Judge rules against Joliet City Council redistricting referendum

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A judge ruled Wednesday that a referendum to restructure the Joliet City Council should not be placed on the November ballot.

Will County Judge John Anderson in his opinion described the referendum as “defective on its face” because it called for the redistricting plan to take effect before a map for the new districts could be drawn.

“It is readily apparent that the referendum is convoluted, self-contradictory, and does not provide a clear choice to voters,” Anderson wrote. “It is therefore unconstitutional.”

Anderson cited case law and the Illinois Constitution, saying that a referendum needs to stand “on its own terms” to be put on the ballot.

Concerned Citizens of Joliet filed petitions with 5,000 signatures calling for the elimination of three at-large council positions, which represent the entire city, and the creation of three new districts.

The referendum stated that if it were approved, the city would need to redraw the council map to reflect eight districts

by December 2017. The referendum also called for the council structure to be in place by the April 4, 2017 election. But candidates can begin taking out petitions to run for office later this month, meaning they would begin seeking election without knowing whether the referendum would eliminate the office they were seeking.

A lawyer for Concerned Citizens of Joliet called the contradiction a “typo” during a hearing last week and asked Anderson to let the referendum go on the ballot as is. The attorney, Neil Conrad, said that the referendum, if approved, would apply to the first election for which maps could be drawn instead of the April election.

Anderson wrote, “it is not at all evident that the conflicting dates are indeed the result of a typographical error.” He also stated that he did not have the authority to change the language of the referendum, as Conrad suggested was pos-

sible, to eliminate the contradiction in language.

The language of the referendum was on the petitions that were circulated for signatures.

Anderson’s decision was issued late Wednesday afternoon.

Concerned Citizens of Joliet could not be immediately reached for comment.

Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots filed the lawsuit that resulted in Anderson’s opinion as a means of seeking court direction on the referendum because of the language.

Conrad argued that Voots had no authority to question content of a referendum but only to ensure that it met the technical requirements of the law. But in his opinion, Anderson said Voots had the authority to determine that the referendum was invalid without seeking a court opinion.

“No lawsuit was required, although conversely, it was not improper for her [to] file one out of conscientiousness and an abundance of caution,” Anderson wrote.

LOOKING FOR FACTS AND ACTS VenuWorks transition team getting a grasp on Rialto

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A VenuWorks transition team is on what they call a “fact-finding mission” as they get a grasp of the possibilities and problems of the Rialto Square Theatre.

VenuWorks was hired last month as the third-party management team to guide the Rialto out of a financial morass and into a brighter future – one with more shows at the beloved downtown theater.

“My first goal is just booking available dates – getting shows here to get people into the building,” Interim Director Timothy Berry said.

Berry has been at the Rialto since Sept. 1 and said there have been some good signs.

One is that “the phone has been ringing,” he said. “I’ve had several phone calls from people saying, ‘What dates are available?’ ” He even had to turn down a comedy act because the promoter wanted the same date as a show already scheduled. Despite a stagnant five months when the Rialto stopped booking shows during a management restructuring that eventually led to the decision to hire VenuWorks, the theater is not exactly dead, which, Berry said, is what many people think.

“The perception out there is that the place is dark 24/7,” he said.

Changing perceptions in the local community and in the entertainment industry is important, said Tricia

Laraway students meet NASCAR racer, get tickets

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Students at Laraway School District 70C got to ask NASCAR driver John Hunter Nemechek any question they wanted Wednesday.

Standing before a crowd of students inside a school gym, Nemechek was asked by one of them if he ever gets scared when he’s driving.

He said safety innovations in racing has come a long way, but he has been scared a couple of times, especially when he is spinning sideways.

“Normally, when you’re going that fast, it doesn’t feel that fast until something starts happening,” he said.

But Nemechek was there to do more than field questions from students curious about racing. He announced they would receive tickets to watch him Sept. 16 compete for his place in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase.

“Hopefully you guys will see me in victory lane,” he said to the students.

Nemechek said it was cool to come out to District 70C and get the younger generation enthused about racing.

“Hopefully, every one of them

Chicagoland Speedway officials also were at District 70C to talk about the Racing to Read program, which kicked off this week, according to the company’s news release. The program encourages students in sixth through eighth grade to read frequently and efficiently.

Throughout this school year, students will work to read as many articles as possible through Achieve, an online program that engages learners by appealing to their reading level, according to Chicagoland Speedway.

The program is able to consistently challenge students and improve their literacy.

ties between Chicagoland Speedway and District 70C, which is roughly 2 miles from the speedway.

Laraway Principal Aaron Ventsias said the district is lucky to have this kind of relationship with Chicagoland Speedway and for an opportunity to team up to promote reading.

“We are very thankful that the speedway is gracious enough to provide our students with the opportunity to actually get to see the race-

track,” Ventsias said.

Chicagoland Speedway President Scott Paddock said to students that the company was proud of the impact it has on the local community. He told them how he had a good education that enabled him to be successful in business and provide for his family.

He said they have an opportunity to get a great education.

“Don’t take your education lightly,” he said.

D-86 superintendent introduces school resource officers idea

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Public Schools District 86 superintendent is interested in bringing school resource officers to the junior high schools.

Superintendent Theresa Rouse told the Board of School Inspectors at Wednesday’s meeting that Tanisha Cannon, assistant superintendent for student services, and Rouse met with Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton. They discussed the possibility of having school resource officers at the district.

Rouse said she would love to see school resource officers at each of the junior high schools and they would also work with the elementary

schools.

She said she’s looking for grant or foundation funding to support the initiative for the first three years, and it would be sustained beyond that with help from different organizations.

“That’s something that I think we want to look for down the road,” she said, after noting she appreciated the community policing approach of the Joliet Police Department.

Later in the meeting, Board Inspector Quinn Adamowski said he thought it was tremendous Benton is interested in working with the district.

“That he’s interested in doing that says a lot about him and where they’re going with their community policing model,” Adamowski said.

Curriculum and instruction

Board inspectors were given a report on the district’s initiatives to enhance curriculum and instruction by Ankhe Bradley, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, and several other staff members.

When it came to summer school, the overall attendance rate was close to 92 percent and 1,096 students attended, an increase from last year.

“That is excellence [in] attendance rate,” said Tricia Nagel the district’s new director of teaching and learning.

Under an overview of student testing for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, Bradley noted differences between 2015 and 2016 administration of the state-

wide exam.

In 2015, 11 states were part of the PARCC consortium, but in 2016, only 9 states were and the test will no longer be taught in high schools.

“So there are some states that dropped out of the PARCC consortium,” Bradley said.

Board Vice President Jeffrey Pritz asked why two states chose to leave and why it was no longer required in high schools. Rouse said the more states that drop out, the more questions she would have for the validity of the scores.

“You don’t have a large enough sample to truly know if the test is actually reliable. So there are concerns with that. But states, they have the choice; Illinois has the choice,” she said.

Committee to interview four firms Homer Glen for work on freight mobility study third-grader Presentations, Q & A sessions scheduled for September 14

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County officials met Wednesday to lay out the requirements and guidelines for firms interested in performing its forthcoming freight mobility study.

The Will County Community Friendly Freight Mobility Plan will look at how, and in what amount, freight moves throughout the county.

It also will examine how this affects the quality of life for residents and the mobility of a workforce that competes for space on roadways.

The Will County Board approved Aug. 18 a $150,000 contract with Ann L. Schneider & Associates LLC, for project management of the study, using Regional Tax Authority funds.

The newly formed Community Friendly Freight Mobility Plan Selection Committee – composed of County Board members Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort; Chuck Maher, R-Naperville; Don-

ald Gould, R-Shorewood; Donald Moran, D-Romeoville; and Herb Brooks Jr., D-Joliet – discussed Wednesday the upcoming interview process with Will County Executive Office Chief of Staff Nick Palmer, Will County Center for Economic Development CEO John Greuling, Will County Highway Engineer Bruce Gould and Ann Schneider of the project management firm.

Starting at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 14, the committee will hear 30-minute presentations from four firms, followed by 15-minute question-and-answer sessions with the committee. A weighted ranking system based on a series of factors, established by Schneider, will be used to assess the presentations.

The firms will be given questions to base their presentations on, largely centered around how the county can set itself apart from others across the country when it comes time to apply for federal transportation grant dollars each spring.

Greuling said to the committee the

Do you have coins collecting dust in a safety deposit box?

Has it been years since you visited your coin collection?

Did you inherit a coin collection you threw under the bed or in the closet?

Many rare coins have never been worth more than they are RIGHT NOW. For 35 years, we’ve been the leading buyer of coin collections, silver & gold bullion, and old paper money in the Joliet area and beyond.

Most our clients were referred to us by family, friends, attorneys, banks, etc. due to our consistent history of fair and honest dealings, whether buying or selling. In fact, we’re so busy, we’re not sure why we advertise at all, but just in case you’re new to the area, we buy and sell:

• Modern & Classic United States Gold Coins — All United States Mint Collector Coins • Foreign Gold & Silver Coins — Rare Foreign Coins — Old U.S. & Foreign Paper Money • PCGS & NGC graded coins — Pre 1935 United States Silver Dollars — Silver Bars • Pre-1965 Quarters & Dimes –– Pre-1971 Half Dollars –- Canadian Coins & Paper Money • Confederate Currency — Better Stamp Collections – Complete or Partial Coin Albums

“softer points” of the presentations might be the deciding factor in which firm comes out on top. He said it will be interesting to see if firms actually go in-depth on quality-of-life and workforce mobility issues, and how to address them.

Officials, including Greuling, have said in the past that the most necessary transportation projects in the county are the widening of Interstate 80, the improved Interstate 55/Weber Road interchange and the proposed Houbolt Road Bridge over the Des Plaines River.

The committee believes this study will help Will County stand out in an extremely competitive process for federal and state grant dollars.

The interviews scheduled for Sept.

14 will allow the selection of a firm to be voted on Sept. 15 by the full County Board. The final draft report is expected to be presented by March 31, 2017, according to the county’s request for qualifications document.

dies suddenly

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – A Homer Glen third-grader died suddenly Tuesday night at his home, according to a letter from Homer School District 33C to parents and guardians.

The student at Schilling School was an 8-year-old boy, according to Will County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Rick Ackerson, who said sheriff’s office officials were at the child’s home Wednesday morning in response to the death. The cause of death appears to be natural and there was no indication of criminal activity, according to Ackerson.

“Words cannot express our grief and heartfelt sympathy,” Superintendent Kara Coglianese stated in the letter.

“We are not releasing the name of the student at this time out of respect for the family’s privacy.”

The letter noted the district has a team of counselors, psychologists and social workers who are available for grieving students and staff.

Man arrested in stabbing incident

PLAINFIELD – A dispute between two men in Plainfield led to one of them suffering knife wounds.

Veldrin L. Johnson, 52, was arrested and charged by Plainfield police with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Plainfield police responded at 5:52 a.m.

Wednesday to reports of a domestic disturbance at an apartment complex at the 23800 block of Springs Court, according to a news release.

While officers were on the way, they were notified that one of two people involved – a 47-year-old male – had been stabbed with a knife and Johnson allegedly attempted to leave in a vehicle.

Officers located Johnson in a vehicle near the front of the apartment complex and took him into custody without further incident. They then located the victim, secured the area and the Plainfield Fire Protection District provided him medical treatment.

The victim was taken to Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora, Plainfield Police Sgt. Mike Fisher said. Fisher said Johnson and the victim knew each other.

CREST HILL – Two people were seriously injured and a third has died after a crash Tuesday evening in Crest Hill.

Stewart B. McCutcheon, 82, of Crest Hill, was pronounced dead at 8:35 p.m. Tuesday at the emergency room of Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

McCutcheon was the driver of a silver Lexus ES 330 that was involved in a collision at about 7:30 p.m. near Weber Road and Knapp Drive, according to the Coroner’s Office.

In addition to McCutcheon, a female passenger in his vehicle was taken to the Bolingbrook hospital with serious injuries, a news release from the Lockport Township Fire Protection District stated. Both she and McCutcheon had to be extricated from the wreckage, although Crest Hill Police Department Deputy Chief Ed Clark said Wednesday afternoon that her injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

A second driver, who was ejected about 50 feet from a black 2007 Nissan Altima, was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet as a trauma patient.

Clark said there is no evidence that alcohol or drugs were a factor in the incident.

An autopsy for McCutcheon was sched-

uled for Wednesday.

• RIALTO TRANSITION

“It’s going to be a challenge, but I think we’re up to it. I’ve never seen a cash flow shortage this high, but we’ve had shortages.”

Continued from page 3

Gonyo, VenuWorks’ vice president of sales and marketing, who arrived Wednesday. She said VenuWorks is busy “getting the Rialto back on the map with promoters” while also getting a handle on the theater’s operations.

“We’re on a fact-finding mission,” Gonyo said.

One stubborn fact that VenuWorks is dealing with is the debt that has mounted at the Rialto as revenue slowed along with theater activity.

The backlog in bills is set at about $500,000, and a former cleaning contractor last month filed a lawsuit seeking payment from the Rialto.

It’s the biggest bill backlog that VenuWorks controller Mike Piehl has encountered.

“It’s going to be a challenge, but I think we’re up to it,” Piehl said. “I’ve never seen a cash flow shortage this high, but we’ve had shortages.”

VenuWorks manages 37 theaters, sports facilities, conference centers and outdoor venues. It operates several historic theaters with histories similar to the Rialto.

Mike Piehl

VenuWorks controller

The Rialto Square Theatre is seen Wednesday in Joliet.

Part of Piehl’s job will be to create a plan for paying off bills and a realistic budget for the Rialto. He arrived Wednesday morning and did not have any quick answers for solving the theater’s financial problems.

“We just have to find a way,” he said.

“I look around here, and I don’t see a

lot of wasteful operations,” Berry said.

Berry said the staff has been open with the theater’s vendors about the financial shortfall.

“The current staff that is here has been very straightforward and very transparent in dealing with vendors,” he said. “Nobody’s turning a blind eye

or a deaf ear to the situation.”

To find a way out of the Rialto’s financial predicament, the VenuWorks team will look for shows and other events to generate revenue at the same time that it assesses operations.

“The phrase I use with people here is we’ve got to sail our boat while we’re building it,” Berry said. “We can’t pull off to the side of the road. Quite frankly, that’s what was done for the last five months.”

One promising sign is community enthusiasm for the Rialto that the VenuWorks managers say is at a level that they have not encountered before. Gonyo said it “has been fun” to experience the local attachment to the Rialto.

“The community here is very passionate about the theater,” Gonyo said.

“They’re very involved.”

Man gets life in prison for Joliet restaurant shooting

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The man who opened fire on a rival in the middle of a crowded Joliet restaurant will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Judge Daniel Rozak on Wednesday said Christopher L. Thompson’s anger at Gerardo Franchini on the morning of Aug. 3, 2012, caused “a threat to dozens of other people” inside Louis’ Family Restaurant.

“Women. Children.

The elderly. It was the Christopher busiest time of day. We L. Thompson heard testimony the restaurant was so crowded it was elbow-to-elbow. There were children covered in [the victim’s] blood,” Rozak said. “There was a total, and I mean – total – disregard for anyone’s safety when the defendant emptied his gun into Mr. Franchini.”

Thompson, 34, known on the street as “Little,” said little during Wednesday’s proceedings, only acknowledging to the judge he was aware of his

right to appeal.

The two men had an ongoing feud that led erupted that morning when Thompson and a girlfriend came into the restaurant and encountered Franchini, who was eating with his wife, Edna, her young daughter and niece.

The two men had mutual friends, and Thompson told police his cousin was the father of Franchini’s stepdaughter, but they did not get along.

Gerardo Franchini was knocked out

by Thompson during a fight outside Hollywood Casino months before, and Gerardo Franchini and his brother attacked Thompson in the bathroom at Grapevine the previous month, according to prosecutors.

After they exchanged words, Thompson left but returned about 15 minutes later with a T-shirt pulled over his face and shot Franchini several times, according to trial testimony.

At a prior hearing, Edna Franchini said despite her husband’s past history, he was working full time for

LOCAL BRIEF JOLIET – A Romeoville teen will be heading to juvenile court to determine if he should still face murder charges alongside his father.

Adam Ballard, now 17, was 15 when he was charged as an adult in the death of Richard Pollack during a street brawl Mark Ballard on Aug. 10, 2014. Mark Ballard, 44, also is charged with murder in Pollack’s death.

“When Adam was charged the law said 15 or older in cases like this were automatically a criminal proceeding [instead of a juvenile one], but in January the law was changed to make it 16 and older,” defense

attorney Paul Napolski said. “My position is the change in the law is retroactive.”

Napolski on Wednesday asked Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak for a hearing in juvenile court to see if the case should be kept there. Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Mike Fitzgerald said prosecutors did not object to Napolski’s request.

Adults convicted of first-degree murder face a minimum 20-year sentence, but juvenile penalties often are much less.

The Ballards allegedly used a baseball bat while fighting with Pollack, 55, in the 400 block of Tallman Avenue. Napolski said last month they were acting in self-defense during the brawl.

Mark Ballard is scheduled to face trial in October.

Teenager in Romeoville brawl beating may not be tried as adult

Sixth rabid bat for 2016 reported in Will County SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – A bat found in a residence in the 700 block of Oakland Avenue in Joliet is the sixth confirmed rabid bat in Will County during 2016.

The bat was found Aug. 30, according to a news release from the county, and a resident in the home struck the bat with a broom, scooped it into a cup and put it into the freezer before calling Joliet Animal Control.

The bat was positive for rabies.

There was no contact with humans or pets, so no further rabies treatment is required, according to the county.

Will County residents are reminded to follow these guidelines to protect themselves and their families from rabies: • Do not feed, touch or adopt wild animals, or stray dogs or cats.

• Make sure pets are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations as they serve as a buffer between rabid wildlife and humans. Do not allow pets to roam free.

• Do not attract wild animals to

Our Home is

a home or yard. Store bird seed or other animal feed in containers with tight-fitting lids. Feed pets indoors.

Make sure garbage cans are tightly closed. Board up any openings to the attic, basement, porch or garage.

Cover chimneys with screens.

• Encourage children to tell an adult if they are bitten or scratched by an animal. Teach children not to approach or touch any animal they do not know.

• Report all animal bites to the local animal control. Do not engage a wild animal that comes on your property; let it wander away. Bring children and pets indoors. If the animal is acting abnormally (nocturnal animal around during daylight hours, animal having trouble walking, etc.), contact a local animal control.

Residents should report any contact with a bat, or other warm-blooded animals to the nearest animal control authority as soon as possible.

Will County Animal Control is available 24 hours a day at 815-462-5633.

Police department is now a ‘Safe Exchange Zone’

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – The parking lot of the Channahon Police Department is now a “Safe Exchange Zone,” Village Trustee Chantal Host announced at Tuesday’s Village Board meeting.

A safe exchange zone, Host said, is a place where separated or divorced parents may meet to transfer children from one parent to the other, or where buyers and sellers of goods posted on such internet sites as Craigslist may meet to conduct business.

The lot is well-lit and video-recorded with immediate access to emergency personnel if needed. It is available now for use, Police Chief Jeff Wold said, and signs indicating it is a designated safe exchange zone will go up soon.

Other nearby villages, such as Shorewood, also have set aside such exchange meeting places, Wold said, and the Channahon Police Department thought it would be a good idea to offer it to its residents.

Ordinance discussions

Also at the meeting, a short discussion was held on the possibility of Channahon village trustees and the village clerk being disallowed from participating in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, or IMRF, should the board vote in favor of the proposal at its Sept. 19 meeting.

The cost-savings seen should participation be terminated could be substantial to the village, which is continuing to find ways to decrease expenses and increase revenues.

There is a trend by public bodies to disallow various public pension systems, according to Village Administrator Tom Durkin. The McHenry County Board recently terminated participation in the fund, he said, and Illinois Senate Bill 2701 disqualifies future

• THOMPSON

Continued from page 12 an insulation manufacturer. The family had gone out to breakfast to tell her daughter that she would become a big sister.

Thompson faced a minimum of 45 years behind bars. Rozak said there was nothing in Thompson’s “substantial criminal record” to warrant leniency. “[A life sentence] was better than what I expected, actually,” Edna Franchini said. “But I can’t get back

county board candidates from participating in the fund.

Durkin added that many village responsibilities trustees used to perform are now done by staff anyway. The village president would be allowed to remain in the IMRF program if the measure is approved, he said, as the duties of the position “continue to remain varied and can expect to remain constant and possibly increase into the future.”

The board did approve an ordinance change Tuesday designed to encourage more developers and other property owners to mow or trim the soil stockpiles on their land.

The ordinance was created at the request of residents who live near such soil dumps and told staff they have seen them grow to excess over the years.

Some even have trees growing on them.

The addition to village code states that grasses and plants are not allowed to grow higher than 12 inches in height on unimproved property, and declares that soil stockpiles are considered to be unimproved property.

Director of Community Development Mike Petrick said there are currently such soil stockpiles in the Wedgewood Highlands, Ravine Woods, Hunters Crossing and Woods of Aux Sable subdivisions.

Officer recognized

Also Tuesday, Channahon Police Officer John Blough was recognized by the board for receiving the Mothers Against Drunk Driving Hero Award.

MADD recognized 33 people this year who have made substantial efforts in supporting its campaign to eliminate drunken driving, Wold said. Blough was recognized for his enforcement action and his education efforts. In addition to leading the department in DUI arrests in 2015, Wold said Blough is a significant part of the department’s community outreach programs.

“[A life sentence] was better than what I expected, actually.”

Edna Franchini

Gerardo Franchini’s widow what he’s taken.”

Edna Franchini said she will always think about what was taken from the couple’s son – born after his father’s death – but won’t think about Thompson again.

“It’s done,” she said.

Sam Iacobellis, who led rollout of B-1 bombers, dies at 87 The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Sam Iacobellis, the Rockwell International engineer who met President Ronald Reagan’s challenge to deliver 100 B-1 bombers as fast as possible in the early 1980s to challenge the Soviet Union, has died.

His son, Sam Iacobellis Jr., said his father died Saturday at a hospital in San Luis Obispo from complications of a stroke. He was 87.

The Los Angeles Times called Iacobellis’ mandate one of the toughest manufacturing assignments of the Cold War. Under his supervision, in just six years Rockwell delivered all 100 of the bombers below budget and on schedule, playing a key role in Reagan’s plan to bankrupt the Soviets with a military buildup they could not match.

“Sam was an icon of the aerospace industry,” said Donald Beall, former Rockwell chairman.

Russians were in awe of the B-1, designed to fly a few hundred feet off the ground near the speed of sound, and were unable to duplicate its capabilities, said Robert Cattoi, former chief engineer at Rockwell.

“A group of us from Rockwell were

in Krasnoyarsk [Russia], having dinner with some of their astronauts and Air Force generals, when one of them asked me, ‘Do you know Sam Iacobellis?

If you see him, tell him he was far more responsible for ending the Cold War than he might realize. We didn’t have the resources to match it,’ ” Cattoi told the Times. “It was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

To meet Reagan’s plan, Iacobellis had to build an entire new assembly complex in Palmdale, California, create a supply network that extended to nearly every state and create a trained workforce of 40,000 within less than two years, according to the newspaper.

It was the kind of buildup that typically would take an aerospace firm more than a decade to execute.

“We worked like we were on the front line of the Cold War,” Iacobellis said in a 2001 interview with the Times.

By the time he retired from Rockwell, Iacobellis was one of three chief operating officers, in charge of the company’s rocket engines, aircraft and spacecraft operations, including the space shuttle program.

Iacobellis was born in 1929 in Fresno, California, the son of Italian immigrants.

Robert Timberg, journalist, author and Vietnam veteran, dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Robert R. “Bob” Timberg, a Marine Corps veteran who survived horrific injuries in Vietnam and became a Washington reporter for The Baltimore Sun, died Tuesday at age 76.

The Hardesty Funeral Home confirmed Wednesday that he died at a hospital in Annapolis, where he had lived.

Timberg’s 1995 book, “The Nightingale’s Song,” looked at the lives of five fellow Naval Academy graduates, including Sen. John McCain and former Sen. Jim Webb.

“Bob Timberg was a dutiful and proud Marine, a respected and principled journalist, a talented and acclaimed writer, a loyal friend and good company, a loving father and husband,” McCain said in a statement.

Timberg graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1964 and was sent to Vietnam as a Marine. In 1967, the amphibious tractor he was riding hit a land mine, burning him with fuel.

He underwent 35 operations to help reconstruct his face.

He joined the Evening Capital in Annapolis in 1970 and later went to work at the Evening Sun in Baltimore, covering the statehouse. He joined The Sun’s Washington bureau in 1981.

Timberg covered Capitol Hill and later became White House correspondent, covering Ronald Reagan’s administration. He retired from The Sun in 2005.

His book “Blue-Eyed Boy: A Memoir,” published in 2014, tells the story of Timberg’s war wounds and his gradual, painful physical recovery and determination to make it to the highest levels of journalism.

Authorities to build up presence at protest site

By JAMES MacPHERSON The Associated Press

BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota authorities are recruiting law enforcement officers from across the state to guard the site of a protest in anticipation of an impending federal ruling on whether to block the construction of the four-state Dakota Access oil pipeline.

The buildup, announced Wednesday, comes after a skirmish between protesters and private security guards on Saturday that turned violent; the crowd dispersed when officers arrived, and no one was arrested. Authorities also said they pulled back Tuesday from responding to a report of 150 to 200 protesters, some with hatchets and knives, gathered at a construction area on private land because they determined it wasn’t safe to respond.

A ruling is expected by Friday on the tribe’s challenge of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ decision to grant permits to the Dallas -based operators

News from across the state Judge says Illinois campaign finance law constitutional

CHICAGO – A federal judge said current Illinois law that sets limits on how much political action committees can give candidates but allows political parties to give as much as they want is constitutional.

Wednesday’s ruling follows a two-day bench trial in a civil lawsuit brought by the conservative Illinois Liberty PAC. It argued that letting parties and their legislative leaders contribute as much as they want to candidates while limiting what PACs and individuals can contribute violates rights to free speech.

Earlier, the same judge in Chicago dismissed other claims in the lawsuit.

The trial focused more narrowly on the PAC’s objections to spending by legis-

The Sacred Stones Overflow Camp is growing in size and number as more people arrived Monday at the site along North Dakota Highway 1806 and across the Cannonball River from the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation in Morton County, N.D. of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline, which will cross North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois. The tribe’s lawsuit said the project violates several federal laws, including the National Historic Preservation Act, and will harm water supplies for the reservation’s residents and for millions

downstream, as well as disturb ancient sacred sites.

Baby delivered after mother shot in Chicago doing well

CHICAGO – A baby who was delivered after his mother was shot in the abdomen over the weekend in Chicago is doing well.

The baby was nearly full term when he was delivered shortly after Monday’s shooting in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.

The newborn’s grandfather, Tyler Thomas, told the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday evening that “the baby is doing good.”

A spokeswoman for Stroger Hospital said the mother and father, 23-year-old Crystal Myers and 24-year-old Albert Moore, were listed in critical condition Tuesday night. Moore was shot in the neck.

Pumpkin harvest in ‘good shape’ after 2015 shortage

MANITO – Illinois farmers said 2016 is shaping up to be a much better year for growing pumpkins.

The [Peoria] Journal-Star reported growing conditions have been favorable for the pumpkin crop, whether the pumpkins are being grown for consumption or carving for Halloween.

In 2015, heavy June rains drowned pumpkin vines around the state. That led to a dismal harvest and a shortage of processed pumpkin.

Jim Ackerman is agriculture manager for Libby’s canning facility in Morton.

He’s seeing “average to above-average yields” this year of 22 to 23 tons per acre.

Nathan Johanning is an educator and pumpkin expert with the University of

“We are preparing and planning for all scenarios that may occur in response to the federal court ruling,” the Morton County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, which didn’t detail how many officers were being added or what their plan is should the ruling allow construction to continue.

Standing Rock Sioux Chairman David Archambault II said he is not concerned with the additional law enforcement presence at the site of the protest, where thousands have camped out for weeks, and that the judge’s ruling will not stop the protest either way.

“This is not going to be over on this one day, whether he rules in our favor or the company’s favor,” Archambault said. “Both sides will appeal so this will not be over.”

He noted that he saw very few law enforcement personnel near the protest site Wednesday and said he’s appealing to protesters to remain “peaceful and prayerful.”

The pipeline company, Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, said it would not comment regarding who is providing the private security detail, which has been in place since last month, or what they’ve been told to do when facing protesters.

Cahokia Mounds hosts Native American event

COLLINSVILLE – Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site in southwest Illinois is hosting two days of cultural presentations by Native Americans.

Native American artists, storytellers and dancers will display clothing, demonstrate crafts and discuss customs and beliefs Saturday and Sunday at the site’s Interpretive Center.

The event is sponsored by the American Indian Educational Resources of St. Louis.

Cahokia Mounds is eight miles from downtown St. Louis in Collinsville.

The site is home to the largest Native American earthworks north of Mexico. It was the location of a large city of thousands of residents from the Mississippian culture, which flourished 1,000 years ago in the Midwest and South.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Carter: Russia sowing seeds of global instability

OXFORD, England – U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter accused Russia on Wednesday of sowing seeds of global instability and questioned whether Moscow genuinely wants a viable cease-fire in Syria.

In a hard-hitting speech at Oxford University, Carter emphasized deep skepticism about Russian intentions in Syria, even as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry weighed more talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva. Their discussions last weekend, on the sidelines of an economic summit in China, failed to produce a nationwide cease-fire in Syria or a U.S.-Russian military cooperation agreement.

Russia is a firm supporter of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and their joint military operation has sometimes targeted the anti-Islamic State rebels backed by the Obama administration.

Female WWII pilot has finally been laid to rest

ARLINGTON, Va. – After flying military planes during World War II, raising a family, visiting all seven continents and bungee-jumping in New Zealand at 83, Elaine Harmon had one final, seemingly simple wish: to be laid to rest at Arlington National

Cemetery.

Harmon got her wish Wednesday, at a funeral with military honors and a flyover, but it took a lobbying campaign by her family and an act of Congress.

In the process, the campaign helped bring to light the long-forgotten exploits of the fearless female pilots known as the WASPs. Harmon, who died last year at 95, was a member of Women Airforce Service Pilots, who flew military aircraft on support and training missions during World War II so that men were freed up for combat.

Newton brings rain, humidity to Southwest

PHOENIX – Less intense remnants of Tropical Storm Newton brought rain, powerful winds and uncharacteristically high humidity to desert cities in Arizona on Wednesday after pummeling the Mexican resort city of Cabo San Lucas and killing four people.

About 2½ inches of rain fell in the border city of Nogales and nearly an inch in Tucson. In both cities, dozens of people picked up sandbags faster than they could be filled in anticipation of the storm. However, both places only experienced minor flooding thanks in part to the rainfall’s moderate pace.

Trump: U.S. generals are ‘reduced to rubble’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Leveling unusually harsh criticism against the military, Republican Donald Trump said Wednesday night that America’s generals have been “reduced to rubble” under President Barack Obama and suggested he would fire some of them if he wins the presidency in November.

Trump’s comments came during a televised national security forum where he and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton each fielded 30 minutes of questions about their experience and judgment to be commander in chief.

While the candidates never appeared on stage together, their back-to-back sessions served as a preview of sorts for their upcoming debates.

By virtue of a coin flip, Clinton took the stage first and quickly found herself responding at length to questions about her years in government. She reiterated that she had made mistakes in relying on a personal email account and private server as secretary of state and in voting for the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a senator. But she defended her support for U.S. military intervention to help oust a dictator in Libya, despite the chaotic aftermath.

“I’m asking to be judged on the totality of my record,” said Clinton, who grew visibly irritated at times with the repeated focus on her past actions.

Clinton, who has cast Trump as dangerously ill-prepared to be commander in chief, tried to center the discussion on her foreign policy proposals should she win in November. She vowed to not send American ground troops into Iraq or Syria to fight the Islamic State group. And she pledged to hold weekly Oval Office meetings with representatives from the Pentagon and Department of Veterans

Affairs to stay abreast of health care for veterans.

Trump did little to counter the criticism that he lacks detailed policy proposals, particularly regarding the Islamic State. He both insisted he has a private blueprint for defeating the extremist group and that he would demand a plan from military leaders within 30 days of taking office.

Asked to square his request for military options with his harsh criticism of the current crop of generals, Trump said simply: “They’ll probably be different generals.”

Trump renewed his praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin for having “great control over his country.” He stood by a previous comment that appeared to blame military sexual assaults on men and women serving together, but added he would not seek to remove women from the military. And for the first time, he opened the door to granting legal status to people living in the U.S. illegally who join the military.

“I think that when you serve in the armed forces, that’s a very special situation,” Trump said. “And I

could see myself working that out.”

As a businessman with no substantial national security experience, Trump was vague about how he is preparing for the enormous array of complex issues that would land on his desk as commander in chief. He cited his team of military advisers, but also said he has “a common sense” that will help him make decisions on foreign policy.

With just two months until Election Day, national security has emerged as a centerpiece issue in the White House race. Both candidates believe they have the upper hand, with Clinton contrasting her experience with Trump’s unpredictability and the Republican arguing that Americans worried about their safety will be left with more of the same if they elect Obama’s former secretary of state.

While GOP candidates are often seen by voters as having an advantage on military and national security issues, Trump is far from a traditional Republican. He has no military experience and has repeatedly criticized the skill of the armed forces.

BUSINESS

When choosing that perfect place in which to hang your “Open” shingle, does the size of the community matter? I asked several local business owners what made them decide to open a business in Shorewood.

There are approximately 1,000 businesses currently located in Shorewood, which boasts a population of just over 16,000 consumers. When asked why they chose to locate their business in Shorewood, the same response was reiterated by several local business owners. Shorewood is a small community, yet comprised of educated consumers who want to do business within their own community. They are interested in doing business with people they know, trust and have something in common with. They want quality products and services but don’t want to drive hours to get them. Consumers want that “hometown” service. Fewer businesses equates to less competition for the local business owner, which means there is a huge potential for that local

BUSINESS EXCHANGE Carol Wagner business to dominate the market.

Businesses in Shorewood have easy access to the crossroads of Routes 52 and 59, and Interstate 80 and 55 and are easily visible and accessible to the consumer. Most of the retail stores are new and modern, and offer a good value for the rental space and also offer room for growth. Consumers have easy access to free parking with strategic businesses located nearby or the potential for a new business to be located next door who may provide similar or complimentary services to their customers. A win/win for both business owner and consumer.

Membership and networking opportunities provided by the Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce brings personalization to its 200 members. We work to promote a bet-

ter community by doing whatever is necessary to keep our area’s economic condition progressing.

We also offer a referral group, which is comprised of Chamber members with a common goal: To grow their business, the businesses of others, and to enhance the community. We meet weekly and offer members to join and share referrals, leads, marketing ideas, tactics and networking options. With the referral group only open to non-competing businesses, the group offers a better chance for your business to grow. We welcome you to visit a meeting, see the format, the other businesses, and learn how you can help yourself and others by joining.

The village of Shorewood also is focused on providing services to both new and existing Shorewood businesses. Karen James, Community and Development director, stated that the village of Shorewood approves 30 to 40 new business licenses a year. Business retention is a top priority for the

Community Development Department and through a variety of services, they aim to increase the awareness of the benefits that Shorewood businesses offer our residents. These services include programs like Breakfast with the Mayor, New Resident Welcome Bags, and exclusive opportunities to participate in village of Shorewood events.

So, does the size of the community matter? For one, businesses seeking to build large professional networks aren’t likely to hit their goal in a small village atmosphere with foot traffic.

However, if creating a niche market for quality products or services is your goal, the village of Shorewood may just be that perfect place in which to hang your shingle.

Starbucks moves into ‘content creation’ with digital series

The coffee chain says it is moving into the world of “content creation” with its series of text, video and podcasts on subjects including a former NFL player who helps disabled veterans. The company says it is aiming for the quality level of The Washington Post and The New York Times.

Starbucks says it will promote the “Upstanders” series in stores and on its mobile app over the next 10 weeks.

CEO Howard Schultz said the app, which accounts for 25 percent of Starbucks transactions, is a “treasure trove” that can give content considerable exposure.

Schultz said that retailers need to evolve to be more “experiential,” and that he believes Starbucks will continue to pursue original content.

Moving into original content could give Starbucks more control in burnishing its image on social issues. The company has long touted its health and education benefits for employees, for instance. And last year, it had employees write “Race Together” on

cups in the wake of protests over police killings of black men. The move was criticized as opportunistic and inappropriate coming from a company better known for pricey lattes, but such efforts have nevertheless fostered Starbucks’ liberal image.

Schultz said the changing “rules of engagement” means businesses now have to show customers they’re giving back to the community. He also gave a strong endorsement to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, citing on CNN the “vitriolic display of bigotry and hate” on the “other side.” He didn’t rule out running for office himself at some point.

Many companies have been trying to bypass news outlets and become a direct source of information, sometimes hiring “brand journalists” to create stories about themselves. Coca-Cola runs a “Coca-Cola Journey” website, for instance, and Chipotle gained praise for its animated videos depicting itself as a more wholesome alternative to traditional fast food.

Schultz said the Upstanders series is not branded content or marketing because it’s not about Starbucks. But the push is nevertheless a way for the company to try and connect directly with customers with a feel-good message.

The challenge is that there’s so much content available online that it’s difficult for anyone to get noticed, said Allen Adamson, founder of the Brand Simple consulting firm. He also noted that marketers have to walk a fine line when commenting on social issues, so that they don’t risk losing customers.

“If you take a stand on almost any issue today, half the room will be applauding you and half the room will be booing you,” Adamson said.

Still, Adamson said creating content is a way for companies to try to reach fragmenting audiences. And the Upstanders series is meant to be uplifting, without making political statements.

Schultz said Starbucks had been “offered lots of money from other media companies” to feature their content on the company’s app, citing movie trailers as an example. The company said a previously announced deal to feature select New York Times stories on its app is still in the works.

Rajiv Chandrasekaran, a Starbucks public affairs executive and a former Washington Post correspondent, said he applied the same standards to the Upstanders series that he would have while he was a reporter.

“We’re really trying to create the sort of stories that would stand on their own on the Washington Post and New York Times website,” he said.

A CELEBRATION DELUXE

Coyne, Gerl, Jones, Lunsford, O’Leary form Class of 2016

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Sports Bash: A Celebration of Champions.

The sports theme attached to the Joliet Area Historical Museum’s annual fall fundraiser scheduled Saturday night on the museum rooftop already was a big deal before the final touch was added. Now, it is a definite can’t-miss.

To this point, 55 prominent Joliet area sports personalities have been inducted into the Joliet Area Sports Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony for the five-member Class of 2016 will be rolled into Saturday night’s celebration.

The bash is scheduled from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. The induction ceremony will begin at 6:30 and will last about an hour.

The Class of 2016 includes Nikki Brandolino-Lunsford, Dale Coyne, Bernie Gerl, John Jones and Frank O’Leary.

A ticket to the entire night is $40 and may be obtained by calling 815-723-5201, ext. 221 for Liz McNeil, or ext. 222 for

Mike Brick, or by visiting www.jolietmuseum.org. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Collections and Exhibits department to kick off fundraiser efforts for the permanent Joliet Area Sports Hall of Fame exhibit. The Hall of Fame currently is housed at Silver Cross Field.

Former Chicago Bears Steve McMichael and Glen Kozlowski and ex-White Sox pitcher Bart Johnson are scheduled to make appearances, sign autographs, pose for pictures and spin tales. Some Joliet Area Sports Hall of Famers, inducted previously, have indicated they will attend as well.

The Ambassadors of Jazz band will provide live entertainment. Local businesses – Bella Cucina, Candy & Corn, Harrah’s Flavors Buffet, R Place Catering, Jitters Coffee House, Juliet’s Restaurant, Syl’s, Niko’s and others – will provide the cuisine on the rooftop. Raffle packages will include an autographed Mike Ditka jacket, Florida and Arizona condos and more. In addition to the ac-

tivities on the rooftop, all four levels of the museum will be available to visit.

University of St. Francis director of athletics Dave Laketa is head of the Hall of Fame selection committee. He provided the following biographies on the Hall of Fame Class of 2016.

NIKKI LUNSFORD

Name a bowling award and more than likely Nikki Brandolino Lunsford has won it … and not just once. A 10-time Queen of Joliet Area Women’s Bowling (female bowler of the year), Lunsford made her first mark in the sport in 1989.

With no bowling team at Joliet West High School, she created one and went on to claim the IHSA individual state championship that year.

Her career took off from there. Three years later, she represented the United States at the FIQ International Federation of Bowlers Tournament, claiming a gold medal in the team event, a silver medal in the singles event and a bronze medal in all events. At the same time,

she was earning both Intercollegiate Bowling Championship All-American and All-Tournament Team honors twice at Illinois State University.

No fewer than eight times between 1997 and 2007 did Lunsford capture Illinois United States Bowling Congress (USBC) scratch titles, including three times each in both doubles and team events and once in singles play. During the latter stage of that period, she also three-peated as the Women’s Will County Open champion (2005-2007). One year later, Lunsford was inducted into the Illinois State Women’s USBC Hall of Fame, and in 2011 staked a spot in the Joliet Area Women’s USBC Hall of Fame. In between, she was a scratch and diamond division team champion at the USBC Women’s National Championships in 2010.

Through her illustrious career, Lunsford has netted more than 30 Joliet-area women’s USBC city tournament titles while also authoring several 300 games and 800-plus series.

From driver, to owner, to CEO, to designer, Dale Coyne has done it all in the world of auto racing since coming onto the scene as an amateur racer in 1975. Ten years later, he graduated to Indy cars, where he captured Rookie of the Year honors at both the Michigan and Pocono 500’s in 1985.

While still competing, Coyne ventured into team ownership in 1988 with former Chicago Bears great Walter Payton to form Payton Coyne Racing. Paul Tracy and Buddy Lazier, among others, launched their careers with what eventually became Plainfield-based Coyne Racing, the fourth-oldest IndyCar racing team in the game.

In the early 2000s, Coyne Racing competed in the Champ Car World Series before joining the IndyCar Series in 2008. Coyne’s team captured four wins between 2009 and 2014, not to mention running four cars in the 100th Indianapolis 500 in 2016. As an owner, Coyne gained the respect of his fellow peers on both the CART and IndyCar circuits early on, enough so that he was asked to serve as the interim CEO of CART/IndyCar in 1993 and 1994.

The Minooka High School and Joliet Junior College graduate’s expertise was again called upon in 1998 when he led the design and building of Route 66 Raceway. Drawing the attention of Indianapolis Motor Speedway CEO Tony George with the state-of-the-art facility, he expanded the venue by forming a partnership with the owners of Indianapolis and Daytona Speedways to build Chicagoland Speedway. Coyne served as the president of the facility through its construction and opening season in 2001.

BERNIE GERL

Throughout his life, the odds were always against Bernie Gerl, yet he never gave in, especially when it came to the sport of baseball. Despite never having played in high school – Joliet Township did not start the sport until one year after he graduated in 1944 – Gerl still found a way to sign a professional contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, having impressed scouts while playing in the Joliet Park District leagues.

Soon afterward, his first shot at the big leagues was derailed for two years when he was drafted into the Army. It was there, however – the Philippines, in particular – where he squared off against the first of many Hall of Famers in Early Wynn. The likes of Don Larson, Johnny Vander Meer and Harvey Haddix followed.

Gerl returned home in 1947 and one year later, after a short stint in Salisbury, Md., was an all-star catcher with the Duluth Dukes.

Derailment No. 2 came on July 24,1948 when a bus carrying his team collided head on with a truck that cost the lives of six people, including four teammates. Gerl survived, but was burned and had to overcome severe internal and external bleeding, the loss of 70 pounds and a 40-day stay in the hospital.

He returned to the diamond two years later, hitting .302 for Montgomery, Alabama, in 1950, before two more all-star seasons in Duluth. The latter of those campaigns (1953) saw him lead the Northern League in runs (94), walks (90) and sacrifices (17) while producing 84 RBI and 22 doubles, both of which were four ahead of Roger Maris. By that time, however, Gerl was already 27 and opted out of the

in 2004.

JOHN JONES

FRANK O’LEARY

John Jones was a true believer in the David and Goliath Bible story. In fact, he lived it as a teacher, coach and athletic director for 35 years at Lemont High School, the smallest public high school in Cook County at the time.

During that run, his basketball and golf teams captured no fewer than 600 victories, including 409 on the wood court, not to mention another 200-plus wins in an additional 11-season stint as an assistant basketball coach at both Joliet Junior College and Palm Beach (Fla.) Community College.

Jones’ top basketball team – the 1974-75 squad – slayed No. 1 Chicago Christian in the sectional final to advance to the school’s only Sweet 16 appearance en route to a school-record 26 wins and recognition as the Joliet Area Team of the Year. Lemont also gained both three district and regional crowns under Jones’ watch. Twenty years later, he assisted on Joliet Junior College’s run to its national title in 1995.

Jones also co-founded the Lemont Christmas Classic, a unique David-vs.-Goliath format pitting small schools against large schools on the tournament’s final day, that ran for better than 30 years. Among his many honors, Jones was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame as an individual in 1982 and with the JJC championship team in 2011. He also was named the Illinois Athletic Directors Association Athletic Director of the Year in 1985 and earned Lemont High School’s Extra Mile and Pride In Excellence awards in 1984 and 1998, respectively, to go along with his hall of fame induction

A Chicagoan by address only, Joliet has always referred to Frank O’Leary as one of its own, most notably his voice. For 40-plus years, O’Leary’s voice was Joliet during the morning and afternoon … and at night during the basketball season …. on WJOL Radio. Teaming with Don Ladas for the majority of those years in gyms throughout Will County, they can now officially be dubbed a pair of hall of fame broadcasters with O’Leary’s induction following Ladas’ installment back in 2003.

This becomes O’Leary’s second honor as a basketball broadcaster with the first coming from the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in its media division. His work in and around the Joliet community has also earned him numerous accolades topped by the Joliet City Council once naming a street after him in the then-new River Glen subdivision.

O’Leary also has been recognized in Joliet’s Hall of Pride (1994), as a Past Exalted Ruler by the Joliet Elks #296 and twice by the Illinois State Medical Society for his work with the Will-Grundy County Medical Society.

He also served as the president on the Salem Village Board of Governors.

Growing up in both Chicago’s Kenwood and Hyde Park neighborhoods and a graduate of Hyde Park High School, O’Leary made his way to Joliet in December of 1955 after stints at DePaul University and University of Illinois’ Navy Pier campus, where he studied to be a teacher. The commute and love affair with the city and its people continued for the next fourplus decades.

Wilmington off and running again Every high school football season in the Joliet area brings surprises.

That does not seem to apply when it comes to Wilmington, however. Under coach Jeff Reents and his staff, the Wildcats always are good.

Reents became the head coach in 1994. His first two seasons, Wilmington finished 3-6 and 5-4 and did not qualify for the playoffs. Since then, it’s been a 20-year run to the postseason, highlighted by the second-place finish in 2003 and, of course, the state championship in 2014.

Reents’ record at Wilmington is 197-52, so No. 200 can happen as early as Sept. 23.

This season, on paper, appeared to be a potential problem early on. The Wildcats opened at home against Class 3A power St Joseph-Ogden, then visited Manteno.

“Regardless of whether we came

VIEWS Dick Goss out of those games 0-2, 1-1 or 2-0, the important thing was that we get ready for (Interstate Eight Small) conference play,” Reents said.

Two weeks of results suggest Wilmington is primed to take on imaginative coach Otto Zeman’s team Friday night in Westmont as the I-8 Small season begins. All the Wildcats have done so far is whip St. Joe-Ogden, 48-12, and Manteno, 28-12.

“We knew what we were getting into in St. Joe and Manteno,” Reents said. “They are teams that have done well for the last decade. So, we’re obviously happy to be 2-0.”

The big thing is Wilmington

AREA FOOTBALL RANKINGS LARGE SCHOOLS

1. Lincoln-Way East (2-0): The dual quarterback tandem of Jake Arthur and Max Shafer combined for 253 passing yards, and the Griffins’ defense allowed only 149 total yards in last week’s 35-0 thumping of Belleville West.

Mighty Homewood-Flossmoor visits Frankfort on Friday night in one of the state’s marquee matchups.

2. Lincoln-Way West (2-0): Warriors dug out of 20-3 hole late in the first half and beat Bloom, 40-27. Justin LaBuhn went for 212 rushing yards with TD runs of 70, 12 and 28 yards.

3. Bolingbrook (1-1): The Raiders trailed at Bishop McNamara, 14-0, and things were not looking good. But they got off the deck and escaped in overtime, 20-14.

4. Lemont (2-0): Spencer Nagel threw three touchdown passes as the Indians scored on their first four possessions in a 28-0 victory over Belleville East. Nagel finished 16 of 21 for 181 yards.

5. Morris (2-0): Redskins figured to be better this season, and last week’s 20-3 victory over Washington, then the state’s No 3-ranked Class 5A team, provided evidence. Washington managed one first down in the first half and four in all against the Morris defense.

6. Plainfield North (1-1): Tigers slip a few spots in the rankings after they fell at Oswego, 12-0, and teams below them showed well.

North’s offense was in the red zone three times and failed to capitalize.

7. Lincoln-Way Central (2-0): Knights pulled away late to knock off longtime rival Sandburg, 35-10. A big one looms Friday night as unbeaten Lockport visits.

has run the ball so effectively in its double-wing attack, orchestrated by longtime offensive coordinator Barry Southall, that opponents’ quality offenses have had difficulty getting on the field.

“We have been able to run the ball,” Reents said. “Time of possession has been big in our favor. Our offense has not let their offense on the field. When our defense is out there, it has stopped the run, and our secondary, which was green coming into the season, has stepped up.”

Reents said credit goes to defensive backs coach Chad Farrell.

“Tyler Holcomb is playing cornerback for the first time and had two interceptions our last game, and Joe Mendoza, also a corner, intercepted one in the St. Joe game,” Reents noted.

Continued from page 24 Wilmington featured an all-state running back last season in Nick Hawkins. Owen Weaver, a standout linebacker, toiled in Hawkins’ shadow on offense but was highly productive in his own right.

He is back at it this season with 368 yards in the two games. He is averaging 9.4 per carry and already has seven touchdowns.

“Owen was honorable mention all-state last year,” Reents said. “I’ve been fortunate to have some great

ones through the years, and he is right up there with the best. He’s a big kid with speed, he knows where to look for holes and best of all, he makes his teammates better.”

Two of those he makes better are his backfield mates, wingback Dustin Kelly and fullback Nick Pretto.

“We also have a big offensive line that is experienced,” Reents said.

“They are one of the biggest lines we have ever had here.”

That group includes tight ends Sam Jones, Brett McWilliams and Keaten Hansen; tackles Blake Geiss and Alex Rink; guards Caleb Gougis and RJ Van Duyne, and center John Cox.

“It’s been a real good start to the school year,” said Reents, speaking also of longtime Peotone coach and athletic director Scott Maupin as the new Wilmington principal and former Lockport athletic director Brian Goff beginning his second tour of duty as the Wildcats’ athletic director. “It’s great to have both of those guys on your side.”

Meanwhile, Reents’ football team continues to roll. There are no surprises. The Wildcats’ success is a given, year after year.

2. Coal City (2-0): A fourth-quarter touchdown lifted the Coalers to a huge 13-8 win at Lisle. Christian Johnson completed 12 of 17 passes for 106 yards, and Blake Harseim caught eight for 76 yards.

3. Seneca (2-0): Irish’s 36-12 victory over Rantoul keeps them in the rankings but barely over Reed-Custer, which played Coal City tough for a while in Week 1 and destroyed Clinton last week with 56 firsthalf points.

OTTERS 9, SLAMMERS 5

Evansville uses 7-run 5th to even series STAFF REPORTS

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Joliet Slammers’ quest to take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-five series with Evansville was doomed by a seven-run fifth inning as the Otters captured a 9-5 victory Wednesday in the Frontier League divisional playoffs that assured at least two games will be played in Joliet this weekend.

Things were tied at 2-2 going into the bottom of the fifth when Evansville broke things open against starter Sean Townsley, who allowed six earned runs on seven hits in 42/3 innings.

After the Otters scored in the first, Joe Staley came home on a grounder by Casey Fletcher to tie things in the next inning. Evansville got a run in the bottom of the second, but Joliet again tied it in the fourth when Fletcher drove in

Mike Garza with a sacrifice fly.

In Evansville’s fifth inning, Jeff Gardner (3 for 4) doubled in two runs, Chris Sweeney hit a two-run homer, and Julio Rodriguez followed with a solo shot.

WHITE SOX 7, TIGERS 4

Abreu stays hot, White Sox rally past Tigers

By PAUL LADEWSKI The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Slugger Jose Abreu looks like his old self again, which is good news for the White Sox, even if it’s a bit too late.

Abreu had three more hits, Avisail Garcia hit a go-ahead single against his former team in a four-run eighth inning and the Sox beat the Detroit Tigers, 7-4, on Wednesday.

The Tigers wasted a chance to move into a tie with Baltimore for the second wild card. The teams begin a three-game series Friday in Detroit.

Abreu raised his batting average to .298, the highest it had been since April 9. The first baseman has hit .342 since the All-Star break, 65 points better than

in the first half. “(The coaches) have worked with me on the right approach and corrected some things in my offense that I hadn’t been doing before,” Abreu said through an interpreter. “You work hard and make adjustments, and the results, you can find them at the end of the day.”

Abreu led off the eighth with a single for his third hit and scored on Justin Morneau’s double against Shane Greene (3-4). After Todd Frazier grounded out, Garcia singled to right-center.

Tyler Saladino and Adam Eaton added RBI singles, and the Sox took two out of three in the series to move to 67-72.

Chris Beck (2-1) got four outs in relief before David Robertson worked a shaky ninth for his 35th save and second in two days.

BREWERS 2, CUBS 1

Villar homers twice as Brewers beat Cubs

By RICH ROVITO

The Associated Press MILWAUKEE – Jonathan Villar hit two home runs and Keon Broxton robbed Anthony Rizzo of a homer in the ninth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cubs, 2-1, on Wednesday night.

Milwaukee, which took two of three in the series, got its first hit when Villar homered leading off the fourth. Villar homered again off Joe Smith (1-1), the sixth Cubs pitcher, leading off the eighth.

Corey Knebel (1-2) pitched a scoreless inning in relief to get the win. Tyler Thornburg notched his ninth save in 13

chances.

With one out in the ninth, Rizzo hit a drive to deep center. Broxton jumped above the wall to make the catch.

Cubs starter Mike Montgomery faced the minimum number of batters through three innings then walked Manny Pina before Villar’s first homer.

The Cubs loaded the bases with one out in the first against Milwaukee starter Matt Garza, but failed to score.

Montgomery lasted five innings, allowing one run and two hits with two walks and six strikeouts.

Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk (from left), postulator of the cause of beatification and canonization of Mother Teresa, Marcilio Andrino and his wife, Fernanda Nascimento Rocha, pose for photographers at the end of a press conference at the Vatican on Friday. Andrino’s cure of a viral brain infection, declared a miracle by Pope Francis earlier this year, was the final step needed to declare Mother Teresa a saint.

Mother Teresa’s ‘miracle’ doesn’t feel special, just loved

By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY – The Brazilian man whose “miraculous” cure from a brain infection paved the way for Mother Teresa’s canonization this weekend said he is grateful for his life but doesn’t feel particularly chosen by God. Rather, Marcilio Haddad Andrino told a Vatican press conference Friday he is just one example of God’s ample mercy and love.

“The merciful Lord looks at us all without distinction,” Andrino said.

“Maybe it was me this time but maybe tomorrow it will be someone else. The merciful mother looks after everyone.

I don’t feel special.”

Pope Francis in December decreed

that Andrino’s cure was a miracle after Vatican doctors and theologians determined that it was medically inexplicable, instantaneous, lasting and due to the intercession of Mother Teresa, who died in 1997. It was the final step needed to canonize the nun who cared for the poorest of the poor.

Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said all 100,000 tickets had been distributed for Sunday’s Mass but that the crowd would likely be far greater, spilling into the main streets around St. Peter’s Square. So far, 15 official delegations have confirmed their presence, 13 of them led by heads of state or government and 600 journalists have been accredited.

Andrino’s wife, Fermanda Nascimento Rocha, recalled that she and her family began fervently praying

for Mother Teresa’s intercession after receiving a relic of the nun on Sept.

5, 2008, after Andrino began suffering from the effects of a viral brain infection.

By December of that year, despite powerful antibiotics, the brain abscesses and fluid had built up so much that Andrino was suffering debilitating headaches. According to the official story, doctors decided the only chance was to operate, but on the day surgery was scheduled, they couldn’t intubate him.

“When the doctor left the OR saying he couldn’t do the operation – and that the medicine wasn’t working anymore – I prayed a lot,” Nascimento Rocha said. “I asked Mother to cure Marcilio if this is God’s will, and if not, to take him by the hand and bring him to the

house of the Father to feel his caress.”

She said she went to her mother’s home and prayed “with all the strength I had.”

When the surgeon returned to Andrino’s room, he was awake, pain-free and asymptomatic, according to the priest spearheading Mother Teresa’s sainthood cause, the Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk.

Within six months, Andrino said Friday, he had returned to work. Soon after, the couple conceived the first of their two children, though Andrino had been told that the powerful drugs he had taken had made him infertile.

He calls his two children “the extension of that miracle.”

“We are very grateful to Mother Teresa for our family,” he said.

FAITH BRIEFS University of St. Francis to host presentation about Dorothy Day

JOLIET – The University of St. Francis will celebrate the 11th anniversary of the Bishop Joseph L. Imesch Women in the Church Lecture Series with the presentation “Dorothy Day: Model of Mercy,” featuring speaker Robert Ellsburg, publisher and editor-in-chief of Obris Books.

Dorothy Day is the founder of The Catholic Worker Movement, a group of independently run homes that serve and offer hospitality to those in need in their communities. The movement started with “The Catholic Worker” newspaper, a publication created by Day to advance Catholic teachings and pacifism in the 1930s. Day created these “houses of hospitality” in an effort to put the publications into action.

Day’s conversion to Catholicism and work in the name of the Catholic faith is considered a great source of inspiration for the Catholic church. Because of her work, the Catholic church has opened a case for her canonization.

The lecture will take place at 7 p.m.

Sept. 8 in San Damiano Hall, 603 Taylor St., Joliet. Reservations are encouraged and should be directed to Janine Hicks at 815-740-3807 or jhicks@stfrancis.edu.

34 Combine strength and power training Dear Dr. K: What’s the difference between strength and power training? Is one better than the other?

Dear Reader: Your muscles enable you to carry groceries, climb stairs, get out of a chair and swing a golf club. The stronger and more powerful your muscles are, the easier all of these everyday tasks and others will be. But weak muscles turn seemingly simple tasks, such as walking, into a chore. They are a primary reason why many people lose their independence as they age.

Strength and power training can curb or even halt these changes. They help your muscles function at a high level as you get older. And there are additional benefits.

As you strengthen your muscles, you tone your arms and legs. You also burn more calories, since muscles require energy (calories) to function.

You even can help control various medical problems. For example, you can reduce your risk of heart disease, slow the advance of osteoporosis, ease arthritis pain and help manage or prevent Type 2 diabetes.

So exactly what are strength and power training?

Strength training is a popular term for exercises that build muscle by harnessing resistance – that is, an opposing force that muscles must strain against. Strength training sometimes is called resistance training or weight training. Resistance can be supplied by your body weight, free weights such as dumbbells and weighted cuffs, elasticized bands or specialized machines. No matter what kind of resistance you use, putting more than the usual amount of load on your muscles makes them stronger.

Power training is aimed at increasing power, which is the product of both strength and speed. Power reflects how

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff quickly you can exert force to produce the desired movement. Power can help you react swiftly if you trip or lose your balance, helping you to avoid a fall.

Some power moves are just strengthtraining exercises done at a faster speed.

Other power routines rely on the use of a weighted vest. The vest is worn while performing exercises aimed at improving functions such as bending, reaching, lifting and rising from a seated position.

Try to do strength and power exercises two or three times a week. Allow at least 48 hours between sessions for your muscles to recover. (I’ve put descriptions and illustrations of a few strength-training exercises, along with their power variations, on my website, www.askdoctork.com.)

When I urge my patients to consider strength and power training, they understand the merits of keeping muscles strong as they age. But they often ask if strength and power training are as good as aerobic exercise in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. There is growing evidence they do, although the evidence is not yet as strong as for aerobic exercise.

I’ve adopted an exercise program of aerobic exercise four to five days a week and strength training twice a week. If new evidence causes me to change my mind about what’s best for me, I’ll change my routine.

• 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.

problem, your neighbor might be willing to modify his mowing time. However, if he isn’t, then look into the noise ordinances in your community because there might be rules about mowing after – or before – a certain hour.

Dear Abby: Recently, my boss told me she had asked me to do something, but I am 100 percent positive she didn’t. I don’t feel I can contradict her because I’m afraid it would make me look bad. It has happened only once or twice in the past few months, but what should I do if it continues? I don’t want my employee reviews to suffer because of it. – At A Loss In Florida Dear At A Loss: I wish you had revealed more about your relationship with your boss and mentioned how many people work there. Could she be stressed? Or having problems with her memory? Or could you? If there are more employees than just you, did anyone witness your boss ask you to do what she claimed? If not, and this happens again, you might need to talk to her about it because of your concerns about your work performance.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY My wife always has been well Jeanne groomed, with Phillips an obsessive interest in her fingernails and toenails. Every three or four days, she spends an hour trimming them.

Recently, I discovered she has been keeping the nail trimmings. She has three large plastic containers full. When I confronted her, she claimed it soothes her to see her “collection.”

Now she has begun openly displaying them inside a glass table lamp.

I’m afraid she needs professional help. What do you think I should do? – Nailing It Dear Nailing: Your wife appears to suffer from a form of OCD – a hoarding disorder. (Are nail clippings the only items she can’t let go of?) Overcoming her compulsion might take professional help and possibly medication.

Start by discussing this with your doctor. In the meantime, because her display bothers you, ask her to keep the lamp in a less conspicuous place.

Dear Abby: My wife and I just bought our first home. It’s in a very nice neighborhood, and the neighbors seem friendly. There’s just one problem. My son, “Abner” – who will soon be 3 – goes to bed between 8 and 9 o’clock, and that’s when our neighbor decides it’s time to mow his grass. Getting Abner to sleep becomes difficult because the man mows right outside our son’s window.

Initially, I didn’t think it was a big deal because the first time he woke Abner up, my son had gone to bed at an unusually early time for him. But last night it happened when Abner went to bed later than his normal bedtime.

Since we’re new to the neighborhood, I don’t want to cause problems. I don’t know the man’s schedule, but would it be out of line to ask him to mow earlier in the evening? – Bedtime In

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Question what isn’t working for you.

Make a clean sweep to clear up any situations that are limiting your ability to move forward.

Don’t be afraid to take a different approach.

Your strength will come from how well and how quickly you recognize, react and adapt to shifting circumstances. Start checking things off your to-do list.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Consider how to make your life easier. Give people who are placing demands on you something to occupy their time and keep them out of your hair. Take control and learn to say no.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Take a chance and

make a point to do things differently. What you discover will make a difference, not only to you, but to others with similar dilemmas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Refuse to take on too much. Honing in on what’s most important will make a difference to the outcome of something you truly believe in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Emotional matters will escalate if you cannot keep a secret. Offering information based only on hearsay will result in you being blamed for meddling. Focus on yourself, not on others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Ask for clarification if you aren’t satisfied with the information you are given. If you stay on top of your personal business, positive results will unfold. Don’t be afraid of change.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A chance to show what you have to offer will be met with encouragement and a chance to take on a new project, but first you must take care of unfinished business.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – When traveling or dealing with people who don’t share your views, you are best off being protective of your personal information.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – An opportunity will develop that will give you greater job security.

Negotiating and signing contracts are favored.

Positive changes are heading your way. Celebrate with a loved one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – It’s a good time to travel for business or educational purposes. A retreat will open your mind to a host of infor-

mation that will help you reduce your stress and change your way of living.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You should put more energy into making personal gains, not into trying to change others. Focus on your appearance and physical fitness, not on manipulating others into doing things for you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t take on someone else’s responsibilities. It’s not up to you to make other people look good. Do your best to get ahead by taking pride in what you do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Make a point to bring about positive change. Don’t let the past hinder your advancement. You can’t change what’s already transpired, but you can change the future.

Skilled Trades and Manufacturing Mega Career Fair

Kenneth Tynan, an English theater critic who died in 1980, said, “A critic is a man who knows the way but can’t drive the car.”

In yesterday’s deal, East failed to cover dummy’s spade jack with his queen because he believed it would save declarer a guess in the suit.

However, he should have realized that declarer knew the layout and not played low. This deal is a tougher example of the same theme.

South was in four spades. What happened after West led a diamond?

East took dummy’s diamond jack with his queen and cashed the club king. (Remember, lead king from aceking and king-queen after trick one.)

When West discouraged with his club three, East cashed the club ace and tried to take the setting trick with the diamond ace, but South ruffed.

Now declarer had to play the trump suit without loss -- how, though?

It looked like he should hope for a doubleton queen somewhere, or for West to have the singleton queen.

But who had the queen?

South was sure that it was West.

Why? East had produced 13 high-card points and seemed to have a balanced hand. If he had the spade queen also, he would have opened one no-trump.

Then, somehow sensing the position, South led his spade jack. West knew the situation, so he covered with his queen. Declarer won with dummy’s king and had to decide if East had started with 10-doubleton (cash the ace) or two low (return to hand in a minor and run the spade nine).

As you can guess, South guessed correctly.
