“Hey sis, text me when you get done with work.”

That was the text I received in October 2011 from my older brother, Patrick. As he had married the year before, I thought maybe he was going to share the news that he and his wife were expecting. I finished editing that day’s paper, and called him as I headed out to my car.

“I have testicular cancer,” he said. Patrick – just a year and two days older than me – has never been one to dance around the edges. He was matter of fact: I’m going in for surgery in a few days, and I’m going to beat this.

He was just 34, married, and thriving as a high school teacher in Rockford. To be in his mid-30s and have cancer ... it was something I never expected to hear. I’ve never felt more helpless then in the minutes after we hung up. I sat in my car and cried.

In what can only be an act of grace, a few weeks later I found something small I could do when I learned about Movember.

Movember is a portmanteau of “moustache” and “November” and is a campaign “committed to changing the face of men’s health,” according to The Movember Foundation’s website. “Mo Bros” start clean-shaven Nov. 1 and commit to growing a

ON THE COVER

VIEWS Kate Schott moustache for a month while fundraising for men’s health.

The campaign started in Australia in 2003. The money raised is used to combat prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health issues of men, according to the website.

Movember came on my radar thanks to a longtime family friend, Jake, who mentioned on his Facebook page he was taking part. He grows elaborate mustaches and speaks out about the need for better funding for men’s health.

I donated that year. And I’ve donated, either to him or others I know taking part, every year since.

Patrick had the tumor removed. He later had an additional surgery to remove the lymph nodes in his torso; apparently, this limits the cancer’s ability to spread elsewhere in his body (although the stitching left his stomach looking like a football). His positive attitude throughout the surgery and recovery set the tone for the rest of the family.

My brother (who gave me permission to write about this) has been cancer free since the removal of his tu-

mor. He and his wife have an 18-month-old son who cracks up everyone he meets with his sunny disposition and mischievous grin.

I still donate to Movember because more research and awareness needs to be done.

And because I think the moustaches Mo Bros come up with are pretty sweet. If you’ve seen a Mo Bro this month, ask them why they take part in the initiative. Listen to their story. And if you’re so inclined, donate to the effort. I know I’ll appreciate it.

Joliet lights up downtown with annual parade and tree-lighting event

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – A downtown Joliet parade Friday celebrated the start of the holiday season by lighting a giant Christmas tree and pounding the night sky with fireworks.

Hundreds of people crowded the streets downtown to see the “Light Up the Holidays” parade. Some gathered in nearby parking decks and inside the upper floors of buildings to see the Christmas-themed floats pass by.

It was the 10th year of the festival and parade, which was sponsored by the University of St. Francis.

“We are happy to help Joliet light up its holidays,” said Arvid Johnson, USF president, before the parade began.

The parade was the culmination of holiday events during the day, such as ice sculpture performances.

While the weather was typically cold for a late November night, the lack of wind and blowing snow was a plus for many who came out.

Before the start of the parade, a giant Christmas tree at the Van Buren Plaza was lit and fireworks set off from above the Rialto Square Theatre.

Kim O’Neill of New Lenox said it was her first time at the parade and she was having a great time with her family. She enjoyed watching the marching band, bagpipe musicians and gymnasts.

“I love it. It seems like businesses are coming back to the area. It’s nice to see,” she said.

For many local businesses, the parade was a chance to not only celebrate the holiday season and city pride but advertise themselves to hundreds of Joliet residents.

One focus of the Light Up the Holidays festival and parade is to encourage people to visit downtown businesses.

The parade also had floats and festive participants from

law enforcement agencies, schools and community organizations.

D’Arcy Motors of Joliet had one float of a trolley-like vehicle that had the look and ringing noises of an old train.

“We thought that was

cool,” O’Neill said.

Some floats that caught the crowd’s attention included one that showed a life-sized Charlie Brown and Snoopy inside of a snow globe. Another was a giant penguin float with the words “Downtown is

the [heart] of the community,” across its belly.

One float that drew cheers and claps from the crowd was a Milano Bakery vehicle.

Bread from the vehicle was passed out to the audience.

Joliet City Council members had their own float in the parade as well. Two other city officials – Mayor Thomas Giarrante and District 2 Councilman Robert O’Dekirk – each campaigned for mayor at the

parade.

But one float that was met with excitement was from Joliet City Center Partnership showing Santa Claus, who waved at the crowd.

That was the best part of the parade for Dwight Bendel and his granddaughter. Bendel said he was at the parade last year and said this one was different.

“It’s a little warmer and it seemed to be longer,” he said.

Joliet police: Victim shot multiple times

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The homicide victim found early Thanksgiving morning on a city sidewalk in Joliet had been shot multiple times, police said.

Dante Campbell, 34, was found by Joliet police at the corner of Henderson and Chase avenues after they received a call at 1:29 a.m. Thursday about shots being fired in the area, Deputy Chief Al Roechner said.

Campbell, a resident of the 1000 block of Charlesworth Avenue, was pronounced dead at 3:10 a.m., according to the Will County Coroner’s office.

Campbell had been shot multiple times, Roechner said.

Police have not found wit-

nesses to the shooting, Roechner said Friday. He asked anyone who saw anything related to the incident to call the police department’s investigation line at 815-7243020.

Future Rialto marquee a memorial to donor’s parents

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Ed Czerkies didn’t have his name on the Rialto Square Theatre marquee Monday.

But when it came time to announce his $ 3 5 0 , 0 0 0 d o n ation to replace that marquee, Czerkies became a performer on stage, telling a Ed joke that fit into the theater’s Czerkies vaudeville origins. The punchline was, “Everything but my earrings.”

The retired construction magnate had sought a way to honor his late mother when he was put in contact with the theater staff. Czerkies found himself “getting emotional” as he spoke about having her name on the front of the building. A sign under the marquee will read “In memory of Michael and Mary Czerkies.”

“She didn’t have a lot of education, but she was very intelligent,” Czerkies said.

Rialto General Manager Randy Green said replacing the current marquee, believed to be the fourth on the front of the 88-year-old theater, has been a focus for nearly five years.

“It’s gone well beyond its useful lifespan. We have literally been keeping [part of] it together with duct tape,” Green said.

Green said the old ballasts and neon tubes used in the marquee have become obsolete and are difficult to replace. The individual letters have become brittle.

tigation. We’re looking for witnesses,” he said.

An autopsy was scheduled for Thursday. Final cause and manner of death will be determined at a later date pending police autopsy, the coroner’s office said.

Man dies while hospitalized after Joliet fire

The new marquee combines state-of-the art light-emitting diode screens under the theater name written in classic script.

“We wanted a design that fit into our architecture, not a sleek 21st century-looking board,” Green said.

But different announcements can be displayed on the front and sides of the marquee

while temporary messages such as “5 minutes to Curtain” can scroll across the board above the entrance.

Czerkies donation also will pay to repaint the large vertical “RIALTO” sign in front of the theater. Green said the incandescent bulbs in letters may be replaced by LEDs. “But the border will remain

incandescent for the time being,” Green said. “We want to be environmentally and energy efficient, but current LEDs don’t work well with that ‘flicker effect’ our sign has. I think that’s the next step for technology.”

The sign will be painted in early spring and the marquee will be replaced after that, Green said. Replacement of the terracotta parapet behind the vertical sign and above the marquee is scheduled to be completed in May.

JOLIET – A man hospitalized after a fire this week at an assisted living center in Joliet has died.

Donald F. Davito, 75, was pronounced dead at 8:46 p.m. Thursday at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, according to the Will County Coroner’s office.

Davito was taken to the hospital after a small fire in his room Wednesday at Brookdale Joliet, at 3320 Executive Drive.

A fire official that day said the fire appeared to start near the mattress in the room, and Davito was taken to the hospital after complaining about smoke inhalation.

The coroner’s office said Friday that the cause and manner of Davito’s death will be determined after medical records are reviewed, a toxicology report is completed and the fire department completes its investigation.

Fire damage was contained to Davito’s room, the fire official said. But the fire did create a lot of smoke in the building and had activated the sprinkler system.

Funeral arrangements for Davito are being handled by R.W. Patterson Funeral Homes in Braidwood, according to the coroner’s office.

Public seeks out Rauner’s stance on Illiana project

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Supporters and critics of the Illiana Expressway want to know what Illinois’ governor-elect thinks of the controversial $1.5 billion tollway project, which depends on both state money and private investors.

Outgoing Gov. Pat Quinn was a strong proponent of the planned tollway, but Governor-elect Bruce Rauner remained largely mum on the Illiana during his election campaign.

Rauner spokeswoman Lyndsey Walters told The Herald-News last week that the governor-elect believes the project “may have the potential to be an economic development engine,” but the state needs to make sure any potential public-private partnership deal doesn’t leave taxpayers “holding the bag.”

Critics call it a “boondoggle” that could leave taxpayers with the short end of the stick if revenue projections fall short. Supporters argue the planned tollway connecting Interstate 55 in Wilmington to I-65 near Lowell, Indiana, would relieve congestion on local roads and promote economic growth.

Will County Board member Judy O’Galla, R-Monee, joined environmental groups during the veto session earlier this month in Springfield to rally against the expressway. O’Galla said the group spoke with Illinois lawmakers, but also wanted to send a clear message to Rauner.

“My hope is Rauner did not become a successful businessman by making foolish decisions with money,” said O’Galla, who has constituents living within the proposed pathway of the future tollway. “I’m hoping he applies those business smarts to state government and stops projects that don’t make sense.”

“We want to keep our message out there. We don’t want people to think we’re giving up,” she added. “It’s a total waste of tax dollars.”

Because of potential tollway revenue shortfalls, it’s estimated the project could wind up costing taxpayers $440 million to $1.1 billion over a 35-year period, according to an analysis by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning – the state’s gatekeeper for federal transportation funding and key opponent. CMAP staff has recommended not moving forward with the Illiiana.

But supporters, including John Greuling, president and CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development, believe the project has progressed significantly enough in the past year that it would be foolish to turn back.

“We’ve come so far. We’re still anticipating a federal record of decision sometime in December,” he said. “If [the state gets approval], it makes logical sense for the state to take the next step.”

The next step would be issuing a request for proposals to the four pre-qualified bidders selected earlier this year.

“This isn’t like putting up a ‘For Sale’ sign outside of a Best Buy building. This is a very serious endeavor.

There’s been a lot of hard work involved,” Greuling said. “So let’s see if they get competitive bids. … If nobody shows up, nothing gets built.”

Julie Curry, the county’s legislative liaison, said earlier this month at a county board legislative and policy committee meeting that she has been in talks with Rauner’s staff about the project’s importance to the region.

Curry said there is no clear indication yet whether Rauner will eventually support the Illiana Expressway.

Barber in Joliet was a Jefferson Street pioneer

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

bers when the Beatles’ popularity started making longer hair acceptable for men. As society changed, so did styles.

“My father had been the ‘old school’ barber, but he went back to school to learn how to style women’s hair,” Steve said. “I think that’s the most important lesson I’ve learned from him – the importance of staying current, staying on top of trends.”

Steve began styling hair in 1979 but said he was not pressured to join the family business. Neither was his sister, Cyndi Karges, who “has never had any interest in hair.”

But shortly after Chet’s retirement, Cyndi started a massage therapy business, which Steve realized would be a good fit at the salon.

JOLIET – Chet Rutkowski “got some static” for where he chose to open his barber shop.

“Jefferson Street was one lane in each direction and there were only two businesses – Honiotes Grocery and Rooney’s Corner Gas Station – to the west of here,” Rutkowski recalled. “It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.”

Development followed, and 60 years later, Chet’s Hair Studio is in the center of the corridor between the West Side and downtown Joliet.

Although Rutkowski retired many years ago, the business remains in operation at 1212 W. Jefferson St. because of his son Steve. The Rutkowski family will mark their 60th anniversary with a party for clients and former employees from 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 7.

“We’re celebrating on the

seventh, though the actual opening day was Dec. 13, 1954. I was going through a drawer years ago and found a laminated dollar bill with the date written on it,” Steve Rutkowski said.

“The guy who sold the property wanted to be the first customer. The contractor who built the building wanted to be the first customer. The Chamber [of Commerce] president wanted ... I said, ‘Of course.’ I told all of them they were the first customer. None of them were,” Chet admitted.

At the time, haircuts cost 85 cents.

Chet Rutkowski grew up in Joliet and served in the Navy during World War II. He needed a job after coming back from the Pacific.

Chet’s was the typical barber shop, with four chairs and a bench for waiting, during the first 17 years of operation. The only women to come in were moms with sons. Chet remem-

Pension obligations

A few years ago, Joliet took a closer look at the health of its pension funds following years of underfunding. Since then, the city has paid more than required by state law into its police and fire pensions, said Turk, who heads the Finance Committee.

The city could pay close to $12.3 million and about $14.2 million into the respective fire and police pension funds next year, compared to the state mandates of $10.2 million and $12.6 million, respectively,

Q WHAT: The city’s proposed 2015 spending plan Q WHERE: Joliet City Hall Council Chambers, 2nd Floor, 150 W. Jefferson St., Joliet Q WHEN: 6:30 p.m. Tuesday • The budget proposal will be available for public inspection following the Tuesday meeting.

based on the city’s actuarial projection documents.

The city’s fire and police pensions are funded between 48 and 53.6 percent, but state law mandates that pensions be 90 percent funded by 2041. In coming years, Joliet will face pressure from its police and fire pension obligations, which are projected to jump from $25 million in 2013 to more than $33 million by 2024 to more than $51 million by 2045.

The city’s increased contributions next year are resulting from an anticipated lower rate of return on investment in the next couple of years, said District 1 Councilman Larry Hug, who also serves on the Finance Committee.

While it can be tempting for officials to hike assumed rates of return to lower contribution costs, Hug said, the city has done the opposite by paying more into the two funds and being realistic about the rate of return.

It’s likely Joliet will lower its rate of return assumptions to 6.75 percent over a two-tothree-year period – down from the current 7 percent, an “unrealistic” number, Hug said.

The 2015 fiscal year begins Jan. 1.

Five hairdressers now employed at Chet’s hairdressers.

JOLIET – The city of Joliet will pay more into police and fire pensions next year and increase future contributions to reach the state’s 90 percent funding goal by 2041, at-large City Councilman Mike Turk said Friday.

No tax or levy increases are anticipated with the 2015 budget proposal scheduled to be presented at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, meaning any increased spending will be done with existing revenue, several council members said Friday.

Several noted they hope to see additional hires to fill vacancies and retirements in the police and public works departments – both considered highly understaffed.

Still, District 3 Councilman John Gerl, who serves on the council’s Finance Committee, anticipates a “lean budget” will be presented Tuesday night.

“Even though we’ve started to turn the corner a little bit, there’s still a lot of work to do,” Gerl said.

Strand, prize-winning 21 poet, dies in N.Y. at 80

By HILLEL ITALIE The Associated Press NEW YORK – Mark Strand, a Pulitzer Prize winner and former U.S. poet laureate widely praised for his concentrated, elegiac verse, has died. He was 80.

Strand, whose works were translated into more than 30 languages, died Saturday morning at his daughter’s New York home from liposarcoma that had spread throughout his body, just weeks after entering hospice care, said his daughter, Jessica Strand.

“He was a funny, elegant, generous and brilliant man,” she said of her father. “A man who lived to work and to be with his friends and the people he loved.”

A distinctive presence even at the end of his life, with his lean build, white hair and round glasses, Strand received numerous honors, including the Pulitzer in 1999 for “Blizzard of One,” a gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a National Book Award nomination this fall for “Collected Poems.” He was appointed poet laureate for 1990-91, although he did not count his time in Washington among his great achievements.

“It’s too close to the government. It’s too official.

I don’t believe that poetry should be official,” he told The Associated Press in 2011.

“There are poets who aspire to such positions; I never did.”

Author of more than a dozen books of poetry and several works of prose, Strand was haunted by absence, loss and passage of time from the beginning of his career, sometimes peering just beyond the contents of the page and wondering what, if anything, was out there. Some of his most famous lines appear in “Keeping Things Whole,” a poem from “Sleeping With One Eye Open,” his 1964 debut: In a field I am the absence of field.

This is

always the case.

Wherever I am I am what is missing.

Strand also wrote children’s books and art criticism, helped edit several poetry anthologies and translated the Italian poet Rafael Alberti. He was a committed doubter, even about poetry.

He went through occasional periods when he stopped writing verse and once quarreled with his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, because he considered his 2012 collection “Almost Invisible” to be prose, not poetry.

“I don’t make the same demands of prose as I do with poetry,” he told the AP. “You don’t have to worry about sustaining a cadence. You don’t have to worry about the specific creativity of each word.”

He was born in Prince Edward Island in Canada, his mother a painter, his father a salesman whose work led to the family living in many locales from Peru to Cleveland. Strand thought of himself first as an artist, and would dismiss his adolescent poetry as “feverish attempts to put ‘my feelings’ on paper, and little more.”

He majored in art at Yale University, but felt “stifled” and by graduate school had decided he was better suited for writing, with Philip Larkin and Thomas Hardy among the poets he was reading. He received a master’s degree from the University of Iowa’s prestigious Writers’ Workshop, and later taught at Iowa, Columbia University and the University of Chicago among other schools.

The most profound absence in his work was that of god, his atheism passed down to him from his father, who had terrified his young son with stories of heretics burned at the stake. In “Poem After the Last Seven Words,” from the 2006 collection “Man and Camel,” Strand imagined how it felt “To open the dictionary of the Beyond and discover what one suspected, that the only word in it is nothing.”

IHSA responds to class-action concussion suit

CHICAGO – The Illinois High School Association has responded to a new class-action lawsuit alleging the governing body hasn’t done enough to protect football players from concussions.

An attorney filed the suit Saturday on behalf of former high school quarterback Daniel Bukal in Cook County Circuit Court.

In an emailed statement, IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman said he wanted to keep the spotlight Saturday on the last football playoff finals. He said the IHSA will review the suit and comment more when appropriate.

But he did add concussion management is a top IHSA priority. And he said it’ll “continue to be a leader” in reducing head-injury risks.

Bukal suffered concussions playing at Notre Dame College Prep in Niles until 2003. The suit said he still suffers frequent migraines and some memory loss.

Rantoul joins ranks of police using body cameras

RANTOUL – Police in central Illinois’ Rantoul are joining the growing number of law enforcers using body cameras – a technology that’s been gaining traction since the recent shooting death of a black 18-year-old by a suburban St. Louis officer who was not wearing one.

Rantoul’s police department got a large, anonymous donation in 2011 for the research and purchase of the cameras, the Champaign News-Gazette reported Saturday.

That was well before the renewed push for such cameras

began to surge in August, when white police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed unarmed black Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. That case touched off at times violent protests in Ferguson, and demonstrations across the country turned up again in recent days after a local grand jury declined to indict Wilson.

Brown’s family has pressed for U.S. police departments to make body cameras required equipment.

In 13,000-resident Rantoul, the cameras for roughly two dozen officers can be clipped to the collar of the shirt or to sunglasses. A specific list of incidents may be recorded, including traffic stops, any types of detentions or stops, responses to priority calls, investigations of suspicious persons or vehicles and vehicle pursuits.

Rantoul police Lt. Jeff Wooten

said the cameras, consisting of a digital video recorder and a battery pack that allows for 10 hours of recording time, would be used to phase out dashboard cameras in the village’s police cars.

Wooten said that because of citizen concerns about a right to privacy, all officers will notify the person or persons of the recording before they engage.

Illinois aims to get more kids walking to school

CHICAGO – With the help of federal funding, Illinois is trying to get more children to walk and bike to school with projects including new and better sidewalks.

The $5.9 million will go toward 58 projects around the state in what’s being dubbed the Illinois Safe Routes to School program.

Besides sidewalks, projects include countdown signals at pedestrian crossings and speed feedback signs to show drivers how fast they’re going.

The idea is to create a safer environment for children to walk and bike to school. And that includes those with disabilities.

Besides promoting healthy habits, Gov. Pat Quinn’s office said the program will reduce vehicle traffic and associated air pollution near schools.

Quinn said “students deserve to feel safe while traveling to and from school.”

Rockford teachers get CPR training

ROCKFORD – Teachers in northern Illinois are receiving potentially lifesaving training they’ll pass on to students.

The Rockford Register Star reports middle and high school

teachers are learning what to do when someone goes into cardiac arrest. That includes CPR. How to use defibrillator equipment also is taught.

Teachers then will teach their students. Illinois law requires such training for secondary school students. That law was adopted after 17-year-old Lauren Laman of St. Charles died in 2008 from cardiac arrest at school.

Rockford School District sixth-graders will get introductory training. Older students will get more advanced training.

The SwedishAmerican Foundation has granted tens of thousands of dollars to help pay for training. A SwedishAmerican manager, Tom Pratt, said the more people who are trained, “the more lifesavers” in the community.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Proposed rule for farms aims to improve Lake Erie

TOLEDO, Ohio – Ohio’s lawmakers are taking their first step toward slowing the spread of algae in Lake Erie since a toxin contaminated the drinking water for more than 400,000 people.

Legislation approved in the state House would ban farmers in much of northwestern Ohio from spreading manure on top of frozen or saturated fields. Another provision would set new rules on dumping dredged sediment in the lake.

Both are thought to contribute to the algae blooms that produce dangerous toxins. But how much those proposed changes – they still need approval in the Ohio Senate – would help isn’t certain.

Poor durum crop likely to impact pasta consumers

BISMARCK, N.D. – From family dinner tables to fancy restaurants, plates of pasta are likely to be a little pricier in the coming year because of a disappointing durum wheat crop in the northern Plains and Canada.

Ferguson officer who shot Michael Brown resigns

By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER The Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. – The Ferguson police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown has resigned, his attorney said Saturday, nearly four months after the confrontation between the white officer and unarmed black 18-yearold that ignited protests in the St. Louis suburb and across the nation.

Darren Wilson, who has been on administrative leave since the Aug. 9 shooting, resigned effective immediately, said his attorney, Neil Bruntrager. He declined further immediate comment.

The Brown family attorney, Benjamin Crump, didn’t immediately return phone and email messages from The Associated Press.

Wilson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he was stepping down out of his “own free will” after the police department told him it had received threats of violence if he remained an employee.

“I’m not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me,” he told the newspaper.

A grand jury spent more than three months reviewing evidence before announcing Monday that it wouldn’t indict Wilson, who had testified that he feared for his life when Brown hit him and reached for his gun. Some witnesses have said that Brown had his hands up when Wilson shot him following a confrontation in a street in Ferguson.

The U.S. Justice Department is conducting a civil rights investigation into the shooting and a separate investigation of police department practices.

Wilson’s resignation didn’t seem to affect protesters outside Ferguson police headquarters Saturday night.

Rick Campbell said he didn’t care about the resignation, saying: “I’ve been protesting out here since August.” Several other protesters merely shrugged their shoulders when asked about the resignation.

“We were not after Wilson’s job,” civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton said in a written statement. “We were after Michael Brown’s justice.”

Ferguson Police Chief

Tom Jackson didn’t immediately return a message left on his cellphone seeking comment.

Wilson spent months in hiding and made no public statements following the shooting. Wilson, who recently got married, broke his silence after the grand jury decision, telling ABC News that he couldn’t have done anything differently in the encounter with Brown.

Wilson said he had a clean conscience because “I know I did my job right.” Brown’s shooting was the first time he fired his gun on the job, he said. Asked whether the encounter would have unfolded the same way if Brown had been white, Wilson said yes.

Wilson began his career in nearby Jennings before moving to the Ferguson job a few years ago. He had no previous complaints against him and a good career record, according to Jackson, who called Wilson “an excellent police officer.”

A few months before the shooting, Wilson had received a commendation for detaining a suspect in a drug case.

IS group launches attack on Kobani

By BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press BEIRUT – The Islamic State group launched an attack Saturday on the Syrian border town of Kobani from Turkey, a Kurdish official and activists said, although Turkey denied that the fighters had used its territory for the raid.

The assault began when a suicide bomber driving an armored vehicle detonated his explosives on the border crossing between Kobani and Turkey, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Nawaf Khalil,

a spokesman for Syria’s powerful Kurdish Democratic Union Party.

The Islamic State group “used to attack the town from three sides,” Khalil said. “Today, they are attacking from four sides.”

Turkey, while previously backing the Syrian rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad in that country’s civil war, has been hesitant to aid them in Kobani because it fears that could stoke Kurdish ambitions for an independent state.

A Turkish government statement on Saturday confirmed that one of the suicide

attacks involved a bomb-loaded vehicle that detonated on the Syrian side of the border.

But it denied that the vehicle had crossed into Kobani through Turkey, which would be a first for the extremist fighters.

“Claims that the vehicle reached the border gate by crossing through Turkish soil are a lie,” read the statement released from the government press office at the border town of Suruc. “Contrary to certain claims, no Turkish official has made any statement claiming that the bomb-loaded vehicle had crossed in from Turkey.”

NEW YORK – The crowds of bargain hunters that rush through store doors the day after Thanksgiving have thinned out.

U.S. shoppers spent $9.1 billion at stores on Black Friday, according to data out Saturday from research firm ShopperTrak. That’s a drop of 7 percent compared with the same day last year.

But it’s too early to call the holiday shopping season a dud, said Bill Martin, ShopperTrak’s co-founder.

Sales on Thanksgiving jumped 24 percent to $3.2 billion.

And overall sales for the two days are expected to slip half

a percent to $12.29 billion. The figures don’t include online transactions.

For the second straight year, the report suggests that more people avoided the crowds on Black Friday by avoiding time at home on Thanksgiving Day. This year, many large retail stores decided to open their doors to eager shoppers for extended hours on the holiday.

The popularity of shopping online also has lured people away from brick-and-mortar stores.

In a separate report out Saturday, IBM said online sales for Black Friday climbed 9.5 percent over the same day last year.

Murder charges dismissed

By HAMZA HENDAWI The Associated Press CAIRO – A judge dismissed murder charges Saturday against former President Hosni Mubarak and acquitted his security chief over the killing of protesters during Egypt’s 2011 uprising, crushing any hope of a judicial reckoning on behalf of the hundreds victims of the revolt that toppled him.

Yet instead of outrage, a largely muted initial reaction greeted the decision in an Egypt where unlicensed protests draw stiff prison terms and many remain fearful over their security four years after the nation’s Arab Spring revolt.

Some 2,000 young people protested the verdict near Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the birthplace of the 2011 uprising closed off Saturday by soldiers and police, however, open a day earlier despite widespread fears of violent Islamist protests. They chanted against the military, whose former chief, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, is now the president.

“The people want to bring down the regime.” they shouted, using one of the chief slogans in the 18-day, anti-Mubarak uprising.

In the evening, police broke up the gathering, firing water cannon and tear gas and driving protesters into side streets after supporters of the

AP photo

Egyptians gather in tea shop Saturday to watch a state TV broadcast of the verdict case against the country’s ousted President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo. The court on Saturday dismissed murder charges against former President Hosni Mubarak in connection with the killing of hundreds of protesters in the 2011 uprising that ended his nearly three-decade rule, citing the “inadmissibility” of the case due to a technicality. banned Muslim Brotherhood joined the protest. An Interior Ministry statement said that Brotherhood supporters pelted security forces with rocks and fought with the protesters.

Security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to brief reporters, said police arrested 29 people.

A statement from the health ministry early Sunday said one person was killed and nine were injured in the clashes.

The dispersal of protesters contrasted with the jubilant well-wishers who greeted Mubarak after the decision

when he returned to his temporary home at a Nile-side military hospital. He later triumphantly waved back to supporters from his hospital window.

A television interviewer reached him by telephone, asking whether he had ordered the killing.

“I did not do anything at all,” replied Mubarak, who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 2012 on charges related to the killing of protesters. The verdict was overturned on appeal the following year.

The monarch of close U.S.

ally Bahrain, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, also called to congratulate Mubarak, according to the official news agency of the Gulf Arab island nation.

Mubarak, who assumed Egypt’s highest office in 1981 following the assassination of Anwar Sadat, has spent virtually all the time since he was detained in April 2011 in hospitals due to poor health. On Saturday, he came to the courtroom on a gurney, wearing dark glasses, a navy blue tie and a matching cardigan.

In his ruling, judge Mahmoud al-Rashidi cited the “inadmissibility” of the case against Mubarak due to a technicality. He said Mubarak’s May 2011 referral to trial by prosecutors ignored the “implicit” decision that no criminal charges be filed against him when his security chief and six of his top aides were referred to trial by the same prosecutors two months earlier.

After the decision, Cairo resident Nermine Fathy simply asked: “Who killed the martyrs? I want to know who killed the martyrs.”

That question likely won’t be answered in Egypt’s courts.

Already, nearly 170 police officers and security officials put on trial in connection to the killings have either been acquitted for lack of evidence or were found to have acted in self-defense. Some received short, suspended sentences.

Pope prays in Istanbul mosque in new outreach The ASSOCIATED PRESS ISTANBUL – Pope Francis stood Saturday for two minutes of silent prayer facing east in one of Turkey’s most important mosques, a powerful vision of Christian-Muslim understanding at a time when neighboring countries are experiencing violent Islamic assault on Christians and religious minorities.

His head bowed, eyes closed and hands clasped in front of him, Francis prayed alongside the Grand Mufti of Istanbul, Rahmi Yaran, in the 17th-century Sultan Ahmet mosque, shifting gears to reli-

gious concerns on the second day of his three-day visit to Turkey.

“May God accept it,” Yaran told the pope of their prayer.

The Vatican spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi called it a moment of “silent adoration.” Lombardi said Francis told the mufti twice that Christians and Muslims must “adore” God and not just praise and glorify him.

It was a remarkably different atmosphere from Francis’ first day in Turkey, when the simple and frugal pope was visibly uncomfortable with the pomp and protocol required of him for the state

visit part of his trip. With President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s mega-palace, honor guard and horseback escort now behind him, Francis got down to the business of being pope, showing respect to Muslim leaders, celebrating Mass for Istanbul’s tiny Catholic community and meeting with the spiritual leader of the world’s 300 million Orthodox Christians.

Francis bowed before Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I and asked him “to bless me and the church of Rome” at the end of an ecumenical service Saturday evening. The Orthodox lead-

er obliged, kissing Francis’ bowed head. The two major branches of Christianity represented by Bartholomew and Francis split in 1054 over differences on the primacy of the papacy, giving particular resonance to Francis’ display of deference.

Francis’ visit comes at an exceedingly tense time for Turkey, with Islamic State militants grabbing territory next door in Syria and Iraq and sending some 1.6 million refugees fleeing across the border. Some refugees were expected to attend Francis’ final event on Sunday before he returns to Rome.

WORLD BRIEFS Nigeria: Mosque blasts death toll above 102

KANO, Nigeria – Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan vowed to track down the perpetrators of the bomb blasts that killed more than 100 people at the central mosque in the city of Kano.

Jonathan said his government will “continue to take every step to put an end to the reprehensible acts of all groups and persons involved in acts of terrorism.”

More than 102 people were killed in the bomb explosions at the central mosque in Kano, said a hospital worker.

The multiple explosions that hit the mosque on Friday injured more than 150.

“Most of those receiving treatment ... are in dire need of blood and we are appealing to people to come and donate their blood to rescue the victims,” Dr. Usman Bashir told Associated Press on Saturday.

Hundreds had gathered Friday in the mosque, which is known for attracting moderates, for a sermon in a region terrorized by attacks from the extremist group Boko Haram.

Ebola death toll up

DAKAR, Senegal – Sierra Leone will soon see a dramatic increase in desperately needed Ebola treatment beds, but it’s still not clear who will staff them, according to the top United Nations official in the fight against the disease.

Ebola has sickened more than 16,000 people of whom nearly 7,000 have died, according to figures released by the World Health Organization Friday.

Sierra Leone is now bearing the brunt of the 8-month-old outbreak. In the other hardhit countries, Liberia and Guinea, WHO says infection rates are stabilizing or declining, but in Sierra Leone, they’re soaring. The country has been reporting around 400 to 500 new cases each week for several weeks.

BOLINGBROOK – Kevin McCarthy will retire as Bolingbrook police and fire chief next year.

On Nov. 18, the village board appointed Deputy Police Chief Tom Ross to succeed McCarthy as Public Safety Director in January.

McCarthy has led the police department since 2008 and has been the top administrator in the fire department for nearly two years.

The village combined the chiefs jobs in May 2013 as a cost-saving measure.

McCarthy will retire on Jan. 16 after 31 years in law enforcement.

This Deal Starts Dec. 1

Dear Mr. Berko: I’m 49, and

ern Trust, Capital Group and the Bank of New York own hundreds of millions of VZ shares. And when I asked a Vanguard fund manager (whom I’ve known for years) about VZ, he said his company owns the stock because its share price, revenues, earnings and dividends have a high degree of predictability.

There are 33 brokerages following VZ. Twelve have a “strong buy” recommendation; 12 have just a “buy” recommendation; and nine rate VZ as a “hold.” Wall Street believes that over the next four years, VZ could grow revenues to $141 billion from $126 billion, earn $4.70 a share – up from $3.55 this year – and increase its dividend to $2.60 from this year’s $2.20. Value Line believes that VZ could trade between $70 and $80 by 2018 and grow its net profit margin to 13.5 percent.

However, Morningstar, an equally respected research firm, suggests the stock is fairly valued at $49, and highly regarded research firm Market Edge gives VZ an “avoid” recommendation. But buy the stock.

• Please address your financial questions to Malcolm Berko, P.O. Box 8303, Largo, FL 33775, or email him at mjberko@yahoo.com.

Donors leave prints on community The HERALD-NEWS At The Community Foundation of Will County’s Annual Donor Recognition and Celebration of Philanthropy, several honorees shared their visions of how to help their neighbors.

Board Chairman Brother James Gaffney welcomed guests and introduced Janet Viano, a lifelong resident of Will County who has shown a dedication to her professional work in banking, and personally to improving the quality of life in her community.

She is executive vice president, director of Channel Sales and Retail Banking Administration at First Mid-

west Bank.

She has been a part of the Zonta Club of Joliet; a past president of the Will County chapter of the National Association of Bank Women; a charter member of the New Lenox Rotary Club; and founding director of First Midwest Charitable Foundation.

She became a board member of The Community Foundation of Will County in 2007, and has served as treasurer of the Foundation for the past several years.

About a year ago she created a fund that would provide resources to support the issues of importance to women leaders today, and to inspire generations to come.

With a quick outreach to her colleagues at First Midwest Bank, who matched her gift within an hour, the Women’s Leadership Fund was born, and is now nearing $20,000.

Executive Director Michael Trench introduced Sentinus LLC represented

by Scott Reynolds and Tyler Qualio by sharing some of the company’s history, including that Lt. Commander Richard Reynolds returned to Joliet after serving as a ship commander during World War II to form an estate, business planning and insurance firm, Reynolds & Associates.

Richard’s son, Scott Reynolds, along with his son-inlaw Tyler Qualio and son, Britton Reynolds, run the

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Democracy is worth the wait In an age of smartphones, instant gratification is the rule, not the exception.

Want to communicate with someone right away?

Want to order a product right now?

Want to find information right this very minute?

There’s an app for that.

Too often, our society attempts to apply the instant-gratification template to elections.

Pre-election polls predict winners.

Election Day exit polls do the same.

Often, large news organizations project winners moments after polling places close.

By Election Night, people want to know who won and move on with their lives.

Democracy, however, doesn’t work that way.

Efforts to make voting more inclusive and convenient led to the expansion of absentee voting rights in Illinois.

No longer do people have to be in the hospital or nursing home or out of state or otherwise unable to go to their home precinct to vote on Election Day. Anyone can vote by absentee ballot, which must be postmarked the day before Election Day. But it takes time for those ballots to reach election authorities. The Postal Service is given two weeks to deliver them, which seems adequate.

Same-day voter registration is an additional way to be inclusive and convenient. Ballots cast in that manner are considered provisional, and election officials are given time to verify the same-day registrations before counting those votes.

So by Nov. 18, the last absentee ballots arrived, and the last provisional ballots were verified, and Illinois finally had a decision in the state treasurer’s election.

The winner is not state Rep. Tom Cross, a Republican from Oswego, who led the close contest on Election Night by only about 19,500 votes.

The winner is state Sen. Mike Frerichs, a Democrat from Champaign, who by Nov. 18 ended up with about 9,600 more votes than Cross.

Cross conceded the contest to Frerichs on Nov. 19 in what Frerichs called a “good” and “gracious” telephone call.

Thus, Frerichs will become the new state treasurer in January; he will replace outgoing Republican Treasurer Dan Rutherford.

Instant gratification was nowhere to be found in the long, post-election vote-tabulating process in the treasurer’s race.

But every person out of the more than 3.5 million who cast a ballot was heard, as they should have been. And that was worth the wait.

No wasted opportunity to fight hunger A story from almost everyone’s childhood involves being told they should finish eating all of their dinner. After all, the argument went, a child living in Somalia, Indonesia or even down in Honduras, is going without food as you sit there and waste yours.

Today in America, parents don’t have to point to a faraway, poor country. Almost anywhere, in rural communities and urban areas, they can point across town or down the street or, in many cases, right next door to someone who is going hungry.

Food insecurity means “the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe food.” That’s insufficient food intake, or plainly, hunger.

The United Nations Children’s Fund details the biological effects of food insecurity: “When individuals are undernourished, they can no longer maintain natural bodily capacities, such as growth, resisting infections and recovering from disease, learning and physical work, and pregnancy

Since MadHunt, LLC repeatedly refused to issue a letter of credit (cost $60,000), a bond for the $300K or an escrow account, I suggested that the council members who felt this an acceptable risk put their homes up as collateral for the taxpayers.

This was to remind them they were gambling taxpayer dollars, not their own.

My only opposition to this deal was the risking of taxpayer money. I do not believe being a steward of public money is ridiculous. Seems others do.

MONEY SHOULDN’T DICTATE POLITICAL WINNERS To the Editor: During the recent midterm

election, we were really able to see how big money influences the outcome. Mega-donors and Super PACs gave incredible amounts of money to influence candidates and how the election turned out. The reason a candidate takes a lead in a race should not be because of the amount of money raised from wealthy donors.

This is why elected officials like Congressman Bill Foster have taken action to make sure the people and their voices are heard on Election Day. We need programs in place here in Illinois that would make smaller donations have a bigger impact so that candidates can raise money by engaging with the average voter, rather than only looking to those that can write the biggest checks.

Make a vital difference in people’s lives with coalition • BRAZILE

Continued from page 32 Krista, of Leawood, Kansas, is a teacher (22.5 percent of Kansas children are hungry). She told her story to the anti-hunger organization Feeding America: “I didn’t really think much about what childhood hunger looked like until I began working around it every day. ... Hungry kids look like other kids. Except they aren’t. They eat like no one is watching, they lick their trays clean, they finish quickly and ask others if ‘they are gonna eat that.’

“The noise that you would

PG 8JMM BOE (SVOEZ $PVOUJFT

expect in a busy school cafeteria is absent. These kids are eating. There is no playing or wasting because they know that this may be their best meal of the day.”

Krista’s experience is by no means unique. In 2013, more than 21.5 million low-income students received reduced-price or free meals in schools through the federal government’s National School Lunch Program.

While the logic of not wasting food might escape many 5-year-olds, the worry about wasted food is a real one. Even with 45.3 million people living in poverty in 2012, food waste topped 35 million tons. Fur-

ther, food currently comprises 20 percent of what we put into landfills.

California Orange County health officer Dr. Eric Handler saw an opportunity to take the food that large establishments were throwing out and get it to hungry families.

Handler, a pediatrician, joined with Mark Lowry, head of the Orange County Food Bank, to found the WasteNot Orange Coalition. The coalition’s goal is to “reduce hunger and solid waste by facilitating the donation of wholesome surplus food.”

Between just July and October of this year, the coalition partnered with restau-

Support

rants, food vendors, businesses, hospitals and others to recover 28.6 tons of food. They directed that food to people in need.

“Our goal is to find out which establishments are currently donating food and which are not. And those who are not donating goods, to educate them to the fact that they are not held liable if food is not correctly prepared,” Handler told PBS for a story earlier this year.

Waste-Not Orange’s story is a powerful one for us as we enter the holidays. We are a nation of caring people – as we have proven time and again.

There are millions of

families with parents working hard every day, children doing their very best in school who simply can’t keep up with the rising costs of food. Connecting them with perfectly good food is smart for all of us.

Missing the opportunity to make a vital difference in people’s lives would seem such an unfortunate waste.

I applaud Congressman Bill Foster, and other members of Congress, for supporting policies like the Government By the People Act and for making a plan to help get big money out of politics.

“Money being spent on political campaigns has grown out of control. Making things worse, a large portion of the money being spent comes from a very small group of millionaires and billionaires attempting to dominate the conversation. That needs to change,” Foster said in a statement with Illinois PIRG last week.

Residents of the 11th Congressional District should be proud to have someone like him making sure the ordinary voter’s voice will not be drowned out by the influence of big money in politics.

Junior linebacker Brendan O’Hara delivered that huge play, and sophomore running back Richie Warfield did a yeoman’s job as the Celtics completed their “Quest for X,” their quest for a 10th state football championship, with a 31-28 victory Saturday over Cary-Grove.

The title not only was No. 10 for Providence (13-1), but it was the Celtics’ first in 10 years and their first visit to the championship game since 2009.

Except for an early fumble, the Providence defense had not stopped Cary-Grove until O’Hara’s tackle for loss at midfield on a third-and-4 play midway through the third quarter.

“I was reading my keys,” said O’Hara, who finished with 12 tackles while fellow inside linebacker Jimmy Sharkey set a Class 7A record with 17 stops.

“I saw the toss right, and I was ready for it.

“That kind of took the air out of their balloon. I knew we would capitalize, that our offense would score every time.”

The Celtics, who were leading, 17-14, at the time thanks to a touchdown march into a stiff breeze to open the second half, then journeyed 97 yards – including a 2-yard loss on the first play – to score and make it 24-14. Justin Hunniford’s 38-yard pass to Miles Boykin down the right sideline on second-and-12 from the Providence 1 ignited the drive.

“When we were deep in our territory, I said I had to make a play to get us out here,” Hunniford said.

“That was one of the few times I could get open like that,” Boykin said. “We knew they would put guys at the line of scrimmage to try to get a safety. Our offensive line held

Provence Catholic’s Richie Warfield breaks away from Cary-Grove defenders to score a touchdown during the second half of Saturday’s IHSA Class 7A state championship game against Cary-Grove at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium in Champaign.

“It’s a real challenge against that kind of offense and a tough line like they [Cary-Grove] have.”

Warfield completed the drive with a 1-yard run, the third of his 7A title-game record four touchdowns. After CaryGrove scored, Warfield broke a spinning, 44-yard touchdown scamper to make it 31-21.

“Cary-Grove’s [option] offense is almost unstoppable,” Coglianese said. “I give them a lot of credit. We were down,

14-10, at half and a little demoralized. But with our offense, I told the guys that one stop was all we needed.

“If we could come out and score and get the lead and then get one stop, we would get up two scores and we’d feel more confident, more comfortable.

I thought we’d be in control then.”

Not that Cary-Grove (13-1) was in a hurry to pack it in.

The Trojans – largely behind sophomore Tyler Pennington, who rushed for 180 yards on 39 carries – scored one last time with 1:30 left to make it 31-28.

However, O’Hara recovered the onside kick and Providence ran out the clock.

Providence finished with 346 total yards to Cary-Grove’s 343. Hunniford completed 18 of 26 passes for 184 yards, with Nate Vejvoda making five clutch catches for 55 yards.

Warfield rushed for 123 yards in 23 carries and caught seven passes for 51 yards, one off his back hip as he ran into the flat to pick up a huge first down.

“I had no idea how this

game would play out,” said Warfield, who delivered yards after contact throughout. “I just thought that one extra step on any play could be the difference.”

The Celtics indeed were in a situation where they had to score on nearly every possession, so strong was CaryGrove’s offensive line, featuring all-staters Trevor Ruhland and Michael Gomez.

Providence took a 7-0 lead when on a 60-yard drive after Mike Madej’s strip and Erik Carroll’s fumble recovery. But after Cary-Grove tied it at 7, the Celtics punted and the Trojans drove to another score to lead, 14-7, with 1:24 left in the half.

Hunniford responded. He was at his best, buying time, scrambling, throwing, whatever it took to guide the Celtics to a fourth-and-goal at the 4, then kicked a 21-yard field goal on the final play of the half to make it 14-10.

Those three points wound up being the difference.

“We knew we had to get something out of that drive, and we were getting the ball to start the second half,” Coglianese said. “Then we needed one stop.”

That’s how effective CaryGrove’s option offense was.

“We made a couple of defensive adjustments at halftime,” Coglianese said. “I’m not sure they all worked.”

“It’s a real challenge against that kind of offense and a tough line like they have,” said Sharkey, who along with his teammates got a good does of the option in two meetings with Mount Carmel. “When a team runs like that, it’s on me to make tackles.

“You can’t have any missed assignments against a team like this. What it come down to is, don’t be the guy that blinks.”

The Celtics didn’t, climaxing the Quest for X. “I thought it was the greatest to win the state baseball title in the spring,” Hunniford said. “But this football team took it to a whole other level.”

“In a way, I feel like losing to Loyola was beneficial because it made us focus on things that we may have overlooked. It feels great being able to get this program back on the map. ... From now until I graduate, my goal is coming back here with a new group of teammates to try to continue on this legacy.”

CHAMPAIGN – Providence football’s “Quest for X,” the program’s pursuit of its 10th state title 10 years after its last championship, looked like it might have hit a bump in the road during Week 6 when the Celtics suffered a 10-7 defeat at Loyola Academy.

But instead of being a negative, the team’s lone setback proved to be a blessing in disguise for Providence, which rattled off wins in its final eight games to capture the IHSA Class 7A championship with a 31-28 victory Saturday over Cary-Grove at Memorial Stadium.

“I don’t think that we’d be here if we didn’t lose to Loyola, because that bus ride home was the longest that we’ve ever taken together,” senior quarterback Justin Hunniford said.

“We said, ‘This feeling will not happen again.’

“The theme all year has been ‘Quest for X’ – but as the season progressed, we kind of realized that we weren’t a team like the ’90s with big O-linemen and a fast running back.

We were a different team that spread it out and used our team speed. We kind of took it as the beginning of a new era of Providence football.”

Although he has been on hand throughout Providence’s title success, coach Mark Coglianese’s first championship team differed in its offensive approach but relied on defense, like so many of the program’s other great squads.

“Losing to Loyola was a wakeup call,” senior tight end Nate Vejvoda said. “We felt that we were on our high horse at that time and that we were unbeatable. But losing to them kind of opened our eyes and told us that we had to work hard and take every game like it was our last. Also, we weren’t going to lose again and that we’d win out and clinch the championship. We wanted to put Providence football back where it once was.

We’re definitely a different team than the running teams, but we still bleed the green and white.”

Providence’s senior class was far

bring it back and add a little bit of our own tradition. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come as a class.”

Besides their loss to Loyola, the Celtics benefited from facing the rest of the rugged Chicago Catholic League Blue, as well as meeting Joliet Catholic in their season opener.

“That loss was the best thing that ever happened to this team,” junior linebacker Brendan O’Hara said. “It showed that we can lose but that we don’t want to lose again. I think that our schedule really got us ready for this game since we always had to play a full game.”

Championship teams realize that titles aren’t won in midseason. Providence was playing its best ball at the end, which it needed in order to hold off the Trojans.

“In the long run, that loss was the best thing that we could have had,” senior wide receiver Miles Boykin said. “Our offense wasn’t doing anything and the defense couldn’t stop them at the end, and I think that we worked through that.

“You have to have your best game to win the state championship, and I think we did today. It’s huge since every class that comes into Providence wanted to win a title, and we finally got it and we’re on to bigger and better things. Hopefully, this is a new era and we start winning championships like we did before.”

While the Celtics lose a talented group of seniors to graduation, there’s plenty of young talent returning. And that makes the future bright for the Providence program.

“In a way, I feel like losing to Loyola was beneficial because it made us focus on things that we may have overlooked,” sophomore running back Richie Warfield said.

IHSA CLASS 3A FOOTBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP: WILMINGTON 20, WILLIAMSVILLE 17

Sarr kicks Wilmington to state title

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Wilmington is No. 1, and – wow, how it happened.

Senior Jordan Sarr, in his first season at Wilmington after moving in from Indiana, kicked a 31-yard field goal into the wind on the final play Friday to give the Wildcats a heart-stopping 20-17 victory over Williamsville in the Class 3A state championship game at the University of Illinois.

Sarr, who earlier kicked a 25-yard field goal, walked onto the field after Wilmington (140) called timeout with four seconds left and calmly drilled the ball inside the left upright, out of the hold of Austin Headrick, to cap a wild fourth quarter where both teams responded to adversity.

“I kicked it, and I heard the crowd cheering and felt the joy,” Sarr said.

The entire community of Wilmington, which has waited so long for its first state football championship, shared in the celebration.

It could not have come in a more exciting manner.

“We’ve been on the other side of this many a time,” Wildcats coach Jeff Reents said. “For whatever reason, this year it all came together.”

The process of coming together Friday began with Nick McWilliams, shifted to quarterback/cornerback Mason Southall and landed on the shoulders of Alex Zlomie.

Yet every time a hero rose up for Wilmington (14-0), Williamsville (13-1) had an the answer. The Bullets scored touchdowns to tie it at 10 and then at 17 in the fourth quarter before the Wildcats embarked on the decisive drive to the Williamsville 15, setting up Sarr’s heroics.

“He has a stronger leg,” Reents explained as Sarr kicks field goals while Jake Castillas handles extra points.

Wilmington’s Jordan Sarr kicks the game-winning field goal during the second half of Friday’s IHSA Class 3A state championship game against Williamsville at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

But he was stripped at the 1, and the Bullets recovered right there to end the threat and maintain a scoreless tie.

A few moments later, Sarr kicked his 25-yard field goal. The score remained 3-0

Wilmington at halftime when Southall, thanks in part to Kyal Davis’ strong pass rush, intercepted Luke Bleyer’s pass at the Wilmington 7 in the final minute of the half.

“It’s tough to have that happen in a game like this,” McWilliams said of the strip.

“All you can do is battle back.

My team was all great supporters.”

McWilliams, a Class 3A allstater, made amends in the third quarter when he broke a 61-yard run to give Wilmington a 10-3 lead.

Early in the fourth quarter, Bleyer scrambled seven yards for a score to tie it at 10.

Calling Mr. Zlomie.

The all-state safety, also an excellent receiver and blocker, had not returned a kickoff since the middle of his sophomore year. But this was it, the state championship game.

Time to get the best athletes on the field.

Zlomie fielded the kickoff at the 9-yard line, saw an opening down the left side, avoided the kicker around the Williamsville 30 and fought off a couple more potential tacklers as he completed his journey to the end zone, a 91-yard return for a 17-10 Wilmington lead with 6:14 left.

“We have an inside joke with our special teams coach [Bob Bolser] that all season I want to get one shot,” Zlomie said. “He jokes that I’m always on the field, that I have to get a

rest sometime.

“When I first saw an opening, I thought I might prove him wrong. Then I saw the kicker, and I thought he was going to push me out of bounds.”

“If there’s one thing I would change, it’s that we would not have kicked to him [Zlomie],” Williamsville coach Aaron Kunz said. “He’s an all-stater.

That’s a decision I wish I had back.”

But if such a return is supposed to demoralize an opponent, it didn’t happen.

Three plays later, Williamsville scored to tie it at 17 on a 65-yard pass-and-run play to sophomore Jace Franklin, who also rushed for 119 yards.

“My first thought right there was, ‘Wow, is this a great game or what?’ ” Reents said.

Williamsville opted for a squib kick – the Bullets had seen enough of Zlomie – and that afforded the Wildcats good field position at their 40 with 5:14 left.

“That’s another things Zip’s [Zlomie’s] return did,” Reents said. “It caused them to squib the next one, and we got the ball in great field position at the 40.”

Southall, who completed seven-of-nine passes for 85 yards, with Zlomie and Joe Mann the main targets, then directed a time-consuming drive that reached the 15 when the Wildcats used their final timeout with 4 seconds left, setting up Sarr’s heroics.

Wilmington was all about controlling the clock. The Wildcats finished with 320 total yards to 308 for Williamsville, but had the ball for 31 minutes 44 seconds to the Bullets’ 16:16.

Gavin Hawks made seven solo tackles, Zlomie six and Davis four to help key the Wilmington defense.

“This was an emotional roller coaster,” Zlomie said.

“We went from a complete low to complete high. We kept driving and finally got this.”

“This was an emotional roller coaster. We went from a complete low to complete high. We kept driving and finally got this.”

WILMINGTON’S NEW GUY

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 30, 2014

CHAMPAIGN – Jordan Sarr entered the season as kind of a mystery man for Wilmington’s football team.

But following his 31-yard field goal Friday as time expired – which capped the Wildcats’ 20-17 victory over Williamsville in the Class 3A title game at Memorial Stadium – it’s a safe bet the senior kicker is now the toast of the town.

Although no player had kicked a game-winner to end regulation play in a championship game in nearly 20 years, Sarr converted his second field goal of the game to put the finishing touches on the first state championship win under coach Jeff Reents.

“Our offense was very, very good this year, so there was really never an opportunity that had come along for me, except for tonight,” Sarr said. “This is a dream come true for me.

I dreamed about this three weeks ago and said, ‘I wonder if this will happen some day.’

Tonight, it happened, and I couldn’t be happier.”

Although he entered the game having made just twoof-three field goal tries and hadn’t kicked any three-pointers in the playoffs, Sarr did his best to handle the pressure.

Sarr benefited from a 25yard field goal that he made with 1:17 remaining in the first half to give the Wildcats a 3-0 lead at the break.

“Yes, definitely,” Sarr said of gaining confidence from that first field goal. “The big kid (Mitch Whitley) got a big paw on it. I heard it and saw it as I looked up.

“When we walked out there at the end, I heard the crowd and then blocked everything out and just shut it down. The only thing I saw was the uprights, and that was the only thing that I was thinking about.”

Sarr’s dramatic field goal caps special season

Wilmington players react as they win the IHSA Class 3A state championship game Friday against Williamsville at the University of Illinois in Champaign. Jordan Sarr, who had just kicked the game-winning field goal, is at right.

A year ago, Sarr was kicking for North Putnam in Indiana, where he went four-for-five and made the eventual game-winner in his team’s lone victory.

As the new kid in town, Sarr became friends with the squad’s other kicker, Jake Castillas, as well as with fellow senior Austin Headrick, who helped make the transition easier.

“Jake and Austin are my best friends,” Sarr said. “If there was a point where I was down on myself during the season, like the beginning of

the year when I was nervous since I didn’t really know anybody, they brought me in and showed me nothing but respect.

“I also take my hat off to coach Reents, since he brought me in under his arm and another program might not have. He accepted me and put me right where I needed to be.”

Sarr also drew inspiration from a towel he wore Friday that his uncle, Ron Newcomb, also had on when he played in state-final losses for Mount Carmel in 2005 and 2006.

“This towel means so much since it’s my uncle’s towel when he lost to Prospect and Wheaton-Warrenville South,” Sarr said. “He didn’t get a state title, so I was like, ‘I’m going to get one for him.’ He and my other uncle Nick are probably my biggest inspirations.”

While Reents realized that there was some potential for his first-year kicker, he also didn’t envision any big-time dramatics from him. On that point, he’s happy to be proven wrong.

“Jordan’s a great kid, and we believed in him,” Reents

said. “Whenever you move into a new community and new school, you never know how that’s going to work.

When he showed up in June and says, ‘I can do this and do this,’ as a coach you say, ‘We’ll see.’

“I will say, after his first day of kicking, I thought that we might be able to work with this kid. But by the same token, did I think that we would be here the day after Thanksgiving for a state championship kick? No, I didn’t think that he was going be out there for that.”

“When we walked out there at the end, I heard the crowd and then blocked everything out and just shut it down. The only thing I saw was the uprights, and that was the only thing that I was thinking about.”

IHSA CLASS 6A FOOTBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP: NAZARETH 26, LEMONT 7

Nazareth denies Lemont first state title

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Down only a touchdown at halftime, Lemont’s hopes for its first state football title were very much alive.

That is, until the Nazareth run game took over.

Not attempting a pass for their first two drives of the second half, the Roadrunners rattled off 25 consecutive run plays while scoring a pair of touchdowns to seize control in an eventual 26-7 win in the IHSA Class 6A state championship game Saturday.

Lemont’s undefeated journey through the 2014 season ended as the Indians finished with the runner-up trophy for the third time since 2007.

“It’s evident, they (Nazareth) are good,” Lemont coach Bret Kooi said. “They’ve got size on both sides of the football. They play well, they are coached up well. But we feel that we had a few shots early that would have made it more interesting.

“I wanted to send these kids out on a high note. I feel like I let them down.”

Receiving the ball to open the third quarter, Nazareth’s Julian Love capped a 12-play drive by bulling his way into the end zone from 4 yards out to make the score 20-7. After the Indians were forced to punt, Nolan Dean finished a 13-play, 80-yard drive with a 27-yard touchdown jaunt.

All in all, the Roadrunners threw one pass in 37 second-half plays. On the flip side, the Indians had the ball only three times over the final 24 minutes and were held to six first downs during that span.

“They are big and physical on offense,” Kooi said. “I thought our defense played awesome for a good portion of the game. We just put them on the field too much, and they were getting worn down.”

Nazareth opened the scoring just over two minutes into the game on a 35-yard touchdown pass from Jonah Beauduy to Kevin Jackson.

Lemont answered with a 4-yard TD run by Thomas Ble-

Dean’s 1-yard run on the final play of the first quarter gave the Roadrunners a 14-7 lead.

The Indians had the ball deep in Nazareth territory late in the second quarter but threw an interception in the end zone.

“I’m not trying to point too much at myself,” quarterback Ryan Dawson said, “but I could have done a couple of things to change the game.

They were athletic and fast on defense, but we’ve faced that kind of defense this season. There were a couple of deep balls I could have had

that would have changed the game.”

Flynn Nagel caught six passes for 70 yards to lead Lemont’s offense. The transfer from Marist finished his only season in an Indians uniform with 28 receiving touchdowns, one short of tying the state record. Dawson completed 13 of 27 passes for 119 yards but had three intercepted after having four picked off total in the 13 previous games.

On the defensive side, Jeremy Fejedelem totaled 12 tackles and Austin Schaffert added 11 tackles and a sack.

Hunter LaDuke contributed two sacks.

Despite the loss, there were many things to take away from the season, especially considering the Indians missed out on the postseason a year ago after finishing with a 3-6 mark.

“It was tons of fun,” said senior defensive lineman John Dykstra. “We had big

expectations coming into the season. Coming off going 3-6, we wanted to do a lot better.

And this was a great way to turn it around, from 3-6 to 13 wins.”

Buying in to what Kooi brought to the table in his first year on the job was paramount.

“We’ve all been working hard since day one,” Dawson said, “and whatever the coaches asked, we did. We are just a bunch of hard-working kids.”

And getting the opportunity to wrap up the campaign on the turf at Memorial Stadium was something the players never will forget.

“It was amazing,” Dykstra said. “When we first got here, everyone was a little awestruck. Then we got focused, and it was like any other game. But then when you get out there and you hear the crowd, it felt like a college game.”

REFLECTING ON ‘BOUNCE-BACK’ YEAR

Lemont’s Flynn Nagel looks downfield as he returns a kickoff against Nazareth during their IHSA Class 6A state championship game Saturday at the University of Illinois in Champaign. in 2011 and 2012 under coach Eric Michaelsen, Lemont failed to make the playoffs last year, and all involved were determined to make sure the program would return to its winning ways this season.

“I’m very proud of every guy on the team,” senior linebacker Frank Pignone said.

“We all just had an excellent season after working really hard in the offseason. We had a good week of practice and felt pretty confident and

thought that we could have won this game.

“Going from 3-6 to the state championship is a big deal.

We wanted to prove to people that we weren’t a bad team last year, and coach Kooi was kind of the spark to get us going.”

While Lemont’s players were happy to be back in the state finals, they hoped the third time would be the charm for their program.

But Nazareth owned a 248-83 advantage in rushing yards

and didn’t turn the ball over, while the Indians committed three turnovers.

“It’s awesome to just get to experience this, but the thing that is upsetting is that we had the goal in mind that if we made it here that we wanted to win it,” senior quarterback Ryan Dawson said.

“To go from 3-6 to 13-1 is awesome. After we knew that coach Michaelsen wasn’t going to be our coach, we were confused as to who would take over the program and if

they would lead us to where we wanted to be, and coach Kooi was exactly that guy.”

While Lemont graduates nine starters on offense and six more on defense, enough key performers will return to give those involved hope this year’s runner-up finish can start another run of success for the program.

“This was a bounce-back, and that was nice after last year, which was a bump in the road for us,” junior defensive lineman John Dykstra said. “We definitely had a lot more talent and a lot more speed on defense. Obviously, we had pretty good leadership from our seniors, and we’ve got a lot of guys who are coming back, and a lot of them are going to step up and take on leadership roles. This will be a very important offseason for us.”

“I’m very proud of every guy on the team. ... Going from 3-6 to the state championship is a big deal. We wanted to prove to people that we weren’t a bad team last year, and coach Kooi was kind of the spark to get us going.””

CHAMPAIGN – Lemont’s goal of capturing its initial football state championship and becoming the first program in the eight-class system to go 3-6 one season and 14-0 the next ran into a Nazareth Academy program Saturday with similar aspirations.

The Roadrunners not only were seeking their first state title in the sport but also their initial championship in any sport.

And just like the Indians, they were trying to put the finishing touches on a perfect season.

Nazareth grabbed a 14-7 halftime advantage and then added touchdowns in each of the next two quarters to capture a 26-7 victory over Lemont in the IHSA Class 6A title game at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium.

It was the first-ever meeting between two coaches who had won titles with other programs.

Nazareth’s Tim Racki won his fifth state championship.

Lemont’s first-year coach, Bret Kooi, was denied his third state title.

“They’re my first group here, and I think that you always remember your first team,” Kooi said. “And when you have a year like this, you remember that even more.

“I truly wish that it would have finished on a better note, but you can’t change that. So I have to be a big boy and make sure that I go home and stress to the kids of just how proud I am of what we accomplished and also make the kids sit back and reflect and realize what they did.”

WJOL CLASSIC BOYS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP: JOLIET CENTRAL 77, RICH EAST 69 (OT)

Steelmen take control, dismiss Rich East

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Jose Grubbs had the perfect title for the championship game of the 19th WJOL Classic at the University of St. Francis: “Helter-skelter.”

It was that, especially in the first half when prairie-fire fast Rich East boys basketball team was trying to run Grubbs and his Joliet Central teammates out of the Pat Sullivan Gym. The Rockets nearly did so.

But the Steelmen came back and, after a rollicking overtime, earned a 77-69 victory.

“We knew going to the second half that we weren’t play-

ing our game,” guard Jerry Gillespie said. “We had a little pep talk with the coach, and he boosted us.”

The talk perhaps explains the paint peeling off the basement floor. There was more purpose to each Central possession in the second half and as much or more on defensive sets.

“I don’t know if you’d call it panic mode, but we were trying to get the pace slowed down,” Steelmen coach Jeff Corcoran said. “With their pressure all the time, when you get into your offensive set, a lot of times you don’t run anything.”

Rich East ruled the tempo until Gillespie, who led the winning team with 24 points,

and fellow guard Taquan Sims began to jog rather than run the ball into the front court. Better positioning also kept the Rockets’ fast-break chances to a minimum in the second half.

“We locked in on defense,” said Grubbs, who scored nine of his 13 points in overtime.

“That was key.”

So was Grubbs’ accuracy from the free-throw line. He was 7 of 7 in overtime.

It came down to an extra four minutes when the Rockets (2-2) raced back from a 10-point deficit in the final four minutes of regulation.

They trailed, 56-46, but Nick Moody started the comeback with a driving layup after

hopping over a pair of injured players in the free-throw lane.

A 3-pointer by Julian Hrady (20 points) cut the gap to 58-54 with 2:31 left and Marsean Ross’ 16-footer with 41 seconds remaining tied it at 60.

Joliet Central (2-2) had to mount one more comeback to collect the championship plaque thanks to a 3-pointer

by Rich East’s Calvin Harrington at 21 seconds into overtime. It was effected by Grubbs scoring four points from the line along with baskets by Sims and Gillespie in the next 90 seconds, offset only by a free-throw by Moody to put Central ahead by four points. The lead grew as the clock wound down.

Minooka perseveres in double OT vs. Plainfield C. offset by free throws by Roberts. The final three points of the margin were erased by Thomaston’s 3-pointer from deep on the right side as regulation time expired.

“We fought to send it into overtime,” Wildcats coach Steve Lamberti said. “We’d like to make better decisions and find a way to win that one.

They’re smart; they execute and run their stuff.”

It was the first tie since the opening tip. Central owned the lead briefly on Brooks’ 18-footer, but Joe Butler’s basket triggered a six-point surge that the Wildcats answered in full, with Brooks’ 19-footer forcing a second overtime, 6363.

Windt’s layup brought Central another brief advantage, but Nick Clemons’ 3-pointer put the Indians ahead to stay.

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Normally, fifth-place games don’t offer championship excitement.

Minooka and Plainfield Central offered something more Saturday in the WJOL Classic at the University of St. Francis. After chasing the Indians for four quarters, the Wildcats forced overtime and hung around for eight more minutes before Minooka earned a 71-68 victory to claim fifth place in the eightteam scrap.

The double-overtime triumph was keyed by a pair of factors. One was named Larry Roberts. In his fourth varsity contest, the junior guard scored 23 points, 12 of them after three quarters had been played.

The other factor was the staying power of the Indians (2-2). Down a man after Michael Lyons hit his head hard – he returned to the bench smiling but was ruled out for safety – four Plainfield Central players fouled out.

As Robbie Brooks, Logan Ivy, Nick Thomaston and Johnny Kostelz and their combined 51 points exited, the Wildcats lost valuable experience and Minooka pounced, Roberts leading the way.

“I knew we were in the double-bonus, so I wanted the ball; I knew I was hitting my free throws,” Roberts said.

“It was pretty crazy, but I knew that as long as we were hitting free throws, we’d win the game.”

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Plainfield Central’s Logan Ivy puts up a 3-point shot during its game Monday against Joliet Central in the 19th annual WJOL Classic. Plainfield Central lost to double-overtime contest Saturday to Minooka for fifth place in the tournament.

Roberts was 7 of 8 from the line, and the Indians were 24 of 38 overall. Plainfield Central was 14 of 23, led by Justin Windt’s 6 of 11 output.

“To his credit, he’s done a better job defensively than he has offensively,” Minooka coach Scott Tanaka said of Roberts.

Aside from its length, the battle wasn’t unexpected. The teams will meet twice in Southwest Prairie Con-

ference play.

“We just weren’t able to pull away for some reason,” Tanaka said. “Every time we got something going, they did a good job of getting gritty. But our guys followed through.”

The pluck of Plainfield Central (1-3) was evident in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats whittled a seven-point deficit to three thanks to baskets by Windt (16 points) and Brooks (15), which were

The Celtics led, 32-25, after three quarters but withstood a rally by the Hilltoppers (1-3), who were paced by Harold Davis (21 points) and Jalen Jackson (13).

JOLIET WEST THANKSGIVING CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP: PLAINFIELD NORTH 66, JOLIET WEST 40

By KEVIN RYAN Shaw Media Correspondent

• Sunday, November 30, 2014

JOLIET – Despite missing two of its starters, Saturday night belonged to Plainfield North boys hoops as it cruised to a 66-40 victory in the championship game over the tournament host Joliet West.

Both teams entered the game at 3-0 as West and North cruised through pool play, but North proved to be too much for West as they dominated the second and third quarters.

“They’re a solid basketball team,” Joliet West coach Nick DiForti said. “They have a lot of weapons, and they play very good offensive basketball.”

Both squads started the game off slowly and struggled to hit their shots. It wasn’t until halfway through the first quarter when North broke a 4-all tie and started taking control of the game.

“We weren’t running anything,” Plainfield North coach Robert Krahulik said. “We were nervous and a little anxious. We really started to emphasizing setting screens and moving the ball as we went on.”

Senior Trevor Stumpe led the way for Plainfield (4-0) as he had nine of North’s 12 points in the first quarter, and went on to finish the game with a team high of 17 points.

“We were dribble happy in the first quarter,” Stumpe said. “The second quarter we tried to slow it down and run our offense, and that seemed to work.”

North started the second quarter with a 6-0 lead and carried that momentum into halftime as it built a 32-22 lead.

In the third quarter, North grabbed a convincing advantage in the game as it went on an 11-0 run, taking a 40-22 lead.

It wasn’t until 3:23 left in the quarter when West’s sophomore Jaron Nabors (five points) nailed a 3-pointer to slow down North’s momentum. By the time Nabors put West (3-1) on the board however, North’s offense was in rhythm.

Krahulik was pleased to see several of his players make plays and contribute to the 26-point victory.

“As you can see, we’re deep,” Krahulik said. “We played nine and everyone contributed.”

North hopes to remain undefeated as it travels to play Lockport at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin captured its second-straight Class 5A IHSA football state championship Saturday, beating Lombard Montini – for the second year in a row – 29-14.

The Cyclones (14-0) trailed the Broncos (10-4) in the second quarter, only the second time in 2014 that Sacred Heart trailed.

But they rattled off 29-straight points to gain a commanding lead they never relinquished.

Despite the early misstep, the Cyclones almost established a running clock for the 14th time this season.

“Sure, (running clock) is a goal but it is not our main priority,” said receiver Albert Okweugbunam, who caught four passes for 84 yards and a score. “We come out and just try to do the right things, every time. Once we settled in, we did enough to get the win and that was our goal all season.”

Southern Miss quarterback recruit Gabe Green threw for 207 yards and a score, and running back Sam Sergent rushed for 98 yards and two scores for the Cyclones.

Montini was led by Charles Norgle III’s 234 yards passing and two scores, both to Leon Thornton III. Tyler Millikan added 121 yards receiving.

Class 4A – Rochester 49, Phillips 28: Rochester rolled up 525

yards of offense, beating Chicago Phillips, 49-28, to win its fifth-consecutive IHSA Class 4A state football championship Friday.

It was maybe the most unexpected of the five.

“This team didn’t do anything different, but it is a little surprising,” Rochester coach Derek Leonard said. “I don’t think anyone really expected us to be here, but that is a testament to these kids.”

The Rockets used their fastpaced offense to near perfection, moving the ball nearly at

will against the Wildcats, especially in the second half.

The Rockets (12-2) also took advantage of a number of miscues by the Wildcats (13-1), who became just the second Chicago Public League team to make the state title game.

Class 2A – Pearl City 41, Maroa-Forsyth 12: Eastland-Pearl

City forced five turnovers and scored off each one as the Wildcats rolled to the IHSA Class 2A football state championship, 41-12, over Maroa-Forsyth on Friday.

With three fumbles and two interceptions, the Wildcats put themselves in prime position repeatedly. Throw in a turnover on downs by the Trojans (10-4) from which Eastland-Pearl City scored its first touchdown, and the Wildcats (14-0) were a perfect 6-for-6 in the points-off-turnovers statistic.

Class 1A – Forreston 20, Carrollton 15: Forreston Quar-

terback Robert DeVries led a punishing rushing attack of the Cardinals (13-1) with 131 yards and a score as they defeated Carrollton, 20-15, for the IHSA Class 1A football championship.

Fullback Spencer Cruthis added 113 and a touchdown and Aaron Shelton had the third score for Forreston. The Cardinals rushed for 369 yards on the day.

Forreston converted three fourth downs on the game-winning, 20-play drive spanning the end of the third quarter and beginning of the fourth, culminating in a DeVries 4-yard run.

One of the conversions came on the Cardinals’ own 20.

The Cardinals nearly sealed the game midway through the fourth. Leading 20-15 with 7:30 left, Forreston was driving but fumbled into the end zone. Recovered by Carrollton’s Jerrett Smith, the Hawks (13-1) took over on their own six.

ILLINOIS 47, NORTHWESTERN 33

Northwestern ends with loss to Illinois

By JOHN JACKSON The Associated Press EVANSTON – With Trevor Siemian out for the season with a knee injury, Zack Oliver had a chance to take over as the starting quarterback and lead Northwestern into the postseason.

Instead, the junior led the Wildcats into the offseason with five turnovers (three interceptions and two fumbles) as Northwestern dropped a 47-33 decision to in-state and Big Ten rival Illinois.

“Not good enough,” Oliver said.

“I came out the first half and turned the ball over four times. You can’t win like that, and that’s on me. As a quarterback, I’ve got to be better.

That’s something I’m going to focus on in the offseason.”

Reilly O’Toole passed for 147 yards and three touchdowns and also ran for 147 yards, Josh Ferguson had a pair of rushing scores and Illinois (6-6, 3-5 Big Ten) took advantage of the mistakes to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2011.

“Illinois started the game and put us behind the eight ball from the standpoint of being down multiple scores,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “We got it down to eight, but we couldn’t get over the hump.

“Congratulations to them. I wish them best of luck in the postseason.”

For the Illini, the win also may end speculation that coach Tim Beckman could lose his job in his third season.

Two years ago, Northwestern won the annual matchup to hand the Illini their 10th loss in Beckman’s first season. It’s the first time Illinois has won at Ryan Field since 2002.

“We’ve got six wins under our belt and I don’t think anybody in here thought we’d win six,” Beckman said.

To bring its record to .500 and be eligible for a bowl, Illinois had to close out the regular season with back-to-back wins, including its first road win on Saturday.

“Whenever we play Northwestern, as a rival, we should be able to beat them,” Ferguson said. “Today was a product of all the hard work.”

Northwestern (5-7, 3-5) was led by freshman running back Justin Jackson, who had 130 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns. Oliver finished with 221 yards passing, but much of it came after the outcome had been decided. He had just 9 yards in the first half.

O’Toole, a senior, got the start over usual starter Wes Lunt, who had been ineffective in the previous two games after returning from a broken leg. Beckman said during the week he planned to play both quarterbacks, but he stayed with the hot hand in O’Toole.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ezekiel Elliott scored untouched on a 44-yard run on fourth-and-1 with 4:58 left to help No. 7 Ohio State, without injured star quarterback J.T. Barrett, beat Michigan, 4228 on Saturday.

With no postseason, the only thing left to be decided for Michigan (5-7, 3-5 Big Ten) is the future of coach Brady Hoke. Interim athletic director Jim Hackett will make the call on whether the coach stays or goes.

Barrett threw for a score and ran for two before his right leg crumpled underneath him when he was tackled on a run on the first play of the fourth quarter.

He broke his right ankle and will have surgery Sunday.

Cardale Jones came in for the Buckeyes (11-1, 8-0) to lead the drive that culminated in Elliott’s long run. Darron Lee returned a fumble 33 yards late to add to the lead.

No. 10 Michigan State 34, Penn State 10: At State College, R.J. Shelton re-

turned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and Jeremy Langford ran for 118 yards and two scores in Michigan State’s victory over Penn State.

The Spartans (10-2, 7-1) won their third straight game and hit the double-digit win mark for the fourth time in the last five seasons under coach Mark Dantonio.

The Spartans have four of their six 10-plus win seasons in school history under Dantonio.

Shelton doused the enthusiasm of the emotional senior day festivities at Beaver Stadium when he used all of 14 seconds to dart through defenders for the score.

From there, the Spartans never really dazzled against the Nittany Lions (6-6, 2-6). Connor Cook threw a 10-yard TD pass and Langford chipped in with a 3-yard score in the third quarter to methodically put it away.

No. 14 Wisconsin 34, No. 22 Minnesota 24: At Madison, Wis., Melvin Gordon ran for 151 yards and accounted for two scores, and Wisconsin overcame a two-touchdown deficit to beat Minnesota and earn a spot in the Big Ten championship game.

Joel Stave threw for 215 yards, in-

cluding 160 to receiver Alex Erickson.

Stave’s 17-yard touchdown pass to Robert Wheelwright with 4:41 left gave the Badgers (10-2, 7-1) a 10-point lead.

It was not easy. Physical Minnesota (8-4, 5-3) let a 17-3 lead early in the second quarter slip away.

David Cobb ran for 118 yards on 25 carries, including a 40-yard score.

Indiana 23, Purdue 16: At Bloomington, Ind., Zander Diamont will definitely put Saturday’s touchdown run on his Bucket list.

Indiana’s fans won’t forget this one, either. The much maligned freshman quarterback capped a second-half rally by scoring on a 1-yard run with 27 seconds left to give Indiana a victory over rival Purdue (3-9, 1-7).

“It’s hard to describe a moment like that, it’s something you dream about,” Diamont said after Indiana reclaimed the Old Oaken Bucket. “Getting to score and just kind of having this moment with my teammates to celebrate, it means the world. Especially after the season, it hasn’t been easy for us.”

He finished 15 of 24 for 119 yards, ran 11 times for 34 yards and led the Hoosiers (4-8, 1-7) to scores on five of their final six possessions including his decisive score.

Rutgers 41, Maryland 38: At College Park, Md., Ralph Friedgen had just helped orchestrate the biggest comeback victory in Rutgers history, and the last thing he wanted to do was talk about himself or his strange return to Maryland.

Yet there were questions to be asked, so Friedgen reluctantly pulled himself away from family and friends to address reporters after the Scarlet Knights rallied from a 25-point deficit to beat Maryland (7-5, 4-4).

His offense amassed 491 yards, Gary Nova threw for 347 yards and four touchdowns, and three receivers finished with more than 100 yards.

Janarion Grant had eight catches for 105 yards; Andre Patton had eight receptions for 101 yards and two touchdowns; and Leonte Carroo caught six passes for 104 yards and two scores.

The Scarlet Knights (7-5, 3-5) trailed 35-10 late in the first half before closing to 35-17 at the break. It would be the first of four straight possessions that ended in touchdowns.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Hopefully, Northern Illinois enjoyed the trip up I-94 to Kalamazoo.

After their 31-21 win against Western Michigan on Friday to clinch the MAC West title, the Huskies will make the same trip next week – except two hours farther to Ford Field in Detroit to face Bowling Green in the MAC Championship game.

Six turnovers by the Broncos (8-4, 6-2 MAC) helped the Huskies ensure the rematch.

“When you turn the ball over six times you’re not going to win many football games,” Western Michigan head coach and NIU alum P.J. Fleck said.

“Whether I’m Rod Carey, whether I’m P.J. Fleck, whether I’m Nick Saban in front of you, when you turn the ball over six times you’re not going to win many football games.”

After NIU had a 65-yard touchdown pass from Drew Hare to Aregeros Turner on the first play from scrimmage, the Huskies proceeded to turn the ball over twice, had a field goal blocked and weren’t able to take advantage of the Broncos’ mistakes in the first half.

However, NIU looked like a completely different team in the second half, and scored 24 unanswered points from the tail end of the first half until the end of the game. NIU got two 2-yard touchdown runs

by Hare, another 21-yard run from Akeem Daniels and a 40yard Christian Hagan field goal on its 24-point run. The defense held Western’s offense in check, and took advantage of the Broncos’ turnovers.

“A lot of ups and downs with momentum, and that

happens in a game when you have as many turnovers as you do. We were fortunate to come out on the good side of the turnover battle and that was probably the biggest key to the game, that we were able to capitalize on those in the end.”

NIU held Western Michigan tailback Jarvion Franklin, the MAC’s leading rusher coming in, to just 3.2 yards per carry. Fleck said he was dealing with an ankle injury that would have sidelined most players.

“We had a good idea of how they we’re going to run him.

They don’t make it a secret because they’re a good running football team too,” Carey said. “It was man on man and I think for the most part we got the better of it most of the day.”

Fleck’s team improved tremendously from 1-11 last season, and will look to win the program’s first bowl game.

However, NIU is still king of the MAC West, and will to regain the MAC throne when they face n MAC East champ Bowling Green, the program that beat the Huskies in last year’s MAC Championship game, in this year’s title tilt on Dec. 5.

“They know how to win.

They know how to win. That’s a program that I remember when I first got there, they were on a 27-game losing streak,” Fleck said of the Huskies. “At one point when Joe Novak left they were 2-10 and needed to get back into winning ways and learn how to win again. Jerry Kill instilled that and obviously Dave Doeren and Rod have done a tremendous job of keeping that going.

“But they know to win.

There’s not one doubt that goes through their minds the entire game that they’re not going to win.”

and they keep working.”

Kessler, who went 32 for 40, also became the first quarterback to throw five touchdown passes in a half against Notre Dame while completing 16 straight passes in a stretch spanning halftime.

After setting his career high in completions, the junior finished the regular season with 3,505 yards passing and 36 TDs against just four interceptions.

Agholor caught 12 passes for 120 yards in perhaps his final game at USC, while Justin Davis rushed for 81 yards and a 16-yard score in the third quarter. Javorius Allen added 93 yards rushing.

Obviously aware of Notre Dame’s injury woes on defense, USC opened the game at a high offensive tempo, running the ball right at the depleted Irish front.

LOS ANGELES – Cody Kessler passed for 372 yards and threw two of his six touchdown passes to George Farmer, leading Southern California to a 49-14 victory over Notre Dame in the 85th edition of the intersectional rivalry Saturday.

Adoree Jackson, Darreus Rogers and Nelson Agholor also caught TD passes in the first half for the Trojans (8-4), who jumped to a 35-0 lead in the second quarter.

USC easily reclaimed the Jeweled Shillelagh after two straight losses to the Irish, piling up 577 yards against Notre Dame’s injury-plagued defense.

With Kessler’s second-half scoring throw to Randall Telfer, Notre Dame yielded

six touchdown passes for the first time in the program’s 127-year history.

That defensive low caps a miserable slide for the Irish (7-5), who have lost five of their last six games.

Everett Golson struggled mightily before Malik Zaire replaced him late in the first half with Notre Dame already trailing by 35. Zaire led a scoring drive and finished with 170 yards passing, providing hope for Notre Dame’s future.

But the present in this rivalry belongs to the Trojans, who rebounded from their lifeless effort last week in a blowout loss to UCLA in their other big rivalry game.

“These guys have been such a resilient group all year,” said USC coach Steve Sarkisian, who won his first shot at Notre Dame. “They have been through so much,

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Blackhawks didn’t mind the early wakeup call Friday.

The Anaheim Ducks played as if they were sleepwalking through the first period, and even the stellar goaltending of Frederik Andersen wasn’t enough.

Patrick Kane scored two goals and Andrew Shaw and Brad Richards each had a goal and an assist, leading the Blackhawks to a 4-1 victory over the Ducks on Friday.

“We had some players who came out and played very hard from the start,” said Kane, who scored his 10th of the season into en empty net with 59 seconds left. “Getting up 2-0 was huge. But I thought the third period was our best period, to be honest. We really took it to them, but we couldn’t capitalize because their goaltender was awesome and kept them in the game.”

Corey Crawford made 23 saves, helping the Hawks win for the fifth time in six games.

Butler, resurgent Rose carry Bulls past Celtics

By KEN POWTAK The Associated Press BOSTON – It’s no secret that the Bulls are a much better team with a healthy Derrick Rose.

He showed that again on Friday afternoon when the Bulls were struggling to get consistent offense. Rose scored 14 of his 21 points in the second half – 12 coming early in the third quarter – to help the Bulls pull away for a 109-102 win over the Boston Celtics.

“When he plays like that, it’s huge for our team,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said.

“When you look at his plus-minus when he’s on the floor for our team this year, it’s off the charts. When he’s on the floor it makes a big difference for our team. I think we all know that.”

Rose missed large portions of the past two seasons with serious knee injuries. He’s been struggling to stay in the lineup this year due to ankle and ham-

string injuries.

“The confidence is through the roof,” he said. “I don’t need more confidence. I just need to play. I know how good I am and how good I can be. It’s just I need to be out there playing.”

Jimmy Butler hit four free throws late in the game and finished with 22 points for the Bulls, which had lost four of its previous six games.

Pau Gasol had 15 points and 15 rebounds, and Joakim Noah added 15 points and 14 boards for the Bulls.

“Every time he’s on the court he makes our team better,” Noah said of Rose. “Anytime he’s on the court, it just makes us that much more dangerous.”

Rose was held to seven points in the opening half before the 2010-11 MVP scored the 12 in the opening 4 minutes of the second half. After he went to the bench with 4:52 left in the third, he didn’t return until 7:02 remained in the game.

All about the heart

Braidwood woman educating others about LVADs

By SEAN LEARY Shaw Media Correspondent BRAIDWOOD – Janice Sammons of Braidwood was 15 when she first saw her future husband Roy, then 16, in church.

“Wow, he’s really cute!” she thought.

Nearly six decades later, Janice still thinks it. In early June, Janice almost lost him.

The heart she held close to her was the reason.

“I was told three times that it was going to be time to say goodbye and that I should make my last plans with him,” she said. “But I refused to believe that was the end.

I had faith he would make it through, and he did.”

Thanks to Janice’s tenacity, and with the help of doctors at the University of Chicago, Roy is fine. In turn, Janice has made it her mission to tell their story, to educate others Photo courtesy Jean Lachat on her husband’s condition Roy Sammons is shown with his wife, Janice, at their Braidwood home Sept. 3. Sammons underwent surand to remind people that, gery for implantation of a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) for treatment of advanced heart failure in sometimes, it’s best to keep early June 2014.

Roy’s health continued to dedon, Ohio.

You don’t know how support and heart transplant happier. It was wonderful. long you have. It’s not worth Roy had a quadruple program.

Janice said she contacted them and the leader of the team, Dr. Nir Uriel, immediately flew Roy to their hospital.

“When Roy arrived, his heart was not pumping enough blood to meet the needs of his body,” Uriel said on the hospital’s website. “He was near death.”

At the university, Roy received a Left Ventricular Assist Device pump. According to information from the University of Chicago, LVADs, once only used to keep someone alive until a heart transplant, are now a long-term option to mechanically pump blood throughout a heart patient’s body.

“It was a miracle,” Janice said.

The LVAD comes with an unusual side effect. Roy does not have a pulse. Due to that, Janice is educating local emergency medical service providers about her husband and his LVAD. This includes how to care for him in an emergency.

Because if they see Roy doesn’t have a pulse – without knowing his back story – they might unwittingly begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation. According to information supplied by the University of Chicago, performing CPR might dislodge the device or even kill Roy. Janice’s efforts already are working. In the event of a power failure, they are welcome to go to the fire station to keep Roy’s LVAD charged.

“The paramedics have been great,” Janice said.

“We went there to tell them about his condition, and they not only all wanted to know about it, but they made sure they were all there so that they could all learn about the LVAD and his condition, not only for Roy, but for any other potential patients with this condition.”

Assembly focuses an anti-bullying The HERALD-NEWS LEMONT – On Sept. 12, Old Quarry Middle School students were visited by anti-bullying school speaker Cary Trivanovich at the first Positive Behavior Assembly of the year.

Trivanovich shared his personal journey through middle school and how a certain group of students made a difference in his life.

His use of pantomimes, music, and personal stories entertained the students and left them with a message, “A

successful student achieves their goals. A significant student changes the world.”

Trivanovich’s message of being kind, respectful, and compassionate tied in with the Old Quarry Middle School positive behavior mission. He encouraged students to help each other and to support their classmates.

He stressed that students should be successful for themselves and significant to others. He inspired the students to be leaders and be “in the first chair.”

Trivanovich told the stu-

dents as they mature, particularly in middle school, they learn to accept each other with respect and dignity. He stressed how important this time is to learn how to take care of each other and become a significant role model for their peers. This will eliminate bullying.

The assembly was part of Old Quarry Middle School’s 4-Rs positive behavior program which stresses respect for self, respect for others, respect for learning and respect for the students’ environment.

LEMONT – Reading specialists, Colleen McNaughton and Liz Janusz were recognized at the board of education meeting for their leadership and training in the area of literacy, particularly in the areas of Common Core State Standards, fluency work and helping teachers implement

a framework for literacy and Daily 5.

Recently, the two spearheaded training at River Valley School in the area of literacy. They met teachers at school over the summer to help them develop stronger literacy programming for their children.

All the teachers, including Janusz and McNaughton volunteered their time.

JOLIET – The George Werden Buck Boys & Girls Club of Joliet held its first beer tasting fundraiser on Oct. 15 at the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate in Joliet.

For a $35 ticket, guests sampled several varieties of beer provided by Lake Shore Beverage and snacked on appetizers provided by the Jacob Henry Mansion.

All proceeds directly benefited the youth at the Boys & Girls Club, which has been serving the Joliet community for over 75 years. According to newly appointed Executive Director Kahlil Diab, The Boys & Girls Club has more than 1500 Joliet area members – ages 6 to 18 – enrolled in the Joliet area.

The club provides critical academic and life skills, as well as a safe place for children to learn and grow during after school hours when supervision is limited and during days when school is closed.

Because of the success of this pilot event, the Boys & Girls Club plans on holding another in 2015. The G.W. Buck Boys & Girls Club is located at 226 E. Clinton St. in Joliet. For information and/or to donate, call 815-723-3434 or visit WWW. BGCJOLIET.COM. – The Herald-News

The HERALD-NEWS LOCKPORT – For the achievements he has thus far amassed, and the dedication to education his career has demonstrated, Waubonsee Community College has recognized Dirk Erik “DJ” Skogsberg, Taft School District 90 superintendent, as its Student Success: Featured Alumnus for the month of October.

Skogsberg, 40, formerly of Aurora and now of Plainfield, came to Waubonsee in 1992.

Inspired by his fifth grade teacher, Jeannine Noe, Skogsberg said a career in edu-

cation had been his ambition throughout middle and high school.

After earning an Associate in Science degree from Waubonsee, Skogsberg earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Eastern Illinois Dirk University in Skogsberg 1996. Within a month of his graduation at EIU, he had been hired as an adjunct faculty mathematics instructor at Waubonsee.

He was one of the first in-

structors to teach at the new campus adjacent to Rush Copley Medical Center on U.S. Route 34 in Aurora. Skogsberg would teach at Waubonsee for the next 14 years, even as he went on to serve in middle schools in Yorkville, East Aurora and Naperville.

Skogsberg intended to spend his career in the classroom, until he served on a school improvement team in East Aurora School District 13. After attending an informational meeting at the invitation of a colleague, Skogsberg said the idea of working in administration had him “hooked.”

He earned his Master of Arts in Education degree from Aurora University in 2002, and took his first steps in school administration a month later when he was hired as Assistant Principal for Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment at Madison and Jefferson Junior High Schools in Naperville Community Unit School District 203.

From there, Skogsberg went to Minooka Elementary Community Consolidated School District 201, where he served as principal at Minooka Junior High School and Little Indians Learning Center

from 2007-10, and on to Orland Park, where he worked in the district office as Assistant Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment at Orland School District 135.

In 2012, Skogsberg was hired at Taft as the elementary school district’s next superintendent. Even as superintendent, Skogsberg said his taks range from checking children’s heads for lice and taking care of nosebleeds to shoveling snow or scrubbing the gymnasium floor to remove excess salt tracked in by students and staff on winter days.

Cub Scouts tackle annual Woods Walk

Cub Scout Pack 94 from New Lenox and Pack 324 from Bourbonnais tackled the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s 14th annual Woods Walk challenge this year and attempted to finish all of the required hikes during one Mega Hike Day on Sept. 20.

When storms and cut the Mega Hike Day short, some Scouts finished on their own, and some finished as a group on Oct. 25. Dave Nichols, Cubmaster for Troop 94, said the District’s Woods Walk challenge, which awards medals to participants who hike seven of 10 designated trails, was a great way to get the boys to explore nature.

The Woods Walk challenge started on June 1 and ended on Oct. 31.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The reprints come at a steady pace

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Here are three recommended books that were republished this year: “Falsecards” by Mike Lawrence (Master Point Press), and from Weidenfeld & Nicolson in Britain “Sharpen Your Bridge Technique” by Hugh Kelsey (which is subtitled: How to think like an expert) and “The New Complete Book of Bridge” by Albert Dormer and updated by Ron Klinger.

This deal from the Dormer book would trip up many players. South is in four spades. West leads the club nine: two, six, ace. Declarer plays a trump.

East wins with his ace and returns the club queen. How should South continue?

Note the auction. On the second round, South, with a balanced hand, was not worth a jump to game. He made a help-suit game-try in his weaker minor. Then North correctly jumped to four spades with that wonderful singleton diamond and a fourth trump.

(Yes, South might have rebid two no-trump.)

When East plays the club six at trick one, declarer should realize that West has led a singleton. So, if, at trick three, South makes the natural play of covering East’s club queen with his king, West will ruff and shift to a heart.

Then declarer will lose one spade, one heart, one club and the club ruff.

Now suppose that South does not cover the club queen. If East switches to hearts, South does not concede the club ruff. So East plays a third club. West ruffs and leads a heart, but declarer wins in his hand, plays a trump to dummy, ruffs a club in his hand, cashes the diamond ace, ruffs a diamond in the dummy and discards his heart seven on the high club eight – contract made.

Dear Doctor K: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been running for years and have always stretched before my morning run. Now I hear that I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stretch first. Why not?

Dear Reader: You should stretch before your run â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but perhaps not the types of stretches youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing.

Static stretches are what most people have traditionally done, both before and after exercise.

Static stretches involve adopting and holding a position that stretches a muscle or group of muscles. For example, if you stand up straight and hinge forward at the hips, then hold the position with your arms hanging down, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example of a static stretch. The purpose of static stretching is to encourage muscles to relax, which then allows them to be stretched a little longer. Static stretching promotes flexibility.

However, experts now believe that static stretching before exercising does not improve athletic performance. Indeed, it can actually undercut strength and power, possibly by affecting the ability of the muscles to store and swiftly release energy.

Exercises that require explosive muscular activity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like sprinting, or dunking a basketball â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seem to be compromised by static stretches before exercise. So, generally speaking, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to do static stretches after exercise or at a separate time entirely.

The best stretches to get you ready for exercise are dynamic stretches. A dynamic stretch, as the name suggests, involves movement as you stretch.

Dynamic stretches typically take specific muscles and joints through a full range of motion. They often mimic a sports motion. A golf swing without a club in your hands is an example of a dynamic stretch.

Dynamic stretches increase the range of motion at the joints. They

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff help warm up the body, pumping more blood and oxygen to the muscles.

They loosen up the muscles, preparing them for more intense use.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll describe three dynamic stretches. You can find photos showing the correct form for these exercises on my website, AskDoctorK.com. â&#x20AC;˘ TORSO ROTATION WITH A REACH. Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart. Reach toward your left side with your right arm and then toward your right side with your left arm, while shifting your weight with each change of direction. Tap your toes with each shift (your right toe when you reach your right arm, your left toe when you reach your left arm). â&#x20AC;˘ KNEE LIFTS. Stand up straight, bringing your feet together. Lift your right knee and then your left knee, touching both hands to the knee being lifted. â&#x20AC;˘ ARM SWEEPS. Stand up straight with your feet together. As you inhale, sweep your arms out to the sides and up toward the ceiling. As you exhale, sweep your arms down to your sides.

Repeat each dynamic stretch about 10 to 20 times. Repeat the sequence for about 5 to 8 minutes. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like, you can always add a sports-specific movement to your routine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a golf or tennis swing, for example.

Stretching is as valuable as ever when exercising. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that recent studies of human physiology have taught us that dynamic stretching is better before exercise and static stretching is better after it.

Dear Moving On: It’s possible that the “drama” and turmoil you put your family through while in the throes of your addiction is the reason your mother and sister avoid you. They may be reluctant to take a chance again.

Because they have made it plain that they aren’t interested in a closer relationship with you and your children, you should ABSOLUTELY get on with your life. Sobriety isn’t easy to attain, and you have every right to enjoy yours to the fullest.

It would be healthier for you to stop courting rejection and “create” a caring family for yourself and your children. Many people do this for a variety of reasons.

It’s not unusual for people in recovery to socialize with others like themselves. Start there, because it would be better for all

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips of you to spend your time with people who welcome and appreciate you.

Dear Abby: My fiance, “Bryan,” is a mama’s boy.

There’s nothing wrong with loving your parents and being close to them, but his family takes it to the extreme. Bryan must see them multiple times a week, call and text them all the time, and they still don’t get enough. Then they usually call wanting something or needing our help.

Bryan and I have worked hard to get where we are, and we can’t always be at their beck and call. His sister says I have “changed him” because he doesn’t come around as often anymore.

I’m 21 and Bryan is 24. I don’t think he realizes that growing up means leaving the nest and detaching from the family a bit.

I understand closeness, but if I’m going to be his wife, I’m scared I won’t come first. What happens if we have a child who needs him, but Bryan has to bail his mama out of something? – Getting Worried in

Georgia

Dear Getting Worried: Do not wait until you have a child to find out that the two of you will never agree on this. Find out NOW. Sometimes the most important conversations are the most difficult to engage in.

You and Bryan need to have a serious talk about how you feel about his relationship with his parents and sister, because unless you come to a mutual understanding, it will become a source of constant irritation after you two are married, and you will both be unhappy.

• Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

• Sunday, November 30, 2014

Dear Abby: I am a former drama queen and addict now enjoying long-term sobriety, or trying to.

What’s missing in my life is my family. Since returning from rehab, I have been “going it alone” – and I’m not sure why.

My kids are the only grandchildren in the family. I work and go to school.

I am pleasant. There have been some rough spots I have had to deal with, and when I have needed to, I have called my mom or sister, but they don’t call me or visit. They have expressed no love for me through all of this. When I call, I feel like I’m intruding.

Aren’t I entitled to their love and caring? I feel abandoned. It’s hard doing things on my own.

My family lives close by, so distance isn’t the issue.

What am I missing?

I want my kids and me to have a family, but when I try to reach out, I end up hurt by their lack of interest. Should I just get on with my life? I have been going through this for years. – Moving On In

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Opportunities will be abundant, making it possible to fulfill your dreams as long as you don’t scatter your energy trying to take on and do too many things. Moderation, concentration and a keen sense of priorities will be your keys to success. Strive for perfection.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Cash will come your way if you use your imagination. Avoid confrontations. Being a team player will bring higher returns than going it alone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You need to do some research. The story you are being told is missing

some important information. Be wary of anyone asking you to make a quick decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Make a commitment. Contracts and collaborations will end up bearing fruit.

Get serious about your personal and professional choices and your direction. You can make a difference.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Tread very carefully around family, friends and peers. Do your job competently and quietly in order to escape the discord and tension building up around you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Step into

the spotlight. Until others see what you have to offer, you won’t be considered for an opportunity that you deserve as much as anyone else. Speak up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Rebuff someone looking for a handout.

Be extremely cautious when using passwords, PINs or dealing with financial documentation. Leave your possessions in a safe place.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will be sensitive to what others are doing around you, but that doesn’t mean you should get involved in a joint venture. Protect your assets.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Someone who intrigues you will not be a good choice for a personal or professional partner. The differences that you find attractive will end up costing you emotionally or financially.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – An investment will prove lucrative. Put some distance between you and the people you live with or live near. Work on projects that will take you away from the storm that is brewing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t be too impatient with people who don’t share your vision. Keep your

temper under control and make your case without demands or criticism. Diplomacy will lead to victory.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Your high energy will result in greater popularity. Try something new and exciting with a group of your friends. Travel opportunities look promising. Romance is in the stars.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You won’t get the help you need unless you are willing to ask. With a little persistence and plenty of integrity, you will gain ground and inspire others to back your pursuit.
