Local legislators say Illinois is a ‘payer state’

By Laura Katauskas bugle staff

I

n a bipartisan effort, local legislators are coming together to force a closer look at the path federal dollars take in funding local initiatives, calling attention to what they called Illinois’ “payer state problem.”

Congressman Bill Foster delivered a keynote address early last week on the issue at an event hosted by State Rep. Natalie Manley at the Romeoville Village Hall.

“If there is one thing I could do to fix what is happening in Illinois, this would be it,”

said Foster. He explained that every year, tens of billions of dollars leave Illinois in the form of federal taxes, yet the state receives only a fraction of those resources in federal spending. Foster continued that the state, in essence, could solve its budget crisis if this issue was solved.

Foster continued that the state, in essence, could solve its budget crisis if this issue was solved.

Foster breaks it down as states that are considered payer states and others that are taker states. The taker states are mainly those that are smaller in size, benefiting from funding formulas that disperse money in lump sums rather than calculating need based on population.

For example, small states will always benefit in receiving federal disaster funds.

The formula dictates that if the damage exceeds $1.32 per person, the state is declared a disaster.

Trick-or-treat times set Towns plan additional Halloween activities

Trick or treating hours for Joliet, Crest Hill and Lockport are 4 to 7 p.m. on Halloween.

The City of Joliet suggests that houses wanting to be visited by trick or treaters should leave porch lights on, parents should accompany all young children while trick or treating.

Children should be reminded to practice caution when crossing the street and cross only at intersections when traffic is clear. Motorists should also be careful and alert during and around these hours. Parents are reminded to dress children in bright, visible costumes.

Lockport Township to launch new prescription drug savings program Card will be available for residents at most pharmacies, governmental offices

Trick-or-treat times joliet: 4 to 7 p.m. crest hill: 4 to 7 p.m. lockport: 4 to 7 p.m.

Note: The City of Joliet suggests that houses wanting to be visited by trick or treaters should leave porch lights on.

Lockport Township Supervisor Ron Alberico and the Lockport Township Board of Trustees have launched a new prescription drug discount program to help the residents of Lockport Township.

The new Coast2Coast Rx card will allow all Township residents, regardless of income, age or health status to participate in the program and save on the cost of their medications.

Even pets and people living outside the Township are able to take part in the program. The Rx card will be distributed free of charge and may be used at all pharmacy chains and most independent pharmacies in Lockport Township and includes over 60,000 drugs in its formulary.

spending | from page 1 “Why?! If the exact same thing happens in a bigger state, the bigger state would not be declared a disaster. It makes no sense. If it happened in Iowa, they would get funding. If the same exact thing happened in Illinois, we would not.

This is just insane.”

Foster explained the reality of the situation, the same storm hit New York and Vermont. New York received zero in federal funding, while Vermont received $1.8 million. Illinois has ranked in the bottom three states in the amount of federal spending since the 1980s.

According to Foster, Illinois residents pay $1,468 more in taxes than the U.S. average—totally $19 billion extra in state taxes.

Spending aside, Foster said the problem doesn’t end there, but continues in where federal money is steered, be it construction, military, or public assistance.

“But these funds don’t come equally—we are getting rooked there too,” said Foster.

He estimates that Illinois residents receive $1,800 less than the U.S. average in federal spending per person, totaling nearly $24 billion per year. According to those totals, in 2013, approximately $43 billion flowed out of Illinois, said Foster.

What could you do with a $20 billion a year? Foster equates it to

“With healthcare costs on the rise, prescription drug discounts will help ease some of the financial burdens individuals and families are facing at a time when they need it the most,” said Ron Alberico Lockport Township Supervisor. “There are no eligibility requirements so the Rx card is expected to have a sizeable impact on uninsured residents or residents facing high insurance deductibles.

If a particular drug isn’t covered under a person’s health plan – they can use the card to save on those prescriptions.”

Providing savings for residents through the Rx program will come at no expense to the Township. Besides the discount on prescriptions, the card also provides 50 to 80 percent

100 high-speed road bridges, 200 elevated parks or an awesome amount of infrastructure.

In federal highway funding, Illinois is again ranked at the bottom; receiving $89.62 per person, per year. In comparison, Montana receives $353.65 and Alaska receives $609.20.

“It’s a death by a thousand cuts, as money is continually steered out of Illinois,” said Foster. Funding levels need to be funded per person, not per state….We have to stop subsidizing our smaller states.”

He added that Illinois would not have a budget crisis if it were not a payer state “There was a time when we could afford this. That time has passed,” Foster said.

At the federal level, Foster has introduced the Payer State Transparency Act and formed the bipartisan Payer State Caucus to study this problem and identify possible solutions.

Foster introduced the Payer State Transparency Act to study the root causes of this problem and look for solutions. The legislation would develop a comprehensive accounting of each state’s net flow of federal funds, ensuring more transparency in where and how taxpayer dollars are being spent.

“This is no silver bullet because this is a problem that has been building for decades but we can start the conversation and get the

discounts for lab and imaging tests, further helping residents save even more money on their health care costs for these services.

Debby Karton, Benefits Coordinator at IPPFA Benefits, the distributor of the Coast2Coast Rx free discount card, said, “We are pleased to work with the Township to help individuals, their families and pets combat the rising cost of healthcare.”

“We appreciate all that the Township and local pharmacies are doing to help those in need,” Karton added.

The Coast2Coast Rx card will be available for residents at most participating pharmacies, governmental offices, libraries and the Lockport Township offices. Residents will also be able to print the Rx card, check their prescription prices and view the nearest participating locations.

ball rolling to get this problem fixed,” said Foster.

In Illinois, Representative Manley introduced House Resolution 209, which urges Congress to pass Foster’s bill. House Resolution 209 passed the Illinois House of Representatives unanimously May 30.

Following the event on Oct. 20, State Senator Pat McGuire introduced Senate Resolution 1102, urging to pass Foster’s Payer State Transparency Act. “Washington’s method of apportioning federal funds to states, like Illinois’ tax structure, belongs in a museum,” McGuire said. “I’m gathering support in the Illinois Senate for Rep. Bill Foster’s thoughtful, bi-partisan push to modernize the process and get Illinois its fair share.”

Foster applauded the moves of both Manley and McGuire and said the problem cannot begin to be fixed without authenticated accounting, state-level support and public awareness. The event also featured presentations from social service organizations and local legislators on the effects of the payer state problem and the underinvestment in community services caused by a lack of resources.

Plainfield North mourns beloved teacher Family, friends remember slain teacher as caring and compassionate

By Jonathan Samples bugle staff

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

Susan Triplett-Cunningham was a physical education and health teacher at Plainfield North High School, but her students knew her simply as Miss Trip.

“She was the teacher everyone went to when they had a problem,” said Jacob Gansz, a 2014 graduate of Plainfield North. “She always told me to keep going, to get through it, and you’ll have a good life.”

Gansz was one of several former students who spoke during a candlelight vigil held Oct. 21 to honor the life of their favorite teacher. More than 300 current and former students, faculty, friends and family gathered to mourn Susan Cunningham, who was fatally stabbed the previous evening at her home in the 25000 block of Prairie Grove Court.

A short time later, Craig J. Cunningham, Susan’s husband and suspect in her murder, walked into traffic on Interstate 55 and was killed. Both deaths are still under investigation.

It was in the shadow cast by this tragedy that the Plainfield North community gathered Wednesday evening; their goal was to bring light to the darkest time in the school’s 10-year history and begin the process of mourning their beloved Miss Trip.

“How do we mourn something

I think that’s the first step in mourning her loss.”

Cunningham came to Plainfield North in 2006, but her employment at District 202 began at Plainfield High School Central Campus in 2002. Superintendent of Schools Lane Abrell hired Cunningham back then, when he was the principal at Plainfield Central. “[She was] a valued member of the staff, great with kids and a very positive person,” Abrell said in a statement. “All District 202 employees mourn Sue’s passing.”

That sentiment was shared by current Plainfield North principal Raymond Epperson, who said he’s impressed with the caring and support his school displayed following the tragedy.

“The staff pulled together today to support the students, and I see students supporting each other,”

Plainfield North graduate Jacob Gansz shares memories of his late former teacher. he said during the community vigil. “Ms. Triplett was a person who cared. I think the way that the students reacted today [and] will continue to act in the next weeks to come is a testament to her.”

During the vigil, students passed around copies of “Trips Tips,” a list of self-empowering habits she encouraged her students to follow on their life’s journey. Among them, “Dream big,” “Find something you like to do and work hard,” “Don’t keep unhealthy relationships,” and “Do what you can to help others.”

Epperson said the school is planning to put up a banner containing “Trips Tips,” as a way to honor her place at Plainfield North and pass along her inspiring words to future students.

Cunningham’s brother, Dan Brown, and closest friend, Elly Stonis, also spoke during the vigil. They said the outpouring of support they’ve experienced is evidence of the positive impact their sister and friend had at the school.

“I hope that you all remember her “Trips Tips” and everything that was listed because they meant the world to her,” a visibly shaken

Stonis told the crowd. “Everything that she listed... is truly how she wanted you to lead your life. She wanted you to value your own life and yourself in your own unique, special way.”

Shaye Soto was one of several students who remembered Miss Trip, but the 2015 graduate of Plainfield North said she was much more than a teacher.

“She didn’t need to be connected to us by blood; she was our family,” Soto said. “She was the best person I’ve ever known...and I know that for most of you it was the same.

I don’t think that I’ll ever meet anyone as great and beautiful and kind hearted and optimistic as her.”

Soto added that she taught all

of them valuable lessons during her time at the school and hopes that the community can take something away from her tragic death.

“We can all only learn to take nothing for granted and love those who are close to us,” she said. “Sue was taken from us way too soon.

For many of us, life will never be the same, but we are determined to carry Sue’s legacy on for years and years to come.”

Memorial visitation will be held Saturday, Oct. 24, from 2-6 p.m. at Community Christian Church, 1635 Emerson Lane, Naperville.

Ciesniewski will officiate a celebration of Cunningham’s life immediately following visitation at 6 p.m.

Staff Opinion

Fighting domestic violence is everyone’s responsibility October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month but domestic violence knows no boundaries

“She became a victim of domestic violence; a thing she taught us all about.”

Those words came from Shaye Soto, a 2015 graduate of Plainfield North High School and former student of Susan Triplett-Cunningham, who was tragically murdered Oct. 20 in what police have called a “domestic-related homicide.”

Soto spoke during a candlelight vigil held at the school in memory of her former teacher. And while the details of her teacher’s death are not yet official, the incident underscores a sobering truth: domestic violence is closer to all of us than we’d like to admit and its victims are often discouraged from seeking help.

Police suspect that Cunningham’s husband fatally stabbed his wife before walking into traffic and taking his own life. This tragedy is all too real for the friends and family of the victim, yet its timing and impact provide an opportunity for all people to reflect on a problem that is all too common throughout our society.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The month is a time when people across the country unite to remember and empower victims, while raising awareness of the effects domestic violence has on

families across the country. Officially, the month is centered around three themes: mourning those who have died, celebrating those who have survived and connecting those who are working to end domestic violence.

“During National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we reaffirm our dedication to forging an America where no one suffers the hurt and hardship that domestic violence causes -- and we recommit to doing everything in our power to uphold the basic human right to be free from violence and abuse,” President Obama said Sept. 30 in a proclamation commemorating National Domestic Violence Awareness.

In 1994, congress passed the Violence Against Women Act, symbolizing that dedication and bringing to light the pervasiveness of domestic violence in America. The act also set aside funds for the investigation and prosecution of violent crimes against women and allowed for civil redress in cases that go unprosecuted.

But sadly, the act has neither eradicated domestic violence from our culture nor convinced some that it is a serious problem -- as demonstrated by the political fight to reauthorize the VAWA in 2013 because of its inclusion of American Indians, illegal immigrants and homosexuals.

Domestic violence and abuse affect all types of people and comes in many forms: verbal, emotional, psychological, sexual and physical. According to

statistics from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1 in 3 women have been victims of physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetimes, and 1 in 5 women have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner at some point in their life.

Men are also the victims of domestic violence, with 1 in 4 suffering physical violence and 1 in 7 suffering severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

Additionally, 72 percent of all murder-suicides involve an intimate partner and 94 percent of those victims are female.

Despite these tragic statistics, our society has chosen to turn its head and ignore this troubling and inconvenient truth.

We do this by still praising athletes who have been convicted of rape or spousal abuse or by choosing to forget their crimes, as long as they continue to perform at a high level. We do this by ignoring signs of abuse at work or in other public settings, telling ourselves that it’s a “personal” matter and failing to listen to victim’s cries for help. We do this by perpetuating a culture of patriarchy that teaches suppression and subjugation of qualities deemed “feminine,” soliciting from some a violent reaction when the realities of the 21st century clash with social “norms” that have been reinforced from a young age.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month but domestic violence knows no boundaries. I choose to confront this ever-present problem by being aware of its existence. Will you?

VOLLEYBALL

Davito

leads Flyers Crest Hill native is fifth-year senior for Lewis volleyball team

By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

The Lewis University women’s volleyball team has had a good deal of success this year at 211, 9-0 in the GLVC and has been doing so with multiple locals on the team, including three from the Voyager Media coverage area.

One is senior Alexis Davito, a Crest Hill native and Lockport graduate, who is in her fifth year with the team.

“Being the only fifth-year senior is weird but it is kind of nice,” Davito said. “Having a lot of freshmen and new blood on the court and the chemistry and nice. I think we have a good chance to do some good things.”

After years of looking up to seniors, she is now that leader.

She hopes she can have the positive impact on others that those before her have had on her.

“I’m trying,” Davito said of being a leader. “Our team is unique and everyone tries to take their own leadership. I think the program has really helped me grow so I just want everyone else to do the same.”

Davito has been able to play in front of friends and family over the years and she would have it no other way.

“The parent base is amazing so we always have fans,” Davito said.

“So being local is great because

we always feel like we’re home.

We’re never far away. My brother goes here as well, so the whole family is here. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. I always have someone here supporting me.”

While Davito has had a good amount of success while on campus at Lewis, there is one more thing she would like to accomplish before her career is done after the season.

“Making it to the Sweet 16 would be great,” Davito said.

“Since I’ve been here, we haven’t made it out of first round of regionals and it is about time we do. I think we just need to want it and play that way.”

For the season Davito leads the team with 227 kills and a .332 hitting percentage, along with 37 aces, also a team high.

With Davito finishing up her career, the future of the Flyers’ offense may be Plainfield freshman Elizabeth Hyland.

Hyland has come out of the gates fast, starting as a freshman, playing all six rotations. She has 225 kills, 16 aces, 242 digs and 34 blocks.

“I’ve had so much support from not only the coaches but the entire team,” Hyland said.

“I wouldn’t be able to do this without all my teammates on the sidelines.”

Even though she has started from the beginning, there have been adjustments.

SOCCER

Joliet West advances to regional championship

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

There is a rule of thumb in sports like soccer and hockey, that if you keep shooting and keep getting chances, eventually a goal will go in.

That was not the case last week for Joliet West soccer as the No. 5 seed Tigers fell 2-0 in the Joliet West Regional final to No. 1 Normal.

Ironmen sophomore goalie stopped everything kicked at him in his first varsity start in goal.

“Their keeper played extremely well. I can’t count how many wonderful saves he made on us.

We kept putting the ball on frame, on frame, on frame and he kept responding,” said West coach Patrick Korthauer. “He moved side to side extremely well and up top. We tried shots from up close, from a distance it just didn’t make a difference.”

Korthauer was happy with the team’s performance despite the loss.

“I thought we played extremely well, they are a good team,” he said.

“I am very proud of the effort they had and they didn’t give up until the very end and when you see the end in sight that is hard to fight through it. Defensively we have been so strong all season.”

It was Emmanuel Ndjoli who

tallied both goals for Normal.

Despite the seeds, Korthauer said the Tigers (13-9-1) believed they could win.

“There was an expectation to win tonight,” he said. “We didn’t really look at the rankings. We knew we had a good team and if we played our best, the chips would fall our way – it just didn’t happen tonight.”

What Korthauer is most proud of is the senior class and what they have given to the program to have the Tigers in a position to compete for a regional title.

“We have a lot of seniors on this team and they have done a lot of work laying the ground work for this program. The last two years we have been on such an upswing and it is because of that class,” he said.

“We are going to do our part with the underclassmen to continue the pace and expectation of winning that they set.”

Korthauer said he knows what the whole team feels, but hopes they realize what they accomplished this season.

“It hurts right now,” he said. “But I know they can look back on this game the season and be extremely proud because we are of them.”

To get to the regional title game, West defeated East Moline United 1-0. Normal had to escape Joliet Central with a 4-3 win in overtime to reach the game.

TENNIS Locally, there were several tennis players who competed at the state meet last week.

Joliet’s Eilen Carey went 4-2 in the tournament, falling in the 6th round of the consolation bracket.

She opened with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Lindsay Huang of Urbana University High and a 6-0, 6-0 win over Shelby Jones of Alton Marquette.

After a loss to Cammy Frei of New Trier, 6-0-6-3, she defeated Jessie Mitchell of Payton 6-1, 6-4 and Christina Su, of Normal

Kory Hayden and Joliet West fell to Normal in the regional University. She then fell to Samantha Choi of Wheaton Warrenville South 6-3, 6-1 to end her run.

For JCA, Nina Bertino and the doubles team of Maddie Bauer and McCoy Hutchison also fell in the 6th round of the consolution.

Bertino won three straight to open, defeating Skye Palumbo of Lake Park (6-0, 6-1), Hannah Hougland of Hampshire (6-1, 6-1), Caroline Maltby of Glenbard West (6-3, 6-3). Bertino then fell 6-0, 6-1 to Michelle Bacalla of Niles North and 7-5, 6-2 to Jelena Vujanic of Elk Grove.

On the doubles side, Bauer and Hutchison had the same fate going 3-2. They opened with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Julia Riddle and Claire Meyer over York a 6-1, 6-0 win over Molly Gillis and Jill Johnson of Washington and a 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 win over Alexandra Zoubareva and Elizabeth Ferdman of Stevenson. The tandem then fell 6-3, 6-0 to Stefana Vasic and

Lahari Yelamanchili, of Lyons and 7-5, 6-4 to Brittany Henry and Kaela Mack of HomewoodFlossmoor.

Lockport’s players were all eliminated in the third round of consolation bracket.

Tomi Jo Mansel lost Sarah Hackman of Wauconda 6-0, 6-1 before beating Brenna Hogan of Rock Island Alleman and Hannah Blythe of Vandalia, both 6-0, 6-1 before falling 6-2, 6-2 to Hallie Leblebijian of Lane.

In doubles, the pair of ailey Bruining and Mary Kate Bucheitt defeated Nikki Tatsuguchi lost to Lia Boucek of Grayslake Central 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 They then lost to Jessica Ampel and Abbey Moore, of Evanston before defeating Amanda Mickel and Emma of Templin Dunlap 7-5, 7-6 (2).

Their season came to a close with a 6-4, 6-1 loss to Molly Rueth and Molly Hughes of Glenbard West.

FOOTBALL

Minooka earns way into playoffs, JCA wins ESCC

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

CLASS 8A In the state’s largest class, the IHSA has gone away from the geographic pairings and are a true 1-32 seeded bracket this season.

There are three undefeated teams in 8A, led by No. 1 overall seed Loyola. Second seed Huntley and No. 3 Edwardsville are the other 9-0 teams.

Records aside, No. 8 HomewoodFlossmoor still remains the team to beat in Class 8A. A loss on a field goal at the end of regulation dropped the state’s top-ranked team to 8-1. The Vikings would get a chance to prove they are still the best in a potential quarterfinal tilt with Loyola.

MINOOKA Record: 5-4 Consecutive appearances: 1 Week 1: No. 31 Minooka at No. 2 Huntley - 1pm, Saturday, Oct. 31 Outlook: The Indians needed a win over Plainfield North in the final game of the season just to earn its fifth win and be playoff eligible. It is Minooka’s first time in the playoffs since 2011. The Indians also have to send a card to Lockport for its win over Joliet West in week 9. The Porter win gave Minooka that much-needed one more point and eliminated Joliet West, another potential 5-4 qualifier.

Minooka is tied with West Aurora and Clinton with 35 playoff points (total number of wins by your opponents), the lowest of all

Matt Brozovich and the Indians beat Plainfield North to qualify.

qualifiers in any class. The 13 wins by teams defeated is the most of the 35 point teams.

The Indians draw No. 2 seed Huntley in the opening week.

Huntley has the fourth-largest point differential in Class 8A, scoring 41.3 points per game and allowing only 14.6, a differential of 26.8.

Minooka has a differential of only 2.7 points, scoring 24.7, while allowing 22.0.

Huntley is going for a schoolrecord 10 wins, after going undefeated for the first time this year.

The Chargers are led by quarterback Anthony Binetti and running back Eric Mooney.

They will have to deal with Blake Parzych and the Minooka defense.

On offense, quarterback John Carnagio captains the Indians, while Jaccor Blakney is the main ground attack. bracket will eliminate a lot more

12 lewis | from page 9 “It is a really fast pace,” Hyland said. “And just learning how Lewis does everything. But the girls have been really helping me and make the transition a lot easier.”

Hyland proved the hard work

Wedn esday, October 28, 2015 | bug lenewspapers.com does pay off.

“I worked my butt off and if it happened, it happened,” she said. “My goal was obviously to start, but I was going to be happy wherever I was put and needed.”

A big thrill for the freshman is playing in front of her home

crowd at Lewis.

“It’s awesome, I love it,” Hyland said. “I love looking up and seeing familiar faces in the crowd. I don’t think I could go to a place far away where my family wouldn’t be able to go. It is great to have them up there cheering

me on.”

Going forward, Hyland knows there are areas where she can improve on.

“I think I just need to relax and play my game,” Hyland said. “I can over-think things. I want my serve-receive and my hitting

spots to improve.”

Davito feels she doesn’t need to do much mentoring with Hyland.

“She is actually my little sister on the team,” Davito said of Hyland. “I think she is incredible.

I don’t need to do much leading with her. She kind of takes it upon herself to do it herself.

She does a great job of not only watching girls in front of her but establishing herself.”

Moving to the back row, junior defensive specialist Carolyn Nojiri of Downers Grove has been happy with the season so far. For the year she has 48 digs.

“It’s been good,” Nojiri said.

“To have two freshmen setters, it has been really good to see how they have meshed with the hitters.”

While she has seen some action this volleyball season, Nojiri is most known for being a two-sport collegiate athlete, as she is also a softball player and had the second highest average on the team last year.

But, playing two sports doesn’t come easy.

“It has its ups and downs,” Nojiri said. “I haven’t been to a lot of softball stuff lately because it has been hectic with volleyball.

But, I wouldn’t have it any other way. It is the best of both worlds to play both of the sports I love.”

Playing two sports does make things harder in the fall though as she misses the fall softball season.

“It does because I am missing the fall season of softball because I’m in season for volleyball,” Nojiri said. “But I work my butt off in the offseason for the upcoming season, so I don’t feel I am behind, actually.”

Wedn esday, OctOber 28, 2015 | bug leneW spapers.cOm playoffs | from page 11 of conference opponents meeting in the first week of the playoffs, this is one that should be a good one for the fans.

The teams pose a couple of highpowered offenses as Notre Dame averages 36.7 points per game and Marist tallies 38.7. The Don defense, however, allowed only 19.0 points per game, allowing only Marist to better the 35-point mark this season.

plainField SoUth Record: 5-4 Consecutive appearances: 1 Week 1: No. 26 Plainfield South at No. 8 Barrington - 4pm Saturay, Oct. 31 Outlook: The Cougars overcame two non conference losses to make the playoffs. After a slow start offensively, they have performed better in the second half of the season.

However, the defense, after dominating several weeks of the year, has allowed four scores in two of the past three weeks. The defense needs to find its midseason form and force a few turnovers, while the offense needs to stay clear of turnovers and maintain possession of the ball to keep the defense from tiring as South looks for its first win

in the playoffs since 2010.

Meanwhile, Barrington has lit up the scoreboard this year, scoring 357 points. However, it is willing to give up points as well, allowing 203. The Broncos have allowed double digit points in all but one game this year.

The offense has scored at least 24 points in every game, including 40 or more points six times. It will be a contrasting game between the two teams to determine who will move on. The winner will face the winner of Marist (5-4) and Notre Dame (81).

claSS 5a Unlike the state’s two big conferences, Classes 1A-6A remained in two geographic break up to help limit travel. The No. 1 seed in the North bracket is Chicago Westinghouse, while Washington holds the spot in the South.

The North 16 includes six schools from the city of Chicago as well as three teams from the East Suburban Catholic Conference.

The move many were hoping would take place, with Joliet Catholic Academy and defending state champion Nazareth being split up and meeting in the state title game did not happen as the Hilltoppers being sent north and meet in the

13

quarterfinals.

Of local interest, Marian Catholic is coached by former JCA football player and Joliet Central coach Mike Maloney.

Jca Record: 8-1 Consecutive appearances: 18 Week 1: No. 14 Vernon Hills at No. 3 JCA – 7:30 pm Friday, Oct. 30 (Joliet Memorial Stadium) Outlook: The Hilltoppers open the playoffs with a match with Vernon Hills with a possible rematch with ESCC foe and former JCA product Mike Maloney and Marian Central Catholic.

While the JCA offense has been what it normally is, averaging 38.4 points per game with quarterback Cade Earl and running back Michael Johnson.

The Hilltoppers are hoping to have injured running back Harry Davis back to full strength during the run.

It is the JCA defense that has stepped up this season allowing only 16.3 points per game.

Vernon Hills is scoring only 27.9, while allowing 14.3.

It is Vernon Hills’ first appearance in the playoffs since 2010 and they are led by quarterback Connor McNamara.

County recorder warns against deed solicitations Be cautious of documentation received in the mail Will County Recorder, Karen A. Stukel, is advising Will County residents to be cautious of documentation that they receive in the mail from companies offering to provide copies of their deed or property profiled for a service fee.

The most recent mailing is from a company named the Local Records Office out of Pekin, Illinois.

This company is soliciting citizens

to purchase information. This is very similar to solicitations from companies such as Illinois Dee Provider and Record Retrieval.

The company provides the document number, which is from the Will County Recorder’s land record system. They also

provide the PIN number. This is information that is either on the tax bill or available on the deed that is filed at the Recorder’s officer at little to no cost.
