Chemicals released from railroad tanker in Elwood No workers affected or off-site impact reported

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – A cloud of chemicals was released early Thursday from a railroad tanker at the Stepan Company chemical plant.

About 1 a.m., employees had just begun offloading a rail car when a pressure relief valve malfunctioned, according to Will County sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer. A small vapor cloud of sulfur trioxide sprayed into the air within the facility, which is along the Des Plaines River, just off Millsdale Road and northeast of Interstate 55.

Elwood and 12 other fire departments assisted Stepan employees for a hazardous material alarm call.

“An additional small release was ex-

perienced while the rail car was being locked down,” Hoffmeyer said.

Stepan spokeswoman Kim Kumiega said no employees were affected by the gaseous release, but all employees were required to take shelter until it was contained.

Hoffmeyer said sheriff’s deputies also evacuated truck drivers waiting to make deliveries at the south gate.

Access roads were closed until the gas was contained and personnel were diverted to staging areas, according to Hoffmeyer. Kumiega said plant operations had returned to normal by 10 a.m.

“There was no impact to the community,” Kumiega said. “We will be conducting a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the release.”

Sulfur trioxide is used to manufacture sulfuric acid and is considered toxic, according to Stepan documents. The Environmental Protection Agency reports sulfuric gases in the atmosphere can contribute to acid rain.

“It’s definitely a material you don’t want to encounter if you don’t need to,” said Harold Damron, director of the Will County Emergency Management Agency.

Damron said there were no off-site complaints about the leak. Stepan kept the situation under control, he said.

“We had a few people on the scene throughout the night,” Damron said. “We were satisfied there wasn’t any off-site impact. They were using a water stream to knock the vapors down at the site.”

Several fire departments were called to the scene as a cautionary measure in case there was contamination or any impact on employees, Damron said. But the leak was mainly controlled by Stepan emergency crews.

“They requested outside assistance early on,” he said. “It wasn’t something that we came into eight hours later.”

Motorist killed in crash with off-duty police officer in Joliet

By BRIAN STANLEY and BOB OKON Shaw Media JOLIET – A 24-year-old man was killed early Thursday in a crash with an off-duty police officer.

The collision occurred about 3:30 a.m. on Larkin Avenue at Delmar Street, police said.

Rashad J. Stinson, of Joliet, had to be extricated from his car by Joliet firefighters, who cut into the roof of the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:38 a.m., according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

The officer, a 38-year-old sergeant who has not been identified, was helped from his car by a passer-by and police officer. Both of them arrived after the crash, police said.

The sergeant was having surgery Thursday night for bone fractures in his right foot and ankle, Deputy Chief Ed

Gregory said. He was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center after the crash.

There were no witnesses to the collision, which involved a Pontiac Bonneville driven

by Stinson and an SUV driven by the officer, Gregory said.

“We don’t know if the Bonneville was making a turn or not,” Gregory said. “But we do know it crossed into the path of the SUV driven by the sergeant.”

Gregory said the southbound Bonneville was partially in the northbound lane and partially in the center lane at the accident. The SUV, which was headed north, was in the inside northbound lane, he said.

The collision was head-on.

But because it was at an intersection and because of the nature of the damage, it was unclear what happened before the crash, Police Chief Brian Benton said.

“It could have been a case

where the vehicle drifted into the path of the other vehicle, or it could have been attempting to turn,” Benton said.

Benton said a blood alcohol test was done on the officer in the accident and there was no sign of impairment. Police were waiting for a toxicology report on Stinson from the coroner’s office.

Gregory said the sergeant typically works a night shift and was on his way to meet another police officer at the time of the crash.

“He was going to go get some coffee,” Gregory said.

“He had called another officer, who was working, to meet him at Dunkin’ Donuts for some coffee.”

There were no passengers in either car.

A section of Larkin Avenue between Vernon Avenue and Black Road was shut down as police reconstructed the crash. It was not reopened until after 10 a.m.

Area students take part in 15th annual Disability Mentoring Day ple to their future jobs.

“I was speaking with one of the teachers this year who told me a student who mentored at a local studio ... has an opportunity now,” Boshears said.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Plainfield South senior Julian Guerrero smothered a spatula dripping with chocolate on an angel cream eclair he created Thursday at Home Cut Donuts in Joliet.

“I’m a pro,” Guerrero said to three other high school students who used a pump to fill and top doughnuts with Home Cut’s special cream.

High school students and recent graduates participated Thursday in the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living’s Disability Mentoring Day program. They did job shadows at several local businesses and organizations.

In its 15th year, the program’s goal is to expose students and recent high school graduates with disabilities to jobs that relate to their interests.

“We work with area high schools to help place these students in a general area in the work field so they can get an idea about what it’s like to work there,” said Tabitha Boshears, Disability Mentoring Day coordinator for the center.

Students and graduates from Plainfield School District 202, Lockport High School District 205 and Joliet Alternative High School participated.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., students learned about the business they visited, and in some cases they completed tasks that employees would do. A lunch followed the activities.

Mentoring to a job

Several businesses have been participating for years, including Greg’s Body Shop at 2221 Oak Leaf St., the Crest Hill Police Department and Culver’s at 1500 Route 59 in Joliet.

Home Cut participated in Disability Mentoring Day for the first time this year.

Participants in a job shadow day sand a car for painting at Greg’s Body Shop on Thursday. Owner Greg Buciarelli said the program helps employers and employees realize that people with disabilities can be hard workers.

“The kids had a great time,” Home Cut owner Jim Ruhaak said. “Who wouldn’t want to inspire young people?”

Guerrero said one of the more interesting parts of the day at Home Cut was using the pump that puts filling into the doughnuts.

“It kind of dropped out

a little bit, but it was fun,” Guerrero said, adding that he would consider working at Home Cut if the opportunity arises.

The students were paired with job coaches and mentors who helped them throughout the day.

“The business exposes

them to work and builds up their self-esteem,” said Sherry King, a job coach from Lockport Township high schools. “Hopefully, they get employed.”

Boshears said there have been several examples during the past 15 years of Disability Mentoring Day exposing peo-

Greg Buciarelli, owner of Greg’s Body Shop, said that the program doesn’t just help the students and young adults explore career options. It helps employers and employees realize that people with disabilities can be hard workers.

“The whole key to the excitement is not just showing them how to do things, but them experiencing it handson,” he said.

Five recent high school graduates in the Lockport Career and Community Connections program wet-sanded the primer on a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino at Greg’s Body Shop.

The program, organized by Lockport high schools, helps recent graduates with special needs or disabilities find work.

Levi Mize was one of those graduates from Lockport East High School.

“It’s something new to learn,” said Mize, who already has a job at an ACE Hardware store and works at Lewis University. “I’m exploring this.

That’s why we do these volunteer jobs.”

Kaley Cahoon is another graduate of Lockport East.

She got to see the inner workings of Golden Corral at 2400 W. Jefferson St. in Joliet.

“We took a tour around Golden Corral, and they showed us the meat, dessert and other departments,” said Cahoon, who is filling out applications and hoping to find a job after she leaves the Career and Community Connections program next month.

“In the future, I’d like to work in a restaurant, so this is good experience for me,” she said.

Plainfield teenager Will County forest district is chosen as Miss cuts budget by $3 million Illinois Junior Miss

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – After the announcer called the regional title winner for Miss Iowa, Plainfield South junior Victoria Hir’s excitement grew. The next winner to be named at the pageant was Miss Illinois Junior Miss.

“For me, this was it,” Hir said. “Either you won this or you didn’t.”

Her name was called, and the hours she put in the classroom and out in the community were recognized.

Hir won the Miss Illinois America’s U.S. Miss pageant in the Junior Miss division for ages 16 through 18 last weekend in Davenport, Iowa.

In a pageant that honors a contestant’s speaking skills, community service track record and even grades, Hir stood out.

“It was a really fun experience to be honored for that,” Hir said. “I got to meet some new girls, made friends, and it was a really good experience just being able to go and win something.”

In school, Hir has a 4.0 GPA and is part of the Varsity Cougarettes Dance Team and Plainfield South Leadership Corps.

She also is involved in leadership at her church, Community Christian Church in Shorewood, and recently trav-

Miss Illinois Junior Miss Victoria Hir eled to St. Louis, Missouri, to clean up a church.

What set Hir apart from other contestants is her community service, she said.

“I do a lot of community service,” Hir said, adding that she has more than 500 hours of community service. “I take the initiative for myself to do a project.”

In addition to cleaning up the Missouri church, Hir has donated to and helped organize several food and clothing drives to victims of Hurricane Katrina and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

JOLIET – The Forest Preserve District of Will County is shifting its focus next budget year with its multiyear, multimillion-dollar land acquisition program coming to a close and capital improvements slowing down.

The priority now will be maintaining existing land and streamlining operations, Executive Director Marcy DeMauro said Thursday after a meeting of the forest preserve board.

The board approved a $46.6 million budget for 2015, trimmed from the 2014 budget of $49.7 million. Much of the decrease is because of the district paying off bond debt.

The 2014 estimated levy, including debt service, will be about $35.6 million, representing a $211,836 decrease from 2013, DeMauro said.

The decrease is because of a reduction in debt service, she said.

Based on the reduced levy, residents will pay $117.50 in annual property taxes based on a $200,000 home, said John Gerl, the

By the numbers

Q The district’s approved 2015 budget totals $46.6 million, down slightly from $49.7 million in 2014.

Q In 2015, residents will pay $117.50 in annual property taxes based on a $200,000 home – down from $119.51 in 2014. district’s director of finance and administration. That’s down from $119.51 in 2014.

The district was able to hold the line on taxes this year, as was the case in five of the last six years.

Restructuring, downsizing

To avoid a potential $400,000 budget shortfall, the district is restructuring operations and introducing an early retirement plan starting next summer.

Employees who are at least 50 years old and have 20 years of experience with the forest preserve district are eligible to retire early under the incentive program, DeMauro said.

Of the district’s 121 fulltime employees, 21 are eligible to participate in the program, which is expected to save $2.2 million over the

next five years.

Thirteen employees have expressed interest in the program, she said. Of those, six positions will be eliminated, while others will remain full-time or be scaled back to part-time, DeMauro said.

Supervisor positions – most of which were created during the district’s “intense growth period” – have been targeted for elimination, and the district plans to hire internally for positions left vacant because of early retirees, she said. The new organization model will have a two-person leadership team that reports directly to the board president.

The district budgeted $16.45 million for operating expenses, up from $15.8 million from 2014.

DeMauro said the increase represents money from the district’s cash reserve fund to complete scheduled capital improvements with $400,000 going toward infrastructure and $250,000 going toward the removal of diseased ash trees.

Capital improvements include work on some of the forest district’s 137 miles of trails.

Officials cite tax backlash in losses of referendums

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX — Greg Lewis isn’t certain why a referendum to maintain the tax rate for the New Lenox Community Park District didn’t pass Nov. 4.

For almost a year, park officials pushed for a referendum they said needed to pass for capital improvement projects.

Despite the backing of local organizations and marketing efforts, it failed during the March and November elections.

About 57 percent of voters were against the referendum in the last election.

Lewis, the park district’s executive director, said he can only guess it’s because people don’t want tax increases in a state with already high taxes.

“I can’t control that. When you look at your overall tax bill, it is [high]. Hopefully, it will change,” he said. “That’s the push for the new governor right? To get property taxes down?”

The park district’s referendum was one of three referendums that failed to pass in Will County. Wilton Township’s referendum, which also sought support for a tax increase, and Braidwood city’s referendum for police pensions failed to pass as well.

The failure of these referendums means the New Lenox park district and Wilton Township will have to make do with what they have. For Wilton Township, that means determining which infrastructure project will cost the most: road improvements or bridge repairs.

“There’s only enough to keep up the roads. We have snow removal when we have a hard winter. As far as bridge repair, there’s no money for that right now,” said Township Supervisor Gynith Borden.

Officials in Wilton Township, south of Manhattan and west of Peotone, asked voters if they should increase the tax rate from .4618 percent to .66 percent for road improvements and bridge repair. About 55

percent of voters were against it in the November election.

Borden said she thinks the referendum failed for the same reason many do. People do not want tax increases, especially in a tough economy, she said.

“I think people would like to see the bridges and roads repaired, but I can only guess as to why they won’t,” she said.

With the failure of the New Lenox park district’s referendum, staff will have to build parks at a slower pace, re-evaluate charges and fees for programs, and compete better for state grants, Lewis said.

“My fear is that [building parks] is going to get slower because the competition for grant money is going to get stiffer than it has ever been,” he said.

The failed referendum has left park officials frustrated, he said. They conducted a needs assessment survey showing support for park improvements, but that support was not evident earlier this month during the election.

Braidwood city officials asked for a new tax on taxable property for police pension purposes. About 82 percent of voters were against it. Calls to Police Chief Rich Girot were not immediately returned.

Illinois Youth Center in Joliet to reopen in 2016 for mentally ill inmates

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

Pat McGuire State senator from Joliet

mental health services within an overcrowded prison system.

In an attempt to settle the case, the DOC agreed with a court-appointed monitor to redevelop IYC-Joliet and three other facilities in downstate Illinois to provide services for mentally ill offenders, including long-term, residential in-patient care.

The proposed Joliet mental health facility, which could be staffed and operational by 2016, will provide just over 300 beds for male inmates.

Design plans include renovations to all eight dormitories to accommodate health care needs, upgrading the existing sally port and lock systems, improving suicide prevention conditions, and replacing an inoperable heating and air conditioning system.

While IDOC already has secured funding for construction, including $17 million for Joliet, the state agency still has to ask lawmakers for an additional $62 million to hire the estimated 500-plus employees at the four facilities.

Shaer said DOC plans to seek supplemental appropriations, but that its timing will be decided by the governor’s budget office.

Because IYC-Joliet won’t be staffed and operational until 2016, state Sen. Pat McGuire,

Shaw Media file photo

The shuttered Illinois Youth Center in Joliet is shown in 2014. The McDonough Street building was closed because of budget cuts.

D-Joliet, said this week it’s likely that additional funding won’t be needed until then.

“It’s my hunch that the money to staff Joliet won’t be needed until then,” he said.

In the meantime, McGuire said, he will continue to push in Springfield for the $30 million in operating costs needed for the Joliet facility.

“It is my hope that with the right services, these inmates will eventually return to society,” he said. “This is an investment in public safety.”

The department plans to advertise for construction bids Dec. 1. Once construction bids are reviewed and accepted, construction will begin, Shaer said.

JOLIET – About 400 jobs could be created at the Illinois Youth Center in Joliet in the next two years under the state’s plans to turn the shuttered McDonough Street building into a facility for mentally ill inmates.

When IYC-Joliet closed its doors last year as part of the state’s budget cutbacks, more than 200 people lost their jobs or were transferred elsewhere.

Under the state’s plan, with additional training, people who were let go last year will have first dibs on the newly created jobs.

The state has yet to outline how it would fund operations at IYC-Joliet and three other locations to be converted into facilities for mentally ill inmates.

But the plan for IYC-Joliet is to hire more than 300 correctional officers, sergeants, lieutenants and shift supervisors along with more than 50 qualified mental health professionals, behavioral health technicians, registered nurses and psychiatrists, said DOC spokesman Tom Shaer.

The state also will hire clerical staff, clinical services staff, educational staff, health staff and a chaplain, Shaer said.

Other jobs include various administrative and supervisory roles.

IDOC is under pressure from a federal lawsuit to improve conditions for its population of inmates with severe mental illnesses. The lawsuit in question alleges the state failed to provide adequate

The Coal City Fire Protection District fought a garage fire from the exterior while trying to save nearby structures, such as a shed, from more damage.

“Fire companies did a great job extinguishing this difficult blaze due to limited water supply at the scene,” said Fire Chief James Sheldon. “Thankfully, no injuries were reported.”

Coal City was assisted by Wilmington, Morris, Gard-

ner, Channahon, Braidwood, Manhattan, Braceville, South Wilmington, East Joliet, Troy, Dwight and Elwood fire departments as well as the Grundy County Emergency Management, MABAS 15 Re-Hab, and Grundy County Sheriff’s Department.

ICC delays Clean Line project vote

Line Energy Partners.

“Several things on the agenda were held,” she said.

“It’s not uncommon for the commission to hold off on these types of decisions.”

Rock Island Clean Line has proposed constructing a $300 million converter station in Grundy County. The station would be the ending point for a 500-mile direct-current energy transmission line.

The line would pipe wind energy from Iowa to Grundy County, where the energy could be converted into alternate-current electricity and injected into the power grid, serving Chicago and the East Coast.

Before reaching the station, the transmission line would cut through numerous Illinois and Iowa farms, including

some in Grundy County.

The fate of the $2 billion project rests with the ICC. According to the ICC office, the vote was held off to provide more time for review.

Numerous landowners, organizations such as the Illinois Farm Bureau and politicians including state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, have spoken publicly in opposition to the project because of the effect on farm land.

Grundy County’s role is tied to the converter station, which would be located in Channahon if approved. On Monday, the Grundy County Board approved a tax abatement for the project, following the village of Channahon, Morris Community High School District and the Saratoga Grade School District.

GOOSE LAKE – The Coal City Fire Protection District responded to a structure fire at 2000 N. Island Drive in Goose Lake just before 10 p.m.

Wednesday.

“Firefighters arriving on the scene saw flames from the roof of a large garage,” said Lt. Nick Doerfler, Coal City Fire Protection District public information officer.

A news release said that because of a heavy amount of fire, an exterior attack was initiated along with protecting surrounding buildings from further damage.

“They did a good job keeping it to the original structure,” Doerfler said. “They kept it from spreading to a nearby shed and the house.”

Mutual aid was called to assist because of the size of the fire as well as a need for more water at the scene to assist in putting it out.

Doerfler said the fire was investigated by the MABAS 15 fire investigators and that no cause was determined.

The fire caused more than $25,000 in damage.

EASLEY, S.C. – Alvin Dark, a player and manager on World Series champions who sparked perhaps the most famous rally in baseball history, died Thursday. He was 92.

The Robinson Funeral Home in Easley, South Carolina, said Dark died at his home.

Dark was the 1948 Rookie of the Year and a three-time All-Star shortstop. He played alongside Willie Mays when the New York Giants won the 1954 title, and he guided Reggie Jackson and the Oakland Athletics to the 1974 crown.

Dark’s relationship with his Latin players proved a source of friction during his time as manager of the San Francisco Giants in the ’60s. He was said to have asked them to refrain from speaking Spanish at the ballpark – among the Latin stars on those teams were future Hall of Famers Orlando Cepeda and Juan Marichal, plus Felipe Alou.

Cepeda told The Associated Press in a phone interview Thursday that he often saw Dark in later years and “every time he saw me he felt very sorry for what he did to the Latino players.”

“He didn’t know our background or where we came from. I said, ‘Alvin, that’s in the past now, that’s in the past,’ ” Cepeda said. “I don’t have grudges against nobody.”

Cepeda said that as he got older, he could better appreci-

served in the Marines during World War II before becoming a major leaguer.

He played briefly for the Boston Braves in 1946, then hit .322 in 1948 and won the rookie award when there was only one selection from both leagues. The Braves reached the World Series that year for the first time in three decades, but lost to Cleveland.

Traded to the Giants, he helped them reach the 1951 Series and hit .417 in their loss to Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and the Yankees.

In the 1954 World Series, highlighted by Mays’ famed over-the-head catch, Dark hit .412 as the Giants swept Cleveland.

Dark played in the cele-

suburbs, Cicero/Berwyn, Bartlett, North Aurora and Joliet, five years in Tuscon, Arizona, and his final years in Princeton. He married his sweetheart, Joan Ann (Brichacek), in Cicero, in 1959.

Chuck was a proud Purdue alumni, and a skilled and caring Pharmacist for over 50 years. He worked for multiple pharmacy companies and owned his own drugstore (Westgate) in Joliet for eight years, with passion and compassion.

His love of his Boilermakers was always evident with his multiple hats and clothing. He was a

diehard Chicago sports fan. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing poker with his friends, board games with his family, watching his kids and grandkids at their activities and cheering his sports teams. He took pride in serving his church as both a lecture and Eucharistic minister.

He was loving husband, father and grandfather. Clearly the love of his life was his beautiful and special wife, Joan, who together enjoyed 55 wonderful years. He also had great pride and love for their four children, Deborah (Jim) Prebula of Pecatonica, Drs. Mark

(Beth Ann) Wagner of Indianapolis, IN, Denise (Tom) Woolley of Princeton, and Michael (Nicole) Wagner of Plainfield; eight grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and two step grandchildren. He is survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and their families as well as many wonderful friends.

He will always be remembered for his powerful and inspiring voice, as well as his beautiful laugh and smile that would light up the room and warm our hearts.

He is preceded in death by his parents; sister, June Buchanan; brothers, Earl Jr. and Albert.

The New York Giants’ Alvin Dark slides safely across home plate as Cincinnati Reds catcher Dixie Howell cannot handle the throw on an inside-the-park home run during a game June 24, 1950, at the Polo Grounds in New York.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – A fan who befriended former New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and became a press box fixture for more than 30 years known as “Bill the Baker,” has died. He was 67.

The Yankees said Bill Stimers died Thursday at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale in the Bronx. They did not give a cause of death.

Stimers worked for Entenmann’s Bakery and first met Steinbrenner in the mid-1970s outside Yankee Stadium.

Stimers often gave him chocolate chip cookies and impressed the bombastic boss with his encyclopedic knowledge of baseball.

Steinbrenner later gave Stimers a seat in the press box.

Over the years, Stimers traveled with the team as Steinbrenner’s good-luck charm.

Stimers remained a stadium regular when the Yankees moved to their new ballpark across the street in 2009.

Steinbrenner died in 2010 and the team kept giving Stimers a seat, often in the stands.

ate the baseball advice Dark imparted to his players.

“He was ahead of his time,” Cepeda said. “He was a great baseball man. He made me play hard, because he said I had so much talent.”

In 1951, Dark was team captain when the Giants trailed the Brooklyn Dodgers, 4-1, in the bottom of the ninth inning in the deciding Game 3 of their NL pennant playoff.

Dark hit a leadoff single against Don Newcombe, and Bobby Thomson capped the comeback at the Polo Grounds with a home run that became known as “The Shot Heard ’Round the World” for a 5-4 win.

Dark was a star runner, passer and punter at LSU and

brated “Willie, Mickey and the Duke” era of New York baseball in the 1950s, when the Giants, Yankees and Dodgers ruled. Along with Mays, Mantle and Duke Snider in center field, the city had three quality shortstops – Dark, plus future Hall of Famers Pee Wee Reese of the Dodgers and Phil Rizzuto of the Yankees.

Dark hit .289 with 126 home runs in 14 seasons with the Braves, Giants, St. Louis, Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia.

In 1961, Dark began a managing career that spanned 13 seasons in which he went 994954 with the Giants, Kansas City and Oakland A’s, Cleveland and San Diego.

“Alvin was a true Giant and was a part of our rich history in the 1950s and 1960s,” San Francisco CEO Larry Baer said in a statement.

Dark led the Giants to the 1962 pennant but lost the World Series in seven games to the Yankees. Dark took over the Athletics in 1974 and guided them to their third straight Series title that season.

He managed San Diego for the second half of the 1977 season, then was fired during spring training in 1978 after saying he wanted to make several big moves, including putting newcomer Ozzie Smith at shortstop.

Dark worked with minor leaguers in the Cubs and White Sox organizations and moved to South Carolina in the early 1980s.

Governor-elect Rauner meets top Democratic leaders

CHICAGO – Republican Governor-elect Bruce Rauner has met with top Democratic legislative leaders House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton.

The trio met for about two hours Thursday at the private Chicago Club.

Madigan’s spokesman Steve Brown said it was a “productive” meeting. He said Madigan plans to “work professionally” with Rauner and the challenge going forward is the budget.

Cullerton’s spokesman John Patterson said it was a “forward-looking” meeting.

Rauner’s spokesman said it was “positive” and he wants to find bipartisan solutions for Illinois’ problems.

Rauner ousted Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in last week’s election.

Next Chicago archbishop arrives in new hometown

CHICAGO – The next archbishop of Chicago has arrived in his new hometown with little fanfare and wheeling his own carry-on bag.

Blase Cupich arrived Thursday at O’Hare International Airport.

He greeted journalists, saying he’s looking forward to serving and will try to get to know his parishioners.

He said Mayor Rahm Emanuel has planned a “small” reception for him next week for 300 people. He joked that 300 “is small in Chicago.”

The 65-year-old Cupich will be installed as the successor to Cardinal Francis George on Tuesday.

He most recently served as bishop of Spokane, Washington. He’s

Lawmakers want federal site named for Lane Evans

SPRINGFIELD – A bipartisan effort by Illinois members of Congress is underway to name a federal building for the late U.S. Rep. Lane Evans.

U.S. Sens. Mark Kirk and Dick Durbin and U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos introduced legislation Thursday to name a Galesburg veterans facility the Lane A. Evans VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic.

Evans died Nov. 5 at age 63 after battling Parkinson’s dis-

ease. The Democrat was known through a 20-year career as a champion of military veterans.

Kirk – a Republican – said Evans’ work for veterans focused on removing the “stigma that surrounds combat-based injury and illness.”Durbin and Bustos are Democrats.

Evans was from Rock Island and joined the U.S. Marine Corps at age 17. He was elected to Congress in 1982, serving 12 terms.

Police: Man charged in Chicago police officer shooting

CHICAGO – A Riverdale man has been charged with shooting an off-duty Chicago police officer and her daughter during a domestic dispute.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported police said Anthony Gates, 28, was charged

Wednesday with two counts of first-degree attempted murder and two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm. Police said Gates is the daughter’s boyfriend and opened fire during a dispute Tuesday at her home in the South Shore area.

Authorities said 49-year-old Officer Samella Ramirez was critically shot in the face, neck and forearms. She was hospitalized and her condition was unclear early Thursday. Police said Gates shot her 21-year-old daughter in the leg.

Ramirez is a 24-year veteran of the department.

Danville teenager makes food baskets for 100 families

DANVILLE – A Danville-area teenager is preparing Thanksgiving baskets for 100 needy

families – and helping fill a void in her own life.

Cassidy Bryant is a 15-year-old sophomore at Bismarck-Henning High School. The News-Gazette said she accepted the challenge while attending a conference last summer with her youth group at Second Church of Christ in Danville.

Bryant is an honor student and athlete who baby-sits after school. A bake sale raised money for turkeys and pies.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Oil and politics: A senator Monday, prosecutors said Vafeades, now 54, lured the women scraps for survival WASHINGTON – In a blend of crude oil and raw politics, Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu scrapped on Thursday for converts among fellow Democrats for legislation to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline before a runoff election that threatens to end her career in Congress.

The White House said President Barack Obama took a “dim view” of the bill but did not explicitly threaten a veto. Even so, Senate Democratic officials said the party’s leadership agreed to give Landrieu room to try and pass the measure only after receiving assurances Obama would not sign it.

The maneuvering took place as House Republicans readied a vote Friday on their own identical pipeline bill – advanced by Rep. Bill Cassidy, Landrieu’s rival in the Dec. 6 runoff. Landrieu led in a first round of voting last week, but Cassidy is favored to win the runoff, leaving Landrieu in need of a way to shake up the race.

Utah trucker accused of keeping more sex slaves

SALT LAKE CITY – A Utah truck driver accused of keeping two women as sex slaves in his semitrailer as he traveled the country had four more victims, federal prosecutors said in court documents.

Some of the new accusations against defendant Timothy Jay Vafeades date back 20 years.

In two of the new incidents detailed in the documents filed

to his truck, then forcibly altered their appearances and ground down their teeth while holding them prisoner for months.

Vafeades met one of the women when he was a hospice patient and married her. He began assaulting her after she agreed to go to Utah with him and continued until she escaped about six months later, the documents state.

Obama seeks human rights waiver on war funds WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has asked Congress repeatedly to exempt its military effort against the Islamic State from a longstanding ban on U.S. aid to torturers and war criminals, highlighting doubts about finding “clean” American allies in a region filled with ethnic animosity and religious extremism.

The latest proposal is included in a Nov. 10 request to Congress for $1.6 billion to train Iraqi and Kurdish forces to fight IS as part of a $5.6 billion request to expand the U.S. mission in Iraq.

The proposal sets up a fight with key Senate Democrats, who blocked two earlier requests for such an exemption, according to documents and interviews.

The 1997 Leahy Law, named after Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, bars the U.S. from funding military units suspected of “gross human rights violations,” which include murder, torture and extrajudicial imprisonment.

The combination photo of separate images taken with the CIVA camera system released by the European Space Agency ESA on Thursday shows Rosetta’s lander Philae (in the lower edge of the image) as it is safely on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Space agency: Comet lander ends up parked in cliff shadow

By FRANK JORDANS The Associated Press BERLIN – A shadow was cast – literally – across Europe’s historic mission to land on and explore a comet. Scientists said Thursday the landing craft not only bounced twice, it also came to rest next to a cliff that’s blocking sunlight from its solar panels.

The good news is the lander Philae is stable and in good health: Its scientific instruments have already begun gathering reams of data to send back to Earth, including the first pictures taken from the surface of a comet.

The bad news is its useful lifetime may now be much shorter.

With just a day or two left before the lander’s primary battery is exhausted, scientists were considering what acrobatic maneuvers to risk in order to get the solar panels out of the shadows so they can keep Philae going for a few more months.

The first photos sent back to Earth revealed the comet’s rocky terrain, including an image that showed one of the lander’s three feet in the

corner of the frame. They indicate that Philae’s instruments are working properly, said Jean-Pierre Bibring, the lander’s lead scientist at the European Space Agency.

Before deciding whether to try to adjust the lander, scientists will spend the next day or two collecting as much data as possible while its primary battery still has energy. The lander’s solar panels were designed to provide an extra hour of battery life each day after that, but this may not be possible now.

“We see that we get less solar power than we planned for,” said Koen Geurts of the lander team.

“This, of course, has an impact on our ... capabilities to conduct science for an extended period of time,” he said.

“Unfortunately this is not a situation that we were hoping for.”

The lander scored a cosmic first Wednesday, touching down on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko after a decade-long, 4 billion-mile journey through space aboard its mother ship, Rosetta. The comet is streaking through space at 41,000 mph some 311

million miles from Earth.

The landing was beset by a series of problems that began when thrusters meant to push Philae onto the comet failed.

Then two harpoons, which should have anchored the lander to the surface, weren’t deployed.

This caused the lander to bounce off the comet and drift through the void for two hours before touching down again. After a second smaller bounce, scientists believe it came to rest in a shallow crater on the comet’s 2½ milewide body, or nucleus.

“We are just in the shadow of a cliff,” Bibring said, adding that photos indicate the cliff could be just a few yards away. “We are in a shadow permanently, and that is part of the problem.”

Bibring and his colleagues stressed that the data they’ll be able to collect with the primary batteries alone will have made the landing worthwhile.

“A lot of science is getting covered now,” he said, noting scientists soon will get their hands on a tomography of the comet and data showing whether the matter it is made of is magnetized.

IS, al-Qaida reach accord in Syria

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, November 14, 2014

20 AP sources:

ISTANBUL – Militant leaders from the Islamic State group and al-Qaida gathered at a farm house in northern Syria last week and agreed on a plan to stop fighting each other and work together against their opponents, a high-level Syrian opposition official and a rebel commander have told The Associated Press.

Such an accord could present new difficulties for Washington’s strategy against the IS group. While warplanes from a U.S.-led coalition strike militants from the air, the Obama administration has counted on arming “moderate” rebel factions to push them back on the ground.

Those rebels, already considered relatively weak and disorganized, would face far stronger opposition if the two heavy-hitting militant groups are working together.

IS – the group that has seized nearly a third of Syria and Iraq with a campaign of brutality and beheadings this year – and al-Qaida’s affiliate in Syria, known as the Nusra Front, have fought each other bitterly for more than a year to dominate the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The Associated Press reported late last month on signs that the two groups appear to have curtailed their feud with informal local truces. Their new agreement, according to the sources in rebel groups opposed to both IS and Nusra Front, would involve a promise to stop fighting and team up in attacks in some areas of northern Syria.

Cooperation, however, would fall short of unifying the rival groups, and experts believe any pact between the two sides easily could unravel. U.S. intelligence officials have been watching the groups closely and say a full merger is not expected soon – if ever.

President Barack Obama meets with Myanmar’s President Thein Sein on Thursday at the Presidential Palace in Naypyitaw, Myanmar.

Obama, Suu Kyi meet as Myanmar hero shifts role

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press YANGON, Myanmar – When President Barack Obama meets with Myanmar’s opposition icon Aung San Suu Kyi on Friday, he will encounter a figure in the midst of an evolution he finds familiar: the shift from history-making trailblazer to establishment politician.

Four years after being released from house arrest, Suu Kyi is now a member of Myanmar’s Parliament and has been pushing for changes to a constitutional provision that is blocking her path to the presidency. Although the 69-year-old Suu Kyi remains beloved by many in this long-isolated Southeast Asian nation, however, she’s come under criticism for failing to take a tougher line against the country’s former military leaders and for staying largely silent about the abuse of Muslim minorities that could jeopardize Myanmar’s fitful move toward democracy.

“Mahatma Gandhi unequivocally denounced all forms of intolerance and so

did Nelson Mandela,” Jody Williams, a Nobel Prize-winning American human rights activist, said of two figures with whom Suu Kyi often is compared. “If she wants to lead the country, help it develop, she has to do the same.”

Rights activists have suggested that Suu Kyi’s caution reflects her fears of alienating military lawmakers who still control a quarter of the seats in Parliament. Obama administration officials agree some of her decisions appear to be driven by political motivations, particularly her reluctance to address the plight of the Rohingya Muslims who are deeply disdained by most people in Myanmar.

Obama and Suu Kyi met briefly Thursday on the sidelines of a regional summit in Naypyitaw, the capital city that Myanmar’s former military leaders secretly built in the middle of the jungle in the early 2000s. The city has the lush hotels and impressive public buildings of a modern capital, but its vast empty spaces and eerily empty multilane highways have led to its reputation as a ghost town.

Obama flew to the city of Yangon to hold more substantial talks Friday with Suu Kyi at the lakeside home where she spent much of her confinement. The U.S. president often has spoken of his admiration for her, heralding the “unbreakable courage and determination” of his fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate during his first trip to Myanmar in 2012.

The White House also has gone out of its way to promote Suu Kyi in its overtures to Myanmar, with Obama notably holding his news conference on this trip with the opposition leader, not the country’s president, Thein Sein.

Obama’s own compelling personal history includes none of the hardships endured

by Suu Kyi, who was confined for more than two decades and whose father, the founder of the Burmese Independence Army, was assassinated. But Obama – whose election as America’s first black president was seen as a precursor to broader political changes in Washington – shares with Suu Kyi the experience of having sky-high expectations deflated amid political realities.

WASHINGTON – The Associated Press discovered significant discrepancies between financial records and what a Chinese company backed by U.S. banking giant Morgan Stanley reported as part of its $654 million stock offering. Issues of murky financial information and lax oversight have become increasingly important as U.S. mutual funds and pension funds invest more regularly in Chinese companies.

The disarray in Tianhe’s official story calls into question Morgan Stanley’s roles in shepherding, then promoting, then defending Tianhe – which one of the bank’s investment funds partially owns – as a major international stock offering in Hong Kong. For the bank and fellow Tianhe underwriters Bank of America Merrill Lynch and UBS AG, trouble at Tianhe could mean reputational and legal trouble.

For U.S. investors, the story of Tianhe highlights the unusual risks that can come with China’s rapidly opening markets.

As investment banks bring new mainland Chinese stock offerings to market, billions of dollars of such holdings are entering of U.S. investors’ portfolios through pension and mutual funds.

“Accounting fraud in the U.S. is usually from the overly aggressive application of an accounting principle,” said Paul Gillis, a professor at Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management. “Accounting fraud in China has usually been situations where large portions of the business simply do not exist.”

Tianhe Chemicals Group Ltd. manufactures lubricants and sophisticated chemicals used to fight fires and toughen touchscreens. The AP began its review of the company after allegations arose about the firm from a shadowy investment research group tied to people betting against Tianhe’s stock. The group said the company had vastly overstated the size and profitability of its business.

The Herald-News Editorial Board Bob Wall, Denise Baran-Unland, Hannah Kohut, Bob Okon and Kate Schott

OUR VIEW

Thumbs-up to honoring veterans The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-up and thumbs-down: Thumbs-up: to the students in 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, where 93-year-old Donald Woodard was finally given his diploma. Woodard never received his diploma, because he left to fight in World War II. How great is it to see teenagers set out to honor someone who so richly deserved it? We also salute the many organizations that held Veterans Day ceremonies or events this week. Whether it was schoolchildren bringing relatives who were veterans to Troy Middle School, ceremonies at the courthouses in both Will and Grundy counties, or any of the other events held Tuesday throughout our area, it was wonderful to see our area come out to honor those who sacrificed so much for the United States.

Thumbs-down: regarding the state of electronics recycling in Illinois. Dean Olson, resource recovery and energy director in Will County, warns that local electronic recycling program is in jeopardy because the state funding formula is no longer adequate. The state requires that TVs and other electronic devices be recycled.

Olson said programs in two nearby counties have already shut down. This situation needs to be cleared up before people are stuck with old TVs and nowhere to dump them but places they shouldn’t.

Thumbs-up: to the parishioners at the Church of St. Anthony in Joliet and to its administrator, the Rev. Michael Valente, for preserving a piece of downtown Joliet history. The church, built in 1858 and first owned by First Baptist of Joliet, has undergone transformations through the years, but it’s still home to a thriving and active membership. With an eye to the future, Valente and his people have ensured repairs and maintenance are up-to-date so the church can continue to serve future generations of Catholics.

Thumbs-down: to the early Arctic chill. With temperatures far below normal for this time of year, remember to look out for your neighbors, the elderly and your pets, as some people may not be prepared for the early onslaught of cold weather. Also, be safe when using space heaters.

According to the U.S Fire Administration, heating fires are the second leading cause of house fires. The UFSA recommends turning heaters off when you leave a room and keeping flammable items at least three feet away. Let’s stay warm, but safe, during this early winter.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE To the Editor:

I just don’t understand the America way of thinking. We put sports people, actors, musicians and the wealthy on a pedestal and think they are special. They all make millions doing what they love. Yet us, the little people, who are the backbone of our country, sit by and settle for little or nothing.

Sorry, I just don’t get it. I would think we laboring, hard-working folks who build this country would be able to enjoy life with at least making a fraction of what the entertainment side makes.

My thinking is, why are they so special? I would think we are. In my opinion there is something wrong with this picture.

I sure can’t change things alone.

This is why I write once in awhile – it makes me feel just maybe someone is listening. I sure hope I live long enough to see the American working class stand up and say to those in charge: “We are special.

We want a fair chance to live the American Dream.”

Just what is it going to take for us to wake up? Say you are special.

Start standing up for the real working people. We have to stand up for us, because it is clear our government is for all the wealthy. $10 an hour for minimum wage, whoa big deal.

Love our country dissatisfied with all government.

God Bless us all, as we need help from somewhere.

SHIP IS STARTING TO TURN AROUND

To the Editor:

Well, folks, you did it. Hopefully, we have begun the first step in turning our big ship of freedom around.

I want to thank you for giving us a leg up in restoring the freedom we all want to enjoy and deserve.

But the ship needs to set a new course, and we need to start thinking seriously about 2016.

As much as I would like to see a female in the White House, I don’t want one who is a bigger “secular progressive liberal” than what we have already.

We also have a lot more house cleaning ahead of us here in Illinois.

2011 championship, Mater Dei beat St. Francis in the semifinals. In 2012 and 2013, St. Francis took the title without having to face either team at state.

Christine Scheibe has coached three JCA state cham-

seen one other this season, the outcome also will depend on scouting, sticking to the game plan and who wants to win more.

The desire for another state championship will also motivate Mater Dei and St. Francis.

St. Francis (36-4) has won two consecutive Class 3A state titles and has the firepower to win a third. Molly Haggerty earned 381 kills, most out of any player remaining in Class 3A. Kamryn Malloy and Mary pionship teams (2003, 2008, Boken also have posted strong 2009), while this is the first state attacking numbers with 220 appearance for Montini (23-11). and 201 kills, respectively.

Despite the inexperience, the Even though the Spartans Broncos are a threat because have one of Illinois’ top outside they played a similar schedule hitters in Haggerty, they will to JCA’s and fared well. not have an easy task in beatSince the teams have not ing Mater Dei. The Knights

have well-rounded players.

Mater Dei (37-3) has two hitters who have more than 200 kills and three others with more than 100. Setter/ right side Madi Haake leads the Knights with 245 kills, 30 blocks, 48 aces, 478 assists and 353 digs. They are solid defensively behind Lauren Donnewald’s 114 blocks and Taylor Luebbers’ 434 digs.

If St. Francis and JCA (2416) both win their semifinal matches, it would be the first time they have met at state since 2006. Starting in 2007, the teams have faced each other in sectionals or supersectionals.

“It is nice to have the opportunity to actually meet [St. Francis] down at state,” Scheibe said. “There have been years where we have been two of the best teams in 3A and only one of us makes it down there “In 2008, 2009, those were state championship games that we won that were played before the state championship.

In 2011 and 2012, those were games that they won before going down to state, but I thought that we deserved to be down there also.

“It is nice to get the opportunity to play them at the end of the season where it should be played. I know that it can’t always work out that way, but it’s nice to get that opportunity this year.”

Christine Scheibe, Joliet Catholic Academy girls volleyball coach, on facing Wheaton St. Francis in the Class 3A state finals

• Friday, November 14, 2014

JOLIET – The only thing standing in Joliet Catholic’s way of another 3A state girls volleyball title is two victories.

JCA will have to play near-perfect volleyball to beat two teams, Montini and either Wheaton St. Francis or Breese Mater Dei, to win state for the fourth time since 2003.

To defeat Montini in Friday’s 4:30 p.m. semifinal at Redbird Arena on the Illinois State University campus in Normal, the Angels’ defense must contain outside hitters Monica Loftus (287 kills) and Mary Bowe (226 kills). If JCA serves aggressively and forces the Broncos out of system, the Angels can focus on the two dominant hitters.

Montini and Joliet Catholic both have three players who tallied more than 200 digs, so on paper, the teams appear to be equal defensively. Libero Megan Cladis, who leads the Angels and both teams with 266 digs, Mallory Krzysciak (230 digs) and Megan Melone (200) will focus on limiting the outsides’ success while the Broncos have to defend the whole net.

If the Angels have effective offense across the board from setter/right side Mary Murphy (303 kills), outside hitters Madeline Grimm (207 kills) and Taylor Zurliene (102 kills), middles Maddie Naal (141 kills) and Addy Alt (79 kills) and right side Nicole Witmer (101 kills), they should win.

Joliet Catholic also might do well since the program has more experience playing at state.

Three of the four semifinalists are commonly mentioned schools in Class 3A volleyball.

St. Francis, Mater Dei and JCA have gone head-to-head downstate in recent seasons.

The Angels beat Mater Dei in the 2008 semifinals and 2009 finals. Mater Dei beat JCA in the 2010 final. En route to the

Keys to victory – avoid turnovers, penalties Last week, we discussed how it was possible, though unlikely, the Joliet area would go 9-0 in Round 2 of the playoffs.

Unlikely because in every game but perhaps one, you could envision a scenario where either side could win.

So for everyone to survive except Joliet Catholic and Lincoln-Way West, two of our best teams all season, that counts as a successful weekend.

On to the quarterfinals, where our seven survivors all will be playing Saturday.

Many of our schools will face opponents with rich playoff traditions (see the preview capsules in this section), and all of them are facing teams that are just plain good.

Our teams are strong enough to go 7-0, but again, that is not likely when most of the games shape up as near-tossups.

When you have that situation, turnovers could be the No. 1 determining factor in the outcomes, with penalties

VIEWS Dick Goss 1A. Predicting which side will win the turnover battle, and which will avoid the crushing penalties, that’s difficult.

Our games of interest are Bolingbrook (7-3) at Homewood-Flossmoor (8-2) in 8A, Wheaton Warrenville South (7-4) at Providence (10-1) and Lincoln-Way East (10-1) at Mount Carmel (7-4) in 7A, Lemont (11-0) at Richards (10-1) in 6A, Morris (7-4) at Peoria (10-1) in 5A, Manteno (10-1) at Coal City (9-2) in 4A and St. Joseph-Ogden (10-1) at Wilmington (11-0) in 3A. Last week, St. Joseph-Ogden’s Cole Berry, who is committed to the Eastern Illinois baseball team as a pitcher, intercepted three passes and recovered a fumble. That was huge in the Spartans winning, 41-14, against Tolono Unity, which had beaten them, 35-7,

Oct. 17. That’s the role turnovers can play in determining outcomes.

In Bolingbrook’s 31-28 overtime victory last week over Oswego, Adam Klein kicked the game-winning field goal after the Raiders’ defense came up huge. Quincy Woods tipped a pass that Tuf Borland intercepted on the second play of Oswego’s possession, putting the offense in position to win with a field goal or touchdown.

My feeling is Providence will take care of business against Wheaton Warrenville South. However, if the Celtics don’t value the ball, or if it’s close down the stretch for some other reason, watch out for the Tigers.

In Wheaton Warrenville South’s 17-10 overtime victory over Lincoln-Way North in Round 1 of the playoffs, Tigers quarterback Josh Prueter quickly lined up his offense, took the snap and spiked the ball as time expired on the scoreboard.

However, the officials decided it was proper to put a second back on the clock, and the Tigers kicked the tying field goal to force overtime, then won in the extra session.

Wheaton Warrenville South started 1-4, albeit against a murderous schedule, and finished the regular season with four straight victories, every one of which was needed to qualify for the playoffs.

In Week 9, Wheaton Warrenville South was facing Naperville Central, which is alive in the 8A bracket. With the score tied at 20 and just over a minute remaining, the Tigers were facing a thirdand-13 and their 3-yard line. If Naperville Central got a stop and forced a punt, the Redhawks would have had time to move into field-goal range and perhaps win the game.

Instead, Jonathan Johnson broke free on a run for a first down at the 20. Then he fumbled. His teammate, Keishawn Watson, picked up the ball and

ran all the way for an unlikely winning touchdown with 58 seconds left for a 27-20 victory.

With those kinds of finishes on the Tigers’ resume, it is in Providence’s best interest to get out to a lead and not allow its opponent back into striking distance.

Again, it seems any or all of our teams can win Saturday.

But in any game where our team does not win the turnover battle, or gets flagged for one too many hurtful penalties, victory will be much more difficult to achieve.

Sometimes turnovers are the result of good defense, sometimes they come from mistakes by the offense or return teams. Penalties can be obvious or disputed, but either way, avoiding them is mandatory.

That’s the way it is when you get to the quarterfinals and every team remaining has plenty to offer.

BOLINGBROOK FOOTBALL

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

Michael DiNovo for Shaw Media

Bolingbrook’s Adam Klein drops back to pass Oct. 17 at Lincoln-Way East High School in Frankfort. it bettered the team. I don’t want to think that I was a one-position player. I want to be versatile and play every position on the field.

“My dad was a quarterback and went to USC and didn’t get the quarterback spot, and they wanted him to play

receiver. He wanted to play quarterback so badly that he forgot about playing receiver. That helped me learn to play at more positions and to be more versatile. It’s fun to play different positions, and I wouldn’t be able to do it without my team, my O-line and

said. “We have a lot of good athletes on both sides of the ball, and that definitely helps.

Every time we have a break, it’s ‘family.’ Everyone on our team is mature enough to know that it’s just about the team winning games and trying to get to state and not about you getting stats.”

The Raiders hope that their team-first mindset helps them avenge the earlier defeat to H-F in order to earn their fifth semifinal berth, and first since the 2011 championship season.

“What makes this such a great story is the unselfishness,” Ivlow said. “You’ve got a guy like Quincy who goes from touching the ball on every play last year to maybe touching it a fifth of the time.

We weren’t able throw the ball that well last year, so we wanted to make sure that it was a big part of our offense this year. We needed a guy who had an arm, and Adam had played quarterback and he was a senior, and you always like senior leadership.

“Our offense is maturing, but keep in mind that this is a new system that these guys have had to learn. Everyone has grasped it now, and that’s why I think that we’re playing some good offense against some pretty good teams.”

BOLINGBROOK – It’s rather unusual for a player to perform well as a team’s starting quarterback one season and then shift to a variety of roles the following year.

But that’s what Quincy Woods was asked to do this fall by contributing as a receiver, running back, defensive back, returner and quarterback while Adam Klein stepped in to take over regular quarterback duties. That’s helped 8-3 Bolingbrook reach the Class 8A quarterfinals, where it plays at 7 p.m Saturday at 9-2 Homewood-Flossmoor.

As far as both Klein and Woods are concerned, the move has helped to make the Raiders better.

That sentiment is shared by coach John Ivlow, who has plenty of experience on successful squads as both player and coach.

“My dad always told me don’t stick to one position and be able to play any position on the field,” Woods said. “So whatever position that I can help my team at, I try to play.

Maybe it wasn’t quarterback this year but it was receiver or cornerback, but whatever position I had to play, I’ve just done my best, and hopefully

without Adam throwing good balls to me. It comes down to trust that others will do their job, and they trust that I’m going to do my job. If everyone does their job, it just clicks.”

Klein, also a successful placekicker and punter, was called upon to step in for Woods to help the Raiders in their passing game, which took on a bigger part of the offensive attack.

“When Quincy got injured last year, I knew there would be an opportunity at quarterback, and when the coaches gave me the chance to play, I just had to go in and do my job and try to get better every day,” Klein said. “It’s been very exciting, but there have also been a lot of challenges, tough times and hard practices along the way, but it’s been worth it.”

The Raiders were 5-1 when they suffered two of their three defeats in back-to-back games against Homewood-Flossmoor (35-28) and Lincoln-Way East (23-9).

They’ve responded by winning their past three games, averaging nearly 36 points in those contests.

“Looking back, those two losses probably helped us the most all season since they made us work harder the next week in practice,” Klein

COAL CITY FOOTBALL

Coalers look to avenge loss to Manteno

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

COAL CITY – The last time Coal City’s football team met up with Manteno, the Interstate Eight Large division title was on the line. Coal City surrendered 311 yards in the first half to the Panthers before eventually dropping a tough 24-23 decision.

At 2 p.m. Saturday, the Coalers will get a chance to avenge that loss when they host Manteno, and the stakes are higher than a conference title. The winner gets a berth in the Class 4A semifinals, while the loser goes home.

Coal City (9-2) adjusted its defense at halftime of that Oct. 10 game and allowed only 68 yards in the second half.

In fact, since that fateful intermission, the Coalers have outscored their opponents, 164-44.

“I haven’t had to do a lot of motivation this week,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said.

“These kids remember that Manteno beat us out for the conference title. They would like nothing better than to send them home for the year.

“We played a team last week [St. Edward] that was pretty similar to Manteno, so we feel like we are pretty well prepared. We’ll just go out

Coal City senior Jack Dibble rushes the ball against Mendota on Oct. 31 in Coal City. there and get after it and see how it goes. Playing at home this time should be a help for us. Our crowd always plays a big part in our home games.”

While the defense has been busy shutting teams down, the offense has been upholding its own end, thanks in part to Jack Dibble. In the Coalers’ two playoff games alone, Dibble has rushed for 564 yards and nine touchdowns. So far, he has 2,230 yards and 28 touchdowns on the ground.

But Dibble hasn’t done it alone. In front of him is an offensive line consisting of left tackle Andrew Mathena, left guard Kurtis Smith, center Matt Long, right guard Alec Leasure and right tackle L.J.

Lightner.

“Those big guys up front have done a great job,” Onsen said. “And I can’t say enough about Jack [Dibble]. Coming back from two ACL injuries in two years, what he has done this year is just outstanding.

I am so happy for him. He has put in a ton of work.”

Quarterback Ethan Kaufman and running back Travone Done are the key weapons for the Panthers (101), who beat Evergreen Park, 48-19, in the first round of the playoffs and topped Dixon, 3521, last week.

Their only loss was 21-7 to unbeaten Wilmington in Week 9, which beat Coal City, 26-7, in Week 2.

WALKING IN HIS SHOES

Romeoville restaurant hosts charity screening of movie honoring servicemen and addressing loss IF YOU GO

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent

R

OMEOVILLE – During one of Chicago theatre and dance critic Lucia Mauro’s sojourns to her beloved Italy, she encountered a man at St. Peter’s Square in Rome. She noticed he was wearing an odd, tattered pair of shoes and struck up a conversation with him.

The young American from Louisiana was on a pilgrimage, taking a trip for his younger brother, who was killed by a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq. He was fulfilling his brother’s dream of traveling Europe.

“He never had the chance,” Mauro said of the ex-Marine’s dream of seeing the world, “so he put on his brother’s favorite shoes and vowed not to take them off until he visited all the sites his brother would have wanted to visit in and around Rome.”

His story stayed with Mauro. An author and screenwriter, Mauro later wrote a screenplay and made a short film based on that encounter.

The film, “In my Brother’s Shoes,” can be seen at a charity screening Sunday at Mongo McMichaels in Romeoville. The restaurant’s owner, former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Steve “Mongo” McMichaels, is hosting the screening.

Mauro said she is known for her roles as an award-winning theatre/ dance critic and arts and culture writer for the Chicago Tribune, Chicago magazine and Chicago public radio.

Mauro travels to Italy frequently and has lived and taught in Rome. On the day she met the young man from Louisiana, she was in Rome meeting potential actors and production staff for another film. His story moved her, and Mauro hopes the subsequent film will move others, as well.

When asked to review her own film, as she has reviewed countless plays in the past, Mauro said in an email that “’In My Brother’s Shoes” is a quietly moving snapshot of a Chicago man’s pilgrimage honoring his fallen Marine brother by wearing his combat boots on a trip to Rome.

“Gentle and naturalistic, without letting the stun-

ning vistas eclipse the main character’s profound interior journey, this gracious short film carries the viewer across time, space and our shared humanity,” she added. “It allows one to ponder the memory of a loved one while moving confidently toward the unexpected paths life takes us.”

The film is a tribute to servicemen and women and their loved ones, Mauro said, but it’s also about anyone who wants to honor a loved one while moving on with their life. An act of pure generosity is what Mauro said finally relieves her main character of his burdens.

“We’ve all experienced some kind of hardship, and it’s difficult to let go,” Mauro said. “It’s a universal message.”

Mauro said life’s hardships involve not only

losing someone special. They include illness, separations and the loss of friendships or homes.

“It stretches across so many categories,” Mauro said.

Mauro said the film’s lead actor, Danny McCarthy, is a New York City actor with roles in the television series “Blue Blood” and “Boardwalk Empire.” McCarthy has roots in Chicago theatre and is a longtime member of Chicago’s acclaimed “A Red Orchid Theatre.”

Mauro said she’s known him for years and even wrote her screenplay with him in mind for the lead.

“He’s an every man,” Mauro said of McCarthy, “and he’s very sweet and likeable. As I was writing, I was imagining what Danny would be thinking and how he would be performing it.”

and relies on a solid musical score written for the movie

by Italian composer Enzo De Rosa to carry the film’s mood and tenderness. It was filmed on location in Chicago and Rome, Mauro said, to convey the scope of the story.

There are some light-hearted scenes. One takes place in the character’s living room in Chicago. He and his father are watching a reality show and having a “funny improvisational conversation about how ridiculous the show is,” Mauro said.

Mauro plans to travel the country sharing the film with veterans’ groups and helping them raise money for their causes.

“I believe the message is so powerful and inspirational and healing,” Mauro said, “that I felt it needed to be seen by veterans and their family and friends.”

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Tell partner or tell yourself?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

David Sedaris, a humorist, comedian, writer and radio contributor, said, “Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it’s just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it.”

In bridge articles, the author hopes to cover all of the possibilities, but occasionally something will be overlooked, or there will be insufficient space to mention everything. Then the columnist will receive emails from readers who spot the error or omission.

However, players at the table make more mistakes, because they have limited time for analysis. Even then, finding the guilty party might not be easy. In today’s deal, who was responsible for letting four spades make?

West led the club ace, and East dropped the nine, starting a high-low with his doubleton. West cashed the club king and continued with the club queen, on which East discarded the diamond three. Now, though, West shifted to a heart. South won with his ace, played a spade to dummy’s ace, overtook the spade queen with his king, drew the rest of East’s trumps and ran the hearts to eliminate his diamond loser.

East pointed out that he had pitched his higher diamond spot, asking for a switch to that suit. West replied that the three did not look high. Why hadn’t East thrown the heart six?

West would have known that was low because East had to have higher hearts available.

With whom do you agree?

West’s comments were accurate as far as they went. But East had a much better play. He should have ruffed the club queen at trick three and cashed his diamond ace.

Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology issued new statin-prescribing guidelines in November 2013. Until then, doctors prescribed statins to reach specific cholesterol goals or targets.

Instead, the new guidelines ask doctors to prescribe statins based on a patient’s overall heart and artery disease risk.

Specifically, the new guidelines recommend that patients in any of the following groups be treated with a statin: • People who already have heart or artery disease; • People with very high levels of LDL cholesterol (190 mg/dL or higher); • Anyone between the ages of 40 and 75 who has Type 2 diabetes; • Adults aged 40 to 75 years who have a heart disease or stroke risk of 7.5 percent or greater in the next 10 years. You can get a sense of your risk by using the AHA’s risk assessment tool at: heart.org/gglRisk/ main_en_US.html.

Of course, all drugs have some risk. Statins can cause muscle cramps and, rarely, more serious muscle injury and liver problems.

It’s a matter of balancing your personal risks and benefits. For most people covered by the new guidelines, I believe the benefits of statins are greater than the risks.

Although I don’t know the specifics in your case, I’ll bet the reason your doctor now is recommending statins is that you are at high risk for heart disease, even though your cholesterol levels are not particularly high. If so, I would agree.

ACROSS 1 Major

C H R O M E

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

C A P O N

Dear Doctor K: My doctor never recommended statins to me, but he says there are new guidelines, and thinks that I should now start taking one. What do you think of the new statin guidelines?

Dear Reader: The new guidelines make a lot of sense, because we’ve learned that statins have more effects on the body than just lowering cholesterol.

Statins were developed after a Nobel Prize-winning discovery in the 1970s revealed how the body makes cholesterol. Most of the cholesterol in our body is made by our body, not consumed in our food. Statins slow the production of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by the body.

In the 1980s, studies showed that statins dramatically lowered blood levels of LDL cholesterol and also lowered the risk of heart attack. At first, we assumed that the lower risk of heart attack was entirely explained by the lower cholesterol. That’s because we knew that people with high LDL cholesterol in their blood had higher rates of heart attack.

But then a large study conducted at Harvard Medical School found that statins profoundly lower the risk of heart attack, even in people with normal total and LDL cholesterol levels.

That’s because statins do more than just lower cholesterol. Heart attacks occur when cholesterol-filled plaques in the heart’s arteries rupture, causing a clot that blocks blood from getting to the heart. Inflammation inside the plaques causes them to rupture – and statins reduce inflammation.

This realization changed the way doctors think about statins. If statins lower the risk of heart attack even in people with normal cholesterol levels, then we should give them to people at high risk for heart attack – regardless of their cholesterol level.

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Hard work, dedication and determination will be required if you are going to reach your goals. This year can be a turning point if you ready yourself for the events that are about to unfold.

You will have the ability to pull things together and do whatever is asked of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Your mental agility will be at an all-time high. Your ability to communicate with others and articulate your ideas will be noticed. Pursue your professional goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Your need for excitement and adventure will be satisfied if you travel or get involved in forward-thinking groups.

New places and ideas will prove very stimulating, and will inspire a change in your professional direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You may be forced to deal with the affairs of your elders. If you haven’t left yourself enough time, your partner may be disgruntled. Somehow, you must find balance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Tension will cause confrontations with your mate. Get the trouble out in the open and have a frank, air-clearing discussion. Secret activities could damage your reputation. Be forewarned.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – One-sided romantic connections will only lead you astray. Keep your thoughts to yourself. This is not the time to rock the boat. Respect the politics that surround you at work.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – It’s a good day to take trips that will provide you with adventure and

cultural knowledge. Social gatherings will open doors to love connections. Now is the time to make a positive move.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Your refusal to listen to advice given by friends or relatives could be your downfall. Try to see your situation in terms of possibilities rather than limitations. Remain open.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Friends may be unhappy if you allow a new love to monopolize your time. Try to maintain balance in your life.

Don’t be too eager to get involved in joint financial ventures.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Heated arguments with loved ones may lead to changes in your home. Drastic reactions toward others will be detrimental. Keep your feelings to yourself. Be

careful to whom you lend money.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Your dramatic approach to emotional matters may alienate you from the ones you love. Adopt a more practical outlook with less melodrama. Be clear about your role in the situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Problems will surface if you have to deal with institutions. Put off meetings with your superiors until a more suitable time. Focus on detail and satisfying your needs first.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You can make major improvements if you set your mind to it. Someone you live with appears to be confused. Your ability to see situations from all sides and your need for balance and fairness should help.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Be wise in your choices this year. If you pick the right path, you can make your dreams come true. Plans and preparation are your strong points. Your strength of character will lead you in the direction you want to go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Stay out of the limelight. Someone may be trying to make you look bad. You need to regroup and consider who your friends are. Ferret out the information you need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t worry too much about a friend or relative who insists on meddling in your affairs. Just tell this person to mind his or her own business. You must respect yourself and your goals, and not allow anyone to interfere.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Your need to

make changes may appear to be out of character to your loved ones. Follow your heart. If you make your actions and motivations transparent, those around you will be able to understand you much better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A child or lover may demand special attention. Don’t give in too readily if you have made a prior commitment.

You must respect your needs as well. Postpone the purchase of luxury items at this time.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be careful with some of your health problems. Make an appointment with your doctor to check things out. Rest and relaxation will be in your best interest. If you have the wherewithal to take a vacation, do so.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – This is a good time for you to talk to potential partners, whether they be for business, romance or pleasure. Be careful not to overspend on entertainment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Difficulties with the finances of your family or those you live with will be unnerving. Figure out a way to deal with fiscal uncertainty. Your energy will be low, so get plenty of rest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Your conscious and subconscious minds may be at odds with one another. Do some soul searching in order to discover which path you should follow. Solitude will be beneficial.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Avoid financial ventures of any kind today. A friend or youngster in

your life may take drastic measures to get your attention. Try to understand what’s behind it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Disruptions beyond your control may ruin your regular routine. Be prepared to accept things as they unfold. Physical fitness programs will ease your tension.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You may not be able to handle the innuendos that a friend or relative is making. Ignore what he or she is saying and focus your attention elsewhere. You can accomplish great things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Empty promises are evident. Don’t quit your present job unless you have another one in the bag. Contracts will not be as lucrative as they appear. Read the fine print.

Real Life Adventures

Dear Abby: Thanksgiving is fast approaching and I would like to share some advice with your readers from someone who has volunteered in shelters for many years.

1. Please do NOT volunteer on Thanksgiving.

It’s the day most people volunteer, and there are always more volunteers than homeless people.

2. If you want to make donations, please drop them off a few days before or a few days after. It will allow the shelter time to store all the donations and to take an inventory of what is still needed.

3. Shelters need not only food, but also paper goods such as plates, napkins, toilet paper and plastic utensils.

4. Because refrigerator space is limited, don’t bring anything that must be refrigerated.

5. Most shelters pay rent, water, electric and telephone bills and lease office equipment, etc. A check or cash donation is ideal. It’s also tax deductible.

If in doubt, call ahead (at least a week in advance) and ask what is needed. –

Year-round Volunteer

Dear Volunteer: Kudos to you for so generously giving your time to help others who are in need. I’m sure my readers will appreciate your insight. Planning ahead and knowing what is needed make perfect sense.

Dear Abby: Our son and daughter-in-law were married last year at a courthouse. They are now planning a “real” wedding. Our daughter-in-law thinks we should pay for the rehearsal dinner, and my husband thinks he isn’t required to.

Please help with this dilemma. Are we expected to pay for a rehearsal dinner since they have been married a

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips year already? – Mother-in-

law in Ohio

Dear Mother-in-law: Celebrations of this kind are GIFTS. Regardless of what your daughter-inlaw is saying, they are not mandatory. While she may expect you to pay for the dinner, no rule of etiquette requires you to do it. Please tell your husband I said to hang onto his wallet.

Dear Abby: I’m writing you on behalf of a friend.

No matter where her husband is – at home, at a friend’s, walking into a store or walking around town – he’s always dropping his pants to tuck in his shirt. One of these days someone is going to think he’s flashing and have him arrested. His wife is afraid it will happen.

My friend has made comments to him about it, but he still continues. Please give me some advice because someone else may have the same problem, and it may save another family from this embarrassment. – A

Friend in St. Paul

Dear Friend: Your friend’s concerns are legitimate. A man dropping his pants in a public place is, to say the least, attention-getting. If his concern is really that his shirts creep up, suggest that your friend talk to a tailor – many cleaners have them in their shops – about how to prevent the problem from happening.

During a Minnesota winter, she could save him from catching pneumonia from the bottom up.
