Fundraiser for slain teacher’s kids hits $10,000 in one day

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – An online fundraiser set up to help future expenses for the two children of a Plainfield North High School teacher who died earlier this week raised more than $10,000 in one day.

A group of women who identified themselves as Sue Cunningham’s friends set up a GoFundMe account called “Sue’s Angels” on Wednesday afternoon with Sue a goal of raising Cunningham $20,000. About 24 hours later, the account had raised $10,764 through 189 donations.

The group of friends – including Kristen Robertson, Elly Stonis, Melanie Leung, Carrie Glenn and Colleen

Know more To donate to the Sue’s Angels fund, visit www.gofundme.com/ SuesAngels.

Graham – set up the account with Sue Cunningham’s children, 14-year-old Nicholas and 8-year-old Taylor, in mind.

“Simply, their mother has passed on,” Robertson said.

“They will need things in the future. We’re very close to the kids, as well as our children [are]. And we love them like our own.”

The message on the GoFundMe page states the fundraiser was set up “to assist Sue’s family in providing for the children’s future needs.”

Robertson and Stonis declined to go into detail on exactly what those needs were.

Sue Cunningham was slain Tuesday night by her

husband, Craig Cunningham, who then killed himself by walking into oncoming traffic on Interstate 55, police said Wednesday.

Sue Cunningham was a 47-year-old Plainfield North High School teacher who recently received a clean bill of health after battling Stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

A candlelight vigil was held Wednesday evening at Plainfield North in Sue Cunningham’s remembrance. Her death also played a role in the emotions of the Plainfield North soccer team Wednesday night as they beat rival Plainfield East.

The quick response to the fundraiser is credited to Sue Cunningham’s impact on people she met.

“I believe people know who Sue is and love her,” Stonis said. “She only wants what’s best for the kids and everyone has been very supportive.”

Machinery, energy and transportation sales dropped in the period, as did revenue for the financial products segment.

Caterpillar said that its total revenue decline was mostly due to lower sales volume and the impact of the stronger dollar. Sales dropped 31 percent in Latin America and fell 25 percent in the Asia Pacific region.

• Friday, October 23, 2015

PEORIA – Caterpillar was stung by ongoing weakness in the mining and oil and gas industries during the third quarter and revenue fell short of expectations.

The construction and mining equipment maker lowered its full-year earnings forecast with expectations that the costs of restructuring the company will rise sharply.

Shares fell more than 2 percent before the opening bell Thursday.

Last month, Caterpillar announced another round of job cuts that could exceed 10,000 people through 2018. The company said that it would cut as many as 5,000 people mostly by the end of this year from its salaried and management workforce. It then could cut thousands more, raising the total above 10,000, as it figures out which factories and manufacturing sites to close through 2018.

Caterpillar makes diesel and natural gas engines, in-

share, which was in line with analyst projections.

For the year, Caterpillar now anticipates an adjusted profit of about $4.60 per share.

Its prior guidance was for $5 a share. The Peoria company now foresees 2015 restructuring costs of approximately $800 million, compared with a prior forecast of about $250 million.

It maintained its outlook for 2015 revenue of about $48 billion.

Analysts surveyed by FactSet are looking for 2015 earnings of $4.63 a share on revAP file photo enue of $48.06 billion.

Python found in Wilmington home

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Police removed an unwanted intruder from a woman’s bathroom Thursday morning in Wilmington.

About 9 a.m., a resident of the 900 block of James Street walked in the bathroom to take a shower and saw a 3½foot ball python in the tub, according to Chief Phillip Arnold.

“She closed the door and called her daughter-in-law, who called us,” Arnold said.

“Meanwhile, the snake got out of the bathtub and went to the sink. She could hear it

An officer retrieved the snake with a bucket, placed it into a bag and brought it back to the police station, where Arnold put it in a plastic storage container on his desk.

“I’ve never held a snake in my adult life, but it’s very doc-

ile,” he said.

The staff called the snake “Jamie,” because she was found on James Street.

Arnold said police have not received any reports of missing pets. A reptile expert confirmed the snake was a female and said she probably went into the house for warmth.

Several employees stopped in Arnold’s office to see the snake, and the chief put some leafy branches in the container. Jamie was turned over to the reptile expert about 3:30 p.m.

“We’ve dealt with some Brian Stanley – bstanley@shawmedia.com slithery characters in the past Wilmington Police Chief Phillip Arnold holds a female ball python that ... but not this type,” Arnold came inside a woman’s home Thursday morning. joked.

LOCAL NEWS Police: Joliet man sent nude photos to girl

NEW LENOX – Police said a Joliet man exchanged naked pictures online with a teenage girl.

Deshaunell D. Knight, 24, of the first block of North Cagwin Avenue, was arrested Wednesday on charges of possession of child Deshaunell pornography, D. Knight solicitation of a minor, grooming a minor for sexual purposes and distribution of harmful materials.

Joliet Deputy Chief Robert Pawlisz said police were

notified Aug. 5 that Knight and the girl had exchanged several emails.

“The subsequent investigation confirmed that Knight had sent the juvenile victim a picture of his genitals and he had received nude photos of the juvenile victim,” Pawlisz said.

After investigators used subpoenas to review records from phone and Internet companies, a warrant was issued for Knight’s arrest, Pawlisz said.

Joliet police: 70-year-old took stun gun to school JOLIET – A 72-year-old woman allegedly left a stun gun in her purse Tuesday while visiting Joliet Central High School.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said Rose Lanier arrived on campus shortly before 9 a.m. to register a family member for classes.

“She put her purse down for the security check, and they found a pink stun gun inside,” Gregory said.

Lanier allegedly told the school’s police officer she typically carries the Vipertek stun gun for her own protection and forgot about it.

“The officer didn’t believe there was any intent to bring the weapon into the school, but brandishing a concealed weapon in a school is a violation of city ordinance, and she was given a compliance ticket,” Gregory said.

Joliet police: Man choked argument ensued, and he pushed her back on the bed girlfriend at hotel JOLIET – A man allegedly throttled his girlfriend Wednesday night in a downtown Joliet hotel.

John C. Foster, 53, had been told by the 58-year-old woman and staff to stay off the premises of the John C. Plaza Hotel, 26 Foster W. Clinton St., according to Deputy Joliet Police Chief Ed Gregory. “[But] around 7 p.m. he knocked on the door of her room and came in saying he wanted to talk with her. An

and began choking her with both hands on her throat until she was unable to breathe,” Gregory said.

The victim was able to break Foster’s grip and ran downstairs to the lobby, Gregory said.

Officers found Foster at Clinton and Joliet streets, and arrested him after a brief struggle, Gregory said.

Foster, of the 300 block of Laurie Drive in Lockport, was booked into the Will County jail on charges of aggravated domestic battery, criminal trespassing and resisting arrest.

Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton testifies Thursday on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., before the House Benghazi Committee.

Under GOP grilling, Clinton seeks to close book on Benghazi

By BRADLEY KLAPPER and MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton strove to close the book on the worst episode of her tenure as secretary of state Thursday, battling Republican questions in a marathon hearing that grew contentious but revealed little new about the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. She firmly defended her record while seeking to avoid any mishap that might damage her presidential campaign.

Pressed about events before and after the deaths of four Americans, Clinton had confrontational exchanges with several GOP lawmakers but also fielded supportive queries from Democrats.

In the end, there were relatively few questions for the Democratic presidential front-runner about the specific events of Sept. 11, 2012, which Clinton said she continues to lose sleep over. The hearing ended at 9 p.m., some 11 hours after it began, with some of the fiercest arguments of the day as Clinton and the House Benghazi Committee’s

Republican chairman fought over the private email account she maintained as President Barack Obama’s chief diplomat.

“I came here because I said I would,” an exhausted Clinton told Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, her chief interrogator. “I tried to answer your questions. I cannot do any more than that.”

Gowdy declared after the end of the session: “We keep going on.”

He portrayed the investigation as a nonpartisan, fact-finding exercise although fellow Republicans recently described it as designed to hurt Clinton’s presidential bid. Democrats have pointed out that the probe has now cost U.S. taxpayers more than $4.5 million and, after 17 months, lasted longer than the 1970s Watergate investigation.

When Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, said the hearing wasn’t a prosecution, Rep. Adam Smith, a Washington Democrat, bluntly disagreed.

He told Clinton: “The purpose of this committee is to prosecute you.”

The appearance came at a

moment of political strength for Clinton. A day earlier, Vice President Joe Biden announced he would not compete with her in the presidential race. She also is riding the momentum of a solid debate performance last week.

For Clinton, the political theater of the hearing offered both opportunity and potential pitfalls. It gave her a high-profile platform to show her self-control and command of foreign policy. But it also left her vulnerable to claims that she helped politicize the Benghazi tragedy.

In one tense moment, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio accused her of deliberately misleading the public by linking the Benghazi violence at first to an Internet video insulting the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.

Clinton, stone-faced for much of the hearing, smiled in bemusement as Jordan cut her off from answering. Offered the chance to comment, she said “some” people had wanted to use the video to justify the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, and that she rejected that justification.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: SANDBURG 2, JOLIET WEST 0 (25-8, 25-18)

TOUGH START FOR TIGERS

Sandburg beats Joliet West to claim outright SWSC Blue title

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After seeing their hopes of playing for an outright conference title dashed Tuesday by Lockport, Joliet West’s girls volleyball team still had the opportunity to claim a share of the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue championship against Sandburg.

But just as important for coach Al Mart, as his squad prepares to kick off postseason play next week, was seeing the Tigers return to the way they have been performing during the season. However, in Thursday’s home finale, West got off to a poor start and struggled to hang with the Eagles, who went on to capture a 25-8, 25-18 win.

The Eagles (28-7, 7-0) rattled off 16 straight points to remove any doubt in the opener, and then jumped out to a 13-7 lead in the finale and never let the Tigers (28-6, 5-2) get any closer than three points the rest of the way.

“The kids have to understand their roles and play them,” Mart said. “When you’re struggling like that and kids aren’t doing their roles and others are trying to do too much, then it becomes a snowball. You have to understand your game plan and what you’re doing going into a match like this and be prepared.

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Camiros will present a youth-oriented plan Monday for downtown revitalization.

The plan will be presented at 5:30 p.m. at a special meeting of the Joliet City Council.

The city hired Camiros, a Chicago-based planning consultant, in early 2014 to develop a strategy for downtown development.

“We’ll be presenting our key strategy – making downtown a mecca for young adults,” said Bill James, a consultant with Camiros.

Details of the plan will be presented at the meeting.

James said the plan will be practical, offering a strategy

DEVELOPMENT OF DOWNTOWN PLAN November 2013: Joliet invites contractors to submit proposals for downtown development plan.

January 2014: Six finalists, chosen from 13 contractors that submitted proposals, present ideas.

March 2014: City hires Camiros for $125,000.

November 2014: Camiros invites public and business owners to meeting seeking their ideas for development plan.

Monday: Camiros presents its downtown development plan at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 150 W. Jefferson St. for carrying out the vision that came out of the study.

“Overall, I’d like to emphasize building consensus and moving forward with the plan,” he said. “Recognizing challenges will be a key component.”

The city last developed a plan for downtown redevelop-

ment in the early 1990s.

The area has seen some development since, especially with the arrival of Harrah’s Casino. The city built Silver Cross Field in 2002. Joliet Junior College is completing a new building downtown, and the city is working on a new transportation center for

Blain’s Farm and Fleet set to anchor key Romeoville corner 122,000-square-foot facility located at Airport and Weber roads to start construction in 2016

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Blain’s Farm and Fleet will anchor a commercial development on the southeast corner of Airport and Weber roads in Romeoville, with construction set to begin next spring.

The discount retailer is opening its 37th location, and first in Will County, with a 122,000-square-foot building on 29 acres.

“Blain’s brings a new market to that intersection,” Mayor John Noak said. “They sell a lot of products that residents can’t buy in this community.”

Blain’s sells items including clothing, home improvement materials and farming supplies.

The store, which will incorporate sustainable elements into its design, will employ more than 100 associates. The development includes up to

“It’s key to have that anchor because it allows for the infrastructure to be put in place. ” John Noak Romeoville mayor seven retail outlots.

“They purchased the whole corner,” Noak said. “It’s key to have that anchor because it allows for the infrastructure to be put in place. It’s also a new generation of store for them, with a new look rolling out.”

Noak said the southeast corner of Airport and Weber has “a lot of hurdles” to overcome before breaking ground.

The site is east across Weber Road from Wal-Mart and south of the Target shopping center across Airport Road.

Concept plans for the proj-

“We’ll be presenting our key strategy – making downtown a mecca for young adults.”

Bill James Consultant with Camiros trains and buses.

But private business development has been spotty.

“The camaraderie with this senior group has been unbelievable. I’ve kept them together as

In the opener, the Eagles led, 5-3, when Anna Jonynas (nine kills) got a kill to start the 16-0

run. Gillian Thanasouras (six kills, two aces) proceeded to serve up 15-straight points to remove any doubts in that set.

A kill by Allison Nagel (six kills) gave Sandburg a 13-7 advantage in the second set. An ace by Areli Hernandez and a kill and a block from Lauren Stefanski (four kills) helped the Tigers pull to within three points on three different occasions.

After Jonynas had a series of kills to help her team take a 1913 lead, a pair of hitting errors followed by a kill from Allison Persicketti cut the Tigers’ deficit to 19-16. But Sandburg ended on a strong note, closing things out with kills by Thanasouras and Jonynas.

West also got three kills and nine assists from Shannon Doran while Nicole Ochs had nine digs. Sandburg received 22 assists from Emily Makina and nine digs from Morgan Kmak.

Several area teams in near-miss category Coming Sunday

VIEWS

A breakdown of which area teams are in the playoffs, which class they are in, what they are seeded and who their firstround opponent will be.

Dick Goss Lockport, Plainfield East and Morris could win their football games Friday night and finish 4-5.

If Joliet West, Lincoln-Way Central and Bolingbrook lose their games – and that could happen – they will finish 4-5.

If Minooka beats Plainfield North and finishes 5-4, the Indians still are not likely to qualify for the playoffs because of a shortage of playoff points (opponent victories).

Every year, while focusing on area teams that reach the playoffs, we also cite those that narrowly miss. It usually comes down to one or two games they feel they really should have won.

That’s the cruel, fine line between being a playoff team or not.

This year, it appears there could be more near-misses in the area than usual. That is the reason for the final tally of qualifiers – which, at this point, appears it will be eight or nine – being lower than normal.

Lockport has to be kicking itself.

Had the Porters not lost games to Downers Grove North, Minooka and Sandburg, all of which they were right there to get, they could have been playoff-bound, regardless of Friday night’s outcome against Joliet West.

In fact, many observers feel Lockport is the favorite in that one. I see it as a tight game and am giving West the nod in no small part because the Tigers are desperate. They must win to reach the playoffs. Freshman Jaxon Aubry has done a good job filling in at quarterback for Alex Tibble after he was

Yes, in this playoff system, every game matters. If it’s not making or missing the playoffs by one game, it’s getting a first-round home game or not, or avoiding a high seed or not, at least in the opening round.

GIRLS TENNIS: STATE TOURNAMENT

JCA’s Bertino, Bauer-Hutchison off to 3-0 starts STAFF REPORTS

BUFFALO GROVE – Joliet Catholic Academy senior Nina Bertino won her first three singles matches while junior teammates Maddie Bauer and McCoy Hutchison did the same in doubles to wrap up Thursday’s opening-round play in the girls state tennis tournament.

As a result, they advanced to the round of 16.

They return to action Friday with Bertino facing Niles North’s Michelle Bacalla and Hutchison-Bauer taking on Lyons’ Stefana Vasic-Laha-

ri Yelamanchili. Last year, Bertino and the JCA doubles team won their first two and finished 3-2.

Bertino only dropped three games in her first two matches before beating Glenbard West’s Caroline Maltby, 6-3, 6-3, in the third round. Bauer and Hutchison lost two games in their opening two matches before rallying for a 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 win over Stevenson’s Alexandra Zoubareva and Elizabeth Ferdman.

Several other players opened with two wins before falling in the third round.

Joliet Township’s Eileen Car-

ney dropped three games in her opening set, then didn’t drop another until falling 6-0, 6-3 to New Trier’s Cammy Frei.

Plainfield North’s Gabby Ochalik was involved in three straight 6-1, 6-0 matches, winning the first two before losing to Hinsdale Central’s Isabella Lorenzini. The Tigers’ doubles squad of Meg Chadick and Kendall Junger won its opener, lost one and won two more.

Providence Catholic’s Hannah Davis rallied for a 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 win to get off to a 2-0 start but then dropped a 6-1, 6-1 de-

cision to Latin’s Alessandra Bianco.

Lockport’s Tomi Jo Mansel dropped her opener, then bounced back with two wins in consolation play before being ousted, 6-2, 6-2 by Hallie Lablebijian of Lane Tech. The Porters’ doubles team of Hailey Bruining and Mary Kate Bucheitt alternated wins and losses, finishing 2-2 and being eliminated in a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Molly Rueth-Molly Hughes of Glenbard West.

For Morris, Megan Davy won her opening match before dropping the next two while Emma Dingbaum and

the doubles team of Alyssa Larsen and Autumn See both went 0-2.

Coal City’s Carli McGinn went 1-2 while the Coalers’ doubles team of Kaily Albrecht-Katie McGinn lost both of its matches.

Lemont’s doubles team of Ashley Mathews and Gabby Rabianski posted a 1-2 mark while the Indians’ Grace Horky lost her two matches.

Lincoln-Way East’s Jade Christensen and Kayla Reda posted a 1-2 mark while Lincoln-Way West’s Gianna Delia and Olivia Judge fell in their two matches.

ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

Adding Hood no surprise, cutting Ratliff is LAKE FOREST – When I arrived about 12:50 p.m.

Wednesday at Halas Hall shortly after Bears practice had ended, I walked past defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff and another man I did not recognize having a controlled but very animated conversation on the side of the road alongside the parking lot.

Actually, it was Ratliff who was animated, while his mystery companion appeared to be just listening and acknowledging Ratliff’s thoughts. Now I know what the conversation probably was about, and it appears Ratliff, who was released by the team Thursday, was talking with one of the Bears’ senior security people.

Ratliff is a good football player, team leader, standup guy and a bright and honest interview. But this is a move that obviously goes much deeper than that.

The Bears were dangerously thin on the defensive line before Ego Ferguson went down for the season with his knee injury. With Ferguson out, the Bears had to add a player who could step in right now and eat minutes and make plays, so there is nothing shocking

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush about the decision to add Ziggy Hood. He’s a former first-round pick of the Steelers who can log minutes both on the nose and at the five-technique and should be a nice addition as a fourth or fifth down lineman.

What is surprising is the Bears chose to clear the roster spot by cutting Ratliff, leaving them extremely thin up front.

Although Ratliff is 34 years old, he played his best football as a Bear between Weeks 7 and 13 last year, and it’s hard to know how much he does or doesn’t have left, having played only the past two games after serving a three-game suspension and rehabbing a severe ankle sprain to start the season.

Reports of Ratliff’s unhappiness with his release could have something to do with the fact he’s still not 100 percent healthy on that bum ankle or the neck injury he suffered late in Sunday’s loss to the Lions. Remember, Ratliff went to four Pro Bowls with the Cowboys but even-

tually was released under acrimonious circumstances when the two sides couldn’t agree on the status and rehab of a groin injury.

Or, this could be the first clear and obvious move the Bears have made toward rebuilding, with Hood at 28 being 5½ years younger than Ratliff. Hood never has been the player Ratliff is, but he is solid and a lot more likely to be comfortable sharing time on the defensive line with younger players.

A big part of this move surrounds the fact Eddie Goldman has played well to date, but has remained behind Ratliff on the depth chart. General manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox appear to believe it’s time for Goldman to step into the starting lineup and see just how quickly he develops and how good he can be. That will be a lot more comfortable in the huddle and the locker room with the newbie, Hood, backing him up than it would be with the team’s elder statesman on defense told to step back and support the rookie taking his job.

There are really no negatives with Hood, but it is worrisome that a trend could be developing here. Along

with LaRoy Reynolds and Chris Prosinski, Hood is the third Jacksonville Jaguars cast-off the Bears have claimed.

Perhaps Pace just disagrees with Jacksonville’s young general manager, David Caldwell, and believes he has a better eye for talent than he does. But the fact Pace continues to try to upgrade his roster with players deemed expendable by the worst team in the NFL has raised a few eyebrows around the league.

In fairness to Pace, Reynolds and Prosinski clearly were brought in for special-teams duty and are understandable moves.

Hood’s availability, if he can contribute, is a bit more puzzling.

It will be interesting to see whether Ratliff lands with another team or whether this is, in fact, the end of a career for him.

As much as any move made to date, this is Pace stepping out and putting his own stamp on this roster.

Jeremiah Ratliff was released by the Bears on Thursday. The Bears signed former first-round pick Ziggy Hood.

CHAMPAIGN – Standout receiver Mike Dudek probably will not play this season, Illinois interim coach Bill Cubit said Monday. And he isn’t sure when starting running back Josh Ferguson will return.

Dudek is at best two weeks away from being healthy after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in April, Cubit said. At that point, the Illini (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) would only have four regular-season games left.

“I don’t think it’s going to happen, I’ll be perfectly honest with you,” Cubit said, though he added no decision has been made about red-shirting the sophomore.

As a freshman last year, Dudek led Illinois with 76 catches for 1,038 yards. When he injured his knee, thencoach Tim Beckman said there was a chance Dudek might return in October.

Receiver Justin Hardee, who was expected to be a regular along with Dudek, remains doubtful for Saturday’s game against Wisconsin (5-2, 2-1), Cubit said. Hardee has been out all season with a broken foot.

In the absence of Dudek and Hardee, senior Geronimo Allison has been the go-to receiver for quarterback Wes Lunt, with 40 catches for 601 yards. No one else on the team has more than 22 catches or 194 yards. Lunt said if the Illini are going to continue to be able to move the ball in the air, other, mostly younger receivers will need to play bigger roles in the offense.

Ferguson, a Joliet Catholic grad, is questionable for Saturday with the right-shoulder sprain suffered Oct. 3 against Nebraska.

“He’s got to feel comfortable,” Cubit said, explaining he didn’t want to play Ferguson if there’s a serious chance he could re-aggravate the injury. “[Running backs] get hit on almost every single play.”

Cubs won’t be losers for much longer CHICAGO – Most years, a night this warm this late in October would feel like a gift. This year, because of a young Cubs team that fought off hibernation until the next-to-last possible moment, it turned out to be more of a mixed blessing.

The closest thing to a hometown celebration Wednesday night lasted all of a half-minute. It came while the Mets still were celebrating themselves, spilling out of the visiting dugout nearly a half-hour after completing a four-game sweep in the NLCS with an 8-3 win.

Across the field, the Cubs emerged from their dugout a few players at a time, tentative at first, and then turned to face the half-empty grandstands. Some of the players embraced and several doffed their caps in the direction of the remaining fans. More came running up from the concourse as word spread the team was taking a bow.

Quickly, rhythmically, “Let’s Go Cubbies” began echoing back in their direction.

In the locker room moments later, someone asked rookie Kyle Schwarber whether losing the series made it easier to understand the century-and-counting gloom that Cubs fans insist hangs over the north side of town like a

VIEWS Jim Litke permanent storm cloud. He seemed genuinely perplexed.

“It’s hard to feel like losers,” said Schwarber, who hit five home runs in the postseason, “because we did plenty of winning. I feel like the fans – and just about everyone else in baseball – should be proud of what we did.

“We’re trying to instill a new culture in Chicago, and that’s winning baseball. Now we know what it takes to get here,” he added. “A lot of us are going to remember what it feels like.”

The culture shift began with the hiring of manager Joe Maddon and took hold faster than anyone could have imagined. A team that lost an average of 93 games each of the past five seasons won 97 in what turned out to be the toughest division in baseball.

They watched Kris Bryant evolve into an almost-certain Rookie of Year and starter Jake Arrieta into a Cy Young award contender.

“I want them to understand and embrace all that they have done well this year,” Maddon began. “Just don’t look at these last couple

“Guys showed they were willing to sacrifice for each other, willing to grind out at-bats, whether we were up four (runs) or down four. ...

We didn’t get as far as we wanted to, but we learned how to really win. Guys will come in here next season,” Lester said finally, “and expect to be in this position.”

Mets soar into stratosphere on Murphy’s unearthly bat

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press NEW YORK – In the 1960s, the idea of the Mets winning a World Series was as farfetched as man walking on the moon. Just 88 days after Neil Armstrong took his giant leap, the Amazin’s were champions.

Now Tyler Clippard is convinced an extraterrestrial has led the Mets back to the Fall Classic.

“He’s not human. He’s not on this planet right now,” Clippard said about Daniel Murphy. “Another life form jumped into his body.”

Heading into a World Se-

ries matchup that opens in Kansas City or Toronto on Tuesday night, it seems as if it is in the stars whenever the Mets are successful.

In 1969, there were hardto-fathom catches by Tommy Agee and Ron Swoboda in the Series against Baltimore.

Cleon Jones reached first base on a hit batsman call during a Game 5 rally when manager Gil Hodges showed a ball with shoe polish to an umpire.

In 1986, there was Mookie Wilson’s grounder that went through Bill Buckner’s legs at first base to cap a three-run, 10th-inning rally in Game 6 against Boston after the Mets were twice down to their sea-

son’s final strike.

Now there’s Murphy, who has seven home runs in nine playoff games, setting a major league record by going deep in each of his past six.

His first-inning home run in Game 2 against the Cubs was on a pitch a Lilliputian 1.064 feet above the ground, according to MLB’s Pitch f/x system.

Only one home run in the entire major leagues this year came on a ball hit lower.

“This is special. This is special. I can’t stop saying it,” captain David Wright exclaimed. “The ’69 Mets, the ’86 Mets, the 2000 Mets – we are amongst the best Mets teams to ever play, and I couldn’t be

more proud.”

New York’s players arrived back at Citi Field at 3:30 p.m.

Thursday, two motorcycle police in front and two more behind the team’s two buses.

Standing about 150 feet from the auto chop shops across the street from right field, about 50 fans greeted the team in the parking lot.

Long the second team in town, the Mets won their fifth pennant to the Yankees’ 40. They were nicknamed the Amazin’ Mets by Casey Stengel, their first manager, and became the upstarts, first at the Polo Grounds for their first two seasons, then at windy Shea Stadium from

1964-2008. Jane Jarvis played the organ, Ralph Kiner, Bob Murphy and Lindsey Nelson entertained fans in the broadcast booth, the Rheingold jingle played at the ballpark and Karl Ehrhardt lauded players with homemade signs from 1964-81. “THERE ARE NO WORDS” was his message after Jones caught the final out against the Orioles.

The Tom Seaver-Jerry Koosman-Gary Gentry Miracle Mets of 1969 morphed into Tug McGraw’s Ya Gotta Believe Mets of 1973, who lost a seven-game World Series against Oakland.

SPORTS BRIEF

25

CHICAGO – Patrick Kane and Brent Seabrook each had a goal and two assists, and the Blackhawks beat the Florida Panthers, 3-2, on Thursday night in their first game since top defenseman Duncan Keith had right knee surgery.

Artem Anisimov also scored for the Stanley Cup champions, and Corey Crawford made 16 saves while improving to 5-1 in seven career starts against Florida.

Keith had a meniscal tear repaired Tuesday, sidelining the two-time Norris Trophy winner for four to six weeks.

It could be a huge blow for the Hawks, who already were thin on defense, but they responded with a smart, measured performance on the first night of Keith’s extended absence.

Jaromir Jagr and Vincent Trocheck scored for Florida, which has dropped three in a row. Roberto Luongo made 24 saves.

Dodgers, Mattingly part ways manager Farhan Zaidi parroted the same vacuous message.

“It was kind of organic,” Friedman said. “It just kind of crystalized that is something that potentially made a lot of sense.”

Before they came to that conclusion, the parties discussed extending Mattingly’s contract beyond next year, its final season.

“When we Don Mattingly started on Friday we expected him to be our manager in 2016,” Friedman said. “I think that was his thought process, also.”

But something clearly changed as the discussions wore on. Exactly what it was neither side would specify.

“It came back to this was the right time and right thing,” Mattingly said. “Andrew, Farhan and Josh (Byrnes) are great guys and they’re going to do great things. The organiza-

By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Don Mattingly and the Los Angeles Dodgers stuck to their scripts Thursday, insisting they agreed to a mutual parting of the ways while never revealing the exact reason he won’t return as manager.

Like a publicist announcing the demise of a Hollywood marriage, the parties insisted the split was amicable. Mattingly even suggested he “will be friends like forever” with his former bosses.

“I don’t really want to get into details of our conversations. They were good conversations, they were open and they were honest,” Mattingly said by phone from his offseason home in Evansville, Indiana. “It just became evident that this was the best thing for both parties.”

At Dodger Stadium, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and general

tion is in great shape.”

Mattingly said he felt wanted, his players backed him, and Friedman and Zaidi expressed their respect and admiration for him, making it all the more puzzling why he’s walking away from a storied organization that boasts baseball’s highest payroll.

Neither side shed any light to help the franchise’s longtime fans understand the move.

“If there is a reason that this happened, we would share it,” Friedman said. “It’s not so black-and-white here. There’s a huge middle, and it’s gray there. We’re not hiding anything. It really is how things played out.”

Los Angeles was 446-363 in five years under Mattingly, finishing with a winning record in every season and claiming the past three NL West titles. But the Dodgers have not reached the World Series since winning the championship in 1988.

• METS Continued from page 24 After a lean decade, the Doc, Straw, Keith and The Kid team won a seven-game classic against the Red Sox in 1986, and a Mike Piazza-led team lost a five-game Subway Series to the Yankees in 2000.

Then, after another trough that included multimillions in losses incurred by owners in the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, they are back in the Series led by a brash young pitching staff that includes Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom and Steven Matz, a group whose 147 regular-season career starts easily would be the fewest for a Series foursome, according to STATS.

Add in Wilmer Flores’ crying on the field in July when he thought he’d been traded to Milwaukee, Bartolo Colon’s entertaining at-bats and behind-the-backflip toss and Yoenis Cespedes’ stimulating speed and sock, and the Mets transformed from routine to riveting.

“It was a long time coming,” said Wright, who signed with the Mets as an 18-year-old in 2001, made his big league debut three years later and was appointed captain in 2013.

“We’ve been through some bad times. We’ve been through Septembers where you’re just playing out the schedule, and that’s no fun. To be able to completely reverse that 180 and now celebrate and get the chance to go the World Series, I wish I could bottle it up.”

Heading into the always-unpredictable Chicago-area winter and buying a new vehicle in the same timeframe can be a challenge, unless the 2015 Jeep Renegade is at or near the top of the list.

Jeep’s first entry into the compact SUV market is a balanced boon to commuters, around-town drivers and off-season travelers. It can negotiate tight city streets and parking spaces, inspire confidence on the interstates with Jeep sure-footedness, and handle a reasonable load for errands and trips.

Jeep had all that in mind when it leveraged 4-by-4 technology from the legendary Cherokee, while still leaving buyers the choice of a two-wheel driver in a compact package.

Renegade is available in Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk models, and 4x2 or 4x4 configurations (except Trailhawk, a 4x4 only). The two available 4x4 systems are Jeep Active Drive, which is full-time 4x4, and Jeep Active Drive Low, a class-exclusive full-time 4x4 with a 20:1 crawl ratio.

Both have the Jeep Selec-Terrain system, with a choice of four mode choices (Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud) and a fifth (Rock) for Trailhawk.

OPINION

ANOTHER VIEW

Afghan realities intrude again

President Barack Obama has decided to hand off the nation’s longest-running war to his successor by retaining roughly 5,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan through the remainder of his term in office ending Jan. 20, 2017. That force represents more soldiers than he planned to keep in that embattled land, but fewer than his generals say is needed.

Will this number be adequate to prevent a further deterioration of the Afghan security picture?

Clearly, a lot will depend on the Afghans.

Even so, Obama has repeatedly set troop ceilings for the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan without reference to what the Pentagon calls “facts on the ground.” As the drawdowns he has ordered since 2012 have taken place, the Taliban, still covertly supported by its allies in Pakistan, have made gains against the U.S.-backed government.

About 9,800 U.S. troops are in Afghanistan today, the remnants of a force of more than 100,000 Obama dispatched to Afghanistan in 2010. They have three missions: train, equip and support Afghan security forces, undertake independent counter-terror missions and protect themselves and U.S. diplomatic and foreign assistance establishments from peril.

The president has not changed these missions, but has decided they can be performed by an ever-smaller force.

Still, recent Taliban gains appear to have persuaded Obama that his earlier plan to withdraw all but 1,000 American military personnel from Afghanistan next year was too risky.

Even the current number appears insufficient for the mission. Thus, further reduction will put the remaining U.S. troops at greater risk.

Taliban’s backers in neighboring Pakistan, Iran and Russia.

In addition, the Islamic State (ISIS) has been making gains in Afghanistan.

The U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Campbell, had requested there be no more troop drawdowns until the security situation is stabilized.

But Obama decided to make a 40 percent reduction in their number.

Retired Army Gen. Jack Keane, an architect of the successful Iraq “surge” in 2007, said the president “still does not listen to his combat field general.”

Of course, Obama faces tough calls on Afghanistan – as will his White House successor. And listening to military commanders doesn’t require agreeing with them on every point.

But as Obama’s decision to pull out of Iraq shows, abandoning difficult missions too soon can be risky and create even greater future costs. The Pentagon had recommended that 20,000 U.S. troops be kept in Iraq, but Obama rejected this advice.

Now Iraq is in the midst of a new war provoked by ISIS, which Obama once dismissed as the junior varsity to al-Qaida’s varsity. And some U.S. forces have been sent back to that wartorn country.

The president’s decision to keep the glass half full in Afghanistan could be a signal he is no longer guided wholly by wishful thinking about the Afghan mission.

And while the American people are understandably weary of this protracted campaign, Afghan-based terror remains a proven threat that must be countered by this president – and the next one.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Recall state politicians

Let’s have a recall election and replace all of them.

Well, in that case the builder should retain ownership of the school land and other infrastructure. Who can borrow money cheaper, the government by a bond issue or a mortgage borrower? Are we trying to thwart development or promote it? What’s wrong with a special taxing district for new development?

Modeling for a lofty cause Annual luncheon, fashion show raises thousands of dollars for Joliet hospice

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Jackie Bersano’s introduction to Joliet Area Community Hospice was not through a loved one using its services, as is the case with many people.

Instead, a hospice guild member had invited Bersano to the guild’s annual luncheon and fashion show. Bersano attended and enjoyed it, which led her – now director of development at JACH – to become a volunteer and work in the hospice’s gardens.

“It was a nice way to kick off the holidays, get all dressed up with other women and have a lovely lunch, and they had such pretty models,” Bersano said. “The next year I asked, ‘Can I come again?’ ” Bersano said the annual event – now in its 28th year – is one of JACH’s main fundraisers. About 300 to 400 women attend each year, and proceeds net about $30,000, which goes into hospice’s general fund, Bersano said.

“Puttin on the Glitz” will be Nov. 8 at the Patrick Haley Mansion in Joliet, a new venue for the event, said Jeanette D’Arcy, co-chairman.

Features include cocktails, lunch and 20 women modeling new fashions for fall and winter.

In the past, the style show was held at the Joliet Junior College Renaissance Center in Joliet. In honor of the change, D’Arcy said, models will walk among the guests instead of using a runway.

“There will be no bad seats; everyone will be able to see,” said D’Arcy, one of the original guild members.

“They’ll [the models] walk down the aisles where the tables are.”

In addition to the annual style show, the guild also hosts a spring card party that

Program aims to reduce illiteracy, increase graduation rate

By FELIX SARVER

Nadean Sims (right) helps Janice Porter, 9, with her math homework Thursday at the Forest Park Community Center in Joliet.

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A community center in the northeast side of Joliet wants to expand its homework assistance program to help high school students.

Forest Park Community Center Executive Director Bettye Gavin said she has been collaborating with Joliet Township District 204 to provide transportation for high school students to the center so they can have more time to receive homework help.

She plans to either use vans donated by the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office to pick up the students or extend the center’s hours.

“It takes all of us working collaboratively together to make an impact and to be able to assist our students as their needs occur,” she said.

The homework assistance program at Forest Park Community Center aims to affect the homework completion rate for students. Students as young as 6 come to the center for help.

The program also assists students in areas in their learning where they may be lagging.

“Literacy is our biggest component, because we feel literacy plays a major part in the success rate of our students,” Gavin said. “Statistics show as well that probably 80 percent of our social ills is due to illiteracy.”

Tutor Mattie Barnes, one of several tutors at the center, said she reinforces what the teachers are teaching.

Reading is an important aspect of the center’s educational assistance, she said.

Children in the homework assistance program at the center are constantly read-

“Even after they say they read them already, we tell them to read it again,” Barnes said. “[Reading] is the underpinning of their growth.”

Gavin said the homework assistance program aims to not only increase the homework completion rate but, in turn, increase the graduation rate while decreasing the

dropout rate of students.

Besides the program, Gavin also is trying to recruit high school seniors in need of community service hours to come to the center for an hour or two to help out with the homework assistance program. Other educators or community members can volunteer as well, she said.

“We’re opening that thing up,” she said.

In March, the center obtained two GMC vans as part of a partnership involving the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office, the Joliet Police Department and auto dealer Terry D’Arcy. The vans were purchased with drug asset seizure money – using money seized from criminal activity for the community good.

The state’s attorney’s office also has used that funding for vans for the Spanish Community Center and the Veterans Assistance Commission of Will County.

State’s attorney’s office spokesman Charles Pelkie said the partnership among agencies to provide youths more opportunities can help areas of the city where there is gang activity.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

There were three; but where was four?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Chris Abani, a Nigerian-American author, said, “I have to have three or four books going simultaneously. If I’m not impressed in the first 20 pages, I don’t bother reading the rest, especially with novels.”

When you are defending against four of a major, you need four tricks to defeat the contract. As soon as you can see three winners, however unimpressed you are with your chances of a fourth trick, do not stop hunting for that vital extra winner.

In today’s deal, look first at the West hand.

He is defending against four spades. Guided by his partner’s response, West leads his singleton heart.

East wins with the jack and cashes the heart ace. What should West do now?

West had a normal three-diamond opening bid. North had a textbook takeout double. Then East had an interesting problem. He had a fit for partner and a side-suit singleton, which suggested that a sacrifice might be profitable.

But, by responding three hearts, he decided to indicate what rated to be the best lead for his partner. Then, he judged well not to sacrifice in five diamonds, which would have been doubled and set two, minus 500. Also, South correctly jumped to four spades with a hand worth an opening bid.

At trick two, West should hope that he has two discards to make; and if so, he should see how to defeat the contract. He pitches first the club nine, then the club two – high-low with a doubleton and asking partner to shift to that suit. Then, as long as East is watching, he will lead a club at trick four, which West will ruff to defeat the contract.

you can hang in there for six to 18 hours, the craving will eventually go away.

• If you feel tense, try meditation, deep breathing or yoga.

• Begin an exercise program. It will relieve tension, promote good sleep and help control weight gain. Walking for 30 minutes a day can really help. Many of my patients have told me that regular moderate exercise • particularly at times when they felt cravings • was extremely helpful.

• Stay away from situations where you will be with smokers or exposed to secondhand smoke.

• Avoid foods, beverages and situations that you strongly associate with having cigarettes.

Typical examples include drinking alcohol, having a cup of coffee and going out to a bar.

• When you feel the urge to smoke, replace it with several deep, slow breaths followed by a drink of water.

• Do not get discouraged if your first attempt is not successful. Realize that most successful ex-smokers quit for good only after several attempts.

• If you slip and have a cigarette, make a decision to quit again immediately.

• Some people find that alternative therapies, such as hypnosis or acupuncture, can help.

So although it is not easy to do, you can quit smoking: There are more ex-smokers in the United States today than there are smokers.

Dear Dr. K: I’m doing my best to quit smoking, but I am really struggling with the symptoms of withdrawal. Do you have any advice?

Dear Reader: You’re not alone. Beating an addiction is not easy, but you can do it. And there are new treatments today that make it easier to do.

Physical withdrawal symptoms make stopping any addictive drug uncomfortable. Nicotine – the addictive drug in tobacco – is one of the most difficult to beat. Withdrawal symptoms are the reason many people don’t manage to quit smoking.

These include intense cravings, irritability, fatigue and inability to concentrate. They can begin within a few hours of the last cigarette. (On my website, AskDoctorK. com, I’ve put a list of the most common withdrawal symptoms and ways to cope with them.)

It might help to know that withdrawal symptoms are worst during the first two or three days after quitting. Remind yourself that if you make it over this initial hurdle, you’ve already done the hardest part. Your symptoms will gradually improve over the next month or more.

When you start to crave a cigarette, try to wait out the urge by distracting yourself or taking a brisk walk. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can also help you get through the cravings.

Nicotine replacement products are available as patches, gums, nasal sprays, inhalers and lozenges. Two medications, varenicline (Chantix) and bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban) decrease the craving for nicotine and also decrease withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor about these drugs.

Here are some more tips for preventing and dealing with urges: • When you feel the urge to smoke, delay. If

Dear Abby: My daughter and her husband are divorced, and I take care of their twin daughters after school. I love the girls and treasure the time I get to spend with them.

Their parents’ combined income is more than $120,000.

I am on a fixed income and ask for only $10 per day (plus $10 a week for gas) so I can take the girls places like the zoo or an occasional movie (which usually costs more than I am given). I feed them one meal a day on this budget as well.

Whenever discussions about money occur, the ex-husband repeatedly tells my daughter he thinks it’s “offensive” that a grandparent charges money to watch the grandchildren. He uses it as a tactic to threaten to not pay for other needed expenses. How do I tell him I think he’s out of line for making me feel bad for requesting the money? – Stunned and Hurt

Dear Stunned and Hurt:

The Argyle Sweater

Real Life Adventures

Your former son-in-law may have some bitterness because of the divorce. Whatever his reason, his children should not suffer for it. Frankly, he should be ashamed of himself.

If he raises the subject of being “offended” with you, remind him in PLAIN ENGLISH that you are on a limited income, food is expensive and if the money wasn’t NEEDED you wouldn’t ask for it. It’s the truth. It’s nothing to be ashamed of and certainly not offensive.

Let’s do the math: Your granddaughters go to school five days a week; that’s $50, plus $10 a week for gas. That’s $60! If they were in day care instead of being looked after by you, the cost would be many times that amount.

Dear Abby: I am an executive assistant. A few years ago, my boss passed away after a long illness. My 13

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips years with her accounted for the longest consistent span of my career, and for obvious reasons, I was not able to get a letter of recommendation. It was difficult applying for jobs without being able to provide a first-hand reference from my longest employer.

I am now happily employed, but I worry sometimes about what if it happens again. My current boss is in his early 50s, but not in the best health. I have no intention of going anywhere, and I don’t want to send him the wrong signal, but I’m wondering if it would be inappropriate to ask him for a reference letter, just to make sure I don’t find myself in the same situation again.

BTW, he knows about my former situation, so I think he would understand, but I’m not sure. – Executive Assis-

tant in Georgia Dear Executive Assistant:

I’m sorry about the death of your former employer, but your lack of a letter of reference should not have prevented you from finding another job. Your length of employment should have been proof enough that you were an asset to the company.

I do not think it would be a good idea to approach your boss about giving you a letter of reference for a couple of reasons. First, it might be regarded as a signal that you are not happy with your job.

And second, because of fear of litigation, many employers today are reluctant to give out any information about an employee other than the length of time the person worked for the company.

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Be a leader, not a follower. A charitable cause or organization will help you raise awareness about something that concerns you and will give you the platform to present what you have to offer. Patience and grace under pressure will be great assets.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t join the fight when you can become the mediator. You have the ability to say the right thing in order to defuse a volatile situation and resolve sensitive issues with compassion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Overspending will put your budget in jeopardy. Don’t try to buy your

way into someone’s heart. Your time and attention are what will bring the best rewards.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will be tense and stressed out. A physical activity will help you burn off steam. Go to the gym or pool and put your excess energy to good use.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Others will consider your help meddling by another name. Keep your opinions to yourself in order to avoid a rift.

Romance will improve your personal life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Change is in the air.

You have fabulous ideas that will help streamline or modernize your job. Convince colleagues to join you, and present your concepts to those in charge.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A relationship will

turn turbulent. Remember that it takes two to argue. Make amends if you have been too demanding or stubborn. Don’t say something you’ll regret.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – If you have been spending too much time on your career lately, getting together with friends will remind you how to have fun. Make time for the people who mean the most to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Financial security and risk-taking will not be compatible. Do your research carefully before you spend your hardearned cash. Opt for a conservative investment you can count on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Listen to what others have to say. Don’t judge someone based on hear-

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Get out and socialize if you crave excitement. Take part in community events in order to meet a wide assortment of people you will enjoy spending time with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – It’s OK to think big, but keep matters in perspective. Take small steps if you want to reach your destination. Frustration will develop if you try to do too much at once.

Amazon opening in Joliet boosts local job growth

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Holiday hiring in the Joliet area will be highlighted by the arrival of the Amazon fulfillment center.

The company already hired more than 1,000 workers before opening Oct. 7 and plans to hire hundreds more in the coming weeks for the holiday season.

The Joliet fulfillment center, part of the pipeline for delivering merchandise to Amazon customers worldwide, is likely to be busy for the holidays.

It carries the kind of products many shoppers will buy for gifts.

The facility “processes small items, like books and DVDs and toys,” said Amazon spokeswoman Nina Lindsey.

“In the next several weeks, we’ll be hiring hundreds for seasonal jobs,” Lindsey said. “That’s work for the very busy holiday season.”

Seattle-based Amazon.com Inc. announced this week it will add 100,000

seasonal employees for the holiday season throughout its network of fulfillment centers in the United States.

The new jobs for Joliet come as unemployment rates already are heading downward.

The September unemployment rate in Joliet was 5.7 percent, compared to 6.6 percent in August and 7.2 percent in September 2014, according to numbers released Thursday by the Illinois Department of Employment.

In Will County, unemployment was at 4.9 percent, compared to 5.6 percent in August and 6.3 percent in September 2014.

Similar downward trends in unemployment rates were seen in other cities and counties across Illinois.

Amazon’s arrival in Joliet is likely to have an impact beyond adding hundreds of jobs, said Pat Fera, director of the Workforce Investment Board of Will County.

Amazon pay, ranging between $13.50 and $15 an hour, is “kind of on

the high end” for logistics companies in the area, Fera said. Other employers may have to pay more to keep employees, she said.

“We think it’s going to start pushing up wages for other employees in logistics as well,” Fera said.

Employment in Will County is healthy, she said.

“We’ve seen almost 10,000 jobs in the last 12 months alone, which is about 3 percent job growth,” she said.

“That’s really strong. That’s higher than the Chicago metropolitan region and the state.”

Job growth is “across the board,” Fera said. “It’s not just in logistics.”

But Amazon is getting lots of attention because of the sheer number of jobs coming to one location.

Amazon joins a list of companies that have attracted attention from job seekers not just in Will County but in other areas as well, said John Greuling, chief executive officer for the Will County Center for Economic Development.

“I think anytime you have a company that brings in 1,000 new jobs, obviously it has an impact on the local workforce,” Greuling said. “But in our case, it’s a regional workforce, because our workforce not only comes from inside Will County but also outside of Will County.”

Big, aged cottonwood tree comes down in Joliet Twp. ‘It’s one of the biggest ones we’ve taken down’

The tree was recognizable enough in the Ridgewood area that one of Gordon’s neighbors once entered it in Joliet’s annual Big Tree Contest. Gordon said he heard it came in third among cottonwoods.

The tree was strong enough that his brother used to loop a metal chain around a branch to lift engines out of cars on which he was working.

“We had a tire swing on it at one time,” Gordon said. “We had a rope swing.”

In recent years, branches and limbs have been falling down. The tree was dying and becoming a hazard, he said.

others in his family gathered to watch as Reasonable Tree Experts worked on it through the morning.

Gordon, 55, did not know the age of the tree, other than that it was there when his parents moved onto the property when he was 4 years old. He now lives in another house in the neighborhood, and his son, Kevin, owns the property.

He did not know the size of the tree, other than, “It takes about three people to get their arms around it.”

Kurt Fife, owner of Reasonable Tree Experts in Crest Hill, estimated the tree to be 70 feet tall and as much as 65 inches in diameter. He calculated its age at about 100 years.

“It’s one of the biggest ones we’ve taken down,” Fife said.

“We’ve taken down some other big ones a couple of blocks Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com from here.”

Mike Ritchey with Reasonable Tree Experts reaches for his chainsaw Thursday while cutting down a large Gordon had mixed feelings cottonwood tree along Cayuga Street in Joliet Township. about the tree coming down.

He was glad not to worry about Cutting down the tree at 610 branches falling in the next “The problem is the dam- down. It’s seen its life. Every age it does with every storm,” time a storm comes through, a Cayuga St. was a big enough storm but sad to see it go. event that Gordon and three Gordon said. “It’s time to come big branch falls.”

“It’s bittersweet,” he said.

Joliet mayor, lawmakers react to debt downgrade

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com The partisan gridlock and budget crisis in Springfield have forced yet another downgrade of the state’s general obligation bond ratings.

Without a state spending plan in place since July 1, Moody’s Investors Service on Thursday downgraded Illinois’ rating on $26.8 billion in outstanding bond debt, citing the state’s weakening financial position. The move came the same week the Fitch Ratings dropped the state’s bond rating.

The credit rating agency gave Illinois a negative outlook, noting how “further deterioration in key measures, such as the state’s unfunded pension liabilities and amount of unpaid bills, would put pressure on the state’s [general obligations] and related ratings.”

The perpetual downslide will affect Joliet’s ability to borrow money for planned major capital projects, the

city’s $10 million pledge toward a new Will County courthouse, and the redevelopment of Evergreen Terrace, Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said Thursday.

“I wish, like everyone else, everything would straighten itself out in Springfield,” said O’Dekirk, adding he’s becoming increasingly concerned about Illinois withholding money owed to local governments because of the budget impasse.

State Sen. Sue Rezin Sue Rezin, State senator, R-Morris, said R-Morris lawmakers should take the downgrades seriously, compromise on Gov. Bruce Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda reform items and pass a balanced budget. Those who point the finger at Rauner for the downgrades should remember the state historically suffered similar credit rating blows during the ten-

ures of former governors Pat Quinn and Rod Blagojevich, she said.

“You have to look at the past 12 years. … Our governor has been in office for 10 months. We haven’t gotten here in the last 10 months,” Rezin said. “One person has completely paralyzed the state and is holding up compromise, and that’s [House Speaker Michael Madigan].”

But state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-JoPat McGuire liet, argued the State senator, downgrade is D-Joliet further proof Rauner should drop his nonbudgetary demands and focus on a compromised spending plan.

McGuire noted how former Republican governors Jim Thompson and Jim Edgar recently criticized Rauner, asking he put his reforms aside to address the budget crisis.

“I hope Gov. Rauner pays

attention. ... I hope the latest downgrade will convince him to be realistic and heed the advice of two former governors ... and make getting a budget the priority,” McGuire said.

Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said in an email the report is “another confirmation” that years of unbalanced budgets, deficit spending and mismanagement have damaged Illinois’ fiscal stability.

“This is more proof that instead of blocking all reforms and passing a broken budget

that was $4 billion in the hole, the supermajority in charge of the legislature should partner with the governor to enact real reforms that will grow jobs and free up more resources to balance the budget,” Kelly said.

The agency placed blame on Springfield’s gridlock and the rollback of the income tax increase last year, asking that Illinois government implement a realistic plan to pay its pension obligations, reduce its payment backlog and pass a balanced budget.

Downtown Plainfield TIF progress is discussed by joint review board

It’s Turkey Time!

I’m Baaaaack!

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Downtown Plainfield looks markedly different today from how it did in 1998.

That’s when the village issued a tax increment financing district to revitalize the downtown area.

Since then, the downtown TIF district has generated $5.5 million in tax revenue for reinvestment through April 30, and the equalized assessed value of property in the district has risen from $3.9 million at the end of 1998 to $7.9 million as of April 30.

“Seeing downtown and how it’s grown, on a Monday night, it’s pretty neat,” said Jim Harvey, a member of the TIF district’s joint review board and the village attorney.

TIF district

A TIF district is a finance mechanism for municipalities to redevelop blighted areas in town.

It limits the taxes collected by any government issuing property taxes in the district to an amount according to the base EAV of the year the TIF district was issued.

If the EAV grows in future years, the difference in revenue goes to the TIF district’s fund, which then is supposed to be used to redevelop or repair infrastructure in the district.

The thought is the EAV of the district would continue to incrementally increase because of the reinvestment from the TIF, and the district

The restoration of the old Trolley Barn building at 24216 W. Lockport St. was one of the projects discussed at Wednesday’s downtown Plainfield TIF joint review board meeting. will cease to be a blighted area.

The downtown Plainfield TIF district, which encompasses the Lockport Street corridor from Van Dyke Road to Route 59, is scheduled to expire in 2021.

Although the village issues the TIF district, input is required from other governing bodies such as the Plainfield library, fire district and school district.

TIF expenses

The review board convened for its annual meeting Wednesday to discuss some of the current projects in the district.

An update was given on the restoration of the old Trolley Barn at 24216 W. Lockport St., with Village Planner Jonathan Proulx noting the project is going well and the developer is seeking additional tax credits to help fund the restoration.

The Trolley Barn received

approval in July for a facade grant through the TIF funds not to exceed $237,189. Another $57,750 facade grant was approved in July for the historical old jailhouse at 24108 W. Lockport St. Another project discussed was the Plainfield Public Library’s plans for reconstruction of the library at 15025 S. Illinois St. In the 2014-15 fiscal year, the village spent $679,055 in TIF funds on the recent Lockport Street streetscape restoration, maintenance and a $500,000 transfer to the village’s capital fund.

The transfer is a payback for the $7 million refresh of Lockport Street completed in 2009, Director of Management Services Traci Pleckham said.

That project is considered an enhancement of the TIF district.

The fund balance of the TIF fund as of April 30 was $986,104.

practices, Colombo said the state is late on money owed to the district, exceeding $900,000.

Superintendent Todd Koehl said he hasn’t seen signs of the state’s budget climate getting any better to help push the money through.

“We’re very fortunate if you think of any other agencies not being paid at all,” Koehl said. “We count our blessings there.”

Colombo said the district hasn’t budgeted any increases in state revenue, and it has enough cash on hand for continued suspended funding.

“But we’re constantly watching,” Colombo said.

Lockport council set to vote on new budget with $4.5M deficit

By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT — The city of Lockport will once again draw from its reserves for capital improvement projects as the City Council considers a budget with a deficit of about $4.5 million.

The budget, which shows about $41 million in revenues and $45.5 million in expenses, includes $13.5 million budgeted for street repairs as well as water and sewer projects.

The projected deficit is smaller for 2016 compared to 2015, for which projected yearend revenues and expenses are $36.5 million and $46.1 million, respectively.

Finance Director Lisa Heglund presented the budget to the council’s Committee of the Whole at its regular meeting Wednesday night.

There will be a public hearing on the budget at the City Council’s meeting Nov. 4, and a vote is scheduled for the board’s Nov. 18 meeting.

The detailed budget is available at www.cityoflockport. net.

“This is not a structural deficit nor a bad problem to be

“It simply means that the city is spending down additional money that management and elected officials view as above and beyond what is needed as a reserve balance of four months of operating expenses.”

Lisa Heglund Lockport finance director had,” Heglund said in her presentation. “It simply means that the city is spending down additional money that management and elected officials view as above and beyond what is needed as a reserve balance of four months of operating expenses.”

Heglund said that despite the city drawing from its reserves, it still will have a general fund balance reserve of six months of operating expenses, above the city’s fourmonth policy.

“The city is not in the busi-

ness of collecting reserves,” Heglund said in a later interview. “It is in the business of providing services to its residents.”

While the council only will be voting on a budget for 2016 next month, the budget includes projections for 2017 and 2018. Heglund said these projections show that “the decisions the city is making today are sustainable.”

Last year, the city approved a capital improvement plan that proposed to spend about $50 million from 2014 to 2020 on road construction and on resurfacing, water and sewer projects.

Projects budgeted for next year include $1.15 million for the reconstruction of the intersection of 17th and Hamilton streets, which originally was budgeted for 2015; $950,000 for reconstruction of the intersection of Cleveland and 11th streets; $775,000 for Phase 1 of the construction of the new Water Well 15; and $450,000 for the Porter Plaza storm sewer upsizing.

The budget is not final and can be changed if the council sees the need to move some projects, Heglund said.

Child custody SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker

When it comes to legal matters regarding child custody in Illinois, the courts focus on what is best for the child, not what’s in the best interests of the parents.

The court will consider many factors to determine what is the child’s best interest. They can include, but are not limited to, the child’s and parent’s wishes, the relationships between the child and parents, the anticipated adjustment to home, school and the community, the mental and physical health of everyone involved, any history of domestic violence from a parent toward the child, willingness of each parent to encourage a healthy relationship with the other parent, witness testimony, as well as whether either parent is actively serving in the military or a sex offender.

Custody is legal and physical and can be awarded to a single parent or can result in joint custody. It should be understood that joint custody doesn’t necessarily mean that the parents will split the

time they spend with their child 50/50. Generally, with joint custody one parent has primary physical possession of the child, since he or she will live with them. Parents must make a joint decision with regard to any major decisions that will affect the child.

With sole custody, one parent has the authority to make all decisions without having to consult with the other parent.

Keeping the child’s best interest in mind remains important throughout the entire process. Rather than being obsessed over the term used to describe the type of custody arrangement that is pursued, or that has already been reached, you should focus on your rights and obligations as the child’s mother or father.

JOLIET – Troy School District 30-C is maintaining its Aa2 credit rating from Moody’s Investors Service and recently refinanced bonds issued in 2007 to save the district more than a half-million dollars.

Moody’s announced the credit rating as the district issued $9.2 million in general obligation bonds three weeks ago.

The refinancing of the 2007 bonds of $9.07 million led to a savings of $653,140, or 7.21 percent, over the remaining life of the bond, Troy Executive

Director of Finance and Operations Elaine Colombo said.

“It’s great to have that rating,” Colombo said. “It helps for our refinancing rate. We’re not high risk. Our bonds are sold quickly, with investors eager to buy our bonds.”

A major part of the statement of good standing was the district’s fund balance, which is about $53 million across all funds, Colombo said.

According to the Moody’s credit report, “The district’s financial position will remain strong given its ample reserves and strong management practices.”
