Troy Middle School students meet veterans Tuesday at a special ceremony. Students were invited to bring veterans to school, and more than 100 came.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Troy Middle School students learned there was much more to Veterans Day than saying “thank you” as they treated their veteran relatives to breakfast Tuesday morning.

More than 100 veterans from every war since World War II came to Troy as students were allowed to bring a veteran to school for breakfast

and a Veterans Day assembly.

“What we really caught in the students’ eyes is this isn’t just your grandpa or aunt,” Principal Michael Portwood said. “They experienced a sense of honor and perspective.”

Veterans, students and school staff gathered in the school cafeteria at 7 a.m. for breakfast. Some veterans shared stories and photos of when they served.

The school invited students to bring relatives who

served or are serving in the Armed Forces. If veterans couldn’t make it, photos of them were displayed.

Seventh-grader James Davis said he saw his grandfather in a different light when he brought the Vietnam veteran to the breakfast.

“Most of the information about him I knew, but one thing I didn’t know was in one of this pictures he kind of

Harrah’s revenue, admissions see increase despite state decline

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Revenue and admissions were up slightly at Harrah’s Casino in Joliet last month compared to last year, according to the latest figures from the Illinois Gaming Board.

Harrah’s Casino brought in nearly $16 million in October, representing a 4.6 percent increase in revenue from October 2013, while admis-

sions were up by 2.3 percent.

Hollywood Casino in Joliet, on the other hand, brought in about $9.9 million last month – or 1.5 percent less than October 2013.

Admissions were down more than 8 percent.

Nearly all of the state’s 10 casinos saw declines in either revenue or admissions, with Harrah’s in Joliet being the only casino with increases in both categories. Overall, revenue at the state’s 10 casinos

was down 2.25 percent, while admissions were down 7.6 percent.

Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, the state’s newest casino and typically the biggest money-maker, saw the biggest decline in admissions last month, at 11.6 percent.

While Rivers saw a slight dip in revenue compared to October 2013, the casino still made $36.4 million, more than double that of its closest competitor, Harrah’s in Joliet.

Joliet West honors World War II-era veteran with high school diploma

By CHRIS LAFORTUNE

More online

clafortune@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A large American flag draped on the wall behind him, surrounded by family, 93-year-old Donald Woodard finally received his high school diploma Tuesday.

Woodard was awarded the diploma thanks to work by students with the Joliet West High School Human Services and Health and Medicine academies. The students organized a special veterans ceremony Tuesday at Lakewood Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center in Plainfield.

“They served our country, so we need to give back to them in a special way,” Joliet West senior Allison Rodawold said.

The students learned Woodard never received his diploma through his daughter, Sally Pagnusat, who works as an administrative assistant at Joliet West. Her father attended Joliet Township High School when it was still one campus, she said.

“He was one of the first participants to sign up in the mid-’30s for two different programs that President Franklin Roosevelt designed during the Depression – the CCC, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the Works Progress Administration,” Pagnusat said.

Woodard’s father was an electrician but, because of the Depression, couldn’t find work, Woodard said. He left high school in May 1939 to enlist in the Navy, sending money back to his family to help support them.

“I had two brothers, and they joined the service, too,” Woodard said.

Woodard first found himself aboard the USS Texas on neutrality patrol, and later, the USS Roper, chasing German submarines at night.

It was aboard the Roper

“I never expected something like this. I appreciate everything.”

that Woodward was injured.

While out in a bad storm at sea, a depth charge on the ship came loose. Woodard’s legs were injured. Several others were killed.

“He was discharged due to a disability for that reason,” Pagnusat said.

Because of his Naval service, Woodard qualified for a diploma through the “Operation Recognition” program.

The program authorizes schools to award diplomas to honorably discharged veterans who had left school to serve in the military.

Woodard was discharged in January 1940 with the rank of Seaman Second Class, according to a news release from the high school. Once he left the service, Woodard became an electrician. He earned his 50-year pin with IBEW Local 176, he said, and worked as treasurer with the union for 44 years.

“He donated all of his service medals and all his recognition back to the union hall to put on display,” Pagnusat said.

And so, the Joliet West students, with the help of the high school’s Junior ROTC, tracked down replacement medals for Woodard, Joliet West senior Emily Molo said.

They presented the medals in a special display case to Woodard along with his diploma Tuesday.

All of this was a surprise, Woodard said.

“I never expected something like this,” he said. “I appreciate everything.”

The students also honored 10 other veterans at Lakewood, providing each with service pins. Leading up to Tuesday’s ceremony, students with the Human Services and Health and Medicine Academy interviewed each of the veterans, introducing each to those gathered at Lakewood before awarding them with their pins.

“It was really cool to hear their personal experiences, even though some of them didn’t want to talk about it,” Joliet West senior Jordan Siebers said. “It’s definitely going to be interesting to get to know the people ... when they get recognized.”

The students planned the ceremony at Lakewood because of a previous connection with the retirement community, said Dan Markun, academy coordinator at Joliet West.

The students threw a birthday party there last year. The party also was for Woodard.

“My assistant here, she mentioned that her dad was turning 93,” Markun said in regards to Pagnusat. “We were planning on visiting a nursing home either way, so we thought, why don’t we go to the nursing home and throw a birthday party for him, and include all the residents?”

WILL COUNTY

Veterans honored at courthouse

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A crowd gathered Tuesday outside the Will County Courthouse to honor military veterans for their service.

But as Dan Ciszek – who served as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam – remembers, it wasn’t always that way.

His return home in 1965 wasn’t the most welcoming.

“There were a lot of Vietnam vets who wouldn’t admit to being veterans until the ’80s or the ’90s,” he said. “It was hard for us to understand why we were treated like we were. We just wanted to get back into civilian life. Sometimes, I felt like it was harder coming home than it was being there.”

Ciszek said that’s why ceremonies such as the one that took place Tuesday in downtown Joliet are key in showing today’s military members the love and support they deserve.

“We have to support our veterans, remember our veterans from wars past, but also honor those serving today,” Ciszek said. “There’s a lot of guys and girls that gave up a lot without saying a word and didn’t look for recognition.

James Sczepaniak, longtime Joliet library trustee, dies

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – James Sczepaniak was the longest-serving active trustee on the Joliet Public Library board, and it may be difficult to find anyone who served on a board longer.

Sczepaniak, 78, who died Sunday, joined the library board in 1979. That gave him 35 years, and he was board president until he stepped down from the leadership position just two weeks ago

because of ill health.

He not only had longevity on the board but passion, fellow Trustee James Nancy HenrickSczepaniak sen said.

“In so many ways, he’s been the face of our library,” Henricksen said Tuesday. “Anybody who knew him felt the passion that he had for the library.”

That passion was evident

until the end, Henricksen said.

“I spent a couple of hours with him on Friday, and even then he wanted to talk about the library,” she said. Sczepaniak was asking about the strategic plan that trustees would soon be developing for the library.

He was a Joliet native, having grown up with the library and graduated from Joliet Township High School.

Sczepaniak went on to teach social studies at Lockport and Romeoville high schools. He

was an active member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Joliet.

In a Monday morning message, library Director Kevin Medows informed staff of Sczepaniak’s death and described “his belief that libraries are truly essential to cultivating a community with high ideals and high achievements.”

“He was a good leader and very dedicated,” Medows said Tuesday. “I learned a great deal about the library and the big-picture issues from him.”

Medows said he believed Sczepaniak stayed on the board so many years “out of sheer devotion and commitment to what the library meant to him.”

Visitation for Sczepaniak will be Wednesday at Tezak Funeral Home, 1211 Plainfield Road, Joliet. The funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m.

Thursday at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Joliet. More details on services are in Sczepaniak’s obituary on Page 18 in The Herald-News.

Details emerge in Plainfield It’s Turkey Time! teachers’ contract dispute

By VIKAAS SHANKER

I’m Baaaaack!

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield teachers dispute the school board’s insinuation that union members rejected their own salary offer when voting down a tentative agreement with the school district.

On Monday, following a show of unity by more than 200 teachers who assembled outside Crystal Lawns Elementary School before a school board meeting, Plainfield School District 202 Board President Roger Bonuchi read a statement that the administration accepted a salary proposed by union leaders.

The contract was rejected Oct. 22 by about 60 percent of union teachers.

Teacher Rich Beintum, a member of the negotiating team for the Association of Plainfield Teachers, said the team was not sure teachers would approve the tentative agreement.

“In the end, there weren’t enough votes,” Beintum said.

“That offer was made in June.

A lot has happened with the workload level for teachers in our district since then. Teachers are just feeling like they’re working much more than they ever have in the history of Plainfield. And it’s affecting the students.”

Beintum said it was issues like workload and language related to retirement that caused teachers to balk.

“The main reasons we voted down this contract is workload, retirement language and salary,” Beintum said. “We

ule under certain parameters.

Teachers gave up salary step increases in the last contract during a salary freeze.

Beintum said they wanted to bring it back.

The teachers union came up with several proposals, three of which were presented to the district negotiating team in July.

In regard to the salary structure, Beintum said, the first proposal was shot down by the district. The second proposal was deemed too expensive. The third proposal also was shot down, and Beintum said the district on paper agreed to the second proposal, although the district verbally

told the union no.

District officials, including Bonuchi and Superintendent Lane Abrell, declined Tuesday to comment on the specifics of the negotiations.

“We accepted the very first offer that they made,” Bonuchi said Tuesday, reiterating his statement made at Monday’s board meeting. “A couple of offers were rejected and we came back to the original offer.

We had a tentative agreement with them. They didn’t want it.”

Bonuchi said he expects both sides to continue negotiating in good faith.

Area legislators predict a quiet veto session

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – Local legislators are predicting a quiet veto session in Springfield later this month – a time when lawmakers can take up anything the governor has vetoed since spring.

“It’s very slim,” said state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Joliet. “Things have been pretty quiet.”

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said there’s a chance House Bill 3796, which tightens the state’s Freedom of Information Act law, may come up.

The proposal allows local governments additional response time and the ability to charge more fees when handling FOIA requests that require more than 500 pages of paperwork.

McGuire, a supporter, said the bill also would exempt local governments from having to provide paper copies if the information already is available on their websites. There is an exception if an individual cannot access the record online, McGuire said.

Walsh said there’s also talk lawmakers will try to override Gov. Pat Quinn’s veto on ridesharing legislation – which called for mandatory background checks and proof of insurance for employees of ridesharing companies.

Walsh said he hasn’t forgotten about Senate Bill 341, a bill he co-sponsored with McGuire earlier this year.

The bill created tax credits for private developers to stir redevelopment of state-owned surplus properties, such as the old Collins Street Prison in Joliet.

But the chances of Walsh calling it for a vote during the veto session are uncertain.

Income tax hike The so-called lame duck session in January – where lawmakers often tackle controversial bills – also appears to be a dud.

A once-anticipated vote on extending the state’s temporary income tax is unlikely, with Democrat lawmakers recently suggesting a desire

to hold off until Republican governor-elect Bruce Rauner makes his budget address in February.

Bruce “Any action Rauner on tax policy, it would desirable for it to be bipartisan,” McGuire said. “We await the governor’s address.”

Rauner campaigned on a promise to repeal or scale back the 2011 tax hike, which is set to sunset in January.

It’s a campaign promise Democrats want to hold the governor-elect to, said Kent Redfield, a political expert and emeritus professor at University of Illinois at Springfield.

Redfield said Democrats want to “force Rauner to come to them with a budget proposal,” rather than giving him more than $4 billion in revenue to help him craft a budget.

Considering the state’s multi-billion-dollar backlog of unpaid bills, Rauner may end up doing what former Gov. Jim Thompson did back in the 1980s, Redfield said.

Though Thompson made lower taxes a centerpiece on the campaign trail, once elected, he told everyone he changed his mind on tax policy and said he hadn’t realized the state’s dire fiscal situation.

“You just have no options.

You definitely can’t cut your way out of it. You need revenue,” Redfield said.

But Rauner also campaigned for a gradual rollback of the income tax hike – which won’t happen overnight, said state Rep. Renee Kosel, R-Mokena.

“He said all along during the campaign that he wanted to rollback the income tax hike, but that’s a four-year process,” Kosel said.

The upcoming lame duck session will mark the last for Kosel, R-Mokena, who didn’t seek re-election this year. She said she thinks lawmakers should hold off on any major decisions until Rauner is in office.

“It’s probably in his purview to decided exactly what should be done,” she said.

NEW LENOX

9

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

NEW LENOX – Village officials in New Lenox have changed the way garbage services are offered to senior citizens.

In recent weeks, the village renegotiated a contract with NuWay Disposal to offer garbage and recycling collection services for senior citizens at a lower price.

All residents 65 and

older are eligible for a “senior rate” of $6.58 a month, which is about half of what they would have been paying before, Mayor Tim Baldermann said.

“They now have the best rate for garbage services for seniors in any community,” he said.

Baldermann said Dec. 15 is the deadline for senior citizens to join the program this year but the village is willing to accommodate others who are new to the area.

When village officials renewed an agreement for garbage, yard waste and recycling services with NuWay Disposal, the company wanted everyone to use a toter or disposal can.

But senior citizens in the village said they didn’t have much garbage. Many of them would put out a bag with a garbage sticker instead, Baldermann said.

“Most people take the big [toters] but the seniors who didn’t have very much gar-

bage only needed the 35 [gallon toters],” he said.

More than 700 people have signed up for the program thus far, Baldermann said. He said at least 60 to 70 people contacted village officials with concerns about the price of NuWay Disposal’s services.

In September, village officials renewed an agreement with NuWay Disposal that would send a quarterly bill from the company to residents. The bill included cart

rental fees.

Under the new agreement, seniors who use a 35-gallon cart will have NuWay Disposal services for $6.58 per month and be billed quarterly for a total of $19.74. Even residents with a larger car can exchange theirs for a smaller one to participate.

Senior citizens would need the village to verify their age and address at Village Hall on 1 Veterans Parkway.

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Bullying is a big topic for children, but a musical in Lockport this week intends to teach important bullying lessons through classic fairy tales.

Cast and crew with AlphaBet Soup Productions will perform “The Bully Show: The Anti-Bullying Musical” at 1 p.m.

Saturday at Lockport Township High School.

The show features fairy tales such as “Little Red Riding Hood,” “The Ugly Duckling” and “Three Billy Goats Gruff” with a modern twist. They each show the negative effects of bullying and how children can overcome it.

The show is designed for students in preschool to fifth grade, said Andrew Swanson,

one of the show’s actors and AlphaBet Soup Productions marketing coordinator.

“We present these important topics in a fun and entertaining way for the kids,” he said.

But there’s plenty of stuff in the show to “make the older crowd smile,” he said.

AlphaBet Soup Productions decided to tackle the subject because bullying has become a huge problem in schools, Swanson said. There is a demand from teachers looking for anti-bullying programs.

Nationwide, 28 percent of middle and high school students experience bullying, according to the U.S. Health and Human Services Department’s Stop Bullying website.

Mark Pence, director and writer, said he wanted to make a show targeting children early

on, to let them know bullying is not acceptable. The three fairy tales address stereotyping, school bullying and standing up to bullies, he said.

In the case of “Little Red Riding Hood,” which addresses stereotyping, the audience learns the main character is the bully while the Big Bad Wolf is

Shows have taken place in Romeoville, Oak Lawn, Chicago and Franklin Park.

“It’s kind of cool. We’ve been able to have a lot of return customers, including teachers who take their students on field trips,” Swanson said. “They come back because it has such a good message.”

not. But it’s hard for people to tell since he’s big, hairy and smells, Pence said.

“Of course he’s the bad guy … [Little Red Riding Hood] pretty much gets everybody to gang up on the Big Bad Wolf,” he said.

Swanson said the show has been well received in the past.

Former Plainfield parks administrator takes Pekin job

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A parks official once pegged to lead the Plainfield Township Park District has found a new job in the Peoria area.

Cameron Bettin has accepted a position as the executive director of the Pekin Park District and will start in December.

Pekin is a midsize city with a population of 35,000 in Tazewell County, south of

dead skin cells,” Malinowski said. “(Clients can get the) removal of the vellus hair without the irritation of waxing.”

Do you have fine hairs on your face you’d like to get rid of? Consider giving dermaplaning a try.

For those who have heard the old wive’s tale that hair grows back thicker after a shave can rest easy.

“That isn’t true,” Malinowski said. “The hair is fine to begin with and is ablated at the surface. It’s the same hair. It’s not going to get coarse.”

Kathe Malinowski, lead esthetician and marketing manager for Eterna MedSpa & Laser Vein Center, said the procedure not only helps remove dead skin cells but also can take away those fine vellus hairs.

Afterwards, clients notice softer skin.

“People who have a lot of fine vellus hair like this treatment because it temporarily removes the hair and they get an exfoliation at the same time,” Malinowski said.

“Most people who do dermaplaning do it to get rid of the fine blond vellus hairs not for the exfoliation,” Malinowski said. “That is more of a perk to the dermaplaning.”

The other perks? No downtime and no redness.

How does it work?

“The procedure entails a cleansing of the skin, then the dermaplaning is done with a scalpel blade which ablates the top layer of the skin, removing the hair and

Peoria.

According to Bettin’s three-year contract, his salary starts at $105,000 in his Cameron first year. The Bettin salary will increase $5,000 each year the next two years.

“Cameron’s temperament fit nicely with someone the board and staff will work with,” said Pekin Park District Executive Director Bob Blackwell, whom Bettin will succeed. “Cameron will fit nicely in areas where I didn’t have expertise, in the planning areas.”

Bettin was in line to succeed former Plainfield parks

Executive Director Gregory Bott beginning in July 2013.

But a shift in the board following the April 2013 elections led to Bott being ousted at a May board meeting, with a new majority hiring Garrett Peck instead. That left Bettin as the assistant executive director. In January, he resigned and took a severance package.

The move was unpopular with several residents, who formed a loosely organized advocacy group called Park Truth to protest the controversial decisions made by Peck and supported by three commissioners.

Peck has since resigned as executive director. The position was filled on an interim

basis by Director of Parks Gene Coldwater and consultant Richard Grodsky before former Worth Park District director Carlo Capalbo was hired.

New planning director Capalbo will suggest reversing one controversial decision made by Peck at Wednesday’s board meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. at 24023 W. Lockport St. in Plainfield.

The board is scheduled to vote on creating a director of planning and procurement position. Peck eliminated the planning department after Bettin resigned, and outsourced the work to Naperville-based Hitchcock Design Group.

Evicting bad tenants can be tricky SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman They don’t pay their rent, they blast loud music, and they smuggle in pets.

They must go. But it can be a costly process to evict bad tenants, according to Tim McGinnis, partner and managing broker, at Celtic Property Management.

Celtic manages approximately 400 properties -apartments, condos, and rental homes -- and averages about an eviction a month, despite a conscientious tenant screening process. That’s still well below the industry average of five percent, but it’s still problematic.

Celtic , advertises for prospective tenants through websites, newspapers, mailings, and signs. The prospective tenant submits an application, which is carefully reviewed to determine credit, employment and rental history and criminal background.

McGinnis says, One quarter of the applications are accepted after a thorough

screening process.

“The goal is to keep the properties occupied with the appropriate tenant. No one makes money if the building is unoccupied or being damaged by a tenant” McGinnis explains.

However, when tenants don’t observe the terms of their lease, problems arise.

For example, if tenants are late with their rent, they can receive a call or an email. If no response is received, a hand-delivered notice will begin the eviction process.

Some owners are hesitant to do an eviction because of the lengthy process and expense but, McGinnis says that it must be done.

Evictions start with a Five Day Notice followed by a court hearing. In cases where a tenant does not show up in court the owner receives immediate possession.. If a tenant does not vacate in accordance with the judgment, the Sheriff is notified and a physical eviction is performed.

Tenants can avoid evictions if they just work out an approved payment plan.

Wounded Iraq War vet, anti-war activist dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE – Tomas Young, a wounded Iraq War veteran who was an outspoken critic of the conflict and the subject of the 2007 documentary “Body of War,” has died. He was 34.

Young died Monday in Seattle, according to the King County medical examiner’s office. A cause and manner

of death were pending, the office said Tuesday.

Ellen Spiro, who co-directed the film with Phil Donahue, also told The Associated Press that Young’s wife notified her of his death.

Young joined the Army when he was 22, two days after the 9/11 attacks. He had been in Iraq less than a week when he and fellow soldiers came under sniper fire on

April 4, 2004, while riding in an unarmored truck in a rescue convoy in Sadr City outside Baghdad, the Kansas City Star reported.

Young was paralyzed from the chest down because of a bullet to his spine, and he used a wheelchair to get around.

The documentary follows Young as a 25-year-old as he deals with his disability and

finds his voice speaking out against the Iraq War. “Tomas was a voice for his generation. Both compassionate and uncompromising,” Spiro said in an email Tuesday. “I will miss his humor and presence in this world that so desperately needs more young people like him.”

Young was a native of Kansas City, Missouri, and graduated from Winnetonka High

School, the Star reported. He joined the Army hoping to fight in Afghanistan but was distraught when he was sent to Iraq because he felt that conflict wasn’t justified.

In 2013, he told the Star that he planned to refuse food, water and life-extending medication. He later had a change of heart, saying he wanted to spend more time with his wife.

missed by his family who loved him dearly.

The McAsey family expresses its sincere gratitude to the staff of Loyola University Hospital, Our Lady of Angels Retirement Home and the Joliet Area Community Hospice for the wonderful and loving care Jim received during his illness.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Jim’s name for the Sisters of St Francis Retirement Fund at 1433 Essington Road, Joliet, Illinois 60435 or the Joliet Area Community Hospice at 250 Water Stone Circle, Joliet, Illinois 60431 would be appreciated.

Per Jim’s wishes, cremation rites have been respectfully addressed.

Work paused on Indiana berm to block Asian carp

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – An official said construction crews will be ready to resume work next spring on building a nearly 2mile-long earthen berm through an Indiana marsh considered a possible pathway for Asian carp to reach the Great Lakes.

Workers have mowed off vegetation and removed trees from the project area in Eagle Marsh just southeast of Fort Wayne.

Little River Wetlands Project manager Betsy Yankowiak told The News-Sentinel crews also installed a fence to keep turtles, snakes and other wildlife from entering the work site.

The $2 million project aims to prevent Asian carp from crossing from the Wabash River watershed into the Maumee River, which enters Lake Erie at Toledo, Ohio. The project contract calls for the 9,100 feet of berm to be completed by next September.

Incoming Chicago archbishop urged to address abuse

CHICAGO – A prominent lawyer for victims of sexual abuse said the incoming archbishop of Chicago should require all archdiocese priests to sign statements testifying they never abused a child.

That’s among the actions attorney Jeff Anderson said Blase Cupich should take promptly to address the festering issue.

Cupich takes over the nation’s third largest archdiocese this month. He comes to Chicago after serving as bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Spokane.

Anderson and other plaintiffs’ attorneys criticize outgoing Cardinal Francis George for sometimes appearing to down-

Rauner also attended the event.

Anderson said Cupich comes from a culture that emphasizes secrecy. However, victims’ advocates have extended a hand of cooperation to him.

Anderson said Cupich needs “to jump outside the box of clerical secrecy.”

‘Data visualization’ is aim of grant for supercomputing

URBANA – The National Center for Supercomputing Applications has received a $1.5 million grant to bring computer modeling to the silver screen.

The News-Gazette said the National Science Foundation grant will help the computing center develop museum shows and science documentaries with data visualization.

University of Illinois professor Donna Cox, who is director of the Advanced Visualization Laboratory, said research teams will use data visualization to show how integral supercomputing and data are to daily life.

The grant will fund “ultra-high resolution” digital shows premiering at large-screen theaters, then remade for museum and planetarium viewing.

The money also will fund nine high-definition documentaries to be distributed via online video services. The first production is “Solar Superstorms,” about potentially disruptive radiation explosions on the sun.

Illinois’ Abner Mikva to receive Medal of Freedom

CHICAGO – A longtime federal judge and five-term Democratic

congressman from Illinois has been selected to receive the highest honor granted to American civilians, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Abner Mikva, 88, will receive the medal – bestowed for contributions to U.S. security, world peace and culture – Nov. 24 at the White House. The 19 recipients also include Meryl Streep and Stevie Wonder; and three civil rights activists slain in Mississippi during a 1964 voter registration drive: James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner.

The White House announcement singled out Mikva as “a dedicated public servant who has served with distinction in all three branches of government.”

Obama previously acknowledged Mikva as one of his political mentors.

State treasurer trying to reunite veterans, medals

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford said his office is trying to reunite veterans and their families with lost military medals, ribbons, dog tags and paperwork left in unclaimed safe deposit boxes.

Rutherford said his office has 120 unclaimed military medals in the Capitol vault in Springfield.

He said some of the material may have been put in a safe deposit box by people who eventually died or moved away.

More information about the effort can be found online at www.treasurer.il.gov by clicking on the link labeled “Operation Reunite.” That section lists the names of people last connected with the boxes.

Amid Ebola, fewer expats in West Africa

By JASON STRAZIUSO The Associated Press Although he lives in Sierra Leone, American Michael Ropiecki tries not to waste a lot of energy worrying about his health. But last month, he came down with a fever, was throwing up and had diarrhea – all symptoms of Ebola.

“It turned out to be food poisoning, but I was very nervous that day because I had three of the major symptoms of Ebola – and yeah, it was scary. Very scary,” said the 35-year-old Tennesseean.

Ropiecki is one of a dwindling handful of Americans and other Westerners who have stayed in the Ebola-stricken countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea since the outbreak. The expatriates have seen friends flee and new aid workers arrive.

Attendance at one international school has dropped. Another one closed altogether.

Those who have stayed know the countries’ medical infrastructures have been devastated. Airline options have

dwindled. Embassy families have left, and many missionary groups and multinational firms evacuated staffers.

Many expats in the countries are new arrivals trying to aid the Ebola response, businessmen trying to drum up business from that response, or those just trying to help locals make it through the day.

Ropiecki estimates 60 percent of expats left Sierra Leone.

Ropiecki is the director of The Raining Season orphanage, which has about 100 orphans, ranging from infants to 15-year-olds. His wife and three oldest daughters left in May, but he needed to stay because the couple can’t yet ensure their two youngest adopted daughters can get out.

An orphan girl he was trying to help who lived in a hardhit village contracted what likely was malaria or typhoid, but no medical staff would treat her, worried that she had Ebola. She died. “I am angry, of course, but I am doing something constructive about it. I have a plan to help others like her get care quickly.”

President Barack Obama is shown the way by China’s President Xi Jinping as they enter a room for a meeting Tuesday after participating in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit at the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in Beijing.

Obama’s bid for new China ties can’t subdue tensions

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press BEIJING – When Xi Jinping took the reins of a booming China two years ago, President Barack Obama saw an opportunity to remake America’s relationship with the Asian power. But even after Obama’s unusually robust efforts to forge personal ties with Xi, the two leaders are meeting in Beijing amid significant tensions, both old and new.

Xi has consolidated power since taking office, deepened China’s provocative maritime disputes with its neighbors and stands accused of continuing cyberattacks against the United States.

U.S. officials have new concerns over the potential for a crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong and warily are watching Beijing strengthen ties with Moscow as the West distances itself from Russia.

For its part, Beijing remains skeptical of Obama’s

intentions in Asia, seeing his efforts to bolster U.S. economic ties in the region as a way of countering China’s rise.

Obama’s domestic political weakness, particularly following the Democrats’ defeats in last week’s midterm elections, also has sparked questions in China about whether the U.S. president can deliver on potential international agreements.

At the opening of talks on Tuesday, Obama declared he wanted to take U.S.-China relations to a “new level.”

The leaders planned to meet again Wednesday and then make public statements.

In the lead-up to the Obama-Xi meetings, U.S. officials sought to refocus attention on areas of U.S. agreement with the Chinese. The two countries announced a reciprocal accord to extend visa lengths for their citizens.

And Obama announced the U.S. and China had reached an understanding that would allow negotiations to move

forward on a deal with the World Trade Organization to reduce tariffs on high-tech goods.

The U.S. and China also are looking to cooperate on climate change ahead of a summit in Paris early next year. The U.S. has been pressing China to set an ambitious target for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and Beijing appears to be getting serious about the problem. That’s a shift for China, which in previous years argued that developed countries like the U.S. bore most of the responsibility to deal with climate change.

“I think that consensus is growing that there’s going to be more viscosity, more tension with China over the next few years,” said Michael Green, an Asia analyst at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. He added that Xi has proved to be “less accommodating” and “tougher than expected” in his dealings with the U.S.

Veterans Day means serving those who served

By JULIE WATSON The Associated Press SAN DIEGO – Army reservist Dennis Rances had a general idea of how he would spend Veterans Day with his military friends, and none of it required money.

The Afghanistan war veteran figured they would start with a free breakfast, ride their motorcycles and then stop for a no-cost dinner. Not just food was on the house Tuesday, there was also free admission at select theaters to the World War II film “Fury,” starring Brad Pitt.

“Let’s go, dude!” said Rances’ Army veteran friend, Cesar Garcia. He stood among motorcycles outside a packed Denny’s in San Diego as fellow

veterans wearing hats with Purple Heart logos and military T-shirts passed.

Veterans Day is not only a time to honor those who have served in the military: For American businesses, it’s also a time to back up that appreciation with a freebie.

A slew of locally owned businesses and national chains offered something free Tuesday to anyone who has served in the military – a trend that has been growing since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

“I think it’s pretty cool businesses are showing their appreciation this way,” Rances said.

Many, like Rances, started the day with a free meal. Denny’s was offering a Grand Slam breakfast on the house, and IHOP served up free red, white

and blue pancakes.

Veterans could then walk off the calories in national parks, which offered free admission to everyone, and re-energize with a free 12-ounce cup of Starbucks-brewed coffee for current and former military members and their spouses.

They could stop in for a free haircut at Great Clips or get a card to redeem one by Dec. 31, then grab lunch or dinner without spending a dime at Applebee’s, Olive Garden or Chili’s, among others.

And that’s only scratching the surface: There were free appetizers, beer, gym passes, car washes and video game tokens.

Retired Navy Cmdr. David Glazier, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said he was inundated with

Ceremony will be broadcast on JCTV Channel 6 • CEREMONY Continued from page 4 Post 1080.

“It’s because of veterans of the past and present that we are living in a time where we are secure, and we offer our thank yous to all of those who have given their ultimate sacrifice,” Walsh said. “We thank you, the ones that have served and come back home.”

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante and state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, also spoke at the ceremony.

Sean Baumgartner, director of the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, served as the keynote speaker.

“Veterans are the lifeblood of democracy,” Baumgartner said.

The program also included music by the American Legion band and the singing of the national anthem by Elaine Swearingen.

The event was hosted by five veterans’ posts in the Joliet area: VFW 367 Cantigny Post; American Legion Post 1080; VFW 2199 Stone City Post; American Legion Post 5, Harwood Post; and American

offers.

“It’s kind of overkill,” he said. “There’s only one of me, and I can only eat one lunch.”

While veterans appreciate the goodwill gesture, many, like Glazier, missed out because they had to work. Some businesses were extending the deals beyond Tuesday.

Glazier planned to go to Knott’s Berry Farm, the theme park south of Los Angeles, which is offering free tickets to present and former military members and a guest until the beginning of January.

Bob Goldin, executive vice president of the Chicago-based food industry consulting firm Technomic, has not seen figures on the impact of the deals, but he does not believe they lead to a long-

term boost in sales.

But with so many big-name companies offering freebies, there is pressure to join them.

“It’s like apple pie,” he said.

“It’s patriotism. Who dares being anti-veteran?”

Most veterans were wellaware that the freebies were also a marketing opportunity for businesses, but Glazier said that’s not a bad thing.

“To me, the real perversion is Memorial Day, because Memorial Day has become a giant party day and sale day for American businesses, yet that is supposed to be the day we honor America’s war dead,” Glazier said. “Veterans at least are alive and here. So offering a free lunch to them or another sincerely good deal, I think it’s a nice thing to do.”

looked like my older brother,” Davis said. “I was surprised how many people I know actually have relatives who serve or are serving.”

At 8:40 a.m., everyone attended an assembly in which Major Drew Sanders from the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve base in Joliet spoke about what Veterans Day is about.

He told students and veterans that saying thanks to a veteran wasn’t good enough.

Veterans performed a very noble and important service, and people who want to say thanks should also consider doing something for them, especially those who are struggling every day with injuries or psychological trauma.

Larry Shaver, Davis’ grandfather, hopes the assembly instilled in his grandson a good sense of patriotism, and an interest in learning the history of the world.

“Major Sanders said something today that we often forget,” Shaver said.

“Major Sanders said something that we often forget. You walk up to a veteran you meet and you say thank you for your service, shake hands, then go on your way. There’s more to it than that.”

Larry Shaver Vietnam veteran “You walk up to a veteran you meet and you say thank you for your service, shake hands, then go on your way.

There’s more to it than that.”

Joliet resident Sherry Grether came with her eighth-grade son and shared photos of her older son, who is serving in North Carolina as a U.S. Marine.

“It was a fabulous assembly,” Grether said. “Maybe the kids who don’t know anybody in the military are more aware and more compassionate for what some of these people in VA hospitals or suffering from depression did.”

It’s easy for politicians to spend other folks’ money REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder CHICAGO – It takes a special kind of cheap to leave a waitress a mere 50 cents for a tip – even if the bill is $2. A half a buck won’t buy you much these days.

But that’s how much Gov. Pat Quinn left a waitress after breakfast in Champaign during the waning months of the 2014 gubernatorial campaign, the News-Gazette reported in September.

I was thinking about that last week as I sat in the front row at the James R. Thompson Center and watched Quinn concede defeat.

He never mentioned his opponent, Bruce Rauner, by name. No words of congratulations passed his lips. A sullen and bleary-eyed politician just announced he didn’t have enough votes to win.

And then the sanctimony began.

Quinn announced he would push for raising Illinois’ minimum wage before he leaves office in January. “Our minimum wage is $8.25. It is not enough for a mom, a dad or anyone to raise a family on,” he said.

Well, yes, Pat, I agree. It would be difficult to support a family on a minimum wage. Just ask Joy O’Brien. You know her, Pat. She’s that waitress who spent years serving you and your political cronies at Chef Petros in downtown Chicago.

The upscale restaurant is situated near the Thompson Center, Chicago City Hall and various judicial buildings.

It serves that unholy trinity of lawyers, reporters and politicians.

Joy is a feisty dame who once handed a $2 tip back to Patti Blagojevich and told her to keep it. She didn’t like how the former Illinois first lady treated her, and she certainly didn’t like how she chose to compensate her for her labor.

Joy is a single mother who raised six children on her own and at one point ended up living in her car.

Joy has had a rough life and by

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

her own admission has made some bad choices. But she has always worked – and worked hard.

For 38 years she waited tables, mostly in downtown Chicago.

Like so many Illinoisans, she has left our state and now lives in Nashville, Tennessee. But until 2009, Quinn was one of her regulars.

“I was earning $2.13 an hour and depended on tips to make up the difference. It’s really hypocritical for someone to be talking about raising the minimum wage when they are so cheap. I think the biggest tip I received from Pat Quinn was $1.75. Sometimes it was less.”

Quinn earns $177,412 as governor of Illinois. Quinn often quotes scripture saying “To whom much is given, much is expected.”

But he’s got a reputation for being chintzy with his own dimes.

And now Quinn wants to raise the Illinois minimum wage to $10 per hour. It’s always easy to be generous with someone else’s money.

I called Quinn’s spokesman seeking comment about the governor’s alleged parsimonious ways.

He didn’t call me back. Oh, well.

To be sure, raising the minimum wage will help some people.

But it will hurt others. After all, it was never intended to be a wage on which to someone could support a family. It’s supposed to be a starting wage for someone just entering the workforce.

And raising the wage as Quinn, O’Brien and others want to do would be detrimental. Employers would not be able to employ as many people if the bottom wage were goosed up.

The minimum wage hike also would deprive some low-skill workers of their first job opportunities. And it would mean stores, restaurants and other businesses would have to charge customers more to make up for the added cost of paying workers.

And nobody likes paying more.

Just ask Pat Quinn.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WHY LISTEN TO FOLKS OBVIOUSLY WRONG? To the Editor:

Climate change is the only place a person needs to look to see that there is no hope for American politics. It offers us the most representative microcosm of our completely broken democratic process. It is a problem to which there is a logical solution, supported by an almost unanimous consensus of the most intelligent experts in the world, experts who are relying on predictable, empirical science. Yet somehow, even when faced with the mountain of data that clearly lays out the problem and requisite course of action, people think they are entitled to their “beliefs.” For this reason, we all will suffer the consequences of their ignorance.

Although we love to think that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, at a certain point this becomes insanity. At a certain point, in regard to things such as climate change, it becomes suicide to be tolerant of opposing beliefs for the simple fact that this is a thing that imperils the entire

planet. It’s like we’re in a car heading off of a cliff, but instead of debating how we solve the problem of dying in a fiery crash – asking each other meaningful questions, such as do we slam on the brakes, will there be time to stop, should we just jump out and tuck and roll – we are arguing whether we are even in a moving vehicle.

It begs the question that if they could be so obtuse – so devastatingly wrong – about something so blatantly obvious and scientifically verifiable, why should we listen to them when it comes to other matters of public policy? If these people would put profits before the environment, or an ecosystem so increasingly fragile, one without which the very existence of life on Earth is threatened, how can they be trusted to make any important decisions?

HOME BAKERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED To the Editor:

I am a student at Joliet West, and I came across your article “Joliet moves

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.

forward on Cupcake Law” Oct. 15. I think the “Cupcake Law” is highly unreasonable.

Finding a job or even being accepted as a baker is very hard because there are not many bakeries; also, many people don’t have piles of money lying around to be spent on a bakery. Therefore, at-home bakeries rely on selling their home goods from their actual home.

Now, Pat Quinn is requiring bakers at home to quit selling baked foods or they have to agree to the “Cupcake Law.” What if the bakers are a single parent or a struggling homeowner?

This law states you only can make $1,000 a month; but that is not enough to pay bills, take care of kids if you have any, pay for birthday presents, birthday parties, school, etc. How does Quinn expect us to support him if he denies people opportunities to prosper?

If the customers trust the baker himself/herself, then the government should allow people to buy their sweets wherever they wish – even if it’s at a house.

JCA looks to complete turnaround at state

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, November 12, 2014

26

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Catholic girls volleyball team set a goal to erase the memory of last season’s finish and go to state for the first time since 2010.

At the beginning of the season, however, those goals seemed unreachable.

The Angels started the season 9-12 and appeared to be a much weaker team than anticipated. Then JCA went 15-4 in its remaining matches and beat Sterling in the Class 3A LaSalle-Peru Supersectional, earning a trip to Normal to face Montini in the state semifinals at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Redbird Arena.

“In the beginning, I remember people saying they thought we were supposed to be a lot better,” senior Maddie Naal said. “This kind of shows that we redeemed ourselves. We have shown how we really can play and that we are a team of the caliber that can make it there.”

Two of Joliet Catholic’s struggles were consistency and finding the right lineup. Toward the middle of the season and with the correct lineup, effective offensive plays and hard work, the Angels began playing they way they were expected to play.

They also became stronger by learning from their early struggles.

“We found ourselves as a team,” senior Madeline Grimm said. “We figured out what we needed to do to start winning, and we started playing consistently. Even though our record wasn’t the greatest, we took a lot of the losses to three, and they were very good teams that are 4A and state-bound. Playing them definitely helped us in the end.”

“The teams that we played to get to state did not play the schedule that we played,” senior Mary Murphy said. “We played a 4A schedule. It prepared us. We have a lot of losses, but you have to look at who those losses are from. We had two to Benet, two to Marist, one to McAuley, one to Assumption [Kentucky]. There were a lot of losses that were competitive losses.”

Joliet Catholic’s Megan Cladis returns the serve against Sterling during Saturday’s Class 3A Supersectional final at LaSalle-Peru. said the improved physical and mental aspects of the team’s game helped contribute to the later success. The Angels picked up their conditioning regiment and increased the amount of time they spent visu-

alizing their game.

After winning consecutive matches, the Angels’ confidence rose, and they began playing the type of volleyball that was expected. The success came toward the middle of the

season, but if it takes time for a team to click, the perfect time to do it is near the playoffs.

The Angels also have another thing in their favor in the upcoming semifinal match.

They will battle Montini, the school that recently knocked JCA football out of the state playoffs, and the school that beat the Angels in last winter’s Class 3A state championship basketball game.

“Our school is going to want to see us beat Montini,” Naal said. “Hopefully, we can do that for them. We are really looking

forward to potentially playing in the championship game.

That is a big motivator.”

Montini will be a more difficult match to win because the Broncos also have competed against tough Class 4A teams.

But instead of that making the Angels more worried, they welcome the opportunity to play a more skilled team.

“We’re more excited,” Murphy said. “We bring out our best in competitive games like that. It’s a huge rivalry for the school. The crowds are going to be crazy, and that makes us more excited.”

If the Angels play their game, they have the chance to play Breese Mater Dei or Wheaton St. Francis for the Class 3A state title.

“We’ve been telling them all along, it’s on us,” Scheibe said.

“We have to go out there and execute our game and play the way that we know how; and we can be competitive and beat any team if we play the volleyball that we are capable of.”

CLASS 6A STATE FOOTBALL QUARTERFINAL PREVIEW

| SPORTS

Lemont hopes to continue special season

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, November 12, 2014

28

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LEMONT – After seeing its nine-year run of playoff success come to an end last year when it failed to advance to the postseason, Lemont’s football program was determined to return to its winning ways this season.

Bret Kooi took over head coaching duties from Eric Michaelsen, but he inherited the Indians coaching staff as well as a talented group of athletes determined to return their program to prominence.

That effort has worked so far. Lemont has won all 11 of its games as it heads into Saturday’s 6 p.m. Class 6A quarterfinal game at 10-1 Richards.

The Indians hope to keep the season going as they try to reach their fifth semifinal contest in the last eight years. But that will be challenging, considering that the Bulldogs fell in the Class 6A championship game a year ago.

“I’m extremely happy with the way that we’ve performed,” linebacker Frank Pignone said.

“We had a motto during the offseason that was ‘train insane to regain the name.’ We wanted to regain the toughness that we’ve had all of these years.

We’re just so close together as a team. I played up on the varsity when I was a sophomore, and we lost to Crete in the semifinal game, and that was such a disappointment. I’m so excited that we’ve gone this far and that I get the chance to go out there and hopefully do better this time.”

The transition following coaching changes doesn’t always go so well, but the smooth transition from Michaelsen to Kooi reflects the quality of the Indians program.

“I attribute our success to coach Kooi, who has really stepped up our game on offense, and coach (John) Howell and the defensive coaches, who I think are great,” safety Jeremy Fejedelem said. “And our players, since we’re a very good unit and we just work together as a team. After having a rough year, it just made everyone want to be better. I think that we have a tradition that everyone is trying to strive

Lemont’s Nathan Palermo blocks in the Nov. 1 game against Thornton. we’ve just been taking each one for. We made it to the state finals in 2007 and 2008, so we’re trying to match the intensity that those teams had.”

Getting back to Lemont’s success brand of football began with hard work during the offseason, work that has paid off

thus far.

“We’ve been playing really well,” offensive lineman Casey O’Brien said. “We’re trying to get back to the powerhouse that Lemont was known as. We’ve been working really hard preparing for our next game, and

game by game. Coach (John) Coneset worked really hard with us in the offseason, and we trained hard to make sure that last season couldn’t happen again and that we’d make the playoffs. It’s been a blast working with teammates that we’ve been with since we were

little.”

Kooi has been in this position before, having led Lockport to back-to-back Class 8A championships. So he knows that success through Week 11 doesn’t guarantee anything at this point.

“I’m smart enough to realize that if you look ahead, it’s done, especially with who we’re playing,” Kooi said.

“They’re an excellent program that has so much history; so we’re fully aware of what they’re capable of, let alone with them getting to the state championship game last year.

I walked into an absolutely incredible situation. Things never skipped a beat, and that says an awful lot about what’s going on here. I feel like everything was laid in place and I’m along for the ride, and the guys who were here deserve all of the credit.”

VIEWS Dick Goss

needs its defensive effort of the year to survive and advance.

Lincoln-Way East is playing better all the time. Mount Carmel did not enjoy one of its classic seasons. However, this still is the Caravan, coached by Frank Lenti. It will be interesting to see whether the East defense can stifle the Mount Carmel attack.

The Griffins’ offense has been clicking behind quarterback Mike Weller and figures to do its share. Unless the Mount Carmel offense dominates, East has a good chance to survive. Whichever team wins could be in for a dream semifinal matchup against Providence.

Ah, yes, those Celtics. They dropped a 23-16 decision to Wheaton Warrenville South in the first round of the 2011 playoffs, when the Tigers were one of the state’s top-ranked teams.

This season, Wheaton Warrenville South had remarkable escapes in Week 9, when the Tigers beat Naperville Central, 27-20, to qualify

for the playoffs, and in Round 1 of the playoffs, a 17-10 overtime victory over Lincoln-Way North.

Then again, that’s what good programs do. They find a way. Wheaton Warrenville South has been strong defensively, so Providence’s vaunted offense is in for one of its toughest challenges.

The Lemont-Richards game shapes up as a battle between two high-powered offenses and easily could go either way.

The Indians’ Ryan Dawson has thrown 43 touchdown passes. Richards’ Hasan Muhammad-Rogers, an Illinois State recruit, completed 16 of 23 passes for 395 yards and five touchdowns last week in a 3427 win over Lincoln-Way West.

Morris is entering its third straight playoff game as the underdog, if you believe the seeds. But the Redskins are like Mount Carmel and Wheaton Warrenville South in that they are a traditionally strong program that barely qualified for the playoffs, then gathers momentum on a playoff run.

For Morris to win this one, the formula of Rounds 1 and 2 must remain intact. Play good defense, run the ball and move the chains to keep the enemy offense off the field.

The Coal City vs. Manteno matchup is the classic rematch. When the two met in the regular season, Manteno won, 24-23. Somehow, it seems that result could play in Coal City’s favor. The Coalers are peaking at the right time.

St. Joseph-Ogden is coming off a huge 41-14 victory over Tolono Unity, which beat the Spartans by a similar margin during the regular season.

That means Wilmington will entertain an opponent that will be on a high. But the Wildcats went to Monticello last week to face a high-powered offense and won, 40-0, so they have momentum as well.

As with every other game in the area, it should be a good one. Regardless, no more Black Saturdays. Please.

Watch Chicago Football NOW on WCIU, The U – Saturdays at 10:30 am and The U Too – Saturdays at 2:30 pm!

• Wednesday, November 12, 2014

A year ago, the Joliet area had five representatives in the quarterfinal round of the state football playoffs.

There was reason to believe all five could win. None of them did, even though every game went to the wire.

Black Saturday. Ugh. For this area to have no finalists – in fact, no semifinalists – is rare indeed. The prevalent feeling was our guys would be back this season.

We will see how that plays out Saturday, when all of our remaining seven teams face difficult quarterfinal assignments. Analyze the matchups and you feel all seven can win, yet any of the seven can be ousted.

That’s as it should be when you reach this stage of the playoffs. No gimmes are expected.

The rundown of Saturday’s

area games: Class 8A: Bolingbrook (8-3) at Homewood-Flossmoor (9-2), 7 p.m.

Class 7A: Wheaton Warrenville South (7-4) at Providence (10-1), 1 p.m.; Lincoln-Way East (10-1) at Mount Carmel (74), 1 p.m. at Gately Stadium Class 6A: Lemont (11-0) at Richards (10-1), 6 p.m.

Class 5A: Morris (7-4) at Peoria (10-1), 2 p.m.

Class 4A: Manteno (9-2) at Coal City (10-1), 2 p.m.

Class 3A: St. Joseph-Ogden (10-1) at Wilmington (11-0), 5 p.m.

Bolingbrook lost to H-F, 35-28, in the regular season.

The Raiders recently returned Quincy Woods to the quarterback slot, and that could provide a lift to the offense.

The defense, however, could decide Bolingbrook’s fate. H-F has scored at least 40 points against everyone except Bolingbrook and unbeaten Stevenson, which outscored H-F, 33-24, in Week 2. The Vikings’ other loss (43-40) was to Lincoln-Way East. Bolingbrook

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Nobody really expects me to grade the Bears’ performance in Lambeau Field last Sunday night, do they?

It’s impossible to remember the last time an NFL team failed as spectacularly as the Bears did in their 55-14 loss to the Packers, and that makes it impossible to give a single Bears player or coach anything but an F for the evening.

There were a few players who probably deserved better than what they got from their teammates.

Matt Forte did what he could with his 20 touches, 17 rushes for 54 yards and three catches for 27 more. He played hard to the whistle and on his own may have been a B – or a C+.

But we can’t ignore the failings of that passing and running game. I can’t remember the last time Forte only caught 43 percent of the throws he was targeted with. Cutler tried to get him the ball seven times and he only caught the three.

The Bears quarterback is an easy target, but it can’t all be on him.

Brandon Marshall also played to about a B level and was definitely the hardest working guy on the field in the second half, when most of the players on both teams were on cruise control.

However, some first-half

histrionics from Marshall, and less than stellar routes over the course of the game, have to go into his grade too.

The offensive line had its worst game in two seasons under Marc Trestman and Aaron Kromer. The Bears managing just 2.3 yards per rush and watched Cutler go down four times for 27 yards in losses.

Veteran Pro Bowl left tackle Jermon Bushrod had multiple pre–snap penalties and even Kyle Long had his first truly bad game of the season. Long was actually flagged for holding Josh Boyd while Boyd was making the tackle on Forte.

Jordan Mills, before bruising his ribs, and Michael Ola, after the Mills injury, were both swinging gates at right tackle while only Roberto Garza appeared to play his usual game.

Martellus Bennett gets an E for effort rather than an F. Only he can say for sure, but it appeared his issues were caused more by his bruised ribs than a lack of effort or ability.

Defensively, it was 42-0 at the half, what more do I need to say?

I’m only going to mention three players.

It may be Jared Allen wasn’t overly productive on the field because he was working so incredibly hard in the huddle and on the sideline to keep his teammates in the game. Allen earned his check at Lambeau.

Shea McClellin and Lance Briggs actually weren’t that

bad against the run. McClellin continues to be absolutely lost in coverage or trying to shed blocks, but his run fits weren’t awful and he did make some plays.

Briggs was active from the beginning and right to the final gun. He actually missed a few more fits than you’d like but you can’t accuse him of not sacrificing his body or failing to fly around trying to make something happen.

As poor as almost every single player on the roster graded out, this disaster was on the coaches.

When coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery met the media the day after the fiasco in Foxborough, they assured everyone they understood how ugly things had gotten and that they had answers they could and would explore during the bye and that the only way to go from there was up.

To come back and actually be significantly worse against the Packers suggests there is only one conclusion we can make.

Not only does the entire coaching staff get failing grades for the Packers game, it’s hard not to wonder at this point if it’s too late to bring those grades up to passing before the end of the semester, I mean season.

Showalter, Williams voted top MLB Managers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Buck Showalter and Matt Williams won the Manager of the Year awards Tuesday, turning a Beltway double play.

Showalter took the American League prize for the third time after guiding Baltimore to its first division title in 17 years, and Williams snagged the NL honor following his first season as a big league skipper with Washington.

Showalter received 25 of 30 first-place votes and 132 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. He’s established a unique

pattern of winning once a decade following victories with the New York Yankees in 1994 and Texas in 2004.

“I won’t be doing it 10 years from now,” Showalter said on the MLB Network telecast.

Williams, who played under Showalter in Arizona from 1998-00, led the Nationals to an NL-best 96 wins. He got 18 first-place votes and 109 points, joining Houston’s Hal Lanier (1986), San Francisco’s Dusty Baker (1993) and Florida’s Joe Girardi (2006) as the only men to win in their first seasons as a major league manager.

“This is an organization-

al award as far as I’m concerned,” Williams said on a conference call. “It’s a testament to how the organization has built itself.”

Mike Scioscia of the Los Angeles Angels was second in the AL with four firsts and 61 points, and Kansas City’s Ned Yost finished third with 41 points. Seattle’s Lloyd McClendon followed with 29 points.

The 58-year-old Showalter piloted the Orioles to a 96-66 record and their first AL East crown since 1997 despite playing large chunks of the season without All-Stars Chris Davis, Manny Machado and Matt Wieters.

A:

No. If the bunion is an arthritic problem, then removing the bony bump, a simple bunionectomy, or joint replacement can be done. his type of surgery will heal quicker than a more complicated bunionectomy where the bone is broken and shited. Removing the arthritic bone and replacing the joint with an implant, if needed, will increase the movement of the toe and eliminate the pain. adno=0282251

A: Diabetes does not necessarily cause hearing loss however diabetes and hearing loss are two of America’s most widespread health concerns. According to the American Diabetes Association a recent study found that hearing loss is twice as common in people with diabetes as it is in those who don’t have the disease. Of the 79 million adults in the U.S. who have prediabetes, the rate of hearing loss is 30 percent higher than in those with normal blood glucose. While we don’t know exactly how diabetes is related to hearing loss, it is possible that the high blood glucose levels cause damage to the small blood vessels in the inner ear, much the same way it can damage the eyes and kidneys. More research needs to be done. November is National Diabetes Month and a good time to get your hearing checked.

FOOD

Following her dream Joliet Junior College culinary student to compete in culinary Olympics

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND JOLIET – In two decades, Joliet Junior College culinary arts student Kristyn Chatlosh has gone from standing on a chair helping her mom bake Christmas cookies to taking part in the culinary youth Olympics.

The seven-member ACF Culinary Youth Team USA 2016, which includes Chatlosh, will compete at the 2016 Internationale Kochkunst Ausstellung International Culinary Exhibition – known as the “culinary Olympics” – in September 2016 in Erfurt, Germany.

Because practices are time-consuming and intense, Chatlosh said she quit her bakery job to make time for them. She is glad she saved up some money.

“I spend an average of 12 to 14 hours at JJC during the week – sometimes more,” Chatlosh said.

That’s just the time Chatlosh spends with her mentor, JJC Chef Timothy Bucci.

Bucci is an official ACF judge, she said, so he’s more than qualified to critique her food.

Chatlosh also said she is responsible for the team’s cold platter and has not reached the timed runs stage.

“I’m just working on the same platter, trying to make it better,” Chatlosh said.

For now, Chatlosh and her teammates host weekly conference calls and share photos of their work; but come January, they will meet monthly and practice as a team.

Most of these sessions will take place in either Texas or North Carolina, Chatlosh said.

That’s because one sponsor is in Texas, the team coach lives in North Carolina, and all but three

Later this month, Chatlosh said, she and another teammate will fly to Luxembourg to apprentice with the adult Team USA as it competes at the 2014 Villeroy & Boch Culinary World Cup, held Nov. 22 to 26.

Chatlosh said this will give her an understanding of how the Olympics might be conducted.

“I’ll be able to bring back that knowledge to my teammates,” Chatlosh said.

Chatlosh had no previous competition experience before she applied for the culinary Olympics, she said. She did apprentice – and travel with – JJC’s hot foods competition team to the American Culinary Federation National Championship in Las Vegas in July 2013, where the team took first place.

In Las Vegas, Chatlosh heard about the culinary youth Olympics. Chatlosh said she couldn’t get this “once-in-a-lifetime experience” out of her head. Team

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

There are exceptions to the normal play

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Douglas Adams, an Englishman who wrote the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” trilogy in four books, said, “Nothing travels faster than light, with the possible exception of bad news, which follows its own rules.”

Bridge has a variety of rules, most of which having exceptions.

For example, suppose you are faced with A-J-9-5-4 in the dummy opposite Q-10-8-7 in your hand. How would you normally play the suit?

Right – you would take the finesse.

In theory, 50 percent of the time you will get five tricks. To try to drop a singleton king offside has only about a six percent chance of success. But why might you lead the queen from your hand and, after lefty plays low, put up dummy’s ace?

Now look at the North-South hands in today’s deal. South is in three no-trump. West leads a fourth-highest heart five: three, queen, king. How should declarer continue?

South starts with seven top tricks: three spades, one heart (first trick), one diamond and two clubs. It looks obvious to take the diamond finesse at trick two, but that does not work well here.

East wins with his king and returns the heart 10 (high from a remaining doubleton). The defenders take four heart tricks for down one.

Declarer should realize that if West has the diamond king, the contract is always safe. South’s remaining heart jack-six is a stopper with West on lead.

So declarer should lead his diamond queen to tempt West to cover with the king if he has it, then rise with dummy’s ace. When the king drops, South takes 11 tricks. It is a textbook avoidance play.

Artificial sweeteners may not lower calories Dear Doctor K: For 20 years, I’ve substituted artificial sweeteners for sugar in my coffee, and switched to diet soft drinks to avoid obesity and the diseases that overweight people are prone to, like Type 2 diabetes. Now I hear that new research says that’s a bad idea. What is going on?

Dear Reader: Here’s what’s not confusing: More than a modest amount of sugar each day is not good for you. Nothing’s changed there. The sweet tooth that many of us have (I plead guilty) leads us to eat too much sugar.

Sugar contains easily absorbed calories. That makes it harder to maintain or achieve a healthy weight. It also increases our risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes.

Sugar-sweetened soft drinks and fruit juices are particularly bad actors.

The development of no-calorie artificial sweeteners, like saccharine, sucralose and aspartame, seemed like a godsend.

Like you, I switched from regular drinks to “diet” drinks a long time ago. Artificial sweeteners taste as sweet as (or sweeter than) sugar, but contain virtually no calories. What’s not to like?

In previous columns, I’ve said that there was some evidence that consuming artificial sweeteners might increase our appetite for sugar-containing sweets. That is definitely not a good thing, if true. I still regard it as unproven.

But recently, a scientific study was published in a prestigious scientific journal, Nature, that set me back on my heels. If other scientists confirm this work, it has important implications for all of us. To tell you what the study showed, I first need to explain a little biology.

Many foods contain carbohydrates (“carbs”).

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Carbohydrates resemble a chain with multiple links.

When they enter our gut, the links in the chain are separated by digestion.

Table sugar is a simple chain: just two links, easily separated. It’s the single links that mainly are absorbed into our blood. The most common is called glucose. When your doctor measures your blood sugar, glucose is what is being measured.

Any food, say a slice of an orange, contains calories. But those calories add to our weight, and influence whether we might develop diabetes, only if they are efficiently broken down into single links – glucose – and then are absorbed into our body.

Our intestines contain trillions of bacteria of different types. Some types are very good at breaking up carbohydrates into glucose; other types are not. If you’re a person with lots of the first type of bacteria living inside you, every slice of orange you eat will lead to more calories getting into your blood.

The recent study presents evidence indicating that artificial sweeteners may encourage the growth of the types of bacteria that generate more glucose -- and, hence, lead us to absorb more calories. In other words, while the sweeteners don’t contain calories, they may cause us to absorb more calories.

If other scientific studies confirm these findings, I will be further lowering my modest consumption of artificial sweeteners. I’ll keep you posted.

Dear Sarah B.: Thank you for your charming letter.

Your mother was not only a good negotiator, she also taught you a skill that will be valuable as you grow older.

I print letters about this subject so often because of the number of complaints I receive about the failure to receive a thank-you note.

When a gift (or check) isn’t acknowledged, the message it sends is that the item wasn’t appreciated, which is insulting and hurtful.

Chief among the reasons people don’t send thank-you notes is that they don’t know what to say and are afraid they’ll say the wrong thing.

That’s why my booklet,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips “How to Write Letters,” was written. It contains samples of thank-you letters for birthday gifts, shower gifts and wedding gifts, as well as those that arrive around holiday time. It also includes letters of congratulations and ones regarding difficult topics – including letters of condolence for the loss of a parent, spouse or a child. It can be ordered by sending name, mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby Letters Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.) Use it to tailor your own messages. With the holiday season approaching and people sending gifts and greetings through the end of the year, this is the perfect time to reply with a handwritten letter, note or well-written email.

Because composition of letters and notes is not always effectively taught in the schools, my booklet can provide a helpful tutorial, and is particularly valuable for parents as a way to teach their children how to write using proper etiquette.

Dear Abby: My question is very simple, Abby. Who determines right or wrong in your life, your opinions, your column? This will tell me all I need to know about your wisdom or advice. –

Ron in Michigan Dear Ron: Actually, I think your question is anything but “simple,” and the answer is: I DO.

• Write to Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

• Wednesday, November 12, 2014

Dear Abby: The issue of thank-you notes comes up often in your column. May I share how I learned to write them? When I was young, my mother asked me one day why I was so resistant. I said I hated addressing them and I never knew what to say! It was overwhelming to me.

Mother taught me some phrases such as, “I appreciate your thoughtfulness,” and ways to close like, “I hope to see you again soon.”

She gently reminded me that the sooner I wrote, the easier it would be to express words of gratitude.

She also made a deal with me: If I quit complaining and procrastinating, she’d address them for me until I turned 18.

When I turned 18 she gave me an address book filled with the addresses of our family and friends, beautiful new stationery and a book of stamps. In case you’re curious, my 18th birthday gifts were all acknowledged with thankyou notes addressed by me!

I’m 22 now, and I have never missed a note. – Sarah B.,
