Mission: Become a ‘big’ for our community The unmatched “littles” waiting for a “big” at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties don’t want much.

“Hope. Somebody to care for them. Someone to have fun with.”

That’s the assessment of Mike Trafton, the new executive director at the local branch of the nonprofit organization that serves Will and Grundy counties. BBBS pairs children with an adult role model to help change kids’ perspectives and give them the opportunity to reach their potential, according to the agency’s website.

There are nearly 100 local kids waiting for a “big.” And Trafton and the rest of the dedicated staff at BBBS are determined to get 100 “bigs” signed up by Christmas.

The mission was born from an encounter Traf-

VIEWS Kate Schott ton had recently with the mother of a boy who has been waiting a year and a half for a match. During an event at Undisputed Strength in Joliet – where ummatched littles were given a demonstration of what goes on there, as well as a cooking lesson by Tom Grotovsky of The Great American Bagel – a mother came up to him.

With tears in her eyes, she described how much it would mean to her son to have a “big” in his life. Soon, Trafton and other BBBS staff had tears in their eyes too. And they decided to do something about it.

Thus the goal of 100 by Christmas was set. Trafton is

reaching out to businesses, churches and anyone else he can think of who can encourage local residents to become a “big.” It was a no-brainer for me to say “of course” when he asked if the newspaper would help spread the word.

Those who want to be a “big” have to fill out an interest form. The goal is to match each one with a child who lives within 5 to 10 miles, according to Cruz Ramirez, the Community-Based Program Coordinator and Enrollment & Match Specialist.

“Bigs” meet with the “little” at least twice a month, for two to four hours each visit.

Activities bigs and littles do include visiting libraries, going to movies, gardening, baking or arts and crafts projects, she said.

No matter where you live in Will or Grundy, BBBS

wants to hear from you. You live in Morris? Staff will come there to talk with you at the organization’s local office.

Live in Peotone or Bolingbrook or Coal City or Channahon? BBBS needs “bigs” from throughout our two counties. Give BBBS a call at 815-723-2227 to learn more.

Men especially are needed, the BBBS staff say, as there are many boys on the waiting list eagerly waiting for a positive male role model.

Cruz once had an 8-yearold boy tell her why he needed a “big” in his life. His dad wasn’t around, he told her, and he wanted a man in his life to help guide him toward making good decisions.

An 8-year-old shouldn’t be able to articulate that so clearly.

But the “littles” aren’t the only ones getting something out of the relationship. The

“bigs” get a sense of accomplishment, and of giving back to their community and making a difference in someone’s life, Trafton said.

And maybe they get to help make a kid’s wish come true.

“How cool would it be if I had a match by Christmas?” one boy recently asked Cruz.

“How cool would that be?”

Cool indeed. If you ever have thought about becoming a “big,” now is the time.

You will be giving a priceless gift that doesn’t even require a bow.

Will County Clerk faces unfunded election law mandate head-on

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots and her staff are staying busy as they work to comply with an unfunded state mandate ahead of the March 15 primary that requires certain Illinois counties to offer sameday voter registration at every polling place.

Start-up costs carry a price tag of more than $1 million for just Will County when taking into account the required staff time, printed materials, additional training for election judges and the installment of Internet capabilities, among other factors, Schultz Voots said.

“All these little things add up,” Schultz Voots said, noting how extension cords alone cost $4,000.

The law requires Schultz Voots to equip the county’s 300 polling places with electronic poll books – or computer tablets with voting and registration capabilities. The law only applies to counties with a population of 100,000 or more, or those already using electronic poll books.

For the past two weeks,

staff have been meticulously color coding the electronic poll books and accessories in hopes of minimizing confusion on Election Day when volunteer judges hold the responsibility of getting the tablets up and running.

Schultz Voots’ office has entered into a $878,019 contract with Election Systems & Software – known as ES&S – to comply with the changes.

As part of that contract, the 640 tablets – two for each precinct – is costing Will County $553,600.

“In some ways, the cost to the county is falling onto the taxpayers,” she said.

Schultz Voots said she is concerned that the cost outweighs the benefit of the few expected to take advantage of same-day voter registration.

For example, only 736 county residents took advantage of the option in the November 2014 election. That’s compared to the 388,057 voters registered in the county at the time. Taking only the $878,019 contract into consideration, that equates to about $1,200 for every one person who registered on Election Day last year.

To mandate this during

a presidential election year places more pressure on county clerks because of the higher turnout, she said. She said lawmakers should have considered requiring the books at certain precincts to cut costs.

Schultz Voots said she also is concerned the Internet connection won’t be sufficient in rural precincts or in voting locations in basements and lower levels.

“If this poll book goes down for any reason, it’s going to delay voting and cause lines,” she said.

Grundy County Clerk Kay Olson said she began in 2013 using electronic poll books at each of the county’s 40 precincts, but those devices do not yet have voter registration capabilities.

That means those tablets will need software upgrades totaling about $40,000, she said. Olson said she initially thought Grundy County was in the clear because when the state law was first crafted, it only applied to counties of 100,000 population or more.

But an amendment followed requiring counties to comply if they’re already using poll books.

Both Olson and Schultz

Know more Residents may register to vote online, in person at the local election authority office or at driver’s license facilities, with deputy registrars who are appointed in each jurisdiction, or via mail using the Illinois Voter Registration Application, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections.

What you need In order to register to vote in Illinois, at least 17 years old on or before the primary election and be at least 18 years old by Election Day; a U.S. citizen; a resident of your precinct at least 30 days before Election Day.

How to vote While voters can register and vote on Election Day now, would-be voters are encouraged register prior to Election Day by visiting their County Clerk’s office.

People can vote prior to Election Day using one of the following options: Vote-by-Mail Voting Early Voting Grace Period Voting

General Primary election dates Feb. 4: First day for sending mail-in ballots to voters Feb. 16: Last day for voter registration Feb. 17: First day of voter registration grace period Feb. 29: First day for early voting March 10: Last day for receiving mail-in ballots March 14: Last day for early voting March 15: Election Day and last day for grace period registration Voots urged people to register ahead of time to minimize

lines and complications on Election Day.

Will County farmers faced with smaller yields, slump in prices

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JHN

PLAINFIELD – While this summer’s record-breaking rainfalls dampened the start of planting season, longtime Will County farming brothers Dan and George Beutel considered themselves lucky last week to have their crops out of the ground and into grain bins so early in the fall harvest.

The two brothers headed Monday into the homestretch, harvesting corn on a 190-acre farm on the corner of Caton Farm and County Line roads in Plainfield.

“It took us two months to get it in the ground and one month to get it out. We’re getting done just in the nick of time,” Dan Beutel said Monday afternoon, noting rain was in the forecast the following two days.

The Beutel brothers are not alone.

About 93 percent of Illinois’ corn crops had been harvested as of Oct. 25, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Last year at that time, only 57 percent of the state’s corn crops were out of the fields. At the same time, about 93 percent of soybean crops had been harvested in 2015, according to the USDA, compared to the 59 percent harvested at that time last year.

But a late start to planting season is to blame for Will County farmers having just 75 percent of crops harvested so far, said Mark Schneidewind, manager with the Will County Farm Bureau.

While the Beutel brothers are in good shape, some farmers – particularly those in flood-prone eastern Will County – will remain out in the fields for another week or more, waiting for crops to fully mature, he said.

Schneidewind said the

Some area farmers should be on par with national average • CROPS

Continued from page 3 bushels – down 4 percent from last year’s record production, according to the USDA. For soybeans, farmers are expected to produce about 47.2 bushels an acre this year, which is slightly below last year’s record of 47.5 bushels an acre.

Area for harvest in the United States is forecast at a record 83.5 million acres, while planted area for the U.S. is estimated at 84.3 million acres. Record yields are forecast in 11 states including Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi and Wisconsin.

Schneidewind said he doesn’t expect Will County to see any record-breaking yields this year.

An August sampling of 59 local farms shows Will County farmers could see an average of 158 bushels an acre of corn when all is said and done. A good year is 180 to 200, while average yields range around 160 to 165.

“That’s not bad, considering the rain we had [in June],” Schneidewind said. “We’re hearing some farmers are doing better than others. Some could see 165 or 180 [bushels per acre]. Others could see as low as 120.”

Some farmers in Will County should be on par with or below the national average, he said.

U.S. farmers are expected to produce about 168 bushels of corn per acre this year – the second-highest yield on record, according to statistics from the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

If realized, it would also mark the third-largest production on record for the U.S. Illinois has harvested

A grain truck waits for a load of grain Monday. about 1.95 billion bushels of corn this year from 11.5 million acres of fields, according to the USDA. The state’s farmers are expected to produce about 170 corn bushels an acre, compared to the 200 bushels an acre average of 2014.

Illinois has harvested 530.8 million bushels of soybean crop this year from 9.8 million acres of fields. The state’s farmers are expected to produce about 54 bushels per acre compared to the 56 bushels per acre average experienced in 2014, according to the USDA.

Commodity prices take a hit

Despite a beautiful harvest season, corn and soybean prices continue to slip.

Corn prices for the 2015-16 market year could range from $3.45 to $4.05 a bushel, down

Soybean prices for the 201516 market year are expected to range from $8.40 to $9.90 with an average of $9.15 a bushel – or about half of what they were priced at three years ago, according to WASDE. Some farmers have opted to hold off on selling their grain, Schneidewind said.

“This time of year, every-

body is selling. Some people don’t have a choice and sell directly to the grain elevator or processor. Some wait for a later date, hoping supply will go down at some point,” Schneidewind said.

Farmers like Steve Kodat, of Morris, finished up in the fields in mid-October, thanks to a month’s worth of warm, dry weather that allowed him to make rapid progress in harvesting crops and preparing fields for next year.

But now he’s just waiting for market conditions to improve.

“It’s all just sitting in bins now,” Kodat said.

Kodat and the Beutel brothers know they could very well be playing a losing game, with prospects of an improving market appearing dim.

“We could be waiting forever,” George Beutel said.

6 State report card shows demographic changes in area counties

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com The 2015 Illinois Report Card shows increased enrollment at several Will County schools and decreased enrollment at one Grundy County school.

Joliet Public Schools District 86, Plainfield School District 202 and Joliet Township High School District 204 have shown increased enrollment over last year, according to state data released Friday, while Morris Community High School District 101 showed a decrease.

The Illinois Report Card website provides a plethora of information about individual public schools and districts throughout the state, including test scores, the amount spent educating each student and demographic information about students.

State education officials unveiled the new Illinois Report Card based on data from the 2014-15 school year that shows academic, financial, personnel and student information about public schools and school districts.

Besides enrollment, student demographic changes also have taken place at some of these schools, with District 86 showing an increased Hispanic population and District 204 with an increased percentage of low-income students.

Statewide, the enrollment numbers increased slightly, as have the percentage of Hispanic and low-income students.

Tony Smith, Illinois State Board of Education superintendent, said in a teleconfer-

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Fifth-grade students take in March a practice Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers at Woodland Elementary School in Joliet. State education officials unveiled last week the new Illinois Report Card based on data from the 2014-15 school year; it did not include district-specific information on test scores, however. Those are expected to be released at some point in November. last year, with 57.2 percent of students at the Joliet school district being Hispanic.

About 13 percent of students are white and 26 percent are black at the district.

Tanisha Cannon, assistant superintendent of student services, said she believes the Hispanic population has been growing at the district in the last five to six years.

“As the population increases in Joliet, we anticipate our Hispanic population will increase in terms of stuArea districts The percentage of Hispan- dent enrollment,” she said.

Even though enrollment ic students at District 86 increased by 2.4 percent over has increased by 134 students

ence Friday that Illinois “most mirrors the demographics of the country.” He said there has been a transition in student demographics statewide.

“We have now majority students of color. We have about just over 50 percent of our kids are students of color now and that’s a major transition.

About 25 percent are Latino and that move of course mirrors the transition of the rest of the country,” he said.

at 11,781 students, district officials expect that number of fluctuate from year to year.

The percentage of low-income students decreased by 2.3 percent at 95.5 percent.

But Sandy Zalewski, District 86 spokeswoman, said that number is skewed because the district is part of a federal breakfast and lunch program and preschool students have a half day and do not eat lunch.

“Realistically, that’s not an accurate number on the report card,” she said.

The state defines low-income students as those who

are either eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunches, live in substitute care or whose families receive public aid.

Enrollment has continued to increase at District 204 to 6,427 students, according to the 2015 report card.

The number of low-income students also slightly increased from 63.3 percent to 65.4 percent.

“There is not one definitive factor that we can speculate on in regards to our enrollment and low-income population. Our student population varies from year to year and is a reflection of our community as a whole,” District 204 Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy wrote in an email.

Plainfield School District 202 student enrollment also increased over last year at 28,116.

District officials have said there were enrollment declines after a growth period throughout the 2000s as more people moved into the Chicago suburbs.

District 202 enrollment is declining at the elementary level but holding steady at the middle and high school level.

Morris Community High School District 101 enrollment dropped from 989 to 932 students. Enrollment has fluctuated in the past five years at the high school, according to state data.

“We’re not seeing a huge fluctuation in the community but we’re seeing a mild decline,” MCHS Principal Kelly Hussey said.

City of Joliet looks into McFarland mailings

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet is conducting an internal investigation into Councilman Jim McFarland’s use of city envelopes for possible political purposes.

McFarland acknowledged using city of Joliet envelopes produced at City Hall to promote a Facebook page he developed for lost pets and to announce a pancake breakfast for veterans being held Sunday.

He said he “inadvertently” used about 150 envelopes in the two mailings and will pay for the cost of the envelopes.

“What more can I do?”

McFarland said. “I inadvertently used them. I offered to pay them back. It was an honest mistake trying to do a good gesture. Looking back, I should have policed the envelopes a little better when my family stuffed them.”

Sources said the matter still is being investigated.

Time to change clocks, home alarm batteries PLAINFIELD – Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday clocks “fall back” by one hour.

The Plainfield Fire Protection District and the International Association of Fire Chiefs asks everyone to change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, according to a news release from the fire district.

Working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors save lives. They should be tested monthly and batteries Mayor Bob O’Dekirk and City Manager Jim Hock said they could not comment on the matter because it was discussed in closed session with the City Council.

McFarland was asked about the use of the envelopes in one closed session in mid-October. A second executive session was held Monday at a meeting that McFar-

changed every six months when clocks are changed in the spring and the fall.

All smoke alarms need to be replaced every 10 years and carbon monoxide detectors need to be replaced every five to seven years.

For information, visit www. plainfieldfpd.com. Residents who have trouble changing batteries can call the fire district at 815-436-5335, ext.

land did not attend.

Councilman John Gerl said he has been told the council will meet Monday in closed session to again discuss the matter.

“My understanding is more information is coming to us,” Gerl said.

Elected officials typically are prohibited from using government resources for

I WILL

political purposes.

Joliet has an ordinance that states: “No officer or employee shall intentionally use any property or resources of the city in connection with any prohibited activity.”

McFarland said the two mailings “could be construed as political. I inadvertently did it, and it won’t happen again.”

McFarland provided copies of the material that he said was in the mailings.

The flier on the free breakfast says, “Councilman Jim McFarland invites Active and Veteran Military to a Pancake Breakfast” and includes his personal email for reservations. It also states that the breakfast is “Paid for by The Committee to Elect McFarland.”

In the letter about the Facebook page for lost pets, McFarland identifies himself as councilman at-large twice and says he was “inspired to begin this effort after receiving countless messages from residents asking for

my assistance in connecting owners with their lost pets in and around Joliet on my City Council Facebook page.”

He’s representing himself from county jail cell

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

he believed the Supreme Court rules governing his access to evidence supersedes jail policy, noting letters taken during “a particular shakedown” were not returned.

“My concern is I don’t want things to be misplaced,”

Ballard told the judge.

But Rozak said Ballard’s decision to represent himself would not warrant special treatment, such as extra computer use or time in the law library.

“I told you when you went ‘pro se’ I’m not going to order

[the jail] to do anything outside policy. You’re on your own. You’re the one who decided to represent yourself on a murder case. You have to deal with that,” Rozak said.

The Ballards are scheduled for another pretrial hearing in December.

• Sunday, November 1, 2015

JOLIET – Police reports and other documents will be turned over to a Romeoville man representing himself on murder charges, while his 16-year-old son still has a lawyer.

Mark Ballard, 43, and his son, Adam, are accused of killing Richard Pollack, 55, with a baseball bat during a street brawl Aug. 10, 2014, in the 400 block of Tallman Avenue in Romeoville.

While defense attorney Paul Napolski still represents Adam Ballard, Mark Ballard

told Judge Daniel Rozak last month he would exercise his constitutional right to represent himself. Mark Ballard is thereby entitled to review evidence that will be used in his trial, which could be a problem while he’s in the Will County jail.

Some reports and photographs are on CDs or DVDs, Mark Ballard a n d p l a s t i c discs and cases are not allowed in the jail.

“I’m not implying Mr. Ballard would do so, but they could be cracked into something that could cut or stab someone,” Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Mike Fitzgerald said after a hearing Friday at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet.

Camiros report gives data and details on downtown Joliet

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Camiros “Downtown Plan” presented last week to the City Council can be interesting reading – if you’re interested in downtown Joliet.

Hardly written with rose-colored glasses on, the report delineates many of the problems that lie ahead for downtown economic development, including the low- to moderate-income neighborhoods that surround the business district.

The report provides details not easily available otherwise, including occupancy rates in downtown office buildings, business trends since the 1970s and employment numbers.

It also recognizes downtown strengths, recognizing that government is adding the most jobs but noting that education has become the fastest growing source of new employment and a potential catalyst for a “Mecca for young adults” that Camiros sees as an economic opportunity for the city.

Rod Tonelli, president of the City Center Partnership, said people should read the 45-page report and not rely on media accounts or other summaries without looking at Camiros’ findings in detail.

“If they take the time to actually pick up a copy and read it, there’s reason to be excited,” Tonelli said.

The report can be found on the city of Joliet website, www. cityofjoliet.info.

The excitement, Tonelli said, is the potential to take advantage of opportunities provided by the new Joliet Junior College campus slated to open in January 2017, the Robert W. Pilaster Free Enterprise Center opened in 2014 by the University of St. Francis, and the transportation center under construction downtown.

An artist’s rendering of how downtown Joliet might look on a redesigned Chicago Street.

Some facts and figures from the downtown plan The largest land use downtown is for parking, which takes up 64 of 149 total acres. Commercial use comes in second with Harrah’s Casino being the largest. Public use, including government offices, churches and schools, ranks third.

In 1975, Chicago, Ottawa, Clinton and Van Buren streets had more than 80 stores, restaurants and bars. In 2013, there were 13 such businesses on those streets.

More than 5,200 people worked downtown in 2011, up from 5,000 in 2002. Education was the fastest growing job sector although a small one.

Government jobs downtown grew from 3,000 in 2002 to 3,400 in 2011.

Retail trade jobs in that period fell from 109 to 71.

The two large apartment buildings downtown are: Louis Joliet Apartments, which has 61 units and a 92 percent occupancy rate: and Senior Suites of Joliet, which has 90 units and 100 percent occupancy. decades that we’ve had this number of catalyzing projects,” said Tonelli, who also counts the future Will County Courthouse while admitting future construction is still iffy.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk was not so enthusiastic about the report. The mayor criticized Camiros planner Bill James for not providing dollar amounts and other details.

“We’ve had years of talk.

I was looking for a blueprint

going forward,” O’Dekirk said later.

But he did say the ideas in the plan are good if the city can put them into action.

Some have criticized the plan for being too repetitive of past plans in what it recommends for the future of downtown Joliet. But more than half of the plan is an analysis of existing conditions and recommendations for how to implement changes downtown.

Experts discuss economy at Time!

Grundy Growth Conference It’s Turkey I’m

By MIKE MALLORY

Baaaaack!

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Annual Grundy County Growth Conference held Friday at the Morris Country Club featured presentations on the state budget, public-private partnerships, shared services, home rule and what taxpayers value the most.

Ralph Martire, executive director of the Center for Tax & Budget Accountability, explained there’s a misconception about the state’s budget – the topic that generated the most feedback at the conference.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget or the majority Democrats’ budget that is passed, Martire said. He said the issue is a lack of revenue generated annually.

“The real driving problem is poor tax policy,” Martire said.

Speaking to Illinois’ longterm economic growth lag, Martire said from 1997 to 2013, Illinois’ total state and local tax burden, as a percentage of personal income, ranked in the bottom 10 of all states for most of this period. Illinois consistently had the second-lowest tax burden in the Midwest during this period, based on data provided by Martire from Federation of Tax Administrators.

Yet Illinois ranks fifth in population. The state should not be ranking in the bottom third when it comes to spending, he said.

To help solve the deficit by

Village of Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman (center) explains the concept of home rule in municipal government Friday at the Grundy County Growth Conference. creating more revenue, Martire proposes that as much as people hate taxes, state income tax should be raised from 3.75 percent to 4.75 percent, which would generate about $4 billion or $5 billion.

He said the state, one of three to not tax retirement income, needs to tax retirement income according to the amount one earns. This can generate about $1.2 billion, he said.

Even with these proposed tax increases, Illinois would still be about the 27th- or 28thranked state in tax burden, he said. He said in a few years the state could pay its bills with this plan. He also noted Illinois ranks last in the portion of public education paid for by the state, but first in the portion paid for by property tax.

Switching gears to the budget balancing at the local government level, the village of Glenview explained to attendees how it has successfully partnered with neighboring municipalities in shared services agreements to save money across the board.

Peter D’Agostino, assistant to public works director in Glenview, said the Municipal Partnering Initiative started in 2010. The goal was to maximize the use of tax dollars because officials realized residents would not put up with raised property taxes. They identified 40 commonly outsourced municipal services or commodities.

In the first year, Glenview partnered with several municipalities in the northern suburbs for 11 joint bids from contractors to get reduced rates on things such as rock salt, tree trimming and crack sealing.

Six core municipalities emerged and many often see price cuts of 20 to 25 percent over previous years when they come together to use joint bids and share services, D’Agostino said. The list of services has grown to include joint bids on things such as IT services, inspections, uniform purchases and snow plow parts.

Officials from the City of Morris and Coal City, as well business leaders and more, were in attendance.

JOLIET – Another attempt is in the works to develop an old quarry site on Route 6 and Empress Road in Joliet, where deep bedrock and the land’s contour has foiled past development efforts.

A new obstacle may have arisen, however: resistance to more truck traffic.

Kyle Schuhmacher with Ketone Partners presented last week a proposal to build 1.2 million square feet of industrial space with access to a barge-loading facility on the Des Plaines River.

Schuhmacher acknowledged when he introduced his plan to the Joliet City Council Land Use and Legislative Committee that the site has proved difficult to develop.

But he said the market for industrial sites with access to barges could make a difference this time, although he acknowledged the site would produce some truck traffic, which was a bigger concern to Councilwoman Jan Quillman.

“I’m just tired of the trucks,” Quillman said, who said the proposal should go to the full council for consideration.

James Haller, the city’s

director of community and economic development, said the site has been difficult to develop because of deep bedrock and because the slope of the land as it declines to the Des Plaines River.

One previous developer proposed blasting out the site and leveling the land but never moved forward, Haller said.

Joliet attorney Thomas Osterberger, representing Ketone, said this proposal would not generate as many trucks as the last development plan for the site approved by the city, which proposed 2.8 million square feet of industrial space.

He also noted the site is less than a mile from Interstate 80. But Quillman commented that I-80 is congested with traffic now in mid-afternoon.

John Greuling, chief executive officer for the Will County Center for Economic Development, said at the meeting the development would have “minimal impact on I-80” and the barge terminal would offer an alternative to trucks.

“We’ve had a lot of inquiries about barge terminals along the river,” he said.

“That’s good news because that takes trucks off the road.”

Two horses killed in accident

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County Sheriff deputies were called Friday night to the scene of an accident involving a Dodge Dakota and several horses.

Grundy County Sheriff’s Sgt. Paul Clampitt said the vehicle driven by Logan Rehberg, 23, of Newark was on Lisbon Road when it struck at least two horses.

According to the police report, the owner of the horses,

whose name was not immediately available, said there were holes in the fence where the horses were and that is how they are believed to have escaped after being spooked.

The two horses struck by the vehicle died and were removed from the scene.

The other horse was captured unharmed by the owner and moved to another barn.

Clampitt said there were no injuries to the driver or his passengers, and no tickets were issued at the scene.

Village Engineer Will Nash told the board that with the proposed changes to Schoolhouse Road he did not anticipate any serious traffic issues on a Sunday morning, even with a future development of the residential area.

Once commercial development proposals come to the board, the village would need to require that another outlet be constructed from the northern property, which would connect to Laraway Road, Nash said.

Board members are set to discuss the proposal again at the Nov. 9 meeting, with the measure expected to be voted on Nov. 23.

NEW LENOX – The New Lenox Board continued this week to discuss annexation, rezoning and special-use requests

by H & K Partnership to build a 30,000-acre Parkview Christian Church on a portion of the 80-acre Deer Point South lot located at Laraway and Schoolhouse roads.

The church would be built on eight acres in the middle portion of the land parcel that is zoned for commercial use in the north and residential use in the south.

An annexation agreement for Deer Point South – which

was approved in 2005 but has yet to be developed – would be amended to reflect 65 instead of 69 single unit lots in the residential portion.

The church would be across from the entrance of the Sky Harbor subdivision on Schoolhouse Road. Sky Harbor residents expressed concerns at a previous meeting regarding possible high traffic congestion since the subdivision has only one exit and entrance on Schoolhouse Road.

Parkview’s Executive Pastor Bill Brown told the board during its meeting Monday that the church would have a maximum capacity of 615 seats and would not be expanded in

Former U.S. Rep. Gus Savage dies at age 90 The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Gus Savage, a civil rights activist and journalist who represented a South Side Chicago district for 12 years in the U.S. House, died Saturday, a day after celebrating his 90th birthday.

His son, Thomas Savage, told The Associated Press the former Democratic congressman celebrated his birthday on Friday with family and friends.

He went to sleep and was found unresponsive in his bed Saturday morning.

Born in Detroit, Savage moved to Chicago with his family when he was age 5. Savage

served in a segregated unit of the U.S. Army during World War II. He founded Citizen Newspapers, which became the largest black-owned chain of weekly community newspapers in the Midwest. He sold the newspaper chain in 1980 and was elected that year to represent Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District until January 1993.

A major achievement during his time in Congress was passage of a measure requiring the U.S. Defense Department to set aside lucrative military procurement contracts for minority-owned businesses, according to the U.S.

House website.

“He never wavered in the fight for fairness and justice, no matter the foe or the arena,” his son said.

Savage’s record was marred by an ethics investigation in 1989, during which he was accused of sexual misconduct involving a Peace Corps volunteer while he was on an official visit to Zaire, the House website said. The subsequent public report condemned his behavior but did not recommend punishment, citing Savage’s effort to apologize to the volunteer. Savage lost the Democratic primary in 1992 to Mel Reynolds.

Chicago. Bob had a long and successful career in finance. He was a CPA, and was a former CFO of Great Lakes International in Oak Brook, IL. Bob was active in the community, serving as a trustee for the Village of Hinsdale, the Hinsdale Police Pension Board and the Oak Brook Bank Board of Trustees. Bob was a member of the Union Church of Hinsdale and was an active resident and volunteer at Carillon in Plainfield. He enjoyed golfing and was known affectionately as “Chef Bob” for his culinary talents.

Visitation Sunday, November 8, 2015, from 2:00 until 6:00 PM at Overman-Jones Funeral Home, 15219 S. Joliet Rd., Plainfield. Funeral Services will be held Monday, November 9, at 10:00 AM in the funeral home. Private family interment will be at Bronswood Cemetery, Oak Brook, IL.

Al Molinaro, drive-in owner in ‘Happy Days,’ dies at 96

By LYNN ELBER The Associated Press GLENDALE, Calif. – Al Molinaro, the lovable character actor with the hangdog face who was known to millions for playing Murray the cop on “The Odd Couple” and malt shop owner Al Delvecchio on “Happy Days,” died Friday at Verdugo Hills Hospital in Glendale, California, his son Michael Molinaro said.

Molinaro died of complications of gallstone problems, his son said. He was 96.

The Kenosha, Wisconsin, native was a journeyman performer well into middle age when a comedy improv class led to his breakthrough. Producer Garry Marshall heard about Molinaro and hired him for the part of police Offi-

cer Murray Greshler on “The Odd Couple,” the TV version of Neil Simon’s play about feuding roommates.

“The Odd Couple” ran from 1970-75 and not only demonstrated Molinaro’s knack for goofiness, but exploited his most distinctive feature – his plus-sized nose.

In one defining scene, Murray attempts to enter his friends’ apartment, but the door is locked. Murray instead sticks his nose through a peephole.

His next long-running role was that of Al Delvecchio in “Happy Days,” the 1974-1984 nostalgic sitcom about 1950s life that starred Ron Howard and Henry Winkler. Molinaro joined the cast in 1976, replacing Pat Morita as the owner of Arnold’s Drive-In, and remained until 1982.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Storms lash Texas; death toll rises to 6

HOUSTON – The death toll rose to six in Texas as more bodies were recovered on Saturday after another band of strong storms and heavy rain spawned three tornadoes and dangerous flooding in the waterlogged state.

It was the second day of turbulent weather in Texas, where at least four people died Friday in flood waters in central Texas. The storms and suspected tornadoes, which forecasters say were caused by an upper-level disturbance from Mexico, socked an already-sodden swath of Texas that was still drying out from the remnants of Hurricane Patricia.

Houston police discovered two bodies that are believed to be weather-related deaths, one in a flooded ditch and another in a wooded area where there had been high water, according to city spokesman Michael Walter.

Police say gunman kills 3 in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – A man marching down the street shot and killed three people on Saturday, before being fatally shot in a gunbattle with police, authorities and witnesses said.

Officers were responding to a report of shots being fired when they spotted a suspect matching the description of the person they were trying to find, Colorado Springs police Lt. Catherine Buckley said. The suspect opened fire, and police fired back, she said.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the suspect went down the street with a rifle.

Matt Abshire, 21, told the Colorado Springs Gazette he looked outside his apartment window and saw a man shoot someone with a rifle. He said he ran to the street and followed the man and called police.

The man suddenly turned and fired more shots, hitting two women, Abshire said. Their names and conditions were not available.

It was unclear how many people were wounded in the spree.

Clashes at local polls leaves 11 dead in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD – A police officer says armed clashes between supporters of two political parties have left 11 people dead and dozens injured in southern Pakistan.

Pir Mohammad Shah said the clashes broke out in the suburbs of Khairpur town on Saturday during the first phase of voting for local government positions.

Shah said 25 people from both sides were injured in the clash.

He says army troops have been called in to control the situation.

Saturday was the first phase of a three-phase election in southern Pakistan’s Sindh province and Punjab province in the country’s east. Remaining phases will be held later this month and next month. Clashes between political opponents are not uncommon in Pakistan.

Bush-Rubio rivalry intensifies as Iowa caucuses draw closer

By THOMAS BEAUMONT and CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – Neither Jeb Bush nor Marco Rubio emphasized the need to do well in Iowa in the early months of the 2016 presidential campaign. But that’s changed as their rivalry intensifies and pressure mounts to emerge from the Feb. 1 caucuses as the favorite among mainstream conservatives.

Neither has visited Iowa as often as more socially conservative candidates such as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, and both lack the star power of rivals billionaire Donald Trump and newcomer Ben Carson.

But the key, unveiled by Bush in a donor conference and reinforced after Wednesday’s debate, is how they fare against each other, and Iowa is the first test.

“They’re competing for the same segment of Iowa Republicans,” said former state party chairman Matt Strawn, who said that vote still “absolutely is up for grabs.”

As a result, they are add-

ing resources in the state and spending more time courting voters.

Bush and Rubio were among 10 presidential candidates to appear at the Iowa Republican Party’s Growth and Opportunity forum, a tailgate-themed festival at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, and the last multicandidate event before the caucuses.

Bush, a former Florida governor, was seen as a potential front-runner based on his early fundraising success. But he has failed to catch fire since this summer.

Meanwhile, the younger Rubio has called for a new generation of leaders but has struggled to grab the national limelight.

But at the Des Moines forum on Saturday, Rubio tried to capitalize on a strong showing at Wednesday night’s national debate and an increasing curiosity about him.

Rubio told more than 1,000 Iowa GOP faithful that the nation is on the wrong path and assured them there “is a road that will allow us to be

the freest and will allow us to leave our children better off,” he said. “To do that we must turn the page, and allow new leaders and new principles.”

The jab at Bush, the 62-yearold son and brother of former presidents, is more subtle than Bush’s now outright battle with Rubio for missing Senate votes while campaigning for the White House, a criticism Bush raised during Wednesday’s debate.

On Saturday, Bush again mentioned Rubio’s Senate attendance, with an Iowa twist: “If you’re elected to serve, you should do what Chuck Grassley does: You should show up to vote,” Bush said, referring to Iowa’s senior senator.

To date, the better-funded Bush has invested more and earlier in a political organization, with at least 10 staffers in the state, as well as having as a senior national adviser David Kochel, a veteran Iowa GOP operative.

Rubio has 30 people working across the first four nominating states – Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

EGYPT

By BRIAN ROHAN and HAMZA HENDAWI The Associated Press

• Sunday, November 1, 2015

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt – A Russian passenger airliner crashed Saturday in a remote mountainous part of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula 23 minutes after taking off from a popular Red Sea resort, killing all 224 people on board, including 25 children.

The cause of the crash was not known, but two major European airlines announced they would stop flying over the area for safety reasons after a local affiliate of the extremist Islamic State group claimed it “brought down” the aircraft. Russia’s transport minister dismissed that claim as not credible.

Almost everyone on board the Airbus-A321-200 operated by the Moscow-based Metrojet airline was Russian; Ukraine said four of its citizens were passengers. Russian officials did not give a specific breakdown of the 217 passengers’ ages and genders, but said 25 were children. There were seven crew members.

A civil aviation ministry statement said the plane’s wreckage was found in the Hassana area some 44 miles south of the city of el-Arish, in the general area of northern Sinai where Egyptian security forces have for years battled local Islamic militants who in recent months claimed allegiance to the Islamic State group.

The ministry said the plane took off from the resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh shortly before 6 a.m. for St. Petersburg in Russia and disappeared from radar screens 23 minutes after takeoff. Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail toured the crash site and later told a Cairo news conference that 129 bodies had been recovered.

Photos from the site released by his office showed the badly damaged sky blue tail of the aircraft, with the Metrojet logo still visible.

In the background, heaps of smoldering debris dotted the barren terrain.

In this image released by the prime minister’s office, Sherif Ismail (third right), along with military and government officials, tour the site where a passenger plane crashed Saturday in Hassana Egypt. A Russian aircraft carrying 224 people, including 25 children, crashed Saturday in a remote mountainous region in the Sinai Peninsula about 20 minutes after taking off from a Red Sea resort popular with Russian tourists, the Egyptian government said. There were no survivors. ber of the search team holding the flight recorder, or black box, which Ismail said would be scrutinized as investigators try to determine what caused the crash. Russian investigators were expected to arrive in Egypt on Sunday.

Natalya Trukhacheva, identified as the wife of co-pilot Sergei Trukachev, said in an interview with Russian state-controlled NTV that her husband had complained about the plane’s condition.

She said a daughter “called him up before he flew out. He complained before the flight that the technical condition of the aircraft left much to be desired.”

One Egyptian official, Ayman al-Muqadem of the government’s Aviation Incidents Committee, said before the plane lost contact with air traffic controllers, the pilot had radioed and said the air-

craft was experiencing technical problems and that he intended to try and land at the nearest airport.

It was impossible to independently confirm whether technical problems were to blame, and no other Egyptian official repeated the claim on Saturday.

In a statement on its website, Metrojet said the A321200 aircraft was in good shape and that the pilot was experienced. It identified the captain as Valery Nemov and said he had 12,000 hours of flying experience, including 3,860 in A321s.

Russian Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov said officials from Moscow and Cairo were in touch over the incident. The Egyptian officials, he said, had not confirmed the claim by Islamic State militants who said they “brought down a Russian plane over Si-

nai state with more than 220 Russian crusaders on board.”

The militant group did not provide any evidence to back up its claim.

“Based on our contacts with the Egyptian side, the information that the airplane was shot down must not be considered reliable,” Sokolov said, according to a report by the Interfax news agency.

An English-language statement issued by the office of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi spoke of Russian leader Vladimir Putin commending the efforts made by authorities in Egypt “to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident.”

Militants in northern Sinai have not to date shot down commercial airliners or fighter jets. There have been media reports that they have acquired Russian shoulder-fired, anti-aircraft

missiles. But these types of missiles can only be effective against low-flying aircraft or helicopters. The Russian airliner was cruising at 31,000 feet when it lost contact with air traffic controllers, according to Egyptian aviation officials.

In January 2014, Sinai-based militants claimed to have shot down a military helicopter; Egyptian officials at the time acknowledged the helicopter had crashed, but gave no reason.

But two major European airlines – Germany’s Lufthansa and Air France – were not taking any chances. Both announced Saturday they would immediately stop flying over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula for safety reasons until the cause of the crash was determined.

Their aircraft would take alternate routes to reach destinations in the region.

Lawmakers hope for calm after the storm on Capitol Hill

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – With a new speaker in the House and a major budget-and-debt deal completed, lawmakers hope they are entering a welcome period of calm – even boredom – on Capitol Hill.

“I hope it means that there will be more bipartisan cooperation,” said Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., “that we won’t have the brinksmanship, and the cliffs, and the drama, and the uncertainty.”

But some things haven’t changed.

The three dozen or so conservative hard-liners in the House who pushed out former Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, haven’t gone anywhere. Even though most of them ended up supporting newly elected Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., they served notice that they will be watching closely to make sure he delivers on promises of a more inclusive legislative process.

And the budget-and-debt deal approved by Congress this past week does not take all fiscal clashes off the table.

It raises the government’s borrowing limit through March of 2017, forestalling a market-rupturing default in early November and putting off future debt ceiling debates until there’s a new president. It also sets federal budget levels for 2016 and 2017, committing lawmakers to bottom-line spending levels for the next two years.

But members of Congress still must fill in the details for each of those budget years, and they have until Dec. 11 to pass a package of spending bills for 2016. It’s an exercise that’s ripe for conflict.

Any number of policy fights could flare on the must-pass legislation, including renewed demands from conservatives to strip money for Planned Parenthood. That’s the issue that precipitated Boehner’s resignation when hard-liners rebelled because he didn’t push the fight to the point of possible government shutdown. It could threat-

en a shutdown again.

As the Feb. 1 presidential caucuses in Iowa approach, the 2016 candidates in the Senate, including Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida, could seize on the spending debate to stage fights on one issue or another. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., eager to hang onto his slim majority and protect vulnerable GOP senators up for re-election in politically divided states such as New Hampshire and Illinois, is not interested in any more conflict.

Majority Republicans are trying to play down the possibility of unrest around the spending process, given that the bottom-line numbers have been set and policy fights are a regular feature of negotiations on spending bills. “It is the chairman’s expectation that we will have funding legislation that can pass the House and Senate and be signed into law,” said Jennifer Hing, spokeswoman for Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

Democrats, who say they tried but failed to get a deal limiting the policy add-ons as part of the budget agreement just agreed to, are more wary.

“We are not out of the woods,” said Rep. Nita Lowey of New York, top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee. “We still need to enact a $1.1 trillion spending package including hundreds of controversial funding and policy issues. It will be a heavy lift and we need to be up to the task.”

President Barack Obama warned Congress on Friday about “getting sidetracked by ideological provisions that have no place in America’s budget process.” Other business awaiting action includes completing a multiyear transportation bill, which may include a provision reviving the federal Export-Import Bank, an agency that makes loans to help foreign customers buy U.S. goods. The bank, opposed by conservatives, was allowed to expire this year.

Deathbed and breakfast: 2 win Halloween night in Paris Catacombs The Associated Press PARIS – This Halloween, two brave souls will get the dubious honor of waking up among 6 million dead bodies in Paris’ creepy Catacombs.

Brazilian Pedro Arruda, 27, said he wasn’t sure if he was lucky or unlucky when he found out he had won a contest sponsored by home-sharing company Airbnb to spend the night 65 feet underground.

Visitors to Paris can tour the dark, 200-mile underground labyrinth (although the website warns the tour is unsuitable for “people with heart or respiratory problems, those of a nervous disposition and young children”) but they don’t generally get to stay the night.

Arruda, who is taking his 64-year-old mother for company, doesn’t fear the millions of dead roommates. The words “Halt, this is the realm of Death” loom above the entrance, as narrow passages and dark mazes open up into Gothic arrangements of stacked bones.

Bodies were transferred there starting in the late 1700s after Paris’ public graveyards were closed because of health fears.

“I’d be much more scared if they were alive,” he said.

The prize includes a double bed in a candle-lit stone chamber and dinner, as well as a violin concert and a storyteller to get them in the Halloween spirit. Airbnb struck a deal with Paris City Hall to donate 300,000 euros ($331,000) in exchange for using the Catacombs for the night.

Arruda describes himself as a “history nerd” and said he relishes the idea of waking

up in a site that houses the remains of great men such as writers Francois Rabelais and Jean de la Fontaine as well as the feared revolutionary

Georges Danton, who was guillotined.

The one drawback to sleeping in a chamber equipped for the dead? There is no toilet.

Skulls and bones are stacked at the Catacombs in Paris, France.

The subterranean tunnels, which once gave refuge to smugglers and saints, cradle the bones of some 6 million Parisians from centuries past. The Catacombs form a dark, 200-mile underground labyrinth beneath the City of Light.

Black women having tough year with policing issues too

By JESSE J. HOLLAND The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Black men are not alone when it comes to difficult relations with the police. Black women are having a tough time, too.

From the schoolgirl who was slammed to the floor in a South Carolina classroom to the mysterious death of Sandra Bland inside a Texas jail cell, videos showing black women being manhandled by police are bringing their problems to the forefront at a time when Americans’ attention has been focused primarily on the relationship between black men and law enforcement.

Civil rights groups and organizations representing women say closer attention must be paid to what’s happening between police and women of color, despite the ongoing fight over incidents of police brutality against black men.

“We cannot continue to wait for something to show up on a video to ask for change,” said Melanie Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and convener of the Black

Women’s Roundtable Public Policy Network.

Earlier this week, South Carolina deputy sheriff Ben Fields was fired after flipping a black girl out of her desk and tossing her across the floor for disrupting her math class at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, South Carolina.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott called Fields’ actions “unacceptable,” and said videos recorded by her classmates show the girl posed no danger to anyone.

The FBI is investigating whether the student’s civil rights were violated, and school district officials are promising to review how police are used for discipline. The student and another black female student who verbally challenged the officer’s actions during the arrest still face misdemeanor charges of disturbing schools, punishable by up to a $1,000 fine or 90 days in jail, Lott said.

According to a 2015 report by the African American Policy Forum and Columbia Law School’s Center for Intersectional and Social Policy Studies, black girls were suspended from school six times as often

“We cannot continue to wait for something to show up on a video to ask for change.”

Melanie Campbell President and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and convener of the Black Women’s Roundtable Public Policy Network as their white counterparts, and 12 percent of black girls were subjected to exclusionary suspensions in comparison to only 2 percent of white females.

Outside of school, black women are also vulnerable to prison time. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 50 percent of America’s female prison population is white and 21 percent is black, and black females are between 1.6 and 4.1 times more likely to be imprisoned than white females.

“We are seeing increasingly more cases where black girls and women are being subjected to abuse and over enforcement.

We must start placing more attention on the plight of females in the criminal justice system,” Elsie Scott, founding director of the Ronald W. Walters Leadership and Public Policy Center at Howard University, said in a statement.

A Health Savings Account Makes It Easy To Save For Health Related Expenses

The South Carolina case wasn’t the first time a black woman’s confrontation with police has made headlines.

In June, a 7-minute video showed McKinney, Texas, Police Cpl. David Eric Casebolt push a bikini-clad black girl to the ground, then brandish his gun at other black teens, after officers responded to complaints about the pool party at a community-owned McKinney swimming pool. Casebolt subsequently resigned from the police force.

An investigation into his conduct by the Texas Rangers is still ongoing, said criminal defense lawyer Darrell Jordan, who is representing some of the families whose children were involved in that incident.

Protests erupted in Ann Arbor, Michigan, last year over the death of Aura Rosser, 40, who was tasered by one officer

and shot by another. Officers said Rosser had a kitchen knife and moved toward them after a domestic dispute in her home.

They were not charged.

Rosser suffered from mental illness, and had not been taking her medication, officials said.

They also found illegal drugs and alcohol in her system. But advocates have questioned why police could not handle her without causing her death.

Police also were not charged after Natasha McKenna, 37, died in February, several days after struggling with Virginia deputies who tried to transfer her to another jail. The naked, mentally ill McKenna was shocked four times with a stun gun by five deputies in biohazard suits before she lost consciousness. Prosecutors did not file charges, calling McKenna’s death a “tragic accident.”

The case remains the subject of a federal civil rights investigation.

Police brutality doesn’t just happen to black men, said Jordan, who also serves on a committee of lawyers appointed by the district attorney reviewing evidence in Sandra Bland’s death.

Social Security on thin ice Dear Mr. Berko: Both my wife and I are 53. I earn over $105,000 as a diesel mechanic, and she earns $67,000 editing children’s books for several publishers. We have only $77,000 in two individual retirement accounts.

We are putting three children through college and grad school while making car payments, making mortgage payments, paying real estate taxes and paying a fortune for health, auto, home and life insurance. After taxes and partially supporting two ailing parents, there’s little left to save for retirement. And the stability of Social Security is a very scary concern for us.

By the time we’re 67, we will have paid over $600,000 into Social Security. We’d rather have that in our pockets. We often hear Social Security is going broke, and it’s hard to disagree.

This frightens us because we are depending on the projected income to retire without being a burden to our children. Please tell us in simple English why Social Security is in trouble. Can it be fixed without raising taxes or the retirement age again? – RS, Port Charlotte, Fla. Dear RS: It can’t be fixed

without raising taxes and the retirement age; therefore, Congress is seriously discussing a means test for Social Security. Today you can expect about 70 percent of your future monthly benefits.

I remember listening to my parents and their friends in the 1950s arguing that Social Security was a communist conspiracy to control the American worker and, by extension, the economy.

There were heated words and name-calling that exceeded the boundaries of respect. SS was proposed by Franklin D. Roosevelt as a contract between the government and workers. But at some point during the mid-1960s, it segued into an entitlement.

However, both protagonists and antagonists were correct. SS has been a blessing, a life raft and a safety net for many of the 39 million

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko of our nation’s retirees. But Congress can’t keep its sticky fingers from the honey pot. It extended benefits to 21 million more Americans to purchase their votes. Today the Social Security Administration pays billions for disability assistance, food and nutrition assistance, needy family assistance, housing assistance and low-income energy programs.

The SSA also pays benefits to drug addicts and alcoholics who can’t work, as well as immigrants who are here illegally and figured out how easy it is to game the system.

Those 21 million nonretirees cost Social Security an extra $263 billion last year.

Therefore, Social Security’s balance sheet, once triple-A, is barely triple-C-minus because Congress won’t stop selling benefits for votes.

So though Social Security was conceived as a safety net for retirees who are unable to accumulate enough money to support themselves, since 2009, the SSA hasn’t collected enough taxes to cover the needs of those nonretirees.

The SSA covers the shortfall by using interest it has collected on bonds held in its trust fund. But by 2018, the SSA will begin liquidating those Treasurys. And between 2030 and 2033, the final tranche that will have been accumulating for decades will have to be sold to pay benefits. Though there won’t be any bonds remaining, the SSA will continue collecting payroll taxes from those in the workforce.

Those taxes should be enough to cover 67 to 72 percent of your benefits, providing Congress keeps its gloppy fingers out of that cookie jar and providing Medicaid and Medicare won’t be raided to assist Syrian refugees.

Community Foundation lauds Chamber Education Committee The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – The Community Foundation of Will County celebrated with donors, board members and attendees at the Annual Donor Recognition & Celebration of “Community” Philanthropy held in July and hosted by Lewis University.

The Community Foundation annually honors exceptional donors who use philanthropy in a way that provides an example and a model for others, according to a news release sent in October by the foundation.

This year the Education Committee and members of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry were honored for their collaborative efforts to provide incentive scholarships for college to fourth- through eighth-grade students throughout the Joliet region.

District 86 Superintendent Charles Coleman had a vision several years ago to offer the promise of a scholarship to young students as an incentive to pursue their education.

Coleman shared his vision with Russ Slinkard of the Chamber; Slinkard in turn reached out to Michael Trench, executive director of The Community Foundation, for ideas on how to

OUR VIEW

Finally, a state budget meeting If the reports are to be believed, Gov. Bruce Rauner and legislative leaders plan to meet Nov. 18 to discuss the state budget impasse.

In the past, such high-level meetings to negotiate issues of statewide importance would not be considered out of the ordinary.

That was when leaders in the Executive Mansion, House and Senate were all from one party. For the dozen years between 2003 and the first of this year, Democrats controlled all three entities.

However, the defeat last year of Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn by Republican Bruce Rauner, who took office in January with an aggressive “turnaround agenda” as his top priority, made those high-level confabs much less frequent.

In fact, this will be the first combined meeting this fiscal year, which began July 1, for the governor, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, both Democrats, and Republican minority leaders, state Rep. Jim Durkin and state Sen. Christine Radogno.

Nov. 18, the day they plan to meet, will be the 141st day of the fiscal year without a state budget in place.

As the list grew of negatively impacted agencies, vendors, departments and services, those leaders felt little sense of urgency to negotiate, apparently, in the wake of Rauner’s veto of most of the Democratic-approved budget.

As a result, state government – with all of its well-documented financial troubles

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

– is in a correspondingly weaker condition.

But a lot of water has passed under the bridge since those balmy days right before the Fourth of July. When Rauner and the legislative leaders meet on a blustery Nov. 18, they’ll be just eight days away from Thanksgiving!

Afterward, will Illinoisans have cause to give thanks?

We hope so.

The time has surely come to govern, and to find common ground, and to get a budget approved.

The 19th-century favorite saying of one of the early powerful speakers of the U.S. House, Thomas Reed, was, “The best system is to have one party govern and the other party watch.” Some recipe for bipartisanship!

Well, that’s the way it’s been for majority Democrats for years. They still insist that Rauner agree to higher taxes to close the budget deficit, and that the governor separate his “turnaround agenda” from budget considerations.

Rauner, in turn, wants structural reforms in government before agreeing to higher taxes to fix the budget.

Little progress can be expected if Democratic leaders don’t change their way of thinking – and Rauner can’t expect to get everything he wants, either.

In Washington, a two-year budget deal has been announced, with both feuding parties apparently on board.

Four months into the Great Budget Impasse of 2015, that spirit of compromise needs to come to Springfield – the sooner, the better.

Chaos and bashing at debate From the get-go, the CNBC moderators lost control of the third Republican presidential debate to the candidates. And it wasn’t hard.

Sen. Ted Cruz wrested a budget question away from CNBC reporter Carl Quintanilla and turned it on him.

“The questions asked in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media,” Cruz lectured, as the audience erupted with applause.

In what was likely a rehearsed moment, Cruz continued to lambaste the CNBC panel. “This is not a cage match,” he said. More applause.

Then Sen. Cruz showed total genius – pre-planned or not. Under the guise of attacking the moderators for their questions, Cruz

VIEWS Donna Brazile managed to repeat all the unflattering things asked of his opponents: “Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math? John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?

Marco Rubio, why don’t you resign? Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?”

Applause from the audience followed. It didn’t stop there.

Sen. Marco Rubio led off the media bashing earlier, also to applause. “The Democrats have the ultimate super PAC,” he said.

“It’s called the mainstream media.”

And even earlier, Trump

had tweeted, “I am now in Colorado looking forward to what I am sure will be a very unfair debate!” Some complained that CNBC moderators were attempting “gotcha” questions.

Instead, it looks as if the Republicans executed their own thought-out “gotcha” plans. And it worked ... for now.

Before the main debate, there was the so-called “undercard debate.” It’s not clear if anybody won that debate; it’s not clear if anyone really can win it. Face it, the undercard debate looks like the competition they hold for kids during halftime of the Super Bowl. On this undercard debate, social media comments were replete with the word “painful.”

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Angel Guzman Joliet

Business is different than governing To the Editor: In another life, I brokered seven-figure real estate and business deals. I was able to work with people I could trust and turn down people I couldn’t. This experience has taught me much about business people. Some care about their employees and some don’t. The latter fall into the category of those with more money care less. Ego becomes a great deal more important.

How does my experience relate to Illinoisans? Gov. Bruce Rauner seems to fall into the latter. In business, one party

can walk away from a deal if they don’t get their way. When a person becomes governor, they must negotiate to do what is best for the people.

The constitution says the governor must submit a budget to the Legislature.

During the campaign he said many times he would submit an honest budget without tricks. His first budget has lots of tricks that he knew wouldn’t fly. The Supreme Court had already ruled his pension restructuring unconstitutional.

That was an illegal, dishonest budget causing great harm to the people. His ego prevents him from doing the right things for the people. He can’t just walk away as he did in business.

Korean War veterans deserve more credit

To the Editor: What more proof is needed? North Korea is a slave state ruled by a murderous dictator. South Korea is not. Why? Because the armed forces of the United States and its Allies fought and died to prevent that from happening.

So how can it be said that the Korean War ended in a stalemate? No way! Our troops won it. Hands down. Flat out.

Without question.

It’s time to set the record straight.

Credit is long overdue. Our Korean War vets deserve to hold their heads high.

You guys did an awesome job under the worst-imaginable conditions.

‘Victim’ debate mantra backfires with some conservatives • BRAZILE

Continued from page 34 Sen. Lindsey Graham did come away with good marks from most political observers. Mitt Romney even tweeted that Graham deserved to move up to the “big stage.”

Back at the featured debate, the media bashing continued like the execution of a well-rehearsed football play. Both Cruz and Trump offered their opinion that the Democrats had much easier questions. (The difference was that Democrats were asked clear, substantive questions and didn’t sidestep them.)

Reince Priebus, the head of the Republican National Committee, tweeted, “I’m proud of our team for standing up against the improper and unprofessional display put on by CNBC.” Backstage, Bush campaign manager Danny Diaz got into what a Politico reporter described as a “heated confrontation” with a CNBC producer over the debate format and the lack of

speaking time Bush was getting.

Republican commentators were at the ready to reinforce the idea that the media can’t be trusted, which if believed, would give the Republicans the last word on any narrative during the 2016 campaign.

The Republican “victim” mantra did backfire with some. Byron York, chief correspondent for the conservative Washington Examiner, tweeted, “Strong sense in Boulder [that the] debate will be [the] media/CNBC story above all. Words ‘disaster,’ ‘catastrophe’ flying around. Serious blowback for RNC.” There were many who agreed that the moderator’s questions were way too long and winding. Some questions were longer than the answers. It didn’t help that the moderators lost control of the debate from the start.

The candidates ruled throughout – bickering, over-talking, and back-andforth arguing with the moderators. It was close to chaos.

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee, in his closing remarks, took his own slap at CNBC. As for the network itself, a

spokesman issued a one-line retort: “People who want to be president of the United States should be able to answer tough questions.”

With less than 95 days before the Iowa caucuses, this debate proved once again that some of the candidates are destined to win, and some are simply going to hobble by until the voters put them out of contention.

Next to Cruz, Rubio was a star performer. He took on Bush’s witty criticism of Rubio’s poor attendance record in the Senate, suggesting he was practicing a French three-day workweek. But, Rubio had a commanding comeback, “I don’t remember you ever complaining about John McCain’s vote record, and the only reason you’re complaining about mine,” Rubio asserted, was because a Bush strategist suggested attacking him.

Gov. Chris Christie appears ready for his moment, if it ever comes. He scored, or roared, by playing off a Bush reference to fantasy football as inappropriate, given all the problems that could be discussed, and bawling

out a moderator for interrupting him.

As for Bush, it was not a good night. He offered to give “a warm kiss” to any Democrat who will cut spending by $10. Somehow I don’t think that was a phrase he really wanted to work in there.

Trump and Carson, the current front-runners, were content to hold their own and not risk their leads in the polls. Carly Fiorina garnered moments before the cameras, but said nothing that people were repeating in the “spin room.”

The takeaway is this: If you’re looking for a presidential candidate who will relentlessly attack the media, you’ve got plenty of choices among the Republicans. The next media thrashing is scheduled for Nov. 10 in Milwaukee. Bring your own popcorn.

To the Editor: A 50-page plan was recently unveiled revitalizing downtown Joliet. It took a deep look at the current state of downtown, the possible future, and an illustration from a 1921 riverfront plan.

The future can be bright for downtown Joliet and it’s time to get to work.

Along the Des Plaines River there is Bicentennial Park, Harrah’s Casino, City Hall, and the Police Department. The river is an asset being ignored and that can change. The city of Joliet has no problem bringing in people with the many downtown events but what if there was a way to bring in more people and keep them coming? Like Chicago, we can have a water taxi too. It can come as far as Ottawa traveling northeast along the Des Plaines River making stops at Marseilles, Morris, Channahon, Hollywood Casino/ Splash Station, and ending in downtown Joliet just north of Harrah’s Casino. This is a great way of increasing traffic with limited congestion and our neighboring towns become partners in our success.

Joliet Junior College recently built a new building on Chicago Street and before it opens we need to prepare for the influx of new students. The parking lot of Benton/Chicago would be ideal for a parking garage. The boarded-up building

on Eastern/Cass should be developed into quality housing along with the rest of the apartments on Cass Street downtown. The building on Chicago Street and Cass across from Juliet’s can become housing with a gym, a coffee shop, a restaurant, and/or retail. Near the Transportation Center when completed we should try and attract Nike and Adidas to open a store along with bars and restaurants in front of the Joliet Slammers creating a Sports District.

It’s time for a new and improved downtown Joliet.

FOOTBALL – CLASS 5A FIRST ROUND: JOLIET CATHOLIC 48, VERNON HILLS 29

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 1, 2015

JOLIET – Opposing offenses have felt the urge to throw in the direction of Joliet Catholic’s 5-foot-9, 170-pound senior cornerback Riley O’Donnell.

However, what transpired in the Hilltoppers’ 48-29 victory Friday night over Vernon Hills in the opening round of the Class 5A state playoffs at ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium might change their thinking.

O’Donnell made his first two interceptions of the season after having a potential pick slip off his fingertips. He also swiped the ball from the Cougars’ Kiwanne Durant after a third-quarter reception and returned it a few yards to set up a touchdown.

Both interceptions, including one in the end zone late in the first half, also were turned into points by JCA’s explosive offense.

“All season I’ve been so close to making plays,” O’Donnell said. “Our coaches gave us a chance today. They put us in good position to make plays. I’m excited about how this worked out. It was our first playoff game and we knew it could be our last.”

“Pound for pound, he is one of the toughest guys on the team,” Hilltoppers coach Dan Sharp said of O’Donnell.

“He battles and battles. He is just a menace.”

JCA (9-1) did not start well or finish well. In between, however, the Hilltoppers were dynamite as they advanced for a second-round rematch with Marian Central, which will kick off at 1 p.m.

Saturday at Memorial Stadium. JCA won the midseason meeting, 41-3, after leading 7-3 at halftime.

The Hilltoppers’ offense piled up 270 yards and scored 28 points in the second quarter alone against Vernon Hills (6-4). Quarterback Cade Earl threw all of his passes in the first half and completed 9 of 14 for 202 yards and a touchdown, an 11-yard strike to Ke’Von Johnson. He was intercepted once.

O’Brien’s catches keyed a drive that put JCA up 6-0 early, but the Cougars took a 7-6 lead midway through the first quarter and would have gone ahead by more if not for defensive back Nick Sandora.

Vernon Hills’ Chris Mariella had his hands on a pass in the end zone on a fourth-and-7 play from the 13, but Sandora came in from behind, ripped it away and knocked it to the ground.

“That was one heck of a play on Nick’s part,” O’Donnell said.

With so much of JCA’s offensive production coming in the second quarter, the Hilltoppers erased their 7-6 deficit and grabbed a 34-7 halftime lead. The running clock was on after Davis scored his touchdown to make it 48-7 with 3:51 left in the third

quarter.

Vernon Hills quarterback Connor McNamara completed his last 17 passes, though many were against second-team defenders in the fourth quarter, and finished 35 of 54 for 298 yards.

The Cougars made the final score more respectable thanks in part to recovering two consecutive onside kicks in the fourth quarter, their second and third such recoveries on the night.

“Our defense got turnovers [in addition to O’Donnell’s thievery, the defensive ends collaborated on a takeaway as Zach Lukasik forced a fumble on a sack and Luke Mander recovered] and a lot of what happened at the end was when we were subbing,” Sharp said. “Still, those guys have to come in and show they can play, too. We just wanted to finish better than we did.”

Lincoln-Way East’s Brody Bolsoni gets past Jacobs Sean Barnes to score a touchdown during the first half of Friday’s Class 7A first-round game in Frankfort. Lincoln-Way East claimed a 40-6 victory to advance to the second round.

FOOTBALL – CLASS 7A FIRST ROUND: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 40, JACOBS 6

Lincoln-Way East defense shuts down Jacobs

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – A smothering defense and an efficient offense both were on display for Lincoln-Way East in its Class 7A playoff opener Friday against Jacobs.

The Griffins limited the Golden Eagles to no rushing yards and just 142 total yards while forcing four turnovers.

They also collected five touchdowns on offense to help them roll to a 40-6 victory.

“They made a big play early that got us down, but our kids didn’t flinch and I’m proud of how our guys responded to take the lead,” East coach Rob Zvonar said. “It was kind of a methodical thing, but it was effective and it was what we needed to do.

“It’s always good when a defense responds to some adversity, and I thought that

the offense was excellent by scoring five touchdowns. If we can get that kind of effort and keep improving, hopefully, we can keep playing football. We know that next week will be a heck of a football game, but we think we’re where we need to be going into a tremendous battle.”

With the victory, the Griffins (8-2) move on to the second-round game at Libertyville (10-0), which captured a 56-24 win over Downers Grove North on Friday.

Jacobs (7-3) gained no yards on 22 carries with nine of its attempts resulting in negative yardage. Ben Christensen was in on three sacks while Sean Maloney, Kyle Werniak, Jayison McCorkle and Peyton Nigro all picked off passes for the Griffins (8-2).

“Defensively, I think all three phases played well,” Christensen said. “Our D-line

stepped up, our linebackers were rerouting guys and our DBs were in the right spot.

When you have all three things going for you, good plays are going to happen. On the D-line, we want to let the other team know, ‘We’re going to bring pressure at you.’

If you’re going to try to beat us by throwing it, you’re going to have to make some good throws against our pressure.

“I think our defense is good already, but we’re really close to getting there. And our offense is starting to get there, and I think that we’re really starting to mesh as a team.”

Jacobs covered 65 yards on its second series to grab the early lead. The drive was capped when Christopher Katrenick (20 of 32 passing, 142 yards) tossed a 39-yard strike down the left side to Kyle Copeland to make it 6-0 with 7:30 left in the first quarter.

But East responded with a 13-play, 87-yard drive to move in front for good. Brandon Bauer (18 of 29 passing, 190 yards) tossed a 19-yard scoring pass to Brody Bolsoni (nine carries, 43 yards) to give the hosts a 7-6 lead with 3:29 remaining in the opening quarter.

“We knew what our game plan was and stuck to it and executed very well,” Bauer said. “I was very proud of everyone. The line and running backs played great, and our wide receivers were making plays. The sky is the limit for us. We’ve showed a lot of spurts on offense, and our defense is playing great and getting stops left and right.”

In the second quarter, the Griffins scored three times to take a 26-6 halftime lead. Nigel Muhammad ran in from 10 yards out, Bolsoni scored on a 12-yard run and Liam Mor-

rissey (14 carries, 50 yards) added a 6-yard touchdown run as East capitalized on an interception and a bad snap on a punt.

The Griffins completed the scoring in the third quarter with a 5-yard run by Bauer and a 45-yard pick-six by McCorckle. Hunter Smith also hauled in seven passes for 81 yards.

“We studied him [Katrenick] a lot and really keyed in on him,” McCorkle said.

“Our defense is really good so we try to key down on the flag carriers of the other team and do what we can to stop them.

“Life is easy with our D-line. We have a lot of twoyear starters there and that’s what carries us and helps us get the picks. Our defense has so much experience, and our chemistry is amazing. We’ve been together for years and that’s what gives us the edge.”

Marengo quarterback Zach Knobloch hit receiver Jarrell Jackson for an 80-yard score in the first quarter, then hit receiver Craiton Nice for another 80-yard touchdown two minutes later.

The Coalers’ defense stopped some drives in the middle quarters to keep it close.

“We played our best game,” Leasure said. “We put it togeth-

er the best we could tonight.

We came out 100 percent.”

Marengo’s defense was just too unyielding in the second half, while its offense eventually finished drives.

“You have to expect more [from your defense],” Onsen said. “To give up 28 points is too much. You expect to be better. Usually at this time, you say, ‘We have to work on it next week.’ Well, I guess we’re not working on it next week.

That is always a tough time for the seniors.”

FOOTBALL – CLASS 8A FIRST ROUND: NAPERVILLE CENTRAL 14, BOLINGBROOK 7

Joyce, Redhawks slip past Raiders in second half

By DRAKE SKELBA Shaw Media Correspondent NAPERVILLE – After being shut out by the vaunted Bolingbrook defense in the first half, DuPage Valley champion Naperville Central made a pivotal halftime adjustment.

In a Class 8A first-round playoff game Friday night, Naperville quarterback Conor Joyce switched gears. Joyce, who entered with 1,688 yards and 13 touchdown passes, ran for 79 of his game-high 119 yards after the break.

With 6:05 left, he crashed in from the 3 for the game-winning touchdown as the Redhawks slipped past the Raiders, 14-7.

Facing a Bolingbrook threeman defensive front – designed to stifle the air attack – Joyce took advantage of the open middle. Repeatedly, he ripped off huge gains.

Along with running backs Luke Barry and Jeremiah Wiggins, the Redhawks dominated time of possession in the second half. With two minutes to go in the third quarter, Barry scored on a 4-yard run to tie the game at 7. Central (9-1) held the ball for all but 90 seconds of the third quarter.

Bolingbrook struck first late in the first quarter as senior defensive back Trevon Anderson wrestled a pass away from Iowa-bound receiver Emmanuel Rugamba and went 26

yards for a touchdown.

Repeatedly, the Raiders’ defense turned away the Redhawks in Bolingbrook territory. Joyce completed seven of his first 10 passes for 120 yards in the first half. He finished 11 of 20 for 170 yards and two interceptions “We played really hard and it really hurts to lose,” Anderson said. “It felt great to get the pick-six, but again, I wish we would have won.”

With 10 seconds left in the half, Central had the ball inside the Raiders’ 1. On fourthand-goal, defensive linemen Demetrius Crisanto and TJ Lee smothered Wiggins for a 2-yard loss, preserving the 7-0 lead at halftime.

The Raiders ran only 14 plays in the second half. Junior running back Jeremiah Lebron had 58 yards on nine carries, only two carries in the second half. Defensive back Jordan Pringle had an interception in the third quarter and senior linebacker Lucas Warren closed with 10 tackles, two for loss.

With 2:17 left , quarterback Mike Freeze (3 of 11, 51 yards) hit wide receiver Kendall Smith for 39 yards to the Redhawks’ 43. Freeze’s next pass was intercepted and Central ran out the clock.

The All-American career of Bolingbrook linebacker Tuf Borland thus ended. The Ohio State recruit had 17 tackles and

two sacks in his final game.

“This really hurts to lose this game,” Borland said. “We played our butts off. The coaches had us well-prepared and we just fell a little short.”

Bolingbrook (5-5) concluded its 29th playoff season, as the stunning win over No. 1-ranked Homewood-Flossmoor last week extended its playoff streak to 24 consecutive years.

“We played hard and lost to a fine team,” Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow said. “Our defense was outstanding, and we just couldn’t get anything going offensively. I say goodbye to a number outstanding seniors on defense who I will miss.”

MARENGO – Coal City’s spirits were high as kicker Brad Littleton’s 33-yard field goal sailed through the uprights midway through the third quarter.

The No. 15-seeded Coalers trailed powerful No. 2 Marengo by only four points despite the lopsided offensive numbers to that point.

“I was confident we could come back from that,” guard/ defensive tackle Alec Leasure said. “I was confident we could put something together. We could have won this game.”

Marengo, however, had other plans. Its defense put up a wall, while the offense finished two more drives, giving the No. 2 Indians a 28-10 Class 4A playoff victory Friday night at Rod Poppe Fields.

The Indians (10-0) finished with 484 total yards while limiting the Coalers (5-5) to 138.

Coal City managed only one first down in the second half.

Lincoln-Way West’s Cal Pohrte leaps over the pile during the first half of West’s 35-12 Class 5A first-round playoff victory Saturday over Dunlap in New Lenox.

FOOTBALL – CLASS 5A FIRST ROUND: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 35, DUNLAP 12

Pohrte delivers as Lincoln-Way West advances

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way West junior super sub Cal Pohrte, the quarterback with Connor Lowman nursing a shoulder injury, began the second half by making a mistake.

He fumbled the snap on the first play after the kickoff, and Dunlap recovered.

The Eagles capitalized on the break, as Zach Rusk ran 31 yards for a touchdown seconds later to slice West’s lead to 1412. Things were getting a bit nervous for the favored Warriors.

But Pohrte knew what he needed to do. With Dunlap shutting down tailback Gabe Montalvo perhaps better than anyone had previously, Pohrte completed all seven of his second-half passes for 199 yards and three touchdowns as West secured a 35-12 victory in the opening round of the Class 5A

playoffs. For the game, he finished 12 of 17 for 295 yards and those three scores.

“He hadn’t started a varsity game and gave us way more than we could have expected,” said wide receiver Jake Mauney, who caught 80- and 7-yard touchdown passes in the second half to help the Warriors gain breathing room. “He was unbelievable.”

“Cal had a great game,” said receiver Dylan McHale, who caught six passes for 119 yards and the clinching 45yard touchdown while Mauney caught four for 121 yards. “He was confident in practice. We really needed him tonight.”

Pohrte’s effort secured the victory that will send West on a long bus trip. The Warriors (8-2) will visit Troy Triad in Round 2 at 3 p.m. Saturday.

Troy is in the greater St. Louis area.

“He is a linebacker, running back, receiver and quarter-

back, and he does it all well,” West coach Dave Ernst said of Pohrte. “He is a high character kid. I’m not at all surprised with how he played. He made the one mistake is all, on the botched snap.

“We may have some decisions to make,” Ernst added. He said he does not know whether Lowman will be available next week.

West scored on its first possession, as Montalvo broke a 27-yard run up the middle on a fourth-and-2 play. The first of five Kevin Siemeck extra points made it 7-0 with 4:13 left in the first quarter.

Montalvo broke screen passes from Pohrte for 30- and 25yard gains and added a second score on a 6-yard run to give the Warriors a 14-6 lead early in the second quarter. Otherwise, however, the Dunlap defense stifled him. Montalvo finished with 67 yards in 20 carries.

“We knew it would be tough

to run on them unless we wore them down, and that did not happen,” Ernst said. “In the end, our passing game got them. But they are very well coached.”

West had a decent night defensively, and it would have been even better if not for allowing a couple of big plays.

In addition to Rusk’s 31-yard run, Dunlap (6-4) scored on Hunter Mitchell’s 80-yard run that made it 7-6 late in the first quarter.

“Those were a couple of miscommunications,” West defensive end/linebacker Trey Telez said. “Those are easy fixes.”

For most of his night, Telez joined defensive lineman Deven Reed in putting heavy pressure on Eagles quarterback Harlan Mitchell, who completed 6 of 18 passes for 92 yards and rushed for a net of 28 yards in 16 carries.

“He’s a good quarterback,” Telez said. “He moves well and

has good vision.”

Reed made one of the night’s huge defensive plays. With West leading, 21-12, Dunlap was inside the Warriors’ 40 with a fourth-and-3 late in the third quarter. Harlan Mitchell was scrambling for an apparent first down around the right side, and Reed ran him down and stopped him a yard short to turn the ball over. Nine plays later, Pohrte hit Mauney on third-and-goal from the 7 to extend the lead to 28-12.

“That was all our DBs,” Reed said of his big play. “They had everyone covered. The quarterback had to scramble out, and I was able to get him.”

Ernst credited defensive line coach Mike Franta with making an adjustment that made a big difference, “and those two [Telez and Reed] were outstanding defensively,” he said. “Our sophomore corner, Matt Murphy, played real well, too.”

FOOTBALL – CLASS 3A FIRST ROUND: WILMINGTON 55, PEORIA HEIGHTS 13

Wilmington overpowers Peoria Heights

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – There are many adjectives to describe Wilmington’s offense Friday in the Wildcats’ 55-13 win over Peoria Heights in the first round of the Class 3A football playoffs.

Dominant, efficient and explosive came to mind as the Wildcats raced to a 35-7 lead at the end of the first quarter and went on a a 55-7 halftime advantage. But, perhaps the most fitting on the night before Halloween, scary.

As in scary good.

Wilmington (10-0), the defending 3A state champion and owner of a 24-game winning streak, scored on all eight of its first-half possessions, rushing for 379 yards before intermission. Owen Weaver and Nick Hawkins each scored three TDs for the Wildcats, who will host Byron – a 42-7 winner over Lisle on Friday – in the second round, while Dustin Kelly also had a TD on the ground. On Wilmington’s one and only pass play, quarterback Jeff Treadman hit Steve Smock with a 59-yard score.

Wilmington’s John Cox recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff and

Hawkins (seven carries, 146 yards) went 31 yards on the first play for a touchdown. Peoria Heights (5-5) answered with a 43-yard TD pass from Blake Begner to Geno Hess to tie the game. Wilmington started the next possession on its own 41, and Weaver (five carries, 193 yards) went 59 yards for a touchdown. Wilmington got the ball back on downs and drove 57 yards on five plays, with Hawkins scoring from 14 yards out.

“The linemen did a great job,” Weaver said of the purple wall of center Cox, guards Robert Van Duyne and Caleb Gougis, tackles Bailey Boswell and Blake Geiss and tight ends Smock and Sam Jones. “As soon as we hit the hole, we would see what else opened up and take it there.

“It’s a great feeling to get that first playoff game out of the way.

It’s a great atmosphere here, and we did what we were supposed to do tonight.”

After a Peoria Heights punt, Weaver took a first-down handoff and went 67 yards for a touchdown.

Another punt followed, and it was Hawkins’ turn again, this time from 60 yards out and the fourth one-play drive from the Wildcats. After an-

other Patriots’ punt, Weaver went 57 yards on the third play for his third TD. Hawkins then intercepted a pass at the one-yard line, and Wilmington went 99 yards in six plays, the last a 59-yard pass play from Treadman to Smock. Kelly capped the Wildcats scoring with a six-yard run with 1:04 to go until halftime.

Peoria Heights scored the lone TD of the second half on a 65-yard fumble return by Jarin Wallace.

“You don’t run the ball like we did without the O-line doing its job,” Wilmington coach Jeff Reents said.

“Nick and Owen are special backs, but when they aren’t getting hit until 10 yards down the field, they can really do some damage and that’s all the offensive line. And, they do a great job of blocking for each other. (Assistant) coach (Barry) Southall just has to figure out who has the hot hand, and tonight, both of them did. That’s a nice problem to have.

“Our defense had a breakdown on the first series, but really buckled down after that and gave the offense the ball in good field position. We know that Byron is a good team and it should be a brawl next week. We’re looking forward to it.”

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Wilmington’s defense brings down Peoria Heights’ Geno Hess during the Wildcats’ 55-13 Class 3A first-round playoff victory Friday in Wilmington.

PARK RIDGE – Two plays do not decide a game.

However, back-to-back plays midway through the third quarter sent Maine South to a 35-20 Class 7A state playoff win Friday over Plainfield North.

No. 22 seed Plainfield North ends the season at 6-4. No. 11 Maine South (8-2) will face No. 6 Normal (9-1) in the second round.

“We had some opportunities we missed on,” Plainfield North Tim Kane said of the Tigers, who were eliminated in the first round for the fifth time in five tries. “You have to capitalize when you get those opportunities against a program like Maine South.”

Trailing 14-7 at the Maine South 31 with seven minutes left in the third quarter, Plainfield North went for a first down on a fourthand-1 play. However, the pass play fell incomplete.

Maine South scored on its next play when quarterback Brian Collis hit Jonathan Arenas on a slant pattern and he went 69 yards for a 21-7 lead.

“That was a killer, no doubt,” Kane said.

“We had a chance to keep our drive going and maybe score. That was a 14-point swing. It came after we stopped them on fourth down, but had a stupid penalty. We have to be smarter than that.”

Plainfield North stopped Maine South on a fourth-down play from the Hawks’ 35. However, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty put the Tigers at midfield.

Maine South led, 28-7, early in the fourth quarter, but the Tigers never quit.

“The way we battled back down by three scores was great,” Kane said. “We moved the ball well, mixed some things up and did some nice things.”

J.D. Ekowa was in on all three Plainfield North touchdowns. The Tigers took the opening kick and went 80 yards in 12 plays to take an early lead. Ekowa ran 7 yards for a score to give the visitors a 7-0 lead with 7:37 left in the first quarter.

Ekowa hit Zach Jarosz for an 87-yard touchdown pass with 6:00 left in the game and ran 2 yards for another score with 1:53 to play.

“Football is important to him and that tells you the type of character he has,” Kane said of Ekowa.

Plainfield North did get the ball back with 9.1 seconds to play at its 8. However, Ekowa’s pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown for the final score.

Ekowa completed 14 of 40 passes for 222 yards. Jarosz, Kevin Block and TJ kane were his primary targets.

“We had a lot of juniors and a couple of sophomores out there during the game,” Kane said. “We lost three games by eight points.

But, we are still building our program and this is certainly something to build on.”

FOOTBALL – CLASS 8A: LEMONT 27, CHATHAM GLENWOOD 0

Lemont rolls past Glenwood in 6A opener

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent LEMONT – It’s difficult to say if Lemont is better on offense or on defense after the Indians’ 27-0 romp over Chatham Glenwood in their opening-round Class 6A playoff game on Saturday evening.

Statistically and stylistically, the Indians look good either way. When you pile up 248 yards and score three touchdowns in a first half when you only snap the ball 27 times, the efficiency of your offense is unquestioned.

When you hold a Titans squad desperate to get on the board to only five yards in the second half – one on the ground and four in the air – the tenacity of your defense is unquestioned.

Perhaps that’s why, after a long pause when asked just how good Lemont is, Glenwood coach Dan Rourke said through gritted teeth, “They’re probably gonna win state this year.

I’ll say that.”

First, the Indians (9-1) will have to deal with Crete-Monee (8-2), which pounded Rock Island, 40-0, on Friday night. The second-round game will be at Lemont with a quarterfinal berth on the line.

Indians quarterback Austin Nagel, a junior, remembers the last time Lemont played Crete-Monee, when Laquon Treadwell was on the Warriors and dominating both sides of the ball and special teams as well. The War-

Lemont’s Jake Kirkman lands in the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown Saturday during the Indians’ 27-0 victory over Chatham Glenwood in a Class 6A first-round game in Lemont. riors scored a 28-27 victory in the 2012 Class 6A semifinal and captured the state title the following week.

“I was in eighth grade then,” Nagel said. “I thought we got robbed.”

He won’t have to deal with Treadwell, who is long gone and stars for

Mississippi. But Crete-Monee still is a formidable foe.

Then again, so is Lemont, starting with Nagel, who threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns in a 10 of 13 performance. Seven of his completions – including touchdowns of 36 and 5

yards – were to Jeremy Fejedelem, who also intercepted one pass by Glenwood’s Cole Hembrough and had a second interception nullified by one of Lemont’s 15 penalties.

“As time had gone on, he’s taken more ownership,” Lemont coach Bret Kooi said.

Nagel’s collaborations with Fejedelem border on the surreal at times.

One was the 74-yard hookup that Fejedelem took to the Glenwood 11 to set up Lemont’s first score, a 1-yard Nagel plunge.

“He just gets open for me,” Nagel said. “On a lot of big plays, we set it up for him. We need those on third-andlong and he gets it done for us.”

Fejedelem’s seven receptions accounted for 141 of Lemont’s 405 yards.

He also ran the ball twice for 10 yards.

Perhaps the most amazing thing was how Hembrough kept throwing in his direction.

“We gave up big plays to one player (Fejedelem),” said Rourke, whose team finished 5-5. “And they just got tired. Lemont’s got a nice football team. They’re very well prepared.”

Jake Kirkman (31 carries, 168 yards) added a 5-yard touchdown run for the Indians to cap a 14-play drive that opened the second half and ran 9:02 off the clock. Yes, the Indians can also chew the clock.

“That was huge, no doubt,” Kooi said. “Defense holds the fort at the beginning when we don’t get a lot of touches, but that drive was huge.”

FOOTBALL – CLASS 8A: BARRINGTON 41, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 12

Early turnovers come back to haunt Plainfield S.

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent BARRINGTON – Three Plainfield South first-quarter turnovers turned into 17 Barrington first-quarter points.

The numbers tell the story of South’s 41-12 Class 8A playoff loss Saturday to Barrington. After the Cougars fumbled on their first possession, the Mid-Suburban West champion Broncos responded with Kaivon Marodi’s 26-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.

On the next Cougars series, South junior quarterback Jackson Horwath was intercepted, leading to a 31-yard scoring strike from Johnny Davidson to Logan Moews as Barrington (9-1) took a 10-0

lead. A bad snap on a Cougars punt gave Barrington ball at the 11 and Davidson hit Jake Zyzda from 12 yards out to make it 17-0 late in the first quarter.

The Cougars (5-5) never could recover from the opening shock, to the disappointment of the large but rain-drenched contingent from Plainfield South that traveled up Route 59 to support their team.

With 9:26 left in the half, the Davidson-Zyzda combo struck from 12 yards out for a 24-0 lead. Marodi added a 27-yard field goal to make it 27-0.

Horwath hooked up with South senior Austin Deal (five catches, 85 yards, touchdown) on a 52-yard scoring strike to get the Cougars on the score-

board. Deal electrified the crowd, tight-roping down the sideline to make it 27-6 at halftime.

“I felt happy to get us on the board,” Deal said. “We really felt that the score would give us the confidence to come back. I’m really disappointed that we weren’t able to. We played our hearts out. It really hurts to have our season end.”

Davidson threw his fourth and fifth TD passes in the third quarter. After entering with 1,866 yards, 27 touchdowns and two interceptions, he threw for 266 yards and suffered his third and fourth picks as the Cougars’ Mitchell Ganassin and Kevin Valentine intercepted.

With 2:41 left, Howarth

went in from the 2 to conclude the scoring. Howarth, who was replacing injured junior quarterback Nick Deppe, completed 12 of his 27 passes for 141 yards and the touchdown.

Davidson was sacked four times by the Cougars and held to minus-6 yards rushing on 12 carries. Cougars junior linebackers Nick and Jake Portz both had 13 tackles and two sacks.

“All of my individual stats are meaningless compared to my team,” Jake Portz said. “I wish I could have played better for our seniors. I fell so bad for them. I can’t wait for next season.”

“My teammates are the best in the state and we really played hard tonight,” Nick

Portz said. “We had an outstanding season, playing for the conference championship, we beat Plainfield North for the third straight season. It was a great year.”

“I told the kids I am so proud of them for their effort against a fine Barrington team,” South Ken Bublitz said. “This team played for the conference championship when early on we didn’t think we could ever be in that position. The turnovers in the first quarter killed us, but we battled them after that.

“Nick and Jake Portz and Danny Saracco were our leaders on defense all season and played outstanding tonight.

Again, I am so proud of what we accomplished.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ST. FRANCIS 22, TRINITY INTERNATIONAL 7

Defense helps St. Francis defeat Trinity International

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – The defense played a key role in the University of St. Francis’s 22-7 MSFA Midwest League win over Trinity International on Saturday.

“Our defense has been strong all year. They’ve had some ups and downs the past couple of weeks, but I like our talent over there and I like what we can do,” Fighting Saints coach Joe Curry said.

What defensive lineman Calvin Brayboy and lineback-

er Kevin Walsh did was drive Trojans quarterback Zachary Chesser back into the end zone from the 1-yard line for a safety that put St. Francis ahead, 9-0, with 1:12 to play in the second quarter.

The Fighting Saints (7-2, 3-1) took a 7-0 lead earlier in the second quarter when running back John Magee completed a 3-yard jump pass to Adam Morrison. That play capped off an 11-play, 56-yard scoring drive.

St. Francis added two field goals of 27 and 30 yards by kicker Grayson Barnette

to help build a 15-7 lead that lasted late into the fourth quarter.

The Trojans (2-7, 0-5) saw their hopes for a potential game-tying touchdown end at the 1:35 mark of the fourth quarter when safety Mikail Davis intercepted Chesser and returned it 55 yards for a game-clinching touchdown for the Fighting Saints.

“I was just thinking, catch the ball,” Davis said. “I saw the ball tipped, broke on it, caught it with my body and ran outside and took it to the house. It was huge. That pick

six put us over the top.”

St. Francis rushed for 265 yards on 62 carries. Magee started at tailback and rushed for 105 yards on 20 carries before injuries sidelined him. Jordon Smith took over and rushed for 138 yards on 35 carries.

“It was a slop fest. It was one of those games where we knew coming in we were just going to have to turn around and hand it off and depend on the five guys up front,” Curry said. “I thought they did a great job.

“With John, you have to oil

him and grease him up every week to get him out here. He’s got a knee, he’s got a shoulder, he’s got a wrist, he’s got an ankle and he doesn’t practice a lot during the week, but come Saturday, he expects to be out here. He could have returned to the game if it was a dire situation where we needed him. I’m really proud of Jordon. When one man went down, another stepped up. He did a great job,” Curry said.

Linebacker Jamal Graham led the defensive effort for St. Francis by recording 10 tackles, including two for loss.

Huntley’s Daniel Dennis (left) takes down Minooka’s Jake Adams during the first quarter of Saturday’s Class 8A firstround playoff game in Huntley. Huntley defeated Minooka, 49-7.

HUNTLEY– Minooka’s football team saw its season come to a close Saturday in the first round of the Class 8A playoffs, falling to Huntley, 49-7.

The Indians (5-5) were led by quarterback John Carnagio, who completed 12 of 30 passes for 149 yards. Most of that production came when he threw to receiver Isaiah Hill, who caught five passes for 80 yards. Quintin Durov had three catches for 41 yards.

Minooka had little success mustering up a running game to complement its passing attack.

The Huntley defense, which has been its strength throughout the season, held the Indians to negative-23 rushing yards, and Minooka was held without a first down in the second half.

Huntley, Class 8A’s No. 2-seeded team, drove into the red zone on its first possession. But the Indians’ defense forced a critical turnover to keep the Red Raiders out of the end zone.

However, the No. 31-seeded Indians couldn’t slow down the Red Raiders balanced offense the entire afternoon.

Huntley (10-0) took a 14-0 lead after the first quarter on Huntley running back Casey Haayer’s first of three touchdown runs and quarterback Anthony Binetti’s 18-yard pass to Daniel Frederick.

The Indians cut Huntley’s lead to one score with a time-consuming drive, capped off by a quarterback sneak from Carnagio. However, Huntley answered two plays later when running back Eric Mooney rushed 78 yards for his first of two touchdowns.

From there, the game was all Huntley.

Although the Indians end their season with a loss, they can take something away from making it to the playoffs. After starting the season 4-1, they lost three in a row.

But a gritty 16-14 win over Plainfield North in the final week of the season helped to propel coach Paul Forsythe’s squad into the postseason for the first time since 2011.

BOYS/GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY: CLASS 3A NORMAL COMMUNITY SECTIONAL

Minooka’s boys capture first sectional title

By JEFF DeGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent NORMAL – It was anyone’s guess who won as the teams and fans waited for the results in the Class 3A Normal Community Sectional boys cross country meet at Maxwell Park.

When it was announced, Minooka had won its first sectional championship in school history, with 93 points, beating O’Fallon by eight points. Joliet Central grabbed the last qualifying spot by just one point, edging out East Moline United Township 128-129.

Minooka also had the individual champion in junior Soren Knudsen, who continued his hot running on a sloppy course with a move at the 1½ mile-make to win in 15:18.

“That was the hardest race I have ever had to run,” Knudsen said. “It was wet, muddy and hard to see because of the rain.

I knew I had to make a move a little earlier and not wait till the end.”

Soren Knudsen and the Minooka boys cross country team won the Class 3A Normal Community Sectional by eight points Saturday, giving the program its first sectional championship.

Also for the Indians, Miguel Lomeli (15:52) was seventh while Justin Tutt took 18th. Jack Sullivan placed 29th and Jordan Freese finished 38th to nail down the sectional team title.

“I can’t describe the feeling right now,” said Lomeli, the only senior among the Indians’ top five. “I started to realize that

this was my senior year and if I wanted to make a difference for this team I need to run better.”

“The last mile is where we won this meet,” Minooka coach Kevin Gummerson said. “All of their work paid off today. This team has been getting better, but has also started believing they can be good. My hat is off, not

only to Soren, but Justin, Miguel, Jack and Jordan. You need five to win.”

Central was led by Raul Rosendo (15:53), who placed ninth. Andre Martinez was 17th, Vicente Moreno took 25th, David Carter finished 37th and Oscar Tejada claimed 40th to pace the Steelmen.

“We ran fantastic,” Central coach Doug Cherry said. “Oscar was huge for us today. We ran our race, didn’t let things affect us, like the weather or the pace of the race. One point just shows you that every place matters in a race.”

Grabbing one of the area’s two individual qualifying spots was Lincoln-Way Central’s Nathan Coppens, who placed 11th in 15:59. The Knights took seventh with 202 points.

“All the hard work has paid off,” said Coppens, a senior. “For three years, I took a lot of this for granted. Not this year, this is it and it shows that hard will will pay off.”

Joliet West had the other

qualifier – senior Mario Scarcelli, who finished 13th in 16:02.

The Tigers placed ninth with 243 points.

In the Class 2A U-High Sectional, Lincoln-Way West placed sixth with 194 points and just missing a qualifying spot by nine points.

The Warriors were led by individual state qualifier Evan Mitchell, a junior who will be making a return trip to Peoria next week after placing fourth in 15:27.

“The conditions were terrible today, but it was fun,” Mitchell said. “Today was a race to get to next week. I loved the big crowd here, but it was tough even seeing the course with the rain.”

“We ran well today as a team,” West coach Jason Van Swol said. “It’s tough when you miss out as a team by so few points, but I’m proud of our team and the way they competed. Evan is running well and our freshman, Jason Stiglic just missed qualifying but had a tremendous season.”

Minooka girls roll to 3rd straight sectional title

By JEFF DeGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent NORMAL – Halloween has the traditional colors of orange and black, and Saturday the Minooka girls cross country team made sure everyone saw the orange and black in the Class 3A Normal Community Sectional.

Minooka dominated the competition by placing its top five runners in the overall top eight, and scoring only 20 points to win its third consecutive sectional title.

Lincoln-Way Central placed second with 113 points and Lincoln-Way East came in fourth (116 points) to all advance to next weekend’s state meet at Detweiller Park in Peoria.

The Indians were led by individual champion Ashley Tutt, a junior who covered the sloppy and wet course in 17:20.

It was Tutt’s second consecutive sectional individual title.

Sophomore Emily Shelton (17:28) was second and Mackenzie Callahan (17:59) placed third, followed by fresh-

man Vivian Van Eck (18:23), who took sixth, and Morgan Crouch, the lone senior, who was (18:40).

“I had so much energy,” said Shelton, who had taken a week off last week at the regional race. “Taking that week off really helped me. I just went out with Ashley (Tutt) and just ran relaxed.”

“It was really cold out there,” Van Eck said. “It really helped me having the (Joliet) West girl to run with most of the way.”

“This is such a tremendous team to coach,” Minooka coach Kevin Gummerson said. “They are all such a team-first group of athletes. They ran their race, have worked hard. This is a step in the process leading to the state meet next week.”

Central was led by junior Jenna Diers, who took 10th (18:44). She was followed by Kelly Robbins (18th), Gretchen Zirgaitis (21st), Madison Smith (23rd) and Dana Boucher (41st).

“This is an incredible feeling,” Central coach Brian Van Beveren said. “Jenna ran tre-

Minooka’s Mackenzie Callahan and the Minooka girls cross country team claimed their third straight sectional title after winning the Class 3A Normal Community Sectional on Saturday. mendously, she is our leader both vocally and through her performance.”

Lincoln-Way East was again led by the sister combination of Jenna Couwenhoven, a freshman who placed seventh (18:36), and senior Erin Couwenhoven (13th). Alyssa Vogt (19th), Katie DeJulius

(32nd) and Rachel Troeger (45th) rounded out the Griffins scoring.

“We are back,” said an elated East coach Wendy Hegarty.

“We have gotten better every week, and they are really believing in themselves. They are having fun competing.”

Joliet West placed ninth as

a team with 220 points but had the area’s two individual qualifiers.

The Tigers Maddie Blaauw, a sophomore, took fifth (18:23) and senior Kiersten Perry placed 14th (18:52).

“It was really muddy out there, but it was a lot of fun,” said Blaauw, who raced with Minooka’s Van Eck. “I’m so happy with the race and also for Kiersten.”

Joliet Central finished 11th with 337 points.

In the Class 2A U-High Sectional, Lincoln-Way West finished seventh with 199 points, but had an individual qualifier, junior Teagan Lyke, who placed 17th overall in 18:58.

“This really feels good,” Lyke said. “I wish the team was going. The wind bothered me the most today, but I ran my best time all season. I was hurt last season after qualifying my freshman year, so I’m happy to be running another week.”

Morris placed 17th and Joliet Catholic Academy was 18th.

BOYS SOCCER – CLASS 2A LINCOLN-WAY WEST SECTIONAL: GEORGE WASHINGTON 4, PROVIDENCE 0

ing back, so we hope to get back here. We had so many good soccer players, and they played good soccer and were fun to watch.”

The Celtics had four players who were four-year varsity performers – John Barrett, PJ Kowalkowski, Bernie O’Donnell and Kevin Sullivan.

“Considering how much we struggled in past years, getting here was a big step for our program,” Barrett said.

“In the last two years we had some heartbreaking losses in the regional championship.

To be with my best friends and end my career on a run like this meant a lot to me. It was a good way to end things.

“Ever since we were freshmen, we knew that this year was one where we could really do something. Every year we took steps and came close to making a run and doing some damage. At the start of the

year, I thought we had a lot of talent and a lot of people who wanted to work hard and really wanted to win and that was important to fuel our run.”

After challenging keeper Dan Porter in the early stages, the Patriots moved in front for good in the 10th minute when Miguel Rodriguez set up Alberto Solis for the eventual winner.

The Celtics tried to counter with efforts from Braden Kobus, Sullivan and Luke Picard over the next dozen minutes and then again from Jack Richardson and Sullivan just before the break, but Washington struck again in the 33rd minute when Solis found Luis Hernandez.

After a goal by Rodriguez in the 43rd minute to make it 3-0, Providence received good attempts from Kowalkowski and Jack Land. Josue Navarro put the finishing touches on the Patriots’ third section-

al title in four years when he found the net in the 73rd minute.

“If you would have told me when we were 5-9 that we’d make the sectional championship, I would have called your bluff on it,” Kowalkowski said. “We knew that we had talent on our team but I think it just took time for us to bond. We had seniors with experience, great leaders, goal scorers, we were just good allaround but it just took time to mix together.

“Hats off to George Washington, they’re a great team all-around. They knew that they were good and they were good. During our run, it felt like we couldn’t lose at times, it was a good feeling. I’ll remember the playoffs and those games were probably the best of my soccer experience so far. I’m going to look back at our run and also playing with my brothers.”

NEW LENOX – Making its first sectional final appearance since 2009, Providence Catholic’s boys soccer team was hoping its late-season run would result in their first sectional title since 2002, when Brad Guzan and company placed second at state.

But a squad that won a state championship two years ago, Chicago’s George Washington, had other ideas and ended the Celtics’ dreams by capturing a 4-0 victory on a cold and wet Saturday in the Class 2A Lincoln-Way West Sectional championship.

Providence (11-10-1) bounced back from a 1-5-1 start by closing out the regular season with three wins and then winning its first three playoff matches. But the Patriots (12-6-3) scored twice in each half to earn a berth in

Tuesday’s Lewis University Supersectional against Solorio Academy.

“I thought that we played a good game but just ran into a good team in Washington,” Celtics coach Dan Potempa said. “My boys were ready for this game and didn’t let the weather bother them and they could have. We could have been down 4-0 at half to this team. If you look at the score, you might think that they took it to us but we moved the ball pretty well and possessed it. They just capitalized on their opportunities.

“I talked to our seniors about how before they got here, we were a stagnant program that would lose in the first round of the playoffs.

We lost in the last two years in the regional championship and now lost in the sectional championship, and these seniors really set the tone.

We have a lot of guys com-

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson (28) breaks downfield for a 75-yard run during the second half Oct. 25 against the Detroit Lions in Detroit. The Bears face the Vikings at noon Sunday at Soldier Field.

VIKINGS AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, AM-780

Vikings look to end skid in Chicago

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press LAKE FOREST – The last time the Minnesota Vikings won at Soldier Field, Adrian Peterson ran over the Bears in a way no one else has.

That was eight years ago.

The Vikings (4-2) come into Sunday’s game at Soldier Field eyeing a third straight win and looking to drop a long road losing streak for the second week in a row. After earning a rare road win over an NFC North opponent at Detroit, Minnesota will try to end a seven-game slide in Chicago.

“Each week we’re getting better, we’re becoming better as a team, just kinda jelling and molding,” Peterson said. “A real good team.”

They haven’t had any luck in Chicago, however. Not since Oct. 14, 2007, anyway.

Peterson went off for 224 yards – the most by a Bears opponent – to lead the Vikings to a 34-31 victory in only his fifth game as a pro. Since then, it’s been nothing but losses at Soldier Field.

That’s something the Vi-

ened some of the good feelings in Chicago after back-to-back wins.

“The longer the players are with us, we’ll have a better understanding of each other, and, hopefully, that will improve moving forward,” coach John Fox said.

The Vikings, meanwhile, broke a nine-game road winless streak counting the playoffs against the NFC North last

week at Detroit. It was their first victory away from home within the division since they knocked off the Lions on Sept.

30, 2012.

Coach Mike Zimmer has been reminding his team about the losing streak in Chicago, just as he did about the division road skid before the Detroit game.

“When people say we lose all of these games, we can’t win a game on the road, we can’t win a game in the division, I just take it personally, I guess,” said Zimmer, a Lockport graduate in his second season as Minnesota’s coach.

The Vikings are more than just the “Adrian Peterson Show” these days. And last week, Teddy Bridgewater put on quite a display.

With the Lions focused on stopping Peterson, the young quarterback came through with one of the best performances of his career. Bridgewater finished one yard shy of a personal best by throwing for 316. He connected with 11 receivers while completing 25 of 35 passes with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Christian Hackenberg caught four passes all week in preparation to catch just one Saturday.

Maybe.

But when Penn State running back Nick Scott targeted Hackenberg on an option pass to the end zone in the third quarter, it didn’t really matter. The rout was already on, thanks to Hackenberg’s own throwing ability and a defense that smothered Illinois.

Hackenberg threw for 266 yards, including two first-quarter touchdowns, and caught a scoring pass from Scott, while Saquon Barkley and Mark Allen scored on runs in Penn State’s 39-0 win over Illinois.

“Were getting better,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “You’ve got receivers making plays. You’ve got tight ends making plays. You’ve got multiple running backs making plays.

We’re working hard to develop these guys.”

No. 10 Iowa 31, Maryland 15: At Iowa City, unbeaten Iowa kicked off the supposedly soft part of its schedule with a win that wasn’t exactly pleasing to the eye.

Coach Kirk Ferentz couldn’t care less.

All he sees is that his Hawkeyes are 8-0.

Desmond King had an 88yard interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter and 10th-ranked Iowa beat Maryland.

Purdue 55, Nebraska 45: At West LaFayette, Indiana, with a sparse Ross-Ade Stadium crowd of 31,351 to see it, third-year Purdue coach Darrell Hazell’s wait for a Big Ten Conference home victory is over.

And in a big way.

Freshman quarterback David Blough, in only his fifth collegiate start, completed 28 of 43 passes for 274 yards and four touchdowns in the Boilermakers’ victory against Nebraska.

Blough also rushed 10 times for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Cornerback Anthony Brown intercepted three Nebraska passes as the Boilermakers’ snapped a nine-game Big Ten losing streak and gave Hazell his first conference victory after losing his first nine league home games.

Royals one win from World Series title

NEW YORK – A charmed October for Daniel Murphy has just fallen apart. The Mets second baseman let a grounder roll under his glove for an error in the eighth inning that helped Kansas City score three times for a 5-3 win in Game 4 of the World Series. The Royals now lead, 3-1.

The misplay came with runners on first and second and one out. Eric Hosmer hit a chopper and Murphy charged, only to see it get past him.

Bridges, barges and memories Author writes book of essays about her Joliet hometown

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – After publishing a collection of essays based on her formative years in Joliet, poet Francine Tolf of Minnesota realized she had more stories about her hometown clamoring to be written.

Tolf’s first memoir, “Joliet Girl,” took a decade to write. Likewise, Tolf’s second book, “Joliet in My Blood: Essays on Growing Up in Joliet, Illinois,” also became a 10-year-project.

But Tolf – who has a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Minnesota and has received several grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board – was in no hurry.

“I didn’t choose ‘it.’ It chose me,” Tolf said. “I didn’t feel it was overkill. This is simply ‘me.’ This is my life.”

Although Tolf enjoyed hearing feedback about “Joliet Girl” from Joliet-area people – as well as readers who simply enjoyed the stories – she said she learned two things in the process.

One is that memories are subjective. Tolf’s said her memories comprise the truth of Joliet for her, while others recall different “truths” about the city.

“People might read it and say, ‘That’s not how I saw the town,’ and that’s OK, too,” Tolf said.

Secondly, while Tolf’s recounting is set in Joliet, the essay themes – the grammar school bully, piano lessons, cheerleading and the first boyfriend – are relatable to many.

“I didn’t realize this when I was younger,” Tolf said.

Tolf’s feelings regarding Joliet are mixed. Tolf said she felt “dirty somehow” when people commented, “Wow, you’re really from a prison town?” She called it a place of “damaged beauty” and cited her memory of the creek in Pilcher Park being polluted, how the advent of Interstate 80 ravaged West Park and the mansions on the “seedy part of town” being riddled with graffiti.

She also feels that the city’s many bridges symbolize a persistent racial and socio-economic

divide. She saw racial prejudice in Catholic schools, where “nuns taught us love and peace.”

But Tolf also feels a sense of stubborn pride about her working-class roots and identifies strongly with working-class people.

Unlike some authors, Tolf tried hard not to censor herself or inflate her image. She believes readers can identify with – and be forgiving of – fallibility.

And Tolf, who works as a receptionist in an executive suite, can return to poetry with a sense of completion in her work where Joliet is concerned.

“I’m very grateful I have a lot to show for my writing because I’ve worked very hard,” Tolf said, “but I’m slowing down now and that’s good now.”

Works by Francine Tolf Chapbooks: “Blue-flowered Sundress” – poems, Pudding House Press, 2007 “Like Saul” – poems, Plan B Press, 2008 “Windy City Fragments” – poems, Pudding House Press, 2009 “Eighteen Poems to God and a Poem to Satan” – Red Bird Chapbooks, 2012 “Shadow Town” – essays, Green Fuse Press, 2013 Books: “Joliet Girl” – a poet’s memoir about growing up in Joliet, Illinois, an aging steel town, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, North Star Press of St. Cloud, 2010 “Rain, Lilies, Luck” – poetry, North Star Press of St. Cloud, 2010 “Prodigal” – poetry, Pinyon Publishing, 2012

In her own words The following are excerpts from Francine Tolf’s “Joliet in My Blood: Essays on Growing Up in Joliet, Illinois.” To read an entire sample essay – “Religion Class” – and for more information, visit www.francinemarietolf.com.

If I walk past the Princess – the B movie theater, the dirty theater – its lobby is a black cave, a mouth.

I can still feel the cool silence that enfolded me as I walked into St. Patrick’s Church after school to say the Stations of the Cross.

Joliet was factory towers and steel bridges and coal-laden barges, but nestled in its heart was my neighborhood.

Its borders were Raynor Avenue on the west; Hunter on the east; Marion on the north; and Morgan on the south, with Willow Avenue dissecting the rectangle.

Before visiting the Boston Store or Lawrence’s, which sold holy cards and statues of Jesus you plugged into the wall so his sacred heart glowed red, we would stop at the piano store to visit Mom. The bell clanged. The siren screamed. The fifty-year-old steel moaned as guard rails lowered and Jefferson Street Bridge split open, its jaws wide and gaping as any monster.

We did everything together. We walked up to Skylark restaurant after school for chocolate Cokes. We picked out forty-five singles together at Selzter’s drugstore.

The Beach Club was really a water-filled quarry with truckloads of sand brought in to make it look like a beach. ... Michigan Beach, people called it then, after Chicago’s Lake Michigan.

The City of Joliet had razed a number of downtown structures throughout the mid-60s to early 70s. The old Courthouse with its green-domed clock tower was torn down in 1969, and the Woodruff Hotel – once one of the most opulent hotels in the state – was demolished in 1971. There was even talk of replacing Union Station.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The toughest deal at week’s end

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Yogi Berra, who sadly died last month, produced a classic Yogi-ism when he said, “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

All week, we have been studying when a defender should or should not overruff. This is the toughest deal of the week. West is defending against four spades. He leads his singleton heart. East wins with his queen and continues with the heart jack. After South ruffs with his spade queen, what should West do?

Over North’s one-diamond opening, East might have jumped to four hearts. There is a school that believes with 7-4-1-1 distribution, one should always bid game immediately (unless too strong for that action, of course).

What is the significance in East’s carding? With A-Q-J-10 of hearts, he is supposed to win the first trick with the 10. To break a key defensive rule, he is sending a suit-preference signal, shouting that he has the diamond ace.

Therefore, West will be tempted to overruff and to shift to his diamond 10. East would win with his ace and lead another heart, but South would ruff, draw trumps, and claim.

West, with only the spade five, should realize that there is no chance of a trump promotion. Instead, at trick two, he should discard his diamond 10, starting a high-low with his doubleton.

South cashes his spade ace and plays another spade. West takes that trick and leads his diamond three.

East can win and give his partner a diamond ruff to defeat the contract.

If you did that correctly, your partner should give you a pat on the back.

Note to readers: This column is an update of one that originally appeared in May 2012.

diabetes, heart disease and several types of cancer, including cancers of the mouth, stomach, colon, gallbladder and ovaries.

• Is it really whole grain? Not all foods in the grocery store that claim to be “whole grain” really are.

“Whole wheat” does not mean no refined flour. Look for labels that say “100 percent whole wheat” (or oats or rye or another grain).

The first ingredient listed should be a whole grain.

• How much fiber is in the food? Whole-grain foods have more fiber than refined foods. Fiber slows digestion and prevents blood-sugar spikes.

I said the evidence for the adverse effects of bad carbs was growing. One example is an analysis that combined information from 37 different studies that collectively included over 40,000 people. Those whose diets had the highest glycemic loads had a greater risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, gallbladder disease and breast cancer.

What makes this particularly worrisome is that over the past 20 years, many people are eating more highly refined carbs.

In part, that’s because during the late 20th century all types of fats in food – including what we now call good fats – were demonized as unhealthy. So people gravitated to foods that were carb-rich and fat-poor.

Unfortunately, a lot of those foods were rich in highly refined bad carbs. They were readily available, relatively inexpensive, and it was easy to develop a taste for them – as you have. I’d urge you generally avoid them.

Dear Dr. K: You talk about “good carbs” and “bad carbs” in your column.

Since I know new studies sometimes change thinking, I’m wondering if “bad carbs” are still bad -- because I like eating them.

Dear Reader: I’ve got some bad news for you. If anything, the case against bad carbs is growing stronger.

To refresh everyone’s memory, let’s distinguish good carbs from bad carbs.

Carbohydrates are found in a broad range of foods; some are healthy and some aren’t. Table sugar, fruits and vegetables, and grains such as rice and wheat are all carbs. But they aren’t equal in how they affect your body.

What makes a carb-rich food one that should be generally avoided? One discussion you’ve heard before in this column involves the “glycemic load.” This describes both the amount of carbohydrate in a serving of food and how fast that amount will raise your blood sugar level. Foods with a high glycemic load flood your bloodstream with sugar all at once. That’s not healthy.

Low glycemic load foods, in contrast, are digested slowly, causing a gradual rise in blood sugar, rather than a harmful spike. That is healthy.

How can you tell the difference? Consider these characteristics: • How heavily processed is the food? Finely ground white wheat flour is digested faster than coarsely ground (sometimes called “stone-ground”) wheat flour, because the smaller pieces are digested faster.

Whole-grain foods such as brown rice and barley have their fibrous casing intact. The casing slows digestion and contains nutrients that may lower the risk of some diseases. These include Type 2

and nephews aren’t suffering. They’re safe and supervised by their imposed-upon grandmother, who seems unable to tell her daughter that she refuses to be taken advantage of any longer.

I see no reason to hesitate to say something. The next time your mother calls to vent, by all means speak up.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Raul,” has been having the same issue all of his adult life, but it’s new to me because we have been together only a few years.

Raul was born in Mexico, but has been raised in the United States since he was an infant. For some reason, every time Raul and I go somewhere, whether it be the bank, restaurant, store, etc., people always speak to him in Spanish and direct English questions/remarks to me.

At first, I thought it was funny and would tease him about it. But now I see how much it annoys him.

I want to help him address the issue in an appropriate manner. What’s the best way to respond (other than in English) that their assumption of his limited language ability is offensive? – Sandra

in Sylmar, Calif.

Dear Sandra: I’m sure no

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips one does this to be intentionally offensive. However, because being spoken to in Spanish annoys your boyfriend, all he has to do is smile and say, “I speak English.” That ought to fix the problem.

Dear Abby: My daughter “Adele” has been divorced for more than 20 years. I didn’t mention it to my neighbors, so no one knows her marital status. To me, this is a family affair and not for publication.

Adele met a nice gentleman who recently sent her flowers for her birthday.

The florist delivered them to the wrong address. When I went to get them, I could tell the neighbor had read the card because it wasn’t in the little plastic holder the florists use.

She counted the flowers “for” me, 12 roses, pointed to my daughter’s name on the envelope, and then had the gall to read the card to me and ask if I know the sender!

I was so shocked I took the vase and left without comment.

This woman, a schoolteacher no less, has more nerve than brains. Our neighborhood friendship is now over. What do I say to her when I see her? – Peeved

on the West Coast Dear Peeved: Frankly, the

less said to your nosy neighbor the better because she’s the kind of person who is best avoided. If you haven’t already, tell your daughter what happened so she can make sure her gentleman friend has her correct address, or complain to his florist so nothing more gets misdelivered.

Dear Abby: My 25-year-old sister, “Lara,” who has four children with her deadbeat “boyfriend,” lives at my 57-year-old mother’s house and cheats on him. Mom is suspicious because Lara sometimes doesn’t come home from work, and she’s always using the excuse that she’s “going to a friend’s house.” This leaves my mother baby-sitting Lara’s children.

Should I keep out of it while watching my nieces and nephews suffer? I don’t know what to tell Mom when she calls me to vent.

As Lara’s brother, should I say something to get the message across? – Son/
