JOLIET – Amid pressurefrom a federal lawsuit, stateofficials hope to speed up theprocess of selecting a gener-al contractor to overhaul theclosed Illinois Youth Cen-ter-Joliet into a facility tohouse mentally ill inmates.

The state is moving for-ward with the project eventhough the $35.7 billion bud-get approved by the Legisla-ture in May doesn’t includemoney for IYC-Joliet.

“We are moving forward,despite the current budgetwoes, because we are legal-ly required ... to do so,” TomShaer, spokesman for the Il-linois Department of Correc-tions, said in an email.

According to project doc-uments, the Capital Devel-opment Board is requestingthat the $15.3 million con-struction project be bid outusing a “single prime” deliv-ery method, meaning all as-pects of construction will bebid out as one packaged deal.

Single prime projects aregenerally done when theproject has time restraints,s a i d D a v e B l a n c h e t t e ,spokesman for the CapitalDevelopment Board.

“This simplifies the com-munications on the projectso you’re only going throughone contractor,” Blanchettesaid.

The Illinois Departmentof Corrections is under pres-sure from a federal lawsuitthat challenges the condi-tions of the state agency’sprison system for peoplewith serious mental illness-es. In an attempt to settlethe case, IDOC agreed witha court-appointed monitor toturn IYC-Joliet – a 484-bed fa-cility on McDonough Street– into a facility for mentallyill offenders.

The court-appointed mon-

itor wants state officials toreopen the facility “as soonas possible, and certainlywithin the next 18 months,”according to state purchasingdocuments. Not meeting theneeds of mentally ill inmatescould result in a federal courtissuing a consent decree thatwould be significantly morecostly for the state, the gover-nor’s office has said.

According to CDB doc-uments, the state agency isrequesting bids from a singlecontractor because it’s in the“best interest of the state.”To move forward with thissingle prime process, theCDB is seeking approvalfrom the state’s ProcurementPolicy Board at an upcomingmeeting Aug. 7.

Total cost for the projectis about $17 million, includ-ing engineering, althoughprevious statements fromthe governor’s office esti-mated construction costs at$9 million.

Blanchette said discrep-ancy is because the initialestimate was made “undersevere time constraints”before a designer had beenhired and the full scope ofthe project was known. Afirm price tag will be knownin late 2014 when the state

plans to solicit bids.A construction timeta-

ble will be set once bids areawarded, which should oc-cur in early 2015, Blanchettesaid.

A total of 13 buildings onthe site are included in thescope of work.

Funding for the renova-tions is coming through theCapital Development Board,but the anticipated $30,000 inannual operating costs need-ed each year are contingentupon the income tax hikestaying permanent, the gov-ernor’s office has said.

The recently approvedstate budget was createdbased off an expected Jan. 1rollback of the 2011 tax hike.Local lawmakers have said avote on the income tax hikecould come up again afterthe November election, po-tentially making such spend-ing cuts moot.

Earlier this year, the statehired DLR Group, a Chica-go-based architectural firm,through an “emergency pur-chase affidavit,” exemptingthe state from going throughthe required 14-day solicita-tion period, according to doc-uments.

The firm began the $20,000study of the site April 1.

HOMER GLEN – NewMeijer stores that openedTuesday in Homer Glen andMokena represent more thanjust a new shopping optionfor customers.

They also represent morejobs and more expansionof retail in a county that isstarting to see more storesand restaurants opening.Several communities haveexperienced growth in retailand expect more businessesto come as the economy slow-ly recovers from the reces-sion of 2008-09.

Homer Glen village offi-cials expect the Meijer storeto be a significant source ofsales tax and jobs. They alsoexpect the store will attractmore retail to the village.Meijer, in turn, sees tremen-dous opportunity with theirstore opening in Homer Glen,which is another step in thecompany’s slow expansion inthe Chicago region.

“I believe things are get-ting better in the economy,but it’s not entirely hingedon that. It’s based more onour capacity to grow,” saidHank Meijer, the company’sco-chairman.

New stores and restau-rants have either opened thisyear or plan to open in thenear future in Joliet, Lock-port, New Lenox, Mokenaand Shorewood. Some areas,such as Lockport, are takinga more proactive approachto attracting retail. City of-ficials there hired the RetailCoach this year to target spe-cific businesses that wouldbe a good match for the area.

Some of the new storesopening in Joliet this yearinclude H&M and Sports Au-thority, with Fresh ThymeMarkets opening next year.In Shorewood, Mariano’sgrocery store opened July

15. Pep Boys and L.A. Fitnessplan to open in New Lenoxand a new Culver’s opened inLockport in late June.

The opening of a Meijersuperstore in Mokena is al-ready attracting more busi-ness, with Binny’s BeverageDepot proposing to set upshop in the village, said AlanZordan, Mokena communityand economic developmentdirector.

He said the village is defi-nitely seeing a recoveringretail sector that is causingother sectors in the area’seconomy to come alive.

“This brings jobs to thecommunity and helps thearea to thrive,” he said.

Pam Hirth, the economicand community developmentdirector for Lockport, saidthe economy appears to berebounding. She sees it inthe potential for new retaildevelopment.

“A lot of regional and na-

tional chains have startedtheir expansion programsand others are doing it cau-tiously,” Hirth said.

Retail businesses acrossIllinois are not doing muchbetter than before, but theyare not doing poorly either,said Peter Gill, spokesmanfor the Illinois Retail Mer-chants Association. The re-covery in the economy has

been slow overall and thisyear the brutal winter pre-vented a lot of shopping, hesaid.

“Overall, it’s been slow-er than expected,” Gill saidabout the economy. “Doesn’tmean it’s bad, but the growthhas been kind of at a snail’space.”

The success of a retailbusiness can be affected by

geography, gas prices, foodprices, employment andhousing, he said. In villag-es such as New Lenox, thegrowth of residential housingin the past several years hasattracted retail to the area.

“When you get more resi-dents demanding more goodsand services, the businessesfollow that demand,” saidRobin Ellis, New Lenox’scommunity development di-rector.

Despite the slow pace ofthe economy, Gill said the fu-ture is bright for retail andcustomers will drive its suc-cess.

“Customers really want toshop,” he said. “We alwaystalk about pent-up demandin our industry. If it’s been atough winter and customershaven’t shopped. They wantto get out and do it.”

Joliet Mayor Thomas Gi-arrante said Joliet has gar-nered the most interest in re-tail since the recession. Cityofficials are on the phone dai-ly talking to businesses andrestaurants, encouragingthem to invest in the commu-nity, he said. The recoveringeconomy has played a majorrole in the city’s retail devel-opment.

“I think the economy isgetting better,” he said. “Un-fortunately, it’s not rising asfast as it went down in 2008but I think it’s slowly im-proving.”

New stores and restaurants are popping up again

Plainfield parkboard bill still awaitsQuinn’s signature

By VIKAAS [email protected]

PLAINFIELD – Gov. PatQuinn is still reviewingthe proposed measure thatwould expand the PlainfieldTownship Park District’sBoard of Commissioners.

But his office has been intalks with the bill’s sponsorsabout signing it, accordingto state Rep. Tom Cross,R-Oswego.

Cross, a sponsor of thebill, said he hasn’t spokenwith Quinn himself, but hehas heard from the othersponsors of the bill, stateRep. Natalie Manley, D-Jo-liet, and state Sen. JenniferBertino-Tarrant, D-Shore-wood, that they have beentalking with Quinn’s officeabout signing it.

Bertino-Tarrant andManley could not be reachedlate Tuesday afternoon. Buta representative of Berti-no-Tarrant confirmed shehas been discussing the billwith Quinn’s staff.

“I don’t know for sure,but I assume he would signit,” Cross said Tuesdayduring an interview withthe editorial board of TheHerald-News.

An email from Quinn’soffice states he is still re-viewing the bill. He has untilAug. 19 to act on it.

The park district bill is a

reaction to a series of contro-versies surrounding the oldpark board majority, whichsince has broken up. Theboard has five members.

If approved, the measurewould allow Cross and Ber-tino-Tarrant to each appointa commissioner to the parkdistrict’s board of commis-sioners, who would serve un-til the spring 2015 elections.

The park district hasdealt with state-level law-suits and is under an inves-tigation by Illinois State Po-lice.

Cross said in all his yearswith the Illinois General As-sembly he hadn’t seen any-thing like the “abuse” theold majority caused at thepark district.

“I think those guys lead-ing the park district thoughtthey could just take overand get away with it,” Crosssaid. “They were out fortheir own interests.”

As the bill went throughthe House of Representa-tives and Senate, state legis-lators argued the bill couldset a precedent of the stateinterfering in local boards.

“If these commissionerswere making policy-drivendecisions I would see thatpoint,” Cross said. “Butthat’s not the case here.They were giving politicalfavors to themselves andabusing their authority.”


The former Dominick’s an-chor locations in Joliet and Ro-meoville are still looking fortenants.

Joliet Mayor Tom Giarran-te said that while there hasbeen no communication withSafeway Inc., the parent com-pany of Dominick’s, the cityhas been in contact with sev-eral potential vendors to fillthe location at 2318 EssingtonRoad.

“We have nothing to an-nounce at this time,” Giarran-te said. “But we did talk to Ca-puto’s, Mariano’s and Tony’s.That’s the last we’ve heard.”

The two anchor locationshave been vacant since Safe-way closed them along with 11other Chicago-area locationsin December.

Safeway shareholders re-cently approved a merger withgrocery chain Albertsons, ac-cording to a Wall Street Jour-nal report.

A location in Shorewoodreopened July 15 as a Maria-no’s. But the Romeoville andJoliet locations haven’t beenas lucky.

“It’s absolutely frustrat-ing,” Giarrante said. “Thesooner they are occupied thebetter. We’re losing out on

good sales tax revenue. We’renever going to quit trying tofill that spot.”

Inland Real Estate Corpora-tion, the group managing theJoliet location property, didnot immediately return phonecalls Tuesday.

In May, Giarrante and Ro-meoville Mayor John Noaksaid that Safeway had not beencommunicating with city offi-cials or property owners aboutthe status of the two locations.

Safeway continued to paythe leases on those locationsafter the Dominick’s closeddown, allowing the corpora-tion to sell the leases on the

properties on its own termswithout involving municipali-ties or owners.

Since then, nothing haschanged at the Romeovillelocation at 435 Weber Road,according to a Shiner Grouprepresentative with limitedknowledge of the property.

Bill Shiner, chief executiveofficer of the ownership group,couldn’t be reached for com-ment Tuesday.

Noak said that he couldn’tconfirm any change in thestatus of the Romeoville loca-tion on Tuesday without firsttalking with Shiner. But an up-date could come soon.

Driver, train collide at Verona crossing; no one injuredBy JESSICA [email protected]

VERONA – A freight traintraveling west through Grun-dy County collided Tuesdaywith a vehicle at Gonnamand Burkhart roads, totalingthe Jeep and halting railroadtraffic for more than two

hours.The driver reversed the

vehicle in enough time toavoid being seriously in-jured, Grundy County Sher-iff Kevin Callahan said.

“They came up to thecrossing, didn’t look andstarted to cross the trackswhen they saw the train,”

Callahan said. “They wereable to throw it in reverseand back up, which probablysaved their lives.”

The driver, Bradley J.Govindasamy, 26, of Auro-ra, was cited for failure toreduce speed at a railroadcrossing.

The front end of the ve-

hicle was heavily damaged,but the driver, passenger andtrain conductor left the scenewith no injuries, Callahansaid.

The crossing at Gonnamand Burkhart roads is notmarked by warning lights orbarricades, but there is sig-nage cautioning drivers to

yield to oncoming trains.Emergency crews re -

sponded to the scene about 2p.m. and didn’t have the areacleared until about 4:30 p.m.

A train coming from theopposite direction had to behalted as well until the acci-dent scene was cleared, Cal-lahan said.

New Lenoxranks high inhousing starts

By FELIX [email protected]

NEW LENOX – Residentialdevelopment in New Lenoxcontinues to show strength,with the village ranking highin a Metrostudy ranking ofhousing starts.

The village ranked seventhout of 15 for top number of annu-al home starts in the Chicago-ar-ea housing market this year,according to a ranking fromMetrostudy, a housing industryinformation company. Aheadof New Lenox was Huntley andthen Chicago, with Napervilleand Elgin topping the list.

Joliet ranked 15th on thelist, which was discussed atthis week’s New Lenox Vil-lage Board meeting.

New Lenox Mayor TimBaldermann said the villagehasn’t ranked any lowerduring the past several years,which shows consistentstrength in the housing mar-ket and the reputation of thevillage as a great place to live.

“It’s really pretty tremen-dous for our town to rank thathigh consistently,” he said.

Nancy Hoehn, the village’seconomic development direc-tor, also agreed the rankingshows stability in the localhousing market. Anothergood sign was that no singlesubdivision gained the mosthousing starts, she said. “Thisshows more strength because itspreads over a variety of subdi-visions in town,” she said.

Hoehn said during theeconomic downturn, many

lots in subdivisions were lefthanging in development butnow all those areas are beingbought by builders.

According to the Metro-study ranking, New Lenoxhas 167 housing starts thisyear, with Huntley and Chi-cago having 169 and 180 hous-ing starts respectively. Elginlanded on top with 322 hous-ing starts, and Joliet ranked15th at 93 housing starts.

Housing activity in theChicago area market is ex-pected to have the highestannual rate of new home con-struction since 2008, accord-ing to Metrostudy.

Metrostudy’s rankingshows New Lenox has gar-nered much interest for peo-ple looking to live in the area,contrary to another rankingfrom Movoto Blog that pinnedthe village as the most boringplace in Illinois.

Baldermann agreed and saidthe village’s strengths havebeen great schools, safe commu-nity and quality housing whilestill being close to Chicago. “Wewant a place where people canraise families and have a vari-ety of housing stock,” he said.

“It’s really pretty

tremendous for our town

to rank that high

consistently.”

New location would

be at Settlers’ Park

By BRIAN [email protected]

JOLIET – An armed manheld up a convenience storeearly Tuesday.

The robbery occurredabout 2 a.m. at the 7-Elevenstore, 1601 E. Cass St. Accord-ing to police reports, a blackman about 5 feet 8 inchestall, wearing a black hoodedsweatshirt and baseball cap,came in with a handgun.

The robber demandedmoney and left on foot. Theclerk was not injured.

The Cass Street robberyfollows another on Friday inwhich an assault rifle was re-portedly used in a hold-up ofa gas station. In that robbery,one shot was fired at the clerkof the Citgo station on RubyStreet, according to police.

Two suspects were ar-rested in the Citgo robbery:Devonte C. Jessup, 19, ofthe 100 block of Twin OaksDrive, and Fairleigh O.Jones, 19, of the 400 block ofWalter Street.


PLAINFIELD – The Trib-ute Memorial at PlainfieldCentral High School hasn’tbeen a part of Plainfield’s Me-morial Day event for the pastseveral years.

It was built in honor ofJeff Schwab, a soldier whodied during peacetime. So hisson, who recently returnedfrom military duty, was dis-appointed when the eventdidn’t include the memorial.

“He wanted to be [at thememorial for Memorial Day]and no one was around thisyear,” Jeff Schwab’s moth-er, Helen Schwab, told thePlainfield Village Board onMonday. “But we ended up atSettlers’ Park and this is anamazing place.”

Helen Schwab is part of agroup of residents involvedwith the establishment of theTribute Memorial 28 yearsago. They now want to moveit to Settlers’ Park.

“We used to travel to thememorial on Memorial Dayas part of the celebration,”resident Carolyn Dementsaid. “Then the MemorialDay event moved to Settlers’Park. With the growth of thecommunity and the increasein traffic, they can’t block offthose streets for us to visitthe memorial. We weren’table to acknowledge the me-morial.”

The move will bring it toa more central location inPlainfield and near other vet-erans memorials. The grouphad previously gained per-

mission from Plainfield Com-munity Consolidated SchoolDistrict 202 to move thememorial off of high schoolgrounds.

“I think this makes per-fect sense that this memorialshould be near our other me-

morials,” Trustee Dan Rippysaid.

Dement said a committeewill be formed and work withvillage staff to raise moneyfor the transfer, maintenanceand other costs of the memo-rial, as well as maintenance

and landscaping costs. Sever-al donors already have saidthey would pledge money.

The memorial was con-structed after the peacetimemilitary deaths of locals JeffSchwab in 1984 and KevinKelleher 1985.

Many veterans organi-zations require fallen veter-ans to have served duringwartime for their families tohave access to benefits. So atthe time, families like HelenSchwab’s decided somethingneeded to be done to memori-alize those who were killed inaction during peacetime.

They helped pave theway to build the memorialat Plainfield High School,where it was knocked downby the 1990 tornado, restoredand then re-installed behindthe new school.

“This is a very fitting trib-ute to the village of Plain-field,” Trustee Paul Fay saidof moving the memorial toSettlers’ Park.

Minooka house firedoes severe damage

By HEIDI [email protected]

MINOOKA – Paula Hender-son was sitting Monday nightwith a friend in her garageon Church Street in Minookawhen they noticed smoke bil-lowing from her neighbor’shome and called 911.

“We were sitting here, andmy friend said I think thathouse is on fire,” Hendersonsaid Tuesday morning. “Itstarted in the corner, and itwent up so fast.”

Minooka Fire ProtectionDistrict Deputy Chief BradSprague said the district re-ceived a call at 9:29 p.m. statingthere was a residential struc-ture fire at 215 E. Church St.

“When we arrived thegarage was fully involved,”Sprague said. “We deployedmultiple hand lines and openedthe roof.”

The fire still is being investi-

gated, and a cause had not beenreleased as of Tuesday evening.

Orange fencing and yellowcaution tape surrounded theboarded-up home Tuesdayat the northwest corner ofChurch Street and Illini Drive.The owner’s vehicles still sat inthe driveway with the windowsshattered in their Jeep fromthe heat of the flames.

Last crewmemberof EnolaGay dies

By KATE BRUMBACKThe Associated Press

ATLANTA – The last sur-viving member of the crewthat dropped an atomic bombon Hiroshima, hastening theend of World War II and forc-ing the world into the atomicage, has died in Georgia.

Theodore VanKirk, alsoknown as “Dutch,” died Mon-day of natural causes at the re-tirement home where he livedin Stone Mountain, Georgia,his son Tom VanKirk said. Hewas 93.

VanKirk flew nearly 60bombing missions, but it wasa single mission in the Pacif-ic that secured him a place inhistory. He was 24 years oldwhen he served as navigatoron the Enola Gay, the B-29 Su-perfortress that dropped thefirst atomic bomb deployedin wartime over the Japanesecity of Hiroshima on Aug. 6,1945.

He was teamed with pilotPaul Tibbets and bombardierTom Ferebee in Tibbets’ fledg-ling 509th Composite BombGroup for Special Mission No.13.

The mission went perfect-ly, VanKirk told The Asso-ciated Press in a 2005 inter-view. He guided the bomberthrough the night sky, just 15seconds behind schedule, hesaid. As the 9,000-pound bombnicknamed “Little Boy” felltoward the sleeping city, heand his crewmates hoped toescape with their lives.

Illinois to ask voters about taxing millionairesBy SARA BURNETTThe Associated Press

BERWYN – Illinois voterswill get a chance in Novemberto weigh in on whether mil-lionaires should pay an addi-tional income tax to help fundschools after Gov. Pat Quinnsigned legislation Tuesdayadding a nonbinding resolu-tion to the ballot.

The resolution asks voterswhether incomes over $1 mil-lion should be taxed with a 3percent surcharge. It comes asQuinn is locked in a hotly con-tested gubernatorial race withmultimillionaire businessmanBruce Rauner, a Republican.

“It’s very important that

our state put its money whereits mouth is when it comesto education,” the Democratsaid at a bill-signing event ata school in the Chicago sub-urb of Berwyn. “We need toget more resources to help ourstudents learn.”

House Speaker MichaelMadigan, a Chicago Democrat,proposed the idea as a way toraise revenue, saying it couldbring in $1 billion a year foreducation – about $550 moreper student.

Madigan – a lawyer whosaid he earns more than $1million “in a good year” – hadwanted the idea proposed as aconstitutional amendment onthe November ballot. But he

could not get the 71-vote super-majority in the House neededto put the amendment beforevoters. Illinois’ constitutionimposes a flat tax, in which alltaxpayers pay at the same rateregardless of income.

The nonbinding questionwould give the idea momen-tum in the Legislature nextyear, proponents say. Butcritics claim it’s simply a wayto drive people who supportDemocrats to the polls in thegovernor’s race and to furtherhighlight Rauner’s wealth,which Quinn and other Demo-crats say causes him to be out-of-touch with working-classpeople.

Quinn denied that was the

case Tuesday, saying he hasadvocated “for a long time” fora tax system based on the abil-ity to pay.

Rauner opposes an extratax on millionaires becausehe says lowering the overalltax burden will make Illinoismore competitive. He has saidthe ballot question “doesn’t domuch.”

Campaign spokesman MikeSchrimpf described it Tuesdayas “another toothless refer-endum.” He noted Quinn andother Democrats raised in-come taxes 67 percent in 2011,but still cut millions from gen-eral state aid – money sent toschools to help cover the basiccost of educating students.

According to the InternalRevenue Service, Illinois had14,692 tax returns in 2011 fromhouseholds where adjustedgross income was $1 millionor more. Collectively, their in-come was $42.7 billion.

Illinois has 4.8 percent ofthe nation’s millionaires, ac-cording to an analysis of IRSfigures, and ranks fifth in thenumber of wealthy residentsbehind California, New York,Texas and Florida.

The measure will be amongseveral poll-style questions onthe November ballot, includ-ing one asking voters if Illinoisshould raise the minimumwage. State election officialscertify ballots next month.

Illinois warns insurers

of discrimination banBy KERRY LESTERThe Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Illinoisregulators issued a reminderto health insurers that it is il-legal to deny coverage to some-one because they are transgen-der, drawing praise from thegay rights community.

The bulletin, which wasdated Monday and announcedTuesday, notes that both newand amended policy filingsshould comply with provi-sions in the Affordable CareAct, the Illinois Human RightsAct and the Illinois MentalHealth Parity Act – which pro-hibit discrimination againsttransgender persons becauseof general identity or healthconditions.

The guidance also remindsinsurers that it is illegal todeny coverage based on some-one’s gender identity.

Backers say the move wasprompted by concerns fortransgender people’s rights, afocus for some gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender rightsadvocates after Illinois legal-ized same-sex marriage thisyear. Health care coverage inIllinois now applies to same-

sex spouses.“I would say in the last sev-

eral years this has been an is-sue that has been percolatingaround the entire country, notjust in Illinois, to make surethat were not being deniedcoverage because of some ex-ternal characteristic,” stateRep. Greg Harris, a ChicagoDemocrat and sponsor of thestate’s same-sex marriage leg-islation, said.

Other states, includingCalifornia, Vermont, Oregon,Washington and Colorado,have also reminded insurersthat do business in their statesabout what the law says re-garding discrimination. Gay,lesbian, bisexual and trans-gender rights advocates ap-plauded Illinois’ actions.

“This guidance helps en-sure parity in health carecoverage, making certain thatservices such as mental healthcare, cancer screenings andhormone therapy are routine-ly covered for transgender peo-ple when the insurer providesthose services to non-trans-gender policy holders,” JohnPeller, interim president andCEO of the AIDS Foundationof Chicago, said in a statement.

NCAA settles head-injurylawsuit, will change rules

By MICHAEL TARMThe Associated Press

CHICAGO – The NCAAagreed Tuesday to settle aclass-action head-injury law-suit by creating a $70 millionfund to diagnose thousandsof current and former collegeathletes to determine if theysuffered brain trauma play-ing football, hockey, soccerand other contact sports.

College sports’ governingbody also agreed to imple-ment a single return-to-playpolicy spelling out how allteams must treat playerswho received head blows, ac-cording to a filing in U.S. Dis-trict Court in Chicago. Crit-ics have accused the NCAAof giving too much discretionto individual schools aboutwhen athletes can go backinto games, putting them atrisk.

Unlike a proposed settle-ment in a similar lawsuitagainst the NFL, this dealstops short of setting asidemoney to pay players whosuffered brain trauma. In-stead, athletes can sue in-dividually for damages andthe NCAA-funded tests togauge the extent of neurolog-ical injuries could establishgrounds for doing that.

The settlement appliesto all men and women whoparticipated in basketball,football, ice hockey, soc-cer, wrestling, field hockeyand lacrosse. Those who’veplayed at any time over thelast half-century or more atone of the more than 1,000NCAA member schools qual-ify for the medical exams.

Tuesday’s filing serves asnotice to the federal judgeoverseeing the case the par-ties struck a deal after nearly

a year of negotiations, whichJoseph Siprut, the lead plain-tiffs’ attorney who spear-headed talks with the NCAA,said were sometimes tough.

“I wouldn’t say thesechanges solve the safetyproblems, but they do reducethe risks,” the Chicago attor-ney said. “It’s changed col-lege sports forever.”

The NCAA, which ad-mits no wrongdoing in thesettlement and has deniedunderstating the dangers ofconcussions, hailed the set-tlement.

“This agreement’s pro-active measures will ensurestudent-athletes have accessto high quality medical careby physicians with experi-ence in the diagnosis, treat-ment and management ofconcussions,” NCAA’s chiefmedical officer Brian Hain-line said.

SAN FRANCISCO – DustinMoskovitz is plotting an escapefrom email.

The 30-year-old entrepre-neur has learned a lot aboutcommunication since heteamed up with his collegeroommate Mark Zuckerbergto create Facebook a decadeago, and that knowledge is fu-eling an audacious attempt tochange the way people connectat work, where the incessantdrumbeat of email has becomean excruciating annoyance.

Moskovitz is trying to turnthat chronic headache into anafterthought with Asana, a SanFrancisco startup he runs withformer Facebook and Googleproduct manager, Justin Ro-senstein.

Asana peddles softwarethat combines the elements ofa communal notebook, socialnetwork, instant messaging ap-plication and online calendarto enable teams of employees toshare information and do mostof their jobs without relying on

email.

“We are trying to make all

the soul-sucking work that

comes with email go away,”

Rosenstein says as Moskovitz

nods sitting across from him in

a former brewery that serves

as Asana’s headquarters. “This

came out of a deep, heartfelt

pain that Dustin and I were

experiencing, along with just

about everyone around us.”

The misery keeps mounting

in the corporate world, which

remains an email haven. This

year, each worker using a busi-

ness email account will send

and receive a daily average of

121 mail messages, a 15 percentincrease from 105 per day in2011, according to The RadicatiGroup, which tracks email us-age.

In contrast, consumers havebeen weaning themselves fromelectronic inboxes and increas-ingly turning to digital alterna-tives such as Facebook, Twitterand mobile messaging.

More email translates toless productivity as workersspend more time weeding theirinboxes and puzzling over con-voluted exchanges among ahodgepodge of colleagues andmanagers scattered in variousoffices – or sometimes just acubicles away. To exacerbatematters, vital pieces of busi-ness information are often cor-ralled in a worker’s inbox in-stead of in a database that canbe searched by anyone work-ing on the same project.

If companies set up commu-nications channels that workedmore like social networks, theamount of time workers coulddevote to other things would in-crease by about 8 percent eachweek, according to estimates

from a study by the McKinseyGlobal Institute. Another 6 per-cent of the workweek would befreed up if the shift away fromemail could unlock more of theso-called “dark matter” hiddenin individual inboxes, McK-insey estimates.

These are the problems Asa-na is trying to solve. Its bare-bones system, free to use forteams of up to 15 workers, is setup so information can be easi-ly seen by anyone authorizedby the company. Asana hopesto make money by selling sub-scriptions to more sophisti-cated versions of its softwarethat can accommodate largergroups of workers.

Moskovitz began workingon what would turn into an ear-ly prototype for Asana while hewas still at Facebook in late2007. He had become frustratedwith email’s shortcomings andset out to build a better alterna-tive for managing Facebook’sprojects. Before long, he wasspending all his time figuringout how to escape email insteadof managing Facebook’s engi-neers.Th

‘Rita’s Law’ away to battleIll. corruption

When out-of-staters are asked what comes to mindwhen they think about Illinois, government corruptionis right up there near the top of the list.

Illinoisans would ruefully agree.And who can blame them?Illinois’ last two governors, George Ryan and Rod

Blagojevich, ended up in prison on corruption charges,and before them, ex-governors Otto Kerner and DanWalker did time for their crimes.

Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson, D-Chicago, is cur-rently behind bars because of a corruption conviction.

We can think back to the days of Secretary of StatePaul Powell and his shoeboxes full of cash, or just asrecently as 2012, when former Dixon Comptroller RitaCrundwell’s massive municipal theft of nearly $54 mil-lion was uncovered.

The conviction last month of state Rep. DerrickSmith, D-Chicago, for soliciting a $7,000 bribe didn’tmake much of a splash in this scandal-scarred state.Illinoisans are inured to such things.

However, when corruption is quantified in dollarsand cents, so you know how much it’s costing individu-als, maybe people will sit up and take notice.

Two professors recently performed that service forIllinois and other corruption-plagued states.

John Mikesell is an Indiana University professor ofpublic and environmental affairs, while Cheol Liu is anassistant professor of public policy at City University ofHong Kong.

They studied public corruption cases across Americabetween 1997 and 2008, named the 10 most corrupt states(Illinois easily made this rogue’s gallery), and calculat-ed what that corruption cost taxpayers per capita.

The “corruption tax,” as they dubbed it, came to anaverage of $1,308 a person in those states.

So, Illinois has more corruption than the averagestate, and its residents end up paying extra tax dollarsbecause of it.

Prosecution of corrupt officials is only one responseto the problem.

Prevention is another.Elected government officials, who are supposed to be

watchdogs over the public purse, have been given a newtool to monitor tax dollars on the local level.

That’s because legislation sponsored by state Rep.Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, was signed into law last weekby Gov. Pat Quinn.

See RITA, page 20

Illinois needs to do more for businessesSPRINGFIELD – I picked

up my vacation photos at Wal-greens the other day.

And I didn’t hear anyFrench, German or Italianspoken.

How surprising.I’ve read that the drugstore

chain is considering becominga Swiss corporation.

I’ll admit the thought of acompany that is essentiallyan American icon becoming aforeign corporation gives mepause.

After all, Walgreens is oneof Illinois’ premier companies.

It was founded here in1901 and is headquartered inDeerfield.

And now they are talkingabout moving their headquar-ters to Switzerland.

But what exactly does itmean when a corporationbecomes Swiss?

Will they start havingcomplimentary fondue in thecheckout lanes?

Will the pharmacist yodelinstructions to customers inthe drive through?

Or is it a matter of some in-corporation paperwork beingfiled in an office in the Alpsrather than Springfield?

I would hate to see Wal-greens – or any other cor-poration – renounce its U.S.citizenship.

Every time that happens, itreminds us that the businessclimate in this country is notwhat it should be.

One has to ask, why would acorporation founded in Illinois

113 years ago want to becomeSwiss? The answer is as obvi-ous as the Matterhorn.

Corporate taxes in Illinoisand the United States are toohigh.

Way too high.The United States has the

highest corporate tax rates onthe planet.

And, you guessed it, Illinoishas one of the highest statecorporate tax rates in the U.S.

Business corporations existto make money by servingpeople. And when governmentmakes it harder to earn in oneplace, they will look elsewhere.

We can spend a lot of timebemoaning that fact, or simplyacknowledge that is the caseand work to create a climatethat attracts business anddoesn’t repel jobs.

Still the idea of Walgreensleaving is a bitter pill toswallow.

But here is the deal, whena company switches in whatcountry it will be incorporat-ed, as Walgreens is consider-ing, it still pays taxes to theU.S. government on its U.S.earnings. And it would bepaying them at the same ratethat it always has.

On money it makes over-seas it would pay that coun-try’s rate. Seems fair, right?

Unfortunately, the U.S.expects companies headquar-tered here to pay the equiv-alent of the full U.S. rate onmoney earned elsewhere.

So U.S. companies thatdo business overseas chooseto move their headquarters

elsewhere.So what’s the solution?The answer would seem

to be to lower the corporateincome tax rate so that it iscompetitive with other west-ern nations. If the U.S. had thesame tax policies as Switzer-land – or most Western nations– Walgreens would pay billionsless in taxes and wouldn’t beconsidering moving.

The billions saved could goto shareholders in the formof dividends, to employeesthrough higher pay and cus-tomers through lower prices.

And what could be moreAmerican than that?

The law, inspired byCrundwell’s brazen thievery,is designed to give much moreattention to the annual auditsof city and county govern-ments.

More copies of audits andfinancial statements will begiven to officials.

Public presentations ofaudit results will be required,where questions can be askedof the auditors.

If the governmental entityhas a website, the municipal-ity or county board must postinformation in the financialstatements of the audit.

The idea is that, with morepeople scrutinizing how thepublic’s money is spent, the

likelihood improves that anymonkey business going on willbe detected.

And maybe, just maybe,the process will deter larce-ny-minded public money han-dlers from helping themselvesin the first place.

The new approach to audit-ing has been dubbed “Rita’sLaw,” which sounds appropri-ate to us.

Clearly, the new process isan improvement over the for-mer law, which required onlythat audits be completed andplaced on file with the statecomptroller’s office.

In the future, when Ameri-cans are asked their thoughtsabout Illinois, maybe govern-ment corruption won’t placeso high on the list. If so, “Rita’sLaw” might just deserve someof the credit.

Krupa, Pluth claim titles onDay 2

By CURT [email protected]

JOLIET – After a compet-itive first day at the JolietPark District’s Joliet JuniorAmateur, where four golferswere within four strokes ofthe top spot in the 16 to 18 agedivision, there figured to besome drama in Tuesday’s fi-nal round.

And that’s precisely whathappened at Woodruff GolfCourse with Monday’s top twofinishers, Jon Krupa and Vic-tor Perez, Jr., tied for the leadheading into the 18th hole.

But things didn’t go downto the wire after Krupa made agreat approach and recordeda birdie, while Perez settledfor a bogey on the hole.

Krupa, who’ll be a seniorat Downers Grove South, shota 70 to follow up on his first-round 74 for a two-day total of144. Perez, who’ll be a juniorat Lincoln-Way East, shot a 75on Monday and a 71 in the fi-nal round for a 146 score.

“Victor and I were tied go-ing into the last hole, and hewas playing some great golfand had just birdied 17 andthat was scaring me,” Kru-pa said. “On my second shot,I had to back off a few timessince I was getting so shaky.I told myself I just had to hitit and go for the best and sureenough, I stuck it real closeand all of the pressure was off.

“Coach (Paul) Downeyfrom St. Francis told me tocome to this tournament, andI was getting worried afterI saw some of the players. Itwas good playing against Vic-tor and Huston (Gass) told mea lot about playing at St. Fran-cis.”

Although he fell just shortof capturing the title, Perezbelieves that he benefitedfrom competing in the tourna-ment.

“All of the scores in ourgroup were pretty close, andeven though there was lot ofpressure, it was fun overalland a good experience,” Perezsaid. “I was also close in the

club championship here, andthat also was fun. I felt likeI’ve gone down two or threestrokes from last season, sothat’s a big gain.”

St. Francis’ Huston Gasswas third after the opening

day, but was passed for thatspot by Mark Boykin, a ju-nior at Joliet Central, whofollowed up on a 77 with a 72for a 149 total while Gass shota 75 on Tuesday and a 76 theday before to finish with a 151

score.Two other competitors in

the older division made bigimprovements upon fromtheir first-day efforts. JakeBugajski shot an 81 on Tues-day, while Matt Kinsella firedan 82.

There was a tie atop thestandings in the 13 to 15 agegroup at 79 after the first daybut Jake Pluth turned in an 81and finished with a 160 total.Thomas Rodriguez, who willbe a sophomore at Peotone,shot a 91 on Tuesday to finishwith a 170.

Pluth, who will be a fresh-man at Joliet Catholic, alsowon the JPD’s Junior Tourna-ment Boys B title by 10 strokesearlier this month.

“I thought that I did okayon the first day,” Pluth said.“I was hitting it straight butwhen I hit it right, I’d end up

with a double- or triple-bogey.This is a hard course, so todayI decided that I was going toplay everything safe and I didthat by hitting more irons.

“When I found out that I wastied going into the second day,I was sort of worried at firstsince I’ve usually been up inthese tournaments. But whenI walked onto the course today,I thought to myself that therewas no way that I was going tolose. I’m really excited abouthigh school and being able toplay against some other kids.”

Four others in that agegroup also improved upontheir Monday rounds, in-cluding Tanner McClintock,who shot a 92 to finish thirdwith a 197 total. Also turningin better scores on Tuesdaywere Maddy Palmer, TroyTidaback and Brandyn Col-lins.

ROMEOVILLE – Before be-coming men’s basketball coachat Lewis, Scott Trost enjoyed asuccessful run in the same ca-pacity at Illinois Wesleyan.

The Titans had two suc-cessive Sweet 16 finishes inthe NCAA Division III Tour-nament, followed by a seasonwhen they went to the FinalFour.

You would suppose the Fi-nal Four would rank as the No.1 memory of the career of theplayers on that team. But may-be not.

“The best experience theyhad probably was the summertrip to Costa Rica,” Trost said.

“Whenever I get together withany of those guys now, the Cos-ta Rica trip invariably comesup.

“It will be nice to go back.”Trost, indeed, is going back,

this time with the 15 returningplayers from last year’s Lewisteam, which finished 21-16. TheFlyers leave Sunday and willreturn the next Sunday.

While in Central America,they will play four games, oneagainst a professional teamand three against differentplayers from Costa Rican na-tional teams.

“When we did this at Wes-leyan, the core of the team wasentering their senior year, andthat’s the year we went to theFinal Four,” Trost said. “The

trip really helped us get there.“Some of our guys have nev-

er flown before. And this is notsomething they need to fund.The players are paying verylittle if anything.”

Trost said the opportunityto see a different culture is aplus.

“Our players hopefully willbetter appreciate what theyhave here,” he said.

“There’s a learning com-ponent to this, too. They’ll bedoing a couple of clinics andmaybe have the opportunity tovisit an orphanage.”

On the court, the benefitbegins with having the teamtogether for 10 extra days ofpractice. Against the Costa Ri-can teams, Trost said, “We’ll

try new things, maybe a newzone defense and a differenttransition offense. All the guyswill play.”

The Flyers will play onegame Monday and the finalthree games Friday and Satur-

day. From Tuesday to Thurs-day, there will be opportunityfor beach time and perhapszip-lining and whitewater raft-ing.

“It will be a bonding experi-ence,” Trost said.

JOLIET – After finish-ing up a successful career atSaint Xavier University inthe spring, Scott Vachon wasuncertain about what kind offuture he had in baseball.

The Plainfield North grad-uate started the summer play-ing along with some of hisformer teammates and otherarea athletes with the JolietDirtbags.

While he enjoyed thattime, Vachon hoped for an op-portunity to make a go of itin pro ball but knew that theodds of getting a shot werelong for most players.

But that big break camehis way July 1 when Tra-verse City of the FrontierLeague signed the 6-foot-7righthander to a contract.

And when the Beach Bumscame to Joliet last week fortheir first series with theSlammers, Vachon not onlygot to pitch in one contest but

also walked away with hisinitial win as a professionalafter the visitors won a 12-in-ning contest.

In the July 22 game atSilver Cross Field, Vachonretired Joliet in order inthe 11th, and his teammatesscored three runs in the 12thand the former Tiger standoutfinished up to claim the win inhis team’s 7-5 victory.

Needless to say, Vachonwas thrilled to capture hisfirst victory as a pro in frontof family and friends justa few miles away from hishometown of Plainfield.

And the fact that he wasin a familiar setting made hislocal debut as a pro playermuch easier, despite the facthe entered the game in a pres-sure situation.

“I had a lot of family andfriends here so I was pret-ty amped up,” Vachon said.“It’s pretty cool to come backhome and seeing familiar fac-es. I had thrown here in col-lege and also in high school,so there was a level of comfortsince I’ve had some successhere.

“I’d pitched here aboutfive times and been here as ayounger kid going out on thefield and meeting the Jack-

Hammers at the time, so it’svery nice to have some moresuccess. I just went out andthrew strikes and tried to domy thing and it worked outwell for me.”

The transition to pro ballhas been a challenge forVachon, who was a four-yearplayer at Saint Xavier.

He received all-conferencehonors in his past two years.He led SXU with a 2.24 ERAand 74 strikeouts in his finalseason with the Cougars.

But the jump from NAIAcompetition to FrontierLeague play, where manyplayers began their careers

in organizational ball, hasn’tbeen easy for a pitcher whowas used to being a starter incollege and now is being uti-lized as a reliever.

“It’s definitely a big adjust-ment from college,” Vachonsaid. “You’ve really got tokeep the ball down and there’sno easy outs in the lineup. Soyou have to get used to throw-ing 110 percent on every pitchand going out there and justtrying to be ready.

“I’m used to being a start-er, so it’s different as a reliev-er. You’re only pitching oneor two innings, so there’s nosaving any gas. But I really

like the change. You go outthere and give it your all whilewhen you’re starting, you’vegot to think more about thebig picture.”

After being not too farfrom home in recent years,Vachon now finds himselfmore than five hours awayplaying in a community re-nowned for its tourism, cher-ries and wine.

“I’m used to having myfriends around and peoplethat I know,” Vachon said.“Now when I look in thestands, I don’t know one per-son. But the team is awesomeand I’ve already made a lotof good friends. I had been toMichigan a lot and there’s alot to do so I feel lucky thatI got to have this opportuni-ty to be in such a beautifulplace.

“When I was in highschool, I was 100 percent bas-ketball, but then I tore myACL and couldn’t jump anymore. So I decided to givebaseball a chance to see if Icould play at the next level.When i got the call to comehere, I almost started cryingsince I was so happy. Onlyabout one percent of playersget this opportunity, so I justfeel blessed to be here.”

MIDWEST BASEBALL CLASSIC

Locals help IllinoisWhite win Game 1

By DICK [email protected]

JOLIET – Shortstop CodyGrosse ranged far to his left,spun around and fired a striketo first base to retire the batter.

Right-hander Brent Vil-lasenor started and pitchedtwo-hit ball over three score-less innings Tuesday as TeamIllinois White got off to a flyingstart, beating Colorado, 6-0, inthe first of five games it is play-ing in the Midwest BaseballClassic at Plainfield South.

The event is for players en-tering their senior year of highschool, with a limited numberof juniors on the rosters of Illi-nois White, Illinois Tan, Colo-rado, New York, Indiana andMissouri.

The tournament is around-robin running throughThursday. Illinois White facedNew York later Tuesday.

Regardless of the schedule,a roster can contain as manyas 25 players, and every kid in-volved knows he will see a fairamount of action.

Illinois White is managedby former Lockport coach andHall of Famer Jim Hall. Hisroster includes Joliet West’sGrosse, Robert Talarico andGriffin McGuire; Providence’sVillasenor; Joliet Catholic’sNick Dalesandro; PlainfieldSouth’s Shane Ritter, andLincoln-Way East’s Mitch Ma-tuszewski.

Grosse had the privilegeof playing in this tournamentlast summer, when his JolietWest teammate, Zack Thomas,also was a member of IllinoisWhite.

Thomas, who graduatedin the spring, was on handto watch Illinois White andperhaps do a little recruiting.He will continue his careerat NCAA Division I ChicagoState and would love to bringGrosse along.

“Yeah, Zack wants me tocome there and play withhim,” Grosse said with a smile.“Chicago State has offered me.I have an offer from Heartland,too, but I really want to go to afour-year school.”

“Cody’s on the recruitingtrail this summer like I was

last year,” Thomas said.Grosse said he just returned

from Arizona, where he waswith his summer team, theDowners Grove Long Shots,just in time to play in the Mid-west Classic.

He also has played in Geor-gia and Michigan, “and that’sall this month,” he said.

That sort of schedule pre-vented Grosse from spendingmuch time with the West sum-mer team. “I played with themmaybe twice all summer,” hesaid.

Next spring, though, he willbe at shortstop with the Ti-gers. Along with Talarico andMcGuire, he will attempt tohelp lead them to even great-er heights than they achievedthis spring, when they won theClass 4A Plainfield South Re-gional.

“I certainly want to see usgo further,” he said. “Hopeful-ly the three of us can lead theteam.”

Villasenor arguably was 4Astate champion Providence’sbest pitcher during the regularspring season. At playoff time,seniors Jake Godfrey andDylan Rosa got a majority ofthe innings. Villasenor is anx-ious for his shot at No. 1.

“Coach [Mark Smith]told me I’ll be the No. 1 nextspring,” Villasenor said. “Iwant to live up to the expecta-tions.”

Villasenor plays summerball with the Illinois Sparksbut missed some of that sea-son because of Providence’slengthy playoff run. He hasbeen at tournaments in Geor-gia and Indianapolis butpitched only once. Tuesdaymarked his second outing ofthe summer.

“I pretty much shut it downthis summer,” he said. “I felt alittle discomfort in the elbowtoday. But it was cool to startthe first game, and I was ableto throw strikes.”

AREA ROUNDUP BEARS IN BOURBONNAIS

Ola off to a solid startBy KEVIN FISHBAIN

[email protected]

BOURBONNAIS – Whenthe pads came on for the firsttime Sunday, guard MichaelOla did his best to make hisfirst reps worth it.

In one-on-one pass rushdrills, Ola stood his ground,keeping both undrafted rook-ie Brandon Dunn and third-round pick Will Sutton atbay. Kyle Long praised Olafrom the sideline.

Ola was claimed off waiv-ers May 29 from the Dol-phins, and he reunited withMarc Trestman, whom heplayed for in Montreal in2012. Through four practic-es in training camp, Ola hasbeen working as the sec-ond-team right guard.

With Long out Mondayand Eben Britton playingsecond-team right tackle,Ola got an opportunity withthe first-team offensive line,splitting reps at right guardwith Brian de la Puente, andhe later played left guardwhen Matt Slauson was out.

“It felt great, man, just fi-nally putting the pads on, see

where you are, gauge whereyour teammates are andwork on your craft,” Ola saidwith a big smile after Sun-day’s first padded practice.

The Bears figure to keepnine offensive linemen – lastyear’s starting five, Brittonand de la Puente are expect-ed locks, which means Olais competing with JamesBrown, Taylor Boggs, JoeLong and Charles Leno Jr.,among others, for the finaltwo spots, or maybe get alook at the practice squad.While competing, Ola is rev-eling in the experience withhis O-line teammates.

“I can honestly say this isthe best offensive line groupI’ve ever been a part of,” hesaid. “I didn’t have to workto be welcomed here. Therewas no animosity. Slausonteaches me everything I needto know.

“… And beyond that it’snot just here in the office.When I didn’t have my carout here, they were pickingme up and everything. I justfeel like the little brotherjumping into the crew, try-ing to find my way.”

Fitzgerald looks formore recruiting accountabilityBy JEFF ARNOLD

[email protected]

CHICAGO – Pat Fitzgerald

spent the offseason preaching

accountability to his Northwest-

ern football program, stressing

the need for his players to own

up to the moments that cost

the Wildcats games during last

year’s disappointing 5-7 season.

But Fitzgerald also believes

there needs to be more account-

ability when

it comes to re-

cruiting in an

age when high

school players

commit to play

college football

at a school,

only to change

their mind.

So on Tuesday – a day after

Northwestern had its two high-

est-ranked recruits step away

from their verbal commitments

– Fitzgerald seconded a motion

suggested by Nebraska coach

Bo Pelini to do away with Na-

tional Signing Day all together.

In its place, Fitzgerald pro-

posed creating a website that

announces that coaches have

offered a high school recruit a

scholarship and then giving the

recruit a 48-hour “cooling off pe-

riod” to decide whether he will

accept it. Fitzgerald said every-

one in the country would have

access to the site so that it’s

clear which school has offered a

recruit a scholarship and what

that recruit’s decision is.

The only out? If a coach gets

fired or if a program gets put on

NCAA probation. Otherwise,

once a decision has been made,

it’s made.

“Some of our fans don’t like

the idea that if we make a com-

mitment [to a recruit], we’re

engaged and if you break the

engagement in the marriage

world, there’s no more getting

married,” Fitzgerald said Tues-

day at the Big Ten’s annual me-

dia days at the Chicago Hilton.

“Like it or not, that’s the way

we’re going to do business.”

Fitzgerald has a strict re-

cruiting policy that prohibits

recruits from visiting other

schools once they have verbal-

ly committed to play for the

Wildcats. If they do, Fitzgerald

rescinds the offer. It’s a policy

that Fitzgerald said recruits un-

derstand when he begins a re-

lationship with that player. It’s

also one that is made clear to the

players’ coaches and parents.

Fitzgerald couldn’t specify

whether he is the only Big Ten

coach to have such a policy in

place. But it’s clearly located

at the opposite end of the spec-

trum from coaches like Ohio

State’s Urban Meyer and others

who have made it clear they will

continue to pursue a recruit un-

til they have signed a letter of

intent.

On Tuesday, Fitzgerald said

there has to be accountability

“on both sides of the fence,”

and added that he believes the

way recruits formally currently

commit to a college program is

antiquated.

Fitzgerald’s thoughts mirror

those of Pelini, who said that

national signing day needs to

be done away with. That way,

Pelini said, recruits would be al-

lowed to make their decision of-

ficial when they are ready rath-

er than waiting until February,

when each year, thousands of

players sign their letter of in-

tent, declaring where they will

play football.

Like Fitzgerald, Pelini

doesn’t understand the pomp

and circumstance of what has

become a recruiting national

holiday.

“As far as, Hey – you come

to an agreement, someone

commits to your school, you’ve

made a commitment to a young

man to come play in your pro-

gram, why do we have to wait

until a certain day?”, Pelini

said. “Why don’t we just go

ahead and sign on the dotted

line, let’s get it over with and

move forward.

“And obviously, that’s dif-

ferent than the way things have

been for a long time.”

Pelini said perhaps by elim-

inating signing day, some of

the early offers that come from

coaches would be eliminated as

well as slowing down “some of

the ridiculous things that go on

both ends – on the institution’s

side of things and as far as the

recruits.”

Pelini said, in the end, it

comes down to integrity. Fitz-

gerald agrees wholeheartedly.

On Monday, Northwestern

lost a pair of four-star recruits

from its 2015 class when twins

Andrew and David Dowell – a

running back and defensive

back, respectively – decommit-

ted, according to multiple me-

dia reports. According to the

Chicago Tribune, both Lake-

wood, Ohio, natives, had com-

mitted to Fitzgerald in April

but are now widely considered

to be leaning toward choosing

Vanderbilt.

Northwestern currently has

16 players in its 2015 recruiting

class.

Fitzgerald said Tuesday he

has no intention of changing

his policy, calling reversing his

course “a slippery slope” that

he would be upset to have to

travel down if forced. At the end

of the day, Fitzgerald said, all he

is looking for is for recruits to

stand by their word.

Jose Quintana (6-7) allowed two runsand nine hits in six innings.

Detroit made three errors, includingtwo in that seventh inning. Soria madehis first home appearance since the Tigersacquired him in a trade with Texas. He re-tired only one of the seven hitters he facedand allowed his first two homers of theseason.

Abreu hit his major league-leading31st homer of the year. He finished withthree hits, extending his hitting streak to18 games.

With men on first and second and oneout in the seventh, Tyler Flowers singledto left, and left fielder Rajai Davis’ errorallowed a run to score from second. That

Better than store-boughtBy DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND

[email protected]

JOLIET – Guy Turi, owner of Baro-lo’s in Joliet, won’t share.

The formula for his signature San-gria, that is.

Turi will, however, be sharing plen-ty of the beverage Tuesday during hisSangria Summer Party fundraiser athis restaurant, to benefit the nonprofitAdopt-A-Village, Guatemala.

Although Turi has not yet finalizedthe menu, he promises it will includea variety of meats and pastas, servedin a casual style. This is not a black-tieaffair.

“I want people to mingle with eachother,” he said.

Why Guatemala?Many years ago, Turi began spon-

soring a child in Guatemala throughWorld Vision, said his wife, MelissaTuri, which is how he learned about theplight of children in extremely poor ar-eas and became determined to do more.

So Guy and Melissa adopted a littlegirl from Guatemala – Ana Christina,now 7 – who joined their sons Gaeta-no, 16, and Anthony, 10, as well theirdog, Winnie. For Guy, it was still notenough.

Guy Turi is now “stepping up to theplate,” Melissa said, with the fundrais-er.

“I’m just struck by the poverty ofthese little kids, living on the streetsand eating garbage,” Guy said. “I can’tphysically go there and build schools,so this is my way of helping.”

At the heart of the celebration willbe Guy’s sangria, which he began mak-ing about six years ago and has sincebecome a popular item at Barolo’s.People actually buy extra bottles sothey can enjoy it at home, he said.

“I had tasted commercial sangrias,and the flavor just wasn’t there,” Guysaid. “I knew I could do better than thestore-bought.”

While Guy wouldn’t dream ofparting with his recipe, he did sharethis: He uses only natural products inhis Sangria and that he macerates thewine in his special mix of fruits, herbsand spices for at least a week.

How much Guy makes in a seasonis anyone’s guess. “We make it contin-uously,” Guy said.

Through AAVG and from visitingGuatemala when they were adoptingtheir daughter, Melissa learned thatmany children are living on the streetsbefore they reach adolescence. Poorfamilies fortunate enough to staytogether live in shacks and subsist ontortillas from corn they hand-grind

and bake in an oven that’s little morethan a hole.

“The fortunate ones are able tosecure some beans,” Melissa said.

Melissa said that in the 25 yearsthat the AAVG founder has been run-ning the grassroots organization, shehas established an education founda-

tion, sponsorships and ways to helpthe people become more self-sufficient.

“[The founder] doesn’t just givethem money,” Melissa said. “Shegets them seeds and helps them withgardening and greenhouses, where sheactually teaches them how to sustainthemselves.”

In addition to Guy’s sangria and theMediterranean buffet, the event willfeature some unique raffle items, Melis-sa said. One is a chocolate basket, withtwo $50 tickets to next year’s ShorewoodHUGS chocolate ball, donated by thenonprofit Shorewood HUGS.

Another will contain a bottle ofwine, a variety of pasta and otherfoodstuffs, Melissa said. AuthenticGuatemalan “worry dolls” will be soldfor $5 each.

Neither Guy nor Melissa has set afundraising goal for this event.

“It’s whatever people will gener-ously donate,” Guy said.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Hannah More, an English play-wright, moralist and philanthro-pist who died in 1833, said, “Goalshelp you overcome short-termproblems.”

At the bridge table, a deal isa short-term problem. Your goalis to make or break the contract.However, sometimes there is anominous problem that can be hardto spot.

In today’s deal, how shouldSouth play in three no-trump?West leads his fourth-highestheart. East wins with his ace andreturns the heart jack, the higherof two remaining cards.

The auction was straightfor-ward. South’s one-no-trump rebidshowed a balanced hand with12-14 points. North knew to go forthe nine-trick game, not to look forfive clubs. Here, careful defensewould have defeated five clubs;South would have lost two spadesand one heart.

Declarer seems to have nineeasy winners: one spade, one heart(given the first trick), two dia-monds and five clubs. But if Southwins the second trick and goesafter the clubs, he will, sooner orlater, notice a problem. Since Easthas jack-third, declarer will haveto win the fourth round of clubs inthe dummy. He will have no wayto reach his winning club six.

It is difficult to anticipate thepotential blockage in the club suit.But once it is spotted, how canSouth get around it?

The solution is not to win thesecond heart trick. Then, whenEast leads his last heart, declarertakes the trick with his king anddiscards a club from the dummy.Alternatively (but not recom-mended), South could take the sec-ond trick and lead his third heart,throwing a club from the board.

The problemmaybe hard to foresee

Dear Doctor K: I have athlete’sfoot. How can I get rid of it? Andhow can I make sure I don’t getit again?

Dear Reader: Athlete’s foot isa common fungal infection. Itgot its name because walkingaround barefoot in a lockerroom is a good way to becomeinfected. You can also pick up thefungus from improperly cleanedinstruments used in a pedicure,in the dressing rooms of cloth-ing stores, in swimming poolchanging areas, or anyplace thatcombines dampness and a lot offoot traffic.

An early sign of infection iswhite scaly patches or fissures(small tears in the skin), espe-cially between the toes. As the in-fection progresses, the skin mayturn red and become itchy andmoist. Small blisters may spreadout across your foot. They thenbreak and expose painful fissuresthat may swell. The infectionmay spread to the soles of yourfeet or to your toenails. If youtouch your feet and then anotherpart of your body, the infectionmay spread there as well.

There are several treatmentoptions. For a mild infection,focus on foot hygiene. Wash

your feet regularly and dry themthoroughly, especially betweenthe toes. Apply an antifungalcream to the affected area anddust your socks and shoes withantifungal powder. Examplesof medicines that are availableover the counter are terbinafine(Lamisil), clotrimazole (Lotrim-in), miconazole (Micatin) andtolnaftate (Tinactin). Manyeffective antifungal remedies aresold over the counter.

If you have a severe infectionor don’t see improvement aftertwo weeks of over-the-countertreatment, see a foot care spe-cialist. He or she may prescribea stronger topical medicationfor a longer period of time. Heor she also may recommend aprescription medication to takeby mouth. Some examples areterbinafine, itraconazole andfluconazole.

Watch for one dangerouscomplication of athlete’s foot:a bacterial infection calledcellulitis. It causes a redness of

the skin on the top of the foot(starting near the toes) and thenspreads up the lower leg. The redarea may be slightly tender, anda fever may develop. Bacterialive on the skin. When athlete’sfoot causes a break in the skin, itallows bacteria to get under thesurface of the skin and spread.

The best way to preventathlete’s foot, or a recurrenceof it, is by wearing sandals orshower shoes in locker roomsor pool areas. Fungi thrive indark, damp environments, butthe most common dark, damp en-vironment your feet experienceis not a locker room. It’s yourshoe, particularly in warm or hotweather, when your feet sweat.

To avoid athlete’s foot, washyour feet with soap and waterat least once a day. Keep yourfeet dry the rest of the time. Puton clean socks every day, andchange them more often if yousweat a lot or get them wet. Takeyour shoes off at home to giveyour feet a chance to “breathe.”

Dr. Wallace: I’m a

17-year-old girl, and for

the first time in several

years, I’m free as a bird

in flight. Since I started

dating at 15, I was

always hung up on some

guy. I thought if I didn’t

have a guy, I’d be an

outcast socially. Sure, I

want to meet the right

guy someday, but that’s

in the future.

I am now totally

happy not having a guy

in my life. I belong to

several school organi-

zations, volunteer for a

local charity and teach

Sunday school. I also

spend more time with

my girlfriends, and we

have good times when

we get together. I really

don’t need some guy

coming in and changing

my life at this time.

Why do girls feel that

having a steady boy-

friend is so important?

This is a time when we

should have the freedom

to do, within reason,

whatever we want,

when we want. After all,

most girls will eventu-

ally marry and have

children and that will

be exciting, but it limits

our freedom.

I’m writing to tell

girls to enjoy these years

and spend time with a

lot of friends. I’ve done

and seen more in the

three months I’ve been

“free” than in the prior

two and a half years

when I was in relation-

ships.

Girls, don’t go out

with a guy because

of peer pressure or to

enlarge your ego. Go

out with him only if you

can’t bear to be without

him. – Happy, PeoriaDear Happy: Thanks

for sharing your

thoughts.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and

dating Jared, who is 21.

We met at a Fourth of

July party. Jared is fun

to be with and he seems

to be a good guy, but he

is flawed. He constantly

tells lies. He has told me

that his father owns a

big company. I found out

that his father owns a

coffee shop.

Last week he told

me that his cousin was

in the military and was

killed by a roadside

bomb. I called his sister

and she said that their

cousin is in the navy

and stationed in San

Francisco.

I could give you five

dozen more lies he has

laid on me. I’ve told him

a dozen times to stop

lying, and he insists that

he is telling the truth.

His sister said that

her brother is a good

guy, but that he “fibs” to

get sympathy.

How should I handle

this? – Megan, Del Rio,Texas

DearMegan: Jared

has a serious psycho-

logical problem. Seeing

him on a regular basis

will cause you both

frustration and anger.

The sooner you tell him

goodbye, the sooner you

can find a fun guy who

isn’t flawed.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16

and recovering from the

eating disorder anorexia

nervosa. I have heard

that about 10 million

people in the U.S. suffer

from this disease. Is this

a fair estimate? – Name-less, Fort Wayne, Ind.

Dear Nameless:Over

90 percent of all anorex-

ia victims are female

ranging in age from

15 to 25. It is estimated

that one in 1,000 females

suffers from anorexia

nervosa (self-starva-

tion).

Dear Abby: My husband’s fami-ly are hypocrites! They talk abouteveryone and their problems, yetwhen something arises in theirfamily, they want it kept hush-hush.

My sister-in-law, “Gina,” hada baby recently. Her husband,“Allan,” was suspicious becausetheir sexual relations had stoppedyears ago. He did a store-boughtDNA test (twice) and realizedthe baby was not his. When heconfronted her, she wouldn’t tellhim who the father is, but said shehad discussed the pregnancy withthe father, and they had decided itwould be best for her to raise thebaby as her husband’s.

Well, Allan and Gina are nowgetting divorced, and he’s havinghis name removed from thebaby’s birth certificate. Of course,everyone but me wants this tostay quiet. I want the wife of theman to know, and I want ALL thepeople my in-laws trash all thetime to know!

Perhaps this seems mean, butDANG IT, why shouldn’t every-one know that Gina isn’t Miss Per-fect? What do you think? – TickedOff In Louisiana

Dear Ticked Off:Please don’t acton impulse. I think that as disgust-ed as you are with your in-laws,you should keep your mouth shut.If you spread this around, it couldeventually embarrass the CHILD,who is blameless in all this.

Dear Abby: I am a man who hasrecently fallen in love with a beau-tiful male-to-female transgender.She considers herself a woman,but on social media lists herselfas male.

I am wondering whetherI should consider myself gay,bisexual or straight? I alwaysconsidered myself straight until

recently. – No Longer Sure InTexas

Dear No Longer Sure:Becausethe person presents herself to youas female, then you are a straightman who has fallen in love with atransgender woman.

Dear Abby: I use public trans-portation to commute to and fromwork. I use the time to read andunwind from my day. Peopleoften start talking to me, and Ifind myself trapped for the next 45minutes listening to a monologueabout their lives. The fact that Ihave earplugs in and a book onmy lap is no deterrent.

What’s the best way to tellsomeone I prefer not listen to his/her ramblings? – Bookworm InCalgary, Canada

Dear Bookworm:Smile at theperson and say, “I need this timeto catch up on my reading.” That’sasserting your right to privacy.

The energy and excitement are there,the music – from which much of thatenergy and excitement pours – is frontand center, and the acting is as near asyou can get to flawless. But when a post-er boldly claims “Get on Up” to be “theJames Brown story,” the film has the re-sponsibility to tell that story in a mannerthat lets you begin to understand whatmade James Brown tick.

That doesn’t happen here. Yes, thetale stretches from his poor-as-dirt days,growing up in a dysfunctional back-woods family – dad (Lennie James) isa brute, and mom (Viola Davis) prettymuch flees for her life – and it goes rightup to the period when the internationalstar is starting to lose his mind. But thefilm is constructed in a scattershot mat-ter. It jumps around in time, visiting andrevisiting different points in his life anddifferent people at those points, withoutletting us comprehend what’s going on inhis head at any given time.

Chadwick Boseman, who’s beenknocking around on various TV seriesfor the past decade but hit gold embody-ing Jackie Robinson last year in “42,”and added great support as Vontae Macka few months ago in “Draft Day,” doesn’treally look much like James Brown inany of his various hairstyles. But he’s gotboth the moods and the moves of the mandown.

Unfortunately, Boseman also goesfor and gets Brown’s sometimes unin-telligible bursts of barking out wordswhen he’s upset. But that goes with thepackage.

Of the people acting around him, ev-eryone does it right, but two really standout: Nelsan Ellis (“True Blood”) as Bob-by Byrd, his friend and bandmate turnedbackground singer, and Dan Aykroyd ashis longtime agent Ben Bart.

But never mind the acting. Thisshould have been a film that dug deepinto Brown’s life, and pulled out mo-ments that led to him becoming assuccessful and influential as history sayshe was.

There’s not really a lot about his influ-ence here, but it’s explained that he madea lot of money, could pump up a crowd,and alienated the musicians in his band.But though it covers a lot of ground, thescript skirts over too many situationsand issues. And it completely ignores theyounger viewers that it should go out ofits way to educate and inform.

No one under 30 is going to realizethat the man named Richard (BrandonSmith) who for a very brief period takesyoung James under his wing and offershim advice is Little Richard, as beyondthe performance of a song, he’s nevereven introduced.

And the scriptwriters either didn’t dotheir research on an important subject,or just got it wrong.

Their presentation of significant

events that happened right after the 1968assassination of Martin Luther King arecompletely misconstrued here.

King was killed on April 4, and Brownhad a concert scheduled at the BostonGarden on April 5. The day was saved,and violence was avoided, not as the filmpurports, because the concert went on orbecause Brown calmed down the crowd,but because Boston Mayor Kevin Whitegot a local TV station (WGBH) to broad-cast the concert live, keeping people athome, watching it on TV rather thanbeing out in the streets.

Yet there are plenty of other events,some of them less important, othersunderdeveloped, tossed into the film thatpad it rather than propel the story.

The stylistic choice of presenting allof this information in jumps and starts,and flitting back and forth in time, mighthave sounded like a good idea, and evenmade some sense on the written page.But despite the creative approach of thefilmmakers, and a lengthy 138-minuterunning time, we get only a series ofsnapshots rather than a cohesive pictureof the man’s life.

After watching the film, I still don’tknow the James Brown story.

• “Get On Up” is written by Jez Butter-worth and John-Henry Butterworth anddirected by Tate Taylor. The film starsChadwick Boseman, Nelsan Ellis, DanAykroyd, Lennie James and Viola Davis.It is rated PG-13.
