Remember to honor area veterans VIEWS Kate Schott There is one thing I really dislike about Veterans Day – the fact that some seem to see it as nothing more than another chance to get a great deal on a new appliance.

Yes, there are great sales going on, but Veterans Day is a day to honor those who served in the military. Why are we getting monetary benefits from the sacrifices they made through their service?

If anyone should be getting anything, it’s the veterans.

And you do see that: There are restaurants offering free meals, automobile businesses offering free oil changes and the like, and others I’m sure I’m not aware of.

And of course, there are numerous ceremonies planned for Will and Grundy counties that will pay tribute to our local veterans too.

We saw two on Friday afternoon: The annual ceremony at Joliet Central (read more on page 6), and a dedication service at Cantigny VFW Post 367 in Joliet of a new bus that will be used by the Veterans Assistance

A dedication service was held Friday at Cantigny VFW Post 367 in Joliet of a new bus that will be used by the Veterans Assistance Commission of Will County to transport its members to medical and social services throughout the region.

Commission of Will County to transport its members to medical and social services throughout the region.

State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow’s office earmarked $14,000 in funds seized under the Money Laundering Statute to cover roughly half the cost of the shuttle bus while the VAC earmarked $18,000 for the remaining cost. Terry D’Arcy covered the cost of the design and customization of the bus exterior, which includes the VAC logos.

I hope we see dozens more of similar contributions and

ceremonies that honor our military members. On our part, we have a special Veterans Day special section in the Wednesday editions of our publications.

••• Last year, I mentioned a few times the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation project, “Faces Never Forgotten” at www.vvmf. org/Wall-of-Faces/ which is seeking help locating missing photos of Vietnam veterans from Illinois. The photos will help complete an electronic “Wall of Faces” in the new ed-

ucation center at the Vietnam Memorial Wall.

Last year, there were 34 people from Will County without a photo, and five from Grundy County without one. As of Friday, there were 18 in Will County (but I think four of them are supposed to be in Williamson County downstate so let’s go with 14) and two in Grundy County (actually, three are listed in Grundy, but one has a hometown of Chicago Heights which is in Cook County).

Train station working on funding issues

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A new train station could still open in 2017, depending on when a funding impasse gets resolved, according to the city’s project engineer on the downtown transportation center.

Construction of both train and bus stations was supposed to start by late summer.

But the state would not approve bids for a train station when it was apparent that the project was so far

Des Plaines Garden coming down; among last of low-income complexes in city

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com

Section 8 opportunities

Pierce had been trying for five years to get a Section 8

JHN

JOLIET – Michael Simelton watched last week as workers loaded into trucks the belongings of the first resident moving out of Des Plaines Garden Homes.

“This is a great day,” said Simelton, CEO for the Housing Authority of Joliet.

“We’re seeing the vision come to life.”

In a matter of months, wrecking crews will tear down most of Des Plaines Garden Homes, the 1950s-era public housing project that was the first built by HAJ. The apartment complex will be replaced by a mixed-income subdivision that HAJ sees as the future of public housing.

Wayne Sellers, the first resident to move Thursday, said he plans to come back.

“I didn’t have no problem here,” Sellers said, explaining his plans to move into the new Water’s Edge, a development of 68 single-family homes and townhomes to be built at the same site. “It’s going to be a new neighborhood and everything.”

But other Des Plaines Garden Homes residents said they were happy to leave and were not planning to return.

“This type of environment is not where I want to raise my kids,” said Anwanna Pierce, who has a 4-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter.

Pierce has lived at Des Plaines Garden for a year. Before that, she lived three years at Fairview Homes, another HAJ apartment complex for low-income families.

“It’s a dangerous environment,” said Pierce, who said she was the victim of a crime at Fairview. “People who don’t live here come here and dirty it.”

NEW ERA IN PUBLIC HOUSING

Photos by Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

ABOVE: Pierre Mason carries a moving box from Anwanna Pierce’s apartment as she moves out of Des Plaines Garden Homes on Thursday in Joliet. Pierce’s apartment is one of 122 apartments at the Housing Authority of Joliet’s oldest public housing complex scheduled to be demolished and replaced by fewer units.

voucher, which provides federally subsidized rent payments to landlords who accept it. The vouchers are tough to get, and the waiting list is long. But everyone forced to move out of the 122 units to be demolished at Des Plaines Garden got one.

Most have expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to move.

Even Cynthia Pitchford, a public housing resident for 33 years and someone who had an opportunity to move out on a Section 8 voucher in the past, is glad to be going.

“I’m ready,” Pitchford said during an interview in her apartment – still cozy and furnished since she is not close to moving yet. “All this time I’ve been here I’ve been on resident councils or working in housing maintenance. This is the first time I can focus on myself.”

Pitchford has been an active public housing resident.

One reason she’s stayed, she said, is she felt a need to help other residents. She’s been involved in after-school programs for children. She taught housekeeping classes.

Having seen how much help some public housing residents need, she wonders how well they will do on their own.

“I try to tell them they’re going to take that crutch away from you,” Pitchford said. “I had people who didn’t know how to use a plunger.”

Because of her experience in housing maintenance with HAJ, Pitchford not only knows how to use a plunger, she can do plumbing and drywall. She has worked on furnaces. On one recent visit to a

potential new residence, she pointed out to the landlord that the water heater was broken.

Pitchford lost her HAJ job as the agency cut its staffing by about one-third. She is now taking classes at Joliet Junior College, where she expects to graduate in May and work in special education.

HUD and public housing

The HAJ layoffs were driven by funding cutbacks from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and HAJ’s own need to get control of its finances.

The number of employees at HAJ is down from 70 in 2012 to 43 today.

The decline in federal funding is one reason to move to new housing models, Simelton said.

“I think we can all see the trend of what’s happening at the national level with funding for public housing,” Simelton said. “The amount of funding has been shrinking for years. Knowing that, you have to come up with innovative ways to stay afloat as an agency.”

HAJ tore down another housing complex – Poole Garden Homes – in 2007. Those apartments were replaced with Liberty Meadows Estate, a mixed-income subdivision with duplexes, single-family homes, and rent-to-own options that make it possible for residents to become homeowners.

The new developments are built with support from tax credits and private investors.

The mixed-income nature

“Somewhere along that time, housing authorities lost their way,” he said. “They were content with just managing public housing. The intent was to create affordable

While these redevelopment projects may reflect the future of public housing in Joliet, Simelton believes they also are a throwback to the original intent of public housing.

housing.”

The difference, Simelton said, is public housing has become “very generational” for some families instead of a step up. The hope with the new subdivisions is that opportunities for ownership will make residents independent.

Fairview Homes is the last large-scale, low-income family housing complex in Joliet.

But HAJ also has begun to seek HUD approval for demolition of Fairview.

“The government no longer is investing in developments like that,” Simelton said.

For Will, Grundy vets, mental health system tough to navigate Joliet VA center wait times higher than Hines’ system average

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A national survey released last week from Wounded Warrior Project points out more than three in four soldiers – current and former – are coping with post-traumatic stress disorder and struggle to access mental health care.

A separate survey released Oct. 28 by the Government Accountability Office notes a considerable uptick in the number of veterans seeking mental health care over the years as they return home from wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The greatest difficulty with Grundy County’s 3,000 veterans is fighting the stigma that surrounds mental health, said Ken Buck, superintendent for the Grundy County Veterans Assistance Commission. He’d rather see a veteran seek help early on than find himself or herself in a precarious situation.

“The biggest challenge is getting these veterans to admit they have a mental health issue,” he said. “We’re constantly doing outreach.”

Awaiting mental health aid

Thousands of veterans from both Will and Grundy counties rely on Edward Hines’ Joliet Community Based Outpatient Clinic for various health care and mental health services.

The Joliet location reported an average October wait time of 15.03 days for mental health care – more than twice Hines’ overall system average wait time of 7.16 days, according to the Veterans Administration’s online data portal.

In October 2014, the Joliet location had an average wait time for mental health of 6.74 days.

Jane Moen, a spokeswoman for the Hines system – which includes the main Hines location and six branches – did not respond to questions via email last week about the Joliet clinic’s higher wait times for mental health services.

Denise Van Koevering,

a second spokeswoman for Hines, said some of the questions required additional research.

Both Moen and Van Koevering did not respond to email questions asking why the Joliet location’s average October 2015 wait time has more than doubled from the October 2014 wait time, despite increased staffing levels.

They cited data, however, showing that nearly 94 percent of patients in the Hines system seeking primary care, specialty care or mental health care are seen within 30 days. Just under 92 percent are seen within 30 days at Joliet.

Kristi McNichol, superintendent for Will County’s VAC, said she believes the increased wait times could be because of the center adding more health care providers to meet the need, coupled with the rising number of veterans returning home and entering the VA system for the first time.

The GAO report found that more than 80 percent of the 100 veterans at five VA centers across the country whose records were analyzed received a mental health evaluation within 30 days of the preferred dates they asked to be seen. On average, veterans were seen within four days.

Hines “underwent a significant redesign” of its outpatient mental health service delivery system in 2013 that included tele-health options and face-to-face appointments, Moen said in an email.

“The redesign improved access to the latest evidence based treatments and recovery-oriented care. Care coordination was also improved by the incorporation of CBOC and Hines staff into weekly multidisciplinary team meetings,” Moen said.

Navigating the system

Buck said he and other local advocates do what they can to make sure veterans know where they can find help.

Most of the veterans who call the VAC in Grundy County are reaching out for rides

to the Joliet clinic or for financial assistance, Buck said.

About 600 veterans are in the nonprofit’s database, and they see about 10 to 15 veterans per month.

U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Charles “Lynn” Lowder said it’s hard to get into the VA system, especially for young men and women returning home for the first time.

Lowder said he started a nonprofit called One Veteran at a Time because state and federal governments aren’t doing enough to ease the transition for veterans returning home.

The nonprofit is aimed at providing one-on-one mentoring for veterans. Lowder suggests young veterans find a mentor to help them “navigate the bureaucracy of the VA system.”

He said mentors are available through various organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, local American Legions and the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

Resources for crisis

McNichol said although her organization does not provide mental health services, she helps veterans set up appointments.

The Orland Park Vet Center brings counselors to the VAC’s Joliet office three days a week. That likely will increase with the VAC’s relocation to a larger building.

The services are available for combat veterans suffering from PTSD or veterans who are victims of sexual trauma, she said. Counseling services also are available four days a week at the Joliet Armory, she said.

McNichol said veterans know they have a number to call if they need immediate help.

The Veterans Crisis Line – a 24/7 operation launched in 2007 – has answered more than 1.8 million calls and made more than 50,000 life-saving rescues, according to the Crisis Line’s website.

The number is 1-800-2738255.

Joliet Central High School recognizes veterans at program Fifth annual ceremony focuses on Vietnam War, Hispanic veterans

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Gregory Warren would have graduated from Joliet Central High School in 1968. Instead, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps to fight in the Vietnam War. Warren was one of many military veterans who came Friday to the fifth annual Veterans Ceremony at his alma mater to be honored for his courage and sacrifices. During the war, he was wounded by a landmine that exploded, killing his friend and a fellow soldier next to him.

He received a Purple Heart for his wounds.

Along with 14 other local veterans, Warren was named in a congressional record that recognized the ceremony authored by U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville. The ceremony marked the 40th anniversary of the end to the Vietnam War. “It was really nice. I’m honored,” Warren said about the ceremony.

Other veterans recognized along with Warren included Joseph Berman, Charles Muller, Bill Thorns, Ted Micci, Felix Pasteris, Dan Ursitti, Edward Mena,

Plainfield man grazed by bullet in drive-by shooting PLAINFIELD – A bullet fired during a drive-by shooting grazed a Plainfield resident as he was walking Thursday evening to his front door in the Champion Creek subdivision.

The resident refused medical treatment and has not been very cooperative with police in the investigation, Plainfield Police Sgt. Mike Fisher said Friday afternoon, adding that police have visited the resident’s home on multiple occasions for past incidents.

Police responded to 24024 W. Champion Drive at 6:42 p.m. on a call advising of possible shots fired, according to a police news release.

Officers talked to the resident and determined that as he was walking to his front door, somebody fired multiple rounds at him from a vehicle driving by.

Fisher said the vehicle was

described as a small, dark-colored compact.

The resident was grazed by a bullet fragment and refused medical treatment, according to the news release. Also, some rounds struck the home and a vehicle in the driveway.

Fisher said a round hit a window and door in the home, and the fender of the vehicle. Champion Drive was shut down for a short time for evidence collection after the shooting.

“This was not a random shooting,” authorities said in the news release. “This event was targeted at the specific individual living at this specific residence.”

Fisher said police are conducting extra patrols in the whole neighborhood.

The incident is under investigation as of Friday afternoon, Fisher said.

Plainfield police ask anyone with information on the shooting to contact Detective Dino Dabezic at 815-439-7652.

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP – A 21-year-old man was armed with a gun and a knife during a fight with a family member Thursday, police said.

At 7:32 a.m., Will County sheriff’s deputies were called to the 14000 block of Lakeridge Drive in Plainfield Township, where witnesses reported a man with a gun, according to spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer. Police arrived to find two men fighting on the front lawn and two women yelling at them, she said.

“As deputies approached the group, they heard one of the females shouting, ‘Don’t shoot him!’ Deputies began giving orders to the group when the male subjects separated and took off running,” Hoffmeyer said. Kerry R. London, 21, allegedly dropped a “large kitchen knife” as he fled.

Several neighbors assisted

deputies with tracking the two men, who both circled back to the residence. When London was stopped while walking on the sidewalk, deputies found a loaded .22-caliber semi-automatic pistol in his waistband, Hoffmeyer said.

London was arrested on charges of domestic battery, unlawful use of a weapon, unauthorized Kerry R. possession of London a firearm and unauthorized possession of ammunition. The other man refused medical care and does not face criminal charges, Hoffmeyer said.

“London and a family member had gotten into a verbal altercation. When the victim tried to stop the argument, he and London began fighting, which eventually spilled onto the front lawn,” Hoffmeyer said.

Joliet wants its money, but is wary of suing Ill.

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet is trying to step up its claim on $6.6 million in local casino tax money being held by the state.

Joliet is joining Aurora and Elgin, and perhaps other cities with casinos in calling on Gov. Bruce Rauner to release the money, City Manager Jim Hock told the City Council this week.

Hock said the three cities have agreed to pass a resolution, which the City Council unanimously approved Tuesday, calling on the state to release the money.

Hock said the resolution could be a first step if Joliet ever decides to sue the state of Illinois for the money. But he said the city should try to avoid such action.

“We need to get along with the state,” Hock said, noting the city and state work together on projects and a legal battle could damage the relationship. “It would be much better to have a cooperative agreement with the state.”

The state is holding local shares of casino, video gaming, fuel and 911 taxes. Typically, the local revenue goes to the state, which then sends it on to cities, counties and townships.

But Rauner and legislators have said the money cannot be

distributed without a budget that authorizes the spending.

“We don’t believe that they have a legal basis for holding it [the casino money],” Hock told the council. “There isn’t an appropriation that’s required because the money has already been remitted to them by the casinos.”

Councilman Larry Hug suggested Joliet and other casino towns may have to go to court to get the money.

Hock said if the dispute leads to legal action, the lawsuit may come through the Illinois Municipal League, a local government association, to avoid putting individual municipalities at odds with the state.

The Illinois Municipal League in late October said the state at that point had $148 million in gasoline and gambling tax revenue belonging to local governments.

Hock said the city is missing out on roughly $1.5 million a month in casino taxes alone.

The total since July is $6.6 million, according to the resolution passed by the council.

Local officials also worry that the state, facing a budget shortfall, will never distribute the money and use it to pay its own bills.

“My concern,” Councilman John Gerl said, “is that the state will say, ‘Let’s just call it even and not give us anything.’ ”

“It’s not helpful in any way.

SPRINGFIELD — One of few Republicans who voted yes on the Democrat-sponsored House Bill 2482 – a bill that protects people who receive institutional or at-home care while the state develops a new way to measure need – said he believes Gov. Bruce Rauner’s amendatory veto is “reasonable” but needs to be studied.

“I haven’t made a final decision yet, but it seems wholly reasonable,” said Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield.

Lawmakers in both the House and Senate are scheduled to return to Springfield on Tuesday for a session, but it’s unclear if the Legislature will attempt an override or allow Rauner’s amendatory veto to stand.

The amendatory veto essentially cuts back on institutional care available to seniors and people with disabilities.

In his amendatory veto message to lawmakers Friday, Rauner wrote that House Bill 2482, “while well-intentioned,” takes a step in the wrong direction by locking into statute that an individual with a determination-of-need score of 29 or higher would be eligible for both institutional and homeand community-based longterm care services.

Rauner changed the language so an individual with a particular score would be eligible for either institutional

care or community-based care, not both.

“For too long, Illinois has over-prescribed institutional care to lower-need individuals when less-expensive and-more appropriate care options are available,” Rauner said in a memo. “In order to provide the best particular care for each individual, to ensure that our support services remain affordable, and to maximize the number of individuals served, we must rebalance the services being provided with greater precision.”

But supporters of House Bill 2482 say the bill, as drafted, protects people who are getting assistance now by not cutting them off with new, more stringent assessment standards.

The impact of Rauner’s amendatory veto has yet to be determined, said Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet. He said he voted for the bill after hearing from local constituents about the negative impacts of losing these services because of new determination-of-need assessments.

“I heard repeatedly from the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living, and I respect the experience of the staff and those living with disabilities,” McGuire said.

Rep. Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, said she voted no on HB 2482 because it asks people to fund programs without the context of the entire state’s fiscal demands. McDermed said she is supportive of the Republican governor’s amen-

Minooka board eyes busing fewer students

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – With expenses exceeding revenues and an increasing budget deficit that is quickly eating away at reserves, Minooka Community High School continues to explore new ways to reduce spending and increase income.

Chief School Business Official John Troy outlined at Thursday’s school board meeting two plans that could save money.

One involves discontinuing bus transportation to students who live within 1½ miles of South Campus for the 2016-17 school year. If approved, the move could save the district “significant money,” Troy said, by ending bus pickup for some 170 students.

When the school first opened, there were fewer sidewalks and safe routes of passage from nearby neighborhoods, and the campus offered bus transportation to all students.

Today, Troy said, there are more sidewalks and traffic signals, making walking and biking to school a safe alternative for many. The state requires schools provide bus transportation to students who live more than 1½ miles from their schools, unless there are particular dangers. The state reimburses school districts for transportation provided to students living inside that 1½mile window when their commute to school is classified as “hazardous.”

Troy presented six nearby routes to the board that may qualify as hazardous routes,

including sites along McKinley Woods Road and a small portion of Bell Road. The board could consider the matter at its next meeting.

Troy also presented packets to board members containing details about how switching the district’s phone service to a Voice over Internet Protocol, or VOIP, system to reduce expenses. “We should see substantial savings and improved efficiency,” Troy said of converting to VOIP. Troy said members will learn more about the proposal from a presentation at the next board meeting.

The school board also approved new board goals for the school year, although there were questions about one of the financial goals.

Lori Lakota asked if the target of achieving a 1.06 ratio of expenses to revenues was the best the district could do. Lakota said she was concerned about the district’s continuing deficit. The school’s current expense to revenue ratio is 1.073.

“I think we can do a little better than 1.06,” she said.

“I think 1.06 is aggressive,” Interim Superintendent Jim Blanche replied. “To keep it at 1.06, that’s going to be a high bar.”

Blanche said teachers just received a pay increase, and with more than half of the budget going to teachers’ salaries, it would be difficult to reduce expenses even more.

“We can’t fix this thing in one year,” Troy said of the deficit.

Members unanimously approved the measure.

Lewis University, Will County partner to hold two-day pumpkin composting event

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Angie Pace of Crest Hill said she seriously considered making homemade pie this year with her leftover Halloween pumpkin decorations.

But her husband, Tom Pace, was quick to step in.

“She wanted to make pumpkin pie, and I said, ‘Why bother?’ Just go to Costco and get a pumpkin pie. Better yet, you should make some brownies,” Pace recalled the couple’s playful conversation.

That’s how the couple ended up Friday morning at Lewis University in Romeoville to toss their used pumpkins into a garbage bin at the second annual Pumpkin Pitch event.

The two-day event, held Friday and Saturday, was hosted

by Lewis University and the Will County Land Use Depart-

ment’s Resource Recovery & Energy Division.

“We heard about the event from the neighborhood paper and thought it’d be fun,” Angie Pace said.

Before the Pace family arrived, about a dozen pumpkins had been pitched into the large garbage bin, said Marta Keane, recycling program specialist for the department.

“It’s a lot of fun, but it also raises awareness about the value of food scrap composting,” Keane said.

Jaclyn Boyle, facilities coordinator for sustainability and administration at Lewis University, said students learn about food composting with the help of the university’s year-round composting program.

When students eat in the main dining hall, they have to sort through their waste, Boyle said.

Before the event came to an end, Keane said she hoped more students would come down to bring pumpkins from their dorms to recycle instead of throwing them away and allowing them to end up in a landfill.

Nancy Kuhajda, master gardener coordinator with the University of Illinois Extension Center, said Illinois produces about 95 percent of the country’s processed pumpkins. Will County produces the fifth most pumpkins of any county.

Keane said Lewis University will haul the tossed pumpkins to the Waste Management-operated Willow Ranch compost site in Romeoville.

Last year, the pumpkins were shipped to Christensen Family Farms in Peotone, where they were plowed into the fields for farm applications.

Man gets 9½ years for stalking ex-girlfriend

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man was sentenced Thursday to nineand-a-half years in prison for menacing his former girlfriend and her children.

Ernest D. Morgan, 36, pleaded guilty to aggravated stalking before Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak. Defense attorney Michael Renzi said Morgan made a blind plea in exchange for charges of home invasion and criminal trespassing being dismissed.

On March 18, Helen McMurtry filed an order of protection against Morgan, who she’s had a relationship with for 20 years, according to court records.

When police went to serve the order to Morgan, they found him outside McMurtry’s residence wearing rubber gloves, Will County Assistant

State’s Attorney Jeffrey Tuminello noted.

The following night, Morgan forced his way into the house and broke down a locked bedroom door while McMurtry and her Ernest D. four children Morgan jumped out the window. Morgan was chasing them down the street when they encountered a Will County sheriff’s deputy on patrol, Tuminello said.

McMurtry testified Thursday that she and her children have become fearful to leave the house and do not socialize since the incident.

Before Bertani-Tomczak decided the sentence length, Morgan apologized and said his actions were a result of a lifelong drug addiction.

cards with fake credit card

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Police say a Michigan man bought thousands of dollars in Meijer gift cards with a bogus credit card.

Bolingbrook Police Lt. Carter Larry said Meijer security called police to the store at 755 E. Boughton Road at 10:24 p.m. Nov. 1 and officers arrived to see Matthew A. Fultz, 23, buying items at a selfserve register.

“Officers recovered eight gift cards with a receipt for each that had been purchased, and 14 gift cards in a separate bag which had the purchase labels removed, along with three bottles of water and two packages of baby bibs,” Larry said.

Employees also found a bag containing 46 other gift cards which had not been opened or tampered with under the register Fultz had been using

when police arrived, Larry said. The card values totaled approximately $13,000.

Larry said security personnel told police the same bank card number had been used to make purchases at stores in Homer Glen, Berwyn, Melrose Park and Schaumburg, Matthew “with total A. Fultz losses possibly approaching $30,000 on gift cards.”

Fultz, of Farmington Hills, was charged with eight counts of fraud, 14 counts of attempted fraud, 22 counts of unlawful use of a credit card, eight counts of unauthorized use of a credit card and one count of participating in a continuing financial crimes enterprise.

Fultz was released from the Will County Jail on Tuesday after posting $250,000 bond.

About 4 p.m. the bus was near the intersection of McDonough Street and Houboult Road when the rear passenger window was hit, according to Chief Brian Benton.

No students were on the bus, and no one was injured, Benton said in a statement.

Joliet police have seen several similar BB gun shootings in the area over the past week, according to Benton.

with three counts of first-degree murder in the Sept. 5 shooting death of 23-year-old Plainfield resident Derrick Page, according to the release.

The charges resulted from interviews of dozens of people who were at the party where the shooting took place, as well as evidence at the scene, authorities said.

West was charged by the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office in early October, and an arrest warrant was issued Oct. 14. But the release stated West fled to Virginia. So the charges were sealed until he was

On Nov. 3, West was arrested by Will County sheriff’s deputies on charges of shoplifting and burglary.

He is being held in the Will County jail, according to the release.

About 12:45 a.m. Sept. 5, Page was at a large party in a rental hall in the 600 block of North Lake Street. A disturbance in the building led attendees in the hall to run out of the building toward Illinois Avenue and across Lake Street.

However, a fight broke out on the east side of Lake

Street, and at least one shot was fired, striking Page in the head, according to the release, which stated Page was seemingly coming to the aid of a friend involved in the fight.

Page initially was treated at an Aurora hospital before being airlifted to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, where he died at 9:41 a.m. Sept. 6.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is encouraged to call the Aurora Police Department at 630-256-5500 or Aurora Area Crime Stoppers at 630-892-1000.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Representatives from Laborer’s Local 75 were on hand Friday at the former Rockwell Inn in Morris to picket the construction site and Mosaic Construction LLC, which has been hired as general contractors.

“We contacted the general contractors, Mosaic, and asked if some of the work would be done by union contractors.

They said it wouldn’t,” said Mike Serena, president of Local 75. “We have good people in Morris who can do the work and who are union.”

The former restaurant is the site of a medical marijuana dispensary to be run

Morris council to vote on Lisbon Road upgrades, other measures

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris Street and Alley Committee recommended Thursday that City Council approve three ordinances at its Nov. 16 meeting.

Perhaps the most significant in the near future involves further improvements along the roadway north and south of the Lisbon Road bridge, which crosses Interstate 80.

If approved by City Council, “D” Construction will expand on the Illinois Department of Transportation’s bridge project by extending curbs and gutters, pavement and a sidewalk from Gore Road north of the interstate, south to the radius of Candlelight Lane/Boulder Drive.

The bridge project, which is on track and nearing completion, includes 15-foot-wide lanes, up from the former 11 feet. The previously outdated bridge did not have a side-

“We want to be local as much as we can,” he said.

walk, which forced bicyclists and pedestrians to cross it within the vehicle lanes.

Alderman Don Hansen said Friday the addition would tie in nicely with the state’s project and allow nonmotorists to travel across the bridge safely with a continuous sidewalk.

“Fields of Saratoga residents should feel more connected to the city, and it’d be a big plus for pedestrians and bicyclists,” Hansen said.

There’s also the added bonus of all equipment and detours already being in place.

There was no bidding process because “D” Construction already is mobilized on-site and can provide the lowest rate, Mayor Richard Kopczick said.

The city will amend this year’s budget to add the $175,000 expenditure.

The money is in the city’s fund; the project just wasn’t planned for when the budget was created, Kopczick said.

City council also is set Nov.

16 to consider whether to join the Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network program, along with about 230 other municipalities. Hansen said joining can be a great benefit regionally, especially considering the tornadoes that have hit the area in recent years.

Hansen said the network fast tracks the public works decision-making process when municipalities need assistance from others.

The committee also recommended council approve twohour parking regulations on Brentwood Drive adjacent to the Morris Business & Technology Center on Route 47.

Hansen said the owner requested one-hour parking, but Hansen suggested two hours.

“I’m looking at it as a trial,” Hansen said. “[If it passes], we can see how it looks in a year.”

He said the owner plans to add pedestrian ramps because a significant number of visitors to the building are medical patients.

Health officials: 70 suspected sick from apple cider

PITTSFIELD – Health officials in two western Illinois counties said the count of people with suspected illness linked to apple cider has risen to 70.

The Quincy Herald-Whig reported that’s the updated tally from the health departments of Pike and Adams county.

The departments are investigating gastrointestinal symptoms among people who drank cider during a fall festival called the Pike County Color Drive.

Officials are testing for E. coli bacteria and a microscopic parasite called cryptosporidium. The Illinois Department of Public Health is assisting with the investigation.

The fall festival was held Oct. 17 and 18 at several locations in Pike County.

People who purchased apple cider from vendors at the festival are encouraged to contact a local health department so the product can be tested.

Third of Chicago workers take home $100K or more

CHICAGO – A published report said nearly one in three City of Chicago workers made $100,000 or more last year.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that’s a far higher proportion making six-figures than in state or Cook County government.

The newspaper’s analysis combined salaries, overtime and other extra pay.

The newspaper found 26 city workers made more than Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s pay of $216,000. Those employees include a police detective, two fire department ambulance commanders and two water department operating engineers.

The payments to 35,761 city employees totaled $2.93 billion in 2014. The city spent nearly $241 million of that on

overtime.

The Sun-Times said the mayor’s office took months to release the payment information and only after the newspaper appealed to the Illinois attorney general’s office.

Owners of vacant asbestos site face $500-a-day penalty

EAST ST. LOUIS – A St. Louis man faces federal sentencing early next year now that he’s admitted in court that he played a role in the robbery of two southwestern Illinois banks.

Fifty-three-year-old Marc Miller pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of bank robbery.

He was ordered to remain held without bond, pending sentencing scheduled for Feb. 22.

Authorities said Miller helped a co-defendant in robbing two US Bank branches in Schnucks grocery stores – one in Edwardsville on Jan. 28, the other in Fairview Heights on Feb. 10.

Prosecutors said Miller let the co-defendant use Miller’s vehicle during the holdups and

CHICAGO – State regulators have ordered the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to respond to proposed regulations on coal ash ponds.

The Pollution Control Board denied a request on Friday to postpone considering new rules for the retention ponds where electric-generating power plants dispose of ash.

IEPA must answer Pollution Control Board questions about coal-ash pond regulation – including federal rules that took effect last month – by March 2016.

IEPA had asked the board to postpone rulemaking because of expected legal and legislative responses to the federal rules. The U.S. EPA’s rules govern construction and maintenance of the ponds to prevent failure and leakage of toxic materials, location of the ponds to protect groundwater, monitoring and record-keeping.

Missouri man pleads guilty to 2 Illinois bank robberies

SPRINGFIELD – Owners of a vacant mill on Springfield’s northeast side face a $500-a-day penalty dating back two months for not dealing with asbestos on the site.

Sangamon County Circuit Judge John Madonia held the owners of P. Mills LLC, Midwest Demolition Co. and Joey Chernis of Midwest Demolition in civil contempt for failing to hire a company to clean up the asbestos and secure the property from outsiders.

Chernis is also a partner in P. Mills, which owns the 18-acre site abandoned in 2001. He told The State Journal-Register the firms cannot afford the cleanup the state demands.

The Illinois attorney general’s office filed a lawsuit in August claiming inspectors found “substantial danger” to the public at the site.

A status hearing is set for Dec. 7.

Derrick Stafford, 32, of Mansura, and Norris Greenhouse Jr., 23, of Marksville, each faced charges of second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder. They were being held in the Avoyelles Parish jail.

The dead child was 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis, who was in a car being driven Tuesday by his father, Chris Few. Both officrers, who work as full-time officers elsewhere, were working part-time as deputy marshals when Tuesday’s shooting broke out, state police said. State police said there so far has been no evidence found that Few had a gun.

Plan to close Guantanamo expected in coming week

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon’s plan outlining the longstalled effort to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, expected in the coming week, includes details suggesting that the Centennial Correctional Facility in Colorado is one suitable site to send detainees whom officials believe should never be released, administration officials said.

The plan represents a lastgasp effort by the Obama administration to convince

According to administration officials, the plan makes no recommendations on which of seven U.S. sites is preferred and provides no rankings. But it lists the prison sites in Colorado, South Carolina and Kansas that a Pentagon assessment team reviewed in recent months and mentions advantages and disadvantages for the facilities.

Sierra Leone declared free of Ebola; Guinea struggles

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone – Cheers erupted and people danced in the streets Saturday as Sierra Leone marked the end of the Ebola outbreak within its borders, although neighboring Guinea still struggles to stamp out the deadly virus that has killed more than 11,000 mostly in West Africa.

Nearly 4,000 people have died in Sierra Leone of Ebola since the outbreak began in late 2013.

The World Health Organization said 42 days have passed since the country’s last confirmed Ebola patient was discharged on Sept. 25 after two consecutive negative test results.

Hundreds celebrated in the streets of the capital, Freetown, when a Sierra Leone representative for the World Health Organization declared the end of the Ebola outbreak.

An Egyptian policeman checks a Russian tourist’s passport Saturday at the main entrance to the Sharm el-Sheikh airport in Egypt.

Noise heard in last second of Russian jet’s cockpit recording

By MARAM MAZEN and NOUR YOUSSEF The Associated Press CAIRO – A noise was heard in the last second of the cockpit voice recording from the Russian plane that crashed last week in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, the head of the joint investigation team said Saturday. The statement bolstered U.S. and British suspicions that the plane was brought down by a bomb.

However, Ayman el-Muqadem warned it was too early to say what caused the plane to apparently break up in mid-flight. Analysis of the noise was underway.

“All scenarios are being considered ... it could be lithium batteries in the luggage of one of the passengers, it could be an explosion in the fuel tank, it could be fatigue in the body of the aircraft, it could be the explosion of something,” said El-Muqadem, who is Egyptian and leading the investigation committee that includes experts from Russia, France, Germany and Ireland, where the plane was

registered. El-Muqadem appeared alone at the news conference in Cairo.

U.S. and British officials have cited intelligence reports as indicating that the Oct. 31 flight from the Sinai resort town of Sharm elSheikh to St. Petersburg was brought down by a bomb on board. All 224 people onboard, most of them Russian tourists, were killed.

Islamic State extremists claimed they brought down the Metrojet flight, without offering proof, saying it was in retaliation for Moscow’s airstrikes that began a month earlier against fighters in Syria.

El-Muqadem said debris was found scattered across a 13-kilometer (8-mile) stretch of desert, indicating the Airbus A321-200 broke up midair, but initial observations don’t shed light on what caused it. Some pieces of wreckage were still missing, while the recovered pieces will be taken to Cairo for analysis, he said.

Egyptian airport and security officials told The Associ-

ated Press on Saturday that authorities were questioning airport staff and ground crew who worked on the plane and had placed some employees under surveillance.

Also Saturday, Egypt’s foreign minister complained that Western governments had not sufficiently helped Egypt in its war on terrorism.

Egypt’s past calls for assistance and coordination on terrorism issues from “the countries that are now facing the danger” had not been dealt with seriously, Sameh Shoukry told a news conference.

Egyptian authorities have been trying to whip up support for a war on terror after the military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013. A crackdown on Islamists and a series of militant attacks on security buildings and checkpoints, mainly in the Sinai Peninsula, have followed Morsi’s ouster — with a Sinai-based affiliate of the Islamic State group claiming responsibility for some of the most devastating attacks.

City: Build train station now • FUNDING

Continued from page 2 over budget that there would not be enough money left for a bus station.

City, state and regional transportation officials have met to try to resolve the funding dilemma. The city has proposed building the train station now and the bus station later when funds become available. The state has rejected that option.

Both projects could open sometime in 2017, which had previously been the targeted year for opening, if the funding is found, Lisa Dorothy, project manager for the city of Joliet, said Friday.

“It has to get resolved, and we’re going to have to really push,” Dorothy said.

One project that could yet be done in early winter is setting up sheet pilings along the railroad embankment, a job that will be needed to protect that area once construction starts, Dorothy said.

“There is work that we would like to do this winter if possible,” she said.

City Manager Jim Hock gave the City Council an update Tuesday on recent talks with state and regional transportation officials.

“We’re working together to try to leverage resources for funding,” Hock said. “We’ll know more in two weeks.”

The transportation center, originally budgeted for $42 million, is now at $49.7 million.

“They are being pushed, and they’re being pushed hard.”

Bob O’Dekirk Joliet mayor The state, which has funded $30 million of the project, must sign off on bids before they are awarded and wants Joliet to put in more money to build both the train and bus stations, Hock said.

“They’re asking us for $5 million before they award the train station and platform bid,” Hock said. “The mayor and I are telling them we don’t have $5 million.”

Hock said there is enough money available to build the train station and a new commuter platform for the Heritage Corridor line. The bus station contract has not yet been put out to bid.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk also was at the meeting, which included Illinois Department of Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn, top Metra and Pace officials, and local legislators.

O’Dekirk commended state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, and state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, for their support of the city in the talks.

“I felt ultimately they are going to release the funds,” O’Dekirk said. “They are being pushed, and they’re being pushed hard.”

Hymn of the Republic.”

The ceremony also recognized Hispanic veterans in a video presentation. ROTC Cadet Captain Yessenia Viveros created the video. Joliet resident Sator Sanchez, who served in the U.S. Air Force, was recognized in the ceremony. A Joliet elementary school was named after him.

After the ceremony, visitors met with veterans at a re-

ception and panel discussion.

Teacher Terry Piazza said at the ceremony he’s “simply a grateful American.”

He said he never had worn a military uniform, been wounded in battle or left his family for months and years to “travel across the world to fight for and defend my country.”

“I never put on combat boots, shot at an enemy or held a dying friend. I have no idea what any of you have experienced, your bravery, your suffering, your survival,” he said.

Bonds, corporate bonds, are not the way to go Dear Mr. Berko: I’m 57 and have $129,000 in cash in my IRA. My broker suggested that I invest in five different $25,000 pieces of A-rated corporate bonds with 20-year maturities that would yield 4.0 percent. He said he won’t add a commission on the price I pay for these bonds.

This $129,000 is a little less than half my IRA value and the other half is invested in an index annuity. The five different bonds will cost me a total of $124,325. This looks safe because each of the bonds is rated A and the income is guaranteed. I’ve enclosed this list for your comments. – SK, Buffalo, N.Y. Dear SK: Don’t you dare!

At age 57, you’ll be dumber than a two-tailed wombat investing $124,325 in five $25,000 face value bonds with a 20-year maturity, yielding about 4.0 percent. Bonds, even well-rated bonds, are a lousy investment for most civilians,

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko including you. But they’re wonderful investments to sell because the huge hidden commission gives him a nice payday.

Your brokster is right. He won’t add a commission to the price you pay for those bonds because the commission is included in the “price you pay.” This mountebank ought to be pilloried, painted yellow, and flogged for this greedy and unsuitable recommendation. I also recommend that his tongue be spliced by an incompetent surgeon! If you buy those issues, you’ll pay a substantial and hidden fee; sometimes as high as 4 percent of the bonds’ face value.

Those bonds are part of your broker’s trading inventory so the price to you is “marked-

up” three to four points. And since the commission is “hidden” or added to his firm’s cost of the bond, you could be paying as much as $5,000 and never know it.

That is unless you have the ability to call another broker and compare prices. And if you do, you’ll be mad as heck, as well as “gabberflasted.” I checked those five bonds with a Merrill trader I’ve known for years, and suffice it to say, a Merrill customer can buy the same bonds for about $121,000, including commissions. And that should be an important difference to you. It also suggests that your broker is a crook and the brokerage that employs him endorses his selling tactics.

If you buy those five different corporate bonds with a 4 percent yield, you should get checks every six months for $2,500. Those 40 interest payments of $2,500 over 20 years are carved in stone

and never change. And when those bonds come due in 20 years, you’ll have received $100,000 in interest income plus the $125,000 face value of those bonds.

And while those years pass slowly, you may note that the prices of prosciutto, peaches, pasta, Pringles, pizza, plums and pickles have doubled in price. And when you’re 77, you may also realize that your 20-year $124,325 investment has suffered from the inflation disease and will only buy you about $70,000 worth of parmesan, pita, pears, pumpkins and Pierogies. Not good, that.

Consider owning issues like American Telephone, Southern Company, HCP Inc., W. P. Carey, Chevron and others that have current dividend yields of 5 percent or more and have increased those dividends on a regular basis for years on end. I’ve been preaching this philosophy to readers for over 40

years. Invest $125,000 in this five-issue stock portfolio yielding 5.4 percent and earn $6,750 in dividend income the first year, which is 35 percent better than $5,000 in annual bond interest. And if those five issues increase their dividends over 20 years by a meager 2 percent annually, your cumulative stock dividends will have grown to $160,000 annually versus $100,000 in bond interest.

So with dividends growing at 2 percent annually, on the 20th year those five stocks pay you over $10,000 in dividend income versus just $5,000 from the five bonds. And the future value of these five income/ growth stocks could reasonably double to $250,000 by the year 2035, when you’re 77.

Manley visits Joliet bank to discuss needs of employers

NEW LENOX – The New Lenox Chamber of Commerce helped Rosati’s Pizza, 108 W. Illinois Highway, celebrate its third anniversary in the village with an anniversary ribbon cutting.

Owner Shawna Casey was joined by her staff, Chamber executives and ambassadors, as well as representatives from the general membership, to commemorate the event on Oct. 1 with a ribbon cutting.

Chamber President Lisa Kline presented Shawna with a certificate from the Board of Directors and Mayor Tim Baldermann congratulated Rosati’s on its success and thanked the business for choosing New Lenox.

Manley’s visit was part of the Illinois Bankers Association “Banker for a Day” program. Manley regularly walks doorto-door and visits local businesses in order to talk directly with local residents

and hear a variety of perspectives on major issues facing the state.

ComEd’s investments in Smart Grid helping Lockport

CHICAGO – Reflecting the impact of Smart Grid and system improvement work across northern Illinois since 2012, ComEd released data in October showing that residents and businesses in Lockport have seen a 48 percent decrease in outage frequency and a 31 percent decrease in the duration of outages in 2014.

Nearly 1,000 customer interruptions were avoided in Lockport thanks to distribution automation, or smart switches, which reroutes power around trouble spots, according to a news release from ComEd. Through investments in smart switches, storm hardening and vegetation management solutions, and cable replacement, as well as other system improvement programs, more than 5 million customer interruptions have been avoided in Illinois since 2012, the news release said.

OUR VIEW

Let’s not ‘fall back’ again Americans are tired of craving lunch at 11 a.m. and being awakened at 5 a.m. by their children when we “fall back.”

We’re sick of being tired for days after staying up too late when we “spring forward.” (In fact, studies show this artificially induced fatigue is not only inconvenient but also leads to upticks in fatal auto accidents and heart attacks.)

Unlike a lot of things, this is one problem that the federal government can fix any time it chooses, in part because the government created the situation in the first place.

That’s right: It’s time to end the practice of manipulating our nation’s clocks – and messing with its sleep schedules – twice a year.

At least one recent poll show that only about one-third of Americans see the point in continuing with this exercise.

As it stands, we’re only using standard time five months out of the year. We should stop altogether, and make daylight saving time the only time we ever use in all 50 U.S. states and the various territories.

Contrary to popular belief, daylight saving time has nothing to do with farmers, who, you’ve probably noticed, will get out and harvest their crops whether it’s dark or not.

Daylight saving time was first put into practice during World War I, with the idea of saving fuel for the war effort. It was used year-round in the U.S. from 1942 to 1945, and returned for good in 1966.

In addition to energy savings, moving the clock ahead in the spring gives people more daylight time in the evening they can use for recreational activities, shopping and other beneficial activities.

That sounds just fine. If everyone prefers daylight saving time, let’s just keep it in place all year round.

Let’s end the 20th century practice of giving most of America artificial jet lag. In 2016, let’s spring forward one last time – and then never change our clocks again.

New Speaker of the House, same old excuse Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin is the new speaker of the House of Representatives. Ryan, Mitt Romney’s running mate in 2012, is young (45), very conservative and did not want the speaker’s job. But he took it anyway.

Ryan has his contradictions. He was a fan of the Russian-born novelist Ayn Rand, whose works celebrated self-centered capitalism. He told her followers on her 100th birthday in 2005 that she shaped his values. But, when he ran for vice president, Ryan denied his Ayn Rand discipleship as “urban legend.”

As a congressman Ryan advocated being close and open with “the people.” Yet, in the summer of 2011, Ryan phoned in his town hall meetings, and when he chose to appear in person, the attendees were charged a $15 admission fee. I wonder how that went over with his constituents?

But Ryan’s contradictions, like those of others, are part of the whole package, and they carried over into his first public appearances as speaker. The night before his initial press conference, Ryan told radio host

VIEWS Donna Brazile Hugh Hewitt, “If you don’t like the direction the country is going – which we don’t – then we [need to show] how we would do things differently.”

The next morning, Ryan said, “We don’t believe that the country is headed in the wrong direction ... we think the president is leading it in the wrong direction.” Ryan added: “We feel that we have an obligation ... to get things fixed.”

In less than 12 hours, Ryan not only contradicted himself as to whether or not Republicans liked the direction the country was going, he also contravened his promise to “do things differently” and “to get things fixed.”

At the same press conference, the new speaker took immigration reform off the table until President Obama has left office. That means no immigration reform until at least

2017. Now, the last major immigration reform was almost 30 years ago, in 1986. Ryan has no reason to follow in the footsteps of former President Ronald Reagan.

And while Iowa Republicans and Democrats don’t agree on what issues are important, according to a recent Bloomberg/Des Moines Register poll, they do agree on two issues: immigration and job creation. In New Hampshire, candidates, journalists and columnists all say immigration is the earliest and most frequent topic voters bring up. But the candidates, especially on the GOP side, won’t touch it.

The Republicans know immigration is important; certainly Donald Trump does – he’s built his campaign on exploiting anti-immigrant feelings. Former Speaker John Boehner knows its importance. He said immigration reform “needs to be fixed,” and Ryan echoed him with “getting things fixed.”

Hopeful and wary about meeting with governor, leaders

To the Editor: Gov. Bruce Rauner and the four legislative leaders are set to meet Nov. 18. We are in our fifth month without a budget and yet this is the first meeting between the state leaders in months.

That is not to say that efforts haven’t been made towards solutions. State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Woodstock, has proposed a two-year budget to give much-needed stability to health and human service

providers, taxpayers and job creators alike.

Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield, has proposed a series of hearings on how the state could potentially approach a lump sum pension or partial pension exchange option as a method to ease the pension crisis.

Both of these proposals have yet to receive consideration by the House, remaining bottled up by Speaker Michael Madigan. On the House floor, I’ve appealed for a bipartisan approach to evaluate each program’s funding as a part of a larger process of setting spending priorities.

However, bipartisan efforts from the rank and file to move the ball forward have thus far been stymied.

I would welcome an opportunity to debate every proposed solution to the state’s budget challenges on the House floor or in committee in an open and honest fashion. The House is back in session Nov. 10, but if it’s anything like the past several months, no meaningful solutions will be considered or serious negotiations held on reforms to resolve this impasse.

I’m hopeful that the Nov. 18 meeting will jump start much-needed discussions on setting budget priorities and business reforms, which will ultimately help expand our tax base. I am optimistic because the rank and file members of the General Assembly on both sides of the aisle realize this, and real solutions have been put forward. I’m hopeful that all parties involved will make a bi-partisan balanced budget our shared priority.

However, I’m wary because in spite of

the sincere attempts at finding common ground among legislators on both sides of the aisle and all of the concessions made by Rauner toward reaching compromise, Madigan remains unmoved.

For the sake of a productive meeting, restoring opportunity and growth to Illinois, and taking vulnerable children and families out of the political crossfire in Springfield, I’m calling on Speaker Madigan to come to the table Nov. 18 in a true spirit of compromise.

Dear Editor, How can the city of Joliet buy a housing complex for $15 million but doesn’t have enough money to finish the downtown rail and bus terminal?

tives is supposed to be closest to the American people. Yet the truth is, for the past five years, Congress has been closest to a minority in the Republican Party.

Making it worse, in order to win the presidency, the GOP must increase its support among Hispanics and others.

To become speaker, albeit reluctantly, Ryan had to agree with some of the demands of the small, but powerful House Freedom Caucus to ditch any plans to work with the Senate or the president on one of the country’s longest-standing and unaddressed problems:

comprehensive immigration reform.

Less than a week on the job, Ryan has promised zero cooperation with the president, pledged to ditch immigration reform, refused to rule out more government shutdowns, and laid blame for Republicans’ nonperformance on the bad man in the White House. I wonder what he will rule out next month.

Paul Ryan is a good and decent man. We know that this was not the job he wanted.

He’s a policy wonk, a workhorse. But for now, he’s in charge of running the House and is one of Congress’ most

influential leaders on tax policies.

It’s been more than two and a half year since the president and Ryan have met face to face. With all the big issues still looming, including the budget, it’s time to schedule a sit-down discussion.

Hopefully, something good will come out of such a meeting. It’s long overdue.

FOOTBALL – CLASS 5A SECOND ROUND: JOLIET CATHOLIC 47, MARIAN CENTRAL 15

Hilltoppers roll into quarterfinals JCA dominates Marian at line of scrimmage

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Before the high school football season began, Joliet Catholic coach Dan Sharp said the key to the Hilltoppers’ success would be the line play, on both sides of the ball.

“Both lines today showed why I said that’s the strength of this team,” Sharp said Saturday afternoon after the Hilltoppers rolled over Marian Central, 47-15, in Round 2 of the Class 5A state playoffs at ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

Next up for JCA (10-1) is a quarterfinal battle next weekend at Nazareth. Marian Central (8-3), coached by ex-JCA all-stater and assistant coach Mike Maloney, also dropped a 41-3 decision to the Hilltoppers in a Week 5 East Suburban Catholic encounter.

The Hilltoppers established their dominance along the line of scrimmage early and never backed down. They led, 27-0, at halftime and were up 33-0 in the third quarter before Marian Central got on the board.

JCA rushed for 265 yards, with Michael Johnson gaining 148 and Ke’Von Johnson 107.

Both ran for three touchdowns.

Quarterback Cade Earl was on the money, completing 7 of 9 passes in a stiff wind for 110 yards. Michael Johnson and Harry Davis each caught three for 49 yards. Two screen passes to Michael Johnson allowed JCA to overcome third-andlong situations.

“We had that confrontation with them [Hurricanes] in midseason,” Michael Johnson said of his spirited running. “We let them know right away that we weren’t out here to play games.

“In the first quarter, I ran the ball up the middle and almost every time our big guys up front cleared everything

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Joliet Catholic’s defense drags Marian Central’s J.R. Budmayr to the ground Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Joliet. The Hilltoppers beat the Hurricanes, 47-15. out.”

One by one, Johnson complimented the alignment of Tyler Witt, Ze’Veyon Furcron, Ricky Fleming, Shane Raber and Ethan Emerson from tackle to tackle.

“We hadn’t been at our best the last couple of weeks,” Witt said of the line. “We had a really tough week of practice, and we made a huge improvement today.”

Sharp took it a step further.

“Mike [Johnson] is such a threat inside, and when we put our bruiser [Josh Parenti] in there at fullback in the second half, he made some terrific blocks,” he said.

“And our tight ends, [Colin] O’Brien and [Jake] Kinsella, they are our unsung heroes.

They don’t get a lot of notoriety, but they have been doing some outstanding blocking.”

Michael Johnson said the Hilltoppers were prepared for every defensive adjustment Marian Central attempted.

“When they shifted over, we knew what play to run,” he said. “We were mentally focused on what we had to do.”

On the other side of the ball, ends Zach Lukasik and Luke Mander, tackle Ken Aguirre and the Witt/Furcron tandem at the adjacent tackle were equally dominant.

Marian Central’s Emitt Peisert entered with 1,657 rushing yards but managed to scratch out only about 150 total in two meetings with the Hilltoppers.

On Saturday, Peisert closed with 96 on 17 carries, but 37 came on one third-quarter run when JCA already had the game in hand. Hurricanes quarterback J.R. Budmayr

completed 15 of 32 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns.

But again, any damage was done after things were decided.

“Being able to take away their running game was huge,” Witt said. “Jaws [defensive coordinator Jake Jaworski] did a great job preparing us.”

Marian Central tried to pound the ball against JCA in the earlier meeting, but to no avail. This time the Hurricanes ran a spread, but again, with little success.

“That’s the genius, the intelligence, of coach Jaworski,” Sharp said. “He does a great job preparing a defense for a spread attack. He was ready for it.”

In addition to limiting the Hurricanes to 81 yards in the first half, 256 for the game and 14 first downs, the Hilltoppers also had three takeaways in the

second quarter.

Cornerback Riley O’Donnell came up with his third interception of the playoffs, and that led to the touchdown that made it 20-0 in the second quarter.

Lukasik hit Budmayr as he was trying to throw a pass into the flat. It went backward for a lateral and Mander recovered it, leading to the score that made it 27-0.

Then with Marian Central in a first-and-goal at the 2 in the final minute of the half, Budmayr ran a sneak to the 1. He was injured slightly and had to leave for the next play. That was huge because Gavin Scott entered, and he and Peisert could not connect on a handoff.

Lukasik recovered the fumble to end the threat.

It was that kind of an afternoon for the Hilltoppers.

FOOTBALL – CLASS 3A SECOND ROUND: BYRON 42, WILMINGTON 35

Wildcats’ title defense ends in loss to Tigers

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Heading into Friday night’s Class 3A second-round playoff game with Byron, Wilmington coach Jeff Reents expected a brawl.

He got it.

The defending state champion Wildcats and the Tigers from Byron went toe-to-toe for the entire 48 minutes, with Byron delivering the knockout blow on an 80-yard halfback option pass from Jacob Elsbury to Justin Martinez with 7:08 to play.

A two-point conversion run by Avery Carlson put the finishing touch on a 42-35 Byron win that snapped Wilmington’s win streak at 24.

“The offenses went back and forth tonight,” Reents said. “We had some trouble with our run defense, but a lot of that had to do with how good their offense was. You knew with them having all their running backs back from last year that they would run the ball well.”

Bryron (9-2) ran for nearly 400 yards, ripping through a Wilmington defense that had allowed only 14.5 points a game coming into Saturday night.

“They got us up front tonight,” said Reents, a 1988 Morris graduate. “Generally, if we score 35 points, we win the game. But you have to tip your hat to Byron. They played a very good, very physical game and took it to us.”

The Tigers served notice early that their running game would be tough to stop, as Carlson reeled off a 53-yard gain to the Wilmington 4-yard line on the second play from scrimmage. Two plays later, Elsbury scored from 2 yards out and Trevor Koritz’s extra-point kick gave Byron a 7-0 lead. Carlson finished with 157 yards on 27 carries, while Elsbury ran for 200 yards on 15 attempts.

Wilmington answered quickly as Owen Weaver went 69 yards for a touchdown on the Wildcats’ second play from scrimmage and Alex Hatten’s kick tied the game.

Wilmington got the first defensive break of the game on Byron’s next drive, when Tyler Brimer recovered a fumble and returned it to the Tigers’ 38.

Four plays later, quarterback Jeff Treadman hit Steve Smock in the end zone for a 15-yard TD reception and a 14-0 lead.

After Wilmington forced a Byron punt, Weaver, who finished with 235 yards on 19 carries, broke loose for a 38-yard touchdown run to put Wilmington ahead, 21-7.

Byron, however, refused to go away and embarked on a 16-play, 68-yard drive that included two fourth-down conversions and ended with a 14-yard TD run by Martinez.

Wilmington went ahead 2814 late in the second quarter on a 14-yard TD pass from Treadman to Sam Jones with 1:50 to

go until halftime, but Elsbury broke loose for a 58-yard run to the Wilmington 6-yard line on a third-and-6 play. Carlson scored from a yard out with 4.5 seconds until halftime to make it 28-21.

“That touchdown right before halftime was a killer,” Reents said. “It gave them some momentum heading into half-

time.”

The Tigers carried that momentum into the second half, forcing Wilmington to punt on the opening drive, then driving 35 yards on seven plays, the last 12 covered by Elsbury, to tie the game at 28 with 6:45 left in the third. After another Wilmington punt, Elsbury went 57 yards for a touchdown, but Wilmington blocked the extra point and the Tigers led, 34-28.

That blocked kick looked like it might loom large when Nick Hawkins (16 carries, 74 yards) scored from 2 yards out and Hatten’s kick gave Wilmington a 35-34 lead. The Wildcats’ John Cox then recovered a fumble at the Tigers’ 23, but Wilmington couldn’t score and Elsbury hit Martinez with the game-winning pass on the ensuing drive.

“They ran the ball well on us all night, then hit us with the big trick play for the win,” Reents said. “It’s going to be tough to see this senior class go.

They won 24 straight games, including a state championship.

A group like that doesn’t come around often.”

FOOTBALL – CLASS 5A SECOND ROUND: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 31, TRIAD 7

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent

Jimmy J. Simmons for Shaw Media

Lincoln-Way West’s Gabriel Montalvo breaks through Triad’s defense Saturday at Triad High School in Troy.

The Warriors defeated the Knights, 31-7.

Connor Lowman (7 for 13, 147 yards, touchdown) started after missing last week’s game against Dunlap with a shoulder injury. He hit Dylan McHale (three catches, 34 yards) twice on the scoring drive.

The Warriors then marched 65 in seven plays to make it 14-0 on a 3-yard Montalvo touchdown. Last week’s hero, junior Cal Pohrte (2 for 4, 27 yards), hit tight end Tom LaBerry for 22 yards on a swing pass to the Triad 3. Montalvo scored on the

next play with 55 seconds left in the first quarter.

On a fourth-and-1 at the Triad 34, Montalvo busted a 34-yard scoring run to give the Warriors a 21-0 lead with 2:09 left in the half.

With 15 seconds on the clock, Warriors linebacker Cortez Michalski separated Triad’s Ethan Scalopek from the ball. Trey Telez scooped up the fumble and raced 40 yards to the Triad 12. On the final play of the half, Kevin Siemeck

kicked a 30-yard field goal for a 24-0 halftime lead. It was Siemeck’s first field goal of the season.

“That is quite a load off me,” Siemeck said. “It really felt good to finally hit one.”

With 8:37 left in the third quarter, Lowman fired a 51yard scoring strike to Jake Mauney to stretch the lead to 31-0. Mauney caught four passes for 85 yards.

“I had a great week of therapy with the shoulder,” Low-

TROY – In Homer’s Iliad, ancient Greek warriors used a Trojan horse to enter and destroy the city-state of Troy.

A gang of present-day Warriors from Lincoln-Way West did not need a Trojan horse to enter the city of Troy, Illinois.

After a four-hour bus ride down Interstate 55, the present-day Warriors stormed onto the field and sacked the Knights, 31-7, in Saturday’s Class 5A second-round game.

Led by their tailback, Gabe Montalvo, Lincoln-Way West (9-2) reached the quarterfinals for the third consecutive year in Class 5A. Montalvo ran through, over and around the Knights for 209 yards on 20 carries and three touchdowns. For good measure, he caught a pair of passes for 35 yards.

“We really came after Triad,” Montalvo said. “We knew they were a good team and ran at them with our strength against their strength. My offensive line was great again, and I was able to read my blocks. And we can always rely on our outstanding defense, which totally shut Triad down.

“I just want to sit back and enjoy this win. We will get back to work Monday.”

West took the opening kickoff and marched 79 yards in five plays, capped by a 56yard Montalvo burst for a 7-0 lead with 10:30 left in the first quarter. Junior quarterback

man said. “It felt fine out there today. We played outstanding on both sides of the ball.

Gabe [Montalvo] and the offensive line were great again, and Dylan [McHale] and Jake [Mauney] made fine catches.”

With 6:18 left in the third quarter, Scalopek raced 21 yards for the Triad touchdown.

Michalski, Telez, Deven Reed and the entire Warriors defense stuffed the Triad triple option. Adam Nelson, a 1,600yard rusher, was held to minus-1 yard on 10 carries.

“We had another great week of practice,” Telez said. “We totally shut down the triple option. The coaches had us well prepared to do the job.

“I should have scored on the fumble recovery. I have to work on my scoop-and-score method.

We want to win next week and do something no Lincoln-Way West team has ever done, win a quarterfinal game.”

“This was a great win for us,” Reed said. “We were always in position to make the play on defense.”

The Warriors will host Peoria (10-1) next Saturday, time to be determined.

“Every win now is a big win,” West coach Dave Ernst said. “Our defense is just so good and so fast and totally shut down a good Triad team.

Again, what can you say about Gabe [Montalvo]. He is a great athlete.

“We really want to win next week. West has never won a quarterfinal game.”

FOOTBALL – CLASS 6A SECOND ROUND: CRETE-MONEE 23, LEMONT 7

Indians can’t overcome early deficit

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Lemont’s football team headed into Saturday’s Class 6A second-round playoff game with CreteMonee looking to add to two impressive runs.

Not only were the Indians looking to qualify for the quarterfinals for the ninth time in 11 years, but they also hoped to reach the 10-win plateau in the same manner.

But those plans quickly came undone against the Warriors, who jumped out to an early 10-0 lead and led throughout before claiming a 23-7 victory.

As a result, Crete-Monee (92) will host Sacred Heart-Griffin next Saturday while Lemont finishes its season with a 9-2 record.

“It’s never easy when a season is over and you feel bad for your seniors who’ve worked so hard,” Lemont coach Bret Kooi said. “You don’t quite know what to say and you sure wish that you had more time with them.

“We couldn’t catch a break.

We had a big pass play and thought we had momentum going, and then it’s called back.

Then we’re hanging in there and we get a fumble on a kickoff to give them the ball back.

Then near the end we get a couple of shots at the end zone.

“I certainly don’t mean to take anything away from them since they’re a very good football team that plays physical and hard. You have to play a pretty clean football game if you’re going to beat them.”

Crete-Monee moved in front for good with 3:10 left in the opening quarter when Carlos Soto kicked a 29-yard field goal, his first of three field goals in the game.

It scored again when quarterback Clint Ratkovich looked like he might get tackled in the backfield, but then broke free for a 90-yard run down the right sideline to make it 10-0 with 1:11 left in the quarter.

Lemont quickly responded,

Lemont’s Jake Kirkman runs against a wall of Crete-Monee defense Saturday in Lemont. The Indians fell to the Warriors, 23-7. however, needing just three plays to cover 49 yards. After Spencer Nagel (6 of 10 passing, 82 yards) found Jeremy Fejedelem (three catches, 86 yards) for a 34-yard strike, Jake Kirkman (19 carries, 74 yards) burst up the middle from 15 yards out to make it 10-7 with 40 seconds left in the opening period.

Crete-Monee went back up by 10 points when Eric Vallot ran 44 yards down the left sideline after taking a direct snap out of punt formation with 10:32 to go in the second quarter.

The Warriors took a 20-7 lead with 41 seconds left in the half when Soto kicked a 30yard field goal. After Lemont fumbled the ensuing kickoff, Soto got another field goal chance and converted from 27 yards out with two seconds remaining before the break.

Despite losing Nagel to an

injury early in the third quarter, Lemont still managed to threaten on three different occasions in the final quarter.

Backup quarterback Chad Barnett did a nice job in a relief role, but was picked off in the end zone and at the Warriors’ 8 while another threat ended on downs at CreteMonee’s 10.

Despite being the recipient of four turnovers, Crete-Monee didn’t help its cause by receiving nearly 170 penalty yards.

Lemont created one turnover in the final quarter, an interception by Joshua Rogers.

Many of the seniors also were on last year’s squad that lost in the state finals, creating high expectations for this season. And their coach was proud of how much better his squad got.

“Obviously with the type of year we had last year, it’s hard to follow a group like

on. And now you think that maybe we can make a run.

But we needed to play a little bit better if we wanted to keep playing.”

FOOTBALL – CLASS 7A SECOND ROUND: LIBERTYVILLE 27, LINCOLN-WAY EAST 17

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Lincoln-Way East’s Kyle Werniak, here intercepting a pass in last week’s 40-6 victory over Jacobs in Round 1 of the Class 7A playoffs, had two more picks against Libertyville standout Riley Lees in Saturday’s second-round game. But it wasn’t enough as the Griffins fell, 27-17. play, 67-yard scoring drive that took 6:21 off the clock. Senior running back Liam Morrissey scored on a 3-yard run to cut the lead to 14-7.

Lees responded by driving the Wildcats 80 yards on their next possession, capping the drive with a 19-yard touchdown pass to receiver Henry Schmidt.

Lincoln-Way East cut the lead to 2114 at halftime when Bauer led an eightplay, 70-yard scoring drive that ended with Bauer finding receiver Logan Winkler over the middle for a 27-yard touchdown pass. The Griffins’ Nick Jenig booted a 25-yard field goal with 8:43 to play in the fourth quarter to pull East

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: MARIAN (IND.) 28, ST. FRANCIS 0

Saints shut out for first time since 2007 SUBMITTED REPORT INDIANAPOLIS – Jakhari Gore rushed for 189 yards and a pair of touchdowns as No. 8-ranked Marian (Ind.) defeated No. 16 University of St. Francis 28-0 in a Mid-States Football Association crossover game Saturday at St. Vincent Health Field.

With its first shutout defeat in 95 games dating back to

the 2007 season, USF fell to 7-3 overall. Marian extended its winning streak to four games and raised its season record to 7-2.

The Knights defeated USF for the fifth time in six games in the series and also might have hurt the Saints’ NAIA playoff hopes.

Marian took the game’s opening possession 74 yards on 12 plays, capped by a 16-

yard touchdown pass from Hayden Northern to Brandon Dillon. Gore scored the first of his two TDs on a 1-yard plunge to cap a 14-play, 69-yard advance at the 9:17 mark of the second quarter.

The score held at 14-0 until midway through the fourth quarter when Northern connected with Krishawn Hogan on a 57-yard scoring strike.

Two plays after forcing a USF

three-and-out, Gore raced 58 yards for his second TD. With 280 yards on the ground and 202 through the air, Marian held a 482-102 advantage in total offense and a 15:06 edge in time of possession.

Northern completed 22 of 29 attempts for 202 yards, connecting with Hogan nine times for 107 yards.

Senior running back John

Magee (Plainfield South) rushed for 68 yards on 16 carries for the Saints, who managed only seven first downs.

USF failed to score for the first time since a 42-0 loss to St. Ambrose on Sept. 29, 2007.

USF concludes its regular season at home next Saturday when it meets MSFA Midwest League foe Olivet Nazarene at 1 p.m. at ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

LIBERTYVILLE – Quarterback Riley Lees threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as Libertyville defeated Lincoln-Way East, 27-17, Saturday in the second round of the Class 7A playoffs.

The Griffins (8-3) trailed the Wildcats (11-0), 21-17, with 4:10 to play before defensive lineman Zach Tencza recovered a Wildcats’ fumble at the Griffins’ 42. East quarterback Brandon Bauer led the Griffins to the Wildcats’ 28-yard line by completing a pass to Brody Bolsoni and carrying the ball four other times.

Then things fell apart.

After running back Nigel Muhammad gained 1 yard to the 27, East was called for a personal foul, which brought the ball back to the Wildcats’ 42. Bauer then was sacked for a 3-yard loss to the 45 on a play in which many East coaches and fans believed he was grabbed by the face mask.

The officials did not call a penalty on the play, so the Griffins faced fourthand-25. Bauer’s pass was incomplete, turning the ball over on downs. The officials then flagged East for unsportsmanlike conduct, which moved the ball to the Griffins’ 40. Lees scored on a 40-yard run on the next play to seal the win.

It was a fitting end for the Northwestern-bound Lees, who opened the game with an 80-yard touchdown pass to Tim Calamari to put the Wildcats ahead, 7-0, just 13 seconds into the game.

The 6-foot-1 senior put Libertyville ahead 14-0 with 7:25 to play in the first quarter when he found Calamari on a 63-yard scoring strike.

The Griffins answered with a 16-

to within 21-17.

“After just an absolutely atrocious start defensively, our offense brought us back and kept us in the game early,” East coach Rob Zvonar said. “It was a one-score game at halftime, and we were blessed to be in that situation.

“We got the field goal to put us in a position where a touchdown could win it, but it just wasn’t in the cards today.

Obviously, there is a tremendous football team over there. Our hats are off to Libertyville and number 6 (Lees) is the real deal.”

Lees completed 14 of 22 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns. He was intercepted twice by Griffins defensive back Kyle Werniak. Lees also rushed for 119 yards.

Bauer did his part to match Lees’ production. He rushed for 77 yards on 21 carries and completed 20 of 32 passes for 201 yards. He threw no interceptions.

“I’m proud of all my guys,” Bauer said. “We fought. We picked the defense up. We executed very well, I thought, but it just didn’t go our way. The linemen did a great job of opening up the holes for me and the running backs.

The receivers did what they were supposed to do.

“It’s the most incredible year I’ve been a part of. It’s heartbreaking now but looking back on it, we had a great season.”

Zvonar echoed his quarterback’s sentiments.

“They’ve left a legacy,” he said.

“They are one of the most tremendous groups on and off the field that we’ve ever had. I feel for our seniors right now. They put so much into this. It’s always tough, especially when you come up here and have an opportunity to win.”

CLASS 3A CHICAGO CHRISTIAN VOLLEYBALL SUPERSECTIONAL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 25-25, DE LASALLE 12-15

Angels making return trip to state finals after thumping De La Salle

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 8, 2015

PALOS HEIGHTS – Joliet Catholic volleyball coach Christine Scheibe said her Angels had so much energy going into the match that nobody could have stopped them Saturday night.

She was right.

JCA (25-12) fired on all cylinders to dominate De La Salle, 25-12, 25-15, in the Class 3A Chicago Christian Supersectional.

The only team standing in Joliet Catholic’s way of a repeat visit to the state championship match is LaSalle-Peru.

The two will battle in the semifinal match 6 p.m. Friday in at Redbird Arena on the Illinois State University campus in Bloomington-Normal.

“We wanted this so badly, and it showed how hard we worked for it this season,” junior outside Taylor Zurliene said. “We proved everyone who doubted us from the beginning that they were wrong.”

Sounds a lot like last season.

This season, however, the Angels have proven to be more well-rounded in their attack.

Zurliene led the way with eight kills, while senior Andriana Acosta came close behind with seven. Senior setters Jessica Simon (nine assists) and Megan Melone (eight assists) distributed the ball very evenly so Megan Cladis (four), Simon (four), Sarah Nahas (three) and Addy Alt (two) were able to put up solid kill numbers.

Despite the stats sheet being relatively even across the board, Acosta seemed to shine. The three-sport athlete had zero hitting errors, a .700 hitting percentage and tallied three blocks. The 5-9 middle wasn’t on the volleyball team last year, but she experienced success at state two years ago with basketball.

This time, Acosta wants to do something big with a different group of girls.

Energy level propels JCA to state

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Joliet Catholic coach Christine Scheibe (center) cheers on her team during Thursday’s win over Morris in the Lincoln-Way West Sectional final.

The Angels won the Chicago Christian Supersectional, beating De La Salle in two sets.

“Basketball was obviously a great experience, but I’m so excited to go to state again for a different sport and with an amazing group of girls,” Acosta said. “We’re such a big family. It’s awesome. I’m so happy to get this experience. They went down last year. To be going down with them again this year is amazing.”

Defensively, senior libero Meghan Harrison anchored JCA with 13 digs. Last year’s libero, Cladis, chipped in 10 and Melone had nine.

Harrison led in digs, but she also was a key reason ath Angels stopped a De La Salle run. The Meteors started Game 2 with a 7-3 lead because Kelly Lewis (six kills) had some big swings that gave

her team some major momentum. Then Harrison’s serving crushed that momentum when she went up to serve, trailing 9-7.

Cladis had a kill, followed by a solo block to tie the game.

Then a Harrison ace, another Cladis kill, followed by a Simon kill and Alt kill, gave JCA all it needed to end the Meteors’ season.

The momentum also gave the Angels a ticket to Normal for the eighth time in 13 years.

JCA has 12 final-four appearances in program history. This could be another group of Angels that play in consecutive state championship match appearances. JCA played in three straight finals from 2008 through 2010.

“This group of seniors have always shown that they’re tough. They always fight and never give up,” Scheibe said.

“With the experience that they had coming back from last year, I just felt that if we got ourselves in the right position and played well at the end of the season, we had that opportunity to come down to state again.”

The only thing standing in JCA’s way is LaSalle Peru, which the Angels have beaten already.

“We beat them in the Pontiac tournament, but we’re not going to take that for granted,” Melone said. “They could come back and be a completely different team.”

JCA knows that story well.

At the beginning of the year, the Angels lost a few matches they wanted back.

More importantly, they just weren’t playing their game.

Similar to last year’s team, they had a turning point. Now, they’re looking for the same outcome.

“In the beginning, it was up and down, but now all we’re doing is going up,” Zurliene said. “We’re really working hard. We lost a couple matches and said, ‘This is it. If we don’t get our stuff together, we’re going to be done soon.’

“I love this group of girls. A lot of the girls are seniors. This is their last year, and we knew that we’d have to work hard to go to state. We don’t want it to end now.”

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY: STATE MEET

Minooka claims Class 3A title

By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media Correspondent PEORIA – Saturday was a historic day for the area at the 37th girls state cross country meet at Detweiller Park.

The Minooka Indians became the first local team to win a girls state cross country title.

Minooka placed three runners in the top 20 to outdistance Naperville North, 132148, for the third team state championship in school history, with the others coming in wrestling and softball.

“Incredible,” Indians coach Kevin Gummerson said. “They wanted it and went out and got it. This is beautiful.”

Ashley Tutt led the way for the Indians with a fourth-place finish in 16:46 to earn her second All-State honor.

The fourth-place finish was the highest area finish in the large class since 2006, when Lockport’s Janna Mitsos placed third. The race winner was Naperville North’s Judy Pendergast, who set a state record winning time of 15:54.

“I’m excited, this means so much for this team,” said Tutt, a junior. “I knew every place counted for team points.”

Emily Shelton, a sophomore, placed 19th (16:59) and Mackenzie Callahan, a junior, was 20th (17:03), both earning All-State status. It was the second honor for Callahan.

“This feels pretty good, tears of joy,” Shelton said. “I went out with Ashley and then I died a little, but I knew I had to finish strong. We have all worked so hard for this, this is special.”

Morgan Crouch, the lone senior among the top seven, placed 60th (17:47).

“I’m so happy,” Crouch said. “Every since my freshman year, all I wanted for this team was to win a trophy (top three). Now we have the best one. Everyone on this team cares so much about everyone else. We were so zoned in today. This is an absolute dream come true.”

“I started a little slower than I should have, and I was just trying to pass as many people as I could because I knew every place counted,” Van Eck said. “This is crazy.”

Minooka’s starting seven also featured Emily Ellis and Katelyn Gall.

“This is a culmination of so many,” Gummerson said. “All share in this title, from the girls who ran here eight years ago, to every team member who has been a part of this program. Words cannot describe

the feelings I have right now.

“It takes someone to start the process of getting the mindset of accomplishing something like this and Morgan Crouch started all of this.

She has wanted this since she was a freshman, she laid a lot of the groundwork with her attitude and inspiration.”

Also earning All-State honors was Plainfield North senior Rachael Lau, who finished 12th in 16:54.

“I’m so happy,” Lau said.

“I learned from my mistakes in the past and ran well today.

This is a really special feeling

to know what I accomplished.”

In the Class 2A race, Lincoln-Way West junior Evan Mitchell finished 15th in 15:01 to earn All-State honors. It was the first All-State accolades for

the boys cross country team in school history.

“Finally,” Mitchell said.

“This is such a great feeling.

I’ve been working on this since my freshman year. The last half-mile I was hurting, but I knew I had to go. I’m going to enjoy this.”

“Everything worked out today, just as we planned,” West coach Jason Van Swol said.

“Evan ran well, the weather cooperated and I’m so happy for him.”

Continued from page 48 Galloway ran 16:50, a personal best and the fourth fastest Class 1A time at the state meet.

“I’m very proud of my success,” Galloway said.

“I never even thought I would be a runner. I really thought softball would be my sport. I have learned a lot this season.”

“Daly trained a lot harder this year,” Panthers coach Lawrence Lane said. “Not in terms of mileage, but intensity. She has really matured as a person and a runner. I’m very proud of her accomplishments.”

The team did that, they left it out there on the course. I’m proud of this team, and we will miss our three seniors. We want to make it a habit of being here and doing well.”

Lincoln-Way West junior Teagan Lyke placed 90th in 18:50.

Loyola 75, Lewis 65: Lewis cut a 25-point second-half deficit to seven but could not come any closer as Loyola held on for the exhibition victory at the Gentile Center on Friday.

“One thing this team has that we have not had the past several seasons is multiple scoring options,” JJC coach Joe Kuhn said.

“I think we will be able to score points in a variety of ways, which is important.”

PEORIA – Individual performances highlighted local efforts in the 70th running of the Illinois state boys cross country meet Saturday at Detweiller Park.

In the Class 3A race, Minooka junior Soren Knudsen placed 11th, in 14:46 over the 3-mile course, to earn All-State honors for the first time.

“This is awesome,” Knudsen said. “During the middle of the season when I was dealing with injury issues, I never dreamed this could happen. It really hasn’t hit me yet.”

Knudsen started well and

was in the top 20 for much of the race.

“I kept hearing coaches tell their runners what place they were, so I knew were I was,” Knudsen said. “With 1,200 meters to go, I knew I had to make a move. I didn’t come here not to be in the top 25 (All-State status). This is really a big steppingstone to the track season, and I can tell you there won’t be many races I lose in track.”

Knudsen is the son of former Lockport state champion Jim Knudsen, who won the cross country title in 1981.

Minooka led the area with a 16th-place team finish. Miguel Lomeli (87th, 15:25), Justin Tutt (112th, 15:32), Jack Sul-

MEN’S BASKETBALL: ST. FRANCIS 87, HARRIS-STOWE 74

Saints prevail in season opener

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The University of St Francis men’s basketball team spent much of Friday night’s season opener against Harris-Stowe getting the ball inside to 6-foot-5, 220-pound Ilya Ilyayev and 6-8, 210-pound Jens Kennedy.

Good idea. The bruising senior duo combined for 41 points and 23 rebounds as the Saints finished the first half on a 16-2 run to lead 39-34 at the break and never trailed in the second half en route to an 87-74 victory before 585 fans at the Sullivan Center.

“Good things happen for us when Ilya and Jens touch the ball,” USF coach Ryan Marks said. “We can be very productive when we play through our big guys, get the ball in to them and they score or kick it back out for an open shot.

“One thing we targeted was breaking even on the boards and with Jens and Ilya having the nights they had, we were fortunate enough to win that battle [48-34].”

“Jens and Ilya are great,” Saints junior forward Jean Pietrzak said. “To me, they’re both are All-Americans.”

Kennedy, a Dwight graduate, scored 18 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and Ilyayev, an NAIA Division II thirdteam All-American last season, closed with 23 points and 10 boards. They combined for 27 points and 14 rebounds in the first half. The Saints (1-0) were able to keep Harris-Stowe (2-1) at bay in the second half in part because some of their many other veterans got involved offensively.

Ed Presniakovas (Plainfield South), for example, scored nine of his 11 points in the second half, six in the final 3 minutes 30 seconds to help St. Francis put it away after the Hornets had crept back within 68-64.

Jo Jo Ballestero came off the bench and scored all of his 12 points in the second half. Jake Raspopovich finished with nine points and Pietrzak with eight points.

University of St. Francis’ Jens Kennedy drives to the basket around Harris-Stowe’s Jamal Hinton on Friday at the Sullivan Center in Joliet. free throws late, and Pietrzak made two big baskets earlier in the second half.

“One reason some of the other guys got more involved in the second half is we were crisper,” Mark said. “We could have been crisper in the first half. Our passing wasn’t good, but that was a credit to Harris-Stowe’s defense. They got us discombobulated a little.”

Pietrzak left town immediately after the game. His dad drove him to Indianapolis, where the standout football wide receiver and the rest of his “other” USF teammates battled Marian (Ind.) at 11 a.m Saturday in a key Mid-States

Football Association crossover game that likely had playoff ramifications.

The next test for Pietrzak and the Saints’ basketball team will come Tuesday night at Governors State. Next weekend, St. Francis plays in a tournament at Las Vegas, where it will face Westmont and Emery-Riddle.

Harris-Stowe (2-1), located in St. Louis, was a quality early opponent for USF, which earlier lost exhibition games at Notre Dame and Eastern Illinois.

“This game was important to us,” Marks said. “Harris-Stowe has a first-year head

coach [Alfred Williams], and he brought in a lot of players.

I think as the year goes on, their performance will validate this as a good win for us.”

Harris-Stowe plays on the NAIA Division I level, while St. Francis is ranked 11th in the nation in D-II. “Coach told us they had beaten two teams already, and those teams underrated them,” Pietrzak said. “We weren’t going to do that. We weren’t really energized at first, but then we got it going.”

After trailing, 10-5, at the 15:42 mark of the first half, Harris-Stowe outscored the Saints, 27-13, in a span of near-

ly 10 minutes to lead, 32-23.

But Kennedy, Ilyayev, Presniakovas, Pietrzak and Logan Timmons all contributed offensively to the 16-2 run that closed the half and put USF ahead for good.

“If you want to be an elite team on your level, you have to beat good opponents that play a wide variety of styles,” Marks said. “Harris-Stowe has an uptempo game. Maybe 20 percent of our opponents play like them. Governors State has some similarities.

“Westmont that we will see in Las Vegas is the opposite, very methodical, almost Princeton-like.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ILLINOIS 48, PURDUE 14

By JEFF WASHBURN The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS EVANSTON – Jack Mitchell’s 35-yard field goal with nine seconds left gave the Northwestern Wildcats a 23-21 win Saturday over the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Backup quarterback Zack Oliver passed for one touchdown and ran for another, and Justin Jackson rushed for 186 yards for Northwestern. Mitchell had missed an extra point and a pair of field goals, but recovered to give the Wildcats a dramatic victory.

Solomon Vault added a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 2:04 left in the first half for Northwestern.

Illinois running back Josh Ferguson celebrates a touchdown with offensive lineman Chris Boles during the first half Saturday against Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind. Purdue (2-7, 1-4), which defeated Illinois last season in Champaign and beat Nebraska this past Saturday, gained only 25 yards in the first quarter on homecoming and finished the opening half with 39 plays for 105 yards. Purdue finished with only 263 total yards.

“I thought we would execute better in all phases,” Purdue coach Darrell Hazell said. “We did not. We never got into any rhythm offensively, especially early. On defense, we gave up way too many big plays.”

The Illini took a 7-0 lead with 11:41 remaining in the first half on Lunt’s 32-

yard touchdown pass to Malik Turner, capping a five-play, 76-yard drive that included a 29-yard Vaughn run to the Purdue 42.

Vaughn averaged 11.2 yards a carry, and Ferguson averaged 11.1. Lunt completed 19 of 33 passes for 169 yards and the three TDs. Illinois increased its lead to 10-0 with 4:48 to go in the first quarter on Taylor Zalewski’s 46-yard field goal. That scoring drive included Ferguson’s 17-yard run to the Purdue 28.

Through one quarter, Illinois gained 142 yards.

At Bloomington, Indiana, LeShun Daniels Jr. ran for two scores and injured quarterback C.J. Beathard threw the game-clinching touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to keep No. 10 Iowa unbeaten.

The Hawkeyes (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten, No. 9 CFP) have matched the best start in school history. The last time it happened was 2009.

The Wolverines (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten, No. 17 CFP) were able to coast to an easy victory after wild finishes in their last two games.

• Sunday, November 8, 2015

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Illinois entered Saturday’s game at Purdue ranked last in the Big Ten in rushing, averaging 114.6 yards in all games and only 67.2 yards during its first four conference games.

But the Illini solved that problem for at least one week, getting 16 carries for 180 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Ke’Shawn Vaughn, 12 carries for 133 from Josh Ferguson – in his first game back from injury – and a total of 382 yards on the ground Saturday in a dominating 48-14 victory against Purdue.

Wes Lunt threw three first-half touchdown passes, and Illinois (5-4, 2-3) snapped a three-game losing streak.

The Illini came into this game with 917 total rushing yards and only 269 in their first four conference games. But they were playing a Purdue team that ranked last in rushing defense, allowing 183 rushing yards a game.

“You can tell the difference in our offense when Fergie is in there,” Illinois coach Bill Cubit said of the back who had been sidelined with a shoulder injury.

“It’s a little bit different of an offense when he is in there. Ke’Shawn played really well, too. We also got some big plays from Wes in the passing game.

“Josh never exceeds my expectations.

My expectations for him are pretty high.

On third downs, he just makes things happen. Today just validates a lot of things we always talk about. You can be at the bottom of the barrel one minute, and at the top the next.”

Ferguson said he and Vaughn finally had a game together in which each could excel.

“We were just waiting on Vaughn to fix a few things, and he is starting to learn how to run in the Big Ten,” Ferguson said. “We’re very happy with what he has done. For me, I just wanted to get back out there today with my teammates.

The offensive line played well, our quarterback play was awesome and we just executed well as a team.”

Illinois, which had scored 33 total points in consecutive losses to Iowa, Wisconsin and Penn State, drove 76, 58 and 72 yards for touchdowns during the opening 30 minutes, running 44 plays for 295 yards and 17 first downs before halftime.

The Illini finished with 595 yards total offense.

“This feels great,” Lunt said. “Purdue had an extra guy in the box all day, and for Ferguson and Vaughn to find windows like that was impressive. Having a running game helps me out a ton. Being able to run on first and second downs and move the chains was huge for us.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NOTRE DAME 42, PITTSBURGH 30

Irish QB Kizer throws for five TDs

By WILL GRAVES The Associated Press PITTSBURGH – Brian Kelly isn’t ready to start politicking. The Notre Dame coach figures it’s far too early to get caught up in the endless debate of “who’s in, who’s out” of the College Football Playoff.

Still, considering the way the eighth-ranked Irish’s offense is humming at the moment, he might want to get a speech ready just in case.

DeShone Kizer threw for five touchdowns and ran for another as Notre Dame bolstered its CFP resume with a relatively easy 42-30 win over Pitt.

Kizer completed 19 of 26 passes for 262 yards with no turnovers as the Irish (8-1) won their fourth straight. Will Fuller caught seven passes for 157 yards and three scores and Josh Adams ran for 147 yards and hauled in Kizer’s final touchdown pass while filling in after senior C.J. Prosise left in the first quarter with a neck/shoulder/head injury and did not return.

“Just another day at the

talking about ‘Get me the ball, I can score,’” Kelly said. “You can see the way he attacks the football out there and the way he runs, he’s a guy that you want to get it to.”

Kizer certainly didn’t waste any time, finding Fuller for a 47-yard strike on the game’s third play. The two later hooked up for a 46-yard score late in the first half and a 14yard touchdown in the third quarter to halt a surge by the Panthers (6-3).

Notre Dame finished with 435 total yards even with Prosise sitting out the final 45 minutes after slamming into the ground following a 10yard reception late in the first quarter.

Kelly said his team’s leading rusher is “day to day” and it’s too early to tell if Prosise will be ready next week when the Irish host Notre Dame.

Considering the way AdAP photo Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer (14) looks to pass as Pittsburgh defensive lineman Ejuan Price (5) ams played, there’s no need for Prosise to hurry.

NFL: BEARS NOTEBOOK

Forte, Royal ruled out for Monday vs. Chargers

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Matt Forte (knee) won’t play when the Bears visit the Chargers on Monday night in San Diego.

It’ll be his first missed start since Week Three of the 2013 season. In Forte’s absence, fourth-round rookie Jeremy Langford will make his first NFL start.

Forte missed practice this week after departing in the third quarter Sunday against the Vikings. The Bears officially ruled him out for Monday, along with Eddie Royal (knee).

Center Hroniss Grasu (neck) is listed as doubtful.

Shea McClellin (knee) practiced on a limited basis this week for the first time since

injuring his knee in Week Five versus the Chiefs. He, Pernell McPhee, who returned to practice Saturday after missing Thursday and Friday with a knee injury; Jermon Bushrod (shoulder) and Bryce Callahan are all listed as questionable for Monday night.

“The knee has been bothersome,” John Fox said of McPhee’s ailment. “We’re trying to get him ready for the game. That’s the key in any week of preparation, and we feel good about that. We’ll just continue to evaluate that until Monday night.”

McPhee, the Bears’ sack leader, said Friday he expects to play. Cameron Meredith (ankle) and LaRoy Reynolds (knee) are listed as probable.

Callahan, the Bears’ nickel cornerback for the first time last week, has cleared concussion protocol after being a limited, non-contact practice participant the past two days, Fox said.

Preparing for prime time: Fox said his message for a young team in advance of its first prime-time game this season won’t change dramatically.

“We try to teach our guys, there’s two types of pressure: those you feel and those you apply,” Fox said. “Whether you’re on prime time, not-soprime, it’s still a football game.

It’s still the NFL. “We put a lot of time and effort into it, and we’re just going to be doing everything we can to win no matter what network

or what time we play.”

Monday night.”

the NFL’s No. 1 passing offense and one that runs almost exclusively out of no-huddle, Fox admitted, can put added stress on a defense.

The Bears could get a lift from the return of their quarterback, McClellin, but Fox said Philip Rivers’ Chargers still pose a unique challenge.

“Yeah, I think it does, it speeds up the communication,” Fox said of the added stress an up-tempo offense can create.

“Shea’s been out a little bit until now, so we’ve adjusted. It’s been a strain on guys because you put a new responsibility on them, but they’re adapting well, and that’ll be a big test

out for Monday night’s game: tackle King Dunlap (ankle), center Chris Watt (shoulder) and inside linebackers Manti Te’o (ankle) and Denzel Perryman (biceps). Guard Orlando Franklin (knee) and tight end Ladarius Green (ankle) are doubtful.

The list of questionable players includes defensive tackle Corey Liuget (foot), cornerbacks Patrick Robinson (concussion) and Jason Verrett (groin), and safeties Eric Weddle (groin) and Darrell Stuckey (hamstring). Cornerback Brandon Flowers (knee) and tight end Antonio Gates (knee) are probable.

Joliet teen is a world karate champion and youth mentor

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

J

dunland@shawmedia.com

OLIET – On Nov. 8 at the Illinois Shotokan Karate Club in Schaumburg, Abby Ford, 15, of Joliet will do two kata demonstrations and receive two awards – Competitor of the Year and Assistant of the year.

Abby, who started karate at age 7, said she also is hoping to merit some scholarships. But then, Abby’s goal is the top: She wants to compete in the Olympics and be a role model for other youth.

“It’s the highest you can reach,” Abby said of the Olympics. “I want to leave a legacy in karate and teach the next generation.”

She is well on her way. On Oct. 3, Abby took the world championship in youth female for individual kata in the World Shotokan Karate tournament in Poland. Kata, Abby said, is a routine of karate moves. Abby said she has five different routines.

Through the years, according to Sue Thompson of Joliet, Abby’s grandmother and guardian, Abby also has been a national champion four times, a junior international cup champion five times, and junior U.S. team member twice, and placed second in the North American Cup. Furthermore, she accomplished these honors while maintaining a high honor roll, Thompson said.

Abby is a student at Plainfield Central High School. Her family is extremely proud of her.

“We are her biggest fans,” Thompson said.

Abby said karate has taught her confidence and self-discipline, and doing well in school is part of the discipline. She said her sensei Predrag “Peja” Bajic maintains that school comes first.

“It just makes you a better person overall,” Abby said. “You carry stuff from karate to your real work. You try to be better in school and in other sports.”

Other sports?

“I used to play basketball in middle school,” Abby said, “but I wasn’t very good at it.”

But Abby has excelled in karate and she attributes that success to Bajic.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Abby Ford, 15, won the youth female individual kata world championship during the 2015 World Shotokan Karate tournament in Poland in early October.

“He’s like my second dad; he’s my role model,” Abby said. “Especially during the summer, I see him every day, sometimes twice a day, and he’s become a big part of my life. He’s always trying to improve, to be better than he was last year.”

Abby said she started karate because a friend – who also was in karate – suggested it. Abby said that same year, she met her teacher’s brother, which was Bajic.

“She said, ‘You have to train this little girl. She is very good,’ ” Abby said. “He started working with me on

his own.”

And why did he? Because of Abby’s strong emotion, Bajic said.

Having experienced war and then a move to the U.S. without knowing English, Bajic recognized in Abby a passion and self-motivation she could channel into karate.

The skill, he knew, would come with proper training – and it did. For instance, Bajic said Abby earned her second-degree black belt in four and a half years, when it’s nearly impossible to earn one in less than five.

“She can do anything she puts her mind and emotion into,” Bajic said.

At age 8, Abby began competing at national competitions and earning medals in kata, Thompson said. At 12, Abby started training to qualify for the United States team, she added. Competitors must attain the top two positions at nationals to qualify for the U.S. team, Abby said.

In 2014, Abby said she qualified to

compete in Peru with the U.S. team, qualifying in fighting – kumite – not kata. Abby qualified again this year and again in kumite; that competition was held in September in Bolivia, she said.

The Peru and Bolivian events were Pan American events for just North and South America and included all styles of karate, Abby said.

In Bolivia, Abby said she won the first match and lost in overtime.

“I wasn’t on my best that day,” Abby said.

To become the best takes work.

Thompson said Abby trains about 40 hours a week and also assists sensei at several of his classes.

What makes Abby a good teacher?

Love, Bajic said, love for karate and love for people, as well as Abby’s obvious results.

“This is the magic,” Bajic said.

“She has really good results and people respect her results.”

Students make donuts at Joliet shop

We help local farmers export over 14,000 tons of grain and grain byproducts daily* Thanks to the CenterPoint Intermodal Center, local grain exports that used to be shipped only on barges now have the option of using containers. It has actually opened up an entire new export market and created more competition. Some overseas customers who couldn’t afford to buy an entire barge load of grain will buy it by the container, and that allows local farmers to reach new markets and get a better price.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The danger hand is the danger

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Pierre Corneille, a 17th-century French dramatist and poet, said, “We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.”

Not at the bridge table – we much prefer to triumph without there having been any danger to our contract. In this deal, for example, how should South play in four hearts after West leads the diamond king?

South starts with nine top tricks: one spade, seven hearts and one diamond. If East has the club ace, there will be no problems, but the bidding strongly suggests West will hold that card, and if so, declarer is in danger of losing one spade and three clubs. If West does have the club ace, unless West leads a club himself, South will need to get two spade tricks ... and without letting East, the danger hand, on lead.

If South wins the first trick, draws trumps, and attacks spades, East will get in with his king and shift to the club queen. The secret is not to take the first trick. Declarer wins trick two with dummy’s diamond ace and discards a spade. He draws trumps, leads his last spade to dummy’s ace, then runs the spade jack, discarding a club if East plays low. When West takes the trick, he is endplayed. A spade return sets up a winner; a diamond lead concedes a ruff-and-sluff; and a club play is away from the ace.

Or, if East covers the spade jack, South ruffs, crosses to dummy with a trump, and runs the spade 10, pitching a club from his hand, for the same endplay.

This deal would defeat many declarers because they would win trick one, then stop to think. Take your time after the dummy appears.

Note to readers: This column is an update of one that originally appeared in May 2013.

Dear Dr. K: I’ve read in

like cookies and crackers; and in many fried foods.

There is no safe level of trans fats, and you should eat as little of them as possible. To do so, avoid packaged foods where the package label says they contain “partially hydrogenated” oils, and look for the amount of trans fats on the Nutrition Facts panel.

In the U.S., trans fats may soon be a thing of the past. Several cities have banned the use of them in restaurant cooking. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has labeled them as “no longer generally recognized as safe,” and moved to eliminate them from the commercial food supply over the coming years.

Now to the good fats: polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.

Good fats can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and prevent heart disease.

There are two types of polyunsaturated fats: omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3s come mainly from fish, especially fatty fish like salmon and sardines.

But you can also find them in flaxseeds, walnuts and canola oil. Omega-6 fatty acids are present in safflower, soybean, sunflower, walnut and corn oils.

Good sources of monounsaturated fats are olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, avocados and most nuts.

So, in my opinion, the science continues to show that the good fats – polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats – are good for you, and the bad fats – saturated and trans saturated fats – are bad for you.

your column about “good fats” and “bad fats.” I’ve also heard that recent studies challenge which fats are “bad.” Can you shed a little light on this issue?

Dear Reader: I don’t blame you for being confused. One problem with medical studies is that they don’t always agree.

That’s why we often need a lot of them to determine the “truth.”

Let’s start at the beginning. For years, you probably heard that all fats were bad for you and carbohydrates (“carbs”) were good. That was nonsense. We need both fats and carbs in our diet.

We need to eat mainly “good fats,” and to minimize the intake of “bad fats.” Which are which?

For many decades, hundreds of scientific studies have found that eating lots of saturated fats is unhealthy. Saturated fats are found mainly in meat and whole-fat dairy foods.

Now, a recent study that got a lot of coverage in the media claimed to find that saturated fats were not unhealthy, after all. Don’t believe it! What that study showed was that if you reduce saturated fats in your diet (which is supposed to be healthy) but replace the saturated fat with refined carbohydrates, your health won’t benefit. That’s because the refined carbs are as bad for you as the saturated fats, or worse. If you replace saturated fats with good fats, however, your health will benefit.

In the past 25 years, largely from research done by my colleagues here at Harvard, another kind of fat also has been fingered as “bad”: trans fats.

Trans fats are found in margarine, particularly hard stick margarine; commercially baked goods

your daughter are not joined at the hip. While you won’t be able to be with her every day, there is no reason you can’t talk together on the phone or Skype. She should move alone to Florida and see how her relationship with her boyfriend works out, because there are no guarantees.

Since you and your former son-in-law are comfortable with the arrangement, give living with him a try. It says a lot about both of you that your relationship is such a warm one. If anything changes, re-evaluate your options then. But for now, some separation between you and your daughter might

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips be good for both of you.

Dear Abby: My spouse and I are Buddhists, and we do not intend to raise our 2-year-old daughter as a Christian. We plan to teach her about various religions, but we want the opportunity to do so to be ours as parents.

I have discussed this at length with my parents.

Nevertheless, they insist on teaching her Christian songs even though I have asked them to stop. I feel their refusal to follow my wishes on this matter is disrespectful. They had their opportunity to raise me the way they chose.

Now it’s my turn to raise my child as I choose.

How do I get them to take me seriously, short of telling them they can no longer see her? (I’d rather it not come to that.)

– Chanting for Patiences in Austin, Texas Dear Chanting: When are

your parents teaching your child these songs? If they are doing it when she is with them without your supervision, limit their alone time with her. That should work in the short term.

But realize that you can’t shelter your daughter from Christianity and other religions forever, particularly as she grows older and the Christian holidays roll around with all the attendant marketing that surrounds them.

Having awareness of and respect for other religions is important today, because not all people believe alike.

Dear Abby: I am a 68-year-old woman. For the past seven years, I have lived with my daughter, my only child.

We have always had a great relationship, and now as adults, we have a great friendship. She and her husband recently separated, and she now has a boyfriend.

She has an excellent job and has been talking lately about asking for a transfer to Florida, 900 miles away.

I don’t want to move anywhere. I have a parttime job I love and I don’t want to give it up. All my family and friends live here.

My ex-son-in-law has offered for me to come live with him. We have always had a good relationship.

So: Do I give up the rest of my life without seeing my only child every day and move in with her ex?

Or do I move with her to Florida?

In either case, I’ll have to give up my very specialized job that is not transferable. Help! – Decisions
