of a great partnership between Veterans Trek and the Forest Service,” Acting Prairie Supervisor Kurt Steele said in the news release.

PLAINFIELD – A record-high 302 high school graduates of and current students at Plainfield District 202 have been named 2016 AP Scholars based on their performance on the Advanced Placement exams given during the 2015-16 school year, according to a district news release.

The 302 AP Scholars number 42 more than last year’s 260 AP Scholars, which was also a record number.

The Advanced Placement Program allows motivated and academically prepared high school students to take challenging, college-level courses and get college credit, advanced placement or both for successful performance on the AP Exams.

In 2006, District 202 offered only four AP courses. District 202 now offers 25 AP courses.

The 2015-16 results follow major initiatives implemented over the last several years to improve high school achievement.

That work has included raising the number of more challenging courses, making it easier for more students to take such courses and eliminating some lower-level classes.

it’s possible to protect the rights of gun owners and implement safeguards.

That puts her among the 54 percent of young adults – including 61 percent of Asian-Americans, 57 percent of African-Americans and 52 percent of Latinos and whites – who said laws limiting gun ownership do not infringe on the public’s right to bear arms.

“I think it’s important to make sure the government isn’t going door to door saying, ‘Let me see your guns and ammo,’ ” said Roy, who is black. “But I think it’s really important to have background checks ... and make sure a felon can’t get a gun.”

She also believes a new Texas law that permits open carry on college campuses is a bad idea.

“What if someone’s not doing well in class or a family member dies?

What’s to stop them from pulling out a gun and shooting the teacher or people in class?” she said. “You just have so many different emotions and types of people you go to school with.”

The poll underscores the differences in young Americans’ personal experiences, which they say helped shape their attitudes toward guns.

More than a third of African-Ameri-

cans – 37 percent – and nearly a quarter of Latinos say they or someone they know has experienced gun violence in the last year, compared to only 12 percent of whites or Asian-Americans.

About 4 in 10 young adults say they live in households where someone owns a gun, including 21 percent who personally own one. Among young whites, 52 percent live in a gun-owning household, with 29 percent owning one personally. Twenty-four percent of young blacks, 23 percent of young Latinos, and 19 percent of young Asian-Americans live in gun owning households, though just 10 percent of Latinos and Asian-Americans and 11 percent of African-Americans say they own one personally.

Yet more than half of Americans age 18-30 say it’s more important to control gun ownership than to protect gun rights. That includes 76 percent of young Asian-Americans, 63 percent of African-Americans, and 60 percent of Latinos. Young whites are divided, with 53 percent saying it’s more important to protect gun rights and 46 percent saying it’s more important to control gun ownership.

CHICAGO – LaShun Roy supports a ban on semi-automatic weapons and more comprehensive background checks. But the 21-year-old gun owner from rural Texas doesn’t consider gun control measures a top priority in this year’s elections.

For Keionna Cottrell, a 24-year-old who lives on Chicago’s South Side and whose brother was shot and killed this year in another Illinois city, few things are more important than limiting access to guns.

“So many people are dying here because there is no control of the weapons out on our streets,” Cottrell said.

“Young men ... have real military guns, and they’re not scared to use them.”

Although their lives and experiences differ, the young women’s shared support for additional policies to curb gun violence reflect the feelings of many Americans between the ages of 18 and 30, regardless of their backgrounds, according to a new GenForward poll.

About 9 in 10 young adults said they support criminal background checks for all gun sales, a level of support that remains consistent across racial and ethnic groups. Stiffer penalties for violating existing gun laws are supported by 9 in 10 young adults, including about 9 in 10 whites, Asian-Americans and Latinos, as well as 8 in 10 African-Americans.

Fifty-seven percent of young Americans support a ban on semi-automatic weapons, with support especially high – 74 percent – among Asian-Americans.

GenForward is a survey by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The first-of-its-kind poll pays special attention to the voices of young adults of color, highlighting how race and ethnicity shape the opinions of a new generation.

Roy, a full-time college student who learned to handle assault rifles while serving in the National Guard, said

sas, says he doesn’t oppose gun ownership, but believes gun violence “needs to be addressed very promptly” with new laws restricting access for people with criminal records and some mental health issues and a ban on some semi-automatic weapons. He says the recent killings of police officers in Dallas, where he has close friends and family, showed “that it could happen anytime, anywhere, with anyone.”

“Human behavior is predictable to a level, but also unpredictable,” said Bhakta, who runs a humanitarian nonprofit organization and hopes to earn a doctorate in psychology. “Being on top of it from the beginning helps prevent unnecessary events.”

He’s among the majority of young Asian-Americans, 62 percent, who think owning a gun does more to put a person’s safety at risk than to protect them from crime.

On the other hand, 59 percent of young adults overall say they think owning a gun does more to protect a person from being a crime victim, including nearly two-thirds of young whites, almost 6 in 10 Latinos and a slim majority of African-Americans.

Roy, the Texas college student, said there always has been a rifle in her family’s home for self-defense, but she still believes guns pose a greater threat to most owners than criminals do.

“A lot goes into handling one safely,” she said. “And a lot can go wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing.”

The poll of 1,940 adults age 18-30 was conducted July 9-20 using a sample drawn from the probability-based GenForward panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. young adult population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

The survey was paid for by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago using grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Ford Foundation.

Respondents were first selected randomly using address-based sampling methods, and later interviewed online or by phone.

Ill. eyes long prison sentences for gun traffickers

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Hoping to stem the flow of illegal guns into Illinois, lawmakers have sent Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner a bill that would punish traffickers with up to 30 years in prison.

The proposal comes as Chicago is seeing another violent year, with shootings contributing to 381 homicides as of July 31. The city has a strict gun policy that requires permits to screen for criminal records and other disqualifiers, and investigators said most of the firearms recovered at crime scenes in recent years were bought in other states where it is easier to buy guns, including neighboring Indiana.

“I have zero tolerance, zero tolerance for anyone who leaves the state for that purpose,” said Rep. Jim Durkin, the House Republican leader who introduced the bill.

Lawmakers sent Rauner the bill June 27, and he has three weeks left to decide whether to sign or veto it. Lance Trover, a spokesman for the governor,

Chicago police chief, protesters at odds over body cameras

CHICAGO – Chicago’s police superintendent suggested Saturday that an officer’s body camera wasn’t turned on when he fatally shot a black teen last month because the officer had only received it about a week earlier and wasn’t yet proficient in using it.

But demonstrators who held a march protesting the killing voiced strong suspicions that the camera may have been turned off as part of a cover-up.

At a news conference, Superintendent Eddie Johnson discussed nine videos taken from dashcams in police cars and body cameras on other officers involved. The videos show officers firing repeatedly at a stolen car as it careens down the street away from

said the bill still is being reviewed.

Prosecutors who lobbied for the bill argue they need a law that allows them to go after traffickers and levy long sentences to deter future offenders; opponents are skeptical about whether a new charge is necessary or fair.

The bill drew opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union in Illinois, which argues the penalties duplicate federal law and are too severe with “incredibly long sentences,”

“They had had those cameras maybe about a week. ... There’s going to be a learning curve,” Johnson said of the body cameras.

Protesters said Saturday they did not believe any official explanation for the nonworking body camera.

Hop farms not taking off in Illinois despite craft beer boom

CHICAGO – The hop farming craze has yet to fully take root in Illinois even though Chicago’s craft beer scene is rich and growing.

Michigan will have planted more than 800 acres of the crop by the end of 2016, while Illinois only grows 30 acres of hops, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Hop farms have popped up throughout the Midwest as

ACLU spokesman Ed Yohnka said. The group supports the goal of removing illegal guns from the streets but doubts the legislation will solve that problem, Yohnka said.

Brandon Nemec, an assistant state’s attorney in Cook County, disagrees with the ACLU’s assessment, noting the federal law applies to cases where someone transferred a firearm to someone prohibited from possessing one. The bill, however, focuses on “the

the craft brewing trend has increased the demand for the crop, which is used to flavor certain styles.

But unlike in Michigan, there’s no state university-coordinated effort to break down potential business barriers. There’s also no research underway to give Illinois farmers a competitive edge by determining the best varieties of hops to grow.

Additionally, hop farming yields more revenue an acre than commodities, but it requires significant investment to begin.

“There’s a hesitancy to invest in the land itself when we’re not in a proven market,” said Rich Hauser, president of Bier Blume Farms in Lena.

2 jailers moved into policing jobs after Ill. woman’s death

DALLAS – Less than two months after the death of Sandra Bland, a black woman from Naperville, Illinois, who was jailed in Texas after a routine traffic stop, two of her jailers quietly moved to other jobs.

intent to deliver,” Nemec said.

Nearly 60 percent of the guns used in Chicago during crimes are traced to other states, according to a 2014 report from the mayor’s office, which blamed “weaker gun laws” in those places.

About 20 percent come from Indiana, where no permit is required to buy firearms and private sellers don’t have to conduct background checks.

Illinois requires gun purchasers to obtain a permit – a process designed to disqualify felons, those with mental illnesses and domestic abusers among others.

If the bill is signed into law, a first conviction for gun trafficking will carry a sentence of four to 20 years, and a subsequent offense will punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

“We need to make a statement and do something about the straw purchases that are happening outside the state of Illinois,” Durkin said.

The measure passed unanimously in both legislative chambers.

The proposal is supported by the NRA and the Illinois State Rifle Association.

Rafael Zuniga and Michael Serges left the Waller County Sheriff’s Office in September 2015 for the Waller Police Department, a smaller agency with less responsibility, according to state records obtained by The Associated Press. They started work on the same day.

They have kept those jobs even after admitting under oath their roles in falsifying a jail monitoring log that indicated guards checked on Bland an hour before she was found hanging in her cell in July 2015, according to an attorney for the Bland family, which has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the county and several employees, including the two former jailers. Local authorities ruled Bland’s death a suicide.

Sidney Johnson, the first black councilman in Waller, said he’s suspicious about the jailers’ move to the municipal payroll so soon after Bland’s death, but that his requests for more information have been ignored.

He added that had he known about the men’s involvement

in the Bland case, “we wouldn’t have hired them.”

Rauner signs law to expand voter access for 17-year-olds

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed a measure expanding an Illinois law that lets 17-yearolds vote in a primary if they’re 18 by the general election.

The new plan now allows 17-year-olds to participate in more primaries for local offices, such as for mayor, if they’re 18 by the general contest. They also will be able to circulate petitions for candidates and ballot questions and help others register to vote.

The law takes effect immediately. Lawmakers approved it with overwhelming support.

Illinois approved a law in 2013 allowing 17-year-olds to vote in a primary if they turned 18 by the general election. It took effect in the 2014 election cycle.

Democratic state Sen. Terry Link was a bill sponsor. He’s said the plan helps open doors for teens.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Taliban’s new commando force tests Afghan army

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – An elite new Taliban force is proving its strength in the strategic southern province of Helmand, pointing to the insurgents’ ability to refine their battlefield techniques to match Afghanistan’s increasingly professional national army.

The Taliban regard Helmand as their heartland. They share Pashtun ethnicity with its residents and the province’s vast opium output has helped fund the war against the government in Kabul, now in its 15th year.

In recent weeks, the Taliban have taken huge swaths of the province and appear to be closing in on the capital, Lashkar Gah. Afghan officials said the army is facing an insurgent fighting force that is better-organized and more skilled than ever.

Fla. officials in damagecontrol mode over Zika

TAMPA, Fla. – Thank goodness it’s the slow season in Florida.

At least that’s what officials and representatives of the state’s multibillion-dollar tourism industry are thinking after news that 16 people have been infected with Zika in a small, trendy neighborhood in Miami.

The outbreak has sent another chill through the Sunshine State’s tourism industry just

weeks after the Orlando nightclub massacre and the killing of a 2-year-old boy by an alligator at Walt Disney World.

Florida officials have gone into damage-control mode, with Gov. Rick Scott insisting, “We have a safe state!”

Tourism is Florida’s biggest industry. Visitors spent $89 billion here last year.

Outside of a few business owners in the affected squaremile neighborhood, however, Zika appears to have done little damage to tourism so far.

Buffalo charges riders on horseback at S.D. park

CUSTER STATE PARK, S.D. – Authorities said a mounted guide who was leading a family of four on a trail ride in Custer State Park prevented a possible disaster when she put her horse in front of a charging buffalo.

Park Superintendent Matt Snyder said a large bull buffalo attacked the group of riders Friday morning. The buffalo reportedly knocked the guide off of her horse, which spooked the other four horses into spilling their riders.

There were no serious injuries.

Snyder says bulls are currently in rut, the time in the mating season when an animal that already is unpredictable can become even more erratic.

U.S. discloses more conditions for lethal strikes by its drones

By CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The White House has released a version of President Barack Obama’s 3-year-old guidance on the use of lethal force against terrorists overseas, laying out what it said are safeguards to minimize civilian deaths and errant strikes while preserving the capability to take quick action with drone attacks and other means.

The “presidential policy guidance” stipulates that the U.S., when operating outside areas of active hostilities, will only take direct action when there is “near certainty” that the terrorist target is present and that noncombatants won’t be killed or injured. Lethal force also can be undertaken only against a lawful target that poses a “continuing, imminent threat” to Americans.

The principles, released with redactions, provide more detail on the conditions for drone strikes and other direct action than the White House revealed earlier when it summarized the document in a fact sheet in 2013.

Obama or his aides have spoken previously, however, about the “near certainty” standard at the heart of the guidance – a standard that hasn’t silenced criticism over civilian deaths from drones.

Ned Price, spokesman for the White House’s National Security Council, said in a statement Saturday that the policy standards “offer protections for civilians that exceed the requirements of the law of armed conflict.”

“As the president has said, ‘near certainty’ is the ‘highest standard we can set,’ ” Price said. The U.S. “takes feasible precautions to minimize the risk of civilian casualties” even when the U.S. is not operating in conditions covered by the guidance, he added, “or when we act quickly to defend U.S. or partner forces from imminent attack.”

The American Civil Liberties Union had sued for disclosure of the guidance under the Freedom of Information Act and welcomed the development. The release “will inform an ongoing debate about the lawfulness and wisdom of the government’s counterterrorism policies,” said Jameel Jaffer, ACLU deputy legal director.

But Jaffer said questions remain about where the guidance applies, whether Obama has waived its requirements in particular instances, and how the “relatively stringent standards can be reconciled with the accounts of eyewitnesses, journalists and human rights researchers who have documented large numbers of bystander casualties.”

Among the conditions set out in the guidance: Approval from the president is required for a lethal strike against a U.S. citizen or when relevant officials in the administration disagree on whether a particular non-American “nominated” for a deadly attack should in fact be targeted. In cases where the officials are unanimous in favor of a lethal attack against a foreigner, the president needs to be notified but his approval is not required to proceed.

In July, the administration said it had killed up to 116 civilians in counterterrorism attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and other places where the U.S. is not engaged in active, on-theground warfare. It was the first such public assessment and a response to growing pressure for more information about lethal U.S. operations overseas. Human rights and other groups quickly complained that the administration undercounted civilian casualties.

The report by National Intelligence Director James Clapper said the U.S. conducted 473 counterterrorism strikes, including those by unmanned drones, between January 2009 and December 2015, killing 2,372 to 2,581 combatants in those years.

Dear Mr. Berko: In 2005, you said Yahoo Finance was a good free source of investment and statistical data, and I’ve often used it to help me make investment decisions. But Yahoo recently changed the format, and it’s really crappy. The information is terribly reduced. The site is confusing and clunky to use. Necessary information is missing and hard to find.

And there’s tons of wasted space. It’s a disaster. Is there any way to get the old site back? I’m willing to pay for it, too. Or can you recommend other stock sites that I can use for investing information?

I also need your opinion on a company called Accelerate Diagnostics.

It has invented a diagnostic machine that takes a blood sample and within several hours can provide a detailed analysis that would normally take days. What do you think? – MS, Oklahoma City Dear MS: The abominable restruc-

turing of the Yahoo Finance site demonstrates why Yahoo (YHOO$38.60) was purchased by Verizon.

Having stinky earnings means having stinky management. And stinky management hires stinky people, who make stinky decisions.

I wasn’t surprised by the number of readers who went berko over

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Yahoo’s recent website change. So I called a bigwig at Finance at Yahoo (let’s call him Tricky Mickey), one of the remaining gormless engineers, to ask whether one could access the old site. I’ve called three times, but Tricky Mickey won’t return my calls. Frankly, I think he’s emotionally incapable of doing so.

I use Yahoo Finance, which is free, and eight other sites, which cost between $399 and $8,000 a year. I’m uncomfortable recommending those pay sites; however, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, MSN Money, Bloomberg, FreeRealTime, E-Trade, Thomson Reuters and Scottrade are excellent free data sources.

Each is enormously superior to Yahoo’s grossly purged site, which contains considerably less information and almost zero data on mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, preferred stocks, etc. The reason for the redacted site is that Yahoo’s management really believes it’s superior to the old site and will attract more advertising. Yahoo’s people, who once

ruled Silicon Valley, are very good at making stupid decisions.

Tricky Mickey is among the reasons Yahoo can’t prosper. Realizing that Yahoo is imploding and watching the sharks circle because they smell Yahoo blood, the best engineers have jumped ship. The dumb ones, who can’t find other jobs, remain. And those who remain (the stupids) will have trouble finding jobs when Verizon takes over.

Remember the old adage: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Tricky Mickey is fixated on fixing things that “ain’t broke,” which probably makes him feel useful. He is the pillock who redesigned Yahoo Finance, which has a huge useless map detailing the location of every company covered by Yahoo Finance. Tricky Mickey screwed the pooch. Yahoo Finance was among the few products management could brag about and a go-to source for quick, succinct, easy-to-access data on innumerable investments. Today Yahoo Finance is a limp rag.

Thousands of loyal users woke up one July morning to discover that Yahoo Finance had been hijacked by an inferior Yaphooey Finance. Meanwhile, Verizon must be very careful which Yahoo people it retains to prevent its employees from being infected

Will County keeps high bond rating The HERALD–NEWS

JOLIET – S&P Global Ratings has assigned an AA+ and Moody’s Investor Services has assigned an Aa1 rating to Will County’s upcoming $175 million bond issuance.

This review process also resulted in an affirmation of these ratings to the county’s existing debt, according to a news release from the county. The ratings were based upon key rating drivers such as healthy reserves supported by strong financial operations, a robust regional economy, and manageable long-term liabilities. Each agency also assigned a “stable outlook” to the county based upon these attributes.

“Due to Will County’s fiscally conservative approach, we have maintained this AA+ rating from S&P since 2008,” Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said in the news release.

“Will County is able to pay its bills and when many governmental bodies are facing challenging financial outlooks, Will County is fiscally sound and moving forward.”

In 2008, Will County established a policy of maintaining 22 to 26 percent of its annual corporate budget in a cash reserve fund, setting aside the funds to strengthen the county’s financial profile and to ensure a consistent cash balance for county operations.

Will County was noted for consistently maintaining operating surpluses and a strong financial reserve fund in accordance with county policy. The county is also recognized for its expanding role as a transportation and logistics hub in the Chicago metropolitan region which contributes to its strong local economy.

“These great bond ratings are a reflection of the board’s fiscally responsible policies and decisions over many years,” Board Speaker Jim Moustis said in the news release. “We were all elected to make sure resident’s tax dollars are wisely spent and invested, and I am proud of the work we have done to achieve a strong financial standing in the eyes of global investors.”

The Moody’s report stated the expectation of the county’s financial position remaining strong as it is

supported by sound financial management practices. And the S&P ratings report reflected a similar opinion in the country’s economic strength due to anticipated increases in equalized assessed valuations and per capita buying income.

“We are working hard to set an example for other government agencies around the state and even around the nation,” Mike Fricilone, R-Homer Glen and chairman of the board’s Finance Committee, said in the news release. “Will County is operating with an excellent set of financial plans and practicing conservative budgeting, all while keeping taxes low. Looking ahead, we will continue to find ways to improve and strengthen our position.”

Ragan Freitag, R-Wilmington and chairwoman of the board’s Capital Improvements Committee, said the ratings are of great significance.

“These solid bond ratings will keep borrowing costs at a minimum and keep money in our citizens’ pockets, as we build a Will County for generations to come,” she said in the news release.

Accelerate Diagnostics Inc. (AXDX$19.50), with an expected $2.3 million in 2016 revenues, is a company that provides in vitro diagnostics. It offers a rapid platform for the diagnosis of infectious pathogens. AXDX was founded in 1982 and has yet to earn a dime, but it has a market cap of over a billion dollars.

AXDX looks like a smart speculation, based on its high-speed identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of pathogens from patient samples, which is much faster than conventional methods. AXDX shortens the normal analysis time by at least 40 hours, creating the potential to expedite optimal therapy for patients with high morbidity and mortality risks.

AXDX expects revenues of $23 million next year (a tenfold increase from 2016), and some docs I know are buying the stock, which is strongly recommended by Thomson Reuters, Market Edge, Morgan Stanley, Piper Jaffray and Credit Suisse. Go for it, but be careful out there; this isn’t a widow-and-orphan stock.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

Good luck to Will County Olympians Congratulations and good luck to our two area Olympians, Kelly Murphy and Haley Augello.

Thanks to their hard work, talent and determination, the two Will County natives are in Rio de Janeiro representing the United States – and the area – in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Murphy, a 2008 graduate of Joliet Catholic Academy, plays for the U.S. women’s volleyball team. She was the Gatorade National High School Volleyball Player of the Year after leading JCA to the state finals in 2005 and 2006, and was a three-time All-American at the University of Florida.

Murphy played professionally in Puerto Rico, Italy, Japan and China and has led the U.S. women’s volleyball team in scoring multiple years.

The U.S. women started their march toward a medal Saturday. They have preliminary matches at 1 p.m. Central Time Monday against the Netherlands, 1 p.m. Wednesday against Serbia, 1 p.m. Friday against Italy and 3:05 p.m. next Sunday, Aug. 14, against China.

If the team advances, as it is expected to, Murphy and her teammates will compete in the quarterfinals on Aug. 16. The semifinals are scheduled for Aug. 18 and the medal matches are Aug. 20.

The U.S. women were the favorites heading into the Games, so there’s a good chance we’ll be seeing Murphy compete for a medal.

Augello is a 2013 graduate of Lockport Township High School who is competing with the U.S. women’s Olympic wrestling team. She won two national titles for King University in Tennessee and was an All-American in high school.

Augello’s first match is scheduled for the morning of Aug. 17, with more matches later that day depending on her performance. Her father has confidence that she will make it to the medal stand.

“I expect her to win a gold medal, and she expects to win a gold medal,” Larry Augello told The Herald-News.

We and the rest of Will County will be pulling for both Augello and Murphy.

What a tremendous experience for them and their families. Congratulations on making it this far, and thank you for making this year’s games that much more special.

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus Daily Planet and ultimately qualify for the worst job in America: newspaper reporter.

Because for the third year in a row, CareerCast.com’s annual Jobs Rated report has placed my chosen profession at the bottom of the list.

Small wonder.

The job is a constant grind, the hours suck and your chance of getting ahead these days is almost nil. On the other hand, you get to work nights, weekends and holidays, which I guess is awesome if you’re into that kind of thing.

Still, you have to wonder, why on earth would anyone go into journalism?

Surely not for the pay.

With a median salary of $37,200, you’ll never get rich being a newspaper reporter, not unless your spouse has a good job. Indeed, Salary.com rates communications as the college major with the worst return on investment with, big surprise, newspaper reporter bottoming out at a 58 percent ROI. Ouch!

After the Watergate scandal broke, a lot of people got into reporting for the prestige. If that’s your goal now, you’d best look elsewhere.

Among professions, journalists rate pretty low on the scale of trustworthi-

ness, around 27 percent according to the most recent Gallup poll. Nearly a third of all Americans don’t trust us at all.

That’s considerably behind our esteemed colleagues in the accounting and funeral home professions, and only slightly ahead of the traditionally odious characters in the banking and legal industries.

But, hey, at least you’re not stuck sitting behind a desk, waiting for an aneurysm. Reporting keeps you on your toes, running from one assignment to another. That’s got to be a good thing, right? Well … turns out print journalism is not a particularly healthy career choice either.

Of CareerCast.com’s 10 most stressful jobs of 2016, newspaper reporter came in ninth, behind such vocations as enlisted military personnel, firefighter, pilot and cop.

Stress is inherent in journalism.

Granted, you’re not getting shot at or risking life and limb. But deadlines are constant. The hours are long, the shifts erratic. And someone’s always mad at you, at least if you’re doing your job right. The stress can be toxic, and over time it takes its toll. More than a half dozen people I’ve worked with died in their 40s or 50s, usually of cancer or heart attacks.

For the survivors, all that hard work rarely pays off.

About the only step up for a reporter is to become an editor, a job that pays only marginally better and comes with worse hours and infinitely more

stress.

Of course, that all depends on if you can land a job in the first place.

Because most newspapers have been shedding newsroom jobs for more than a decade. The diaspora started well before the Great Recession, and has never really stopped. This year alone Forbes Magazine predicts the job market will shrink another 9 percent.

It wasn’t always like this. When I started back in 1982 the field was merely stagnant; jobs opened up anytime someone died or was forced into retirement, which was actually pretty often given the number of chronic alcoholics in the field back then.

Boy, those were the good old days.

Not like now; reporting jobs are few and far between. And as newsrooms continue to downsize, more and more of the work is being outsourced to freelancers.

Don’t get me wrong. I firmly believe newspaper reporting is a vital part of a functioning democracy. We still have one of those, right? Yet despite the platitudes about the importance of the Fourth Estate, newspaper journalism in the U.S. is slowly becoming a cottage industry.

Sure, the pen is still mightier than the sword … … but, at the end of the day, it’s one step down from the chainsaw.

Back in the ’70s, I used to work at a state park.

It was an awesome job. I got to do all kinds of fun stuff, with minimal adult supervision, such as: • Careening around acres of open fields in an old Ford tractor while ostensibly mowing grass, • Scampering along the edge of 60-foot canyons to camouflage trails considered too treacherous for public transit, • Dragging trailers full of expensive equipment behind one-and-a-half-ton dump trucks – even though 1.) I didn’t know how to drive a stick, or 2.) how to haul a trailer), • And, best of all, when the boss was still naïve enough to trust an 18-yearold with a chainsaw, chopping down 75-foot trees with impunity.

Man, I loved that chainsaw. I was taking down timber right and left … right up until the time one fell the wrong way and twisted the chain bar like a pretzel.

What a sweet gig.

And they actually paid me to do it.

Five bucks an hour!

But it was a summer job, and not something I wanted to make a career out of.

What a fool I was. If only I would have stuck it out with the chainsaw, I could have qualified for the second worst job in America: lumberjack.

ress through camp, grow and just keep winning. That’s the main deal since you have to get the ‘W’s’.”

With three-straight road games kicking off a challenging schedule, Butkus knows the Saints have to get things started on the right foot beginning at today’s camp so that they can perform well when they open

A season ago, the University of St. Francis football team finished 8-3, and ranked No. 18 in the final NAIA poll.

The Saints received the No. 17 spot in this year’s preseason poll.

There is enough back, and enough fresh talent coming in, that you get the feeling this will be another successful season under Joe Curry, the 2015 MidStates Football Association Midwest League Coach of the Year.

“Our offseason went very well,” Curry said during our conversation last week. “We had a good spring. We feel we got better in spots, particularly on offense, and on defense, we return a lot of guys. We think we brought in some good depth.

“On paper, we look really good, but that’s on paper. All our coaches feel we can be real good, but the key is getting everyone in and developing a team concept. The guys have to buy into team. If they do, then we’ll be good. We have to wait until we get into camp and work through camp. Then, the picture will become more clear.”

The Saints had their registration, position meetings, team dinner and the opening of fall practice scheduled this weekend. The opening kickoff Sept. 3 at Saint Xavier looms.

From this perspective, there are numerous reasons USF should be a good watch this fall. For example: • Junior quarterback Don Butkus led the Saints to a share of the MidStates Football Association Midwest League title a year ago. Curry said Butkus had to get better in the offseason, and he has.

• Jordon Smith, the backup to John Magee a year ago, enters camp as the No. 1 tailback. “He shined in the spring,” Curry said “He wears the program on his sleeve.”

However, freshman Michael Johnson from Joliet Catholic has joined the mix. Johnson had planned to attend Southwest Missouri State but did not, enrolling at USF instead. Any time he gets his hands on the ball, something exciting could happen.

JOLIET – Don Butkus looks back at last season with a lot of good memories.

The University of St. Francis quarterback helped lead his team to an 8-3 record, a share of the MidStates Football Association Midwest League title and a No. 18 ranking in the final NAIA coaches’ poll.

Butkus passed for 1,822 yards and 16 touchdowns in 11 starts, was the MSFA Midwest League Offensive Player of the Week in a 40-0 season finale win over Olivet Nazarene and also was named all-conference honorable mention in his first year on the job at USF. But the great nephew of Bears legend Dick Butkus definitely didn’t enjoy seeing the Fighting Saints fall just short of an NAIA playoff appearance.

The junior from Dyer, Indiana, believes missing out on the postseason should serve as plenty of motivation for this year’s Saints.

And even though coach Joe Curry’s squad lost plenty of top performers, Butkus thinks that a talented group of newcomers will mix well with the returning players to put together another exciting campaign for USF, which is ranked No. 17 in the preseason poll.

“We’ve definitely set a high bar, for sure,” Butkus said. “We’ve got a good group of guys who like to work hard and a lot of young talent. In the early morning running and conditioning, you really see a lot of true character from the guys. And there’s a lot of trust and we know that we have a lot of guys who’ll have your back when you need them to.

“So this year is really exciting and we’re ready to get to camp. It’s early and we have a lot of work to do, so we’ll see how progress through camp. We’ve got high standards and we want to achieve the goals that we’ve set.”

Butkus believes the squad will build off of last year’s success, which was capped by the Saints tying for their second league title, and their first since 2011.

“We’re coming off of a good season where we were co-conference champions,” Butkus said. “We lost

Continued from page 31 • Wide receiver Lexus Jackson was an outstanding freshman at USF in 2011. Now, five years later, he is back and will be a genuine threat as a receiver and kick returner. Former USF coach Mike Uremovich once referred to Jackson as one of the most talented players the Saints had recruited during his time at the school.

Jean Pietrzak and Eli Spann both were all-conference second-team receiver picks a year ago. Pietrzak has decided to concentrate his efforts on basketball, and Spann did not return.

However, tight end Adam Morrison and Jackson, complemented by a few promising newcomers, will provide Butkus with quality targets.

• The offensive line returns four starters, including first-team all-conference left tackle Brennan Mulroe (Lincoln-Way West) along with Trevor Marevka (Peotone). Threeyear starter Ross Stremme missed all of last season with a medical red-shirt and is back.

• The defensive line will be a strength, led by ends Tim Smith and Calvin Brayboy (Bolingbrook). Smith, the master of the sack and tackles for loss, was MSFA Midwest Defensive Player of the Year last season and is a preseason All-American. Brayboy was a second-team all-conference pick and plays virtually on the same level as Smith.

Don’t know if he will be a contributor early on, but Luke Mander (JCA) will make his presence felt during his USF career. His brother Josh was a mainstay at linebacker for the Saints.

“We had an 8-3 season last year and couldn’t make the playoffs,” Butkus said. “We were ranked and right there. It’s crazy since it goes off of the polls and what they decide and we were cut short a little bit. But this year we’ve got a good preseason ranking and we’re going to try to stay up there since we’ve got a strong group of guys who are talented and smart.”

Beside meeting No. 11 SXU and Wisconsin-Platteville, which will likely be ranked in Division III, right away, the Saints also host to No. 21 St. Ambrose and No. 1 Marian.

“We’re going to plan for things in our first three games and something will go wrong and we’ll have to overcome that adversity,” Butkus said.

Alex Zlomie (Wilmington) and freshmen Jordan Bates (JCA), Jacob Pullen (Joliet West) and Antonio Jameson (Plainfield East).

Passo will be a leader. The key will be staying healthy. Thigpen, who began his college life at St. Cloud State, was a Herald-News All-Area safety in high school. Zlomie was huge in numerous capacities for Wilmington’s state championship team a couple of years ago. Bates is talented but he suffered an injury in JCA’s season opener last fall and missed a majority of the season.

• The secondary is strong, with senior cornerback Donte Cobb and junior safety Josh Woodard both first-team all-conference choices last season. Both have started since their freshman years.

• In the kicking game, the Saints are looking for a better season from place-kicker Grayson Barnette and a solid punting game as junior Luke Nelson has transferred in from Illinois.

“Special teams helped us win a few games last year, and I expect them to

“That’s what made us a good team last year. We won a lot of close games and that’s what you have to strive to do at this level since you know that teams in our conference have the same type of talent that we’ve got.

“We know that the guys on our defense have big motors and they’ll keep going and will run through a brick wall for you,” Butkus said. “I always believe that defense wins championships so that’s the first thing. And offensively, we’ve got some talent so there will be some fireworks out there.

And it all starts up front where we have some good guys.”

Butkus thinks that a big key for the Saints will be taking every opponent seriously.

“We can’t overlook anybody,” Butkus said. “Every week and every opponent is different so you have to stay focused and take it week-by-week.

If we take it game-by-game, I think that we can have a good run going.”

Optimism generally is high at this time of year. Sometimes that optimism proves well founded, sometimes not. The feeling here is there are numerous reasons the Saints could be successful and should be a fun watch.

Arrieta goes 8 innings, Cubs beat A’s, 4-0; Gray injured

By GIDEON RUBIN

The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. – Jake Arrieta pitched eight innings of three-hit ball to get his first victory in over a month and the Cubs beat the Oakland Athletics, 4-0, on Saturday.

Arrieta (13-5) was 0-3 in his previous five starts and 1-4 since ending a 20-decision winning streak on June 22.

The NL Cy Young Award winner struck out four and walked one on 108 pitches.

The NL Central-leading Cubs have won five straight and 16 of 22. They gave the A’s to their seventh loss in eight games.

Ben Zobrist’s two-out two-run single off former A’s teammate Sonny Gray broke a scoreless tie in the top of the third.

Gray (5-11) left after five innings with soreness in the extensor muscle in his right forearm. He allowed two runs on five hits.

The injury is the latest setback in a disastrous season for the 26-yearold right-hander, who’s already been on the disabled list with a right shoulder injury. Gray, a 2015 All-Star who last season finished third in AL Cy Young balloting, had the highest ERA in the majors (5.84) going into Saturday.

Zobrist and Addison Russell had two hits each for the Cubs.

• Sunday, August 7, 2016

CHICAGO – Omar Narvaez’s foul ball turned into a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning after a replay challenge, and the White Sox beat Chris Tillman and the Baltimore Orioles, 4-2, Saturday night.

With the bases loaded and nobody out, Narvaez hit a pop to shallow left field off Mychal Givens. Third baseman Manny Machado tried to make an over-the-shoulder catch, but the ball dropped and umpire Mike Winters immediately ruled it foul.

Replays showed the ball hit the foul line. Pinch-runner J.B. Shuck was awarded home and Narvaez got a single.

Nate Jones (5-2) got four outs and David Robertson worked the ninth for his 27th save.

ered and Melky Cabrera added an RBI double for the Sox, who won for the third time in 10 games.

J.J. Hardy drove in both runs for the Orioles, who stayed percentage points ahead of Toronto atop the AL East.

The Sox went up 1-0 on consecutive doubles by Tim Anderson and Cabrera leading off the first. Saladino’s liner to left on an 0-1 changeup in the third made it 2-0 as Tillman struggled with his command.

The Orioles were unlucky in getting only one run in the fourth. Hardy’s liner to right-center would have scored two if it didn’t bounce into the stands.

Sox starter Carlos Rodon, who struck out five straight early in the game, allowed Hardy’s sacrifice fly for an unearned run in the sixth aided by Anderson’s fielding error at shortstop on what could have been a double-play grounder.

Solo comes up big for 200th cap; U.S. beats France, 1-0

By ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – Love her or hate her, Hope Solo’s dominance as a goalkeeper is undeniable.

Solo came up big in her historic 200th international appearance as the United States fought off France, 1-0, on Saturday in an Olympic group match at Mineirao Stadium. And she did it while facing boos from Brazilian fans still riled up about her social media posts about the Zika virus.

“What’s important to me is that I played the best quality of football that I can play, and that hopefully our team makes it to the final,” Solo said.

“If they (the fans) are having fun, great. I like a loud stadium. But it really doesn’t mean anything to me.”

Solo became the first goalkeeper, male or female, to reach the 200-cap mark in international play. She also became just the 11th U.S. player to reach that number of appearances.

The U.S. women, winners of last year’s World Cup and ranked No. 1 in the world, are vying for their fourth straight Olympic gold medal. Along with the tournament-opening victory over New Zealand, the United States is in good position for the quarterfinals.

France, ranked No. 3, was considered the Americans’ biggest rival in the group. And they proved a tenacious foe.

Carli Lloyd’s goal finally broke through in the 64th minute against France goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi.

Tobin Heath’s shot caromed off the post and while Bouhaddi struggled to recover, Lloyd tapped in the rebound for her eighth Olympic goal.

“Never forget that the U.S. is the world champion,” French coach Philippe Bergeroo said.

For the first half, it was all Solo.

She tipped Wendie Renard’s header from a free kick off the crossbar in the 16th minute. Her most dramatic stop came in the 41st when Marie-Laure Delie charged in alone and Solo collapsed to her knees to smother the shot.

“She was getting free, and I knew she was going to crack a shot as soon as she saw the goal, so I just tried to close her as quickly as I could. And I as I closed her – some people think

United States’ goalkeeper Hope Solo (left) makes a save as France’s Maire-Laure Delie looks on during a Group G match of the women’s Olympic football tournament between United States and France on Saturday at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. she went through my legs on purpose because it was the only part that was open because I had her closed down – I don’t really think so, I think she just tried to crack a shot,” Solo said.

The 200th cap was Solo’s latest accomplishment in a 16-year international career.

Last month, she became the first goalkeeper with 100 international shutouts when the United States defeated South Africa, 1-0, at Soldier Field in Chicago. It was also her 150th career win.

Solo won her second straight Golden Glove Award for the best goalkeeper at the Women’s World Cup a year ago. Over the course of the tournament in Canada, she had five clean sheets and allowed only three goals in seven games.

She irked some Brazilians before the games started when she posted a photo of herself decked out in mosquito netting and armed with insecticide, with the caption: “Not sharing this!!! Get your own! (hashtag) zikaproof.” As a result, fans at Mineirao Stadium have booed her every time she touched the ball.

But following Saturday’s match, Solo had apparently turned some of the fans in her favor. While the team was cooling down in the end zone area, the crowd could be heard chanting “Hope! Hope! Hope!”

“I’m just being myself playing soccer,” she said. “They can love me or hate me, I’m just going to continue doing the same things.”

The players said the boos were not a distraction as the team was focused on becoming the first to win at an Olympics following a World Cup title.

U.S. coach Jill Ellis made a couple of changes in her lineup for the match. Whitney Engen came in for defender Julie Johnston, who is out with groin soreness, and Crystal Dunn came in for Mallory Pugh, who hurt an ankle in the opener.

But the most stunning lineup change was made by France, which did not start star Eugenie Le Sommer, who scored in France’s 4-0 victory over Colombia. It was not clear whether Le Sommer was injured.

With the victory, the United States improves to 16-0-1 this year. Lloyd’s goal was her 11th of the year and 90th of her career. She also scored in the opener against New Zealand.

“I think the crowd only gets going when Hope has the ball,” Lloyd said about the atmosphere. “I think they’re having fun with it at this point. They’ll probably go for the whole tournament.”

U.S. men romp past China in opener

The United States’ Kevin Durant (5) drives past China’s Zou Peng on Saturday during the opening basketball game of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil squad has already bonded as much as any of the three U.S. teams he has led in the Olympics.

Durant was 10 of 14 from the field and made five 3-pointers.

Tougher competition might come later, but it should be an easy start for the Americans. They play again Monday against Venezuela, another team they beat easily in exhibition play.

Anthony finished with nine points and made by history becoming the

first U.S. male to play basketball in four Olympics. He will become the first three-time gold medalist on the men’s side if the U.S. wins.

The 32-year-old veteran tied LeBron James and David Robinson by playing in his 24th game in the Olympics.

The Americans beat the Chinese twice in exhibition play by scores of 106-57 and 107-57, and this one was even less competitive.

2016 OLYMPICS ROUNDUP

Games begin in full, with U.S. teen on target for 1st gold

By ARNIE STAPLETON The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – The Olympics began in full with the first gold medal going to an American teenager by the fearsome name of Thrasher. And there was fear and plenty of rough riding on a punishing cycling course that showed the beauty and blight of the host city.

The men’s 400-meter individual medley is the marquee race in Saturday night’s swimming program even without two of the sport’s biggest stars. Michael Phelps, the world record holder and two-time Olympic champion, dropped the race for his fifth games and defending champ Ryan Lochte didn’t qualify.

Virginia Thrasher, a 19-year-old who once had her heart set on figure skating, captured the 10-meter air rifle Saturday. Greg Van Avermaet of Belgium won the grueling road race that left cyclists tending to scrapes, bruises and road rash.

Riders rolled off to the sound of crashing waves on Copacabana Beach on a steamy morning hours after Brazil’s high-energy opening party featuring thumping funk, sultry samba and supermodel Gisele Bundchen sauntering to the tune of “The Girl from Ipanema.”

Showcasing Rio’s famed beaches and majestic mountains, the men’s road race began under clear, sunny skies buzzing with helicopters – some carrying TV cameras, others

from the military to provide security.

The brutality of the course became evident over the cobblestone sectors that rattled one cyclist off his bike, cost another his chain and forced Tour de France champion Chris Froome to change out his broken bike.

Van Avermaet out-sprinted Jakob Fuglsang and Rafal Majka on the long run to the finish at sun-splashed Copacabana Beach after Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali and Colombia’s Sergio Henao crashed while trying to navigate a corner on the final harrowing descent of the six-hour race.

Thousands of police and soldiers were patrolling the city amid concerns about safety as athletes opened

the first full day of the Olympics in more than 20 sports a day after some spectators at the opening ceremony came upon the body of a man who had been shot dead near Maracana Stadium.

On Saturday, there was a scare during the break at the evening dressage at the Olympic Equestrian Center as a military-looking bullet pierced the roof of the tent and landed on the floor near startled reporters. The competition was not disrupted and nobody was hurt.

Brazilian military and police called it “an unfortunate incident,” one that came shortly after bomb-disposal experts blew up an unattended bag near the finish line of the men’s road cycling race.

• Sunday, August 7, 2016

RIO DE JANEIRO – Kevin Durant looks ready to lead a new group of Americans to the gold-medal podium.

Durant picked up right where he left off in the 2012 Olympics with 25 points, and the U.S. men’s basketball team routed China, 119-62, on Saturday night in its opening game.

The new Golden State Warriors star scored 30 points four years ago in the gold-medal game, when the Americans held off Spain for the championship. Only he and Carmelo Anthony returned from that team, but the new guys were plenty ready for their Olympic moment.

“We just wanted to send a statement to the rest of the world,” Anthony said. “Come out this first game and let everybody know that we’re focused, we’re locked in, and we’re about business on this trip.”

DeMarcus Cousins added 17 points and Paul George 15 for the U.S., which is a heavy favorite to win a third straight gold and won’t change any opinions after this performance.

LeBron James and Chris Paul passed on searching for more gold with Durant and Anthony, and plenty more top players who would have been on this roster also declined.

But coach Mike Krzyzewski said this

had 25 points to open his fourth Olympics. No other players were in double figures for the Asian champions.

“As a matter of fact, the result of this game was already kind of expected before the game even started,” China coach Luming Gong said through an interpreter.

Durant, Anthony, Cousins, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson started the game for the Americans, and all 12 players scored. They had 31 assists on their 38 baskets.

The Chinese got on the board first with a pair of free throws, and it was tied at 4 after a basket by Yi. Then it was nine straight points for the Americans, who closed the first quarter with a 26-6 burst to lead 30-10.

DeAndre Jordan shook the backboards inside Carioca Arena 1 with some of his powerful dunks, DeMar DeRozan had a couple, and in case the dunks were too easy, Irving knocked in four 3-pointers in the second half for his 12 points.

There were flags waving and fans singing, the festive scene in the stands more interesting to watch than the game that wasn’t competitive after the first few minutes.

The U.S. was favored by about 50 points, so it wasn’t supposed to be close.

If the Americans keep playing like this, the Olympic competition may not, either.

Slammers win twice at Southern Illinois STAFF REPORTS

MARION – Friday’s opener between Frontier League divisional leaders Joliet and Southern Illinois easily went to the Slammers, who used an early 8-1 lead to claim a 12-4 victory.

After the Miners got a measure of revenge by scoring twice in the ninth to claim a 9-7 win in the two-inning completion of a suspended game from July 21, Joliet again used a fast start in Saturday’s scheduled game by scoring three runs apiece in the second and third. innings.

That helped Jeff Isom’s squad capture a 7-2 win, which boosted the Slammers’ lead for first place in the East Division to five games over Windy City and 5 1⁄2 games over Washing-

ton.

In the second inning, Jake Gronsky (2 for 3) doubled, Carter Bell reached on an error, Marc Flores (2 for 4, three RBIs) got an run-scoring double and Casey Fletcher added a two-run double to make it a 3-0 contest.

One frame later, Alfredo Rodriguez and Zarley Zalewski started things with singles before Bell drove in a run with a two-out single.

Flores then doubled in two more runs against starter Corey Sessions, who allowed six runs on seven hits in five innings.

Starter Chris Rice allowed no runs through five innings before the Miners (47-24) scored twice in the sixth. He allowed one earned run on three hits and struck out five in six in-

nings.

Joliet (39-32) was back it in the seventh inning when Rodriguez and Zalewski both drew walks and Gronsky doubled home a run to give their team a 7-2 advantage. Kevin Simmons only allowed one hit in the bottom of the seventh to wrap things up.

In the completion of the suspended game, Aaron Gates singled in a pair of runs in the ninth.

On Friday, Shane Bryant allowed two runs on five hits in six innings to collect the victory. Bell had three hits and drove in two runs while Melvin Rodriguez (homer, two RBIs), Charlie White, Alfredo Rodriguez, Phil Bates (two RBIs), Fletcher (two RBIs) and Zalewski all had two hits.

NFL HALL OF FAME

Harrison, Pace enter Pro Football Hall of Fame

By BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press

CANTON, Ohio – Brilliant moves and brutal strength.

Marvin Harrison epitomized the first, Orlando Pace exemplified the second.

Together, they entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Harrison, the Marvin r e c o r d - s e t t i n g Harrison wide receiver for the Colts, and Pace, a powerful offensive force at left tackle for the Rams, were the first members of the eightman class of 2016 inducted into the hall.

Harrison’s 143 receptions in 2002 are an NFL record. He retired in 2008 with 1,102 catches,

now third behind Jerry Rice and Tony Gonzalez. He had eight consecutive seasons with at least 1,100 yards receiving for Indianapolis, and won a Super Bowl in February 2007. His receptions, 14,608 yards and 128 touchdowns are all Colts franchise records.

He topped the 100-catch mark four straight Orlando times as PeyPace ton Manning’s prime target.

He came full circle on Saturday.

“I worked extremely hard to get to this point,” said the Colts’ first-round draft choice in 1996.

“I played my first NFL game right on this very field.”

Harrison made eight Pro

Bowls, was a three-time All-Pro, and missed only 18 games in 13 NFL seasons.

Pace was the blocking cornerstone of the Rams’ Greatest Show on Turf that won the 1999 NFL title.

The top overall draft pick in 1997, he helped turn running back Marshall Faulk and quarterback Kurt Warner into NFL MVPs, and now is a Hall of Famer.

Like Harrison, he had memories of the Canton shrine, too, recalling visiting the hall when he was 13.

“This occasion marks the fulfilment of each and every goal I have had,” Pace said of his athletic career. “This became my first goal, and here I am 27 years later standing in Canton, Ohio, accepting this incredible honor.”

Project Me effort provides supplies for kids in need

n WHAT: Project Me-Study Buddy Workshop n WHEN: 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 7 n WHERE: American Legion Post 1080, 2625 Ingalls Ave., Joliet n ETC: Free school supplies and backpacks for foster kids and kids in need, $13 Study Buddy Workshop for any child ages 2 to 15. Donations of additional school supplies accepted at the event. n CALL: 815 531-5875

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

JOLIET – Kristin Violante lives in Willow Springs, but when a friend from high school posted a request on Facebook, Violante was in.

Violante’s friend, Janet Palkon of Joliet, was collecting suitcases and backpacks, which she was filling with personal care supplies and small games for kids entering the foster care system.

Palkon, who became a foster parent in 2013, along with her husband, Bob Palkon, said one of her former teen foster children initially suggested the idea. Janet calls her endeavor Project Me. “This just struck a chord with me,” Violante said. “As a parent who wants nothing but the best for her kids, it broke my heart that kids were being taken out of their homes with a little plastic bag of stuff.”

On Sunday, Janet is hosting a Project Me-Study Buddy Workshop from 1 to 4 p.m. at American Legion Post 1080. At the event, Janet will distribute free backpacks of school supplies to foster children and kids in the community who need them.

Janet is still accepting donations of additional school supplies, and encourages community members to bring them to the event. She wants to ensure any child who needs supplies gets them.

“I have enough backpacks and I want to fill them,” she said. “I don’t want to put in one pencil and one folder. I want to make it pretty much what they need for the year.”

So far, 35 foster children are preregistered for the event, Janet said, but any child between the ages of 2 and 15 can participate in the Study Buddy workshop for $15.

Kids will create their Study Buddies (a stuffed animal), write their goals for the upcoming school year and tuck it inside the critter.

Proceeds from the workshop help purchase more supplies for foster children. There are plenty of Study Buddy supplies available for any child wishing to make one, Janet said, thanks to her home-based business.

Janet Palkon uses aspects of her traveling stuffed animal business to help foster children and kids in need.

“I have a birthday party business that helps buy more supplies for Project Me,” Janet said. “It’s like ‘Build a Bear’ on wheels. We come to the house and do the birthday party.”

But Janet’s birthday party business is more than a way to fund Project Me, and it’s more than the Study

Buddy program. Like Project Me, the business has community outreach elements.

“We started two or three years ago when I read in The Herald-News about a little boy with a heart ailment who lost his stuffed animal,” Janet said.

Janet said after she contacted the

family, Bob showed up dressed as a monkey and brought an animal for the boy to make and stuff. She has also hosted stuffed animal workshops at day camps and nursing homes, Janet said. Whenever she hears of someone in need, Janet delivers a stuffed animal.

Jaime Halteman of Romeoville said she was a vendor at a Project Me event. When she met Janet and her foster children, Halteman said Janet’s vision “tugged at her heart.”

Since then, Halteman has bought and collected school supplies and worked registration at events. She said she admires Janet and Bob’s commitment to foster children.

“It’s made me see outside my own little world,” Halteman said.

During the holiday season, Janet collects and delivers gifts to foster children. At Easter, Joliet-area kids in need receive a visit from the Easter bunny. This past year, Bob said he and Janet visited 104 homes. They each wore a costume and split the visits.

One stop was especially memorable for Bob. “I hopped around the backyard chasing a live bunny for the kids,” Bob said.

Bob, who will appear in the monkey suit at the Project Me event, said some kids “get it” and realize he’s a person in a suit. But others are enthralled and can’t wait to share news of their lives.

He likes bringing happiness to kids, especially kids in foster care and kids fighting serious illnesses or challenges.

“That translates into my happiness, as well,” Bob said.

BOLINGBROOK – On July 31, Fountaindale Public Library District celebrated its first Smart Horizons Career Online High School (COHS) graduates, Teresa Raymond, Ryan Callihan and Lynae Cliff, in a ceremony featuring keynote speaker Sen. Pat McGuire and other guests.

These graduates are not only Fountaindale’s first of the program, they are also the first individuals in the state of Illinois to receive their high school diploma through their library.

In 2014, Fountaindale became the third public library in the country to offer this initiative through grant funding from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and the Clinton Global Initiative.

This funding allowed Fountaindale the opportunity to award 75 COHS scholarships to prospective students and made the dream of receiving a high school diploma without financial burden a reality.

Graduate Teresa Raymond earned her diploma in the career field of Office Management. She began her studies in April 2015 and completed her diploma in May. Ryan Callihan earned his diploma in the career field of Food and Customer Service Skills. He began his studies in March 2015 and completed his diploma in July.

Lynae Cliff earned her diploma in the career field of Retail Management. She began her studies in February of this year and completed a diploma in July – the fastest completion rate Fountaindale has seen in the program.

Today, Fountaindale has 30 COHS students, and with the advent of the Reaching Across Illinois Library System’s initiative, another 10 Illinois libraries will be offering Career Online High School in their districts later this year.

For more information about this partnership, visit fountaindale.org/programs/career-online-highschool.

Joliet Township students compete in engine challenge The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – On July 30, Joliet Township High School Engine Team members traveled to Route 66 Raceway to participate in the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge, a nationwide high school engine-building competition, in which the team with the fastest time including penalty minutes wins.

JTHS students Ulises Carreno, Martin Chavez, Jeff Law, Jimmy Miller and Tony Tokarczyk participated in the competition, earning a time of 28:54 with no penalties and

garnering the attention of competition judges.

Central teacher and engine building coach Milton George expressed pride in the team, noting that the JTHS team gained respect based on their performance.

Although the JTHS team did not qualify for the next round, the judges praise regarding speed and considerable potential speaks volumes.

The engine team is preparing to participate in the SEMA show, the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world, Nov. 1 to Nov. 4 in Las Vegas.

Biofeedback can control body Dear Dr. K: Sometimes you recommend biofeedback as treatment. What exactly is it? What is it like to go through it?

Dear Reader: Biofeedback is a technique that helps you monitor and control how your body responds to external stimuli.

By learning to control certain functions, you can improve your medical condition, relieve chronic pain, reduce stress, or improve your physical or mental performance.

During biofeedback training, a therapist attaches sensors to your body. The type and placement of sensors varies according to what is being measured. Sensors can detect changes in everything from your heart rate, skin temperature or muscle tension to your brain-wave patterns.

The machine then translates its measurements into a form of immediate “feedback.” You might see the feedback as a blinking light, a beeping sound or a graph.

Let’s say your goal is to reduce neck, shoulder and upper back pain. Biofeedback can help you recognize when you are increasing the tension in the muscles in your back, neck, shoulders or head. Tension can increase without your knowing it. By learning that it is, you can take steps to relax your muscles before you experience pain.

Or say you are learning to control your breathing when you are in pain. Many biofeedback machines show an image of a balloon on their screens. As you breathe in and out, the balloon inflates and deflates.

The screen displays your target rate, so you can tell if you are breathing too fast. As you gain control over the target body function, you’ll be weaned off the machine.

After each session, you’ll get an assignment to practice at home. As with most skills, regular practice is essential to success.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Biofeedback is effective for certain types of urinary and fecal incontinence. It helps with anal pain related to excessive muscle contractions and constipation caused by problems with the muscles in the anus. It also helps people who suffer from Raynaud’s phenomenon, tension headaches and fibromyalgia.

Permit me to digress a bit about the body sensor technology, such as that used in biofeedback. Body sensors, and the machines they talk to, are electronic devices.

Like all electronics – from computers to smartphones – devices keep getting smaller and more powerful. Already there are sensors that attach to the skin and are so small you barely notice them.

They send messages about your body through wireless signals to machines that interpret them.

Some experts predict that body sensors soon will have implications way beyond biofeedback. In particular, people with certain chronic illnesses may soon be constantly monitored, day and night. Examples of illnesses that may be constantly monitored include irregular heart rhythms and epilepsy. The monitoring will spot early warning signs and collect information that affects treatment.

It may sound a little like Big Brother, but it could become a valuable aid in diagnosing and treating disease. For some people, I think it will be lifesaving.

Woman learns she has HIV but refuses to inform her ex Dear Abby : My friend “Camilla” recently learned she is HIV positive.

She became aware of it through a blood test, as she is pregnant. The baby’s father has been tested and he was negative. Her future health is of no concern because the situation is under control. Camilla hasn’t been unfaithful, and it is clear she has been HIV positive for some time.

My issue is, she refuses to contact her previous lover about her condition, even though she likely got it from him. Her ex may have no idea he is positive and may not find out until it is too late.

Abby, I understand her concern and embarrassment, but I think her ex deserves to know. Should I contact him anonymously? I know his name and could find his contact information. I feel strongly he should know, so he can be tested and go on medication. I would, of course, be doing this behind my friend’s back. – Conflicted

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips In The USA Dear Conflicted: I took your question

to Ged Kenslea, director of communications for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, and this is his response: “At the time of her diagnosis, Camilla should have been urged to contact her previous partners. It’s standard procedure, and not something that a health care worker would just ‘skip’ doing. As well-meaning as the writer is to want to inform Camilla’s previous lover about her condition, it’s not appropriate on an individual level to interfere in this situation.

There are confidentiality as well as safety issues involved that could bring hurt feelings, harm and possible legal liability to those involved in the

NEIGHBOR

disclosure.

“A better option might be to contact the county health department where the individual resides to see if it has the capacity to contact the individual, let that person know there may be a health issue he or she could be facing and urge him/her to get tested and linked to care, if necessary – all without disclosing who contacted the county with that information.”

Dear Abby: My daughters resent my second wife. My first wife died two years ago. When I remarried, it caused some friction with my daughters because they want my house when I die. In my will, should I give the house to my daughters with the stipulation that my present wife can live there for the rest of her life? – Undecided Estate

your wishes in writing. Be sure it’s official, “just in case” your daughters decide they want the house a little early.

Dear Abby: I have worked as an armed guard for the last two years.

Since the beginning, whenever people find out what I do for a living, one of their first comments is, “Wouldn’t it be funny if you got robbed?”

I know these people are being facetious, but it bothers me. I don’t think they would find it funny if I were to joke about shooting them. Is there a polite way to discourage this, or should I just grin, bear it and chuckle?

sure your new wife she’ll have a roof over her head, talk to an attorney who specializes in wills and trusts and put

it off, or you might keep a straight face and say, “It wouldn’t be so funny if I or someone else got hurt.”

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent.

So, if you’re 50 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.

Screening really does save lives!

Sir William Osler, a Canadian physician and cofounder of Johns Hopkins Hospital, said, “Shut out all of your past except that which will help you weather your tomorrows.”

That is fine if what you need now did happen in your past, so you can draw on that experience. A tougher problem to solve occurs when you have never faced it before. At the bridge table, these situations usually separate experts from less good players.

If you would like to experience something out of the ordinary, look only at the West and North hands.

West leads the club queen against four spades. When East encourages with the nine, West continues with his second club. East takes that trick with his king and cashes the club ace, South following with the jack. How should West plan the defense?

Over East’s raise to three diamonds, South might have rebid three hearts, since it was possible that North had more hearts than spades.

But South, judging that he would do better not to spill his hand to the defenders, jumped to four spades.

Sitting West was Harry Fishbein, a colorful character who always wore a beret. If South had a diamond, a shift to that suit would work.

However, what if South were void in diamonds? A fourth round of clubs from East would promote West’s spade queen as the setting trick. But how could West get East to lead a club, not a diamond?

Fishbein discarded his diamond ace!

East also got an assist award because over two spades, he bid three clubs, not three diamonds -- clever.
