mhendrickson@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – Riverside police announced the arrest of two gang members on Friday, just a week after one of the men allegedly fled from a police officer in Riverside and caused multiple accidents as he drove away, later escaping on foot. Michael Gracia, 21, of the 1300 block of Wisconsin Avenue in Berwyn, was arrested and charged Oct. 31 with several felony counts and numerous traffic citations by the Riverside Police Department. Additional charges were filed by the Lyons Police Department for crashes that occurred on Ogden Avenue in Lyons. The case against Gracia began Oct. 25 on Riverside Road just eat of Lawton Avenue when a Riverside police officer attempted to make a traffic stop on a 2001 Chevrolet van. According to police, the driver of the van, allegedly Gracia, pulled over initially and immediately threw his hands out the window to show the officer. The officer was approaching the van when it suddenly drove away, forcing another car off the road and into a stop sign. Police said Gracia then drove toward Ogden Avenue, causing four separate accidents along the way, the last of which was a head-on collision in the 7800 block of West Ogden Avenue when Gracia crossed the center lanes and struck a car head-on in the opposite lane. “The whole thing ... was

about 1 minute and 30 seconds,” Riverside Chief of Police Tom Weitzel said. Weitzel said it was lucky no one was seriously injured in any of the crashes. After the final accident, Gracia allegedly fled police on foot. He was pursed by officers until he disappeared into the forested Riverside Lawn area. Police from several area departments searched the woods with the help of a Chicago police helicopter and Cook County Sheriff’s Department canine units. Police reported the dogs registered two separate “hits” for drugs in Gracia’s van, but no drugs were found.

On Oct. 30, Riverside police said Justin D. Mendoza, 22, of the 1100 block of North Kedvale Avenue in Chicago, came to the police department and told officers he was there to surrender for fleeing police Oct. 25. Mendoza was taken into custody and interviewed at length. Police said he knew many of the details regarding the incident on Oct. 25. However, investigators called in several officers who saw Gracia in the car and said Mendoza was not the person who was driving the van that day. As police continued their investigation, they found that Mendoza had been ordered to take the “rap” for the charges by higher ranking gang members of the La Familia Stone street gang, which Mendoza and Gracia are members of, according to police. Mendoza was later charged with felony obstructing
Riverside police, along with the Major Case Assistance Team and the West Suburban Gang and Drug Task Force set up to two separate surveillance locations in Maywood and Berwyn to attempt to locate Gracia on Oct. 31. After almost seven hours of surveillance, police learned Gracia was at a location in Berwyn in the 1300 block of Wisconsin Avenue, police said. Riverside police and members of WEDGE were able to take Gracia into custody at 3 p.m. Police alledge Gracia told Mendoza to turn himself in to take the charges because Mendoza is a lower ranking gang member and Gracia is a high ranking member of La Familia Stone. Gracia was out on bond for several other cases and did not want to be rearrested on felonies which would revoke his previous bond. Riverside’s Chief Weitzel called both men violent gang members and said Gracia has an extensive criminal record. He was currently out on bond for a 2011 battery and unlawful use of a weapon charge. Bond was set Friday at $100,000 for the charges filed by Riverside police. Gracia’s bond was revoked on his previous charge.

McCOOK – A quarry blast, initially labeled a 3.7 magnitude earthquake, was felt across the Chicago area at 12:35 p.m. Monday. “We’re pretty sure it was a quarry blast,” said Paul Caruso, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Earthquake Information Center. The center first reported that the tremor, which lasted a few seconds, was an earthquake. “We’re pretty sure that’s what it is, but there’s still controversy,” said Caruso, who said the tremor was felt as far as Kenosha, Wis. The U.S. Geological Survey website indicated the tremor originated in Countryside. A 3.7 magnitude earthquake is considered light and does not typically cause damage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey website. Social media accounts of users across the western suburbs became active following the blast, with reports of the tremor being felt from Berwyn to Downers Grove. “Indian Head Park, most definitely,” Facebook user Jane Nelsen reported on the Suburban Life’s Facebook page. “I live in Wilshire Green and could feel the whole building shake.”

Friends and family of former La Grange resident Michael Kosinski climbed the 103 floors of Willis Tower on Sunday in honor of the 26-year-old who died suddenly this summer. Kosinski enjoyed stair-climbing, and one of his main events was SkyRise Chicago, where participants climb to the top of Chicago’s tallest building. This year, about 20 of Kosinski’s friends and family organized a team in his name, sporting T-shirts of different rock bands to honor Kosinski’s passion for rock music. Most of the participants attended Lyons Township High School. Together, they raised $5,350 for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, which offers rehab care to patients of traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes and those recovering from cancer. In years past, Kosinski was able to complete the climb in

By Linda Sokol Francis, E.A. WHAT KIND OF PLASTIC? Some people still pay cash for everything, but more people carry plastic cards instead of a walletful of money. There are credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards, all with their own pluses and minuses. What’s the right choice for you? Credit cards have the most protection against fraud: if your card is stolen, you are responsible for no more than $50.00 in unauthorized purchases. The cards build credit history, and some offer rewards. But some folks fear they’ll overspend. Debit cards limit how much you can spend–the amount in your bank account. But if the card if the card is stolen and you don’t report it promptly, you may be liable for all the charges on it. Most prepaid cards don’t offer protection against unauthorized use, except for those payroll cards that employers use to pay wages; they work like debit cards. It’s smart to check your account regularly for any suspicious activity.

Residents of Cook County who wrongly claimed property tax exemptions have until the end of the year to pay the money back and avoid penalties. After Dec. 31, the Cook County Assessor’s Office will investigate erroneous exemptions that have gone unreported and will require taxpayers to pay additional fees and interest on their savings or face civil or criminal prosecution. In Illinois, a person is allowed to collect an exemption only on the home that is his or her primary residence. A new law gives the
assessor the means to recoup funds from those who wrongly receive exemptions for being a homeowner, senior, disabled person or disabled veteran. The law requires an amnesty period to allow taxpayers who wrongly claim one or two exemptions to repay the savings by the end of the year. Those who wrongly claim three exemptions are not eligible for amnesty. Since July 1, the Assessor’s Office has billed more than $1 million erroneous exemption savings received by taxpayers.

McCOOK – A caravan of black yoga pants, ponytails and strollers trots around an indoor soccer field. The group of six moms walks or jogs laps around the field, pushing strollers carrying their newborns, as young as 2-months-old. Then they form a circle – strollers inside, moms outside – and start to run around the circle as they sing, “Ring Around the Rosie,” stopping on “we all fall down” to stretch. Minutes earlier, the moms sang the A-B-C’s as their babies watched them pull resistance bands looped through a fence. Who said working out with a baby was impossible? “As a mom, you feel guilty not seeing your kids all day,” said Sara Franko, mother of two and owner of the La Grange-area FIT4MOM, a fitness program for moms with hundreds of franchises around the country. Franko, of La Grange Park, was pregnant with her now 3-year-old daughter when she took her first class in Chicago. Once Violet was born, Franko didn’t what to leave her at daycare when she worked out, so she signed up for Stroller Strides, an hour-long workout for moms that incorporates power walking, strength training, toning and singing to keep the little ones entertained. “I really loved being around
the other moms, which I never really expected,” Franko said. “[I thought], ‘I don’t want to bond with other moms. I just want to go work out.’” Franko recently opened the first FIT4MOM franchise in the western suburbs and has plans to expand beyond La Grange, ideally with locations in every other suburb stretching from Riverside to Naperville and down to Burr Ridge and Palos Heights. Franko said moms typically gain about 25 to 30 pounds when they’re pregnant. They lose most of it after giving birth, but it can take a while to lose the last 10 or so pounds, she said. “What mom doesn’t want her body back?” Franko said. But the program is about more than sculpting a new figure. Nursing and taking care of a baby makes it difficult, if not impossible, for many moms to find the time and energy to exercise, an essential component to anyone’s health. “Those nights when you’re up late because [the baby] doesn’t want to sleep, it’s definitely difficult to get out of the house [the next day],” said Shana Scott, a first-time mom who brought her 6-monthold daughter, Aubrey. “But having this [class] and other moms to come to [helps], and it’s very high-energy, so it’s nice to be excited about getting out of the house.” And for the baby?

a 2011 lawsuit against Riverside Brookfield High School District 208 over alleged violations in connection with a tax referendum. The lawsuit, filed by Anthony Peraica and Taxpayers United of America, contended that the district violated provisions of the Illinois Property Tax Code, the Illinois Election Code and free speech provisions of the U.S. Constitution in an educational fund tax rate referendum rejected by voters in the spring of 2011. A Cook County judge dismissed the lawsuit on July 17, 2012, but the plaintiffs appealed the free speech portion. The Illinois Appellate Court found there was no legal basis for the claim and dismissed the case Friday. The plaintiffs could seek a re-hearing before the Appellate Court or petition the Illinois Supreme Court.

A discussion of issues that face Hispanic serving institutions On Oct. 25, I was one of only 20 college presidents asked to address Education Secretary Arne Duncan on issues facing Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI). Secretary Duncan made it clear that President Obama intends to increase accountability for all segments of higher education, with federal dollars supplementing colleges with the highest graduation rates. COMMUNITY Myself and all of the atVOICE tending presidents welcome Dana increased accountability, but we are wary of making Grove graduation rates the single performance indicator. Community colleges on the Community colleges … whole, and especially HSIs, are “open door” instituare “open door” institutions that have student bodies very tions that have student different than selective adbodies very different than mission colleges and universities. As many as 75 percent selective admission colof community college students nationwide need to take extra leges and universities.

This extra time frequently community college stupostpones graduating in three dents nationwide need to years after first enrolling, which is the time limit that take extra classes just to the president mandates in his get them performing at accountability model. In addition, we pointed out the college level. the fact that 75 percent of all new employees entering the workplace in this country between 2010 and 2020 will be Latino, and HSIs are primarily responsible for their education and training. However, funding for HSIs has consistently been reduced from the federal budget, making it more and more challenging for institutions like Morton College to supply its Latino students with the quality education they need and deserve. Secretary Duncan agreed and said that he would share our concerns with President Obama. Time will tell if our collective voice was heeded.
Dr. Dana Grove is the president of Morton College.

• WORKOUT Continued from page 12 “She sleeps through most of it,” Scott said. “It’s nice for me to be able to focus on me for a little bit.” Another new mom, Becca Barto, teaches the class, wheeling her nearly 5-monthold son Jack around the field and leading sets of stretches and other activities. “It’s an interval program, so we bounce back and forth between cardio exercises and strength training exercise,” Barto said. “And with the strength training, what my focus is is to really make it specific to moms and our everyday movements and working on our cores, which is one of the most important pieces of our body to stay strong.” Barto said pregnancy and giving birth can throw off moms’ balance. During the classes, they can use their strollers to keep steady, in addition to keeping tabs on their babies.

Franko’s daughter, Violet, scampers around the field while her mom chats. At home, Violet assigns roles to her dolls, and the one who plays her mother tells the other dolls that mommy is going to the gym. “I really want [my kids] to know fitness as a part of life,” said Franko, who also has a 1-year-old daughter. “They see you working out, which I think is really important.” Stroller Strides is offered Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at the McCook Athletic and Exposition Center.

While it’s well-intended, if you want to memorialize somebody, you have a memorial service after they pass. Also have a funeral, and if they’re buried, they’re in a cemetery or the Ashes are dealt with if there is a cremation. A memorial is something that should be done within a year of the end of the person’s life, and then that’s that.

BROOKFIELD – The village of Brookfield will receive $10,000 to update its 15-year-old Open Space Plan as part of a grant from ComEd and land conservation nonprofit Openlands. The Green Region grants are designed to relieve some the financial strain many municipalities are facing in a tough economic climate. Grants were
awarded to 17 municipalities and nonprofits for projects focusing on conservation, preservation, protecting endangered species and improving parks and recreation resources. ComEd will distribute the grant money over two years as Brookfield updates its Open Space Plan, which will address key natural systems like Salt Creek.

Experience 1950s-style dining at 100 South ELMHURST – Even if you can’t tell Hepburn and Tracy from Cagney and Lacey, you’ll almost certainly enjoy a night of dining out at 100 South Chop House and Grill. Thanks to its prominent spot at York Street and Park Avenue in downtown Elmhurst, just about anyone who’s been through town has seen the stylish exterior. The inside is more than a match, with a deliberate 1950s style decor and copious framed images of screen stars from the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s. And like a beacon from that era, 100 South offers up a great number of variations on that quintessential American dish: meat and potatoes. To be sure, there are attractive seafood, pasta and chicken selections, all of which would’ve been tempting on any other occasion. But having perused the website ahead of time, and seeing a juicy cut of beef pictured prominently, my dining companion and I each knew what we wanted even before crossing the threshold. The tasty, warm bread with garlic butter, and the two (yes, two; we skipped lunch that day) appetizers of shrimp scampi and bruschetta, though enjoyably enticing, were simply overtures to the symphony that followed – an 8-ounce filet mignon, “Oscar style,” for my dining companion, and a 16-ounce New York strip steak for me. “Oscar style” means topped with crab meat and accompanied by Hollandaise sauce. I managed to weasel my way into a bite of this precious delicacy and was confronted by more flavors than my senses knew what to do with. I was tempted, at that point, to suggest a trade of entrees – not that such a suggestion would’ve been accepted. Moving on to my own dish, I dug in with gusto and found exactly what I wanted: a sizable portion of flavorful beef, cooked exactly to my specifications. Maybe I was iron-deficient that day, because this

Riverside Brookfield senior Amy Frey sets the ball during the Proviso West regional championship match against Downers Grove North last Thursday.
‘Unique’ Bulldogs group bounced from postseason By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com HILLSIDE – After missing half of her junior season with an injury, Monica Kasper made sure to enjoy her senior year. Kasper, a captain and outside hitter for the Riverside Brookfield girls volleyball team, saw her career and the team’s season end in a regional final loss to Downers Grove North on Thursday. The Trojans won 25-20, 25-14 at Proviso West.
Class 4A Proviso West regional final Downers Grove North 25 25 Riverside Brookfield 20 14 RB leaders: Monica Kasper 3 kills, Kayla Noffsinger 3 kills
Despite the loss, Kasper leaves the program with good memories on and off the court. “This group of girls is definitely a unique one,” Kasper said. “We’ve had a pretty
rough season on the court, but off the court we were so close and we worked together so well. Even though sometimes we weren’t all mentally there, we always pulled through and we had a bunch of great wins.” RB finished with a 20-16 record. The No. 10 seeded Bulldogs beat No. 7 Whitney Young 25-18, 25-23 in a regional semifinal. The Dolphins were Chicago Public League champions. Kasper and fellow senior Amy Frey both missed significant portions of last year with
injuries. Kasper suffered an ACL injury in the middle of last season. Amanda Lelivelt was the only player to return from last year’s regional, and RB went through the growing pains that go with an inexperienced roster. “We were real up and down,” RB coach Dan Bonarigo said. “We would have a good stretch and a bad stretch, but overall we played hard. That’s about all I can ask for.” Senior Kayla Noffsinger earned a starting spot this season. The four seniors –
Frey, Kasper, Lelivelt and Noffsinger – leave a team that expects eight returners and three starters to comeback next season. Kasper hopes the senior class helped put the younger players in position to be more successful next year. “It was definitely hard watching them play without my contribution (last year) and this year it’s really nice to inspire the other girls to meet their goals and rise above their level of play,” Kasper said.

8ALL-AREA SOCCER MVP
Life in net suits Morton’s Chacon Mustangs’ keeper major part of team’s 21 shutouts By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com BERWYN – Soccer is not a sport to get into if you don’t like running – unless you want to play goalkeeper. Keepers are only called upon for short bursts of effort, but those efforts can decide matches. Morton’s Ian Chacon played defender for a couple years when he first started playing soccer as a kid but shifted to keeper and hasn’t left since. “First when I started, I played defense, but I never really liked running so my grandfather put me in the back and I liked it,” Chacon said. It’s a good thing for the Mustangs because he has proven to be one of the best goalkeepers in the state. Chacon’s standout play this season earned him the Most Valuable Player of the Suburban Life All-Area Boys Soccer team. “I really liked it because everybody is looking at me,” Chacon said of playing goalkeeper. “If a goal goes in that’s on me. Sometimes I got to help out the team.” Chacon helped the defense post 21 shutouts heading into Tuesday’s super sectional. Chacon earned shutouts in both sectional games and made pressure saves in a pair of 1-0 wins. It’s the kind of play that has come to be expected of him since joining the varsity team as a freshman. In the sectional final against Lyons Township, Chacon denied LT star Frankie Kocimski alone in front of goal and the Mustangs took the lead less than 10 minutes later. In addition to big saves like that he cuts out crosses and eliminates chances before they even start.
“I started in the alleys like everybody else. Then, my grandpa saw we had talent; he took us in and he started coaching us.” Ian Chacon Goalkeeper
“Once again, he was in command of his box,” Morton coach Mike Caruso said. “That was a great save and then he got the luck of the bounce on that ball as well and grabbed it.” Chacon currently plays with the Cicero Mayans club with many of his Morton teammates, but he got his start in a less formal setting. “I started in the alleys like everybody else,” Chacon said. “Then, my grandpa saw we had talent; he took us in and he started coaching us.” The we also is referring to his older brother, Miguel, who also played keeper for Morton. Miguel is three years older than Ian and the brothers shared time on the 2011 state champion team. Miguel started both games at state that year, but Ian did play in the playoffs. The tutelage the brothers received from their grandfather and helped both excelled at goalkeeper. Now Ian is hoping to find a college program to play for. “Me and my dad have been focusing on colleges,” he said. “It’s early, but we’re looking into that to see what we have to do so we can get in. “I just try my best and hopefully somebody is watching and let’s see what they have to offer.”

Morton goalkeeper Ian Chacon makes a save in the Mustangs’ sectional championship game against Lyons Township on Friday. A former defender, Chacon has turned into a stellar goalkeeper.
Luis Alvarado
Alonso Fregoso
Frankie Kocimski
Tom Smith
School: Morton Year: Senior Impact: The Mustangs’ defense is among the best in the state and Alvarado was a key reason why. Shifting between right back and left back, Alvarado brought toughness and experience to the Morton back line. Alvarado, a four-year varsity player, was an honorable mention all-sectional pick.
School: Morton Year: Senior Impact: Fregoso moved from central defender to forward in the middle of the season and used his size to shield defenders and hold up the ball for the Mustangs. Fregoso is never shy to make a fancy move on the ball. He had a goal and an assist in the regional final victory and assisted the only goal in the sectional final.
School: Lyons Township Year: Senior Impact: Kocimski’s long and flat throws added an extra dynamic to the LT attack, but he was so much more than a big arm. The tall, fast and athletic forward wasn’t afraid to run at defenders and cause havoc on opposing defenses. Kocimski was also a team captain and an all-sectional selection each of the past two years.
School: Fenwick Year: Senior Impact: Smith was a key part of a defense that gave up more than one goal just five times this season. The all-state defender was a part of the Friars’ sectional winning squad last year and helped the Friars post a 4-1 record in Chicago Catholic League play this year.
Santiago Beltran
Anthony Gulli
Matt Murphy
Chris Tovar
School: Riverside Brookfield Year: Senior Impact: Beltran was the top playmaker for the Bulldogs. The senior captain played an attacking role in midfield and was a dynamic player on the ball. He battled injuries this season but was still a key player in his third year on varsity.
School: St. Joseph Year: Junior Impact: The midfielder was on Benet’s varsity team as a freshman but has been a big addition to the St. Joseph program since transferring. He emerged as a top player for the Chargers this season, earning all-state honors and helping St. Joseph win a regional title.
School: Lyons Township Year: Senior Impact: Murphy was LT’s leading scorer last year despite largely coming off the bench and continued to be a key threat in the Lions’ attack this season. The senior was an all-state pick as a forward, standing out among the many talented attacking options on the team.
School: Nazareth Year: Senior Impact: Tovar has been a big part of Nazareth’s first ever sectional title as the team’s leading goal scorer. The senior forward was named East Suburban Catholic all-conference for the second straight year and was an all-sectional selection this season.
HONORABLE MENTION Fenwick Joaquin Camara
Lyons Township Emilio Godinez, Spiro Kass
Morton Ian Chacon
Harry Hilling
Fabian Robles
School: Morton Year: Junior Impact: Morton’s ability to possess the ball and its quality defense didn’t always make Chacon work hard, but the junior goalkeeper typically came up with the big saves. The third year varsity player is a reason why the Morton defense has more than 20 shutouts this season.
School: Lyons Township Year: Junior Impact: Hilling was a major contributor on a team filled with senior starters. He set the tone for the offense with his play in central midfield and was the team’s top creator. Hilling scored twice in the regional final win against Downers Grove South.
School: St. Joseph Year: Senior Impact: The Chargers’ captain led the team to a 16-4-3 record this season. He helped solidify the back line as a central defender in his third year on varsity. He was an honorable mention all-sectional pick.

Ground game takes Nazareth to second round By DAN SANTAROMITA
Number to know
dsantaromita@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Defending Nazareth’s offense must be frustrating for opposing defenses. The Roadrunners cycle several running backs in and out and even multiple quarterbacks in the middle of a drive. Each running back is capable of running through the holes created by Naz’s big offensive line. On top of all that, Naz is capable of playing up-tempo to further wear out defenses while fresh running backs are coming from every corner of the Nazareth sideline. Nazareth showcased its offensive style in a Class 5A first round playoff win against Brooks on Saturday at Gately Stadium. The Roadrunners utilized 13 different ball carriers, six of which averaged at least five yards per carry, in a 37-13 win. “We’ve been doing it all year so it helps because if somebody gets dinged or they’re out, another kid is

The Roadrunners (8-2) fumbled on the first play of the game and gave up a Brooks (82) touchdown three plays later. However, Naz settled down and scored the next 30 points in the game.
Daniel Bakovich (12 carries, 41 yards) scored the Roadrunners’ first two touchdowns. Julian Love (6 carries, 43 yards) added another score after Robbie Brindley recovered a fumble inside the 10yard line. Ivory Kelly-Martin (11 carries, 55 yards) scored Naz’s final touchdown. Cyle Tucker (7 carries, 37 yards) was also
Sycamore at Nazareth When: 1 p.m. Saturday Where: Valenta Stadium 1209 W. Ogden Ave., La Grange Park Records: No. 10 Nazareth 8-2, No. 2 Sycamore 10-0 Outlook: The Roadrunners get to host an undefeated team for the third time since the start of October. Naz beat the other two, Notre Dame and Benet, and hasn’t lost since. Sycamore has won nine of its 10 games by double figures and played seven playoff teams in the regular season, including four that won in the first round. featured in the running game. “They really thrive off each other,” Racki said of his various
runners. “It’s not like they’re being selfish and want more carries. They’re happy when another guy makes a play. It’s really a great group of kids that pull for each other. That makes it easier on me as a coach to spread the ball around.” Defensively, Naz forced four turnovers. A pick six by Kevin Jackson, his second interception of the game, truly put the game out of reach in the third quarter. “We thought they were going to run most, but we knew they were a good passing team,” Jackson said. “We just had to make sure we stayed with them. “Next week is going to be way harder.” Nazareth’s sixth straight win earned them a second round home game against undefeated Sycamore. The Spartans (10-0) ran for well more than 300 yards in a 48-24 win over Antioch on Saturday. Dion Hooker and Iowa recruit Ben Niemann lead Sycamore’s rushing attack.
Fenwick handles Hersey to move on in playoffs By SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA ELMHURST – Fenwick’s football team advanced to the second round of the Class 7A state playoffs with a 28-6 win over Hersey at Elmhurst College on Friday. The Friars got an early boost in the form of two first-quarter touchdown runs by senior running back Robert Spillane. Fenwick built up a 21-6 halftime lead and the Friars’ defense took care of things from there. Hersey was unable to score in the second half and was held to a season low point total. The Huskies entered the game averaging just under 27 points per game. With the win, Fenwick (9-1) earned a date against Wheaton North in the second round. The Falcons (8-2) beat Glenbrook North 53-7 in the first round. The Friars will again play host at Elmhurst College.
Up next Wheaton North at Fenwick When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday Where: Langhorst Field, S. Prospect Avenue and Alexander Boulevard, Elmhurst Records: No. 4 Fenwick 9-1; No. 5 Wheaton North 8-2 Outlook: The Friars won a firstround playoff game for the second year in a row and now host a second straight game at Elmhurst College. Wheaton North boasts Northwestern-bound quarterback Clayton Thorson and an offense that has only been held to less than 30 points in its two defeats. Meanwhile, the most points Fenwick has allowed in a game this season is 21.
This is Fenwick’s second straight trip to the second round of the playoffs in the two years under coach Gene Nudo.

Morton 1, Lyons Township 0 Goal: Edgar Garcia, 26th minute
Bill Ackerman – backerman@shawmedia.com
Lyons Township’s Cristian Sanchez, right, makes a move on Morton forward Jovany Garcia during the Hinsdale South sectional final on Friday. The Lions lost a close 1-0 contest to the Mustangs. the Pepsi Showdown, 1-0. With those close games, both coaches knew one goal could decide it. Garcia’s goal came in the 26th minute, less than 10 minutes after LT captain Frankie Kocimski was denied
in front of the goal on a nice play by Mustang goalkeeper Ian Chacon. “It’s always a great rivalry with Morton,” Kocimski said. “When us two teams step on the field it’s going to be a
great game overall.” Kocimski said he plans to go into medicine with the hope of becoming a physical therapist. Playing in college is still a possibility, but he is making academics the prior-
ity on where he decides to go. The attacker recognizable for his massive throw ins will leave as part of a senior class that experienced a lot of success in the program. Last year’s Pepsi Showdown title and regional titles in 2011 and 2013 are among the highlights. “They’re very successful over the course of four years in our program,” Labbato said. “What great seniors and the leadership they put together.” The 2-1 win over rival and previously undefeated Hinsdale Central in the sectional semifinal was another high point for the team. “Knocking off Hinsdale [Central] and coming in with a record of 17-3-3 it’s not a bad season,” Kocimski said. “We got a regional championship under our belt and I know that the underclassmen on the team are going to take this into next season and definitely have a good one next year.”

DARIEN – Morton and Lyons Township have met on the soccer field with plenty on the line in recent years. Friday’s meeting between the two added another chapter to that history. The Mustangs edged the Lions 1-0 in the Hinsdale South sectional final. Morton got a first half goal from Edgar Garcia and let its defense do the work from there. Morton earned its 21st shutout of the season in the victory. “They’re much better than advertised and they’re advertised as very good,” LT coach Paul Labbato said. “We saw first hand right in front of us, how good they actually are and they defend. Maybe some of the best defending I’ve seen out of any high school team in a long time. They defend and defend with heart.” Morton last met LT in the playoffs in 2011, when the Mustangs won 4-3 in double overtime in a sectional semifinal en route to a state title. The year before, LT won 2-1 in a sectional final. Last year, the Lions got the best of Morton in the final of

Now, the Bears, Packers and Lions find themselves in a three-way dead heat atop the NFC North, all three at 5-3 and the Bears with a win over the Packers but a loss to the Lions, and the Packers with a win over Detroit. Now if the Bears can knock off the Lions – hey, they just soundly beat the Packers, didn’t they? – they will find themselves with a firm grip on the division with seven games to play and hopes of getting healthier as well as reinforcements in the form of Jay Ratliff.
The buzz is all around that Jay Cutler is coming back early, not from Dr. Brandon Marshall this time but from ESPN. Marc Trestman has said the doctors will decide, not the four-letter network or Cutler. Besides, after watching Josh McCown vs. the Packers, what’s the hurry? Charles “Peanut” Tillman is the key to the Bears beating the Detroit Lions. Certainly, the Bears will have to find a way to deal with Reggie Bush, who torched them in their Week Four meeting in Detroit. And whoever plays quarterback will have to be a lot better than Cutler was in the first half last time. But at the end of the day, nobody plays Calvin “Megatron” Johnson as effectively as Tillman, and he is going to have to do it again. Detroit will be coming off a bye, and Megaton’s most recent muscle memories will be of having put up the second-best receiving day in NFL history in their last-second, miraculous victory over the Cowboys.
As well as McCown played against the Packers – and I still believe it should be and will be him against Detroit – he’s not ready to get into a shootout with Johnson and Matt Stafford. Stafford is on pace to throw for more than 5,200 yards this season, with 2,617 in his first eight games, 16 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 94.6 passer rating. The Lions’ offensive line is doing a great job of protecting him, allowing only 10 sacks in the first half of the season. Bears fans can take solace in the fact the Bears sacked Rodgers and Seneca Wallace five times Monday night after managing only nine sacks in their first seven games. But let’s be honest – the five Packer sacks included only four quarterback hits. The sack of Rodgers was after Shea McClellin had been blocked out of the play and Rodgers ran back to him, and all but the Corey Wootton sack were coverage sacks. The Lions are third in total offense, sixth in average gain per
offensive play, first in percentage of quarterback sacks allowed, fifth in time of possession, and sixth in points per game. They will pose a much stiffer test for the Bears’ defense than the Wallace-led Packers did. The matchup between the Bears’ offense and the Lions’ defense should be kinder to the Bears. Matt Forte had his best game of the year in Green Bay, with 24 carries and 125 yards rushing, a 5.2 average, and one touchdown, and five catches for 54 yards. The Lions may not have an answer. Detroit’s defense is porous, ranking 25th overall, 30th in average gain per play allowed, 28th versus the run, 30th sacking the quarterback, and 18th in points allowed. The one category they are very good in is third- down efficiency, where they’re second, but that’s because they so rarely get to third down with all the big plays they give up. I know the shootout we expected in Green Bay didn’t happen. But if Stafford lasts four quarters, expect this to be a different story.

On to Week 10 … The Browns, Chiefs, Patri-
ots and Jets have a bye. Washington travels to Minnesota for the Thursday game.
MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT Redskins at Vikings, 7:27 p.m. Thursday Washington and Minnesota rank No. 30 and No. 31 respectively in points allowed, besting only the hapless Jaguars. Most Thursday night games are fantasy stinkers, but these teams can’t stop anyone, so expect a wide-open affair. Obvious starts are Adrian Peterson, Pierre Garcon and Alfred Morris. This is also

a great match-up for Robert Griffin III and Jordan Reed. If you usually start Jordan Cameron or Rob Gronkowski at tight end, you will need a fill-in this week. Consider John Carlson of the Vikings. With Kyle Rudolph out at least a month, Carlson could be productive in the Vikes’ dink-and-dunk attack. If you have an emergency QB situation, this would be a week you might actually consider starting Christian Ponder. (Did I actually just write that?) Lions at Bears, noon Sunday This is another offensive no-brainer. One thing is perfectly clear: The Bears cannot defend the run. Reggie Bush is an obvious start, and Joique Bell deserves consideration. Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson are obvious starts, although the Bears have done pretty well defending Megatron over the years. Brandon Pettigrew is a solid option and
if you’re looking for help at wide receiver, Kris Durham has established himself as the No. 2 in Detroit. On the other side of the ball, it has been reported that Jay Cutler might return this week. Either Cutler or McCown is a decent option at quarterback. Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall are must-starts. Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett are solid options. Broncos at Chargers , 3:25 p.m. Sunday Although the Chargers allow a pretty respectable 21.8 points a game, only four other teams have allowed more offensive yards. All the usual suspects are must-starts for the Broncos. Philip Rivers should be able to eclipse 300 yards and throw for at least two touchdowns. Keenan Allen has emerged as Rivers’ top target and is a must start.

November opened with a wild and wacky fantasy weekend. The Eagles went from approaching offensive obscurity to having their backup quarterback tie an NFL record with seven passing touchdowns. (By the way, Nick Foles looks just like the guy I used to copy off of in algebra.) In other developments … Christian Ponder showed a pulse in Dallas and posted 19 fantasy points. Tom Brady returned to form with 432 yards and 35 points. Winless Tampa Bay threw three touchdown passes in the first half, intercepted Russell Wilson twice, and nearly upset the vaunted Seahawks. Miami’s Lamar Miller rushed for more than 100 yards for the first time in his career (and the first Dolphin to crest
100 this season). And he did it against a tough Bengals’ defense. In that same game, the Dolphins defense picked off the previously red-hot Andy Dalton three times and won the game in overtime with a safety. Chris Johnson channeled his inner 2009 with 150 yards rushing and 29 fantasy points. Zac Stacy took another step toward establishing himself as a must-start as he also posted 29 points. Like CJ2K and Brady, Andre Johnson returned from the dead with 229 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The rarely injured Aaron Rodgers went out after one series, and the Bears were able to upset the Packers. The injury to Rodgers derailed the fantasy numbers of Packer wideouts, especially Jordy Nelson.

lection Day in the United States is typically the irst Tuesday of November. There can be other elections that are held throughout the year, but the irst Tuesday of November is the oficial day when many big national and local elections are held. Even though you are probably too young to vote, kids under the age of 18 can still be active in politics by reading up on candidates and issues that are important to their community, and asking their parents and teachers good questions. Are there any local elections being held in your city or state this year on Election Day? If you don’t know, there are many ways you can ind out: You can go to the website of your city or state election board, or there might even be articles in this newspaper that can point you in the right direction.

Hold a classroom vote A good way to learn about the democratic process is to hold a vote in your classroom. Election Days aren’t always about the people being elected — sometimes they are about a specific issue. 1. brainstorm. As a group, decide on an issue that is important to your classroom. You could vote on the kind of experiment you will be doing in your science class, what should be on the lunch menu or what sport you will be playing in gym class, for instance. Think about issues that will afect your daily life as a student. 2. pros and cons. Once the issue is decided, hold a hearing to debate the subject. Have your teacher monitor and call on students who raise their hands to rally for, or against, an issue. Keep track of the pros and cons on a sheet of paper. 3. Vote. After both sides of the issue are heard, hand out pieces of paper to each student, and then have them vote for one side. Each student’s vote should be kept secret and entered into a ballot box. 4. Count the vote and announce a winner. After each student has voted, the ballots will need to be counted by a teacher or other adult. After all the votes are counted, announce the winner and the final number of votes for each side. activity: Think about it, write about it: After your vote is held, think about why it is important to participate in the democratic process. Does it make a diference to speak up about why you supported, or did not support, an issue? Do you feel that your individual vote counted? What would you do diferently next time to get your voice heard?

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948. Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948. Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain. In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.” There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.
