JOLIET – Sentencing proceedings began Monday for the man convicted of fatally shooting a man inside a crowded Joliet restaurant.

Christopher L. Thompson, 34, faces at least 45 years in prison for the murder of Gerardo Franchini.

On Aug. 3, 2012, Franchini was eating breakfast with his wife Christopher and her young daughter Thompson and niece at Louis’ Family Restaurant, 1001 W. Jefferson St. in Joliet, when Thompson came in with a girlfriend. The two men, who had an ongoing feud, argued and Thompson left. About 15 minutes later, he returned while covering his face with a T-shirt, walked to Franchini’s table and shot him several

Defense attorney John Casey said Thompson would not address the court, but continues to deny he is the man who came into the restaurant and shot Franchini.

Capelli asked Rozak to sentence Thompson to life in prison and noted his

Woman attacked by 2 pit bulls in Joliet

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A woman was mauled by two pit bulls Sunday night on the far west side of Joliet.

Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said the 27-year-old Crest Hill woman had gone to her father’s house in the 1500 block of Cumberland Drive while he was out of town.

“The pit bulls were supposed to be at that residence. They didn’t wander in from another yard, but it’s unclear if her father

is the dogs’ owner,” Gregory said Monday.

Gregory said the victim told police she was cleaning up the enclosed backyard about 8:10 p.m. when the dogs “attacked her without warning.”

A woman who lives in the next block called 911 and a police officer arrived to find the woman “covered in blood, lying on the ground in the backyard with one dog biting her head and the other clamping down on her legs,” Gregory said.

The officer “feared for the woman’s life” and shot the dog that was biting her legs

in the side by its hindquarters, Gregory said. Both animals took off running after the shot was fired and the officer stood between them and the victim until she could be loaded into an ambulance.

The woman was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet with injuries to her head, face, arms and legs. She is expected to survive, but her condition was not available Monday.

The dog that was shot died a short time later. Animal Control officers took it and the living dog from the scene, Gregory said.

Two teens shot at Lockport Township party

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – Two teens were shot early Sunday at a family party in Lockport Township.

Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said police were called about 3 a.m. to the 17000 block of Oak Avenue after the attack was reported.

Deputies arrived to find several cars fleeing the area and one parked vehicle

previous convictions in 1999 and 2002 for illegally possessing a firearm.

“With this incident in 2013, we have a man who has spent 14 years carrying guns and unfortunately for the victim in this case ... he used it,” Capelli said.

Edna Franchini said that despite her husband’s past history, he was working full time for an insulation manufacturer and taking care of many household chores before he was killed.

The Franchinis had gone out to breakfast to tell her daughter that she would become a big sister. Edna Franchini said it fills her with sorrow that her son will never meet his father.

“There is no number of years the defendant can receive that would satisfy me; he can still talk to his family,” she wrote in a statement to the judge.

Rozak said Monday he will consider the matter and issue Thompson’s sentence Sept. 7.

with the side window and front windshield shattered by bullets, Hoffmeyer said.

Witnesses told deputies that guests had been dancing to a DJ’s music when someone began shooting from an unknown direction, Hoffmeyer said. While everyone scattered, they saw a 15-yearold girl lying near the vehicle that had been struck.

“The girl was then carried to another vehicle by friends and was driven to

Silver Cross Hospital with a gunshot wound to her leg,” Hoffmeyer said.

When deputies arrived at the hospital in New Lenox, they learned a 19-yearold man who’d also been at the party had been brought to the hospital by friends and was being treated for a gunshot wound to his leg.

Both victims’ injuries were not considered life-threatening, Hoffmeyer said.

The incident was under investigation Monday.

JJC plans to grow educational opportunities at Morris center

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College is sharing space with two other occupants at the former Shabbona Middle School in Morris – and is looking to expand to offer more educational opportunities in Grundy County.

Caroline Portlock, JJC’s workforce development director, looked last week at a map of the building, more than 5,000 square feet of which is occupied by the college’s Morris Education Center. JJC will share the space with Morris District 54 and the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative.

While the center currently is in one wing of the building, there’s room for expansion into other classrooms, science labs and other areas. JJC officials hope with a new location they can grow the enrollment from 300 to 600 students in the Morris area.

“This is all opportunity to grow,” Portlock said.

Shabbona is no longer being used as a middle school by District 54, as the school board decided to have all students in grades pre-K through eighth grade in one building, White Oak, starting with the 2016-17 academic year.

When the board made the decision in March, it noted the district had a $2.4 million deficit budget and the move into one building would save at least $400,000 annually. District officials also noted the projected savings would not eliminate any certified teachers.

Shabbona has instead become the new home for the Morris Education Center since the JJC Board of Trustees approved a new lease in June. The center offers general education, business and computer courses, and provides a resource area for job seekers. JJC Trustee Michael O’Connell has said in the past the former location of the center cost the college about $90,000 a year, while the new place will be $36,000 at the most.

Portlock was one of the supporters of the new location, saying it would offer more space, as well as enhance the college’s image and partnership opportunities.

She was at the center Aug. 11 with other staff members putting rooms together.

“We’re thrilled with the opportunity this has given us,” Portlock said.

liked is that, unlike the old location along Route 47 in Morris, the class-

rooms have windows.

The previous spot at 1715 N. Division

St. was what Portlock described as an old storefront. It had three classrooms, a computer lab and offered English as a second language and general education development programs.

The location at Shabbona Middle School will allow JJC to double its classroom and computer lab space.

The partnership opportunities with Morris Education Center are evident with where the center is located. The center is less than a mile from the Grundy Area Vocational Center and Morris

Onesti back in as player in bid for Rialto More online

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The search for a third-party manager at the Rialto Square Theatre took some new twists Monday.

Pinnacle Venue Services introduced Ron Onesti as part of its “team” in the midst of an online petition drive aimed at getting Onesti the job.

Onesti, who runs the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, had made a pitch for third-party manager but was not one of the two finalists picked by a Rialto committee that held its last meeting Monday. He is being promoted, however, by a Rialto board member who helped start the petition drive.

The Rialto board meets at 4 p.m.

Wednesday to pick between Pinnacle, which is based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and VenuWorks, which is based in Ames, Iowa. Both companies made final presentations to the selection committee on Monday.

Onesti spoke to the Rialto committee on Monday while taking part in the Pinnacle presentation and then went to a City Council workshop meeting, where his supporters suggested that the council intervene on Onesti’s behalf. Onesti also spoke to the council.

The council decided to ask Rialto Chairman Dan Vera to appear before them at their meeting on Tuesday to discuss the selection process.

“I’ve been getting dozens of questions about the process,” O’Dekirk said after the meeting, adding that Vera may be able to clarify some things.

Visit this story at TheHerald-News.com for video from the presentations made to the Rialto Square Theatre committee on Monday.

“It’s as much as a shock to me as it is to you, folks.”

Ron Onesti

Part of Pinnacle Venue Services team The push for Onesti is being led at least in part by Rialto board member Mary Beth Gannon, who backed Onesti while the rest of the selection committee ranked it last among the five companies that submitted proposals.

Gannon at the meeting gave kudos to Pinnacle for making Onesti part of its team.

“I’d really like to commend you for recognizing that this community, this area, wants Onesti to be part of the Ri-

alto,” said Gannon.

Onesti described his arrival to the Pinnacle team as “a curve ball” when talking to the Rialto committee.

“It’s as much as a shock to me as it is to you, folks,” he said.

Pinnacle managing partner Doug Higgons told the committee that his company would work with Onesti’s Arcada Theatre in promoting shows and bringing acts to the Rialto.

“I believe that our relationship

with Ron and his theater down in St. Charles will be a huge benefit with us working together,” Higgons said.

VenuWorks, meanwhile, gave a final presentation described by Rialto’s newest board member, Michael Murray, as “very thorough, very well thought out.”

VenuWorks President Steve Peters started out the presentation showing city subsidies at theaters he said were comparable to the Rialto as an indication on how the company can manage finances at the facilities it operates.

Subsidies are an issue for the Rialto, since it has depended on $600,000 in annual city funding that it may not get next year.

The subsidies presented by Peters ranged from $5,600 at the Adler Theater in Davenport, Iowa, to $88,000 at the Ames Center in Burnsville, Minnesota.

Peters proposed reducing the Joliet subsidy to the Rialto to $125,000 over three years. But he called the timetable “aggressive.”

“These aren’t guarantees,” he told the Rialto committee. “There’s a lot we’ve got to know about your budget.”

PLAINFIELD

Reconstruction of 127th Street is moving along

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Village of Plainfield trustees were given an update Monday on a significant road project, one in which the village is responsible for less than a third of the cost.

The improvements to 127th Street, an east-west roadway at the northern end of the village, will span from Heggs Road at the west to Route 30 at the east.

The project includes a three-lane roadway from Heggs to 150 feet east of the Northwest Community Park Entrance.

The engineers’ estimated the project to cost about $3.6 million, but no bid

was more than $3.4 million. The low bidder, D Construction, entered a bid of $2.673 million. No action was taken Monday night, but Public Works Director Allen Persons said the contract should be awarded within the month.

He said the reason for such a big difference between the estimate and actual bids is difficult to say for sure until a bid breakdown is made available to the village.

When the contract comes in, the village will have to pay only about $673,000 of the cost. The village was awarded in 2014 a $2 million federal grant for the project. The Illinois Department of Transportation will han-

dle paperwork on the project while the village is in charge of engineering oversight.

Persons said the project received overwhelming support at a public meeting and progressed quickly through the various stages of governmental agency approval. It’s expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

In relation to the 127th Street work, the board unanimously approved an agreement with Nicor Gas, for a gas main relocation along 127th Street at a cost of no more than $67,227. Persons said Nicor has a franchise agreement with the village in which it is within Nicor’s rights to ask for a reimburse-

ment in a case such as this.

The board then unanimously approved a contract supplement with engineering firm Baxter and Woodman for the 127th Street reconstruction project in the amount of $20,457.60. Persons said the firm put in a lot of work that helped fast-track the project, meeting almost monthly with IDOT. In other public works news, the board unanimously approved an agreement with Christopher B. Burke Engineering for the James Street/River Road street lighting project at an amount not to exceed $21,200. Trustees said this will greatly improve safety in the area, especially for children.

No strike on first day for Minooka High School

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Union bus drivers and aides were not seen picketing Monday morning, the first day of school at Minooka High School District 111.

Teamsters Local 179 filed notices of intent to District 111 and District 201 two weeks ago, citing difficulties over the first contract negotiations between the

districts and their bus drivers and aides.

Tom Flynn, Teamsters Local 179 president, said Monday that he couldn’t tell when the strike would occur. He said the union was willing to negotiate as soon as the districts are.

“I’m still, still hoping this can be averted, but they have to give a little,” Flynn said.

No strike appeared to have occurred Monday. A partnership was formed

between District 111 and 201 to allow school to begin and provide transportation as usual, regardless of a strike, according to a District 111 FAQ. “We’re off to a great start,” District 111 Superintendent Kenneth Lee said about the first day of school.

District officials said Monday morning went as scheduled and drivers reported to work.

Lee and District 201 Superintendent

Kris Monn said they didn’t know when Teamsters Local 179 would strike.

Monn said district officials have requested advance notice, but so far the union declined. He said he thinks the strike may occur on the first day of school for District 201, which is Wednesday.

“We don’t suspect we would get a notice, but we would appreciate it if they would,” he said.

Plainfield D-202 buildings being cleaned after mold was found

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield School District 202 schools and facilities are being cleaned after staff found small amounts of mold called Cladosporium in several buildings.

District 202 Superintendent Lane Abrell emailed a letter Friday afternoon about how small amounts of Cladosporium mold were found in classrooms at five school buildings: • Thomas Jefferson Elementary School (nine classrooms) • Central Elementary School (two classrooms)

• Liberty Elementary School (two classrooms) • Plainfield Academy (two classrooms) • Meadow View Elementary School (seven classrooms) Since Thursday, district officials said they had cleaning company ServPro clean all schools and facilities as a precaution.

ServPro still is working but will be done by Wednesday for the start of the 2016-17 academic year, district spokesman Tom Hernandez wrote in an email Monday.

Another precautionary measure by the district is having temperatures in

the buildings set to remain at a constant 75 degrees every day.

Abrell wrote that certain levels of mold are acceptable as determined by health officials, including mold on grass and in the air, depending on the weather.

“The level of mold that was found in all five buildings was below those acceptable levels,” Abrell wrote. “Our buildings are safe and will be ready for staff on Monday and when students to return Wednesday.”

Cladosporium is a common indoor mold along with penicillium, alternaria and aspergillus, according to the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Cladosporium is a very rare cause of human illness but has been known to cause several types of infections – such as skin, eye, sinus and brain infections – and the mold has been associated with allergies and asthma, according to the CDC. Abrell cited the recent extreme hot and humid weather as perfect conditions for mold growth indoors and outdoors. Air-quality testing confirmed that environmental and weather conditions caused the mold at Thomas Jefferson, he wrote.

HEALTH NOTIFICATIONS

Proposed tax expansion’s open house will get extra notice

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city in effect will hand deliver invitations to next week’s open house on a proposed expansion of the downtown business tax.

The city has scheduled an open house for 4 to 6 p.m. Aug. 24 in the Council Chambers at City Hall regarding the proposed expansion of the special service area.

If the City Council ultimately approves the expansion, the property tax on downtown businesses would be expanded to take in business property on Cass, South Chicago and Collins streets.

City officials on Monday said they will hire a company to deliver notices

of the open house to businesses affected by the potential tax increase. The decision was made after one councilman had raised concerns that businesses might not be aware of the event.

The tax is 95 cents per $100 in assessed valuation. It is estimated to result in an 8.6 percent property tax increase for businesses affected by the tax.

The proposal was reviewed last week by the Joliet City Council Economic Development Committee, where Chairman Larry Hug suggested the city do a special mailing to all properties in the proposed special service area.

The city does plan such a mailing for a public hearing on the special service area to be scheduled in October but had not planned the mailing for the open house.

If you go n WHAT: Open House with information on proposal to expand downtown special service area tax to Cass, South Chicago and Collins streets. n WHEN: 4 to 6 p.m. Aug. 24 n WHERE: Council Chamber at City Hall, 150 W. Jefferson St. Joliet “I think we should be just as thorough for the open house as we are for the public hearing,” Hug said.

Hug said he was concerned that people who first found out about the special service area in the mailing for the public hearing would be upset that they were not notified about the open house.

Councilman Terry Morris also said extra notice would be helpful.

Hug said Monday that staff determined they could hire a service at a low fee to hand deliver notices of the meeting to the businesses.

Economic Development Director Steve Jones told the committee that he has discussed the special service area with the City Center Partnership board, the executive board of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and Alianza De Negocios, a chamber subgroup for Latino businesses The city plans to use the estimated $230,000 a year to be generated by the expansion of the special service area to install field turf at Silver Cross Field, redesign Chicago Street and several other projects.

Feds: Marijuana plants found in Lockport Township house

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – A 58-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly growing marijuana at a house in unincorporated Lockport Township.

Community High School.

“This is an ideal location,” said Randall Fletcher, JJC academic affairs vice president.

Fletcher will be leading the effort to bring more students to the Morris Education Center and expand its course offerings. He said the larger space will allow for more general education courses, but eventually JJC would like to offer certificate programs.

Another opportunity the center could offer is offering high school students dual enrollment, he said. They could take courses and get a head start on college, he said.

“It definitely would be an untapped need in the area,” he said.

The new location gives JJC officials the higher education environment they’ve been longing for, he said. Now the college has to continue to market it to students and continue asking residents what they want in their education, he said.

“It’ll take time,” he said.

Protesters demonstrate outside of Coal City and Lockport gun stores Monday

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Protesters with the volunteer group Peaceful Communities braved the rain Monday afternoon as they picketed against gun violence outside Southland Firearms in Coal City.

“We are going from one end of the state to the other demonstrating in front of gun shops and gun manufacturers,” said Lee Goodman of Northbrook.

“The entire industry should take responsibility and be held accountable for their actions.”

Inside Southland Firearms, owner Joe Smit said he isn’t sure why the group picked his store, but he was grateful to see his customers and members of the NRA come out to support his business.

The business, which operates out of a small storefront on the corner of Division and First streets in Coal City, was bustling as customers made purchases of targets, ammunition and even pon-

“We might be small in numbers, but we’re big. There needs to be something done about the trafficking of guns into inner cities where there are no gun mills, in communities where there aren’t gun shops.”

Rev. Dr. Norris E. Jackson Jr. St. Paul AME Church in Glencoe

chos to stay dry during the protest.

“We are a peaceful community.

Peaceful Communities coming here will be the biggest disturbance we’ve seen,” Smit said.

The four members of Peaceful Communities remained across the street from the store, holding their signs hoping their message would get out. Earlier in the day, Peaceful Communities

also protested outside a Lockport gun store.

“We might be small in numbers, but we’re big,” said the Rev. Dr. Norris E. Jackson Jr. of St. Paul AME Church in Glencoe. “There needs to be something done about the trafficking of guns into inner cities where there are no gun mills, in communities where there aren’t gun shops.”

He said he would like to see a legislative fix to address the sellers of guns that are used in criminal activity when they are traced back.

“My hope is someone will do something, not just sit back and talk and do nothing,” Jackson said. “We’re trying to raise awareness by going to gun stores and letting them know that someone is watching.”

Coal City Police Chief Tom Best was at the protest, along with other Coal City police, in case protesters got out of hand.

After an hour, the four protesters left peacefully and the crowd broke up.

JOLIET – The Lower DuPage Watershed Coalition is conducting a water quality survey in more than a half-dozen Will County communities near the DuPage River to help direct resources toward solving the most pressing problems of the waterway.

Bolingbrook, Channahon, Crest Hill, Joliet, Minooka, Naperville, Plainfield, Romeoville and Shorewood residents are being asked to fill out the online survey. Questions ask for residents’ opinions of the river; what activities they do in and around the river; and what they believe to be threats to the river’s well-being.

It also seeks feedback about whether residents, and their respective communities, have a responsibility to help maintain water quality.

“The survey will help guide how we communicate with the public and get a good feel for what they value regarding the watershed,” Lower DuPage River Watershed Coalition coordinator Jennifer Hammer said. “Our hope is to be able to change behaviors.”

Some actions that can harm water quality, Hammer said, include the use of fertilizers and road salt, and whether leaves end up in the street or sewer

systems.

While a $3 million Army Corps of Engineers study focuses mostly on flooding issues in the 28.3-mile river – a Des Plaines River tributary – the coalition is more focused on water quality. Hammer said the coalition uses data collection to help implement projects that can improve the river’s health.

“We’re looking at how to communicate better with communities, to figure out what they value around the river,” Hammer said. “They could be really key in helping the health of the river.”

A healthy DuPage is beneficial to more than just the area, as it flows into the Des Plaines River, which flows into the Illinois River, which flows into the Mississippi River and on to the Gulf of Mexico.

According to the coalition’s website, the lower DuPage River watershed covers 168 square miles and encompasses portions of 13 municipalities. The majority of the watershed is within Will County, although portions are also in DuPage, Grundy and Kendall counties. There are 166 stream miles within the watershed.

The deadline to complete the survey, at www.surveymonkey.com/r/ LowerDuPageRiver, is Sept. 2.

Man at center of school desegregation lawsuit dies at 75

By SEANNA ADCOX The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Harry Briggs Jr., who as a young boy was at the center of a lawsuit that culminated with the U.S. Supreme Court outlawing segregated public schools, has died. He was 75.

Briggs died Aug. 9 at his home in New York City, according to Samuels Funeral Home in Manning, South Carolina. A funeral is scheduled for Friday in a community center that formerly housed the school attended by Briggs, several younger siblings, and many of the other students involved in the lawsuit.

Briggs’ parents, Harry and Eliza Briggs, were the first two of more than 100 signers of a 1949 petition seeking equal treatment for black students in Clarendon County. Harry Jr. – then just 8 years old – was the third. The petition said black children were forced

to attend schools that lacked adequate heat, lighting and running water.

Briggs’ youngest sibling, Nathaniel Briggs, said Monday that his parents and many others in the community sacrificed greatly to stand up for what was right.

“They banded together to correct the injustice of unequal education,” said the 68-year-old of Teaneck, New Jersey. “Lots of people paid the price in reprisals.”

The case began in 1947 with black parents seeking a bus for their children, who were walking up to 9 miles to school each way.

Briggs Jr. was among those who walked as white students traveled the same road in buses.

“They had school buses and we had nothing,” he told The Associated Press in 2002. Briggs is portrayed in the 1991 movie “Separate But Equal,” as a young boy walking down a road with a

passing bus throwing dust in his face.

When the initial case was thrown out on a technicality, parents pursued a bolder lawsuit challenging segregation.

Briggs v. Elliott, filed in 1950, was the first of five cases that were eventually combined and led to the high court’s landmark 1954 decision declaring segregation unconstitutional. The decision is named for the Kansas case: Brown v. Board of Education.

Harry and Eliza Briggs were among four South Carolinians posthumously honored in 2004 with Congressional Gold Medals for their roles in ending segregation. The others were the Rev. Joseph A. DeLaine, a principal who helped organize petitioners, and Levi Pearson, a black farmer who put his name on the initial suit.

Both Harry and Eliza Briggs were fired after the court filing. In the 2002 interview, Briggs recounted how he

watched his father struggle to provide for the family after losing his job at a local filling station. His mother had been a maid.

“He tried farming, but he couldn’t make it,” he said of his father. “They wouldn’t sell you any seed. They wouldn’t sell you the basics for farming,” Briggs said. “He gave up and he went to Florida.”

Nathaniel Briggs called the retaliation his family faced “economic terrorism.”

He said his father was forced to move to Miami to find work in 1957.

In 1960, the family split up, with Harry Jr. moving with a brother to New York, and Nathaniel moving with his mom and two siblings to Miami with only what they could take aboard a Greyhound bus, Nathaniel Briggs said.

Eventually the entire family ended up in New York.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – The stopgap budget that’s keeping Illinois finances flowing has helped this year’s Illinois State Fair workers after many were left unpaid last year.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the $1.5 million in payments started coming in shortly before this year’s fair started last week and as Gov. Bruce Rauner tries to put a greater emphasis on the annual agriculture celebration.

Last year, more than 850 vendors who do tasks such as providing first aid, judging sheep shearing, shooting off fireworks and running the tractor pull contest weren’t paid. The stopgap budget means vendors are scheduled to be paid on time this year.

News from across the state No decision yet in Illinois’ transgender bathroom case

CHICAGO – A federal magistrate judge said Monday that he will not immediately rule on a dispute at a suburban Chicago school district over transgender student access to girls’ locker rooms and restrooms.

Although the timeline is unclear, U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert said he will eventually issue a report with his recommendation on an injunction to U.S. District Judge Jorge Alonso.

The conservative group Students and Parents for Privacy filed a lawsuit on behalf of dozens of parents with links to Palatine-based Township High School District 211. The lawsuit argues federal authorities forced the district to adopt a policy that tramples on the privacy rights of other students.

A transgender student at William

Fremd High School in Palatine drew attention to the issue in November when she complained to the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights that she was denied access to facilities for the gender she identifies with. In response, federal authorities found the school district in violation of Title IX, the federal law that bans discrimination based on gender.

The district in December allowed the student access to restrooms and locker rooms to settle the complaint. The settlement allowed the district to keep millions in federal funding and forgo possible legal action.

Trooper’s vehicle strikes, kills man on highway

EAST PEORIA – Authorities said an Illinois State trooper’s vehicle struck and killed a Freeport man who was walking in the middle of a highway in East Peoria.

Illinois State Police said the incident happened early Saturday on Route 116.

The Tazewell County Coroner’s Office identified the man as 44-year-old Jarett J. Simons of Freeport.

Authorities said a preliminary inves-

tigation found the trooper was driving in the left lane when the vehicle struck Simons. The highway isn’t illuminated in that area.

Officials said the trooper didn’t have time to react before the vehicle struck Simons. The trooper wasn’t hurt. He wasn’t identified.

Simons’ brother, Greg Simons, said he last saw Jarett Simons on Thursday and didn’t know why he was in East Peoria.

The case is under investigation.

Illinois crew battles forest fires in Idaho, Oregon

WILMINGTON – A northern Illinois firefighting crew that was deployed to fight a blaze in the Boise National Forest has now moved to work on a fire in Oregon.

The Midewin Interagency Hotshot Crew is on its eighth two-week assignment this year. The fire near Burns, Oregon, will be the group’s last mission for 2016.

The 20-person crew uses helicopter operations, chain saws, pumps and engines to fight fires. They have battled blazes already this season in Montana and Arizona.

year dropped to more than 411,500, nearly half of what it was the year before. Fair officials said past numbers were inflated, noting that parking and gate revenues were down just $55,000 from 2014.

Illinois Department of Agriculture Director Phil Nelson and Illinois State Fair chief Patrick Buchen resigned just a month after last year’s fair. Buchen said they were forced out after pushing back against the Rauner administration’s interference. The governor’s office accused Buchen of “erratic behavior.”

The governor is hoping to turn things around at this year’s fair. New management is in place and is taking steps with the hope of generating more money.

Fairgoers were asked to pay $5 for admission to preview night, which used to be free. The move is expected to raise $100,000 alone.

Admission for the rest of the fair was raised to $10 a day, up from $7, with children 12 and under allowed to enter for free. Parking also increased to $10 on Fridays and Saturdays and $5 on other days of the week.

The group is hosted by the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington, located about 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The team is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Crew members typically work 16-hour days while on assignment, returning home for two days off before heading back to work.

E. St. Louis school replaces windows after vandalism

EAST ST. LOUIS – A Catholic school in East St. Louis has raised $100,000 to replace windows that were broken by vandals a year ago.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported that Sister Thea Bowman Catholic School raised the money after windows were broken in the science and computer labs.

School officials said the new windows will provide more security, be energy efficient and provide shade control.

Roberta Trost is a director at the school.

Trost said the school also is raising money to replace all the other windows at the school.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Biden: Trump ‘thoroughly witnesses about the chain-reacunqualified’ for presidency tion scare that rippled through SCRANTON, Pa. – Vice President Joe Biden assailed Donald Trump’s ability to lead America at home and abroad on Monday, branding him as indifferent to the needs of Americans in his first campaign appearance with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Biden, who decided not to make a third presidential bid last year, said in his native city of Scranton that Trump was “totally, thoroughly unqualified” to be president, calling him a dangerous voice on national security and foreign policy.

On the economy, he said, Trump’s reveling in his TV reality show tag line, “You’re fired,” showed his true colors.

“He’s trying to tell us he cares about the middle class? Give me a break. It’s such a bunch of malarkey,” Biden told a crowd of about 3,000 at Riverfront Sports, adding: “He doesn’t have a clue.”

Did Bolt’s Olympic dash trigger JFK airport scare?

NEW YORK – Did boisterous celebrations over an Olympic victory by the world’s fastest man lead to a false alarm about gunfire and a panicked evacuation of Kennedy Airport?

That’s one of the possibilities police were exploring Monday as they reviewed security camera footage and interview

two airport terminals Sunday night in the minutes after Usain Bolt sprinted to a gold medal victory in the 100-meter dash.

An internal New York Police Department briefing document, obtained by The Associated Press, said a preliminary video review showed that some travelers had started to act “extremely disruptive” while watching the Olympics on televisions in Terminal 8.

That set off a chain reaction, with other people running away from the commotion, the document said.

Bill Cosby’s attempt to reseal testimony rejected

PHILADELPHIA– A federal appeals court on Monday rejected Bill Cosby’s effort to reseal his deposition testimony about extramarital affairs, prescription sedatives and payments to women, saying the documents are now a matter of public knowledge.

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled that the comedian’s appeal was moot.

“The contents of the documents are a matter of public knowledge, and we cannot pretend that we could change that fact by ordering them resealed,” the court wrote in an opinion.

Trump wants ‘extreme vetting’ of immigrants

By JILL COLVIN and JULIE PACE The Associated Press

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Donald Trump on Monday called for “extreme” ideological vetting of immigrants seeking admission to the U.S., vowing to significantly overhaul the country’s screening process and block those who sympathize with extremist groups or don’t embrace American values.

“Those who do not believe in our Constitution, or who support bigotry and hatred, will not be admitted for immigration into our country,” Trump said in a foreign policy address in Youngstown, Ohio.

“Only those who we expect to flourish in our country – and to embrace a tolerant American society – should be issued visas.”

Trump’s proposals were the latest version of a policy that began with his unprecedented call to temporarily bar foreign Muslims from entering the country – a religious test that was criticized across party lines as un-American.

The Republican nominee has made stricter immigration measures a central part of his proposals for defeating the Islamic State, a battle he said Monday is akin to the Cold War struggle against communism. He called for parents, teachers and others to promote “American culture” and encouraged “assimilation.”

Trump’s address comes during a trying stretch for his presidential campaign. He’s struggled to stay on message and build a consistent case against Democrat Hillary Clinton, repeatedly roiling the White House race with provocative comments that have deeply frustrated many in his own party.

Clinton has seized on Republican concerns about Trump, highlighting the steady stream of GOP national security experts who say their party’s nominee is unfit to

She kept up that argument Monday as she campaigned alongside Vice President Joe Biden in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a working class area where both have family ties.

Biden called Trump’s views “dangerous” and “un-American.” He warned that Trump’s false assertions last week about President Barack Obama founding the Islamic State could be used by extremists to target American service members in Iraq.

“The threat to their life has gone up a couple clicks,” Biden said.

Trump has since said he was being sarcastic in accusing Obama of founding IS. Still, he directly blamed the president and Clinton, who served as secretary of state, for backing policies that “unleashed” the group, including withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq in late 2011.

He also challenged Clinton’s fitness to be president, declaring she lacks the “mental and physical stamina” to take on the Islamic State.

Trump was vague about what he would do differently to decimate IS in its strongholds in Iraq and Syria. He vowed to partner with any country that shares his goal of defeating the extremist group, regardless of other strategic

disagreements, and named Russia as a nation he would like to improve relations with.

Russia and the U.S. have been discussing greater coordination in Syria, where IS is part of a volatile mix of groups fighting for power. But they have been unable to reach an agreement on which militant groups could be targeted.

Trump also vowed to end “our current strategy of nation-building and regime change” – a criticism that extends to policies of both parties. He panned the long, expensive Iraq War started under Republican President George W. Bush, as well as Obama’s calls for new leadership in some Middle East countries during the pro-democracy Arab Spring uprisings.

Obama has held up Bush’s years-long commitment to setting up and securing a new government in Iraq after the initial invasion as a reason to avoid U.S. military intervention in countries like Syria.

Trump’s most specific anti-Islamic State proposals centered on keeping those seeking to carry out attacks in the West from entering the U.S. He said attacks involving “immigrants or the children of immigrants” underscore the need to implement “extreme vetting.”

Unrest erupted after black man was fatally shot by black officer

By TODD RICHMOND The Associated Press

People protest and block traffic Sunday in Milwaukee. Police said one person was shot at a Milwaukee protest Sunday evening, and officers used an armored vehicle to retrieve the injured victim during a second night of unrest over the police shooting of a black man, but there was no repeat of widespread destruction of property. shot someone that the shooting will be controversial “so let’s have a riot.”

Cecil Brewer, 67, who owns an apartment house directly across from the intersection where protesters burned a gas station on Saturday night and hurled rocks at police on Sunday night, said the rioting was all but inevitable.

“There’s so much anger in these kids,” Brewer said. The shooting “was like a spark in a powder keg. It doesn’t matter to them if what the authorities are saying is true.”

On Monday, the mayor issued a proclamation applying the city’s curfew to 17-year-olds. Until then, it had applied to teenagers 16 or younger.

Barrett also moved the summer curfew back by one hour, to 10 p.m., and warned that the rule would be enforced more tightly.

The problems began Saturday afternoon when police stopped a rental car that was driving suspiciously, Flynn said. Sylville Smith bolted from the car with a gun, leading an officer on a short foot chase before the officer shot the 23-year-old. Police said the man was fleeing a traffic stop but released few other details.

The violence erupted later that evening.

During a news conference around

midnight calling for calm, Barrett said people were gathering at the scene when he left at 5 p.m. Saturday, but they were peaceful and he thought everything was under control.

At another news conference Sunday afternoon, Flynn offered new details, revealing that the officer who opened fire was black, like Smith, and said body-camera video showed Smith had turned toward the officer and refused to drop his weapon. He also said the officer shot Smith in the chest and arm. Some people interviewed on the north side had speculated that Smith was shot in the back.

The body-camera footage has not been released. It’s in the custody of the state Justice Department, which is leading the investigation into the shooting.

Flynn activated the department’s 150-member crowd-control team on Sunday night, and Gov. Scott Walker put the National Guard on standby if needed. Hundreds of people gathered near the scene of the shooting that evening, but remained peaceful. Most of them eventually dispersed.

Around 10:30 p.m., however, a group of perhaps 100 demonstrators began marching through the streets, eventually blocking an intersection next to a BP gas station that burned

down the night before. They threw bottles, chunks of concrete and rocks at officers. Dozens of officers arrived and forced the group down the street.

Seven officers were injured and 14 people were arrested by the time it was over. An 18-year-old was shot near the intersection. Police had to use an armored vehicle to rescue him.

He was taken to a hospital, but Flynn said his life was not in danger.

Smith’s death was just the latest in a string of shootings involving police and black men to spark demonstrations and protests.

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where 37-year-old Alton Sterling was fatally shot in July during a struggle with two white police officers, protests largely dissipated after three law enforcement officers were killed in a shooting attack that appeared to target police.

Demonstrations also unfolded after 32-year-old Philando Castile was shot and killed in suburban St. Paul, Minnesota, during a traffic stop by a Latino police officer. Those protests dwindled in the ensuing weeks.

Last year, the state Justice Department agreed to review Milwaukee police procedures after a white officer shot Dontre Hamilton, a mentally ill black man, in a downtown park during a scuffle.

• Tuesday, August 16, 2016

MILWAUKEE – After a night of violence that left half a dozen businesses in flames, the Milwaukee police chief expressed surprise at the level of unrest that erupted after the fatal shooting of a black man by a black officer.

“This was, quite frankly, unanticipated,” Chief Edward Flynn said Monday, two days after the worst of the rioting hit the Sherman Park neighborhood on the city’s economically depressed and largely black north side.

The chief’s statement raised questions about whether authorities could have taken steps to curb the violence, perhaps by sharing details of the shooting earlier, including the officer’s race or footage from his body camera.

Randolph McLaughlin, a Pace University law professor and a civilrights attorney, questioned how Milwaukee leaders could have expected the streets to stay quiet on Saturday night given the national debate about law enforcement and race.

“For a mayor to say everything’s fine (and) we just killed somebody, that’s turning a blind eye to his town,” McLaughlin said.

He said Mayor Tom Barrett should have reached out to residents and community leaders and asked, “What do we need to do to make sure your community is safe?” McLaughlin said.

“He needs to stay on the job.”

David Klinger, a University of Missouri-St. Louis sociology professor who studies police use of deadly force, said it would not necessarily have helped for police to release the officer’s race sooner. He pointed out that the city saw disruptions on Sunday night, after his race had been publicized, although the intensity was less than the previous night.

He also said the city may have hesitated to give the officer’s race sooner for fear it would identify him.

Remy Cross, a criminologist at Webster University in St. Louis, said the officer’s race probably does not matter to many people in the community.

“They see the institution as racist, not the individual,” Cross said. “Once you put on the uniform, you’re blue, and blue sees black as bad.”

Flynn said it was “an error in narrative to assume” that because police

Municipal bonds explained

Dear Mr. Berko: I’ve been reading your column for 35 years and in all that time I don’t ever recall that you wrote about municipal bonds. What can you tell me about them? Last year, I had a taxable income of $229,000 and because I’ve been single since 2012, my tax bracket is 33 percent. It will be about the same in future years, though I may marry again. I have $53,000 to invest for long-term income and my broker recommended Goldman Sachs Dynamic Municipal Bond Fund, which has a 3.3 percent current yield.

Is this good to buy or do you recommend a better municipal bond?

– JC: Oklahoma City, OK Dear JC: According to Oscar Wilde, your first marriage is “the triumph of imagination over intelligence.” And if you marry again some would call a second marriage the “triumph of hope over experience,” but it would lower your tax bracket from 33 percent to 28 percent.

I can tell you more than you need to know. But to start, it’s an active and fluid market with innumerous active participants. Municipal bonds (often shortened to muni or muni bonds) are debt securities issued by state and local governments to finance a wide

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko range of public and private sector projects – and the interest income is not federally taxable. For our purposes, we’re only discussing municipal bonds that are not subject to federal taxation.

In 1975, the aggregate principal value of all outstanding muni bonds was just under $245 billion, which represented about 7,000 issuers. Today’s $4 trillion municipal bond market represents 44,000 state and local government agencies, and is hugely diverse.

Issuers include states, counties, cities, townships, villages and special-purpose entities such as highway, school district, water and sewer authorities, economic development bonds, hospital, government housing, airport and seaports bonds. About 55 percent of these municipal bonds are owned by individual investors, 30 percent by individuals through mutual funds and money market accounts, and the remaining 15 percent is owned by banks, trust accounts and corpora-

tions. On an average, $13.4 billion of muni bonds are traded each day. By comparison, there are about 51,000 corporate bond issues outstanding with a principal value of about $12.7 trillion and some $25 billion are traded daily.

The Goldman Sachs fund (GSMIX) fund owns $800 million in muni bonds, has a current yield of 3.3 percent, an annual expense ratio of 1.01 percent and the broker will decamp with a $1,987.50 commission (3.75 percent of $53,000) after peddling it to you. The first year’s cost of $2,522.80 (management fee plus commission) to own this is absurdly larger that your first year’s interest income of $1,749. And that’s obscene especially since the monthly dividend has declined 20 percent since 2011. But for someone in your bracket, that’s equivalent to a 4.9 percent taxable return. Still GSMIX’s one-year, three-year and five-year total returns are 7.3 percent, 4.8 percent and 5.5 percent, which are certainly better than any bank CD. But tell your broker to “stuff it,” and then open an account with a discount brokerages in OKC. Then for a total $7.95 commission charge, purchase $53,000 of SPDR Nuveen S&P High Yield Municipal Bond Exchange

Traded Fund (HYMB-$59.68) This $485 million tax free ETF tracks the high-yield municipal bond market while the tax-free 4.3 percent yield is equivalent to a 6.4 percent taxable return. And HYMB is considered one of the Street’s three best high-yield municipal bond funds even though the income has declined 10 percent since 2011. The expense ratio is 0.50 percent and HYMB’s one-year, three-year and five-year total returns of 6.7 percent, 12.84 percent and 8.48 percent are impressively superior to Goldman’s GSMIX. On many occasions, I’ve recommended municipals to readers as a substitute to long-term treasuries.

The yields are higher and they’re tax free. But taxes must rise in the coming years to pay for government-sponsored programs (Obamacare, college tuition, Medicaid, and myriad additional entitlement agendas) and an increased demand for municipals may push prices higher and yields lower.

Several of those same players also were able to pick up singles wins later in the afternoon.

Picking up their second win of the day in singles were Bank, Grimmer, Hetelle and Whybark for the alumni and Barbier, Frantz and McPherson for the current Saints. Also getting wins for the alumni in singles play were Matt Carter and Legan while Devyn Boswell also collected a singles victory for the current players.

Singles matches between Huston Gass and Hohenadel and alumni Kirk Blakney and current Saint Andy Nelson were halved due to the weather.

Eight of USF’s 12 current players who competed on Monday, including Joliet West graduate Trevor Brodeur and Minooka grads Jason Chobar, Jake Fleischauer, Kyle Sheppard and Sam Smolkovich, were also members of last year’s squad. Other returnees for the Saints are Barbier, Frantz and Gass.

With all of those players back for this season, Downey is upbeat about USF’s prospects.

“We’ve been to nationals in five of the last seven years and that’s one of the guys’ focuses,” Downey said. “They don’t just want to win a few tournaments but to prepare to go to nationals.

I really like that kind of attitude that our ultimate goal is to get to nationals.”

There are only a handful of seniors who competed for the Downey Cup and are looking forward finishing their Saints’ careers on a high note this season. They include Barbier, Fleischauer, Frantz and Gass.

“We look forward to this every year

“This should be a good year for us.

VOLLEYBALL: ROMEOVILLE

By KAITLYN JASNICA

ROMEOVILLE – Throughout recent years, the Southwest Prairie Conference has been known for having top-quality outside hitters in girls volleyball.

Romeoville’s two outsides have a good shot of adding their names to the list this year.

Senior Lyric Miles posted 211 kills last season, while Alayna Rooks added 125 in her freshman debut. Entering this season, both will assume a larger role.

“Lyric is a senior and is very seasoned. She has been on varsity all four years,” Spartans coach Sara Olszta said. “She’ll bring experience.

“Elena is following suit very well.

She’s a sophomore this year and started last year. She’ll bring another dynamic to the team as well. Both players are strong both offensively and defensively.”

The Spartans are focused right now on becoming a stronger, cohesive unit that has a better bond.

All players will need to be on the same page to tackle the tough conference schedule and create improvement from last year’s 9-26 record.

Romeoville will look toward the dynamic duo for leadership, and eyes first will go toward the senior.

Not only is Miles a strong pin hitter because she reads the game well, she holds high expectations for everyone.

She’s driven to help her team get better and be willing to put in the hard work.

Following right in her footsteps is a younger version of herself.

“Alayna is a little mini-me; she looks up to me and I look up to her,” Miles said. “We both are really strong hitters. We do have our flaws. We challenge each other because if one is up, the other has to be up. When one struggles, the other picks up their game.”

Rooks worked hard in the offseason to pick up her game.

In a freshman season, 125 kills is impressive. Most first-year varsity players have nerves every game because they don’t know what to expect.

“It was nerve-racking because I felt like I wasn’t as good as everyone else,” Rooks said. “It was really hard going into this big area with girls who were taller, swung harder and were faster. I just had to keep

With that hard-work attitude, Rooks will enter the season as arguably the top sophomore in the area.

Just from high school summer league, spectators could see a harder swinging player with more confidence and good technique.

She will continue to have that attitude because she’s not only competing with opposing outsides in the conference, she’s getting motivation from one on the floor with her.

“I had to work really hard to play next to Lyric because she’s hard competition,” Rooks said. “But I kept working hard throughout the offseason in club and in the summer. I did training and coach Olszta said that she saw that I was working hard.”

After putting in all of the hard

work, the two outsides are ready to see the results.

“I’ve been on varsity all four years, but now I am captain and in my last season,” Miles said. “It’s a lot to take on, but I’m ready. I’m hoping we get more wins than losses.”

2015 record: 9-26 Key returners: Sasha Aliaualla (Sr., MH, 5-8); Kristina Diaz (Sr., S/L, 5-2); Payton Koranda (Sr., RH, 5-6); Lyric Miles (Sr., OH, 5-8); Alayna Rooks (So., OH, 5-10).

Key graduation losses: Andrea Chaidez, Casey Sturmon.

Coach Sara Olszta: “This season we have a very large senior class. We hope to use their playing experience and leadership skills to our advantage. These seniors have worked hard over the summer and have really pushed themselves to raise their level of play to compete with some of the highly competitive teams we will face this year. In addition to these core returning seniors, we also have a few juniors and a returning sophomore that will fill key positions on the court and add additional depth to the team.”

Patriots offer important challenge to Bears in joint practices BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The Chicago Bears showed up at Gillette Stadium on Monday to meet the Patriots, determined to continue to evolve into the NFL’s 2016 version of the battling Bickersons.

In a Bears training camp season that has been long on family squabbles and short on development, Pro Bowlers Alshon Jeffery of the Bears and Malcolm Butler of the Patriots engaged in a facemask tugging stare-down until Bears receiver Josh Bellamy came flying over a pile of players and started swinging.

After Butler and Jeffery were banished from practice, the Bears’ Lamar Houston and New England’s Nate Solder locked up in more of an undercard-type tussle.

Bears head coach John Fox says don’t worry, though, everything is under control.

“I know Bill (Belichick) and I both made a big deal out of it,” Fox said.

“And the agreement was that if anything happened like that, they’re out.

And they were.”

Butler was immediately sent off the field while Jeffery returned to the huddle, but Bears coaches quickly realized what was going on and sent Jeffery to the sidelines where he watched the rest of practice. While the Bears’ ongoing propensity for these kinds of dust-ups is hard to ignore, it was not the story of Day 1 in New England.

Belichick talked before practice Monday about how pleased he is to have the Bears here.

“Coach Fox and I go back a long way.

We’ve always had a great relationship and with many of the assistants on his staff, of course (brothers) Josh McDaniels (Patriots coach), and Ben (McDaniels, Bears coach), obviously, but even beyond that.

“I think this will be a good, productive week for us. We’re looking forward to just trying to find ways to improve individually, improve collectively as a team.

“It’s good to have the Bears here and I look forward to working with them today.”

Fox’s Bears struggled badly in their exhibition opener, but he hailed the advantages of working against the best this preseason.

“It’s such a great opportunity to

Bears coach John Fox faces reporters Monday after a practice with the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass. come out here against the New England Patriots,” Fox said. “The people are great, the staff was all really great and then you get on the field and you can see why they have success year in and year out.

“They practice the right way, they finish, they’re physical, my gosh, they’ve got studs and they’ve got studs everywhere.”

Of particular concern after the preseason opener is the Bears’ offensive line, and quarterback Jay Cutler thought their first day with the Pats paid big dividends.

“We saw a lot of different fronts out there, a lot of situations where we had to make a lot of identifications, a lot of conversation, a lot of talk. We handled it

well,” Cutler said. “We’ll look at the film tonight. We’ll clean some stuff up. But I thought it was a big test for them and they did well.”

Cutler also was clear on what he sees as the advantages of working against the Patriots’ secondary and even Jeffery and Butler getting into it.

“They’re both competitive guys.

They play a lot of man. They are going to be up in your face. They’re very good at it,” Cutler said. “Just in the one-onones, I told the guys, ‘These guys are sticking to you. There are tight windows,’ and that is hard to do in man.

They get a lot of practice at it and so it will be a big challenge for us. It’s only going to make us better.”

No matter whom I talked to in navy and orange, the continuing theme of this week was obvious: The New England Patriots live where the Bears are trying to get. There will be other stories this week with the reunion with Martellus Bennett, the battling Long brothers – the Bears’ Kyle and New England’s Chris – and Akiem Hicks coming home.

But the Bears’ Day One message was simple: Boy, these Pats are good.

BEARS PRESEASON

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com The Bears have three players on defense who have been with the team in some capacity since at least 2013: Sherrick McManis, Cornelius Washington and Demontre Hurst, an undrafted player out of Oklahoma who in Year Four is still with the team, still fighting for a roster spot, as he has the last three summers.

“It’s a grind. It’s definitely a grind.

There’s a lot of competition here, and that’s the good thing about it,” Hurst said after Saturday’s practice. “That’s what I love. I love being in tough situations.

“Being here, I’m being more versatile playing safety, corner and nickel.

I’m all over the place. That versatility is helping me a lot. I love playing football and coming out here and competing against these guys every single day is my motivation. I love it here, I would love to stay here and will keep working to make them make the hard decision.”

Each day, Hurst has to prepare to play either nickel corner, outside corner or safety, a position that this coaching staff moved him to last summer. He appeared in seven games with one start in 2015 after spending much of 2014 as the slot corner. He bounced back and forth from practice squad to active roster in 2013 and last season.

“It’s definitely been a little roller coaster last year, up and down with practice squad and still on the team, but it’s still been a blessing just being here,” Hurst said. “Undrafted, three years later and I’m still here fighting.”

The 5-foot-10, 191-pounder said he is trying to “up my value in everything

I do,” and that comes with his versatility in the secondary, which is important in a defensive backfield that is extremely young. Hurst also appeared on the top kickoff coverage and punt return teams in the preseason opener.

Hurst is accustomed to getting a lot of action in preseason games. He played 28 snaps last Thursday night, and injuries at cornerback could increase his reps this week. Hurst understands the importance of preseason games, and what coaches are looking for.

“That’s where you can showcase just playing football. Not thinking as much as you would in practice,” he said. “You’re playing hard, having fun and just flying around, and that’s what they want to see. High-energy guys, guys that can do what they need to do under pressure.”

It’s one thing to have the mindset of a fringe roster player knowing every practice is important to making a case to get a spot on the final roster. It’s another to do that while playing multiple positions in a given session, like Hurst has done, but he knows the benefit it brings. He likes being around the ball as a nickel corner and being able to see the field and track the ball from safety.

Hurst is only 25, but he’s spent more time at Halas Hall than most of his defensive teammates, even though some of those days were as a practice squad member, or a player not knowing if he’ll make the team. He’s back in the same position, trying to stick once again.

“We kind of make jokes about it.

You look around, it’s definitely not the same team since 2013,” he said. “…

We’re the last of the ones here, hopefully we can still make the team and keep that going.”

24 WOMEN’S TRACK & FIELD

Felix edged by diving Miller Denied a record 5th gold medal

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – It took a headfirst dive by Shaunae Miller at the finish line to beat Allyson Felix, denying her a record fifth Olympic gold medal.

Miller, the 22-year-old from the Bahamas, stayed even with Felix for 398 meters, then sprawled, dove and crashed across the line to edge Felix by .07 seconds.

She’ll get the gold medal in the 400 meters. Maybe they should give her a cape, too.

This was supposed to be a stroll and something of a coronation for Felix, who was the defending world chamShaunae Miller pion and had the best career time of the eight women in Monday night’s final. She was trying to become the first woman to win five track golds at the Olympics.

Halfway through the Allyson Felix race, it was clear that was no sure thing.

Starting from Lane 7, Miller expanded the lag, instead of getting gobbled up. Felix slowly chipped away.

They came down the last 100 meters and Felix drew even, maybe even got a step ahead.

Stride for stride they ran, until the last few steps. Felix, classically trained

by Bobby Kersee, made a textbook lean into the finish line. Miller tried something else. The dive is something no coach ever would teach. Then again, amazing things happen with a gold medal on the line.

As Miller lay on her back, writhing in agony, Felix sat on the ground stonefaced. Ten seconds passed. Then 20.

The rules say the win is determined by which athlete has any part of her torso cross the line first. The photo finish showed the negative image of Miller’s sprawled out body, with her shoulder just barely over the line before Felix reached.

Finally, the result popped up. Miller won in 49.44 seconds.

What a finish. What a race.

The Bahamas’ Shaunae Miller dives across the finish line ahead of the United States’ Allyson Felix to win the gold medal in the 400-meter final Monday night during the Summer Olympics at the Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

And, yes, what a disappointment for Felix, whose year just didn’t turn out the way she planned it.

She was one of those rare athletes who had the cachet to get the Olympics to change the schedule. After winning the world championship at 400 meters last year, she put the 200-400 double in her sights for the Olympics. The schedule as it originally was written made it impossible – with the 200 heats scheduled for the same evening as the 400 final.

Felix asked, and she received: The 200 heats were moved to the morning to give America’s best female sprinter a chance for the two-fer.

But she never got to the starting line in the 200. She landed awkwardly on a medicine ball while doing core work in the gym during the spring.

“I’d never seen my ankle that big before, and it happened immediately,” she said.

Suddenly, the quest for two golds was simply a struggle to make the Olympics. She did in the 400. But the 200, which requires more “speed work” running hard around the curve, never got where it needed to go. Felix came in fourth at trials, one spot out of the mix, and had to swallow that disappointment and get ready to make the 400 hers.

Miller had a different plan.

The flagbearer for her country in the opening ceremonies, Miller came into the games 5 for 5 in her races this season, including Diamond League meets in Shanghai, Eugene and London.

Now, she’s 6 for 6.

Biles’ quest for 5 golds dashed U.S. star gets bronze on beam, teammate Hernandez silver

By LIZ CLARKE

The Washington Post

Downpours delayed the track and field program in the evening, where world champion Allyson Felix sought her fifth Olympic gold medal, in the women’s 400-meter final Monday.

In the morning, there was too little wind, then too much at the sailing regatta on Guanabara Bay, where men’s and women’s medal races were postponed until Tuesday. In the afternoon, smoke and ash from a wind-whipped wildfire billowed over the field hockey stadium in Deodoro.

Brazil is a step closer to gold, but Sweden comes first

The United States’ Simone Biles congratulates compatriot Lauren Hernandez on Monday for her balance beam performance during the artistic gymnastics women’s apparatus final at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“It’s something you guys shove into my head,” Biles said with a smile, “and at 19, I can’t put that much stress on myself because I am only 19. I think you guys want it more than I do, because I just want to perform the routines that I practice.”

Standing beside her was Hernandez, as sparkly as her red leotard, recalling with a laugh that she’d tweeted 12 months earlier that the Rio Olympics were “one year away!” and posted a video to illustrate her excitement.

No one, Hernandez included, imagined she’d be part of it – a member of the 2016 U.S. Olympic gymnastics team, leaving Rio with a team gold medal in one pocket and an individual silver medal on balance beam in the other. Hernandez was still competing in the junior ranks in summer 2015, although she was a shining light in her peer group, with potential that caught everyone’s eye.

Hernandez progressed apace once elevated to the senior ranks, wowing U.S. national team coordinator Martha Karolyi with a third-place finish at nationals this summer and claiming silver at U.S. Olympic trials in July.

In Monday’s beam final, Hernandez was the sixth of eight gymnasts to compete.

“You got this! Just stay calm,” Biles whispered in her ear.

And with a wide smile to the judges, Hernandez hopped on the beam.

“Nice! Nice!” Karolyi cawed from the stands.

Shouts of “Yeah!” “You got it!” rained down from her family and friends on the U.S. men’s and women’s gymnastics teams.

“I think this is one of the best routines that I’ve showed in Rio,” Hernandez said afterward. “I’m just happy I could perform the way I do in practice and stay calm through the whole thing.”

Biles had an off-day, at least by her elevated standards.

“She is human,” said Aimee Boorman, Biles’s coach since she was 7. To Boorman’s eyes, Biles’s “save” on the somersault was a heroic feat and her performance, a triumph.

“She won a bronze medal on beam at the Olympics,” Boorman said.

“That’s huge, and she should be proud of that.”

The Brazilians are a step away from a shot at Olympic gold, and nothing could make the host nation’s fans happier.

Women’s soccer has not traditionally been popular in Brazil, but Marta and her teammates have been capturing hearts as they’ve traveled across the country en route to a semifinal match against Sweden at the Maracana Stadium on Tuesday.

But while Brazil is a win away from the gold-medal match, the team will first have to overcome a pumped-up Sweden team that knocked off the three-time defending champion United States in the quarterfinals.

The loss sent the top-ranked Americans home without a medal for the first time at the Olympics. The World Cup champions were vying for their third straight gold.

U.S. men’s volleyball beats Mexico to reach quarterfinals

At last, the U.S. men’s volleyball team is playing the very brand of volleyball the Americans knew they had in them to make a special run at the Olympics.

It just took a few days longer than expected to get going and find a winning groove.

They reached the quarterfinals Monday after that slow start, victors in their third straight match to conclude pool play by dominating Mexico, 25-23, 25-11, 25-19. Taylor Sander’s kill from the left side on match point sealed it.

He is one of several among the team’s eight first-time Olympians to make vast improvements the past three matches.

What a dramatic turnaround in a week’s time for Sander and the young Americans, greeted by chants of “U-S-A!”

• Tuesday, August 16, 2016

RIO DE JANEIRO – From the moment Simone Biles first stepped onto the floor 10 days ago at Rio Olympic Arena, she has been competing against herself. Such was the gulf between Biles’s skills and the rest of the gymnastics world that she graded herself in relation to her potential, happily leaving scoring to the judges.

Monday, after a strong, stylish start to her balance-beam routine, Biles, a two-time world medalist on the apparatus, didn’t get quite enough height on a front somersault. She under-rotated, as a result, hit one foot on the 4-inch-wide plank, wobbled precariously and managed to stay on by grabbing the beam with both hands to steady herself.

“Wow, Simone!” She thought to herself. “That was five-10ths” of a point-deduction. She quickly settled herself and completed the routine, earning a score (14.733) almost a full point lower than her qualifying mark (15.633).

No tearful outburst followed. She hugged her coach, took a seat and proceeded to cheer on her U.S. teammate and Rio roommate, 16-year-old Laurie Hernandez, the sixth beam competitor in the field of eight.

Only one year removed from gymnastics’ junior ranks, Hernandez sped through her difficult tumbling moves and connecting leaps and spins with a veteran’s poise. She was more solid than Biles – and better than all but Sanne Wevers of the Netherlands, who won gold (15.466). Hernandez (15.333) claimed silver. And Biles, who hadn’t even bothered to change into the long pants gymnasts wear to ascend the medal podium, so sure her marks didn’t deserve a medal, took bronze.

With it, Biles kept her Olympic medal-streak intact: four events, four medals. But it spoiled gymnastics’ most publicized pre-Olympic storyline: that the 19-year-old phenom from Spring, Texas, would leave Rio with five golds.

Asked whether she were disappointed that the much ballyhooed “Drive for Five” had fallen short, Biles said, “Not necessarily.” Then she put the horde of journalists who crowded around her, tape recorders and microphones outstretched, in its place.

26 ILLINOIS FOOTBALL PREVIEW

After turmoil, Smith brings excitement, calm

By DAVID MERCER

end gives Illinois a strong pass rusher. He led the team with eight sacks and 15 tackles for losses in 2015. Transfer Hardy Nickerson’s arrival from Cal – his father, also Hardy Nickerson, is the defensive coordinator – should strengthen a thin group of linebackers.

The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – When Illinois players talk about the differences between this summer and last, they talk about excitement and calm.

They use both words to describe changes that have begun under their first-year leader, longtime NFL coach Lovie Smith. And both words illustrate the sharp contrast between this summer and last, when their coach was fired just a week before the opening game.

“I think that’s a great feeling.

It’s a feeling we haven’t felt in a while, just as players,” senior quarterback Wes Lunt said.

Part of Smith’s job has been trying to repair both the reputation of Illini football and the team’s morale, both damaged when Tim Beckman was fired last summer amid allegations that he mistreated players and interfered in medical decisions.

Of course, Smith is at Illinois to do more than polish a tarnished brand. Under Beckman and replacement Bill Cubit, wins were scarce. Cubit was thrust into the interim role when Beckman was fired and the team finished 5-7 (2-6 Big Ten). Illinois never won more than six games in Beckman’s three seasons.

“We were a five-win team last year; I understand that,” Smith said. “I know we’re going to be a better team.”

A few things to keep an eye out for as Illinois prepares to open the season:

Illinois head coach Lovie Smith speaks to the media on July 26 at the Big Ten NCAA college football media days in Chicago. and a lack of proven pass-catchers – another anterior cruciate ligament tear is expected to sideline Mike Dudek for a second-straight season – mean Illinois will need to be able to run the ball. That means sophomore Ke’Shawn Vaughn, the only experienced back on the roster, will see a lot of carries.

“In order for us to have success at the running game, Keshawn Vaughn has to have a good year. He realizes it,” Smith said.

Vaughn carried the ball 157 times for 723 yards and six touchdowns as a freshman.

DEFENSE FIRST

Smith pointed out before preseason workouts that defense should be Illinois’ strength.

But the Illini lost a half-dozen starters from a defense that was ranked eighth in the Big Ten in points given up at 23.3 per game and ninth in yards allowed at 350.8. The emergence of Dawuane Smoot at defensive

If the Illini can finish the nonconference schedule 2-1 with wins over Murray State and Western Michigan, the Big Ten schedule offers four games that would not require dramatic upsets to win. Illinois hosts Purdue and faces Rutgers on the road. If the Illini win those, the Oct. 29 home game against Minnesota and the Nov. 26 game at Northwestern could be make-or-break games for a bowl berth.

PREDICTION

The Illini are energized by their new coach and his NFL pedigree, but this is essentially the same team that was 5-7 last season, minus a number of key starters. Lunt’s ability to stay healthy will be a major factor.

The home-heavy schedule and a handful of winnable Big Ten games give Illinois a path to a bowl game. But given the likelihood of injuries and first-season hiccups for a brand-new coaching staff, 5-7 and sixth in the Big Ten West seems about right.

SEASON OPENER

The Lovie Smith era begins at home Sept. 3 against Murray State. The Illini and Racers have never played. The Racers, a Football Championship Subdivision school, were 3-8 last season.

ERASING THE STIGMA

Midwest Compassion educates the public on facts about medical marijuana

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

ROMEOVILLE – What if I don’t want to smoke? How do I talk to my doctor?

These are just some of the questions that Nicole A. van Rensburg and her brother William Hollander, who as partners operate Midwest Compassion in Romeoville, hear at their informational events, such as the upcoming one scheduled for Saturday.

Hollander and van Rensburg feel it’s their social responsibility to educate the community about treatment options for medical marijuana’s 40 qualifying conditions. These include post-traumatic stress disorder, cancer, AIDS, glaucoma, lupus, multiple sclerosis, residual limb pain and fibromyalgia, the most common condition, van Rensburg said.

So far, chronic pain and/or severe pain do not qualify.

“We’re hopeful they’ll get added at some point,” van Rensburg said.

Why? Because many people with that level of pain are using opioids or self-medication with cannabis illegally acquired, Hollander said.

“They’re finding that medical cannabis is far less addictive [than opioids] and far less dangerous,” Hollander said.

Here are some of the topics Midwest Compassion addresses at its informational events.

You mean, I really don’t have to smoke it?

Many people are surprised to learn that medical marijuana is available in products that don’t require smoking and don’t sedate the user, which is important for active patients and those caring for children, van Rensburg said.

“We have edibles to topicals to suppositories,” van Rensburg said. “We have capsules; we have concentrates.

Some of the more innovative products on the market are edible, like a tea or a coffee. Suppositories are especially popular for people who don’t want to smoke because it’s fast-acting and able to bypass the liver. There are products that can be applied as a lotion.”

How do I get it?

Although people understand medical marijuana is legal, Hollander said, they are unaware of the application process. The best way is to approach their doctors, who play a crucial role in that process, Van Rensburg said.

Applicants must show proof of residence in Illinois along with a photo ID and being fingerprinted. Completing the necessary forms can be done online

Midwest Compassion will “hold the patient’s hand through the process,” she added.

The hardest part for many patients is discussing medical marijuana as a treatment option with their doctors. But that is necessary.

“They need to get their physician to certify they have a qualifying condition,” van Rensburg said. Certifying, she added, is not the same as recommending the patient take medical cannabis. “The physician sends his documents separately.”

Some doctors are reluctant to certify their patients since cannabis is not approved as a medicine by the federal Food and Drug Administration, Hollander said. Also, it’s difficult to overturn the stigma for a drug that’s been viewed as “the worst substance in the world” for the past 50 years, he added.

But breaking down barriers will ensure patients feel comfortable introducing the subject with their doctors, Hollander said. The goal is for the public to view marijuana as simply another treatment option for certain health conditions.

“Everyone isn’t supposed to be using

According to news releases, Midwest Compassion, a state-licensed medical marijuana dispensary in Romeoville, has an outreach team that attends local 5Ks, fairs, support groups and festivals.

So far, the team, which averages three educational events per month, has participated in events with the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, The Illinois Veterans Motorcycle Freedom Run and Delnor Hospital’s Fibromyalgia Support Group.

A recent event was held at the Plainfield Community Center in cooperation with the Greater Chicago Epilepsy Association.

Midwest Compassion is planning to host a patient networking event at its dispensary within the next few months.

Midwest Compassion was selected by the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) as the sole dispensary to serve on a recent panel at the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Recently, Midwest Compassion participated in a research study with the Hawaii Dispensary Alliance regarding community education and outreach.

it,” Hollander said. “There are times it’s going to be very valuable and, just like any other drug, there are times it’s going to be abused or used improperly.”

Cannabis, again like other medications, might interact negatively with current medications one might need for other conditions. Hollander and van Rensburg suggest starting slowly with medical marijuana and watching for side effects.

“We work very closely with medical professionals and monitor closely for interactions,’ Hollander said.

Will my insurance pay for it?

No, Hollander said, because marijuana is federally illegal.

Who can pick up my cannabis for me?

Only you – and one person designated as your caregiver, Hollander said.

The HERALD-NEWS MORRIS – Cassandra Worley, of Romeoville, was honored as Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers’ Fire Starter of the Month for June.

Worley, supervisor of the Radiation Therapy Center at Morris Hospital, decided to pursue a degree as a radiation therapist after the untimely death of her 21-year-old cousin to melanoma.

Not long after graduating from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in radiologic technology and an emphasis in radiation therapy, Worley moved back to the southwest suburbs.

She was working at a cancer center in Joliet when she decided to check out Morris Hospital’s new Radiation Therapy Center when it was under construction in 2004. She has remained part of the core team at the Radiation Therapy Center of Morris Hospital ever since.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You have more going for you than you realize. Before you give in to pressure or let someone else take charge, you should consider all the angles. A positive attitude will help you convince others to see things your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Network with peers and share your experience. Don’t let the actions of others upset you or cause you to leave your plans incomplete. Believe in yourself and what you have to offer. Prepare and present.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Participate in events that involve colleagues or deal with changes going on in your industry. The people you

meet will expand your knowledge and give you insight into future changes and obligations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If you listen to what your emotions are trying to tell you, you will know exactly what you have to do. A positive personal change will occur through communication with an expert.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Expressing your feelings will give others the opportunity to share theirs as well. Together, you can find solutions that will help you move forward without fear, uncertainty or regret.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Consider your income options and look for alternatives that will help you make more doing something you enjoy or are good at. A change of location or of colleagues is favored.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You can offer someone help, but not at the expense of forgoing a chance to make personal gains. Make suggestions, but don’t take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Put energy and enthusiasm behind your plans in order to improve your current work situation. Taking on additional responsibility will impress someone influential.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A situation you face will require patience, understanding and the time and space to unfold naturally in order to turn out favorably. Good things will develop if they are given the chance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – An enthusiasm for experimentation accompanied by hard work

and discipline will pay off. Giving back to your community by volunteering your time also will lead to interesting new friendships.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t give in to emotional manipulation or be made to feel guilty. Surround yourself with people who think the same way you do. Listen to an expert and apply what you learn.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You won’t see eyeto-eye with the people you interact with. Listen carefully and go about your business. You’ll gain the most by working alone. Avoid temptation and indulgence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Go with the flow and see what happens. Your ability to adapt to the changes going on around you will be to your benefit. A romantic gesture is encouraged.

And go to bed and get up at the same time every day, including weekends.

To get better sleep, avoid coffee or other caffeinated beverages or foods after noon; their effects in disrupting sleep can last for 12 to 16 hours. Also avoid more than one alcoholic drink after dinner. While alcohol can be an effective “nightcap,” helping you nod off more easily, later in the evening it acts as a stimulant, keeping you from getting enough deep sleep.

Finally, if you know or think you might suffer from sleep apnea or another sleep disorder, a doctor who specializes in sleep can improve your own – and with it, your energy.

• Control stress. The most common cause of persistent fatigue is stress and the emotional response to it. You can’t eliminate stress from your life, but you can learn relaxation techniques that work as an antidote to it. Deep breathing, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation and visualization can evoke a state of rest and release. These relaxation exercises lower blood pressure and slow heartbeat and respiration.

Paying attention to these lifestyle changes can do a lot more for your energy than drinking “energy drinks,” which are artificial and temporary. You want the real thing.

Dear Dr. K: I often feel quite tired. My doctor says this fatigue might be caused by my low-normal testosterone level. I’d rather not go on testosterone therapy. What are some other ways to enhance my energy?

Dear Reader: Research studies have not demonstrated a clear value in giving testosterone therapy to men who might be experiencing symptoms of low-normal or slightly low blood levels of testosterone.

In fact, some studies even have indicated such treatments may raise the risk of heart trouble. So I certainly can understand if you’d rather avoid testosterone therapy to relieve your fatigue.

The good news is lifestyle changes can go a long way toward improving your energy and overall health. I’ll describe some of them here.

• Eat for energy. Caffeine and sugar can give you a temporary lift. But when you eat a diet packed with vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, healthy fats and lean protein, you not only consume the finest energy-boosting foods, but you also promote good health. That’s an energy booster in itself. And don’t forget water. If your body is short on fluids, one of the first signs is a feeling of fatigue.

• Exercise regularly. Exercise is a proven way to increase your vim and vigor. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, or a mix of the two. You’ll also want to engage in two to three strength-training sessions a week. Allow at least 48 hours between these muscle-building workouts to give your body time to recover.

• Get a better night’s sleep. Nothing saps your energy faster than a poor night’s rest.

Most ordinary sleep difficulties can be solved with simple behavioral changes. For example, use your bed only for sleeping or

If sitting in the middle seat in close proximity to a man you don’t know would bother you, mention it to one of the cabin crew and request a change, or just switch seats with your travel companion.

Dear Abby: I’m a retired man who took a community college class. My lab partner was a young woman who was having difficulties attending the class. She wasn’t there for the final exam, and I wondered if she had dropped the course. I did not have her phone number or her email address, but she had mentioned she worked at a nearby bank, so I went to visit her there. We talked for a few minutes and she told me she actually had done quite well in the class.

When I told my wife and daughter about it, they were shocked. They said what I did was inappropriate because of the age difference and she could have gotten into trouble at her job.

Abby, they almost accused me of stalking her.

Is there a social rule that makes my behavior incorrect? I find it hard to believe someone would get into trouble for talking to a person in the bank at any age. – Am I Missing Something?

Neither one can have children. I have three.

Recently, one of my sisters turned my sweetest daughter against me by telling her I had “abandoned her” when I moved to Ohio with my oldest son and divorced their father. Not true. I left my daughter with my sister so she could experience raising a teenager since she couldn’t have a child of her own.

After telling my daughter I had abandoned her, my sister advised her to tell me she never wanted to talk to me again. My daughter is very sweet and gullible. She has taken her aunt’s side and says she wants nothing to do with me.

This is driving me crazy. Please tell me what to do. – Heartbroken In The Midwest Dear Heartbroken: If your daughter is a minor, demand she return to you immediately. Do it through a lawyer, if necessary, because what your sister is doing is a form of parental alienation. If your daughter is an adult, then ask your other two children to talk to their sister and set her straight.

A PRAYER St. Jude's Novena May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us.

St. Jude, helper of the helpless, pray for us.

John Steinbeck said, “The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business.”

I assume that he intentionally employed the double entendre of “stable.” Today’s deal features a solid suit. Look only at the South hand.

South opens one heart, and North responds three diamonds, which is game-invitational, showing a sixor seven-card suit and around 10 high-card points. What should South rebid?

North’s choice of sequence is governed by system. In Standard American, North would respond two diamonds, planning to rebid three diamonds. But if you and your partner use two-over-one game-force, you need to discuss the difference between responding one forcing no-trump and rebidding three diamonds, and jumping straight to three diamonds. I think the first sequence should show a weak hand with a long suit, and the second should be game-invitational. (To respond two diamonds and rebid three diamonds is game-forcing.)

Over the game-invitational three diamonds, South should plunge into four hearts. Why try for 11 tricks to make game when 10 will do?

Four hearts makes with at least one overtrick. East can win the first trick with his club jack and shift to a diamond (or play two rounds of spades), to try to cut off declarer from the dummy. However, South can handle either defense, getting to his hand with the diamond queen (or a club ruff) to draw trumps and run the diamonds for an overtrick.

Note that five diamonds can be defeated. East leads a low spade.

West takes that trick and shifts to a heart to disconnect the North-South hands.
