It was wonderful to see the many local events and ceremonies on Veterans Day that honored those who serve.

And even better: there are many more opportunities to pay tribute to members of the military.

One is Dec. 13, which is Wreaths Across America. It’s a day when wreaths are laid on the graves of veterans buried in national cemeteries.

Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood is part of this, along with about 800 other cemeteries in the country.

Debbie Smothers is the local organizer for Wreaths Across America (she also is involved with Operation Care Package). She first went to the annual event in Elwood about seven years ago. About 30 people showed up, and about 40 wreaths were laid.

“My goal is to get a wreath out on every grave,” she said.

The most ever donated at the Elwood cemetery is 6,400; there are about 36,000 graves there, Smothers said.

“We are a long way from having every grave covered.”

It’s $15 to sponsor a wreath. You can request a volunteer lay the wreath for you, or you can go Dec. 13 and do so yourself. The ceremony starts at 11 a.m. that day.

Smothers needs to get the local donations in by Dec. 1; she’s asking to have donations to her by Nov. 26. You can send a check or money order, payable to Wreaths Across America, to OCP Wreath Project, 611 Wilcox St., Joliet, IL 60431.

If you’re more comfortable giving online, visit www. wreathsacrossamerica.org and do a search for Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.

Learn more about the local group by searching “Wreaths Across America - Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery”

in Facebook.

“I want to see a wreath on every veteran’s grave,” Smother said. “It’s the least we can do. It’s a great way to honor them.”

New Lenox village trustee to replace outgoing Will County Board member

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com New Lenox Village Board Trustee Ray Tuminello was chosen Thursday night by the Will County Republicans to replace outgoing County Board member Margo McDermed, R-Mokena.

McDermed was elected Nov. 4 to the Illinois House, replacing longtime lawmaker Renee Kosel, who decided not to seek re-election.

Tuminello was chosen Thursday out of a pool of four candidates, Will County Re-

publicans Chairman Edward Ronkowski said. For a transparent process, an ad-hoc committee consisting of local Republican leaders was formed to decide who would succeed McDermed, he said.

Tuminello is a longtime resident of New Lenox, serving on the Village Board since 2005. During that time, he chaired several committees, including Land Use and Streets and Drainage, according to his biography on Tuminello’s campaign website.

Tuminello unsuccessfully ran for Will County Board Dis-

trict 12 in the March 2012 primary against McDermed and current County Board member Tom Weigel.

McDermed will likely resign from her County Board position in early December and Tuminello will resign from the Village Board later this month, Ronkowski said.

Ronkowski will send a nomination letter to County Executive Larry Walsh, who has to sign off on the appointment. The County Board could vote on McDermed’s replacement as early as December, he said.

is able to contribute! We appreciate the excitement you will add to our learning experience,” the letter ends, and is then signed by about two dozen students.

It’s wonderful these children have a teacher who realizes learning doesn’t stop when kids pass through the classroom door. Imagine what these kids could learn if just one person per state sends them something. I plan to spend some time this weekend finding something to send their way.

Communities unite following damage from tornado one year ago

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

DIAMOND – Ed Bischoff finished his home repairs a few weeks ago.

New roof, siding, windows and doors. His house was gray with white trim for the first 13 years he lived in the Diamond Estates subdivision. Now it’s beige.

The rebuilding is finished for most of the houses in Bischoff’s neighborhood that were damaged or destroyed by the Nov. 17, 2013, tornado. Some of them have been completely redesigned.

But Bischoff said the biggest improvement in the neighborhood isn’t cosmetic.

“The way everyone has come together to help each other has made us closer,” he said.

“You see people care. We’ve all spent more time together. It’s changed relationships.”

“Nobody was killed and you can always rebuild brick and mortar,” Bischoff said. “It’s been a really good experience, if you can have a good experience from a tornado.”

When the storms came through that Sunday afternoon, three people were hurt when a house collapsed near Berta and Spring roads in Coal City. Another man in the Diamond Estates neighborhood was hospitalized for a minor injury.

And 220 homes and businesses were damaged in Diamond, according to Terry Kernc, who was able to empathize beyond her duties as mayor.

“Having my home destroyed in the 1990 Plainfield

and Diamond will mark the first anniversary of the tornado with a community presentation. A picture slideshow will compare the damage immediately after the storm with the repairs and more than 100 volunteers will be introduced on stage.

Q WHEN: 1 p.m. Sunday Q WHERE: Coal City High School Auditorium, 655 W. Division St., Coal City tornado was devastating [to go through], but it gave me a good basis,” she recalled.

Kernc said about half of the homes affected had minor damage – needing windows and siding replaced. The damage to other property varied, though recurring inspections sometimes meant a house initially listed with “moderate damage” turned out to need “major” repair, she said.

“You really learn not all insurance companies are created equal,” Kernc said. “And there was some backlash from companies on village standards.

We found some middle ground to help residents with repairs, but always wanted to place the priority on safety.”

Blue tarps are visible on some homes due to insurance delays and several others are still in need of interior work, Kernc said. Diamond added a part-time building inspector to the village staff this year.

Another chemical leak at Stepan plant Authorities say no impact to surrounding community

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – A vapor leak of sulfur trioxide lasted for more than 13 hours at the Stepan Company plant on Friday before it was stopped.

Stepan reported that the leak, which started at about 4 a.m., was stopped at 5:30 p.m.

It was the second day a sulfur trioxide leak occurred at the plant located near Elwood.

Both times, company officials and local authorities said they were confident the contamination was kept on-site without any hazard to the surrounding community.

“This incident is similar to [Thursday],” Will County Emergency Management Agency Director Harold Damron said.

Air monitors were set up outside of the plant Friday

to check for possible impact, Damron said. He noted that the Elwood Fire Department and a multi-department hazardous materials team also were on site for independent confirmation of what was happening at the Stepan plant.

Both leaks occurred at rail cars, but they were separate rail cars, said Kim Kumiega, a Stepan spokeswoman. Repairs were made as of Saturday afternoon and the plant resumed normal operations, with the exception of the rail car area, she said.

“A more thorough investigation started at 6 a.m. [Saturday] into the situation and will progress through the weekend,” Kumiega said.

Elwood Fire Chief William Offerman said “a lot of water” was used to contain the vapors, and, “even the runoff water was contained on site.” He said,

“The vapors didn’t lift off of the site.”

Crews used a fog stream to convert the leaked vapor into liquid and knock it to the ground, where it could be contained on-site, Damron said.

Although the leak lasted more than 13 hours Friday, it was small enough that it did not pose a hazard to the surrounding area, Damron said.

“I would compare it to a trickle from a water pipe rather than a pipe being broken,” Damron said. “It’s not occurring in any concentration that would be dangerous.”

The leak on Thursday also lasted several hours, starting at about 1 a.m. before being brought under control at about 10 a.m.

One advantage in the containment efforts, Damron said, was that sulfur trioxide vapors can be managed with water.

“Being able to knock it down with the water fog is a big thing,” he said. “They still have to clean up the water. But that they can do right at the containment area. They don’t have to worry about it getting airborne.”

Damron said fire and emergency management crews cleared the scene by 7 p.m. Friday night.

Sulfur trioxide is an ingredient used in manufacturing laundry detergent.

While the leak was contained on-site, an area west of the plant used by hunters was evacuated out of precaution, Damron said.

“They just didn’t want to run the risk of the situation getting worse and then trying to clear the area,” Damron said.

Sheriff’s police closed a road leading to the plant and were stopping trucks headed to Ste-

pan.

“Plant personnel told responding deputies the release is an irritant, nothing deadly,” said Will County sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffman.

Stepan issued a statement Friday morning saying the vapor release occurred from a rail car, which is what happened Thursday.

“As a precautionary measure, all employees have been sheltering in place,” the statement said. “One truck driver was evaluated by on-site personnel and refused medical treatment. There has been no impact to the community.”

The Stepan statement also said that the company had “engaged experts to help determine the cause.” The investigation into what caused the leaks was going to continue Saturday, Kumiega said.

Republican legislators positive about dynamic in Springfield

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – In January, Illinois will have a new political landscape, with Republican Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner taking office with a Democrat-controlled Legislature that has veto-proof majorities.

It’s a dynamic that could work out in the favor of both parties – and the state’s fiscal situation – if they meet halfway instead of giving in to stalemates and standoffs, said Kent Redfield, a political expert and emeritus professor of political science at the University of Illinois at Springfield.

If history is any indication, billionaire businessman Rauner and veteran House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, may have a better working relationship than initially suggested, he said.

Rauner will be the eighth

governor to serve alongside Madigan, who was elected to the legislature in 1970 – two years into Gov. Richard Ogilvie’s term.

“Obviously, there will be some testing and measuring on both sides early on,” Redfield said. “But if you look back, Madigan worked very well with past Republican governors Jim Thompson and Jim Edgar.”

Madigan had a great working relationship with past Republican Gov. George Ryan, too, he said, whereas Rod Blagojevich’s time in office was filled with “stalemates, shutdowns, and overtime legislative sessions,” mainly due to Madigan’s distaste for the now-imprisoned governor.

And, he said, Madigan often gave a cold shoulder to Gov. Pat Quinn, a fellow Democrat.

Rauner might have a tough time dealing with the Illinois House and Senate, both of which

have veto-proof majorities. Sen. President John Cullerton has 39 Democrats – three more than the 36 veto-proof margin, while Madigan held onto his 71-member, veto-proof majority following the Nov. 4 election.

Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, who will succeed retiring state Rep. Renee Kosel in the Illinois House this January, is in the minority. She thinks the GOP’s position is stronger now that Rauner is headed for the Executive Mansion.

“Yes, they have the ability to override [Rauner’s vetoes], but are they all going to hold?

That depends on the issue,” McDermed said. “Are they going to be in the position to stop the entire state? I don’t see that happening.”

McDermed said she believes voters chose not just for the Republican party in voting for Rauner, but for balance.

“It’s gone too far to one side,

to one party and that’s caused the state to be in a very bad place,” she said. “I think the hope was that by voting for Rauner, the state will come more into balance instead of collapsing. I do think it’s a vote for balance.”

State Rep. John Anthony, R-Plainfield, agreed, noting he thinks Rauner’s leadership will prove successful in getting both parties to work together.

“Rauner has the best and brightest on his transition team,” Anthony said. “I don’t think Rauner is the type to stick his chest out and say, ‘This is what I want.’ He’s really looking for reform. I think he’s wanting to work together and not worry about who gets the credit.”

Both chambers likely will hold off on an income tax hike vote until Rauner gives his budget address in February – placing the governor-elect, and his

party, in a tight spot.

The ball is essentially in their court, said Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood.

“We’ll have to see how Rauner wants to address that,” he said. “We’ll have to see where his caucus is on this. There doesn’t seem to be a consensus among our caucus to push through a tax hike. This is something the governor-elect will have to address.”

Despite being in the minority, state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, thinks the GOP’s position is stronger with Rauner serving in the executive mansion.

“He’s going to be saying ‘Show me what you’re doing.

Show me the results,’” Rezin said. “That’s because of his business background. When you have this one-party rule as we’ve had for the last decade, Republicans have had zero say.

Now we have a better seat at the table.”

IRS scam Hufford students collect socks for homeless callers ring up local residents

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com Local residents have reported recent phone calls claiming they owe tax money that appear to be a scam.

Don Reger said he received a call on his home phone Friday morning and his wife received a second call on her cellphone.

“They left a message saying they were from the IRS and we were going to be sued unless we called a number to arrange repayment,” Reger said. The Troy Township resident said he has no outstanding tax issues.

Crest Hill Deputy Police Chief Ed Clark said two similar calls have been reported in the last two weeks.

Will County State’s Attorney spokesman Charles Pelkie said other reports have come recently from Joliet and Joliet Township.

“People should not provide personal information or payment to these callers. We recommend they don’t answer or return the calls, and notify their police department,” Pelkie said.

The IRS in the past has issued a warning about the scam, saying it occurs regularly and the agency does not ask over the phone for credit card numbers, pre-paid debit card or wire transfers.

The IRS notes scammers may sometimes be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security number and trick a caller ID into displaying “Internal Revenue.”

JOLIET – Sometimes what homeless people need are socks.

Hufford Junior High students donated more than 1,400 pairs to MorningStar Mission.

Staff from the Joliet shelter came to the school Friday morning to pick up what was the result of a monthlong effort to collect socks.

October was “Socktober” for Hufford Junior High School, where roughly 1,100 students from sixth to eighth grade collected socks to donate to local shelters. Throughout the month, students not only collected socks but celebrated the project with weekly crazy sock days and social media postings.

Teachers Katie Speckman and JodiLyn Simmons-Machota coordinated the project, which took inspiration from YouTube personality Kid President’s Socktober video.

“One of our focuses with eighth-graders is for them to give back to the community to help bridge the community service they end up doing in high school,” Simmons-Machota said.

Kid President’s Socktober campaign sought the help of 2

million people to donate socks to the homeless, according to its website. The campaign began four years ago to get children and adults to help the homeless in an easy and fun way.

Last year, more than 10,000 schools, families, businesses and churches rallied for Socktober, according to their website.

At Hufford Junior High School, the students were split in teams from each grade and the school’s individual education team to compete in Photos by Felix Sarver – fsarver@shawmedia.com raising the most socks. The Hufford Junior High School students carry more than 1,400 socks Frieighth-graders collected the day to be donated to MorningStar Mission. Students collected the most, with 558 pairs.

When students began post- socks in October. ing their sock project on Instagram, they got a response from Kid President, Simmons-Machota said.

“He challenged us to meet our goal,” she said.

USF grad student fights in heroin war

By SANDY ILLIAN BOSCH Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – About a year ago, Beric Wessely was asked to speak about losing his mother to a heroin overdose. But even with two decades separating the University of St. Francis graduate student from the tragic event, the wound still was too fresh.

“I wasn’t ready to stand up and talk about it,” Wessely said. “It’s a piece of me that I’ve kept very sheltered.”

But it’s a piece that has shaped him like no other.

Standing before a near-capacity crowd Thursday at USF, Wessely shared his Beric Wessely story of being born to an addicted mother, of spending his early years in foster care, and of being abused in those homes. He was just 5 when his mother’s addiction claimed her life, and changed his forever.

“There’s a huge emptiness inside of me and I think about it every single day,” said Wessely, who gathered several local experts for the forum, “In the Blink of an Eye: A Closer Look at the Heroin Epidemic Sweeping Across our Country.”

The pain of losing a loved one to heroin is still fresh for John Roberts, a former Chicago cop who lost his 19-year-old son to the drug five years ago.

Roberts brought his family to the suburbs hoping to shelter them from drugs and crime.

But heroin, Roberts said, isn’t just a big-city problem.

“Heroin is the epidemic that no one is talking about,” said Roberts, co-founder of the Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization and author of “Billy’s Bill,” a proposal that would require Illinois hospitals to

track and report drug overdoses. By putting the information in front of the public, Roberts hopes to draw more attention to the problem.

The penalties for those convicted of heroin use or distribution are steep, Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow told the audience at USF. But those who aren’t prosecuted also face a life sentence.

“They’re sentenced to a life of ‘chasing the dragon,’ of looking for that high,” Glasgow said.

Many heroin users become addicted with a single use.

After several uses, every person who uses the drug is an addict, Glasgow said.

Deaths from heroin overdoses spiked in Will County in 2012, when 53 people lost their lives to the drug. Since then, death rates have fallen to the mid-30s – a result, Glasgow believes, of more drug dealers being arrested and the increased use of Narcan by emergency personnel. The drug, administered as a nasal spray, can buy precious minutes to save an addict’s life.

“Now, our police are going to have it,” Glasgow said.

It’s a weapon in the fight.

Wessely is another.

“I have an obligation,” he said. “I want people to realize the ripple effect – the effect that one person’s addiction can have on so many other lives. If my story resonates with one person, to help them see how their drug use is affecting others, then my story is worth it in itself.”

He can talk about it now, but Wessely said his grief will never go away. By sharing his story, he hopes to turn that pain into something good.

“Last night’s tears are today’s motivation,” Wessely said. “My past is my past.

All I can do is use it to make someone else’s journey a little easier.”

On November 1, 2014, CITGO employees joined the Wildlife Habitat Council, community leaders and students, to launch the Lemont Quarry Restoration Project.

Faster supercomputer coming to Argonne nest Moniz announced that $325 million will be spent to build two state-of-the art supercomputers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.

Details on the Argonne supercomputer will be announced later, according to the Energy Department.

Foster said the price tag on the Argonne supercomputer should be comparable with those at the other two national laboratories.

But, “the specifications for the Argonne machine have not been completed,” he said.

The Argonne, Oak Ridge and Livermore national laboratories are part of a consortium that goes by the acronym CORAL. It was created early this year, according to the news release from the Energy Department, “to leverage supercomputing investments, streamline procurement processes and reduce costs to develop supercomputers that will be five to seven times more powerful than today’s U.S. fastest systems when fully deployed.”

LEMONT – Argonne National Laboratory is slated to get a faster supercomputer.

Government officials announced Friday that Argonne, located near Lemont, is one of three national laboratories that will get supercomputers.

The new technology will “put the nation on a fasttrack to next generation exascale computing, which will help to advance U.S. leadership in scientific research and promote America’s economic and national security,” according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Argonne already is home to the fifth fastest supercomputer in the world, said U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, whose district includes part of the Argonne site.

The new supercomputer will be 10 to 15 times faster than MIRA, the supercomputer now at Argonne, Foster said.

The supercomputer should arrive sometime in 2017, he said.

“It means that they will be

able to attack a wider variety of problems and get their answers faster,” Foster said.

He said one example of research being done at Argonne that will be aided by a faster supercomputer is the development of new battery technology for use in electric cars and powBill Foster er grids.

“Instead of making prototype batteries of every different type of chemistry, they’re able to investigate Dan Lipinski them on the computer,” Foster said.

Argonne National Laboratory is split between Foster’s district and that of U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs.

Lipinski issued a statement saying in part, “We’re fortunate in Illinois to have two of the fastest supercomputers in the world in MIRA at Argonne and Blue Waters at the University of Illinois.”

Check Out “America’s Best Colleges,” the influential study by U.S. News & World Report. Elmhurst College ranks as one of the Top 10 Best Value Schools in the Midwest.

And Take A Look At Money Magazine. When it comes to value, Elmhurst ranks among the top 7 percent of colleges in the nation, according to Money’s Best Colleges list. The College also ranks among the top 15 colleges in Illinois on Forbes magazine’s list of schools that offer a great value.

And Don’t Miss The Princeton Review. Year after year, the Review ranks Elmhurst among the Best in the Midwest. The Review’s analysis is based in part on the views of some demanding critics—our students—who reported that Elmhurst offers “great financial aid” and “endless opportunities for scholarships, mentorships, internships, research, and so much more.”

WILMINGTON – A Lockport man and his dog died early Saturday morning after his vehicle wound up in a lake at South Wilmington’s Sportsmen’s Club.

Timothy J. Lepper, 65, was pronounced dead at 11:05 a.m. at the Wilmington club, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

Will County Sheriff Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas said a second man told police that he and Lepper were heavily drinking the night before at an establishment in Essex before returning to the club early Saturday morning.

Kaupas said Lepper and the second man had passed out intoxicated in a van at the club. The man told police he woke up at around 3 a.m. to find water filling the vehicle and touching his feet.

The man said he got out and tried unsuccessfully to free Lepper, who was still intoxicated.

The van receded into the lake and the man called authorities.

“It seems that this was a very freaky, unfortunate accident where alcohol probably played some role in the incident,” Kaupas said. “At this point, there are no obvious signs of foul play.”

Kaupas said the car may have not been in park and rolled into the lake. However, reconstructionists are still investigating the incident.

Kaupas said Lepper had a membership and a trailer in the

club, and the site of the incident is close to his trailer.

The dog was also in the vehicle as it was sinking into the lake. Kaupas said Lepper was known to often bring his dog with him.

LOCAL BRIEF

stating that he intentionally murdered them.

While Miner strangled Rankins, state law holds him accountable for Glover’s slaying for setting up the robbery with his accomplices.

Miner did not attend Friday’s court session. On Thursday, he was transferred from the Will County jail to the Menard Correctional Center.

JOLIET – Joshua Miner’s life sentence for the Hickory Street murders was addressed briefly in court Friday.

Judge Gerald Kinney said the circuit clerk’s office wanted to confirm which of the six counts of murder were to be used in Miner’s sentence of two life terms in prison. State law does not allow more than two life sentences in a convic-

tion.

Miner, 26, was sentenced Wednesday for killing Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover Jr. during a robbery on Jan. 9, 2013.

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Dan Walsh and defense attorney Michael Renzi agreed the counts stating that Miner killed the men while committing a felony and knew strangling them would cause their deaths should merge into the count

RETURNING HOME

Families rebuilding houses, lives following tornado

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com DIAMOND – Joe and Lisa Pape are hoping that by Thanksgiving, they will be sitting around the table in their home, thankful they have one another.

Joe and Lisa, along with their children Erica and Joey, were coming home from church Nov. 17, 2013, when they saw the dark clouds that would become a tornado that severely damaged their house on Crystal Lane in the Diamond Estates subdivision.

“The family came through OK,” Joe Pape said. “This house is just sticks and bricks.”

Nearly one year after a tornado devastated families in Diamond and Coal City, some are still working to get home. Diamond Mayor Terry Kernc said the village estimates about 95 percent of the residents are back in their home.

The Pape home had a wide array of damage. The roof had to be replaced, as did the siding and windows. The shed was totaled, along with the family’s vehicles. Everything from a lawn mower to sombreros were found in the family pool, which was torn down.

“It was like a car going through your house at 60 miles per hour,” Lisa Pape said.

Even items they thought were OK – like appliances they assumed were airtight – had to be replaced.

“It was the oddest thing: The ice bucket sits inside the freezer and when we opened it, there was insulation in there. Then as we looked around we found it inside the dishwasher, inside light fixtures,” Joe Pape said.

“Lisa went to get a glass out of the cabinet and there was insulation in it. We don’t know how it got in everywhere.”

The family spent two weeks in a hotel after the tornado, before finding a rental in Coal City.

On Wednesday, the Papes sat in their mostly finished home, waiting for an inspector to see if they would get their occu-

pancy permit so they can finally move back home.

On Thursday, Kernc was happy to say the Pape family would be receiving an occupancy permit prior to the one-year anniversary of the tornado.

Missy Adair, having had surgery just two days before the tornado hit their home, made her way to the basement with her family when they heard the first tornado siren go off a year ago, despite a stair restriction her doctor placed on her.

She said the family piled in the tub in their basement, and waited for an all-clear. When the second sirens sounded, she thought that was an allclear – but then she heard debris hitting the basement windows. The family stayed put. care of their neighbors’ needs She said she wasn’t aware first. the tornado had passed or The couple was contracted her home was damaged until to help rebuild several of the neighbors called to make sure homes in their area damaged they were OK. by the EF2 tornado.

She said her heart stops for a moment the first Tuesday of each month – the day tornado sirens are tested.

Kernc said while the community has healed, many residents – whether their house had minor damage or was a complete tear down – still have feelings of anxiety.

“I don’t think those who have been impacted will ever get over the fear and anxiety,” Kernc said.

Church rebuilds

It’s not just homeowners heading back home.

New beginnings

The Chrome Rack Bar and Grill did not reopen following the storm, but the owner told Kernc the building has been repaired for a different use. Sunshine Landscaping and Garden, Naked Sun Tanning and Spa, and TD Pete’s Shell Gas are all operating again.

Jodi Dennison, owner of Naked Sun, said business has been slow this year as many regular customers were unable to stay in their homes. Others who stayed were focused on repairs. Naked Sun was out of business for three days following the storm but has closed intermittently during the last year while the wall near the tanning booths was repaired. his congregation returned in August to what is left of the church building.

Before being able to use the front of the church again, the congregation met Sundays at Reed-Custer High School in Braidwood. Thompson estimated membership has dropped from 200 to 165 since the tornado.

“This has taught us patience, that’s for sure,” Thompson said. “The lack of room has been a challenge.”

The congregation is meeting in the Kid’s Church section of the building, and a second service was added on Sunday to accommodate the people that come each week.

The church picked up its permit Wednesday to start construction on the building. The structure lost its sanctuary and Sunday school rooms, as well as the fellowship hall. It has redesigned an earlier plan to incorporate classrooms and a fellowship hall in a bigger facility.

Thompson said the church has encountered obstacles, including having to rebuild up to fire and ADA code that wasn’t in effect when it was originally built in 1985. In

Within a month, Chuck Dennison, who owns the Hometown Storage facility next to his wife’s salon, will be leaving the trailer he’s used as an office since the storm.

“The wind picked up a 15-by-110-foot building and lifted it onto the next building. But my office contents and the contents in the rental units didn’t move,” Chuck Dennison said.

One building has been repaired while two are being replaced at the storage facility. Dennison said his business insurance covered his losses while he was unable to rent space to locals without homes.

EZ Living RV also was heavily damaged and has reopened on the other side of Interstate 55 in Braidwood. Manager D.J. Kerwood said the need for more space was one of the reasons for the move. addition to the building codes, the church had to replace the concrete pad where the sanctuary sat because of damage caused by a RV that hit it from across the street.

“We had no idea we would have to jump through so many hoops,” Thompson said.

“We also didn’t realize the concrete pad wasn’t covered by the insurance.”

But Thompson said three new ministries have started as a result of community interaction since the storm. “The Community Connection” focuses on anyone struggling while archery lessons reinforce the importance of aiming at a moral target.

The church has also coordinated with the Department of Children and Family Services on a camp for neglected and abused children.

The church hopes to be rebuilt and have the new sanctuary open for Easter service, so members can celebrate both Jesus and their church being risen.

“God-willing, we’ll get good weather,” Thompson said.

• Shaw Media reporter Brian Stanley contributed to this report.

MORRIS – The tornado that hit the Diamond and Coal City area last year caused major damage from which families are still recovering. But it also united a community to come together to help one another.

Numerous local organizations responded to the area’s needs, including Operation St. Nick, the Community Foundation of Grundy County, We Care of Grundy County and the United Way of Grundy County. These four organizations worked together to raise funds to provide financial assistance to the victims of the tornado to rebuild their lives.

More than $400,000 was raised in the tornado relief fund, said Julie Buck, executive director of the Community Foundation.

All the proceeds have been disbursed among tornado victims in the Diamond and Coal City area, according to Joe Schmitz, president of Operation St. Nick.

“We exhausted all the funds to the families that had damage to their homes; every penny of it,” Schmitz said.

Schmitz said the four organizations combined will form a disaster relief program by Jan. 1.

“In all honesty, FEMA and other organizations don’t react quick enough for people who need bedding and clothing tomorrow,” Schmitz said. “We have to put money aside so if this happens again we can react quickly.”

He said the parameters and details of the relief organization still need to be worked out.

“At this point, I’m not sure where the money will come from,” Schmitz said.

“You can have all the programs in the world, but if you don’t have the money it’s not going to work.”

Kernc said fewer than 10 houses, most in Diamond Estates, were considered totally destroyed, but several more homeowners chose to completely rebuild.

Like Bischoff, the mayor said residents could see the positive effect of human kindness every day since the tornado because of consistent donations and volunteer efforts.

“We did not have a morale problem,” Kernc said.

While there were procedures already in place, Kernc said village staff learned some valuable lessons about emergency management and made adjustments.

“I did not realize how much debris a tornado creates. We literally had a thousand volunteers to clean up. They have cars that need to park somewhere.

Donations are wonderful, but where do you put them when the place you have to put them fills up,” Kernc said. “You think you’re prepared, but when disaster really hits you, there are some things you didn’t realize.”

The problems would have been much worse if the tornado had not missed the village’s water and wastewater treatment plants by “the length of a football field,” Kernc said.

Kernc admitted the response to the tornado took away from the village’s planned focus on economic development in 2014. But a recent $1 million transportation grant will complete a third lane on Route 113, along the third of the village that is in Will County. The Grundy County section was widened for a center turn lane two years ago.

Route 113 is the first exit off Interstate 55 south of the proposed interchange with the Illiana Expressway and has been the subject of conversation between the vil-

ARTIS V. KOEHLER Artis V. Koehler (nee Moore), age 77, peacefully Tuesday, November 11, 2014, with her family by her side, following a yearlong battle with a chronic illness.

Born in Princeton, Illinois, she was raised in Morris, and was a lifelong Joliet/Shorewood area resident. A graduate of Joliet Junior College and Joliet Township High School Class of 1955.

Artis loved people, and her greatest achievement in life was raising her family and giving of herself 100% in and out of her home. Some examples of this would be serving on the Troy-Shorewood Library District Board, the Citizens Advisory Board, Shorewood Cable Television Network, the Plainfield Homettes, the Shorewood Police Advisory Board and many, many others.

Her employment at the Troy Grade School District 30-C as a teacher’s aide where she was “Mom” to many, was particularly rewarding. Truth be known, she had a profound impact on those who needed a little quiet guidance. She was formerly employed at St. Joseph Medical Center in the

Radiology Department.

Although, only the good Lord knows when it is our time, our humanity makes us feel that “she is gone too soon”.

Preceded in death by her parents, Clell and Eleanor (nee Ames) Moore; one brother, Dwight “Slim” Moore; one sister, Darlene Colwell; and beloved son-in-law, Wayne Eungard (2013).

Survived by her loving and devoted husband of 57 years, Ken A. Koehler of Shorewood; two daughters, Gwen Eungard of Custer Park, IL and Dawn (Craig) Nemitz of Channahon; one son, Kurt (Mary) Koehler of Fairport, NY; six grandchildren, Daniel (fiancee, Ashley), Bret, Glen, Kyle, Erin and Kara; four sisters, Nevada (George) Wietting of Minooka, Ryal Baumgarten of Bonita Springs, FL, Osia Lang of Crest Hill and Rae Jean (Perry) Walker of Naples, FL; one sister-in-law, Holly Moore of Plainfield; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins also survive.

On behalf of our family, we would like to express our deep appreciation and profound gratitude to the faculty and staff at Sunny Hill Nursing Home for the exemplary care our mother received while in their care.

Funeral Services for Artis V. Koehler will be Tuesday, November 18, 2014, at 10:00 a.m., at the Fred C. Dames

Funeral Home, 3200 Black at Essington Rd., Joliet, with Pastor Matt Robinson officiating. Interment Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in her name to the charity of donor’s choice would be appreciated.

Visitation Monday, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the funeral home.

Jane Byrne, Chicago’s 1st female mayor, dies

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Jane Byrne became part of Chicago history when she was elected its first female mayor. She became part of city lore because of how she won: beating an incumbent who voters thought had bungled the reaction to a blizzard that paralyzed the streets.

Byrne was a political novice when she overcame Richard J. Daley’s powerful political machine in 1979 for her improbable win over Mayor Michael Bilandic. Byrne, who brought festivals and filmmakers to Chicago during a single term

filled with upheaval at City Hall, never held elected office again.

She died Friday at age 81 at a hospice in Chicago, said her daughter, Kathy.

Byrne, who remains Chicago’s only female mayor, was branded with nicknames such as “Calamity Jane” as she speedily fired and hired people in such top jobs as police superintendent and press secretary.

“It was chaos,” Byrne herself acknowledged in a 2004 Chicago Tribune story, attributing many of the problems to her wresting power from the old-boy Democratic machine that had ruled the city for de-

cades. “Like the spaghetti in a pressure cooker, it was all over the ceiling.”

But Byrne also was credited with changing the feel of the city. She started the Taste of Chicago festival and initiated open-air farmers’ markets.

It was Byrne who let John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd film “Blues Brothers” in Chicago.

She granted Belushi’s request to crash a car through a window at Daley Plaza, figuring Daley loyalists didn’t like her anyway.

She also helped draw national attention to the infamous Cabrini-Green public housing complex when she and her hus-

band moved into an apartment there for three weeks after a gang war killed 11 residents in three months in 1981.

By the end of her first year in the mayor’s office, Chicago had dealt with transit, fire and school strikes, with Byrne sometimes confronting striking workers on the picket lines.

“The city of Chicago has lost a great trailblazer,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said. “From signing the first ordinance to get handguns off of our streets, to bringing more transparency to the city’s budget, to creating the Taste of Chicago, Mayor Byrne leaves a large and lasting legacy.”

New Chicago archbishop brings Francis-like message

CHICAGO – When Blase Cupich was named the next archbishop of Chicago, he insisted Pope Francis was sending the area a mere pastor, not a message.

Cupich has been sending very Francis-like messages. However, as he prepares to officially assume control of one of the country’s largest and most high-profile archdioceses Tuesday. Among them were his decisions to live in a simple rectory instead of the cardinal’s mansion and to not reveal to the man next to him on his recent flight into Chicago that he was about to become a spiritual leader for the area’s 2.2 million Catholics.

“I would say the message is that he [Pope Francis] chose someone very pastoral ... and it’s a very important one,” said Cristina Traina, a professor of religious studies at Northwestern University. “The pope was saying he was looking for someone who will connect with people ... whose emphasis is mercy, ministry, reaching out to the people and serving the poor.”

She said it is not a coincidence the pope appointed Cupich, the 65-year-old relatively unknown bishop of the much smaller Diocese in Spokane, Washington, to replace a conservative church heavyweight such as the retiring Cardinal Francis George at around the time he was demoting another leading conservative, Cardinal Raymond Burke, from his position as head of the Vatican high court.

Bishop Blase Cupich talks with choir member and friend Chris Johanek before Mass on Sept. 21 at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Omaha, Neb. When appointed the new archbishop of Chicago, Cupich argued that Pope Francis was sending a mere pastor and not a message. But Cupich has been sending Francis-like messages of his own as he prepares to officially assume leadership Tuesday of one of the largest and most high-profile archdioceses in the U.S.

President Barack Obama’s health care law, using a streamlined application and a website that functioned without the glitches and crashes they remembered from a year ago.

“The system hasn’t slowed down, nothing’s crashed. ... So no complaints,” said Patrice Howard of the Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation as she drove between enrollment events in East St. Louis and Madison.

With only three months of open enrollment this year, the community organizations funded to help with the outreach face a challenge. The second sign-up season under the Affordable Care Act continues through Feb. 15, a shorter time frame by half compared to last year and interrupted by the holidays.

On the plus side, the online application has been simplified, cut to 16 computer screens from

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell tweeted Saturday that more than 23,000 people submitted applications within the first eight hours in the 37 states using the site, including Illinois. She said 1.2 million unique visitors looked at coverage using the site’s window-shopping tool in the past week.

Metra board approves fare increases

CHICAGO – The board of the Metra commuter rail agency has approved fare increases averaging nearly 11 percent next year, the first of 10 years of planned fare boosts.

The fare increases will occur

every year over the coming decade to eventually rise about 68 percent above current costs. Metra officials said the fare boosts will bankroll upgrades to Metra’s fleet, pay for new mandated safety technology and cover the rises in operating costs.

said the woman and her cousin followed Harris to the Harlem Irving Plaza, and that Harris shot them both during a confrontation.

Both were hospitalized and are expected to survive. The children were not hurt.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Surgeon with Ebola arrives in U.S. for treatment

OMAHA, Neb. – A surgeon who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone arrived in Nebraska on Saturday for treatment at a biocontainment unit where two other people with the disease have been successfully treated.

Dr. Martin Salia, who was diagnosed with Ebola on Monday, landed at Eppley Airfield in Omaha and was taken by ambulance to the Nebraska Medical Center.

The hospital said the medical crew that accompanied Salia, 44, from West Africa determined he was stable enough to fly, but that the team caring for him in Sierra Leone indicated he was critically ill and “possibly sicker than the first patients successfully treated in the United States.”

The disease has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leona. Of the 10 people treated for the disease in the U.S., all but one has recovered.

Salia’s ambulance to the hospital was accompanied by a single Nebraska State Patrol cruiser and a fire department vehicle – a subdued arrival in contrast to the August delivery of Dr. Rick Sacra, whose ambulance was flanked by numerous police cars, motorcycles and fire vehicles.

Turkey production down, wholesale prices up

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Turkey production is at its lowest level in

nearly three decades and wholesale prices are at an all-time high, but Thanksgiving cooks probably won’t see much difference in the price they pay at the stores for their frozen birds.

This year’s anticipated stock is 235 million, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service – the lowest since 1986, when U.S. farmers produced roughly 207 million birds.

Although the estimated 2014 number doesn’t indicate a shortage of turkeys, which can remain in cold storage for a year or longer, it does reflect a pullback in recent years by poultry producers who were forced to reduce their flocks to remain afloat.

Pope Francis denounces euthanasia

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis denounced the right to die movement Saturday, saying it’s a “false sense of compassion” to consider euthanasia as an act of dignity when in fact it’s a sin against God and creation.

Francis made the comments to the Association of Italian Catholic Doctors.

Earlier this month, the Vatican’s top bioethics official condemned as “reprehensible” the assisted suicide of an American woman, Brittany Maynard, who was suffering terminal brain cancer and said she wanted to die with dignity. Francis didn’t refer to the Maynard case specifically.

Top U.S. general in Iraq to assess anti-IS campaign

By HAMZA HENDAWI and LOLITA BALDOR The Associated Press BAGHDAD – America’s top military leader arrived in Iraq on Saturday on a previously unannounced visit, his first since a U.S.-led coalition began launching airstrikes against the extremist Islamic State group.

The visit by Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, came just two days after he told Congress the United States would consider dispatching a modest number of American forces to fight with Iraqi troops against the extremist group.

The Iraqi military and security forces, trained by the U.S. at the cost of billions of dollars, melted away in the face of the group’s stunning offensive this summer, when it captured most of northern and western Iraq, including the country’s second-largest city, Mosul.

Dempsey said Thursday that Iraqi forces were doing a better job now, although an effort to move into Mosul or to restore the border with Syria would require more complex operations.

He also told the U.S. House Armed Services Committee that America has a modest force in Iraq now, and that “any expansion of that, I think, would be equally modest.”

“I just don’t foresee a circumstance when it would be in our interest to take this fight on ourselves with a large military contingent,” he said.

Dempsey’s spokesman, Air Force Col. Ed Thomas, said the general planned to visit U.S. troops, commanders and Iraqi leaders. “The primary purpose of his visit is to get a firsthand look at the situation in Iraq, receive briefings and get better sense of how the campaign is pro-

The visit included talks in Baghdad with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and U.S. Ambassador Stuart E. Jones, Thomas said.

Dempsey later flew to Irbil, capital of Iraq’s largely autonomous northern Kurdish region, where he met with Kurdish President Massoud Barzani.

Dempsey also visited the U.S. joint operations center in Irbil, got a briefing on the Kurdish offensive against the Islamic State group and held a town hall with deployed troops there, Thomas said.

The Pentagon has plans to establish an expeditionary advise and assist center in Irbil where U.S. troops will provide assistance to Iraqi forces at the brigade and higher levels. The U.S. also is planning to set up a training site near Irbil.

According to plans laid out last week, the U.S. expects to train nine Iraqi security forces brigades and three Kurdish Peshmerga brigades.

Dempsey’s visit to Iraq comes a day after Iraqi forces drove Islamic State militants out of a strategic oil refinery town north of Baghdad, scor-

ing their biggest battlefield victory yet.

On Saturday, state TV said government forces were in full control of the refinery, Iraq’s largest, which lies some 15 miles north of the town of Beiji.

The loss of Beiji marks the latest in a series of setbacks for the jihadi group, which has lost hundreds of fighters to U.S.-led coalition airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, particularly in the group’s stalled advance on the Syrian town of Kobani. On Friday, activists there reported significant progress by the town’s Kurdish defenders.

Meanwhile on Saturday, two parked car bombs exploded minutes apart north of Baghdad, targeting a security checkpoint, authorities said. The attack killed nine people and wounded 32, according to police and hospital officials.

Later, a booby-trapped house in northern Baghdad blew up as a joint army and police force searched it for weapons, killing five and wounding 10, according to hospital and police officials.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief journalists.

“It’s a striking parallel. Bush Sr. went big at the time.

He protected about 40 percent of the unauthorized population. Back then that was up to 1.5 million.

Today that would be about 5 million.”

Mark Noferi American Immigration Council children of parents granted amnesty by the law would get protection from deportation.

Spouses and children of couples in which one parent qualified for amnesty but the other did not remained subject to deportation, leading to efforts to amend the 1986 law.

In a parallel to today, the Senate acted in 1989 to broaden legal status to families, but the House never took up the bill. Through the INS, Bush advanced a new “family fairness” policy that put in place the Senate measure. Congress passed the policy into law by the end of the year as part of broader immigration legislation.

“It’s a striking parallel,” said Mark Noferi of the pro-immigration American Immigration Council. “Bush Sr. went big at the time. He protected about 40 percent of the unauthorized population. Back then that was up to 1.5 million. Today that would be about 5 million.”

But a lawyer who worked on the 1986 law and the 1990 follow-up as an aide to then-Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., said Bush’s action wasn’t controversial because it came after lawmakers had made it clear they were going to tackle the issue.

That’s not the case now.

“Bush Sr. took the action that he did, but it wasn’t as if Congress was legislating anything to the contrary,” said Carl Hampe of Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy.

“What’s different now is that there is no clear path to legislative relief for the class of beneficiaries for which the president’s order would provide relief.”

Obama’s announcement could come as early as this coming week and cover as many as 5 million people. Like Bush, Obama is expected to extend deportation protections to families of U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

“It’s clear that it’s fully within his legal authority to issue these orders,” said Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas. He said Republicans “didn’t raise any objections in the past when Republican presidents issued similar orders. This is pure political theater.”

Obama’s anticipated action would not award legal status, but it would offer temporary protection from deportation and the possibility of obtaining a work permit.

“There’s always some precedent for prosecutorial discretion,” said Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz. “But this president would call tearing the Constitution into tiny little pieces in the White House prosecutorial discretion.”

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is stopping short of threatening to use Congress’ power of the purse to thwart any executive action

by Obama. Boehner’s priority is to avoid a government shutdown. But he made it clear that Republicans will make Obama pay a price if he carries out his threat.

“Every administration needs this and needs that, needs all kinds of things,” Boehner said Thursday. “You know, if he wants to go off on his own, there are things that he’s just not going to get.”

U.S. cities brace for protests off Ferguson decision

By PHILIP MARCELO The Associated Press BOSTON – From Boston to Los Angeles, police departments are bracing for large demonstrations when a grand jury decides whether to indict a white police officer who killed an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.

The St. Louis County grand jury, which has been meeting since Aug. 20, is expected to decide this month whether Officer Darren Wilson is charged with a crime for killing 18-yearold Michael Brown after ordering him and a friend to stop walking in the street Aug. 9.

The shooting has led to tension with police and a string of unruly protests there and brought worldwide attention to

the formerly obscure St. Louis suburb, where more than half the population is black but few police officers are.

For some cities, a decision in the racially charged case will, inevitably, reignite long-simmering debates over local police relations with minority communities.

“It’s definitely on our radar,” said Lt. Michael McCarthy, police spokesman in Boston, where police leaders met privately Wednesday to discuss preparations. “Common sense tells you the timeline is getting close. We’re just trying to prepare in case something does step off, so we are ready to go with it.”

In Los Angeles, rocked by riots in 1992 after the acquittal of police officers in the video-

taped beating of Rodney King, police officials said they’ve been in touch with their counterparts in Missouri, where Gov. Jay Nixon and St. Louis-area law enforcement held a news conference this week on their own preparations.

“Naturally, we always pay attention,” said Cmdr. Andrew Smith, a police spokesman.

“We saw what happened when there were protests over there and how oftentimes protests spill from one part of the country to another.”

In Las Vegas, police joined pastors and other community leaders this week to call for restraint at a rally tentatively planned northwest of the casino strip when a decision comes.

Activists in Ferguson met Saturday to map out their pro-

test plans. Meeting organizers encouraged group members to provide their names upon arrest as Darren Wilson or Michael Brown to make it more difficult for police to process them.

In a neighboring town, Berkeley, officials this week passed out fliers urging residents to be prepared for unrest just as they would a major storm – with plenty of food, water and medicine in case they’re unable to leave home for several days.

In Boston, a group called Black Lives Matter, which has chapters in other major cities, is organizing a rally in front of the police district office in the Roxbury neighborhood the day after an indictment decision.

Philadelphia police spokes-

man Lt. John Stanford said he anticipated his city will see demonstrations, regardless of what the grand jury returns.

But big-city police departments stressed they’re wellequipped to handle crowds.

Many saw large but mostly peaceful demonstrations after the 2013 not-guilty verdict in the slaying of Florida teen Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman. In New York, hundreds of protesters marched from Union Square north to Times Square, where a sit-in caused gridlock.

The New York Police Department, the largest in the nation, is “trained to move swiftly and handle events as they come up,” spokesman Stephen Davis said.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s anticipated order that would shield millions of immigrants now living illegally in the U.S. from deportation is not without precedent.

Two of the past three Republican presidents – Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush – did the same thing in extending amnesty to family members who were not covered by the last major overhaul of immigration law in 1986.

There was no political explosion then comparable to the one Republicans are threatening now.

A tea party-influenced GOP is poised to erupt if and when Obama follows through on his promise. He wants to extend protection from deportation to millions of immigrant parents and spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, and expand his 2-year-old program that shields immigrants brought illegally to this country as children.

“The audacity of this president to think he can completely destroy the rule of law with the stroke of a pen is unfathomable to me,” said GOP Rep. Steve King of Iowa, an outspoken opponent of relaxing U.S.

immigration law. “It is unconstitutional, it is cynical and it violates the will of the American people.”

Such strong feelings are common among congressional Republicans. GOP leaders warn that an executive order from Obama would “poison the well” and severely damage Republicans’ willingness to work with the president during his final two years in office.

Some Republicans even have raised the possibility of impeachment.

Nearly three decades ago, there barely was a peep when Reagan and Bush used their authority to extend amnesty to the spouses and minor children of immigrants covered by the 1986 law.

In 1986, Congress and Reagan enacted a sweeping overhaul that gave legal status to up to 3 million immigrants without authorization to be in the country, if they had come to the U.S. before 1982. Spouses and children who could not meet that test did not qualify, which incited protests that the new law was breaking up families.

Early efforts in Congress to amend the law to cover family members failed. In 1987, Reagan’s Immigration and Naturalization Service commissioner announced that minor

WORLD BRIEFS With Saint Nick’s entry comes racial controversy

THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Police arrested 90 protesters Saturday as a traditional Dutch celebration of the arrival of Saint Nicholas was disturbed by demonstrators who say his faithful sidekick, “Black Pete,” is a racist caricature, and by supporters of the popular children’s figure.

In some of the worst scenes of unrest in the increasingly acrimonious debate about Black Pete, opponents scuffled with police on the historic market place of the central city of Gouda as thousands of children welcomed Saint Nicholas nearby.

Prosecution office spokesman Wouter Bos said 60 anti-Black Pete activists were arrested for demonstrating away from a location set aside for protesters and were each fined 220 euros ($275). Another 30, both supporters and opponents of Black Pete, were arrested for disturbing public order, Bos told The Associated Press.

Space agency: Silent lander does main tasks

BERLIN – The pioneering lander Philae completed its primary mission of exploring the comet’s surface and returned plenty of data before depleted batteries forced it to go silent, the European Space Agency said Saturday.

“All of our instruments could be operated and now it’s time to see what we got,” ESA’s blog quoted lander manager Stephan Ulamec as saying.

Since landing Wednesday on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko some 311 million miles away, the lander has performed a series of scientific tests and sent reams of data, including photos, back to Earth.

In addition, the lander was lifted on Friday by about 4 centimeters and rotated about 35 degrees in an effort to pull it out of a shadow so that solar panels could recharge the depleted batteries, ESA’s blog said.

ESA spokesman Bernard von Weyhe on Saturday confirmed the lander’s difficult rotation operation. It’s still unclear whether

it succeeded in putting the solar panels out of the shade.

Even if the lander was rotated successfully and is able to recharge its batteries with sunlight, it might take weeks or months until it will send out new signals. Regular checks for signals will continue.

ESA’s mission control center in Darmstadt, Germany, received the last signals from Philae on Saturday morning at 0036 GMT (7:36 p.m. EST Friday). Before the signal died, the lander returned all of its housekeeping data as well as scientific data of its experiments on the surface – which means it completed the measures as planned, the ESA blog said.

During a scheduled listening effort on Saturday at 1000GMT, ESA received no signals from Philae, ESA’s mission chief Paolo Ferri told The Associated Press.

“We don’t know if the charge will ever be high enough to operate the lander again,” Ferri had told The Associated Press ahead of the 1000GMT (5 a.m.

EST) listening time. “It is highly unlikely that we will establish any kind of communication any time soon.”

G-20 leaders finalize details of growth plan

BRISBANE, Australia – World leaders on Sunday prepared to release details of a plan aimed at injecting life into the world’s listless economy, with infrastructure investment and the lowering of trade barriers flagged as key components of the initiative.

Leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies, wrapping up a two-day gathering in the Australian city of Brisbane, were hammering out the final components of a plan to boost global GDP by more than 2 percent above expected levels over the next five years, which amounts to around $2 trillion.

G-20 nations, which represent 85 percent of the global economy, are under pressure to take definitive action at this year’s summit, rather than simply producing a set of vague, unmeasurable goals.

West-backed Syria rebels shaken on multiple fronts

By DIAA HADID and BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press BEIRUT – During a key battle in the rugged mountains of a northern province earlier this month, U.S.-backed Syrian rebels collapsed before an assault by al-Qaida fighters.

Some surrendered their weapons. Others outright defected to the militants.

A detailed account of the battle in Idlib, from a series of interviews with opposition activists by The Associated Press, underscores how the moderate rebels that Washington is trying to boost to fight the Islamic State group are instead hemorrhaging on multiple fronts.

They face an escalated assault by Islamic extremists, which activists say are increasingly working together to eliminate them. At the same time, a string of assassinations has targeted some of their most powerful commanders.

“This is the end of the Free Syrian Army,” said Alaa alDeen, an opposition activist in Idlib, referring to Western-backed rebel groups. “It’s the beginning of an Islamic emirate.”

Thousands of rebels have died fighting the Islamic State

group this year, a war that has overshadowed and undermined the struggle to topple President Bashar Assad. Now the Nusra Front – al-Qaida’s branch in Syria, which also previously was fighting against the Islamic State group – has turned on more moderate factions. Two opposition figures told The AP this week that Nusra Front and the Islamic State group have gone so far as to agree to work together against their opponents, however so far their forces have not been seen together on the ground.

Nusra’s pivot in part is in response to U.S. airstrikes, which have targeted the al-Qaida branch in addition to Islamic State militants, several activists said. Nusra has been hit three times in strikes the U.S. has said were aimed at a secret cell of high-ranking al-Qaida militants plotting attacks against the West. The strikes have ignited tensions between Western-backed groups and more extreme factions, who feel the Americans are hitting everyone except Assad’s forces.

In the fighting earlier this month, the Nusra Front drove U.S.-backed factions almost completely out of the northwestern province of Idlib, where they had been the pre-

dominant force. During the battles, two of the strongest Western-backed forces – the Hazm Movement and the Syrian Revolutionaries Front – were defeated and several other allied groups simply vanished.

The Syrian Revolutionary Front, headed by commander Jamal Maarouf, oversaw groups ranging from village-based militias to factions with hundreds of men.

Around 10,000 to 20,000 fighters are estimated by activists to have been under his command.

The fighting began when a group of men in the Idlib village of Bara defected from a faction loyal to Maarouf and joined Ahrar al-Sham, an ultraconservative Islamist force.

Maarouf first sent his nephew to Bara to retrieve the men’s weapons, but that mission failed. Then Maarouf ordered his fighters to surround and shell Bara, according to local journalist Muayad Zurayk, activists Mohammed al-Sayid and Alaa al-Deen, and another two activists from nearby Aleppo province.

Ahrar al-Sham asked the Nusra Front for help, and the conflict quickly spread. Other Islamist factions, Jund al-Aqsa and Suqour al-Sham, took Nusra’s side.

changes. And IBM’s mainframe market is disappearing as new virtualization technologies enable IT people to deploy and manage workloads via a collection of commodity x86 servers.

Finally, customers’ appetite for multimillion-dollar IT systems hasn’t recovered from the Great Recession, and a recovery is not expected for a long time.

Everything about this $90 billion-revenue company is big.

IBM’s stock price is down 50 points since Rometty took over in 2012. Revenues have declined for 10 consecutive quarters, and its historic businesses are fading. Still, IBM’s century-old culture hasn’t changed much.

Big Blue is too inflexible to learn new dance steps, too huge to respond creatively to changes in the market, too labyrinthine to recognize the problem and find a repair consensus. IBM has more moving parts than a trainload of Swiss watches. The company looks synchronized on the outside, but on the inside, its multilayer executive team is a blueprint for the Tower of Babel.

Rometty has improved IBM’s balance sheet and income statement, though her thousand-watt smile hasn’t motivated the performance of IBM’s marketing people. Rometty has improved net profit margins by 20 percent.

She has cut fat and eliminated numerous redundancies, which, combined with fewer outstanding shares, should improve 2014’s income to $16.40 on declining revenues. And in 2015, IBM expects to earn $18.50 on still lower revenues. Rometty has the leadership skills, energy and boldness to move quickly, but working with her 13-member board of directors (average age is 64) is like dragging an anchor.

Rometty is a clear communicator, a collaborator and easily approachable, but it may take a lot more to change the dispassionate culture of the gray suits at IBM. The stock price may continue to disappoint.

BUSINESS | The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

Dear Mr. Berko: Please tell me what you think about buying 100 shares of IBM. Our dentist (also a friend) has been in the market for more than 25 years and strongly recommends the stock.

He thinks that the new CEO will turn IBM around and that the price could jump 50 percent by late 2015. – BE, Durham, N.C. Dear BE: I think your dentist is using too much nitrous oxide.

Two books, “The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit” and “The Organization Man,” both written in the mid-1950s, still reflect the culture at International Business Machines (IBM-$163.27). In those days, you worked for the organization and the organization owned you. If the organization told you to wear red Tuesday, you wore a red shirt Tuesday; you were an automaton, followed instructions, didn’t ask questions and never offered suggestions. And at 5 p.m., everyone went home to a wife, 2.4 kids and a three-bedroom house, and post-dinner, you watched “I Remember Mama” and “The Ed Sullivan Show” on a boxy blackand-white TV. The culture in IBM’s executive suite is about the same today. However, with new CEO Ginni Rometty, IBM is a little less bureaucratic, a little less rooted in the “Organization Man” culture of former CEOs Tom Watson and Tom Jr. Still, among Standard & Poor’s, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Argus Financial Services, Zacks, Oppenheimer and Wells Fargo, none has a buy rating on the stock.

IBM is a sales organization, and revenues from its three core businesses – services, software and hardware – are in a downward spiral. IBM is inflexibly huge, and in today’s environment, size doesn’t protect it from emerging longterm threats when customers change their buying habits.

Cloud computing is shifting the enterprise IT landscape, forcing IBM to make course changes.

Because computer resources are increasingly delivered by cloud providers rather than traditional enterprise IT departments, the demand for IBM’s high-end servers and software has slowed to a crawl. Additionally, “software as a service” is gaining traction, forcing the middleware and systems management markets to make significant

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Rebuilding after the storm

A year ago, Mother Nature amazed us with her ferocity when a tornado ravaged Coal City and Diamond.

When the winds subsided and the rain stopped, at least four were injured, and the 12-mile path the tornado cut through our area left more than 200 buildings damaged, uprooted trees and left power lines dangling. It was one of many tornados that day in the state: The winds were so strong Nov. 17, 2013, that paperwork and photos from Washington, Ill., were found in Morris.

Last year’s tornado left destruction in its wake. It looked like a scene from a disaster movie – but this wasn’t a movie set with Hollywood stars in makeup. The winds left too much debris behind for it to be wrapped up with a bow in just two hours.

Natural disasters unexpectedly put us in situations most wouldn’t wish upon their worst enemy. There is emotional, mental and physical pain. There is unimaginable loss of cherished heirlooms, and the feeling that one isn’t safe anywhere – even at homes.

But as often is the case when disaster hits, it is the reaction of the community, not the destruction it left, that defines the event.

And in this case, it was seeing the best of our neighbors. Local communities stepped up to start the long process of patching up the shattered hopes and dreams the tornado left.

In the immediate aftermath, we saw emergency crews rush to help. Neighbors – strangers, even – helped dig through debris to help those hardest hit. Donations of clothing, food, shelter and money poured in.

And that wasn’t just the first “day after,” or the second. The generosity and compassion lasted weeks. Even through the fatigue, the Coal City and Diamond communities came together to rebuild, joined by thousands of volunteers who came to help.

It hasn’t been easy. A year later, some in Coal City and Diamond still aren’t in their homes.

There were struggles with insurance companies.

But that’s just the bricks and mortar. The spirit of Coal City and Diamond was never damaged. Winds, no matter how strong, could not tear apart a community identity as solid as that.

A year later, our thoughts and prayers remain with those affected by the tornado. We hope those still rebuilding are soon in their homes. Most of all, we hope the spirit and faith of these communities remains as unwavering as it did the day the tornado tried – and failed – to sweep it away.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

‘Affordable’ is in the name The Affordable Care Act is now a year old. And it’s still growing up. Well, for the time being.

Four justices of the Supreme Court have decided to hear a case (King v. Burwell) about whether or not Obamacare tax credits, or subsidies, for citizens are legal.

The case is based on legislative language – six words, in fact – that its Republican legal opponents are torturing to make it cover their legal interpretation and, in the process, deny millions of citizens affordable health insurance in an effort to undercut the Affordable Care Act. Read in isolation, the six words that come up during an explanation about subsidies to individuals – “an exchange established by the state” – seem to indicate that in states where the federal government established the exchange, individuals may not get subsidies.

In a Democratic reach-out to Republicans, the law was written to give the states a choice.

They could either set up their own health insurance exchange

VIEWS Donna Brazile (marketplace) or let the federal government run its health exchange within their state. But, Republican governors throughout the country refused to set up exchanges in their states.

The Republican legal argument holds that tax credits for individuals were an incentive offered to states to set up their own state health exchange.

Therefore, in states that declined the alleged inducement, they argue that the federal government cannot offer the same tax credits to citizens.

That’s nonsense. The name of the law, after all, is “The Affordable Care Act.” The Affordable Care Act’s purpose for existing is to make health care affordable. Without the tax credits, millions will be excluded from health care.

It’s insanity to think the legis-

lators’ intent was to exclude tax credits for citizens because they applied for it through the federal website.

The bill’s primary drafters in the House and Senate in an op-ed in The Washington Post clarify this: “The law requires the federally facilitated marketplace to be functionally the same as marketplaces established by states – making clear that an exchange created by the federal government is, as a matter of law, “an exchange established by the state” – and people are entitled to financial assistance regardless of which type of marketplace they use.”

If the court decides to step into what is out of its authority, namely a political argument, it will go against legal precedent.

In disputes over what a law says, the court should (as it always has) look to the administrative agency executing the law and statements made during a bill’s creation, for Congress’ intentions.

See BRAZILE, page 31

ALL VETERANS DESERVE OUR RESPECT

To the Editor: How could anyone belittle the

service, demean their sacrifices and claim that our current fighting forces are not involved in a war? Completely out of line and absolutely undeserved.

To find that such disturbing comments were attributed to a former serviceman in a Herald-News article (“Close calls on the frontline, page 4) that appeared in the “Salute to Veterans” special section that ran on Veterans Day, no less, was particularly troubling.

I salute all of our brave brothers and sister in uniform. Thank you for having our backs.

CUPCAKE LAW IS ‘CRUMMY’

To the Editor: Crummy law, that “cupcake” law.

Raymond F. Stoiber

Court’s decision will literally be life-and-death matter behind the lawsuit. They’ve said from the start, before a word of Obamacare was on paper, that they would accept no health care law except the one they themselves write.

That, as you likely are thinking, is not how the democratic process works.

Now that four conservative justices have decided to hear the suit, Republican opponents in Congress will not clarify a single phrase in the law – with millions of Americans’ health care hanging in the balance – if they can use it to dismantle the law.

The Supreme Court is supposed to stay out of political arguments. In deciding the constitutionality of a law, their practice has been not to

accept a legal challenge that is about political arguments.

In other words, they leave it to Congress and the executive branch to take care of their own disputes.

I’m hoping the four conservatives on the court follow their own logic in the last ACA case to make it to the Supreme Court. They wrote in their dissent in NFIB v. Sebelius: “Without the federal subsidies, individuals would lose the main incentive to purchase insurance inside the exchanges, and some insurers may be unwilling to offer insurance inside of exchanges ... (without subsidies,) the exchanges would not operate as Congress intended and may not operate

at all.”

This is an unnecessary decision – unless the court is into politics and callously taking away people’s health care. At 1 year old, the ACA should be given time to grow up and to continue to help reduce the number of uninsured Americans.

For now, the Supreme Court will likely decide its fate and the health care of millions of now-insured Americans.

CLASS 3A CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: ST. FRANCIS 2, JOLIET CATHOLIC 1 (25-18, 25-23)

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 16, 2014

NORMAL – There were tears on every Joliet Catholic girls volleyball players’ face, but each girl was also smiling.

After losing to St. Francis, 25-18, 25-23, in the Class 3A championship match Saturday at Redbird Arena, the Angels embraced each other and celebrated their second-place finish.

They have reason to be happy. Joliet Catholic struggled at the beginning of the season and some did not think that they would make it to state, let alone the finals.

“We had such a hard start to our season and to come back and be in the state championship, we weren’t supposed to be anything this season,” outside hitter Madeline Grimm said. “It’s absolutely amazing.

I love every single one of the girls on the team and I’m so proud of all of them. It’s just a great way to go out, to end my senior year.”

Joliet Catholic started slow.

St. Francis led 8-1 in the first game before JCA’s offense started producing while avoiding the Spartans’ big block. After siding out the initial lead, the Angels trailed by only two points for the remainder of the match.

“We went in with the attitude, play loose,” JCA coach Christine Scheibe said. “We’ve got nothing to lose in this game. All of the pressure is on them, we’re not even supposed to be here, so just stick with them as best as possible ... We played pretty much toe-to-toe with them after that first little mix-up.”

Even though the remainder of the points were close and JCA tied the game up numerous times, the Angels (25-17) failed to lead by a point throughout the match.

“In pretty much every single game in the playoffs, we’ve come back and we’ve had to fight our way back into the game,” setter Mary Murphy

We couldn’t pull off a win, but we still came back and put up a fight.”

A big reason why they weren’t able to win were the Spartans’ heavy hitters. Molly Haggerty, who helped lead St. Francis (38-4) to its third consecutive Class 3A state title, tallied nine kills. Right behind her, Mary Boken and Kamryn Malloy had eight kills each.

The hottest hitter of the night belonged to Joliet Catholic. Middle hitter Maddie Naal played near perfect volleyball

offensively, earning seven kills on eight attempts with zero errors.

“The setters were really good about noticing that that was working against St. Francis,” Naal said. “A lot of times, it’s hard to set the middles. It’s one of the hardest positions to set. I give a lot of credit to the setters because they pushed it and really worked for it and helped me see what was open.

“Once we realized that it was working, we just kept running it. If we were able to get the passing to where we could set the middles more, I think we would’ve kept up a little better, started off stronger at least.”

Murphy also had seven kills. Grimm had four, Nicole Witmer three and Taylor Zurliene and Addy Alt had two kills each. Murphy led the Angels’ defense with eight digs, while Megan Cladis had five and Megan Melone and Mallory Krzysciak had four apiece.

CLASS 3A SEMIFINAL MATCH

In Friday’s semifinal match, Joliet Catholic beat rival Montini in a close threegame match, 22-25, 25-19, 25-19.

Similar to the finals, the Angels struggled at the beginning of the match.

“We started off shaky and we all knew that we were go-

ing to be nervous,” Witmer said. “Once we got around 15, we started gaining momentum and we knew that even if we had to go to three that we were going to take it.”

Montini started strong, with consistent blocking from middles Carolyn Strzempek and Jordan Bruscianelli and dominant hitting from outside hitters Monica Loftus (11 kills) and Mary Bowe (ninekills).

Witmer (six kills) helped the Angels gain momentum by getting five kills, one assist and a block in the first game.

Murphy paces JCA with 17 kills in semifinal • STATE Continued from page 33 After the first, Murphy took over.

Murphy finished the match with 17 kills, 17 assists, seven digs, two block assists and two aces.

When Joliet Catholic needed someone to put the ball down, Murphy was there.

“It was our goal to do it in two,” Murphy said. “I think three just made it that more exciting. Everyone drove pretty far to get here, we wanted to give them their money’s worth. That game wasn’t just for our team or for our coach, it was for the entire JCA family. Montini, JCA has been a rivalry for years.

We wanted to do it for our entire school and we just did it.”

The Angels were nervous headed into the first game, but settled down leading into the second, Murphy said.

“We went out there and there was never a doubt in anyone’s mind that we weren’t going to make it to the championship,” she said. “We just went out there and we did what we needed to do.”

Although Murphy dominated against the Broncos, the Angels saw offensive production across the board. Naal and Alt contributed five and four kills, respectively, contributing at critical moments to keep the momentum.

Grimm, who ended the match with 12 kills and a .435 hitting percentage, put down a majority of the balls she touched late in the match.

The Angels defense stopped the Broncos late in the match. Libero Megan Cladis and defensive specialists Meghan Harrison and Megan Melone (22 assists) had eight digs each and Mallory Krzysciak tallied five digs.

At the beginning of the year, the Angels set a goal to make it to state. Joliet Catholic accomplished its goal and became the first team that had more than eight losses to make it to the Class 3A state finals.

According to Scheibe, the chemistry is what brought them so far.

“This is just an amazing season and you might see some tears in the girls’ eyes up here, but those aren’t tears because we lost,” Scheibe said.

“Those are tears because this is our last game together as a team and that goes to prove how much we came together as a team this year. The girls truly love each other and I think once they came together as a team, everything on the court started clicking together.”

CLASS 7A QUARTERFINALS: PROVIDENCE 23, WHEATON WARRENVILLE SOUTH 6

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 16, 2014

NEW LENOX – For the longest time Saturday, it appeared the safety scored by Providence senior defensive end Luis Vasquez would be the only points for either side.

But Vasquez was not finished with his improbable bursts of heroics. He intercepted a pass in the right flat and returned it 16 yards for the game’s first touchdown with 2:01 left in the third quarter, and that sent the Celtics on the way to a 23-6 victory over Wheaton Warrenville South in the quarterfinals of the Class 7A state playoffs.

If it is good for any team to live through the ultimate challenge, Providence (11-1) is a better team now than it was a couple of days ago. The Celtics, who travel to Mount Carmel for next week’s semifinal, were without standout Division I receiver Miles Boykin.

Yet largely because of their defense, they are advancing.

“Our offense has carried us at times,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said. “It was the defense’s turn today. To give up one big play (an 81yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter) and nothing else, that’s OK.” Boykin suffered a dislocated left pinkie finger during last week’s 34-3 victory at St. Rita. A pin had to be surgically implanted to correct it, and he was on the sideline in street clothes with the hand wrapped.

That hampered Providence’s high-powered offense, but the credit for the Celtics’ struggles to drive the ball goes to the Wheaton Warrenville South defense. The Tigers (75), who entered on a six-game winning streak, limited Providence to 11 first downs and 282 total yards, far below the norms.

“We knew their defense was good,” said Celtics receiver Mike Markasovic, whose 48-yard run on a jet sweep increased the Providence lead to 16-6 midway through the fourth quarter. “It took us awhile to put the puzzle together against them.”

Vasquez leads Celtics past Tigers

Michael DiNovo for Shaw Media

Providence’s Mike Markasovic runs for a touchdown Saturday against the Wheaton-Warrenville South in New Lenox. Providence won, 23-6.

On the play before Markasovic’s run, the Celtics faked the jet sweep and handed to Richie Warfield, who gained 14 yards up the middle. Warfield finished with 87 yards, 52 in the fourth quarter.

Markasovic said he “thought I was going to get caught” on his touchdown run. But once he got around the right side of the defense, he was flying. “It was a matter of a few inches to get away,” he said.

After Markasovic’s touchdown and an Emmet Trost interception return of 41 yards to the Wheaton Warrenville South 36, the Celtics missed a field goal. With time running out, the Tigers tried to convert a first down but failed, and Warfield ran 21 yards up the

middle for the final points.

By his standards, Providence quarterback Justin Hunniford had an off day. He hit 17 of 32 passes for 145 yards and threw two interceptions after previously throwing only one this season.

But Hunniford’s superb punting on two quick-kicks helped pin the Tigers. He dropped one on the 1-yard line and another on 4. On the first play after the punt to the 4, Javon McCorkle ran a sweep and Vasquez tackled him in the end zone for a 2-0 Providence lead with 4 seconds left in the first quarter.

“I had no idea I was tackling him for a safety. I just went after him,” Vasquez said.

“What made the play was him running as wide as he did.”

Late in the first half, Jake

Rost and Vasquez combined on a sack that set the Tigers, who originally were firstand-goal at the 2, back to the 14, and they missed a 31-yard field goal.

Providence came back with a chance to score, but after hitting Matt MacNab with a 48-yard pass to the Wheaton Warrenville South 9, Hunniford threw an interception in the end zone on third down.

Little was brewing in the third quarter until Vasquez’s pick-six in the right flat.

“I wasn’t in coverage,” Vasquez said. “I put my hands on the tackle and he took me right to the play. I put out my hands and the ball stuck.

“It was weird. I just started running with it and I was completely blank. It was all a blur.”

Coal City’s (44) Jack Dibble dives in for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to cut the Coalers’ deficit to one point before Coal City scored a 2-point conversion to claim a 29-28 victory over Manteno in a Class 4A quarterfinal Saturday in Coal City.

CLASS 4A QUARTERFINALS: COAL CITY 29, MANTENO 28

Coal City wins with late 2-point conversion

By MARK JOHNSON Shaw Media Correspondent COAL CITY – Manteno football dealt Coal City one-point losses during the 2013 and 2014 regular seasons.

The Coalers returned the favor Saturday afternoon, with much more on the line.

The Coalers, who never led during the first 47 minutes and 24 seconds, defeated Manteno, 29-28, in a Class 4A quarterfinal at the Dzuris Athletic Complex to earn their sixth trip to the state semifinals. Considering they were down 28-7 when the fourth quarter began, it is probably their most improbable such berth.

Although Jack Dibble had

touchdown runs of 56, 6 and 65 yards earlier in the game, and 28 additional touchdowns before the game, he said none compare to his 9-yard rush with 36 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

On the play, Dibble was hit near the line of scrimmage but stayed upright and dove just inside of the left pylon of the north end zone to get the Coalers within a point.

“Probably No. 1 in the memory bank so far. I mean, I’ll remember that run for forever.

That was awesome,” Dibble said. “It was a sweep call. My guard (Kurtis Smith) pulled out in front of me. He made an awesome block and I just had to sprint as fast as I could and

get to the pylon.”

The first Coaler points scored by anyone other than Dibble or kicker Joey Quinn then won the game. After quarterback Nick Micetich faked a handoff to Dibble, he gave the ball to 155-pound senior Corey Jurzak on an end-around.

Jurzak plunged past a Manteno defender into the end zone for the two-point conversion.

“Corey Jurzak – he’s a ton,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said. “That kid had him lined up, and it was 1-on-1, OK, who’s gonna make the play here? Corey made the play.”

Other than the first Dibble touchdown run, the Coalers had little go their way during

the first 30 minutes of game time. Manteno’s Tra’Von Done had a pair of first-half touchdown runs before exiting with an injury. His replacement, Logan Duvall, added a third rushing score late in the second quarter. When Manteno’s Brian Steele scooped up a Dibble fumble and returned it 29 yards to the end zone with 7:22 left in the third quarter, some Coaler fans headed for the exits.

Coal City (10-2) began its push to make those fans regret their decisions when, one play after a Coaler punt, linebacker Paul Jones recovered a Duvall fumble.

A fourth-down pass-interference penalty against Manteno (10-1) helped keep the

drive alive, and Dibble ended by scoring from six yards out on the opening play of the fourth quarter.

“I knew we had a blitz coming. Marco (Alegria) hit him, I think. Ball popped out, (Brad Churnovic) hit it, it came to me and that was it,” Jones said. “You always think that (a comeback is possible). I was hopeful, but I didn’t know … but we did.”

The Panthers’ next two drives resulted in a punt and a turnover on downs, respectively, and Dibble answered each with a touchdown carry.

Manteno ran out of time during its final drive after Churnovic sacked Panthers quarterback Ethan Kaufman.

CLASS 5A QUARTERFINALS: PEORIA 40, MORRIS 28

Morris rallies, but can’t hold lead

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com PEORIA – For most of the last half of the football season, Morris had its back to the wall.

After starting the season 2-4, the Redskins were in door-die mode. They responded with five straight wins and a berth in Saturday’s Class 5A quarterfinal against Peoria.

Morris was the victim of some big plays by the Lions early, and the Redskins found themselves trailing, 19-0, in the first quarter. True to form, they rallied from adversity to take a 28-27 lead before Peoria’s big-play offense struck again and the Lions claimed a 40-28 decision.

Peoria (11-1) received the opening kickoff and needed just three plays to cover 48 yards. A 36-yard screen pass from Orlando Hernandez to Brandon Ruffin found the end zone and the Lions claimed a 7-0 lead just 28 seconds into the

Keagan Sobol barrels through Peoria defenders en route to a touchdown in Morris’ 40-28 loss Saturday. game.

Morris’ Jake Walker returned the ensuing kickoff beyond midfield, but the Redskins’ offense couldn’t get a first down.

Keagan Sobol’s punt was downed at the Peoria 1. Peoria’s B.J. Harris then ran for two yards before Hernandez launched a deep pass to Rion Tutt, who got behind the Morris defense. Tutt grabbed the

pass in stride and streaked the rest of the way down the field for a 97-yard touchdown. Morris’ T.J. Layne blocked the extra point kick and Peoria held a 13-0 lead with 9:03 to play in the first quarter.

On the final play of the first quarter, Peoria’s Harris grabbed a tipped pass and returned the interception 58 yards. The 2-point conversion failed, but the Lions held a 19-0

lead after one quarter.

“Peoria is a very good football team,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “They hit a couple big plays on us early and it got us out of our game a little bit. Their defensive line was very tough for us to run on.”

Morris came to life in the second quarter when Kyle Overton forced a fumble that teammate Josh Hulbert recovered. The Redskins (7-5) got on the scoreboard when Griffin Sobol hit Walker with a 44yard touchdown pass to make it 19-7.

Peoria, however, took advantage of a fumble recovery of its own, this one at the Morris 5, and Hernandez scored on a 4-yard keeper and the conversion pass made it 27-7. Griffin Sobol then kept the ball on an option and ran 51 yards before being pushed out at the 1. He snuck it in from there to make the score 27-14 at halftime.

Morris received the second-half kickoff and got a

nine-yard TD run from Keagan Sobol to cut the lead to 27-21.

Sobol then intercepted a pass to set the Redskins up at their own 44 and, on the first play, receiver Nathan Guth caught a lateral and threw a 56yard touchdown pass to Tommy Balentine. Luis Luna’s kick gave Morris a 28-27 lead with 8:36 to play in the third quarter.

“These kids showed a lot of heart,” Thorson said. “To come back and take the lead after being down by 19 early was something.”

With four minutes to play in the quarter, Peoria’s Harris bolted straight up the middle for a 64-yard touchdown to put the Lions ahead, 33-28. Peoria added another touchdown with 3:31 to go in the fourth to seal the win.

“The fight and heart in this team is second to none in my book,” Thorson said. “We just made some turnovers and mistakes that they took advantage of.”

CLASS 6A QUARTERFINALS: LEMONT 19, RICHARDS 13

Lemont survives late scare against Richards

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent OAK LAWN – The first 47 minutes were all Lemont.

The last one was all Richards, until, with the final horn sounding, Lemont’s Flynn Nagel slapped away the potential game-tying touchdown pass that was headed toward Richards’ Romello Boykin in the end zone.

Then, and only then, could Nagel and his cohorts in Indian colors exhale.

The Class 6A football quarterfinal scoreboard read Lemont 19, Richards 13, and would not change.

The Indians (12-0) led, 190, at Korhonen Field before a pair of touchdown passes by Hasan Muhammad-Rogers in the last minute wiped out the shutout.

Richards (10-2) recovered an onside kick to set up the second touchdown, then recovered another with 3.4 seconds left on the Lemont 44 for the final play. And, until Nagel’s leap and swat, it looked like it might work.

“I didn’t see much, but Hasan can definitely sling it,” Nagel said. “We had to play deep. I was in position to make the play, so all I had to do was jump up and knock it down.”

Bill Ackerman – backerman@shawmedia.com

Lemont wide receiver Flynn Nagel stiff arms a Richards defender in a Class 6A football quarterfinal Saturday in Oak Lawn. Lemont won, 19-13.

Lemont, the last public school remaining in the Class 6A playoffs, plays Peoria Notre Dame in next weekend’s semifinal game, which is expected to be played at Richwoods Stadium. The Irish beat East St. Louis, 49-27, in their quarterfinal.

Lemont took a 7-0 lead on quarterback Ryan Dawson’s

14-yard touchdown run with 1:40 left in the first half.

The Indians doubled the lead on a 9-yard pass from Dawson to Nagel 4:40 into the second quarter, one of eight receptions for 63 yards by Nagel. All of his receptions came in the first half.

The Indians led, 19-0, after

a 30-yard field goal by Marcin Orszulak and a safety.

“When we came out here, something clicked,” said linebacker Hunter LaDuke, who sacked Muhammad-Rogers twice, once on a 2-point conversion. “They’re great players, and we had to show them what we had. I feel ev-

erybody’s see a side of us you hadn’t seen before.”

Richards had scored 407 points and Lemont 470 coming into the game.

“Our defense is why we won the game,” Nagel said.

“Our offense, we’ve got to clean things up. We put the defense in tough situations.

Towards the end, we got a little sloppy.”

Lemont coach Bret Kooi said he got too conservative with his calls, but the Indians ran the ball well, picking up 231 ground yards for the game and 153 in the second half.

The Indians dominated the first half, scoring twice and rolling up 198 yards of offense to Richards’ 10 yards.

The Bulldogs were held to minus-7 yards rushing largely because of a high snap over the head of Muhammad-Rogers late in the first quarter.

They finished with 4 yards rushing because of an 18-yard scramble by Muhammad-Rogers on the play before his 14yard touchdown pass to Ryan Willett with 5 seconds to play.

That followed by 42.5 seconds his 30-yard touchdown strike to Willett, and set up the final drama.

“As ugly as it can get,” Kooi told his players.

The scoreboard only had numbers, not pictures.

Mount Carmel scores final 20 points to beat Lincoln-Way East

By JEFF DEGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent CHICAGO – Mount Carmel once again ended Lincoln-Way East’s season when it claimed a 20-7 victory in Saturday’s Class 7A quarterfinals at Gately Stadium.

The teams also met in 2006 and 2008 with the same outcome, a Caravan victory.

Three crucial penalties were the downfall of the Griffins in Saturday’s game.

“We made too many crucial errors and against a great team like Mount Carmel, they will take advantage of those situations,” East coach Rob Zvonar said.

“I was not surprised that they came out and passed the ball. We had eight, nine men in the box. They did that in 2008 when we played.”

East (10-2), which saw its 10-game win streak snapped, scored on a 17-play drive that consumed 6:48 of the clock.

The drive ended when quarterback Mike Weller threw a 23-yard pass to Alex Kraft to give the Griffins a 7-0 lead with 50 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Caravan (8-4), who host Providence (11-1) in next weekend’s semifinals, answered with a six-play drive, four of which were passes to tie the score at 7.

After a Griffin punt, Mount Carmel had a fourth-and-22 at its own 8-yard line, but an East roughing-the-punter penalty gave the Caravan a first down.

Seven plays later, Caravan quarterback Anthony Thompson ran 46 yards to give Mount Carmel a 14-7 lead. Thompson, ran the option to perfection, reminiscent of Jordan Lynch when he led the Caravan to victory over East in 2006.

To start the second half, East made the Caravan punt and got a 41-yard return by Jayison McCorkle, but a holding call, and a sack ended the Griffins opportunity.

With 1:20 remaining in the

third, East was called for a pass interference on a fourthand-4 that kept the Caravan’s final scoring drive alive.

Thompson took over from the 1 to seal the game, 20-7.

East put a drive together with 11:20 to go, with Weller completing 3 of 4 passes. On fourth-and-14, the Griffins converted a halfback pass for the first down, but it was called back with an illegal man downfield penalty.

The Griffins, who were trying to advance to their fifth semifinal game, had to punt and Mount Carmel went to the ground to run the clock down to 2:55 left.

Weller was 14 for 23 for 132

yards and the touchdown, but was sacked eight times.

Liam Morrissey, the Griffins’ workhorse running back, carried the ball 13 times for 51 yards.

Kraft, playing in his first game since Week 1 because of concussion issues, made three receptions for 30 yards to go with his touchdown.

“Our seniors gave a valiant effort today. These kids have been playing together since they were 5 years old and I’m proud of them,” Zvonar added. “Their (Mount Carmel) defense played very well today.

I never would have thought we would have had only one score.”

CLASS 3A QUARTERFINALS: WILMINGTON 20, ST. JOSEPH-OGDEN 19

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent

• Sunday, November 16, 2014

WILMINGTON – “The Wilmington Experience” was completely lived by the overflowing crowd that witnessed the Wildcats’ heart-stopping 20-19 Class 3A quarterfinal victory Saturday night over St. Joseph-Ogden.

The crowd witnessed everything from the pregame festivities greeting the undefeated Wildcats as they stormed onto Becker Field to the Wildcats’ victory formation, ending the Class 3A quarterfinal.

Wildcats senior quarterback Mason Southall took the obligatory kneel-down with 28 seconds left and watched the scoreboard tick down as his team advanced to next weekend’s semifinal against Byron.

The game also will be in Wilmington.

With the score tied at 13 with 10:30 left, senior Gavin Hawks sent the Wildcats crowd into a frenzy when he raced 64-yards to the end zone to give the hosts a lead they would not relinquish.

Wilmington senior placekicker Jake Casillas hit the extra point that proved to be the game-winner.

“The blocking on the play was phenomenal,” Hawks said. “I hit the hole and saw nothing but green. It was the most outstanding feeling I have ever had. I can’t be more excited about this hard-earned win. Have to get the ‘W’ against Byron next week.”

Wilmington (12-0) junior halfback Nick Hawkins ran through the St. Joseph-Ogden defense for 134 yards to leave the Wildcats ground attack.

Hawkins eclipsed the 1,000yard mark and has 1,054 yards and 13 touchdowns on the season.

Hawkins also caught two passes for 40 yards from Southall.

“We knew it was going to be a tough game,” Hawkins said. “We’re really happy to be moving on to the final 4. We’re going for it. We’ll be at home again and we want to play even better than we did tonight.”

The Spartans (10-2) scored first on a 10-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Eli Oltean to senior receiver

Southall drove the Wildcats (12-0) 73 yards in more than two minutes and scored a touchdown with a 10-yard strike to tie the score at 7 at the half.

“That was the toughest opponent I have ever faced here at Wilmington,” Southall said.

“A battle in the trenches. We threw the ball well tonight.

We ran our four basic plays. A great block and a great run by Gavin Hawks.”

Spartans senior Connor Janes crashed in from 3 yards out to give SJ-O a 13-7 lead with 5:18 left in the third quarter. The Spartans extra point was no good.

Wilmington evened the score at 13 when senior tailback Nick McWilliams scored his 22nd touchdown of the season from 5 yards out.

The extra point was no good.

After Hawks’ run gave the

Wildcats the lead, the Spartans drove down and pulled within 20-19 on Janes’ second 3-yard touchdown run.

Once again, the all-important extra point was no good.

On the ensuing Wildcats drive, the running of Hawkins and McWilliams made numerous first downs and ate up most of the remaining time. The Wilmington defense thwarted a last-ditch Spartans effort, which resulted in the turning the ball to the Wildcats.

“Typical quarterfinal game for us,” Wilmington coach Jeff Reents. “Hats off to St. Joseph and coach Dick Duvall. A great coach and a great team.

Great call by Barry (Southall) on Gavins’ big run. Nick Hawkins was running great and then Gavins’ goes 66-yards for the winning score.

Mason Southall had a great game throwing the ball for us and hats off to our offensive line.”

TAYLOR 20, ST. FRANCIS 14

CLASS 8A QUARTERFINALS: HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 25, BOLINGBROOK 13

St. Francis H-F knocks out Bolingbrook falls to Taylor in finale

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media Correspondent

SUBMITTED REPORTS

UPLAND, Ind. – In the season finale for both teams, Taylor University football took advantage of six University of St. Francis turnovers en route to a 20-14 win over the Saints in Mid-States Football Association Mideast League action Saturday.

St. Francis (4-7, 1-5 MFSA ) held the Trojans to 145 yards of total offense, but was plagued by four interceptions and a pair of lost fumbles.

USF opened the scoring on a 26-yard pass play from junior Trace Wanless to senior wideout Troy Torrence early in the second quarter. Torrence’s TD catch was the 20th of his career, adding to his St. Francis career record. He finished the game with five receptions for 73 yards.

Taylor (5-6) got on the board midway through the second quarter when Nathaniel Ryan picked off Wanless and rambled 5 yards into the end zone. The Trojans failed on a 2-point conversion attempt, keeping the Saints on top, 7-6.

The Trojans launched their lone sustained drive of the game late in the half, going 44 yards on eight plays, capped by a 10-yard pass from Michael Miller to Caleb Nicley with 20 seconds left in the second quarter. Miller connected with Robby Robbins on the 2-point conversion to put the Trojans up 14-7 at halftime.

A pair of Wynn Goggin field goals, a 38-yard effort with eight seconds left in the third quarter and a 30-yarder at the 9:15 mark of the fourth quarter increased the Trojans’ lead to 20-7. Both field goals came four plays after interceptions, the first by Taylor Borst and the second from Cameron Gray.

St. Francis made it a one possession game with 3:50 to go on a 2-yard plunge by junior John Magee, whose seventh rushing TD of the year concluded a 14play, 68-yard drive.

After forcing Taylor’s ninth punt of the game, USF got the ball back at its own 23-yard line with 2:21 left to play, but the Saints turned the ball over on downs to end the game.

Wanless completed 21 of 37 attempts for 213 yards and a touchdowns, but was picked off on four occasions. Miller was 11 for 24 for 51 yards.

FLOSSMOOR – Homewood-Flossmoor took advantage of multiple Bolingbrook second-half mistakes to earn a 25-13 win Saturday in a Class 8A quarterfinal.

The Vikings (10-2) advance to the semifinals Saturday against Simeon, which won, 34-20, over Naperville Central.

Bolingbrook (8-4) trailed, 16-7, at halftime, but it had the ball to start the third quarter. Raiders quarterback Adam Klein was intercepted by Deante Harley Hampton setting up H-F at its 45-yard line.

The Raiders forced an H-F punt, but Quincy Woods fumbled it to give the ball back to H-F. The Vikings did not score because of a stout Raiders defense. Each team then traded possessions before the next Bolingbrook miscue.

The Raiders fumbled late in the

third quarter to set up the Vikings at the Bolingbrook 22-yard line. H-F scored a touchdown when quarterback Bryce Gray hit receiver Jared Sharp with a 26-yard touchdown pass on a fourth-and-14. That made the score 23-7 at the end of the third quarter.

Bolingbrook took the opening possession of the fourth quarter 71 yards in 4:30 to cut the lead to 23-13 when Julian Huff scored on a 1-yard touchdown run. The 2-point conversion run failed, however.

The Raiders forced H-F to punt on its next possession, but the punt went out of bounds at the Raiders’ 5-yard line.

On the first play of the series, Klein fumbled in the end zone, but recovered it there, saving a touchdown, but giving H-F a safety to make it 25-13 with 4:56 to play in the fourth quarter.

The key play of the first half occurred in the last 5:08 of the second

quarter. The score was tied at 7, but the Raiders were pinned back at their own 6 facing fourth-and-10.

Klein lined up in the end zone to punt, but the snap sailed over his head for a safety to give H-F a 9-7 lead.

Bolingbrook kicked from its own 20 and the Vikings took the ball to the Raiders’ 47-yard-line. Then H-F drove 47 yards in seven plays. Gray hit tight end James Sheehan with a 25-yard touchdown pass to put H-F ahead 16-7 with 1:13 to play in the half.

The Raiders drove it to the H-F 36 before turning it over on downs right at halftime.

H-F opened the scoring on its first drive of the game. The Vikings took the ball 76 yards in 13 plays to take a 7-0 lead. Gray ran it in from 11 yards out.

Bolingbrook tied the score when Klein threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to receiver Dimitri Akenten with 6:36 to play in the second quarter.

saw Grimm early on in her career, she said, “This girl’s got hops.” Grimm entered the state tournament with 418 kills over two years.

Fornoff has not always been in the starting lineup, but she excelled in every one of the many roles where she was used.

“Keegan will make a great coach if she ever decides to go that route,” Scheibe said.

“She is a true grit player.”

Onto baseball, where coach Jared Voss said, “This is always a real cool day, where the kids have put in so much hard work and you see them getting rewarded. All four who are signing here represent what we feel Joliet Catholic baseball is all about. They play fast, they play hard, they compete.”

competing for a starting spot.

“He took his spot and never looked back,” Voss said. “He has done a little of everything for us. He’s a lunch-pail guy.

“Then there’s Mitch Boe, who is our fox-hole guy. His will to succeed is second to none. He is extremely talented but he also has put in the work to get to this point.”

Boe is a 5-foot-9, 165-pound shortstop who also can play second base or third base.

“With my size, I had to work harder,” he said.

The possibility exists that Dalesandro and Boe were oppose each other in the Big Ten. “We joke around about that,” Dalesandro said.

Of course, Dalesandro also could have a difficult decision come June. Projections are he could be a relatively high draft pick and if so, the temp-

JOLIET – The Joliet Catholic girls volleyball team competed this weekend in the Class 3A state volleyball tournament.

The JCA baseball team won the Phil Lawler Classic summer state tournament and is looking forward to making a run at the Class 3A state championship in the spring.

Multiple standouts from both teams were honored last Wednesday during JCA’s national letter-of-intent signing ceremony at the school Angels moving on from the volleyball team include Mary Murphy, who signed with Western Michigan, and Keegan Fornoff and Madeline Grimm, both of whom will play at Southeast Missouri State.

The baseball players signing were Nick Dalesandro with Purdue, Mitch Boe with Iowa, Dan Ehrsam with Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and Mike Quiram with St Francis.

In addition, standout Joliet Jets YMCA swimmer Savannah Rubocki signed with Illinois State and volleyball player Lauren Lukasik, who was not with the Angels but earned a college scholarship through her work with the Fusion Volleyball Club out of Batavia, signed with Dowling College.

Rubocki, who has been coached with the Jets by Dave Hedden, has been a finalist in the 400 IM and 500 free state and national YMCA meets.

“This is a big week,” Murphy said. “You have to say we have a pretty athletic class.

I never realized how many kids from her go on.”

“Mary is a three-year varsity player and her leadership has been invaluable,” JCA volleyball coach Christine Scheibe said of Murphy.

Scheibe said when she

tation to sign may be difficult to resist.

“Nick already has played in three state championship games for us [two in summers, one in the spring of 2013],” Voss noted. “What I love about him most is he is an intense competitor.

“He also is the most versatile player I have every seen. Put him anywhere, and he will be the best player out there.”

“Nick is a straight-up athlete,” Boe said. “He can to it all.”

Dalesandro said the Hilltoppers have the team to do big things in the spring, but there’s more to it.

“We’re really good friends,” he said. “It’s a cliche to talk about family, but we really are one family.”

Ehrsam will be in the Hilltoppers’ starting rotation in the spring.

“If any of you want to see him pitch, you better not be late or you’re going to miss it,” Voss said, referring to how quickly Ehrsam works.

“He doesn’t say much. He’s a silent assassin. Every time he is out there, he’ll be smarter, more competitive and probably will have worked harder than the other guy.

“I think SIU-Edwardsville got a real steal.”

Ehrsam’s fastball is in the mid-80s and he throws a curve and changeup.

“Danny just goes out and does his job,” Dalesandro said. “You never have to worry about him not being ready to pitch.”

“It was nice to win the summer state title, but obviously in the spring, we have a higher goal,” Ehrsam said.

Quiram said he wanted to stay close to home.

He said he has an uncle who played baseball at USF and Ryan Quigley, who pitched at JCA and has been an assistant coach there, talked to him about how he could see him playing with the Saints.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

Tune in Watch Hub Arkush and the rest of our coverage team break down this weekend’s Bears game on “Chicago Football Now” at 10:30 a.m. Saturdays on WCIU The U or at 2:30 p.m. Saturdays on WCUU The U Too. is the Achilles’ heel of this offense.

Greg Jennings is productive as a possession-type receiver, but Cordarrelle Patterson was supposed to be the home run hitter, and he’s been a big disappointment.

This could be a week for Bears cornerbacks Kyle Fuller and Tim Jennings to get healthy.

The other side of the ball is trickier.

The Vikings’ first-round pick this year, Anthony Barr, has become a monster at outside linebacker. Last year’s first choice, Sharrif Floyd, is emerging as a dynamic three technique, and fifth-year right end Everson Griffen got a big payday to stay in Minnesota and has emerged as a force in the pass rush.

The Vikings are tied for third in the NFL with 30 sacks, nine from Griffen.

Jay Cutler’s health Sunday might depend on how Brian de La Puente steps in at guard for Matt Slauson and how Michael Ola most likely replaces Jordan Mills at right tackle with Cutler’s sixth part-time protector, Eben Britton, still out recovering from an appendectomy.

Although running back Matt Forte is tied for fifth in the NFL with 61 receptions, he might have to stay home more than usual to help protect Cutler, and tight end Martellus Bennett is on the mend but still nursing tender ribs.

Where you’d expect to find

the Bears’ advantage on this side of the ball is at cornerback. Xavier Rhodes and Captain Munnerlyn are just guys, while Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery are reigning Pro Bowlers.

Rhodes is a big corner at 6-1, 210, which helps against the Bears’ receivers, but Munnerlyn is 5-9, 185 and will be at a big disadvantage with whichever wideout he draws.

All of that, however, is based on all things being equal. The fact is, the Bears haven’t shown up for their past three games, whereas the Vikings are getting better every week under wildly popular rookie coach Mike Zimmer.

If the Bears show up, this is a winnable game. The question is, considering they haven’t shown up in recent weeks, what makes us think they will this week?

EVANSTON – It took some prodding by his coaches, but after the Northwestern men’s basketball team was bullied by Houston Baptist in the first half Friday night, the biggest man in Welsh-Ryan Arena did something about it.

Seven-foot, 270-pound center Alex Olah scored 18 of his 21 points after the break, and the Wildcats got off the mat to take a hard-earned 65-58 decision against the stubborn Huskies in the season opener for both teams.

On the face of it, the Minnesota Vikings should be tailor made for these Bears.

Although they actually have continued to run the ball fairly well without Adrian Peterson – through 10 weeks, they are 10th in the NFL in rushing – they are 27th in total offense.

The Bears also should have the advantage of a possessed Jared Allen.

It is easy to believe the likely future Hall of Famer when he said he has no ill will toward his former team, but let’s be honest, nobody wants to be told they’re not wanted any longer.

It is almost impossible to believe Allen won’t be out to show the Vikings he still has some gas left in the tank, and he also will have the advantage against a former No. 4 overall draft pick, Matt Kalil, who was drafted to be a franchise left tackle recently playing some of the worst football of his career.

Willie Young, on the other side, also could have his way

Lunt can’t save Illini from Iowa in defeat

Northwestern kicker Jack Mitchell (8) celebrates after scoring a field goal Saturday during the second half against Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. Northwestern won, 43-40, in overtime.

NORTHWESTERN 43, NO. 15 NOTRE DAME 40 (OT)

Wildcats shock Irish in OT

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald already knew what it felt like to beat Notre Dame. That’s because he did it as a linebacker in 1995, in a game the Chicago SunTimes described as “The Upset of the Century.”

He thinks he likes this win more.

Northwestern’s Jack Mitchell forced the game into overtime with a 45-yard field goal with 19 seconds left in regulation, then hit a 41-yard field goal to give Northwestern a 43-40 win Saturday over No. 15 Notre Dame.

Fitzgerald said he hadn’t talked about the 1995 game with his team but said they knew about it because of media reports.

“It should be told. It’s a special part of our tradition and a special part of our history,” he said.

Even the hardiest of Wildcats fans might have given up hope when the Irish went took the

lead when Will Fuller caught his third touchdown pass with 10:34 left. Northwestern’s next drive stalled at the Notre Dame 26 and a 43-yard attempt from Mitchell was blocked by Mike McGlinchey.

But the Wildcats gave themselves a chance when they drove 73 yards in less than two minutes and quarterback Trevor Siemian scored untouched on a 6-yard run with 4:10 left. Warren Long made a 2-point conversion on a run after Notre Dame (7-3) was called for pass interference.

Mitchell then kicked a 45yard field goal with 19 seconds left to force overtime. Then he nailed a 41-yard field goal for the game-winner after Notre Dame’s Kyle Brindza missed from 42 yards.

“This win is incredible,” Mitchell said.

All of Mitchell’s four field goals were longer than his previous career high of 29 yards.

“I’m really, really proud of the young man, the way he stepped up,” Fitzgerald said.

The game was a stark contrast to last week when North-

western couldn’t win in the closing seconds when Siemian slipped attempting a two-point conversion at the end of the game against Michigan.

Ultimately, it might be an even more shocking outcome than the 1995 game. Sure, the Wildcats were 28-point underdogs in that game, but they finished the season 10-2, played in the Rose Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 8. This year’s Wildcats had lost four straight and were floundering offensively.

The Irish defense struggled as it gave up 30 or more points for a fifth straight game, only the second time that’s happened. The other time was in the first five games of 2007, when the Irish finished 3-9 in one of the worst season’s in Notre Dame history.

“So many things happened in that game that it’s hard to put them all in perspective as I’m standing here right now,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.

“We had the game pretty much in our hands and we turned the ball over.”

CHAMPAIGN – With quarterback Wes Lunt returning from a broken leg Saturday against Iowa, Illinois hoped its offense would again become the fast-moving threat it was in early in the season.

But Lunt’s return was quiet and the Hawkeyes piled up 587 yards of offense to batter the Illini, 30-14.

Iowa scored 21 second-half points to turn what was a tight, 9-7 Hawkeye edge into a second-straight blowout loss for Illinois (4-6, 1-5 Big Ten).

“The most frustrating part of this game is that we were smacking each other for three quarters and then in the fourth it just fell apart at the end,” Illinois coach Tim Beckman said. “Again, credit them for what they did but it was a game for three quarters there, we just didn’t finish.”

Lunt finished 14 for 25 for 102 yards and a touchdown, his lowest totals for completions, yards and completion percentage of the season. He played behind an offensive line with two new starters, and Illinois’ offense committed five costly penalties and surrendered a safety when Lunt threw the ball away in his own end zone.

“We just got our quarterback back and new two linemen so you know there’s going to be some little mistakes early,” Illinois receiver Mike Dudek said. “But that kept happening, we’ve got to get

those fixed or it’s going to be a tough game next weekend too.”

The freshman receiver was a rare bright spot for the Illini, finishing with six catches for 80 yards and both Illinois touchdowns.

The Hawkeyes’ two-point halftime lead seemed to almost defy the 294 yards of offense and four long drives down the field they had by halftime.

But in the locker room, Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz said he didn’t deliver a great, inspirational speech or draw up a game-changing adjustment.

“There was no drama, really,” Ferentz said. “At some point you’ve got to dig in and do something. You’ve got to finish drives.”

Running back Mark Weisman ran for 134 yards on 23 carries and the Hawkeyes (7-3, 4-2) rushed for a season-high 304 yards. Quarterback Jake Rudock added another 210 yards and two touchdowns through the air on 14 of 21 passing.

“Seeing that 300 number come up there for rushing yards is pretty cool,” Weisman said. “The offensive line, tight ends, fullbacks, receivers blocking downfield, it was awesome out there.”

Early on, the Hawkeyes had to scrape to get a 2-0 lead on Lunt’s safety. Illinois’ defense gave up big yards but stopped the Hawkeyes three times on fourth-down plays to keep the game close.

No. 16 Georgia 34, No. 9 Auburn 7: At Athens, Georgia, Nick Chubb shared the spotlight in Todd Gurley’s return, with both backs rushing for more than 100 yards in No. 16 Georgia’s victory over ninth-ranked Auburn.

Georgia (8-2, 6-2, No. 15 CFP) dominated the latest edition in Deep South’s oldest rivalry, handing the Tigers (7-3, 4-3, No. 9 CFP) their second straight loss

and finishing off any hopes they had of repeating as Southeastern Conference champions.

No. 17 Arizona 27, Washington 26: At Tucson, Arizona, Casey Skowron kicked a 47-yard field goal as time expired to give No. 17 Arizona a wild victory over Washington.

Kaelin Clay caught a 25-yard TD pass on the first play of overtime before the Cardinal came back with the tying score.

Jordan Williamson kicked a career-long 51-yard field goal – the same one Stanford passed up late in the fourth quarter – to start the second session, setting the stage for the Utes’ dramatic finish.

MADISON, Wis. – Melvin Gordon rushed for a major college-record 408 yards and four touchdowns and No. 11 Wisconsin overcame three early turnovers to take control of the Big Ten West division with a 59-24 win Saturday over No. 22 Nebraska.

Gordon eclipsed the single-game mark held since 1999

by TCU’s LaDainian Tomlinson by two yards, setting the new standard on a 26-yard touchdown run on the final play of the third quarter and his last carry of the game.

Rutgers 45, Indiana 23: At Piscataway, New Jersey, Gary Nova threw two touchdown passes to Leonte Carroo and Robert Martin ran for three more as Rutgers defeated Indiana to become bowl eligible for the ninth time in 10 seasons.

The win barely overshadowed a magnificent perfor-

mance by Indiana halfback Tevin Coleman, who rushed for a career-high 307 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown run late in the first half. It was the second best game in school history, trailing only Anthony Thompson’s 377-yard effort in 1989.

At State College, Pennsylvania, Penn State capitalized on five Temple turnovers, Akeel Lynch rushed for 130 yards and the Nittany Lions defeated the Owls to become bowl-eligible for the first time since 2011.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Blake Sims, T.J. Yeldon and No. 4 Alabama’s relentless defense delivered on a big stage, and the Crimson Tide held off No. 1 Mississippi State, 25-20, on Saturday.

The Tide (9-1, 6-1 Southeastern Conference, No. 5 CFP) re-asserted itself as a national title contender with a dominant first half and some clutch play in the fourth quarter.

Dak Prescott and the Bulldogs (9-1, 5-1, No. 1 CFP) kept fighting to keep their first-ever reign going for a sixth week.

They couldn’t conquer Alabama at raucous Bryant-Denny Stadium, though.

No. 2 Florida State 30, Miami 26: At Miami Gardens, Florida, Dalvin Cook ran for two touchdowns, including the goahead score late in the fourth, and No. 2 Florida State continued its season of rallies by erasing a 16-point deficit and topping Miami.

Jameis Winston completed 25 of 42 passes for 304 yards for the Seminoles (10-0, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 3 CFP), who extended their winning streak to 26 games and beat Miami for the fifth straight time.

No. 5 TCU 34, Kansas 30: At Lawrence, Kansas, Aaron Green ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns, Cameron Echols-Luper returned a punt 69 yards for another score and No. 5 TCU turned back a spirited upset bid from Kansas that kept the Horned Frogs in playoff contention.

Trevone Boykin added 330 yards

Illinois Department on Aging honors Plainfield man for industrial chemist work

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – The number of skin wrinkles and sunspots Plainfield’s Walter Voyt has helped prevent will never be known, but on Oct. 22, Voyt, 70, was publicly recognized for his contributions to society and his achievements in the field of chemistry.

Voyt was one of four people inducted into the 2014 Senior Illinois Hall of Fame. The Illinois Department on Aging selects one recipient each year to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the categories of community service, performance and/or graphic arts, education, and the category for which Voyt won, labor force.

His achievements were as an industrial chemist at the Amoco Joliet plant and as a “freelance inventor,” as he terms it.

“My goal was always to find a useful invention,” Voyt said. “The lab was my big boy’s chemistry set. I felt just like Thomas Edison.”

Voyt said he was 12 when his father, a man who never graduated eighth grade, bought him a chemistry set.

Since then, Voyt said he has continually worked on a science project.

With that chemistry set, Voyt recalled growing crystals, performing pH analyses and catching the fumes of lit matches in test tubes to convert the vapors to sulfuric acid. By the time he was a freshman, he was building and flying 4-foot rockets in the fields near his Posen home.

“I read every Willy Ley book I could on the construction of rockets,” Voyt said After earning a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, Voyt went to work at the Joliet Amoco plant as a chemist. He learned quickly and eventually received independence in lab direction, Voyt said.

On Oct. 22, The Illinois Department on Aging inducted Walter Voyt of Plainfield into the Illinois Hall of Fame. Voyt and his family are pictured at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield. Jose Hernandez (from left), Freddy Ponce, Jessica Ponce, Tara Ponce, Walter Voyt, Carol Voyt, Adam Turner, Jacob Turner, Nolan Turner and Laura Turner.

One day in 1972, while noticing displays on Vitamin E acetate in a drug store, Voyt bought several bottles and took them to the lab to perform experiments, such as how they absorbed ultraviolet, or UV, light.

Voyt said he found synthetic forms of Vitamin E didn’t absorb enough of the UV spectrum. So Voyt bought the natural forms of Vitamin E, concentrated from wheat germ oil, he said, and that Vitamin E absorbed UVB very well.

This finding fascinated him.

“I was shocked that it did what it did,” he said.

Because Voyt also was interested in the antioxidant properties of this vitamin, he

said he later conducted experiments on how it might affect skin cancer caused by sun exposure. He began by using Whatman filter paper number one to rub the natural oils off his face.

Voyt calculated he got from two to six milligrams of oil from each scrub. Then he applied various sunscreens, natural vitamin E, and other substances he thought might be sunscreens to the filter paper and exposed it to sunlight for a couple of hours.

He analyzed the paper for the presence of the carcinogen and mutagen malondialdehyde, which forms in the skin on UV exposure. He found that the natural vitamin E scavenged the free radicals that led to the formation of the

carcinogen.

“The sunscreens didn’t stop the formation of malondialdehyde,” Voyt said, “But when combined with [natural] vitamin E, it did stop it.”

In other words, Voyt said, sunlight and tanning beds were carcinogenic to human skin, even if the common sunscreens in use at that time were used. Voyt said he also discovered some of the cancer-causing nature of UVA rays.

“I sent Johnson & Johnson the results of my work, and they were floored,” Voyt said From 1980 to 1990, Voyt said the company had exclusive use to his patent. During that time, Voyt said he and company representatives communicated with each oth-

er. Today, many sunscreens contain substances that block both UVA and UVB, as well as natural Vitamin E, Voyt said.

“If I had another five years, I’d straighten out the confusion out there in the sunscreen field,” Voyt said Voyt said it feels good to be recognized for his contributions. Although he is retired, he keeps up on the latest news and has a chemistry set at his house.

On his home computers and with a spreadsheet, Voyt is developing a scale for the optimal number of calories to ingest during meals and each day.

“I would like to develop a very simple way for people to know just how much food they should eat,” Voyt said.

PLAINFIELD – Justin Slusher of Plainfield, a senior at Lemont High School, participated in Explore Your Future, a six-day career exploration camp at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf on the RIT campus in Rochester, New York. Campers received a taste of possible careers in computer art design, business, health care, laboratory science, computing and engineering.

Explore Your Future, in its 29th year, helped the students and their parents decide what majors and careers may best interest them and allowed many to meet others their ages who have similar backgrounds.

Evening activities included visiting an amusement park, bowling and a dance.

Many of the students used sign language to communicate.

Others didn’t. But the diversity in communication didn’t stop them from making many new friends.

NTID, one of nine colleges of RIT, was established by Congress in 1965 to provide college opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals who were underemployed in technical fields. Visit www.rit. edu/NTID.

ROMEOVILLE – ELS Language Centers joined the Lewis University community this fall to offer instruction in multiple levels of English as a Second Language to international students from abroad.

Contributing to international diversity, the ELS program will provide offices, classrooms and a language laboratory for students on the Lewis campus in Mother Teresa Hall, which started in October. ELS operates continuously in four-week sessions, consisting of six classes a day, 52 weeks a year. Students will participate in various classes that focus on structure and speaking practice, language studies and reading and writing.

Students also may choose to take skills enhancement classes that focus on conversation, listening comprehension, American culture, public speaking and current

events.

ELS international students will have the opportunity to reside in a residence hall on campus, or participate in a “home stay” program in the region while taking courses.

Students who opt for the “home stay” program will live with nearby American families, allowing for additional opportunities to enhance their English speaking abilities and become acquainted with American customs.

ELS is actively recruiting families for the “home stay” program.

With more than 50 locations nationwide, ELS is the largest network of U.S. campus-based English language instruction centers in the world.

Happy 80th Birthday!

Mary Ann Corcoran Mary Ann Kapellas was born in Joliet, IL in 1934, the daughter of Greek, Irish and German decent. She was an only child for seven years and enjoyed the attention of her parents. Taking care of her sister Kay and brother Paul, the three are still very close today. Encouraged by her Grandmother to dance at 5, and a full-time student by ten, she went on to student-teach while attending Providence Catholic H.S. Setting her goals to be a Professional Dancer and Instructor, she graduated from Providence in 1952 and went on to take dance at (CNADM) Chicago National Association of Dance Masters. She married Robert F. Corcoran at St Paul The Apostle Catholic Church on October 16, 1954 and just celebrated 60 years of marriage. They later settled down to raise three children at 515 Wilcox St., across from CFS. While attending (CNADM) she earned her master’s of Dance and established Mary Ann Corcoran Dance Studio. It was from this small two-bedroom bungalow that thousands of students came to be inspired by this tiny 5 foot woman.

She joyfully taught two generations of young children to stand on a stage in front of their family and friends and let their guards down...if only for a moment. Many a frightened child would focus on her and her voice and the fear would somehow wash away! After thirty five years of business, the city of Joliet recognized Mary Ann Corcoran as one of their “Daughters”, naming May 26th “Mary Ann Corcoran Day”. She was the first woman in the city’s history to run a sole propriety for thirty five years. She once said, “It was never a job...always a pleasure to teach dancing to so many wonderful students”. Now retired, she keeps busy with her five grandchildren and her husband, Bob of now 60 years. Mary Ann, once again we wish you a very Happy 80th Birthday....”Please and Thank you”!

Love Your family and friends....

SHOREWOOD – James Massey of Shorewood, a member of Joliet Lodge 300, Loyal Order of Moose, was summoned to receive the Pilgrim Degree of Merit, the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of the Loyal Order of Moose. The conferral was May 31 in the House of God at Mooseheart.

The degree, currently held by less than one-half of one percent of the members of the fraternity throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Bermuda, is the Order’s ultimate reward for exceptional devotion to the principles and ideals of caring for children and senior members.

It is earned only by members who have given years of “above-the-call-of-duty” service to the Loyal Order of Moose and its principle philanthropic endeavors of Mooseheart, a city for children in need, located 40 miles west of Chicago, and Moosehaven, a retirement community for senior members, located on the banks of the St. Johns River in Florida.

The Pilgrim Degree ceremony, traditionally held on the same day as the Commencement Exercises for Mooseheart High School, is conferred only inside Mooseheart’s House of God, the magnificent multi-denominational cathedral built in 1950.

Members receiving this degree are entitled to wear a much-coveted gold blazer, which is formally presented to the honoree during a special ceremony attended by other Pilgrims, members of the higher degrees of both the Loyal Order of Moose and Women of the Moose, family, friends, community leaders, and other members of the Order.

Massey received his blazer Sept. 14 at Joliet Lodge 300.

Also present were leaders of the Illinois Association to offer their congratulations to Massey.

To learn more about what Moose members are doing in the communities in your area, visit www.mooseintl.org or call 630-966-2229.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Was he pushed, or did he fall?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Jason Derulo, a singer-songwriter and dancer, said, “If you think you’ve already made it, that’s when you can fall short and go backwards. I’m constantly pushing forward and chasing the element of perfection.”

It is impossible to find perfection at the bridge table. Mary Fort of St. Louis, Missouri, sent me this deal with the heading: Pushed to Slam. What do you think of the auction at her table during a duplicate?

Most players would open one spade with that West hand. However, it is not silly to pass, hoping to make a descriptive two-suited bid on the second round.

Some Norths would have overcalled four hearts, especially at the favorable vulnerability. There is an expression “bid more with six-four,” so presumably one should bid even more with seven-four.

Over an opponent’s weak jump overcall, responder with support for partner’s major suit should bid one level higher than he would have done in an uncontested auction. Here, East’s hand was worth a game-invitational limit raise, so he should have jumped to four spades. (With a game-forcing spade raise, East would have cue-bid four hearts.)

South’s four diamonds was risky because it could have been passed out. But when the auction played out perfectly, South might well have bid seven diamonds over five spades. North had to be void in spades, and declarer could have either ruffed all of her spade losers or established North’s heart suit.

If North had king-high hearts, it would have been just too bad ... unlucky!

Here, seven diamonds would have been easy to make.

Dear Abby: I’m a 50-year-old man in a relationship with a woman who is 42. She says I need to trade in my briefs for boxer shorts because they are outdated and “nobody wears those” anymore. She also told me only 9-year-old boys wear tighty whities, and they are a turn-off.

I have always worn fly-front briefs. I don’t like boxers because I find them uncomfortable. What can I do to fix this problem? She will not look at it from my perspective. – Likes It Brief

Big Brother In California Dear Big Brother: I would

caution you against doing that. If you and your sister were close and she was gay, she would have said something to you by now. Not all women meet the right man, and not all women these days WANT to be married. It does

not mean they are lesbians.

Your sister is gainfully employed, so the fact that she lives with your parents does not mean she’s financially exploiting them. That you would call her “daddy’s little girl” is pejorative and implies you’re jealous of the relationship she has with your father, which is why I think you should MYOB. Dear Abby: I was invited to an event and sent back an RSVP. Two days before the event, I caught a cold.

Because I had already accepted, I decided to go. When I arrived, I saw several people I knew. Each of them tried to hug me, but I told them I had a cold and thought it best not to get too close. All but one recoiled and turned away from me.

I sat at a separate table so as not to infect anyone.

Although I thought I had done the right thing, I felt like I was being treated like a leper. Should I have stayed home, mentioned my cold or just behaved like “business as usual?” – “Typhoid Tina”

In Florida Dear “Typhoid Tina”: When

you realized that you had come down with a cold and might be contagious, you should have immediately contacted your host, declined the invitation and explained that you didn’t want to risk spreading it. That’s the considerate way to handle it, and it would have been appreciated.

The Argyle Sweater

you allow this woman to dictate what kind of underwear you wear now, she’ll be wearing the pants during your entire relationship if you stay with her. Tell her once and for all that if wearing boxers is so important to her, she should buy herself a pair.

Dear Abby: I think my sister “Gladys” is a lesbian. And I don’t know how to approach her to ask.

I think she’s a lesbian because at 44 she has never been married. She hasn’t even had a boyfriend since 1998. She still lives with our parents and acts like she’s daddy’s little girl. She does everything with Dad, and Mom usually stays home.

My sister is an RN and has only one friend from the hospital where she works. Of course, that friend is a woman. How can I ask my sister if she prefers women and why she is still alone at her age? –
