Celebrating the idea of hope VIEWS Kate Schott With the Fourth of July just passed, we’ve all likely heard some familiar words and important phrases thrown around to describe what the holiday means.

Life and liberty. Self-determination and independence. Esteemed, patriotic and majestic. The land of opportunity and possibilities, where freedom reigns and we overcome adversity.

All are great words, and aptly describe what the day is about – the celebration of the birth of the United States of America, a country founded on the principles that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were a birthright for all citizens.

I know not all people were viewed that way in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed. The 230-plus years since then-seen numerous instances when those principles were challenged. And it seems at times we are in an era where decisiveness is highlighted and lauded, instead of focusing on and celebrating those core beliefs we share.

Still, despite its disappointments and faults, to me America remains a place of hope. It’s where anyone can aspire to be anybody. Where dreams are limitless, yet attainable.

Where faith, even through dark times, is rewarded.

Maybe it’s a naive thought. But on this Fourth

of July weekend, I’d rather embrace that notion of hope than anything contrary to it.

I planned to spend a good portion of my Saturday with cousins eating hot dogs, taking a dip in a swimming pool and watching a fireworks show. I’m sure many of you celebrated the nation’s birthday in a similar fashion.

I hope, though, that you’ll join me in at least a few minutes of reflection to think about what the Fourth of July celebrates, and to be thankful to live here.

••• I wrote this last year and it’s too good to not repeat: A great way to demonstrate your love for our country is to register to vote. Turnout in our elections usually is dismal; local elections are lucky to get double-digit turnout, and those on the national ballot are lucky to get 50 percent of eligible voters to the ballot box.

We’re months away from the next election (looking at you, spring) but for those of you not registered to vote, use the reminder of what our nation stands for as encouragement to do so.

Happy Fourth of July.

And thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Christopher and Ellie Esgar, 3, of Morris stop to buy lemonade from Nolan and Gavin Berger of Coal City, who lost their home during the Coal City tornado.

Brothers find a sweet way to help those affected by tornado

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – On Friday morning Nolan and Gavin Berger, along with family and friends, set up a lemonade stand and bake sale at the city of Morris

parking lot on the corner of Route 47 and Chapin Street.

They raised money to help members of Nolan’s baseball team who lost their home in the June 22 tornado that struck the Coal City area, just like the Bergers did.

They were visited by the Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District, as well as members of the community who dropped of donations in exchange for the baked goods and lemonade. In four hours the boys raised $1,500.

Hearing scheduled for Tuesday in closing of Elwood railroad crossing

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Illinois Department of Transportation officials still are working on an overdue regional traffic impact study in the Walter Strawn Drive railroad crossing case, making it uncertain whether IDOT will have anything to present Tuesday when stakeholders are scheduled to meet in Chicago.

IDOT spokesperson Guy Tridgell said Thursday the work is “still ongoing,” declining to answer questions about an expected completion date or reasons behind the delay.

The study was due last month to the Illinois Commerce Commission, which governs the state’s railways.

“I refer back to our previous statements while this case is going through the Illinois Commerce Commission hearing process,” Tridgell said via email. “We look forward to having our concerns addressed while continuing to work with all impacted parties on solutions that maintain our commitment to safety and preserve economic growth in an important part of the state.”

The ICC ruled in January to shut down the Walter Strawn railroad crossing in Elwood amid safety concerns. While IDOT sided with Elwood and other parties leading up the closure, the state agency reversed its position earlier this year, joining CenterPoint Properties in a request to the ICC to reopen the crossing.

Since that time, IDOT attorneys have said they have “new evidence” showing the negative effects the closure has had on the region. But IDOT on more than one occasion asked to delay the presentation of its impact study. Elwood’s attorney, Paul Streicher, said it’s “very strange” that IDOT had such a sense of urgency before only to repeatedly delay the presentation of evidence.

“It seems to me that if IDOT was sincere at the time, when they expressed such urgency to reopen this crossing, they would have done the work,” Streicher said.

Michael Scotti, the attorney representing CenterPoint Properties in the case, could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday.

Event honors, supports and recognizes military personnel

MORRIS – Six years ago, a Morris annual tradition was started when the first Liberty 5K Run/Walk was held July 3.

The 2015 version held Friday, hosted by the Grundy County Farm Bureau Foundation and the Morris Downtown Development Partnership, brought runners and walkers of all ages, from senior citizens to elementary school students, to the intersection of Liberty and Jefferson streets.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick told the crowd it’s a pleasure to see so many more people coming out to participate each year.

Runners waited in four groups categorized by mile time, from those who average six minutes per mile, up to 10 minutes or more.

As participants waited, the national anthem was performed by the Morris Community High School band, colors were presented by the Morris Color Guard and the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 95 performed a flyover.

Most of the participants wore some sort of red, white and blue clothing, whether it be patriotic skirts or bandanas, or even an American flag to carry during the race.

The course went through downtown Morris, area parks, neighborhoods before returning downtown to the finish line on Liberty Street.

Jacob Wantland, a 2015 graduate of Morris Community High School, wore a red, white and blue bandana with traditional running gear. He was one of the first finishers to cross the line with a time of about 16:10, he said.

“It has a cool theme of being patriotic. The flyover and everything makes it a great

As a cross-country and track and field athlete in high school, Wantland said he’s enjoyed running in the

Liberty 5K for five years as a mid-summer fitness test. He clocked his best time Friday and feels fully recovered after hip surgeries and intensi-

fied training in preparation for the next step of his career at North Central College.

First Midwest Bank President and Grundy County Farm Bureau board member Tom Tesdal said Team RWB Chicago doubled the number of veterans taking part from last year’s total of 25. Team Red, White and Blue’s mission is to help veterans get out in the public and participate in activities and socialize, he said.

In addition to Team RWB, proceeds from the event benefited the Morris Downtown Development Partnership, the Grundy County Farm Bureau Foundation, Morris Lions Club, Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District, and more, Tesdal said.

“It’s the only 5K in the state on July 3,” Tesdal said.

“Our volunteers have been unbelievable.”

Culver’s, Jimmy John’s, Sweet Tooth, Team RWB and Patriots 4 Heroes had tents set up, and everyone was invited to an after-party sponsored by Ebbey George’s Bar & Grill.

Don Phillips, announcer at Coal City High School, emcee’d the event and wore a green T-shirt commemorating the November 2013 tornado that struck Diamond and Coal City. He told the crowd he didn’t think he’d be wearing it again for another tornado that left the community he’s been living in for years unrecognizable, but appreciates the support from Morris.

‘New sense of urgency’ for Will County roads “We’re OK this construction season, but next year is troubling with lawmakers and Rauner engaged in this Mortal Kombat budget battle in Springfield.”

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com With the Illiana Expressway project on life support, Will County officials say they have no choice but to shift their sights elsewhere to accommodate the ever-increasing truck traffic in the region.

Pinpointing problem areas and potential alternative projects might be the easy part.

Securing money to carry out the road improvements is another story – as state funding for Illinois roads and bridges become increasingly crippled because of lackluster revenue streams and too many potholes and cracked roads to count.

The county’s two intermodals in Elwood and Joliet – making up the largest inland port in the U.S. – have been around for years, yet its transportation network largely remains unchanged. That’s despite the thousands of heavy overweight trucks that continues to take a toll on state highways, as well as county and local roads.

So one major question remains: What will it take for state officials to realize that Will County – which many believe to be a major economic engine not only for the region, but the upper Midwest and North America – is in desperate need of some major infrastructure improvements?

The match in the powder barrel might be the federal court’s June 16 decision deeming the federal government’s approval of the Illiana Expressway project invalid.

The proposed highway would have created a new roadway linking Interstate 55 near Wilmington to Interstate 65 in Indiana. The Illinois Department of Transportation also has removed the project from its current multi-year plan.

“I think there’s a new sense of urgency. … The Illiana Expressway isn’t dead, but it’s on some sort of life support,” said John Greuling, president and CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development. “Our position is, ‘OK, right now we can’t count on that road. We can all hope and wish and believe, but this is almost like waiting for Santa to come down the chimney

Mike Sturino presdent/CEO, Illinois Road and Transportation Builders Association

Morning traffic begins to flow off Interstate 55 and through heavy construction recently in Plainfield. With the Illiana Expressway project on life support, Will County officials say they are shifting their sights elsewhere to accommodate the ever-increasing truck traffic in the region. One suggestion is to widen Interstates 55 and 80.

Christmas morning.’”

Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said the IDOT has the option to appeal the federal court decision and modify the invalid environmental impact study. But whether that happens is up to IDOT. Walsh said county officials need to be prepared to help fund major alternative projects – like the widening of Interstates 80 and 55, building a Houbolt Road bridge over the Des Plaines River, and possibly upgrading Wilmington-Peotone Road as an eastwest route for truckers in the absence of the Illiana.

Will County Highway Engineer Bruce Gould said the burden will certainly fall on the local taxpayers now that the Illiana has been nixed.

“Utilizing the existing system will definitely cost us,” Gould said.

Traffic backs up exiting southbound Interstate 55 at Route 30 as construction is underway on an exit ramp.

very short-sighted,” Sturino said.

But state funding for roads and bridges remains a glaring issue, Sturino said, noting how IDOT’s multi-year program calls for about $1.85 billion in spending in Fiscal Year Lacking state funds Mike Sturino, president 2016 – or a 2-percent decline and CEO of Illinois Road and from last year. Meanwhile, Transportation Builders As- state funds make up only $352 sociation, and member of the million of next year’s spendTransportation for Illinois ing, or a decrease of 70 percent Coalition, said Will County is from last year’s total of $1.16 certainly worth investment billion.

Since 2010, the state’s share from the state.

“If we don’t invest in Will of IDOT’s transportation plan County, I think we’re being has dwindled, Sturino said,

forcing federal and local funds to pick up the slack.

“Our current funding system is not really catching up with the increased needs that we have,” Sturino said.

Sturino said he believes Illinois needs to follow suit of other states by raising its gas tax, which hasn’t changed in 20 years, as a short-term fix.

Then, state officials need to seriously consider other revenue sources as a long-term fix – such as a pay-by-the-mile user fee program. Oregon just kickstarted its own pilot program, Sturino said.

Unfortunately, Sturino said, Rauner line-item vetoed $700,000 in funds set aside for a vehicle-miles-driven program study when he recently approved a reappropriation of funds for IDOT to keep the construction season going.

Sturino said IDOT also is heading for some tough times if the $350 million in funds that Rauner swept earlier this year to fill a budget gap isn’t returned soon.

“If that money is not reallocated soon, we’re looking at a 70-percent reduction in state funding for IDOT projects,” Sturino said.

“We’re OK this construction season, but next year is troubling with lawmakers and Rauner engaged in this Mortal Kombat budget battle in Springfield.”

Another concern, he said, is the fact that federal money increasingly accounts for most of the funding in IDOT’s multi-year road plan. Illinois officials are too dependent on Congress, which has failed year after year to come up with a stable, long-term transportation plan, he said.

A lack of state funding for roads is all the more reason why Will County’s RTA funds are so vital, Walsh said.

Several Will County Board members have expressed interest in sweeping some RTA funds each year to help pay for a new county courthouse, but Walsh said that money could ultimately mean the world when county officials apply for federal grant dollars – which, more often than not, require a local match.

“If we’re not going to see the state there to help us out, the responsibility is going to fall on our shoulders,” Walsh said.

Plainfield library expansion options narrowed Public meetings set this month

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Any new addition or reconstruction of the Plainfield Public Library will happen in downtown Plainfield.

In advance of another public meeting scheduled for Thursday to update the community on a possible library expansion, Library officials and architects have limited options to the current site, Library Director Julie Milavec said.

“The process was to eliminate at least one set of options in June,” Milavec said. “The ‘greenfield site’ has been deselected. Even if it wasn’t that particular site, no one wanted to see the library outside of downtown.”

That was the response Milavec and architectural consultant Nagle Hartray received from a task force meeting Thursday and a public input meeting Saturday.

At those meetings, two sets of expansion plans were presented. One kept the expansion in the current library property downtown. The other set focused on moving the location to

Illinois St. a greenfield site at the northeast intersection of Van Dyke Road and the water treatment plant access road.

Three designs will be pre-

sented at the Saturday meeting for the public, and Thursday expansion task force meeting.

One option is a new “L”-shaped building, one is a rectangular building and the third is an extension of the current structure.

Milavec said officials also have started looking at operating costs when evaluating options for expansion, including how many employees will be working the library.

“We have to look at staffing, which is a major operational impact with big budgetary implications because that is a library’s number one cost,” she said.

The library is in desperate need of space, according to em-

ployees, patrons and administrators.

Milavec said the library has not expanded since the current structure was built in 1990 using $1.9 million in bonds through taxpayers, $1.5 million through selling land bequeathed by local families, and a construction grant of $140,000.

The population in the library district has expanded to more than five times the number of people served in 1990.

To fund an expansion, the library board is expected to ask residents for the authority to authorize bonds for the project through a referendum on the November 2016 election ballot.

Veteran’s designation on state identification cards available The HERALD–NEWS SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced Tuesday that as of Wednesday, U.S. military veterans can get an updated driver’s license/ID card with the word “VETERAN” displayed under the signature on the card.

The new law allows veterans

who have received an honorable or general under honorable Conditions discharge to pursue the veteran’s designation on their driver’s license or ID card.

The veteran’s designation will help ensure military veterans living in Illinois receive the services and benefits for which they are entitled, including health care, education and em-

ployment assistance, according to a news release from White’s office.

Veterans must obtain official certification from the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs. After the necessary certification is obtained from

an IDVA office, the veteran may apply for a new, renewal or updated driver’s license or ID card at any Secretary of State Driver Service’s facility.

The designation will be no additional cost for first-time driver’s license applicants and

driver’s license renewals. If veterans choose to add the designation before their renewal date, they may obtain an updated driver’s license for $5 and an updated ID card for $10. Veterans over the age of 65 can obtain an updated state ID card at no cost.

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – If severe weather is in the forecast for any given community domestically or abroad, Team Rubicon monitors the situation just as residents and local authorities do – even though its members likely don’t live where Mother Nature has targeted.

Team Rubicon’s leadership had a close eye on the June 22 storm that sparked the EF3 tornado that struck Coal City, damaging more than 800 structures.

The nonprofit organization is comprised of mostly military veterans and first responders, and uses the skills of its members to rapidly deploy emergency response teams during natural disasters such as tornadoes.

The group arrived June 23 in Braidwood and Coal City, and its reconnaissance team made contact with Illinois and Grundy County EMA. Given a recommendation from the Grundy County Community Organizations Active in Disaster to use the team’s resources, Coal City Village Administrator Matt Fritz said it was of the utmost importance to have Team Rubicon on board.

It was hard for Fritz to imagine what it’d be like

without them, adding that each entity in the relief effort collaboration has specific duties. Without Team Rubicon, the ability of others to complete tasks would be compromised.

“It would stress out the local effort,” Fritz said.

Working toward recovery

Most area residents who weren’t hit by the storm were focused on helping neighbors in initial days following the tornado because it’s such a close-knit community, Fritz said.

But the time for those with little to no property damage to return to their daily lives came sooner than it did for owners of the 106 uninhabitable and 54 completely lost properties.

“To sustain a long-term recovery effort, it was necessary to use Team Rubicon,” Fritz said.

The group’s name comes from The Rubicon, a river in northeastern Italy that divided the Roman Republic from Gaul. When Julius Caesar crossed The Rubicon

at the head of his legions and marched on Rome, it marked a point of no return. The phrase “crossing the Rubicon” has since referenced a group committing itself to a risky course of action.

According to teamrubiconusa.org, on Jan. 17, 2010, despite government and large aid organization’s advice not to proceed, Team Rubicon members crossed the Artibonite River separating the Dominican Republic and Haiti, carrying crucial gear and medical supplies to the people of Port-au-Prince after a devastating earthquake.

Once across, they were irrevocably committed to their task – and adopted the name Team Rubicon.

They have since used that grit and determination in each new task they undertake.

Team Rubicon incident commander William Porter reached the Coal City area June 27, and after meeting with officials, “Operation: Crazy Train” was approved.

Using military grade data software to assess damage, the team assisted local authorities to determine what needed to be done. One of its first tasks was to take down damaged trees with chainsaws.

Team Rubicon spent the last week establishing per-

son-to-person contact with each property owner, providing case-specific information on how to carry out the next steps in their recovery.

Rubicon has been organizing and collaborating on the volunteer effort, Fritz said, and has dispersed garbage removal information. Property owners are under no obligation to use Team Rubicon’s help, but they’re encouraged to, Fritz said.

Porter said he felt Fritz and other village officials wanted Rubicon there from the start. They meet at least twice a day to talk strategy and progress.

The team’s operation is scheduled to end Friday, when it, along with local officials, will reassess. Based on progress made so far, Porter estimates Team Rubicon will be in the area at least another week beyond that.

Using what they have learned

Although it only started in 2010, Team Rubicon is familiar with helping tornado relief efforts in Illinois.

The team learned lessons when it helped the relief effort following the November 2013 tornado in the central Illinois town of Washington, Porter said, and applied them to the April tornado in Fairdale.

Those experiences have car-

ried over to Coal City, which has benefited from several of the same volunteers who helped in Fairdale.

Every team member assisting is from the Midwest, except Porter, who hails from South Carolina and works out of the organization’s headquarters in El Segundo, California.

Team Rubicon had 29 members on the ground Thursday in Coal City. Of those, Porter said at least seven were military veterans and 13 to 14 were first responders from various parts of Illinois.

Describing the work as addictive, Porter, a veteran himself, said Team Rubicon fills the void for its more than 28,000 members, most of whom are military veterans and first responders who miss parts of their former full-time careers.

“When you leave, there’s a void,” Porter said. “Sometimes you don’t even know it’s there.”

Passion for the work and being able to identify with one another is how it’s grown to 28,000-plus members in five years.

“The camaraderie of the team and the gratitude expressed by those you’re helping on their worst of days, is addictive,” Porter said.

“Word spreads, and others want to experience it.”

Depositions up next Going on for Richland lawsuit Case may be scheduled for trial Aug. 5

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Depositions for a 2012 lawsuit involving allegations from a teacher of workplace abuse at Richland School District 88a are scheduled to take place within the next several weeks.

A trial date may be set at the next status hearing, which is scheduled for Aug. 5 at the Will County Courthouse Annex. Involved in the deposition are district Superintendent Michael Early and former teachers Christine Roche and Tina Behnke.

Roche, who worked with special education students in Behnke’s class, is accusing Behnke of calling her “fat” and of using profanity to describe Roche’s appearance while in front of students and other teachers, according to court documents.

Roche’s fourth amended complaint, obtained through Roche’s lawyer, states that Roche reported the incident to Early and another supervisor, and that Roche had to seek treatment with a therapist to treat a high level of emotional stress because of continuing abuse by Behnke.

Other incidents mentioned in the complaint include Behnke asking Roche “if she was pregnant because she looked

heavy around the mid-section,” and that “the ‘real issue’ was [Roche’s] weight,” and overall appearance.

The complaint also states that Early’s investigation into the incidents, while acknowledging the egregious nature of Behnke’s actions, didn’t take proper actions to separate the teachers.

The complaint contains five counts: negligent infliction of emotional distress, willful and wanton conduct, negligent hiring, negligent supervision and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Defense attorney Scott Cruz, representing the district, Early and Behnke, said the depositions should be over before the Aug. 5 status hearing. And the defendants are denying all five counts.

“The next step after the deposition is a motion for summary judgment,” Cruz said, which will ask for dismissal of the complaint. “If that motion is not successful, it will go to trial at a later date.”

According to ExceleRate Illinois, early learning programs can make children achieve basic milestones in their development and become more ready to learn.

Later in life, those children tend to have higher college attendance and graduation rates, as well as healthier living.

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – For a Joliet child care center that supports teen parents to earn the highest grade from a state quality rating and improvement system means “families and children are getting gold level care,” said its director Debrah Clark.

The Joliet Township Infant Child Care Center was given the Gold Circle of Quality from ExceleRate Illinois. The designation means the center meets the highest quality standards in learning environment, teaching quality, administrative standards, staff training and education.

“It’s humbling to be recognized for the good work you do,” Clark said. “I think most people who work with families think they’re doing important work but when you’re given an award for doing important work, it means a lot. It demonstrates we’re there for families.”

Clark said the center applied for the Gold Circle of Quality designation and then demonstrated the standards needed to earn it. That meant ensuring the educational level of its staff was top-notch, as well as making sure compensation for that staff was better as well.

“We’re helping parents and we’re helping kids,” Clark said, “and our school district is amazing in that they support all our efforts.”

it opens,” Bays said.

Kuypers and the city of Joliet had previously announced that the club would reopen June 13. The city put out a news release announcing the reopening after meetings with Kuypers and Chris Triebes, former owner of Mojoes. But the landlord apparently had not signed off on the deal at the time, and The Tree did not open.

“We had several interested

parties in the space,” Bays said.

Triebes closed down Mojoes amid investigations by the liquor commission and allegations that he had been overcrowding the club, which had a capacity for 500 people. Mayor Bob O’Dekirk, also the city’s liquor commissioner, said city staff had been working with Triebes on ways to increase capacity at the club or find new space downtown.

At the time Triebes closed

Mojoes, the club already had lost its liquor license for three dates in June because of one overcrowding incident in April and was scheduled for another hearing on allegations that it was overcrowded on two nights in May. On one of those nights, a fight broke out outside the club and shots were fired but no one was hit.

O’Dekirk said his staff is working on a liquor license for The Tree.

Will Health Dept. issues food tips during outages

JOLIET – The Will County Health Department urges area residents and businesses to be mindful of the potential for food-borne illnesses in case power outages occur.

• Always keep dairy, meat, poultry, fish and eggs cooled to temperatures of 41 degrees F or lower. Products found with temperatures above 41 degrees F after a power outage should be discarded.

• Never taste food to determine its safety. When in doubt, throw food out.

• A freezer that is half full will hold food safely for up to 24 hours. A full freezer will hold food

safely for up to 48 hours.

• If you aren’t sure food is cold enough to save, take its temperature with a food thermometer.

Again, remember that food should be discarded if temperatures above 41 degrees F are present.

• Always keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. Always keep food thermometers on hand.

• Have coolers and ice on hand.

• Frequently wash hands with soap and warm water.

• Some types of bacteria produce toxins that cannot be destroyed by cooking.

JOLIET – Mojoes of Joliet is slated to reopen Tuesday under new management and eventually will be converted to a new club to be called The Tree.

Betsy Kuypers, who had previously planned to reopen the business June 13 in a deal that got delayed, will be taking over the club.

“Right now, I am managing Mojoes until I get my liquor license and building permit, and then I will transition into becoming The Tree,” Kuypers said Friday.

Kuypers said she has focused on saving acts that had previously been scheduled to

play at Mojoes.

“We were able to save seven of the shows,” she said.

Alien Ant Farm, the band that will play Tuesday, had already been scheduled to play at Mojoes, she said.

“I really concentrated on saving the shows for the artists and saving the shows for the people who bought the tickets,” Kuypers said.

The club is in a downtown Joliet building at 22 W. Cass St. owned by Bays Investment Corp.

Jessica Bays, senior vice president at Bays Investment Corp., confirmed that Kuypers will be able to open the club.

OBITUARIES LEE K. BOLERJACK Lee Kent Bolerjack, age 52, of Carthage, North Carolina, peacefully passed away, June 26, 2015, after a brief illness.

He was born and raised in Joliet, and was a graduate of Joliet Township (Central) High School, class of 1981.

Lee was very skilled in luxury import auto repair. He owned his own shop in Pinehurst, North Carolina, that also served as a social gathering place for all.

Lee never turned down a late night to help his friends. He loved riding his motorcycle and traveling.

He loved his kids, his life and his dog; he always seized the opportunity to brag on them. He lived his life a quarter turn at a time; despite any situation he was always sure, “It’ll all work out and it will be okay.”

He was preceded in death by his parents, Thurman and Marguerite (Cantu) Bolerjack.

He is survived by his loving children, Marissa Tegan Bolerjack; and son-in-law, Jason Handy; son, Daniel Bolerjack; one grandson, Louis Han Bolerjack; a sister, Mardolyn (Robert) Vescovi; nephews, Patrick Al Pelaez and Anthony Vescovi; nieces, Sally Vescovi and Kristen Opielinski; numerous cousins; and his beloved dog, Alvin.

A gathering will be held in memory of Lee from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m., Saturday, July 11, 2015, at Broad Street Bar & Grill.

Arrangements by Cape Fear Crematory of Stedman, NC.

Despite budget deadlock, there are ways out for Ill.

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – What Illinois needs is for one of its political leaders to blink.

But as Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and legislative Democrats stand eyeball-to-eyeball in negotiations over a new budget, neither is likely to submit, forcing the state to continue stumbling into the fiscal year that began July 1 without broad authority to spend.

There are some actions that could end government shutdown fears, even if they don’t settle the issues separating the two sides.

Rauner, a conservative businessman, wants to change Illinois’ business and political climate to spur investment and create jobs.

Democrats such as House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton want to ensure government continues to provide social services and other key operations for that same population, and are seeking revenue increases.

Here’s a look at the immediate options:

VETO OVERRIDE

The General Assembly sent Rauner in June a $36 billion budget that had a revenue deficit of as much as $4 billion. But Democrats said they had to do it to protect “vital services.”

Rauner won’t talk spending and new revenue with the Democrats until they adopt aspects of his “turnaround agenda” which would freeze property taxes, reforms workers’ compensation, and implement term limits for state lawmakers, among other things.

Rauner received the budget in 20 separate pieces of

legislation, signing just one to fund public elementary and secondary education and vetoing the rest.

Of course, lawmakers get the last word. They have until July 15 to overturn the vetoes, but there has been little talk of override. That likely has a lot to do with the three-fifths majorities necessary – 71 “yes” votes in the House, 36 in the Senate, which is a tall order.

The 19 vetoed measures were approved in the House with an average of 65 votes in favor, and 32 votes in the House. Finding six House votes and four senators is a tough task in such tense times.

TEMPORARY BUDGET

In 1991, when newly-minted GOP Gov. Jim Edgar came into office facing what was then a mind-boggling $1 billion deficit, Illinois entered the new fiscal year without a spending plan in place. There have been other long, frustrating summers since. But in those cases, such as 2004 and 2007, legislators adopted onemonth, interim spending plans to keep government open while negotiations continued.

Madigan attempted the same thing last week – a $2.3 billion package to pay the bills through July. But with four members of his caucus missing, the House version failed with 67 “yes” votes – falling shy of the 71 needed to take effect immediately.

The same proposal, in separate legislation, won Senate approval, and is scheduled for a House hearing Wednesday.

Rauner has already promised to veto it.

COMPROMISE

One of Rauner’s priorities is a property-tax freeze, including some measures

to put restrictions on prevailing wage and union bargaining at the local level. Cullerton pushed a measure last week that provides the property tax relief in exchange for his desire to again look at revising the formula the state uses to fund schools. It got committee approval but was not called for a floor vote.

Republicans say they’re opposed because it doesn’t include all of the governor’s provisions.

Madigan has repeatedly said that the House has conducted five votes on a property-tax freeze, and all have failed. But only one included the local-spending controls Rauner wants, and on that one, the Democratic sponsor who presented the plan said he didn’t support it. It failed as an amendment to a larger proposal, receiving no votes – not even Republicans.

It’s an example of the strange politics under the Capitol dome. Republicans cried “setup,” saying that Democrats could use their votes – regardless of the direction they went – against them in the next campaign.

STATE EMPLOYEE PAY

The issue of how long state employees get paid could decide the issue. The Democratic attorney general has asked a Cook County judge to clarify whether state law allows only limited pay without a budget, or the full payroll can be distributed. Employees have filed a lawsuit to get the full pay. Rauner says a 2007 case set precedent to allow full payroll disbursement now.

Workers will be paid through July 15. After that, it depends on the outcome of the court case.

The House returns Wednesday and the Senate on July 14.

Those who benefited from the Chicago Board of Education’s decision to keep borrowing were a select group of businesspeople, some with connections to Emanuel, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The report comes as the district borrowed and made $200 million in cuts, including layoffs, to make a $634 million payment to the pension fund last week.

The newspaper cited records it obtained, saying one firm is Quarles & Brady, which was paid $300,000. The firm and its attorneys gave $4,500 to Emanuel’s campaign fund.

Another firm, Mayer Brown, was paid $175,000 for legal work on a $109 million bond sale in 2012.

Its attorneys have contributed nearly $70,000 to Emanuel’s campaign fund. In another case, Thompson Coburn, whose partners include Senate President John Cullerton, was paid $350,000. Cullerton has been one of the mayor’s allies.

Woman known for trying to sneak on planes arrested again

CHICAGO – A woman who has tried repeatedly to sneak aboard airplanes has been arrested again a day after being released from Cook County Jail.

But this time, authorities said 63-year-old Marilyn Hartman had a valid ticket. She boarded

a plane Friday night at Midway International Airport, but authorities said she caused a disturbance and was escorted off. A Chicago police spokesman said Hartman was charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct.

Hartman had been arrested after trying to get past security at O’Hare and Midway airports in April and May. She pleaded guilty to misdemeanor criminal trespassing on state land.

In recent years, she’s tried numerous times to board without a ticket, succeeding at least once.

Peoria to allow food trucks in downtown, other locations

PEORIA – The city of Peoria is ready to welcome food trucks to its downtown and other areas.

The Peoria Journal-Star said the City Council voted this past week to create a process for

food-truck operators to apply for licenses.

Assistant City Manager Chris Setti said about six operators have expressed an interest.

He said once applications are received, it likely will be about two weeks for them to be reviewed and approved.

The council’s plan allows up to three trucks to operate on Hamilton Boulevard, adjacent to the Peoria County Courthouse.

An unlimited number of trucks will be allowed in other parts of the city, although they are banned from residential areas.

There also will be limits on their proximity to existing restaurants, schools and intersections.

3 employees injured when car hits Urbana restaurant

URBANA – Authorities said three restaurant employees

were injured with cooking grease when a car hit a barbecue restaurant in Urbana.

Urbana Fire Division Chief Kyle Hensch said the car hit Lil’ Porgy’s Bar-B-Q before 1 p.m. Friday. He said there also was structural damage but three employees who were cooking lunch were splashed by grease.

The News-Gazette said one employee had major burns on his back, and the other two suffered superficial burns. All three were hospitalized.

Police said the vehicle left the road, went down an embankment and hit the building.

The building didn’t catch fire.

Public health authorities were notified.

Pilot dies in small plane crash in suburban Chicago

BARTLETT – Authorities said

one person is dead after a single-engine plane crashed in a suburban forest preserve in DuPage County.

Only the pilot was aboard the Cessna 172 when it crashed before 4 p.m. Friday near Bartlett.

Authorities planned to resume their investigation Saturday.

The DuPage County Coroner’s Office said the victim had not been identified yet because next of kin had not been notified.

Peter Knudson, a National Transportation Safety Board spokesman, said the pilot reported a rudder control problem to air traffic controllers.

The plane was registered to the Fox Flying Club, which is based at the DuPage Airport in West Chicago.

Graffiti illustrates people holding banners stating “yes” and “no” Saturday in central Athens. Campaigns halted Saturday in Greece on the eve of a closely watched bailout referendum. Voters appeared to be in a dead heat over whether to defy creditors and push for better repayment terms or essentially seek new political leadership to find a compromise.

Analysts: Greek government’s post-referendum future unsure

By MENELAOS HADJICOSTIS The Associated Press ATHENS, Greece – Whether Greeks decide in Sunday’s referendum to accept their lenders’ bailout deal or reject it, the government’s hold on power may be shakier than its brash prime minister has calculated, analysts said.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is banking on fellow Greeks to deliver a resounding “no” in the popular vote he believes will give him strong leverage in his negotiations with creditors to swing a softer bailout deal for a country ravaged by years of harsh austerity, deep recession and crushing poverty.

A win for the No campaign, the reasoning goes, also could furnish Tsipras with an endorsement for his five-month rule and allow his government to consolidate – and extend – its grip on power.

That may not be the case, analysts said, since a “no” vote still could plunge Tsipras’ position into uncertainty if negotiations drag on with lend-

ers who see such an outcome as a Greek snub of the euro.

Without a quick deal, banks could stay closed to keep their reserves from going dry.

“A deteriorating import-dependent economy will provoke a rapid decline in public support for the government, and fresh elections may become inevitable – but this will take time,” said Dimitri Sotiropoulos, political science professor at the University of Athens.

A win for the Yes campaign could cast Tsipras’ public mandate in doubt and force him to broaden his coalition government, political analyst George Sefertzis said.

The new government may have Tsipras’ radical left Syriza party at its core, but the cabinet’s composition could change to include “respected personalities who can be recruited to fill that role.”

Syriza emerged from the political fringes in January as Greek voters sought an alternative to what they saw as a bankrupt political establishment they blame for opening

the door to six years of punishing salary and pension rollbacks, steep job cuts and hefty taxes.

Just a few years ago, the country’s two main political forces, the right-wing New Democracy and the socialist PASOK parties, commanded some 80 percent of the vote between them. Now, with many Greeks seeing them as kowtowing to the lenders’ diktats, their support was dwindled.

Tsipras’ youth, unorthodox style and pledges to fight the good fight for the country’s poorest endeared him to many and persuaded some that he could take on the institutional behemoths that decide the economic fate of entire nations.

But months of talks without real results have eroded the Syriza-led government’s credibility in the eyes of Europe’s power circles.

“This government doesn’t trust the institutions of the EU and the IMF, and those institutions trust the Greek government even less,” Sotiropoulos said.

Americans need to learn economics Dear Mr. Berko: I am 66 and have a doctorate, so supposedly I’m a smart guy, even though a financial planner took my wife and me to the cleaners two years ago. One of my colleagues invested a large amount of U.S. dollars in Iraqi currency, insisting he will collect millions. The teenage grandchildren of our friends get a fair allowance, but they’re always broke. A colleague who opened a new office got poor financial advice and can’t afford his rent.

Last month, I was mortified at the unsuitable investment choices in the rollover IRAs of a couple we know. How do people become financially literate? – JS, Kankakee Dear JS: Back in the 1960s and ’70s, when the children of our contemporaries were celebrating life events – such as birthdays, communions, bar and bat mitzvahs, and school graduations – my wife and I would send them a book called “The Richest Man in Babylon.” We also bought five shares of Hershey stock, between $8 and $10 a share, in their names. Then I’d write neat letters on my firm’s classy stationery, telling the lads and lasses about the public company they own. I also told them that Hershey invites shareholders to attend the annual meeting in Hershey, Pennsylvania. And some of them actually attended with their parents. They said it was a hoot! I also recommended they buy a few more shares, reinvest their dividends each quarter and watch Hershey grow. The parents were thrilled, and some of the kids asked to call my office and

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko talk about investing. Over a dozen years, we bought Hershey for 70 kids, and once in a while, I’ll get a letter or phone call from a now appreciative adult. Most of them are moderately to very successful, and each remembers owning Hershey stock, which increased enormously in value.

A few years ago, I asked the son of an acquaintance how much he paid for his Toyota. He responded, “$209 a month.” I said, “No, no, how much did this car cost you?”

Again, he responded with “$209 a month.” And I’m not sure the father understood my question, either. So I asked, “What was the sticker price on the car?” This time, the kid snarled the answer at me: “$209 a month, man. You wanna see the payment stub?”

The best I could get is that he traded a used car, gave the dealer $4,260 in cash and had payments of $209 a month for 36 months.

Among the biggest failures of most public and private schools is that few understand that among the most important courses they must teach is basic economics. I don’t mean the worthless fluff spouted by Friedman, Keynes, Samuelson, Reich or Galbraith; that’s pure garbage. The economics class I’m referring to is Checkbook Economics 101 for preteens and teenagers. Our failure to do this is causing most of today’s kids to become tomorrow’s adult suckers.

Their financial IQs are below freezing. They don’t know the difference between annual and compounded interest.

And because most think a blue chip is worth $5 at a poker game, they’re certain to get bushwhacked when they seek financial advice.

“There’s a sucker born every minute,” P.T. Barnum declared. And a financial con man is born every hour to make sure no sucker is spared.

Our public school systems teach so many Mickey Mouse courses that I wonder why The Walt Disney Co. hasn’t collected royalties from thousands of school boards.

Our schools must change their curricula to include courses in basic economics so students can understand the importance of managing their earnings in the real world.

Economic courses are fun to teach, but only if the right teachers are given the responsibility and training. Sadly, most teachers are as economically ignorant as their students. And as students become more knowledgeable, the courses can gradually become more sophisticated so that when these students finish their schooling, they’ll have a rudimentary understanding of money, its costs and how to use it. “The Richest Man in Babylon” is still a great primer that’s stuffed with glowing common sense and wisdom.

The Declaration of Independence The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America (Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776)

W

hen in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

– That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it

is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more dis-

posed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. – Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the

necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome

See DECLARATION, page 29

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

• DECLARATION

Continued from page 28 and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion

from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with

wrong, as most Americans would agree today.

Same-sex marriage To the Editor: No court can change God’s truth on marriage between a man and a woman. This marriage covenant is between a man, a woman and God. No minister or priest has the power to compromise on biblical teachings.

However a marriage contract can be between two men or two women, in a civil court, according to civil laws, subject to change.

Another choice is to live together, “playing house,” common-law marriages.

God gave all free choice.

Awarding choice has its conall parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our

sequences. Your lifestyle will determine your final destination.

Same-sex marriages can cut down harassment by planting their own church with their own pastor. Same for clubs, Scouts, etc.

No court has the right to overrule God, who is all-knowing, the creator. In comparison, man has a puny mind.

The Supreme Court decision cannot affect others who have God-given rights, too.

Bless the volunteers To the Editor: The definition, or should I say, description, of a volunteer is an individual or groups of individuals who give of themselves totally unselfishly. This volunteerism has never been more fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here.

We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections

These volunteers that included Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, faith community leaders, medical professionals, educators/coaches, industry/business representatives and various EMS agencies should all be warmly thanked for their extraordinary efforts. Yes it is true that difficult situations do consistently bring out the great and positive qualities in everyone.

God bless all those facing adversity in Coal City and the dedicated volunteers who are doing their very best to ease this adversity.

We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

THE HERALD-NEWS ALL-AREA BASEBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Grosse scores one for the little guy Joliet West standout receives top honor on H-N All-Area Team

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Cody Grosse played the baseball season at 130 pounds.

Imagine if he had not lost those 15 pounds of muscle.

The Joliet West shortstop had off-season labrum surgery in September, and the throwing process was painful enough that he began the season as the Tigers’ designated hitter.

Not very far into the spring, he reached the point where he was able to play second base. Near the end of the season, he finally was able to handle his natural position at shortstop, although throws from deep in the hole were difficult.

His inability to lift weights after the labrum surgery caused the 5-foot-7 Grosse to lose the muscle that would have been helpful on some of the longer drives he hit.

“Some balls that he hit really well would have been out of the park had he been completely healthy,” West coach John Karczewski said.

“After the surgery, that impacted my lifting,” Grosse said. “It hugely hurt it. I lost 15 pounds of muscle. I’m getting a lot bigger now. I don’t think the surgery really affected my hitting, but I would like to have seen what I could have done if I hadn’t lost those 15 pounds.”

It would have been interesting. As it is, Grosse hit .485 with 12 doubles and four triples. He drove in 10 runs from the lead-off spot for a team that had difficulty getting runners on base consistently at the bottom of the lineup.

Grosse’s thing was getting on base and scoring runs.

His on-base percentage was .557. He scored 40 runs (about 120 in three varsity seasons), struck out six times all season and stole 27 bases.

For all of that, and his remarkable varsity career,

World Series, and a lot of them were little guys. There weren’t many big, heavy hitters. The SEC [considered the epitome of college baseball] has a lot of fast, quick guys.”

If Grosse were a few inches taller, there is little doubt he would be moving on to a big-name Division I program.

Instead, he will play at Chicago State, still Division I but outside the limelight.

Grosse’s former West teammate, Zack Thomas, has completed one year at Chicago State; and his classmate, Griffin McGuire, also will play there.

“I got a good offer from Chicago State,” Grosse said.

STEAL FOR CHICAGO STATE

He is healthy enough now that he is in the weight room on a daily basis. He is playing summer ball with the Downers Grove Long Shots.

Pitcher Danny Ehrsam, who graduated from Joliet Catholic this spring, is a teammate.

“This summer, after your senior year, it’s more laid back,” Grosse said. “I have played in places like Georgia and Arizona and surrounding state here in the Midwest.

But now it’s more preparing to play on the college level. But we are going to qualifying in Michigan to try to get to the Connie Mack World Series in New Mexico.”

Regardless of where Grosse plays, he does not allow his stature to be a negative.

“When I’m out there on the field, I don’t want it in my head that I’m small,” he said. “Bigger colleges told me they would have offered me a scholarship if I was taller. I didn’t like that. Look at the smaller guys in the major leagues.

They’re as good as the bigger guys.”

“I’ll say this – Chicago State is getting a steal,” Karczewski said. “Cody just plays baseball.

“When we played Providence early this season, Smitty [Mark Smith, coach of the Celtics’ back-to-back state championship teams] told me afterward that Cody was the best player on the field.”

That’s the way Grosse strikes a majority of observers. That’s why he is the H-N Player of the Year.

CHANNAHON 12U FIREWORKS TOURNAMENT

Minooka rolls to Channahon tourney win

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Baseball long has been known as America’s pastime.

So, on the holiday that celebrates the nation’s independence, what’s more American than a bunch of young American boys playing baseball?

That’s what was going on Friday in Channahon, as Minooka took on Braidwood in the Channahon 12U Fireworks Tournament. Other teams in the five-team event are Channahon, Somonauk and Whiteford. This particular tournament is for in-house all-star teams only. House AllStar Teams or part-time travel teams – which have played fewer than 20 games together – are eligible. No full-time travel teams are eligible.

That suits Minooka Mudslingers head coach Joel Harris just fine.

“I put this team together to give some of the late bloomers and kids that can’t afford full-time travel ball a chance to play,” Harris said. “We did play a few games before this tournament, and they were all against full-time travel teams.

We were competitive with the full-time travel teams.”

The Mudslingers were more than competitive against Braidwood, rolling to a five-inning, 10-run-rule victory. The highlight for Minooka was a combined no-hitter by pitchers Ian Ban and Jake Formenti. Ban threw the first three innings and retired all nine batters he faced. Formenti worked a perfect fourth before walking two batters in the fifth.

“I’ve never been part of a combined no-hitter before,” the left-handed Ban said. “It feels pretty good. My fastball was working the best today.

That, and hitting the corners.”

It was a little extra special for Formenti, who previously played for Braidwood before moving to Minooka.

“It feels awesome,” he said.

“My fastball and cutter both worked today, and I had good mechanics.”

The tournament began Monday, with Channahon recording a 5-3 win over Whit-

Minooka’s Ian Ban threw three perfect innings as he and teammate Jake Formenti combined for a no-hitter Friday against Braidwood in the Channahon 12U Fireworks Tournament.

eford. On Tuesday, Minooka beat Somonauk, 7-6, and Channahon upended Braidwood, 8-1. There were five games Saturday. The top four teams in the round-robin advance to the semifinals, which take

place Sunday. The semifinal losers will play in the consolation game at 2 p.m., with the winners playing for the championship at 4:30 p.m.

It’s a full slate of games all weekend, because there also

is an 8U and 10U tournament going on at separate fields behind Pioneer Path School.

Teams in the 8U tournament are Channahon Black, Channahon Red, Minooka, Whiteford, St. Joe’s Red, St. Joe’s

Blue, Plainfield and Braidwood. Those competing in the 10U tournament are Channahon, Whiteford, St Joe’s Red, Troy and Coal City.

Along with the dominant pitching, the Mudslingers got the job done at the plate as well. They got on the board in the bottom of the first with a two-run single by Jonathon Forneris.

Also in the inning, Minooka got a sacrifice fly by Formenti and an RBI single

by Julian Reyes. In the second inning, Forneris doubled with the bases loaded, scoring three more runs.

Other run-scoring hits came off the bats of Connor Gregorec, Bryce Barnes, Matt Nolan, Formenti and Bryce Harris.

“We played well today,” Joel Harris said. “We got great pitching, and we have plenty of other pitchers that haven’t thrown yet.”

SLAMMERS 11-1, WILD THINGS 4-2

WASHINGTON, Penn. – After dropping a three-game home series to Traverse City, the Joliet Slammers hoped to bounce back against Washington in a weekend road trip.

And after struggling offensively during their most-recent series, the Slammers bats came alive in Saturday’s opener of a doubleheader against the Wild Things.

In the completion of a game that was suspended on Friday

His five hits are the most by any player this season and are one shy of the league record.

The top five hitters in Joliet’s lineup had multiple hits.

Phil Bates went 2 for 3 and scored four runs, while Charlie White and Nate Roberts both were 2 for 4 and scored two runs, and Alfredo Rodriguez went 2 for 5 with two RBIs. David Kubiak (4-3) turned in a strong relief performance, only allowing one hit

WHITE SOX 3, ORIOLES 2

Garcia robs Davis in ninth, White Sox hold off Orioles

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press CHICAGO – The lastplace White Sox got the big hit. Then they got the big catch. Now they’ve won four straight.

Avisail Garcia robbed Chris Davis of a tying home run with a leaping catch in the ninth inning Saturday, and the Sox held off the Baltimore Orioles, 3-2.

Garcia slapped his glove after making the sensational grab.

“I was playing no doubles because they have a power hitter,” Garcia said. “I was playing close to the fence, so I had a chance to get it. So I got it.”

J.B. Shuck put the Sox in front with a pinch-hit double in the eighth. Gordon Beckham scored the go-ahead run after he walked and advanced on a sacrifice bunt against Bud Norris (2-8), just demoted to the bullpen. Shuck doubled to right field off Darren O’Day. David Robertson earned his 18th save in 22 opportunities – with a huge assist from Garcia. The right fielder jumped and reached behind him over the wall to take a home run away from Davis

with one out in the ninth.

“Anytime he makes contact, you’re worried it’s leaving the field,” Robertson said.

“I was just overjoyed to see him catch that ball and come back with it. It was awesome.”

The Orioles also thought Davis’ drive had a good chance to leave the park.

“Right off the bat, you see the ball go up, and we thought it was gone,” Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado said. “But he went out there and made a hell of a play.”

Machado hit a two-run homer to tie it at 2 in the eighth.

He connected against Zach Putnam (2-3), who replaced Jeff Samardzija after he walked the previous batter.

The home run ended Baltimore’s scoreless streak at 262⁄3 innings.

Samardzija struck out nine and allowed a run and three hits in 72⁄3 innings. Ryan Flaherty singled with two outs in the sixth for the Orioles’ first hit. He hit the ball up the middle on Samardzija’s first pitch.

“My mechanics have come around, and I feel comfortable with what I’m doing out there, which means we can execute the pitches instead of having to worry about what

you’re doing above the rubber,” Samardzija said.

Jose Abreu scored two runs and had a double and triple for the Sox, who have won eight of 12 after losing eight straight. The Orioles have lost five of six.

Garcia’s RBI single put the Sox ahead in the first inning.

Abreu led off the fifth with a triple and scored on Cabrera’s sacrifice fly.

Machado drew a leadoff walk in the first for the Orioles’ lone baserunner through the first five innings.

“I thought I had given up one (hit) to Machado there in the first. But it was a walk, apparently,” Samardzija said. “But, hey, something was going on when the fans started getting all rowdy for popup outs. I felt good. That’s something you want.”

GOOD TO SEE YOU

Former Sox closer Bobby Jenks, a member of the 2005 World Series champions, threw out the ceremonial first pitch on a day when the team gave away his bobblehead to fans. Jenks confirmed he has retired after battling back issues and last pitching in the majors in 2011. “I gave it a run,” he said. “It’s just too much pain off the mound.”

while striking out six in five innings to collect the win.

John Cannon also was effective in his first mound appearance, striking out three while allowing one hit in the final inning.

In the opening inning of the second contest, Rodriguez was hit by a pitch with two outs, and Garza tripled to give the Slammers the early 1-0 lead.

But Washington’s Matt Sergey settled down after that and struck out six through

five innings before Steve Messner and Matt Purnell each tossed 1-2-3 innings.

The Wild Things scored a run in the fourth to tie it and added a run in the sixth to move in front. Maxx Garrett (2 for 3) hit a homer in the sixth to give Washington the lead.

Adam Giacalone allowed five hits and one earned run while striking out three in 31⁄3 innings. Kevin McNorton (3-2) took the loss, allowing just the home run in 22⁄3 innings.

CUBS 7, MARLINS 2

Bryant’s grand slam, 2 homers spark Cubs’ win

By DAVE ROYSE The Associated Press CHICAGO – Kris Bryant hit two early home runs, including a grand slam, to lead the Cubs over the Miami Marlins, 7-2, Saturday night.

The multihomer game was the second for Bryant, who hit a two-run drive in the first inning and chased Marlins starter Jarred Cosart (1-4) with a grand slam in the second that made it 7-0.

Clayton Richard (1-0) sailed into the seventh inning in his first major league outing since 2013, pitching the Cubs to their fourth victory in five games.

Acquired from Pittsburgh in a trade Friday, he gave up two runs and eight hits with one walk in 61⁄3 innings.

Bryant’s grand slam barely cleared the wall – but his first homer nearly left the park, landing in the top row of the left-field bleachers. He became the first Cubs player to hit two grand slams in his rookie season since Hall of Famer Billy Williams in 1961.

There was a scary moment in the seventh when a hard foul ball by Addison Russell hit Cubs third base coach Gary Jones in the upper body.

Jones stayed down in foul territory and did not appear to move for a few minutes, but eventually got up and re-

mained in the game.

Cosart, who gave up seven runs on four hits and three walks in 12⁄3 innings, was making his first start after a month off to recover from vertigo.

Once he left in the second, however, the Cubs were shut down. Three relievers combined to hold the Dubs hitless after Cosart exited.

Richard, who had been pitching for Triple-A Indianapolis in the Pirates’ organization, rarely got into trouble.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Cubs: Manager Joe Maddon said OF Jorge Soler (left ankle) could be back “very, very soon” from a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa. ...

The Cubs placed C David Ross on the seven-day concussion disabled list. The move is retroactive to Thursday. ... INF Tommy La Stella was transferred to the 60-day disabled list from the 15-day DL. Marlins: 1B Michael Morse (back) was expected to play at least one more rehab game at Class A Jupiter, but is expected back with the Marlins for their upcoming series against the Red Sox, manager Dan Jennings said. “He could play (Saturday), perhaps one more day, and be prepared to meet us in Boston,” Jennings said.

“He played (Friday) and his back was fine.”

• Sunday, July 5, 2015

because of the weather, Joliet banged out 16 hits and rolled to an 11-4 Frontier League victory in the opener.

But it was a completely different story in the nightcap, as the Slammers only managed one hit in the seven-inning game and wound up dropping a 2-1 decision.

Joliet (19-25) scored five times in the third inning to grab a 7-1 lead in the opener.

Mike Garza led the way for the Slammers by going 5 for 6 and driving in five runs.

Will history repeat itself? U.S. women hope not

By ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Abby Wambach remembers the date by heart: July 17, 2011.

That was the day the United States lost to Japan in the Women’s World Cup title match in Germany.

The Americans get a rematch Sunday when the teams meet again in the final, this time in Canada.

The U.S. women are favored, and there figures to be a mostly pro-American crowd making the short trip across the border to Vancouver’s BC Place.

Wambach and the rest of her teammates say they aren’t taking anything for granted.

The United States, ranked No. 2 in the world, is seeking its third World Cup title, but first since 1999.

“We still have to win. We haven’t won anything yet, and

WIMBLEDON

Just like old times: Williams vs. Williams at Wimbledon

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press LONDON – Just like old times.

Used to be that a match involving Miss Williams vs. Miss Williams, as they like to say at the All England Club, was a regular occurrence at the latter stages of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world.

During a span of eight majors from the U.S. Open in 2001 to Wimbledon in 2003, Serena and Venus Williams participated in six all-in-the-family Grand Slam finals. Think about it this way: Before that stretch, the only previous major title match between sisters came when Maud Watson beat her younger sibling, Lillian, in the very first Wimbledon women’s final in 1884.

There would be two more all-Williams Grand Slam finals, both at Wimbledon, in 2008 and 2009. But since then, they have not met in any

round at any Slam. Until now.

No. 1-seeded Serena and No. 16-seeded Venus will reprise their unique rivalry on Monday in the fourth round at Wimbledon.

“We just don’t know what can happen there. We’ve all seen, a million times, them play. And we’ve seen different results, especially at Wimbledon. You just have no clue,” said Venus’ coach, David Witt.

“We’ve seen good matches.

We’ve seen bad matches.”

This will be their 26th showdown on tour (Serena leads 1411), their 13th at a major (Serena leads 7-5), and their sixth at Wimbledon (Serena leads 3-2).

It comes 17 years after their first professional matchup, in the second round of the 1998 Australian Open.

And it comes 15 years after their first encounter at the All England Club, in the 2000 semifinals “I think we’re both more mature. Still as tenacious,” Venus said.

cized at times for a lack of offense, the U.S. has posted five straight shutouts.

“I think we have really good momentum. I think we have confidence as a group.

But we need to raise our game as well,” said midfielder Carli Lloyd, who leads the Americans with three goals. “This is the final, everything’s on the line, there’s no holding back.

There’s no reserving energy.

It’s full throttle.”

Japan, ranked No. 4 in the world, has won each of its six matches during the monthlong tournament, relying on its steady tactical skill. It is trying for its second straight World Cup title.

“It’s the final game, the last one, so there’s no more than that, and we should really cherish this moment that we are going to the final,” Japan coach Norio Sasaki said. “But I would also like to have a game that would contribute to the development of football in

the world.”

THE LAST TIME: Japan’s victory over the United States four years ago was Asia’s first-ever World Cup title.

The Japanese erased a pair of one-goal deficits. Wambach scored in the 104th minute to give the U.S. a 2-1 lead, and Homare Sawa tied it 13 minutes later. Japan then prevailed, 3-1, on penalty kicks.

It was an emotional victory, following the massive earthquake and tsunami that hit the nation in March, killing more than 20,000 people.

LIGHTS-OUT D: Anchored by Hope Solo in goal, the United States’ most consistent asset in the World Cup so far has been its defense.

Solo, who won the Golden Glove award for the 2011 World Cup, has put up five straight shutouts. She has been helped by a solid backline of Meghan Klingenberg, Becky Sauerbrunn, Julie Johnston and Ali Krieger.

TELLING IT LIKE IT IS

By CHRISTINE JOHNSON Shaw Media Correspondent

N

EW LENOX – If Tammy Levey of New Lenox had not agreed to run a booth on a one-time basis to bring awareness to the Wreaths Across America campaign, her grandfather’s secret might have remained buried inside an old trunk.

But because her grandfather – John A. Logan Jr. of Shorewood (deceased) – served in two wars, Levey was happy to help the New Lenox Fire Protection District and the Village of New Lenox honor veterans through the campaign.

To attract passers-by, Levey decided to add a few of her grandfather’s items to the booth where they were seeking donations for the program. The night before the event, Levey retrieved her grandfather’s trunk from the basement of her brother’s house and brought it home.

“I didn’t know what was in it,” Levey said, “but I needed to find out.”

It was locked and no one had a key. So Levey’s husband Joe helped her open it. She sat in the middle of her bedroom floor, sifting through and organizing her grandfather’s belongings, and found herself in the middle of a history lesson.

“Everything was a mess,” Levey said. “He was a saver of little things.”

There were cigar boxes full of items, two small Bibles, countless photographs, books, newspaper clippings, a letter Logan wrote to his parents and a small red-leather book with Japanese money taped inside.

On the cover of the red-leather book, embossed in gold lettering, were the words “My Life in the Service.” It was Logan’s diary of his experiences during World War II. He was 17 when he made his first entry.

Sitting on the floor, surrounded by photos, Levey said she read until 2 a.m.

Former Joliet resident earns science medal

JOLIET – Professor Mary Jean Wirth, former Joliet resident, has won the 2015 Chromatographic Society Jubilee Medal, presented to her on June 21 in Geneva, Switzerland.

The society’s executive committee said it considered many contenders for the award and focused on Wirth’s work for the award because of her development of a separation technique that has revolutionized protein separations. In the course of her research, Wirth is developing silica-based materials for cancer biomarker discovery.

Wirth, a member of the Purdue University Chemistry Department in West Lafayette, Indiana, is the daughter of Robert and Betty Wirth of Wilmington. Her husband, Dennis Evans, retired

chemistry professor, continues his research.

She attended St. Paul the Apostle School, St. Francis Academy, Northern Illinois University (Bachelor of Science) and Purdue University (doctorate).

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Tell partner and hope he benefits

CELEBRITY CIPHER

First of all, I would like to wish all of my American readers a most enjoyable Independence Day. Henry David Thoreau said, “To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, not even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust.”

To be a philosophic bridge player, you need independence of thought – perhaps except when on defense. Then often, but not always, you and your partner must be of the same mind in how to defeat the contract.

In this deal, for example, how should East and West card to defeat four hearts after West leads the diamond ace?

Note South’s advance of two hearts, which showed 9-11 points.

Many players reply to a takeout double by mentioning a suit without a jump, whatever their point-count. They expect partner to be psychic. When you have game-invitational values, jump in a suit. Yes, you would prefer to have a five-card suit, but there are times when you have to hope for the best.

Under the diamond ace, East must play his queen. When you cannot win the trick, because someone has already played a card higher than your best, follow suit with the top of touching honors. So, the queen guarantees the jack as well (unless it is a singleton).

That should point West in the right direction. At trick two, he shifts to his singleton spade. Then, he grabs the first round of trumps and leads a low diamond to put East on play. When East returns a spade, West ruffs it for the setting trick.

Dear Dr. K: I suffer

help take your mind off your pain.

They may help to override established pain signals and reduce the need for medication: • Deep Breathing. Inhale deeply, hold for a few seconds and exhale. To help you focus, you can use a word or phrase to guide you. For example, you may want to breathe in “peaceâ€? and breathe out “tension.â€?

• Relaxation Response.

The stress response pumps up heart rate and puts the body’s systems on high alert. The relaxation response is a natural antidote. Close your eyes and relax all your muscles. Then concentrate on deep breathing.

Continue doing this for 10 to 20 minutes. Afterward, sit quietly for a minute while your thoughts return.

• Meditation With Guided Imagery. Begin deep

breathing, paying attention to each breath. Then listen to calming music or imagine being in a restful environment. • Mindfulness. Pick any activity you enjoy – walking in nature, playing the piano or cooking – and become fully immersed in it. Notice every detail of what you are doing and how your senses and emotions are responding.

• Yoga And Tai Chi.

These exercises incorporate breath control, meditation and movements to stretch and strengthen muscles.

• Positive Thinking.

When we’re ill, we often tend to become fixated on what we aren’t able to do. Retrain your focus on what you can do.

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

from chronic pain. My doctor suggested I look into mind-body therapies. Why? Is it possible to think your way out of pain?

Dear Reader: I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t describe mind-body therapies as â&#x20AC;&#x153;thinking your way outâ&#x20AC;? of any kind of suffering. But mind-body therapies surely can help reduce chronic suffering, including chronic pain.

Pain signals sent up the nerves from your body register in pain centers deep inside your brain.

But signals from those pain centers then are processed by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;thinking partâ&#x20AC;? of your brain. That part, in turn, is affected by your emotions, which come from a different part of your brain.

So, yes, how the rest of your brain responds to the pain registering in the pain centers of the brain can greatly affect how you experience it.

Certain types of pain, particularly chronic pain that interferes with daily life, may respond to mindbody therapies. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news for anyone who struggles with backache, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, arthritis or the many other causes of ongoing pain.

How you feel pain is also influenced by your genetic makeup, your personality and your past experience. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in pain for a while, your brain may have rewired itself to perceive pain signals even after the signals arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being sent anymore.

Drugs can effectively relieve pain, but often they have unpleasant, even serious, side effects when used for a long time.

I spoke to Dr. Ellen Slawsby, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. She suggested the following mind-body techniques can

Although she may not be open to counseling, you should have some to help you understand why you have tolerated this one-sided arrangement for 20 years. You say you may not be able to afford a divorce, but if what’s driving you to the poorhouse is your free-spending spouse, it

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips would also be in your interest to consult an attorney to find out if it’s possible to break that cycle.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have a happy, well-adjusted only child who shares and gets along well with others. But a few family members continually comment that they are “surprised” he has these characteristics since he’s an only child. They make negative remarks about only children in general and act as though he suffers because he doesn’t have siblings.

When they visit, they seem surprised that entertaining multiple people in our home with their children doesn’t upset us and isn’t unusual. I point out that I have friends who are only children who are happy, well-adjusted, successful adults, yet these relatives continue to make hurtful comments.

At Christmas my sister remarked that she doesn’t feel we are a “real” family because we only have one child. I found it hurtful that this intelligent woman would say such a thing.

What is the best way to respond to these remarks?

I feel like I need to educate, as well as inform them that they need to stop hurting me. – Happy With One Dear Happy With One: A quick start on your road to recovery would be to recognize that the relatives may make those snarky comments because they are jealous. The next time you receive what you interpret to be a criticism because of the size of your small family, tell these people you heard them the first time they made their tasteless remark, and not to repeat it again.

Pearls Before Swine

Dear Abby: I have been married 40 years, and it’s just the two of us. I work full time and make a good living. We have a large house in a great neighborhood.

My problem is my wife. She hasn’t worked throughout almost all of our marriage and has to be the laziest person I know. We haven’t slept in the same bed for 20 years. She weighs 300 pounds and is always going to diet, but never really does.

She sleeps in her own bedroom with a huge walkin closet piled up to the top shelf with nice items she refuses to put away. She also has a separate bathroom and living room.

Her section of the house is a pigsty. It stinks to high heaven because she never gets around to cleaning it.

The kitchen is worse. She never cooks a meal. Either I do it after cleaning up, or I live off TV dinners.

When it comes to our finances, we’re up to our eyeballs in debt. She spends money like it grows on trees. If I ask a simple question, her replies are mean and sarcastic. I would have gotten a divorce a long time ago if I could afford one.

I’m a reasonably good-looking guy. I could have had an affair ages ago, but I wasn’t brought up that way. Don’t bother saying she should get counseling.

According to her, she has no problems.

I am so tired of living the way I do, I could just cry if I thought it would do any good. What do you think? –

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Clinging to old ideas or strategies will hold you back. Make this a year of change and new beginnings. A positive outlook, plenty of self-confidence and the ability to make the most of every situation you encounter will lead you to success. Live in the moment, not the past.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Work hard to reduce your debt load. You will move ahead much faster if you don’t have money preying on your mind. Keeping track of minor expenditures will help you cut costs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Take a moment to reflect. You do so much for others that you deserve a little time to reassess your situation and find solutions to whatever isn’t working for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you need a change, make it happen. If you face facts head-on, you will quickly see what you need to implement in order to get ahead. Look, see and do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Turn over a new leaf.

Apply the finishing touches to overdue projects.

Putting things behind you will help build confidence, enabling you to face the future with optimism.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Pursue your own interests. Catch up on your reading, organize your personal papers or take a day trip. Group activities are likely to end in disappointment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Use your discretion if you face a difference of opinion when

dealing with someone in charge. You may not want to back down, but avoiding an argument will be necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Expect to feel emotionally troubled. You want to help others, but there will be tasks you are not capable of doing. Consult a trusted adviser for assistance before you proceed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Nurture personal relationships by using incentives to get everyone to pitch in and help get chores out of the way so you can spend quality time together.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will be disappointed to learn that someone you trusted has let you down. Keep your ideas and plans a secret, and don’t share any personal informa-

tion.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Deception is apparent. Someone near to you will try to hold you back or take advantage of you. Make sure that you are given credit for your input and achievements.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – With your ability to deal with people on all levels, you should consider running for a position of leadership.

Your strong sense of fair play would make you an excellent candidate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t jeopardize your reputation at home or at work by participating in a gripe session or spreading gossip.

For now, you are best off keeping your opinions to yourself.
