Book explores ‘old Joliet’ through postcards Greetings from Joliet.

It’s not just a salutation anymore.

That’s the name of a postcard book co-authored by Jim Ridings and Greg Peerbolte, executive director of the Joliet Historical Museum.

The 256-page, all-color book takes a look at “old Joliet,” Peerbolte said, through the beautiful postcards that showcase the olden days of the city.

Peerbolte first told me about the book when we were seated at the same table for a luncheon and we discussed our shared love of history.

We’ve both now helped with a history book – Peerbolte co-authored this one about Joliet, and I edited a book by the DeKalb County Historical-Genealogical Society.

“I like technology, but I’m very old-school when it comes to books,” Peerbolte said (which, incidentally, is something I might say, too). “I like how inviting a book can be sitting on a coffee table.”

And we both also think, given all the talk about revitalizing and renovating downtown Joliet, “Greetings from Joliet” could serve as inspiration in that area.

“It’s a great gift. It’s approachable. It’s not an intimidating book,” Peerbolte said.

“You can flip through and see

VIEWS Kate Schott downtown as it used to be – and how it can be again.”

Peerbolte said the project started in late winter/early spring of this year. Ridings, a former newspaper reporter, said Peerbolte reached out to him about doing the book.

Ridings – who has authored similar books for Kankakee, Ottawa and Starved Rock — said all history appeals to him. Postcard books especially do, he said, because the images show many scenes of landmarks that are now gone, or where the use of buildings has changed.

The co-authors started by collecting images the museum had on file, then asking other entities – such as the Will County Historical Society, the Adelmann Collection at Lewis University and three or four private collectors – for any images they might have.

The book, Peerbolte said, is simple, as the images speak for themselves.

“I think we have every postcard from Joliet,” Peerbolte said.

Any profits from the book will go to the museum. Peerbolte said beyond being a help

The new postcard book “Greetings from Joliet” will arrive at the Joliet Historical Museum by early December. to the museum, he thinks the appeal of the book is that it represents a form of intimately personal communication.

“It was Twitter or text messaging back in the day,” he said. “You had a character count (what could fit on the back of the postcard). It kind of connects the old with the new.”

If you’re interested in

getting one, there is a limited run of 2,000 copies of the book, which is priced at $24.99.

Those who wish to pre-order it should be able to do so at www.jolietmuseum.org.

Delivery of the books is expected no later than the first week of December, and it will be available exclusively (at first) at the museum’s gift shop at 204 N. Ottawa St. in

Joliet.

Joliet budget makers waiting on news from Springfield

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The budget showdown in Springfield has slowed the city of Joliet budget process, although probably by just a week.

City Manager Jim Hock had planned to present a proposed budget this week, but said he wants more time to get a better idea of what kind of revenue Joliet will get from the state – and when it’s coming.

“I don’t know if I’m going to know much more in the next couple of weeks. I don’t think the state’s going to adopt a budget,” Hock said.

But reports from Springfield that the governor and Legislature could be close to

releasing millions owed to Joliet and other cities prompted Hock to push off the budget presentation for a Mayor Bob week.

O’Dekirk Hock said he will ask the City Council to schedule a special budget meeting the week of Nov. 22 to 27.

State Rep. Hock would Natalie not hint what Manley, might be in the D-Joliet proposed budget.

But Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said at a recent council meet-

ing that his conversations with Hock indicated the budget could include “drastic measures.”

Asked what those might be, O’Dekirk said Friday he was reluctant to offer specifics before a proposed budget is finalized. But he did say the threat of losing money to the state’s budget problems could be a factor.

“With what’s looming in Springfield, I think we’re looking at the budget differently than we had in the past because we’re not sure what we’re getting,” O’Dekirk said.

“We’re probably going to be more conservative.”

O’Dekirk said he did not expect any tax hikes, although the council has put off a pro-

posed increase in water and sewer rates.

That suggests any adjustments made to adapt to revenue losses related to Springfield would come in the form of budget cuts.

Meanwhile, in Springfield, the House last week approved a bill that would release the local shares of Motor Fuel Tax funds, casino taxes, video gaming taxes and 911 taxes that the state has been holding since July.

Joliet alone is waiting on $6.6 million. Joliet officials also are concerned about a proposal from Gov. Bruce Rauner to reduce the local share of state income taxes, which would cost Joliet another $6.7 million.

Before last week’s vote on House Bill 4305, Rauner’s ad-

ministration put out a memo suggesting he would support the measure. But Rauner and other Republicans also have proposed adding more spending to the bill for road salt and state-run veterans homes, among other things.

Democrats then put the bill on hold rather than sending it to the Senate for a vote.

State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, a co-chief sponsor of the bill, said there is concern about what could be added to the bill, which was intended to distribute tax dollars due to local municipalities.

“My understanding is they are holding it on postpone consideration because we don’t want anybody messing with it right now,” Manley said.

Plainfield businesses see need for Route 30 improvements

development Act in 1977.

In a TIF district, an area is selected based on a set of parameters determined by the act. The area must meet one of three main criteria: it’s economically blighted, historically valuable or has a high unemployment rate.

Then, after going through the application process with the state, the area’s collected property taxes are frozen, meaning any increase in prop-

erty tax amounts owed to the taxing bodies involved are put in a fund strictly to be used for redevelopment in the TIF district.

“One thing you can’t do with TIF is you can’t subsidize hard construction,” Village Planner Michael Garrigan said. “But you can fund infrastructure improvements, land purchases, hardscape improvements, aesthetics ... and a number of line items.”

Hopefully, as the area improves and attracts new development due to those improvements, the economic gain through redevelopment may outgrow the tax income lost to taxing bodies.

It’s not an overnight process. TIFs have a maximum lifespan of 23 years, with an option to extend another 12 years – if the state approved.

A separate TIF district established in 1998 has helped the village revitalize the downtown stretch of Lockport Street. Financially, it has provided the area with $5.5 million in tax revenue for improvements, which have more than doubled the equalized assessed value of the district, adding $4 million in worth.

The streetscape on Lockport Street has been drastically improved. Business fronts have been restored to its historical charm using facade grants available through the TIF funds over the years.

The few key properties that have stayed vacant through-

Need for redevelopment

Todd Dralle has been operating his business, Todd’s Auto Body, for 35 years in the Route 30 corridor.

“It definitely needs some help, but I think it’s coming,” Dralle said.

Dralle was talking about road construction underway on Route 30 to turn the twolane road into a four-lane road from I-55 to Renwick Road and into a three-lane road with a center turn lane from Renwick Road to Route 59.

The work is set to pause on the stretch of Route 30 that is currently closed between Renwick Road and Route 59, opening the revamped road for traffic through the winter.

Dralle also was talking about the prospect of a Costco anchoring the Boulevard property just northwest of the Route 30 and I-55 interchange.

Village officials stopped short of confirming they are in talks with Costco. But several signs have already pointed to

See ROUTE 30, page 4

PLAINFIELD – The first thing a visitor to Plainfield sees when driving north on Route 30 off Interstate 55 is some tattered side roads and boarded commercial buildings constructed half a century ago with disorganized parking rows.

There are some successful businesses in that economic corridor, but the area as a whole is blighted, according to Plainfield officials. And it isn’t what they want one of the main entrances into the village to look like.

“We don’t want to have empty buildings as people are coming into town and have them say, ‘Is this Plainfield?’ ” Mayor Michael Collins said.

The stretch of Route 30, locally known as Joliet Road or Lincoln Highway, between I-55 and Renwick Road has seen some improvements.

New Speedway and Shell gas stations are in the fold, along with recently renovated car dealerships. A relatively new Mega Sports is in the largest building in the 0.9-mile stretch of businesses, sticking out among other smaller buildings.

But it’s a space business owners and village officials have identified as being significantly in need of improvement.

The only question remaining is how those improvements will be funded.

The village is hoping a tax increment financing, or TIF, district enveloping most of the corridor can be the answer.

And officials are examining the viability of a TIF.

out the downtown TIF’s lifespan are starting to see some development, such as a complete reconstruction of the old trolley barn building that will house a security company and high retail lots off Lockport and Main streets, and the old Universalist church near the corner of Lockport Street and Route 59, which has plans to become a family pizza restaurant.

That same revitalization is what Garrigan wants to see along Route 30. Instead of looking at what other municipalities have done with TIFs, Garrigan said the village is looking at its own example.

“Our best example, you could argue, is downtown Plainfield,” Garrigan said.

“The way some of the properties were functionally obsolete, the TIF has allowed us to revitalize downtown.”

the wholesale giant coming to the village.

One resident said he was approached by a Costco representative at one of the village’s Cruise Nights who indicated the retailer would be coming to town.

“I don’t know if a TIF will help,” Dralle said. “It may or may not make a difference.”

The length of the TIF wasn’t a concern for Paul Jackson, owner of Off the Press Printing and Laser Engraving for the last 34 years, because he said he’ll probably retire before seeing the growth where his business is located.

“It’s probably good for the community to get a fresh facelift,” Jackson said.

But Jackson said the investment could raise property taxes in the area as it develops, potentially making it harder for the small businesses to keep up with rising rents.

Garrigan said the high traffic counts on Route 30 support revitalization efforts, and the proposed area of the TIF only encompasses spaces that aren’t recently improved.

S.B. Friedman, an advising group the village hired on a $78,200 contract, is helping the village identify potential future businesses in the target area along Route 30 from Renwick and Peerless Drive to Spangler Road, including the Boulevard property.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia. com

The area includes land along Route 30 from the intersection of Renwick Road and Peerless Drive to Spangler Road. It also includes a large blighted, undeveloped area bound between Renwick, Winding Creek Road, Spangler Road, Interstate 55 and the railroad tracks.

The village also incorporated plans for the proposed TIF district in its revised business plan, targeting developments such as clothing stores, coffee shops, multifamily homes and organic grocery stores as ideal potential occupants.

Getting back on track

The TIF designation process usually takes about a year. But Garrigan said com-

ments,” Collins said about preliminary discussions.

Plainfield School District 202 takes the largest percentage of property taxes in the village and would be most affected by the TIF district. But Superintendent Lane Abrell said he supports the village’s efforts in the Route 30 corridor.

“It’s always good about letting us have a seat at the table when those discussions occur,” Abrell said. “We kind of take the approach that the developing areas and parcels of land are going to help bring jobs to the area. We are always saying 50 percent for the school district is better than 100 percent of nothing in terms of the tax base.”

plications with the recently annexed Boulevard and Drum Farm property off Spangler Road have delayed the process.

“There’s a timeline set back ... making sure all issues are addressed,” Garrigan said, noting that the first public meetings on the TIF may start in January. “They are really housekeeping issues right now.”

And while the financial specifics of the TIF are still being determined, the largest concern for the village is making sure other taxing bodies are on board, including the school, library, park and fire districts.

Area schools concerned about funding

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com Not much attention is being paid to reforming how Illinois funds it schools as the state enters its fifth month without a budget.

One piece of proposed legislation – Senate Bill 1 – seeks to reform a system that was found by the Education Law Center of New Jersey and Rutgers University to be the nation’s second most regressive for public education funding.

But at the moment, the bill has not had much movement.

Neither chamber of the Legislature has voted on it.

“The whole focus right now has been our current budget situation,” said state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood.

Bertino-Tarrant sits on the state Senate’s Education Committee with state Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, who has sponsored Senate Bill 1.

The proposed bill would cre-

The bill revises Senate Bill 16 proposed in 2014, also known as the School Funding Reform

Act of 2014, which many school districts – including some locally – were against. That bill would have changed the state funding system by supplying more money to school districts in high-poverty communities.

It never was approved.

“Education funding is so difficult and so hard in our state to figure out that not many legislators are willing to tackle that. … Still, at the end of the day, it becomes a controversial issue because we talk about winners and losers,” Bertino-Tarrant said.

SB 1 would, according to the Illinois State Board of Education, create a formula that “combines a base amount for every student with additional funding weights for students who face academic challenges.

The results of the modeling indicate that a greater portion of state funding is equalized [providing greater funding for districts with greater financial need].”

State funding for school districts has been a source of frustration for many district officials, including those in Will and Grundy counties. as it has been prorated, or capped.

This year, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation for the state to continue funding

schools even with the budget not passed and raised the proration to 92 percent; it previously was funded at 89 percent.

Plainfield School District 202 officials expressed wariness about state funding and assumed in their budget for 2016 that it would be prorated at 85 percent. Superintendent Lane Abrell said he would prefer District 202 to be more reliant on property tax funding.

The best solution from the state would be to make funding more stable, District 202 spokesman Tom Hernandez stated in an email. He said it’s “a real problem” if the state promises to give a certain amount in funding but then distributes less.

“When that happens, it forces local governments to pull from other funding sources, reduce services, or raise fees or taxes to compensate,” Hernandez stated.

JJC hosts competition for eighth-grade engineers

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The directions were fairly simple for the about 100 eighth-grade students gathered Friday at Joliet Junior College to learn about fluid power technology: Spend the morning building a device that moves an object from one platform to the next using only fluid power.

Then, test it out in a competition.

That second part turned out to be more complicated than some students initially thought.

“We call it a challenge for a reason,” said Eric Lanke, CEO of the National Fluid Power Association, which hosted the skills-based competition centered on hydraulics and pneumatics for eighth-graders alongside JJC and Caterpillar.

Frank Breier, value technical steward at the Joliet Caterpillar plant, said the event, called the National Fluid Power Association Fluid Power

Lauren Leone-Cross – lleonecross@shawmedia.com

Sean Curran, 13, an eighth-grade student at Ira Jones Middle School, uses wood glue to piece together a hydraulic-powered device Friday at Joliet Junior College during the second annual National Fluid Power Association Fluid Power Challenge.

Challenge, is designed so students can learn about how fluid power works – not just in theory, but in practice.

“Fluid power is using a pump, a motor, a valve and a cylinder to create some mo-

tion and do some work,” Breier said.

The student-made, hydraulic-powered machines – crafted with wood, water-filled syringes, rubber bands and glue – failed more often than not,

but that didn’t deter students from cheering each other on.

Filling his syringe with water, Brady Forsythe, 14, of Manhattan, quickly realized his team’s clamping device was incapable of completing

a key first step in the process: picking up an object.

As the clock ran out, Forsythe yelled to his teammates, laughing, “At least we built it!”

“I’m surprised we were able to build this,” he said after the competition. “It was so fun.”

An all-girls team from Crone Middle School built the machine that picked up the most blocks and landed them on the highest platform – each worth five points.

Apurva Iyengar, 13, of Naperville said what helped her team was “our intent on perfection.”

“We worked so well together, too,” Iyengar said.

The event built on a previous workshop in September, where teams of students learned about how fluid power works, Lanke said.

Lanke said events like the one at JJC promote fun, hands-on education and gauges students’ interest in the science, technology, engineering and math fields.

Grundy County personnel committee questions State’s Attorney handbook 11

ing agreement and make sure everyone is on a level playing field. It will be revised. Right now we are using the policy that is in place.”

Geiger said after the meeting she appreciates that this happened, because now the human resources director knows to look at policies in place in various offices.

MORRIS – An invoice from the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office has brought into question the office’s handbook.

On Thursday night, Personnel Committee Chairwoman Vicki Geiger expressed concern that the office has polices different from the county handbook.

“We weren’t aware that changes were made in the handbook,” Geiger said after the meeting. “Every department seems to be doing something different. We need to go back and have human resources look.”

The invoice for $1,150 is to be paid to former assistant state’s attorney Chris Dearth, who left in October. It is for 40 hours of compensatory time Dearth was unable to use before leaving.

The State’s Attorney’s Office employee handbook states: “When appropriate, compensatory time may be taken in lieu of overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a work week. Compensatory time will be granted at the rate of 1.5 hours for each hour of overtime worked. Compensatory time may accumulate to a maximum of 40 hours, after which additional overtime

worked will be paid. Any compensatory time accumulated at the termination of the employee’s employment will be paid as wages.”

Geiger said she thought salaried individuals didn’t receive compensatory time.

“As I understand it, it’s only been used four times in 20 years,” assistant state’s attorney Perry Rudman said during the meeting.

He said the reason compensatory time is paid out is to help with a smooth transition within the office with one attorney leaving and a new one being hired.

He said if the office didn’t pay out the time, a person could give two weeks notice and not return, using compensatory time for the last two weeks.

In documents obtained by Shaw Media it appears the maximum of 40 hours has not always been the case.

In a claim voucher dated Dec. 31, 2012, former assistant state’s attorney Ronald Ellis was paid 120 hours of compensatory time when he left the office.

A copy of the State’s Attorney’s Office employee handbook shows the handbook went into effect Dec. 1, 1999, and was amended Aug. 14, 2003, and

insurance, or insurance that does not pay for the flu vaccine.

Bicycle rider dies after Joliet crash

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man died Wednesday after his bicycle was struck by a pickup truck.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory noted the weather was stormy when the crash happened at 6:53 p.m.

A 63-year-old man was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche when he turned from northbound Boulder Avenue onto westbound Washington Street and stopped when he heard a noise, Gregory said.

“He got out and found a bicyclist was pinned under the passenger side of the vehicle and called 911,” Gregory said.

PLAINFIELD – District 202 has scheduled two community forums to share information about its full-day kindergarten program that will be implemented next school year.

The forums will both be from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on: • Nov. 30 at Ira Jones Middle School, 15320 Wallin Drive, Plainfield • Dec. 2 at Aux Sable Middle School, 2001 Wildspring Parkway, Joliet The forums are free. Community members can attend either or both. The forums will also be recorded and posted on a special “Full Day Kindergarten” link posted on the front page of the websites for all 17 District 202 elementary schools, the Bonnie McBeth Learning Center and District 202.

The forums are part of the district’s comprehensive communications plan to publicize the full-day kindergarten program, including a mass mailing, special website, and telephone and email messages to

the community.

District 202 currently offers half-day kindergarten. The district does not have enough room in its schools nor can it afford to hire enough staff to offer full-day kindergarten for all students following 10 years of tremendous growth in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

However, full-day kindergarten was identified as a top priority in 2011 as part of the district’s current five-year Strategic Plan, so district officials decided to implement a limited program in 2016-17.

Work to develop the initiative has been ongoing for three years.

The 2016-17 pilot full-day kindergarten initiative will serve one classroom of 24 students at each of the district’s 17 elementary schools.

Students will be picked through a computerized, random online lottery in early February 2016.

Meanwhile, district officials will continue to study options to expand full-day kindergarten to all students in the near future.

“The opinion written by Judge Carter said the appellate court found no errors [in Peterson’s due process] so they had to reject the argument there was cumulative error,” Glasgow said Friday.

Glasgow said he was pleased at the appellate ruling.

“It’s the ultimate vindication in the face of the vitriolic comments made of the defense made over the last eight years.

They were wrong at every level and documents back that,” he said.

Peterson is expected to face trial in the solicitation for murder case next year.

He could appeal the appellate court’s decision to the state Supreme Court, which is not obligated to hear the case.

The HERALD–NEWS CREST HILL – There’s a new warden at Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill.

Randy Pfister was appointed to the position Thursday, the Department of Corrections said in a news release.

Pfister has most recently been warden of the Pontiac Correctional Center. He is a Pontiac native who started as a correctional officer there in 1981.

He has served as the assistant warden of Operations at the Illinois Youth Center in Joliet, and Jobs Coach and Acting manager of programs at Sheridan Correctional Center. He also has been a unit manager and assistant warden of Operations at Stateville.

“I am proud to be back

at Stateville Correctional Center working with a great staff and serving the people of Illinois by protecting public safety,” Pfister said in the statement. “I look forward to doing a complete review of the facility’s operational structure and making adjustments where necessary.”

“Warden Pfister is a proven leader,” IDOC Acting Director John Baldwin said in the statement. “I am confident that his diverse background and experience working in maximum security facilities will serve staff and the offender population well.”

Pfister will oversee the Stateville maximum and medium security units, as well as the Northern Reception and Classification Center, which is the state’s largest intake facility for newly admitted prisoners.

OTTAWA – The appellate court has upheld Drew Peterson’s murder conviction.

In an 87-page opinion released Thursday, three justices unanimously rejected Peterson’s claims that the case against him was not proved beyond a reasonable doubt and that trial attorney Joel Brodsky did not fulfill his obligations to present a capable defense. “[The] defendant asserts ...

Brodsky saw defendant’s case as a promotional tool, that he exploited defendant’s case for his own professional and financial gain, and that his self interest clouded his judgment to the detriment of defendant,” Judge Robert Carter wrote.

“According to defendant, the most glaring evidence thereof was the fact that Brodsky

failed to advise defendant not to talk about the case and instead advised defendant to address the matter through a media blitz that provided publicity and promotional fees to Brodsky.”

Peterson, who served as a Bolingbrook police officer from 1977 to 2007, was convicted in 2012 of murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio was found dead in a bathtub in March 2004. Her drowning was initially ruled accidental, but the case was reopened when Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in October 2007.

Peterson is serving a 38year sentence in the Menard Correctional Center. He remains the only suspect in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.

Hayes said he has sent a letter to county leaders to address the lack of signage at Elwood International Port Road, formerly known as Baseline Road, which lies farther west of Manhattan-Arsenal Road, toward the intermodals.

“A traffic enforcement conundrum was created when the portion of Manhattan-Arsenal Road ... was not included and remained at 15 tons,” he said in the letter.

Trucks of legal weight traveling east will see the posted 15-ton weight limit sign until they reach Brandon Road, at which point the new 5-ton weight limit kicks in, Hayes said.

“The driver is basically caught in a trap and can’t turn back,” he said.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP – Ticketing garbage trucks, school buses and delivery trucks is technically fair game under a new Will County ordinance aimed at limiting semitrailers to a 5-ton weight limit along a small stretch of Manhattan-Arsenal Road between Brandon Road and Route 53.

That’s how the law is being interpreted by both Matt Wells, president of the Midwest Truckers Association, and more importantly, the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Wells said he would hope patrol officers treat all drivers with a vehicle weighing more than 5 tons equally.

“What the county decides to do with this will be very interesting,” Wells said. “These residents need to realize what they’ve asked for. No school buses. No garbage trucks. No UPS deliveries. … Technically, that is the rule at this point.”

The Will County Board voted last month to lower the limit from 15 to 5 tons in response to resident complaints about heavy truck traffic in the area.

State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Chuck Pelkie said Friday the office has determined that state law does not provide for exemptions.

“After further research,

Budde said officers have been operating based on Mock’s comments made at the board meeting.

“This is not as cut and dry as we thought,” Budde said.

The new signs were posted two weeks ago, but enforcement has stepped up in the past week, said Kathy Hoffmeyer, spokeswoman for the Sheriff’s Office. The office sent a letter Nov. 2 to trucking groups informing them of the changes and that the office would be “strictly” enforcing the new weight limit.

Community center rebrands senior programming

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Several additions to programming at the Plainfield Township Community Center will be introduced soon, the facility’s manager told park district commissioners last week.

The Plainfield Township Park District’s commissioners were presented Wednesday with a one-year review of the senior-focused community center, including additional programming and a shift in focus to make the center more inclusive.

Kathy Whalen Manager of senior and adult programming at the center come, although it’s still geared for ages 50 and up,” said Kathy Whalen, manager of senior and adult programming at the center.

The shift is meant to appeal to adults not classified as seniors who want to participate in the increasing list of programs offered at the center.

Programming also will focus

on healthy aging.

Management is introducing active adult focus groups in addition to fitness programs, more daytime and evening events, and an expansion of activities such as fitness and yoga classes, Mahjong, Bingo and lunchtime learning programs.

Police: Man arrested after robbing Joliet store

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police said a man on parole for armed robbery held up a Joliet value store on Thursday.

Devan N. Traylor, 21, entered Family Dollar, 1224 Richards St., at 1:52 p.m.

Thursday, went Devan N. t h r o u g h t h e Traylor aisles to get a can of cleaner and approached the counter, according to Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory.

“When the clerk opened the register, he displayed a black semi-automatic handgun and told her to give him all the mon-

ey,” Gregory said.

Witnesses gave responding officers the license plate of a silver car Traylor was allegedly seen getting into and police went to a residence in the 100 block of Mississippi Avenue.

Police questioned a woman who’d given Traylor a ride, but determined she was not involved in the robbery, Gregory said.

“Meanwhile we reviewed video surveillance and officers recognized Traylor from previous encounters,” Gregory said.

“We went to his residence in the 400 block of Elmwood Avenue and brought him to the police station.”

Traylor was arrested on a charge of armed robbery. Gregory said police found the clothing the robber was wearing in

a garbage can outside Traylor’s house, but had not found the gun or cash.

The Department of Corrections indicates Traylor was paroled Sept. 25 from the Big Muddy Correctional Center where he was serving a 8-year sentence for armed robbery convictions.

In July and August 2011, Traylor held a knife to cashier’s throats while robbing registers at Unique Thrift Store, 2155 W. Jefferson St. in Joliet, and Dollar Tree and Food-4-Less in the Hillcrest Shopping Center in Crest Hill, according to The Herald-News files.

Witnesses called police to the Food-4-Less robbery before Traylor was able to escape on a bicycle, police said at the time.

“...this is the smart consumers’ best buy hands down! 0% financing, deferred payments for 90 days and Kia picking up the first two payments?

It’s incredible!

I’ve never seen an offer like this!”

-Tom Primbas General Manager tions it was confirmed that these credit terms would be extended to nearly all credit score tiers not just the top one or two as many traditional offers are.

Easy credit terms, interest-free financing, and not a penny outof-pocket until April of 2016. The bargain hunters and value experts are right on the money. For the best Black Friday values, a new Kia will have you done with holiday shopping and have extra money in your bank before Black Friday even rolls around.

Haven’t gotten around to it?

PRESIDENT, J.T.H.S. FOUNDATION

Weekdays • 8 am • 4 pm • 9 pm

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, notoriously dubbed the “biggest shopping day of the year”, has traditionally been embraced as the kickoff of the holiday shopping season. But smart shoppers and bargain hunters know that the season has been expanded dramatically and the deals abound long before the turkey is even done thawing!

Which Black Friday-type deals are the best in the area? Well when it comes to instant gratification and the joy of getting the greatest value with the least amount of money out-of-pocket, then our shopping experts agree that this year it’s time to put a Kia under the tree! Joliet Kia confirmed that current offers include 0% apr financing (that is interest-free money, folks) for 66 months in addition to no payments due until April 2016.

What this means to consumers is they can purchase a brand new Kia Optima, Optima Hybrid, Forte, Soul or Sorento at incredibly low payments and drive it home interest-free for the entire term of the loan without a penny due until Spring. “This isn’t a layaway plan,” confirmed Tom Primbas, General Manager.

Recycle holiday lights at Plainfield Library

PLAINFIELD – Holiday lights that no longer work can be recycled at the Plainfield Public Library, 15025 S. Illinois St., until Feb. 22. Residents should drop off their lights near the library’s front door, next to the book return.

In the past three years, the Plainfield community has recycled 7,419 pounds of holiday lights through this program, supported by Elgin Recycling.

As it has done every year, for each pound of holiday lights recycled, Elgin Recycling will donate a portion of its proceeds to the library. This will be used to fund future environmental and “Go Green” events at the

Library.

The following types of holiday lights are accepted: mini lights (or Italian lights), C7 lights, C9 lights, rope lights, LED lights and extension cords. All colors and lengths will be accepted.

Garland, live greens, wreaths or other nonrecyclables are not accepted.

The library is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Friday and Saturday; and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Residents can drop off their lights at any time, whether the library is open or closed.

For information, visit www. plainfieldpubliclibrary.org or call 815-436-6639.

Decreased funding seen as one reason for Lincoln-Way North’s closure Continued from page 6 funding would be a key component of reform, said Pat Halloran, superintendent for Morris Community High School. He said there have been different studies showing the foundation level in general state aid should be higher than $6,119 per pupil.

“As long as there’s work on the adequacy and equity in state funding. Those are two big hot topics,” Halloran said.

This year, board members

of Lincoln-Way High School District 210 voted to close North High School starting with the 2016-17 academic year, to reduce multimillion-dollar budget deficits.

Some district officials pointed to decreased state funding over time as one of the factors that led to the school district’s financial crisis.

Among the changes from Senate Bill 16 to Senate Bill 1 is raising the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law – or tax caps – adjustment floor from 80 to 85 percent.

Another change is using the

Metra’s experiment with weekend express trains on the Rock Island Line will be made permanent, and a new weekday outbound express train will make its debut starting Nov. 30, according to a Metra news release.

Last June, six express trains were added to the Rock Island schedule Saturdays and Sundays in each direction. The express trains bypass the Beverly branch, which is served by separate trains, prompting a 20-minute reduction in travel time between suburban stations and

downtown Chicago.

The weekend express service was set to end Nov. 29, but is now being made permanent. However, departure and arrival times are being slightly adjusted: inbound express trains will leave Joliet five minutes earlier and outbound express trains will leave LaSalle Street 10 minutes later.

In addition, outbound express time to Joliet will be reduced by five minutes.

Metra also is adding an outbound express train to the weekday schedule. Train No. 413, which now departs at 4:57 p.m. and stops at all stations south of Blue Island ex-

At the time, McDonald was behaving erratically and refusing police commands to drop a 4-inch folding knife. An autopsy later determined he had PCP in his system.

Michael Madigan can’t attend budget summit

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner has postponed the Nov. 18 budget summit because a family matter will prevent House Speaker Michael Madigan from attending.

Rauner deputy chief of staff Mike Schrimpf said Saturday the meeting instead will be held Dec. 1 in Springfield.

The change came shortly after Madigan, a Chicago Democrat, released a statement saying he needed to attend an out-ofstate family funeral next week.

Schrimpf offered the governor’s condolences.

The much-anticipated meeting will be the first time in months the Republican governor and the four legislative leaders have met.

They’ve bickered over a state budget that should’ve taken effect July 1.

Illinois Dept. of Insurance discloses privacy breach

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois insurance officials mistakenly allowed the Social Security numbers of an unknown number of health care providers to be posted publicly.

The Illinois Department of Insurance disclosed the privacy breach Friday in a news release.

Department officials learned of it Monday after receiving a complaint. It’s unclear how long the Social Security numbers were viewable.

The numbers were included in filings from Blue Cross Blue Shield, which Illinois provided to a website operated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Protest of Mormon LGBT policy draws hundreds

SALT LAKE CITY – Several hundred people with roots in the Mormon faith gathered in Salt Lake City on Saturday to renounce the church’s new policies targeting gays and their children in an event that marked the latest illustration of the fervor the rule changes have caused.

Billed as a mass resignation

by Mormons, people filled out paperwork and dropped off the resignation letters at a church building. The large majority had stopped attending church years ago. But they said the new policy that bans baptisms for children of gay parents until the kids turn 18 and disavow same-sex relationships spurred them to come and formally cut ties and have their names removed from the faith’s membership rolls.

The rally came one day after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stood behind the policies issued on Nov. 5, while providing more explanation and clarifications.

High-speed test train derails in France, killing 7

au Rhin canal.

Spokeswoman Viviane Chevallier of the Bas-Rhin region said authorities believe the train carrying 49 people was going too fast, and skipped off the tracks in the town of Eckwerscheim near the German border.

Five helicopters were deployed to evacuate the injured to hospital in the nearby city of Strasbourg. Two government ministers were on their way to the site.

Turkish soldiers kill 4 suspected militants

ANKARA, Turkey – Turkish soldiers on Saturday killed four suspected Islamic State militants in a clash near the border with Syria, the country’s state-run agency reported, as world leaders began to gather for an economic summit.

The Anadolu Agency said two cars believed to be carrying IS militants approached an armored military vehicle, ignored warnings to stop and opened fire on the soldiers. The soldiers responded, killing four militants inside one of the cars. The second car escaped, Anadolu said.

The incident occurred close to a military border outpost near the town of Oguzeli, in Gaziantep province – more than 400 miles east of the Mediterranean coastal resort where U.S. President Barack Obama and other leaders of the world’s top 20 economies will meet Sunday and Monday.

Bernie Sanders (left) makes a point as Hillary Rodham Clinton listens Saturday during a Democratic presidential primary debate in Des Moines, Iowa.

Clinton, Sanders debate foreign policy after Paris terror attacks

By LISA LERER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A day after deadly terrorist attacks in Paris, Hillary Rodham Clinton cast herself as the strongest U.S. commander in chief in an uncertain world, even as she found herself forced to defend the Obama administration’s response to the rise of the Islamic State militants.

“This election is not only about electing a president, it’s also about choosing our next commander in chief,” said Clinton in the Democrats’ second debate of the presidential campaign. “All of the other issues we want to deal with depend upon us being secure and strong.”

But she nearly immediately faced criticism of her own record, when Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders traced the current instability in the Middle East to the Senate vote – including Clinton’s – to authorize military action in Iraq in 2002. He said that U.S. invasion “unraveled the region.”

Clinton fought back, saying terrorism has been erupting for decades, specifically mentioning the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. She said the recent unrest in Libya and other

parts of the Middle East was symptomatic of an “arc of instability from North Africa to Afghanistan.”

She rejected the idea that she and the rest of the administration underestimated the growing threat of the Islamic State.

Clinton and Sanders were joined by former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley for the debate, which also featured lively discussion of domestic issues, including the economy, “Obamacare” and immigration reform. O’Malley got cheers from the Democrats’ audience when he spoke out against Republican front-runner Donald Trump, whom he called an “immigrant-bashing carnival barker.”

On international terrorism, much in the world’s mind after the Paris attacks, the early back-and-forth revealed a foreign policy split within the Democratic Party, with Sanders playing to the anti-war activists who boosted then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama to victory in 2008.

Sanders argued for a far more hands-off approach, advocating for Muslim countries to lead the fight and arguing the war against Islamic State militants is about the “soul of

Islam.”

Clinton has a history of advocating for more robust involvement across the globe – both as a presidential candidate eight years ago and as Obama’s secretary of state. In recent weeks, she has advocated for a more aggressive U.S. role in the Syrian conflict, calling for a no-fly zone over the area, a move the Obama administration opposes. But she stood by her opposition to seeking a formal declaration of war against the Islamic State.

Foreign relations is an area where Clinton, as a former secretary of state, is in the strongest position to talk about the attacks and the U.S. effort to dismantle the Islamic State group. But she is vulnerable, too, her tenure tied to that of Obama, who’s struggled to contain the threat from Islamic militants in Syria and associated terror attacks across the globe.

The candidates were meeting in the shadow of the Paris attacks that killed at least 129 and wounded at least 352 people. The debate began with a solemn tone, with a moment of silence followed by previously unplanned foreign policy questions.

Eiffel Tower goes dark as France mourns The ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS – The Eiffel Tower stood dark in a symbol of mourning Saturday night as France struggled to absorb the deadliest violence on its soil since World War II: coordinated gun-and-suicide bombing attacks across Paris that left at least 129 people dead and 352 injured.

President Francois Hollande vowed that France would wage “merciless” war on the Islamic State group, which claimed responsibility for the mayhem, as investigators raced to track down their accomplices and uncovered possible links to networks in Belgium and Syria.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said three groups of attackers, including seven suicide bombers, carried out the “act of barbarism” that shattered a Parisian Friday night.

He said the attackers in the Bataclan concert hall, where 89 people died, mentioned Syria and Iraq during their rampage.

Of the hundreds wounded in the six attacks, 99 were in critical condition.

Seven attackers launched

gun attacks at Paris cafes, detonated suicide bombs near France’s national stadium and killed hostages inside the concert venue during a show by an American rock band – an attack on the heart of the pulsing City of Light.

Late Saturday, a crowd of up to 250 people gathered for an impromptu candlelight vigil at the Place de la Republique, the site of a massive demonstration in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo killings earlier this year.

Adrien Chambel, a 27-yearold law student, said the crowd was much sparser than in January. “You feel that people are petrified,” Chambel said.

Hollande, who declared three days of national mourning and raised the nation’s security to its highest level, called the carnage “an act of war that was prepared, organized, planned from abroad with internal help.”

The president said France would increase its military efforts to crush IS. He said France – which is part of a U.S.-led coalition bombing suspected IS targets in Syria and Iraq and also has troops fighting Islamic militants in Africa – “will be

merciless toward the barbarians of Islamic State group.”

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility in an online statement in Arabic and French circulated by supporters. It was not immediately possible to confirm the authenticity of the claim, which bore the group’s logo and resembled previous verified statements from the group.

The statement called Paris “the capital of prostitution and obscenity” and mocked France’s air attacks on suspected IS targets in Syria and Iraq, saying France’s air power was “of no use to them in the streets and rotten alleys of Paris.”

Many of Paris’s top tourist attractions closed down Saturday, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum and the Disneyland theme park east of the capital. Some 3,000 troops were deployed to help restore order and reassure a frightened populace.

In Washington, D.C., a crowd gathered outside the White House for a vigil near a statue of the Marquis de Lafayette, the French general for whom the park in front of the executive mansion is named.

In New York, the Empire State Building went dark for a second night in sympathy for people of Paris, while One World Trade Center was lit with the colors of the French flag.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve announced all public demonstrations would be banned until Thursday and local governments throughout the country would have the option to impose nightly curfews.

The attacks, on an unusually balmy November Friday evening, struck at the heart of Parisian nightlife, including at a soccer match, which draws together spectators of all social classes and backgrounds.

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said the attacks had targeted the Paris of diversity, “probably because this example of living together, which is so strong in our city, is unbearable for fanatical people.”

Parisians expressed shock, disgust and defiance in equal measure. Some areas were quiet, but hundreds queued outside a hospital near the Bataclan concert hall to donate blood. As a shrine of

flowers expanded along the sidewalk, a lone guitarist sang John Lennon’s peace ballad, “Imagine.”

Authorities said seven attackers died, six in suicide bombings, a new terror tactic in France. Authorities said police shot the other assailant, exploding his suicide vest. Police have detained two relatives of the one attacker who has been identified so far, the prosecutor’s spokeswoman said.

Molins, the prosecutor, said all seven attackers wore identical suicide vests containing the explosive TATP. Molins said one was identified from fingerprints as a French-born man with a criminal record.

In addition, a Syrian passport found near the body of another attacker was linked to a man who entered the European Union through a Greek island last month.

Officials in Greece said the passport’s owner entered in October through Leros, one of the islands that tens of thousands of people fleeing war and poverty in Syria and elsewhere have been using as a gateway into the European Union.

Short-term possibilities Dear Mr. Berko: We just sold our home and have $110,000 to invest for a few years. We want quick access and low risk. Is there any way we can get 4 percent with little risk?

What bond funds would you recommend? – SJ, Akron, Ohio Dear SJ: Bond investors

face two imminent risks: an interest rate hike, which would cause bond prices to decline, and credit risk in which a bond’s issuer might default on its obligation. So consider the following two noload bond funds: the Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund (FFRHX-$9.40), yielding 4.1 percent, and the Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund (VFSTX-$10.60).

FFRHX invests some 80 percent of its $11 billion in assets in lower-quality floating-rate loans. A large portion of its portfolio is invested in troubled companies with uncertain financial conditions. FFRHX also invests in derivatives and repurchase agreements, with 10 percent of its portfolio invested in foreign issues.

The portfolio of this fourstar fund turns over half again as much as others in this category; however, annual expenses of 0.69 percent are much lower than the average of 1.1 percent charged by similar funds. FFRHX owns such names as Albertsons, Altice Financing, Dell, Fortescue Metals Group and Caesars Entertainment Corp. The 0.031-cent monthly dividend has been steadily increasing

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko for the past five years, from 0.023 cent in March 2010, but FFRHX’s share price has declined steadily during the same time frame, from a high of $9.70. FFRHX’s interest rate risk is low, but its credit risk rates from moderate to high.

This year, FFRHX is off 0.03 percent after nearly a year’s worth of interest payments. Its worst one-year total return came in 2008, when FFRHX was down 16.47 percent, but its best one-year total return was the following year, when FFRHX was plus 28.85 percent.

VFSTX has a 1.9 percent yield. Not less than 80 percent of its four-star, $53 billion portfolio is invested in shortterm, high-quality issues, and about 20 percent is invested in medium-quality fixed-income securities. VFSTX’s high-quality investments are rated A3 or better, while the medium-quality bonds rate between Baa1 and Baa3.

VFSTX gooses its yield with a few issues – including General Electric, yielding 5.25 percent, and such foreign bonds as the 7.5 percent one issued by the Republic of Turkey. During the past five years, the dividend has been up and down like a Whac-AMole. It reached a high of 0.03 cent a month in 2010 and then went down to 0.015 cent last February, finally moving a

little higher, to 0.019 cent this month. However, the fund’s market price in the past five years declined only slightly, from $10.73 in 2010 to today’s $10.60, because this is a Vanguard fund and the management fees are 0.2 basis points.

Here’s what I’d do. Invest $40,000 in FFRHX and $40,000 in VFSTX. Owning $40,000 of each fund will give you a 3 percent short-term return, which is better than a kick in the butt with a pointed-toe boot. For the remaining $30,000, I recommend taking a little bit of risk and buying $15,000 worth of AT&T (T$33). AT&T has a 5.7 percent dividend that’s been raised modestly each of the past dozen years. And it may be raised more than less modestly in the next dozen years as its acquisition of DirecTV brings in a new source of revenue.

Then invest $15,000 in Southern Co. (SO-$44), which has a 4.5 percent yield that has been raised in each of the past several dozen years. And SO recently acquired AGL Resources, a $4.5 billion-revenue natural gas company that should add revenues and profits to SO’s income statement. This acquisition also will make room for much better dividend growth. These four issues combined will give you a safe current return of 4 percent plus modest growth.

OUR VIEW

First Amendment rights a no-brainer From afar, we watched what happened last week at the University of Missouri-Columbia with mixed emotions.

We’re concerned racial turmoil has led to threats and system president Tim Wolfe apparently allowed for a culture of hostility toward African-American students before he resigned. We’re proud students are taking enough interest in their education and well-being to act when they see injustice and to hold people accountable.

Illinois sends the most out-ofstate kids to Mizzou, so chances are you know of at least someone that’s been touched by this.

As journalists, we want to address one particular aspect of the protest, one that distracted significantly from the most important story of the day, but one we must address in this space.

By now, you’ve probably seen the protest video of two faculty protesters leading the charge Monday against a student photographer on assignment for ESPN. Protesters yell at the photographer to go away and that he doesn’t have a right to take their pictures.

That’s wrong, but we can find a way to forgive the students. They’re still learning. They’ve grown up in the most partisan media climate of anyone alive. Disparaging attitudes toward media are, unfortunately, all they know. The student protest group did take a positive step the next day, taking down the “No Media” signs.

It’s different for the faculty involved.

Melissa Click, a mass communications professor, is the one yelling, “I need some muscle,” to oust photographer Tim Tai from documenting the protest. Tai, the student, displayed remarkable poise in keeping calm, not escalating the situation and even citing a specific Missouri state law to back up his case that Carnahan Quad is a public place and he’s allowed to

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

shoot photos.

Click has since apologized publicly and privately to Tai, and surrendered her courtesy appointment to Mizzou’s journalism school.

That’s a positive step from an embarrassing display. She should follow it with her resignation.

As journalists, seeing Click’s actions elicits an immediate response. It’s disgusting. It’s trampling on the understanding of the First Amendment. It’s a no-brainer to us.

We’re not sure it’s a no-brainer to you. It should be.

It should be important to you that a free press is allowed to do its job. A free society is an informed society. The founders of our country realized that. There’s a reason freedom of the press is in the First Amendment. We’re responsible for holding people accountable. We’re responsible for telling those stories that can result in great and necessary change. We hold the mirror up to our society, no matter how ugly it looks.

No matter your feelings about media these days, the First Amendment still exists. The same amendment that allows the protesters to assemble peacefully in a public place protects the photographer’s right to document the proceedings in that public place.

The protesters should have known that. The press disseminated this story on a national level.

The change protesters wanted came because of that, not in spite of it.

Ordering a journalist to vacate a public space is not a lawful act.

Escalating it to a physical threat is beyond uncalled for. It’s assault.

An apology in the aftermath is nice, but there shouldn’t be an aftermath in the first place.

The Mizzou community protesting wants respect for the fundamental rights of all students. That was the story, the one Tim Tai had a right to cover. The ones we have a right to cover in the future.

The fault is not in our stars There were two Republican debates this week, one year out from the election. The fourth major Republican presidential debate was supposed to whittle down the number of candidates, but instead, the lesser polling candidates – former Govs. Jeb Bush and John Kasich, along with Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz – turned in strong debate performances.

Rubio and Cruz increased their grip on footholds near the top tier. Meanwhile, business mogul Donald Trump may have slipped (mostly from delivering insults that the crowd booed), while former neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson kept his place at the top, despite a media dustup over his biography. But what was significant about the Republican debate was how much it sounded like the Anti-Federalists at the Constitutional Convention.

The Anti-Federalists waged a strong battle in many state legislatures, including tactics such as preventing a quorum, to stop the creation of a strong federal government. Today’s GOP candidates seem to want to continue the struggle.

Cruz promised to abolish the IRS, and the Departments of Education, Energy, Commerce, and Housing and Urban Development. Sen. Rand Paul

VIEWS Donna Brazile said, “I want a government really, really small. So small you can barely see it.”

Bush, businesswoman Carly Fiorina and Trump each emphasized that their first acts, taken together, would be to repeal the entirety of the Obama administration, especially those regulations put in place to prevent a repeat of the 2008 recession.

“Dodd-Frank is a great example of how socialism starts,” Fiorina snapped.

About Obamacare, she opined, “Let us try the one thing in health insurance we’ve never tried, the free market.”

(Which was all we ever had before Obamacare).

David Frum, the senior editor of The Atlantic, tweeted, “Will there one day be a candidate on that stage who lives in America, not the conservative ideological bubble?”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Joliet should keep city manager form of government

To the Editor: I recently received a robocall survey, which I normally would hang up on but I participated since this one said it was regarding the City of Joliet. I’m not exactly sure who generated this call, but I have a good idea. I do know who did not generate it.

The most interesting question asked was if I thought the mayor and council should be in charge of hiring, firing and promotion of staff and other employees of the City of Joliet, or should it be left in the hands of the city manager. I didn’t have to hesitate before answering – it should be left in the hands of the city manager. Joliet has the city manager form of government, not a strong mayor form of government.

The people who benefit from the strong mayor form of government is the mayor and possibly some council members.

The strong mayor form of government is about power and patronage. It would be poison for Joliet. It is abusive to existing staff and employees. It’s an unfair and unreasonable way of hiring and firing.

Between 1987 and 1991, Mayor Connor attempted to change Joliet to strong mayor government and put it on the ballot as a resolution to be voted on. That move was met with a lot of resistance from the City Council and a couple members worked hard to defeat it. Our hard work paid off and it was defeated.

I would hope everyone keeps their eyes open to this issue. Government of any kind needs checks and balances and

strong mayor government does not offer that. I believe this survey was meant to do nothing more than “test the waters” for the public’s reaction to the mention of duties being taken away from the city manager and given to the mayor and council.

Remember that the strong mayor form of government only means power and patronage. Giving one of your friends who clearly is not qualified a job, and taking that job from an existing qualified person, is unacceptable. We need qualified people working for the City of Joliet.

Get America back on track

To the Editor: I read the article (“New era in public housing,” Sunday, Nov. 8, 2015, edition) about the moves from the housing projects in Joliet. It featured two people who had been living there for 30 to 40 years. Public aid should be temporary and short term, yet we repeatedly see people living on welfare for generation after generation.

Several years ago, Illinois passed a statue that welfare could only be provided for two years. Despite people claiming we would have people living in the streets, that never happened. Instead, there was a 50 percent decrease in welfare recipients. No more free ride, so they found a job. Politicians have figured out that the more people on the dole, the more votes they buy.

Today we have a progressive, equity

distribution-minded set of politicians who feel we should become a welfare state like Greece. This is not what our founding fathers fought for. Today, we have politically correct speech. Working for a living and keeping your money is seen as a negative. You should give it to the government so someone else can get it. We provide welfare for housing, heating, utility, food, medical care, telephone and are pushing free Internet. We no longer call it welfare, since we don’t want to embarrass anyone.

We have become numb to the idea that not working for a living and providing for your family is acceptable. You don’t have to be a responsible member of society who works and pays taxes. People complain they can’t work because they have children. How many of us have children and work? And the government even provides child care.

It’s time to get America back on track.

Get out and vote for people who want to end the free lunch or we will get more acquainted with communism and socialism. We had a couple world wars and lost far too many veterans fighting against these trends.

Don’t sit back and let it happen.

Act of kindness

To the Editor: Recently while having lunch at Diamond’s Restaurant on Route 30, we were pleasantly surprised by an act of kindness. Our waitress came up to us

and said our check was taken care of by a person who left.

She said that the person who picked up our check figured that I was a veteran and he paid the bill. I am an Army veteran from 1956-1958.

My wife and I thank him for this random act of kindness, it also made our day, which happened to be our 53rd wedding anniversary!

Warehouse project will cause problems in Channahon

To the Editor: The approved project for a warehouse near Bluff Road and Interstate 55 in Channahon is going to cause a lot more problems. The Illinois Department of Transportation approved the interchange – the same department that approved Weber Road years ago and it’s a traffic gridlock.

A left turn lane for southbound traffic where maybe three trucks will block the westbound traffic with a red turn light blocking through traffic. If this project is successful, it will be another gridlock.

If it’s not, then who’s paying off the bonds?

The golf course will also suffer as people from the north will tire of being late with travel time. The golf course does support a lot of other programs in the park district. I hope I’m wrong.

Dysfunction in D.C. a direct result of extremes on left and right • BRAZILE

Continued from page 41 were to the right of former Sen. Barry Goldwater, the party’s 1964 nominee.

After the night’s rules were explained, moderator Neil Cavuto said, “It sounds like a game show, but it’s not.” By the end of the night, writer Jeffrey Smith tweeted, “It’s all fun and games until you remember: these are real people, real candidates, that real people support and [will] vote for. #GOPDebate.” Indeed.

For well over a decade, every major national poll has shown that voters feel the nation is still “on the wrong track.” The divide between

Republican and Democratic voters is so wide, it’s easy to see why each would think that the other’s way of governing has sent America shooting off the rails.

Real Clear Politics’ average of several polls’ data revealed that 64 percent of the voters believe the country is on the wrong track. A CBS poll found that 53 percent of the public are dissatisfied with Washington, D.C., but are not angry; while 27 percent are both unhappy and angry. Republicans are the most likely to be angry (34 percent), while only half as many (17 percent) of the Democrats feel that way.

We don’t know the winners yet and we cannot predict the eventual outcome. It’s still

dating season. And voters like to shop around. But here’s what’s driving this unpredictable season, especially with conservatives: There are genuine anxieties driving the feeling that the country is on the wrong track. To paraphrase my raging Cajun friend and colleague James Carville, “It’s still the economy, stupid.”

From stagnant wages, rising income inequality, growing debt and more, these issues are cleaving divisions in the Democratic Party, where Sen. Bernie Sanders has said that he’s ready to highlight real and sharp differences with former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Voters want change.

Many don’t understand that dysfunction in Washington is a direct result of the extremes on the left and right that, in turn, prevent common agreement on issues. We have turned our two major parties into minority parties, causing more moderate voters to huddle, almost shaking, in the middle, not quite knowing what to do.

With one more year before we head to the polls, it’s time we pay attention to the candidates, watch the debates, look at the websites, ask tough questions, donate, volunteer and yes, get ready to vote. The last time I checked, it’s still we the people, not we the parties or super PACs, lobbyists or even pundits like myself.

The greatest fear I have this cycle is that after a long, uncertain, unpredictable and volatile primary season, many of us will give up and stay home. Don’t do that.

The process of choosing a candidate who shares your values and believes in the future of our great nation will continue throughout this next year. In order for us to become a more perfect union, we must remain engaged. The outcome is up to us.

CLASS 5A IHSA FOOTBALL QUARTERFINAL: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 40, PEORIA 13

Warriors earn their first semifinal trip

By CURT HERRON

Lincoln-Way West’s Gabriel Montalvo runs a pass against Peoria during the first half of Saturday’s Class 5A quarterfinal in New Lenox.

Lincoln-Way West defeated Peoria, 40-13, advancing to the state semifinals for the first time in school history.

cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Seeking their school’s biggest victory ever not only in their sport but in any sport, Lincoln-Way West’s football team made it clear from the outset of Saturday’s Class 5A quarterfinal home game with Peoria it wasn’t going to be denied.

The Warriors grabbed a 17-0 lead after one quarter and never let the Lions get any closer than 10 points back as they went on to capture a 40-13 win, becoming the first West program to advance to the state semifinals.

West (10-2) will meet Champaign Central (11-1) on Saturday at Champaign Centennial, with the winner earning a spot in the Class 5A championship Nov. 28 in DeKalb.

“I’m proud of these guys, and they’re a great group of kids that’s fun to be around every day,” coach Dave Ernst said. “Peoria was a good team with a class group of kids.

The scoreboard may not show it, but it wasn’t easy. Their tailback didn’t play, and he’s scary. So when No. 6 (Jaleen James) had to play tailback, it took a little something away from their defense, since he defended the run real well.”

Gabe Montalvo gained 265 yards on 34 carries and scored on runs of 1, 15, 3, 71 and 44 yards to lead the Warriors offense. He has rushed for 2,028 yards this season and scored 33 touchdowns for the Warriors.

“Gabe’s a wrestler, and wrestlers are different dudes, but we’ll take them on our team any day.” Ernst said.

“He’s a tough guy who wants to win, and if you ask him how many yards or touchdowns he had, he couldn’t tell you.

He only cares about winning.

And as long as our offensive line keeps beating on you and staying physical, the threeyard runs in the first quarter become five in the second and eight in the third, and we start popping them in the fourth.”

Peoria (10-2) failed on two fourth-and-long situations and fumbled in the first quarter, which gave West three

Lincoln-Way West’s Justin Witt (67) celebrates after the team’s victory Saturday evening in New Lenox. straight series in which its average start was at the Lions’ 35.

With the wind at their backs, the Warriors got a 1-yard run from Montalvo for their first score, and he added a 15-yard scamper late in the quarter. In between those touchdowns, Kevin Siemeck booted a 22-yard field goal.

The Lions failed on two more long fourth-down situations in the second quarter, but West was unable to score as it maintained the 17-point advantage at the break.

Deven Reed led West with 10 tackles, while Josh Bohne had nine, Danny Allen and Jake Price were in on seven stops each, Dan Wainwright made six tackles, and Trey Telez added five. Matthew Murphy and Price each recovered a fumble.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling,” Reed said. “We’re pumped about being in the semis, but we want to go all the way. We practice hard, and our thing is that we fly around with 11 hats to the ball and we get it done. We’re re-

ally well-coached, talented up front, our linebackers fill the gaps, and our DBs stick their guys up, so it’s really hard to not do good.”

Peoria finally got on the scoreboard on its first series of the second half when Jaleen James (19 carries, 122 yards) ran in from a yard out with 8:13 left in the third. But on the Lions’ next possession, the defensive line blocked a punt in the end zone for a safety.

Montalvo scored from three yards out two plays into the final quarter to make it 26-7. The Warriors senior back capped two-play drives with long scoring runs, while James ran in again from a yard out to cap the scoring for Peoria, which had averaged 47 points a game.

After finishing with 188 yards and three scores on 16 carries in the final half, Montalvo credited his offensive line of Nathaniel Henry, Brett Bergman, Jason Lucinski, Bryan Brokop and Justin Witt for his big performance.

“Coach keeps telling us that we’re the best team in Lincoln-Way West history, and that’s pretty exciting,” Montalvo said. “But our goal is to not just make it to the next round or the finals, but to win it. We wanted to make this game for the other teams that made it to the quarterfinals. We wanted to show them that what they did was worth it.”

Also for West, quarterback Connor Lowman was 17 of 24 for 131 yards, while Ben Zordani caught seven passes for 56 yards and Dylan McHale had five receptions for 34 yards.

“It’s nice to get over that quarterfinal hump,” Brokop said. “We know that we have the group of guys who can do it, we work hard and play for each other. We all have that one goal in mind, and we’re going to get it done. Our line all gets along, and we’re like a brotherhood. It also helps that we’re big and strong and have good chemistry.”

CLASS 5A IHSA FOOTBALL QUARTERFINAL: NAZARETH ACADEMY 35, JOLIET CATHOLIC 21

By DICK GOSS LaGRANGE PARK – There are two ways to summarize Joliet Catholic’s 35-21 loss to East Suburban Catholic Conference rival Nazareth in Saturday’s quarterfinal in the Class 5A state football playoffs.

Murphy’s Law gets the kudos, as everything that could go wrong did go wrong for the Hilltoppers (10-2). Or, credit the Roadrunners (10-2) for the quality team they are.

There was plenty of both analyses emanating from the JCA camp in the aftermath.

“They have pure talent,” JCA defensive end and kicker Zach Lukasik said. “It was the battle of the giants. We knew going in that whoever won this game would be in good shape to go to state.”

“Julian [Love, a Notre Dame recruit] is an amazing athlete for them,” Hilltoppers coach Dan Sharp said of the two-way standout who does everything.

“I’ve been in coaching 38 years, and he is one of the best football players I have ever gone against.”

As for Murphy’s Law, start at the beginning.

An uncharacteristic mixup in the JCA backfield on the first play from scrimmage resulted in a fumble that Nazareth’s Christian Davis recovered on the Hilltoppers’ 27.

Moments later, on third-andgoal from the 9, Carson Bartels hit Davis for the first touchdown.

Davis was heard from again on the Hilltoppers’ next possession. He picked off Cade Earl’s pass on the Nazareth 26 and weaved his way 74 yards for a touchdown. With 8:18 left in the first quarter, JCA trailed, 14-0.

Try as they might, the Hilltoppers never could catch up.

“I hate it when you play against a good team and make those mistakes,” Sharp said.

“Turnovers were haunting us all day.”

JCA rebounded with a 71yard scoring drive. Earl took it in on a 5-yard bootleg to get within 14-7. Love restored the two-touchdown spread when he took a short pass over the middle on a second-and-25 on

the next possession and converted it into a 66-yard scoring play.

Yet the Hilltoppers were not going away. They marched 97 yards in 17 plays, capped by Harry Davis’ 10-yard run, to make it 21-14 midway through the second quarter.

The JCA defense was beginning to take over as well in the second quarter. The Hilltoppers finished the first half running 44 offensive plays to Nazareth’s 11 and had 212 yards from scrimmage to Nazareth’s 108, yet trailed, 21-14.

Bartels was a thorn in JCA’s side, completing 12 of 18 passes for 186 yards. But early in the third quarter, cornerback Luke Phelan came up with an interception and returned it to the Nazareth 37, but the Hilltoppers went three-and-out.

“We were anticipating [Bartels] taking advantage of openings in the line and running more,” Lukasik said. “He stayed in there and threw more than we anticipated.”

Later in the third quarter, the Roadrunners drove 86 yards to stretch their lead to

28-14. Then up popped more of Murphy’s Law. First, Nazareth’s rolling kickoff stopped at the 1 instead of finding the end, giving the Hilltoppers something they faced most of the day – relatively bad field position.

But after a lengthy punt by Earl, Nazareth was pinned at its 2. JCA defensive tackle Ken Aguirre belted Nazareth running back Ivory Kelly-Martin, apparently in the end zone for a safety. However, Aguirre forced a fumble that rolled toward the back of the end zone.

If the Hilltoppers recover, it’s a touchdown. Instead, Bartels picked it up and ran it to the 3.

“I remember being on the ground, the ball being a few feet away, and me trying to crawl after it,” Lukasik said. “But the quarterback picked it up and got it out of there.”

On JCA’s next possession, Michael Johnson [28 rushes, 153 yards] went airborne trying to dive into the end zone on a run from the Nazareth 11. He went down at about the 1 but lost the ball in the process. The officials ruled fumble, and Naz-

areth’s Christopher Simmons recovered in the end zone.

“I reached out and felt my knees down before they hit the ball out and grabbed it,” said Johnson, who appealed the decision to the officials, but to no avail.

The Hilltoppers went 69 yards to score on their next possession with Earl sneaking in to cut the deficit to 28-21 with 6:19 left. But Love, running out of the wildcat formation, raced 77 yards a couple plays later to make it 35-21.

JCA’s last hope evaporated as the ensuing line-drive kickoff struck a Hilltopper up man in the face mask and rolled backward and toward the JCA sideline. Nazareth was ruled to have recovered it inbounds despite vehement protests from JCA coaches. That sealed the deal.

“It was four plays that created four scores for them or took one from us,” Sharp said.

“We made mistakes, Murphy’s Law was happening. But did our kids fight back. They kept playing. This team will always be near and dear to me.”

CLASS 3A IHSA GIRLS VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP: MARIAN CENTRAL 2, JOLIET CATHOLIC 1 (16-25, 25-18, 25-12)

JCA falls to Marian Central in 3A final Gritty Angels claim second straight second-place trophy

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com NORMAL – Smiles filled the Joliet Catholic volleyball team’s bench from ear-to-ear after the first game of the Class 3A state championship match.

The Angels beat Marian Central, 25-16, in dominating fashion and were 25 points from raising the program’s fourth championship banner.

Before anyone could blink, confusion and tears replaced the smiles.

Marian Central beat JCA, 16-25, 25-18, 25-12, to win the Class 3A state title Saturday evening at Redbird Arena on the Illinois State University campus.

It wasn’t a lack of effort that lost Joliet Catholic the match and gave Marian Central its first state volleyball title. The Angels played flawless volleyball in the first game, then the Hurricanes adjusted their game.

“I think the thing that got to us the most was they started playing really scrappy defense and started picking up everything,” JCA senior setter Jessica Simon said.

Once Marian Central started picking up JCA’s attack, Rachel Giustino (15 kills) and Lauren Hanlon (12 kills) were able to dominate and the defense limited the Angels to only 15 kills in the last two games.

Even though the loss was upsetting, the Angels know they will look back on their second-place finish with pride.

“We really just need to take a step back and look at how lucky we are that we actually made it down here two times in a row,” senior libero Meghan Harrison said. “Most people don’t get that opportunity. Most girls are sitting at home right now wishing they were us. We are very blessed to be here right now.”

JCA (26-13) took a different road from last year’s trip to state.

Some volleyball teams reach final on the strength of

Joliet Catholic’s Megan Cladis concentrates on the ball Saturday as she prepares to hit it past Marian Central during Saturday’s IHSA Class 3A volleyball championship at Illinois State University in Bloomington. one all-star hitter – the one who puts the ball away in critical moments each game. Last year, JCA’s big player was Mary Murphy.

This year, however, the Angels didn’t have “that” player.

The Angels had “those” players.

Six players registered at least three kills in the semifinal victory, 25-21, 25-27, 25-13 Friday against LaSalle-Peru (28-11). Those same six added at least two kills against the Hurricanes (39-3).

Simon and senior outside hitter Megan Cladis led the Angels in both matches. Simon totaled 15 kills, 26 assists, 18 digs, four aces and two blocks; and Cladis had 17 kills, 13 digs, four aces and two blocks for the weekend.

The Angels, however, had impressive performances across the board.

“We really just need to take a step back and look at how lucky we are that we actually made it down here two times in a row.”

Meghan Harrison Joliet Catholic senior libero

Megan Melone posted 28 assists and 13 digs, while Harrison added 24 digs. Sarah Nahas (seven kills) had a season-high five kills in the semifinal, while Taylor Zurliene tallied 11 kills. Andriana Acosta (10 kills, three blocks) and Addy Alt (five kills, three blocks) also had strong matches.

As JCA coach Christine Scheibe said after the semifinal victory, “I’d hate to be another team scouting us, because we do use all of our hitters, and we try to find the

hot hand every night, whereas some other teams are more predictable with what they do.

“We just try to use all of our hitters as much as possible, try to find out who’s having the good night and try feeding that person as much as possible. That’s worked for us all season, and we haven’t had to rely on a superstar all year long. That has just made us a stronger team.”

It’s that team balance that helped this group of Angels ce-

ment JCA as one of the most successful teams in Class 3A volleyball to date.

The Angels have played in the title match five times since the classes split in 2007, the most in Class 3A history.

Before Marian Central’s victory, JCA was one of only four teams to win the Class 3A title. St Francis (three titles), Breese Mater Dei (two) and Crystal Lake Central (one) now play in Class 4A. Potentially, Joliet Catholic will join them next year because of the IHSA success adjustment, which is something the Angels aren’t worried about.

“We’ve done it before in the big class back in 2003 when there was just two classes; and in ’05 and ’06, we made it down here also with the two-class system when we were going

Continued from page 46 up against the big schools,” Scheibe said. “We competed against them before, and I don’t think there’s any reason why we can’t. I know I have a good group of sophomores coming up and some young kids who might be varsity ready for next year.

“Sarah Nahas has a whole year of playing underneath her. Emily Holbrook has been with us for most of the season and has gotten some quality playing time. Morgan Leuszler, she’s been out on the floor against Assumption (Kentucky).

“All of those girls are coming back with a lot of experience, and we’ve got a real strong sophomore group coming up behind to add to the juniors we have. You take one year at a time. We’ll do what we have to to try and get back here again no matter what class we’re playing in.”

JCA has another talented group that will look to make a mark on the program next season, but this year might be remembered by many as a special group. It will be the group that fought so hard to make it back to the title match.

Even in the finals, players played through injury.

Cladis didn’t play 13 matches during regular season because of a stress fracture in her back. Libero Harrison pulled her hamstring Thursday during practice and played both matches with a sleeve on her leg. Neither injury stopped the girls from playing and putting everything out on the floor for their last match.

Cladis and Harrison are two of six seniors – Alt, Acosta, Melone and Caroline Ley are the others – who will not play volleyball collegiately. Simon will continue her athletic career at Augustana.

“I think the thing I’ll remember most about this group is their toughness and their grit,” Scheibe said. “We by far are not the biggest team out there. We’re not necessarily the healthiest team out there, and they just fight through everything.”

“It is a little disappointing that we didn’t win, because we wanted to win; but in all honesty, we gave it our best shot, and it is something to be proud of to get second in state twice in a row,” Cladis said. “People don’t get to say that they did that. I’m proud to have gone through my high school career and tell people I got second in state twice when I was at JCA, and it’s something to really hold your head high for.”

Morris’ Korte makes it official, will play for Illini “The Big 10 is great competition. It’s one of the best volleyball conferences in the country, so I am excited to play there. It’s going to be sad to leave here, but I am also excited for a fresh start down there.”

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A long wait came to an end for Kaylin Korte on Wednesday morning.

That’s when the Morris senior volleyball standout, who verbally committed to play for the University of Illinois when she was still a sophomore, finally signed her national Letter of Intent to make it official. She will be a Fighting Illini next fall.

“March 3, 2013,” Korte said. “That’s when I verbally committed, and it’s a date I will never forget. I have been waiting for two years for this moment, and I am so excited.”

In between those two dates, she put together some of the most memorable moments ever seen on a volleyball court in Morris. In the process, she set the school record for kills in a career, kill attempts in a career and blocks in a career, just to name a few. She also led the Redskins this season to their first regional championship since 2011 and nearly

Korte, who plans to major in hotel management, was enamored with U of I from the start.

“I am excited to get down there and get started,” she

said. “I just love the coaching staff, the atmosphere, and it’s just an awesome school. No matter what you study down there, it’s just a great school, and you are going to get a great education.

there.”

Another person who will be sad at Korte’s departure is Morris coach Taylor Lafond, who has seen Korte’s impact on the program for three years as an assistant and this season in her first year as varsity coach.

“It’s hard to say goodbye to a player like Kaylin,” Lafond said. “She has had so much

of an impact on our program and been so helpful to the other girls on the team. Sometimes, you get a player that is successful on the club level, and they kind of view their high school season as time off. But Kaylin really wanted to help the other girls on her high school team get better and was dedicated to her high school program.

“She was able to make the girls around her better, and that’s the mark of a great player. Not only do they see how hard she works, but she also kind of directed them on the court. They all saw how hard she works at her game yearround and what it takes to become a player that can play at the high Division I level. For a player like that to be so dedicated to her high school program is just awesome.

“Kaylin has just been a phenomenal player for us, and her achievements speak for themselves. Her numbers are like a video game. It’s kind of fun to look back and see what one player can do in four years.”

USF rolls past Olivet, now waits to hear playoff fate

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – University of St. Francis played its best game of the season Saturday.

The Fighting Saints scored a 40-0 shutout over Olivet Nazarene – the first in Joe Curry’s four years as coach – to improve to 8-3 and 4-1 in the Mid-States Football Association’s Midwest League to gain a co-championship with St. Xavier.

The offense piled up 428 yards. Quarterback Don Butkus threw for three touchdowns for the third time this season and ran for two more.

John Magee ran for 105 yards and a touchdown.

The defense held the Tigers to 207 yards, recorded five sacks and generally ruled the artificial turf on senior day at Memorial Stadium as Olivet

(3-8, 1-4) dropped its fourth in succession.

But wait, there’s more.

At least, the Saints hope so.

Their romp – and Robert Morris’ 27-7 loss at St. Ambrose – tilted the odds to snag an NAIA playoff berth for the first time since 2011 in St. Francis’ favor.

The Saints will know at 4 p.m.

Sunday, which means they’ll have waited about 24 hours, 10 minutes from the final horn to learn their playoff fate.

Linebacker Jamal Graham, one of the defensive captains, was confident after his seven-tackle showing.

“We’ve worked hard all year long,” Graham said. “Today, we dominated from the start of the game to the end of the game. This makes our defense that much better. All week long, we practiced about

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

The University of St. Francis’ Charnelle Reed drives to the basket around Goshen College’s Gabby Williams during Friday’s game at USF’s Sullivan Center in Joliet. USF won, 98-73.

Stritch two days earlier, made good on 20 of their 33 first-half attempts (60.6 percent) and didn’t cool off much as the contest continued, finishing with 39 of 68 accuracy (57.4 percent).

They also made good on 12 of 25 3-point tries (48 percent).

Meanwhile, the Saints’ defense limited Goshen to 11 of 31 shooting from the floor in the first half (35.5 percent). The Maple Leafs warmed up after the break, going 26 of 56 for the night (46.4 percent), but much

of that happened after the outcome became clear.

Jordan Giddings made all eight of her shots, including five beyond the 3-point arc, to finish with a game-high 22 points while adding five rebounds and two blocks for USF. “It’s really nice that our team has a lot of people who can play so many positions and do many things,” Giddings said.

“Some of us can shoot from outside and also post up, and it’s so nice to have people who

JOLIET – Samantha Quigley knows three games certainly isn’t indicative of much.

But the University of St. Francis women’s basketball coach already has seen enough encouraging signs to be feeling pretty optimistic about the 2015-16 season.

On Friday, the Saints got off to their first 3-0 start since the 2008-09 season when they used a good beginning to help them capture a 98-73 nonconference win over previously unbeaten Goshen College on Quigley Court at the Sullivan Center.

Four players reached double figures as USF (3-0) jumped out to a 20-point lead in the first quarter and never was threatened after that by the Maple Leafs (4-1).

“This is a group that really worked over the summer, and it’s really showing,” Quigley said. “It really helps a lot when you pick up the ball in the offseason. A huge emphasis of ours has been defense, and we’re trying to play tough man-to-man to make it hard for them. Our veterans are digging in and defending, and that makes a world of difference.

“This is a really good team that we beat. We got off to a great start, and it does help when you shoot well, but we defended really well, too. I think that we’re really versatile.

We’ve got good shooters and kids who can take people off the dribble, and we also have some real athletes. And they’re getting better every day, which is what you love to see as a coach.

We compete every single day against each other and then take that out to the court.”

The Saints, who pulled out a 58-57 win at No. 11 Cardinal

to school, we haven’t had a day off, and that really helps now.

Each team that we’ve played has been good, so beating them really shows something. The key is to keep doing what we need to do and not always worry about the other team.”

Charnelle Reed scored 18 points and had seven assists, grabbed four rebounds and created four turnovers.

Angelica Osusky (five rebounds) and Kamari Jordan added 13 points each. Renee Martin scored nine points, Nichole Davidson added eight more, and Christina Ekhomu chipped in with six assists and four boards.

While the Saints have a different look after the loss of some key performers, including NAIA Division II season-scoring leader and three-time All-American Katie Gonnering, they seem once again to have the ability to score a lot of points, after also collecting 93 in their opener against Bethel.

“There have definitely been good signs,” Reed said. “Coach always says to keep the ball rolling, keep our hard hats on and don’t underestimate any team and just play basketball and do what we have to do.

I really like the chemistry on our team. Tonight, we had 24 assists, so we’re really about sharing the ball and playing real unselfish basketball.

“When we have to dig deep, we know how to, and I think that separates us from other teams. We know how to stick together in order to get the win.

If you just play on the court, you’ll only be so good, so you have to put in the work outside of the lines in order to be successful, and that’s what we do.

We just need to keep staying focused.”

Dick Goss The pairing of Mike Ditka with Mark Grant was so dynamic, there is suspicion it caused the power outage that struck Thursday night at Joliet Catholic Academy.

Whatever the reason, the crowd of about 700 at the Joliet Catholic Alumni Association Hilltopper Banquet in the Student Activity Center spent a while in silence and darkness.

Once things got rolling, however, the program was as entertaining as expected. A format where Grant serves as master of ceremonies and goes back and forth with Ditka is a can’t-miss.

Grant is a Joliet Catholic graduate (Class of 1981), a former major league pitcher and current TV color analyst on San Diego Padres games.

He needs little introduction, and the same certainly applies to Ditka.

“Iron Mike,” or “Da Coach” if you prefer, is the former tight end who helped the Bears win the 1963 NFL championship and later became the first tight end elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

He also coached the 1985 Bears to the Super Bowl championship, a team many consider among the best of all time. He owns several restaurants, works tirelessly for charities and is an analyst on Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown on ESPN. His TV work might be short-lived, however. Ditka said the travel is getting to be too much, and he is not fond of the format of the shows he is on, including the far-toofrequent spouting of statistics by his colleagues. He said his contract will be up after this season and that might be it.

The work for charities will continue – among them, The Mike Ditka Foundation, which raises funds for Misericordia, a residential facility for developmentally disabled children and for pediatric AIDS research programs, and the Gridiron Great Foundation, which Ditka said helps

suffering former NFL players live dignified lives.

That is the essence of Ditka. Grant, like so many in the audience who never had met him before Thursday’s event, came away impressed with how important giving back and sharing are in his life.

Grant began the give-andtake with his introduction of Ditka, saying, “This guy is a real stud, a real big name,” and added other words of praise. To which Ditka responded, “I hope I don’t have to shovel the whole load you just put out there.”

Playing to the audience, Ditka complimented Joliet Catholic graduate Tom Thayer – who, of course, was the right guard on the Super Bowl championship team he coached. “Tommy Thayer was a great player,” he said.

The thought occurred to Grant that Ditka has been seen wearing a jersey of the bitter rival Green Bay Packers in a McDonald’s commercial.

“What’s up with that?”

Grant asked. “It was for the commercial. Screw the Packers and the jersey,” Ditka said.

The crowd reacted, and Grant responded, “Hey, he’s Mike Ditka. He can wear a Joliet West jersey, for all I care.”

Ditka said he had an oppor-

tunity to play at Notre Dame rather than his alma mater of Pittsburgh. “My mother almost killed me,” he said of his decision to attend Pitt.

“She was a devout Catholic.

But I didn’t go to Notre Dame.

I wanted to be a dentist. But after two semesters of chemistry, it was obvious I wasn’t going to be a dentist anywhere.”

Ditka was drafted by the Bears and the Houston Oilers of the old AFL in 1961. He said he sat down with Bears owner and coach George Halas, who offered a $12,000 salary and $6,000 signing bonus. There were no agents in those days.

“I had a terrific first year,” Ditka said. “The old man said he knew I missed a curfew a couple of times, and I did. I

enjoyed it.

“So he said, ‘I’ll give you a raise to $14,000.’ I said, ‘I got $18,000 my first year, so that’s no raise.’ So he pulled out a contract with $18,000 on it and told me I was getting that. I got no raise after having a great season. A dollar to him was as precious as air.”

Ditka said Halas and other early NFL owners “would be doing flip-flops in their graves in they knew what NFL players and teams were making these days.”

And all that celebrating that goes on when a touchdown is scored or a sack is recorded?

“Players have to respect the game more than they do now,” Ditka said. Grant asked

what his touchdown dance would be if were playing now.

“There would be no touchdown dance,” he said.

“What players today have to realize is that the game is not about individuals – it’s about team. If in the process of the team succeeding an individual player winds up making a lot money, that’s fine. But team is what it’s all about.”

Before the program began, Ditka took a few minutes to address the members of the Joliet Catholic football team, which was preparing to take on Nazareth on Saturday in the Class 5A state quarterfinals. Hilltoppers coach Dan Sharp said Ditka’s message to the team “was about respecting the game and respecting your opponent.

“He was great for our guys to hear.”

Before the night was over, Ditka responded to many more of Grant’s questions and others from the audience. The power was out for a while, but the Ditka-with-Grant show continued to shine.

Ditka’s words of wit and wisdom on other topics will be covered in a subsequent column.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: BEARS AT ST. LOUIS RAMS

Leno key to keeping Cutler, team in game

By KEVIN FISHBAIN How to watch/listen: Noon kickoff on CBS (Andrew Catalon, Steve Tasker, Steve Beuerlein); can be heard on AM-780 and 105.9-FM (Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, Zach Zaidman) Last time they met: Nov. 24, 2013; Rams won, 42-21, at Edward Jones Dome Key matchup to watch: Rams defensive end Robert Quinn vs. Bears left tackle Charles Leno. Todd Gurley is going to get his, but will Jay Cutler and the Bears’ passing offense get theirs? As long as Cutler has been in the game, the Bears have been competitive this season. Part of that is because the pass protection and his ability to move within the pocket to avoid pass rushers and make plays on the run.

On Sunday, he faces a formidable Rams front seven that will come after him in waves

downs and keeping the Rams’ pass rush at bay. When in the red zone, they have to capitalize against the league’s top defense inside the 20-yard line. On defense, they have to stop Gurley on first down.

The rookie is averaging an astounding 6.6 yards a pop on first down. The Rams’ weakness is in the passing game, and they’ll only throw it if the Bears can stop Gurley on early downs.

The Rams will win if … : Their pass rush does what no group has done this year, and that’s harass Cutler to the point of putting him on the turf often.

Cutler has been sacked only once in each of the past three games. On offense, if they feed Gurley and take advantage of a Bears defense lacking in personnel, they should be able to move the ball effectively, but also have to get rid of red-zone struggles.

Fishbain’s pick: Rams 17, Bears 13

Melvin Ingram used speed around the edge to beat Leno last week for a strip-sack of Cutler. Leno held his own the rest of the game, but he can’t afford those kind of miscues against the Rams. The Bears are going to have a difficult time moving the football; but

if Leno can neutralize Quinn with his long arms and good footwork to avoid Quinn bending around the edge, it will give the Bears’ offense less to worry about.

The Bears will win if … : The offense produces methodical, long drives by collecting first

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

Late touchdown boosts Wildcats over Purdue The ASSOCIATED PRESS

NO. 2 OHIO STATE 28, ILLINOIS 3

Buckeyes able to run past Illini DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Ezekiel Elliott ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns and No. 2 Ohio State pounded out a 28-3 victory over Illinois on Saturday.

The Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) started slowly and led ,73, for much of the first half before Elliott picked up the pace.

Elliott accounted for 50 of the Buckeyes’ 75 yards on a thirdquarter drive that opened a 21-3 lead over the Illini (5-5, 2-4). His 10-yard scoring run with just less than 10 minutes left closed out the scoring.

Quarterback J.T. Barrett, starting again after being suspended for last week’s game, threw for 150 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also ran for 74 yards.

Ohio State held the Illini to 20 yards rushing. Illini quarterback Wes Lunt was 23 of 47 for 241 yards.

Illinois had chances to stay in the game, but made too many mistakes.

Dawuane Smoot set Illinois up at the Ohio State 31 late in the second quarter when he recovered a Barrett fumble.

Taylor Zalewski’s 50-yard field goal attempt banged off the

right upright, and the Buckeyes maintained their 7-3 lead.

After a long drive fizzled in the second half, holder Ryan Frain failed to get the snap down for Zalewski’s 49-yard attempt. Frain tried to scramble for a first down but fumbled.

That’s when Ohio State turned to Elliott. He opened the drive with a 16-yard blast through the Illinois line, and the Buckeyes’ fans finally had something to cheer about.

And with 6:57 left in the third quarter, he ended the drive with a 1-yard plunge into the end zone.

NO. 6 NOTRE DAME 28, WAKE FOREST 7

98-yard TD lifts Irish past Wake Forest TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Josh Adams scored on a 98-yard run, the longest scoring play from scrimmage in Notre Dame history, and defensive end Andrew Trumbetti scored on a 28yard interception as the sixthranked Fighting Irish beat Wake Forest, 28-7, Saturday despite struggling offensively.

Adams started and ran for 141 yards with Notre Dame’s leading rusher C.J. Prosise sidelined while recovering from a concussion. Adams, listed fourth on the Irish depth chart in the preseason, posted his second straight 100-yard game and third of the season.

DeShone Kizer added touchdown runs of 12 and five yards for the Irish (9-1, No. 4 CFP).

Quarterback John Wolford scored on a 1-yard run in the third quarter for Wake Forest (3-7), but the Demon Deacons squandered three other redzone opportunities.

The Irish were held to less than 400 yards of total offense for the first time this season, as Wake Forest outgained Notre Dame, 340 yards to 282. Kizer was 13 of 19 for 111 yards.

Will Fuller, who was averaging 100 yards a game receiving, was limited to three catches for 37 yards.

Wolford was 19 of 30 for 219 yards with one interception for the Demon Deacons. Tyler

Bell rushed for 90 yards on 23 carries.

The most memorable play was the run by Adams in the second quarter to give Notre Dame a 21-0 lead.

The Irish started with the ball on the 1-yard line when Bell was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-goal.

Kizer then picked up a yard.

Adams took the ensuing handoff, broke one tackle then stiff-armed defensive back Ryan Janvion and ran untouched the rest of the way up the right sideline for the 98yard score. It was the longest rushing play in Notre Dame history, surpassing the 92yard run by Bob Livingstone against USC in 1947.

No. 15 Michigan 48, Indiana 41 (2 OT): At Blooming-

ton, Indiana, Mitchell Paige bobbled a fourth-down pass at the goal line that would have forced a third overtime and No. 15 Michigan fended off feisty Indiana to keep its conference title hopes alive.

Jake Rudock forced overtime with a touchdown pass with two seconds left in regulation and threw two more on back-to-back plays to lead Michigan to the double-overtime win.

Rudock finished 33 of 46 with 440 yards and six touchdowns – four to Jehu Chesson, who caught 10 passes for 207 yards.

The Wolverines (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten, No. 14 CFB) won their third straight.

Indiana (4-6, 0-6) has lost six straight since winning its first four and has dropped 20 straight in what has been a lopsided series.

Jordan Howard ran 35 times for 238 yards and two

No. 14 Michigan State 24, Maryland 7: At East Lansing,

Michigan, Connor Cook left the game at halftime with an apparent shoulder injury, putting a bit of a damper on No. 14 Michigan State’s victory over Maryland.

The Spartans (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten) have been dealing with injuries all season, particularly on the offensive line and in the secondary, but if Cook is limited, Michigan State could be a significant underdog in next weekend’s showdown at Ohio State.

Even with Michigan State’s star quarterback out, Maryland (2-8, 0-6) didn’t pose much of an upset threat. The Terrapins turned the ball over five times.

Cook hurt himself during the first quarter, and although he came back in the game for a bit, backup Tyler O’Connor played the second half.

Nebraska 31, Rutgers 14:

At Piscataway, New Jersey, tight end Cethan Carter rambled 32 yards for a touchdown on his first career carry and caught one of three touchdown passes by Tommy Armstrong as Nebraska kept its bowl hopes alive.

Jordan Westerkamp and Alonzo Moore also caught touchdown passes and Drew Brown kicked a 44-yard field goal as the Cornhuskers (56, 3-4 Big Ten) won their second straight and put themselves in position for a .500 regular season and a bowl bid if they can beat No. 8 Iowa at home Nov. 27.

Robert Martin scored on a 1-yard run and quarterback Chris Laviano caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from receiver Janarion Grant for Rutgers (3-7, 1-6), which lost its fourth straight game, putting coach Kyle Flood’s future in jeopardy after a turbulent season.

EVANSTON – Justin Jackson ran for 116 yards and a late touchdown, and Warren Long added two rushing TDs to lead No. 24 Northwestern to a 21-14 victory over Purdue on Saturday.

With a school record for wins and a spot in a prestigious bowl in reach, Northwestern (8-2, 4-2 Big Ten, No. 18 CFP) pulled out another close game.

Jackson plowed in from the 2 with 4:37 remaining to cap a 58-yard drive. The Wildcats converted four third downs, including the TD, on the possession and quarterback Clayton Thorson broke off back-to-back 16-yard runs to put the ball on the 5.

Jackson’s TD lifted Northwestern to its third straight win. The Wildcats beat Nebraska and Penn State in their past two games, both wins by two points.

Purdue (2-8, 1-5) dropped its second straight and remained winless against ranked teams since 2011.

TDs to lead the Hoosiers.

Nate Sudfeld’s pass on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line was bobbled and broken up by Michigan safety Delano Hill.

Kane scores again, Hawks beat Blues The ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS – Patrick Kane scored the tiebreaking goal late in the second period to extend his points streak to 12 games and lead the Blackhawks to a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night.

Andrew Shaw, Trevor van Riemsdyk and Artem Anisimov also scored for the Hawks and Corey Crawford stopped 29 shots. The Hawks, who had lost three of their last four and five of seven, snapped a five-game road losing streak.

Vladimir Tarasenko scored twice for the Blues, who had won three of four and six of their last eighth. Jake Allen finished with 23 saves.

Kane 12th goal of the season gave him nine goals and 11 assists during his streak — the longest in the league this season.

The Blues beat the Blackhawks 6-5 in overtime in Chicago on Nov. 4. Chicago got some reinforcements for the rematch with the return of defensemen Duncan Keith and Michal Rozsival from injuries.

Keith missed 10 games after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Rozsival made his season debut after fracturing his left ankle in Chicago’s playoff series against the Minnesota Wild last spring.

USF needed to impress playoff selection committee • FOOTBALL

Continued from page 48 being in sync.”

The Saints raced to a 14-0 lead after a quarter on rushing touchdowns by Butkus and Magee, and added another touchdown – Butkus collaborating with Adam Morrison on a 13-yard strike – before halftime. He also would hit Magee on a 37-yard scoring pass in the third quarter and Brandon Noland from the 14 midway through the fourth.

Curry is not one to run up the score. Saturday, he had to

go against type to impress the selection committee.

“Our special teams coordinator kept asking, ‘Are we punting?’ No! We were trying all day to try to score some points because we knew we had to impress,” Curry said.

“Our kids played in the situation great, and it showed on the scoreboard.

“We talked all week about controlling what we could control, and the only thing we could control was come out today and make a statement.

A conference championship doesn’t come around every year.”

The need to sway the selectors also is why Butkus passed so often in the fourth quarter.

He finished 17 of 30 for 221 yards, the two interceptions coming from working to pile up points. It was in contrast to last week’s 8-of-25 reading in a 28-0 setback at Marian.

“This week was all about being consistent and disciplined, about being focused,” Butkus said. “It was about trust, which we preach all the time. And our defense, I can’t thank them enough.”

For two seniors, John Magee and twin Sheldon, who caught four passes for 74 yards,

it might have been their last football game after standout careers with the Saints and Plainfield South “It means a lot,” John Magee said. “Been here five years, battled through injuries, finally get a conference championship again, and the potential of more.”

He wants more.

“It would mean a lot,” he said. “Getting into the playoffs means having a chance at the national championship.”

They’ll know Sunday afternoon, when someone elsewhere will tell them if they hang up the gear or get to play again.

trash and treasure Joliet-area metal detectors fascinated at potential ‘finds’ beneath the ground

IF YOU GO

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When metal detector enthusiast Tom Kallai of Joliet found the Miami University class ring, he didn’t hesitate.

Kallai said he searched the ring for a name and contacted the owner, Tom Auble of Plainfield.

Auble said his wife Corinne took the call and then phoned him at work. Auble listened, stunned. He lost that ring on Mother’s Day in 2007 while attending his daughter’s soccer game. To Auble, this was no common ring.

As a boy, Auble loved wearing his father’s class ring, but had no interest in getting his own until his father surprised him with one for Auble’s birthday – May 16 – in 1995. Auble’s father died two years later.

So when Auble lost it in 2007 around the same date, he also lost a treasured connection to his father. Auble – who searched many hours for that ring – still can’t believe it’s back after all these years.

“I get chills thinking about it,” Auble said.

Kallai, one of the 136 members of the Will County Historical Research and Recovery Association, was happy to help.

He tries to go metal detecting every day, but doesn’t often turn up significant items.

“It takes a lot of bottle caps to get something exciting,” Kallai said.

In addition to the fun of metal detecting, Club President Chester Kiernicki, of Darien, said members also work with historians to preserve the past.

They have retrieved 2-cent pennies (the price for a can of

TOP: Kallai holds a pan of change and other assorted pieces of metal Wednesday before going out to hunt for more metal. milk) at a former Tinley Park milk house, Kiernicki said, as well as two dozen dimes from the mid-1800s and pieces of women’s jewelry from a former 19th-century Bible camp in Wisconsin that eventually was bulldozed for an apartment complex.

Kiernicki said he recently found a 1905 barber dime at a Chicago park. The inherent value of such items, Kiernicki said, is not monetary value, but legacy.

“They’re part of our nation and the fabric of our lives,” Kiernicki said.

Jan Nahorski of Joliet said he founded the club in 1980 as

the Will County Metal Detector Club simply because metal-detecting always fascinated him and the area had no organization for enthusiasts.

About a dozen people came to the first meeting at the downtown branch of the Joliet Public Library, where they created rules, regulations and objectives, and initiated monthly club hunts for members and “Find of the Month” contests, Nahorski said.

In 1989, Nahorski had to step back from metal detecting, but when he returned to the club years later, he happily found the name had changed and both objectives and mem-

bership had grown.

Even the equipment was improved, as it provided the operator with information about the detected object, which helps prevent digging up scrap, Nahorski said. That perk is good and bad.

“If you’re in a park and don’t dig up every pull tab, you might miss something,” Nahorski said. “But if you’re in an open field or a forest and you get a ‘gold’ signal, I’m going to dig. I might get a gold earring or ring.”

One memorable find was a 1942 mercury dime perfectly lodged inside an engagement ring, Nahorski said. Items

more commonly found include pocket knives, harmonica reeds, dog tags, metal seals, coins and store tokens, such as the 10-cent token Nahorski found from a general store in El Paso.

“If you go to a ball field and find a quarter, a dime and four pennies, you’ve got nothing more than 39 cents,” Nahorski said. “But if you find a 1937 wheat penny, you go, ‘Hmm, why is this wheat penny here?’

The Internet has been a real godsend to us.”

Nahorski stressed the club’s high code of ethics. If an object of any perceived value is found, members thoroughly research it, with the goal of connecting it to the owner. Junk metal – pop tabs and “metal slaw” (pop cans shredded by lawnmowers) – is collected and thrown away, so passers-by don’t get hurt, Nahorski said.

The same diligence is part of the actual detecting process.

People commonly assume metal detectors dig large holes and scar the land when the opposite is true – especially among trained metal detectors, Nahorski said, who leave little to no trace of their activities.

“When we return the dirt to the hole, we flap the grass over it,” Nahorski said, “and it regenerates.”

JOLIET – Two Joliet Junior College culinary students won top spots in Pastry Live’s national Student Chocolate Challenge this year, a competition where Brooke Ball, second place, and Megan Kuk, third place, were asked to create chocolate sculptures that encompassed the theme of toys.

This was the first time either of them had ever participated in a culinary competition.

Kuk, of Plainfield, and Ball, of New Lenox, practiced their designs for months.

When they drove to the competition in Atlanta, Georgia, Ball and Kuk learned how to travel with their partly made showpieces.

Before the competition began, both students pieced together their sculptures in their hotel rooms, working

Elizabeth Eichelberger Elementary School third-graders recently learned about reptiles and amphibians firsthand during a visit from Dave DiNaso’s Traveling World of Reptiles. They touched and held creatures of all kinds, from snakes and lizards to turtles and bullfrogs.

The Oct. 7 presentation was part of a third-grade science unit.

On Oct. 21, National Honor Society students at Lockport Township High School participated in an annual service day at the Northern Illinois Food bank.

The NHS students spent three hours labeling and packaging canned corn to be put into meal boxes to feed the hungry.

These board members, along with NHS board members from other schools in the SouthWest Suburban Conference, packaged 19,272 pounds of food, helping to feed 77,088 people. Participating National Honor Society board members from Lockport Township High School included Melanie Plotke, Mariah Dicksen, Carolyn Dietz and Emily Zaplatosch.

Joliet rain garden restored JOLIET – A group of students recently spent two mornings sprucing up the rain garden at 900 Westwood Ave., Joliet.

The plot is in the middle of a suburban neighborhood on the near west side of town.

The Westwood Avenue rain garden was planted in 2010, said Lisa Dorothy, the city of Joliet’s engineer. The Joliet Job Corps Center’s students have been involved with the project since its inception.

The garden is filled with plants that actually filter and

clean storm water gathered from about 12 nearby city blocks, she said. At the end of the process, the water flows into the Des Plaines River.

On Sept. 8 and Oct. 6, small groups of Joliet Job Corps Center students went to the rain garden to weed and clean the area. Working with Ginni Lester and Fran Beck of the Will County Wild Ones, an organization that is interested in the cultivation of native plants, they pulled weeds, cut down small trees, removed discarded construction debris and picked up litter.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

A trump promotion may be in the cards

CELEBRITY CIPHER

P.T. Barnum said, “Without promotion, something terrible happens ... nothing!”

In the circus business, that is no doubt true. But at the bridge table, if one side gains a trump promotion, it is terrible only for the other side.

In this deal, South is in four spades.

West leads the diamond two. South wins with dummy’s ace and plays the spade jack. East takes that trick and leads the diamond king. How should South continue?

Over East’s one-diamond opening, many players would overcall three spades with that South hand – and it would be a reasonable choice. But four spades has a lot going for it, being more inconvenient to the opponents, perhaps making it impossible for them to uncover a big heart fit. Also, remember, bid more with seven-four.

It is easy for declarer to be careless in this deal, assuming a favorable spade break and believing he will lose only two spades and one heart.

Suppose South ruffs the second diamond with the spade nine. West overruffs with the 10 and shifts to a heart.

East takes that trick and leads another diamond, which promotes a third trump trick for West’s eight.

If South ruffs the second diamond with the spade queen or king, he again loses three trump tricks.

As no doubt you have noticed, at trick three, South should not ruff at all; he should discard his singleton heart to cut the defenders’ communications.

When declarer ruffs the third diamond with the spade nine, yes, West overruffs, but South takes the rest by winning the next trick and drawing trumps.

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

up to 4 percent of adults report symptoms that could reflect milk allergy, ranging from stomach trouble to eczema. In most cases, though, milk allergy has not been confirmed by formal testing.

• Possible increased risk of certain diseases.

There is some evidence that high dairy intake may be associated with prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

• Some people have a condition called lactase deficiency. When they drink milk or eat other dairy products, they get abdominal pains, bloating, diarrhea, vomiting and other unpleasant symptoms.

For me, the bottom line is “all things in moderation.” If you like milk, try using low-fat or nonfat varieties. Whole milk has about 3 percent fat. Moreover, much of that fat is “bad fat” – saturated fat. Skim milk has essentially no fat.

Most stores carry both 2 percent and 1 percent fat milk, as well. So you have four choices.

Maybe you’ve tried skim milk and don’t like the taste. That was my experience. But when I tried 2 percent milk, I thought it tasted pretty good. So after using that for several months, I switched to 1 percent milk – and that tasted pretty good, too.

That’s what I use now.

When I was a kid, I remember a television commercial that said, “You never outgrow your need for milk.” That’s not the case. On the other hand, I can’t imagine cereal without milk.

Dear Dr. K: My parents made us drink milk every day, and I’ve continued that as an adult. A friend just told me that adults don’t need milk, and that it can even be bad for you.

What’s the truth?

Dear Reader: Like you, we always had milk when I was a kid. In fact, the coming of the milkman to deliver the milk at home (remember him?) was an important event each day. These days, I have milk on cereal, but I don’t drink it by the glass. As with most things, there are both benefits and risks.

The benefits: Milk is a good source of protein, calcium and vitamin D (in the United States, most milk is fortified with vitamin D). An 8-ounce serving of milk has approximately 8 to 9 grams of protein, 300 milligrams of calcium and 100 IU of vitamin D. Growing kids need it, for sure. And it’s one way for adults to meet the recommended daily requirements for protein, calcium and vitamin D. However, there are also risks to making milk your favorite beverage, especially if it’s whole milk: • Excess fat and calories. An 8-ounce serving of whole milk has 8 grams of fat (more than half of which are unhealthy saturated fat) and 150 calories.

• Dangerously high blood calcium levels.

People who drink a lot of milk and also consume excessive amounts of calcium-containing antacids or high-calcium foods are at risk for high blood calcium levels. This can occasionally lead to kidney stones and other health problems.

• Milk allergies. These are much more common in children. However, recent studies found that

diagnosis of a life-threatening illness can make a marriage stronger or it can destroy it.

While I’m reluctant to attribute a reason for what your wife did without hearing from her, I can’t help but think that she left because the cancer made her realize how short life is and, as much as you loved her, the marriage wasn’t a fulfilling one for her.

How sad for you, and I’m truly sorry. Because it’s clear you haven’t yet been able to get beyond what happened, you could benefit from discussing this with a licensed psychotherapist.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips problem is, I’m having doubts because I don’t know if she is “The One” – or if such a thing really exists. I don’t want to lose her because I’m searching for some mythical goddess on a pedestal.

Angela is my best friend and I’d do anything for her.

I don’t want to string her along, but I’m not sure if what I’m experiencing is just cold feet.

Next year I will be in medical school through the military.

I think I want to move our relationship forward, but I could use some advice.

Please help me make sure I don’t hurt her, either by proposing when I shouldn’t, or by leaving in search of the Holy Grail of relationships. – Anony-

mous in America Dear Anonymous: Why

are you are putting this pressure on yourself now?

Because you are unsure, you should leave for medical school. Once you are there, you will be immersed in your studies and you will also meet others.

If your feelings for Angela are as strong as they are now after six months, revisit the idea of proposing marriage.

But don’t do it now if in your heart you’re looking for a woman with qualities Angela doesn’t possess, because it would be unfair to both of you.

Dear Abby: When reading letters in your column concerning breast cancer, my heart goes out to every single person who has ever been diagnosed with this terrible disease. I have no respect for any man who cuts and runs when his wife is diagnosed with cancer.

But what do you think about a woman who is diagnosed and whose husband remains with her through the fear and worry, the chemo, radiation, hair loss and all the follow-up? A husband who worries constantly for her and whose biggest fear is losing his wonderful wife, and after all this – she leaves him for another man?

It has been more than seven years. I’m asking for feedback in the hope that people can view this issue not just from my perspective, but also from the afflicted loved one’s perspective as well. – Still
