Joliet preparing for winter with snow removal contracts

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The City Council on Tuesday is set to approve two contracts totaling $97,000 for snow removal this upcoming winter.

Council members at Monday night’s pre-council meeting put the item on the agenda for Tuesday night.

Two local companies will be awarded separate contracts: one to remove snow from commuter lots, train platforms and sidewalks near Union Station, and another for clearing snow in downtown lots, parking decks and sidewalks over the Des Plaines River bridges.

City staff estimates Joliet will experience about 15 snow events during the winter season, according to a November memo from City

Manager Jim Hock.

Joliet-based Georges Landscaping will be awarded the city center contract with the lowest bid of $3,484 a snow event. For the Union Station contract, New Lenox-based CMJ Construction had the lowest bid at $1,948 an event.

Georges Landscaping and CMJ Construction also submitted supplemental salting-only bids, at $2,280 and $849 an event, respectively.

Bitter temperatures and high snowfall totals caused issues citywide last winter, from emergency frozen water pipe repairs and snowpacked cul-de-sacs.

Joliet received nearly 60 inches of snowfall last winter, up from previous years, including the 18 inches tallied in the 2012-13 season and the 34.2 inches totaled during the 2010-11 season.

In other business:

Kate Knuth, general manager with the Louis Joliet Mall, updated council members on the status of the Joliet mall at 3340 Mall Loop Drive.

The mall will be nearly 100 percent occupied for the holiday season, Knuth said, because of the recent addition of H&M – a worldwide clothing retailer with more than 3,200 stores.

H&M will open in December, occupying about 23,000 square feet in the mall.

There only are 37 shopping days left until Christmas, Knuth told council members, adding that they’ll have to stop by the mall to see the latest additions and improvements firsthand.

“My granddaughters will certainly be excited (for H&M),” Councilwoman Bettye Gavin said.

‘Aggressive’ effort helps boost Crest Hill construction projects

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – The city is moving forward on several new construction projects and is maintaining an “aggressive” approach, Mayor Ray Soliman said.

At a regular City Council meeting Monday night, Soliman said an increasing number of public works projects and infrastructure repairs are a direct result of the sales tax referendum passed in 2012.

“We are being very aggressive, we are being very proactive in making some infrastructure improvements and road improvements that will benefit all in the city of Crest Hill,” Soliman said.

The City Council on Monday approved several payments to engineering firms for preliminary plans on projects to be under construction starting in 2015.

A total of $59,720 was awarded to Burke Engineer-

ing for the design of the Dearborn Street water main project.

Burke Engineering also will receive $60,000 for the 2015-16 Motor Fuel Tax program, and $98,000 for working on three projects in the city’s stormwater infrastructure improvement plan.

Strand Associates received $55,010 for services rendered on improvements to city water well No. 4.

“We are moving in the right direction in the city,” Soliman said, adding that residents’ next water bill will contain a newsletter detailing the work the city is doing.

The projects are part of an ongoing five-year infrastructure plan.

The city is finishing up with stormwater infrastructure improvements on Eldorado Drive and a water main replacement on Clement Street.

Several other roads in the city have been repaved.

Sewage treatment plants

Another part of the infrastructure plan are the east and west sewage treatment plants.

While the $23.8 million east treatment plant project is nearing completion, City Administrator John Tomasoski said the west treatment plant project was delayed.

In February, the city authorized $20.3 million in bonds for the construction of a new west sewage plant.

The new plant would replace the current facility at the northwest corner of Theodore Street and Gaylord Road.

“The lowest bid for the west plant exceeded the amount we authorized,” Tomasoski said, explaining how the lack of a lower bid and retirement of Deputy Director of Public Works Mike Greenan slowed down the process for the west plant.

“The east plant is also taking longer than anticipated, so we decided to complete the east then move on to the west plant,” Tomasoski said.

QUICK NEWS Garbage pickup changes next week

JOLIET – Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, the city of Joliet and Waste Management have announced that collection pickup regularly scheduled for Nov. 27 will be picked up Nov. 28.

Customers with Friday regularly scheduled collection service will be picked up Nov. 29.

In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, City Hall will be closed Nov. 27 and 28. In addition, the parking decks will be free of charge, and there will be no enforcement of the parking meters.

There will be some restricted parking areas on downtown streets to accommodate the annual tree-lighting ceremony and holiday parade, which starts at 5 p.m. Nov. 28 in downtown Joliet.

COVER STORY

3

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A lot has changed since Joliet Job Corps got its start 35 years ago.

In the beginning, the Joliet facility – which is now among 125 federally funded youth employment training centers in the country – was modeled after the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps for young people out of work, said Jan Larsen, business community liaison for the long-standing program.

Unemployed individuals were provided a paying job, along with basic room and board, but they didn’t receive training in any particular skills to further their careers, she said.

The U.S. Department of Labor program’s mission has changed drastically since then, she said, noting a shift in focus toward professionalism, career training and academics.

“Now, I would say our No. 1 thing is employability,” Larsen said. “If you show up late or disrespect people, you’re not going to last.”

While this is the 35th year for Joliet Job Corps, 2014 marks the 50th anniversary for the federal program. Job Corps was created in 1964 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “War on Poverty.”

Housed at the former Joliet East High School, the local program today provides job training for low-income young men and woman ages 16 to 24, often live-ins. To ensure chances for success, the approximately 300 students enrolled are subject to regular drug testing and strict curfews. New students who test positive for drugs have a 45day window to get clean, she said.

Students in the Joliet Job Corps Security/Military Career Preparation Program drill in class Monday in Joliet.

Charles Betts, Joliet Job Corps Security/Military Career Preparation Program instructor, works at his desk Monday in Joliet.

Some who enroll in the self-paced program are without a high school diploma or GED and must work toward either goal. Others are military-bound or considering careers in today’s high-demand markets, Larsen said.

Disrespect and tardiness are two things not tolerated at Job Corps, nor with students enrolled in the program’s Security/Military Career Preparation course that began in 2007.

The class is for mili-

“When kids come in, if you sit them down and form a relationship with them, they will learn to respect themselves and to respect those around them. You work with them and they come around. Once a rapport develops, then comes the respect.”

Charles Betts Joliet Job Corps Security/Military Career Preparation instructor tary-bound teens and young adults or those planning a career as a security officer, said instructor Charles Betts, a

retired U.S. Army master sergeant and former Illinois Department of Corrections shift commander.

“When kids come in, if you sit them down and form a relationship with them, they will learn to respect themselves and to respect those around them,” Betts said. “You work with them and they come around. Once a rapport develops, then comes the respect.”

Monday was the first day of class for Micaiah Mondy.

Dressed in khakis and a blue T-shirt, the 23-year-old from Steger practiced marching drills with a dozen other students.

Mondy said he moved around a lot as a child and was home-schooled by his mother alongside five siblings. He joined Joliet Job Corps in October.

“I never finished high school,” he said. “My mother tried to school all of us, and it was hard.”

Mondy said he has a passion for the military and wants to work toward his GED or high school diploma while enrolled.

Megan Lingier of Romeoville is one example of a success story. The 24-year-old graduated as valedictorian from the Job Corps’ pharmacy technician program earlier this year.

Lingier was on hand Monday to tutor current pharmacy tech students. Next year, she will be working her way through a Job Corps advanced training program in Iowa to become a licensed practical nurse.

Her 4-year-old son is the single mother’s main motivation.

“I want to make sure that I’m able to provide for him,” Lingier said. “He calls me super mommy.”

Leaves after handling three of four Hickory Street cases “The biggest problem [as a lawyer] is maintaining a line of communication. Your client has to know you’re there doing what you can, and you need them to provide information to you.”

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After 20 years as a Will County judge, Gerald Kinney’s future plans are ... nothing.

“Hopefully, I’ll enjoy being retired. I’ve been working ever since I was delivering The Herald-News when I was 11 years old,” said Kinney, who stepped down from the bench Friday.

He leaves after presiding over the Hickory Street murder cases, in which two of the defendants have been sentenced to life in prison.

Kinney attended St. Patrick’s Grade School, Joliet West High School and Joliet Junior College. He expected to teach at Southern Illinois University after he received a degree there in history and government, but he was advised to pursue law school. “[Law] was just something I was always interested in. Maybe it’s my Irish-Catholic background,” he said. Kinney put himself through Loyola University in Chicago by returning each evening to sell cars at his uncle Ray Kinney’s Joliet dealership.

Among Kinney’s final trials were those involving the Hickory Street slayings from 2013. He accepted a plea deal from one defendant and found

Gerald Kinney Retired Will County judge

Judge Gerald Kinney has retired from Will County’s 12th Judicial Circuit. two others guilty of murder after separate bench trials. Last week, Kinney assigned the remaining suspect’s case to another judge for trial next year.

“I told the chief judge I’d do the best I could to resolve them all, and it’s still not two years [past],” Kinney said. “I’ve never wanted anyone to sit in jail awaiting trial for a long period of time, whether the outcome is prison or freedom.”

Kinney said he impounded records and kept attorneys and investigators from discussing the case publicly to “limit the sensationalism” around it, and felt his gag order was an effective way to do so. It remains in effect until the final case is resolved, unless the new judge feels differently, he said.

After being admitted to the bar in 1975, Kinney spent nine years with the firm that is now

Spesia and Ayers, and 10 years with Garrison, Fabrizio and Hanson. Kinney mostly handled civil matters in private practice, but the judge believes the greatest challenge in those cases also applies to criminal lawyers.

“The biggest problem is maintaining a line of communication. Your client has to know you’re there doing what you can, and you need them to provide information to you.

It’s an acquired skill. It takes a while to master that,” Kinney said.

Kinney had applied to be an associate judge before he was offered a circuit vacancy in 1994. He served as chief judge from 2009 to 2013 and described his time on the bench

as “a dream job.” “[You have] stature in the community. You get to help people get out of ‘the system’ and make sure people who shouldn’t be in the community are kept away,” he said.

The hardest parts of being a judge were watching people “wreck their lives” by returning to his courtroom over and over on different cases, and sometimes sentencing young people to serious prison time.

“Not for cases of significant violence, but for DUI or reckless homicide where one mistake had serious consequences,” Kinney said.

To balance such cases a judge “has to see the humor in the everyday cases,” he said.

He recalled a memorable hearing where he questioned why a misdemeanor battery charge was going to be raised to a felony.

“The defendant’s attorney had consistently argued prosecutors couldn’t show that his client was present at the scene of the crime or had any connection to the victim,” Kinney said.

“So I did my due diligence and read the complaint. When I read the [felony resulted because] the victim was handicapped, and the defendant told the court, ‘Yeah. She had one arm.’ ”

Stamps murder case arraignment postponed

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – An arraignment for Christopher Stamps has been postponed.

Stamps, 16, was to be arraigned Monday on a murder charge in the shooting death of Latray Wright, also 16.

Assistant Will County Public Defender Amy Christensen said Monday that Stamps’ family plans to hire a private attorney. His arraignment has been postponed to Dec. 8.

Stamps has been charged as

SERVING THE JOLIET AREA SINCE 1981

Richland school investigation details emerge CREST HILL – An investigation ordered by the Richland school board to examine allegations of a hostile work environment also looked into whether the teachers’ union coerced its members into votes of no confidence on the district’s superintendent and principal.

The Richland School District 88a School Board hired Joliet lawyer James Harvey to investigate a formal complaint by Superintendent Michael Early and Principal Kelly Whyte, according to a copy of the complaint shared by the union.

The formal complaint, filed June 27 with the school board president, accused seven union leaders – including President Isabel Velasco and Vice President Steve Camp – of coercing union members into a vote.

The complaint also asked the board to investigate the “validity of the complaints alleged that resulted in the initiation of the vote of no confidence” against Early and Whyte.

It was announced at a June 18 school board meeting that more than three-fourths of tenured teachers had taken a vote of no confidence in

Early’s and Whyte’s abilities to make student-focused administrative decisions. The board was asked to look into a hostile work environment.

In response, the school board issued a vote of full confidence in the administration.

The vote occurred during ongoing negotiations for a new contract. Teachers recently rejected the latest tentative agreement because of language issues.

Investigation results

The board issued a public statement Oct. 15, after the investigation was completed, stating the findings are confidential but “relevant parties are being held accountable.”

School Board President Julie Starasinich told the The Herald-News this month the investigation showed teachers felt there was a hostile work environment but there was no specific evidence those perceptions were true.

“Our goal is to move forward and address the needs and concerns of the teachers and administration,” Starasinich said. “The goal is to resolve and not dismiss the perceptions presented.”

After Harvey’s investigation was complete, the board summarized its results in

a letter sent to Velasco, the union president.

However, Camp, the union vice president, said there was no mention in the letter the work environment at Richland was investigated.

According to the letter sent to The Herald-News by the union, the investigation found the union rights of teachers were respected during the vote process and the process didn’t violate any law or school policy.

Camp said the union filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the full results of Harvey’s investigation.

The district denied the request, citing personnel exemptions, but the union said it has appealed the denial to the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.

“If the board is saying that this was a multi-faceted investigation, the only investigating that was done was into our vote, not workplace issues,” Camp said.

procedure as outlined in board policy.”

It also states the teachers’ points were vague and more about disagreements with administrative decisions than violations of the union contract.

The complaint alleges union leaders were harassing teachers to cast the vote, creating a hostile work environment, and that the vote itself “undermined the authority” of Early and White, thereby disrupting the educational process and resulting in “significant damage to the Richland School District and to us professionally.”

LEMONT – A man was found dead Saturday morning in downtown Lemont after apparently being struck by a

train.

Nicholas Cialoni, 23, of Crest Hill was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:22 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The office said the cause of death was multiple injuries from a train striking a pedestrian, with alcohol intoxication being the secondary cause. The death was ruled an accident.

and accused us of wrongdoing,” Camp said.

Early denied he and Whyte issued the complaint as retaliation, explaining it was done because the union took the extreme step of a vote of no confidence without stating specifics.

Early also said he was approached by teachers concerned about how the vote was conducted.

“The vote was significant feedback that caused us as administration to take a step back and look at how to improve our communication with teachers,” Early said.

“We need to stop villainizing each other and focus on how to move forward from this.”

10 Ballistics, dismissal hearings Tuesday in Joliet murder trial

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A dozen years after he first was accused of killing his live-in girlfriend, a Joliet man will wait one more day to see if murder charges are dismissed a second time.

Eric Glover Sr., 42, appeared in court Monday before Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes. Prosecutors want ballistics evidence admitted from another shooting when Glover Sr. is tried for the slaying of Velma Franklin.

After Glover Sr.’s last court appearance in September, his lawyers filed to have charges dismissed.

Assistant Public Defender Litricia Payne told the judge the motion to dismiss was filed Oct. 10 and prosecutors didn’t file a response until Friday afternoon. The judge decided hearings on the ballistics information and the dismissal motion both will be held Tuesday.

Franklin, 30, was shot to death June 17, 2002, in the

home she shared with Glover Sr. and her four children. Glover Sr. was arrested soon after Franklin’s death but was not brought to trial before charges were dismissed.

A cold case review by the state’s attorney’s office renewed the murder charges against him in 2012, while Glover Sr. was imprisoned on other weapons convictions. He is serving a seven-year sentence on charges of being an armed habitual criminal.

The ballistics evidence involves a .38-caliber bullet Glover Sr. fired into a bedroom wall two months before Franklin was killed, which was destroyed after crime lab testing, according to court records.

Glover Sr. admitted to the earlier shooting while being questioned about Franklin’s death but told police the gun went off accidentally. At a hearing earlier this year, a friend testified Franklin had told her Glover Sr. held a gun to her head during an argument and shot into the wall as a threat.

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A plan for the future development of downtown Joliet is scheduled for a Thursday presentation, with officials seeking input from residents and business owners.

The meeting at 4 p.m. in City Hall is the latest step in the creation of a master plan for downtown development.

The Joliet City Center Partnership invites Joliet residents and business owners to attend.

Camiros Consulting Group, a Chicago-based planning and design firm, is creating the plan.

The group is looking for public involvement in shaping the plan, said Pam Owens, executive director for the Joliet City Center Part-

NEW LENOX – Mayor Tim Baldermann will look for a replacement for Ray Tuminello when he leaves his seat on the New Lenox Village Board.

Whoever replaces Tuminello, who has served on the board since 2005, only will be a temporary trustee, Baldermann said. Village officials want to give residents the chance to vote for a full-term village trustee in the April 2015 election.

Baldermann said he plans to appoint the re- Ray placement and Tuminello will meet with the rest of the board members on his decision.

He declined to name any potential candidates but said it might be someone who represents an underserved part of New Lenox.

“It’s not just going to be a political appointment,” Baldermann said. “It’s going to be someone who brings something to the board that maybe we don’t have representatively.”

Tuminello is set to resign Nov. 24 so there will be an election for his seat, Baldermann said.

He was chosen by Will County Republicans on Friday to replace outgoing County Board member Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, who was elected Nov. 4 to the Illinois

House.

Tuminello sought a county board seat in 2012 but lost in the primary election.

“I think fresh ideas are good for a board, so moving on to the Will County Board after sitting on the New Lenox board will be good,” Tuminello said.

He said he plans to bring his business and municipal experience to the county board. Tuminello has been the owner of Quality Glass Block & Window in Morris for 20 years and has sat on several New Lenox village committees. He’s also a board member of Old Plank Trail Community Bank, which, he said, has made him wellversed on finance.

Baldermann said he was supportive of Tuminello moving on to the Will County Board.

“It’s going to be good to have another representative at the county level who understands municipal issues,” Baldermann said.

Tuminello’s county board district will include New Lenox and Mokena.

He said he has spoken with Mokena Mayor Frank Fleischer to learn more about the village, which is east of New Lenox.

Looking back, one of the highlights of being a New Lenox village trustee was chairing the Land Use Committee, Tuminello said. He was one of many village officials who helped develop the Silver Cross Hospital campus.

Consumers rush to get free TV after Supreme Court ruling U.S. households to get free TV with slick little micro antenna device engineered to pull in all over-the-air TV channels for free as law forces network giants to broadcast all TV signals regionally to all 50 states Free TV: Crystal clear HDTV picture with no cable, no satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills NATIONWIDE - Consumers just got handed a really good reason to get rid of cable and satellite bills.

Everyone fed up with high cable and satellite bills, huge channel bundles and poor customer service are now flocking to get a slick little micro antenna device that lets U.S. households watch broadcast TV legally without paying a cable or satellite company for it and no monthly bills.

So much attention is now being focused on this slick little device since the High Court handed down the big win for consumers.

The landmark decision highlights the public’s ability to get all the top rated national TV network and regional shows broadcast over the air absolutely free.

The only thing consumers need to do to get the slick little micro antenna device is call the Free TV Order Hotline beginning at 8:30am this morning or simply return the Free TV Claim Form printed at the bottom of this page before the 3-day postmark deadline ends.

Everyone who does is getting the slick little $88 device at a real steal because it pulls in crystal-clear digital TV channels for free with no monthly bills.

The target audience for the slick little micro antenna device has been young urban professionals who don’t want to watch more than 20 or 30 live TV channels. But now older folks are snapping up the slick little device because it’s rapidly becoming popular for those on fixed incomes and anyone who just doesn’t want to pay a cable or satellite bill anymore.

“When advanced technology enables consumers to just plug in a simple device to get free TV, consumers are the winners,” said David Martin, Senior Analyst at CompTek, the company that makes the sleek little micro antenna device that works on virtually any TV. “This special advertising feature is being so widely published because there’s never a monthly bill to pay and all the channels you get are absolutely free,” Martin said.

“That’s why the slick little device is not like being tied to a cable or satellite company. The device is engineered to access solely over-the-air signals that include all the top rated national and all broadcast stations, like DISNEY (ABC), COMCAST (NBC), CBS, 21st Century FOX (FOX), PBS, CW and about 90% of the most watched TV shows like America’s Got

n FREE TV WITH NO CABLE BILLS: Thanks to a slick little micro antenna device that plugs into the back of any TV, consumers are getting

free crystal-clear digital channels without cable or satellite. Its like getting a new HDTV for free. That’s why U.S. residents are flooding the Free TV Hotlines and rushing to the Post Office to return the Free TV Claim Form reprinted at the bottom of this page. Consumers in all 50 states who want to get Free TV with no monthly bills just need to call within 72 hours or beat the 3-day postmark deadline. Consumers should begin calling the free TV Hotlines at 1-888-862-3559 Ext.60417 beginning at 8:30am or be sure the Free TV Claim Form is postmarked by midnight 3 days from today’s publication date.

Talent, NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, 60 Minutes, The Bachelorette, Blue Bloods, Dateline, Person of Interest, American Idol, The Voice, Dancing With the Stars, CSI, Two and a Half Men, Sunday Night Football plus news, weather and sports all for free with no monthly bills,” Martin said.

That means consumers who get the slick little device can channel surf through all the nations top favorite TV shows. The number of shows and channels consumers get depends on where

they live. People living in large metropolitan areas can get up to 53 crystal-clear digital channels, while people in outlying areas will get less. That means even consumers in rural areas that pull in NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts will still get hundreds of shows each year to watch for free.

“It’s so simple all you do is just plug it into the back of your TV and place the razor thin micro device on a window or wall, then autoscan does all the rest. It works on virtually any model TV and you

get a stunning HDTV quality picture,” Martin said.

“It just doesn’t make any sense to keep paying for TV when you can get all the top rated network channels and hundreds of shows absolutely free,” he said.

But there is no time to waste, early reports show the free TV Hotlines are extremely busy.

So, if lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered.

WHO WINS IN SUPREME COURT’S LANDMARK DECISION LOSERS:

CONSUMERS

HD

Consumers who get a slick little micro antenna device like the razor thin Clear-Cast® brand will get free TV with no monthly bills.

The courts ruling emboldens the ability for consumers to legally use the slick little device in their own home to get free TV. The simple device is engineered to pull in nothing but free TV channels in crystal-clear digital picture with no cable, satellite or internet connection. That’s why this slick little micro antenna is a real steal at just $88 because it is such a smart alternative for everyone who is sick and tired of paying cable and satellite bills.

Aereo will likely suspend its business since the court’s decision after it developed a way to bootleg major TV network’s content. Aereo charged subscribers $8 to $12 a month to lease a dime size remote antenna located in the company’s facility.

NETWORKS AND TV STATIONS

DEVICE MAKERS

NEWS BRIEFS House fire extinguished quickly in Frankfort

FRANKFORT – Firefighters put out a fire Monday at a Frankfort home in short order.

At 12:49 p.m., the Frankfort Fire Protection District received a call of a fire in a home in the 20000 block of Mallory Drive.

The first firefighter unit was on the scene at 12:54 p.m., and the fire was out by 1:09 p.m., Frankfort Fire Battalion Chief Todd Hamm said.

No one was injured. The family got out of the house before firefighters arrived.

The fire went out quickly, Hamm said.

“It was 10 minutes of good firefighting, and it was done,” he said.

Investigators are examining the causes of the fire, but “it’s not suspicious,” Hamm said.

The fire started in the rear of the home and traveled up into the attic, he said.

Hamm said he did not know the amount of damage to the home.

“They’re going to have a lot of water damage in the attic,” he said.

About 30 firefighters from Frankfort, New Lenox, Manhattan, Peotone and Tinley Park were at the scene.

Gas leak disrupts Minooka subdivision

MINOOKA – A gas leak in the Rivers Edge Landing subdivision Monday afternoon led to a street being partially shut down and students from the

neighborhood being kept late at school because they could not be taken home.

Interim Superintendent of Public Works Ryan Anderson said public works crews at about 2:30 p.m. hit a gas main that was improperly marked by a locating company near 509 Rivers Edge Drive.

“They were digging, and they hit a gas main,” Anderson said, adding that the main was not as deep as was marked. “Everybody is safe.”

Nicor crews were working to shut off the gas flow as of 6:30 p.m.

Anderson said the main likely would be fixed by Monday night. The leak prompted fire and police officials to shut down a block of Rivers Edge Drive.

Minooka students living in the Rivers Edge Landing subdivision were kept at school because of concerns about the gas leak. Parents of more than 75 children in Channahon School District 17 and Minooka High School District 111 were notified by school officials that students living in the subdivision were transported back to their schools.

Stepan still investigating rail car chemical leak

ELWOOD – Stepan Company has not yet traced the cause of last week’s chemical leaks, but most operations are back to normal, a spokeswoman said Monday.

Sulfur trioxide leaked from a rail car early Thursday and

again for most of the day Friday.

Stepan and local authorities said the vapor leak was kept onsite by hosing down the vapors and converting them to liquid that fell to the ground.

Both leaks were from rail cars on-site, and that area of the plant has not been put back into service, Stepan Spokeswoman Kim Kumiega said. The plant is located outside Elwood.

“The plant has returned to normal operations with the exception of the area affected by the incident,” Kumiega said.

Sulfur trioxide is an ingredient used in manufacturing laundry detergent.

Man charged with sexual assault in Bolingbrook BOLINGBROOK – A 54-yearold Woodridge man has been charged with criminal sexual assault in a case involving a 13-year-old.

Bolingbrook police said they arrested Roberto Garcia on Friday without incident at his Woodridge home.

A parent of the female victim advised Bolingbrook police of the incident, which allegedly occurred two years ago, police said.

Garcia, who also was charged with indecent solicitation of a child and sexual exploitation of a child, was released Saturday after posting $75,000 bond, according to the Will County Sheriff’s Office.

After returning to the United States, he graduated from Harvard Law School and was appointed to the Connecticut bench in 1987.

Jack Downey, 34, said his father’s years of imprisonment shaped his life in every possible way. “He could have very justifiably come out of

a Chinese ambush. Both survived, and Fecteau was kept behind bars for 19 years. Their pilots, 31-year-old Robert C. Snoddy of Roseburg, Oregon, and 29-year-old Norman A. Schwartz of Louisville, Kentucky, were killed in the crash.

HARTFORD, Conn. – John T. Downey, a former CIA agent who survived more than 20 years in Chinese prisons during the Cold War before becoming a Connecticut judge, died Monday. He was 84.

Downey was diagnosed with cancer a month ago and died at a hospice facility in Bran-

ford, according to his son, Jack Downey, of Philadelphia.

The elder Downey had graduated from Yale University and joined the Central Intelligence Agency a year before his plane was shot down during a botched cloak-and-dagger flight into China in November 1952. He spent the next 20 years, three months and 14 days in Chinese prisons. He was released in March 1973

Chicago’s first and only female mayor laid to rest

CHICAGO – A hearse carrying the body of Chicago’s first and only female mayor took a circuitous route Monday, driving down iconic avenues and by well-known city landmarks before arriving at a cemetery where she would be laid to rest.

A city of Chicago flag draped Jane Byrne’s coffin earlier in the day at a funeral Mass at a North Side church, where current Mayor Rahm Emanuel was among those paying respects.

Byrne died Friday at age 81.

Standing over her casket, Emanuel said Byrne’s long list of accomplishments as mayor from 1979 to 1983 included bringing in new festivals and becoming the first Chicago mayor to openly embrace the gay community. “Today, every Chicagoan gives thanks to Jane Byrne,” he said. “We are a better city because of her.”

Byrne, a Democrat, overcame former Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley’s powerful political machine in 1979 to register a historic and improbable win.

Her daughter, Kathy Byrne, told those gathered at the service at St. Vincent de Paul Church that her mother never took her good fortune in becoming mayor for granted.

Cupich’s installation as new Chicago archbishop begins

Residents gather for a prayer service Monday at LaHood Park in Washington, with a moment of silence on the one-year anniversary of a tornado touching down in the area.

inside by outgoing Cardinal Francis George and presented with the garment called the archdiocesan stole.

George escorted Cupich to the altar, where he was greeted by civic and ecumenical leaders representing various religions, including Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The process sets into motion a transfer of power in which Cupich succeeds the retiring George as the archbishop of one of the largest archdioceses in the United States. It will be the first time in the archdiocese’s history a new archbishop has assumed leadership while his predecessor is still alive.

State opening up warming centers for frigid weather

SPRINGFIELD – The state of Illinois has opened more than

100 warming centers as temperatures fall.

The Illinois Department of Human Services said Monday that centers are at their offices statewide. They are open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

State officials said Illinois Tollway oases also are available 24 hours a day every day as Chicago-area warming centers.

Gov. Pat Quinn and the state Department on Aging encouraged residents to use the warming centers and check on the elderly.

On Monday morning, temperatures were below freezing in Illinois. It was 19 degrees in Chicago, 22 in Springfield and 26 in Carbondale.

St. Clair County officials want new evidence vault

BELLEVILLE – The St. Clair

County state’s attorney is asking the state Legislature for money to create an evidence locker for the municipalities of Brooklyn, Washington Park, Alorton and East St. Louis to share.

State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly said current lockers have items scattered among trash, are unsecured and have been robbed three times in the past five years. The current state of the lockers jeopardizes prosecutions, allows potentially dangerous suspects to walk free and obstructs justice, he said.

“The integrity of evidence is absolutely fundamental and essential to the justice system,” Kelly said.

Coroner says Illinois State student died from hanging

BLOOMINGTON – The McLean County coroner said an Illinois

State University student found dead in his dorm room died from hanging.

Coroner Seth Reynolds on Monday identified the student as Christopher G. Predmore of Bartonville. However, Reynolds didn’t make a ruling on whether Predmore’s death was a suicide.

The coroner said that won’t be done until after toxicology results are received.

Campus police found Predmore late Saturday afternoon in his room at the campus’ Haynie Hall. Family members had requested a check on his well-being. An autopsy was done Monday morning.

Authorities said there was no sign of foul play. Predmore’s age was not released. ISU police and the coroner’s office continued to investigate the death.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Why airfare keeps rising despite lower oil prices

NEW YORK – U.S. airlines are saving tens of millions of dollars every week because of lower prices for jet fuel, their largest expense. So why don’t they share some of the savings with passengers?

Simply put: Airlines have no compelling reason to offer any breaks. Planes are full. Investors want a payout. And new planes are on order. In fact, fares are going higher. And those bag fees that airlines instituted in 2008 when fuel prices spiked aren’t going away either.

In the 12 months ended in September, U.S. airlines saved $1.6 billion on jet fuel. That helped them post a 5.7 percent profit margin in the first three quarters of this year, robust for the industry but lagging behind the 10 percent average for the Standard & Poor’s 500.

Man who died from Ebola endured treatment delays

OMAHA, Neb. – A surgeon who contracted Ebola in his native Sierra Leone did not receive aggressive treatment until nearly two weeks after he first started showing symptoms – a delay that doctors said probably made it impossible for anyone to save his life.

Dr. Martin Salia was in the 13th day of his illness Saturday when he reached Omaha. He had waited three days to be formally diagnosed after an initial test for Ebola came back negative. He

then waited five more days to be flown to the United States.

By the time the 44-year-old Maryland man got to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, the deadly virus had done too much damage, shutting down Salia’s kidneys and making breathing difficult, doctors said. He died Monday.

Pope confirms Philly trip for families conference

PHILADELPHIA – Organizers of the World Meeting of Families for months were coy when asked if Pope Francis would come to Philadelphia for the massive Roman Catholic-sponsored gathering.

It turns out that when the pontiff finally confirmed his attendance Monday, organizers already had gotten inside information from an unimpeachable source: Francis told Gov. Tom Corbett during a Vatican meeting in March that he would make the journey, his first papal visit to the United States.

Protocol kept them from saying anything publicly until now, she said at a news conference hours after the pope’s statement.

Still, the timing of Francis’ announcement – made during an interreligious Vatican conference on traditional family values – came as a bit of a surprise and set cellphones abuzz in Philadelphia around 2:30 a.m. Organizers had not expected official word until later next year.

Illinois state Sen. Mike Frerichs, the Democratic candidate for Illinois treasurer, greets commuters Nov. 3 during a campaign stop at the 95th street Red Line stop in Chicago. The contest between Republican Tom Cross and Frerichs has tightened as officials count mail-in and provisional ballots.

Illinois treasurer’s race close; Kirk seeks probe

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – The race for state treasurer remains undecided nearly two weeks after Election Day, with both campaigns agreeing less than 400 votes now separate the candidates in what could be the closest statewide race in Illinois in at least a century.

The remarkably slim margin seems to point to a recount under an untested law put in place after the previously close-contest champ, the 1982 battle for governor. The match is rife with charges of “voting irregularities and ballot mishandling” in Chicago, prompting Illinois’ Republican U.S. senator call for an investigation Monday.

Election officials have until Tuesday to finish counting ballots from the Nov. 4 election, including in the treasurer’s race between Republican Tom Cross and Democrat Mike Frerichs. Neither side was talking about recounts

Monday, saying they’re waiting for all the votes to be counted.

“Everyone knew that this was going to be a very close election.

Mike’s been coming from behind the whole time,” said Frerichs’ spokesman, Dave Clarkin.

Tom Cross “Now, we’re all just doing whatever we can to monitor everything closely.”

More than 3.4 million votes were cast, but tens of thousands of ballots hadn’t been counted by Election Day because they were mailed in or cast on a provisional basis, meaning they needed to be checked to make sure voters were eligible.

Local election officials will report their final results to the Illinois State Board of Elections, which will meet Nov. 30 to certify election results.

1) 1982 – Two-term GOP Gov. James Thompson defeats former U.S. Sen. Adlai Stevenson III by 5,074 votes, or 0.14 percentage points.

2) 1952 – Secretary of State: Republican Charles Carpentier defeats Edward Barrett by 9,303 votes, or 0.212 percentage points.

3) 1954 – Treasurer: Republican Warren Wright defeats Democrat David Mallett by 8,941 votes, or 0.273 percentage points.

Missouri governor activates National Guard

By DAVID A. LIEB The Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency Monday and activated the National Guard ahead of a grand jury decision about whether a white police officer will be charged in the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.

Nixon said the National Guard would assist state and local police in case the grand jury’s decision leads to a resurgence of the civil unrest that occurred in the days immediately after the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.

“My hope and expectation is that peace will prevail,” Nixon said. “But we have a responsibility – I have a responsibility – to plan for any contingencies that might arise.”

There is no specific date for a grand jury decision to be

revealed, and Nixon gave no indication that an announcement is imminent. But St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch has said that he expects the grand jury to reach a decision in mid-to-late November.

The U.S. Justice Department, which is conducting a separate investigation, has not said when its work will be completed.

Before the shooting, Wilson spotted Brown and a friend walking in the middle of a street and told them to stop, but they did not. According to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch report based on sources the newspaper did not identify, Wilson has told authorities he then realized Brown matched the description of a suspect in a theft minutes earlier at a convenience store. Wilson backed up his police vehicle and some sort of confrontation occurred before Brown was fatally shot. He was unarmed and some witnesses have said

Removal of barricades begins at protest site in Hong Kong

By KELVIN CHAN The Associated Press HONG KONG – Workers in Hong Kong on Tuesday started clearing away barricades at one site of the student protest that has rocked the city for the past two months.

The removal comes after a Hong Kong court granted a restraining order against the protesters last week requiring them to clear the area in front of a tower in the central part of Hong Kong, as well a separate order against a second protest site Mong Kok brought by taxi and minibus operators.

The workers could be seen cutting plastic ties holding the barricades together. Students, who have been protesting for greater democracy in the former British colony, did not resist. Some protesters had already moved their tents to other parts of the protest zone ahead of the clearance operation.

The protesters oppose Beijing’s decision that a panel will screen candidates for

the inaugural 2017 election for Hong Kong’s top official.

Chinese authorities have declared the gatherings illegal.

It is not known what the students, who occupy several sites around Hong Kong, plan to do next.

On Saturday, three students who have led protests for greater democracy in the former British colony were turned back in their attempt to go to Beijing to meet with top Chinese officials.

Alex Chow, Nathan Law and Eason Chung – members of a student group that played a main role in organizing massive street protests that started nearly two months ago were denied boarding passes for a Cathay Pacific flight when they were told their documents that would allow them to travel to Beijing were invalid.

In a news conference hours later, the student leaders said annulling their travel documents is an unreasonable move that deprives them of their rights to enter the country’s territory.

A woman looks at a memorial Monday in the middle of a Ferguson, Mo., street, more than three months after black teen Michael Brown was shot and killed there by a white policeman. he had his hands up when he was killed.

Brown’s shooting stirred long-simmering racial tensions in the St. Louis suburb, where two-thirds of the residents are black but the police force is almost entirely white.

Rioting and looting a day after the shooting led police to respond to subsequent protests with a heavily armored pres-

ence that was widely criticized for continuing to escalate tensions. At times, protesters lobbed rocks and Molotov cocktails at police, who fired tear gas, smoke canisters and rubber bullets in an attempt to disperse crowds.

Nixon also declared a state of emergency in August and put the Missouri State Highway Patrol in charge of a uni-

fied local police command.

Eventually, Nixon activated the National Guard to provide security around the command center.

This time, Nixon said the St. Louis County Police Department would be in charge of a security in Ferguson and would work with the Highway Patrol and St. Louis city police as part of a unified command to “protect civil rights and ensure public safety” in other jurisdictions.

The governor did not indicate how many National Guard troops would be mobilized, instead leaving it to the state adjutant general to determine. Nixon said the National Guard would be available to carry out any requests made through the Highway Patrol to “protect life and property” and support local authorities.

If the Guard is able to provide security at police and fire stations, then more police officers may be freed up to patrol the community, Nixon said.

Huge solar plant is lagging in early production of energy

By MICHAEL R. BLOOD The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – The largest solar power plant of its type in the world – once promoted as a turning point in green energy – isn’t producing as much energy as planned.

One of the reasons is as basic as it gets: The sun isn’t shining as much as expected.

Sprawling across about five square miles of federal desert near the California-Nevada border, the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System opened in February, with operators saying it would produce enough electricity to power a city of 140,000 homes.

So far, however, the plant is producing about half of its expected annual output for 2014, according to calculations by the California Energy Commission.

It had been projected to produce its full capacity for eight hours a day, on average.

“Factors such as clouds, jet contrails and weather have had a greater impact on the plant than the owners anticipated,” the agency said in a statement.

It could take until 2018 for the plant backed by $1.6 billion in federal loan guarantees to hit its annual peak target, said NRG Energy Inc., which operates the plant and co-owns it with Google Inc. and BrightSource Energy.

“During startup we have experienced ... equipment challenges, typical with any new technology, combined with irregular weather patterns,” NRG spokesman Jeff Holland said in a statement. “We are confident that Ivanpah’s long-term generation projections will meet expectations.”

The technology used at Ivanpah is different from the familiar photovoltaic panels commonly used for rooftop solar installations. The plant’s solar-thermal system – some-

times called concentrated-solar thermal – relies on nearly 350,000 computer-controlled mirrors at the site, each the size of a garage door.

The mirrors reflect sunlight to boilers atop 459-foot towers – each taller than the Statue of Liberty. The resulting steam drives turbines to create electricity.

When the $2.2 billion complex opened, Energy Department Secretary Ernest Moniz called it a “symbol of the exciting progress” in renewable energy.

While the agency still says the project remains in good standing, Kaitlin Meese, an analyst at research firm Bentek Energy, said its early production figures “do not paint a strong picture for solar-thermal technology development.”

The operation of such plants is highly dependent on weather conditions, and predicting when and how strongly the sun will shine is not a perfect science.

‘Red warning lights’ flashing for global economy

This undated photo provided by the Kassig family shows Peter Kassig delivering supplies for Syrian refugees. A new graphic video purportedly produced by Islamic State militants in Syria released Sunday shows that U.S. aid worker Kassig was beheaded.

Europeans have prominent role in Kassig beheading video

By LORI HINNANT The Associated Press PARIS – The cold-eyed militants lined up behind their victims in the latest Islamic State video appear to come from outside the Middle East, including one from France and possibly two from Britain, as the extremist group tries to show a global reach.

The grisly video – clearly aimed at a Western audience – lingers as much on the faces of the camouflaged extremists as the men who are beheaded.

The victims include American aid worker Peter Kassig and more than a dozen Syrian soldiers.

The images of the Islamic State militants, who are shown one by one in close-up, allowed authorities to identify one of them Monday as a 22-year-old Frenchman who converted to radical Islam.

Maxime Hauchard has been on the radar of French authorities since 2011 when he took two trips to Mauritania to attend a Quranic school, said Paris prosecutor Francois Molins. The prosecutor said investigators were trying to determine if another Frenchman also is in the video.

This still image taken from an undated video published on the Internet by the Islamic State group militants and made available Sunday shows a militant that the French government say is Frenchman Maxime Hauchard. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said there is a “strong presumption” that Hauchard is among the group of Islamic extremist fighters in the video released over the weekend. confirmed Kassig’s slaying after a U.S. review of the video.

The overwhelming majority of Islamic State fighters are from the Mideast, but the extremist group is trying to cement its claim on an Islamic empire straddling Iraq and Syria. Europe appears to be a fertile ground to find supporters, with officials saying thousands of young Europeans have headed off to jihad. More than 1,000 people in France alone are under surveillance

for suspected plans to join the militants, officials said.

“It’s quite transparent that IS is trying to exaggerate its base of support,” said Charlie Winter, a researcher at the Quilliam Foundation in London. “They are trying to show that Muslims from all over the world are protecting their Syrian brethren and their Iraqi brethren.”

European officials are trying just as furiously to counter that message.

BERLIN – A burst of sunshine in the spring could be just the wake-up call for Europe’s comet lander.

Scientists raised hopes Monday that as the Philae lander nears the sun its solar panel-powered battery will recharge, and the first spacecraft to touch down on a comet will send a second round of scientific data back to Earth.

Since landing with a bounce on the comet Wednesday, Philae has already sent back reams of data that scientists are eagerly examining. But there were fears its mission would be cut short because it came to rest in the shadow of a cliff. Its signal went silent Saturday after its primary battery ran out.

Shortly before that happened, the European Space Agency decided to attempt to tilt the lander’s biggest solar panel toward the sun – a lastditch maneuver that scientists believe may have paid off.

“We are very confident at some stage it will wake up again and we can achieve contact,” Stephan Ulamec, the lander manager, told The Associated Press.

That should happen next spring, when Philae and the comet it’s riding on – called 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko – get closer to the sun, warming up a secondary battery on board and bringing it out of its unplanned hibernation. A few days of sunshine on the solar panels should be enough to charge the battery sufficiently to resume collecting scientific data, Ulamec said.

Philae’s position in the shadows may even prove to be a blessing in disguise. Shielded from the sun’s rays, the lander could survive for longer as the comet approaches its closest point to the sun in August.

Before they can say for certain if they’ll be able to restore contact with Philae, scientists first need to find out where on the 2.5-mile-wide comet the washing machine-sized lander is, he added.

LONDON – The global economy’s problems seem to be multiplying.

Hours after the leaders of the world’s 20 most developed economies sought to boost confidence by promising to increase global output by $2 trillion over five years, Japan said it had fallen into recession.

That leaves the country – the world’s third-largest economy – on a long and growing list of troubled economies. China is slowing as well, and Europe can’t seem to take off.

Among major economies, only the United States and Britain are growing at decent rates, and how long that lasts depends on how much trouble their trading partners are in.

British Prime Minister David Cameron warned in an opinion piece in the Guardian newspaper on Monday that the “red warning lights are flashing” for the world economy.

Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had pledged to end two decades of stagnation with a strategy dubbed “Abenomics” that included big economic reforms and stimulus. But the economy contracted at an annual pace of 1.6 percent in the third quarter after housing and business investment dropped following a sales tax increase.

The contraction came despite predictions the economy would rebound from a drop in the previous three months.

Consumer spending is faltering as the population shrinks and grows older. Household incomes peaked more than a decade ago, and workers are increasingly having trouble making ends meet with part-time or contract work.

Manufacturers, meanwhile, have lost their leading edge in innovation while shifting production to cheaper locations offshore.

Japan’s weakness could hinder growth elsewhere if its companies cut investment and buy fewer imports such as machinery, electronics and raw materials. The island nation is one of the world’s biggest importers of food and the third-biggest buyer of natural gas.

OPINION

Rauner, Madigan can form working relationship December, Bruce Rauner appeared on a WLS Radio talk show program and revealed that he planned to form a new campaign committee to counter the power of Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.

“We’re gonna raise a PAC, we’re gonna raise a fund dedicated to the state Legislature, members of both parties who take the tough votes,” governor-elect Rauner said. “We’ve gotta protect the members who take tough votes.”

“Right now,” Rauner continued, “Madigan controls the Legislature from his little pot of cash. It isn’t that much money. And he runs the whole state government out of that pot. We need a pro-business, pro-growth, pro-limited government, pro-tax reduction PAC down there in Springfield working with the Legislature for those who take tough votes.”

Word is that Rauner’s new legislative PAC will be launched relatively soon – perhaps after the governor-elect’s transition committee has finished its job.

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich tried the same thing with his Move Illinois Forward PAC several years ago. As I pointed out on my blog when Rauner revealed his plans, Blagojevich’s PAC didn’t work out all that well, partly because Blagojevich was relying on a Democratic donor base which didn’t want to step too hard on Madigan’s toes.

Rauner, of course, won’t have that problem. And he also has plenty of his own cash. But how “little” is Madigan’s “pot of cash”? Well, the House Republicans believe that when it’s all said and done, Madigan and his candidates will have spent $10 million.

An election day tally showed that Madigan had raised $5.7 million during the cycle, but add in the money raised by his

VIEWS

ANOTHER VIEW

Putting out welcome mat for new Illinois governor Welcome to Springfield, governor-elect Bruce Rauner.

Illinois voters took a gamble on you, choosing you to be the state’s 42nd governor and the first Republican to hold the office since George Ryan departed in 2003.

Your victory was far from a landslide; you won with slightly more than 50 percent of the vote.

That suggests Illinoisans aren’t completely sold on you.

But your message of “take back Illinois” resonated with enough residents who are hungry for a new direction in a state plagued by financial problems and one-party rule at the Statehouse.

Voters gambled by placing their bets on a rookie, an “outsider,” someone different, after a difficult, intensely negative campaign. Now it’s time for you to begin the important task of bringing people together to move Illinois forward.

You are the least-experienced candidate to be elected to statewide office [last] week, and, for now at least, you have limited insight into the workings of state government.

That’s not to say you can’t learn or get things done. But you must get educated about the amount of time and effort it’s going to take to accomplish the items on your ambitious

agenda.

You’ve said you want to address Illinois’ pension crisis; get the state operating in the black; reform the tax code and close corporate tax loopholes; reform Central Management Services; reform workers’ compensation laws; devote more money and attention to education; invest in infrastructure, agriculture and natural resources; personally lure companies to Illinois; work the floor of the Legislature; sit in on legislative committee hearings and more.

It’s simply unrealistic.

Quickly prioritize what you most wish to accomplish – pension reform and getting the state’s budget in order should be at the top of the list – and focus on those things. That’s what voters want most from you.

And once you decide what it is you wish to accomplish first, let the voters and taxpayers in on what it will take to carry out those plans. No more platitudes, and no more I’lltalk-about-it-later brush-offs.

Illinoisans are equal partners in this endeavor, and they deserve to understand exactly what you want to do and how you intend to do it. Taxpayers deserve accountability.

JOLIET CATHOLIC GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

JCA makes mark with 2nd-place finish

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante, Will County Executive Larry Walsh and the Joliet Catholic community gathered Monday to celebrate JCA volleyball’s second-place finish in Class 3A at Redbird Arena this weekend.

Joliet Catholic played in the state tournament for the seventh time in 12 years (three state titles, two second-place finishes). Accomplishing the feat is great for the program, but it also benefits the school, community and future area volleyball players.

“I remember at Redbird Arena, we were warming up and I looked into the stands and there was this group of young girls sitting there,” Megan Rogers said. “I thought, this is going to be them in a couple of years.”

Those girls, watching in awe as JCA played its heart out, were at one point this season’s nine senior Angels.

Mallory Krzysciak and Nicole Witmer remember sitting at the very top of the bleachers, looking down and thinking about stepping on the court to play as a varsity player.

To the seniors, the teams from 2003 through 2010 made volleyball look easy. They realized once they were in the program how hard it would be to set a good example, but they were willing to work.

“Watching my sisters when I was little, I just thought that you go to JCA to play volleyball and make it to state,” Mary Murphy said. “After being in the program, I realized how hard they had to work to do it. They were blessed on being on such talented teams and we were a team that had to work so hard for everything that we were given. We earned every single thing and I think that’s is what being an Angel is all about. Working hard for what you really want to accomplish.”

The seniors know they are role models for the younger athletes, as Angels have been before them.

To them, this season sends a valuable lesson to future JCA

teams.

“Never give up,” Brenna Garland said. “If you have a dream, go for it. Shoot for the highest possible outcome of that goal just like we did.”

Murphy told the crowd the Angels were special by making the impossible possible.

After a rocky 9-11 start, they turned their season around by going 15-5 in the remainder of the season. Madeline Grimm said the girls pushed harder

toward the end of the season because they realized it was their last chance to make it to state.

Advancing to state did not shock the Angels, but it did surprise many they battled for the state title against St. Francis, losing, 25-18, 25-23.

“We were the definition of an underdog story,” Maddie Naal said. “No team in 3A has ever made it to the finals with more than eight losses, and

halfway into our season, we had more than that. No one would expect us to make it down, and the fact that we put ourselves together and worked hard for it shows that we are passionate.”

After being seeded second in regionals, JCA (25-17) defied expectations and beat Lincoln-Way West, Providence, Champaign Central, Bloomington Central Catholic and Sterling to advance to state.

The Angels beat school rival Montini, 22-25, 25-19, 25-19, in the semifinals.

“We all worked so hard to

get to where we wanted,” Ysamar Lozano said. “Ever since day one in summer camp and even before, we had a dream of going to state and to have it come true is magnificent.”

All dreams come to an end, however. The seniors – Rogers, Krzysciak, Lozano, Garland, Witmer, Grimm, Murphy, Naal and Keegan Fornoff – who dreamt of being Angels played their last game.

“You get here freshman year of summer camp and you think that it’s going to take forever,” Fornoff said. “But then it’s your last day at Redbird or your last day practicing in the gym. You realize that the last four years have gone.”

What does Fornoff recommend to the future Angels?

“Enjoy your whole experience playing volleyball here because it goes by too fast,” she said.

“It’s what I’ve worked for my whole life, really, and I couldn’t be more happy with my choice. I feel lucky to still be able to play. There’s a lot of people who’ve helped me along the way.”

“Coach (Tim) Trendel is really good with individual player development and I’ve been working with him ever since my sophomore year trying to develop my game. I’m really blessed to have this opportunity to play for them.

I’m really excited.”

Jurges wanted to remain close to home and found Lewis to be the perfect fit.

“I wanted to go to a school where my parents and family could see me play,” Jurges said. “And Lewis is a great school and great program. I loved the coaches there and that was a big part of my decision and when I went there the girls on the team made it feel like family.

“I’ve been blessed with amazing coaches, and they’ve all helped me along the way.

We play in a competitive conference at Providence, and playing AAU and travel, I think, has really helped me prepare for the next level.”

Like Brody, Howat is pleased to be able to continue his basketball career at the next level, competing at the campus in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

“This is very exciting,” Howat said. “It’s what I’ve worked for my whole life, really, and I couldn’t be more happy with my choice. I feel

lucky to still be able to play.

There’s a lot of people who’ve helped me along the way.

“Providence has prepared me tremendously to play at the next level, and for the academics, so I couldn’t be happier with the education and the athletic experience that Providence has given me.”

Bartos not only liked the chance to play at the school in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, but also will be able to pursue his educational interests there.

“It’s a great honor,” Bartos said. “Marian is a smaller school, just like Providence.

I recently went on an overnight and the kids just took me in like I was part of the team already.

“The CCL Blue is a pretty hard league so you get the full effects so I think that it prepared me pretty well for college. I’ve been playing baseball since I was a little kid so this is a dream come true. I get to study environmental science so I get to do the best of both worlds, basically.”

NEW LENOX – Just because an athlete is talented enough to play at the college level doesn’t assure them of getting that opportunity.

That’s why it was good to see the appreciation shown by the five student-athletes who took part in last week’s college signings at Providence Catholic.

All realized they are fortunate to get this chance and are appreciative of the support that they have received in order to reach this point.

Three signed letters of intent while two others announced their college decisions.

Morgan Greenwood will play softball at DePaul University, and Alyssa Jurges will continue her basketball career at Lewis University.

Jack Brody will play basketball at the University of Indianapolis and teammate Troy Howat will do the same at Carroll University, while Damon Bartos plans to continue his baseball career at Marian University.

Greenwood has long looked forward to playing in college and DePaul was an ideal setting.

“I’m so excited,” Greenwood said. “When I was younger, my dream was to play at the collegiate level and I’m finally here, so it’s great.

I always said that I wanted to go to a school in a city and I love the coaching staff there so it feels like it could be a second home for me.

“Now, I can just play for fun and do the best that I can and not worry about trying to impress different coaches from everywhere. I feel so blessed. God has blessed me with these wonderful talents and I’m just happy that I can keep using them as long as I can.”

Brody not only is excited about joining a fine program but also with his academic future.

“I liked the coaching staff and all of their players since they really welcomed me,” Brody said. “They also have a great program, and they’re

An attempt to break downs semifinals And then there were four.

Three of the seven Joliet area quarterfinalists were ousted last weekend from the state football playoffs. However, Providence survived in Class 7A, Lemont in 6A, Coal City in 4A and Wilmington in 3A. Now comes the round that most believe carries more pressure than any other.

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Marc Trestman often talks about playing “complementary” football, with all three phases working together. It wasn’t that smooth Sunday, but it was enough to get the Bears their first home win of the season.

Mel Tucker’s defense had a plan to limit Teddy Bridgewater and it worked well, with the Vikings throwing for 147 yards, the lowest total the Bears have allowed through the air since playing Dallas last season.

Complementing that pass defense was the Bears’ ability to stop the run, something that can be considered a marked improvement from 2013.

“No. 1, it helped us [defend the pass] to stop the run,” Marc Trestman said Monday at Halas Hall. “We were able to do a little bit of what we wanted to do, force Bridgewater to throw from the pocket, which we did. We were able to get a good rush, consistent

rush, we had a level rush, eliminated his ability to scramble and keep him in the pocket.”

The Bears held the Vikings to 2 for 11 on third down. Bridgewater completed 8 of 11 passes on third down, but only two of those completions went for firsts, a credit to the Bears’ open-field tackling.

“Just keeping mindful of where the sticks were. Longer yardage certainly helps,” Trestman said of the stops. “They did a good job of getting to the football after reading Bridgewater. He got it out, then we collected to the ball, we got a net around the football, which is good.”

Same old thing, but it worked:

Brandon Marshall emphasized that the Bears didn’t do much different in their preparation or game plan in finally getting their two big receivers going down the field.

“We just had some shots and the ball just fell our way, and that’s it,” he said. “Same coverage that we’ve been seeing all year. Same plays that we’ve been running. We

just made plays.”

No Twitter talk: Marshall refused to address last week’s drama, ignited when he challenged a Lions fan on Twitter to a fight.

Marc Trestman also would not say if any discipline was handed out to Marshall, but he maintained it was not a distraction.

“I didn’t have any sense or anything other than Brandon working hard in practice,” he said. “I think that very evidently carried over into the game.”

Bucs Week begins: Trestman made a point of saying the Bears had quickly moved on to preparing for Lovie Smith, Josh McCown and the Buccaneers. He certainly understands the outside attention the game will get, and was asked about what he would tell a team that has some familiarity with an opposing coach.

“I think we’re going to talk to our team truthfully about every aspect of this game and making sure that we go in with our eyes wide open whatever that might be.”

NHRA

Enders-Stevens wins Pro Stock world title The ASSOCIATED PRESS POMONA, Calif. – Erica Enders-Stevens won the Auto Club NHRA Finals on Sunday to become the first woman to earn the Pro Stock world championship title.

Enders-Stevens raced to her sixth victory of the season when her closest points rival Jason Line fouled at the start of the winner-take-all final round at Auto Club Raceway. She is the third woman to win an NHRA world championship, joining threetime Top Fuel champion Shirley Muldowney and three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle champ Angelle Sampey.

“To join two of my heroes, Shirley Muldowney and Angelle Sampey, who are both my friends now, as NHRA world champions, is simply unreal,” Enders-Stevens said. “The words of advice I’ve received from those two women means so much to me.”

Enders-Stevens led the points standings for most of the season, overcoming a slow start by rallying in the last four playoff races to get two semifinal finishes in St. Louis and Reading, and closing

“I was a little kid with a big dream,” Enders-Stevens said. “I started racing junior dragsters and then moved into sportsman racing and moved on up the ranks to the pro level and now 10 years later, here I am in Pro Stock. It’s an awesome feeling, and I feel so

blessed.”

In other races, Matt Hagan claimed the Funny Car world championship over John Force and also won the season-ending race, while Andrew Hines took the Pro Stock Motorcycle championship with a victory in the first round. Morgan Lucas won in Top Fuel and Hector Arana Jr. took the win in Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Hagan earned his second world championship in Funny Car when he beat Tommy Johnson Jr. in the semifinal round.

He then got his fourth victory of the season – and 14th of his career – by beating Force in the final round.

Lucas took his second Top Fuel victory of the season, and 11th of his career, by registering two of the three fastest runs in category history to hold off newly-crowned Top Fuel champion Tony Schumacher in the finals. Schumacher earned a record eighth Top Fuel title in qualifying on Saturday.

AN IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY Presence Cancer Care in Joliet to offer new clinical trial

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent

J

OLIET – When a new medication is produced by a pharmaceutical company, physicians must evaluate the drug in a series of clinical trials to determine if it works, if it is safe and what dose does the most good with the least side effects.

These clinical research trials are usually done at major university hospital centers, but for the past few years, a cancer center in Joliet also has been approved for the studies.

Since 2006, Presence Cancer Care in Joliet has screened 768 patients who met trial criteria – enrolling 668 of them in clinical treatment trials – and is conducting 30 trials for various cancer treatments.

And now, Presence Cancer Care is the first medical center in the world to begin a study of a new chemotherapy drug for a type of large B-cell, nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. Other centers across the United States and in Europe eventually will participate in the trial, as well.

Kulamani Sivarajan, medical oncologist and director of research at Presence Cancer Care, said it is unusual for a hospital not connected with a large university medical center to be given such an important responsibility.

“That’s what’s so special about this,” Sivarajan said. “The pharmaceutical companies feel comfortable because we have done so many in the past. ... This is a lot of commitment for doctors and for patients, and we have shown that we do it well.”

At Presence Cancer Care (formerly Joliet Oncology-Hematology Associates), Sivarajan said the team consists of a research manager, three certified clinical research coordinators, a regulatory specialist, three data managers and physicians and other health care specialists.

The team seeks patients to participate in this new trial. Its purpose is to evaluate the drug polatuzumab-vedotin in combination with other, more standard chemotherapy drugs

Kulamani Sivarajan, medical oncologist and director of research at Presence Cancer Care. used to treat patients with relapsed or refractory follicular or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Sivarajan said these are patients with a type of nonHodgkin’s lymphoma who have failed conventional

therapy.

One patient already has begun the trial. The 64-year-old woman has undergone traditional therapy with results that were not as good as hoped. She will receive the new drug

for six months, Sivarajan said.

Sivarajan said he hopes she has good results. However, he has seen good results in the past, and seen new medications that have not lived up to hopes.

One of the most impressive was a recent trial at the center that used the chemotherapy drug Kadcyla-TDM-1 for metastatic breast cancer. The drug proved effective, Sivarajan said, and is now a standard part of the chemo regime for certain patients. It was a breakthrough drug that used monoclonal antibodies to specifically target cancer cells, sparing normal tissue, he said.

The new trial drug for lymphoma is also a monoclonal antibody, Sivarajan said, made in the laboratory against a particular antigen. NonHodgkin’s lymphoma is a particularly vicious cancer, Sivarajan said, and is usually not curable like Hodgkin’s lymphomas are. It’s most often detected at a more advanced stage in older patients.

According to the National Cancer Institute, 70,800 new cases of nonHodgkin’s lymphoma will be diagnosed in the United States in 2014.

An estimated 18,990 deaths will result.

This trial is a Phase 1 study, which Sivarajan said is truly experimental. It is the first time patients have received the drug.

His team will analyze its effects for safety, appropriate dosage and anti-tumor activity.

Other trials at the center may take place in Phase 2, which is conducted after a drug does well in the first phase and involves a larger group of patients, or Phase 3, in which even more information is collected.

Sivarajan is happy to offer the trial in the Joliet community.

“We found that 20 to 30 percent of patients from Joliet were going to Chicago hospitals,” Sivarajan said. “I thought that was not necessary and that they should be able to stay here.”

For information on clinical trials at Presence Cancer Care, call 815-7251355.

“That’s what’s so special about this. The pharmaceutical companies feel comfortable because we have done so many in the past. ... This is a lot of commitment for doctors and for patients, and we have shown that we do it well.”

Chapter 11, “Failing to Count,” is a primary factor that separates good players from bad. In this example deal, South is in two spades. West leads the heart ace, then shifts to the diamond six. How should South proceed?

In the auction, South’s decision to compete with two spades on a soft 4-3-3-3 hand with only a queen and three jacks (no aces or kings) was highly debatable.

In normal circumstances, South would play dummy’s low diamond, hoping West had just led from the king. But here the bidding makes that impossible. West passed over his partner’s opening bid, but has already produced the heart ace; he cannot also have the diamond king.

South should rise with dummy’s ace, conveniently dropping East’s king. Then declarer can draw trumps and lead clubs twice through East (who must also have the top honors in that suit) to restrict his losers to three hearts and two clubs.

Unexpectedly, in a worthwhile book, the author fails to point out that if West continues hearts at trick two, East can win with his queen and cash the king, on which West can discard a club. Then three rounds of clubs, the last ruffed by West, defeat the contract.

Surely East would have encouraged a heart continuation by signaling with his heart nine at trick one.

Dear Doctor K: My mother was diagnosed with cancer and will soon begin chemotherapy. I’d like to understand how chemotherapy is given, and how it fights cancer.

Dear Reader: Chemotherapy uses drugs that kill cancerous cells, but only injure healthy cells. To understand chemotherapy, you need to understand what cancer is and what is different about cancer cells.

Our body contains 13 trillion cells. They all started from one cell, a cell that kept dividing. One cell became two, two became four, and so on. But the cells kept dividing in a carefully controlled manner. Early in our lives (even before we were born), they had to keep dividing so that we would grow larger. After we are fully formed adults, some cells need to divide to replace dying old cells with younger ones.

In contrast, cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Chemotherapy (anti-cancer) drugs kill cancer cells or prevent them from growing and dividing.

The drugs reach almost all parts of the body. This helps to kill cancer cells that have spread from the original site of the cancer.

Chemotherapy is the core treatment for some cancers. For other cancers, it is part of a larger strategy along with radiation and/ or surgery. Chemotherapy often requires a combination of two or more different anti-cancer drugs. Cancer specialists (oncologists) design chemotherapy plans based on the cancer being treated and how far the cancer has spread.

Cancer chemotherapy may be designed to: • cure the cancer; • prevent the cancer from recurring after surgery; • prevent the cancer from spreading to other organs; • decrease the size of a tumor to make surgery easier; • shrink the size of incurable cancer to help relieve

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff symptoms.

Chemotherapy drugs can be given in a hospital, clinic, doctor’s office or at home. For most people, a bag filled with the liquid drug is attached to a tube that is inserted into a vein.

The drug slowly drips into the patient’s body. Sometimes the patient is able to swallow a pill instead, or get chemotherapy through an injection. People can receive chemotherapy daily, weekly or monthly.

Unfortunately, in addition to attacking cancer cells, chemotherapy drugs also injure normal, healthy cells. This can cause many side effects.

Many anti-cancer drugs, for example, affect the production of blood cells. This includes red blood cells that carry oxygen and platelets that help blood clot. Chemotherapy also inhibits the production of white blood cells that fight infection.

That’s why a common side effect of chemotherapy is increased susceptibility to serious infections.

Other common side effects include fatigue, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, hair loss and rashes. On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put an illustration showing where in the body chemotherapy side effects most often occur. Your mother’s doctor can help manage many of these side effects.

In recent years, medical scientists have developed new treatments. Some target the chemical changes in cancerous cells that cause them to grow uncontrollably. Others harness the body’s immune system to attack cancerous cells. For certain types of cancers, these new approaches appear more effective, and less toxic, than chemotherapy.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Abby, isn’t it in poor taste to publicly show your child’s report card? My son used to get straight A’s before his depression, and I would have never posted his grades. Now I am becoming resentful of friends whose kids are doing well.

What advice can you give me besides not opening up my social media account again? – Bad Feelings Dear Bad Feelings: I hope you realize that what this friend is doing is the same as parents who plaster bumper stickers on their vehicles that read “MY CHILD IS AN HONOR STUDENT.” If this woman’s posts upset you because of the challenges your son is dealing with, customize your social media feed to omit posts from her. That way you won’t have to cut yourself off from social media entirely.

Dear Abby: Have you ever – out of the blue – thought of someone you hadn’t seen, heard from or thought of in a long time, and later discovered they died around that time? This has happened to me more times than I can count. No one I have spoken with – friends or family – has experienced this. Have you ever heard of this phenomenon, and is there a name for it? – Miss

J. In Oklahoma

Dear Miss J.: I have never had that experience, but I have heard of the phenomenon.

It’s called either ESP or coincidence, depending upon which psychic plane you dwell. However, I HAVE had friends “pop into my head” and thought I should give them a call, only to hear from them a few days later.

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Abby: I am a widow who has fallen in love with a wonderful man who is almost 30 years my junior.

He proclaims his love for me every day, and I know it’s real. I have been warned by others to be aware of “devious males on the make for comfortably situated widows.”

After discussing it with the man, I have determined this is not his motive.

Right now, we’re good friends who love each other’s company. If marriage is in the future for us, I’m afraid of the age factor. He is not. Could you comment and give me some guidance? – Cautious in Kansas Dear Cautious: Everyone knows there are devious males – and females – out there, but not all men are predators. If your friend is financially independent, then it’s unlikely he’s looking for a sugar mama.

While it is unusual, I know several couples in which the wife is considerably older than the husband, and they seem very happy together.

If and when you plan to marry, it makes sense to discuss this with your attorney and have a prenuptial agreement created.

If your friend has no ulterior motives, he will understand it’s for the protection of both of you and sign it.

You have only one life to live – so live it without worrying about what others may think.

Dear Abby: I just opened my social media account and saw a friend had posted her daughter’s report card – all A’s. She then went on to say how proud she was of her because she is also co-captain of her school’s volleyball team, and mentoring other students, etc. You get the picture.

My son is suffering from depression and social anxiety, and we are fighting to keep him from failing all his classes. He’s going to therapy and is on medication.
