Getting ready for prep football season Friday nights in the newsroom during prep football season are busy, to say the least.

Reporters and photographers head out to stadiums to partake in the Friday night lights action going on at high schools throughout Will and Grundy counties.

In the newsroom, we have staff working on the digital end to post videos, tweet out scores and update websites with the latest information about the action on the field.

And when the games end? The newsroom gets even busier as we work to get readers information about what just happened.

They’re long nights, but fun, and suffice to say, we’re excited it’s prep football time again.

We’re sure readers are, too, which is why we have special sections planned for The (Joliet) Herald-News and

VIEWS Kate Schott Morris Herald-News where you can read previews about area teams. Check out the Thursday editions this coming week of each publication to get your hands on those.

Once the season starts, we will continue the coverage we’ve been providing for the past few years: Visit our website (TheHerald-News.com) late Fridays/early Saturdays for scores, highlights from games and photo galleries, as well as the return of the weekly Football Chatter video, where Sports Editor Dick Goss presents the highlights of each week’s action.

Then turn to our Sunday edition – either in print or online – for more

complete coverage of games from Friday and Saturday.

We’re also hoping fans will get involved in the action this year by sending us photographs from the games you attend of your favorite team. It’s our intent to weekly pull together an online Fan Photo Gallery, but we need your help to do so. Tweet a picture to us Friday nights to @HeraldNewsSport – and be sure to use the hashtag #jhnfanphotos.

I can’t wait to see how the best prep fans in the area celebrate their teams!

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Joliet City Council referendum faces legal issues

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The proposed November referendum to restructure the Joliet City Council has run into legal problems because of language that would allow candidates to run for new council districts before they are created.

A Will County judge may decide Thursday whether the referendum can go forward under conditions that the city of Joliet has called “a legal impossibility.”

Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots filed a petition this week seeking court review of issues raised by the wording and timing of the referendum.

“I’m seeking direction from the court on what I’m supposed to do,” Voots said Friday. “If the referendum is on the ballot worded like this, the voters are going to be confused.”

The referendum brought by Concerned Citizens of Joliet states in part that “the change shall be effective for the 2017 municipal election and therefore the City of Joliet be divided by the sitting council

members into 8 districts by December 15, 2017.”

The 2017 municipal election is April 4, which means the referendum requires that candidates run for new council districts more than eight months before the deadline to put them in place.

To meet state law, the city would have to map out new council districts by this coming Monday, Joliet City Attorney Marty Shanahan said.

Election law requires that new districts be in place 30 days before candidates can pull their petitions, Shanahan said.

“They can pull petitions Sept. 30,” Shanahan said.

The referendum calls for the city to eliminate three at-large council positions and replace them with three district positions. That would change the number of district representatives from five to eight, and require a complete remap of council districts.

The referendum was filed Aug. 8, the last day for filing petitions for referendums for the Nov. 8 election. The proposal cleared the objection period, which ended Monday and was sent to the county clerk the next day.

The city attached an addendum to the filing with the county clerk stating in part, “It is a legal impossibility for the City of Joliet to be divided into eight districts for the April 4, 2017, municipal election.”

A hearing in Will County Court has been set for Thursday on the county clerk petition.

Maria Aracelia Rosas-Urbano, chairwoman for the Concerned Citizens of Joliet, declined to comment on Friday.

AN UP-CLOSE LOOK

BNSF and Union Pacific offer insights into local operations

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – They say everything is big in Texas, but everything in Will County seen by a tour of regional planners last week was pretty big, too.

The locally organized tour was designed to give planners who have a say on regional highway planning a look at the growth – especially in numbers of trucks hitting the roads – in the area.

“Welcome to Will County,” Will County Executive Larry Walsh said Wednesday to some 50 people about to

board a Pace bus in downtown Joliet to see the industrial development to the south. “You’re going to get a firsthand, bird’s-eye view of about what we’ve been talking about is happening in Joliet.”

The group visited the intermodal yards in Joliet and Elwood, the two facilities that make Will County the nation’s largest inland port handling containers moved by ships, trains and trucks.

They saw the 1.4 million-squarefoot Ikea distribution center under construction, and the two Amazon fulfillment centers that will employ

3,500 workers once the second facility is completed this fall.

But on that Wednesday morning, one thing the tour did not see was much congestion on Route 52 and Laraway Road – two areas where traffic can be at its worst but was not at that time.

Kelwin Harris, a senior outreach planner with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), even commented at the end of the tour how efficiently everything seemed to run.

“It was very impressive, too, how low it was in terms of impact on traffic and noise. It was extremely efficient,” Harris said. “I think it was extremely well-planned.”

Efficiency was emphasized at both intermodal yards in Joliet and Elwood.

Will County wins drag strip Grudge Match

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Once Larry Walsh, the elder statesman in the Will County vs.

Grundy County Grudge Match, won the first race, things were looking pretty good for his team.

Will County officials took four of the six races to win the trophy in the Saturday night drag racing contest at Route 66 Raceway.

“When you see him [Walsh] up there and he goes first and he wins, you got to follow in his footsteps,” said Will County Sheriff Mike Kelley, who won his race against Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan..

The contest between mayors, sheriffs and other public officials from Will and Grundy counties was the first of its kind and was part of the D’Arcy BuickGMC Route 66 Classic. The two sides drove GMC and Chevrolet trucks down the Joliet drag strip.

The white-haired Walsh, the Will County executive, took some ribbing from his fellow racers before the con-

test. But Walsh had the last laugh, commending state Rep. David Welter, who was Grundy County Board chairman until last month, for giving him a good race.

“I think experience held out, and that proved to be the best,” said Walsh, who hit a speed of 94.3 mph.

In other races in the Grudge Match: • Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland won his race against his Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow.

• Morris Fire Chief Tracey Steffes beat Joliet Fire Chief Joe Formhals.

• Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton bested Morris Police Chief Brent Dite.

• Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk won the last race, clinching the Will County team victory, against Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick.

Steffes in an interview before the race said, “My plan is to I’m going to drive it like I stole it.” Afterward, he said, he used a little more strategy, including pulling in the side mirrors to reduce wind friction.

O’Dekirk said his strategy was sim-

Racers named the charity of their choice.

“There’s going to be $6,000 going to charity,” said Terry D’Arcy, sponsor for the Route 66 Classic, “That’s the important thing.”

6 Evergreen Terrace takeover slowly proceeds

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet City Council last week approved a transfer of title at Evergreen Terrace and took other actions aimed at taking ownership of the housing complex in the coming months.

The current target date is October, said Mayor Bob O’Dekirk, who remains concerned about city ownership of the low-income housing complex.

“I think everyone would admit that with Evergreen Terrace we’re in uncharted waters,” said O’Dekirk, who has raised questions about the city takeover since he was a city councilman.

The title of Evergreen Terrace will not go to the city.

It will go to Riverwalk Homes, the public-private partnership created with an agreement approved by the council in May. The partnership was created with Holsten, a Chicago-based real estate development and management company that will manage Evergreen Terrace.

City Manager Jim Hock told the council last week that while the partnership between Joliet and Holsten is 50-50, the city has a controlling interest.

“The document spells out that the city is the controller of all decision-mak-

ing,” Hock said.

Having Holsten as a partner also was essential in getting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to eventually approve the city takeover, he said.

“HUD wanted to see an experienced development company that they had worked with previously,” Hock said.

Holsten oversaw the redevelopment of the Cabrini-Green housing complex in Chicago.

Evergreen Terrace has been privately owned, but rents are subsidized by HUD, which gives the federal agency oversight of the housing complex.

The city paid $15 million a year ago for Evergreen Terrace after winning a federal condemnation case. But the change in ownership has been held up

by HUD, which first wanted to see an appeal of the condemnation case decided. The city is now completing a HUD checklist of requirements to finalize the transfer.

The council last week also adopted resolutions providing for the future collection of rent through Riverwalk Homes and use of the income to pay off $11.4 million of the money Joliet has paid for Evergreen Terrace. The city will use $3.6 million in federal housing funds to cover the remainder of the $15 million.

Joliet water bills: They’re finally in the mail

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A city official said water bills are back on track after a twoweek delay because of the implementation of a new computer system.

Water bills have been late, leaving many of the city’s 45,000 customers wondering what happened.

“They’ve been a little delayed,” Joliet Finance Director James Ghedotte said Friday. “We got a new computer system, and it took a little while to learn how to use it.”

Implementation of the new system also affected credits due to customers, which Ghedotte said have been about a week behind schedule.

But John Iacobucci said he waited longer after overpaying by hundreds of dollars when he typed in an extra zero while paying his bill online. Iacobucci said he called the city, but “they had no record of my payment.”

“They didn’t even have my payment registered,” Iacobucci said. “Nobody could find my payment for 2½ weeks.”

Ghedotte said anyone who is owed money because of an overpayment should contact the city.

“We tend to send those out as soon as we’ve been advised about them. But

that has been delayed a week,” he said.

The city implemented the new system on July 25.

Ghedotte said he did not expect any problems with the September bills.

Meanwhile, the city has been waiving late fees because the billing has been late. The bills also are going out with a letter of explanation.

“We sent out a letter with them, saying these bills are new, and they should contact customer service if they have a problem,” Ghedotte said.

Many Joliet residents have been wondering where there bills are.

“I didn’t get anything in the mail,” said Ken Clymer of Joliet.

Clymer said he had not thought about it until he got a message from his bank alerting him that he had not yet paid the water bill, which he typically does electronically at the same time every month.

Clymer said he sent an email to the city and got a response the next day that the bills were late.

Not everyone gets billed at the same time. The city divides the 45,000 water bills into five zones and staggers the billing.

“We will be caught up early next week,” Ghedotte said. “We got through it, and we’ve got a brand-new computer system.”

Construction starts on cemetery intersection Police seek help in identifying bar attacker

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com

ELWOOD – Construction started Monday to improve the intersection of Route 53 and Hoff Road at the entrance of Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood.

The project is part of the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Chicago-to-St. Louis high-speed rail program, which IDOT stated in a news release will include improvements to 150 crossings along the route.

The railway runs along Route 53 and requires the addition of right- and left-turn lanes on southbound Route 53 at Hoff Road, as well as the installation of new traffic signals and drainage structure.

Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said improvements at the intersection have been talked about for “quite some time.” He said there have been a number of traffic crashes at or near the intersection, including one in which a woman and baby traveling in a car were hit as they exited the cemetery.

“I’m glad improvements are moving forward,” Hayes said. “We’ve had some horrific accidents at that intersection. This should improve safety for funeral processions and make it easier to get out of the cemetery without get-

Hayes reiterated statements made in February that he believes recent incidents when truckers have made a wrong turn and driven through the cemetery in attempts to get back on the right route have spotlighted the issue.

State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, and state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, have fought for improvements to Route 53. But the high-speed rail project is federally funded.

In order to complete the work, Hoff Road will be closed east of Route 53 until the winter months. Route 53 also will be reduced to one lane in each direction while construction is taking

place.

A posted detour will direct eastbound traffic on Hoff Road to go north on Route 53, east on Mississippi Avenue, and south on Chicago Street to meet back up with Hoff Road. Westbound traffic on Hoff Road will take the reverse route. Access to the cemetery will be maintained at all times.

“Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area,” the IDOT news release states. “Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.”

FRANKFORT – Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the man they say attacked a woman last month at the VFW Hall.

Deputy Police Chief Kevin Keegan said in a statement that the incident occurred about 7 p.m.

July 27 in the 22000 block of South Pfeiffer Road when the suspect approached her in a secluded area of the business, grabbed her, struck her and Provided photo threw her to the ground.

The man used a piece of broken glass to cause minor injuries before being startled and fleeing, Keegan wrote.

“There was a previous incident with the same offender on July 19. He was extremely intoxicated and being vulgar,” Keegan said in the statement. “[He] was asked to leave the bar. It is possible this attack was retaliation.”

The offender is described as a Hispanic man, around 6 feet tall with black hair and a black goatee. He was wearing blue jeans and a blue T-shirt.

Anyone with information is asked to call Frankfort police at 815-469-9435.

Police: Two men caught breaking into Joliet home

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police found two alleged burglars hiding in the basement of a Joliet home early Friday.

Police were called at 4:36 a.m. when an alarm notified the owners of a house in the 1200 block of Morgan Street who were not home at the time.

“Officers arrived to see the back window broken, and they could see movement inside the house,” Sgt. Dave Harris said.

Police set up a perimeter and announced for whoever was inside to come out. When those commands were

unheeded, officers went into the house with a canine unit, Harris said.

“They found two guys hiding in the basement with property [belonging to the homeowners] on Jawan Hall them,” Harris said.

Ahmad Parks, 20, of the 1200 block of Santa Fe in Romeoville, and Jawan Hall, 18, of the 200 block of Romayne Avenue in Joliet, were arrested on charges of residential burglary and Ahmad Parks vandalism.

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A janitorial company has filed suit, claiming the Rialto Square Theatre’s management owes money for cleaning services.

The operators of Unicare Building Maintenance on Tuesday sued the Will County Metropolitan Exposition & Auditorium Authority, claiming an outstanding balance of $23,383.10 has not been paid. The WCMEAA is identified in the suit as the corporation that owns the Rialto.

According to the suit, filed by attorney James Gately, Unicare provided

janitorial services from May 2010 until April 29 of this year.

Filed in court with the suit were monthly invoices for cleaning services for the first four months of 2016.

The Mokena-based company billed the theater $714.35 for monthly cleaning service for the first and second floors of 5 E. Van Buren St., $1,550 for “USF Space” and between $3,481 and $3,818 each month for 2 Rialto Square.

2 Rialto Square’s Suite 300 and 5 E. Van Buren’s Suite 214 were not part of the cleaning services provided, according to the invoices.

The suit is the latest in a series of financial problems facing the theater.

Most of the full-time administrative staff has been cut down to three-day work weeks this month to make payroll and positions that have gone vacant in recent months have not been filled.

The theater also is preparing to be taken over by an outside management company. Former General Manager Randy Green was given three months’ severance earlier this year. Green’s departure was prompted by the theater’s failure to pay payroll taxes for a few months, a situation that has since been corrected.

The suit is asking for judgment against the Rialto for the amount owed

and court costs.

Rialto attorney David Silverman said Friday that he had yet to see the lawsuit and declined to comment.

Interim general manager Jack Ericksen also had no comment on Unicare’s suit, but said the theater “continues to work closely with all our vendors and has every intention to satisfy all outstanding obligations.”

“In this industry, cash-flow problems are not unique to the Rialto and most of our vendors have been very understanding about that,” Ericksen said, adding the new partnership with outside management “will create a very stable financial future.”

Will County Public Safety Complex gets series of green lights

al Ratings assigned an AA+ and Moody’s Investor Services assigned an Aa1 rating to Will County’s $175 million bond issuance.

This bond issuance will help the county fund capital projects, either planned or proposed, in the coming years. This includes the $195 million Will County Judicial Complex, a northern satellite courthouse and new Will County Health Department

building.

Board member Robert Howard, D-Beecher, warned the public to be careful driving on country roads. Recently, he said, a University of Illinois agriculture student was killed in an accident in his district while driving on a foggy morning, surrounded by tall corn. He was hit by a truck.

“Be careful taking those shortcuts through the country,” Howard said.

JOLIET – The Will County Board on Thursday approved a series of measures that will allow construction on the new Will County Public Safety Complex to begin in mid-September.

The County Board approved a guaranteed maximum price of $29,606,029 with Leopardo Companies, the firm contracted to manage construction of the complex. There’s also a 2 percent contingency the board’s Executive Committee approved earlier this month added on top of that number, in case of any unforeseen costs.

In regards to labor associated with the project, the County Board approved a labor agreement with Three Rivers Construction Alliance, aimed at “true cooperation and commitment” among all parties, according to agenda documents.

Within that scope of work, the County Board also approved Thursday the awarding of the first bid package for work to be done on the complex, located on Laraway Road in Joliet. Most of the companies that were awarded contracts are based in Will County.

The bids awarded are asphalt pav-

ing and striping, P.T. Ferro (Joliet); Earthwork, Bisping Construction Co. (New Lenox); site electric, Elliot Electric (Coal City); site utilities, Austin Tyler Construction (Elwood); structural steel and miscellaneous metals, Midwestern Steel Fabricators (Hammond, Indiana); building and site concrete, Wagner Inc. (Lockport); landscaping and site furnishing, Allied Landscaping Corp. (Joliet).

Bid package two was released on Wednesday. A large number of bids are expected to come in. A third and final bid package will be released next month. The phased release allows for a fast-tracked construction process, Leopardo representatives have said.

In Finance Committee news, Chairman Mike Fricilone, R-Homer Glen, was excited to report that he watched the county’s bond sale a couple of weeks ago and was overwhelmed by the sales. He said the county’s bond issuance sold out in 45 minutes and had more than a half-billion dollars in potential orders.

“We were oversubscribed, which meant our paper was good and people wanted it,” Fricilone said. “We netted a premium.”

Massage parlor issue spurs sex-trafficking forum

By KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Residents’ concerns about massage parlors and alleged seedy practices spurred Minooka village officials to hold a forum on sex trafficking.

The community room at Minooka’s Village Hall was mostly full Thursday night with representatives from social media group Minooka Moms, concerned residents and parents, and local clergy.

Speakers included Tiffany Davison with the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office; Groundwork/Guardian Angel Home Sexual Assault Service Center preventionist Ashton Borden; Northern Illinois Women of the Evangelical Church’s social justice chairman Joan Soltwisch; Chris Baker, founder and ministry director of Ink 180, an organization that provides free tattoo removal to sex traffic victims and former gang members; village counsel Mike Stiff of Spesia & Ayers; Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer; and Village Administrator Dan Duffy.

Minooka Mayor Pat Brennan and Trustee Dick Parrish were also in attendance.

The purpose of the forum, Duffy

said, was to inform the public about the village’s limits in legal matters concerning massage parlors; what government agencies are able to do to take further action; and provide in-depth information about sex trafficking, its victims and the possibility of its existence in Minooka.

The problem was first brought to light about two years ago when residents complained about alleged prostitution at the BB Spa on Ridge Road and Mondamin Street, Duffy said.

While the village issues business registrations, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation has the authority to license and regulate massage therapy businesses. Other types of businesses, from bars to barber shops, are licensed by the village.

Minooka police can only ask to see the businesses’ license but don’t have the authority to go into locked rooms to see whether there are other employees and whether they hold licenses to perform massage.

“The state has exclusive jurisdiction,” Stiff said. “All we can do is register them and it doesn’t have a lot of teeth for violations.”

Minooka Police held an undercover investigation into BB Spa, Meyer said, but came up with nothing. They did

find a connection between a massage parlor shut down in Morris and BB Spa in Minooka – both had the same Chicago attorney.

Working with the state, Minooka police closed BB Spa on a technicality. But not long afterward Moon Spa opened in its place under a new license.

Officials sought the help of the property’s landlord and together put enough pressure on the business to close.

“We had to think outside the box to make things happen,” Duffy said.

Minooka has three businesses that offer massage therapy services, two of which have been deemed legitimate.

The third, Wa Spa, on Ridge Road, is being investigated.

Soltwisch, Baker and Borden talked extensively about human trafficking, which feeds businesses their employees, such as some massage parlors, certain nail salons and even hotel workers, Baker said.

Young women, particularly from Asia, are promised an education and a better life in the U.S., Baker said. When they arrive, their identification and passports are taken. They are required to “work off” their debt of coming to America, which never happens.

On any given day, more than 16,000 young girls and women are trafficked

in Chicago, Soltwisch said, mainly because of two major airports and accessibility to interstates.

Soltwisch called for the community to be victim-centered and understand that these women are victims. When one massage parlor is closed down, another opens in a nearby town with the same victims.

Human trafficking is becoming the nation’s No. 1 problem, over drugs and gangs, Baker said.

“It’s the biggest elephant in the room that no one wants to believe is in their community,” he said.

One parent commented that the audience was likely feeling depressed over the information they received.

Another said that while she feels compassion for the victims, the businesses are victimizing the community.

Many services are in place to help victims of sex trafficking, Borden said, but getting to them is not an easy task.

Duffy said he hopes to work closely with neighboring towns on the issue of the massage parlors. “[The forum] moved in a positive manner and that’s our goal, to make sure our community is safe,” Duffy said. “We need to make sure [the businesses] are legitimate and, if not, get them out of the community.”

FY17 Budget

During the overview of the fiscal 2017 budget, Lucchetti recommended that the district have a five-year forecast before moving ahead with the budget because of unknowns on revenues and expenses.

He said the district would have to know where it wants to allocate the surpluses it builds.

“It will also allow us to make sure that we do run a surplus going forward because if one of these variables changes on the revenue side, we can adjust for it,” Lucchetti said. “Plus, I think there’s some unknowns also on the expenditure side.”

JOLIET – Meet former Bear greats Steve “Mongo” McMichael and Glen “Koz” Kozlowski, former White Sox slugger Ron Kittle as well as several Joliet Area Sports Hall Of Famers during a “Sports Bash: A Celebration of Champions,” scheduled for September.

The event will be held Sept. 10 at the museum and will include the class of 2016 Joliet Area Sports HOF Induction Ceremony

LOCKPORT – The Fairmont District 89 board last week approved a new board vice president, along with three new staff positions.

Richard Myers, who became a new board member this year after the resignation of Robert Loewe, was approved by the board Wednesday to become the vice president, said Lela Bridges, who became the district’s new interim superintendent June 30.

That board position became vacant after Joseph Ryan resigned in late June. In late July, the board welcomed Louis Spoonhour as a new member after Ryan resigned.

New positions

The board also approved Brock Casey to become the dean and activities director for $49,999 with an additional stipend of $6,000; and Frank Edmond as the student resource supervisor at $15 an hour for 190 days and as a custodian for 70 days.

Bridges said the dean and activities director position is new for District 89 and was put in place to helping students outside of class. She also said the director will have a role in the district’s behavior modification program and helping students who are suspended.

“Our ultimate goal is to keep stu-

dents in school – in class – and we feel this position will help us to do that,” she said.

The student resource supervisor is the district’s version of the school resource officer previously provided by the Will County Sheriff’s Office, but they are not a police officer, Bridges said.

At the June 15 meeting, the teachers union raised concerns about losing the school resource officer, citing safety issues.

Bridges said the school resource supervisor will be responsible for greeting visitors, making sure they sign in and support staff.

The board also approved two custodians, six teachers and a resource teacher.

“We were able to recruit some fantastic new staff and we’re very, very pleased with that,” Bridges said.

Among the job descriptions approved by the board include the library media assistant. Bridges said District 89 has not had a librarian at its media center for several years.

The position would help teachers and students with research and obtaining books.

“We felt with this facility and giving our students as many opportunities as possible, we created this position under the library, but we’re saying media because it’s more than books,” she said.

NEW LENOX – It’s not clear how exactly Aunt Nancy’s Child Care will benefit in a controversial new agreement with Lincoln-Way District 210.

District spokeswoman Taryn Atwell directed questions Friday about Aunt Nancy’s revenue, enrollment numbers and past weekly day care fees to the business, which has come under fire by residents for operating rent-free for more than 20 years at the struggling school district.

Two attempts Friday to reach Nancy Power, listed by the state as an agent of Aunt Nancy’s, were unsuccessful. A person at the day care’s Central branch said: “She has absolutely no comment but thank you.”

Attempts to reach Power earlier this week were also unsuccessful. An email sent to Board President Dee Molinare and the board Friday afternoon was not immediately returned.

On Thursday, the board approved, 6-1, a new agreement that shows weekly day care fees of $252 for infants, $222 for toddlers, $208 for 2-year-olds and $188 for preschoolers.

According to the agreement, Aunt Nancy’s serves in order of priority: the children of district staff, children of district students and children of five feeder districts, Union District 81 and District 843. The fees in the agreement were slightly lower than what was pro-

posed in the draft agreement the board reviewed at the July 21 meeting.

But the sticking point for board member Christopher Lucchetti – and many vocal residents – was the annual remittance being $60,000 instead of $90,000 that the board on July 21 agreed to request Aunt Nancy’s to pay.

Lucchetti said he thought the $60,000 remittance was too low considering the business’s revenue. He said at Thursday’s meeting the $90,000 amount the board proposed before was going to be less than 10 percent of Aunt Nancy’s revenue.

Superintendent Scott Tingley said Friday that Lincoln-Way would not be losing any money under the new agreement and that it will be able to recoup expenses it made for the day care.

After graduating from West Charlotte High School, Jack enlisted in the Army, where he was in special service as a boxer.

Jack moved to Chicago after his time in the service. He became a jazz musician who idolized his tenor saxophone and played at every opportunity. Always a free spirit, Jack enjoyed life and will be missed by his friends and family.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers, Clifton, Murray, John and Jerome. He leaves to cherish his memories, brothers, Charles (Ethelene) of Charlotte, North Carolina, Thomas “Ralph” (Helen) of Joliet, Vernon (Mary) of Branchburg, New Jersey, and Danny of Wilmington, Delaware; sister, Shirley (Thomas) Lewis of Pennington, New Jersey; sister-in-law, Irlene McKenzie of Joliet; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Helen M. Nugent (nee Kuhn), age 92, of Manhattan, a time to be born and a time to die; God called on Aug. 18, 2016, at her appointed time.

Helen found the positive in all persons and things. She was a loving wife, wonderful mother and caring friend/ neighbor. Her devoted husband and high school sweetheart, Edward M Nugent, preceded her in

death in 2006. Helen and Ed were married on April 24, 1948.

She is survived by her loving children, Dale (Lois) Nugent, Jean (Bernard) Petak, Mary Lou Nugent and Rita (Bob) Herrick; her grandchildren, Chris (Marx) Drath, Jeff Petak, Gina Petak and Janelle Petak; a precious great-grandchild, Morgan Drath; a sister-in-law, Doris Kuhn; and a brother-in-law, Bill Reilly.

Affectionately called Aunt Helen, she is survived by several Kuhn and Nugent nieces and nephews. Aunt Helen always enjoyed hearing what the younger folks were doing.

Preceded in death by her parents, George and Margaret Kuhn (nee Murphy); brothers, Vernon (Bud) Kuhn and Robert (Bob) Kuhn; sister, Bernice Reilly; her parents-in-law, Michael and Elizabeth Nugent (nee Guildenzoph); brothersin-law, Gerald (Anna Marie) Russ, Earl (Margaret) Nugent and Ray (Kay) Nugent; sister-in-law, Margaret (Peg), (Don) Borchardt; and several nieces and nephews.

Helen was a proud graduate of Peotone Community High School, the Class of 1942. She was a long time member of St. Joseph’s Church, Manhattan, St. Joseph’s Council of Catholic Women and the Red Hat Society. Helen’s favorite job was working as a special education coordinator for the Southern Will County Cooperative. Helen always had a big heart, especially for the special needs children and less fortunate.

Words are inadequate to sum up the life of this wonderful woman and what she meant to us. The family wishes you to know that she served God and her church through her numerous activities with United Methodist Women. She was an avid bowler and loved animals. She was a simple woman whose life was governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment and common sense. She believed in right and wrong and taking responsibility for your actions. She was a lifelong friend to those lucky enough to know her. She was selfless and put the needs of the family before her own. She was totally devoted to all of her family and was there whenever she was needed. Dad summed it up simply by saying, “She is such a good person.”

She left this world quietly and without fanfare to be reunited with her husband, Robert.

She was met by her loving parents, Fred and Elizabeth Evans; and loving sister, Margaret.

Many of her lifelong friends and other family members rejoice in her homecoming, as do the animals she cared for.

She leaves to carry on her legacy her children, Richard (Nancy) Saxton of Huntley, and Sue Cattaneo and Barbara Saxton of Crest Hill. Her loving nature will never be forgotten by her sister, Betty Brosier of Rochester, Michigan; her grandchildren, Jessica Craven, Jenniffer Zapp, Dan Proctor, Eric (Holly) Saxton and Christina and William Cattaneo; her great-grandchildren, Fiona and Liam Hastings, Adam Craven and Trent Saxton; nephews, Dave Huster and Jeff Brosier; and her niece, Kimberley (Michael) Anderson.

Her family extends their thanks and gratitude to Dr. Liji Matthews, who provided excellent care of her, as well as to family friend, Angelica Hernandez, who assisted the family in her daily care. We thank the dedicated professionals of Provena In Home Health Services and to Joliet Area Community Hospice, who showed her compassion, respect and dignity on her final journey.

Diana M. Stonitsch (nee Jones) age 87. Peacefully, with her family by her side on Saturday, July 16, 2016. Born Feb. 13, 1929, in Oak Park, she was a proud and longtime resident of Joliet , and one of its greatest advocates and ardent supporters.

Survived by her loving daughters, Laura (William) Conrad of Scottsdale AZ, Mary (Russ) Augello of Park Ridge and Alice “Kiki” Schwartz of Chicago; she was “Nana” to three grandchildren, Sara (John) Masciandaro, Madeleine Schwartz and Matthew Augello; and two great-grandsons, Will and Henry Masciandaro.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gilbert J. Stonitsch; and their son, Gilbert J. Stonitsch Jr. in infancy.

Diana was an active member of St. Paul the Apostle Church, Joliet Junior Women’s Club, Visitation & Aid Society, St. Joseph Women’s Auxiliary, Joliet Area Community Television and other charitable/civic organizations, where she served in various leadership roles, including past president. Diana took great pleasure in meeting and interviewing “Special People.”

Faith, gratefulness, joyfulness and love were the hallmarks of Diana’s character.

Diana, in her earlier years, she absolutely loved to play golf not only with her husband, Gil, but with Lady Elks as well. Wednesdays at Al’s Steakhouse were not like any other day, as the “On the Spot” commentator for the Hansen Dress Shop of Manhattan, her critique and description was spot on, witty and entertaining for the fashion shows held there. You knew Diana was in the room, at a glance, by the many stylish and unique hats that would adorn her most days.

The most notable attribute about Diana Stonitsch was her love for people, and the human connection she made the minute you met. It was as if you had been friends for years, not just a few minutes. The last thought Diana would want to leave you with is life is meant

to be celebrated. She would want you to make the same human connection with those around you, as the love of the human spirit is fulfilling.

Her family would like to thank the special friends and medical professionals who have shared their care, support and prayers for her through the years.

A celebration of Diana Stonitsch’s life will be Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2016, at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, 18 Woodlawn Ave., Joliet, IL 60435, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Visitation will be at the church from 9:30 until time of services at 10 a.m. Interment will take place at a later date at St. John the Baptist Catholic Cemetery.

Without subsidy, some face higher insurance premiums The ASSOCIATED PRESS

After years of debating health care politics and policies, Americans remain divided over President Barack Obama’s 2010 health care overhaul.

The law, which was passed without a single Republican vote when Democrats still controlled both houses of Congress. What happens after Election Day 2016 could affect health insurance for nearly everyone.

With a household income too high for a federal subsidy, Bruce Mainzer and Beth Shadur are bracing for higher health insurance premiums in 2017.

As in other states, many insurers in Illinois have requested double-digit rate increases. Americans ineligible for the government subsidies that help cover their premiums will be hit hardest.

The suburban Chicago couple buys coverage through HealthCare.gov, the federal insurance exchange set up under President Barack Obama’s health overhaul. Mainzer is a consultant in the travel industry, while his wife, Shadur, is an artist and part-time gallery director at a college.

As with many who are self-employed, their combined income can vary a lot, ranging from $65,000 to $100,000 a year. And under the health care law, there is no subsidy for in-

Chicago police arrest dozens of street gang members in raids

CHICAGO – Chicago police said they have arrested dozens of people on drug charges, including more than 60 known gang members.

In a news release Friday, the department said the arrests were made Thursday and Friday in areas all over the city that have been identified as locations of drug dealing and gang activity. The department said the raids targeted 15 street gangs in the city.

Chicago police have been trying to drive down the surging number of homicides and other

dividuals making more than $47,520 a year or families of four earning at least $97,200.

Mainzer and Shadur are among the millions of Americans who buy their own insurance without a tax credit to help defray the cost.

Health insurance already takes a hefty bite out of the couple’s budget. They pay $1,200 a month for a “bronze” plan with high deductibles, which means they pay $13,000 annually out of pocket before their coverage even kicks in.

$10,000 reward in shooting of Chicago officer’s son

CHICAGO – A $10,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the person responsible for killing the 19-year-old son of a Chicago police officer.

Arshell Dennis III was gunned down Aug. 14 as he stood on the front porch of the family home. Dennis was a junior studying journalism at St. John’s University in New York.

The reward was initiated by the Rev. Michael Pfleger. The

causes us to dip into our retirement savings and increase our debts,” Mainzer said.

On top of the cost, they’ve experienced the hassles of major disruptions in the Illinois insurance market. For one, their insurance company recently folded. It was one of the struggling co-ops set up under the federal health care law.

They are switching to Aetna in October but will start shopping again for another insurer a month later because Aetna recently said it is bailing out of the Illinois exchange-based market-

Roman Catholic priest said Friday that he’s “begging” for somebody to turn in the person who killed Dennis.

Dennis was shot in the chest and died at a hospital. A 20-year-old who was with him was shot in the arm and chest and hospitalized in serious condition.

The victim’s father, Arshell “Chico” Dennis, is a longtime Chicago police officer and patrolled with Superintendent Eddie Johnson.

Illinois no longer will call children ‘wards’ of state

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed an executive order banning the state from calling children under its care wards, and instead instructing that they be called “youth in care.”

Rauner signed the order

place.

“I’m looking forward to being on Medicare starting in June,” Mainzer, 64, said of the government-run health insurance program for those 65 and older. “I’ll be out of this whole crazy mess. But my wife will still be on it for a while.”

For her part, Shadur, 62, hopes the health law’s early problems ease.

“As the years go on, as long as Republicans don’t take it away, it will settle into a smoother process,” she said.

They are in good health, but Mainzer has a blood disorder, a pre-existing condition that led insurers to reject him before the Affordable Care Act took effect. He was able to get coverage only through Illinois’ highrisk pool, at about the same price he pays today.

Mainzer rejects the “repeal and replace” Republican solution, in part because getting rid of the law would mean that insurance companies could go back to denying coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.

“Ultimately, it’s clear that health care is not something that can be efficiently provided by the private sector,” he said. “The rest of the Western world has figured out that health care is a right and is intrinsically a government, public-sector activity.”

Friday afternoon at the Illinois State Fair. It said the change is necessary because referring to foster children as wards makes them “feel they are part of a bureaucracy instead of a family.” It states that the way children are treated and labeled “has a substantial effect on their self-confidence and their trust in those they rely on.”

Rauner’s order calls the term “ward” outdated and said it will be used going forward only in situations required under Illinois law. The order said the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services should instead use terms that show “respect and encouragement.”

Rauner vetoes plan to reopen Hardin County prison camp

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner has vetoed legislation

that would require the reopening of the Hardin County Work Camp in far southern Illinois.

Rauner’s veto message Friday said the camp for low-risk prison inmates closed in January because of a fire but that repair costs were too high.

The House and Senate both approved legislation to reopen the camp in Cave-in-Rock.

Advocates said it provided jobs for the area and work-skills programs for inmates.

Rauner said he appreciates the impact on the economy and the loss of jobs caused.

But the Republican said requiring it to be reopened would be an unnecessary expenditure.

Rauner said he agrees with the role that work camps play in rehabilitation, but he said the facility is “dilapidated.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Turkey officials: 30 killed, United is watching the demand 94 hurt in wedding blast for flights and will respond

ANKARA, Turkey – A bomb attack targeting an outdoor wedding party in southeastern Turkey on Saturday killed at least 30 people and wounded 94 others, authorities said.

Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said the “barbaric” attack in the city of Gaziantep, near the border with Syria, appeared to be a suicide bombing.

Other officials said it could have been the carried out by either Kurdish militants or Islamic State extremists.

Turkey has been rocked by a wave of attacks in the past year that have either been claimed by Kurdish militants linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party – known by its acronym PKK – or were blamed on IS. In June, suspected IS militants attacked Istanbul’s main airport with guns and bombs, killing 44 people.

Most U.S.-Mexico flight limits about to end

DALLAS – Most restrictions on flights between the U.S. and Mexico will be lifted Sunday, a change expected to bring more options and possibly lower prices for travelers.

American, Delta and Southwest already have announced that they will offer new flights across the border later this year.

Scorched cars and trailers burned by a wildfire line a residential street Friday in Phelan, Calif.

More people returned to their homes as firefighters gained the upper hand against the huge wildfire burning in Southern California’s San Bernardino National Forest.

accordingly, a spokesman said.

The U.S. and Mexico agreed in December to open their aviation markets to each other’s carriers.

Rules that limited two or three airlines from each country to a particular route will go away.

Airlines on both sides of the border will be able to fly whatever routes they want as often as they want and set their own prices, U.S. officials said.

NYC eliminates English test for yellow cab drivers NEW YORK – New York City taxi drivers no longer will have to pass an English test under new rules designed to make it easier for immigrants to get behind the wheel of a yellow cab.

The test for a taxi license will be available in several languages under regulations that went into effect Friday.

The change was approved by the City Council in April.

The New York Times reported that city officials sought parity with app-based ride services such as Uber, which don’t require an English test.

The city’s taxi drivers have been overwhelmingly foreign-born for decades. City officials said just 4 percent of current drivers were born in the U.S.

Homes burned by Calif. fire; teams look for more damage

By CHRISTOPHER WEBER and CHRISTINE ARMARIO The Associated Press

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – In the aftermath of a wildfire, somebody has to figure out exactly what burned. It’s painstaking and important work that helps evacuated residents know whether they lost everything or have something waiting for them when they return home.

Officials estimate that at least 105 residences and 213 outbuildings have been destroyed in the massive fire that burned ferociously through Southern California mountain communities this past week and still was smoldering Saturday.

Those numbers could rise as damage assessment teams pore through the aftermath of the blaze about 60 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, said Fire Marshal Mike Horton of the San Bernardino County Fire Department. Drought conditions in California have left plenty of fuel for wildfires.

The fire sparked Tuesday was 68 percent contained, officials said, and firefighters who were on the offensive for days finally were transitioning to the mop-up phase.

Operating from a mobile command center just south of the 58-square-mile blaze, Horton leads a team of 15 investigators, technicians, hazardous materials experts and others responsible for determining the extent and nature of the damages.

“We come in right on the heels of the fire,” Horton said. “Once it’s cool enough, we go parcel-by-parcel.”

Often, properties are so decimated that it’s difficult to know whether a smoking ash heap was a home, a trailer or a water tank, he said.

Technicians consult mobile computer applications that can download geographic data and county assessors’ information to learn what might have been there before flames

swept through. Numerous photos are taken, and each “gets its own narrative” of what the team saw, Horton said.

Some evacuations remained in place, but the majority of those ordered out were allowed to return Friday, when crews made huge gains against the blaze, fire spokesman Brad Pitassi said.

“Things are extremely positive,” Pitassi said, adding that officials expected more progress and more residents returning home throughout the weekend. At the height of the fire, some 82,000 people were under evacuation orders.

Even before they go back, anxious residents sometimes can get a sense of what awaits them, thanks to reports filed swiftly by the damage assessment team. The goal is to compile the data even before the fire is fully extinguished and make them available online, via phone recordings and on postings at evacuation centers.

Maps are color-coded with red areas signifying “complete damage,” orange describing damage between 40 percent and 75 percent, yellow showing damage of less than 40 percent and green meaning no damage.

“Green, you’re in good shape,” Horton said Friday. “Any other color, and you should be concerned.”

Johanna Santore was among those left homeless. She was running an errand Tuesday when the fire charged through her neighborhood. She tried to rush home to rescue the family’s four dogs, six cats and hamster, but was blocked by closed roads.

A group of animal rescue volunteers found the house in smoldering ruins – with no signs of the pets.

“I’m actually feeling numb,” said Santore, who fled with her husband and granddaughter to an evacuation center. “It’s like a nightmare.”

“It takes about a minute to come in and less than a minute to go out,” Bob Zelinski, director of intermodal operations, told the group at Union Pacific’s Joliet Intermodal Yard as he described the automated gate system.

Truck drivers pass through the system with their driver’s licenses and fingerprints being read.

“If you want to steal a box out of here, you have look like the guy on the driver’s license and cut off one of his fingers,” Zelinski said. “Security is pretty good around here.”

The Joliet Intermodal Yard is Union Pacific’s biggest intermodal operation in the Chicago region, said Adrian Guerrero, director of public affairs.

The facility handles more than 490,000 lifts – a container going on or off a railroad car – a year, he said.

The entire Chicago region is a rail and intermodal hub, Guerrero said, with 25 percent of all U.S. rail traffic and 46 percent of the nation’s intermodal containers going through the area, he said.

The Joliet Intermodal Yard has room to grow, Guerrero said. It opened in 2010, and 550 acres are developed, with an additional 400 acres available to expand operations.

BNSF expansion

Logistics Park Chicago, the BNSF facility in Elwood, is even busier.

BNSF does 1 million lifts a year at its 680-acre facility in Elwood and is in the process of equipping itself to expand to 1.5 million, said Andy Williams, director of public affairs.

BNSF is adding six wide-span cranes, which will allow the facility to handle more cargo than it does now with conventional stacking cranes.

“Most of our containers brought to us here have consumer products,” Williams told the group. “One of our biggest customers is Wal-Mart, which is just up the street.”

Wal-Mart has a sprawling distribution center in CenterPoint Intermodal Center-Elwood.

Logistics Park Chicago has eight outgates and 16 in-gates, also equipped with automated technology.

“I challenge you to find a facility with that many in-gates,” Williams said.

“We take pride in that it takes a minute and a half on average to get through that in-gate.”

Highways and Pace buses

While the intermodal yards may be operating efficiently, the message from local officials to those on the bus tour is that things are not moving so smoothly on the outside.

Widening Interstate 80 and modernizing the interchanges, especially at Route 53, are two major priorities, said John Greuling, chief executive officer at the Will County Center for Economic Development.

The landscape and local economy were very different from when I-80 was first built through the region, Greuling told the group as the bus rolled down Route 53.

“I-80 was a rural interstate, and the interchanges were designed for rural traffic, not the tens of thousands of tractor-trailers that go through the intermodal yards on a daily basis,” Greuling said.

The intermodal yards also were built in once-rural areas.

Now, Pace has two bus routes to bring workers from Joliet to the intermodal yards and surrounding industrial parks.

“We do have additional plans to add new routes, though not only for Joliet,” Pace associate planner Ezekial Guza said to the tour group.

Pace is considering an express route that would connect the industrial development in Joliet and Elwood with other regions of the metropolitan area. At the same time, it is looking at another local route to serve the future Mars candy distribution center, which will include 700 employees and a 350,000-square-foot chocolate cooler when it opens.

The impact of it all was not lost on the visitors on the bus.

Stephen Ostrander, also a senior planner with CMAP, said he has been on Route 53 in Joliet when it was lined with trucks, so he knows the road is not always as open as it was Wednesday.

Seeing the intermodal yards up close “was a very good experience for us” and will be useful in long-term planning, Ostrander said.

“I think it’s helpful for people in other areas to see the amazing things that are happening here,” he said. “People hear about it. But for anybody their first time here, it’s pretty amazing.”

Dear Mr. Berko: I’ve been a member of an eight-person investment club for 11 years that meets once a month.

We get into some spirited discussions and have a portfolio of 17 stocks worth almost $210,000 and our portfolio has a cost basis of $143,000. Our biggest gainer was 150 shares of CF Industries that you recommended in December 2006 at $26, that we sold at $301 in March 2015. Now I’m tasked with researching a company named 2U that provides online courses to colleges and universities. Please give me your thoughts on 2U. – WT: Detroit, Michigan Dear WT: I like investment clubs.

Clubs, like yours, are a wonderful way to learn about the market in a warm, companionable atmosphere of good friends.

2U (TWOU-$35) sells cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) to colleges. 2U’s SaaS platform solutions provide online campuses and webbased mobile applications that enable colleges to offer online courses in algebra, psychology, sociology, English, history, literature, physics, etc.

2U’s brilliant platform serves as a data hub for scheduling courses, course enrollment and faculty admissions review while automating the admissions and online application processes for prospective students.

It also encourages colleges to create sterile, cheaper, digital versions of themselves. The aggressive growth of online education signals the demise of traditional professor-led courses and green, leafy university campuses with weathered, old brick buildings. The online concept acknowledges a dumbing down of the learning process and simplifies course content so students, whose high schools failed to prepare them for college, can get a diploma.

It’s obvious that traditional college courses are now too difficult for most American students. So considering the huge numbers of students who lack the skills to earn a diploma, online courses provide equal outcomes for Americans whose aptitudes preclude them from earning degrees at traditional colleges.

Online learning vs traditional learning is creating a two-tiered system – degrees for those who can and those who can’t. By lowering learning requirements, 2U allows colleges to maintain huge enrollments and meet federal guideline graduation numbers to keep the largess flowing through $1.6 trillion in student loans. Today,

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko everybody can get a BS, MBA or Ph.D. online. Online education offers Americans easy diplomas, which pleases voters and Congress. And analysts at Reuters, Credit Suisse, Oppenheimer and Goldman Sachs are also pleased.

Higher graduation rates made possible by 2U’s platform encourages Congress to increase student loan funding, enabling colleges to purchase more 2U’s software. And that’s why five of Wall Street’s finest have a “Strong Buy” recommendation with a median target price of $37 and a high target price of $46 in the next 12 months, which I think is ridiculous. But if colleges become free, online courses will explode and so will TWOU. 2U hasn’t earned a centime since it opened for business in 2008 and won’t be profitable this year or in 2017. Goldman Sachs and Oppenheimer took 2U public in March 2015, selling 9,175,000 shares at $13. It was an unexciting IPO. During the first week, 2U traded below its IPO price before gaining traction and rising to $39 six months later. This Landover, Maryland, company has 1,026 employees, zero debt, a float of 32 million shares and an absurd market cap of $1.6 billion! In 2015, 2U posted $150 million in revenues and lost 63-cents a share. This year, the Street expects 2U to lose 34-cents a share on revenues of $200 million and in 2017 revenues might reach $264 million but 2U will lose money again.

Unlike colleges in Europe or Asia that have rigid admissions requirements, a college diploma is now an American entitlement. Therefore 2U represents the future of public colleges in the U.S. where policies support quantity over quality. While I have unkind feelings about online education, I recognize 2U’s enormous growth potential and many believe TWOU could trade much higher.

However, I have significant reservations about the qualifications of our next generation’s physicians, lawyers, engineers, veterinarians and other professionals.

Community foundation taps former YMCA leader as CEO

PUNTA GORDA, FLORIDA – The Charlotte Community Foundation announced recently that Tami Sender will join the organization as chief executive officer, effective Oct. 3. Sender, 54, has a notable 30-year track record in the nonprofit arena.

During her nine-year tenure as the president and CEO of the Greater Joliet Area YMCA, Sender led two successful capital campaigns raising $11.3 million and oversaw construction of a 78,000-square-foot facility, among other key accomplishments, according to a news release from the foundation.

She also served as director of development for a parks foundation where she oversaw a $1.7 million capital campaign and secured more than $365,000 in key grant funding.

A graduate of Millikin University, Sender has been a Punta Gorda Isles resident since 2013.

In partnership with the board, Sender will have responsibility for strategic planning and execution, organizational governance and financial oversight. She also will direct asset development, funds management, donor relations, community outreach and linkages with other philanthropic groups.

OUR VIEW

Win for open government Public records are public, even if they are stored in private locations such as a home email server or personal smart phone.

Illinois is closer to that last statement being reality after two recent decisions by top elected officials in the state.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan earlier this month ruled in a binding opinion that Chicago police officers’ emails regarding the October 2014 fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald are a matter of public record even though they were transmitted from personal email accounts.

Madigan’s decision follows Lisa Madigan a ruling by a Cook County Circuit Court that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s emails about public business aren’t exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests even though they were sent on private devices.

Both rulings can be appealed, but they are healthy steps toward better government transparency in Illinois.

Consider if the alternative were true.

Public officials or servants could pick and choose what information they wanted the public to have access to – and, conversely, not have access to – simply by choosing the method and/or device in which they stored and sent information.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton improperly used a private messaging system and server to send and store tens of thousands of official emails while she served as U.S. Secretary of State. An FBI investigation determined that several of the emails contained top secret information and hundreds more contained “secret” or “classified” information.

For obvious reasons, top secret and classified information is exempt from public disclosure. But does anyone think Clinton should have been able to hide the thousands of other emails from the public simply because she used private devices?

Too often, too many public officials think that the public has no right to know what they’re up to. That’s simply not the case.

These recent decisions should help to improve transparency at both the local and the state levels in Illinois.

As Illinois Press Association attorney Don Craven told The Associated Press for a story about Madigan’s decision, “We are a long way toward good news.”

Saving the planet

To the Editor: Let’s face the facts; no matter how much we have screwed up this planet, it will be here for another few billion years. We won’t be. The rate we are polluting our environment, humanity will go the way of the dinosaurs.

Mass extinctions have occurred in the past. Except for the one that got the dinosaurs, they all took tens of thousands of years. We may have caused one that will only take a couple of hundred years. Too bad we hadn’t figured out how to live with the environment instead of against it.

Stupidity seems to be in the human DNA since we left Africa.

‘Drug habit’ getting out of hand ... literally I think my drug habit is starting to get out of hand.

I say that because I literally can no longer hold the 20-odd prescription pills and supplements I take every day in one hand. Each morning I choke down folbic (it’s like Vitamin B on steroids), acyclovir to prevent chemo-induced shingles, sulfamethoxazole to prevent pneumonia, pantoprazole to prevent acid reflux, metformin to keep my blood sugar in check, iron to boost my lagging red blood cell count, and a probiotic to help digest all the pills I’m swallowing.

For lunch, I take 5,000 milligrams of Vitamin D and a dose of turmeric, the Asian spice that powers curry and kills cancer cells. I top that off with a wad of oil capsules – garlic, fish and oregano – that sound like an entrée at Olive Garden. For dinner, it’s resveratrol, an anti-oxidant concocted from grape seed and red wine extracts, mushroom complex, an anti-carcinogen, milk thistle to promote liver function, CoQ10, Vitamin C and another probiotic. Before bed I pop another fish oil capsule, chelated magnesium for sleep, an anti-oxidant alpha lipoic acid, inositol, acetyl-L-carnitine, a low-dose aspirin and another Metformin.

I keep all my pills for the week in a gigantic 24-compartment tray.

All that is, except for one. That pill stays in its original bottle, up on a shelf, out of harm’s way. My final pill is called lenalidomide. It’s a chemotherapy pill I take every night for two weeks,

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus followed by a week off. It can be nasty stuff if you’re not careful.

Lenalidomide is a derivative of thalidomide, a drug created in 1957. It originally was sold as an over-the-counter treatment for morning sickness. That was before they discovered its side effect: women taking the drug gave birth to babies with horribly stunted extremities. If you’re old enough to remember the term “flipper babies,” then you’ve probably heard of thalidomide. It was banned in 1962.

But while it turned out to be terrible choice for a sedative, it turns out that thalidomide is a miracle drug for people with multiple myeloma, or blood marrow cancer. Not so many years ago a multiple myeloma diagnosis was a virtual death sentence. Median survival rate was just two to three years. But with lenalidomide, my doctor tells me, many myeloma patients are now living cancer-free “10 years or longer.” They don’t really have a handle on the “or longer” part yet since the drug wasn’t approved until 2004.

At this point all I really know is that I have to choke down a green and white capsule every night if I want to stay in remission.

But popping lenalidomide comes at a

cost. When I first got on it in 2014, they had me on the highest dose possible, along with my regular weekly intravenous chemo. I couldn’t handle it. I ended up with chronic bronchial infections and dropped 25 pounds in the space of a month.

Now I take a lower dose, two weeks on, one week off.

Because this stuff is powerful. It trashes your white and red blood cell counts. Fatigue and muscle cramps are another issue, as well as skin rash.

It has a potential to cause blood clots.

Also it sometimes causes cancer.

And there’s still the risk of severe birth defects, so you’re absolutely forbidden from having unprotected sex with any woman of child-bearing age (This is actually less of a problem since I’m in my late 50s. And married. And kind of ugly.)

Every two weeks I talk to a pharmacist who goes over all the side effects and makes me pledge not to have unprotected sex. Sort of like being in AA. Every four weeks I see a doctor who takes a battery of blood and urine tests.

Sort of like being checked for DUI. Oh, and then there’s the actual cost.

Lenalidomide is kind of expensive. It runs $558.46. And by that, I don’t mean $558.46 a month. I don’t mean $558.46 a bottle. I mean: $558.46.

A. Pill.

That’s $11,727.66 a month. Or

$140,731.92 a year. I’m guessing its key ingredients must be gold dust and mermaid tears. Fortunately, thanks to the miracle of health insurance, my cost is only $25 a month. Actually not even that since the manufacturer covers my out-of-pocket.

Yep, as long as I have insurance, I’m sitting on easy street. Yep …

So right now I feel like the Nazi villain from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” You know, the guy who drinks from the wrong chalice and withers away into dust and bones. The guy about whom the Grail Knight says “He chose poorly.”

I just learned my chosen insurance carrier, Land of Lincoln Health, is going out of business in September.

Come Oct. 1, I have two options: Get on a new plan or win the lottery. That means going back into the marketplace and finding a plan that 1. accepts all my doctors and 2. is willing to pay for expensive cancer treatments.

I’m pretty sure that part’s doable.

What I’m not looking forward to is paying the $3,500 or more deductible and out-of-pocket for 2016 all over again in October, and then again in January 2017. And maybe again in March if I end up on Medicare.

Wish they had a pill for that.

Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, which in its time did bring about much needed change. “‘Black lives matter’ has become a rallying cry for a new chapter in the long black freedom struggle.” (www.blacklivesmatter.org) Congressman John Lewis recognizes BLM as carrying on the work of Lewis’ generation.

The writer demonizes BLM for identifying with “the black liberation” movement.

Black Lives Matter is one of many movements in the struggles, throughout history, for black liberation. “Black liberation” has never been one organization or movement.

While some “movement” people have espoused violence, and (heaven forbid!) leftist ideology, we need to learn to know our present-day movements and support them when they speak truth to power.

Black Lives Matter is the foremost movement of our time. More than 1,030 protest actions have been held since August 2014.

A diversity of new leaders is coming up. A new consciousness is bringing hope.

To the Editor: A Letter to the Editor, “Black Lives Matter, concept vs. organization,” caught my eye because of personal interests, and because I am a member of a small group at church (Unitarian Universalist) whose purpose is to learn more about supporting racial justice.

Some statistics about police killings and generalizations made about the Black Lives Matter movement demand a response.

The writer referred to a 2015 Washington Post study showing that “an unarmed black is less likely to be killed by police than an unarmed white,” as reported by the National Review July 12. While it is true that the numbers in the study were similar, when adjusted for population, black Americans were 5 times more likely than whites to be shot and killed by police.

The writer also criticized Black Lives Dorothy Brown Brumbaugh Joliet Matter for not looking like the idealized

Do you like Hillary Clinton?

To the Editor: Do you like Hillary Clinton?

That’s the question I have asked many people. The responses I get are either “yes” or “no.” It seems there is little or no middle-ground when it comes to feelings about our Democratic presidential nominee. Why do some people dislike Hillary Clinton? So I asked that question and their responses are usually: “because she’s a liar.” I find this subject especially interesting so I would like to offer my opinion on why these people may feel this way.

For many years, the extreme right-wing Republicans have attempted to destroy the reputation of Hillary Clinton for fear she may someday become the president. Still, to this day, the headlines are filled with more rhetoric about Benghazi.

Since that event, she has endured nine investigations and inquiries that included countless hours of interrogation. Also in the headlines we read more scandalous nonsense about her email – a mistake she has already apologized for even though

no national security issues were ever breached.

But still the Republican rhetoric continues. So I simply tell to those who have an unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton: “If you feel she is ‘lying,’ you’re either admitting the Republicans you sent to Washington have failed; or, you, yourself hold some secret information that was never unveiled in any of the many investigations Hillary has had to endure.”

In this country, you’re innocent until proven guilty. Yet, with no substance at all, the Republican propaganda machine has succeeded in swaying some opinions about Hillary Clinton.

The truth is Hillary Clinton is our best hope to pull this nation together and to continue the remarkable job started by Barack Obama. The alternative, Donald Trump, will plunge us so far into the dark ages, we may never see the light of day again.

Providence, Roat capture Lemont Invite titles

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Although the golf season is just one week old, there are already plenty of encouraging signs for some area boys squads and individuals.

That was clearly demonstrated on Friday when a number of the area’s best players met in the 15-team Lemont Invite, which was held at Broken Arrow Golf Club.

Providence Catholic, led by repeat champion Tyler Roat, had four players among the top eight to finish with a 298 total as it captured its fourth-straight title in the event, while Minooka claimed second place after posting a 310 score.

Roat, a junior, fired a three-under par 69 to win the event by four strokes over Minooka’s Dan Anfield, who finished with a one-over 73.

Minooka’s Brandon Brodzinski (74) beat out Providence’s Ricky Costello (74) for third place on a tie-breaker, while Plainfield Central’s Jake Hawkins was fifth after shooting a 75.

Joliet Catholic Academy’s Jake Pluth (77) edged Providence’s Gino Sanfilippo (77) for seventh place, while Providence’s Mike Cascino (78) claimed ninth place.

Others who just missed making the top-10 were Minooka’s Nolan King (78), Plainfield North’s Nate Kirberg (78), Providence’s Zach Bilotta (79), Plainfield South’s Parker Govern (79), Lemont’s Jack Kramer (79) and Raymond Sullivan (80) and JCA’s Bryce Kurtz (80).

Coach John Platt’s Celtics return five players from last year’s state-qualifying squad, while seniors Cascino and Costello also played on a 2014 state squad. Costello, who also was an individual qualifier in 2013, has placed in the top six at state the past two seasons.

Providence, which has made five state trips in the last seven years under Platt, looks like it might have another squad that can get back there after defeating four-time defending state champion Hinsdale Central by two strokes at Wednesday’s Addison Trail Invite, where Roat also earned medalist honors.

“Obviously Tyler played good today,” Platt said. “He shot two-under in the tournament on Wednesday. And then today, of course, I liked the 69 and 74. We also had a 77, 78 and 79, but two of those kids were eight over on their last four holes. Any time that you break 300 is great, but I’m going to talk to the kids and tell them that they have to play all 18 holes.

“I’ve always had great kids here but these kids have worked ever since we got done last year. Everyone in the

And they’re all good students, too, and are just fun to be around, which is what’s cool about it.”

Roat is encouraged about what the Celtics might be able to accomplish this season.

“Beating Hinsdale was a big deal,” Roat said. “Getting two wins in a week is big for us. We’re really looking forward to getting back to state. In the offseason we were at it every day; there were no off days. This is going to be a

special year for us since we have a really solid lineup with people who can shoot in the 70s consistently.”

Minooka compiled a 225 total, courtesy of its top three scores, but was unable to come up with another effort in that range. Getting four good scorecards on a consistent basis will be a key for coach Brian Petrovic’s squad this season.

“This was our first 18-hole event for the year, so I’m happy with a 310,” Petrovic said. “Dan and Brandon are

veteran players who play a lot of serious tournament golf in the offseason, so their scores are kind of what’s expected from them.

“But the thing that I’m probably the most happy about was Nolan, who stepped up in his first-ever varsity event by shooting a 78. He’s been struggling a little bit and we worked on some things with his swing a little bit and he was really hitting the ball nice. What hurt us was the fourth score. The boys know that we need to be 80 and better.”

Anfield, a senior who qualified for a state trip a year ago, is upbeat about the chances this fall for the Indians, who took fourth place last season at the sectional.

“Brandon and I are focused on going as low as we can go and then have our three and four try to give us a couple of 80s,” Anfield said. “Nolan was our No. 1 JV player. Leading up to this, he had a couple of shaky rounds and his back was hurt, but today was definitely a really good day for him.

“Our big focus this year is going into conference, regionals and sectionals, to keep shooting the scores that we usually shoot since that’s been a problem the last couple of years.”

JCA’s Pluth was a state qualifier in Class 2A last season, while coach Mark Hollatz’s Lemont team will be seeking its third straight state trip and its eighth appearance in 10 years.

THREE PERCENTAGE INCREASE

The trio of pin hitters arguably will be the best not only in the area, but possibly the state. All three can intimidate opponents. They have already committed to successful programs. Papesh will attend Dayton, while Perinar will go to Tennessee and Bonde to Kansas.

Worse for opponents, all three are only juniors.

“Rocky, Holly and I have played together in club for four, five years now,” Papesh said. “We know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and in practice we work on helping each other improve our weaknesses. That will just help us improve as not only individuals, but as a team.”

“The experience that all three of them had on varsity as sophomores [on varsity] have tremendously improved their confidence and leadership,” coach Carrie Prosek said. “Offensively they are three of the best hitters in the area, if not, state. However, our entire team’s focus and goal is defense and team unity.”

Minooka’s Rocky Perinar goes up for the block during a match last season.

2015 record: 28-11 (regional champions) Key returners: Brooklyn Bachmann (Sr., S, 5-9); Taylor Baranski (Jr., DS/Libero, 5-6); Holly Bonde (Jr., RH, 6-2); Kamryn Johnson (Sr., RH, 5-10); Alli Papesh (Jr., OH, 6-1); Rocky Perinar (Jr., OH, 6-0) Key additions: Kate Barker (Jr., MH, 5-9); Sammantha Hermann (Jr., MH, 5-10) Olivia Klank (Jr., MH, 5-8) Key graduation losses: Emily Hise, Ginger Perinar Coach Carrie Prosek: “We are building off a great finish from end of last season with four returning starters. With the experience that we have from last year, we will come in more confident and working hard on our defensive game. We will have three strong middles fighting for the middle spot who will all push each other. Our setter (Bachmann) is a leader on the court and probably the best overall athlete in the area. She will hold the team together. We have great leadership from all four seniors, our entire team really has a great bond on the court and off, and everyone knows and accepts their roles, which will really help building success throughout the season. It is a whole team effort.”

MINOOKA – Imagine walking to a court during most volleyball players’ favorite part of warmups, hitting lines, and right away it is evident that three girls are going to put on a show.

The first explodes up and crushes the ball crosscourt. The second swings sharp left front where most teams don’t defend. The third bounces the ball line.

Two of the three then deflate the ball from the middle, then hit equally as hard from the right side.

Other teams might doubt their hitting abilities when they watch a Minooka warmup this year. That’s because the trio of Allie Papesh, Holly Bonde and Rocky Perinar will lead the Indians, who have received preseason accolades as No. 2 in the state and No. 26 in the nation by PrepVolleyball.com.

“We have higher goals than ever this year because we have such a talented group,” Bonde said. “Right now we’re ranked second in the state. We want to obtain that, but our main goal is to make it down to state.”

To get to state, the Indians already have set the goal of focusing small and improving their skill as a team by 1 percent every time they step on the court.

They already have added a large percentage from last year’s team, which made the Class 4A Sweet Sixteen.

Ninkovich sidelined; Fleener could be hot No Tom Brady.

No Rob Ninkovich.

Were those really the New England Patriots who edged the Bears, 23-22, in Thursday night’s preseason game?

Ninkovich, who played at Lincoln-Way Central, Joliet Junior College and Purdue before beating the odds and creating an NFL career for himself, has started all 80 regular-season games for New England over the past five seasons. He owns the third-longest streak of consecutive games played (102) among NFL defensive ends.

Those streaks will end now, however. Ninkovich suffered torn triceps in a scrimmage Aug. 9 against New Orleans. The tendon is not torn, however, so Ninkovich reportedly has opted to rehab the injury rather than have surgery. The 11-year veteran is hoping to return sometime in October.

The Patriots certainly would love to see it. Ninkovich is one of three players – Pro Bowlers J.J. Watt and Calais Campbell are the others – with at least 40 sacks and 350 tackles since 2010, according to NFL research.

Also with the Patriots, Clay Harbor (Dwight), who previously was with Philadelphia and Jacksonville, signed as a free agent in the offsea-

Then in 2014, he broke his collarbone and separated a shoulder in the preseason, and in 2015 with Denver, he ruptured an Achilles tendon on the second day of training camp.

Finally, at Indianapolis, running back Josh Ferguson (JCA) and inside linebacker Antonio Morrison (Bolingbrook) are in contention for prominent spots on the depth chart.

Ferguson signed as a free agent and Morrison was a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft. Both have received significant hype as their careers get started.

In the Colts’ preseason opener against Buffalo, the offensive line had an off game and Ferguson gained a net of three yards in eight carries.

He is billed as a good receiver out of the backfield, which could help his status.

AREA ROUNDUP

Slammers halt losing streak with romp SUBMITTED REPORTS SAUGET – After dropping four straight contests in which they scored just four runs, the Joliet Slammers needed to get some offense in the middle game of their series at Gateway.

And that’s just what manager Jeff Isom’s squad did as they scored early and often on Saturday by jumping out to a 6-0 advantage after three innings, which helped them to roll to a 16-0 Frontier League victory over the Grizzlies.

Joliet (44-38) broke things open with a four-run second inning in which all of the scoring came with two outs. Marc Flores (2 for 4, three RBI) doubled home a pair before two runs scored on an error. In the third, Casey Fletcher (4 for 5, three runs, three RBI, homer) drove in

two more runs with a single.

The Slammers scored two more runs in the fifth, got five runs in the seventh, added one run in the eighth and two more in the ninth. Alfredo Rodriguez (4 for 6, three runs), Melvin Rodriguez (2 for 5), Mike Garza (2 for 3), Charlie White (2 for 5) and Jake Gronsky (2 for 7) also had multiple hits for Joliet, which finished with 21 hits.

Liam O’Sullivan improved to 9-1 on the season after allowing just four hits while striking out 12 and walking one in nine innings. That ties him for the league lead with two others.

With the victory, the Slammers remained 31/2 games ahead of Washington for first place in the East Division. The Wild Things edged Schaumburg, 2-1, on

Saturday.

In Friday’s opener of the series, the Slammers dropped a 6-2 decision. The highlight for the visitors were solo homers by Carter Bell (11th) and Jake Gronsky (eighth).

Lara signs with Twins: Slammers right-handed pitcher Confesor Lara has signed with the Minnesota Twins organization.

Lara had been with the Slammers for just over a week.

Before coming to the Slammers, Lara spent five seasons in the minors, including time with the Erie SeaWolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, and the Lakeland Flying Tigers, the Tigers’ A-Advanced affiliate.

“I think that we’re going to do really good this year,” Jones said. “We know each other a lot better now and know how we all play and that helps a lot. We connect really well on the court, especially since we’re all friends. We have a lot of good personalities with some funny people and some people who can be serious when we need to, so that’s a good balance.

“Everyone’s able to do their job very well. We have a really strong offense, our setters have been working hard to connect with their hitters and the defense has worked to get quicker.”

Junior rightside hitter Julia Elsouso is pleased by her squad’s improvement since last season.

“We had a lot of injuries last year, including myself, but we definitely brought it together, stuck through it and worked with what we had and ended really strong,” Elsouso said. “We were a young team last year. But we worked with each other for a year so we’re closer and we know what we have so we’re definitely going to be stronger this season.

“We have height this year and a lot of

strong hitters. A lot of us are very close and we have a lot of good friendships on this team and don’t really have any drama, which helps. We’re very tightknit and encouraging. We have to work harder in practice and be dedicated to the sport. I’m definitely looking forward to this season.”

Sophomore outside hitter Kayla Bonfiglio likes the way that the Porters are progressing.

“We finished strong last year and want to start strong right away,” Bonfiglio said. “I see us doing very well this season since everyone is jelling and when a team does that, you play well together.

Our offense is really strong and serve-receive has improved a lot and will be our backbone this season since without passing, you can’t do anything.

“When you get along outside of volleyball, then you work well together on the court. We created a bond and feed off of each other’s energy. I like how we pick each other up and rely on each other and that will really benefit us. We’re going to have a lot of fun this season.”

Coach Alex Rodriguez: “As a new coach here, I am looking forward to an exciting and rewarding season. These girls have major talent and from the short amount of time that we had over the summer, we have improved tremendously. I hope to improve what has already been established here and that is excellence.”

PLAINFIELD NORTH 2015 record: 21-16 Key returners: Madison Dieter (Jr., MH, 6-3); Madison Ryley (Jr., OH, 5-11) Key additions: Gretchen Ketlehut (Fr., MH, 6-3)

Key graduation losses: Allie Lindroth, Laure Murphy, Lauren Robeck, Aleezah Washington Coach Tracey Marshall: “Having graduated notable seniors across all key areas, Plainfield North will sport a very young squad this year.

We are in the rebuilding phase and will use this preseason to solidify a new foundation and starting lineup. I anticipate it will take time to gel as a unit but fully expect to be up to our regular standard by midseason. The girls have been working hard this summer, and I am excited to see what this season brings.”

This year, she can take on an even larger role and perhaps become the top outside in the area.

“I know that I do have a shot and that makes me want to work that much harder,” Papesh said. “I know that there are so many great players in this conference, so it’ll be hard to beat them out, but I am looking forward to seeing how the season plays out and I’m accepting that challenge.”

Papesh, Perinar and Bonde all have the chance to become the top player, which is scary for opponents. It’s also good for the Indians because if one of the trio gets better, all do.

That’s how the entire team is. The Indians push each other so they can become better as individuals, which translates to a stronger team. This has resulted in Minooka making school history. It

is the first time it is ranked in the top 10.

Although the Indians are excited about the ranking, they’re not letting it get to them. They’re going to go out, get better and prove how good they are.

“We need to play and prove how good we can be,” Prosek said. “What counts is where we are at the end of the season.

We realize many have high expectations for the 2016 team, so we will have to push beyond our limits to prove we should be there.”

“The ranking does add a little more pressure, but if we try our best we can go to state, then we’ll take it from there,” Perinar said. “We’re worried about conference. We’re not going to go into every game thinking about being No. 2, because that won’t help us. We have to know that every game matters leading up to state.”

PLAINFIELD EAST 2015 record: 17-10 Key returners: Kenzie Duggen (So., OH, 5-7); Malia Gamen (Jr., S, 5-7); Roberta Jokubauskaite (Sr., MH, 5-10); Sara Mokrzycka (Sr., MH, 5-8) Key additions: Emma Korp (So., MH, 5-10); Samantha Rendon (So., RH, 5-7); Cailey Zach (Jr., OH, 5-7) Key graduation los: Mackenzie Welsh

Perinar isn’t the only one who can play middle. Bonde also is capable in the position, and if the two had to play it, they still would be two of the top players in the area. Their versatility is a huge benefit, and having them on the pins makes them more of a threat.

It doesn’t hurt that the two can pass and defend well, too. It’s a rarity that right side can play back row well this young.

LOCKPORT – Through most of their rich history, Lockport’s girls volleyball teams have enjoyed a whole lot of 20-win seasons and experienced very few 20-loss campaigns.

That’s why the 20-plus defeats that the Porters have suffered during each of the last two years have been a tough pill to swallow for a program that once was regarded among the state’s best under the longtime guidance of hall of fame coach Julia Hudson.

Last year was a challenging debut for coach Nick Mraz, who has done a fine job with the Porters’ boys program. A slew of injuries mixed with inexperience led to a long season.

But the Porters started to enjoy some success late in the year and put up a good fight against Plainfield Central in the playoffs. The strong finish coupled with having most of that squad’s top players back gives all involved plenty of optimism for the upcoming campaign.

“The whole season last year was kind of like growing pains,” Mraz said. “But once we went on that run at the end of the year, the girls started to realize how we can play. In the playoffs we lost to a very tough Plainfield Central team and battled them. We just have to carry that run to now. Starting on Tuesday at Lemont, that’s how we have to come out firing. And I think the girls believe that and have the confidence to do it since they have the experience now.

“Last year we had freshmen, sophomores and juniors running the show and they were just outmatched, but that year of experience is huge. I think that we have all of the pieces and they’re a tightknit group that have that competitive edge. When our defensive specialists are on, they’ll pass above a 2.0 and we’ve got a good amount of height. And there’s the will that they’re not going to let the ball drop and will put the ball away when they have that chance.”

Senior outside hitter Serene Jones feels that the team has come a long way from last year.

Bears make quantum leap in Week 2

expose them to different stuff like we’re going to get during the regular season.”

There is that and more. Although both Fox and Pariots coach Bill Belichick said they weren’t trying to bring things up a notch, allow more contact or encourage guys to go harder, there was no question from anybody watching the workouts that both sides did.

On Tuesday, the Bears’ offense – particularly the receivers – put a little swagger in their steps after several wins in the 7-on-7 passing drills.

Many teams stage joint workouts once during the preseason, but this is the second week in a row the Patriots have had guests after working with the Saints last week.

Belichick is without question the best coach in the NFL today, and it isn’t an accident that the Pats work more against other clubs in the preseason than anyone else.

Clearly, there is not much to celebrate in a 23-22 loss in the second exhibition game of the preseason.

One of the upshots of this week with Kyle Fuller staying in Chicago and Bryce Callahan sidelined all week as well, and Jacoby Glenn leaving the Patriots game because of a concussion, the Bears’ already-suspect secondary is dangerously thin and a huge question mark with the opener now only three weeks away But these camps are about progress, and the Bears’ offense took a significant step in New England against one of the league’s best teams, and that made the week in New England a trip well worth making.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The Bears’ offense still has a long, long way to go, but its improvement Thursday night against the New England Patriots over Week 1 at home versus the Broncos was as close to a quantum leap as I’ve seen a Bears unit take during the exhibition season in some time.

Last week, I wrote about the offense’s startling futility in the first three quarters keyed by the inefficiency of the first AP photo unit.

6 players arrested, 1 for tackling police officer

By RICK CALLAHAN The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – Notre Dame cornerback Devin Butler was jailed Saturday after a police officer said the player punched and slammed him to the ground outside a bar, and five teammates were arrested in a separate incident when a trooper found marijuana and a loaded handgun inside their car during a traffic stop.

Officers had to use a stun gun to subdue Butler in the altercation outside the Linebacker Lounge in South Bend, according to a probable cause

affidavit.

South Bend police spokesman Lt. Joe Galea said that after officers broke up a fight inside the bar they saw two women fighting outside when Butler allegedly shoved one of the women. Butler was agitated and when officers told him to back away he allegedly pushed the officers and then attacked one of them.

The affidavit said Butler tackled an officer to the ground, punched him several times in the side and stomach and pulled off his duty belt.

“He shouted profanities at the officers and started swinging his fist,” Galea said of Butler.

The St. Joseph County prosecutor’s office said Butler faced possible charges of resisting law enforcement and battery to a police officer, both felonies. Butler was being held at the county jail on $10,000 surety bond.

But Prosecutor Kenneth P. Cotter said in a statement Saturday that he’s seeking court approval for additional time to investigate the case so his office can “determine whether formal charges are appropriate.”

The officer Butler allegedly attacked was taken to a hospital for treatment for minor injuries, including a sore wrist, South Bend police spokesman Galea said.

CUBS 9, ROCKIES 2

MLB

By MICHAEL KELLY

The Associated Press

DENVER – Kris Bryant launched a long homer and drove in four runs, Ben Zobrist had three hits and also went deep, and the Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies 9-2 on Saturday night.

Miguel Montero had three hits and drove in three for the Cubs, who spoiled the major league debut of Rockies starter Jeff Hoffman.

Trevor Cahill (3-3) got the win with

42/3 innings in relief of spot starter Mike Montgomery.

Hoffman (0-1), a former first-round pick who was acquired a year ago as part of the deal that sent Troy Tulowitzki to Toronto, started off well but ran into trouble the second time through against the NL Central leaders.

Bryant made it 7-0 in the fifth with his 31st homer, a three-run drive that went an estimated 469 feet to dead center.

Sale ends drought with 8 scoreless, White Sox beat A’s

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Chris Sale pitched eight scoreless innings for his first victory in 49 days, Jose Abreu homered and the White Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 6-2 on Saturday night.

Sale (15-6) was the majors’ first 14game winner and the AL starter in the All-Star Game, but the lefty had gone 0-4 in six starts, interrupted by a fiveday suspension for slicing up throwback uniforms he didn’t want to wear.

Sale allowed three hits and retired the last seven batters, five by strike-

out, while throwing a season-high 120 pitches.

The White Sox scored four runs with two outs, including Abreu’s solo shot that just cleared the eight-foot wall in right in the first inning. Melky Cabrera added an RBI double in the second and a run-scoring single in the fourth off Ross Detwiler (1-2).

Oakland’s Danny Valencia homered in a two-run ninth off Nate Jones before David Robertson earned his 31st save.

Detwiler allowed six runs and 10 hits in four innings in his third start for the banged-up A’s, who have dropped six of seven.

Surprise: Dillon wins Xfinity race at Bristol in wild finish

By PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Austin Dillon figured fourth place was about all he could get Friday night until the old Brad Keselowski-Kyle Busch rivalry reared up at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Keselowski hit the back of Busch’s car as the defending Sprint Cup champ tried to clear him from the lead, cutting down a tire and sending Busch into the wall four laps

from the scheduled end. Then just as suddenly Keselowski ran out of gas during the caution — leaving a happily surprised Dillon out front to win the Xfinity race in overtime Friday night.

“I was actually just enjoying what was going on (up front) trying to get there,” Dillon said about the chaos.

For the last 50 laps, the race looked like a classic faceoff between Busch and Keselowski who no one would consider friends.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL – BRONZE-MEDAL GAME: UNITED STATES 3, NETHERLANDS 1

Murphy, U.S. win bronze

By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – Before they took the court and won bronze, they gathered in the locker room one final time. Each player on the U.S. women’s volleyball took a turn to speak.

Jordan Larson told her teammates she loved them and would fight for every one of them.

Alisha Glass made sure they all knew there was nowhere she’d rather be now than right here in Rio. Captain Christa Dietzen? She didn’t need an Olympic medal. She already understood what this tight-knit team was all about, and she also knew it sure would be nice to wear one home as she heads into retirement and prepares to start a family. They thanked one another for the time and effort over four hard years.

Beach star Kerri Walsh Jennings sent a note of her own: Go get a bronze.

Just as Walsh Jennings and April Ross did.

“I’m just really proud to be a part of

this program,” Larson said. “It’s come a long way. I’m just really happy because there are a lot of good people who deserve this. A lot of people just gave their hearts and soul to this.”

Player-turned-coach Karch Kiraly, the only person to win Olympic volleyball gold as a beach and indoor player, addressed each woman. He spoke of his admiration and acknowledged those players back home who didn’t make the cut.

Just by stepping on the court Saturday, Foluke Akinradewo showed how this squad stuck together. She returned from an injury to her left leg that forced

her out early in the semifinal loss to Serbia. The star middle blocker took charge as the top-ranked Americans bounced back two days later to beat the Netherlands, 25-23, 25-27, 25-22, 25-19, Saturday.

After Kim Hill’s ace on match point, the U.S. women fell into an embrace. Kiraly hugged his coaches and brought the women into a huddle for one last cheer.

“In a way, selfishly, I wanted a gold medal to almost prove the way this culture is, or the way the culture has grown and the foundation that we’ve built, almost to prove it right – that the way we did it was right,” Dietzen said. “A medal’s not going to prove that. A medal doesn’t define this team. It will never define this team.”

Reserve setter Courtney Thompson, the Americans’ inspirational motivator, joined Dietzen in announcing immediately after the match that her volleyball days are done. Then they joked about meeting for a crack-of-dawn spin class later in the week.

“I have a whole new respect for everyone that wins a bronze medal,” Thompson said. “It’s not easy, 48 hours later.”

Neymar kick is gold, giving Brazil 1st Olympic soccer title

RIO DE JANEIRO – With a kiss of the ball and an unforgettable kick, Brazil’s biggest soccer star gave the Olympic host its biggest moment of the games.

Brazil won its first Olympic gold medal in soccer Saturday with a dramatic penalty kick by Neymar to defeat Germany, sending the nation into a frenzy after a 1-1 (5-4 shootout victory).

Before the decisive shot, Neymar picked up the ball, kissed it and placed it on the penalty spot. With a stutter step and a smooth kick, he calmly sent a shot into the top corner and fell to his knees before being mobbed by his teammates.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

U.S. women win 6th straight title

By DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – Geno Auriemma and Diana Taurasi shared a long, emotional embrace. Mission accomplished.

The dominant U.S. women’s basketball team did what was expected, winning a sixth consecutive Olympic gold medal and doing it in impressive fashion. In yet another rout, the U.S. dismantled Spain, 101-72, on Saturday.

Taurasi and the Americans played nearly flawless basketball in Rio, and were never challenged. They have won 49 consecutive games in the Olympics, with only one of those decided by single digits.

“It’s amazing isn’t it? I mean when you think, that’s 20 years of 20 years,” Auriemma said. “You know the first one was ’96 and here we are 2016. It’s mindboggling when you think about it what this team has been able to accomplish, this program of the USA Basketball program. There is such a level of expectation, there’s such a level of respect for the people at the

very top.

“We’re doing stuff that may never be done again.”

Even with that kind of sustained success by some very talented U.S. teams, this may be the best women’s basketball squad ever assembled.

The team won by nearly 40 points a game, but fell short of the record 102.4 points the 1996 team averaged.

But if this isn’t the best ever, it’s close.

Taurasi puts the 2016 group at the top of the list.

“I mean I’m not just saying talent-wise. I’m not saying margin of victory. I’m saying this is the most determined, unselfish team I’ve ever been on – hands down,” the four-time gold medalist said.

There never really was any doubt that the U.S. would win the gold in Rio. The only question was by how much.

Still, closure to their journey Saturday had Auriemma and Taurasi both fighting back tears.

“I think it was a very emotional time. When you’re around these play-

ers and you’re around Sue (Bird) and Diana and Tamika (Catchings), and you know that this maybe their last and you’re able to send them out, it’s like graduating seniors back home,” Auriemma said. “And at the same time, you’ve got three young players who’ve never been here before. They get to go home with their first gold medal ever.

“There’s just a lot of emotions running through our team and running through our locker room.”

Unlike their semifinal win over France when the Americans looked discombobulated for a half, the U.S. was more fluid offensively. It helped having Bird back in the lineup. The four-time gold medalist and team captain missed the semifinal game with a sprained right knee capsule. She wasn’t 100 percent Saturday, but was good enough.

The U.S., which beat Spain by 40 in a preliminary round game, got off to a slow start and only led 21-17 after the first quarter. The Americans were up 27-24 in the second quarter before getting going.

RIO DE JANEIRO – As she wobbled along on a flat tire four years ago in London, Gwen Jorgensen promised to turn that heartbreak at Hyde Park into a conquering of Copacabana Beach at the Rio Games.

She crushed both the course and the competition Saturday, giving the U.S. its first Olympic triathlon gold medal by cruising across the finish line in 1 hour, 56 minutes, 16 seconds.

That was 40 seconds ahead of silver medalist Nicola Spirig of Switzerland, who won gold at the 2012 Games after Jorgensen’s flat tire relegated her to a 38th-place finish.

Vicky Holland outsprinted British teammate Non Stanford for the bronze.

Mamun tops world champ in rhythmic gymnastics

RIO DE JANEIRO – Russia’s dominance in rhythmic gymnastics remains as strong as ever. Yana Kudryavtseva’s dominance of the sport’s big-time meets, however, is over.

Margarita Mamun ended her Russian teammate’s long run in major international competition during the Olympic all-around final on Saturday, taking advantage when a rare mistake by Kudryavtseva gave Mamun enough room to squeak by and wrest the gold from the three-time world champion.

Mamun’s total of 76.483 gave Russia its fifth straight Olympic gold in the rhythmic all-around and Mamun her first major title after spending most of the last three years as the runner-up to Kudryavtseva.

DOING THE LORD’S WORK

Gary Cheney said God and volunteers make ShareFest a success

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

NEW LENOX – Lord, make me a helper.

Gary Cheney of New Lenox said he was 7 the first time he prayed that prayer. In 2007, Cheney founded ShareFest in New Lenox, which has grown from a one-day event to a series of service projects, giveaways and resources around Will County throughout the year.

But the most concentrated efforts are held Sept. 1 through Sept. 17.

Those efforts need helpers. About 500 helpers.

Right now, Cheney has a handful.

But he’s certain they will come.

“Not only is the Lord behind it [ShareFest], he’s got his hand on it,” Cheney said.

What do volunteers do? They work drop-off sites for various donated goods, sort and organize the goods, and assist people with the loading and unloading.

Cheney also needs people to work a giant recycling event that accepts household hazardous waste, electronics, wood, Styrofoam, scrap metal, carpet and even paint.

Oh, and he could also use handymen for service projects.

Although Cheney is ShareFest’s visible coordinator, he insists it’s the volunteers and ShareFest’s 160 partners who make ShareFest successful.

“They are the heartbeat,” Cheney said.

ShareFest defined

The sheer volume of the projects Cheney organizes boggles the mind.

In September alone, ShareFest will hold drives for books, clothes, food, pet supplies and items for the troops.

There will be a paper-shredding event, a job and resource fair, work projects, and free legal services and haircuts. And that doesn’t include the projects ShareFest did throughout the year.

From March to May, ShareFest did cleanup projects in the Fairmont neighborhood.

From March to September, it participated in work projects on various sites belonging to the Will County Forest Preserve District.

Throughout the year, ShareFest also hosted several job and resource fairs, as well as health and safety fairs, at various locations in Will

County. One job fair offered “Dress for Success,” where participants could take home donated suits, dress clothes and work clothes.

“We had well over 600 attendees at that event,” Cheney said.

Through donations and a grant, Cheney said ShareFest purchased $25,000 worth of equipment for the New Lenox Township Food Pantry.

One item was a large freezer so the pantry could provide better quality food for more people, Cheney said.

Recently, about 240 volunteers from the University of St. Francis, in

When the sight returned in one eye, Cheney said he attended college, taught school for a few years, and then went into the insurance business as an independent broker.

But Cheney believes God himself called him to be a helper.

One day as a young man, Cheney was working on his car and listening to an evangelist on the radio. He jotted the man’s name on a card, stored it in his wallet and forgot about it. In 1999 at 2:30 in the morning and lying in bed, Cheney said God told him to surrender.

Lord, make me a helper That made no sense to Cheney, From where did Cheney’s helping who felt he’d surrendered to God drive originate? Possibly from his years ago. Four hours later, restless parents.

Cheney said. “That’s what I did.” cooperation with ShareFest, participated in a number of projects: mixing donated paint, stocking shelves at food pantries, and planting garden beds at the Spanish Community Center in Joliet.

Cheney refuses to take credit for any of it.

“I have the easiest job in the world,” Cheney said. “All I do is take people who have a passion and help them find jobs. I help them build teams of qualified people and utilize all the resources God has given me.”

Vu plays varsity volleyball, is a member of the Math and French teams, and serves on the PNHS Link Crew student leadership group, among other activities.

Likewise, both students continue to challenge themselves academically by taking numerous Advanced Placement courses their senior year.

Yahnke enjoys writing science fiction and fantasy stories and would like to be a professional writer.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff about six rows from the front and in line with the speaker’s face. At the theater or movies, try to get an unobstructed view.

If you can, avoid sitting under a balcony.

Try out an assistive-listening device if one is available.

• Enlist your smartphone. By downloading one of several free apps and adding a pair of earbuds or wireless headphones, you can convert your smartphone into an entry-level hearing aid. All of the apps amplify sounds picked up on your phone’s microphone. Several also have features common to a digital hearing aid.

For instance, they can focus on close or distant sounds and adjust levels of background noise.

I’m in the same position as you. I have mild hearing loss, and I’d like to at least postpone using a hearing aid. I’ve tried all of these tips except the last, and I can confirm that they help me.

Although I’d like to postpone using one, things have changed a lot in the world of hearing aids. They are both better and smaller, no longer large and unsightly.

Hearing loss falls into the category of ailments that, if you have to have them, are easier to deal with in this century than in the last.

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

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

PREVIOUS SOLUTION

• Sunday, August 21, 2016

Dear Dr. K: I suffer from minor hearing loss, but not bad enough for a hearing aid.

My wife complains about the volume on the TV, and I can’t always keep up with conversations at a party or restaurant.

I’m not looking for a technological fix just yet. Can you give me some practical solutions?

Dear Reader: I’m happy to share some practical tips for dealing with minor hearing loss. Before I do, though, I’d advise you to see a doctor. Hearing loss may be caused by a variety of things, including an underlying health condition.

If you are experiencing normal, age-related hearing loss, you at some point may benefit from a hearing aid.

In the meantime, here are some listening strategies that should help you to get the most out of a conversation or public event: • Come in for a close-up. Move within 6 to 10 feet of the other person and focus on his or her face. You may not be a lip reader, but you can pick up a lot of cues from a person’s mouth and facial expressions.

If you’re in a group, position yourself so that you can see everyone.

• Put your best ear forward. If one ear has better hearing than the other, try to keep it toward the speaker.

• Ban shouting. Ask friends and family to come into the same room to talk to you, not to shout from a distance.

• Listen up. Follow the speaker closely.

Once you become familiar with someone’s speaking patterns and style, you’ll be better able to pick up words and phrases that might otherwise be confusing.

• Stake out your turf. If you’re going to a talk or live performance, try to find a seat

Coaches have an obligation to quiet obnoxious parents Dear Abby: I need some words of wisdom from you. This past weekend, I went to see my 7-year-old nephew play baseball. These are all young kids just learning the game.

There was one young player whose father kept shouting horrible things at him like, “Catch like a MAN!” and, “I don’t know why I waste my time coming here!” It was horrible to see that poor kid just wilt under his father’s abuse.

Maybe I should have spoken up, but I was scared. Was there anything I could have said? What can be done under those circumstances? I worry there may be a lot more parents out there like this dad. Say something, Abby. We need your help. – Ashamed Of That Dad In Decatur Dear Ashamed Of That Dad: Children

who are encouraged usually do well

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips at an activity. Those who are bullied, as that child was, do not. What you witnessed was someone trying to relive his own youth through his child.

The person to address the belligerent parent should have been the coach of the team.

Dear Abby: I just want to let you know you changed my life. I’m 68 years old with two grown girls and two grandchildren. My husband and I had the old-fashioned flip phones and were not “into” texting like our children and grandchildren.

Every few weeks, we’d get the obligatory phone call from one of the

NEIGHBOR

daughters, and I would feel a tinge resentful both of our girls didn’t call more. Along came your column about a grandma who was miffed because her family didn’t call often and were more into texting. I was thinking, “You go, Grandma!” because I identified with her.

Your answer surprised me. You told Gram to get with the program and enter her kids’ world. Well, that’s what I did. I got a new cellphone with a keyboard for texting. (Smartphones are not practical where we live.)

Abby, texting has transformed my world! I’m closer than ever with the girls. We send pictures and little “thinking of you” notes. I can never thank you enough for your wise advice. If I hadn’t read your response, my life would be the poorer for it.

Bless you. – Barb In Rodeo, N.M.

Volunteer.

Dear Barb: Your letter brightened my day. You’re welcome. But kudos to you for taking it to heart. Technology is constantly evolving and becoming easier to use, and it’s meant to help bring people closer. I’m glad it has done that for you.

Dear Abby: What does it say about my ex-husband who has been paying storage fees on household items ever since our separation and divorce over 20 years ago? – Beverly In Nevada Dear Beverly: What it says to me is your ex is unusually sentimental and/ or can afford it.

P.S. And why, after all this time, would you care so much that you would write to me about it?

Call Jarhead at 312-770-0684 No doubt you have occasionally seen your partner’s attention wander during a deal and forget a key piece of information, forcing him to guess how to proceed -- but never you!

At other times, though, you or your partner will have to guess.

In today’s deal, how should South Powered by: play in six spades after West leads the club queen? Taking the diamond suit in isolation, if you have to play 2000 Buick LeSabre - Runs Smooth it with no idea who holds the queen, 93+K mi, good engine, $1200. 815-341-8794 what would you do?

2000 Buick Lesabre – 190k, Cold A/C, Needs Wheel When North responded with a Barrings, $2000/OBO 779-875-4299 three-heart transfer bid, South made a superaccept by jumping to four spades. This showed four- or five-card 2000 32ft Jayco Eagle Trailer, EXC COND! Couch, table, queen bed, $5500. 815-436-2669 support, a good hand for spades and a doubleton somewhere. North took 2007 Utility Trailer, 5x8, $300/firm a shot at slam.

815-723-5806 At first glance, because of the 2015 Royal Travel 5th Wheel, 39', Self-Contained annoying mirror distribution, it seems 2BR, 4 Slide-Outs, Island Kitchen, King Size Bed, Garden Tub, W/D, 3 A/C's, Loaded with Upgrades! $41,500 that declarer must find the diamond 815-258-3085 queen to get home. However, the contract is a certainty if played correctly.

South should win with dummy’s club ace, draw trumps, and cash his heart winners. Then he leads his last club to endplay an opponent.

Whoever takes that trick must either lead a diamond, finding the queen, or concede a ruff-and-sluff.

If South must play diamonds himself, he should start with his jack. If West covers or noticeably pauses, he gives the game away. Or, if he plays low smoothly, declarer wins with dummy’s king and finesses through East on the way back.
