Lawmaker files bill on school closure process State Sen. Michael Hastings says bill would provide more transparency, accountability By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – A state lawmaker unveiled last week a proposed measure he says would provide more transparency and accountability from school districts considering closing an academic building. The bill, which state Sen. Michael Hastings, D-Tinley Park, said he filed Oct. 2, would amend state law to include provisions concerning school action and facility master planning that would apply to any district where the board has voted to approve closing a school. He said in a post on his Facebook page the proposal will officially be read into Senate records Oct. 20. If passed, the bill would apply to any school district whose board voted to approve a school closure after July 1. Hastings said it would not reverse Lincoln-Way High School District 210 board’s decision to close North high school in an effort to resolve its financial crisis. “It could have an impact, yes, but not in the fact that it would reverse their decision,” Hastings said. The bill was influenced by the financial problems at the school district and anger from

People fill the auditorium in August during a Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 Board of Education meeting in New Lenox. The board voted to close Lincoln-Way North during the meeting. A state lawmaker unveiled Thursday a proposed bill he says would provide more transparency and accountability for school districts considering closing an academic building. residents. Hastings said he’s been contacted by hundreds of Lincoln-Way parents and residents who were upset by the board’s decision. “They have a lot of issues and a lot of complaints,” he said. Lincoln-Way Board President Kevin Molloy said he was

favorable to the legislation because Hastings is trying to create a solid process for closing a school. He also had respect for Hastings since he was once a school board member for Orland Park-based District 230. “He has a lot of credibility with his colleagues down in Springfield and I think when

he speaks down there, he’s going to have a majority of the ears in a bipartisan way in what he has to say,” Molloy said. Hastings said he’s worked with state education experts and Lincoln-Way parents – including those who live in the boundaries of North high

school – on Senate Bill 2183. One of the most important parts of the bill is that public hearings would be required to be handled by an independent hearing officer in the event of a school closure, Hastings said. The No. 1 complaint he said he has heard from Lincoln-Way parents is that they weren’t listened to by district officials. Another state lawmaker proposed legislation Oct. 5 also influenced by Lincoln-Way. State Rep. Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, proposed a resolution to have the Illinois Auditor General conduct a performance audit for the school district. Superintendent Scott Tingley and Molloy were concerned about how the bill would affect their own efforts for a forensic and external audit. Molloy said McDermed’s bill would require the district to spend additional money and Tingley has said administrators would only want one audit done once rather than pay for it twice. “We’re not in a holding pattern that we weren’t in based on the timing of her bill,” Molloy said. A call Friday afternoon to McDermed was not immediately returned.

Economic development director not a dead issue in Joliet By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The City Council decision last week to hold off on special taxing districts did not necessarily kill economic development initiatives planned for 2016 – but it does mean officials could look elsewhere for funding to implement them. “I would like to hire an economic development director,” Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said Monday. O’Dekirk made economic development a campaign issue when he was elected in April. But the city will have to find other ways to fund an econom-

ic development director after the plan to create Special Service Areas was dropped. SSAs create special taxing districts for designated areas. A special property tax applied only to that district raises money to be used for the area. The proposal was on the agenda for a vote Tuesday that would have set in motion the legal process for eventually setting up the SSAs for 2016 taxes. The mayor said two suggestions by Councilman Larry Hug should be considered as officials look for alternatives. Hug wants the city to look at its own planning and development department staffing as well as re-examine how it

spends money on economic development, including $1 million spent on various entities in the downtown business district and Joliet’s share of funding the Will County Center for Economic Development. “We have to take a hard look at some of the other private organizations that receive subsidies from us and do economic development,” Hug said. “I don’t think we’re getting the biggest bang for our buck.” The city is in the process of preparing a budget for 2016. Hug said it’s a good time to look at how the city spends money related to economic development. The proposed taxing dis-

tricts would have generated $308,000 a year, and the money would have been used initially to hire an economic development staff focused on the SSAs, which would have been around the Louis Joliet Mall, along the Jefferson Street corridor, and in a wide area of the south end of Joliet. Hug said the city should look for ways to fund an economic development staff to work on all sections of Joliet. He wants the city to reconsider $600,000 a year that goes to the Rialto Square Theatre, noting that money often is called an investment in the downtown business district. Hug also wants the city to

re-examine $400,000 spent with the City Center Partnership, which promotes downtown. Hug also wants the city to look at the $125,000 a year that now goes to the Will County Center for Economic Development. O’Dekirk in retrospect said the SSA proposal was rushed. Asked if he would pursue it again, he said, “Maybe, but if we’re going to do it, I think we have to get some community buy-in. I definitely would do it differently.” But council members, some of whom said the proposal also took them by surprise, voted, 8-0, to remove the item from the agenda.

said James Ghedotte, finance director for the city of Joliet. “Let’s say the state doesn’t solve their budget problems.

They’re running out of money.” Ghedotte worries the state might look for a way to keep

the local share of gaming taxes. The city already is fighting Rauner’s proposal to keep the local share of state income taxes, which amounts to $7 million a year in Joliet. In the meantime, the city has large enough reserves to cover expenses, Ghedotte said. “We’re OK,” he said. “But if we don’t get it, we won’t be OK. They’re getting the interest on

it, and we’re not. We want our money.” Gambling taxes are the third-largest source of city revenue. Joliet gets about $19 million a year from gambling taxes. That compares to $44 million in sales taxes and nearly $33 million in property taxes. In a five-year look at local tax revenue from Illinois casinos, Joliet has been getting less each year since 2010, when gambling generated $24.4 million for the city, according to “Wagering in Illinois,” the recent report from the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability.

JOLIET – Joliet already was grappling with declining gambling taxes, when things got worse in July: The city stopped getting any money from that source. The state is holding onto the local share of taxes, another maneuver in the highstakes game of Illinois budget impasse politics, and another signal the future of gaming revenue can be a gamble for local government. And that’s on top of the findings from a recent report from the Illinois Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, which details how gambling revenue has been on the decline in Joliet and other cities in the state despite a rise in video gaming. For now, the state has grabbed onto all the tax money generated by casinos and video gaming. Joliet and other local municipalities stopped getting their share of gambling taxes in July, when Gov. Bruce Rauner contended he had no authority to distribute the money without a state budget in place. State government is keeping nearly $5 million that Joliet officials expect to see some day – assuming the state budget crisis is resolved. “We’re more concerned about what they could do,”

Increased competition from video gambling taking toll on casinos • GAMBLING

Continued from page 3 a slowdown statewide, even with the proliferation of the video gaming industry – Illinois’ newest market, according to the state report. The findings in the report raise the question of whether gambling expansion would be as lucrative as some state lawmakers believe. State taxes generated from the lottery, race tracks, video gaming and riverboat casinos in fiscal 2015 in Illinois stood at $1.184 billion – representing a 5.8 percent decrease from the year before, according to the report. Even the growth in video gambling was not enough to offset the $24 million loss in riverboat gambling revenue and the $125 million decrease in lottery revenue. Riverboat gambling fell 1.9 percent, while admissions were down 5.3 percent. Lottery profits fell for the first time in six years, and horse racing revenues were flat. Harrah’s Casino in Joliet remains the second biggest moneymaker in Illinois behind the state’s newest casino, Des Plaines’ River Casino, but revenue continues to dip. The success of Des Plaines’ casino appears to be coming at the expense of other casinos in the area. Both Joliet casinos have seen steady revenue declines over the years, although Hollywood experienced a slight uptick between 2014 and 2015.

A sign sits outside Izzy’s bar advertising the video gambling machines Thursday in Joliet. the state’s 10 casinos. Even with two casinos in town, Joliet opted to embrace video gambling. The city ranks third behind only Springfield and Rockford among the cities with the highest number of video gambling machines. As of August, Springfield had 542 machines, while Rockford had 432 and Joliet had 254. Joliet has just less than 70 establishments, while Rockford has 91 and Springfield has 126. Three casinos – including Hollywood Casino in Joliet – reported modest revenue increases between fiscal 2014 and 2015, but those were offset by declines at the state’s seven other casinos, the report stated. Revenue from the lottery fell and race tracks remained relatively flat. Even with mounting state

budgetary pressures and a desire to generate additional revenue, the numbers paint a grim picture for some state lawmakers’ long-sought attempts to further expand gambling. Some proposals include a new casino in the untapped Chicago market, allowing slots at race tracks, increasing the number of gambling machines allowed at establishments and allowing riverboat casinos to go beyond the 1,200-machine limit. For video gaming, there’s now a five-machine limit per establishment. The annual report’s findings confirm the suspicions of Tom Swoik, executive director of the Illinois Casino Gaming Association, that gambling expansion would benefit the state only in the short-term with one-time influxes in tax dollars because of construction, new jobs and

immediate economic impact. “We’re not creating any more gamblers. We’re moving them from one venue to another,” Swoik said, pointing to the 2011 opening of River Casino in Des Plaines. Riverboat gaming revenue spiked statewide in 2011 by 19.9 percent thanks to Des Plaines’ new casino, but those gains were shortlived and at the expense of the state’s nine other casinos. The next year, statewide revenue increased by just 1.8 percent, and dipped in 2014 by 7.4 percent and 3.5 percent in fiscal 2015. Swoik said he expects a similar scenario would unfold if Illinois were to further expand the gaming industry in an already saturated market. “We have more licensed gaming facilities than Nevada,” he said.

Rating formula focusing on local factors School practices and programs now account for 70 percent of state standing good professional practices,” Koehl said.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com Coal City is known as a blue-collar town with a heavy emphasis on the trades. But school standing in the eyes of the state had always relied on students’ performance in standardized tests. So the conventional rating system for Coal City schools never factored in student success in areas – like being good in the hands-on trades that offer multiple career opportunities – other than test-taking. “We do good on the standardized tests,” Superintendent Kent Bugg said of his Coal City School District 1. “But anytime that you grade schools based upon one variable, it’s not an accurate way to measure anything.” But that’s changing with the signing of a bill that dramatically shifts the focus of school accountability in the state. Gov. Bruce Rauner signed Aug. 1 into law the Illinois Balanced Accountability Measure, or IBAM. The new measure significantly changes the way schools are rated by taking into account a school’s professional practices and programs for increasing student success.

Gauging accountability

IBAM changes the formula used for determining a school’s standing. Under existing No Child Left Behind, or NCLB, laws, standardized testing was alone used as the benchmark for school success. But under IBAM, standardized testing only accounts for 30 percent of that grade. The remaining 70 percent is a mixture of other educational components, including financial and instructional practices, connections with families and the community and shared leadership, governance and success. “Student outcomes and scores are very important and there is no question that they do represent success of the school,” said Troy School

ABOVE: Anthony Vargas, 11, and other fifth-grade students at Woodland Elementary School take a practice PARCC test in March. A new measure significantly changes the way schools are rated by taking into account a school’s professional practices and programs for increasing student success. In the past, standardized testing alone was used as the benchmark for school success. But under the Illinois Balanced Accountability Measure, standardized testing only accounts for 30 percent of that grade. BELOW: Woodland Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Jana Clark proctors a practice the PARCC test March 3. District 30-C Superintendent Todd Koehl, a member of the superintendents team that helped craft the new law. “But many things are going on that contribute to that,” Koehl said. “We also wanted the accountability model to reflect practices that go on in a school.” Koehl said sometimes test scores don’t show that, but at the same time other good programs or practices are helping students succeed. The new measure came out of the state Vision 20/20 initiative, which is a partnership with the Illinois Association of School Administrators, Illinois Principals Association, Illinois Association of School Business Officials, Illinois Association of School Boards, Superintendents’ Commission for the Study of Demographics and Diversity and the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents. Vision 20/20 aims to develop a long-range plan for improving public education

in the state. IBAM originated from one of the four pillars of Vision 20/20, “Shared Accountability,” Roger Eddy said. Eddy, executive director of the Illinois Association of School Boards, said the point was to diversify accountability in multiple areas. “Schools are more than one test,” Eddy said. “This allows us to come up with a system for schools to tell their own stories.” Incorporating the lo-

cal impact and needs of the school was a key area of concern for the Vision 20/20 team. “What’s important in rural southern Illinois is not the same as a Chicago suburban school district,” Eddy said. The new accountability measure will be rolled out in the next five years, Koehl said. “Locally, what we’ll see is so many of our school districts perform well and have

Bugg said the Coal City School Board already was internally gauging school performance by incorporating testing data along with the needs of the community. “We are a strong, blue-collar community,” Bugg said. “To treat every child as they should be going to college is a disservice. Some enter the trades and workforce and they are going to be very successful.” Bugg said anywhere between 35 and 50 percent of seniors at Coal City High School go into the trades. And many students prep at the Grundy Area Vocational Center. “Some of those students end up going to college later, but are successful and filling a niche,” Bugg said. Plainfield School District 202 Superintendent Lane Abrell said IBAM is a step in the right direction, but there was still more that needs to be incorporated to make a better school “mosaic.” “When looking at the entire picture, you’ve got statistical data,” Abrell said. “But there is also anecdotal data and community reform. Those somehow need to be taken into account.” Abrell said that the experience of recent graduates also should be considered in the process. “I think this is going to help clear up a muddy picture,” he said. “But I’d be surprised if this is a final metric.” Koehl said the IBAM team will be working through issues that might come up over the next five years. “The important piece of it is that this will be a great measure of schools because it’s a multi-pronged measurement,” Koehl said. “If all prongs work well, then students’ outcomes will improve. If the school is in a good position with its organizational structures it will improve.”

The girl’s mother and great-grandmother were unable to move the lawnmower off the girl until Plainfield Fire paramedics arrived, police said. The girl was flown to Loyola Medical Center in May-

wood with a “severe laceration to the upper leg,” reports said. Evidence technicians were called to the scene and family members were interviewed but no criminal charges are expected, according to sheriff’s police.

lane bridge will become a two-lane bridge during construction, creating a traffic bottleneck. The bridge was built in the early 1980s when Caton Farm was a county road and traffic was light. Caton Farm now is maintained by the city and has become one of Joliet’s major corridors. The bridge is between the Interstate 55 frontage road and Route 59, an area that gets heavy traffic when people are going to work and

coming home. About 25,000 vehicles a day now cross the bridge. “When it was built there was no development out there,” Trizna said. “It wasn’t designed, I believe, for the traffic it gets now.” Deterioration has reached the point that a weight restriction has been put on the bridge. Trizna added that driving won’t be so bad during times of the day when traffic is light-

er. But traffic is likely to get backed up during peak morning and afternoon periods. Councilman Larry Hug, whose 1st District includes the bridge, described the potential traffic impact as “an inconvenience.” “We all know this needs to be done,” Hug said. “It’s going to be good for the Caton Farm corridor. But I want to let people know out of the box that it’s going to cause some delays.”

JOLIET – Crossing the DuPage River on Caton Farm Road is likely to be tough at times next year. The Caton Farm Road bridge over the river will be reconstructed, and city officials are giving people a heads-up that driving through will not be easy. “It will be a mess – no doubt about it, but it’s got to be done,” James Trizna, the city’s public works director, told the Joliet City Council Public Works Committee last

week. The City Council on Tuesday approved $471,000 for the project. The money is the city’s share of the $2.35 million project, which is primarily funded by the federal government. Joliet is spending Motor Fuel Tax funds on the bridge. “The intent is to do this in one construction season,” Trizna said. Construction is likely to start in March and run until sometime around Thanksgiving, he said. Half of the bridge will remain open throughout construction. But the four-

LOCAL BRIEFS JOLIET – Councilman Jim McFarland is offering free smoke detectors to residents. In a news release, McFarland said he is offering the detectors in keeping with the October Fire Prevention Month theme of, “Hear the beep where you sleep. Every bedroom needs a working some alarm.” “In a fire, seconds count,” McFarland said. “Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep.” He is offering one free battery-operated smoke detector to each resident who does not have a detector or has one that is more than 10 years old. Supplies are limited, he said. But those who want a detector should call 815-714-8787 or email jimamcfarland@gmail. com. McFarland said he is buying the detectors out of the salary he gets as councilman.

Lemonade stand raises funds for fallen officers By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Five kids with a lemonade stand raised $6,300 for the families of fallen police officers, an amount astounding enough to get them a proclamation from the city last week. The stand was set up on Glenwood Avenue in Joliet on Sept. 6. But it was probably the advance notice on social media that generated so much attention and so many donations, said Patrick Kelly and William Moore, the two Joliet police officers whose children worked the stand that Sunday. Even so, neither expected so much support. “I was stunned,” Kelly said. “I was really, really shocked that there was that much support from everybody.” Kelly said he and Moore never looked for media atten-

Kelly’s children, Caragh, 10, and Greyson, 7, sold lemonade with Moore’s three children, Preston, 12, Ella, 9, and Gehrig, 6. “I didn’t expect that many people to come,” said Ella Moore. “We made 30 gallons of lemonade.”

It was not long before they realized they had to make more. “We were like, ‘Wow, there’s a lot of people,’ ” Ella said. “It made me feel really good.” Ella also feels good about what her dad does for a living: “He helps the community.” Moore said it was gratifying to see so many people come out for the cause. He works a

beat on Jefferson Street, where Moore has gotten to know some of the homeless people. “One of the homeless guys came, and he gave a couple of bucks,” Moore said. People came as far as Cook County, Moore said, after word was spread on various websites and social media. “People would just pull over and hand you money,” he said. “Some people came up and dropped off $100. It was crazy.” Kelly said it all started one night when he was talking with his wife about the recent increase in police officers being killed across the country. “My children overheard us. They were concerned,” Kelly said. They got the idea of running a lemonade stand. Kelly and Moore are friends, and their kids play together, so the two families, including mothers Angela Kelly and Jamie

Moore, partnered to make lemonade and snacks – more than they expected. “I was expecting maybe the kids would raise $500,” Kelly said. “I bought 300 cups. We ran out of the cups in three hours.” The lemonade stand, set up on the front lawn of the Will County Center for Community Concerns building, generated $5,694 that day. More money came in later through donations. After the proclamation honoring the children was read at the Joliet City Council meeting Tuesday, the people in the council chambers stood up to give them an ovation. “We weren’t doing it for any media attention,” Kelly said “We were just trying to help out some families.” Checks of $2,100 each will be sent to the widows of three police officers.

Runners cross the finish line in Joliet for Will-Grundy Medical Clinic By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

– which relies solely on donor support without state or federal funds.

West said the fundraising goal was $15,000, adding that she was unsure if they had reached that target as of Saturday morning. The clinic’s operating budget is just more than $500,000, but the clinic provides “upwards of $10 million in health care services each year,” West said. Outside of the 12 paid staff members, the clinic relies on about three dozen volunteer doctors and nursing staff to help carry out 500 unique patients visits a month, she said. “For every dollar, we turn that into $10 or $20,” she said. “That’s the power of volunteerism.” A community-led task force founded the clinic in

1988 in response to the growing number of sick people “cycling in and out of the emergency room,” West said. “We feel the clinic is a shining example of when a community comes together to solve challenges,” West said. More than 100 runners participated in Saturday’s event. Same-day registration was $40, while advanced registration was $35. Major sponsors on Saturday included United Ways of Will and Grundy counties, along with Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, Silver Cross Hospital, Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers, and Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital. West said the area hospitals

are supportive of the free clinic because they realize the importance of keeping patients out the emergency room. “Hospitals realize [emergency room] care is not effective. The ER is supposed to stabilize someone and send them on their way,” West said. “With our services, the clinic can become their home base for care.” For the second time in two years Saturday, Yolanda Avalos, of Joliet, crossed the finish line to raise funds for the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic. She said it would be a great way to give back. “I know they do great things for the community,” Avalos said.

JOLIET – With a time of 20:41, Joliet firefighter Jesse Oostema, 35, was the first to cross the finish line Saturday at the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic’s 8th annual Blood Run 5K event in downtown Joliet. His co-workers weren’t too far behind him, however, with local firefighters earning four of the top five spots in Saturday’s charity race event. Joliet Fire Captain Ron Fox said the Joliet Fire Department enjoys participating in events for good causes, including the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic in Joliet. “It’s all for charity,” Fox said. “It’s great, what they do.” Proceeds from Saturday’s event will help support the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic – the only free health clinic in Will and Grundy counties for people without health insurance and with limited financial resources. The clinic’s executive director, Shawn West, said she appreciates how the community came together Saturday to raise money for the clinic

Mazon church hosts charity dodgeball tournament Nov. 1 By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com MAZON – A dodgeball tournament scheduled for Nov. 1 will add one more rule to the five “D”s of the game: dodge, duck, dip, dive, dodge and donate. The Park Street Congregational UCC Church of Mazon is hosting its second annual charity dodgeball tournament at Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School benefiting the Mazon-Verona-Kinsman, or MVK, Community Christmas Basket Project. “We had a lot of great competition last year,” said Jon Grushkin, who organizes the tournament. Last year, the event raised more than $900 for the basket project, which provides food, clothing and

toys to needy families before Christmas. Grushkin said the charity tournament was started after some of the local kids participated in a dodgeball tournament in Coal City. “We were looking to raise money for the Christmas basket project,” Grushkin said, adding that last year the basket project helped more than 70 families, including more than 260 people. The tournament, which is from 1 to 5 p.m. Nov. 1 in the middle school at 1013 North St. in Mazon, will be divided into four age groups: fifth- and sixth-graders, seventh- and eighth-graders, high school students, and adults. The entry fee is $25 per five-player team through Oct. 25. Then, the entry fee

becomes $40 a team. The fee must be submitted with an online registration form and waiver forms at MyParkStreetChurch.com. Payment also can be sent to the Park Street Church at P.O. Box 266, Mazon, IL 60444. Grushkin said teams also can sign up on the day of the tournament provided they bring the registration form, player waivers and fee. Spectators can either bring a canned good for donation, or pay $1 admission. Grushkin said people can also donate directly to the basket project by writing checks out to the MVK Christmas Basket Fund and mailing it to Jeanne Madison at 1505 E. Braceville Road in Mazon. The Mazon State Bank also is accepting donations.

STATE & NATION BRIEFS Ex-cemetery worker gets probation for desecration

CHICAGO – A former suburban Chicago cemetery worker has received probation for desecrating bodies and removing skeletal remains to sell graves to customers unaware they were buying previously sold plots. Maurice Dailey was a backhoe operator at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip. He pleaded guilty in July to desecration, removal of buried remains and removal of headstone charges. Dailey, 65, was sentenced to three years of probation. Judge Joan Margaret O’Brien also ordered Dailey to perform 120 hours of community service. Prosecutors said the scheme to sell previously occupied graves was masterminded by the cemetery’s then-director, Carolyn Towns. It was prompted by perceived overcrowding. Towns is serving a 12-year sentence. Two brothers also have been convicted, with 51-year-old Keith Nicks sentenced to six years in prison and 44-year-old Terrance Nicks to three years in prison.

Jackson calls for gun violence conference

CHICAGO – Civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson is calling for a White House conference on gun violence to deal with an issue plaguing some U.S. cities. Jackson on Friday noted President Barack Obama’s visit to Oregon to console the families of nine victims of a shooting on a college campus. Jackson

said every weekend the city of Chicago has gun violence equal to last week’s deadly shooting in Roseburg. The July 4 weekend saw 48 people shot in Chicago.

Suicide bombings kill 95 at Turkey peace rally

ANKARA, Turkey – Nearly simultaneous explosions targeted a Turkish peace rally Saturday in Ankara, killing at least 95 people and wounding hundreds in Turkey’s deadliest attack in years – one that threatens to inflame the nation’s ethnic tensions. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said there were “strong signs” that the two explosions – which struck 50 yards apart just after 10 a.m. – were suicide bombings. He suggested Kurdish rebels or Islamic State group militants were to blame. The two explosions occurred seconds apart outside the capital’s main train station as hundreds of opposition supporters and Kurdish activists gathered for the peace rally organized by Turkey’s public workers’ union and other groups. The protesters planned to call for increased democracy in Turkey and an end to the renewed violence between Kurdish rebels and Turkish security forces. The attacks Saturday came at a tense time for Turkey, a NATO member that borders war-torn Syria, hosts more refugees than any other nation in the world.

Rep. Paul Ryan, R- Wis., arrives Thursday for a meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., where Republicans were to nominate candidates to replace outgoing House Speaker John Boehner. After two tumultuous weeks that saw the current speaker announce his resignation and his heir apparent abruptly pull out of the running, House Republicans are in disarray as they confront a leadership vacuum.

House Republicans ask: Can anyone lead us? By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The job of leading House Republicans may have gone from difficult to impossible. After two tumultuous weeks that saw the current speaker announce his resignation and his heir apparent abruptly pull out of the running, House Republicans are in disarray as they confront a leadership vacuum. And the only person widely deemed fit to fill it is a lawmaker who says he doesn’t want to, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and the party’s 2012 vice presidential nominee. Even as they plead with Ryan to reconsider, Republicans are left asking themselves whether anyone can lead them. And even if Ryan does yield to their entreaties, some question whether even he could tame a House GOP that seems fractured beyond

repair, with a “hell no” caucus ready to risk crises and government shutdowns to achieve its goals and establishment-minded lawmakers seemingly powerless to do anything about it. “It is bad,” said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. “We cannot allow 35 or 40 people to hijack the party and blackmail the Congress. We have to get things done.” On Friday, lawmakers left Washington, D.C., in confusion and discord to head home to their districts for a weeklong recess. Ryan returned to Janesville, Wisconsin, to his wife and young family to turn over his options, with leading Republicans inside Congress and out urging him to step up for the good of the party. Before the House adjourned, outgoing Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, who’d intended to leave Congress Oct. 30, assured lawmakers he would stay on until a replacement can be selected. When that will happen is uncertain,

but Boehner urged Republicans to find a way out of their turmoil together. “This institution cannot grind to a halt,” he said at a closed-door meeting according to an account provided by someone in the room. “It’s up to the people in this room to listen to each other, come together and figure this out. Time for us to take the walls down, open up our ears and listen to each other.” Yet by announcing he would resign rather than face a tea party-backed floor vote to depose him, Boehner conceded that the fight to lead the House was one he could not win. And within days of his announcement, the same bloc of compromise-averse hardliners who’d pushed him out derailed his No. 2, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy withdrew from the speaker’s race at the last possible moment on Thursday, as it became clear he would struggle for the needed majority on the House floor.

JT Central/West Launch “...employment in occupations related to STEM is projected to grow to more than 9 million between 2012 to 2022. That’s an increase of about 1 million jobs over 2012 employment levels.” - STEM Education Coalition Wagner said. The teachers were either hand-picked to teach this class, or volunteered for the opportunity, excited to be on the ground floor of a new class offering and to grow as an educator. “As a teacher today, it is almost unacceptable to stay static when it comes to preparing our youth. Today the hot educational topics are using technology in the classroom,” McGuffey said. “Here at JTHS we undergo professional development to make sure that we are always offering the latest research to ensure a student’s education is relevant and meaningful.”

Joliet Central Introduction to Engineering Design class utilizes computers, lectures and hands-on activity. JOLIET – Joliet West teacher Tim Gonzales said he wanted to be in the first group of educators to teach a new elective course that aims to strengthen interest in STEM because he believes students succeed in a handson learning environment, and can benefit from the course’s fundamentals in everyday life as well.

nation’s leading provider of K-12 STEM programs. It offers curriculum and high-quality teacher professional development models, combined with a network of educators and corporate or community partners to help students develop skills necessary to succeed in our global economy, according to pltw.org

“The class is designed to progress step-by-step from foundational skills to building creative projects from each progressive skill,” he said of the Introduction to Engineering Design course he and three other Joliet Township High School teachers are implementing this academic year.

The emphasis on STEM – short for science, technology, engineering and mathematics – is because of the growing need for students to be educated in these areas to be ready for jobs related to those fields. According to the STEM Education Coalition, “employment in occupations related to STEM is projected to grow to more than 9 million between 2012 to 2022. That’s an increase of about 1 million jobs over 2012 employment levels.”

“They can build creative projects using their new engineering design process tools and it will give them an advantage to achieve real-world problem solving as well,” Gonzales added. The elective course is part of the nationally recognized Project Lead the Way, a nonprofit organization and the

In the classroom Each school offers two classes of the elective, with 28 to 30 students in each class. Joliet West split the classes into a ninth-grade class taught by Wagner and a 10th- to 12th-grade class taught by Gonzales. The Joliet Central classes include students in ninth through 12th grades. During the course of the academic year, the students will go through 10 units, including design process, technical sketching and drawing, measurement and statistics, modeling skills, geometry of design, reverse engineering, documentation, advanced computer modeling, design

Erin Wagner from Joliet West and Dale West and Chris McGuffey from Joliet Central joined Gonzales this summer for a two-week, intense training course at the University of Illinois at Chicago campus that covered an entire year of curriculum. The teachers stayed at the campus, took classes during the day and studied at night, with breaks to go home on the weekend. “It was definitely a rigorous training, trying to squeeze 180 days of curriculum in 10 days of classes. But, hands down it was the best professional development class I’ve done. I feel comfortable that I know what I am doing,” Sponsored by

teams and design challenges. West said he always has had a passion for engineering and drafting, and with his skill set from his own personal education, wanted to show his students how exciting this field can be, as well as offer an enriched experience.

Gonzales said although his teaching background is in physics, he has had experience with a hands-on job where he solved problems for customers in the automotive interior repair field, which taught him the value of a problem-solving process. “I love a dynamic classroom, or controlled chaos, where students are engaged with the material being taught and are active participants in both teaching and learning,” Gonzales said. The first unit, design process, introduced students to the field of engineering as a whole and the design process engineers use to develop solutions to problems. The unit is thought of as more exploratory, with a goal of getting the students to think. West said in one recent project, students had to design a container for a beverage with some sort of feature. “Some of the ideas the students came up with for their container was for the cup to show the temperature of the liquid inside, show fat and calories of the drink, have a solar powered cup to keep coffee hot, and even a phone charging station connected to the cup,” West said. Wagner said the students are exceeding her expectations so far this year.

The freshmen Introduction to Engineering class at Joliet West, taught by Erin Wagner, worked on brainstorming in groups. “I’m impressed with the quality of questions the students come up with, and it is neat to see how their brains work and watch them work together on a project,” Wagner added.

“We are providing a window of what’s possible,” Simpson said. “We want to be helpful and hope to enhance the curriculum.” - Allison Selk

Making it possible The Joliet program is possible thanks to a grant from Cargill, and a partnership between JTHS and ExxonMobil, said Carol Collins, district project director for JTHS. Alongside the PLTW curriculum, Collins said ExxonMobil engineers plan to participate in classroom activities with the students, providing “a real-world insight, knowledge and trends connected to the curriculum. ExxonMobil engineers also mentor and provide feedback on student projects.” The Exxon engineers are part of the company’s “Be an Engineer” program, which launched in fall 2014 to help kids better understand the engineering field and opportunities it offers.

Joliet West Introduction to Engineering Design teacher, Erin Wagner, far left, used the hallway in order to have enough room for her students to test their creations during the “instant challenge” project.

Tricia Simpson, Midwest Public Affairs manager for ExxonMobil, said the company is an aggressive supporter of STEM programs. The partnership is an opportunity to help local students envision themselves in a career they may not know even exists.

“I currently teach CAD, engineering graphics and an architecture class, and now the Introduction to Engineering. Current colleges and employers are looking for individuals with these types of skills so they can compete in the world in which we live,” West said. “The U.S. currently cannot fill the high demand for engineering positions and is having to outsource to other countries.”

Some smaller mutual funds to consider buying Dear Mr. Berko: I have $85,000 to invest for pure growth for my 4-year-old granddaughter. I want to buy five to seven no-load mutual funds with small portfolios – ones containing about 40 individual issues. I have been reading you for 31 years. Your help would be appreciated. – WP, Cleveland Dear WP: This is a tough

question. So I had to ask a brilliant and sometimes modestly successful fund manager who prefers the nom de plume Cecil D. Michaelpants for his recommendations. Cecil’s first pick was the barely known Parnassus Endeavor Fund (PARWX-$30.03). Its $1.2 billion growth portfolio is run by Jerome Dodson. PARWX invests in companies that provide superior work environments for employees. Dodson believes that companies with excellent work environments can recruit and train employees who will perform at higher levels of productivity, motivation and loyalty than their competitors. This five-star fund – which owns companies such as Altera, Perrigo and W.W.

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Grainger – has one-, three-, five- and 10-year total returns of 4.13 percent, 15.43 percent, 14.84 percent and 11.2 percent, respectively. PARWX has 36 issues in its portfolio. His second pick is the $2.04 billion Ariel Appreciation Fund Investor Class (CAAPX-$49.91), run by John Rogers, whose investment style imitates Warren Buffett’s. He seeks superbly managed companies with strong brand recognition and heavy cash flows. This four-star fund owns issues with which you may not be familiar, including Bristow Group, Kennametal and Lazard. Rogers has produced one-, three-, five- and 10-year total returns of minus 3.89 percent, 13.15 percent, 11.92 and 7.22 percent, respectively. There are 38 issues in CAAPX’s portfolio. Janus Forty Fund Class R (JDCRX-$30.22) is part of the multibillion-dollar Janus Capital Group, a huge and

well-known fund family that’s been managing money for generations. And Cecil seems to have an abiding affection for Douglas Rao, who has been the fund’s manager for a bit over two years. JDCRX is a pure growth fund that invests in companies of any size, from large established corporations to smaller emerging-growth companies. This three-star fund has such issues as Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Endo International and Zoetis in its portfolio, and the one-, three-, five- and 10-year total returns are 10.47 percent, 13.93 percent, 12.79 percent and 7.89 percent, respectively. There are probably fewer than 943 investors who are familiar with the $1.1 billion portfolio of the Homestead Small-Company Stock Fund (HSCSX-$37.69), which has been among Michaelpants’ best-liked small-cap funds since last year. Some say that Cecil is stuck on Prabha Carpenter, who has been running this fund since May 2014. Ms. Carpenter’s 37-stock portfolio owns issues such as Werner Enterprises, Francesca’s

Holdings and Encore Capital Group, which are regarded as highly undervalued stocks. This five-star portfolio’s one-, three-, five- and 10-year total returns are 3.4 percent, 13.29 percent, 14.26 percent and 9.95 percent, respectively. Hennessy Focus Fund (HFCSX-$68.73) only owns 24 stocks in its four-star, $1.7 billion portfolio, which is usually fairly cash-heavy. Cecil has great regard for the two co-managers, who are constantly looking for undervalued growth issues with predictable earnings. HFCSX owns such interesting equities as Twenty-First Century Fox, Markel Corp. and Brookfield Asset Management, which have allowed the co-managers to produce one-, three-, five- and 10-year total returns of 9.42 percent, 16.43 percent, 15.11 percent and 10.31 percent. However, HFCSX’s operating expenses are comparatively top-heavy. Baron Partners Fund (BPTRX-$35.64), even with its heavy fees, is one of Cecil Michaelpants’ favorite mid-cap growth funds. BPTRX aggressively searches for fast-grow-

ing, innovative companies that Ron Baron, who founded the fund in 1992, believes can double their share prices in five years. Ron’s 28-stock portfolio owns names such as FactSet Research Systems, Mobileye and Illumina. The $2.1 billion four-star portfolio has one-, three-, five- and 10-year total returns of minus 0.28 percent, 16.51 percent, 14.77 percent and 8.13 percent. And finally, Mr. Michaelpants’ seventh mutual fund pick is the almost unknown Brown Advisory Growth Equity Fund (BIAGX-$19.85), with only 33 stocks in its fourstar, $2.3 billion portfolio. Ken Stuzin, who manages BIAGX, searches for companies – e.g., Apple, Starbucks and Amazon.com – with annualized earnings growth of 10 percent or better that can double every decade. The one-, three-, five- and 10-year returns are 4.24 percent, 10.4 percent, 11.77 percent and 8.64 percent.

OUR VIEW

Expediency trumps duty Solving Illinois’ budget stalemate is both urgent and important, but more than 100 days into the fiscal year, feuding leaders haven’t budged. Why? It’s not politically expedient to do so. Here we have a state that has record financial problems – billions of dollars in debts, deficits and unfunded pension obligations that are right up there with the worst of them. Voters elect candidates to public office to take on such problems and solve them. Indeed, before Election Day, candidates claim they will “fight” for the average citizen. Yet, based on their actions, these public officeholders in the legislative and executive branches of government give the appearance the lack of a state budget is a problem they just don’t care to spend much time working on. Therefore, much of their authority to spend tax dollars has been ceded to the courts, but not all. Much of the state government continues to operate under court order, but day after day, we learn of agencies and vendors and average people who suffer as a result. Gov. Bruce Rauner, a first-year Republican, believes Illinois’ devilish problems won’t be solved without structural reforms, many of which are friendly toward business. He wants movement on those reforms from entrenched Democratic leaders, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, before he (Rauner) is willing to agree to a tax increase to boost revenue for our cash-starved state. Madigan and Cullerton, in turn, want to divorce the tax and budget issue from Rauner’s so-called Turnaround Agenda. Approve higher taxes and a 2015-16 budget first, and then we’ll talk about reform, their stance seems to be. Both sides believe they hold the upper hand. Rauner tells supermajority Dems to go ahead and approve tax hikes on their own, over his veto, if they want them so badly. The Democrats say, “Forget the Turnaround Agenda, governor; just do your job and get going on a budget.” President Dwight Eisenhower was famous for analyzing problems based on their relative importance and urgency before deciding how to handle them. And handle them he did. “Ike,” as supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe during World War II and later a two-term president, got much accomplished in his life because political expediency was low on his priority list. Too bad for Illinoisans the leaders they choose, election after election, care more about their own political agendas than they do about fulfilling their obligations to the people who elected them. Meanwhile, the days without a state budget continue to grow.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Expecting a different debate While much of the summer’s media coverage was consumed with the rise, and rise, and slippage of Donald Trump and other Republican outsiders, Democrats have been listening to and expecting a different conversation about the nation’s future. The Republican debates have offered entertainment approaching a circus, with Trump as the ringmaster. The debates have been narrowly focused, producing more personal snark than enlightening clash of ideas. There’s been a lot of grandstanding, a lot of outlandish, grandiose claims, a lot of pandering, and a lot of vague promises and tired talking points. We expect something different from the Democratic debate, which is taking place next Tuesday in Las Vegas. CNN, along with Facebook, will host the Las Vegas Democratic debate with its

VIEWS Donna Brazile star anchor, Anderson Cooper, moderating. The format includes five candidates: Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee. Here’s a brief rundown on each: Hillary Clinton remains the front-runner and heavy favorite. She’s a centrist with strong support from the progressive caucus. It was Bill Clinton’s “New Democrats” movement that returned the Democratic Party to the center after a decade-long liberal tilt. Hillary is left-of-center on economic issues and right-of-center on foreign policy. She’s accused of being a latecomer, for instance, on the president’s history-making Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, which she now

opposes. One of Clinton’s applause-getting lines is, “I’m not running for my husband’s third term or President [Barack] Obama’s third term. I’m running for my first term.” Clinton sets herself apart from Obama on at least four issues: Deporting immigrants, arming Syrian rebels earlier and opposing both Medicaid expansion’s “Cadillac tax” and the Keystone pipeline. Vermont’s Sen. Bernie Sanders is an independent who refers to himself as a “Democratic Socialist.” Lest this be misunderstood, let me quote from the American Conservative headline: “Democrats Are Not Socialists, and Neither Is Bernie Sanders.” Socialists seek government ownership of a nation’s major industries. American Democratic-Socialists, however, advocate the

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

| OPINION

To the Editor: From across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom a political insurrection has shaken the British establishment. Jeremy Corbyn at 200-to-1 odds won the vote to lead the British Labor Party by 59 percent. The youth vote solidified his victory. Corbyn’s anti-austerity, anti-war, pro-refugee positions and his fear of the ascendant power of multinational corporations is a clarion call for change. Bernie Sanders’ program and his analysis of the U.S. political economic system is similar to that of Jeremy Corbyn. Both see the power of multinational corporations as poisoning the political process and as a threat to democracy. Both are different from the spin doctor politicians who suck up to the wealthy and the corporations. Both view austerity as the elites strategic plan to have the working and middle class pay for their blunders, greed and incompetence. Both see austerity as the elites justification for the privatization of public assets and as a way to enhance their power and wealth. Both Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn opposed the war in Iraq. Jeremy Corbyn viewed it as a war for oil. The fractured Middle East and the refugee crisis are its resultant aftermath. The homelands of millions of people are being destroyed and they are desperately fleeing the carnage and destruction. They are victims of war, drowning in the Mediterranean. The lifeless body of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi washed up on the shore was photographed in the arms of a Turkish officer and it evoked worldwide horror. Both Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn have been on the political stage for decades. Both have remained consistent in their message that another more just, more egalitarian world is possible. If it does not come to fruition, the present day multifaceted crisis will continue.

Corbyn, Sanders ready to lead

Don Torrence Joliet

Only in America

To the Editor: The president is right! We spend tens of billions trying to keep us safe from harm coming from the outside. Billions are spent on trying to keep us safe from dangerous people inside our borders. We spend all this money yet hamstring the effort by manufacturing and importing millions of handguns each year. We have been able to reduce vehicle deaths even as our population has

grown over the last 40 years. Gun deaths have exploded during the same time. The last numbers available are for 2013. Vehicle deaths were 33,804 and firearms 33,636. The news from Chicago seems to indicate a six or eight wounded to killed ratio. If those 2013 numbers continued into 2014, then more Americans were killed in America by Independence Day than battle deaths in the Vietnam War. The deaths from the World Trade Center equaled one month’s gun deaths in 2013. Thirty-one more battle deaths occurred in the Korean War than were killed in America in 2013. People want to know what laws can be passed to reduce gun deaths. Well, here’s one based on an idea from movies and TV shows. When you buy a gun, you are responsible for whatever it does. Gun show, auctions, and straw purchases would be dramatically cut and thus shootings. The president goes on TV when several people are killed, but a mass killing is four or more. If he went on TV for every mass shooting in America, he would be on the air several times every month. In 2013, 91 people were killed by a gun every day! No other country in the world – war torn or not lose that many people to guns. Chuck Johnson Morris

Commuters deserve better

To the Editor: News is filled with stories about refugees. How about the “refugee” problem here in Joliet – the hundreds of commuters who use public rail transportation. This method of travel is efficient and cuts down on traffic congestion. Commuters travel long distances to jobs, earning wages to pay taxes to support our community. One would think that commuters would be revered for their contributions. Instead, we are moved about like refugees. We once had a nice depot that provided shelter in bad weather. We could wait indoors for trains. The old station was closed, in preparation for a new showpiece that none of us really wanted. Of course this closure occurred before the new station was built. We were moved to temporary platforms. Now the new station’s future doesn’t look so bright, with millions over budget before the first shovel of dirt is turned. Meanwhile, in addition to standing in the rain and snow, we walk farther for the privilege. The city East lot most

convenient to our temporary outdoor boarding locations was closed this year. After waiting five years for one of those coveted spots, we’re turned away because the lot would be used for contractor parking. With no contractors and no new station, the lot stands empty. We refugees moved on farther to the courthouse lot for $1 a day. Rumor is that lot’s rate will be increased to $5 a day. The result – we refugees move farther from our temporary station to even more distant lots, enhancing our experience of walking blocks in bad weather. Why not let the planners walk from distant lots in bad weather to stand on open platforms a few times so they can gain some first-hand experience as refugees getting pushed farther and farther away? Why penalize the diminishing taxpayers who commute to work? William Badurski Shorewood

Truck traffic too heavy

To the Editor: On Wednesday morning I drove east on the Peotone-Wilmington county road. I counted 35 semis traveling westbound. How long will it be before the county roads fall apart or people are killed on these two-lane roads because of the heavy truck traffic? Ronald Stadt Channahon

Lesson in patience

To the Editor: You know what I found out recently? It was a very good lesson in patience. I was helping my grandson with a school project that had a deadline due soon. I was trying to find some answers while he was gluing his project together. I was on the computer looking for answers to some evasive questions. Well, when you can’t find the right answers, or you get several different answers, it can be quite frustrating. And this is an adult’s point of view with years of schooling behind him. So can you imagine what these young minds go through every day in school and then coming home and being told to get their homework done? I’m sure this can be quite nerve-wracking. So parents and guardians, cut your kids some slack. Let them relax a while before they jump into their homework. School can be quite a brain drain. Vincent Duarte Jr. Joliet

Debate promises to be substantive clash of ideas • BRAZILE

Continued from page 41 nation’s “market economy adequately provides for [the] basic needs for everybody.” (“No Really – What’s the Difference Between A Democrat and a Socialist,” Bloomberg.com, July 31, 2015). He caucuses with Senate Democrats. Sanders tapped into a groundswell of discontent over the economic stagnation of most Americans while the super rich cornered nearly all the nation’s newly produced wealth. Virginia’s Jim Webb has an impressive resume: He served as secretary of the Navy during the Reagan administration, is a Vietnam combat veteran, has authored 10 books and served as governor and senator. The centerpiece of his campaign is economic inequality. Webb is running as a populist – championing the interests of ordinary citizens. Webb is decidedly conservative on gun control and the environment. He’s passionate on rebalancing the economy to provide greater opportunities for the working and middle classes. Martin O’Malley left office early this year as Maryland’s governor after serving two terms. He became a Baltimore councilman at age 28 and mayor 10 years later before stepping into the governor’s office in 2007. O’Malley was an early opponent of the Keystone pipeline, wants strong climate control and supports the Iran nuclear treaty, the trade agreement and immigration reform. Lincoln Chafee is a political refugee from a Republican Party that has become increasingly intolerant, in Chafee’s words, “of traditional conservatives.” He was appointed to fill his father’s Senate seat from Rhode Island. He later ran for governor as an independent, and then became a Democrat before his re-election. These are not the actions of an opportunist, but of a calculated risk-taker. Each of the Democratic candidates comes from a different place on the political spectrum, and each has, for the most part, refrained from personal attacks. This means the debate promises to be the kind of substantive clash of ideas the country is eager for. Stay tuned.

FOOTBALL: KANELAND 23, MORRIS 7

Turnovers key in Morris’ loss to Kaneland By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The first time Morris had the ball Friday night, the offense drove 90 yards and ended up in the end zone. After that, though, the going was considerably rougher, as Northern Illinois Big 12 East rival Kaneland held Morris (34, 0-3) scoreless the rest of the way and handed the Redskins a 23-7 defeat on Homecoming and Senior Night. Kaneland received the opening kickoff and marched down the field, reaching the Morris 18-yard line. On third-and-9 from the 18, the Redskins’ Jake Webb dove to intercept a Jake Marczuk pass and gave Morris possession at its 10-yard line. Running back Michael Feeney broke through the line on the first play and raced down the left sideline for a 44-yard gain to the Kaneland 46. Feeney, who finished with a team-leading 71 yards on 13 carries, then carried for losses of 3 and 1 yard, giving Morris a third-and-14 from midfield. Nathan Guth then hit Tommy Balentine with a short pass, and Balentine made two defenders miss en route to a 15yard gain and a first down. On the next play, Guth ran up the middle but fumbled when he was hit. The ball came loose and bounced to the right, where Balentine scooped it up and ran the remaining 30 yards for a touchdown. Collin Tucker added the extra point, and Morris went ahead, 7-0. The Redskins then forced a punt and took over on their 34. Runs of 11 yards by Balentine, 10 yards by Guth and 23 yards by Feeney on fourth-and-2 moved the ball to the Kaneland 15. Morris faced fourth-and-5 from the 10, and a 27-yard field goal attempt by Tucker was no good. “Our opening drive was great,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “We went 90 yards and scored a touchdown. Our second drive was fine. Even though we missed a field goal, I can live with that because we moved the ball, ate some clock and gave ourselves

Morris’ Tommy Balentine tries to evade Kaneland defenders Friday in a 23-7 loss. Balentine scored the only Redskins touchdown. a chance to score.” After that, though, there weren’t too many chances to score, as Kaneland’s defense forced five turnovers the rest of the way, two of the scoring variety. One was a fumble returned for a touchdown and the other a fumble recovered by Morris in the end zone for a safety. Kaneland missed a 20-yard field goal midway through the second quarter, but got the ball right back when Matthew Redman intercepted a pass at midfield and returned it to the Morris 22. Two plays later, Marczuk hit Tanner Robertsen with a short pass and Robertsen made a Redskin defender miss to finish off the 22-yard scoring play with a sprint into the end zone. Drew Franklin’s kick tied the game with 5:19 to go until halftime. Guth thwarted the next Knight drive with an inter-

ception at the Morris 13, but Kaneland forced a Morris punt and took over at the 39 with 1:28 to play. Marczuk hit Robertson, who finished with eight catches for 142 yards, with a 38-yard pass to the Morris 1-yard line. After Morris stopped Zachary Parker for a 1-yard loss, Jonathan Alstott went over from the 2 with 24 seconds left to give Kaneland a 14-7 lead at halftime. Morris got the ball to start the second half, but Kaneland’s Isaiah Baerenklau intercepted a pass. The Morris defense forced a punt, which was downed at the Redskin 5. Kegan Sobol ran for gains of 19 and 20 yards on the ensuing drive, which reached the Kaneland 46 before being stopped on fourth down. Kaneland missed a 36-yard field goal attempt, giving Morris the ball at its 20. After a 10-yard run by Bal-

entine, Ricky Del Favero fumbled, and the ball was scooped up by Kaneland’s Austin Vickery, who returned it 15 yards for a touchdown and a 21-7 lead. On the next drive, Guth was sacked in the end zone and fumbled. He recovered his own fumble, but it was in the end zone and it was a safety for the Knights to cap the night’s scoring. “I thought our defense played well,” Thorson said. “Two of their scores were by their defense, so the points on Kaneland’s side of the scoreboard is not an indication of how our defense played. We just put our defense in difficult spots all night. You can’t do that and expect to win. “We’ve had our ups and downs on offense all year, but we haven’t had many turnovers. Tonight, the turnovers were a killer.”

FOOTBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 38, NAZARETH 35

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, October 11, 2015

JOLIET – The game was downright weird. But in the end, Joliet Catholic Academy remained unbeaten Friday night after surviving its East Suburban Catholic showdown with Nazareth, 38-35, at ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium. The crazy thing was, the Hilltoppers (7-0, 5-0) appeared ready to turn the much-anticipated clash into another night of the running clock when they surged to a 31-0 halftime lead. Before it ended, however, Nazareth (5-2, 3-2) had gotten within 31-28 with 8:50 remaining and then within 38-35 with 0:58 left. JCA was not able to breathe a collective sigh of relief until the Hilltoppers’ Colin O’Brien corraled the ensuing onside kick attempt. “Yeah, we were able to hang on,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said. “But even when we had a 31-point lead at halftime, you would think you’d feel good, but I never did. Nazareth has a lot of talent, especially in the skill positions.” Roadrunners quarterback Carson Bartels, who completed 20 of 38 passes for 355 yards, threw touchdown passes of 20, 84, 82 and 8 yards in the second half. Yet that still was not enough to overcome the breakout performance of Hilltoppers sophomore wingback Ke’Von Johnson. With the Nazareth defense keying on Joliet area rushing leader Michael Johnson, Ke’Von Johnson popped several big runs up the middle. He rushed for a career-high 207 yards in 17 carries and scored four TDs on runs of 16, 60, 19 and 16 yards. Michael Johnson needed 30 carries to pick up 105 tough yards. After Nazareth scored to get within 31-28, Ke’Von Johnson returned the kickoff 52 yards to the Nazareth 43. That set up a five-play scoring drive, with Ke’Von Johnson taking it in from 16 yards out for the touchdown that wound up being the difference. “They were flowing hard whenever Michael [Johnson] went in motion,” Ke’Von

JCA survives after letting first-half lead slip away

Joliet Catholic’s Ke’Von Johnson runs the ball Friday during the second half against Nazareth Academy in Joliet. Johnson said. “I had to be the counter punch. Our offensive line blocked real well.” “They were keying on Michael, and we were able to do some things with our motion to get Ke’Von going,” Sharp said. “Our line blocked real well in the first half. In the second half, they [Roadrunners] did a much better job defensively, and we missed some blocks.” The JCA offensive line of Tyler Witt, Ze’Veyon Furcron, Ricky Fleming, Shane Raber and Ethan Emerson from left tackle to right tackle controlled things from the get-go. The Hilltoppers marched 76 yards on the game’s first possession, with Ke’Von Johnson scoring on a 16-yard run. Linebacker Patrick Tippet intercepted Bartels on Naz-

areth’s first possession, but the Hilltoppers could not convert the takeaway into points. However, on the first play following a Roadrunners’ punt, Ke’Von Johnson went 60 yard for a 14-0 lead. Zach Lukasik, who was 5 for 5 on extra points, kicked a 21-yard field goal following Ken Aguirre’s fumble recovery at the Nazareth 4-yard line, making it 17-0 early in the second quarter. “That was disappointing, only getting three points out of the two turnovers,” Sharp said. Ke’Von Johnson’s 49-yard run set up a 5-yard Michael Johnson TD run for a 24-point lead. Luke Mander made the tackle to foil a fake punt attempt late in the second quarter, and Ke’Von Johnson ran

19 yards to the end zone on the next play to make it 31-0 at halftime. Lukasik, who along with Mander man the defensive end slots, spent much of the night pressuring Bartels. “Our goal was to pound them and pound them, and we finally got through this game,” Lukasik said. “They have good athletes.” Several of Lukasik’s kickoffs intentionally were kicked high, forcing Nazareth to call for a series of fair catches. The idea was to prevent Notre Dame-bound Julian Love from getting his hands on the ball any more than was necessary. “That was our goal, to kick it high, make them recover it and keep it away from Love,” Lukasik said. Love caught two passes

for 100 yards, including an 84-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and rushed for 55 yards in nine carries. Forty-one of those yards came on a run down the sideline where Aguirre, from his defensive tackle slot, ran him down at the JCA 24. The Roadrunners failed to score on that possession. The Hilltoppers, who have been dealing with signifcant injuries, lost standout linebacker Brad Krisch on Nazareth’s first offensive possession and lost Raber late in the second quarter. Both suffered knee injuries, the extent to be determined. Deonte Berry filled in at linebacker and Raymond Hernandez subbed for Raber at right guard. Nazareth won the sophomore game, 48-16.

FOOTBALL: BOLINGBROOK 68, JOLIET CENTRAL 6

Bolingbrook rolls past Joliet Central By DENNIS NELSON Shaw Media Correspondent BOLINGBROOK – Efficiency was the buzz word during Bolingbrook’s 68-6 SouthWest Suburban Blue win Friday over Joliet Central. The Raiders (4-3, 2-2) scored 48 points on 21 plays for the first quarter and a half. During that span, the Steelmen (0-7, 0-5) had minus-4 yards of offense on 17 plays. “Our goals were to get win No. 4 and to start preparing for Lockport next week because it’s a must-win game for us,” Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow said. A win at home against Lockport would make Bolingbrook playoff eligible. “Next week will give us five wins and with our points, we should be able to make the playoffs,” Ivlow said. Eight different Raiders reached pay dirt. In the first half, Jeremiah Lebron ran for touchdowns of 3 and 10 yards, and Jaylen Griffin ran for scores of 7 and 36 yards. Jazontae Howard (50-yard run), Deangelo Colon (46-yard catch), Lucas Warren (3-yard run) and Kendall Smith (68yard catch) also had first-half touchdown plays. Both touchdown passes came from Michael Freeze. “We took a step forward ex-

ball over and had a few penalties. But a few guys gave us

a spark and we took off from there.”

Central averted a shutout when Malek Harden scored from 1 yard out with 2:17 left in the first half. “We’re at the point in the season when our guys are battling, we have a lot of backups in there and we need to prepare them better as a coaching staff,” Central coach Brett Boyter said. “You have to give Bolingbrook a lot of credit. They are a good team and they are much better than their record shows. They are going to give H-F a heck of a game when they see them.” The Steelmen’s second-quarter touchdown drive was set up by runs of 33 and 26 yards by Ernst Grant. Malek Harden also ran 13 yards to the Raiders’ 1. Scoring second-half touchdowns for Bolingbrook were Sammy Nasca (6-yard run) and Deshawn Battle (11-yard run). Central’s Robert Ogden was taken off the field on a golf cart after the Raiders’ first touchdown with 7:14 remaining in the first quarter. “A lot of that was precautionary,” Boyter said. “He was conscious and alert. We’ll find out soon what his condition is and move forward from there.” The victory gives Bolingbrook back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

AREA FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

McNamara dashes Providence playoff hopes SUBMITTED REPORTS KANKAKEE – Providence Catholic was hoping that its Chicago Catholic Blue clash at Brother Rice in Week 8 would have playoff ramifications. Instead, seven weeks into the season, the Celtics officially are eliminated from any opportunity to defend their Class 7A state championship, the 10th state football title in school history. Needing a victory to remain playoff eligible, Prov-

idence (2-5) led Augustinian rival Bishop McNamara from the Chicago Catholic White, 14-6, early in the third quarter Friday night. However, the Irish (6-1) scored a touchdown and twopoint conversion in the third quarter to draw even, then put 10 more points on the board in the fourth quarter for a 24-14 triumph. Mike Markasovic scored both touchdowns for Providence, which will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2010 and only the second

time in the past 25 years.

HIGHLIGHTS Lemont 45, Hillcrest 0: Lem-

ont (6-1, 4-0) piled up 414 total yards in rolling to the South Suburban Blue home victory over Hillcrest (4-3, 2-2). That sets the table for next week’s home showdown against unbeaten Oak Forest for first place. Lemont quarterback Spencer Nagel enjoyed a huge night, completing 22 of 26 passes for 255 yards and four touchdowns. Matt Dunne

rushed for 128 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns. Jeremy Fejedelem caught nine passes for 174 yards and scored two touchdowns, while Josh Rogers returned an interception for a score. Hillcrest was held to 61 yards, including minus-42 on the ground.

Wilmington 47, Seneca 7:

Wilmington (7-0, 5-0), which earlier in the week moved into the No. 1 spot in the Associated Press Class 3A state

rankings, wrapped up a perfect slate in the Interstate Eight Small after grabbing a 33-0 halftime lead. The Wildcats’ Nick Hawkins (12 carries, 166 yards) scored on runs of 10, 42 and 9 yards. Brett McWilliams and Joe Mendoza added scoring runs, Jeff Treadmen (5 of 7 passing, 114 yards) threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Sam Jones and Alex Hatten made 19- and 32-yard field goals. The Wildcats finished with 380 total yards, 266 on the ground.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Plainfield South defenders bring down Minooka’s Drew Turek Friday, at Minooka High School. 488 yards of offense, including 368 passing yards, but got stopped three times within the 12-yard line and two other times inside the 26. “You have to credit Minooka for the play action and all of the things they did,” said South’s Danny Saracco, who had 10 tackles, including a key sack on Minooka’s next-to-last play. “I credit our defensive line so much since they’re always getting pressure on the quarterback. Jake Maher runs the ball so hard, [quarterback] Nicholas Deppe and his receivers are starting to click and our offensive line is getting to where they need to

be to give us a playoff opportunity.” South (4-3, 4-1) countered with 403 total yards, including 253 through the air, to help it claim a 21-14 halftime lead and a pair of two-touchdown advantages in the third quarter. Deppe was 12 of 15 for 253 yards and tossed three long touchdown passes. He threw a 57-yarder to Jake Maher, a 77-yard strike to Dolphin Mitchell and a 67-yard score to Austin Deal. South also got a 69-yard scoring run from Saracco (10 carries, 91 yards) and a 35-yard touchdown scamper by Maher (10 carries, 45 yards).

“I’m really enjoying this,” Deppe said. “All that we’ve said the past couple of weeks is that we need to back up our defense since they’re doing a great job. We have a record defense so we want to back them up and we did a good job of that tonight. They made us a little nervous, but the defense did a great job of stopping them in the red zone.” Indians quarterback John Carnagio was 25 of 45 for 368 yards and two touchdowns. He tossed a 71-yard scoring strike to Isaiah Hill (four catches, 91 yards) and a 30-yard score to Joshua Garcia (eight catches, 88 yards). Jaccor Blakney (10

MINOOKA – After allowing nearly 500 yards of offense and giving up more points than it had in the last four games, clutch defensive play doesn’t necessarily come to mind. But Plainfield South definitely relied on its vaunted defense to help it edge Minooka, 34-27, in Friday’s Southwest Prairie Conference clash between Ridge Road rivals. The Cougars yielded two touchdowns in the Indians’ initial nine plays but then only allowed two more scores during the next 10 series, stopping Minooka threats on five of the final seven possessions, all of which reached inside South’s 30-yard line. Minooka reached South’s 1-yard line in the final minute before losing the ball on downs as the Cougars boosted their playoff hopes by claiming a fourth straight win in the series. “The scoreboard is not a telling story as far as defensively how well we did things,” South coach Ken Bublitz said. “Having said that, you have to give coach [Paul] Forsythe and Minooka a ton of credit. They came out with a great game plan and executed it well and gave us fits. They played with confidence and answered the bell all night long. “We made some big plays to help our squad win. But our ability to get stops with our backs to the wall was absolutely critical and the last series was indicative of that. Our ability defensively was without question the backbone of our game.” Minooka (4-3, 2-3) collected

carries, 97 yards) scored on a 73-yard run and Mike Malinowski added a 7-yard touchdown. South’s Eric Johnson had nine tackles, including three sacks. Also, Mitchell Ganassin (six tackles) blocked a 25yard field goal try, Tyler Jensen (six tackles) intercepted a pass at his 16 midway through the final quarter and Jake Portz also had six stops for the Cougars. “I’m really proud of how my defense operates,” Johnson said. “That’s one of our key factors. When we need to step it up, you can count on us to get the job done. I credit how well we play to the bond on our team. We consider ourselves to be family so whenever something happens, we’re able to collectively come back together a lot faster than most teams.” Also for Minooka, Matt Brozovich recorded 10 tackles while Blake Parzych and Kenny Kirkland added six stops each. Quinton Durov caught four passes for 73 yards while Jacob Adams had three catches for 71 yards. After suffering their second straight tough loss, the Indians need to defeat Oswego East and Plainfield North in order to assure themselves of a spot in the postseason. “We had our chances, that’s for sure,” Indians coach Paul Forsythe said. “We definitely had our opportunities in the red zone and came up empty. We have to execute better when the field gets short. Each game coming up is a playoff game, that’s our mentality. We’re getting better week to week, so we’ll get ready for the next week and that’s all that we can do.”

Joliet West struggles in loss to Sandburg By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent ORLAND PARK – None of the numbers were in Joliet West’s favor on Friday, starting with the score, with Sandburg winning, 35-14. The Eagles (6-1, 5-0 in the SouthWest Suburban Blue) overwhelmed the Tigers (3-4, 1-4) in yardage (408-140) and time of possession. West also committed four turnovers. But with all that, the Tigers still have a shot at the playoffs. At least publicly, coach Jason Aubry saw that as the silver lining to the night’s effort. “We’re going to figure some

things out, have a game plan and go with it,” Aubry said. Stopping offenses that mix running and passing effectively is likely first on his list, with moving the ball a close second. Sandburg’s Pat Brucki ran for three first-half touchdowns, scoring from 3, 5 and 24 yards to boost the Eagles to a 35-point halftime lead. Jordon Woods’ 31-yard run and a 62-yard pass from Alec Fidan to wide-open Avery Verble also helped the Eagles. Freshman quarterback Jaxon Aubry, Jason’s son, couldn’t get the job done under continual pressure, but

at 35-0, the Tigers went to the run against Sandburg’s second string, and Juwaun McBee piled up 66 yards and two touchdowns on 10 second-half carries. “We ran the ball pretty decent in the second half. We’ve got some things we can build on. We’ve just got to be better,” Aubry said. “It was better we moved the ball and everything. It’s all on us and our kids know it. They’ll take the blame.” West’s two-part, two-week mission is clear: Beat Stagg next week and Lockport the following week, then wait to see if 5-4 is good enough for

the playoffs. McBee ran with brio, gaining all 54 yards on the six-play sortie that culminated in his 3-yard plunge to avert the shutout in a game where a running clock loomed for the first 14 minutes of the second half. McBee scored from the 1 to make it 35-14 with 6:32 to play. “Coach Aubry’s son has been doing a really nice job, but he’s a freshman,” Sandburg coach Dave Wierzal said. “[Alex] Tibble, he was their guy who really hurt us last year.” The Eagles raced to a 21-0 lead after 7:36 and nearly

forced a running clock by halftime. As impressive as Sandburg’s offense was, piling up 315 yards in just 17:09, its defense was even better, holding West to 31 yards, and a minus-29 aggregate on the ground. The Tigers ran 11 times in the opening half, and only five carries gained yardage. Quarterback Aubry, harried from the start, was sacked twice, fumbling the second time, and picked off while going 8 for 13 in the 6:51 that West had the ball. Sandburg controlled the sophomore game, 30-6.

Lincoln-Way West beats Thornridge for sixth win

Defense, Krohe field goals lift Lincoln-Way Central

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – Senior running back Gabe Montalvo scored three touchdowns to help Lincoln-Way West defeat SouthWest Suburban Red foe Thornridge, 54-6, Friday. Montalvo scored West’s first three touchdowns on runs of 10, 36, and 21 yards as the Warriors (6-1, 4-1) pulled out to a 20-0 lead over the Falcons (1-6, 0-5) in the first quarter. West scored 20 points in the second quarter to take a 40-0 halftime lead. Backup quarterback Cal Pohrte threw a 26yard touchdown pass to Kevin Gerardy as coach Dave Ernst worked in his second-team offense in the quarter. Starting quarterback Connor Lowman returned in the quarter to throw a 7-yard scoring pass to tight end Ben Zordani and defensive back Cameron Gavin completed the scoring by intercepting Falcons quarterback Cornell Ousley and returning it 50 yards for a touchdown.

Montalvo finished with 116 yards rushing on nine carries in one half of work. His offensive linemen – Bryan Brokop, Nathaniel Henry, Brett Bergman, Jason Lucinski, Justin Witt and tight end Zordani – blew open huge holes for Montalvo to run through. “I’d like to say that we have one of the best lines in the state,” Montalvo said. “They make my job easier. I paid attention to my blocks. I had huge lanes to run through, and the wide receivers were making their blocks in the secondary so it was easy to get through.” Ernst agreed with Montalvo’s assessment of the offensive line. “Our offensive line is outstanding,” Ernst said. “We have two three-year starters in Brokop and Witt, and we have Nate Henry starting as a junior and he’s already getting a lot of Division I attention from Purdue and Missouri. “Jason Lucinski, the center, made a couple of great blocks today. Brett Bergman,

the left guard, has been fantastic. A lot of people see the big three [Brokop, Witt and Henry], but those two other guys are playing really, really well.” The Warriors’ first-half scoring drives all started inside Thornridge territory thanks to a tough West defense. Linebackers Trey Telez and Danny Allen recorded sacks while defensive backs Cody Conry and Scott Phillips added interceptions. The Warriors held the Falcons to 93 yards of offense. Meanwhile, West rushed for 229 yards and passed for 79. The Warriors are safely in the playoffs by notching their sixth win. They finish with two tough SWS Red opponents, Bradley-Bourbonnais and Lincoln-Way North. “We have to protect the ball and not turn it over,” Ernst said. “We can’t give up big plays. We have to keep doing the things we’re doing in the kicking game. From here on out, it’s going to be tough.”

By LARRY LINDHOLM Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – A stingy defense and the leg of Brock Krohe keyed Lincoln-Way Central’s 17-7 SouthWest Suburban Red victory Friday night over Andrew. The Knights (4-3, 3-2), winners of three straight, held the Thunderbolts (2-5, 1-4) scoreless until 2 minutes 34 seconds remained, when a 20-yard screen pass for a touchdown sliced Central’s lead to 14-7. Krohe, who kicked field goals of 34 and 28 yards in the first half to provide the Knights with a 6-0 halftime lead, added a 25-yarder as time wound down to account for the final score. “I will take a 6-0 or 3-0 win,” Central coach Jeremy Cordell said. “Give credit to Brock Krohe. He was on target tonight. But our main objective is to score touchdowns. What this team needs to work on is finishing drives with the ball crossing into the end zone. “We as a team are getting better. This is still something that we need to keep working on and improving.” Both offenses were hurt by turnovers. Central defensive

back Trey Lyons intercepted a pass deep in Knights’ territory and returned it to the 35-yard line to thwart a first-quarter threat. Andrew also turned the ball over in the third and fourth quarters. The fourth quarter began with Central still nursing the 6-0 lead. “Our defense never gave up or gave in,” Cordell said. “I was pleased that when their backs were against the wall on their drives, they would respond with an interception or a big sack.” The Knights’ offense came up big in the fourth quarter when Nico Muto broke a 75yard run to the Andrew 7. Muto scored a couple of plays later, with 4:39 left, to make it 14-0 after a successful twopoint conversion. Muto finished with 117 yards on eight carries, all in the second half, after concentrating his efforts on defense in the first half. “He responded well,” Cordell said. “He runs hard and is difficult to tackle. He will play where the team needs him.” The Knights still must face two of the top teams in SouthWest Suburban Red, Lincoln-Way North and Thornton, and must beat one to quality for the playoffs.

FOOTBALL: LOCKPORT 49, STAGG 26

Lockport pulls away to beat Stagg By JEFF DeGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent LOCKPORT – In a game where defense wasn’t much of a factor, Lockport’s defense came through. With the Porters clinging to a 35-26 lead, Michael Zapotoczny intercepted Stagg’s Joe Van Nieuwenhuyse at his 8-yard line. Lockport scored two late fourth-quarter touchdowns to get a 49-26 SouthWest Suburban Blue victory. “I saw the receiver come into my zone, I read the play and made a break on the ball,” Zapotoczny said. “It was an opportunity I had to take at that

time. We have had a bad habit of not finishing games this season, and that wasn’t going to happen tonight.” The Porters (2-5, 2-3) gained 243 total yards in the first half and led 28-20 at the break. The teams combined for eight firsthalf plays that covered 21 yards or more. The game ended with 13 such plays. The Chargers (1-6, 0-5) opened the third quarter with a four-play drive that covered 70 yards and cut the lead to 28-26. Lockport responded with a 13-play drive as running back Matt Skobel scored from a yard out for a 35-26 lead. The Porters ran only one

offensive play, an interception by quarterback Ben Davis, after Skobel scored until the Zapotoczny interception. Stagg controlled the ball for more than 10 minutes during that span. The Chargers ran 19 plays and also recovered a Lockport fumble on a punt, but could not score. After the Zapotoczny interception, Skobel ran for 20 yards, then broke through the middle and rambled 72 yards to paydirt. Skobel also had a touchdown run of 44 yards in the first half and ended with 231 yards on 15 carries. “Tonight was all our offensive line,” Skobel said. “All

FOOTBALL: HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 28, LINCOLN-WAY EAST 3

Miscues costly to Lincoln-Way East in loss to Homewood-Flossmoor By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent FLOSSMOOR – Trailing 7-3 with four minutes left in the first half of Friday’s Southwest Suburban Blue showdown with No. 1 Homewood-Flossmoor, Lincoln-Way East had a first down at the Vikings’ 22-yard line. Running back Liam Morrissey (11 carries 73 yards) had just had a 9-yard blast for a first down. On the next play, disaster struck the Griffins. Quarterback Brandon Bauer (13 carries, 71 yards) was separated from the ball on a bone-crunching hit. The Vikings’ Justin Small scooped up Bauer’s fumble and raced 65 yards for a touchdown and a 14-3 lead. H-F’s ensuing kickoff was a pop up that the Griffins failed to catch, and H-F got the ball at the 33. A minute later, Vikings running back Devonte Harley-Hampton (18 carries, 136 yards, two touchdowns), scored from 2 yards out for a 21-3 halftime lead, and H-F went on to a 28-3 victory. “Against a great team like Homewood-Flossmoor, we could not afford to make the mistakes we made and get

out of here with a victory,” Lincoln-Way East coach Rob Zvonar said. “The ball is the most important part of a football game. When one fails to protect the ball, one loses the game. That’s what happened tonight.” H-F (7-0, 5-0) took the opening kickoff and scored with 10:30 left in the first quarter on a 21yard strike from Bryce Gray (12 of 18 passing for 224 yards) to Kendric Pryor (five catches,133 yards). The Griffins answered with a 37-yard field goal by Nick Jenig with 5:43 left in first quarter. The second half featured the East defense. Led by defensive linemen Ben Christensen and Dan Cooper, free safety Jayison McCorkle and linebacker Pat Carr, the Griffins shut down the explosive Vikings’ offense. With 4:59 in the third quarter, Christensen and the Griffins’ defense stuffed Deante Harley-Hampton (12 carries, 29 yards) for a 4-yard loss on a fourth-and-goal, from the 1-foot line. “We really played poorly on both sides of the ball,” Christensen said. “We made too many mistakes.” With 10 minutes left, McCorkle, who had a fumble recovery in the first half, blocked a

field goal attempt. Carr scooped up the ball and raced 56 yards to the Vikings’ 21-yard line. But again, disaster struck. Bauer (11 for 16 passing, 82 yards) hit Logan Winkler at the 18, but Winkler was hit hard and fumbled to snuff out the final East threat. “This was a tough loss. One play turned the game around,” McCorkle said. “One breakdown and just too many mistakes.” With 7:03 left, Devonte Harley-Hampton concluded the scoring with a 73-yard run. “This was a really tough loss,” Cooper said. “H-F is just so good that you can stop them all night and then one play and they’re gone.” H-F shares the SouthWest Suburban Blue penthouse with Sandburg. The two will meet Friday in Orland Park. For Lincoln-Way East (5-2, 4-1) rebounding Saturday at Joliet Central is the plan. “Offensively we moved the ball but just couldn’t finish our drives,” Zvonar said. “I was really proud of the job we did in slowing down the H-F ground game. Ben (Christensen), Dan (Cooper) and Pat (Carr) had fine games. Jayison McCorkle gave everything he could and was all over the field.”

I had to do was get the ball, you could have driven a truck through those gaps. We finally played a whole game of hard contact football. We had a great week of practice. This team keeps working, and this gives us momentum going into the final two weeks of the season.” Porters quarterback Davis was 13 of 17 for 179 yards and two touchdowns. He also had one rushing touchdown. He was 8 of 11 in the first half for 143 yards and collected all of his touchdowns, passing and rushing, to help build the 28-20 lead at the half. “I have so much more confidence now than earlier in

the season,” Davis said. “Getting all the reps these last two weeks has really helped. I feel so comfortable with everything.” With the Porters up, 41-26, with 4:29 remaining, Deiondre Taylor intercepted Van Nieuwenhuyse and returned it 50 yards for the final tally. Playing both ways, Taylor had seven receptions for 80 yards along with a receiving touchdown in the first half. Senior wide receiver Collin Van Lonkhuyzen added five catches for 81 yards and a touchdown, and running back Sheldon Snapp chipped in 76 yards on 12 carries. 15/16 SEASON

FOOTBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 56, ROMEOVILLE 7

By SCOTT EHLING Shaw Media correspondent

John Patsch for Shaw Media

Plainfield North’s Dillon McCarthy escapes Romeoville’s Noah Smith for a touchdown Friday at Romeoville High School. Plainfield North beat Romeoville, 56-7. linebacker JJ Frey had a 2-yard interception return for a touchdown. On special teams, in addition to Baggett’s kickoff return, Dillon McCarthy had a 50-yard punt return for a touchdown. Quarterback Anthony Kitchens led the Spartans (10

of 25 passes, 136 yards, touchdown). “I am so proud of our kids,” Kane said. “We knew that it was a dangerous situation, but our kids really focused mentally and played well physically, so it was a good win.” After Baggett’s open-

ing-kickoff heroics, the Tigers’ defense made an early statement, forcing a three-and-out by sacking Kitchens twice. On the first play of the Tigers’ next possession, Ekowa connected with Nicholas Capezio for a 45-yard touchdown that extended North’s lead to

FOOTBALL: OSWEGO EAST 48, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 21

Oswego East keeps playoff hopes alive, beats Plainfield Central By KEVIN RYAN Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – Coming into its Week 7 matchup against Southwest Prairie foe Plainfield Central, Oswego East knew it was a must-win game in order to stay in the playoff hunt. And the Wolves took care of business, beating the Wildcats, 48-21, to keep their playoff hopes alive. “For us, it’s win or go home,” Oswego East coach Tyson LeBlanc said. “We have to get to 6-3 overall because

we won’t have enough playoff points at 5-4.” After stumbling on its first offensive series, East made a change at the quarterback spot, giving Jackson Piatek (18 for 27 passing, 273 yards) control of the offense. With Piatek leading the way, the Wolves went on to score on their next four offensive possessions. “We knew we were going to rotate quarterbacks,” LeBlanc said. “Jackson has done a great job at preparing, and obviously he came out and played a heck of a game.”

Piatek’s first drive ended with a 12-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Kijana Caldwell. After a Central punt, Devin Riley (six carries, 85 yards) lined up at quarterback in the “wildcat” formation and scored from 8 yards out. On the Wolves’ next two possessions, Piatek scored on a 1-yard run, and he also connected with Tyler Allison (four receptions, 131 yards) to make it 28-0 at the half. East’s defense also dominated in the first half as it

allowed only 50 total yards of offense to the Wildcats. “That’s what we expect from are defense every week,” LeBlanc said. “We’ve hung our hat on our defense this year, and they’ve stepped up most of the time.” After an 11-yard touchdown run by Riley put the Wolves (43, 2-3) in front 35-0, the Wildcats (0-7, 0-5) were able to find their way into the end zone in the third quarter. Quarterback Cameron Cercone (9 of 22 passing, 110 yards) hit wide receiver Justin Mon-

talto (two receptions, 52 yards) for a 45-yard touchdown. On Central’s next drive, Cercone targeted Adam Hayes for a 9-yard touchdown to make it 35-14. The Wolves, however, continued to score as Piatek threw a 9-yard touchdown to Riley, and later Riley had a 65-yard run for his fourth touchdown. “I give East credit. They didn’t make mistakes or hurt themselves,” Central coach John Jackson said after the Wolves handed the Wildcats their 27th consecutive loss.

ROMEOVILLE – Beware of the trap game. Heading into its game against Romeoville, that could have easily been the message Plainfield North coach Tim Kane relayed to his players with a showdown against conference-leading Oswego on the horizon. Any concerns for the Tigers overlooking the Spartans lasted about 10 seconds Friday as junior Carlos Baggett returned the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown. “I saw the opening and my team had it blocked, and then I went through,” Baggett said. “It felt great to start the game like that and set the tone.” Plainfield North jumped to a 35-0 first quarter lead, extended it to 56-7 at half and never looked back en route to a 56-7 victory over Southwest Prairie foe Romeoville. The Tigers (5-2, 4-1) scored in all three phases. North’s defense forced three turnovers, had five quarterback sacks and allowed Romeoville 77 total yards of offense. Offensively, the Tigers were led by junior running back Tyler Hoosman (five rushes, 57 yards, two touchdowns) and senior quarterback JD Ekowa (4 of 7 passes, 85 yards, two touchdowns, four rushes, 47 yards, touchdown). Defensive end Zachary Shelton had three sacks and

14-0 with 10:01 left in the first quarter. “We knew coming into the game that we had a good chance of beating them [Romeoville] and we wanted to make a statement to them and whoever else was watching,” Ekowa said. Hoosman’s 5-yard touchdown run made it 21-0 with 8:55 left in the opening quarter. On the next North possession, Ekowa found Kimo Burton alone in the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown that extended the lead to 28-0 with 3:22 left in the first quarter. “When our offense scores, it picks up the defense, and when they force a three-andout, it picks us up on offense,” Ekowa said. “We feed off each other.” After another three-andout for Romeoville, Hoosman scored on a 34-yard run for his second of the game and a 35-0 lead with 1:31 left in the first quarter. Romeoville (1-6, 1-4) had little success on the ground against the bigger Tigers’ defensive line. Kitchens connected with wideout Bradley Gabreicik for a 47-yard touchdown to make it 35-7 for the lone Spartans’ highlight. Next week, North hosts Oswego with first place in the SPC on the line. “We should have a great week of practice with our kids knowing what is at stake,” Kane said. “We’re going to line up and get after it.”

FOOTBALL: OSWEGO 28, PLAINFIELD EAST 7

Plainfield East puts up fight vs. Oswego By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@shawmedia.com OSWEGO – While coaches would like to see a more disciplined team on the field by Week 7, mistakes and costly penalties continued to hinder the Plainfield East football team after a strong start Friday at Oswego. The Bengals were able to answer Oswego’s first score, and Plainfield East trailed, 14-7, at intermission But the Panthers quickly took control in the second half en route to a 28-7 Southwest Prairie victory. Oswego (6-1, 5-0) clinched a playoff bid. After a 21-yard touchdown pass from Oswego quarterback Steven Frank to Carter Turnquist, East’s second drive of the game stalled after two penalties and an incomplete pass. Oswego fumbled the ensuing punt, however, and the Bengals (2-5, 2-3) recovered at the Oswego 39. On the first play from scrimmage, East quarterback Matt Mazurkiewicz connected with Jalen Hutt for the touchdown, and Kyle Hassert’s extra point tied the game, 7-7, with 25 seconds left in the first quarter. “We had a great game plan and the kids executed well in the first half. We left a few

2:41 to play in the first half, as Frank threw a 26-yard pass to Brice Robinson to lead, 14-7. Oswego took the kickoff to start the second half and put together an eight-play, 88-yard drive highlighted by a 43-yard run by Eric Vargas Jr. Brennan Burdo caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Burdo. The Panthers’ defense held firm and stopped the Bengals again, as East drove to the Oswego 25. Mazurkiewicz was intercepted on the 3-yard line to end East’s best drive of the half with 6.3 seconds left in the third quarter. Oswego added its final score on a 60yard drive that ended with a 3-yard dash by fullback Chad Marsh with 2:10 to play. Mazurkiewicz finished 8 of 27 for 112 yards with one TD and one interception. Frank was 10 for 18 for 125 yards and three TDs. East (2-5, 2-3) will close its season with two SPC opponents, Romeoville (1-6) and Plainfield Central (0-7. “We’ve got two really winnable games coming down Steven Buyansky for Shaw Media and hopefully end the season Plainfield East running back Jeremy Reitz (7) runs into Oswego defender Dylan Bielawski (left) on Friday 4-5,” Romeli said. “We knew this was a big game.

FOOTBALL: MANTENO 34, COAL CITY 6

Manteno offense wears Coal City down for victory By MARK JOHNSON Shaw Media Correspondent

COAL CITY – A Manteno offense that averaged nearly 45 points through six weeks wore Coal City down Friday night, scoring 27 unanswered points in a 34-6 victory. With the win, Manteno (70, 5-0) clinched the outright Interstate Eight Large championship. Coal City (4-3, 3-2) finishes third in the division. The opening drive resulted in a Manteno touchdown on a 2-yard quarterback draw by Gavin Zimbelman. But the Panthers failed to score on

their next two drives, and Joe Starkey’s 17-yard touchdown run with 2:17 left in the second quarter drew the Coalers within 7-6 when the extra point missed. “I got knocked out at first,” said Starkey, who was hit hard near the line of scrimmage on his run. “I just saw ’em clearing, and I went to the end zone. I saw Brad Littleton make a big block on the corner, and I took it to the house.” It appeared then that the teams – who had played three straight games decided by one point before Friday – were headed for another close

game. That appearance changed in a hurry. Zimbelman completed passes of 30 and 48 yards before hitting Brian Steele for an 11-yard touchdown during the Panthers’ final drive of the first half. Zimbelman was just getting warmed up, as he had three more touchdowns in the second half, connecting with Sean Schmidt for a 17-yard score, Steele for a 10yard touchdown and Travelle Calvin for a 4-yard dagger. From that final first-half drive on, Zimbelman went 22 for 30 for 271 yards. At one point, he completed 14 consec-

utive passes. “We just didn’t make plays. At times, our DBs were there. Put a hand up, make a play. We had to make some plays when we were in position to,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said. “They’re good. They’ve got a good group right now. I’m watching them on film and sometimes it’s boom-boomboom – a big play for a touchdown here, a special-teams touchdown there. “It was they had more horses today than we had. That’s all it is. They had more.” Coal City’s second-half drives resulted in two three-

and-outs, a turnover on downs, an interception and a lost fumble as it possessed the ball for less than eight minutes. The Coalers gained only two first downs in the second half after totaling 12 in the first half. “Our offense needed to be on the field a lot more,” Starkey said. “Our defense just gets too tired when our offense isn’t out there. We just got to come out harder, that’s the biggest thing. We just got to come out harder and finish drives and finish the ballgame, and that’s what we gotta learn here.”

Lewis won in 3 sets at Neil Carey Arena in Romeoville. to clean up a little bit on our side. “Surprisingly, we’re extremely young and there’s a lot of new people on the court from last year to this year so I’m hoping that in every game that’s tight like this that they are learning. I keep throwing different lineups and different players in and I don’t think that we’ve been consistent more than one or two matches in a row, so it’s not like I’m making their life easy.” The Flyers opened up a two-

match advantage in the GLVC East standings over McKendree after improving to 9-0 in league play while Bellarmine fell to 7-12 and 2-7 in the division. But the records and rankings didn’t mean much throughout most of the match as the upstart Knights gave the Flyers a run for their money in each of the three sets. Lewis had to overcome a 13-10 deficit in the opener and trailed 13-11 in the middle set. In the finale, the Flyers opened

which makes everything so much easier. We have so much room to get better, which makes me more excited for the postseason.” The Flyers recorded 10 aces, something that they had done only one other time this year. Maddie Seliga collected four of those and also added eight kills and 12 digs. Plainfield Central graduate Elizabeth Hyland chipped in with eight kills and nine digs, Aly Schneider had seven kills, McKenna Pierson handed out 16 assists and had six digs, Abby Becker added 15 assists and six digs and Nicole Yuede had three aces and eight digs. “It’s been a great season so far and we’ve been working real hard,” Seliga said. “Our win record is awesome but we still have a ton of room to improve. There’s a lot of potential on our team and I think if we keep working hard, the season will go the way we want it to. “With each win we’ve learned a lot and we take things from each game and try to improve on them during the next week in practice. This really is a brand new team and we’ve kind of been learning to play each other and getting to know each other on and off the court. What I love the most is the spirit of this team and our drive to win and to get better every day.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ST. FRANCIS 25, ST. AMBROSE 10

USF hands St. Ambrose first loss SUBMITTED REPORT

DAVENPORT, Iowa – In a matchup of nationally-ranked Mid-States Football Association Midwest League rivals, No. 22 University of St. Francis forced eight turnovers en route to a 25-10 win over No. 23 St. Ambrose University Saturday. With its fifth consecutive victory, USF improved to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in MSFA Midwest League play while St. Ambrose (4-1, 1-1) suffered its first defeat. The Saints

remained undefeated in four road games. USF’s defense, which entered the game with the second-most takeaways in the NAIA, took the ball away from St. Ambrose six times with five interceptions and a fumble recovery. The Bees had turned the ball over on only six occasions in their four previous affairs. After St. Ambrose opened the scoring with a field goal in the final minute of the first quarter, Eli Spann returned the ensuing kickoff 93 yards

for a touchdown. Spann’s kick return was the longest in USF history, surpassing the record of 88 established by Elliot Allen in 2010. St. Ambrose’s Patrick Smith connected with Isaiah Mosher on a 70-yard touchdown pass. Six plays into its next possession, USF scored on a 53-yard strike from quarterback Don Butkus to wideout Dantrell Wright to make it 12-10 in with 12:39 to go in the first half. USF scored again late in the second quarter when

Butkus and senior running back John Magee hooked up on a 5-yard touchdown pass to cap a 10-play, 67-yard drive at the 3:46 mark of the second quarter. Magee also rushed for 116 yards on 27 carries. The Saints scored the only points of the second half on a 66-yard option pass from Wright to wideout Sheldon Magee midway through the third quarter. Sheldon Magee finished with 119 yards on four catches. Saints Linebacker Jamal Graham made 12 tackles to go

along with an interception, fumble recovery, sack and two pass breakups. Defensive end Tim Smith recorded a pair of sacks – two of USF’s eight for the game – and an interception. USF outgained the Bees 403 to 345 and held nearly a 12-minute edge in time of possession. Butkus was 13 of 23 for 169 yards. USF’s five-game winning streak is its longest in four years under coach Joe Curry and its longest since it won six in a row in 2011.

ROMEOVILLE – Considering that she has such a young squad this year, Lewis University women’s volleyball coach Lorelee Smith didn’t expect to see her team get off to an 18-1 start, which includes 17-straight wins, and a No. 21 ranking in NCAA Division II. But now that the Flyers have accomplished that, the veteran coach expects to see the level of performance rise along with that impressive record and the accompanying recognition. That’s why Smith was a little disappointed after her team added to its long winning streak on Saturday but didn’t look particularly sharp in their 25-20, 25-22, 25-20 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over Bellarmine University at Neil Carey Arena. “This team is fun to coach and the players work really hard and pay attention,” Smith said. “But as we win more and more, I expect more and more. With every win that we get, people want to beat us even more as our record gets more impressive. Teams want to beat you so bad that they’re going to fight really hard. So when you put yourself at that level, you better be ready to fight equally hard. So we need

up 9-2 and 17-12 leads but things were still tied as late as 18-18 before the hosts were finally able to put an end to the drama. Lockport graduate Alexis Davito had a team-high nine kills and no hitting errors to give her a .474 attack percentage and she also served up two aces. In a five-set thriller against UW-Parkside on Tuesday, Davito became just the seventh Flyer to reach 1,000 career kills in the rally scoring era. In a four-set win over Southern Indiana on Friday, she had four aces to become Lewis’s leader in rally scoring era aces with 139. “Coming into this year I think that we had the potential to be great but I didn’t know how well it was going to be when we all came together,” Davito said. “So far as a team, no matter who’s playing, we’ve been able to find a way to win and that’s awesome to see because we have a lot of younger girls. Overall, the chemistry on the court has been awesome. “Some times teams struggle when they’re young because people don’t know how to play together. I think we’re different because we’re not only close on the court but also close off the court. The chemistry just seems natural to us,

BOYS SOCCER: JOLIET WEST 4, LOCKPORT 2

Joliet West beats Lockport for share of title By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Even though things didn’t start out as well as anticipated, Joliet West boys soccer coach Patrick Korthauer was confident his team would put things together as the season progressed. After watching his team win nine of their past 12 matches and clinch at least a share of the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue title Saturday, the Tigers coach was happy to see that his optimism was warranted. In a matchup against twotime defending league champion Lockport, West took an early lead before the Porters rallied to tie it before to the break. But as time was winding down, captain Elber Haro scored twice in the final 12 minutes to lift the Tigers to a 4-2 win. “The guys came through and this shows our growth as a group this season,” Korthauer said. “If we had this situation early on in the season, I think we would have folded and their third goal would have come before halftime. But it shows their

“Seven or eight games into the season, we had four or five losses and things were not looking good. But I definitely had confidence in this group that they could overcome it, and they have by beating some good teams. It’s coincided since I’ve been here, but it truly has nothing to do with me. These players and this senior group have really come through.” Patrick Korthauer Joliet West coach

strength and resolves. Faced with adversity, they can step up to the plate. “Seven or eight games into the season, we had four or five losses and things were not looking good. But I definitely had confidence in this group that they could overcome it, and they have by beating some good teams. It’s coincided since I’ve been here, but it truly has nothing to do with me. These players and this senior group have really come through.” Heading into Saturday’s play, six teams were within a half-game of one another for first place in the SWSC Blue.

While two other teams might wind up earning a piece of the title, the Tigers (12-7-1, 4-2) aren’t going to complain about sharing. “There was really good competition this year and everyone had an even chance, unlike last year when Lockport was the dominant team,” Tigers captain Ivan Lopez said. “We’ve had to try people at new positions, so I think our team has done really well. I love the passion that our players have. A lot of good things have happened and we hope to progress from this.” Shortly after West keeper

Carlos Urbano stopped a liner from Jack Dilger and another attempt from Tommy Calderaro, the Tigers moved in front for good when Haro looped a try over keeper Jakub Krawczyk’s head in the 69th minute to make it 3-2. Then in the 75th minute, Haro sent in a liner that also found the net to cap his team’s victory. “When the 2-0 lead slipped away, we stayed with it and kept fighting,” Haro said. “We knew what we wanted and got the W. This was the first time that we beat Lockport here and the first time we won conference, so it feels good. This was our goal and dream since freshman year. When we had that stretch of five straight losses, we got even more united. We stayed positive and kept fighting. We see each other as family and that’s why we’ve bounced back.” West went up, 1-0, in the seventh minute when Ivan Armenta sent a pass to Michael Vallejo, who connected. Then in the 23rd minute, Haro placed a corner kick in front and Tim Spesia flicked in an attempt to give the Ti-

gers a 2-0 lead. “This feels pretty good,” Tigers captain Jayson Graves said. “We tried to leave it all on the field since this was our last game in conference. We just had to find the right cohesion and move players to different positions. I like how we’re so close and how we’re almost like a family and that has allowed us to progress together.” The Porters (8-7-3, 2-3) finally scored in the 35th minute when David Villa sent a corner kick in front to Jose Magallanes, who headed one just inside the post. They found the net again in the 39th minute after Villa followed up on a corner kick that was punched away by firing in a shot that sailed over the keeper’s head. “Making mistakes and not finishing when you need to are going to cost you games,” Porters coach Chris Beal said. “It’s a fine line this year. The last two years, we won conference without conceding a game, but no one had that consistency. This game was up and down, and it almost mirrored how the season has gone and how the conference has gone.”

NLDS GAME 2: CUBS 6, CARDINALS 3

By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press

• Sunday, October 11, 2015

ST. LOUIS – For one inning, Jorge Soler and all those Cubs rookies looked like playoff-tested veterans and the St. Louis Cardinals appeared shaken. That’s all it took. Kyle Hendricks and Addison Russell had successful squeeze bunts and Soler capped a five-run second with a two-run homer off Jaime Garcia, and the Cubs held off the Cardinals, 6-3, on Saturday night to even their NL Division Series at a game apiece. “Listen, I can’t be more proud of our guys,” manager Joe Maddon said. “When you win a wild-card game like we did, I promise you, you settle in. We didn’t win yesterday, but we were not overwhelmed by anything.” Maddon made all the right moves a night after the Cubs lost the opener, 4-0. Now the teams shift to Wrigley Field for Game 3 Monday, the first playoff game at the friendly confines since 2008, where the Cubs’ 22-game winner Jake Arrieta faces St. Louis’ Michael Wacha in the best-of-five series. “Getting back there 1-1 with our big dog on the mound, the atmosphere is going to be good,” Anthony Rizzo said. The usually steady NL Central champion Cardinals made two errors as the Cubs didn’t hit the ball out of the infield in scoring their first three runs in the second. “It is hard to watch a club that’s played so well defensively, see a couple things happen that are kind of uncharacteristic for us,” manager Mike Matheny said. Making his first postseason start, Soler connected off Garcia (0-1), who was lifted because of a stomach ailment after the second. The Cubs have been working Soler back into the mix after he returned from a left oblique strain in mid-September. “All I was trying to do was help the team win,” Soler said through a translator. “He got a ball up where I could hit it hard.” Garcia told the team he felt

Soler also doubled and walked twice in the Cubs’ first postseason victory since 2003. The Cubs had lost seven straight Division Series games. The Cardinals homered three times, including a leadoff long ball by Matt Carpenter. Consecutive shots by Kolten Wong and pinch-hitter Randal Grichuk with two outs in the fifth chased Hendricks one out shy of qualifying for the victory in his postseason

debut. Travis Wood (1-0) allowed one hit with two strikeouts in 2 1⁄3 scoreless innings for the victory. Hector Rondon, briefly stuck in the bullpen bathroom during Game 1, earned his first career postseason save. “That’s really funny for me right now,” Rondon said with a laugh. Although none of the runs were earned in the second, Garcia’s first postseason start since 2012 was a disaster. The Cubs capitalized when Garcia blew a play on a safety squeeze by Hendricks. The pitcher hesitated instead of throwing home with a very good chance of cutting down the run, then made a wild, flat-footed throw to first for an error. “I didn’t even see it,” Hendricks said. “I put my head down and started running.” Russell, the next batter, squeezed in another run, and Dexter Fowler had an RBI infield hit before Soler drove a

high 2-2 pitch over the center field wall. “Everything has to be set up properly for that,” Maddon said. “It just was.” The inning also was aided by an ill-advised, off-target relay to first for a throwing error by second baseman Kolten Wong trying for a double play. Lance Lynn, the presumptive Game 4 starter, replaced Garcia in the third as the first in a parade of relievers. Matheny said there are “options” for Game 4, with Lynn or lefty Tyler Lyons as possibilities. Two-time 20-game winner Adam Wainwright, coming off a torn left Achilles in late April, fanned three in 12⁄3 scoreless innings, his fourth appearance since being injured and first of more than an inning. Hendricks allowed three homers in 42⁄3 innings. He had 17 no-decisions in the regular season, most in the majors.

SERIOUS SLUMP

Kris Bryant went 0 for 4, with three groundouts and a strike out. He is 3 for 34 with no RBIs in his last nine games.

NO. 22 IOWA 29, ILLINOIS 20

Hawkeyes hold off Illini By LUKE MEREDITH The Associated Press IOWA CITY, Iowa – With its unbeaten season in peril, Iowa put the ball in Jordan Canzeri’s hands. Canzeri delivered with one of the best days a Hawkeye has ever had, helping his team hold off a furious challenge from Illinois. Canzeri ran for 256 yards on a school-record 43 carries – including 11 straight on a crucial fourth-quarter drive – and No. 22 Iowa beat Illini, 29-20, on Saturday for its sixth straight win. “I thought what he did was really special,” said coach Kirk Ferentz, who is 6-0 for just the second time in 17 seasons at Iowa. “Certainly in the fourth quarter. That was just a special effort.” C.J. Beathard had 200 yards passing and two TDs for the Hawkeyes (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten). They’ve already taken down four Power Five opponents heading into next week’s West division game against No. 13 Northwestern. Canzeri’s 75-yard touchdown run put Iowa ahead, 2313, late in the third quarter. Geronimo Allison pulled Illinois back within three on a 53-yard TD reception, but freshman Ke’Shawn Vaughn’s fumble with 3:09 left doomed

Illinois receiver Geronimo Allison reaches for a pass over Iowa defensive back Jordan Lomax Saturday during the first half in Iowa City, Iowa. the Illini. Wes Lunt threw for 317 yards and a touchdown and Allison had 148 yards receiving for Illinois (4-2, 1-1). “Sometimes we’re going to have a little bit of stage fright at times because it’s a big stage, but you look at Wes and Geronimo and what they did out there,” interim Illinois coach Bill Cubit said. “Defensively, I saw a lot of good things from those guys.” Canzeri gave the reeling Hawks some breathing room with the longest run of his career. Canzeri cut back, hit a hole and went essentially untouched to put Iowa back in front, 23-13.

Allison, who was picked off on a double-reverse pass earlier in the second half, took it away with his long TD grab with 10:13 left. But Iowa responded by handing off to Canzeri nearly a dozen times, setting up Marshall Koehn’s 34-yard field goal and a 26-20 lead with 3:20 left. “It was just the adrenaline going. I knew I needed to do something for my team, just needed to fight and continue to push and make those plays,” said Canzeri, whose 256 yards were the third-most in Iowa history. Illinois had won twice already in 2015 with fourth-quarter comebacks.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame running back C.J. Prosise made Navy pay for its turnovers. Prosise scored one play after linebacker Jaylon Smith recovered a fumble by Chris Swain on the Navy 7 and two plays after Devin Butler recovered a fumble by Dishan Romine at the 26-yard line on the opening kickoff of the second half. He finished with three rushing touchdowns as the 15thranked Fighting Irish beat the Midshipmen, 41-24, on Saturday. “Huge, huge,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said of the turnovers. “Those obviously meant a lot in this game.” Navy had tied the score at 21 with 24 seconds left in the first half after 253-pound fullback Quentin Ezell gashed the Irish for touchdown runs of 45 and 22 yards. But Justin Yoon kicked a 52-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the first half and Prosise

put the Irish (5-1) ahead by 10 points with a 22-yard run after the second fumble. The Midshipmen (4-1), who had won eight straight, had been tied for the lead in the nation with just one turnover before Saturday’s game. “We had some penalties, some turnovers, some missed assignments, that normally we’re pretty clean on those phases,” Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. “Against a good team like Notre Dame, that spells disaster. That’s what happened to us.” Prosise, who was held to 50 yards on 15 carries in a loss a week earlier against Clemson, scored on runs of 7, 22 and 11 yards and finished with 129 yards rushing as the Irish amassed 459 yards total offense. “It felt great getting back out there and having some big holes again,” Prosise said. “They weren’t loading the box like last week, and we just had to be able to make some plays on the perimeter, too.”

Unlike the other very good tight end the Bears faced this season (Jimmy Graham), Kelce is a big part of his team’s offense. He has 21 catches for 293 yards, averaging 14 yards a catch. He has four catches for 20 yards or more and 13 of his receptions have gone for first downs. Kelce, at 6-5, 260 pounds, is more than just a safety valve for Alex Smith. Shea McClellin has been close in coverage this season when asked to cover, but he hasn’t made a play on the ball. Adrian Amos may be asked to show what he can do in pass coverage if Kelce gets up the seam. The Bears will win if…: The pass rush rattles Alex Smith the way the Bengals’ defense got after him (10 QB hits, five sacks). The weakness on the Chiefs is their offensive line,

The Bears have to get production from the other edge rusher spot, whether it’s Sam Acho, Lamarr Houston or Willie Young. On offense, a patchwork offensive line must handle the Arrowhead Stadium noise and prevent Justin Houston and Tamba Hali from getting to Jay Cutler. Adam Gase has put together some nice game plans, and if the Bears execute, they’ll find opportunities against the other worst scoring defense in the league. The Chiefs will win if…: They protect Smith. If he has time to run Andy Reid’s offense,

the Chiefs will be able to move the ball against the Bears’ defense. Smith avoids mistakes better than most quarterbacks around the league and has three game-breakers – Charles, Kelce and Jeremy Maclin – to utilize. On defense, the Chiefs have the talent to exploit the Bears’ issues up front, they just have to actually pressure the quarterback, which they haven’t done the past two weeks. That’ll help physical corners Sean Smith and Marcus Peters, who are ball hawks and will be waiting for any Cutler mistake. Fishbain’s pick: Chiefs 30, Bears 27

Conjuring 2 magical nights for charity

Witch-themed Joliet events help women in need By SEAN LEARY Shaw Media correspondent

OLIET – Leave it to a group of women doing good deeds to create an event that gives witches some time off for good-natured fun. But that’s exactly what’s bubbling in the cauldron for two witch-related events for charity. After five years of scaring up fun and funds for area women’s groups with the grassroots event Witches Night Out, organizers are partnering with the Joliet Junior Woman’s Club. The club is hosting its Witches Ball. Both events will be at the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate in Joliet. Witches Night Out is Oct. 22 and the Witches Ball is Oct. 23. Both groups are helping to market each other’s event. Both events are packed with more charming features than you can shake a wand at. The best part is proceeds from both events will be donated to local charities that help women in need. “That’s the magic behind both nights,” Mihelich said. Chrissy Monaco, an organizer and chairwoman for the Joliet Junior Woman’s Club and the Witches Ball, said the organizers of Witches Night Out suggested partnering with them by hosting a fundraiser on the same weekend. “I’m really excited about it,” Monaco said. “Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays and I know a lot of women feel the same way. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.” The Junior Woman’s Club is an international organization which helps women

If you go WHAT: Witches Ball and Witches Night Out WHEN: 4 to 9:30 p.m. Oct. 22 (Witches Night Out) and 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. Oct. 23 (Witches Ball) WHERE: Jacob Henry Mansion Ballroom, 20 S. Eastern Ave., Joliet TICKETS: $20 in advance and $25 at the door for Thursday’s event; $45 for Friday’s. ETC: Witches Night Out features raffles, vendors, costume contest, DJ. Witches Ball ticket price includes heavy appetizers, one drink ticket (cash bar available) and a live band, “The Walk-ins.” VISIT: www.witchesnightout.com, www.jolietwitchesball.com, www. uwwill.org and www.jolietjuniors.org and children in need through a variety of events and outreach programs. By the same supernatural token, Witches Night Out is not only a “great girls’ night out,” it’s also a popular fundraiser for women in need, said Kathy Mihelich, co-chair of WNO, a grass-

roots outreach coordinated by women in the community. Proceeds from Witches Night Out will benefit Lamb’s Fold Women’s Center, Stepping Stones Treatment and Recovery Center, Guardian Angel Community Services and Will County Habitat for Humanity.

“Hopefully, we’ll both be able to provide a lot of great entertainment and raise a lot of money to help a lot of area women for many years to come,” Mihelich added. A news release from WNO said more than 1,250 women attended the event last year, dressed as everything from good witches to bad witches. In all, a record $28,000 was raised to help local women. The Joliet Junior Woman’s Club is hoping the Witches Ball is equally as enchanting. “This fundraiser is so important because we only do one a year, so it determines how much we have to help others,” Monaco said. The Junior Woman’s Club has an extensive history of helping others for the betterment of society, Monaco said.

“By the 1930s, club women were responsible for maintaining 80 percent of the nation’s libraries,” Monaco said. “They were integral in getting street lights installed in cities throughout the country. They helped to push legislators to place the lines in the middle of roads for safety.” As for changing Joliet for the better, the Joliet Junior Woman’s Club meets once a month to plan different service programs in the area, Monaco said. One of those programs, and the group’s only fundraiser of the year, is the Witches Ball. “We’re hoping to capture the same magic that the Witches Night Out has for the last five years,” Monaco said.

Secretary of State, State Librarian and Archivist Jesse White recently hosted “Preserving Their Memories” to honor veterans and their contributions to the Illinois Veterans’ History Project at the Illinois State Library in Springfield. The Illinois Veterans’ History Project honors Illinois veterans by documenting and preserving their experiences. White served as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army, as a member of the Illinois National Guard and a reservist. The Illinois Veterans’ History Project initiative was spearheaded by White in 2005, in

conjunction with the Library of Congress, to provide a permanent record of the names and stories of Illinois veterans. At the event, veterans could obtain an updated driver’s license/ID card with the word “VETERAN” displayed on the front. This designation helps ensure military veterans living in Illinois who have received an honorable or general under honorable conditions discharge receive necessary services and benefits for veterans.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Start as captain, end as private

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Brian O’Driscoll, an Irishman and former professional rugby union player, said, “The big upside to being captain is it’s a huge honor, but the downside is that there is definitely extra pressure.” This week, we have looked at captaincy during an auction. But, as we have seen, often the captaincy changes from one partner to the other. In today’s deal, for example, how should North plan the auction after South opens one no-trump? South has accurately described his hand, so if North were permitted only one bid to name the final contract, he would get it right most of the time. Here, North knows that game is worth attempting, but he is not sure whether it is right to play in no-trump or in spades. He starts with a two-heart transfer bid, showing five-plus spades and zero-plus points. If South rebids two spades, North continues with three no-trump, passing captaincy back to the opener. South chooses the final contract: three no-trump or four spades. Here, though, South has such a great hand for spades that he should rebid three spades, a so-called superaccept. Then North raises to four spades. How should South plan the play after West leads the heart king? As the diamonds aren’t breaking 3-3, declarer is in danger of losing one heart and three clubs. But he can avoid three club losers if he can force the opponents to lead the suit. After winning the first trick, South should draw trumps and eliminate diamonds, ruffing the fourth round in the dummy. Then he exits with dummy’s last heart. Whoever wins the trick must either open up clubs or concede a ruff-and-sluff.

Regular B12 injections counter effects of pernicious anemia Note to Readers: This column is an update of one that originally appeared in June 2012. Dear Dr. K: My new doctor recently told me I had pernicious anemia, that it had not been diagnosed by my old doctor, and that his treatments would end my symptoms. What is pernicious anemia? Dear Reader: The cause and treatment of pernicious anemia were discovered more than 80 years ago at Harvard Medical School. The discovery was honored with the Nobel Prize. Unfortunately, even today there still are people like you for whom diagnosis and treatment have been delayed. That’s because, as I explain below, it can be a tricky condition to diagnose. With pernicious anemia, vitamin B12 cannot be absorbed by the intestines. Your body needs vitamin B12 to produce healthy red blood cells. When it does not have adequate vitamin B12, your body does not produce enough red blood cells (anemia). Pernicious anemia also damages the brain, spinal cord and nerves, and can be fatal if not treated. Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks some part of the body as if it were foreign. In pernicious anemia, the immune system makes antibodies against a normal substance in the gut called intrinsic factor (IF). IF is necessary for vitamin B12 in the diet to be absorbed into the body. Symptoms of pernicious anemia tend to develop slowly and can be subtle. As the condition worsens, you may experience: • weakness and fatigue; • lightheadedness and dizziness; • palpitations and rapid heartbeat; • shortness of breath;

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • a sore tongue with a red, beefy appearance; • nausea or poor appetite; • weight loss. The nerve damage can cause: • numbness and tingling in the hands and feet; • muscle weakness; • irritability; • confusion; • depression. A simple blood test can measure vitamin B12 levels. Since other conditions can also cause low vitamin B12 levels, additional blood tests are necessary to make the diagnosis of pernicious anemia. These include antibodies against IF, gastrin and pepsinogen. Treatment involves replacing the missing vitamin B12 with regular injections of the vitamin. (Some people are able to use mega-doses of B12 in pill form, but treatment is usually by injections.) Your body will quickly produce new red blood cells, and your symptoms should begin to improve within 72 hours. Once your B12 reserves reach normal levels, you will need vitamin B12 injections every one to three months. You probably will need injections for the rest of your life to prevent symptoms from returning. I have high hopes for your recovery because pernicious anemia responds well to treatment. Before the discovery that it could be cured by vitamin B12 injections, many people died of the disease. Research at Harvard and elsewhere has made it a curable disease.

Dear Abby: My husband enjoys sitting around (among other activities) naked. We live in a subdivision with 700 homes. I have asked him repeatedly to stop, join a nudist group or go home to his mother – whatever. He says he’s sorry, blah blah blah. But it doesn’t stop happening. The deputies have already visited to tell him to stop playing his ukulele while driving, and I’m afraid he’ll get caught without a stitch on one day and all hell will break loose. –

Teresa In The South Dear Teresa: It’s one thing

Pearls Before Swine

Real Life Adventures

for a person to “let it all hang out” in the privacy of his (or her) home or fenced backyard. It’s quite another for that individual to fully expose himself in public view. If this is what has been happening, it appears you have married an exhibitionist who could be arrested for indecent exposure if a neighbor chooses to complain. Dear Abby: My daughter’s elementary school has many fundraisers each year where the children are asked to sell things such as takeout pizza coupons and cheap wrapping paper to raise money for schoolwide events. I’m happy to support the school, but do not want her to participate in the selling. She’s too little to go doorto-door or make phone calls on her own, so I end up doing it for her. I am very uncomfortable when individuals ask me to buy things. I don’t want to put that kind of pressure on other people. Also, some of the items for sale are unhealthy or not things we’d use, so it seems wrong to ask others to buy them. Instead of selling, where they only get a small portion of the funds, I’d rather donate directly to the school. However, I’m not sure how to do that without making our family stand out in this very small community. When a new fundraiser is announced, should I ask the teacher or PTA how much our share is and then write a check? I’m afraid I’d be inviting gossip about being too stuck up or wealthy to participate (we are neither). And how do I explain to my

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips 7-year-old why I don’t think she should be selling things, without seeming critical of her friends who are? – Just

Want To Donate In Iowa Dear Just: This is a concern

you should discuss with the person who is in charge of the fundraiser. If you prefer to donate the money you would be expected to raise, rather than have your child solicit door-to-door, your wishes should be respected because the result will be the same for her school. Frankly, I think you have a point. Dear Abby: My dear friend “Iris” is having her annual Halloween party. Each year I wear a costume I pull together without spending extra money. This year, I’ll be dressing as a cowgirl and I have arranged to borrow a few items for the costume. As a rule, I keep my costume a surprise and don’t ask others what they’re going to wear. By chance, Iris and I ran errands together and she wanted to pick up her husband’s costume while we were out. She chose a cowboy costume. I considered changing my costume, but then I started wondering why I should, when I already had made arrangements. Before Iris paid for the costume, I told her about mine. She put her husband’s costume back and said she’d select something else later. There was no argument, but I wonder if I was obligated to tell her. Would it have been bad if I had just gone ahead and shown up as a cowgirl without saying anything? –

Wondering In The Wild West Dear Wondering: It would only have been “bad” if Iris had planned to dress as a cowgirl to complement her husband’s costume. Personally, I think you did the right thing by being up-front.
