LOCKPORT – Ron Caneva will leave after 40 years as Lockport city attorney and be replaced, at least temporarily, by former Joliet City Manager Tom Thanas.

Caneva said he plans to retire Dec. 31 from his position, but will assist the city on a part-time basis next year. Thanas, who most recently served in a temporary appointment as a Will County Circuit Court judge, will be hired as city attorney, although it’s not known how long he will stay, City Administrator Ben Benson said.

Thanas was appointed by Mayor Steven Streit and unanimously approved by the city council after a closed session at Wednesday’s meeting.

Benson said Thanas will be paid as much as Caneva in his new role, an estimated $124,000 annual salary.

Thanas was Benson’s boss when Benson was assistant city manager in Joliet before taking the Lockport job.

Benson said city officials chose Thanas because of his municipal knowledge and experience.

In the past, Thanas served as city attorney for Joliet and Naperville, as Tom well as regional counsel for Thanas Harrah’s Casino. He became Joliet’s city manager in 2008 before he resigned in 2013 and was appointed to the circuit court.

Benson worked for Thanas in Joliet as director marketing and comRon munications before being Caneva appointed assistant city manager.

“I was certainly able to learn a lot from him and consider him a mentor,” Benson said.

Thanas said he was excited to be a city attorney again. His 11-month appointment as judge ended Dec. 1. He chose not to run for election.

“I thought it was a good opportunity to work with [Benson] again and help him out and do the best I can for the city of Lockport,” Thanas said.

Benson said the city plans to have Thanas as its attorney for as long as he is available. City officials might consider using services from another law firm or bring in another attorney.

“Really, Lockport has so much going on in development and growth that we could use a multifaceted approach when it comes to attorneys,” he said.

Caneva said he chose to retire because he believed it was time. He notified Mayor Streit in September to give him time to find a replacement.

Caneva recalled his first time as the attorney was “a lot of fun,” and he was just a year out of law school.

Since that time, he watched the city’s population grow and engage in “boundary wars” over what could be considered the city’s limits.

“It’s great. I had very good mayors and council members,” Caneva said.

Plainfield library board seat up for election election April 7. Trustees Sharon Kinley, Crystal Andel and Carl Gilmore’s seats are up for four-year terms, and Fritz’s seat is up for a two-year term.

The board will be deciding whether to appoint someone to her seat until the election or leave it vacant.

“I wonder if it’s very fair to Gretchen ask someone to Fritz come on for four months ... that they may not be continuing after May of 2015,” Gilmore said.

But Director Julie Milavec said it could be a useful opportunity to train someone, depending on who files petitions, adding that three former trustees already have expressed interest.

“If we only lined up with one candidate for the two-year unexpired term on the ballot, then it may make sense to simply appoint that person in advance knowing that they’re basically a shoo-in,” Milavec said.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Public Library Board of Trustees officially has an open seat, giving potential candidates about two weeks to circulate petitions to get on the April ballot.

The board voted at a special meeting Thursday morning to approve the resignation of Trustee Gretchen Fritz.

Fritz, elected to a seat on the Will County Board, sent in her letter of resignation Sunday.

The board had to approve the resignation before potential candidates could circulate petitions.

A 1991 opinion by the Illinois Attorney General’s office states a citizen can’t serve as a library trustee and county board member.

Fritz did not attend the meeting, but other board members in attendance all voted to accept her resignation. Fritz had been a trustee since spring 2013.

There are four seats up for

Fritz’s resignation was on the agenda for the Nov. 19 meeting, but Fritz asked to table that item because the official November election results weren’t official.

Fritz did not appear to be in danger of losing the county board election because she held a 1,800 vote advantage over incumbent Reed Bible. The Will County Clerk’s office certified the election Nov. 25.

If the library board had not called the special meeting Thursday, Fritz’s resignation would have been accepted at the Dec. 19 regular meeting – meaning those interested in her seat would only have three days to gather and submit a 50-signature petition.

Attempts to reach Fritz for comment Thursday were unsuccessful. Anyone interested in running for the board can pick up petition forms at the library, 15025 S. Illinois St. in Plainfield, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Petitions must be filed between Dec. 15 and 5 p.m. Dec. 22 at the library.

GREULING PLEASED WITH SPEED OF DEVELOMENT Joliet industrial park reaches halfway mark

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com As Will County’s go-to person for economic development, John Greuling may be one of the most qualified to comment on the booming pace of development experienced with CenterPoint Properties’ two intermodals in Joliet and Elwood.

“The speed of the development has been the most shocking,” said Greuling, longtime president and CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development. “I don’t think anybody anticipated the rate of the development and the density of development we’ve seen in the last 12, 13 years.”

The Oak Brook-based CenterPoint announced earlier this year a handful of projects that will lead to the Joliet industrial park being halfway built out.

The latest projects in Joliet include a 406,000-square-foot distribution facility for Neovia Logistics Services, a fouracre container yard for Bridge Terminal Transport adjacent to the Union Pacific Intermodal Yard, and a 485,476-squarefoot speculative building not yet sold or leased.

At full capacity, the Joliet intermodal will total about 3,500 acres and 20 million square feet of building space, Eric Gilbert, senior vice president of infrastructure and logistics at CenterPoint, said in an email. Elwood’s 2,500-acre

TOP: Trucks drive through the container yard at CenterPoint Intermodal in July. industrial park is essentially built out.

Opponents of CenterPoint’s development point to the increasing number of semitrailers seen driving on local roads and interstates, but supporters argue the two facilities’ success as a transportation hub makes its one-of-a-kind in the Midwest.

CHANGING GLOBAL MARKET

Greuling said much of the fast-paced expansion at CenterPoint’s two intermodals

– which, combined, is among the largest inland ports in North America – has to do with timing.

The world was experiencing a major shift in the global supply chain in the early 2000s – right around the time CenterPoint Properties targeted the former Joliet Army Ammunition Plant near Elwood for development, Greuling said. Manufactured goods from Mexico, Canada and Europe were declining, he said, while goods from the

Pacific Rim and China were taking off.

Those goods wound up in the Midwest via two major West Coast rail lines – BNSF and Union Pacific – which now serve the CenterPoint’s two intermodal facilities, he said.

“That major shift in the global supply chain was going on,” Greuling said. “Whether, it was genius or luck or a combination of all of that, I think the timing couldn’t have been better.”

‘TIME IS MONEY’

Mark Schneidewind, manager for the Will County Farm Bureau, said CenterPoint’s presence in Joliet and Elwood has greatly improved the local farming industry’s operations.

He said he’s excited about the development of a trans-load facility for Saturn Agriculture to help transfer local soybeans and dried distilled grains into international containers.

Old Wal-Mart store being put to use Joliet council OKs self-storage facility

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – For seven long years, the Wal-Mart store at 305 S. Larkin Ave. has sat vacant.

That will change after the Joliet City Council’s vote earlier this week allowing DealPoint Merrill, LLC – a nationwide real estate development and property management firm – to convert the vacant building into an indoor storage facility.

“There’s nothing but positives that’s going to come out of this,” District 3 Councilman John Gerl said Thursday.

“Right now, there’s graffiti on the walls. It’s just not attractive.”

The 116,000-square-foot WalMart building has been sitting vacant since 2007, when it was replaced with the new Supercenter store on West Jefferson

Lauren Leone-Cross – lleonecross@shawmedia.com

The vacant Wal-Mart building, 305 S. Larkin Ave., has sat vacant since 2007. The Joliet City Council voted earlier this week to allow DealPoint Merrill, LLC – a nationwide real estate development and property management firm – to convert the vacant building into an indoor storage facility.

Street.

Since that time, the city had received just one other proposal to convert the building for new use.

“There’s not a lot of uses for a 116,000-square-foot space,” Gerl said.

The 13.4-acre site is listed as a pending sale on Wal-Mart’s Realty website. The listing price is $2.6 million – down from the 2007 asking price of $4.3 million.

The facility would be managed by CubeSmart, the fourth

largest self-storage operator in the U.S. and serve as a climate-controlled “super center” for self-storage with service amenities, according to an outline of DealPoint Merrill’s plan.

Some of those amenities

may include commercial and retail self-storage, business center and overnight shipping, truck rentals, and moving supply sales housed within a storm-proof facility.

At full capacity, there will be 865 storage units with 24hour access for renters.

Councilwoman Jan Quillman said because the proposed storage facility is set so far back off the street, retail shops or restaurants could potentially open up on site closer to Larkin.

The site is one of the first things people see when they get off Interstate 80 and head into Joliet, she said, so it will be nice for it to no longer be vacant.

“It was such an eyesore,” Quillman said. “Being one of the gateways into the city, I’m glad something is going to be in there and it’s going to look a lot nicer than what it is now.”

Gerl said there’s no definite timeline on when the storage facility will be complete, but he hopes by early next year.

East Joliet fire guts home for second time in four years

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – Charles Kinney stood in the middle of Middletree Road on Thursday afternoon, looked at his home of 29 years and shook his head.

“This stuff don’t happen twice,” Kinney said.

His chuckles turned to sobs as he sank down on the street next to the red SUV that belongs to East Joliet Fire Chief Robert Scholtes. Scholtes stood nearby coordinating firefighters efforts to save Kinney’s home for the second time in four years.

Kinney regained his composure quickly by repeating no one was injured in the blaze that took more than two hours to extinguish.

Kinney’s 13-year-old grand-

son, who has asthma and is taking medication, was sleeping inside when the fire started about 2:19 p.m., but woke up and reached the front door.

“I was coming back from downtown Joliet and saw the smoke around the corner. I turned and the street was full of smoke coming from the house,” Kinney said.

Kinney made sure his grandson got out and then made sure his wife’s dog also escaped.

“That was hard. She was running all over the place,” Kinney said.

Kinney, his wife, two of their children, his son’s girlfriend and six grandchildren live in the house.

Kinney and Scholtes recalled the single-story ranch was heavily damaged during an electrical fire in 2010, but

room collapsed so it was very difficult to reach the basement,” Scholtes said. Crews used axes and sledgehammers to break open the concrete wall that housed the living room windows to get hoses into the basement.

Channahon, Homer, Lockport Township, Manhattan, New Lenox, Northwest Homer, Rockdale and Wilmington fire departments assisted East Joliet at the scene.

After embracing relatives who became distraught as flames erupted from the living room windows, Kinney found two cases that appeared to hold guitars at the far side of the house and took them out of the firefighters’ way.

He asked Scholtes if the Red Cross was contacted to arrange lodging and was told they had been.

When questioned about having a feasibility study, Alberico said he would need the backing of the residents to go forward with the project before making any expenses for the study.

“Should I spend $30,000 to $40,000 of the taxpayers’ money [on a feasibility study] and then find out you guys aren’t interested in it anyway?” he said.

Township officials at the meeting also said they looked at other locations and options – including maintaining their stay at Lockport Central Square – but needed to find a place that would serve all township residents.

Bebrich insisted the township produce a more concrete plan and Alberico said he would do so if the resolution passed.

Before putting the resolution to a vote, a motion was made at the meeting to approve a ballot vote for the resolution.

The motion passed but Lockport resident Paul Siegel and Bebrich pushed for the resolution itself to be tabled instead.

After a vote count, the resolution was successfully tabled to an April 14 meeting.

“I understand the citizens’ feelings that maybe it wasn’t clear,” Alberico said about the resolution after the meeting.

Carl Bebrich Lockport resident

Los Angeles, London, New York, Chicago, Montreal

LOCKPORT – Concerned Lockport Township residents came out in force Thursday to question the township’s plans for a community center.

In a 32-28 vote from residents attending a Lockport Township special meeting, the resolution to give the township permission to move forward with a plan to build a community center was tabled to a future meeting.

Many residents were unclear about what township officials were asking of them, as well as costs and specifics of the community center project.

Some were not comfortable approving the resolution as a result.

A few residents were supportive of the community center project and wanted at least a concept plan created.

Lockport resident Carl Bebrich said he didn’t see any evidence of a plan or commitments from organizations who plan to contribute to the project.

“It seems to me you’re putting the cart before the horse.

You need to present a plan to the electorate on a feasibility study that shows what this is going to cost,” he said.

Township Supervisor Ronald Alberico has said the township is proposing to build a community center near Prairie Bluff Golf Course and Lockport Township Fire Protection District. The center would mainly serve senior citizens and have more space for township offices in need of it, such as the assessor and clerk office.

The center would potentially cost between $5 and $10 million, with $2 million provided by the township and the rest from possible state and federal funding, Alberico has said.

The project would not require a tax increase, he said.

Some residents were concerned about the potential influx of traffic to the area where

According to reports presented to the District 204 board recently by the teachers heading these classes, more students get passing grades in the blended learning classes.

More students also perform at proficient and advanced levels than students who attend traditional classes in the same subjects.

The classes combine faceto-face learning twice a week in the classroom, with remote video conferencing and messaging. Teaching tools include email, Microsoft Lync and the district’s online learning environment called JTLearn.

The subjects available in the blended learning program are English, government and

economics.

Starting this fall, all District 204 students have computer devices, the culmination of the district’s 1:1 technology initiative started last year when incoming freshmen were provided with laptops.

“I was worried about the dynamics and interaction, but that has really worked out well,” said Kelsey Duranty, who teaches both regular government classes and one blended government class at Joliet Central. “Technology issues were handled in the first week.”

Duranty said students in the blended learning classes had an average grade of 86 compared to an average of 74 in regular government classes.

All students in the newly instituted blended classes have to maintain a minimum grade of 75 to remain in the program.

“All [blended] classes seem to be excelling and outperforming the [traditional] classes by at least 5 percent,”

Duranty said in a later interview.

“That extra pressure of having to work on your own and using other resources, as well as the minimum 75 average grade required, is helping them,” she said. “They are doing more exploring learning, which seems to have them more intrigued and has taken their learning to another level.”

Joe Hoyt’s blended English class at Joliet Central had an average grade of 81 compared to students in his regular class, who scored an average of 75.

Ninety percent of the blended class students completed their assignments, compared to 75 percent in the nonblended classes, he said.

The teachers presented a video of students in the blended learning classes, who gave their opinions on the class benefits. Most indicated that independent study provided students more control over their own curriculum, increased technology fluency and taught students how to

better manage their time to complete coursework and assignments.

Duranty said parents were apprehensive about enrolling

their students in these new classes.

But, she said, “I hope it continues to grow and that more subjects will be offered.”

Plainfield train stoppage diverts ambulance

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Yet another stopped Canadian National train stymied traffic Thursday afternoon in downtown Plainfield, causing an ambulance to use another route on an emergency call.

This time the delay was only for 15 minutes, Plainfield Police Chief John Konopek said.

“We’re fortunate it was

only stopped for that long,” Konopek said, noting the ambulance incident.

The ambulance was on an emergency call that was not life-threatening.

Shortly after 2 p.m., the train blocked traffic at crossings with Naper-Plainfield Road, Route 126, Center Street, Eastern Avenue and Lockport Street.

Konopek said a hotbox detector caused the stoppage, explaining the device is posi-

tioned along the tracks, sending a signal to stop the train if one of the train’s tires or wheel assemblies is overheating.

In such a case, the train engineer is supposed to stop and check the entire train. Stopped trains have been a recurring problem in Plainfield, which has several at-grade crossings.

On Nov. 20, a train blocked morning traffic for 2½ hours, creating problems for school buses and motorists headed to work.

Counterfeit bills passed at businesses in Morris

By CHRISTINA CHAPMAN-VAN YPEREN cchapman@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Secret Service is assisting Morris police in an investigation into counterfeit money.

Morris police have received reports of three instances where counterfeit bills were passed at local businesses.

The first report was made Sunday. Two older style $100 bills with the same serial number were passed in the same store, but in separate trans-

actions, according to a news release from police. It appears the offender made small purchases in an effort to transfer the counterfeit bills into real dollars.

The offender in this case was captured on surveillance video. He is described as a black male, between 18 and 30 years old, between 5 feet 10 inches to 6’3” tall, weighing between 170 and 210 pounds, wearing dark clothing, and a stocking cap. He possibly drove a white full size van with writing on the side, according to the news release.

“In my experience, there is probably more than one person doing this,” Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said.

The second report was made Tuesday by another business. It received a counterfeit $20 bill. The business believed the bill was received Sunday.

A third report was made by a local bank that received a counterfeit $100 bill that matched the serial number of the previous $100 bills reported. This counterfeit was discovered by the bank while process-

ing a business’s night deposit.

The Seneca Police Department also received the same counterfeit $100 bills on Saturday, according to the news release.

The U.S. Secret Service has been notified and has opened an investigation through the Chicago Field Office.

“One of their focuses is counterfeiting,” Dite said.

“When we contacted them, it probably piqued their interest because there are likely similar reports in the area. Traditionally, that is why they would

get involved.”

Businesses and banks are advised to be diligent in examining bills that might be counterfeit, especially during this holiday season. If a bill appears to be counterfeit, contact Morris police at 815-942-2131.

The Secret Service has two websites that can offer tips and downloadable guides: www. newmoney.gov and www. secretservice.gov. The Morris Police Department also has a limited quantity of brochures, “Know Your Money,” provided by the Secret Service.

Panel OKs Wrigley plans for possible tax credit

News from across the state

Quinn left with few, tough options on minimum wage

SPRINGFIELD – A final piece of outgoing Gov. Pat Quinn’s legacy is up in the air as lawmakers left Springfield for the year without sending the Chicago Democrat legislation increasing Illinois’ minimum wage.

After championing the issue through a grueling re-election bid, Quinn is left with few tough options before Republican Gov.elect Bruce Rauner takes office.

He can call a special session, forcing lawmakers to focus on the issue but at the risk of them refusing to act. Or he can try to persuade House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton to return, a skill Quinn hasn’t had much success with before.

The Senate, which approved a proposal raising Illinois’ $8.25 rate to $11 over time, adjourned Thursday with Cullerton saying he’s open to returning and will leave the legwork to Quinn.

But Madigan, who’s indicated there weren’t votes for the plan, adjourned Wednesday with no plans to return until Rauner is sworn in. Madigan spokesman Steve Brown said there’s no indication of a special session in the works.

Quinn wouldn’t spell out what he intends do. Spokesman Grant Klinzman said “all options are on the table” as Quinn calls and meets with House lawmakers to urge support of the plan.

“We will keep pushing,” Klinzman said.

However, political experts said persuading House lawmakers or Madigan is unlikely. Quinn has long had a frosty relationship with legislators, and has little leverage as a lame-duck governor.

“Quinn’s problem now, just

Workers use hoses to keep dust down as construction equipment starts to take big bites out of Wrigley Field’s outfield walls Oct. 16 in Chicago. The Cubs have agreed to several changes in their Wrigley Field renovation plan in exchange for a federal tax credit worth up to $75 million. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks will consider the agreement during a meeting Thursday. Cubs spokesman Julian Green said the deal with the National Park Service will prevent other signs from encroaching on the historic centerfield manual scoreboard. The deal could earn Wrigley a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.

like it’s been for most of his governorship, is he doesn’t have votes in the General Assembly,” said Kent Redfield, professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Springfield.

Another issue is the track record for Quinn and his predecessors on special sessions.

Quinn twice called lawmakers to Springfield on pensions. Neither produced results.

“The governor starts to look ineffectual and starts annoying the legislators gratuitously,” said Chris Mooney, a UIS political studies professor. “It’s unlikely that it would have any substantive effect. It would be embarrassing on the way out.”

Quinn made raising Illinois’ wage a campaign bedrock. He vowed an increase to at least $10 by year’s end. But he’s been unable to build a majority, even with voters’ support for a nonbinding ballot measure on the issue.

Any momentum began to dissipate when Rauner, a Winnetka businessman, asked lawmakers

not to take up major issues ahead of his first term in public office. He supports an increase only if it’s paired with other reforms. Then, earlier this week, Chicago crammed through its city council a proposal to raise the city’s wage to $13 by 2019.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who’s seeking re-election, said he initially did so to keep legislators from blocking city efforts. Later, he said he wanted to inspire lawmakers to act.

43rd president’s book signing sparks controversy

NAPERVILLE – Officials of a Chicago suburb are questioning who should pay the cost of the security provided for a book signing this week by former President George W. Bush.

Naperville City Council member Doug Krause said he’s heard from downtown businesses that lost customers after a street was closed for hours around Bush’s Monday visit to Anderson’s Bookshop. The 43rd president was promoting the biography he wrote about his father, former President George H. W. Bush.

Police Chief Robert Marshall hasn’t specified the cost of Bush’s visit. However, Krause said perhaps the bookstore should be responsible for additional costs.

Bookstore owner Becky Anderson said she paid for three Naperville police officers to be present during the event.

She said road and parking lot closures were at the discretion of the Secret Service.

U.S. Senate OKs naming veterans clinic for Evans

SPRINGFIELD – The U.S. Senate has approved legislation to name a federal veterans’ facility in Galesburg after late U.S. Rep. Lane Evans of Illinois.

The bipartisan effort from Illinois members of Congress aims to name the building the Lane A. Evans VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic. U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk announced the Senate action on Thursday.

Evans was from Rock Island and joined the U.S. Marine Corps at age 17. He was elected to Congress in 1982 and served 12 terms. He died Nov. 5 after a battle with Parkinson’s disease.

The legislation next goes to the U.S. House where U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos has led the effort to pass the measure. Bustos represents the district Evans served.

name as Ibolya Ryan. Managing Director Ben Glickman told The Associated Press she started teaching in the country last August or September and hoped to continue working in there.

“She was really a kind and enthusiastic person, and she was really enjoying her time over there,” Glickman said.

Ryan taught in Colorado before moving to the Emirates, according to Glickman. She worked at Palmer Elementary School in Denver from 1997 to 2003, Denver Public Schools spokesman Doug Schepman said Thursday. Colorado records show Ryan had a license to teach in Colorado that was issued in December 2012 and that she was trained to work with special education students with moderate needs.

On a Footprints Recruiting webpage, Ryan describes herself as a Hungarian originally born and raised in neighboring Romania who trained as a teacher in the U.S. and Europe.

Elwood familiar with increased truck traffic • PROJECT

Continued from page 3 The addition of Saturn will provide better competitive prices for commodities, he said.

“We’ve already had quite a few exports in this area already, so now we’ll have yet another one. The competition is good for farmers,” Schneidewind said. “When you take a look at everybody sharpening their pencils … to a farmer, that’s good. Instead of only having to worry about selling to one, now there’s four or five options and the competition will drive the price up.”

The addition of new technology at DeLong Company, a grain exporter in CenterPoint that ships grain and ethanol byproducts worldwide, has quickened the pace goods can be loaded into containers and shipped off.

Companies at the Joliet and Elwood intermodals

shipped 110 million bushels, mostly corn and soybeans, for export markets in 2013.

“Time is money and they understand that,” Schneidewind said, noting CenterPoint’s prime location near two major interstates – I-55 and I-80 – and nearby waterways.

INCREASED TRUCK TRAFFIC

But as more development rolls into the area, so do trucks. Elwood officials are all too familiar with CenterPoint’s fast-paced development and the trucks that come with it.

The village and CenterPoint are involved in an ongoing Illinois Commerce Commission case concerning increased truck traffic at a railroad crossing along Route 53 near its own intermodal.

The gates at Walter Strawn Drive railroad crossing near the Elwood intermodal were broken nearly 50 times last year.

Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said he’s concerned future developments at the Joliet intermodal will lead to even more traffic spilling over from Route 53 into Elwood.

“No one is disputing what CenterPoint has done for the area, but it should not be done at the sacrifice and endangerment of public safety,” said Hayes, who served 31 years in the Joliet Police Department, including five as chief.

“Certainly with the increased volume of commercial truck traffic mixed with residential areas, the potential for fatalities increase.”

In an email, Gilbert said CenterPoint frequently reaches out to trucking companies and other tenants to encourage use of other routes, such as I-55 and Arsenal Road.

Earlier this year, the developer erected billboards along Interstate 80 and Route 53 to promote the use of other routes.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – Police in the United Arab Emirates have arrested a woman they say is behind the stabbing death of an American teacher and a separate plot to bomb another American’s house, a top official said Thursday as authorities moved swiftly to calm fears of instability in the normally peaceful Gulf nation.

Interior Minister Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who also is deputy prime minister, said the attacker targeted her victims based on their nationality alone in an attempt to create chaos and terrorize the country. He called the stabbing of the woman, who previously lived in Colorado, a crime that is “alien to our secure country.”

“The victim of this brutal crime was a schoolteacher who was committed to building

strong future generations,” he told reporters.

Word of the gruesome killing, which left a trail of blood in a public restroom at an Abu Dhabi mall, has rattled the Emirates, a Western-allied, seven-state Gulf federation that includes the glitzy commercial hub of Dubai.

Violent crime and terrorist attacks are rare in the oil-rich country, which is home to a large foreign-born population that far outnumbers Emirati citizens.

Police say the teacher was stabbed to death by a butcher’s knife-wielding attacker shrouded in the full black veil commonly worn by women throughout the Gulf Arab region. Emirati authorities identified the victim by the initials I.R. and said she was 47 years old.

The company that placed the victim in the Abu Dhabi teaching job, Vancouver, British Columbia-based Footprints Recruiting, gave her

House rebukes President on immigration

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Emboldened House Republicans issued a stern but symbolic rebuke to President Barack Obama over immigration Thursday, passing a bill declaring his executive actions to curb deportations “null and void and without legal effect.”

Outraged Democrats, immigrant advocates and the White House said the GOP was voting to tear families apart and eject parents.

“Rather than deport students and separate families and make it harder for law enforcement to do its job, I just want the Congress to work with us to pass a commonsense law to fix that broken immigration system,” Obama said ahead of the vote.

Even supporters acknowledged that the bill by Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., which says Obama was acting “without any constitutional or statutory basis,” was mostly meant to send a message.

It stands no chance in the Senate, which remains under Democratic control until January, and faces the veto threat from Obama.

The real fight may lie ahead as conservatives push to use must-pass spending legislation to block Obama.

For now, Republicans insisted they must go on record denouncing what they described on the House floor as an outrageous power grab by Obama.

“The president thinks he can just sit in the Oval Office and make up his own laws. That’s not the way our system of government works,” said Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La. “This legislation says you can’t do that, Mr. President. There is a rule of law.”

The vote was 219 to 197, with three Democratic “yes” votes and seven Republican “no” votes. Three Republicans voted “present.”

Obama’s executive actions last month will extend deportation relief and work permits to

some 4 million immigrants here illegally, mostly those who have been in the country more than five years and have children who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. He also reordered law enforcement priorities and expanded an existing deportation deferral program for immigrants brought illegally as kids.

Compounding the GOP’s anger, Obama’s executive action came barely two weeks after Republicans trounced Democrats in the midterm elections, winning control of the Senate and increasing their majorities in the House.

Democratic lawmakers rallied behind the president Thursday, and immigrant advocates warned Republicans would be alienating Latinos heading into 2016 presidential elections in which the Hispanic vote is expected to be significant.

“They should remember that this is not a fight between Republicans and the president,” said Clarissa Martinez de Castro, of the National Council of La Raza. “They will be picking a fight with the millions of American families who will finally find some relief.”

Even as emotions ran high in debate on the bill, many involved acknowledged it was mostly a sideshow as Republicans struggled to find some way to undo what Obama has done – not just register their disapproval. Party leaders acknowledged their options were limited given Obama’s veto pen, and no clear solution beckoned.

The Yoho bill was part of a two-part strategy by House GOP leadership to appease conservative immigration hardliners without risking a government shutdown. Their hope was that after approving it, Republicans would move on next week to vote on legislation to keep most of the government running for a year, with a shorter timeframe for the Homeland Security Department, which oversees immigration.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Flu vaccine may be less effective this winter

NEW YORK – The flu vaccine may not be very effective this winter, according to U.S. health officials who worry this may lead to more serious illnesses and deaths.

Flu season has begun to ramp up, and officials say the vaccine does not protect well against the dominant strain seen most commonly so far this year.

That strain tends to cause more deaths and hospitalizations, especially in the elderly.

“Though we cannot predict what will happen the rest of this flu season, it’s possible we may have a season that’s more severe than most,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at a news conference Thursday.

CDC officials think the vaccine should provide some protection and still are urging people to get vaccinated. But it probably won’t be as good as if the vaccine strain was a match.

– forecasters expected higher winds, clouds and rain – but managers were optimistic the wind direction would shift in their favor.

United Launch Alliance’s Dan Collins, who’s in charge of the unmanned Delta IV rocket, said he was confident the valve trouble, seen before on a previous mission, could be quickly overcome.

House OKs campaign against extremists

WASHINGTON – The Republican-controlled House approved a $585 billion defense policy bill that grants President Barack Obama the authority to expand the U.S. military campaign against Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria despite misgivings about a new American combat role after more than a decade of war.

Cases converge to stir debate

By TOM HAYS and COLLEEN LONG The Associated Press NEW YORK – From the White House to the streets of some of America’s biggest cities, the New York chokehold case converged with the Ferguson shooting and investigations out of South Carolina and Cleveland to stir a national conversation Thursday about racial justice and police use of force.

A day after a grand jury cleared a white New York City officer in the death of a black man, civil rights leaders pinned their hopes on a promised federal investigation. Demonstrators protested for a second night in New York and turned out in such cities as Denver, Detroit and Minneapolis. And politicians and others talked about the need for better police training, body cameras and changes in the grand jury process to restore faith in the legal system.

“A whole generation of of-

ficers will be trained in a new way,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio vowed he and his police commissioner outlined previously announced plans to teach officers how to communicate better with people on the street.

President Barack Obama weighed in, saying one of the chief issues at stake is “making sure that people have confidence that police and law enforcement and prosecutors are serving everybody equally.”

Even before the decision in the Eric Garner case came down, racial tensions were running high because of last week’s grand jury decision not to charge a white officer in the shooting death of black 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

Other cases were added to the mix on Thursday: In the tiny South Carolina town of Eutawville, a white former police chief was charged with murder in the 2011 shooting of an unarmed black man. Richards Combs’

lawyer accused prosecutors of taking advantage of national outrage toward police to obtain the indictment more than three years after the killing.

In Cleveland, the U.S. Justice Department and the city reached an agreement to overhaul the police department after federal investigators found that officers use excessive force far too often, causing deep mistrust, especially among blacks. The investigation was prompted chiefly by a 2012 car chase that ended in the deaths of two unarmed people in a hail of 137 bullets.

Just last week, protesters took to the streets of Cleveland after a white police officer shot and killed a black 12-year-old boy carrying what turned out to be pellet gun.

At a news conference in New York after a night of protests led to 83 arrests, the Rev. Al Sharpton called the state-level grand jury system “broken” when it comes to police brutality cases and urged federal authorities to fix it.

PLAINFIELD SOUTH 47, PLAINFIELD EAST 27

South beats East in SPC opener

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – With much of last year’s Southwest Prairie Conference championship team returning, Plainfield South’s wrestling team understandably is excited about this season.

After an eighth-place showing at Barrington last weekend despite being short-handed, the Cougars were looking forward to a good start in SPC action against Plainfield East.

With no more season-ending tournaments to influence who wins the conference title, dual meets have taken on extra importance and, as a result, the defending champs walked away with a 47-27 victory Thursday over the host Bengals.

“Barrington was a good first test for us and to finish eighth without a full lineup is a positive in that kind of a tournament,” South coach Jason Acevedo said. “East is always a solid team and I respect coach (Nick) Curby and his coaches and his guys are always ready to battle so whenever you have a chance to get bonus points against them, it’s a positive.

“They figure to be in the mix for the conference title, so to put together a good win is a building block. We’re nowhere near being ready and know that we made mistakes that we have to correct to get to our ultimate goal. One of our goals is to repeat, and without a tournament, it makes the duals more exciting since this entire conference is tough.”

South jumped out to a 9-0

lead after Nate Karas pinned August Ramos in 3:29 in the opener at 285.

Xavier Gastelum followed by getting a second-period escape in a 1-0 win at 106 against Colin Burke.

After the Bengals moved in front after forfeit wins by Michael McGee and Khaalis Alexander, South’s Marc Fleenor scored the win by injury default in 13 seconds at 126 when Nick Drew was unable to continue the match.

East grabbed its last lead, 1815, when Zach Krause pinned Daniel Escobar in 5:13 at 132 before Andrew Bonnor recorded a fall in 3:47 over Keith Bitner.

Liam Hannon followed with a pin in 2:51 over Kevon Floyd to give the Cougars a 27-18 lead.

“We did pretty well tonight but we still need a lot of im-

provement and have to work on some stuff,” Hannon said.

“A couple of kids wrestled sloppy but still got it done. We lost Miguel Silva but return 11 guys who are returning starters.

We’re doing pretty well so far.

I like that we’re like a family.

We hang out, and we’re always with each other.”

After East’s Omar Salazar pulled out an 8-5 win over Joe Minor at 152, South won the next two to take control.

Adrian Cervantes claimed an 11-3 win over Rob Michalowicz at 160 and Derek Biliskov followed with a fall in 1:25 over Troy Mayon to make it 37-21.

The Bengals got their final win at 182 when Jake Mayon pinned Edwin Hernandez in 59 seconds and South responded with a 17-6 victory by Danny Saracco over Zach Dixon

before Eric Johnson closed things out with a fall in 3:35 over Jacob Hughes.

“So far this year has kind of been like a roller coaster,” Bengals coach Nick Curby said.

“We’ve only wrestled three matches but we’ve looked really good at times and there are times where it’s like, ‘Man, why aren’t we doing things in matches that we’re working on?’

“We’re a little inexperienced at some weights so we’re still going to be some of the problems for awhile. We knew that South would have a good team this year since they were a little younger last year. We knew that everything would have to fall our way to beat them. The good news is regionals aren’t next week and we have time to work on things.”

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com CHICAGO – Robbie Gould (right quad) missed his first game since 2012, as he was inactive for Thursday night’s game against the Cowboys, along with Jeremiah Ratliff, who missed his fifth game of the season.

Gould was sore and missed Tuesday’s practice and was listed on the Bears injury report as doubtful. This is only the fourth game he has missed since taking over as the Bears’ kicker in 2005. Jay Feely, who signed Wednesday, kicked field goals. He has never kicked in a game at Soldier Field.

Ratliff was out on the field early working out with Paul Pasqualoni and was deemed unready to play. He was limited in practice Monday and Tuesday and does not get to face his former team. The knee injury also kept him out of last week’s loss to the Lions.

Rookie Will Sutton received the start for Ratliff at the three-technique.

The good news for the Bears is that Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) and Chris Conte (eye) were active after being listed as questionable. The other Bears inactives were Darryl Sharpton (hamstring), Cornelius Washington (chest), Terrance Mitchell, Khaseem Greene and Eben Britton.

Trevor Scott (knee) returned to action for the first time since Week 10, and filled in for Washington on special teams and the defensive line.

CHICAGO – The talk all week was about getting Matt Forte involved.

But a player whose consistent playmaking the unit has missed arguably as much as Forte’s consistent usage almost singlehandedly – literally – provided one of the Bears’ few offensive sparks in their 41-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.

It wasn’t quite as acrobatic as his one-handed touchdown in San Francisco, but Brandon Marshall, with his left arm being held by Cowboys safety J.J. Wilcox, tapped a Jay Cutler throw down the seam to himself with his right arm to secure a 42-yard gain, the Bears’ longest gain in three games.

Later in the drive, after the Bears on fourth-and-7 at the Dallas 30 eschewed bringing on Jay Feely to try a 47-yard field goal, Marshall came up big once more. High-pointing a Cutler pass over the middle, Marshall corralled a 15-yard Cutler pass to move the chains.

Marshall’s clutch grab came at a signifcant cost.

He received a knee to the back from Cowboys safety Barry Church, keeping him on the field for several minutes before Marshall immediately headed to the locker room with what was announced as an injury to his ribs. He was quickly transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

Kromer comes to Bears well-traveled

Offensive coordinator develops grasp on NFL offenses

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Bears’ Brandon Marshall takes a knee to the back from Dallas’ Barry Church during the first half Thursday against the Cowboys at Soldier Field in Chicago.

After signing a three-year, $30 million extension in May, Marshall has fought through ankle injuries and inconsistency amid the least productive campaign (61-721-8) since his rookie year in 2006.

Conte’s goal line struggles: Chris Conte, who missed most of the Week 13 loss in Detroit after suffering an eye injury, was on the losing end at his own goal line on a pair of touchdowns

by Cowboys No. 3 receiver Cole Beasley.

Conte was barreled over by Beas-

ley from around the 5-yard line with 13 seconds left before halftime to give Dallas a 14-7 advantage. It was the second time in the half Conte and the Bears appeared to lose track of Beasley in the red zone, the other on thirdand-goal on the Cowboys’ first touchdown drive.

Then, on Dallas’ opening possession of the second half, after a Forte fumble, Conte mistimed his jump on a broken play from Tony Romo to Beasley, resulting in a 24-yard touchdown and 21-7 Dallas lead.

Technically speaking, Aaron Kromer is in his 25th year of coaching football, which is about half his life dedicated to teaching the game. But really, it goes all the way back to high school.

“When I was a high school player, basketball and football, I used to like working with the young kids at the camps, so I’d always go and do those things at the high schools and in the local area,” said Kromer, the Bears offensive coordinator.

Kromer grew up in Castalia, Ohio, which had a population of 935 per the 2000 census. He went to Miami of Ohio to play football – offensive tackle – and had pretty big aspirations considering his hometown.

“I went in to get a teaching degree – I thought I was going to be a high school teacher and coach.

I was from a small town, and that was high ambition in itself.”

Kromer didn’t exactly have a big sports background in his

family, but important traits to life and coaching were learned in his household.

In Year 25, Kromer will join his fellow staff members in coming under criticism for what has been a disappointing season for the Bears, especially on offense.

His two areas of expertise, offensive line and running game, have at times been the only highlights.

Kromer was considered one of the top assistants in the league when he came to Chicago from New Orleans.

Randy Walker was hired at Miami of Ohio during Kromer’s senior year and asked Kromer to stay on as a graduate assistant.

Kromer said he was taking the same coaching path Walker took with Dick Crum, a head coach at Miami in the mid-1970s and then North Carolina from 1978 to 1987.

In 1999, Kromer made his first move to the Chicago area, joining Walker on the Northwestern staff, coaching the Wildcats’ offensive line. In 2000, Northwestern was a co-Big Ten champion

More online Visit ChicagoFootball.com for the latest coverage of Thursday night’s Bears vs. Cowboys game. with one of the country’s best offenses.

It took only two years in the Big Ten before Kromer made the move to the NFL, and that’s when he met Marc Trestman.

It also was a great way to network. Jon Gruden hired Kromer to join his Raiders staff, where Kromer said he got a “doctorate in football” from the current “Monday Night Football” analyst, and he joined Bill Callahan and Trestman on Oakland’s offense.

Kromer then went with Gruden to Tampa Bay, but he always wanted to coach with someone he met at Miami and had become good friends with, Sean Payton, the Redhawks’ offensive coordinator from 1994 to 95.

The highlight on Kromer’s résumé before coming to Chicago was the success of the Saints’

offense, including a Super Bowl title after the 2009 season, but it’s the six games he was interim head coach in 2012 that also stand out.

“It was a weird situation because no team has never really been in a situation like that,” said Jermon Bushrod, Kromer’s left tackle in both New Orleans and Chicago. “I think he did a great job filling in. He understood his task Jermon that he was only Bushrod going to be in that Bears position for six offensive weeks, but I think linemen he made the best out of it.”

Bushrod appeared in only three games in his first two NFL seasons before Kromer came to New Orleans. An injury thrust Bushrod into a prominent role protecting Drew Brees’ blind side. After starting all but two games over the next four seasons, Bushrod was able to cash in on a lucrative contract with the Bears.

He credits some of his career success to the tutelage he has received from Kromer, now in two different stops. And Kromer’s

presence in Chicago helped Bushrod’s free-agent selection of the Bears.

“His techniques and everything that he’s preached has been pretty beneficial to me,” Bushrod said. “He’s been pretty patient with me over the years.

I fight to grow as much as I can, and to work on things, and he’s been very understanding with that and he’s helped me out a lot along the way.”

Bushrod has seen the development of Kromer, from a pure Oline coach to someone who now has a good grasp of NFL offenses.

“He’s had more on his plate, he’s not just dealing with the offensive line. He’s working more with the offense, working more with the quarterbacks,” Bushrod said. “Just trying to help everyone out that’s around him, trying to bring along the younger guys, continuing to help out us older guys that have been in this league for a little while. It’s been great, the things he’s been able to bring.”

“I’ve seen him, he’s excelled at being a position coach,” Bushrod said. “He’s continuing to do a great job as offensive coordinator over the last couple years.

The next step is for him to get the head coaching job.”

MORRIS 54, ROCHELLE 24

Aggressive Morris pins down Rochelle for victory

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Right from the start Thursday night, the Morris wrestling team was aggressive.

The match started with the 145-pound weight class, and Redskins wrestler Shain Hennessy wasted no time in getting things going. Actually, he wasted all of 16 seconds to pin Rochelle’s Isaiah Ramos and put Morris ahead, 6-0. The Redskins never looked back en route to a 54-24 Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover victory.

“Shain did a great job of getting us going,” Morris coach Jon Lanning said. “He’s 3-0 now, and he has looked really good so far.”

Morris’ A.J. Vota won the 152-pound match by forfeit, then Cody Baldridge lost, 5-2,

by Rochelle’s Alex Harvey to make the score, 12-3. Ryan Olsen then dominated the 171-pound match for Morris, scoring a takedown and three near-fall points almost immediately against Javier Aguirre.

Olsen then allowed Aguirre to escape and took him down

Morris’ Ryan Olsen takes down Rochelle’s Javier Aguirre on Thursday in Morris. Olsen pinned Aguirre in 1:50 as the Redskins claimed a 54-24 victory. again before finally recording the fall at the 1:50 mark to hand Morris an 18-3 lead. Ryan Kowalczyk then won by forfeit at 182 for Morris before Victor Toussaint matched Hennesey’s feat with a 16-second win by fall over James Rosenberg to put the Redkins comfortably

ahead, 30-3.

“We had a lot of quick falls tonight,” Lanning said. “That was nice to see. Ryan Olsen was very aggressive tonight in his match. All of our kids were, really. The guys came out ready and were really attacking. That’s the kind of team we

want to have.

“I would rather be on the attack and be proactive in a match than wait and react to what the other guy is doing.

Some teams like to react, but I prefer to take a shot and lose than sit back and wait.”

After Toussaint’s win at 195, Rochelle’s Darryl Williams pinned Charlie Clark in 1:03 to pull Rochelle to within 30-9. Andrew Faught got those points right back for Morris in the 285-pound bout, taking 37 seconds to pin Will Lawhorn.

In the 106-pound match, Rochelle’s Justin Hernandez pinned Michael Milton in 2:18 to make it, 36-15, before Morris’ Dillon Thompson at 113 and John Le at 120 each won by forfeit for a 48-15 advantage.

In what turned out to be the most competitive match of the night, Morris freshman Marques Kjellesvik lost to Rochelle’s Ralfy Mancinas, 9-5. Mancinas took a 4-0 lead, but Kjellesvik escaped and took him down to make it 4-3.

The third period started with Kjellesvik in the down position, trailing 5-3. He escaped with 1:10 left in the match to make

it, 5-4, but Mancinas took him down with 15 seconds left. With seven seconds left, Kjellesvik escaped again to make it 7-5 and needed a takedown to tie it. Mancinas recorded the takedown at the buzzer to make the final tally.

“Marques did a real nice job,” Lanning said. “He’s only a freshman, and he hadn’t wrestled before he came to our camp over the summer. He’s still learning his way around the mat, but he’s a very promising wrestler.”

Rochelle’s Jake Meyers followed with a pin of Ethan Elleson in 3:45 in the 132-pound match to make it 48-24 before Morris’ Dominic Byerly closed the night with a pin of Dustin Kanas in 3:58 at 138.

“Dominic wrestled a real good match,” Lanning said.

“Overall, this was a good night for us. Coach (Cal) Ferry does a nice job with his kids. He’s an Illinois alum like me, so it’s fun to get together. Like us, they have a young team, so this was a good matchup for us this early in the season.”

PLAINFIELD –A string of four successive pins gave the Plainfield North wrestling team a commanding 33-16 lead over Plainfield Central, but the Tigers could not overcome injury and illness Thursday night.

Central claimed five matches by forfeit – including the final two at 138 and 145 – to edge North, 38-36, in the teams’ Southwest Prairie Conference

opener at Central.

It would have been a different outcome if North had a healthier lineup. The Tigers won seven of the nine matches they wrestled. North also had to forfeit matches at 152, 182 and 120.

“I think everybody up and down the lineup and the staff is frustrated,’’ North coach Jeff Kastel said. “It’s unfortunate we’ve got guys sick and injured.

“It’s been a rough start, but the guys are looking sharp.

They’re improving every match and they’re focused on winning.’’

North’s stretch of four straight pins came from Leo Santos (1:55 at 220), Nick Wolf (1:10 at 285), Marcus Povlick (1:56 at 106) and Tyler Myers (5:43 at 113).

Cubs change plans for possible tax credit

CHICAGO – The Commission on Chicago Landmarks will consider several changes Thursday the Cubs made to their Wrigley Field renovation plan in exchange for possible federal tax credit worth up to $75 million.

The deal with the National Park Service would alter the dimensions and placement of video boards and other signs in order to not encroach on the historic manual center-field scoreboard and the ballpark’s view of the neighborhood, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Cubs spokesman Julian Green said the deal with park service would put the team on track to receive tax credits.

It could earn Wrigley a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.

The changes to the renovation plan include eliminating a 650-foot sign in left field and swapping locations of a video board and a 650-foot sign in right field.

The right-field video board would 200 feet smaller – 2,200 square feet – and the left-field video board would move 30 feet closer to the center-field scoreboard.

Senators to NFL: Drop ‘blackout’ rule

WASHINGTON – Senators from both parties warned the National Football League on Thursday to get rid of a fourdecade-old TV “blackout” rule or risk congressional action to restrict the league’s lucrative antitrust exemption, which allows NFL teams to negotiate radio and television broadcast rights together.

The blackout rule, which bars home games from being televised in a local market if they have not sold out, is unfair to fans who have helped the league reap billions of dollars in revenue from broadcast rights to games that are among the most-watched programs on TV, lawmakers said.

OUR VIEW

Thumbs-up: to educating about medical conditions

The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-up and thumbs-down: Thumbs-up: to Janice Sammons of Braidwood for spreading the word about LVADs – left ventricular assist device – as her husband Roy Sammans has to treat his heart disease. People with this device have no pulse because the device pumps the blood through their body. However, if cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed on such a patient, the device may become dislodged. Thanks to Janice’s efforts, more people are now familiar with a less-familiar medical mechanical device.

Thumbs-down: To governmental agencies passing the buck off on one another. Two instances of this occurred this week. In Plainfield, local officials complained they were not solely responsible for taking action against an area farmer who reportedly allowed people to dump garbage on his property near the Des Plaines River. They pointed the finger at regional and state authorities for not having stepped up earlier.

Then in Joliet, local officials redirected criticism over a lack of shelter at a temporary railway platform toward railroad authorities.

They volleyed responsibility back to local officials, saying a city contractor built the platform.

Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone worked together to get something done instead of pushing off blame on one another?

Thumbs-up: to Stone City VFW Post 2199 in Joliet for its Hall of Honor. Anybody who visits can see the photos of veterans of past conflicts – some who’ve died and some who are still alive – and remember the sacrifices they made.

The Hall of Honor is not only meant to recognize veterans, but to start a discussion about military life.

Veterans deserved to be remembered every day, not just a few days a year set aside to honor those who served.

Thumbs-down: to Gretchen Fritz for waiting until Sunday to send in her letter of resignation to the Plainfield Library Board. The board accepted the resignation at a special meeting Thursday, which gives a little time for potential candidates to circulate petitions before a Dec. 22 deadline to run for the seat being vacated by Fritz. But not enough time. Fritz resigned because she was elected Nov. 4 to the county board. She supposedly waited nearly four weeks until results from her race, which were obvious Nov. 4, became official.

All votes were counted by Nov. 18 and the final, super-official canvass was Nov. 25. Then Fritz waited another five days to resign.

Bold adventure needed to attract a new generation to science

NASA once delivered manned space mission milestones routinely.

Alan Shepard became the first American in space in 1961. John Glenn became the first U.S. astronaut to orbit the Earth the next year. Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon in 1969, and the first space shuttle launched in 1981.

But in the past 33 years, NASA hasn’t launched a manned spacecraft with a new design. Efforts to change that will make a major advance if Friday’s planned launch of an unmanned Orion crew vehicle is successful. (Thursday’s launch was scrubbed).

If weather and systems cooperate, NASA will take its first step toward putting humans aboard Orion in 2021 and allowing U.S. exploration beyond

low-earth orbit.

North Alabama should have an especially keen interest in the mission. The launch will use a Delta IV Heavy rocket assembled at the United Launch Alliance plant in Decatur.

Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville oversaw development of propulsion elements in Orion’s emergency launch abort system, an innovation that would activate in an emergency during launch or initial ascent to propel the Orion crew to safety. Marshall also had a role in Orion testing.

There are many interesting facets to the mission, which will last only 4½ hours but eventually could lead to a manned Mars mission in the 2030s.

Engineers want to see how well Orion’s parachutes perform to slow the craft because

it will return to Earth at an intentionally high speed to mimic that on a return from Mars.

Additionally, the speed will increase temperatures on re-entry into earth’s atmosphere to 4,000 degrees and test Orion’s heat shield protection.

A large portion of the mission will be spent intentionally in the Van Allen Belts to let sensors test the craft’s radiation shielding.

Orion’s computers, which are 400 times faster than the space shuttle’s, and the craft’s ability to jettison parts as they become unneeded also will be under scrutiny.

The United States should pursue space exploration with the goal of a Mars mission.

The U.S. needs a bold adventure to attract a new generation to science.

A 38-year holiday tradition Joliet’s Festival of Gnomes still the same, yet ever-evolving IF YOU GO

By DAWN AULET Shaw Media Correspondent

J

OLIET – For the past 38 years, Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park in Joliet has hosted the Festival of the Gnomes. And, for the past 28 years or so, Jan Novotny of Joliet of has taken part in the production.

“And my husband is just a year behind me,” Novotny said. “Our kids and our grandkids have all been in it. It is very much a family tradition and I think that the magic is that it is very close to the same every year.”

This year the 80-minute long Festival of Gnomes is at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Since the show always sells out, a show has been added at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Novotny is one of three directors this year, along with her daughter Lori Carmine of Joliet and Reg McReynolds of Joliet. Unfortunately this year, one person present since the beginning will be noticeably absent.

“A lady known to many as Grandma Gnome will be taking a holiday this year to be with family,” a written release stated.

Grandma Gnome is Billie Limacher of Joliet, who, along with Georgiann Goodson (deceased), began the show in 1976. However, the festival must still be close to Limacher’s heart because Novotny said, “She sends her love to everyone.”

With such a rich and long-standing history with the festival, Novotny knows what goes into the show and what drives Joliet-area residents to come back annually.

For many families, Novotny said, it’s a holiday tradition.

“I think for most people, it’s like the kick off to the Christmas season,” Novotny said. “It is this festive time

RIGHT: Ryan Devine (left) and Paul Darr (right) portray two scared gnome hunters during a recent dress rehearsal for the 38th annual Festival of Gnomes. and it’s so many people come and say, ‘Oh my mother brought me when I was a child and now I am bringing the children.’ ” Certainly, no one could have predicted the Festival of Gnomes’ longevity, Novotny said, although she would not be surprised if Limacher and Goodson had suspected it.

“Maybe they knew the magic,” Novotny said.

Perhaps the most amazing component of the show is that – even after 38 years – it doesn’t show signs of slowing down, Novotny said. This year, the Festival of Gnomes cast is 50 people strong.

And this year, the set-up is slightly different, with an understudy cast for some of the main roles, she added.

“You can go to all three shows and it will be something different every time,” Novotny said.

But the cherished elements audiences expect each year will not change. “[Audience members] know they are going to see the Poor Woodsman, they know they are going to see the Snotgurgle, they know they are going to see the Gnome from Nome and his friend the sea otter,” Novotny said.

Also consistent are the annual traditions that make Festival of Gnomes an experience to live, rather than just a show to watch.

For instance, first-time gnome attendees may purchase a gnome hat – red for boys and green for girls

– that they may bring back each year, said Deanna Opsahl, office assistant. For every subsequent year in attendance, one of the lady gnomes will sew a tassel on the gnome cap for free.

The tassels become more special as the years progress. For an attendee’s 10th anniversary show, the

tassel is a dried moonbeam (a black tassel) with a dried star (rhinestone) attached to it, Opsahl said. The tassel is silver for the 20th anniversary and gold for the 30th, she added.

“Next year, it will be 20 years for me,” Opsahl said.

Novotny said she hadn’t kept up with all the green tassels for her cap.

“But I sure have my gold tassel and my moonbeam tassel,” Novotny said. “My 11-year-old grandson said, ‘Grandma, I have to get my 10-year tassel.’ ” Tickets are $5 for all ages and reservations are recommended, the release said. After curtain, kids and adults can meet the gnomes on stage and visit the gnome gift shop (with 25-cent treasures) and the cookie factory.

It costs just one dollar for a plate full of cookies and 50 cents for a cup of hot cocoa, according to the release.

Attendees also can buy raffle tickets (50 cents each, or three for $1) for one homemade girl gnome doll and one homemade boy gnome doll, the news release said.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Find the right line by counting tricks

CELEBRITY CIPHER

L.M. Boyd, a syndicated columnist, said, “There are 350 varieties of shark, not counting loan and pool.”

In this deal, how would you count to bring home four hearts after West leads the club queen?

When South shows four-plus hearts, North adds two points for his singleton, which makes his hand worth 17 support points. That is a maximum for a three-heart raise. (If you count losers, which I prefer, that North hand has only five: two spades, one heart, one diamond and one club. That makes his hand strong enough for a game raise. But it is close with only 15 highcard points.)

When the dummy comes down, pause, relax, and start by counting losers. Here, you have five: two spades, one diamond and two clubs.

Then move to winners. There are six top tricks: one spade, four hearts and one club. A seventh can come from diamonds. But to get up to 10, you must take seven trump tricks, not four.

That means ruffing three clubs in the dummy. However, you must establish your diamond trick first.

So, win trick one with your club ace and play your diamond to dummy’s queen. East will win with his ace and shift to a trump. What now?

You must be careful with your entries for those club ruffs. Take this trick with your heart ace, ruff a club in the dummy, cash the spade ace and diamond king, then crossruff in the minors.

You take one spade, two hearts, one diamond, one club, two diamond ruffs in your hand and three club ruffs on the board.

Yes, an initial trump lead defeats the contract. But that is tough to find.

on what the “water-containing beverage” is.)

However, if you have leg and ankle swelling, cut back from that number.

But don’t forget about reducing salt: It is more important in reducing swelling than cutting back on fluid.

• Elevate your legs.

Almost regardless of what’s causing your leg and ankle swelling, elevating your legs will help because it offsets the downward tug of gravity.

That tug is keeping water in the blood and in the space between your cells from returning to your heart. (But if you are short of breath at rest, and elevating your legs makes that worse, don’t elevate them -- and talk to your doctor.)

• If you’re pregnant, avoid lying on your back, as that causes the baby and uterus to press down on the veins from your legs, which makes it harder for water in the legs to return to the heart.

• Compression stockings can help reduce leg and ankle swelling, particularly if your swelling is caused by disease of the veins in your legs.

• Diuretic pills (“water pills”) help the kidneys eliminate extra water.

No matter the cause, protect any area affected by edema from pressure, injury and extreme temperatures.

The skin over swollen legs becomes more fragile over time. Cuts, scrapes and burns in areas that have edema take much longer to heal and are more likely to get infected.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE

21

Dear Doctor K: Why are my legs and ankles swollen? What can I do about it?

Dear Reader: In Thursday’s column, I answered the first part of your question.

I explained the different causes of leg and ankle swelling (edema) – some not serious, and others very serious.

Today, I’ll explain what your doctor needs to do to diagnose the cause of the edema, and what you and your doctor can do to reduce the swelling.

Among the serious causes of leg and ankle swelling are diseases of the heart, lungs, liver, kidney and thyroid. If your symptoms and physical examination suggest the possibility of any of these conditions, your doctor will order various diagnostic tests.

• Blood tests can help diagnose heart failure, severe lung disease, kidney disease, low protein levels in the blood and underactive thyroid -- all causes of leg and ankle swelling.

• Urine tests can help diagnose kidney disease.

• A chest X-ray can help diagnose both heart disease and lung disease.

• An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) can also help diagnose heart, lung and kidney disease.

The treatments for leg and ankle swelling depend on the cause. For most causes, you can take several steps that will help greatly: • Reduce your salt intake. Extra salt in your diet tends to hold water inside your body. Particularly if you are diagnosed with heart, lung or kidney disease, avoiding salt is very important -- and entirely in your control.

• Avoid drinking too much fluid. Normally it’s healthy for men to drink 13 cups of water-containing beverages per day, and women 9 cups. (That is, it’s healthy depending

Real Life Adventures

Dear Abby: My husband and I divorced because of another woman. I took it hard, but after a year or so, I was OK. Fast forward to 2013: He shows up on my doorstep, needing food and shelter, so I took him in (he’s still the father of my children). Now I can’t get rid of him!

He’s trying to show me he’s changed. If I didn’t know him, I’d think he wasn’t the same man at all. I need to know if this is an OK situation for me to be in, because well-meaning friends and family tell me he won’t change; he’ll leave again. (I say, “As long as he abides by the terms of the divorce, so what!”)

I don’t care if he sees other people; he’s my EX. As far as I’m concerned, he’s just renting a room in my house.

But I need to know – am I hurting the kids by letting him stay? He seems to get along better with them now than he ever did, and I’d be renting that room to someone else if it wasn’t him. As far as I’m concerned, better the devil you know than the one you don’t.

Am I doing the right thing? And if so, how do I get well-meaning people to stop lecturing me? – Landlady in

California

Dear Landlady: I can’t see how your ex living in the house would hurt the children – unless he suddenly disappears from their lives again. His presence there, even as “only a renter,” may lessen your chances of finding a serious romance again, because few if any men welcome courting a woman under these circumstances.

However, if you are happy with things just as they are, then when the unwelcome lectures start, all you have to do is tell the well-meaning lecturers that you know what you’re doing

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and to please pipe down. The arrangement you have with your ex may work better for both of you than the marriage did because it appears he is always on his best behavior.

Dear Abby: I’m pregnant with my first baby. I use Facebook to update my family in another country about my pregnancy and the little milestones that have happened. But when I do, my cousin “Rita” takes it upon herself to turn every status I post into something about her and her daughter. I feel like she’s trying to one-up me or divert attention away from my child. We come from a big, tight-knit family and until now, her daughter was the baby of the family.

Rita has been doing this for months now, and I’m starting to get annoyed.

How can I tell her politely to please stop stealing my thunder and turning everything into something about her? – Annoyed in the West Dear Annoyed: Whether she’s doing it consciously or not, it does appear that Cousin Rita is competitive with you. It would be interesting to know if she has always been this way.

You can’t stop her from competing, but you can develop a sense of humor where she’s concerned. Her bids for attention are really rather sad, and once your baby arrives, he or she will be the baby of the family – until Rita becomes pregnant again, that is. (I’m tempted to start the countdown now.)

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Stay calm and plan every move in advance when dealing with money matters.

Resist the pleas from anyone asking for a loan or handout. A strict budget will keep you from getting in over your head and allow you to save for something special.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Keep anyone trying to persuade you to do something that goes against your morals or beliefs at arm’s length. Don’t give in to temptation or you will damage your reputation and confidence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Business and pleasure will go hand-in-hand. You will make a favorable impression on your peers with your friendly and relaxed manner. Useful advice will come from an unexpected source.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You will be overtly emotional to remarks or gestures made in your presence. Step away from the situation before a heated discussion breaks out. It’s better to retreat than to have regrets.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Take time to have some fun. Spend the day at a spa, take a hike or listen to music. Time spent alone or with someone you love will ease your jangled nerves.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your earning potential can increase if you are willing to learn new skills. Take a close look at the qualifications you need to land a top position and start the ball rolling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Difficulties while traveling will be aggravating. Keep a level head

during traffic delays or poor weather conditions. It’s best to slow down and let everything around you unfold naturally.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Get out and interact with people who appreciate your attributes and stimulate your senses. Beneficial personal and professional connections will be made if you network. Share what you have to offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You can reduce your stress level if you refuse to let others take advantage of you. Following your intuition will enable you to make the best choice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t be tempted to reveal your personal secrets. Deal with unfinished projects and chores. You will accomplish all you set out to do and still have time left over for

relaxation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – The key to a current situation can be resolved if you discuss your dilemma with someone you trust and respect.

The expertise offered will ensure that you are on the right path.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Decisions regarding your financial future should take top priority.

Make a list of everything you already have in place and set realistic goals to achieve your desired outcome.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Deception is evident. Someone will keep important information from you. Don’t believe everything that you are told or shown. Get the facts firsthand and you won’t make a costly mistake.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Be receptive to information offered to you and quickly incorporate what is usable into your everyday routine. Observation and listening will help you glean the most important details of any enterprise, allowing you to advance steadily.

Experience will give you valuable problem-solving skills.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You are a crusader and unlikely to stand by while others are mistreated. Your concern and helpfulness will be recognized and honored by your peers, friends and family.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Your romantic or family situation is undergoing change. Personal issues can be solved if you have a heart-to-heart talk with those concerned. Compromise will be

possible as long as everyone contributes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Stick to your own agenda. Helpful friends may offer unsolicited advice regarding your personal or professional life. Follow your instincts. You are the best judge of what is good for you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your heightened intuition will keep you on top of any situation. Your attention to detail and ability to see the whole picture will win approval from your superiors.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t allow others to overlook or stifle your abilities. Be an active participant both inside and outside the workplace.

Your outstanding ideas will be wasted if you don’t speak up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t be too

self-critical. Improvements and changes need time to develop. Be patient, and your hard work will pay off. Stick to simple plans with realistic goals, and success will be yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep an eye on your spending habits. Trying to impress or outdo your neighbors will backfire, as an unexpected expense will leave you strapped for cash.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Someone will misinterpret your attentiveness. Don’t lead anyone on. If you are not experiencing the same depth of feeling, you are best to be blunt about your intentions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You have a lot to offer.

Get involved in an organization or agency that provides help to the underprivileged. A casual

meeting will have a profound effect on your future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Problems with a partner or loved one will surface. Keep a handle on your temper. If you are not careful in what you say, your words may be used against you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You are craving companionship and mental stimulation. Get together with friends who inspire you. Take part in unusual cultural activities that bring insight into different lifestyles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Do your best to finalize a pending situation. Put all your cards on the table and be firm about what you expect in return. Real estate or investment deals are looking good.
