MINOOKA – Thursday’s Minooka High School District 111 board meeting included striking bus drivers and aides who attended with signs and placards.

The drivers of District 111 and neighboring District 201 joined Teamsters Local 179 in November and went on strike Thursday morning, picketing at the Minooka Transportation Center. The union and districts have been in dispute over fair share – when nonunion members pay dues – as well as safety issues and maintenance of standard policies.

Those who spoke at the meeting said their reasons for striking go far beyond rates of pay.

District 111 driver Cindy Krause said that for the past year she drove a new propane bus, but said her radio hasn’t worked since March 2015.

She also said her bus recently broke down while in LaGrange on a field trip with a group of parents and students. She said she was lucky there was another school bus right behind her and that she had her personal phone with her.

“We’ve got issues here. Wake up,” she

said. “We’ve got maintenance issues, we’ve got safety concerns, it’s not about the pay.”

Parent Tom Coffey had another concern about the strike.

“You guys left my kid standing out at a bus stop for 30 minutes this morning,” he said. “These people don’t need to have to beg you to negotiate. It’s the law to negotiate. ... Your problem is to negotiate to get my kids to school.”

The school board did not respond to questions of the speakers, but issued a statement at the beginning of the meeting.

“The Minooka Community High School District 111 board of education is interested in resolving this current transportation negotiation with the bus drivers ... and reaching a collective bargaining agreement with them as soon as possible,” board Vice President Patti Ruettiger read. Board President Mike Brozovich was absent from the meeting.

After the meeting, District 111 Superintendent Kenneth Lee said the district has given the federal negotiator three dates from which the union can choose for the next negotiating meeting, and he hasn’t heard back from them.

Lee said he hopes to get the issues resolved soon. The district let classes out 10

minutes early Thursday and will again Friday, he said, to facilitate the transportation schedule.

The two Minooka districts are working together using bus drivers who are not striking and other employees to transport students at both districts, staggering school start times to get the job done. An email sent Thursday night by District 111 noted that the fleet is safe and buses have passed all mandated inspections; drivers are trained to perform pre-trip inspections; and mechanics are on staff to respond to bus repair needs.

Many District 111 bus drivers said at a July meeting they do not want to be members of the union and that they didn’t believe they signed up for it. According to District 111 Assistant Superintendent of Business John Troy, a petition was submitted by some drivers to invalidate membership after it was certified, but was sent too late and denied. Drivers who want to rescind union membership will have another chance in November, Troy said.

After the meeting, board member Lawrence Troutman said he understood the maintenance concerns the drivers have.

He formerly drove for the district and said he also had problems.

D-210 board OKs Aunt Nancy’s agreement

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way School District 210 board’s approval of a new contract with Aunt Nancy’s Child Care was met with furious objection by residents.

At Thursday’s board meeting, Superintendent Scott Tingley read what Aunt Nancy’s would be willing to annually pay to the district: $60,000, as opposed to the $90,000 the board previously requested.

Some residents shouted “No!” in response.

Aunt Nancy’s has been in the spotlight this year among residents, who have criticized it for operating rent-free at the financially struggling school district. The business has done so for more than 20 years, district spokeswoman Taryn Atwell said.

In recent weeks, some of the district’s finance and building committee members and the Lincoln-Way Education Association president have raised concerns about Aunt Nancy’s increasing rates of their services in light of potentially paying rent.

Tingley said Thursday that the contract for Aunt Nancy’s would have an annual remittance of $60,000 – $20,000 for the district’s three high school sites – and removal from the contract of the reduction of remittance if enrollment fell below the threshold of 80 or 85 percent.

After the meeting, Tingley said Aunt Nancy’s wasn’t willing to remit $90,000.

“They just weren’t willing to do it,” he said.

The board approved the agreement, 6-1, with board member Christopher Lucchetti as the

lone vote against it.

“It just doesn’t seem right,” Lucchetti said.

At the July 21 meeting, Lucchetti opposed the $60,000 remittance in the draft agreement, saying he expected a higher amount considering what Aunt Nancy’s was making in revenue.

Board member Christopher Kosel said at Thursday’s meeting he didn’t disagree with Lucchetti.

“My comments have been very vocal in the press, but I can tell you – it’s this or nothing,” Kosel said.

Several residents in attendance then screamed, “Nothing!”

For board member Joseph Kosteck, $60,000 was better than nothing.

He began expressing his support for the agreement by talking about how, 30 years ago, he was a student at Lincoln-Way who succeeded because the teachers had everything they needed.

“They need this support,” he said. He later added, “This issue needs to be put to bed.”

He said that although he didn’t like it, the contract was for one year and the district will do better next year.

Board Vice President Christine Glatz recommended the board go for a request for proposal for day care services after this year.

“You need to do it better now,” a resident yelled.

Another yelled, “You are doing an injustice to the taxpayers and to the children.”

After the board voted to approve the agreement, a resident shouted, “You’re a disgrace, absolutely disgusting.”

District officials offered dates to continue negotiations

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com

and FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – The first contract negotiations between Minooka union bus drivers and aides and district officials resulted in a long-anticipated strike Thursday.

Bus drivers and aides for Minooka Districts 201 and 111 picketed early Thursday morning at the transportation center. Brief pickets were held at a few District 201 schools, according to district officials, but they were peaceful and did not last long.

It’s unclear how long the strike will last. The bus workers are part of Teamsters Local 179.

The union and districts have been in dispute over “fair share” – when nonunion members pay dues – as well as safety issues and maintenance of standard policies being part of the first contract.

“If I were them, I’d be calling me already,” said Tom Flynn, Teamsters Local 179 president.

Representatives from both districts – 201 for elementary students and 111 for high school – said all routes were covered Thursday and students made it to school.

District 111 Superintendent Kenneth Lee said he was pleased that the students were able to get to class Thursday, but also would like to see a resolution as quickly as possible.

“It’s definitely not the perfect situation, especially on the fourth day of school,” he said. “Anywhere that I have been, transportation has its issues. We were certainly not 100 percent on time, but we got the kids here.”

Lee stated in an email the district’s legal counsel approached a federal mediator and offered dates to go back to the table; District 201 Superintendent Kris Monn stated in an email the district agreed to three mediation session dates proposed by a federal mediator.

Both stated the Teamsters haven’t responded yet. Flynn said there will be a date for the union to come back to the table as soon as the districts agree to fair share, maintenance of standards and address safety issues.

“The ball is in the districts’ court right now,” he said.

Monn said in a statement that Thursday’s afternoon routes were covered but

families should expect delays as District 201 again uses drivers from District 111 to fill routes. He also said all the drivers doing the routes while the strike occurs are employees of the districts and have gone through background checks.

“We are proud of and grateful for the drivers who came to work and sincerely appreciate their commitment to our students and families, and we look forward to their critical and continued support in helping us manage this disruption,” Monn said.

Lee said that school at Central and South campuses would be dismissed 10 minutes early Thursday and Friday to accommodate afternoon transportation routes for districts 111 and 201.

Both districts will continue to update families through their websites and emails about transportation issues.

The union and districts have been in contract negotiations since February, but union members voted to approve strike authorization May 11.

On Aug. 2, Flynn stated on the union’s website that negotiations “officially broke down.” Notices of intent to strike were sent to both districts. No date was given. Under the state law, the unions

cannot strike unless 10 days elapse after notices are sent, but officials from both districts expected the strikes to occur on the first day of school, which did not

happen. District 111 started Monday, and 201 on Wednesday.

MOTHER NATURE FINDS A WAY

Midewin archaeologist Joe Wheeler talks about some of the artifacts and history of the land during the media tour Thursday at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington.

Continued restoration planned for future of Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent WILMINGTON – Seventeen miles southwest of Joliet lies 20,000 acres of the first tallgrass prairie established in the United States, filled with streams and bird, insect, fish, mammal and reptile species and – as of fall 2015 – a herd of 39 bison.

“This area is globally rare; it’s much rarer than the rainforest and every bit as diverse. It’s remarkable to have this so close to so many people,” said Paul Botts, executive director of The Wetlands Initiative. “Some times of the year, it’s a sea of flowers; certain times, it’s noisy during bird migration. It’s clear and obvious that once people experience this, they will know it’s not like their local parks.”

During the next seven years, 1,800 acres of Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie’s west side will be restored to link a larger piece of the park, which already is restored, in order to offer the wildlife the important connectivity needed to thrive, officials said Thursday. During a Thursday tour of the grounds, officials explained what has been done and what’s next for the prairie located on the land the former Joliet Army Ammunition Plant once occupied.

The National Forest Foundation and The Wetlands Initiative teamed with the U.S. Forest Service at Midewin on the actual restoration of the land.

Mary Mitsos, executive vice president of the Forest Foundation, said the organization has received $2 million in challenge grants from Chicago-area foundations Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation and the Grand Victoria Foundation. They will use the next five years to raise the other $2 million to match.

The remaining $2.7 million needed to complete the project came from two sources: $700,000 from Midewin, and $2 million from the U.S. Forest Service Regional Office 9 in Milwaukee, according to Mitsos.

An old bunker being torn down is seen during the media tour Thursday at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington.

The Wetlands Initiative senior ecologist Gary Sullivan said this project will be a process that, when finished, will expand the property’s range from Interstate 55 to Route 53, and offer a horizon-to-horizon view for spectators.

“This does not exist anywhere else.

The extensive native plants in all areas create a mosaic. It will take a while to get it where we want it, but we will restore about 600 species when finished to bring conditions back to support wildlife,” Sullivan said.

Midewin Prairie ecologist Bill Glass said some threatened species already are in the park, but once it is restored, he hopes to promote and encourage more species to grow within.

Some birds that call Midewin home are bald eagles, Henslow sparrows and sandhill cranes, to name a few. Examples of threatened plants are the royal catchfly and Hill’s thistle.

“This area is globally rare; it’s much rarer than the rainforest and every bit as diverse.

It’s remarkable to have this so close to so many people.”

Paul Botts

executive director of The Wetlands Initiative

The process can begin with the demolition of 18 World War II ammunition bunkers that no longer are needed on the property. A handful of bunkers have been designated to remain intact for historical reference.

After that, the 1,800 acres will need to be treated to remove invasive weeds. That way, native grasses and forbs can grow in their place. Botts

said that invasive vegetation was planted by the Army when it used the property, brought into North America by settlers, Great Lakes transfer or remained because of the absence of natural fire control, which native species can tolerate.

Midewin Prairie Supervisor Wade Spang said volunteers and staff have begun to plant native plants on the property. Seeds come from the natural seed beds, commercial purchased seeds, wild seeds as well as some collected from already restored areas.

“This time of year, we drill plant plugs and seed rows. In February, we drop seed in the snow; and when the sun hits and snow melts, the seed burrows into the ground with the water,” Spang said.

Spang said the tallest plants on the prairie are the Compass Plant and the Prairie Dock, which can grow 7 to 8 feet, depending on the weather.

Walsh delivers State of the County address

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. presented Thursday, for the 11th straight year, the State of the County address in a packed Will County board room.

The speech largely was positive and touched on the county’s achievements in the past year, as well as on projects still in the works – projects that might be part of addresses for years to come. He said that Will County is a good model for legislators in Springfield and Washington.

“We are not perfect, but I think we have plenty of successful efforts made possible because we worked together and cooperated to get things done,” Walsh said.

He started by highlighting capital projects, noting that many county buildings have shown their age and lost usefulness.

At the top of that list is the Will County Sheriff’s Office. Pictures of the small, outdated and inefficient facility were on the board room’s projection screen as Walsh said that the county is making progress on the new Will County Public Safety Complex, scheduled to break ground in mid-September at a cost of about $30 million.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. delivered Thursday the State of the County address to a packed crowd at the Will County board room.

The new Will County Judicial Complex, which is nearing completion of its design phase, will be an asset to Will County and downtown Joliet – the county seat – for many more years, he said.

Walsh went into detail on the $30 million spent on road projects that helped maintain what he called an economic engine. He said the proposed Houbolt Road Bridge project, with private investment

from CenterPoint, will enhance safety and remove some of the roadway congestion from being the largest inland port in the nation.

He detailed technology infrastructure improvements and workforce services that help people, particularly military veterans, get jobs. He said the county’s unemployment rate has gone down from 11 percent in 2010 to 6 percent in 2015.

Not all his topics were on a positive note, however. Walsh said that 42 heroin overdose deaths have occurred so far this year in the county. He said he is proud of efforts made by the county to stop the issue, but also said that there is much more work to do. The record for yearly heroin deaths is 53, a number suffered both in 2012 and 2015.

Board members Ragan Freitag, R-Wilmington, and Ray Tuminello, R-New Lenox, read proclamations at the meeting to honor championship high school baseball teams from their respective districts. Coaches from Class 2A champions Reed-Custer and Class 4A champions Providence Catholic thanked the board. Three Eagle Scouts also were honored.

County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, commended them, but added that with 42 heroin overdose deaths this year, he would venture that most are younger than age 25. He asked fellow leaders to not forget about the young people who do need some encouragement at times and to lend them a helping hand when they face a fork in the road.

Moustis credited the County Board for another year of working together – despite party ties – to reach agreement on most issues and move matters forward for the betterment of the county.

Lockport hopes new Haunted House will offer prospects for local businesses

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – With the HellsGate Haunted House finally ready to open this Halloween season, Lockport is hoping to capitalize on its expected success with more opportunities for its downtown businesses.

The City Council is considering a license agreement that will allow the spooky attraction’s customers to park for free at the Metra station for the four extended weekends it is open in October.

The city hopes that this will allow for more patronage of its downtown businesses and restaurants, City Administrator Ben Benson said.

The city approved the plans for the haunted house last spring. Legacy Events LLC partnered with Zombie Army Productions – a company who brought the Fear Haunted House to Navy Pier – to build the 20,000-squarefoot building on about 20 acres of park district land at Dellwood Park West with an investment of about $2 million.

through Sundays in October, as well as on Halloween night, a Monday.

An average of 1,200 customers a night are expected to visit HellsGate and will be shuttled to the site from the train station on buses, LaFlamboy said. Buses will run constantly, so there should be no customers waiting at the train station at any time, he said.

The timings of the attraction indicate that it will not interfere with commuter traffic, Benson said.

LaFlamboy also is working with the Lockport Police Department and park district to come up with a security and traffic control plan and will cover all costs, including overtime for police officers, he said. HellsGate also will be responsible for all cleanup required at the station.

After some committee members indicated concerns that backed up traffic may inconvenience local residents, Benson assured the committee that staff will make sure a contingency traffic control plan is also in place before the license agreement comes to the City Council for approval at the Aug. 31 meeting.

entertainment tax, it will not receive any sales tax from the attraction, aside from what is sold in the gift shop. However, last year the city signed an agreement with owners to pay for necessary improvements on Canal Street in return for a per-head fee to cover those costs.

HellsGate, which was not completed in time for 2015’s Halloween, has scheduled its grand opening for Oct. 6 and will stay open until Halloween, owner John LaFlamboy told the council’s Committee of the Whole on Wednesday night. A sneak peek for Halloween attraction trade show TransWorld was held last weekend and received a big reception from people who came from all over the globe, LaFlamboy said.

He said that he was gratified that the attendees told him that “there is nothing like this in the entire country,” because “we are trying to create not only the best haunted house in the country, but something so unique that you can’t find it anywhere else.”

The attraction, which is adjacent to Legacy Paintball and Airsoft Park, will be open from 7 to 10 p.m. Thursdays

JOLIET – Two people pleaded guilty Thursday to criminal charges in unrelated traffic crashes that left people injured.

Rose E. Marta, 31, of Romeoville pleaded guilty to aggravated driving under the influence and was sentenced to two years of probation after serving nearly two months in the Will County Jail. If convicted on all counts, Marta could have faced up to 12 years in prison.

On Nov. 3, 2015, Marta was leaving a party in the 1700 block of Mayfield Avenue in Joliet when she backed into a parked Buick, then ran over Stephanie Kayser. While pinned under Marta’s Mercury, Kayser suffered broken ribs and a cracked pelvis, Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Deborah Mills told Judge Dave Carlson.

“The defendant said she was attempting to leave the driveway after being chased [from the party] by individuals with guns,” Mills said.

Marta, who had been off probation for nine days at the time of the incident, admitted smoking marijuana and drinking beer, but Mills acknowledged an inves-

tigation “somewhat corroborated” her reasons for leaving the party.

Carlson also accepted a guilty plea from Edward B. Williams, 35, of Chicago on charges of leaving the scene of an accident and aggravated fleeing from police.

On Feb. 1, police were called to Speedway on Wolf Road in Mokena after an employee was concerned about an attempt at credit card fraud, prosecutor Elizabeth Domagalla said. Will County Sheriff’s deputies were given a description and stopped a gray Dodge Charger with New York plates.

When Williams was asked to step out of the car, he drove off and was pursued on Francis Road to Marley Road in New Lenox Township, Domagalla said. Williams crashed into another vehicle and fled on foot. The driver of the other vehicle – a Mokena woman – was hospitalized, but her medical condition was not made part of the court record.

The next month, Williams was arrested in Ohio. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison but could have that sentence cut in half with good behavior and will receive credit for the five months he’s been in jail.

Continued from page 3 Officials with Districts 111 and 201 have opposed fair share, saying they cannot “philosophically agree” to an initial contract that forces drivers who do not wish to join the union to pay dues annually. There have been drivers at both districts who’ve publicly opposed the union.

Flynn has said fair share is needed to support the union’s expenses for legal representation and contract negotiations. He said safety is one of the sticking points as well.

“Safety is our biggest concern,” Flynn said. “We have talked about economics for about 15 minutes since February. This isn’t about money. It’s about safety, seniority, respect in the workplace.”

The union represents about 1,000 school bus drivers in and around Will County, Flynn said, including in Joliet, Plainfield, Naperville, Oswego, Wilmington and Coal City. Those contracts have language that says if a bus driver “pre-trips” a bus and something is wrong with that bus, they can “down” the bus, Flynn said.

“These people say, ‘No. If we say to get on that bus and go, you go,’ ” he said.

“That makes them civilly and criminally liable if something happens on that bus.

They refuse to let them down that bus.

An inflatable rat sits propped up in front of the Minooka Transportation Department on Thursday.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Everyone else has the right to down a bus. These drivers don’t, and they won’t let them. We told these people to get serious and we will come back to the table.”

Other items the union and districts have reportedly been at odds over include the negotiating process, such as the amount of time and number of sessions needed for contract negotiations.

Flynn said in an email that districts had all summer to work on buses, and claims that when District 111 started Monday, two buses broke down. Lee said he was unaware of any malfunctions that occurred this week with the district’s buses. Monn stated in an email that District 201 always ensures the safety of students and staff.

“Any implications to the contrary is false. Our school buses go through hundreds of inspections each year, beginning with daily inspections by our drivers and including multiple inspections by our certified mechanics,” Monn said.

By Diane Krieger Spivak The Midwest Institute of Robotic Surgery at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox recently acquired its third da Vinci robot—the Xi® Surgical System, for advanced minimally invasive procedures. More procedures using da Vinci robotic technology are performed at Silver Cross than any other hospital or surgical center in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Controlled 100% by a surgeon at a console inside the operating room, the Xi is used for highly complex procedures requiring access to several parts of the body through the abdomen or chest, the Xi translates the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body.

“Previously, if I needed to explore beyond the primary surgical site, I would have to reposition the patient or disconnect and reconnect the entire robot,” said Dr. R.A. Gamagami, who trains surgeons nationwide on colorectal and

general surgery da Vinci techniques. “The new Xi can rotate the operating table with the patient connected to the robot, eliminating the need to disconnect and reconnect, allowing us to perform meticulous, complex surgery in a safe, even less-invasive manner.”

“The Xi’s arms are smaller, thinner and have a greater range of motion than previous versions,” adds Dr. Nahla Merhi, one of the first urogynecologists in the country to perform hysterectomies through a single small incision in the belly button.

Robotic surgery requires significantly smaller incisions than open surgery. “The potential benefits include reduced pain and scarring, minimal blood loss, lower risk of complications, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time,” said Dr. Thai Nguyen, urologist and medical director of the robotic surgery program at Silver Cross Hospital.

Patients consistently rate Silver Cross’s surgical team in the nation’s top 10% for patient satisfaction. For more information or a referral to a surgeon with The Midwest Institute for Robotic Surgery, visit midwestroboticsurgery.org.

SHOREWOOD – Troy School District 30-C plans to spend nearly $6 million on facility improvements in the fiscal 2016-17.

The school board voted at its meeting Wednesday to put the tentative 2016-17 budget on display and set a public hearing next month about the matter. All members present voted yes; Kristin Dawn Cross was absent.

District revenue for 2016-17 is projected in the tentative budget at about $52.6 million and expenditures are expected to be about $57.7 million, said Elaine Colombo, executive director of finance and operations.

However, about $5.6 million of those expenditures will go toward facility improvements to be paid for using savings from previous years, Colombo said.

Included in the improvements is the enclosure of four open team centers at Hofer Elementary, which will now serve as classrooms to accommodate the district’s needs after it approved redistricting last school year.

Also part of the budgeted improvements is work at Crossroads Elementary, including mechanical upgrades, HVAC work and the division of an art room to create an extra classroom.

All improvements were complet-

ed in time for the start of the 2016-17 school year Wednesday.

Colombo said that as a result of the work, expenditures are budgeted at about 7 percent more than they were in fiscal 2015-16, but revenue is relatively flat year-over-year.

“We had a very conservative revenue budget,” she said.

Colombo noted that although the state of Illinois has committed all funds owed to the district for 2016-17 to be paid, the district opted not to budget all state revenue sources at 100 percent as a precautionary measure.

“If we didn’t totally get all the monies from the state, it would not stop us from opening the doors,” board President Mark Griglione said.

Griglione anticipates the board will vote to finalize the budget at its meeting immediately after the public hearing Sept. 21. He doesn’t predict any major changes will be made to the tentative budget.

“I’m not expecting any controversy,” he said.

The hearing will take place at 6:50 p.m. at the district’s administration center, 5800 W. Theodore St., Plainfield.

Anyone interested in viewing the budget before the hearing can do so during district business hours, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday, at the administration center.

Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates speaks during a news conference June 28 at the Justice Department in Washington. The Justice Department says it is phasing out its relationships with private prisons after a recent audit found the private facilities have more safety and security problems than ones run by the government. of private prisons. This is the right step forward.”

The Clinton campaign has said it no longer accepts contributions from private prison interests, and if it receives such a contribution, it will donate that money to charity. The private prison industry is a major contributor to Republican political campaigns, particularly in recent years. GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he supports the use of private prisons.

The private prisons on the chopping block are operated by three private companies – Corrections Corporation of America, GEO Group Inc., and Management and Training Corporation. After the announcement Thursday, Cor-

rections Corp. stock dropped $13.22, or 48.6 percent, to $14 and Geo Group tumbled $13.80, or 42.7 percent, to $18.49.

Both companies get about half their revenue from the federal government.

The Management and Training Corporation and Corrections Corporation of American issued statements saying they were disappointed with the decision. They also said they disagreed with the conclusions of an inspector general’s audit that preceded the Justice Department’s decision.

The federal government started to rely on private prisons in the late 1990s because of overcrowding. Many of the federal prison inmates held in private facilities are foreign nationals who are

being held on immigration offenses, the audit said.

Immigration and human rights advocates have long complained about the conditions in privately run prisons. Amnesty International on Thursday urged states to follow suit. Some states, such as Kentucky, already have.

Before Thursday, the Bureau of Prisons had been working toward the goal of phasing out private prison contracts when, three weeks ago, it did not renew a contract for 1,200 beds, Yates said. Thursday’s policy change also included direction to change a current solicitation for a private prison contract, cutting the maximum number of beds required by 66 percent.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration announced Thursday it will phase out its use of some private prisons, affecting thousands of federal inmates and immediately sending shares of the two publicly traded prison operators plunging.

In a memo to the Bureau of Prisons, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates told it to start reducing “and ultimately ending” the Justice Department’s use of private prisons.

The announcement follows a recent Justice Department audit that found that the private facilities have more safety and security problems than government-run ones.

The Obama administration said the declining federal prison population justifies the decision to eventually close privately run prisons. The federal prison population – now at 193,299 – has been dropping because of changes in federal sentencing policies over the past three years. Private prisons hold about 22,100 of these inmates, or 12 percent of the total population, the Justice Department said.

The policy change does not cover private prisons used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which hold up to 34,000 immigrants awaiting deportation.

“Private prisons served an important role during a difficult period, but time has shown that they compare poorly to our own Bureau facilities,” Yates wrote in a memo to the acting director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. As private prison contracts come to an end, the bureau is not to renew the contract or it should at least “substantially” reduce its scope, Yates wrote. She did not specify a timeline for when all federal inmates would be in government-owned facilities.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said the U.S. should move away from using private facilities to house inmates. On Thursday, she tweeted: “Glad to see that the Justice Department is ending the use

Chicago police seek to fire 7 cops for false reports

By DON BABWIN and MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Seven Chicago police officers should be fired for filing false reports in the fatal shooting of black teenager Laquan McDonald in 2014, the police superintendent said Thursday, in a move aimed at repairing the reputation of a department dogged by decades of cover-ups and scandal.

The release last year of official police reports that directly contradicted video evidence of McDonald’s shooting by a white police officer turned a spotlight on longstanding concerns about a “code of silence” in Chicago’s police force, in which officers stay quiet about or conceal possible misconduct by colleagues.

Superintendent Eddie Johnson said in a statement Thursday that after reviewing documents, video and other evidence, he was accepting the recommendation of the city’s inspector general to fire seven officers because of their accounts of the incident.

The officers violated Rule 14, which prohibits “making a false report, writ-

Illinois Democrats trumpet Trump name, taunt GOP reluctance

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Democrats had no trouble voicing the name of the Republican presidential nominee during Democrat Day at the State Fair on Thursday, deriding their GOP brethren for failing to mention Donald Trump at a rally a day earlier and tying the contentious real estate developer to GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner.

“They’re two peas in a pod.

They’re joined at the hip,” said House Speaker Michael Madigan, the Chicago Democrat at the center of Republican state fair taunts a day earlier.

Democrats, who with supermajority control of the General Assembly have locked horns with first-term governor Rauner over state spending, trumpeted their party’s diversity and

“I think [Police Superintendent] Eddie Johnson gets it. He gets the crisis that we are in and how to solve it.”

Jedidiah Brown

leader of the group Chicago Life ten or oral,” Johnson said. He did not name the seven officers.

Johnson will take his recommendation to the city’s police board, which will make the final decision. The process typically takes about seven months, so any decision to fire the officers isn’t likely until next year.

Johnson became the superintendent after Mayor Rahm Emanuel fired Garry McCarthy because of the McDonald shooting video and his recommendation marks the single biggest decision he has made for a department long dogged by suspicions that it condones or covers up the brutality and misconduct of its officers.

compassion. Tammy Duckworth, the Democratic congresswoman seeking to unseat U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, denounced the “hate-filled, fear-mongering vision for America” she says Trumps espouses.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat who rejected – for now – the idea of challenging Rauner in 2018, mocked Republicans for only sparse mentions of Trump’s name Wednesday at Governor’s Day. Kirk has disavowed the GOP rival to Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Rauner refuses to say whether he supports him.

Democrats extolled labor unions for their support, a nod to the working-class base the party claims and in contrast to multimillionaires Trump and Rauner.

Rauner signs law setting new rules for treating sepsis

URBANA – Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed legislation named for a 5-year-old Illinois girl that will require hospitals to be better prepared to treat patients with sepsis or septic shock.

Dean Angelo Sr., the head of the Chicago police union, defended the officers. He said their interpretation of what unfolded may have been accurate from their perspective, noting that perceptions can be affected in high-stress situations, such as shootings.

“That’s what humans go through,” he said. “And contrary to popular belief, police officers are human beings.”

But community activists praised Johnson’s announcement, saying the rare move shows he is serious about overhauling department practices.

“I think Eddie Johnson gets it. He gets the crisis that we are in and how to solve it,” said Jedidiah Brown, a leader of a group called Chicago Life.

Thomas Gradel, a co-author of Crime, Corruption and Cover-ups in the Chicago Police Department, a 2013 report published by the University of Illinois at Chicago, said the recommendation that so many officers be fired was unprecedented in the city and a step toward real reform.

“I don’t see how they can change back to the way things were before,”

Rauner signed Gabby’s Law on Thursday morning at Presence Covenant Medical Center in Urbana. The legislation is named for Gabby Galbo of Monticello, who died in 2012 from untreated sepsis. The measure received widespread support in the Illinois Legislature. Sepsis is a response to an infection that can lead to death. Gabby had an undetected tick bite that developed into sepsis.

The new law requires hospitals to adopt protocols for the early recognition and treatment of patients who have sepsis. It also requires that the protocols have certain components including those specific to treating children and adults.

Groups pressing Walgreens on clinic religious limits

CHICAGO – Four groups led by the American Civil Liberties Union are asking Walgreens for reassurance that its partnership with a Catholic health care system to run in-store clinics in the St. Louis area won’t limit women’s access to birth

“Contrary to popular belief, police officers are human beings.”

Dean Angelo Sr.

head of the Chicago police union

he said.

Johnson’s decision stems from a scene captured on dashcam video taken in October 2014 in which Officer Jason Van Dyke can be seen firing 16 times at McDonald, including when McDonald was on the ground. The release of the video the next year – on the orders of a judge – sparked days of protests, an investigation of Chicago police practices by the U.S. Justice Department and promises of reforms

by Emanuel who found himself scrambling to restore public confidence in his office and the police force.

Prosecutors filed first-degree murder charges against Van Dyke, who has pleaded not guilty.

control.

The drugstore giant announced in April that SSM Health, a St. Louis-based Catholic system, would own and operate 27 health clinics in Walgreens stores in Missouri and Illinois. The clinics open later this month.

In letters dated Wednesday, the ACLU-led groups asked Walgreens and SSM Health whether the clinics would be restricted by religious doctrine from allowing consultations on birth control and referrals for abortion.

The letters echo concerns raised by the ACLU in the states of Washington and Oregon over a similar deal involving 25 Walgreens-based clinics and another Catholic health system, Providence Health.

Nationally, retail clinics are a growing segment of health care with more patients choosing them over doctor’s offices for the convenience of weekend and evening service and drop-in visits. Walgreens is a big player, with more than 400 drugstore walk-in clinics offering care

for minor illnesses from nurse practitioners.

Chicago drafts vision for trails, swimming along 3 rivers

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago has drafted expansive recommendations for more trails and recreational options on its three rivers.

The program, called Our Great Rivers, includes detailed renderings and maps and a timeline extending to 2040. But it offers no answer to the question of how to pay for the work, saying any recommendation would be premature.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office called it the first unified vision for the Calumet, Chicago and Des Plaines rivers.

Goals include improving water quality enough to allow swimming, paddling and fishing.

Emanuel announced the plan Wednesday at Clark Park, along the Chicago River’s north branch, the site of a proposed pedestrian and bicycle path called the Riverview Bridge.

In a first, Trump says he regrets painful comments

By STEVE PEOPLES and JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – For the first time since declaring his presidential run, Republican Donald Trump offered an extended apology to those who may have been hurt by his caustic comments, saying that he regrets some of what he’s said “in the heat of debate.”

“Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing.

I have done that,” the GOP nominee reading from prepared text, said at a rally in Charlotte, N.C. “And believe it or not, I regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain.”

He added: “Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues.” As the crowd cheered, Trump pledged to “always tell you the truth.”

The remarks came as Trump makes significant changes to a campaign that has struggled since the Democratic and GOP nominating conventions from self-created distractions. Earlier Thursday, Trump moved to invest nearly $5 million in battleground state advertising to address daunting challenges in the states that will make or break his White House ambitions.

He also shook up his campaign in recent days, tapping a combative conservative media executive, Stephen Bannon, as campaign CEO. The New York businessman’s campaign reserved TV ad space over the coming 10 days in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to Kantar Media’s political ad tracker. While Democrat Hillary Clinton has spent more than $75 million on advertising in 10 states since locking up her party’s nomination, Trump’s new investment marks his first of the general election season.

Election Day is 81 days away, with early voting in the first states to begin in five weeks.

The step into swing-state advertising, which came after Trump’s second staffing shake-up in as many months, did little to alle-

viate the concerns of Republican officials frustrated with Trump’s refusal to adopt the tools of modern-day political campaigns.

“We may have reached the point of no return for Donald Trump,” said Republican strategist Alex Conant, a senior aide to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign.

In addition to Bannon, Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway filled the campaign manager position left vacant since Trump fired his former campaign chief almost two months ago.

But Trump struck a new, inclusive tone on Thursday, as he worked to improve his dismal pole numbers among nonwhite voters.

“I will not rest until children of every color in this country are fully included in the American Dream,” he said.

Conway insisted Thursday that the new team would help re-focus the nominee, without sacrificing the authenticity that fueled his successful primary campaign.

“We’re going to sharpen the message,” Conway told CNN. “We’re going to make sure Donald Trump is comfortable about being in his own skin – that he doesn’t lose that authenticity that you simply can’t buy and a pollster can’t give you. Voters know if you’re comfortable in your own skin.”

Rarely do presidential campaigns wait to advertise, or undergo such leadership tumult, at such a late stage of the general election.

Yet Trump has struggled badly in recent weeks to offer voters a consistent message, overshadowing formal policy speeches with a steady stream of self-created controversies, including a public feud with an American Muslim family whose son was killed while serving in the U.S. military in Iraq.

He now trails Clinton in preference polls of most key battleground states. And his party leaders, even at the Republican National Committee, already have conceded they may divert resources away from the presidential contest in favor of vulnerable Senate and House candidates if things don’t improve.

Blagojevich using daughters during re-sentencing latest selfish move SPRINGFIELD – It was like a nightmare that just kept coming back.

Rod Blagojevich was back in court this past week. He wanted a federal judge to cut his 14-year prison sentence after only serving four years.

But the judge said: nothing doing.

So, more than likely, Blagojevich is going to remain locked up for many years to come.

That’s a good thing.

Blagojevich testified from prison through a teleconference transmission. It was the first public appearance for the former governor, who was known for his shoe-polish black hair when he was the state’s chief executive.

Now he has a snow-white helmet of locks.

Hair dye isn’t allowed in prison.

Lots of reporters focused in on the former governor’s hair.

But for me, the hearing brought a flood of memories.

I had a front row seat on Rod Blagojevich’s political self-immolation during his six years in office. During my 30 years in the news business, I’ve been lied to by the best of them, but Rod took political prevarication to a whole new level.

He’s a man who blended arrogance with incompetence to create the most corrupt administration in the state’s history.

A lot of folks will remember Blagojevich for his dishonesty, most famously for trying to sell a U.S. Senate seat.

But for me, it is not the felonies that come to mind first. It’s the small lies, the rudeness and his contempt for others that stand out. He’s the sort of fellow who would cuss at custodians in the Capitol, refuse an elderly woman on crutches a ride in the elevator and even joke about a state worker who died of breast cancer.

This casual arrogance didn’t make it into news stories often, but it said mountains about who he was.

This month, he had his wife and two daughters appear in

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Scott Reeder court on his behalf.

Annie Blagojevich, 13, wept when she told the judge, “I almost don’t want to grow up because I want to wait for him to come home.”

Big sister Amy, 20, said phone calls, emails and visits “only go so far,” and she described the humiliation she feels crying in front of other inmates and prison guards.

I couldn’t help but think that back when he was governor and Blagojevich said he wouldn’t move to Springfield because it would be too hard for Amy to be raised in a city where everyone would know her as the “governor’s daughter.”

If this month’s hearing tells us anything, it’s that he’s not afraid have his two children known as the “inmate’s daughters.”

In fact, Amy has since publicly complained about being bullied on the internet over her testimony.

Blagojevich was selfish in the way he used his daughters to try and cut a better deal for himself.

One fellow inmate wrote the sentencing judge and said “You can really tell someone’s character by how they treat others, especially those that have been less fortunate and Mr. Blagojevich treats everyone with the patience and dignity they deserve.

He never snubs anyone and is very humble.”

But would a truly selfless individual put his daughters through the agony of testifying on his behalf?

I don’t think so.

It would appear that “humility” is as phony as his once jetblack hair.

General aviation, local airports a lifeline for Ill. When most people think of aviation, they often think of Chicago, commercial service and O’Hare International Airport.

But there is so much more. Throughout the rest of the state, there are close to 98 general aviation airports that connect hundreds of communities.

Medevacs, blood banks and law enforcement use small aircraft to transport people, supplies and survey neighborhoods.

General aviation contributes more than $9 billion to the state’s total economic output and supports more than 42,000 jobs. Specifically, companies of all sizes use general aviation to conduct business more efficiently, travel to meet with customers and suppliers, deliver parts and tools quickly, and travel to places without commercial service.

Local airports and the aviation industry also offer promising careers and job growth. Training and degree programs like the ones at Lewis University, Parkland College and Southern Illinois University, just to name a few, are teaching young people to be pilots and mechanics.

And this industry supports the passion for flight as well. From 1910, when a group of flying enthusiasts founded the Aero Club of Illinois at Cicero Field, to the current City of Chicago Air & Water Show and Wings Over Waukegan, aviation connects communities and inspires people of all ages.

General aviation also is critical to transporting patients and their families seeking medical treatment. Organizations such as Lifeline Pilots, based in

Peoria, fly patients and their families to specialized medical treatment centers in and around the region.

For example, recently, a volunteer pilot flew a 1-year-old boy and his family from the St. Louis area to the Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia for life-saving heart surgery. The boy had a compromised immune system, preventing him from traveling on a commercial flight.

General aviation and the generosity of volunteer pilots made this treatment and flights like this possible.

But this may not always be the case.

In Washington, some have proposed taking away governance over our air traffic system away from Congress and putting it under a board of directors that would be dominated by the big airlines. This board would dominate decisions about fees, routes and what airports get invested in. This type of system would likely leave smaller communities left out – the same communities that have seen their routes cut by 20 percent during the last several years.

Right now, our air transportation system is the busiest, the largest and the most diverse in the world. Thousands of airports serve millions of passengers and communities large and small. Let’s keep it that way and make sure our aviation system stays open for business to everyone.

Joliet West’s Lauren Widlowski returns a serve during a sectional match last season against Minooka. Widlowski and the Tigers will see more of the Indians this season, as Minooka ranks among the top teams in the Southwest Prairie Conference, which West and Joliet Central are joining.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: JOLIET CENTRAL AND JOLIET WEST

EXCITING AND CHALLENGING

Joliet Central, Joliet West primed for SPC volleyball battles

By KAITLYN JASNICA

kjasnica@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Each girls volleyball season brings something new to the table.

Great athletes graduate, and others have the chance of cementing their status as top players.

This year, Joliet West and Joliet Central are not only at a different table, they aren’t even at the same restaurant.

Both teams will move to the Southwest Prairie Conference after competing in the SouthWest Suburban. Already, they see the move as a positive for many reasons.

“I am excited about this season,” Joliet West senior outside hitter Lauren Widlowski said. “The conference change will be new and a good challenge with new teams, but I think it will be reflected as a positive change.”

The coaches see other positive

changes with the switch as well.

The first is obvious. The Southwest Prairie schools are closer to the Joliet schools and will mean shorter trips.

“We will be going into the new conference and we are excited,” Central coach Suzzanne Bambule said. “Hopefully the proximity will be helpful as far as driving is concerned. Seeing new faces in competition also will be nice.”

The players also have the opportunity to build local rivalries with girls

they play with or against in club.

This year will be challenging for everyone in the Southwest Prairie. Plainfield Central cracked the PrepVolleyball.com top-100 list with a No. 95 ranking, and Minooka has yet to appear on the list but will crack the top40 list since PrepVolleyball touted the Indians as the second-best team in the state behind Geneva.

Pressure is on for the Slammers to claim playoff spot After recently building up a goodsized lead for first place in the Frontier League’s East Division standings, the Joliet Slammers are running into one of the realities of the sport, which is that claiming a playoff spot usually is a real challenge.

Things have come a bit easier since the Slammers are the lone team in their division that has consistently been over the .500 mark. And heading into the final 16 games of the regular season, manager Jeff Isom’s squad still found themselves in that same position.

But as Joliet gets ever closer to earning its first playoff appearance since 2011, when it won the Frontier League championship, it’s found the going has gotten tough, with teams that are out of the postseason picture causing havoc to its hopes.

After winning three straight over Schaumburg last week, things were looking up for the Slammers as they took on the last-place team in their division, Traverse City, in a three-game series at Silver Cross Field. But they only won one of the three contests.

VIEWS Curt Herron Then in a two-game series at fifthplace Schaumburg this week, Joliet fell, 2-1, in the opener and then fell, 2-0, in Thursday’s game.

The Slammers only have five series remaining, so all of them are important. But the next four are really significant since those are against teams that are in the best position to challenge for one of the league’s four playoff spots.

Joliet owned a 43-37 record after Thursday’s game and held a 31/2-game lead over Washington for first place after the Wild Things claimed a 2-0 win over Traverse City. Lake Erie beat Windy City 4-2 to take a 11/2-game lead for third place, 5.5 games off of the pace.

Currently, the East Division is only assured of one playoff spot, which will go to the division champion, who would then receive the second-seed behind the West Division winner, which figures to

be Southern Illinois, which led Evansville by 7.5 games going into Thursday.

Evansville entered the day at 45-34, so it’s in a good position to claim the third-seed, while Normal was 41-38 and held the advantage over Gateway and Washington for the fourth, and final, playoff position.

The Slammers travel to St. Louis’ Metro East this weekend to face Gateway for their final matchup against a West Division squad. The Grizzlies are battling for the last playoff spot so they obviously have plenty of incentive.

Then Joliet returns home Tuesday for a three-game set with Windy City, which is seeing its postseason hopes fading after falling eight games under .500.

Beginning on Thursday, Joliet faces what likely will be its most critical series when it plays four games in Washington, which entered this weekend with a 39-40 record.

During the final week, the Slammers play three games at Lake Erie before wrapping up the regular season with a three-game series against Traverse City

Continued from page 21 Instead of being intimidated by the two new opponents, West and Central are excited. They’ve faced tough teams such as the Lincoln-Ways, Sandburg, etc., in the SouthWest Suburban and are looking forward to the new faces.

“The new conference is a exciting but challenging opportunity,” West coach Al Mart said. “There will be some great teams and players we will be facing throughout the years to come. Just like before, we will have to come to play every time to be successful.”

“I believe our team will step up to the challenges,” West senior setter Areli Hernandez said. “Our team has been training very hard to keep our reputation high. I think we will do well in this conference. It will be new, but we are up for this challenge.

“We have our goals set for this season. Our team knows where we stand and we are prepared for this season in this new conference.”

As with all teams, Central and West have a goal of having a successful season. Central will look to improve on its 9-25 record, while West will look to continue its success streak from last year’s 30-7 season.

Both teams have positive outlooks going in.

“We have a young, inexperienced team, however, it is led by senior setter Brenna Rande,” Bambule said. “I am really looking forward to seeing

at home.

If Joliet splits the rest of its 16 regular season games, then it finishes with a 51-45 record. That would force Washington would have to go 13-4 to finish better while Lake Erie would need to go on a 14-1 run to finish ahead of the Slammers, if they go .500 the rest of the way.

Isom has made a number of moves recently to try to get his squad over the hump. The Slammers traded reliever Tyler Levine and first baseman Sikes Orvis to Evansville for players to be named later. That opened a spot for last year’s team leader in average and RBIs, Mike Garza, to return. They also signed outfielder Jimmy Heck.

After leading their division for much of the season, the pressure is on for the Slammers. They can help their cause greatly with a strong showing in next weekend’s trip to Washington. But as we’ve seen of late, no team is going to roll over for them the rest of the way.

2015 record: 9-25 Key returners: Anna Breausche (Jr., RH, 5-9); Tayler Lindeman (Jr., DS, 5-6); Kelly McGee (Sr., DS, 5-5); Brenna Rande (Sr., S, 5-9).

Key additions: Kierra Cartwright (Jr., 5-4); Jayde Tate (So., 5-10), Taylor Voss (So., 5-10).

Key graduatIon loss: Jicara Tate.

Coach Suzzanne Bambule: “We are a young, positive team looking forward to joining a new conference.”

Joliet West’s Lauren Widlowski keeps her eye on the ball as she dives to return a serve during a match last season. a positive leadership from her, on the court as well as off. She has been on varsity for four years so she can show the younger players commitment to the program, as well as being a part of a team.

“Kelly McGee also is a returning senior defensive specialist. Anna Breausche (rightside) and Tayler Lindeman also are varsity returners as juniors. Coming up to help add some wins this year are sophomores Taylor Voss (rightside), Taia DeBenedetti (defensive specialist) and Jayde Tate.”

“We are coming together as a family and focusing on being responsible to each other out on the court,” Widlowski said. “Everyone has responded with the same energy and given their full on the court to each other. So I think with this team, hard work will take us somewhere.”

Even with the new conference, one rivalry will remain. The crosstown rivalry between Central and West is still there, and both teams look forward to their favorite match of the year: Pink Heals.

Key additions: Savana Delrose (Jr., MH, 5-8); Monica Goedert (Sr., RH, 5-9).

Key graduation losses: Shannon Doran, Nicole Ochs, Allison Persicketti, Lauren Stefanski.

Coach Alan Mart: “We will be interesting to watch this year. We have hard-working kids who are very coachable. We will have to depend on our ball handling, defense and court smarts to be successful, as we are not very tall.”

“It is nice to have our district neighbors with us [moving to the SPC] and our last game will be our Pink Heals game versus West,” Bambule said.

Patriots beat Bears, but improvements seen

By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Brandon Bolden bounced his inside run to the right, headed for the pylon. The Patriots running back tucked the ball in his left arm – the wrong one – and lowered his left shoulder, like a cyclist leaning into a turn.

Tracy Porter saw it, and pounced.

The Bears cornerback put both arms around Bolden and yanked the ball out of the crook of his elbow with his left.

The ball fell to the ground at the Bears’ 4; Porter landed, jumped up and fell on it.

The play wasn’t indicative of the final score – 23-22 Patriots – but it was a reminder, after a week of fretting, that the Bears can be competent. Even capable.

After a 22-0 loss the week before, the Bears led the Patriots, 11-0, before they started sprinkling in second-stringers on both offense and defense.

Combine that with a relatively healthy four days at Patriot Place – no Bears player was felled by, say, a pair of scissors – and Week 2 of the preseason was decidedly better for the Bears than the first.

What was so disturbing about the exhibition opener defeat was which players on the Bears were beat. Their Bears’ flaws are rooted in their young depth, not necessarily the talent of

their best 11 players.

Still, the starting offense had 13 yards on 10 plays against the Broncos. Thursday night, the Bears had 34 yards after two plays and 46 after three.

Jeremy Langford’s eight carries for 55 yards topped the entire team’s rushing total of 17 carries for 48 yards the week before.

After being shut out seven days earlier, the Bears scored three points on Robbie Gould’s 36-yard field goal, six points on Langford’s 5-yard run, and two more on Rob Housler’s 2-yard catch – all within the game’s first 10 minutes.

Jay Cutler completed 8-of-12 passes for 83 yards; it would have been more were it not for Kevin White’s drop.

Receiver Alshon Jeffery’s two catches for 41 yards counted for about half of that, and completed perhaps one of the receiver’s best weeks ever; he dominated the Patriots’ secondary during the week, and did the same with the lights on Thursday.

Facing Rolling Meadows High School alum Jimmy Garoppolo – the surprise starter after, reports said, Tom Brady accidentally sliced his thumb before the game – the Bears were gifted a three-and-out when Aaron Dobson dropped a third-down pass to end the first drive.

The second drive ended on Bolden’s fumble – not that it had been pretty for the Bears. The Patriots marched 81 yards on 12 plays, aided by two poor

Porter plays. He took a bad angle on LeGarrette Blount’s 21-yard run and, on the next play, committed a blatant pass interference penalty on receiver Chris Harper for 11 more yards.

By the time the Patriots got the ball back, the Bears were playing backups.

That’s when the Patriots started their comeback, scoring 17 second-quarter points and kicking two more field goals in the third. By the time Garoppolo left with a 23-11 lead, he’d completed 16-of-21 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown to tight end A.J. Derby. The Patriots’ offensive starters began the second half, though, playing against the Bears’ second- and third-team defense.

Perhaps the league’s deepest team, the Patriots predictably were dominant against Bears backups. Upon entering the game with about four minutes left in the first half, Brian Hoyer immediately threw an interception to Cyrus Jones, who jumped Josh Bellamy’s comeback route. The Bears ran four more plays in the half, losing one yard.

Before Jordan Howard ran for 11 yards on the last play of the third quarter, Hoyer’s offensive unit had gained four yards on six plays during the period. Hoyer’s 52-yard completion to Rob Housler early in the fourth quarter set up first-and-goal from the 6, but the Bears came away empty after an incompletion on fourth-and-2.

By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Pernell McPhee took the latest step in his rehab Thursday, working with trainers on the Gillette Stadium turf three hours before kickoff of the Bears’ second preseason game.

The outside linebacker wore a T-shirt, shorts and no brace on either knee. He had offseason arthroscopic surgery and likely will have to monitor his knees, to some extent, for the rest of his career.

McPhee backpedaled, ran with high knees and used full leg extension.

A day earlier, general manager Ryan Pace told WGN podcast “Intentional Grounding” the Bears would not rush McPhee back and was taking a “patient approach to have him for the long haul.”

Defensive end Cornelius Washington (ankle, knee) and tight end Ben Braunecker (ankle) worked out alongside McPhee. Neither played.

Starters out: Tight end Zach Miller and inside linebacker Danny Trevathan did not play against the Patriots.

The tight end first went into the NFL’s concussion protocol Aug. 1 and missed practice Tuesday with a doctor’s appointment, only to return for Wednesday’s walkthrough and claim he did not suffer a setback.

Trevathan, who was nursing a knee injury, missed Tuesday’s practice and Wednesday’s walkthrough.

Coach John Fox insisted Tuesday it was merely regular rest.

Other Bears who missed the game: receivers Derek Keaton (leg) and Eddie Royal (concussion), cornerbacks Kyle Fuller (knee) and Bryce Callahan (Fox called it a vague “muscle strain”), running back Ka’Deem Carey (concussion) and inside linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski (hamstring).

Brady cut: Reports indicated the Patriots would start Tom Brady on Thursday despite there being no rush for him to be sharp – he’s suspended for the first four regular-season games as a result of “Deflategate.”

Brady didn’t warm up with his teammates, though, and Jimmy Garoppolo started instead.

There was a good reason, according to Comcast SportsNet New England: Brady accidentally sliced his thumb with scissors while trying to dislodge something from his cleat before the game. He was spotted in a suit, walking toward the player’s parking lot before the kickoff.

24 BOOMERS 2, SLAMMERS 0

Slammers blanked by Schaumburg The HERALD-NEWS

SCHAUMBURG – A week ago, the Joliet Slammers helped their playoff chances by winning three straight games over Schaumburg.

But their fortunes against the Boomers changed dramatically this week as they only managed one run in two games and dropped both contests, falling 2-0 on Thursday.

With Washington winning 2-0 over Traverse City, the Slammers (43-37) saw their lead for first place in the Frontier League’s East Division fall to 31/2 games over the Wild Things.

Joliet only collected three hits, with Alfredo Rodriguez getting most

of those in a 2-for-4 effort. Jake Gronsky, last week’s Frontier League Player of the Week, collected the other hit.

Both starters pitched well but settled for no-decisions. Shane Bryant allowed five hits in six innings while Schaumburg’s Gunnar Kines yielded three hits and fanned six in 62/3 innings.

Jake Joyce got the win and Dexter Price picked up the save after they allowed no hits in the final 21/3 innings. Zach Hirsch allowed both of the Boomers runs in the seventh to take the loss. Tobias Moreno (2 for 4) and Jordan Dean each drove in a run for Schaumburg.

AREA ROUNDUP

Murphy, U.S. women upset in semifinals The HERALD-NEWS RIO DE JANEIRO – Serbia stunned the top-ranked U.S. women’s volleyball team Thursday at the Summer Olympics, ending its pursuit for its first Olympic gold.

With star hitter Foluke Akinradewo injured early, Joliet Catholic graduate Kelly Murphy and the American squad came back from a 2-1 deficit to force a fifth set before falling, 15-13.

Serbia, which lost in four sets to the U.S. earlier in the Olympics in pool play, won 20-25, 25-17, 25-21, 16-25, 15-13 Thursday, handing the Americans their first defeat in Rio and relegating them to the bronze-medal match at 11 a.m. Saturday against either Netherlands or China.

Akinradewo’s teammates stepped up to fill the void after she hurt her left knee late in the opening set. Play-

ing the opposite position, Murphy totaled five points in the match with four kills and a block.

Two-time defending Olympic champion Brazil was ousted in a five-setter by China in the quarterfinals.

So Serbia will face the young Chinese squad coached by former U.S. coach Jenny Lang Ping or surprising Netherlands, which is in the Olympic volleyball competition for the first time in 20 years, for the gold medal.

CUBS 9, BREWERS 6

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Kris Bryant came to the plate in the eighth inning a triple shy of the cycle.

The Cubs slugger was trying for a little more.

“My last at-bat I was thinking home run,” Bryant said. “There aren’t too many games you can hit three home runs.”

Bryant settled for an RBI single to cap a 5-for-5 day with two homers, a double and five RBIs. He helped the Cubs overcome a career-high seven walks by Jake Arrieta to beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 9-6, Thursday for a

four-game sweep.

Bryant tied Colorado’s Nolan Arenado for the NL lead with 30 home runs.

And as the Cubs won for the 18th time in 21 games and improved the best record in the majors to 77-43, the only controversy in their jovial clubhouse is whether Bryant or teammate Anthony Rizzo is the better NL MVP candidate.

Two days after a circus catch of a foul ball, Rizzo doubled twice off Zach Davies (9-6). Rizzo has driven in 86 runs and Bryant 78. “(Rizzo) always jokes around me saying when Miguel Cabrera won the Triple Crown, Prince

Fielder was hitting behind him,” Bryant said. “So he always tells me I’m his Prince. I can’t say enough about having him behind me.”

The Cubs’ ace welcomed Bryant’s big day with the wind blowing out. The Cubs led, 5-0, when Arrieta (15-5) issued a pair of two-out walks in the fourth.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis followed with a three-run homer.

Hernan Perez hit a solo homer in the sixth off Arrieta, who allowed four runs and three hits in 52/3 innings.

Aroldis Chapman worked the ninth for his seventh save with the Cubs.

Naquin hits game-ending sac fly, Indians top Sox

By BRIAN DULIK

The Associated Press CLEVELAND – Cleveland manager Terry Francona put up a pinch-hitter in the middle of an at-bat, and the strategy paid off when Tyler Naquin lofted a game-ending sacrifice fly in the ninth inning that lifted the Indians over the White Sox, 5-4, Thursday night.

The AL Central-leading Indians scored a single run in each of the last five innings to overtake the Sox. Cleveland improved to 6-2

on an 11-game homestand.

Abraham Almonte doubled to begin ninth off Jacob Turner (1-2). With Roberto Perez batting, a passed ball by Dioner Navarro moved Almonte to third.

Francona then sent Naquin to the plate with a 1-0 count. The rookie drove the first pitch he saw to center field, deep enough that Adam Eaton couldn’t prevent Almonte from scoring.

Andrew Miller (7-1) earned the win with one inning of scoreless relief. The Indians activated righthander Danny Salazar from the 15-

day disabled list before the game, but he lasted just one inning in the shortest start of his career.

Salazar, who had been sidelined because of inflammation in his pitching elbow, walked three to load the bases with one out. Justin Morneau hit a three-run double, and Salazar got the next two batters and was pulled.

Rajai Davis hit an RBI double in the seventh off Chris Beck to pull Cleveland within 4-3. The Indians tied it in the eighth on an RBI single by Jose Ramirez against Nate Jones.

Brazilian police say Lochte, swimmers were not robbed The ASSOCIATED PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO – Brazilian police said Thursday that swimmer Ryan Lochte and three U.S. teammates were not robbed after a night of partying, and the intoxicated athletes instead vandalized a gas station bathroom and were questioned by armed guards before they paid for the damage and left.

The robbery that was or wasn’t has become the biggest spectacle outside of the Olympic venues in Rio, casting a shadow over American Olympians amid an otherwise remarkable run at the Summer Games. The ordeal was also a blow to Brazilians, who for months endured scrutiny about whether the city could keep athletes and tourists safe given its long history of violence.

“No robbery was committed against these athletes. They were not victims of the crimes they claimed,” Civil Police Chief Fernando Veloso said during a news conference.

The police account came in direct contrast to claims from Lochte’s attorney earlier in the week. The attorney, Jeff Ostrow, had insisted the swimmer had nothing to gain by making up the story. He, as well as Lochte’s father and agent, did not return phone calls seeking comment.

The swimmers could potentially face punishment – probation, suspension, a fine or expulsion – under USA Swimming’s code of conduct. It was not clear if the swimmers would face criminal charges, although police said the athletes could be charged with destruction of property, falsely reporting a crime or both.

Two of the swimmers – Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger – checked in to a flight out of Brazil late Thursday after a judge lifted the order seizing their passports and keeping them in the country.

They had testified about the incident earlier in the day, and Brazilians chanted “liar” as they left the police building.

“They did not lie in their statements. They never lied to journalists.

They only stayed quiet. They did not know what was going on,” attorney Sergio Riera said.

Lochte initially said that he and Conger, Bentz and teammate Jimmy Feigen were held at gunpoint and robbed several hours after the last

American Olympic swimmers Gunnar Bentz (left) and Jack Conger (center) leave the police station Thursday at Rio International airport.

Olympic swimming races ended. But police then said they didn’t have evidence to substantiate the claim.

Their passports were ordered seized so the investigation could continue, but Lochte already had left the country.

Although some details in the official account of the story changed on Thursday – police first said no guns were involved, then said two guards pointed weapons at the swimmers – security video confirmed the athletes vandalized parts of the gas station, leading to an encounter with station employees.

The closed-circuit video shows one of the swimmers pulling a sign off a wall and dropping it onto the ground.

A gas station worker arrives, and other workers inspect the damage. Veloso said the swimmers broke a door, a soap dispenser and a mirror.

The swimmers eventually talk with station workers as their cab leaves.

As they talk, two of the swimmers briefly raise their hands and all four sit down on a curb. After a few minutes, the swimmers stand up and appear to exchange something – perhaps cash, as police said – with one of the men.

The footage doesn’t show a weapon, but a police official speaking on the

condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing said two guards pointed guns at the swimmers.

Veloso said the guards did not use excessive force and would have been justified in drawing their weapons because the athletes “were conducting themselves in a violent way.”

A station employee called police, and the guards and employees tried to get the swimmers and the taxi driver to stay until authorities arrived, some even offering to help interpret between English and Portuguese, Veloso said. But he said the athletes wanted to leave, so paid 100 Brazilian reals (about U.S. $33) and $20 in U.S. currency and left.

Conger and Bentz told authorities that the story of the robbery had been fabricated, said the police official who spoke to the AP about the guns. Feigen’s whereabouts – and if he would give a statement – were not known.

Police said the swimmers were unable to provide key details in early interviews, saying they had been intoxicated.

The police official said officers grew suspicious when security video showed the swimmers returning to the athletes village wearing watches, which likely would have been taken in a robbery.

OLYMPIC TRACK & FIELD

Bolt takes Olympic 200 but comes up short of the record

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – Usain Bolt tilted his head backward and screamed. He plaintively raised his palms to the sky, tugged hard on his shirt, then tore off the No. 6 sticker stuck to his right hip and threw it to the ground.

It had the look of an unthinkable loss in the Olympic 200 meters.

But there’s only one opponent who can really beat Bolt: Time.

The Jamaican superstar romped in what he says is likely his last Olympic individual race Thursday night, but finished in 19.78 seconds, .59 short of his own world record – the one he said he really wanted to break.

“I’m always happy for the win,” said Bolt, who turns 30 on Sunday, in a postrace interview with NBC. “But I wanted a faster time.”

Hard to argue with a win, though, and Bolt has Olympic gold medal No. 8, and a third straight 200 title to go with the same trifecta in the 100 . His run for No. 9 comes Friday in the 4x100 relays.

All good stuff. But that expression as he crossed the finish line told the real

story.

Bolt was leading before the legs on his 6-foot-5 frame had even powered him through the first curve. The field chased him through a thin mist that started about 30 minutes before the race. Andre de Grasse of Canada finished .24 behind and Christophe Lemaitre of France squeaked out bronze by .003 over Adam Gemili of Britain. You could’ve driven a truck through the gap between first and second place.

Way up ahead, Bolt gave every ounce of effort – no hot-dogging or celebrating early as was his wont in some of his best 100s – his arms pumping hard, face twisted with pain and effort as he hugged the left edge of his lane and approached the line.

He glanced to his left to check out the clock. The time came up, and when Bolt saw it, the reaction looked more like that of someone who’d lost than won.

At least the after-party was great.

What’s new?

With chants of “Usain Bolt, Usain Bolt” ringing out across a mostly full stadium, Bolt paraded around the track with his Jamaican flag while the reggae

music blared in the background. The once-in-a-lifetime sprinter dropped to his knees and kissed the track before giving his iconic “To The World” pose.

His record in his favorite race still stands, though, at 19.19. He set it in 2009 at the world championships, breaking the mark he’d previously set the year before (19.30) when he burst into the Olympics in Beijing.

He’d even suggested he could break the 19-second barrier – who will ever do that now? – in the race Bolt has always called his baby. It’s the sprint he worked on from the very beginning.

His coach wanted him to double in the 400, but that went out the window when he set his first world record in the 100 meters about two months before the Beijing Games.

So, the 100 was his hobby, the 200 was his day job, and when he started talking about goals for the Games, he said immortality was the main one.

“What else can I do to the world to prove I am the greatest? I’m trying to be one of the greatest. Be among Ali and Pele,” Bolt said after the race. “I hope after these games, I will be in that bracket.”

U.S. women’s volleyball fights back to force 5th set, falls short

Serbia’s players cried in triumph after the biggest win in their program’s history. They reached the Rio de Janeiro championship, guaranteeing the country’s first women’s volleyball medal after a 20-25, 25-17, 25-21, 16-25, 15-13 victory over the U.S. Foluke Akinradewo’s teammates took over after the U.S. star was sidelined by an apparent left knee injury late in the opening set after beginning the match brilliantly. She tried to give it a go, but the leg didn’t let her. Akinradewo will undergo tests to determine whether she might play Saturday.

The Americans are knocked out of title contention, and two-time defending Olympic champion Brazil was ousted in a stunning five-setter by China in the quarterfinals. That means Serbia will face a young Chinese squad led by former U.S. coach Jenny Lang Ping, which beat a Netherlands team that is back in the Olympics for the first time

Eaton defends decathlon title

Ashton Eaton defended his Olympic decathlon title, equaling the games record with a surge on the last lap of the 1,500 meters – the last event in the two-day competition.

The 28-year-old American finished with 8,893 points to match the Olympic mark set by Roman Sebrle of the Czech Republic in 2004.

AP photo Usain Bolt from Jamaica celebrates winning the gold medal Thursday in the men’s 200-meter final during the athletics competitions of the Summer Olympics at the Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

The U.S. will be playing for a sixth consecutive gold medal in women’s basketball after beating France, 86-67, the closest contest of the Rio Games for the Americans.

Diana Taurasi scored 18 points as the U.S. won Thursday night without the services of Sue Bird. The U.S. turned up its defense to make up for not being as crisp offensively after routing opponents by an average of 41.7 points.

The Americans, who won their 48th straight game, will play Spain in the final Saturday.

Bird, the Americans’ starting point guard and team captain, was sidelined with a sprained right knee. The U.S. led only 40-36 at halftime but outscored France 25-8 in the decisive third quarter to finally get some separation from the team that they beat in the 2012 gold medal game.

France will play Serbia for bronze.

OUT IN THE WILDERNESS

Cheri Johnson pushed herself on an epic hike and prevailed

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

JOLIET – Five days in the wilderness. No bathrooms. No showers. Carrying 50 pounds of gear in backpacks.

And spending that time with unfamiliar people.

Only one reason could induce Cheri Johnson to brave it.

“I wanted to see if I could do it,” said the 63-year-old Joliet resident.

Johnson, executive assistant to Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, said she spent five days hiking 8 to 15 miles a day up mountains – sometimes rising at 2:30 a.m. to do so – and scrambling over loose rocks.

“It was the most amazing thing I’ve done in my life and it was the hardest thing I’ve done,” she said.

Shelli Johnson, founder of Epic Life at yourepiclife.com and no relation to Cheri Johnson, defined “epic” as “something so hard you’re not sure you can do it.” Shelli said she started Epic Life after she sold her former business – Yellowstone Journal Corporation & National Park Trips – and decided to reinvent herself.

“I was overweight about 30 pounds. I was depressed. I was sedentary, which people can’t believe,” Shelli said. “I had been so stressed I wasn’t taking care of myself.”

So Shelli took several of her own epic hikes to challenge herself physically and emotionally and found she returned “better than I was before,” she said.

Eventually, Shelli became a certified professional coactive coach and began taking other women on guided epic hikes.

These hikes are geared toward women in good health, mainly in their 40s and 50s, who have been “striving their whole lives and want to consciously create what comes next.” These women are “looking to crank it up” and “do something unexpected and adventurous.”

Shelli said the average woman who signs up is 47, although some women are younger. Cheri was the oldest woman so far to participate in Shelli’s guided epic adventure, and she did well, Shelli said.

“She has the energy of a 30-year-old.

She was wonderful,” Shelli said. “She was so enthusiastic and had a lot of energy and a really positive outlook. She trained very hard for this. She was very capable.”

Preparation

Cheri said she learned about the epic

Cheri Johnson, of Joliet, said she spent five days hiking 8 to 15 miles a day up mountains – sometimes rising at 2:30 a.m. to do so – and scrambling over loose rocks in Wyoming.

More online Visit this article at TheHerald-News.com to view a video of Cheri Johnson defining doing one’s best. hikes when an out-of-state friend posted photos of her epic hike on Facebook.

Spellbound by the beautiful scenery, Cheri messaged her friend and asked for more information.

After Cheri contacted Shelli, they met in person when both women had business in Chicago. Cheri learned that professional guides accompany women on the hikes and understood the epic hike had nothing in common with the nice vacations and cruises she enjoyed taking.

Although she had worked out for years, Cheri said she began CrossFit to increase her endurance. She also walked with weighted backpacks and practiced the exercises Shelli recommended to build up her leg muscles.

I kept pushing myself,” Cheri said. “I was compelled to do it.”

Cheri said she had grown up on a

farm. She shod horses and helped in the fields. She wasn’t afraid of getting dirty, she said. But her determination left family and friends scratching their heads.

“I just wanted to see this beautiful country up close. I wanted to experience it,” Cheri said.

On July 24 – the day after her 45th class reunion at Newark Community High School – Cheri flew out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming where she met the other women, and enjoyed a nice lunch and dinner with them. Under the direction of the mountain guides, whom they also met, the women repacked their suitcases to lighten their loads, since every bit of garbage they used would also wind up in those backpacks, Cheri said, even the wipes they’d use for quick “showers.”

“It’s not like there was garbage cans where you could throw things away,” Cheri said.

The real adventure began the next day. They climbed into a large van at 6 a.m., drove for 90 minutes on a paved road and then stopped at a store to use cellphones and bathrooms, Cheri said.

That stop, she added, was the end of civilization.

No turning back

After that, it was roads full of potholes and Wyoming traffic jams (cattle crossing the road) until they came to a parking area.

The women climbed out, put on their backpacks and set out single file down a narrow path.

They scaled creeks by climbing trees, pitched tents near water sources, purified their water, wore mosquito netting, prepared simple meatless meals, endured altitude sickness and learned to take a shovel with them on “bathroom” breaks, Cheri said.

It isn’t for everyone, Cheri said, but she’s glad she did it.

“I’ll never forget the sense of accomplishment and just how – oh my God – gorgeous this beautiful country is,” Cheri said.

At the end of their adventure, the women celebrated in Jackson Hole with a big dinner.

“We were all starved for meat. I think I had bison or something,” Cheri said. “But we all just ate. And I actually picked up my plate when I was done and licked it.”

cones, and walk through the district’s new inflatable fire safety house.

The safety house has three rooms, one which is designed to teach basic fire safety and kitchen safety, a living room where residents can learn about the dangers of candles, fireplaces, and other heat sources that can cause a fire, and a bedroom where students discuss practicing emergency escape plans in their home and knowing two ways out of every room.

The safety house replaces the former safety trailer that was shared with several other area fire districts.

34 Hormone therapy can fight prostate cancer Dear Dr. K: My doctor has proposed androgen deprivation therapy to treat my prostate cancer. Can you tell me about this treatment?

Dear Reader: Androgens are the family of male sex hormones that includes testosterone. When prostate cancer develops, testosterone contributes to the growth and spread of the tumor. Androgen deprivation therapy deprives cancer cells of this stimulation.

Also known as hormonal therapy, it can be a powerful weapon in the fight against prostate cancer.

Hormonal therapy once was reserved for prostate cancer that had spread beyond the prostate. These days, doctors also combine it with radiation to treat locally advanced tumors. Hormonal therapy reduces the chance a tumor will progress or return. And it makes radiation therapy more effective at controlling prostate cancer.

The downsides? Some types of hormonal therapy have known cardiovascular risks.

The treatment also causes weight gain and bone loss.

Still, studies consistently have shown the longer a man receives hormonal therapy, the better his chances for extended survival.

Results from a recent clinical trial add to this evidence. They show the survival benefits of long-term hormonal therapy outweigh the risks.

The study was launched in 1992. It enrolled about 1,500 men with cancer confined to the prostate, or cancer that had spread into nearby tissues, such as the bladder.

From the appearance of prostate cancers under the microscope, doctors can estimate which cancers are likely to behave aggressively. The patients in this study had cancers that ranged from just slightly aggressive to highly aggressive.

During the study, half the men got only four months of hormonal therapy. It started

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff before and continued during radiation treatment. The other half got that treatment plus two additional years of hormonal therapy.

The results were presented last November. They showed after following the men for an average of 20 years, men who got the long-term treatment had a 40 percent lower risk of the cancer spreading. They also had a 33 percent lower risk of dying from prostate cancer. This was compared with men who were given hormonal therapy for just four months. In men with the highest-risk prostate cancer, long-term hormonal therapy dropped the odds of cancer spreading and death even further.

These results seem to weigh the scale heavily in favor of long-term hormonal therapy. But because of the side effects, the optimal duration of treatment remains an open question.

It’s obviously very important to know the best treatment to prevent a cancer from spreading and causing death. Every patient with cancer wants their doctor to know the answer.

This study demonstrates how tough it can be to get answers. Almost 1,500 people needed to agree to participate in the study, and they needed to continue participating for almost a quarter century. A research team needed to remain intact for that same quarter century. Research requires time and money. It’s the only way to get answers, and we need more answers.

• Friday, August 19, 2016

am 32 years old and divorced my wife two years ago. Although I tried dating for a bit, it was a brave new world of online apps and profiles. It wasn’t for me, and I became discouraged.

A year has gone by, and female friends are telling me I need to get back out and date. I find the whole endeavor depressing and prefer to spend my time elsewhere and single. They say my decision to stay single is emotionally driven and I “deserve love.”

My argument against dating is I wasn’t a good husband and I have no interest in devoting the time or energy to date in the scary and confusing world of the web. Can you settle this dispute so we can stop the back-and-forth arguments? – Divorced And Dateless Dear Divorced And Dateless: I agree opening yourself up to strangers can be scary. If you are not interested in meeting women on the internet, I won’t force you, even though that’s how many – although not all – relationships start these days.

There are other ways to meet nice women, among them participating in activities you enjoy or volunteering for a cause you believe in. Of course, that necessitates being open to having a relationship with someone and believing you deserve one. From the tone of your letter, I’m not sure you’re there yet. Not having been a good husband the first time is no excuse if you have learned from your mistakes.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years. He is in grad school. I failed out of community college. My lack of education stresses me out emotionally. I love him very much, and I see a future with him.

But the idea of an architect and a community college dropout makes my heart ache. He deserves someone more on his intellectual level.

He is from another state, and this is one of the reasons why I haven’t met his family.

I have thought about trying to get a degree to become a certified nursing assistant, but again there would be a gap in our professional levels. I’m afraid when he does introduce me to his family, they will convince him he’s better off without me.

Please give me advice about what to do. I don’t want to lose him, but at the same time, I want him to be happy. – Unequal In Wisconsin Dear Unequal: I can’t help but wonder if you have ever spoken with someone who does career counseling. Some universities and community colleges have extension divisions that offer it. Part of the counseling involves aptitude testing, which could help you determine what you would be good at.

Being a nursing assistant is a respectable career that involves responsibility and people skills. If you feel drawn to it, then that’s what you should pursue, and you should not feel embarrassed or have a need to apologize for it.

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Separate the good from the bad and strive to keep relationships equal and free of emotional manipulation. Think over a situation and figure out how much you want to give and what you need to receive in return. Weed out what isn’t working for you anymore.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Be responsible and take care of matters that affect your personal and home lives. An honest assessment followed by a good decision will turn your life around.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Stand up for what you want and what you believe in. Reject emotional blackmail being used to take advantage of or upset your household. Choose peace over discord.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Not everything will be out in the open. Before you make a decision that will change your life, ask questions that will give you a better idea of what’s actually happening.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A short trip will lead to a romantic encounter or a getaway for two will bring you closer together. Good fortune lies ahead if you are willing to compromise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Personal problems will arise if you try to project an authoritative attitude. Learn from your mistakes.

Don’t use emotional blackmail or give in to someone who is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A commitment you make will bring you happiness and

help balance your life, emotions and future.

Get everything in writing to avoid any sort of misunderstanding. Know your goals and limitations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Uncertainty due to mixed emotions and conflicting information is apparent. You are best off not making assumptions. Instead, be responsible and wait for the facts to unfold.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Get your responsibilities out of the way so you can focus on what’s important to you. Learning something new or developing a talent or skill will improve your chances to get ahead.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A secretive approach is recommended. If you appear to be mysterious, you will gain the upper hand in

whatever situation you face. A financial gain is within reach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – A change to your personal life or among your colleagues will enhance your existence. Romance is highlighted, and nurturing a relationship that means the world to you is favored.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You’ll be put in a precarious position if you are too accommodating. Don’t be tempted by people offering short-term solutions that are expensive and indulgent. Hard work and discipline are your best bets.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Make a difference to someone by being supportive and attempting to try something that he or she enjoys doing. The pleasure will turn out to be yours.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Stay on top of financial, health and legal matters. Protect your assets and be careful of people trying to take advantage of you. Leave no room for mistakes. Take care of business yourself and bring about positive change that gives you something to look forward to.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A joint venture will sound better than it is. Don’t get roped into a bad deal just because someone puts pressure on you. Emotional manipulation will lead you down a dismal path.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Take control and call the shots. If you let someone dictate what you can and cannot do, you will not reach

your goals. Stay calm and avoid emotional indulgence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Finish what’s expected of you. Work alone in order to avoid interference. Abide by the rules and watch out for someone trying to take control. Protect your secrets.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Socializing and doing things with the people who touch you emotionally will bring greater meaning to your life. Romance is in the stars, and a playful attitude will bring good results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Overreacting will not help matters. Keep your thoughts to yourself until you gather enough information to make a rational choice. Talks will lead to arguments. Protect against injury and mishaps.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Emotions and money don’t mix. Listen to proposals or to those looking for a donation, but don’t make a decision to help based on emotional manipulation. Be blunt in order to avoid being pressured.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Follow your heart when it comes to work and how you want to move forward. Not everyone will approve of what you do, but it’s your life and your choice.

Don’t cave in under pressure.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will face delays when traveling, and you will be misinterpreted if you aren’t explicit in the way you express your thoughts. A compassionate and loving gesture is your best defense.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your emotions will be difficult to control. Take care of personal,

financial or legal matters. Putting a problem behind you will make it easier to focus on new beginnings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t be concerned with the actions of others. Stay focused on what matters to you and how you can contribute to a community that makes you feel comfortable and safe.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Make changes to your living quarters or arrangements. You can make your life better if your motives are clear and you do what’s best for you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Changes at home will bring you comfort and joy. Host a party or make plans to do something with a loved one. Try something new and explore different lifestyle choices.

Jennifer Hudson, a singer and actress, said, “Extreme exercise doesn’t save you from poor food choices. It can be difficult to exercise and erase away that chocolate cake or pizza pie. It doesn’t work that way.”

In today’s deal, declarer faces a choice of side suit to attack first.

Which should he select? South is in six hearts. West leads a trump from a low doubleton. East takes the trick and returns his remaining spade.

How should South continue?

South opened with a weak twobid. North, trusting that his partner would have a good suit at the prevailing unfavorable vulnerability, jumped straight to six spades. This had the side advantage of keeping East out of the auction.

South starts with 10 top tricks: five spades, three hearts and two clubs. It looks so obvious to take the second trump, cash the heart queen (the honor from the shorter side first), and play a heart to dummy’s king. Here, though, when the suit splits 5-1, the contract is in tatters. It doesn’t work that way.

Instead, declarer should play on clubs first. He takes dummy’s two tops. Are they 5-1? If so, South shifts to hearts, hoping for a 3-3 or 4-2 break. Here, though, everyone follows suit. Now declarer ruffs a club (West discards a diamond), cashes his heart queen, plays a heart to the king, ruffs another club, returns to the dummy by ruffing a diamond, and cashes both the last club and the heart ace. South takes five spades, three hearts, three clubs and the diamond ruff.
