Will County 911 services in jeopardy

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Emergency 911 services for Will County residents may be in jeopardy because of the ongoing politically charged budget standoff in Springfield.

Emergency services statewide are paid for via landline and wireless fees, but the county’s six dispatch centers have not received wireless fee revenue owed to them since mid-August.

Steve Rauter, vice chairman of the county’s Emergency Telephone System Board, said he doesn’t understand why the state is no longer distributing the money to call centers, noting Illinois is supposed to serve only as a pass-through.

Rauner spokeswoman Lyndsey Walters said in an email Tuesday the blame is on state lawmakers who have “refused

to pass a balanced budget.”

“The governor has asked for structural reforms to free up resources to balance the budget, help the most vulnerable and to create jobs, which will grow the economy. Unfortunately, the majority party continues to block the governor’s reforms,” Walters said in the email.

Rauter said Will County’s 911 system “will be OK for a few months,” but he is worried about what happens when cash reserves dry up. He’s also concerned about other county emergency service centers downstate, which may be closer to running out of reserves and run the risk of shutting down and laying off staff.

“What do people do? Some of the fallback is ‘Try dialing the 10-digit for the fire station or the police station and hopefully someone will answer your phone,’ ” Rauter said. “They will not be able to do 911.”

Julie Ponce-Doyle, communications director for the Joliet Police Department’s 911 call center, said dispatch centers are pulling from reserves in the interim, and capital money previously earmarked for system upgrades now is being used to pay rent.

St. Clair County filed suit against the state earlier this month, arguing state officials must distribute critical 911 funding even without a budget in place. “[The state] is only supposed to be a pass-through. The state’s budgetary problem should not impact 911 services,” PonceDoyle said. “They can’t say the funding does not exist. Our citizens are paying the [cellphone tax] surcharge.”

Rauter said he is pushing local lawmakers to support House Bill 4305 – an appropriations bill filed Sept. 30 in the Illinois House that allows mon-

Downtown Joliet transportation project caught in funding crunch

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The downtown transportation center project is in trouble, running over budget and facing demands from the state that Joliet come up with nearly $5 million needed to finish the job.

Joliet wants to delay construction of a bus station until more money is available to complete the entire project.

But state officials are refusing to let Joliet put the bus station on hold, Steve Jones, special projects supervisor for Joliet, told the City Council on Monday.

“I think it’s fair to say the 1,200 daily riders of Metra and 150 riders of Amtrak have become unwitting victims of the [state] budget stalemate,” Jones told the council.

Jones said the state was willing to let the bus station wait but changed course after Gov. Bruce Rauner took office in January.

Called the Joliet Gateway Center, the project was de-

signed to bring public transit into one location in Joliet, including new train and bus stations, as well as realignment of railroad tracks.

The project was made possible by a $32 million state grant announced by thenGov. Pat Quinn in 2010. At the time, the project was estimated to cost $42 million.

Jones said total cost for the project now is at $49.7 million, and there is a $4.9 million funding gap that the state wants Joliet to cover.

“Really, what they’re saying is, Joliet, if you want the project to move forward, $4.9 million is your responsibility,” Jones said.

He said the city had a memorandum of understanding in progress with the Quinn administration that would have allowed the bus station to be delayed in order to finish a new train depot and commuter platforms.

Jones said the city has called on local state legislators to negotiate a compromise with the Rauner administration that will allow the

project to move forward.

IDOT spokesman Guy Tridgell said in an email Tuesday that the state’s “commitment to the multimodal station is unchanged.”

Tridgell said the state “is obligated to meet its current financial commitment to all of the transportation partners involved,” including Pace suburban bus service.

The bus station would replace the existing Pace hub outside of the Will County Courthouse.

Meanwhile, the city has shut down Union Station, the old train depot, and located temporary commuter platforms on the other side of the railroad tracks.

City Manager Jim Hock said the major purpose of the project was to move the platforms so commuters on the Heritage Corridor line no longer would have to cross tracks used by freight trains to board Metra lines.

“You can’t go back and use Union Station at this point,” Hock said. “Then the whole problem exists again.”

ey to pass through for Illinois lottery winners, the motor fuel tax fund for local governments and 911 call centers in spite of the budget standoff.

“It’s really sad when 911 is so trivialized when we’re being lumped in … with the lottery,” Rauter said.

Ponce-Doyle said she is concerned about what may happen if the budget impasse goes on much longer. She declined to elaborate, saying she “doesn’t want to scare people.”

Steve Figved, administrator of Will County’s 911 system, could not immediately be reached Tuesday for comment.

Companies seek younger workforce at Manufacturing Day

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Two groups of high school students raced Tuesday to see who could assemble a wooden chair the quickest.

The contest was taking place at a booth for the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters, one of about 30 vendors that came to Joliet Junior College to show students potential careers in manufacturing and the trades. The groups worked to piece the wooden chair together like a puzzle.

“This is about showing kids college isn’t for everyone. If they want to work with their hands, they can make a living,” Nicholas Sanfilippo, CRCC assistant coordinator said, about Manufacturing Day. Hundreds of high school students from Will and Grundy counties were exposed to career paths at the second annual Manufacturing Day, an event hosted by Joliet Junior College and the Three Rivers Manufacturers Association.

Students went from booth to booth learning about hydraulics, welding and operating cranes – sometimes from the seat of a simulator.

“It’s a chance for them to learn about manufacturing,” said Brent Connett, spokesman for Morris-based LyondellBasell, a plastics, chemicals and refining company.

“They can talk with engineers and companies to learn about jobs in their backyard.”

Connett said more younger people are needed in manufacturing companies and the trades, where a large amount of the workforce is eligible for retirement.

Among some of the students watching a virtual welding presentation at a booth was Jawuan Burks, a Plainfield high school student.

“It’s a lot of cool stuff,” Burks said about Manufactur-

Before students were set to explore a career fair of sorts, they were gathered inside the college gymnasium to hear a pep talk from Ray McElroy, a former professional football player from teams such as the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears.

McElroy pushed the students to have confidence in their dreams and plan for the future, especially with manufacturing. Tuesday may be a day where they might connect with a factory president or another person in the industry to land a job, he said.

“There are so many opportunities for you to take advantage of,” McElroy said to the crowd of students. “Taking

them could be your breakthrough.”

Some of the companies at the event included Dow Chemical Company, Exelon Generation and Nanophase

Technologies.

Students who train for manufacturing and trade jobs can start making money without the burden of student loan debt and take their skills

anywhere in the nation, said Steve Foltin, vice president of education and safety for Associated Builders and Contractors.

Like other company representatives, Foltin said there is a need for more young people.

“There is a shortage of trained, craft workers. There is a shortage of young people going into the trades,” he said.

Jefferson Street bridge project set to continue in the spring

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Jefferson Street bridge will have to be shut down again in the spring to finish a paint job that was started in July, Joliet Public Works Director James Trizna said Tuesday.

Trizna broke the news to the Joliet City Council when questions were raised as to whether the state would be done with the project by Oct. 15 as initially estimated.

The closing of the Jefferson Street bridge into downtown has created long traffic backups at other bridges during mid- to late-afternoon hours, and council members discussed how to avoid congestion during future shutdowns.

Trizna said he did not know when the bridge would be reopened. But it would be reopened without the paint job being finished, and shut down again sometime in the spring to complete the work, he said.

“They’re not going to finish it this fall,” he said.

“There have been too many delays. At some point, they’re going to reopen it.”

Councilman Jim McFarland noted traffic backups at the Jackson Street bridge and asked Police Chief Ben Benton to look into the possibility of having officers direct traffic to move vehicles along more quickly.

Councilman Michael Turk said the city should press IDOT to allow Cass Street to be converted to a two-way street during future bridge closings. He said that could relieve bridge conges-

“They’re not going to finish it this fall.”

James Trizna Joliet Public Works Director tion.

Water and sewer fees

The council approved increases in certain fees for water and sewer services by a 7-1 vote, with John Gerl voting no.

A proposal to increase the city’s monthly water and sewer rates remains on hold. But the council approved fee increases, including water connection fees and late payment penalties.

A 10 percent penalty will be charged for late payments.

Most water connection fees will go up from $120 to the new fee of $300.

Utilities Director James Eggen said the fee has not changed since 1990, and the higher fee will cover the city’s costs for water connections.

Handicapped parking penalty

Councilwoman Bettye Gavin asked the council’s Land Use and Legislative Committee to consider rolling back the $500 maximum penalty for parking in a handicapped spot.

The City Council voted a year ago to double the maximum fine to $500 at Gavin’s urging.

“It was not my intent to create an undue hardship on anyone,” Gavin said. “We believe we need some kind of teeth in the ordinance. I believe $350 would fit better.”

Resident Maureen Lentz talks with Plainfield Plan Commission members about the impact a controversial auto shop may have on her home, which sits next to the proposed development.

Residents clash with auto repair shop plans at meeting

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Plan Commission heard a controversial case for a special use permit and site plan review for the relocation of the Route 59 Auto shop off Route 59 and Fraser Road.

The case was met with heavy opposition by nearby residents.

The shop is being proposed on two acres of a larger site between the Vintage Harvest neighborhood and the Plainfield Congregational Church.

Residents of the Vintage Harvest subdivision opposed the auto shop, claiming it would harm their property values and cause noise pollution to bordering and nearby homes.

“This reminds me of a puzzle – you’re putting the wrong part in there,” said Plainfield resident Joe Kolibab.

The village staff addressed these concerns in attaching nine stipulations to the agreement, including additional landscaping buffer to the houses in the west, a trash and

A landscape buffer of two rows of trees separating the houses from the shop was proposed to help mitigate the sound along with a 15-foot berm.

Auto shop owners Richard and Linda Bauer agreed with the stipulations, but residents and supporters still rallied against the plans.

“I don’t care if you put four or five rows, there is no way this is going to work,” said local Realtor Leslie Hobbs. “This will be detrimental to adjacent properties. It will have a defi-

nite impact.”

Maureen Lentz, a resident whose home butts against the shop’s property line, brought in a tape measure Tuesday to demonstrate the proximity of the shop to the homes, which extends at least 45 feet away from the property line.

Her mechanic husband, Todd Lentz, brought tools typically used in auto shops to the board meeting and demonstrated how noisy they were in another room 45 feet away.

Several other residents also expressed concern about the noise that the shop would produce, especially with the auto shop.

“I’m trying to be as reasonable as I can,” Richard Bauer said, adding that he held a meeting with nearby residents several weeks ago.

Residents were concerned about noise coming from open doors, but Bauer said the village’s insistence on glass doors and restrictions in his current site off Renwick Road and Route 59 prevented doors from being closed at all times.

The auto shop still was under discussion at press time.

JJC board trustees welcome new members

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees became full again Tuesday.

Trustees voted to have Patricia Deiters and Alicia Morales fill the seats vacated by former Chairwoman Tina Markley and Trustee Barb Adams, who resigned unexpectedly at an August workshop meeting where Markley criticized board members before walking away. Adams left with no explanation.

At Tuesday’s meeting, trustees unanimously approved of appointing Deiters to the board.

All trustees – except Trustee Maureen Broderick – voted to approve Morales’ appointment.

The new trustees were sworn in by board Chairman Robert Wunderlich.

“This is an honor for me, for my family, for my community.

I am deeply humbled,” Morales said.

Deiters said she was “excited to get started.”

Broderick said she voted against appointing Morales because she “felt we had candidates that had better qualifications and no agendas.”

JJC Faculty Union President Robert Marcink said he was pleased to see the “table filled again.”

“It was a lot of work, and I congratulate you on getting it done and getting it done quickly,” he said. “That’s important because obviously we have a lot of business that needs to be done at the college, and we can’t do it without you.”

In the past year, JJC has moved forward on large scale projects, such as the Multipurpose Facility construction, Romeoville campus expansion and City Center building interior work.

Deiters, a JJC alumna, and Morales, a former JJC financial aid adviser, were two of three new trustees appointed to the board after a series of resignations since July. Former board chairman Jeff May resigned in July for health reasons, followed by Markley and Adams in August.

Before leaving the board,

“It was a lot of work and I congratulate you on getting it done and getting it done quickly. That’s important because obviously we have a lot of business that needs to be done at the college and we can’t do it without you.”

Robert Marcink JJC Faculty Union president Markley said there was a “backdoor attempt” at public humiliation from trustees because she rose from vice chair-

woman to chairwoman.

Since their resignations, trustees accepted applications from about 50 candidates and interviewed dozens of them throughseveralrounds.Among those who applied included former Channahon Mayor Joe Cook and Lincoln-Way District 210 board member Christopher McFadden.

After reorganizing the board, remaining trustees appointed former Trustee Dan O’Connell, a Joliet attorney, to May’s seat on Sept. 8. Deiters was one of the finalists for May’s seat. The seats for Morales, Deiters and O’Connell will be up for election in 2017.

Trustee Michael O’Connell – who was appointed in 2009 – plans not to run again, and his seat will be up for an election the same year.

LOCAL BRIEF Toddler hit by riding lawnmower

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP – A 2-year-old girl is expected to survive after being run over by a riding lawnmower Tuesday.

Will County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Tom Budde said the girl’s 64-year-old great-grandmother was mowing the lawn about 2:10 p.m. in the 2500 block of Plum Street in Plainfield Township.

“The great-grandmother said she’d seen the toddler playing with some sticks by the garage as she was mowing. She backed up the riding mower, felt an impact and heard a horrible scream,” Budde said.

The girl’s mother had been sleeping inside, but was awak-

ened by the screams. She and the great-grandmother were unable to move the mower off the girl before Plainfield firefighters arrived, Budde said.

Once firefighters removed the machine, the girl was flown to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood. Her “severe laceration to the upper leg” is not considered life-threatening, but extremely serious, according to police reports. Budde said evidence technicians were called to the scene and family members were interviewed, but no criminal charges are expected.

“There are no indications of foul play. This appears to be a very unfortunate accident,” he said.

company, wanted to build a 10,000-square-foot building with four loading docks and a parking lot to accommodate 25 to 30 trucks. The industrial park is located at Spencer Road and Briggs Street.

Residents argued the project will bring trucks into an area that cannot handle them.

“We need to look at something more conducive and more compatible with the surrounding properties out there,” councilwoman Jan Quillman said.

Quillman called for a vote on the permit. Councilmen Jim McFarland and Larry Hug suggested the vote should wait for the regular meeting Tuesday.

“We’ve publicly sent out the message that we’d only take action on Tuesday nights,” McFarland said.

Joliet Council No. 382

100 S. 129TH INFANTRY DR. • (815) 725-0746

NEW LENOX – A state representative has filed legislation asking the Illinois Auditor General to conduct a performance audit that would include a review of state funds at Lincoln-Way High School District 210.

State Rep. Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, along with state Sen. Michael Hastings, D-Tinley Park, filed legislation based on the financial Rep. Margo troubles at Lin- McDermed coln-Way. The district voted in August to shut down one of its four academic buildings to close the gap on multimillion-dollar deficits that have landed it on the state’s financial watchlist.

After McDermed held a town hall meeting specifically for Lincoln-Way residents, she decided to file a resolution seeking an audit from Illinois Auditor General William Holland. Residents at the meeting said they were upset at district

officials for their lack of transparency and financial accountability.

“One of the things that came out of the town hall was a request from folks to ask the Illinois Auditor General to do [an audit],” McDermed said.

Lincoln-Way officials are researching the scope of forensic and external audits requested by board members Sept. 24. The board members made their decision after thousands of residents petitioned for a forensic audit and board member Christopher McFadden recommended one.

Superintendent Scott Tingley said he was going to meet with McDermed to discuss the resolution. Lincoln-Way is audited by the Illinois State Board of Education regularly, and annual financial reports are submitted to the state, he said.

“My goal, as it has been throughout this process, is trying to continue to move this district forward to become more financially stable, and continue to provide opportunities for our students,” Tingley said. “In order to do that, we must move forward. In terms of looking at an audit or past practices, I’m fine with that. But our ultimate

goal is moving forward.”

He said he didn’t think it would be responsible to taxpayers to have multiple audits done. If district officials wanted to do an audit, they would want it done right and pay for it one time, he said.

Board President Kevin Molloy said Tuesday he didn’t read McDermed’s resolution but he was “100 percent in favor” of Hastings’ legislation on school closures. He also said he was supportive of Hastings’ bill because Hastings was once a board member.

Hastings has said he was proposing a bill that would make the school closure process more transparent and give the public a voice.

McDermed’s resolution asks the auditor general to conduct a performance audit by entering an intergovernmental agreement with Lincoln-Way. District officials would pay the cost of the audit.

The audit would include the district’s sources of revenue and expenses from fiscal 2005 to 2015. The audit also would determine if the board followed school code and board policy under several financial activities.

State lawmaker requests D-210 audit

• Wednesday, October 7, 2015

JOLIET – The Joliet City Council this week sided with homeowners in blocking a truck terminal at the Spencer Road Industrial Park.

Much larger projects, including an Ikea distribution center and Cadence Premier Logistics, have been approved by the council amid community opposition.

But Sun City Transportation, a company that planned maintenance and sales of up to 30 trucks, was turned down Monday, when the council broke from its usual practice of taking action only at its regular meetings Tuesday after hearing from residents opposed to the project. The council vote was 7-0 against a special-use

permit request for Sun City Transportation.

Councilman Pat Mudron abstained, noting he was not voting because of his position as president of the Joliet Country Club, which opposed the project.

Joliet attorney Richard Kavanagh, representing a couple who lives in the area, made a case against the project.

Kavanagh said Sun City Transportation did not provide traffic studies and other evidence required to support the project when it was approved by the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals. He also said city staff, which recommended approval of the project, should not have done so because of its proximity to homes.

Police: Victim shoots at would-be robber

The robber did not appear to be injured as he fled the scene, and the victim was not injured either, Benton said.

The suspect was described as a black man wearing a beige coat and black hat. He was carrying a black handgun.

• Wednesday, October 7, 2015

JOLIET – Police said a woman was robbed at gunpoint while loading her car Monday night.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said at 7:24 p.m. the 29-year-old victim was near Division and Hickory streets when she was approached by an armed man who took her purse.

“The victim’s teenage son ran after the suspect, but lost sight of him and heard a shot,” Benton said.

No injury or damage was reported, and the boy flagged down a passing police officer.

Benton said police canvassed the area and located a 28-yearold man at Marble and Center streets who matched the suspect’s description.

“The victims could not positively identify the man, who was taken into custody as the robber. He was not armed and did not have the purse, so he was released without being charged,” Benton said.

“The victim pulled a legal concealed-carry weapon, and he and the suspect began to shoot at each other,” Benton said.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – In 2007, the village of Plainfield’s capital account was in a $12 million hole.

Eight years of austere measures, significant reductions in staff and a conservative budgeting approach has the village in the process of replenishing its fund balances.

On Monday, trustees accepted the 2014-15 audit and management letter that confirms a clean bill of financial health. The audit was conducted by Naperville-based Sikich LLP. “We were in a very difficult financial condition,” Village

Administrator Brian Murphy said of pre-recession Plainfield. “We were in a negative cash position, couldn’t cover depreciation. Our funds have since then seen improvement year over year.”

This past year’s audit shows that the village’s capital and general fund balances are in the black.

“The village is in a better position than the end of the last fiscal year,” Director of Management Services Traci Pleckham said.

The total fund balance for the general fund was $10.29 million, $1.44 million less than the previous year.

“We did see an increase in operating revenues. However, those monies moved over

to cover capital fund costs,” Murphy said, noting the decrease in the general fund balance after the transfer.

The capital fund balance was at $5.45 million, an increase of $5.04 million from the previous year.

Auditors noted that along with deficit reduction, the village’s recent bond rating in-

crease and bond refinancing is expected to provide further savings.

Since 2007, one of the village’s main goals was to reduce its deficit. Since then, it has eliminated more than $10.94 million in its deficit, Murphy said.

Murphy said the general fund balance was at a healthy

40 percent. The village currently is trying to replenish the capital fund and water and sewer fund.

If there is a negative spot in the audit, it’s the water and sewer fund, which is $3 million in the red.

But Murphy said twothirds of that is being covered by operating funds. And the $1 million remaining represented depreciation costs, meaning the cash flow for the fund still was healthy.

“It’s better than I thought, actually,” Trustee Brian Wojowski said. “I’ve talked to people in the past saying [the village] was millions of dollars in the hole. Staff has managed to turn that ship around.”

LOCAL BRIEF

Plainfield house deemed uninhabitable after fire

PLAINFIELD – A Plainfield house sustained hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage because of a fire Monday.

A neighbor called 911 at 12:30 p.m. to report a fire in the back of a home in the 25400 block of West Pastoral Drive, according to a news release from the Plainfield Fire Protection District.

The fire was brought under control by 12:48 p.m., but it left heavy smoke damage throughout the two-story single-family house

and the home is uninhabitable.

No one was injured in the incident. Damage is estimated at $200,000 to $250,000, the release stated. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Plainfield Fire Protection District, Plainfield Police Department and MABAS 15 Fire Investigators.

First responders from Oswego and Naperville assisted in fighting the fire. Station coverage was provided by agencies out of Bolingbrook, Lockport, Minooka and Troy.

CHANNAHON – Connecting the village’s south neighborhood bike paths with one that crosses the DuPage River and the Illinois and Michigan Canal has been a goal of Channahon for several years, but state funding has been elusive.

Now, on advice that staff and at least two trustees have received, the village will hire an engineering firm to perform a Phase 1 engineering study on the project.

Public Works Director Ed Dolezal was one of those at Monday’s Village Board meeting who said he was told that having the study performed will make it more likely the project will get funded.

The big problem with east-west bike and pedestrian paths south of Route 6 in Channahon, according to Village President Missey Schumacher, is crossing the river and canal. Bridge Street, she said, where a bridge currently exists, is narrow and has no shoulders for bikers and walkers. A new path would be useful for recreational activities, she said, as well as for children going to the high school’s south campus and the area’s many parks.

Widening the bridge or building a separate structure are the options, together with constructing the remainder of the estimated 5,800 feet of the path.

The board approved hiring Strand Associates to conduct Phase 1 engineering for the multi-use path. The study will look at taking the path east from Hunters Crossing subdivision along West Bridge Street to South Fryer Street.

The study will include research on the bridge, the intersection at South McKinley Woods Road, existing wetlands, historic preservation, environmental and public concerns, traffic effects and path alignment alternatives. Some design also will be included.

The total study will cost $166,500, and the work will be a capital project for the village.

Before the vote on the funding, Trustee Debbie Militello cautioned the expense of the study might mean a cut in a future capital expenditure.

“I think we as a board need to figure out what we may need to cut,” she said. “We may need to cut something to make this work or we may end up with a budget deficit.”

Finance Director Heather Wagonblott said it was difficult to know if the village will be able to afford the entire amount of the project, as preparation of the budget is not yet at that stage.

In the end, trustees decided to award the project for an initial $75,000. By the time the engineering firm approaches that amount in work, the village will know whether the dollars will be available to complete the study.

CHARLOTTE L. BETTENHAUSEN Charlotte L. Bettenhausen (nee Leitzell), surrounded by family and close friends quietly passed away after complications from multiple cardiac arrests at the end of an 11year health battle.

Survived by her only son, Brian and his husband, Kieth; her sister, Laurey Kathleen Cline (Johnson), two cats, Holly and Lionel; two dogs, Hudson and Molly; and a network of friends, former co-workers, and online friends who will forever cherish the conversations they had with Charlotte on any topic from bacon to weather patterns.

Preceded in death by her husband of 21 years, Wallace “Butch” Bettenhausen Jr. who passed in 1999; her parents, John and Mary Lake (Cronenberg) Leitzell; and numerous cats and dogs who will be greeting her at the Rainbow Bridge.

Charlotte was born June 12, 1956, a lifelong resident of Joliet, IL, who lived out her desires to travel to exotic locations by voraciously reading books. A self-taught expert in Russian, European and Royal Family history. Charlotte was knowledgeable in many fields, as well as having an abundance of useless trivia at her disposal like how the date of death she had was the same day as Rock Hudson death in 1985, or Rod Stewart earned his first #1 hit with Maggie May in 1971.

She graduated Joliet West in 1974 as a member of the National Honor Society and scored a 36 on the written portion of the ACT test. She turned down the opportunity for a full scholarship at Harvard University so that she could stay in Joliet and remain close to her friends.

Charlotte had many jobs in Joliet prior to retiring from Lexis Nexis in 2013. Her job history includes: Moles Den music store, Montgomery Ward’s, Venture and the Joliet Herald News where she was a common sense columnist.

Charlotte was an early supporter of gay rights which she proved by giving Anita Bryant the finger during a news conference in 1979, and donating time, energy and money to early AIDS relief efforts. She proved it again in 2009 when she was the only one in attendance at her son’s wedding.

In her spare time Charlotte enjoyed creating things of beauty with her hands. She painted ornaments, created a Christmas village and completed needlepoint projects, artistic drawings and coloring.

Charlotte was a huge Beatles fan, so it will give her great comfort to know her services will be scheduled for John Lennon’s birthday.

Charlotte was dedicated not only to equal rights for all humans, but also loved animals. Over the years she had many pets, including the one who held her first screen name TenCats156 on AOL. Memorial services will be held at the Carlson-Holmquist-Sayles Funeral Home, 2320 Black Road, Friday, October 9, at 3:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers memorials to the family will be appreciated.

STATE & NATION BRIEFS Mautino recommended Top general: Keep more for Illinois Auditor General U.S. troops in Afghanistan

SPRINGFIELD – A bipartisan legislative panel on Tuesday recommended longtime state Rep. Frank Mautino to serve as Illinois’ next auditor general.

The Spring Valley Democrat and deputy majority leader was chosen from a group of four finalists for the position, which oversees audits of state agencies. The vote by the Legislative Audit Commission still must be approved by a three-fifths vote of the Illinois House and Senate.

If approved, Mautino would replace William Holland, who first was appointed auditor general in 1992. Holland announced in June he will retire on Dec. 31.

Mautino has represented all or parts of Bureau, LaSalle, Livingston and Putnam counties since 1991. He served on the commission before leaving it earlier this year to seek the full-time post.

WASHINGTON – The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan recommended on Tuesday that President Barack Obama revise his plan and keep more than 1,000 U.S. troops in the country beyond 2016, just days after a deadly U.S. airstrike “mistakenly struck” a hospital during fierce fighting in the north.

Gen. John F. Campbell told Congress that conditions on the ground have changed since Obama announced his plan in 2014 to cut the current U.S. force of 9,800 to an embassy-based security contingent of about 1,000 in Kabul post-2016.

Campbell said Afghanistan remains engaged in a violent battle against the Taliban, and military operations in Pakistan have pushed fighters into eastern and northern Afghanistan.

Chicago gun control laws are not as strict as they once were

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The mass shooting at an Oregon community college last week thrust the debate over the nation’s gun laws to the center of the presidential race. At least some of the Republicans who are running have pointed to Chicago as proof that gun control does not work.

The city has a reputation for having some of the country’s strictest gun laws but has experienced an increase in homicides and shootings this year, which GOP presidential hopefuls Donald Trump, Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina said proves their point.

“You look at Chicago, it’s got the toughest gun laws in the United States. You look at other places where they have gun laws that are very tough, they do – generally speaking – worse than anybody else,” the billionaire businessman Trump said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

Christie, who is New Jersey’s governor, echoed the sentiment Sunday, telling ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that homicides are up in cities such as Chicago and New York, which he said have “some of the most aggressive gun laws.”

But Chicago’s gun laws ar-

en’t as tough as their reputation suggests. They once were, but courts have overturned or gutted many of them in recent years, forcing a city that once banned handguns and gun shops to allow both.

Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley was determined to keep handguns out of residents’ hands and he fought every legal challenge to the city’s gun restrictions during his 22 years in office. But the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a big blow to Chicago’s gun laws in 2010 when it struck down the city’s handgun ban.

Chicago quickly enacted a gun ordinance that proponents said included some of the nation’s toughest regulations, but the city was forced to scrap some of the provisions that most angered gun rights advocates.

Then, after a federal appeals court struck down Illinois’ last-in-the-nation concealed carry ban in 2012, gun rights advocates took aim at Chicago’s decades-old ban on gun stores. The city lost that fight, too, and last year passed an ordinance allowing gun stores.

No gun store has opened in the city yet. That means that every gun owned legally or illegally came from somewhere else. Just how many is unclear, but Chicago’s police

department seizes more illegal weapons than any other in the nation – nearly 20 a day for a total of 5,500 so far this year.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel released a report that blames gun sales elsewhere for much of Chicago’s street violence.

It said nearly 60 percent of recovered guns used to commit crimes in Chicago from 2009 through 2013 were first sold in states with more lax gun laws. Neighboring Indiana was the biggest source, with 19 percent of all recovered guns having been sold there first. But they came from far and wide, with Mississippi second at 6.7 percent.

Just days ago, a Chicago man was sentenced to nearly three years in prison after pleading guilty to helping purchase 43 firearms from gun shows and individuals in Indiana to sell on Chicago’s South Side.

Several Chicago residents filed a lawsuit this summer against three suburbs, accusing them of lax oversight of local gun shops that they say have been an easy source of weapons for criminals who bring guns into the city.

Also, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy often complains people arrested for possession of illegal guns don’t stay locked up for long.

Illinois democracy circling the drain SPRINGFIELD – Democracy may not be dead in Illinois, but it sure is circling the drain.

It’s the dirty little secret of the Illinois General Assembly: Most members aren’t so much elected as anointed.

Only about 40 percent of candidates actually face an opponent when they run for office.

Illinois sort of functions like the old Soviet Union – candidates appear on the ballot unopposed – and the “voters” are expected to endorse them during the “election.”

Doesn’t sound like much of an election, does it?

So how did we get in this predicament?

The majority party in the General Assembly has gerrymandered legislative districts in a manner designed to ensure its continued control.

That’s part of the reason why the Democratic Party has a supermajority status in both the state House and Senate.

Politicians distort and stretch their districts into strange shapes for two reasons: to get more seats for their political party and to get re-elected without having to run a substantial campaign.

Potential candidates don’t run because they look at how a district has been drawn and know they can’t possibly win.

Because political parties recruit candidates and help fund their campaigns, party bosses – such as House Speaker Mike Madigan – have a big say in who is fielded.

Using sophisticated computer programs, Madigan and his cohorts have drawn the House districts to protect incumbent Democrats.

Madigan is the master of this dark craft – but to be fair, Illinois Republicans have a history of engaging in this behavior as well.

Instead of voters picking

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder legislators, we have legislators picking voters.

So just how bad is it in Illinois?

According to Ballotpedia. com, in 2014, only 39 percent of all Illinois legislative candidates faced an opponent in the general election.

That means more than 60 percent of the time, voters don’t have a choice on who to vote for.

How does Illinois stack up?

Well, Michigan rated 100 percent in contested races, with every 2014 legislative district fielding at least two major-party candidates. And California and Minnesota had competitive races in more than 90 percent of their legislative districts.

Illinois, on the other hand, ranked in the bottom fifth for competitiveness.

Petitions are being passed to place a measure on the ballot that would amend the state constitution and have an independent commission draw legislative boundaries.

Also, Gov. Bruce Rauner is pushing for the General Assembly to vote for a similar measure.

In fact, he said redistricting reform is so critical he won’t consider a budget compromise until lawmakers vote on such a measure.

But legislators don’t like competition. They want to keep things the way they are — with Soviet-style elections.

After all, they value their job security.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pope visit a wake-up call

To the Editor: What an absolute joy – and, hopefully, a formidable wakeup call – from Pope Francis to all Americans during his recent U.S. visit.

We are truly an enormously great nation that has been blessed in many, many ways.

Pope Francis’ simple-but-direct message is for all Americans to look into their hearts on a daily basis and give of their talents, time and treasurers to those less fortunate.

Also, this pious leader requested that we must never, never forget we are a

wonderfully diverse nation of immigrants and we never should fail to treat this new generation of immigrants with great care and dignity.

I strongly feel that if we Americans make a diligent effort to fulfill Pope Francis’ humble requests, we will again be the home of the free in all regards.

David Marco Joliet

Heed pope’s message

To the Editor: The pope visited the U.S. for three days and on his arrival he was greeted by President

of the United States Barack Obama.

The pope spoke to both Congress and the United Nations, and his message as very clear: The white man must treat the black man better. His message was so strong that House Speaker John Boehner decided to resign.

On the last day of his visit, there was a total lunar eclipse.

Was it a coincidence? I don’t think so.

If you are a white man, it would be wise to heed that message.

BOYS GOLF: CLASS 2A LEMONT REGIONAL

Joliet Catholic’s Pluth, Lemont capture Class 2A regional titles

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Jake Pluth is understandably pleased with where his game is at after shooting an even-par 72 Tuesday to capture medalist honors in the Class 2A Lemont Regional at Broken Arrow Golf Club.

And the good news for the Joliet Catholic sophomore is he will be playing on the same course Monday in the Nazareth Academy Sectional in his quest to advance to the state finals at Illinois State University’s Weibring Golf Club.

Pluth posted scores of 36 on each nine and birdied his nextto-last hole to move into the lead as he claimed a one-stroke win over Marian Catholic’s Casey Domke for top honors.

“I hit the ball really well today,” Pluth said. “I hit every fairway and every green, it was just a matter of making putts today, and my putting wasn’t so good. But I was hitting the ball so well that it didn’t really matter. I was down by one going into the second-to-last hole, so I was like, ‘I’ve got to attack,’ and I birdied the eighth and then had a one-stroke lead and parred.

“I’m very confident about my swing, and everything is just right where I need it to be in order to make it far. I believe that I can do really well downstate, but I’ve got to get there first.”

Lemont also won its own regional a year ago against a slightly different field. The main change was the addition of Marian Catholic, which gave the Indians a run for their money, but the hosts prevailed, 312-314, to claim the championship.

BOYS GOLF: CLASS 3A NAPERVILLE CENTRAL REGIONAL

Runner-up Lockport shoots 309, earns sectional

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Lockport boys golf coach Matt Eber says the Porters have had a good ball-striking team all season.

At the most opportune time, their scores reflected that asset.

Lockport shot a season-best 309 Tuesday at The Links at Carillon to finish second behind Neuqua Valley’s 296 in the Class 3A Naperville Central Regional. That punched the Porters’ ticket to Monday’s St. Charles East Sectional at St. Andrews No. 1.

Also advancing is thirdplace Naperville North on the fifth-score tiebreaker as the Huskies and rival Naperville Central both closed at 315.

Plainfield North made a serious bid for a sectional berth, finishing fifth at 319. The Tigers, much like Lockport, shot their best team golf of the season.

Plainfield South finished sixth in the 10-team field, totaling 336. Plainfield Central was seventh at 345, followed

by Plainfield East 363, Bolingbrook 388 and Romeoville 442.

In addition to three advancing teams, the top 10 individuals not on advancing teams also earned spots in the sectional.

That group included Plainfield South’s Parker Govern (77); Plainfield North’s Nate Kirberg (78), Patrick Butler (80), Tyler Leeds (80) and Drew Moskaluk (81); Bolingbrook’s Jacob Nagel (80); and Plainfield Central’s Matt Hardin (81).

Plainfield South coach Tim Boe noted this was “the first time [Govern] broke 80, in a practice round or competition.”

Reid Rimsnider led Lockport’s sectional march with a 3-over-par 75, good for the fifthplace medal. Neuqua Valley sophomore Jack Vercautren grabbed medalist honors with

a 1-under 71 after shooting 31 on the back nine.

Rounding out the counting scores for Lockport were Trevor Gorz 76, Massimo Onesto 78 and John Parker 80. Alex Middleton and Andrew Crowe both shot 83. Parker and Middleton are juniors, and the rest seniors.

“This was the first time this year where we had three scores in the 70s,” Eber said. “It would have been great to have four. Our four and five guys are breaking through.

“I’m really proud of the effort. Our guys worked very hard this week. They kept grinding, and it paid off at the end.”

With conditions ideal, Eber said he was hoping the Porters could shoot 315 and take their chances. They bettered that by six shots.

“In the Will County tournament two weeks ago, we finished third behind Neuqua and Providence, and I thought

we were starting to roll there,” Eber said. “It’s been a couple years since we took a team to state, and we would like to do that with this group.”

Rimsnider said Tuesday’s 75 was “my best round by far.

I think I had one previously under 80, and I average about 82 or 83. But I hit a lot more greens today.”

Parker is Lockport’s No. 1 but finished behind three of his teammates.

“We just decided to help John out,” Rimsnider said with a smile.

“John was our only returning regular this year,” Eber said. “He didn’t have his best day, but he’s been our most consistent player all year. We had three guys in last year’s starting lineup who are playing in college.

“Even with a new lineup this year, though, we thought we could get consistent scores and shoot well as a team. We

were striking the ball well, but until today just hadn’t been scoring.”

Plainfield North’s tale is similar – as Kirberg’s 78, Butler’s 80, Leeds’ 80 and Moskaluk’s 81 counted, and all four will compete in the sectional.

Butler was the only returning regular for the Tigers, whose top six includes a freshman (Moskaluk), two sophomores (Kirberg and Gavin Doyle) and a junior (Cade Clinton).

“I was thinking with the good conditions, maybe we could shoot 315,” North coach Mike Kneip said. “But this is our best score all year, so I’m pretty happy. Our goal was to shoot as low as we could. All we can do is control what we do.

We can’t control what others do.

“It was nice that we finished 18 holes together and had four guys playing well on the same day, even though our scores weren’t super low.”

JCA qualifies for sectional play for eighth consecutive year • LEMONT

Continued from page 21 Indians was sophomore Raymond Sullivan, who owned the lead through 16 but finished with bogeys on the last two holes to finish tied for third with a 74.

Matt Grasman fired a 77, Jack Lund added a 79, and Mike Durkin had an 82 to round out the scoring. Matt Retzke (84) and Jack Kramer (89) also competed for Lemont.

“A win’s a win, and it was nice to get that since they’re a good team,” Indians coach Mark Hollatz said. “I thought overall that we played well, and we have been playing well in the last three or four weeks.

We’ve been putting a lot better numbers up, like a 305 on the same golf course last week at conference.

“All I care about is being in the top three on Monday, just to advance. We’re so young, with three sophomores in the starting lineup. Our guys know this course, so nothing is going to be new to us. Even

we’ve been catching fire lately. Our five and six guys have been playing solid golf and contributing to the team. This is our home course, and we play here all of the time, so we should have a lot of confidence playing it.”

JCA finished with a 323, which placed it well ahead of Lincoln-Way West (360) for the third and final qualifying spot.

It’s the eighth straight year coach Mark Hansen’s program has moved on to the sectional.

Beside Pluth, the Hilltoppers’ other scorers were Kyle Behymer (81), Brendon Wills (83) and Anthony Costa (87).

Tim Byczek (90) and Wally Osterberger (98) also participated.

Although coach Donna Thompson’s Warriors missed out on advancing as a team, they still will have all six on Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com hand at the sectional, since the Lincoln-Way West’s Colin Phelps hits from the rough during Tuesday’s Lemont Class 2A Regional at Broken whole team qualified individually.

CRETE – Providence Catholic’s boys golfers captured both team and medalist honors in Tuesday’s Class 3A Homewood-Flossmoor Regional at Balmoral Woods Country Club.

Jack Walsh shot a 73 to lead the Celtics, who also received scoring rounds from Michael Cascino (74), Ricky Costello (75) and Gino Sanfilippo (79).

Tyler Roat (80) and Ryan Miller (83) also competed for Providence (301), which advances to Monday’s Alton Sectional.

“We came in as the favorite, which adds pressure, but our top three played very well,” Celtics coach John Platt said.

“The biggest surprise was the way that Jack played, shooting a 73. We’d like our fourth, fifth or sixth guy to shoot in the 70s, and that came true today.”

Medalist honors were determined in a playoff, which took two holes. Walsh got pars on both of them, while

and Jared Lines (95) rounded out Morris’ scores. Coal City (360) was fourth but qualified Matt Misewicz (87), Logan Shoen (90), Clayton Cash (92), Christian Lombardi (92) and Keegan Clampett (93). Advancing for Peotone were Jake Nietfeldt (87) and Paul Douglas (91).

Upstart Cubs face steady Pirates

By WILL GRAVES

MLB POSTSEASON

The Associated Press

WILD CARD

PITTSBURGH – The hot, young talent. The emerging ace with the electric stuff. The relentlessly upbeat manager.

The giddy relief that comes with washing away years of futility.

Yeah, Andrew McCutchen has seen this script before.

Two years ago, it was star center fielder and the rest of the Pittsburgh Pirates who found themselves as baseball’s new darlings when they crashed the playoffs for the first time in two decades.

Now it’s the Cubs, whose rebuilding project hit warp speed somewhere between Joe Maddon’s hire last winter and rookie slugger Kris Bryant’s arrival in April.

“They’ve opened a lot of eyes,” McCutchen said. “We were the hype in 2013. Look at what we did. Everybody was on us ... . Now it’s, ‘Let’s talk about the Cubs.’ ” The Pirates can change the subject quickly Wednesday night in the NL wild card game. The winner gets the St. Louis Cardinals in the Division Series starting Friday.

The clubs that combined for 195 wins both believe they can make a run provided they can survive baseball’s version of a high-wire coin flip.

It’s heady territory for two franchises that have spent most of this millennium taking turns at the bottom of the NL Central.

Those days have long since passed in Pittsburgh, making its third straight playoff appearance. The Cubs hope to say the same thing in Chicago regardless of a history filled with curses – from billy goats to black cats to Steve Bartman – and a World Series drought at 107 years and counting.

The weight of failure, however, hardly appears to be wearing on a team so loose that Cy Young candidate Jake Arrieta took to Twitter to tweak the Pirates’ fan base after a parody account warned him of what was coming at what is sure to be a rowdy PNC Park.

Arrieta tweeted back “whatever helps keep your hope alive, just know it

He wasn’t guaranteeing victory so much as trying to savor a moment he believed would come even if others did not.

The tall right-hander who never seemed to fit in early in his career in Baltimore has supplanted Jon Lester as the Cubs’ No. 1 starter.

When he’s on, Arrieta is borderline unhittable. The Pirates managed a lone single off him in a 4-0 Cubs win on Sept.

27, and Arrieta has allowed four earned runs combined since Aug. 1.

That success has sent his confidence soaring. There isn’t any one thing that’s changed from those difficult years with the Orioles. He simply matured, tweaking his delivery and his mental approach. It’s all about the now. Not the last pitch. Not the next one. This one.

In that sense, Arrieta will face a kindred spirit in Pittsburgh starter Gerrit Cole.

Unlike Arrieta, a late bloomer, Cole has been groomed for this stage from the day the Pirates took him with the first overall pick in the 2011 draft.

He hasn’t missed a beat any step of the way and made the All-Star team for the first time this summer while becoming the first Pittsburgh pitcher to reach 19 victories since 1991.

“He respects everything about the game, but he fears

“They’ve opened a lot of eyes. ... Now it’s, ‘Let’s talk about the Cubs.’ ” Andrew McCutchen Pirates center fielder absolutely nothing,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.

“That’s a wonderful place to be.”

It is a destination that took some work for Cole to arrive at. The fire that so visibly fuels him – few pitchers in baseball take their jobs so personally – would sometimes singe Cole during his first two years in the league. Not anymore.

Catchers Francisco Cervelli and Chris Stewart have learned to quickly decipher when Cole is in need of a reset. At that moment, they leap out of their crouch to give the 25-year-old a pep talk.

Such visits are increasingly rare, a testament to Cole’s consistency and the way he’s attacked perhaps his biggest weakness.

“When something would go wrong, he would sometimes channel that into a negative,” Stewart said. “He’s taken that energy and that edge and tried to turn it into a positive.”

Any missteps will be magnified against Arrieta, whose historic second half propelled the Cubs to 97 victories, a number Maddon admitted is “pretty extravagant.”

All it did was earn the Cubs a chance at one more.

At some point late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, the team with one of the three best records in the majors will see its season end. Maybe it will be the group whose future is brightening by the day. Maybe it’ll be the group that has shed the upstart label for something more permanent.

Whether it’s fair or not remains a tossup. Maddon would prefer a best-of-three for this round. Hurdle is OK with the current format, perhaps because he’s gotten so used to it – the Pirates lost this game last year, at home, to the eventual champion San Francisco Giants.

Both the Pirates and Cubs spent most of the summer stalking but never quite catching the Cardinals. A win provides a second chance.

“There’s a lot of luck involved,” Cole said. “But there’s a lot of little details that matter. And the team that takes care of those the best comes out on top usually.”

BLACKHAWKS

don Saad and forward Kris Versteeg. Defenseman Johnny Oduya and centers Brad Richards and Antoine Vermette left in free agency.

The offseason turnover was reminiscent of the aftermath of the Hawks’ 2010 championship, and the team lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of the next two years. But there are plenty of reasons for optimism this time around.

Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Hossa lead a very potent group of forwards, and Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Niklas Hjalmarsson are back to anchor the defense in front of Corey Crawford. Artem Anisimov came over from Columbus in the Saad deal, giving the Hawks a big center to play on the second line behind Toews.

“I think that the room here, I think we’ve got lots of leaders,” Hossa said. “I think they’re not satisfied. We turn the page and we try to focus on a new season.”

The Hawks also have longtime coach Joel Quenneville back for his eighth season with the team. His ability to

PLAYER TO WATCH: Artemi Panarin. The Hawks won a crowded competition for the Russian winger when they signed find the right combinations with all the new players and keep the core group healthy also could be key.

Here are a few more things to watch with the Hawks: KANE’S SEASON: Kane is the subject of a sexual assault investigation in western New York. The All-Star winger has not been charged and has said

him to a two-year contract in May. He was slowed by an upper-body during the preseason, but his teammates have raved about his moves and instincts. He likely will begin the year on the second line, and his transition to the NHL could have a big impact.

OUTLOOK: As long as Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook are around, the Hawks are a legitimate threat to win it all. But the Central is loaded again, and it could look ugly at times as Quenneville tries to find the right lines and defensive pairings for a much different group from the one that won the championship in June. he expects to be exonerated.

Kane, who is heading into the first season of an $84 million, eight-year contract extension, has been with the team since the start of training camp last month, leading to some criticism of the Hawks and the league.

TEUVO TIME: Long one of the Hawks’ top prospects, it looked

as if forward Teuvo Teravainen came into his own during the playoffs. He had two goals and two assists in the Stanley Cup Final against Tampa Bay. Teravainen has great vision and a good shot. His continued development could help make up for the lost production with the departure of Sharp and Saad.

GETTING DEFENSIVE: Oduya was one of four defensemen who carried the load for the Hawks in the last postseason.

He also had five assists in 23 playoffs games. With Oduya gone, the Hawks’ defensive pairings could be a work in progress at the start of the year.

The Hawks got Trevor Daley in the trade that sent Sharp to Dallas, and Trevor van Riemsdyk also returns after a promising debut last season.

ONE-TWO PUNCH: Crawford and Scott Darling could be one of the NHL’s best goaltender tandems. Crawford had 32 wins last season with a 2.27 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage. Darling, a Lemont native, came up with a couple of huge performances in the Hawks’ run to the Cup.

CHICAGO – When it was all over – all the days with the Stanley Cup, the trades, the free-agent departures – the core of the Blackhawks just shrugged and went back to work.

There is precious little time for sentiment when you are trying to become the first repeat NHL champion in almost two decades.

“I feel pretty confident,” forward Marian Hossa said.

“I think we have lots of great players in this dressing room, lots of new faces, but I think there’s lots of energy in this room. Lots of guys are hungry, and I think that’s important.”

The Hawks won their third title in six seasons when they defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games in June.

While the party lasted for much of the summer, the final bill was significant.

The core group of seven players who have their name on the Cup for each of the three titles took a hit when Patrick Sharp was traded to Dallas.

Walking a tricky line with the salary cap, the Hawks also traded away rising star Bran-

Meal in a bowl

This fall, get French onion soup off the stove, onto a grill

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press When a friend asked me if I could create a hearty fall soup that begins on the grill, at first I was stumped.

I love making grilled gazpacho; it’s a regular in my summer rotation. But a cold tomato soup hardly is fit for fall. So I started thinking about my favorite soups, wondering which one would benefit from some time on the grill. All of the sudden, it came to me – French onion soup. French onion soup is my favorite meal in a bowl. It is the first thing I eat when I find myself in Paris, and I order it whenever I see it on a restaurant menu.

But up until now, I never have been happy with the versions I made at home.

With this new grilled recipe, all that has changed. I no longer need to cross the pond to have a great soup.

The soup is all about the broth, but I rarely have

homemade beef stock on hand, so I needed to create a version that would compensate for using a boxed broth. I started by making

Grilled French Onion Soup Start to finish: 3 hours active (30 minutes active) Servings: 8

3 large heads of garlic Olive oil Kosher salt 4-pound bag sweet onions (7 to 8 large), not peeled 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 quart beef stock 2 cups red wine 1½ tablespoons packed brown sugar Generous pinch of white pepper, plus more to taste 8 thick slices of French bread, left out to get stale or dried in the oven 1 pound grated Gruyere or comte cheese Prepare a grill for medium heat, indirect cooking. For a charcoal grill, this means

one of my signature side dishes, “forgotten onions.”

Forgotten onions are onions grilled (and forgotten) over indirect heat in their

banking the hot coals to one side of the grill and cooking on the other side. For a gas grill, this means turning off one or more burners to create a cooler side, then cooking on that side.

Remove the first layer of papery skin from each head of garlic. Slice off the top ½ inch from the top of each head. Set each head on a large square of foil, then drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt. Loosely wrap the foil up around the garlic, crimping it to seal. Set on the cooler side of the grill. Add the onions to the same side of the grill. Cover the grill.

Cook the garlic for 40 to 60 minutes, or until the cloves are golden brown and soft.

Grill the onions for 60 to 90 minutes, or until the skins are dark and the sugars have caramelized and blackened.

When the garlic is cooked, remove from the grill and cool. Open the packets and squeeze the cloves from the skins and into a small bowl. When the onions are cooked,

Meanwhile, in a heavy 6-quart stock pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Trim the ends off the onions, then peel and remove the outer skins. Chop each into large pieces, then add to the butter. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the reserved roasted garlic and about 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine, then cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until well mixed. The onions will separate into small pieces and look almost melted.

Add the beef stock, red wine, brown sugar and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Let cool, then refrigerate. The next day, bring soup to a boil for 5 minutes before serving, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Just before serving, ladle into mugs or

intensifies all the sweetness in the onions and eliminates the sharpness, making them something you will want to eat like a baked potato. To this, I decided to add roasted garlic to increase the depth of flavor of the broth.

Once the onions and the garlic are grilled, the soup comes together quickly. The peeled onions are sauteed in a little butter and “melt” into small pieces. The sweet roasted garlic mixes with the caramelized onions to create a rich base for the soup. Add the beef broth and full-bodied red wine and that’s almost all there is to it. But be forewarned, as simple as this soup is, the smell of it simmering on the stove will bring everyone running to the kitchen.

It smells that good.

The key to this soup is to make it a day ahead to give the flavors time to truly meld. This soup also can be frozen and reheated, adding the bread and the cheese

bowls about three-quarters of the way full.

Place a piece of the stale bread on top of each serving, then top that with a generous handful of the cheese.

Place the soup bowls on a baking sheet and place on the ovens bottom shelf and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until brown and bubbly.

Enjoy immediately.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The captain asks partner for input

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Rebel Wilson, an Australian standup comedian, actress, author and entrepreneur, said, “I was sporty in high school. I played tennis and hockey, and was basketball captain. Then I went to university and stopped doing sport and started eating ice cream.” Not such a bad switch!

This week, we are looking at auction captaincy. This happens when one player has described his hand accurately. He leaves the choice of final contract to partner. However, sometimes partner will be uncertain, so knocks the ball back over the net, keeping the point – the auction – going.

In this deal, what should South rebid with his hand?

He knows that game is certain, but slam might be possible if the fit is good. Which cards would he particularly like North to have?

Right – good trumps, the diamond ace and the club king.

South sounds out his partner by rebidding three clubs. Opener will think that this is a help-suit game-try.

If he does not have club help, he will sign off in three spades, which South would raise to game. Here, though, North jumps to four spades, confirming four-card spade support and a good club holding. Then South leaps to six spades, the contract he believes he can make.

How should declarer plan the play after West leads the heart jack?

South should win the first trick, cash the two top trumps (unlucky!), and start on the clubs, discarding dummy’s heart loser on the third round.

Later, declarer trumps the heart two and a low club in the dummy, and loses only one trump trick.

of these hormones may keep the body in a state of alert. (I’ve put an illustration of this on my website, www.askdoctork.com.)

Traumas also may change the structure of the brain. The hippocampus is a part of the brain that plays a central role in processing long-term memories. It works closely with the amygdala, the brain’s “fear” center. The hippocampus is smaller in some people with post-traumatic stress disorder. It also is smaller in some people who have endured extreme, prolonged stress.

Of course, not everyone who has survived a traumatic event develops an anxiety disorder.

That’s where a person’s genes and brain chemistry come in. It’s possible some people are genetically or biologically more susceptible to anxiety, but it may take a traumatic life event to actually “push” them into being anxious.

In fact, an inherited tendency to be anxious may turn some childhood experiences into traumatic ones. For example, it may cause a 3-year-old to fear she has been abandoned every morning when her parents leave for work. Most 3-year-olds without that inherited tendency would not feel abandoned.

On the other hand, trauma is not always a trigger. Some people who develop an anxiety disorder have not endured particularly stressful events. As with most illnesses, anxiety is affected both by genes and by life experiences.

T E L L M A M A

Dear Dr. K: I endured some physical and emotional abuse as a child.

Could this explain why I struggle with anxiety as an adult?

Dear Reader: Sigmund Freud and many other psychiatrists thought so. Indeed, exploring the experiences of childhood is an important part of psychoanalysis.

This view did not think childhood experiences could actually make physical changes in brain chemistry, however.

Instead, it imagined an unchanged brain that simply was given unusually difficult experiences to cope with.

Today, we have a somewhat different view.

We now know childhood is a time when the brain is exceptionally fragile and vulnerable to outside influences. Exposure to extreme stress, such as abuse, neglect, violence in the home or the loss of a loved one, can affect a child’s developing brain.

It can impair his or her ability to negotiate emotional bumps in the road later on. Scientists call this toxic stress.

Studies show toddlers who live in unstable families have a strong stress response when confronted with a new and unexpected situation. On the other hand, children from healthy families are better able to weather unknown situations.

Psychological and physical trauma in childhood seems to alter the brain in a way that makes it more susceptible to anxiety. For one thing, it makes what is known as the HPA axis overly sensitive. The HPA axis is a pathway of hormones that influence mood. Imbalances of certain hormones in this pathway increase the risk for anxiety and may induce anxiety symptoms.

Early trauma also may cause a lasting increase in certain stress hormones, and pumped-up levels

Dear Abby: I am happily married to a great man.

I have a young daughter from a previous marriage, and my husband has two teenagers, a boy and girl, from a prior marriage.

Like many blended families, we have our struggles, but one is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.

I don’t know how to put this tastefully, but I’ll state it this way: My stepchildren are “too close,” if you know what I mean. They flirt, constantly touch each other and playfully tease each other. (A few people even have mistaken them for a couple.)

My husband doesn’t seem to notice this unhealthy behavior.

If so, did you bring it to his attention at that time?

Family relationships can vary, and because I haven’t witnessed what you have observed, I can’t advise you other than to suggest family counseling might be in order to determine whether the kids have a normal sibling relationship or if it has gone over the line.

Dear Abby: Last spring, we helped our daughter’s longtime friend move out of the college dorm room she shared with our daughter.

Her parents are divorced and weren’t available to help her move or give us money to help her, and she had just broken up with her boyfriend.

We rented a van and offered to let her stay at our home as long as she helped pay for groceries and got a job. She got the job, but

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips never helped pay for food or did anything around the house, including keeping her room clean.

After two weeks, she and her boyfriend got back together, and she was spending every night with him at his parents’ house.

She would return to our home to eat, wash clothes, shower and use the Internet.

I finally had to tell her this was not acceptable, and she needed to decide to either live here or move in with her boyfriend. She moved out.

Now, it is uncomfortable when she comes around.

I don’t feel I did anything wrong, but my daughter thinks I shouldn’t have made a big deal out of her sleeping at her boyfriend’s house and using our house as a place to park her stuff, eat and wash her clothes.

What do you think? – No

Time For Freeloaders Dear No Time: You were

generous to be as supportive as you were of your daughter’s former roommate.

This has nothing to do with her sleeping at her boyfriend’s. You asked only that she behave like an adult and contribute by paying for her food and keeping her room clean.

She didn’t keep her part of the bargain. You shouldn’t feel uncomfortable; she should, for not behaving responsibly.
