Another election night in the newsroom has come and gone. If you’ve never been in a newsroom on election night, it’s several hours of hurry up and wait (while eating pizza) for results to come in ... and then furious attempts to reach candidates so we can get a quote or two in stories before deadline hits.

It’s an adrenaline rush that I love, although the next morning requires copious amounts of coffee in order to function for the day on just a few hours of sleep.

Of course, we’re still waiting for the result of one big race: Will County Sheriff.

Fewer than 200 votes separate Republican Ken Kaupas, the leader, and Democrat Mike Kelley. Kaupas estimated last week there could be as many as 1,500 ballots that have yet to be counted.

All votes should be count-

VIEWS Kate Schott

like mayor, city councils, school boards and township officials will be on the ballot.

It never ends.

Tidbits ed by Nov. 18 – which won’t give much time for the new sheriff to get ready. Whoever the victor, he’ll be sworn in Dec. 1. We’ll keep tabs on the race and let you know as soon as we do who will be the next sheriff.

It was great to see 50 percent voter turnout for this election, although I’ll never understand why 100 percent of registered voters don’t cast a ballot. People have practically a month to vote. It’s that hard to find 10 minutes to cast a ballot?

Of course, we got through this Election Day, and immediately my thoughts turned to next spring’s election, when the hyper-local offices

Few things to share: • Starting Monday, you’ll see a different layout on the page that has until now only held the New York Times crossword puzzle. We will be adding to that page the Dr. K column, and horoscopes. People have missed the Dr. K column since it stopped running daily about a month ago, and we decided to bring it back. Dear Abby will continue to run on the second page of comics, so both will run daily in The Herald-News.

That means, of course, the crossword puzzle will be smaller. It’s on par with the size that puzzle runs in other Shaw Media papers, as well

THE GRADE As low-income levels rise, schools adapt to meet student needs

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS and FELIX SARVER lleoncross@shawmedia.com and fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Nearly the entire student population in Joliet Grade School District 86 now is categorized as low-income, a statistic that makes it harder for the district to look good on the Illinois Report Card.

Ninety-eight percent of public school students in the district are considered low-income, which the state defines as those who are either eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunches, live in substitute care or whose families receive public aid.

The school district’s low-income population has increased by 39 percent since 2010, according to the latest Illinois Report Card released Oct. 31.

“Our school district mirrors society,” District 86 Superintendent Charles Coleman said. “If folks are being challenged with securing jobs or other issues, that impacts us as well. That’s why our teachers and principals work closely with parents and students.”

Joliet 86 is an example of a school district looking for ways to make the grade on the state report card, an analytical tool that also shows lowincome communities have the toughest time producing highperforming students.

Despite income levels

in the district, Joliet grade school students either scored slightly on par with or exceeded state averages when it came to reading and math on the Illinois Standards Achievement Test tests this year.

One step taken by the district two years ago was to expand its summer school program from a two-day-aweek, two-week program to a four-day-a-week, six-week program. That gives students who are performing below grade level a chance to catch up, Coleman said.

“That’s the goal,” he said.

By the numbers Number of low-income students statewide since 2010: • 2010 – 45 percent • 2011 – 48 percent • 2012 – 49 percent • 2013 – 50 percent • 2014 – 52 percent Source: Illinois Report Card

STATEWIDE CHALLENGE Joliet District 86 is not alone in facing the challenge of educating a growing population of low-income students.

The number of low-income students has risen statewide ,and educators are challenged to ensure those students meet academic standards.

Low-income students made up slightly more than half of the state’s student population, representing a 7 percent increase since 2010, according to the newly released Illinois Report Card.

It’s not uncommon for children from impoverished backgrounds to experience higher levels of stress or show severe behavioral and emotional problems, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Jovanny Gonzalez, 5, listens to Joliet Public Schools District 86 literacy instructional coach Jennifer French while in Diana Yang’s bilingual kindergarten class Wednesday.

These difficulties can affect classroom success, leading to lower achievement scores and higher dropout rates, according to ISBE. Low-income students typically require additional educational resources to help them achieve. One such program is found at Joliet Township High School District 204, where 63 percent of students are considered low-income.

The district’s YESS program connects students with local social service agencies for spiritual and emotional support, and helps with violence prevention, Superinten-

dent Cheryl McCarthy said.

“We all know that unless basic needs are met, it’s hard to concentrate on anything else,” McCarthy said.

TEST SCORES Statewide, students who are not from low-income backgrounds have regularly outperformed low-income students on the ISAT and Prairie State Achievement Examination.

The ISAT exam measures academic achievement among students in third through eighth grades, while the PSAE tests high school juniors.

Statewide this year, the number of low-income students who met or exceeded ISAT reading, math and science standards was 41, 45 and 66 percent, respectively.

Among students who were not from low-income backgrounds, 74, 75 and 89 percent met or exceeded those standards.

For the Prairie State reading, math and science tests, 37, 32 and 28 percent of low-income students met or exceeded standards. Among students who were not low-income, 71, 68 and 66 percent met or exceeded reading, math and science tests.

At District 204, low-income students scored below state average for the Prairie State exams when compared with peers who were not low-income.

PUMPKIN PITCH PERFECT Composting lessons offered at first Will County pumpkin recycling event

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Dozens of pumpkins were chucked Friday morning into a large garbage bin in front of the Will County building during the county’s first Pumpkin Pitch contest.

The Will County Land Use Department held the contest from 6 a.m. to noon for residents to toss their used pumpkins while learning about the value of composting food scraps.

“It went well,” said Marta Keane, recycling program specialist for the department. “It was a generally enthusiastic response. We had pumpkins hitting the back [of the bin] and some went over.”

Will County produces the fifth most pumpkins of any county in Illinois, which produces more than 90 percent of the country’s processed pumpkins, according to data from the University of Illinois Ex-

tension.

The contest had people line up to throw, toss or roll their pumpkins in the bin. Prizes were given to those throwing 5, 10 and 15 feet into the bin.

Each pumpkin thrown earned an entry into a drawing for more prizes. If the thrower’s pumpkin hit the back of the bin, two entries were earned.

Grand prizes for the farthest pitch or roll were donated by Heroes West of Joliet.

The tossed pumpkins will be shipped to Christensen Family Farms in Peotone, where they will be plowed into the fields for farm applications.

“It’s all about raising awareness to compost food scraps or send them to a compost site,” Keane said. “About 21 percent of landfills are food scraps.

Composting is a great way to harvest food scraps and recycle.”

Lockport resident Chris Plascencia and her son, David, participated in the Pumpkin

“We were just going to throw the pumpkins in the garbage,” Plascencia said, adding that she heard about the Pumpkin Pitch on the radio and decided to recycle instead. “I think it’s nice for them to make the community aware about recycling and composting.”

According to a guide by the Land Use Department, composting takes advantage of and accelerates the natural process of decomposition, turning organic materials such as coffee

Successful compost pits contain materials with moisture, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon.

Smaller indoor compost bins often use red wiggler worms to help break down materials.

Plascencia said while she hasn’t considered composting, her family tries to recycle when

they can by separating plastic bags from cardboard, aluminum cans and other types of waste. She thought it was important for her son to see other people recycling, whether it’s garbage or pumpkins.

As for how she and David did in the contest: “My son hit the back [of the bin]. I didn’t, but he gave me the big one,” she said.

Lockport city officials consider approving construction projects

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – City officials in Lockport will consider approving several construction projects at their next City Council meeting.

Up for approval will be the selection of a consultant for the reconstruction projects for Cleveland and 11th Street, 13th Street, 14th Street, Washington and Jefferson Street.

Council members also will consider approving a sidewalk project and additional costs for the 159th street widening project.

The city has been moving forward with its $50 million capital improvement plan.

One of the goals of the plan is completing the engineering for many infrastructure projects so they will be ready for construction when funding becomes available.

Public works officials recommend council members approve entering an agreement with HR Green Inc. to reconstruct Cleveland and 11th Street for $88,105.

The project involves restoration of the water main, curb, gutter, storm sewer and landscaping on Cleveland Street.

Council members will also decide whether to approve paying $250,000 from the city’s motor fuel tax funds for the Illinois Route 7 side-

walk project construction costs. The project has already garnered state and federal funding that has covered engineering and construction costs.

Additional costs for the sidewalk construction that is part of the 159th Street widening project also may be approved. City officials would spend $53,000 to connect the sidewalk on the south side of 159th Street, which is between Gougar and Cedar Road.

Council members may also enter a $168,344 agreement for engineering services for two projects reconstructing 13th Street, as well as the 14th, Jefferson and Washington

Street. If approved, the city would enter an agreement with James J. Benes and Associates.

Canal sign maintenance At the next City Council meeting, city officials may approve enter a maintenance agreement with the Canal Corridor Association for way finding and interpretive signs along the Illinois and Michigan Canal.

The association has been working on updating and replacing the signs along with canal and will cover the cost of replacing the signs, said City Administrator Ben Benson. He said the association wants to include new attrac-

“The only thing [the association] ask for us covering the cost for all the signs is to go ahead and maintain these as the future allows.”

Family ties come together in Joliet Central project

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Carrie DelRose, 38, might not be a Joliet Township High School alumna, but she has many ties to one of the area’s oldest school districts.

Her grandfather, father and husband all attended school in the district and her 14-year-old daughter recently started as a freshman at Joliet Central.

Carrie DelRose also is a project assistant and office engineer with Gilbane, the construction manager for Joliet Central’s new Student Center project.

“It’s exciting for me. My dad was really proud of Central. My dad was a football player all four years, so to be part of something that he was so involved with is really neat,” she said.

Her grandfather was involved with the school board about the time the district went from one to three schools with the addition of West and East campuses. The district later closed Joliet East.

More online Visit TheHerald-News.com to view artist renderings of the Joliet Central Student Center project “He was a big part of Central when there was a lot of transitioning going on, with the closing [of Joliet East],” she sad.

“I wonder sometimes if some of the footprints that were laid so long ago have brought us to where we are today.”

By “today,” she’s referring to the new Student Center construction at Joliet Central that broke ground earlier this year.

The $28 million project is being funded through bonds and is slated to wrap up by spring 2016.

Carrie’s daughter, Sammy DelRose, is young enough that she’ll still be a Joliet Central student by the time the new Student Center opens. That means she’ll get full use of something her mother took part in, in-

cluding an improved cafeteria area, bookstore, galleria with natural lighting, and a student lounge.

“I’m really excited,” Sammy DelRose said. “I can’t wait to see the cafeteria. It’ll definitely be bigger and better.”

building was key in planning, district spokeswoman Kristine Schlismann said.

Both the architectural team, Wight & Company, and the Joliet Central High School Archive Committee made it a point to have the project mirror the school’s historic architecture. The galleria connection, which will be attached to the east side of the school, will have the same limestone facade as the rest of the building.

Right now, Carrie DelRose said, both Wight & Company and Gilbane are working on a design for the building’s main entrance doors.

“If you look, the doors over here are beautiful. Most of the original doors are fourinch wood,” DelRose said.

“You can’t find those these days. It’s a big challenge because you have to find something that’s durable, but at the same time, you want to maintain the integrity of the doors.”

to allow students to share impressions of their overall high school experience, according to interim assistant principal Bert Kooi.

The survey included 15 statements, allowing students to answer, “always, mostly, sometimes or never.”

Students gave their most positive scores to the statements, “I feel safe at my school,” “My teachers expect me to do my best,” and “MCHS school personnel treat me with respect.”

They responded least favorably to, “When I need extra help or don’t understand part of the lesson, I ask or tell my teacher,” “My schoolwork positively challenges me,” and “My school is preparing me well for the future.”

Board member Chris Kobe said the survey gave students a voice, but that the answers would have been more informative if students were asked to give suggestions on how to improve areas they graded low.

Mark French said the results could be used in addition to surveys already employed by teachers in individual classrooms and by the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, taken in the spring and conducted by the Illinois State Board of Education.

School board member Karen Buchanan was absent from Thursday’s meeting.

Firefighters battle a fire Friday morning on Joyce Road. The fire initially was reported from a small engine shop near McDonough Street, a fire official said. is in a separate building and was not touched by the fire, he said. Lawn mowers and other equipment brought to him for repairs was in his building, Hamilton said.

“Nothing’s destroyed,” Hamilton said, noting he was concerned about mowers that were in his shop. “Nobody’s equipment is destroyed at all.”

Hamilton’s apartment also was destroyed in the fire. It was not clear whether the fire started in the apartment or in the storage area of the building.

Hamilton said he would look for another place to sleep Friday night but, “as soon as they (firefighters) are cleared out, I’m going back to work. Let everybody know, I’m back to 18 hours a day.”

District 86 also has math, literacy coaches • GRADE Continued from page 3 EXTRA COACHING District 86 also has literacy and math coaches to supplement classroom instruction.

Jennifer French is an instructional literacy coach at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School and Woodland Elementary School.

She said she helps teachers with professional development along with adapting their curriculum to Common Core standards. She also helps teachers adapt to district-wide initiatives.

“We’re just trying to really refine and allow the teachers to develop as professionals with the support of yet another professional,” she said.

French said she will model lessons for teachers, give them feedback on classroom instruction and work with students, as well.

‘NOT AN ACCURATE REFLECTION’ At Fairmont School District 89 in Lockport Township – where 92 percent of students are low-income – academic performance has improved from 2002 to 2012, Superintendent Sonya Whitaker said.

In 2013, when ISBE significantly raised the ISAT cut scores needed to meet or exceed state standards, Fairmont – as with most schools statewide – scored below the new, tougher standards. Up until 2012, Fairmont schools had steadily improved ISAT scores, Whitaker said.

Whitaker said because of the change in cut scores, the recently released Illinois Report Card is “not an accurate reflection” of progress being made.

“We have twice as many low-income students as the state, and twice the rate for mobility, yet we are making significant gains,” she said.

For example, only 14 percent of Fairmont students met or exceeded standards in math in 2010, but this year, that number increased to 32 percent. On reading tests, 25 percent met state standards in 2012, but in 2013, even with new standards, that number increased to 33 percent.

“Now is that where I want us to be? No,” she said. “But that doesn’t mean it’s not a recognizable achievement.”

one from that business could be reached for comment.

Aldridge said the building is divided into what appeared to be business condominiums.

It was not clear whether those condominiums still were in use. But the likelihood that there were closed doors or walls in sections of the building might have stopped it from spreading faster, he said.

The cause of the fire and what caused it to spread so quickly is under investigation.

Aldridge said the equipment in the building, which included lawn mowers, might have contributed to the blaze.

About 60 percent of the building was destroyed by the fire, Aldridge said.

JOLIET – A Friday morning fire destroyed more than half of a Joyce Road commercial building used at least partially for storage.

The building in the 600 block of Joyce Road is in a business park off McDonough Street.

“It was all smoke,” said Brad Hamilton, who lived in an apartment in the building and was outside headed to his small engine repair shop nearby when he saw the smoke about 6 a.m. “I opened the door and saw all the smoke. I called 911. I figured they could get it under control pretty quick. I was wrong.”

The fire reached the roof area and spread quickly when firefighters arrived, Joliet Battalion Chief Laroy Aldridge said.

“When we got here, we had fire in the front,” Aldridge said. “Then it self-vented into the roof, and away it went.”

But firefighters saved a large section of the building and the equipment inside when they sawed into the structure and created a trench cut that allowed the fire to ventilate.

The building is an L-shaped structure set off from Joyce Road.

The building is attached to the offices of American Maintenance & Landscaping Inc. No

Joseph Anthony Delaney “Joe,” age 86, passed away peacefully at St. Patrick’s Residence in Naperville on Friday, November 7, 2014.

Loving and devoted husband of over 66 years to Helen (nee Buttles) Delaney; doting father of Maureen (Charles) Resler of Naperville, Peg (Ed) Monteagudo of Western Springs, Patricia (Terry) Stanley of Plainfield, Kathleen (Gary) Anderson of Plainfield, Susan (John) Hulbert of Minooka, Michael (Vikki) Delaney of Western Springs, and Sharon (Michael) Carnaghi of Oswego; treasured grandfather of Jennifer (Gerry) Hall, Joseph (Megan) Resler, Emily, David and Laura Monteagudo, Timothy (Wendy), Daniel (Heather), and Colleen Stanley, Katherine (Steve) Moudry, Patrick (Karli), Nicholas (Debbie), Christopher, and Sarah Anderson, Jeffrey, Stephen (Tracey), Michelle, Kevin Hulbert, Sean, Connor, and Nolan Delaney, Thomas and Julia Carnaghi; dear great-grandfather of 12; and caring brother-in-law of Phyllis (the late John) Rapcan of Plainfield.

Preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Margaret (nee Ardaugh) Delaney; one brother, Harold (the late Florence and Vera) Delaney; and one sister, Evelyn (the late Vincent) Walsh.

Joseph was born and raised on his family farm in Manhattan, Illinois.

He graduated from St. Joseph Grade School in 1942 and then from Joliet Catholic High School in 1946. It was during his high school years that he met the love of his life, Helen, on a blind date. They married in 1948 and went on to have six children living in Manhattan as active members of St. Joseph Church where Joe attended Mass daily. Joe moved his family to Joliet in 1964, where they became active members of the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus and added their seventh child. Throughout the next 50 years, Joe modeled his faith for his family and community by continuing to attend Mass daily, as well as serving as a lector and Eucharistic minister.

Joseph was employed for 40 years as an industrial salesman for Barrett Hardware Company where he made

many life-long friends. He continued in sales working for Bell Realty and Kerr Supply and then into his early ’80s working part-time as a courier for First American Title Company and Hometown National Bank, as well as serving coffee at White Hen Pantry.

Joseph taught his children the importance of faith, family, and a strong work ethic. He believed that his family was his greatest asset and leaves a legacy which each one of them cherishes.

Joseph loved people and was as interested in what others had to share about their own background and family as he was in sharing the details of his own children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, of whom he was so proud.

Once Joe met someone, he never forgot their name or the information they shared with him and he cared enough to ask for an update when he saw them again. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

The family wishes to thank the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm and the entire staff at St. Patrick’s Residence for their loving and dignified care of Joe for nearly two years and particularly during these past several months.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Joseph’s name to St. Patrick’s Residence, 1400 Brookdale Road, Naperville, IL 60563.

A Celebration of Joseph’s life will begin on Wednesday, November 12, 2014, with prayers in the funeral home chapel at 9:20 a.m. then driving in procession to the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus for a Mass of Christian Burial to be held at 10:00 a.m. Entombment to follow at Resurrection Mausoleum in Romeoville. Visitation will be on Tuesday, November 11, 2014, at Tezak Funeral Home, 1211 Plainfield Road, Joliet, IL from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.

GOP denies role in Chicago election judge robocalls

By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Robocalls that Chicago election officials blamed for the no-show of 2,000 election judges this week were recorded by people helping Cook County Republicans recruit poll workers and who were trying to ensure those judges voted for the GOP, according to recordings of the calls.

But the chairman of the Cook County GOP says the calls were not sanctioned by the party.

Chicago election officials have referred the issue to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, which has begun an investigation. No charges have been filed.

The calls were first brought to the public’s attention Monday by city officials who labeled them “intimidation” and who later linked them to the higher than usual absentee rate of judges at the polls.

While no one claims the calls affected the outcome of the vote, election officials said the judges’ confusion left them scrambling to find last-minute

stand-ins and contributed to long lines and delays at polling places throughout the city.

Political parties typically recruit judges to monitor polling places for any problems.

They are paid $170 for the day.

The intent behind the calls remains unclear. One call says, falsely, that Republican-recruited judges must vote Republican, and others incorrectly told judges they had to report for additional training.

“We expect all judges to vote. Part of being a Republican judge means supporting our Republican ticket,” says one of the automated calls.

“We also encourage you to bring a friend to vote to help increase our turnout.”

Audio of the calls was first posted online by WGN-TV and later obtained by The Associated Press.

In parts of Chicago, Republicans have had a hard time finding party faithful to serve as judges, and often fill spots with Democrats. This year, Cook County GOP officials said they were making efforts to recruit an additional 5,000 judges because they were worried about voter fraud.

Do you sometimes feel people are mumbling or not speaking clearly? Do you ind it dificult to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded room? If so you might be interested in some recent indings.

The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural, in which the inner ear becomes damaged. Sound travels through the ear canal, the ear drum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear, and is transmitted to the inner ear (cochlea). As sound-generated vibrations enter the cochlea, they cause microscopic hair cells to vibrate, which in-turn transmit neuro-electrical impulses to the brain. When these hair cells become damaged, they cannot vibrate in the appropriate way. The resulting impulses to the brain are dampened or garbled, making comprehension dificult or impossible. Damage to hair cells is irreparable. But compensation is possible.

It took years for your brain to learn to interpret the meaning of sounds. If the neurons that carry signals to the brain are experiencing prolonged lack of stimulation because of damaged hair cells (auditory deprivation), they degenerate, leaving dead regions where certain sound frequencies can no longer be interpreted. In other words, “use it or lose it” applies to hearing

State owes Belvidere landlords $40,000 for lease

BELVIDERE – Secretary of State Jesse White’s office owes $40,000 in unpaid rent to a landlord for office space in Belvidere.

Billy and Diana Toft decided not to renew the lease with the state when it expired in December 2011, the Rockford Register Star reported. They said that starting in 2009, rent payments from the secretary of state began arriving sporadically as Illinois’ revenue lagged.

The secretary of state, which uses the building as a driver’s license facility, continued to pay on “holdover lease” status but has paid nothing since June 2013.

Spokesman Dave Druker said state law prohibits rental payments without a written lease and told The Associated Press that officials have kept an office there because the Tofts have repeatedly said they want the secretary of state to stay, but then won’t provide a lease.

Nonetheless, Druker said, White’s office is aggressively seeking new space in Belvidere, but without a lease.

The only way the Tofts can get paid is by filing a complaint with the Illinois Court of Claims, which is run by the secretary of state’s office. Druker said the office will not challenge the lawsuit.

“We want [them] to get paid,” Druker said.

Under age 21? No buying cigarettes in Evanston

EVANSTON – An ordinance banning the sale of cigarettes to anyone younger than 21 took effect in Evanston on Saturday, making the health-conscious Chicago suburb the first city in Illinois to do so.

The ordinance is aimed at curb-

ing teen smoking. Local officials say they realize it will not tamp out smoking by young people, but they want to make it harder for them, WBBM-TV in Chicago reported.

“Instead of walking across the street to get a tobacco product from my retailer, now I have to go to my car and travel somewhere,” city health official Carl Caneva said. “That’s putting an obstacle in place.”

Dr. Tim Sanborn, a member of Evanston’s Health Advisory Council, said 90 percent of smokers start smoking before they turn 21.

“If you can help decrease the risk of those adolescents starting smoking, there’s a greater chance they won’t smoke when they’re adults,” said Sanborn, a cardiologist on the staff at NorthShore University Health System.

New signs were to be posted in cigarette retailers, announcing the change in law.

At least 40 municipalities nationwide have raised the age to buy tobacco to 21. Studies show that about 10 percent of Chicago teens smoke – the lowest level in history.

Chicago house could be heaviest ever moved

CHICAGO – Officials say the move of an 1888 mansion from Chicago’s historic Prairie Avenue could be a record-breaker.

The Harriet Rees House is moving one block to make way for the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority’s entertainment district, which will include a 10,000-seat arena and hotel.

Movers Butley & Andrews – founded in 1891 – say it could be the heaviest house moved in U.S. history.

Riding on 32 massive motorized dollies, the 762-ton house is 95 feet long, 25 feet wide and 72 feet

high.

Weather permitting, the move will occur Nov. 11 and 12.

The home was built for the widow of a real estate innovator. It stood near homes built by George Pullman and Marshall Field.

Drivers can use the website to change an address, register to become an organ and tissue donor

Chicago crews planted 6,600 trees in 2014

CHICAGO – City crews planted more than 6,600 trees throughout Chicago in 2014.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office says the total exceeds what officials originally expected to plant by 300.

In a statement, Emanuel says the plantings will help maintain the “urban canopy’s vibrancy for generations to come.” Officials estimate the city has 3.5 million trees.

The mayor’s office says the plantings help the environment as well as increase property values.

The office also says that next year the plan is to plant even more trees. It explains the city’s budget next year will allow the planting of about 7,800 trees.

2 Americans held in North Korea whisked back home

By KEN DILANIAN and MATTHEW PENNINGTON The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Two Americans held by North Korea were on their way home Saturday after their release was secured through a secret mission by the top U.S. intelligence official to the reclusive Communist country.

Matthew Miller of Bakersfield, California, and Kenneth Bae of Lynnwood, Washington, were flying back to the West Coast with James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, according to U.S. officials. Clapper was the highest-ranking American to visit Pyongyang in more than a decade.

It was the latest twist in the fitful relationship between the Obama administration and the young North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, whose approach to the U.S. has shifted back and forth from defiance to occasional conciliation.

And it was an anomalous role for Clapper, an acerbic retired general who doesn’t typically do diplomacy.

“It’s a wonderful day for them and their families,” President Barack Obama said at the White House following his announcement of his pick for attorney general. “Obviously we are very grateful for their safe return. And I appreciate Director Clapper doing a great job on what was obviously a challenging mission.”

U.S. officials did not immediately provide details about the circumstances of the Americans’ release, including whether Clapper met with Kim or other senior North Korean officials. They said the timing was not related to Obama’s imminent trip to China, Myanmar and Australia.

A senior administration official said Clapper carried a brief message from Obama indicating that Clapper was his personal envoy to bring the two Americans home. The official spoke on a condition of anonymity without authorization to speak on the record.

But analysts who study North Korea said the decision to free Bae and Miller now from long prison terms probably was a bid by that country to ease pressure in connection with its human rights record. A recent U.N. report documented rape, torture, executions and forced labor in the North’s network of prison camps, accusing the government of “widespread, systematic and gross” human rights violations.

North Korea seems worried that Kim could be accused in the International Criminal Court, said Sue Mi Terry, a former senior intelligence analyst now at Columbia University.

“The North Koreans seem to be obsessed over the human rights issue,” she said. “This human rights thing is showing itself to be an unexpected leverage for the U.S.”

Spectators walk alongside balloons of the art project ‘Lichtgrenze 2014’ (meaning ‘lightborder 2014’) in Berlin, Germany, Friday. The light installation featuring 8,000 luminous white balloons commemorates the division of Berlin, where the 25th anniversary of the fall of the wall is marked with numerous events on the weekend.

East Berliners were jamming the first crossing.

Border guards had received no orders to let anyone cross, but gave up trying to hold back the crowds. By midnight, all the border crossings in the city were open.

East Germany’s then-leader, Egon Krenz, later said the plan was to allow free travel only the next morning so

citizens could line up properly to get exit visas. But with the leadership’s control over the border well and truly lost, Germany was soon on the road to reunification less than a year later, on Oct. 3, 1990.

Since then, some 1.5 to 2 trillion euros ($1.9 to $2.5 trillion) has gone into rebuilding the once-dilapidated east.

Much has changed beyond recognition, though some inequalities persist.

Wages and pensions remain lower, and unemployment higher, in the east than the west. Many eastern areas saw their population drop as people headed west for jobs, something that is only now showing signs of turning around.

gration enforcement is falling apart in the courts.

A ruling Friday that struck down the state’s 2005 immigrant smuggling law marks the latest in a string of restrictions placed by the courts on Arizona’s effort to get local police to take action on illegal immigration. The smuggling law, like similar state statutes, was tossed because a judge concluded it conflicted with the federal government’s immigration powers.

“There may be some broad sympathy within a constituency for these laws, but that constituency isn’t enough to overcome the problems those laws pose,” Peter Spiro, a Temple University law professor who specializes in immigration law.

For years in Arizona, many officials resisted suggestions that local and state police agencies confront illegal immigration, long considered the sole province of the federal government. But the notion gained political traction as voters grew frustrated over the state’s status as the nation’s then-busiest immigrant smuggling hub and over what critics said was inadequate border protection by Washington.

tion is muted: Meth use remains high, but people are increasingly turning to cheaper, imported Mexican meth rather than making their own.

Meth lab busts and seizures are down 40 percent or more in states that traditionally lead the country in the undesirable category, narcotics experts told The Associated Press.

Enforcement actions and stricter laws are partly responsible, but the meth now coming through Mexican cartel pipelines is so cheap and pure that it is supplanting meth made in homes or soda bottles inside cars. The cartels have even expanded their meth reach to rural areas and small towns.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Obama says Lynch will carry on equal justice WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama introduced his choice for attorney general Saturday as an accomplished prosecutor from New York City who will carry on a “fierce commitment to equal justice.”

Obama argued at a White House ceremony that it’s “pretty hard to be more qualified” for the job of attorney general than Brooklyn federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch.

The 55-year-old Lynch would be the first African-American woman to serve as attorney general. She would replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder, who also was at Saturday’s announcement and was

the first black head of the Justice Department.

Lynch said she was humbled and thrilled at the prospect of leading “the only Cabinet department named for an ideal.”

Republicans have promised tough scrutiny of Obama’s pick after years of battles with Holder, who is close to Lynch and appointed her as chair of a committee that advises him on policy.

Another immigration law in Arizona struck down PHOENIX – Arizona’s frustrations over federal enforcement of the state’s border with Mexico spawned a movement nearly a decade ago to have local police confront illegal immigration. Now, the state’s experiment in immi-

BERLIN – Germany on Sunday celebrates the 25th anniversary of the night the Berlin Wall fell, a pivotal moment in the collapse of communism and the start of the country’s emergence as the major power at the heart of Europe.

A nine-mile chain of lighted balloons along the former border will be released into the air early Sunday evening – around the time on Nov. 9, 1989, when a garbled announcement by a senior communist official set off the chain of events that brought down the Cold War’s most potent symbol.

The opening of East Germany’s fortified frontier capped months of ferment across eastern and central Europe that had already ushered in Poland’s first post-communist prime minister and prompted Hungary to cut open its border fence. The hard-line leadership in East Berlin faced mounting pressure from huge protests and an exodus of citizens via other communist countries.

The collapse of the Wall, which had divided the city for 28 years, was “a point of no return ... from there, things headed toward a whole new world order,” said Axel

Klausmeier, the director of the city’s main Wall memorial.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, who grew up in East Germany, is opening an overhauled museum Sunday at the site – home to one of the few surviving sections of the Wall.

Merkel, 60, who was then a physicist and entered politics as communism crumbled, recalls the feeling of being stuck behind East Germany’s border.

“Even today when I walk through the Brandenburg Gate, there’s a residual feeling that this wasn’t possible for many years of my life, and that I had to wait 35 years to have this feeling of freedom,” Merkel said last week. “That changed my life.”

The future chancellor was among the thousands who poured westward hours after the ruling Politburo’s spokesman, Guenter Schabowski, off-handedly announced at a televised news conference that East Germans would be allowed to travel to West Germany and West Berlin.

Pressed on when that would take effect, Schabowski seemed uncertain but said: “To my knowledge, this is immediately, without delay.”

Soon, Western media were reporting that East Germany was opening the border and

Dear Mr. Berko: Would you recommend Allete, which pays 4.3 percent? I think this might be a good stock to put $20,000 from a certificate of deposit that came due yesterday. It’s a utility stock, and utility stocks are supposed to be safe investments. My wife wants me to buy Verizon because her brother works for that company in Duluth, Minnesota, and because we already own 50 shares. What should I do? – EP, Rochester, Minn.

Dear EP: “Allete” is a rather froufrou name to paint on all those utility trucks.

I can’t imagine what was wrong with the name Minnesota Power. But considering society’s zest for tattoos, Facebook/Twitter and body piercing, it seems that dumb is the new normal. “Allete,” a French word meaning “winged,” also is a popular name Parisian mothers give their baby girls. And although this Allete ain’t a baby girl, its disappointing stock performance this year suggests it’s managed by one.

Allete has been nominated (by me) as one of the poorest-performing electric utility stocks in 2014. Utility stocks have increased their values by an average of 10 percent this year, but Allete’s share price has managed to remain the same. And why those bozos in Duluth changed the name to Allete (ALE-$52) is an enigma that not even the angels in heaven understand – however, its ticker symbol could be a clue.

Actually, I like the company. I admire its beautiful, cold, rugged 26,000-squaremile service area that keeps 146,000 customers in northeastern Minnesota warm in the wintertime. However, this area is rich in mineral deposits, so 50 percent of ALE’s revenues derive from industrial customers, including timber companies, paper-producing companies and companies that mine and process taconite (low-grade iron ore).

Revenues in the past decade have grown by 40 percent, to about $1.1 billion this year. Earnings gained nicely in that period, from $1.35 a share to $2.75, while

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko the dividend advanced by 60 percent, from $1.25 to $1.96. Those are good numbers. However, in that same period, ALE’s long-term debt ratio increased 35 percent, while return on shareholder equity and common equity declined by 20 percent and 60 percent, respectively.

Management may need a little help here. Still, stronger earnings are in store for next year. Wall Street guidance for 2015 suggests that ALE will earn $3 on revenues of $1.21 billion and boost the dividend to $2.05. And by 2017, as the aforementioned projects gain traction, shareholders can expect revenues of $1.4 billion, earnings of $3.75 and a dividend of $2.45.

So I’m comfortable buying 100 shares of ALE. But keep your wife happy and increase your ownership of Verizon (VZ-$50) to 150 shares. VZ’s $130 billion acquisition of Vodafone Group will be immediately accretive to its bottom line. VZ appears to be on a run and has reported double-digit earnings increases for the past 11 quarters. Its 110 million wireless customers (the most loyal in the business) account for 70 percent of VZ’s $126 billion in revenues, and this Vodafone purchase practically guarantees strong future growth.

The $2.12 dividend yields 4.3 percent, which management should be able to grow by about 5 percent yearly for the foreseeable future.

If you buy 100 shares of ALE and VZ, you’ll have $10,000 remaining, which might be invested in Fidelity Select Health Care Portfolio (FSPHX-$227). Certainly, unimpeded and explosively higher health care spending will make FSPHX an exceptionally profitable long- and short-term investment.

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

STILL GOOD FRIENDS

New Lenox veteran’s 46-year search for fellow Marines finally leads to reunion

By MAUVERNEEN BLEVINS

“We all experienced the same thing. There was not much to say.”

Shaw Media correspondent

N

EW LENOX – After being discharged from the U.S. Marines in April 1968, Clyde Collins, 67, of New Lenox, spent a lot of time thinking about the Marines he had met in Vietnam, people who thought and behaved like he did.

“It seemed like when I came back, everything and everybody had changed,” Collins said.

So Collins decided to look for two fellow Marines who had become his good friends.

Little did Collins know the search would take 46 years before a reunion became a reality.

Collins, who grew up in Joliet’s Ridgewood neighborhood and enlisted in the Marines at age 19, was assigned to a squad led by Daniel Perez, who was only a few months older than Collins, he said.

Three weeks later Jim Adams, also 19, joined the squad. The three had different backgrounds, but for whatever reason, Collins said, they connected and spent their free time together.

“He helped me a lot when I became a squad leader,” Collins said of Perez. “He was the type of guy who remained calm.”

Several times, Perez said, they were in “tight spots.”

Once during a fight, a fellow Marine was killed. Whenever anyone tried to retrieve his body off the bridge where he was killed, snipers shot at them. Finally, Collins and Adams ran out and dragged him back.

“Over there our lives were in each other’s hands,” Perez said. “You form a special bond.”

Eventually their tours of duty ended and they were discharged. Coincidentally, Collins ran into both Adams and Perez on his way home.

He saw Adams, who had been transferred, at a club in Da Nang. Six days later, on a base in El Toro, California, Collins

ran into Perez in a restaurant.

All Collins knew when he decide to reunite with his

comrades was that Perez was from Texas and Adams was from Indiana. For more than

25 years, Collins made numerous trips to Indiana, even working there for 10 years, he said.

Sometimes, he went just to look for Adams and sometimes he and his wife would go to Shipshewana or to the Covered Bridge Festival. He always asked people if they knew Adams. No luck.

During this time, Collins talked to other guys from his platoon, finding some of them via websites set up for veterans. But Perez and Adams weren’t registered, and no one had any word on them, he said.

In 1993, Collins stopped at a bar in Elkhart, Indiana, and asked for a phone book.

The bartender, hearing his story, told him a local VFW had a roster of Vietnam vets.

Collins checked with them. No Adams. Discouraged, Collins gave up.

Then, in December 2013, Collins and his wife Kathy went to a casino in New Buffalo, Michigan. Collins was losing, so decided to take a

walk. He struck up a conversation with a man wearing a Vietnam cap. The man was from Elkhart.

Collins, anticipating another disappointment, mentioned Adams to this man. Collins said the man then shared that he and Adams had breakfast every Thursday with other Vietnam veterans. So Collins gave the man his phone number. A week later, Adams called Collins.

“We talked a bit, trying to be sure we had the right people,” Collins said.

Adams, who said he was “tickled” to hear from Collins, gave Collins Perez’s phone number, adding he had not talked to Perez in years. Collins called anyway.

“The first time I talked to them,” Collins said, “the hair on the back of my neck kind of stood up.”

The three veterans arranged to meet Aug. 4 at a campground in Seneca.

Collins drove to Indiana to pick up Adams – whom he had already visited with in July – and then headed to O’Hare International Airport to pick up Perez.

Although Collins said he would not have recognized either of his buddies after all these years, Perez said he immediately recognized Collins.

During the four days at the campground, they looked at photos and talked about their families and their jobs.

They spoke little about the war.

“We all experienced the same thing,” Adams said.

“There was not much to say.”

Perez, who called the meeting “therapeutic” and “just like old times,” believed the reunion proved these men were, “still good friends even after that lapse of time.”

On Friday, September 26, 2014, Kelly Dawn Super married Bryan David Talkie during a morning blessings ceremony on the south shores of a paradise beach in Kauai, Hawaii.

The bride is the daughter of Gerolene and Roger Randolph of Minooka, IL, and Jose and Louise Olvera of Shorewood, IL. The bridegroom is the son of Kathleen and David Talkie of Joliet, IL. The happy couple exchanged vows, led by Todd Fuerte, who graciously officiated the wedding, on Kauai’s sandy shores. Kelly and Bryan’s wedding attendants were their friends Leanne and Eric Wills, and Jillian Carlberg and Jim Glasgow, cousin of the groom.

For her beach wedding, the bride carried a pink and purple floral bouquet, and she wore a gown of ivory satin and lace encrusted with crystals and pearls; her two bridesmaids who wore purple sweetheart neckline dresses gave the bride in marriage.

The groom wore ivory island linen slacks and matching linen tunic shirt and his groomsmen wore lavender linen shirts and light slacks. No one wore shoes!

As a special point of their island wedding ceremony, Kelly and Bryan exchanged traditional pink and white Dendrobium Hawaiian leis; then later, after their ceremony, the wedding party celebrated the special event by attending a Hawaiian garden Luau and dance.

Kelly works as an RN, BSN employed with Morris Hospital in their Operating Room.

Bryan is the owner-founder of “My Guys Know How,” a residential/commercial audio, video, and technology design and installation firm. The new Mr. and Mrs. Talkie live with their family in Minooka, IL. adno=0297075

Ill. Army National Guard’s 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team in multinational training exercise The HERALD-NEWS Soldiers from the Illinois Army National Guard’s 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (33rd IBCT) in Urbana, and the 244th Digital Liaison Detachment in Chicago, participated in the largest multinational military training exercise in Polish history, Sept.

24 to Oct. 4.

Anaconda 14 involved nearly 13,000 soldiers from nine nations throughout the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and was conducted at various sites throughout Poland.

The 33rd IBCT participated

in the event through a tactical operation center exercise from the Orzysz training area. The brigade worked closely with the 12th Mechanized Division from the Polish Army, as well as brigades from Lithuania and the Czech Republic.

Maj. Gen. Marek Mecherzynski, the commanding officer of the Polish Army’s 12th Mechanized Division, said the exercise tested unified operations between the nations involved.

The Illinois National Guard partnered with Poland more than 20 years ago. During the exercise the 33rd IBCT helped the brigade expand on that

partnership. Col. Mark Jackson of Frankfort, 33rd IBCT commander, said the Illinois soldiers learned lessons involving the partnership.

The exercise also gave the brigade a chance to collaborate with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team (BCT), 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) as two Soldiers from the 101st worked with the 33rd IBCT. This event marks the end of Jackson’s command of the 33rd IBCT. After the exercise, Jackson relinquished command of the 33rd IBCT to the new commander, Col. Henry S. Dixon of Chicago.

PSHS graduate completes Local alum gives back on way to Eagle Scout honors U.S. Navy basic training PLAINFIELD – Navy Seaman Amelia M. Guzman, daughter of Martin and Mary Beth Guzman of Plainfield, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes. She is a 2010 graduate of Plainfield South High School.

During the eight-week program, Guzman completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, as well as shipboard and aircraft safety.

An emphasis also was placed on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Its distinctly “Navy’’ flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.

LEMONT – Owen Doherty, Old Quarry Middle School Class of 2011, currently is completing the requirements needed to earn Eagle Scout rank from the Boy Scouts of America.

A school logo adorns the top of each sign and arrows direct visitors to each area of the building. District 113A updated the landscaping around the signs to complete the project.

Two-party rule is needed to fix Illinois

Rialto board clarifies comments

One-party rule has not been good for Illinois. Since 2003, Democrats have controlled both chambers of the General Assembly and the governor’s office.

In that time, this state’s fiscal situation has crumbled.

We spend too much. We tax too much. Our policies have forced too many job creators across state lines. With no checks and balances that a two-party system provides, Democratic leaders in state government have steered Illinois to the brink of financial insolvency.

Republicans have not been competitive statewide in part because they’ve alienated too many voters on issues other than fiscal ones.

With his win last week, Governor-elect Bruce Rauner has created a blueprint for fellow Republicans hoping to win

state or Congressional offices in Illinois.

Focus on matters of fiscal relevance; express a willingness to work in a bipartisan manner to fix real problems; and leave social issues “off the table,” as Rauner said time and again during his campaign.

Rauner defeated Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn by more than 160,000 votes. He won every Illinois county but Cook, and he did it by focusing on jobs, taxes, the economy, downsizing government, and working with legislators on both sides of the aisle to solve Illinois’ many issues.

Whenever he was asked about gay marriage, which became legal in Illinois this year, he refused to provide his personal view but said he would not work to change state law. He similarly said he

would not try to repeal medical marijuana even though he would not have signed the bill that legalized it.

Four years ago, downstate Republican Sen. Bill Brady was leading Quinn in most polling months before the gubernatorial election. But his voting record in the General Assembly and comments he made during his campaign suggested a far-right social agenda. It scared too many moderate Illinois voters away.

He lost by 32,000 votes despite Quinn’s poor record on jobs, taxes and the economy.

Of course, fiscally conservative yet socially moderate Republicans have to win their primaries before they can win a general election. If the GOP hopes to repeat Rauner’s success, it’s vital that moderate Republicans get out and vote in the primary.

The issue is not one of Republicans versus Democrats. More importantly, it is about effective government.

Politicians with their own radical agendas have little chance of accomplishing much in the current mess that is Illinois. Our state has enormous fiscal problems, and we need serious, fiscally minded legislators who can set aside the “party line” and focus on solving them.

When he takes office Jan. 12, 2015, Rauner will be the first Republican governor of Illinois since George Ryan left office in 2003. Voters elected him because they trust he can do a better job than Quinn in fixing Illinois’ numerous fiscal issues.

He and the Democratic-controlled General Assembly must work together toward that common goal.

TRICIA SIMPSON President, Rialto Square Theatre Foundation,

and RANDALL GREEN General Manager of Rialto Square Theatre In an article that appeared on page 2 of the Tuesday, Nov. 4, edition of The Herald-News, the story reported on comments made by Joliet City Council members regarding recent fiscal management decisions made by the Will County Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority (Rialto Square Theatre Board of Directors).

These comments, by themselves, paint a distorted picture of Rialto operations and intermittent economic challenges that face the theatre.

The WCMEAA was not able to clarify the information presented at the Council meeting so we offer the following: For accuracy purposes the WCMEAA withdrew $200,000 from excess earnings generated by the theatre’s Major Endowment.

This is un-restricted interest earned on the principle, which the WCMEAA is entitled to use at its discretion.

Ticket sales have not met projections over the past four months and these sales trends have been tracked and managed since July.

Specifically they include our Friends of the Parks Foundation members, select New Lenox residents, New Lenox Chamber of Commerce, Will and Grundy Counties Trade Council, New Lenox Mustangs, New Lenox Girls Softball, New Lenox Youth Football Association, New Lenox Soccer Association and New Lenox Rebels Baseball, as well as The Herald-News Editorial Board.

The Rialto theatre has invested in itself, not looking for handouts • RIALTO Continued from page 39 The downturn in ticket sales seems to be occurring throughout the state as economic conditions affect potential customer sales.

Similar sales issues are occurring at other performance venues throughout the state of Illinois.

The WCMEAA monitors and reviews Rialto operations and makes reports to the City of Joliet on revenue and expenses on a monthly basis.

Additionally, annual audits are supplied to the City as requested and required since we are a recipient of city funds granted annually. It should be noted, however, that these annual city grants are not mandated.

Indeed the recent revenue downturn was unexpected.

This phenomenon occasionally occurs and Rialto management has, with Board support, worked through these challenges. We expect this to be corrected in the near future.

The Rialto management team has demonstrated

careful decision making and thoughtful planning so as to provide efficient and effective management of this historic and important community resource. Over the past 18 months the WCMEAA and Rialto management has worked with City of Joliet leadership to create a Strategic Plan to address funding, facilities and programming. The City has been part of this process and has helped create the planning document which is now being implemented. Discussion of annual and long-term funding initiatives has been

part of this process and a proposal has been presented to the City for consideration.

Some people have characterized the Rialto has always having its hand out. While the City of Joliet has provided annual grants to support the theatre, the theatre also has raised millions of dollars, through the efforts of our Rialto Square Theatre Foundation and its Board of Directors. The funds have been invested in the building and amenities to ensure that the theatre, an economic development engine for Joliet, will

continue to serve the community for decades to come. We are doing our utmost to help ourselves but the challenges of operating this nonprofit organization requires the participation of many local resources.

We are committed to continue our efforts to oversee the operations of this community asset, to seek financial resources necessary to support the operations, its capital properties and to ensure that the community receives the highest return on the investment.

Broncos oust Hilltoppers, again

Fifth time in six years Montini has knocked JCA out of playoffs

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Montini did it again.

Trailing 13-10 after three quarters, the Broncos scored 17 fourth-quarter points and beat Joliet Catholic, 27-13, in the second round of the IHSA Class 5A football playoffs Saturday at ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

“Today, their front beat our front,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said. “Their defensive line and linebackers were outstanding.

We couldn’t block them. And late in the game, their offensive line beat our defensive line.”

The outcome marked the fifth time in six years that Montini has ousted JCA. The Broncos beat the Hilltoppers in state championships games in 2009 and 2011, the semifinals in 2012 and the quarterfinals in 2013.

As Sharp noted, however, “It’s not just us. How many state championship games have they been in during that time?”

The answer is five because Montini (8-3), after winning four straight, lost to Sacred Heart-Griffin, 38-28, in last year’s title game and now might have cleared its toughest hurdle in a bid for a sixth consecutive championship game appearance.

“They’ve got great players,” Sharp responded to a question of why Montini has JCA’s number. “We always give them their best games. This was the first time it didn’t come down to the last few seconds.”

JCA (8-3) had chances for more points on two occasions, but had to settle for Brian Bravo 20- and 37-yard field goals.

That proved costly.

The first, just before halftime, came after a 50-yard pop pass over the middle from “Hillcat” quarterback Michael Johnson to Harold Davis on a fourth-and-1 play from the JCA 29. The Hilltoppers got to a second-and-goal from the 4 and third-and-goal from the 3 but could not crack the end zone.

“We had a breakdown there

Joliet Catholic defensive back Luke Phalen returns a Montini fumble as Montini’s Sam Detmers makes the tackle Saturday during the IHSA Class 5A football playoffs at Joliet Memorial Stadium in Joliet. Joliet Catholic lost, 27-13. on our blocking,” Sharp said.

“We missed some tackles, missed some blocks, had some breakdowns in the red zone. All those little things are going to hurt you against a great team.

“Chris [Andriano, the Montini coach] told me afterward that this was their best game defensively. I don’t know how they could have played better defensively. But still, until it got away at the end, we were right there.”

The Hilltoppers also had a couple of plays go against them late in the third quarter, which changed the momentum for good.

After Bravo’s 37-yard field goal gave JCA a 13-10 lead with 1:21 remaining in the third quarter, Bravo booted the kickoff out of the end zone. On Montini’s next play, a jet sweep, Jeffrey Budz blew up the Montini ball carrier for a 5-yard loss at

Davis caught seven passes for 143 yards, including 55- and 50-yarders, but the Hilltoppers were unable to mount a consistent offense against the Montini defense. JCA netted 118 yards in 34 rushing attempts.

“My knee is better,” Earl said. “There were some things I couldn’t do, but it was OK. “The interceptions were all my fault. I was glad to be back but I didn’t play my part for us to win. I made too many mistakes.”

Earl entered in the second quarter and hit Davis with a 51yard pass over the middle on his first play.

“I give Cade a lot of credit,” Sharp said. “We had to go to him because we couldn’t get the running game going.”

That’s a credit to the Montini defense, plain and simple.

IHSA CLASS 7A SECOND-ROUND PLAYOFFS: PROVIDENCE 34, ST. RITA 3

Madej, defense lift Celtics over Mustangs

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shaw CHICAGO – If there were any doubts Friday night that Providence was the better team, Mike Madej erased them.

The Celtics’ junior safety picked up a rolling punt at his 10-yard line early in the third quarter. A couple of jukes and a burst of speed later, he circled the left side of the coverage and zipped down the sideline en route to a 90-yard touchdown return.

“When I turned the corner, I saw the punter there,” Madej said. “I thought, ‘He’s going to tackle me.’ I’m not sure how I got past him, I just did.”

Madej’s magic increased Providence’s 13-3 halftime lead to 20-3 and the Celtics cruised to a 34-3 victory Friday night over St. Rita in the second round of the IHSA Class 7A football playoffs.

“Mike is so smart and elusive,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said of Madej. “He sees the field so well.”

“Our defense did not allow the big play, which happened the last time we played them, and anytime you get a score on special teams, it’s a big lift.”

Indeed, the Celtics’ defense ruled. Providence (10-1), which will entertain Wheaton Warrenville South next weekend in the quarterfinal, out-

Providence’s Michael Madej runs a kickoff back for a touchdown Friday during the third quarter against St. Rita during the second round of the IHSA Class 7A football playoff game at St. Rita High School in Chicago.

Providence defeated St. Rita, 34-3. scored St. Rita, 41-27, in the earlier meeting that featured explosive offense from both sides. This was different.

The Celtics’ defensive alignment of ends Luis Vasquez and Jake Rost, nose tackle Tyler Schiemann, outside linebackers Emmet Trost and Dan Miller, inside backer Brendan O’Hara and Jimmy Sharkey, cornerbacks Jack Pell and Zack Pych and safeties Madej and Erik Car-

roll limited the Mustangs (74) to 139 total yards, 50 in the second half, and eight first downs.

“We knew if we shut down their running game, that they would have to make some decisions they didn’t want to make,” said Rost, who had two sacks and a few hurries.

“After Mike’s [Madej’s] punt return, we knew they had to make quick decisions, and that helped us.”

“We changed things up in the defensive front four or five weeks ago,” said Vasquez, another disruptive force. “What happened tonight is we were allowed to be the athletes we can be. We had no responsibility except to go get the ball.”

O’Hara delivered a series of key hits from his linebacker post, and Pell was primarily responsible for shutting down St. Rita standout receiver Brandon Gaston, who was

targeted often and made six catches, but for only 38 yards.

“All our DBs played well,” Madej said. “Jack Pell did a great job locking down on Gaston, who is the best athlete we have played against.”

Providence quarterback Justin Hunniford completed 12 of 25 passes for 226 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown strike to Miles Boykin moments after Madej’s electrifying punt return and a 23yard toss to Mike Beller for the final points. Boykin finished with five catches for 96 yards, Mike Markasovic contributed 37- and 41-yard receptions on pass-and-run plays that set up Hunniford’s 31and 24-yard field goals. Richie Warfield rushed for 108 yards in 14 carries.

“Warfield was outstanding again,” Coglianese said of the sophomore who, like Boykin, sat out the previous two weeks with injury. “The few times we got him the ball, he got positive yards.”

“Our line did a great job opening holes,” Warfield said.

“That makes my job easier.”

A nice dose of offensive fireworks aside, Hunniford credited the Celtics’ defense.

“The defense did a tremendous job, especially the DBs,” he said “They got called out before the playoffs by a newspaper. That motivated them the past two weeks.”

IHSA CLASS 4A SECOND-ROUND PLAYOFFS: COAL CITY 25, ST. EDWARD 20

Coalers advance behind big day from senior running back STAFF REPORT ELGIN – Coal City senior running back Jack Dibble keeps piling up the yardage.

His escort service is not doing a bad job, either.

Dibble rushed for 304 yards in 40 carries and scored all four touchdowns Saturday as the Coalers downed previously unbeaten St. Edward, 25-20, in the second round of the Class 4A state football playoffs.

“Nothing fancy. Everyone knows what we are going to

do,” Coal City coach Lenny Osen said. “We are going to give the ball to Jack and let him run behind our line. ‘Here it is, you have to come and stop it.’ ” Dibble scored on a 2-yard run in the first half, which ended with the Coalers (9-2) ahead, 7-6. He scored from 28 and 33 yards in the third quarter, when St. Edward (10-1) moved ahead, 20-19. His 17-yard run with about eight minutes remaining in the game accounted for the final points.

“We’ve been getting better and better,” Onsen said. “Our offensive line is jelling and Jack is running very well.”

Dibble went over 2,200 yards for the season and is averaging more than 200 yards a game.

On the other side of the ball, defensive back Corey Jurzak had a strong game with eight solo tackles, 10 total stops and an interception he returned 23 yards. Paul Jones made 10 tackles, four for loss. Defensive end Kevin Myers had a

big sack and caused a fumble for a fourth-quarter turnover.

“They have a running back who had 280-some yards last week and we held him to 32,” Onsen said. “They threw the ball a lot, and we really stepped it up defensively, played extremely well.”

The Coal City defense did its thing after Dibble’s goahead touchdown, and then the Coalers ran out the final four-plus minutes with Dibble following left tackle Andrew Mathena, left guard Kurtis

Smith, center Matt Long, right guard Alec Leasure and right tackle L.J. Lightner.

“We wore them down in the fourth quarter,” Onsen said.

Next up for Coal City is a home quarterfinal game against Interstate Eight Large adversary Manteno. In Week 7, the Coalers lost at Manteno, 24-23.

“After the tough loss at Manteno, we really put it together in Weeks 8 and 9,” Onsen said. “I’m really happy with where we are.”

IHSA CLASS 5A SECOND-ROUND PLAYOFFS: MORRIS 35, MAHOMET-SEYMOUR 23

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

Morris sophomore Keagan Sobol runs for a first down against the Mahomet-Seymour Bulldogs during a Class 5A second-round playoff game in Morris on Saturday. Morris won, 35-23. as Joe Kenney completed two passes to Tom Kenney that covered 45 yards and, one play later, connected with Boyd Roberts for a 22-yard touchdown and a 14-7 Mahomet lead.

Early in the second quarter, Keagan Sobol ran 17 yards for a touchdown and Morris tied it at 14. Mahomet answered with

a 40-yard touchdown pass from Joe Kenney to Tom Kenney, but Morris’ Nick Kier blocked the extra point, keeping the score at 20-14.

Fourth-seeded Mahomet-Seymour (8-3) got a 23-yard field goal from Matthew Prather with 3:14 to play in the first half to go ahead 23-14. Morris

pass to Andy Livingston got the ball to the Morris 5, but Zach Hansen sacked Joe Kenney for a 6-yard loss on thirdand-goal.

Kenney’s fourth-down pass fell incomplete, giving Morris the ball at its own 10 with 11:12 remaining.

The eight-seeded Redskins, who visit third-seeded Peoria (10-1) next week, put the game away, draining nearly 7:30 off the clock to go 90 yards, all on the ground, capped by Matt Feiden’s 1-yard plunge with 3:41 remaining.

Morris finished with 324 yards rushing, as Jake Walker led with 143 yards and Keagan Sobol had 108.

“We felt our line would be the difference,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “The offensive line did a great job opening holes and our defensive line got a lot of pressure on their quarterback. That last drive of ours was a sign of all the hard work our linemen put in during the offseason.”

IHSA CLASS 8A SECOND-ROUND PLAYOFFS: BOLINGBROOK 31, OSWEGO 28 (OT)

Overtime field goal nets Raiders win over Panthers

By JEFF DEGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent BOLINGBROOK – On a cold, windy Saturday night, the Bolingbrook Raiders and Oswego Panthers put on quite a show for the fans as the Raiders advanced to the quarterfinal of the IHSA Class 8A football playoffs with a 31-28 overtime win.

The past two seasons, Bolingbrook (8-3) lost in second round matchups. The last time they advanced this far was the state championship in 2011.

Bolingbrook looked in total control when Quincy Woods ran 19 yards on a right-side sweep from the quarterback position to take a 28-14 lead with 11:14 to go in the game.

Oswego answered that score with a 13-play drive that covered 64 yards and chewed up 5:30 of the final quarter. Panthers quarterback Steven Frank ran a sneak for the 1-yard touchdown to get to within 28-21. On that drive, Frank converted a big fourth-and-10 play with a 14yard hookup to receiver Zach-

ery West to the 1-yard line.

With 6:43 to go, Bolingbrook took control of the ball at its 20yard line and methodically ran the ball down the field. With 2:00 to go, the Raiders converted a fourth-and-1 at the Oswego 25-yard line. They could do no more as quarterback Adam Klein was sacked on fourth down and Oswego took over at the 35 with 57 seconds left.

Frank led the Panthers down the field, going 3 for 4 to get Oswego to the Raiders’ 14yard line with 0:12 to go. Frank

then hit Ryan Hennessy over the middle to tie the game, 2828.

Oswego took the first offensive possession in overtime and on the second play, Woods tipped a pass in the end zone and Tuf Borland made the interception.

Bolingbrook then took control with Woods back at quarterback. He ran two keepers to get the ball to the 3-yard line.

Adam Klein came in and nailed the game-winning field.

Woods was all over the field

for the Raiders as the senior played quarterback, running back, wide receiver, defensive back, and returned punts and kickoffs.

“I just read the quarterback’s eyes and jumped the route,” Woods said of the defensive play in overtime. “I tipped the ball and Tuf [Borland] was there to pick it off.

“I do what I’m asked to help this team. We are a family and after losing the last two years in the second round, this feels great for all of us.”

MORRIS – Although there were 58 points scored, defense ruled most of the game Saturday in Morris’ 35-23 win over Mahomet-Seymour in the second round of the IHSA Class 5A football playoffs.

Morris (7-4) received the opening kickoff but, on the Redskins’ third play from scrimmage, a pass from Griffin Sobol bounced off a receiver’s hands and into the arms of Mahomet-Seymour’s Tom Kenney, who returned it 33 yards for a touchdown and a quick 7-0 Bulldog lead.

Morris then went threeand-out, and Keagan Sobol’s punt was downed at the Mahomet-Seymour 4-yard line.

On the Bulldogs’ second play from scrimmage, a snap was botched and Keagan Sobol recovered it in the end zone for a Morris touchdown.

Mahomet-Seymour’s offense then got things going,

got a touchdown from Griffin Sobol on a 1-yard sneak with 35 seconds to go until halftime and went into intermission trailing 23-21.

“We knew their quarterback was a good player,” said Morris’ Zach Hansen, who had three sacks. “We wanted to put pressure on him to help our defensive backs. We were able to do that in the second half and got the second-half shutout.”

While the Redskins’ defense shut down the Bulldogs offense after halftime, the Morris offensive line took over on the other side of the ball. Anchored by Hansen at center, the Redskins drove 69 yards on 10 plays on their first drive of the second half.

Griffin Sobol hit Chase Hansen with a 9-yard touchdown pass to cap the drive, and then ran in a two-point conversion for a 29-23 Redskins’ lead.

Late in the third quarter, Roberts intercepted a Griffin Sobol pass and set the Bulldogs up at the Morris 36. A 31-yard

IHSA CLASS 7A SECOND-ROUND PLAYOFFS: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 47, REAVIS 14

Griffins get clock running, whip Reavis

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – While it may have taken Lincoln-Way East a little longer to get going than it hoped in Friday’s IHSA Class 7A second round football playoff game with Reavis, when you have a running clock midway through the third quarter, things can’t be all that bad.

The Griffins advanced to the quarterfinals for the third year in a row with a 47-14 win over the Rams. They’ll be on the road against either Mount Carmel or Belleville West.

East (10-1) won its 10th straight game after expanding an 18-0 halftime lead by scoring three touchdowns in the first 6:12 of the third quarter to build a 40-0 advantage.

“To come out here in the second round of the playoffs and finish a game like that is pretty good,” said East coach Rob Zvonar, whose program is in the quarterfinals for the eighth time in 14 years. “Overall we’re pleased, but we know that we’ll have to be better than that from here on out. Credit to Reavis for competing hard and to our guys for staying steady and kind of having a workmanlike performance, but sometimes you have to have those.”

The Griffins grabbed a 15-0 lead less than seven minutes into the game after Liam Mor-

Lincoln-Way East’s Liam Morrissey (center) runs for a touchdown Friday against Reavis High School in the second round of the Class 7A playoffs at Lincoln-Way East High School in Frankfort. East won, 47-14. rissey (26 carries for 198 yards) scored on a 6-yard run and Mike Weller added a 23-yard touchdown run on a keeper that came right after a minus-2-yard punt.

While East’s defense was effective, limiting Reavis (8-3) to

minus-15 yards on the ground and only 100 total yards in its first 10 possessions prior to the running clock, the offense went four straight series where all it could muster was Nick Jenig’s 30-yard field goal.

Things picked up after the break, however, as the Griffins received scoring runs of 38 and 2 yards from Morrissey, who also added a conversion run, to grab a 33-0 advantage.

“We prepared for this week

just like any week and came into it ready,” Morrissey said.

“We were a little slow in the second quarter but we definitely picked it up and finished strong.

Of course, we’ve got to change some things and pick it up for the next round of the playoffs.

But I think that we’ll have a good week of practice and we’ll be good for next week.”

One play after Morrissey scored his third touchdown, Brian Burns intercepted a pass and returned it 37 yards to make it 40-0 with 5:48 left in the third quarter.

The Rams, who were in the playoffs for the first time since 2007, responded with two scores early in the final quarter. Isiah Alpuche tossed a 9-yard touchdown pass to Marc McClinton and following a successful onside kick, Khalid Norvell scored on a 6-yard run.

East closed the scoring when Ed Mahoney ran all six plays on a 59-yard drive, capping things with a 4-yard run.

“This will most likely be our last home game so it was fun going out like this,” Weller said.

“Our defense is doing a great job of stopping the other team’s offense and our offense has been doing a great job and the O-line has been pushing really well and we’ve had a great running game with Liam. Hopefully, we’ll be able to keep this going down the road.”

IHSA CLASS 6A SECOND-ROUND PLAYOFFS: RICHARDS 35, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 27

Warriors’ season ends against Bulldogs in thriller

By KEVIN RYAN Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – If none of the college football games were appealing to you during Saturday afternoon, the Class 6A second-round football playoff match-up between Lincoln-Way West and Richards would have filled the void.

With both teams entering at 9-1, one would have expected the game to go down to the wire and to no surprise it did with defending 6A runner-up Richards defeating the Warriors, 35-27.

“It was a story of two halves,” West coach Dave Ernst

said. “The first half we put up 20 on them and the second half we only scored seven.”

West started the game with a nine-play, 60-yard drive that ended with Adam Knerr (13 carries for 44 yards) scoring from 1 yard out for a 6-0 lead. The extra point was blocked.

The Bulldogs, however, answered West’s fast start as Illinois State recruit Hasan Muhammad-Rogers (16 of 25 passing for 399 yards) led Richards on a 90-yard drive and found Ryan Willett in the back of the end zone to tie the game, 6-6. The extra point was no good.

The first-half fireworks

didn’t stop there as Warriors running back Gabe Montalvo (24 carries for 136 yards) dove into the end zone on a second effort, and quarterback Connor Lowman (15 of 24 passing for 156 yards) threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Joe Shirley.

“The first half we were able to control the ball and control the tempo,” Ernst said.

Muhammad-Rogers and the Bulldogs did answer the Warriors as he threw a 65-yard touchdown pass to Pat Doyle to go into halftime down, 20-12.

The Bulldogs continued their offensive momentum in

the second half as they opened the third quarter with touchdown passes of 57 and 80 yards from Muhammad-Rogers to Spencer Tears and Romeo Johnson to take a 26-20 lead.

“The guy has a cannon,” Ernst said. “We were worried about him running and just dropping back to pass. He’s a very talented kid.”

The senior quarterback continued to impress in the fourth quarter as he broke through a possible sack to threw a strike Romello Boykin (five receptions for 88 yards) for a 3-yard touchdown play. Richards then went for the two point conver-

sion as Muhammad-Rogers jumped over a West defender to make it 34-20.

With being down 14 with less than 10 minutes left, the Warriors did rebound on a 2-yard touchdown run by Montalvo and were on the verge to tying the game. But an incomplete pass on fourth-and-10 from Richards’ 33 with 1:34 left ended the Warriors’ season.

“I’m proud to have my name on the same roster with these guys,” Ernst said. “They never quit and they’re going to be successful in whatever they do from here on out. We just came up a little bit short at the end.”

IHSA CLASS 3A SECOND-ROUND PLAYOFFS: WILMINGTON 40, MONTICELLO 0

Defense sacks Wildman six times, gets three interceptions in dominant win

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent

Mann got the Wildcat sack-fest started in the first quarter.

“We played a great game on defense,” Kirchner said. “We put a ton of pressure on Monticello’s quarterback. We all work together, which helped me get my three sacks. Our goal coming into the game was to give Wildman no time to throw and no place to run.”

Meanwhile, the vaunted Wildcat ground attack chewed up 346 yards led by senior Nick Williams, who had 141 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Junior Nick Hawkins ran for 117 yards and had a 27-yard touchdown run to make it 14-0 in the second quarter.

“I again owe it to my offensive line for opening big holes for all of us, all day,” McWilliams said. “This was a great

team victory. The defense played great.”

Sophomore Owen Weaver got Wilmington (11-0) on the scoreboard first when he picked up a fumble on a fake punt and raced 47-yards.

Weaver also blocked a punt.

“I just scooped up the ball up and took off for the end zone,” Weaver said.

“We were really amped up today,” Hawkins said.”We played great defensively and our offensive line did a great job blocking.”

Senior quarterback/defensive back Mason Southall scored from a yard out to make it 21-0 at half.

“We had a great week of practice getting ready for Wildman,” Southall said.

“Coach Reents had us very

well prepared for their air attack. With the great pressure from the defensive line and the outstanding job by our secondary, we really shut them down.”

McWilliams’ first touchdown from 2 yards out made it 27-0 in the third quarter.

McWilliams added a 3-yard run for a score in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Jeff Treadman scored the final touchdown with 2:44 left.

“The offensive line really blocked well,” Reents said.

“Nick McWilliams and Nick Hawkins ran hard. Offense, defense. special teams, all played well. I have to give kudos to [Weaver] for his huge fumble recovery for a touchdown that ignited us to this victory.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ST. AMBROSE 10, ST. FRANCIS 7

Saints get stung by Bees for their fifth straight loss SUBMITTED REPORTS DAVENPORT, Iowa – In a defensive struggle that featured only one offensive touchdown, host St. Ambrose edged St. Francis, 10-7, in a nonconference football game Saturday at Brady Street Stadium.

The teams combined for fewer than 500 total yards, 258 for the Bees and 225 for St. Francis,

and each team advanced to the other’s red zone on only two occasions.

USF (4-6) took the lead on the third play from scrimmage when redshirt freshman Ryan Johnson intercepted a pass and returned it 58 yards to put the Saints on top 7-0. The interception was Johnson’s fourth, and his runback was USF’s fourth defensive touchdown of the sea-

straight loss and sixth in seven games, attempted field goals early in the second and third quarters, but both were unsuccessful.

The Saints sacked St. Ambrose quarterback Patrick Smith – who finished 13 of 25 for 127 yards – six times, twice each by junior Albert Cruse and sophomore Tim Smith. Cruse’s two sacks increased his career

total to 16.5, the third-highest in USF history and two shy of the school’s all-time record.

St. Ambrose brought down USF senior quarterback Ryne Van Gennep (Lincoln-Way East) on four occasions, twice

by Steve Laski. Van Gennep completed 13 of 26 attempts for 173 yards. Junior wideout Sheldon Magee caught four passes for 90 yards.

MONTICELLO – Monticello quarterback Brandon Wildman entered Saturday’s Class 3A second-round playoff game against unbeaten Wilmington having thrown for 2,991 yards and 31 touchdowns. He has been drawing interest from Michigan State and other Big Ten schools.

However, led by the Wildcats’ secondary and a ferocious pass rush from the defensive line, Wildman was held to 16 of 36 passes for 147 yards in Wilmington’s 40-0 victory. The Wildcats picked off Wildman three times and sacked him six times.

“It was an all-out tremendous defensive effort by the

kids,” Wilmington coach Jeff Reents said. “The defensive line put tremendous pressure on Wildman. The secondary was outstanding, totally shutting down a very good quarterback and a very quality team.”

The play of the Wildcat secondary – Mason Southall, Gavin Hawks, Tyler Brimer, Alex Zlomie, Austin Headrick and Steve Smock – was stupendous.

When Monticello receivers did catch a pass, they were punished by bone-crunching tackles. Brimer, Headrick and Smock had interceptions.

Senior defensive lineman Derek Kirchner followed up his two-sack game against Paxton-Buckley-Loda, with a three-sack performance against the Sages. Senior Joe

Indians offense sharp in win over Yorkville

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, November 9, 2014

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent LEMONT – Coach Bret Kooi didn’t think his offense executed with its usual sharpness, but the Indians had enough to beat Yorkville, 35-14, on Saturday in the second round of the Class 6A football playoffs.

“If you thought we were clicking, then you should see us when we are clicking,” Kooi said. “We did not play very well offensively.

“It’s not that we played extremely poor, but they did what smart football teams do.

They forced us to throw underneath and run the ball. Our kids did that and it was good,

but there are things we have to do communication-wise that we have to get better at.”

The Indians (11-0) will play at Richards next weekend in the 6A quarterfinal. Yorkville finished 8-3.

Lemont’s offense was aided by its defense. The Indians led, 7-0, with 3:37 to play in the first quarter when linebacker Frank Pignone intercepted the Foxes’ Nathan Scott at the Yorkville 32. On the next play, Indians quarterback Ryan Dawson hit receiver Steven Fleming with a 32-yard touchdown pass to put Lemont ahead, 14-0, with 1:27 to play in the first quarter.

The Foxes’ next offensive

series ended when Lemont defensive back Matt Martenson intercepted Scott and set the Indians up at the Yorkville 46-yard-line. Six plays later, Dawson threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jimmy Kepouros to make it 21-0.

Yorkville scored a touchdown to cut the deficit to 21-7 at halftime.

“Our coaches wanted us to stop them early and get momentum going so we could build up some points with our offense,” Pignone said. “We were so eager to get out there and make a stop and give our offense the ball.”

The Indians scored touchdowns on their first two pos-

sessions of the second half. Receiver Flynn Nagel hauled in a 17-yard touchdown pass from Dawson with 9:20 to play in the third quarter to cap a six-play, 51-yard drive and he caught a Dawson pass from 18 yards out with 1:46 to play in the third quarter to finish a six-play, 59yard scoring drive.

“I think when we play our best football it’s going to be real scary for an opposing defense,” Nagel said. “When the defense plays their best football against an opposing offense, it’s going to be really scary, too.

“We had a few mental mistakes that we can correct. Mentally, we have to be prepared for next week because if we’re

not, we could go home.”

Dawson completed 14 of 21 passes for 174 yards and four touchdowns. Nagel caught four passes for 58 yards. He also rushed three times for 49.

Running back Anthony Martin rushed 22 times for 103 yards and one touchdown, a 14-yard run in the first quarter.

The Indians’ defense limited Yorkville running back Michael Kurtz to 132 yards on 32 carries.

“Our defense is always well prepared,” Nagel said.

“They get after it in practice, and every week they come to play. When we correct the little things as a team, we’re going to be pretty dangerous.”

Coach says goodbye after 34 years; Minooka’s Tutt finishes sixth

time and I could hear them screaming at me. I couldn’t have gotten to where I was without Morgan, my family and Schlotter.”

Hahn, who improved more than 40 places from a year ago, was 16th in 17:13 while Bollinger repeated as an allstater after taking 19th in 17:16 to lead the way for the Porters.

“It was awesome to be up there with Emmie since she’s had an amazing season,” Bollinger said. “I guess that we have a thing for fifth place.”

Minooka also had a pair of all-staters in Ashley Tutt and Mackenzie Callahan to help coach Kevin Gummerson’s squad to claim eighth place in the same race with 258 points.

“I felt really good during the race and I’m so happy that Mackenzie and I both placed and our team did really good today,” Tutt said. “I’m so happy because my goal going into this was to be in the top 10.

Support

Our team started out the year really good and we just kept getting better and better so I was really happy with how we did today.”

Tutt took sixth place in 17:01 while Callahan finished 15th in 17:11. Emily Shelton fell just shy of all-state honors after taking 29th in 17:31. Tutt and Callahan were their program’s first all-staters.

“It was a big goal of mine to be all-state and also to PR and run as well as I can,” Callahan said. “It’s an amazing feeling and how we ran today was awesome. I was really excited about my race and everyone else on the team, too. It was a great season for us.”

Other top showings were posted by Lockport’s Haley Beaumont (42nd, 17:40), Plainfield North’s Rachael Lau (49th, 17:47), Plainfield South’s Alexis Grigg (52nd, 17:49), Lockport’s Karlee Stortz (72nd, 17:59), Lockport’s Alicia Ary (81st, 18:04), Bolingbrook’s Trianna Rodri-

guez (85th, 18:05) and Lockport’s Aubrey Friedrich (93rd, 18:10).

In Class 2A, Lemont just missed winning a trophy in the girls race, placing fourth with 191 points, which was just four points in back of third-place Dunlap.

Taylor Campos earned allstate honors for coach Tim Plotke’s squad, which easily turned in its best showing in school history.

She finished 23rd in 17:56 to become her program’s third all-stater.

“A lot of people asked me if I was disappointed that we finished fourth by four points,” Plotke said. “I’m not because the girls went out and left it on the course. We had some great PR’s and Taylor finishing 23rd and being all-state was fantastic. We knew that it was going to be tight, and it was real tight. But we get everyone back so that bodes well.”

Other top finishers in 2A

were Morris’ Mya Shannon (43rd, 18:22), Lemont’s Bridget Kunkel (56th, 18:34), Claire Gagen (59th, 18:35), Gabby Voltarel (63rd, 18:37), Beata Drozda (65th, 18:37) and Celine Ratulowski (67th, 18:40) and Lincoln-Way West’s Natalie Krol (72nd, 18:43).

The top individual showing was turned in the Class 1A girls race, where Gardner-South Wilmington’s Daly Galloway improved one spot from a year ago to take second place.

She turned in a time of 16:52 while champion Anna Sophi Keller of St. Anthony ran in 16:27.

Seneca took ninth place in that race with Eva Bruno (27th, 18:30), Carina Collet (47th, 18:57), Sarah Virgo (60th, 19:20) and Sarah Cameron (91st, 19:45) leading the way.

Turning in the top finishes in the 3A boys race were Lincoln-Way Central’s Tommy Kolacki (47th, 15:06), Plainfield North’s Jack Sebok (55th, 15:09), Lincoln-Way Central’s Ian Peterson (65th, 15:13) and Minooka’s Gabe Ceballos (84th, 15:19).

Top finishers in 2A boys were Lincoln-Way West’s Evan Mitchell (33rd, 15:21) and Mitch Feehan (81st, 15:50) while Seneca’s Ross McCormick (15th, 15:23) was a 1A allstater.

PEORIA – As Evon Schlotter waited for the results to be posted for her final meet as Lockport’s girls cross country coach, she was proud of her squad, regardless of its finish.

Although the Porters fell shy of awarding their longtime coach a trophy in her final state competition, they have much to feel good about after capturing a second straight fifth-place showing at Saturday’s Class 3A finals at Detweiller Park.

“The team ran great and I’m very pleased about that,” said Schlotter, whose 29 years as a head coach and 34 years overall rank among the longest in Lockport history.

“They put it together and we had two all-staters. Whatever we end up, I’m going to be happy since that’s what it’s all about. It was a great last coaching day for me, but a very emotional one.”

With all-staters Emmie Hahn and Morgan Bollinger leading the way, Lockport scored 175 points to place between Hinsdale Central and Schaumburg.

“I was really happy with my performance and I’m a senior so I’m also happy that I got to end things the best way that I could,” Hahn said. “My family was pumped the whole

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: NORMAL 2, PLAINFIELD NORTH 0 (25-22, 26-24)

Tigers’ record-breaking season ends Jump out to early lead in first set, but Ironmen swing momentum to take match

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com NORMAL – It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what lost the Plainfield North girls volleyball team the match. After leading in both games, North fell to the host in the Normal Community Supersectional match 25-22, 26-24 on Saturday.

Right-side hitter Kaitlyn Fisher and middle hitter Lucia Vargas roof-blocked the opposing hitter for the opening point. Setter Lauren Murphy served nine consecutive points for the Tigers, making the score 9-0. Fisher earned two kills in the service run and outside hitter Allie Lindroth totalled four kills and one solo block.

Things were going picturesque for North for a majority of the game. At one point, the Tigers were ahead, 17-9. Then the momentum went heavily in Normal’s favor when Machayla Leonard had two big kills

and Micki Quakenbush added a couple of her own. The Ironmen earned easy points when North was called out of rotation twice late in the game.

By the end of the match, the Tigers were called in the net or out of rotation a total of eight times. Normal was not called once. In a game where the teams are closely matched, those eight points in errors made the difference.

“If you want me to be honest about the violations, it was all one-sided,” Tigers coach Tracey Marshall said. “They definitely had hometown officials, so calls were going to go their way. It was our fault because it shouldn’t have come down to the calls, but we did all that we could do.”

North did do all that it could. In the two-game match, Lindroth and Fisher led the Tigers with 15 kills, three blocks and nine kills, two blocks, respectively. In critical points, both delivered. Fisher had two

“So it was not a shocker that they would be that for us in the very last match as well.

I’m extremely proud of them.

They stayed poised and composed all the way through and they did the very best that they could for their team.”

Other players contributed to the team’s strong performance. Murphy tallied 34 assists, outside hitter Bailey Miller earned seven kills and two blocks, libero Maddie Zyburt had 15 digs and defensive specialist Morgan Smith had nine digs.

Despite losing their last match, the Tigers are proud of Tracey Marshall their record-breaking season.

Tigers volleyball coach This is the first year Plainfield North (31-9) has made the supersectional match.

“It is really overwhelming kills in the last five points and gave the Tigers game point in to make history,” Miller said.

“We weren’t satisfied with the second match.

“If you want me to be honest about the violations, it was all one-sided. They definitely had hometown officials, so calls were going to go their way. It was our fault because it shouldn’t have come down to the calls, but we did all that we could do.”

“It’s a really great feeling,” Zyburt said. “It sucks right now, but I’m really proud of this team. We went really far and I’m grateful for that. We went out and played very hard this game. Odds weren’t in our favor this time. It’s something that you learn from and move on.”

A total of eight seniors – including Fisher, Miller, Zyburt and Vargas – are leaving North’s program. By helping the team make it past sectionals, the seniors have laid another brick in Plainfield North’s volleyball foundation.

“This is my fifth year here,” Marshall said. “Each season has gotten better and gotten better because the girls are buying in and they’re believing in what we are doing.

It’s a little bit more each year.

I tell them all the time, leave the program better than you found it and I definitely think that’s exactly what they’re doing.”

Sixth straight win propels JCA to finals matchup with Montini at ISU’s Redbird Arena

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 9, 2014

LA SALLE – Christine Scheibe never had taken a team to state that hadn’t won 30 matches or had suffered more than 10 losses in a season.

So it’s safe to say that while this season’s 24-16 squad is a bit out of the ordinary, it also has nothing to lose when it competes in next weekend’s Class 3A finals at ISU’s Redbird Arena.

JCA assured itself of its first trophy since 2010 with a 25-17, 25-23 win over Sterling in Saturday’s LaSalle-Peru Supersectional. It meets Montini on Friday at 4:30 p.m.

The Angels have won six straight and gone 15-4 since starting the year with a 9-12 record. JCA improved to 10-1 in supersectionals, including a 7-1 mark under Scheibe.

“This wasn’t necessarily a team that was destined to get this far, but when the light bulb went on, they’ve been playing great volleyball,” Scheibe said.

“They’ve been playing as a team and believe that they can do this. It’s a credit to them for being selfless players and playing as a unit. Our record is deceiving so we have nothing to lose.

“We did a nice job of getting an early lead in game one and then we were kind of able to play a steady game after that.

We got a little bit down in game two but you could see the fight in the girls and that’s something that they’ve shown the past couple of weeks.”

JCA jumped out to a 17-6 lead in the opener over Sterling (2811), which was hoping to qualify for state for the first time. But the Golden Warriors responded by closing to within 21-17 before the Angels used kills from Mary Murphy (11 kills, 3 blocks, 8 digs, 9 assists) and Taylor Zurliene (4 kills) to end things.

“I watched the 2003 team win and saw both of my sisters play at Redbird Arena so there’s no better feeling than this,” Murphy said. “It’s been my dream and to finally get to accomplish your dream is the best thing ever. We were given an opportunity this year and we took ad-

vantage of it. We’ve definitely picked it up and have peaked at the right time.”

There was much more drama in the second set after JCA built up a 16-10 advantage. Sterling managed to tie things at 20-20 before Murphy recorded three kills and a block to ac-

count for her squad’s final four points.

“This is just so exciting,” senior Maddie Naal said. “When you look at our record, you wouldn’t even think that we’d even be a contender for state.

But I think the reason that we’re so emotional right now is

because no one really believed in our team. We just turned our whole season around and showed them that all of our hard work paid off.”

The Angels also received four kills from Nicole Witmer, 13 assists from Megan Melone and eight digs from Megan

Cladis.

“I’ve been waiting for this since I came to JCA and we all felt like true Angels with the way we played tonight,” Witmer said. “They were very scrappy and their defense came out of nowhere with some of those digs. We started out our season a little shaky but about a month ago we finally clicked together and ever since we’ve just been on cloud nine.”

Despite taking an unusual path to the semifinals, JCA is now just one win away from advancing to its fifth championship match under Scheibe.

“I can’t stop crying, but they’re happy tears,” senior Madeline Grimm said. “We finally have the lineup that works for us and we’re putting it together when it really counts.

We’ve had such a strong end to our season and I prefer the stronger end to a strong start.

We’re so ready for state and we’re ready to do it for each other and for the JCA program.”

No. 11 Sun Devils beat No. 8 Irish Second-half rally falls short, Notre Dame likely out of playoff hunt

By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press TEMPE, Ariz. – Taylor Kelly threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Demario Richard in the fourth quarter and Lloyd Carrington followed with a 58yard interception return for another score, helping No. 11 Arizona State withstand a furious second-half rally to beat No. 8 Notre Dame, 55-31, on Saturday.

The Sun Devils (8-1, No. 9 CFB) overwhelmed Notre Dame early with a string of turnovers and big plays, racing to a 24-3 lead by the opening minute of the second quarter.

The Irish (7-2, No. 10 CFB) charged back with 21 straight points, pulling to 34-31 when Everett Golson hit Amir Carlisle with a 25-yard touchdown pass.

But the Sun Devils had a rally of their own, scoring three touchdowns in the final 4:39 to remain firmly in the playoff mix.

Notre Dame is all but out of the playoff hunt after Golson threw four interceptions and lost a fumble.

Kelly threw for 224 yards on 17-of-28 passing and capped one of Arizona State’s biggest wins as a program with a last-second, 2-yard scoring run.

Golson finished with 446 yards on 22-of-41 passing and two touchdowns, but has 17 turnovers the past six games, including two interceptions returned for touchdowns by the Sun Devils. He also was sacked seven times.

With all that was on the line, this was arguably the biggest regular-season game in the 56-year history of Sun Devil Stadium.

Students began camping out for tickets Monday and fans jammed the stadium, creating a playoff-like atmosphere in the desert.

And it was like a playoff for the playoffs: Win and bolster your resume for the final rankings on Dec. 7, lose and start angling for a lower-tier bowl.

lachian State in the opener to lead Michigan on a day when Devin Gardner threw for 105 yards and two interceptions.

Siemian threw for 268 yards and a touchdown but got picked off twice as Northwestern continued its freefall.

After numerous missed opportunities by both sides, Michigan finally broke through midway through the third, taking a 7-0 lead on Smith’s 3-yard touchdown plunge. That came after Northwestern’s Tony Jones fumbled a punt and Jehu Chesson recovered at the 21.

The Wildcats had a chance later in the third when Ibraheim Campbell returned an interception 79 yards to the 15. But two plays for a loss and then an intentional grounding

by Siemian put the ball on the 43 and Northwestern out of field goal range.

The Wildcats finally scored on a 21-yard field goal by Jack Mitchell with 7:26 left in the AP photo game, capping 95-yard drive.

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

No. 25 Badgers roll past Boilermakers, 34-16 The ASSOCIATED PRESS WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – For one half Saturday, Joel Stave looked like the quarterback who nearly led Wisconsin to last year’s Big Ten title game.

Running back Melvin Gordon savored the moment.

With the Heisman Trophy candidate rushing for 205 yards and one touchdown, and Stave throwing for a season best 219 yards and two touchdowns, No 25. Wisconsin (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten, No. 25 CFP) pulled away from Purdue (3-7, 1-5) 34-16 and improved its chances to chase yet another conference championship.

Stave, who lost his starting job before the season and hadn’t thrown a pass in Wisconsin’s first four games, was brilliant early.

He went 15 of 19 for 190 yards with two touchdown passes in just two quarters.

Penn State 13, Indiana 7: At Bloomington, Indiana, Penn State has been searching for ways to end a midseason slump.

The Nittany Lions’ defense stepped up. Sam Ficken did, too.

Ficken kicked a 27-yard goahead field goal and Penn State defeated Indiana to snap a fourgame skid.

Ficken’s kick gave Penn State a 10-7 lead which he later

extended with a 28-yard field goal with under a minute to play.

“Our defense is really gaining confidence because they’re playing well,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “We went into the year feeling really good about [the defense]. We just needed to do it down in and down out.”

Christian Hackenberg was 12 of 29 for 168 yards and Bill Belton ran for 137 yards and a touchdown for the Nittany Lions (5-4, 2-4 Big Ten), who haven’t lost more than five games since 2004.

The Nittany Lions controlled an Indiana offense that hasn’t found its way since it

lost starting quarterback Nate Sudfeld to a season-ending injury last month. Since then, Indiana (3-6, 0-5) has lost four straight.

Minnesota 51, Iowa 14: At Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Minnesota players swarmed the Iowa sideline with a group sprint as soon as the last second was gone.

Humiliated by the Hawkeyes (6-3, 3-2) the last two years, the Gophers (7-2, 4-1) were giddy about grabbing the bronze pig again. They had plenty of time to plot out that race for repossession, too.

Maxx Williams caught three of Mitch Leidner’s four touchdown passes, and Min-

nesota rushed for 291 yards in a romp past Iowa on Saturday afternoon to retake the Floyd of Rosedale trophy.

“Once we kind of knew we had the game, it was kind of like everyone lining up, stretching, just having fun with it and getting ready to run across the field as fast as we could,” said Williams, who caught five passes for 46 yards.

The Gophers moved back into a first-place tie with idle Nebraska in the Big Ten West Division, with a road game against the Huskers looming in two weeks. Wisconsin is a halfgame back, and the Gophers finish this grueling month with a trip to play the Badgers.

EVANSTON – De’Veon Smith ran for a career-high 121 yards and a touchdown, and Michigan beat Northwestern, 10-9, Saturday after the Wildcats’ Trevor Siemian slipped attempting a two-point conversion at the end of the game.

Siemian had just connected with Tony Jones in the left corner of the end zone on a 3-yard pass to make it a onepoint game with three seconds left.

Rather than try for the tie, Northwestern went for the win. That plan backfired when Siemian slipped while dropping back as Michigan’s Frank Clark closed in on him.

That capped another wild finish between these teams, with Michigan once again prevailing.

The Wolverines (5-5, 3-3 Big Ten) won in overtime two years ago and pulled out a triple-OT thriller last year after the field goal unit sprinted onto the field for the tying

kick at the end of regulation.

This time, they gave their fading bowl hopes a boost and handed Northwestern (3-6, 2-4) its fourth straight loss in a game that was almost comical for all its missed chances.

Michigan finally grabbed a 7-0 lead on Smith’s 3-yard run midway through the third quarter and eventually escaped with a much needed victory.

The Wolverines still have to win one of their two remaining games to become bowl eligible and end a difficult season on a more positive note.

Athletic director David Brandon recently resigned and coach Brady Hoke’s future is in question. But for now, the focus is on getting to a bowl.

Considering the finale is at Ohio State on Nov. 29, the Wolverines can’t afford a letdown against Maryland in two weeks.

Against Northwestern, they got two sacks from Mario Ojemudia and five in all by the defense.

Smith eclipsed his previous high of 115 yards against Appa-

Green Bay doing it the right way VIEWS Rick Morrissey We have all four major sports.

They have the Packers.

We have the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

They have the Packers.

We have the Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium.

They have the Packers.

We have a forest of skyscrapers.

They have the Packers.

I’m starting to think our priorities are out of whack.

Green Bay is a small city with one of the smartest and most successful organizations in the NFL. We’re the third-largest city in the United States with a football franchise that thinks a nickel back is change from a dollar. Perhaps we’ve spread ourselves too thin. Perhaps in our hurry to be bigger and better, taller and straighter, artsier and craftier, we’ve allowed ourselves to get soft where it matters: football.

The Packers are 5-3 and the Bears are 3-5 heading into their matchup Sunday night at Green Bay. The Bears could pull an upset, but it wouldn’t change a couple of truths: They want to be the Packers when they grow up.

They have no idea how to do it.

When George Halas died in 1983, he left the Bears to his daughter, Virginia. The Bears team that won the Super Bowl after the 1985 season had the old man’s fingerprints all over it, from the hiring of coach Mike Ditka to the amassing of talent, much of it collected by the general manager Halas had picked, Jim Finks. When those fingerprints started fading, the McCaskeys’ influence took hold. I like to think of it as a passive takeover.

There is no shortage of explanations for why Green Bay has enjoyed continued success and the Bears haven’t. Better players. Better coaches. Smarter people. But there’s also this:

AP file photo

Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler sits on the ground after being hit after a pass Oct. 5 against the Carolina Panthers during the second half in Charlotte, N.C. The Packers aren’t owned by the McCaskeys. In the last 21 seasons, the Packers have won two Super Bowls and have been to the playoffs 16 times. In the same span, the Bears haven’t won a Super Bowl and have been to the playoffs just five times.

The Packers are a publicly owned, nonprofit franchise.

There are more than 360,000 shareholders, none of whom have a say in company matters or a chance of making a penny from their investment. There is an executive committee overseeing the operation, a very good general manager (Ted Thompson) and a very good coach (Mike McCarthy). Good decisions and good hires seem to be the norm rather than the exception.

The Packers’ last four coaches: McCarthy, Mike Sherman,

Ray Rhodes (fired after only one season and an 8-8 record!) and Mike Holmgren.

The Bears’ last four coaches: Marc Trestman, Lovie Smith, Dick Jauron, Dave Wannstedt.

The three most recent coaches especially are a reflection of the McCaskeys – safe, quiet, unremarkable. Same goes with the last two general managers, Phil Emery and Jerry Angelo.

The Packers’ most recent general managers are Thompson, Sherman and Ron Wolf, who is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2015 class.

Shall we talk quarterbacks?

In 2008, the Packers saw that franchise icon Brett Favre wasn’t the player he used to be, and, despite the shrieking protests from fans and media (including me), they decided to move forward with some guy named Aaron Rodgers.

You could give Superman’s eyesight to the Bears, and they’d still tell you they see Jay Cutler leading them to greatness. I have the hunch that if Cutler were the last quarterback available to sign on the planet, the scouting-savvy Packers would tell a fullback to start getting his arm loose.

The Packers aren’t the only well-run franchise in the NFL, but they are the well-run franchise that regularly shows up in the Bears’ nightmares.

They’re the well-run franchise that the team from Chicago would do well to emulate but can’t. The only way this rivalry evens out is if a family of well-meaning brown socks buys the Packers.

The answer is simple and about as likely to happen as a talking fish: The McCaskeys need to remove themselves

from all decisions having to do with the football product and let a brilliant football czar build an organization in his image.

Something like the Packers did in the 1990s with Wolf.

Again, maybe the Bears will upset the Packers on Sunday, but that won’t change history.

This will remain a discussion of the haves and have-nots.

We have lively neighborhoods and a vibrant music scene.

They have the Packers.

We’re about to have a George Lucas Museum that looks like Three Mile Island.

They have the Packers.

You tell me which city is more evolved.

Turner, Celtics beat Bulls The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Emergency starter Evan Turner scored 19 points, one of five starters in double figures, to lead the short-handed Boston Celtics to a 106-101 triumph over the Bulls on Saturday night.

The Celtics took control in the final six minutes of the second period, which they closed on a 27-8 run to take a 56-41 lead into the half. Avery Bradley scored nine and Turner added six more in the decisive stretch. Led by Bradley, who had 11 points, all five starters scored at least eight in the first half.

Reserve Aaron Brooks led the Bulls with 26 points, while Pau Gasol added 19. Kelly Olynk finished with 18 points and a gamehigh 11 rebounds for the Celtics.

Boston won for only the second time in its last 10 trips to the United Center. The Bulls fell for the second time in seven games this season.

The teams played without injured All-Star point guards Rajon Rondo and Derrick Rose. Rondo and rookie guard Marcus Smart sat out for the Celtics, while Rose was sidelined for the second

Boston took a 12-2 lead at the outset, as the Bulls misfired on 10 of its first 11 field goal attempts.

After a time-out, Gasol sparked a comeback, as the Bulls connected on 10 of its final 13 shots in the period to take a 25-20 lead.

But the Bulls couldn’t sustain

the momentum. When Tyler Zeller scored off Bradley’s lob pass midway through the third quarter, the Celtics took a 36-35 lead that wasn’t threatened until the final minute.

Brooks connected on a shot, but Turner, Olynk and Jeff Green answered with two free throws apiece in the final 17 seconds to seal the victory.

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks in search of consistency

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Things couldn’t have been going much better for the Blackhawks as the second period ticked away Friday night. They had scored on a goal at home for the first time in more than 146 minutes. They had scored in the second period for just the fifth time all season. And Corey Crawford was rolling with a shutout streak of more than 150 minutes and counting.

Then they went into cruise control, and the Washington Capitals hit the throttle.

Washington scored three goals in the final five minutes, including two in the final minute, and defeated the Hawks 3-2 in a preview of the Winter Classic at Nationals Park on New Year’s Day. “We played a perfect 35 minutes,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “We basically shot

ourselves in the foot with mental mistakes – a couple plays that were totally unacceptable.”

Through 14 games, the Hawks are a pedestrian 7-6-1, currently out of the Western Conference playoff picture. It’s still early, obviously, with 68 games and six months left on the schedule. But with the division and the conference better than ever, the Hawks – who can occasionally seem a little blasé about regular-season games in November after making four deep playoff runs in the last six seasons – will have to find the fire to bring their best every single night, even against teams such as the Capitals, who were 0-4-1 in their previous five games.

Duncan Keith insisted that motivation should never be an issue, and that the Hawks pride themselves on “turning the page” each season.

“This is what we play for, right?” he said. “We’re playing

for playoffs. There’s no guarantee we’re going to be in the playoffs.

It’s a new year.”

Said Hawks captain Jonathan Toews: “It’s our consistency, it’s our accountability. We need to really get up to snuff in those areas, and when we do, we’re a really good hockey team and we’re tough to beat. But when we don’t, we’re just another team. We can’t accept that level of effort.”

The effort was there on Friday night. But it was only there for about half the game, as that focus and attention to detail waned just long enough to cost them the game.

The Hawks were up, 2-0, on goals by Brandon Saad in the first period and Keith on a power play early in the second period.

Then an ill-fated pinch by Brent Seabrook led to a 2-on-1 the other way for Washington, and Andre Burakovsky sniped one past Crawford to snap his shutout streak at 153:30.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Who can make which contract?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Jacob Bronowski, who wrote the wonderful “Ascent of Man” series, said, “Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.”

During most bridge deals, you have some definite knowledge -- your own hand -- and some fairly reliable data -- the actions of the other players.

However, there are deals in which you will be faced with uncertainty. In today’s deal, who can make what?

North should have opened one club, not one diamond, which coincidentally would have picked off his opponents’ suit. When he bid one diamond, East had an easy two-club overcall. (He was too short in spades for a takeout double.) Then, South’s two-spade response promised 10 points. But he liked his big diamond fit and club void.

West produced a pre-emptive club raise. (With a good hand, he would have cue-bid three diamonds.) After that, North raised spades, East bid game to make, South took an eachway bet with five spades, and East doubled for penalty.

Note that South was right. Even with the clubs breaking 3-0, five clubs is laydown. Suppose South leads the spade jack. East wins, cashes dummy’s top trumps, then runs the heart jack.

When the finesse wins and the suit is 3-3, dummy’s spade loser disappears on East’s fourth heart.

Against five spades doubled, West led the club ace. Declarer ruffed and drove out the spade ace. He ruffed the second club, drew trumps, and ran the diamonds, pitching two hearts from dummy.

Five spades doubled bid and made!

To defeat the contract (by two tricks), West had to lead the heart jack.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff picture. What was once a theory that many, including myself, found reasonable was slowly murdered by a brutal gang of facts.

First, several recent studies have shown that raising HDL by taking niacin does not protect patients from heart attack or stroke.

Even worse, we are learning that niacin also has many risks.

A rapidly absorbed and metabolized form of niacin is called crystalline niacin.

It must be taken two or three times a day. This form may cause itching, facial flushing and headaches.

It may also trigger gout, or cause gastrointestinal bleeding or liver damage.

Finally, it may trigger diabetes in people who have borderline-high blood sugar.

Slow-release or sustained-release niacin isn’t as likely to cause flushing and itching. But it still may cause the other, more serious problems I mentioned.

Niacin is still useful as an add-on therapy in people whose LDL is not lowered enough by statins alone.

And it is a good alternative when statins are not effective. Niacin is particularly useful for patients with a rare condition called severe familial hypercholesterolemia. But for everyone else, niacin has fallen out of favor.

• Write to Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

• Sunday, November 9, 2014

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Doctor K: For years I’ve taken niacin to raise my HDL cholesterol. Now my doctor wants me to stop.

Why? Dear Reader: When we talk about cholesterol, we’re generally referring to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

LDL is also known as “bad” cholesterol. When there is more LDL than necessary in the bloodstream, the LDL cholesterol burrows inside blood vessel walls. It slowly forms plaques of atherosclerosis.

When those plaques rupture and block blood flow, they cause heart attacks and strokes.

Sixty years ago, drugs to lower cholesterol were introduced.

One of these was niacin -- also called vitamin B3.

Niacin slightly lowered LDL cholesterol, but tended to raise HDL cholesterol (also known as “good” cholesterol). HDL cholesterol removes cholesterol from artery walls. People with higher levels of HDL in the blood have a lower risk of heart disease.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Put interference and limitations behind you. Get back in the driver’s seat and take control. Use past experiences to your advantage.

Stay on top and steer clear of risky ventures that have no place in your life. Strive for a stable and secure future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Consider the people who will be affected by your decisions. Ask for suggestions in order to stand a much better chance of getting the necessary support to move forward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – A chance encounter will have a momen-

tous effect on your future. Jump at any opportunity to expand your circle of friends and potential partners.

Romance will enhance your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You will feel low due to matters beyond your control. Reach out to a close friend who understands what you are up against. Find a constructive hobby to occupy your mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Seek to maintain a balance between your home life and career. Focusing too much on one or the other will complicate matters. Don’t forget to take a little time for your personal needs

as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Curtail your spending. Unexpected repair or medical bills can take a big bite out of your savings. Leave a little wiggle room in your budget to allow for unanticipated expenditures.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Make a career move. Aim for a higher position or a promotion. You have the skills to step into a job with a learning curve.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t gamble when it comes to your professional

position. You will receive negative feedback from a superior if you let your personal life invade your workspace.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Make subtle changes to your appearance. Don’t try to impress or dazzle others when it’s you who needs to feel satisfied. If you look good and feel good, you will make progress.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Monitor your eating habits. Don’t let the little things get you down and cause you to let your appearance deteriorate.

Striving to be your best will boost your morale.
