bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Former Joliet Park District Executive Director Dominic Egizio is denying most of the allegations made in a sexual harassment lawsuit, but acknowledges some sort of relationship with a former employee, according to a response filed this week in federal court. In its own filing, the Joliet Park District is denying nearly all allegations and demanding a jury trial on the lawsuit filed in June by former park district trainer Jeanetta Matichak. The responses, which More online were filed separately Monday and Tuesday, Visit this indicate there was a article at TheHe- relationship between rald-News.com Egizio and Matichak. But the responses to view the court filings made this conflict on what the week in this case. park board knew about the relationship and what key board members told Egizio. Egizio was put on administrative leave for several weeks before resigning in October after the park board hired a law firm to conduct an investigation into the situation. He is now director of parks and recreation with the Midlothian Park District. In his response, Egizio denies some of the most damaging allegations made in Matichak’s initial filing, including that he stalked Matichak, threatened her, and

“that there were rumors that Egizio was having sex with Ms. Matichak.” The response also says that the board “did not conduct an investigation.” But Egizio denies that Schultz made a lewd, congratulatory comment to him that is alleged in the Matichak lawsuit. The Egizio response also says that Marcum “did not tell Egizio to stop compelling sex with a subordinate, and further denies that Defendant was compelling sex with a subordinate.” The park district response denies the alleged comments by Marcum and Schultz regarding rumors of a sexual relationship. The park district response does not deny any relationship between Egizio and Matichak. But it does attempt to separate the park district from whatever relationship might have occurred. At one point, the park district response states “that any acts of misconduct alleged against Dominic Egizio were committed outside the scope of any agency and/or employment relationship with the Park District.” The lawsuit filed by Matichak contends that Egizio’s alleged conduct was tolerated by top management, including the park board, and calls for a number of actions, including sexual harassment training overseen by a court monitor. Matichak also is seeking reinstatement in her job as trainer. She has been put on indefinite medical leave. The park district’s response denies all actions sought by Matichak.

The event, which will be from 7 to 8 p.m. Aug. 22 at the JTHS Administrative Center, 300 Caterpillar Drive in Joliet, kicks off a series of conversations that will be held throughout the year where the community can meet Board of Education members, key JTHS leaders and the superintendent, according to a news release from the district. The Coffee and Conversation series is open to parents, students, staff and community members. There is no structured agenda, and guests can arrive and leave at any time.

on one occasion committed a sexual assault at a hotel where he urged her to drink too much. Egizio also denies openly making lewd remarks in front of other employees Dominic and compelling Matichak Egizio to have sex at work. But his response does acknowledge conduct that would go beyond the normal relationship between a supervisor and employee. Egizio “admits that he gave Plaintiff some clothing and a sex toy,” his response states at one point. Egizio also acknowledges talking with Matichak “many times a day.” The response also acknowledges that Matichak brought Egizio a letter from her husband asking Egizio to leave her alone. But Egizio denies other allegations, including that he used his authority to coerce Matichak to have sex with him. The park district response goes further in its denials, to the point that the response denies board member conversations that Egizio says did happen. “Defendant admits that in or about March or April 2015, Park District Board President Glen Marcum told Defendant Egizio that there were rumors that he was having sex with Plaintiff,” the response states. He also admits telling Matichak that Art Schultz Jr., who was then vice president of the park board, mentioned to him

REALIZING THE VISION

JJC moves ahead with more facilities, partnerships, funding challenges By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College Interim President Judy Mitchell gave her first State of the College address Thursday that summarized the immense changes JJC has undergone in the past several years. Amid the growing number of facilities, new partnerships, shifting student demographics and state funding challenges, JJC embarked on creating a new strategic plan to meet these changes. At her inaugural address, Mitchell read the new vision statement – that JJC will be the first choice for students, employers and employees and others – and asked attendees to help meet that goal. “This is all of us together,” Mitchell said to a crowd of local leaders and JJC staff. “Each of you here today can help us achieve and realize our vision, our mission and ourselves for our community.”

Joliet set to negotiate Union Station banquet room contract with Mistwood “We aren’t out there looking for additional venues. When this opportunity arose, there was something about The Grand Ballroom that appealed to us. It’s unique.”

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – City staff will negotiate a contract with Mistwood Golf Club to take over the banquet room at Union Station in January. The Joliet City Council Economic Development Committee gave the OK on Thursday to negotiate a contract that eventually will have to be approved by the full council. Mistwood plans to develop events beyond weddings and banquets to bring more people to Union Station, a plan that appeals to city officials. “We thought that these folks just had an incredible vision for the place,” said Steve Jones, the city’s economic development director. The Romeoville golf club does weddings and other events now at The Great Hall at Mistwood Golf Club. It also runs McWerthy’s Tavern at the club. It also runs McQ’s, a sports dome with a restaurant and bar in Bolingbrook. Mistwood was one of three businesses that responded to the city search for banquet operators and caterers to take over The Grand Ballroom at Union Station. Bussean Custom Caterers, which has run the facility since 2001, is leaving in mid-January. “We aren’t out there looking for additional venues,” Mistwood General Manager Dan Bradley told the

The Grand Ballroom at Joliet Union Station banquet facility is seen in May 2015. City staff will negotiate a contract with Mistwood Golf Club to take over the banquet room. committee. “When this opportunity arose, there was something about The Grand Ballroom that appealed to us. It’s unique.” The city received proposals from Mistwood and Cutting Edge Caterers in Shorewood. Committee Chairman Larry Hug said both Mistwood and Cutting Edge “have fine reputations in cuisine.” But

city officials liked Mistwood’s plans for events beyond weddings and banquets. “It was what they were going to outside of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the typical days that you book,” Hug said. Bradley suggested holiday brunches, craft beer events and wine tastings as a few possibilities that could draw more people into Union Station

throughout the year. Mistwood has proposed a six-year lease that would pay at least $1,500 a month. The city would receive 15 percent of gross sales up to $500,000, 10 percent of revenues between $500,000 and $750,000, and 5 percent of revenues above $750,000. Union Station is a landmark limestone train station that opened in 1912. The city shut Union Station as a train facility two years ago when commuter platforms were moved to the other side of the tracks where a new train station will be built. Mistwood is one of two new businesses moving in. Two entrepreneurs are converting a section of the lower level of Union Station to a brew pub to be named MyGrain Brewing Co. The banquet room is on the second floor.

Independent movie to be filmed in Joliet SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – An independent production company is set to start shooting a movie in Joliet and is seeking extras, as well as unique filming locations and vehicles for use in the film. The fantasy/comedy movie “Kingfisher” takes place in a fictional town of the same name and involves ghosts, witches and a werewolf, among others. It will be directed by Chicago native Austin Vesely, according to a news release from the city. “We are very excited that this production will come to Joliet and will feature our citizens and showcase the sites and scenery of our community.

Movie productions are a vital part of our city’s economic development efforts,” Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said in the news release. Vesely has directed award-winning music videos, including “Angels” by Chance the Rapper, which is nominated for “Best Hip Hop Video” at the upcoming 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. “We are very happy that this film is being made in the wonderful city of Joliet and in the great state of Illinois,” Brett Hays, one of the movie’s producers and a principal at Champaign’s Shatterglass Films, said in the news release. “We look forward to working with Joliet city officials

on this venture, and we have already received a warm welcome and offers of assistance from them.” Joliet Assistant City Manager Steve Jones said working with the production company will be a great way to showcase Joliet to those who have not visited the city. “We like to roll out the red carpet to filmmakers and look forward to helping make ‘Kingfisher’ a successful endeavor,” he said in the news release. The production will use local talent in the movie and feature unique Joliet area locations and vehicles in the film, according to the news release, and also is seeking volunteers to as-

sist. Opportunities are as follows: • Those interested in being an extra should send their name, age, a picture, their availability, and an email address and phone number to extra@ shatterglassfilms.com. • Those who think they have a home or office that would make a good film shot location, or who have an interesting vehicle that could be used in the filming, should email a picture to location@shatterglassfilms.com. • Those 16 and older interested in being a movie volunteer or intern should send their name, age and contact information to volunteer@shatterglassfilms.com.

Ex-Naperville teacher wants indictment on grooming charge tossed By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The lawyer for a former Neuqua Valley High School teacher said a grand jury was misinformed when it indicted him for allegedly trying to have a sexual relationship with a student. Defense attorney Kristine Honiotes told Judge Dave Carlson during an appearance Thursday at the Will County Courthouse that the answers John S. Desmond, 38, gave to Naperville police during an interview didn’t match what prosecutors and detectives presented to get an indictment on a sexual grooming charge. Desmond, of Darien, was an English teacher at the high school from 2009 until he resigned in July 2015 – just days after coming under investigation. Will County Assistant State’s Attorney John Connor said Desmond sent emails to a then-16-year-old girl “for the purposes of developing an inappropriate relationship.” Desmond’s police interview was recorded, and Honiotes said prosecutors “asked for the gist of [his] statement”

while the detective testified. “He’s not admitting he wants to have a sexual relationship,” Honiotes argued. “When asked why he allowed the emails to continue, he said, ‘It’s an excellent question’ and one he doesn’t have an answer for.” Desmond then was asked if the emails were progressing to a physical relationship and said he should get an attorney before answering more questions, according to Honiotes. But to the grand jury, “they have the defendant admitting to an element of the offense,” she said. Connor told Carlson the questions asked of a detective were “sloppy,” but responding to the question “These emails were designed to continue the relationship?” with “Yes, they were” and “And he was seeking a sexual relationship?” with “Correct” were not based just on Desmond’s answers. Carlson said he will decide later this month whether the indictment against Desmond should be dismissed and whether prosecutors could present the case to another grand jury if they wanted.

The driver of the Buick died at the scene, and the truck driver was shaken up but refused medical treatment, Hoffmeyer said. “At this time, deputies believe that the deceased driver did not see the stop sign because of the very thick and heavy fog that was present in the area,” she said.

Will County Board nears lease agreement with 911 ETSB board By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A lease agreement between Will County and the Will County 911 Emergency Telephone System Board for space at the new Will County Public Safety Complex is in the final stages. Will County Executive Office Chief of Staff Nick Palmer outlined details of the agreement Thursday at the County Board’s Executive Committee meeting. He and Steve Figved, chief administrator of Will County 911 ETSB, have been negotiating parameters of the agreement. Palmer said, and Figved confirmed via phone after the meeting, that the agreement would be for 15 years, with Will County 911 ETSB having the option to add on another five years when the initial agreement ends. Over the 15 years, Will County

911 ETSB would pay Will County about $2.6 million. Palmer said the county will receive $160,000 each of the first three years, followed by 2 percent increases in years four and five, then 1.5 percent increases in years six through 15. Terms can be renegotiated for a new deal after year 15. The Executive Committee was supportive of the agreement’s outline. Attorneys now will fine-tune agreement’s wording before it is presented Aug. 25 to the Will County 911 ETSB Board for a vote. Figved said the Will County Board would vote sometime after that. Figved said the contract works for both sides. It allows Will County to recoup the cost of construction for the 911 ETSB administrative portion of the building along with some maintenance costs, while giving the agency a much

better place to work. “I’m pleased with the county’s cooperation and that they saw the need for a better home for 911,” Figved said. “It’s nice to have a campus where it will all be combined on one site.” What was originally just a new sheriff’s facility became a much larger project – in the $30-million range – when the county offered in January to add on 911 ETSB administrative offices and a large, consolidated public-safety answering point center that potentially would house dispatchers for the county, Romeoville, Crete and Frankfort areas. This is in order to meet the state’s plan to revamp the funding and setup of 911 emergency response systems. However, there is no agreement yet between the public-safety answering point agencies and the county.

Plainfield Park District Board president

District, so the board thought it would be a good time to make a change and name Bott’s favorite park after him, based on a resident’s suggestion. “We wanted to name this park after him because we knew this was his favorite,” Ludemann said. It’s special to Bott, Ludemann said, because of all the entities – governments, developers, residents, the Lions Club and more – that came together to make it happen. Bott oversaw it all. Ludemann said Bott always believed in the role that parks and recreation plays in the overall well-being of people and a community. In the past three decades, Bott played a huge part in making sure parks were integrated

into Plainfield’s development from a small farming community to a suburban village of 30,000-plus people. “He oversaw the district through tremendous growth,” Ludemann said. “He wanted to develop and maintain open natural areas so it wasn’t just wall-to-wall housing.” Throughout Bott’s time as executive director, Ludemann said the district was able to cut taxes on several occasions, and he made sure the district was financially solvent with adequate staffing to maintain great

PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Township Park District is renaming one of its parks after a longtime employee and executive director of the district. Renwick Community Park, 24550 W. Renwick Road in Plainfield, will be renamed in a short ceremony at 11 a.m. Saturday. The new title will be Gregory B. Bott Community Park, in honor of Bott’s 32 years of service at the Plainfield Park District and his integral role in the acquisition and development of the park. Bott started in a maintenance position and worked his way up to become executive director, until he was controversially ousted a month before retirement by what was, at the time, a newly elected majority vote in May 2013. Plainfield Park District Board President Mary Kay Ludemann, who entered that role after former President Peter Hurtado’s term ended, said the old board majority chose to name the oft-flooded River Edge Park after Bott. But this year is the 50th anniversary of the Plainfield Township Park

“He oversaw the district through tremendous growth. He wanted to develop and maintain open natural areas so it wasn’t just wall-to-wall housing.”

10 MINOOKA

Minooka teen to compete in Ice Box Derby Minooka Community High School sophomore Peyton Kellinger is turning an old refrigerator into a solar-powered car to compete at ComEd’s Ice Box Derby, which is scheduled for Saturday at the Field Museum in Chicago. Shown helping guide her is ComEd engineer Dara Randerson.

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – This Saturday, Minooka sophomore Peyton Kellinger will be competing in a rather unusual race – the third annual Ice Box Derby, sponsored by ComEd and held at the Field Museum in Chicago. The competition is a timed race, but the competitors won’t be running, biking, swimming or using any other of your more common methods of locomotion. Instead, they will be driving refrigerators. Well, fridges that will have been turned into solar-powered cars by race day. “It’s so exciting,” Kellinger said. “I can’t wait. For as long as I remember, I’ve always been into STEM.” Kellinger was chosen out of a large pool of applicants to participate in the derby, which is designed to encourage young women who have interests in STEM fields, which are those rooted in science, technology, engineering or math. The percentage of women who go into such careers is discouragingly low; ComEd statistics indicate it is fewer than 25 percent.

Kellinger always has been interested in technology and engineering. Her mother, Jennifer, said her daughter still has little Matchbox cars she “converted” to solar-powered cars by taping little white squares of paper on top of them during her preschool years. One Christmas, she asked her parents for a kit to build a pneumatic car. She couldn’t wait to get started and

worked on it all of Christmas break, her mother said. Kellinger was in the Math and Science Club at Minooka Junior High School and is taking Tech Explorations II at MCHS this year. In the Ice Box Derby, 30 young women ages 13 to 18, and organized into six teams of five each, are given old refrigerators to make into solar cars. The ComEd team already had taken out

the motors and made strategic cuts for doors and other needs. The teams meet for two weeks to hear speakers and derby directions, meet their teammates and turn their fridges into what they hope will be the fastest race vehicles in the competition. Kellinger is on the Violet Velocity team, with four teens who are all from Chicago. She said it is a great matchup and that her team is focused on building the best vehicle to win the race. Each of the teams will transform its refrigerator into a solar-powered race car that will have two 30-watt solar panels to power such accessories as LED headlights, a car horn and a helmet with two-way communication capabilities. The solar charge control module will be used to communicate between the panels and the solar components. Teams are assisted by a host of female ComEd engineers as the prepare for the race. Those who were chosen for the Ice Box Derby will receive a college scholarship. Members on the winning team will receive an additional scholarship and a laptop computer.

Private partners sought for I-55 toll lane The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – State transportation officials are asking private partners to help develop an express toll lane on Interstate 55 in the Chicago area. The Illinois Department of Transportation issued a request Thursday for private parties to assist with the new toll lanes planned to run 25 miles from Bolingbrook to Chicago. Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn said working with the private sector will teach the department best

practices for similar projects and potentially save taxpayer money. IDOT said enlisting private developers would defray the estimated $425 million project cost. Private partners would handle design, building, operating and managing the toll lanes. The Chicago Tribune reported that about 170,000 vehicles a day travel the stretch of road. The new toll express lanes would be added to an existing median between Interstate 355 and Interstate 90-94.

Monee mayor accused of hitting umpire The ASSOCIATED PRESS MONEE – The mayor Monee is out on bail after surrendering to face two counts of felony aggravated battery for allegedly slugging an umpire at a youth baseball game. WLS-TV reported that Jay Farquhar turned himself in Monday afternoon to New Lenox Police. Will County prosecutors said an arrest warrant for Farquhar was is-

sued Friday in connection with a June incident in which youth umpire Tim Nelson alleges Farquhar, a coach, punched him in the face and broke his jaw. Authorities said the two began arguing after Nelson didn’t call a strike on an opposing player. The players were 7 and 8 years old. A message seeking comment was left for Farquhar. His attorney has said Nelson was the aggressor.

CORSICANA, Texas – Former Texas A&M football coach Tom Wilson has died. The school announced Wilson died Wednesday in Corsicana after battling cancer. He was 72. An official with Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home in Corsicana, Billy Roughton, said Thursday that Wilson died at home with family at his side. Wilson was Texas Tech’s quarterback from 1964 to 1965, going 14-7-1. He was a Red Raiders assistant before joining the Aggies in 1975, as offensive coordinator then head coach in 1978. Wilson was 21-19 with A&M through 1981. Wilson coached high school teams in Palestine and Corsicana before his 1999 retirement. He served on the Corsicana City Council from 2007 until earlier this year. A memorial service will be held Monday at Northside Baptist Church in Corsicana, 50 miles southeast of Dallas.

ISLAMABAD – Hanif Mohammad, Pakistan cricket’s “Little Master” who lasted 970 minutes in what is still the longest innings in test history, died Thursday. He was 81. Hanif died in hospital in his hometown of Karachi, his son Shoaib Mohammad said. He did not give the cause of death but hospital spokesman Rasool Sarang said Hanif had cancer. He gave no further details. Hanif played the longest individual test innings against West Indies at Barbados in 1958, scoring 337 runs. At the time, it was also the highest individual test score and his lengthy vigil at the crease helped Pakistan to draw the test match by scoring 657-8 in the second innings after it had been dismissed for just 106. Brian Lara of West Indies holds the current record of most test runs in an innings – 400 not out against England at Antigua in 2004. Hanif also held the record of the highest first-class score – run out on 499 – while playing for Karachi in 1959. That record lasted until Lara hit 501 not out in 1994. Famed for his solid defense, Hanif scored 3,915 runs in 55 test matches with 12 centuries and 15 half centuries at an average of 43.98. Hanif played alongside his elder brother Wazir Mohammad in Pakistan’s first-ever test – against India at New Delhi in 1952. His two

younger brothers – Mushtaq Mohammad and Sadiq Mohammad – were in the same team when Hanif played his last test against New Zealand at Karachi in 1969. “Today it’s a big loss for Pakistan, he was a legend,” Sadiq said. Raees Mohammad, Hanif’s fourth brother, played first-class cricket but did not represent Pakistan in a test. Hanif’s son Shoaib represented Pakistan in 45 test matches and 63 one-day internationals. Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan said the country had lost one of its greatest cricketing heroes. “The entire cricketing fraternity, in this country and all over the cricketing world, is in mourning over the sad demise of Hanif Mohammad,” he said in a statement. “His sublime technical skill, his unflappable temperament and his resolve and staying power in all conditions were most remarkable and won plaudits for him and for Pakistan.” Pakistan’s former test captain and wicketkeeper Moin Khan said he always took inspiration from Hanif, calling him “a genius of cricket,” and adding “it’s a huge loss.” ICC chief executive David Richardson said many batsmen around the world took inspiration from Hanif. “His contribution to the game has been enormous and one can only imagine the kind of impact his batting had on others over the years,” Richardson said in a statement.

Pastors sue over gay conversion therapy ban By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – A group of pastors is suing Illinois over a law that bars therapists and counselors from trying to change a minor’s sexual orientation, saying in a Thursday filing that the prohibition violates free speech and religious rights. The federal lawsuit seeks to exclude clergy from the ban that took effect Jan. 1, arguing that homosexuality is “contrary to God’s purpose” and a disorder that “can be resisted or overcome by those who seek to be faithful to God and His Word.” Illinois is among five states with bans on so-called gay conversion therapy for youth younger than 18, a practice critics have decried as psychologi-

cally damaging. The laws in California and New Jersey have withstood legal challenges, but an attorney for the pastors said the prohibitions in those states did not include clergy. “The law in Illinois is broader than the other laws, which were aimed at licensed counselors,” said John Mauck, who added that his plaintiffs are not seeking to overturn the entire ban, but want a ruling stating it shouldn’t apply to clergy. Vermont and Oregon are the other states with bans, and President Barack Obama expressed support for such laws last year. The Illinois Attorney General’s office, which will handle the lawsuit on behalf of the state, had not received the lawsuit yet and couldn’t comment, spokeswoman Annie Thompson said.

Illinois’ law applies to therapists and other licensed counselors, but the portion of the law that concerns pastors makes anyone liable for consumer fraud if they practice or advertise conversion therapy that portrays homosexuality as a mental disorder. “We want to make sure that young people in particular have access to pastoral and Biblical-based counsel if they want it, and that pastors are able to provide Bible-based counseling without any fear of legal repercussions,” said Steven Stultz, a Chicago pastor who is part of the lawsuit. Four other pastors are also involved, as well as Pastors Protecting Youth and Civil Liberties for Urban Believers. Rep. Kelly Cassidy, a Chicago Democrat who sponsored the bill, said she’s met with people who have gone

Feds: Two CEOs indicted for stealing $2.5M from N.Y. firm

ALBANY, N.Y. – Two executives of a firm that was hired to raise funds for a northern New York aircraft repair facility have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to steal $2.5 million from their client. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albany said Eric Jergensen of Salt Lake City and 52-year-old Debashis Ghosh of Chicago entered the pleas in federal court Wednesday. The men are CEOs at Verdant Capital Group. Authorities said the men had agreed to maintain $2.5 million in a bank account, but quickly spent the funds provided by a firm not identified by prosecutors. Plattsburgh media outlets identify the company as the Laurentian Aerospace Corp. Prosecutors said all of the money had been transferred out of the account within four months and used to pay Verdant’s expenses. The attorney for the two men declined to comment.

Cassidy’s bill quoted language from the American Psychiatric Association warning in 2000 that “the potential risks of reparative therapy are great, including depression, anxiety and self-destructive behavior, since therapist alignment with societal prejudices against homosexuality may reinforce self-hatred already experienced by the patient.” But Stultz said the young parishioners who have sought his counsel have had positive experiences. “I think we’ve been able to do it in such a way that doesn’t bring condemnation, doesn’t bring pressure,” he said.

They are charged with conspiracy to commit capital murder and booked into the Saline County jail on $1 million bond.

Muslim woman sues city, officers for false terrorist ID

CHICAGO – A Muslim woman is suing the city of Chicago and six officers who falsely singled her out as a potential terrorist July 4, 2015, as she left a subway station wearing a headscarf, face veil and carrying a backpack. Itemid Al-Matar’s federal lawsuit filed Thursday said officers pulled off her religious garb, arrested her and later strip-searched her. The 32-year-old was acquitted of obstructing justice. The Council on American-Islamic Relations says “blatant xenophobia, Islamophobia and racial profiling” motivated the arrest. A public police report said officers “were on high alert of terrorist activity” on the national holiday and that Al-Matar was exhibiting “suspicious behavior.” The CPD declined to comment but said in a statement that police “strive to treat all individuals with the highest levels of dignity of respect.”

Appeals court: Judge can’t erase defendant’s record

NEW YORK – A federal appeals court said Thursday that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to erase the criminal records of some people who’ve been successfully rehabilitated, and it recommended that Congress take a look at the possibility. Still, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a decision by a Brooklyn federal judge to do just that for a health care worker who lost jobs repeatedly after employers checked her criminal history and discovered a 1997 crime that led to a 2001 health care fraud conviction. She served five years of probation. The three-judge Manhattan appeals court panel said the judge, John Gleeson, had no authority to wipe out her criminal record in May 2015 after she said the conviction was preventing her from getting or keeping a job as a home health aide.

Clinton knocks ‘outlandish Trumpian ideas’ in speech The ASSOCIATED PRESS WARREN, Mich.– Her political fortunes flourishing, Hillary Clinton attempted to undercut Donald Trump’s claim to working-class voters Thursday, portraying her Republican rival as untrustworthy on economic issues and pushing policies that would benefit only the super-wealthy – himself included. The Democratic presidential nominee sought to seize momentum as Republicans – including Trump – struck an almost defeatist note about their Election Day chances. As Republican leaders sounded alarms about Trump’s unconventional approach, Clinton attacked was she dubbed “outlandish Trumpian ideas” that have been rejected by both parties. “Based on what we know from the Trump campaign, he wants America to work for him and his friends, at the expense of everyone else,” she said, at a manufacturing company. Appearing in the county known for the so-called Reagan Democrats – working-class Democrats who voted Republican in the 1980s – Clinton tried to seize the opportunity to win back some of the blue-collar voters who’ve formed the base of her rival’s support, making the case that she offers a steadier roadmap for economic growth and prosperity. “I can provide serious, steady leadership that can find common ground and build on it based on hard but respectful bargaining,” she said. “I just don’t think insults and bullying is how we’re going to get things done.” Clinton, who frequently boasts about her numerous policy plans, didn’t offer any new, major ideas to improve the country’s economy in her afternoon address. She reiterated her strong opposition

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gives a speech on the economy Thursday after touring Futuramic Tool & Engineering in Warren, Mich. to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, leaving herself little room for backtracking should she win the White House if it is taken up by the lame-duck Congress later this year. “I oppose it now, I’ll oppose it after the election, and I’ll oppose it as president,” she said, while also noting that the U.S. should not cut itself off from the rest of the world. Clinton once called the TPP the “gold standard” of trade deals when she served as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state but announced her opposition to the deal last year, saying it did not meet her standard for creating jobs, raising wages and protecting national security. Hoping to keep the pressure up on Trump, Clinton is also planning to release her 2015 tax returns in the coming days. Trump has said he won’t release them until an IRS audit is complete, breaking traditional with every presidential candidate in recent history. A source close to Clinton said she soon would release the return, supplementing the decades of filings she and her husband already have made public. Her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine and his wife also will release the last

10 years of their taxes. The source spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the plans in advance. Her appearance followed Trump’s own speech on the economy, which he delivered in Michigan on Monday. But his scripted remarks were quickly eclipsed by the latest in a series of blunders and controversial statements that appear to have handed Clinton’s campaign a boost in the polls, particularly with Republican women and college-educated voters that make up a key piece of the GOP base. Just hours before her address, Trump unleashed another round of attacks on Democrats, calling Obama the “founder” of the Islamic State militant group – and Clinton, its co-founder. The Republican presidential nominee brushed off conservative radio commentator Hugh Hewitt’s attempt to reframe Trump’s observation as one that said Obama’s foreign policy created the conditions in Iraq and Syria that allowed IS to thrive. “No, I meant he’s the founder of ISIS. I do,” Trump said, using another acronym for the extremist group that has wreaked havoc from the Middle East to European cities.

GOP: IS intel reports were manipulated By RICHARD LARDNER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Intelligence assessments approved by senior leaders at U.S. Central Command exaggerated the progress of anti-terrorism efforts they ran against Islamic State militants, a House Republican task force said in an initial report released Thursday. The report detailed what the task force described as “persistent problems” in 2014 and 2015 with the command’s analysis of U.S. efforts to train Iraqi forces and combat the extremist group in Iraq and Syria. Central Command, based in Tampa, Florida, runs the U.S. military operations in the Middle East. The task force’s investigation isn’t yet complete. A separate investigation by the Pentagon inspector general also is underway. A Central Command spokesman said the command is reviewing the House report

PHILADELPHIA – An anti-police brutality group wants Philadelphia to remove a statue of Frank Rizzo, the blunt and charismatic officer-turned-mayor who was at once loved and loathed during his decades reigning over the city. The current mayor said he’s open to a discussion on the location of the statue. An online petition, launched this month by the Philly Coalition for REAL Justice, contends Rizzo was “an unrepentant racist who stopped at nothing to torture and hold Philadelphia’s African-American community as his personal hostages.” “We want to see a statue that empowers the black and brown community instead of us having to be constantly reminded of racist attacks and our plight here in Philadelphia,” organizer Erica Mines said. The bronze statue, unveiled in 1999, depicts Rizzo bounding down the steps of the Municipal Services Building. It was donated to the city.

Philadelphia has long tried to reconcile the complicated legacy of Rizzo, who served as mayor from 1972 to 1980 and who died of a heart attack in 1991 amid a City Hall comeback bid. His friends, family and fans remember him as a devoted public servant unafraid to speak his mind. His detractors saw his police force as corrupt and brutal and said Rizzo alienated minorities both as police commissioner and mayor. The petition’s allegations are “complete nonsense,” Rizzo’s grandson Joe Mastronardo said Wednesday. “He was always friends with black people,” Mastronardo said. “His two bodyguards were black and very tough guys. I don’t think they would have protected this man if he was a racist.” Mastronardo said his grandfather’s hard-nosed rule and tough police tactics were products of the turbulent 1960s and ’70s.

force said. “Additionally, many (Central Command) press releases, public statements and congressional testimonies were also significantly more positive than actual events,” according to the report. House Republican leaders formed the task force after lawmakers learned that an unnamed analyst assigned to the command had filed a formal complaint alleging that intelligence about the Islamic State group had been manipulated. The Republican chairmen of the House Intelligence and Armed Services committees and the Appropriations defense subcommittee established the task force. The report said leadership at the command and within its intelligence office “deteriorated significantly” after Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis departed as senior commander in 2013. Army Gen. Lloyd Austin replaced Mattis as the command’s top officer. Roughly a year after Austin took over, several new senior

intelligence officials arrived in Tampa to replace holdovers from Mattis’ tenure. After the fall of Mosul, Iraq, to Islamic State militants in June 2014, the new officials, who are not named in the report, increased their involvement in the review and editing of various intelligence products. The officials “regularly performed line-in/line-out edits and wording changes which were perceived by analysts as more frequent than previous intelligence directorate leadership,” according to the task force. Dissatisfaction with the new way of doing business is reflected in an internal survey of command analysts that described the leadership as toxic, according to the report. Forty percent of the analysts who responded to the survey, which was conducted by the office of the director of national intelligence, said they had experienced an attempt to distort or suppress intelligence in the past year, the report said.

Trump embarrassment to this great nation SPRINGFIELD – When a veteran gave Donald Trump his Purple Heart earlier this month, David Cay Johnston cringed. Johnston, the son of a disabled World War II-era veteran, knows the sacrifices that medal represents. It’s only awarded to military personnel wounded or killed in combat. Trump said of the gift, “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.” Johnston, a Pulitzer Prize winner who has written a book on the Republican presidential candidate, has known Trump for decades and told me in a recent interview, “Donald Trump just doesn’t get it. He creates his own reality. The Purple Heart isn’t something anyone seeks.” I first met Johnston 11 years ago, when I was in Fort Worth, Texas, to receive an Investigative Reporters and Editors medal. I found Johnston to be a heck of a nice guy, an occasional mentor and reporter not afraid to go against the grain. He’s a registered Republican who is not afraid to speak out against some of the GOP’s dumber moves. His book, “The Making of Donald Trump,” makes it clear that its dumbest move may well be nominating Trump. “Win or lose, I think Donald Trump will mean the destruction of the Republican Party as we know it,” Johnston told me. Johnston labels Trump the “P.T. Barnum of American politics,” adding that the real estate mogul is a master of media manipulation. “Back when he announced that he was seeking the Republican nomination, most reporters were dismissive, saying it was a publicity stunt. I wasn’t one of them. I didn’t say he ‘would’ but said he ‘could’ win the nomination.” Maliciousness is a point of pride for Trump, Johnston contends. “This is a man driven by the need to seek revenge,” he said. Johnston devotes a chapter

to Trump’s words on the subject. He described how Trump fired a female employee who cited ethical reservations and refused to call a banker friend on his behalf. Johnston quotes Trump’s own account from his book, “Think Big.” “She ended up losing her home. Her husband, who was only in it for the money, walked out on her and I was glad … I can’t stomach disloyalty … and now I go out of my way to make her life miserable.” Johnson also relates how Trump cut off the health insurance for his great-nephew after the ill baby’s parents challenged a family will. Johnston said Trump’s appeal is that he offers simplistic solutions to an American people who are hurting economically. And Trump has used the trappings of his personal wealth to attract people. But Johnson contends that Trump isn’t nearly as wealthy as he says he is. “He lives the lifestyle of a billionaire. But how many real billionaires are out hawking ties, steaks, bottled water and board games?” Johnston’s book is a terrific read. And I have to agree with his assessment of the wannabe commander-in-chief. Trump is a charlatan who spews hatred toward Muslims, Mexicans, women and just about anyone who gets in his way. He’s not just an embarrassment to the Republican Party but to this great nation.

Wonderful people who lend a hand

To the Editor: A friend stopped me the other day and asked, “How are things going?” My answer: “It’s a wonderful life made up of wonderful people.” Let me explain. It was about 9 p.m. and I was taking out the garbage. I slipped and could not get up. I tried to walk, but the legs didn’t cooperate. I started to yell with both lungs as cars kept coming by and not stopping. The fourth or fifth car slowed down, stopped, and a fellow asked me what was wrong. “I can’t walk,” I told him. He brought his walker to me and said, “Relax, I’ll help you.” His wife, Mary, turned the car around to give her husband, Don, more light. Don gently walked me down the driveway and waited until I got into the house. The legs got stronger by some miracle. I managed to get to the front door, and Mary asked, “Are you all right?” “Yes,” I yelled. “Thanks a million” as they waved goodbye. What a wonderful couple. I’m sure Don and Mary will receive a miracle. Another good deed took place at Wal-Mart. I arrived at the wireless section too late as the section was closed and would not open for an hour. I told the manager, and she called Anne to help me. And Anne was in another department but came over and with a pleasant smile solved my problem. Yes, there are wonderful people around who are willing to help us. Thank you all.

Keep Joliet Council structure as is

To the Editor: The move to change the structure of the Joliet City Council is not a good idea. Currently, each and every citizen in Joliet is represented by a majority of the council. Each has an opportunity to vote for the mayor, a district councilperson, and the three at-large members. So any one citizen can approach five members of the council who consider that person as a constituent. In the current structure, every individual has constituent status and the associated power to reach a majority of the council. By changing, each Joliet citizen will be disenfranchised. Any one citizen will have the opportunity to choose only two council members. This proposal seems to serve only office seekers, but will harm the entire population. It also would reduce opportunity for those who may wish to seek elected office, reducing available seats from five to two. Unintended consequences exist. To improve the probability of election, residential segregation by race may result – reversing 150 years of progress. Joliet is much more racially balanced than many neighboring towns. Also, with eight separate districts, more competition and less cooperation are likely. Those elected may become more selfishly focused and neglect at-large issues. The current balance serves best as the at-large members consider the greater good versus special interests. The five district members provide balance to that macro view by seeing to specific district needs. The proposal may accomplish its shortterm goal of electing more nonwhite representatives. The promoters may increase voter turnout as attacking incumbency and bashing status quo seem to work lately. But in my view, the proposed change is a disservice to Joliet in the long run.

A JOURNEY BACK HOME

Former JCA standout Michael Johnson finds way to St Francis By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Running back Michael Johnson vividly recalls University of St. Francis football coach Joe Curry on the sideline at Joliet Catholic games the last few seasons. “Harry (Davis) is at Saint Xavier and is a receiver for them,” Johnson said. “(Former JCA running back Mike) Ivlow is there, too. “I used to see (Saint Xavier coach Mike) Feminis and Curry on the side-

lines at our Joliet Catholic games. They’d tell Harry and me how we were doing, tease us about how we’re slowing down, how we’re going to get caught from behind.” While Davis decided to play for Feminis at Saint Xavier, Johnson, a Herald-News All-Area selection, graduated from JCA in the spring and prepared to spend time working out and getting acclimated at NCAA Division II Missouri Southern State in Joplin. It did not pan out as planned. “I was there for three weeks in June,”

Johnson said. “I got down there, the running backs coach left, and I just wasn’t feeling the vibes.” So, he talked with the Missouri Southern coaches, then called Curry. “I told him I don’t really like it here and asked him if his offer is still on the table,” Johnson said. “He said it was, and he helped me a lot doing all the right things and doing everything I had to do.” “The relationship Michael and I have is built on honesty and trust,” Curry said. “When he called this summer, I said, ‘We would love to have you.’ I’m

glad it worked out.” Johnson said he did not need to get an official release from Missouri Southern since he technically had not been on the field there yet, but Curry counseled him on the proper tact. “Due to not being on the field yet, I just had to ask if I could leave out of respect,” Johnson said. “Curry told me to be respectful, and I wanted to do that. I talked to the head coach and told him I was leaving, and he said, ‘I support you.’ ”

Local baseball players savor a trip they never will forget By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Friday, August 12, 2016

The baseball rocked. However, the education the American players received is what they will savor for the rest of their lives. Former Lockport Hall of Fame coach Jim Hall has coached the game internationally for the last decade, taking American teams to Aruba, Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, Japan, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. However, his big dream, the one he has been discussing since retiring from Lockport in 2006, had yet to be realized. That changed a couple of weeks ago when Hall managed Team America, whose roster featured numerous players and coaches from the Joliet area, on an excursion to Cuba. “The trip was really educational for the players,” Hall said. “I couldn’t be more proud of how they acted and conducted themselves. “Our guys came back with a new appreciation for what we have here.”

THE EXPERIENCE

Ryan Clavenna, who played baseball at Lincoln-Way West and Joliet Junior College before completing his education at the University of Illinois, served as an assistant coach for Team America, although he did get into one game and drilled a long double to the left-center field gap. “The experience was unbelievable,” Clavenna said. “It’s like taking a trip back in time. The old cars, the old buildings. We met some of the people. They were so nice. I don’t know if they liked us, didn’t like us, or what, but it’s something we will never forget.” “It was very interesting,” said Clavenna’s brother, Drew Clavenna, who is playing currently at South Suburban. “It’s a completely different life there. There are different style homes. That was a big part of the trip, seeing how everything was different, right down to the food. It definitely was not all baseball for us.” The Clavennas’ cousin, Zach Speaker, a Lincoln-Way West graduate who began his college career at St. Francis before transferring to Heartland Community College in Normal and has another year to play there, said he was not sure about making the trip but is glad he did. “This was my first time out of the

Ryan and Drew are my cousins. They said they’re going, and my parents said I should take advantage of the opportunity. It could not have been a better experience.” Team America’s Kenny Alexa, who was a standout football and baseball player at Lincoln-Way East, said, “It definitely was different. It wasn’t like back home. It gave us an appreciation for what we have here.”

THE TALENT LEVEL

Against competition Hall described as “district teams,” Team America went 6-0 with scores of 11-2, 15-5 (after trailing, 5-0, in the first inning), 9-3 and 9-3 in a doubleheader, 8-1 and 6-4. “The talent level was not what I had hoped to play against, but our kids played really well, too,” Hall said. “We wanted to play the Cuban national

team but didn’t get that opportunity.” “We went 6-0, but compared to American kids at the same age, the Cubans are better because they play every day,” Drew Clavenna said. “It’s just that we were more experienced and a little older.” “The competition wasn’t really what I thought it would be,” Speaker said. “Every team had good guys, but some weren’t as good. “They’re known to be the best at baseball in Cuba, and their top play-

ers probably are. But they don’t have the depth we have here. Our guys were mostly 17-21. They had I think two guys we played against who were 20, but most were 17 or 18.” “The players were good for their age,” Alexa said. “I’m definitely glad I made the trip and got to experience playing against them.” Ryan Clavenna, who is working an internship at Bulls/Sox Academy in Lisle and will be a member of the JJC coaching staff under Wayne King beginning in the fall, said it was evident how well the Cubans play the game. “There were a few kids we may have seen twice, but every day we basically played against new kids,” he said. “You could see how smooth they are. They play with a rhythm. If we got behind in the count and threw a fastball over the plate, they were all over it.

“They don’t get all the opportunities kids here get, but some of them may become special players. They had a 15-year-old who threw in the low-to-mid 80s against us. He’s the real deal. You’ve seen it a little with some guys who have come over here to play. “We played mostly against 17- and 18-year-olds. You think about Aroldis (Chapman) or (Yasiel) Puig – were they these kids? What will their talent level grow to?”

THE RIBBING

A big moment for Ryan Clavenna came when he got into a game and hit his double. “My brother got to play a couple innings,” Drew Clavenna said. “He’s been done playing baseball for a while. He hit a shot into the gap in left-center for a double. That was fun to watch.” As Ryan Clavenna walked up to the plate, he said Hall hollered sage advice from the coaching box: “Don’t hurt yourself.” Lincoln-Way West graduate Connor Hogan, a Team America member who is bidding to make the varsity at Ohio State, where he played club baseball previously, was a high school teammate of Ryan Clavenna. “Connor was teasing me when I went up there – ‘Let’s see what you have left,’ ” Clavenna laughed. “I played second base at JJC but hadn’t seen live pitching for at least two years. I guess I haven’t lost it entirely.” Chris Hogan, Connor’s dad, was an assistant coach for Team America. Hall said Justin Sartori from Sandwich was on the team. His dad, Tim Sartori, played for Hall as a quarterback in football and third baseman/pitcher in baseball at Lockport when he was beginning his coaching tenure there in the mid1970s.

Johnson has been busy at USF’s practices this week at Memorial Stadium, learning a new offense and getting as many reps as possible. The tailback position, vacated when John Magee exhausted his eligibility, is a fluid competition. For now, last year’s backup, Jordon Smith, is No. 1, Jordan Mixson No. 2, Lamarr Hooper (a sophomore from Bolingbrook) No. 3 and Johnson No. 4. “First, I get reps with the 3s, then I’ve been mixing in with the 1s and 2s,” Johnson said. “They have me getting a lot of reps.

on the trip. In all, there were 14 players and more than 30, including parents and other family members, in the Team America contingent. If only the food had been better. “About one-third of our group there got sick,” Hall said. “The food isn’t very good. You come to the realization what it’s like to not be able to go out to a fastfood place or go out and get a good meal. “For a month, the people there get $18 for salt, sugar, 10 eggs, potatoes, beans and rice. It’s all government owned.” “It’s pretty amazing to see how people live on less than $20 a month,” Speaker said. “There’s no meat. They

are getting food from the government. And most people don’t even own cars.” A couple of injuries and illnesses later, and Speaker, a first baseman/outfielder by trade, was pressed into duty on the mound. “We had a couple guys hurt or sick, and I was asked and said, ‘Sure, I’ll throw a couple innings,’ ” he said. “It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.” Team America might not have played as strong a competition as it wanted to see, but that did not diminish the value of the journey. Before departing, Hall had said: “The people all over the world are very good to us. Cuba is still a communist country. I want to go there and show respect for

the country, the people and their baseball.” That was accomplished, right down to the exchange of gifts. “At the end of our trip, we gave away a ton of things,” Hall said. “It was rewarding to see how our guys integrated with the Cuban players.”

I definitely have to work hard to beat the others out.” Curry said Johnson will get his opportunities. “Michael is doing a great job,” Curry said. “He’s going to be a great one. You can see the potential when he gets the ball. We’re giving him a lot of reps to see if he’s ready for this level. Things will be happening fast for him, but once we break camp, the game slows down a little. “Our offense is not that complicated, but we do some things. We want our running back crew to score touchdowns. We have a couple rotating in with the 1s and a couple with the 2s, and Michael definitely is in that mix. John Magee was good, but we might have beat him up last year, giving him the ball more than 200 times. We have to distribute it better.”

Johnson said he likes the Saints’ motto and approach: “Pound the Rock.” “They’re a power team like JCA,” he said. “They have big linemen. This is JCA all over again.” Among those big linemen are Brennan Mulroe (Lincoln-Way West) and Trevor Marveka (Peotone). Mulroe was an all-conference selection last year. Also back is Ross Stremme, a three-year starter who missed last season with injury and was granted a medical red-shirt. Johnson said early returns are all good. “I’m happy here,” he said. “I definitely feel better here. It’s a family on offense. Nobody cares who scores the touchdowns, just so we score them as a team. It’s that way on defense, too. You can see how they want to win as a unit.”

Johnson said he still has a flashy wardrobe, some of which was on display when he was cited at a Joliet Catholic national letter-of-intent signing day celebration during his senior year. “I’ve got the wardrobe, but I have a feeling Curry won’t let me wear it,” he said with a smile. “We’re a unit here, and he wants us to look like it.” Johnson will study nursing, which he also was planning at Southwest Missouri. “The nursing program here is one of the top ones in the country,” he said. Meanwhile, the crash course on the football field continues. Johnson is hoping to be in position to see action when the Saints open at 6 p.m. Sept. 3 at Saint Xavier. Yes, he will be on the sideline opposite his longtime friend, Harry Davis. It is a small world.

BRONCOS 22, BEARS 0

Broncos beat Bears; Sanchez makes good case for QB job By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Mark Sanchez made a strong opening argument for the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback job, throwing for 99 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter, and the defending Super Bowl champions beat the Bears, 22-0, in the preseason opener Thursday night. Sanchez came through with just the sort of performance he needed if he’s going to beat out Trevor Siemian. He completed 10 of 13 passes in the first quarter and led a game-opening 76-yard touchdown drive. He was intercepted by Jerrell Freeman on the Broncos’ second possession. But overall? Not bad. Sanchez maintained his cool against the Bears pressure and kept the opening drive going by completing three third-down passes – includ-

ing a 32-yard TD to a wide open Demaryius Thomas along the right side. As for Siemian, the former Northwestern star looked comfortable throwing short passes and was 7 of 12 for 88 yards in the second quarter. It was a rough start for a Bears team looking for more after going 6-10 in coach John Fox’s first season. Jay Cutler threw for 18 yards and got sacked twice in the first quarter. Brian Hoyer threw for 81 yards in the second quarter but was sacked three times. On a positive note for the Bears, Alshon Jeffery played after being limited by a strained hamstring and caught a 12-yard pass. And Kevin White caught his first pass for the Bears after missing his rookie season because of a fractured shin. No Miller: Broncos star LB Von Miller sat out because he said he was not mentally ready after a busy offseason. The Super Bowl MVP had a

tense contract negotiation and made several TV and public appearances. Rookie watch: Broncos: DE Adam Gotsis, a second-round draft pick from Georgia Tech, had a tackle for loss to start the third quarter. QB comparison: Broncos: Rookie Paxton Lynch went 6 for 7 with 74 yards in his first NFL appearance. The 6-foot-7 strong-armed quarterback from Memphis was drafted with the 26th overall pick. Bears: Hoyer was 7 of 10 with an interception in his first appearance for the Bears. Injury update: Broncos: The Broncos held out OLB DeMarcus Ware (back) and CB Aqib Talib, who suffered a gunshot wound in his right leg in the offseason. Bears: RB Ka’Deem Carey was being evaluated for a concussion after getting shaken up in the third quarter. WR Eddie Royal and TE Zach Miller sat out because of concussions.

4. Veterans-laden special teams units – General manager Ryan Pace made a

concerted effort to bring back players who were core special teamers last season, and they all were active with the kicking units. Rookies Deiondre’ Hall and Deon Bush, and fullback Paul Lasike were the only players not on last year’s active roster to get reps with the starting kicking return and coverage units. It’s early, however, and it’ll eventually become a numbers and money game to fill the roster, so more and more rookies may start getting chances in the third phase.

Bears wide receiver Kevin White watches from the sideline Thursday during the second half of the team’s NFL preseason football game against the Denver Broncos at Soldier Field.

CHICAGO – The Bears’ starting defense gave up a touchdown on its opening drive and the offense got only one first down on three drives, culminating in a shaky start to the preseason. Here are four things we learned from Thursday night’s preseason opener against the Denver Broncos: 1. Alshon Jeffery is back – The best news the Bears received, and the most important, was getting their top receiver on the field. A hamstring injury kept Jeffery out of a few practices and limited in the final two sessions in Bourbonnais, but he was healthy and on the field for the first three drives, catching the one pass thrown his way, a 12-yard gain on the Bears’ first play on offense. It’s a good sign that the hamstring strain wasn’t something the team felt would become worse from Jeffery playing in the preseason opener. Neither Jeffery nor the Bears can afford for him to have lingering injuries again. 2. The offense needs work – Yes, Zach Miller and Eddie Royal remained out with concussions, but that’s not enough of an excuse for the first-team offense to manage 13 net yards. Jay Cutler was sacked twice and Jeremy Langford averaged 1.8 yards on his four carries. This came against a Broncos defense that was without its four best players: DeMarcus Ware, Von Miller, Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. With a new play-caller, three new O-linemen and new starters at several skill positions, it’s going to take time, but this was not a good debut. The second team didn’t fare much better, with Brian Hoyer getting sacked three times in the second quarter. 3. Mixed bag for starting ‘D’ – The firstteam defense was without Tracy Porter and Pernell McPhee and gave up a touchdown on a 10-play, 76-yard drive to open the game. Demaryius Thomas caught a 32-yard touchdown on third-and-9 when the Bears blitzed and cornerback Bryce Callahan got turned around. Callahan made a nice play on the next drive, however, coming off his man to deflect a pass that Jerrell Freeman intercepted. Willie Young was active and notched a QB hit and Freeman had a tackle for loss.

24 ROYALS 2, WHITE SOX 1

Duffy throws complete game, Royals beat Sox The ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Danny Duffy pitched his first complete game to win his eighth straight decision, Cheslor Cuthbert had two hits and drove in a run, and the Kansas City Royals beat the White Sox, 2-1, on Thursday night. Duffy (9-1) limited the Sox to seven singles, struck out six and walked none. The left-hander has not lost since June 6 and has a 1.73 ERA in his past five starts. Duffy threw 98 pitches, 71 for strikes. Cuthbert tripled home Jarrod Dyson in the sixth and is second among AL rookies with 93 hits, 24 multihit games and a .303 batting average. Dyson initially was called out trying to steal second, but the Royals appealed and the call was overturned. Cuthbert then scored the go-ahead run on Eric Hosmer’s single off Carson Fulmer (0-2). Fulmer has an 8.47 ERA in eight relief appearances. The Sox’s Jason Coats, re-

Sox right-hander Miguel Gonzalez exited after 21 pitches with a right groin strain. After Salvador Perez fouled off a fullcount pitch leading off the second, Sox manager Robin Ventura and trainer Herm Schneider came to the mound and led Gonzalez off.

Morales drops appeal: Royals DH Kendrys Morales served his one-game suspension after dropping his appeal. Morales was punished by Major League Baseball for returning to the field Aug. 2 in Tampa Bay in the ninth inning after being ejected. To be determined: The Royals have not decided who will start Saturday against the Twins. RHP Dillon Gee was scheduled for that evening but threw 32 pitches in two innings Wednesday in a 14-inning victory over the Sox. While manager Ned Yost said Gee is “still in the mix” to start, that it is “more murky” after having to use him Wednesday. Vote of confidence: Ventura said he is sticking with David Robertson as his closer, although he blew saves in the first two games of this series and six this season. “At some point it’s going to turn for me and hopefully I’ll get on a roll,” Robertson said. “Right now, I’ve definitely been doing a poor job out there, and I need to pick it up.”

The Slammers’ second baseman Carter Bell fields a ground ball for the out Tuesday against Schaumburg at Silver Cross Field in Joliet.

SLAMMERS 6, BOOMERS 4

Bell drives in six as Slammers rally to win The HERALD-NEWS SCHAUMBURG – Carter Bell turned in one of the biggest offensive performances of the season for the Joliet Slammers, who made the most of his six-RBI effort to help them capture a third-consecutive victory over Schaumburg. Bell smacked three-run homers in both the first and seventh innings to help the Slammers rally for a 6-4 Frontier League victory on Thursday. The win gives Joliet a six-game lead over Washington for first place in the Frontier League’s East Division as it returns home for a three-game series with Traverse City this weekend. After rolling to two easy victories over the Boomers, things were much more suspenseful before the Slammers finally moved nine games over .500 with 21 contests remaining. Joliet (42-33) took the early lead when it scored three times in the opening inning. But the Boomers (33-43) got

single runs in both the first and fourth and scored twice in the fifth inning to grab a 4-3 lead. The Slammers moved back in front with a three-run seventh. In the decisive seventh, Alfredo Rodriguez (2 for 5) and Jake Gronsky (3 for 4) started things with singles before Bell (2 for 5) smacked a threerun home run, his 10th of the season. He also increased his RBI total to 65, which ranks him second-best in the league. The Slammers used a similar approach in the first when Charlie White walked and Gronsky singled before Bell smacked his initial three-run blast of the game. Melvin Rodriguez also went 2 for 4 for the winners, who collected 12 hits. After starter Shane Bryant allowed four runs on eight hits in five innings, relievers Kevin Simmons, Zach Hirsch and Confesor Lara gave up no runs on one hit in the last four frames. Simmons collected the victory while Lara picked up the save.

The United States’ Michael Phelps competes in the final of the men’s 200-meter individual medley during the swimming competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics on Thursday in Rio de Janeiro.

RIO DE JANEIRO – Michael Phelps waggled four fingers, recognizing another historic achievement. Now, he’s the first swimmer ever to win the same event at four straight Olympics. Ryan Lochte was left in his wake every time. In what was billed as the final showdown between two of America’s greatest swimmers, Phelps blew away Lochte – and everyone else – to win his fourth gold medal of the Rio Olympics and 22nd overall with a victory in the 200-meter individual medley Thursday night. Phelps finished a full body-length

ahead of the field with total dominance on the breaststroke and freestyle legs, finishing in 1 minute, 54.66 seconds. Lochte didn’t even make it to the podium this time, after taking two silvers and a bronze behind Phelps at the past three Olympics in this event. Leading at the midway point, Lochte faded to fifth. Japan’s Kosuke Hagino took the silver, while China’s Wang Shun claimed the bronze. But Phelps was in a league of his own as usual. He’s got one more individual event at what he insists will really be his final Olympics – remember, he already retired once – and will be looking to add a fourth straight gold in the 100 butterfly to his staggering resumé. Then, he’ll close out these Olympics in the 4x100 medley relay. There seems to be little doubt he’ll go 6 for 6. Led by Phelps, it was quite a night for the powerful American team, which picked up two more golds when Ryan

Murphy completed a sweep of the men’s backstroke events in the 200, and Simone Manuel tied 16-year-old Canadian Penny Oleksiak for the top spot in the 100 freestyle, stunning world-record holder Cate Campbell of Australia. With the win, Manuel became the first black woman to win gold in swimming. Campbell and her younger sister, Bronte, were hoping to battle for gold after teaming up to lead Australia to a victory in the 4x100 free relay. Neither one of them made the podium by themselves. Cate was under her own world-record pace at the turn, but had nothing coming back and fell all the way to sixth. Bronte was second at the turn and slid to fourth at the finish. Murphy extended red-white-andblue dominance of the backstroke events that goes back to 1992. The Barcelona Games were the last time the United States lost a men’s final in those events. Three days after winning the 100 back, Murphy touched first again in 1:53.62.

Fiji wins gold for first medal in country’s history

The United States’ Simone Biles performs on the floor during the artistic gymnastics women’s individual all-around final Thursday at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Olympic medal around her neck, the 22-year-old called “grandma” by her teammates having the last laugh and getting a measure of revenge after losing bronze in the 2012 all-around final to Mustafina on a tiebreaker. “It made me not think about things too much and made me more confident,” Raisman said. “I knew going into tonight I was going to get the silver medal because I was going to hit four events.” That’s because gold has been out of reach for everyone but Biles for three years and counting. She arrived in Brazil with 15 world championship medals – 10 of them gold – with routines astonishing in their mix of ambition and precision. One last test awaited in Rio, a contest not so much between Biles and the rest of the field but between herself and the outsized expectations her dominance has created. Anything less than heading back to her family’s home in Spring, Texas, with a fistful of golds would be seen as a disappointment. Biles earned the first one Tuesday while serving as the exclamation point to retiring national team coordinator Martha Karolyi’s going away party. Although Biles insisted she’s never looked ahead during her long run at the top, that’s not exactly true.

A portion of her floor exercise routine – the one that includes her signature tumbling pass – is set to Brazilian music that would fit right at home in the street right outside Olympic Park. It’s not a coincidence. The girl adopted along with her younger sister by their grandparents as toddlers and discovered by coach Aimee Boorman’s mother during a field trip to the gym is a wonder, even if it always didn’t seem that way. Biles’ talent is unmistakable, but it took time to harness. At one point Boorman pulled Biles aside and gave her a choice. Biles could continue to work out 20 hours a week, attend high school and eventually become a college gymnast or she could explore the elite level, a move that included more intensive training and being home schooled. Boorman asked more than once. And every time the answer came back the same: let’s go for it. “I wanted to see how far I could go in this sport,” she said. A decision that led to years of sacrifices and, ultimately, the biggest night of her life. Five trips to the top of the podium in one games is something gymnastics has never seen. Then again, doing things gymnastics has never seen is what Biles does best.

Osea Kolinisau and his rugby sevens teammates can call themselves Fiji’s first Olympic champions, capping their domination the past two years with an emphatic, 43-7, win over Britain in the gold-medal match at Rio. Both teams were unbeaten going into the final, but only one has rugby sevens as a national sport. It was all but over at halftime, with the Fijians scoring five tries before the break to 29-0. Kolinisau scored the first of those, reaching back over his head to touch down. Rugby is back in the Olympics for the first time since a 15-a-side tournament was played in 1924.

World Anti-Doping Agency says it’s a target of hackers

The World Anti-Doping Agency and Court of Arbitration for Sport said they have been targeted by hackers. WADA communications coordinator Maggie Durand tells The Associated Press in an email that the agency was notified of a YouTube video claiming WADA’s website had been hacked. She said an investigation “was quickly able to determine that the website had not been compromised, although we continue to monitor activity.” She said WADA can confirm that its data base of doping results “has not been compromised.” Meanwhile, CAS secretary general Matthieu Reeb told the AP “there has been an attempt to hack the CAS website. It is not the first time, and certainly not the last time.”

The U.S. women’s field hockey team improved to 4-0 and will play Britain on Saturday to determine who will win Pool B. Katie Bam scored two goals and helped the U.S. defeat India, 3-0, Thursday night. Bam scored in the first and third periods, and Melissa Gonzalez added a goal in the fourth. Goalie Jackie Briggs notched her first shoutout of the Games after allowing a single goal in each of the team’s first three matches. The United States already had clinched a slot in the quarterfinals. It got off to a strong start by knocking off No. 2 Argentina and No. 3 Australia in its first two matches.

LOCAL BRIEFS

U.S. WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS

RIO DE JANEIRO – Simone Biles and Aly Raisman stood side by side in Rio Olympic Arena, clutching each other while waiting for the inevitable coronation. When the floor exercise judges validated what Raisman and every other gymnast has known for years – that Biles is the greatest of her generation and perhaps of all time – the U.S. Olympic team captain let her good friend go. Suddenly Biles was alone in the spotlight, the normally giggly teenager fighting back tears as she waved to the family that raised her, the coaches who molded her and the sport she is redefining. The secret is out. The pressure is gone. Biles belongs to the world now. And history, too. Dynamic on vault. Effortless on beam. Jaw-dropping on floor. Brilliant as ever. And now, finally, an Olympic champion. Biles soared to the all-around title Thursday night, putting the gap between herself and everyone else on full display for the world to see. Her total of 62.198 was well clear of Raisman, who finished her remarkable comeback with a silver medal, and Russia’s Aliya Mustafina. “It doesn’t even feel real,” Biles said. “To me I’m just the same Simone. ... But I feel the same. I just feel like I did my job tonight.” One that she does better than anyone else. Biles became the fourth straight American woman to capture the allaround and fifth overall. She and Raisman joined Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson in 2008 as the only U.S. gymnasts to win gold and silver in the same Olympic final. “I told her before today, ‘I want you to win and I want second,’ ” Raisman said. Something that seemed far from certain last fall. A three-time Olympic medalist in London, Raisman appeared to be on the outside of the picture looking in after a shaky performance at the world championships that left her “devastated.” Yet there she was 10 months later, standing on the podium with her fifth

Where beauty is skin deep

Joliet couple feels pageant competitions can help develop character By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – “I’m Princess Ramona. I skate and do ballet. I have a sash and crown. It sparkles.” So says the self-proclaimed princess. Ramona Edith Williams also models, competes in pageants and is a brand ambassador for T Star, a Chicago rap artist. As she is only 4, her titles outpace her age. Her parents, Clarence and Lucia Williams, who said they had children later in life, choose their children’s activities – Ramona’s as well as her brother Noah’s, who is 2 – with an eye toward their personalities and the confident, well-rounded adults this couple hopes they’ll become. They felt the pageant circuit was a good place to start for Ramona. “She was very outgoing and very talkative,” Clarence Williams said. “She basically liked being around people and in front of people talking to people; she was never shy. We thought it would be good to corral that energy.” Ramona was a natural from the start. “When she did a pageant at a mall, she waved to everybody and blew them kisses. We didn’t practice any of it,” Clarence Williams said. Nevertheless, Clarence and Lucia Williams are selective when deciding where Ramona will compete. For instance, Lucia Williams said, they avoid pageants where the focus is on false beauty: wigs, hair extensions, artificial nails, makeup and spray tans. “We align with the natural pageants,” Lucia Williams said, “where they just want to see children be children.”

Know more Ramona Williams is a busy little girl. Below is a summary of her accomplishments over the past several years. • August 2013 – Won Joliet Queen title at Sunburst Pageant preliminary. • May 2014 – Placed third runner up at Sunburst Pageants state finals. • July 2014 – Placed in the top 10 at Sunburst Pageant nationals in Atlanta, Georgia. • March 2015 – Crowned CCP Illinois Royalty Baby Queen. • June 2015 – Started ice skating.

On the other hand, Clarence and Lucia seek out pageants that are rooted in Christian values or have community service aspects to them, such as raising awareness for breast cancer. Clarence Williams said he and Lucia Williams stress to Ramona that her title and crown is an opportunity to serve, not to be served or seek out “glory and prizes.” They even help her pack up her outgrown clothing, which she donates to homeless shelters. “She has to do public appearances, and she’s collected food for churches,” Clarence Williams said. “We want to prepare her to be lady and help her community.” Despite precautions, the attention occasionally goes straight to Ramona’s head. When it does, her parents swiftly correct it, reminding her of rules and consequences. Clarence Williams said he sees those times as “teachable moments,” an opportunity to take her aside and said, “Hey, look.” “She’s not going to get special treatment because she’s queen,” Lucia Williams said. “I try to teach her that the purpose of the crown is not to be all ‘high and mighty,’ but to be kind and help others. Eventually, we’d like to help her find a platform she can focus on.” And Noah? He appears to be disinterested in pageants and more interested in sports. His parents are considering soccer. “The main thing is, you don’t want to push your children into doing something they [don’t] want to do,” Clarence Williams said.

34 Teens need sleep for brain development Dear Dr. K: My teenage daughter stays up late, then has a hard time waking up for school. I don’t think she’s getting enough sleep. What can I do to help her fall asleep at a reasonable time? Dear Reader: Not getting enough sleep can have serious consequences. This is especially true for children and adolescents, whose developing brains are very sensitive to insufficient sleep. Teens need as much sleep as do adults, maybe more. They need eight to 10 hours for optimal function, but studies have found few get this much sleep. Studies also find most teens tend to be “night owls”: They want to go to sleep late and get up late. But school doesn’t allow this. So they stay up later than they should, and get up before their inner clock would have them do so. Teens also have a tendency to “crash” on the weekends, sleeping in late when they can. This adjusts their inner clock in a way that makes it harder for them to awaken on time Monday morning. Because I’m not a pediatrician or a sleep expert, I sought advice from my colleague Dr. Dennis Rosen, associate medical director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Boston Children’s Hospital. Dr. Rosen cited a recent study published in the journal Sleep. In the study, researchers compared two groups of high school students. During the week, half the kids were chosen at random to sleep nine hours a night and the other half only five hours a night. Not surprisingly, the sleep-deprived kids demonstrated impaired cognitive function, alertness and mood during their week of five-hour nights as compared with their peers. It also took them more than two nights of

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff “recovery sleep” to catch up again. One way of helping kids get the sleep they need is by eliminating things that tempt them into staying awake. The most common reasons are electronic devices in the bedroom: TVs, computers, tablets and smartphones. Using such devices before sleep not only reduces the amount of time the kids sleep, but also causes poorer quality sleep. Another strategy to help your daughter fall asleep more easily is to remove stressors from her bedroom and encourage her to relax before bedtime. This means, for example, she should not do her homework in the bedroom (and never in bed). Have your daughter do her homework at the dining room table instead. This creates a distinct boundary between the pressures of the day and the comforting space of the bedroom. Likewise, encourage your daughter to end her day with 20 to 30 minutes of mindfulness practice, yoga or quiet reading. This can help your teen redirect herself to a different plane as she gets ready to sleep. Ideally, your teen will stick to a regular sleep schedule, going to sleep and waking up at the same time seven days a week. But I don’t need a sleep expert to tell me that’s probably a pipe dream. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

been divorced for a year and have two boys, ages 8 and 9. During this time, my ex-husband has introduced three different women to my children and recently introduced them to a new girlfriend he has been seeing for a few weeks. The first day they met the girlfriend, he had the children spend the night at her place. The woman has a 9-year-old son of her own. I do not find this appropriate. When I confronted my ex, he insisted there is no problem with it. How long do you recommend someone wait before introducing children to the person he/she is dating? – Caring Mom In Kansas Dear Caring Mom: Unless your ex is trying to teach his sons relationships are revolving doors, he should slow down the traffic. They need to spend time with their father, not their father plus one. Occasionally having a female friend join him and the boys is all right, provided they understand she’s just a friend. But he shouldn’t have been diluting the time he was spending with the boys during this first year to the extent he has. Dear Abby: My lesbian friend, “Giselle,” broke up with her significant other, whom she met over the internet. They actually have never met in person because her girlfriend, “Samantha,” lives in Canada, but Giselle says they were soul mates. Samantha has moved on and now has another sweetheart, but Giselle won’t move on. It has been many months and Giselle still is trapped in this bubble of sadness. She won’t stop talking about how much she loves Samantha. I kept reassuring her everything would be OK and maybe she would find somebody else like her internet friend did. After a few months, she became angry with me, and accused me of not being supportive of her trying to get Samantha back. She also accused me of not understanding “what girl-to-girl love is,” which makes no sense, considering I’m bi. Should I back off, or must I continue to be supportive of something I know can’t happen? –

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ll be given plenty of entertaining proposals as the year unfolds. Let go of any irresolvable problems so you can move on to more productive options. Improving your living space will have a huge impact on the way you feel and how you move forward. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Open your doors, host an event or take the time to spruce up your quarters. Don’t let the past keep you in limbo. Make changes now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t take anything or anyone for granted. Nothing will go the way you think. Self-awareness and self-help programs or a retreat will help you put your life

and relationships in perspective. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Offer your time, talent and knowledge to others, but not your hard-earned cash. Someone will recognize what you have to contribute and make an offer you can’t refuse. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – An organized approach to whatever you do will be impressive and will raise your profile. Someone from your past is likely to cause problems that can upset your personal life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Mull over certain concerns and their attendant options carefully. If you get involved in matters you know little about, you will be taken advantage of and put in a vulnerable position. Protect your reputation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Not everything will be a good fit for you when dealing with personal, financial or professional matters. Stick to what you know and do best. Love and romance look promising. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Set your plans in motion and step into the spotlight. Effect the changes that will make you happy. Taking control will empower you to do your own thing. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Keep your life simple and refuse to get embroiled in an argument that will leave you in a no-win situation. Focus inward and sign up for self-improvement projects. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A challenge will help you realize how much you have to offer

and encourage you to bring about change that will allow you to put your best foot forward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Spend time with the people you love. Visiting someone special or attending an event that will reconnect you with old friends will have a profound influence on you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Force, ultimatums or emotional manipulation must be avoided; such tactics will lead to financial, emotional or physical loss that will set you back. Avoid indulgence and deception. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Making changes at home or deciding to move from one place to another looks promising. A romantic relationship will provide you with the incentive required to follow your dreams.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE By EUGENIA LAST

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Take part in activities that will help you grow personally and emotionally. Don’t indulge in someone else’s dream when you should be following your own. Travel will entice you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Think about the consequences of your actions. You might feel compelled to lash out, but in the end, the

greatest satisfaction will come from what you do to help others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Learn from the company you keep. Get involved in a cause or event you believe in. It will change your life if you do your best to make a difference. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You are in a winning position. You will form lasting relationships with people heading in the same direction as you. An unusual but interesting change in attitude will lead to greater prosperity.

driver’s seat. You can turn a goal into reality. Your insight and ability to get things done will encourage others to support your effort. Romance is encouraged.

Your experimental nature is what will bring the best results. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will face travel delays. Don’t overreact, or a mishap will turn into an impossible task.
