Pregnant Minooka woman’s outlook on life changed by a random act of kindness VIEWS Kate Schott MINOOKA – Nothing like this has happened to Katy Summers before. That’s why it has caught her so off-guard – and made her determined to do something similar to repay the stranger whose random act of kindness has changed her outlook on life. She wrote me, saying she was “lucky enough to have a small act of kindness change my outlook on humanity.” She reeled me in with the subject line of her email: “Restored faith in humanity story.” Given the news we reported last week in Will and Grundy counties – heck, in the whole country and overseas, too – I figured I could use some uplifting news. I opened it, read it, called her that evening and asked if I could share her experience with our readers. She agreed. Katy, 23, is eight months pregnant. She recently graduated from Illinois State with a degree in elementary education and moved in with her mother in Minooka. She is a certified elementary teacher working for minimum wage at a preschool. She and her boyfriend struggle to help her family with bills, make ends meet and prepare for their baby. On Tuesday, after going grocery shopping after work, she left the Circle K gas station in Minooka with her wallet on top of her car roof. Within 10 minutes, she was back at the station, realizing what had happened. As she drove back, she mentally went through what was

in her wallet: $140 in gift cards to buy items for the baby, $45 cash, a debit card and her ID. Given that she recently moved in with her mother, she wasn’t sure if the right address was on her ID. She arrived ... and the wallet was gone. No one had turned it in, and at eight months pregnant, Katy went through garbage cans and searched the parking lot. “I pictured a teenager picking it up, taking the money out and throwing it away,” she said. “I figured at least I could get my ID.” She cried when she couldn’t find even an empty wallet. She went home and unloaded “the measly amount of groceries I could I afford this week.” As she and her mother carried them inside, a man in a black car pulled in front of the house. Katy said she wiped her “still streaming tears” and asked if he had her wallet. “Actually I do,” he said, and handed Katy her wallet. He explained he had found it in the middle of the street and mapped her address to return it. Everything was still there. Gift cards, cash, debit card, ID. “I was in shock. I should have hugged him or something,” Katy said. “I didn’t get his name or anything. When he pulled up, I was so shocked he was even in front of my house.” He was gone as fast as he arrived. So he wasn’t there when, 15 minutes later, she found the $20 bill and a note that simply read “random act of kindness” that he left in her wallet. “I started crying again,” Katy said, and showed it to her mother, who was on the phone with her grandmother. “We were all in shock that he found me and returned it.

And on top of it, there was this note,” she said. “We were speechless.” So much of the news is bad, Katy said, and she thought sharing her positive experience would be uplifting. And she hopes maybe the man who returned her wallet will read this and know his small action means the world to her. “I would want him to know just how much it truly meant to us,” she said when I asked her what she would tell the man if she could. “And how obligated I feel to pay it forward now. Everybody says how one good deed can lead to a million. And I feel like that. I want to do good things for other people.” In the larger scheme of things, what happened to Katy was just a small moment in time. Millions of moments have happened since then. The individual moments we cherish often are kept private. I feel privileged when people share such moments with me – and in turn, my readers. For it’s when we share the experiences we treasure, that have changed us, that we can in turn maybe change others. Maybe Katy’s story causes you to simply smile, or perform a random act of kindness of your own – which could, in turn, cause a chain-reaction of others also doing something nice for a stranger. If that happens, moments like the one that happened to Katy never have to end. Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

LOCAL BRIEF Hiker who died in Ore. river from New Lenox SANDY, Ore. – The Clackamas County, Oregon, sheriff’s office has identified a hiker who died this week in the rain-swollen Sandy River near Mount Hood as a New Lenox man. The sheriff’s office says 34-year-old Brent A. Ludwig was crossing a seasonal wooden footbridge on the Ramona Falls Trail on Tuesday when the river suddenly surged an estimated four to six feet, sweeping the man into the water. Search crews found the man’s body more than a mile downstream.

COVER STORY

Despite reform, Will-Grundy Medical Clinic still in demand By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Despite the advent of the Affordable Care Act earlier this year, Will-Grundy Medical Clinic Executive Director Shawn West believes there’s still a need for a free care clinic in the area. Even with Obamacare, many fixed-income families will find premiums and out-ofpocket expenses unaffordable, she said. “We are a safety net provider for health care,” West said. “We have some patients that are Medicaid eligible, but they’re waiting for their application to be processed, so we still see those patients. Others have been quoted a rate from the marketplace that they can’t afford.” Many patients served through the clinic sometimes wait for months at a time for dental and medical care. That list will only grow if health care volunteers don’t step up, West said. The clinic remains entirely dependent on a strong volunteer base, she said, although the numbers have declined over the years. “We want to serve even more patients,” said West, who stepped into the new leadership role in December, replacing longtime executive director J.D. Ross. “The dental wait-list is significant. People are waiting months to get in for dental.” That’s even with the decline in patient visits since open enrollment in Obamacare started earlier this year. The clinic saw about 570 patients – including those needing prescriptions – in July 2013. A year later, that number had dropped to 450. More patients could be served if more volunteers, including physicians, nurses and office staff, would give of their time, West said.

Nurse Jean Cleary takes down information July 31 while examining Cenorina Castro at the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic in Joliet. Cleary volunteers her services at the clinic. Founded in 1988, Will-Grundy Medical Clinic is the only free clinic in Will and Grundy counties for people without health insurance and with limited financial resources. Individuals who want to become patients must meet eligibility requirements and must apply for patient status.

Lowering ER visits, hospital re-admissions The clinic is funded by the United Ways in both counties, Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers, Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, Silver Cross Hospital and Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital. The Will-Grundy Medical Clinic serves patients who

otherwise would “fall through the cracks,” said Janet Long, spokeswoman for Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers. “Will-Grundy Medical Clinic helps fill the gap for those without coverage,” Long said. “We recognize the clinic for what they do for this community. The clinic is completely aligned with our own mission – that is, to improve health of area residents. And they do that regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.” From December until July, the clinic experienced a decline in patients served, but – unlike other free health care clinics nationwide that are closing their doors with the advent of Obamacare –

Will-Grundy Medical Clinic is in it for the long haul, West said. The clinic’s success helps reduce emergency room visits and re-admissions to hospitals, according to Beth Hughes, president and CEO for Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet. Without a medical home, patients often use the ER for non-urgent primary care, which is the most costly way to care for a patient, Hughes said. “Regardless of health reform, we’re still seeing a great deal of patients who are under-insured or uninsured coming into the ER,” Hughes said. “The free clinic serves as a safety net. We want to serve

far more patients at the clinic far more than we have historically. To do that, we need more people to volunteer.” The high rate of hospital re-admissions is also a concern, not only in Illinois, but nationwide, Hughes said. Medicare has started penalizing hospitals for readmitting

Advocates: Higher fines for parking scofflaws be assigning an officer, but I think it’s doable,” Johnson told the group. “I don’t think it would be a hard sell for [Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton]. He’s very much about the community.”

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A local disability group would like the city to enact – and hopefully enforce – stiffer fines for scofflaws parking in spots set aside for people with disabilities. The Mayor’s Advisory Committee on Disability Issues also wants to prohibit Joliet businesses and residents from piling snow on city sidewalks and to have developers more aggressively promote universal design concepts for local housing. Committee Chairman Tony Arellano said handicapped parking violations in Joliet have increased dramatically since a citizens patrol was disbanded about a year and a half ago. “I see more and more people violating handicapped parking spaces, and nothing happens to them,” Arellano said. The group would like to see fines increased from $250 to $350. Other area towns, including Shorewood and New Lenox, now fine at the higher rate, Arellano said. “The deterrent to park in disability parking spaces should be

A sign designating a parking spot for a person with a disability is seen in Joliet on Thursday. high so that people would think twice before taking a spot from a person who really needs the space,” Arellano said.

Fines, patrol considered At-large Councilman Jim McFarland, who attended the disability committee’s meeting Thursday at Bicentennial Park, said he would bring the proposal to the City Council. “It’s unfair to the people who need handicapped parking,” McFarland said. “The only way to bring it home is with a stiffer fine.” Arellano said a citizens patrol that worked with Joliet police for several years was

highly effective in enforcing handicapped parking violations. Citizen spotters would patrol various commercial parking lots in town and report violators to police. An officer would then issue a ticket to the offender. But a decline in citizen participation and police department budget cuts resulted in the patrol’s demise in 2012, Arellano said. Ed Johnson, a crime prevention officer with the Joliet Police Department who also attended the meeting, said it’s possible to re-establish the citizens patrol. “The biggest problem would

The group also was concerned about businesses that piled snow on city sidewalks or failed to shovel snow at all. Arellano said snow piles were a huge issue in some commercial districts last winter, impeding foot traffic for schoolchildren, the elderly, disabled and other pedestrians. “At 8 a.m. you’d see kids and people waking around piles of snow and in the street because there is no sidewalk,” Arellano said. McFarland said he received several complaints on the issue from bus commuters in the Jefferson Street corridor. “This is something we definitely need to look into,” McFarland said, noting the city’s only ordinance regarding snow shoveling is a prohibition from shoveling snow into the street. McFarland said informing businesses about the need to

clear snow to keep their businesses accessible during winter might help resolve the issue. Johnson noted that last winter’s record snowfalls created a lot of problems for everyone. “Sometimes it’s a matter that there’s nowhere to put the snow,” Johnson said.

Universal home design Finally, the group would like to see area developers promote universal design in new homes. Universal, or inclusive design, are building standards that address the needs of the disabled. Examples include more accessible light switches and electrical outlets and fewer steps. Arellano said the design format would allow more Jolietans to “age out” in their own homes rather than end up in nursing homes. It also would accommodate the surge in disabled veterans, he said. The group would like to see developers at least have a universal design model home in housing projects so potential homeowners could see the format. Universal design homes costs about 1 to 2 percent more upfront, versus about 20 percent to retrofit, Arellano said.

Pace adds additional ‘Bus on Shoulder’ routes on Interstate 55 By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Heading into work Monday, Pace riders who commute to downtown Chicago may notice fewer stops – and a quicker commute. To bring faster times and more direct services, Pace has split its Route 855 into three different routes, with No. 855 starting in Plainfield, No. 851 starting in South Bolingbrook and No. 850 starting in North Provided photo Bolingbrook.

Route 755, which starts Chicago’s Union Station. During heavy congestion “That will get folks a little in Plainfield, once ended at University of Chicago/Medi- closer to the west Loop,” Pace or rush hour, Pace buses

along the four routes can use the shoulders along Interstate 55, thanks to the suburban bus agency’s expansion of the 2011 pilot “Bus on Shoulder” program, Wilmot said. Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law last week a plan that makes the bus agency’s Bus on Shoulder program permanent. The program has made Pace more attractive to riders, Wilmot said. “I think people who would be sitting in congestion during their commute downtown every day would see the bus pass right by on the shoulder and get downtown more quickly,” Wilmot said. “It’s not too long before they give it a try. We’ve not only been able to convince riders who are already with us to ride more frequently,

but we’ve also attracted new riders.” Route 755 saw just 36 riders in June 2011 – before buses could ride along shoulders during rush hour. Ridership last month on Route 755 stood at 262 – a 628 percent increase over three years, Wilmot said. The program has allowed Pace to increase its reliability in scheduling and arrival times, Wilmot said. “Prior to the program beginning in 2011, we didn’t publish a complete outbound schedule because there was just no way to accurately predict travel times,” Wilmot said. “Now, not only can we give folks some idea of when they’ll arrive home, we’ve been able to improve on those times.”

Event marks 30 years of canal heritage corridor THE HERALD–NEWS The Canal Corridor Association has scheduled a series of free events from Lemont to LaSalle next weekend to kick off a year-long celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor. Ana Koval, the association’s CEO, billed the Aug. 2324 Canal Corridor Caravan as “a roadtrip to discover history and explore nature in your backyard.” “We want to show off some of the many special places along the historic corridor with ‘mini’ tours at nearly 20 stops,” Koval said. The two-day, eight-town event will showcase sites that helped make the Illinois & Michigan Canal the backbone of the nation’s first National Heritage Corridor, Koval said.

Scheduled stops for Aug. 23 include: • Lemont: historic St. James Church and cemetery, tours of the Heritage Quarries Recreation Area or historic downtown Lemont, followed by lunch at The Inn at Smokey Row. • Lockport: Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery (quilting exhibit and new river weaving sculpture set in the I&M Canal), followed by a tour of Will County Historical Society archives. • Joliet: The Joliet Area Historical Museum’s Route 66 Visitors Center will offer

drive-through goodie bags. • Wilmington: Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie for a unique tour. • Morris: Dinner at Chapin’s Restaurant.

The itinerary for Aug. 24 includes: • Morris: A bicycle or walking tour at Aux Sable Creek, which also features Lock 8, a preserved locktender’s house and the Aux Sable Creek aqueduct. Breakfast will be offered at the Grundy County Historical Museum in Morris. • Seneca: A visit to the grain elevator along the I&M Canal. • Ottawa: Tours of the Reddick Mansion, Ottawa Tollhouse and Washington Park. • LaSalle: Lunch at Lock 16 Visitors Center, free LaSalle Canal Boat rides, a commemorative caravan photo at the boat, and celebratory cake, followed by a tour of the Hegeler Carus Mansion. • Utica: A visit to the LaSalle County Historical Society & Museum, where participants can sit and take photos of the desk used by President Ronald Reagan 30 years ago, as he signed into legislation the designation of the nation’s very first heritage corridor. Participants can join in on any or all of the activities on the two-day route. Preplanned meals will be available at several caravan stops during the two-day event. Registration is required at canalcor.org or 815-223-1851.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The recent demolition of two houses in the Cathedral area by the Catholic Diocese of Joliet has nearby residents concerned about parking expansion plans at the Cathedral of St. Raymond. However, several officials say the planned project will complement the neighborhood and recent public debate over the plans was fueled by unintentional miscommunication. “Everything has been resolved,” city Councilwoman Jan Hallums Quillman said. “There was miscommunication between the parties involved in this.” According to the diocese, the plan adds 36 parking spaces to replace street parking. Sidewalks along Raynor and Mason avenues will be replaced. A brick and limestone wall will go up along Raynor to block the view of cars and their headlights on the road. A metal fence with brick and limestone piers also will be constructed along the Mason Avenue prop-

erty line. The plan calls for an extensive storm-water detention system and follows all city code and permitting requirements. Catholic Area Preservation Association officials say they were casually notified, but no project plans were brought before them. They worry further demolition of homes could have an impact on nearby property values. Demolition is a sensitive issue within the Catholic Area community, which went through a similar episode in the 1990s with another church taking down houses for parking. At that time, Quillman said a general agreement was reached that no homes on Raynor Avenue would be demolished, and demolition notification would go to neighbors. But after reviewing city code, Quillman said no specific ordinance detailing that agreement was passed. “This doesn’t just affect us,” Quillman said, adding that the city is looking into adopting a similar ordinance. “This is a

citywide issue. It can happen to anyone.” Quillman brought the issue to the City Council on Aug. 5. She said proper notification wasn’t given to nearby homeowners and CAPA. CAPA board member Robert Nachtrieb agreed with Quillman and spoke to the City Council about how the home demolitions affected neighbors. But he acknowledged the cathedral had the right to demolish buildings on its property. After that meeting, Quillman met with officials from the diocese, who explained their intentions. Quillman said city staff also inadvertently withheld information about the plan. “They fully intended to meet with the CAPA board, but things got pushed back,” Quillman said. “There was no malicious intent.” Diocese spokesman Ed Flavin said the diocese spoke with CAPA President John Kella in May about the plan. Officials plan to discuss the plan at the next CAPA meeting.

Students arrive by bus at River View Elementary School in Plainfield for the first day of school Thursday. Local officials are reminding motorists to take care around school buses as the school year begins.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

and FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com With the school season arriving, authorities are cautioning motorists to take care around the most popular mode of transportation for budding young minds everywhere – school buses. Motorists can help keep young people who ride the bus twice a day safe by obeying speed zones in school areas, traffic lights and directions by crossing guards. “It’s important for motorists to remember that children are walking to and from bus stops. Not just in school zones,” Coal City Police Chief Tom Best said. “It’s important to not only obey speed limits, but also pay attention to their surroundings as school starts back up and kids are walking.” A common problem bus drivers at Channahon School District 17 encounter is people blowing off stop signs that extend from school buses, said Michael Schroeder, the school district’s chief school business official. “It’s really intimidating our students who are very, very young,” he said. “And they can step into a stop sign [area]. When a driver passes a stop sign, they put everyone in danger.” Schroeder said drivers should understand that, as

they get closer to a school bus, the driver is less able to see them. He asked that students and others wait until a bus comes to a complete stop before approaching. He also suggested getting students out to their stops early, so they do not have to run for their buses, he said. Statistically, school buses are the safest transportation option for students. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, students are 50 times more likely to arrive at school alive if they take a bus than either driving themselves or riding with friends. Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said police officers will write tickets to speeders, people who do not obey stop signs and people who drive while using their cellphones. “We also have crossing guards in place to assist us and we want motorists aware of the crossing guards and to drive carefully,” he said. In a new release, he also reminded residents to remember that local school schedules are staggered. Depending on the school, children could be on their way to class any time between 7:30 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. Students may also get off from school any time from 2:43 p.m. until 3:35 p.m. “The big thing is people need to get back into the mindset that school buses are going to be rolling,” Schroeder said.

Buffalo Wild Wings coming to New Lenox

Greuling: County’s jobless rate down, job growth rising By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

NEW LENOX – Buffalo Wild Wings may come to New Lenox by the beginning of next year. Owners of the restaurant chain plan to occupy a roughly 6,000-square-foot building at Nelson Plaza near Nelson Road in New Lenox, said Nancy Hoehn, the village’s economic development director. The space was used by a movie video store that closed several years ago, she said “We’re really excited they’re coming to us. … We just think they’re going to be a great addition to that center,” she said. “It’s an older center that has seen some issues and went through foreclosures. We’re very encouraged. It will bring a lot of traffic to the center and be a

quite frankly, what is the new normal in terms of unemployment?” In October 2005, Will County’s unemployment rate dropped to 4.6 percent. In October 2006, the rate dipped to 3.2 percent. The rate increased from there.

Job growth Job growth is showing signs of improvement, too, he said. A little more than 9,500 jobs were created in Will County between June 2013 and June 2014, bringing the county’s job total to 282,324, according to data compiled by the Workforce Investment Board of Will County. For comparison, just 5,100 new jobs came to Will County from 2010 to 2011. Industries that saw the most growth in Will County include utilities; wholesale trade; company and enterprise management; and administrative, support and waste management. Food service; retail trade; transportation and warehousing; finance and insurance; professional and technical services; and health care and social assistance also saw growth within the same 12-month period. During Greuling’s presentation Thursday, Will County Board Member Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, expressed concern about whether Will County residents have the skills required to find jobs within these industries. “The reason I’m asking that is it may mean we don’t have the skills inside our county, therefore we have to look outside the county to fill those positions,” Moustis said. “If we don’t have our residents out ready for those jobs, I think we need to make note of that.” Greuling said the Center for Economic Development is working with 25 prospective companies considering Will County, which represents about $1.1 billion in capital investments and nearly 3,000 jobs.

“We are really excited to see not only new development but redevelopment here in New Lenox. And to provide another quality eating establishment for residents. That’s what we want.” Tim Baldermann New Lenox mayor

benefit for all the businesses in the area.” The restaurant, which was founded in 1982 in Ohio, has about 1,000 locations nationwide, according to its Web site. Buffalo Wild Wings has Will County locations in Shorewood, Romeoville, Plainfield, Frankfort and Bolingbrook. The owner of the New Lenox location will be Brad Fralich, Hoehn said. New Lenox Mayor Tim

Baldermann said the proposed restaurant would need liquor license approval from the Village Board and approvals from the village Planning Commission. Nevertheless, he is looking forward to their arrival. “We are really excited to see not only new development but redevelopment here in New Lenox,” he said. “And to provide another quality eating establishment for residents. That’s what we want.”

JOLIET – Will County is improving on all fronts – including jobless rates, job growth and business investments. That was the message from John Greuling, president and CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development, last week as he presented the nonprofit’s mid-year report to members of the Will County Board’s Executive Committee. Experiencing an increase of 3.5 percent in job growth, Will County saw three times the increase Illinois did between June 2013 and June 2014, ac- John cording to the Greuling CED report. Will also surpassed job growth in Cook and DuPage counties. Jobless rates in Will County fell from 10.4 percent in June 2013 to 7.3 percent this June, according to the CED report. At the same time, the number of Will County residents employed in the county increased 1.5 percent between June 2013 and June 2014, from 338,972 to 344,305. Still, DuPage and Kendall counties have lower jobless rates than Will, and Will’s rate remains just above the state’s average of 7.1 percent. Despite the overall downward trend, Greuling said he’s concerned about the area’s unemployment rate becoming the “new normal.” “The sad news is, if you look at the historical trend, our lowest unemployment rate in the last 15 years was in 2005,” Greuling said, noting the county’s unemployment rate spiked to more than 12 percent at the height of the recession. “The comparison for recent years sounds good, but that’s a lot different than what we considered full employment 15 years ago. Our concern is,

VFW Post Commander Charlie Brown and Irene Shepkoski, head of the reference department for the Coal City Public Library, look over the names on the post’s original charter signed 90 years ago. Shepkoski is compiling obituaries for each of the VFW post’s founding members to include with the display.

VFW charter commemorated By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – For a 90-yearold piece of parchment, the Coal City VFW’s original charter looks pretty good. Considering the charter was tucked inside post member Frank Spinozzi’s garage for the past four years, it looks even better. “Is this really the original? You’ve doctored it all up,” a surprised Spinozzi said Wednesday, after seeing the charter for the first time since its restoration. The VFW St. Juvin Post 1336 had the document refurbished, making it ready for public display. The charter was signed in March 1925 and includes the names of each founding member, written in calligraphy. Members of the St. Juvin post gathered Wednesday at the Coal City Public Library where the historic document was placed on display. The library will house the charter indefinitely as part of the library’s local history section. The library’s head of reference, Irene Shepkoski, is compiling a book of obituaries and articles about each of the original St. Juvin post members who signed the document. The book will go on display

with the charter, so the public can read about each of the founders. “It’ll share with the community the links they may have to these families,” Shepkoski said. “A lot of these families are still in the community.” St. Juvin Commander Charlie Brown said that was why the post wanted the charter displayed publicly – so community members could connect with their heritage. After the post sold its Coal City building about four years ago, the charter and a few other significant documents were stored away. Last year, post members began saving money for the document restoration and framing, intending to find it a new home. “We got together and decided the library would be a great place to keep it,” Brown said. The improved charter is now preserved with an acid-proof matte and is framed with museum-grade glass. Shepkoski said the charter will hang on the second floor of the library, among other local, historical artifacts. “It’s just an interesting view into the past,” Brown said. “You don’t get to see things like this very often.”

One of every four kernels of corn grown in Illinois is exported to the world through the CenterPoint Intermodal Center. That’s good for our local farmers. No one grows corn better than our local farmers, and no one connects them to the global marketplace faster than the CenterPoint Intermodal Center in Joliet and Elwood. The agriculture industry in Illinois depends on exports, and according to the Will County Farm Bureau, one of every four kernels of corn grown in Illinois is exported to the world through the CIC. That’s good for our local farmers, and it creates tax revenues and more jobs for all of us.

Steinys and Silosky formed a new majority with Hurtado. They made several decisions that were questioned, including the hiring of Garrett Peck as executive director over a more experienced candidate, Cameron Bettin. Hurtado, who was president of the board at the time, is the subject of a grand jury investigation into the sale of LED lighting to the park district and was recently subpoenaed to testify. At Wednesday’s meeting, the board approved the hiring of Worth Park District director Carlo Capalbo as executive director of the Plainfield park district. He is set to begin Sept. 8.

PLAINFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill Friday afternoon that expands the Plainfield Township Park District board from five to seven commissioners, according to spokesman Dave Blanchette. “This new law is intended to make the governance of the park district more accessible, accountable and transparent,” Blanchette said. House Bill 5593 is a reaction to several controversial decisions by park district commissioners Peter Hurtado, Peter Steinys and Janet Silosky. Silosky has since started voting with dissenting commissioners Mary Kay Ludemann and Larry Newton, breaking up the majority that had dozens of residents protesting at meetings. Effective immediately, the bill amends the Illinois Park District Code, singling out the Plainfield park district and allowing state Rep. Tom Cross, R-Oswego, and state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, to each select one person to serve on the board until spring, when the two positions will be up for election for full two-year terms. “This is very important because it will help move the board forward,” said Ludemann, board president. “Seven commissioners is a better representation of the district.” Ludemann hopes the candidates are selected in time to be sworn in at the Sept. 10 board meeting. “Given the seriousness of these allegations of misconduct, it is evident that our community needs this change,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “This

law will restore public trust to the Plainfield Park Board.” “Today is the first step toward a fresh start and renewed accountability on the park district board,” Cross said, thanking local residents, Bertino-Tarrant and bill co-sponsor state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, for their efforts in getting the bill passed. During discussion on the bill, there was concern it could set a precedent of state politics interfering in locally elected positions. There also was the option of the board voting itself to expand to seven members, avoiding state intervention but delaying the change until the spring elections. But bill proponents said the situation was so dire that immediate action was necessary.

The boy turned himself in to police Friday afternoon and was taken to the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center. He could face up to a year in juvenile detention if convicted of the misdemeanor. On July 29, the teen reportedly brought the .38-caliber pistol to football camp at Joliet Central High School, according to authorities. “Witnesses said he was ‘screwing around’ and pointed it at another player,” Joliet Police Lt.

PLAINFIELD – A man was arrested Friday afternoon after allegedly robbing a bank and leading police on a chase to Shorewood. Police Chief John Konopek said a man came into BMO Harris Bank, 15901 Route 59, Plainfield, approached a teller and implied he was armed. No one was injured.

“After taking cash, he fled the bank and was seen by an alert citizen who thought it was suspicious and called it in,” Konopek said. Police reportedly followed a Dodge Durango into Shorewood where it was stopped around 2:30 p.m. in the 300 block of North Brookshore Drive. Shorewood, Plainfield and state police ordered the suspect from the vehicle at gunpoint, according to

18 JCA PRIMED FOR HALL OF CHAMPIONS CELEBRATION When Joliet Catholic Academy formulated the concept for its new Heritage Quad, President/Principal Jefrey Budz started brainstorming with Athletic Director Dan Sharp about another historic creation: a Hall of Champions.

girls athletes, coaches, and contributors from De La Salle (1920-33), Joliet Catholic High School (1933-89), St. Francis Academy (1869-1989) and JCA (1990-present).

“In dealing with our strategic planning and talking about last year’s theme being ‘Tradition,’ all of that went into the idea of having a Hall of Champions,” Budz said. “We want people to feel connected to our school.

he inaugural class of inductees — Gordie Gillespie, Bill Gullickson, Allie Quigley, Jim Stefanich and Tom hayer — will be honored in a formal banquet celebration beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, in the school’s Student Activity Center.

“One of my goals is to get to know as many alumni as possible in my role and to get people on campus to show them our school. We feel this latest move forward, our Hall of Champions, is a great way to connect people from our past to the school that we are today.”

“Our Hall of Champions is unique in that we already have a Paddy McGowan Award to honor athletes,” Sharp said. “But we feel, in a sense, this will take things to an even higher step — an even higher standard. It’s going to be a tremendous event.”

Today, Joliet Catholic Academy is a renowned college preparatory high school for boys and girls. he Hall of Champions will honor the boys and

Sharp praised the work of the selection committee, which includes Herald-News sports editor Dick Goss, for picking the irst class.

Gordie Gillespie: he head football coach from 1959-1985, he guided the Hillmen to their irst ive state football championships in 1975 (13-0), 1976 (12-1), 1977 (13-0), 1978 (13-0) and 1981 (13-0), and inished with a 222-54-6 record (.804 winning percentage). Simply, a legend among the very best of coaches.

Bill Gullickson: Drated in the irst round, second overall, by the Montreal Expos in 1977, all the while leading the Hilltoppers to their irst Final Four appearance in baseball. Posted a 162-135 record with a 3.93 ERA, 11 shutouts, 54 complete games and 1,279 strikeouts over the course of 14 major-league seasons.

Jim Stefanich: Ater playing for the Hillmen’s golf state champions in 1958, he turned to bowling and found national success. He was named to the PBA Hall of Fame in 1980 and the ABC Hall of Fame in 1983. Returning to golf, he played on the PGA Senior Tour from 1992-2001 and made the cut in 20 of 24 events.

Allie Quigley: Drated in the irst round, 22nd overall, by Seattle of the WNBA, she currently stars for the Chicago Sky. She set the single-season school record with 515 kills in 2003 for the Angels’ irst state championship volleyball team. She scored 2,387 career points in basketball, with a high game of 49.

hose ive will have plaques recognizing them in the Hall of Champions’ hallway, located adjacent to the Student Activity Center. Cocktails will begin at 5:30, followed by dinner and a ceremony to follow. To purchase tickets, please contact Director of Special Events Christine Voss at 815.741.0500 or via email at cvoss@jca-online.org. Both Budz and Sharp want people to circle their calendars: again, Saturday, Aug. 30, the day ater the Hall of Champions’ inductees will be introduced at JCA’s football season opener and Alumni Golf Classic. To purchase golf tickets, contact Director of Alumni Relations Sue Bebar at 815.741.0500 or email sbebar@jca-online.org.

Tom Thayer: Before he was a Chicago Bear, he was a bear as an ofensive lineman for the Hilltoppers’ 1977 and 1978 state football championship teams. He continued his success at Notre Dame, playing in college football’s national title game. He won the Super Bowl with the Bears in 1985, then became a color commentator.

“When you say the names ... Gillespie, Gullickson, Quigley, Stefanich, hayer ... I’m in awe of their accomplishments,” Budz said. “We’re humbled to highlight their achievements, and I’m so proud of how it relects upon the JCA of today.” “Every year, we have amazing student-athletes continuously striving to reach the excellence of our irst class for the Hall of Champions,” Sharp said. “Now, our athletes will be able to walk through that hallway and recognize, ‘his is what it means to be a Hilltopper. his is what it means to be an Angel.’ It’s inspiring.”

too many patients as part of a reduction program mandated by the Affordable Care Act. The Will-Grundy Medical Clinic is unique in that it can provide continued, consistent care for patients with a high risk for re-admittance, she said. “If a patient doesn’t have a home and no one watching their medical condition after discharge, they have a higher likelihood of returning back to the hospital within that 30day window, but if we’re able to properly discharge a patient to the clinic, we reduce the chances of re-admissions greatly,” West said

This year, clinic officials are focusing on new programs, including Zumba fitness classes, nutrition counseling, and healthy cooking classes, said Kim Kalafut, di-

rector of development at the clinic. Award-winning Chef Peggy Gerdes, from the Autobahn Country Club, offered a cooking demonstration last month at the clinic. “She showed people healthy alternatives to traditional recipes,” Kalafut said. “That’s the kind of things we want to bring to patients on a monthly basis. We want people to learn how to cook with more healthy ingredients.” These are services not typically offered through expanded Medicaid programs, but would be free to patients at the clinic, she said. The University of Illinois Extension is offering its services to the clinic by providing training to volunteer nurses on nutrition counseling, too, West said. “That’s the direction health care is going in,” West said. “Prevention really is key. If you want to impact someone’s life, help them develop good eating and exercise habits.”

When Service, Comfort and Quality Matter Most Choose Joliet Area Community Hospice Where Patients Come First

By JOHN ROGERS The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Jay Adams, the colorful rebel who helped transform skateboarding from a simple street pastime into one of the world’s most spectacular sports with hair-raising stunts and an outsized personality to match, has died at age 53. Adams died of a heart attack Thursday during a surfing vacation in Mexico with his wife and friends, his manager, Susan Ferris said Friday. With his flowing, sunbleached hair, explosive skating style and ebullient

had proudly been clean and sober for the past several years, blamed his troubles in part on the sport’s early years, when seemingly any outrageous behavior was tolerated. “We were wild and acting crazy and not being very positive role models,” he told The New York Times shortly after being released from prison for the last time in 2008. He had rocketed to fame while still a teenager as a founding member of the Zephyr Skate Team, a group of surfers turned skateboarders who came together in a rundown, dicey neighborhood known as Dogtown that

straddles Los Angeles’ Venice Beach and the city of Santa Monica. Peralta, another member, would memorialize the group in his 2001 documentary “Dogtown and Z-Boys.” “Watching him when he was 14, 15, 16 was pure entertainment,” the filmmaker recalled Friday. “It was like watching energy itself evolve. You never knew what he was going to do, and no matter how great he was at something, he never repeated it.” Although he wasn’t technically the best skater out there, Peralta said, Adams’ influence on the sport was as great as that of X Games gold

medalist Tony Hawk. Adams never became quite the household name Hawk is, perhaps in part because of his repeated brushes with the law. When “Dogtown and Z-Boys” premiered in 2001, he was in jail again, this time doing time on a drug charge. About the time the 2005 feature film “Lords of Dogtown” would hit theaters, Adams, who was played by actor Emile Hirsch, was being busted for drugs again. Upon his release, he vowed to stay out of trouble – and he did. Adams is survived by his wife, Tracy, and two children.

Survivors include his wife Patricia, whom he married on March 31, 1977, in York, PA; children: Dallas (Monica) Vignone of Jacksonville, Shelly (Bret) Hinegardnar of Manchester, Todd (Karyn) Potter of Coal City and Ira (Kelly) Potter of Marseilles; twelve grandchildren; sister, Cathy Brown of Wilmington, and brothers: Jim (Mary Beth) Potter and Donald (Sharon) Potter, both of Texas, as well as his great friend Joel Davis of Wilmington. Robert was preceded in death by his parents. Visitation and video tribute will be Monday, August 18th between the hours of 4:00p.m. and 8:00 p.m. at Baskerville Funeral Home, 700 East Kahler Road in Wilmington (815-476-2181). Funeral services will follow Tuesday morning August 19th at 10:30 a.m. in the funeral home with funeral celebrant Violette Baskerville, CFC officiating. In the spirit of Bob’s enthusiasm of the Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bears, family and friends

attending the visitation and services are invited to wear their favorite sports attire as a tribute to Bob. Burial with full military honors will be in Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood. Preferred memorials may be made as gifts in Robert’s memory to his family for their distribution. Online guest book: www.BaskervilleFuneral.com

personality, Adams became one of the sport’s most iconic figures during the years it moved from empty backyard swimming pools to international competition. “He was like the original viral spore that created skateboarding,” fellow skateboarder and documentary filmmaker Stacy Peralta told The Associated Press on Friday. “He was it.” But at the height of his fame in the early 1980s, Adams was convicted of felony assault, launching a string of prison stints over the next 24 years.

STATE Re-enactor loves living in the past By ALEX GARY The Associated Press ROCKFORD – Leah Nelson loves to spend her summer looking back – way back into the late 1800s. Nelson is one of the rotating band of re-enactors you’ll find on weekends at Midway Village and Museum Center’s Victorian Village from March into October. Nelson’s weekly occupation is coordinator for community outreach for Rockford University. She has spent many of her weekends for the past seven years at the Victorian Village, giving tours, demonstrating handiwork or just telling stories while strolling the grounds in late 1800s-style dresses. “I am actually the former executive director for the Erlander Home Museum, and I serve on the boards for the Swedish Historical Society and the [Frank Lloyd Wright-designed] Laurent House,” Nelson said. “I enjoy museums. This is another way of teaching. A lot of us need to have the kinesthetic ways of learning, and living history is a part of that.” When asked, Nelson declined to reveal her age. “In Victorian times, you simply wouldn’t ask a lady that question.” Midway Village’s Victorian Village has more than 20 structures, some original, based on late 1800 to early 1900 architecture. They range from a hardware store, general store, print shop and blacksmith to a school, church, hospital, police station and family homes. Of course, Midway also has a doll house museum and a nearly 53,000-square-foot museum center featuring exhibits on early aviation pioneer Bert “Fish” Hassel, the Rockford Peaches – the women’s professional baseball team from the 1940s to mid-1950s – and Rockford industry, including a new exhibit about Rockford’s furniture industry that dominated the city from 1900 until the Great Depression.

Leah Nelson of Rockford poses for a photo July 26 in costume as a Victorian re-enactor. Nelson is one of the rotating band of re-enactors you’ll find on weekends at Midway Village and Museum Center’s Victorian Village from March into October. She has been a re-enactor at Midway for the past seven summers. In 2013, Midway drew about 58,000 people to all of its various attractions. “There are a number of these living history museums in the U.S., but it is a nice attraction to have in Rockford,” said John Groh, head of the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. Perhaps the most famous living history museum is in Williamsburg, Virginia. Eagle, Wisconsin, has Old World Wisconsin, the largest outdoor museum dedicated to the history of

“A lot of us need to have the kinesthetic ways of learning, and living history is a part of that.” Leah Nelson Victorian Village re-enactor rural life. “What is unique about Midway is that it has a lot of land which allows it to have special events like World War

II and World War I days. Those are becoming increasingly popular.” Some of the re-enactors are strictly volunteer and others, like Nelson, are paid staff. Nelson said she gets excited each spring when opening weekend for Victorian Village nears. She said that there really isn’t anything about her side occupation that she doesn’t like. “Even when it’s really hot we don’t feel it as much because we are wearing cottons and wools,” she said. “The

polyesters you are wearing are much more restrictive.” And the recurring role allows her to talk about one of her favorite subjects – the role of women in Rockford’s history. “So much of what history is about is both sexes certainly, but I love to talk about women such as Jane Addams, who graduated from Rockford University and went on to found Hull House in Chicago helping immigrants to get a start here.”

Urban gardeners

Native Americans connect to past through gardens

By STACY THACKER The Associated Press CHICAGO – A train roars by as Native American children and instructors climb up a railroad embankment in Chicago, headed toward a barren patch of land that they’ll transform into a garden with edible and medicinal plants. Some carry potted plants or spades to break up the earth hardened by the summer sun, eager to connect with their natural surroundings. They’re continuing an important cultural tradition that can be difficult to maintain for native people who, decades ago, left reservations for urban areas like Chicago, which now has one of the 10 largest native populations in the U.S. “Even though we’re in the city, we’re not landless,” said Janie Pochel, 28, an instructor who identifies as Lakota and Cree. The garden project, known as Urban Ecology, is sponsored by the American Indian Center on the city’s North Side. The first garden began 10 years ago in front of the center and has grown to include two more gardens in the city, including one lining an embankment of the Union Pacific railroad. There, the group is working on growing an oak savanna, like the one that inhabited the area years ago. “If we’re going to change kids’ ideas about who they are as native people, who they are as tribal people and what that means, we had to connect kids

Students carry plants July 10 across the street to a railroad embankment during a gardening exercise with the American Indian Center in Chicago. Chicago has one of the 10 largest native populations in the U.S. Many moved to urban areas after the federal Indian Relocation Act of 1956. with land – and that began with plants,” according to project coordinator Eli Suzukovich III, who is also known as Little Shell in Chicago’s relatively small but tightknit native community. “We get them thinking about how that plant lives, its cultural significance, and then from that one plant would radiate out to the larger land context.” The American Indian Center is one of a few organizations across the country to plant gardens. The Indian Health Centers in Milwaukee and Detroit focus in part on teaching the

community about healthier eating habits in the face of increased diabetes risks. Native Americans are twice as likely to be diagnosed with diabetes, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health. Detroit’s garden also focuses on cultural relevancy like the Chicago center’s garden, which was planted in hopes to bring back some remnants of life as it was on the reservation, where medicinal plants were more likely used and a trip to the pharmacy wasn’t neces-

sary. Plants like blue flag, an iris, can be used for fevers and Echinacea can be used as a vitamin source. Prompted by the federal Indian Relocation Act of 1956, many Native Americans left for bigger cities – such as Chicago – in search of better economic opportunities. Some were successful in making a living in the city, while others weren’t and eventually went back to reservation life. Today, there are about 27,000 people of native descent living in Chicago, a city that ranks among the nation’s biggest populations of

American Indians and Alaska Natives, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. Suzukovich said the center hasn’t gotten any pushback for their gardens from the city, state or railroad company, and the reaction to the gardens has been positive. Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said the railroad has an agreement with the center for the use of the land. He added that the company grants access to property along a rail line on a “case by case basis,” saying safety is one of the considerations.

U.S. service members complain private cars missing The ASSOCIATED PRESS SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE – Hundreds of U.S. service members are reporting that their privately owned vehicles have gone missing or been damaged while being shipped to and from overseas bases, according to a newspaper report published Saturday. After months of complaints, the military is sending teams starting this coming week to find the vehicles at supply

chain staging areas across the globe, the Belleville News-Democrat reported. The survey teams are from U.S. Transportation Command, which is run out of Scott Air Force Base in southeastern Illinois and is responsible for air, land and sea transportation for the U.S. Department of Defense. The actual shipping of the vehicles is handled by International Auto Logistics, a Brunswick, Georgia-based company that the command chose to

take over a $1 billion contract. A legal tussle with the previous contractor resulted in a four-month delay in International Auto Logistics starting work. A company spokeswoman blamed the problems on the large number of vehicles the company has been asked to move in a short time period since finally staring work in May. “The volume of vehicles IAL has been requested to

move from storage and ship in the months of June and July, over 36,000, represent the largest volume for those months in the history of the program,” spokeswoman Amanda Nunez told the newspaper in an email. One of those who lodged a complaint about a missing car is retired Air Force officer Michelle Kastler, of New Baden, a few miles from Scott Air Force Base. She’s still waiting for her car.

“It’s ridiculous,” Kastler told the newspaper. “I feel it’s kind of like a betrayed trust.” In preparing to return to Illinois after three years stationed at an Air Force base in Britain, Kastler dropped off her 2012 Hyundai Accent at a British port on May 23. She was promised delivery by July 17. Now, no one has been able to tell her where the car is, or when she can expect to receive it, she said.

U.S. pair charged with Bali murder could face death

BALI, Indonesia – An American couple arrested on the Indonesian resort island of Bali in connection with the slaying of the woman’s mother could be charged with premeditated murder, which carries a maximum penalty of death, police said Saturday. Heather Mack, 19, and her boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, 21, both from Chicago, were arrested in Bali’s Kuta area Wednesday, a day after the body of Sheila von Wiese-Mack was found stuffed inside a suitcase in the trunk of a taxi parked in front of the upscale St. Regis Bali Resort in the island’s exclusive Nusa Dua section. An autopsy Saturday found that von Wiese-Mack, 62, died of asphyxiation from a broken nose bone resulting from a blunt blow, said Ida Bagus Putu Alit, head of forensics at Sanglah Hospital in Bali’s provincial capital of Denpasar. She also suffered from a broken neck, Alit said. Mack and Schaefer were charged with murder on Friday. Col. Djoko Hari Utomo, chief of police for Denpasar, said Saturday that police had enough evidence to charge them with premeditated murder. He reiterated that the couple was still refusing to talk to investigators without the presence of American lawyers. “But that does not hamper our investigation. We have enough evidence, including CCTV and fingerprints,” Utomo said. “And I am inclined to charge them with premeditated murder.” An FBI agent arrived Friday to help with the investigation, including on the couple’s possible involvement in criminal activity in the United States, Utomo said. The autopsy found that breaks in von Wiese-Mack’s neck and nose extended to her upper right and left jaws, causing respiratory disorders, Alit said. It also showed hand wounds suggesting she was trying to fend off an attack.

Girl, 16, shot in head on Chicago’s South Side

CHICAGO – A 16-year-old girl has been fatally shot in the head on Chicago’s South Side. Police said she was shot early Saturday morning in the West Englewood neighborhood. The Chicago Sun-Times reported a 20-year-old man was shot and wounded in the same incident. Other overnight violence claimed the life of a 25-year-old man a block from the Chicago police headquarters late Friday night. According to police, that man was shot in the stomach and died at the scene. The Sun-Times reported that at least seven other people were wounded in shootings since the start of the weekend, when gun violence typically spikes.

The grounds crew from Southern Illinois University had a giant task ahead of them Friday as they worked on landscaping around the life-size statue of Robert Wadlow on the grounds of the SIU School of Dental Medicine on College Avenue in Alton. The crew was installing a variety of new plants around the statue and mulching the site. Robert Pershing Wadlow, often called the Gentle Giant, is the tallest known man in history and stood 8-feet, 11.1 inches at the time of his death in 1940 at age 22.

“We also found blood aspiration, which meant the victim was standing when assaulted,” Alit said. “The conclusion is that the victim suffocated from lack of oxygen because of influx of blood from the broken nose bone.” Alit said von Wiese-Mack was believed to have died Tuesday morning. “The victim was last spotted on CCTV at 3:45 a.m. (Tuesday), and three hours later she called receptionists asking to wake her up at 10 a.m.,” Alit said. “However, she did not respond when awakened.” Meanwhile, Bali’s deputy police chief, Brig. Gen. Gusti Ngurah Raharja Subyakta, said psychological tests showed that there were no psychiatric disorders

with the couple.

Police: Nude man tried to rob Rockford bank

ROCKFORD – Rockford police have arrested a 32-year-old man they say tried to rob a bank while naked. The Rockford Register Star reported police said Ezekial Deanda approached a personal banker on Friday “while completely disrobed.” They say he then demanded money. Police say Deanda fled the lobby area with an unspecified amount of cash. He was later found in the bank’s basement restroom, where he was getting dressed. Deanda is charged with robbery, resisting a police officer and

aggravated battery of a police officer. Police said he struggled with officers briefly and spit on them before he was taken into custody.

Aurora man killed, girlfriend injured in shooting

AURORA – A 20-year-old Aurora man has been killed and his girlfriend injured in a shooting police say was apparently gang-motivated. In a statement, Aurora police spokesman Dan Ferrelli said the shooting occurred early Saturday while the couple sat in the man’s car outside his home. Ferrelli said two men armed with handguns also entered the vehicle. After a brief conversation both men opened fire and then ran from the scene. Nathan Gonzalez was shot in the back of the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. His 20-year-old girlfriend, who was not identified, was shot in one knee and a hand. She was taken to an Aurora hospital with injuries police say were not life-threatening.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Sheriff: Pair may have plotted to kidnap others CANTON, N.Y. – A couple accused of kidnapping two young Amish sisters were prowling for easy targets and may have also planned to abduct other children, a sheriff said Saturday. Stephen Howells Jr. and Nicole Vaisey, both of Hermon, New York, were arrested Friday on charges they snatched the 7-year-old and 12-year-old girls from a roadside farm stand in front of their home near the Canadian border. St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells said at a news conference Saturday that more charges may be filed and that investigators are looking into whether the pair had plotted or carried out other abductions. “We felt that there was the definite potential that there was going to be other victims,” Wells said. Howells and Vaisey were arraigned late Friday on charges of first-degree kidnapping with the intent to physically harm or sexually abuse the victims.

Pope runs late, asks to skip prayers KKOTTOGNAE, South Korea – Pope Francis has long been a stickler for setting aside enough time to pray, getting up at 4:30 a.m. to ensure he isn’t rushed through his daily meditations. But he asked to skip evening vespers on Saturday after he ran behind schedule during a busy day

that saw him celebrate a Mass before about 800,000 people in Seoul and then travel 55 miles of a South Korean community that cares for disabled people. Francis had three meetings scheduled consecutively in the community of Kkottognae, and by the time he hit the second one – a vespers service and speech to some 5,000 nuns – he was running out of time.

Teen gunman deemed not a high threat LITTLETON, Colo. – A teen who fatally shot another student at his suburban Denver high school last year had been deemed “not a high-level of threat” after shouting a death threat against his debate coach three months earlier, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. The disciplinary records show that Karl Pierson, 18, was allowed to return to class in September, less than a week after he was demoted from captain of the debate team and said he would kill the coach. The documents say Pierson showed no remorse for making the threat. Authorities have said Pierson was targeting the debate coach when he entered Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13 with a shotgun, a machete and homemade bombs. Pierson killed a 17-yearold girl before taking his own life in the school library as security officers closed in. The coach escaped unharmed.

Governor declares emergency, says Ferguson to have curfew By DAVID A. LIEB and NIGEL DUARA The Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. – Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew Saturday in a St. Louis suburb where police and protesters have clashed in the week since a black teenager was shot to death by a white police officer. Despite heavy rainfall and lightning, hundreds of protesters gathered Saturday night at a busy thoroughfare that has been the site of previous clashes with police. Dozens of officers, a much more visible presence than the night before, stood watch – including some with shields. In announcing the curfew, Nixon said that though many protesters were making themselves heard peacefully, the state would not allow looters to endanger the community where 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot in a street. The curfew will run from midnight to 5 a.m. Sunday. “I am committed to making sure the forces of peace and justice prevail,” Nixon during at a press conference at a church that was interrupted repeatedly by people objecting to the curfew and demanding that the officer who shot Brown be charged with murder. “We must first have and maintain peace. This is a test. The eyes of the world are watching,” Nixon said. “We cannot allow the ill will of the few to undermine the good will of the many.” State statute gives the governor broad powers when he declares a state of emergency, but he hasn’t indicated that he plans to do anything other than imposing the curfew and empowering the state highway patrol to enforce it.

A man wears buttons Saturday in support of Michael Brown as he visits the site where Brown was shot by a police officer a week ago in Ferguson, Mo. Brown’s shooting in the middle of a street following a suspected robbery of a box of cigars from a nearby market has sparked a week of protests, riots and looting in the St. Louis suburb. ried Saturday night that the curfew might spur anger and more violence. “I think it’s an antagonistic decision to not allow people to express their freedom of speech. It’s an overreaction,” he said. Nixon’s curfew announcement came after tensions again flared in Ferguson late Friday night. Earlier that day, local police identified the officer who shot Brown as Darren Wilson and released documents and video footage alleging that Brown had robbed a convenience store just before he was shot. Police said Wilson was unaware Brown was a suspect when he encountered him walking in the street with a friend. Nixon said the U.S. Department of Justice is beefing up its civil rights investigation of the shooting. Missouri State Highway

Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who is in charge of security in Ferguson, said 40 FBI agents were going door-to-door in the neighborhood starting Saturday, talking to people who might have seen or have information about the shooting. Johnson assured those at the news conference that police would not enforce the curfew with armored trucks and tear gas but would communicate with protesters and give them ample opportunity to leave. Nixon and Johnson were flanked by numerous local elected officials, including U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr., who urged Johnson to be flexible with the midnight curfew. But they were interrupted repeatedly. “Why is the focus on security and not getting justice? Why is there not an arrest?” one women yelled.

Lessons of stigmas, stereotypes in Williams’ death

Texas Gov. Rick Perry delivers a speech Aug. 8 to nearly 300 in attendance at the 2014 RedState Gathering, in Fort Worth, Texas.

Perry says indictment is abuse of power By PAUL J. WEBER The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas – Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry vowed Saturday to fight a criminal indictment in a defiant response that showed an old slice of swagger that he’s kept holstered lately while seeking to remake his image for a potential 2016 presidential run. Perry called two felony counts of abuse of power issued by an Austin grand jury “outrageous” and made no apologies for his 2013 veto that prompted a criminal investigation against the longest-serving governor in Texas history. Perry made it clear he will finish his term that ends in January and said it was the investigation against him – and not his actions – that amounted to an abuse of power. A Travis County grand jury on Friday indicted Perry for carrying out a threat to veto state funds to the local district attorney, an elected Democrat, who refused to resign following a drunken-driving arrest. “We don’t settle political differences with indictments

in this country,” Perry told reporters outside his office in the Texas Capitol. “It is outrageous that someone would use political theatrics to rip away at the very fabric of our state’s constitution.” Perry, the first Texas governor since 1917 to be indicted, again dismissed the charges as nakedly political and said he would not hesitate to execute a veto under the same circumstances again. “The details of my decision-making were very clear. I said early on that I was going to clearly veto those dollars as long as they had someone in that office who I had lost confidence in,” Perry said. “And I had lost confidence.” Perry’s veto cut $7.5 million in funding to the state’s ethics watchdog housed in the Travis County district attorney’s office. A Texas state judge assigned a special prosecutor to investigate the veto following a formal complaint filed by a left-leaning watchdog group, which accused Perry of trying to leverage his power to force the resignation of District Attorney Rosemary

Lehmberg. That unit of public corruption investigators is based in Austin, a liberal haven in mostly conservative Texas and a city that reliably elects Democrats to serve as district attorney. Perry said he was confident that he would prevail and vowed that those responsible for this “farce of a prosecution” would be held accountable. Many Democrats criticized Perry’s aggressive reaction to the indictment and accused him of trying to shift the blame. Yet state Sen. Wendy Davis, the face of the party in Texas who’s running a high-profile campaign for governor, took a more cautious tone Saturday. “The charges that were brought down by the grand jury are very, very serious,” Davis said, adding that she trusted the justice system to do its job. Tensions between Republicans and the public integrity unit have simmered for years. Conservatives have long grumbled that the unit operates through a partisan lens and targets Republicans.

NEW YORK – Jamie Masada, the owner of the fabled Los Angeles-based comedy club the Laugh Factory, vividly remembers a warm exchange with comic Richard Jeni of the two sharing words of encouragement and gentle ribbing. “The next day I heard he put a gun in his mouth and blew his head off,” recalled Masada of Jeni’s 2007 suicide. “At that point I said, ‘God, could I do something to somehow prevent that?’ ” A few years later, having watched his “family” continuously depleted, Masada did do something. He began having a psychologist at the club several nights a week, offering standups the opportunity for free sessions. Robin Williams who committed suicide Monday marked only the latest comic genius to be plagued by demons of depression and addiction. But seldom has the gulf between the bright buoyancy of the performer and the inner pain of the man seemed greater or more unfathomable. How did someone who suffered such demons summon such starbursts of generosity and glee? Like countless others this week, Conan O’Brien remembered Williams’ great capacity for thoughtfulness and kindness. When O’Brien was feeling down during the “Tonight Show” debacle, a bike arrived out of the blue from Williams, outfitted for maximum ridiculousness. Said O’Brien: “It’s particularly courageous for someone to be that generous of spirit in the face of that kind of depression.” Such tales don’t make it any easier to reconcile Williams’ life with his sad fate. The magnitude of the shock over Williams’ death has been matched only by the outpouring of grief for his loss. “I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay,” said his 25-yearold daughter, Zelda Williams. “He was always warm, even in

his darkest moments.” Williams’ publicist has said he had recently fought severe depression. Williams himself had occasionally spoken about his struggles (“Do I get sad? Oh yeah. Does it hit me hard? Oh yeah,” he told Terry Gross in 2006) and funneled his fights with alcoholism and addiction into his act. He largely won his battles with substance abuse except for several relapses quickly followed by rehab, including a stint at Hazelden in Minnesota last month. His widow, Susan Schneider, added Thursday that Williams also was suffering from the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. Those factors – along with his heart surgery several years ago – offer a slightly deeper understanding of Williams’ mental state in recent days and weeks. But his death also reinforces the long-held stereotype of the sad clown, the tortured funnyman. Comedian Jim Norton responded to Williams’ death with an essay titled “Why the Funniest People Are Sometimes the Saddest” in which he noted that in his 25 years of performing stand-up, he knew eight comics who killed themselves. “When I find a comedian I admire, my first thing is: What’s wrong with this person?” Norton said. “Guys that I’ve admired the most always had that cloud. And it wasn’t a purposeful or a pseudo-artist thing. It was a real thing that they were constantly combating. It was kind of a way to keep sadness or depression off of you, to be funny.” Particularly since the likes of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor made stand-up into a more personal kind of truth-telling, many comedians have been drawn to the profession as a means for catharsis. Comedian Tig Notaro pushed stand-up perhaps further in this direction than ever before in a famous set in 2012. Days after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she hit the stage: “Hello. I have cancer. How are you?”

Displaced Iraqis from the Yazidi community settle at the Qandil mountains near the Turkish border outside Zakho, 300 miles northwest of Baghdad, Iraq, Saturday. Islamic extremists shot about 80 Yazidi men to death in Iraq, lining them up in small groups and opening fire with assault rifles before abducting their wives and children, officials and eyewitnesses reported Saturday.

Islamic fighters kill scores of Yazidi men By DIAA HADID and SAMEER N. YACOUB The Associated Press IRBIL, Iraq – Islamic extremists shot scores of Yazidi men to death in Iraq, lining them up in small groups and opening fire with assault rifles before abducting their wives and children, according to an eyewitness, government officials and people who live in the area. A Yazidi lawmaker on Saturday cited the mass killing in Kocho as evidence that his people are still at risk after a week of U.S. and Iraqi airstrikes on the militants. Meanwhile, warplanes targeted insurgents around a large dam that was captured by the Islamic State extremist group earlier this month, nearby residents said. In a statement, U.S. Central Command said the airstrikes Saturday were launched under the authority to support humanitarian efforts in Iraq, as well as to protect U.S. personnel and facilities. Central Command says the nine airstrikes conducted so far had destroyed or damaged

four armored personnel carriers, seven armed vehicles, two Humvees and an armored vehicle. The U.S. began airstrikes against the Islamic State extremist group a week ago, in part to prevent the massacre of tens of thousands of Yazidis in northern Iraq. They fled the militants by scrambling up a barren mountain, where they got stranded. Most were eventually able to escape with help from Kurdish fighters. Islamic State fighters had surrounded the nearby village 12 days ago and demanded that its Yazidi residents convert or die. On Friday afternoon, they moved in. The militants told people to gather in a school, promising they would be allowed to leave Kocho after their details were recorded, said the eyewitness and the brother of the Kocho mayor, Nayef Jassem, who said he obtained his details from another witness. The militants separated the men from the women and children under 12 years old. They took men and male teens away in groups of a few dozen each and shot them on the edge

of the village, according to a wounded man who escaped by feigning death. The fighters then walked among the bodies, using pistols to finish off anyone who appeared to still be alive, the 42-year-old man told The Associated Press by phone from an area where he was hiding. He spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing for his safety. “They thought we were dead, and when they went away, we ran away. We hid in a valley until sundown, and then we fled to the mountains,” he said. A Yazidi lawmaker, a Kurdish security official and an Iraqi official from the nearby city of Sinjar gave similar accounts, saying Islamic State fighters had massacred many Yazidi men Friday after seizing Kocho. All of them said they based their information on the accounts of survivors. Their accounts matched those of two other Yazidi men, Qassim Hussein and Nayef Jassem, who said they spoke to other survivors. It was not clear precisely how many men were killed.

MONROVIA, Liberia – Liberian authorities expanded Ebola treatment centers in the capital Saturday to cope with increasing numbers of patients, while two more airlines announced they were halting flights to the capitals of Liberia and Sierra Leone amid the deepening crisis. Kenya Airways and regional carrier Gambia Bird join a number of other airlines in temporarily cancelling flights to avoid transmitting the disease beyond the four countries already affected in West Africa. The Kenya Airways flights will stop as of midnight Tuesday, said Titus Naikuni, the chief executive officer of Kenya Airways. The decision was made with guidance from the country’s health ministry, Naikuni said. Gambia Bird said it had stopped flying to Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria. “The decision has been taken in the light of international concern about the further spread of the Ebola virus in the West African sub-region, and with the aim of continuing to offer a safe and reliable service to all customers, whilst also protecting the health and well-being of passengers and crew,” the statement said.

Health experts have warned that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa may last another six months. At least 1,145 people have died across Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria, and that may “vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak,” the World Health Organization says. New figures released on Friday showed that Liberia now has recorded more deaths – 413 – than any of the other affected countries. On Saturday, a newly expanded, 34-bed Ebola treatment center was opened at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Medical Center in Monrovia, health officials said. Assistant health minister Tolbert Nyenswah told the Associated Press the new center “will start admitting patients this evening or Monday.” Another treatment center in the southeastern outskirts of Monrovia was expanded from 80 to 120 beds. That center will eventually be further expanded to take 300 patients. Isolating Ebola patients is critical to slowing the spread of the disease, as sick people can transmit it through their bodily fluids such as blood, sweat or urine. There is no licensed treatment or vaccine for the disease, which has killed at least half of its victims this year.

Boeing’s sky-high stocks TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Dear Mr. Berko: I’m considering the purchase of 500 shares of Boeing. I owned the stock in 2010 when it traded at $60 but sold it in April 2013 at $88 and took a nice profit, making a handsome 30 percent. Now I see Boeing at $136, and I’m kicking myself. I think I’d like to buy the stock again and would appreciate your thoughts. My 93-yearold aeronautical engineer father, who has accumulated enough frequent flier miles traveling on 707s and 747s to own one of Boeing’s planes, believes the stock will run to $200 in his lifetime. Please advise me. – GA, Indianapolis Dear GA: Boeing (BA), now trading at $121, makes the 707, the 717, the 727, the 737, the 747, the 757, the 767, the 777, the 787 and the new 797, which is its 1,006-passenger airliner. By making slight changes in seat configuration and eliminating two lavatories in coach class, American, Delta and United will be able to increase seating capacity to 1,352. Now I believe there’s an 807 on the drawing board to carry 1,750 passengers and powered by a nuclear engine. It seems the lucky number 7 is also a lucky number for Boeing. In addition to commercial passenger aircraft, this $90 billion-revenue company with 169,007 employees is hugely involved in the research, design, development, production, modification and sales of hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of various missiles, defense

and intelligence systems, warfare electronics, training systems, manned and unmanned military aircraft, and weapons systems for global strike and surveillance and engagement activities. During the past decade, BA’s revenues have nearly doubled; earnings have grown fivefold (Oppenheimer predicts $6.60 this year); and its dividend has tripled. This 99-year-old company has a backlog of $453 billion, which is about five years’ worth of future revenues. And those revenues are expected to rise about 8 percent annually. Meanwhile, improving profit margins could increase earnings even more, and the dividend should grow faster than both revenues and earnings. Credit Suisse, Reuters, Argus Research, Standard & Poor’s, Value Line, Merrill Lynch and UBS are bullish on Boeing, and the consensus suggests a stock price of $180 in the coming three to four years. Solid proof of this pudding is the 100-plus million shares of Boeing owned by Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street and T. Rowe Price. Because I’m an optimist, I didn’t like BA in 2004 when it traded at $56. I didn’t like BA in 2007 when it traded at $100 or in 2011 when it traded at $56 again. And I didn’t like BA last year at $140. I have always been gravely concerned that peace will break out all over; a peaceful turbulence might force BA shares to nosedive, causing investors to become airsick. Our economy can’t afford peace. Even with its tremendous backlog, if BA stopped producing F-15s, F/A-18s,

CH-47s, AH-64s, C-17s, guided weapons systems and other big-boy toys, the dividend would be slashed, and the share price would collapse. However, I think your 93-year-old dad’s $200 price objective is right, even though statistics suggest that he doesn’t have much more time. Military contracts are growing like wildflowers, and military margins are (including the delicious profits from intentional cost overruns) increasingly lucrative. So buy the stock, but place a goodtill-canceled open-stop order at $101, which will give you a 3 percent yield. War is more profitable than peace, and fortunately, BA has many an influential congressman on its slush-rolls. Because your 93-yearold dad has a mountain of frequent flier miles, here’s some advice you haven’t asked for. Airlines are creating new rules to make it almost impossible to bequeath FFMs to heirs, contending that FFMs are not assets but rather “nontransferable perks.” Airlines make the rules, but there’s a way around them. When your dad passes (may he live to be 100 plus one year to repent), don’t notify the airlines. Keep a copy of your dad’s username and password so you can access the account for his miles and other benefits just as he would. The tickets can be issued in anyone’s name when the miles are redeemed. So buy the stock and have a good flight.

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Authors’ ideas may help new RTA head State Sen. Kirk Dillard, a Republican from Hinsdale, stepped down from the Senate the other day. We normally object when a legislator quits in midterm for no good reason. However, Dillard had a good reason. He has accepted the chairmanship of the Chicago area’s Regional Transportation Authority, which provides financial oversight for the Chicago Transit Authority, Metra commuter rail and Pace bus service. Dillard, 59, is best known for his strong showings as a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor during the past two election cycles. In 2010, Dillard lost the primary by only a few thousand votes to state Sen. Bill Brady, who went on to lose to Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. This past March, Dillard put up a strong fight against businessman Bruce Rauner before falling short in the GOP primary. Dillard already has ideas for improving mass transportation in the Chicago area. For example, he wants to establish one “seamless” system of payment for all riders, so they don’t have to pay to access different parts of the transit system in different ways. We encourage Dillard to consider ideas from other sources, such as the authors of “Fixing Illinois: Politics and Policy in the Prairie State,” which was published in May. In the chapter titled “Transportation: Maintaining Our Greatest Strength,” Jim Nowlan and Tom Johnson direct their attention toward the Regional Transportation

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Authority, which Dillard now heads. The problem for the RTA, they write, is that a competing agency – the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning – also has responsibility for transportation planning. So you’ve got two agencies essentially trying to do the same job. That’s not an unusual situation in Illinois, where multiple layers of government add up to the state having the most local governmental units – 6,963 – of any state in the nation. Nowlan and Johnson support a proposal by Metropolis Strategies, a civic group, that the RTA merge with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning to improve overall planning and decision making. That’s No. 58 on their list of 98 proposals to change the workings of government in Illinois for the better. Nowlan and Johnson also believe the Illinois Department of Transportation should create a Freight Division to mitigate rail and trucking congestion. They call for an end of the practice of diverting transportation-related state revenues to general government purposes. And they call for a review of how repairs, maintenance and construction of the state’s transportation infrastructure are financed. “Fixing Illinois” also proposes reforms in the areas of state budgeting, education, human services, health care, economic development, re-engineering government and fighting corruption. As Dillard takes on his new leadership duties, he would be wise to keep in mind the sound proposals put forth by Nowlan and Johnson.

Trying to gather honey from the hornet’s nest When U.S. President George W. Bush visited Iraq at the end of his term, his thanks was a popular Middle East insult – a shoe hurled at him. Iraq President Nouri al-Maliki – whose job was made possible by the United States and who once pretended to sign an agreement Bush had just signed, but instead moved his pen in the air – demanded a U.S. withdrawal. American military commanders had told Bush a military solution to Iraq’s continuing violence was not possible – a political solution was a necessity. Next, Barack Obama took office. Again, military commanders in both Iraq and Afghanistan told him military solutions had been exhausted. Our country has been at war for 13 years. We suffered

VIEWS Donna Brazile a major attack on our soil, engaged in two wars at once (adding Libya to the mix), suffered the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression, and strained our volunteer soldiers (the world’s strongest, finest, military) with exhausting, repetitive military tours. Obama has been criticized for not having a Middle East foreign policy. In fact, his policy is to selectively engage militarily when national security interests are at stake, or when humanitarian needs demand it. Obama has been transparent and clear that the current

U.S. military engagement in Iraq is to prevent the genocide of Christian, Muslim and non-Muslim minorities. He is emphatic he will not put troops on the ground to engage ISIS, the radical-Islamist organization so extreme that Al-Qaeda booted it out. What then, is our mission in Iraq? What should we expect? Our mission is to press Iraq to fix the problem that has caused the near-collapse of its government. That problem is the government’s exclusion of Iraqi groups, like the Sunnis, from self-government. Much of the criticism of the president’s policy (left and right) comes from what I’d call foreign policy

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.

by the Americans. Mosul’s governor and three generals fled ISIS without a fight, by plane at night. Soldiers awoke the to find lower-level commanders in civilian clothes and flipflops. Chaos ensued, and as in other cities, they stripped their uniforms, leaving them in the streets, and fled. Who can fight without a command structure? The Sunni tribe militias outnumber ISIS by anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000 fighters. Yet they are pragmatically arms-length allies of ISIS. To underscore the complexity of the politics, the PKK, an effective fighting force of Turkish Kurds taking refuge from their government in Iraq are the ones who retook cities from ISIS. They are a U.S. designated terrorist organization. Then again, Nelson Mandela was once on a U.S. terrorist list. Obama has shown steely nerve in all this, refusing to commit any military aid to the Iraqi government until it corrects the problems that permitted the rise of ISIS. The pressure on Obama must have

been immense, but it paid off. In the past week, a new Iraqi leader has been elected, and behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts resulted in the collapse of Maliki’s support in Iraq’s parliament. ISIS may require an international military response as suggested by Hussein Ibish, a senior fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine. However, even the limited military strikes that Obama ordered to rescue Christian and Yazidi minorities have lifted the status of ISIS. We’re in a dangerous paradox, where greater military response will increase the allure of an organization that runs local governments efficiently while the heads of religious minorities dot their cities’ curbs.

“one-notes.” They harp on Obama’s cautious approach in Syria and Iraq as allowing ISIS to gain strength, as if nothing else were at play. They make the error of assuming that the U.S. can militarily control the Middle East. These Johnny-one-notes are like the sightless man who felt only the elephant’s tail and concluded the beast was a snake hanging from a tree. Middle East politics are almost as complex as a Rubik’s cube, involving dozens of shifting alliances among ethnic and religious groups. The U.S. is not a military robot-policeman that needs only raise its visor to zap out the “bad guys.” We actually believe in democracy, and have offered advice and persuasion to Maliki, who turned down or resisted most of it. Iraq’s being confronted by ISIS, a military force estimated

only between 8,000 to 20,000, is primarily a result of Maliki’s exclusionary actions and suppressions. The growth of ISIS did not happen in a vacuum. The New York Times interviewed a street vendor in Maliki’s neighborhood. “We haven’t gotten anything from Maliki except destruction, sectarian violence and murders,” he said. Counter-terrorism experts are near unanimous in the belief that inequality in government is a surefire recipe for a revolution. Well, they’ve got one. Maliki has allowed ISIS to be active in Iraqi cities since 2009. They were in Mosul, the first city to fall, and effectively ran the show though the Iraqi Army was present. It is a myth that ISIS is funded by wealthy Middle East patrons. It makes most of its money by plundering the incomes of minorities, and with “taxes” on the population. Maliki’s army was corrupt at the top, and this betrayed the soldiers, some of whom fought with and were trained

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Players’ different skill sets, strengths making picking a starter more difficult By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, August 17, 2014

JOLIET – Football coaches can usually expect to see a few good battles for positions when they open up camp. But what they don’t anticipate is a three-way competition for a spot, especially when it concerns who will be the team’s starting quarterback. However, that’s the case facing coach Joe Curry and his staff at the University of St. Francis as the 2014 campaign draws near. Senior Ryne Van Gennep and juniors Trace Wanless and Mitch Brozovich are all in the thick of things to determine who will be under center when the 20th-ranked Saints kick off their season Sept. 6 against Olivet Nazarene at Memorial Stadium. Van Gennep, a Lincoln-Way East graduate, has been at USF throughout his five-year career, Wanless, from Glenbard South, is in his third season after transferring from Saint Xavier and Brozovich, a Minooka graduate, is new after transferring from Minnesota State. It’s a far cry from recent years where the Saints relied heavily on E.J. White to lead the way. During the past four years, White threw for more than 10,000 yards and accounted for 96 percent of the 1,400plus passes USF attempted. “The bottom line is that we’re going to be pretty darn good at the quarterback position,” Curry said. “Pretty much what we’ve been doing in camp is circling the three of them in with our starting units and trying to grade them and figure out who’s the best guy. They’ve been competing every single day and know that if they have a bad practice, they move down the depth chart. So that competition has made our football team a ton better. “This is a problem that we haven’t had here. We had John Goolsby and E.J. White, who were both our guy. Now we’re in a situation where it’s ‘Who’s next?’ You can’t replace an

USF benefits from QB competition

University of St. Francis quarterback Ryne Van Gennep looks to pass during a drill at practice Friday at Joliet Memorial Stadium in Joliet. E.J. White, but I don’t know if there’s going to be much of a dropoff when you see us play quarterback. This is the first time since I’ve been here that we had this type of a situation at any position. At the NAIA level, you don’t have three quality guys at the same spot. “They all bring us something different. Ryne is very smart and puts the ball where we want him to. Trace has a great arm and makes a ton of plays, like he did last year for us at receiver. And Mitch is great in the run game and throws the ball okay and is right there. I think the thing that determines who wins the job is which one does not turn the football over because that’s going to make our team better and give us a chance to win games.” For their part, the trio is excited about the competition and believe, like their coach,

“The bottom line is that we’re going to be pretty darn good at the quarterback position.” Joe Curry University of St. Francis football coach that the unusual situation will only make the Saints better. “With everything up for grabs this year, it makes it fun,” said Van Gennep. “Once E.J. left, we all knew that the spot was up for grabs. E.J. was a great quarterback and I had the pleasure of backing him up for four years, so I got to know the offense. “At the end of the day when we’re at meetings we’re friends but when we’re on the field it’s business and we all understand that. The expectations for this year are high but

they’re not overwhelming. We want to have fun, get after it and be the best team that we can be.” Wanless caught 48 passes for 494 yards and had five touchdowns, thanks to hookups with White a year ago, to earn all-conference honors. Now he hopes to throw to returning All-American Troy Torrence, who like him, started his career at Saint Xavier. “It’s a competition so we want to bring out the best in each person,” Wanless said. “The person that wins this competition is the one that people are going to follow, so the starting position has to be earned. They’re both great guys and we’re all trying to win the position. “We all have different skills which will benefit the team and whoever wins the position will do great. I got elected as a captain, so watching this team

jell is good. This team is closer than it’s ever been. We’re so passionate because we know that we can do great things.” Beside competing for the quarterback spot, Brozovich is just happy to be playing a whole lot closer to his family and friends. “This is very unusual and it’s probably the only position on our team where three guys are battling it out,” Brozovich said. “You only get limited chances in practice so you have to make them count and if you don’t, then you’re kind of out of luck. “All three of us are decent athletes so they can pretty much stick us anywhere on the field. I missed my family quite a bit being seven hours away. I like how on the field it’s a battle but off the field we’re friends. And I like the camaraderie of the players and coaches.”

MAN IN THE MIDDLE USF linebacker anchors Saints’ 3-3-5 defense By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When Mike Passo walks down the sidewalk, it is likely nobody says, “Now there’s a middle linebacker.” Yet, that’s what he is, a leader in the middle of the University of St. Francis’ 3-3-5 stack defense. A Joliet Catholic graduate, Passo is entering his junior season at USF. He is listed on the Saints’ roster at 6-foot-1inch, 190 pounds. A year ago, he was listed at 180. “Mike is bigger and thicker now than he was last year,” coach Joe Curry said. “He’s worked hard. He was 175 to 180 pounds last year and now he’s almost 200. “Of course, we here at St. Francis never have had the 6-2, 240-pound linebackers, We get the smaller, skinnier kids who get places and make plays. Our linebackers have to be able to get 25 yards downfield and be able to run. We can’t have 250-pound guys trying to cover down the middle of the field.” Passo indeed fits the mold of a Saints linebacker. He led the team in tackles last season, making 39 solo stops, and had 55 assists for 94 total. He also recorded 11 tackles for loss, made five sacks, had an interception and returned a fumble recovery 68 yards for a touchdown. “Our defense is designed for a speed linebacker,” Passo said. “Every once in a while I can get free and scrape over the top. I love it.” Last season was Passo’s first as a starter. He rotated in every three series most of his freshman year, when he also starred on special teams. He said he will miss playing alongside fellow JCA graduate Josh Mander, a linebacker whose eligibility was up after last season. “Mander was a big loss

University of St. Francis linebacker Mike Passo returns to the field Friday after a break during practice at Joliet Memorial Stadium in Joliet.

Passo keeps his eyes on the quarterback during a drill at practice Friday. for our defense,” Passo said. “He was the one who always ready for anything and always backed me up. “Last year I looked up to him. This year I’m taking on that role.” With Passo and red-shirt junior Jamal Graham, also a returning regular, filling key linebacker slots, the Saints’ defense indeed could be formi-

dable. Last season, when USF finished 7-4, the offense averaged 30.7 points and 468.3 yards a game while the defense yielded 24.4 points and 341.7 yards. “I think our defense will be just as good or maybe better this year,” Passo said. A transfer who could help make that happen is Passo’s high school teammate, cornerback Breion Tucker, who has

transferred back home after beginning his college career at St. Francis of Indiana. “It’s good to see Breion here,” Passo said. “We’re trying to get [former Hilltopper] Andrew Elliott here, too. The more JCA guys we can get, the better.” Passo said that while he had a good season last year, when he was a Mid-States Football Association Mideast League second-team selection, the ending was a bitter pill to swallow. USF dropped a 30-20 decision to Taylor (Indiana) and settled for second place in the conference. As a senior at JCA in 2011, Passo perhaps was the best player on the Hilltoppers’ defense that faced Montini in the unforgettable Class 5A state championship game, the 70-45 defeat. Passo had missed most of the playoffs with a high ankle sprain and tested it in the title game, but lasted only a handful of plays. “It was all offense that day,” he said. “It was crazy, and dis-

appointing. “That was almost the same feeling as it was for us here last year. We went that far and were one game away from where we wanted to be. It was total disappointment for all of us.” There is a silver lining, however. Passo has two more years to help the Saints achieve their goals. The Saints’ season begins at 4 p.m. Sept. 6 when USF entertains Olivet Nazarene at Memorial Stadium. “I’m still only a junior so I still have a lot of time,” Passo said. “It was good I was able to start last year. Now I’m able to help other guys with their calls. The end last year was disappointing, but we can learn from it and move on.” “I knew when I saw [Passo] as a true freshman that he was going to be something special,” Curry said. “He’s playing the spot in our defense that [Morris graduate] Drew Tondini used to be in, and he’s playing it very well.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Transfer finding his place at University of St. Francis JOLIET – Breion Tucker is one-third of the triplets who were so prominent in Joliet Catholic athletics a few years ago. He began his college football career in the defensive backfield at St. Francis of Indiana. Meanwhile, his brothers, Brequan and Breshion, enrolled at Jamestown, North Dakota, and played basketball. Now, two-thirds of the Tuckers are back home and ready to wear the colors of the University of St. Francis. While Breshion is joining the Saints’ basketball team and Breion, a sophomore, is in line for a starting cornerback spot on the football field this fall. The Saints open the season Sept. 6 when they host Olivet Nazarene at Memorial Stadium in Joliet. “Breion had a great summer,” USF coach Joe Curry said. “He has stepped in and done a great job. It was good for him to be here a year and not play and spend that time learning the system. “Now, it’s like we have a veteran out there. That’s good. We had three freshmen cornerbacks last year.” Tucker and sophomore Donte Cobb have been working the first unit at practice. “St. Francis of Indiana has a good program,” Curry said of the team being selected in the league’s preseason vote to repeat as Mid-States Football Association Mideast League champion, while the Saints were picked for second. “Breion was taught well there. They value academics like we do. At this point, everything has been seamless for him.” Tucker said he decided to transfer to the local St. Francis to be close to family and friends. “I came into a situation where I sat out a year,” he said. “That was good for me to get

settled in and learn the system. I was here for spring ball. I have learned coverages better since I’ve gotten here and I think I’m mentally smarter.” Tucker said he likes being on a team with a high school teammate, linebacker Mike Passo, along with twins John and Sheldon Magee, Plainfield South graduates he has known since they were kids. In fact, Tucker often lines up in practice against Sheldon

Magee, who likely will start at a receiver spot. “I’m always matched up against Magee or [Troy] Torrence,” Tucker said. “They’re great receivers. I enjoy it. They make us all better DBs.” Tucker was timed at 4.5 seconds in the 40 in high school. He intercepted 12 passes over his final two seasons at JCA and earned postseason accolades, especially as a senior. He said USF has “one of

the best defensive lines in the country. With [linebackers] Jamal [Graham] and Mike [Passo] behind them, they’ll get pressure and it will help us in coverage. “Our conference is like the SEC of the NAIA. Everyone runs some sort of spread, so it will be challenging.” Tucker, who said he probably will be on all the Saints’ special teams except kickoff return, arrived at St. Francis of Indiana as a potential cornerback or safety. “When they watched me a little, they said I’m a corner,” he said. “I have a good chance to be with the 1s here.” Tucker admits camp has left him “a little sore,” but he’s

not concerned. “I’m getting older,” he said with a smile. “But that’s what a training room is for. That’s what being in competition is all about.” As for basketball, he pretty much is leaving that to his brothers. “I shoot around with my brother once in a while, but that’s about it,” he said. His focus is on football. He intends to add his name to the list of transfers who have made a significant difference with the USF program. “It’s been pretty nice so far,” he said. “I feel welcome on this defense and this team. I want to earn a spot, help us win a lot and make the playoffs.”

Lockport stadium gets turf upgrade Officials expect several organizations to benefit from field improvements By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – There haven’t been that many significant changes in the athletic facilities at Lockport Township during the school’s 100-plus year existence. But nearly 40 years after a new stadium at East campus replaced the football field and track at the Athletic Field and almost a decade after boys basketball was last played at the Central gym, the Porters are in for a new look that will benefit more than just athletics. Fans who attend Friday’s Maroon and White football scrimmage at the stadium will get to see the new turf surface and the rebuilt track that have been completed in recent weeks. But while the new facility’s debut will feature football, the real reason for the change in surfaces involves much more than the most popular sport at the site, according to Porters’ athletic director Brian Goff. “Actually when we talked about putting in the turf, football was kind of fourth or fifth on my list,” Goff said. “It’s going to help us out in the spring by having teams practicing outside earlier, which opens up our fieldhouse to inside sports, which is nice. And obviously, the band is going to get a lot of use out of the new field. “We have a great soccer facility on grass, but we could never host a regional due to lights, but now we can host a soccer regional, fall or spring. And that’s just for athletics. We still have use for physical education classes and we’re still working out some of the logistics for use by people in the community. The new field will have all kinds of uses.” While there’s obviously a high price for the initial installation this type of a surface, that’s balanced out by the regular upkeep that was required after the grass field was damaged following a game on a rainy evening. “Everywhere that I’ve been,

I don’t Brian Goff know if you’ll actually save or Lockport athletic director make money by doing this, but you definitely eliminate the risk of ruining a field for mulWest Suburban Conference tiple games or seasons.” Lockport joins most of the that have similar fields. Only other schools in the South- a handful of large programs

in the area still play games on grass. But more importantly, the Porters have the opportunity, especially during the hectic spring season, to free up some of the practice logjam that takes place indoors. And many who had no access to the field can now get the opportunity to finally utilize it. “Right now in the spring, we have baseball, softball and soccer practicing in the fieldhouse, which is not conducive to them,” Goff said. “But if it’s cool and dry outside, they can be out on the field. Right now, teams are practicing to almost 10 o’clock at night in the fieldhouse. But now if we can get some kids outside, it opens things up and kids can get home earlier.

“The band already has a lined field, but it’s not fullsized so this will give them more space. This was also the cycle where the track was going to be redone, so it worked out perfectly since the track gets torn up in the process of putting in the new field. I know that people in the community are waiting to use the field and I appreciate their patience. “For the cost, you get twice the amount, or more, use out of the field. When you look at what we were paying while using the field five times, it doesn’t make sense when you can use it almost every day, especially for physical education. The field looks great, it’s going to help us out a ton and it puts us on a level playing field with other schools.”

26-year-old surprisingly emerges in preseason as viable option By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com

• Sunday, August 17, 2014

CHICAGO – The April 23 signing seemed like nothing more than the addition of a veteran body to a competition at running back behind Matt Forte. Now, through two preseason games, Shaun Draughn has emerged as the Bears’ current No. 2 running back. The 26-year-old has bounced around enough to know not to take that for granted, however. “Job for me to lose? I don’t have it, so there’s nothing to lose,” Draughn said after the Bears’ 20-19 preseason win Thursday over Jacksonville. The fact that the Bears have struggled to get going on the ground has been a talking point, but Draughn was a bright spot, carrying the ball three times for 33 yards and catching two passes for 12 yards. “I thought he did well,” Bears coach Marc Trestman said. “He’s really done good in the pass-catching department. He’s shown good running skills and he’s practiced well.” Last year with the Ravens, Draughn appeared in three games. He had four carries for 2 yards. The Bears may not have taken much from 2013 tape, but in 2012, Draughn appeared in all 16 games for the Chiefs. He had 59 carries for 233 yards and two scores to go along with 24 catches for 158 yards. That’s the player we’ve seen since minicamp; and in Bourbonnais, Draughn passed up second-year back Michael Ford and fourth-round pick Ka’Deem Carey on the depth chart. Draughn has two qualities that have helped his cause. First, his experience, compared to four other running backs with a combined zero NFL carries. “He’s not a rookie, so when he showed up and we got to work with him in the OTAs, I thought he caught on quick

Bears running back Shaun Draughn (middle) rushes against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the first half of a preseason game Thursday at Soldier Field.

“We clicked as soon as I got here. We’ve been tight ever since. We talk every day about how I wasn’t playing before but then I came here and they really gave me a chance. I talked to [Matt Forte] before, that’s all I really wanted, a fair opportunity. He took me under his wing, he’s not too much older than me, but he’s a great guy.” Shaun Draughn, Bears running back on his time with Matt Forte to what we were trying to do,” Bears running backs coach Skip Peete said. “He seems very comfortable in running routes, and as a runner, seems very comfortable, and doesn’t have a lot of nervous tension that some guys new to a situation would have.” The route running is part of Draughn’s second key attribute, his receiving abilities. He noticed how the Bears used

Forte as a receiver last season (74 catches), and can provide more than the four catches last year’s backup, Michael Bush, contributed. “When [the Bears] called me, I immediately thought about that,” Draughn said about how the Bears use backs in their passing game, then comparing his dual-threat abilities to Forte. “We’re sort of one in the

same, we’ve got our different styles, but the way they line us up at different positions, at wide receiver or split us out in empty, and allow us to actually catch the ball, I feel like that’s a strength that I can definitely help and if something went down, I could definitely step in and help out.” Draughn has a more similar build (6 feet, 205 pounds) to Forte than the other backs,

in addition to their style of play, and Draughn smiled and pointed to the locker next to him at Soldier Field, Forte’s, when asked about how they’ve gelled. “We clicked as soon as I got here. We’ve been tight ever since. We talk every day about how I wasn’t playing before but then I came here and they really gave me a chance,” he said. “I talked to him before, that’s all I really wanted, a fair opportunity. He took me under his wing, he’s not too much older than me, but he’s a great guy.” That camaraderie they’ve built may be more than just summer bonding the way Draughn has positioned himself to come out of nowhere to be the Bears’ No. 2 running back.

By BRIAN SANDALOW For Sun-Times Media ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – After everything Hardest Core has been through, winning the Arlington Million as an 11-1 long shot Saturday isn’t the biggest upset the gelding has pulled off. The horse was bought in November at the Keeneland Sales for $210,000 and was sent to be castrated. After the castration, Hardest Core was sent out into the field a day later where he was found lying on the ground with his intestines coming out after having a problem with the surgery. Trainer Edward Graham was able to get the horse into a trailer and eventually got him treated and another procedure, when he lost 18 feet of intestine but survived. After the ordeal, Hardest Core started training in February and returned to action this summer. He won two lower-level races before coming to Ar-

Graham’s choice of the Million paid off, as jockey Eriluis Vaz rode Hardest Core to a one-length win over Magician in 2:01.51. Side Glance came in third, and defending-champion Real Solution finished last in the seven-horse field. “Nothing bothers him. He’s just pure class,” Graham said. “He just gets the job done. He thinks he’s the boss.” Few others expected him to

be the boss. Although the field equaled the shortest in Million history, there were horses with stronger pedigrees. Magician was the winner of last year’s Breeders’ Cup turf race, and Real Solution was trying to repeat as Million champion. But somewhat surprisingly, the defending champ didn’t pose much of a challenge in the 11⁄4-mile turf race for 3-year-olds and up. “I had a beautiful trip,” jockey Javier Castellano said. “Un-

fortunately, he didn’t show up today.” Hardest Core, meanwhile, had never been in a graded-stakes race but showed up Saturday when he had to. He never led until the final portion of the race and trailed into the final straight. But in that straight, Hardest Core surged from third and into the winner’s circle, making Vaz realize he “had a lot of horse.” “He’s a good horse. He’s a nice horse,” Vaz said. “I knew he was going to make his run.” That victorious run also continued to vindicate a decision made about the horse last year. When he was first bought for Andrew Bentley Stables there was some consideration to entering Hardest Core into steeplechase instead. But Graham saw that Hardest Core’s future didn’t have to be in leaping. “He’s been brilliant,” Graham said. “Glad we stuck to the flat racing.”

Buescher hangs on to win Nationwide at Mid-Ohio By RUSTY MILLER The Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ohio – As the laps dwindled, Chris Buescher’s anxiety rose. The 21-year-old rookie was leading the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course – gunning for his first victory – but was running out of fuel. “I was really focusing on taking deep breaths at that point,” Buescher said about the final laps before he hung on to capture the Nationwide Children’s Hospital 200 on Saturday for his first victory. “I found myself on every straightaway just telling myself to relax a little bit.” Buescher took the lead on the 68th of 90 laps and sipped fuel the rest of the way to hold off Regan Smith and Brian Scott. Smith, in particular, was waiting for Buescher to run out

of gas. “I was surprised that he made it,” he said. “I didn’t have much more for him there at the end. I was sitting there watching him, thinking at any point he was going to run out.” Buescher, driving the Roush Fenway Racing Ford sponsored by – fittingly – Nationwide Children’s Hospital in nearby Columbus, took the lead from Brendan Gaughan and weathered a restart to hold on the rest of the way. “We do have a fuel-pressure gauge in the car and I think it was with two [laps] to go it started flashing at me,” Buescher said. “On certain areas of the track, [the car] was just starving for fuel. I spent the last lap just kind of shaking [the car] back and forth a little bit to make sure we got all the fuel we could into the pickup. It was nerve wracking to say the least.”

Blue Jays rally, beat White Sox

Slammers stumble against Freedom

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press CHICAGO – Melky Cabrera’s two-run double in the seventh inning lifted the Toronto Blue Jays to a 6-3 victory over the White Sox on Saturday night. The Blue Jays, who snapped a four-game losing streak, scored three runs in the seventh to retake the lead after the White Sox tied it with three runs in the sixth. Avisail Garcia went 2 for 4 with a double for the White Sox in his first game since April 9 after recovering from shoulder surgery. Brett Cecil (1-3) got two outs – both by strikeout – to earn the win. Casey Janssen worked one inning to earn his 19th save in 22 opportunities. Former White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle allowed three runs in 5 2⁄ 3 innings in his

first start as a Chicago visitor and third game against his former team. He has one victory in his last 13 starts. The Blue Jays allowed Buehrle to take the field alone before the bottom of the first, and fans gave him a standing ovation. While with the Sox from 2000-11, he threw a perfect game July 23, 2009, against Tampa Bay, and a no-hitter April 18, 2007, against Texas. The Blue Jays took a 2-0 lead on Dioner Navarro’s sacrifice fly and Nolan Reimold’s RBI single in the second. Toronto extended the lead to 3-0 in the fifth on Jose Reyes’ RBI single. The White Sox tied it with three runs in the sixth. Garcia singled off the right-field fence to drive in Gordon Beckham from second to cut the lead to 3-1. With runners on first and second, Dustin McGowan replaced Buehrle.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Wilmer Flores provided a spark with his bat and glove, leading Jonathon Niese and the New York Mets to a 7-3 victory over the Cubs on Saturday night. Juan Lagares drove in two runs and reliever Vic Black escaped a major jam unscathed to keep New York in control after Niese exited. Star third baseman David Wright also was removed in the seventh, one inning after he was hit in the upper back by an 88 mph fastball from Dan Straily. The Mets, outhit 7-4, said Wright was lifted with a sore

left shoulder. The 23-year-old Flores, a touted hitting prospect trying to show he can play an adequate shortstop in the majors, followed Lagares’ RBI double with a two-run single in the second. Flores also made a diving stop and another difficult play in the hole to prevent base hits. He turned a pair of double plays, including one that got Niese (7-8) out of a bases-loaded jam after the Cubs’ first two batters reached on errors. Welington Castillo and Justin Ruggiano each hit a solo homer for the last-place Cubs, who have lost three straight.

Offense struggles to produce runs SUBMITTED REPORTS FLORENCE, Ky. – The visiting Joliet Slammers had difficulty scoring runs and dropped the first two games of this weekend’s series against the Florence Freedom in Frontier League action. John Maloney became the Slammers’ 19th starting pitcher for 2014 in Saturday night’s 6-2 loss. That followed a 4-1 setback Friday night in the series opener. Maloney gave up two runs in the first inning on Rob Kelly’s two-run single. Joliet scored in the third on Grant DeBruin’s RBI grounder, but Florence scored twice in the bottom of the inning for a 4-1 lead. JD Dorgan’s RBI grounder in the fourth made it 4-2. Kody McFarland relieved Maloney in the fourth and gave up a solo homer to Rolando Gomez in that inning and a sacrifice fly to Gomez in the sixth to make it 6-2. Florence starter Peter Gehle gave up several line drives but the defense was up to the challenge. At one point he retired seven in a row and went the first 71⁄3 innings before Ed Kohout came on to

finish the game. McFarland pitched the final five innings for Joliet and struck out two while walking one. DeBruin finished with two hits and an RBI, his 49th of the season. Chris Epps had reached base in 10 straight games coming in, but finished 0 for 4. In Friday’s game, DeBruin delivered an RBI single in the first inning for a 1-0 lead, but the Slammers were blanked after that. In the bottom of the first, Jacob Tanis slugged a twoout, two-run homer off Joliet starter Andrew Strange for a 2-1 lead the Freedom would never relinquish. Freedom starter Casey Henn allowed two hits in the first inning when Joliet scored, but after that went six more innings and did not allow a single hit. Max Casper’s ninth-inning single was Joliet’s first hit since the first inning. The Slammers finish the series against the Freedom at 4:05 p.m. Sunday in Florence, Kentucky. Joliet then returns home to play Rockford in a three-game set that begins with a $2 dollar Tuesday promotion.

Student develops passion for working with developmentally disabled By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

wo years ago, Kate Klodnicki of Plainfield was working part time at a Dairy Queen and cheerleading at Plainfield South High School. But for the past two summers, this 20-year-old student at Western Illinois University studying social work has worked at Wisconsin Badger Camp in Wisconsin, which gives any person with a developmental disability the opportunity to enjoy outdoor experiences in a natural environment and socially supportive setting, according to its website, www.badgercamp.org. Klodnicki imagine spending her time in any other way. She loves her job, the camp and – most importantly – the campers. “I can’t describe the connection I have made with these campers. They stories they have shared are amazing. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to that,” Klodnicki said. “I just want people to realize that people with disabilities are often treated as or thought of as different when they are not.” Klodnicki said Western Illinois University hosts a yearly camp expo, which is how she heard about Wisconsin Badger Camp. The purpose of the expo is for camps to offer summer employment opportunities to college and university students, Klodnicki said. She had never attended one and did so on a whim. While browsing, Klodnicki saw several camps that interested her, including one camp that served inner city youth. Because her goal is a career in social work, Klodnicki said she thought the extra experience would benefit her. When she came across Wisconsin Badger Camp, Klodnicki knew she had found the one for her, even though she had no previous experience with special needs adults, she said. “I’m very compassionate, empathetic and understanding,” Klodnicki said. “I know it takes a special person to work with people with disabilities. These

This meant that every week, she took charge of two to three campers for a week. Because campers attended for one week, every seven days, Klodnic-

ki cared for another couple of campers. “We did have a kids week,” Klodnicki said, “so my youngest camper was 4 [years old] and my oldest was probably in their 80s.” Depending on the camper’s level of function, Klodnicki helped them

through every level of camp, including pool time, fishing and at music recreation. Personal care could include everything from bathing to dressing to toileting. Flexibility was key. “I helped them adapt to camp and to make sure they were still able to do the activities, even if we had to change things up a little bit,” Klodnicki said. This year, Klodnicki felt ready for a leadership position and returned to Wisconsin Badger Camp as the female coordinator. She arrived May 28 for leadership staff training and then spent the next week training her counselors. Camp runs for 10 weeks, she said. Klodnicki oversees approximately 15 to 20 counselors, age 18 to 24, and does everything from place them with campers to monitoring activities, even assisting with them if necessary. “My happiness comes from making other people happy,” Klodnicki said. Downtime is from 4 p.m. Fridays when the campers return home until 10 a.m. Sunday mornings, when the new campers arrive. Part of Klodnicki’s time off is spent transporting the counselors – who hail from all over the world, she said – in a camp van to places like the Dells. Klodnicki’s last day at camp was Aug. 16. “I’ll be home one day,” Klodnicki said, “and then it’s back to Western.” For all of Klodnicki’s altruism, she had entered Western Illinois University with an undeclared major. She had considered nursing and teaching; a friend suggested social work. Klodnicki took the introductory course and knew she’d found her niche. She has one more academic semester to complete and then it’s on to an internship for the spring semester, hopefully in a hospital setting, Klodnicki said, since her goal is to be a hospital social worker and work with patients with traumatic brain injuries. “Their lives are changed and a lot of these people need help getting back on track,” Klodnicki said. “They need a lot of planning to help them be as independent as they can be.”

I can’t describe the connection I have made with these campers. They stories they have shared are amazing. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to that. I just want people to realize that people with disabilities are often treated as or thought of as different when they are not.” Kate Klodnicki, Plainfield South graduate on working at the Wisconsin Badger Camp

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Read partner’s lead to defend accurately

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Groucho Marx said, “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” One of the key defensive skills is reading partner’s lead -- working out what he holds in the suit. In this deal, what should East do? South is in four hearts and West leads the club jack. Over West’s one-diamond opening, North had a clear-cut takeout double. Yes, he would have preferred to hold better clubs, but he was 4-4 in the majors. South’s two-heart jump advance showed some 9-11 points. Although the diamond queen looked useless, the known eight- or nine-card heart fit was good compensation. Then both North and South were tempted by the vulnerable game bonus. When West leads the club jack, it denies the queen (we lead the top of touching honors) and the ace (we do not underlead an ace at trick one against a suit contract). So East knows that South holds the club ace and queen. As a consequence, there is no point in third hand high. South is bound to get two club tricks, but why let him capture two honors instead of one? If East plays an encouraging club eight, West, when in with the heart ace, can lead another club. Then the defenders will take one trick in each suit for down one. But if East wastes the club king at trick one, when West is next on lead, he cannot play a club without giving South three tricks in the suit. And if West leads another suit, declarer can benefit from the 3-3 spade break to take three spades, four hearts, one diamond and two clubs.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, August 17, 2014

ADVICE Romantics should come back to Earth Dear Abby: I have been single for a couple of years. I have always been levelheaded when it comes to romance, but I’m finding myself unable to control my feelings about the new man I’m seeing. “Brent” is smart, intelligent, sweet and loving. We have been dating for a little over a week and he has already given me keys to his place. (I have a roommate, or I would have given him my keys, too!) I love him. He loves me. I am so happy. I feel calm and confident about our progress. This is a first for me. I know it’s unusually fast, but my parents got married six weeks after they met, and they’re still happy together after 37 years. Love at first sight is rare, but I think this is it. Your thoughts? – Wowed In North Carolina Dear Wowed: I’m glad for your parents, but because they married six weeks after they met does not mean you must repeat history. Right now, you and Brent appear to be caught up in a whirl of endorphins

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and adrenaline. Because you asked for my thoughts I’ll share them: Slow down until both of you have your feet back on the ground because that is how solid relationships are built. Your folks were an exception to the rule. If you don’t believe me, ask them. Dear Abby: I’m a 62-year-old male. My problem is I have never been married, and when I go on dates, women always want to know why I’m still single. The reasons are financial and also that I’m allergic to cats. I have never made much money, and I live with my mother. I can’t afford to move out, and even when I had a place of my own, it didn’t make much difference. No one wants to marry me because I have never been married. I have looked this issue up online and it is a huge problem;

women definitely discriminate against never-married men. Sometimes I wonder if I should lie and say I’m a widower. What can I say to women who interrogate me about this? – Searching For A Mate In San Diego Dear Searching: If you lie about the fact that you’re a lifelong bachelor, at some point the truth will come out and your credibility will be shot. Your marital status is nothing to be ashamed of. You say you are 62 and live with your mother because you can’t afford to live on your own. Has it occurred to you that you might not be able to afford being married? Also, marriage is a big adjustment for anyone – male or female. There is no guarantee that a person who has become set in his or her ways can successfully make that transition. This is not to say that you shouldn’t have companionship, but you don’t need a wife for that. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Keep things fun, safe when it comes to youth sports Dear Doctor K: I have a fourth-grader and a middle-schooler. Both enjoy playing sports. Is there anything I can do to reduce their risk of sports injuries? Dear Reader: Injuries that result from youth sports are becoming more common -- and the injuries aren’t just the expected bumps and bruises that come with being active, either. Doctors are seeing more serious injuries, some of which can lead to lifelong disability. At the same time, regular exercise is really important to a child’s health. It also sets patterns for exercise when kids become adults, and that’s important to their health later in life. Finally, playing sports teaches many lessons about friendship, teamwork and healthy competition. So what can you do to keep your kids healthy and safe? • Make sure they learn and use proper techniques for their sport. Many coaches are parents who are well-meaning, but have

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff little or no coaching experience. When choosing leagues and coaches for your kids, ask the coaches about their experience and techniques. • Don’t overdo practice. We all know that to excel at something takes practice. But the more hours young bodies spend in practice, the higher the risk of injury. I can’t say how much is too much; it depends on many things. For example, an hour of practice once or twice a week might be fine for a young child. For a high school student, two hours every day after school. It also depends on what is happening during practice. Pay attention to your child’s energy level, interest and any physical complaints. • Think twice about contact sports. Over the past five years, there have been an increasing

number of reports about permanent brain damage from repeated head injuries. The evidence of permanent brain damage is strongest for head injuries that produce concussions. There isn’t a lot of evidence yet that contact sports are dangerous for children. As a result, my pediatric colleagues are divided about what to tell parents. I would follow the news carefully on this topic. • Vary the sports and activities. Young children often end up playing just one or two sports all year round. This can lead to stress injuries. Finally, don’t forget to keep things fun. Sometimes, sitting on the sidelines of a youth competition, you’d think that every child was headed for professional sports. Encourage your child to work hard and do his or her best.

Abuse takes many forms Dr. Wallace: I have a friend who has told me that she is in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend. She is 19 and he is 25. She says that she loves this guy and just can’t seem to break up with him. I asked her if he is hitting her and she said no. I’ve tried to pry out of her what the abuse might be, but all she says is that she doesn’t want to talk about it now, but later she will tell me everything. If it’s not physical abuse, is she being abused sexually? What should I do to help her? – Nameless, Omaha, Nebraska Dear Nameless: “Relationship abuse” is a pattern of unacceptable, and sometimes violent, behavior someone uses against a girlfriend or boyfriend. It can take many forms, including threats, insults, emotional abuse, isolation from family and friends, name calling and controlling what someone wears or who they can socialize with. It can also include sexual abuse. In most cases of relationship abuse, the victims are female, and the abusers are male. To help your friend, let her know that you will always be available to offer assistance any time she needs to call on you. It is important for her to know that you will always be there for her. Whenever you have the opportunity, ask questions about her relationship with this guy and encourage her to do her best to leave him. Also have her contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE). They will direct her to a program or support group in her community. Dr. Wallace: You wrote: “Running away

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace from home is never a solution to a family problem; it only compounds it.” I don’t like your word “never.” What about the teen who is being abused both physically and sexually by a stepfather? That’s what was happening to my best friend, and after discussing it with me, we both agreed the best thing she could do was to run away (with her boyfriend) and start a new life in another location. Never say never. – Nameless, Newport, Rhode Island P.S.: I don’t even know where they are. Dear Nameless: Your friend was in a dangerous situation and clearly needed to leave her home as soon as possible, but I fear she may have jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Her best bet would have been to find shelter with a friend or relative -- and to notify the proper authorities. Her stepfather was engaging in criminal behavior and should have faced the consequences. I know that some teens face unbearable situations at home and have no option but to leave. But they shouldn’t try to face the world on their own. It can be a cold, cruel place for a runaway. I truly hope your friend and her boyfriend are safe. But never would I encourage a teen to run away from home. The teen has safer options. • Email Dr. Robert Wallace at rwallace@ galesburg.net.

DAILY DISH By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Resist the urge to compare yourself with others. Stick to your agenda and don’t feel that you have to keep up appearances. Questioning your actions or being overly emotional can prevent you from having a realistic point of view. Get down to business in order to succeed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let emotional issues hamper your work. Mooning over personal disappointments will cause you to fall behind, making you appear to be unprofessional. Do your best; success is the sweetest revenge. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Your game plan will work out better if you are secretive about it. The element of surprise will be the determining factor that will propel you into a better position. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t hesitate to form a partnership. You will be inspired by an offhand comment or suggestion. Express your thoughts and plans with passion, and you will gain support. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Work issues will prove difficult if your emotions get in the way. Avoid hasty outbursts or accusations. Be conscientious in order to gain the support of the people who matter most. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -– Avoid an unsavory situation with anyone in an authoritative position. If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it’s likely that someone is coloring your view to manipulate you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Follow through with your plans. If you become sidetracked, you will lose ground. You will capture the interest of someone who has much to contribute to your success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Romance and relationships should take top priority. Express your desires honestly and be clear regarding your intentions and dreams. You can build a strong and stable future. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will feel the need to make personal changes. If someone in your life is causing you grief, stress or worry, consider taking a time-out to reflect on the state of the relationship. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your charisma will gain you favorable attention. Get out, mingle and enjoy being in the spotlight. You have the winning touch today and you should make the most of your popularity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Your stubbornness can lead to difficulties. Rather than get frustrated with friends or family, spend time doing your own thing. Mull over what’s transpired and let it go. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t let anyone hold you back. Rely on your knowledge and ability to get ahead. Act on your instinct, and refrain from believing everything you hear. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You need to take care of your responsibilities. An important opportunity will slip through your fingers if you are too distracted by emotional issues to pay attention to what really matters.

Moderator change on ‘Meet the Press’ By BEN TERRIS The Washington Post People can finally stop speculating about “Meet the Press.” NBC News President Deborah Turness announced that David Gregory, who has been hosting for almost six years, will leave the network and that Chuck Todd will replace him as moderator beginning Sept. 7. Andrea Mitchell will serve as moderator of “Meet the Press” this weekend. “I leave NBC as I came — humbled and grateful. I love journalism and serving as moderator of MTP was the highest honor there is,” Gregory Tweeted. Gregory took over in December 2008, after Tim Russert’s death in June of that year, and has presided over a significant drop in ratings. For weeks, there were rumors that NBC would dump Gregory, and this week, Politico’s Mike Allen reported that Todd would be the “likely successor.” CNN’s Brian Stelter first reported Thursday that Todd would take over at “Meet the Press.” For NBC, the hope is to return the program to at least a semblance of its standing in Russert’s glory days, when the show consistently clocked in atop the Sunday-talk show ratings. Fans of Todd say that’s what NBC will be getting from the new host. “They share the same boyish enthusiasm for politics and Washington and the process for it all,” says Amy Walter, who replaced Todd when he left the Hotline (she says that Russert handpicked Todd to go over to NBC). “He’s critical without being cynical. He doesn’t give politicians a pass but isn’t disdainful of them.” It’s the go-to compliment for Todd. He’s from politics the way Russert was (both worked for politicians before becoming journalists). At the same time, it’s a twist

Correspondent Chuck Todd during a 2010 broadcast of MSNBC’s “Daily Rundown” in Washington. of the knife for Gregory, who during his time at “Meet the Press” earned the reputation of not being greatly interested in politics and policy. NBC officials were even throwing around the term “the David Gregory Problem,” and when Politico reported on his imminent departure, Dylan Byers didn’t beat around the bush: “He was widely disliked within the organization and his ambition and vanity rubbed important colleagues at NBC the wrong way.” In an email to NBC News staff, Turness said Todd will continue in his role as NBC News’ political director and will “hand over his roles” as chief White House correspondent and anchor of MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown.” Todd came to Washington from Miami as an undergraduate at George Washington University and landed a job in 1992 at National Journal’s Hotline. He worked for the morning tip sheet until 2007. For six of those years he was the editor in chief. “He was a force of nature from day one,” says Craig Crawford, who was the Hotline editor when Todd started. “He was so deep

into politics that he was as enthusiastic about city council elections as presidential campaigns. He had to compromise just to keep the Hotline from being 300 pages every day.” This is why Todd is known around town as a “political junkie” and as someone who loves the game. He certainly caught the eye of David Bradley, the millionaire owner of the Atlantic, the parent company of the Hotline. Bradley, a “self-abashed Chuck fan,” emailed in this story to prove it: “If you use this, please note that this is not my everyday schedule,” he writes. “My wife and I were headed off for a small dinner honoring the King of Jordan. I dropped in on Chuck to ask him to talk me through the smartest thinking on the presidential election — of 2004. I took a few notes, repeated them at dinner, and proved to be more brilliant than, in fact, I am.” Wonks are in these days. When it comes to politics, Todd is the geek-in-chief. “There is no one with a bigger passion for politics than Chuck,” Turness said in her email. “His unique ability to deliver that pas-

sion with razor sharp analysis and infectious enthusiasm makes him the perfect next generation moderator of this beloved broadcast.” There is no doubt that the show needed some kind of a change. “Meet the Press” spent decades at No. 1, but the leader is now CBS’s “Face the Nation” (with a weekly average viewership of 3.35 million during the first three months of 2014 — 5 percent more than ABC’s “This Week” and 8 percent more than “Meet the Press.”) This past weekend, “Meet the Press” attracted 2.1 million viewers vs. about 2.9 million for “Face the Nation” and approximately 2.6 million for “This Week.” As Todd’s former boss Crawford says, knowing the material is only half the reason that Todd will be a good fit at “Meet the Press.” “The other half is having an engaging personality,” Crawford says. “He loves people and is chattier than Gregory. He’ll be able to break down barriers and get people off of their talking points.” So it seems that each time somebody compares Todd to the popular Russert, each time somebody says that Todd is truly passionate about politics, or that he lives for the game, the implication is that Gregory does not. Not everyone thinks that’s fair. “I don’t know why we have to compliment Todd at Gregory’s expense,” political strategist Hilary Rosen said in an interview. “David’s great, too.” For weeks, the rumor mills were spinning at top speed. Competitors on Fox News even started feeling bad for Gregory: “NBC is throwing David Gregory under the bus and it’s drip drip drip,” Greta Van Susteren wrote. “It is so slow, so painful and wicked.” As of Thursday afternoon, it no longer felt so slow. By Sunday, “Meet the Press” will have a new host.
