two highway truck drivers, plus more funding for recycling program

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After a fivehour-long meeting, the Will County Board passed a $482 million spending plan for 2016 that includes money to fund a popular recycling program and the salaries of two more highway truck drivers.

The budget passed, 21-3, but not before heated debate that concentrated on the county’s recycling program, which includes drop-off and pharmaceutical take-back programs, along with shredding and hazardous waste collection events.

Dean Olson, who heads up the Land Use Department’s Resource Recovery & Energy Division, told board members his department is

grappling with increased operational costs and public demand. There also is remaining uncertainty at the state level that could soon have an effect on the county’s electronics recycling program, he said.

“I try to be a good steward of the money. I don’t want to have to come back to you and beg for more money,” Olson told the board.

Democrat Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. initially budgeted the county’s recycling program at $350,000 – the level Olson requested – but last-minute changes earlier this month by a Republican-led finance committee gave Olson $200,000 to work with instead.

On Thursday, the full board voted to give Olson $300,000 after hearing his justifications for the increased spending.

In the same breath, Finance Chairman Mike Fricilone, R-Homer Glen, called on the county to conduct an operational audit of the program.

“And you can do all the audits you want,” Olson said.

“I’ll explain every [dollar].”

Highway department

The spending plan approved Thursday also provided $102,000 to fill two vacant truck driver positions in the county highway department. Part of drivers’ duties include plowing snow-covered roads during the winter months.

Board member Bob Howard, D-Beecher, went as far as to argue that board members should fill two additional vacant positions, suggesting it could mean the difference between families getting to work and children getting to school safely.

“Where I live is a bedroom community …. If these individuals can’t get to work, it’s a lost income. They don’t get paid,” Howard said. “You’ve got children on school buses on county roads. We also have fire protection. We have the hospitals. We really need to take a hard look at this instead of micromanaging departments like this and say, ‘You don’t really need these drivers.’ ” At that point, Cory Singer, R-Frankfort, who voted to fill two of four vacancies, said the debate was getting out of

hand.

“This may be just a bit of an exaggeration of what will happen whether we do or don’t fund two highway department people today. Can we please keep some of this in perspective?” Singer said.

Tax levy, reduced rate

The County Board also voted to include new property in its tax levy for the 2016 budget, resulting in an additional $1.3 million in revenue to help cover overtime costs in the sheriff’s department and add money to the county’s contingency fund.

With rising property values, the taxing levy approved still is below 2014 levy rates, meaning it will lead to a decrease in the county’s portion of homeowners’ property tax bills, Fricilone said.

“While accounting for new construction, we will be reducing our tax rate by 3.68 percent,” he said. “And this is while our neighbors in Cook County passed yesterday a [half-a-billion-dollar] tax increase. So no one can say we’re not being responsible with our taxpayer dollars here.”

Will budget includes $2M for sheriff’s dept. OT

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Board voted Thursday include about $2 million in overtime for the sheriff’s department and other enforcement divisions in the 2016 budget.

The $482 million budget includes funding for the sheriff’s department to hire seven new correctional officers, which officials say could help with overtime costs. County

Executive Larry Walsh Sr. did not fund overtime pay in his proposed budget earlier this year.

In related news, about 200 Will County jail guards are no longer working under terms of an expired contract, after the County Board voted unanimously to approve a new deal Thursday.

The agreement, which includes retroactive pay raises, was tentatively approved by county correctional officers earlier this month.

The union contract runs from Dec. 1, 2012, to Nov. 30, 2016, and includes 2.5 percent cost-of-living increases over the four-year period. In exchange, jail guards will chip in more toward health insurance.

According to the plan, for medical, vision and dental coverage in plan years 2013, 2014 and 2015, employees will contribute 1 percent of base pay for single coverage and 2 percent of base pay for family coverage per pay period.

Starting next year, employees will contribute a certain amount toward health insurance based on salary levels and chosen plan.

“It’s been a long time coming. It’s nice to see that we’ve finalized this contract without going to arbitration,” Will County Sheriff Mike Kelley said in a prepared statement provided by spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer.

The local union president did not respond to a request for comment.

Will County residents, experts along river watershed discuss impact of flooding and runoff

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Channahon resident Randy Krbec said he spends about three hours almost every day at the flowing DuPage River near his home and boats, even when water levels are high.

Living in the second-to-last house to the Route 6 bridge, Krbec has noticed several changes in the river, ranging from the loss of wildlife and vegetation to the seemingly increasing flooding.

So when he attended a meeting Wednesday held by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Shorewood to discuss the merits of a DuPage River flood risk study, he told a panel of officials about the issues he has seen on the river.

“As far as trying to identify where the over-bank floods are, I’d say your easier question is where it isn’t,” Krbec said.

Residents and officials from the Army Corps and other organizations such as the Lower DuPage River Watershed Coalition have seen the river’s health and regulation improve since the passage of the national Clean Water Act in 1972.

But natural changes in the river and man-made devices such as dams and water runoff systems have altered the river’s ecosystem and increased its flooding capabilities, potentially affecting the lives of 900,000 residents.

Drew said to the nearly 50 people at the meeting.

“This is a critical part of the study process,” Drew said Wednesday. “The purpose of tonight is to gather input and determine the scope of input.”

The Army Corps is paying for half of the $3 million study, with the Will County Executive’s Office and the DuPage County Stormwater Management Planning Committee splitting the remaining balance.

Army Corps project manager Imad Samara presented facts of the study and study area spanning 40 communi-

ties, including Bolingbrook, Channahon, Crest Hill, Joliet, Minooka, Naperville, Plainfield, Romeoville and Shorewood in Will County.

The study includes a public input period ending Dec. 4. Then the Army Corps will evaluate several options and formulate a tentative plan. A public review of the plan will be held in January 2017, with a final report preparation and Congress-level review and approval. The plan is set to be submitted to Congress in 2018.

The Army Corps also held similar meetings in Bolingbrook and Wheaton.

Three “hundred-year floods,” or floods that exceed the statistical water height limits that come once every century, have hit the DuPage River watershed in the past 20 years.

Several residents at the Shorewood meeting shared their firsthand experiences with the floods.

Joliet resident Joann Parks said her home has been hit three times by flooding from the DuPage River, and she rebuilt her home from the 2008 flood – only to be hit again by the 2013 flood.

“It’s a beautiful home, but

who is going to buy it under these circumstances?”

Parks said, adding it didn’t seem right to the homeowners along the watershed that action to control the flooding may not be taken for at least another three years during the term of the study.

Shorewood resident Mary Ruth Wirth said she has lived along the river more than 60 years and the flooding today is similar to the flooding in the 1950s and 1960s.

“I think that people have been given the idea that they

Rialto staff hoping to see ‘Empire’ crew again

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – This week’s filming of a scene of the Fox TV series “Empire” at the Rialto Square Theater was not the show’s first appearance in Joliet and may not be the last.

Rialto General Manager Randy Green told the theater board Thursday there is some talk, although nothing definite, about a repeat appearance at the Rialto.

“There are some discussions, about hopefully scenes can be re-shot at the theater because performers do re-play at theaters,” Green said.

“Empire,” a drama series about a hiphop entertainment company, used the Rialto to stage a performance that will appear on the show sometime in the spring. Much of the series is filmed in Chicago. But crews did come to Joliet to film a scene at the old prison on Collins Street before coming back to town Wednesday for the theater scene at the Rialto.

Green said the Rialto made a good impression, and it’s possible the theater could be used to film another performance.

Leann Hoffrogge, the Rialto’s coordinator for volunteers and concessions, said the “Empire” crew was “thrilled beyond belief.”

“They were raving about the building and the stage hands and the staff,” Hoffrogge said.

The general consensus, Hoffrogge said, was that the people at the Rialto “knew what they were doing.”

Hoffrogge joined the show, too, as an unpaid extra.

She said she was among the hundreds of paid and volunteer extras who filled the Rialto seats to shout a lot during the filming of the performance.

Having “Empire” filmed at the Rialto was more than a chance for the theater to be seen on television. The Rialto charged standard fees for use of the theater while Empire crews used it for four days, Green said.

Green said he did not have the total tab for “Empire,” and the bill has not been sent out yet.

“Hopefully,” he told the Rialto board, “we’ll get more business.”

Crews from Homer Tree Service guide a Colorado spruce to a flatbed truck Thursday in Joliet. The tree, which is 35 feet tall, will stand in Van Buren Square for display as the city’s Christmas tree.

Joliet gets ‘perfect tree’ for Christmas

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet on Thursday got the “perfect Christmas tree,” its donor said.

Homer Tree Service came to Anne Jurkas’ house in the Warwick neighborhood to take a 35-foot Colorado spruce downtown, where it will be displayed through the holiday season as the city’s Christmas tree.

Jurkas said she was happy when the city called and told her that her tree was accepted as the annual downtown evergreen.

“I was excited. I’m all about Christmas,” she said.

The tree almost was too perfect for the Jurkas’ front yard. Being about 16 feet in diameter, it blocked the view in the yard to the extent that Anne and her husband, Dennis, worried about keeping an eye on their children as they played outside the house.

Then she read an article last year in The Herald-News about the donation of the 2014 holiday tree.

“We’ve been wanting to get rid of the tree for a couple of years, and

I said, ‘We should do that,’ ” Jurkas said.

The tree is so “perfectly shaped,” she said, that it was hard to just cut it down. But giving it to the city, where it will be the center of the annual Light Up the Holidays Festival and Parade on Nov. 27, made a lot of sense, she said.

“It’s the perfect Christmas tree,” Jurkas said. “It’s all covered. There are no bare spots. It’s a perfect cone. ... It’s what you look for when you look for a Christmas tree for your house. It’s just a little big for my house.”

Jurkas’ children were excited about the work crew in their front yard and the four trucks – one with

“It’s what you look for when you look for a Christmas tree for your house. It’s just a little big for my house.”

Anne Jurkas Donor of 2015 Joliet city Christmas tree a towering crane – in front of the house on Thomas Hickey Drive.

“I think this is awesome,” said Jonathan Jurkas, 9. “I’ve never seen any construction on this [street].”

Jonathan loves to watch construction crews. And although this was more of a relocation, it involved big equipment and hardhats.

The tree was hoisted high into the air by the crane before being placed on the trailer that would take it to Van Buren Plaza. There it will be lit at a 5 p.m. ceremony before the start of the parade.

Thousands of people are expected to come to Light Up the Holidays, where they can see the Jurkas’ tree.

Joliet D-86 board plans to interview candidates for superintendent post

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A search firm for Joliet Public Schools District 86 is gathering candidates for the next superintendent.

Ray & Associates, based in Iowa, is collecting candidates to present to the Board of School Inspectors, said board President Gwendolyn Ulmer.

She said that at the Jan. 4 board meeting, board inspectors will look at semifinalists for the superintendent position and, on Jan. 7, they will select finalists to interview.

During the weeks of Jan. 11 and 18, board inspectors will begin the interview process, she said.

“Everything has been going well. The search team is doing a great job, and we are patiently waiting,” Ulmer said.

She also said Ray & Associates has alerted several publications about District 86’s superintendent search.

According to a job posting on Ray & Associates’ website, the salary for the next superintendent will be in the range of $190,000 to $210,000, including a comprehensive benefit package. The final salary will be negotiated and determined based on proven experience, qualifications and board criteria, according to the website.

The application deadline is Dec. 14, and the start date for the position is to be determined.

Once the candidate is hired, he or she must reside within District 86 boundaries, according to a flier for the position.

The new superintendent also must have or be qualified to obtain an Illinois professional educator license with a superintendent endorsement

by June 30.

Ray & Associates has been assisting District 86 officials and board inspectors with finding the next superintendent after Superintendent Charles Coleman announced in June that he plans to retire next summer.

The company was selected Sept. 2 by board inspectors to be the search firm for $18,000 as a base fee that will be paid in three installments.

The firm was picked from six companies the board reviewed over the summer because it had 40 years of experience, an outstanding reputation and national resources, Ulmer has said.

Since being hired, Ray & Associates has held open forums at two District 86 schools to gather input from residents on qualities they look for in a superintendent. The firm also gathered the same information from board inspectors.

Will County reports sizable It’s Turkey Time! tuberculosis cases increase I’m

By THE HERALD–NEWS

JOLIET – Active tuberculosis is on the rise in Will County, and Sunny Hill TB Clinic Medical Director Dan Garganera suspects more local cases could be on the horizon.

The Sunny Hill Clinic reported one new active TB case through the first six months of 2015, but eight additional cases have surfaced since July 1, according to a news release from the Will County Health Department. Each new TB case requires constant monitoring and a specific regimen of antibiotics lasting six months or longer.

“Tracking TB cases and tracing their contacts is a huge undertaking requiring lots of manpower,” Garganera, an infectious disease and internal medicine specialist with Southwest Infectious Disease Specialists Ltd, said

“More cases of active TB means a greater risk for Will County overall. ” Dan Garganera

Sunny Hill TB Clinic medical director in the news release. “More cases of active TB means a greater risk for Will County overall. TB is treatable, but treatment and prevention require lots of resources.”

Tuberculosis is an airborne bacterial infection spread by coughing and sneezing. The risk of TB infection is highest for persons with weakened immunity, according to the news release. Babies and young children are also especially susceptible because their immune systems may not be fully developed.

Garganera said international air travel is a large and

growing problem in terms of tuberculosis management.

To date, no Will County active TB case shows drug resistance, but Sunny Hill is monitoring two contacts of an extensively drug-resistant case that entered the country from India in early April via Chicago O’Hare International Airport. At least 28 people from various U.S. locations came in close contact with the traveler, who visited Missouri and Tennessee after departing Chicago.

Those with latent TB do not feel sick and cannot transmit TB to others. Nevertheless, they must be monitored and treated to make sure the bacteria in their body does not develop into active TB infection.

The Sunny Hill Clinic provides free TB skin tests to Will County residents twice weekly. For information call 815740-4420.

Joliet reminding residents of snow-related restrictions The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET — With snow predicted for Friday and Saturday, the city of Joliet is reminding residents of snow-removal policies and actions.

It is unavoidable that city snowplows will push snow onto sidewalks at all intersection corners during cleanup. It is the responsibility of the adjacent residential or business owners to remove these snow berms, according to a news release from the city.

On-street parking is prohibited by city ordinance for any snowfall accumulations of 2 inches or more. Residents are asked to remove their cars from the roadway until the street is cleared.

Joliet police will have the option of issuing a parking ticket to the owner of a vehicle left on a city street during a snow event, and having the option of having the vehicle towed, or both. All towing and storage costs will be the responsibility of the vehicle owner.

The city will mobilize crews when there is a measurable accumulation of snowfall or if the winter mix is causing a hazardous driving situation such as freezing rain. The

Roadways Division, with a fleet of 37 snowplow trucks, is responsible for more than 500 miles of roadway.

Joliet has a goal of clearing all streets within 24 hours after the snow stops falling. Major arterials, hospital routes, hills and the bridges are plowed first, followed by subdivision mains and collector streets, remaining subdivision streets, and cul-de-sacs and dead-ends.

Because of the cost of de-icing materials, salt is used only on major arterials and subdivision mains at intersections and midblocks.

Commercial property owners are responsible for plowing commercial parking lots, driveways and public sidewalks adjoining their businesses.

Residential property owners are responsible for shoveling or plowing public sidewalks adjoining their homes. Shoveling snow into the street is a city code violation.

Owners should shovel out fire hydrants in or around their property and around meters to aid utility meter readers.

Sidewalks should be cleared of snow for the safety of pedestrians. Mailboxes should be uncovered, and a path should be created for postal vehicles.

Model trims include Tradesman, Express, HFE, SLT, Big Horn/ Lonestar, Outdoorsman, Sport, Rebel, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and Laramie Limited. The Rebel off-roader and Laramie Limited are both new for 2016, each with a distinctive grille that sets them apart from the rest of the lineup.

Use of road salt a major issue affecting the river’s health • RIVER

“Everyone looks at the chemistry of the river.

The water can be clean enough to drink. But if there’s no habitat for the fish to live, protect them from high flows or provide places for them to lay eggs or find food, it doesn’t really matter if the water is clean.”

Continued from page 3 live in a safe area, but some of these areas have flooded for years,” Wirth said. “Nobody paid any attention to them.

Now, all of a sudden, it’s an issue.”

Some residents offered solutions to the flooding problems, such as Plainfield resident Tom Mooney, who said the Shorewood dam – like the Pilcher Park dam in Joliet – should be removed because it serves no purpose and flooding can cause widespread damage to homes.

Jennifer Hammer Coordinator, Lower DuPage River Watershed Coalition

River health

Flooding also affects the river’s health, said Jennifer Hammer, coordinator with the Lower DuPage River Watershed Coalition.

“Some of the impacts of flooding is small-scale,” Hammer said. “With development, it’s changed the whole system.

Now you collect water off of roofs and driveways, and it doesn’t have the opportunity to infiltrate the ground. It all goes to the river very quickly.”

Hammer said the ground normally acts as a natural filter that contributes to groundwater sources and underground tributaries to the DuPage River. But the quickness of the water heading to the stream through man-made systems, such as wastewater treatment plants, has contributed to a rise in sediment, an erosion of stream banks and an impact on the natural habitat.

The coalition measures the health of the river by the wildlife in it.

The river has been getting

About 50 people attend a public meeting Wednesday held by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Will County in Shorewood about the initial stages of a flood study of the DuPage River. eral methods to reduce its road healthier over the years. But the introduction of additional nutrients in the river has contributed to a loss of river life in areas of the lower DuPage River watershed because of an increase in algae and plants that take away oxygen from water life.

Hammer said it also has altered the physical attributes of the river, which is something that isn’t much measured by Environmental Protection Agency standards when regulating wastewater treatment plants.

“Everyone looks at the chemistry of the river,” Hammer said. “The water can be clean enough to drink. But if there’s no habitat for the fish to live, protect them from high flows or provide places for them to lay eggs or find food, it doesn’t really matter if the water is clean.”

STEAK HOUSE & BANQUETS

But the major issue the coalition is dealing with is trying to inform municipalities, counties and other entities that use road salt of how it debilitates natural water sources.

Water runoff carries road salt, along with water softeners from groundwater sources, changing the chloride levels of water.

Hammer said normal limits for chlorides in rivers are about 500 milligrams per liter, but data suggests bug and fish populations start going down once levels hit 100 to 120 milligrams per liter.

Tara Neff, a water resource assistant with The Conservation Foundation – an organization that also oversees the health of the DuPage River – said communities need to find a balance between maintaining public safety and using

salt use and impact on the river, but also is using contractors to help clean the roads this winter.

“Our contractors follow the same procedures that employees do,” Director of Public Works Allen Persons said.

Hammer and Neff said residents can help by not putting natural materials such as leaves, grass clippings and twigs in the rivers or down sewer drains.

“Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s OK,” Hammer said, noting that natural waste decays more quickly and adds nutrients to the streams, which can cause harm to water and bug life.

less salt.

“Everybody is doing studies, from IDOT to the cities,” Neff said.

Those studies range from how much salt trucks’ speed affects application to how far salt scatters when it hits the road.

Shorewood public works employees have discussed how to mitigate the application of road salt, including pre-wetting the salt to increase its effectiveness and sending operators to sessions hosted by the watershed coalition, Public Works Supervisor Chris Drey said.

LOCKPORT – As Lockport starts to roll out a beautification plan for the city, it also will be more proactive in enforcing code compliance for residents who have been lax in keeping up their properties.

The city is planning to spend about $180,000 over three budget years starting in 2016 for about 10 new signs throughout the city and new flower plantings in street medians at Lockport’s main gateways, according to City Administrator Ben Benson.

During a presentation by a landscape designer and planner for Chicago-based Teska Associates at the City Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting Wednesday night, Mayor Steven Streit stressed the beautification process would necessitate the city being more proactive in implementing its ordinances.

“We don’t want to do this and have a couch sitting in a yard,” Streit said.

To facilitate the process, the city has planned to hire two part-time community service officers to help with the ancillary duties of code enforcement officer Tom Fulton, who then would be able to focus on looking for and correcting code violations, said Police

Chief Terry Lemming in a later interview.

Administrative tickets for code violations range from $25 for not placing waste refuse containers out of sight to $100 for leaving an inoperable vehicle parked on the property or lack of upkeep of a home or property, according to Fulton.

Unpaid fines and continued noncompliance past the given time frame once a ticket has been issued could result in a required appearance in circuit court and added fines, he said.

The city does take “unique circumstances” into consideration when setting the time frame – such as elderly residents who might not have relatives to help in time with the changes needed – but, ultimately, code compliance would have to be enforced, he said.

The City Council passed its 2016 budget at its regular council meeting Wednesday night. Part of that budget includes funding for the new signage as well as $37,000 the city previously had budgeted for a school resource officer who now is working only for the school district, according to Finance Director Lisa Heglund.

The city will use those funds to hire two part-time community service officers next year, Heglund said.

Joliet service group partnering with students

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Zonta Club of Joliet has formed a new partnership with a local high school organization that will empower young women.

The Fearless Females student club from Joliet Township High School District 204 formed a charter partnership Wednesday with the Zonta Club.

More than 30 Joliet Central high school girls who are part of the young feminist club Fearless Females were inducted as Fearless Females Z Club charter members. It’s the first Z Club – the high school version of the Zonta Club – in Joliet.

Since 1973, the Zonta Club

of Joliet – made up of professional women in the city – has dedicated itself to improving the lives of women locally and globally through service and advocacy. By partnering with Fearless Females, Joliet Zontians will provide young women career guidance, mentoring and international fellowship.

“It’s going to have a powerful impact on the club,” said Miryam Perez, Fearless Females president.

She said the partnership will be amazing because the Zonta Club of Joliet does many service projects, which is what their club wants to do.

Yolanda Reyes, president of Zonta Club of Joliet, said club members always wanted to sponsor a club within the high schools. They found out about

Fearless Females through District 204 Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy and spokeswoman Kristine Schlismann, she said.

Reyes said she was amazed at how Fearless Females members advocate for the rights of women.

“They were just fabulous,” she said.

McCarthy, who has been a Zontian for about two years, said the two organizations fit together.

“As the superintendent, I’m just so very thankful we have community organizations that understand the importance of partnering with our schools and the education of our youth,” she said.

Reyes said Fearless Females wants to provide service

Minooka Dist. 201 board OKs tentative tax levy with increase

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – The Minooka School District 201 board voted Wednesday to approve the tentative fiscal 2015 levy and set a date for the required public hearing on the matter.

Superintendent Kris Monn said the overall increase is expected to be 16.73 percent more than last year, but may lie in the 12 to 14 percent range.

“I do not want taxpayers to latch on to a set percentage,” Monn said.

Two main areas that will affect the hike are the increased equalized assessed valuation in the county and the need to pay off debt in the district’s tort liability fund.

The estimated EAV increase for the county is 6 to 7 percent, based on preliminary numbers from county offices.

Monn said what the district wants to do with the EAV levy is a balloon levy, which means the number levied will be higher than the preliminary amounts in order to cover any unexpected rises. The final EAV numbers will not be available until March or April of 2016.

“Something could happen to cause more of an increase than expected in the EAV, and then we are underfunded for that area. We will use a projected increase of just over 9.54 percent to ensure we levy an amount sufficient to reach our maximum rates,” Monn said.

The tort liability fund had only requested $650,000 in annual taxes, but had expenditures of $1.5 million, which left over $1 million in deficit.

“In October, the Finance Committee and Board of Education requested a tentative levy that both addressed the annual deficit in the tort fund and also provided for additional funds to make up the deficit fund balance already existing,” Monn said.

Monn said the tentative levy amount for the tort fund is up from $650,000 to $2 million, which should take care of the expenses and eliminate the existing deficit in two years.

Monn said the Finance Committee found that those with a $200,000 home in the district would see an annual tax increase of between $232 and $282.

Board member Doug Martin brought to the superinten-

dent’s attention that the tort deficit is a result of the board’s decisions to overspend.

“If we wouldn’t have approved all of the spending, we wouldn’t have to levy this fund. So, now is the day to pay the piper. We spent more than we had and chose not to levy in order to keep the tax rate low, but then we made a deficit in the tort fund, and now we have a higher tax rate for our taxpayers,” Martin said.

John Clucas, board vice president, clarified that District 201 runs on one of the lowest operating costs per pupil, and that the district spends less than most in the area.

“We still have to run a school district. We didn’t do anything crazy with this money – we spent what the kids in the schools needed,” Clucas said.

The tentative levy was approved by the board with members Martin and Curt Jebens opposed.

The board also voted unanimously to hold a public hearing at 6:45 p.m. Dec. 16 in the board room at the Minooka Primary Center, 305 W. Church St., Minooka.

to their community, which is what the Zonta Club does. The club is a member of Zonta International, which was founded in 1919 and is committed to empowering women worldwide.

According to the Zonta Club of Joliet website, the or-

ganization has done fundraising events for Guardian Angel Community Services, Habitat for Humanity, Prairie State Legal Services and other organizations.

The club also supports education for women through scholarship funds.

Joliet soldier to plead guilty in military facility attack plot Cousins to plead guilty in Joliet Armory case

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com A Joliet-based National Guardsman and his cousin will plead guilty to plotting to attack a military facility, officials said.

Hasan Edmonds and his cousin, Jonas Edmonds, both of Aurora, asked a federal judge Thursday to schedule a “change-of-plea” court appearance, according to U.S. Attorney spokesman Joseph Fitzpatrick.

Both men were arrested in March and had pleaded not

guilty.

Jonas Edmonds is scheduled to change his plea Dec. 9 and Hasan Edmonds is scheduled for Dec. 14.

“We have not disclosed the charges they’ll be pleading to or ... potential penalties, but there will be written plea agreements filed at that time,” Fitzpatrick said Thursday.

Hasan Edmonds is an Illinois Army National Guard soldier who primarily trained at the Joliet Armory.

A federal complaint states Jonas Edmonds planned to

attack an Illinois military facility, while Hasan Edmonds, who was a member of the Golf Company 634th Brigade Support Battalion based in Joliet, would join Islamic State fighters. The targeted location was only identified in the complaint as a U.S. military facility in northern Illinois.

The Illinois National Guard has not specified where the alleged targeted military installation was, but a spokesman has said Edmonds primarily trained in Joliet.

Discarded cellphone led to ringleader of Paris attacks

By LORI HINNANT and KARL RITTER The Associated Press PARIS – French investigators tracked down the alleged ringleader of last week’s Paris bloodshed after receiving a startling tipoff: The Islamic militant wasn’t in Syria but in Europe, plotting yet another attack. A discarded cellphone found near a bloodied concert hall led them to his cousin, and then to a suburban Paris apartment where both died in a hail of bullets and explosions.

As a manhunt intensified Thursday for a fugitive connected to the carnage, details emerged about the intelligence operation that allowed authorities to zero in on Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the Belgian-Moroccan extremist they say orchestrated the attacks in Paris and four plots thwarted earlier this year.

The narrative provided by French officials raised questions about how a wanted militant suspected of involve-

ment in multiple plots could slip into Europe undetected.

Investigators quickly identified Abaaoud as the architect of the deadly attacks in Paris, but they believed he had coordinated the assaults against a soccer stadium, cafes and a rock concert from the battlefields of Syria.

That situation changed profoundly on Monday, when France received a tip from a non-European country that Abaaoud had slipped into Europe through Greece, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.

“It was a big surprise when the intelligence came in,” said a police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the information was sensitive. “There were many people who didn’t take it seriously, but effectively it was confirmed.”

As it turned out, not only was Abaaoud in Europe, but right in front of the noses of French investigators, a 15-minute walk from the Stade de France stadium where

three suicide bombers had blown themselves up during the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 129 people and wounded hundreds.

“We have strong reason to believe that this cell was about to commit massive terror attacks in France,” Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Thursday, speaking on public broadcaster France 2.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Abaaoud was traced to the apartment in Saint-Denis through phone taps and surveillance.

Two police officials briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press that a cellphone dumped in a trash can outside the Bataclan concert hall – where 89 people were killed – proved crucial. It contained a text message sent about 20 minutes after the massacre began that read: “We’re off, it’s started.”

The phone had contact information for Abaaoud’s 26-year-old cousin, Hasna Aitboulahcen, one of the police officials said.

STATE BRIEFS Police: Witnesses won’t talk in toddler case

CHICAGO – Frustrated Chicago police said two witnesses aren’t cooperating with their investigation into the death of a 2-yearold northern Illinois boy whose dismembered remains were found in a Chicago lagoon.

Police said they held a news conference Thursday morning to exert pressure on family friends 40-year-old Kamel Harris and 34-year-old Danyelle Foggs to share what they know. Police said Harris and Foggs were entrusted with Kyrian Knox’s care while the Rockford boy’s mother was moving to Iowa.

Authorities said numerous attempts to contact Harris and Foggs failed. Officials said they believe the boy went missing in mid-August but wasn’t reported missing until Sept. 17.

Kyrian’s remains were found Sept. 5 in the Garfield Park lagoon on Chicago’s West Side.

The body parts were identified as the boy Nov. 4.

Federal officials to review restaurants for compliance

CHICAGO – Federal prosecutors said they’re reviewing restaurants in Chicago and the suburbs to ensure they comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Zachary Fardon is U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. In a news release Wednesday, he said his office “will pursue all reasonable measures to ensure compliance.”

The law, often called the ADA, was approved in 1990. It prohibits discrimination of people with disabilities and requires places such as restaurants to be accessible.

Fardon said his office wants to work cooperatively with restaurants. He said restaurant owners in Chicago and its suburbs will be asked to complete surveys about the accessibility of their business.

Federal investigators also might conduct on-site inspections.

Owners who don’t comply with the law could face fines or a civil lawsuit.

Illinois officials seek company to supply body cameras The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Illinois officials have taken another step toward equipping police officers with body cameras.

Officials are seeking a company to supply 1,000 body cameras and 1,000 patrol car cameras to state and local law enforcement agencies. The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reports the move is in response to a new law going into effect. Jan. 1.

The law doesn’t mandate body cameras but said how they should be used.

A state law enforcement board is charged with creating policy for using the equipment.

Under the law, the state would help departments pay for the cameras and training for officers with grants funded by a $5 increase in traffic tickets.

The bidding process is being overseen by the state Department of Central Management Services. Department spokeswoman Meredith Krantz said the equipment would be made available through a joint purchasing contract for Illinois State Po-

lice and local agencies.

Illinois State Police spokesman Matt Boerwinkle said the bidding process sets up a framework for the agency to buy cameras in the future.

“This joint purchasing contract does not obligate ISP to purchase body cameras but puts the contract in place if and when the agency is ready to initiate a pilot program,” Boerwinkle said.

The equipment is estimated to cost $5.6 million over two years, Krantz said. Representatives of 10 firms were present at an Oct. 29 pre-bid meeting, according to the De-

partment of Central Management Services.

Formal bids were due last week.

State Sen. Kwame Raoul, D-Chicago, said the state grants and the possibility of cutting costs by buying cameras in bulk could allay concerns of local police that the state is passing along costs.

Raoul was a sponsor of the body camera legislation.

“One of my goals is to get to the point where you have a good enough funding stream that it removes the argument that this is an unfunded mandate,” Raoul said.

Chicago says it’ll release shooting video per judge’s order

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The city of Chicago said Thursday it will comply with a judge’s order and soon release a video of a white police officer shooting a black teenager 16 times – images that some worry could lead to unrest similar to protests that other cities have seen after police-involved deaths.

The announcement from the city came after Cook County Judge Franklin Valderrama refused to give the Chicago Police Department more time before the release while the city decided whether to appeal. It was initially thought that an emergency appeal was likely.

But a statement from Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office hours after the judge’s rul-

ing indicated there will be no appeal and the video would be released to the public by Wednesday at the latest, as Valderrama ordered.

“Police officers are entrusted to uphold the law, and to provide safety to our residents,” the statement said. “In this case unfortunately, it appears an officer violated that trust at every level.”

Earlier Thursday, several activists began to cry inside the courtroom when the judge issued his ruling. They said later that the decision to release the footage of the October 2014 shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was monumental for a city with a police department that has long been dogged by a reputation for brutality, particularly involving blacks.

Activists, journalists and attorneys have been pushing for the video’s release for several months, especially after the family’s lawyers obtained the squad car dashcam video and described what they saw: McDonald armed with a small knife and walking away from a group of police officers, and Officer Jason Van Dyke opening fire from about 15 feet and continuing to shoot after the teen fell to the ground.

An autopsy report showed that McDonald was shot 16 times, including at least twice in his back. The report also said PCP, a hallucinogenic drug, was found in McDonald’s system.

The Police Department, responding to a freelance journalist’s Freedom of Information request, refused to re-

lease the video and said doing so could hamper the shooting investigation.

But Thursday, the judge said the department did not have the legal right to withhold the video because other agencies including the FBI are the ones investigating, not Chicago police.

The statement from Emanuel’s office appears to exert pressure on prosecutors, saying the city “promptly sent this case and the evidence to state and federal prosecutors who have been investigating it for almost a year.” The statement adds that it hopes the video’s release by Wednesday “will provide prosecutors time to expeditiously bring their investigation to a conclusion so Chicago can begin to heal.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Failed state refugee problem

To the Editor: This situation [refugees] will only get worse without identifying what is really going on: These people are unable and unwilling to defend their rights, way of life and ideals – partially from a lack of leadership, weaponry, poor governance, lack of local control, corruption and graft.

As a result, millions of people immigrate or peacefully invade Europe and the U.S., when before they were unable to do so. Now they have an incentive to let their state collapse. The ones that stay tend to be too sick or poor to move, others milk the system from graft, corruption, foreign aid, etc.

These people need to stay in their county, in safe zones, established by the U.N. and Western powers and re-establish civil governance. Otherwise the West will be overrun by millions of refugees whose own states failed.

Building a wall not American way

To the Editor: We thought the Berlin Wall stood for everything that decent Americans find reprehensible. President Reagan demanded that the Soviets tear it down.

Now we want to build a similar wall here? Really? A dividing wall at one end of our country and the Statue of Liberty at the other.

Which symbol would be representative of the real America?

How ironic is it that this nation was founded on illegal immigration, when we trespassed on Native American lands?

Karma.

District 202 ready to impliment full-day kindergarten We have been talking since this summer about our ongoing work to implement full-day kindergarten next school year.

We are excited and happy to be able to share information about that process.

We have not had enough room nor could we afford to hire enough staff to offer full-day kindergarten because of our tremendous growth in the early 2000s.

However, our community set fullday kindergarten as a top priority in 2011 as part of our current five-year Strategic Plan. We have been working toward that goal for three years.

Our pilot full-day kindergarten initiative will serve one classroom of 24 students at each of our 17 elementary schools.

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

OH WHAT AN O-LINE

Big guys up front paving Lincoln-Way West’s road toward state From the outset of this football season, one huge strength of the Lincoln-Way West football team was an offensive line that included right tackle Justin Witt, right guard Bryan Brokop and junior left tackle Nate Henry, a third Division I prospect.

Witt will play his college football at North Carolina State, where Providence graduate and former Uni-

versity of St. Francis coach Mike Uremovich is the offensive line coach. Brokop is headed to Nebraska.

After reviewing last week’s 40-13 dismantling of Peoria in the quarterfinals, coach Dave Ernst could not say enough about Witt.

“Of all the good offensive linemen we have had, I think Justin had the best game an offensive lineman ever played here,” Ernst said.

PLAYOFF PREVIEW CAPSULE: SEMIFINAL CLASS 5A: LINCOLN-WAY WEST AT CHAMPAIGN CENTRAL

Kickoff: 2 p.m. Saturday at Champaign Centennial Weather forecast: Windy and cold.

Rain possibly changing to snow in the morning and early afternoon. About 35 degrees at kickoff, 30 at game’s end.

Precipitation may lessen or stop by game time.

Records: Lincoln-Way West 10-2, Champaign Central 11-1 Playoff history: Lincoln-Way West is in for the sixth time, all in succession, and is 9-5 in playoff games. Champaign Central is in for the 15th time, second in succession, and is 7-14 in playoff games.

Quarterfinals: Lincoln-Way West 40, Peoria 13; Champaign Central 28, Washington 0 Championship game: Lincoln-Way West would face Nazareth or St. Laurence at 10 a.m. Nov. 28 at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.

The skinny: Lincoln-Way West is in the semifinal round for the first time and is facing an opponent that also is in relatively uncharted territory.

Champaign Central won only four playoff games total in 14 previous playoff appearances. The Maroons, whose only loss was 27-21 to Peoria Notre Dame, pitched their second shutout of the season in last week’s win over previously unbeaten Washington. But the bread and butter for Champaign has been its running game out of a wing-T, which is the key to the Maroons averaging 42 points. Josh Parker, Bradley Dee and Matt Brown have combined for nearly 300 rushing yards a game.

However, Lincoln-Way West’s young and quick defense has been shutting down playoff opponents that feature gaudy rushing statistics, and the Warriors are hoping to do that again.

As an example, West held Peoria 34 points below its average. On the other side of the ball, the Warriors have been producing plenty of points with area rushing leader Gabe Montalvo hard to bring down and operating behind an offensive line that boasts right tackle Justin Witt (North Carolina State) and right guard Bryan Brokop (Nebraska).

In addition, quarterback Connor Lowman has mixed in effective passing, with Jake Mauney, Dylan McHale and Ben Zordani primary targets.

against the passing game. The conditions will put a premium on field position.

“We’re playing a team that onside kicks a lot,” Ernst said. “We need to recover all their onside kicks, get the short field and keep them from getting a short field.

“You say it all the time, but we can’t turn the ball over and we can’t give up big plays.”

Assuming West does not fail on either of those two fronts, the Warriors have a good shot at advancing to the first championship game in school history.

All season, West was ranked by the Herald-News as one of the top teams in the Joliet area regardless of class, and now the Warriors are alone, carrying the area banner on the semifinal scoreboard. Watch for them to win this one and then be in position to take their best shot against Nazareth in the title game.

“We have a transfer from Waubonsie Valley, [senior] Darnell Smith, who is 6-5 and will be our starting center,” DiForti said.

“That will allow us to play Trevian more often than not on the wing, where he will create matchup problems. That’s where his future is. He has the size to be a good perimeter player.”

Junior forward Elijah Ward, who is 6-4, will round out the frontcourt.

“I haven’t had this kind of size in a long time, probably since 2008,” DiForti said. “I look forward to teaching height again.”

The guard mix along with the 6-2 Kirk will include three sophomores – Michael Smith, Darien Bosby and Eddie Creal. In addition, junior Jason Bingham Jr.,

late of Joliet Central, transferred in and “will give us more depth at guard and a defensive presence,” DiForti said.

The Tigers’ roster mix includes three sophomores, six juniors and four seniors. Senior forward Tyler Johnson, in his fourth year in the program, is the only senior who was with the team last season.

The others are Smith, all-conference football player John Choate and Jalen Perry, who was cut last season and worked his way back to where he made the team this year.

“It’s nice to have young guys,” DiForti said. “We have juniors who are still young but with varsity experience. It’s an unusual mix of seniors and kind of an odd group in total, but we have pretty good chemistry.”

DiForti said that all 13 players have shown well in practice.

“It’s really going to be hard to not play all 13 guys,” he said.

“Practice has allowed us to see who plays more early on, then we will see who plays well. Our talent is good, not great, but the good thing is there will not be a huge dropoff when we go to the bench.”

That should allow the Tigers to play at a pace they prefer.

“We like to get up and down the floor and control the tempo,” DiForti said. “With our length and quickness, we can be more defensive-minded than usual. With our depth, we can play with that speed and have guys coming off the bench and keep going. When your depth is outstanding, that helps everyone. With this group, there will be a lot of options.”

JOLIET – As usual, next week’s WJOL Thanksgiving Classic at the University of St. Francis Sullivan Center has attracted a field full of area boys basketball teams.

There is another event in town, however, where there not only is a local flavor, but a competitive field as well.

The Joliet West Tiger Thanksgiving Classic will get under way Monday with 5:15 and 6:45 p.m. games in the main gym and fieldhouse. There will be four pool games Wednesday and four Nov. 27, all in the gym, followed by a Saturday lineup that will pit corresponding finishers from the two pools, also in the gym.

Pool 1 consists of Rich South, Tinley Park, Plainfield South and Joliet West. Pool 2 includes CreteMonee, Seton, Thornridge and Plainfield North.

“Our team, Crete-Monee and Seton will be in the Team Rose Shootout at Moraine Valley on Sunday, Nov. 29, the day after our tournament ends,” Joliet West coach Nick DiForti noted.

“Our three teams are considered to have some good young talent.

That will be three teams to watch in our tournament, and I think Plainfield North [DiForti’s former team] will be good again. They’ll have good firepower beginning with Kevin Krieger.”

West, meanwhile, might have its share of firepower as well. The Tigers finished 11-16 overall last season and were at the bottom of the heap in the SouthWest Suburban Blue standings.

However, then-sophomores Trevian Bell and Teyvion Kirk received significant playing time.

The 6-foot-5 Bell, in fact, is rated among the Chicago area’s top juniors by some.

Bell spent much of last season in the post. This year will be dif-

MINOOKA BOYS BASKETBALL

Minooka pencils in as WJOL tourney contender

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – When the winter sports season rolls around, most talk at Minooka centers on the wrestling team, and for good reason, as the Indians have become one of the most consistent programs in the state in the past decade.

But this year might be different.

The Indians still will be a force on the wrestling mat, but it’s the boys basketball team that might be the talk of the town.

That’s because Minooka coach Scott Tanaka returns six players who started at one point or another last year on a team that went 15-16 and advanced to a Class 4A regional championship game. That regional yielded a semifinal victory over Joliet West before Minooka fell to Neuqua Valley in the title game.

Along with making the regional title game, a highlight

that could play with anybody.

Local fans will have the opportunity to see the Indians, an early favorite to challenge for the Southwest Prairie title, all next week as they play in the WJOL Thanksgiving

Classic at the University of St. Francis Sullivan Center.

Minooka is grouped with Lemont, Lockport and Providence for pool play Monday, Wednesday and Friday, then will face the corresponding finisher from the other pool in Saturday’s finals. Some observers feel Minooka might be the team that challenges Joliet Central in its bid for a threepeat on the final day.

Heading up the list of returning starters for the Indians is senior forward Joe Butler, who averaged 18 points a game last year and is a twotime All-Southwest Prairie Conference selection. Butler, who has committed to play baseball for Illinois State next year, is a scoring machine who plays much bigger than his listed height of 6-foot-3.

Returning along with him are seniors Larry Roberts, Nick Clemmons and Blake Parzych, junior Jonny Butler and sophomore Keegan Graebner.

While Joe Butler will gar-

ner much of the opposition’s attention, he is far from being a one-man show. Roberts averaged 12 points last year and was honorable-mention AllSPC, while Jonny Butler ran the point in the Indians’ potent offense.

Parzych, a 6-4 physical force who starred as a defensive lineman for the football team, provides muscle and surprising agility underneath, helping offset the dangerous perimeter games of the Butlers, Roberts, Graebner and Clemmons.

Other seniors returning for the Indians are Jonathan Lamas, Blaine Meadows and Austin Pille, while juniors John Carnagio, Antonio Milazzo, Zach Schultz and Torren Thomas as well as sophomores Kyle Graebner and Adrian Paige also will compete for playing time.

“We will continue to work hard every day to get better,” Tanaka said about his team’s upcoming season.

Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler is tripped up by Kansas City Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston during the second half Sunday in Denver.

DENVER AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, CBS

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – For all the personal reunions that are about to take place when the Bears meet the Broncos on Sunday at Soldier Field – from Bears coach John Fox to offensive coordinator Adam Gase to quarterback Jay Cutler – the most widely discussed individual will be the the one who won’t play.

Peyton Manning.

One week after the famous No. 18 broke the NFL’s alltime mark for career passing yards, he will miss his first game since 2011. Age 39, nursing a partially torn plantar fascia in his foot and amid his worst season as a pro, the questions quickly will become whether the end has arrived for the most famous Manning.

But relatively, that’s a distant worry to this week’s reality: The reunion between Fox and Gase and the team they took to four straight AFC West titles will not involve Peyton Manning.

Except it will.

His replacement is Brock Osweiler, and in many ways, he’s the opposite of Manning.

He’s a giant only literally, stretching 6-foot-7. He’s big and mobile, having once committed to play basketball at Gonzaga. And Sunday, the day Manning historically

reached 71,871 career passing yards, Osweiler finally topped 300. And now, a week after Manning completed his 265th start, Osweiler will make his first.

But the stat that makes Osweiler is the No. 4. It’s the numer of years he has spent as a backup to Manning, learning from the ultra-competitor most credited for the NFL’s shift to audible-heavy, mental chess match that has made quarterback unquestionably the most important position.

“Not a lot of guys get to do that. I know Aaron Rodgers was lucky enough to be around Brett Favre for as long as he was before he got to play,” Gase said. “Now that Brock has an opportunity here, I am sure he has been waiting awhile for it. I am sure he is ready to go.”

Gase knows it was always supposed to work like this, with Osweiler stepping in for Manning equipped with the ideas the legend planted in his brain. That was why Gase, Fox and the Broncos spent a second-round pick on him in 2012, one month after signing Manning away from the Colts.

“Backing up a guy like Peyton Manning, I’ve never had that opportunity,” Cutler said. “You’re not going to fill those shoes. It’s going to be impossible the first start.”

Bears hope to find undrafted gems like Broncos’ Harris Jr.

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears will battle Denver’s top-ranked defense Sunday, one boasting six first-round picks.

Yet arguably its best player wasn’t drafted at all – AllPro cornerback Chris Harris Jr. “He came to our spot and was very competitive and willing to learn,” said John Fox, partially responsible for the Broncos’ acquisition of Harris from the University of Kansas four seasons ago. “… It showed first on the kicking game like most players on the entry level. He kept flashing and kept doing good things so he got more opportunities on defense.

He’s really flourished ever since. On the final cutdown, he was a guy who actually beat out a draft pick who was drafted the year before we got there. I have a tremendous amount of respect for what he accomplished.

He’s a tremendous competitor.”

Adam Gase called the All-Pro Harris a shutdown corner often asked to track opposing receivers from the boundary to the slot, the rarest of rare by NFL standards.

Coincidentally, the Bears’ nickel corner in the past three games, undrafted rookie Bryce Callahan, made the 53-man roster after they cut veteran Tim Jennings before beginning his Bears tenure on special teams and eventually replacing Sherrick McManis as the defense’s 12th starter.

Like Harris, Callahan stands 5-foot-10 and, in college, played Rice’s “star spot,” not unlike what Harris does in Denver – “wherever their star receiver was, if he was in the slot, I’d go play man,” said Callahan.

“But I never played nickel until I got here.”

Callahan also has impressed coaches with his “feel for the position” and “play reaction” as Vic Fangio pointed out after Callahan’s first start, against the

“On the final cutdwn, he was a guy who actually beat out a draft pick who was drafted the year before we got there. I have a tremendous amount of respect for what he accomplished.”

John Fox Bears coach, on Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. Vikings in Week Eight.

That’s likely where the comparisons end for now between Denver’s All-Pro and Chicago’s still-green rookie, though Callahan said assistant secondary coach Sam Garnes, who helped oversee Harris’ growth in Denver from 2011-14, has reminded him of their similar NFL roots.

“I just love hearing that because I know it’s possible,” said Callahan. “He’s around my size, too. I watch his game. I like his game. It’s just good to see guys make it.

“I was talking to [Garnes] and he was telling me how mine and Chris’ situation were kind of the same, except when he was at the Broncos, Chris was the last person on all the depth charts. Just started making plays, finally got up and made the 53.”

Callahan will face his toughest test yet Sunday, when he’ll line up at times across from Emmanuel Sanders.

“Just got to stay on my toes. He’s a quick dude. Keep my eyes down – he’s real shifty – and just be ready,” said Callahan.

As impressive as the Bears’ defense has been of late, Fox and GM Ryan Pace fully understand the work that lies ahead before they’ll be in Denver’s class.

But Fox knows as well as anyone the unit’s next great contributor can be a firstround pick or an undrafted rookie like Harris, or maybe, just maybe, Callahan.

NASCAR

Truex an unlikely contender for championship

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Martin Truex waited at the dais as the three drivers he will race for a championship had achievements read that made them all seem fit to wear NASCAR’s crown.

Kevin Harvick, the defending Sprint Cup champion. Jeff Gordon, the four-time series champion. Kyle Busch, won four times in a five-race span to earn a championship berth.

And Truex?

He was simply billed as “hailing from New Jersey, driving for a team headquartered in Denver.”

That’s it.

With only three career wins in 368 races, Truex seems like the oddity in NASCAR’s finale in Florida on Sunday.

The 35-year-old Truex, of Mayetta, New Jersey, drives for a one-car operation at Furniture Row Racing in Colorado’s capital, far removed from NASCAR’s North Carolina hub. He even has a rookie crew chief in Cole Pearn.

Truex has hardly slithered into the finale, although, finishing in the top 10 in five of the nine Chase for the Sprint Cup championship races.

He won an emotional race at Pocono Raceway to clinch a Chase berth, celebrating in victory lane with longtime girlfriend Sherry Pollex, who was diagnosed with cancer last summer.

Truex is cramming all the fun he can into this championship weekend after a string of personal and professional hardships.

Truex landed at Furniture Row in the wake of NASCAR’s cheating scandal at Richmond in 2013. Truex was booted from the Chase when NASCAR determined that Michael Waltrip Racing manipulated the outcome of the race in a bid to get Truex into the Chase. Truex lost his job – and can now win a title the same day his old team races for the final time before folding.

NIU continues to frustrate Toledo, WMU DeKALB – It all felt like Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.

No matter how hard Toledo and Western Michigan tried, no matter how many brick walls they painted up like tunnels, Northern Illinois managed to slip by unscathed.

After the Huskies’ dramatic 27-19 win over the Broncos on Wednesday, the Huskies are a win over Ohio away from heading to a sixth consecutive Mid-American Conference West Division title.

“It just wasn’t our night,” Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck said. “We had a lot of opportunities, but again, one thing about [NIU] is they take advantage of those opportunities. They’ve been there, they’ve done that. And we’re just not over that hump yet.”

If there was a year that a changing of the guard in the MAC West would make sense, it would be this season.

First, the Huskies (8-3 overall, 6-1 MAC West) put themselves in a spot in which they needed to win out because they had fumbled away the conference opener at Central

VIEWS Jesse Severson Michigan – their third straight loss at that point.

Then junior quarterback Drew Hare went down with a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in the second quarter of the game against Toledo – with the Rockets holding the lead.

Toledo, by the way, was undefeated and nationally ranked.

It probably was the most vulnerable the Huskies have seemed since they started rattling off MAC West titles in 2010. There was no Chandler Harnish or Jordan Lynch walking onto the field.

But no matter how dire the situation looks, the Road Runner always finds a way to escape – this time with a 32-27 victory in the closing minutes at Toledo.

“One thing I can speak to a little bit is that in my five years here, it’s always a senior-led team – and it always will be,” NIU coach Rod Carey

Next vs. Ohio, 6:30 p.m.

Tuesday, ESPNU, AM-560, 98.9-FM said after the win over Western Michigan. “Every senior class passes it down to the next about here’s what you do and here’s how you do it. Sometimes when guys don’t understand a little thing here or a little thing there, that learning does get passed down. But it’s still in the doing that matters, not just in the learning – the doing.”

It has helped that the Huskies have continued their death-and-taxes reliability in the month of November, winning their 22nd in a row with the victory over the Broncos.

But more important than the 22nd consecutive November victory will be the 23rd.

Even after the dramatic win over the boat-rowing Broncos, the Huskies aren’t quite out of the woods, yet.

The Bobcats are 6-4 overall and 4-3 in the MAC East – not spectacular, but nothing to

look past. Although they lost to Western Michigan, 49-14, and Buffalo, 41-17, the Bobcats also had a 21-10 victory early in the season against Marshall, which is 9-2 on the season.

The road of sports heartbreak is littered with stories of teams that counted their championships before they won them.

Although some Huskies fans likely have started to look into making what for some might seem like an annual trip to Detroit for the MAC Championship on Dec. 4, NIU coaches and players will be hunkered down with their focus on the Bobcats.

If the Huskies do manage to beat Ohio and advance to their sixth consecutive MAC Championship game – this time with a redshirt freshman quarterback – there is one certainty: Toledo and Western Michigan will frustratedly kick up a cloud of dust while the Road Runner speeds off to Detroit.

Harper youngest unanimous MVP; Donaldson earns AL honor

By BEN WALKER The Associated Press NEW YORK – Bryce Harper began this season with one personal goal – and it had nothing to do with homers, RBIs or awards.

“All I wanted to do was stay healthy and stay on the field every day,” he said.

Harper did that, and a lot more. The Washington slugger put behind his injury-plagued past and put up huge numbers, becoming the youngest unanimous MVP winner in baseball history when he captured the NL honor Thursday.

Toronto third baseman Josh Donaldson took the AL MVP after helping to boost the Blue Jays back into the postseason for the first time since 1993.

“We tore down a lot of thresholds this organization has had,” he said.

Harper turned 23 on Oct. 16, after his Nationals had already missed the postseason.

The outfielder got all 30 firstplace votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, and was the first MVP in either league from a nonplayoff team since Albert Pujols with St. Louis in 2008.

“Very excitBryce Harper ed, very humbled,” Harper said.

H a r p e r seemed destined for stardom ever since Sports Illustrated put him Josh on the cover at Donaldson 16. He began with a bang, making the AllStar team soon after his big league debut and emerging as the 2012 NL Rookie of the Year.

But his all-out style of play cost him, too. He missed a slew of games in 2013 after a pair of run-ins with walls, then was

sidelined for much of 2014 following a headfirst slide that hurt his thumb.

The whole way, expectations kept building for Harper, not that he worried about them.

“I just want to do what I do,” he said on a conference call.

This year, Harper played 153 games, avoided the disabled list and kept climbing the stat charts.

Harper hit .330 with 42 home runs and 99 RBIs. He led the majors with a .649 slugging percentage and a .460 on-base average.

He went into the final day of the regular season with a chance to win the NL batting title – Miami’s Dee Gordon edged him – and scored a league-leading 118 runs.

Harper was the first player from a Washington franchise to win an MVP since the BBWAA awards began in 1931 – no one on the original or expansion Senators or Nats had done it.

Harper was the fourth-youngest player overall to win an MVP, with Stan Musial, Johnny Bench and Vida Blue also 22 but not quite as old.

Donaldson led the AL with 123 RBIs and topped the majors by scoring 122 runs. He hit 41 home runs and batted .297.

Trout also hit 41 homers, batting .299 with 90 RBIs and 104 runs.

Traded from Oakland to Toronto last offseason, Donaldson joined a power-packed lineup that included Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion.

The Blue Jays battered their way to the AL East title and topped the majors in runs and homers, with Donaldson leading the way.

Voting was completed before the playoffs began.

“For us to come out on top ...

I definitely think that helped,” Donaldson said.

Donaldson joined George Bell (1987) as the only Toronto players to win the MVP.

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

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

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

When asked about qualifica-

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

It’s incredible!

I’ve never seen an offer like this!”

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

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

Another shot at stardom

Joliet resident and former rhythm and blues artist still has a following

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – For many years, Willie Newsome of Joliet flirted on the edge of fame.

Under the name Willie Parker – and later Frankie Newsome – he performed and recorded rhythm and blues music that people still enjoy today.

Among that music are songs like “Looking In From The Outside,” “Don’t Hurt The One You Love,” “I Live The Life I Love” and “The Town I Live In,” which Newsome, now 71 and a security guard at the Sunny Hill Tuberculosis Clinic in Joliet, will perform Nov. 28 in Manchester, England, at a New Century Soul Club all-night concert.

Northern Soul – a certain style of black American soul music, such as what Newsome sang – is popular in parts of England. In the meantime, Newsome is rehearsing at home to his music tracks.

“I’ve never been out of the country before,” Newsome said, “but they said, ‘Hey, we’re going to take care of you.’ ” To Newsome, singing is as natural as breathing. During his early childhood in Mississippi, Newsome said, he sang wherever he went and didn’t care who heard him. Newsome recalled wanting to join his uncle’s gospel quartet when he was 5.

“I knew I could do that [sing professionally] but they wouldn’t let me,” Newsome said.

A career is born

After Newsome’s family moved to Joliet, Newsome said he sang at school functions – he attended Forest Park, Gompers and Joliet Township – as well as in the children’s choir at his church, Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Joliet, which Newsome still attends today, he said.

When Newsome was 11, a group of male gospel singers, The Chariot Wheels, asked his mother if her son could sing with them. She agreed, so Newsome joined them at venues in

Joliet and Chicago for the next two years.

When Newsome was 15, Junior Adams, a neighbor and owner of The Rock Run in Joliet, hired Newsome to sing at his club. Newsome said Adams promised Newsome’s mother that no one would introduce him to alcohol, so, again, Newsome’s mother said yes.

Around the same time, Newsome was singing with his band at the Peter Claver Center in Joliet when a youth worker, Lawrence Parker, offered to introduce Newsome to singing on the club circuit. That’s how Willie Newsome became Willie Parker.

“I was not old enough to go into clubs. They were pretty strict back then,” Newsome said. “So [Parker] would say, ‘This is my nephew and he sings. Would you let him sing

Newsome still was in high school when he recorded with the band in Chicago. After high school, Newsome pressed clothes at

a cleaners during the week, toured on the weekend and signed recording contracts with Wonderful Records and Impact Records.

“I was looking for the big pot at the end of the rainbow,” Newsome said.

In 1963, Newsome was hired by Caterpillar. When Newsome’s contracts expired with Wonderful and Impact, he signed a contract with another company and recorded “My Lucky Day” under the name Frankie Newsome.

Letting go of the dream – he thought

In the mid 1970s, Newsome quit singing professionally.

“I was tired, disappointed and just done, you know?”

Newsome said. “I needed to revive my life, change my life. I went back to church and backed

off entertaining and the clubs.

I had gone through a divorce and needed to redirect my life.

I went back to gospel singing and put the rest behind me. It was a part of me that I kicked in the closet and slammed the door and went into another direction.”

That is, until a company in Minnesota bought the labels under which Newsome had recorded as Parker. The new owner contacted Newsome and asked if he was interested in performing. Newsome was.

He flies out Nov. 25 and returns Nov. 30. The experience, for Newsome, is surreal.

“This was the farthest thing from my mind; something I’d done that’s gone, but here it is, right back in my life again,” Newsome said. “It’s kind of unique that this is happening all over again.”

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The to and fro of fit-finding

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Albert Einstein said, “If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.”

If a bridge auction does not find the best fit, change the sequence.

Today’s deal was about finding the right suit fit. How should the auction have proceeded, if at all, after South rebid two hearts? (Yes, he might have overbid slightly with three hearts. The most accurate rebid was two-and-ahalf hearts!)

North’s first decision was: pass or two spades? If South was 5-4 in the majors, two spades, the 5-2 fit, probably would have played better than two hearts, a 4-3 fit. But if South had a minimum 5-5, passing rated to be the winner. The key, though, was the strength of North’s hand. If South had enough power to bid a third time, North had sufficient to accept the game-try. So, North correctly rebid two spades.

At the table, South now jumped to four spades. This was a clear error, given that North couldn’t have three spades, because she would have responded two spades, not one notrump. South should have continued with three (or four) hearts, which would have got them to four hearts, a contract that would surely have made.

Four spades was another matter.

West led the club king, then made the excellent continuation of the club 10 to pin South’s eight. South ruffed the third club, cashed the diamond king, played a heart to the queen, threw a heart on the diamond ace and ran the spade jack. Now the roof fell in. West won and led her fourth club, on which East discarded his heart jack. The contract went down three.

Dear Abby: My sister “Adele” chose to adopt a baby boy when she was in her late 50s. She isn’t married. Before the adoption, she asked me if something happened to her, would I take care of the child.

I already had raised my children and was going through a divorce, so I said, “No. I’m too old and I want to enjoy my future retirement.” She got mad.

Adele now is approaching 70 with a high-maintenance 12-year-old son she has signed up for every extracurricular activity under the sun. I have seen him twice since the adoption. If and when the question comes up again, how do I handle it? – Aunt

doesn’t bother me, but what does bother me is they are distancing themselves from me now.

I’m no longer invited to gatherings. My “best friend” doesn’t keep in touch anymore, and I have given up on trying to reach out every time. If I do manage to talk to her, she makes an excuse to get off the phone as quickly as possible.

I have never done this to any of my friends, regardless of whom they were dating or what life threw at them. Is this a normal part of life? Should I reconsider my friendships? – Bothered

In Boston Dear Bothered: Relation-

ships sometimes ebb and flow. Before “reconsidering” these friendships, have a frank and honest chat with these women about why they don’t like your boyfriend. That your BFF would treat you the way she has is puzzling, unless she’s jealous because you spend so much time with your boyfriend or he has offended her in some way.

On a different note, does this man have friends of his own? Do the two of you socialize with other couples? Having been together for a year, are you making new friends together? If the answer to these questions is yes, then it may, indeed, be time to move on from this tribe of girlfriends.

refused her request, your sister probably asked someone else – someone more involved in her and her son’s daily lives – to step in. However, if she didn’t, then in the event of her death or a serious illness that renders her unable to parent her son, you may have to decide what you are prepared to do.

Cross your fingers and hope she remains healthy until her boy reaches adulthood. Then consider this: Your nephew no longer is a little boy. In six years he will be 18. It’s not as if you would be changing diapers and arranging for day care. It shouldn’t ruin your retirement to take him in if he has no one else. Remember the Golden Rule.

Dear Abby: I am a 25-yearold who has been dating a great guy for a year. The relationship is everything I have dreamed of – and more. My only concern is my friends don’t seem to care much for him. That

Note: When completed, the outer squares in this puzzle will contain each of the 26 letters of the alphabet exactly once.

Your partner or a friend can be with you during a C-section if you have regional anesthesia.

That’s not usually the case if you have general anesthesia.

To begin, the doctor will make a low, horizontal incision in the abdomen at or just above the pubic hairline. A vertical incision may be used in an emergency situation.

Next, the uterus is opened. The incision usually is horizontal and low in the uterus. A vertical incision often is used to perform a pre-term cesarean delivery.

The bag of waters is broken. The baby is delivered. The umbilical cord is clamped and cut.

You will get an antibiotic just after delivery to reduce the risk of infection.

The time from the beginning of surgery to delivery of the baby generally is less than 10 minutes. It can take another 30 to 40 minutes to remove the placenta and close the uterus and abdomen with stitches or staples.

C-sections have been performed for several thousand years. However, it is only in the past 150 years or so – since the development of anesthesia – that they have been performed with some frequency. If studies show the baby is just not going to be able to come out through the birth canal, a C-section can be lifesaving, for both baby and mother.

Scheduled C-sections, like yours, almost always are uneventful. You and the baby should do fine.

We asked some favorite Times crossword contributors, “What would you like to do in a daily Times crossword that has never been done before?” This week’s puzzles, Monday to Saturday, are the result.

C R A F T Y

says she is going to have to deliver my baby by C-section. What will happen during this procedure?

Dear Reader: A cesarean delivery, or C-section, is surgery to deliver a baby through the abdomen. It may be scheduled in advance when a woman cannot or should not deliver the baby through the vagina. A C-section also may be performed if continuing with labor or delivery becomes risky to the mother or baby.

Finally, a cesarean may be done as an emergency procedure if there is immediate risk to a mother or baby.

Women undergoing a scheduled C-section should not eat or drink for several hours before surgery. You will take antacids because stomach juices can – rarely – be regurgitated up into a woman’s throat, and then leak down into her lungs during surgery. If you take antacids, the juices contain much less acid.

Just before surgery, an intravenous line (IV) is placed into a vein. It will deliver medications and fluids. It also can provide a blood transfusion during surgery if needed.

A flexible tube is inserted into your bladder to drain urine. Your abdomen and pubic area are washed with an antiseptic or antibacterial soap.

Regional anesthesia usually is used for C-sections. You are awake and alert during the baby’s birth. However, the anesthesia will make you numb from the waist down. You can breathe naturally on your own.

(You will be given an oxygen mask to use as needed.) General anesthesia may be used for some emergency C-sections, but your C-section will not be done on an emergency basis.

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that on Friday, December 4, 2015, at 9:00 a.m., at 500 East Monroe Street, 11th floor, Springfield, Illinois, a public hearing will be held before the Executive Director of the Illinois Finance Authority (the “Authority”), or his designee, regarding a plan to issue not more than $625 million aggregate principal amount of revenue bonds of the Authority in one or more series (the “Bonds”). The proceeds of the Bonds will be lent to CenterPoint Joliet Terminal Railroad LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“CenterPoint”), or to an affiliate of CenterPoint in order to finance and refinance certain costs of the ”Project” described in this Notice.

CenterPoint or an affiliate of CenterPoint will be the original owner, operator, or manager of the Project.

The site of the Project (the “Site”) is the approximately 4,000-acre tract of land located in the City of Joliet, Illinois that is generally bounded (i) on the east by the Chicago-St. Louis Union Pacific Main Line located west of Illinois Route 53, (ii) on the south by Noel Road, and (iii) on the north and west by the Des Plaines River. A more specific description of the Project site may be obtained prior to the hearing from Richard K. Frampton, Vice President of the Authority (tel.: 312-651-1313) or by submitting a written request via email to TEFRA@ilfa.com.

The Project consists of a state-of-the-art intermodal logistics center and inland port. Development within the Site includes an 835-acre Class I railroad intermodal facility, 450 acres of onsite container/equipment management facilities and almost 20 million square feet of related industrial and warehouse facilities. The intermodal facility facilitates the transfer of freight from truck to rail and from rail to truck. Warehouses and other trailer and container storage facilities related to such transfers have or will have loading docks, conveyor systems, cranes, and other related facilities and equipment intended to be eligible for financing as “qualified surface freight transfer facilities” (or facilities related and subordinate thereto) within the meaning of Section 142 (m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance or refinance a portion of the cost of acquiring the Site, together with costs of the site improvements, buildings, equipment, and other improvements included in the Project.

The Bonds will not constitute a debt of the Authority or of the State of Illinois within the meaning of any provision of the Constitution or statutes of the State of Illinois or a pledge of the faith and credit of the Authority or the State of Illinois or grant to the owners thereof any right to have the Authority or the General Assembly levy and taxes or appropriate any funds for the payment of the principal thereof or interest thereon. The Bonds will be payable solely out of the revenues and other funds pledged for their payment in accordance with the Indenture or Indentures authorizing the issuance of the Bonds.

This notice of public hearing is required by Section 147(f) of the Code. At the time and place set for the public hearing, residents, taxpayers and other interested persons will be given the opportunity to express their views for or against the proposed plan of financing. Written comments may also be submitted to the Executive Director of the Authority at his office located at 160 North LaSalle Street, Suite S-1000, Chicago, Illinois 60601 until December 2, 2015.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), if any person with a disability as defined by the ADA needs special accommodations to participate in the public hearing, then not later than December 3, 2015, he or she should contact Mari Money at the Authority at (312) 651-1319.
