When I came to Joliet in January, one of the first questions I was asked by several people was if the new owners were bringing Herald Angels back.

Herald Angels, I learned, is a campaign of The Herald-News to benefit the United Way of Will County that started in 2009 and ran every year during the holiday season through 2012.

The publication provides readers an easy way to donate to the United Way. Send in a donation, and all of it goes to the United Way, which in turn shares the funding with its 45 partner agencies.

We are thrilled to bring the campaign back this year.

Community advocacy is a huge part of Shaw Media’s mission, and resuming Herald Angels is just one way we are demonstrating that.

As happy as I am we are resuming Herald Angels, it’s also sobering to realize how many of our neighbors need the assistance those 45 United Way partner agencies provide. From food and clothes to shelter and crisis intervention, the needs never end.

Thankfully, we have those

VIEWS Kate Schott agencies available to provide assistance to those in need.

We’ll have a story in Monday’s edition to kickoff the campaign. Keep an eye out for ads in the print editions during the next month that provide details on how to contribute. Or, to donate to the campaign, send a check payable to “Herald Angels” to The Herald-News at 2175 Oneida St., Joliet, IL, 60435, or go to the United Way of Will County’s website, www. uwwill.org.

Times have been tough for many. You may be one of those people struggling. So if you can, we will be thankful for whatever you can donate to the 2014 Herald Angels effort.

••• Speaking of being thankful: It’s been a heck of a year for me personally. I accepted a new job, moved to Joliet, and started a new professional and personal adventure. I feel lucky to have landed in a place that immediately felt

like home.

I’m thankful for an editorial staff at the three publications I oversee who are committed to providing quality local journalism for our readers.

I’m thankful for our readers who buy our products or visit us online, and who care enough to write or call me to tell me what they like – or even what they don’t or would like to see changed – about our publications.

I’m thankful for the new friends I’ve made, and the ones I’ve had for decades.

I’m thankful I’ll get to see my family over the Thanksgiving weekend. I’m looking forward to playing with my nephews and niece, and catching up with my brothers, their wives, and my parents.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Cross makes park commissioner selection

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – State Rep. Tom Cross, R-Oswego, has selected Plainfield resident Ridgley Ann “Mimi” Poling as the Plainfield Township Park District’s seventh commissioner.

Poling started her own landscape design business after she graduated from Miami University, according to a news release.

She also attend- State Rep. ed Joliet Junior Tom Cross College.

P o l i n g worked on and off as an adjunct instructor at JJC in horticulture, botany and plant identification between December of 1991 and May of 1997, college spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said.

Cross, who will soon leave his seat in the Legislature after an unsuccessful run for state treasurer, could not immediately be reached for comment Friday.

But he issued a statement saying, “Mimi’s impressive community involvement and experience in education, management and finance make her an exceptionally well-rounded and qualified addition to our park board. Mimi is ready to make a positive difference on day one and help restore the community’s trust in the board moving forward.”

Following park board controversies a public outcry to dilute the majority of three commissioners on the five-member board, House Bill 5593 was created and eventually became law.

The law, proposed by Cross and Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, gave them

each the authority to appoint one commissioner to the park board, expanding it from five to seven members.

Bertino-Tarrant made her selection in Plainfield resident Rob Ayres on Oct. 15. He was sworn in as the sixth commissioner during the Nov. 12 board meeting.

Board President Mary Kay Ludemann said she and park district Executive Director Carlo Capalbo will provide Poling with board orientation before the board’s Dec. 10 meeting, when Poling will be sworn in as the seventh commissioner.

Ludemann said she has never met Poling, but she is excited the board will be complete with seven commissioners.

“Now we can move forward,” Ludemann said. “It’s a very good thing, and now, we can go from here.”

ON THE COVER Vicki Kaminskas and Joe Nurczyk purchased nearly $3,000 worth of kitchen appliances from Grant’s Appliances, Electronics and More before the store abruptly closed in October. The couple was only able to get the microwave they purchased before the store’s closing and had to repurchase a stove and refrigerator at another store.

“Consumers are just another form of creditor. … And the question is as a creditor, how much will they get back?”

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When Carla Bison goes into a store, she wonders – maybe even fears a little – will it close, and take my money with it?

That’s what happened to the St. Charles resident when she spent $3,275 on appliances at a Grant’s Appliances store in Aurora.

The Joliet-based electronics and appliances retailer closed in October because of ballooning debt, which the company plans to pay off through a process similar to bankruptcy.

It appears that many customers who bought TVs, refrigerators and stoves in the last days of Grant’s will never see their appliances – or their money.

“It’s like being robbed, violated,” Bison said. “… Someone took my hard-earned money … somebody just stole my money. So, I’m sad, I’m angry and I’m very frustrated.”

Customers were left clueless as to how to get their purchases or money back until the Illinois Attorney General’s Office announced Nov. 5 the company was undergoing an assignment for benefit of creditors to distribute the assets.

The company distributing Grant’s assets has sent a letter to customers saying that as of Oct. 23, it appears Grant’s has more than twice as much debt as assets. Customers are unlikely to get anything.

The notice from High Ridge Partners Inc. states that once payments are made to holders of security interest and liens, “no assets will remain for Grant’s employee wage claims, unpaid taxes, or unsecured creditors including, without limitation, those customers who paid deposits but who have not received the merchandise they ordered.”

One customer, Joe

Ira Rheingold Executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

A refrigerator bought by Vicki Kaminskas and Joe Nurczyk. The couple was forced to pay for a second refrigerator after the appliances they bought from Grant’s Appliances, Electronics and More never were delivered when the store abruptly closed.

Nurczyk of Joliet, got only a microwave out of the almost $3,000 he spent for multiple appliances. After calling the local authorities and getting nowhere, he said he’s not interested in getting the rest of the appliances or any money back.

“I’m counting it as a loss. I know we’ll probably get pennies on the dollar,” he said.

Customers were instructed to file a claim for money spent, but many are not optimistic they’ll get back what they paid. Many consumer advocacy experts agree customers may not get much compared

to the lenders and banks demanding money from Grant’s.

One expert found it deceptive that Grant’s accepted money for purchases until the time it closed – as one employee said happened – but was not certain that it was fraud.

Customers last in line

The mystery behind Grant’s closing its five stores in the Chicago area and Indiana on Oct. 8 remained unsolved for weeks until the Illinois Attorney General Office’s announcement. The attorney general had received 49 complaints as of Nov. 21. In

Indiana, where Grant’s also had a store, the attorney general had six complaints as of Nov. 18.

One clue was a sign on the door of the Joliet location that said: “Temporarily closed for inventory.” Company representatives – including owners Robert Wysocki and George Olsen – along with their attorney have remained silent since then, despite repeated attempts to reach them since Oct. 9.

With the company dissolving its business to pay off creditors through a general assignment process – similar to a bankruptcy – it’s now possible customers could receive their money.

But it’s not likely.

Grant’s assets have been turned over to assignees with High Ridge Partners Inc., which will distribute them among creditors, including customers. Several calls made to assignees with High Ridge Partners were not returned.

But according to the letter sent to customers, Grant’s unverified and unaudited assets stand at about $6.3 million, while the company has liabilities, or debts, of about $15 million.

Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates, said he wasn’t too familiar with the general assignment process, but in the context of a bankruptcy, customers are last in line to receive their share of the assets.

“Consumers are just another form of creditor. … And the question is as a creditor, how

much will they get back?” he said.

That could depend on how claims are processed, how much money is left and where they fall in line when that money is distributed, he said.

“Is it fair? Absolutely not. … In the context of a bankruptcy, consumers always get the short shrift. They are on the lowest end of the credit chain for sure,” Rheingold said.

With the Illinois Attorney General’s Office being involved, he said it’s possible the distribution of assets will be more fair. Rheingold said the Illinois Attorney General’s office is very consumer friendly.

A company might undergo a general assignment because it’s a more expedient way to liquidate assets, said Dennis Horton, director for the Rockford branch of the Better Business Bureau. He said it happens fairly frequently with companies shutting down.

Linda Sherry, Consumer Action spokeswoman, said the situation is unfair for customers, but any time they make large purchases, they should use a credit card. That helps in case a company goes bankrupt.

“Otherwise, you’re a creditor in a bankruptcy and you have to stand in line, and chances are slim you get something back,” she said.

Not necessarily fraud

Experts could not determine if what Grant’s did could

‘At the end of the day, we don’t know’ Local legislators look for more court guidance on Illinois pension reform

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – Local lawmakers will look for guidance from the Illinois Supreme Court after a judge’s decision Friday to strike down a law intended to fix the state pension crisis.

Sangamon County Circuit Court Judge John Belz ruled Friday the pension overhaul was unconstitutional. In the same afternoon, the Illinois State’s Attorney’s Office announced plans to immediately appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court.

There, lawmakers like state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, hope the court will give more clarity so legislators can craft a constitutional bill that addresses the state’s $100-billion-and-counting underfunded pension system.

“From the very beginning, we knew we had to get a piece of legislation passed and get it in the courts so they could determine whether it’s constitutional or not,” Rezin said. “We can sit and debate

all day long but at the end of the day, we don’t know.”

Under the state constitution, public employee pension benefits are a contractual obligation that cannot be “diminished or impaired.”

Belz wrote in his ruling that the overhaul – which reduces annual cost-of-living adjustments for current and future retirees and sets longer retirement ages – was “unconstitutional and void in its entirety.”

“Those are very strong words, but it’s not a surprise,” said Rezin, who supported the pension bill’s passage in December 2013.

“We hope the court can give some a roadmap on where to go from here.”

Walsh another supporter of the bill, agreed.

“Even if they concur with today’s ruling, I hope the justices on the Supreme Court can at least give us some direction on where the state can go with this,” he said.

State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, echoed those sentiments.

“I’m hoping they’ll say ‘Hey,

this part is constitutional. This seen as constitutional.” part isn’t,’” she said. “I hope they Both McGuire and Walsh were can give us some sort of framework co-sponsors of SB 2404. we can work with.”

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD

In the event the Illinois Supreme Court upholds Belz’s ruling, state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said the state could revisit the union-backed Senate Bill 2404, which passed overwhelmingly by the Senate but was never called for a vote in the House last year.

Unlike the pension overhaul struck down Friday, Senate Bill 2404 gives state employees a choice, he said, which is one way around the Constitution clause that bars the state from reducing benefits unilaterally.

“It’s back to the drawing board, but the drawing board isn’t empty,” McGuire said.

“Senate Bill 2404 rests on the belief that state pensions are a contractual relationship,” he added.

“Under contract law, as long as the principles of acceptance and consideration, which I know as ‘give and take,’ are observed, it could be

EXPEDITED RULING

Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced Friday that her office plans to immediately appeal the decision.

“We will ask the Court to expedite the appeal given the significant impact that a final decision in this case will have on the state’s fiscal condition,” Madigan wrote in the news release.

Governor-elect Bruce Rauner issued a statement saying he hopes the state’s highest court could rule on this “as soon as possible.”

“Today’s ruling is the first step in a process that should ultimately be decided by the Illinois Supreme Court. It is my hope that the court will take up the case and rule as soon as possible,” he said. “I look forward to working with the legislature to craft and implement effective, bipartisan pension reform.”

LOCKPORT – While some Lockport city officials are uncomfortable with the developer chosen to renovate the Volz building, other officials say the deal comes with restrictions to ensure the project is either completed or refunded.

Before City Council members approved Wednesday Lombard-based MadHunt LLC as the developer for the historic Volz building, 933 S. State St., 4th Ward Alderwoman Denise Marynowski encouraged council members supportive of the deal to put up their homes as collateral.

The developers plan to bring new commercial life to a building wrecked in a fire several years ago.

There was little assurance David Mede, a developer with MadHunt LLC, would complete the project since he refused a letter of credit, Marynowski said. City officials were giving away a building for $10 that they bought for about $300,000.

She, along with Second Ward Alderman Kelly Turner, were skeptical of Mede’s past property development experience.

“If this was [1st Ward Alderman] Pete Colarelli’s building and he wanted to do this deal, fine. That’s his gamble,” Marynowski said. “But for me, I believe I’m supposed to watch out for the taxpayers’ money.”

That view was not shared by 3rd Ward Alderman Darren Deskin, who laughed at Marynowski’s proposal at Wednesday’s meeting. Lockport had much to gain from MadHunt LLC renovating the building, he said.

In a statement, Deskin wrote the developers would pay $1.4 million of their own money, and did not ask for

State police crack down

JOLIET – A woman and her dog were able to escape a house fire without injury Thursday.

Battalion Chief Jeff Carey said the woman was cooking about 7 p.m. in her basement apartment in the 600 block of South Des Plaines Street.

“A grease fire started and spread to the papers on the table next to the stove, which got the whole place going,” Carey said.

The fire caused about $30,000 in damage.

LOCKPORT – Illinois State Police District 5 reports issuing 41 citations during patrols aimed at enforcing seat belt and child restraint laws on Wednesday.

The citations included 22 for seat belt violations and two for child restraint violations. Ten warnings were issued.

Yard waste pickup ends Dec. 5 in Joliet

JOLIET – The city of Joliet and Waste Management want to remind residents that the last

For those who will have a real Christmas tree, set it out after Christmas at your normal pick-up location (curb or alley) on your regular trash day for pickup.

JOLIET – A hearing to determine if evidence reports can be used in Eric Glover Sr.’s murder trial is expected to finish Dec. 1.

Glover Sr., 42, is accused of killing Velma Franklin during an argument June 17, 2002, in their Third Avenue home.

He was immediately arrested Eric as a suspect in Glover Sr. Franklin’s slaying, but was not brought to trial before charges were dismissed.

A cold case review by the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office renewed the murder charge against Glover Sr. two

years ago while he was already imprisoned on other weapons convictions.

Prosecutors said ballistics reports should be admitted from a bullet that was destroyed after crime lab testing.

Glover claimed the gun went off accidentally when he fired into the wall two months before Franklin’s killing.

But Franklin said Glover threatened her, according to testimony at an earlier hearing.

The public defender’s office, which is representing Glover, has filed a motion to have the charges against him dismissed.

Testimony and arguments may finish at the next hearing and Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes is expected to decide on the evidence and dismissal the next week.

12 Medical marijuana farm

gets approval in Minooka

By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – In a unanimous vote Tuesday, Minooka trustees approved allowing a medical marijuana farm to be established within the city’s limits.

Medicann LLC received approval for a conditional use permit to build the cultivation facility on six lots on Serena Court in the Minooka Road Industrial Park.

The annexation agreement requires that such a facility be located no closer than 2,500 feet from any school, residential area, day care, church or park, Minooka Mayor Pat Brennan said.

If the facility in Minooka receives state approval, Medicann will contribute $10,000 annually to a charitable organization in town, selected by the village.

“That was their thought,” Brennan said Friday. “They want to be a part of the community. They are a pretty good group.”

The company also will pay a 1.75 percent village tax on its gross sales during the first five years of operation. That amount will increase to 5 percent in the fifth year.

Trustees tabled the agreement twice in the last two months, wanting to research the issue further before voting.

Several residents attended the September Village Board meeting to hear discussion about the facility. One spoke publicly against it, saying such a business should not be promoted and was not a benefit to the community.

Another resident, following

the September meeting, was in favor of the facility because his wife has medical issues that require pain management.

No one from the community attended November’s meeting. Medicann representatives were in the audience to respond to questions.

Illinois law allows just one cultivation center per state policing district. In this case the district covers Will, Grundy and Kendall counties.

The facility is not a done deal, Brennan said. It’s up to the governor’s office to determine where the facilities will locate. Minooka might be just one of their choices, he said.

BIKE PATH WILL MOVE FORWARD

What is a done deal is a proposed bike path starting at Lions Park and connecting up with the path at Vista Commons. The hope is that one day it will connect to Channahon’s paths as well.

Minooka trustees signed an agreement with both Grundy and Will counties, who will each chip in $100,000 toward the cost, Brennan said.

Brennan attended the Will County Board meeting Thursday where the agreement was approved. Grundy had approved it previously.

Brennan has worked to have the bike path installed since 1999, he said. The project was pushed to the top of the list two years ago when Kelsey Little was critically injured after being struck by a car walking near McEvilly and Bell roads.

Minooka’s bike path ends near that intersection.

“It’s been a long, hard battle,” Brennan said. “It’s a go in the spring.”

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Video gaming terminals in Joliet raked in about $806,000 last month – an increase compared to October 2013 – but the number of machines coming online appears to be slowing down.

It’s the same situation statewide, according to the latest figures from the Illinois Gaming Board.

Statewide revenue stood at about $64.5 million last month

compared to $57.5 million in September and $33.9 million in October 2013. But the number of machines and establishments only saw a slight increase compared to the boom experienced since video gaming went live in September 2012.

In Joliet, Blackhawk Restaurant Group LLC’s two establishments and 10 terminals were the biggest money makers. They brought in nearly $90,000 in October. McBride’s Pub came in second with $35,939.

There were 227 establishments in Joliet in October, compared to the 226 in Septem-

ber and 153 in October 2013.

Statewide, there were 4,570 establishments in October, compared to the 4,516 in September and 11,105 in October 2013.

Meanwhile, casino revenue continues to decline in Joliet and statewide.

Nearly all of the state’s 10 casinos saw declines in either revenue or admissions in October, with Harrah’s in Joliet being the only casino with increases in both categories.

Overall, revenue at the state’s 10 casinos was down 2.25 percent, while admissions were down 7.6 percent.

By CHRISTINA CHAPMAN–VAN YPEREN cchapman@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A Thursday night house fire on Main Street in Morris appears to have been caused by an electrical malfunction in the home’s attic, fire officials say.

The Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District was called to a fire at 704 E. Main St., Morris, when a passer-by saw smoke, Deputy Fire Chief Bob Wills said Friday morning.

“I’m glad they called because the neighbors didn’t see

it,” Wills said.

Firefighters were on the scene in four minutes, according to a fire department news release. Emergency responders found a two-story residence with heavy smoke coming from the attic area.

They immediately deployed a hoseline to the second floor and began to pull out the ceiling, finding heavy fire in the attic space.

The fire was under control in 20 minutes, according to the news release.

The house is being rehabbed by an Evergreen Park man, but no one was inside at

the time of the fire, Wills said.

An electrical malfunction in the attic appears to have been the cause. Structure damage is estimated at about $25,000.

“There were no injuries. It was very cold, but the guys did a fabulous job,” Wills said.

The water used to extinguish the fire caused some icing on the streets, so Morris Public Works salted the area.

Morris firefighters were assisted by Minooka, Coal City, Channahon and Lisbon fire departments and Seneca EMS. Grundy County EMA was also on scene, along with Morris police.

14 Lockport seniors group helps out at Fairmont

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – A group of senior citizens in Lockport are committed to giving back to the community and they did so by giving food to the needy a week before Thanksgiving.

The Silver and Gold Club, part of the Lockport Township Park District, held a Free Food Basket event Thursday where members gave away 58 hams and 44 turkeys to needy families who came to the Fairmont Community Center, 525 Barry Ave. Several club members volunteer at the center’s food pantry and they decided they wanted to give food to the people who came to the pantry regularly.

Barb Morrissette, the park district’s senior program supervisor, said the club’s members – whose average age ranges from mid-70s to 80s – are active in the community and take good care of the pantry.

“They’re very good people. Very rewarding people to know,” she said. “They take good care of the community. If they hear if someone is having a hard time, they’ll help them out.”

Helping the club in their event was D’Arcy Motors of Joliet, which donated $500 to help purchase needed food.

Much of food came from the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

Morrissette said the turnout was good, with 102 baskets of food given to people who come to the pantry regularly.

Those people were grateful because it’s “really rough out there,” she said.

The club plans to help out with a Toys for Tots event next, she said.

During the year, the club will plant a community garden, host Black History Month events and a fish fry event in the spring.

“It’s very rewarding to see people give back and that’s what this club loves to do,” Morrissette said.

16 Duchess of Alba dies at 88 The ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID – The Duchess of Alba, one of Spain’s wealthiest and most colorful aristocrats and recognized as the world’s most titled noble, has died. She was 88.

Maria del Rosario Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart y Silva was related to Winston Churchill and shared toys with the future Queen Elizabeth while

living in England as a girl.

Twice-widowed, the fabulously wealthy noble had an outspoken nature and a predilection for extravagantly colorful, almost hippy-style clothing even late in life.

Known simply as Cayetana, she was for decades a mainstay of the gossip press.

She died at her Duenas Palace residence in Seville on Wednesday from pneumonia.

Republicans have accused Obama of overstepping his authority. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Obama, in sidestepping Congress, had damaged his ability to get things done.

Representatives from the Asian-American community leaders said hundreds of thousands of immigrants of Asian heritage will be helped.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan says because the immigration process is often intimidating and confusing, many people seek assistance. She says that’s why it’s important to know where to find honest assistance.

According to Madigan’s office, immigration service providers must register with the office unless they are licensed attorneys. Nonprofits recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals can also offer services.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tate Chambers said from 2008 until his arrest in 2012, Anthony Mansini, with five other people, funneled as much as 10,000 doses of heroin into the Pekin area.

Chambers said three of Mansini’s customers died from heroin overdoses in the months before Mansini’s arrest.

Chambers said Mansini only admitted to selling heroin to 21-year-old James Reader of Pekin, who died in August 2012.

Other overdose victims linked to Mansini were 20-year-old Chanel Berardi and 21-year-old Kyla Frost. Chambers said a total of six people died from heroin supplied through the conspiracy.

The Peoria Journal Star reported three of Mansini’s co-defendants also have pleaded guilty and await sentencing in March.

Hearses arrive in preparation as relatives wait for news of the return of the bodies of those killed in the Mandera attack, Saturday at Wilson Airport in Nairobi, Kenya. Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the Saturday dawn attack on a bus in the northern Kenyan town of Mandera, near the Somali border, in which 28 non-Muslims were singled out and killed.

Somalia’s al-Shabab kills 28 non-Muslims in Kenya

By TOM ODULA The Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya – One gunman shot from the right, one from the left, each killing the non-Muslims lying in a line on the ground, growing closer and closer to Douglas Ochwodho, who was in the middle.

And then the shooting stopped. Apparently each gunman thought the other shot Ochwodho. He lay perfectly still until the 20 Islamic extremists left, and he appears to be the only survivor of those who had been selected for death.

Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, attacked a bus in northern Kenya at dawn Saturday, singling out and killing 28 passengers who could not recite an Islamic creed and were assumed to be non-Muslims, Kenyan police said.

Those who could not say the Shahada, a tenet of the Muslim faith, were shot at close range, Ochwodho told The Associated Press.

Nineteen men and nine women were killed in the bus attack, said Kenyan police chief David Kimaiyo.

Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the killings through its radio station in Somalia, saying it was in retaliation for raids by Kenyan security forces carried out earlier this week on four mosques at the Kenyan coast.

Kenya’s military said it responded to the killings with airstrikes later Saturday that destroyed the attackers’ camp in Somalia and killed 45 rebels.

“The United States condemns in the strongest terms today’s horrific attack in Kenya by the terrorist group al-Shabab against innocent civilians,” said Bernadette Meehan, the spokeswoman for the National Security Council in Washington.

“The United States stands with our Kenyan partners in the effort to counter the threat of terrorism and affirms our ongoing commitment to working with all

Kenyans to combat these atrocities,” her statement said.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also condemned the attack.

The bus traveling to the capital Nairobi with 60 passengers was hijacked about 50 kilometers [31 miles] from the town of Mandera near Kenya’s border with Somalia, said two police officers who insisted on anonymity because they were ordered not to speak to the press.

The attackers first tried to wave the bus down, but it didn’t stop so the gunmen sprayed it with bullets, said the police. When that didn’t work, they shot a rocket propelled grenade at it, the officers said.

The gunmen took control of the vehicle and forced it off the road, where they ordered all the passengers out of the vehicle and separated those who appeared to be non-Muslims – mostly non-Somalis – from the rest.

Vicki Kaminskas and Joe Nurczyk purchased nearly $3,000 worth of kitchen appliances from Grant’s Appliances, Electronics and More before the store abruptly closed in October.

There were management tight-knit group of six employees, but he estimates there are issues at the company as well,

Tarman said. There was no leadership among employees, many of whom were leaving and not being replaced.

One event Tarman said probably helped drive the company into the ground was the promotional rebate program several years ago that resulted in customer lawsuits.

In 2012, Grant’s agreed to pay $600,000 in a settlement with customers who sued in 2010. In the lawsuit, the complainants alleged Grant’s promised customers a $500 rebate for gas and groceries if they registered for the company’s promotional rebate program and spent more than $399 at its stores.

Customers said they didn’t receive the rebates as promised. Grant’s agreed to a settlement, but denied allegations of wrongdoing.

Throwing good money after bad

According to an attorney who represented one of the clients in the settlement, the money has been paid to the customers. But since Grant’s closed, it’s only seen more legal trouble.

Two customers – Marion Fuller of Joliet and Wally Kaczmarczyk of Lemont – are suing the company for losses amounting to $568 and $10,000, respectively. But both are con-

The summons issued in the cases also have not been successfully delivered to Grant’s owners.

“That’s like throwing good money after bad money,” Fuller said.

Kaczmarczyk is one customer determined to get his money back: He visited the Naperville home of Wysocki, one of the owners. But nobody answered the door and there was a forsale sign on the lawn.

A Will County lawsuit filed by a lender against Grant’s lists addresses for owners Wysocki and Olsen in Naples, Florida.

Bison and another custom-

er – Joy Tinsman of New Lenox, who lost more than $20,000 worth in appliances – feel the same way. Bison said she is seeking free legal assistance to see what can be done, but Tinsman is not optimistic.

“You probably don’t want to sue because you’re going to end up incurring legal fees, probably still won’t get what you want back. So, damned if we do, damned if we don’t,” she said.

Tinsman said she believes Grant’s owners deliberately took their money.

“They’re using the people’s money. It’s being used to pay off their debt, which is wrong,” she said. “I don’t know how else I can put it. It’s wrong.”

be considered consumer fraud, even though many customers might think so. Horton said it was difficult to determine, since an intent to defraud people must be proven.

“Because they have set up this assignment, that in and of itself says they don’t intend to defraud their creditors,” he said.

Rheingold said the company clearly violated the terms of its agreements with customers, but he wasn’t certain if that constituted consumer fraud.

Customers are “certainly getting screwed here, but there’s different degrees of these kind of things,” he said.

Sherry said she wouldn’t call it fraud if the company knew it was going to close its stores months in advance yet continued to do business.

But it was deceptive.

“It wouldn’t necessarily be fraud per se, because it’s not like the company could keep its gains. It has to pay out. It’s got creditors lining up at the door,” she said.

Dear DA: Yep, that broker is right on the mark. In about a year, you could turn $2,500 into $25,000 with the right stocks. The key phrase is “the right stocks.” However, I doubt that this broker is the proper professional to give you advice. Any broker with enough smarts to turn

$2,500 into $25,000 wouldn’t be buying brake pads and headlights at AutoZone to install on his wife’s car. He’d take that car to a service station and have a mechanic do the job.

There are 37 or so pot stocks trading between a penny and a buck – with questionable revenues and no earnings – just waiting for pigeons like you to take a position. You’d make more money selling the product than buying the stock.

Man gets prison for role in cybercrime ring The 48-year-old admits to working as a ‘casher’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS TRENTON, N.J. – A New York City man was sentenced Friday to more than three years in prison for his role in an international cybercrime ring that prosecutors say hacked into the computers of more than a dozen financial institutions and the U.S. military’s payroll service.

Richard Gundersen received a 41-month prison term and was ordered to pay $88 million in restitution. He had pleaded guilty to conspir-

acy to commit wire fraud, access device fraud and identity theft.

The 48-year-old Brooklyn man admitted working as a “casher” for the crew. That involved opening bank accounts in the names of identity theft victims, funded by money stolen as part of the conspiracy.

Prosecutors say the scheme was led by Oleksiy Sharapka, of Kiev, Ukraine, who served an 8 ½-year sentence in federal prison in Massachusetts for a similar scheme.

Prosecutors say the current scheme began around the time Sharapka was deported in 2012. He remains at large.

Financial institutions, whose computer networks

were hacked, were Aon Hewitt, Automated Data Processing Inc., Citibank, E-Trade, Electronic Payments Inc., Fundtech Holdings LLC, iPayment Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, Nordstrom Bank, PayPal, TD Ameritrade, TIAA-CREF, USAA, Veracity Payment Solutions Inc. and the payroll arm of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Once inside the computer networks, the conspirators sought to divert money from customer accounts to prepaid debit cards they controlled, prosecutors said.

As part of the scheme, cards were obtained in the names of people whose identities had been stolen. Stolen identities were also used to file fraudulent tax returns

with the Internal Revenue Service seeking refunds.

The group sought to defraud the companies and their customers of $15 million, according to the U.S. attorney’s office. Two other members of the group were sentenced last month.

JOLIET – The Illinois Poison Center presented the Lifesaver of the Year award to the Will County Board for its strong support this past spring in urging state lawmakers to continue funding the nation’s longest-standing poison center.

The center estimates it saves the state $52 million a year with a budget of only $4.3 million.

Without it, more patients would rely on 911 and hospitals. The center can treat 90 percent of people at home without referral to a health care facility. Nearly 90,000 people call every year.

Class receives school supplies from JB Hunt

JOLIET – J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. donated $1,000 worth of school supplies to Daniela Matiasek’s fourth-grade class at Pershing Elementary in late August as part of J.B. Hunt’s Adopt-a-Class program.

Adopt-a-Class focuses on giving back to schools across the country. J.B. Hunt drivers were asked to nominate their children’s classrooms, and 10 were selected nationwide. J.B. Hunt driver William Rathbun nominated his son’s classroom to participate in the program.

Rathbun then delivered the supplies in his J.B. Hunt truck and gave students a tour of it.

For information about the Adopt-a-Class program, contact Courtney Howard at 479-4193253. For information about J.B. Hunt, visit www.jbhunt.com.

purchased.

Be mindful that a tax lien is profitable only when purchased on a property whose value is significantly higher than the amount of the tax lien. And this is a vicious business. You’re competing against experienced, well-financed syndicates, mortgage companies with loans on that property, investors of significant means, and professionals who manage money for the wealthy, pension plans, endowment funds and the like. Competing with these pros is like watching a 125-pound 14-year-old kid compete for a left tackle slot with the Chicago Bears.

Ninety-six percent of property owners pay their taxes within the stipulated time frame, so most lien investors get back just their principal plus interest. And the properties with the best potential usually avoid the auction process and are privately reserved for political friends.

Profits from liens are enormously exaggerated, so don’t quit your day job.

Dear Mr. Berko: What are tax liens? A local businessman offers a course for $2,700 that supposedly would show how I could keep my AutoZone job and make $75,000 or more buying tax liens part time. I could cash in $13,000 from my wife’s individual retirement account to begin with. It sounds like a dream come true and something I could easily do, and I could use my truck as an office. It wouldn’t require a college degree, and I could quit my AutoZone job, which pays $12 an hour, because I don’t need to make $75,000 a year; $50,000 would be plenty.

Also, what do you think about marijuana stocks? A broker who bought brake pads and headlights for his wife’s car from me last week said that if I invest $2,500 in several of the right pot stocks, this money could grow to $25,000 in a year. –

beer in the other. They dream of being rich enough to enjoy big-screen TVs, SUVs, ATVs, fast cars and the good life.

We dream of “being rich” because dreaming about “how to become rich” is too much work. But when touts such as that businessman appear in our vision field, dreaming about how to become rich is easy. This flimflam man is bad for your financial health.

Investing in tax liens commenced shortly after our country was founded. Tax liens are obligations that local taxing authorities (county or city) place on a piece of real estate when it becomes apparent that property taxes will not be paid by the owner.

Lien investors purchase tax lien certificates (usually at a government auction) for the delinquent amount from the local taxing authority.

The investor expects to receive the return of his original investment plus interest, usually between 3 and 8 percent. If the delinquent taxes are not paid, the investor’s lien (which takes precedence over any mortgage) allows him to own and sell the property. Property owners usually have six months to two years to pay the taxes and interest after the lien is

OUR VIEW

Happy days at gas pump helps economy

The price of gasoline is a lot like the weather.

Temperatures go up, they go down, weather extremes strike (like super early Arctic cold snaps), people talk about it, but there’s not much anyone can do about it.

Similarly, gasoline prices go up, they go down, people talk about it, but there’s not much anyone can do about it.

Except when the prices fall below $3 a gallon, people can smile and enjoy the savings. It is a nice change compared with prices that were about a dollar a gallon higher as recently as June.

During those five months, according to the Associated Press, the global price of oil has dropped 31 percent. Factors in the decline include strong worldwide oil production and weakening worldwide fuel demand.

Nationwide, according to Friday’s AAA Daily Fuel Gauge, the average price of regular gas in the United States was $2.84. And, according to an Energy Department report issued last week, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. next year will be $2.94 – a drop of 44 cents from only a month earlier.

Global conditions could change, of course, but if the $2.94-a-gallon estimate is accurate, according to the AP, American consumers will save $61 billion on gasoline purchases in 2015 compared with this year.

That is good news for multiple reasons.

Lower fuel costs give consumers more money in their pockets to use as they see fit. Bills will get paid off, and savings accounts will see new deposits, which are good developments on the personal finance front.

And a lot of people, sporting renewed confidence in their own finances, will go out and spend some of the windfall.

Who will benefit? Restaurants. Grocery stores.

Clothing stores. Tire stores. Furniture stores. Electronics stores. Book stores. Retail establishments of all types.

Charities could benefit, as people with more disposable income will be more likely to give some of it away.

Lower fuel prices should ripple through the economy. It’ll cost less to plow snow, haul garbage, transport goods, drive kids to school and make deliveries of all kinds.

With the Christmas shopping season kicking into gear, the timing could not have been better.

So, we’ll bundle up and complain about the unseasonably cold temperatures – even as we smile while buying cheap gasoline.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

We can fix our broken immigration system After months and months of delay, President Barack Obama has decided to issue an executive order of reforms to fix our broken immigration system.

It’s about time.

It’s been more than 500 days since the U.S. Senate passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill with strong bipartisan support. That bill continues to await consideration in the U.S. House, where Speaker John Boehner could pass it without breaking a sweat. Not only is there bipartisan support for this legislation, the American people also support comprehensive immigration reform.

Once more, Republicans are looking for excuses and not solutions. Let’s remember back in March 2010, when Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., speaking for the Republican Leadership said, “I expressed [to Obama] in no uncertain terms, my belief that immigration reform could come to a halt for the year if health care reconciliation goes forward.”

VIEWS Donna Brazile After Obama’s re-election in 2012, things seemed to take a different path. Republicans began praising the idea of immigration reform. Reflecting the new mood on Capitol Hill, Fox News host Sean Hannity said, “We’ve got to get rid of the immigration issue altogether ... You can’t let the problem continue. It’s got to stop.”

In March of 2013, Boehner expressed support for an immigration bill that a secret, bipartisan group of eight senators had forged (the one ultimately passed by the Senate in June 2013), cautioning that he had a lot of educating to do among House Republicans.

Despite what many saw as a number of good-faith efforts by Boehner to get immigration reform passed, he failed. In March

of this year, he said he was “hellbent on getting this thing done this year.” But in June of this year, Boehner told the president that immigration reform would not happen in 2014.

Obama had enough.

If Congress would not act, he would. Obama said he’d take action by the authority vested in his office by executive orders.

In doing so, he was following the pattern of every other president over the past 60 years, who have each taken immigration-related executive action (a total of 39 times).

President Ronald Reagan granted asylum relief to 200,000 Nicaraguans, even if their cases had been denied; President George H.W. Bush included nearly half of undocumented immigrants at the time in his “Family Fairness” policy, which allowed for deferred action and work authorization to keep families together.

See BRAZILE, page 33

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

STUDENTS SHOULD BE PROUD OF HONORING VETERAN

To the Editor: I would like to sincerely express my thanks to The Herald-News staff for their heart-warming article “Belated Honors” that ran on page 3 of the Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2014, edition.

The very, very well-deserved honorary diploma granted to this fine gentleman and U.S. Navy World War II veteran by the students of Joliet West High School (Human Services, Health and Medicine Academies) was truly an incredibly unselfish gesture.

These fantastic students and their teachers/supervisors should be very proud of

themselves for this outstanding celebration in honor of these veterans who fought valiantly to keep our freedoms alive.

God bless all of the veterans, not just on Veterans Day, but on every day of the year.

Sincerely, David R. Marco Joliet

GIVE SENIORS A BREAK ON TAXES

To the Editor: An open letter to our senior citizens: At age 87 and a veteran of three years in World War II and working for 30-plus years and paying Social Security, the government, at times, taxes Social Security benefits. Oh, sure, we made good investments which should be none of the government’s business.

Congress makes more money than we ever will. Many will be millionaires with a big pension.

I found out that until 1984, Social Security benefits were exempt from the federal income tax. The exclusion was based on rulings made in 1938 and 1941 by the Department of the Treasury (found on page 10 of the online resource “Social Security: Calculation and History of Taxing Benefits”).

At our age, sickness sets in with huge money spent on medicines, etc.

Why can’t Congress stop tax-

ing our Social Security after the age of 80? Reason they don’t is because Congress would lose money for their retirement pensions, etc.

Call the White House at 202456-1111 and tell the President and Congress to give us seniors a break. We made this country greater than these young bucks and ladies serving in Congress.

Please give them a call. You deserve better. Thank you.

HOSPICE MEETS NEEDS OF FAMILIES

To the Editor: November is National Hospice Month. For nearly 11 years, I have had the privilege to minister with the most dedicated, caring and compassionate teams of nurses, nurses’ aids, social workers, and grief counselors. Supporting these teams are physicians, a nurse practitioner, many volunteers, and our office staff at Joliet Area Community Hospice.

Together we focus on meeting the medical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients, their caregivers, and their families. So, this is a time to honor not only those at Joliet Area Community Hospice but teams like ours who make an incredible difference daily in the lives of so many terminally

ill patients, their caregivers, and their families throughout our nation.

This remarkable group of people plays a significant part in our health care system. Hospice is unique in the care that is provided to our patients and families. Hospice is typically thought of as a place to go, instead of a philosophy of care.

The hospice philosophy is to have these teams of people together discuss the best course of action for the patient and the family.

In addition to pain and symptoms management and end-of-life care, social, spiritual and grief services are provided to patients and family members. Hospices coordinate with doctors, pharmacies, medical equipment and supplies vendors to facilitate delivery and availability to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Joliet Area Community Hospice visits patients and their families wherever they reside. It could be in their home, nursing home, or assisted living facility.

We meet the patient wherever they are, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Since 1982, our community has counted on us to give them comfort, compassion, and care in the final journey of life.

Tom Marciani Chaplain of Joliet Area Community Hospice

Full details of president’s immigration plan will emerge • BRAZILE Continued from page 32 Obama is likely to pursue a similar path, in addition to directing enforcement of deportation proceedings to those undocumented immigrants with criminal records. In a world of finite resources, this makes perfect sense. We shouldn’t be breaking up families when resources could be better utilized.

As important as the president’s executive order is, our immigration system cannot be fixed solely through executive action. Major reform, if it is to happen, must occur through

the legislative process. Republican members of Congress need to get on board, or else our system will remain broken, bringing continued pain to millions of families across the country.

As one might expect, when Obama announced he’d use executive orders as Reagan and H.W. Bush had done to address our broken immigration system, Republican leaders saw an “out” from the public’s heat they were taking for not acting.

Some began talking impeachment, including Newt Gingrich. Yahoo! News last week published an article entitled “Republicans weigh govern-

ment shutdown to stop Obama on immigration.”

The full details of the president’s plan will soon emerge, but according to White House sources, the key elements are as follows: “The president’s Immigration Accountability Executive Actions will help secure the border, hold nearly 5 million undocumented immigrants accountable and ensure that everyone plays by the same rules.

“These executive actions crack down on illegal immigration at the border, prioritize deporting felons [not families] and require certain undocu-

mented immigrants to pass a criminal background check and pay their fair share of taxes as they register to temporarily stay in the U.S. without fear of deportation.”

This is just the beginning.

More needs to happen to implement comprehensive immigration reform. The question is, will Congress finish the job?

Now that the president has issued the order, he must find a way to work with Republicans in Congress for a bipartisan bill – like the one crafted by Democrats and Republicans in 2013.

The ball has landed in the Republican-controlled Con-

gress’ court. They can finish the job or simply wait until the results of the next election in 2016 to see if they can regain the White House to overturn it all. Too bad they simply cannot allow Obama to do what Republican Presidents Reagan and Bush did – to advance immigration reform and help families come out of the shadows and stay together.

To the Editor: The “Real Life Adventures” cartoons carried in this paper are very astute commentary on life. Two recent ones concerned if Congress represents us or just the rich people and corporations.

Our media talks about the corruption in the Mideast, Africa, Russia and Latin American being institutionalized. The media has said Illinois and Chicago have corruption problems making them sound unique. We aren’t special.

Most states have an institutionalized graft because of money. If someone wants to run for an office, they need money.

Then they need more money to run again and again. To get all the money needed they do favors. It might be a vote for or against a bill, an influence call, or publicity support for a viewpoint.

Then there’s outright graft where someone goes to D.C. with a few thousand in the bank and has a few million when he retires. A former state representative wanting my financial support to run for congress told me in a rare moment of honesty that he wanted to go to D.C. so he could make more money. He retired very wealthy.

The media and the Feds make a big deal of minor infractions like selling stamps or taking

paid-for-by-others vacations.

The real bribes are written up by those in Congress to be legal. The foxes in D.C. make all their activities in the hen house legal and protect their own regardless of party. Remember $200,000 in a congressman’s office freezer. Chicago, Illinois and other states are in the minor leagues compared to Washington, D.C. Do you think the four billion spent on the last election came without strings?

No, not strings – chains.

After the bidding, what comes next?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

The opening lead decides the fate of the contract a fair amount of the time. To gain some help with this aspect of the game, you could do a lot worse than to buy “Larry Teaches Opening Leads,” which has been written and published by Larry Cohen.

It starts with 50 large pages of basic instruction, each chapter ending with a quiz. Then over the last 14 pages, Cohen moves on to more advanced topics like Rusinow and third-and-fifth leads, which are popular in the tournament world. There is also a discussion of later leads -- as in today’s deal from the book.

Look at the West and North hands.

Defending against three no-trump, you (West) lead the heart seven, of course.

South takes the trick with his jack and attacks diamonds. What is your plan?

You know that declarer started with the heart ace-king-jack. You need partner to be long and strong in spades. (If South has at least 15 highcard points, partner cannot have the club ace-queen.)

So, in case declarer has five club tricks to go with three hearts and one diamond, you should take the second trick and immediately shift to the spade three, the low card saying that you have at least one honor in the suit and are trying to win tricks in this suit.

(If you had wanted partner to go back to hearts, you would have led a high spade, not your lowest.)

Partner wins with his spade jack and returns a low spade to your king.

Your side takes one diamond and four spades for down one.

Here, if you duck the second trick, partner will discard the club two on the next diamond, making the spade switch even clearer.

Dear Doctor K: Eat right. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke. Stay active. Can you give me some motivation to keep up these healthy behaviors?

Dear Reader: I think I get your message. This column frequently presents information from scientific studies about healthy lifestyle. But information alone may not be enough to change behavior -- and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to change behavior, particularly when you enjoy it. Information doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t equal motivation.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not an expert on how to motivate people, but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I motivate myself. I ask myself what I want from life. In terms of health, I want to live as long as possible, free of suffering and with my faculties intact.

Then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to love and be loved, and to enjoy the things I most enjoy, for as long as possible.

So the next question is: How do I get there?

And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean how do I guarantee Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll live a long life, free of suffering and decrepitude.

Because there are no guarantees in life, only odds.

You want to know what the odds are that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll achieve your goals, and what you can do to improve your odds.

At least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I want to know.

How do I find out what my odds are, and how to improve them?

I believe in science. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that any single scientific study is infallible, no matter how impressive it seems.

But I believe that the collective information from many well-done studies is the best, and maybe the only, way Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever learn what I need to know.

For example, in a recently published study, a research team followed nearly 17,000 men and women, aged 17 years and older, for 18 years.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff They meticulously collected information on the lifestyle, the illnesses, and the life or death of the study participants.

In other words, they studied more than 300,000 years of human experience.

They compared study participants who ate a healthy diet, got enough physical activity, drank alcohol in moderation and never smoked to those who engaged in none of these healthy behaviors. The first group lived an average of 11 years longer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the latest study that says that the lifestyle we call â&#x20AC;&#x153;healthyâ&#x20AC;? really is good for our health.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more good news. The same healthy lifestyle practices that cause you to live longer make those extra years healthier.

Healthy lifestyle does not just prolong your decrepitude.

Even more good news: You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to banish all unhealthy practices from your life, always and forever. What matters is your usual behavior. Take me, for example.

Does Doctor K always follow the healthy lifestyle advice he gives in this column? Some questions answer themselves.

Information motivates me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so does emotion.

If family and friends encourage me along the path Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen, and if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to disappoint them, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more likely to follow that path. I hope this advice will help you find the motivation you need to stay healthy.

If anyone has the gall to make a negative comment, her response should be that the pregnancy was terminated because her doctors told her that carrying it to term might have resulted in her death.

Anyone who would judge your wife after hearing that isn’t worth her time or yours. Trust me on that.

Dear Abby: I was at my eye doctor’s yesterday, sitting in a small waiting room waiting for my eyes to dilate. There were five of us in there, quietly thumbing through magazines or listening to a TV on a low volume.

A woman in her 20s walked in and joined us. No sooner did she sit down than her cellphone rang. For the next half-hour she proceeded to talk loudly. I was so annoyed and distracted it was all I could do not to grab that phone out of her hand. Other people looked her way, but no one said anything.

There was no sign requesting people to turn off their phones. Abby, what can be done about cellphone rudeness? – Miffed in Massachu-

setts

Dear Miffed: Someone should have gotten up, complained to the office manager that the extended phone call was intrusive and disturbing everyone, and suggested that a sign be posted telling patients that cellphones are to be used only in emergencies.

Dear Abby: My wife and I have been married 13 years.

Early on, we struggled to have children and needed reproductive specialists in order to have our two beautiful girls, ages 4 and 8.

During my wife’s second pregnancy she had ministrokes. We were advised against another pregnancy, which surprisingly happened two months ago. Faced with the difficult decision of continuing the pregnancy and risking my wife’s health, or ending the life of a child we would never see, know or raise, we chose the latter.

My wife feels I’m not grieving because I’m trying to show little, if any, emotion.

I assure you I hurt inside enormously. How can I reassure her of such, while trying to be a “strong man”? And how do we avoid the stigma associated with our choice by those who may have known about the pregnancy? Never has the quote “Don’t judge people until you have walked a mile in their shoes” rung so true. – Dad of 2 Flowers and

CLASS 7A SEMIFINALS: PROVIDENCE 41, MOUNT CARMEL 21

Celtics, Boykin sweep away Caravan

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent CHICAGO – On a cold and dreary Saturday afternoon at Gately Stadium, Providence continued its quest for a 10th state football championship, crushing Mount Carmel, 42-21.

In 2004, the Celtics defeated Mount Carmel in the regular season and survived a memorable 16-15 double overtime Class 6A semifinal win over the Caravan. One week later, the Celtics earned their ninth IHSA state championship trophy after beating Bloomington, 40-0, in the Class 6A championship game.

After claiming a 33-14 regular-season victory, Providence (12-1) again defeated the Caravan in the semifinal and denied them a chance to play for their third consecutive title and record-tying 13th championship. The Celtics will face

undefeated Cary-Grove (13-0) at 4 p.m. Saturday for the Class 7A championship in Champaign.

Notre Dame-bound wide receiver Miles Boykin returned to action after missing the Celtics’ 23-6 quarterfinal win last week against Wheaton Warrenville South and made his presence felt immediately.

He grabbed a lateral from quarterback Justin Hunniford and fired a 36-yard strike to receiver Matt MacNab for a quick 7-0 Celtic lead with 7:43 in the first quarter.

“It was a tremendous call,” Boykin said. “Matt was wide open, and I was able to get him the ball for the touchdown. My finger is fine, and I do whatever I can do to help us win. This was a great victory for us, and we are very happy to be heading downstate facing another great team in Cary-Grove.”

Three plays later, lineback-

er Emmet Trost recovered a Mount Carmel fumble at midfield, then tailback Richie Warfield scored his first of three touchdowns on a 17-yard catch from Hunniford.

In the second quarter, the Caravan (8-5) closed to 14-7 on a 7-play, 80-yard drive capped by a 2-yard scoring run from Jaquan Buntyn. The Celtics answered with a 7-play, 80-yard drive, ending with Warfield’s second touchdown from 2 yards out to increase the lead to 21-7.

On the ensuing kickoff, Celtic Nick Griffin’s bone-crushing hit separated the Caravan kickoff returner from the ball.

Erik Carroll scooped up the fumble and ran 20 yards into the end zone for another Celtic score.

Hunniford hit Boykin from 38 yards out to increase the Celtics lead to 35-7 in the third quarter. Hunniford completed 12 of 16 passes for 204 yards and two

touchdowns, and now has 3,164 yards and 41 TDs on the year.

Boykin hauled in five of Hunniford’s tosses for 110 yards.

“It’s unbelievable to be going downstate,” Hunniford said. “I was able to experience this in the spring with the baseball team. It simply was one of the greatest feelings I have ever had. To be going down with this group of guys is awesome. We played the best game of the season. We played fast.

We played physical and came out of this with the win.”

Warfield, who rushed for 53 yards on nine carries, scored from 2 yards out to conclude the Celtics scoring. Mike Markasovic rushed for 26 yards on a pair of carries and caught three passes for another 36 yards.

“It feels incredible to be going downstate in my sophomore year,” Warfield said. “I am so happy for the seniors

that all of their hard work has paid off. We clicked on all levels today. I had a good day today thanks to my offensive line. Miles was back, and Justin was just Justin today, leading us to victory.”

The Providence defense shut down the Caravan attack all day. Mount Carmel scored a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter with the Celtics ahead, 42-7.

“Great victory for the program,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said. “Great victory for the seniors, whose goal from day one was to be Catholic League Champs and to go downstate and hopefully win a state championship. Miles is so talented and threw a great pass on the play. Justin Hunniford had another Justin Hunniford day for us. The offensive line kept Justin clean, which was a concern for us going into the game.”

CLASS 3A SEMIFINALS: WILMINGTON 46, BYRON 13

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 23, 2014

WILMINGTON – How appropriate it was that Wilmington offensive coordinator Barry Southall was the recipient of the dumped water bucket as the final seconds ticked off?

The soaked Southall called an impeccable game, and his charges, led by his son, quarterback Mason Southall, executed equally well Saturday night as Wilmington dominated Byron, 46-13, in the semifinals of the Class 3A state football playoffs.

The result is veteran Wildcats coach Jeff Reents will be taking his second team – the other was in 2003 – to a state championship game at the University of Illinois in Champaign. Wilmington (130) will face Williamsville (130) at 4 p.m. Friday for the 3A title.

“I really can’t grip all of this yet,” Reents said. “I was more concerned with this game. I’m proud of my staff.

It’s great when you can put all the things together like this.”

Indeed, the rest of the equation was field position and defense. All the Byron offense could muster was a touchdown pass at the end of the first half that never would have happened had the Wildcats not committed a personal foul penalty on a fourth-down incompletion and a 77-yard run against the Wilmington reserves after the running clock clicked on in the fourth quarter.

Byron (8-5) was bidding to become the first team since the eight-class system was installed in 2001 to finish 2-7 one season and reach a state championship game the next.

But it was evident early on that the Tigers were unlikely to make that happen.

Mason Southall got things rolling early. Wilmington has been a running team almost exclusively during the playoffs. But on the second play of the game, he went deep to Joe Mann off play action for 48 yards to the Byron 24, setting up Nick McWilliams’ 1-yard touchdown run and a 7-0 lead.

“It doesn’t happen all the time. We can do it, but it’s a week-to-week thing, depending on where we think we can attack an opponent.

It is nice, though, that we can do it and spread out our options.”

Alex Zlomie Wilmington football player, on the team’s big pass plays

mie and McWilliams scored from 38 yards out in the second quarter to build a 19-0 lead.

Leading, 19-6, to open the third quarter, the Wildcats erased all doubt. After forcing a punt, they marched 61 yards to a touchdown, Southall’s 15-yard touchdown pass to Zlomie. The flood gates were open.

“That was huge, to stop them to start the third quarter,” Reents said “I told the guys at halftime, if I had said you’d be up, 19-6, would you take it? And you would have said yes. I said, ‘Let’s go get the momentum back,’ and we did.”

After a Byron kickoff return to the 6, Mann, a linebacker, moved up from his linebacker spot and intercepted a pass in the flat for a 6-yard pick-six and a 32-6 lead.

Zlomie opened the fourth quarter with a spectacular 10-yard touchdown reception from Southall, and Southall finished the deal with a 17yard touchdown scramble on a fourth-and-7.

“My dad made good calls,” said Southall, who completed 7 of 9 passes for 163 yards and rushed for 63 in eight carries.

“But I credit my offensive line [tackles Derek Kirchner and Bailey Boswell, guards Kyal Davis and Alec Siriani and center Ben Studer]. I had time in the pocket all night, and they did some great run block-

ing, too. And Zlomie had some great catches.”

Zlomie, an all-state defensive back, finished with five catches for 94 yards and the three scores. Nick Hawkins rushed for 62 yards in 12 carries and made a nice catch on a 21-yard reception, and McWilliams totaled 61 yards in 14 carries.

“It doesn’t happen all the time,” Zlomie said of Wilmington’s big pass plays. “We can do it, but it’s a week-to-week thing, depending on where we think we can attack an opponent. It is nice, though, that we can do it and spread out our options.”

“Alex [Zlomie] had a great game, and Mason [Southall] was all over the place,” Reents said. “When we can throw,

we’re dangerous with receivers like Zlomie, Mann and Hawkins.”

Byron was bigger than Wilmington, but the Wildcats’ quickness up front won the war on both sides of the ball. Kirchner, Davis, Siriani, Zach Youell and McWilliams all made big defensive plays.

McWilliams forced and recovered a fumble, and Jake Capwell also fell on a fumble in the second half.

“We knew we had to play assignment football,” Mann said. “We had to stick to our reads.”

The Wildcats were flagged for 90 yards in penalties. But otherwise, they would love to bottle this performance and break it out on Friday in Champaign.

CLASS 4A SEMIFINALS: CHICAGO PHILLIPS 26, COAL CITY 6

Phillips runs past Coal City in 4A semifinal

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – In many games this season, the Coal City football team fell behind early, only to regroup and rally for a victory.

In fact, last week’s win over Manteno in the Class 4A quarterfinals saw the Coalers score 22 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.

In Saturday’s semifinal game against Chicago Phillips at Gately Stadium, Coal City did fall behind early, but this time, the comeback was not to be. Phillips, which became the first Chicago Public League team to reach a state title game since Robeson in 1982, scored on its first two possessions to take a 12-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

Corey Warren, who finished with 210 yards on 29 carries, broke free for a 46yard gain to the Coal City 3 on the Wildcats’ first drive, and quarterback Dewayne Collins (20 carries, 122 yards) scored from the 2.

Coal City faced a fourthand-inches on its first drive and gave the ball to Jack Dibble, who entered the game with 2,528 yards rushing on the year. On that play, however, the aggressive Phillips defense stopped Dibble for no gain and took over at the Coal City 44.

Warren started the drive with a 23-yard gain, and Collins finished it with a 6-yard TD run for a 12-0 lead with 6:15 to play in the first quarter.

“They are a very good football team,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said about Phillips. “They are very disciplined and have exceptional athletes.”

After the two teams traded punts, Dibble broke loose on a 51-yard gain to the Phillips 22. It was the longest gain of the night for Dibble, who finished with 132 yards on 34 carries. A pass interference call moved the ball to the Wildcats’ 13, and Dibble scored on a 2-yard run. The kick was blocked, and Coal City trailed, 12-6, with 25 seconds left in the first.

ABOVE LEFT: Coal City’s Nick Micetich and Jack Dibble stand on the sidelines during the second half. ABOVE RIGHT: Coal City’s Brad Littleton is tackled during the second half.

“Jack got his yards,” Onsen said. “But the breakaways that have been there most of the year weren’t there tonight. Because of that, the comeback wasn’t there for us tonight, either.”

Coal City had a chance to take back the momentum when Matt Long forced a fumble and a Coaler teammate recovered.

Phillips returned the favor by intercepting a pass, then scoring on the next play on a 41-yard pass from Collins to Amani Jones. Collins then hit Quayvon Skanes on the twopoint conversion for a 20-6 lead.

After another interception, Phillips took over at its 41 and took over with its ground game. Warren and

Collins shouldered the load, with Collins delivering the big play, a 20-yard run to the Coal City 5. Warren took it over from the 3, and the Wildcats led, 26-6, with 4:55 to play in the first half.

Neither team scored again in a physical, hard-hitting second half. Phillips did enter the Coal City red zone, but the Coalers forced and recov-

ered another fumble.

“They were a good team,” Dibble said. “But so are we.

I don’t think the score indicates how good of a team we have. We made some mistakes that got us behind early, but this time we weren’t able to come back.

“It was a fun run to get this far, but it stinks to have it end a little too early.”

CLASS 6A SEMIFINALS: LEMONT 35, PEORIA NOTRE DAME 28

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 23, 2014

PEORIA – Slowing down a Peoria Notre Dame juggernaut that was averaging 50 points a game and hadn’t scored less than 41 points in any contest was the difficult challenge that faced Lemont in Saturday’s Class 6A semifinal game.

But because of a gutsy defensive performance from coordinator John Howell’s group and another productive showing from the team’s offense, the Indians are headed back to the state finals for the first time since 2008.

Coach Bret Kooi and Lemont will both be headed to the finals for the third time after Lemont held off the Irish, 3528, in a clash of unbeatens at Peoria Stadium.

“Our kids matched them when we had to,” Kooi said.

“We thought that we might get out of the gates a little slow defensively because the double wing takes some time to adjust. But once we did, our kids hunkered down and we kept moving the ball and scoring when we had to. Notre Dame was good up front, and its backs are good and the guy who was underrated was their quarterback, who’s bigtime. Everyone loves the flash of offense, but you hang your hat on a solid defense, and it’s helped John to know we can score points.”

Lemont, which will play Nazareth Academy at 1 p.m.

Saturday in the 6A title game at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium, becomes only the second team in the 14year history of the eight-class system to go from 3-6 one season to a 13-0 start the next.

“They run the wing-T, and we don’t see that often, so it was a tough few days of preparation and we tried to just get the kids to just read small,” Howell said. “We had a couple of penalties that extended drives for them, but for the most part, these kids played their rear ends off. We told the kids that we’d lost the last two semifinals we’d been in in tough situations at the end, so I feel for those guys. For our kids, they’ve bought into what we’re doing and they play hard

Lemont’s (6) Anthony Martin looks up field for some running room against Peoria Notre Dame High School in a Class 6A semifinal game Saturday at Peoria Stadium in Peoria. Lemont won, 32-28, to advance to the 6A championship game. for us. We’ve got one more and know we’ll have our hands full.”

Things didn’t get off to a good start for the Indians as Notre Dame’s Andy Shadid (19 rushes, 134 yards) ran up the middle for a 76-yard score on the second play of the game.

But Lemont countered three plays later when Flynn Nagel (11 catches, 176 yards) caught a flat pass from Ryan Dawson (22 of 29 passing, 273 yards) and exploded 85 yards for the tying score.

“The first touchdown obviously was big for them, but when we got on offense we knew that we had to respond,” Nagel said. “I didn’t have to do much on that play since the blocks were there. It felt good getting the lead, but we couldn’t get too conservative and had to keep attacking them offensively and bringing it to them defensively, and

that’s what we did. I remember watching my brothers playing for state championships, so it means a ton to us.”

The Indians moved in front for good on the first play of the second quarter when Marcin Orszulak kicked a 35-yard field goal.

They extended their lead to 16-7 a few minutes later when Dawson tossed a 17-yard pass to Jamie Glista. And then after an Irish fumble that was recovered by Ian Hinchley at Notre Dame’s 20, Orszulak connected for a 31-yard field goal to increase the lead to 19-7.

Notre Dame looked like it was stopped on downs at Lemont’s 24 shortly before the break, but a roughing the passer penalty kept the drive alive, and Demarco Washington scored on a keeper to pull the hosts to within 19-15 at halftime.

“We drove three hours from

Lemont on a mission with one thing on our minds, and that was to win, whatever it took and whatever we had to do,” linebacker Hunter LaDuke said. “In a sense, our defense kind of holds things together, and that’s been an advantage.

This is unbelievable. We’ve been out there every day grinding, and this is the result that we get.”

In the third quarter, Nagel scored on a 2-yard run and Alex Bousky kicked a 38-yard field goal for the Irish as the Indians took a 26-18 lead into the final period. Lemont took its biggest lead, 32-18, with 8:31 left when Dawson scored on a 2-yard run.

But the hosts got new life when they converted a fourthand-16 when Washington’s pass bounced off Jacob Hurst and was hauled in by Shadid for a 69-yard gain. Three plays later, Washington ran in from

4 yards out to close the scoring with 2:56 remaining.

After a Shadid pickoff with 1:21 left, Notre Dame got one last series, but Washington’s desperation pass with 13 seconds left was deflected by Jeremy Fejedelem and picked off

by Nagel at the Indians 16-yard line.

Jimmy Kepouros caught nine passes for 65 yards, while Anthony Martin gained on 50 yards on 14 carries for the Indians.

“When you play a team that’s well-coached and has good players, you have to prep really hard, and our coaches did a great job of that,” said Matt Martenson, who had a fourth-quarter pickoff. “We knew we had to stop the inside and outside run and did a pretty good job of that. This was a team effort, and we kept going until the end and never gave up.”

BOYS BASKETBALL

SPC shapes up as North vs. East

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com On the recent national letter-of-intent signing day, Plainfield East’s Aaron Jordan signed with Illinois, Plainfield North’s Trevor Stumpe with Wofford.

Southwest Prairie Conference basketball enthusiasts will be the big winners this winter. Not only will Jordan face Stumpe at least twice, but the surrounding cast in each of those programs also is strong. When the teams meet twice in the SPC schedule, fireworks can be expected.

Coaches Bob Krahulik at North and Branden Adkins at East both are shooting for a season of 20-plus victories.

Along with Bolingbrook from the SouthWest Suburban Blue, the Tigers and Bengals rank among the top three large-school teams in the Joliet area.

“We went 21-8 last year and expect to be even more successful this year,” Krahulik said. “We’re expecting to not just make a run at the regional, but also the sectional and supersectional with Trevor leading us.

“We are big, talented, deep and skilled. We just need to be better defensively to attain our goals.”

Krahulik said the Tigers’ weaknesses are overall speed and on-ball defense.

But their assets are many.

At 6-foot-5, Stumpe can play virtually anywhere on the floor.

He handles the ball well, has big-time range on his shot and can take the ball to the basket. He knocked down about 25 point a night last season.

Kevin Krieger, Jake Nowak, Cody Conway and Stumpe give North four returning starters. Krieger and Nowak are capable scorers in their own right. Some of the Tigers’ top reserves also have varsity experience.

“We are tall and lengthy, good shooters and have skilled players,” Krahulik said. “We’re very versatile and very deep.”

BOYS BASKETBALL

Sure sign of Thanksgiving –holiday tournaments

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Plainfield North’s Trevor Stumpe drives toward the basket during the first half of a game against Lemont during last season’s Martin Luther King Day of Hoops at Joliet Central.

Coming Monday As the new season begins, we will preview area teams in the SouthWest Suburban and other conferences.

North will play in this week’s Joliet West Thanksgiving Classic, so that will be an opportunity for fans to get an early look.

Meanwhile, Plainfield East won the SPC title last year with an 11-3 record. If there is a weakness for the Bengals, it may be a bench that is not overly deep.

“Our goals are to repeat our conference championship, compete for regional and sectional championships and win 20-plus games,” Adkins said.

Jordan, a 6-5 guard, is among the best shooters in the Chicago area. The future Illini said he has added some strength since last season to help cope with the physical defenses he is sure to face.

Joining Jordan in the starting lineup are athlet-

ic 6-7 junior Elyjah Goss along with three seniors – 6-8 James Clarr, 5-10 Wynston Wright and 6-1 Wilyam Wright.

While North and East are picked to battle for the conference title, with Oswego perhaps in the mix as well, the other Joliet area schools in the SPC have reason to believe they can be competitive.

Minooka finished 1714 last season and returns starters Joe Butler and Jon Butler, plus Kent Hudson and Austin Guglielmucci.

Joe Butler is a junior and Jon a sophomore, and both started on varsity as freshmen. The Indians’ top newcomers include Nick Clemmons, Blake Parzych and Larry Roberts.

“We are young but talented,” Minooka coach Scott Tanaka said. “I believe that by the end of the season, we will be a very tough basketball team.”

Plainfield Central returns Robbie Brooks, Justin Windt and Johnny Kostelz from a team that finished

around .500.

“We have a little bit of everything,” Wildcats coach Steve Lamberti said. “We have some size, shooting, athleticism, quickness and toughness, and the guys are hungry to be successful. We are looking to make some noise and battle with everyone.”

Plainfield South returns junior Jacob Buchner and senior Shane Ritter but otherwise is new. Three starters have limited experience.

“We are a team that has not played together a whole lot,” Cougars coach Tim Boe said. “Our chemistry will be tested early, but our senior leadership has been awesome so far.”

At Romeoville, coach Marc Howard returns three starters and is looking forward to a breakout season from 6-5 junior Matt Cappelletti.

“We have a solid guard rotation with strong senior leadership,” Howard said.

“We have eight seniors who are the focus of building a winning tradition.”

From the standpoint of local sports, the Joliet area has two much-anticipated Thanksgiving traditions.

The big one, of course, is preparing to cheer the area’s teams on to state football championships.

The other involves the sound of the bouncing ball.

That’s right, the boys high school basketball season tips off Monday, with two holiday tournaments occurring in Joliet. The annual WJOL Thanksgiving Classic will be played at University of St. Francis, while Joliet West hosts its Tiger Thanksgiving Classic.

The WJOL Classic has eight teams. Joliet Catholic, Joliet Central, Plainfield Central and Romeoville are in Group A. Lockport, Minooka, Providence and Rich East are in Group B. Games are scheduled Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at USF. Saturday games kick off at 11 a.m. and conclude with a 4 p.m. title game between the Group A and Group B winners. One game will be played off-site on Monday as Romeoville visits JCA at 7 p.m.

The Joliet West Tiger Classic has two four-team pools and also will play games on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, with the title game between the two pool winners tipping at 5 p.m.

Saturday.

Rich South, Tinley Park, Plainfield South and Joliet West comprise Pool 1. Crete-Monee, Thornridge, Seton and Plainfield North are in Pool 2.

The games Monday at West begin at 5:15 and 6:45 in the fieldhouse and the gymnasium.

Elsewhere in the area, the four Lincoln-Way schools will battle in a round-robin Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights at Lincoln-Way North. Plainfield East is involved in the St. Charles East Tournament and will play four games beginning with one Tuesday night.

The Coal City Tournament entered the weekend with potentially changing plans because of the success of Coal City’s and Wilmington’s football teams.

LOUISVILLE 31, NOTRE DAME 28

Missed field goal hands Irish second straight loss

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Louisville didn’t panic when Notre Dame, aided by a 61-yard punt return, scored two quick touchdowns early in the third quarter to take the lead.

The Cardinals answered with a pair of touchdowns of their own, stopped Notre Dame at the 9-yard line and avoided overtime when Notre Dame’s Kyle Brindza kicked a 32-yard field goal as the Cardinals held on for a 31-28 victory Saturday.

“Things were a bit rough there for a minute,” Louisville quarterback Reggie Bonnafon said. “We just kept our compo-

sure and knew that we were going to turn it back around and keep executing our game plan and that’s what happened.”

The Irish had a chance to force overtime, but Kyle Brindza missed a 32-yard field goal wide right with 51 seconds left.

It was the second straight time a missed field goal cost Notre Dame a game. Brindza missed a field goal in overtime a week earlier against Northwestern.

“We’ve lost back-to-back games because we couldn’t put down a ball and kick it 32 yards,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.

Bonnafon ran for a pair of touchdowns and threw a 21yard scoring pass to DeVante

Parker for the Cardinals. Bonnafon was 8-of-31 passing for 180 yards with one interception.

“Reggie did an unbelievable job in the fourth quarter of leading us down the field,” Petrino said.

The Cardinals (8-3, No. 24 CFP) kept alive their hopes for a third straight season of at least 10 wins. The Irish (74), after starting the season 6-0 and being ranked No. 5, have lost four of their past five, and the three straight losses is the longest losing streak for the Irish since Kelly’s first season as coach in 2010.

“It definitely hurts,” Notre Dame quarterback Everett

Golson said.

The Irish gave up 30 or more points for the sixth straight game, the first time that’s happened in 126 seasons of football. The 242 points Notre Dame has given up in the span is the most ever by Notre Dame in six games.

The Irish – already playing without defensive lineman Sheldon Day, a captain, and middle linebacker Joe Schmidt, a leader, because of injuries – lost defensive lineman Jaron Jones and cornerback Cody Riggs early in the game because of injuries.

“We played a lot of freshmen in there and a lot of young guys. They battled as best they

could,” Kelly said Radcliff rushed for 136 yards as Louisville amassed 229 yards rushing while holding the Irish to 99 yards running.

“We felt like we could run the ball, and we did it late in the game, which is real important to winning games,” Petrino said.

Parker, who missed the first seven games with a broken bone in his foot, was held to fewer than 100 yards for the first time in four games with four catches for 65 yards.

Cardinals safety Gerod Holliman didn’t get an interception, so he remains one shy of tying the NCAA record.

• Sunday, November 23, 2014

CHAMPAIGN – Backup quarterback Reilly O’Toole led Illinois on a late drive that set up a game-winning David Reisner field goal, delivering a 16-14 win Saturday over Penn State.

Reisner hit from 36 yards with eight seconds left on the clock. Minutes earlier he missed a 50-yarder that would have put Illinois on top.

O’Toole relieved an ineffective Wes Lunt late in the first half. O’Toole finished 18 of 25 for 157 yards and a touchdown for Illinois (5-6, 2-5 Big Ten).

Northwestern 38, Purdue 14: At West LaFayette, Indiana, Northwestern linebacker Jimmy Hall set up 14 points with an interception and a fumble recovery, and the Wildcats beat Purdue.

A victory against Illinois on Nov. 29 would make the Wildcats (5-6, 3-4 Big Ten) bowl eligible.

GIRLS SWIMMING STATE MEET

Plainfield co-op’s Kramer makes more history

By TIM O’BRIEN Shaw Media Correspondent EVANSTON – Plainfield co-op’s Carly Kramer had a doomsday moment.

Standing on the blocks in the state championship heat of the 100-yard butterfly Saturday, Kramer wondered what could go wrong.

“I was afraid my goggles would break or I would get disqualified,” Kramer said with a smile. “Something where I wouldn’t be able to finish the race.”

Making program history, Kramer had no such worries

as she finished in fifth in the 100-yard butterfly (56.06 seconds).

It was the first time a Plainfield girl swam in the finals of the state championship meet.

“It means a lot to me that I made that top heat,” Kramer said. “No one has done it in Plainfield history, so it’s cool to be the first one.”

A three-time state qualifier, Kramer improved on her eighth-place finish last season in the butterfly. Through Friday’s preliminaries, the junior was seeded third overall (55.19).

A little disappointing?

Yeah, but Kramer still has one more crack at a state title next year during her senior season.

“Hopefully, it’s my best year yet,” Kramer said. “I’m disappointed that I dropped down [two places Saturday], but I’m still happy I got the opportunity.”

In finishing eighth last season in the butterfly, Kramer won her program’s first state medal.

Lincoln-Way East’s Makayla Varga just missed reaching the finals in the 100 butterfly after placing 13th (:56.71).

She also swam a leg on the

16th-place 200-yard medley relay (1:47.59), which also featured Michaela Mitchell, Cailin Merck and Susan Stelmar.

East’s Fiona McDermott had the 20th-best 200-yard IM showing (2:07.95) while Mitchell had the 21st-best time in the 100-yard backstroke (:58.14).

Lemont’s Alex Knutte turned in the 18th-best preliminary time in the 200-yard freestyle (1:55.15).

In diving, Lockport’s Carolyn Dietz posted the 17thbest preliminary score (181.7) while teammate Jessica Wirtz had the 23rd-best effort (172.65).

If Sunday’s meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers comes down to Lovie Smith and/or Josh McCown, the Bears could be in trouble.

Certainly everyone understands why so much is being made of Lovie’s return after his nine-year tenure as Bears coach that ended two seasons ago.

But the reality is his new team is 2-8. And coming into Chicago at the end of November, it will be more than a little disappointing to Bears fans if they stay close enough to the Bears over 60 minutes for Smith to be able to impact the game with any coaching decisions or special motivation.

The same can be said of McCown. Through 10 games his offense is 28th in total yards, 28th running the ball, 19th in passing and 25th in points scored.

It should be tailor-made for a Bears defense that finally bounced back Sunday at home against a similarly challenged Vikings offense.

While the Bears will attempt to pressure McCown early and

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush often, Jared Allen and Willie Young know it will be almost as important to keep him in the pocket.

Some of the Bucs’ offensive struggles come from an inability to run the football. Their rookie sensation of two years ago, Doug “Muscle Hamster” Martin, has been unable to stay healthy ever since, and Bobby Rainey and Charles Sims spend as much time on the training table as they do in the huddle.

But where the Bucs can scare you is at wide receiver with Pro Bowler Vincent Jackson on one side and rookie sensation Mike Evans on the other. At 6-foot-5 each, they can remind you of Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery and pose a real challenge for Tim Jennings and Kyle Fuller.

The real puzzle of these Bucs is they’re as bad on defense as they have been on offense, but they are coming

off their best performance of the season last week against Washington.

The Bears may get a huge break. One of the Bucs’ two best players and real difference makers, weakside linebacker LaVonte David, has been limited all week by an injured hamstring.

The Bucs spent a small fortune on Michael Johnson to rush off the right edge, which could challenge tackle Jermon Bushrod, but Johnson has disappointed to date.

Tampa also spent big on Alterraun Verner at cornerback and invested a second-round pick on Johnthan Banks in 2013 to man the other corner, and they’ve done enough to cause Smith to get away from his Tampa 2 and play some man-to-man.

This is a game the Bears should win, and coach Marc Trestman hopes they’ll keep their focus there and not on their old coach and teammate.

A passion for support and caregivers Persistence leads to support groups finding new home at Easter Seals Joliet Region If you go

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – For the past several years, Ed Vascik, 86, of Plainfield, relied on the caregiver support group at Leeza’s Care Connection in Joliet as he cared his wife Mary, 83, who has Alzheimer’s disease.

When the national nonprofit organization – founded by television personality Leeza Gibbons – which provided support to people with memory disorders as well as their caregivers, closed its Joliet doors earlier this year, Vascik wondered where he would go.

He’s happy that Easter Seals Joliet Region has welcomed the group into its fold, as Vascik never wanted to miss a meeting.

“It’s a place where we meet and compare notes,” Vascik.

“They’ve taught me a lot of things, like how it’s important for caregivers to take care of themselves.”

In large part to Kathy Miller, former program and outreach director at Leeza’s Care Connection, and her persistence in keeping two support groups going – the one for caregivers and a second one for individuals who have experience a brain injury – that Easter Seals Joliet Region, known for its pediatric services, is hoping to expand its services to include people of all ages with disabilities.

This, said Deb Condotti, president and CEO of Easter Seals Joliet Region, is consistent with the goals of Easters Seals as a national organization. Furthermore, both Condotti, (who was caregiver to her parents), and Miller, (who did the same for her mother), understand how crucial those services are, especially when the individuals providing hands-on care and making critical end-of-life decisions are spouses, sons or daughters.

“I’ve sat in these support

That’s why Miller was less concerned about losing her job at Leeza’s Care Connection than she was for the needs of her clients. Where, Miller said she had wondered, would they find support and information?

Miller said she explored various solutions – funding and other nonprofit options, meeting at a church and then a restaurant. She was thrilled when Easter Seals expressed genuine interest.

“They offered me free office space, Internet and a conference room to continue the groups,” said Miller, who had done marketing for an assisted living facility in Iowa before coming to Leeza’s Place in

2005. “It’s worked out great.”

The catalyst was a client, a man with a brain injury who needed his support group and said so to Vanessa Hunter, director of residential and social services for Easter Seals Joliet Region. Hunter told Condotti, who agreed something should be done.

Molly Snodgrass, who had a traumatic brain injury in 2004 as the result of a fall and helped begin the brain injury support group at Leeza’s Place in 2008, also feels such a group is invaluable.

Sometimes, Snodgrass said, the general public mistakes a brain injury for stupidity or drunkenness, and people with brain injuries can endure ridicule from others. A support group becomes a haven.

“You can talk to people that have the same disability and life challenges,” Snodgrass said.

The support groups restarted in May 2014. In August, Condotti said she received a $2,500 grant from Joliet Township trustees, which is used for refreshments, fliers, mailings and a stipend for the facilitator of the support groups.

The facilitator is usually Miller, Condotti said, although there is a back-up.

Since then, Condotti and Miller collaborated on a new vision – the Caregiver Connection of Will County, which would run as a service of Easter Seals. If plans go well, this could be as soon as spring 2015, Condotti said.

Condotti and Miller have written a letter of intent, are working with a grant officer and are actively seeking funding. Condotti said. Of course, Condotti also would like to eventually hire Miller, whom Condotti called unique, energetic and committed, “if she

hasn’t been scooped up by then.”

Clients like Ed Merzlock of Shorewood will assuredly benefit from the new programs. Merzlock was the primary caregiver for his mother Catherine until she died a few months ago. Merzlock still attends the caregiver support group, as solace in his grief and as a way to share his knowledge with others, he said.

One fallacy about caregiving is that women make better caregivers than men, Merzlock said, because they are typically considered more nurturing. But caregiving requires a broad base of skills to manage the well-being, financial and legal needs of both the giver and recipient. Merzlock also had a contingency plan in place, in case his mother outlived him.

“I don’t think people look down that road,” Merzlock said. “They really need education.”

For those reasons, Miller is thankful for Easter Seals and the opportunity to continue and expand the support journey with her clients, even on a volunteer and grassroots basis, she said.

“It’s something I love and want to continue doing it,” Miller said. “I have such a strong passion for it.”

THE HERALD-NEWS PLAINFIELD – Plainfield North High School seniors Irfaan Khalid and Molly Widing; Plainfield South High School senior Olivia Malone; and Plainfield High School Central Campus senior Alec Sobkoviak are among about 16,000 National Merit Scholarship 2014-15 semifinalists nationwide.

The program, which honors academically talented

high school seniors and lets them compete for 7,600 National Merit Scholarship awards, worth more than $33 million. The awards will be announced next spring.

About 15,000 of the 16,000 2014-15 semifinalists are expected to be named Finalists, and about half of the Finalists will be named National Merit Scholars.

To become a National Merit Finalist, students must have an outstanding

academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier qualifying performance.

The 2014-15 Merit Scholarship winners will be announced between April-July 2015. They will join more than 308,000 other distinguished students who have earned the National Merit Scholar title.

THE HERALD-NEWS LOCKPORT – The Career and Community Connections program has relocated from State Street in downtown Lockport to Lockport Township Central Campus after the district remodeled space to accommodate the life-skills program.

The former woodshop and woodshop classrooms have been remodeled to house the CCC, which is a community-based educational program that focuses on the needs of students as they prepare for adult life.

The newly-renovated space includes a classroom, tutor/conference room, large kitchen/living area with all new appliances, new restroom and a new HVAC system. New flooring and furnishings also were installed.

The new CCC space is much larger than the former space, allowing more students to participate in the program.

The total cost of the remodel was $115,152, which

The CCC provides activity-based opportunities and instruction to develop independence to the level that will enable students to be productive members of society and focuses on vocational/career, social/recreational skills and independent living skills.

Benefits for CCC students include developing commu-

nication skills and competency skills through guidance and work experience, which will prepare students for employment and job maintenance.

Students develop human relation skills, personal traits and work habits necessary for transition into the work environment and social community. Students develop leadership skills to promote productive and responsible personal involvement in school, on the job and in the community.

Students learned and revisited schoolwide expectations through role playing activities, discussions and a video featuring students from Frankfort Square School. As a culminating activity, selected students participated in a relay race,

in which the goals of the race were to have fun, root for their classmates, and create a poster with the PBIS expectations. The posters will be used as visual reminders to be respectful, be responsible and be safe.

PEOPLE BRIEF Frankfort school hosts PBIS kick-off

FRANKFORT SQUARE – On Aug. 29, the students and staff of Frankfort Square School held a Welcome Back to School and Positive Behavior Inventions and Supports kick-off assembly.

JOLIET – Under the guidance of Joliet West High School teacher Jennifer Galloy, the school is garnering national attention for its bright and articulate students through its participation in the PBS NewsHour program.

Most recently, Joliet West High School student Kyra Adams was featured in a NewsHour segment as she discusses the recent events in Ferguson. She was one of 18 students featured for responding to the post: “How have the events in Ferguson, Missouri affected your views on race and justice in America?” Adams’ response was part of a rapid response question that garnered at least 40 submissions from students from around the country.

Last year, PBS selected
