NEW LENOX – Two Lincoln-Way High School District 210 board members were appointed to an audit advisory committee that will include community members.

At Thursday’s meeting, board member Christopher McFadden recommended a new board policy that would create an audit advisory committee composed of two board members, six community members from boundaries of middle school feeder districts and one member from the district at large, according to an Oct. 2 memo he wrote.

Board President Kevin Molloy said he wanted to see this idea move forward and appointed members Christopher Kosel and Dee Molinare to the committee, which is separate from the board audit committee.

He said the two board members will reach out to people to join the committee or people can reach out to them.

“The community asked for this and we are moving forward,” Molloy said after the meeting.

He said he expects the committee to be fully created within 60 days.

When McFadden proposed the idea, he said it would be a “way to bring people into the process.”

He recommended appointing community members with financial or accounting experience to the committee but Board Member Ronald Lullo said the criteria for membership should be more open.

Business report

Interim business manager Steven Langert reported to board members on what he has been studying thus far. He was hired by the district Sept. 10 to review business operations. He said most of his focus to date has been on finances, including planning and projections.

He’s also studied tax distribution, general state aid, revenues, expenses, medical insurance costs and enrollment

Public comment projections.

“I will have the time to look at everything and certainly give you my input and recommendations,” Langert said.

He said given the situation Lincoln-Way was in he added a forensic approach to studying past financial information.

State audit bill

Superintendent Scott Tingley said he met with state Rep. Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, on Wednesday regarding her bill for the Illinois Auditor General to perform an audit for Lincoln-Way. He said administrators in the near future will bring back a proposal for an independent audit. But if McDermed’s

Will County public hearings set for Waste Management’s landfill expansion application

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The public is invited to comment during a series of hearings later this month regarding Waste Management of Illinois’ sought expansion of its Laraway Road site in Joliet Township.

Waste Management has submitted an application to Will County seeking approval for a 150-acre expansion of its Laraway Road site – about two miles west of Route 53, and directly west and southwest of the intersection of Laraway and Patterson roads.

The expansion – which includes two areas to the north and south of the existing 200acre site – would provide about 10 years of additional life to the site, which is currently expected to reach capacity in 2021, according to the filed application.

Hearing dates are slated to be Wednesday, Oct. 21 and 29 in the Will County Board Room at the Will County Office Building, 302 N. Chicago St., assis-

Chicago St., Joliet WHEN: 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, 2 to 6 p.m. Oct. 19 if previous hearing requires continuation, 2 to 8 p.m. Oct. 21, 2 to 6 p.m. Oct. 29 tant state’s attorney Mary Tatroe, head of the civil division of the State’s Attorney’s Office, told board members Thursday.

If Wednesday’s hearing is not completed, it will be continued Oct. 19.

Waste Management will present its plan Wednesday for expansion and anyone speaking in opposition will have opportunity to present testimony.

The public would then have the opportunity to file written comment, she said.

Tatroe reminded board members that they are acting

“I would like for the board to be able to do it one time; have it very complete, very thorough and pay for it once,” Tingley said.

as a “quasi-judicial body” in this case, and should remain impartial during the proceedings. A three-person subcommittee with board members Suzanne Hart, R-Naperville, Tom Weigel, R-New Lenox, and Don Moran, D-Romeoville, will make a recommendation to the board after the hearings. But the County Board will have final say, Tatroe said.

The expansion site is compatible with the surrounding landscape, according to the company’s application. Documents note how, within a onemile radius, there’s mostly open space, industry and manufacturing, and agriculture.

Waste Management intends to begin operations with the expansion in 2018, and receive about 3 million tons per year of contaminated soils, industrial waste and other debris from Will County and nearly a dozen surrounding counties.

The application is available to view online at the Will County Clerk’s website, www. thewillcountyclerk.com.

Many residents were still calling for board members to rescind their decision to close North high school or the other buildings until they’ve researched district finances more thoroughly.

Resident Robert Ripp recommended waiting until the forensic audit was finished.

He also recommended starting a community deficit reduction committee.

Another resident Glenn Arnold recommended the board review information online on closing a school and consider the school closure bill from state Sen. Michael Hastings, D-Tinley Park.

“Surely, the board is aware this process is spinning out of control,” Arnold said.

CHANNAHON – If you’re looking to find anybody in Channahon, the local wisdom is just go to Lone Star Restaurant and Lounge – they’re either there or will show up sooner or later.

That still seemed to be the case Thursday morning as owner Themis Sparagis estimated almost 600 people had come by to see the damage and offer condolences after a fire damaged the restaurant Wednesday night.

“Now I know how many friends I have. I have a lot of friends,” Sparagis said, searching for a silver lining in the damage to the business he and his brother, Theodoros, have operated for 38 years.

“This is my whole life here,” he said.

“Things happen ... no injuries,” Theodoros Sparagis said with a shrug, as he looked at 25208 W. Eames St. from across the parking lot.

Themis Sparagis’ son, Kosta Sparagis, was managing the restaurant when the fire began between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m.

Wednesday.

Kosta Sparagis said he noticed a bad smell coming from the east end of the building where roofers were working.

When he saw smoke, he called 911.

“There were 20 to 25 customers inside and I just said, ‘Everybody. Please. You have to leave right away. Let’s go,’ ” he said.

Firefighters spent about two hours battling the blaze.

Fire Chief John Petrakis said the fire caused a corner of the roof to collapse and left smoke, heat and water damage

throughout the building.

Kosta Sparagis said the large amount of debris on the floor made it difficult to assess the total extent of the damage. “[Kosta] called. I came

Kelly Barr was among the longtime customers who came

Thursday morning to give a hug and encouragement. She said the restaurant is “the heart of the town.”

“Everybody comes here.

This is where you go with your family. It’s where the kids get ice cream,” she said.

Barr mentioned when her father visits from out of town he always makes a stop at the restaurant, which Themis and Kosta Sparagis said is typical.

“If you live here or moved away and come back to visit, we’re your second or third home,” Kosta Sparagis said, bringing a momentary smile to his father’s face.

Mayor Missey Schumacher agreed Lone Star can accurately be referred to as a landmark.

She has used it many times as a reference to give people directions.

“They’ve been the fabric of the town for 40 years ... a Channahon institution. Lone Star’s one of the long-standing businesses that’s endured. It’s a Channahon icon,” Schumacher said. “This [fire] is devastating for the entire community.”

Interior work underway at JJC’s City Center Campus

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Despite the state’s share of the $58 million capital project in limbo, interior work has begun on Joliet Junior College’s planned City Center Campus building in downtown Joliet.

Completion was initially planned for spring, but the project is now slated for a January 2017 opening. Although behind schedule, college officials are determined to complete the project with the use of funding previously earmarked for other capital projects during Springfield’s budget standoff.

Judy Mitchell, vice president for administrative services at JJC, said college officials are “hopeful” the college will receive the promised state funding “once a budget is approved.”

“Everyone is excited. It’s been a long time waiting,” Mitchell said. “January [2017] will be here before we know it.”

Once compete, the City Center Campus will house the college’s adult education and literacy department, workforce development and the college’s renowned culinary arts program. The exterior of the six-story, 96,000-square-foot building was completed last year.

All week, construction workers with Wood Dale-based George Sollitt Construction were on-site working mainly on underground plumbing and electrical work, along with metal stud framing. By November, contractors will begin on the building’s HVAC system and duct work.

JJC officials learned earlier this year from Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration that the promised $10 million was under review, along with other community college projects statewide.

The state is expected to chip in $25.5 million overall. Whether JJC receives the remaining $15.5 million is dependent on state lawmakers’ passage of a new capital bill, Mitchell said.

Mitchell added that the City

Center Campus has been on the Illinois Community College Board’s project funding list for more than a decade, and remains the No. 1 project on the list.

By June, cabinetry and trim work will begin. Office and classroom furniture will move in by the end of 2016. The goal is to have JJC’s Renaissance Center and the City Center Campus completed at the same time.

JJC Culinary Arts Chair Mike McGreal said he and his students are looking forward to the building’s completion, when the culinary arts depart-

ment – which is now working with equipment dating back to the late 1960s – will have a new space and state-of-theart kitchen environment. A restaurant affiliated with the culinary program also is in the works.

Learning the latest kitchen technologies is as important as learning recipes, McGreal said.

With several national awards under its belt, faculty members within the JJC’s culinary arts program are eager to have a new space that reflects students’ successes.

“It’s a program that’s very recognized with state-of-the-art teaching and state-of-the-art learning and faculty that are at the top of their game. And now

we’ll finally have a program that matches up to that reputation,” McGreal said.

With plans for a bake shop and student-inspired restaurant available to the public, Mitchell said the college hopes to attract more people to the downtown area.

“This building has been much needed for years. The hope is to help with the downtown area for the city. Our students are very excited,” Mitchell said.

Bond reduced for Homer Glen attorney representing himself

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Homer Glen attorney accused of trying to hire someone to kill his former wife got a significant bail reduction Thursday.

Robert W. Gold-Smith, who is representing himself, still will have to put up $15,000 of a $150,000 bond to be released Robert W. f r o m p r i s o n . Gold-Smith But Judge Daniel Rozak agreed Gold-Smith’s case did not warrant a $350,000 bond.

In November 2010, GoldSmith’s then-wife sought an order of protection after he grabbed her by the hair and punched her in the face as they walked out of a courtroom, ac-

cording to police. The lawyer has been in jail since March 2011 for allegedly violating that order of protection and approaching inmates to have her killed.

Last month, Gold-Smith testified former jail inmate Brian K. McDaniel whispered into the wire he was wearing, impersonating Gold-Smith, and lied to the grand jury for leniency in his own case. Rozak refused to toss out Gold-Smith’s indictment for solicitation of murder, but noted “some issues” with the case against him and urged the attorney to utilize the public defender’s office.

On Thursday, Rozak told Gold-Smith and Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Chris Regis judges should go through a list of factors when setting or reconsidering a bond amount. Rozak said the potential sentence of 20 to 40 years in

prison was not in Gold-Smith’s favor, but his lack of criminal record was. The judge also considered the defendant’s character.

“He has been, for the most part, a gentleman in my courtroom,” Rozak said. “But sometimes defendants [without attorneys] say too much and some of the things you’ve told me [regarding your] mental condition does not go in your favor.”

Finally, Rozak said he considered the “likelihood of conviction” against Gold-Smith.

“I always ask [about evidence] when setting bond to see whether it’s a good case or a bad case,” Rozak said. “Long ago, I heard the factual basis from the state. Since then I’ve heard more detail than most judges would on a case ... so all things considered, the bond will be reduced.”

Spring Road bridge demolished for reconstruction

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com MAINE TOWNSHIP – The Spring Road bridge over the Mazon River was known for transportation and recreation during its 105-year-old lifespan.

“They fished off the bridge in the ’30s and ’40s,” said Elvin Wills, who runs a pig farm along with his son, Mark Wills, near the bridge.

Elvin Wills also mined for fossils underneath the bridge as a kid.

“They used to bring houses across it,” he said.

The bridge closed in 2008 because it was deemed unsafe.

Since then, the fortified bridge has been crumbling and developed a meter-sized hole.

By Thursday afternoon, the bridge was no more. But it went out with a bang.

Crews from a Grundy County Highway Department contractor, Deconstruction, conducted the demolition of the bridge Thursday after weeks of preparation.

A new $900,000 bridge will take its place, hopefully by the end of this year, said Brian Tjernlund, civil engineer for the highway department.

Spring Road bridge

The bridge was built with concrete and reinforced with rebar in 1910.

“The concrete was probably mixed on-site,” Tjernlund said, noting that workers were surprised by the amount of reinforcement.

Back when it was constructed, there weren’t many cars on the road. The most frequent

Along with being a local fishing and mining spot, Tjernlund said people used to come to the bridge because there was a sulphur spring nearby that was presumed to have medicinal properties. The spring inspired the road’s name.

“I’m almost sorry to see it go,” Tjernlund said. “But a lot of local farmers are going to be happy to have this open.”

Mark Wills said he supports a new bridge because it will be easier driving across the

Bartelsen said afterward she, Lemming and Engineering Director Amy Wagner also observed at the crosswalk at State and Eighth streets that one of the signs cautioning

drivers about the crosswalk was partially obstructed by a tree branch. Lemming then contacted the Illinois Department of Transportation, which

has the right of way over State Street and owns the signs.

Lemming said IDOT has agreed to work toward getting beacons placed on the signs.

Choose Your Ideal Haircut For Your Face Shape SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Before updating your hairstyle, do some research to make sure you pick a cut that will look great on you. A good stylist will tell you that the shape of your face is a good indicator of which haircut will be most flattering on you.

If your face is round, try a pixie style with spiky layers on top. Choppy pieces add height, lengthen your face, and bring out your eyes. This style is best for straight hair.

For longer lengths, a bob that skims the collarbone will add a slimming effect to the face. You can style with loose curls, adding angles and breaking up the chin area.

Long hair should be layered lightly along the bottom.

A heart-shaped face is wider at the top and more pointed at the chin. Short cuts can be tousled for a dynamic look, balancing out a pronounced jawline. Longer hair benefits from shoulder- level layers, drawing the eyes away from

the chin. Sweeping bangs and uniform layers work best.

Longer hair can be layered and curled, and full bangs add a modern look. The bangs offset the jaw, and gently tapered layers add movement and volume.

A long or oval face is flattered by an angular bob that includes short, chin-hugging layers. A side part adds lift to choppy layers and adds width to a more narrow face. Longer hair looks great with a shoulder-skimming sleek blowout.

Subtle variations in length add volume and give the illusion of longer hair.

A square face benefits from a short, layered bob with subtle bangs, emphasizing the cheekbones rather than the jaw. Light, shoulder-length layers with sweeping bangs and a side part will soften a square face and camouflage a strong chin. Long hair is flattering; scattered layers get rid of angles and soften the entire face.

LOCKPORT – In response to a witness of a fatal hit-and-run of a motorcyclist last month, the city of Lockport is taking steps to improve the safety of that intersection.

The 13-year-old witness made a statement at the City Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting Wednesday night about the need for flashing beacons on the cautionary signs already present at the crosswalk of State and Eighth streets.

Robert F. Haag, 35, was riding north at 6:53 p.m. Sept. 14 on State Street approaching Eighth Street when a light-colored four-door sedan turned in front of him. Haag, who was not wearing a helmet, was injured after he collided with the car while trying to avoid it. He later died of his injuries.

The driver slowed but then sped away, the witness said.

Chief of Police Terry Lemming said Wednesday night the investigation is ongoing, but the police have received few leads or fruitful information.

The witness wished to remain anonymous since a suspect has not been arrested yet, her mother said.

The Lockport teen was with a friend at the intersection on her way to the I&M Canal to ride bicycles and take pictures when the incident happened, she said. She said she was later distressed to learn the victim had died.

“That was a real eye-opener to [my friend] and I and now whenever I’m about to cross the street I remember to stay behind a sidewalk line or even two because anything could happen at any moment,” she told the council.

Although a pedestrian was not injured in the incident, the tragic event has caused the witness and her parents to

evaluate the safety of that intersection as well as others in the city for pedestrians, especially children, said the mother.

Before the meeting, she approached Alderwoman Joanne Bartelsen about putting flashing beacons at the city’s major crosswalks after doing some

B2B Expo & Job Fair will be Wednesday in Joliet

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce has added a job fair to its B2B Expo.

The B2B Expo & Job Fair will be from 3 to 6 p.m. Wednesday in Republic Hall, 113 Republic Ave. The registration deadline for businesses interested in exhibiting at the expo is Friday.

B2B is short for Business to Business. The expo is a variation from the chamber expo held each year at the Louis Joliet Mall. B2B has traditionally

been an expo for business people seeking information about other businesses.

B2B always has been open to the general public, said Kelly Baltas, member events director for the chamber. She said adding a job fair seemed to fit the event.

Many of the participants will promote their services while also looking for employees, she said.

“This is perfect for companies that are looking for new technologies or marketing for promotions,” Baltas said. “But it’s also good for job seekers.”

Adding the job fair also should give the exhibitors more exposure.

“We want to make this more of a public event,” Baltas said.

“We want to drive foot traffic to the expo, so we added the job fair to it.”

Thirty-five exhibitors were

Demolitions crews work Thursday to place explosives on a bridge that spans the Mazon River near Coal City. The bridge, which stood for more than 100 years, was closed in 2008.

Company received environmental clearance • BRIDGE

Continued from page 8 Larry Meyer, another neighbor who drove by on his lawn mower to check out the demolition preparations, said he would rather the bridge stay the way it was because he doesn’t want more traffic near his home.

“It’s like a private road right now,” he said.

Demolition preparation

You can’t just drop dynamite on a bridge and explode

it. Careful preparations take place, including for land under the river and around the bridge.

Destruction blaster Patrick Carney, who oversaw the project, said the crew worked on drilling holes into the sides of the bridge in strategic locations to drop the dynamite.

“There was a lot of rebar,” Carney said. “It was reinforced well.”

The demolition crew used 110 sticks of dynamite, about 52 pounds, and 69 blasting caps.

After dropping in dyna-

mite, the holes were filled with gravel, topped by sandbags and covered by mattresses made of hundreds of flattened tires to temper the debris fallout.

The goal of the demolition was to preserve the base pillars and abutments to use on the replacement bridge. And that was the only part of the bridge left after the demolition.

While the demolition work does release cement and other materials into the river, the contracted company received environmental clearance and is responsible for the cleanup, Tjernlund said.

If you suffer from back pain, be glad it’s now, and not 30 years ago when treatment methods included bed rest and hospital stays, complete with belts strung with unwieldy weights for traction. Today’s methods can be more effective, less cumbersome, speedier, and painless.

“Back pain can range form a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that makes it hard to move. It can start quickly if you fall or lift something too heavy, or it can get worse slowly,” according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Anyone can have back pain; the NIH cites risk factors, including being over age 30, unfit, overweight, and a smoker, as smoking may impede nutrients nourishing disks in the back.

“Mistreating your back through heavy lifting, bad posture, or lack of exercise can make the back more prone to injuries, such as ruptured disks and pulled muscles. Sports injuries and automobile acci-

dents can lead to back pain, too,” explains Dr. Frank Ostir, Ostir Physical Medicine in Joliet.

He believes that nonsurgical lumbar (lower back) decompression therapy can reduce much back pain. Dr. Ostir promotes the “Lordex Lumbar Spine Program, a painless system developed to restore spinal stability and relive pain.”

Two machines are engaged to “unload the spine through decompression. We can angle and position the Lordex Decompression Unit to focus on the exact lesion, disc, or vertebrae causing the pain.

The second machine immobilizes the lower body to exercise the lumbar muscles, move the joints, and re-educate the neuromuscular system,” he says.

Dr. Ostir adds that clinical results from this program indicate that the majority of patients get relief through this treatment protocol.

Fund established at M&M Bank for donations

after infant son injured The HERALD–NEWS ROMEOVILLE – A man has been charged after authorities said he injured his child and was involved in a hit-and-run, according to a Romeoville Police Department news release.

Kevin Hodge, 22, of Romeoville is charged with domestic battery and aggravated driving under the influence, the news release stated, with possible further charges pending.

At 3:49 p.m. Wednesday, a Romeoville police officer was flagged down by a person about a hit-and-run at Weber Road and Highpoint Drive. About 10 minutes later, police received a call for an ambulance for an injured child in the 200 block of Oak Creek Lane. When officers arrived, a man said he was involved in a dispute with his intoxicated son, Hodge, who had

left the residence. Hodge had told his father he was involved in the hit-and-run and fled the scene of the crash because of his intoxication, according to the news release, which also stated Hodge’s infant son was with him at the time.

During the argument, police said Hodge began punching his father while the father was holding Hodge’s child.

Hodge struck the infant in the head, causing significant brain injury, according to the news release. The child was brought to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital and later flown to Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago.

After the dispute, Hodge left the residence, and was found by police at a nearby home hiding under a vehicle, police said.

He was taken into custody and transferred to the Will County Jail.

Four charged in Bolingbrook thefts

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Three Chicago women and a 17-yearold girl were arrested Wednesday in connection with several thefts at The Promenade Bolingbrook.

Police Lt. Carter Larry said security personnel at Victoria’s Secret called officers to the mall about 5:10 p.m. about two suspected thieves inside the store. Victoria’s Secret has been hit several times in recent months by women grabbing clothing from the displays near the front door and running out without paying, according to police reports.

Larry said the suspects did not have any stolen merchandise with them when they were intercepted by police. But

when they got into a car and drove away from the mall, officers conducted a traffic stop, Larry said.

Danielle N. Maxwell, 26, of the 2400 block of West 63rd Street; Delia M. Hardrick, 31, of the 6500 block of South Winchester Avenue; Danica R. Miller, 19, of the 3700 block of Wentworth Avenue; and a 17-year-old girl were arrested and questioned at the police station.

“Upon interviewing the subjects, they all admitted to driving out to the mall with the intent to steal merchandise.

It appears the adults mostly pointed out the merchandise they wanted stolen and the 17-year-old juvenile stole the majority of it,” Larry said.

All four were charged with felony retail theft.

Cubs on the board at Silver Cross Field again Friday More inside

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers will put a second straight Cubs playoff game on the video board at Silver Cross Field on Friday.

About 500 people came to Silver Cross Field to watch the Cubs win the wild-card game Wednesday, said Porscha Johnson, manager of corporate partnerships for the Slammers.

With such a showing, the team decided to open the field again Friday when the first game in the playoff series against the St. Louis Cardinals will be shown on the stadium’s video board.

Will there be more Cubs’ playoff games on the video board as the playoffs progress?

STATE BRIEFS Dems warn state could go dispensaries in Mundelein, Canton and Quincy are fully licensed broke without budget

CHICAGO – Illinois will run out of money to operate in a matter of months if lawmakers can’t agree on a state budget, top Democrats warned Thursday, but they reiterated they won’t bow to Gov. Bruce Rauner’s demands to weaken public-worker unions for a deal.

House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie and state Sen. Kwame Raoul said the GOP governor should drop his push to let local governments opt out of collective bargaining, a move they say would lead to lower wages and a less-qualified workforce.

Currie said Rauner should instead be worrying about the state money “going out the door at a very fast clip.” Both parties estimate Illinois is on track to spend about $5 billion more than it’s taking in because of court orders and state law requiring some payments.

Ex-Chicago Public Schools chief charged with corruption

By MICHAEL TARM and SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The for mer CEO of Chicago Public Schools plans to plead guilty to corruption charges announced Thursday that allege she helped steer more than $23 million worth of no-bid contracts to education companies in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and kickbacks.

Barbara Byrd-Bennett, who resigned earlier this year as leader of the nation’s third-largest school district, “takes full responsibility for her conduct,” said her lawyer, Michael Scudder.

He said she would plead guilty at a later date to charges in the indictment, which also accuses the companies’ owners of offering Byrd-Bennett a job and one-time payment – disguised as a lucrative signing bonus – once she left CPS, which is facing a steep budget shortfall and a severely underfunded pension system.

“If you only join for the day, you will be the highest paid person on the planet for that day,” one of the executives wrote in an email to Byrd-Bennett about the bonus, according to the indictment.

The indictment alleges that Byrd-Bennett expected to receive kickbacks worth 10 percent of the value of the no-bid contracts, or about $2.3 million. It’s unclear how much money was set aside, although the indictment said two trust accounts tied to her relatives – identified only as Relatives A and B – were set up to help hide the money.

Prosecutors allege the scheme started in 2012, the same year Mayor Rahm Emanuel chose her to become CEO of the nation’s third largest school district. Emanuel released a statement Thursday saying he was “saddened and disappointed to learn about the criminal activity” that led to the indictment.

“Our students, parents, teachers and principals deserve better,” the Democrat said.

Byrd-Bennett, 66, is charged with several counts of mail and wire fraud; each count carries a maximum 20year prison sentence. U.S. attorney Zachary Fardon said the indictment accuses her of “abusing her power to line her own pockets and those of her co-defendants.”

The longtime educator stepped down from the post about four months ago, amid a federal investigation into a

contract between the district and SUPES Academy, a training academy where she once worked as a consultant.

The company’s owners, Gary Soloman and Thomas Vranas, are accused of offering her money – including plotting to place $127,000 into each of the two accounts set up under her relatives’ names – along with sporting event tickets and other kickbacks in exchange for the contracts.

In emails included in the indictment, Solomon and Vranas appear to discuss payments to Byrd-Bennett.

Vranas is quoted in one saying, “Everyone sucks and is greedy.” In an email sent to Soloman on Sept. 10, 2012, Byrd-Bennett wrote: “I have tuition to pay and casinos to visit.”

Both suburban Chicago men are charged with bribery and conspiracy to defraud, along with mail and wire fraud. The indictment also charges SUPES Academy and a subsidiary, Synesi Associates LLC, which specialize in training principals and school administrators.

Soloman’s attorney released a statement saying Soloman has cooperated in the investigation and stands behind his companies’ training and service.

McCarthy abruptly withdraws his candidacy for House speaker WASHINGTON –Confronting insurmountable obstacles, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy suddenly withdrew from the contest for speaker of the U.S. House on Thursday, shocking colleagues just before they were to vote and producing ever-deeper chaos for a divided Congress.

“NATO is able and ready to defend all allies, including Turkey, against any threat,” alliance secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said at the start of a meeting of NATO defense ministers.

The meeting attended by U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and counterparts from NATO’s other 27 countries was overshadowed by concerns about Russia’s recent military actions in Syria. On Wednesday, Russian warships fired a volley of cruise missiles in the first combined air-and-ground assault with Syrian government troops since Moscow began its military campaign in the country last week.

U.S. officials said Thursday some of those missiles missed their targets and landed in Iran.

Over the weekend, Turkey reported back-to-back violations of its airspace by Russian warplanes.

Stoltenberg said NATO had already increased “our capacity, our ability, our preparedness to

his resignation just two weeks ago by threatening a floor vote on his speakership. Some of them cheered the announcement by Boehner’s No. 2.

“The establishment has lost two speakers in two weeks. K Street must be shaking in their boots. Mitch McConnell must be shaking in his boots, too,” said Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, naming the Republican majority leader of the Senate.

One immediate impact, however, might be to prolong Boehner’s tenure. The Ohio Republican, who had intended to leave Oct. 30, said he would stay on “until the House votes to elect a new speaker.”

deploy forces, including to the south, including in Turkey, if needed.”

However, pressed about what NATO precisely intended to do to aid Turkey, which shares a border with Syria, Stoltenberg told a news conference the mere existence of a beefed-up alliance response force, as well as a new and highly nimble brigade-sized unit able to deploy within 48 hours, might suffice.

After the flood, a rush to preserve drinking water

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina’s capital city had too much water. Now, officials are racing to make sure it has enough.

A canal that serves as the main source of drinking water for about half of the Columbia water system’s 375,000 customers collapsed in two places after historic rainfall and flooding over the weekend, sending contractors scrambling to build a rock dam to plug the holes while National Guard helicopters dropped giant sandbags in the rushing water.

Water from the canal normally flows directly into the reservoir at the city’s water treatment plant. But with the water level falling because of the levee breach, workers were forced to place orange pumps on the banks of the canal to pump water

U.S. hero in French train attack stabbed in brawl

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone, celebrated as a hero for helping to stop a terror attack on a French train over the summer, was stabbed and seriously wounded outside a bar in his hometown early Thursday in what police said was an alcohol-related brawl.

Stone, 23, was knifed three times in the upper body but was expected to survive after about two hours of surgery, said Dr. J. Douglas Kirk, chief medical officer at UC Davis Medical Center.

“This incident is not related to terrorism in any way,” Deputy Police Chief Ken Bernard said.

“We know it’s not related to what occurred in France months ago.”

A grainy surveillance video from a camera outside a liquor store showed a man who appeared to be Stone fighting with several people at an intersection. The group spilled into the street as people took swings at each other, and one person got knocked down. Police said two assailants fled in a car. No immediate arrests were made.

To the Editor: Illinois Democrats, with their super majority, should be able to craft a budget that reflects the fiscal realities of the state and addresses the deficit.

The current stalemate is an advertisement for poor governance and planning that harms the state of Illinois’ reputation and induces businesses to flee the state or not relocate here. Even with defections, reaching across the aisle for common interests should work.

Remember the old days, when Gov Jim Thompson and the legislative leaders would meet in the governor’s office to hammer out a budget? The job would be done. With Mike Madigan’s leadership, power and influence, this should be done quickly. How the

Route 52 from Manhattan to Laraway Road is like a washboard. When you drive on it, you can feel the vibration in your vehicle; and at night, when cars are coming toward you with lights on, you can see the ripples in the road.

Budget impasse devastating public health services

The state of Illinois’ budget impasse is eroding the capacity of local health departments to protect the health of its citizens. Local health departments are taking appropriate – yet drastic – action in response to this crisis: They are laying off staff, reducing the work week and reducing the hours they’re open for business.

Rural health departments are particularly hard hit because their populations are older, incomes are lower, property values are less, there are fewer local tax revenues for the health department, cash reserves are smaller, and the demand for public health services is greater. Sixteen of Illinois’ 97 local health departments, serving nearly a million people, already have reduced staff, hours and services. More health departments will be forced to take similar action if no state funding is received for the services that have been delivered but not paid for

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

since July 1.

It is only a matter of time until there is a disease outbreak that leaves many people sick and may even cost some their lives – an outbreak of a disease that could have been prevented by public health.

In Illinois, front-line public health services are provided by local health departments.

They are units of local government. They are supported by local tax revenues, fees and grants from the state and federal governments. There are 97 of them; they serve 100 of Illinois’ 102 counties and more than 99 percent of the state’s population.

Essential public health services provided by local health departments – such as restaurant inspection, regulation of private sewage systems, investigation of disease outbreaks and immunization against communicable diseases – are in jeopardy because of the budget impasse.

In addition, because of the loss of staff, the local public

health system is losing its capacity to protect the public and respond adequately to public health emergencies, such as the cases of measles in northern Illinois, outbreaks of mumps downstate, and the outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in Adams County.

The case of Vermilion County Health Department illustrates the impact of both the short-term crisis and the long-term trend of diminished state and federal support for local public health services.

In response to the state fiscal crisis in 2010, the health department discontinued 14 programs and laid off twothirds of its staff (from 74 to 27 employees). It was able to respond effectively to the 2009 influenza pandemic because it had 34 nurses on staff; today, it has five nurses, two of whom are part time. If a pandemic or another public health emergency would occur today, the health department would have very few resources with which

to respond.

The governor and the General Assembly can take action now to avoid further erosion of Illinois’ public health system. The Illinois Public Health Association – which represents more than 7,000 public health professionals in local health departments, hospitals, clinics, academia and other settings – calls on the Illinois General Assembly to pass, and the governor to sign, Senate Bill 2178, which appropriates $17.1 million for the Local Health Protection Grant. This is the funding level that the governor requested for the current fiscal year.

These funds are distributed to all 97 certified local health departments in Illinois, and they support the provision of essential public health services statewide – in every House and Senate district, for every citizen in Illinois.

Many in Springfield are saying that this year’s budget may not be passed until March. Local health depart-

ment administrators already are stretching every dollar they have to the breaking point. Some – especially in rural Illinois – simply won’t be able to last that long.

If your readers have benefited from the services provided by local health departments – if they are glad they eat in restaurants that have been inspected to ensure that food is handled safely, if they are glad they were helped through a difficult pregnancy, helped to stop smoking, or had a place to have their children immunized, if they are glad they drink clean water from their own wells, if they are glad someone is making sure sewage is disposed of safely – I urge them to call their state representatives and senators now. Pass this bill to pay for the services that protect the public’s health.

In the rubber match, South’s entire lineup threw ev-

Thursday’s meeting was more than a Southwest Prairie Conference match that South needed to win. It was important to the Cougars for many reasons.

“This was a turnaround game for us,” South coach Amanda O’Boyle said. “It was

extremely important, especially since it was our ‘Rally for the Cure’ night. It’s a huge home game that we wanted to win. Like I said before, it’s our turnaround game. We beat Romeoville in a tournament and lost to them in their house, so we wanted to show them that we can win in our house.

“It was a great effort. The girls did it together as a team.

No one individual did it by themselves, and that’s apparent in the stats. It was a group win. It was well-deserved by them.”

If any part showed why the Cougars (10-15, 2-10) deserved the win, it was the third game.

Week 7 loss at Nazareth. Johnson stepped in at quarterback and kept the Hilltoppers going until Earl returned during the second-round playoff game against Montini, which JCA lost, 27-13.

That was an important stretch where we watched Johnson run from the “Hillcat” formation, not from wingback. It was an entirely different scenario.

This season, I have seen JCA twice, and Johnson has been beyond impressive.

He runs hard. He has the quickness to break any play for a big gain. He is a quality receiver. He is football-smart.

JCA (6-0) has its opportunity to gain revenge against Nazareth (5-1) Friday night when the Roadrunners visit Memorial Stadium.

The blemish on Nazareth’s record was the shocking 34-19 loss to Marian Central three weeks ago. Nazareth led that game at halftime, 19-0.

The following week, JCA whipped Marian Central, 41-3.

But forget about comparing scores. Nazareth is as athletic and talented as anyone the

Hilltoppers will face in the regular season and beyond.

The Roadrunners feature two outstanding running backs in Julian Love and Ivory Kelly-Martin. Notre Dame has a commitment from Love as a defensive back.

An immediate thought is the JCA defense, which has played so well, will be put to the ultimate test.

However, the same goes for a Nazareth defense that has been sound except perhaps for the second half against Marian Central. Having to contend with the Hilltoppers’ large offensive line, and with a back as talented as Johnson running behind them, can be a nightmare for any opponent.

right arm could be enough to put JCA over the top in what may be its most difficult regular-season assignment.

We shall see.

Two other area games of particular interest Friday night are Lincoln-Way East (5-1) at Homewood-Flossmoor (6-0) and Plainfield South (3-3) at Minooka (4-2).

H-F finished second in the state in Class 8A last season.

The Vikings’ only regular-season loss was a 43-40 barn burner against East. This season, H-F is No. 1 in the state, while East has won five straight and is destroying people.

Not saying the Griffins will win this one, but if there is one team out there that can derail the Vikings, East is a good bet. This one should be interesting.

Meanwhile, at Minooka, the Indians and Plainfield South will enter the renewal of their rivalry with both needing to win to keep their playoff hopes burning brightly.

The Southwest Prairie

Conference historically has produced unexpected results, and these two teams sometimes are involved. This time, however, who knows what to expect? There is no logical way to analyze what has transpired so far this season and say this team or that team should win. The surprise will come if either side blows out the other.

TOM STUDER

Switching from football, I was sorry to see the obituary in Wednesday’s Herald-News that Tom Studer had died after a battle with cancer.

From the time I returned to Joliet in 1983, Tom was among the best amateur golfers in this area. I covered numerous tournaments he won or finished in the top two or three.

From this perspective, he also was a unique interview.

He analyzed various aspects of the game he loved in a deeper manner than most.

The local golf community will miss him.

Before high school football season begins, a natural tendency is to draw conclusions about how good this guy or that guy might be.

Sometimes, our feelings are accurate, and sometimes they are a little off.

As we arrive at Week 7 of the season, I will admit – Joliet Catholic senior wingback Michael Johnson falls into the latter category for me.

Johnson leads the Joliet area in rushing with 1,212 yards. He averages 202 a game and 10.3 a carry. He also has caught 13 passes for 348 yards, a 26.8 average.

There was no doubt entering the season that Johnson would be good, the best back in the Hilltoppers’ stable. But, somehow, it didn’t seem he belonged in the same sentence with Josh Ferguson, Malin Jones, Ty Isaac and Mike Ivlow – those backs of recent vintage who were so outstanding.

Part of that might have come from the unselfishness Johnson displayed last season after quarterback Cade Earl was injured in JCA’s 24-21

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: JOLIET WEST 2, LINCOLN-WAY EAST 0 (26-24, 25-21)

Tigers win showdown against Griffins

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Thursday’s girls volleyball match between Joliet West and Lincoln-Way East featured plenty of interesting storylines.

It was a showdown between two of the top-four seeds in the Class 4A Lincoln-Way North Sectional and two SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue division unbeatens.

And it was a rematch of last year’s regional final thriller between two teams that both were dressed in pink Thursday to celebrate East’s Volley for the Cure match.

Playing in one of their biggest contests yet, the Tigers made sure not to disappoint as they built leads in both sets and held off late Griffin challenges to claim a 26-24, 25-21 win.

“We’ve had a good season,” Tigers coach Al Mart said. “A lot of people have looked at who we’ve played and prob-

ably have had some doubts, since we haven’t played in the big tournaments. But we’re 18-3, and the girls have earned everything that they’ve gotten.

“I told the girls that this was a big game. We were playing on their Volley for the Cure night, and they’re used to beating us. We haven’t beaten them in a while; and last year, the girls were crying their eyes out when they lost the regional to them here. We came in with a purpose and played hard. We’re starting to play smarter, and that’s all that I can ask.”

After learning earlier in the day that his Tigers (18-3, 3-0) drew the second seed behind the host Phoenix, while Plainfield Central beat out East (13-9, 3-1) for the third seed, Mart liked the way his team performed to collect the win.

While standout Lauren Stefanski (four aces, four kills, two blocks) stepped up

with when the pressure was on, West received nice contributions from many different players. That’s an encouraging sign for a squad that wants to go further than it did a year ago.

“We’re a team – and Lauren’s a huge part of it, don’t get me wrong,” Mart said.

“She stepped up with a big block, big kills and was serving tough. But we’ve had big kids before, and we haven’t won because we haven’t had other kids who’ve stepped up and played their roles.”

In the opener, West led throughout, other than two ties. The Tigers used a 4-0 run that featured two aces from Areli Hernandez to grab a 14-8 lead and eventually extended it to 16-9 before the Griffins made things interesting.

A shared block by Kailey Hackett and Sarah Dobrich (five kills, five blocks), followed by kills from Becca Lilley (five kills) and Hackett, pulled East to within 22-21.

After West took a 24-21 lead, Lilley got a kill, Hackett had a block, and a double-hit tied the score.

But the Tigers closed the set out after a serve into the net and then a block by Jenny Koerner (three kills) to grab the early advantage.

“We came together as a team and never gave up at the end, even when it got close,” said West libero Nicole Ochs, who had 14 digs and two aces.

“It’s great being 3-0 in conference, and we haven’t done that in a long time. And it was great to come back here after we lost in the regionals last year and beat them in two. It’s a great morale boost. This team meshes together so well, and we’re all very close. It’s important that we all play well together.”

In the finale, West used a kill by Madi Mulder (four kills) to grab a 21-16 lead. After East closed to within 2221 on kills by Allie DeRubertis and Dobrich, the Tigers closed things out with a kill

by Mulder, a four-hit violation and a block from Stefanski.

The Tigers also received 15 assists from Shannon Doran and four kills from Lauren Widlowski. The Griffins also got six kills and two blocks from Lindsey Paulsen, 14 digs from Melanie Weller and 11 assists from Cassidy Wyman.

“This feels really good,” Widlowski said. “Our coach always tells us that other teams don’t know what we’re made of, so it feels really good to make him proud by playing as a team. We’ve really come together, and everyone depends on each other. We work together well, and our success comes along with that.”

Griffins coach Linda Vivona was disappointed with her squad’s showing against West.

“Sometimes, we look real solid, and we’re smooth; and other times, it looks like we’re a little out of it and have to get back in rhythm,” Vivona said.

“We just need to be more consistent.”

Plainfield South focuses on communication, filling roles • VOLLEYBALL

Continued from page 21 could get the upper hand in the third game.

And just like a flip of a switch, South put out Romeoville’s spark. The communicating, play-their-role team that O’Boyle knew South could be came out to play.

“We realized that we got down on ourselves,” senior Gabby Johnson said. “We had started the second game off dead, and by the time we picked ourselves up, it was too late. When it was time to go out in the third game, we were ready to win.”

The Cougars came out strong and started looking like one team and not six individuals on a court.

Junior Sophie Berta and classmate Melissa Jordan (10 assists) played their roles perfectly and spread the offense out so evenly that it was hard for the Spartans to block them.

The hitters were producing

“We played together as a unit. Our communication was on point,” Lofton said. “Everyone was playing their role, and it helped us get the win.”

Looking forward, O’Boyle hopes her team will continue to play as a unit, pick each other up after mistakes and communicate.

The entire team hopes that it can keep earning wins, but Larry W. Kane for Shaw the players all recognize it was Media important to them to win the Dig Pink game, where they raised money for Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter.

Northern Illinois junior outside hitter T’ara Austin passes the ball in a match earlier this season. Austin has won the Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Week two consecutive weeks and is coming off a 31-kill performance in a win over Toledo. and I was like, ‘Really? Let’s keep doing it, I guess,’ ” she said.

Coming into the season, the Huskies (7-9 overall, 3-1 in MAC West) were predicted to finish first on their side of the conference, but have dealt with injuries four matches into MAC play. Junior outside hitter Mary Grace Kelly hasn’t played

in a conference game, junior middle blocker Jenna Radtke and freshman outside hitter Chrystal McAlpin have missed a couple of weeks and junior right side Brianna Horwath has been out the entire season.

“We have to be champions of adversity,” Gooden said. “We have to handle it because nobody else cares about what we

got. I think we’ve done a good job at being 3-1.”

Part of the reason behind the Huskies’ strong start to conference despite dealing with the injury bug has been the play of Austin. She had 19 kills in a sweep over Central Michigan and 16 in a sweep against Eastern Michigan. In the loss to Ball State, Austin still racked up 18 kills.

“My confidence has been up and my mentality has been different because we’ve had some people go down and we’ve had to step up,” Austin said.

The Huskies are in an important stretch, facing a pair of teams with the same conference record as them. They played at Western Michigan (7-12, 3-1 MAC West) on Thursday before hosting Miami (Ohio) (11-6, 3-1 MAC East) on Saturday.

The RedHawks ended the Huskies’ season in 2014, knocking them off in a five-set thriller in a semifinal of the MAC tournament.

DeKALB – Racking up 31 kills in a match is sure to get you attention – whether it’s from your conference or on social media.

Northern Illinois outside hitter T’ara Austin’s sensational two-week stretch has earned her back-to-back Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors, giving her a benefit other than a blooming confidence.

“You get more Twitter followers when it’s on Twitter,” Austin laughed about the award. “It’s just a title, but it’s something I didn’t see myself getting coming from actually having a starting role on the team this year.”

The 5-foot-8 junior from Joliet Central capped her strong two weeks by notching a career-high 31 kills in a four-set win at Toledo. The 31 kills on 63 attempts – plus seven digs, an

ace and an assisted block – gave her 32.5 points, which is the most by a Huskie in a four-set match since at least 2006.

“I don’t think we’ve ever addressed it so much as within the flow of things, it just happens,” Northern Illinois coach Ray Gooden said of Austin’s increase in attempts. “She had 31 kills and at no point did we say, ‘We have to set T.’ It was just part of what we were doing. She put herself in good spots to be successful.

“We knew that they keyed on her. They put their best defender against her, they put one of their best blockers against her and our tempo and her preparation helped her find success. She still found ways to score.”

Although she said she felt strong against Toledo, the eye-popping number of kills came as a surprise.

“One of my teammates, when we were at a break was like, ‘T, you have like 25 kills,’

NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES GAME 1: CUBS AT ST. LOUIS, 5:30 P.M. FRIDAY, TBS

Lester vs. Lackey matches former Red Sox teammates

By R.B. FALLSTROM

St. Louis Cardinals Game 1 starter John Lackey stands in the outfield with his 6-year-old son, Carter, during the team workout Thursday in St. Louis. The Cardinals will face the Cubs on Friday for the first time in post-season history.

The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – John Lackey has been quite the bargain for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Pitching for the major league minimum $507,500 salary because of a clause in his contract, Lackey went 13-10 for a team that lost its ace early.

And when old rivals face each other in a postseason series for the first time Friday, he’ll be pitching against an old buddy.

The 36-year-old Lackey will oppose the Cubs’ Jon Lester, a duo that formed a devastating one-two for the Red Sox in the 2013 World Series.

“I’d like to say I was surprised, but I’m not,” Lackey said Thursday. “He’s good. No accident people running into each other this time of year.”

Lackey had a career-best 2.77 ERA and consistently went deep for the 100-win Cardinals, stepping up as the de facto ace after Adam Wainwright tore his left Achilles in late April.

He has earned this slot, the crusty, bulldog demeanor reminding management of former star pitcher Chris Carpenter.

Lackey was paid $82.5 million the previous five years under a contract he signed with Boston, which included a conditional club option for 2015 at the minimum. That condition was met when he missed 2012 while recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery.

St. Louis acquired him from the Red Sox on July 31, 2014. Lackey can become a free agent again this fall.

“I don’t think we’ll discuss what we’re doing in the offseason or strategy in the offseason at this point,” Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. “We’re excited he’s a part of it and we’re looking forward to a successful October.”

Lester and Lackey combined for three victories in a six-game 2013 Series triumph over the Cardinals. Lester was 2-0 with a 0.59 ERA and Lackey won the clincher.

“He was probably the best on the planet going through the playoffs that year,” Lackey said. “He knows how to compete and he knows how to handle this time of year, for sure.”

Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester blows a bubble during practice Thursday in St. Louis. The Cubs will face the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday in Game 1 of the National League Division Series.

Lester will try to follow an excellent wild-card performance by Jake Arrieta, who threw a four-hitter Wednesday night in a 4-0 victory over the Pirates.

Lester figured he’d be matched against 17-game winner Michael Wacha, but the right-hander was 2-3 with a 7.78 ERA the final month and will start Game 3. When Lester learned he would be opposed

by Lackey, he thought it funny – and fitting.

“He’s going to almost outwill you sometimes, if that makes sense,” Lester said.

“Our friendship will go beyond this game, will go beyond this career, but come tomorrow, we’re not buddies anymore.”

Kyle Hendricks (8-7, 3.95) will oppose Jaime Garcia (106, 2.43) in Game 2 Saturday.

Arrieta (22-6, 1.77), having a breakout Cy Young-caliber season, faces Wacha (17-7, 3.38) in Game 3 and in Game 4 it will be St. Louis’ Lance Lynn (1211, 3.03) against probably Jason Hammel (10-7, 3.74).

Thousands of fans regularly make the trek north or south and do their utmost to make the visitors feel right at home.

“I didn’t even realize this

was the first time we had met in the postseason,” said Cubs manager Joe Maddon, who spoke reverently about the Cardinals tradition during earlier trips to Busch Stadium.

“I thought that was kind of interesting; but then again, it’s believable if you look at how this thing plays out.”

“It’s going to be bumping tomorrow, regardless of who’s winning,” Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong said.

“And when we go to Wrigley, we know that stadium is going to be bumping for sure.”

The pregame workout was newsworthy for the Cardinals, who saw enough from All-Star catcher Yadier Molina that they believe he can be effective behind the plate wearing a hard plastic molded splint to protect a strained left thumb ligament. The thumb will be wrapped for at-bats.

Molina was injured tagging out the Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo sliding into the plate on Sept.

20 in Chicago.

Maddon said he’d wait until game day to announce any roster changes but promised no major wrinkles.

“It’s not going to be dramatically different, promise you,” Maddon said.

the game and walked gingerly.

An MRI confirmed Beltre had a strained back but no structural damage, general manager Jon Daniels said.

“We haven’t ruled him out of tomorrow’s game,” Daniels said.

Texas will have Joey Gallo and Ed Lucas travel from its Arizona Fall League team in case Beltre needs to be removed from the roster, a decision that also would rule Beltre out of the AL Championship Series.

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Donaldson felt light-headed while playing defense in the top of the fifth, forcing the AL MVP candidate to come out of the game.

“They check for concus-

sions, and apparently he passed all the tests. So that’s good news,” Gibbons said.

Yovani Gallardo (1-0) allowed two runs and four hits in five innings.

“That’s what we really needed from him,” Banister said. “I think he did a great job.”

Gallardo is 4-0 with a 1.78 ERA in four career starts against Toronto.

“We got in some good hitter’s counts and he wouldn’t give in,” Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin said. “He didn’t make those mistakes that we capitalize on.”.

Keone Kela, Jake Diekman and Sam Dyson finished, with Dyson getting a save.

Pitching on 11 days’ rest,

Price (0-1) allowed five runs and five hits in seven innings.

He dropped to 1-6 with a 4.79 ERA in 11 postseason games, and is 0-6 in six playoff starts.

“I expect to have better results,” a subdued Price said.

Gibbons said Price was the victim of timely hits by the Rangers.

“He wasn’t getting hit around. It was just a couple of key hits at some key times that made the difference,” Gibbons said.

Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista hit a solo homer in the sixth, then left with a sore right hamstring after popping out in the eighth and was replaced in right by Dalton Pompey. The Blue Jays said Bautista is expected to play Friday.

Delino DeShields and Beltre hit RBI singles to give Texas a 2-0 lead in the third. Beltre, injured when sliding into second base as Prince Fielder hit into an inning-ending double play in the first, had difficulty running and was replaced by rookie Hanser Alberto in the bottom of third.

Edwin Encarnacion’s run-scoring infield single cut the deficit in half in the fourth - the first run Toronto scored off Gallardo in three meetings this season.

Price hit Odor with a pitch for the second straight at-bat, and Chirinos homered for a 4-1 lead.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO – A big day by the bottom of Texas’ batting order helped the Rangers overcome an injury to slugger Adrian Beltre in the start of their postseason run.

Robinson Chirinos hit a two-run homer against David Price, Rougned Odor added a solo shot, and the Rangers beat the Blue Jays, 5-3, Thursday in their AL Division Series opener as postseason baseball returned to Toronto for the first time in 22 years.

“It means a lot to the team to come to Toronto and win that first game against a great pitcher,” Chirinos said.

Both starting third baseman left with injuries: Beltre came in the third with a strained muscle in his lower back and Toronto’s Josh Donaldson in the fifth after he was kneed in the head while sliding in an attempt to break up a double play.

Rangers manager Jeff Banister said he wasn’t sure whether Beltre would be available for Game 2 on Friday. In an effort to remain in the series, Beltre had a cortisone shot.

“Obviously we want Adrian in there,” Banister said. “He’s the heart and soul of this ballclub.”

After going for tests at a hospital, Beltre returned to the clubhouse about an hour after

A perfect calling

Retiring Joliet Junior College art professor blended vocation, avocation If you go

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – “I saw I could make a living.”

That’s why Steve Sherrell of Yorkville, a prolific artist before he turned to teaching, embarked on a 26-year career as college art professor that will end Dec. 22 when Sherrell retires.

A large sampling of his artwork is on display until Oct. 17 in the Laura Sprague Gallery at Joliet Junior College, where Sherrell has worked as an art professor for most of his teaching career.

But the allure of teaching – for Sherrell – was more than the color green. Sherrell said he was “called” to teach – a call that fit perfectly, like a coat.

“I have very good relationships with people of college age,” Sherrell said. “I can relate to them; I can talk to them. They’re not put off by me; they’re not weird about it. I’m a 65-year-old guy, and I talk to them like their buddy.

We get along perfectly. And I still made time for art.”

In addition to instructing his students in the mechanics of making art, Sherrell discussed the technical challenges of making a living with that art – the money problems, the life problems and the overall lack of support for artists and their work.

“People have a tendency to think it’s [art] frivolous and silly, so an artist has to live with that and figure out a way to get through it,” Sherrell said.

Thus said, Sherrell is pleased folks are enjoying his JJC show, although he really is not surprised.

In his 40-year art career, Sherrell said he has displayed work in more than 200 exhibitions. For the most part, Sherrell did not seek

I’m kind of an explorer, but I explore art. For me, art is about doing new things and finding new things.”

He has one source for inspiration – the work itself.

“It [artwork] tells me what it wants of me,” Sherrell said. “I’m attracted to whatever the painting wants to be.”

Still, Sherrell can point to trends in his work. In the past, Sherrell produced quiet, meditative art, the result of experimenting with textiles.

Today, Sherrell is fascinated with color, composition and the “psychological feel of things,” so he’s producing A piece of artwork by Steve Sherrell as seen Thursday in Joliet. pieces to reflect that interest – and to pique the viewer’s out these opportunities; they ite.

the realization hit him: I am an artist. Sherrell eventually studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in art.

Sherrell was regularly showing his pieces when he accepted an offer to teach art as an adjunct instructor at Waubonsee Community College in Aurora. Soon afterward, Sherrell began doing the same at JJC. When JJC offered Sherrell a full-time position, he happily accepted it.

In retirement, Sherrell said he will focus more on his art and maybe even music, too, as he’s self-taught in both guitar and piano, although he stops short at calling himself an actual musician.

Sherrell also would like to return to Florence, where six years ago he spent several weeks with his, wife Sally.

And why not? he said.

“It’s the nicest city in the world,” Sherrell said. “We just walked for six weeks and enjoyed it.”

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

In competition, describe your hand

CELEBRITY CIPHER

John Terry, captain of the Chelsea soccer team in London and former captain of England, said, “You don’t have to be captain to have an opinion.”

That reminds me of Mao Tsetung’s “Little Red Book,” which contains the recommendation that army leaders listen to the opinions of the enlisted men.

Sometimes in the auction at a bridge table, one player knows where to go and immediately names the final contract. But in particular in competitive sequences, it pays to anticipate further enemy action.

Look at today’s South hand. He opens one spade, and his partner raises to two spades. What should South rebid after East (a) passes or (b) overcalls three clubs?

If East stays out of the auction, South ought to make a three-heart game-try, expecting partner to bid game with his values in the majors.

But South might shoot out four spades.

When East enters the auction, though, it is time to call on partner’s opinion. Now South must show his heart suit, so that North can judge what to do if the opponents bid higher.

Here, over three hearts by South, West will presumably raise to four clubs. Then North will continue with four spades, and probably East will bid five clubs as an each-way bet – maybe it will make, or it might be a cheap sacrifice.

After South passes, North should go on to five spades because of his side’s double fit. East will double, and South will go down two, minus 300.

This is cheaper than five clubs bid and made for plus 400.

gradually by increasing the time between them over several nights.

Even babies who learn to sleep through the night may go through periods of night awakenings, particularly around 8 or 9 months old.

“Separation anxiety” first appears at this age.

This is a time when your baby is learning new motor skills, such as crawling, sitting, standing and climbing. Being separated from you, combined with the excitement of practicing her new skills, may interrupt your baby’s normal sleep pattern. Consider calling to her, rather than stopping in to soothe her. Some babies benefit from having their nursery door kept open a crack, so they can hear you.

A patient of mine whose first baby was not a good sleeper once asked me if that meant the baby would continue to have sleep problems later in life. I checked with a pediatrician colleague. I learned young children (older than infants) and teenagers indeed can have sleep disorders like those that affect adults.

That includes difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, sleepiness during the daytime, snoring or abnormal movements and behaviors during sleep.

Fortunately, these sleep problems are no more likely to occur in kids who were fitful sleepers when they were infants. That’s one less thing to worry about as you are wondering if you’ll be allowed to sleep through the night.

Dear Dr. K: My 9-monthold is still waking up three to four times during the night. How can I get her to sleep through the night?

Dear Reader: By the time a baby is 4 or 5 months old, he or she is capable of sleeping through the night. We tend to think of “sleeping through the night” as a long stretch of uninterrupted sleep. But in reality, all babies wake up during the night. Some discover their own way of comforting themselves and getting back to sleep.

Others must be taught.

Different experts recommend different techniques for helping your baby get to sleep and then to sleep through the night. Ask your pediatrician what he or she recommends, or do some research on your own to see which technique best fits with your parenting philosophy.

Despite the differences, most experts agree on the following points: • Establish a consistent daily schedule of sleeping, feeding, bathing and playing times.

• Babies benefit from a regular bedtime routine.

• A good sleep environment consists of a dark (but not too dark) and quiet room.

• A transitional object, such as a soft toy or blanket, can help an older infant fall asleep.

• A baby should be put to bed when drowsy, but not yet asleep so she can learn to fall asleep on her own.

• Make nighttime visits boring for your baby. Feed your baby if she is hungry, but not if she is looking for comfort. Change her diaper if it is soiled or very wet.

Otherwise, offer only a minimum of stimulation.

• Let a fussy baby lie, and see if she falls back asleep on her own.

• If your baby is accustomed to nighttime feedings, eliminate them

Dear Abby: I was invited to a small gathering of women.

I arrived punctually, was greeted by the hostess and asked if I wanted some water to drink. I accepted. As I looked around the room, everyone else had a glass of wine. When one other woman arrived a little while later and joined our group, the hostess asked her if she wanted wine or water to drink.

I have never abused alcohol. Why was I not given a choice? I later found out all the other women had been given a “show up” time that was a half-hour earlier than my “show up” time.

I am hurt by the way I was treated. What are your thoughts? – Second-class

I think your hostess could learn a few things about hospitality, because you were treated shabbily. As it stands, you have nothing to lose by asking her why because I can’t imagine you would ever accept another invitation from the woman if one is offered.

Dear Abby: At what point should grown kids in their 20s pay for their own “extras” (cellphone, gas, movies, gym memberships)?

In my opinion, if they can’t afford these luxuries, they should get a second job or do without. My husband, on the other hand, thinks they should be “rewarded” simply for being good kids.

At this stage in their lives, I think gifts should be reserved for birthdays and Christmas only and we have been raising kids with a sense of entitlement that may be detrimental to their future (and to our retirement). What are your thoughts on this? – Odd

Woman Out In Pennsylvania Dear Odd Woman Out: My thoughts are these: If you are truly concerned your

husband’s generosity could have a negative impact on your retirement savings, then he might be overly generous. If the “children” expect these gifts and don’t realize how lucky they are to be receiving this kind of largesse, the gifts should be stopped.

However, if neither of these things is true and your husband derives pleasure from doing this for them, you should stay out of it.

Dear Abby: Six months ago, my brother told me he vapes. At first I didn’t think much of it. Because I pride myself on how well I keep secrets, I haven’t told our parents. But now his grades have started sliding, and I wonder if there’s a connection.

He’s going into his senior year of high school, and his graduation is on the line. If vaping has had an effect on his grades, it might be best for me to tell our parents and figure things out from there. I don’t know what the right choice is. What should I do? – Holding A Secret In

Washington Dear Holding: From what

I have been reading lately, some teens have begun vaping marijuana, which is known to impair memory. Depending upon what substance your brother has been vaping, it definitely could be why his grades have dropped.

Secrets that can pose a danger shouldn’t be kept because they are not harmless. I think your instinct is to share your concerns with your parents, and I concur.

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – There are several options available to you. Prepare to check out every possibility and make a move. Don’t let self-doubt or anxiety stand in your way. You have the tools and knowledge to be successful no matter what you decide, but the window of opportunity won’t stay open for long.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Stay on top of personal paperwork. Legal, medical or other vital documents are best reviewed and updated.

Penalties or losses will be incurred if you let matters lapse.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Take on added responsibility in the workplace. As a fair and confident employee, you will earn the

respect of your colleagues and put yourself in the running for a raise or promotion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t spread yourself too thin. Making unrealistic promises or taking on too many tasks will damage your reputation if you fall short.

Stick to a manageable agenda for the best results.

Your true colors are sure to shine through at functions that allow you to show off your personal attributes. Expect added recognition.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Family dynamics will be turbulent. Don’t make a fuss when you

should be listening to people and looking for solutions. As long as you remain helpful and positive, you will come out on top.
