JOLIET – The second-grade class had just begun writing down homework assignments when the fire alarm rang Thursday morning.

It was an unannounced drill at Edna Keith Elementary School, but after the students went outside, the festivities began.

“It turned into a small parade with a fire truck and police cars ... a surprise for the students,” Principal Michelle Johnson said.

Antonio Alexander, 8, said it was “weird and awesome” to see Santa Claus waving from a Harley-Davidson in the procession. Santa and Mrs. Claus joined Illinois State Police troopers and Wal-Mart employees to provide students with a holiday party.

Wal-Mart selects one Chicago school and one elsewhere in the state each year, accord-

“They did this last year, and the response of gratitude from the students and families was so overwhelming that we’ve become the first school they’ve done it for two years

in a row,” Johnson said.

Sgt. Clare Pfotenhauer said more than 50 troopers and state police employees volunteered to join Wal-Mart staff for the event. Officers issued Santa bags and handed out

Joliet names Shanahan as its new corporate counsel

By CHRIS LaFORTUNE clafortune@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet has named Martin Shanahan Jr. its next corporation counsel, replacing Jeff Plyman, who retired in October.

Shanahan will begin working with the city Jan. 5, according to a news release from the city.

Shanahan is a graduate of the University of St. Francis and obtained his juris doctorate from the John Marshall Law School in Chicago.

“I love the work that I do and the people I’ve worked with in the past,” Shanahan said. “It’s a wide variety of work as well.”

A Joliet resident, Shanahan served as an assistant state’s attorney for three years before joining the law firm Spesia & Ayers in 2001, the city said.

Shanahan has worked as the city of Joliet’s adjudication hearing officer for more

than a year.

Before having Shanahan come on as hearing officer, Joliet had its own staff attorney working in that position, City Manager James Hock said.

But the state’s attorney informed the city there were potential ethical issues with having its own attorney overseeing hearings on tickets that city officers were writing.

“We went to Spesia & Ayers and had Marty be our hearing officer,” Hock said.

As corporation counsel, Shanahan will oversee the city’s law department, Hock said, including a staff of three attorneys. His initial annual salary will be $141,1000 a year.

“We have about 75 litigation cases at any given time,” Hock said. “He’ll pick up his share of the case load to focus on.”

Shanahan also will initially work on the continuation of the Evergreen Terrace lawsuit, Hock said, among other matters.

Shanahan said he previously worked in municipal law with Rockdale, Minooka, New Lenox and Manhattan during his tenure at Spesia & Ayers.

That wealth of experience made Shanahan stand out from the nine other candidates interviewed for the position, Hock said.

Plyman retired in October, ending 28 years of service with the city.

stickers, temporary tattoos and candy as prizes.

Students solved puzzles and tossed a ball from a line in the gymnasium while others lined up to have pictures taken with the Clauses.

Four hundred and fifty children attended the party and received presents.

“I got a football, Iron Man puzzle, stuffed animal, snacks, pens, pencils – a lot of stuff,” Antonio said as he went through his bag.

Pfotenhauer said police get as much from the event as the kids.

“They get some fun items and essential supplies, while we get to give back some goodwill to the community and [show] the holiday spirit,” she said.

“This is a little more rewarding than the usual workday,” Trooper D.J. Peon agreed while volunteering at the ball toss. “No one’s arguing with me.”

Salvation Army, Caterpillar partner to support those in need in Joliet

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Residents of Park Tower Apartments in Joliet were offered Christmas dinners Thursday, courtesy of Caterpillar volunteers and The Salvation Army.

Denia Coatney and Kim Pouncy, two Caterpillar employees, pushed along a grocery cart filled with turkeys and other food on the 13th floor of the apartment building. They knocked on the door of one resident and offered a free Christmas meal.

“Happy holidays. We have your meal for Christmas,” Coatney said to the resident.

The two were among several volunteers from Caterpillar giving meals away Thursday on all 14 floors of Park Tower Apartments. Caterpillar provided the manpower and transportation for the meals, provided by The Salvation Army.

It was the second year of collaboration between the apartments, Caterpillar and The Salvation Army. About 70 meals were delivered Thursday.

Sandra Jones, Park Tower clinical social worker, helped coordinate the event with her husband, David, a Caterpillar manufacturing engineer. She said the donations are meant to help the residents.

The residents have minimal resources, and Jones discovered The Salvation Army donated free food.

“This is money [residents] don’t have to take out of their pocket that would go toward food and medicine,” Jones said.

David Jones said Caterpillar was helping because “[Park Tower Apartments] needed the muscle – they needed people who not only pick up the food and deliver it, but distribute it.”

“I think it’ll be something

that as long as the opportunity exists, we’ll continue to support it,” he said about the donations.

Jones said he was impressed with The Salvation Army’s organizational efforts in the donation drive. It al-

lowed Caterpillar to pick up the food “in an unhurried way,” he said.

“Everybody was helping, and some of their staff pitched in to help us. We were ready to come and load everything and [The Salvation Army’s] people was helping us, too,” he said.

Caterpillar employees rolled up to The Salvation Army in Joliet in trucks to gather up the food – most coming from the Northern Illinois Food Bank – before transporting it to Park Tower Apartments.

The volunteers then packed food onto grocery carts and took it up in an elevator to meet the residents.

Coatney and Pouncy’s delivery began on the 13th floor, and they worked their way down.

They delivered the food right to the kitchen for some residents, especially those with rheumatoid arthritis.

One resident refused to accept the donation and pleaded with them to find another person more in need.

Pouncy said the residents appreciated the effort and that some get emotional. Some residents are neglected at times and like the company, Pouncy said.

In past deliveries, Coatney said they’ve received hugs.

“It makes you feel good about it,” Pouncy said.

Animal shelter faces eviction County building violations cited at rented Joliet Twp. facility

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

Krystal Mueller, 29, of New Lenox picks up a rat terrier chihuahua puppy Thursday at the Cache Creek Animal Rescue in Joliet.

Mueller and her husband, Matt, heard about the rescue group receiving an eviction notice through social media and decided to adopt.

lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – Nearly a week after receiving an eviction notice, a nokill animal rescue operation in Joliet Township is asking the public for donations to prevent the dozens of pets it houses from becoming homeless.

Although it is based in downstate Anna, Cache Creek Animal Rescue also has a shelter facility in Joliet.

It’s a nonprofit, no-kill shelter that takes in dogs and cats from kill shelters across the state.

The majority of animals at the Joliet shelter came from southern Illinois, where Donna Hawk, the rescue’s director, lives. Hawk arrived at the Joliet facility Dec. 12 as part of her 700mile weekly round trip to transport pets and found the eviction notice letter from the landlord.

The shelter’s doors have been swinging open more than usual since word got out about the eviction. Dogs and cats are being adopted left and right, said Anna Pec, a shelter worker, amid fears the animals will end up homeless.

“It’s overwhelming, the support we’ve received,” Pec said.

Joanna Oddo, fundraising director for the rescue group, said Thursday she believes the situation is “beyond our control” and “beyond the animals’ control.”

“It’s not fair to them,” she said.

Building code violations

Although the eviction letter doesn’t explicitly state why the rescue operation must leave – other than they are using the property “in violation of the law” – Hawk said she believes it’s because the building has

several code violations and the group never obtained the proper building permit.

The landlord was summoned to court regarding the code violations Dec. 9, according to Curt Paddock, the county’s land use director.

The eviction notice came Dec. 12, telling the shelter to vacate by Jan. 12.

The landlord’s attorney did not immediately return phone messages left Thursday.

Frank Andreano, an attorney who is working pro bono for the shelter in fighting the eviction, said he has not determined whether the terms of the lease make the landlord or tenant responsible for the property improvements.

Andreano said the shelter will not necessarily be out of the building in 30 days.

“It will take awhile,” he said. “They’ve given us 30 days notice to get out. If we don’t get out in 30 days, they

will file a lawsuit, and it will be up to a judge to determine if we are in violation or not.”

The animal rescue submitted the paperwork for a permanent building permit in July 2013 – the same month the lease was signed, Paddock said.

Land use staff did an initial review and found the facility had a number of code violations, he said. Staff asked Cache Creek to submit plans to bring the building up to code, which the county never received, Paddock said.

Without knowing the terms of the lease agreement, Paddock said obtaining a building permit and completing necessary repairs are typically the landlord’s responsibility.

“But the landlord obviously made a business decision … and put the burden of obtaining that permit on the tenant,” he said.

The land use department notified the property owner, not the rescue shelter, of code violations earlier this year regarding ADA compliance, including striping the parking lot for handicapped spaces, and issues with the water heater and drainage system.

Those changes have not been made.

Finding a new home

For those reasons, Hawk said, the shelter has not been able to reapply for a building permit.

An architect will not do a rendering with all of the violations.

“I don’t think [the code violations] are our issue, our responsibility,” Hawk said.

There’s also an issue with neighbors complaining about dog waste not being picked up daily, despite shelter volunteers’ daily efforts.

Hawk said it may be better just to find a new home for the animals.

“With all the acrimony, it might just be best for us to move on,” she said.

The shelter is current on rent payments and has made other improvements to the property, Hawk said.

A GoFundMe account was started Monday by one of the shelter workers.

As of Thursday evening, the shelter had raised more than $30,000, edging it closer to its $50,000 fundraising goal.

That money will help the rescue group find a new home, Hawk said.

Extension granted for landfill in Will County

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Congress approved federal legislation this week allowing for a 15-year extension on Will County’s Prairie View Landfill.

The landfill – a 455-acre parcel at the former Joliet Arsenal property – opened in 2004. The original agreement required the landfill to be capped in 2027 and limited waste retrieval to municipalities within Will County or partially within WIll County.

New legislation removes those restrictions and extends the agreement to 2042, meaning more revenue for the county.

Suzanne Hart, chair for the county’s Legislative and Policy Committee, relayed the news to the full County Board during Thursday’s meeting.

County Board Speaker Jim Moustis called it “great news.”

“It would have been a shame. Without getting an extension, we wouldn’t have gotten a full capacity at that landfill,” he said.

Extending the length of the agreement was a top priority for the board in 2014, said Nick Palmer, chief of staff for the county executive.

The bill is awaiting the president’s signature, but there’s little reason to believe it won’t become law, Palmer said.

The landfill would not have been filled to capacity over the initial 23-year agreement at the current rate of waste intake, along with settlement of waste, according to county documents. That would leave 1 to 2 million tons of capacity.

If the restrictions had remained, Will County would have been forced to find a new landfill site before the current site filled, he said.

Cirricione had passion for music, career in law JOLIET – John Cirricione loved playing drums as a young man. He was talented enough to be offered an audition with the Lawrence Welk Orchestra shortly after graduating from Joliet Central High School.

“He wanted to do it as a career – and his father, an Italian immigrant, said, ‘No. You have to be a lawyer.’ So that was what he did,” said Cirricione’s

daughter, Sandra Cowgill.

Champagne music’s loss was the Will County Courthouse’s gain. Cirricione spent 31 years as a lawyer and served 17 years as an associate judge.

Cirricione died Tuesday at age 88.

Cowgill recalled her class being assigned U.S. Supreme Court cases when she attended law school and “the thrill” of reading her father’s argument from 20 years earlier.

Trucker in Interstate 55 rollover said cargo shifted

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON TOWNSHIP – The trucker whose semitrailer rolled over on Interstate 55 on Wednesday told police he believes cargo shifted before the accident.

The accident delayed traffic for five hours – with northbound lanes closed completely for most of that time – until the semitrailer was turned upright and hauled away.

The semitrailer rolled over

at 4:40 p.m. south of Bluff Road. State police said lanes were reopened at 9:40 p.m.

According to a state police account, the driver said he believed his load had shifted when the truck began to sway.

He told police he attempted to correct the direction of the truck when it rolled into a ditch.

The driver was taken to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. His injuries were not life-threatening, police said.

sue on freedom of speech – and while he lost, he’d given a quality argument that was still being studied,” she said.

Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt spent one summer while he was in law school working as a clerk for Cirricione.

“He was a smart guy with an all-around temperament,” Schoenstedt said. “Besides research, he taught me how you should fight hard for a client but remain civil to everyone.”

Schoenstedt said Cirricione, who was a judge from 1983 to 2000, wanted lawyers to get to the crux of a matter so he could apply common sense.

“He liked legal argument, but what kept him at it was that the law gave him a vehicle to help people,” Cowgill said. “He wasn’t a preacher. He never said to us how you should be.

He showed us. He was authentic ... so authentic.”

Cirricione continued playing drums throughout his

life. He was a member of the American Legion Band and the Shrine Club Band, and he played in the Jay Mau Orchestra.

Cirricione is survived by his second wife, Betty, three children, two stepchildren, 11 grandchildren, four step-grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be from 3 to 7 p.m. Friday at Fred C. Dames Funeral Home, 3200 Black at Essington roads, Joliet.

Disputed Broken Arrow plan moves forward Lockport City Council set to vote on housing/banquet project next month

By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media Correspondent LOCKPORT – The Lockport City Council is scheduled to vote next month on a controversial plan to build housing and banquet facilities at the struggling Broken Arrow Golf Club.

The plan is to build 26 duplexes and a 15,000-square-foot banquet hall and cultural center on the Par 3 portion of the golf course on Broken Arrow Drive.

“Having a failed golf club is not going to help the city,” Mayor Steven Streit said at a Wednesday Committee of the Whole meeting, where the council heard opposing arguments from a lawyer from the golf club and a representative for the Arrowhead Subdivision residents.

The plan is set to go on the agenda for the Jan. 7 city council meeting.

“To say ‘no’ at this point

is inappropriate,” Streit said.

“We need to allow [the owners of the golf club] to see if they can do what they can to keep their business afloat.”

Streit also said Broken Arrow needs to address “the challenging laundry list” of changes the city’s planning commission has compiled.

A discussion on the plan was tabled last month after the petitioner – the Chen family, which owns the golf club – decided to revisit the proposal. Also, some residents of the subdivision had expressed concerns at that time about the project.

The club owners have planned the development to save their business, John Antonopoulos, lawyer for Broken Arrow, told the committee members Wednesday night.

“This is not an opportunity to make more money,” Antonopoulos said. “We are struggling.”

Michelle Pollos, whose

She cited past drainage issues for houses that back up on Par 3, possible overcrowding in schools and a drop in property values.

The residents’ major concern, she said, was that added density in a 400-home subdivision with only one entrance and exit access road – Broken Arrow Drive – would lead to increased traffic congestion that could delay the arrival of fire trucks and ambulances.

Shorewood’s holiday tree comes from resident’s yard SPONSORED BY

It has become a holiday tradition for Shorewood to harvest its official village tree from a resident’s yard.

The 2014 Christmas tree comes to Shorewood from the Ziakis family. More than 2,500 lights are strung on the tree, located right outside the doors of Village Hall, 1 Towne Center Blvd.

“It’s absolutely perfect,” said Denise Schmidt, Shorewood’s recreation, business and special events planner. “It is the most symmetrical tree I’ve ever seen.”

When the Ziakis family purchased their home in 1979, the tree was just 6-feet tall. It took a 100-foot crane to lift the tree over the house and get it on to a flatbed for transport.

For the past four of seven years, Shorewood has solicited its tree from right within the village and will continue to source its tree from a resi-

dent going forward. If you are interested in donating a tree from your yard to the village, contact Schmidt at (815) 7417710. There is still time to get on the list as a 2015 candidate.

Schmidt and a team evaluate between 20 and 30 trees every year to select the annual Christmas tree. The 2015 Christmas tree will be selected by the end of this year.

Trees are evaluated on a number of factors, including how symmetrical it is, whether it has any brown or dead spots and how large it is. Typically, the village wants a tree that is about 30- to 40-feet tall.

There is also some science behind the selection of the tree. The village takes into account the removal of the tree and how difficult it will be. Whether it will affect the ground, other nearby trees and if they’ll have to encroach on a neighbor’s property to cut it down are all taken into account.

Schmidt said there is no cost to the homeowner to have the tree removed.

Minooka residents may not see tax hike despite increase in levy

By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – Even with a 7 percent increase in the village’s levy over last year, Minooka residents may not see much of an increase, if at all, on the village’s portion of their next property tax bills.

The village will need an additional $141,142 to keep operations running smoothly, but equalized assessed value for new property in Minooka increased by 6.4 percent, or $16.6 million, said Minooka Trustee and Finance Committee Chairman Dennis Martin.

“The expectation is, if this levy is adopted, people will pay for the village portion [about] the same as last year,” he said.

Both Will and Grundy counties have reduced their levies, Martin said – Will by 6 percent and Grundy between 7 and 8 percent.

The levy on the 2014 property taxes was approved Tuesday night by a 5-0 vote. Trustee Barry Thompson was absent.

Insurance savings

Minooka will see an overall savings on insurance premiums. Employee health insurance with Blue Cross/Blue Shield was renewed at an 11 percent increase.

Dental, which was switched to MetLife, came in 11 percent less than last year. The vil-

lage’s business insurance with Mesirow Financial also saw a decrease that represents annual savings of $15,000, Martin said.

A contract with Grundy County for animal control services in the village also will be 14 percent less in 2015.

All contracts were approved by the village board 5-0.

Emergency power program

The village of Minooka will participate in a demand response program through ComEd and subcontractor Energy Curtailment Specialists.

As a partner in the program, the village will shut down certain services during emergency situations to divert energy to other places that need it, Village Administrator Dan Duffy said.

While the services are vital to the village, they can withstand being shut down anywhere from one hour to one day, Duffy said.

The program pays the village $14,000 a year for its participation. The village will need to shut those areas down one hour a year to make sure everything is working as it should.

“This is for a time in certain disasters, when the grid demands more power, it can go to those communities that need that power,” Duffy said. “We will shut down our services

that we don’t need and essentially divert it.”

Bike path pact OK’d

A glitch in the contract between Will and Grundy counties and the village for the McEvilly Road bike path has been ironed out and the contract was again approved by the Village Board Tuesday night in a 5-0 decision.

While the intergovernmental agreement between the parties was approved at the November Village Board meeting, the village held off signing the paperwork, Duffy said.

Will County added a clause that requires Minooka to be responsible for moving the bike path if the county ever reconstructs its section of the road.

“We are going along with that added paragraph,” Duffy said. “We are the last taxing body.”

The three governmental entities will chip in $100,000 each toward the bike path’s cost, something the village worked toward for many years.

In other business, the Village Board announced village decorating contest winners.

First place went to John and Stacy Taylor and Paul and Melody Bartnik, who decorated their duplex together at 1410 and 1408 Dahlgren; second place went to Ray Novak, 111 Prairie Drive; and third place to Carol Spalo, 309 Chippewa.

New charges filed in dog shooting

By CHRISTINA CHAPMAN–VAN YPEREN cchapman@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office has filed new charges against a Morris man who was arrested this week after allegedly shooting his neighbor’s dog.

Robert L. Metroz, 36, was arrested Tuesday by the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department on a charge of aggravated cruelty to animals. On Wednesday, those charges were dropped pending further investigation and different charges were filed against him Thursday.

On Thursday, the state’s attorney’s office charged Metroz with cruelty to animals and criminal damage to property, according to judici.com. Both charges are Class A misdemeanors.

Sheriff’s police made the initial arrest Tuesday after consultation and approval from the state’s attorney’s office, Sheriff Kevin Callahan said Wednesday, noting that it is up to the state’s attorney to determine if formal charges are pursued.

Police were called Tuesday by the dog’s owners, who said they witnessed Metroz shoot and kill their 1½-year-old American bulldog, according

to a police report.

The owner said the dog ran from the house after she let it out, so she went inside to grab her coat and shoes. When she got outside, she told police she saw her neighbor shoot her dog in the head with a rifle, according to the report.

Metroz allegedly told the dog’s owners he shot their dog because it previously killed his chicken in front of his children, according to the report.

Metroz told police he shot the dog, and he then was arrested, according to the police report.

Metroz is next due in court at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 29, according to judici.com.

Kristi Waite set to retire as president of Rasmussen College Rasmussen College, a regionally accredited private college and public benefit corporation that offers classes in the Will County area, announced Wednesday that Kristi Waite plans to retire as president after serving in the post for 17 years.

“It is with gratitude and esteem for Rasmussen College that I share with you my decision to retire,” Waite said in a news release. “Taking into consideration my family and the great position Rasmussen College is currently in, I believe the time has come to pass the torch to new leadership. I do so with absolute confidence Rasmussen College is better prepared than ever to meet our students’ needs and continue our tradition of edu-

cational excellence.”

During Waite’s tenure, the college achieved regional accreditation status from the Higher Learning Commission and increased the number of programmatic accreditations, according to the news release.

In addition, the college introduced multiple initiatives to help students graduate faster and with less debt, including bachelor completer degree options along with scholarships and a college-wide tuition reduction in 2013.

Waite’s retirement will be effective March 30. Upon her retirement, Waite will assume the position of vice chairperson of the Rasmussen College Board of Directors.

Trenda Boyum-Breen has been named the new president of Rasmussen College, according to the news release.

CHICAGO – Outgoing Gov. Pat Quinn has called state lawmakers back to Springfield next month to consider a 2016 special election to replace the late Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka – a move he described Thursday as a “democratic right” but that Republicans attributed to partisan motives.

The legislative special session will be Jan. 8 – days before Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner becomes Illinois’ first GOP governor in more than a decade and would have the power to name a four-year replacement.

Topinka, a Republican, had won a second term in November but died last week.

If the Democrat-controlled Legislature approves the special election, it could cut Rauner’s anticipated appointment to just two years. A special election in 2016 with a strong Democratic presidential candidate at the top of the ticket would benefit down-ballot candidates for the party.

Quinn, who is expected to name a temporary successor to Topinka but didn’t on Thursday, said it was important ultimately to give voters a chance to decide.

“Nobody but Judy Baar Topinka was elected to do this job. That’s why it’s so important that voters have the soonest possible opportunity to elect their comptroller. Holding a special election is the right thing to do,” Quinn said in a statement. “Members of the legislature should set up a special election for 2016 so that voters can exercise their democratic right to decide who will serve as their comptroller.”

Quinn had indicated he would look to the Illinois Constitution, constitutional debates and court cases. His move follows guidance this week from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, a Democrat.

In a legal analysis, she said Quinn can appoint someone until Jan. 12, when Rauner

takes office. After that, Rauner could name a four-year replacement. However, Madigan also urged a 2016 election, saying it was “undemocratic” for an appointee to fully take over an elected office.

Republicans criticized Quinn’s decision, saying the only “constitutionally responsible” choice is for Rauner to name a successor whose term lasts until 2018.

“A partisan and constitutionally dubious 11th-hour law would face a certain legal challenge and force the people of Illinois to endure a protracted legal battle that no one wants,” read a statement from Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno and House Republican Leader Jim Durkin.

Rauner spokesman Mike Schrimpf has said the incoming governor intends to appoint a full-term comptroller when he’s sworn in. He questioned the motives of the special session.

“Any major change like this should apply to all future vacancies and be carefully and thoughtfully discussed – not rushed through in a last-minute special session that would look overtly political,” Schrimpf said Thursday.

Topinka would have been the only other Republican constitutional officer to serve with Rauner and his lieutenant governor-elect.

“Gov. Quinn is doing what he can do within the short period of time that he has left,” said Kent Redfield, a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Springfield. “The politics definitely favor the Democrats – I don’t think there’s any question about that.”

While they’re already in Springfield, legislative leaders could try to take up other issues.

Quinn has been pushing an increase in the state’s minimum wage for more than a year, but lawmakers adjourned earlier this month with only the Senate’s approval on an increase from $8.25 to $11 over time.

Illinois brothers plead guilty to U.S. tax fraud

PEORIA – Two Illinois brothers have pleaded guilty in what federal authorities say was a $6.1 million tax fraud scheme.

U.S. Attorney Jim Lewis said Wednesday that 50-year-old Shaher Mizyed of Naperville and 46-year-old Mohammad Mizyed of Peoria will be sentenced in April for crimes including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Authorities said the brothers who formerly owned and operated a Fast Stop service station in Peoria admitted to conspiring to file false federal corporate income tax returns from 2006 through 2010.

Mohammad Mizyed also pleaded guilty to mail fraud and said he fraudulently received about $160,000 in state medical benefits.

Conspiracy to defraud the U.S. carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and mail fraud crimes carry a penalty of up to 20 years.

UIC names its next chancellor

CHICAGO – The University of Illinois at Chicago has announced a provost at the University of South Carolina will be its next chancellor.

Michael D. Amiridis is executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. He was named UIC chancellor Thursday pending formal approval from the Board of Trustees members at their Jan. 15 meeting. He would take office March 16.

Amiridis succeeds Paula Allen-Meares who will return to the faculty. He will take over several months after the UIC faculty members voted in favor of a “no confidence” resolution against

Former Illinois Gov. George Ryan speaks at his home July 3 in Kankakee. Ryan said on Wednesday that restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba will open new markets for the United States. Ryan visited Cuba in 1999 and met with then-President Fidel Castro. At the time it was the first visit by a U.S. governor to Cuba since Castro’s 1959 revolution. Ryan praised President Barack Obama’s shift in U.S.-Cuba policy.

“It’s not an easy political thing to do, and I’m sure the President is going to find that out, but I want to congratulate him on his efforts here today,” Ryan said.

U.S. attorney: No racial bias in office

SPRINGFIELD – The U.S. attorney overseeing public-corruption convictions of several black defendants in central Illinois in recent years says racial bias is not involved.

James Lewis is the Justice Department’s prosecutor in Springfield. He spoke Wednesday after black businessman Leon Dingle Jr. and his wife, Karin, who is white, were convicted of stealing $3.4 million in Illinois Department of Public Health grant money.

Lewis says trial evidence “has no color.”

Dr. Eric Whitaker – the black

former public health director and President Barack Obama’s friend – testified outside the jury’s presence in the trial. He criticized Lewis for a disproportionate number of blacks prosecuted.

Lewis’s boss, Attorney General Eric Holder – a black man and friend of Whitaker and Obama – has said his Springfield-based prosecutors act in a “neutral” manner.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Tsarnaev appears in court clear diplomacy with the Islamic republic. for 1st time since 2013

BOSTON – Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev returned to court Thursday for the first time since he was arraigned in July 2013, and he received a shout of encouragement from the mother-in-law of a man who was shot and killed while being questioned by law enforcement after the bombings.

Security was tight at the federal courthouse in Boston for Tsarnaev’s final pretrial conference. Tensions ran high, and one bombing victim had a testy exchange with protesters outside.

During the brief court hearing, U.S. District Court George O’Toole Jr. made no rulings, saying he would rule in writing on pending motions, including the defense’s latest push to move the trial out of Boston.

David Bruck, one of Tsarnaev’s lawyers, told the judge that the defense plans to file a motion to delay the trial, which is now scheduled to begin on Jan. 5 with jury selection. Bruck did not say how long of a delay the defense will seek.

The decision was made at a September meeting of the department’s advisory committee on historical diplomatic documentation and recorded in minutes released this week. The foreign relations records aren’t supposed to be suppressed for longer than three decades.

Stephen Randolph, the department’s historian, informed the gathering that the volume on U.S. policy in Iran would be withheld “because of ongoing negotiations with Iran.”

Feds sue NYC over Rikers Island jail violence

NEW YORK – Federal prosecutors sued New York City on Thursday to speed the pace of reforms at the Rikers Island jail complex and address what a Justice Department investigation found was a “deep-seated culture of violence” toward young inmates.

DIGITAL DILEMMA

How will the U.S. respond to Sony hack?

By ERIC TUCKER and TAMI ABDOLLAH The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The detective work blaming North Korea for the Sony hacker break-in appears so far to be largely circumstantial, The Associated Press has learned.

The dramatic conclusion of a Korean role is based on subtle clues in the hacking tools left behind and the involvement of at least one computer in Bolivia previously traced to other attacks blamed on the North Koreans.

Experts cautioned that hackers notoriously employ disinformation to throw investigators off their tracks, using borrowed tools, tampering with logs and inserting false references to language or nationality.

The hackers are believed to have been conducting surveillance on the network at Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. since at least the spring, based on computer forensic evidence and traffic analysis, a person with knowledge of the investigation told the AP. If the hackers hadn’t made their presence known by making demands and destroying files, they probably would still be inside because there was no indication their presence was about to be detected, the person said. This person, who described the evidence as circumstantial, spoke only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk openly about the case.

Still, the evidence has been considered conclusive enough that a U.S. official told the AP that federal investigators have now connected the Sony hacking to North Korea.

In public, White House spokesman Josh Earnest on Thursday declined to blame North Korea, saying he didn’t want to get ahead of investigations by the Justice Department and the FBI. Earnest said evidence shows the hacking was carried out by a “so-

Now its American movie division, a trophy asset, is facing tens of millions of dollars in losses from leaks by hackers that attacked the company over the movie that spoofs an assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Sony Pictures canceled all release plans for the film at the heart of the attack. phisticated actor” with “malicious intent.”

All this has led to a dilemma for the Obama administration: How and whether to respond?

An earlier formal statement by the White House National Security Council also did not name North Korea but noted that “criminals and foreign countries regularly seek to gain access to government and private sector networks” and said “we are considering a range of options in weighing a potential response. “ The U.S. official who cited North Korea spoke on condition of anonymity because that official was not authorized to openly discuss an ongoing criminal case.

U.S. options against North Korea are limited. The U.S. already has a trade embargo in place, and there is no appetite for military action. Even if investigators could identify and prosecute the individual hackers believed responsible, there’s no guarantee that any who are overseas would ever see a U.S. courtroom. Hacking back at North Korean targets

by U.S. government experts

could encourage further attacks against American targets.

“We don’t sell them anything, we don’t buy anything from them and we don’t have diplomatic relations,” said William Reinsch, a former senior U.S. Commerce Department official who was responsible for enforcing international sanctions against North Korea and other countries. “There aren’t a lot of public options left.”

Sony abruptly canceled the Dec. 25 release of its comedy, “The Interview,” which the hackers had demanded partly because it included a scene depicting the assassination of North Korea’s leader. Sony cited the hackers’ threats of violence at movie theaters that planned to show the movie, although the Homeland Security Department said there was no credible intelligence of active plots.

The hackers had been releasing onto the Internet huge amounts of highly sensitive – and sometimes embarrassing – confidential files they stole from inside Sony’s computer network.

Thumbs-up to spreading good cheer

The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-up and thumbs-down: Thumbs-up: to the various Shop with a Cop programs that were held in our area this month. Shop with a Cop is an outreach program used by police departments throughout Illinois and in other states each Christmas. Beyond the generosity of it – cops buy

presents for local children, many from homes where finances are tight – the program allows children and officers to break down barriers as they spend time together. Children often only see police officers when something bad happens; this allows kids to see them as moms, dads or perhaps an older sibling.

Thumbs-up: to Lucille Shep-

ich of Joliet for her joyful and upbeat approach to life and all-around holiday good cheer.

A lung cancer diagnosis at 90 hasn’t daunted Shepich. She’s not only smiling and cracking jokes despite chemotherapy treatments and supplemental oxygen, she filled an 11-foot tree for Joliet Oncology-Hematology Associates that her family donated with her

handmade ribbon ornaments, in colors symbolic of most known cancers. And why did she do it? So people, regardless of circumstances, will feel hope.

Thumbs-up: to Channahon School District 17 for giving serious consideration to reducing school fees and to the village of Channahon for keeping its tax rate steady

rather than going after more money from property owners. The Channahon school board is expected to vote on proposed fee reductions in January. Both units of local government recognize that times remain tough for average people, and now is not the time for local government to take every dollar it can get.

WRESTLING: BOLINGBROOK 35, JOLIET WEST 27

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Friday, December 19, 2014

JOLIET – A year ago, Bolingbrook wrestling coach Dan Bullivant was used to seeing his squad far from full strength because of a slew of injuries.

But it’s a different story this season for the Raiders, as was evidenced by their performance in Thursday’s SouthWest Suburban Conference dual meet at Joliet West.

Bolingbrook had a full lineup against the Tigers, and needed just that, as it rallied from an early 19-0 deficit to claim a 35-27 victory.

“I have high expectations for these kids, and I’m holding them to it,” Bullivant said.

“Last year, we were riddled with injuries, and four guys who were injured last year are back in the lineup. Last year, we had to have JV guys step up and some of them struggled, but we learned a lot. This was our first meet where we had everyone in the lineup, and we definitely needed all of them since Joliet West always has a solid program. This was a big win for us.”

The Tigers received pins from Darvell Flagg (106 pounds) and Austin Poch (113) to start the meet and then David Gutierrez (120) won a major decision and Sergio Hernandez edged Frankie Rodriguez, 4-1, to make it 19-0, which was then reduced by a point because of an unsportsmanlike conduct call.

That’s when the Raiders started their comeback with Jaime Vega (132) recording a quick fall and Titus Wonsey (138) following with a pin to make the score, 18-12.

“I threw my kid right away to get it over with, and that started the momentum,” Vega said. “We worked hard this week for this, and then we have a quad this weekend and then go to the Dvorak. I like this team’s heart. When we’re in practice, we push each other.”

Josh Alexander (145) kept things going for the Brook with a win by technical fall and then Clarence Golden used a second-period escape to claim a 1-0 win over Lajon Davis at 152 to put the Raiders in front for

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: LEWIS 68, NORTHERN MICHIGAN 58

Flyers rally in second half, still unbeaten

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Staying unbeaten 10 games into a season is not an easy feat. Yet, that’s what Lewis University women’s basketball team accomplished on Thursday night.

The Flyers kept their perfect record intact after defeating nonconference rival Northern Michigan, 68-58, at Neil Carey Arena. The Wildcats gave them a run for their money, however.

“Northern Michigan beat us last year, and they beat us pretty easily,” said Lewis senior forward Jess Reinhart. “I think that we knew they were going to be a good team.”

Lewis started off the game

fast and took an early 5-0 lead, but Northern’s Alyssa Colla helped the Wildcats (4-4) battle point for point throughout the game. With three seconds remaining in the first half, Colla hit a 3-pointer and her team took the first lead of the game at 33-32.

Colla scored 17 points to lead her team, but the aggressive Flyers’ defense limited other strong offensive performances.

Lewis also outrebounded the Wildcats, 44-36, and also held advantages in blocks (10-5) and steals (8-2).

Defense won the game for the normally high-scoring Flyers (10-0).

“It’s probably the first time that we’ve really had to rely on

our defense down the stretch in some key situations,” Flyers coach Lisa Carlsen said.

“I thought that the kids really responded well to kind of a gutcheck game. We’re used to scoring 70, 80 points, and I thought that Northern Michigan did a great job of containing us offensively.

“To have to draw on other areas for us, I think is great at this point of the season because that’s likely to come into play again a in tough situation. It could be a great learning experience for us.”

Two other people helped the Flyers get their 10th win.

Reinhart had a season-high 27 point-performance, while adding 10 rebounds, two blocks,

By JEFF DEGRAW JOLIET – Joliet West’s girls basketball hosted Thornton on Thursday and fell victim to a great free throw shooting performance by the Wildcats, who captured a 56-50 victory.

Thornton (4-4) went 26 of 36 from the free-throw line and hit 13 of 18 in the pivotal fourth quarter.

With the game tied at 36, the Tigers (1-9) scored six unanswered points to take a 42-39 lead with 4:58 left in the SouthWest Suburban Conference crossover game.

West sophomore Raven Reed hit a basket with 1:50 remaining to keep West ahead, 50-47. Thornton’s Brianna Anthony hit a jumper with a minute left to tie the score at 50.

A steal by Monique Williams with 40 seconds to go gave the Tigers an opportunity to get the lead, but a missed

shot followed by the Wildcats going 3 of 4 from the free-throw line down the stretch, sealed the outcome.

“We have to learn how to finish, especially when we have the lead with two minutes to go,” West coach John Placher said. “As a coach, maybe I should have something different down the stretch, but this is a learning process for all of us.”

West finished the night going 16 of 30 on free throws and was 9 of 14 in the second quarter.

West trailed, 10-8, at the end of the first quarter, but behind Reed and junior Kierra Tyler, it took a 20-15 lead with 2:11 remaining before the break.

That’s when the Wildcats went 6- for-6 from the line and hit a 3-pointer to take a 24-21 lead at the half.

In the third quarter, West fought back after being down, 31-25, to tie the score at 36, on a basket by Kelly Plyer after

“I’m sure if I was just a post player on the court, I wouldn’t get the ball at all,” Brawner-Henley said. “It’s a big ups to my teammates. They give me the ball and I’m able to finish inside. I know that my teammates trust me and I trust them also. When I get the ball in a crucial point in the game, I can either score or kick it out and they’ll hit a shot.”

Jamie Johnson contributed nine points and four blocks, while Kristin Itschner registered seven points, four assists, one steal and a block and Alexus Grayer tallied seven points, two blocks and two rebounds.

Nikki Nellen and Alyssa Dengler each had two assists and two steals.

an assist and a steal.

Another strong performer was forward Mariya Brawner-Henley. The 6-foot junior had 17 points, three assists and two assists. However, her most impressive stat is that she led all players with 15 rebounds.

Brawner-Henley battled for rebounds against girls who measured as tall as 6-foot-4 and beat them consistently throughout the game.

“I’m a lot quicker jumper than most of the bigger girls,” Brawner-Henley said. “So I just think that I have a nose for the ball and any rebound that I can get to help my teammates out is great.”

As for her solid offensive performance?

an offensive rebound with 10 seconds left in the quarter.

“We will win this type of game in the future,” Placher said. “It’s going to take some time, but you can learn a lot from a game like this. It’s a learning experience for all of us. These are the type of close games we need to be in.”

The Tigers had a balanced scoring attack with sophomore Madi Mulder scoring 12 points, including five in the fourth quarter. Reed contributed 11 with Tyler (6 of 8 on free throws) and Plyer each adding 10.

“Plyer did a great job rebounding and scoring on the inside. Kierra plays great defense, some of the best in my 19 years of coaching. They all played hard and never quit, we will get there,” Placher said.

Mya Robinson who finished with 16 points, led Thornton, which had nine different players in the scoring column.

WRESTLING: KANELAND 68, MORRIS 9

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

Morris’ Abby Eisenbeis wrestles against Kaneland’s Christian Girolams in the 113-pound match on Thursday night in Morris. Eisenbeis was pinned, and the Redskins lost, 68-9. trying to work with her. She hung in there real well and she would have had that guy stuck if they didn’t go out of bounds.

If she does that when they are in the middle of the mat, she wins.”

Eisenbeis, just a sophomore, was one of many young Redskins to see varsity time Thursday in the Northern Illinois Big 12 dual. Freshmen Jeffery Palmer, Cody Baldridge, Michael Milton, Zack Cortez and Marques Kjellesvik and sophomores Eisenbeis, Ethan Elleson and Charlie Clark were all in the lineup, making more than 50 percent of the Morris

wrestlers underclassmen.

“We’ve had some sickness going through our team,” Lanning said. “Especially with the older guys. Shawn Hennessy didn’t wrestle tonight because of it, and some of the seniors that did wrestle are battling it right now, too. It happens every year. You just have to get through it.”

The match started at 132, and Dominic Byerly, one of the seniors fighing the illness, was pinned in 3:50 after a scoreless first period. Elleson then lost by pin in 1:17 to Mitchell Jones before Kaneland’s George Strang pinned Palmer in 1:06

at 145 to make the score 18-0 in favor of the Knights.

At 152, A.J. Vota took down Kaneland’s Hayden Patterson in the first round to take a 2-0 lead, but Patterson scored an escape in the second to trim Vota’s lead to 2-1. Vota held on throughout the third period and emerged with the victory to run his record to 8-2 on the season. Baldridge then dropped a tough 4-2 match to Kaneland’s Riley Vanik at 160.

“A.J. had a good match tonight, and so did Cody,” Lanning said. “Cody has had four or five losses this year all by a point or two. If we can close

MORRIS – It’s not often that a 59-point dual meet loss results in something positive for a program’s history, but Thursday’s 68-9 defeat to Kaneland did just that for Morris’ wrestling program.

That’s because, in the 12th match of the night, Morris coach Jon Lanning sent Abby Eisenbeis to the mat in the 113-pound bout against Kaneland’s Christian Girolams.

When the opening whistle blew, Eisenbeis became the first female in Morris history to wrestle a varsity match at home.

“It was really cool,” she was heard to say to more than one teammate, despite losing by a pin in 2:41.

And, although the record book will say she got pinned, she was very close doing the pinning herself, had the wrestlers not rolled out of bounds.

“I thought we would take a look at her tonight and see what she could do,” Morris coach Jon Lanning said. “She wrestled varsity for us up at Rich East, but this is the first time at home.

“She goes hard and is very good with her legs. She has a jiu-jitsu background, and they do a lot of fighting from their backs in that. That’s the cardinal sin in wrestling, so we are

that little gap as the year goes on, he’s going have a good year.”

Ryan Olsen lost a technical fall, 18-3, to Collin Gussman at 170 and Ryan Kowalczyk was pinned in 1:14 at 182 by Zac Parker. Kaneland’s Tom Price pinned Victor Toussaint in 2:18 at 195 before Clark won by forfeit at 220 to make it 589. Andrew Faught was pinned

by Zach Thielk with just 30 seconds left in the match after leading 1-0 through two periods.

At 106, Milton was pinned in 50 seconds by Austin Kedzie.

Cortez lost by pin in 49 seconds to Adam Mish and Kaneland’s Matt Redman ended the night with a pin of Kjellesvik in 2:55 at 126.

“Our freshmen are taking some lumps,” Lanning said.

“Our conference is one of the top Class 2A conferences in the state, so we are going to have some rough nights. These matches build experience and character. Look at Andrew Faught. He wrestled varsity as a freshman and took some lumps. He took fewer of them as a sophomore, then was a 20plus match winner last year and is going great this year.

Guys like A.J. and Emmitt Chouinard did, too.

“Our freshmen can look at them and see that if they stick with it, they can be successful.

That’s what we’re hoping for.”

HARD WORK KEY TO NFL STARDOM Ninkovich took unlikely path; now a Patriots’ stalwart Note to readers

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com

onsider his job at a landscaping company the last time Rob Ninkovich didn’t finish something he

started.

“I remember walking into the office and the owner asked me what I wanted to get paid an hour,” Ninkovich recalled.

“I said ‘seven dollars an hour?’ He said ‘fair enough.’

“I thought instantly in my head I should have asked for more, because that day of working consisted of filling up buckets of rock and transporting, so that was not the easiest seven dollars an hour job. I didn’t work very long at that, only a couple days and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

That was the summer after Ninkovich’s sophomore year at Lincoln-Way Central High School in New Lenox. It was just one of his summer jobs that also included helping build a bridge and hanging beams on buildings 20 stories high.

Ninkovich hasn’t gone about things the easy way in his life, but while he didn’t last long with that landscaping company, he has become an ironman for the New England Patriots in a league known for attrition, showing an ability to sustain success year after year, and it can all be traced back to his start outside Chicago.

••• Ninkovich admits he was “pretty bad” during his first experience in football, which wasn’t until freshman year in high school. He played offensive guard and defensive end as a sophomore, and then he started getting noticed.

“Junior year, we saw it.

We knew he was going to be

in New Lenox.

“We graded their effort in high school, and he always got great effort grades,” he said.

“He was never getting marked for dogging it or doing extra running for doing something other than full speed. He plays that way still. Besides his athleticism, his attitude and the motor he has really carried him a long way.”

Those attributes formed at Lincoln-Way Central got Ninkovich ready for the next step – not the most ideal, but the JUCO route at Joliet Junior College.

ABOVE: Green Bay running back Eddie Lacy is hit during a run by New England Patriots defensive end ••• Rob Ninkovich (50) and free safety Devin McCourty (32) on Nov. 30 in Green Bay, Wis. TOP: Ninkovich, a Ninkovich drove to and Lincoln-Way Central grad, smiles as he answers a reporter’s question in the team locker room Wednesday from school and practice before practice in Foxborough, Mass. every day. He bought his a great ballplayer,” said Rob Glielmi, then Ninkovich’s head coach at Lincoln-Way Central and now an assistant at Lincoln-Way North. “We knew he was really good. We knew he was a D-I type kid his junior year, he was just good with his hands, he could turn his hips when he pass rushed, could really turn the corner.”

The Ninkovich that hasn’t missed an NFL game since Nov. 22, 2009, reached the brink during his senior year in a game against Carl Sandburg High School, days after Sept. 11.

“You hear coaches say, ‘Play so hard, if we have to carry you off the field, we’ll carry you off the field.’ Well, he’s the only player I’ve ever had that literally collapsed

from exhaustion at the end of the game,” Glielmi said.

“That’s the one guy in my career where I can say ‘Yep, he literally left it all on the field.’ If we had to play one more play, he didn’t have it because he went to exhaustion, literally.”

When Ninkovich looks back on his high school playing days, he remembers the no-nonsense coaching from Glielmi, part of the formula that has turned Ninkovich into the player he is today.

“He was very blunt with you, got you to do your job,” Ninkovich said. “If you weren’t doing it the right way, he told you about it. I had no problem with that. I respected that. I think that he prepared me well for the next level,

then Purdue, the NFL.” Glielmi remembers Ninkovich as one of those “coachable” players, someone who makes a coach’s life easier.

“He would do whatever you asked,” he said. “He was smart and just kept getting better and better. Very likable guy, so it was easy to coach him. It’s a lot more fun coaching the guys that have high character and maturity.”

Ninkovich often gets labeled as a player “whose motor never stops.”

Effort is never an issue for Ninkovich, who admits he’s not your prototypical player in terms of size and speed, and it’s that effort that helps him get to the quarterback, and Glielmi saw that 14 years ago

own cleats and wore his high school pads.

“That whole experience gave me a lot more of my work ethic and drive to be where I’m at now,” he said.

He remembers “maybe 100 people” at his first home game. “I had more people watching my high school games,” he said, but Ninkovich wasn’t deterred. In fact, he didn’t have a Plan B as he continued his football career.

“I was pretty much all in the whole time. I never really thought of an alternative plan,” he said. “I’m a big believer in putting all your eggs in one basket. Everyone says don’t put all your eggs in one basket, I’m opposite of that.

See STARDOM, page 35

• STARDOM

Continued from page 34 “The only way you’re going to be better at something is if you go all-in at it. I knew that I had talent, I knew that I had the ability. I just had to continue to work and put up with the ups and downs of a football career and how it goes.”

••• “I pretty much give him credit for all the things that I’ve been brought up with, all the credit for my work ethic,” Ninkovich says of his father.

“My mom as well. They’re both very hard-working people, my whole family.

“If you want things in life, you have to go out and work for them.

Nothing’s given to you. At a young age, I realized my dad’s working seven days a week for a reason, that’s to put food on the table, give us the house that I was in, the things that I needed growing up, sports equipment, all that stuff you need to raise a family.

You’ve got to work.”

Ninkovich’s mother was a teacher, and both his parents are retired now.

He said his dad retired after having logged 74,000 hours.

“He learned work ethic from them, they’re good people,” said Glielmi.

“They instilled in him the work ethic.

Somewhere along the line he learned that success is not always right around the corner, that sometimes it’s a delayed thing.”

“In my family, everything has been worked for,” Ninkovich said. “My grandfather was an ironworker, my mother’s father was an ironworker who, to this day, is as tough as they come.

“Growing up and seeing both my grandfathers, my dad, I think it’s just listening to them talk, their stories and all the things they’ve done in their lifetime, it just kind of makes you … if you ever think that something’s hard,

you think of what they’ve done in their life.”

Despite two contract extensions, Ninkovich has never forgotten his roots and how he got to where he is today. He explained what he means when he calls himself a “blue-collar NFL football player.”

“I don’t have the 4.6, 4.5 speed. I’m not 6-foot-6, 285 pounds. I don’t have that ‘it’ factor when you look at me as far as ‘this guy played nine years in the league.’ But I think all that comes back to the work ethic, and outworking people. That’s what it comes down to.

“However long the game’s going, I’m going to outwork you the whole game. I’ve been able to make a bunch of plays in this league that I knew I could make, that I just needed an opportunity to make, and the Patriots were the ones that gave me that opportunity to get on the field and show everybody that I could do it at a high level.

“I think it all comes down to having that same mentality – I’m a worker, I’m going to work. The harder you work, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. As far as the contract goes, if you’re in it for that, you’re in it for the wrong reasons. It doesn’t matter what you’re playing for, you’ve got to have pride in what you’re doing. If you’re just playing for a contract, you’re not going to be in the league that long anyways. It takes a lot to stick around and stay in this league for a long time.”

Bears defensive end Trevor Scott spend only one year in New England on the same defensive line with Ninkovich, but says he still stays in touch with him and appreciated that work ethic.

“He is a great story from where he

started from, being a long snapper and a backup guy,” Scott said. “Kept working over the years, worked his way up. He doesn’t take it for granted. Every day he came in and busted his butt in the weight room and the practice field.”

••• Ninkovich gets back to New Lenox for a few weeks every year and stays with his parents. He said the restaurant he always hits up is Pizza King – “that’s some of the best stuff around.”

The former Lincoln-Way Central Knight has gone back to visit his school and help out his former coaches as well.

“He’s come back here and talked to the high school kids,” Glielmi said.

“He should be a coach, he says all the right things. He’s very well spoken.

He’s a great guy for the Patriots not just on the field, but off the field. I’m sure of it.”

Ninkovich actually grew up a Cowboys fan – “In the ’90s, the Bears weren’t too hot” – and while his parents are Bears fans, he said they’ve become “Rob Ninkovich fans.”

Glielmi and Ninkovich’s other coaches from New Lenox joke that they are “iso-camming” on their former pupil, a reference to an isolated camera they’ll use during games to zoom in on one player.

“It’s been exciting watching him grow and excel and being a captain. I followed it as much as I can,” Glielmi said.

When back in New Lenox, Ninkovich can get reminders of those odd jobs – at least, odd for a professional football player – and he does clarify that the well-circulated story of him being suspended while helping build a bridge was a safe situation.

“I was suspended, but I wasn’t like 1,000 feet in the air,” he said. “I was working, helping build a bridge, doing things, but I was tied up and safety was huge for me. My cousin was actually the boss at the job, and my Dad told him, don’t get him killed, don’t get him hurt. He was keeping me safe.”

It’s just another building block that helped form Rob Ninkovich, a nobody as a freshman in high school, a junior college player, someone trying to be a long snapper in the NFL to one of the current longest-tenured Patriots, a symbol of durability in a sport known for its short careers.

Ninkovich has fans at every stop he’s made along the way to an impressive NFL career, especially back home.

“We’re pulling for him all the time and it’s great to see a guy...” Glielmi said, “you like to see good people have good things happen to, and he’s a good example of that.”

• Friday, December 19, 2014

••• The next part of the Ninkovich story was a little more, well, normal, compared to his NFL teammates.

He went from Joliet to Purdue, first as a tight end, but after one practice, back to defensive end – “they never moved him again,” Gleilmi said.

Ninkovich had 16 sacks in his two seasons in West Lafayette, approximately 120 miles from his hometown, and was a fifth-round pick by the Saints in 2006.

Between his rookie season, where he appeared in three games, and August 2009, when he first joined the Patriots, Ninkovich spent time with the Saints and Dolphins as a special teamer and on their practice squads, being shuffled on and off rosters. He tried to make the Saints in ’09 as a long snapper, but was waived in late July. For most players, that would be it for an NFL career, but the Saints and Dolphins missed something.

2010 was Ninkovich’s breakout season, when he had 58 tackles, four sacks and three fumble recoveries. He received a two-year, $4 million extension at the start of the 2011 season and went on to start every game for New England, including the three playoff games.

In 2012 back at defensive end, after having played linebacker in the Patriots’ 3-4 defense, Ninkovich had eight sacks, and was named a team captain in 2013, the year he also received his latest new contract – a three-year, $15 million extension with $8 million guaranteed. He’s the only player in the Belichick era with back-to-back seasons of at least eight sacks.

This season, Ninkovich has started all 14 games heading into the 11-3 Patriots’ Sunday game against the Jets and has 54 tackles and eight sacks.

Since the Saints gave up on Ninkovich and Bill Belichick gave him a chance, Ninkovich has appeared in 84 consecutive regular-season games, which leads all active defensive ends. His 63 consecutive starts are also tops at his position. He is a mainstay in the front seven of the Patriots’ defense, a stalwart up front on the best franchise over the past decade and a half.

Ninkovich credits all the success

to the work ethic he learned in New Lenox. You see, the ironman learned from the ironworker, Mike Ninkovich.

Trestman regime ranks among worst I began covering the NFL in 1977 and started to focus on the Bears in 1979.

Over those 38 seasons, I’ve seen some inept football operations, teams that made dysfunction a way of life.

I just don’t have the time right now to do the research to crown the 2014 Bears as the kings of the clowns, but there absolutely is no question they are among the top four or five finalists.

Thursday was the last straw. Coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery have found a way to make quarterback Jay Cutler a sympathetic character.

While Emery stayed somewhere under deep cover again, Trestman faced the media and came off as some delusional commander who actually is the only one in town who doesn’t know the war is lost and he will be the first and most deeply wounded casualty.

Cutler, on the other hand, took to the dais for a news conference he didn’t have to hold and absolutely knocked it out of the park in the role of mature, responsible, accountable and remorseful adult and great teammate standing up for himself and his guys.

He was strong, he was brave, he was funny, he was contrite, he was approachable, he was accountable and, at times, he was sympathetic taking his lashing and speaking well of the folks who threw him under the bus.

Unfortunately, it was all the things he’s failed to be until just the past few weeks of his six seasons with the

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Bears.

Asked if he thought his benching was fair, Cutler responded, “There’s a lot in that question. I haven’t really thought about it that deeply. All I know is there’s a lot of money involved in my contract, which comes with a lot of expectations and a lot of responsibility. And whenever you’re not winning and performing the way you should, there’s a likelihood that could happen.”

Asked if he still wanted to play for the Bears, Cutler said, “I would like to stay here. I really like it here.

I love the guys in the locker room that I get to play with. Clearly, it’s a different circumstance now. But going forward, this is where I’d like to be.”

Given the chance to go after the guy who just benched him, he said, “Yeah.

There’s a lot that goes into football games – offensively, defensively, special teamswise. Marc’s still a heck of a football coach. He’s a heck of an offensive coach. He’s a heck of a quarterback’s coach. I still truly believe that.”

Let’s forget for just a moment there is absolutely nothing for anybody involved in this circus to gain from Cutler’s benching and let’s just look for a moment at the Bears now second-string, $100 million quarterback.

I understand a large

segment of Bears fans have grown weary of Cutler, some disgusted and many even angry that he has failed to be the player you hoped and were led to believe he would be. He deserves that.

And for too long, he failed to vaguely resemble the class act he was in his humble pie news conference.

Emery brought Trestman here to be DaVinci to Cutler’s Mona Lisa, but you all were sold a bill of goods.

In 20 years, Trestman spent 17 seasons with eight different teams, three times lasting only one year, four times two years and only twice making it through a third season.

Why? Today, Trestman presides over one of the worst teams, dysfunctional locker rooms and inept offenses in the league, and yet everyone continues to insist on ignoring the fact he took over a 10-6 football team less than two years ago.

I get all the issues Cutler has had with almost all of his coaches in the past and no one is suggesting amnesty.

But if you put all your bias aside and think about it, as bad a job as Emery and Trestman have done, isn’t it just possible Cutler is as much a victim this time as he is the cause?

Cutler might never be the quarterback we think he can be, but Trestman never was the guy to make it happen either.

SPORTS BRIEF Butler scores 35 as the Bulls defeat the Knicks

CHICAGO – Jimmy Butler scored a career-high 35 points and the Chicago Bulls beat the New York Knicks, 103-97, Thursday night in a game missing AllStars Derrick Rose and Carmelo Anthony.

Playing without Rose, who sat out with an illness, the Bulls got another strong game from

Butler. He was 11 of 21 from the floor with four 3-pointers, five rebounds, seven assists and four steals.

Still, the Bulls had trouble shaking a short-handed New York team that’s lost three straight and 13 of 14. The Knicks were led

by Tim Hardaway Jr., who had 23 points and five 3-pointers.

Samuel Dalembert made a basket with 2 seconds left in the

third quarter to give the Knicks a 74-73 lead heading into the fourth. New York outscored the Bulls, 29-21, in the third, holding the Bulls to six field goals.

The Bulls responded in the fourth, going on a 12-0 run to take an 87-77 lead, a spurt that included a dunk by Butler with 8:43 to go and was capped by Nikola Mirotic’s 3-pointer.

MOVING AWAY FROM 2-D New DVD from Plainfield fiber artist adds new dimension to handmade quilts Get quilting

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

P

LAINFIELD – Quilters: Looking to add texture and dimension to traditional or art quilts?

In her 76-minute DVD, “Heirloom Sewing Techniques for Today’s Quilter,” experienced Plainfield quilter Cheryl Sleboda shows how to add pleats, tucks and smockings to quilts.

The DVD is useful for quilters without a sewing background and/or those who find it easier to learn by demonstration than written instructions. Nevertheless, viewers do need basic quilting experience.

“This is not ‘Quilting 101,’ ” Sleboda said.

“Heirloom Sewing Techniques for Today’s Quilter” was shot with the camera looking down at Sleboda’s work, so the viewer sees what the quilter sees, Sleboda said.

The skills offered can be incorporated into nearly any pattern, she added.

“People have been using these techniques as far back as people have been making decorative clothing,” Sleboda said. “But using them in quilts is new.”

Why would a quilter want to add texture and dimension?

Several reasons, Sleboda said.

Often times, when people hear “quilt,” they think of fabric squares that have been stitched together to form a pattern on a flat surface.

However, modern quilts have evolved past the two-dimensional coverlets that only adorned beds and the back of couches, Sleboda said. Some quilts today are designed as art or decorative pieces, to be hung on a wall and admired, she added.

In other cases, textures on baby quilts fascinate infants; on lap quilts they soothe

Cheryl Sleboda, a Plainfield fiber artist, stands near one of her art quilts. patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Sleboda said. But whether quilters wants to add

simple texture here and there or design a pictorial landscape, Sleboda’s DVD can help

them do it.

“It’s a list of techniques people can add to their arse-

nals,” Sleboda said.

On her website at www. muppin.com, Sleboda identified herself a fiber artist, one who incorporates nontraditional elements into her work, such as LEDs and circuity.

Sleboda has gradually built her arsenal. Originally from Midlothian, Sleboda said she learned to sew in home economics in grade school and high school, but didn’t tackle quilting until 18 years ago.

Sleboda has appeared on Quilting Arts TV and featured in two quilting magazines, Quilting Arts and Generation Q, according to a news release from Sleboda.

Sleboda has received awards at major quilt shows and been published in show catalogues, and is available for lectures and workshops.

“Heirloom Sewing Techniques for Today’s Quilter,” is not the first resource she’s designed for quilters.

About a year ago, Sleboda designed a template for Canadian smocking, which is done by stitching fabric together on the back in such a way as to create a woven look on the front.

The template comes with a set of written instructions and takes the guessing out of smocking, Sleboda said.

Part of the fun for today’s quilters, Sleboda said, is that they can draw on the experiences of foremothers and grandmothers, as well as newest techniques and tools as they are developed.

“It’s an exciting time to be a quilter,” Sleboda said. “The sky’s the limit.”

Study music technology at JJC The HERALD-NEWS JOLIET – The Joliet Junior College Fine Arts Department is now one of the only local colleges in the area offering a state-of-the art music technology program.

JJC’s program, which contains classes that teach production and sound skills, along with the fundamentals of music and music business, will help students gain

careers as live sound engineers, sound editors, audio operators, composers, music producers, music teachers or small music recording business owners.

Studying music technology also can help students land unique careers, such as composing music for a video game company, or managing live sound at an amusement park.

Before JJC, David Nuccio,

program coordinator, practiced music technology at his Chicago-based small business called “Nuccio Music Productions,” which created jingles for commercials and produced other small projects.

In class, students will work with new technology including piano keyboards hooked up to computers with programs that allow students to manipulate music. JJC also now has a recording studio,

with high-tech soundboards and other audio technology.

In addition to the basics of music technology, students will also learn about copyright laws, publishing, independent music companies, the recording industry and the entire music industry – from pop music to symphony, opera and jazz.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Defenders use the same strategy

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Naomi Judd, a country singer and songwriter who had 15 No. 1 hits with her daughter, Wynonna Judd, said, “A dead-end street is a good place to turn around.”

In yesterday’s deal, declarer used an opponent’s opening bid to help him place the missing honor cards. This can also be done by the defenders. Look at the North and East hands. South is in four spades after the given auction.

West leads the heart ace. How should East plan the defense?

South’s two-spade rebid guaranteed at least a six-card suit. With only five spades, he would have shown a second suit, rebid in no-trump or raised clubs. North jumped to game, of course.

At trick one, East had no desire for his partner to shift to another suit. So he encouraged with his heart eight.

West cashed the heart king and played a third heart to East’s queen. Now East shifted to the diamond queen.

However, declarer won with his ace, drew trumps and claimed.

The diamond suit was a dead-end street. East should have counted up the high-card points. He had seven, dummy held 13 and West had already produced seven in hearts. That left only 13 unaccounted for. Surely South had them all. And if he did, the defenders were not winning a trick in the minors. Their only chance was to gain a trump trick. When the defenders have taken every possible side-suit trick, it cannot cost -- and might gain -- to concede a ruff-and-sluff.

If East had led his last heart, West could have ruffed with his spade eight.

Then, after dummy overruffed with the queen, East would have been assured of a trump trick. **

of course. But these days, the taboo against sugar has been replaced by an emphasis on overall carbohydrate control.

What does that mean?

First, limit carbs to about half of your total calories for the day. Equally important, primarily eat carbohydrates with a low glycemic load.

You asked about the many so-called sugar-free foods that contain sugar alcohols. Examples of sugar alcohols (also called polyols) include sorbitol, xylitol and mannitol.

These sweeteners are often found in sugar-free chewing gum, candy, cookies and ice cream.

Polyols do contain some calories and carbohydrates. But only half of the sugar alcohol is digested and absorbed into the bloodstream. On the other hand, nearly all the table sugar in the diet enters the blood. If you count carbohydrates, as many people with diabetes do, count half the calories from sugar alcohols as carbohydrates.

Products containing sugar alcohols do have drawbacks. If eaten in large quantities, for example, they can have a laxative effect.

In summary, reach for healthy sources of carbohydrates – vegetables and fruits – over candy and soft drinks. And choose whole grains such as brown rice, whole-wheat flour and rolled oats over refined carbs such as white rice, white flour, white pasta and instant oatmeal. You’ll be doing your blood sugar a favor while getting a lot more nutritional bang for your buck.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

E T O N I C

Dear Doctor K: I have Type 2 diabetes. Many low-carb and sugar-free products contain “sugar alcohols.”

What are they? Do they count as carbohydrates?

Dear Reader: Type 2 diabetes is marked by elevated levels of blood glucose, or sugar. Untreated or poorly controlled diabetes can lead to serious complications including heart attacks, kidney failure, amputation and blindness.

An important part of controlling blood sugar involves making healthy food choices. People with diabetes should be particularly mindful of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are like a chain with a number of links.

When a carbohydrate with many links enters your stomach and intestine, it is broken down into multiple small pieces. The smallest piece, the single link in the chain, is primarily what is absorbed into the blood.

The most important small sugar is glucose.

Table sugar is a twolink carbohydrate that is easily broken down into glucose. If you were to swallow 10 teaspoons of table sugar, it would quickly enter your bloodstream.

That’s not good. You want to eat carbohydrates that are broken down in the gut more slowly so that they enter the bloodstream more slowly.

We’ve talked about this concept before: Foods that contain carbohydrates that are rapidly broken down into glucose have a high glycemic index and high glycemic load. A steady diet of such foods is not healthy for people with diabetes -- or for anyone else.

Carbohydrates are the major component of bread, pasta, cereals, fruit, milk, vegetables and beans. They have more of an impact on blood sugar levels than fats and proteins do.

For years, doctors advised people with diabetes to avoid table sugar or foods with lots of sugar.

That’s still good advice,

Dear Abby: I have been divorced for more than a year and recently started dating a very nice man, “John.” My eldest daughter and her children live with me. I’d like to be able to invite John over to our house, but my daughter doesn’t want “strange men” around her kids, which I understand. I tried suggesting that she meet John before assuming that he is a strange man, but she’s hesitant about meeting him.

Abby, I’d like to be able to spend some nights at home with him instead of always going out. It hurts because I have allowed the father of her children to live with us, yet I can’t have someone I care about visit me at the home I work hard to pay for.

Please, Abby. I need advice on how to make my relationship with him and her work. – Stressed in the

Dear Stressed: I wish I had more information about your daughter and her attitude. Did she disapprove of your divorce from her father and harbor hopes that you will reconcile?

Could she be worried that if you and John become serious, she will have to find another place to live? That she’d refuse to even meet him seems peculiar.

It was generous of you to allow her children’s father to live under your roof. (Has he left yet?)

Notice that I said “under YOUR roof.” If you want to entertain a guest, as the person who pays the mortgage, that should be your privilege. If that makes her uncomfortable, perhaps it would be better if she took the children to their father’s or another relative’s place for the evening.

You are entitled to live your life without your daughter controlling you, but it appears that may be

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips exactly what she’s trying to do.

Dear Abby: I am a very good swing dancer. I’m 22 and have been doing it since my sophomore year of high school. When I dance I feel alive and free.

My boyfriend of two years, “Jonah,” whom I love dearly, isn’t good at it. But he says he wants to learn so we can dance together.

We’re going dancing this weekend and, truthfully, I don’t want to go with him. When I asked him if it would be OK if I danced with some other dancer friends as well as with him, he said he was insulted and hurt by the question, and it would make him too jealous.

I explained that I want to help him learn when we take lessons, but in the meantime, I want to dance freely.

I have ignored this issue for two years because I knew it would lead to a conflict. Should I suppress my love of dancing until Jonah is at my level or follow my heart and dance my socks off? – Ballroom Betsy Dear Ballroom Betsy: How is Jonah doing with those dancing lessons? Has he even started? What if it turns out he has two left feet?

That he can’t stand the idea of you dancing some of the dances with anyone else is a sign of insecurity.

Are you willing to give up swing dancing to please him? If the answer is no, it may be time to change partners.

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – It is up to you to decide how to spend your time this year. Pleasing others is a good thing, but neglecting your own needs will cause resentment and frustration. Choose a path that will help you balance responsibilities and aspirations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will be impatient, but that doesn’t mean you should gossip or make someone look bad. Bide your time and wait for the outcome to unfold naturally.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Making solid investments before the end of the year will help increase your finances. Do your best to show someone how much you care. The results will be fulfilling.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Positive results

are imminent if you keep your promises. Think before you speak, or you may inadvertently cause embarrassment to someone who looks up to you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Despite your hard work, your plans and projects will fall short.

Someone will try to take advantage of your good nature and desire to please. Look out for No. 1.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – It will be difficult to get your ideas off the ground by yourself. Talk to people who understand your plans and can give you suggestions and help along the way.

Utilize your skills.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – If you are seeking inspiration, study different cultures, countries

or subjects that interest you. There are many ways to expand your knowledge and stimulate your mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Someone will try to discredit you. Make sure you accurately present yourself and what you have to offer. Take credit for your contributions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Romance will brighten your day. Plan to do something special with a loved one. Personal adjustments made now will enable you to take on a number of new challenges in the coming year.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – There are tremendous personal changes happening. Whatever has been holding you back will be rectified, allowing you to move forward. It’s time to try something

new and exciting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – No matter what you do, you will not be able to please everyone. In the end, you need to do what you feel is right.

Don’t feel obliged to answer for your choices.

Romance is on the rise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You can expand your social and professional connections if you participate in an organization that you believe in. This will bring you additional allies who will fit into your plans. Share your ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Someone you care about won’t appreciate the extra hours you put in at work, but the financial results will be well worth it. Make plans to compensate for your lack of down time.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Put the details in place before you branch out on a new venture. Your ideas are valuable, but if you try to rush into something, you may lose time trying to pick up the pieces afterward. Organization and preliminary trials will help you accomplish the most this year.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t take on too much; stick to what you do best. Stay on track by keeping up on the latest trends in your field. Your dedicated efforts will lead to success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be careful with whom you associate. Keep your financial and legal paperwork up to date so that you do not become overwhelmed at year’s end. Avoid dealing with authority figures.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Make the right choice by relying on the lessons you have learned from the past. You will capture everyone’s attention if you follow your heart and your instincts.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Curb your spending now, or you may have regrets next year. If you embellish the truth, it will cost you. Be honest about your feelings, and trust your judgment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Social media will have a positive impact on your plans.

Highlight your talents and reach out to people who can utilize and promote what you have to offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be

asking too much of someone if you depend on them to make you happy. Get out with old friends, who will help you see your personal situation with greater clarity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are in for a nasty surprise if you take others for granted.

Make sure that there is give-and-take in both your personal and professional relationships.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t get anxious about what’s happening around you. Adaptability is the key to making change work for you. Trust your instincts and take full advantage of the new circumstances.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Past mistakes or heartaches will leave you depressed. Live in the present and make your future bright. Focus on

things and people you enjoy, and you won’t have time to look back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone you live with will be demanding. If your patience is wearing thin, find an outlet that will keep you busy. Take care of your personal paperwork.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An interesting proposal is coming your way. Don’t sit idly by, waiting for your situation to change. Get out and help others, and you’ll take your mind off of your worries.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Minor accidents are likely if you are distracted or reckless.

Don’t hesitate to brag. Unless people realize your capabilities and what you have to offer, nothing will develop.

“Um Um Good!”
