— Mentor program for District 211 alumni celebrates first college grads – Eric Peterson (DIERSEN: What percent of your high school classmates that you graduated with earned a bachelor’s degree within 4 years? Did you have a mentor? I did not. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180713/mentor-program-for-district-211-alumni-celebrates-first-college-grads
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A program pairing low-income, first-generation college students who are Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 alumni with mentors to help them through their higher education celebrated its first graduates at a dinner Thursday night at Palatine High School. Eight of the original 30 students in the Excel Beyond 211 program — 27 percent — received their college degrees within four years, organization President and former District 211 Superintendent Nancy Robb said. That far exceeds the national average for this demographic of college students, in which just 11 percent graduate in six years, she said. The new graduates are now eligible to be mentors themselves for future college students with similar backgrounds.)

ABC7
— ‘My car was eaten by animals’: Paul Ryan says woodchucks destroyed his SUV – Danny Clemens (DIERSEN: I stored my 1972 Corvette in my mother’s garage in Crete 1971-1984 and then in my attached garage at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton since 1984. Since 1995, it has been stored on a lift in the garage. I have not started it since 2009. Of course, my excuse is that I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)
http://abc7chicago.com/politics/paul-ryan-my-car-was-eaten-by-animals/3758684/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ryan hasn’t driven in the three years he’s served as Speaker of the House, he said, because his government security detail provides transportation. During his time in office, the car was left in Wisconsin with his mother, who made a point to turn it on regularly to make sure that the engine still ran. When his mother returned recently from spending the winter in Florida, she found that the SUV wouldn’t start. Ryan had the Suburban towed to a mechanic, who deduced that a family of woodchucks had taken up residence in the underbody the vehicle. “They ate all of the wiring out of it…my car was eaten by animals. It’s just dead,” Ryan said.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps crow about their success in promoting protests against Trump in Scotland.
http://nprillinois.org/post/thousands-turn-out-protest-against-president-trump-scotland
(FROM THE ARTICLE: He was greeted by protesters on a nearby beach chanting, “No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA.” Earlier, the BBC reported that police were investigating how a paraglider was able to fly close to Trump’s Turnberry resort with a banner that read, “Trump: Well below par.” As the president was golfing, a crowd of approximately 10,000 was marching in Edinburgh, according to The Guardian. In Glasgow, The Washington Post reported that Scottish police estimated the crowd in the city’s St. George Square to be less than 1,600 people. Jonathon Gillies, a 27-year-old bar worker from Glasgow, told The Washington Post that “nobody here is against Americans. They are welcome to come here anytime. It’s just Trump we have a problem with.” The BBC reported that protest organizers wanted to speak out against “Trump’s politics of division and hatred.”)

CHEROKEE TRIBUNE LEDGER NEWS
— More than 800 positions shopped at Springfield jobs fair, and veterans got first dibs. – Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified veteran, Democrat, minority, female, or younger person who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified veteran, Democrat, minority, or female who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified veteran, Democrat, minority, or female who would take the job. All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, the agency downsized. But all during those 18 years, the agency’s employees who were veteran, minority, female, and/or younger (under age 30) were protected from the adverse impacts of that downsizing.)
