HERALD Plainfield suggests part-time workers, other NEWS snow removal solutions after Feb. blizzard The

PLAINFIELD – The village’s streets department received general support Monday from the Board of Trustees to make several changes to its handling of snow removal so problems like the Feb. 1 blizzard response do not happen again.

“After the blizzard, we did take a look at operations and what had occurred,” Director of Public Works Allen Persons said. “We took quite a bit of time really analyzing what was done and what can be done better.”

According to an after-action report a week after the storm, the village announced communication issues and a misapplication of road salt had occurred during the storm, causing some neighborhoods to remain unplowed for most of the day.

While presenting the report, Persons said the village relied on several contractors to give updates on their plowing progress. However, two of the contractors failed to communicate

equipment troubles to the village, according to the report.

The result was several residents fuming about the lack of plows in their neighborhoods.

Persons on Monday presented several remedies to the snow removal process to village trustees during a 2016-17 budget planning meeting.

One of those remedies includes hiring part-time winter workers to help with snow removal during severe events such as the blizzard. Village Administrator Brian Murphy said lower-than-expected expenses have made this winter a time to test out the idea.

“We’ve had a few residents in the community who mentioned ... they would be willing to plow for the village,” Persons said, adding that part-time employees would need to go through a regular screening process.

Persons said part-time employees wouldn’t be needed when full-time employees overlapped shifts, sometimes spanning 16 hours. But the hired help would come in handy when the regular employees took time off or worked few-

er hours.

Trustees responded favorably to the idea.

“I think that might be an opportunity,” Trustee Edward O’Rourke said, noting how well part-time employees have been working on landscaping Route 59’s medians.

The public works department already has made changes in the hiring process for snow removal to make contractors more responsive.

Other helpful items include updating the snow removal handbook, using intergovernmental agreements with Plainfield and Wheatland townships, providing easier ways to communicate snow removal operations with residents, and anticipating the delivery of 4,000 tons of salt by Thanksgiving.

Trustees also provided some ideas, such as providing snow removal updates on the village website and providing a point person for residents to contact for snow removal issues.

Persons also asked residents to notify the village about anyone with special needs so crews can plan accordingly.

Plainfield support staff union demands better pay at District 202 board session

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Several Plainfield Association of Support Staff members demanded better pay and benefits during a Plainfield School District 202 board meeting Monday.

PASS has been in contract negotiations with District 202 officials since April, and their last contract has been expired since June 30. Several members of the support staff union were not satisfied with what they said district officials have proposed.

District officials declined to comment at Monday’s board meeting because they still are in contract negotiations with PASS. “PASS is proposing a 3.75 percent raise or $655.61. The board is proposing a 2.25 percent raise or $393.37. This is a difference of only $262.24,” said Lisa Fuhr, a high school paraprofessional, to board members during public comment.

Fuhr listed all of her duties as a paraprofessional working

in a Star Plus classroom at the high school level to help students with disabilities, such as helping students with sanitation, learning and nutrition needs.

She said because support staff have taken a pay freeze in the past and district officials have said finances were in good shape, the difference of $262.24 was “quite paltry.”

“I and we collectively are asking you to care for us the way that we care for the students in this district and pay us accordingly,” she said, which drew applause and cheers from some audience members.

Board President Michelle Smith said after public comment that because negotiations were ongoing, “We can’t specifically comment on the things you said to us today.”

She gave a statement from the board, saying board members appreciate their comments and attendance, as well as the contributions of support staff members.

“We look forward to continuing negotiations with

your leadership team when they are available. We hope those discussions are productive and allow us to use to our limited financial resources,” said Smith, before she was cut off by laughter from some audience members. “ … To continue to provide fair wages and benefits to almost 1,000 support staff.”

One PASS member who works in the Bonnie McBeth Early Learning Center asked the board to “take a walk in our shoes” and see why they are fighting for better pay and benefits.

Joanne Clemans, a 10-year paraprofessional at Plainfield Academy, said her income has decreased because of rising insurance costs and lack of a decent raise.

According to the PASS website, Clemans is a member of the union’s bargaining team.

“How many people do you know that continue to work at the same place of employment for 10 years and take in less pay each year? Can you do it?” she asked.

Mayor criticizes plan, rejects key recommendation

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A development consultant presented the City Council with a plan Monday aimed at making downtown Joliet a “dynamic urban center” appealing to a youth market.

The plan, however, immediately ran into static from Mayor Bob O’Dekirk, who criticized it for lacking dollar amounts to go with ideas and disagreed with the first priority laid out by the planner making the presentation.

Bill James, a planner with Camiros, a Chicago-based consulting group hired to develop a plan to revitalize downtown Joliet, said the plan was aimed at “getting things done.”

James’ report to the council was optimistic at times, saying downtown had strong anchors, such as the Rialto Square Theatre and Silver Cross Field, and could become a “youth mecca” and a regional attraction.

He said Chicago Street could be converted into a vibrant corridor with wider sidewalks for cafe seating and bicycle lanes to add variety to the modes of transportation.

But he also pointed to problems, such as too many vacancies between the anchor attractions downtown.

“These are great attractions for people, but the rest of downtown is really lacking,” James said. “We need to fill the vacancies.”

He called on the city to develop more residential property downtown with the aim of attracting young people and creating a market for retail development. But James also said the major reason to target the youth demographic for rental housing was because empty-nesters and even young professionals were unlikely to

Partnership should take a stronger role in economic development.

But the mayor rejected the idea that the relationship needed restructuring.

“I think it’s a little misguided to make this the No. 1 priority,” O’Dekirk told James. “I think the roles are clear.”

Asked after the meeting about his objection to the recommendation, the mayor said, “I really don’t know what he was getting at.”

However, Rod Tonelli, board president at the City Center Partnership, said after the meeting he agreed with James’ assessment of the need to reorganize the relationship.

“It doesn’t mean that it hasn’t been working well, but things can always be working better,” Tonelli said.

James for not putting dollar amounts on recommendations, such as the Chicago Street plan, which includes opening Chicago Street where it is now blocked by a parking lot outside of the Will County Courthouse as well as improvements in the streetscape.

James responded by offering some cost estimates, saying opening Chicago Street could cost more than $200,000, while the conversion of the street into an urban thoroughfare could be as much as $5 million.

But he said other proposals, including hiring a professional to work on the homeless situation and modernized downtown parking, were not expensive.

“There’s a lot of low-hanging fruit you can do to improve the downtown that is not too expensive,” James said.

“There are other big-ticket items.”

2 die in shooting at Bolingbrook business

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Two people were killed Monday at YCB International in Bolingbrook, according to the Bolingbrook Police Department.

Xinling Zhang, 39, of Naperville, was shot multiple times, according to Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil, and Degang Zhang, 48, of Aurora, suffered a single gunshot wound.

At 9:39 a.m., Bolingbrook police received a phone call of an active shooting at the automotive supply importer at 694 Veterans Parkway, Lot 3G, near the intersection of Veterans Parkway and Remington Boulevard, according to Bolingbrook Lt. Carter Larry.

Multiple YCB International employees were at the scene at the time of the shooting, and at least one of the two killed was an employee, according to Larry.

Both Xingling and Degang Zhang were pronounced dead at the scene, and a gun was recovered. Autopsies are scheduled for Tuesday, according

No one else was injured, Larry said.

As of 11:30 a.m., police already had completed a primary and secondary sweep of the building, and adjacent businesses also were secured and a

perimeter was established. A neighboring business also was locked down because of its proximity to the incident, Larry said.

“We don’t believe that there is a shooter on the loose at this time, and there is no concern for the public moving forward,” Larry said.

Four Bolingbrook schools were put on soft lockdown because of the incident at the request of law enforcement.

Bolingbrook High School was placed on soft lockdown shortly before 10 a.m., according to a news release from Valley View School District 365U. About 15 minutes later, Jane Addams Middle School and Independence and Oak View elementary schools were placed on soft lockdown as well.

The lockdowns ended about 10:50 a.m. upon advisement from law enforcement.

A soft lockdown means all doors were locked and no one was allowed to enter or leave the buildings, but normal activities continued inside, the release stated. The school district stated on Twitter that all children were safe.

Joliet, Elwood chiefs say police conference offers advantages

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Members of local police departments are joining their brethren from all over the world this week at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference.

While it doesn’t quite attract crowds the size of the Chicago Auto Show, about 15,000 attendees from 78 countries have been able to see the latest tools available for law enforcement and discuss how they should be used, in presentations from Saturday to Tuesday at McCormick Place West in Chicago.

“The [vendors] expo is massive, but I’ve barely been in there because there are so many presentations,” Joliet Chief Brian Benton said Monday. “I’d be attending even more of those if [some] weren’t going on at the same time.”

Benton said although most Illinois chiefs still are learning about body cameras, the Oak-

land Police Department has been using them for five years.

“There’s a lot of different departments that have the same issues, and this is where we can learn what’s worked,” Benton said.

Beginning Jan. 1, all Illinois police departments must have officer-involved shootings investigated by an outside agency, which will be a change for the state’s fourth-largest department, Benton said.

“In other states, that’s how it’s always been, and I wouldn’t be able to meet with so many other agencies where policies and procedures are already established,” he said.

Police chiefs who were able to spend time at the expo could put together a “wish list” of toys, trucks and lethal weapons.

Chief Fred Hayes acknowledged the Elwood Police Department couldn’t justify the cost of an armored ballistic transport truck on display.

“But when equipment is

Ron Huff (from left), Lockport Deputy Chief Dave Draksler and Elwood Chief Fred Hayes discuss the brightness of lights on a police car on display Monday at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Chicago. shared between several departments, there are more opportunities to use them, and that can benefit everybody – and this is a chance for us to see what’s available,” Hayes said.

Elwood police are consid-

ering buying LED directional lights that would replace incendiary flares at crashes.

Five manufacturers had models on display, which Hayes said saved him time.

“I’d have to schedule time with each vendor over a cou-

ple days or just try searching online,” he said, while pointing out a flat orange disc with a light.

“This might work well on a flat road in a warm climate, but for winter here, we’d want something that can handle snow better,” Hayes said.

Benton was planning Monday to visit drone vendors at the expo to determine the costs of a flying camera. He said the SWAT team worked with a volunteer’s privately owned drone before but has not spent money for one of its own.

“There aren’t enough SWAT uses, frankly. So I’m trying to see what else can we use it for that could justify that expense,” Benton said, offering crime-scene photography and hazardous material spills as examples.

“Then, if we got one, there’s the legal restrictions to consider – but, of course, the FAA has a booth here where someone can talk about that,” Benton said.

Joliet, Morris lawmakers file bills to release adult education funding

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Two local lawmakers have filed legislation to authorize the Illinois Community College Board to spend $43 million in grant money for adult basic education that is entangled in the state budget impasse.

Related federal grants and community colleges’ adult education programs are at risk otherwise.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, and state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, filed identical legislation earlier this month. McGuire’s bill is SB 2185, and Rezin’s is SB 2188.

McGuire said five GED programs have shut down statewide because of the budget impasse, and he is concerned about the long-term effects on students.

“This will keep the career and technical education and adult education programs afloat until the programs can

receive all of the funding they deserve through the passage of a balanced budget, something that needs to happen as soon as possible,” Rezin said in a news release announcing the legislation she introduced.

McGuire said it is promising that Democrats and Republicans are coming together on the issue, but time will tell whether the full Illinois General Assembly is on board with releasing those funds.

The House and Senate are scheduled next to meet Nov. 10.

Joliet Junior College spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said $1.2 million earmarked for JJC’s adult education and literacy program is in limbo because of Springfield’s budget impasse. Another $650,000 is tied up for career and technical education programs.

Without a state spending plan in place, Rohder said the state also does not have authority to release federal grant dollars totaling $523,000

for the college’s adult literacy program and $480,000 in Perkins Grant money.

“These students, in most cases, are considered the most at risk, and these funds help ensure their success,” Rohder said.

The state’s share of JJC’s operation budget has decreased from 18.7 percent in fiscal year 2000 to a projected 10 percent in fiscal year 2016, according to an email from Rohder.

JJC President Deb Daniels testified in September at an Illinois Senate Higher Education Appropriations Committee hearing about the state budget impasse’s effect on the college.

She noted how the college has trimmed operations systematically each year, cutting more than $1 million from its operating budget since fiscal year 2013. The college has increased tuition while not filling key employee vacancies, she said.

McDermed said.

House Bill 4322 would not only require the creation of a district advisory committee but also require that committee to gather information about each facility within a school district, such as enrollment projections, building capacity and conditions, student spending costs and programs.

Lincoln-Way officials have worried about the redundancy in costs if McDermed’s state audit resolution passes. They are moving forward with audits targeting past and present finances.

McDermed said Lincoln-Way would have to agree with the Illinois auditor general to have an audit performed. If the district goes through with its own audit, the board does not have to agree with her resolution, she said.

“I see [my resolution] as an incentive for them to pursue an audit. The last situation we want is no audit,” she said.

“DSW’s footprint continues to grow, and we are committed to being the go-to destination for all of our customers’ shoe and accessory needs,” Carrie McDermott, executive vice president and chief operating officer of DSW, said in the release.

NEW LENOX – A state lawmaker has filed more legislation in response to the financial problems of Lincoln-Way High School District 210 and the hundreds of parents outraged over the district officials’ decision to shut down a school.

State Rep. Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, filed House Bill 4309 to create an inspector general position at the Illinois State Board of Education.

She also has filed House Bill 4322, which would require school boards to appoint a district advisory committee to advise and make recommendations to board members before they decide to shutter a building.

The legislation is two of four filed with the state because of the situation at the Lincoln-Way School District, where board members decided to close North High School in an effort to reduce multimillion-dollar budget deficits.

State Sen. Michael Hastings,

D-Tinley Park, filed a bill Oct. 2 that aims to make the school closure process more transparent and give residents more public input.

McDermed previously filed a resolution to have the Illinois auditor general conduct a performance audit for Lincoln-Way. As with that resolution, McDermed said her recent bills grew out of the town hall meeting she had Sept. 28 with Lincoln-Way residents. Residents at the meeting complained about what they said was poor communication from board members, and said the decision to close North seemed forced.

Under House Bill 4309, the ISBE inspector general would have the power to investigate allegations or incidents of waste, fraud and financial mismanagement from school districts, board members or contractors. The position would be appointed by ISBE, but the office would remain independent of the state board.

“The Illinois State Board of Education has no way to investigate anything that happens to a school,”

8 Crest Hill hires interim administrator,

gets search firm for permanent director

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – A new interim administrator has been hired to run Crest Hill’s city staff as the City Council searches for a permanent one during the next several months.

The council voted unanimously last week to approve the hire of former Homer Glen Village Administrator Cameron Davis.

Davis will take over after current City Administrator John Tomasoski leaves at the end of the month for the same position in Mokena, Mayor Ray Soliman said. He will take Tomasoski’s salary of $123,899.17, paid biweekly.

Soliman said Davis, who was dismissed from his position at Homer Glen last month, had the experience to take over on an interim basis.

Homer Glen Mayor George Yukich told the Chicago Tribune Davis was one of the “smartest men” in municipal management and his dismissal wasn’t related to performance.

“[Davis] is the right individual to keep the city moving in the right direction.”

Ray Soliman Crest Hill mayor “He is the right individual to keep the city moving in the right direction,” Soliman said, noting he has known Davis during Davis’ time in Homer Glen. “He’s a professional individual.”

Along with the new hire, City Attorney Heather McGuire’s position has been reclassified as the assistant city administrator.

McGuire, who already was taking on Heather HR duties for McGuire the city, also will be involved in decisions relating to department head oversight, personnel matters,

the budget and economic development.

Soliman said McGuire also will assist Davis, and the future permanent city administrator, with getting acclimated to the city and staff.

McGuire’s salary of $105,950 will remain the same, she said.

“I think I’m looking forward to the change,” McGuire said. “I think it’s a good opportunity to help spur economic development [among other areas] in the city.”

The City Council last week hired GovHR USA on a contract not to exceed $17,000 to conduct a nationwide search for a permanent replacement for Tomasoski.

Tomasoski accepted a position as Mokena’s village administrator last month.

GovHR USA is the same firm Mokena used to hire Tomasoski.

Soliman said the process could take four to six months, and the hope is GovHR whittles down 40 to 50 candidates to as many as six candidates.

Then the City Council will interview the candidates.

but his son did come out and was taken into custody,” Dykstra said.

Burnett, a resident of Altoona, Wisconsin, was booked into the Will County Jail and is scheduled to be extradited to Minnesota. According to police reports, he is charged with second-degree murder for aiding and abetting a slaying, aggravated robbery and two counts of aggravated assault.

On Oct. 18, Adam T. Fort, 31, was shot and killed in his Winona apartment by two intruders who came in demanding drugs and money, according to police reports. Police said Lonnie L. Hudson, 23, was identified by witnesses as the man who shot Fort and Burnett was the other intruder.

WCCO in Minnesota reported that Hudson was arrested Thursday night in Wausau, Wisconsin.

Will County Jail records indicate Burnett was arrested April 6 in Joliet on charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

JOLIET – As part of the Union Pacific Railroad’s work on the Heritage Corridor railroad bridges near the Joliet Gateway Center transportation campus, the Fourth Avenue railroad viaduct – between Chicago Street and Eastern Avenue – will be closed for bridge work beginning Friday.

Fifth Avenue remains closed between Eastern Avenue and Gardner Street.

Detour routes will be posted. Drivers are advised to exercise caution and seek alternate routes when traveling in the area, according to a news release from the city. It is anticipated both roads will be reopened by the end of November.

When is the Right Time to call Hospice?

SPONSORED BY

adno=0343535

By JD Wright, MD

Challenge Fitness is a facility of the Lockport Township Park District

Hospice is a system of care for patients who are at the end of their lives. It’s understandably uncomfortable for many people to talk about hospice. What we have learned over the years is that dying can be a very uncomfortable process, often needlessly. And when does “dying” begin?

It’s impossible to say, even in hindsight. At any time during a serious illness, it is appropriate to discuss all options, including hospice care. In the setting of a life limiting illness, when there are no more good options for disease management, hospice can be of great benefit to both patient and family. Some have the misconception that hospice care is only for the last few days or weeks of life, but nothing could be farther from the truth.

Hospice staff are very experienced and skilled in treating a variety of symptoms that become more prominent in the late stages of disease. Some examples are pain, agitation, breathlessness, nausea, just to name a few. If unmanaged, these and other distressing symptoms can result in misery for the patient and family, not to mention avoidable/needless trips to the hospital emergency room.

Joliet Area Community Hospice (JACH) has been serving patients and families in and around Joliet since 1982. Most patients are able to remain in their homes, something that is difficult to do without the kind of support hospice can provide.

JACH built the first free standing hospice home in Illinois and opened its doors in 2004.

So when is the right time to call? There is more than one answer, but a very good one is when further treatment of the underlying disease(s) is of no benefit, or when the treatment is causing more harm than good. Patients need not wait until they develop severe symptoms. Many of these are predictable and can be prevented or lessened with hospice intervention and planning.

Sergio Reyes, 35, had his pants undone and was fondling his genitals when a police officer saw him about 7:10 a.m. Monday in the alley north of Benton Street, according to Joliet Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner.

Reyes tried to strike the patrol officer who took him into custody Monday and “bit his finger when he was taken to the ground,” Roechner said.

Roechner said Reyes also was being sought for arrest for indecent exposure from a 2014 Joliet case.

UAW, General Motors reach contract agreement

DETROIT – The United Auto Workers union and General Motors Co. have reached a tentative agreement on a new four-year contract, avoiding a strike for now.

The UAW said the agreement was reached at 11:43 p.m.

Sunday, 16 minutes before the deadline it had set to either reach an agreement or call a strike at GM’s U.S. plants.

The 630-foot-tall Gateway Arch rises above trees Friday in St. Louis. The wicket-looking landmark, the nation’s tallest man-made monument and the centerpiece of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial grounds, celebrates its 50th birthday Wednesday and drew roughly 2 million visitors last year. It cost less than $15 million to build after construction began in early 1963 and is now undergoing an ambitious $380 million renovation.

Details of the proposed contract weren’t immediately available. The UAW said local union leaders will meet Wednesday in Detroit to vote on the tentative agreement. If they approve it, GM’s U.S. hourly workers will vote on it.

The agreement covers 52,600 U.S. auto workers at 63 GM facilities in the U.S. GM said in a statement that the agreement benefits employees but still provides flexibility to the company. The company said it would not comment further until the agreement is ratified.

Records: Lobbyist spending at $1.2M in Illinois this year

SPRINGFIELD – State records show that lobbyists have spent more than $1.2 million so far this year in Illinois.

The State Journal-Register said reports from the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office show the money was spent on meals, entertainment, gatherings and other expenses. Illinois’ lobbyist disclosure law requires that the expenditures be reported.

So far, this year’s spending is more than all of last year’s spending, which totaled a little more than $1 million. Nearly $1.9 million in lobbyist spending was reported in 2011.

Experts said having both an uptick in lobbyist spending and an increase in lobbyists aren’t unexpected when there is a change of administration. GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner took office earlier this year.

Illinois has about 2,060 registered lobbyists, including contract lobbyists, businesses, labor organizations and other groups.

Lee County eyes creation of gun ordinance

DIXON – The sheriff in Lee County in northern Illinois said authorities are looking into a firearms ordinance because the county doesn’t have one.

The Telegraph said Lee County Sheriff John Simonton and the county board are considering creating a law to govern what county residents can and cannot do with firearms.

The issue arose after neighbors complained about noise when a store owner who sells firearms allowed customers to shoot the weapons. Lee County sheriff’s deputies investigated and found the store owner wasn’t breaking a law because there isn’t a law.

Simonton said he specifically wants to look at how private gun ranges are being used.

Ex-boyfriend’s trial to begin in Chicago woman’s death

CHICAGO – Jury selection is set to begin in the trial of a Chicago man accused in the 2007 killing of his ex-girlfriend, whose body was found covered in leaves in Calumet City.

Reginald Potts’ trial was to start in Cook County court on Monday, eight years after 28-year-old Nailah Franklin’s death.

Prosecutors say he strangled her before her body was dumped in a wooded area.

Potts was charged with additional felonies while in custody for allegedly beating sheriff’s deputies and destroying property. He also planned to represent himself before agreeing to a team of public defenders.

Potts has denied killing Franklin.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Chicago company that now runs the Amtrak line between Indianapolis and Chicago has big plans for the route.

Iowa Pacific Holdings already has added free Wi-Fi, improved dining options and more than doubled the number of passengers it can accommodate. It hopes to add more trains, and company president Edwin Ellis told The Indianapolis Star he envisions trains going between Chicago and Indianapolis 14 times a day.

The train currently runs just once a day from Indianapolis to Chicago and back. Ellis said he’s convinced adding trains would attract more passengers.

“You need to be able to go to the station to catch a train and, if you miss it, you can get another,” Ellis said. “The trains need to leave on a regular basis and be convenient.”

Iowa Pacific is in the first year of a contract with the Indiana Department of Transportation and Amtrak. The trains are still run by Amtrak engineers, and Iowa Pacific furnishes and maintains train cars, among other duties.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS U.N. links hot dogs, other scene said a survivor reported processed meat to cancer that a sudden wave had capsized PARIS – Bacon, hot dogs and cold cuts are under fire: The World Health Organization threw its global weight behind years of experts’ warnings and declared Monday that processed meats raise the risk of colon and stomach cancer and that red meat is probably harmful, too.

Meat producers are angry, vegetarians are feeling vindicated, and cancer experts are welcoming the most comprehensive pronouncement yet on the relation between our modern meat-eating lifestyles and cancer.

The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, analyzed decades of research and for the first time put processed meats in the same danger category as smoking or asbestos. That doesn’t mean salami is as bad as cigarettes, only that there’s a confirmed link to cancer. And even then, the risk is small.

No Fed rate hike likely yet; monitors global pressures

WASHINGTON – Not long ago, it seemed a sure bet: The Federal Reserve would raise interest rates by year’s end. Fed Chair Janet Yellen herself said she expected it.

Now, doubts are rising that the Fed will start raising rates before next year from the record lows where they’ve stood since 2008.

When its policymakers meet this week, the likelihood of a rate hike is widely seen as close to zero.

The charred remains of the Doctors Without Borders hospital are seen Oct. 16 after it was hit by a U.S. airstrike in Kunduz, Afghanistan.

Troops who sought strike thought Taliban had hospital

By KEN DILANIAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Army Green Berets who requested the Oct. 3 airstrike on the Doctors without Borders trauma center in Afghanistan were aware it was a functioning hospital but believed it was under Taliban control, The Associated Press has learned.

The new information adds to a body of evidence that the internationally run medical facility site was familiar to the U.S. military, raising questions about whether the decision to attack it violated international law.

A day before an American AC-130 gunship attacked the hospital, a senior officer in the Green Beret unit wrote in a report that U.S. forces had discussed the hospital with the country director of the medical charity group, presumably in Kabul, according to two people who have seen the document.

The attack left a mounting death toll, now up to 30 people.

Separately, in the days be-

fore the attack, “an official in Washington” asked Doctors without Borders “whether our hospital had a large group of Taliban fighters in it,” spokesman Tim Shenk said in an email. “We replied that this was not the case. We also stated that we were very clear with both sides to the conflict about the need to respect medical structures.”

Taken together, the revelations add to the growing possibility that U.S. forces destroyed what they knew was a functioning hospital, which would be a violation of the international rules of war. The Pentagon has said Americans would never have intentionally fired on a medical facility, and it’s unclear why the Green Beret unit requested the strike – and how such an attack was approved by the chain of command – on coordinates widely known to have included a hospital.

Even if the U.S. believed the Taliban were operating from the hospital, the presence of wounded patients inside would have made an air attack on it problematic under standard American rules

of engagement and the international law of war.

Pentagon spokesman Maj. Roger Cabiness declined to answer questions, saying in a statement that it would be “premature to draw any conclusions” before the three investigations into the attack are complete.

The U.S. has determined “that the reports of civilian casualties were credible, and we continue to work with the government of Afghanistan to fully identify the victims,” said Brig. Gen. Wilson Shoffner, a NATO spokesman, in a statement. U.S. and NATO investigations, he said, “continue to look at a series of potential human errors, failures of process and technical malfunctions that may have contributed to the mistaken strike on the hospital.”

“MSF report that they have personnel in the trauma center,” the Oct. 2 report by a senior Green Beret officer from 3rd Special Forces Group said, according to two people who have seen it.

MSF is the abbreviation for the group’s French name, Medicins sans Frontiers.

CHICAGO – Many Illinois consumers will pay higher prices for health insurance entering the third year of President Barack Obama’s health care law, industry experts said after the government published the 2016 prices Monday.

What’s more, many health plans are changing: The state’s dominant insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, killed off a popular plan offered last year that covered every hospital in the state. Offering fewer hospital choices is one way insurers can keep their costs down.

“No one should assume their doctor is covered by a particular health plan,” said Shelley Schiff, an insurance broker in Northbrook, who is getting calls from concerned clients. “I’m advising them not to rush.”

About 297,000 Illinois residents now get coverage through HealthCare.gov.

Consumers can start choosing plans on Sunday through the online marketplace. They have until Dec. 15 to buy coverage if they want it to start

Jan. 1.

It’s unclear how much Illinois premiums are going to rise, on average. But a quick look at the prices shows: • The price of one low-cost “bronze” plan in St. Clair County will increase about 8 percent, to $190 per month.

• In St. Clair County, midrange “silver” plans range from $242 per month to $385 per month. Last year, silver plan premiums ranged from $226 to $314.

• In Cook County, midrange plans range from $186 per month to $459 per month. Last year, silver plans ranged from $203 to $366.

• In Sangamon County, midrange plans range from $279 per month to $362 per month. Last year, silver plans ranged from $249 to $302.

Dave Axene of the Society of Actuaries said some insurers underpriced their plans the last two years and now are raising prices.

“How the public responds to this is really important,” Axene said. “If there is any significant shifting around of healthy vs. sick people, that’s going to mean more turmoil next year” in prices.

No one really is winning in state budget impasse Gov. Bruce Rauner took it on the chin for several days in a row this month.

The Paul Simon Public Policy Institute’s recent poll of southern Illinoisans showed Rauner’s approval rating absolutely tanking in a region he swept last year.

Just 37 percent of voters in 18 southern counties approved of his job performance, while 51 percent disapproved.

The media usually reacts negatively with real blood in the water, and that poll most definitely showed blood.

In both a Chicago speech and during a follow-up interview, former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar called on Rauner to stop holding the budget “hostage” to his anti-union Turnaround Agenda demands, claiming the lack of a state budget is hurting Illinois. Edgar remains a popular figure with political reporters, and his statements were like a cold bucket of water on the governor’s “things are going great, and if they’re not, it’s all because of House Speaker Michael Madigan” mantra.

Rauner appointed Comptroller Leslie Munger to the office in January after the popular incumbent Judy Baar Topinka died last year.

But Munger took her benefactor to task, telling a Quad Cities audience that Rauner needs to stop attacking unions.

“I don’t think it’s productive,” Munger said. “I think we’ve got to work together, personally.” Munger partially walked her comments back a few days later, but she continued urging him to stop the attacks.

Chicago hotel owner Laurence Geller’s public demand to Crain’s Chicago Business that the governor and the

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller legislative leaders come to terms was less-noticed by the media, but could be the most important harbinger of things to come. If enough of Chicago’s top business leaders demand an end to this fight, it’ll end.

After all that, Rauner apparently thought it was a good idea to give his House Republicans a little pep talk last week.

“We’re winning handily,” Rauner confidently told Republicans during a closeddoor meeting, sources said.

And if you think that was a bit over the top, consider what he said next: “I’m stunned by how good a position we’re in.”

Rauner claimed he and the Republicans have Democrat Madigan on the run and that “the entire Democrat caucus is in trouble.”

These obviously are not the words of a man who says he pays no attention to polls, as he claimed to reporters after the Simon Institute released its highly unflattering survey.

Instead, they’re the words of a guy who totally trusts his own pollster’s rosy numbers and who has put the state government’s future in the hands of consultants who have been itching for total war with the Democrats.

Rauner’s private comments to his fellow Republicans last week line up far more closely with what he told a friendly Chicago Tribune editorial board earlier this year.

“Crisis creates opportunity,” he told the Tribune in

April. “Crisis creates leverage to change – and we’ve got to use that leverage of the crisis to force structural change.”

The editorial board has been all-in on this theory ever since, most recently when it helpfully excoriated Edgar on the current governor’s behalf for suggesting that Rauner try to look for a “doable” resolution to the months-long impasse. The paper, echoing the tiny group of radical U.S. congressmen that is refusing to cooperate on the national level, actually accused Edgar of advocating “surrender.”

And the Democrats, for their part, strongly believe their long-term, privately stated goal of dragging the governor down to their own horrible polling levels to blunt his attacks is succeeding better than they ever could’ve hoped.

Their polling shows Rauner’s numbers are “dropping like a rock off a cliff,” as one top Democratic insider put it last week. An unpopular governor poses no political threat to legislators on the other side of the war.

Meanwhile, two credit rating agencies have downgraded Illinois’ bonds. Working parents are losing state help with their child care and are being forced onto welfare.

Meals on Wheels is cutting back service to senior citizens. Colleges and universities are being squeezed like never before, etc., etc.

But, hey, our political leaders are all convinced they’re winning, so we have that going for us.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump’s 9/11 (half) truths There’s nothing like 20/20 hindsight. It’s as easy as it is politically cheap.

So still topping the latest Franklin Pierce/Boston Herald primary poll, Donald Trump doubled down on his assault on President George W. Bush.

“The statement was made that ‘under my brother, we were safe,’” Trump said Oct. 20 on Boston Herald Radio, referring to an exchange with GOP rival Jeb Bush. “But I said, ‘Wait a minute, we weren’t safe because the World Trade Center just came down, thousands of people were killed, it was horrific.’ It was the greatest attack in the history of this country, so you can’t say we were safe.”

It’s one thing to be the clown prince of the primary season by beating up on news anchors, but quite another to rewrite the history of this nation’s darkest day and the man who with his steady resolve and devotion to duty led us out of that day – and, yes, made us safer in countless ways.

Now Trump is falling back on Jeb’s failure to use the past tense.

“We were not safe because of the World Trade Center,” Trump insisted Oct. 20. “If he [Jeb] would have said, ‘We were after,’ but even then, he [George W. Bush] took us into the war in Iraq, which was a huge mistake because there were no weapons of mass destruction.”

Trump last week also held President Bush – who, on 9/11, had been in office less than nine months – responsible for decades of intelligence stove-piping.

“The FBI and the CIA and various agencies were not talking to each other,” Trump said. They didn’t like each other, they were jealous of each other, and a lot of things skipped through.”

All true. But who was the one man to successfully tackle that problem, to propose and get passed legislation to create a Department of Homeland Security, a director of National Intelligence, the Patriot Act? That would be George W. Bush.

Memo to Trump: Bloviating is easy. Telling the truth is hard.

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

Warriors excited about chances Lincoln-Way West players confident heading into Class 5A playoffs

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – A lot of football players would be pretty disappointed if their team wasn’t able to hold on to a late lead in the regular-season finale as it was trying to capture a share of a conference title against an unbeaten district rival.

Although that’s just what happened to Lincoln-Way West last Friday when it lost 28-21 in overtime to Lincoln-Way North, coach Dave Ernst’s squad hopes to learn from the setback as it embarks on what it hopes is a successful run in the Class 5A playoffs.

The tough loss didn’t seem to hurt the 7-2 Warriors too much as they got a good draw,

which might allow them to meet teams from central and southern Illinois in the next few weeks.

West, which is making its sixth straight playoff appearance, gets started at 5 p.m. Saturday when it hosts 6-3 Dunlap in a first-round contest.

“It’s real easy for a team to get down after a rough loss like that at the end of the reg-

ular season,” senior defensive lineman Dan Wainwright said. “But our coaches preach to have a short memory. That kind of lit a fire under us, and we’re learning what we can from it and will forget anything that doesn’t help us.

We’re moving on to the postseason and are 0-0 now.

“We have the athletes and a high-character team, so all

that we have to do is make sure we’re executing in every quarter and never let up.

We’re always giving 100 percent, no one needs to be told anything more than once, and no one thinks they’re better than the team.”

Lincoln-Way West players motivated after overtime loss in Week 9 • WARRIORS

Continued from page 19 and 2013, the Warriors fell in the second round in 6A last season. They definitely were on the bubble between the two classes and wound up as the highest enrollment in Class 5A. How close was West to going to 6A? Three schools with smaller enrollments than the Warriors needed to beat a squad with a losing record to make it in, and all three lost by a touchdown or less. If one of those had won, West would have been in 6A, Ridgewood would have moved up to 5A, and Joliet Catholic may have been put in the downstate bracket.

Sparta looked like it might make the playoffs for the first time since 1992. The Bulldogs, who had only won nine games in the previous nine years, were 5-3 to guarantee their first winning sea-

The Warriors hope to capitalize on their seemingly good fortune of being in the 5A playoffs.

“I don’t think the North game affected us at all,” senior receiver Dylan McHale said. “We’re looking at the future, and we feel pretty confident where we got picked in the bracket. I think we can make a long run, but we have to take it one week at a time.

“The expectations are high for everyone on the team.

We’re real confident and the coaches are doing their best to prepare us. It’s going to be up to our defense to make big stops and up to our offense to punch it in when we get into the red zone. The thing that I like the most about our team is that we are all together.

We know each other and like each other.”

West’s players hope the North loss lights a fire that pushes them in upcoming games.

“I think we’re going to accomplish a lot,” senior defensive back Cam Gavin said.

“We didn’t like that loss at all and took it to heart and everyone is motivated to move forward. We’re going week by week, and hopefully we’ll make plays so we can get to the ultimate goal.

“I like that we all either lead by example or someone steps up to say something.

On the field, we make plays

and the guys on the sidelines cheer us on to make more plays. If we can come out strong in the first half of our games, I think that we can beat almost anybody.”

So despite heading into the playoffs on a down note, West is upbeat about its chances.

“Obviously everyone’s looking forward to the playoffs and we feel that we got a good seed in the bracket so everyone’s real excited about that.” senior receiver Jake Mauney said.

“The thing about this team is that no one gives up or gets down on each other. Even though we had that tough loss, we’ll forget about it and learn from the mistakes that we made.

“We’ve been on and off, but if we put it together, we’ll be good. The guys on this team have some of the best character that I’ve been around. We’re close and we pick each other up.”

4A LOCKPORT REGIONAL

Plainfield Central will face the winner of the Lockport/T.F. North match. If Central wins its first match, it could face Minooka.

If the two face off, it arguably would be the most exciting regional final of the group. Central and Minooka have an identical 25-10 record and have split matches this year.

Both teams will have to focus on the same areas to win: limiting mental errors and passing, digging and serving well.

“Our team is going to need to be very efficient at first contact [passing, digging, and serving],” Central coach Erik Vogt said. “We need to control the ball on our side of the net and put teams out of system in serve receive.

“We have struggled against other teams because of mental errors on our side of the net. For Plainfield Central to have success, we will have to win the battle on our side of the net.”

The senior outside hitter helped secure a second-place finish in the Southwest Prairie with 11 kills and three blocks against conference champion Plainfield Central. Perinar totaled 81 kills, 23 blocks and 50 digs in seven games, good for an 11.6 kill, 3.3 block and 7.1 dig a match average.

Griffins (21-14) win, they will face Plainfield South, Thornton or Marian. Success in all of the matches will come down to consistency, coach Linda Vivona said.

Similar to the Lockport Regional, the top two seeds in this one have split matches. One advantage the Griffins have is their experience winning in the postseason. Last year, they won their regional final while Marian didn’t advance.

“We know that we have to do our job on Tuesday and work for each point, set and match like it could be our last,” Vivona said. “We must rise to the occasion. We have beaten Marian once and they have beaten us once.

3A THORNRIDGE REGIONAL

After playing a tough 4A schedule and ending with an impressive 29-6 record, Providence is the only area team ranked first in a sectional. The Celtics, though, are focusing on one match at a time.

“The most important match we will play is the next one,” Celtics coach Brie Isaacson said. “Our sole focus is on either Rich South or Kankakee.”

If the Celtics win their first match, they will face Peotone, Thornridge or Herscher. The same thing that helped them succeed in season is what they will focus on in the postseason.

“We need to focus on serve receive and good defense,” Isaacson said.

“This allows our offense to stay in system and balanced.”

Speaking of the Old Timers banquet, remember who the speaker was in 2004? None other than umpire Wally Bell, who since has passed away.

One reason the Old Timers were able to get Bell was because Mark Carlson helped arrange it.

VIEWS Dick Goss Mark Carlson has been umpiring in the major leagues since 1999.

The Joliet West graduate has enjoyed plum assignments.

He worked the 2003 All-Star Game, a 2007 National League Division Series, 2011 and 2012 American League Division Series and the 2013 and 2014 National League Championship Series.

He began the 2014 season umpiring the opening series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks in Sydney, Australia.

This fall, Carlson was in St. Louis and at Wrigley Field for the NL Division Series between the Cardinals and Cubs. He was the home-plate umpire for Game 4 at Wrigley, where the Cubs ended it with their third straight victory.

From the feedback I have received, local fans were impressed with Carlson’s work in that game, from consistency in his ball-and-strike calls to the way he got into position to make the call when Jorge Soler threw out Tony Cruz at the plate, with Miguel Montero making the tag (see accompanying photo).

Despite all of that, however, there was a hole in Carlson’s resume. No World Series. No Fall Classic.

Until now, that is. Carlson officially was announced Monday as one of seven umpires who will work the World Series that begins Tuesday night with the New York Mets visiting the Kansas City Royals.

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Jonathan Toews scored 51 seconds into overtime, Corey Crawford made 39 saves and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Anaheim Ducks 1-0 on Monday night in a rematch of last season’s Western Conference finals.

Crawford earned his second straight shutout and No. 14 for his career as the Blackhawks closed out a perfect 4-0 homestand. They also beat

Tampa Bay 1-0 in overtime on Saturday night on Toews’ first goal of the season.

Taking advantage of the open ice for the NHL’s new 3-on-3 overtime, Toews skated in and beat Frederik Andersen over his left shoulder.

The Ducks were shut out for the second straight game and became the first NHL team since the New York Americans in 193031 to be shut out five times AP photo in their first eight games of the season.

Cutler deserves B+ so far With no Bears game tape to grade from Week 7 of the NFL season, let’s take a look at how the 2015 Bears grade out for the first six weeks of the season.

The quarterbacks are a B-, with Jay Cutler earning a B+ and Jimmy Clausen a D for the Seahawks flop.

Why is Cutler having his best year as a Bear when his completion percentage is down from 66 percent last year to 60.9 percent and his passer rating has slipped from 88.6 to 86.2 this year?

His interception percentage has improved 28 percent from 3.2 percent a year ago to 2.3 percent this year, his average yards per pass is up 4.4 percent from 6.8 to 7.1, and the Bears’ third-down conversion rate has improved 16 percent from 37.7 percent to 43.7 percent.

And he’s done all that with his principal targets being Marquess Wilson and Josh Bellamy rather than Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, and without playing behind the same offensive line more than two weeks in a row.

Running backs are a B, with Matt Forte earning a B+ and Jeremy Langford an incomplete.

Forte has slowed a bit in recent weeks but still is No. 1 in the league among players with six games in total yards from scrimmage with 698 and third in rushing yards with 507.

Bears receivers rate a C+.

Martellus Bennett is having a good year worthy of a B but has had a few more drops than you would like, and his yards

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush after the catch is down.

Zach Miller and Khari Lee are C-‘s for limited production in the passing game and average run blocking.

Marquess Wilson has been a B- to a C+ with several big plays, but has a poor target-to-catch ratio and continues to struggle to get open and run good routes.

Josh Bellamy, Marc Mariani and Cameron Meredith are C’s, while Jeffery and Eddie Royal have to get incompletes because of injuries.

The offensive line has been a B-, with Kyle Long and Matt Slauson having good but not great years and meriting B’s, Jermon Bushrod a B- and Vladimir Ducasse a C-.

Will Montgomery was a B+ before his injury, and Hroniss Grasu and Charles Leno Jr. have to be incompletes.

The defensive line is a C+, with a pleasantly surprising B for Jarvis Jenkins, a solid B- for Eddie Goldman, C’s for Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton – although Sutton was much better until injuries piled up – and incompletes for Mitch Unrein and the now-departed Jeremiah Ratliff.

Bears linebackers are a C this season, led by a strong B+ for Pernell McPhee and B for Sam Acho.

Christian Jones is a C, while Shea McClellin, Willie Young and Lamarr Houston

have all been C-‘s.

Although coaches continue to laud McClellin’s play, he just doesn’t show up enough on tape or make enough plays to deserve it.

With rankings to date of 24th against the pass and 25th in interception percentage, the secondary is a C-.

Adrian Amos and Tracy Porter are actually carrying this group with B’s, while Antrel Rolle has been a C, Alan Ball a C- and Kyle Fuller and Sherrick McManis D’s or maybe D+’s.

Robbie Gould is a blocked extra-point attempt from being perfect with 15 field goals made on 15 attempts, but the block and too many short kickoffs drop him to a B+.

Patrick O’Donnell is also a B+, with a strong 41.7 net average, but his two touchbacks to six kicks inside the 20 isn’t a strong ratio and a disappointing number of inside the 20’s.

The coverage teams are an improving but disappointing C-, with two returns for TDs. Coach John Fox, general manager Ryan Pace and their staffs are A++ when compared to a year ago and B’s to B- for their work when compared to the other 31 teams.

The bottom line is they are a 2-4 football team, and it’s unclear which way they’re trending coming out of the bye after the Lions disappointment and the strange saga of Ratliff.

Angels won second-place trophy last year • VOLLEYBALL

Continued from page 21 3A JCA REGIONAL

Last year, Joliet Catholic was the only area team that went to state, and the Angels left with a second-place trophy.

Similar to Providence, JCA played a tough 4A schedule, which it will use to its advantage.

The Angels will face the winner of the Rich Central/ Nobel Hansberry match and if they win, they will face the

winner of Evergreen Park/ Tinley Park. JCA plans to play “Angel volleyball” and focus on clean play and cutting down errors.

“We always talk about respecting our opponent no matter who is on the other side of the net,” JCA coach Christine Scheibe said. “I think every opponent is a team to reckon with at this point of the season, and on any given night, anything can happen if you don’t show up to win.”

3A RICH EAST REGIONAL

Lincoln-Way West will face

the winner of Morris/Chicago Agricultural Science. If they win, the Warriors will face Coal City, Rich East or Chicago Christian.

Arguably, West’s toughest match will be its first. The Warriors must shut down Morris’ Kaylin Korte, who averages more than 14 kills a match.

Two of West’s leaders will have to shine. Libero Cassie Ruettiger (11 digs a match) must anchor a strong defense and setter Katie Davis (11.9 assists a match) must set an effective offense.

Speaking up about cancer-related issues Oncology nurse from Plainfield lobbies in Washington, D.C.

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Surprise! You owe a co-pay of $200 to $700.

That unexpected news is enough for a Medicare patient to skip the colonoscopy altogether and some do, said Pamella Willett of Plainfield, an oncology nurse at the Edward Cancer Center in Naperville and mother of three children.

So when the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network contacted Willett and asked her to participate in its annual Leadership Summit and Lobby Day from Sept. 21 to Oct. 9 in Washington, D.C., Willett – once she understood the issues – willingly agreed.

Those issues revolved around cancer research, palliative care and a loophole in Medicare that required patients to pay a co-pay of at least $200 when a polyp was found, Willett said.

The loophole is a big one.

When patients with private insurance undergo a routine colonoscopy and the doctor finds a polyp, it is immediately removed. The same occurs with Medicare patients – except once the procedure changes from “routine” to “diagnostic,” the copay is added.

Maggie Osborne, the Illinois grassroots manager for ACS CAN, said 750 people – including patients, survivors and volunteers – from across the country attended the event, with 20 coming from Illinois. The Lobby Day was Sept. 29.

Once in Washington, D.C., Willett attended large group and conference-style workshops and training sessions, where she learned in-depth information about the issues involved from oncology doctors and researchers, before meeting elected officials, Osborne said.

Advocating for patients isn’t new for Willett.

Jenna VanGilder, administrative director of cancer care at Edward Hospital, said Willett has served as captain for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life Naperville team, in addition to finding resources for cancer

“She’s an excellent nurse,” VanGilder said. “Her skills are really good, she’s very caring, and she’s thorough.”

Having worked in nursing homes in varied roles since high school – including serving as an administrator of one -– Willett decided she wanted more patient contact and enrolled in the nursing program at South Suburban College.

But when Willett graduated in 1996, hospitals at that time only wanted nurses with experience, so Willett found herself back in nursing homes. Around this time, Willett’s mother Virginia Stewart was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.

Shortly after Edward Hospital hired Willett, Stewart died.

“The day I was supposed to start at the hospital was the first day of her services,” Willett said, “so I started two weeks later.”

Six months into the job, Willett was ready to quit. Caring for cancer patients while grieving was overwhelming. Ironically, Willett said she stayed because of her mother and because it

Know more According to information from Maggie Osborne, the Illinois grassroots manager for ACS CAN, Pamella Willett and other lobbyists discussed these issues with U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, and U.S. Sens. Mark Kirk, R-Illinois, and Dick Durbin, D-Illinois.

• Support of legislation that would provide the National Institutes of Health with a $6 billion increase over the next two years, with $1 billion going to the National Cancer Institute.

• Co-sponsoring the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act, or HR 3119, and co-sponsoring the Senate version of the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act once it is introduced.

• Co-sponsoring HR 1220 and S 624, the Removing Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screenings Act. This bill would allow Medicare patients to receive colorectal cancer screenings without facing an unexpected bill in the case of polyp removal, helping to ensure at least 80 percent of eligible Americans are regularly screened for colorectal cancer by 2018.

If you want to help Pamella Willett (left) goes over the patient schedule for the day with fellow nurse Juliet Navarrete (right). seemed wrong to quit simply because Willett felt uncomfortable.

“Cancer patients go through uncomfortable things all the time,” Willett said, “but they don’t have that choice.”

That’s why Willett lobbied – for her mother; her motherin-law Arlene Willett, who died from ovarian cancer; and for her patients – and why she would

lobby again, if the opportunity arose, despite the 12- to 14-hour days it required.

Willett believes lobbying is one way to make a difference for her patients. She hopes elected officials will support the issues.

“I believe in the power of numbers,” Willett said, “sort of like the nagging kids asking and asking mom for something.”

Lobbying for changes in health care takes many forms, ranging from making phone calls to participating in large-scale events – such as the 2016 IL Day at the Capitol on May 12.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Look at the second card in the suit

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Aristotle, who died in 322 B.C., said, “A friend is a second self.”

At the bridge table, a defender’s second card in the trump suit can both be a friend and govern how he should play -- as in this deal.

West is defending against four hearts. He leads the diamond nine.

East wins with his jack, cashes the diamond ace, and continues with the diamond king. After South ruffs with his heart queen, how should West plan the defense?

When a fit is found, both partners can include shortage points (or follow the guidelines of the Losing Trick Count). When North raises hearts, South can add one point for each doubleton, getting him up to 19 support (high-card plus shortage) points – enough for his jump to game. (Alternatively, his hand has only five losers: one spade, one heart, two diamonds and one club.

This is the number for a jump to game opposite a single raise.)

Should West overruff declarer?

With king-doubleton, yes; but what about king-third?

Now it primarily depends upon the second card in the suit. If it is relatively high – typically at least the eight – the defender should not overruff, in the hope that that card will be promoted as a winner.

In this deal, if West overruffs and, say, shifts to a spade, South wins that trick, draws trumps, and claims. But if West calmly discards, he will eventually take two trump tricks, with K-10-4 sitting behind A-J-8-7-2.

That seems to be easy, but as you know, bridge loves exceptions.

We will look at one tomorrow.

reduced inflammation.

A large study put the icing on the cake. It showed statins reduced the risk of heart disease even in people with normal levels of LDL cholesterol – presumably by reducing inflammation.

So there were two different ways (anti-cholesterol and anti-inflammation) in which statins could lower the risk of heart disease.

Based on this new information, updated guidelines published in 2013 moved away from recommending statins just for people who have high blood levels of LDL cholesterol. Instead, the new guidelines recommended a statin for anyone between 40 and 75 years of age who has a 7.5 percent or higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke over the next 10 years.

How do you calculate your risk? There are various systems, and those systems were developed from studies of different populations of patients.

All of the systems measure “risk factors” previous research has shown increase the chances of developing heart disease – or of having more heart trouble if you already have heart disease.

In tomorrow’s column, we’ll talk about the risk factors and the controversy over prescribing statins based on those factors – and not just on a person’s blood level of LDL cholesterol.

Plus, I’ll answer your question as to what I think about the new guidelines. Just don’t tell my colleagues here at Harvard what I said.

Dear Dr. K: My doctor put me on a statin in 2013 because the guidelines that came out that year said I should be on them.

Are the new guidelines really better than the ones they replaced?

Dear Reader: I’m sorry you asked that question, because any answer I give will be criticized by some of my colleagues on the faculty of Harvard Medical School. This is a very controversial area, and my colleagues all have strong opinions – just not the same one.

In fact, there’s an old joke: Our faculty are so knowledgeable, on any particular question, any three faculty are likely to have at least five completely different opinions – all strongly held and forcefully argued.

Not only is my answer going to be controversial, it also is going to be long.

There is so much to say, I will need two columns to say it.

Statins are medicines that were developed to lower blood levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL cholesterol, or “bad” cholesterol).

Statins were based on basic research that discovered how the liver controls the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood. That research was honored with the Nobel Prize.

Subsequent studies proved statins reduce the risk of heart disease.

Most of us assumed this was because they lowered LDL cholesterol.

Guidelines were developed that said people with LDL cholesterol above a certain level should take statins.

However, additional research revealed it was not so simple. First, it was discovered inflammation inside plaques of atherosclerosis raised the risk of heart disease.

Then it was shown, in addition to lowering cholesterol, statins also
