Lincoln-Way plans to question auditor at next district meeting D-210 board member raises concerns about auditing firm

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – A longtime auditor who worked with Lincoln-Way High School District 210 is scheduled to appear at the next board meeting to field questions from district officials in light of several questions about past financial practices.

Board member Christopher McFadden made several financial recommendations at Thursday’s board meeting, including changing the school district’s auditing firm, which has been Mulcahy, Pauritsch, Salvador & Co. since at least 1998, according to annual financial reports filed with the state.

He also wanted an independent audit of expenses, and in a written memo to the board stated Lincoln-Way should “consider legal action against [MPS] if our attorneys find grounds for doing so.”

Board President Kevin Molloy said Edward McCormick, an audit supervisor for Lincoln-Way since at least 1998, will take questions from the board at the Sept. 24 meeting at North High School. He said McCormick will appear before the board because of questions raised at Wednesday’s budget hearing about the previous school administration’s financial practices.

An MPS staff member said Friday that McCormick was out of the office until Monday, and an email sent to him

was not returned.

McFadden said Friday that he had several concerns with MPS. Under basic auditing practices, firms are switched every five to seven years, and he wondered why MPS stayed with Lincoln-Way for so long.

He also is concerned as to why MPS never questioned a practice where district officials used transportation funds to pay for nontransportation expenses. Another was the lack of red flags from MPS when Lincoln-Way filed balanced budgets that nevertheless contained deficits of several million dollars.

“When this happens repeatedly, the auditor should be telling the board, ‘Hey, you should be looking at your budgeting practices,’ ” McFadden said.

He stated in his Tuesday memo to the board that MPS was criticized by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago in a case where the auditors appealed a determination by the Internal Revenue Service regarding their tax liability.

McFadden also recommended in the memo Lincoln-Way perform a forensic audit of all funds from fiscal 2011 through 2014 or this year to restore public confidence.

He said he raised these issues this past week because he previously was focused on the issue of a school closing and now wants to focus on financial practices.

The issue of why the Lincoln-Way board passed balanced budgets that contained

“We approved what was put in front of us by that auditor and that auditor can attest there was nothing illegal or unethical.”

Kevin Molloy District 210 school board president

deficits was raised at Wednesday’s budget hearing. Board member Christine Glatz – who’s held office since 1993 – said those budgets were passed based on information given to the board.

She said former school administration’s accounting practices were “not very strong.” A follow-up interview with Glatz could not immediately be set up Friday.

Molloy said he was disappointed Glatz spoke at the hearing about an issue besides the fiscal 2016 budget. He said she was speaking for herself and not the rest of the board.

He also said in his discussions with district officials, it was evident that former Superintendent Lawrence Wyllie prepared his own budgets between 2011 and 2013, and possibly since he first began as superintendent in 1989.

But Wyllie did nothing illegal or unethical, he said.

Molloy said when McCormick visits the board at the next meeting, he likely will attest to the same.

“We approved what was put in front of us by that auditor and that auditor can attest there was nothing illegal or unethical,” Molloy said.

Final approval to demolish Des Plaines Gardens given

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com

What’s next?

JOLIET – The Housing Authority of Joliet has received final approval to demolish most of the 1950s-era Des Plaines Gardens housing complex.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development previously gave preliminary approval, which was announced last week. Final approval means HAJ can begin issuing notices to residents and hold meetings on relocation plans, said HAJ Chief Executive Officer Michael Simelton.

That should begin next week, he said Friday.

“Everything is clear for us now,” Simelton said. “We have a series of meetings we have to have with the residents. We definitely have to give the 180day prior notice.”

Simelton said he learned of the final HUD approval late Thursday afternoon.

Des Plaines Gardens residents will be given Section 8 vouchers to move elsewhere, as had been done previously when HAJ demolished Poole Gardens and created the Liberty Meadow Estates subdivision.

Des Plaines Gardens will be replaced partially by a project called Water’s Edge, which will consist of 68 single-family and town home units in the same area along Des Plaines Street.

Another 54 homes would be built at Liberty Meadow Estates, which is at Briggs and Rosalind streets.

Demolition could begin by December but should start no later than spring 2016, Simelton said. HAJ plans to begin construction on Water’s Edge by May with the project expected to take 18 months, he said.

The Joliet clinic is expected to provide health care to about 94,000 low-income patients, VNA said in a news release.

VNA is a federally qualified Health Center. Such operations

receive federal grants and reimbursements in exchange for providing health care to underserved populations.

VNA was established in 1918 and formerly was named the Visiting Nurses Association.

dens will be demolished; HAJ plans to demolish 122 of the 162 units at the complex.

The 40 units that will be left standing include 28 used for senior housing in an area known as The Quads and 12 adjacent family units that were renovated about 10 years ago, Simelton said.

Simelton said the Des Plaines Gardens project was built in the 1950s. Water’s Edge would have fewer units per acre in addition to providing more modern housing. The plan has been well-received by city officials.

“I think it’s a positive thing for the neighborhood,” said Councilman Terry Morris, whose District Five includes the area.

Morris said he has not heard any complaints from Des Plaines Gardens residents, and people are looking forward to newer homes with bigger rooms.

Senior Services’ line of credit debt cut in half under new director

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

Line of credit

In January, the center had to cut its Meals on Wheels program, which delivered meals to about 600 seniors throughout Will County, to four days a week, instead of five. It also asked employees to take furlough days.

At the time, former Executive Director Patricia Hensley said the situation would become dire if the center didn’t find a way to pay its $400,000 line of credit soon.

While expenses remained the same, state payments lagged far behind, creating a major cash flow problem.

JHN

OLIET – Don Kaczmar heard about the Senior Services Center of Will County through a friend five years ago as a helpful source of information.

For Kaczmar, it was the social scene that piqued his interest. Today he can be seen at the center chatting up other seniors while creating paintings he sells. It has become an integral part of his life – so he was concerned when he heard earlier this year about the center’s financial troubles.

“I was worried constantly,” Kaczmar said. “The number of people working here was shrinking. And it was running out of money.”

In January, rumors swirled about some of the center’s programs, including the stability of the Meals on Wheels program. The issue turned out to be a maxedout line of credit of $400,000, reaching a peak of $596,000 last fall.

Since then, new Executive Director Barry Kolanowski has reshuffled the center’s operations and personnel to pay down that line of credit and get the center back to good financial standing.

COVER STORY FINANCES IMPROVING QUICKLY

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Evelyn Gates (center) laughs as she talks and crochets with a group of women Thursday at the Senior Services Center of Will County in Joliet.

Hensley said the state owed $400,000 to $500,000 in payments to the center at the time, falling about 90 days behind for most of its programs and months behind on the center’s Meals on Wheels and elder abuse prevention programs. The center at that time received no funding from Will County or the city of Joliet, and little funding from other municipalities. State and federal grants amounted to 82 percent of the center’s revenue.

The center pursued multiple avenues to find revenue.

It asked several Will County municipalities for funding, and received $1,000 from Joliet. It also started a GoFundMe account to raise money.

But as of Friday afternoon, it

Treasurer Duffy Blackburn said at that time.

On April 1, the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging, which provides federal grants to the center, took over the center’s Meals on Wheels program, allowing the center to gain some financial footing.

Two months after the financial issues came to light, Hensley resigned. The center’s Board of Directors asked for her resignation, board

Three weeks later, the board hired Kolanowski to take Hensley’s place, citing his experience working with nonprofit organizations and businesses. He also was a minister, experience which he said helps him identify with people.

Since he took over, Kolanowski said the center’s line

of credit has been reduced to $196,000, noting that the debt had reached $596,000 last fall.

“And we’ve got money in the bank,” he said.

Kolanowski said this was possible due to the shifting of responsibilities and positions in the center.

“I saw the problem, or disconnect, was more about the number of staff and the process,” Kolanowski said.

“We have a great staff.”

Other changes include a new insurance provider that offers better benefits at lower rates and installing LED lighting throughout the center, Kolanowski said.

Business sense

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

When asked about Kolanowski, many seniors and staff at the center commented on his business-oriented focus.

“It’s a new focus,” said Lavera Claiborn, who has worked at the center in various capacities since 1968.

“Barry is very open to ideas.

He has made structural and personnel changes to bring it in line.”

Kaczmar said he noticed several changes since Kolanowski took over.

“Barry took over and he is a businessman,” Kaczmar said. “It has changed 100 percent since I joined.”

Kaczmar also noticed Kolanowski often comes down to greet seniors and staff.

“That’s different,” he said.

Looking forward, Kolanowski said he wants to form programs that help seniors hire services such as an electrician at lower, discounted rates. He has hired Gina

Joliet Junior College remembers Sept. 11

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Cook County Homeland Security official recalled Friday how the terrorist attacks Sept. 11, 2001, left him shocked.

Tom Hardin, operations chief for the department, said his wife called him that day 14 years ago to tell him a plane crashed into one of the two World Trade Center buildings.

He had just kissed her goodbye and was walking to work.

He met with a local police and fire chief, and watched on TV as the additional attacks unfolded.

“We looked at the gravity of the situation, and it punched us in the face when that second plane hit,” Hardin said to a crowd at Joliet Junior College during a Sept. 11 tribute held Friday. “They actually turned to each other and said, ‘What do we do now?’ ” Even though the terrorist attack shocked the nation to the core, he said families and

Joliet Junior College held a tribute Friday to remember the almost 3,000 people who died after four airplanes were hijacked by al-Qaida terrorists.

Two planes crashed into the North and South World Trade Center towers. A third plane crashed into the Pentagon, and a fourth crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after passengers staged a revolt against the hijackers.

The JJC ceremony invited participation from local police and fire departments. JJC Fine Arts Professor Phil Spen-

JJC Police Chief Pete Comanda wanted the audience to remember not only the civilians who lost their lives but also the first responders who sacrificed theirs, as well as those who serve in the military.

“Today, when police officers throughout the nation are under intense verbal and physical attack, I would ask you that you continue to keep all of them as

well as our service men and women in your prayers,” he said.

He also wanted to remember slain Fox Lake Police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz and Harris County Deputy Darren Goforth from Texas. Both were killed recently.

Homegrown terrorism

Hardin said in a presentation after the Sept. 11 tribute ceremony that terrorists are

looking for “quicker, cheaper” avenues for attacks, such as inspiring U.S. citizens to commit widespread attacks.

One case he cited was Adel Daoud, a suburban Chicago resident who faces terrorism charges for allegedly trying to set off a bomb in 2012 at a downtown Chicago bar. Hardin said Daoud – who was radicalized “thanks to the Internet” – prayed his attack in Chicago would be successful.

“Adel Daoud’s prayers were not answered that evening, and the arrest of Daoud was the culmination of a rigorous undercover operation,” he said.

Law enforcement agencies try to counteract homegrown terrorism with a “whole community, all hazards” approach by partnering with businesses, nonprofit agencies, the community and first responders, he said.

“We know that building bridges now, they’re strengthening the very fabric of our society, that which our safety relies on,” Hardin said.

State’s attorney general, Will County push JJC trustees will interview for groundwater monitoring at quarry sites candidate finalists this week

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The state’s top legal official is standing with Will County in its fight to require groundwater monitoring at quarry landfills statewide where permitted construction debris is dumped.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan on Wednesday filed a petition for review to the First District Illinois Appellate Court asking that the courts review the Illinois Pollution Control Board’s Aug. 6 decision not to promulgate regulations requiring groundwater monitoring at retired, unlined quarry fill sites.

The AG office’s filing coincides with the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office filing a similar request Thursday in the Third District Illinois Appellate Court.

Local officials want groundwater monitoring to be a requirement to ensure quarry

landfill facility operators are following regulations for acceptable materials – such as uncontaminated soil, asphalt pavement and concrete.

Dean Olson, who heads up Will County’s Resource Recovery and Energy Division, said the dumped materials could pose risk for groundwater contamination at the county’s active sites.

The rules enacted in 2012 by the IPCB allow the disposal of so called “clean” construction and demolition debris in Will County and other state quarries while setting ground rules for the type of materials can end up there. But it doesn’t require groundwater monitoring.

Fewer loads of soil are ending up in the unlined quarry fill sites now, Olson said, which means monitoring is essential to ensure it doesn’t lead to damaging groundwater contamination at the county’s nine active sites.

Many residents and businesses rely on groundwater for their drinking water, he said.

And the new laws don’t negate the state’s years-long allowance of dumping contaminated soil into the county’s quarries.

Marie Tipsord, hearing officer for rule-making on the topic, said Friday her office has not seen the petitions for review and could not provide comment.

Tipsord previously said the state board looked extensively into groundwater monitoring in 2013 before issuing a 67-page opinion on the matter.

Olson said the Attorney General’s Office has been “involved since day one.”

“Our focus has been and continues to be protecting the quality of drinking water,” Annie Thompson, Madigan’s spokeswoman, said in an email. “The best way to do that is to mandate groundwater monitoring on the front end.”

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees plan to interview 18 applicants this week and fill two vacant board seats in October.

Board trustees spent time Thursday in a special meeting narrowing down about 50 applications to fewer than 20 finalists. Of those, two will be chosen to fill seats of former board Chairwoman Tina Markley and Trustee Barb Adams, both of whom unexpectedly resigned.

Markley criticized other board trustees before leaving, while Adams gave no explanation.

“We discussed a lot, and we’re going to interview 18 people next Tuesday and Thursday,” Board Chairman Robert Wunderlich said.

This past Tuesday, trustees unanimously approved former trustee Daniel O’Con-

nell to fill the seat of former Board Chairman Jeff May, who resigned in July for health reasons.

Special meetings have been scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday. Trustees plan to interview candidates in closed session.

Wunderlich said anyone who applied and wasn’t picked still is eligible for Markley’s and Adams’ seats.

He said there are some candidates from the first round of applicants who are among the 18 who will be interviewed.

Many candidates come from towns in Will and Grundy counties, according to applications obtained by a Freedom of Information Act request sent by Shaw Media to JCC. Among those who applied include former Channahon Village President Joe Cook and Lincoln-Way High School District 210 board member

By LAUREN LEONE-CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Revenue at Harrah’s Casino in Joliet dropped by nearly 14 percent in August, signifying the largest year-to-year drop statewide.

Harrah’s Casino brought in $15.4 million in August, down 13.7 percent from the $17.8 million in August 2014, according to the latest figures from the Illinois Gaming Board.

At Hollywood’s Casino in Joliet, revenue dropped by about 2.8 percent. The casino brought in $11.2 million in August, down from $11.5 million in August 2014.

Harrah’s Casino also saw the largest decline in revenue in July, with a decrease of about 6.9 percent. Hollywood’s Casino, on the other hand, experienced a 9.8 percent increase in July.

In terms of revenue statewide, Harrah’s in Joliet came in second place for the month of August, but remains far be-

hind Des Plaines’ Rivers Casino’s $32.8 million. The Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin, in third place, appears to be closing in on Harrah’s, raking in nearly $15 million in August after seeing revenue increases over the past two months.

Although it’s typically the biggest moneymaker as the state’s newest casino, Des Plaines Rivers Casino brought in 7.7 percent less revenue in August compared to the same time last year.

In all, the state’s 10 casinos brought in a collective $118.5 million in August, down about 7.3 percent from August 2014.

About 1.1 million visited the casinos in August, with admissions down about 7.7 percent compared to August 2014.

Admissions at Hollywood’s Casino stood at 97,663 last month, representing a 0.7 percent decrease from 98,375 in August 2014. Harrah’s Casino saw about 132,994 people, representing a 11.1 percent dip from 149,451 compared to the previous August.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said the city of Morris has been relatively unaffected.

There still is one purchasing office located in Morris, which meets the standards presented by the Illinois Department of Revenue’s new five-part test.

Companies must meet at least three of the five criteria to be considered a legal business headquarters. The criteria look at how many employees work at each office, where corporate offices are located and where inventory is housed, among other factors.

MORRIS – Grundy County and the village of Channahon are moving forward after point of sale taxes cease to exist.

Channahon, Morris and other municipalities throughout the state were sued by the Regional Transit Authority for using what was at the time a legal taxing strategy that allowed companies to open small purchasing offices within areas with lower taxing rates then Chicago or Cook County. The RTA had alleged there were more than a dozen such offices in Grundy County, with Channahon alone home to at least 16 such companies.

Channahon Village Administrator Tom Durkin said he can’t speak about ongoing litigation, but did say the village has seen a decline in revenues that were geared toward capital projects.

“None of the sales tax collected was used for general operating expenses. The village was more conservative with their approach to the revenue,” Durkin said. “The money was used for capital projects, the loss means we don’t go ahead with those projects.”

It was previously reported that the village lost about $1.5 million in revenue when the Illinois Department of Revenue became involved in rewriting the state’s sales tax sourcing laws in November 2013 when the Illinois Supreme Court ruled the

Illinois’ laws were essentially unconstitutional. The state Legislature’s Joint Committee of Administrative Rules adopted the revenue department’s proposed rewrite of the law on June 17, 2014.

Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor said the loss to the county is between $1.6 million and $2 million, causing concern as it tries to move forward.

Unlike Channahon, the revenue from the taxes was used in the general fund, causing cut budgets throughout county departments to address the shortfall.

“How we are going to address it is what we are working on right now,” Pryor said. “It is the source of our budget concerns today.”

Pryor said there was increased revenue from other sources in the 2015 budget which offset some of the loss but in the 2016 budget it all needs to be addressed.

“It’s a work in progress,” he said.

The RTA’s goal was to stop companies from creating small satellite offices that were located outside the agency’s boundaries where the businesses did their purchasing. The RTA accused businesses of doing in order to take advantage of the lower sales tax rates.

Most Grundy County municipalities have a sales tax rate of 6.25 percent, one of the lowest in the state. Chicago’s is 9.25 percent. Channahon and Morris also agreed to rebate as much as

Special Connections receives AT&T award

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Special Connections of Grundy County was presented Friday morning with a $2,000 check from AT&T to help continue providing services to people with disabilities.

The mission of Special Connections of Grundy County, according to its website, specialconnections.org, is to connect people with disabilities to their community through social interactions, education, recreational opportunities and shared information. The organization promotes an environment of inclusion, self-determination and knowledge.

The AT&T “Investing in Illinois Awards” provide resources and recognition to organizations and programs that improve lives in their communities and the state, AT&T external affairs manager Jeff Adducci said at the presentation. They advance education, economic growth, new technologies and other essential community services, he added.

“There are great nonprofit organizations improving lives in Illinois,” Adducci said. “By supporting these organizations, we’re strengthening the

communities we serve.”

State Rep. John Anthony, R-Plainfield, nominated Special Connections of Grundy County.

Anthony said Special Connections board president and founder Jennifer Price was one of the first people he met in his role as a state representative.

When he saw the work Special Connections does, he decided that if he could find a way to help, he would.

“It’s a lot of work with a short budget,” Anthony said.

“Especially with the budget situation in Springfield.”

Anthony said when contacted by AT&T about the program, he and his staff looked at each other and said “Special Connections” immediately.

Price said Anthony has been great supporter from the beginning.

“We greatly appreciate his support and this donation from AT&T helps a great deal with our mission,” Price said.

The money will go into the nonprofit’s general fund and go toward programs and activities throughout the year.

She said Special Connections is placing an increased focus on finding different needs and helping young people with disabilities.

14 Lockport police: Aurora Men found guilty of cigarette smuggling

man had sex with teen

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – A 25-yearold Aurora man has been arrested after authorities said he had sex with a 14-year-old girl.

Lockport Police Sgt. Ron Huff said Stanley J. Kinnunen and the victim met online in late June and began exchanging messages before meeting in person Tuesday.

“The victim’s older sister

discovered the communication in her computer history and contacted the suspect’s family, who did call police,” Huff said.

Kinnunen, of the 700 block Stanley J. of Teasel Lane, Kinnunen was arrested and booked Thursday into the Will County Jail on a charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Two Chicago men were found guilty Thursday of smuggling cigarettes over state lines.

Ellis M. Cowart, 71, and Horace C. Mackey, 65, had more than 4,000 packs of cigarettes with Missouri tax stamps in their vehicle when they were pulled over Oct. 25, 2013, by state police in Will County.

“Because of the high price of cigarettes in Chicago, it was

their desire to give people in their neighborhood some relief from the onerous taxes imposed by Cook County and the city of Chicago,” Judge Edward Burmila said, who heard the case as a bench trial. “[But] the court cannot take into account the human aspect of this case, but instead must rely only on the law,” the judge said.

Cowart and Mackey were found guilty of possession of contraband cigarettes and transportation of contraband cigarettes. They face up to five

years in prison, but could receive probation. Burmila found Mackey not guilty of driving with a suspended license.

Defense attorney Cosmo Tedone said his clients may have some misdemeanor charges from decades ago, but neither has a significant criminal history.

“A bigger concern would be a fine the Attorney General’s Office may seek to impose, which at $25 a pack, would be over $100,000,” Tedone said.

Cowart and Mackey will be sentenced Oct. 8.

QUICK NEWS collision on state Route 52 at Grove Road in rural Kendall County claimed the life of one motorist Friday morning, according to Illinois State Police.

Police said they were withholding the name of the victim pending notification of family members.

The crash involved a 2015 Nissan Altima, a 2015 Kenworth truck tractor with a tanker-trailer and a 2000 Toyota Camry, police said.

According to the results of a preliminary police investigation, the driver of the Nissan Altima, which was traveling south on Grove Road, failed to yield to the truck, which was traveling west on Route 52 through the Grove Road intersection.

The truck struck the Nissan, which then rolled on its side causing fuel to leak from the tanker onto the roadway, police said.

JOLIET – Longtime Will County Circuit Clerk Pam McGuire was one of the first wouldbe candidates in line earlier this month to pick up petitions at the county clerk’s office needed to run for office in 2016 – but the 61-year-old incumbent announced Thursday she won’t seek a fifth-term.

“It’s been bittersweet, kind of tossing and turning it back and forth,” McGuire said. “And I just decided it’s time.” Pamela J. McGuire said McGuire this decision was not made lightly, noting she will miss her staff and others. “[My staff] is just an awesome group of people. They are hard-working. I could not have done anything without them,” McGuire said.

When McGuire steps down in 2016, she’ll leave with a $93,116 salary. It’s certainly not a modest salary, but it’s one of the lowest for circuit clerks compared to collar counties in the Chicago area.

McGuire asked the Will County Board in April to consider a mid-term raise, noting her last raise was given in 2007 despite the county’s growing population. Although mid-term raises for elected officials are allowed, county board members denied the request.

Her salary is lower in comparison to circuit clerks in

neighboring McHenry, Lake and DuPage counties, where the position earns $104,750, $119,326, and $155,959 annually, according to county documents.

McGuire said Friday the lack of a pay raise did not lead to her stepping down at end of her fourth term.

“Would a raise have been nice? Absolutely. But that didn’t really play into it. Do I think, with the responsibilities that go with this office, that the salary should be more in line with the collar counties based on population? Yes,” she said. “It’s a stressful job. I get threatening letters [and phone calls.] I don’t think the people that set the salary take that into consideration or know that.”

In addition to other duties, the circuit clerk’s office is charged with maintaining all records of traffic, civil and criminal cases in Will County.

McGuire is leaving open the possibility of running for another elected office, but that’s not a decision she wants to make right now.

“If something presents itself to me and the timing is right, I would probably do that. Right now, I want to get in the private sector. I have too much energy to just be sitting at home now,” McGuire said.

She’s tapped longtime staff member Andrea Lynn Chasteen for the Democratic nomination.

Marlene Carlson, a Republican who lost to McGuire during the last election, has plans to toss her hat in the ring.

Comics, art expo slated for Joliet later this month If you go

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Some of the same people involved in the city’s popular “Star Wars” Day have organized a comic book and fantasy art expo for Sept. 26 and 27.

The Heroes Comic Book & Fantasy Art Expo will be at the Joliet Area Historical Museum at 204 N. Ottawa St. in downtown Joliet.

The expo combines a comic book convention with opportunities for young people to dabble in fantasy art along with games for children.

“We have a lot of activities with children that involve them in the creation of art,” said event organizer Roger Burns.

Burns, a youth librarian for the Joliet Public Library, is a main organizer for the library’s Star Wars Day, which attracts thousands to downtown Joliet each June. He and Jody McQuarters, a Joliet resident and costumer with the 501st Legion Star Wars costuming club, have formed a business called Legend Conventions to create events.

The Heroes Comic Book & Fantasy Art Expo is their first effort.

Graham Crackers Comics, which has 10 stores including one in Plainfield, is participating in the Heroes Comic Book & Fantasy Art Expo. The store also is a vendor at Star Wars Day and will bring comics to the expo.

“I’m going to bring some really old comics, some in-between and some

WHAT: Heroes Comic Book & Fantasy Art Expo WHEN: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 26 and noon to 5 p.m. Sept. 27 WHERE: Joliet Area Historical Museum, 204 N. Ottawa St., Joliet COST: $6 for ages 13 and older; $2 for children new,” said Josh Green, manager of the Plainfield store.

Burns said the Joliet expo will distinguish itself from other comic book conventions by creating opportunities to meet artists and learn from them.

Artists work stations will be set up.

About 30 artists, including some who have worked with DC Comics and Marvel Comics, will be at the expo, Burns said.

“Kids can sit for a while and draw,” he said. “They can feel what it is like to be at an artist’s work station and draw.”

The Chicago International School of Comics will do presentations that include the history and creation of comics. Michael Publishing out of Naperville will bring a collection of original and limited edition comics for display.

“A lot of these have never been displayed before publicly,” Burns said.

The event will include food and games, including a scavenger hunt in the museum.

Illinois lawmaker seeks to restore death penalty

SPRINGFIELD – A lawmaker from southwestern Illinois is pushing to restore the death penalty in certain cases, including when police officers are killed.

Alton Democratic state Senator Bill Haine said he plans to file a bill in the coming legislative session that would bring back capital punishment after it was formally abolished in 2011.

No inmates have been executed in Illinois since former Republican Governor George Ryan commuted the death sentences of all death row prisoners in 2000.

Haine was the top prosecutor in Madison County for 14 years before he joined the state Senate.

He introduced similar legislation several years ago.

The lawmaker cited the recent shooting death of Fox Lake Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz and the Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting in which nine worshipers were killed.

Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle leaves the federal courthouse in Indianapolis, following a hearing on Aug. 19 on child pornography charges. Fogle agreed to plead guilty to allegations he paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography in a case that destroyed his career at the sandwich-shop chain.

Subway: Review finds ‘serious’ complaint about Jared Fogle The ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS – The Subway restaurant chain said it received a “serious” complaint about Jared Fogle when he was the company’s spokesman, but that the complaint did not imply any criminal sexual activity.

The company issued a statement Friday saying it has completed an internal investigation into whether it was alerted to concerns about Fogle, who agreed last month to plead guilty to having paid for sex acts with girls as young as 16 and having received child pornography.

The company has severed its ties to him.

Subway’s investigation included a review of more than a million online comments and interviews with past and present employees and managers of the company and an advertising fund, the statement said.

Subway spokeswoman Kristen McMahon said the

company received the “serious” complaint in 2011 from Rochelle Herman-Walrond, a former journalist from Florida who revealed publicly to WWSB-TV in Sarasota last month that she also took her concerns to the FBI and secretly recorded her phone conversations with Fogle for more than four years to assist the agency’s investigation.

McMahon said the 2011 complaint “expressed concerns about Mr. Fogle,” but included “nothing that implied anything about sexual behavior or criminal activity involving Mr. Fogle.” She declined to elaborate on the nature of the complaint.

Nevertheless, the company said in its statement it regrets the complaint was “not properly escalated or acted upon.”

“It is important to note that the investigation found no further evidence of any other complaints of any kind regarding Mr. Fogle that were submitted to or shared with SUBWAY,” the company said.

Neither Herman-Walrond nor Fogle’s lawyers responded to phone message left Friday night seeking comment.

Herman-Walrond told WWSB-TV in July she first spoke to Fogle about 10 years ago during one of his many trips to the Sarasota area for events like the American Heart Association Walk. She said Fogle often made surprising and inappropriate remarks when the spoke, including that he thought “middle school girls were hot.”

Authorities in Indiana, where Fogle lives, would not say whether Herman-Walrond was part of their investigation into him.

But Fogle’s plea agreement mentions that witnesses in Florida, Georgia and Washington state provided recordings and information it said show Fogle “repeatedly discussed with them his interest in engaging in commercial sex acts with minors or stated that he has done so in the past.”

An Environmental Protection Agency contractor keeps a bag of lime on hand Aug. 14 to correct the PH of mine wastewater flowing into a series of sediment retention ponds, part of danger mitigation in the aftermath of the blowout at the site of the Gold King Mine, outside Silverton, Colo. any work,” Stanislaus said of the work suspensions. Some the mines were abandoned decades ago and have grown more unstable over time, raising the risk of an accident.

The stop-work order was issued last month, but officials for weeks refused to disclose specifics.

Cleanup efforts on some of the mines have been going on for years yet remain unfinished, underscoring the complexity of a long-running

attempt to address an estimated 500,000 abandoned mines across the U.S. Work on others was in the early stages.

In a report to Congress delivered Friday, the Government Accountability Office said federal agencies identified thousands of contaminated mine sites in recent years – even as their attempts to assess what harm is being done to people and the environment have lagged.

Further investigations

were needed to gauge the danger posed by the 10 mining complexes under the suspension before work could safely resume, according to internal EPA documents released by the agency.

That includes categorizing their level of hazard. For those deemed a “probable hazard,” the EPA plans to keep the work stoppage in place until emergency plans are drawn up to deal with any accident.

The agency also wants to

Missouri mom charged after kids found living in crate, cave

By BILL DRAPER The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A 24-year-old mother is in custody Saturday after her two young children were found barefoot, dirty and living in a wooden shipping crate in an underground cave on the eastern edge of Kansas City, Missouri.

Brittany Mugrauer was charged Friday night with two counts of felony child endangerment.

Jackson County detectives discovered the 4- and 6-yearold children Thursday in the 8-by-10-foot crate furnished with vehicle bench seats, two

small blankets, trash and thin wires.

According to the probable cause statement, the crate was missing one side and surrounded by car parts and vehicles in various states of disrepair.

The investigators, who went to the cave to serve a search warrant related to a possible stolen car operation, not- Brittany ed the children Musgrauer did not appear frightened by them or that they were alone.

The 4-year-old child was

eating from a dirty, dry cup of ramen noodles with his hands, a detective wrote.

When asked why they weren’t wearing any shoes, the children said they didn’t have any. The older child told officers he should be in first grade but did not go to school.

The children were taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital where they were evaluated, bathed and given clean clothes.

Mugrauer told investigators her children had been living in the cave for several days and acknowledged leaving them there alone, the probable cause statement said.

She was taken into custody

Friday afternoon and has not yet appeared in court.

A spokesman for the Jackson County prosecutor’s office said Saturday he didn’t think Mugrauer has an attorney.

The extensive network of caves is the product of massive limestone mining in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Years after the mining operations ceased, companies started finding ways to use the millions of square feet of abandoned underground space.

The caves house hundreds of businesses, many of which specialize in storage or warehousing because they are protected from extreme weather

and have year-round temperatures of around 70 degrees.

The officers were down there investigating a possible chop shop, where stolen vehicles are dismantled so the parts can be sold or used to repair other stolen vehicles.

Many of the caves feature paved roads, utilities and developed business space, while others, such as the one where the children were found, consist of dirt floors and uncontrolled entrances.

A spokesman for the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office declined to provide additional details about conditions inside the cave or the health of the children.

BILLINGS, Mont. – Site investigations and some cleanup work at 10 polluted mining complexes in four states were suspended because of conditions similar to those that led to a massive wastewater blowout from an inactive Colorado gold mine, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials said.

The sites include three in California, four in Colorado, two in Montana and one in Missouri, according to details obtained by The Associated Press following repeated requests for the information.

They have the potential for contaminated water to build up inside mine workings, EPA Assistant Administrator Mathy Stanislaus said. That would set the stage for a possible spill such as last month’s near Silverton, Colorado, where an EPA team triggered a 3 million gallon blowout of toxic sludge while doing excavation work on the inactive Gold King Mine.

The accident fouled rivers in three states and attracted harsh criticism of the EPA for not being prepared despite previous warnings that such a spill could happen.

“We want to take extra caution before we initiate

get the results of an Interior Department investigation into the Colorado accident before proceeding on most of the other sites. That’s expected in late October, department officials said.

Before the Aug. 5 Gold King spill, the EPA and its contractor, Environmental Restoration LLC of St. Louis, appeared to have only a cursory emergency response plan in the event of a spill, according to documents released under public records requests.

There was no cellphone coverage at the remote site in the San Juan Mountains, and the workers did not have a satellite phone, according to EPA documents. As a result, they had no way to immediately communicate with the outside world when the rust-colored water loaded with heavy metals, including lead and arsenic, began rushing toward downstream communities.

One of the sites where cleanup work was subsequently halted was the Standard Mine in the mountains above Crested Butte, a ski town in west-central Colorado. Crested Butte Mayor Aaron Huckstep said after work was suspended, the EPA met with residents and officials and made sure cleanup workers could communicate directly with the town in an emergency.

Current, former JJC employees have applied for board spots • TRUSTEES

Continued from page 6 Christopher McFadden. He previously served on the Frankfort School District 157C school board.

“I have tremendous respect for JJC and the work of its faculty and staff. My mother – the first in her family to attend college – earned more than 45 credits from JJC before obtaining undergraduate and graduate degrees elsewhere,” he stated in his letter of intent.

Several current and former JJC employees have applied for a spot on the board.

They include Alicia Morales, who was a JJC financial aid adviser from 1997 to 2001; Ronald Wojcik, a current adjunct professor; and Donna Theimer, a former horticulture professor and department chairwoman.

Former Trustee Susan Klen, as well as Diane Harris and Michael Venegas – all who ran in the April 7 elections and lost – also applied. Former Trustee Barbara Newberg put in her application as well.

Builder’s model offers all the best in Minooka

MCM Builders crafted this new home in the Westwind community in Minooka to offer a unique blend of Old World charm, modern technology and all the options included.

For example, it is an “Energy Star” home with “new wool” superior insulation and sound-deadening technology in the laundry room and bathrooms.

And all those “little things” some builders pile on as options are included, such as granite countertops, hardwood flooring and 42-inch maple kitchen cabinets, and 8-foot insulated garage doors with openers on a spacious 4-car garage. Others include “details” like basement window well covers, a concrete driveway, a bathroom rough-in in the basement, and central air conditioning.

It is all done with style, crafted ceiling designs, and milled woodwork that takes the “boxy” edge off room decor and adds a touch of elegance. One example is the stunning oak staircase, which switches back to a secondfloor balcony.

The kitchen is huge, offering a work island, closet pantry, appliances and eating area in its 15-by-23 square feet. Likewise, a monstrous 20-by-16-foot family room offers plenty of entertainment space, and the full unfinished basement can be tailored for the family as needed.

Private spaces include a spacious master bedroom suite and three other sizable bedrooms, all on the second floor with the convenience of a second-floor laundry.

As a bonus, this builder’s closeout model comes with a check for $10,000 after closing from Minooka for buying new construction.

MCM also offers duplexes in The Woods of Aux Sable Community of Channahon, with three bedrooms, two baths, and two-car garages for $166,900.

Check your numbers on high-deductible plans Dear Mr. Berko: What will it cost my healthy son and his wife if they don’t buy a high-deductible health plan, which would be a waste of money? High-deductible plans are a joke. They’re great for the insurers because patients pay for everything except catastrophic occurrences. A $4,000 annual premium with a $4,000 deductible for each would be worthless. They each would have to spend $8,000 before any coverage would kick in. High-deductible plans enrich the insurance industry while hurting the patient. – BC, Punta Gorda, Fla. Dear BC: Is this a question

or a complaint?

This insurance stuff is terribly complicated, and your lad’s numbers don’t make sense to me. He must counsel with an insurance professional for the straight skinny.

But the tables are turning to patients’ advantage, and medical costs could fall significantly in the coming decade.

If your son and his wife were not to buy health in-

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko surance, the penalty would be either 2 percent of their annual income above $20,300, which is about the cost of Obamacare’s bronze plan, or $650 for the year, whichever is higher. The maximum penalty per family is $975.

How ducky! Therefore, many families are buying high-deductible health care plans, or HDPs, which only cover catastrophic illnesses, for $50 to $70 a month. So $4,000 a year sounds out of line.

Because HDPs are enormously cheaper than the plans of yesteryear, 38 million Americans have signed up, and 86 percent of employers now offer HDPs, compared with 38 percent in 2012. HDPs are becoming increasingly popular, and this trend will continue as Obamacare’s 40 percent tax on “Cadillac plans” takes effect. As millions of Americans move into

HDPs, health care spending will change the way patients deal with doctors, hospitals, rehab centers, medical equipment supply companies, imaging centers, etc. And there will be significant changes in how the medical community relates to patients.

In a typical year, HDP consumers pay almost all of their health care expenses – the costs for X-rays, fixing a broken finger, stitching a cut, treating a concussion, bloodwork, physicians’ exams et al. Because the consumers are spending their own money, they’ll shop prices for CT scans, EKGs, day surgeries, heart stents, colonoscopies, etc. Previously, these services were paid by insurers, so patients didn’t give a fig about costs, believing they were spending the insurance companies’ money.

In a few years, doctors will have to earn patients’ business based on their personalities, cost, service quality, office waiting time (it’s about time) and outcomes. Hospitals will practice becoming

Shorewood resident honored by Northwestern Mutual as intern The HERALD–NEWS SHOREWOOD – Loyola University senior and Shorewood resident Kody Troyner is being honored by Northwestern Mutual with the company’s Top Financial Representative Intern Award.

Troyner, a finance and financial services management major, is being honored as an outstanding performer helping clients achieve financial security. Troyner is one of 10 interns throughout the country receiving this distinguished award.

consumer-friendly, and their faked-up billing systems may become transparent and provide legitimate, understandable billing data. This is what American businesses do daily to attract and keep customers.

Last year, U.S. health care spending totaled $3.8 trillion, and about 14 percent, or $530 billion (Americans only spend more on food, shelter and transportation), was plucked from patients’ pockets. That amount is expected to double in three years. Imagine the changes in our health care system when patients’ out-ofpocket spending exceeds $1 trillion.

Fortunately, forward-thinking, innovative companies have recognized this trend and are making changes in health care delivery. Consider the many independent walk-in clinics opening in neighborhood strip shopping centers and the retail clinics in CVS and Walgreens stores. Then there are new firms, such as HealthSpot and Teladoc (TDOC-$21), providing telehealth services

via mobile devices and the Internet. Your smartphone can record your vital signs, analyze urine and blood samples, check your insulin levels, send photos of a rash to your doc, and perform numerous health tasks that your doctor, in his past life, coded on his submission forms to insurers and Medicare. A company called TalkSession gives patients immediate access to mental health treatments via cellphone or landline phone.

Another, Twine Health, places patients at the forefront of their collaborative care. Twine Health uses synchronized apps, allowing patients to seamlessly manage their care and build self-efficacy. The list is long and portends radical changes to our delivery system, so in the next decade, consumers may gain the power to lower health care costs.

The state of Illinois needs a two-year budget The state of Illinois is now three months into a new fiscal year, without a fiscal budget. As a result the state will spend at least $6 billion more than it brings in.

Illinois will essentially have operated under four different budgets in the span of two years – the fiscal 2015 budget, the 2015 “fix” budget, the court-ordered current 2016 budget, and at some point hopefully the governor will sign a real 2016 budget for the remainder of this fiscal year.

No financial institution or business can thrive without long-term planning, and the state of Illinois has not con-

GUEST VIEW Mark Batinick and Jack Franks sidered this fact in decades.

Illinois is on the financial brink; it is on a path to utter financial ruin and economic devastation for our people.

We call for the General Assembly to enact a twoyear budget so we can end the political cycle of reactive emergency measures.

Joining biennially budgeting neighboring states like Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska, which all have sound economic standings, could provide much needed stability to everyone who works with and for the state.

Agencies, third-party service providers, and universities can more confidently plan their year.

A two-year budget would also take the 2016 election out of the budget.

The current budget process is terribly tainted by politics. Doing a two-year plan would help put policy before politics.

Last year’s budget that

was passed in May 2014 (an election year) was flawed.

Cuts, reforms, or tax increases were necessary to get it truly balanced.

Because of the election the political will did not exist to choose any, or all of those options. This year has been no better. In fact, it’s even worse.

With a longer term plan in place, elected officials will be able to shift our attention to pension reform, property tax relief and some of the further-out issues the state is facing – like our jobs climate, the out-migration of our youth, and curbing the violence in our streets.

Our idea will allow the General Assembly to work on the important issues facing our state instead of being bogged down in an endless political struggle.

Winning institutions enact long-term plans. Illinois must do so if we are ever to get out of the fiscal death spiral we are engulfed in.

OUR VIEW

Revive lost political art of compromise “The Civil War,” documentarian Ken Burns’ 25-year-old masterpiece, returned this week for an anniversary encore showing on PBS. It is fitting that the Public Broadcasting Service chose to air the ground-breaking documentary during the 150th anniversary of the conflict’s end. The first episode, which aired Monday, included an interview with the late historian and author Shelby Foote, who commented on what started a war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.

“It was because we failed to do the thing we really have a genius for, which is compromise,” Foote said.

He added, “Our whole government’s founded on it [compromise]. And it failed.”

Compromise (noun): An agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions, according to the dictionary definition.

In 2015, we have many disputes over what government should do to solve national and state problems.

President Barack Obama and leaders of Congress disagree on almost everything. Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Illinois General Assembly leadership aren’t much better. Their intransigence has done our gridlocked state and nation little good.

Elected leaders swore to serve the public to the best of their abilities. Somewhere along the way, they must have learned the art of compromise.

It’s time to revive that skill, meet each other toward the middle, reach important agreements, and move forward.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Robert W. De Young Joliet

Thankful for a helping hand

To the Editor: Chivalry lives. As I was walking out of a local Wal-Mart, I noticed a small red car stopped with a man, women and a child.

I was getting closer to my car, a young African-American man jumped out of his car.

As he came closer, I thought in my mind he had car trouble and needed help – which I would have obliged him, because my battery is in my trunk. As he came closer, he said, “Do you need help carrying your groceries? It’s very hot out.”

I was so grateful. Although I was next to my car and didn’t need his help, I would like to thank this young man for being so thoughtful and courteous.

There are good people out there.

Thank you again, young man.

Election District Amendment

To the Editor: The concept is very idealistic and nebulous using words like: A fair map – produced by a diverse and independent panel, in broad daylight – will protect the interests of all voters, not just those of whichever party happens to be in power.

The panel would be required to respect boundaries of social, racial and geographic communities, instead of sorting voters into predictable Republican or Democratic districts. By keeping those communities intact, the maps would enable smaller groups of like-minded voters to form coalitions and elect representatives of their choice. (Chicago Tribune) Well, that’s fine, like saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or I’ll know it when I see it.

Can it be quantified mathematically? One mathematical test would be to compare the circumference of the district with the area to prevent weirdly shaped gerrymandered districts. A useful formula would be (circumference/4)2.

The circumference divided by 4 squared.

This should be equal the area of the district if it was square shaped.

In a weirdly shaped district the formula would give a number much larger than the actual area. So you be the judge in how much weirdness allowed.

The weirdness or divergence area from calculated from the formula needs to be expressed as a percentage or multiple compared to a perfectly square district.

Sincerely, Thomas Cechner Lockport

Consider St. Jude Parish

To the Editor: As Catholics begin returning to churches across America, reinvigorated by the efforts and message of Pope Francis, anyone living in the southwest suburbs should consider St. Jude Parish in New Lenox.

When moving back to the Chicago area five years ago, I believe we were blessed to find St. Jude, where my family and I have the opportunity to listen to the best priest I have ever heard speak at Mass.

Father Bill Sullivan’s positive and encouraging demeanor, combined with his great knowledge of the Bible and ability to educate his parishioners by providing the history and context of each reading and Gospel story, helps lift some of the mystery of our faith. He is such a great gift to all in the parish, carrying on the true Apostolic tradition and inspiring his flock.

Later, it became clear that the pastor at St. Jude, Father Don Lewandowski, is the key to this unique church. Father Don is a hard-working pastor intent on making St. Jude a great parish. I believe he has accomplished that completely based on the humble church, education and assistance programs, along with his efforts to make the parishioners experience at St. Jude uplifting and inspirational. He has made me appreciate just how difficult it is to lead a parish, while still devoting himself to his duties on the altar.

Father Homero Sanchez is another great gift to the parish. This young priest’s wonderful spirit and energy fills the church at Mass each Sunday. His passion for Catholicism and Christianity is evident. In only a few years, he is already having a positive impact on the lives of many in the pews.

Another aspect that makes St. Jude a special church is the musical director, Tom Labanauskus, a talented musician and singer whose vocals pierce straight through to the soul, filling the church with the most beautiful melodies carrying words of spiritual inspiration.

Tom also directs the church choir, a heaven-sent group of friendly men and women who belt out each song with professionalism, their voices arranged so perfectly, while an equally talented orchestra of trumpets, strings and drums accompany Tom on piano or organ.

Words cannot suffice to share the experience of attending St. Jude so I created a video, which can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVb_n5QsykY. Hopefully for those

Catholics who have left the Church or non-Catholics who have been considering joining, this will help them take that first step into the pews of St. Jude.

Global problems

To the Editor: More than 60 million migrants on the move, leaving their homelands, trying to survive in a world that does not value them and is erecting barriers against their movement. One of them illuminated the reason for their rootlessness when he articulated “There is no work in Africa.”

The problem is global and the international elites who are responsible for this catastrophe are demanding that the world’s poor pay for their mistakes.

Ruling elites in the U.S. and Europe are instituting austerity measures that include eviscerating the safety net, cutting pensions, destroying unions and privatizing state assets.

Shamelessly protecting their own wealth while asking sacrifice from the poor, the working class, and the middle class. In Illinois, as in Greece, the unjust policies of austerity are being implemented.

Millions of people are fleeing hunger, war, drought, water deprivation, militarism, resource competition, and climate change. The “Truck of Shame” is the macabre symbol of the increasing inequality that is convulsing the globe.

Seventy-one migrants were trapped in a sealed refrigerator truck in Austria, left on the side of the road to die by human traffickers.

One can only imagine the exhausting struggle to get out and then the fear and resignation that took over as the oxygen diminished. Asphyxiation killed the children and the old first and then the others succumbed. Agonized, convulsed bodies gave way to the quiet silence of death.

World opinion will be shocked for a brief period and then the ruling elites and the world’s statesmen will resume the same old geopolitical games.

Structural political economic changes that would result in a more equitable distribution of wealth will be ignored unless pressure from below demands that a fair, just global model be created.

Humankind can not continue to allow the few to expropriate the world’s bounty for themselves.

To the Editor: I find Michael Madigan’s Guest View in the Aug. 16 edition of The Herald-News just a little self-serving. Michael should look himself in a mirror if he is honest and wants to fix Springfield. Michael and his hand-picked cohorts have been in charge for over 30 years, getting the state of Illinois in the mess it finds itself today.

His first look in the mirror experience should be to submit a balanced budget, not one that’s $4 billion in the red. When Michael looks again in the mirror, he should stop pretending to be for the poor, freezing pay to legislators, for schools, etc.

How can Mr. Madigan defend anything when the state of Illinois and Chicago is just about last in every category compared to the other 50 states?

The voters in Illinois elected a new governor, in the hope to bring change to Springfield.

It’s time again for Mr. Madigan to look himself in the mirror and realize that he lost the last election and that he is the big problem.

ban could save consumers an estimated $5.8 billion in energy costs each year as well.

The government would get an additional $13.5 billion in revenue to repair our roads and improve our schools.

The export ban may have been enacted to protect our domestic energy supply during the 1970s oil crisis, but today the law functions more like an economic sanction and undermines our country’s ability to function competitively in the international energy market.

It is time for Congress to support new jobs, boost our economy, repair our roads and improve our schools by lifting the crude oil ban.

MINOOKA 46, ROMEOVILLE 0

‘D’ sets tone in Minooka win over Romeoville

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – It didn’t take long Friday night for Minooka’s defense to make its presence known.

On the first play from scrimmage, Romeoville’s Jordan Nettles attempted a running play into the teeth of the Indians’ defense. He was stopped for no gain by Blake Parzych, and the ball came loose. Minooka’s Kris Ledesma recovered the fumble, giving the Indians the ball at the Romeoville 30.

It was the first of four turnovers forced by the Minooka defense as the Indians opened Southwest Prairie Conference play with a 46-0 victory to move to 3-0 overall. Minooka also got fumble recoveries

by Logan O’Brien and Jose Rodriguez as well as an interception by Jonny Butler. The Indians held Romeoville to 102 rushing yards and just 17 through the air.

“Our defense did a good job tonight and set the tone early by forcing the fumble,” Minooka coach Paul Forsythe said. “We played well at all three levels of the defense.

The defensive line was very good, the linebackers flew to the ball and the secondary did a great job in coverage.”

The Minooka secondary allowed Romeoville quarterback Anthony Kitchens to complete only two of his 19 pass attempts, and Butler’s interception and subsequent return to the Spartans’ fiveyard line set up an Indians touchdown.

After Ledesma’s initial fumble recovery, the Indians got an 18-yard run by Josh Garcia, and a facemask penalty gave Minooka first-andgoal from the nine-yard line.

There, the Romeoville defense stiffened and didn’t allow the Indians to score.

On second down for Romeoville, Parzych batted down a pass, the first of his two J.J. Watt-type swats of the game. Kitchens picked up a bad snap on a punt attempt and ran for a first down, but the Minooka defense eventually forced a punt, taking over at midfield.

On fourth-and-2 from the 42, Romeoville was whistled for encroachment, giving Minooka a first down. Three plays later, quarterback John Carnagio hit Mike Malinowski with a four-yard touchdown pass for a 6-0 lead. Carnagio finished 16 of 20 through the air for 160 yards and three touchdowns.

The next Minooka drive belonged to Jaccor Blakney.

The senior running back carried five times for 45 yards, including a six-yard score.

He finished with 95 yards and two TDs on 13 attempts.

Malinowski added 86 rushing yards on 12 carries, while C.J. Moody had 43 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.

Drew Turek scored from three yards out on his only rushing attempt as well.

“The offensive line [Austin Stock, David Newman, Austin Sims, Derek Wentworth and Noah Perez] did a nice job,” Forsythe said. “They were firPhotos by John Patsch For Shaw Media ing off the ball real well.”

Minooka’s Carson Oughton and Logan O’Brien stop Romeoville’s Jordan Nettles.

Late in the first half, Carnagio hit Quintin Durov on a Area football slant on fourth-and-4. Durov spun off a Romeoville defendscoreboard er at the 20 and sprinted into the end zone for a 32-yard Lincoln-Way East 35, touchdown and a 19-0 MinooJoliet West 12 ka lead at intermission.

LINCOLN-WAY EAST 35, JOLIET WEST 12

• Sunday, September 13, 2015

JOLIET – Brandon Bauer and Ben Christensen were quick to give all of the credit to their teammates for the big plays they came up with for Lincoln-Way East in its SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division opener at Joliet West on Friday.

While the two seniors’ display of humility was impressive, it also was obvious the pair deserved plenty of credit for helping the Griffins capture a 35-12 victory over the Tigers at Klootwyk Field.

Bauer rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and connected on 18 of 28 passes for 212 yards and a score.

“I have to give the O-line credit,” Bauer said of the group featuring left tackle Kurt Gavin, left guard Sammy Diehl, center Doug Barkauski, right guards Mike Lemmons and Nick Ronza and right tackle Tyler Lentz. “I don’t know how long I had in the pocket at times.

“Hunter Smith and I have been best friends for awhile, and he’s so tall, so I can trust him with everything. And with our other receivers, with Jeremy Nelson going down with an injury, we’ve got guys who are stepping in and making plays. This was a great win for us against a good Joliet West team. This was a really good first game in conference for us.”

Meanwhile, Christensen recorded three sacks, including one to halt a long drive at the start of the second quarter.

“We wanted to start out strong and set the tone, make no mental mistakes and get out and play good physical defense,” Christensen said. “My first sack was due to all of the other 10 guys on the field; I was just the lucky one that got my name called. It was all them.

“It’s big that we know that we can bear down. There was a real big goal-line situation and we didn’t want to let up a score and we were able to stop them.

Since Week 1, we’ve responded well. The practice intensity has changed, and everything is just a notch higher.”

The Griffins (2-1, 1-0) scored

Lincoln-Way East quarterback (7) Brandon Bauer celebrates with his teammates after scoring a touchdown Friday during the first half against Joliet West in Joliet. twice in the initial 5:57 to grab a 14-0 lead and recorded six tackles for losses on West’s first two series.

Bauer scored from 3 yards out on a keeper 2:27 into the contest, and Liam Morrissey ran in from 4 yards out to give East the early 14-point lead.

The Tigers (2-1, 0-1) had a 15-play drive that reached East’s 5 but it ended when Christensen sacked Alex Tibble on the first play of the second quarter. East took a 21-0 lead after Morrissey scored on a 3-yard run with 3:30 left in the opening half.

“We were a little bit disappointed after Week 1, but we knew that we had an opportunity tonight against a quality opponent to find out a lot more about ourselves,” East coach Rob Zvonar said. “Coach (Jason) Aubry has one of his better groups, so it was kind of fun to come out here and, for the mos part, control the game.

“Overall, it was a very positive performance. Each phase

of the game had some great moments. It was great first conference game for us to come over here and win, since this has been a tough place for us to play. Our kids responded and did some nice things.”

West finally scored with 7:24 remaining in the third quarter when Tibble (18 of 32 passing, 194 yards) threw a 34-yard pass to Xavier Smith (13 catches, 138 yards) to make it 21-6.

But East responded with a touchdown with 3:19 left in the third when Bauer tossed a six-yard pass to Hunter Smith.

The Griffins scored again with 3:39 remaining when Nigel Muhammad ran down the right side for 58 yards.

Both sides got interceptions to stop opponent drives deep in their territory. Marcus Blackmon got a pick for West late in the second quarter, and East’s Peyton Nigro returned the favor early in the final period.

“We have to be able to finish that long drive, and if we do, it’s a one-score game and a different game,” West coach

Jason Aubry said. “But East is a very, very solid team.

“We’ve played better, and I just don’t think that we played our best football tonight. I think that we’re a better football team than what we showed tonight. The schedule doesn’t get easier, so we’ve got to get better.”

LINCOLN-WAY WEST 28, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 0

Montalvo, L-Way W. handle L-Way C.

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Mike Uremovich played high school football at Providence and was the head coach at University of St. Francis for seven years.

He knows a little something about the football played in the Joliet area, and the talent that comes from this area.

Now, he is the offensive line coach at North Carolina State, where Lincoln-Way West senior right tackle Justin Witt has committed. “[Uremovich] actually started recruiting me at the end of my freshman year,” Witt said. “I love the guy.”

Uremovich is likely to return the love when he sees how Witt and his cohorts in the West offensive line – left tackle Nate Henry, left guard Brett Bergman, center Jason Lucinski and right guard Bryan Brokop (who will play at Nebraska) – took care of business in Friday night’s 28-0 SouthWest Suburban Red victory over Lincoln-Way Central.

The primary beneficiary of the escort service was senior running back Gabe Montalvo, who rushed for 233 yards in 19 carries. He scored on runs of 1, 4 and 49 yards and also ripped off gallops of 60, 40, 16, 13, 11 and 10 yards.

“We were very good tonight,” Witt said of the offensive line. “I don’t think they [Knights] had any idea what they were messing with.”

“Our line was really blocking well,” Montalvo said.

“Passing, running, we could have done anything.”

Montalvo’s four-yard TD run in the third quarter gave West (3-0, 1-0) a 21-0 lead. His 49-yarder late in the third quarter for the final points came on a third-and-29 draw play. When he got into the secondary, he juked the final Central defender and turned on the jets.

“I guess I learned [the juke move] from my brother [Javier, who also was a standout running back for the Warriors],” Montalvo said.

Lincoln-Way West’s Gabe Montalvo looks upfield for some running room Friday against Lincoln-Way Central. West defeated Central, 28-0. er Dylan McHale hooked up on a 43-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to conclude a two-play scoring drive after Montalvo had run 16 yards on the first play. Lowman finished 6 of 13 for 88 yards and was intercepted once, by Eric Ramos. McHale grabbed three passes for 79 yards.

“We gave up some big plays,” Central coach Jeremy Cordell said. “And the thing is, we had guys in the right places. We made solid calls.

One thing is, we gave up too many yards after contact.”

Montalvo has that effect on a defense.

Still, it was far from a perfect offensive game for West, which failed to score after Montalvo’s 60-yard run set up a first-and-goal at the Central 7 late in the first quarter.

“I was pleased with our effort,” Warriors coach Dave Ernst said. “We fought and played hard. But we made a lot of mistakes on offense.

“Of course, some of that was their defense. Their inside linebacker, No. 50, [Jake]

Lincoln-Way Central quarterback Austin Strilko looks downfield to pass against Lincoln-Way West.

Dudeck, is one of the best linebackers we will see all year.

He does some great things.”

Dudeck led the Knights with five tackles and two assists and linebacker Blake Evans had five stops, one for loss.

Central (1-2, 0-1) moved the ball at times, with quarterback Austin Strilko completing 16 of 30 passes for 112 yards and Nolan Hayes catching seven for 46 yards. However, the Knights had the long field

most of the night and were unable to sustain their drives against a West defense orchestrated by coordinator Luke Lokanc and led by Trey Telez.

“One thing that hurt them was being without No. 5 [running back Dan Eber],” Ernst said. “He is a playmaker on bubble screens and that sort of thing, and I understand he got hurt in practice late in the week.”

Telez, a linebacker by

trade, spent most of the night with his hand on the ground at defensive end and finished with eight tackles, three assists, a sack and 2½ tackles for loss.

“I was so excited for this game,” Telez said. “We came out and smacked them. I felt good playing at defensive end.

Sometimes it’s a little better for me coming off the edge.”

West linebacker Jake Price contributed seven tackles plus an assist, safety Josh Bohne six tackles and two assists and defensive lineman Dan Wainwright 1½ sacks.

Other key contributors to the shutout included linemen Cortez Michalski and Keaton McCahill, linebackers Devin Reed and Danny Allen and defensive backs Cody Conry, Matt Murphy and Cameron Gavin.

“We definitely did not sustain drives against their defense,” Cordell said. “We had opportunities,and we didn’t execute.”

West won the sophomore game, 23-20.

LOCKPORT 41, JOLIET CENTRAL 0

Kelley leads Porters past Steelmen

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Central coach Brett Boyter will not forget the uniform number of Lockport defensive tackle Ryan Kelley anytime soon.

“That No. 93 – in the first half, he was just killing us,” Boyter said Saturday afternoon after the Porters opened the SouthWest Suburban Blue portion of the schedule with a 41-0 victory over the Steelmen.

“Up front, that’s where games are won, and they were better there on most plays.”

Playing only the first half, Kelley recorded four sacks, forced a fumble that teammate Ryan Perry recovered, was in two other tackles for loss and combined with linebacker Brandon Wilson to stuff Malek Harden on fourth-and-goal from the 1 to help preserve the shutout.

And, yes, he did demonstrate why defensive linemen generally do not handle the ball. He dropped a potential interception with nothing but green turf ahead. The almost-pick came compliments of the vicious rush of linebacker Gabe Lammers, who chipped in two sacks and was in on a tackle for loss.

“I dropped one last week, too,” Kelley lamented.

Kelley said he played nose tackle the last two weeks.

“This week I moved over,” he said. “They were pulling their guards, and I was jumping in behind them. That helped me get into the backfield.”

Earlier, Lockport (1-2, 1-0) suffered two tight losses, both of which the Porters feel should have been victories. Winless Central (0-3, 0-1), meanwhile, has the dubious honor of traveling to Homewood-Flossmoor to meet the state’s top-ranked team Friday.

“It doesn’t get any easier next week,” Boyter said. “That will be a heck of a challenge.

But our guys will look forward to preparing for them. I know we will have a great week of practice.”

Despite what the score showed, Boyter felt the Steelmen did some things better than they have been.

Joliet Central’s Zach Wisneski is brought down by Lockport’s Ryan Kelley during the first half Saturday at Joliet. Kelley’s work included four sacks, a forced fumble that a teammate recovered and two other tackles for a loss.

Lockport’s Matt Skobel finds his way through the Joliet Central defense to score his third touchdown in the first half Saturday at Joliet.

“Lockport dominated the line of scrimmage for most of the game,” he said. “But I liked some things we did. The way we were playing was better. Had we gotten touchdowns those couple times we missed by a couple inches, that might have changed the complexion a little.”

Lockport’s goal-line stand

occurred in the second quarter. Central’s Kamren Smith, who caught nine passes for 117 yards and was in on more than a handful of tackles, returned a kickoff 45 yards to the Porters’ 44. The Steelmen were facing fourth-and-10 at the 31 when quarterback Zach Wisneski (18 of 39 for 223 yards)

hit Allen Smith deep over the middle for 29 yards, setting up first-and-goal at the 2.

But two incompletions and two running plays that netted 1 yard ended the threat.

Then in the second half, Wisneski and Kamren Smith collaborated on a 43-yard pass for a first down at the Lockport 15. But on fourth down from the 13, Wisneski barely overled Camaron Harvey in the end zone as the ball glanced off his fingertips.

“I wish it wasn’t Week 3, but it is good to get a win,” Lockport coach Dan Starkey said. “Our line is coming along on both sides of the ball. It was nice to see the shutout. I’m proud of the way we stuffed the run.”

Central netted minus-37 rushing yards as Wisneski, for all the sacks he took, was at a net of minus-64. The Porters’ defensive front of ends Pat Kozyra and Josh Baker and tackles Kelley and Andrew

Castaneda (who had a sack), along with linebackers Lammers, Wilson and Mo Atiq, was that dominant.

On the other side of the ball, the only negative for Lockport was losing Roman Starkey, who started in the offensive line, to a knee injury early on.

Kozyra filled in for him, and the rest of the unit – George Kringas, Matt Chmielewski, Quinn Polaski and Ethan Maurella – also enjoyed a big day.

Matt Skobel turned nine rushes into 109 yards and three touchdowns. Deiondre Taylor rushed for 78 and a touchdown in seven carries and caught three passes for 32. Ben Davis completed 11 of 18 passes for 125 yards. Sheldon Snapp ran for a score and Davis threw a TD pass to Patrick Cooper.

Lockport finished with 276 rushing yards and 401 total.

“We want to stop the run and run the ball ourselves,” Starkey said. “We were able to do that.”

JOLIET – Joliet Catholic quarterback Cade Earl and running back Michael Johnson did not look like teammates who were happy they had helped the Hilltoppers beat Carmel 41-21 Friday night in the East Suburban Catholic Conference opener.

Instead, the two seniors were concerned about senior running back Harry Davis, who was carried off the field in the second quarter with an injury to his right ankle. He did not return.

“We’re a family, and when one man gets hurt, we all hurt,” Johnson said. “We knew [after he was injured] that we had to go all out for Harry. When Harry got hurt, it lit a fire under us.”

Davis scored the first two touchdowns of the game to stake JCA (3-0, 1-0) to a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

He scored on a three-yard run and also caught a six-yard pass from Earl for a touchdown. He rushed for 63 yards on six carries. He was hurt while blocking on a running play.

“He was getting X-rays, and I know he was in a lot of pain,” Hilltoppers coach Dan Sharp said. “He was having a great night. It’s a part of the game that just stinks. Last week with Cade, it worked out. We’re just hoping for the best.”

Sharp was referring to the shoulder injury Earl suffered against Wheaton North that knocked him out of the game in the first half. Earl returned to the starting lineup against Carmel and completed 9 of 14 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns.

“With Harry, our offense is explosive. He is fantastic in the open field and hard to bring down,” Earl said.

Defensive end Luke Mander

led the Hilltoppers’ defensive effort against the Corsairs (0-3, 0-1). Carmel drove inside the JCA 20-yard-line three times in the first half but came up empty.

Mander, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound senior, blocked Matt Hellen’s 35-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter. Mander stopped the Corsairs’ last drive of the first half by stripping quarterback Jeremy Struzel of the ball and falling on it.

“A couple of weeks ago, we actually changed up our field goal blocking scheme,” Mander said. “Ken [Aguirre] and [Tyler] Witt both pulled off the guards, and I just came in free and blocked it.”

JCA linebacker Keaton Coleman recovered another fumble at the Hilltoppers’ 19 to stop another Carmel scoring drive.

“Our defense is tenacious,” Sharp said. “Our guys do a good job with their backs against the wall. That’s a very good and difficult offense to defend. For our guys to hold them down there like that was huge. They did get a lot of yards on us, and that’s a concern, but anytime you play against a Naval Academy-type option offense, it is difficult.”

JCA led, 21-0, at halftime after Johnson scored on a oneyard run with 1:41 to play in the second quarter. The Hilltoppers opened the third quarter with a six-play, 70-yard scoring drive that Johnson finished with a two-yard run. Johnson’s third touchdown run of the game, an 11-yard run with 4:29 to play in the third quarter, gave the Hilltoppers a 34-7 lead.

Bill Rotnicki finished the scoring by grabbing a 48-yard touchdown pass from Earl. Rotnicki caught it at the Carmel 14 and dragged four Corsairs’ defenders into the end zone.

Johnson rushed 21 times for 161 yards. The Hilltoppers rushed for 301 yards total. Carmel rushed for 264.

By KEVIN RYAN Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – To kick off the season, Plainfield Central has shown improvement despite the rough patch the program is going through.

The Wildcats have been winless since late in the 2012 season, but they did not get any pity from visiting Oswego on Friday as the Panthers ran away with a 43-13 Southwest Prairie Conference win.

“That was a real good football team tonight,” Central coach John Jackson said.

“Oswego is going to be really dangerous.”

The Panthers (2-1, 1-0) set the tone as soon as they received the opening kickoff.

Senior quarterback Steven Frank (13 of 23 for 168 yards) got the offense started by tar-

geting wide receiver Jumique Phillips (three catches, 33 yards) for a 16-yard touchdown pass on a 10-play drive that took a little over four minutes.

On the two Panther possessions that followed, Frank hit Brice Robinson for a 22yard touchdown and junior Elliot Pipkin (three catches, 45 yards) for an eight-yard touchdown grab to quickly make it 21-0.

“It was typical Steve,” Oswego coach Brian Cooney said. “He can throw it with the best of them. Up front, the offensive line gave him great protection.” “[Frank] is really good,” Jackson said. “He throws a good ball, and he’s a very good athlete. It will be fun watching him play on Saturdays in the future.”

Also reaching the end zone for Oswego were running backs Erik Vargas Jr. (14 carries for 73 yards) on runs of four and three yards, and Chad Marsh on a four-yard run.

The Wildcats were able to get on the board late in the fourth quarter with a 81-yard run by junior running back Lovelle Houston (seven carries for 98 yards), and a twoyard quarterback sneak from junior Marcus Hayes (five rushes for 22 yards).

“We were not ready to play this football game,” Jackson said. “We slid a little tonight, but we’ll get back on track going into next week.”

Central is on the road Friday night as the Wildcats continue SPC play against Romeoville, which also is searching for its first victory of the season.

PLAINFIELD SOUTH 23, PLAINFIELD EAST 0

Plainfield South dominates rival East

By SCOTT EHLING Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – After a pair of 21-6 losses to open the season, Plainfield South coach Ken Bublitz knew that things had to change on both sides of the ball.

Consider that box checked as South built a 16-0 lead at halftime while only yielding 24 total yards of offense Friday night en route to a 23-0 shutout of Plainfield East in the Southwest Prairie Conference opener for both.

South had 269 yards of offense, while the Cougars defense limited Plainfield East to 129 total yards.

“Our defense has been the backbone of our season so far,” South coach Ken Bublitz said. “Defensively, tonight our

kids were tremendous. Great pursuit, our coaches had them well prepared, and for a vast majority of the game they dominated.”

Offensively, the Cougars were led by senior running backs Jake Maher (19 rushes, 105 yards, two touchdowns) and Danny Saracco (18 rushes, 82 yards, TD). Junior linebacker Nick Portz led the South defense and forced a fumble.

Jeremy Reitz led the Bengals with 11 rushes for 50 yards.

“We were flying around the ball at all times,” Portz said of his Cougars’ defense. “We came in here 0-2, and we did not want to let our offense our seniors down.”

After their first two possessions on offense did not produce results, South (1-2,

1-0) took advantage of great field position in East territory.

Maher’s 38-yard run capped a four-play, 49-yard drive that gave the Cougars a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter.

“We spent a lot of time over the last two weeks refining our fundamentals up front to try and find a combination of guys that work together well,” Bublitz said. “Our guys up front took that as a challenge this week, and our backs did a great job at finding the holes and gaps and just moved forward.”

For East (0-3, 0-1), its next offensive possession was forgetful.

After a dropped pass and two rushes for negative yards, the Bengals had to take a safety when the ball was snapped over the punter’s head, which

extended South’s lead to 9-0 with 11:14 remaining until halftime.

South then capitalized on good field position at midfield with less than three minutes left before the half and put together an eight-play drive capped by Saracco’s four-yard TD run that made it 16-0.

“I texted coach telling him earlier the week that I wanted the ball,” Saracco said. “I will continue to run hard and tackle hard and do everything that I can to keep pushing.”

East had early success on its first offensive drive of the second half, but Portz forced Bengals wideout Valentino Rivera to fumble after a catch, and South capitalized. Maher scored on a 13-yard run with 4:12 left in the third quarter to

extend the lead to 23-0 that effectively put the game out of reach.

“We have plenty to clean up moving forward,” Bublitz said. “Our kicking game, lots of penalties, we just have to continue to put ourselves in a position to succeed. Plainfield North is a great football team.

We are going to have to play extremely well next week to have a chance against them.

We are going to celebrate this tonight and get back to work tomorrow.”

“We have gone away from doing some of the little things correctly, and it is also about us learning how to practice to win and play to win,” East coach Mike Romeli said.

South defeated East, 24-14, in the sophomore game.

PLAINFIELD NORTH 28, OSWEGO EAST 9

Defense keys Plainfield North past Oswego East

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield North defense produced four turnovers, including a key interception in the first half, to make a bold statement in the Southwest Prairie opener Friday night against Oswego East.

The Tigers were looking to respond after a disappointing loss to Bishop McNamara and jumped to a 21-0 first-half lead. Plainfield North forced two more second-half turnovers before sealing a 28-9 victory over the Wolves.

“We were in the red zone so many times [against McNamara] and didn’t punch it in,” North head coach Tim Kane said. “It was a terrible feeling, so for our kids to come back and play the way we did, get up early and get some good momentum – they have some pretty good weapons – I was proud of how our defense played, and our offense, too. I thought it was a really good effort on both sides of the ball, and special teams.”

North scored on its third possession when quarterback JD Ekowa connected with Zach Jarosz for a 28-yard score with 1:19 to play in the first quarter.

The Tigers’ next touchdown drive was set up by a 43-yard catch by TJ Kane to the Oswego East 2, which led

to a 1-yard score by Dillon McCarthy.

McCarthy was back in the end zone minutes later when he intercepted Oswego East quarterback Jaylon Banks and ran in from the 28-yard line with 6:31 to play in the first half. Connor Peplow’s third extra-point kick made it 21-0.

Oswego East’s Devin Aguilar got in front of Ekowa’s pass with 4:31 left and the Wolves (2-1, 0-1) converted the turnover into their only touchdown. The eight-play, 72-yard drive ended with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Banks to Stephon Harris. North blocked the extra-point kick for a 21-6 lead.

After a 30-yard Oswego East field goal, North (2-1, 1-0) was driving the ball to start the fourth quarter when Ekowa threw a deep pass to Kevin Block for a 54-yard touchdown with 10:39 left.

Although the Tigers recovered an Oswego East fumble seconds later, the Wolves’ offense was back on the field when Aguilar intercepted Ekowa for a second time Neither team could put together a scoring drive in the final 10 minutes.

“We’ve still got to clean up some things,” Kane said. “We had the darn interceptions and fumbled the ball when we were trying to run the clock out. You can’t do those types of things.”

CHICAGO – Losing junior running back Richie Warfield to a knee injury on his third play Friday night didn’t help Providence Catholic’s cause.

Three turnovers hurt it even more.

A young offensive line that didn’t protect quarterback Jared Drake consistently also was a problem.

Yet, the Celtics held Mount Carmel to a scoreless tie through more than three quarters of Friday night’s Catholic Blue showdown at Gately Stadium.

Then the odds, and Mount Carmel’s penchant for running the ball down an opponent’s throat when it matters, came back to haunt the Celtics. The result was the third loss in succession for Providence, a 13-0 defeat in the conference opener.

The Celtics are off to their poorest start since an 0-4 opening in 2010 led to a 2-7 finish.

“It was kind of tough all night,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said. “We’ve very banged-up and very young, but against a great Mount Carmel team, we were in position to win.”

That position changed with the Caravan’s old-school, 13play drive that produced a 7-0 lead on A.J. Ries’ two-yard plunge with 7:15 to play. Twice, Mount Carmel converted on

third down after having done so only once in the previous nine drives. And Ries’ two-yard gain on a pitch to the right on fourth-and-2 kept the sortie alive. Suddenly, this wasn’t a team that also gave the ball away three times.

The Caravan’s 49-yard march never left the ground and accounted for a majority of the yards they gained in the second half.

On the other side, the Celtics were prevented from getting going by a stern defense.

Warfield reinjured a knee on a one-yard catch in Providence’s first drive and was never seen again. His prognosis is unclear.

Drake, a junior getting his first start, was 13 of 26 for 133 yards but was sacked five times and tackled for losses on two running plays. The Celtics gained only 36 yards on the ground and 169 overall to Mount Carmel’s 176.

On perhaps their best drive, the Celtics moved the ball to the Caravan 23 in 12 plays, but P.J. Kowalkowski’s 39-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right.

The final blow came with 1:34 to play. Drake, who had just scrambled for 22 yards for a first down on third-and-17, fed a pass into the hands of Caravan linebacker Jordan Cousert. He took it 65 yards to the end zone.

The process of picking up the pieces starts with practices leading to the next game, at Marmion Academy on Friday night.

MORRIS 20, DUNDEE-CROWN 2

Morris rides stout defense to victory

By KEVIN MEYER kmeyer@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – For most of Morris’ nonconference football game against DundeeCrown on Friday night, field position and yardage were not easily obtained.

The Redskins (2-1) battled the Chargers and the field for every yard and every score, as they were able to pull away and win, 20-2.

Because of less-than-pre-

mium field conditions, the Redskins’ game planned for a run-heavy offense. Early on, however, neither team could gain much footing and get a drive going. The teams combined for five straight possessions of no first downs to open the game. Both teams had several drives derailed by penalties throughout.

“I think the penalties are what killed us tonight; our first offensive play is a touchdown if we don’t have a huge

holding play,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “We have a young offensive line, including two sophomores that are still learning the game. Getting them comfortable and making some line adjustments helped us.”

The game was still only 6-2 with under a minute left in the second quarter when the Redskins converted on a fourth down deep in Chargers territory. Three plays later, Morris scored to go up, 14-2,

COAL CITY 13, PEOTONE 9

on one of Michael Gerischer’s two touchdown runs and Gerischer’s two-point conversion run. Gerischer led the team with 99 rushing yards on 14 carries. Michael Feeney had 15 rushes for 93 yards, and Keagan Sobol added 42 yards on the ground. Jake Webb scored the other Morris touchdown on a reception from quarterback Nathan Guth.

Despite the slow going on the scoreboard, the game was never truly in doubt because

of the defensive effort by the Redskins. They held DundeeCrown to just 115 yards in the game, and the Chargers rarely saw the Redskins’ side of the field.

“I think we have an excellent defense that will keep us in games. All three games, they have been outstanding,” Thorson said. “Obviously, we will take the win, and that’s something were proud of, but we still have a lot of things to work on.”

SENECA 41, REED-CUSTER 20

Coal City holds off Seneca’s Simon runs wild Peotone in victory in win against Reed-Custer

By LARRY LINDHOLM Shaw Media Correspondent PEOTONE – Competing in the Interstate Eight Large is not good enough for the Peotone football team. The Blue Devils want to start winning consistently.

It came close to happening Friday night, but Coal City managed to hold on and secure a 13-9 victory.

“Our defense was good, but the team and I do not want to compete, we want to start winning in this conference,” Peotone coach Apostolos Tsiamas said. “To do that, we need to start doing the little things consistently and get rid of the mental mistakes.”

Coal City’s Nick Hayden scored from 6 yards out with 20 seconds remaining in the third quarter to erase a 9-7 deficit and give the Coalers (2-1, 1-0) the victory.

“This was a must-win for us in the conference, and the team knew that and would not give in,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said.

Chandler Gartner (14 carries, 117 yards) ran 70 yards to the Coal City 10-yard line on Peotone’s first possession, but the Coalers’ defense stiffened.

“That first play, the long run, was a blown assignment on our part,” Onsen said. “But give Gartner credit. He took advantage of that.”

On its second possession, Peo-

tone (1-2, 0-1) drove to a score, with quarterback Kyle Maupin taking it in on a sneak for a 6-0 lead. Maupin kept the drive alive when he hit Alex Panning with an 8-yard pass on fourth-and-3 from the Coal City 12.

Maupin had passed for nearly 500 yards in the first two games.

But for the night, the Coalers’ defense limited him to 8 of 18 passing for 102 yards with an interception.

Coal City went ahead, 7-6, at halftime as Joe Starkey scored on an eight-yard run, capping a 10play, 63-yard drive that featured 10- and 14-yard passes from Nick Micetich to Brad Littleton and Micetich’s 16 rushing yards. Littleton kicked the extra point.

However, Littleton was ejected early in the third quarter when three personal fouls were assessed against the Coalers on a Peotone drive that ended in a 30yard Scott Gasik field goal, giving the Blue Devils a 9-7 lead.

“Those penalties are very frustrating,” Onsen said. “I will have to take a closer look as we review films and we will work out those penalties.”

Micetich finished 9 of 16 passing for 100 yards and rushed 16 times for 85 yards. “[Micetich] is very gutsy, plays hard and gives it his all,” Onsen said.

The sophomore game ended in a 6-all tie.

By MARK JOHNSON

Shaw Media Correspondent SENECA – The Seneca Fighting Irish won in and with style Friday night, whipping Reed-Custer, 41-20, in their home opener while wearing black jerseys rather than their traditional home green for the first time.

Coach Ted O’Boyle thinks the 399 yards and six touchdowns on the ground that Seneca (2-1, 1-0 in Interstate Eight Large) accumulated are evidence it can be a playoff team even after opening the season with a loss to Dwight.

“Our offense has basically been sputtering for a couple years now,” O’Boyle said. “We’ve gotta get a running game established. I still feel we could’ve thrown the ball if needed tonight, but I’m just happy we got the running game. It just makes everything so much easier in the future, when teams have to respect our run game.”

Each team notched a big scoring play within the opening five minutes. Seneca’s was a 63-yard Hunter Simon run on a third-and-short play. Reed-Custer answered with a 50-yard touchdown scamper by quarterback Tyler Shaw.

Last week [in a 26-6 win at Nokomis], we got a little momentum, and this week, we brought it all together.

Hunter Simon

Seneca football player The score remained 7-all into the second quarter even though the Irish twice drove deep into Comet territory.

They did not fall short on their next two drives, with quarterback Arik Applebee scoring from 14 yards out at the 6:22 mark and from 2 yards out at the 2:09 mark of the second quarter.

Simon’s 18-yard touchdown run capped Seneca’s opening drive of the second half. He added TD rushes of 4 and 33 yards, which offset a pair of Comet touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Simon finished with 162 yards on 15 carries. Casey Pifer ran for 89 on 10 attempts. Bryce Coyle had 79 yards on 11 carries, Applebee 56 on seven carries.

“Last week [in a 26-6 win at Nokomis], we got a little momentum,” Simon said, “and this week, we brought it all together.”

There were some silver linings for Reed-Custer, which lost 44-0 to Coal City and 55-7 to Manteno in the

first two weeks. Shaw, Vince Vercelote and Scott Mitchell each contributed 37 or more yards to the Comets’ 164-yard attack. The Comets sacked Applebee twice and kept the Irish from completing any of their six pass attempts.

“It’s just about getting confidence,” Reed-Custer coach Mark Wolf said. “I told the kids tonight didn’t seem like an improvement, but it was. Give ’em credit – they played the whole game and finished it out and didn’t quit. There’s enough positives to take to the next week that we can build upon.”

While Reed-Custer tries to take steps back to respectability, Seneca will continue its playoff quest this week at Herscher. With Wilmington, Plano and Coal City looming at the end of the season, the margin of error remains very thin for the Irish.

“You gotta get one before you get two, you gotta get two before you get three – we just gotta take that mentality to get to 5-1,” O’Boyle said.

RICHARDS 28, LEMONT 24

Richards hands Lemont its first loss at home since 2013

By DENNIS NELSON Shaw Media Correspondent LEMONT – Lemont did not let a sleeping dog lie in its South Suburban crossover Friday against Richards.

Leading, 14-0, midway through the third quarter, Lemont turned the ball over and gave Richards life.

The Bulldogs went on to score 28 points over the final 1½ quarters to stun the Indians, 28-24.

“We have to do a little better at situational football,” Lemont coach Bret Kooi said after Lemont’s first home loss since 2013.

Anthony Quinn’s two-yard touchdown run with 58 seconds left capped the comeback, giving Richards its second win over Lemont in the last six meetings. Lemont (3-1) had won 10 straight home games but turned the ball over twice in the second half.

“That’s what happens when you do those things,” Kooi said. “We’ve done a good job taking care of the

football up to this point. We didn’t do that tonight.”

Richards’ three touchdown passes covered 27, 76 and 77 yards before the final 70-yard touchdown drive.

Lemont’s final drive ended at its 17.

“We have to be a little smarter in those situations,” Kooi said. “They were down a score, needed a touchdown, and we let somebody get behind us.”

Joseph Kelly’s interception and return to the Richards 17-yard line set up Lemont’s first score. Anthony Martin’s 1-yard run with 8:33 left in the first quarter staked Lemont to a 7-0 lead. Quarterback Spencer Nagel hit Jeremy Fejedelem for a 53-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter.

Brendan Cunningham’s interception came just before the end of the half, securing a 14-0 lead at the intermission. Richards had 12 yards and two first downs in the first half. Lemont, however, turned the ball over twice in the third quarter deep in its territory, giving

Richards short fields.

“We have to take care of the football when the momentum’s on our side,” Kooi said. “Defensively, we have to be a little smarter than that.

We can’t give up big plays like that.

We have to make them earn it.”

The Bulldogs took advantage when Jared Moore caught a 27-yard touchdown pass, cutting the lead to 14-7 with 5:31 left in the third quarter.

Passes to Fejedelem covering 31 and 49 yards each set up short scores. Nagel scored from a yard out and Steve Fleming kicked a 20-yard field goal, giving Lemont a 24-14 lead with 8:36 left. A 77-yard touchdown play by Richards set the stage for the ITS winning drive.

“I told the kids we have to learn from this,” Kooi said. “If we learn from it, there is some type of justification for what happened out there.”

Nagel completed 8 of 17 passes for 189 yards. Jake Kirkman ran 27 times for 122 yards for Lemont.

SANDBURG 38, BOLINGBROOK 20

Sandburg air show downs Bolingbrook

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent

ORLAND PARK – Sandburg quarterback Alec Fidan, along with wide receivers Zak Razik and Avery Verble, put on an air show Friday night in the SouthWest Suburban Blue opener against Bolingbook.

Fidan completed 19 of 28 passes for 285 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Eagles to a 38-20 victory. Razik hauled in 10 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown.

Verble caught 23- and 5-yard TD tosses and finished with five catches for 55 yards.

“Sandburg really worked hard on their passing game in the offseason,” Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow said. “They showed a precision passing attack that we could not stop. Their offensive line kept us off Fidan, and he threw perfect passes to Razik and Verble.”

Bolingbrook senior quarterback Mike Freeze completed 11 of 29 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 73

yards on seven carries and a touchdown.

Sandburg (2-1,1-0) struck first with 4:04 in the first quarter on a 23-yard deflected touchdown pass to Verble. With 1:01 left in the quarter, Freeze electrified the Raiders’ crowd with a 51-yard jaunt to the end zone. The kicked failed and the Raiders trailed, 7-6.

With 9:20 left in the half, Razik hauled in a 10-yard strike from Fidan as the Eagles went up, 14-6.

An interception by Raiders defensive back Tyron Taylor led to Tuf Borland’s 13-yard touchdown reception with a minute left in the half to make it 14-12. The All-American linebacker, who will be playing college football at Ohio State, played at tight end and made a tough reception, wrestling the ball away from the Eagle defender.

“I would gladly trade the touchdown for the win,” Borland said.

“We played poorly, and some of us took Sandburg lightly. We must improve very quickly.”

The Eagles opened a 28-12 lead

in the third quarter. Bolingbrook (1-2, 0-1) wide receiver Eddie Sanchez, caught a swing pass from Freeze and raced 31 yards into the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter. Lucas Warren went in for the two-point conversion, making it a one-possession game at 28-20.

With 3:30 to go, the Raiders had the ball on their 20 when Freeze was hit hard by the Sandburg defense and had to leave the game.

The Raiders turned the ball over on an interception, which led to a Sandburg field goal. On the next possession, the Raiders fumbled and Sandburg’s Mike Murphy returned it for a touchdown.

Raiders junior wide receiver Kendall Smith caught six passes for 64 yards.

“We did not play very well, and we may have to make some changes,” Ivlow added. “This is our team and it is too late to make physical changes. We must improve very quickly, beginning next week against a good Joliet West team.

It is strange to be 1-2 and here at

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ST. FRANCIS 13, LINCOLN (MO.) 10

USF travels, tops D-II foe Lincoln SUBMITTED REPORT JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The University of St. Francis defense held Lincoln (Mo.) to 243 total yards while the offense produced 232 yards on the ground as the Saints defeated the NCAA Division II Blue Tigers, 13-10, in nonconference football action Saturday afternoon at Dwight T. Reed Stadium.

As a result of the first meeting between the two schools, both teams are 1-1 on the season.

The victory was the Saints’ first over a non-NAIA opponent since a 30-27 overtime victory Nov. 5, 2011, at NCAA FCS Georgia State.

USF led, 3-0, after a first half in which the teams combined for only 252 total yards. The Saints forced Lincoln, which amassed 406 yards of total offense in its season opener a week ago, to punt on all seven of its first-half possessions, with no drive covering more than 37 yards.

The Saints got on the board when freshman Grayson Barnette converted a 38-yard field goal with 3:41 left in the first quarter. He attempted a pair of field goals late in the second quarter, but a 34-yard try sailed wide right, and a 37-yarder was blocked.

USF scored on its first two possessions of the second half. On their opening drive, the Saints took the kickoff and traveled 81 yards in six plays, capped by a 20-yard scoring strike from sophomore quarterback Don Butkus to senior wideout Sheldon Magee (Plainfield South). The Saints’ next drive ended with a 25-yard Barnette field goal to give the Saints a 13-0 lead.

Midway through the third quarter, the Blue Tigers were forced to punt for the ninth consecutive drive, but the Saints fumbled the return and Lincoln recovered on the USF 2-yard line.

One play later, Miles Drummond ran in for the touchdown.

Taking possession after the Saints’ third unsuccessful field goal attempt, Lincoln drove from its 25 to the USF 13 before settling for a 30yard Jean Brooks field goal to trim the deficit to 13-10 with 6:59 left. After 11 consecutive running plays on the Saints’ ensuing drive shaved nearly six minutes off the clock, Lincoln took over on downs on its 31-yard line with 0:49 remaining. The Blue Tigers only reached the 42 when time expired.

Junior linebacker Brett Ditchman (Lincoln-Way Central) collected 15 tackles, and junior defensive end Tim Smith had a pair of sacks and three tackles-for-loss to spearhead the USF defensive performance.

Senior running back John Magee (Plainfield South) topped the 100-yard mark for the first time in his career with 105 on 24 carries. En route to his first career win in his second start, Butkus completed 13 of 29 for 144 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. He also rushed for 79 yards on 11 carries. Drummond rushed for 83 yards on 21 attempts.

USF returns home at 4 p.m. Saturday to host Missouri Baptist at ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

Greta Carlberg led the Cougars, placing eighth overall with a time of 19:13. She was followed by Jozelyn Maclas (14th), Lexi Grigg (16th), Daijah Brown ( 17th) and Katie Cole (23rd).

CHANNAHON – History was made as Joliet Central hosted its annual cross country invitational Saturday morning at Community Park.

Senior Raul Rosendo became the first Steelman to win the individual race in the meet’s 22-year history.

Rosendo covered the threemile course in 15 minutes 29 seconds to get the victory by three seconds over Lincoln-Way West junior Evan Mitchell.

“I really wanted to win this race,” Rosendo said. “I felt awesome and was really motivated.

Evan (Mitchell) and I always have fantastic races together, and he really pushed me today.”

Mitchell was happy with his second-place finish and credited Rosendo for pushing the pace up front.

“We always have a great competition between us, and if I’m going to lose a race, I glad it was to Raul,” he said. “He is tough.”

Plainfield South placed second as a team in the boys competition with 70 pints in the 12team race. Oswego won with 50 points, Joliet Central was third (80 points), Joliet West finished sixth, Romeoville eighth and Providence 10th.

“We are still building right now, and it’s early,” South coach Jason Crowe said.

“Overall, I’m pleased, and John Partee (fifth overall) ran a solid race, but we really need to work on getting the gap between our first and fifth runner down around the 30-second range and less than a minute to our seventh runner.”

For the Cougars, Jake Willison placed seventh. Andrew Nunez was 15th, followed by Jon Quinones (21st) and Hunter Dyer (28th).

Central scorers following Rosendo were Vincente Moreno (16th), David Carter (17th), Andre Martinez (20th) and Oscar Tejeda (32nd).

JT’s Carney, Lemont garner titles at Joliet Township Invitational

By CURT HERRON JOLIET – A year ago, Joliet Township girls tennis player Eileen Carney turned in an impressive freshman season.

She followed up on a sectional championship by winning her first two matches at state before falling to the top seed in the next round and ended up posting a 3-2 showing.

After improving upon her game during the offseason and gaining more confidence from her successes, Carney looks forward to even bigger things this fall.

Following her 6-0, 6-0 win over Lemont’s Ashley Belsen in the first singles championship at Saturday’s Joliet Township Invite, Carney feels good about where she’s at now.

“I definitely think that I’ve improved since last year,” Carney said. “I play with a lot of good players, and we improve each other. I think that I’ve gotten stronger in all aspects of my game and improved my confidence. I have the technique and strokes and was physically fit enough to work through matches, but I just wasn’t mentally there.

“I’ve really focused on not putting myself down so much on the court, and that really makes a big difference. All of my friends and I always push each other to be better and play smarter. I just have to keep working hard in order to reach my goals.”

While veteran JT coach Kit Gillman is pleased with the improvement in Carney’s game, he also knows the expectation level has been raised and the pressure will be greater this year than when she was a freshman.

“She’s stronger this year than she was last year, and she seems to be more dedicated,” Gillman said.

“She’s kind of started to settle in as a player, and we’re both getting used to each other’s style. She’s been good at making adjustments and is real good to work with.

“She has a chance to do better at state than she did last year since she was real nervous. But it also gets harder for her to win the sec-

tional as she gets older because younger kids will try to beat her.

She had nothing to lose last year, and there wasn’t as much pressure.”

In the team competition, Lemont easily captured top honors with 37 points while Joliet Catholic and Minooka tied for second with 28 points. Ottawa took fourth with 26 points, and Plainfield Central edged JT, 21-20, for fifth place.

Lemont coach Chris Hill was a little concerned about how his squad would perform since it hadn’t played much lately because of the weather. But following a slow start, the Indians finished strong to win two titles, claiming two second-place showings and a thirdplace effort.

For Lemont, Anna Ford beat JCA’s Michelle Robert, 7-5, 6-3, for the title at second singles, while Liz Blickhahn and McKenna Harbison claimed a 6-1, 7-5 victory at third doubles over Minooka’s Madison Kaufman and Tessa Stovall.

Also for the Indians, Ashley Mathews and Gabby Rabianski dropped a 6-7 (5-7), 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 decision to Ottawa’s Emily Gallagher and Katie McGraw at first doubles.

They also took third at second doubles with Sara Brenza and Breanna Jovanov.

“The kids played really well against a bunch of great teams,” Hill said. “They hadn’t been able to play for about a week, so I was a little nervous about today. They were a little rusty in the beginning, but they shook it off. When they got down a little bit, they didn’t give up but went right back at it. Even when our kids are down, they keep finding ways to win.”

Minooka won the title in second doubles, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4), over Ottawa behind the team of Grace Thelo and Gabrielle Hajduk. Also for the Indians, Emma VanDrie and Sarah Boeringa placed third at first doubles.

JCA also received a third-place finish at first singles from Maddie Bauer and the same showing from the third doubles squad of Katie McSteen and Maddy Peters. Also placing third was Plainfield Central’s Katie Kearney at second singles.

BEARS VS. PACKERS: SOLDIER FIELD, NOON SUNDAY, FOX

Goals soaring for Packers, as climb begins for Bears

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press LAKE FOREST – Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers welcome the soaring expectations. Maybe someday soon, the Bears will, too.

The league’s oldest rivals meet Sunday in a season opener that matches two teams that are in far different places, with the Packers eyeing a championship run and the Bears essentially starting over under new coach John Fox and general manager Ryan Pace.

“Expectations are always high from the fans, from you guys, from the fantasy football owners, from the pundits out there, we like it like that,” Rodgers said.

“We don’t get too high, too low from the hype outside. We just try to focus on things we can control, and that’s the preparation and the cohesiveness we have in this locker room and go out on the field and try to put together a good product.”

The Packers are a model of cohesion with four straight NFC North titles and an appearance in last year’s conference championship game. The Bears, on the other hand, were anything but a model of cohesion in a five-win nightmare last season.

Along with the changes at the top, they are going from a 4-3 to 3-4 scheme to try to revive a defense that ranked among the worst in franchise history the past two years. They’re also seeking more balance on offense after relying heavily on the pass.

More than anything, they’re trying to establish a foundation, with a coach who led Carolina and Denver to the Super Bowl. And they will be tested right from the start.

The Packers outscored the Bears, 9331, over two games last season – a 3817 victory at Soldier Field for the fran-

chise’s 700th win and a 55-14 takedown at Lambeau Field that was historic on several levels.

Not only did Rodgers throw for six TDs to match a franchise game record, he did it in the first half. All those scoring passes tied the NFL mark for a half.

The Monsters of the Midway joined the 1923 Rochester Jeffersons as the only teams to give up 50 points in backto-back games.

It’s not hard to see why coach Mike McCarthy vowed the Packers would “kick Chicago’s (butt)” a Green Bay Chamber of Commerce luncheon last week. Or, why Fox would not argue the point.

“Well I looked at the tape. They should be confident,” Fox said.

Here are some things to look for as the league’s longest rivals meet: WELCOME BACK, JAMES: There was probably no better last-minute fit for the Packers offense than receiver James Jones, the veteran who was signed on Monday after he was cut by the New York Giants. Jones played seven seasons in Green Bay before leaving for Oakland for a season in 2014. He turned into one of quarterback Rodgers’ favorite targets during his first stint with the Packers, and with Jordy Nelson suffering a season-ending right knee injury in the preseason, Green Bay brought him back.

NO ANSWERS: Two big questions for Chicago this week were whether Alshon Jeffery would play and where Kyle Long would play. Fox was not about to provide answers. Jeffery, the No. 1 receiver, practiced Wednesday for the first time in nearly a month after being sidelined by a left calf injury. As for Long, a two-time Pro Bowl right guard, there was speculation he would move to right tackle after Jordan Mills was released over the weekend.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS

Illinois shuts out W. Illinois The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Northwestern routs Eastern Illinois, 41-0

EVANSTON – Redshirt freshman Clayton Thorson threw his first career touchdown pass and ran one in himself for the second straight game to lead Northwestern to a 41-0 rout of Eastern Illinois on Saturday.

Justin Jackson and Warren Long also rushed for scores as the Wildcats had their way on the ground and in the air against the Panthers.

Thorson completed 11 of 16 passes for 152 yards, including a throw to Austin Carr who ran in his first collegiate touchdown off a pass to complete a 44-yard play early in the second half.

Matthew Harris intercepted Eastern Illinois’ Jalen Whitlow twice. His second pick, with 1:08 left in the third quarter, resulted in a wide-open 71-yard touchdown return.

Jake Mitchell added a pair of field goals as Northwestern followed up on a tight 16-6 upset of then-No. 21 Stanford last week by limiting Eastern Illinois to

Northern Illinois beats Murray State, 57-26

DeKALB – Drew Hare threw four touchdowns as Northern Illinois beat Murray State, 57-26, on Saturday.

Hare was 29 of 38 for 358 yards for the Huskies (2-0).

Two of his TD throws went to Kenny Golladay, who finished with 136 yards receiving. Shane Wimann also caught a pair of touchdowns.

Hare hit Wimann from 4 yards for the game’s first score with 7:52 left in the first quarter. Joel Bouagnon ran for a TD early in the second quarter and Hare found Wimann again from 3 yards for another touchdown to close the first half and the Huskies led 20-10.

Two scoring passes from Hare to Golladay, one for 55 yards and another for 33 yards, and a second TD run

by Bouagnon had the Huskies up 40-16 by the end of the third quarter.

Joel Stave threw for 236 yards and three scores, and safety Leo Musso had two of Wisconsin’s three interceptions in the 58-0 victory over Miami (Ohio).

Iowa gets past Iowa St.

AMES, Iowa – C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes, including the tie-breaker to Riley McCarron with 2:14 left, lifting Iowa to a 31-17 victory over Iowa State on Saturday.

Jordan Canzeri’s fumble deep in Iowa State territory had thwarted an earlier drive by the Hawkeyes (2-0).

But their defense forced the Cyclones (1-1) to punt, Desmond King returned it to midfield and Beathard took the Hawkeyes to the decisive score, finding the 5-foot-9 McCarron in the back of the end zone from 25 yards out.

Purdue tops Indiana St.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Jim Harbaugh refused to make it about him. Bo Schembechler would’ve been proud.

Harbaugh was a winner in his home debut as Michigan’s coach thanks in large part to De’Veon Smith’s 126 yards rushing and three touchdowns that lifted the Wolverines to a 35-7 victory over Oregon State on Saturday.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – If nothing else, Purdue junior Austin Appleby has learned those who play quarterback for a Big Ten Conference program must have a short memory.

On Sept. 6 in a 41-31, season-opening loss at Marshall, Appleby was intercepted four times, two of which were returned for touchdowns.

But Appleby kept his job and threw four touchdown passes Saturday, including three of 50 yards or more during the first half, leading Purdue to a 38-14 victory against FCS opponent Indiana State.

Ohio State tops Hawaii

Penn State beats Buffalo

Michigan routs Oregon St.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ezekiel Elliott scored three touchdowns on short runs as No. 1 Ohio State (2-0) started slowly but scored a flurry of points late in a 38-0 win over Hawaii (1-1) on Saturday.

Elliott scored on 1- and 3-yard runs in the first half, and added a 1-yard touchdown with about nine minutes left for a 24-0 lead.

Wis. routs Miami (Ohio)

MADISON, Wis. – Evenkeeled Paul Chryst deflected attention to his players after his victorious home debut as Wisconsin’s head coach.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – As Christian Hackenberg walked off the field Saturday, his blue jersey and white pants were nearly as clean as when he walked out of the tunnel four hours earlier.

It was a welcome sight for the Penn State junior quarterback’s teammates, coaches and Penn State fans who watched as Hackenberg was sacked 10 times the week before. But a reshuffled offensive line with kept Buffalo pass rushers off Hackenberg and Penn State’s offense slowly built momentum to outlast Buffalo, 27-14.

NOTRE DAME 34, VIRGINIA 27

ND gets thrilling finish vs. Virginia, but loses QB Zaire

By HANK KURZ Jr. The Associated Press CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Quarterback DeShone Kizer came in for the injured Malik Zaire and threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Will Fuller with 12 seconds left Saturday and No. 9 Notre Dame beat Virginia in a thrilling finish, 34-27.

The last-minute victory was tempered when Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said after the game that Zaire would be out for the season with a fractured ankle.

The injury comes a week after the Fighting Irish (2-0) lost their top running back Tarean Folston, and found a strong backup in C.J. Prosise.

Notre Dame lost the lead when Virginia scored with 1:54 remaining. With Zaire out, Virginia (0-2) had rallied, but Kizer came to the rescue on the final drive.

He ran 4 yards for a first down on fourth-and-2 from the Notre Dame 28, and later found the speedy Fuller behind Maurice Canady down the left sideline for the winning touchdown.

The game drew more than 58,000 to Scott Stadium, many of them in Fighting Irish green, and when the final gun sounded, the team gathered on the field for an impromptu cel-

ebration, to the delight of the crowd.

Those same fans had been silenced only minutes before as Matt Johns completed a 34yard pass on third-and-15 to put the ball at the Irish 1, and then Albert Reid took it in on the next play to give Virginia a 27-26 lead.

Johns threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third for Virginia, taking back momentum after Notre Dame opened a 26-14 lead. The Irish were seemingly one more score from putting the game away and sending fans for the exits, but instead, Johns led a sixplay drive to his 4-yard TD run.

Notre Dame started to take control in the third quarter, after Virginia drove to the Irish 15 and wound up settling for a 43-yard field goal try that missed. Following an exchange of punts, Zaire sent Will Fuller streaking down the right side and hit him with a perfectly thrown pass, a 59yard touchdown that put them back ahead, 19-14.

They made it 26-14 with a three-play, 45-yard drive capped by Prosise’s 24-yard run, but lost Zaire when he appeared to roll his ankle on a designed run that gained just three yards. Zaire was helped off the field and later taken to the locker room on a cart, and Kizer went the rest of the way.

CHAMPAIGN – A season ago, Illinois games against Youngstown State, Texas State and others that Big Ten teams are expected to coast through turned into nail-biters.

On Saturday, the Illini (20) put together some proof they can handle the teams they’re supposed to, blowing out Western Illinois, 44-0, a second-straight easy win after the 52-3 demolition of Kent State in the opener.

But even in a shutout win over the Football Championship Subdivision Leathernecks, Illinois showed cracks. The Illini turned the ball over four times and struggled to run much of the game against a limited Leatherneck defense.

“It’s a lot more positive going out there trying to fix things when you win 44-0,” Illinois coach Bill Cubit said.

The shutout was Illinois’ first since a 44-0 win over Charleston Southern in 2012.

138 total yards and 70 on the ground.

Eaton’s 3 hits lift Sox past Twins The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Adam Eaton had three hits, Carlos Sanchez hit a two-run double and the White Sox used a seven-run fourth inning to beat the Minnesota Twins, 8-2, on Saturday night.

Trevor Plouffe had two hits and an RBI for the Twins, who began the day one game behind Texas in the race for the second AL wild card.

Jose Quintana (9-10) settled in after allowing two runs in the first. He threw five scoreless innings after that and has allowed two runs in 13 innings over his last two starts.

The Sox finished with 15 hits and have won six of nine.

Tommy Milone (8-5) gave up seven runs — four earned — and eight hits in 3 2⁄ 3 innings, his second-shortest start of the season.

He was 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA in three previous starts

against the Sox. Aaron Hicks scored on a passed ball in the first inning to give the Twins the lead after he drew a walk, stole second and advanced on first baseman Jose Abreu’s error.

Plouffe singled to drive in another run.

Quintana has allowed 26 runs in the first inning this season, tied for most in the majors with teammate Jeff Samardzija.

The Sox’s seven runs in the fourth matched a season high and were the most the Twins have allowed in an inning this season.

The Sox sent 11 batters to the plate and Trayce Thompson had two of their six hits while the Twins committed two errors in the inning.

Thompson led off with a double and scored on Alexei Ramirez’s single.

Asche’s walk-off HR lifts Phillies past Cubs

PHILADELPHIA– Pinch-hitter Cody Asche hit

a walk-off, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-5 victory over the Cubs on Saturday night.

The Cubs dropped to three games back of Pittsburgh for the top NL wild-card spot with just their second loss in their last nine.

Hector Rondon (5-4) got the first two outs of the ninth before walking Erik Kratz. Asche followed in the pitcher’s spot and drove the first pitch into the foul pole in right field to help Philadelphia win for just the fifth time in the last 19 games.

Asche was mobbed by his teammates at home plate and doused with water. He got a bucket of fruit punch dumped on him along with a shaving cream pie in the face during a postgame TV interview.

Ken Giles (6-2) pitched 11⁄3 scoreless innings, striking out three, to earn the victory.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP

Ganassi driver Jamie McMurray clinches Chase spot at Richmond The ASSOCIATED PRESS RICHMOND, Va. –— Jamie McMurray clinched his first career berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship Saturday night at Richmond.

McMurray only needed the green flag to drop to make it on points and become the 12th driver to make the 16-driver field. Ryan Newman, Jeff Gordon, Paul Menard and Clint Bowyer are among the drivers racing for the final Chase spots in the race that will set the field for next week’s playoff opener at Chicagoland Speedway.

If there is a repeat 2015 race winner, Newman and Gordon will clinch regardless of finish.

McMurray, who won the Daytona 500 and Brickyard

400 in 2010, is only the second driver to make the Chase for team owner Chip Ganassi, following Juan Pablo Montoya in 2009.

“It’s gratifying to bring a group of people together and accomplish something like this, and to be a part of a team of guys that accomplished this,” Ganassi said.

“Now that’s the first goal, the goal changes now. The goal post changes to winning races and advancing in the Chase.”

McMurray missed the cutoff for the Chase by one spot in 2004 and lost the final spot after a crash at Richmond in 2005. He also lost out on the final Chase spot at Richmond in 2014.

Teammate Kyle Larson must win the race to qualify for the Chase. Ganassi said

on the starting grid before the race he believed both drivers could make the field.

“Absolutely. Stanger things have happened,” Ganassi said.

Ganassi won the IndyCar championship this season when driver Scott Dixon made a late charge and won on a tiebreaker after winning the finale in Sonoma.

Ganassi’s left arm was in a sling after he broke his collarbone when he fell off his mountain bike last week. He tweeted a picture of his X-ray and had surgery last Sunday.

“It’s more of an inconvenience and uncomfortable thing as opposed to pain,” he said. “I had to ride back a couple of miles after I did it to get to my car. I’m starting to sweat just thinking about it.”

Local student spent 7 weeks studying abroad

Hannah Schulz poses for a photo in Insadong, Korea, with another student and her host siblings.

Insadong is a focal point of historical Korean traditions and culture. For seven weeks, Schulz and the other 15 American scholarship recipients studied a Koreanlanguage curriculum in Songdo, Korea.

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent SHOREWOOD – While looking down at her dinner bowl that contained a live, wiggling octopus, Hannah Schulz kept telling herself this impossible-to-chew delicacy was a part of her studying abroad learning experience.

With the desire to travel while learning – and dealing with a non-existent budget – Schulz, a Shorewood resident and then a junior at Minooka Community High School – researched online for scholarship programs to fulfill her dream.

Schulz learned about a study abroad program sponsored by U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs through the American Field Science and NSLI-Y National Security Language Initiative for Youth programs.

“I had to apply the October [2014] before my summer trip and it was basically like applying for college,” Schulz said. “I had to write a lot of essays, send transcripts, include recommendations from teachers or coaches, and go through a series of interviews.”

Olivia Gerk, English teacher at Minooka Community High School South Campus and Schulz’s speech team co-sponsor, wrote a letter of recommendation for her application. Gerk said Schulz is the right person for this type of intense program.

“Hannah is driven and has self-motivation, not from an external force, but from within herself,” Gerk said. “With her learning, she sees things on a global level, looking to connect not only local, but abroad. To be young and be submerged in a different cul-

ture is good for her.”

Path to international study

In March 2014, while sitting in the quiet area of the New York Flagship Library during a college visit road trip, Schulz received the call that she had been accepted into the program.

“We were all excited and wanted to shout, so we had to move out of the quiet area of the library,” said Kim Schulz, Hannah’s mother. “I called my husband and then we went to McDonald’s and I sat and cried.”

The NSLI-Y scholarship is a merit-based scholarship for eligible high school students and recent high school graduates to learn less commonly taught languages in summer and academic-year overseas programs, according to www. nsliforyouth.org.

With this program, Hannah had the option to learn one of seven different languages in more than 14 loca-

tions around the globe. Out of Arabic, Chinese Mandarin, Hindi, Korean, Persian (Tajiki), Russian and Turkish, she chose to learn Korean in Songdo, Korea.

Schulz said that for safety reasons she and her parents thought that South Korea was one of the safer places for her to go.

Living and studying in Korea

For seven weeks, Schulz and the other 15 American scholarship recipients studied a curriculum implemented through Stony Brook University, out of Stony Brook, New York, at SUNY (State University New York) Korea, the first American university in Korea. There, they were immersed in the language and culture.

The students had a strict schedule, with classes running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and evening activities varying.

The Korean language classes averaged four hours per day,

along with tutoring and group project time.

“After classes I would meet up with other students and eat downtown, work on group projects and we also did volunteer work,” Schulz said.

“We had a lot of involvement with the high school students, volunteered at a home for the disabled, and worked at a street festival.”

On the weekends, the students stayed with host families, who were instructed to not use much English with the students. Schulz said that wasn’t a problem, because in her host family of five, only the youngest child knew English.

The host mother insisted Schulz photograph the large breakfasts she made, Schulz said.

“She didn’t like the pictures I took,” Schulz said, “so she would take my phone and take the pictures herself and have me send them to my mom.”

Schulz said the Korean language was hard to learn, but “the challenge made the trip worthwhile.” In the beginning, conversation was mostly nonverbal.

“I didn’t know how to say hi and bye when I got to South Korea,” Schulz said, “but when I left, I could hold a 15-minute conversation.”

She also learned a gift of fruit signified respect.

“My host sister and her cheerleading squad lost a competition,” Schulz said, “so I took them a pineapple and a watermelon and they cried.”

Schulz and her host sister speak frequently via Skype in order to keep up the learning of each other’s new language.

Next fall, Schulz hopes to be a Georgetown Hoya, majoring in finance and international relations. She also hopes to be fluent in seven languages: Icelandic, Korean, German, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic and her native English.

Vinoba Bhave, an Indian advocate for human rights who died in 1982, said, “Innumerable actions are going on through us all the time. If we started counting them, we should never come to an end.”

Luckily, it is not that tough at the bridge table. However, the more counting you do, the better you will play. In today’s deal, what should East count to find the killing defense against three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest diamond two?

The auction followed a predictable course. South opened two no-trump, which I play shows a good 20 to 22 points. But even if I were playing the 20-21 range that is popular in the tournament world, I would not upgrade to a two-club opening. Yes, there is a five-card suit, but the two-honors-doubleton in spades is a minus. And having only three aces and one king is another minus. A typical balanced two-club opening should have another king.

Then, North used Stayman, hoping to find a 4-4 major-suit fit.

An unthinking East would win the first trick with his diamond ace and lead back the diamond three – “always” return partner’s suit, especially in no-trump. Then the contract would make with an overtrick.

East should count the diamonds.

West’s lead announces that he started with exactly four. This means that South must have five. And it is not a good idea to help declarer establish his long suit. At trick two, East should shift to the spade four. This kills the contract.

West takes South’s queen with his king and returns the 10 to drive out declarer’s ace. South has only eight tricks.

It’s never too early to read to your baby Dear Dr. K: My pediatrician has urged me to read with my toddler every day. Why? And where do I begin?

Dear Reader: Reading with children at a young age helps them develop their reading skills and language. A child who reads with his or her parents will learn to enjoy books, learn to read faster and want to read more.

But reading to a baby is more than that. It’s also a bonding experience. Even though the baby can’t really understand, he or she will begin to connect spoken words to the words printed on a page. The baby will enjoy the sound of your voice and start to develop listening skills.

And the book will have pictures that awaken the baby’s curiosity.

That’s why, even though a very young baby is not yet ready to learn to read, it is never too early to start.

Young toddlers like to hold books and point at pictures. They may bring a book to a caregiver and request to read it. (Though they don’t always sit still for the entire reading.) Board books and washable cloth books are good choices because the pages are sturdy and easy to turn. Young toddlers enjoy looking at books with pictures of children doing familiar things, pictures of animals and simple rhymes.

Older toddlers like to carry books around the house. They turn pages one at a time and name familiar pictures.

They often demand that a story be read again because each time they see something new. Older toddlers enjoy simple stories, books they can memorize, books about making friends and books about kids like them.

Preschoolers can usu-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff ally hold a book without help and turn regular book pages one at a time.

They sometimes pretend to read by moving their finger across the page.

They like to describe simple actions, such as sleeping or eating, and to retell familiar stories in their own words.

Preschoolers enjoy and can sit still for slightly longer stories. They like silly stories and books about familiar activities like going to school or playing in the snow.

Try to read with your child for short periods, several times each day.

Choose stories that you like and share your enthusiasm about the book with your child. Most children have favorite books; be prepared to read them over and over.

Don’t forget to introduce new books, too. Ask your local librarian for suggestions. If your child has a favorite book, look for others by the same author.

While reading with young children can bond them to you, reading itself can have a different value with older children.

It can become an activity in which they learn to be alone, to do something just by themselves. It gives them privacy: They are alone with whatever thoughts and emotions have been stirred by the book.

Keep in mind that books that appeal to one child may not appeal to another. The only recommendation that truly matters is the one from your child!

Dear Abby: I was at my brother-in-law’s house with my husband and our 4-yearold daughter. We were playing our weekly video game, and when my brother-in-law won a round, he shouted a racial epithet. I asked him not to use it in front of my little girl because if she repeats it at school, she could be suspended, and we don’t use that kind of language in our family.

Now he claims I “disrespected him” and I should apologize to him because it was his house and he can say what he wants. He doesn’t have children of his own.

Who is right here? Is it OK to say whatever you want because it’s your house, or is it better to use some censorship when there are children around? – Wondering in

Blondie

Pearls Before Swine

The Argyle Sweater

Wyoming Dear Wondering: You did

Real Life Adventures

the right thing. Your brother-in-law should watch his mouth when your daughter is present. Because he’s unwilling to do that, limit her exposure to him. And if she hears him do it again, make sure to explain to her that the expression is one you do not want her to ever repeat.

Dear Abby: I am a 24-yearold waitress who needs advice on how to handle older men when they continually flirt, touch and even ask for hugs while I’m serving them dinner. I work in an upscale dinner house. I feel sorry for their embarrassed wives and girlfriends who witness this disgusting behavior.

Waitresses have to put up with this kind of thing for tips. Is there anything I can do to prevent it and still receive a reasonable tip for good service? – Sick and Tired

in California Dear Sick and Tired: Yes.

Keep your sense of humor.

Smile a lot, laugh when appropriate and stand out of reach.

Most of these men are harmless. They are trying to be friendly. Those who you find

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips overtly offensive, you should turn over to another server. If the requests for hugs continue, talk to your manager for guidance in handling them.

Dear Abby: My fiancee’s son is gay and recently married.

He is 30 and his spouse is 24.

They don’t have much money, so I hosted their wedding reception in my backyard.

In addition to all the work involved – getting the food and drinks, preparing the food, preparing the yard and cleaning up – I wound up with $700 charged on my credit card. I have been out of work for the last three months and can’t afford this.

I know tradition is that the father of the bride pays for the reception and the father of the groom pays for the drinks. In a gay wedding, is the new tradition that Mom’s boyfriend pays while both dads don’t spend a cent? Both of them work. I’m considering sending them each a polite bill for $300. What do you suggest? – Modern Man in

Pennsylvania Dear Modern Man: I suggest

that you and your fiancee take care of the bill, and ask the grooms to pitch in what they can afford. I don’t think it would be fair or appropriate to expect the new in-laws to pay for anything that wasn’t clearly agreed upon before the wedding reception took place.

To my Jewish readers: Sundown starts Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This is the beginning of our time of solemn introspection. “Leshana tova tikatevu” -- may each of us be inscribed in the Book of Life and enjoy another good year.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Look to the future with optimism. You have the right ideas to orchestrate your own destiny. Your plans are well thought out, and you have everything you need at your fingertips.

There will be unanticipated changes, but if you learn to roll with the punches, you will succeed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t let romantic dreams intrude on your agenda. You will accomplish a great deal if you stay focused, leaving you plenty of time for more pleasurable activities later on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Lady Luck is in your corner. Change is in the air, making today the perfect time to tackle any alterations to your living space that you have been considering.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Make positive

changes that help alleviate one of your concerns. Plan or host an event that contributes to a local charity or school. You will gain leadership experience and your popularity will grow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Someone will try to ruin your reputation. Jealousy is probably to blame for the assault. Use your charm, intelligence and standing to put an end to any rumors.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Important connections will be made in the most unlikely places. A trip to an out- of-the-ordinary location will connect you to someone who can turn your life around.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – An enjoyable night of entertainment should be scheduled. By

completing responsibilities or projects ahead of time, you will find it easier to enjoy your evening plans.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your free time will be divided between two different groups of people. Family and old friends both deserve your loyalty, but today it’s essential that you make time for your peers as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Spice up your social life. Give yourself a chance to relax and have fun with the people you enjoy being

around most. Remember to include young and old alike.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t be deterred by negative opinions. Others are not likely to share your vision at first, but the people who count will come on board once they understand what you are doing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your consideration for others will cause a rift in family dynamics.

As long as you are doing your part at home, there should be no cause for you to feel guilty.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Self-discipline will ensure your continued advancement. If you don’t already have one in place, adopt a strict budget to reduce debt and improve your financial status.
