JOLIET – A grassroots cit-izens group filed petitions bythe required Monday deadlineto place a ballot initiative be-fore voters that calls for thepolitical restructuring of theJoliet City Council.

The city clerk’s office re-ceived the petition about 1:15p.m. Monday.

The group, ConcernedCitizens of Joliet, wants tochange the current City Coun-cil structure from five districtseats and three at-large seats– a format that has been in

place since the 1950s – to eightdistrict seats.

The group maintains thatmixed district and at-largerepresentation does not ac-curately or fairly reflect thecity’s geography and popula-tion because too many councilmembers reside in the samepart of town.

Those opposed to the ideahave cited several reasons fornot changing, including thatas of right now, residents canvote for five of the nine peopleon the council, whereas thenew proposal would drop thatto two people.

The group needed 1,500 sig-

natures to place the issue onthe Nov. 4 ballot. While Mon-day was the last day to file pe-titions, Aug. 11 is the last dayto file objections to the peti-tions.

If no one objects, the ques-tion needs to be submitted bythe city to the Will CountyClerk’s office by Aug. 28 to geton the ballot.

In its current form, thereferendum question will be:“Shall The City of Joliet bedivided into Eight Districtswith one Council Person to beelected from each District, butwith the Mayor to be electedfrom the City At Large.”

3COVER STORY

JOLIET – The shoes werethe first thing Officer BrianLanton saw when the dooropened.

Then he saw the rest of thebody.

Lanton testified Mondayin the trial of Bethany McK-ee, who, along with Joshua

M i n e r a n dA d a m L a n d -erman, is ac-cused of kill-ing TerrenceRankins andEric Glover ,both 22, on Jan.10, 2013, in theHickory Streetr e s i d e n c e o f

her friend, Alisa Massaro.L a n t o n s a i d t h e s e c -

ond-floor apartment wherethe deaths occurred has akitchenette at the door bythe stairs, which he and Offi-cer Bruce Trevillian openedJan. 10, 2013, to see “a pair ofAir Jordans, soles up, on thefeet of a body ... laying on thekitchenette floor.”

Lanton testified the man’sbody had been set on blackplastic garbage bags and aplastic shopping bag hadbeen placed over the victim’shead. Looking down the hall,the officers could see anothervictim laying on a bedroomfloor, also with a plastic bagon his head.

“I then encountered an in-dividual in the back bedroomsitting on a couch smokinga cigarette,” Trevillian tes-tified. When the officer or-dered him to stand up andshow his hands, Joshua Min-er told him “he’d killed theguy in the kitchen and Adam[Landerman] killed the guyin the bedroom,” Trevilliansaid.

Prosecutors have saidMcKee and Alisa Massarolured the men to the 1100block of North Hickory Street

with plans to rob them of mon-ey and drugs. Landerman andMiner allegedly strangled thevictims to death.

All four suspects wereinitially charged with mur-der, but Massaro agreed toplead guilty to lesser chargesand testify against the oth-ers. She was sentenced to 10years in prison for robberyand concealing a homicide.

Landerman and Miner areawaiting separate trials.

Officer Michael DeVi-to testified Monday that hesearched the basement andsaw Landerman’s feet stick-ing out from behind somewooden paneling proppedbehind a doorway. DeVitosaid Landerman ignored hiscommands to come out untilanother officer came to backhim up.

“He turned toward mewith a grin on his face,” De-Vito said.

Assistant Will County

State’s Attorney Tricia McK-enna said Monday that McK-ee “desperately needed mon-ey” after being kicked out ofher parents’ house. Rankinshad purchased alcohol forthe women before and theysaw he had “a large amountof cash,” McKenna said.

Rankins arrived withhis friend, Eric Glover, “ex-pecting to party with” the

two women, but at a pre-ar-ranged signal between them,the women left the room andMiner and Landerman at-tacked, McKenna said.

“Bethany saw and heardTerrence Rankins ask ...‘Why are you doing this tome?’ and did nothing,” McK-enna told Judge Gerald Kin-ney.

The robbers allegedly got

$120 they planned to use forgas, cigarettes and cocaine.

Defense attorney ChuckBretz said there is no physi-cal evidence McKee was in-volved in killing Glover andRankins and she was merelypresent at the scene of thecrime.

“[McKee] could’ve beencharged with obstructingjustice or concealing a homi-cide,” but did not aid in thefatal robbery, Bretz said.

Police went to Massaro’shouse because of a policedispatch call made by Betha-ny’s father that was played incourt Monday. On the tape,William McKee asked for anofficer to come to his housebecause he had informationthat Bethany was involved ina serious crime and hoped hewas “doing the right thing.”

“She came to me and [said]there are two black malesdead in a bathtub upstairsand ... need my help to showher and the others how to cutup bodies,” William McKeesaid during the call.

Nicole Jones, Eric Glov-er’s mother, left the court-room with tears in her eyesafter the call was played.

The trial’s first witnesswas McKee’s school friendJennifer Ortega who wasquestioned for more than anhour about a Facebook con-versation they had a week be-fore the Jan. 10, 2013, slayingsin which McKee wanted sug-gestions on how to get money.

The trial is scheduled tocontinue Tuesday.

Preservationists make case against IllianaBy FELIX SARVER

[email protected]

WILMINGTON – Gary Sul-livan considers the MidewinNational Tallgrass Prairiea unique place with ecosys-tems that cannot be foundanywhere else in the world.

It’s also a place that Sul-livan, senior ecologist withThe Wetlands Initiative,along with several other en-vironmental group leaders,said is being threatened bythe proposed Illiana Express-way toll road project. Thoseleaders said the highwaywould run along the southborder of the tallgrass prai-rie and adversely impact theecosystem and continuing re-storative efforts.

The Illiana Expresswayproject is a four-lane high-way that would run betweenInterstate 65 near Lowell, In-diana, and Interstate 55 nearWilimington, where Midewinis located. The expected costof the project is $1.3 billion,with funding provided by Il-linois, Indiana and privateinvestors.

On Monday, Sullivan gave

local media a tour of severalhabitats to explain the vir-tues of Midewin. Also alongfor the tour were membersof Openlands and ChicagoWilderness, as were Envi-ronmental Law and PolicyCenter attorneys, who arerepresenting several envi-ronmental groups in lawsuitsto stop the Illiana Express-way development.

At one area that was re-stored from farmland after

more than a decade, Sullivansaid the variety of plant spe-cies can be different from sea-son to season. He said it’s themost diverse of the prairierestorations done thus far.

“This is sort of like anexample of the promise ofMidewin. This is what can behere,” he said.

The roughly 20,000-acre siteis on the former Joliet ArmyAmmunition Plant whereTNT was once produced for

the U.S. Army, according tothe United States Forest Ser-vice, which administers Mide-win. The site mostly consistsof wet prairie, grassland, tall-grass prairie and some savan-na. The land also is home tomore than 100 bird species,600 plants, 27 mammal and 53fish species.

Howard Learner, exec-utive director of the Envi-ronmental Law and PolicyCenter, said the Illiana Ex-pressway would impact theecosystem by having a toll-way run along the southernboundary. A tollway alsowould increase the heavyamounts of truck traffic al-ready happening in WillCounty.

“ [ I t w o u l d ] t a k e t h eamount of heavy trucks thatare going today and put it onsteroids,” he said.

Environmental Law andPolicy Center attorneys arerepresenting Sierra Club,Openlands and Midewin Her-itage Association in two law-suits against the Illiana Ex-pressway project.

One lawsuit filed last yearchallenges a Tier 1 environ-

mental impact study done bythe Federal Highway Admin-istration and urges them toreconsider the environmen-tal impact of the proposedtollway on lands such asMidewin.

Andrew Armstrong, an En-vironmental Law and PolicyCenter staff attorney, said thecenter hopes court decisionsregarding the lawsuits aremade by the end of the year.

Midewin is teeming withlife and the wetlands in ithave numerous birds andother species, said StacyMeyers, Openlands policycoordinator. Some of the birdspecies that would be impact-ed by the Illiana Expresswayinclude the growing popula-tion of Henslow’s sparrows,which nest along Route 53,she said.

“Having the safe refuge forall these species that wouldhave no place other than here… yes that’s important,” shesaid. “But the people thatcome here. It’s also importantto us. It’s important to peoplein our region to have thisand to be able to understandthis.”

Hurtado subpoenaed to testify before grand juryBy VIKAAS [email protected]

PLAINFIELD – PlainfieldTownship Park District Com-missioner Peter Hurtado saidhe has been served with a sub-poena to appear before a grandjury to testify on allegations heused the park district for hisown financial benefit.

The grand jury hearingis scheduled to take placeWednesday afternoon at theWill County Court Annexbuilding, 57 N. Ottawa St.

Hurtado said he was servedthe subpoena at his home Fri-day by Illinois State Police. Apolice sergeant told him thesubpoena was “in regards tothe allegations.”

“I’m looking forward tothe grand jury,” Hurtado said,maintaining that the allega-tions were false. “I’ll go overthere and tell the truth. Afterthey hear what I have to say,they will know the truth.”

On Jan. 29,park districtVice PresidentJanet Siloskypublicly shareda s e r i e s o fevents that im-plicated Hurta-do in a schemet o s e l l L E Dlights from hisown business to the park dis-trict.

Silosky’s account includesmeetings between her, Hur-

tado, Director of Communi-cations Doug Booth, Com-missioner Peter Steinys andformer Executive DirectorGarrett Peck that suggest Hur-tado directed purchases to bemade from a company calledJosue Solis & Associates.

According to invoices ob-tained by The Herald-News,the purchases include one HighBay 120-watt LED light set for$475 on Dec. 12 through Peck’spark district credit card.

A larger order of eight lightsfor $3,800 was bought from thebusiness Jan. 8, via PayPal onparks maintenance employeeJoe Masters’ district creditcard. But a full refund was is-sued Jan. 16 for that order.

Another invoice was sent

by the company for 16 lightsfor $7,600, but no transactionoccurred, according to parkdistrict documents.

Silosky said Josue Solis isthe name of Hurtado’s daugh-ter’s boyfriend. And that com-pany appears to not exist any-more.

Hurtado denied any wrong-doing after Silosky revealedthe narrative and immediatelycalled for an investigation intothe allegations.

The office of Will Coun-ty State’s Attorney JamesGlasgow launched an inves-tigation into the allegations,which the state police acceptedFeb. 25.

According to filings con-nected with the case found on

the Will County Circuit Courtwebsite, there was a motionFeb. 25 to appoint a grand juryinvestigator.

There was another motionto appoint a grand jury investi-gator June 10.

Will County State’s Attor-ney spokesman Charles Pelkiedeclined to confirm or com-ment on the grand jury inves-tigation. But said a grand jurymeets in 12-week periods onWednesdays.

“I’m glad that the investi-gation is moving forward,”park district President MaryKay Ludemann said. “I lookforward to everything beingresolved so the park districtdoesn’t have this hanging overits head.”

Route 66 historian says trucktraffic threatens Mother Road


The mounting truck trafficcongestion – specifically onRoute 53 – in Will County hasRoute 66 historian John Weissworried.

The “nature and majesty”of the historic Mother Road –Route 53 coincides with Route66 in parts of Will County – isthreatened by 18-wheelerscoming to and from the nearbytrucking intermodals in Jolietand Elwood, Weiss wrote in aletter he sent to the village ofElwood last week.

“Route 53, from Joliet toWilmington, … deserves bet-ter treatment. This stretch ofroad serves as the gateway toHistoric Route 66, where themetropolitan landscape givesway to idyllic and quaint com-munities,” Weiss wrote inthe letter. “Unfortunately forvisitors and tourists – manyof whom are traveling fromoverseas and visiting the U.S.for the first time – their firstimpression of small-townAmerica is appalling and dis-appointing.”

Weiss, who serves on theRoute 66 Association of Illinois’preservation committee, toldThe Herald-News on Friday hewas asked to write the letter insupport of the village, but saidhis message is his own wordsand is sincere.

Tourist dollars will be lost if

nothing is done, Weiss said.“Words spread quickly

with social media. Of course,tourists are going to hit Chica-go. World-class city. But fromthere, they have a choice: Ei-ther get on I-55 and bypass allthis or come down into Jolietand through all this conges-tion,” Weiss said. “I, myself, I’dbypass it.”

Weiss said he’s concernedabout how effective the coun-ty’s plans will be in trans-forming the area just southof Interstate 80 stretching toBraidwood into a tourist mag-net for Route 66 visitors. Itwon’t happen as long as conges-tion continues, he said.

County Executive LarryWalsh said plans are movingforward with the Illinois 53 cor-ridor, with congestion beingpart of the discussion.

“We are continuously work-ing on trying to find solutions,”Walsh said. “We never intend-ed truck traffic to be that heavyon Route 53.”

Jacque Engle, spokeswom-an for CenterPoint Properties,the developer of the two inter-modals, said in an email re-sponse the increase in trucksalong Route 53 and WalterStrawn Drive also is becauseof Elwood’s decision severalyears ago to institute an over-weight truck permit program.

“Elwood profited handsome-ly from it,” Engle said in theemail. “It’s estimated the Vil-

lage collected several milliondollars in new fees. In truth,Elwood’s own programs havealso accelerated the growth oftrucks on Route 53.”

Elwood only sells approx-imately 5,000 overweight per-mits per year and allows (up to)350 trucks per day, accordingto an email response from thevillage via Scott Burnham, thevillage’s spokesman.

“The danger to HistoricRoute 66 tourist is not [350]overweight grain trucks trav-eling, between a grain eleva-tor ...” the email states. “Thedanger to the Historic IllinoisRoute 66 tourist is the [10,000]trucks per day created by theCenterPoint development.”

In addition, the overweighttruck permit money has a verystrict and limited use, the emailstates.

The best long-term solutionto removing trucks from Route53 would be to build a bridgefrom Interstate 80 and HouboltRoad, Engle said. That wouldprovide direct, shorter andmore efficient access, she said.

Walsh said he’s been intalks with CenterPoint, UnionPacific, the state’s transpor-tation department and othergovernmental bodies about thepossibility of creating an I-80/Houbolt Road interchange.Where the funding will comefrom is unknown, but Walshsaid there needs to be a com-mitment from all parties.

Afternoon accident onI-55 leaves one injuredJOLIET – A driver was injured in

an accidentMonday afternoonwhen the semitrailer theyweredriving rolled over, Illinois StatePolice officials said.At 4:23 p.m.Monday, a semi-

trailer heading south on Interstate55 near Interstate 80 rolled overon its side, authorities said. Thedriver inside suffered one injuryandwas sent to Saint JosephMedical Center in Joliet, accord-ing to Illinois State Police.The accident is still under inves-

tigation by ISP.

second individual charged in con-nectionwith a June 19 incidentwhen a 22-year-oldmanwas seton fire.Joseph Taylor, 18, of the 1300

By Damian Wexler,

Freelance Health Reporter

Recently, alternative medicine expert Bryce

Wylde, a frequent guest on the Dr. Oz show,revealed a simple secret that amazed millions whosufer with digestion nightmares. And people haven’tstopped talking about it since.

“I’d give anything to make it stop!”hat’s what most people will tell you when asked

about their digestive problems. “It’s just horrible saysRalph Burns, a former digestion victim. I was torturedfor years by my Acid-Relux. Sometimes I’d almostpass out from the pain. My wife sufers with digestionproblems too. If she eats one wrong thing, she spendshours stuck in the bathroomdealing with severe boutsof constipation or diarrhea.”

FDA Warns About Popular AntacidsA recent FDAwarning explained that excessive use of

antacids could lead to an increased risk of hip, wrist, andspine fractures. Especially in people over the age of 50.

So when alternative medicine expert BryceWylde discussed an alternative on National TV, youcan imagine how thrilled people were to ind outthey could inally get relief without having to rely onPrevecid®, Nexium®, Prilosec® and other dangerousproton pump inhibitors. But now, according toWylde,your stomach problems could be over by simplydrinking a small amount of a tasty Aloe Vera extract.It’s as simple as that!

Finally There’s Hope...At irst, the thought of drinking aloe vera might

make some people back away. But in fact, thisdelicious “digestion cocktail” is doing amazing thingsfor people who sufer with stomach problems --- evenif they’ve had them for years. Here’s how it works…

Stop Stomach AgonyYour stomach naturally produces acid so strong, it

can dissolve an aluminum spoon in just 30 minutes!And when excess acid escapes into your esophagus,throat and stomach lining, it unleashes the scorchingpain of Acid-Relux, heartburn, ulcers and moremisery. Add the problems of stress, and “all heckbreaks loose.”

Dr. Liza Leal, a well known expert on chronic painmanagement explains... “he AloeCure® can workgenuine miracles. It bufers high acid levels withamazing speed. So your stomach feels completely atease just moments after drinking it.” In fact, it couldwipe out stomach pain, discomfort, and frantic runsto the bathroom.

Until Now, Little Could Be Done...But “AloeCure® can help virtually anyone. Even

people with chronic stomach pain can feel betterright away,” says Dr. Leal. And what’s really exciting isAloeCure® aids in keeping your digestive tract healthy,so intestinal distress stops coming back.

As Ralph Burns goes on to say, “I know AloeCure®

never claimed tobea substitute fordrug storeproductsand is only meant to be a helpful supplement. Nowthough, AloeCure® is the only product I need for all mydigestion issues”

DigestionDefender #1:Balances

Here’s What Doctors Are Saying!AloeCure® is backed by important scientiic studies

that conirm... aloe calms stomach acid and allowsyour body to heal itself.

Dr. Liza Leal, M.D & Chief Medical Oicer atMeridian Medical. says, “hat’s why I recommend itto patients who sufer from bouts of heartburn, Acid-Relux, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome...”

Dr. Santiago Rodriguez agrees. “Just two ounces ofAloeCure® reduces theacids in your stomachby ten times.”

Francisco DeWeever, a Certiied NutritionalMicroscopist, “My patients report their IBS, Crohn’s,Colitis, Constipation, Acid-Relux and a host of otherdigestive problems have all but disappeared.”

After conducting an unpaid investigation aboutAloeCure® claims and success stories, Bryce Wyldecommented that pure Aloe Vera extract like AloeCure®

KANKAKEE – The IllinoisCommission on the Elimina-tion of Poverty has scheduleda public hearing for Thursdayin Kankakee where membershope to gather people fromGrundy, Kankake and Willcounties to give testimony onIllinois’ poverty issues.

“In the past we have urgedpeople impacted by poverty,or organizations that are ad-dressing poverty to attend ourpublic hearings,” said KimDrew, project manager of Eco-nomic Security Policy withHeartland Alliance for HumanNeeds and Human Rights.

“We want to know whatpoverty looks like in theKankakee and surroundingareas like Grundy and Willcounties.”

The Illinois Commissionon the Elimination of Pover-ty is an organization focusedon the elimination of povertyin Illinois in a manner con-sistent with internationalhuman rights standards, ac-cording to its website www.poverty.illinois.gov.

The commission is work-ing to implement a PovertyElimination Strategy, whichaims to cut in half the numberof people in Illinois who livein extreme poverty.

The commission will re-

flect on advances made overthe last year, and seek inputfrom the public.

“When we fail to adequate-ly prevent the issues sur-rounding extreme poverty,the cost to taxpayers is muchhigher than if we actually pro-vide real solutions for the peo-ple,” Grundy County HousingAuthority CEO Brent New-man said. “Sometimes I thinkpeople believe their voicesdon’t matter, but perhaps theidea they share is a reallygood one; it could change thelives of thousands of people. Ihope both the local and publicagencies will attend.”

The group is requestingtestimony related to the prog-ress made by the state in re-ducing extreme poverty, aswell as suggestions for specif-ic policy solutions the stateshould advance in the comingyear.

Forest Preserve: Residents starting tocomply with encroachment violations


So far, so good.That’s what Marcy DeMau-

ro, executive director for theForest Preserve District of WillCounty, is saying about the re-sponse received following thedistrict’s decision earlier thisyear to crack down on propertyowners illegally using publicland.

“So far, there’s been prettydarn good compliance overall.It’s going as best as can be ex-pected,” DeMauro said Friday.

This spring, the districtsurveyed boundaries along 12of its 82 preserves. Officialsdiscovered 214 encroach-ments, most of which werehomeowners mowing, whileothers dumped trash, or builtpermanent structures, gar-dens or fencing.

The first round of letterswere sent out in June, inform-ing property owners they wereencroaching. In some instanc-es, DeMauro said staff has been

working with those who mayneed more time getting rid ofpermanent structures. For ex-ample, she said, one HomerGlen homeowner caught hav-ing built a wooden boat pier ondistrict land – with an accom-panied “No Trespassing” sign– was recently given a 60-dayextension to tear it down.

So far, no citations havebeen given out, DeMauro said,but that could change once ad-ditional letters are sent out andthe district still hasn’t heardfrom residents or the deadlineextensions lapse.

“Our intent in all this wasnot to be punitive. We wantedto give people plenty of notice,”DeMauro said. “Our intent wasto see these changes happen.”

Some homeowners in Jo-liet’s River Glen subdivisionare still having difficulty ad-justing to the changes withtheir backyards abutting thedistrict’s Hammel Woods pre-serve just north of Black Road.Many had been mowing dis-trict land for several years until

the district acquired HammelWoods in 2010, so the changeshave been jarring for some.

“It’s been a hard transitionfor people who like to havetheir lawns manicured downthe hill,” said Glen Gornik,who lives in the River Glensubdivision. “It’s tough to getused to.”

Upon hearing complaintsfrom residents that the districtdidn’t mow the grass frequent-ly enough, the district agreedearlier this summer to mow theboundaries every two weeks.

But even that hasn’t satis-fied everyone.

Ken Rakowski, 78, saidwhen the district staff mowedabout a week ago – as promised– they left “a mess of debris”along the edges of a drainageditch located behind Rakows-ki’s home.

“To me, it looks terri-ble. This water doesn’t flow.There’s scum along the edg-es,” Rakowski said. “It attractsmosquitoes big enough to carryyou away.”

JOLIET – A teenager wasarrested Friday after he al-legedly told police he wouldgo on a shooting spree at theWill County Courthouse.

Kevin E. Martin, 19, ofthe first block of East Clin-ton Street, was arrested oncharges of disorderly con-duct. He is being held on $1.5million bond.

According to reports, Mar-tin has had several previousrun-ins with police and calledthe sheriff’s investigationoffice about 11 a.m. when hespoke to a secretary, accord-ing to Will County Sheriff’sDeputy Chief Ken Kaupas.

“He made some disparag-ing remarks and threats toher, then said ‘I’ll shoot youand while I’m at it, I’ll shootup the whole courthouse,’ ”Kaupas said.

Kaupas said the secretary,a former dispatcher, askedMartin why he was so angryand he said he “just hated po-

lice.”Detectives were able to get

the phone number for the calland trace it back to Martin,who was located Friday nighton the north side of Chicago,Kaupas said. He had no fire-arms with him when he wasarrested.

Kaupas said deputies pro-vided additional security forjudges and state’s attorneyemployees leaving their offic-es Friday afternoon.

“We took the threat veryseriously and are grateful thesheriff’s department actedimmediately,” Judge JohnAnderson said. “I think thisunderscores the importanceof improving security mea-sures in the 50-year-old court-house.”

The courthouse has met-al detectors, X-ray machinesand sheriff’s deputies at theentrance. Courthouse person-nel recently have been attend-ing mandatory training ses-sions – the most recent washeld Friday – if an “activeshooter” attacked.

Coal City saving funds to renovate Broadway StreetBy JESSICA [email protected]

COAL CITY – The villageof Coal City will begin savingfunds for a future project torenovate Broadway Street.

The village will need tocome up with $400,000 by 2018in order to receive $2 millionin federal grant money thatwill be put toward the Broad-way restoration project, CoalCity Administrator MattFritz said.

The Broadway improve-

ments will stretch fromRoute 113 to the BNSF rail-road track, but actual con-struction on the project won’tbegin for at least five years,Fritz said.

“This is going to be a com-plete reconstruction of Broad-way. There’s going to be anew layout,” Fritz said. “Thisalso complies with the phaseone analysis included in ourcomprehensive plan that wasadopted this past spring.”

The $2 million will beawarded through the Will

C o u n t y G o v e r n m e n t a lLeague, a federally-fundedplanning organization thathelps municipalities plan andfinance their transportationimprovement projects.

Coal City is located mostlyin Grundy County, but a por-tion is located in Will County.The governmental league isallotted money from the fed-eral government, which itdivides among its municipalmembers, or those that belongto the organization through amembership.

“If you don’t belong to an[metropolitan planning or-ganization], you have to godown to the state and competewith everyone else for fund-ing,” Fritz said. “But we’re amember so we have to com-pete within their pool of mem-bers.”

Mayor Neal Nelson saidmoving forward with Broad-way restoration has been alongtime goal for the village,but it struggled to find thefunding.

Recently, Coal City re-

ceived a $100,000 grant to com-plete the engineering phaseof the project. By completingthat engineering, the villageis now eligible for the govern-mental league’s transporta-tion funding.

“We’ll be able to get on thelist now to receive the feder-al funding through the WillCounty Government League,”Nelson said.

Coal City has been a mem-ber of the Will County Gov-ernmental League since 2007,when Nelson took office.

Coal City sewer project estimated to cost more than expectedBy JESSICA [email protected]

COAL CITY – Bids for aproject connecting PrairieOaks subdivision to CoalCity’s sanitation plant camein about $230,000 higher thanexpected, prompting furtherdelays in the project timeline.

The subdivision’s currentsewage plant is not workingproperly because of problemsin its original construction.The defunct plant is causing

health and sanitary issues forhomeowners.

The Illinois Environmen-tal Protection Agency issueda mandate to fix the problem,which will involve connectingthe homes to Coal City’s mainsewage plant and decommis-sioning the subdivision’s cur-rent lift station.

But it appears connect-ing the subdivision to CoalCity’s sanitary system will bemore costly than originallyplanned, according to the bids

the village received.“Those were much more

expensive than we expected sowe’re going to try and re-bidthe project,” Coal City Admin-istrator Matt Fritz said. “Thelift station project was notincluded in this bid, so we’regoing to try including that por-tion of the project this time.”

Currently, the village ofCoal City, Prairie Oaks resi-dents and state grants are con-tributing most of the moneyneeded to complete the nearly

$1 million project.Coal City was awarded a

$329,000 community blockgrant from the state in 2011 tohelp pay for the project.

The remaining $596,000will be funded during the next10 years through a propertytax agreement between thehomeowners and the village.

The deadline to spend thegrant money is coming up thisSeptember, which means thevillage needs to file for a grantextension since the next set of

bids likely won’t be acceptedand approved by that time.

“We will need to file an ex-tension, because obviously,with the numbers we’ve got,the board does not feel com-fortable moving forward withthis yet,” Coal City MayorNeal Nelson said Wednesday.

Despite the unexpectedhigh costs, Fritz said he isconfident that Prairie Oakswill eventually be connectedto the village’s main sewerplant.

By DOUGLASS K. DANIELThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON – A majortrait that endeared Jim Bradyto the Washington press corpswas his sense of humor, espe-cially when he made fun of hisown boss.

When Ronald Reagan wascampaigning for president in1980, Reagan drew scorn fromenvironmentalists for sayingthat trees were a greater sourceof pollution than cars. Aboardthe campaign plane, Bradypointed at a forest fire in thedistance and yelled, “Killertrees! Killer trees!” to the greatamusement of reporters.

After the election, Reagan’sadvisers appeared hesitantto appoint Brady press secre-tary. Nancy Reagan was saidto feel the job required some-one younger and better-lookingthan the 40-year-old, moon-faced, balding Brady.

“I come before you today notas just another pretty face butout of sheer talent,” Brady toldreporters. A week later, he gotthe job.

Brady, who died Mon-day at 73, would need humorand much more after March30, 1981. On that day JohnHinckley Jr. attempted to as-sassinate Reagan outside theWashington Hilton Hotel justtwo months into the new pres-ident’s term. Reagan nearlydied from a chest wound. Threeothers, including Brady, werestruck by bullets from Hinck-ley’s handgun.

Shot in the head, Bradylived through hours of delicatesurgery and then many moreoperations over the years. Buthe never recovered the normaluse of his limbs and was oftenin a wheelchair. Besides partialparalysis from brain damage,he suffered short-term memo-ry impairment, slurred speechand constant pain.

Still, along with his wife,Sarah, he went on to becomethe face and as much as possi-ble the voice of the gun-controlmovement in the United States.A federal law requiring back-ground checks for handgunbuyers bears his name, as doesthe White House press briefingroom.

Mrs. Reagan, the formerfirst lady, said Monday shewas “deeply saddened to learn

of Jim Brady’s passing today.Thinking of him brings back somany memories – happy andsad – of a time in all of our liveswhen we learned what it meansto ‘play the hand we’re dealt.’”

The lasting public image ofBrady came from the worst dayof his life. A news clip of the1981 shooting, replayed oftenon television and in documen-taries, showed him sprawledon the sidewalk after severalSecret Service agents had hus-tled the wounded presidentinto his limousine and othershad pounced on Hinckley.

Although Brady returned tothe White House only briefly,a year after the shooting, hewas allowed to keep the title ofpresidential press secretary –and the $89,500 annual salaryas assistant to the president forpress relations – until Reaganleft office.

The TV replays did take atoll on Brady. He told The Asso-ciated Press years later that herelived the moment each time.

“I want to take every bit of[that] film ... and put them ina cement incinerator, sloshthem with gasoline and throwa lighted cigarette in,” he said.

Officials at St. ElizabethsHospital in Washington, whereHinckley is a patient, have saidthat the mental illness that ledhim to shoot Reagan in an ef-

fort to impress actress JodieFoster has been in remissionfor decades.

Brady was a strong Repub-lican from an early age. As aboy of 12 in Centralia, Illinois,where he was born on Aug. 29,1940, he distributed electionliterature for Dwight D. Eisen-hower.

In a long string of politicaljobs, Brady worked for Sen.Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois,Sen. William V. Roth Jr. of Del-aware and John Connally, theformer Texas governor whoran for president in 1979. WhenConnally dropped out, Bradyjoined Reagan’s campaign asdirector of public affairs andresearch.

Previously, he had workedin the administrations of Pres-idents Richard Nixon and Ger-ald Ford: as special assistant tothe secretary of Housing andUrban Development, as specialassistant to the director of theOffice of Management and Bud-get, and as an assistant to thedefense secretary.

He was divorced from theformer Sue Beh when, in 1973,he courted Sarah Jane Kemp,the daughter of an FBI agentwho was working with him ina congressional office.

Sarah Brady became in-volved in gun-control effortsin 1985, and later chaired

Handgun Control Inc., butBrady took a few more yearsto join her, and Reagan did notendorse their efforts until 10years after he was shot. Rea-gan’s surprise endorsement– he was a longtime NationalRifle Association member andan opponent of gun controllaws – helped turn the tide inCongress.

“They’re not going to accusehim of being some bed-wettingliberal, no way can they dothat,” said Brady, who had be-come an active lobbyist for thebill.

The Brady law required afive-day wait and backgroundcheck before a handgun canbe sold. In November 1993, asPresident Bill Clinton signedthe bill into law, Brady said:“Every once in a while, youneed to wake up and smell thepropane. I needed to be hit inthe head before I started hittingthe bricks.”

At the time of the 30th an-niversary of the shooting, theBradys told NPR they were nolonger Republicans. “Timeschange,” Sarah Brady said.

President Barack Obamadescribed Brady as a WhiteHouse legend, who turned “theevents of that terrible after-noon into a remarkable legacyof service.” Thanks to Bradyand the law bearing his name,

“an untold number of peopleare alive today who otherwisewouldn’t be,” the presidentsaid in a statement.

Dan Gross, president of theBrady Campaign to PreventGun Violence, said in a state-ment that because of Brady’swork on gun control “there arefew Americans in history whoare as directly responsible forsaving as many lives as Jim.”In its own statement, the Na-tional Rifle Association said itextended “heartfelt condolenc-es” to Brady’s family.

Clinton awarded Brady thePresidential Medal of Freedomin 1996. In 2000, the press brief-ing room at the White Housewas renamed in his honor.The following year, HandgunControl Inc. was renamed theBrady Campaign to PreventGun Violence.

Clinton said Monday thatBrady “transformed his ownpersonal tragedy into an oppor-tunity to inspire change – formore than three decades heand Sarah encouraged all of usto create a more just and securenation, free from handgun vio-lence.”

The men and women whoalso stood at the podium fac-ing the press corps describedBrady as a “friend and men-tor,” a “selfless public servant,”and a man who did his job withthe “highest integrity.”

“Jim Brady defined the roleof the modern White Housepress secretary,” said currentWhite House Press SecretaryJosh Earnest and former presssecretaries Jay Carney, Rob-ert Gibbs, Dana Perino, ScottMcClellan, Ari Fleischer, JakeSiewert, Joe Lockhart, MikeMcCurry, Dee Dee Myers, Mar-lin Fitzwater, and Ron Nessen.

Brady also served as vicechair of the National Organiza-tion on Disability and co-chairof the National Head InjuryFoundation.

Brady died in Alexandria,Virginia. Survivors include hiswife; a son, Scott; and a daugh-ter, Melissa.

“We are heartbroken toshare the news that our be-loved Jim “Bear” Brady haspassed away after a series ofhealth issues,” Brady’s familysaid in a statement. It said theywere “so thankful to have hadthe opportunity to say theirfarewells.”

1Illinois lawmakerpleads guilty infederal court

CHICAGO – An Illinois lawmak-er who faced nearly 20 federalbank-fraud charges that couldhave landed him in prison for de-cades pleaded guilty Monday toa single misdemeanor tax countfor shortchanging the InternalRevenue Service of $3,700.As part of a plea deal, which

prosecutors didn’t immediatelyexplain, state Rep. LaShawn Fordpleaded guilty to one count ofdelivering a false federal incometax return for 2007. The ChicagoDemocrat had initially pleadednot guilty to far more seriouscharges that each carried sen-tences of up to $1 million in finesand 30 years in prison.But federal prosecutors said

Monday they would dismissall the felony counts at Ford’ssentencing on Nov. 11. Themisdemeanor charge carries amaximum sentence of one yearin prison and a $100,000 fine.Ford originally faced eight

felony counts of bank fraud andnine counts of submitting falseinformation to the bank. A felonyconviction would have resultedin Ford losing his seat in theIllinois Legislature.“This is a tremendous result,”

Ford’s attorney, Thomas Durkin,said after the hearing in Chicago.“[The plea deal] permits him ...to get on with his life.”

percent in the past five years– after adjusting for inflation –according to an Associated Pressanalysis of data from the AirlinesReporting Corp., which processesticket transactions for airlinesand more than 9,400 travelagencies, including websitessuch as Expedia and Orbitz.The formula for rising fares

seems simple, but it eluded theairlines for years: Match thesupply of seats to passengerdemand.These days, fares only capture

U.S. government had role inEbola drug given aidworkers

By MARILYNN MARCHIONEThe Associated Press

Two American aid workers

infected with Ebola are get-

ting an experimental drug so

novel it has never been tested

for safety in humans and was

only identified as a potential

treatment earlier this year,

thanks to a longstanding re-

search program by the U.S.

government and the military.

The workers, Nancy Write-

bol and Dr. Kent Brantly,

are improving, although it’s

impossible to know whether

the treatment is the reason or

they are recovering on their

own, as others who have sur-

vived Ebola have done.

Brantly is being treated

at a special isolation unit at

Atlanta’s Emory University

Hospital, and Writebol was

expected to be flown there

Tuesday in the same specially

equipped plane that brought

Brantly.

They were infected while

working in Liberia, one of

four West African nations

dealing with the world’s larg-

est Ebola outbreak.

On Monday, the World

Health Organization said the

death toll had increased from

729 to 887 deaths in Guinea, Si-

erra Leone, Liberia and Nige-

ria, and that more than 1,600

people have been infected.

In a worrisome develop-

ment, the Nigerian Health

Minister said a doctor who

had helped treat Patrick Saw-

yer, the Liberian-American

man who died July 25 days

after arriving in Nigeria, has

been confirmed to have the

deadly disease.

Tests are pending for three

other people who also treat-

ed Sawyer and are showing

symptoms.

There is no vaccine or spe-

cific treatment for Ebola, but

several are under develop-

ment.

The experimental treat-

ment the U.S. aid workers are

getting is called ZMapp and

is made by Mapp Biopharma-

ceutical Inc. of San Diego. Itis aimed at boosting the im-mune system’s efforts to fightoff Ebola and is made from an-tibodies produced by lab an-imals exposed to parts of thevirus.

In a statement, the com-pany said it was workingwith LeafBio of San Diego,Defyrus Inc. of Toronto, theU.S. government and the Pub-lic Health Agency of Canadaon development of the drug,which was identified as a pos-sible treatment in January.

The statement said verylittle of the drug is availableand they are “cooperatingwith appropriate govern-ment agencies to increaseproduction as quickly as pos-sible,” but gives no detailson who else might receive itor when.

The U.S. Food and DrugAdministration must grantpermission to use experimen-tal treatments in the UnitedStates, but the FDA does nothave authority over the useof such a drug in other coun-tries, and the aid workerswere first treated in Liberia.An FDA spokeswoman saidshe could not confirm or denyFDA granting access to any

experimental therapy for theaid workers while in the U.S.

Writebol, 59, has been inisolation at her home in Libe-ria since she was diagnosedlast month.

She’s now walking withassistance and has regainedher appetite, said Bruce John-son, president of SIM USA,the Charlotte, North Caro-lina-based group that sheworks for in Africa.

Writebol has received twodoses of the experimentaldrug so far, but Johnson washesitant to credit the treat-ment for her improvement.

“Ebola is a tricky virus andone day you can be up and thenext day down. One day is notindicative of the outcome,” hesaid. But “we’re grateful thismedicine was available.”

Brantly, 33, who works forthe international relief groupSamaritan’s Purse, also wassaid to be improving. Besidesthe experimental dose he gotin Liberia, he also received aunit of blood from a 14-year-old boy, an Ebola survivor,who had been under his care.That seems to be aimed atgiving Brantly antibodies theboy may have made to the vi-rus.

Cable customerslacking leverage

When you have a problem with your cableservice, there’s a handy “800” number to call.But getting actual help ... ah, that can be anotherchallenge entirely.

Last month, a man got so fed up with a Com-cast service call that he recorded it and postedit online, where it went viral. In response, thechagrined cable giant said it would have theemployee “personally apologize.”

“We are investigating this situation andwill take quick action,” said the response fromComcast Cable Senior Vice President Tom Kar-inshak.

Note the absence of a promise to correct theproblem. And sadly, note the absence of anyoutside regulatory pressure to do so.

The customer, Ryan Block, sent back a price-less reply to Comcast: “I hope the quick actionyou take is a thorough evaluation of your cultureand policies, and not the termination of the rep.”

“We can, and will, do better,” Comcast CableChief Operating Officer Dave Watson pledged ina later message.

Unfortunately, customer service complaintsaren’t limited to one big cable company. Frustra-tion is widespread among the limited providers,nationally.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. As cableand telecom services evolved and were deregu-lated in recent years, the mantra was that com-petition would thwart monopolistic practices,yielding more choices and happier customers.

The reality, so far, is somewhat different. Ithas become easier to find alternative access toTV, but “high-speed” Internet service in manycommunities comes from a single cable compa-ny.

The first step in dealing with a service prob-lem, of course, is to call the cable company.

Often, this works out OK once you getthrough the “press 1, press 2,” “call failed”gantlet.

But if the response has you steamed – say, forexample, if six different customer reps tell youit will be at least four days before a service slotopens to restore your “bundled” cable, phoneand Internet services – what then?

It would be nice to know that providers ofsuch important communication services wouldhold themselves to a high standard – and that ifthey fell short, someone would hold the compa-nies accountable.

But when the providers have more leveragethan the consumers, good luck with that.

Quinn campaign ad not likely to change mindsGov. Pat Quinn’s new TV ad

is 60 seconds of one positive mes-sage after another.

“Pat Quinn sees problems,takes action and gets the jobdone,” the ad claims. “Now,Illinois is making a comeback,” itcontinues.

But the spot is being slammedby longtime campaign insidersin both parties as “spitting in thewind.”

For instance, a Paul SimonPublic Policy Institute poll inJune found that a mere 30 percentof Illinoisans thought the statewas on the right track, while avery strong 60 percent majoritythought Illinois was on the wrongtrack.

And an infamous poll takenby Gallup in April found that50 percent of Illinoisans wouldmove to a different state if giventhe chance. We were first in the

country on that response, accord-ing to Gallup. Just 25 percent ofMinnesotans, by contrast, felt thesame way.

In other words, a positive TVad campaign is not very likelyto change many minds. Way toomany people simply hate the waythings are going here.

Instead, Democratic criticshave been arguing behind thescenes to abandon positivity inthe very near future and launcha full-on, brutal assault againstBruce Rauner as soon as possible.And quite a few experienced Re-publican operatives were scratch-ing their heads at the ad, sayingthey highly doubted it would

move any numbers at all.The Quinn campaign obvious-

ly tested that initial message withfocus groups and polling. So, hey,maybe they’re right. But when’sthe last time you heard someonesay they were proud to live in thisstate or that things were reallystarting to turn around?

Meanwhile, the Quinn folksare reportedly hoping to driveup turnout by more than 200,000votes with the non-binding min-imum wage referendum this fall,which asks voters if they supporta $10 per hour minimum wage.

That turnout projection haslong caused much consternationbehind the scenes among peoplewho believe it’s entirely unreal-istic. What the Quinnsters arehoping to do has never been donebefore, critics point out.

By DIANE KRIEGER SPIVAKWhen summer hits Chicago-

land, the heat index can wreakhavoc on your landscaping.

While this summer has beena pretty rainy one, you need to beprepared for dry spells, which couldcome at any time. hat’s when yourlandscaping needs extra care to lookits best.

During those dry spells grasswill go into a dormant stage andturn brown, and unless you want toend up with a dry, dead lawn, mowyour grass at a high level, 2 1/2 to 3inches. Fear not, it will return to itsgreen color with suicient rainfall.

To keep your plants fromwilting give them a good soaking.A light sprinkling just won’t do.he water will just evaporate in thehot summer sun. And on that note,always make sure to water early inthe day or later in the evening soyour plants can soak up the waterbefore it evaporates.

If you normally fertilize your

lawn, don’t do it during the hotsummer months. Save it for earlyfall, around September. Also, savethe herbicides for cooler weather.

Another step to keep your land-scaping looking good is to makesure you remove weeds before theyproduce seeds so you don’t end upinadvertently sewing a new crop ofweeds for next year.

Don’t forget your potted plants!Plants in containers lose moisturefar quicker than plants in theground. Make sure you soak them,as well.

Mulch is essential duringhot weather to help plants retainmoisture and keep weeds at bay. Usecommercial mulch, grass clippingsor straw, even on potted plants.

If summer lawn care has youconfused, the pros at hat PerennialPlace, in Morris, can take the confu-sion, and the work, out of keepingyour landscaping beautiful allsummer long, no matter what theweather.

The Quinn campaign’s

projections rely heavily on

a record off-year turnout,

even though the national and

state headwinds are rapidly

nearing hurricane force levels

and Democratic interest is

quite low.

Democrats are hoping to

spend as much as $5 million

on the minimum wage project

to drive otherwise nonmo-

tivated “base” voters to go

to the polls. U.S. Sen. Dick

Durbin’s campaign is report-

edly in full agreement and

pressure from both Durbin

and Quinn has for now forced

the Chicago City Council to

delay a vote on its own $13

minimum wage ordinance.

The cold calculation was

that a $13 an hour ordinance

passed in September would

undermine the Democrats’

$10 an hour efforts in the fall

campaign.

On the other side of the

fence, Bruce Rauner’s cam-

paign has calculated a more

than 300,000 voter turnout

increase just to be on the safe

side.

After Rauner’s unexpected-

ly narrow GOP primary win

(despite internal Rauner polls

showing the candidate with

a well over 20-point lead), the

Republicans want to be extra

sure that they plan for every

possible contingency.

To some Democrats, that

Rauner internal turnout pro-

jection validates their theory

of a turnout spike. They be-

lieve that early voting, same

day registration and other

new “tools” will assist them

in reaching their goal.

To others, it’s just smart

politics by Rauner and

overly dangerous optimism

by Quinn. In other words, if

the spike happens, Rauner

will have prepared himself.

If it doesn’t happen, Quinn is

likely toast.

Schaumburg’sValadez had 6RBIs throughfirst 8 innings

Mike Kashirsky knewhe had a dream job as theleft-handed batting practicepitcher for the White Sox.

This season, however, ithas gotteneven better.

The reasonis the 1996Providencegraduate hashad daily con-tact with Soxrookie sluggerJose Abreu.

He throws batting practice tohim on a regular basis. Whilethe rest of the baseball worldmarvels at Abreu, Kashirskysees up close why he is on thepedestal.

“He’s pretty unbelievable,to say the least,” Kashirskysaid. “He has a pretty typicalroutine but what defines himis how he sticks to it. He’svery disciplined. Even if hegets a pitch inside, if he is upthere trying to hit it hard theother way, he does it. He ispretty amazing to watch.”

Abreu entered Mondaynight’s game against Texashitting .304 with 31 homeruns, 28 doubles, a triple and84 RBIs. He has a .361 on-basepercentage, .627 slugging per-centage and .988 OPS. He hitin 39 out of 40 games in a spanthat ended Friday.

He is among baseball’shome run, RBI, slugging andOPS leaders. Frankly, he isdoing things few rookies everhave done.

Some of his homers havebeen tape-measure shots,in batting practice and ingames.

“I’ll never forget when wewere at Dodger Stadium,”said Kashirsky, a Lockportresident. “I knew he was goodand strong. But he hit one allthe way out of Dodger Stadi-um. I can’t even guess howfar that had to be.

“Then we saw somethingin Detroit, where it’s 420 todead center. He hit one intothe camera well beyond the

fence, which had to be 470 or480 feet.

“The days he hits in mygroup [in batting practice]are great. When he’s in othergroups, being able to watchand see where the ball landsis unbelievable.”

Yet, Abreu is not the typeof hitter who walks to theplate planning to see howfar he can hit one. That’s nothim.

“He doesn’t try to hitevery ball out, and he won’t,”Kashirsky said. “He is soconsistent with his swingthat he doesn’t want to doanything to mess that up.When the thing came upabout the home run derby [atthe All-Star Game], about himnot wanting to do it, that wasthe truth.”

Whether it’s Abreu or oneof the other Sox standing inthe batter’s box, Kashirskysaid his job is to throw to thebarrel of the bat.

Kashirsky became manag-er of the Windy City Thun-derbolts about five years ago.He moved up from benchcoach, succeeding TommyThompson, now the managerof Class A Kannapolis in theWhite Sox organization.

“Tommy gave me goodadvice,” Kashirsky said.“Throw to the barrel. Justhit the target, wherever thatis. A hitter has something hewants to work on, and I haveto help him get that work in.”

This is Kashirsky’s secondseason as the Sox’s full-time,left-handed batting practicepitcher.

“I know the routine a lotbetter this year,” he said. “Inthat sense, it’s more comfort-able. But we all have to workour tail off every day, andthat’s not going to change.”

Kashirsky’s ability andwillingness to throw battingpractice keeps him busy inthe offseason as well.

“On Jan. 5, I got a callfrom former Sox player BrentMorel if I would throw to afew guys,” Kashirsky said.“The guys were him, GordonBeckham, Jason Kipnis fromthe Indians and Curtis Grand-erson of the Mets. We went toUIC where Curtis went andhit every day.

“I also threw to GarrettJones of the Marlins a coupleof times at Bo Jackson’s placein Lockport. Over the All-Star

break, I worked at Curtis’camp at UIC. It was prettyneat.”

Whether the Sox are ableto contend for a playoff berththis season is problemati-cal. But one thing they havedone is introduce AmericanLeague pitchers to the theirrookie first baseman out ofCuba.

Kashirsky said because ofthe big man’s approach anddiscipline, the way he refusesto waver from his plan, re-sults should keep on coming.

Imagine the lifelongmemories he is providing hisbatting practice pitcher.

Providence grad in 2nd season as Sox’s full-time, left-handed batting practice pitcher

BOURBONNAIS – In asummer full of hope and opti-mism, Monday was a day forthe Bad News Bears.

A practice set for 3 p.m.,scheduled weeks earlier, wasmoved to 11 a.m. with barelytwo hours notice because of athreat of inclement weather.

Nobody’s fault really, andprobably in everyone’s bestinterest. But that didn’t makethe scores of fans who beganarriving around 1 – only tobe told they missed practice –any happier.

What they missed was agreat dealworse.

One of thefew fears forthis offenseis and hasbeen the lackof depth atall the skillpositions,particularly

receiver.Last year’s seventh-round

draft choice, MarquessWilson, had been handed thethird receiver spot, deserv-edly or not, and was beingcounted on perhaps more thatany other player on the rosterto be an emerging star.

His play had been erraticin camp to date, occasionallystar-like and at other timesinvisible.

Early in Monday’s practice,he tried to go the star route,laying out completely for aball Jay Cutler ever-so-slight-ly overthrew just short of theend zone. After landing on theball and his right shoulder,Wilson will miss at least thenext six weeks or so, possi-bly longer, with a fracturedcollarbone.

Wilson, his right arm in asling, explained after practice:“I was just trying to make aplay. It’s an opportunity. Mebeing a receiver, I saw the balland in my mind I said, ‘Go getit.’ “

The problem, according tocoach Marc Trestman, is thatdiving for balls in practice issomething he teaches his guys

not to do.

“Diving for balls is prob-

ably one of the most difficult

things not to do when you’re a

competitive player,” Trest-

man conceded. “We promote

it, talk about it a lot, but in my

experience, it’s very difficult

to stop when a guy goes to

make a play on a ball.”

Tall and rail thin even after

a spring indoctrination to the

Brandon Marshall school of

training, Wilson is a pleasant,

bright-eyed and at times al-

most bubbly young man who

often strikes you as a kid in

the candy store.

He seems to love the game

and his teammates, and that

made it doubly painful to

watch him acknowledge his

coach had tried to warn him.

“It was just second nature,”

Wilson said. “I look back at it

and I probably shouldn’t have

done it, but it just happened.”

The good news for the

Bears is it’s a broken bone and

not a ripped up joint or torn

ligament or tendon, which are

much more difficult to treat

and heal. Broken bones mend,

and Wilson should be back

this season.

When he will return is any-

body’s guess, and what they

do until he returns and how

good he will be when he does,

are open questions.

According to the early

depth chart, next up are Eric

Weems, Josh Morgan, Josh

Bellamy and Chris Williams.

None can match Wilson’s

Marshall- and Jeffery-like size

and, more importantly, none

is close to what Trestman

called his “ascension” at the

position.

It is important to note that

the Trestman offense gets the

bulk of its production and

explosiveness primarily from

two-receiver and two-tight

end (one catcher, one block-

er) sets with the running

back heavily involved in the

passing game.

As long as Marshall and

Jeffery stay upright, there is

no reason to quell your opti-

mism yet.

But, as I wrote just the oth-

er day, should something now

happen to cause one of those

starters to miss meaningful

time, combined with the

Bears’ brutal first-half sched-

ule, it would leave 2014 playoff

hopes twisting precariously in

the wind.

22 BEARS NOTEBOOK

Wilson breaks his claviclediving to ground at camp

By ARTHUR [email protected]

BOURBONNAIS – Thebuzz surrounding Bears No.3 receiver Marquess Wilsonthroughout the offseasonand first week of trainingcamp disappeared almostinstantly Monday, when hesuffered a broken claviclewhile diving for a pass fromJay Cutler.

No immediate timetablewas given for Wilson’s re-turn, but a best-case scenar-io likely would have him outat least 4-6 weeks.

The play representedwhat had the Bears so ex-cited about Wilson – speedto get behind cornerbackCharles Tillman and a largecatching radius to get hishands on an overthrow –but also a reminder of whycoach Marc Trestman con-stantly emphasizes stayingoff the ground in camp.

“That’s the hardest partabout coaching in practice,”said a clearly disappointedTrestman after Monday’spractice, moved from 3 p.m.to 11 a.m. because of expect-ed inclement weather thatnever arrived. “You hearus say it all the time, ‘Stayoff the ground, stay off theground.’ And diving for ballsis one of the most difficultthings not to do when you’rea competitive player.”

Wilson caught only twopasses as a seventh-roundrookie last season, butseemed poised for a break-through after a strong off-season in which he workedwith Brandon Marshall,Alshon Jeffery and othersin Miami.

“It is (frustrating),” saidWilson, wearing a sling onhis right shoulder, “but …you can’t be down on it.You’ve just got to feed offof this and then come backeven stronger. That’s whatmy plan is to do, come backstronger when I get healthyand keep working.”

Eric Weems and ChrisWilliams both have madeplays in camp and will havea chance to earn the No. 3role.

Free-agent acquisitionJosh Morgan has the mostNFL experience among thereserve wideouts (199 careerreceptions), but he’s beenquiet in Bourbonnais.

Tempers flare: The mosttense scuffle of camp oc-curred between tight endMartellus Bennett (6-foot-6,265 pounds) and nickel cor-nerback Kyle Fuller (6-0, 190pounds).

In a red zone drill, Fullerbrought down Bennett by theshoulder pads after breakingup a pass. Bennett immedi-ately bounced up and wentafter the rookie, first shov-ing, then body slammingFuller to the ground. Mar-shall quickly got in the faceof Bennett, before Trestmanended practice abruptly.

Special teams installment:The Bears added several newwrinkles to special teamsdrills, including onsidekicks, free kicks and fieldgoal returns.

In the more traditionaldrills, Weems and SherrickMcManis were first-teamgunners on punts; RyanMundy and Kelvin Haydenlined up outside on kick-offs.

Attendance report: SafetiesChris Conte (shoulder) andCraig Steltz (groin) remainon the physically unable toperform list. CornerbackTim Jennings (quadriceps)and offensive lineman EbenBritton (hamstring) also re-mained out.

Defensive end Jared Al-len and running back ShaunDraughn were again excusedfor personal reasons.

Highlights: Before his in-jury, Wilson had the day’sbiggest completion, a goroute in which he beat Till-man before running under awell-placed Cutler sidelinethrow. … Cornerback IsiahFrey notched the defense’sonly takeaway, picking off atelegraphed throw over themiddle by Jimmy Clausen.… Alshon Jeffery showedoff his strong hands on twosideline throws, includinghigh-pointing a Cutler passover Hayden to move thechains on third-and-long.

Baez’s arrival officiallystarts the hysteriaAre you going to let Javier Baez

Fan, alongwith yourwife and theone sonwhomyou demanded– under threat of divorce – benamed ‘‘Ryno.”Is there any possibility that

youwill give Baez room to growwithout holding him to impossi-ble standards?Iwonder. I seriouslywonder.

The Cubs called up Baez onMonday, and he’s expectedtomake his big-league debuttonight in Denver against theRockies. Itwill be a huge dayfor the 21-year-old infielder, aswell as for president of baseballoperations Theo Epstein,whohas been selling the idea ofhomegrownproducts since hearrived in 2011. It’s only amatterof time before Bryant and otherprospects get their shots.I’ve heard some fans and

observers insist the Cubswillbe aWorld Series contender by2017. Based onwhat, I’m notsure.Minor-league stats, I guess.Or their own alcohol intake.Baez’s arrival officiallywill start

the hysteria.Hopefully, the sole reason

Baez is a Cub is because Epsteinthinks he’s ready. Any otherreason isn’t a good one.

‘I COULDN’T EVEN SLEEP IN THE BED’By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent

MINOOKA – When in her teensand 20s, Belinda Coley ofMinooka was physically active

and always on the move.Her favorite activity was roller

skating, and she frequented the rinksin Coal City and Morris. Coley alsotook pride in her home.

“I was an immaculate housekeep-er.”

Somehow things spun out of con-trol, and her home slowly grew moreunkempt. Finally, Coley admitted shewas a hoarder. In December 2010, herfamily was profiled on the A&E TVseries, “Hoarders.”

“I don’t know how it all started,”Coley started.

The story is common with hoard-ers. Once a hoarding situation begins,according to Grundy County HealthDepartment mental health therapistMelissa Wasko, it can snowball intoan unmanageable situation.

“As it develops,” Wasko said, “itcan become isolating, and when thathappens, their things become evenmore important to them.”

Wasko said no one knows exactlywhat causes hoarding disorder. It mayhave a genetic component, she said. Atraumatic event may be another trig-ger, she said. Other risk factors, ac-cording to the American PsychiatricAssociation, are having a brain injuryand other psychological disorders.

At the health department, Waskoconducts a weekly group therapysession for hoarders called, “Cagedby Clutter.” Therapists at the healthdepartment also treat the disorder,she said.

The health department is in theprocess of organizing a work group toexamine the area hoarding issue fromboth a clinical and legal standpoint.

“We’re asking ourselves how wecan offer support in the best way pos-sible,” Wasko said.

That includes helping hoardersin a medical setting – as well as intheir homes – and working with firstresponders to train them how torecognize signs of the disorder when ahoarder needs emergency care.

Entrances may be blocked withboxes or stacks of items, gurneys maynot be able to pass through clutteredhallways and responders themselves

might be in danger of falling or havingitems fall on them.

Hoarding disorder is recognized asa diagnosable psychological condition.According to the American Psychi-atric Association, a hoarder will ex-cessively save items that others mayview as worthless and have persistentdifficulty parting with possessions.The resulting clutter disrupts theirability to use their living or workspaces.

Wasko said an estimated 1 to 2 per-cent of the population has significanthoarding issues, which would mean500 to 1,000 people in Grundy County.It’s usually a hidden condition, onekept behind doors. Hoarders don’toften seek out care, she said, and expe-rience guilt and anxiety as a result.

For Coley, hoarding began with anaccident that left her in severe pain.Prescription pain medicine was littlehelp.

“I was a complete vegetable,” Coleysaid. “I couldn’t even drive.”

Coley eventually discontinued themedicine, but by that time, the con-

dition of her house had deteriorated,she said.

“I couldn’t even sleep in the bed,”Coley said.

Her daughter, Shania, now 17, said

she’s not a hoarder, but she is accus-tomed to clutter in the house. Rightnow, she added, her bedroom is cleanexcept for clothes on the floor.

“I’m not a hoarder,” she said. “Idon’t keep things I’m not sentimentalabout.”

On “Hoarders,” a psychotherapistand a professional organizer workedwith Coley to get rid of the stuff thathad accumulated in her five-bedroom,100-year-old house. Coley said thingshave gone slowly back to a hoardingsituation.

“We tried,” she said, “but whenyou’re not taught anything. ... It’s get-ting bad again. But it’s nowhere nearwhere it was.”

Wasko said she wasn’t surprised.For someone who is just depressed oroverwhelmed, a good cleaning out cando the trick. But not for someone withcompulsive hoarding disorder.

“You haven’t dealt with the root ofthe problem, which is the cause of thehoarding,” Wasko said. “They needways to adjust or modify their think-ing patterns.”

Know more

Risk factors for hoarding include:• A family member who is a hoarder – the

condition may have a genetic component• A brain injury• Other psychological disorders, such as de-

pression, anxiety disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder or alcohol use disorder• Stressful life event, such as the death of a

loved oneOnset: Usually in the teen years, with the

average age of onset of first symptoms at 13.Hoarding tends to worsen over decades, asclutter accumulates, causing more and moredysfunction. Early recognition, diagnosis andtreatment are crucial to improving outcomes

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Bob Hope said, “If you watcha game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’srecreation. If you work at it, it’sgolf.”

As you watch the cards close-ly, you play well and find bridgeto be fun. The work is trainingyour partner also to pay closeattention.

Today’s deal can either be a50-50 bet or a sure thing, depend-ing upon the skill level of Eastand West. How should they cardto defeat three no-trump? Westleads the spade five. Declarertakes East’s king with his ace andattacks diamonds.

North added one point for hisdecent five-card diamond suitand raised to three no-trump.

South starts with only five toptricks: two spades (given the firsttrick) and three clubs. However,four more winners are readilyavailable from the diamonds. So,if East has the diamond ace, thecontract is guaranteed. If Westhas that ace, maybe he will notfind a heart shift; or if he does, itwill not prove lethal.

Here, though, as you can see,if West leads the heart jack, thenwhen he gets in with his diamondace, the contract can be defeated.But how does West know to leada heart rather than a club?

West should duck the first di-amond to get some help from hispartner. East should play first thetwo to show an odd number. Buton the second round, he couldplay either the eight or the three.By following suit with the eight,the higher card, East is express-ing interest in the higher-rank-ing of hearts and clubs, the twounplayed suits. This points Westin the right direction – if he iswatching.

Dear Doctor K: I read about anew study on sleep and memory.I understand why too little sleepcould affect memory. But whywould too much sleep be harm-ful?

Dear Reader: When it comesto memory, sleep is a Goldi-locks issue: Neither too muchnor too little is good. Aim for“just right,” says Dr. Eliza-beth Devore, an instructor inmedicine at Harvard-affiliatedBrigham and Women’s Hospital.Dr. Devore led a new study thatsuggests getting an “average”amount of sleep – seven hoursper day – may help maintainmemory in later life.

In 1986 and again in 2000,researchers asked a large numberof women who were enrolled in along-term study about their sleephabits. Women who slept fivehours or fewer per night or ninehours or more performed worseon brain testing compared withwomen who slept seven to eighthours a night. The researchersestimated that “undersleepers”and “oversleepers” were mentallytwo years older than the womenwho got seven to eight hours ofshut-eye a night.

A study like this one can findonly an association, a connection,

between two things – in this case,the number of hours of sleep andmemory. It cannot prove thatsleeping more or less than sevenor eight hours a night (on a reg-ular basis) is bad for memory. Itcan only suggest that possibility.

Is the possibility plausible? Ifso, how might sleep affect mem-ory? People who are persistentlysleep-deprived are more likely tohave conditions that can decreaseblood flow inside the brain. Themost common is atherosclerosisof the arteries of the brain. Ath-erosclerosis blocks arteries, andthereby slows blood flow. Thismay negatively affect the abilityof brain cells to work properly.

Sleep-deprived brains mayalso collect more deposits ofa protein called beta amyloid.These deposits are linked to de-clines in memory and thinkingand increased risk of dementia.

One of the most interestingand potentially important scien-tific reports of the past year wasa study done in mice. It may, ormay not, apply to humans. The

study showed that during sleepthe brain “flushes out” toxic sub-stances. If this is true in humans,it could be part of the explanationas to why sleeping fewer thanseven or eight hours per nighton a regular basis could impairmemory. But it wouldn’t explainwhy people who regularly sleepmore than seven or eight hoursper night have impaired memory.

What might the explanationbe? People who spend more thannine or 10 hours a night in bedoften have poor sleep quality. So,for both too little and too muchsleep, the important number maybe the hours of quality sleep.

To improve your sleep:• Go to bed and wake up at the

same time every day.• Use your bed only for sleep-

ing or lovemaking.• If you can’t fall asleep after 15

to 20 minutes, get out of bed. Getback into bed only when you feelsleepy.

• Limit caffeine.• Don’t take long naps during

the day.

• Dr. Komaroff is a physicianand professor at Harvard MedicalSchool. Visit www.AskDoctorK.com to send questions and getadditional information.

Dr.Wallace:Thank

goodness it’s summer

break and our 10-year-old

son doesn’t have to go to

school. Our son is small

for his age and, unfor-

tunately, he has poor

vision requiring him to

wear thick-lens glasses.

We moved to our present

location in the middle of

the school year, and it

was difficult for him to

adjust to the new school.

At his previous

school, all the kids knew

him since first grade and

accepted him for what he

is: a nice young boy. He

had no bullying problem

at his old school, but

at his new school kids

made fun of him and

even physically pushed

him, sometimes causing

him to fall.

When school starts in

the fall I plan to talk to

the principal to ensure

that our son will attend

school to get an educa-

tion, not to be bullied by

undisciplined students.

Please tell parents whose

children are bullies

what to do to end their

unacceptable behavior.

– Mother, Philadelphia,Pa.

DearMother:You

make an excellent

suggestion! First, let me

define bullying for par-

ents. Bullying is defined

as any verbal (teasing,

taunting, name-calling),

physical (hitting, kick-

ing, shoving, destroying

another’s property) or

non-physical (threaten-

ing or obscene gestures)

behavior.

My research for your

suggestion produced a

group of tips for parents

and teens presented by

the National Association

of Social Workers called

“Dealing with School

Bullying.” These seven

tips will help parents to

take preventive mea-

sures!

1. Know the warning

signs. Teens may be

too afraid to tell their

parents that they are

being bullied. If teens fre-

quently come home with

bruises and scrapes, or

are often upset, it may be

an indication that they

are being bullied.

2. Acknowledge

bullying as a problem. If

teens talk to you about

bullying, be sure to ac-

knowledge it as a serious

problem. Be open, let

them know that it is not

their fault.

3. Model non-punitive

behavior. When kids see

their parents use aggres-

sive or hostile behavior,

they are more likely to

exhibit it themselves.

4. Provide conse-

quences. If your teen

shows signs of these

behaviors, immediately

provide consequences.

5. Deal with siblings.

If siblings display bully-

ing toward one another,

discuss it and provide

consequences. If not

addressed at home, the

problem may continue in

other places.

6. Communicate with

schools. Develop open

communication with

staff at school, including

teachers and counselors.

They will inform you of

any bullying behavior

your teen displays out-

side of the home.

7. Intervene when

teens are bullying others.

Confront teens display-

ing aggressive actions

about their behavior,

and let them know it is

an issue. Then discuss al-

ternative behaviors with

them, including express-

ing anger appropriately,

talking about their feel-

ings and walking away

when they are upset.

Dear Abby:What is the protocolfor naming a baby after a deceasedperson? If the name you want touse is a deceased family member’sname, do we ask his next of kin forapproval? Do we say nothing? Is itassumed that people who wish touse someone’s name when namingtheir child should seek permission(whether the person is living ordead)? – Pregnant In Illinois

Dear Pregnant: In the Jewishfaith, it is traditional for a baby tobe named for a deceased parent orgrandparent – or at least given aname with the same first initial.However, if the person who diedwas a child of a close relative, Ican see how that could be verypainful for the parents who losttheir child.

The appropriate thing to dowould be to first have a conver-sation with the surviving familymember(s) to be sure it will beconsidered the honor it is intendedto be and not open fresh wounds.If it would cause pain, perhaps the

expectant parents should considermaking the name of the deceasedtheir baby’s middle name insteadof first name.

Dear Abby:During my teens, Iwas diagnosed with depressionand institutionalized followinga suicide attempt. Depression issomething I live with daily. Unfor-tunately, my parents and siblingshave a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policywhen it comes to anything thatmay stir up emotions. I feel thatit’s detrimental to my well-being.

My doctor has suggestedcutting my family out of my life.Dealing with them gives me greatanxiety. My mother is a mastermanipulator who denies my sui-cide attempt ever happened, andI’m afraid she will tell my extendedfamily members (many of whom

I have relationships with) that Ihave “abandoned the family.”

No one outside my immediatefamily knows about my depressionor suicide attempt, and I feel Imay be forced to reveal that veryprivate part of my life in order todefend my actions. I don’t knowwhat to do. – Reluctant To Reveal

Dear Reluctant To Reveal: I thinkyou should follow your doctor’sadvice and not be intimidated.You have an illness – depression –that, according to the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention,is shared by about 9 percent ofour population. It is nothing to beashamed of.

Because you’re afraid of whatyour mother will say, explain tothose relatives you feel close towhat you need to do and the rea-sons for it. I can’t guarantee thatsome of them won’t take sides, butI’m sure not all of them will.

• Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com.

Tread carefully when naming baby after relative

Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep – no more, no less

The bullyingmust stop

DirectorMikeCahill discusses faith, science and filmBy JOE HEIM

The Washington Post

Mike Cahill, 35, is a2001 Georgetown Univer-sity graduate whose filmsinclude 2011’s “AnotherEarth” and the just-released“I Origins.” Both wererecipients of the Alfred P.Sloan Feature Film prize atthe Sundance Film Festival.The prize is given to filmsfocusing on science or tech-nology.

Joe Heim: “I Origins” is amovie about whether sciencecan disprove intelligent design.But it’s essentially a movie aboutfaith.

Mike Cahill: It is a movieabout faith in many ways.Or it’s about a scientificman coming to faith. Somesort of faith, I guess.

Heim: You’re grappling withexistential questions.

Cahill: Absolutely. It’s anexploration. It’s the conver-sation that we would prob-ably have until 6 o’clock inthe morning over a bottle ofwine, turned into a movie.[Laughs] It is the thing thatis most interesting to me.The question of the self andwhether there is somethingbeyond just the physics ofour life.

Heim: When you watch yourmovie with an audience, are youcalm or are you just sick to yourstomach?

Cahill: I get into it. Iwatched it in Torontorecently, and I was in tearsat the end. And I was like,Wait a second, this is weird.I made this movie. I’ve seenit 400 times. Why is this mo-ment doing this to me?

Heim: You’re not worriedabout the audience’s reaction?

Cahill: No, no. With “An-other Earth,” it was prettydivided between people wholiked it and people who dis-liked it. And I just like thatpeople watched it. [Laughs]I mean, they own that opin-ion. I did take an hour and ahalf of their lives away from

them.

Heim: You went to George-town, which is not exactlyknown as a film school.

Cahill: Right, that is true.But I did have some greatprofessors who taught filmin the English department.They opened my eyes tofilm, to screenwriting. And Istill apply what I learned.

Heim: Brit Marling hasstarred in your movies, and

you’ve been friends since col-lege. Does being friends make itharder to direct her?

Cahill: Noooo, it makesit so much easier. We havea shorthand and a trust. Iadmire acting. Acting isimpossible. I don’t knowhow people act. You have tobe vulnerable and authen-tic and unselfconscious allsimultaneously and makepeople believe. Because wehave such trust she can goto far extremes and explore

things very safely knowingthat, you know, we’ve goteach other’s back.

Heim: What is your favoritemovie?

Cahill: Can I give youthree?

Heim: Just one.Cahill: “2001: A Space Od-

yssey.” Because that movie,what it presents to you,can’t be articulated in anyother form than as a movie.
