By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder for allegedly killing another 16-yearold last week in a drive-by shooting.

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas said police received information linking Christopher Stamps to the slaying of Latray Wright Thursday afternoon near Princeton and Fairmount avenues.

“Both the victim and the suspects are in the same gang, but are associated with different factions,” Kaupas said Monday. “This dispute may have started over online posts from one faction insulting another.”

Kaupas said deputies spent the weekend looking for Stamps with the assistance of Joliet police and executed two search warrants. Stamps was found Saturday night in Crest Hill and questioned by sheriff’s detectives Sunday.

He is being held in the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center on a $3 million bond.

Stamps faces two counts of murder and is being charged as an adult.

Wright, a sophomore at Joliet West High School, and a friend were walking near the intersection at 3:57 p.m. Thursday when a blue car with three occupants driving on Fairmount stopped and the shooting began.

Wright turned to run, but was struck from behind. His

Plainfield board denies apartment plan

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Trustees turned down an apartment and commercial development plan near downtown Monday because they said it was too high of a residential density for the area.

The plan brought to the village board during a Committee of the Whole meeting suggested building a 336-unit apartment complex with a clubhouse and pool, a fuel station and car wash, a 20,000 square foot retail building and 40,000 square feet of commercial or office space.

The development would be on the unincorporated southwest corner of Route 126 and Drauden Road and would require an annexation agreement and special use permits to waive density requirements.

The property also would require a $750,000 investment to provide the infrastructure for

water and electricity to the development.

The development sparked the question of if the village board would approve an apartment complex in Plainfield after the successful Springs at 127th Street development.

Trustee Jim Racich said he has voted against apartment complexes in the past because he wants to keep Plainfield a high-end community.

“I’m looking to protecting the image of the village of Plainfield so it doesn’t become a giant bedroom community,” Racich said.

Harold Oliver, the developer with Yorkville-based HRM Properties and Developments, noted that Plainfield currently has a much lower apartment density than what is recommended through studies. And even with the introduction of the 336-unit development, the village would still be low.

“Plainfield is way behind the curve,” Oliver said, adding

the apartments would incorporate design elements that would make it a good buffer between the commercial use of the property and the residential areas south and west of the development.

Several trustees also were concerned the development would need a special use permit to comply with the area’s medium density requirements as laid out in the village’s comprehensive plan.

“At this point, I don’t see apartments as something that the village needs,” Trustee Dan Rippy said.

While the board resoundingly turned down the apartment portion of the development, they were happy to see the gas station and commercial space plans.

Oliver said after the meeting that any municipality, including Plainfield, needs apartments. But he is going to revamp the plans with the village’s direction.

“The building is known to be vacant and was completely boarded up on the other sides,” Wohlrab said.

Crews initially worked to keep the fire from spreading to other houses, but eventually searched inside the house, Wohlrab said.

No one was found.

“There was also a live power line that came down in the rear

of the building,” Wohlrab said.

The structure remained standing after the fire was extinguished, but the damage was so extensive the city’s building department was scheduled to demolish it, according to reports.

Wohlrab said the fire’s cause remained under investigation.

LOCAL BRIEF Abandoned home burns in Joliet JOLIET – Fire destroyed an abandoned home in Joliet early Monday.

Joliet Fire Capt. Robert Wohlrab said crews were called about 1 a.m. to the vacant building at 702 Water St. to find “heavy fire” coming from the back.

–Brian Stanley

friend was not injured.

The shooting occurred near the entrance of the Fairview Homes housing project.

Nearby residents who could be reached Monday declined to speak with The Herald-News about the incident.

Records show Stamps lives nearby, in the 2200 block of California Avenue. Kaupas said shots were reported at Stamps’ address about 11 a.m.

Monday. It did not appear to be any damage or injuries occurred.

Wild West fan base gets behind Tigers’ first entry into playoffs

By VIKAAS SHANKER

“Most schools have bigger sections, so we [aspire] to be louder.”

vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – This is the first time Joliet West fans can say the Tigers are going to the football playoffs, and it’s in no small part due to support from students.

Despite a loss Saturday against Lockport, the Tigers learned Saturday they have reached the football playoffs for the first time in the school’s history.

“We’ve made history,” junior starting linebacker Meekah Ben-Israel said. “We just take it game-by-game and we keep it going as a team.”

The team’s record is 5-4, enough to put them in the playoffs. The team has beaten Joliet Central, Stagg, Sandburg, Chicago King and Tinley Park, and lost to Lincoln Way East, Bolingbrook, Homewood Flossmoor and Lockport.

The team faces Oswego High School on Saturday night.

Wild West While the football team earned its bid to the Illinois High School Association postseason, credit is also being given to a group of loud, spirited students who have gained recognition and given the Tigers a distinct homefield advantage.

The Wild West, a student-made and student-led cheering squad, has become the football team’s “12th man,” and has received rave reviews from people supporting the Tigers and their opponents.

The group was started by four friends, seniors Kyle Baugh, Parker Budzinski, Tom Carney and Griffin McGuire.

“We just love football and we wanted what other schools have in our area,” Carney said.

The four friends started by creating a twitter ac-

Parker Budzinski Joliet West senior

group helped motivated the team.

“The Wild West really helps us,” Tibble said. “I still thank them. They’ll be out at our game against Oswego.”

Millsaps said he would like to see the group continue to be student-led and student-motivated.

“We’re thinking about giving the Twitter account to a future senior, one of our friends who can continue this,” Carney said.

BELOW: Students cheer on their team during a game against Martin Luther King College Prep on Sept. 6. count, @JTWestSports, after the team’s wild victory over Chicago King in September.

Through social media, the students have been blasting out announcements about school pride events and games.

They head to games, including away games, up to an hour before kickoff and start several chants, including “Tony the Tiger” and “I Believe.” They continue the chants after the game, too.

When other students see them in the stands, they join in with them. During the games, the Wild West section also chant quips like “butterfingers” when opposing receivers drop the ball and have special names for some of the team’s players.

“Most schools have bigger sections, so we [aspire] to be louder,” Budzinski said.

The Wild West started with football games, but have also been cheering volleyball

games and other sports. They lead the national anthem at several events. They also have expanded to getting more students to attend club events and school musicals.

“People have always looked at us like, ‘Joliet West has no school spirit,’ ” Baugh said. “Now people are saying they want to be like Joliet West.”

Athletic Director Steve

Millsaps said he’s been getting emails from opposing coaches and parents praising not just the school spirit of the Wild West, but their conduct.

“I’m surprised at how well they’re organized,” Millsaps said. “They’ve been able to do this all with a positive manner.”

Junior starting quarterback Alex Tibble said the

Unique identity Head coach Jason Aubry said the team has come together after splitting off from Joliet Central.

In 2008, Joliet West football split from the Joliet Central Steelmen, becoming the Tigers again for the first time since the sports programs were combined in 1993. The combined football program did make the playoffs that year and again in 1994. But Joliet West never went to the playoffs as Joliet West.

“The split helped both programs,” Aubry said, adding that it gave students more opportunities. “The kids took on an identity here.”

Aubry said it took several years for the students to buy into the program. But now, the teams at both high schools have program consistency.

The Tigers’ first playoff game will kickoff at 7 p.m.

Saturday at Oswego High School, 4250 Illinois 71. Tickets can be bought at the Joliet West Athletic Office during school hours or online at oswegopanthertickets.universitytickets.com/user_pages/ event_listings.asp.

Forest Preserve Further talks needed for dog park passes downtown development on sale Saturday NEW LENOX

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Passes for the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s dog parks go on sale beginning Saturday.

Permits give dog owners year-round access to all five Forest Preserve dog parks: Forked Creek in Wilmington, Hammel Woods in Shorewood, Messenger Marsh in Homer Glen, Whalon Lake in Naperville and the newest dog park, Rock Run, which opened earlier this year in Joliet.

The 2015 permits can be bought at Isle a la Cache Museum in Romeoville, Plum Creek Nature Center in Beecher and Monee Reservoir in Monee.

The dog parks benefit not only pets, but dog owners, too, said Cindy Cain, forest preserve district spokeswoman.

“The dogs get a lot of exercise, but the owners usually can make new friends, too,”

Cain said.

Park passes start at $40 for one dog for Will County residents. To buy a pass, pet owners must provide their dog’s current rabies tab number and expiration date, and a permit is required to enter the premises.

Senior citizen and multidog discounts are available.

Permits are valid from the date of issue until Dec. 31, 2015.

The fee money goes back into the district’s general fund and helps offset the cost of employing dog park police and maintenance staff.

Dog parks are open 8 a.m. to sunset with one exception: Whalon Lake Dog Park is open from 6 a.m. to sunset from April through October, Cain said.

For permit prices, types and requirements, visit the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s website at www.reconnectwithnature. org/preserves-trails/dogparks.

NEW LENOX – Village officials’ concerns over traffic and building material issues with Lincoln Station Apartments have left the project in limbo.

On Monday, the New Lenox Village Board was set to vote on the development agreement and special use permit for the Lincoln Station Apartments, which is proposed for Route 30 and Prairie Street in the downtown area.

But village trustees had several concerns with the amount of traffic the apartments would potentially bring to the area along with the type of building materials that would be used for construction. They agreed to let the developers discuss those issues further at future meetings.

New Lenox Development Company LLC has plans to build four apartment buildings – 312 units total – at a 16-acre site in the downtown area. Developers with the company have said before there is high demand for the

apartments, which would complement the village’s plans for downtown redevelopment.

Three representatives with New Lenox Development Company and PPK Architects were at the meeting when village officials brought up concerns one of them found surprising.

Village Trustee Annette Bowden said she thought the apartments were great but they would nevertheless add more traffic to the area. Residents living there would still need a car to get around, she said.

“I think it’s a great building. I think it’s a great thought process. But for it to do what I thought it was really going to do for the community, I think you’re amiss there,” she said.

Village Trustee Nancy Dye also had issues with traffic density and said she doesn’t think there would be enough parking available. She said she also didn’t want the apartments to “stick out like a sore thumb.”

“I mean there aren’t any other big buildings like that

in that area where there is going to be the commercial [property],” she said.

She also raised concerns about the use of wood for floors and walls, which was shared by Village Trustee Ray Tuminello.

“I may not be the brightest guy in the world but wood burns, concrete doesn’t,” he said.

Warren Rendleman, New Lenox chief building inspector, said the apartments would meet building code with regards to fire safety.

The wood proposed for the apartments is fire retardant and allowed by code, he said.

After more than half an hour of discussion, the village board decided to discuss the project with the developers further before casting a vote.

Mayor Tim Baldermann said he had no issue with the developers coming back again for more talks.

“With the amount of time they put into this, to be honest, I only think it’s fair they have the opportunity to discuss further these issues,” he said.

Three people injured in Homer Glen after hayride trailer tips

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – Three people were injured Monday afternoon when a tractor trailer tipped at Bengtson’s Pumpkin Farm in Homer Glen.

Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said the “Hayrack ride” was going down an embankment when a pin on the trailer broke.

“The trailer tipped, but did not tip over,” Hoffmeyer said.

The tractor was pulling

five trailers and the fourth trailer was the one upset, Hoffmeyer said.

Homer Glen Fire Chief Bob Tutko said three people with “aches and pains” were taken to Silver Cross Hospital as a precaution.

A 39-year-old man and a 3-year-old girl suffered minor cuts and soreness. Hoffmeyer said the girl’s grandmother later complained of pain, as well.

“They were isolated [by staff] before we got there and immobilized for transport,” Tutko said.

Six people were examined by paramedics and signed medical refusals, Tutko said.

The farm, at 13341 W. 151st St. in Homer Glen, is a popular family attraction for buying Halloween pumpkins and fall entertainment.

A Bengtson’s spokesman was not immediately available for comment. Signs put up Monday afternoon at the business indicated the hayride has been closed for the rest of the season.

The rest of the farm remained in operation Monday afternoon.

A sign at Bengtson’s Pumpkin Farm announces Monday hayrides will not be available for the remainder of the season. One adult male and an unrelated 3-year-old child were taken to the hospital after a hayride trailer tipped at the farm Monday afternoon.

Rialto terra cotta job will go into the winter

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Crews plan to work into the winter in an effort to make the Rialto Square Theatre exterior a little more appealing to brides by June.

The replacement of the terra cotta parapet at the Rialto – being done for the first time since the theater was built in 1926 – has proved more difficult than expected.

Rialto Building General Manager Mike Biedron met with contractor Bulley & Andrews Masonry Construction last week and learned that work “in earnest” was not likely to get going until mid-November – about the time the job was originally expected to be completed.

The plan now is to work under winter conditions – doing any work possible until temperatures drop below 32 degrees and then wrapping up the terra cotta until warmer temperatures allow work to resume, Biedron said.

That plan, Biedron said, “could get us into December and maybe into January.”

The problem for Biedron and others at the Rialto is that they would like to have the scaffolding around the Rialto gone by the time the summer wedding season starts. The theater makes a nice setting for wedding party photos, but not so much when it is surrounded by scaffolding.

The entire project has been delayed by an effort to get just the right coloring so the replacement terra cotta matches what is on the building. Pieces of terra cotta have just begun to arrive from a manufacturer in England. Unfortunately, they have not been coming in the order needed to install the parapet.

“It’s not unusual for things to go wrong during construction phases,” Biedron said.

“You work through it. There are other jobs being done. But when the material does not come through, you can’t do anything.”

Contractor Bulley & Andrews still is waiting to get terra cotta pieces in the right order so that construction can move forward.

“We are receiving pieces,” said Jeff Reist, senior project manager on the Rialto job for Bulley & Andrews. “It’s receiving enough pieces and in the correct order so that we can begin work.”

Reist said more pieces of terra cotta are expected to arrive this week. But he did not expect enough terra cotta pieces to arrive to do any significant work until the week of Nov. 9.

“We’re still working through these issues, so we’re not entirely confident on the completion date,” Reist said.

The goal is to finish by June.

As to whether that can be done, Reist said, “The possibility is there.”

“It’s not unusual for things to go wrong during construction phases. You work through it. There are other jobs being done. But when the material does not come through, you can’t do anything.”

“There is an utter lack of true health care,” Dr. Heydinger says. “Our team is committed to caring for your health, instead of simply doing what everyone else is doing, which is ignoring the underlying causes,” Dr. Heydinger continues, referring to the growing number of drug stores and medical facilities in recent years. “They want to cover up the symptoms with drugs.”

Through homeopathic healing, Dr. Heydinger strives to empower his patients with self-knowledge of their bodies and the health benefits of natural healing.

“We understand the devastating

effects of inflammation and interference on the nervous system,” Dr. Heydinger says. “Nerve interference can cause everything from chronic headaches to heart attacks. Because of this, our mission is an urgent one.”

The benefits of natural healing are significant, Dr. Heydinger says. It can lead to less sickness and fewer preventable deaths, while providing healthier, happier lifestyles for children, families and marriages.

The principles of natural healing fall in-line with Dr. Heydinger’s mission for life and practice, which is to serve others while helping the community experience.

For weight loss, Dr. Heydinger is proud to offer the NutriMost Ultimate

Fat-Loss System, a doctor-supervised weight loss plan, and is excited to offer it in his New Lenox office.

Created by a leading natural health chiropractor, NutriMost has been proven safe and causes your body to melt away fat without making radical changes to your lifestyle.

That’s because it detoxifies your body while naturally balancing hormones through natural supplements and technological scans.

The program is even tailored to the problem areas on your body.

“The NutriMost system is so effective, we guarantee each patient a minimum 20 pound weight loss in only 40 days,” Dr. Heydinger says.

“That’s because of the powerful

technology we are able to utilize.”

That technology is able to assess the reason for weight gain, fat storage, metabolism rates and hormonal imbalances. Vitality Health Systems is excited to see lives changed through the natural healing ability of each of our bodies.

“We have already seen many people go through the program here in New Lenox,” Dr. Heydinger says.

“And they can attest to the life transformation they have experienced.”

Foster said in order to continue growing the region’s economy, “we need to invest in advanced manufacturing technologies and training in order to prepare our children to compete in a global workforce.”

Regarding immigration reform, Senger said the first step is securing the nation’s borders.

“It’s really a shame that we haven’t solved the problem,” Senger said. “We have to come up with a plan that will get one to legal status that’s done in a fair and honest way. You want to have a fair system and a system that is reasonable.”

Foster said he supports comprehensive immigration reform. He is a co-sponsor of the H.R. 15 reform legislation introduced in the U.S. House.

Job growth and immigration reform are among the issues in the race for the 11th Congressional District.

State Rep. Darlene Senger, R-Naperville, is challenging U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, for Illinois’ 11th Congressional District seat. The 11th District includes all or parts of Joliet, as well as Bolingbrook, New Lenox, Shorewood, North Aurora, Aurora, Naperville and Lisle.

Senger has been a state representative since 2009. Before that, she was on the Naperville City Council from 2002 to 2008.

Foster has held the seat since November 2012 after defeating former U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert. From 2008 to 2011, Foster represented Illinois’ 14th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was defeated for the seat by then-state Sen. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield.

Senger said she is concerned about Illinois’ lacklus-

ter job growth.

“I want to get back to the day where we have good policies in place to create not just more jobs, but Darlene quality jobs and Senger jobs with opportunities,” Senger said. “I feel bad for the kids in college. They have big college loans, but there is nothing for Bill Foster them when they get out.”

She said government over-regulation has helped dampen job growth.

“We’ve created 25 percent more regulations since 2008 than we ever have in the history of our country,” Senger said. “It is doing nothing but stifling and choking off opportunities that we could put in place.”

As a businessman, Foster said he understands the needs of business owners, including simplification of the nation’s

nationally and in Illinois, Foster said. “The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported that H.R. 15 would reduce the deficit by $900 billion over 20 years,” he said.

More students taking AP exams

By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – The number of Joliet high school students taking advanced placement exams has trended up for the past five years, with a huge leap from last year, according to a district report.

In 2014, 693 students from Joliet West and Central high schools took AP exams compared to 355 students in 2013 and 159 students in 2009, according to a report presented last week to the Joliet Township High School District 204 board.

Students at both schools took 1,096 AP exams total, compared to 632 in 2013 and 228 in 2009, reported Alberto Filipponi, one of the district’s curriculum directors.

“Statistics show that students who take AP classes, regardless of how they do on the tests, are more successful in college,” Filipponi said.

Of those total students, 226 were freshmen taking the AP Human Geography exam in the first year it was offered.

“This shows that these [ninth graders] are coming out of a culture which feels it is necessary to take these tests, which is something we have not seen before,” Filipponi said.

The district has worked on expanding its AP programs and improving test score averages by recruiting and tutoring students. It also has sought to increase participation by low-income and under-represented students, such as African-Americans and Hispanics, Filipponi said.

The district offers summer and after-school tutoring for students eligible for AP courses as well as those with scores that are nearly eligible.

The percentage of African-American students taking AP exams increased from

2015 JEEP WRANGLER Keeping the tradition alive SPONSORED BY

Chrysler • Jeep • Dodge

By Denise Freese First introduced in 1945, Jeep Wrangler has stood the test of time. Introduced as a military vehicle, it has evolved into the most iconic and noticeable vehicle on the road today. “So iconic, it is known to have it’s own wave, a signal Jeep owners give to other Jeep owners when they see each other on the road”, says Jim Kinney of Tyson Motor.

“The seven slot grille represents that it has driven on all 7 continents and the only 4x4 convertible that exists”, says Kinney.

According to TheCarConnection.com, Jeep goes to great lengths in the new model year to preserve the Wrangler’s authenticity. The top and doors are still completely removable, and the windshield can be flipped down. Drain plugs are included on all models so the interior can be hosed out after a run along wooded or dusty trails.

The 2-door Jeep Wrangler

and the 4-door Wrangler Unlimited are the two body styles available. They offer soft and hard tops (some owners choose both to switch for the different seasons). The cabin can be completely open, or the driver can choose the Freedom hardtop, which has removable roof panels for a T-top openair experience.

The larger 3.6-liter V-6 engine, now standard on the Wrangler, offers quicker acceleration, but what hasn’t changed is the experience the Wrangler gives off-road. The new models continue to offer a tough body-on-frame chassis, solid front and rear axles, along with plenty of clearance, a rugged underbody, and strong cornering capabilities.

Changes for 2015 include new paint colors and trim packages, as well as a new standard eight-speaker audio system, steel wheels with 31inch tires for Sport models, and a Torx tool set that’s standard on all models, allowing owners to remove the windshield or doors wherever they are.

seven to 10 percent from 2013 to 2014, while the number of Hispanic students rose from 26 to 30 percent, according to the report.

While encouraging, the statistics don’t match enrollment numbers for the two groups, Filipponi said. African-Americans make up about 25 percent of students enrolled and Hispanics make up 42 percent.

According to Filipponi’s report, of the 1,096 exams taken last spring, 42 percent were taken by low-income students, compared to 36 percent last year. In 2013, 64 percent of Joliet’s high school students were part of the free or reduced lunch program, which is a measurement of financial need.

JOLIET – Joliet Job Corps students, staff and special guests last week celebrated the 35th anniversary of the local training center and the 50th anniversary of the federal job training program.

This is the 50th year of the federal Job Corps, a youth employment training program created by President Lyndon Johnson in August 1964 as part of the “War on Poverty,” according to a news release from Joliet Job Corps.

The year also is a special one for Joliet Job Corps, created in Oct. 23, 1979, when then-Congressman George O’Brien dedicated buildings at the old Joliet Arsenal to the program, according to the news release. This year marks the 35th anniversary for the local program.

The Joliet Job Corps program was moved to the former Joliet East High School,

where it is located now, in 1983.

The Joliet Center was ranked No. 3 among the 125 Job Corps centers nationwide in the program year 2013-14, according to the news release.

On Thursday, the Joliet Job Corps marked the day with an assembly that included talks by governmental leaders and Joliet Job Corps staffers, including Robert Clary of Waukegan, a cement instructor who graduated from a Job Corps in Nevada in the late 1970s and spent more than 30 years working as a union cement laborer.

Others attending were Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante, County Board Members Denise Winfrey and the Rev. Herb Brooks, County Executive Larry Walsh and Job Corps Community Relations Council Chairman Val Rand. A letter from U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin praising Job Corps was read.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP – Charges are pending against a Beecher man police allege was drunk when he crashed his SUV, killing a passenger Saturday.

Steven Bigos, 43, had bought the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer the day before the crash on Indiana Avenue near Racine Avenue, Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said.

About 5:10 p.m., Bigos was driving east with his friend Michael J. Badali, 37, when he attempted to pass a 1986 Ford C8000 that was hauling grain, but clipped the front as he came back, Hoffmeyer said.

The Trailblazer rolled over several times and Badali was ejected from the vehicle and pinned underneath the front of it. Badali, who did not appear to be wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Will County Coroner’s office.

Bigos was taken to St. James Hospital for injuries. Police reports said Bigos remained hospitalized as of Monday morning.

Charges pending in crash

2 charged with marijuana possession, trafficking TROY TOWNSHIP – Two Ohio men were allegedly caught last week carrying more than four kilos of marijuana in their car.

Illinois State Police Lt. Rich Wilk said a trooper was on Interstate 80 near milepost 124, west of Interstate 55, at 5:15 p.m. Thursday when he noticed a silver Hyundai “following too closely.”

“When he had the vehicle pull over, the two occupants gave conflicting stories about where they were heading and were acting nervous,” Wilk said. The trooper called a canine unit to the scene and the dog “alerted” near the trunk of the car, Wilk said.

Police searched the vehicle and reportedly found 4,550 grams of marijuana in the trunk.

David R. Baughman, 28, of Akron, and Christopher J. Sedlock, of Tallmadge, also were carrying $11,173, Wilk said.

Both men were booked into the Will County jail on charges of marijuana trafficking, delivery of marijuana and marijuana possession.

Gun found during Joliet drug arrest JOLIET – Two people were arrested early Monday after police reportedly found them with marijuana and a gun.

Deputy Chief Ed Gregory said officers were on patrol at midnight when they saw two people inside a gray Nissan Altima in a vacant parking lot near Ottawa and Wallace streets.

Gregory said when the offi-

cers put a spotlight on the car, Andrew A. Tate, 20, got out “immediately” to approach them.

“They smelled the distinctive odor of burnt marijuana and Tate said he’d just smoked a joint,” Gregory said. Officers then searched Tate and found a bag of marijuana in his pocket, according to Gregory.

Tate’s passenger, Ameka S. Hartley, 25, also told police she had “a joint” with her, Gregory said.

Gregory said officers

searched the Altima to find a 40-caliber handgun by the driver’s seat and ecstasy pills.

Tate, of the 400 block of Florence Avenue, was booked into the Will County jail on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, unauthorized possession of ammunition and delivery of marijuana.

Hartley, of the 200 block of South Ottawa Street, was booked into the county jail on charges of drug possession and marijuana possession.

Madigan looks to extend tenure as attorney general

By KURT ERICKSON Lee Enterprises Newspapers SPRINGFIELD – The man seeking to unseat Illinois’ long-serving attorney general says it’s time for a change in the office.

Republican Paul Schimpf, a political newcomer from Waterloo, says he’s trying to make the case that Democrat- Paul Schimpf ic incumbent Lisa Madigan’s hold on the post should come to an end when her third term ends in Lisa Madigan January.

“It’s time to put a new set of eyes, a new perspective, in that office,” Schimpf said during a recent meeting with reporters at the state Capitol.

Madigan, who is seeking to extend her tenure as the state’s chief legal counsel for another four years, says the experience she brings to the table is serving the state well.

In a recent interview, Madigan said her experience gives Illinois an advantage when it comes to dealing with the many national lawsuits the state is involved in, ranging from mortgage fraud to identity theft.

“I have a body of expertise that has allowed me to work at a federal level in ways that have directly benefited our state, that somebody without that experience just wouldn’t be able to jump in and do,” Madigan said.

In a year in which a hotly contested race for governor has dominated the headlines, the contest between Madigan and Schimpf has been a lowkey affair. After handily beating lesser known and underfunded candidates in the two past elections, Madigan again finds herself up against a Republican with a small bank account and little name recognition.

Schimpf, 43, is a retired U.S. Marine Corps prosecutor.

His resume includes his role as the lead attorney advising Iraqi prosecutors in the trial of Saddam Hussein.

Schimpf served as rifle platoon commander in the Marine infantry and was a commander of an mortar platoon commander. He also led a military legal assistance clinic and served as an energy and environment strategist for an undersecretary at the Department of Defense.

In his first bid for office, Schimpf has traversed the state counting down 14 reasons to trust a Marine in 2014.

The focus of his argument for change is government corruption. He said Illinoisans shouldn’t have to accept corruption as if it were akin to cold weather during the winter.

“I think that the status quo we have now is not working,” Schimpf said. “I’ve met Lisa Madigan. She seems like a nice lady. If you’re happy with the way things are going, vote for her. I’m not happy with the way things are going.”

Other campaign pledges outlined by Schimpf include limiting himself to two terms in office, emphasizing the privacy rights of Illinoisans and ensuring veterans have access to health care.

He said Madigan has spent too much time focusing on consumer protection issues.

“I think government corruption is systemic throughout our state,” Schimpf said.

Madigan says her record is full of successful prosecutions of government corruption cases, including the recent ousters of two top elected officials in Rock Island County.

In September, she announced charges against three former officials of the Williamson County Circuit Clerk’s Office for theft of more than $84,000 in county funds for personal profit.

“The defendants took advantage of their positions for personal gain and in turn defrauded county taxpayers,” Madigan said in a statement at the time. “This case is another example of my commitment to ensuring public integ-

rity in Illinois government.”

Madigan, 48, is running for re-election after announcing in July 2013 that she would not be candidate for governor.

With her politically powerful father planning to remain in office as the speaker of the Illinois House, she said there would be too much of a conflict of interest if the two of them were serving at the pinnacles of state government.

She said the office has a broader role than just fighting corruption, including: n Opening up access to public records through the creation of a public access counselor, who assists the public and reporters in determining whether government records can be withheld by public bodies. n Battling mortgage fraud, student loan abuse and identity theft. n Cracking down on child pornography.

Her work on behalf of Illinois taxpayers to collect on national lawsuits has resulted in the return of $32 for every dollar her office receives through the state’s general checkbook.

“I have really refocused a lot of our efforts on how we are bringing resources back to the people of the state,” Madigan said.

As an example, she said the state has now crossed the $100 million mark in terms of recovering tax money from gas station owners who weren’t paying their share to the state.

The race is showing wide gaps in fundraising.

Madigan collected $282,963 in campaign contributions during the most recent fundraising quarter. She spent $849,015 during that same time period. She entered the final two weeks with more than $4.2 million in her bank account to spend.

By contrast, Schimpf entered the stretch run with just $7,853 in his bank account. He raised $68,655 and spent nearly the same amount.

Despite the money shortfall, Schimpf said he is in the race to win.

Illinois officials clarify state’s Ebola quarantine policy

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn and Illinois health officials took pains Monday to distinguish the state’s approach to Ebola from that of New York or New Jersey, where governors came under fire for ordering mandatory quarantines for health workers who helped fight the epidemic in West Africa.

The Illinois officials stressed that the state’s mandatory quarantine – if it ever were enforced – would take place at the person’s home, and they contended it is based on the best medical science. Illinois has no confirmed Ebola cases, and nobody is in quarantine.

Quinn said Monday anyone quarantined should be able to remain home where they’ll be more comfortable while monitoring their health, but they would be forced to stay there.

The governor’s office had announced a mandatory at-home quarantine late Friday without much detail. By Monday, state health officials were clarifying that few travelers will fit the “high risk” criteria triggering a mandatory quarantine in Illinois.

Ex-lawmaker could change plea in child porn case

CHICAGO – A former state representative is deciding whether to change his plea to guilty in a child pornography case.

A lawyer for Elgin Democrat Keith Farnham said Monday at a hearing in Chicago federal court his client is negotiating a plea deal. If that falls through, at-

torney Terry Ekl said, Farnham still could plead guilty without a deal or choose to go to trial.

Farnham, 66, pleaded not guilty earlier this year to possessing, receiving and transporting child pornography.

Judge Edmond Chang scheduled a change-of-plea hearing for Dec. 3. The judge will set a trial date if Farnham decides to stick to his not-guilty plea.

Farnham appeared in court clutching an oxygen tank. His attorneys said he’s suffering from bladder cancer, pulmonary fibrosis and hepatitis.

Medical marijuana dilemma: Where to get the first seeds?

CHICAGO – As more states legalize medical marijuana, there’s one stage in the process nobody wants to talk about: the

part where people still have to break the law.

After growers obtain licenses, plan for security and build facilities, they then must obtain their first seeds or cuttings – while regulators turn a blind eye.

“It has to be hush-hush,” said Bradley Vallerius, an attorney focused on the emerging industry in Illinois. “I’ve seen the moment where the client realizes this is a problem” – and wonders how they’re supposed to get started.

The situation is known as the “immaculate conception” or the “first seed” problem. While marijuana may not be hard to find, getting the first seeds for medical operations often involves either descending into the underground market or crossing state lines – a violation of state and federal laws.

2 Kankakee County men die in weekend shootings

KANKAKEE – Weekend shootings in Kankakee County have claimed the lives of local men.

Police said Tashon Jones of St. Anne was shot multiple times at a bar near the Indiana state line early Saturday. County Coroner Bob Gessner said the 24-yearold was pronounced dead at a local hospital about 1:30 a.m.

Gessner said Johan Rowe, 20, of Kankakee died at a hospital Sunday morning after he was shot in the abdomen in a separate incident.

Police are investigating both shooting deaths and consider them to be homicides. The Daily Journal said the deaths marked the county’s eighth and ninth slayings this year.

Quarantined nurse Kaci Hickox meets Sunday with prominent civil rights attorney Norman Siegel at the isolation tent at University Hospital in Newark, N.J., where Hickox was confined after flying into Newark Liberty International Airport following her work in West Africa caring for Ebola patients.

U.S. governors, Army go own way on quarantines for Ebola

By DAVID PORTER and COLLEEN BARRY The Associated Press NEWARK, N.J. – The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended new restrictions Monday for people at highest risk for coming down with the virus, and symptom monitoring for those at lower risk. But some state governors and even an Army commander have gone beyond that guidance.

As contradictory state policies proliferate in response to Ebola fears, the CDC’s recommendations mark an effort to create a national standard, one that would protect public health without discouraging people from helping fight its spread overseas.

The CDC now says even if they have no symptoms and are not considered contagious, people should stay away from commercial transportation or public gatherings if they have been in direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone sick with Ebola – say, by touching

their fluids without protective gear, or by suffering an injury from a contaminated needle.

Absent that direct contact, simply caring for Ebola patients or traveling in West Africa doesn’t warrant quarantine conditions, the public health agency said.

But quarantines are determined state by state in the U.S., and the CDC is only empowered to issue guidelines.

And even within the federal government, authorities were improvising Monday: a U.S. Army commander in Italy said he and all his troops returning from Liberia would remain in isolation for 21 days, even though he feels they face no risk and show no symptoms.

Kaci Hickox, a nurse who volunteered with Doctors Without Borders in Africa was released after being forced to spend her weekend in a tent in New Jersey upon her return, despite showing no symptoms other than an elevated temperature she blamed on “inhumane” treat-

ment at Newark International Airport.

President Barack Obama has told his Ebola team that any measures involving health care workers should be crafted to avoid unnecessarily discouraging people from responding to the outbreak.

That’s already happening, Doctors Without Borders said Monday: Some medical workers are reducing their time in the field to include potential quarantines afterward.

“The best way to protect us is to stop the epidemic in Africa, and we need those health care workers, so we do not want to put them in a position where it makes it very, very uncomfortable for them to even volunteer to go,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

But the governors of New York and New Jersey defended their quarantine policies as necessary precautions in dealing with a virus that already has killed nearly half the over 10,000 people infected this year in West Africa.

Marines and sailors with Marine Expeditionary Brigade – Afghanistan load onto a KC-130 aircraft Monday on the Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, flightline.

“There aren’t a whole heck of a lot of bad guys there left to fight,” the Marine Corps commandant at the time, Gen. James T. Conway, said in August 2008 with an eye on getting a piece of the Afghan action.

After the Marines had turned the tide in Helmand, the man who succeeded Conway, Gen. James Amos, said in 2011 that it was time to begin handing over control to the Afghans, whose ability to handle the Taliban and unify their fractured country would

ultimately decide the outcome of the U.S. chapter of this war.

“We can’t stay in Afghanistan forever,” Amos said.

While there, the Marines took on the Taliban, mentored Afghan soldiers and executed a protect-the-population counterinsurgency strategy. They also suffered at the hands of Afghan allies who periodically turned their weapons on them in “green-on-blue” killings that peaked in 2012 but have since subsided.

The Marines point with pride to their successes in

Could more have been done for Ebola victim Duncan?

By EMILY SCHMALL, RAY HENRY and WILL WEISSERT The Associated Press DALLAS – When Thomas Eric Duncan became the first diagnosed case of Ebola in the United States, his relatives with roots in virus-ravaged Liberia knew what questions to ask.

Would his treatment include experimental drugs?

Was a blood transfusion from a survivor an option? What about a transfer from the hospital in Dallas, where he was being treated, to one of four medical centers nationwide that specialize in highly infectious diseases like Ebola?

Duncan, poor and uninsured, did not get all the help his family members wanted, and they now question why his care was different in some ways from that of Americans infected with the deadly virus who survived. Of the nine people who have been treated for Ebola in the U.S., only Duncan

has died.

“We asked.

We begged.

We pleaded. I even offered my own blood, even though Thomas Eric i t w o u l d n ’ t Duncan do anything for him,” said nephew Josephus Weeks, who was so close in age to Duncan that they were raised like brothers. “We requested everything we could think of to save Eric. They said no.”

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas spokesman Wendell Watson said “many treatment options” were considered, including experimental drugs and a transfusion.

What could be done to save Duncan was “discussed daily” with experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Emory University in Atlanta, which has a special isolation unit that successfully treated other Ebola patients. He said all parties de-

cided to leave Duncan in Dallas, where he died Oct. 8.

Duncan’s medical records, which the family shared with The Associated Press, note the smallest details of his treatment: what he ate, how he looked, the fluids and drugs pumped into his Ebola-ridden body.

The records probably reflect a fraction of the discussions over Duncan’s care. Still, they say relatively little about experimental treatment. Five days passed from the time a doctor first suspected Ebola, when Duncan returned a second time to the ER on Sept. 28, until hospital officials noted they were trying to secure an experimental drug, brincidofovir, for Duncan on Oct. 3.

Worried about the delay, Weeks texted his hospital contact on Oct. 4.

“Is there an experimental treatment we need to speak about?” Weeks said in a text message exchange with a Presbyterian Hospital liaison, Jen-

nifer Rainer. “He has gotten a first dose,” Rainer replied minutes later, adding that she could not say whether the drug was working.

Duncan received another dose of brincidofovir on Oct. 7 — the day before he died, records show.

Experts disagree on whether getting Duncan an experimental drug sooner, giving him a different drug or a blood transfusion would have made a difference.

“No real way to know, since there are absolutely no data on it,” said Dr. Greg Moran, an emergency and infectious disease specialist at UCLA. But Dr. Thomas Geisbert, an Ebola expert at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, said he had trouble understanding why four days elapsed between Duncan’s confirmed test results on Sept. 30 and his first treatment. And he was surprised by the choice of experimental drug given to Duncan.

By HUSSAIN AL-QATARI and ADAM SCHRECK The Associated Press KUWAIT CITY – The United States is pressing Arab nations and other allies to do more to counter the Islamic State group’s slick propaganda campaign, with a top American envoy on Monday describing efforts to combat the extremist messages as a vital pillar in the fight to defeat the group.

The Islamic State group that has seized large parts of Iraq and Syria and declared a self-styled caliphate, or Islamic empire, in areas under its control embraces social media platforms such as Twitter and YouTube.

Hollywood-style film clips and other elements of its media campaign boost the group’s credibility among disaffected but plugged-in young Muslims and help it promote its conquests, inspire sympathizers and attract new recruits.

Speaking at a gathering of anti-IS coalition partners in the oil-rich Gulf nation of Kuwait, retired U.S. Gen. John Allen said it is up to all members of the alliance to “clearly, forcefully and consistently” reject the group’s ideology and offer alternatives to it.

Allen, who is tasked with coordinating the U.S.-led coalition, characterized the fight in the communications sphere as a crucial element of an overall strategy that also includes confronting the group militarily and attempting to cut off its finances.

“It is only when we contest ISIL’s presence online, deny the legitimacy of the message it sends to vulnerable young people and expose ISIL for the un-Islamic cult of violence it really is ... that ISIL will truly be defeated,” he said, using an alternate acronym for the group.

WASHINGTON – The Marines’ handover of Camp Leatherneck to the Afghans is more than a signal that America’s longest war is ending.

It is a reminder that the Marines’ battlefield gains were tempered by losses: 378 killed, nearly 5,000 wounded.

Camp Leatherneck is the sprawling base in Afghanistan’s Helmand province from which the Marines surged against the Taliban in 2009.

The keys to Leatherneck were turned over to Afghan authorities Sunday in a ceremony that also marked the handover of Camp Bastion, an adjacent British-run airfield.

Helmand province was the epicenter of President Barack Obama’s surge against the Taliban. The Marines focused on it so completely that some dubbed the patch of desert “Marine-istan.” It was the fight the Marines itched for after they switched their attention from Iraq’s Anbar province, which by 2008 had grown so quiet that Marines complained of boredom.

Helmand, where Afghan security forces now are in charge.

But some question whether those gains will be sustained after the Marines are gone and the Taliban seek another comeback.

Just two years ago at the British-run Camp Bastion, adjacent to Leatherneck, the Taliban pulled off arguably their most stunning attack on a NATO base of the entire war: Fifteen insurgents breached the camp’s security perimeter and, using grenades, machine guns and other light weapons, killed two Marines and destroyed or heavily damaged nine aircraft.

In all, about 76,000 Marines served in Afghanistan since 2001, mostly in Helmand, according to Marine Corps records.

The Marines are now departing as the U.S. prepares to complete its combat mission in December and transition to a NATO-organized follow-on mission, called Resolute Support, to train and advise Afghan forces. There are still a little over 21,000 American troops in Afghanistan, down from a 2010-2011 peak of 100,000.

OPINION

Impropriety appearance always in eye of beholder Perhaps the worst thing to happen to journalism over the years is its simplistic over-reliance on the mere “appearance of impropriety” to justify big, splashy stories.

No actual wrongdoing need ever be found, just something that might look a bit fishy to a reporter’s overly suspicious eyes.

There’s no need to “prove” anything, just one or two distant connections to justify destroying somebody’s reputation.

That brings us to Dave McKinney, who resigned last week as the statehouse bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times.

McKinney married political consultant Ann Liston in April.

Months before, however, McKinney, Liston and her business partner, Eric Adelstein, constructed a super-strong “firewall” between Liston and Illinois politics.

Adelstein formed a new company to handle all Illinois accounts, and Liston would not participate in those campaigns or receive any compensation. The Sun-Times signed off in January.

That should’ve been the end of it. The Rauner campaign knew about McKinney’s marriage and never complained, especially when McKinney repeatedly and thoroughly gutted Gov. Pat Quinn over his botched 2010 anti-violence initiative.

Rauner’s campaign waited until October to play the “appearance of impropriety” card against McKinney when the Sun-Times ran a big story about how two people swore in affidavits Rauner had issued threats against a top female executive at one of his investment firm’s companies.

After failing to derail the piece, the Rauner campaign attacked McKinney, who was just one of the story’s three authors.

Rauner’s campaign falsely charged Liston was directly involved with, and directly profiting from, anti-Rauner efforts in Illinois. McKinney never should have been put on the story, they claimed, even though two other

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller reporters were involved, both from the local NBC TV affiliate, and the paper’s editors thoroughly vetted and approved the piece.

Instead of just telling the Rauner people to go suck an egg, McKinney’s bosses sidelined the reporter for the better part of the week. Rauner successfully had used the “appearance of impropriety” attack against one of the state’s top political reporters just three weeks before an election.

McKinney hired a former federal prosecutor and quickly was taken off his informal suspension.

But the paper balked at putting McKinney back on his own beat.

He was offered other positions, which he considered demotions.

Then his editors initially refused to put his byline on a follow-up piece to the Rauner threat story.

Appearances, ya know.

McKinney quit.

But the Sun-Times has its own “appearance of impropriety” problems. Rauner owned 10 percent of the paper until last year. A published report claims Rauner bought 900,000 shares of a once-struggling business controlled by the chairman of the Sun-Times’ parent company.

Even worse, the paper’s publisher called the Rauner campaign’s allegations against McKinney, “spurious,” as well as “inaccurate and defamatory.”

Yet that same publisher reversed his almost-3-year-old policy of never endorsing candidates and approved an enthusiastic endorsement of Rauner. Many asked why he would back someone for the state’s top job after the candidate had “defamed” the guy who would be covering Rauner if he’s elected.

• Rich Miller also publishes Capitol Fax, a daily political newsletter, and CapitolFax.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR VOTE DEMOCRATIC OR GO BROKE To the Editor:

It must be election time again because Bob Lemke is overdosing on Republican Kool-Aid. First of all, Larry Walsh Jr. is not a Chicago machine puppet. He has served Will County voters in different capacities for the past several years. Lemke wants to replace Sen. Dick Durbin with a milkman who has run in, and lost, more elections than I can count.

Bill Foster does not favor Muslim over Christian freedoms but stands for freedoms for all people. Lemke claims Democratic tax policies drive jobs overseas.

How about Mitt Romney and Bruce Rauner exporting American jobs?

Give me a break, Bob. Voters, go blue or go broke.

A special congratulations to

On the 42nd anniversary of the Clean Water Act, a new report from Environment Illinois, “Waterways Restored,” highlights the success

the law has meant for the Apple River – a tributary to the Mississippi – that was threatened by pollution from a factory farm.

All of Illinois’ waters deserve a success story. But right now, a loophole in the Clean Water Act has left 55 percent of Illinois’ streams – including those that feed into the Apple River – vulnerable to pollution.

Thankfully, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed closing this loophole to protect all of the state’s rivers and streams.

The agency is taking public comments on its rule until Nov. 14, but polluters such as agribusinesses and big developers are waging a bitter campaign against it.

The Clean Water Act has meant progress for the Apple River, but its promise isn’t yet fulfilled. That’s why it’s so important for the EPA to stand up to the polluters and restore safeguards for all of the rivers and streams that crisscross our state.

Joliet Central falls to Andrew in regional

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After seeing Andrew rattle off 13 straight points against them in the first set of Monday’s Class 4A Joliet Central Regional opener, the host Steelmen looked as if they might exit the playoffs without providing much opposition.

But not only did Central put up a spirited fight in the second game, it got to within a point of forcing a decisive third set.

However, Andrew scored the last three points to help it rally from a 15-7 deficit in the second set to claim a 25-9, 26-24, victory over the Steelmen and advance to Tuesday’s 5:30 p.m. semifinals against Plainfield Central.

Marian Catholic beat Thornton in the other opening-round match to earn a semifinal date with Plainfield East, which will also be played Tuesday.

“In the second game, our serve-receive kind of stepped up and we weren’t putting balls into the net – and that allowed us to do a little more offensively,” Central coach Suzzie Bambule said. “Ashley Hare was doing a good job of putting the ball down, and a lot of the girls were figuring spots out.

Even though the first game serve-receive wasn’t where it needed to be, the girls always

Joliet Central’s Maricela Morales keeps her eye on the ball to return the serve against Andrew during Monday’s Class 4A Joliet Central Regional. keep their spirit up going into the second game, and they’ll keep playing.”

The Steelmen used a 4-0 service run from Danielle Grigoletti and six straight service points from Hannah Gawenda to build an eight-point lead over the T-Bolts.

But Andrew eventually pulled even at 17, then grabbed a 20-18 lead before the hosts

regained the advantage, and things went back and forth the rest of the way.

After a block by Jicara Tate and Shelby Fischer plus a wide hit, Central took a 23-21 lead.

But the T-Bolts tied it on kills from Darina Postupaka (five kills) and Kaileen Herman.

After Central went up, 2423, after a net serve, Andrew closed things out by getting

kills from Alexi Pranckus (six kills) and Lauren Durkin (five kills) and a wide hit for the last point.

Hare had four of her five kills in the finale, while Hana Cromer added a kill and was in on a block with Stephanie Cardenas during the second set.

“It was really cool to be able to be on the varsity for three

years,” said Cromer, one of her team’s four seniors. “I’ve learned so much with the teammates that we’ve been with, and also with Mari (Morales), since we’ve been a pair all of our lives. Mari and I play club, and others can see that.

I’ve talked to freshmen to tell them to play club so it can help them.”

Things started out well enough for Central after Cromer served up the first four points in the opener, and it still held a 5-3 lead after a kill

by Fischer.

But Andrew moved in front after a pair of aces from Mary Farrelly and then broke things open with a 13-0 run that featured 12 straight service points from Pranckus, including four aces during that stretch.

Morales, the team’s other three-year varsity player, was happy to have been a part of the Steelmen program since it was restarted when she was a freshman on the junior varsity.

“Since I’ve been on this team the past three years, everybody worked together well, so I’m glad that I was on a team like that,” Morales said.

“Things definitely have moved in a good direction for our program. I’ve played with a great group of girls who’ve taught me their skills, and I hope that Hana and I have taught the rest of the girls how everything works.”

Trestman: ‘These are things that are correctable’ BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Bears general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman met the media to answer questions on the day after the Bears’ 51-23 loss to the New England Patriots and expressed a firm belief the season could be saved.

Trestman explained things will get better after the bye, “Because it shows up that we can get it done. These are things that are correctable.

“Our ability to create some turnovers will help us. Our ability to match up better will help us. I’ve seen this happen over time after a bye week, where teams find themselves.

“And I feel confident that we’re going to find our way through this and get back in a position where we are playing

more consistently, to where we are playing the kind of game we played against Atlanta, that we played against San Francisco.”

It is, however, exactly that kind of answer that creates more questions than confidence.

The Falcons are one of the worst teams in the league, and the Bears were awful against the 49ers for three quarters and aren’t in that game if San Francisco doesn’t commit 16 penalties and four bad turnovers.

Emery analyzed Jared Allen’s play to date.

“When I watch him on tape, I don’t see that he lacks quickness or speed. He’s made several rundown plays from the backside. Jared got the quarterback [Brady] on the ground three times after his release. Obviously those aren’t sacks. In terms of the common relationship with his age, I

don’t see that he lost speed and quickness.”

I don’t know what Jared Allen has left and I’m not disputing what Emery is seeing on tape.

But what good are pressures or hits when Brady was 30 of 35 and four of his five incompletions were drops. So he was this close to perfect with 354 yards, five touchdowns and no sacks.

Where is the upside so far from the addition of Allen?

Emery said this about why Jay Cutler still struggles with certain fundamentals.

“In the past, he was better than everybody around him, and when you’re better than everybody around you, you’re pressed to make plays. Coming out of Vanderbilt, some of his things from a technical standpoint were concerning, in terms of coming off the back foot, protecting the football.

Jay, like a lot of players in

that position, has a little bit of a gun-slinger personality in terms of, ‘I want to be the guy making the plays.’ He trusts his arm. Those are habits. Habits are hard to improve.”

Really? Then why did he just guarantee Cutler $54 million over this and the next two seasons?

Trestman said of Cutler “his leadership’s been at a premium.”

Since leadership has been such a hot topic lately, I asked Trestman if he could explain what he meant by that and he responded, “Every day it starts with him and how he comes into this building.

“His work ethic is exemplary. How he practices is exemplary. We have tremendous practices here. We have very good competition here. That starts not only with Jay but with a lot of guys in our locker room that have played a lot of football.

“It starts with Jay in that manner because he does set the tone as most quarterbacks do in terms of how a team works and his work ethic is second to none in the building.”

Those practices and competition have yielded a 3-5 football team. I didn’t ask about his work ethic. Does that explain leadership to you?

Let me be clear. Jay is not what’s wrong with the Bears, he is just a piece of a much bigger puzzle.

Emery and Trestman are guys it would be easy to pull for and many of you would really like to see them succeed.

But after listening to them Monday, I’m afraid I came away with a lot more questions than I did answers, or hope.

BEARS REPORT

Emery, Trestman: Balance, consistency key to 2nd half

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – Bears general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman sat shoulder-to-shoulder Monday afternoon and tried to put as much of a positive spin as they could on a 3-5 record.

Although disappointed, both men insisted that major changes weren’t needed to reverse the Bears’ course, saying instead, that everything they needed to get things back on track is located within Halas Hall’s four walls.

But after the Bears were overwhelmed in a 51-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday – marking the fourth time this season Trestman’s team has faced a double-digit deficit at halftime – Emery and Trestman acknowledged that an offense that was supposed to have been the Bears’ strength this year simply hasn’t met expectations during the first half of the season.

Trestman stressed that he and his staff would spend the bye week searching for systematic issues and bona fide solu-

tions. Although many have pinned the Bears’ offensive struggles on quarterback Jay Cutler’s lack of leadership and an offensive line that hasn’t managed to stay healthy, Trestman instead suggested that creating more of a balance between the run and the pass could provide some answers.

“When we do that,” Trestman said, “we seem to be able to do a much better job of moving the football that way we like it.”

Of the 487 offensive plays they have run in eight games, the Bears relied on the pass 61.3 percent of the time while running the ball on just more than 38.6 percent of their plays from scrimmage. Cutler, who signed a seven-year, $126.7 million contract – $54 million of which is guaranteed – has been the poster boy for the inconsistency that has plagued the Bears offense in the first half.

Cutler had two more turnovers against the Patriots – continuing a trend that has been a theme in each of the Bears’ five losses. Opponents have taken advantage of Cutler’s miscues, turning them

“I feel confident that we’re going to find our way through this and get back into a position where we are playing more consistently ... .”

Marc Trestman Bears head coach into 44 points. Cutler, while completing 67.2 percent of his passes, has been intercepted eight times while being sacked 20 times. Cutler has also spent a lot of time under duress behind an offensive line that has plagued by injuries – including left guard Matt Slauson, who tore a pectoral muscle against the Patriots and will miss the remainder of the season.

Despite Cutler’s shortcomings, however, both Emery and Trestman gave Cutler a vote of confidence Monday, insisting that he’s one of the leaders who will help get the Bears turned in the right direction.

But like with everyone else on the Bears’ roster, Emery said Cutler – whom he characterized last week as elite – shoulders some responsibility in the Bears disappointing

start.

“Obviously, we’re a 3-5 team and he’s a 3-5 quarterback right now,” Emery said. “There’s a lot of things he’s got to get better at. There’s a lot of things we have to get better at.”

While the Bears, at times, have shown the ability to connect on the kind of explosive plays that made their offense one of the league’s best last year, Emery also stressed the need to create more balance between the run and the pass.

Running back Matt Forte has been the team’s biggest workhorse, but was under-utilized – especially in the Bears loss to the Dolphins, when he had only two carries in the first half.

Like Trestman, Emery – who also said the Bears have to do a better job of exposing

matchups that favor them – said Monday that evening out the pass-run ratio could go a long way in the season’s second half. Emery insisted that righting the ship won’t include sweeping changes – either in coaching personnel or how Trestman and his coaches divvy up their job duties.

With that said, Trestman said everyone inside Halas Hall will spend the bye week hard at work, attempting to make some fixes before the Bears face the rival Packers at Lambeau Field in just under two weeks.

“These are things that are correctable,” Trestman said.

“Our ability to create some turnovers will help us. Our ability to match up better will help us.

“I feel confident that we’re going to find our way through this and get back into a position where we are playing more consistently, to where we are playing the kind of game we played against Atlanta, that we played in San Francisco.

This team has that in them.

We’ve just got to put it all together.”

WORLD SERIES GAME 6: 7:07 P.M. TUESDAY ON FOX

Royals turning to Ventura in World Series Game 6

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Royals turn to a 23-year-old rookie to save their season, but not just any 23-year-old rookie: the hardest-throwing starting pitcher in the major leagues.

Yordano Ventura gets the ball Tuesday night with the Royals trailing, 3-2, in the World Series – the same position they were in when they sent Charlie Leibrandt to the mound against St. Louis 29 years ago. Kansas City won, 2-1, that night on pinch-hitter Dane Iorg’s two-run single in the ninth after a blown call by first base umpire Don Denkinger, and the Royals went on to blow out the Cardinals a day later, 11-0, for their only title.

“We have a lot of confidence in Ventura. We have confidence that we will win every time he takes the mound,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “We know we can do it. We’re a confident group. But we can’t do anything without winning Game 6. We’re excited to get back home, where we feed off the fans and that energy.”

In a matchup of Game 2 starters, the Giants go with 33-year-old Jake Peavy. Ventura, whose fastball averaged 98 mph this season, didn’t get a decision in the second game, allowing two runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings before Royals manager Ned Yost went to his hard-throwing HDH relief trio. Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland combined to allow one hit – Brandon Crawford’s twoout single in the ninth – and the Royals won, 7-2.

Peavy took the loss, giving up four runs and six hits in five innings-plus. He is seeking his first World Series win – he got a decision for Boston in Game 3 last year.

“He’s one of the tough guys out there on the mound,” Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval said. “He wants to finish it Tuesday.”

The second all-wild card World Series has followed the pattern of the first in 2002.

The Giants won the opener on the road, lost the next two games and won two in a row to take a 3-2 lead. San Francisco opened a 5-0 lead in Game 6 at Anaheim but lost, 6-5, and the Angels won Game 7 the next night.

Yost hopes history repeats and Ventura is energized by the Kauffman Stadium crowd.

“The place is going to be absolutely crazy,” he said.

“We’ve got to walk the tightrope now without a net, but our guys aren’t afraid of walking the tightrope without a net. We fall off and we’re dead.

But we win Tuesday, nobody’s got a net: It’s going to be winner take all. So we think it’s going to be fun.”

San Francisco’s Tim Hudson and Kansas City’s Jeremy Guthrie would be the likely Game 7 starters if the Series is extended to Wednesday. And lurking is Madison Bumgarner, who pitched a four-hit shutout to win Game 5 on Sunday. Bumgarner, 4-0 in Series play with a record-low 0.29 ERA, could come out of the bullpen on two days’ rest for what would be his first relief appearance since throwing two scoreless innings in Game 6 of the 2010 NL championship series.

He wouldn’t estimate how long he could go.

“I’m not a big pitch-count guy,” he said. “So as long as you keep getting outs and you feel good, you should stay out there.”

San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner throws during the eighth inning of Sunday’s Game 5 in San Francisco.

• Tuesday, October 28, 2014

Kansas City Royals watch the ninth inning from their dugout during Sunday’s Game 5 of the World Series against the San Francisco Giants in San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO – Buster Posey was annoyed. Playfully so. The Giants catcher wanted Madison Bumgarner to do more than barely break a smile after a brilliant pitching performance put San Francisco one win from another World Series title.

No way, Buster.

Because in this postseason full of stars and surprises, who knows? Heck, Bumgarner still might have more work to do.

Baseball took its final break Monday before the Giants and Royals settle things.

Holding a 3-2 edge, San Francisco will try to claim its third championship in five years Tuesday night when the wild-card matchup resumes at Kauffman Stadium.

The day off gave fans a chance to savor what they’d already seen in the past month, and there was plenty – the success of Bumgarner, Lorenzo Cain and Yusmeiro Petit, the struggles of Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout and Detroit’s aces, a rack of tight games and one that went 18 innings.

“Clayton who? MadBum!” one man yelled as he exited AT&T Park after the Giants won 5-0 Sunday night.

Could be a lot more cooking in this October oven, too.

Maybe Ned Yost even had it right.

“Oh, man, somewhere inside of me, secretly I had hoped that it would go seven games for the excitement and the thrill of it,” the Kansas City manager said after a loss in Game 4. “Sure looks

that way.”

Perhaps it’s only fitting this Fall Classic ends at Kauffman Stadium, a place hosting playoff baseball for the first time in 29 years. The Royals started this pulsating postseason at home with a 9-8 comeback win in 12 innings over Oakland in the AL wildcard game, a thriller that began on the last day of September and nearly stretched into October.

That captivating night in Kansas City set the stage for a month to remember: dramatic finishes, favorites falling and underdogs overachieving, stars slipping and new ones shining.

What happens next is anybody’s guess. “We know we can do it,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said.

“We’re a confident group.

But we can’t do anything without winning Game 6.

We’re excited to get back home where we feed off the fans and that energy.”

Veteran Jake Peavy starts for the Giants against rookie Yordano Ventura – not exactly the matchup many would’ve predicted in April.

Of course, no star has burned brighter than a 25-year-old lefty from North Carolina, the one who peeved Posey with his tempered postgame reaction.

Bumgarner’s dominant performances in Game 1 and Game 5 – not to mention in every previous round of the playoffs – have put San Francisco one win away from another parade down Market Street, something Willie Mays, Barry Bonds and generations of Giants fans had dreamed of for so long.

No Excuse Mom-Joliet makes fitness fun and possible

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Know more

Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – No Excuse Mom-Joliet means business.

Nothing deters the group from its goals of keeping or getting fit, not even babies and toddlers. In fact, their little ones usually join in group workouts.

“We can do squats and lunges with them,” said Ashley Gentile of Joliet, group co-leader, “and we do push-ups with them underneath, and we’ll tickle them. With our group, it’s fun because you have other moms who can be your cheerleader.”

The adults form a circle and spread blankets in the middle for their kids to play on while they exercise. If the kids start crawling off, there’s always a watchful mom to steer them back in.

The goal is not simply to lose weight and look good. Gentile said the group’s focus always is the family – getting moms and kids healthy – and that takes a “no excuses” mentality.

“Things are going to happen in your life,” Gentile said, “and you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, so you just have to get up and go.”

No Excuse Mom is a nationwide nonprofit group that encourages women to place priorities on their health and on the health of their families.

According to the website, www.noexcusemom.com: “When they’re tired, they train. When they have no time to exercise, they find the time. When busy, they purposefully plan and prepare daily goals and meals to coincide with what they want out of life.”

That’s the plan Gentile sought after she became a mother 18 months ago.

Before her daughter was born, she worked full time and ate carryout food and pizza on the run. Occasionally, she exercised.

Something clicked the day her daughter was born.

“I wanted to be a positive role model for her,” Gentile said.

Gentile lost 75 pounds after childbirth by eating better and working out. She learned about the No Excuse Mom groups last spring and decided it would be a great program for her, since it correlated with her mindset and goals. She hoped it would fit other moms in the area, too, so she started the Joliet chapter in May. “It’s all nonprofit,” Gentile said.

Information can be obtained at www.facebook.com/groups/Noexusemomsjoliet/ or by calling Gentile at 815-791-5970.

In warm weather, the group meets in area parks. Beginning this week, they’ll meet at 10 a.m. Tuesdays in the gymnasium of Grace United Methodist Church, 1718 Avalon Ave., Joliet.

To keep it interesting, they vary workouts. Kinzler leads workouts once a month and includes a 20- to 25-minute high-intensity cardio workout – repeats of a minute or so of hard work followed by a half-minute of a breather – then a walk around the park or gym with their kids.

“We are all different shapes and sizes,” Kinzler said. “I have a stomach. My body is not perfect, and I’m Photos provided OK with that. I know I’m making my Moms wait at the starting line of the stroller relay race during the No Excuse Moms of health a priority.”

Like Gentile, Kinzler said she wants to be a good role model for her daughter, living a healthy lifestyle.

She doesn’t deprive herself of certain foods, but if she wants pizza, it will be only one or two slices with a large side of vegetables.

The exercise is just about daily. In addition to the workout sessions with No Excuse Mom, Kinzler has done “Everything is free.” motivation,” she said, “and to help kickboxing, Zumba, Richard Simmons Members celebrate their “non-scale others and to motivate others.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Computer programs make strange leads

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Wernher von Braun said, “The best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.”

But didn’t von Braun’s rockets need computers to guide them?

However, computers are useless unless programmed. And although many, many man-hours have been put into writing bridge-playing programs, they still cannot compete with humans.

As an example, look at the West hand in the diagram. What would you lead against four hearts after the given auction?

North-South were using two-overone game-forcing. South decided to overbid slightly, forcing to game with his two-heart bid. Instead, he might have responded three hearts, which would have shown at least six hearts and been game-invitational. North would presumably have passed that out.

Against four hearts, surely every human would have led the diamond king. Now, it is true that if declarer ducks that trick, West must shift to his heart king to defeat the contract for sure. But that is not an impossible play to find if West trusts his partner’s discouraging signal at trick one. (If West continues diamonds, South wins with his ace, ruffs his third diamond in the dummy, and leads the spade king to ruff out East’s ace. Then declarer can play two rounds of trumps, ruff West’s diamond exit, cross to dummy with a club, and discard his two club losers on the queen and jack of spades.)

At the table, the computer program sitting West led the spade 10! That is incomprehensible. Now South easily made his game.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – There is only so much you can do on your own. Learn to delegate tasks to people who have your best interests at heart. Protect what you have rather than going after something new. If you are realistic about your game plan, you will come out ahead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t offer private information to anyone.

A casual remark made to the wrong person will cause serious difficulties.

Social media must not be used to share your secrets or whereabouts.

Be careful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Contribute to your local food bank

or community in some small way.

Showing your generous side will spark the interest of someone you respect. A prosperous enterprise or partnership is likely to be suggested.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will be distressed and disappointed by someone who lets you down. If too much pressure is put on your relationship, you will need to consider backing away and moving along.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t hesitate to accept a leadership position within your organization or group. Influential individuals will be impressed by your knowledge and

innovative ideas, and your prestige will increase.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Come to terms with whatever is preying on your mind. Leave the past behind. It’s hard to move forward when you are still looking back.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An impromptu day trip or adventure will inspire you to explore unfamiliar places.

Plan an exciting holiday to somewhere new with someone you enjoy spending time with.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Not everyone will understand what’s going on in your personal life or your community.

Be diplomatic when expressing your views, and keep your explanations simple and easy to follow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t let your volatile emotions dominate your day. Try not to overreact if someone offers you unsolicited advice. Help will come to you from an unusual and mysterious source.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Many people will look up to you if you are conscientious and thoughtful. A recommendation will be made that will lead to a promotion. Include everyone in your good fortune.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you have been

spending too much time in front of the TV, take on a physical challenge.

Friends and colleagues may not join in, but don’t let that stop you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Honesty is the best policy, but you should also be mindful of other people’s feelings. A gentle suggestion will be more effective than force or making an outright declaration.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You will feel especially upbeat and optimistic today.

Share your good spirit with everyone you encounter. Your happiness will be infectious, and you will brighten everyone’s day.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff that fat cells are little factories that make hormones and immune system chemicals.

These substances influence our appetite, our metabolism – and inflammation.

To reduce inflammation, avoid or limit: • Refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pastries; • Fried foods such as french fries; • Soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages; • Red meat (burgers, steaks); • Processed meat (hot dogs, cold cuts); • Margarine, shortening and lard.

On the flip side are foods and beverages that reduce the risk of inflammation and chronic disease. Fruits and vegetables are particularly effective. Good choices are blueberries, apples and leafy greens, which are high in natural antioxidants and polyphenols. These are protective compounds found in plants. Nuts and coffee may also be protective.

Include plenty of these anti-inflammatory foods in your diet: • Tomatoes • Olive oil • Green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale and collards • Nuts, such as almonds and walnuts • Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines • Fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, apples, cherries and oranges • Spices, particularly ginger and turmeric If you’re looking for a dietary plan that closely follows the tenets of anti-inflammatory eating, consider the Mediterranean diet. This diet is high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fish and healthy oils.

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

Dear Doctor K: You’ve written that chronic inflammation has been linked to diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Is there anything I can do to fight inflammation without using medications?

Dear reader: Inflammation in the body is a double-edged sword. Short-lived inflammation, directed by your immune system at invaders like bacteria or viruses, protects your health.

But sometimes inflammation persists, even when there is no health threat.

That’s when it can become your enemy. Many major diseases have been linked to chronic (ongoing) inflammation, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression and Alzheimer’s.

The good news is that powerful tools to combat inflammation can be found in the grocery store. I spoke to my colleague Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. He explained that components of many common foods have anti-inflammatory effects.

By choosing the right foods, you may be able to reduce your risk of illness.

Consistently pick the wrong foods, however, and you might speed up the inflammatory disease process.

The same foods that contribute to inflammation are already generally considered bad for our health, so it’s easier to remember them.

They include sodas, refined carbohydrates, and red and processed meats. These foods affect inflammation directly.

They also contribute to weight gain, which is itself a risk factor for inflammation.

How does that happen? When you put on weight, the fat cells in your body become more numerous and also grow larger.

We used to think that what fat did was provide a storehouse of energy for when we needed it, sort of like insulation that protected us against the cold. In the past 20 years we’ve learned
