• Thursday, October 23, 2014

JOLIET – Details were revealed about the 2012 slaying of a gym owner outside his business when his accused killer on Wednesday asked for another bond reduction.

Kenneth G. Edwards, 46, allegedly shot Sean McGinn, 39, on Aug. 9, 2012, when McGinn arrived at the KO Zone Boxing Club, 218 E. Cass St., to meet Jermain K. Bennett, who Kenneth G. owned the gym Edwards with McGinn.

Police said Bennett, 40, had brokered a phony cocaine deal with McGinn in order to rob him.

Bennett was arrested on murder charges the next day, but has agreed to testify against Edwards in exchange for being convicted of armed robbery.

Defense attorney Doug DeBoer told Judge Edward Burmila Wedesday that Edwards and Bennett, who are cousins, exchanged text messages that night because Bennett had borrowed Edwards’ pickup truck.

“There was also a cluster of phone calls between Bennett and a third person around the time of the homicide,” DeBoer said.

DeBoer told Burmila he recently identified the third person as a local “boxer” and a search warrant was recently issued when he shared that information with appellate prosecutor Dave Neal.

Neal told Burmila the defense is presenting an alternate theory that can be argued at trial, but Bennett will identify Edwards as the shooter.

“Eyewitnesses to the shooting said [the gunman] wore a white T-shirt covering his face ... a white T-shirt was later found in a nearby garbage can with Edwards’ DNA on it,” Neal said.

Neal said the shirt is being tested for the “third person’s DNA.” Edwards was arrested in October 2013 and initially held on $5 million bond, but that has since been reduced to $1 million.

DeBoer said Edwards went to the gym that night because he worried his cousin Bennett was the victim of a shooting.

Edwards gave a voluntary statement to detectives the next day and turned himself in when the arrest warrant was issued a year later, DeBoer said while arguing for his release on a signature bond.

Burmila said he will take a week to decide whether to reduce Edwards’ bond a second time.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP News from across the state

Court-appointed monitor ordered for IDOT hiring

CHICAGO – A federal judge on Wednesday ordered a court-appointed monitor to review hiring problems at Gov. Pat Quinn’s Department of Transportation, a setback for the Democrat running for re-election largely on how he navigated Illinois away from ethical problems.

The ruling – less than two weeks before the election – followed a motion filed in April by anti-patronage campaigner Michael Shakman, who alleged that a long span of improper hiring

based on clout and connections necessitated an outside monitor and further investigation at IDOT. Quinn administration attorneys had argued neither was necessary because a state inspector general had investigated and the issues already were being addressed.

Magistrate Judge Sidney Schenkier disagreed, saying the inspector general’s work didn’t negate the “need for the court to take action.” But he didn’t grant Shakman’s request for a separate probe, explaining the court monitor sufficiently could review why issues occurred and do so transparently.

Quinn’s challenger in the Nov. 4 election, Republican businessman Bruce Rauner, immediately jumped on the ruling to say that Quinn “cannot be trusted to clean up state government.”

Quinn’s campaign rejected the criticism.

Chicago’s new Ebola response network gets first test

CHICAGO – Two travelers from Liberia were taken to hospitals after arriving at O’Hare International Airport, including a child who will be tested for Ebola “out of an abundance of caution,” in what health officials are calling an important first trial for Chicago’s new Ebola response system.

Federal and health officials emphasized there have been no confirmed Ebola cases in Chicago and there is no threat to the public. The situation unfolded during rush hour Tuesday evening, becoming a real-life drill for dozens of recently trained health care workers taking part in the city’s newly activated Ebola network that includes airport screening, hospitals and government health officials.

The city released a statement

Wednesday saying the child was improving, had a normal temperature and showed no symptoms of Ebola other than dehydration and one reported case of vomiting. The child also had no known exposure to Ebola.

Under guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, those factors wouldn’t prompt a test. But “as a result of the dehydration and out of an abundance of caution,” doctors at the University of Chicago Medical Center decided to test the child for Ebola, the statement said. The child, who reportedly vomited while traveling Tuesday, was in isolation in stable condition Wednesday.

Incoming Chicago archbishop won’t live in mansion

CHICAGO – The next archbishop of Chicago will live in the more modest rectory at

Holy Name Cathedral instead of the archdiocese’s North State Parkway mansion.

The Archdiocese of Chicago also said Wednesday that Blase Cupich would create a committee to study best uses for the historical mansion. The archdiocese said Cupich made the decision in consultation with Cardinal Francis George and several Chicago priests.

The mansion has been home to Chicago archbishops since it was built in 1885. The residence also has hosted Pope John Paul II and President Franklin Roosevelt.

Cupich is taking after Pope Francis, who chooses to live in the Vatican hotel instead of the papal apartments.

The Vatican announced last month that Cupich would succeed George, 77, who is battling cancer. He takes over Nov. 18.

This is the apartment building in Aurora, Colo., that police said is the home of two of the three teenage girls who reportedly were en route to join the Islamic State group in Syria when they were stopped at an airport in Germany.

Three teens’ travel renews concerns about terror appeal

By SADIE GURMAN The Associated Press DENVER – Three teenage girls being investigated for possibly trying to join Islamic State forces in Syria were victims of an “online predator” who encouraged them, a school official said Wednesday, as U.S. officials tried to determine how they made it to Europe without anyone knowing and whether the terrorists’ appeal is deepening among vulnerable youth.

The Denver-area girls – two sisters ages 17 and 15, and their 16-year-old friend – were detained at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany, and sent home over the weekend.

They were interviewed by the FBI and returned to their parents in suburban Aurora.

Those in the tight-knit east African community where they live said the sisters are of Somali descent and their friend is of Sudanese descent.

But the episode posed vexing questions for U.S. officials about whether they were recruited, as hundreds of other youth have been inside and outside the U.S., and

what can be done about it.

“Social media has played a very significant role in the recruitment of young people,” said FBI spokesman Kyle Loven in Minneapolis, home to the largest Somali community in the U.S. Authorities there have been concerned for years about terror recruiting of the young.

“What it indicates is we have to be really careful about people in impressionable years and what they’re doing on the Internet,” said Jim Davis, former special agent in charge of the FBI in Denver.

At least one of the girls was communicating with someone online who encouraged the three to travel to Syria, said Tustin Amole, a spokeswoman for the Cherry Creek School District where the girls attend high school.

Fellow high school students told school officials the girls had been discussing travel plans over Twitter, Amole said.

“There’s no indication they had been radicalized in a way that they wanted to fight for ISIS,” Amole said, adding the students had no prior

problems aside from unexcused absences on Friday.

A U.S. official said evidence gathered so far made it clear that the girls were headed to Syria, although the official said investigators still were trying to determine what sort of contacts they had in that country. Another U.S. official said investigators were reviewing evidence, including the girls’ computers. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation by name.

Still unknown is how the girls managed to get to Frankfurt. The U.S. government doesn’t have any restrictions on children flying alone, domestically or internationally.

Airline policies vary.

Most U.S. airlines allow children 12 and older to fly alone but often with restrictions on international flights, according to the U.S. Transportation Department.

The girls’ parents reported them missing Friday after they skipped classes. They had taken passports and $2,000 in cash.

2 dead in shooting attack at Canada Parliament

By JEREMY HAINSWORTH and ROB GILLIES The Associated Press OTTAWA, Ontario – A gunman with a scarf over his face killed a soldier standing guard at Canada’s war memorial Wednesday, then stormed Parliament in an attack that rocked the building with the boom of gunfire and forced lawmakers to barricade themselves in meeting rooms. The gunman was shot to death by the ceremonial sergeant-atarms.

Investigators offered little information about the gunman, identified as 32-yearold ex-convict Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. But Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the rampage the second deadly terrorist attack on Canadian soil in three days.

“This week’s events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of terrorist attacks we have seen elsewhere,” Harper said.

He added: “We will not be

intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated.”

Canada already was on alert at the time of the shooting rampage because of a deadly hit-and-run assault Monday against two Canadian soldiers by a man Harper described as an “ISIL-inspired terrorist.”

ISIL is also known as Islamic State.

Witnesses said the soldier posted at the National War Memorial, identified as Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, was gunned down at point-blank range just before 10 a.m. by a man carrying a rifle and dressed all in black, his face half-covered.

The gunman appeared to raise his arms in triumph, then entered Parliament, a few hundred yards away, where dozens of shots soon rang out, according to witnesses.

People fled the complex by scrambling down scaffolding erected for renovations, while others took cover inside and barricaded doors with chairs as police with rifles and body armor took up positions out-

No trick: Throughout the U.S., Halloween bumped for football

By JOHN RABY The Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. – When Halloween falls on a Friday in communities where high school football is king, it’s time to reschedule the holiday.

Communities from West Virginia to Texas are saying they’re OK with celebrating Halloween on, well, not Halloween. Football is king in many rural areas, especially in the South, and that’s a big reason. But everything from homecoming events to Bible studies can push trickor-treat night to dates other than Oct. 31.

In West Virginia, more than 50 high school football games are scheduled for Oct. 31. Rather than move the games, many communities moved Halloween. In Berkeley County in the far eastern part of the state, trick-ortreating will occur Nov. 1 because three local teams

– Hedgesville, Martinsburg and Spring Mills – have home games the previous night.

Martinsburg City Manager Mark Baldwin said police already committed to staffing football games didn’t want to be stretched thin by watching out for trick-or-treaters on the same night.

“It’s one of those things where you don’t win,” Baldwin said. “If we held it on Oct. 31, people would have said, ‘You’ve got all of Berkeley County attending football games and not being home.’”

The problem? Martinsburg and Hedgesville have their high school homecoming dances on Nov. 1. That means potentially having hundreds of students driving to dinner and the dance.

“That’s one of my concerns, texting and driving,” said Iris Benn-Miller of Martinsburg. Benn-Miller also has to figure out how to drop her high school-age son and his girlfriend off at the dance

and still take her grandchildren trick-or-treating. She said she probably won’t be home to pass out candy.

It’s less of a logistical problem for Katelyn Conaway of Martinsburg, who has two young children. But she said the thought of having Halloween in November is “kind of weird.”

“October is considered for Halloween. November is for Thanksgiving. October and Halloween are synonymous,” she said.

In Lorain County, Ohio, west of Cleveland, a group that coordinates countywide issues recommended that Halloween be moved to Oct. 30 to avoid Friday night football traffic.

“You’ve got that increased traffic at the same time you’ve got children and pedestrians walking around in the dark,” said Virginia Haynes, administrative coordinator of the Lorain County Community Alliance.

MPs’ caucus rooms. Vickers serves a largely ceremonial role at the House of Commons, carrying a scepter and wearing rich green robes, white gloves and a tall imperial hat.

At least three people were treated for minor injuries.

In Washington, President

Barack Obama condemned the shootings as “outrageous” and said: “We have to remain vigilant.”

The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa was locked down as a precaution, and security was tightened at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery just outside Washington.

Police said in the initial hours after the shootings that as many as two other gunmen may have taken part.

But as the day wore on, the cordon around Parliament was eased, employees were allowed to go home, and it appeared increasingly likely the attack was the work of one person.

Court records show a man with the same name and year of birth as the gunman was charged with robbery in Vancouver in 2011. He pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of uttering threats and was sentenced to a day in jail plus credit for the 66 days he already had served.

Doctors split on mental state of preteen suspect

By M.L. JOHNSON The Associated Press WAUKESHA, Wis. – Doctors disagree over whether the second of two 12-year-old girls charged with stabbing a classmate to please the fictional horror character Slender Man is fit to stand trial, a judge and attorneys said Wednesday.

A state psychiatrist filed a report saying he found the girl mentally capable of helping with her defense, but defense attorney Joseph Smith Jr. questioned the state doctor’s qualifications and said he had a report from another doctor who disagreed.

Both reports are sealed, and Smith didn’t offer any details except to question whether Dr. Robert Rawski had the expertise to evaluate juveniles.

“You may not be looking at the things that are most important. And while it may be a valid opinion regarding an adult, when you’re dealing

with someone who’s 12, it’s different,” Maura McMahon, another defense attorney for the girl, explained later.

Waukesha County Judge Michael Bohren set another hearing for Dec. 18 because the state’s doctor was not in court to testify Wednesday.

Prosecutors say the two girls plotted for months to kill their classmate before luring the child to a wooded park after a sleepover in Waukesha, west of Milwaukee, and stabbing her 19 times. Payton Leutner survived by crawling from the woods to a sidewalk where a bicyclist found her and called 911.

Wisconsin law requires suspects who are at least 10 years old to be charged as adults in severe crimes. Attorneys for the girls arrested in the stabbing have said they will try to get their clients’ cases moved back to juvenile court. The Associated Press is not naming the girls while their cases could be moved.

The Herald-News Editorial Board Bob Wall, Denise Baran-Unland, Hannah Kohut, Bob Okon and Kate Schott

‘Humanae Vitae’ echoes at synod “The transmission of human life is a most serious role in which married people collaborate freely and responsibly with God the Creator. It has always been a source of great joy to them, even though it sometimes entails many difficulties and hardships.”

The words of Paul VI are like the background music for the Extraordinary Synod on the Family that is wrapping up in Rome.

The opening words of the 1968 encyclical “Humanae Vitae” continue: “The fulfillment of this duty has always posed problems to the conscience of married people, but the recent course of human society and the concomitant changes have provoked new questions. The Church cannot ignore these questions, for they concern matters intimately connected with the life and happiness of human beings.”

New questions, indeed!

They abound today. Questions about the very definition of marriage; about pervasive and destructive pornography; about the ethics of assisted reproduction.

And about the effects all of these are having on how we view ourselves in relation to those closest to us.

Prophetically, “Humanae Vitae” warned that it is “cause for alarm ... that a man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez with care and affection.”

In recent decades, expectations changed as lives were ordered around the pill and abortion.

Today, birth and marriage rates are in decline.

Wounds abound. For the sake of not only Catholic families but also the health of the whole world, Pope Francis convened this synod to consider the fallout and how best to help. How to encounter people where they are and accompany them to something better – that is, set them on the self-sacrificial, radical, redeeming path of Christ. The meeting in Rome was only the beginning of an ongoing process that will include the pope’s expected visit to Philadelphia and other cities next fall, and another meeting in Rome next year.

Self-professed Catholics have gotten caught up in the confusing, exhilarating and disruptive winds of the sexual revolution in recent decades. At this synod, rather than an upending of church teachings, there was a resetting. It was not changing doctrine but was seeking to find pastoral solutions to challenges facing good people who want to live good lives. What was on display was a draft deliberately marinated in an accessible language of mercy and encounter, words Pope Francis often uses.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BRUCE RAUNER SHOULDN’T BE ILLINOIS’ GOVERNOR To the Editor: I cannot believe The Herald-News endorsed Bruce Rauner for governor.

Even some from his own party are comparing him to former Gov. Jim Thompson, who campaigned on a “no taxes” platform, and then realized after he was elected that he had to “eat crow” and push for a tax increase.

Besides, who needs a governor that has his wife making commercials for him? Last time I looked, she wasn’t running for office.

SOME ISSUES OVERLOOKED IN TAX DISCUSSION To the Editor: I just wanted to share a few thoughts that seem to get minimized – if not completely overlooked – as the discussion

on taxes, high unemployment and eliminating poverty continues during this election season.

• The “pebble in the pond effect”: When the minimum wage goes up – the costs of goods and services go up – thus the cost of living goes up – circling back to the need for the minimum wage to go up.

• Consumer education: Knowing the difference between a want and a need (I want a new/ nicer car but I don’t need one) AND being courageous and patient enough to acquire items without going into debt.

• Eliminating career politicians and pensions! Too much money is being spent paying for former legislators who need to go back into the workforce and get off the public dole. It is “glorified, inflated and unjustified” public assistance!

• Persons receiving public assistance should be subject to periodic/regular drug tests. A large portion of the employed

sector is subject to pre-employment drug screens, and it should be the same for persons receiving public assistance. It is the tax contributions of working Americans that fund welfare and all federal programs.

My 40-plus years as a registered voter have given me opportunity to make some comparisons and assessments about not only Illinois but the U.S., too.

It will take a re-evaluation of American government priority that will strongly recognize that charity begins at home!

American patriotism keeps declining as Americans keep getting pushed to the back of the line and foreign interests lay claim and are given top priority.

To end poverty – take care of home first and stop being so greedy and wasteful! It can be done.

BRADLEY-BOURBONNAIS BOYS SOCCER REGIONAL: BRADLEY-BOURBONNAIS 3, JOLIET WEST 2

19

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, October 23, 2014

BRADLEY – Things couldn’t have started much better for Joliet West’s soccer team at the beginning of each half of Wednesday’s Class 3A Bradley-Bourbonnais Regional semifinal match against the host Boilermakers.

But while the Tigers were able to grab quick advantages in each half, they were unable to not only build on those leads but also maintain them.

After Bradley forced a 2-2 draw through regulation play, it converted on a corner kick in the first overtime, then made sure that it would stand as it captured a 3-2 victory after two 10-minute overtime periods.

As a result of their comeback win, the Boilermakers earned a spot in Saturday’s 3 p.m. championship match against Normal Community, which captured a 5-0 victory over Minooka in Wednesday’s first semifinal.

The loss obviously was disappointing for Patrick Korthauer’s Tigers, who finished their coach’s initial season with a 14-8-3 record. That was impressive considering West only won four matches last season and the 14 wins equals its total from the past three years.

“We kept getting those one-goal leads, and we were looking to get that second goal to get more of a cushion,” Korthauer said. “But they fought back and got those equalizing goals and the final one in overtime. But I’m so proud of this team and with the way that they kept at it.

We fought as hard as we had all season.

“With the quality of play that we’ve had and getting quite a few results throughout the season, it’s just a shame that we couldn’t get this one to start a playoff run. We had a few seniors on this team; and because of the quality that they had, it’s a shame that they go out this way. But after the pain subsides a bit, they can walk away with their heads held high.”

In the initial extra period,

JOLIET – A civil lawsuit filed against the trucker who allegedly caused the Interstate 55 crash that led to five deaths in July has been expanded to include companies with which he was doing business at the time.

Francisco Espinal-Quiroz is charged with 15 counts of reckless homicide and two counts of falsifying logbook entries.

Espinal-Quiroz, 51, of Leesburg, Indiana, was in criminal court on Wednesday for a pretrial hearing on the charges.

Authorities said the owner-operator was traveling 15 mph over the speed Francisco limit at 2:17 p.m. July 21 Espinal when his red Freightliner -Quiroz slammed into three vehicles backed up in the northbound lanes.

Traffic had been stalled by construction work on the Des Plaines River bridge in Channahon Township.

Kimberly K. Britton, 43, and Piper Britton, 11, of Urbana, Vicky L. Palacios, 54, of Coal City, Ulrike Blopleh, 48, of Channahon, and Timothy Osburn, 64, of Urbana, were killed in the chain-reac-

tion collision.

Espinal-Quiroz allegedly told police at the scene he started work at 2:30 a.m. but had written in the logbook he had begun at 6:30 a.m.

Blopleh’s family has filed a federal lawsuit against Espinal-Quiroz and Espinal Trucking that was recently amended to include Steel Warehouse Inc. and Eagle Transport Group.

Espinal-Quiroz was transporting for Steel Warehouse at the time of the accident and was using a trailer leased from Eagle Transport Group, according to the lawsuit. “[Steel Warehouse] monitors what time the load was picked up in South Bend and when it was delivered to Parsons Company [in Roanoke] and Caterpillar in East Peoria,” said attorney Frank Andreano, who represents the Blopleh family.

“Because they employed Espinal [for product] transport, the company was required to make sure that was done safely, according to federal guidelines,” Andreano said.

Eagle Transport, who the suit claims was obligated to monitor the trailer’s safe use, did not return a message left asking for comment.

Steel Warehouse personnel referred

questions to their attorney, who did not return a message left asking for comment.

“The records we have show that Espinal was routinely in violation of hoursof-service [regulations], which is the company’s duty to monitor and control,” Andreano said.

In a second civil action, Palacios’ son has filed a wrongful death suit against the driver in Cook County.

Espinal-Quiroz appeared briefly before Judge Daniel Rozek on Wednesday.

The defendant had used a Spanish-speaking interpreter for prior court appearances, but his lawyer told Rozek that Espinal-Quiroz is able to understand the proceedings better in English.

“Is that correct?” Rozek asked.

“Yes,” Espinal-Quiroz replied.

An assistant state’s attorney told Rozek medical records that were subpoenaed have not been received but are expected soon. Rozek scheduled the next pretrial hearing for December.

Espinal-Quiroz, who authorities said has been blind in one eye for 30 years, has driven trucks since 1991 with a vision waiver from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. His license was renewed the day before the July 21 crash.

Joliet trick-or-treating times change

Classified.......................................... 32-36

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – This year, Joliet’s trick-or-treating hours will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 31 to fall in line with surrounding communities.

For years, the city’s hours began slightly earlier, but will change this year because of daylights savings time being pushed back one week on Monday, City Manager Jim Hock told Joliet City Council members Tuesday night.

Houses wanting to be visit-

ed by “trick-or-treaters” should leave porch lights on, according to a Joliet Police Department news release.

Those planning to participate in Halloween festivities, the Joliet Police Department are asking that the public keeps these safety tips in mind: • Parents should accompany all young children while “trickor-treating”.

• “Trick-or-treaters” should only visit houses and apartments of people they know.

• Children should take their treats home for parents to in-

spect before eating.

• Children should be reminded to walk, not run, between houses and use sidewalks when available.

• Remind children to practice caution when crossing the street and cross only at intersections when traffic is clear.

• Motorists should be careful and alert during and around these hours.

• Parents need to purchase, or make costumes, that are light and bright enough to be clearly visible to motorists.

JCA plants doubt in enemy defenses VIEWS Dick Goss Joliet Catholic had everyone wondering.

With quarterback Cade Earl injured, how would the Hilltoppers attack East Suburban Catholic foe Benet? The answer hardly was expected.

Wingback Michael Johnson lined up in shotgun formation and took the snaps for nearly three quarters of last week’s East Suburban Catholic matchup. It was a wildcat of sorts – the “Hillcat,” as coach Dan Sharp

termed it – but it still was the familiar double-wing offense, with Harold Davis filling Johnson’s wingback spot, Nick Borgra at the other wing and Drew Voss at fullback.

There were some false starts and misconnects on snaps, but that was understandable. The Hilltoppers’ offense was good enough offensively to help produce an important, 27-0 victory.

Important not because JCA (6-2) needed to win to make the playoffs but because the Hilltoppers wanted to improve the potential seed they will receive Saturday night when the pairings are announced.

AREA FOOTBALL RANKINGS lar season could finish on a high note Saturday at Lake Forest Academy.

2. Lincoln-Way East (7-1): The Griffins justified their jump to No. 2 in the rankings with a huge, 23-9 victory over Bolingbrook. If East beats winless Joliet Central, the Griffins will enter playoffs on an eight-game winning streak.

3. Joliet Catholic (6-2): The Hilltoppers brought out the “Hillcat” and beat Benet largely on the strength of a huge defensive effort. Their visit to Marist will be difficult; the RedHawks must win to qualify for playoffs.

4. Bolingbrook (5-3): The Raiders suddenly are on a two-game losing streak and are slipping in the rankings. Friday’s opponent, Sandburg, is playing for its playoff life and will be dangerous.

5. Lincoln-Way West (7-1): The Warriors followed up their comeback win over Lincoln-Way North with a strong performance in a 34-6 victory at Thornton. The SouthWest Suburban Red title is attainable Friday vs. Lincoln-Way Central.

6. Lemont (8-0): Receiver Flynn Nagel, who transferred from Marist, has become a bigger and bigger weapon as the season has progressed. He leads the area in receiving yards.

7. Lincoln-Way Central (5-3): Senior running back Sean Studer rushed 32 times for 312 yards and six touchdowns in the Knights’ 55-34 win over Thornwood. Now, he goes up against Lincoln-Way West’s strong defense.

8. Plainfield East (6-2): The Bengals face winless but competitive Plainfield Central on Friday, hoping to maximize their playoff seed and perhaps get a first-round home game for the first time.

9. Plainfield North (5-3): The Tigers came up See RANKINGS, page 21

The bottom line is if you are Marist – or a JCA playoff opponent in the early rounds – you know you’re preparing for the double wing, but you’re not sure where the quarterback will line up. If it’s in the shotgun, Johnson becomes perhaps an even bigger threat with his legs “From this formation, I can see the defense flowing more,” he said after the Benet game. “I think it’s easier to run.”

Earl, who is having an excellent season, has a PCL injury and is expected to be out at least a few more

LARGE SCHOOLS 1. Providence (7-1): The Celtics’ marvelous regu-

This week’s game at Marist is important for the same reason. Meanwhile, the RedHawks (4-4) had their three-game winning streak snapped last week in a 37-21 loss to unbeaten Nazareth. However, they will make the playoffs if they can beat JCA, so incentive certainly is there.

After Johnson returned to his wingback position late in the third quarter against Benet, Cameron Behymer entered at quarterback, took snaps under center and was at the controls for two insurance touchdowns, one of which was his 57-yard touchdown strike to Davis.

Southwest Prairie unpredictable • GOSS Continued from page 20 weeks. Until he returns, the Hilltoppers will keep defenses guessing.

SOUTH RISING? The Southwest Prairie Conference is known for its unpredictability, so buckle your seat belts heading into this final weekend.

Perhaps the one constant that remains is nobody ever beats Oswego. It hasn’t happened in the league in the past four seasons. Of course, that may change Friday. The Panthers (7-1) visit Plainfield South in a game the Cougars (4-4) must win to qualify for the playoffs.

South began the season 0-3. The playoffs were a pipe dream. However, the Cougars’ season has been so strange that now you wonder if they may have one more trick up their sleeves.

Even after South started winning, the Cougars lost, 46-21, to Romeoville in Week

John Patsch for Shaw Media

Joliet Catholic quarterback Michael Johnson is tackled by Benet’s Nac Cooney during last week’s game.

6 – yet here they are, 4-2 and in position to tie for second place in the conference. Two of their victories were 13-12 over Oswego East and 14-13 over Plainfield Central. Romeoville is 2-4 in the league, Oswego East 1-5 and Plainfield Central 0-6.

Go figure. When we say SPC results often do not make sense, South is Exhibit A. The thing about Oswego is, while the Panthers continue to win, they have not been

as dominant as in the past.

Disregard their 40-0 victory over Oswego East, and their other five SPC victories have been by an average of 9.6 points. They beat Plainfield East, 24-21, and Plainfield North, 35-28, the last two weeks.

What any of this means, who knows? This, after all, is the SPC.

JCA contingent earns 17-32 seeds at state

So who are Bears’ leaders?

for each game.

When asked why, Trestman explained Wednesday, “I don’t think this is unusual. We’ve done it both ways, where we’ve elected five captains, which some teams do. Other teams go with weekly captains.

“After being around this team for 18 months, they’re certainly a group of guys that I would call decorated veterans that are influential guys on this team, guys that I go to, talk to. But there’s also a lot of guys, more than five guys, who are truly leaders and guys who have the respect of our team and leaders are really visibly seen in their demeanor, in the way they practice, the way they work in meetings, the way they initiate conversation with other players – and we have a lot of those guys.

“I felt this year I wanted to recognize some of those guys. And that’s why we’re doing it. It’s not unique to us.”

I’m not sure if there is a right or wrong answer, but here’s my problem with it. Captains appointed for one game aren’t really team captains responsible for the well-being and best interest of all their teammates. They’re just guys being honored on a given day.

Let’s say one, two or several Bears players had been out of line in the locker room immediately after the loss to the Dolphins.

Which players would be in a position to do something

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush I really do believe it’s time to put the Bears postgame locker room dust-up after the loss to the Dolphins behind us.

It was unfortunate and not something that should be ignored or just passed off, and it’s not something that happens often in locker rooms around the league.

But it’s also really not that big a deal if you believe, as I do, there is no rift or turmoil among Bears players. The locker room isn’t about to erupt and this group of Bears players do seem to be a fairly tight group, exactly as the head coach and team members continue to tell us.

Rather than being a sign of more ominous things to come, it was most likely just an overflow of emotions after a tough loss with little impact on the future of this Bears team.

What it has done, however, is touch off a different question or topic of conversation about the 2014 Bears.

Who are the leaders of this football team, who should they be, and what kind of job are they doing?

Last season, Marc Trestman’s first as the Bears head coach, the players elected captains for the season. This year, Trestman decided not to let the players vote and has been appointing captains himself

about it in a way every man on the team would respect?

This week’s captains, last week’s captains, Week 1’s captains?

Jared Allen doesn’t think that’s a big deal.

“I’ve never been a huge guy on needing a person to be an out-front, vocal leader,” Allen said. “I would assume people respect the fact that I show up and I work. And I’ve been around this league long enough and had enough success in this league to where if I need to talk to someone, I can.

“I think I have that respect as a teammate. I think that’s what we do well with this team. Again, I would say we have good leadership. Maybe, from the outside looking in, you guys are looking for a vocal person who has an ‘S’ on his chest to do something.

Those aren’t the guys typically I find that people respond to.”

Perhaps Allen and Trestman are both right.

But I have never seen a business being run successfully by a bunch of talented guys with whoever feels like it at the time stepping up and leading and getting everyone else to follow.

Leadership by committee is often no leadership at all.

Could it be one of the reasons the Bears are 3-4 and floundering right now?

BEARS NOTES

Brady’s groove is trouble for Bears

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – Tom Brady has gotten in a groove the past few weeks, and that’s not a good thing for the Bears.

They need to make him uncomfortable. They need to get to the precise, prolific, pocket passer before he picks them apart – and that obligation falls heavily on the defensive line.

“If you keep him off that spot, you keep him uncomfortable in the pocket, you keep him off rhythm,” Lamarr Houston said.

“You don’t want a good quarterback like that to get comfortable in the pocket, because then they’ll start making plays at will.”

“Whether you’re inside or outside, it’s important to keep him off the spot, especially someone who’s a pocket passer like him.”

Sometimes, edge rushers don’t have the time to get around a tackle to get to Brady, who isn’t going to move the pocket but has great footwork within the pocket. That puts an emphasis on the interior pass rush, and the Bears have done a nice job up the middle with Stephen Paea (four sacks) and Jeremiah Ratliff (3.5 sacks, all Sunday).

“He’s going to stand there until someone gets in front of his face and pressures him. It’ll be a good matchup for us,” Paea said.

The Patriots have had some

rotating on their offensive line because of injuries and after trading Logan Mankins. Brady has been sacked 13 times this season.

“We’ve just got to hit – we’re not trying to hurt him – we’ve just got to make him uncomfortable in the pocket,” Paea said.

“We’ll help our corners, they’ll help us; and when the corners help us, we’ll get the sacks instead of him throwing the ball early.”

Mel Tucker emphasized it’s got to be a team effort to contain Brady, with the pass rush from the interior and off the edge, along with the coverage behind it. He said the pass rush from Paea and Ratliff has been “huge” because of their ability to collapse the pocket.

Houston, who will slide inside when the Bears are in their nickel package, explained what they have to do pre-snap to get an edge on Brady, who will get rid of the ball quickly.

“Just making sure you’ve got that pre-snap read correct and you’re able to anticipate the guy in front of you,” he said.

Similar to their strategy against Aaron Rodgers, the Bears may not want to blitz, instead relying on a high-paid front four to get to Brady and get the Patriots out of any rhythm.

As much as an interior rush could have a bigger impact on Brady, as Tucker says, “It takes all four to get it done.”

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Derrick Rose is back, and the Bulls are relevant again.

They hope they stay that way this time.

The Bulls believe they are poised to contend in the Eastern Conference with their superstar point guard back again and a deeper roster surrounding him.

“The possibilities are endless,” center Joakim Noah said. “I think the sky’s the limit, especially when you bring a guy like Derrick back – not only what he means as a talent, but what he means to the city.”

Rose’s long-awaited comeback from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee got cut short when he tore the meniscus in his right knee early last season, derailing the Bulls’ plans to contend.

But he is back – again – and the Bulls have a few more weapons.

The Bulls signed Pau Gasol after they failed to reel in Carmelo Anthony. They added Nikola Mirotic from Europe, and Doug McDermott, giving them some sorely needed outside shooting.

More than anything, they set their sights on the Eastern Conference championship after getting knocked out by Washington in the first round of the playoffs last season.

They believe they are ready to take on Cleveland, even if the Cavaliers lured LeBron James back from Miami and added Kevin Love for good measure.

They won’t have to wait long to see how they stack up, either.

The Bulls’ first home game is against Cleveland on Oct. 31, two nights after the season opener against the Knicks in New York.

Here are some things to look for this season: ROSE’S HEALTH: For all the

optimism surrounding the Bulls, their most important player remains their biggest question mark. Rose has played in just 49 regular-season games over three years.

The 2011 MVP sat out the 201213 season recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee and saw the plug get pulled on his long awaited comeback last year. A torn meniscus in his right knee limited him to 10 games. That is why the Bulls were so gung-ho about him playing with the U.S. national team in the World Cup of Basketball in the offseason.

He knocked off some rust and stayed healthy.

THE GASOL EFFECT: While the Bulls did not land Anthony, Gasol was not a bad Plan B. NBA champion San Antonio and Oklahoma City among others were interested, but he chose Chicago. Age is a concern at 34, but Gasol remains one of the league’s most skilled big men. He won two championships with Kobe Bryant and the Lakers and is a four-time All-Star with Los Angeles and Memphis. Gasol, who averaged 17.4 points and 9.7 rebounds in 60 games last season, adds some much-needed scoring punch to the frontcourt. He also gives the Bulls another big man who can pass and defend the rim, along with Noah.

ROOKIE TIME: Coach Tom Thibodeau has hesitated to play rookies in the past.

Then again, none were as highly touted as McDermott and Mirotic, the former Real Madrid star. Both are known for their shooting, an area in which Chicago struggled last season. The Bulls ranked last in field goal percentage (43.2 percent) and were among the worst in 3-point accuracy at just under 35 percent. McDermott, taken with the 11th pick

by Denver and immediately dealt to Chicago, averaged a nation-leading 26.7 points for Creighton last season.

Relics Exposition at St. Mary Immaculate Parish PLAINFIELD – Treasures of the Church is a ministry of evangelization of the Catholic Church. Run by the Rev. Carlos Martins of the Companions of the Cross, its purpose is to give people an experience of the living God through an encounter with the relics of his saints in the form of an exposition. The local exposition will be at 7 p.m.

Tuesday and Wednesday at St. Mary Immaculate Parish, 15629 S. Route 59, Plainfield.

The exposition involves some 150 relics, including those of St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little Flower”), St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Faustina Kowalska. The supreme highlights are one of the largest relics of the Church’s claim to the True Cross in the world and a piece of the veil that, according to sanctioned tradition, is believed to have belonged to Mary, Jesus’ mother.

Carlos uses multimedia to explain the Catholic church’s use of relics that is scriptural, catechetical and devotional, leading to a renewal of the Catholic faith for many people.

After the teaching, an exposition of relics gives the faithful an opportunity to venerate some of their favorite saints.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Do not assume all will be easy

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Mahesh Bhupathi, who won 12 doubles grand slam tennis titles, said, “I am glad that Wimbledon is my last slam. I love the atmosphere and courts of SW19, and it is an addiction, which I will find tough to give up.”

If you have never been to Wimbledon, go! As Bhupathi says, the atmosphere is special.

If you are in a bridge slam, take some extra time, because so many points are at stake. In this deal, how should South play in six spades after West leads the club queen?

North’s two-no-trump response showed a balanced hand with eight points or more. South, knowing that his side had at least an eight-card spade fit, used the Gerber convention, asking for aces.

The original declarer took the first trick with dummy’s club king and played a spade to his king -- and had to concede down one when West discarded.

If the spades were 2-2 or 3-1, there would not have been a problem.

So South should have slammed his attention on dealing with a 4-0 break.

If West had all four, the contract was unmakable. But when East had four, they could be picked up if South could lead through East’s 10-nine twice. But that required two dummy entries: the heart ace and club king.

Declarer had to win the first trick in his hand and lead the spade king.

Suppose East won with his ace and returned his second club. South would have won in the dummy and played a spade. Presumably East would have put in his nine or 10, but declarer would have won, returned to dummy with a heart, and finessed East out of his last two trumps.

Improvements in the works to help with I-55 interchange congestion

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Drivers trying to head north or south on Weber Road normally encounter nearly half-hour delays at the Interstate 55 interchange.

Traffic is blocked several times every weekday, sometimes spanning as far north as 115th Street and south to Normantown Road.

“Just drive down at any time during rush hour,” said Bruce Gould, Will County director of transportation. “It’s pretty congested.”

Gould said Weber has the highest traffic volume of any county highway in Will, and the interchange is the most heavily congested.

And as Romeoville, Bolingbrook and Plainfield continue to burgeon into a regional center for industrial development, traffic is expected to increase along the stretch of I-55, from Route 30 to Weber.

That’s why the three municipalities, Will County and the Illinois Department of Transportation are coordinating efforts to add new interchanges and modify existing ones to relieve traffic congestion and residents’ frustration.

The first project completed will be the Weber Road interchange.

Airport Road and Route 126 A new interchange at Airport Road and the reconstruction of the Route 126 northbound ramp is supposed to bring relief to I-55 in the future.

But the combined project is expected to take at least 10 more years to complete and likely more. It’s still in its first phase of preliminary engineering and environmental studies. And several engineering proposals are hitting the desks of each government agency.

The Airport Road interchange is located in Romeoville, while the Route 126 merger borders Plainfield and Bolingbrook.

The two interchanges were originally separate projects sought by Romeoville and Bolingbrook. But federal and state agencies wanted the two villages to work together.

Plainfield also expressed interest in the interchanges because of the effect the projects would have on traffic in the village’s downtown district. So the three villages formed a consortium in 2009 to start planning the interchanges.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

A construction worker at the Route 30 Interstate 55 interchange on Monday in Joliet.

“The project is really not just an important reliever for Romeoville, but the whole region,” Romeoville Mayor John Noak said. “From our town going down to Route 30, what we have is a bottleneck of traffic coming from Naperville and south DuPage [County] into the I-55 economic hub in our community.”

Romeoville is the lead municipality in the consortium because of a $1.9 million federal grant the village obtained.

The grant partially covers the firstphase studies, with the three villages and IDOT splitting the rest of the bill.

After those studies, the agencies involved need to find more funding before construction can start.

The Route 126 portion of the project is perhaps the more complicated of the two. Right now, the interchange merges eastbound Route 126 traffic with northbound I-55, and exits southbound I-55 traffic to westbound Route 126.

Plans are to make it a full interchange with connections to Essington Road and 135th Street. But nearby residents and wildlife experts have op-

posed the plans in Plainfield, causing further delay.

The Airport Road interchange is less complicated because it doesn’t have similar wildlife issues, Plainfield Public Works Director Allen Persons said.

“Bisecting the wetlands or intruding too far into it is a problem for the 126th interchange,” Persons said. “But the idea was to bring both projects together.”

Additional improvements While the consortium-backed effort will take 10, or more likely 15, years before fruition, IDOT and Will County have fast-tracked the Weber Road interchange reconstruction.

The reconstruction will bring Weber to six lanes between 119th and 135th streets, and create a diverging diamond interchange.

The main construction on the $69.2 million project is expected to start next summer and take about two years to complete, an IDOT official said.

Construction at the Route 30 interchange to add exit lanes and upgrade traffic signals started in October. That $2.6 million project is only the first part of expanded plans to widen Route 30 and add a center turn lane between Renwick Road and I-55.

Noak and Plainfield Mayor Michael Collins said the villages also are doing their own improvements to help ease traffic near the I-55 interchanges.

Noak said Romeoville has looked at alleviating traffic on Weber and Route 53 by building connections to local north-south roads like Belmont Avenue for residents.

Plainfield is working on east-west connections, such as extending 143rd Street from Route 59 to Route 126, Collins said. The village also has worked with state and county agencies to re-designate truck routes to relieve downtown traffic from Route 126.

“All these projects are definitely good for Plainfield,” Collins said. “It lessens the burden at Weber Road and at Route 30.”

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff acetaminophen for back pain? Not necessarily.

Randomized studies like this can tell you the reaction of the average person in the study. But people are all different. It may be that some people really do get good relief from acetaminophen, even if the average person doesn’t. So if it works for you, stick with it.

But acetaminophen does have its own risks and side effects. Taking too much acetaminophen can seriously damage the liver. Ideally, the average healthy adult shouldn’t take more than 3,000 milligrams a day.

The safest option is to try to get through the worst of your back pain without medication: • Use cold compresses or an ice pack, not heat, immediately after an injury.

About 48 hours after back pain hits, heat may be more helpful. The warmth soothes and relaxes aching muscles.

• Try to keep moving. A limited amount of activity is better than lying in bed.

Ask your doctor about appropriate exercises to start sooner rather than later. Exercise therapy can help heal acute back pain and help prevent a repeat episode.

• Chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture, massage or yoga provide relief for some people with acute back pain. Several studies support using these alternative/complementary therapies.

Many people can relieve their back pain with these simple measures. If they don’t provide complete relief, then non-prescription NSAID medicines often will do the trick.

• Write to Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Doctor K: I have frequent back pain. I usually take acetaminophen (the Tylenol brand), but I hear it may not be effective for back pain. Is there anything to that?

Dear Reader: If you’d asked me that question even a year ago, I would have said, “Acetaminophen works fine for most people.” Lots of people are bothered by back pain.

When it strikes, all you want is relief -- and fast.

Many folks turn to overthe-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin).

Most doctors I know would have shared my impression that acetaminophen works for back pain.

I respect the opinions of seasoned doctors, but I also know that there is no substitute for actually studying a question.

Indeed, a recent study has challenged my long-standing assumption about the value of acetaminophen for back pain.

Researchers wanted to know if acetaminophen shortened the time from the start of acute back pain (back pain that comes on suddenly) to complete relief. What they found was surprising.

For people who used acetaminophen only when their back pain bothered them, it took about 17 days to get complete relief.

For those who took the medication three times a day, it also took about 17 days for full relief. And for those who took a placebo – a sugar pill with no medicine at all – the time to recovery was 16 days. In other words, the medication made no difference in how fast back pain went away and stayed away. In addition, all three groups had similar experiences in terms of the severity of their pain, disability and function.

Does this mean that you shouldn’t bother to use

Will County sets up Ebola information hub

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com The Will County Health Department wants to be a central informational source for locals with questions or concerns about Ebola.

Health officials also are setting up their own local Ebola hot line.

The department asks Will County residents to consider it as a hub of information for all local, regional and nation-

al public health information about Ebola, including developments and efforts to prevent the disease from spreading.

“We continue to meet regularly with our community health partners and other local units of government to make sure we are all on the same page regarding Ebola protocol,” said John Cicero, health department executive director.

The department’s website is www.willcountyhealth.org, and the phone number is 815-

727-8480.

The website has the latest Ebola news in the local and national headlines. It also has links to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Ebola page, and the latest tweets by the health department tracking local news.

Health department spokesman Vic Reato said the site has breaking local information, such as news about two ill passengers who flew in to O’Hare International Airport from

Liberia and were hospitalized for observation to see if they had Ebola, or the individual in Rock Island County whose family was self-quarantined after she came back from Liberia.

“We’re thinking that would be the most efficient way to get ahold of information,” Reato said. “It’s important people get accurate information because this is so fluid. It changes daily.”

Reato said officials are also developing a local hot line peo-

ple can call for all Ebola information.

Until that is set up, the department is urging people to call the Illinois Department of Public Health’s 24-hour Ebola hot line at 800-889-3931.

The health department already has directed hospitals to screen people entering their facilities. The screening process includes asking people about their recent travel history and if they’re exhibiting specific symptoms.

Diocese eyes Center St. building for re-entry program Idea worries neighbors

“There’s a lot of unanswered questions. There’s already so many problem areas here. It’s a good idea to have. We’re not opposed to rehabilitation, but it’s not right for this area.”

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

Candace Johnson

lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Diocese of Joliet officials are exploring converting a building at 430 Center St. into a re-entry and recovery housing complex for ex-convicts.

The idea has already stirred controversy with area neighborhood associations that don’t want to see the proposed site – the John Paul II building, which currently houses priests – used for offenders convicted for sexual or violent crimes.

“There’s a lot of unanswered questions,” said Candace Johnson, a member of the St. John’s Neighborhood Association and resident who lives two blocks south of the Center Street location. “There’s already so many problem areas here. It’s a good idea to have. We’re not opposed to rehabilitation, but it’s not right for this area.”

Discussions about putting the Pope John Paul II to a new use follow the Diocese’s decision to move its chancery office to Crest Hill, which was done earlier this year.

The Diocese of Joliet vacated the chancery offices, shown here, and a tribunal building earlier this year when moving to Crest Hill. The Diocese is interested in using the John Paul II building, the last one still occupied at the Joliet site, for a housing program for ex-convicts. the only one of three at the site still in use. The chancery and tribunal building were vacated.

Glenn Van Cura, executive director of Catholic Charities of Joliet, said Wednesday the nonprofit wants to mirror the re-entry program of St. Leonard Ministries in Chicago, which houses violent and drug offenders – but excludes sex offenders, arsonists and people with severe mental disabilities.

However, he said, Catholic Charities is still in the “exploratory phase” and “everything is on the table” – including

what types of crimes qualify and the ultimate location.

“There’s such a huge need for these prison re-entry programs,” Van Cura said, noting the state’s high prison recidivism rates. The goal, he said, is to provide career services and counseling that ex-prisoners may need to re-enter society.

City Councilwoman Bettye Gavin said Wednesday that Catholic Charities contacted her last month.

“We’re just in the planning stages,” Gavin said. “I certainly think there is a need, but not entirely sure it will be at this

location.”

The issue was first brought to the public’s attention at Tuesday’s Joliet City Council

by Councilman Jim McFarland. He said Wednesday he wanted to get the discussion “out in the open.”

“I don’t want this happening behind closed doors,” McFarland said. “I want to get it out in the open. What exactly is this? Who’s going to be housed there. There needs to be some kind of public dialogue.”

Gavin said she’s focused on bringing the issue to community groups, including St. John’s Neighborhood Association and the Cunningham Neighborhood Association, to “feel the pulse of the community.”

“I think that if we could have some dialogue, people will have a self-interest in this,” Gavin said. “I see a need for people who are leaving incarceration who want to re-enter into soci-

ety. I really am in favor.”

So far, there’s only been opposition, said Georgene Skole Williams, a member of both local groups. “No one is happy about this,” she said.

“We’re not opposed to rehab, but we’re still sitting on Evergreen Terrace. It’s a stone’s throw away,” Skole Williams said, referring to the low-income housing complex about to be taken over by the city after making a case in court that the apartments have been poorly managed and ridden with crime.

“There’s fear of the unknown,” said John Sheridan, a member of the Cunningham Neighborhood Association.

“My opinion is, let’s get the whole story first.”

Gavin said she plans to discuss the issue at Cunningham Neighborhood Association’s Nov. 5 meeting.

Braidwood voters asked to pay more for police pensions

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – City officials say police services could be eroded if voters do not pass a referendum to pay extra taxes to fund pensions on Nov. 4.

The referendum asks Braidwood residents to pay an additional 0.2069 percent of their homes’ equalized assessed value to help pay for a retirement fund the city has been supporting for the past 13 years.

That would translate to $207 for a house with an equalized assessed value of $100,000.

The levy is estimated to bring in $225,000 in new taxes that would go straight to a local police pension fund.

“If it doesn’t pass, sooner or later, the police department could close,” said Rich Girot, police chief and city administrator for Braidwood, adding that the police pension fund is only 52 percent funded.

“The only way to pay without the levy is to cut staff,” he said. “First, you cut staff and hours, but eventually you cut the police department.”

If that happens, Girot said 911 calls will be handled by other departments, including county and state police. But they won’t be obligated to patrol the city.

Mayor Bill Rulien said shutting down the department also could affect the economic development of the city.

“A Meijer or other business is not going to build in a town that doesn’t have a valid police department,” he said.

The levy would mean a single family residence having an equalized assessed value of $100,000 would pay an additional $207 in taxes this year.

“I feel like it’s definitely peanuts,” Rulien said. “It’s off the equalized assessed value, not market value. Some people spend $3 to $4 on coffee at Starbucks every day. They should be able to spend quarters on the police department.”

According to city officials, for the past 13 years the city has been paying about $250,000 a year out of its general fund from a $3 million budget to pay

for police pensions.

The city has put in more than $2 million into the pensions, but it still owes $1.8 million. Officers and employees on disability will start to dip into their pensions soon, Girot said.

Police pension problem Girot, the mayor of Braidwood from 1995 to 1999, said the police pension problem started in 2000.

Braidwood exceeded a population of 5,000 in the new census, which meant that the city’s police pensions had to be separated from the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund and managed locally, accord-

ing to state law.

In 2001, the city’s attorney sent a letter to city officials advising them to create a local police pension fund with an additional tax levy. That would shift the amount taxpayers pay for police pensions from the IMRF to the new levy.

However, for some reason the city never did it, and was left to foot the pension bill that taxpayers otherwise would have contributed to.

“You can’t keep on taking it out of the general fund,” Rulien said about previous city administrations. “They were trying to get away with kicking the can down the road. But we want to solve this problem.”

Bertino-Tarrant says education funding reform bill dead in House Missing a real schools only have art classes a few times a year. Her own children have art twice a week.

“While this vote may not be a popular one with many of my constituents, I’m looking at the bigger picture,” she said.

Both Bertino-Tarrant and McCarthy agree that any school funding reform has to start with a promise of adequate funding for all schools.

District 204 Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Ilandus Hampton has previously said Joliet and other school districts have only received about 89 percent of what is statutorily owed to them in the last few years.

“We need to get 100 percent adequacy of funding,” said Bertino-Tarrant. She also said Illinois needs to either start funding schools for new mandates or let them decide whether to offer services they cannot afford.

Bertino-Tarrant said she foresees some school funding reform in the next two years, but is unsure what form it will take.

McCarthy said she would like to see state legislators have “real collaboration” with the Illinois Statewide School Management Alliance, which includes school boards, administrators, business officials and principals.

True funding reform cannot happen until the state supports schools to the fullest extent, McCarthy said.

JOLIET – A controversial school funding reform bill passed by the Illinois Senate last May most likely will not pass into legislation due to Illinois House opposition, said state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood.

For Joliet Township High School District 204 Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy, this is OK because the bill does not offer the reform schools seek, although it would have directed millions of extra dollars to Joliet’s high schools.

Bertino-Tarrant voted for Senate Bill 16 because there is a need for equity among Illinois’ school districts, she told the district school board and parents at the board’s regular meeting Tuesday night.

SB16 has created an uproar among many suburban Chicago school districts. It would redistribute the state’s education funds according to a formula that would theoretically funnel more money to low-income areas, taking away money from areas with higher property values and tax levy potential.

Under the SB16 formula, funding for District 204 would go up about $1.6 million, from about $9 million to about $10.5 million. That represents about a 17 percent increase.

However, Troy School District 30C would lose about $3.2 million of its current $4.7 million in state funding. This is about a 68 percent decrease.

Information on schools’ gains or losses under the bill can be found at www.isbe.net/ EFAC/default.htm.

Despite the expected benefit for Joliet’s high schools and grade school District 86, the high schools’ other sender schools would lose out on needed funding, McCarthy said.

The new formula is problematic because “it would devastate” the budgets of other school districts in the area that are not wealthy – including Rockdale Elementary School District 84 and Laraway Central Consolidated School District 70C, McCarthy said after the meeting.

These districts are not in Bertino-Tarrant’s constituency.

However, she said the formula looks at school district taxing potential and that many of them “may not be looking at all that they can levy.”

This may not matter now, as Bertino-Tarrant said the bill would not come to the Illinois House floor, much less be passed in its current form. Changes are being discussed, she said, but these are not changes she would endorse.

“To have true education reform, we need to look for equity,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “As an educator, it is difficult to understand that kids get a different education based on where they live.”

Bertino-Tarrant is a former teacher and school administrator as well as a regional school superintendent for Will County.

She told the board that while some school districts in her constituency, such as her own children’s Troy School District, would lose funding under the proposal, other low income districts could offer a better education for their students.

“We are trying to even the playing field, so that all Illinois students have the basic necessities,” she said in a later phone interview.

She related a discussion with the bill’s sponsor, Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, of the 48th Legislative District, which brought the picture of disparity among school districts into focus. Manar said his area

Future of Tri County Special Rec cloudy as Lemont departs Park District Board decision has impact in Lockport, Romeoville, puts SRA in jeopardy

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com

Peggy Wilson Tri County SRA executive director Director Peggy Wilson said the association needs to find another park district to join it in order to continue levying taxes, from which it receives a majority of its operating funds.

She said that, according to state park district code, special recreation associations in counties with more than 500,000 people need to have at least two park districts to levy taxes. “[The park district’s] consultant had told our parents there are six communities [who could join Tri County SRA], but three of them are villages and that won’t help us,” Wilson said. “Four that he had mentioned already belonged to a special rec [association].”

said the park district evaluated its special recreation services, hiring a consultant and holding public forums. They determined they could provide more choices for residents by joining SEASPAR, she said.

“We think we can have more programs for our families, specifically adult programming [through SEASPAR],” she said. “We hope to host more of those programs at the Park District.”

Wilson said it is evident the Lemont parents want to stay with Tri County SRA. “They’ve been happy with the program,” she said. “They

know our staff. They like the smallness of it. They had four public forums. Not once was there one complaint by one parent. Nobody wanted to leave and yet that’s what they decided to do.”

Parents at the meeting said they believed the park district already had made up its mind to leave the Tri County SRA before the evaluation process.

“Our participants have a history with Tri County, and we are going to throw that away for what? I still don’t know,” resident Tracy Simon said.

Parents speculated that Lemont was leaving Tri County SRA because they could not get along with other association members.

Wilson said there were some philosophical differences between Lemont and other association members over issues, such as the purchase of an administration building, Lemont’s representation in

the organization and staff hiring.

“Sometimes, it’s hard when you have three, because you feel like it’s two against one a little bit,” she said. “I think that’s how Lemont felt on certain issues.”

Parents were concerned that their children would not receive as much individual attention in a larger program such as SEASPAR. Carol Dunkin said she could not afford to enroll her son in as many programs because of the further travel distance to programs and higher program fees.

Pepich said the board is working to “come up with a mechanism to offset the additional cost.”

Egofske said they are working with SEASPAR to provide busing from Lemont locations and that programs in neighboring towns such as Woodridge and Darien may not be as far away as parents think.

LEMONT – The Lemont Park District Board of Commissioners has unanimously voted to leave the Tri County Special Recreation Association, which puts the future of the association in jeopardy.

The other members of the Tri County SRA are the Lockport Township Park District and the village of Romeoville.

The Lemont board voted Tuesday to become a member of the South East Association for Special Parks and Recreation.

Membership is pending a two-thirds approval by the SEASPAR Board. The Lemont Park District will remain a member of the Tri County SRA until April.

Board president Brian Pepich said the decision was made because SEASPAR provides more services, but parents at the meeting were upset their children would be uprooted from the Tri County SRA programs they were familiar with.

Timing of announcement becomes issue in Grundy sheriff’s race 9 cchapman@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The timing of Tuesday’s announcement of 18 local arrests, most of which had been made months ago, on heroin charges had nothing to do with the upcoming November election, Sheriff Kevin Callahan said Wednesday, although his opponent, Ken Briley, disputes that.

“It’s certainly newsworthy whenever this happens, whether it’s two weeks before an election or in the middle of the year – it’s newsworthy,” Callahan said. “The public needs to know we are doing this on a daily basis. We’re passing this information on to our undercover

agents. We’re fighting this epidemic.”

Callahan said the information on the arrests was released to his office by the Joliet Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad and, within days of receiving it, his office released it to the media.

Several of the arrests actually were made in 2013. Others were arrested earlier this year.

It appeared only a few were arrested in recent weeks.

Ken Briley, the Republican who is running against Callahan in the Nov. 4 election for sheriff, said the sheriff’s department releasing all the arrests at one time is misleading to the public.

It made it seem as though all the arrests were made at one time, he said, rather than spread out

Callahan said.

The deputy director of the Joliet MANS, John Arizzi, said his organization just recently released information about the 18 arrests made in the past year on heroin delivery charges to recognize the Grundy County sheriff’s Department, whose MANS deputy was the driving force behind all the arrests.

That deputy’s name is not released because he or she does undercover work.

The last six or seven warrants needed to be served before the operation was wrapped up, and then the information was given to the Grundy sheriff’s department, Arizzi said. Callahan said his office received it a few days ago and then took some time putting the news release

together, which was then released to the media.

“There was nothing political about it at all. The vast majority [of officers] in MANS are not in Grundy County,” Arizzi said.

With the growing heroin problem in the area, Arizzi said MANS tries to inform local departments of their efforts whenever possible so the departments can inform their communities. Numerous arrests are released at one time, and often long after initial arrests are made, to protect informants until arrests are completed, he said.

“In this case, all the arrests came from one Grundy County agent and so we reported that back [to Grundy County],” Arizzi said.

“I’m glad the sheriff’s department is getting heroin off the streets, but to mislead the newspaper and mislead the public, and release it two weeks before the election. ... I have to question if its political,” Briley said.

Callahan, a Democrat, said the timing was not deliberate and coincided with when MANS released the information to his department. He released it to the media to make sure his deputies were recognized for their work, Callahan said.

“I’m very proud of our deputies who are making street-level arrests, and very proud of our deputy assigned to MANS and the public deserves to know,”
