I never thought I would have the strength or willpower to volunteer at an animal shelter. The thought of dozens of homeless cats and dogs staring back at you from a steel cage is heartbreaking. But I knew there was a shortage of volunteers at the Will County Humane Society in Shorewood, and I called to donate my time.

I admit, my perceived stereotype of animal shelters was unfair for this place. The amount of love and attention the staff and volunteers give to these animals is without compare.

I started my morning in the dog room, where about 15 larger dogs were housed in very neat, individual kennels. It was cold and damp outside, but I could see these dogs needed a break from those four walls. So I took them on walks around the 3-acre property.

VIEWS Hannah Kohut You just haven’t seen happiness until you have seen the face of a shelter dog reacting to a leash. I think they were walking me more than I was walking them, but I let my new four-legged friends lead the way.

After a couple of laps around the property, it was time to take the next dog for a walk. But instead of returning the dog to its kennel, the staff put the dogs in their own fenced run yards, giving them loads of space to let out some energy.

After giving out a last round of head rubs and getting a few wet puppy kisses, I went to help out with the cats.

I walked into a room with

60 cats of all ages (yes, 60), and three hard-working volunteers. Six days a week, every cat cage is scrubbed, their dishes washed and cat pans cleaned and filled. I’m embarrassed to say that my own two cats at home don’t receive this kind of service!

Trying to stay out of their way, I pet and played with the cats. I asked about a couple of sweet black ones who just melted to the floor when I began petting them.

Then, the inevitable heartbreak set it. One of them had lived at the shelter for more then 10 years. And she was not the only one.

Several have spent years and years calling the cat room “home.” But since the Will County Human Society is a no-kill shelter, they are committed to caring for the cats for as long as it takes, sometimes for life.

The shelter’s mission

Silver Cross donates to Warren -Sharpe Community Center

would be impossible if not for volunteers. They depend on donated food and supplies to keep the animals cared for and fed. They depend on volunteers who can walk the dogs and help keep the facilities clean for the animals.

They depend on volunteers to keep the animals socialized and to provide playtime.

They can’t keep the doors open without volunteers.

And you never know an animal’s past. A rub on the head or a walk around the yard can really lift their spirits, and yours.

But increasing costs a concern for Will County

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – If you’re dealing with post-Christmas clutter, don’t bother throwing your old TV set out to the curb.

Like your in-laws, it may never leave.

So, recycle it.

People often don’t realize they can’t simply throw out their old TV until they place it on the curb and it ends up sitting there indefinitely, said Karrie Gibson, longtime president of Vintage Tech Recycling, the electronics recycling vendor for Will County.

It’s not until Waste Management slaps a sticker on it, explaining that the owner needs to call Vintage Tech to arrange a pickup or drop-off, that they realize it’s against the law to throw electronics out and for landfills to accept them.

“That’s usually how people found out there’s a landfill ban,” Gibson said. “They’re asking themselves, ‘Why didn’t they take my TV?’ And then they see the sticker.”

How to recycle

As demand grows, Will County’s electronics recycling program continues to expand – from offering just a handful of permanent drop-off sites to now 13 located throughout the county.

For those unable to drop off electronics at one of the county’s permanent sites, there also is the option of paying $25 to have up to 10 items picked up from your front door, said Dean Olson, who heads up Will County’s Resource Recovery and Energy Division. “[Vintage Tech] is designed to handle just about anything with a cord,” Olson said.

Not only are consumers required by a 2012 state law to recycle computers, laptops, TVs and video games, so are manufacturers, he said.

With so many electronics in circulation, and the cost to re-

cycle them on the rise, there’s a new push at the state level to make sure manufacturers continue on as major funders of countywide electronics recycling programs. Olson and

other county officials are helping lead the way.

Manufacturers help pay for these programs by contracting with electronics recycling vendors, such as Vintage Tech

Q To schedule a pickup from your front door, contact Vintage Tech Recyclers.

This may be done by telephone or through email. Call 866-631-1707 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or email willcounty@vintagetechrecyclers.com.

Drop-off instructions and locations: Q Bring only residentially generated electronic items. No business electronics can be taken. Businesses are encouraged to call Will County or go to their website for recycling/reuse information.

Q Clean off any personal information on hard drives (reformatting the hard drive or rewriting the disc is recommended).

Q Take materials to the drop-off ONLY during operational hours.

Q Please place materials carefully in boxes as indicated by signs at the site.

Q Do not take any items that have already been dropped off. Once items are placed in the box they are part of the recycling program.

Christmas at animal control Volunteers spend holiday with homeless pets

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Opening presents in the warmth of their homes and presence of family isn’t what several volunteers spent their Christmas morning doing. Instead, they volunteered at the Joliet Township Animal Control.

They gave dogs and cats holiday treats, cleaned out cages and spent time with the homeless pets Thursday morning at the animal shelter at 2807 McDonough St. in Joliet.

“I love dogs, but I don’t have the time to have a dog because of my job,” said Shorewood resident Chuck Holton, who volunteered with his wife at the shelter. “This is the one day I have off so I wanted to spend some time here.”

Joliet Township Animal Control is tasked to protect the community from stray animals and provides a shelter for owner surrenders. The organization also tries to educate the community about stray, abandoned and surrendered animals.

Christmas treats

The shelter uses as much help as it can get. Director Sarah Gimbel said the work from volunteers is appreciated.

“This gives the animals some extra love and it’s a good way to give back to the

community,” Gimbel said. “A lot of [the pets] are here for a short amount of time. So staff and volunteers make them feel comfortable.”

Veterinary technician Danielle Rodriguez, who managed the shelter Thursday, said the animals received some special treatment for the holidays.

“We give them extra toys, treats and blankets,” Rodriguez said. “We let the cats out into the playrooms. Especially for them, they get to stretch out and socialize.”

The volunteers didn’t mind spending their Christmas morning with the animals.

“Someone has to take care of them,” said volunteer Juliana Guzman, who was cleaning dog cages while another volunteer took the dogs out for walks. “We’re just doing the usual cleaning and feeding.”

warding to volunteer at the shelter because of the perspective it brings.

“If people came here to see the dogs, they’re the sweetest dogs ever,” she said. “There’s the perception it’s a puppy mill. But if more people spent time [here] they would see it’s not true.”

In addition to individual volunteers, Joliet Township Animal Control also has partnered with the Joliet Job Corps for help at the shelter.

Adoption boom

Gimbel said the shelter in December is approaching a record for number of adoptions in a month.

“I know we have about 90 adoptions in December so far,” she said, adding that the average adoptions a month hovers between 60 and 70.

“Our record is 93 so we could break it soon.”

A regular volunteer who people at the shelter simply call “Bunga” noticed quite a few cats were adopted during the holiday season.

“It’s bittersweet when that happens,” Bunga said, explaining how volunteers often get attached to the animals. “You go home and cry but you’re happy at the same time. They usually get adopted pretty fast here.”

HOMER GLEN

Flood of write-in candidates forces primary

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – Write-in candidates have forced a primary in Homer Glen before the spring elections.

The write-in campaign includes 23 candidates who mounted the effort after two candidates were thrown off the April 7 ballot over a question of proper paperwork.

Now, those two candidates and others can get on the ballot if they win the Feb. 24 primary.

Trustee George Yukich sought to challenge Homer Glen Mayor James Daley in April and pulled the petitions to file as a mayoral candidate.

When those petitions are filed with the village, they require a receipt that a “statement of economic interest” has been filed with the county clerk.

Village Clerk Gale Skrobuton said Yukich and Beth Rogers, a village board candidate, filed the statement itself with the village.

“The job of the village

clerk is just to accept the petitions, not to analyze them,” Skrobuton said. “People can request copies of candidates’ petitions, so one resident did so and filed an objection.”

Skrobuton said the village electoral board met and removed Yukich and Rogers from the ballot because their paperwork was improper.

Yukich said the lack of receipt was an innocent mistake that occurred when he went to the county clerk’s office on Oct. 17 to have his statement of economic interest stamped.

“As we were going through the paperwork, an employee there said it should be attached to the filing [for the village]. She was from the tax section, but was helping out in elections that afternoon,” Yukich said. “What she said made sense, so I don’t blame her.”

After Yukich and Rogers were removed from the ballot, they learned a primary is required if more than four times the number of candidates on the ballot petition to

Bridal Expo

run as write-ins. After speaking with supporters who learned from Facebook of the ballot removal, enough writeins filed to require the primary election.

The top two candidates for mayor and village clerk and top six for village trustee from the primary will then appear printed on the ballots of the April 7 election, Skrobuton said.

Daley remains the only candidate printed on the primary ballot, but Yukich, Broque Backal, Mike Costa, Peter Kula and Jeffery Rogers have filed as write-ins.

District 113A to install 21 security cameras at Old Quarry Middle School

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com

Lipinski: New law will support manufacturing

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com Illinois manufacturers may get a boost from U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski’s bill requiring a national strategic manufacturing plan.

“Illinois is still one of the top manufacturing states in the country,” Lipinski, D-Western Springs, said Tuesday. “We’ve seen manufacturing get hit over the decades and the recession. I think that this could really help make a difference in manufacturing in the state.”

Lipinski’s congressional district includes Lockport, a small part of Joliet and other sections of Will County.

The American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act was signed into law last week, Lipinski said. U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, co-sponsored the bill, and Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Illinois, carried the measure in the Senate.

“I’m proud to see this important piece of legislation signed into law,” Kinzinger said in a news release from his office issued after the legislation was signed. “The United States simply cannot afford to continue to lose manufacturing jobs to other countries.

The American Manufactur-

ing Competitiveness Act will help us use the resources we already have to put us back on top and create new middle-class jobs.”

The act requires a National Strategic Plan for Manufacturing. The president sets a plan at least every four years by working with “manufacturing experts from the private and public sectors to assess the state of American manufacturing and make recommendations for policies that will help grow American manufacturing,” a news release states.

“The people of Illinois reflect the highest work ethic of the Midwest,” Kirk said in a news release. “It’s those men and women who keep me optimistic about the future of Illinois and the future of manufacturing as a pillar of the Illinois economy.”

Lipinski likened the manufacturing plan to the Quadrennial Defense Review, which sets long-term goals for the Department of Defense and the country’s safety.

“With the financial crisis, I saw change in Washington,” Lipinski said about views on manufacturing. “When we went into recession, I think there was more understanding of how important manufacturing is to the U.S.”

plementation.”

She said Old Quarry was chosen for the cameras because it has the most activity and movement in the hallways, as well as the most after-school and evening activities.

Property tax levy adopted

The district is requesting a levy of $19.75 million, a 7.03 percent increase from the previous year.

At the start of the December meeting, the board addressed the public hearing for the tax levy not being listed on the meeting agenda posted days earlier.

Reading a written statement, board president Cindy Kelly said it was always the board’s intention to hold the public hearing, but it was accidentally left off the agenda.

Saying the district had consulted with its attorneys, she said there is no legal requirement for the hearing to be listed on the agenda – only the final approval of the tax levy.

The board voted to add the public hearing to the agenda.

The Truth in Taxation Act requires any tax body proposing a tax levy increase greater than 5 percent to publish a notice in a newspaper of the proposed levy and the date of a public hearing.

School use rates changed

Additionally, the board changed district rates for after-school use of its buildings.

Groups using the buildings will be put into two categories: one for approved student organizations, community organizations supported by local taxes and nonprofit groups; and a second category for all other groups.

Groups in the first category will not be charged for building usage on weekdays and will be charged $35 an hour on weekends for most rooms, with the exception of $70 an hour for the large gym.

The second group will receive the $35 and $70 an hour rates for all days.

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski and U.S. Senator Mark Kirk discussed a bill to boost American manufacturing at an event Monday in Lyons.

LEMONT – The District 113A School Board this month approved the purchase of 21 surveillance cameras for Old Quarry Middle School.

The cameras cost $21,408 and will be installed as soon as the contractor, Platinum CCTV Surveillance Solutions, has schedule availability.

According to the meeting agenda when the cameras were approved, the Lemont Police Department advised the school to install enough cameras to cover the whole school.

Installation areas will include hallways, entrances, gymnasiums and cafeterias.

“We believe that the cameras will enhance our current safety and security procedures,” Superintendent Courtney Orzel said in an email to a Shaw Media reporter. “We will be providing parents with additional correspondence regarding the timeline for im-

Vintage Tech Recycling sold

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Karrie Gibson, CEO and president of the Romeoville-based Vintage Tech Recycling, sold her company last week after nearly 10 years in the electronics recycling business.

Gibson, 42, of Plainfield, said she sold Vintage Tech Recycling to Finland-based

Kuusakoski – an international recycling company with a U.S. headquarters in Plainfield.

Kuusakoski has been a partner with Vintage Tech for three years, having owned 40 percent of the Illinois-based company since 2011, Gibson said. Kuusakoski bought the remaining 60 percent of shares. Gibson declined to disclose financial terms of the deal.

Gibson founded Vintage Tech Recycling, which now has six processing plants in five states including an operation in Plainfield, in 2005.

She started the company from her basement. Previously, she worked for a local electronics recycling business by making calls to potential customers.

Kuusakoski opened a cathode ray tube glass crushing plant last year in Peoria.

Proposed changes have been met with opposition from manufacturing industry • RECYCLING

Continued from page 3 those companies to recycle items.

Absorbing the costs

Manufacturers met those state-mandated goals earlier this year, meaning payments stopped and Vintage Tech ended up having to absorb those costs, Gibson said.

It won’t be that way next year, she said.

“Next year, with our calculators, we’re going to go to Will County and say, ‘We’re going to budget you this many pounds, and every pound after that pound, you will have to cover,’ ” said Gibson, noting she’s still in contract negotiations with the county for next year. “We can’t take the hit. That would put us out of business.”

So far this year, Vintage Tech had 7 million pounds in overflow, she said.

“If the [manufacturers’] goals were higher, we’d be al-

lowed to keep billing,” Gibson said.

County officials, including Olson, hope to increase the state-mandated goals amid fears that local governments will eventually be burdened with recycling costs. Proposed changes have been met with opposition from representatives from the manufacturing indus-

try. They’ve steadfastly argued against advancing the legislation without careful vetting.

Gibson said she understands both sides of the debate.

Dean said the countywide program has become such a success, it would be a shame to see it go to the wayside.

“People rely on this program,” he said.

THE RED TAG EVENT ROLLS ON! HUGE HOLIDAY DEALS GOING ON NOW! DON’T MISS OUT!

Household holiday safety tips still apply THE HERALD–NEWS PLAINFIELD – With Christmas Day over but trees and decorations still up, fire safety tips still apply – perhaps more so now that live trees have been in the house for days or weeks.

The Plainfield Fire Protection District has issued fire safety tips for the holidays as part of its “Keep the Wreath Red” campaign. The effort is one of many among fire departments across the country that use the “Keep the Wreath Red” message to encourage people to take precautions with holiday decorations.

No. 1 on the list issued by the Plainfield Fire Protection District is to keep live Christmas trees watered.

The department advises to

check the water level in tree stands daily, and not to let the tree get dry. If the tree is dry, it should be removed from the home.

Trees also should be at least 3 feet away from sources of heat, which dry out pine needles. And they should not block any exits from the home.

Other tips are:

• Unplug electrical decorations before leaving home or going to sleep; • Don’t overload electrical outlets or extension cords, and make sure outside electrical decorations are rated for outdoor use; • Keep candles at least a foot away from anything that will burn. Extinguish candles before going to sleep and never leave them unattended.

In loving memory of our Mother who passes away 13 years ago today.

The Broken Chain.

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide and through we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Love always, Daughters & Family

He attended Lewis University and was

so proud when two of his many grandchildren elected to carry on that tradition. He loved sports, but golf was his passion and he played often and well.

He then moved to Rockwell International Telecommunications, where he led the successful placement of their massive Automatic Call Distribution Systems into service in many U.S. Government facilities across the United States.

Spokesman: George H.W. Bush remains in hospital The ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON – Former President George H.W. Bush was scheduled to remain hospitalized through Christmas Day after experiencing shortness of breath two days ago.

Family spokesman Jim McGrath said Thursday the 90-year-old Bush remained at Houston Methodist Hospital. McGrath said Bush “had another terrific day and is in great spirits.”

He said Bush was visited by his wife, Barbara Bush, as well as son Neil Bush.

Bush was hospitalized Tuesday night in what was reported as a precaution.

Bush is the oldest living former American president. He suffers from a form of Parkinson’s disease that has forced him to rely on a motorized scooter or wheelchair. But he’s also skydived on at least three of his birthdays since leaving the White House, including a tandem jump for his 90th birthday in June.

OPINION

GUEST VIEW: KIRK DILLARD

RTA aims to enhance transit service in 2015 Dear regional transit passengers, On behalf of the Regional Transportation Authority Board of Directors, I would like to take a moment to celebrate the RTA’s accomplishments of 2014 and highlight how they may enhance transit service in 2015 and beyond.

The RTA will be kicking off the new year with strong leadership already in place. Leanne Redden is the RTA executive director and doing a tremendous job; and the board remains strong with the latest addition, comprised of knowledgeable veterans and newer members who will continue to work together to provide the leadership and perspective to benefit the 2 million riders of ours region’s transit system each workday.

Transparency: Transparency is paramount in the RTA – and beginning this month, we provide real-time audio streaming of our board and committee meetings. The new feature allows the public to listen to meetings and view agendas from a smartphone, tablet or computer.

Bond rating: In one of the few “good news” credit stories coming out of northeastern Illinois, in January all three of the nation’s major bond rating services – Fitch, Moody and S&P – rated the RTA double-A with stable outlooks. The ratings demonstrated RTA’s commitment to a balanced budget and its strength in providing necessary fiscal leadership for transit in the region.

2015 budget: Culminating one of the most collaborative budget processes in recent memory, the region will start the new year off with a $2.9 billion transit budget that includes operations expenses in the following amounts: CTA, $1.44 billion; Metra, $753.1 million; Pace, $223.2 million, ADA Paratransit, $172.2 million; and the RTA, $42.2 million. Additionally, we will kick off a regional $3.8 billion, five-year capital program (2015-19) including an estimated $1.3 billion in capital expenditures for 2015.

Capital plan: By the end of 2014, the RTA will have programmed more than $2 billion in capital funding for the service boards. Included in this amount is $100 million in state of good repair bonds that the RTA issued and allocated in the

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

amount of $55 million to CTA, $45 million to Metra and $5 million to Pace.

Sales tax: We will continue work to stop companies from illegally diverting millions of dollars in sales tax revenues to local governments and transit agencies from the six-county RTA region. The Illinois Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in the case of Hartney Fuel Oil Company v.

Hamer has yielded positive results, and we believe the number of agreements that create illegal tax diversions is on the decline.

Regional transit planning: In preparation for next year, the RTA awarded 16 Community Planning projects as part of the 2015 Community Planning program. More than $800,000 in federal, local and RTA funds were allocated to support innovative transit projects. The recipients include the Village of Bartlett, which will create a transit-oriented development plan for its downtown Metra station area; and the Village of Worth, which will create a transit-oriented development plan for its Metra station area. Since the program’s inception, more than 150 planning projects totaling $20 million have been funded through the RTA using a combination of local, federal and RTA funds.

Marketing: In an ongoing effort to increase ridership throughout the six-county region, in the beginning of 2015, the RTA – in collaboration with the Service Boards – is implementing a three-year regional consumer marketing campaign focusing on increasing ridership and enhancing the public perception of transit, targeting reverse commuters, visitors and older adults.

There are many, many more highlights from 2014 that will continue to enhance the regional transit service as a whole. Download a copy (on the RTA website) of Today’s RTA: Moving Transit Forward to learn about programs and projects at the RTA. On behalf of the RTA Board of Directors, and the hard-working staff at the RTA, we assure you we will work harder than ever to make transit in our region the best it can be in 2015 and beyond.

• Kirk Dillard is chairman of the RTA.

OUR VIEW

Winter’s here; be prepared Winter officially began Sunday.

And we got a taste Wednesday of what the season might bring.

Winter! Remember the last one?

It was Illinois’ worst winter in nearly 40 years, according to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.

Cold? Statewide, temperatures were the fourth coldest on record.

Snow? Almost all of Illinois had more than twice the normal winter snowfall.

Storms? Well, the state normally averages six major winter storms a season. Last year, we had 11.

Ice? Illinoisans slipped and slid their way through December, January, February and much of March.

Just because we’ve had it relatively easy in the weather department so far doesn’t mean the winter of 2014-15 won’t be rough.

The IEMA again has come out with its Winter Weather Preparedness Guide, which is filled with helpful facts and suggestions.

Among them: • Have a family emergency supply kit assembled at home, with battery-powered weather and commercial radios, foods that don’t require cooking or refriger-

ation, extra medications, special items for babies, the disabled or elderly, extra water, flashlights and extra batteries, first-aid kit, nonprescription drugs, personal sanitary items and pet supplies.

• Have a winter storm survival kit in your vehicle. Along with a cellphone and charger, this should have blankets; sleeping bags; flashlight; batteries; first-aid kit; knife; high-calorie, nonperishable food; water; extra clothing to keep dry; large can and plastic cover with tissues and paper towels for sanitary purposes; small can and matches to melt snow to drink; sack of sand; shovel; windshield scraper and brush; tool kit; tow rope; booster cables; compass; and road maps.

More advice is offered on avoiding frozen pipes at home; preparing vehicles for winter; how to survive winter storms at home, on the road and when outside; what to wear; and caring for animals.

Winter weather can be deadly.

The IEMA reminds us that 163 people have died from exposure in Illinois since 1997.

Get ready for the cold, ice, snow, wind, slippery roads, potholes and slick sidewalks of winter.

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

GIRLS BASKETBALL HOLIDAY TOURNAMENTS PREVIEW

Girls teams seek success in holiday tourneys

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com Lincoln-Way West’s girls basketball team captured the championship of the Ottawa Holiday Tournament earlier this week.

A few other girls team from the area are hoping to join the Warriors as tournament title winners in competitions that kick off Friday.

But there are still a couple tournaments already underway that will conclude this weekend, one of which is Lincoln-Way East’s Medieval Classic.

Providence will advance to Saturday’s 6 p.m. finals if it defeats the host Griffins. An East win and a Lincoln-Way Central victory over Bremen would create a three-way tie for first.

In the other pool, it’s a two-team battle between Minooka and Lincoln-Way North for the trip to the fi-

nals. Those two squads will meet Friday.

Peotone started 3-0 in the TF South Holiday Classic and plays Eisenhower on Friday and Joliet West on Saturday as it attempts to win all five of its games in the round-robin meet.

Joliet Catholic hopes that can make a run at the title in the Hillcrest Holiday Classic. All teams play two games Friday, and the Angels would see either Lockport or the hosts during the quarterfinals. Semifinals are set for Saturday, with the championship Monday.

Bolingbrook and Plainfield East will be participating in the Montini Christmas Tournament. If the two claim wins in Friday’s openers, they will meet each other in Saturday’s quarterfinals.

Two area squads also will take part in the Lisle Holiday Cage Classic – Coal City and Reed-Custer.

Plainfield H.S. hall of famer LWC, Lockport look good at the Dvorak Nate Fox killed in shooting

PREP WRESTLING

Nate Fox, a 1995 Plainfield High School graduate who had a successful college and pro career in basketball, died following a shooting Monday. He was 37.

Bloomingdale police responded to a call in the 200 block of Tamarack Lane and found Fox had been shot. He was taken to Adventist Glen Oaks Medical Center in Glendale Heights, where he died.

Bloomingdale police and the DuPage County Major Crimes Task Force still were investigating the shooting.

Bolingbrook H.S. graduate Chad Cooke dies at age 20 SUBMITTED REPORT CHARLESTON, S.C. – The College of Charleston Athletics Department is grieving the loss of former men’s basketball student-athlete Chad Cooke, who died Christmas Eve. Originally from Bolingbrook, Cooke, 20, was a walk-on guard and played two seasons for the Cougars in 2012-13 and 2013-14. He was in his junior year at the college, majoring in business administration.

“Chad was a great young man from a terrific family,” C of C Director of Athletics Joe Hull said. “He died while playing basketball at home with friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chad, his family, his many friends and

our team.”

Off the court, Cooke was actively involved in the Lowcountry community, giving back to others through Seacoast Church and its campus ministry as well as Charleston Hope, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created by his girlfriend, Emily Hoisington.

Through this Adopt A Classroom program, Cooke annually helped organize, wrap and distribute Christmas gifts to local underprivileged school children.

He also made a mission trip with fellow teammates and staff members to Haiti in the summer of 2013 to aid in the relief efforts for those still recovering from the 2010 earthquake, particularly the deaf

community in Leveque, Haiti.

“Chad Cooke was many things: a best friend, a teammate, a student – but most importantly Chad Cooke was a man of God,” C of C sophomore guard Canyon Barry said.

“Chad actively pursued Christ, and I am blessed to say that I was by his side for part of the journey. No words can describe the pain I feel; but like Chad, I trust God’s plan, and it does my heart well to picture him singing and dancing to Taylor Swift, and putting a smile on everyone in Heaven’s face – just like he did here on Earth.”

Cooke, who graduated from Bolingbrook in 2012, is survived by his parents, Jim and Lori, and his four siblings, Jay, David, Catherine and Savanna.

After earning back-toback trips to the wrestling quarterfinals, Lincoln-Way Central hopes it has what it takes to get back there again this season. And so far, coach Jason DePolo’s Knights seem to be doing what’s needed to return to Bloomington.

Central earned a trophy with a sixth-place showing at this week’s 29-team Harlem Dvorak Invite. It had five placewinners, including champ Bryan Ditchman (285 pounds) and runner-up Sean Kelly (220).

It was the third strong tournament so far for Central, which also took first at Hoffman Estates’ 12-team Marchese Invite and was second at Barrington’s 25-team Moore-Prettyman Invite.

Ditchman, the lone medal winner who returns at heavyweight, captured his third title of the season. Vinnie Piunti (120), Brandon Dominski (170), Jake Dudeck (182) and Kelly also earned medals for placing for the third time this year.

While Lockport only placed ninth at the Dvorak, that finish was misleading because it still is without one of its top competitors.

Tyler Johnson, who fell in the 195 state finals for his only defeat of last season, still is rehabbing an offseason injury and is expected back by the start of the state series.

Despite not competing yet, Johnson is top-ranked at 195.

Like Central, coach Josh Oster’s Porters also had five placewinners at the Dvorak,

including runners-up Shayne Oster (138) and Trevell Timmons (152). The Porters also got medals from Abdullah Assaf (113), Cameron Roat (132) and Chris Murino (195).

The Porters will compete at the Cheesehead Invite at Kaukauna, Wisconsin, on Jan. 2-3 before hosting the Knights on Jan. 8. Then they’ll compete at the SouthWest Suburban Conference meet Jan. 23-24.

Unlike in the past few years, when Lockport and Central were in the same regional, the squads go in different directions this year, and thus both could earn trips downstate in Class 3A. Central hosts a regional, while Lockport will compete at Bolingbrook. The Porters made their only state trip in 2012 and saw their hopes of a return trip dashed the last two years by the Knights.

Most other programs in the area figure to find out more about themselves when they take part in tournaments through the rest of the 2014 part of the schedule.

On Saturday, Joliet Central is at Bradley-Bourbonnais, while Romeoville is at Wheaton Warrenville South.

Twelve area teams will take part in four meets Monday and Tuesday.

Joliet West, Lincoln-Way East, Lincoln-Way West, Lemont and Plainfield East will be at Palatine. Plainfield North and Plainfield South head to Granite City.

In dual-meet tournaments, Coal City, Reed-Custer, Seneca and Wilmington will be at St. Thomas More; Plainfield Central is at DeKalb.

During his two years at Maine, Fox averaged nearly 18 points a game while helping the school to a 43-16 record. He was a two-time All-America East selection.

After college, he played professionally throughout European from 2000 to 2012.

He is survived by his parents, Roy and Marilyn, and by brothers Matthew and Nicholas, as well as numerous other family members.

Visitation will take place from 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday at Carlson-Holmquist-Sayles Funeral Home, 2320 Black Road, Joliet, with funeral services at 11 a.m.

Monday. Interment will be at Woodlawn Memorial Park.

by his high school by being inducted into its athletics hall of fame. Beside being one of the school’s scoring leaders in basketball, he also played football and was a quarterback during his senior season.

He was a much different athlete from when he first put on a Wildcats uniform until he graduated, because of a growth spurt that got him to 6-foot-8 for his senior season.

Following his days at PHS, Fox accepted a college scholarship at Boston College.

Midway through his college career, he transferred to the University of Maine, where he earned a degree in communications.

Pau Gasol leads Bulls past former Lakers teammates

By ANDREW SELIGMAN

EASTERN CONFERENCE Bulls Cleveland Milwaukee Indiana Detroit Toronto Brooklyn Boston New York Philadelphia

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Pau Gasol had 23 points and 13 rebounds against his former team, and the Bulls beat Los Angeles, 113-93, on Thursday night with Lakers star Kobe Bryant resting his sore body.

Jimmy Butler added 21 points, and Derrick Rose had 20 points and six assists to help the Bulls win their season-high fifth straight.

With Bryant missing his second straight game, the Lakers were unable to pull off another upset. They stunned Golden State on Tuesday night but came up short against the Central division leaders.

The Bulls hung on after a 16-point second-quarter lead dwindled to two in the third. They pulled away in the fourth, sending the Lakers to their fourth loss in five games.

Gasol, a two-time champion in six-plus seasons with the Lakers, was 9 of 14 from the field in his first game against Los Angeles since joining the Bulls in the summer.

Butler added six rebounds, and Nikola Mirotic and Aaron Brooks each scored 13 points.

It didn’t hurt that Bryant was watching from the sideline in a dark red jacket even if the Lakers were coming off a big victory without him.

Carlos Boozer scored 14 points and got booed in his return to Chicago, as he often did during his four seasons with the Bulls. The Bulls used the amnesty clause to cut him last summer and create the salary-cap space to bring in Gasol and add depth to the roster.

Wesley Johnson led Los Angeles with 19 points. Ed Davis added 13 points and 14 rebounds. Jordan Hill finished with 16 points, but the Lakers shot about 39 percent overall and went 5 of 16 from 3-point range.

They likely will have to go

The Lakers’ Jeremy Lin goes up to shoot against the Bulls’ Pau Gasol during the first half Thursday at the United Center. without Bryant again when they visit Dallas on Friday night.

Bryant said his knees, Achilles tendons, feet and back were all bothering him, and it is unlikely he will play against the Mavericks.

The 36-year-old Bryant, in his 19th NBA season, entered Thursday third in the league in scoring at 24.6 points per game. He passed Michael Jordan for third place on the career scoring list Dec. 14 at Minnesota.

The Bulls looked as if they were on their way to an easy victory up 16 in the second

quarter, but an 11-point halftime lead quickly shrunk to two.

Los Angeles started the third quarter on an 11-2 run and cut it to 60-58 on Johnson’s fast-break layup. The Bulls were leading, 81-77, in the closing seconds when Gasol drove for a layup to start a 10-2 run that bumped it back up to 12 early in the fourth.

Undaunted Visually/hearing impaired Shorewood woman creates visual and musical art

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Barb Carson of Shorewood, 86, can’t see and scarcely can hear. But she had no trouble walking around her apartment Monday at the Timbers of Shorewood, showing off samples of her paintings, which spanned decades.

There was an oil of one of Carson’s dogs and an oil of her husband, David (deceased); watercolor landscapes, alleys and rustic country buildings; and outdoor scenes from the art classes Carson takes at The Timbers twice a month.

The details of the branches, the scattered acorns and even the tortoise hiding in the grass all speak of Carson’s obvious talent, even though retinitis pigmentosa – a degenerative eye disease – stole her eyesight when Carson was in her 30s.

Ever the optimist, Carson believes this later work has its own genre.

“It’s freestyle, you might call it,” Carson said with a smile.

Carson also brought out a handmade book she created in the 1970s, a poem expressed through watercolor, marker and Braille. Carson started making art in the 1930s during the Depression, when she was a little girl living in a Decatur home that housed three generations of Carson’s family.

“My grandmother encouraged me,” Carson said of making art.

Born hard of hearing, Carson said she attended “deaf school” for five years, starting when she was 8. As an adult,

Shaarday. Carson sang a few lines, which listed the days of the week.

“Every day is a Shaar-day,” Carson sang as she tapped out the song’s beat.

Since Carson is fluent with Braille, she keeps up with friends via email on her smartphone, takes computer classes and actively participates in a book club with Klein. But The Timbers renewed Carson’s interest in making visual art.

When Carson first moved to The Timbers from Crest Hill four years ago, the senior living community hosted an art show featuring 150 pieces of Carson’s art, said Carson’s niece, Dawn Martin of Joliet.

“They were amazed at her talent,” Martin said.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Can you control the trump suit?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Professor Shlomo Bernartzi, a leading authority on behavioral finance, said, “Self-control is not a problem in the future. It’s only a problem now when the chocolates are next to us.”

Bridge players need to exercise self-control, especially when there is a trump suit. The urge to remove those held by the opponents can be overwhelming, but might not be best.

In today’s deal, South is in four spades. What should he do after West leads the heart ace?

East’s two-diamond response was a transfer, showing at least five hearts and zero or more points. South’s twospade overcall was dangerous, but his heart length suggested that his partner would be short in that suit and have some spades. West rebid three hearts to indicate four-card support, and North jumped to game because he had a void and expected partner to hold a six-card suit.

After ruffing the lead in the dummy, if South plays three rounds of trumps, he draws them all, but then the defenders can cash three hearts and two clubs for down three. (True, they are unlikely to get it right and will allow declarer to escape for down two, but that is still expensive.)

South must keep the trump and heart suits under control. At trick two, he should run the spade seven. West takes the trick but has no defense. He does best to lead another high heart, in the hope that East has the diamond queen. Here, though, declarer will ruff in the dummy, play a diamond to his hand, draw trumps, and claim an overtrick.

Watch for this play of losing an inevitable trump trick as soon as possible.

• Excessive underarm perspiration. When even the strongest antiperspirants don’t work, Botox can lessen heavy sweating. It does so by blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands.

• Blepharospasm. Botulinum toxin may treat uncontrolled contractions of eyelid muscles that cause rapid blinking and may even clamp the eyes shut.

• Spasmodic dysphonia.

This unusual disorder affects about 50,000 people in the U.S. Its cause is unknown. They have trouble speaking smoothly.

The words come out in a hesitant and sometimes explosive fashion. Wellknown radio commentator Diane Rehm has made public the fact that she suffers from this condition – and has continued her remarkable career with proper treatment.

Once a drug is approved by the FDA, doctors can prescribe it for almost any purpose. This is called “off-label” use. Botulinum toxin is used off label to treat conditions as varied as teeth grinding, tennis elbow and pelvic pain.

It is remarkable that a toxin first known because of the terrible illness it causes, botulism, actually can be an effective treatment for many conditions -- if used properly. That’s because of research directed at finding out what caused botulism. When the role of the toxin was understood, scientists also had an important insight: While too much of a bad thing can be awful, a little bit of a bad thing sometimes can be therapeutic.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

L E T E R R I P

Dear Doctor K: I thought Botox was just a wrinkle remedy. But a friend told me she uses it to treat overactive bladder. Then someone else said he had a Botox injection for tennis elbow. What exactly is Botox? What else does it treat?

Dear Reader: It’s true, Botox’s applications are more than skin-deep.

Botox is one brand of botulinum toxin A. This is a substance made by the bacteria responsible for botulism, a foodborne illness that causes paralysis and sometimes death.

When purified and diluted, however, botulinum toxin is a safe and useful drug.

Botulinum toxin is a muscle relaxant. In 1989 the FDA approved it for treating crossed eyes. Next came approval for smoothing facial lines, or wrinkles. Since then, Botox and newer brands of botulinum toxin have been used to treat a growing number of conditions.

Some conditions that injections of botulinum toxin are currently used for include: • Overactive bladder and urge incontinence. Botox reduces episodes of incontinence in people for whom incontinence drugs taken by mouth don’t work.

• Chronic migraine headache. Botox is approved for treating people with severe, frequent migraines. It doesn’t prevent migraines. But it may reduce their number and duration.

• Upper limb spasticity.

Elbows, wrists or fingers often contract uncontrollably as a result of cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain trauma or spinal cord injury. Botox may relax muscles enough to allow people to perform basic activities like washing and dressing.

• Cervical dystonia. Uncontrollable contractions in neck muscles can force the head into awkward and uncomfortable positions.

Botulinum toxin is approved for treating cervical dystonia. It relaxes the

Real Life Adventures

Dear Abby: I’m a grad student who enjoys perusing social networks for jokes and stuff. The other day I came across a post from someone who said he wanted to kill himself. Naturally, I kind of freaked out.

I contacted the person to ask him not to and thankfully he didn’t. Normally I don’t do the whole “Internet friend” thing, but we decided to keep chatting and since then we have become fast friends. I’m not sure how to help this person, though.

He is in the military and fears losing his job if he seeks help. I don’t want to pressure him into seeing a professional, since part of what’s causing his anxiety is being ordered around constantly, but I don’t want him to hurt himself. I know I can’t save this person; I can only walk alongside while he figures it all out, but I don’t want him to suffer. Please tell me what to do! – Long-distance Friend Dear Long-distance Friend: I’ll try. Are you SURE this person is who he purports to be? Suicidal people don’t usually broadcast it to strangers they meet on the Internet. When you say he’s afraid that if he seeks professional help he’ll lose his job, is he intending to make a career in the military? If the answer is yes, and he doesn’t like “being ordered around constantly,” he has chosen the wrong career.

You should tell this individual that it’s essential he talk to someone about his suicidal impulses who has the training to actually help him with his suffering (your word). If you encourage him to lean on you, it will only prolong his procrastination about standing on his own two feet. For BOTH your sakes, deliver your message clearly and back away. Because you have known each other for such a short time, it

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips shouldn’t be too traumatic.

Dear Abby: My husband and I will celebrate our 50th anniversary soon. One hundred and twenty-five invitations were sent and 80 people have responded that they will be attending. I have wondered about the 45 invitees who didn’t respond one way or the other.

Today I was told there’s a new rule of etiquette regarding the RSVP on an invitation – that one doesn’t have to respond unless one is attending the function.

Is this true? Am I out of step with the current social culture?

I am more than aware that it has changed – and would debate that it probably hasn’t changed for the better with regard to social courtesy. So, in planning any function that entails food, hotel rooms, etc., am I to assume no response is a negative one? – Questioning

in the Southeasts

Dear Questioning: You are not out of step. There is no “new rule,” unless the invitation specifies “regrets only.” RSVP still means what it always has: “Repondez s’il vous plait.”

That’s French for “Please respond.” It doesn’t mean to respond only if you plan on being there. Polite people take note of the phone number at the bottom of the invitation, or the little card included with it, and accept or decline.

While it’s safe to assume that the individuals you didn’t hear from won’t be coming, it’s also a clue that they may not have been taught good manners.

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Your ability to designate tasks will be an important facet of your success this year. There is only so much you can do on your own, so put your trust in people who share your visions and can facilitate your plans. If you try to handle everything yourself, you will miss your goal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You will receive gifts or money from a surprising source.

An unexpected visitor will brighten your day and take your mind off your troubles. Travel delays can be expected.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your generosity and charity will enable you to do a good turn for someone less fortunate than yourself. The reward you get in return will be surprising

and could influence your future.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will have to be careful about what you say to avoid a clash with someone who grates on your nerves. Keep your opinions to yourself and change the topic if a discussion becomes heated.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – It’s time to relax and let others take charge for a change. You have helped those around you to the best of your ability, and now you deserve some time to yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Take a moment to be introspective. Reflecting on the past year will allow you to see how far you have come and how much further you wish to go.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Get together with an old friend. The interaction will help remind you of past goals and encourage you to make the effort to achieve them next year.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You may be anticipating big vocational changes in the new year, but for now remain focused on love and family. Your career plans will unfold when the time is right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Make today a time of joy and sharing. Consider helping out at a charitable event. The connections you make could have a positive impact on your future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Avoid getting drawn into a confrontation. You don’t have to agree with what is said, but it will help if you

are diplomatic and strive to keep the peace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Make changes to your living arrangements. Get your point across without accusations or demands. An equitable solution will be found if you don’t let your temper get out of control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A change of scenery will motivate you to take a new direction next year. Ask for guidance from someone you respect. Do your research and forge ahead with your plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Overspending, overeating or drinking too much will lead to emotional blackmail and manipulation.

Moderation will be the key to having a good time, free of regrets.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Interesting opportunities are heading your way this year. Financial, professional and personal partnerships will take a dramatic turn for the better. Keeping your emotions in check will ensure a fruitful and exciting future. Willingness to compromise will be the component that makes a difference for you this year.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You will get a great deal of satisfaction if you help a cause you believe in. Sharing your time and skills will bring you fulfillment and pleasure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A change in status is apparent. If you are receptive to new ideas, you will come out ahead of the game.

An act of jealousy may cause you to rethink a current relationship.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Simplicity is key.

Don’t rock the boat if a friend or partner insists on being in charge. Diplomacy and tact will help you avoid trouble and get what you want.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Financial gains are in the stars. Take the advice of an experienced relative regarding investments or savings plans in order to build a strong and stable future.

fly-by-night organization or smooth-talking scam artist.

Don’t sign a contract until you consider the

consequences.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Make plans to do something special with someone you love. The hectic pace of the holiday season is enough to cause problems in most relationships. It’s time to kiss and make up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Take on added responsibilities or assignments in order to gain the respect of your employer. Suggest workplace improvements and offer the skills and services necessary to initiate change.
