JOLIET – Nonunion citypersonnel would receive a 2percent salary increase – theirfirst since 2008 – under a bud-get amendment proposed byCity Manager Jim Hock.
Hock intends to requestMonday a $1.4 million increasein the 2014 budget to fund theraises, as well as cover thecity’s new tree planting pro-gram, snow-related expensesand other items from the CityCouncil.
The 2 percent increase fornonunion positions would beeffective in July. In total, theraises will cost $140,000.
“They have not had a wageincrease since 2008, while thebargaining units have hadfour years with 4 percent in-creases during the same timeperiod,” Hock said in a state-ment to the council.
The amendment also wouldinclude a $40,000 compensa-tion study of nonunion posi-
tions to create a competitivemerit pay plan.
A new deputy city manag-er/human resources directorwould be created under theamendment. The $150,000 po-sition would be responsiblefor human resources and cus-tomer relations, including es-tablishing a 311 customer callcenter.
Hock also is proposing$150,000 for the city’s forestryplanting program to help re-place some of the thousands ofparkway trees lost to the emer-ald ash borer.
The largest portion of thebudget amendment – $955,000– is devoted to snow-related ex-penses, including salt purchas-es, contracted snow removaland overtime expenses.
“We lived through a winterthat brought heavy snowfall …breaking our overtime budgetin Roadway Division of PublicWorks,” Hock said.
Several of the budget itemsare tied to initiatives createdin the city’s new strategic plan.
Council members are sched-uled to consider the proposal atMonday’s combined pre-coun-cil and regular council session.

Shorewood-Troy library boardapproves operating budget
By VIKAAS [email protected]
S H O R E W O O D – T h eShorewood-Troy LibraryDistrict last week approved a$1.26 million operating bud-get for the next fiscal year, a4.7 percent increase from thelast budget.
Director Jennie Mills saidthe increase is primarily be-cause of the expected increasein capital expenditures fromreplacing the large two-storywindow in the library. The re-placement is expected to costbetween $75,000 to $85,000.
“We’re still working onthe replacement,” Mills said.“We’ve asked the architectto come back with a different
structural design.”Mills said the window is
not structurally sound any-more, and the library is look-ing to replace it in the fall.
The next step for the li-brary board is to approve theappropriations budget duringJuly’s meeting, and publiclydisplay the budget before of-ficially passing it in August.
The board Thursday also
passed a yearly ordinance tolevy an additional 0.02 per-cent tax to equip, maintainand repair the library build-ing.
Mills said the levy is notan increase in taxes, and it’spassed every year to help thedistrict with maintenancecosts. The levy would bringin an estimated $10,172 for thelibrary.
Nonunion staff would get first pay hike since ’08

JOLIET – They came bythe hundreds to celebratelife, remember those fallenand raise funds to fight can-cer.
The Relay For Life of Jo-liet drew 500 participants on50 teams to ATI Field at JolietMemorial Stadium on Satur-day. This year’s goal was toraise $250,000 for the Ameri-can Cancer Society.
“We’re ahead year overyear,” said Kevin McMaster,Relay of Life specialist for Jo-liet. “There are so many largebusinesses out there that sup-port the event, and the com-munity really rallies behindit.”
The sunny weather alsohelped.
“We’ve finally had greatweather,” McMaster said.“Last year we had a stormcoming in and had to worryabout when it was going tohit. This year we have noth-ing to worry about.”
Relay for Life started Sat-urday afternoon and contin-ued overnight into Sunday.
Many of those attendingthe event were survivorsthemselves who came to walkthe Survivors Lap, or to lighta luminaria for those whohave lost their battle withcancer.
For Karissa Calvert, 9, ofMinooka it was a chance torun outside in the sun.
Nine months ago, afterbeing diagnosed with acutemyeloid leukemia, Karissacouldn’t even get out of bed.She spent weeks at Universityof Chicago Comer Children’sHospital, strapped to a venti-lator and kidney dialysis ma-chine.
Initially the outlook wasbleak, said Amanda Calvert,Karissa’s mother.
“We were told the leuke-mia was so strong that chemo-therapy wouldn’t work andthat she would need a bonemarrow transplant,” Calvert
said.But Karissa bounced back.
Within a few weeks she wasoff the ventilator and dialysis,and receiving daily chemo-therapy in the hospital. Shewas allowed to leave the hos-pital only twice during treat-ment, on Thanksgiving andChristmas.
“We basically lived in thehospital,” Calvert said.
Earlier this year, Karissafinished her treatment. Shewas able to graduate fourthgrade on the honor roll de-spite missing six monthsof school, and go back intocheerleading.
To see her running aroundat the Relay For Life survi-vors’ dinner, you would nev-er think she had been ill.
Gail Besar of Plainfield
has been a breast cancer sur-vivor for seven years.
“I was really lucky becauseI didn’t have to go throughchemo, just a lumpectomyand radiation,” Besar said.“And having a supportivefamily and friends made it awhole lot easier.”
It wasn’t her first experi-ence with the disease.
“My mom died of cancerwhen she was 45. I was 17,”Besar said. “Both of her par-ents died from cancer, too.”
Six years ago, Besar or-ganized Team Wal-Mart inShorewood, one of the groupsattending Saturday’s relay.But Besar also works to raisemoney throughout the yearby hosting various on-sitefundraisers at local business-es.
“We’ve always tried togive back to the community,”Besar said. “This was some-thing that was close to myheart.”
Sue Purkart is anotherbreast cancer survivor. It’sbeen 10½ years for her.
“At first I thought I hadonly five weeks to live becausemy uncle died five weeks afterhis diagnosis,” Purkart said.“But God helped me throughit and I’m still here.”
While the cancer is gone,Purkart still deals with af-ter-effects from the ordeal:lymphedema, a swelling in
the lymph system, and neu-ropathy, a tingling sensationin the hands and feet.
“You struggle with that ev-ery day, but if you get up andyou are alive, it’s a good day,”Purkart said.
Purkart has been involvedwith Relay For Life since2003.
“The American CancerSociety has been there for mesince day one,” Purkart said.
This is the fourth year thatrelay has been held at Memo-rial Stadium. Prior to that itwas held at the Joliet WestHigh School track.

The mud pit, the final obstacle in the Warrior Dash.
By JEANNE MILLSAPShaw Media Correspondent
CHANNAHON – The facesof those who had just complet-ed the 3.1-mile Warrior Dashheld this past weekend Chan-nahon registered joy and tri-umph, exhaustion and numb-ness. Some registered pain.
About 20,000 people wereexpected Saturday and Sun-day at Dollinger Farms inChannahon, which hostedWarrior Dash for the fourthyear. Warrior Dash is in itsfifth year and is held at 50 lo-cations worldwide. The firstone was in Joliet.
Run by Red Frog Eventsout of Chicago, the dash is arunning and obstacle coursedesigned to challenge thoseathletically minded and toraise money for St. Jude Chil-dren’s Hospital.
The 14 obstacles alongthe course included a cargoclimb, a chain climb, a hardrain, mud mounds and a mud
pit, trenches and a fire jump.It is billed as the world’s larg-est obstacle race series.
Red Frog spokeswomanStephanie Schell said morethan a million warriors havestormed the dash’s battle-grounds in the past four yearsand have raised $7.5 millionfor the hospital.
Schell said the companycontinues to hold the eventat Dollinger Farms becauseof the good working relation-ship with the family and be-cause the farm provides a per-fect location for the course.
New this year was the Go-liath.
“It’s the biggest obstacle
ever,” Schell said. “It’s twostories tall and in three seg-ments. There’s a cargo netto climb up, then you walkacross balance beams, thenyou go down a two-story wa-terslide into a mud pit. Every-one’s really raving about it.”
Schell said the coursechanges every year, with onlythe fire and mud pit obstaclesremaining the same.
“It’s for all fitness levels,”she said. “Warriors can by-pass an obstacle if they feelthey cannot complete it.”
It was the third WarriorDash for Patty Sendra of Mo-kena. She brought her moth-er, Tracy Sendra, with herthis year. They both complet-ed the course.
“I asked her if she wantedto go,” Patty said. “I told herthere were lots of hot shirt-less men.”
“I liked getting muddy,”her mother said. “I loved theobstacles. I really liked theropes all tied together. The
running and getting up thehills was the hardest part.”
“It makes me feel like aman,” Tinley Park residentAdam Dirker said with alaugh after completing thecourse.
He and friend SammieDrake, from Elk Grove Vil-lage, still had their red war-rior helmets on, althoughDrake said she lost hers for aminute when it flew off goingdown the slide. She found itfloating in the mud pit. Drakesaid getting dirty was one ofthe best parts of the dash.
“It’s a good excuse to getdirty and play in the mud,”she said.
“It was great,” Dirker said.“It was crowded this year, butthe obstacles were worth it.”
Dirker said his favoriteobstacle this year was the Go-liath because of its multiplechallenges.
“You can find yourself ina situation if you don’t watchyourself,” he said.

Tax credit eyed fortornado victims
By JESSICA [email protected]
DIAMOND – A tax creditcould be in the future for Dia-mond and Coal City propertyowners affected by the tornado.
Two distinct tax exemp-tions may apply to severalhomeowners who made im-provements to their propertyduring post-tornado construc-tion.
Diamond Mayor TerryKernc said she and GrundyCounty Assessor Dave Hen-derson are working on makingthe two exemptions availableto homeowners as they may re-quire an application process.Depending on each homeown-er’s situation, the exemptionsmay not take effect until the2015 tax year or later.
“I just want everyone to beaware that this is out there,”Kernc said. “The last thing Iwant is for anyone to miss anopportunity.”
Natural Disaster HomesteadExemption
The Natural Disaster Home-stead Exemption is a perma-nent tax credit that reimburseshomeowners whose propertyvalues may have increased af-ter a disaster.
Often during the recon-struction process, ownersmake home improvements orincreases in living space, alter-ing their home’s property val-ue and potentially driving upproperty taxes.
The exemption considersassessed property value be-fore the disaster struck andcompares that value to what-ever the home’s new value isafter upgrades are made. Thedifference between the twofigures is issued as a reim-bursement.
“If your home was totallydemolished, you literally havea brand new home that couldbe worth much more than yourprevious home,” Kernc said.
T h e r e i m b u r s e m e n tamount is fixed and applies tohomeowners every tax cycleuntil they sell their home.
However, the natural disas-ter exemption is capped, mean-ing those who made significantimprovements may not receivethe full difference between pre-and post-tornado values.
Homestead ImprovementExemption
To qualify for this exemp-tion, no disaster damage isneeded. It simply applies tohomeowners who make im-provements to their property,Henderson said.
The improvement exemp-tion works in tandem with thenatural disaster credit. Forexample, if a homeowner hitsthe limit on the natural disas-ter tax credit, then they couldlikely receive a homestead im-provement exemption as well.
The combined exemptionswork together to help disas-ter-affected homeowners tomitigate property tax increas-es.
A noted difference: This ex-emption is only available forfour tax years and after thefour years a homeowner utiliz-es the exemption, it expires.
Henderson said for yearsthe Grundy County assessor’soffice has automatically ap-plied the homestead improve-ment exemption to eligiblehouseholds.
Henderson said his office isstill deciding the easiest wayto make the natural disasterexemptions available, but as-sured homeowners no hurry isnecessary at this point.

Shorewood veteran takes honor flightShorewood resident Jean
Klimek got the ride of her liferecently when she flew fromChicago Midway InternationalAirport to Dulles InternationalAirport in Washington, D.C.
Klimek, a 91½ year oldformer 1st Lieutenant Armynurse, was one of about 90World War II veterans whowent on a trip to the U.S. capi-tal, courtesy of Chicago HonorFlights. It’s a way of recogniz-ing and thanking the men andwomen who have served ourcountry.
Klimek was one of just afew women veterans on theflight, which didn’t faze her inthe least.
She and 14 other womenwho received their nursestraining at Michael ReeseHospital in Chicago back inthe 1940s all agreed to join theArmy. They stuck togetherthrough their training at CampBarkley in Texas and on to amilitary hospital in Seattle.
They soon found them-selves on a ship heading toOkinawa, where they spent12 days zigzagging across theocean to avoid enemy detec-tion.
The women worked 12-hourdays, seven days a week in hos-pital tents, tending to woundedand ill soldiers. Klimek herselfwas stricken with dysentery.
She spent one year in Oki-nawa having access to only themost meager accommodations,such as ice cold showers andouthouses.
Her trip on the HonorFlight two weeks ago beganwhen she was picked up at herhome at 3 a.m. and driven byvolunteers to Midway airport.They were greeted by a famil-iar trio, the Legacy Girls who
sang and danced, in era cloth-ing, much like the belovedAndrew Sisters of the time.
Once at Dulles airport theywere whisked off to see severalWorld War II memorials andmonuments. Each veteranhad a personal guardian whostayed throughout the entiretrip and escorted them in awheelchair for comfort.
They arrived back inChicago later that night to awelcome party of about 2,000well-wishers. There werefriends and relatives waitingtheir return, but also groupslike the Girl Scouts and BoyScouts, schoolchildren andother veterans who had beenon a previous Honor Flightand came back to welcomethem home.
The revelers waved flags,cheered and held welcomehome signs. The FrankfortBrass Band, who had beenkeeping the crowd entertainedand upbeat as they waited
for the veterans, continuedto play. As the veterans camethrough the “parade” line,they received handshakes,hugs, pats on the back andeven a few kisses.
As a sailor wheeled Klimekoff the plane she saw all kindsof people she didn’t knowwaving and smiling at herwith patriotic pride. She wascompletely overwhelmed.
“I knew nothing of this stuffgoing on. It was all a secret,”she said.
And then she spotted somefamiliar faces.
“I was looking around andhere’s my niece and neph-ews,” she said with a big grin.“I loved every minute of thetrip.”
Friend and Southwest Air-lines Capt. Kenny Seaman hadthe privilege of flying WorldWar II veterans to Washing-ton, D.C., twice. Seaman, whoserved 15 months in Iraq, saidthe experience was an honor
for him, as well.Seaman had a chance to
chat with some of the infantrysoldiers. He listened as menfrom different branches of thearmed forces shared their sto-ries with each other, learninghow they had supported oneanother. They each knew theirpart in the war so it was likeputting together pieces of apuzzle.
Most of the veterans servedfour years in Europe duringWorld War II, he said.
“What a sacrifice of theirlives; my 15 months [in Iraq]was hard but in four years lifechanges. I don’t think a lot ofpeople understand that,” Sea-man said. “The sacrifices theymade and what they gave upwas pretty overwhelming.”

One of the more frequent problems people relate to foot
specialists is deformed nails. Deformed nails can result from
an injury to the nail, in-growing corners of the nail, fungus in
the nail and many other conditions. Nail deformities can be
painful, they can make shoe fitting difficult, and they can cause
infections and irritations.
As with most health conditions, prevention is the key to good
foot and nail health. Simple things may be done to prevent
nail problems including: proper cutting of the nails (cut them
straight across), wearing well-fitted shoe gear, and proper foot
hygiene to prevent fungus and bacterial infections.
Regardless of how careful one may be, nail problems can still
develop. Treatment for these problems is based on the underlying
cause. Some conditions may require simple trimming of the
toenail(s), antibiotics, anti-fungal medications and possible
surgical intervention. Nail conditions can be very painful and
potentially dangerous to overall foot health. In most cases, they
are treated effectively with conservative care and pain can often
be alleviated the day of your visit. If you or anyone you know
suffers from this or any foot or ankle problem, please contact your
foot and ankle specialist at the Foot and Ankle Health Center.

Bunions often occur as enlargements or bumps on the side ofthe foot at the big toe joint. They are usually painful and canmake shoe fitting difficult. The pain experienced with bunionscan come from pressure on the bunion itself or from the bunioncausing secondary problems that are painful. An exampleof this is a bunion that rides on top of or below the adjacentsecond toe. This causes painful pressure on the second toe inaddition to the pain from the bunion.
Bunions form on the inside of the big toe joint because of the“drifting” of the big toe towards the smaller toes. Bunionsform from abnormal forces that occur through the foot duringwalking. Also, there appears to be a hereditary component.Left untreated, bunions tend to get worse in regard to howdeformed the big toe joint gets and also in regard to theamount of pain present. Over time, arthritis can form in thebig toe joint from the bunion, resulting in decreased range ofmotion and increased pain in the toe joint.
Treatment usually involves removing pressure from the bunionand correcting the deformity, which has caused the pain.Anything that does not address the underlying problem thatcaused the bunion to form in the first place will only providetemporary relief at best. Not all bunions area created equaland it is necessary to evaluate each bunion for the correctiveprocedure that best suits it. If you or anyone you know suffersfrom this or any foot or ankle problem, please contact your footand ankle specialist at the Foot and Ankle Health Center.

An extraordinary artist, a wonderful personBy DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND
PLAINFIELD – Back whenmixed media artist JoAnnDeck of Plainfield was still toy-ing with the idea of painting,she took classes at communitycolleges and set up an artstudio in her basement.
“I still remember thepainting on the easel,” saidTammy Deck of Westmont,JoAnn’s daughter. “It wasa loaf of bread cooling on awindowsill.”
JoAnn struggled with thedefinition of artist. She couldnot draw and drawing did notinterest her, Tammy said. Yet,Tammy added, the need to cre-ate was inherent in JoAnn andthat will be obvious at JoAnn’smemorial art show, runningthrough June 30 at the IndianPrairie Public Library inDarien.
“It’s the way she processedher life. It’s an expression ofwho she was,” Tammy said.“Each piece is an extraor-dinary visual expression,representation or reactionto contemporary life. Ourlives, after all, are a collageof diverse elements andexperiences. Some are soughtout, some are presented byothers, some [are] acquiredby happenstance. Each workis a moment captured from acolorful life lived.”
JoAnn’s overall goal was topresent herself as a profession-al artist. To that end, Tammysaid, JoAnn also took classesand workshops in marketing,documenting her pieces andthe thought process behindthem and chronicling infor-mation on past exhibits andawards.
Unlike many artists, JoAnndid not work in isolation.
She was active in thePlainfield Art League, havingserved as its volunteer gallerystaff person every Friday in2010 and 2011, Tammy said.JoAnn also belonged to theMidwest Collage Society(membership chairperson)the Professional Art QuiltAlliance, the Naperville ArtLeague, the Creativity Contin-uum at TLD Design Center &Gallery in Westmont (whichTammy owns) and – in the past– to the DuPage Art League.
Furthermore, JoAnntaught both art and inde-pendence by example andmentored Tammy in her ownartistry: art wear, Tammysaid.
“She was an active partici-pant and encourager, not justfor me but others she wouldencounter through her groupsand guilds and church,” Tam-my said. “She was a helper.She was a woman of faith.”
JoAnn believed in her artand worked tirelessly to showit: craft shows, art galleriesand – once, in 1998 – at theNaperville Art League’s Riv-erwalk Fine Art Fair, a dreamcome true for JoAnn, Tammysaid.
A blogger, JoAnn’s plan for2014 was to step up her onlinepresence and increase hervisibility. Tammy is now con-tinuing her mother’s dreamby selling her mother’s workthrough the JoAnn Deck Trustand donating a percentage ofproceeds to art organizationsher mother supported, includ-ing PAL.
JoAnn was still active inPAL, said Mike Bessler, PALpresident, when she diedsuddenly on Dec. 29 at the ageof 72. Both he and JoAnn hadshared so many similar per-spectives on art, he said.
“As an artist she was ex-traordinary,” Bessler said. “As
a person, she was wonderful.”Strong and fearless; that
was JoAnn, Tammy said.JoAnn’s mother had died fromeclampsia when JoAnn wasjust five; the baby JoAnn’smother was carrying alsodied, Tammy said. JoAnnraised two children, Tammy,and also the late Randy Deckof Chicago.
But JoAnn’s legacy is herart: collages, quilts, ceramics,fused glass, digital manipu-lations of photos. Even thehome décor reflected JoAnn’sunique style, Tammy said.
In a 2008 story for TheHerald-News, JoAnn said sheworked intuitively; that colorexcited her, that she hand-dyed her fabrics; that shepreferred 100 percent cottonfabrics, but occasionally melt-ed polyesters; that her piecesweren’t vintage-looking; andthat all pieces were for sale,except one: a tribute collage toher stepmother.
“It helped me get throughthe grieving,” Deck had said.“It’s not a fabric collage, buta dimensional collage fromthings that were hers: a pieceof her watch, the mirror frominside her lipstick containerand her Washburn Schoolgraduation paper.”

The Marley Creek Bridge
The town of Marley is locatedon a short rise adjacent toMarley Creek, which orig-
inally was named North FolkCreek, and flows to Hickory Creekin nearby New Lenox Township.
Prior to settlement in the early19th century, much of the site wascovered with forest.
According to land records,nearly 82 acres of this land wasinitially purchased by PeterBolles in 1835, and a portion ofthese acres then were purchasedby Myron Nathan Marshall in1850.
In 1870, Marshall sold largetracts of land in New Lenox, Ho-mer and Frankfort Townships toArchibald Allerton for the pur-pose of raising livestock.
The southern boundary of thisland was Maple Street and themain entrance to his propertywas where the town of Marley islocated today.
Within a few years, Allerton’sland was subdivided into smalleracre farms and some land waspurchased by the Chicago StrawnRailway Company for a railwayright-of-way, and 160 acres wentto George Haley.
In the 1880s, early settlers be-gan to arrive and soon the town ofMarley began to grow. The steelbridge over Marley Creek, shownin the “then” photograph, datesfrom the late-19th century.
The bridge is located just westof the Wabash Railroad tracks onMaple Street.
In 1955, the steel bridge par-tially collapsed and soon wasrepaired and eventually replacedin 1958.
The “now” photograph showsa similar view of the bridge overMarley Creek today.

Kasemwasan islandof calm inpopmusic
The ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES – In popculture, Casey Kasem wasas sweet and dependable asa glass of warm milk and aplate of chocolate chip cook-ies, which only made the ug-liness of his last few years oflife seem more bizarre andtragic.
The radio host of “Ameri-can Top 40” and voice of ani-mated TV characters such asScooby-Doo’s sidekick Shag-
gy died Sun-day morningat a hospitalin Gig Harbor,Washington.He was 82. Hesuffered froma form of de-mentia, and
his three adult children fromhis first wife fought a bitterlegal battle with Kasem’ssecond wife, Jean, over con-trol of his health care in hisfinal months.
That made Kasem a fix-ture on news outlets thatfeed on the sleazier side ofcelebrity life at a time whenit wasn’t clear he was awareof it or even able to under-stand.
This w ouldn’ t seemall that remarkable for abad-behaving pop star or ac-tor who shed spouses withthe frequency of changingcharacters. But this wasCasey Kasem, whose workepitomized the gentler, ro-mantic side of pop culture,of a time when stars were ad-mired for their celebrity andworshipped for their talent.
“American Top 40,” withKasem’s soft, homey voicecounting down the hits, wasa refuge from shock jocks orthe screaming big-city radiovoices.
It was dependable, broad-cast on some 1,000 stationsat its peak, so if you weredriving in Connecticut orKansas, California or Ken-tucky, you could always takea measure of the pop chartswith Casey.

1Gov. Quinn signs lawbanning police ticketquotas
CHICAGO – Police ticket quo-tas are now banned in Illinoisunder legislation signed intolaw Sunday by Gov. Pat Quinn,a move supporters say willhelp restore public trust in lawenforcement.The law took effect immedi-
ately and applies to all local,county and state police depart-ments.It says municipalities and
police departments cannot re-quire officers to issue a certainnumber of citations in a certainperiod of time, and that thenumber of tickets that officerswrite cannot be used as part oftheir performance evaluations.“Law enforcement officers
should have discretion on whenand where to issue traffic cita-tions and not be forced to ticketmotorists to satisfy a quotasystem,” Quinn said in a writtenstatement, adding that the lawwill improve safety and workingconditions for police officers.The bill was sponsored by
state Sen. Andy Manar ofBunker Hill and state Rep. JayHoffman of Swansea, bothDemocrats.“Arbitrary quotas on the
number of tickets that have tobe issued by police officers un-dermines the public trust in thepolice departments’ priorities,”Hoffman said. “By eliminatingthese quotas, we can restorethat trust and ensure that po-lice officers are free to do theirjob protecting the public.”
2Hunt on for hiddencash in downtownChicago park
CHICAGO – Chicagoans scur-ried around the city’s lakefrontSunday looking for envelopesof hidden cash, then posted
photos of their good fortune onTwitter.It was all part of Hidden Cash,
a scavenger hunt craze startedin San Francisco by real estateinvestor Jason Buzi, who saidhe’s one of several peoplebehind the effort that he calls a“social experiment for good.”The altruistic group encourag-
es people who find cash to payit forward by doing somethingnice for someone else.Buzi has said many have re-
sponded by spending the cashon coffee, groceries or gas forothers or by helping the home-less and charitable causes.Hunters followed Twitter
clues to find the envelopes,some of which were placed instatues in Millennium and Ozparks. Hidden Cash also tweet-ed that there will be “a smallsurprise” on Monday, hidden ina different Chicago location.The scavenger hunts started
in San Francisco and havebeen spreading to other cities,
including New York, Houstonand Mexico City on Saturdayand Chicago on Sunday.
3Illinois investorsjump into marijuanabusiness
SPRINGFIELD – Investorsaround Illinois are jockeying forpositions in the marijuana busi-ness as they wait for the state’snew medical marijuana law tokick in. And some of them arepolitically connected.According to the Springfield
bureau of Lee Enterprises, SamBorek has reserved at leastthree-dozen marijuana-relatedbusiness names. Borek was acollege roommate of the legis-lator who sponsored the law,Democratic state Rep. Lou Langof Skokie.Those companies have names
like Illinois Medical MarijuanaSales Inc., Illinois Cannabis Re-alty Inc. and Cannabis MedicalCenters of Illinois Inc.And then there’s David Rosen
of Chicago. He was Gov. PatQuinn’s chief fundraiser in2010 and also raised money forHillary Rodham Clinton and AlGore.Rosen has filed paperwork to
open a medical marijuana busi-ness in Nevada called Waveseer.But he’s registered that businessname in Illinois, too. Rosen’sinvestors, according to staterecords from Nevada, include anumber of Quinn donors.But Borek said he already has
run into a potential hurdle.“We’ve got some checks to
invest from investors and wecan’t deposit them,” he said.That’s because banks have
so far turned him down whenhe tried to open checkingaccounts. He said the banksare worried about possiblepenalties under federal law ifthey do business with marijua-na growers and sellers.He believes he might be able
to remedy the problem byremoving the word “marijuana”
from business names.Implementation of the Illinois
law, which Quinn signed lastyear, is still months away. Underthe law, the state will allow upto 22 marijuana growing centersand 60 dispensaries as part of afour-year pilot program.

Rise of Shiite militiasposes a threat to Iraq
By HAMZA HENDAWIand QASSIM ABDUL–ZAHRA
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD – Embold-ened by a call to arms bythe top Shiite cleric, Ira-nian-backed militias havemoved quickly to the cen-ter of Iraq’s political land-scape, spearheading whatits Shiite majority sees asa fight for survival againstSunni militants who controlof large swaths of territorynorth of Baghdad.
The emergence of the mi-litias as a legitimate forceenjoying the support of theShiite-led government andthe blessing of the religiousestablishment poses a threatto Iraq’s unity, planting theseed for new sectarian strifeand taking the regional Shi-ite-Sunni divide to a poten-tially explosive level.
Iraq’s Shiite militias at-tacked U.S. forces during theeight-year American pres-ence in the country. They
also were in the lead in theSunni-Shiite killings of 2006-07, pushing Iraq to the brinkof civil war. Their deathsquads targeted radical Sun-nis and they orchestratedthe cleansing of Sunnis fromseveral Baghdad neighbor-hoods.
More recently, Shiitemilitias have been battlingalongside the forces of Pres-ident Bashar Assad andLebanon’s Shiite Hezbollahagainst mostly Sunni rebelsand militants in neighbor-ing Syria. Some of them havereturned home to Iraq – firstto fight Sunni militants inAnbar province, and now onBaghdad’s northern fringesand in Salahuddin and Ni-nevah provinces.
Those are the areas wherethe Sunni militants from theIslamic State of Iraq and theLevant, or ISIL, captured cit-ies and towns in a lightningoffensive last week. Amongtheir gains were Mosul,Iraq’s second-largest city,
and Tikrit, the hometown ofSaddam Hussein.
Security officials saidShiite militiamen have beenfighting for months on thegovernment’s side againstISIL fighters in areas westof Baghdad in mainly Sun-ni Anbar province as wellas parts of Diyala provincenortheast of the capital.They also have been fight-ing Sunni militants southof Baghdad. Their involve-ment, however, has neverbeen publicly acknowledgedby the government of PrimeMinister Nouri al-Maliki.
Their enhanced role inthe fight against the Sunnimilitants will deepen Iran’sinfluence in Iraq, giving thenon-Arab and mostly Shiitecountry a role similar to theone it plays in Syria. Tehranhas thrown its weight be-hind Assad’s government inhis struggle against mostlySunni rebels and militantsfrom al-Qaida-inspired orlinked groups.

For President Obama, freshquestions about how wars end
By JULIE PACEThe Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Fromthe Rose Garden, PresidentBarack Obama outlined atimetable for the gradual with-drawal of the last U.S. troopsin Afghanistan and said confi-dently, “This is how wars endin the 21st century.”
But less than three weeksafter his May 27 announce-ment, there is a sudden burstof uncertainty surroundingthe way Obama has moved tobring the two conflicts he in-herited to a close.
In Iraq, a fast-moving Is-lamic insurgency is pressingtoward Baghdad, raising thepossibility of fresh Americanmilitary action more thantwo years after the last U.S.troops withdrew. The chaosin Iraq also raises questionsabout whether Obama’s plansto keep a small military pres-ence in Afghanistan until theend of 2016 can prevent a simi-lar backslide there or whetherextremists are simply lying inwait until the U.S. withdrawal
deadline passes.“Could all of this have been
avoided? The answer is abso-lutely yes,” Sen. John McCain,R-Ariz., said of the deteriorat-ing situation in Iraq. McCain,one of the White House’s chiefforeign policy critics andObama’s 2008 presidentialrival, added that Obama is“about to make the same mis-take in Afghanistan he madein Iraq.”
That criticism strikes atthe heart of Obama’s clear-est foreign policy pledge: acommitment to ending theconflicts started by his prede-cessor, George W. Bush, andkeeping the U.S. out of furthermilitary entanglements.
The turmoil in Iraq pres-ents a particularly troublingdilemma for the White House.Obama’s early opposition tothe Iraq war was a definingfactor in his 2008 presiden-tial campaign and he cast thewithdrawal of all Americantroops in late 2011 as a prom-ise fulfilled. The president andhis top advisers have since cit-ed the end of the war as one
of Obama’s top achievementsin office.
But the vacuum left byAmerican forces has beenfilled by waves of resurgent vi-olence and burgeoning Sunniextremism. Still, Obama re-sisted calls for the U.S. to getinvolved, saying it was nowIraq’s sovereign government’sresponsibility to ensure thecountry’s security.
The current situation inIraq appears to have madethat stance untenable.
Obama, who once calledIraq a “dumb war,” nowsays it is clear the govern-ment in Baghdad needs morehelp from the U.S. in orderto contain a violent al-Qaidainspired group that, he said,could pose a threat to Ameri-can security interests.
While the White House isstill evaluating a range of op-tions, administration officialssay the president is consider-ing strikes with manned air-crafts, but only if Iraqi lead-ers were to outline a politicalplan for easing sectarian ten-sions.

D E T R O I T – A n t h o n yBrown keeps his home of 36years in good shape, but itis an island of tranquility ina sea of blight in Detroit’sMarygrove neighborhood.There is a vacant house nextdoor, another across thestreet and still others fartherdown Wisconsin Street.
“It was beautiful aroundhere,” Brown, a 59-year-oldFord Motor Co. worker, saidabout how things once looked.“Everybody was in the hous-es. Everybody kept theirlawns up. Everybody wasplanting flowers.”
Now he and others in bank-rupt Detroit see signs of hopein an aggressive home pres-ervation plan that MayorMike Duggan is using to lurepeople back into city neigh-borhoods. It’s no small task:A recent study recommend-ed razing more than 38,000houses. Another 35,000 are un-occupied, abandoned or gov-ernment-owned and at-riskof becoming blighted. About5,500 of those are owned by thecity or the Detroit Land BankAuthority.
Instead of razing them all,the city is highlighting the
ones that can be saved andselling them at auction to in-dividuals and families whowant to fix them and move in.That strategy, if successful,is expected to help eradicateblight and strengthen neigh-borhoods that are stable or on-the-edge.
The Land Bank began auc-tioning off one home per dayin early May. That has sincebeen expanded to two a dayand soon will grow to three.
About 50 have been sold,so far, and 6,500 bidders haveregistered on the online auc-tion site.
“We’ve sold $700,000 worthof houses,” Duggan told TheAssociated Press last week.“We’re going strong to weak.We’re starting in the stron-gest neighborhoods in thiscity and going after every sin-gle abandoned house.
“If you’ve got four aban-doned houses on a block andyou demo one house, you hav-en’t changed the quality of lifefor people on that block. If youtry to sell one house wherethere are three abandoned,nobody’s going to buy. Whenyou take the entire neighbor-hood at once and attack ev-ery single abandoned house,that’s when people are willingto invest.”

LD18 Changing pot laws promptchild-endangerment review
Pakistan armylaunches offensiveagainst militantsBy KRISTEN WYATT
The Associated Press
DENVER – A Colorado
man loses custody of his chil-
dren after getting a medical
marijuana card. The daughter
of a Michigan couple growing
legal medicinal pot is taken
by child-protection authori-
ties after an ex-husband says
their plants endangered kids.
And police officers in New
Jersey visit a home after a
9-year-old mentions his moth-
er’s hemp advocacy at school.
While the cases were even-
tually decided in favor of the
parents, the incidents under-
score a growing dilemma:
While a pot plant in the base-
ment may not bring crimi-
nal charges in many states,
the same plant can become a
piece of evidence in child cus-
tody or abuse cases.
“The legal standard is al-
ways the best interest of the
children, and you can imag-
ine how subjective that can
get,” said Jess Cochrane, who
helped found Boston-based
Family Law & Cannabis Alli-
ance after finding child-abuse
laws have been slow to catch
up with pot policy.
No data exist to show how
often pot use comes up in cus-
tody disputes, or how often
child-welfare workers inter-
vene in homes where mari-
juana is used.
But in dozens of interviews
with lawyers and officials
who work in this area, along
with activists who counselparents on marijuana andchild endangerment, the con-sensus is clear: Pot’s growingacceptance is complicatingthe task of determining whenkids are in danger.
A failed proposal in theColorado Legislature thisyear showed the dilemma.
Colorado considers adultmarijuana use legal, but potis still treated like heroin andother Schedule I substancesas they are under federal law.
As a result, when it comesto defining a drug-endan-gered child, pot can’t legallybe in a home where childrenreside.
Two Democratic lawmak-ers tried to update the law bysaying that marijuana must
also be shown to be a harm orrisk to children to constituteabuse.
But the effort led to angryopposition from both sides –pot-using parents who fearedthe law could still be used totake their children, and mari-juana-legalization opponentswho argued that pot remainsillegal under federal law andthat its very presence in ahome threatens kids.
After hours of emotionaltestimony, lawmakers aban-doned the effort as too compli-cated. Among the teary-eyedmoms at the hearing was Mo-riah Barnhart, who moved tothe Denver area from Tampa,Florida, in search of a can-nabis-based treatment for adaughter with brain cancer.
By REBECCA SANTANA andASIF SHAHZADThe Associated Press
ISLAMABAD – The Paki-stani army Sunday launcheda long-awaited operationagainst foreign and local mil-itants in a tribal region nearthe Afghan border, hoursafter jets pounded insurgenthideouts in the country’snorthwest, the army said.
The move effectively endsthe government’s policy oftrying to negotiate with Pa-kistani Taliban militantsinstead of using force to endthe years of fighting that haskilled tens of thousands ofcivilians and security forc-es. It comes a week after themilitants laid siege to thecountry’s largest airport inan attack that shocked thecountry.
The North Waziristantribal area, where the oper-ation is targeted, is one ofthe last areas in the tribal re-gions where the military hasnot launched a large opera-tion. Militant groups includ-ing the Pakistani Taliban,al-Qaida and the Haqqaninetwork have long used theregion as a base from whichto attack both Pakistan andneighboring Afghanistan.
“Using North Waziristanas a base, these terroristshad waged a war against thestate of Pakistan,” military
spokesman Gen. Asim Sal-eem Bajwa said in a pressrelease announcing the oper-ation.
The U.S. has pushed Pa-kistan to clear out militantsin North Waziristan becausethey often use it as a sanc-tuary from which to attackNATO and Afghan troops.But Pakistan has said itstroops were already toospread out across the north-west, and the military hasalso wanted political supportfrom the civilian govern-ment to carry out an opera-tion which will likely sparka bloody backlash across thecountry.
On Sunday night, the de-fense minister aggressivelysupported the operation, butthere were no commentsfrom Prime Minister NawazSharif.
“Now we have to fight thisdo or die war,” Defense Min-ister Khawaja MuhammadAsif told Pakistan’s DunyaTelevision. “We will fight ittill the end.”
There was no immediateinformation on how manytroops were involved. Themilitary said troops had beendeployed along the bordersto prevent militants fromescaping, and within NorthWaziristan troops had cor-doned off areas including thelargest cities of Mir Ali andMiranshah.

The war on “millionairesand billionaires” is back! Andat a most politically convenienttime for President BarackObama, U.S. Sen. ElizabethWarren and their party.
Yes, the president this weekhas pivoted away from irksomeforeign policy issues and ontofriendly domestic territory,with an issue Democrats see asa winner in the midterm elec-tions – the high cost of studentloan debt.
The president recentlyannounced plans to expand thenumber of student borrowerswho are allowed to cap their
loan repayments at 10 percentof their income (a unilateralmove for which the adminis-tration could provide no costestimate) along with otherunderwhelming steps to easethe burden of student debt.
More significant, the pres-ident has endorsed passage ofa bill – filed by Warren – thatwould allow student borrowersto refinance both their govern-ment and private student loansat lower rates.
And because there is noissue that this White Housecan’t reduce to a stark choicebetween good and evil – the evil
so often being those who dareto earn a hefty paycheck – well,Obama said members of Con-gress now face a choice.
“Lower tax bills for million-aires,” he said, “or lower stu-dent loan bills for the middleclass.”
Warren’s refinancing billis estimated to cost $58 billionover 10 years, a cost that wouldbe covered by closing those“loopholes” that allow thewealthy to pay rates that maybe the same or lower than indi-viduals who earn much less.
Student loan politics continueANOTHER VIEW
See LOANS, page 20
And while it’s true thatstudent loan debt is bur-dening the U.S. economy,this plan does nothing tohelp student borrowers findthe jobs they would needto repay the money theyborrowed (with knowledgeof what it would cost torepay).
And even more to thepoint, making borrowing
that much cheaper willdo nothing whatsoever tobring down the high cost ofa college education, whichis the true driver of studentloan debt.
This is nothing morethan politics as officialpolicy – the president’sshout-out to U.S. Rep. JohnTierney, a vulnerable Dem-ocrat, at yesterday’s WhiteHouse ceremony was justone of the clues – and it’s amisguided policy at that.

Playing loose propelledProvidence to a state title
Mark Smith has beencoaching baseball for 22 years,and he never had seen a groupof kids quite like he had thisspring at Providence.
“I’ve never had a goofiergroup,” he said Saturdaynight, moments after theCeltics wrapped up the Class4A state championship with a4-1 win over Chicago CatholicBlue rival St. Rita at SilverCross Field.
The Celtics (28-14) hadtimes during the season whenthey struggled, sometimesbadly. After a while, Smith de-cided it was time they shouldhave some fun.
“We had a bunch of kids,young kids, who played tightalmost the entire year,” hesaid. “It got to the point wherethey would make a mistake,they would be afraid to makeanother mistake and theywould do it again.
“When we got into the post-season, we sat them down andtalked to them about playingrelaxed. We let them be looseand that sparked them. Theyhad some fun.”
And how.Providence had postseason
games where they beat Lock-
port, 4-2, Brother Rice, 5-4,Sandburg, 5-3, Lincoln-WayNorth, 9-3, Edwardsville, 6-5,then Prairie Ridge, 8-7, in thesemifinals before knocking offSt. Rita, 4-1. More often thannot, they came from behind.
Before the championshipgame, Smith said, “These kidsknow nothing is expected ofthem. There is no pressureon them. They are out here tohave fun playing this game.Who knows what mighthappen.”
What happened is the an-nounced crowd of 4,127, manyof whom were clad in Provi-dence green, were treated toone whale of a championshipgame.
The Celtics scored a run inthe first inning on singles byDylan Rosa, Mike Madej andCam Galgano, only to have St.Rita answer with a run in thebottom of the third withoutthe benefit of a hit.
The Mustangs, in fact,did not have a hit until the
bottom of the sixth. That wasafter Rosa had put Providenceahead to stay with a solo homerun in the top of the inning.
Ah, yes, Rosa. The samekid who had so many hugehits in the postseason.
“I called that home runin the dugout,” said win-ning pitcher Jake Godfrey,who threw a complete-gametwo-hitter. “He’s our MVP fora reason.”
“If Dylan isn’t the MVP [ofthe postseason], I don’t knowwho is,” Smith said.
Back on May 19, Provi-dence played its final game ofthe regular season at JolietWest. It figured to be compet-itive. Instead, the Celtics tookadvantage of the wind blowingout, blasting hits all over andout of the yard, and won, 15-1.
“The whole season, we didnot put teams away,” Rosasaid. “That Joliet West gameturned our season around. Itlet us know we could put goodteams away. It built up ourconfidence and momentum.”
Rosa said he was beginningto think Providence could winthe state title after the Celtics

came from behind to beata good Edwardsville teamin dramatic fashion in thesupersectional at the Uni-versity of Illinois. Galgano’stwo-run double in the bottomof the sixth made it 5-3, andRosa ended it with a walkoffthree-run double in theseventh.
“Cam’s two-run doubleand then the walkoff, afterthat, everything started goingour way,” Rosa said.
Providence’s last baseballstate title came in 1982, whenthe Celtics prevailed in ClassA.
In 2011, Smith brought theteam to the 4A state champi-onship game that was favoredto win it all. But the Celticshad to settle for second bestas Lyons played a near-per-fect title game and won, 8-3.
“We were devastatedafter that loss,” Smith saidmoments before this year’stitle game. “This time, we are
going to celebrate no matter
what happens.”
What happened was the
Celtics got the game from
the Louisiana State-bound
Godfrey that he knew he had
in him. They got another
huge hit off Rosa’s bat and
contributions from the four
sophomores – Madej, Jim-
my Jeffries, Zach Pych and
Jackson Stulas – who were
so important to the team’s
success.
And, they won a state
championship for their team-
mate, senior right fielder Phil
Kunsa, who entered the state
semifinals with a .359 batting
average, 11 home runs and
46 RBIs. He was vital to the
Celtics’ lineup. He made the
spectacular catch that saved
the sectional semifinal victo-
ry over Sandburg.
But in the first inning of
the state semifinal against
Prairie Ridge, he was accused
of malicious intent in a colli-
sion with the first baseman,
who had gone up for a high,
wide throw and come down
in the base line. Kunsa was
ejected, meaning he had to
sit out that game and the title
game.
Providence attempted
to appeal but was denied.
Winning for Kunsa became a
rallying point.
“Phil will play a lot more
baseball,” Smith said. “But
it is heartbreaking for him.
Kids dream about playing in
games like this.”
The Celtics played loose,
had fun and realized the
dream of winning the state
championship.
As for taking off the reins
and letting those goofy kids
play loose in the postseason,
Smith smiled, “It’s never
going to happen again.”

EAST PEORIA – Afteraveraging over 23 wins ayear and winning nearlythree-quarters of its gamesduring its first 12 seasons,Lincoln-Way East’s softballprogram certainly had muchto be proud of, consideringthe type of schedule it regu-larly faces.
But while the Griffinshad won four sectional titlesduring that time, they onlyhad one trophy to show fortheir efforts, and that wascaptured in their first year asa program.
Ever since Aimee Loni-gro’s darkhorse squad madehistory by becoming the firstteam in state history in anyteam sport to win a champi-onship in its initial season,East had been unsuccessfulin its quest to secure anothertrophy for a top-four show-ing.
Lonigro’s teams won threemore sectional titles, cappedby a 2007 squad, which lost inthe state quarterfinals. KatieMeader and Elizabeth Paw-licki have continued the suc-cess, but the Griffins hadn’tbeen able to return to the fi-nals at Eastside Centre.
An 8-5 start to the 2014season didn’t suggest thatthe drought would end, nordid three late defeats whichresulted in the Griffins going22-10 in the regular season.
But just as that memora-ble 2002 team did, this year’ssquad put it all togetherduring the playoffs, especial-ly in an impressive stretchin the regional final and sec-tional.
Between an opening, 4-3,win over Lincoln-Way Cen-tral and a victory by the samescore over Edwardsville inthe super-sectional, East beatdefending Class 4A champMinooka, 13-2, in the regionalfinal to avenge an early-sea-son defeat.
After winning the rub-ber-game of its series withLockport by an 11-5 margin inthe sectional semifinals, theGriffins bounced back fromtwo defeats to Joliet West to
beat the Tigers, 12-2, for thesectional championship.
“We were really motivat-ed to get here and it was nicethat we did since we workedreally hard during the sea-son,” senior captain DevonMorgan said. “Every teamthat we played was reallytough so we had to be pre-pared and we made a lot goodmemories along the way.Whenever someone got a hitwe kept feeding off of eachother and that kept us going.I have faith that these girlswill do better than we did andhopefully take state.”
Although it struggledoffensively in its past twogames, collecting four hits ina 5-1 semifinal defeat to CarlSandburg and three hits in
a 6-0 loss in the third-placecontest to Glenbard North,East was certainly pleased tocapture its first trophy in 12years.
“It was a great run and wewere confident all the way,”senior captain Ashley Hessesaid. “Once the postseasonstarted, we were all into itand it was just awesome. Ilove these girls and thinkthat the ones who’ll be backcan accomplish a bunch ofgreat things.”
The fourth-place effortcapped a great spring whereEast won titles in girls trackand field and boys volleyballand the girls water polo teamalso advanced to the state fi-nals.
“This was really exciting,”
senior captain Amy Golasze-wski said. “We were basical-ly the underdogs all the wayhere, so we were just happy tobe able to come here and play.It’s always exciting whenyou get hardware for yourschool. A lot of people will bereturning and I think they’llremember the semifinal andwant to take it. I’m going toremember all of the peopleand the friends that I madeand all of the great times thatwe had.”
Since there were only fiveseniors on the squad, withcaptains Marissa Esparzaand Sarah Esposito being the
others, the Griffins may nothave to wait as long for theirnext trophy.
“It was definitely excit-ing to be down here,” Espar-za said. “It was great to seeeveryone come together andwork as a team in the postsea-son and we also scored a lotof runs, which was fun. Wehave such a young team thathopefully they can finish offnext year what we started.Because of this, we have a lotof momentum going into nextyear. Just to get down herewas an awesome experienceand I’ll definitely never for-get it.”

25USF’s Butler gets his chance with Detroit
By ROB [email protected]
In the old days, when abaseball player thought hemight get drafted, he spent theday of the draft by the phone.These days, he spends his dayon the phone, but not waitingfor it to ring.
Jake Butler, a 2010 Minoo-ka graduate who recently fin-ished a stellar baseball careerat University of St. Francis,was keeping track of the drafton his phone. Suddenly, in the29th round, he saw his namepop up as a selection by the De-troit Tigers.
“I had an idea I might getdrafted,” Butler said from theTigers’ rookie camp in Lake-land, Florida. “I had talked tosome scouts and some teamsshowed some interest, and Ihad some workouts with them.Nobody called me to tell me Iwas going to be drafted, but Ihad a feeling.
“I was watching the draft onmy phone and saw my namepop up. It was probably thecoolest feeling I have ever had.Then, people started callingme, and eventually, the scout Ihad talked to before did.”
Butler hopped a plane toFlorida, and the finance ma-jor, who has one more semes-ter to finish his degree at USF,signed a professional contractwith the Tigers last Wednes-day.
“I knew no matter what,whether I was drafted or not,that I wanted to continue play-ing baseball,” Butler said. “Acouple scouts told me that if Iended up not getting draftedthat I could always try inde-pendent baseball and try to geta look that way. But I also hada team offer to take me in thetop 10 rounds if I would signfor less money.
“I figured if there was inter-est in taking me that high, thatsomeone else would take meeventually.”
There’s good reason to takeButler. At a school with such arich baseball tradition, Butler
ranks first in career wins with33 and strikeouts with 325. Hiswin total tops the 31 by USFHall of Fame member NickCladis (1981-84), and the strike-outs eclipse the total of 305 setby Don Peters from 1987-90. Pe-ters was a first-round pick ofthe Oakland Athletics in 1990.
En route to being named
Chicagoland Collegiate Ath-letic Conference Pitcher of theYear in 2014, the right-hand-ed Butler posted a 10-2 recordwith a 2.02 ERA. In 98 innings,he collected 107 strikeouts andheld opposing batters to a .186average.
Butler completed nine ofhis 14 starts with a pair of
shutouts to help lift the Saints(38-22) to the CCAC regu-lar-season championship anda berth in the NAIA OpeningRound. Among his nine com-plete games were a one-hitteragainst Roosevelt and threetwo-hitters, including a 13-in-ning stint against Robert Mor-ris. Another of his two-hitters– against Calumet College ofSt. Joseph – earned him NAIANational Pitcher of the Weekhonors.
In his final outing as aSaint, he went the distanceas St. Francis upset then No.6-ranked Georgia GwinnettUniversity, 3-2, in the NAIAOpening Round. For his ca-reer, Butler posted a 33-9 re-cord in 53 appearances, allstarts. He notched a 2.52 ERAin 3332⁄3 innings.
Butler is confident that thelessons he learned from hiscoaches along the way, alongwith his durability during hisfour-year stint at St. Francis,
will be an advantage in the proranks.
“I am sure my durabilityhelped my chances,” he said.“I just did what my coach-es told me, took care of myshoulder and that was aboutit. I feel like one of my big-gest strengths is that I have apretty good fastball and I havepretty good control over it. Ialso have a curve, and I know Ihave to work on a third pitch,like a changeup, and get com-mand of that.
“I am not sure whetherthey will want me to start orrelieve. There were only likesix guys here when I got here,and eight more came [Thurs-day]. Our first game is June20 and we finish up at the endof August. After that, I don’tknow if I will get assignedsomewhere else or what. I willjust wait and see how it playsout.”
And, we can all keep trackof his progress on our phones.

By NOAH TRISTERThe Associated Press
BROOKLYN, Mich. – Inthe final seconds of his firstvictory at Michigan Inter-national Speedway, JimmieJohnson could finally relax abit.
“About 200 yards beforethe finish line, I knew if thecar exploded, I’d still slideacross the finish line,” John-son said.
Johnson and his No. 48Chevrolet made it throughthe last few laps with a com-fortable lead, and the six-timeseries champion won Sun-day for the first time in 25NASCAR Sprint Cup startsat MIS. Johnson outlastedpole winner Kevin Harvickby 1.214 seconds for his thirdvictory in four races. He alsowon at Charlotte and Dover.
It was the fifth victory in arow for Chevy and HendrickMotorsports. Jeff Gordon andDale Earnhardt Jr. also havewon during the streak thatdoesn’t count Jamie McMur-ray’s win for Chevy and ChipGanassi in the Sprint All-Starrace last month.

Kaymer closes out wire-to-wire U.S. Open winBy DOUG FERGUSONThe Associated Press
PINEHURST, N.C. – Mar-
tin Kaymer returned to the
elite in golf with a U.S. Open
victory that ranks among the
best.
A forgotten star for two
years while building a com-
plete game, Kaymer turned
the toughest test of golf into
a runaway at Pinehurst No. 2
on Sunday to become only the
seventh wire-to-wire winner
in 114 years of the U.S. Open.
Kaymer closed with a 1-un-
der-par 69 – the only player
from the last eight groups to
break par – for an eight-shot
victory over Rickie Fowler
and Erik Compton, the two-
time heart transplant recipi-
ent and the only player who
even remotely challenged the
29-year-old German.
So dominant was Kaymer
that no one got closer than
four shots over the final 48
holes.
Only a late bogey kept
Kaymer from joining Tiger
Woods and Rory McIlroy as
the only players to finish a
U.S. Open in double digits un-
der par. He made a 15-foot par
putt on the 18th hole, drop-
ping his putter as the ball fell
into the center of the cup, just
like so many other putts this
week.
“No one was catching Kay-
mer this week,” Compton
said, who closed with a 72 to
earn earned a trip to the Mas-
ters next April. “I was play-
ing for second. I think we all
were playing for second.”
This U.S. Open really end-
ed Friday.
Kaymer set the U.S. Open
record with back-to-back
rounds of 65 to set the pace at
10-under 130. He began Sun-
day with a five-shot lead, and
after a 10-foot par save on the
second hole, Kaymer belted a
driver on the 313-yard third
hole. The ball landed on the
front of the green and rolled
to the back, setting up a two-
putt birdie.
“He kind of killed the
event in the first two days,”
Henrik Stenson said. “He
went out and shot two 65s and
left everyone in the dust.”
Fowler, in the final group
of a major for the first time,
fell back quickly on the
fourth hole. He sent his third
shot from a sandy path over
the green and into some pine
trees and had to make a 25-
foot putt just to escape with
double bogey. Fowler played
even par the rest of the wayfor a 72.
C o m p t o n b i r d i e d t h e
eighth hole and got within
four shots until he took bogeyon the par-3 ninth, and Kay-
mer followed with an 8-iron
to 4 feet for birdie.
Kaymer finished at 9-un-
der 271, the second-lowest
score in U.S. Open historynext to McIlroy’s 268 at Con-
gressional in 2011.

CUBS 3, PHILLIES 0
ROYALS 6, WHITE SOX 3
Wood pitches Cubs past Phillies
White Sox’s slide at 4 after loss to Royals
By AARON BRACYThe Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA – It took awhile, but the Cubs at last wona series away from WrigleyField. Now, they hope to keepit going.
Travis Wood pitched hitlessball into the sixth inning andthe Cubs beat the Phillies, 3-0,Sunday, taking two of three atCitizens Bank Park.
Anthony Rizzo hit his 14thhome run and Starlin Castroadded three hits for the Cubs.
The last-place Cubs hadbeen 0-9-3 in road series thisyear, and hadn’t won a setaway from Chicago since Sept.9 to 11.
The Cubs begin a three-game trip at Miami on Mon-day.
“It’s good to win a series onthe road,” Rizzo said. “We cantake that into Miami with us.”
The Phillies finished withjust three hits against Wood(7-5).
Philadelphia manager RyneSandberg seemed frustratedthat Philadelphia’s hittersdidn’t adjust to Wood.
“The guy was pitching up inthe zone and we were hittingflyballs,” Sandberg said. “For
us not to make an adjustmentand not get on top of some ofthose balls, those are hittableballs.”
Wood didn’t allow a hit untilBen Revere’s one-out single inthe sixth. He gave up three hitsin eight innings while strikingout six and walking three.
“I felt really good today,”Wood said. “The cutter insidewas working well, and theywere kind of jamming them-selves.”
The right-hander said hewas aware of the potential
no-hitter.“You always know about
it,” he said. “Besides, a guy inthe stands let me know aboutit.”
Ramirez got his third save.The Cubs got all of the of-
fense they needed in the firstinning.
Rizzo staked Wood to anearly lead with a solo homer inthe first. It marked the eighthstraight game in which theCubs have hit a home run atCitizens Bank Park, totaling 12drives in that span.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO – The White Soxwere unable to slow down thesurging Kansas City Royals.
Another subpar perfor-mance by a starting pitcher leftthe Sox in an early catch-upmode Sunday, when the Royalshanded them a 6-3 loss, theirfourth in a row.
Andre Rienzo (4-4) allowedsix runs and six hits in the firstfour innings before he settled
down. He remained winlesssince May 20, but could keephis spot in the rotation becauseof a lack of viable options at theminor and major league levels.
“Right now, we’ll keep go-ing with him,” manager RobinVentura said. “We’ll re-access(the situation). He has just gotto pitch better. That wouldhelp, too.”
Long home runs accountedfor five of the runs, a two-run,431-foot blast by Eric Hosmer
in the first inning and a three-run, 418-foot shot by SalvadorPerez two innings later.
“I made some mistakes,and their guys enjoyed that,”Rienzo said. “After the twohome runs, I threw well, butthey definitely hurt me and theteam. I made some (better) re-sults, but I made them late.”
The Sox had 12 hits and hadat least two base runners inseven of the nine innings butstranded 13 overall.

CELEBRATING MAN’S BEST FRIENDSiegel’s Cottonwood Farm hosts annual doggie event, donates part of the proceeds
By JAN LARSENShaw Media Correspondent
CREST HILL – Those need-ing proof that man is dog’sbest friend need look no fur-ther than the fourth annualWoofapalooza, held June 8 atSiegel’s Cottonwood Farm inLockport.
“This is the best weatherand best turnout we’ve had,”owner Susie Siegel said.
Every dog attending hadits day – from Red, the searchand rescue bloodhound forNew Lenox Fire ProtectionDistrict, to Kimora, a 6-year-old malti-huahua who won thesmallest dog contest. At 2½pounds, she was quite a dif-ference from the largest dogthere, a Great Dane namedPhantom, at 145 pounds.
And let’s not forget Kitty,a black lab mix in a pink tutuwho won the pie eating con-test.
“Soon as I saw it was pump-kin, I knew,” said Kitty’s own-er, Brian Gutke of Joliet. “Shehas a sensitive stomach andwe often give her pumpkin.”
Gutke didn’t fare as wellwhen it came time for hu-mans to chow down. MarcBurchell of Joliet won thatcompetition.
Gander, a service dog, at-tended with his human, LenHodge of Chicago. Hodgeserved in Vietnam. Hodgesaid Gander “saved his life.”Yes, Gander can turn offlights and open doors when
Hodge has intermittent paral-ysis, but he also is a big helpwith post-traumatic stressdisorder.
On this day, Gander waspouting just a little becausehe wanted to play ball andHodge waned to explain theconcept of a service dog.
“He’s a labradoodle fromFreedom Service Dogs, out ofa prison in Denver,” Hodgesaid. “Gander has 250,000 fol-lowers on Facebook.”
Red, the aforementionedbloodhound, showed peoplehow good he is at search andrescue with multiple finds.Red’s handler, Ryan Mallary,a firefighter-paramedic, saidRed was a rescue who wasfound by the New Lenox fire-fighters.
“He lives full-time at thefirehouse and howls everytime a new shift comes in,”Mallary said.
Another plus: Red loveschildren.
“He can be petted all daylong,” Mallary said.
Part of the day’s proceeds– about $500 – will be donat-ed to Rescue Warriors, a res-cue/shelter in Vernon Hills,where Kaity Siegel, manager,adopted a rottweiler puppyjust three weeks ago, Kaitysaid.
“They rescue tons of pup-pies from puppy mills. Mineactually came from Oklaho-ma,” Kaity said. “They lovedthat it was going to live on afarm.”

Herrick couplerescue wildlife
By JACKSON ADAMSEffingham Daily News
HERRICK, Ill. – As rainpours down on a small farmoutside of Edgewood on Fri-day, wildlife rescuer AnneEddings looks for a fawn. Itwas supposed to be on site af-ter the man who had kept the1-year-old deer on his proper-ty without a license had beencited by the conservationpolice.
The fawn was nowhere tobe found. Eddings said if thedeer was found, she couldbring it to be rehabilitated.Unfortunately she expectsthe worst. The fawn, whichwas to be named Jane Doe,was intended to join a herdof deer in Herrick, some ofwhich the Eddings have al-ready rehabilitated.
“I wasn’t there to steal adeer,” she said as she left theproperty. “I was there to re-hab a deer and that was go-ing to be a long process.”
Anne and her husband,Ron, run Herrick WildlifeRescue, a nonprofit organi-zation which rehabilitatesanimals taken from abusiveor domesticated situationsand reintegrates them back
into the wild. While most ofthe time, individuals contactthe Eddings when they havean animal that needs to betaken care of, other times,the couple works with con-servation services to locateanimals that need to be re-habilitated, which they havebeen doing locally for fouryears.
It’s certainly not the firsttime and it won’t be the lastsomeone attempts to domes-ticate a wild animal. Eddingssaid she has taken care of anuncountable number of rac-coons that have been in peo-ple’s homes illegally withouta license. She has spent eightto nine months rehabilitat-ing them before sendingthem back into the wild.
Eddings isn’t certain whypeople take the animals outof their natural environ-ments to care for them aspets but suspects many don’trealize the permanent dam-age they’re doing.
“They take them, andthey think they’re goingto love these animals,” shesaid. “They’re still wild. Peo-ple don’t know, but if they re-ally loved them, they’d leavethem to go free.”

One thing can leadto another
Rene Descartes, a French math-ematician, philosopher and writ-er, said, “(Intuition and deductionare) the two operations on whichwe have said we must rely in theacquisition of knowledge.”
At the bridge table, we makedeductions and sometimes useintuition. A few deals involvemaking one deduction and usingthat to draw a second deduction.Today’s is an example.
South jumps into six spades.West leads the heart king. Howshould declarer plan the play?
After North made a game-invi-tational limit raise, South knewthat a grand slam would be goodif his partner held the spade king,heart king and diamond queen.But since he had no way to findout if North had that perfecto,South sensibly took a shot at sixspades.
The contract looks too easy.Draw trumps, run the diamondsand claim an overtrick. But ratherthan plunge recklessly forward,South should wonder what mightgo wrong.
The only danger is a bad splitin each pointed suit. If diamondsare 4-0, there will be a loser onlyif East has all four. If spades are3-0, declarer can avoid a loser byguessing which opponent is longin the suit and finessing throughhim.
South should assume he has adiamond loser. But if East has fourdiamonds, who is likely to be longin spades? Right -- West.
So, after taking the first trickwith his heart ace, declarer shouldcash his spade ace. Here, whenEast discards, South plays a spadeto dummy’s jack, cashes the spadeking, throws his heart five on theclub ace and concedes a diamondtrick when they do break 4-0.

Having a baby won’t fix couple’s problemsDear Abby: Lately I have
been having problemswith my live-in boyfriend,“Ethan.” We fight abouteverything, and he refusesto admit when he’s wrong.Ethan has been sleeping onthe couch for a week waitingfor me to take the first stepand reconcile.
He isn’t working and I am,and that is probably whathas him so mad. I pay all thebills, and he thinks I feel su-perior because I’m bringingin money and he’s not.
We argue day and night,swear and scream at eachother, and he does not appre-ciate everything I’m doing sowe can survive. I have twodaughters, he has one, andI’m supporting all of us.
Do you think it’s a goodidea for us to have a baby?Ethan is desperate for a child
with me – even though wecan’t get along or communi-cate. – Mary Jane In Massa-chusetts
Dear Mary Jane: Not onlydo I think it’s not a goodidea, but I think it’s a terri-ble idea. Babies are expen-sive, and you’re alreadycarrying a heavy load. Isuspect that Ethan thinks ababy will fix what’s wrong inyour relationship, but he’swrong. Don’t do it! It wouldbe a huge mistake.
Dear Abby: In the summerof 1995, I was a 12-year-oldgirl living in a motel in asuburb of Cleveland with mymother, older brother and
younger sister. We were poorand very hungry.
My mother led my young-er sister and me to a dough-nut shop for our only mealof the day. After waiting foreveryone to leave, my moth-er approached the youngwoman behind the count-er and asked to buy somedoughnuts with our foreigncoins. It was the only moneywe had.
Instead of turning usaway, she told my mother:“We’re allowed to give awaya certain number of freedoughnuts every day. Justtell me what you want.”(I don’t know if this wastrue.) It was because of herkindness that my family atethat day.
If that kind woman isreading this, I want to say:“Thank you. You made the
hunger go away for just alittle bit, so a mother and herchildren could go a day with-out pain. You remain foreverin a little girl’s heart.” – Urs-ala In Messina, Italy
Dear Ursala: I, too, hopeyour benefactor sees yourletter. Her generosity thatday provided nourishmentnot only for your bodies,but also for your faith in thehumanity of others – and Iam sure you have emulatedher example in the years thathave followed. After all, isn’tthat what acts of kindnessare all about?
Dear Abby: Once a year Iinvite my mother, who livesin Arizona, to visit me inCalifornia. This year, Momhas decided to bring one ofmy sisters along because“she really needs a vaca-tion.”
My sisters live in thesame city as Mom and canvisit her anytime theyplease. I see Mom once ayear at most, and I do notwant to share my limitedtime with her. How do I letmy sisters know they’re notwelcome without causing afamily rift? – Wants QualityTime With Mom
Dear Wants: You shouldn’thave to tell your sisters. Theperson you need to tell isyour mother, who should nothave invited anyone withoutclearing it with you first. Be-cause you’re having troublewith what to say to her, readher the second paragraph ofyour letter to me. She mayhave been well-meaning, butshe was misguided.

DEAR ABBY
Combine medication and psychotherapy to treat OCDDear Dr. K: I’ve been struggling
with obsessive-compulsive disorder
for years. Is there any effective treat-
ment for it?
Dear Reader: There are better treat-
ments today than there were when I
went to medical school. As you know,
in obsessive-compulsive disorder
(OCD), a person is troubled by per-
sistent, intrusive, anxiety-provoking
or distressing thoughts (obsessions).
He or she feels pressure to carry
out excessive, repetitive behaviors
(compulsions).
A person with OCD tries to relieve
his or her obsessions by perform-
ing a compulsion. The goal of the
compulsion is to reduce the anxiety
caused by obsessive thoughts. For
example, a woman who has the
obsession that her hands are dirty
might develop the compulsion to
wash them 50 times a day.
OCD can affect anyone from any
walk of life. A person can be extreme-
ly accomplished at what he does, but
just spend a few hours a day (usually
alone) performing his compulsive
act. I know of a famous and brilliant
scientist who was at the top of his
field. However, he spent several
hours each night on his knees, scrub-
bing the grout between the tiles on
his laboratory floor. He felt he had to
keep the grout completely free of dirt.The type of antidepressants
known as selective serotoninreuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) canhelp control OCD symptoms. If oneSSRI isn’t effective, another mightwork better. But even with the mosteffective SSRI, symptoms usuallydon’t disappear completely. Youmight need to combine an SSRI withanother drug, such as a tricyclicantidepressant. These drugs can beeffective, but they are more likely tohave unpleasant side effects.
Patients often get the best resultswhen they combine SSRIs with sometype of psychotherapy. The two to-gether often are more effective thaneither used alone.
A number of psychotherapy tech-niques might help. One technique iscognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).CBT helps a person with OCD recog-nize his fearful, obsessive thinkingis unreasonable. The therapist mightteach specialized techniques that canhelp extinguish the compulsions. Forexample:
• Exposure and response prevention.
A person is exposed to situationsthat provoke obsessive thoughts.He or she is then prevented fromperforming the usual compulsiveritual, for gradually increasingamounts of time – and sees thatnothing bad happens as a result.
• Habit reversal. A person isasked to substitute a different re-sponse, such as deep breathing, forthe usual compulsive ritual.
• Thought stopping. The personuses some form of distractionwhenever an obsessive thoughtoccurs, such as thinking about afavorite vacation spot, or the ninthinning of the last game of theirfavorite World Series.
• Saturation. The person concen-trates intensely on the obsessivethought until the thought loses itsimpact and becomes meaningless.
You might need to try more thanone approach, or combination ofapproaches, before you find the onethat is right for you.
But most of my patients withOCD have been successfully treat-ed, so keep trying and don’t giveup.
