VIEWS Kate Schott If you’re on the fence about whether or not to cast a ballot Tuesday, think of it this way.

Let’s say you’re on your Facebook page. You see an issue or stance that tugs at your heartstrings, think “right on” and hit the “like” button.

Let’s say that issue is ending hunger in your community.

You can like an organization for their mission, but if you aren’t supporting that mission by volunteering or donating financially, are you helping it by clicking “like?”

It’s the same when it comes to elections. You can cheer on a candidate or champion an issue, but it means nothing if you don’t vote.

We’re so lucky to live in a country where it’s our right to vote. It befuddles me when people don’t embrace and cherish that right. While Election Day is Tuesday, early voting opportunities provide practically a month in which one can cast a vote.

There are few excuses for not voting – especially if you want to see changes in the way things are run in the county, state and Congress.

You want change? That starts at the ballot box.

If you’re looking for information about candidates, our online Election Central database is up and running on www.theherald-news.com/ election-central and morrisdailyherald.com/election-central.

The sites have information about the contested races in each respective publication’s

circulation area – so Will and Grundy counties for Herald-News, and Grundy County for Morris Daily Herald.

Any stories we have written about the election can be found there. Readers also can find answers candidates submitted to questionnaires we sent to those in contested races – so you can read, in their own words and on your time – how they feel about issues and why they are running.

Feature changes A few weeks ago, I wrote about how in our focus to provide more local news, we eliminated our daily Advice page. We originally kept the Dear Abby column and cut the Dr. K column. Then we decided to rotate the two columns because so many people missed Dr. K, and we thought that each appearing three days

Gaffney to retire as president of Lewis University in 2016

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Brother James Gaffney, president of Lewis University since 1988, is retiring, but friends and colleagues will have plenty of time to get used to the idea.

Lewis University announced Friday that Gaffney will retire June 30, 2016.

Gaffney said that since it’s been so long since Lewis has needed to fill the president’s job, he thought it wise to announce his plans early and provide time to find a replacement.

“I urged people, ‘Don’t feel rushed at all. We have time for a dialogue,’” Gaffney said. “It also gives presidents at other universities a chance to think about it [the Lewis job] rather than feel rushed.”

Gaffney been president of Lewis for more than a quarter-century and has helmed the university during a time of growing enrollment and new construction at the Romeoville campus. Lewis had a record enrollment of 6,700 in the fall, and Gaffney said he sees that

Brother James Gaffney, president of Lewis University since 1988, will retire June 30, 2016. growing to 7,500 by the time he leaves. He also said there should be four buildings under construction or in planning phases when he retires.

Even so, Gaffney, 72, said it makes sense to retire.

“There are advantages from a change – someone of different qualities or different abilities,” he said. “No one should serve forever or indefinitely.”

Gaffney already is the lon-

gest serving president at Lewis University. When the news came out Friday, many people made it clear to him that they would like him to stay longer.

“I’ve received dozens and dozens of emails,” Gaffney said. Some asked him to reconsider, he said. “But people in time will see it’s a good decision for the university.”

Gaffney announced his decision to the university’s board of trustees Monday and sent a letter to faculty and staff Friday.

In a written announcement issued by the university, James LaGrippe, chair of the board of trustees, described Gaffney as “visionary” and “an exceptional leader.” LaGrippe noted accomplishments that have included “revitalizing the Romeoville campus and building a momentum that will continue for many years to come.”

Gaffney should be around for many years to come as well.

When he retires, Gaffney will become president emeritus and serve Lewis in an ambassador role. He still has “vigor,” Gaffney said, and “I am in good health.”

a week was a decent compromise.

Well, after receiving more calls, we’ve re-reevaluated and are working to have Dear Abby and Dr. K both run on a daily basis. We’re looking at our other feature pages – those with the puzzles, comics and TV grid – to see how we can best use that space. I anticipate we will keep both puzzles, but make the New York Times puzzle smaller so we can get a column on that page.

We hope to get this accomplished in the next week or so.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Voters are asked to pick candidates in local, state, federal races

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com WILL COUNTY – Once the votes are cast Tuesday on Election Day, voters will no longer endure the sounds of political attack ads or see candidate signs scattered across yards.

In the meantime, voters should take a closer look at who they think should lead local and state government.

Contested races on the ballot include a too-close-tocall contest for governor and a showdown for Will County sheriff. There’s also a possibility of Republicans regaining a majority on the Will County Board. Voters also should look out for several referendums on the ballot.

With days left before voters head to the polls, Republican businessman Bruce Rauner and Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn remain in a dead heat in the race for governor. Both candidates have made several campaign stops in Joliet and in Will County, including separate speaking events before the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

This year’s governor’s race is considered the most expensive in state history with Rauner and Quinn on pace to spend more than $100 million when all is said and done.

Sheriff’s race In the Will County sheriff’s race, voters have two choices: Republican Ken Kaupas, deputy chief of investigations and media spokesman, and Democratic Mike Kelley, sergeant for investigations.

Kaupas, a Shorewood resident who grew up in Chicago and Lemont, previously served 26 years with the Illinois State Police as a trooper and investigator. Kelley, a lifelong Lockport resident, was a sheriff’s deputy for 26 years.

Paul Kaupas, who will retire after 12 years as sheriff, is Ken Kaupas’ second-cousin.

For more about Will County Board candidates, visit The Herald-News’ Election Central at www.TheHerald-News.com/election-central.

But Kelley’s experience is with the county sheriff’s department and within the community, whereas Kaupas’ longest tenure was with state police, said Scott Pyles, chairman for the Will County Democratic Central Committee.

“He’s had similar experiences with Paul [Kaupas]. He’s a veteran within the department,” Pyles said.

“It’s a question of experience and leadership. Both

have the time in, but [Kaupas] is the guy with quality time,” Ronkowski said.

The stakes are high for Will County Board district races, Ronkowski said.

After decades of having a Republican-controlled board, the current 26-member County Board is split down the middle, with 13 Democrats and 13 Republicans. County Executive Larry Walsh, a Democrat, serves as the tie-breaker.

Ronkowski said it would be nice if his party snagged one of the Democratic seats on Tuesday, swinging things back to a Republican-controlled board, with Walsh remaining a deciding vote with veto power, he said.

Pyles said the competitive County Board races in this election – Districts 2, 5 and 9 – are critical for his party.

“It would be nice to increase our majority,” he said. “All our candidates are well-qualified and would continue the trend of having a fiscally responsible County Board.”

One such race that’s being closely watched is District 5, which includes Plainfield.

In 2012, board member Reed Bible was elected as the first Democrat in that area in recent history, and he’s hoping to retain that seat.

He faces competition from

Customers still seeking answers on Grant’s

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Wally Kaczmarczyk, like a lot of people, is getting impatient waiting for answers about money he may have lost with Grant’s Appliances.

Kaczmarczyk even went to Grant’s owner Robert Wysocki’s home. But no one was home, and there was a for-sale sign in the front yard.

He spent roughly $10,000 for appliances and has no idea if he will see the money or appliances since the Grant’s stores have closed.

Kaczmarczyk, 42, of Lemont, filed a lawsuit Oct. 17 in Cook County when the stores appeared to close Oct. 8 and he got no response from company representatives on what would happen with his pur-

chases.

“I have been calling them every day and every store … and nothing, nothing. It’s just the same thing,” he said.

Grant’s is an appliance and electronics retailer that had stores in Aurora, Downers Grove, Orland Park and Merrillville, Indiana. The company is based in Joliet, where there also is a warehouse.

Along with Joliet resident Marion Fuller, Kaczmarczyk is suing Grant’s for money lost and merchandise not received. Another 20 people have filed complaints against the company with the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.

The Illinois Attorney General’s office is attempting to mediate complaints, office spokeswoman Maura Possley said. But the attorney general’s office has not reached

anyone from Grant’s either.

Multiple attempts by The Herald-News since Oct. 8 to reach Grant’s representatives have been unsuccessful.

When Fuller filed his lawsuit Oct. 14, he sought $568.18 for a washing machine from the store that wasn’t delivered. Carla Bison of St. Charles has said she lost $3,275 for a whole kitchen set she never got from the store.

Kaczmarczyk said he was able to get at least $3,000 of his money back because he paid that portion of the $9,928 purchase with a credit card. The rest was with a check, he said.

He said he went Sept. 1 to the Orland Park store to purchase kitchen appliances and was told they would be delivered Sept. 20, which never happened. Kaczmarczyk called the store a few days lat-

er and was told to wait another week.

Kaczmarczyk called again and was told to wait another week once more, he said.

Then they didn’t answer the phones. When he went to the store, he saw it was closed.

In his effort to track down someone with Grant’s, Kaczmarczyk said he went to the Naperville home of Robert Wysocki, owner of Grant’s.

He wasn’t there but Kaczmarczyk saw his home had a for-sale sign on the lawn. Neighbors told him he was still living there, he said.

On Friday, a visit to what is believed to be Wysocki’s Naperville home showed a for-sale sign on the lawn. No one answered the door. A neighbor said Wysocki has been at the house.

On Friday, several cars

were parked outside the Joliet Grant’s store, indicating some kind of activity inside.

One person was seen walking through the front entrance.

In another Will County lawsuit, Summitbridge Credit Investments IV LLC is seeking foreclosure of Grant’s Joliet properties and companies affiliated with the appliance retailer for failing to make payments on loans.

An attorney representing Summitbridge declined to comment on the lawsuit or if it was related to the store’s closings.

In Summitbridge’s lawsuit, Bassgar-Illinois Inc., Bosan-Illinois Inc., and WYOL LLC were named as owners of Grant’s and its Joliet properties. According to the Illinois Secretary of State’s website, the companies are active.

Joliet-area residents enjoy unique circus at Louis Joliet Mall

By JEAN TYRELL Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – The Cirque Italia was in town on Halloween night at the Louis Joliet Mall.

Costumed children and their parents thrilled at the displays of balance and athleticism and pageantry in this water circus, which delivered a tightly woven program to pulsating music and water jets which surrounded the stage.

“It’s good for the kids,” said Plainfield resident Amy Pham.

Pham attended with her son Alan, 7, in seats very close to the front of the stage.

She said the area doesn’t have much entertainment that is kid friendly, but that this show was perfect for the entire family.

She and her son met friends and shared popcorn as they watched muscular and agile men lift and balance each other, beautiful women on flying hoops and a contortionist place a hat on

Christine Muilenburg for Shaw Media

19-year-old twins Megan and Morgan McKenyon of Dallas have been performing since they were 11 years old. After participating in a fifth-grade talent show, the girls were approached by performers from Barnum and Bailey Circus and encouraged to attend “circus school.” Megan has been with Cirque Italia for a year and was joined by her sister, Morgan, in August of this year. Cirque Italia continues today with shows at 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. her own head while bending over backwards. The crowd

laughed and gasped at the theatrics.

Interspersed in this fastpaced show was Coco The

Clown, a humorous buffoon who worked the audience, which included bringing Curtis Boggess of Joliet on the circular stage to attempt to pedal an 18-inch red bike.

Coco could pedal it though, and did so to the crowd’s applause.

Later, Coco pulled three hats out of his backpack and encouraged audience members to toss them on his head.

A head is a hard target at 30 feet, but the three audience members who he picked eventually succeeded.

“Wonderful and hardworking,” said Plainfield resident Stivan Macwan about the circus performers.

Macwan, who brought his daughter and wife to the show, talked about the “passion” in the entertainers.

Temperatures were in the upper 30s when the show in the tent began, but Macwan said, “Everybody wrapped up, so they were comfortable.”

Seven-Day Forecast for Will County

Latest state Report Card shows students not college-ready

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

‘Average growth value’

BY THE NUMBERS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com The Illinois Report Card, released Friday, shows that while a good majority of high school graduates enroll in college, they aren’t necessarily prepared for the coursework that comes with it.

In the latest state analysis of schools, the Illinois State Board of Education looked at the percentage of high school graduates from the 2011-12 school year who enrolled in a two- or four-year college in the U.S. within 12 or 16 months.

They then looked at the percentage of students who scored at least a 21 composite score on the ACT – a score that deems test-takers college-ready.

Joliet Township High School District 204 is below the state average in both categories.

Just over half of District 204 students enrolled in college soon after graduating high school, according to the state’s analysis, but just 30 percent were prepared for college-level courses.

Statewide, about 66 percent of high school graduates from the 2011-12 school year went to college within 12 months and 70 percent enrolled within 16 months. Just 46 were considered college-ready.

District 204 Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy said the district strives to “always make college a reality for students.”

About 63 percent of District 204’s population are low-income students, a factor that should be considered when analyzing the state’s numbers, McCarthy said.

“College doesn’t always seem like a reality for these families, but it can be,” she

Unlike test scores, which only show a one-time snapshot of achievement, a new metric – Student Academic Growth – compares students’ growth from year to year on the ISAT test, according to the state board of education.

Growth value scores greater than 100 indicate students are improving relative to their grade level. An example is moving from “below standards” to “meets standards.”

Unlike test scores, which only show a one-time snapshot of achievement, a new metric – the Student Academic Growth – compares students’ growth from year to year on the ISAT test, according to ISBE. Scores higher than 100 indicate students are improving relative to their grade level, for example by moving from “below standards” to “meets standards.”

Here’s a look at local school districts’ average growth values: Growth Value Scores (Reading; Math) • Beecher CUSD 200U – 100; 103 • Chaney-Monge SD 88 – 97; 96 • Channahon SD 17 – 106; 109 • Crete Monee CUSD 201U – 95; 103 • Elwood CCSD 203 – 101; N/A • Fairmont SD 89 – 94; 91 • Frankfort CCSD 157C – 106; 103 • Homer CCSD 33C – 103; 111 • Joliet PSD 86 – 105; 96 • Laraway CCSD 70C – 103; 97 • Manhattan SD 114 – 100; 104 • Mokena SD 159 – 104; 103 • New Lenox SD 122 – 100; 105 • Lockport SD 91 – 99; 104 • Peotone CUSD 207U – 100; 102 • Plainfield SD 202 – 101; 110 • Reed Custer CUSD v255U – 97; 104 • Richland GSD 88A – 100; 107 • Rockdale SD 84 – 97; 104 • Summit Hill SD 161 – 103; 103 • Taft SD 90 – 93; 102 • Troy CCSD 30C – 97; 104 • Will County SD 92 – 102; 108 • Wilmington CUSD 209U – 97; 98 • Union SD 81 – 100; 103 • Valley View CUSD 365U – 100; 106

trict, scored 96 in reading and 105 in math. Several districts in Will County scored average growth values greater than 100. Homer Community Consolidated School District 33C, Plainfield’s 202 and Channahon School District 17 had scored 111, 110 and 109 in math, respectively.

In reading, nine districts scored below 100, while Channahon and Frankfort school districts scored the highest, with 106. The lowest scoring districts

One way the district is striving to improve those numbers is through the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties’ new Mentor 2.0 program. The program matches up JTHS students with local college graduates who understand the crucial skills they’ll need when they reach college.

One school district that did

better on the college-readiness standard is Plainfield School District 202, one of the state’s largest school districts.

Seventy percent of students from the 2011-12 school year enrolled in college within 12 months, while 74 percent enrolled withing 16 months. At the same time, just 48 percent of students scored 21 or higher on the ACT that year.

8 Police to question Will County judge day after election

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Investigators have scheduled an interview next week to ask a Will County judge about threats her son allegedly made during a fight with his girlfriend.

Sheriff Paul Kaupas said he was informed Thursday that detectives will meet with Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes on Wednesday to discuss what she may have witnessed during the Oct. 6 incident that led to the arrest of Louis D. Goode.

Kaupas said the judge had been out of town for a week and had other conflicts before an interview could be arranged for the day after Election Day. Alessio-Policandriotes is a candidate for retention in Tuesday’s election. She also is a witness in the case. According to an order of protection taken out by the victim, the

judge was at the scene when her son threatened to kill the girlfriend.

Goode, 29, and his 28-yearold girlfriend allegedly argued over money the night before his arrest. Goode allegedly kicked and choked the woman before dragging her by the hair to his car and making her get inside the trunk, according to an order of protection the woman filed.

The fight resumed the next morning and Goode allegedly threatened to kill the woman as Alessio-Policandriotes arrived to take him to his first day of work on the Jury Commission, according to reports.

The victim filed an order of protection later that morning and deputies took Goode into custody at the courthouse when he left for lunch.

The Supreme Court has assigned Goode’s case to Grundy County Judge Robert Marsaglia.

X KEVIN CALLAHAN A LIFETIME DEDICATED TO KEEPING THE CITIZENS OF GRUNDY COUNTY SAFE

I’ve made it a point to run my campaign to be your Sheriff for another 4 year term, in a positive, honest and ethical manner, giving you my qualifications…and the reasons I am the best candidate to be the Sheriff of Grundy County.

I dedicated the past 31 years of my life in the Grundy County Sheriff’s office because I love my job and Grundy County is my home. I never planned to use this position as a steppingstone to a higher paying job elsewhere like some have.

My wife Colleen and I built our home here in Wauponsee Township in 1991. That’s where we both planned to spend the rest of our lives.

I want to be your Sheriff not only for the next 4 years, but for the following 4 years and more, keeping Grundy County one of the most wonderful places to live and raise a family as any community in the USA. As your Sheriff, I will continue to work hard while being available and fair to each and everyone. I pride myself on running this office in a transparent, non-partisan manner.

My opponent has recently made some untrue statements about my experience and qualifications. I shouldn’t be surprised as he used the same tactics inthe primary against Ron Marx, trying to ruin a good man’s reputation.

I thought it only right to give you the TRUE FACTS about me and my opponent clarifying the source of the findings at the bottom of this article.

THE HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Wind gusts that exceeded 50 mph loosened a non-structural, ornamental feature Friday afternoon from the facade of a Will County building.

The decorative aluminum rail, located directly above the main entrance of the Emco Building, 57 N. Ottawa St., came loose as a result of the

high winds that blew across Will County on Friday, according to a news release from Will County.

Officials from Will County called the Joliet Fire Department to help remove the loose pieces, which was completed just before 4 p.m.

“The immediate cooperation the county received from the Joliet Fire Department was incredible,” Will County Exec-

utive Larry Walsh said in the news release. “I appreciate the quick response to this situation which surely helped protect the public’s safety.”

A building inspector from Joliet and the maintenance director from Will County inspected the facade of the building to ensure there were no other loose portions, according to the news release. There were no injuries.

Minooka boy killed in 11 North Carolina wreck The ASSOCIATED PRESS RURAL HALL, N.C. – The Highway Patrol has released the names of a North Carolina man and a Minooka boy who died in a multi-vehicle wreck in Forsyth County, North Carolina.

The patrol said Friday that 51-year-old Jesse Hickman of Mount Airy, North Carolina, and 9-year-old Jeremy Crymes of Minooka, Illinois, were killed in the wreck that sent eight other

people to the hospital.

Troopers say the wreck happened Thursday afternoon when a tractor trailer rig hit five vehicles on U.S. 52 near Rural Hall.

Both of those who were killed were in vehicles that were hit by the truck.

The crash happened near a bridge construction zone as traffic was slowing and merging into one lane.

The patrol continues to investigate. No charges have been filed.

‘Very different with the water element,’ says one audience member Continued from page 4 Mackenzie Williams, 11, of Plainfield and her “Mad Hatter” outfit, with its bedraggled coat and filmy cravat, accompanied by her purple

hair and smeared lipstick, won first prize during the costume contest at intermission.

Williams’ mom, Maya Overstreet, said she loved the circus.

“It was very different with the water element,” Overstreet said.

The Cirque Italia’s home is in Florida, and the troupe has been on the road since February, said performer Morgaine Rosenthal, the mermaid, who shed her tail during her acrobatic number.

Circus members came from many different coun-

tries, including Central and South America. For example, Coco, whose real name is Coco Kramer, is from Argentina.

The circus has a cast of about 20 members and a crew of about 20, Rosenthal said.

The crew erected the tent and

its rows of blue plastic seats.

The center circular stage is surrounded by a deep gutter to capture the overflow water.

Sunday performances are at 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. Tickets range from $10 to $50. Visit cirqueitalia.com for more information.

12 Safety board reports on 2013 Bolingbrook plane crash

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Authorities have determined a pilot’s loss of aircraft control led to his and his wife’s deaths in a September 2013 crash.

Dr. Narayan Venguswamy, 63, and his wife, Jay, from Georgetown, Kentucky, died while attempting to land about 5:15 p.m. Sept.

25, 2013, at Clow International Airport in Bolingbrook A report released last week by the National Transportation Safety Board said the plane touched down on the runway “multiple times” before banking to the left at a low altitude. The single-engine Cirrus SR20 flew over a few buildings and struck a tree and a light pole at the parking lot of Chase Bank at Lily Cache and Weber roads – about a quarter-mile from the runway. The plane erupted into a fireball that damaged

three cars parked in the lot.

No one on the ground was injured, but Jay Venguswamy died instantly.

Narayan Venguswamy was able to escape the wreckage, but died from burns the next morning at Loyola Medical Center in Maywood.

According to a witness who spoke with Venguswamy immediately after the crash, the pilot said “the airplane’s speed was too fast [he was landing with a tailwind], so he decided to go around and attempt the landing again.

He then stated that as he was banking, he lost power and control of the aircraft,” the NTSB report stated.

NTSB data showed the airplane had an average ground speed of 117 knots on final approach.

The husband and wife worked at Georgetown Community Hospital, where Venguswamy was a general surgeon and his wife was his office manager.

PLAINFIELD – School District 202 teachers delivered a message to the school board last week that they want a lighter workload and more pay.

Contract negotiations are set to continue on Wednesday.

Teachers and administrators at the Plainfield-based school district have been negotiating a new agreement. Negotiating teams came to a tentative deal Oct. 7. But teachers rejected the agreement Oct. 22, several days before the school board was set to vote on it.

Several teachers spoke out at last week’s board meeting, citing an increased workload from several new programs including Common Core state standards, as well as increased paperwork.

“It’s the Common Core and a lot of other initiatives, especially at the elementary level,” said Dawn Bullock, president of the Association of Plainfield Teachers. “There seems to be a new initiative every single year. Teachers are having to do more realigning, making resources, making concepts.”

Bullock said the district has also made personnel cuts, shifting paperwork and other responsibilities to teachers.

“It’s big reductions that have things falling on teachers,” Bullock said. “Teachers have to focus more on the reading intervention program, Guiding Reading Plus, data collection, Common Core implementation. That’s a lot of hats the teachers are wearing.”

In addition to the workload and salary roadblocks, retirement and other non-classroom issues have been discussed in the negotiations, Bullock said.

Bullock still thinks a deal can get done. A teacher strike, like the one Plainfield teachers initiated in 2002, is far from happening at this point, she said.

“It’s always a possibility, but not now,” she said. “We haven’t declared an impasse.

We’re both willing to go back to negotiating.”

School board President Roger Bonuchi said the board needs to learn more about how the new programs are affecting teachers, especially at the elementary level.

“We knew there was a heavy workload on elementary this year,” he said. “We want the teachers to be successful.

We need to go back to the union leadership and get together to solve these issues.”

Bullock said the negotiating team met Wednesday and put out a survey to teachers.

“We look forward to continuing negotiations and settling the contract as soon as possible,” district spokesman Tom Hernandez said.

Joliet house search leads to arrest

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A man suspected of dealing drugs was arrested after police searched a house Wednesday night.

Courtney B. Norris, 34, had been the subject of a two-month investigation, according to Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team Field Supervisor Kyle Bledsoe.

Norris also is facing charges of home invasion and aggravated battery for a January 2013 incident in Joliet Township and a drunk driving charge in Romeoville that have not been resolved, according to court re-

cords.

“We received information he’d been dealing narcotics in the Joliet area and obtained a search warrant for a residence in the 1200 block of Clement Street,” Bledsoe said. An unspecified amount of cocaine was allegedly found during the search.

Norris was booked into the Will County jail early Thursday on charges of drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful use of a weapon. He is being held on $100,000 bond.

ROMEOVILLE – Police are investigating the theft of two trailers and several hundred wooden pallets from a shipping dock.

Deputy Police Chief Steven Lucchesi said it appears the theft occurred on the night of Oct. 15 from a business in the 800 block of Schmidt Road, but the shortage was not discovered until the following week.

Lucchesi said two trailers, both

containing wooden pallets, were taken. The pallets were valued at $4,900, while each trailer is valued at $5,000.

“One trailer was [since] located in Blue Island, however it did not have any pallets on it,” Lucchesi said.

No other merchandise was reported stolen and no suspect information was available. Lucchesi said Friday the investigation remains open.

Ernest Frederick Kreutzer, Jr., M.D., age 63, died unexpectedly on October 28, 2014, at Riverside Methodist Hospital, where he had spent his career practicing medicine.

He was born on January 11, 1951, in Joliet, Illinois, the only child of Ernest Frederick Kreutzer, M.D., and Julia Kancir Kreutzer. Ernie attended DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, where he was a member of the swimming team, and received his undergraduate degree in 1973. Ernie attended Purdue University and obtained a M.S. in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy. It was there he became a licensed private pilot with an instrument rating and was president of Purdue Pilots.

In 1981, Ernie graduated from The Chicago Medical School, and did his residency in Anesthesia at Northwestern University with a fellowship in Pediatric Anesthesia as well as Critical Care. In 1985, Ernie, wife Jackie, and one-week-old son Evan moved from Chicago to Columbus, Ohio, where he began his position at Riverside Methodist Hospital with Midwest Physician Anesthesia Services, Inc., twice serving as president of the group. Ernie’s heart overflowed with love for his “two boys,” sons Evan and Erich. Being their dad was his most cherished role. Despite the demands of his profession, he was involved with all their activities, coaching soccer, baseball, football, and he rarely missed a game or a golf match. Indian Guides was also a shared activity and Ernie even became chief of the Scioto Longhouse, delighting in the fireside ceremonies and seeing the awe in the young boys’ faces.

Ernie never knew a stranger and his generosity to others was an integral part of him. When Parkinson’s disease cut short his medical career, Ernie turned his disappointment into making a difference to others with the disease. He lobbied in Washington, D.C. for research funding and for ten years he served as Chairman of the Board of The Central Ohio Parkinson Society. He was an early recipient of the technology known as deep brain stimulation and spent many hours traveling, talking about,

19 and demonstrating its use. Ernie was happiest with his family-- at home, in the pool, captaining the boat at Seabrook Island, SC, and on the golf course.

He passed his passion for the game on to his sons, who, along with his friends, spent countless hours with him at The Lakes Golf and Country Club. Ernie loved flying airplanes, scuba diving, sipping a great glass of scotch, and any activity with his sons and buddies.

He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Jackie Nave Kreutzer, Psy.D., sons, Evan Frederick Kreutzer, M.D. of Indianapolis, and Erich John Kreutzer; and daughter-in- law, Caroline Vaughan Kreutzer, of San Francisco.

In addition, he will be dearly missed by his beloved mother-in-law and friend, Faye Hurley Nave; sister-inlaw, Julie Nave; brothers-in-law, Daniel Nave and Michael Nave; several nieces and nephews, and his many close friends and colleagues.

Calling hours with family were held on Friday, October 31, 2014, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Atonement Lutheran Church, 1621 Francisco Road, Columbus, OH 43220. A Memorial Service was held there on Saturday, November 1, 2014, at 5:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to National Parkinson Foundation, Central & Southeast Ohio, 2800 Corporate Exchange Drive, Suite 265, Columbus, OH 43231. www. centralohioparkinson.org/.

(Blanco); brother, Charles (Marjorie nee Shoop).

Survived by his loving wife, Bonnie; step-son, Rob (Michele) of Tappan, New York, and “special daughter”, Nancy Vallera.

Ralph led a lifetime filled with music. He played professionally at the age of 14 and never looked back. He enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard in 1941 and played in various military bands, including the Coast Guard Band at Cherry Point, N.C., before shipping out to the Pacific Theater. While serving overseas on the USS Dickman at Okinawa and Leyte Gulf, Ralph was a member of the ship’s band under the direction of Kenyon Hopkins, head of music for Paramount Pictures. Ralph also studied under Mr. Hopkins.

Upon returning home, he resumed his career, studied organ for 2 years, taught privately for 10 years and was a member of the Roy Gordon Orchestra for 25 years, playing in the Chicagoland area. He joined Mike Iseberg Wurlitzer Company in 1965, and assumed ownership in 1969, when the business name was changed to World of Music at the Rialto Building. His business soon became very successful and the place for musicians, both young and old, to hang out. There are those of a certain age that fondly remember shopping on a Friday summer evening and hearing Ralph playing thru the open doors, before moving the World of Music to the Westside Shopping Center. During this time he retired from the Roy Gordon Band.

Ralph started Thursday night jam sessions at the American Legion Hall on North Chicago Street, and

that too became the place to go.

It was here that he met his future wife Bonnie, who shared his passion for jazz, and together they formed a partnership that lasted nearly 40 years. The focus then became a jazz group that over the years used many fine musicians, but at its core, had 4 that were special to him: Eddie Clark, Dwayne Linnick and Bob Hill, with Bonnie as his vocalist.

They performed at Butterfield Country Club for 22 years, Kankakee Country Club for 10 years, and many private parties at various venues throughout Chicagoland. Some of his final performances were playing solo piano at Earl’s Cafe for 6 years.

Ralph taught piano for several years at Bristol Grove Studio in Plainfield before failing eyesight forced him to retire. His last years were spent with his wife enjoying their home, walking his dog, Quincy Jones, and making new friends wherever he went. As one of his neighbors said, “I can’t imagine the neighborhood without Ralph in it.”

To those of us who knew him and loved him, he will be remembered as a kind and gentle man with a mischievous and fun sense of humor, and a ready smile, who gave of his time and talent and took such joy in the achievements of the young musicians he mentored.

Ralph’s favorite song was Gershwin’s “Our Love is Here to Stay”, and when Bonnie joined the group, it became “their song” and was played at every performance.

Dearest Ralph, For the last time, Our Love was, and Is to stay.

Per his wishes, a celebration of Ralph’s life was held at his home for family and friends.

Considering a voting booth selfie?

Think again

PEORIA – Already thinking about that perfect voting booth selfie on Election Day? You may want to think again.

Taking a cellphone picture of yourself and your marked-up ballot could be considered a felony.

A provision of Illinois election law forbids showing others your ballot, The Peoria Journal Star reported. It dates back to the early 1970s, long before the smartphone era, but could apply to digital images as much as to a Polaroid.

The prohibition in section 29-9 of the election code is meant to thwart vote-buying schemes by making it harder to prove to someone after the fact that a person voted in a certain way, explained Ken Menzel, deputy general counsel of the Illinois State Board of Elections.

“If I marked up my ballot and tweeted a picture to you, there’s at least some ways to interpret this section to say I’ve marked my ballot” in a way that it can be observed, Menzel told the newspaper.

Still, the odds may be slim you’d be headed to the big house.

Menzel has never heard of a prosecution for posting a ballot image on social media. And Peoria County State’s Attorney Jerry Brady said under such

circumstances he’d be unlikely to pursue a prosecution.

In any case, cellphones are discouraged in polling places both to keep people from snapping photos and to stop them from carrying on conversations, especially about candidates, Peoria Election Commission Director Tom Bride said.

Boy, 15, charged in shooting of pizza deliveryman

DOLTON – A 15-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder in the shooting of a pizza delivery driver last week in a southern Chicago suburb.

Police in Dolton say they’re still looking for two other people they believe took part in the robbery.

The teen in custody was expected to appear in bond court Saturday. A news release from the village administration said he also is charged with one count of armed robbery.

The shooting took place last weekend. Police say three people approached the deliveryman as he got out of his car. Police say he was shot several times as he tried to flee and was hospitalized in critical condition.

to blow up an ATM with a pipe bomb has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

The Springfield State Journal-Register reported Bradford L. Moss was sentenced Friday to concurrent 20-year prison terms after a plea deal.

Authorities say Moss was unarmed when he entered a Marine Bank branch on Aug. 4, slipped the teller a note and made off with $2,000.

The 7-inch PVC pipe bomb was found on a sidewalk at the end of July across the street from an ATM. A bomb squad disabled it with a water cannon.

Moss was arrested in Las Vegas.

He told authorities he didn’t make the bomb and obtained it from a source whose identity he didn’t know.

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn got an assist Saturday from first lady Michelle Obama, who told a cheering crowd the incumbent and other Democrats will ensure a bright future for Illinois children. Republican governor candidate Bruce Rauner said Democrats have been running Illinois for too long and it’s time for a change.

The candidates are making their final pleas to voters across the state in advance of a Tuesday election that’s expected to be one of the closest in the U.S. Speaking to an audience of about 1,400 in Moline, the first lady – who grew up in Chicago – said the outcome of the race is “personal,” The Moline Dispatch reported. She said Quinn will make the kind of investment in education that leads to good jobs and a stronger middle class.

“We need to be energized for our kids,” Obama said. “We need to be inspired for our kids, to build them the future they deserve.”

Rauner made stops in Quincy, Lawrenceville, Carmi, Harrisburg and Marion as part of a three-day statewide swing he’s calling the “100 Years is Enough Tour.”

He told about 150 supporters at a park in Quincy that Quinn, House Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton and now-imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich – all Democrats he described as “the Chicago political machine” – have run Springfield for a combined 100 years.

He said those “career politicians” are responsible for Illinois’ financial problems, The Quincy Herald-Whig reported.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Fill ’er up: Gas under $3 for 1st time in 4 years NEW YORK – The sight is so surprising that Americans are sharing photos of it, along with all those cute Halloween costumes, sweeping vistas and special meals: The gas station sign, with a price of $2-something a gallon.

“It’s stunning what’s happening here,” said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. “I’m a little bit shocked.”

The national average price of gasoline fell 33 cents to end October at $3 a gallon and dipped Saturday to $2.995, according to AAA. That marks the first time in four years that gas has been cheaper than $3 a gallon.

Marine vet out of Mexico jail, home in Florida WESTON, Fla. – A retired U.S. Marine who fought in Afghanistan returned home to Florida on Saturday after spending eight months in a Mexican jail for crossing the border with loaded guns, a case that led U.S. politicians to bring intense pressure on Mexico to release him.

Family spokesman Jon Franks said the private plane carrying Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, his mother and supporters – including former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson – landed at a South Florida airport about 6 a.m.

Tahmooressi was freed Friday

night and reunited with his mother, Jill, and then boarded the flight to Florida in San Diego.

Tahmooressi, 26, has said he took a wrong turn on a California freeway that funneled him into a Tijuana port of entry with no way to turn back, and that he had no intention of illegally bringing guns into Mexico. His detention brought calls for his freedom from U.S. politicians, veterans groups and social media campaigns. A U.S. congressional committee held a hearing on the case.

Driver sought in crash that killed 3 on Halloween LOS ANGELES – Authorities on Saturday tracked the owner of an SUV suspected of being used in a Halloween night hit-and-run that killed three teenage girls to a Southern California home, only to find someone else living there.

The black Honda had not been reported stolen. Detectives set about the task of trying to determine where the owner was and who was driving when the vehicle traveling at high speed hit the girls, including twin sisters, who were out for a night of trick-or-treating.

The SUV was abandoned a short distance away. Police were seeking two men from an SUV that hit the girls, police Chief Carlos Rojas said at a media briefing.

GOP rebels mind their political manners

By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Tea party groups and other Republican rebels that thrive on bedeviling the party establishment are minding their political manners in the runup to Election Day, while Democrats are struggling.

That combination doesn’t guarantee a Republican takeover of the Senate or big GOP gains in the House in elections midway through President Barack Obama’s second term. But it does augur poorly for Democrats by the time the votes are tallied Tuesday night.

“There is just too much at stake not to support Pat Roberts,” Jenny Beth Martin, head of the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, said recently in announcing an endorsement of the veteran Kansas senator.

That’s not how the group saw it earlier in the year, when it scorned the 78-yearold incumbent as a career politician and sought to defeat him in a primary. “Pat Roberts wants special treatment,” said a video posted to the organization’s website back then. It accused him of “taking a special exemption from Obamacare.”

The turnaround means the group is now all-in for the GOP establishment, which treated it and others like it as a mortal threat in the primary season and wound up handing them defeat after defeat in Kentucky, Mississippi, Kansas and elsewhere.

The establishment’s objective was to prevent a repeat of the 2010 and 2012 elections, when Republicans lost winnable races – and a chance at a Senate majority – because unelectable

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, speaks during a campaign event Oct. 9 for Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., in downtown Wichita, Kan. Tea party groups and other Republican rebels that thrive on bedeviling the party establishment are minding their political manners in the runup to Election Day. insurgents made it through the primaries in a handful of states.

“The last two cycles we nominated some people who were not the best candidates for the general election,” Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the party’s leader said in August. “In 2014, I’m hard-pressed to think of a single state where we don’t have the best nominee possible.”

The cease-fire is unlikely to last much after Election Day, as suggested by a dustup in recent days between some conservatives who said they detected a sign of weakness in McConnell’s vow to try and repeal the health care law.

But to party leaders, Nov. 4 is what matters most as Republicans pursue the six seats needed to win control of the Senate.

The mood is less forgiving on the other side of the aisle, although the grumbling is muted for now.

Senate Democratic aides and White House officials have been sniping at one another for weeks, going back to

a dispute over President Barack Obama’s plans to issue an order ending deportations for millions of immigrants in the country illegally.

House Democrats also are unhappy over a steep decline in support from environmental and other groups, who focused more on Senate races this year.

History alone predicts a drubbing for any president’s party midway through his second term. Since 1934, the average is a loss of about 30 seats in the House and six in the Senate. Barring a blowout that no prognosticator is predicting, Republicans are unlikely to pad their House majority by that much. In fact a gain of 13 would leave them with more seats than at any time since 1946.

Capturing six Senate seats is the bare minimum for success for Republicans.

A gain of only five would leave them in a 50-50 tie that would keep control with the Democrats by virtue of Vice President Joseph Biden’s tie-breaking vote.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Branson vows to find out cause of crash MOJAVE, Calif. – Billionaire Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson vowed Saturday to find out what caused the crash of his prototype space craft that killed one of two test pilots, adding that while he remains committed to civilian space travel “we are not going to push on blindly.”

In grim remarks at the Mojave Air and Space Port, where the craft known as SpaceShipTwo was under development, Branson gave no details of Friday’s accident and deferred to the National Transportation Safety Board, whose team had just arrived.

The pilot killed in the test flight was identified Saturday as Michael Tyner Alsbury, 39, of nearby Tehachapi. The surviving pilot is Peter Siebold, 43, who parachuted to safety and was hospitalized.

More than a dozen investigators in a range of specialties will examine the crash site, collect data and interview witnesses, NTSB Acting Chairman Christopher A. Hart told a news conference at Mojave Air and Space Port.

Nigerian extremist says kidnapped girls married MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – With a malevolent laugh, the leader of Nigeria’s Islamic extremists told the world that more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls have all been converted to Islam and married off, dashing hopes for their freedom.

“If you knew the state your daughters are in today, it might lead some of you ... to die from grief,” Abubakar Shekau sneers, addressing the parents of the girls and young women kidnapped from a remote boarding school more than six months ago.

In a video released late Friday night, the Boko Haram leader denies there is a cease-fire with the Nigerian government and threatens to kill an unidentified German hostage.

“Don’t you know we are still holding your German hostage [who is] always crying,” he

taunts. “If we want, we will hack him or slaughter him or shoot him.”

A German development worker was kidnapped at gunpoint in Gombi in July. Police reported he was ambushed as he drove to work.

Burkina Faso appoints new transitional leader OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso – Burkina Faso’s army appointed a military colonel as transitional leader on Saturday, it said, after the West African country’s president resigned from 27 years in office amid violent protests against his continued power.

Lt. Col. Isaac Yacouba Zida was unanimously appointed by the army to lead Burkina Faso, the army said. “The period of transition” and its “form and duration will be determined later,” said the declaration that was drafted and signed after senior officers met with the joint chief of staff Saturday.

Blaise Compaore resigned Friday after protesters stormed parliament and set the building ablaze following two days of violent demonstrations against his bid to amend the constitution to stand next year for another term. His move left the impoverished West African country in a state of uncertainty, and both Joint Chief of Staff Gen. Honore Traore and Zida had made remarks they were in power.

5 dead, 1 critically injured in Maine house fire PORTLAND, Maine – Fire swept through an apartment house near the University of Southern Maine’s commuter campus Saturday, killing five people and critically injuring one, authorities said. It was unclear if any of the victims were students. The fire, which gutted the three-story, 94-year-old structure, followed a Halloween party the night before. The building housed two apartments.

Initial reports also said several people were unaccounted for, but nobody was missing.

Report says 60K vets got triple benefits last year

By MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Nearly 60,000 veterans were triple dippers last year, drawing a total of $3.5 billion in military retirement pay plus veterans and Social Security disability benefits at the same time, congressional auditors report.

It’s all legal.

The average payment was about $59,000, but about 2,300 veterans, or 4 percent of the total, received concurrent payments of $100,000 or more, the Government Accountability Office said.

The highest payment was to a veteran who received $208,757 in combined payments in 2013.

Some lawmakers say the report shows the need for better coordination among government programs that are facing severe financial constraints.

The Social Security Disability Insurance trust fund could run out of money in as soon as two years, government officials say.

“We should fulfill our promises to the men and women who serve, but we need to streamline these duplicative programs,” said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who requested the study.

Veterans groups disagree.

They say the retirement money was earned for years of service in the military, while disability payments are compensation for service-related injuries and wounds.

In most cases, veterans who receive a combination of benefits are severely disabled.

About 4 in 5 veterans who got triple payments had a disability rating of at least 50 percent, the GAO said. Nearly half of those receiving triple payments were at least 60 years old.

Louis Celli Jr., a Washington representative for the American Legion, said critics of the multiple benefits are “misguided and uninformed.”

He said the report “should simply be filed in the category of one of Sen. Coburn’s parting shots to loyal upstanding American patriots who have sacrificed so much for this

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., speaks July 9 on Capitol Hill in Washington. country.”

Coburn, a longtime critic of government spending, is retiring at the end of the year. He said in an interview that the report raises legitimate questions about whether disability benefits are getting to those who truly need them.

“This is billions of dollars a year in duplicative payments,” Coburn said. “We ought to reassess and say, ‘Are we doing more than take care of people in need?’ I’m not against the military. I don’t think they should be triple dipping.”

Most Americans would find it hard to understand how someone making $86,000 a year in tax-exempt VA income qualifies for Social Security Disability Insurance, when civilian workers are disqualified from the program if they make as little as $13,000 a year, Coburn said.

Only 17 percent of those who received multiple forms of compensation had suffered a combat-related disability, according to the GAO. Veterans have long been exempted from rules that deny Social Security benefits to anyone with other income exceeding $13,000 a year.

But until the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, veterans were barred from receiving both military retirement pay and Department of Veterans Affairs’ disability benefits. Under a Civil War-era statute, the Pentagon docked retirement pay dollar-for-dollar up to the amount of disability benefits from the VA.

With bipartisan support, Congress changed that law in 2002, gradually restoring military retirement pay to veterans also drawing disability benefits from the VA. “Our nation’s status as the world’s only superpower is largely due to the sacrifices our veterans made in the last century,” Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in March 2002 when the bill was being debated.

“Rather than honoring their commitment and bravery by fulfilling our obligations, the federal government has chosen to perpetuate this longstanding injustice,” Reid said. “Quite simply, this is disgraceful and we must correct it.”

At the time, then-Sen. John Warner, R-Va., a former Navy secretary, posed a question to fellow senators: “How can we ask the men and women who have so faithfully served to sacrifice a portion of their retirement because they are also receiving compensation for an injury suffered while serving their country?”

Warner acknowledged that the change would have “significant cost,” but added; “Is the cost too high? I think not.”

About 3 percent of the nation’s 1.9 million military retirees collect all three benefits, the GAO said.

The report did not recommend changes to the program.

The VA said in a response that it “generally agrees” with the report’s conclusions. Social Security officials did not comment.

Government hands on Roth IRAs? Dear Mr. Berko: I’m 69 and retired, and I have an individual retirement account worth $628,000. Fortunately, we don’t need the income from the IRA to support our living expenses.

And because I have a $176,000 tax-loss carryforward from a business that went bust a decade ago, my broker suggested I convert my traditional IRA to a Roth IRA and use the carryforward to pay the taxes.

If I did that, I would make the beneficiaries our grandkids, who could enjoy the continued stock growth and stretch the Roth payments over their much longer lifetimes. Because their parents are “financial stupids” (your words), I need to change the investment mix to some Standard & Poor’s 500 index funds and several no-load mutual funds. I would appreciate your recommendations. – BR, Erie, Pa. Dear BR: Fire that brokster, who is a blithering, brain-dead idiot and dangerous to your wealth. He should have “stupidity” branded on his forehead in large letters. You can’t use a tax-loss carryforward to pay those taxes ... yet.

Leaving a Roth IRA for your grandkids to grow tax-free over your lifetime and theirs is an expialidocious idea. Many folks have Roth IRAs because unlike the case with traditional IRAs, they’re not required to take distributions at age 70½. As of today, a Roth IRA can still remain untouched throughout your lifetime, even if you live to be older than Methuselah, and the income is tax-free.

Today, those who inherit an IRA (Roth or traditional) can stretch those payments over their lifetime. This permits most of an inherited Roth to

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko continue growing tax-free for your grandkids.

But that old gray mare ain’t what she used to be, and that old Roth IRA we believed to be sacrosanct and immune to change may soon be corrupted by our government’s insatiable greed for money. There are two proposals in the 2015 budget that are likely to be passed and may toss a grenade into many estate plans.

1) Next year, all Roth owners might be required to take distributions at age 70½.

So if you’re moderately healthy with a normal life span, your Roth might be significantly depleted when you pass away.

2) The Obama administration wants to eliminate the ability of nonspousal IRA beneficiaries to stretch their distributions. This means that the assets of nonspousal beneficiaries of inherited IRAs must be fully distributed within five years of the owner’s passing.

Certain beneficiaries would be exempt, but the language identifying their status (the specifics are silent concerning children, grandchildren or other family members) is unclear. Seeing as there may be no “stretch” available, it doesn’t make sense to convert to a Roth and pay the taxes for 2014, because the deferral rate when you die could be limited to five years.

But consider yourself lucky, because other changes are a-comin’ to finance the numerous new government initiatives, including the Affordable

Care Act. While the income from your Roth is currently not taxable, Congress might impose some kind of teensy excise tax on Roth distributions beginning in 2016.

Some of us may recall when Hillary Clinton, in 1994, tried to pass her plan for universal health care. It was suggested then that the government could pay for a large portion of the costs by taxing this country’s greatest and last nontaxed asset, the American retirement plan. There were proposals floating between Congress and the White House about 1) taxing an employer’s annual contribution to all retirement plans and 2) taxing, at a reduced rate, the annual investment gains in our retirement plans.

This Golconda is a treasure-trove of untapped wealth and could be a superb source of new tax revenues for our Congress. The combined value of America’s qualified retirement accounts at the end of 2013 – IRAs, pensions, 401(k) plans, defined-benefit plans, federal and state plans, and annuities – was more than $22 trillion.

This is an alluring stash that Congress won’t be able to resist as it strives to pay for our growing social programs.

(Remember that Social Security income was not taxable until 1984.) And most members of Congress would prefer to tax our retirement plans as an alternative to a value-added tax that’s been proposed by their colleagues.

Jack Riley of the Sportsmen group presented a check to Jim Mullins, President and CEO of UCP.

Sportsmen donate to UCP THE HERALD–NEWS In 1996, Jack Riley of Cardinal Transport organized a group of businessmen from Grundy and Will counties with a common interest in outdoor sports and a desire to help individuals with disabilities. The group evolved into Sportsmen for Charity and later became known as Sportsmen for UCP. Since the inception, the mission of the group has focused on children and young adults. The early years generated revenue through events, such as golf outings, shooting events and raffles, according to a news release from the organization.

Annual fundraising events held since 1999 have provided

about $900,000 to United Cerebral Palsy of Illinois Prairieland and $100,000 to other local charitable organizations.

Proceeds of the events held in 2012 and 2013 ($156,000) were targeted to assist UCP in its purchase and installation of the first fully handicapped-accessible playground in Illinois. This year’s Sportsmen for Charity XIII event held May 30 at Cardinal Transport’s banquet facility in Coal City. The event was the group’s best effort to date, netting $95,000. Sportsmen presented the check to UCP at its dinner held Aug. 28 at the Morris Country Club. For information on UCP programs and events, call 815-744-3500, or visit www.ucpilprairieland.org.

OPINION

31 The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, November 2, 2014

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

OUR VIEW: ENDORSEMENTS

In favor of local park district referendums Our editorial board decided in September that we were could not at this time devote the proper amount of time to confidently make an educated endorsement in most of the races on Tuesday’s ballot – and we didn’t want to undertake such an important task if we couldn’t do it right.

Many of us are still new to the Joliet region and are still learning about this area and what our readers care about. It would have been wrong for us to pretend we know enough about every race on the ballot to make an educated, engaging recommendation on how our readers should vote.

We decided, given Illinois’ dire fiscal situation, that we would endorse in the governor’s race. After careful consideration of the referendums on the ballot, we decided to weigh in on three park district referendums that Will County residents will see on Tuesday’s ballot.

JOLIET PARK DISTRICT We are in favor of this referendum, which is asking for $19.5 million to be used on capital improvements throughout the district, including a new field house on the East Side, an indoor training facility at Inwood, improvements to 22 of the district’s 74 parks and facilities, security improvements, lighting improvements at Memorial Stadium, road and infrastructure improvements at Pilcher Park and tree restoration.

We know requesting homeowners to pay more in taxes – even a small amount – is a lot to ask. But everyone will benefit from a small investment each taxpayer would make if this is approved.

The average taxpayer would pay $20 to $21 more per year, per $100,000 of assessed value of property, on top of what they are paying now to the park district.

The median value of owner-occupied housing units from 2008-2012 in Joliet was $181,300, according to the Census Bureau.

Better parks lead to increased house values. It leads to more pride in the community. And the park district scaled back it’s plan – from nearly $21 million to $19.5 million – after community surveys didn’t show support for some of the proposed projects. It’s refreshing to see a governmental body seek out – and then actually listen to – input from the community.

There is a recognizable effort in the Joliet area to improve the city.

You see it in the plans to revitalize the downtown business district, or in efforts to increase tourism through capitalizing on attractions like Route 66. The Park District is trying to do the same thing through this referendum.

Combined, these various efforts can and will make for a more attractive Joliet.

We endorse this referendum.

See ENDORSEMENTS, page 33

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE To the Editor: Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, has laid out the agenda if he and the Republicans win control of the Senate. First, they want to repeal the Affordable Care Act, thereby removing many children from their parents’ health insurance, bringing back pre-existing conditions as a basis to refuse coverage, and taking insurance away from millions of people.

Second, they want to remove the regulations of financial organizations that were put in place to prevent another disaster like that of 2008. The implications of are obvious. And third, they want to cut the legs out from under the new consumer protection agency, thereby removing the only protection we have against unscrupulous business practices.

None of these will benefit the American people as a whole , but all of them will benefit the richest Americans and those huge corporations that have wreaked

such havoc on this country.

This is the Republican agenda.

Does it sound like something you want? Think about it when you vote on Tuesday.

Charles Teeter Plainfield

SUPPORT PARK DISTRICT REFERENDUM To the Editor: Over 90 years ago the people of Joliet had the foresight and saw the need for parks and recreation and formed the Joliet Park District. As you look around Joliet you can see wonderful parks located in all areas of our city, unfortunately many of our parks have fallen into disrepair.

Under the current system the Park District can only afford to update and repair one to two parks per year. The referendum that is presented provides a unique opportunity to upgrade 22 parks, located throughout the entire city.

I know that this will be a difficult decision for some, but I urge

you to vote on behalf of the referendum. Continue the legacy that was started over 90 years ago.

I believe that we owe it not only for ourselves and our children but to the future generations that will call Joliet home, please vote yes!

Michael Trafton Joliet

ABSTINENCE DOESN’T REQUIRE A PRESCRIPTION To the Editor: On the Nov. 4 election ballot, there is a state advisory question: “Shall any health insurance plan in Illinois that provides prescription drug coverage be required to include prescription birth control as part of that coverage?” You can vote either yes or no.

What happened to the birth control method of abstinence? It doesn’t require a prescription.

Herald-News backing New Lenox, Mokena park district referendums • ENDORSEMENTS Continued from page 31 NEW LENOX PARK DISTRICT New Lenox park officials want to maintain the district’s tax rate at roughly .06 cents of taxing authority. That increase is scheduled to end in 2015, but the park district wants to keep the rate as is to pay for capital and

neighborhood projects.

While we understand it would be great for New Lenox residents to see a little bit of relief on their tax bills, the district isn’t asking for more money. It’s asking for the same amount it has been collecting, and it will use that money to continue to improve parks so it can provide better programming for residents.

We endorse this

Support

referendum.

MOKENA PARK DISTRICT The Mokena Community Park District is asking for a $6 million bond issue to finance expansion of the Oaks Recreation and Fitness Center, as well as make improvements to the Yunker Farm Park.

District officials have said the bond issue would not

increase property taxes. They have noted they have good bond interest rates, a fantastic financial rating and interest in capital projects from residents. Officials have had to turn away residents from programs because there isn’t enough room, specifically at Yunker Farm Park.

The funds would be used to restore the farm building at Yunker, and create new

amenities like a water splash pad, a dog park and a band shell for concerts, among other items. It also would be used to expand the fitness center with another gym, two multi-purpose rooms, a longer walking track, more restrooms and increased parking.

All that, and it won’t increase taxes? We endorse this referendum.

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES Crest Hill DACA recipient is Joliet Junior College student trustee

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent

J

OLIET – Like most teenagers, Brian Herrera of Crest Hill couldn’t wait to get his drivers’ license when he turned 16.

He was ready for freedom, responsibility and the opportunity to earn some money with a job.

In the process, Herrera uncovered devastating news – he was an undocumented immigrant. His parents had brought him into this country illegally when he was a baby.

Herrera didn’t have a Social Security card and couldn’t get one. He couldn’t get a driver’s license. He couldn’t work.

“I did not feel like a human being,” Herrera said.

“My world came crashing down. I had no one to look up to or to help me.”

Herrera agonized at the thought that he might never amount to much.

Everything changed in 2012 when Herrera became a Joliet Junior College political science student.

About the same time, the Obama administration announced it would grant DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Herrera qualified and received the status.

Herrera is first DACA recipient to become a JJC student trustee, after being appointed in April to the oneyear term. Herrera also is first to bring student speakers to the board and the first to give a monthly report of board news to the Collegiate Club Council.

“Coming to JJC, I saw it was really important to take advantage of opportunities that were given,” Herrera said. “Being a student trustee means being a liaison between students and the board. I present what’s going on in student life to the board, and I also present

Brian Herrera is the first DACA recipient to become a Joliet Junior College student trustee. what’s going on with the board to the students.”

One thing that surprised Herrera as student trustee, he said, is seeing how much the board of trustees really cared about the students.

That knowledge, he said, empowered him.

“I thought that being at the top meant that they would have no regard for those below,” Herrera said, “but that’s not true. Their main concern is student success. Everything they do is about that.”

Getting involved on campus has helped Herrera develop leadership skills, he said, which will serve him in his eventual career as a lawyer.

It’s also a great way to connect with people, he added, and to network for future jobs.

One of his goals as trustee is to make sure students know about all the opportunities available to them on campus. JJC has a lot of resources for students, he said, and they can make adjusting to college a lot smoother.

A good adviser in the college’s Office of Multicultural Student Affairs and The Peer Mentor Program especially helped him his first year, he said.

“My mentor helped me work on my weaknesses, which were procrastinating and studying,” he said.

Herrera also participates

in several other campus organizations, including the Latinos Unidos, in which he is president; the JJC Student Government; the Peer Mentor Program; the Collegiate Council; and the Black Student Union.

He also participates in Brother2Brother, the International Student Club, the psychology club and G.L.O.W. (Gay Lesbian or Whatever), according to information supplied by JJC. “I realized I can be somebody,” Herrera said. “I’ll jump over any obstacles and climb any walls. I hope to be a role model. I would like to empower others who had so many obstacles and walls.”

According to information

supplied by JJC, Herrera grew up in Chicago. His family moved to Crest Hill in 2009.

As a student at Lockport Central High School, Herrera didn’t have a clear ideas for his adult life.

Herrera now plans to graduate from JJC in May 2015, and then transfer to Governors State University to make his dreams of becoming a lawyer true.

As a lawyer specializing in immigration law, Herrera’s plan is to fight for the rights of minorities and the under-represented. But his immediate goal is to help students.

“I want to be the person I wish I met growing up,” Herrera said.

Tibble injured as Oswego ousts West

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, November 2, 2014

44

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com OSWEGO – Joliet West was moving the ball well.

Thanks to Alex Tibble’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Henderson, The Tigers had just drawn into a 7-7 tie with favored Oswego in Saturday night’s Class 8A opening-round playoff game.

The packed West stands had the collective feeling. Maybe, just maybe, the Tigers could pull this off and win in their first-ever playoff game.

But on the play before Tibble’s touchdown pass, the unthinkable happened. The quick junior quarterback, whose play all season was vital to the Tigers reaching this point, slipped and suffered a left ankle injury. He did not return after the TD pass.

Senior Mitch Dolak filled in and did an admirable job. But before he was able to get the Tigers’ offense rolling at all, Oswego had tacked on 17 more points en route to a 24-7 halftime lead.

The Panthers (9-1) went on to finish off a 31-7 victory and advance to a second-round game at Bolingbrook. West (5-5) exits with the satisfaction of knowing it was the first playoff team in school history, and wondering might have been.

“I guarantee it would have been a different game had Alex not gotten hurt,” West coach Jason Aubry said. “He tweaked something when he slipped on the play before the touchdown.

When he came over to the sidelines, he tried to do some things, but he couldn’t go.

“But that’s football. There are injuries. They’re part of the game.”

Any hopes the Tigers had of getting back in the game in the third evaporated in a hurry thanks to a holding call that wiped out Brenton Thompson’s long run to near midfield.

That drive then disintegrated into a fourth-and-27 at the West 4-yard line, and Kyle Kopchak’s punt was blocked. That was Oswego’s second block of the night. The first, on Tibble’s attempted punt in the first quarter, resulted in the Panthers’ 2-yard touchdown drive.

AREA FOOTBALL SCOREBOARD SATURDAY’S RESULTS CLASS 8A Oswego 31, Joliet West 7 Bolingbrook 35, Bloom 0 CLASS 7A Providence 45, Quincy 8 Normal Community 42, Plainfield North 34 CLASS 6A Lemont 28, Thornton 0 CLASS 5A JCA 48, St. Laurence 13 Morris 21, Normal U-High 14 FRIDAY’S RESULTS CLASS 7A Lincoln-Way East 42, Lincoln-Way Central 7 St. Rita 35, Plainfield East 21 CLASS 6A Lincoln-Way West 28, Morgan Park 0 CLASS 4A Coal City 40, Mendota 14 CLASS 3A Wilmington 49, Paxton-Buckley-Loda 7

This time, they took it in from the 8 for a 31-7 lead.

Dolak then engineered a long drive that carried from the West 19 to the Oswego 1, with a 31-yard Dolak-to-Henderson pass setting up the scoring opportunity. The Tigers picked up five first downs in the march, their first five since Tibble’s exit. But after Dolak’s 6-yard keeper set up a second-and-goal at the 1-yard line, West failed to punch it in.

For all practical purposes that was the game. But what this team accomplished was not lost on its fan base, particularly the “Wild West” cheering section “We still love you, we still love you,” they chanted as the final second ticked off.

Tibble left having completed 5 of 10 passes for 65 yards and having rushed for 27 yards in seven carries Dolak completed 3 of 9 passes for 54 yards.

Thompson was a work horse, rushing for 57 yards in 22 carries. Henderson caught five passes for 63 yards and Collin Brown three for 34.

“I guarantee it would have been a different game had Alex (Tibble) not gotten hurt.”

Jason Aubry Joliet West coach

The Tigers, however, needed the punch Tibble could supply. After an interception by Meekah Ben-Israel set up the drive to the tying touchdown, Oswego need only two plays, both pass completions from quarterback Steven Frank, to go 51 yards and back into the lead 14-7. The Panthers added a field goal and another touchdown before the half ended.

So West’s first journey to the state playoffs ended in the disappointment of an injury to a quarterback who meant so much to the Tigers’ success all season long.

As Aubry said, however, injuries are an unfortunate part of the game.

“They’re [Montini] a good team. We’ve got to come out here and play 100 percent every play and take care of business,” Joliet Catholic running back Nick Borgra said.

The Hilltoppers (8-2) took the opening kickoff and drove it 72 yards in 14 plays, all of them running, before Drew Voss ran it in from the 2-yardline. Brian Bravo’s extra point made it, 7-0. The scoring drive consumed 6:34 of the clock.

The flood gates opened for the Joliet Catholic offense after that score.

Borgra needed 13 seconds to put the Hilltoppers ahead 14-0 with 2:28 to play in the first quarter when he scored on a 67-yard run.

Joliet Catholic Academy Nick Borgra scores a touchdown run against St. Laurence in the Class 5A first round playoff on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Joliet. the next Joliet Catholic score when he intercepted Vikings quarterback Tim Delaney and returned it 49 yards to the St. Laurence 4-yard line.

Michael Johnson scored from the 1-yard line two plays later to make it, 21-0, with 49 seconds to play in the first quarter.

Defensive end Joe Frescura recovered a Delaney fumble on St. Laurence’s next possession. Frescura, who added two sacks of Delaney in the first half and one in the

second half, put Joliet Catholic in business at the St. Laurence 12-yard line.

Quarterback Cameron Behymer, who worked in with Johnson at quarterback, found Jacob Elliotton the next play for a touchdown strike to make it, 28-0, with 39 seconds to play in the first quarter.

Cade Earl, the Hilltoppers’ starting quarterback, sat out with a lower body injury. Joliet Catholic is hoping to have him back against Montini.

back Harold Davis scored from the 3-yard-line on the Hilltoppers’ first possession of the second quarter to make it 34-7. St. Laurence (5-5) scored when Delaney found receiver Carlos Baker wide open for a 71-yard scoring strike.

The Hilltoppers finished the first half scoring when Borgra ran it in from the 4-yard line to make it, 41-7, at halftime. Borgra finished the scoring with a 21-yard run in the third quarter.

Joliet Catholic rushed for 293 yards in the first half, led by Borgra’s 123 yards on nine carries while Davis had 74 yards on three carries. St. Laurence had 96 yards of total offense in the first half.

Borgra finished with 144 yards rushing and Davis with 91 yards rushing.

The Hilltoppers added two turnovers in the second half when defensive back Bill Rotnicki intercepted two passes.

“Obviously, we have Montini next week so we’re hoping to carry this performance over,” Rotnicki said.

Joliet Catholic coach Dan Sharp is happy with where his team is at as it heads into

next week’s clash with the Broncos. Montini knocked Joliet Catholic out of the playoffs in 2012 and 2013 and beat the Hilltoppers in state finals contests in 2009 and 2011.

“The nice thing is we have four guys who can run the ball. Maybe, we don’t throw as much, but where our balance comes in is in who is getting the ball. We’re able to mix it up pretty good,” Sharp said.

“Cade is our guy. We’re very hopeful he’s back this week. But we have things we can go to. With Michael (Johnson) at quarterback in the Hillcat, he’s given us an offense. Cam’s worked very hard, and when he’s been given the opportunity he’s made the best of it. Montini has to look at all three things and prepare for all of them.

“Everything has to go up another notch. The intensity, the intelligence, and we can’t have penalties or turnovers because they are a quality football team. If our defense is playing that well and we’re kicking the ball the way we’re kicking it, it will keep us in the game and give us a chance,” Sharp said.

IHSA CLASS 5A FIRST ROUND PLAYOFFS: MORRIS 21, NORMAL U-HIGH 14

Redskins knock off undefeated Normal U-High

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com NORMAL – If a 5-4 team is going to beat a 9-0 team in the IHSA football playoffs, two things have to happen. The 5-4 team has to have things go its way, and it has to show no fear.

Morris was that 5-4 team Saturday against Normal U-High in the Class 5A first round, and the Redskins showed no fear from the start and forced things to go their way late in the game. As a result, they pulled off a 21-14 victory that gave them a home game next weekend against Mahomet-Seymour. Mahomet beat Washington, 27-6, on Saturday.

The Redskins (6-4) gave no-

tice early.

U-High received the opening kickoff and drove to the Morris 4-yard line. On fourth-and-goal from the 4, however, Morris’ T.J. Layne sacked U-High’s Nick Phelan for an 8-yard loss.

It was the first of three sacks for Layne, as well as numerous pressures.

“That was part of the game plan,” Layne said. “We wanted to put pressure on him and not let him get outside where he can run. We wanted to take him out of his comfort zone. Everyone on the defensive line did their jobs, and I was able to be the one to get there and get a couple of sacks.”

From their own 12-yard line,

the Redskins took just seven plays to cover 88 yards, all on the ground. Jake Walker scored on a 14-yard run, while the drive was highlighted by a 46yard burst from Keagan Sobol.

Morris finished with 333 yards rushing. Griffin Sobol led with 109 yards, while Keagan Sobol had 91 and Walker had 82 with two touchdowns.

“We just kept grinding it at them,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “We believe in these kids, and they believe in themselves. Confidencewise, you would never have known we were the 5-4 team. Our kids just believe.”

U-High scored late in the first half on a 13-yard run by

Niles Smith, but Matt Feiden blocked the extra point to help Morris take a 7-6 lead into halftime.

In the fourth quarter, with the score the same, Walker scored his second TD of the game, this one from four yards out, and Morris took a 14-6 lead with 9:59 to play. It was shortlived, however, as U-High executed a perfect hook-and-lateral play, with Sam Alvik taking the pitch and motoring 54 yards for a touchdown. The two-point conversion was good, and the game was tied at 14 with 9:38 to play.

Morris faced fourth-and-1 from its own 29 and lined up to punt, but had a trick of its own

up its sleeve when Joey Webb took a short snap and carried for four yards and a first down.

Morris marched down the field, and Feiden finished the drive off with a 19-yard burst up the middle with 3:08 to play.

U-High wasn’t done, however, and had the ball at the Morris 21 with 30 seconds remaining. Layne then sacked Phelan for a 12-yard loss and there was an intentional grounding penalty tacked on that moved U-High out of scoring position.

“Our defense played great,” Thorson said. “They kept us in it. There’s not one or two guys to single out. We play as a team, and we showed that today. Everyone did a great job.”

IHSA CLASS 7A FIRST ROUND PLAYOFFS: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 42, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 7

47

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 2, 2014

FRANKFORT – After leading Lincoln-Way Central football to its first playoff appearance since 2009, Hud Venerable realized his program still has a ways to go to get to the level of Lincoln-Way East, which has always played in the postseason.

The Griffins kicked off the Class 7A playoffs in a good fashion by winning, 42-7, over the Knights, who’ve now dropped 15 straight games in the original District 210 rivalry.

East (9-1), which has won nine straight this year beginning with its 23-15 victory over Central on Sept. 5, will host Reavis (8-2) next week. The Rams advanced with a 17-7 win over TF South on Friday.

“East has been down this road many, many times so they know what playoff football is like,” Venerable said. “This was our first time back in the playoffs, and you saw a little bit of that experience factor versus the inexperience factor.

You want to get in the playoffs and advance and not be happy just to get there. But from where we were at two years ago to being back in the playoffs, hopefully our program is moving in the right direction.”

East coach Rob Zvonar played for Venerable at Monticello and has worked with many of the Knights coaches, so he was quick to praise Central for returning to the playoffs.

“I consider coach Venerable, coach (Terry) McCombs, coach (Jason) DeWolf and coach (John) Karales like friends and family and they’ve come a long way in a short time with their guys,” said Zvonar, whose program won its 11thstraight playoff opener.

“I was happy with the way the first quarter went with our offense going against the wind and basically having the ball for a good chunk of that quarter. They had the wind and we held them to zero, so that was a positive. Then we got a defensive touchdown to get things

After limiting Central (5-5) to just five plays while it had the wind during the first quarter, East forced a three-and-out before taking the lead for good on the Knights’ next series.

Brad Toepfer recorded the first of his two sacks of Connor Campbell, and Dan Cooper picked up the loose football and returned it 30 yards to put East up for good.

“I just try to do what I can,” Toepfer said. “I saw an opportunity and took it, and Dan Cooper got into the endzone, and that was great. I came in untouched, and that doesn’t happen often, so it felt good. I definitely think that we have a special group, and once we’ve gotten our wheels rolling, we’re definitely a force to be reckoned with.”

The Griffins grabbed a 14-0 lead a short time later when Mike Weller pulled in a high snap and carried it 2 yards on a keeper with 4:14 left in the first

half.

However, Central answered quickly, moving downfield on just four plays to pull to within 14-7 when Campbell ran in from 20 yards out on a keeper.

East regained the momentum, though, as it scored with just six seconds left in opening half when Weller (15 of 29 passing, 216 yards) tossed a a 5-yard pass to Jeremy Nelson.

In the third quarter, Toepfer, Lee Lieser and Kyle Keuch all intercepted passes and the Griffins capitalized by scoring three touchdowns within a 1:45 span to end the drama.

Liam Morrissey (38 rushes, 191 yards) followed up on Lieser’s pickoff by scoring on a 55-yard run. He scored from a yard out after Keuch just missed out on a pick-six.

Weller completed the scoring when he threw a 48-yard pass to Brandon Bauer.

“It was awesome,” Morrissey said. “Our defense really had our back the whole time but eventually wed kept going and kept the momentum

going. I owe everything to my line and there the whole reason that I have every yard that I have, so I can’t thank them enough.”

East owned a 444-215 advantage in total yards, including

228-68 on the ground. Top tacklers included Central’s Brandon Dominski, Marc Veihl, Justin Strilko, Jake Dudeck, Sean Kelly and Bryan Ditchman and East’s Jayison McCorkle.

Celtics offense scores early and often

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, November 2, 2014

By KEVIN RYAN Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – Providence Catholic began its pursuit of the Class 7A title by cruising past Quincy, 45-8, on Saturday in an opening-round game.

The Celtics (9-1) began their scoring spree on the first drive of the game. After a 60yard punt return touchdown

by Michael Madej was called back because of a holding penalty, senior quarterback Justin Hunniford (21 of 30 passing for 292 yards) found junior receiver Mike Markasovic for an 11-yard gain to put the Celtics on the Blue Devils’ 1-yard line. On the next play, senior running back Sean Diehl (11 carries, 59 yards) scored the first of his three touchdowns to put the Celtics up, 7-0.

“Sean had a good game,” Celtics coach Mark Coglianese said. “He responded and he does a good job. He finds holes, runs low and runs hard.”

After forcing Quincy (5-5) to one of its six three-andouts, the Celtics quickly drove down the field as Hunniford threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Nate Vejvoda to take a 14-0 lead.

The scoring didn’t stop there for Hunniford and Ve-

“With Justin [at the controls, he does a good job of spreading the ball around and

getting the ball to different receivers,” Coglianese said. “If he’s under a little bit of pressure, he finds ways to see open lanes and find guys down the field.”

On the ensuing kickoff, Quincy’s returner fumbled

as junior Tyler Schiemann pounced on the ball at the Blue Devils’ 26-yard line. Hunniford then found Markasovic on a 6-yard touchdown pass to put the Celtics up 28-0.

Things continued to go Providence’s way on Quin-

cy’s next drive, as senior Erik Carroll picked off Blue Devils quarterback George Crickard IV. The interception put the Celtics on their own 49-yard line, and seven plays later, Diehl scored on a 7-yard run up the middle that gave the Celtics a 35-0 advantage.

“We did what we normally do, we just stayed with our keys and game plan early,” Diehl said.

To cap off the Celtics scoring attack, junior kicker PJ Kowalkowski put a 29-yard field goal through the uprights and Diehl scored on an 8-yard run to make it, 45-0.

The Blue Devils moved the chains for the first time in the third quarter, followed by a 44-yard touchdown pass from Crickard to senior Brady Brockmiller.

Now as Providence moves onto the second round, it will turn its attention to St. Rita.

The Celtics defeated the Mustangs, 41-27, in Week 5 of this year, but Coglianese knows this upcoming game means more.

“We have to go on the road and back to St. Rita,” Coglianese said. “We were there earlier this year and fortunate enough to win there during the regular season, but now, there’s more at stake.”

IHSA CLASS 7A FIRST ROUND PLAYOFFS: NORMAL COMMUNITY 42, PLAINFIELD NORTH 34

Late surge by the Ironmen dooms Tigers

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com NORMAL – A miraculous comeback in a football playoff game is something that lives on forever in the lore of the school that wins. For the school that doesn’t, however, it’s a game it can’t forget soon enough.

Such was the case Saturday night, when Normal Community rallied from a 13-point deficit with 3:37 remaining to beat Plainfield North 42-34. The win ends the Tigers season with a 6-4 record and still in search of the school’s first playoff win.

That win seemed in the bag when running back Zack Shelton scored from two yards out to make it, 34-21, with 3:37 left.

Normal (8-2) had other ideas, however.

Quarterback Josh Kirsenbaum hit Christian Wey on a quick slant, and Wey split the Plainfield North defense, going 54 yards for a touchdown with 2:48 to go to make it, 34-28.

Normal Community recovered the ensuing onside kick, but before it went the required 10 yards, and Plainfield North took over. After three carries

by Shelton, the Tigers faced

fourth-and-2. Normal stuffed the Tigers’ fourth-down play and took over at its own 36 with 1:46 to play.

After getting a first down, Kirshenbaum threw to Steven Townes in the left flat. Townes made a couple of Tigers miss and was off to the races for a 35-yard TD, and the extra point kick made it, 35-34, with 1:02 to play.

North drove to the Normal 35-yard line, but Wey intercepted a pass and returned it 75 yards to provide the final score with 21 seconds to play.

“If tough losses build char-

acter, then our kids ought to have plenty of character,” Plainfield North coach Tim Kane said. “We’ve had some tough losses this year, and this was another one. Give credit to Normal Community. They played very well in the second half. We were just one play short on either side of the ball.”

The first half was all North, as Quentin Hoosman went ballistic. The Tigers running back had touchdown runs of 51, 61 and 27 yards and was a yard shy of having a 96-yard TD run as he was brought down at the 1-yard line. He finished the first

half with 299 yards on 21 carries and finished with 340 on 31 attempts. On the 31st attempt, however, he went down awkwardly and had to be helped off the field and did not return.

“Zack Shelton did a nice job,” Kane said. “We scored on the drive that Quentin got hurt.

But when you lose a player that has gained over 2,000 yards for you, it makes a difference.

“We played very well defensively in the first half. But then Normal Community got into a groove. You can’t turn the ball over the way we did against a team like that.”

IHSA CLASS 7A FIRST ROUND PLAYOFFS: ST. RITA 35, PLAINFIELD EAST 21

• Sunday, November 2, 2014

PLAINFIELD – For Plainfield East to succeed in Friday night’s Class 7A state football playoff opening-round game against Chicago Catholic Blue power, St. Rita, the Bengals knew they had to play virtually mistake-free.

That didn’t happen. East, on the short end of the field-position battle on the cold, windy night, lost a fumble, had a pass intercepted, took a 20-yard loss on an errant fourth-down punt snap and was penalized nine times for 92 yards, with a few of the flags absolute killers.

St. Rita took advantage of the gratuity to score a 35-21 victory. The Mustangs will entertain Providence for the second time this season in next weekend’s second round.

“Penalties killed us again,” East coach Mike Romeli said.

“That’s been our M.O. That’s on me. We have to get that fixed in the offseason.”

St. Rita (7-3) won the coin toss and chose to kick off with the stiff wind. The Mustangs seized early field position and scored on C.J. Weydeman’s 7-yard run with 7:51 left in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead.

East (7-3) got that score back late in the quarter. Senior Jake Mayon, who rushed for 133 yards in 23 carries, broke a 54-yard run to the St. Rita 12yard. After a holding penalty, the Bengals faced a fourth-and 22 at the 24. Quarterback Cole Kotopka hit Brandon Rivera on right sideline and Rivera’s determined run and dive barely got the first down. Mayon then scored to tie it 7.

“We left it all on the field,” Mayon said. “We had a great game plan and tried our best.

A couple of mistakes got us.”

St. Rita’s Tyre Lee, who rushed for 167 yards in 24 carries, broke a 55-yard scoring run early in the second quarter to give the Mustangs a 14-7 lead they would not relinquish.

Just before that score, St. Rita was lined up to punt into the wind on fourth-and-8 at its 34. But East was called for an illegal substitution, making it fourth-and-3, and the Mus-

“That was a lack of focus on the substitution penalty,” Romeli said. “We had a lot of bad penalties at times we couldn’t afford them.”

An East fumble on the first play of the subsequent possession led to St. Rita quarterback Scott Procter’s 26-yard run to make it 21-7.

“Our biggest concerns coming in were that they were from a tough conference and they’re a good team,” Romeli said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t make enough plays against them.”

The Bengals’ Robert Michalowicz recovered a St. Rita fumble midway through the second quarter and Kotopka hit Rivera with a 25-yard scoring pass on the next play to

make it 21-14.

It stayed that way until early in the fourth quarter, when St. Rita mounted a 43-yard touchdown drive for a 28-14 lead. Kotopka was intercepted by linebacker Michael Mitchell on East’s next possession, and things were slipping from the Bengals’ grasp.

“It wasn’t too bad throwing in this wind,” said Kotopka,who completed 15 of 32 for 182 yards. “On the interception, he [Mitchell] slid over

there and I didn’t wait long enough for a guy to clear.

“Another thing that hurt was we had some situations where we were in second-andshort and we wound up not making a first down.”

St. Rita’s final points came on a touchdown drive that was kept alive when, after Procter recovered a high snap for a 10yard loss, an East defender fell on him and drew a 15-yard personal foul call.

East’s final points came on

Kotopka’s 5-yard pass to Feras Hleihel with 1:27 left. The Bengals had a 317-250 advantage in total yards but could not overcome the mishaps.

Still, East has been in the playoffs two successive years and these seniors have left their mark.

“Most definitely we wanted to set this team up for success in the future,” Mayon said. “I 100 percent trust these juniors, these guys who are coming back.”

Running game leads Coalers past Trojans

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – During the course of the regular season, Jack Dibble was the workhorse for the Coal City offense.

So it should come as no surprise that Dibble, a 5-foot10, 185-pound senior, put the Coalers on his shoulders right from the start of Friday night’s Class 4A first round playoff against Mendota, a 40-14 Coalers victory.

Dibble took a handoff on the game’s first play from scrimmage and bolted through the line, cut to the left sideline and outran the Mendota defense for a 63-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead. It was just the beginning of Dibble’s 260-yard, five-touchdown performance.

“It was all the offensive line,” he said. “The coaches preach to us all the time to finish, but we also wanted to start strong and we were able to do that. That first play gave our defense the motivation to go out and get stops and gave the O-line motivation to keep blocking.”

Mendota answered with a 65-yard touchdown drive, then scored again to take a

14-7 lead late in the first quarter. The second quarter, however, belonged to Dibble and the Coalers.

After the Trojans’ second touchdown, Coal City quarterback Nick Micetich faked a handoff to Dibble and streaked 61 yards to the Trojan 19-yard line. A few plays later, Dibble went over from 3 yards out, but the conversion failed and Coal

City trailed, 14-13.

Mendota fumbled on the ensuing kickoff and Coal City’s Ryan Horrie recovered at the Trojans’ 24. On the sixth play of the drive, Dibble scored from 5 yards out, then came out as the holder on the kick.

He took the snap and ran to the right, finding the end zone for two more points and a 21-14 Coal City lead, which they took

into halftime.

“Our defense took a little while to get going,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said.

“Once we figured out what they were doing, we went back to basics and our guys did what they had to do. We pursued to the ball very well, especially after that first quarter.”

Dibble finished the half with 122 yards on 18 attempts

to go with his three touchdowns and 2-point conversion.

Midway through the third quarter, Micetich again faked a handoff to Dibble. With the Mendota defense flowing in DIbble’s direction, Micetich took off the other way and went the distance for a 43yard touchdown. The junior signal-caller finished with 120 yards on eight carries.

“Nick did a real good job of tucking the ball once in a while,” Onsen said. “That keeps the defense honest and they can’t key on Jack so much and it just opens things up more.”

On Mendota’s first play after Micetich’s touchdown, Junior Arias intercepted a pass that was tipped by both a Mendota receiver and Coal City defensive back Brad Littleton.

Arias’ play gave Coal City the ball at the Coalers’ 28-yard line. On the 10th play of the drive, Dibble sprinted 37 yards for his fourth touchdown.

His fifth came from 15 yards out on the Coalers’ next drive, providing the final score.

Coal City, which won its eighth straight home playoff game, will travel next weekend to Elgin St. Edward.

IHSA CLASS 3A FIRST ROUND PLAYOFFS: WILMINGTON 49, PAXTON-BUCKLEY-LODA 7

McWilliams leads Wildcats to win over Panthers

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent WILMINGTON – Seconds after the pregame festivities lit up the Wilmington skies, Wildcats senior tailback Nick McWilliams ignited his own fireworks display.

On the first play from scrimmage in the Wildcats’ Class 3A first round playoff game against Paxton-Buckley Loda, McWilliams raced 80 yards to give Wilmington a quick 7-0 lead, triggering a 49-7 victory.

McWilliams rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns, his 18th and 19th. The senior has rushed for 1,118 yards.

“A great victory for us tonight,” McWilliams said.

“The offensive line made great blocks on the 80-yard touchdown to open the game.

They blocked for me all night.

Our defense dominated the whole game. An entire team win for us.”

With Wilmington (10-0) ahead, 7-0 in the second quarter, the Wildcats’ defense struck. Senior Joe Mann’s sacked quarterback Brock Swanstrom, forcing a punt.

Junior Steve Smock blocked the punt and fellow junior Tyler Brimer returned it to the Paxton 1-yard line. McWilliams crashed in for a 14-0 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, Derek Kirchner’s fumble recovery led to senior Gavin Hawks’ 15-yard TD, making it 21-0. Hawks added 71 yards on five carries. Kirchner and senior Mason Del Angel each had two sacks.

“We play team defense here at Wilmington,” Kirchner said. “Coach [Jeff] Reents preaches that to us and we all executed tonight.”

Junior running back Nick Hawkins closed the Wildcats’ first-half scoring on a 6-yard run with 3:36 left in the half.

Hawkins rushed for 49 yards on eight carries.

Hawks recovered a Panther fumble on the sec-

ond-half kickoff, which led to senior quarterback Mason Southall’s 10-yard strike to Mann to make it, 35-0. Wildcats back-up quarterback Austin Headrick scored from the 1-yard line for a 42-0 lead with 1:22 left in the third quarter.

Paxton scored on a 35-yard fumble return by sophomore Luis Rodriguez. Wilmington senior Noah Dwyer closed the Wildcats’ scoring on a 28yard run. Senior kicker Jake Casillas was 7 for 7 on PATs. Paxton (5-5) had only 54 total yards of offense. Wilmington’s first-team defense held the Panthers to minus-18 yards rushing.

“This was a great team victory,” Del Angel said. “We all played great together on defense. We all worked really hard to get this far and I think if we continue to play well we can go a long way.”

Brimer added 38 yards on seven carries for Wilmington, which will travel to Monticello next week.

“This was a great allaround victory,” Reents said. “This was a very gratifying win, especially after we stumbled in the first round least year. Nick McWilliams got us started with his electrifying run on the first play from scrimmage. The defense was outstanding all night.”

Lincoln-Way West ‘D’ stuffs Morgan Park

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent

Nick Trolian Lincoln-Way West defensive end Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

said defensive end Nick Trolian, who had three of the five sacks against Morgan Park quarterback Jermaine Anderson. “It was a lot of coverage sacks. Our DBs played excellent.”

West’s big defensive series came midway through the second quarter, a goal-line stand that saw Anderson stopped for no gain on fourth down at the 1.

“It was desire,” Trolian said. “Nothing else. We said, ‘It’s right here, this is the season.’ That’s how it works.”

The defensive showing – seventh-seeded Morgan Park (6-4) was held to 176 yards and only 43 in the second half

– made it easier for West’s offense to attack. The front five of Bryan Brokop, Justin Witt, Simon Egner, Jake Heckler and Jack Zola led the way and tailback Gabe Montalvo (24 carries, 173 yards, 1 touchdown) and fullback Adam Knerr (11 carries, 78 yards, 2 touchdowns) took advantage.

Quarterback Connor Lowman, looking more like a seasoned veteran than a sophomore, scored the first touchdown for the second-seeded Warriors on a 5-yard run.

“The key was to come out fast, come out strong, hit them in the mouth,” Nebraska-bound junior Brokop said.

“We did that.”

Lincoln-Way East prepares to take the field for warmups before an IHSA Class 7A first round playoff game against Lincoln-Way Central Friday at Lincoln-Way East in Frankfort. East defeated Central, 42-7.

Montalvo’s 9-yard score finished a 10-play drive that opened the second half and made it 14-0. It gave the Warriors confidence.

“I couldn’t have done it without my linemen,” said Montalvo, who carried seven times for 44 yards in the series.

“They made wide-open holes for me.”

“It ate a lot of the quarter against the wind in the second half,” Ernst said. “We felt if we could do that, we’d be all right.

Our offensive line will beat up

on the linebackers. Our job’s easy.”

The success earned the Warriors (9-1) a second-round home date with Richards (19-1).

“This starts us off,” said Witt, who recently took a visit to Ohio State. “Knowing we only put up seven points (in the first half) really got us going. It motivated us.”

Knerr added the first of his two scores in the third quarter, a 2-yard plunge that capped a four-play drive to make it 21-0.

He added a 5-yard score with 4:49 to play.

IHSA CLASS 8A FIRST ROUND PLAYOFFS: BOLINGBROOK 35, BLOOM TOWNSHIP 0

Running game, defense springs Raiders to win over Trojans

By JEFF DEGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent CHICAGO HEIGHTS – Bolingbrook and Bloom Township football faced one another for the second year in a row, to open the Class 8A playoffs and with the same result, a 35-0 Raiders victory.

Fifth-seeded Bolingbrook (7-3) ran the ball to perfection, to the tune of 225 yards on 49 carries and three touchdowns to spoil fourth-seeded Bloom’s first home playoff game since 1988.

“We got after it today on the ground, we sustained drives, didn’t have to punt and it was a very good effort,” Raiders coach John Ivlow said. “We are

healthy, and that is probably our greatest asset we have moving forward.

The Raiders, who beat Bloom, 48-12, a year ago in the postseason, will host Oswego in the second round.

“We just have to study the opponent, put in the game plan and execute what we want to do,” Ivlow said.

The Bolingbrook defense limited Bloom (7-3) to one first down in the first half and only gave up 21 total yards on 22 plays to claim a 21-0 lead. It was the third shutout of the season for the Raiders.

On their first possession, following a three-and-out by Bloom, the Raiders marched 45 yards in 10 plays. Seven of those

plays saw running back Isaac Lane carry the ball with his final rush of the drive being a 7-yard touchdown. Lane ended the games with 28 carries for 165 yards and the one score.

“The defense did a great job,” Lane said. “We all work together well, and we still have work to do. We need to have a good week of practice and come

ready to play” The Raiders held Bloom to another three-and-out and then went on an 8-play drive that covered 37 yards, capped off by a 1-yard touchdown run by Julian Huff.

Tuf Borland caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Adam Klein with 5:42 to go in the first half to give the Raid-

ers a 21-0 lead at the break.

Bolingbrook took the opening second half kickoff and scored on a 28-yard touchdown pass from Klein to receiver Quincy Woods to make it, 28-0.

Woods caught three passes for 101 yards, one of which was a fingertip grab on a 61-yard hook-up from Klein.

Klein, the senior signal-caller had a stellar passing performance going 8 of 12 for 161 yards and two touchdowns.

Bolingbrook put the final touches on the victory with a 3-yard touchdown run by Neo Armstrong with 4:42 to play.

The touchdown by Armstrong completed the run of five touchdowns by five different players for the Raiders.

NEW LENOX – Much will be made of how Lincoln-Way West ran the football down Morgan Park’s throat on Friday night, and run it the Warriors did.

But, notwithstanding the effort of an offensive line that cleared holes with ruthless efficiency, the 28-0 victory in their first-round Class 6A playoff game was built on the effort of the defense, especially in the second half.

“The defense was outstanding,” West coach Dave Ernst said.

The grit shown on defense had nothing to do with the stiff north wind that froze spectators, hampered each team’s passing game and made kicking into the gale a comedy. It was just plain hard work.

“We’ve played in colder a couple of years ago at Rochelle, so we didn’t let it get to us,”

“It was desire. Nothing else. We said ‘It’s right here, this is the season.’ That’s how it works.”

Nagel finishes with 2 TDs as Indians win

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, November 2, 2014

By SCOTT EHLING Shaw Media Correspondent LEMONT – Lemont senior receiver Flynn Nagel made sure the Lemont football team didn’t take anything for granted as he caught seven passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns to lead top-seed Lemont over visiting Thornton, 28-0, in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs Saturday night.

The Indians defense also stepped up their game as they held the Wildcats to a mere 197 yards of total offense.

Quarterback Ryan Dawson (10 of 24, 161 yards, 2 touch-

downs, 1 rushing touchdown), Ryan Fejedelem (1 rush, 60 yards, touchdown) and Anthony Martin (22 carries, 66 yards) also had significant contributions for Lemont.

Thornton (5-5) was led by quarterback Michael Fuller (8 of 34, 117 yards passing) and running back Tionte McDaniel (15 carries, 33 yards).

The game was marred by three separate player ejections for Thornton. The first of which occurred when Nagel was hit while making a fair catch on a punt return late in the third quarter.

“It wasn’t the cleanest game,

but we kept it clean,” Nagel said. “We got the ‘W,’ and that is all that matters.”

Lemont (10-0) came into the game averaging just over 45 points a game while allowing only more than 10 points a game.

The Indians struck quickly as three plays into the game Fejedelem broke through the Wildcats defense for a 60-yard touchdown run that gave Lemont (10) an early 7-0 lead just 39 seconds into the game.

Dawson then connected with Nagel on a 33-yard touchdown pass to push the lead to 14-0 as time expired in the first

quarter.

“We have other kids as weapons, but I’m not sure if you’re ever going to be able to take him (Nagel) out of a game,” Lemont coach Bret Kooi said.

“He’s just that talented, but I know that people are going to try.”

The turning point in the game came when Nagel called for a fair catch at midfield for a punt return but Thornton’s Leslie Wilson tackled a defenseless Nagel hard, inciting the Lemont coaches, players and fans.

“Some teams might have taken a step back after some-

thing like that but not these guys,” Kooi said. “They all have a little chip to them. It’s a positive thing but if it’s not controlled it can be a negative thing. Our kids have grown and showed that they feed off of stuff like that.”

Nagel left the game briefly only to return three plays later to catch a 12-yard touchdown pass from Dawson and extend the Lemont lead to 21-0 with 1:53 left in the third quarter.

“It felt awesome to get back into the game and help the team out,” Nagel said. “I’m thankful and blessed that I was able to get back into the game.”

IHSA CLASS 3A BOYS SOCCER SECTIONAL FINAL: THORNTON TOWNSHIP 2, LOCKPORT 0

lected everything.

“As a set of individuals, we had a fantastic group to work with. Their character, their attitudes and personalities, they’re just great kids. And that kind of transferred over on the field. I think that they realized that their senior year was going to be a special year for them. The kids did a really nice job together, and they worked well as a team.”

The Porters had the wind at their backs in the opening half and had some good chances but they were unable to get the ball past Wildcats keeper Antonio Castro.

Jack Brassil was denied on an early header before Jakub Krawczyk returned the favor against Ricardo Estrada. Lockport kept up the pressure by

receiving good attempts from Jack Dilger, Vince Smithwick and Angelo DeMarco before Thornton (14-7-2) took the lead.

With more than 10 minutes left in the first half, Estrada lined a shot just inside of the post and the Wildcats maintained that lead after Brassil was halted on another header.

“It all boiled down to one game, and their team is good,” DeMarco said. “We had some mistakes but we did some good things, too, and we just couldn’t put the ball into the back of the net. We’ve known each other since we were 10, and I’m going to miss playing soccer with them. I’m hoping that the seniors inspired the younger kids to put in the effort.”

After Smithwick started

the final half with a short try and a free kick from just outside of the box which were both thwarted, Lockport put in an own goal and Thornton was in control.

After being part of two record-setting seasons in which the Porters won back-to-back conference titles, seeing their season end in the sectional final was a tough pill to swallow for a senior-oriented squad that has played together for a long time.

“We’ve been playing together forever and it’s really sad that we’re done, but we have a lot to be proud of,” Chris Monte said. “People actually care about soccer a little bit now.

Obviously, we’ll keep in touch, and I hope that we keep playing for fun.”

Zajkowski’s late TD pass helps Siena Heights rally past St. Francis SUBMITTED REPORT JOLIET – St. Francis football held the lead for more than 54 minutes, but Siena Heights scored a late touchdown to claim a 19-14 MidStates Football Association Mideast League win Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Making its final home appearance, the Fighting Saints (4-5, 1-4) logged 188 yards of total offense and a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter

against a Siena Heights squad that entered the game ranked second in the NAIA in total defense.

On its opening possession, St. Francis traveled 79 yards on six plays and took the early lead when backup quarterback Mitch Brozovich broke loose for an 18-yard run.

The Saints then launched a nine-play, 80-yard drive late in the period, taking a 14-0 lead when starting signal caller Trace Wanless connected with

wideout Sheldon Magee on a 35-yard touchdown strike.

Wanless rushed for 69 yards on only four carries and was 6-for-10 passing for 79 yards before leaving the game with an injury early in the second quarter.

From that point on, the Saints managed only 100 yards of total offense and were unable to penetrate Siena Heights territory.

Siena Heights (5-3, 4-1) got on the board with 4:17 left in

the second quarter on a 9-yard Dont’e Fox run to make the score 14-7 at the half. Fox scored his second touchdown of the game on a 1-yard plunge at the 8:30 mark of the fourth quarter, but senior Jesse Hogan blocked the extra point attempt to keep his team in the lead 14-13.

On Siena Heights’ next possession, it got a first down at the USF 4-yard line. After being stopped on three straight plays, Siena Heights attempted

a 21-yard field goal, but Hogan came up with another block to preserve St. Francis’ lead.

USF, which lost its fourth straight game, was forced to punt for the ninth time on its next possession, giving Siena Heights the ball at its own 35yard line with 2:12 remaining.

On the next play, Travis Zajkowski (18 for 30, 250 yards passing) hooked up with Raphael Dunson, who raced 65 yards to the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown.

ORLAND PARK – Someone was going to make history in Saturday’s Class 3A Sandburg Sectional final while the other team was going to walk away feeling very dejected.

One year after falling short at the same level, Thornton Township’s co-op boys soccer team won, 2-0, to capture its initial sectional championship while denying Lockport a similar honor.

The Wildcats, representing all three schools in their district, moved in front for good in the 30th minute and then were the recipients of an own goal by the Porters in the 52nd minute.

As a result, Thornton advances to Tuesday’s Normal

Community Supersectional, where it will face the host Ironmen, who beat Edwardsville, 2-1, on Saturday in Normal.

It marked a tough ending for the best season in Lockport history. The Porters (17-4-2) won 13 straight to earn the opportunity to play in their first sectional final but Thornton, which fell 2-1 in last year’s Andrew Sectional championship, would not be denied again.

“There were two teams in a similar situation where someone was going to make history by winning their first sectional and it could have gone either way,” Porters coach Chris Beal said. “Fair credit to Thornton since they pushed us hard and played hard and scored a good goal. They had a very athletic keeper who came out and col-

IHSA CLASS 3A CROSS COUNTRY MARIST SECTIONAL

Lockport girls headed back to state

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent MIDLOTHIAN – A sense of calm pervaded the Lockport girls cross country team as the final minutes to the start of Saturday’s Class 3A Marist Sectional approached in the Midlothian Meadows Forest Preserve.

Maybe it was the deep-breathing exercise just before the gun. Maybe it was the game plan of coach Evon Schlotter.

Whatever it was, it paid off in a second-place showing, behind only Hinsdale Central, and a sixth straight team trip and 21st overall ranking to the IHSA’s girls cross country championship.

That record of success, is why there was also a sense of calm after the race, even from Morgan Bollinger, the sophomore whose time of 17:34.8 for the 2.98-mile path placed fifth overall.

“It’s great to go down as a team,” said Bollinger, who paced the Porters as a freshman as well. “We do every-

Lockport’s Morgan Bollinger runs during the Lockport Class 3A Cross Country Regional on Oct. 25 at Dellwood Park in Lockport. Lockport won the Class 3A Sectional on Saturday in the Midlothian Meadows Forest Preserve. thing as a team.”

For the Porters, there’s more to come. In a way, little has been accomplished so far.

That’s why Schlotter, head of the program since it first made an impact in 1987, told her runners after the race, “I’m happy, but I’m not satisfied.”

Schlotter has no worries

that Bollinger and senior Emmie Hahn, who finished sixth in 17:38.67, will run their pace.

She needs the back of the seven-runner accordion to be closer to the front. Saturday, there was a 54-second difference between Bollinger and fifth Porter finisher Aubrey Frederich, a freshman, and 59 seconds

between Bollinger and Emily Stoklosa, the seventh Lockport runner across the line.

Stoklosa finished 37th, 32 spots behind Bollinger. In next Saturday’s finals at Detweiller Park, she might be 75 places behind with a similar time.

Schlotter, wary of a deep field, wants that timing gap closed to get a better team finish.

“We were bringing five runners [together] to the first mile, and after that, three of us would go,” Bollinger explained. “But everyone stayed together.”

At least for a while. With Hinsdale Central’s Alexa Haff leading from start to finish (and winning in 17:02.72), the Red Devils grabbed three of the first seven places and four of the top 11 to take the team title with 50 points to Lockport’s 82.

In the regional Lockport hosted, the Porters were told to hang together for the first two miles and then take off.

This time, it was one mile for all, two miles for the top three, the third being sophomore Karlee Stortz, 19th in 18:14.21.

“This week was our first time being able to do this, and I think it worked out,” Hahn said. “We just wanted to rub elbows with [Hinsdale].”

At Detweiller?

“I think the gap is going to be bigger than smaller, because you let those kids in the lead go,” Schlotter said. “Our gap from fourth to seventh needs to be tighter, but you’ve got to let Emmie and Morgan go. And fourth and fifth is a different kid every day.

“We’re going to work at being a better team next week.”

Individuals advancing included runner-up Rachael Lau (Plainfield North, 17:12.06), Alexis Grigg (Plainfield South, 17:50.41), and Bolingbrook’s Trianna Rodriguez (17:55.73) and Arianna Amill (18:01.13).

On the boys side, Sergio Llanes (Plainfield East, 15:05.06) and Jack Sebok (Plainfield North, 15:05.67) advanced as individuals. Sandburg, with five of the top 11 runners, won the team title and Downers Grove North’s Ryan Clevenger won the individual race in 14:33.94.

CROSS COUNTRY SECTIONAL ROUNDUP

Minooka’s girls repeat as sectional champions SUBMITTED REPORTS QUINCY – Minooka’s girls cross country team repeated as a sectional champion after edging O’Fallon, 53-59, to claim the title of Saturday’s Class 3A Quincy Sectional.

Coach Kevin Gummerson’s Indians had the top two finishers, Ashley Tutt and Mackenzie Callahan, as well as four of the top eight runners.

Tutt posted a time of 17:42 to win individual honors while Callahan was next in a time of 18:04. Morgan Crouch (18:37) was fifth, while Emily Shelton (18:44) took eighth.

“These girls have put in a ton of work and it is great to see the effort pay off,” Gummerson said. “Having four in the top ten is impressive. This group is excited about im-

proving upon today’s performance next week at the state meet.”

Coach Matt Almon’s Joliet West squad scored 137 points to claim the fifth and final qualifying spot. For the Tigers, Kiersten Perry (18:52) took tenth, Charlotte Youell (18:58) was 11th and Madeline Blaauw (19:10) placed 16th.

The top five teams and seven-best individuals from nonqualifying squads earned trips to next Saturday’s IHSA finals at Peoria’s Detweiller Park.

Lincoln-Way Central (161), Providence (186) and Lincoln-Way East (232) finished in sixth through eighth. Qualifying for the Knights were Gretchen Zirgaitis (20th, 19:14) and Elizabeth Venezio (25th, 19:21) while Celtic Kirsten Schultz (23rd, 19:19) also ad-

vanced.

In the boys race, O’Fallon won the team title by a 62-82 margin over Lincoln-Way Central. Joliet Central beat out Normal Community, 150-155, for the fifth state spot. Minooka (189) was seventh, Joliet West (261) took ninth and Lincoln-Way East (262) was tenth.

Coach John Taylor’s Knights were paced by Tommy Kolacki (5th, 15:28), Ian Peterson (8th, 15:39), Ben Alvarado (17th, 15:59) and Andrew Robbins (24th, 16:09).

Coach Doug Cherry’s Steelmen were led by Raul Rosendo (4th, 15:27), Vince Moreno (25th, 16:13) and Andre Martinez (31st, 16:20).

Minooka qualified Gabe Ceballos (10th, 15:44) and Soren Knudsen (19th, 16:04) while Joliet West’s Dan Treasure

(14th, 15:56) will also be going to state.

“The boys came up a little short of the ultimate team goal, however, I am extremely proud of the way they competed all year,” Gummerson said.

“Ceballos continues to impress me as he has qualified for the state meet two years in a row.

Knudsen has had an injuryplagued season, however, he put together a tremendous race on the biggest stage.”

while Morris’ Mya Shannon (5th, 18:28) and West’s Natalie Krol (10th, 18:35) moved on from the girls event.

Class 1A Lisle Sectional Gardner-South Wilmington’s Daly Galloway won the girls race in 18:37, while Peotone (206) took fifth place as a team to advance in the boys race with Jake Chisausky (8th, 17:21), Kyle Jones (25th, 18:08) and Zach Crocker (32nd, 18:23) leading the way.

Class 2A East Peoria Sectional

Class 1A Oregon Sectional

Lincoln-Way West’s girls were edged, 143-149, by LaSalle-Peru for the fifth and final state spot while West’s boys (197) took seventh.

West’s Evan Mitchell (15:32) and Mitch Feehan (15th, 15:42) advanced from the boys race

Seneca (109) took second in the girls race to qualify. The Irish were led by Eva Bruno (3rd, 19:08), Carina Collet (12th, 20:00), Sarah Virgo (22nd, 20:32) and Sarah Cameron (29th, 20:48). Seneca’s Ross McCormick (9th, 16:25) also advanced.

It might be the best time for Phillips to get out.

Phillips is extremely loyal to Northwestern. He reportedly had drawn interest from Stanford and Penn State.

But Michigan offers the same suburban lifestyle as Northwestern. It’s also a chance to trade the Big Ten’s most apathetic fan base for one of its most rabid.

Although Northwestern’s basketball program seems to be rising quickly, Michigan’s already is a championship contender. Its football program could catch up quickly with the right coach in place.

There are Michigan boosters who could fund Northwestern’s athletic budget with what’s in their back pocket.

Michigan can pay whatever it wants to Brandon’s replacement.

It will take a lot of money to lure Phillips away from Northwestern. Loyalty doesn’t come AP photo cheap.

Corey Clement, who ran for 131 yards, added touchdown runs of 43 and 36 yards and Rafael Gaglianone kicked three field goals as the Badgers dominated in sending the Scarlet Knights’ Homecoming crowd home early.

Tevin Coleman ran for 108 yards for Indiana, but the Hoosiers (3-5, 0-4) couldn’t overcome their injury problems at quarterback. Freshman Zander Diamont managed only 24 yards passing.

Brandon’s resignation now puts the focus on Michigan football coach Brady Hoke, whose future also is very much in doubt. The Wolverines need to win two of their final three games to become bowl eligible.

IOWA CITY – So this is what Armageddon looks like for Northwestern.

Iowa thrashed the Wildcats 48-7 on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium in what looks like a second consecutive lost season for Pat Fitzgerald’s bunch.

The game began with a 24-point first quarter by the Hawkeyes (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) and an ESPN report that said Michigan was interested in hiring Wildcats athletic director Jim Phillips to replace Dave Brandon, who resigned Friday.

The threat of losing Phillips was more of a nightmare than what transpired on the field.

By halftime, Northwestern (3-5, 2-3) trailed 38-7, had 12 yards of offense and had thrown for only four yards. It gave credence to the idea that Phillips should at least consider a move to Michigan.

Phillips did not immediately return a text message sent by the Sun-Times.

“When you go out and play the way that we did today, get

it handed to you, there are a lot of confidence issues,” Fitzgerald said.

Phillips stood on the sideline with his arms folded, watching every painstaking play.

Over the past two seasons, Phillips has watched Northwestern fall back into the Big Ten basement. The Wildcats have won only three of their last 10 conference games after being a popular pick to win the Big Ten title in 2013.

The game Saturday might have been the worst in that string of games. The Wildcats passed for only 75 yards and allowed five sacks.

In the second quarter, quarterback Trevor Siemian threw the ball thinking receiver Tony Jones was running a different route. This from two seniors, no less.

Siemian eventually was pulled, but he wanted to finish.

“Absolutely, just to get something going,” he said.

Northwestern happens to host Michigan next Saturday. The Wildcats need to win three of their last four games – including one at No. 10 Notre

Dempster to speak at USF Brown and Gold Night SUBMITTED REPORT JOLIET – Ryan Dempster, recently retired after a 16year major-league career that included a nine-year stint with the Cubs, will be the featured speaker at University of St. Francis’ 38th annual Brown & Gold Night on Dec. 2, at the Pat Sullivan Center.

During his 16-year career with five teams, Dempster made two All-Star appearances, won 132 games and recorded 20 or more saves on three occasions.

Drafted by the Texas Rangers in the third round in 1995, Dempster made his major

league debut with the Florida Marlins in 1998. Two years later, he earned the first of his two career All-Star Game appearances.

After a two-year tenure with the Cincinnati Reds from 2002-03, Dempster signed as a free agent with the Cubs. Working primarily out of the bullpen from 2004-07, he notched 87 saves, including a career-high 33 in 2005. Moving into the starting rotation in 2008, he went 17-6 and finished sixth in the Cy Young Award balloting to help the Cubs win their second straight National League Central title with a 97-64 mark

In five years as a starter, the right-hander posted a 5846 record with the Cubs before being traded to the Texas Rangers in July of 2012.

After posting a 7-3 record for Texas during the final three months of the 2012 season, Dempster signed a freeagent contract with the Boston Red Sox. In his final year in the majors in 2013, he made 29 regular-season starts and three postseason relief appearances as the Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.

Dempster joins an impressive list of Chicago professional sports greats to

Cubs hire Maddon as manager, fire Renteria

By ANDREW SELIGMAN and JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Right after Joe Maddon opted out of his contract with Tampa Bay, the Cubs were mentioned as a possible landing spot for one of baseball’s best managers.

Flush with prospects and ready to make a splash in free agency, the Cubs already had a manager in Rick Renteria.

But they just couldn’t resist the lure of Maddon’s sudden availability.

Looking for a turnaround after five consecutive losing seasons, the Cubs announced Friday that they had hired Maddon to replace Renteria after just one year on the job.

The move pairs the respected Maddon with a promising roster and a franchise with far more resources than he ever enjoyed with the small-market Rays.

Renteria was fired after leading the Cubs to a 73-89 record in his only season as a major league manager. It was a seven-win improvement from 2013, the last of Dale Sveum’s two years in charge, but not close to reaching the playoffs or putting the Cubs in position to win their first World Series title since 1908.

“Maddon – who may be as well suited as anyone in the

have served as the featured speaker at the Brown & Gold event. That list includes Frank Thomas of the White Sox (2013), Bears Super Bowl XX quarterback Jim McMahon (2012), Denis Savard of the Blackhawks (2011), Fergie Jenkins of the Cubs (2008) and the Bears’ Mike Ditka (1982, 2007) and Dick Butkus (1980).

Other notable speakers at past Brown & Gold events were longtime Marquette basketball coach and network television analyst Al McGuire (1977, 1987), basketball coaching legend John Wooden (1978), two-time Super Bowl MVP Bart Starr (1994),

former DePaul coaching legend Ray Meyer (1979), college baseball’s all-time winningest coach and USF’s own Gordie Gillespie (1996) and Olympic wrestler and coach Dan Gable (2002).

The annual fundraiser begins with a cash bar at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and the program at 8 p.m. The event will include a silent auction.

Tickets priced at $50 a person and reserved tables for $500 can be bought by contacting the USF athletics department at 815-740-3464.

Corporate sponsorship opportunities also are available.

Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon smiles as he looks on during baseball practice in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Cubs have fired manager Rick Renteria after one season to hire Maddon. Team President Theo Epstein said Friday that Renteria deserved to come back next season as the Cubs continue their rebuilding effort. But Maddon opted out of his contract with the Rays and Epstein says that changed things for the Cubs. industry to manage the challenges that lie ahead of us – had become a free agent,” Cubs President Theo Epstein said in a statement.

“We saw it as a unique opportunity and faced a clear dilemma: be loyal to Rick or be loyal to the organization. In this business of trying to win a world championship for the first time in 107 years, the organization has priority over any one individual. We decid-

ed to pursue Joe.” Epstein said the Cubs were “transparent” at all times with Renteria once Maddon became available two weeks ago.

“Rick often said he was the beneficiary of the hard work of others who came before him,” he said. “Now, in the young players he helped, we reap the benefits of his hard work as we move forward. He deserved better and we wish him nothing but the best.”

Maple Leafs edge Hawks The ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO –Peter Holland scored at 2:21 of the third period and James Reimer made 45 saves and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Blackhawks, 3-2, on Saturday night.

Reimer made 26 saves in the third period to preserve the win.

Nazem Kadri and James van Riemsdyk also scored for the Leafs.

Brad Richards and Brent Seabrook scored power-play goals for the Hawks. Corey Crawford, who was making his first start since Oct. 18 because of an upper-body injury, made 24 saves.

On the game’s first shift, the Leafs had a chance to score on Crawford. Tyler Bozak had van Riemsdyk on a 2-on-1 break but waited too long, and Seabrook slid in the way of the pass to break it up.

Less than a minute later,

Trevor van Riemsdyk, playing older brother James in a regulation game for the first time, got a shot on net after a drop pass from Patrick Kane. Reimer made the save to keep it scoreless.

At 14:10 of the first, Kadri gave the Maple Leafs a 1-0 lead. Phil Kessel passed the puck to Daniel Winnik, who got it to Kadri in front for the goal, his fourth of the season.

With Sam Carrick – in his NHL debut – in the penalty box for hooking Trevor van Riemsdyk, the Blackhawks tied it.

Richards blasted a slap shot from the left faceoff circle short side on Reimer to make it 1-1 at 16:28.

A hooking call on Bozak early in the second led to Chicago’s second power-play goal. Off a pass from Kane, Seabrook fired a one-timer glove side at 4:18 to give the Hawks the 2-1 lead.

Sixty-four seconds later at 5:22 of the second, James van Riemsdyk took advantage of a turnover

from Johnny Oduya and fired past Crawford to tie it again. It was van Riemsdyk’s 100th goal and 100th point with the Leafs.

Early in the third period, Toronto’s third line took advantage of a strong shift in the offensive zone.

Leo Komarov forced a turnover behind the net and passed to an open Holland in front for his first of the season to make it 3-2.

It was Holland’s fourth goal in four games against the Hawks and just the 11th of his career.

On a penalty kill a few minutes later, Reimer was fortunate when a shot rang off the crossbar.

He also made highlight-reel saves on Andrew Shaw to keep his team ahead.

The Leafs survived another penalty kill in the third, and then Reimer was excellent in keeping the puck out of the net on a scramble with a minute left.

BULLS 106, TIMBERWOLVES 105

Butler’s free throws lift Bulls over Wolves

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – Jimmy Butler made a surprise return to the starting lineup and hit two free throws with 0.2 seconds left to help the Bulls weather another absence from star guard Derrick Rose in a 106-105 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.

Butler scored 24 points on 6-for-12 shooting in his season debut and Pau Gasol added 29 points and six rebounds for the Bulls, who missed Rose with a sprained left ankle.

Kevin Martin scored 33 points and hit a 3-pointer for a 105-104 lead with 2.9 seconds to play.

But Butler got rookie Andrew Wiggins in the air on the other end and forced contact to get to the line. He calmly knocked down the free throws, and the Bulls escaped with the win.

Ricky Rubio tied a career high with 17 assists in his first game since signing a four-year, $55 million contract extension.

But the Wolves lost starting

power forward Thaddeus Young to a strained neck on a scary collision with Butler just before halftime.

The Bulls led by 16 points in the first half, but Anthony Bennett and Martin led a Wolves comeback in the final two quarters. Martin’s big 3 came after two offensive rebounds, but Wiggins was too aggressive on Butler on the final possession.

Rose warmed up before the game, but the Bulls made a late decision to rest their former MVP who has missed most of the last two seasons with knee problems.

Taj Gibson also missed the game with an ankle injury, but the Bulls were buoyed by Butler’s return.

The shooting guard missed the first two games of the season with a sprained left thumb that was expected to keep him out much longer, and he made five of his first six shots to get the Bulls out to a 16-point lead in the first half.

Showing no signs of disenchantment from the inability to

get a new long-term extension done by the Friday deadline, Butler was a force on both ends as usual.

Butler played the entire first quarter and scored nine points while making life miserable for Wiggins on the other end. Wiggins was 0 for 3 at halftime and finished with eight points and six rebounds in 31 minutes.

The Bulls led by 14 early in the third before the Wolves made a run. Wiggins blocked two shots and hit a step-back jumper, and Rubio’s midrange jumper tied the game at 76 with under three minutes to play in the period.

Notes: Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said he wasn’t concerned with Rose’s injury and also said he had no doubt in his mind his star point guard would get back to the impact player he was before the knee issues. ...

Aaron Brooks scored 13 of his 16 points in the first half. Nikola Mirotic added 12 points and eight boards.

The Bulls host Orlando on Tuesday night.

How would you reach the right contract?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Saki, a Scottish short-story author who died in 1916, said, “I think she must have been very strictly brought up, she’s so desperately anxious to do the wrong thing correctly.”

This week we have had a series of deals in which the bidding has not been either clear-cut or accurate. And on some, the opening lead has been weird. Here is one more in which the right final contract was not reached.

How should the auction have gone?

North might have rebid three clubs with such a strong suit and seven playing tricks. South’s sensible two-diamond rebid was forcing for one round. Note also that this guaranteed at least five spades and denied four hearts; with 5-4-4-0 distribution, he would have rebid two hearts -- we love majors and dislike minors. Then maybe North should have continued with two hearts (hoping partner could bid no-trump) or two no-trump (hoping it would not wrongside the contract).

However, when North bid two spades, South should not have jumped to four spades. He should have bid three no-trump to offer a choice of games. Here, North would have passed, but if he had held three spades, he would have corrected back to four spades.

As you will have seen, there are 10 top tricks in no-trump: one spade, two hearts, one diamond and six clubs.

But four spades had no chance. And even if spades had been 3-3, careful defense could have defeated that game.

Always try to keep your options open. And remember that partner will not forget your earlier bids and their meanings.

Dear Doctor K: My job requires a lot of travel, and I recently became pregnant with my first child. What do I need to know about traveling safely during pregnancy?

Dear reader: Being pregnant doesn’t mean you have to stay at home for nine months. There are exceptions; particularly in the last three months, some women develop complications of pregnancy that require them to be resting.

But for most women, travel poses no threat to the mother or child.

But travel by car, train or airplane can be less comfortable when you’re pregnant, so you should take a few precautions to travel comfortably and safely.

First, check with your obstetrical care provider to find out when he or she considers it safe for you to travel.

As I’m sure you know, pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters, with each trimester a three-month period. Travel is generally considered safe during the first and second trimesters. In terms of comfort, the best time to travel is after your fourth month (when morning sickness is gone) and before your third trimester. But if you’re traveling for work, you may not have that much control over your travel schedule.

I do think it’s wise to avoid traveling long distances in the last month before your due date, as due dates can be uncertain and babies can come early.

Ask your doctor if he or she recommends that you limit long-distance travel even earlier. Airlines also have their own rules. Most airlines prohibit international travel after 32 weeks of pregnancy and domestic travel after 34 to 36 weeks.

At the airport, don’t wor-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff ry about passing through metal detectors. They have very low levels of radiation that will not be harmful to you or your baby.

What about airport scanners? You don’t need to worry about them, either.

Let me put it in context. We are all constantly exposed to a low level of radiation from the sun. You would have to go through 25,000 airport scanners to be exposed to the amount of radiation that you are naturally exposed to in a year.

While the airport scanner doesn’t pose a risk, the airplane does. Once on the plane, don’t sit for more than one hour at a time if you can avoid it.

Walk around and stretch your legs frequently to reduce leg cramps. If you must stay in your seat, move your arms and legs to improve blood flow and prevent blood clots from forming. (The same advice applies if you are driving: Take breaks every hour for a short walk.) And always wear a seat belt on an airplane, even if the captain has turned off the seat belt sign.

Finally, drink at least six to eight glasses of water each day. This will keep you from getting dehydrated and will also prevent you from retaining water. Carry a water bottle with you in the car or on the plane and drink from it frequently.

If you take simple precautions, you can have the benefits of traveling throughout most of your pregnancy.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – This can be a prosperous year if you resist the tendency to blow situations out of proportion.

Personal issues will not have a negative bearing on your success if you deal with them quickly. Stay involved in projects that stimulate your intellect and allow you to be creative.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Put your interests first. Others know that they can depend on you, but if you take on too many added responsibilities, you will put your health in jeopardy.

Learn to say no.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – A partnership is likely. Joining clubs,

service groups or educational activities will allow you to interact with a wide variety of people who can improve your prospects.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Good results will occur if you diligently pursue financial prospects. Rather than rely on word of mouth, you should check all the information first to ensure that it is valid.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t let anxiety get you down. Be proud of who you are and what you can do.

You can deal with any situation if you remain calm. Focus on the positive.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Dealing

with elderly relatives or youngsters can be trying. Get in touch with someone who will help you or offer suggestions that will ease your responsibilities.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Keep your dealings professional. Stretching the truth or taking shortcuts will land you in trouble. You will get where you want to be if you play by the rules.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Dwelling on disappointments or disputes will cause you stress and leave you dissatisfied. Go out of your way to help others in order to find a positive

diversion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Your knowledge and charisma will charm even your most cynical opponent.

Present your plans to a potential partner. Be confident, and you will draw more interest.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your complaints will fall on deaf ears.

Face up to your responsibilities without griping. Focus on maintaining the peace, not futile resentment.

Positive thoughts will bring favorable results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Consider how others view you. If you are fun to be

with, everyone will want to be with you. A sincere gesture and a kind word are all that’s required.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Take credit for the things you do. You have what it takes to excel in your chosen field. Don’t let insecurity or self-doubt keep you from a golden opportunity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If you take advantage of a chance to reconnect with someone from your past, you will find out valuable information that will help you understand how to utilize your skills to fit the changing economic climate.
