New Joliet D-204 office increasing outreach to Hispanics, alumni

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The new Joliet Township High School District 204 Community and Alumni Relations Office has been busy revamping its outreach to Hispanic families and former students.

The Community Relations Office and the Alumni Office were consolidated earlier this year to be led as one office by Kristine Schlismann, previously the district’s community relations director.

Since then, the office has increased Spanish-language content and coordinating reunion events and publicity.

According to Schlismann’s Aug. 16 report to the school board, phone messages are now being delivered in Spanish. Currently, 1,411 Central families and 785 West families have chosen to receive messages in Spanish.

District documents – such as Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy’s newsletter and publicity for events – have been translated into Spanish and the district’s Facebook posts will be in English and Spanish, too.

District officials have said in the past it’s been a goal to communicate effectively with Hispanic families. The number of Hispanic students at District 204 has grown from 39 percent to 45 percent in the past five years. As far as alumni relations, the office has created a new alumni Facebook page and a new logo for the old Joliet East High School, and is working on updating the alumni database.

The community and alumni relations office also celebrated the 103rd birthday of alumna Helen Cutler, class of 1931, with JTHS Alumni Association President Nancy Bartels.

“According to Helen, some things are

still the same as they were in high school 85 years ago. Helen fondly remembered the challenges of getting to class on time in such a large building,” Schlismann stated in her report.

Community outreach initiatives

The Community and Alumni Relations Office also has offered a text messaging service for parents so they can receive key information from the district and their student’s school.

Schlismann stated in the report that she is working in partnership with the Zonta Club of Joliet and National Hook Up of Black Women to host a Woman and Girls Health Expo from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Oct. 29 at the Joliet Central High School student center.

“This partnership is a great testament to the community engagement that this facility is providing,” Schlismann stated.

D-204 officials take different approach on student behavior

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Township High School District 204 officials have tweaked a districtwide behavior management system in an effort to reduce loss in instructional time for students with disciplinary issues.

Those students will receive additional support from staff this school year. District officials are also using social detentions during the school day and adjusting inschool suspensions to allow students time for behavior reflection and classwork.

Joliet Central Principal Shad Hallihan told the board Aug. 16 that recently staff heard some frustration from teachers about the amount of time students were out of class – or missing instructional time – as a result of the behavior management system.

The district adopted the system about 11 years ago, he said.

He said teams focused on West, Central and districtwide improvement studied and discussed the issue to come up with ideas, as well as reviewed student discipline data.

As a result their work, the following

additional interventions will be implemented this school year: • Additional support groups facilitated by Pupil Personnel Services, student assistance coordinators and social workers.

• An additional social worker at Central and West.

• Social detentions during lunch or advisory period and period one.

• Change in in-school suspension format to allow for behavior reflection and classwork.

West Principal Teresa Gibson said that if the staff notice repeated behaviors from students with no improvement, then the student will have a meeting with a PPS coordinator, dean, counselor and family to figure out solutions collectively.

Gibson also said the district is insisting teachers document their interventions with students before submitting a referral to a dean.

“There’s lot of things we know teachers can take care of in their classroom and do take care of in their classroom, so we want to exhaust those options before a

referral to the dean,” she said.

Gibson said staff also will encourage positive behavior with rewards and have monthly public service announcements on topics such as tardiness, social media, anxiety issues and more.

Declining student expulsion

The number of student expulsions for the 2015-16 school year totaled 28, showing continued decline from the 2009-10 school year.

Out of the 28, 23 were recommended to be sent to Lincoln School, said Jeff Riley, the district’s director of strategic partnerships. Lincoln School serves students in Will County with disciplinary issues or who need more intervention.

Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy said the decline in expulsions is a testament to the support systems in place, such as the Youth Experiencing Success in School and Restorative Practices Problem Solving Circles programs.

“I think over the last several years, we’re now seeing all of the results of that hard work and dedication that staff members put in,” she said.

A.C. and Janice Love recently had portions of their home revitalized through the Fairmont Redevelopment Program.

PROGRAM IMPROVES BLIGHT Long-term, multiagency effort seeks to revitalize Fairmont neighborhood

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com It was 1950 when Janice Love’s father, Herb Pinnick, built a home from the ground up in unincorporated Will County’s Fairmont neighborhood near Lockport.

The single-story house in the 100 block of Harvard Street is where she grew up. Aside from 10 years working in Pittsburgh, Love has lived in the area her entire life. Her sister wanted to sell the house after their father died.

Instead, Love stepped up to maintain a piece of family history.

“I promised my father we would take care of the house,” Love said.

It’s been home for many years to

Love, her husband, A.C. Love, and their dog, Blue – named for his blue eyes.

They’ve seen how the neighborhood has changed. Former neighbors have died and left abandoned homes behind.

While occupied properties that remain are in need of improvements, Fairmont still is a quiet area where neighbors respect each other, Janice said. She doesn’t want to move.

“Staying here keeps me close to my father,” she said. “It’s our homestead.”

Fairmont Redevelopment Program

Volunteers recently applied a fresh coat of paint to the interior walls and the cinder-block exterior of the Loves’ home.

This, and other revitalization proj-

ects throughout the community, are part of the Fairmont Redevelopment Program, an effort that could last three to five years. In late July, 200 volunteers came to Fairmont to work on improvement projects and kick off the program.

A 2012 Fairmont Neighborhood Plan approved by the Will County Board sat without funding to act on its priorities, said Ron Pullman, Will County Community Development Division director.

The report stated that Fairmont has struggled to attract investment and in many ways has been “left behind by the growth” that occurred in other parts of the county. The number of employed adults in Fairmont had fallen dramatically since 2000. Pullman said about 45

houses in the neighborhood have been abandoned and torn down in the past 20 years.

With the help of a combined $1 million between two U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grants, the program took action. Leadership decided, with input from the public, that infrastructure and housing stability were most important.

The largest potential expense is that the area is prone to flooding, Pullman said. An engineering study indicated that to bring the drainage system up to modern standards, it would cost about $5 million – far more than what is available. That project likely will be worked

New Lenox looks to extend impact fee reduction

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – A proposed new development agreement for the Jacob’s Field subdivision in New Lenox has board trustees deciding how to continue the village’s impact fee reduction policy for developers with agreements prior to 2010.

The village adopted a resolution in 2010 that gave a 50 percent reduction on impact fees for existing developers in order to stimulate building in a slow housing market. The reduction has been renewed regularly for the past six years.

With the Jacob’s Field 20-year annexation agreement expired this year, developers have requested a new 20year agreement that also extends the 50

percent reduction for the next 10 years.

Village trustees tabled a vote on the agreement at a board meeting Monday night to allow time to develop a resolution that would extend the reduction for the next 10 years for all developers who have been receiving the benefit.

Of the 159 homes proposed for the subdivision, which comprises about 76 acres on the northeast corner of Gougar and Laraway roads, only about 40 have been built so far, Assistant Village Administrator Robin Ellis said.

Village Administrator Kurt Carroll said the board is willing to continue fee relief for Jacob’s Field as well as other developers that “have paid higher prices for lots and stayed with us and weathered the storm” so that they can be competitive with other developers who bought lots during the recession

for “pennies on the dollar.”

Trustees made it clear that they supported the new agreement but wanted to remove language regarding the impact fee reduction that will not be necessary once a resolution is adopted, he said.

Having a new resolution in place, as opposed to a provision in individual agreements, ensures that “everyone in the same position is treated equally and fairly,” Mayor Tim Baldermann said in an interview after the meeting.

Also, the village would no longer have to renew the fee reduction every year, Baldermann said.

Baldermann said he does not the expect fee reduction policy will be necessary after the 10-year limit since almost 70 percent of the village’s empty lots have had homes built on them in the

on in small portions as more funding emerges.

A collaboration for revitalization

The county, community leaders, churches and other organizations are combining to stretch the $1 million as far as it will go. More than 60 residents have filed applications for improvements. The intent is to fulfill as many eligible applications as possible.

DeLinda Herod, acting president of the year-old Fairmont Community Partnership Group, has led a neighborhood initiative to bring concerned Fairmont residents together for the betterment of the community. Herod and the group serve as the direct connection between agencies and Fairmont residents.

The group has held a job fair, a health and safety fair, neighborhood cleanups and just launched the “Keep Your 50 Clean” campaign, to promote residents who keep their yards clean.

The Will County Center for Community Concerns has a connection to contractors, which helps in evaluating a property’s eligibility for the redevelopment program, Pullman said.

Will County Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Nicole Murray said her agency holds the mortgages for 31 Fairmont homes.

“Habitat for Humanity has revitalization in its motto,” Murray said.

“Hopefully, we can make the money go further with our volunteers.”

Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said the Fairmont Redevelopment

past six years.

When the village first decided on the policy in 2010, there were 1,100 empty lots and only about 25 new homes being built per year, as opposed to about 180 homes in the past year, Baldermann said.

“If not for that fee reduction, those homes would never have been built,” he said.

Now the village has about 400 empty lots remaining.

Despite “a one-time loss” from the reduced fees, the reduction has benefited all taxing bodies, including school districts, which receive more property taxes on built homes than on empty lots, Baldermann added.

A resolution is expected to be drafted and come to the board for adoption in the fall, he said.

The bridge also would continue access southeast to Oak Avenue in Fairmont to avoid the habitat of the endangered Hines’ emerald dragonfly and veer back north to Bruce Road and east to Interstate 355.

Residents not running

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Janice Love stands on her porch Friday near a rose garden her father planted in the 1950s at the home he built in the Fairmont neighborhood.

Program is aiming to address quality-of-life issues for Fairmont residents and is seeing good participation from all partners.

Highway remains a threat

However, Walsh said, the “800-pound gorilla in the room” is a proposed county plan to build a highway in Fairmont linking Caton Farm and Bruce roads through a new bridge over the Des Plaines River. He said the proposal, which has been talked about since the 1990s, could still be 10 to 15 years from coming to fruition.

The selected route – known as the Middle Alignment – would consist of a 12-mile, four-lane road connecting

Caton Farm Road at Route 30 to 159th Street and Cedar Road in Homer Township. Roadway engineers believe it will alleviate traffic congestion along the river that is predicted to increase in the coming years.

But the proposal has been criticized by residents and elected officials in Lockport and Homer Glen.

“We don’t want it, at all,” Herod said.

Opponents have said the route’s selection disproportionately displaces and affects minority-heavy Fairmont, splitting the neighborhood in parts.

The proposed route is more than just a bridge linking Caton Farm and Bruce roads, which are east-west roadways

William and Betty Byrd have lived at a Fairmont home in the 100 block of Riley Avenue for 52 years. They said they’re the only homeowners within two or three blocks who have lived there that long.

There’s an abandoned house next to the Byrds’. But like the Loves, the Byrds plan to continue to call their property home. They raised their children on Riley Avenue.

“We’re the last of the dinosaurs,” Betty said.

Volunteers recently painted the inside of the Byrds’ home and installed a new roof.

“They did a great job,” William said.

“It was a great team.”

Past neighbors of the Byrds have died, and inheritors usually sell the homes. The Byrds said the younger generation living in their neighborhood checks in on them. In the winter, they shovel the Byrds’ driveway.

“The young people respect us,” Betty said. “They know who we are. I don’t think we could have this anywhere else.”

Man pleads guilty in New Lenox heroin death

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A New Lenox man pleaded guilty Tuesday to involuntary manslaughter for his involvement in the fatal heroin overdose of a friend four years ago.

Nicholas J. DePratt, 30, had initially been charged with drug-induced homicide in the death of Brandon A. Robinson and faced up to 30 years behind bars. Nicholas Judge Dave Carlson J. DePratt agreed to issue an eightyear prison sentence. DePratt, who has spent three years in jail, will be eligible for parole next year.

“This has been a very emotional case for both sides. Hopefully this is a fair resolution that will allow everyone to get some kind of closure and move on,” defense attorney Neil Patel said.

DePratt and Robinson were grade school friends who both became drug addicts in their 20s, DePratt told Carlson. On Nov. 25, 2012, they drove together to score heroin in Harvey as

they’d done “countless times” before.

“Brandon had the money. I had the car,” DePratt said. “I never dreamed it would turn out that way.”

Police said when Robinson passed out after taking the drug, DePratt dumped his friend near Robinson’s parents’ home in New Lenox. The Will County Coroner’s Office reported Robinson died of cold exposure coupled with heroin and cocaine intoxication. “[DePratt’s] a coward. He knows Brandon and he knows that he would never do that to him,” said Stacia Robinson, the victim’s sister.

Bill Robinson said his son’s kind nature led him to trust his friends.

“Although his demons led him there, it was ultimately his trust of a friend that cost him his life,” Bill Robinson told the judge.

DePratt told Carlson he did not encourage Robinson to start using heroin, but wished he could change anything he did that led to his friend’s death.

“All I can say is, ‘I’m sorry,’” DePratt said. “Everyone who uses knows when you’re injecting [heroin], you’re rolling the dice on your life.”

PLAINFIELD

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project manager Imad Samara provided Plainfield trustees with an update Monday of the ongoing DuPage River Study.

Samara said in a Committee of the Whole workshop meeting, which was posted to YouTube by the village, that the goal of the study is to identify sites on the river where the Corps can perform work.

The report could go to Congress in 2018 for a request to fund identified projects. The timeline Samara provided indicated that public review of the draft study will take place in May 2017. A vote

was not taken Monday and no requests were made of the village.

The flood risk management study covers areas of Will and DuPage counties by looking at the DuPage River and its major tributaries. The river encompasses a 353-square-mile area that places about 373,000 residents at risk in flooding scenarios.

The study’s objectives are to reduce the risk of flood damage to structures, infrastructure and critical facilities, and to maximize nature-based features in any potential work that would be done. For the first time in more than 30 years, there would be an updated hydrology model for the river that would help guide flood risk management as a result of the study. Samara said the

Corps is assessing the hydrology of the river, which has taken longer than expected.

Plainfield Public Works Director Allen Persons said in the meeting that studies such as these can show what occurs as a result of a certain amount of rain and are very valuable in trying to protect properties and people.

In the workshop, the committee also discussed the possibility of adding a permit and fee policy to Riverfront Park along the DuPage River. Plainfield Director of Planning Jonathan Proulx presented the committee with a draft policy based on existing ones the village uses for Settler’s Park and community rooms at other village properties.

The 42-acre Riverfront Park policy

would have to be different, however, because the park is so large. Proulx said the village staff sees potential for rent of the large space in a for-profit scenario, such as a concert or festival.

Committee members were in favor of having a policy in place but had concerns regarding scenarios involving alcohol use, varying closing times and security. Settler’s Park, for example, doesn’t allow alcoholic beverages and village parks close at certain times.

Some events that Riverfront Park could potentially host may conflict with current restrictions.

Proulx and the village’s legal counsel will continue to work on the proposed policy. An event fee could be charged relative to the size and type of event.

10 Court: Prosecutor’s retirement will not delay Peotone Township murder trial

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A man acting as his own attorney wants his do-over murder trial without delay. Judge Carmen Goodman agreed Tuesday that transcripts show Martin Elvis Gomez, 31, exercised his right to a speedy trial during a court appearance in April. Prosecutor Mike Knick had asked Goodman to reschedule next month’s trial date because he is retiring from the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office next week and another lawyer will have to take over the case.

On May 10, 2007, the body of 58-yearold Joseph N. Salamie was found near a fence on his 10-acre farm on South Harlem Avenue, just north of Peotone Road, in Peotone Township. Authorities allege that Gomez, who had once lived in a trailer on the farm, stabbed his former landlord 111 times, slit his throat and stole $1,200.

Salamie owned Sight and Sound Novelty Shop in Westmont and raised racehorses. After a 2011 trial, Gomez was convicted of Salamie’s murder and sentenced to 55 years in prison. He received a separate 19-year prison sentence for trying to hire a gang member to kill an ex-girlfriend who testified against him.

But an appellate court found that while Judge Richard Schoenstedt warned Gomez about the risks of representing himself, Schoenstedt did not give required admonishments, and the court ordered a new trial in the murder case.

Knick said whoever is prosecuting the case will ask Goodman to allow witnesses to testify about the murder-forhire case during the murder trial. The request will require a pretrial hearing.

“If it’ll make this faster, I have no objection,” Gomez said. “I’ve seen plenty of case law to know they have a right to do what they’re asking.”

But the judge told Gomez “even an experienced attorney would take the time to review it thoroughly before they agree. You’re indicating you [got notice of it] two minutes ago.”

“I will say the courts are very cautious about admitting other crimes,” Goodman said. “This [second trial] is a new day. It’s like starting all over again ... that’s where standby counsel could help you.”

Will County Assistant Public Defender Jason Strzelecki has been assigned to observe the case if Gomez changes his mind about representing himself at trial, but there were no indications Tuesday that Gomez will do so.

Pack some identity theft protection when heading off to college this fall SPONSORED BY

College students living in a relatively “open” environment are big targets for internet hackers and identity thieves, so they may need greater cyber education and protection.

Students living in a dorm or apartment often share personal information with roommates.

Students tend to frequent restaurants and coffee shops with free Wi-Fi connections, and are one of the heaviest internet user groups; especially on social media.

All of this makes students “a vulnerable group” for hacking, and puts them at risk for identity theft, said Kathleen Zydek, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Banking Services for PeopleFirstBank.

“If a parent is sending a young adult off to school, they should consider having a financial facts-of-life discussion,” she said.

For example, Ms. Zydek said many colleges provide convenient Wi-Fi services so students can do on-line homework and research, but these can be very insecure connections with little or

no encryption. She said it can be risky to use these connections to do financial transactions.

“Students may unintentionally expose sensitive information such as account numbers, passwords and Social Security numbers to ID thieves.”

PeopleFirstBank offers a great way to protect the college-bound student with accounts such as Target Secure Checking 1. For a nominal monthly account maintenance fee, Target Secure Checking includes such services as Online Banking, Bill Pay, Gas and Gift Discount Cards 2, Total Identity Monitoring 2, 3-in-1 Credit File Monitoring 2, access to a Fraud Resolution Specialist to help restore your identity, and so much more.

Meanwhile, Ms. Zydek said students can help protect themselves by following a few simple steps. Use encrypted Internet connections for personal banking and bill pay, limit the personal information posted on-line, and be suspicious of any un-solicited credit solicitations.

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – The Channahon District 17 school board on Monday approved the district’s 2016-17 final budget, presented by Chief School Business Official Michael Schroeder.

Total revenues for the year are budgeted at $20.43 million, which is down 0.6 percent from last year, and expenditures are budgeted at $16.01 million, which is a decrease of 9.3 percent.

Expenditures include a 4.3 percent increase in education fund spending, due mostly to personnel raises and implementation of the district’s 21st Century Learning Plan, which will cost a net $544,000 this year, with additional staff and equipment.

Capital projects will decrease by 51 percent from last year, when there were significant construction costs for a cafeteria building addition at N.B. Galloway School. The district will pay an additional $588,000 on the Galloway project this year.

The budget also includes a 24 percent decrease in operations and maintenance expenditures because of the purchases last year of a new HVAC system at Three Rivers School, a box truck and a technology wiring upgrade. There also will be a 0.9 percent decrease this year in transportation spending.

The line item for debt payment will decrease 100 percent, to zero. The district had set an accelerated payoff schedule for bonds issued and made its final payment last year.

The board also approved spending $8,583 for a six-month online reading program for its students called MyOn, which is the same program the dis-

“I think it gives them another option [for reading]. We used it to supplement our summer reading program ... We had over 2,000 books read in a very short period of time.”

Nick Henkle

Channahon District 17 superintendent trict used as an addition to its summer reading program this year.

Board member Dee Foreman, who cast the sole vote against the measure, said she wondered whether spending that amount of money on reading programs that were not online would be better for the students. The American Academy of Pediatricians says children’s daily screen time should be limited.

“We have no data on how this works for our students,” she said.

“I think it gives them another option [for reading],” Superintendent Nick Henkle said. “We used it to supplement our summer reading program ... We had over 2,000 books read in a very short period of time.”

The program will be a large part of the district’s new 21st Century Learning Program, Henkle added.

“This is not going to replace libraries or books in any way,” he said.

After the meeting, Henkle said the reading program also monitors students’ reading progress, customizes their book lists, reads aloud to students who need extra support and allows teachers to use results as assessments.

Troy chooses architect for long-term facility work

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Troy School District 30-C is looking to the future for its facilities.

The school board took a step last week toward establishing a long-term master facility plan for the district by authorizing Troy officials to enter into an agreement with a district architect, with all board members present voting yes. Member Kristin Dawn Cross was absent from the Aug. 17 meeting.

The district met with six firms in the search for an architect, Troy Superintendent Todd Koehl said.

“The one that really rose to the top was Legat Architects,” board President Mark Griglione said.

Legat has three offices in the Chicago area, and Koehl said the firm has done work near Troy and offers specialized skills and a sense of camaraderie that resonated with the district.

“They had a vision that matched ours,” Koehl said.

STOP BY AND DISCOVER

What May Be Yours

Part of that vision is for Legat to work on a 10-year master facility plan, Koehl said.

Among the community feedback Troy received during its recent redistricting was that the district should evaluate long-term accommodations for students as buildings near capacity.

In order to do that, representation from Legat, as well as Troy stakeholders such as board members, administrators and residents, will form a facilities committee; set meetings; and discuss the district’s facilities vision for the next decade, Koehl said.

Topics will include projected growth and how to meet district needs. The committee will be formed and the meetings will be set in the fall, with an end goal of establishing a master facility plan with options.

Koehl said it is too early to predict the cost to hire Legat or the terms of a future contract. He said no formal bid process was required in the search for a district architect, and that Troy instead issued a request for information.

CREST HILL – Police are investigating a shooting that occurred early Sunday.

“It’s not a normal thing for that neighborhood. We’re trying to follow up on why this happened,” he said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call police at 815-741-5111 and ask for investigations.

Elwood man gets 75 years in toddler’s murder

JOLIET – An Elwood man who killed an 18-month-old girl could get out of prison if he lives to be 99 years old.

Lee K. Ponshe, 32, initially was sentenced to life in prison for the 2009 murder of Halli R. Burton, but the law requiring a mandatory life term because of the victim’s age was declared unconstitutional last year.

Lee K. Ponshe So Judge Daniel Rozak on Tuesday sentenced Ponshe to 75 years behind bars. Ponshe did not make any statement during his court appearance.

Halli’s mother, Jessi Dunlap, was living in downstate White Hall when she met Ponshe online. The then-24-year-old woman and her daughter moved into his house in the 500 block of Beattie Street in Elwood on April 13, 2009.

Two days later, the girl woke up crying and Ponshe beat her to death, investigators said. He initially told police he hadn’t touched her, but later admitted he hit her twice in the head, prosecutors said

By LYNN ELBER

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Steven Hill, a versatile character actor in theater, films and television who achieved his greatest success late in life as grumpy District Attorney Adam Schiff on TV’s long-running “Law & Order,” died Tuesday. He was 94.

He died Tuesday morning at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, said his wife, Rachel. The cause of death was not immediately available, but his wife said he suffered from several ailments.

Hill, who also starred for a season in the 1960s series “Mission Impossible,” was remembered warmly by “Law & Order” producer Dick Wolf.

“Steven was not only one of the truly great actors of his generation, he was one of the most intelligent people I have

Hill had honed his craft in the years immediately after World War II, taking classes at the Actors Studio in New York with Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift.

He made his Broadway debut in 1946 with “A Flag Is Born” and was in the original casts of “Mister Roberts” and “The Country Girl.”

When the TV networks began broadcasting live drama programs during television’s Golden Age, Hill made the transition to the small screen seamlessly, appearing on “Studio One,” “The Ford Theatre Hour,” “Lux Video Theatre,” “Goodyear Television Playhouse” and “The Philco Television Playhouse.”

Later, he appeared on shows including “thirtysomething,” “The Fugitive,” ‘’Rawhide,” “’Ben Casey,” “Dr. Kildare,” “The Untouchables” and “Route 66.”

When “Mission Impossible” debuted

in 1966, he landed a starring role, as undercover team leader Daniel Briggs. But he left after one season when the show’s shooting schedule interfered with his observation of the Jewish Sabbath. He was replaced by Peter Graves. An Orthodox Jew, Hill abandoned acting for a time in the late 1960s to study religion.

He had made his movie debut in 1950 in “A Lady Without Passport” with Hedy Lamarr. Other notable films over the years included “Teachers,” “Brighton Beach Memoirs” and “Legal Eagles.” He also portrayed the father of Christine Lahti in “Running on Empty,” of Meryl Streep in “Heartburn” and Jill Clayburgh in “It’s My Turn.”

Born Solomon Krakovsky to Russian immigrant parents in Seattle, Hill said his interest in acting was ignited at age 6, when he landed the lead in a production of “The Pied Piper of Hamelin.”

ever met. He is also the only actor I’ve known who consistently tried to cut his own lines,” Wolf said in a statement.

Hill recalled in 1999 how his presence as “Law & Order’s” grouchy legal stickler developed gradually during his 10 years with the show.

“It was like a very pleasant back-andforth kind of thing,” he said. “I’d come up with these ideas, give suggestions on [Schiff’s] kind of thinking, and the writers used that as a kind of springboard.”

He also studied up on the law to make his character more believable.

“I believe the audience needs to feel you understand what the heck you’re talking about, and they can tell if you don’t,” he said.

After he left the show in 2000, Hill remained visible on TV for a time as the no-nonsense pitchman in commercials for TD Waterhouse Investor Services.

Rauner signs bill to punish trafficking guns

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Firearm traffickers in Illinois will be punished with sentences of up to 30 years in prison under legislation Gov. Bruce Rauner signed Tuesday, a move aimed at curbing Chicago’s rampant gun violence.

The new law seeks to address a problem that has vexed prosecutors in recent years: criminals skirting Illinois’ strict gun policies by purchasing firearms in other states where little screening is required. Investigators say more than half of the firearms recovered in Illinois crime scenes are traced back to other states.

There have been more than 442 homicides in Chicago so far in 2016 and the vast majority involve firearms, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

There were 468 homicides in all of 2015.

Under the new law, a first conviction for trafficking guns will carry a sentence of four to 20 years in prison. A subsequent offense will be punishable by up to 30 years.

“There’s never been a major focus on

News from across the state Anti-abortion activists file suit over Chicago ‘bubble zone’

CHICAGO – Anti-abortion activists filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday challenging the constitutionality of a Chicago ordinance that stops protesters from getting within 8 feet of people entering health care facilities without their consent.

The activists argue that the ordinance – which is similar to a Colorado law upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court – is vague, confusing and violates their free speech rights with its 8-foot “bubble zone” around people who are within 50 feet of clinic entrances. The buffer zones around hospitals and clinics have become “vast anti-speech zones,” according to the lawsuit.

More than a dozen cities and several states enforce similar zones around clinics with the aim of protecting abortion seekers from intimidation. A 1994 federal law – enacted in response to bombings, arson and violent protests directed at abortion providers – prohibits blocking access to abortion clinics.

who arms the shooter,” said Rep. Jim Durkin, the House Republican leader and a sponsor of the bill. Now, he said, “they’re going to be held accountable and they’re going to be sentenced in a very strong fashion.”

In a statement, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel called the law “a step in the right direction.”

The proposal drew opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union in Illinois, which argued the sentences are too severe and that there is already a federal law on the issue.

But Brandon Nemec, an assistant state’s attorney in Cook County, said the federal law applies only when someone actually transfers a firearm to someone prohibited from possessing one. The new law will allow prosecutors to charge people whom investigators found had “the intent to deliver.”

Durkin said prosecutors can only charge traffickers now for being a felon in possession of a firearm or for not having a gun permit.

“That doesn’t get the job done,” he said. Currently, those offenders can get as little as a year in jail, and as much as

14 years, depending on their criminal history.

Nearly 60 percent of the firearms used in crimes in Chicago were bought in other states, according to a 2014 report from the mayor’s office, which blamed “weaker gun laws” in those places. About 20 percent came from Indiana, where no permit is required to buy firearms and private sellers don’t have to conduct background checks.

Every state in the country supplied at least one gun that was used in a crime in Chicago, the report found. Indiana is the largest supplier, followed by Mississippi and Wisconsin, which are responsible for 6.7 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively.

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

“All of our communities are at risk of gun violence. We in Illinois are suffering,” Rauner, a Republican, said before signing the bill in Chicago. “Our children are at risk, innocent people at risk.”

The Chicago complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, outlines the claims of two anti-abortion groups and four “sidewalk counselors” who want to hand out literature to women seeking abortions.

They allege that Chicago police selectively enforce the ordinance, applying it only to them and not to volunteer escorts who walk with patients and, according to the lawsuit, take away anti-abortion literature patients accept from protesters.

The sidewalk counselors, according to the lawsuit, are peaceful and want to “express their deeply held religious convictions on a matter of great public concern, indeed, a matter of life and death.”

Chicago’s ordinance is similar to a Colorado law that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld in 2000. The law includes an 8-foot no-approach bubble zone within 100 feet of a clinic door.

Chicago’s law “is almost identical to a statute the Supreme Court has already upheld, except that our buffer zone is half the size,” Chicago Law Department spokesman Bill McCaffrey said in an email.

“The city will vigorously defend against this suit.” But attorneys for the anti-abortion activists say the U.S. Supreme Court in 2014 struck down a Massachusetts 35-foot buffer zone law, effectively overruling its earlier decision.

Abortion-rights activists said buffer-zone laws protect women.

CHICAGO – An 8-year-old Chicago girl was shot in the arm as she attended a vigil for a 14-year-old boy who had been fatally shot earlier.

Police said third-grader Jamia Barnes was shot Sunday on the city’s West Side during a vigil for Malik Causey, a friend of her brother who was fatally shot earlier Sunday. Jamia said she felt her arm stinging and she called for her mother when the bullet hit her.

Chicago police said no one is in custody.

Police said a 40-year-old woman was shot in the hand in the same vigil.

Clinton Foundation donors got face time with her at State

By STEPHEN BRAUN and EILEEN SULLIVAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money – either personally or through companies or groups – to the Clinton Foundation. It’s an extraordinary proportion, indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.

Donors who were granted time with Clinton included an internationally known economist who asked for her help as the Bangladesh government pressured him to resign from a nonprofit bank he ran; a Wall Street executive who sought Clinton’s help with a visa problem; and Estee Lauder executives who were listed as meeting with Clinton while her department worked with the firm’s corporate charity to counter gender-based violence in South Africa.

They are among at least 85 of 154 people with private interests who either met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton and also gave to her family’s charities, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million.

The 154 does not include U.S. federal employees or foreign government representatives.

The AP’s findings represent the first systematic effort to calculate the scope of the intersecting interests of Clinton foundation donors and people who met personally with Clinton or spoke to her by phone about their needs.

The meetings between the Democratic presidential nominee and foundation donors do not appear to violate legal agreements Clinton and former President Bill Clinton signed before she joined the State Department in 2009. But the frequency of the overlaps shows the intermingling of access and donations, and fuels perceptions that giving the foundation money was a price of admission for face time with Clinton.

Her calendars and emails released as recently as this week describe scores of contacts she and her top aides had with foundation donors.

Clinton’s campaign said the AP analysis was flawed because it did not include in its calculations meetings with foreign diplomats or U.S. government officials, and the meetings AP examined covered only the first half of Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

“It is outrageous to misrepresent Secretary Clinton’s basis for meeting with these individuals,” spokesman Brian Fallon said. He called it “a distorted portrayal of how often she crossed paths with individuals connected to charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation.”

State Department officials have said they are not aware of any agency actions influenced by the Clinton Foundation. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Tuesday night that there are no prohibitions against agency contacts with “political campaigns, nonprofits

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks Aug. 16 in Philadelphia. or foundations – including the Clinton Foundation.” He added that “meeting requests, recommendations and proposals come to the department through a variety of channels, both formal and informal.”

Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate, Mike Pence, said Tuesday that the overlaps identified by AP were “further evidence of the pay-to-play politics at her State Department” and called for a special prosecutor to investigate.

Last week, the Clinton Foundation moved to head off ethics concerns about future donations by announcing changes planned if she is elected. Those planned changes would not affect more than 6,000 donors who have already provided the Clinton charity with more than $2 billion in funding since its creation in 2000.

“There’s a lot of potential conflicts and a lot of potential problems,” said Douglas White, an expert on nonprofits at Columbia University.

“The point is, she can’t just walk away from these 6,000 donors.”

Fallon said earlier Tuesday that the standard set by the Clinton Foundation’s ethics restrictions was “unprecedented, even if it may never satisfy some critics.”

Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for pioneering low-interest “microcredit” for poor business owners, met with Clinton three times and talked with her by phone during a period when Bangladeshi government authorities investigated his oversight of a nonprofit bank and ultimately pressured him to resign from the bank’s board. Throughout the process, he pleaded for help in messages routed to Clinton, and she ordered aides to find ways to assist him.

Grameen America, the bank’s nonprofit U.S. flagship, which Yunus chairs, has given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the foundation – a figure that bank spokeswoman Becky Asch said reflects the institution’s annual fees to attend CGI meetings. Another Grameen arm chaired by Yunus, Grameen Research, has donated between $25,000 and $50,000.

Obama vows support for La. after ‘cameras leave’

By KEVIN FREKING

The Associated Press

ZACHARY, La. – Standing amid piles of waterlogged debris, President Barack Obama on Tuesday promised a sustained national effort to rebuild flood-ravaged southern Louisiana “even after the TV cameras leave” on a visit aimed in part at stemming campaign-season criticism that he’s been slow to respond to the disaster.

As he toured a battered neighborhood and spoke to local officials, Obama tried to buck up beleaguered residents of the water-soaked region.

“This is not a one-off, this is not a photo-op issue. I need all Americans to stay focused on this,” he said. “I know how resilient the people of Louisiana are, and I know that you will rebuild again.”

Eleven years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, Obama’s visit was a reminder of the political dangers and opportunities natural disasters pose for politicians. The president has been criticized for waiting until after he returned from his New England vacation to tour the Gulf Coast flooding.

The timing, amid a heated presidential campaign, drew barbs from some local officials and Republicans political op-

President Barack Obama walks to greet a family to tour their flood-damaged home Tuesday in the Castle Place neighborhood of Baton Rouge, La. Obama is making his first visit to flood-ravaged southern Louisiana as he tries to assure the many thousands who have suffered damage to their homes, schools and businesses that his administration has made their recovery a priority. ponents, including GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Trump visited Baton Rouge on Friday, enjoying a warm reception and allowing him to cast the president as golfing while Louisianans suffered. It was a sentiment echoed by many in the area, many of whom have said they feel their plight has been ignored by the media.

“Too little too late,” Mona Gaspard said of Obama’s visit. The resident of

Ascension Parish said she saw her home filled with 4 feet of water and resented what she saw from Obama. “I saw him play golf, not helping out over here. Trump was over here, but he wasn’t,” she said.

Others welcomed Obama and the spotlight he brought.

“It means a lot to know you have that support from the highest level,” said Chrisena Brown, as the president sur-

veyed the piles of discarded mattresses, broken appliances and heaps of clothing that line the curbs of her street. The college administrator says she’s staying with family while she cleans up, working late into the night in stifling humidity. Going door to door and trailed by cameras, Obama offered sympathy to residents as they took a break from the cleanup.

“I wish I was coming at a better time,” he told one resident, as he put his arm around her and walked into her home for a brief tour. “But I’m glad to see everybody is safe, at least.”

Obama is hardly new to the potent politics such moments.

As a candidate in 2008, he was a sharp critic of President George W. Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina. And in 2012, the year of his re-election effort, he rushed to Louisiana to show solidarity with victims of Hurricane Isaac.

Now a president eying the end of his second term, Obama was neither emotional nor particularly defensive in relaying his message to residents. He said flatly he doesn’t “worry too much about politics” and that he is focused on improving the speed and efficiency of the federal response.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hospice balloon release inspiring

To the Editor: Kudos to bereavement coordinator Mary Ann Burns, the staff, volunteers and sponsors from Joliet Area Community Hospice for their inspiring annual interfaith bereavement Balloon Release held Aug. 7.

Attendees were given as they checked in a stick-on note paper to write a personal message to attach to the balloon that was distributed following the inside programs.

Entitled “We Remember with Love,” the program started with reflective music followed by a short message from Hospice’s CEO Mary Sheehan. The lighting of four candles followed, representing the four levels of grief.

The song “Light a Candle,” led to a message of hope by Mary Ann Burns. Continuing, Rev. Jim McGuire, the chaplain, then gave a blessing. The inside portion concluded with “Over the Rainbow,” and “Rise Up with Him.” Ushers then assisted the almost 300 people in receiving their balloons, and proceeded to outdoor launch area.

At a predetermined time, with notes affixed, balloons were released while all said, “We Remember With Love,” saying the names of their loved ones.

The purpose of this and all of Joliet Area Community Hospice’s bereavement programs is to help all of us who have lost a relative and/or friend deal with our grief.

We all face loss. Grief is a normal part of that difficult period. Sadness may mellow with time, but loss remains. Joliet Area Community Bereavement programs help us to deal with grief and release the associated psychological pressure that accompanies it.

Our programs are available to all who experience loss. Please call 815-740-4104, or visit www.joliethospice.org for more information.

Thank you to Mary Ann Burns and all the angels at Joliet Area Community Hospice who give us comfort, love and respect and are always there for all of us.

Joliet (JACH Board Member)

Candidate slammed for Rauner’s prison reduction goal You might think that months of bipartisan cooperation on numerous criminal justice reform bills would make that particular topic off limits for partisan campaigns this year.

You’d be wrong.

Gov. Bruce Rauner announced early last year that he wants the state to reduce its prison population by 25 percent over 10 years. He has since signed numerous pieces of legislation during the past year or so to help achieve that goal, including recently, when he signed the marijuana decriminalization bill into law.

For the most part, House Democrats kept their members who are targeted for defeat by Republicans off those bills. The move was both defensive (to prevent their incumbents who represent tight districts from accusations that they are “soft on criminals”), and, as it turns out, offensive.

“In southern Illinois, we value the safety of our neighbors, friends, and families,” begins a recent TV ad by Rep. John Bradley, D-Marion. “So why would anyone want to weaken penalties for dangerous criminals? Dave Severin’s biggest supporter wants to let 25 percent of the state’s prisoners loose into our communities.”

Severin’s “biggest supporter” is obviously Rauner, via his massive $11 million in contributions to the Illinois Republican Party so far this cycle. The

VIEWS Rich Miller state party has funneled much of that cash ($5.9 million as of last week) to the House Republican Organization, according to numbers compiled by Scott Kennedy at Illinois Election Data. Bradley’s opponent Severin reported raising just $9,335 in the second quarter, but HRO has been running ads on his behalf since early June.

So the Severin campaign’s recent denial that its “biggest supporter” (which it claims is actually HRO) has no such position on releasing prisoners is nonsense. But its claim that Bradley’s ad is reminiscent of the infamous 1988 “Willie Horton” advertisement is pretty close to being true. Horton, you will recall, was given a weekend furlough from a Massachusetts prison and didn’t come back. In the meantime, he committed murder, armed robbery and rape. The Democratic presidential nominee in 1988 was Michael Dukakis, who was governor at the time of Horton’s escape. He supported the furlough program and was ultimately blamed for Horton’s rampage in a devastating ad that benefited President George H.W. Bush.

Unlike the Horton spot, Bradley’s

ad doesn’t mention any specific crimes committed by released prisoners. But there was hope in some circles that these sorts of ads would become a thing of the past in Illinois. A newspaper op-ed co-written by Sen. Kwame Raoul earlier this year cited poll results showing 74 percent of Illinoisans believe our criminal justice system is “broken.”

“While some have questioned whether Governor Rauner’s goal to reduce incarceration by 25 percent is politically achievable,” Raoul wrote, “it turns out that the voters actually support far-reaching policies that can make a real difference in reducing the number of persons held in Illinois’ prisons.”

Indeed, another poll conducted recently for the Rauner-allied Illinois Policy Institute found that 56 percent of Illinoisans believe that the criminal justice system is “unfair.” And more than 80 percent said politicians should support criminal-justice reforms “such as community supervision, mandatory drug testing and treatment programs – instead of prison – that reduce the likelihood the offender would commit a new crime.”

“A generation of candidates for public office have come of age worried about being the subject of a ‘Willie Horton’ advertisement,” Raoul wrote in that March 15 op-ed with Republican state Sen. Karen McConnaughay.

“Now it seems that we have public

support, political agreement and momentum on our side to fix our broken criminal justice system.”

So if this TV barrage is successful, will it halt the governor’s policy momentum?

Raoul told me last week he hoped it wouldn’t. But, he warned, it “ain’t going to be easy” to pass more comprehensive legislation as it is, so he’s worried about the potential impact.

Incumbents who are targeted for defeat are rarely part of a controversial “solution” in Springfield – and Bradley has most definitely become a target since Rauner’s election. The heavy lifting at the Statehouse is usually done by those who don’t have to worry too much about electoral opposition. Rauner’s vast cash reserves can help comfort wary Republicans, and it’s highly doubtful that “safe” Democrats will ever draw a primary opponent over an issue like this.

Political organizations always use what works best in campaigns and this issue apparently polls well enough to include it in a TV spot, so that just might give some folks pause if Bradley wins and the issue is successfully deployed in other legislative campaigns. Let’s hope not.

You have to keep up with the Joneses.”

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400, of course, will be the first race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. After winning the rain-delayed race Sunday at Bristol, Harvick has two victories and is leading the driver standings by 27 points over Brad Keselowski, a fourtime winner this season.

A consistently strong finisher (18 top 10s, in fact) despite a few late-race misfortunes that might have cost him at least a few more victories, Harvick has 762 points to Keselowski’s 735. Kurt

Busch (692), Carl Edwards (689), Joey Logano (684), Kyle Busch (674), Denny Hamlin (659), Martin Truex Jr. (630), Jimmie Johnson (612) and Matt Kenseth (604) round out the top 10. Sixteen drivers will qualify for the Chase.

After his victory at Bristol, Harvick was quoted as saying, “We knew we had the performance that we needed to have in the cars pretty much every week.

And it’s been one of those deals where things have not just gone exactly right.

But to have the win now and just try to get that momentum before we get into the Chase and get things rolling is exactly what we needed.”

There may have been a few bumps in the road, but one way or another, Harvick can be counted on to finish at or near the top. He won the championship in 2014 and in the last six years he has been third, third, eighth, third, first and second. Not only is he No. 1 in 2016, the Chase will begin at a track where he has enjoyed considerable success.

The only drawback to returning here may be the title sponsor.

“The Turtles, my son (Keelan) is scared to death of them,” Harvick joked.

“I may need to leave him home.”

Then he added, “No, he has gotten over that phobia.”

Tuesday, his car was parked in the same garage with the more familiar names of the sport such as Penske and Petty.

“A lot of what you learn today is just general concepts, what you want your car to do,” Smith said. “How you want it to look on the racetrack, the data. But this track is going to change a lot by the time we come back here. You’ve got an ARCA race, a truck race, an Xfinity race. You’ll have a lot of cars on the racetrack, so this place is going to be rubbered in. The line we’re running today, we may not use when we come

back here. Or it may work exactly the same way. You still learn a lot every time you’re testing.”

For Smith, simply being on the track allows him to feel more comfortable next month. The way he feels at some other ovals.

“More so than anything, there are some tracks that certain drivers go to and they feel good about getting there,” Smith said. “They know what they want to do and they’re usually fast there.

“Then there are some tracks where for whatever reason it doesn’t always click. Those are the places where you work hard on and focus on. That

evolves as the years go on. For me, it used to be Richmond. Now, I love going there. It’s one of my favorites on the schedule, but took some time to get to that point.

“I’m looking forward to Chicago getting to that point.”

There are miles to go before that happens.

“It’s moving in the right direction,” Smith said. “We’ve had good runs with Xfinity cars. We’ll have a top five, whatever it is, then follow it up with a 12th and scratch our head and wonder what the heck happened. It’s been hit or miss, but I feel it’s getting consistently better.”

JOLIET – Here’s an example of how time flies.

Kevin Harvick was among the several NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers at Chicagoland Speedway on Tuesday for a long day of testing in preparation for the Sept. 18 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400.

Harvick won the inaugural Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland, the Tropicana 400, in 2001 and repeated here in 2002.

Can the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 400 really be the 15th anniversary race at Chicagoland in the world’s premier stock car series?

“2001, that’s a long time ago,” Harvick said with a smile shortly after noon as he took a break from the testing that was expected to last until about 9 p.m. The testing originally was scheduled to continue Wednesday, but the Wednesday weather forecast caused a change in plans.

“But,” Harvick continued, “there is something about that. I still have the trophy and I won. You can always say you won an inaugural race, and nobody can take that away from you because there is only one first one.”

Harvick said there other favorite memories of racing at Chicagoland.

“One is spinning out in 2002 and coming back and winning the race,” he said. “The other is the time the big orange Tropicana ball went bouncing down the front stretch.”

Harvick, the 2001 Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year who replaced Dale Earnhardt Sr. after he was killed at the 2001 Daytona 500, has treated Chicagoland like a home track. He not only won the two early Sprint Cup races here, but also three Xfinity Series races, and he has had other high finishes in both series.

“I always look forward to coming back here,” he said, suggesting a certain comfort level.

26 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: MOTHER McAULEY 25-25, JOLIET CATHOLIC 22-13

Quick start not enough for Angels

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It was just the type of start that Christine Scheibe was hoping for from her Joliet Catholic Academy girls volleyball team in Tuesday’s season opener against Mother McAuley.

The Angels were playing well as they jumped out to a 20-15 lead in the initial set and looked like they might grab the early advantage in the nonconference match.

But the Mighty Macs staged a big rally to capture the opener and then jumped out to a large cushion in the finale as they claimed a 25-22, 25-13 victory in their debut.

McAuley (1-0) finished the first set with a 10-2 run and then scored 17 of the first 22 points in the last set to complete a 27-7 spurt against JCA (0-1).

While the Angels coach would have preferred a better ending, she was encouraged by the start and hopes that type of effort is reflective of how her team can perform this year.

“During the first 20 points, we were playing fantastic,” Scheibe said.

“I think if we’re able to channel what we did in those first 20 points and just

build on that and be able to do that more consistently, then we’re going to be fine this season. We don’t have the size, so we’re going to have to do the little things correctly, and we were doing all of those things right at the beginning. If we execute, pass the ball to target and run an offense, we’ll be fine.

“We always know that we’re in for a match with McAuley. They’ve got a couple of real big hitters who can go up and pound the ball and they played much better defense later in the match.

It’s always a good test to match up with them in the first game of the season because now we know what we need to work on, and we also saw our potential and where we can be.”

With eight players returning from last year’s squad that finished second in Class 3A, and one who played on the back-to-back 3A second-place squads – Taylor Zurliene – the potential is there for JCA to be able to make another long run in the playoffs.

“I think that there’s a lot of things to build on,” Scheibe said. “Now that Taylor’s a senior, her four years of varsity experience are really showing. Sarah (Nahas) was on the floor last year, and now she’s getting to run the show. I’ve

only really got one senior on the floor, so this is kind of a building time for us and we’re just hoping that by the end of the season that if we can build on those first 20 points tonight, we’ll be fine by the end of the season.

“These girls are competitive and they aren’t quitters. We’ve seen that with them coming up through the lower levels. They’re fighters and they find ways to win matches. So now it’s just a matter of getting this first game under our belts and now finding ways to win matches.”

In the opener, JCA used a 5-0 run with Zurliene (10 kills, seven points) at the service line to grab a 14-9 lead.

Beside Zurliene’s ace, Sarah Nahas (15 assists, six digs) and Emmie Naal both added kills. Macaire Kelley also chipped in with six digs for the Angels.

Kills from Emily Holbrook (four kills) and Nahas made it 18-14 and after a hitting error made it a five-point margin, Zurliene collected a kill to give the hosts a 20-15 lead.

But McAuley stormed back as Charley Niego got a pair of kills, Bridget Burke recorded a kill and was in on a block, and Nancy Kane served up an ace to highlight the comeback.

It was more of the same at the start of the final set as Emma Reilly served up the initial five points with Niego and Abby O’Brien supplying kills.

Kills by Niego ad Kaitlyn O’Connell made it 15-5 and Kane shared a block with Mary Kate Boland before getting a kill to make it 17-5.

“In that first game we came out with so much energy and passion that we were really able to control the tempo of the game up until 20 points,” Nahas said. “Now we know that we always have to come in with major energy and keep the tempo fast. McAuley is definitely one of the best teams that we’ll run across. Being able to play against them and compete, it really was eye-opening about what we can do.

Now we really know what we need to work on.

“The group of girls that we have on this team is amazing. I’m so blessed that I’m able to work with girls who want to come to the gym every day and get better. The girls on this team push me a little bit farther each day. It’s a great feeling to know that if you’re slacking off a bit that the person next to you is going to call you out and tell you that you have to pick it up.”

FRONTIER LEAGUE: SLAMMERS 6, WINDY CITY 1

Slammers take care of business vs. Windy City

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers entered Tuesday night’s series opener against the Windy City Thunderbolts at Silver Cross Field with the thought of keeping things simple in the stretch run.

“The funny thing about the playoffs, the more we bring it up, the more we seem to press,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “So we’re just going about business as usual.”

The Slammers heeded the message on this night. Joliet knocked off Windy City, 6-1, behind left-hander Sean Townsley. Pending the result of the second game of the Washington-Traverse City doubleheader, that Slammers extended their lead in the Frontier League East to 3½ games with 12 remaining. Joliet will visit Washington this weekend.

The way the standings stack up, the two wild-card playoff teams could both come from the West, with the division champion the only representative from the East. The Slammers, though, have

no intention of finishing anywhere but on top.

“It’s in our hands still,” Isom said.

“It’s not easy, but we knew it wouldn’t be. We have to take care of business each day. I’ve been telling the guys to enjoy the process, and I think they are.”

Joliet (45-39) got off to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Alfredo Rodriguez led off with a single to left, moved to third on an errant throw on a pickoff try, and scored on Jake Gronsky’s single.

Windy City tied it, 1-1, in the top of the second inning, but Zarley Zalewski put the Slammers back ahead with a one-out, solo home run to the opposite field in the bottom of the inning. Charlie White followed with a single, Marc Flores walked with two outs, and after White swiped third for his 28th steal, Gronsky delivered his second run-scoring single.

“We have a talented lineup,” Isom said.

Gronsky, who drove in another run on a hard-hit fielder’s choice in a giftwrapped, three-run sixth for his 62nd RBI, entered the game hitting .292. Car-

ter Bell was at .326 with 69 RBIs, Rodriguez at .290 with 21 stolen bases and Flores at .287 with 59 RBIs. Zalewski came in hitting .277 in 65 at bats. The homer was his third.

The most recent addition to the lineup is Mike Garza, a big stick in the Slammers’ 2015 attack. Isom said Garza stayed home for work reasons this summer and had been on the Slammers’ suspended list. He has had 22 official at bats.

“We knew this was a situation where a guy sits out awhile, and it takes awhile to get back,” Isom said. “Once he gets going completely, once he knocks all the rust off, you’ll see him back in the middle of the lineup.”

Garza hit in the 6-hole Tuesday and went 0 for 4. Defensively, he is playing first base, although he played third base much of last season.

“We’ll keep Jake (Gronsky) at third base,” Isom said. “He’s doing a good job there.”

Catcher Joe Staley joined Gronsky with a two-hit game. His single ignited the three-run sixth and he also doubled to the left-center field gap.

Townsley worked the first six innings, allowing a run on three hits. He struck out six, including Windy City’s 3-4 hitters, Coco Johnson and Ranson LaLonde, in each of their first two atbats.

Left-hander Zach Hirsch pitched the seventh and eighth innings, allowing no runs on one hit. Lefty Brent Choban closed it out in the ninth, allowing a double and walk and striking out two.

“Pitching is the key,” Isom said in regard to the playoff push. “You get good starting pitching, and you have a chance to win.

“We’ve been hot with the bats at times, cold at times. We’ve had some good pitching and some bad. We want to get back to that stretch we had where both were good.”

Of course, if the Slammers have been up and down, so has the entire Frontier League.

“It’s been a weird season that way,” Isom said. “It isn’t only us, every team in the league has been streaky. Everyone can win six or seven in a row and can lose six or seven.”

Bears defensive lineman Mitch Unrein lines up against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 1 at Soldier Field. he said.

What wasn’t comfortable for Unrein was September 2010, after he was waived by the Texans. He spent six weeks at his parents’ house, balancing training with working a part-time job cleaning sewer lines.

“It was a very humbling job, that’s for sure,” Unrein said.

Of all the roadblocks in his football career that have led to motivation,

those six weeks resonate most.

“I called my agent and said, ‘I don’t know how much longer I can sit at home and just wait for a call,’” Unrein recalled. “… When I finally got that call from Denver, that’s when it was like, ‘OK, I’m getting another opportunity and I’m not letting it slip by.’ That’s when it really dawned on me, those six weeks at home.

Floyd returns; Langford, Long, Trevathan still out

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears still have an injury list that is far from ideal, but they did get four players back at practice Tuesday in a limited fashion.

Senorise Perry, Cornelius Washington, Ben Braunecker and Leonard Floyd all returned. Floyd had just missed Sunday’s Leonard Floyd session, but Perry and Washington had been out for almost two weeks, while an ankle had kept Braunecker on the sideline since the beginning of camp.

The Bears do have a “little bit of a bug going around,” coach John Fox

said, as Kieren Duncan and Jarrett Grace did not practice because of an illness.

Starters Kyle Long, Jeremy Langford, Danny Trevathan and Bryce Callahan all remained on the “did not practice” list, along with Deon Bush, De’Vante Bausby, Kyle Fuller, Derek Keaton, Nick Kwiatkoski, Deonte Thompson and Tony Moeaki.

Lamin Barrow did not finish practice beKyle Long cause of a foot injury.

Jonathan Bullard was excused from practice – he also missed Sunday for personal reasons – but Fox expects the rookie to be available for Saturday’s game against the Chiefs.

Goldman’s improvement: A sto-

ryline to follow throughout the 2016 season will be the impact Eddie Goldman can make in Year 2, something the Bears are expecting. “[Goldman] grew a lot last year as a rookie, and I’ve seen that same growth so far even in the preseason games, albeit in limited play,” Fox said. “He got about 10 plays in the first week and then about 15 last week, so hopefully he’ll get a few more plays, kind of get him in full-game condition, but I like his progress.”

The nose tackle said he feels faster this season because he lost some weight, and he feels more comfortable with the playbook, which should help him get a Year 2 jump.

High expectations for D-line: The defensive line is a revamped group and one that has performed well this summer. Mitch Unrein explains why

there is a lot of potential.

“Akiem Hicks, he’s just been a force in there from the get-go. He’s very energetic, a very physical player, and everyone feeds off that on the D-line,” Unrein said. “Eddie, he had a great rookie year, and I think the sky’s the limit for him this year.

“And then Bullard, you can see on film right away, even during OTAs, how quick he is for being a bigger guy. His get-off and his recognition of different blocks and stuff, he doesn’t look like a rookie is what I’m trying to say. He looks like a three- or fouryear vet out there already. I think he’s going to be great for us throughout the year.

“As long as we can work together, keep on improving every single day, every game, I think we’re going to be tough up front.”

• Wednesday, August 24, 2016

LAKE FOREST – Mitch Unrein is finally comfortable. Well, as comfortable as someone can be in the NFL on a two-year contract. That’s the way he describes his state this summer after getting to stay with the Bears, spending OTAs and training camp with the first-team defensive line.

A two-year deal in San Diego should have provided that, but he was released after two games last season, only to be quickly scooped up by the Bears and his former coach John Fox. “Last year was kind of a tough year for me,” Unrein said after Tuesday’s practice. “I signed a two-year deal out in San Diego; they ended up releasing me; on the same day I get released, I get picked up here. That was kind of a whirlwind of a season.

“Getting thrown into the defense, you don’t have OTAs to ease into learning everything, I was kind of thrown into the fire. It was nice to have that time during OTAs (this year) and everything like that to learn this and get used to it.”

Unrein is a former walk-on at the University of Wyoming and undrafted player who spent a year on the Broncos’ practice squad.

“It sounds so cliché, but I’ve always hung my hat on being a hard worker,”

football.’”

Now in his seventh NFL season, Unrein is as comfortable as ever.

“I’m just starting to really settle into my role,” he said. “I’m finding out what kind of player I really am and just trying to let those attributes shine. My D-line coach (Jay Rodgers), I’ve been with him for a while, so he knows what I’m good at and what I’m not good at, so we try to focus on perfecting what I am good at.” “... I’m not the flashiest guy out there. I’m not the fastest, quickest guy by any means. I always know where I need to be, what I need to do and how to do it, and that’s what Coach Fox always preaches for everyone,” he said.

“As long as you can do those three things every single play, you can be a very successful player in the league.”

Unrein’s ascent is probably more noticeable where it matter most – in the meeting rooms and the film rooms, where it’s recognized by coaches and teammates to the point where the former walk-on and practice squad player is now a leader on the defensive line.

“Mitch, he’s a smart guy,” Eddie Goldman said. “It’s to the point where he could tell me and Akiem (Hicks) our assignments while we’re about to snap the ball. He calls out formations and stuff like that. That’s a good thing to have.”

Park and Pak share Schuler wins race legacy in South Korea at Grundy speedway

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – Se Ri Pak could hear the burst of noise from 500 yards away and it wasn’t hard to figure out what was causing the commotion.

Inbee Park had made one last birdie.

Pak could hear it from the back of the 18th green at Olympic Golf Course. She was the team leader for South Korea at the Olympics, the player who inspired a nation that has become the most formidable in women’s golf. Park with Inbee Park a gold medal around her neck only affirmed that.

Long ago, in another big moment for women’s golf in South Korea, their roles were reversed.

Park was fast asleep in her apartment outside Seoul when she was jarred awake in the middle of the night. The 9-year-old girl came downstairs to find her parents in front of the TV, cheering wildly as Pak won the 1998 U.S. Women’s Open at Blackwolf Run, a landmark moment for golf in South Korea.

Two days later, Park wrapped her hands around a golf club for the first time.

Ten years later, she was the youngest U.S. Women’s Open champion ever.

That was the first of seven majors for Park, and a big reason why this year she became the youngest player (27) to qualify for the LPGA Hall of Fame. Her most recent major was the Women’s British Open last year to complete the career Grand Slam.

And now she’s an Olympic champion.

“I’ve won majors, but I haven’t won a gold medal,” Park said after her fiveshot victory over Lydia Ko, the No. 1 player in women’s golf. “So this feels very, very special, nothing I want to exchange. ... Being able to receive the gold medal on the golf course was an unforgettable moment.”

She had been coping with a ligament injury in her left thumb that led her to take two months off from the LPGA Tour – including the U.S. Women’s Open and her title defense at the Women’s British Open – to get ready for the Olympics. She wanted to test her thumb in competition, so she played a Korean LPGA event and missed the cut.

All that did was spark chatter that she should give up her spot in Rio to another South Korean, and it created

unnecessary confusion and doubt for Park.

She responded with a quiet determination.

“I really wanted to do well this week to show a lot of people that I can still play,” Park said.

But this victory was more than just validation.

An Olympic gold medal, particularly under these circumstances, should allow Park to take her place among the best in LPGA history.

Think about it. She had not faced top competition in two months and had not broken par in any round since April, the last time she even finished a tournament. She wasn’t sure she could play the Olympics amid speculation she might not ever play again, especially after she fulfilled her final requirement in June for the Hall of Fame.

“There was nothing guaranteed because I haven’t played that well this season, and I haven’t really played that many events with the injury,” Park said. “So I had to overcome a lot of obstacles.”

And then over four days in Rio, it was as if she had never left.

She was one shot behind after the first round to Ariya Jutanugarn, the No. 2 player in the world with four victories and a major this year. She had a one-shot lead over Stacy Lewis, her rival from two years ago. She played in the final group with Ko, another fourtime winner and major champion this year.

None had a chance.

Park kept the ball in play and let her putter do the rest.

“Inbee Park is the coolest individual,” said Peter Dawson, the former R&A chief who now is president of the International Golf Federation. “And I think she is the best putter in the world, male or female.”

Park wants to start a family, so maybe retirement is closer than she lets on.

She said on a couple of occasions last week that she had no retirement plans.

Then again, how much longer Park plays is no longer relevant.

She already has earned a spot in the same conversation as Pak. There will never be another like Pak, whose legacy goes beyond her five majors and 25 victories on the LPGA Tour. She was the pioneer, whose exploits woke up a little girl in South Korea and inspired greatness.

Just to be alongside her speaks to what Park has achieved.

STAFF REPORT MORRIS – Even a week’s delay didn’t slow down Larry Schuler last Friday night.

In the seventh annual 94-lap Frank Welch Memorial Late Model race at Grundy County Speedway, Schuler dominated most of the race, leading laps 19 to 71 and then retaking the lead for the final circuits to beat Scott Tomasick by less than a second for the checkered flag.

Joe Vinachi finished third, while Josh Nelms was fourth and Nathan Bertino took fifth. Points leader Anthony Danta finished sixth in the main event, with Tony Scalpelli Jr., James Gregait, Ryan Finley and Dean Patterson rounding out the top 10.

In the 25-lap Mid-American feature, Ron Vandermeier Jr. won by more than a second over Kevin Gentile to strengthen his season points lead. Jim Kachel finished third, followed by Geoff VeZain, Kevin Murphy, Cody Clubb, Mike Slabanak, Marty McKinney, Mike Terrafino and Cody Clougherty.

In the 25-lap Street Stock feature race, Randy Weese led the charge to the checkered, followed by Tim Stewart and points leader John Senerchia.

Christy Penrod finished fourth, with Mike Wienc fifth. Michael Gerike, Ken Benson, Chris Mihalski, Craig Matteson and Zac Sontag rounded out the top 10.

In the 15-lap 4-Cylinder race, Dan Schmeissing edged out Kyle Royster by 0.1 seconds to win. Points leader Michael Tobuch finished third, followed by Bryce Leake, Seth Blommaert, Trevor Stanek, Scott Gagen, Dylan Marshall, Scott Ingram and Zachary Latimer.

In the Super Cups 15-lap main event, Jamie Domski beat Trevor Addams to the finish line by 0.25 seconds to win. Noah Eisenhower finished third, followed by Dallas Frueh, Maggie Struthers, Steve Naples, Lucas Schmitt, Alex Irkman and Michael Mucha.

Races are scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights at Grundy County Speedway. Friday night will be First Responders Night as all police, firefighters and first responders will get in free with a badge or ID. Gates open at 5 p.m. with the first race at 7. Cost is $5 per person; children 11-under are free.

Taste the best of summer Try a quick way to infuse tomatoes right into your pasta

By JOE YONAN

The Washington Post It’s so easy to take advantage of summer’s tomato bounty: The triple-S rotation of sandwiches, salads and soups will dispatch the beauties effectively and deliciously. And then there’s pasta. Even when the weather is so unbearably hot I resist bringing a pot of water to boil, I can’t keep tomatoes separate from noodles for too long; the marriage is too right.

Speed is key. I like my summertime pasta-with-tomatoes dishes to come together in as little time as possible, which cuts down on that boiling-pot steam but also keeps the tomatoes tasting bright and fresh.

That’s where angel-hair pasta (capellini) comes in, cooking to tenderness in just a few minutes.

The sauce is little more than ripe tomatoes, chopped and cooked down with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar (just to bring out the best in the fruit). After it thickens – which can happen in as little as 15 minutes or as long as a half-hour, depending on the texture and juiciness of the fruit and the size of your saucepan – you stir in a fistful of chopped basil and a little butter, which pulls it all together.

That capellini comes with another bonus: When you finish cooking it in the sauce, it absorbs some, meaning you get fabulous tomato flavor in every bite.

Use the best tomatoes you can find, ripe and fragrant, and don’t skip the pat of butter, which helps pull everything together.

Perfect Pomodoro Sauce With Capellini 6 to 8 servings

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 4 to 5 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed Pinch freshly ground black pepper 2 pounds ripe red tomatoes, stemmed, hulled and chopped (about 5 cups), including their juices 1 teaspoon sugar, plus more as needed 1 pound dried capellini (angel-hair pasta) 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped, plus a few small whole leaves for optional garnish 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (may substitute non-dairy butter) Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the garlic (to taste), salt and pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not burned, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If you burn the garlic, use a slotted spoon to scoop it out of the oil and proceed; if you leave it in, it will ruin the sauce.) Add the tomatoes and their juices and the sugar; cook until reduced and thickened, 15 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, depending on the juiciness of the tomatoes. Taste, and add more salt and/or sugar, as needed.

While the sauce is cooking, prepare the pasta: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the pasta and cook until just under-done, about 1

minute before the cooking time recommended in the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

Return the pasta to its (now empty) pot.

Check on your sauce. If you like it chunky, leave it as is. Or pulse it a few times using an immersion (stick) blender, to make it smoother. Stir in the chopped basil and butter.

Pour into the cooked capellini; use tongs to incorporate it and coat the pasta. Let the capellini finish cooking in the sauce over medium heat until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste, and add a little more salt, as needed. If the sauce has become too thick,

stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water at a time until you like the consistency.

Serve right away, garnished with a few basil leaves, if desired.

Lead levels in drinking water vary Dear Dr. K: Like a lot of people, I was shocked by the water disaster in Flint, Michigan. I felt terrible for those people.

But then I started to wonder: How safe is my drinking water? Should I be worried?

Dear Reader: The sad answer to your question is I don’t know, and neither may your local department of public health.

Until a little more than a hundred years ago, the world’s lead virtually was all buried in the ground, where nature put it.

Then it was extracted from the earth and added to gasoline and paint, and turned into pipes, solder for pipes and plumbing fixtures. Automobiles put lead into the air. Paint peeling from walls was tasted by toddlers and, because lead tastes sweet, was tasted again. And lead appeared in the drinking water.

Governments (although not most citizens) have known about this problem since the turn of the 20th century. However, only in recent decades has any action been taken. Lead now is banned in gasoline and paint. The Clean Water Act of 1972 and the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 have reduced, but not eliminated, lead in U.S. drinking water.

As a result, lead in our environment has been reduced. In addition, the number of children with toxic levels of lead in their blood has dropped. That’s the good news.

The bad news is there still are half a million children in the United States with high blood levels of lead. Every one of those children is at risk for permanent brain damage.

The situation in Flint is unusual. An entirely new water supply was provided to the city. The quality of the water was not rigorously checked. When the new water was found to be leaching lead out of the pipes and into the drinking water, a protective chemical was not added. There

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff are many credible charges, not yet tested in court, local, state and federal government officials did not take action when the problem was brought to their attention.

Yet Flint is far from unique. Lead pollution of the water supply has been found in Newark, New Jersey; Cleveland and Sebring, Ohio; New York City; and Jackson, Mississippi. Recently, the drinking fountains in four schools in Boston were shut down because of high lead levels.

Does this mean other cities can breathe a sigh of relief? Does it mean the rest of Boston’s schools can rest easy? Unfortunately, too often it means the water supply hasn’t been checked thoroughly – so we simply don’t know. That’s because there hasn’t been enough money allocated for public health.

Consider contacting your local department of public health and asking two questions. First: What are the lead levels in my community’s water, and when were they last measured? Second: What percentage of adults and children in my community have unacceptably high blood lead levels?

If the employees there say they don’t know, or if they do know and you don’t like the answers, I’d suggest asking your representatives in the state and federal governments what they think should be done. There are half a million children who deserve an answer.

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

concept of open marriage? Do you approve?

Disapprove? When Kate invited you into her marriage – which is what she and her husband did – the dynamic of your longtime friendship was changed. If you still felt the same about her, you wouldn’t be writing to me.

If you can get past this, you still can be friends. But on some level your relationship will never be as it was before she crossed that boundary.

Dear Abby: I recently moved in with “Tim,” a man I have been dating for more than a year.

We’re very much in love and plan to be married one day. My problem is he keeps getting phone calls from old girlfriends. This morning someone called, but hung up when I picked up the phone.

Until now, I have trusted Tim completely.

Now I’m afraid perhaps we acted too soon in moving in together.

Tim always has remained friends with all of his girlfriends after their relationships ended.

He says they are nothing more than friends now. I think he should have finalized his previous romances before I moved in. I believe he should take the initiative in contacting these women and ask them to respect our relationship by not calling.

How can I handle this without giving him an ultimatum? – Upset In Seattle Dear Upset: If, after one hang-up, you are questioning Tim’s commitment to you, you’re being unfair. It’s possible the hang-up was a wrong number or a telemarketing call and nothing more.

Ask yourself what it is about a hang-up on the telephone that has made you feel so vulnerable. You knew after you had dated Tim for a while he’s the type of person who maintains friendships after the romance fizzles. Relax.

And remember the person he invited to share the nest and build a future with was you.

Recently, Kate, her husband and I were on an outing when they mentioned a ménage a trois. It was obvious to me they have done this before. Kate has been my closest friend for years, but I realize now there’s a side to her I never knew.

My resistance to their suggestion seems to have had no effect on her, yet I’m wrestling with my feelings. I’m trying to ignore this and maintain the friendship we had before, but it has been difficult. I wish I had never known, but now that I do, I need help sorting it out. –

Joliet Garage Sale August 26 & 27 Fri & Sat Many Christmas Items

Joliet Garage Sale THURS, FRI, SAT 7-1PM

Joliet Garage Sale THURS, FRI, SAT 9-4 Emmeline Pankhurst, who was the most well-known English suffragette, said, “We are here, not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers.”

Yesterday, we looked at the “law” for a defender who is long in trumps: Try to make declarer ruff; do not look for ruffs yourself. Does that also apply in today’s deal, where South is in four hearts?

In the auction, South had no particular reason to rebid three clubs.

If the opponents did compete to four spades, he planned to double.

His hand did not suggest it would be necessary to go to the five-level, especially with that dangerous doubleton spade, which surely meant two immediate losers.

West was tempted to make a speculative double of four hearts, and if he had held the heart ace instead of the diamond ace, it would have been reasonable.

West, whose partner surely has no entry card, should lead off with his three top spades. What should South do next?

If trumps are 3-2, South can ruff the third spade, draw trumps, drive out the diamond ace, and claim 10 tricks via five hearts, one diamond and four clubs. But what if hearts are 4-1? Then declarer must be careful.

After ruffing at trick three, he should cash dummy’s two high trumps, the honors from the shorter side first.

When the 4-1 break comes to light, South must establish his diamond winner while there is still a trump on the board. West can take declarer’s diamond king with his ace and lead another spade, but South ruffs in the dummy, plays a club to his hand, draws West’s remaining trumps, and claims.
