Four hospitalized after Route 52 crash

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Four people were hospitalized after two cars collided Saturday on Route 52.

The crash happened about 1 p.m. near Interstate 55 and

shut down the westbound lanes. Troy firefighters did not have to extricate anyone from the vehicles and everyone was involved was “conscious and responsive,” according to Chief Andy Doyle. “[They were] transported as a precaution,” Doyle said.

People walk through the Joliet Junior College Farmers Market in Joliet in May. The market is open every Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. until Sept. 17. At the Aug. 6 market, JJC and the market will bring the college and community together with a Back-to-School Fair.

JJC farmers market to host back-to-school fair

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Junior College Farmers Market aims to bring the college and community together Aug. 6 with a Back-to-School Fair.

The fair will have fun activities for families from 2 to 6 p.m. at the JJC Greenhouse on Houbolt Road, JJC announced Thursday. Those activities include free face painting, hayrack rides, Touch-a-Truck hosted by a local SWAT team, worm composting demonstration and raffles. Food also will be offered at the fair.

Dorothy Rosier, the farmers market manager, said the market will have academic recruiting representatives to help families receive more information on programs offered at JJC. The college has a strong connection to agriculture, horticulture and cultivation, she said.

“It’s bringing the families to the farmers market, which

is kind of a community gathering place. … We teach families sustainable programs where they can compost materials,” she said about the fair.

Families who come to the fair as well as the farmers market will be exposed to local producers, many of whom are part of the community, such as Lange’s Farm in Elwood, she said. Other vendors include Drover Trail Natural Farm and Sunset Growers.

JJC’s third annual Farmers Market has been selling food from noncommercial sellers since May 28 and will end Sept. 17. The market runs from 2 to 6 p.m. every Thursday.

The farmers market began in 2013 thanks to grant money from the U.S. Department of Agriculture as the location of the farmers market is in an area that’s federally designated as a food desert.

Along with cash and credit or debit cards, LINK cards also are accepted as pay-

Rosier said the farmers market has been going great this season, with about 25 vendors attending every Thursday. Turnout is great as well, she said.

“Thankfully, we got some very good weather. We have repeat customers and we’ve been getting new customers every week,” she said.

“We teach families sustainable programs where they can compost materials.”

Farmers debate whether it should be state or federally mandated

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MHN

MAZON – Paul and Donna Jeschke of Mazon have been farming for four decades and believe technological advancements made in corn and soybean seeds have helped make their farm successful.

“The last two years, we have had the best yield.

We’ve also had good prices,” Donna Jeschke said. “It’s been the best three years in our 40 years of farming.”

About 70 miles south in Dewey, Wendel Lutz farms non-GMO soybeans. He agreed the past few years have been great for local farmers.

But he said it has nothing to do with the use of GMO crops.

“Farmers who say they have had the best years due to GMO seeds aren’t giving the facts,” he said. “The reason it’s their best year is simple: The production [multiplied by] the gross price is used to give profit and in 2012 the prices were up. My non-GMO beans have done just as good.”

GMO, or genetically modified organism crops, are created when a trait is taken from one plant and placed into the DNA of another plant’s seed. Scientists look for a positive characteristic – such as the ability to use water more efficiently – and create a new breed of plant that also has that characteristic. The trait that allows the use of water more efficiently is beneficial in drought-resistant crops for areas where water is scarce.

The debate about GMO crops and labeling has picked up in the past two years after the Food and Drug Administration said GMO crops, which have been in the food supply for years, do not need to be labeled. That prompted several states to look at labeling laws. Vermont, starting

COVER STORY THE PROS, CONS OF GMO

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Russ Higgins walks on his Morris farm Friday. The majority of Higgins’ land is dedicated to growing GMO corn and soybeans.

July 1, 2016, will be the first to require labeling.

ILLINOIS GMO CROPS

In Illinois, soybeans and corn are the most talked about GMO crops. GMO corn and soy were introduced in 1996, and have continued to change and grow in popularity. Other GMO crops include cottonseed, canola oil, U.S. papaya, alfalfa and sugar beets, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Russ Higgins of Morris is a University of Illinois agriculture adviser for corn and soybeans. Higgins explained it takes years to develop a GMO seed and sometimes it doesn’t work as intended.

For example, in 1995 there was a flavor-saver tomato cre-

ated that was suppose to have a thicker skin and would better survive transport.

“It worked well,” he said.

“But it tasted horrible.”

The GMO corn and soybean crops planted today don’t have a different taste.

Instead they are altered to withstand more weed killers like Glyphosate, more commonly known as Roundup, or to deter insects, like European Corn Worm, which can destroy a crop.

“They have completely mapped the corn genome,” Higgins said. “They are able to edit the DNA precisely.”

He said the problem with the European Corn Worm treatment for non-GMO crops is insecticide can kill the insect on contact, but it is

difficult to control the eggs inside the plant.

By altering the DNA, the plant can become resistant to the insect. As the eggs hatch and eat it, the pests – and not the plant – perish. That can mean the difference between a higher yield or losing a crop, he said.

Donna Jeschke said farmers for centuries have altered seeds by traditional breeding methods, selecting the seeds from the best plants to plant again.

“Traditional breeding has given us crossbred plants,” she said. “In a matter of breeding. It’s selecting the strongest to survive, just like nature.”

She said she doesn’t think people understand what a GMO crop is, and that leads to some of the fear. Some, she

theorized, envision scientists are creating something new and putting it in the plant.

“You take the desired gene from another plant and put it in the right spot in the plant,” she said. “It’s like highlighting, cut and paste. That’s the very basic explanation of what can be done in the lab with the DNA.” Lutz said he fears what could be created by genetically altering crops.

“When I was younger I had upper respiratory problems and I had to take penicillin a lot,” Lutz said. “Then I couldn’t use it anymore, it made me sick. I knew Roundup would be overused and eventually it wouldn’t work.”

DON’T CALL IT ‘THE POUND’ Animal Control may be more pet friendly than you think

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com Sometimes as Sarah Gimbel watches TV with her kids, a dog catcher is worked into the show – and it’s usually not a good scene.

“They look at me and say, ‘Do you do that mom?’ I say, ‘No, we don’t do that,’” said Gimbel, director of the Joliet Township Animal Control Center.

Gimbel and other animal control officers emphasize that their mission is to help pets and their owners, not to hunt down stray dogs and put them to sleep.

“We’re not the pound,” Gimbel said. “I think people view that as a negative place – that animals are dumped here.”

They do have animals.

More than 25 dogs and 50 cats were at the Joliet Township Animal Control Center at 2807 McDonough St. last week.

They are in cages but not always. On Wednesday afternoon when Gimbel was giving a tour of the facility, many of the dogs were out for walks with volunteers.

None of the dogs or cats faced a death sentence if they were not claimed or adopted by a certain date.

Euthanasia is rare, Gimbel said, and typically used in cases of “extreme aggression” or severe injury or illness.

Grundy County

The same euthanasia policy applies at the Grundy County Animal Control Center.

“We don’t euthanize for time or space,” said Sue Gale, senior animal control officer at Grundy County. “An animal can stay here a long time before it’s adopted or rescued.”

Some animals are adopted more quickly than others.

Older dogs and cats can have a harder time finding new owners.

“We’ve got one terrier that’s 13. He’s taken quite well to us,” Gale said. “I don’t know if he will get adopted.”

When a dog or cat arrives, staff checks first to see if it has a microchip that can be used to find the owner. If not the animal’s picture goes on the Grundy County Animal Control Center’s Facebook page in hopes that it will be recognized.

Critters and trappers

Grundy County Animal Control Center only handles dogs and cats. If someone has a problem with a raccoon, skunk or other wild animal, the center refers the caller to a private trapper.

Not all animal control centers operate the same way or have the same services.

Joliet Township Animal Control Center will provide traps at a cost of $50 a week and with a $100 deposit that is returned when the trap is returned. If an animal is trapped, an animal control officer will come get it.

Grundy County is the only animal control center in the county. It provides services for the entire county, including municipalities.

The Will County Animal Control Center operates primarily in unincorporated areas, but it also provides services in municipalities that do not have their own animal control offices.

In addition to Joliet Township, other animal control centers in Will County are Bolingbrook, Frankfort Township, Lockport, Naperville and Romeoville.

Will County Animal Control refers most calls about wild animals to private trappers.

“Usually, we will deal with sick or injured wildlife,” said Sheila Buffano, senior administrative specialist at Will County Animal Control.

“If there’s a sick raccoon in your yard and it’s not moving, we will remove it.”

Will County Animal Control, however, does not have facilities for stray dogs and cats. Any pets that it picks up are taken to local animal shelters or hospitals.

But Will County does play a big role in rabies control.

BELOW LEFT: Joliet Township Animal Control veterinary technician Whitney Armstrong (right) shows a box of abandoned kittens that were dropped off to veterinary technician Ruby Bahena and veterinary technician intern Mallory Maugeri.

The animal control office keeps records of all animals vaccinated for rabies in the county. Staff makes daily checks with hospitals to find out if anyone has been brought in for dog bites.

Will County also aggressively pursues potential cases of bat rabies. Last week,

Will County Animal Control picked up two rabid bats in a Homer Glen garage. They were the fourth and fifth rabid bats identified this year in Will County.

Dogs and cats Dogs and cats, however, are the focus of most animal

control offices.

Gimbel said Joliet Township Animal Control tries not only to be pet friendly, but people friendly, too.

A specialist comes in once a month to offer people a free one-hour session on dog behavior issues. The center provides discounted spay and neutering, vaccinations and microchipping with the help of a grant from the Petco Foundation. The facility keeps later hours on Wednesdays, when it stays open until 6:30 p.m. for the convenience of people who want to stop in and check out the dogs and cats for potential adoption.

“We’re not bad people,” Gimbel said. “Cartoons and movies try to make us look like the bad people who are here to get your dogs. That’s not who we are.”

JOLIET

Meeting about Evergreen Terrace still set for July 27 Councilwoman says she will push for earlier date

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city won’t move up the schedule on an Evergreen Terrace decision after all – at least not yet.

Some City Council members last week said they wanted a meeting with the city’s consultant on the Evergreen Terrace issue ahead of one slated for July 27. They asked for a public meeting as soon as Monday to delve into complex issues they face before a Sept. 1 deadline to buy the housing complex.

But City Manager Jim Hock said the consultant, Holsten Real Estate Development & Management, won’t be able to make it this week.

He said the meeting with Holsten will occur July 27 as previously planned.

“I don’t understand why they can’t be there,” Councilwoman Jan Quillman said Friday. “They work for us.

That’s unacceptable.”

A representative from Holsten couldn’t immediately be reached late Friday afternoon for comment.

Quillman said she will push for a special city council meeting on Evergreen Terrace before July 27, whether Holsten is there or not.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he wants to have at least one community meeting after July 27 to hear from residents about the project. The city faces a court deadline to decide whether to pay the $15 million price set by a jury for Evergreen Terrace.

The council began discussing at its Tuesday meeting the complexities of the Evergreen Terrace purchase. The discussion was prompted by neighborhood groups who came to the Monday workshop meeting and urged the council to buy the low-income housing complex, which the city has had condemned in federal court.

On Tuesday, Councilman Larry Hug, motivated by

““I really don’t believe the city should be in the business of managing private apartments or houses. And the liability is huge.”

Larry Hug Joliet councilman statements made the night before, started the Evergreen Terrace discussion by urging council members to say what services they would cut or what taxes they would raise to pay for redevelopment of the housing complex.

Hug said he has seen two redevelopment plans prepared by Holsten, and they would require the city to spend between $11 million and $70 million on redevelopment.

Hug said Friday he plans to vote against the acquisition unless Holsten presents a plan that would require $2 million or less in city funds for redevelopment. Even then, he has concerns, Hug said.

“I really don’t believe the city should be in the business of managing private apartments or houses,” he said.

“And the liability is huge.”

Hug also said the least-expensive option for the city is to leave Evergreen Terrace as it is now.

But that raises questions of why the city should even take it over.

City officials have said that they want to redevelop Evergreen Terrace, reduce the number of apartments on the site, and improve living conditions.

The mayor instructed Holsten to create two more redevelopment plans after seeing the first two. O’Dekirk said he did not believe the council was likely to approve the amount of spending required in the first two plans.

Also, one of them involved adding four more stories to three of the Evergreen Terrace buildings to create space for larger apartments.

BRIDGING THE GAP

Injured Manhattan serviceman to receive specially adapted home

U.S. Representative Bill Foster of the 115h congressional district was in attendance and thanked Captain Simone for his service. He also commended the Lockport American Legion for its fundraising efforts and thanked the community for it’s support.

“It is wonderful to see our community bridge the gap when federal assistance isn’t enough,” Foster said.

Simone; his wife of eight years, Andrea; and two small children looked on as Bill Ivey, Homes for Our Troops executive director, talked about the importance of caring for severely injured veterans and giving them an opportunity to rebuild their lives.

Ivey then introduced Simone to the crowd. Walking with his cane, Simone approached the podium as the crowd stood and showed their support through loud applause.

“Thank you everybody,” Simone said. “My father was

On June 9, 2010, Simone was the co-pilot of a combat search and rescue helicopter in Helmand Province in Afghanistan when it was shot down. Simone was one of two survivors. He sustained a traumatic brain injury and has limited use of the left side of his body.

The home being built for Simone and his family will be located in Manhattan and a groundbreaking ceremony was set for later in the day on Saturday.

“We are very proud and honored to welcome Captain Simone and his family into our community,” village of Manhattan mayor James Doyle said.

Andrea Simone added, “We are very humbled and blessed.

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped us.”

Police: Unconscious teen had shotgun in trunk

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Police say a teen was passed out in a car with a shotgun and marijuana on Monday.

At 10 a.m. officers were called to Lions Den Park,

520 S. Cedar Road, after witnesses saw teens in a car where “the driver appeared to be passed out behind the wheel,” according to police reports.

Nicholas T. Hogan, 18, did not wake up for police, but was revived by paramedics,

according to reports. Police noted Hogan’s passengers, a male juvenile from Joliet and a male juvenile from Orland Hills, had both been reported as runaways.

“The officer could detect a strong odor of cannabis from the vehicle and observed a

pipe used for smoking cannabis,” police reports said.

Police searched the car before towing and reportedly found inside the trunk a shotgun with the serial number scratched off.

Hogan, of the 1800 block of Brogan Drive in New Le-

nox, was booked into the Will County jail on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, defacing the identifying markings of a firearm, delivery of marijuana, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

LOCKPORT – On Saturday morning, a small crowd waving American flags lined the driveway at the American Legion John Olson Post 18 in Lockport to welcome Air Force Captain Anthony Simone and his family.

Simone is the latest U.S. serviceman having a house built for him through Homes for Our Troops, a national nonprofit organization that builds specially adapted homes for veterans who were severely injured.

Simone’s home will feature special adaptations including widened doorways for wheelchair access. The home will be built in order to alleviate safety issues normally found in traditional homes such as narrow hallways and carpeting.

All costs for the home will be covered by Homes for Our Troops through its network of donors including Dunkin Donuts – which donated $10,000 for the cause – and the American Legion John Olson Post 18, which raised $13,118.

The Wounded Warrior Project will donate funds to cover the balance. All in all, the total to build the home will be about $330,000.00.

“This charity is near and dear to the American Legion’s heart,” said Mike Meyers,

12 Joliet murder trial delayed again while witness sought

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Can I get a witness?

A man’s bench trial on murder charges will be delayed while police look for a parolee who reportedly encountered him at the county jail.

Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes agreed Friday to postpone the fourth day of testimony in the state vs.

Daeviontae D. Pruitte to July 20.

The Will Marshaun T. County State’s Gaston Attorney’s office has offered a $500 reward for information on the whereabouts of Marshaun T. Gaston, 31.

Gaston was released in April from the Stateville Correctional Center where he was serving a six-year sentence for delivery of drugs from a 2012 conviction in Will County.

State’s Attorney Spokesman Charles Pelkie said forfeiture funds will be used for the witness appearance reward – which

is believed to be the first offered in Will County.

“It is a pretty unique situation. State’s Attorney [James] Glasgow was at the courthouse discussing the case with some Joliet police detectives and thought this would be something we could use to generate some leads,” Pelkie said.

Prosecutors hope Gaston can further tie Pruitte to the Aug. 1, 2012, slaying of Timothy Egner, outside the Wendy’s at 104 N. Center St. in Joliet.

Egner was waiting in his car to give an employee a ride home when he was shot by two handguns, according to trial testimony. Pruitte was caught carrying a handgun on a nearby street the next night.

Ballistic tests later matched the gun Pruitte pleaded guilty to carrying as one used to slay Egner. Pruitte told detectives he found the weapon while walking near Cagwin Street with a friend.

Anyone with information on Gaston’s whereabouts is asked to call Joliet Police at 815-7243045.

School officials hire new assistant principal

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Pershing Elementary School will have a new assistant principal from a Frankfort school district to go along with its new principal.

Joliet Public Schools District 86 officials welcomed Doriane Woods to the school district last week. Woods hails from Frankfort School District 157-C, where she worked for one year as an assistant principal. She also worked for 13 years as a teacher leader for the Bloomington School District.

She will join Araceli Ordaz, who is the new principal at Pershing.

“One of the reasons she was selected was really based on her curriculum experience,” Ordaz said. “One of the things she has proven as a success is her curriculum knowledge. She has been able to do professional devel-

opment for teachers to raise student achievement.”

Ordaz said Woods is experienced with helping teachers align their classroom instruction to Curriculum Core standards and she will be able to come up with lesson plans to meet the needs of the diverse population at District 86.

Woods also is a reading specialist who will help the school district raise reading achievement among students, she said.

Ordaz herself was chosen to become the principal of Pershing in early June. She was previously a principal at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School.

She was one of several administrators who changed positions in June, as school officials appointed new principals for several other schools, such as Farragut Elementary School.

“It’s been going fantastic,” Ordaz said about her principalship thus far. “Pershing has a great reputation for great families, great teacher and academic success.”

Kopczick said Tim Applegate and two partners also are looking to build a private hangar west of where Helland’s would be, but complete architectural drawings have not been submitted to the city.

The city will have to replace the rusted extinguishers at about $72 each, with the total coming to about $3,960, Vogen said. No vote was taken Friday.

• More trees have been knocked down for the northsouth runway extension, Vogen said, but an approach survey still needs to be done for the long-discussed extension.

The $1.3 million project will extend the runway to 5,500 feet, along with an extended taxiway and upgraded runway lighting.

After the updates, the committee went into executive session to discuss pending litigation.

MORRIS – A Plainfield farmer died Friday when his pickup struck a parked semitractor-trailer.

Herman J. Fritz, 78, was killed about 3:25 p.m. Friday when his vehicle struck the trailer at the bottom of the ramp from Brisbin Road onto westbound Interstate 80.

“The trailer had lost a tire and was parked half on the shoulder and half on the road,” Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Fred Rivera said.

Reports said truck driver Jeffrey J. Seefeldt, 42, had set up warning triangles behind the trailer, but placed them incorrectly.

The front of the pickup smashed into the trailer.

Fritz was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:10 p.m. by Grundy County Coroner John Cal-

private hangars at airport

lahan. Seefeldt, of Davenport, Iowa, was not injured, but was ticketed for improper parking, Rivera said.

Fritz’s wife, Margaret, said Saturday the family “appreciated [condolences] but wanted to grieve privately.”

Fritz was arrested June 19 by Plainfield police for failing to appear in court on charges of illegal dumping and burning of waste – the second time Fritz had been taken into custody for alleged activity on his farm near Caton Farm Road and Route 59.

Fritz was accused of felony criminal disposal of waste, including more than 250 cubic feet of dirt, bricks, asphalt, concrete, scrap metal, cardboard and bricks, four counts of misdemeanor criminal disposal of waste, one

The HERALD–NEWS ROMEOVILLE – Police say a man was shot Friday in a parking lot after an encounter with his ex-girlfriend.

The confrontation occurred shortly before 1:47 p.m. in the parking lot at Arysta Foods Company, 300 S. Innovation Drive, according to police reports.

“The victim was confronted by a female from a former domestic relationship along with additional subjects and a

fight ensued,” Cmdr. John Ferdinardo said in a statement.

“During the fight, an occupant of the offending vehicle [shot] the victim in the torso.”

The man was “conscious and alert” when he was taken to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital by Lockport Township firefighters.

Police said Friday the victim and offenders knew each other and the shooting appears to be an isolated incident. The investigation is ongoing.

MORRIS – After only a year with Grundy County, Supervisor of Assessments Stephanie Kennedy has resigned to take another position.

Kennedy submitted her resignation, effective Aug. 7, when she will take a new position as the supervisor of Assessments for LaSalle County.

“I worked at the LaSalle County Assessment office prior to coming to Grundy County in July 2014,” Kennedy said. “The position kind of fell in my lap after their assessor Linda Kendall retired.”

The county assessor’s office determines the value of commercial and private property for taxing purposes, as well as does disaster assessment and processes property tax exemptions.

In her year with Grundy County, Kennedy made “significant progress” in streamlining procedures through implementation of new software in the office and with the Board of Review, according to a news release from the county. She also worked with county GIS to incorporate new mapping and informational systems to improve the assessment process and provide better information to residents.

“She has really brought the assessor’s office up to speed with technology.” Grundy County Board Vice Chairman David

Nelson said Friday. “She will be a hard person to replace.”

Board Chairman David Welter said he is disappointed to see Kennedy leave, but understands the opportunity that arose and her decision to leave.

Kennedy said staff in the assessor’s office have been trained on the implementation of new software and expansion of existing software, and she is certain they can handle the transition.

She said while she was assessing damage in Coal City after the June 22 tornado that she didn’t think twice about how the staff would handle the dayto-day operations in the office, so she knows they are prepared for her predecessor.

“This was certainly a challenging decision,” she said. “I realized this opportunity is the right path for me.”

Kennedy came to Grundy County after serving seven years as assistant supervisor of Assessments for LaSalle County. She also was the deputy assessor of Manlius Township in LaSalle County from 1996 to 2007.

An interim supervisor of Assessments will be appointed by the county’s Economic Development and Tax Committee before Kennedy leaves office, and the appointee can serve in that role for up to 60 days, according to the news release. The vacancy will be posted immediately, and will be available for viewing on the Grundy County website at www.grundyco.org.

THE HERALD-NEWS JOLIET – The Will County Health Department is advising post-exposure rabies treatment for a Homer Glen family in the wake of a second potential rabies exposure in four days.

Rabies was confirmed late Thursday in a bat collected from the garage of a home on the 13,000 block of West Little Creek.

On Monday, a bat that later tested positive for rabies was collected from the same garage, according to a news release from the health department.

Because of two positives from the same location in less than a week, Will County Infectious Disease Control recommends the three people who reside there consult a physician and strongly consider receiving post-exposure rabies treatment, as well as recommends the family seek the help of a

mitigation specialist to help determine if a bat colony is located nearby.

“We’re entering the prime season for bat rabies,” Will County Animal Control Administrator Lee Schild said in the news release. “It’s important that individuals report any potential bat exposures to animal control authorities as soon as possible.

It is also important that pet dogs and cats stay current on rabies vaccinations. The vaccine represents our first line of defense against the rabies virus.”

Five Will County bats have tested positive for rabies during 2015; the county has submitted 57 for testing.

Rabies is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected warm-blooded animal.

The Disease is always fatal if anti-rabies treatment is not quickly initiated.

JOLIET – A Will County Health Department mosquito monitoring site in Bolingbrook yielded the county’s first West Nile virus positive mosquito sample for 2015.

The mosquito batch was collected Wednesday by Will County Environmental Health staff and confirmed positive on Thursday. Environmental Health operates 14 mosquito monitoring sites strategically placed throughout Will County, according to a news release from the health department.

The county reported 27

WNV-positive mosquito batches during 2014. The Illinois Department of Public Health reported 1,271 mosquito positives last summer.

The state also reported 41 virus-positive birds, 44 human cases and four fatalities.

There were no human cases reported from Will County a year ago.

WNV is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Birds pass WNV to mosquitoes during a blood meal.

Most people infected with WNV exhibit no clinical symptoms, but approximately 20 percent of cases result in

mild or serious illness. Preliminary symptoms typically include fever, headaches or body aches. More serious illnesses can result in meningitis, encephalitis, or death.

The Health Department recommends that people spending time outdoors take precautions against mosquito by wearing long sleeves, pants, shoes and socks, and using insect repellent is also advised.

The Health Department also collects a small number of birds for testing by the state of Illinois.

To report dead birds, call 815-740-7632.

During the investigation, detectives and officers initiated a search of a vehicle, residence and garage in the 400 block of East High Street where a handgun was recovered.

Mijares was arrested and transported to the Grundy County Jail where he is being held on a $250,000 bond, 10 percent to apply, in addition to the ICE hold.

Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said it is

“He won’t be able to bond out. He will be retained and given to ICE when his proceedings are complete.”

Kevin Callahan Grundy County Sheriff not common to receive ICE holds on people being held in the Grundy County Jail, but it has happened occasionally.

“He won’t be able to bond

out. He will be retained and given to ICE when his proceedings are complete,” Callahan said.

According to the ICE website, the Department of Homeland Security has instituted a program that ensures immigration enforcement resources are focused on the removal of high-priority cases, “specifically individuals who pose a threat to public safety such as criminal aliens and national security threats, as well as repeat immigration law violators and recent border entrants.”

He used the construction debris in lieu of dirt and sandbags, which he claimed wouldn’t prevent receding flood waters from taking his farm.

GEORGE E. DVORAK Born: Jan. 13, 1949 Died: July 10, 2015

George Edward Dvorak, 66 of Essex, formerly of Joliet, passed away peacefully at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center with his loving wife, Bonnie, nee Muchitch by his side on July 10, 2015.

George was born in Joliet on January 13, 1949, to George and Anna (Bedesky) Dvorak. He married his true love Bonnie on June 28, 1969.

They made their home in Ingalls Park and raised two girls. They moved to Essex in 1989, and he began service on the Essex Volunteer Fire Department in 1991. He became an Essex Fire Trustee on September 12, 2000. George grew up in Joliet, but was happiest when he moved to Essex. He was a member of the South Wilmington Sportsmen’s Club

HERMAN J. FRITZ Herman J. Fritz, life long resident of Plainfield, passed away July 10, 2015.

Visitation will be Tuesday, July 14, 3:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Overman-Jones Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Plainfield. Services will be Wednesday, July 15, at Peace Lutheran Church, Plainfield.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the staff involved in the care of my father and family.

As you can imagine, I have high expectations of hospice, but you folks exceeded those expectations.

Everyone was kind, caring and considerate. (I especially would like to steal all of your CNAs and nurses.) My father was kept comfortable at all times and he had a peaceful death. I am so grateful that mom and I were at his bedside when he passed. I don’t know how families go through this experience without hospice. I am forever grateful that Joliet Area Community Hospice was there for us.

Chicago school’s bid for loan from pension fund shelved

CHICAGO – The Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund have ended discussions on a school district proposal to borrow $500 million from the pension to avoid additional layoffs and classroom cuts.

In a joint statement, the school district and pension fund officials announced Friday the end of discussions on a proposed fiscal year 2016 pension payment schedule, which was part of the borrowing deal. Officials didn’t say why talks about the borrowing fell apart or whether they might resume in the future.

The district recently paid a $634 million pension bill that officials said it couldn’t afford. As a result, the nation’s third-largest school district plans 1,400 layoffs, scaled-back maintenance and reduced transportation.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel blames state legislators for worsening the situation and says a property tax increase is up for consideration.

Pluto-bound spacecraft carrying ashes of astronomer

STREATOR – The NASA spacecraft set to complete a flyby of Pluto on Tuesday is carrying some of the ashes of the Illinois astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet.

Clyde Tombaugh grew up on a farm in Streator, 80 miles southwest of Chicago, where he became enthralled with the night sky with the help of his uncle’s homemade telescope. That fascination led him to a job at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, where he discovered Pluto in 1930 at the age of 24.

As NASA’s New Horizons space-

craft and its cargo of scientific instruments close in on the mysterious, tiny, icy world after nine years and 3 billion miles, Tombaugh’s relatives and residents of his hometown are remembering him as an inspiration.

Tombaugh died in 1997 and his widow watched in tears in 2006 as a rocket carrying the New Horizons craft lifted off from Cape Canaveral.

That same year, Pluto was reclassified from a full-fledged plant to a dwarf planet based on the discovery of similar objects in a band of celestial bodies beyond Neptune known as the Kuiper Belt.

ComEd makes plan to keep financial assistance going

CHICAGO – Commonwealth Edison officials said they are working on a way to continue op-

erating an assistance program for low-income customers who need help paying their electric bills.

The Illinois budget crisis has caused a shutdown at CEDA, the agency that administers ComEd’s CARE program.

ComEd issued a news release Friday saying it is preparing to open satellite locations and hire additional workers to process CARE applications if the shutdown continues.

The CARE program helps military families, veterans, senior citizens and others who are struggling to pay their electric bills. This is the fourth year in a row that ComEd has provided $10 million in financial assistance. Eligibility requirements are available online or by calling 1-888-806CARE (2273).

ComEd provides service to approximately 3.8 million customers across northern Illinois.

Hundreds mourn 7-year-old boy killed in Chicago gunfire

CHICAGO – Hundreds of people have turned out to mourn a 7-year-old victim of Chicago gun violence who loved dancing and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Police said Amari Brown was celebrating July 4 at his father’s home on Chicago’s West Side when someone opened fire.

Police Chief Garry McCarthy said the shot that killed the boy was intended for his father, a “ranking gang member.”

The Chicago Sun-Times reported some of the mourners who attended Brown’s funeral Saturday were barely tall enough to peer inside his casket. Some wore Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirts or costumes.

Forty-eight people were hurt by gunfire in Chicago over the holiday weekend. Seven died.

Hundreds of boats set sail from Chicago for Race to Mackinac

​CHICAGO – Hundreds of sailboats have departed Chicago’s Navy Pier for the annual Race to Mackinac.

More than 300 boats are participating in the 333-mile race across Lake Michigan. Those in the racing division headed for Mackinac Island, Michigan, on Saturday, with a light lake wind. A cruising division set sail Friday.

The event – now in its 107th year – is the oldest annual freshwater distance race in the world.

Sailors race through the night, with most participants taking 40 to 60 hours to finish. The record was set in 2002 when a team finished in 23 hours and 30 minutes.

Meteorologist Chris Bedford has warned sailors to keep an eye out for possible severe weather.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Clinton to make boosting wages central to her plan

WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton will make boosting middle class incomes and wages the focus of her economic agenda, pointing to stagnant paychecks as the central challenge facing the U.S. economy.

The Democratic presidential candidate intends to lay out the themes of her economic plan in a speech on Monday, emphasizing the need for the real income of everyday Americans to rise steadily alongside corporate profits and executive compensation.

While Republican candidate Jeb Bush has called for an annual growth rate of 4 percent, Clinton will assert that the nation’s economy should not be judged by a specific growth figure but rather by how much income increases for middle-class households.

“For a typical working American, their income has not been rising anywhere near as fast as it should be rising, and that is the challenge we face,” said David Kamin, a New York University law professor who has advised Clinton’s campaign. “It’s not a new problem, and it’s going to take a holistic vision.”

SF sheriff’s woes began before immigration uproar SAN FRANCISCO – Ross Mirkarimi was a rising San Francisco politician when he was elected sheriff – and then the trouble started.

Since his election in 2012

to manage the city’s jails, the Democrat who served successfully for eight years on the Board of Supervisors has endured a series of scandals and gaffes in his department that are hindering his campaign for re-election in November.

Shortly after his swearing in, he was charged with domestic violence for bruising the arm of his wife, Eliana Lopez, a former Venezuelan soap opera star.

That incident still follows him to this day, even as he tries to deflect mounting criticism of his department’s handling of a Mexican national released from jail despite a federal immigration hold request. That man is charged with the fatal shooting of a San Francisco woman on July 1, an incident that has galvanized opposition to the city’s policy of ignoring immigration requests from federal authorities.

Trump antes up on immigration stance

LAS VEGAS – Business developer and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump says his comments about immigration have become a movement and has pointed to violence perpetrated by immigrants in the U.S. illegally to defend his stance.

Trump is speaking on Saturday to a couple of thousand people gathered for the annual Libertarian-led FreedomFest inside a Planet Hollywood ballroom on the Las Vegas Strip.

Egyptian policemen stand at the base of the crumbled facade of the Italian consulate after a blast that killed at least one person Saturday in Cairo. An Italian embassy official said the consulate was closed at the time of the explosion and no staff members were injured.

Car bombing at Italian Consulate in Cairo kills 1

By BRIAN ROHAN and SARAH EL DEEB The Associated Press CAIRO – A car bomb ripped into the Italian Consulate in Cairo early Saturday, destroying a section of the historic building in a powerful blast that killed one Egyptian and marked the most significant attack yet on foreign interests as militants target the country’s security forces.

A group calling itself The Islamic State in Egypt claimed responsibility for the bombing in a message circulated on social media. The authenticity of the claim could not be immediately verified but it was distributed by known militant sympathizers. Previous claims linked to Islamic State attacks in Egypt had been signed as the group’s Sinai Province. It wasn’t immediately clear what, if anything, the new name signified.

Egypt faces threats from multiple insurgent factions, including the Islamic State affiliate in the restive Sinai that

the military says killed at least 17 soldiers in a recent assault there. Security officials from several branches of Egypt’s security forces previously told The Associated Press that that attack killed dozens more.

The bombing struck at around 6:30 a.m., exploding in a side street in downtown Cairo near the building’s back entrance and a busy highway overpass. Italian authorities said the consulate was closed at the time and none of its workers were wounded.

The blast killed a passer-by and wounded eight, one of whom is still in the hospital, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. Egyptian Heath Ministry official Hossam Abdel-Ghaffar told the AP that the man killed had some of his limbs blown off.

Italian Premier Matteo Renzi spoke with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi after the attack, saying in a statement: “We will not leave Egypt alone: Italy and Egypt are and will always be together in the fight against terror-

ism.”

Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said that Italy would increase security at Italian sites in Cairo and greater Egypt.

“This is not a challenge that the West will win by itself,” he said. “It is a challenge that we will win together with the large majority of the Islamic community and of the Arab governments.”

An Egyptian security official said investigators were reviewing closed-circuit video recordings from the area, noting that one vehicle that disintegrated in the explosion had license plates from the canal city of Suez.

The blast heavily damaged the distinctive early 20th century building that once housed a school and became the Italian Consulate after World War II. Charred car parts littered the street, which flooded in some areas from rupture water pipes. Several floors of the consulate were destroyed on one side, leaving a gaping hole.

20 years on, ex-S.C. gov Beasley’s prayer on flag answered The Associated Press

paign stop, accusing him of being disloyal and dishonest for wanting to move the flag from its perch on the dome. Receiving the most votes in the primary, he ultimately lost to Jim DeMint, left politics and went on to teach at Harvard University, do missionary work and receive a Profile in Courage Award from the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum for his work to move the flag.

A similar controversy also brewed in Georgia. A Confederate emblem was attached to the state flag in 1956. In 2001,

then-Gov. Roy Barnes decided to get rid of that flag. His action caused so much outrage that Barnes – like Beasley – was voted out of office in 2002. And like Beasley, Barnes was honored with a Profile in Courage award.

This week, Beasley watched as another Republican governor, Nikki Haley, put ink to paper and signed the bill that would remove the flag from the Statehouse grounds entirely.

Choking up as he reflected on the nine black Charleston churchgoers – including the

church pastor who served in the South Carolina Senate, Clementa Pinckney – whose deaths last month fueled the momentum that ultimately pulled the flag down, Beasley said he spent the days after the shootings talking to lawmakers whose minds he would have never thought would change when it comes to the flag.

But, after having heard victims’ relatives espouse forgiveness and love toward the man accused of the killings, he said legislators told him their hearts had been changed.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Confederate battle flag has been an albatross around David Beasley’s neck for 20 years, costing him the political legacy of a second gubernatorial term, a seat in the U.S. Senate and beyond.

Now that it’s been removed from South Carolina’s Statehouse grounds, the former Republican governor says the unity that has grown from the flag debate was worth the wait – and personal sacrifice.

As governor in 1996, the native of Darlington, in South Carolina’s northeastern corner, infuriated fellow Republicans when, amid threats of

boycotts and lawsuits and protests, he went on statewide television, saying he had reversed his position in whether the flag should remain atop the dome after praying about it.

Lawmakers rejected Beasley’s plan to relocate the flag to a monument on the grounds, and voters bounced him from office in a 1998 re-election bid.

Yet, in 2000, Beasley watched as his proposal essentially came to life, as the flag was raised on a pole near a monument to Confederate soldiers.

In 2004, Beasley returned to politics, vying for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Fritz Hollings. Confederate flag supporters hounded Beasley at almost every cam-

Typhoon pounds China with heavy rains The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING – A typhoon pounded the Chinese coast south of Shanghai on Saturday with strong winds and heavy rainfall, submerging roads, felling trees and forcing the evacuation of 1.1 million people.

Typhoon Chan-hom slammed ashore with winds of up to 100 miles an hour near Zhoushan, a city east of the port of Ningbo in Zhejiang province. It has dumped more than 4 inches of rain since late Friday – about a month’s average in less than 24 hours, China Central Television and the Xinhua News Agency reported.

No deaths or injuries have been reported by Saturday evening.

“It was so windy that the rain came in through the windows even though they were closed,” Zhoushan resident Zhang Zhouqun, 53, manager of a logistics company, said in a telephone interview.

The storm felled 10-yearold trees in his neighborhood, stranded cars in 2-footdeep water and swamped half the fields, Zhang said. Police were out barring people from trying to drive. At the urging

Militia members evacuate residents from a neighborhood flooded by heavy rains from Typhoon Chan-Hom in Shaoxing in eastern China’s Zhejiang province Saturday. Some 1.1 million people were evacuated from coastal areas of Zhejiang and more than 46,000 in neighboring Jiangsu province ahead of the storm, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. of local officials, Zhang’s family had stocked up a few days’ worth of groceries, he said.

Some 1.1 million people had been evacuated from

coastal areas of Zhejiang and more than 46,000 in neighboring Jiangsu province ahead of the storm, Xinhua said.

The provincial flood control

bureau said 28,764 ships had been ordered back to port.

The national weather service said earlier the typhoon might be the strongest to

strike China since the communist government took power in 1949. It initially was deemed a super-typhoon but was downgraded at midday Saturday to a strong typhoon and was weakening further as it moved inland.

Heavy downpour was reported in some areas, including the village of Lai’ao, which recorded more than 16 inches of rain, according to Xinhua.

More than 100 trains and 600 flights were canceled in the cities of Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou and Taizhou, according to Xinhua. Buses and passenger ferries also suspended service.

Earlier, Chan-hom caused 20 injuries as it moved over islands in southern Japan, Kyodo news agency reported.

The storm dumped rain on the northern Philippines and Taiwan, where several flights were suspended. The stock market and public offices were closed Friday in Taipei, Taiwan’s capital.

Chan-hom is the second major storm to hit China this week, after Typhoon Linfa forced 56,000 people from their homes in the southern province of Guangdong province.

Afghanistan says U.S. strikes destroy its Islamic State branch

By RAHIM FAIEZ The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghanistan said Saturday that recent U.S. airstrikes it assisted destroyed the top leadership of a fledging Islamic State affiliate there, potentially striking a major blow to an insurgent group already targeted by local Taliban fighters.

While U.S. officials declined to confirm it, Afghan authorities said an American airstrike Friday killed Islamic State affiliate leader Hafeez Sayeed and more than 30 other militants. That comes after Afghan officials earlier said another U.S. airstrike killed the affiliate’s second-highest official, Gul Zaman, and six others, including a former Pakistani Taliban spokesman named Shahidullah Shahid

who earlier had joined the group.

“With the killings of Hafiz Sayeed, Gul Zaman and Shahidullah Shahid, who were the high-profile figures of Daesh in Afghanistan, we have destroyed the base of ISIS,” said Abdul Hassib Sediqi, a spokesman for Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security, using two alternate names for the militant group.

Sediqi offered no photographs or other evidence to show the strikes killed the Islamic State affiliate’s top leaders, though he said Afghan authorities verified a corpse from Friday’s strike was Sayeed. Militants with the group have not discussed the strikes online.

NATO officials declined to immediately comment on the claim, saying they would issue

a statement later Saturday.

U.S. Army Col. Brian Tribus, a spokesman for U.S. Forces-Afghanistan, confirmed Americans carried out an airstrike Friday in Nangarhar’s Achin District, but declined to comment further.

NATO and U.S. officials have not commented on the strike that Afghan officials said killed Zaman and Shahid, which they said took place Monday in the same district as Friday’s strike.

The Islamic State group, which holds a self-declared “caliphate” across roughly third of Syria and neighboring Iraq, has inspired militants across the greater Middle East and Africa to declare allegiance to its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The militants include those in Egypt who purportedly claimed a car

bombing early Saturday at the Italian Consulate in Cairo that killed one person.

They also include militants in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the target of a U.S.-led invasion after the 2001 al-Qaida terror attacks on America.

Disenchanted extremists from the Taliban and other organizations, impressed by the Islamic State group’s territorial gains and slick online propaganda, began raising its black flag in extremist-dominated areas of both countries in recent months.

Analysts and officials say the number of Islamic State supporters in the Afghan-Pakistan region remains small and that the group faces resistance from militants with strong tribal links. However, the rise of even a small Islamic State affiliate could further

destabilize the region and complicate U.S. and NATO efforts to end the 13-year Afghan war.

In April, a motorcycle-riding suicide bomber attacked a line of people waiting outside a bank in eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 35 and wounding 125 in an assault the country’s president blamed on the Islamic State group. Other violence has been blamed on the Islamic State affiliate, including gun battles between its followers and the Taliban, who warned the Islamic State group to stay out of the country. Afghan officials have suggested the Islamic State affiliate had a presence in three of its provinces, including Nangarhar, which borders Pakistan and frequently sees militants cross its borders.

ACT now on the shares you bought Dear Mr. Berko: In the summer of 2008, when the stock market was tanking, I had $1,500 to risk and bought 50 shares of Actavis PLC at $21.

Now my husband is pressuring me hard to sell. He wants me to invest the money in another issue with the same growth potential. We discuss this, sometimes heatedly, several times a week. I’d appreciate your recommendation. – ST, Moline Dear ST: Your $1,050 investment in Actavis grew to $15,000 in 7 years. How swell to be a lucky lady. If you follow your husband’s advice and buy another stock with the same growth potential, your $15,000 would grow to $105,000. The key word here is “if.” And “if a frog had wings, it wouldn’t bump its butt on the ground.”

I think your husband’s jealous of your success. Ask him to find another issue with the same potential, and when he does, sell half your Actavis and let him invest the proceeds. My dad used to say that divorce is bounty from the mutiny. So

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko you must decide if it’s worth $7,500 to save a marriage.

Some say that the Lord invented whiskey so the Irish couldn’t control the world.

And Actavis PLC (ACT-$299), a global pharmaceutical, home ported in Ireland, has grown revenues from $2.5 billion in 2008 to about $15.3 billion this year as earnings improved from $1.89 to $16 per share. And a good portion of that growth derives from a brilliant Irish acquisition strategy. After all: “fee-fi-fo-fum” who can resist the charms of an Irishman?

This integrated, global, specialty pharmaceutical company designs, manufactures, markets and distributes more than 750 generic, branded generic, brand name, biosimilars, over-the-counter products and pharmaceuticals in 60 countries. And since you bought ACT, those Irishers

have been busy acquiring Arrow Pharmaceutical, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Specifar, Warner Chilcott, Forest Labs, and in May, the lads bought Allergan. Allergan (well-known for Botox) is also a leader in ophthalmics, dermatology, neuroscience drugs, urologics and cosmetics. Allergan will increase ACT’s revenues to $24.5 billion in 2016 and, accordingly, should accelerate ACT earnings to $22.25 per share next year. The Allergan deal has an impressive and fecund drug pipeline that includes new therapeutics for Botox and sustained-release products for retina diseases.

That’s cool beans! While the merger has Wall Street’s blessing, some wonder if the boys from Dublin are overextending themselves with four large acquisitions, Watson, Forrest, Warner and Allergan, since 2011.

However, management is mindful that they must cautiously measure their steps for a few years. The synergy capture from Allergan will be

a key bottom-line support in the short term; however, trimming various costs over the long term to continue generating double-digit profit growth may be counterproductive.

Management has purposefully stalled its acquisition binge to synchronize and harmonize its many recently acquired moving parts. In the last few years, ACT has managed to increase profit margins from 13 percent to 28 percent and believes it can earn net profit margins of 34 percent by 2018.

That’s impressive!

An analyst I know at Vanguard, (Vanguard owns 21 million shares) is very impressed with the company’s research in generic biosimilars. These biologic drugs are at the cutting edge of modern medicine.

Treatments run into multiples of tens of thousands of dollars and ACT has a strong industry partnership with Amgen for developing biosimilars. These drugs are not yet available in the U.S., and there’s a race between biotechs to have their biosimilars approved, all of

which face stringent manufacturing, regulatory and marketing hurdles in the U.S. This is currently a $10 billion global market that’s growing like wild fire. And ACT’s partnership with Amgen includes biosimilar versions of Avastin, Erbitux, Herceptin and Rituxan.

Argus, S&P Capital IQ, Goldman Sachs, Reuters, UBS and Morningstar are some of the institutions that have a buy recommendation on ACT. Millions of shares are held by mutual funds such as Vanguard, Wellington, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, BlackRock and Legg Mason. John Paulson, the hedge fund guru, who made billions in the sub-prime mortgage fiasco, owns over 5 million shares. These pros believe ACT will trade significantly higher in a few years.

And I agree.

OUR VIEW

Procrastinating politicians put public at risk of peril, pain

“Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” Benjamin Franklin is famous for saying.

As a multitalented Founding Father, Franklin lived by that motto. He was a printer, author, postmaster, civic activist, scientist and diplomat.

As an inventor, he created the lightning rod, bifocal glasses, and the Franklin stove.

He was a key 18th-century political figure.

And, most important, he was a statesman, negotiating key treaties that got the fledgling nation off to a good start, signing the Declaration of Independence, and helping to fashion the U.S. Constitution.

Franklin didn’t achieve his status as a statesman by putting off important business until some undetermined future date. He promptly did the work at hand, and then moved on.

Illinois’ 21st-century political figures could learn a lesson from Franklin.

Today marks the 12th day of the new fiscal year for financially troubled Illinois. It also marks the 12th day that the state is without a budget.

Illinois’ key political leaders – Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic legislative leaders, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton – knew they would be at loggerheads a long time ago, probably since Election Day last November, and certainly since Rauner was inaugurated in January.

But as the weeks and months passed, they kept putting off realistic budget negotiations, and putting them off, and putting them off.

Instead, the Democrats in the Legislature approved a budget they knew Rauner would not sign, intending to put him in a difficult spot.

That’s politics, but it’s cer-

AMENDMENT

tainly not statesmanship.

Rauner carried through on his threat to veto the budget (except for education funding), and the stalemate continues.

State workers may not get paid. Thousands of people risk not receiving needed services that the state supplies. Facilities have been closed or are at risk of closing.

All because we’re ruled by procrastinators who put politics above statesmanship.

Last year, we chided Gov. Pat Quinn for putting off his budget address until after the primary. We noted Quinn would have achieved hero status from members of the Illinois Procrastinators Society, if such a group existed.

But this year, state leaders have done much more than put off one speech. They’ve put off financing for the entire state.

Illinois’ procrastinators have got to love it, although nobody else does – particularly those hard hit by the inaction and uncertainty.

Democrats who run the Legislature – the leaders of whom are largely responsible for the years of fiscal mismanagement that has landed Illinois in the quagmire it’s in – need to realize they don’t have a rubber-stamp governor.

Rauner needs to realize he can’t get all the reforms he wants.

Perhaps Franklin’s inventions suggest a way forward for Illinois leaders who are feeling the heat and who have become lightning rods for public criticism because of their procrastination.

Franklin’s bifocals create clear vision, both close at hand and at a distance.

Likewise, Illinois leaders need to embrace a clear-sighted budget that serves both immediate and long-term needs.

And they need to do it today.

Don’t put it off until tomorrow.

Bipartisan reform directly ahead Earlier this year, I served as a co-convener of the first-ever Bipartisan Summit on Criminal Justice Reform in Washington, D.C., with former White House adviser Van Jones, the American Conservative Union’s Pat Nolan and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Sponsors and partners included the American Civil Liberties Union and Drug Police Alliance on the left and the American Legislative Exchange Council and Koch Industries on the right.

This coalition came together to help lead a national conversation to reduce our bloated prison population, especially by freeing nonviolent offenders.

During the last 30 years, there has been a 500 percent increase in the number of inmates in federal prison, and nearly half of those are serving sentences for nonviolent drug offenses.

If you lived through the 1980s, you recall the dire,

VIEWS Donna Brazile dystopian predictions of experts that we would soon face a world of “superpredators,” along with skyrocketing crime that would force families to flee to gated communities, with parents dashing to work and home like frightened gazelles.

It didn’t happen. Instead, crime has fallen steadily for the last 25 years, according to statistics compiled by the FBI and scholars. But while crime plunged 45 percent, our prison population skyrocketed.

Although the United States comprises only 5 percent of the world’s population, we have 25 percent of the world’s prison population.

This makes us the world’s leading jailer, beating out countries like Russia, Iran, North Korea and China.

In addition, the costs of jailing are budget-busting.

Taxpayers paid as much to house federal prisoners in 2013 as we paid to run the Department of Justice in 1980. Because of the jump in the number of federal prisoners, incarceration spending has increased by more than 1,100 percent over 30 years.

President Barack Obama told the Bipartisan Summit in a video interview that a consequence of the ‘80s crackdown “was this massive trend towards incarceration, even of nonviolent drug offenders,” who enter prison “at great expense to the state, many times train to become more hardened criminals while in prison, come out and are basically unemployable.

And end up being pulled back in.”

Overall, 90 percent of the nation’s $260 billion spent on annual incarceration costs are borne at the local level.

To the Editor: We were largely on our own as kids in the ’50s. Besides hanging around the grade school for park district activities such as horseshoes, washers, crafts, etc., we would walk to Dellwood Park to climb the flagstone cliffs, fish in the ponds formed by the two dams, and venture into the spooky Romanesque defunct roller-coaster tunnels under the dam.

On other days we might hop on the park-district supplied yellow bus that would take us to Chaney pool, where we could frolic all day for 15 cents, then buy chips at Kobe’s store if we had an extra nickel or dime, sometimes earned by gathering used pop bottles to return for deposit.

Lawn mowing was just an understood unpaid chore, with no such thing as power mowers. Sometimes we would dig trenches in the open fields and drag corrugated tin, old plywood, etc. over to cover the trenches to form tunnels and underground forts, from which we would launch ‘rubber-gun’ wars – stretch a big rubber band made from truck inner tubes over a 2x4 and fabricate a sort of trigger.

Time for more changes with problems of criminal justice system • BRAZILE

Continued from page 39 Van Jones, president of the Dream Corps and founder of #Cut50, stated, “Nearly 70 million Americans [have been] convicted of a criminal offense or served time in prison and still carry societal stigma as a result.”

Inimai Chettiar, director of New York University’s Brennan Center’s Justice Program, said, “We are not locking away the people who are habitual violent offenders anymore, we are locking up everyone.”

We have a prison popula-

tion of 2.3 million Americans.

Disproportionately, 60 to 75 percent of federal drug offenders are drawn from black and Latino youth, according to experts. This does not reflect the racial breakdown in drug offenses. What good does it do to jail people who pose no physical threat to others, including youth who need help to realize the promise of a future?

The Koch brothers want the release of nonviolent offenders speeded up. They propose ending law requirements that job applicants reveal past convictions. This produces nonviolent drug offenders who are jailed, then

released into a community that will not employ them.

Conservatives and liberals are united in the conviction that we need to give these youth second chances.

There is also a chance that Congress might act. Pending legislation in both the House and Senate would help reduce the number of nonviolent offenders in our jails. The Smarter Sentencing Act, offered by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, is an effort to give judges more leniency in sentencing nonviolent drug offenders on a case-by-case basis.

Under the proposed law, judges would be able to issue

a sentence below the statutory mandatory minimum for a broader category of nonviolent drug offenses. The bill is designed to modernize federal judge sentencing policies in what could be an opportunity to weaken the status quo of continuing to overcrowd our prisons with nonviolent drug offenders.

Obama also is likely to commute the sentences of 40plus nonviolent drug possession offenders.

But it is only a drop in the bucket. More than 30,000 applications were received from prisoners seeking to qualify for the president’s clemency.

His plan is largely symbolic,

but it signals a turning point.

And perhaps at next year’s Bipartisan Summit on Criminal Justice Reform, we can build an even larger movement to make more Americans aware of the problems of our criminal justice system.

We might even agree on several courses of action.

It’s time for those with the power to put changes in action to do so.

Morris team interacts with kids at youth camp

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The themes of helping others and team bonding have taken center stage this summer for the Morris High School boys soccer team.

First, 17 members of the boys and girls soccer teams went to Coal City a couple of weeks ago to volunteer their time. When they were unable to get a bus to where the major cleanup was needed, Morris coach David Valdivia heard that help was needed at the Methodist Church, so they went there and helped unload trucks that were loaded with supplies.

“That was a funny thing,” Valdivia said. “They had stopped taking volunteers back on buses by the time we got there. I overheard that help was needed at the Methodist Church, so we just went over there.

“The kids wanted to help.

When I asked who wanted to go over and help, all hands went up in the air. It was definitely something that made these kids feel good, and I will be interested to see how the bonding from this helps us this fall.”

On Saturday, the team held its first youth soccer camp for children ages 6 to 14, run by Valdivia with help from about 20 members of the Redskins’ soccer team. In fact, the number of Redskins (16) outnumbered the number of campers.

Proceeds from this camp will help fund the Redskins’ visit to the Saint Louis University camp next week.

“The money we bring in from this camp will help us go to Saint Louis University next weekend,” Valdivia said. “It will be awesome for our team bonding this summer. We have more kids from the team than we have campers. A lot of the players wanted to help out.

“This is just the first year we have done this. We hope that word gets out that it’s a good camp and that more people will sign up in the future.”

After going through warmup drills, the campers paired up and played a game. One camper had the ball and tried to pass it to his or her part-

Once they did, the partner with the ball had to try to get it past the Redskin to the parter.

This taught the young players to move without the ball, yet still remain close to their partner. After the tag, it taught them how to keep a ball away

from the defender.

During the course of the game, it was hard to tell who was having more fun, the kids trying to tag the Redskins or the Redskins themselves.

“We are teaching basic skills and fundamentals,” Valdivia said. “But we also have a lot of fun activities, too.

I have found from coaching young kids in MSA (Morris

Soccer Association) that keeping it fun, so that it doesn’t all seem like work, is the best way to teach kids.”

After that game, there was a quick break for a drink and then they split up for dribbling and goalkeeping drills.

Matt Borgstrom, a member of the Redskins’ team, had a bit of fun with the campers in the goalkeeping group. Borgstrom, is about 6-foot-1, addressed the young would-be goalies.

“The first rule of being a goalie is to be six feet tall,” he said to the players that barely came up to his belly button.

“Can you jump up and touch the crossbar?”

After telling them he was joking, he went off to instruct them in goalkeeping basics.

“We have a pretty good turnout for the first year,” Valdivia said. “We have to thank our sponsors, too. Without them, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Gold Level sponsors for the camp were Century 21 – JoEllyn Zink Johnson and Firewater BBQ and Brew in Crest Hill. Silver level sponsors were Ben’s Home Improvement and Handyman Service, Mike Glaser – Class of 2003, Mr. Brown’s Limo Service, Tobby’s MexiMart and Restaurant, True North and 3rd Degree Design and Apparel.

AUTO RACING

Michael DiNovo for Shaw Media

Top Fuel driver Tony Schumacher makes a qualifying run Saturday at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet.

“I took Schumacher Electric and built it tremendously, and the philosophy was the same there. If I work longer and harder than the competition, I’ll beat them, and that’s exactly what I did. I’d be at the office until 9 o’clock at night on a regular basis but that’s just the way I am, that’s the way that I’ve always been and that’s the way that I will continue to be.”

The 70-year-old, who moved to the northwest side of Chicago when he was 3 and grew up in an apartment above a tavern that his grandparents owned, has come a long way.

But he doesn’t really reflect on the many successes that he’s had in his life, preferring to think about what he can still achieve in the future.

“There’s nothing easy in this world,” Schumacher said.

“My first business venture was being an owner, driver, mechanic and babysitter of a drag race operation. I started running my own Funny Car, and then I had a second and a third back in the early 1970s.

“I was only in my mid-20s and I learned a lot back in those days. A lot of people taught me a lot of things and the right way to do things.

Because of my mother and my father, and from those business days, it’s caused me to have the foundation that I have today and you always want to keep adding to that, and hopefully, I’ll add to it some more in the near future.

“I think about what I’m going to accomplish tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. I don’t necessarily relish what I’ve accomplished, even though I’m certainly pleased with it, but it isn’t something that I relive. What do we need to do at Schumacher Electric to continue to grow the company? And I what do I need to do with the race operation to continue for that to be positive and so that we can do a better job for our fans, my teammates and for NHRA?” Schumacher got back into the drag racing business when his son, Tony, started competing. He won his first Top Fuel

championship in 1999 and then won six straight titles from 2004-09 before capturing his eight title in the category last season. He’s the all-time leader with 79 wins in the division.

“I never imagined from when I quit driving on my own that I would ever be back in this sport again,” Don Schumacher said. “And certainly when I came back with Tony in a Top Fuel car in September of 1998, I never imagined having any more than just that one car and then all of a sudden it was two, and then it was four and now it’s seven. And there were times in my career when I had Pro Stock car and Pro Stock Motorcycle also that I had 10 or 12 teams out here and that was really overwhelming to deal with.

“This year is the most successful that we’ve ever been. We’ve won 13 world championships and both Top Fuel and Funny Car championships three times.

We’re number one and two in

• Sunday, July 12, 2015

JOLIET – When Don Schumacher is asked about the biggest influences in helping him to shape a career that has been successful in so many different areas, his answer is simple.

His mother, Jean and father, Albert.

“I think that everything has to relate back to your mother and your father,” said Schumacher, president of Don Schumacher Racing. “My Don Schumacher dad started out at Woodward Schumacher Electric and changed it to Schumacher Electric after Otto Woodward passed away and that forced my father to step up and really push himself for the business.

“Both my mom and my dad were risk-takers, and I have to say that I’m a risk-taker, also. To be an entrepreneur in business, you have to be a risk-taker. So I’ve been a risk-taker really my whole life, and I’ve always gone out and wandered and done different things. I was never mechanically inclined or had worked on a car until I went to a drag strip and raced a car that I drove on the street and I got beat.”

Schumacher has been a competitor his whole life, whether as a pioneer in Funny Car, as owner of the world’s largest manufacturer of battery chargers or as the namesake of a successful NHRA racing team that has won 13 world championships and currently has the 1-2 points leaders in Top Fuel and the top three scorers in Funny Car. “I just have always believed in my life that if you work longer and harder than the competition, that you’ll beat them,” Schumacher said.

“That’s really the philosophy that I’ve used all along and as I went along in life, I learned pretty early on to surround yourself with great people and they’ll make you look good.

I’ve never been afraid to any of those things.

Top Fuel right now and one, two and three in Funny Car. We’ve won half of the Top Fuel races and three-quarters of the Funny Car races this year. It’s been a remarkable year for DSR. “Other people run quicker and faster than we do at every race, pretty much. We qualify very well, and we’ve raced even smarter. But that really goes to the people that I’ve surrounded myself with. The crew chiefs, the assistant crew chiefs, the mechanics and the drivers, it’s all been created by them and I’ve been blessed to be the guy to put this thing together and take it to this level.

Schumacher has been a leader in the sport in safety innovations and marketing.

Those things helped him to become the 11th individual involved with drag racing to be named as a inductee in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talladega in 2013.

“Being inducted in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame still just amazes me because I still don’t understand how my name or my likeness can be next to those people. It isn’t something that I ever worked toward,” Schumacher said.

“This is a business out here, it isn’t a hobby. It would take a very wealthy individual and make him probably not even moderately rich after a period of time. It’s an expensive sport and I’m blessed with the sponsors that I have and I have been able to continue to grow my operation in Brownsburg, which I kind of call ‘my three-car garage,’ but we fit 20 tractors and trailers in it, and it’s about 120,000 square feet and we’re getting ready add on to that.

“There’s been tough times in all of the businesses that I’ve had. Even if you work long and hard at it, you aren’t always successful every day of the week or every season. But it’s something that you have to decide to commit yourself to, keep your head down and just work hard at it. I sincerely believe that if you go by that, you’ll get through it and things will be a success.”

NHRA: PRO STOCK

Skillman, Ellis lead events after three sessions

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A week ago, Drew Skillman reached the finals of the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Norwalk before falling to Pro Stock points leader Greg Anderson.

On Friday night, the rookie set a new track record at Route 66 Raceway with a 6.528-second pass at 210.97 miles per hour to earn the top provisional time. He maintained that advantage during Saturday’s first sessions in the Lucas Oil Route 66 NHRA Nationals.

During Saturday’s final session of Pro Stock, rains once again halted things. If action was unable to resume, the final qualifying order would be set.

“We realized that the track is really good, and we had a great opportunity to actually get with it and really take a swing at it and luckily, it went down and we made a great, smooth pass,” Skillman said.

“We still have tomorrow to go, but it’s really nice to be number-one at the beginning. It was a good way to get it started.”

There were no changes among the qualifying spots between Friday’s second session and Saturday’s initial runs in Pro Stock.

Chris McGaha, who established a new track record in Friday’s first session of 6.533 in 211.59 miles per hour, kept possession of the second-best qualifying time.

Anderson had the thirdbest time after also getting a 6.533 on Friday evening after setting a new track record for speed (211.83) earlier in the day.

Defending world champion Erica Enders (6.536) was fourth and Jason Line (6.546) ranked fifth through the initial three sessions. The two entered the weekend ranked second and third in the points standings.

Jonathan Gray (6.551), Allen Johnson (6.552) and Shane Gray (6.554) rounded the top half of the qualifying field with one session remaining.

Through three sessions, Chip Ellis continued to maintain his lead in Pro Stock Motorcycle that he picked up in Friday’s opener. He had a 6.856-second run in 195.68 miles per hour.

“We anticipated picking up a couple of hundreds in the next round since the air was a little better and the track was a little better, but that didn’t happen,” Ellis said. “I thought that everybody would improve and it looked like some of them did, but it always happens like that. We were looking for a lot better than what we got.”

Just as in Pro Stock, there were no changes from Friday’s top qualifiers during Saturday’s first session. Defending world champion Andrew Hines, who’s third in points, maintained the second-best qualifying time of 6.882 while Jerry Savoie was just behind at 6.883.

“This track has always been good to us,” Brown said.

“Our focus right now is to grow each race as we approach the Countdown [the final six races of the season, where the top 10 qualify for a shot at the season championship].”

Brown said he grew up with sports of all sorts. He played soccer, baseball, football, ran track and always loved dirt bike racing. He was fast enough afoot to run track in

college and qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 100-meter dash in 1997.

“I was able to parlay the dirt bike racing into Pro Stock Motorcycles,” he said. “I’m a true competitor at heart.

“It was always a dream to get into the Nitro racing, and that became a reality. I got the opportunity to test in Top Fuel and then I got the opportunity to drive. It’s a dream come true, and it’s even better through my association with the U.S. Army. That has taught me never to settle for anything in life.”

Brown broke into professional racing with former Wisconsin and NFL all-pro cornerback Troy Vincent his first team owner.

“Troy married my second cousin and she told him about me,” Brown said. “He wanted to have a Pro Stock Motorcycle team, and that helped me out a lot. He taught me to be a true professional.”

JOLIET – The candidates to move up and challenge Cruz Pedregon for the top qualifying spot in the rain-delayed qualifying session Saturday afternoon for the Lucas Oil Route 66 NHRA Nationals were many.

Tim Wilkerson was in 12th place and not necessarily atop everyone’s list of potential contenders. However, the longtime NHRA dragster from Springfield let everyone know he is as formidable as ever.

Wilkerson zoomed from 12th after Friday’s two qualifying sessions to the second spot behind Pedregon entering the final qualifying round late Saturday night, which also was being rain delayed at Herald-News press time. Pedregon had a 3.966 elapsed time and Wilkerson a 3.982 through three qualifying rounds.

The rest of the qualifiers at that point for Sunday’s eliminations, in order, were Chad

premier places we race. We’d love to win here.”

Wilkerson ran his first Funny Car race in 1996. His best season points finish was second in 2008, and he followed that with a fourth in 2009. He was ninth last season and came to town eighth this season.

The top 10 will qualify for the Countdown (the final six races, which will determine the season champion).

“We’re eighth and everyone sixth through 10th is within two rounds of each other,” Wilkerson said. “We win together and lose together. What we really need is for people behind us to lose for us.

“Obviously, getting in the top 10 is the goal. But we have to remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint.”

Regardless of how this race and season plays out, Wilkerson, 54, shows no signs of slowing down.

“This is a lot better than working, than selling tires and batteries,” he said.

Panayotovich gets start in Slammers’ win

By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Playing at home in any sporting match-up is a big advantage.

On Saturday evening, the Joliet Slammers’ starting pitcher had more experience playing at Silver Cross Field than anyone in the stadium.

Adam Panayotovich, the recent University of Saint Francis graduate and NAIA firstteam All-American, got his first professional start on the mound that was his home for four years with the Saints. He was signed July 8 by the Slammers after not getting drafted in the recent MLB Draft.

Panayotovich was working on the Slammers’ ground crew before being picked up and made his initial appearance for the Slammers on Wednes-

day. He pitched two innings of relief, gave up a home run to the first batter he faced, then retired the next six hitters.

The Slammers were coming off a 8-5 loss Friday to the Southern Illinois Miners. It was Joliet’s third loss in a row after winning three in a row. In fact, since June 23 the Slammers have been a team of streaks. They won six consecutive games starting June 23, then lost four in a row before the last two streaks.

With the score tied at 4, the Slammers (22-28) responded with three sixth-inning runs to get the 7-4 victory. Nate Roberts crushed a two-run homer and Phil Bates added an RBI single in the inning. David Kubiak picked up his fifth victory in relief. Frontier League All-star Navery Moore closed out the game.

The Miners (31-20) tied the score at 4 in the top of the sixth on three hits, a walk and an error. The error with two outs and tied the game. Kubiak relieved Panayotovich with one out in the inning.

Panayotovich pitched 51/3 innings, giving up five hits, four runs (two earned), struck out three and walked one.

“That was a surreal feeling,” Panayotovich said. “I’m so familiar with Silver Cross, but the funny thing is, everything is opposite. For the Saints, we did everything on the third base side and now my dugout is on first base. In all my years at Saint Francis, I never threw off the bullpen mound on the firstbase side. I’m excited to be back pitching again.”

Southern Illinois scored an unearned run in the second.

The Slammers answered the

run in the bottom of the second to tie the score at 1. Designated hitter Hunter Ridge roped a double to deep left field. John Cannon singled with one out to put runners at the corners.

Max Casper laid down a bunt, but Ridge was thrown out at home on a close play. Charlie White then got the RBI single that scored Cannon.

Joliet took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on a home run to the right field beach by Casey Fletcher.

After a walk to Roberts to lead off the bottom of the fifth, the Miners pulled starting pitcher Jon Klein.

Left-hander Brandon Cowan gave up a single to Alfredo Rodriguez and walked Mike Garza to load the bases. With one out, Ridge induced an RBI walk and the Slammers led 3-1. Spencer Medick replaced

Cowan on the mound for the Miners. Fletcher grounded to deep short to force Ridge with Rodriguez scoring the Slammers’ second run of the inning to make it 4-1.

In Friday’s loss, the Slammers jumped to a 4-1 lead, scoring four in the third off the reigning Frontier League Pitcher of the Week Adam Lopez. It was the first time this year Lopez had given up more than two runs in any inning.

The Miners responded with five runs in the top of the fourth to lead 6-5 and added two insurance runs in the top of the ninth. Lopez went to 7-0. The Slammers’ Andrew Lange (4-5) took the loss.

The Slammers and Miners play the finale of the threegame series at 5:05 p.m. Sunday before the Frontier League AllStar break.

JOLIET – Trent Wallace holds a two-shot lead in the championship flight after carding a 4-under-par 67 Saturday at Inwood in the first round of the Joliet Park District Golf Tournament.

The final round of the championship flight tees off between 9:45 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Sunday at Wedgewood, a place where Wallace should feel very comfortable.

The 18-year-old, who will attend Illinois State University on a golf scholarship in the fall, finished second in the Joliet Amateur on the course in June, losing by one shot to Tee K. Kelley.

Wallace, a graduate of Joliet West, holds a two-shot lead over Lane Barbier, who shot 69, and a three-shot lead over Steve Tubman, who shot 70.

Defending champion Brian Komp is four shots back after shooting an even par-71. Jason Chobar also shot 71.

“I had a really good back nine,” Wallace said. “I made five birdies on the back [11, 12, 13, 15 and 18]. I was hitting good shots and getting birdie looks. I chipped in from 10 yards out on 15 for one. The key to success here is keeping the ball in play. If you hit the fairways, you have wedges into the green.”

Wallace, who as an 8- and 9-year-old used to play against 13-year-olds in the Junior Flight, is looking forward to playing the final round at Wedgewood.

“You have to drive the ball

well there,” he said. “It’s a little longer, but you still have to keep the ball in play. If I do that, I can shoot a good number.”

Barbier, an Ottawa native who plays on the University of Saint Francis golf team and will be a junior in the fall, played a solid front nine, got into some trouble on the back, but held it together to keep himself in contention for the title.

“I made three birdies on the front [5, 8 and 9] and was playing pretty good,” he said. “I made a couple of mistakes [on the back nine] after putting my ball in good positions, but all in all, I played pretty well.

“We have a lot of good competition in this tournament, and it’s going to be tough. If I play as well as I played today and work on a couple of things I need to work on, I think a score under par should win it.”

Tubman is a Plainfield resident and junior high school teacher in Oswego. He also is an assistant coach with the girls’ varsity golf team at Oswego High School. He shot 37 on the front nine before putting together a 33 on the back, including consecutive birdies on 15, 16 and 17.

“I hit the ball extremely well today,” Tubman said. “I birdied four holes on the back, including three in a row. It was probably the best ball-striking round of my career.”

Brian Legan, who has been the general manager of Inwood for 10 years and who shot 74 in the tournament, likes Wallace’s chances Sunday.

Williams wins her 21st major, achieves a ‘Serena Slam’ again

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press LONDON – Serena Williams let herself briefly bask in the joy of a sixth Wimbledon championship, 21st Grand Slam singles trophy overall and fourth consecutive major title Saturday, even balancing the winner’s silver dish atop her head – Look, Ma, no hands! – as she sauntered off Centre Court.

“I was peaceful, feeling really good,” Williams said.

“Maybe a little after that, I started thinking about New York.”

Onto the next one. When the U.S. Open begins at Flushing Meadows in August, Williams will pursue pretty much the only accolade to elude her so far: a calendar-year Grand Slam, something no one has accomplished in tennis in more than a quarter-century.

She will arrive there having won her past 28 matches at major tournaments, the latest coming at the All England Club on Saturday, when the No. 1-seeded Williams put aside an early deficit and a late lull, closing out a 6-4, 6-4 victory over No. 20 Garbine Muguruza of Spain.

It’s Williams’ second selfstyled “Serena Slam” of four majors in a row; she also did it in 2002-03.

“I’ve been trying to win four in a row for 12 years, and it hasn’t happened. I’ve had a couple injuries. You know, it’s been an up-and-down process,” Williams said. “I honestly can’t say that last

Serena Williams celebrates winning the singles match Saturday against Garbine Muguruza after the women’s singles final at Wimbledon in London. Williams won, 6-4, 6-4. year or two years ago or even five years ago I would have thought that I would have won four in a row.”

At 33, she is the oldest woman to win a Grand Slam tournament in the Open era of professional tennis, and it comes 16 years after her first, at the 1999 U.S. Open.

Only Maureen Connolly in 1953, Margaret Court in 1970, and Steffi Graf in 1988 have won all four majors in a single season. And only Court (24) and Graf (an Open-era record 22) own more Grand Slam singles titles than Williams.

Her collection includes a half-dozen trophies each from Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and Australian Open, and three from the French Open.

“I just never dreamt I would be out here still,” Williams said, “let alone winning.”

Hasn’t come easily. Far from it. At the French Open, fighting an illness, she gutted

out five three-setters on the way to the title last month.

At Wimbledon, she was two points from defeat twice against Britain’s Heather Watson in the third round, then eliminated a trio of women who are former No. 1s and own multiple major titles: her older sister Venus, Victoria Azarenka, and Maria Sharapova.

“She refuses defeat. She refuses to lose,” said Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, who has helped her win eight of the past 13 Grand Slam tournaments. “When she feels the taste of losing, she finds so much strength, and then she can raise her level.”

Maybe the most telling statistic about Williams’ ability to turn it up a notch when the spotlight is brightest is this: Her record in major semifinals and finals is 47-7.

Saturday’s victory made her 21-4 in Slam title matches; it was the 21-year-old Muguruza’s first major final.

Sale outpitches Lester

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Chris Sale dominated into the eighth inning while outpitching Jon Lester, and the White Sox beat the Cubs, 5-1, Saturday for their ninth win in 11 games.

Sale (8-4) showed why he was picked to his fourth consecutive All-Star Game, helping the Sox move into position to sweep the weekend series with their crosstown rivals. Lester’s winless streak reached 10 starts.

The South Siders took a 2-0 lead in the first on an RBI triple by rookie Tyler Saladino for his first major league hit and a run-scoring single by Jose Abreu.

They broke open the game with three more in the seventh against Lester (4-8), making the most of third baseman Kris Bryant’s errant throw on Avisail Garcia’s grounder.

The rookie’s 11th error put runners on second and third with no outs.

Alexei Ramirez then singled in a run and Tyler Flowers had a two-run double for a 5-0 lead, more than enough support for Sale.

The lanky left-hander gave up one run and six hits He departed after Anthony Rizzo led off the eighth with a single.

Tight pants, chains, big hair ... and museums Former New Lenox resident drums for band with a presence in the Smithsonian

If you go n WHAT: Nova Rex n WHEN: 8 p.m. Thursday n WHERE: Bada Brew, 802-804

Theodore St., Crest Hill n VISIT: www.facebook.com/ BadaBrew and www.facebook.com/ NovaRexRocks n CALL: 815-726-3401

By DAWN AULET Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – Former New Lenox resident Eddie Cruise is grateful he made good choices in his younger years.

“I took care of myself, health-wise,” said Cruise, of Florida. “I never really drank a lot and stayed away from the heavier partying. I am still maintaining my youthful look.”

Cruise graduated from Lincoln-Way High School in 1977, but his desire for looking good is about more than just ego.

It’s about rock and roll.

Cruise is the drummer of Nova Rex, which is celebrating its 30th year of rocking out to ’80s hair band metal.

And next week, Cruise will be drumming twice in the Joliet area.

Now, they are touring again. They played Saturday at The Tree of Joliet (formerly Mojoes) and are scheduled to play at Bada Brew in Crest Hill on Thursday Cruise said many of his old friends will be coming out to Bada Brew for the show and that playing rock and roll in his 50s is more fun than when he was younger and concerts got a little crazy.

“Nowadays it’s more about the music,” Cruise said.

The Nova Rex history

Cruise joined Nova Rex a couple years ago when Ken Wilkerson, founding member and bass player, called. Before Cruise joined the band, Wilkerson created a documentary: “Nova Rex: Ain’t Easy Being Cheesy.”

Soon afterward, Wilkerson was contacted by the Smithsonian.

“They were looking for ’80s rock memorabilia to put in their display,” Cruise said.

“He wound up giving them

Wilkerson, also of Florida, said it was an interesting adventure to get into the Smithsonian, starting with the formation of Nova Rex in 1985 with original members Wilkerson and guitarist JP Cervoni.

Nova Rex had a regular touring career in the 1980s and 1990s. They played in Florida and other states, and then Indiana for a number of years when the grunge movement was shutting down most big-hair ’80s bands.

“We kept the flag flying,” Wilkerson said. “We didn’t give up.”

Around 2000, Cerboni

moved to California and Wilkerson – originally from Indiana – moved to Florida. It appeared Nova Rex was done.

Years later, Wilkerson shot “Nova Rex: It Ain’t Easy Being Cheesy,” which contained footage from their touring days. They shot the rest in one weekend. The documentary was released in 2011.

But that wasn’t the end of it. In 2012, the Documentary channel picked it up. In 2014, Netflix started streaming it. A new interest in Nova Rex was born despite the fact the band didn’t take itself too seriously in the documentary.

“We make fun of ourselves, the hair, the make-up and stuff,” Wilkerson said, “which

is funny because we still do it now.”

Enter Cruise

Part of this new touring era is Cruise, who grew up in New Lenox and began playing drums when he was in grade school.

“When I was in the fourth grade, they gave us this aptitude test,” Cruise said. “They handed me like a bugle or something. I was like, ‘I want to play the drums.’ They were like, ‘Nah, you play this.’ ” However, Cruise had an older brother who also played music. The brother had started with guitar – which he quit.

Eventually a drum set wound up in the Cruise household.

“I kinda knew that’s what I wanted to do,” Cruise said.

“Since then, I have been addicted to playing music.”

Cruise toured with the band On the Rocks in the 1990s. He really likes the semblance of time travel that happens when he plays as the drummer of Nova Rex. “When you come see our show, it’s just like popping back into the ’80s,” Cruise said. “I am blown away at how well it goes over.”

The band members also don the complete ’80s big-hair band uniform, but not the originals items. Those are on display.

After Wilkerson finished his documentary, he sent copies to museums. He was also eager to share parts of their uniform – chaps, leather pants, chains – so Wilkerson wasn’t surprised when the local Indiana museum – The Johnson County Museum of History – wanted items.

But wait. There’s more.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame catalogued the documentary, Wilkerson said.

Then the Hard Rock Cafe corporate office in Florida, took some items, he added. But the last one – the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History – well, that was a real surprise.

It’s been nearly a year since Nova Rex started playing again. Four weeks ago, the band released a new single. As a drummer, Cruise said when he plays, he gives it all he’s got.

“I keep playing like it’s the last day of my life,” Cruise said. “I play like hell because I don’t want anyone to say I sucked on the last day of my life.”

Remarks will be made by Mayor Jim Vehrs and the dedication will be by Rev. Dale

Tolly. Patriotic songs will be played by the “Island City Brass Quintet” and singing lead by the Sesquicentennial Choir.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

With crazy shape, try to declare

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Henny Youngman said, “How to drive a guy crazy: send him a telegram and on the top put ‘page 2.’”

When I get deals from readers, typically they feature crazy distribution and, as a consequence, rarely make a good column. This one, which occurred at Bridge Base Online (www. bridgebase.com), appealed to me for some reason. What do you think of the auction?

Over West’s minimum one-spade opening bid, North used the Unusual No-trump to show at least 5-5 in the minors. Even though he held only nine high-card points, if he could hit a fit with his partner, his hand would prove very useful.

East understandably jumped to four hearts; few points but lots of tricks as long as partner had some fit -- that proviso again.

South happily competed to five diamonds, wondering if he was missing a slam.

West raised to five hearts, which would have made, East losing only one spade and one club. But South, after some anguished moments of contemplation, went on to six diamonds.

West, with two possible tricks and a partner who had jumped to game, thought he was safe in doubling.

Here East should have removed to six hearts (a safety-play in the auction), but his club ace looked like an extra defensive trick.

Against six diamonds doubled, West led the heart ace. South ruffed and had no trouble playing a diamond to dummy’s queen. He then cashed the diamond ace and called for a low club.

East saved an overtrick by winning with his ace, but North-South still scored plus 1,090.

Dear Dr. K: I started tak-

into the uterus. It causes changes in the fallopian tubes, which carry the egg from the ovaries to the uterus. And it makes it hard for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus.

The amount of estrogen and progestogen in your birth control pills affects the likelihood of side effects. It also affects which side effects you are likely to experience. If you are having trouble with a product, here are some hints: You are probably getting too much estrogen if you have: • Nausea • Bloating • High blood pressure • Headache • Breast fullness or tenderness • Swelling of the ankles You are probably not getting enough estrogen if you have: • Early or mid-cycle bleeding • Spotting You are probably getting too much progestogen if you have: • Increased appetite or weight gain • Tiredness • Acne • Hair loss • Depression • Vaginal yeast infections You are probably not getting enough progestogen if you have: • Late breakthrough bleeding • No period at all The secret is to get the right hormonal balance • just enough to prevent pregnancy, but not enough to cause side effects. If one pill doesn’t work well for you, you and your doctor have many options from which to choose.

ing combined birth control pills a few months ago.

Ever since then, I sometimes feel nauseous and get severe headaches.

Should I switch to a different pill?

Dear Reader: Nausea and headaches are common side effects of birth control pills, but they usually can be eliminated by adjusting the pills.

Combined birth control pills contain the hormones estrogen and progestogen.

When taken correctly, they are 98 percent to 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. But these hormones can cause side effects.

Birth control pills work in several different ways. The estrogen in birth control pills prevents ovulation: the release of a mature egg from a woman’s ovary. Without the release of the egg, pregnancy can’t happen. Progestogen has other effects to prevent pregnancy that we will explore below.

The normal menstrual cycle is 28 days, and ovulation occurs at about day 14. Oral contraceptives packages usually contain 21 days of active tablets and seven days of inactive pills.

This maintains a 28-day cycle.

Here’s how the estrogen works to block ovulation: Normally, the body’s natural estrogen levels rise from day one through about day 12, and then start falling.

The falling estrogen signals the brain to produce luteinizing hormone (LH).

This hormone travels in the blood from the brain to the ovaries, and encourages the ovaries to release an egg.

Birth control pills contain estrogen through about day 21. Thus, estrogen levels don’t fall around day 12, the brain does not produce LH, and an egg is not released.

The progestogen in birth control pills works to prevent pregnancy in several ways. It thickens cervical secretions, making it difficult for sperm to get

Dear Deborah : Before

you go paperless, make a list of all of your accounts and usernames and passwords. There is software that allows people to upload their account information into so-called “digital vaults” for storage.

Alternatively, the information could be written down and placed with your health care and financial powers of attorney.

To make certain that everything goes smoothly should you become incapacitated, or in the event of your death, give a list of your current digital information to someone you trust, let people know who has that information, and

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips leave instructions on how you want things handled.

Dear Abby : Last spring, my husband and I found out we’re pregnant with our first child. We were thrilled, of course, but out of caution we decided not to tell anyone outside our immediate families for a few weeks.

I am a teacher at a large school and I decided to confide in my teaching assistant so she would understand if I seemed tired or I wasn’t feeling well.

She was excited. Within five minutes of my telling her, she had literally shouted the news to several other staff members.

I asked her to please stop and, in particular, not to tell the students.

The next day there was a large banner hanging over my classroom door that read: BUN IN THE OVEN! I was mortified and furious.

She thinks miscarriages won’t happen if you think positive and that I’m just being negative. She is otherwise an excellent assistant. How do I deal with her refusal to remain quiet? – Assisted by a

Blabbermouth Dear Assisted : Now that

you know you cannot share anything in confidence with your T.A., make a mental note not to make that mistake again.

There’s a saying, “Once two people know a secret, it is no longer a secret.”

All she had to do was tell one other person and the cat was out of the bag.

Because she’s an excellent teaching assistant, “deal” with her by telling her only what you would want broadcast over the public address system.

Pearls Before Swine

Dear Abby : My problem concerns my children and others who may have to deal with my finances or estate should I become ill or die.

I constantly get requests from credit card companies and other businesses, like utilities, urging me to “go paperless.”

“Save a tree ... save a forest!” While I’m sympathetic, I worry that if I were to get sick and no paper bills arrive in my mailbox, my children wouldn’t know they need to be paid. (They have my durable power of attorney.)

If everything arrives online, they’ll have no access to that information.

Bills and late fees will accumulate, and no one will be the wiser.

This is why I resist.

I pay many of my bills online, but I also receive paper documents. I know many companies and credit card issuers are unsympathetic about reducing or eliminating late fees, regardless of the situation.

I don’t trust them to waive these fees – even if I’m desperately ill or dead. I don’t know how to “go paperless” and keep my children informed at the same time.

Abby, your column could create a national dialogue on this problem. Thank you. – Deborah in St.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t make empty promises. You may be flattered if someone thinks you can do it all, but be realistic about what you can offer. Taking on too much will result in frustration.

Your haste will be for naught if you have to take time to fix things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Stubbornness will be your downfall. If you don’t feel like compromising, you should pursue your own projects. Disputes are inevitable if you want everything done your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – A windfall will come your way via a gift, settlement, winning or rebate.

Don’t be too quick to spend. Saving money will put your mind at ease more than purchasing something you don’t need.
