Getting engaged in Election Day

LOCAL BRIEF

It’s that time of year again, when the air has a chill to it, people head to the stadium Friday nights to cheer on their favorite football team, and orchards are filled with people picking apples or searching for the perfect pumpkin.

And ... when the airwaves are dominated by political ads, most featuring one candidate bashing an opponent while saying little about what he or she would do if elected.

As much as I dislike the rhetoric and negativity of campaign season, I love that we live in a country where we get to vote and have a say in who makes the decisions that affect our lives. I received my voter registration card for Will County and am ready to use it come Election Day, which this year falls on Nov. 4.

I’d also love to see a healthy debate on our Opinion pages as Election Day approaches.

With that in mind, here are the practices we will follow as it pertains to letters to the editor relating to the election.

• Election-related letters are limited to 200 words.

• We do not accept form letters. If you feel that strongly about a candidate or issue, please take the time to write your own message, and not just download one from someone’s website.

• While we encourage people to be engaged, we do not

PARK FOREST – A “Know Your Oaks Hike” will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Sept. 20, at Thorn Creek Nature Center, 247 Monee Road, Park Forest.

Discover which oaks are found locally and how to tell them apart even when the leaves are gone. Be prepared to walk more than 2 miles outdoors on natural surface trails across uneven terrain.

Registration is required by Sept. 18; call 708-747-6320.

For information, visit ReconnectWithNature.org.

VIEWS Kate Schott want just a handful of people writing dozens of letters. We will run one election-related letter every 15 days per person. So if you want more than one to appear in print before Nov. 4, start writing now.

• The deadline to submit an election-related letter is 5 p.m.

Oct. 29; the last day we’ll run them likely will be Nov. 2.

• You must sign your letter with your name, and also include your address and phone number. The only thing that will go in the paper will be your name and town; the rest of the information is for verification purposes (this is required of all letters to the editor, but I wanted to restate it here).

• Send letters to opinion@ theherald-news.com or mail them to: The Herald-News, Letters to the Editor, 2175 Oneida St., Joliet, IL 60435.

Getting informed We’re also mapping out our election coverage, with plans for profiles of candidates and pieces on referendums voters might see on the ballot this year.

One of the aspects of our election coverage is called

Election Central. It’s a project done by other papers owned

by Shaw Media and I’m excited to bring it here to The Herald-News (we hope to have it online by early October before early voting opportunities begin). We will have a page on our website that is a clearinghouse of information about candidates.

It will include stories we’ve written, as well as articles from wire services like the Associated Press, but also questionnaires we will send to candidates running for offices on the ballot in Will and Grundy counties. It’s a chance for them to speak to you in their own words – and it allows readers to learn about candidates on their own time.

If you’re a candidate, I plan to start emailing those questionnaires out this week, so be on the lookout for an email from me. If you’re a reader, what would you like to see us cover when it comes to the election?

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Lewis University is teaching its largest freshman class ever while total enrollment swelled to a record of more than 6,700 students this year.

The university’s freshman class totals 760 students. An addition of 453 transfer students also contributed to the record-breaking enrollment.

The enrollment count includes 530 students at a Lewis University regional center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

“We’re very excited,” said Ray Kennelly, senior vice president for enrollment management, marketing and planning.

“It has been a really strong

start to this academic year,” he said. “I really think it comes down to we have one of the few mid-sized comprehensive universities that has combined academic programs with a modest tuition.”

The university reported a significant increase in students studying science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, subjects.

Post-baccalaureate and graduate programs like biomedical sciences, pre-medical studies, business analytics, and information security and management are also growing.

Kennelly said the university has been steadily growing in enrollment for 15 years.

“This year was a significant increase,” he said. “We’re expecting to approach 7,000 stu-

dents across all levels of the institution in the near future.”

With more students, more resources must be devoted to classrooms and housing.

About 460 first-year students are living on campus, another record for the university.

“We opened the year at max capacity for our residential housing,” Kennelly said.

“There was a short wait list for housing when we opened up this year.”

Lewis is planning to add more housing space while renovating the St. Charles Borromeo Center for university use. Kennelly said that while three new residential halls have been built in the past 10 years, there may be discussion to build another one if current enrollment trends continue.

Joliet Chamber: 100 years devoted to business and community

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry has changed its name several times during the past 100 years. It’s also changed offices, board members and chairman.

But two ideals have remained constant throughout the decades: the group’s dedication to improving both the business climate for its members and the quality of life for Joliet residents.

The chamber will celebrate its 100th anniversary this week, with several events leading up to the Centennial Gala on Saturday at the Rialto Square Theatre.

Russ Slinkard, the chamber’s president and CEO, said the group has worked to stay relevant even as the city transitioned from its manufacturing roots to more of a service industry.

“It’s been a tremendous period of growth for the city,” Slinkard said.

Russ “I’ve always Slinkard said that we have to grow as the city grows.”

When Slinkard was hired in 1996, the group had about 500 members. By 2001, membership grew to 1,500. Numbers dropped during the recession, but the organization has rebuilt itself to where it is now the fourth largest Chamber in Illinois, Slinkard said.

Slinkard took the job in 1996 after retiring from Ameritech.

He planned to stay on for three years. Eighteen years later, he’s still at the helm.

“I still enjoy working with the members and meeting new people,” Slinkard said. “It has just been a great experience.”

Joliet’s Chamber began in 1914 as the Association of

The Barretts hardware store, seen in this photo next to the S&H Green Stamps redemption center, reflects one of the big business names in Joliet over the 100-year history of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Commerce, an offshoot of the Joliet Rotary Club. Within a few months, the name was changed to the Joliet Association of Commerce. The name eventually transitioned to Joliet Chamber of Commerce and Industry, with the Region moniker added in 1962.

The Chamber had several offices downtown before purchasing its current site at 63 N. Chicago St., most notably its clubhouse at 214 N. Ottawa St., which eventually became Joliet Junior College’s Renaissance Center.

Designed by D.H. Burnham and Co. of Chicago, the clubhouse was built in 1925 by the same company that constructed Union Station. Members used the club as a place to play cards and pool, and socialize in the 1920s and 1930s.

Since then, the Chamber has been housed on Ottawa Street, in the building that now houses the Will County State’s Attorney’s office, the Mode Theater and in the Rialto building.

Slinkard eventually decided the Chamber should buy its own building to accommodate its growing staff and services.

It purchased its current facility for $255,000, and spent another $94,000 rehabbing the building.

The mortgage was paid off last year.

The Chamber has a tradition of getting behind community projects.

In its early years it raised funds to help launch Silver Cross Hospital. It also helped push construction of the Brandon Road Lock and Dam in the 1930s.

In 2002, the Chamber was

instrumental in helping pass District 86’s $28 million referendum to build two new elementary schools and provide additions for two others.

This year, it plans to get behind the Joliet Park District’s ballot request for $19.5 million to renovate 23 area parks, build an East Side activity center and resurface roads and trails at Pilcher Park.

“It’s a quality of life issue,” said Mary Jaworski, the chamber’s executive vice president.

“We are proud to stand behind it.”

The Chamber hosts a variety of events through the year, including this week’s Athena Award, a business expo, New Orleans North, Salute to Industry, a Springfield Drivedown and an entrepreneur fair for grade schoolers.

The club has made working with students a new priority, this year, giving out 40 $1,000 college scholarships to grade school students, Jaworski said.

The Chamber works with the Joliet business community both through its main branch and its three subsidiaries – the Council for Working Women, the Joliet Area Young Professionals and Alianza, which grew out of the group’s relationship with the Latino Business Association.

Working with members and associated groups help the Chamber to continually refresh its leadership, Slinkard said.

“Several members of these groups have gone on to become board members,” Slinkard noted.

Jeff Thompson, president of Northern Insurance Services, is this year’s board chairman.

“Our mission statement is to serve as the collective voice for initiating action for the betterment of the entire community,” Thompson said. “I think over the last 100 years we as a Chamber have zeroed in on helping local businesses, whether large or small.”

Special Spaces remodels room for children with health needs

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Shy 3-yearold Julie Pernalski clutched her mother after stepping into her new princess-themed room.

Her mother, Sam Pernalski, saw a big smile adorn Julie’s face after Special Spaces Chicagoland teamed up with FedEx Ground in Romeoville to renovate her room Thursday.

The family arrived in the late afternoon to see the transformation.

“This is just amazing. I just don’t have the words,” Sam Pernalski said.

Special Spaces, an organization that builds dream bedrooms for children with terminal or life-threatening medical conditions, organized the renovation in the bedroom and other areas of the house in just one day. The local chapter renovates rooms about once a month.

The team from Special Spaces was joined by 27 volunteers from FedEx Ground, which sponsored the project.

“We have companies sponsor, but they don’t usually send so many people,” said Kelly Knox, the director of Special Spaces Chicagoland.

“I’m so shocked a big company like FedEx would contribute to help one family like this,” said Michael Pernalski, Julie’s father. “This is just unbelievable.”

For the past two years, Julie has gone through chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Her parents applied with Special Spaces and the family was accepted for the project.

But it was Bolingbrook resident Ben Atkinson who helped secure the sponsorship from FedEx Ground, where he works.

“She sleeps with us right now. It’s nice because she likes it so much, now she’ll sleep in her room. We’re going to be playing with the tea set in her room the rest of the day.”

Sam Pernalski Mother of Julie Pernalski

Special Spaces renovated Atkinson’s daughter’s room last year.

“Kendall had a lot of medical equipment in her room,” Ben Atkinson said of his daughter. “It was basically a hospital room. But now my daughter enjoys her room. That has a major impact on our family.”

Julie’s parents see a similar effect on her.

“She sleeps with us right now,” Sam Pernalski said. “It’s nice because she likes it so much, now she’ll sleep in her own room. We’re going to be playing with the tea set in her room the rest of the day.”

Julie’s room was originally a dark pink. But now it’s a light shade of purple, her favorite color. The makeover included a new, fancy ceiling fan, furniture and hand-made drapes and decorations. Project Manager Andrea Schwemin said Julie wanted a “Tinkerbell Princess” theme.

“We interviewed the family to see what they would like,” Schwemin said. “We see if the child has any special needs.

Julie didn’t need much. But we knew she likes books and princesses and very girly things.”

Special Spaces and volunteers from FedEx, including (left) Clifford Bullock and Frank Swierczynski, do a complete makeover of Julie Pernalski’s room Thursday. to $4,000 in sponsorship, Schwemin asked Julie’s parents if there was any other work they wanted done. The living and family rooms were repainted

from orange and green to more neutral colors.

A room on the bottom floor was also renovated into a play room for Julie.

“This is impressive,” Michael Pernalski said. “This couldn’t have been possible without the help of all of these guys.”

Seven-Day Forecast for Will County

Habitat for Humanity builds in Crest Hill “These kids are ready to do something with their hands.”

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – A Crest Hill family that donated the land was at the Friday morning groundbreaking for the first home Will County Habitat for Humanity intends to build in the city.

Members of the Susner family were joined by Habitat for Humanity workers, City of Crest Hill staff and others to watch the groundbreaking at 1907 Nicholson St. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that builds houses for families or individuals who otherwise might not be able to afford a home. The local chapter has built more than 50 homes in Lockport and Joliet. The organization recently expanded into Bolingbrook and Romeoville along with Crest Hill.

“The family feels good about the whole thing,” Paul Susner said, adding that one of the late family members had planned to build a house on the land for a brother before both of them died. “They would have wanted this.”

The home will have three bedrooms with a full basement. The construction is unique for Habitat for Hu-

Family arrested in driveway incident

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, September 14, 2014

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – A man and his parents were arrested Wednesday after a confrontation with police in their driveway.

At 8:35 p.m., a Will County Sheriff’s deputy noticed a vehicle without working taillights near Sugar Creek and Sugar Valley drives, spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said.

The driver refused to stop until pulling into a garage in the 300 block of Middletree Road, she said.

“The deputy asked John T. Stewart, 28, to exit the vehicle.

He did not comply and began honking the horn, stating he wanted his mother to come out first,” Hoffmeyer said.

Keith Morris, 52, and Clarissa Morris, 48, came outside to approach the deputy and refused to back away, according to Hoffmeyer.

“Additional deputies arrived on the scene while the Morrises continued to move towards the deputy and Stewart in an attempt to interfere with his arrest,” Hoffmeyer said.

Stewart was charged with driving with a suspended license, resisting arrest, driving with no taillights and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. Keith and Carol Morris were arrested on charges of resisting arrest.

Testimony: Valle’s mother tried to protect her

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Protecting her teenage daughter from Erick Maya took a toll on Alicia Guerrero.

On Friday, Guerrero testified about the steps she took to keep Briana Valle away from a man who was eight years older than her daughter. And, she described the buildup to a February shooting in their Romeoville driveway that left Valle, 15, dead and Guerrero, 34, injured.

Maya, 24, is being tried for murder and attempted murder. His trial started Monday.

After Valle ran away in August 2012, Guerrero logged into Facebook to discover her daughter had been exchanging messages with a man named “Carlos” who lived in Cicero. Guerrero testified she looked at the skyline in a video “Carlos” had on his page and drove around trying to match it to information she got from her daughter’s cellphone company.

After police used the information to reunite Guerrero with her daughter, “all she could talk about was Carlos”

on the ride home, Guerrero said.

Valle used friends and relatives’ phones and online profiles to keep talking with “Carlos” and eventually revealed that his real name was Erick Maya, Guerrero testified.

Maya sent Valle, a student at Romeoville High School, cards, balloons and flowers for Valentine’s Day in 2013 and would say her mother couldn’t stop them being together, Guerrero said. Despite an order of protection, Guerrero caught Valle wearing “an engagement ring” in September 2013.

When the family moved to Emery Avenue in Romeoville the next month “to get away from him,” Valle seemed to adjust and make new friends at school, Guerrero said. In December, Valle admitted she’d been talking with Maya again, but “was [now] scared,” according to her mother’s testimony.

Maya sent text messages threatening to come to the home with friends, trash the place and rape everybody, Guerrero said. The family obtained another order of protection.

“[Unlike the first time] Briana wanted me to do it,” Guerrero said.

About 7 a.m. Feb. 13, Guerrero and Valle left to get breakfast on their way to school.

Guerrero went to put on her seat belt. She heard a pop and became angry because she thought someone had banged on the car window too loudly.

“I looked at my daughter.

Saw the [broken] glass. My daughter slouched. She wasn’t moving,” Guerrero said.

Guerrero grabbed her daughter to pull her down toward the center console and saw a man in a black hoodie standing outside “fiddling” with a revolver.

“He was fixing it or aiming it or playing with it. I said ‘Please stop. Please don’t do this.’ ... He shot me,” Guerrero testified.

With blood “gushing” from her neck and shoulder, Guerrero laid on the horn and screamed for help.

“I thought I was going to die and no one would find my daughter,” she said.

As neighbors called 911 and went to get Guerrero’s husband, she ran around to open

the passenger door and hold her daughter.

“I said, ‘I’m so sorry, baby.

I’m here.’ Her eyes blinked.

She moaned. ... I screamed and my husband came out,” Guerrero testified.

A few hours after the shooting, police found Maya hiding under a porch a few blocks away. He was wearing a black hoodie and allegedly identified himself as “Carlos” to the officers.

Valle died Feb. 17 in the hospital.

Guerrero appeared to fight back tears throughout her testimony while Maya stared down at the defense table for much of the time. At the end of Guerrero’s questioning by assistant Will County State’s Attorney Elizabeth Domagalla, she showed the scar left by the bullet that remains in her body.

Guerrero’s cross-examination by defense attorney George Lenard lasted less than a minute when she was only asked about a car she saw parked outside the morning of the shooting and couldn’t recall any details.

The trial is scheduled to continue Monday.

Police: Roosters raised for fighting

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP – Police say roosters were being raised for cockfighting on a local farm.

More than 100 roosters and chickens were found in coops along with supplements and medications for poultry breeding, according to reports.

The birds were turned over to animal control and euthanized, and the owner of the farm was being sought for arrest as of Friday.

Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas said Will County Sheriff’s police were contacted Aug. 21 after Will County Animal Control forwarded pictures someone had taken of a property in the 25600 block of West Route 30.

Kaupas said the photos showed several cages housing roosters. “One of the roosters

had the wattle and comb removed in a manner indicative of being used for fighting,” Kaupas said.

On Sept. 4, deputies and animal control officers searched the property, which is owned

by Efrain Corral, 61, according to Kaupas.

“There were also blades, leg straps, [rooster] boots, training muffs and saws. All of which appear to be paraphernalia used for cockfighting,” Kaupas said.

The roosters and chickens were euthanized because they could not be mixed with fowl not raised for fighting, Kaupas said.

After detectives interviewed Corral, a warrant was issued Thursday charging him with one count of illegal use of animals in entertainment, a class 4 felony that carries a sentence up to three years in prison.

LOCAL BRIEF Shorewood library will stay open later SHOREWOOD – Shorewood-Troy Library patrons will get an extra hour on weekends.

Starting Dec. 5, the library will stay open until 6 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The library now closes at 5 p.m. on those days. The library board approved the extra hours at a meeting Thursday.

“We did a survey this summer and the consistent thing that people wanted was they wished for longer hours on the weekend,” Director Jennie Mills said.

“We think it will give people more access after work.”

The library will be open 71 hours per week. Mills said that is more than other libraries and may be an incentive for more people to use the Shorewood-Troy Library.

Employees’ total work hours will not change, Mills said.

Hours will be shifted to cover the extra weekend hours.

The approval process The state’s application deadline is Sept. 22. Three other companies are seeking sites in Will County. State rules allow only one growing center per state police district, so only one of the Will County proposals could go forward.

But if the state gives White Oaks Growers the go-ahead, there’s nothing standing in the way, Moustis said last week.

David Dubois, the county’s zoning administrator, said White Oak Growers – or any interested companies – still need the county’s approval for building plans and permits, but after that, the approval process is purely administrative.

They need nothing else

The four companies that applied for a cultivation center in Will County are: n HortiMedicare Illinois LLC 23462 S. Youngs Road in Channahon Township n Illinois Plant LLC 27711 S. Frontage Road, a 21.6-acre parcel in Channahon Township n Green Point Botanical LLC 55-acre parcel of undeveloped land in Plainfield Township n White Oak Growers 35-acre site on the southwest corner of U.S. Route 52 and Offner Road in Wilton Township beyond that, Dubois said, because the County Board, when amending its zoning laws earlier this spring, made cultivation centers a “permitted use” in agriculture and industrial zones.

Curt Paddock, the county’s land use director, said without the special-use process, there’s no opportunity for the public to weigh in on plans through a public hearing. The county also does not have the authority to address site-specific concerns.

Paddock said the Land Use Department recommended the County Board adopt special-use requirements for both cultivation centers and dispensaries.

“It’s in the very nature of the [special-use] process that you’ve got to have hearings and you’ve got to send out notices to adjacent property owners,” Paddock said. “We had assumed that that would be a level of involvement and scrutiny that the board would want to have.”

Manhattan Village Administrator Kevin Sing said the village is considering annexing the 35-acre site in Wilton Township because of potential tax revenue. It’s unclear what the village’s limitations and options are at this point, Sing said.

“We believe that the prudent thing to do, if it’s in our backyard, is find out if it’s possible for us to annex them,” Sing said. “We’re still researching.”

• Sunday, September 14, 2014

JOLIET – For those wanting to enter the medical marijuana business in Will County, there’s a long list of requirements when applying for a state permit.

But when it comes to cultivation centers, there’s one thing entrepreneurs won’t need: county approval.

That one hang-up caused some controversy last week after a group of New York investors bought a 35-acre plot of land in Wilton Township intending to build a medical marijuana growing center there.

The area – on the southwest corner of U.S. Route 52 and Offner Road – is near residential properties.

What it also means is that not much, if anything, can be done for Wilton Township residents who spoke out against the plan last week at a meeting held at Manhattan Village Hall.

Several residents were angered at the thought of a marijuana farm in their backyard, according to Wilton Township Supervisor Gynith Borden.

Some even called Will County Board members, including Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, who then called on the County Board to tighten its zoning rules relating to medical marijuana businesses.

Community effort aids Goose Lake woman

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com

M

ORRIS – Wheelchair-bound and without ramps to help her get around, Tressa Vergonet felt like a “caged animal” living alone inside her Goose Lake home.

An immune system disorder and other health problems rendered Vergonet unable to walk last December.

For eight months, she struggled. Getting the mail, letting out the dog, answering the door; daily chores became daily battles – often ending with a trip to the emergency room – in a home ill-equipped for her wheelchair.

Adding accessibility ramps would be costly, especially for Vergonet, a senior on a “very limited income.”

“I was feeling hopeless. All these days and months went by, and I thought I was just going to live out my days like this,” Vergonet said.

At her darkest hour, something special happened.

“God intervened. I really believe that He did,” she said.

Call it divine intervention or call it community kindness, but on Sept. 6, Vergonet was gifted a new wheelchair ramp from the First Christian Church of Morris and the Grundy County Health Department.

The department supplied funding for raw materials, and the church provided skilled labor. In just eight hours, a group of four church volunteers built a ramp for Vergonet’s front door, providing access to her front yard, sidewalk and driveway.

“I’m still in shock about it,” she said. “I have no words that come close to describing how grateful I am to them.”

Each year, the health department receives a federal grant of about $1,000 to help a local senior with home repairs.

Typically, the small grant is enough to help only one local senior. Vergonet was this year’s grant recipient, said Deb Wyeth, Senior Program coordinator for the health department.

“She was homebound, and we definitely saw the need,” Wyeth said.

The grant alone could not pay for a new ramp, which can

Simple tasks such as letting Buddy outside became difficult for Vergonet when she began using a wheelchair in December.

cost several thousand dollars.

Without volunteer labor from the First Christian Church, the project would not have been possible.

As a lifelong Catholic

and member of Immaculate Conception Parish, Vergonet was “amazed” that another local church was willing to help someone outside of their congregation.

“I want to thank each and every member of that church.

They don’t care about race, or creed, or anything. They just help,” she said.

Helping strangers is nothing new for First Christian Church member Jamie

Bradley, one of several First Christian churchgoers involved in the community outreach ministry known as “Project 25.”

Since Project 25 began last year, the church has fed local students, provided transportation to prisoners and completed improvement projects for a number of local homes and businesses, Bradley said.

“What we wanted to do was reach out to the community, help existing agencies in the community and help ministries that are already there instead of trying to create some of our own,” he said.

The coordination between nonprofits and the health department is something administrator Phil Jass is working hard to facilitate.

Jass said the health department, seeing great need in the community but having limited resources, is trying to partner with local churches, community groups and charities to fill in service gaps.

“We don’t want to duplicate services. We want to maximize our resources from the county and use it the best way we can,” Jass said. “We don’t want to reinvent the wheel. We just want to add to it.”

Wyeth said many local seniors, like Vergonet, are confined to their homes without ramp accessibility and they need assistance. It’s help the health department can’t always provide.

Partnerships such as the one with First Christian help bridge the gap, Wyeth said.

Tuesday morning, Vergonet smiled as she practiced maneuvering on her new ramp, something she is still getting used to.

“I could go all the way to the end of my driveway, if I wanted,” she said. “Nothing can stop me now.”

and hired additional nurse case managers,” Schlappy wrote.

“Since 2010, we have seen a 28 percent decline in readmissions,” the statement read.

Moving forward Danny Chun, spokesman for the Illinois Hospital Association, said the association is working with hospitals to reduce preventable readmissions.

He said 100 hospitals reduced admissions by nearly 16,000 from January 2012 to March of this year, representing a 20 percent reduction.

IHA officials want to change the policy to address challenges within certain demographics, Chun said.

He pointed to legislative efforts at the federal level.

Senate Bill 2501 calls for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to include certain socioeconomic factors such as education, income levels and poverty rates in the federal government’s

own Hospital Readmission Reduction Program’s risk adjustment formula.

Chun said IHA officials hope to achieve similar policy adjustments at the state level, because oftentimes, hospitals hit hardest with penalties serve a higher percentage of low-income individuals or patients with complex medical conditions.

Tabrina Davis, spokeswoman for the Presence Health, which includes the Joliet hospital, said the system includes safety-net hospitals that treat low-income patients and those with very complex conditions, including behavioral health issues.

Such factors can lead to higher readmission rates, she said.

“Social disparities and clinical complexity vary among communities and hospitals, and the current measurement systems are not yet able to account for the complexity of these key factors,” Davis said.

• Sunday, September 14, 2014

The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services announced this month that it will collect more than $16 million from hospitals in penalties for what the state considers preventable patient readmissions.

Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox owes $14,245 for not reducing the number of potentially preventable readmissions, according to state data.

That is on the low end among the 82 hospitals being penalized.

Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospi-

tal, and Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers do not have to pay penalties.

The department said in a news release that the policy “requires hospitals to review their discharge planning and post-discharge care to ensure patients aren’t being discharged too quickly.”

The penalty is part of a state program initiated more than a year ago. The program has recouped $5.6 million in penalties through hospital payment reductions.

The state determined 147 hospitals had “unacceptable” levels of preventable readmissions, while 65 of them enacted measures that lowered that level to avoid the penalty.

Janet Long, spokeswoman for Morris Hospital, said hospital officials did not have

a comment on the state’s policy. They generally support initiatives that improve care and reduce costs for patients, she said.

At Morris Hospital, teams of medical professionals are working to prepare patients for post-treatment care, she said. The hospital collaborates with nursing homes and other health care agencies to improve a patient’s transition after they complete treatment, she said.

“I’m sure that if you asked other hospitals, they are all doing these same things,” Long said.

In a statement issued by Silver Cross, David Schlappy, vice president for quality and medical staff services at Silver Cross, wrote: “Even before the government mandates our staff has been focusing on our patients’ needs not just while they are in the hospital but also after discharge.”

“We have implemented a transitional care program

Our lives go on without you, but nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartaches when someone speaks your name, Sad are the hearts that love you, silent the tears that fall, living our hearts without you is the hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true, and when we needed someone we could always count on you.

The special years will not return when we were all together,

ROUNDUP News from across the state

Chicago alderman challenging Emanuel for mayor

CHICAGO – A Chicago alderman announced Saturday he’ll challenge Mayor Rahm Emanuel in 2015, saying the city deserves a leader who looks out for everyday people and not just downtown businesses and the wealthy.

Bob Fioretti, a frequent critic of Emanuel, ripped the former White House chief of staff for closing some 50 neighborhood schools in predominantly minority neighborhoods and cutting public-employee pensions. He also said Emanuel is not doing enough to stop city violence that has left too many families grieving.

“I love Chicago and I can’t stand by while the current mayor looks out for some of us, but ignores the real struggles some families face – for good jobs, for good schools, for safe streets,”

Fioretti, a civil rights attorney and member of the City Council’s progressive caucus, told several hundred cheering supporters at a downtown college.

A spokesman for Emanuel shot back, saying Fioretti has “shown no backbone for making tough choices and little respect for Chicago taxpayers’ pocketbooks.”

Medical marijuana law sponsor defends secret bids

SPRINGFIELD – The state lawmaker who sponsored Illinois’ medical marijuana law said it bars the release of information about those applying to grow and sell the drug to prevent the state officials who review the applications from being influenced by political connections.

State Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, said Friday that the law’s confidentiality clause also prevents companies from getting information about competitors that could give them an advantage, The Southern Illinoisan reported.

“The idea was to keep this not secret in the sense of lack of transparency, but secret to keep

the process pure,” Lang said.

Government watchdog groups expressed concern that keeping applicant names secret would make it harder to determine if politically connected companies had received preferential treatment. Several companies hired lobbyists, including a former chief of staff to Gov. Pat Quinn and a former state police director, to help them through the process.

Hundreds of workers on strike at Lear Corp. plant

INDIANAPOLIS – Hundreds of workers protesting what some are calling fast-food-like wages walked off the job Saturday at a Lear Corp. plant in northwest Indiana that makes automotive seats, beginning a strike that could affect a major Ford assembly plant in Chicago.

The Hammond, Indiana, plant employs 760 workers making seats for the Explorer and Taurus models produced at Ford’s Chicago Assembly Plant. The Ford plant could be vulnerable to any serious supply chain disruption because it operates on a just-in-time basis,

meaning it receives parts sometimes just hours before installing them in vehicles rather than warehousing them on site.

Saturday’s strike shut down the Lear plant, according to a statement from the United Auto Workers. All the plant’s workers walked off the job after two months of contract negotiations.

About 200 workers were walking the picket line Saturday, said UAW Local 2335 Vice President Hanif Hassan.

U.S. awards $12M to Illinois health centers

SPRINGFIELD – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded $11.7 million in funding to community health centers across Illinois, Sen. Dick Durbin announced Friday.

The money is available through the Affordable Care Act. It will be used to hire additional health care workers, hire new care providers and allow the facilities to stay open for longer hours.

Durbin said the community health centers serve an important purpose for Illinois families. He

said with the federal resources Illinois health centers can “continue to improve the care and critical services they offer those in need throughout the state.”

Durbin said the grants will support 78,815 new patients and expand outreach and enrollment assistance efforts as more Illinois residents are able to take advantage of coverage through the health care reform law.

Freshmen enrollment drops at U. of Illinois

CHAMPAIGN – Freshman enrollment at the University of Illinois’s flagship campus is down this semester by 5.4 percent from a year ago, according to the school.

The freshman class enrolled this fall at the Urbana-Champaign campus has 6,937 students.

That’s down from 7,331 in fall 2013. The record high was 7,583 in 2005.

The university didn’t provide a reason for the drop, but noted without details the percentage of students who are accepted to the university is down.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Crews battle California wildfire amid heat wave SANTA ANA, Calif. – Hundreds of firefighters battled both flames and triple-digit temperatures Saturday as they sought to contain a wildfire that forced people to flee about 30 homes near Southern California’s Cleveland National Forest.

The fire, which burned through about 2½ square miles of dry canyon brush, was only about 10 percent contained Saturday, said Deanne Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Emergency Operations Center.

Meanwhile, both heat and smoke advisories were in effect for the area, with temperatures forecast to reach as high as 105 degrees between Saturday and Tuesday.

Rescuers end ocean search for Navy pilot LEMOORE, Calif. – Rescuers on Saturday called off their search of the Pacific Ocean for a Navy fighter pilot whose jet was one of two that crashed west of Wake Island.

The Navy said Saturday that it presumes the pilot was dead after failing to find him during a 36-hour search. The Navy declined to release the pilot’s name pending notification of his family.

The Navy said the crash is under investigation and didn’t release any more details.

The two F/A-18C Hornets crashed about 5:40 p.m. local

time about 250 miles west of Wake Island. The island is 2,300 miles west of Honolulu.

The other pilot safely ejected, was rescued from the ocean by helicopter and was treated and released from medical facilities aboard the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson.

The pilots and their squadron are from Carrier Air Wing 17 based at Naval Air Station Lemoore in California’s San Joaquin Valley.

Will Apple’s digital wallet kill the card swipe?

NEW YORK – Apple wants the plastic credit card to become as rare as the paper check.

On Tuesday, the company announced Apple Pay, a digital payment system that lets people pay for retail store purchases using their phones rather than cash or credit cards. The service, which will work both with iPhones and Apple’s new Watch, is backed by a host of big retailers, along with most major banks and credit card issuers, including Visa, MasterCard and American Express.

So-called contactless payment isn’t new. Starbucks, McDonald’s, PayPal, Google and Square offer their own services, but only a small portion of customers use them. Some experts believe Apple Pay – with its presence on millions of iPhones and its advanced security features – could be the service that leads to widespread adoption of the digital wallet.

Pa. State Police identify trooper killed in ambush

By MICHAEL RUBINKAM The Associated Press BLOOMING GROVE, Pa. – A late-night ambush outside a state police barracks in Pennsylvania’s rural northeastern corner left one trooper dead and another critically wounded, and authorities scoured the densely wooded countryside and beyond Saturday looking for the shooter or shooters.

State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said a “very dangerous, armed criminal” eluded quick capture.

“This attack was an ambush. Our troopers were ... shot without warning and really had no chance to defend themselves,” Noonan told reporters Saturday afternoon.

“It’s a cowardly attack. It’s an attack upon all of us in society.”

The dead lawman was identified as Cpl. Bryon Dickson of Dunmore, a seven-year veteran who had transferred to the region from the Philadelphia barracks several months ago.

Trooper Alex Douglass underwent surgery and was in critical but stable condition, Noonan said.

He provided few details

on the shooting but said the attack was directed at state police. Law enforcement installations throughout eastern Pennsylvania were put on high alert.

“It has touched us to the core that such a thing could happen,” Noonan said.

The slain trooper was married with two young sons. He was described by friends as devoted to work and family.

“They were a committed couple,” Melissa Contorno, a friend of Dickson’s wife, told The Scranton Times-Tribune.

“They were raising a beautiful young family. ... It’s not fair.”

Police interviewed a man they called a “person of interest,” but Noonan said authorities are talking to hundreds of people as part of the investigation. He stressed the man is not a suspect.

The troopers were ambushed around 10:50 p.m. Friday as one of them was leaving the barracks in Blooming Grove, Pike County, and another was arriving. The barracks is in a wooded area, surrounded by state game lands.

Law enforcement officials from across the region, including New York and New Jersey, descended on the Po-

cono Mountains to help with the search on foot and by helicopter.

“There has been exhaustive search conducted by hundreds of members of law enforcement,” said Lt. Colonel George Bivens. “We have canvassed the wooded areas, neighborhoods. We are convinced this individual is no longer in that immediate area.”

Several roads around the barracks, including parts of Interstate 84, were closed Saturday. Blooming Grove is a township of about 4,000 people about 35 miles east of Scranton.

Trooper Adam Reed, a state police spokesman, said the barracks covers most of Pike County, which runs along the Delaware River and borders New Jersey and New York.

“There’s a lot of rural area up where they patrol,” he said.

“As the primary police force in the county, they’re going to respond to anything and everything.”

Gov. Tom Corbett ordered all Pennsylvania flags at state facilities to fly at half-staff and said he was praying for the slain trooper’s family as well as the injured colleague.

There was an enormous uproar. The NFL suspended Rice and the Baltimore Ravens cut him from the team. Many predict he may never play in the NFL again.

“We saw video, and then we demanded justice,” sports broadcaster Dan Patrick said on his program.

“Until you have that video, it’s ‘Oh, really, that happened?’ ” Patrick said.

A similar dynamic was recently evident concerning the Islamic State group, whose crimes were well documented yet provoked little international action until two videos were released of American journalists being decapitated. On Wednesday, President Barack

Police have said there are at least eight alleged victims.

In the letter to Holder, Douglas wrote that details of the allegations against Holtzclaw “raise potentially serious concerns, particularly because it may be part of a continuing pattern of police brutality, misconduct, corruption and the use of excessive force and the use of deadly force by this police officer against unarmed African Americans.”

Douglas said in the letter that he applauded Oklahoma City police for investigating and

arresting Holtzclaw, but hopes federal officials will expand the investigation and look at its civil rights ramifications.

He urged the officials to not only look at Holtzclaw’s case but also into “the potential for any pattern or practice of police misconduct by the Oklahoma City Police Department.” Douglas did not immediately respond to calls from The Associated Press seeking further comment Saturday.

Holtzclaw is listed as being Asian or Pacific Islander in court records. His attorney, Scott Adams, has said Holtzclaw denies

“As citizens, we’re in the digital age now, so things are different. In previous generations, we didn’t necessarily have access to this type of private information. Now there is so much available to the public, and we treat it like evidence.”

Obama announced a military response that includes U.S. missile strikes and ground troops from other nations.

“It is very, very scary that we could go to war over two videos,” said Robert Thompson, a professor of popular culture at Syracuse University.

“Words are abstractions, and pictures are a presentation of the thing itself,” he said. “On some level, we are probably wired to be much more responsive to something we see.”

Which can be a good thing, Thompson said, citing images that turned the course of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War and the 1960s civil rights movement – Vietnam photos of an execution and a fleeing girl, her clothes burnt off by napalm, or film of African-American protesters being battered by fire hoses and bitten by dogs.

There are stories that command attention without sensational video, such as Edward Snowden’s leaked documents.

There is national outrage over the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, though there is no video of the fatal shots. And when there is video, it can be interpreted in different ways, such as the Rodney King police beating tape.

But television is the most popular way people get their news, followed by computers, according to a 2014 study by the Media Insight Project. On television, news can be elevated or ignored depending on

how “dramatic” the video is – regardless of whether or not the news itself is important.

The exploding online culture, with its insatiable thirst for clicks, has magnified the value placed on images that hit an emotional nerve.

The Rice video was in some ways “the smoking gun,” said Todd Boyd, a scholar of popular culture at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Before the recording emerged of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racist remarks, Boyd had been blogging for 10 years about widely reported evidence of Sterling’s racist behavior in his real estate business. Sterling settled a housing discrimination case with the government, but few protests were raised until the recording came out.

“A lot of these recordings, Donald Sterling, Ray Rice, in some ways it’s like evidence in a courtroom,” Boyd said “As citizens, we’re in the digital age now, so things are different. In previous generations, we didn’t necessarily have access to this type of private information. Now there is so much available to the public, and we treat it like evidence.”

He said that people now expect to see some sort of evidence connected to a news story.

“This has become part of the experience,” Boyd said.

We only respond if there’s video.

That’s one lesson that can be drawn from the belated reaction to football player Ray Rice knocking out his fiancee in an elevator. Rice was arrested back in February, and in July was suspended for two games. But once video of the actual punch surfaced this week, he was banned indefinitely.

Time and again, we are informed of outrages – Rice’s domestic violence; beheadings and rape by the fanatics calling themselves the Islamic State; Donald Sterling’s racism; abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib – but only grow outraged and force action when video or audio or images emerge.

How many injustices get short shrift because nobody’s recorder was rolling?

“It’s frustrating,” said Valenda Campbell, who is in charge of creating video and photo images for CARE, one of the world’s largest humanitarian organizations.

Campbell and her colleagues at Atlanta-based CARE call it the “CNN effect”: when TV cameras arrive at a crisis, donations start pouring in.

“We have a responsibility to help one another. Every day we see these emergencies, and nobody seems to be aware of them,” said Campbell, whose

organization is now responding to humanitarian crises in South Sudan, Syria, the Central African Republic and Gaza.

She has learned to work within this reality. Her job as senior manager for marketing and creative services is to document images of disaster and injustice – and the healing that follows – which help generate the funds CARE needs to provide assistance.

“It always goes back to the old adage that seeing is believing,” Campbell said.

“We are visual beings, and more and more this is a visual culture,” she continued. “Seeing things provides more information and puts a human face on whatever the situation is, and helps people relate on a much more personal level to what’s going on.”

In the Rice case, video was released Feb. 19 of the Baltimore Ravens running back dragging his unconscious fiancee, Janay Palmer, out of a casino elevator, after what police described as an altercation.

Rice, who married Palmer the following month, was charged with assault, which carried a penalty of up to five years behind bars. Charges were later dropped when Rice entered a pretrial intervention program. The NFL suspended him for two games, there was widespread criticism of the penalty as too light – and we moved on.

Obama condemns beheading of Briton The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Saturday condemned as a “barbaric murder” the slaying of British aid worker David Haines by Islamic State extremists.

Haines was abducted last year in Syria, and extremists released a video Saturday showing his beheading.

In a statement issued Saturday night, Obama said the hearts of Americans go out to Haines’ family and the people of the United Kingdom.

“The United States stands shoulder to shoulder tonight with our close friend and ally in grief and resolve,” Obama said.

“We will work with the United Kingdom and a broad coalition of nations from the region and around the world to bring the perpetrators of this outrageous act to justice, and to degrade and destroy this threat to the people of our countries, the region and the world,” he said.

In his statement, Obama repeated the pledge he made Wednesday night in a nationally televised address in which he laid out a strategy to respond to the threat from the Islamic State group, which is referred to at times as ISIL. “Our objective is clear,” he told the nation earlier this week. “We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a com-

prehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy.”

The U.S. began attacking the extremist group with airstrikes in Iraq last month.

Since then, the extremists have beheaded two American journalists held captive in Syria, James Foley and Steven Sotloff.

As part of the effort against the Islamic State group, Secretary of State John Kerry formally announced Saturday that retired Marine Gen. John Allen was joining the State Department as a special presidential envoy to coordinate the international coalition. Allen worked with international allies as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan from 2011-2013.

Ukraine government repels rebel attack on airport The ASSOCIATED PRESS LUHANSK, Ukraine – A convoy of more than 200 white trucks crossed the Russian border to deliver humanitarian aid to a battered Ukrainian city on Saturday, a move made without Kiev’s consent yet met with silence by Ukraine’s top leaders.

“Early in the morning, we entered Ukraine to bring aid to Luhansk,” said Yury Stepanov, a Russian who was overseeing the convoy. “We came in around 215 vehicles,” he added, as workers unloaded boxes into a local warehouse.

The much-needed aid arrived as fighting flared again between pro-Russian rebels and government forces, further imperiling an already fragile cease-fire in the region.

On Saturday, Ukraine’s military operation in the east said it had repelled a rebel attack on the government-held airport of Donetsk, which came under artillery fire from rebel positions late on Friday. Ukrainian

authorities also admitted for the first time since the ceasefire started last week that they have inflicted casualties on the rebel side.

Continuous rocket fire could be heard overnight in Donetsk. A statement on the city council website said that shells hit residential buildings near the airport, although no casualties were reported. A column of three Grad rocket launchers – all its rockets still in place – was seen moving freely through the rebel-held city on Saturday morning.

In the other regional capital of Luhansk, one of the worst-hit cities where tens of thousands have been without water, electricity, or phone connections for weeks, the streets were calm as Russian drivers unloaded aid packages into local warehouses.

Stepanov said the goods consisted mainly of foodstuffs – rice, sugar, and canned fish and beef – but also included medicine, technical equipment and clothes. The deliveries were in

closed boxes, small enough to be easily carried by one person, but rice was seen spilling from a broken bag.

Inside the warehouse, an Associated Press journalist saw water bottles carrying the logo of Russia’s LDPR party, led by virulent nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

While dozens of local workers unloaded boxes, several carloads of armed militiamen in camouflage arrived to inspect the scene.

Stepanov said his team was responsible only for delivery, and distribution will be handled by local authorities – which for now means the separatist leaders of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic. Luhansk shows deep scars of an unsuccessful, weeks-long shelling campaign by government troops. The government had regained growing swathes of territory from the separatists over several weeks, but a major rebel counteroffensive beginning in late August halted and reversed that trend.

Supporters listen to Member of Parliament and Shadow Secretary of State for International Development, Jim Murphy, speaking in support of the Union on Saturday, the final day of his 100 Streets in 100 Days Better Together tour in Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow, Scotland. Scotland will vote in an independence referendum on Sept. 18.

Scots nationalists tell opponents: No grudges

By PAUL KELBIE The Associated Press GLASGOW, Scotland – Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond has sought to calm fears that there would be repercussions against opponents of independence if the Yes campaign wins the upcoming referendum.

“The day after a Yes vote there will cease to be a No campaign and Yes campaign – only Team Scotland. We will approach the success of Yes with magnanimity to all,” Salmond said Saturday.

He spoke after former Scottish National Party deputy leader Jim Sillars told supporters there would be “a day of reckoning with BP and the banks” after the oil company and financial institutions voiced warnings this week over independence.

Saturday marked the

biggest day of political campaigning Scotland has seen, including a peaceful march of 15,000 pro-unionists through Edinburgh and 35,000 Yes volunteers staging events across the country.

Polls suggest the race is extremely close ahead of Thursday’s vote, which will determine whether Scotland remains part of the United Kingdom or becomes an independent country in 18 months.

The heads of several major retail chains warned Saturday that shoppers in Scotland would face higher prices if it becomes an independent country. In a joint letter published in the Daily Record, the chiefs of Marks and Spencer, B&Q and Timpson said their experience in trading across national borders shows there is always an increase in red tape and costs.

Tired of being nickeled & dimed

Bad biotech and IT Fine Skin expands into New Lenox recommendations The HERALD–NEWS

Dear Mr. Berko: I have $10,000 to invest for a two- to three-year time frame and want to invest aggressively in a biotechnology issue and an information technology issue.

Our Ameriprise broker has carefully researched and recommended three IT stocks – Nimble Storage, Cornerstone OnDemand and GT Advanced Technologies – and three biotech stocks: Agios Pharmaceuticals, NPS Pharmaceuticals and Synageva BioPharma. He has sent us the latest reports on each, as well as the names of mutual funds that own them and how many shares they own.

To reduce my risks, would you help me select the best of the three IT stocks and the best of the three biotech stocks? – RT, Indianapolis Dear RT: No! Your brokerage is not recognized for its skilled stock research. Rather, Ameriprise Financial (AMP$125.59) is best-known for its selling skills and expertise in peddling some 4,000 load mutual funds, life insurance policies and annuity products.

Aided by the vast ignorance, gullibility and greed of the average investor, AMP does this so well that I’d sooner invest in the shares of AMP than I would in any of those recommended issues. In the past decade, this smartly profitable selling organization has increased revenues by 50 percent, to $11.5 billion, while doubling net income to $1.4 billion.

During that time, AMP’s dividend has zoomed impressively to $2.26 a share as the stock has increased fourfold in value. And the well-liked chairman and CEO, Jim Cracchiolo, who earned $88 million last year, has done a yeoman’s job of running this very impressive financial sales company.

I believe that those six picks were derived from a list of Goldman Sachs recommendations and are the work of David Kostin. Kostin, who

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko has been with Goldman for 20 years, is the company’s chief U.S. equity strategist (whatever that means), and he’s good enough to have made partner.

I follow Kostin’s recommendations (and those of other analysts, too) sort of like how a baseball fan follows the pitching and batting records of various players. Kostin is usually a keen analyst. I’m surprised at the pathetic quality of those recommendations.

Even my Ouija board could select better stocks in this record-setting stock market.

During the past two decades, Wall Street has aggressively fostered, aided and abetted an insidious and burgeoning investment philosophy that earnings never matter. Because there’s so much cheap cash floating in our financial hyper-sphere, the Street’s buccaneers sneer at the time-tested metrics of skilled management and earnings growth to grow shareholder value.

This breed has successfully adopted the “greater fool theory:” Buy a junk stock that’s being promoted by Wall Street. When there is a quick gain, immediately sell it to a fool, who in a couple of weeks will sell it at a profit to a bigger fool, who will sell at a profit to an even bigger fool.

This continues until there are no fools left to hold the bag you held. This game is also called “musical fools.”

Instead, consider investing $5,000 in the no-load Fidelity Biotechnology Portfolio (FBIOX) and $5,000 in Fidelity Software and Computer Services Portfolio (FSCSX).

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

Honor our nation’s anthem

B

esides maybe baseball and apple pie, is there anything more infused with America’s values and patriotism than “The Star-Spangled Banner”?

The country’s national anthem turns 200 this weekend.

The song – notoriously hard to sing because it spans one and a half octaves – is considered sacred by many.

Just consider how proud we feel when we hear it, say, during the Olympics after an American has received a gold medal.

It’s hard to not tear up when you see an American at the top of the medal platform and hear the familiar first notes start to play.

Or consider the reaction listeners have when someone bungles the anthem (sadly, there are too many examples of this to pick just one awful version).

It was written in 1814 by Georgetown lawyer Francis Scott Key, who “witnessed the 25-hour bombardment of Fort McHenry from a British troopship anchored some four miles away,” according

Although, on the other hand, maybe only singing the first verse, with the flag’s future left in doubt, is a form of encouragement to constantly force citizens to answer that question for themselves.

A reading of the remaining three stanzas show the flag was still flying despite the bombardments, and extol the joy the writer felt at seeing the star-spangled banner waving Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com through the smoke and confuJoliet West student Alexis Smith, 16, sings “The Star-Spangled Banner” sion war brings. during a Race Fan Rally held Thursday in Joliet.

Obama’s strategy on ISIS On the eve of the 13th anniversary of the horrific attacks on U.S. soil, President Barack Obama outlined his administration’s strategy to meet the challenge that Islamic State (also known as ISIS) poses to the Middle East, our allies and our homeland.

This is an evolving, morphing threat, which requires Obama to be smart and adaptable. The president’s counter-terrorism plan has four prime objectives: 1. No safe haven for ISIS. “This is a core principle of my presidency: If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven,” the president said. This involves air strikes wherever ISIS operates.

2. Increase support to those allies with boots on the ground. Obama asked Congress “to provide additional authorities and resources to train and equip these fighters.”

3. Use every resource at our disposal, and find new ones. “We will redouble efforts to cut off its funding, improve our intelligence, strengthen our defenses; counter its warped ideology, and stem the flow of foreign fighters into – and out of – the Middle East.”

4. Continue to provide military cover and humanitarian support for civilians, including ethnic and religious minorities. That

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

THANK YOU FOR THE PICNIC

RESPOND NOW WITH FIRMNESS

To the Editor: I would like to thank the St. Pat’s Neighborhood Association for the wonderful picnic that was held Aug. 23 at Spieler Park.

During most of the picnic the rain stayed away so everyone could enjoy all the delicious free food, games, raffles, door prizes, pinatas, the Chicago White Sox South Paw, neighborhood police officers K-9 unit and fire trucks.

President Carol Ann Heinemann and her committee did a great job. I would be remiss if I didn’t thank the Joliet Park District for setting up the large tent, all the picnic tables, waste receptacles, and whatever was needed to make this another yearly successful picnic for the St. Pat’s area.

To the Editor: During the first and second World Wars it took us too long to respond, possibly because the Europeans weren’t tied deeply to the United States. Suddenly, when the Nazis brutally annihilated millions of innocent people and invaded France, heading toward England, we acted. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, we began to react.

Recently we experienced 9/11, and although reacting, it was slow and didn’t do the job.

More recently, in Benghazi we talked and slowly offered some response, but insufficient. Now two Americans are beheaded and we drop some bombs. It’s not the appropriate response.

We know that when a grave injustice is done, an immediate,

ISIS a bigger threat to West than al-Qaida • BRAZILE Continued from page 34 includes Shia and Sunni Muslims, Christians, Kurds and religious minorities like the Yazidis.

ISIS is not composed of your average terrorists. They are so extreme that al-Qaida threw them out. Their aim is to abolish the centuries-old system of nation-states, and replace it with a super-state, run by themselves.

If ISIS succeeds, there will no longer be an Iraq or a Syria – or if they grow very strong, an Egypt, Jordan and who knows what else. The ancient cultures of these states will be gone. There will only be an expanding caliphate.

Their forces are estimated to be between 8,000 to 20,000 fighters. Approximately 3,000 of ISIS’s fighters come from Western countries.

“Any plots or attacks in the West will thus more likely emanate from [ISIS] than from al-Qaida,” writes Aaron Y. Zelin, a counterterrorist expert with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Indeed, the

biggest irony of the 13th anniversary of 9/11 is that ISIS has eclipsed al-Qaida, a still viable organization, but one that is sluggish and degraded in large part because of U.S. action.

Right now there is bad blood between ISIS and al-Qaida, but we cannot rule out the possibility of their setting aside differences and rejoining forces. Even so, ISIS has a genetic flaw. It infamously can’t get along – for long, anyway – with anyone. It is competitive, and inspires terrorist competitors who wind up fighting one another.

Obama is reluctant to act alone to address ISIS’s threat, and reluctant to commit American troops without an exit strategy. These are sound principles; the American people agree with these principles. They understand that ISIS poses a real security threat, but they support military action only to a certain point. If the American people believed differently about military action, this would be President McCain’s second term or President Romney’s first term.

We often forget that

President George H.W. Bush acted deliberately before taking military action against Saddam Hussein in 1991 after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, and that President George W. Bush acted deliberately before taking military action against the Taliban in Afghanistan after 9/11.

Obama is doing what he needs to do: building a coalition of NATO allies, other allies and regional partners to defeat ISIS. It is essential to defeat ISIS in a way that will marginalize it, not martyrize it. The coalition needs to include Middle Eastern nations, and it needs to include Sunnis as well as Shiites.

We need a strategy that acknowledges an actual threat, makes concrete actions to address it, and includes our allies in the region. The president has laid out such a strategy. Now, it’s time for Congress to act.

To the Editor: As a frequent user of Interstate 80’s Chicago Street exit, I am aware of two challenges which have arisen recently.

First is the inadequacy of the exit/entrance ramps for the exit.

Trucks attempting to exit block those attempting to enter I-80.

I have been actually stopped on the ramp as multiple trucks cut over to exit. This is unlikely to be resolved by a toll bridge at Houbolt. Why pay when a free route is a few exits away or closer?

Second is the interruption of funeral processions exiting I-80 to go south on Chicago Street/ Route 53, perhaps to Abraham Lincoln. The funeral display sign is on the passenger side of cars so not visible to those proceeding south from McDonough. The traffic light changes so drivers continue oblivious to mourners.

Meanwhile, mourners are lost from the funeral procession.

This is not a very welcoming experience for mourning visitors to Will County.

What, if anything, is being done to address these problems?

Sincerely,

measured, but appropriate response is needed in order to stem future inappropriate behavior.

We can bomb all continually, but unfortunately, we need boots on the ground to complete the task. Two thousand Special Forces (Marines, Rangers, and SEALs), plus several thousands of support troops could, hopefully, do the job if you give the military a green light without political interference.

Turkey needs to allow us to bring in troops, supplies and supply a safe field for fighter aircraft and bombers. Give the Syrian Army 30 days to turn over the 1000+ plus ISIS forces to us or get out of the way and/ or contain them so we can use saturated bombing to get the job done. The Iraqi rebels should be told, either help us or get out of our way. That leaves us, the Kurds, and the Turks, plus other countries that want to join us to neutralize ISIS, once and for all.

We need to act now firmly, and leave no doubt that if you hurt an American and/or its interests, you suffer our wrath, not our words.

Hendrick and Penske drivers among favorites

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Over 14 years, Chicagoland Speedway has evolved from a track with one groove to a racy 1.52-mile oval that permits passing entering the corners.

One thing has not changed: the need for superior power.

For all the aerodynamics on modern-day stock cars, having more power than the guy chasing you permits you to carry more speed into and out of the corners.

This year, the engines in the cars of Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske have proved to be more powerful.

Chevrolet-powered Hendrick has defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson; Jeff Gordon, winner at Michigan a month ago; Kasey Kahne, winner at Atlanta two weeks ago; and Dale Earnhardt Jr., winner at Pocono five weeks ago, in his stable.

Penske, with Fords under the hood, has the 1-2 punch of Brad Keselowski, last week’s winner at Richmond, and Joey Logano, who triumphed at Bristol three weeks ago.

Those six drivers are the ones to bet on in Sunday’s first race in the NASCAR’s playoff series. All are among the 16 in the Chase for the Championship and only Kahne, seeded 11th based on the first 26 races of the season, isn’t in the top five.

“When I go through my favorites and pick out my top four or five cars, they are Hendrick vehicles and Penske vehicles,” Johnson said after Friday’s practice session for the MyAFibStory.com 400.

This is not to say the upcoming 43-car tangle will be a six-car race.

Friday’s practice session, the only one before rain canceled qualifying, was a jumble, with Johnson seventh,

“Having a good time in practice means a lot, but there are a lot of good things that have to happen in the race.”

Kyle Busch

Brad Keselowski drives his car Saturday during final practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race in Joliet. Keselowski was last week’s winner at Richmond.

Gordon eighth, Earnhardt 13th, Kahne 19th, Keselowski 25th and Logano 28th.

That’s where they will start Sunday. Chase-eligible Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing was first with a best lap of 191.442 mph and will lead the field as the pole-sitter.

“Having a good time in practice means a lot, but there

are a lot of good things that have to happen in the race,” Busch said.

Neither Busch nor the rest of the field is prepared to yield to the favored six.

“We want to win this race and lock ourselves into the next round this weekend,” said Carl Edwards, seeded seventh for Roush Fenway Rac-

ing and starting third. “That’s our goal.”

The new format for the playoffs will trim the field of championship-eligible drivers from 16 to 12 after three races, then from 12 to eight after three more, with only four left for the final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November. Winning a race in any stage advances that driver to the next stage.

Johnson has won six series titles, including five straight from 2006 through 2010.

He’s fourth in the standings behind Keselowski, Gordon and Earnhardt entering the 10-week grind. That might be the perfect place to be. It’s better than where he started

last year’s playoff.

“We had a terrible run of races leading into the Chase, got off to a good start and obviously won the championship,” Johnson recalled. “Over the 10 races, a lot can happen. With the format changing as dramatically as it has ... really, you just need to be hot toward the end, if not really hot in one race.”

Keselowski, who won the 2012 title, plans to keep it simple.

“My strategy is to go out and win each and every race, and if you can’t get the best finish you can,” Keselowski said.

Along with finishing high, not making a mistake that could hamper your chances is high on the to-do list. An accident or engine failure could make a point deficit difficult to make up in the following two races, except by winning.

“Until now, we didn’t have anything to lose,” Logano said. “Now we have something to lose.”

And, perhaps, the power to make up for an error.

NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES: FREAKY FAST 300

Harvick nabs 3rd Speedway win “We didn’t want to get buried in the back of the pack. It was either stay out or take two. Then I heard the 54 [Busch] was going to take four.

That made sure we’d take two.”

Claims lead by skipping 2 new tires

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – There’s something about Kevin Harvick and Chicagoland Speedway.

He won the first two big races on the oval, back when it was called the Tropicana 400. He’s had several other high finishes in Sprint Cup competition.

Saturday, he added a third Nationwide Series victory at the track to his portfolio, following successes in 2005 and 2007.

After Kyle Busch dominated the first three-quarters of the 200-lap race, Harvick took advantage of a great pit strategy – two tires rather than four – to hold off Kyle Larson and Busch over the last 40 laps of the 14th Jimmy John’s Freaky Fast 300 before about 15,000 spectators.

“That’s the call that won us the race,” Harvick said of the strategy concocted by crew chief Ernie Cope. “We were running faster on two new tires than on four.”

Normally, that isn’t the case. But Harvick, after taking the lead from pole-sitter Brian Scott on lap 161, stayed at the front. Larson moved to second after the final caution, moving Aric Almirola to third.

Busch was bounced back from first to 16th after his stop, which, aside from being a four-tire visit, was slow, but worked his way up to third.

He could get no closer. Larson, who couldn’t catch Harvick, nonetheless provided an aerodynamic shield for the No. 5 car.

“Any time I got behind the second-place car, I knocked the wall down,” Busch said.

“Aero issues. Four [tires] was the wrong call.”

Busch could get no closer than 2.2 seconds in arrears of Harvick on the final lap, with Larson 2.109 seconds back in second.

Ernie Cope Crew chief for Kevin Harvick

Kevin Harvick celebrates with his crew after winning the NASCAR Nationwide Series Freaky Fast 300 race on Saturday at Chicagoland Speedway.

Harvick said he had a plan to keep Busch at bay if necessary.

“If he did catch me, at least I could pin him to the bottom of the track,” Harvick said, noting his Chevrolet’s better handling. “Luckily, we never

got to that.”

Cope made the call on a twotire change, leaving the old left-side tires on, based on how well Harvick was running, and the heavy traffic.

“There were 23 cars on the lead lap,” Cope said. “I decid-

ed to put two on and they were going to have to pass us. We didn’t want to get buried in the back of the pack. It was either stay out or take two. Then I heard the 54 [Busch] was going to take four. That made sure we’d take two.”

And Harvick did what Busch had done on the start. He ran away like a rabbit.

“Get as far away from the 54 as you can and get to the front as fast as you can,” Harvick said. “I worried he’d go to the outside and get half the spots back in one corner.”

Busch made up six places in two laps and was back to eighth when the last caution was called, for the comprehensive detonation of Denny Hamlin’s engine. That neither hurt nor helped Harvick or Busch in the long run.

Until Jeremy Clements blew an engine with 49 laps to go, Busch was sailing along, his Toyota-powered Joe Gibbs Racing entry the class of the field.

He took the lead on the sixth lap, and surrendered it only in the first lap or two after restarts. Then it was Busch again, leading by two and three seconds, and easily working his way through traffic until the yellow waved again.

It was more a parade than a race. But then Clements had his misfortune entering Turn 3 and Busch’s apple cart was upset. So was he, muttering as he left the interview area, apparently because there were too few questions to him.

Meanwhile, Harvick was in the top three most of the day, and had grabbed the lead for three laps earlier, until Busch rumbled by. But the reverse was true at the finish.

Ty Dillon was the highest-finishing series regular, in seventh. Nationwide Series leader Chase Elliott finished 10th.

NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES: LUCAS OIL 225

Sails through last 17 laps after Nationwide loss

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent

• Sunday, September 14, 2014

JOLIET – Skunked in his earlier race, Kyle Busch made the second race of the day count.

He drove through the field twice and the front third of it one more time, leading the final 17 laps to win the Lucas Oil 225 Truck Series race Saturday night at Chicagoland Speedway.

Busch had dominated the earlier Nationwide Series race, only to have a bad pit stop sully his chance at victory. That left him in a foul mood.

In his truck, he had to start at the back of the pack because he hadn’t been in the driver’s seat before Friday’s rain. No matter. He cut through the field easily, moving to third place by the 30th lap.

After a penalty for speeding on pit road, and stuck back in 20th on the restart, Busch passed everyone in front of him and grabbed the lead 16 laps into the green-flag stint, passing leader Austin Dillon by using a backmarker as a pick. That made up for the aerodynamic push he was experiencing.

“It was a bit frustrating,” Busch said. “I got through the field, but it was still hard to pass when it got down to crunch time.”

You couldn’t tell. Busch’s main adversary at the end was Matt Crafton, who started ninth and led on three occasions, but didn’t have enough power at the end. Nor, he thought, quite enough experience.

“He gets so much seat time,” Crafton said of Busch, who is running in all three races this weekend. “How many times does he do that?

We race 22 truck races. If I could run as much as he did, I’d be in front of him.”

Crafton was chasing Dil-

lon, with Busch coming back from a so-so pit stop that left him eighth with 35 laps to go in the 150-lap tangle. But Busch was soon on Crafton’s tail, then passed him and took on Dillon, using the lapped truck of Michael Affarano as a pick with 16 laps to go to take the

up to Crafton to chase Busch down. Nothing doing.

“The last run, we tightened up too much,” Crafton said of the final 31 laps, which were run just after sunset, with the track cooling and lessening the grip of the surface.

Crafton, at least, still leads the standings in the truck series, with a 5-point edge on Johnny Sauter, who finished 14th.

This shouldn’t have been a surprise. Busch had won three of his first four truck starts at Chicagoland and was a top-10 finisher in his other appearance. Now it’s four wins in five. lead.

some of them three times, in 134 laps. He led the last 17 laps, and beat Crafton to the finish line by 1.129 seconds.

Before the race, which was delayed to Saturday by Friday’s rain, he had to forget the finish of the Nationwide race as best as possible. He led 141 laps, but finished third.

Busch put his hand on crew chief Eric Phillips’ back, smiled and said, “This guy gave me some encouraging words.”

That buoyed Busch, who didn’t get down after a pit road speeding ticket sent him to the back of the lead lap on the first restart, nor later, when the new fuel man was slow to get connected to the car.

Said Phillips, “We have the same drive. We talked about it.

We just focused on the goal.”

Sunday, Busch gets to do the same thing again. He’ll start on the pole in the first Sprint Cup playoff race.

Teams that were expected to be among the best in the area are coming on strong, and a couple of others are on the verge of crashing the party. See the game stories in this section for evidence.

At the other end of the spectrum, we have a few teams that are 0-3. One is Joliet Central, which fell behind visiting Bolingbrook 57-0 in the second quarter Saturday in a SouthWest Suburban Blue game where the Raiders eventually prevailed 64-14.

The scoreboard suggests there is little if anything positive to say about the Steelmen. And it’s true, those bright numbers under each team’s name ultimately reveal how they will be judged.

That’s not necessarily the case with Central in 2014, however. The Steelmen have not won a game in four-plus seasons since Central and West returned to separate programs. You always think you are going to win, but nobody at the game Saturday, including those on the Central sideline, truly believed the Steelmen would come out on top.

In that case, if you’re coach Brett Boyter, you look for signs of the program’s growth. Forget the score, positives were there, beginning with freshman quarterback Zach Wisneski.

“Absolutely, we were better in some ways today, beginning with Zach,” Boyter said. “We’re seeing how much more command he has.

I’m proud of him. He put the blame for last week on his own shoulders, and he’s put it behind him now.”

Wisneski threw a fourth-quarter interception last week that Rich South returned for a touchdown, erasing a 12-8 Central lead and giving the Stars a 14-12 win over the victory-starved Steelmen.

Joliet Central quarterback Zach Wisneski looks to pass downfield as Bolingbrook’s T.J. Lee defends Saturday in Joliet. BELOW: Joliet Central’s marching band performs before the start of Saturday’s game.

Against Bolingbrook, he threw a pick-6, but he also completed 10 of 20 passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns.

“Our team made huge improvement from Week 1 to Week 2, and nobody was giving up today,” Wisneski said. “We’re trying to keep improving.

“We had a good week of practice. Nobody here was expecting us to win, but we do expect to improve week to week.”

Wisneski does not sound like a 14-year-old freshman, does he?

“We’re very young all over, but we’re competing better than in the past,” Boyter said. “Part of it is the position Zach plays, but he is a leader already. He’ll know that soon if he doesn’t know it

already.

“On that pick he threw today, he made a mistake. Then he came back and threw a TD pass on the same play call. He made the right decision.”

Wisneski said he became the varsity starter when “they asked me if I wanted to do it, and I said, ‘yeah.’ I have four years to start. By the fourth year, I’ll be ready.”

It well could be sooner than that. He will grow up with these Steelmen as they mature.

“We have a lot of juniors,” Wisneski said. “We want to keep improving this year and get a few wins next year.”

The offensive line largely is juniors. So is the receiving corps, including the tight ends. There are sophomores in the mix at various

positions. With the likes of Homewood-Flossmoor, Lincoln-Way East, Sandburg, Joliet West and Lockport on the remaining schedule, the growth process could be accelerated. ‘”We went against a defense here that has five Division I athletes,” Wisneski said of Bolingbrook. “I got a lot of good practice. As good as their defense is, though, our line continued to protect me well. I haven’t been sacked once this year.”

“Our linemen did a great job, keeping Zach upright against a defense like Bolingbrook’s,” Boyter said.

“We were able to run different formations in our offense this week, which will help us be more dynamic.

We’re growing into a new offense and we have a lot of young defensive guys who are playing hard.”

Odds may be against Central cracking the win column this season. Regardless, if this young group continues to progress, led by that kid calling signals, the day will come when the scoreboard numbers trumpet Steelmen victories.

Patience, patience ...

Defense keeps Caravan rushers contained

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, September 14, 2014

NEW LENOX – When a quality opponent such as Mount Carmel scores on a 76yard interception return with 2 seconds left in the first half, that usually spells big trouble.

On Friday night, however, linebacker Nick Wheeler’s long return made no difference.

Providence (3-0, 1-0), No. 1 in the Herald-News weekly area rankings, continued its domination in the second half en route to a 33-14 victory in the Chicago Catholic Blue opener for both teams.

“When’s the last time someone beat Mount Carmel like this?” linebacker Brendan O’Hara said.

“This was far from a perfect game, but we played well,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said.

The Celtics’ defense limited the Caravan’s vaunted veer-option attack to 127 rushing yards in 39 attempts, a modest 3.3 average. Mount Carmel (1-2, 0-1) did not score an offensive touchdown until the second play of the fourth quarter, cutting Providence’s lead to 24-14.

But a 41-yard quick kick by Celtics standout quarterback Justin Hunniford pinned Mount Carmel on its 11-yard line for its next possession, and after sacks by O’Hara and Luis Vasquez moved the ball back to the 1, Mount Carmel took an intentional safety on a fourth-and-20.

Hunniford, who completed 17 of 23 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns, then hit Nate Vejvoda with a 24yard lob down the left sideline on a fourth-and-7 to set up Richie Warfield’s clinching 2-yard TD run.

“Mount Carmel wanted to control the clock,” Cogli-

Celtics roll past Mount Carmel

Mount Carmel quarterback Anthony Thompson is sacked by Providence linebacker Dan Miller. Providence’s defense limited the Caravan to 127 rushing yards in 39 attempts en route to the Celtics’ 33-14 victory Friday night. anese said. “They drove the ball some, but our defense stiffened and held when they had to.”

“Our defense was awesome,” O’Hara said. “The defensive line deserves all the credit. They opened things up for us linebackers to make tackles. This was our best game so far.

“The prep team gets credit, too. What they did for us really translated to game speed.”

The Celtics’ starting defense includes Dan Miller, Jake Rost, Tyler Schiemann and Vasquez up front, with Jimmy Sharkey, Emmet Trost and O’Hara at linebacker, Jack Pell and Zack Pych at the corners and Mike Madej and Erik Carroll at safety.

So sound was that unit that Mount Carmel gained more

than six yards on only three of its 39 rushing attempts.

“To be honest, I wasn’t surprised at what our defense did,” said receiver Miles Boykin, who caught eight passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns, bringing his area-leading three-game totals to 24 receptions for 349 yards and eight touchdowns. “Their intensity is second to none.”

On a cold and rainy night, Providence got to work off the get-go. After Mount Carmel went three-and-out, the Celtics, aided by 25 yards in Caravan penalties, marched 58 yards to a touchdown, Boykin scoring on a 9-yard pass from Hunniford.

On the ensuing kickoff, Pell forced a Mount Carmel fumble that Colt Wennlund recovered, setting up fresh-

man Eduardo Favela’s 30yard field goal. With 6:24 left in the first quarter, Providence already was up 10-0.

The lead grew to 17-0 when Warfield took a screen pass from Hunniford and scooted 36 yards to the end zone with 9:11 left before halftime.

The Celtics were threatening to get more when Wheeler intercepted Hunniford’s pass in the flat and took it 76 yards for the potential game-changer.

“That was the last thing we wanted, a momentum change there,” Coglianese said. “But we came out and scored right away in the second half and got the momentum back.”

The Celtics’ defense stopped a Mount Carmel running play on a fourth-and-3 and Providence then marched

78 yards to make it 24-6. The touchdown came on Hunniford’s 37-yard toss to Boykin on a fourth-and-8.

“Justin finds a way no matter what,” Boykin said of his batterymate throwing well in adverse conditions.

“Wind or rain, it doesn’t seem to matter to him,” Coglianese said.

Boykin had seven of his eight catches in the first half.

In the second half, Vejvoda caught three for 63 yards to finish with four for 74.

“Nate made some key catches, really big catches,” Coglianese said. “He’s not a bad second receiver, is he?”

Chris Kaminski scored on a 24-yard run in the third quarter and the Providence sophomores (3-0) made it stand up for a 6-0 victory.

HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 41, JOLIET WEST 0

WEEK 3 PREP FOOTBALL SCORES

H-F hands Tigers first loss

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After watching his team claim victories in their first two games, Joliet West coach Jason Aubry wanted to see how they matched up against one of the better teams on their schedule, Homewood-Flossmoor.

It’s safe to say that he was rather disappointed after the Tigers were behind 20-0 following one quarter and 34-0 at the break in a 41-0 defeat in their SouthWest Suburban Blue Conference opener at Klootwyk field.

“We talked about stepping up all week,” Aubry said.

“When you go into conference play like this, especially against a very good football team like H-F, we had to play a perfect football game to be

able to stick with them. We should have had three or four picks and we had a couple of plays offensively where we just missed when we had wide-open receivers.

“I told these guys that this is the type of team that we’re going to see in the first round of the playoffs. If we’re planning to be in the playoffs, which we are, we’re going to play a team like this. We didn’t step up and execute and do the things that we needed to do. This isn’t a step back, it’s a learning experience and now we have to be ready for next week.”

The troubles started quickly for the Tigers (2-1, 0-1) after H-F (2-1, 1-0) got a 41-yard scoring run from Devonte Harley-Hampton on the third play of the game to take a 7-0 lead.

After West stopped H-F on

downs on the next series, the Vikings went up, 14-0, with 3:11 left in the first period when Bryce Gray tossed a 38yard touchdown pass to Kendric Pryor.

Two plays later, Christian Langston picked off a pass and went 23 yards to make it 20-0.

After the Vikings took a 27-0 lead following a 12-yard pass from Gray to James Sheehan, the Tigers lost a fumble on one series and then turned the ball over on downs at H-F’s 25 on the following drive.

H-F added another score in the final minute of the opening half when Gray threw a 5-yard pass to Sheehan for a 34-0 lead.

The second half started out well for West when Craig Beebe returned the kickoff 44 yards to near midfield. But af-

ter driving to the Vikings 14, West lost another fumble.

Just past the midpoint of the third quarter, H-F put the running clock in motion after Gray connected with Jaylon Walton on an 11-yard scoring pass.

Tigers quarterback Alex Tibble connected on 12 of his 25 passes for 144 yards. John Choate caught three passes for 44 yards and Collin Brown had three catches for 39 yards.

Jacob Coyl rushed for 21 yards on 10 carries for West, which had 50 rushing yards.

“We’re going to find out if we’re a playoff-caliber team,” said Aubry, whose team plays at Sandburg on Friday. “By getting beat this week, can we come back and can we respond and do well? I already challenged them and we’re going to see if they can step up.”

UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS 40, LINDENWOOD-BELLEVILLE 7

Smith’s theft fuels victory for USF

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – University of St. Francis defensive end Tim Smith bullied his way into the backfield and took the ball from Lindenwood-Belleville quarterback Austin Rickhoff.

As if he was a point guard, Smith stole the ball from Rickhoff and outraced everyone to the end zone. Touchdown, St. Francis.

Smith’s 34-yard theft gave USF a 13-7 lead in the second quarter and fueled a stretch of 40 unanswered points for the Saints in their 40-7 nonconference victory Saturday over Lindenwood at Memorial Stadium.

“My linebacker sent me inside to disrupt the quarterback, and I did because he [Rickhoff] started going outside,’’ Smith said. “But I still wanted to make a play, so I reached out and grabbed him.

“But the arm I grabbed had the ball in it, so I just knocked it out of his arm. Everything just fell into place. I just react-

ed when I saw the ball in my hand and went with it.’’

For six points, to break a 7-7 tie.

“Seeing him make that play, we all got really hyped up from that,’’ said linebacker Mike Passo, a Joliet Catholic graduate. “That was a big play by him. I was right behind him, blocking for him.’’

St. Francis coach Joe Curry wasn’t surprised to see such a play from the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Smith, a sophomore from Oregon, Illinois.

“If you see him in practice every day, he makes those freakish type plays,’’ Curry said. “I’m glad it finally came out on a game field.’’

Smith was among several defensive linemen who rotated during Saturday’s game.

The others included Coleon Leverson, Calvin Brayboy (Bolingbrook), Ali Aqel, Kendall Robinson, Albert Cruse and Eric Davis.

“We play a three-man front, and those guys expend so much energy, play in and play out,’’ Curry said. “It’s

like line changes in hockey.

We just keep rolling them through. It could be a crucial down, crucial situation. We believe in all those guys.’’

After St. Francis went ahead, 20-7, in the third quarter on a 73-yard pass from quarterback Trace Wanless to Adam Morrison, the defense did its part.

Linebacker Ryan Johnson picked off a pass to stop one Lindenwood possession.

A sack by Cruse and a tackle for a loss by Aqel stopped the next possession.

Early in the fourth quarter, Johnson and defensive back Jesse Hogan stopped Lindenwood on a fourth-down play.

“Defensively, we did a great job today,’’ Curry said.

“They kept us in it.’’

Linebacker Jamal Graham had a team-best 10 tackles. Hogan and Passo had eight stops.

Wanless extended USF’s lead to 27-7 early in the fourth quarter when he scrambled out of the pocket and broke five tackles during a 37-yard run.

“It was supposed to be a pass and the pocket broke down,’’ Wanless said. “I just started scrambling. I don’t really remember much from there. I just saw the end zone.’’

“We’ve seen that out of Trace the past couple years,’’ Curry said. “We call it ‘beast mode’ when he goes into that.

He did it last year at receiver. He would take hitches and turn them into 20-yard gains by breaking tackles.’’

Malik Norman (39 yards, 10 carries) scored from a yard out and on an 18-yard run to complete the scoring. Troy Torrence’s 34-yard reception tied the game, 7-7, in the second quarter.

Wanless finished 7 of 19 for 163 yards and two touchdowns. He rushed for 63 yards on seven carries.

St. Francis has started back-to-back seasons 2-0 for the first time in its history.

“We expect to be one of the top teams in the country,’’ Curry said. “We expect to keep winning and keep going 1-0 every week.’’

BOLINGBROOK 64, JOLIET CENTRAL 14

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Bolingbrook’s Jaylen Griffin looks for some running room against Joliet Central during their game at Joliet Central High School on Saturday. Central lost, 64-14.

“A pick-6, that’s fun,” he said.

Bolingbrook, a 48-0 winner in the sophomore game, led by 35-0 late in the first quarter and by 42-0 two plays into the second quarter. Coach John Ivlow cleared his bench early. Fourteen Raiders shared 39 rushing attempts that netted 226 yards.

Quarterback Adam Klein, who was 8 for 8 passing in last week’s 51-14 win over Romeoville, hit all four attempts for 80 yards. Quincy Woods and Dimitri Wiafe-Akenten both caught two for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Woods wore multiple hats, returning a punt for a touchdown, scoring on the pass

from Klein, on a run from scrimmage and running in with a two-point conversion after a bad snap. Otherwise, Klein was 8 for 8 on extra points.

Woods also had a potential second punt return for a touchdown stopped 2 yards short of the goal line.

Hilltoppers run past Carmel in ESCC opener

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent MUNDELEIN – Joliet Catholic’s Harold Davis hauled in a Hail Mary pass to end the first half and the Hilltoppers went on to beat Carmel, 34-14, in the East Suburban Catholic Conference opener Friday.

JCA (2-1, 1-0) was at the Carmel 44-yard-line with 1.5 seconds left in the half. The Hilltoppers lined up Davis and two other receivers on the right side. Quarterback Cade Earl took the snap and put it in the air.

“I was running downfield.

Cade threw it, and I saw their man was about to pick it off so

I ran toward the ball and took it out of his hands,” said Davis, who caught the pass at the 10-yard line. “I kept my shoulders up and kept running. I ran through a couple of tackles and ran for the touchdown.”

The Hilltoppers turned a 10-6 lead at that point into a 17-6 halftime lead. JCA coach Dan Sharp agreed that the play changed the game.

“We’ve seen Harry do some amazing things in practice, but we’ve never seen anything like that,” Sharp said. “It was a desperation pass. The ball kind of slipped out of Cade’s hands, and the defender was in a perfect position to intercept it. Harry just attacked the ball,

caught it, broke two tackles and scored. A play like that just knocks the wind out of your opponent and gives us life going into halftime.”

JCA took the ball to start the third quarter and drove 80 yards in 13 plays. Running back Michael Johnson scored from the 1 to put the Hilltoppers ahead, 24-6.

“It was very important [to score at that point] to stop their momentum, so they had no chance of coming back,” Johnson said.

Johnson added a 30-yard touchdown run on the Hilltoppers’ next series to make it 31-6.

JCA rushed for 374 yards on 59 carries on a night conducive

to running as it rained the entire game. Johnson rushed 17 times for 162 yards while Nick Borgra, whose 1-yard TD run in the second quarter gave the Hilltoppers their 10-6 lead, carried 21 times for 113. Drew Voss carried 12 times for 52, Davis five for 32.

“It’s great because no one knows where the football is going,” Johnson said of the four backs who have been productive this season.

“They were trying to key my motion, and then we hit them with Voss with 31 Buck and 31 Counter,” he said. “It’s great because teams have to do more studying of our game films.”

The Hilltoppers’ defense

forced two fumbles and recorded two sacks. Carmel (1-2, 0-1) mustered 284 yards of offense.

JCA’s Brian Bravo kicked field goals of 32 and 43 yards.

“You have to give a lot of credit to [assistants] Dave Douglas, Rick Raasch and Jim Sharp,” Dan Sharp said. “The things they teach during the week really showed. It was a great team effort there. We would have liked to come out and pass more but the conditions did not dictate that. We found something with the running game, and the kids continued to execute. Our running backs ran very well.”

Carmel won the sophomore game, 35-14.

• Sunday, September 14, 2014

JOLIET – Hinsdale Central did no favors for the rest of the teams on Bolingbrook’s schedule when the Red Devils upset the Raiders, 23-15, in Week 1.

Joliet Central was the most recent victim as Bolingbrook opened SouthWest Suburban Blue play Saturday afternoon with a 64-14 victory over the Steelmen.

The Raiders (2-1, 1-0) led, 57-0, late in the first half when Central (0-3, 0-1) scored on a 38-yard pass from freshman quarterback Zach Wisneski to junior wide receiver Kameron Smith.

The same pair connected on a 9-yard scoring toss with 1:25 left for the game’s final points. Otherwise, it was all Bolingbrook.

“Before the season, I think we got a little complacent with all our high rankings,” Raiders linebacker Julian Huff said. “Sometimes you need to be humbled to get better, and we were humbled.”

Huff did not play for long Saturday, but he inflicted plenty of damage on the Steelmen, including returning an interception 16 yards for a touchdown.

be biting me for a while this week,” Woods said. “I’ve already heard about it from my teammates. I told them I was just setting up my teammate [in this instance, Cortez Wilson, who led the Raiders with 72 yards in six carries] so he could get a touchdown.”

The Bolingbrook bench erupted when Erik Sotelo scored a late touchdown.

“He’s a running back, but he’s usually the last guy in line,” Huff said. “Erik sometimes shies away from the action. I don’t even know if he wanted the ball, but we gave it to him and he scored.”

It was a big day for the reserves.

“That’s how we prepared for this game, knowing guys who are second- and third-teamers would get more time than us starters,” Huff said. “That’s what it’s all about. I was happy for those guys, the way they want out there and showed hustle.”

Central’s Wisneski finished 10 of 20 for 86 yards and the two touchdowns to Smith, who caught four passes for 58 yards. Michael Robinson broke a 51-yard run and rushed for 58 in five carries.

Tommie Sherman chipped in with 51 yards in 18 attempts.

PLAINFIELD EAST 19, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 0

Mayon dominant as East beats South

By SCOTT EHLING Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Plainfield East running back Jake Mayon turned in yet another dominant performance when his team needed him.

The senior carried 32 times for 171 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Bengals to a 19-0 victory over host Plainfield South in the Southwest Prairie Conference opener Friday night.

Plainfield South was led by junior running back Jake Maher, who had 14 rushes for 51 yards, and senior quarterback Braden Lentini completed 9 of 18 passes for 65 yards.

For the third consecutive week, inclement weather was a factor both teams had to deal with as a hard rain and strong winds were prevalent throughout.

The victory marked the first time in the six-year history of the East program it defeated South.

“This was a good win for us,” East coach Mike Romeli said. “Eventually we’re hoping to have some good weather here. We can go for cold but can we get it to stop raining at some point?”

East (3-0, 1-0) made no secret about the fact it was going to call on Mayon ear-

Plainfield East’s Jake Mayon (center) looks for some running room against Plainfield South on Friday at Plainfield South High School in Joliet. ly and often. However, when starting quarterback Cole Kotopka – who completed 5 of 12 passes for 39 yards and a touchdown – went down with an apparent ankle injury near the end of the opening quarter, Mayon stepped up his game.

“Jake [Mayon] was phenomenal,” Romeli said. “I think he leads the area in

rushing and in carries and he’s our workhorse. He’s got great vision, and the offensive line has done a great job of getting on guys.”

After a scoreless first quarter, the Bengals’ defense made the first big play of the game, forcing a Cougars turnover at their 31-yard line.

Seven plays later, Mayon scored on a 6-yard touchdown

run to give the Bengals a 7-0 lead with 10:03 left in the half.

“We return 10 starters on defense and a couple of years ago we made the move to really load up on defense,” Romeli said. “We keep a couple of skilled guys on offense and we hope our defense can win us games like this.”

With East pinned inside its 10-yard line late in the

second quarter, Mayon had a highlight-reel run as he spun out of three tackles behind the line of scrimmage and broke free for a 79-yard run to the South 8-yard line.

Three plays later, Kotopka connected with Daniel Jackson on a 1-yard touchdown pass to extend the East lead to 13-0 with 0:21 left in the half.

“I was actually backing him [Mayon] up in case they [Cougars] got the ball or something, but he just kept spinning and going and next thing I know he breaks free,” Kotopka said. “It was one of the best runs that I have ever seen.”

South (0-3, 0-1) had its opportunities on three drives inside the East 35-yard line but failed to convert on fourth down on each one.

“We’re just having a difficult time with consistency on the offensive end,” South coach Ken Bublitz said.

“We’re having a hard time running four or five plays in a row that are effective.”

“It feels really good beating South for the first time in program history,” Kotopka said. “We’re just playing one opponent at a time and hopefully we just keep rolling and going.”

South defeated East, 7-0, in the sophomore game.

SANDBURG 21, LOCKPORT 10

Lockport starts strong, comes up short against Sandburg

By JEFF DEGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent ORLAND PARK – Lockport opened its Southwest Suburban Blue Conference schedule with a 21-10 loss at Sandburg on a rainy and wet Friday night.

The Porters (0-3, 0-1) did not trail until Sandburg (2-1, 1-0) scored with 6:34 to go on an 18-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Adam Valiga to make it 14-10. Valiga caught his third touchdown pass of the night with 2:16 remaining to seal the Porters’ fate.

Lockport coach Dan Star-

key noted it was the Porters’ best game of the season.

“We have to learn to put teams away,” Starkey said.

“We have to convert in critical situations offensively and stop people on defense in those same situations.”

Lockport opened the scoring on a nine-play drive that covered 54 yards. Quarterback Jeremy Quade hit Jon Zapotoczny on a 20-yard touchdown pass.

The Porters had additional drives of 10 and 11 plays and could not convert either into points.

Sandburg tied the game

“We have to convert in critical situations offensively and stop people on defense in those same situations.”

Dan Starkey Lockport coach with 8:14 to go in the first half on a 30-yard pass from quarterback Avery Verble to Valiga.

Lockport had a couple of golden opportunities to score after Sandburg turnovers.

With 4:29 left in the first half,

the Porters’ Trevor Cielenski recovered a fumbled punt.

The Porters recovered another Sandburg fumble with 1:34 to go in the second quarter but could not convert on either opportunity.

Lockport took the second-half kickoff and drove from its 34-yard line to the Eagles’ 12, where the drive stalled. Drevko Martarano hit a 29-yard field goal to put the Porters up, 10-7.

Lockport senior running back Cameron Credit totaled 115 yards on 11 carries, including runs of 46 and 43 yards. Quade completed 8

of 21 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown and added 71 yards on the ground. Zapotoczny caught five passes for 76 yards.

Sandburg’s Verble was 14 of 23 passing for 238 yards and three touchdowns. All three were to Valiga, who had nine receptions for 179 yards.

“We can only control us,” Starkey said. “We need to practice better and continue to get better as a team.”

Lockport’s sophomores improved to 3-0 with a 30-21 victory as four Porters scored.

Lockport hosts Lincoln-Way East next Friday.

MINOOKA 33, ROMEOVILLE 30

Minooka’s Nathan Gunn runs the ball in for a touchdown Friday during the first quarter at Romeoville High School in Romeoville. Minooka defeated Romeoville, 33-30.

“I just tried to put the bad about it. With two minutes left, passes and bad reads behind I had to throw the ball and passme since you can’t do anything es were open. Our line did an

left side for a 25-yard score just 1:18 after the break to pull his team to within 3 points of the lead at 16-13.

When Minooka got the ball back, it needed just two plays to grab its first lead. Victor Turpin burst up the middle for 70 yards and after Gunn ran in the conversion, the visitors led, 21-16, with 5:20 left in the third quarter.

Following the Spartans’ sixth punt in seven possessions, Minooka marched downfield again with Gunn carrying the last 10 times of a 12-play drive, going over the right side from 3 yards out with 10:29 remaining.

“I wanted the ball,” Gunn said. “My team blocks for me and believes in me so I just want to go out and win games.

We know that Johnny has a lot of talent and is a good kid and he has good wide receivers who he can throw to and we can make things go. This is my third year on varsity and I feel good with this team. I wouldn’t trade them for anything.”

After Gunn scored on a 5-yard run over the left side to put his team up, 7-0, with 3:48 left in the first quarter, the Spartans answered with two touchdowns in the next 76 seconds.

Jones found Charles Hunter for a 48-yard strike on the next play and then the Spartans blocked a punt and Evan Stingily returned it 12 yards.

Whitaker ran in on both conversions.

OSWEGO 23, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 8

Plainfield Central falls after Oswego’s fast start

By LARRY LINDHOLM Shaw Media Correspondent OSWEGO – Plainfield Central gave everything it had Friday night, but the Wildcats simply ran into the class of the Suburban Prairie Conference.

Oswego, winner of 22 straight conference games, scored all of its points in the first 14 minutes Friday night en route to a 23-8 victory over the Wildcats in the SPC open-

er.

The Panthers went ahead, 2-0, on a safety, then scored on Reshon Weddington’s 6-yard run, capping a 45-yard drive, for a 9-0 lead with 5:27 left in the first quarter.

Weddington scored on a 43yard run on Oswego’s next possession to make it 17-0 with 1:30 to go in the quarter. Then with 10:19 left in the second quarter, the Panthers scored on Connor Cravins’ 4-yard run, capping a

seven-play, 40-yard drive.

Quarterback Marcus Hayes’ 63-yard run to the Oswego 2-yard line midway through the second quarter put Central in position to get on the board, but the Wildcats (0-3, 0-1) were unable to punch it in.

“That was old school football there and we just did not get it done,” Central coach John Jackson said. “I’m not disappointed in our kids’ effort, though.”

On the next play after Oswego (2-1, 0-1) took over on the 2-yard line, the Wildcats’ Akwasi Aikins tackled the quarterback in the end zone for a safety to make it 23-2.

Central’s only touchdown came when senior quarterback Matt Gurke came off the bench and hit Jon Perez with a 25yard scoring strike in the final minute.

“You have to give Matt Gurke a lot of credit,” Jackson

said. “He is ready to play when called upon, and he has been a big help to our sophomore quarterback, Marcus Hayes.

“And give a lot of credit to the team. They fought and played until the very end against a very good team.”

Central’s sophomores lost, 7-6, after they were denied a touchdown with 15.6 seconds left on an assisting the runner penalty, then missed a field goal attempt.

ROMEOVILLE – Nathan Gunn and John Carnagio wanted the ball for different reasons during the final half of Minooka’s Southwest Prairie Conference opener at Romeoville.

For senior running back Gunn, it was because there was work to be done after the Indians fell behind, 16-7, after one quarter and still trailed by that score at the break.

And for sophomore quarterback Carnagio, it was to lead his team on one final comeback attempt as the clock was winding down.

Both succeeded as Gunn gained 219 yards on 37 carries and scored three touchdowns, while Carnagio overcame three interceptions in the opening half to lead his team to a late winning score.

Carnagio’s 21-yard pass to Alex Roop to the left side with 12 seconds remaining capped Minooka’s wild, 33-30, victory over Romeoville.

The Indians (2-1, 1-0) went 65 yards on nine plays during the winning drive and Carnagio completed four passes, matching his total from the rest of the game.

“There’s never a point in the game where we don’t think that we can win,” Carnagio said. “We came out strong after halftime and our defense was looking good. Nate kept us in that game and we pulled through for the win.

amazing job and gave me time for every pass. This boosts my confidence a ton. “ The late comeback was devastating for the Spartans (0-3, 0-1), who bounced back from a 27-16 deficit early in the final quarter to grab a 30-27 advantage with 1:56 left.

Kelvin Jones, who completed 11 for 25 passes for 179 yards, snuck in from 1 yard out on fourth down to give Romeoville a 30-27 lead. On the previous series, he hooked up with D’lante Dawson for a 69-yard scoring strike and then Gill Whitaker, who had 23 rushes for 105 yards, ran in for two points.

“It’s a tough loss,” Spartans coach Jeff Kuna said.

“Offensively, we just couldn’t find our stride. We liked some of the things that we saw but we missed some passes and a few blocks here and there. We couldn’t find our rhythm in the first half.

“We were much better offensively in the second half and established our run game a little better. I was proud of how we drove down to get the lead late in the game. We thought we had them but unfortunately, Minooka made a couple of big plays on its last drive.”

As the rain picked up, Gunn started to take over in the second half.

He carried the ball on his team’s first six plays of the third quarter and on 21 of its initial 25 plays of the final half.

That hard running paid off quickly as Gunn went over the

LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 28, BRADLEY-BOURBONNAIS 21

WEEK 3 PREP FOOTBALL SCORES

Nealon, Studer electrify LWC

• Continued from page 44

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – Even though this week of football had no delay, lightning struck Bradley-Bourbonnais on Friday in the form of Lincoln-Way Central seniors Joe Nealon and Sean Studer.

After Bradley senior wingback Jarrod Ware’s 28-yard touchdown jaunt gave the Boilermakers a 21-14 lead with 11 seconds left in the third quarter, Nealon struck on the ensuing kickoff, returning it 82 electrifying yards to bring the Knights within 21-20.

“I did it all on the fly,” Nealon said. “I had a couple of great blocks and took it to the end zone. It was a great feeling.”

Studer, behind the Knights’ powerful offensive line, crashed into the end zone for the two-point conversion and a 22-21 lead. He added a fourth-quarter, 1-yard touchdown plunge and the Knights held off the vaunted Boilermaker air attack for a 28-21 SouthWest Suburban Red vic-

tory.

Studer rushed for a career-high 183 yards on 40 carries. He had 117 yards rushing at the half.

“I owe it all to our outstanding offensive line,” he said. “It was a huge victory, especially after the tough loss to [Lincoln-Way] East last week.”

Central (2-1, 1-0) struck first on a 16-yard toss from senior quarterback Connor Campbell to Nealon. The extra point failed.

“Connor just threw it up for me and I made the touchdown catch,” Nealon said.

The Knights went up 14-3 in the second quarter when Campbell scored from 7 yards out and also ran for the twopoint conversion.

“Just a great team win,” Campbell said. “We all played great. What a job my offensive line did.”

Bradley (2-1, 0-1) was led by senior quarterback Gionte Mason, who completed 11 of 22 passes for 321 yards. Ware caught five for 191 yards, including an 83-yard touchdown

in the second quarter to bring the Boilermakers within 14-9.

Ware gave the Boilermakers a 15-14 lead on his 7-yard run with 7:20 left in the third quarter. His 28-yard TD run gave the Boilermakers their last lead at 21-14. The extra point was blocked.

Studer’s 1-yard TD run made it 28-21 with 1:41 left. He was stopped inches short on the two-point conversion.

Knights coach Hud “The Gambler” Venerable converted a key fourth-and-2 at the 44-yard line with 6:41 left as Campbell ran for the huge first down.

On the final Boilermaker drive, the Knights’ defense rose to the occasion. Seniors Justin Markus and Sean Kelly had consecutive sacks to seal the win.

“It was a tremendous victory,” Venerable said. “Our offensive line did a great job blocking for Sean and Connor.

What a tremendous lift Joe Nealon gave us on his kickoff return.”

The Central sophomores (21, 1-0) also won, 14-13.

PREP FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Coal City blanks Peotone in I-8 Large opener SUBMITTED REPORTS COAL CITY – Nick Micetich and Matt Norton each scored a touchdown in the first half Friday and Coal City’s defense made it stand up for a 13-0 Interstate Eight Large victory over Peotone (0-3, 0-1).

Jack Dibble carried 20 times for 94 yards and also caught two passes for 16 while Micetich was 5 for 9 passing for 34 yards for the Coalers (2-1, 1-0). Parker Czaja, Kevin Myers and Corey Jurzak were Coal City’s leading tacklers.

Seneca 14, Reed-Custer 12: After Reed-Custer dominated the first quarter and Seneca dominated the second, extra-point kicks and a controversial turnover made the difference as unbeaten Seneca won the Interstate Eight Small opener in Braidwood.

The Irish were clinging to a two-point lead on a second down when the Comets at-

tempted a short pass. Shortly after the receiver caught the ball, he was hit, jarring the ball loose. Irish defender Alex Mann dove on it, got up and began running up the field. As the Reed-Custer sideline contended that the receiver never had possession, the officiating crew deemed it a fumble and that Mann was down at the spot. Seneca needed only one kneel-down to seal the victory.

Wilmington 34, Lisle 3: Unbeaten Wilmington scored late in the second quarter to lead, 7-3, at the half, then broke away in the second half of the Interstate Eight Small opener.

Nick Hawkins scored on a 40-pass from Mason Southall and on runs of 25 and 10 yards for Wilmington (3-0, 1-0). The Wildcats’ defense limited Lisle to 120 total yards.

Lemont 35, TF South 0: Lemont scored five touchdowns and held TF South to 46 rushing yards and 75 total yards

in the South Suburban Blue opener.

Flynn Nagel returned a punt for a touchdown and also scored on a 7-yard pass from Ryan Dawson (5 for 8, 19 yards passing) for the host Indians (3-0, 1-0), who already have equaled last year’s win total.

Anthony Martin gained 173 yards on 18 carries and scored a touchdown. Chris Thompson rushed for a score and Hunter LaDuke recovered a fumble for a touchdown.

Lincoln-Way East 44, Stagg 0: The Griffins (2-1, 1-0) rolled in their SouthWest Suburban Blue opener in Palos Hills as Liam Morrissey scored three touchdowns and Jeremey Nelson caught two scoring passes.

Lincoln-Way West 42, Thornridge 0: After prevailing in two close games, the Warriors (3-0, 1-0) jumped to a 33-0 lead after one quarter and breezed in their SouthWest Suburban Red opener in Dolton.

Sophomore rushes for 159 yards, Redskins’ defense stymies Chargers’ offense

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

Morris’ Matt Feiden fights for yardage in the Redskins’ game against Dundee-Crown on Friday night at Morris High School in Morris. The Redskins won, 27-0.

39-yard run to start the third quarter. Soon after, Griffin Sobol connected with Balentine for a 27-yard touchdown pass.

Even with the offensive success, Morris turned the ball over twice in the red zone, once on an interception at the goal line and another on a fum-

ble at the 2.

The turnovers didn’t turn out to matter much as the Morris defense continued its strong play it displayed last week. Dundee-Crown had precious little room to maneuver all night, as the Morris front seven filled any hole that opened up. The Chargers were

held without a first down in the first half.

Morris led, 20-0, after three quarters as Keagan Sobol had increased his rushing total to 159 yards on 20 carries and Matt Feiden had 60 yards on six attempts. Sobol finished with 187 yards on the ground and Feiden had 65 as the

PLAINFIELD NORTH 16, OSWEGO EAST 7

Plainfield North conquers elements, Oswego East

By JOSH MANDER Shaw Media Correspondent OSWEGO – Plainfield North battled the elements Friday en route to a 16-7 victory over Oswego East.

Weather conditions were poor as the teams took the field and did not get better. The rain forced both sides to adjust their game plan and play more conservatively. North (2-1, 1-0) answered by grinding out more than 200 yards offensively and forcing numerous three-and-outs on defense.

The Tigers kept the ball on the ground most of the game.

Coach Tim Kane relied on a balance running attack from Quintin Hoosman and Zach Shelton as well tremendous play from the offensive line.

“We have some really good senior leadership up there, offensive line wise,” Kane said.

“All these guys played really well and kept battling. A lot of these guys played both sides of the ball the entire game. I think we definitely battled up front.”

North’s offensive line consisted of Nick Wolf, Jack Kramer, AJ Wachs, Bret Johnson and Cody Conway. Tight end Kyle Speas also contribut-

“[Oswego East] made some big plays there toward the end, but our kids hung in there and kept going.”

ed a strong blocking effort.

The Tigers’ defense had a strong showing against an athletic Wolves’ offensive unit.

North’s defense controlled the line of scrimmage throughout

and usually put the offense in good field position. Defensive lineman Max Anderson intercepted a pass to set up the Tigers’ first touchdown.

The offense then mounted a 14-play, 52-yard drive that concluded with Hoosman’s 1-yard touchdown run. After failing to convert the two-point conversion, the Tigers led, 6-0.

After North’s defense forced Oswego East to punt in six plays, the Tigers struck with another drive. This time, quarterback JD Ekowa finished a nine-play, 57-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown scamper.

Although the Wolves made a late comeback, scoring in the middle of fourth quarter, North remained in control.

Kane acknowledged his team’s effort and perseverance, noting, “[Oswego East] made some big plays there toward the end, but our kids hung in there and kept going.”

Shelton sealed the victory for the Tigers when he sacked the quarterback in the end zone for a safety in the final minute.

The North sophomores won, 25-0. The Tigers will face district rival Plainfield South next week.

MORRIS – It was nearly a carbon copy of the previous week as far as weather goes Friday night, and despite both games ending in victories, with Morris beating DundeeCrown, 27-0, on Friday, the results on the field couldn’t have been more different.

After a heart-pounding, stress-inducing, come-frombehind 12-8 win against Metamora last week, the Redskins had an easier time of things this weekend, taking a 13-0 lead into halftime after holding Dundee-Crown to eight total yards in the first half.

Morris, which won the sophomore game, 41-7, got on the board in the first quarter when Griffin Sobol scored on a quarterback sneak from a yard out. A play earlier, Tommy Balentine had burst free for 24 yards on a sweep around right end.

After a couple of drives, Morris running back Jake Walker twisted an ankle, and Keagan Sobol took his place.

All the sophomore did was run 13 times for 85 yards in the first half before ripping off a

Redskins ran for 357.

While Sobol got the yards, he deflected credit to the big men in front of him.

“The line opened up some huge holes,” he said. “It’s nice to run when the holes are open like that. I didn’t expect to carry the ball that much, but when Jake went down, they asked me to step up, so I did.”

Sobol also was a key contributor on the defense from his linebacker position.

“Keagan doesn’t play like a sophomore,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “He plays like this is already his third year on the varsity. Whatever we ask him to do, he’s ready to do it.

“I thought our offensive line, especially Eric Haish, did a great job tonight. Not just Eric. It seemed like we were talking on the radio all night and our coaches up in the box were telling me almost every play that someone got a good block. That was real nice to hear.

“This is what we were looking for ... some consistency.

We played well last week and followed it up with a shutout this week. These guys were very motivated.”

PREP CROSS COUNTRY: STEELMEN INVITE

By SCOTT A. EHLING Shaw Media Correspondent

• Sunday, September 14, 2014

CHANNAHON – Cool temperatures and a light breeze made for ideal running conditions for Joliet Central’s 21st Annual Steelmen Invite Saturday at Channahon Community Park.

Oswego senior Peter Johnsrud finished in 15:24.5 and won the varsity boys race.

Joliet Central junior Raul Rosendo followed last week’s Plainfield Central Invite top place finish with a strong second-place finish in 15:37.2 and Lincoln-Way West’s Evan Mitchell placed third in 15:48.1 to round out the top three.

Lincoln-Way East’s Ben Waiczak (15:59.9) and Plainfield South’s John Partee (16:00.1) placed fifth and sixth, respectively.

“Overall I was pretty happy with my performance,” Rosendo said. “I just wanted to go out and stay strong for the entire race.”

“Raul [Rosendo] ran great again today,” Joliet Central coach Doug Cherry said.

“Overall. I’m pleased with how we did today as a team.”

Plainfield South took first place overall as a team with 57 points with a total top five time of 1:21:11. Oswego (62, 1:20:48), Joliet Central (106, 1:22:32), Benet Academy (107, 1:22:47) and Lincoln-Way West (117, 1:23:04) rounded out the top five.

Also for the champion Cougars, Colin Pickering (16:05.2) was eighth, Hunter Dyer (16:17.2) placed 12th and Kenny Peters (16:22.7) finished 14th.

The Steelmen received a 10th place from Andre Martinez (16:14.5) while Vince Moreno (16:15.3) finished 11th.

Lincoln-Way West’s Peter Motto (16:22.3) claimed 13th place.

“Coming in here and walking away with the win is huge,” Plainfield South coach Jason Crowe said. “John Partee stepped up for us today and had a great race. Colin Pickering had an awesome race and Hunter Dyer was awesome as well.”

Plainfield South took first place overall as a team with 57 points and a total top five time of 1:21:11. field South sophomore Alexis Grigg won by finishing in 18:48.0. Neuqua Valley’s Julia Pena (18:54.3) and Oswego’s Allyson McLaughlin (19:03.1) rounded out the top three.

Lincoln-Way East’s Kristy Dertz placed fifth in 19:13.7 and Plainfield South’s Greta Carlberg finished sixth in 19:14.3.

“I started way out in the front at the start of the race because the better the start, the better the race,” Grigg said. “Once I was out there, there was no going back. I was glad that someone else [Pena] was there to push me.”

Neuqua Valley took first place overall as a team with 57 points with a total top five time of 1:37:12. Oswego (74, 1:38:12), Plainfield South (78, 1:38:11), Fenwick (122, 1:40:23) finished second through

fourth place and Lincoln-Way East (1:41.30) and Joliet West (1:41.08) tied for fifth with 144 points.

For Plainfield South coach Dan Shuman, seeing two of his girls finish in the top six overall and having the team finish third was a sign that his team’s hard work is showing results.

“We have been working really hard, and to see it pay off at a big invite like this means a lot to the girls and is definitely something for us to build on,” Shuman said. “I don’t think anyone is shocked at where we’re at now, but we’re also not satisfied.”

WASHINGTON 44, ILLINOIS 19

NORTHERN ILLINOIS 48, UNLV 34

NIU holds off persistent UNLV

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com

Washington wide receiver John Ross (center) is tackled by Illinois defensive back Taylor Barton (3) and linebacker T.J. Neal Jr. (52) on Saturday in Seattle.

Illini drop to 2-1 on loss to Wash.

By TIM BOOTH The Associated Press SEATTLE – Shaq Thompson saw daylight, with an open field and no one between him and the end zone. Just as he was breaking clear, Thompson’s foot was clipped and he tumbled to the turf after a 13yard run.

Washington’s star linebacker had to settle for two defensive touchdowns Saturday.

“I’ve got to pick my feet up,” Thompson said with a grin.

Thompson returned an interception 36 yards for a touchdown, picked up a fumble and rumbled 52 yards for another score, and Washington routed Illinois, 44-19, on Saturday, improving to 3-0 under Chris Petersen.

Thompson became the first Washington player since at least 1978 to score via fumble and interception in the same game, according to school records. And when he finally got his allotted series on offense, he nearly busted another long touchdown, only to get tripped as he broke into the open field.

“He’s a playmaker,” Petersen said. “You put him on offense and he usually does some good things. He’s good on special teams and he was creating his own offense on defense. You’ve got to love those things.”

After shaky outings against Hawaii and FCS power Eastern Washington, the Huskies put together their most complete performance.

Washington played without starting cornerbacks Marcus Peters (suspension) and Jermaine Kelly (injury) and it didn’t matter. Kelly could be out for the season with a fractured ankle, while Petersen provided no update on Peters’ status.

But despite the depleted secondary, Thompson was the catalyst. A week after racing 57 yards for a touchdown on offense, Thompson’s two defensive TDs were part of a 28-2 scoring run by the Huskies.

Thompson stepped in front of Wes Lunt’s pass and ran untouched for his first score, just four plays after Cyler Miles and John Ross hooked up for a 75yard touchdown pass.

Wes Lunt threw for 230 yards for the Fighting Illini (2-1), but was unable to take advantage of Washington’s young secondary. Illinois was trying for just the fifth 3-0 start in the past 25 years.

After throwing for 456 yards in last week’s win over Western Kentucky, Lunt was sacked five times and when he did have time missed open receivers. Illinois was 1 of 11 on third downs and committed 11 penalties.

LAS VEGAS – For the second consecutive year, Northern Illinois is unbeaten after three games.

The Huskies improved to 3-0 following Saturday’s 48-34 win at UNLV. NIU got up early on UNLV, and survived a sloppy second half to escape with a victory.

“They had a good offense.

People have good offenses and they’re going to move the ball, too,” NIU quarterback Drew Hare said. “Our defense, I thought, stepped up exactly when they needed to. We got a big turnover in the red zone [Marlon Moore’s fourth-quarter interception].

That changed the momentum of the game.”

UNLV got on the board first in the opening quarter, with a Jonathan Leiva 25-yard field goal, but after that it was pretty much all Huskies for

the rest of the first half.

NIU got on the board with a Cameron Stingily 5-yard touchdown run with 7:26 left in the first quarter, though UNLV scored two points after the Rebels were awarded a safety after NIU tight end Desroy Maxwell was called for a chop block in the end zone.

Drew Hare would go on to throw two touchdown passes in the second quarter, a 12yard strike to Keith Harris Jr. and a 10-yard touchdown pass to Juwan Brescacin.

Hare would run for an 12-yard touchdown on the Huskies’ opening drive of the third quarter, but overall the third was sloppy for the Huskies. UNLV fought back in the second half and eventually tied NIU at 34, but NIU would take the lead for good on a 54-yard touchdown pass from Hare to Da’Ron Brown, and put the game on ice after a two-yard touchdown run by Cameron Stingily.

“Quarterback calls my number, it’s just time for me to make a play,” Brown said.

“The team we needed a big play. To be in sync you’ve got to step up. That’s what I did, step up.”

Stingily ran for 102 yards on the day.

“It was good to see Cam back,” NIU head coach Rod Carey said. “A lot of guys ran hard tonight, and Cam, down near the goal line, ran great.”

Making the first start of his career, Hare went 18 of 28 for 285 yards and three touchdowns.

“It felt awesome, just a good rhythm with the team,” NIU quarterback Drew Hare said. “Our line was awesome, our playmakers outside, they stepped up when they needed to.”

The Huskies will look to improve to 4-0 next week, but they will face their toughest test yet, facing Arkansas down in Fayetteville.

INDIANAPOLIS – Everett Golson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as No. 11 Notre Dame scored the final 20 points Saturday night and beat Purdue, 30-14.

The Irish are 3-0 for the second time in three years.

Purdue (1-2) has lost seven straight in this series, which has been played every year since 1946. The two teams will not meet again until 2020.

But this game didn’t follow the expected script.

Golson’s 15-yard TD run with 13 seconds left in the first half erased Notre Dame’s only deficit of the season. Golson closed it out by throwing a 15-yard TD pass to Corey Robinson late in the third and leading the Irish to two fourth-quarter field goals.

He was 25 of 40 for 259 yards and rushed 18 times for a season-best 56 yards.

The Irish celebrated by taking home the Shillelagh Trophy yet again and on the verge of cracking the Top 10 for the first time this season after No. 6 Georgia lost to No. 24 South Carolina.

Purdue, which has traditionally performed well against its rival, did it again Saturday – exactly one week after an inexplicably poor showing in a loss to Central Michigan. Quarterback Danny Etling kept the starting job and rewarded coach Darrell Hazell by going 27 of 40 for 234 yards with two touchdowns.

He also had two interceptions.

Brandon Cottom scored on a 7-yard TD pass in the first quarter to tie the score, and Etling somehow fit in a 19-yard TD pass to DeAngelo Yancey, who tip-toed the end line despite drawing a pass AP photo interference call, to give the Purdue defensive back Frankie Williams (bottom) and safety Taylor Richards tackle Notre Dame wide re- Boilermakers a 14-10 lead with ceiver Amir Carlisle on Saturday in Indianapolis.

Tough task ahead vs. 49ers

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, September 14, 2014

54

Bears must prepare for heavyweight fight, even with Smith, Bowman out BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Understand this, Bears fans: Study the San Francisco roster from 1 to 53 and they may be the most talented and deepest team in the NFL. If they’re not the best, they’re certainly in the conversation.

The Bears get a break Sunday. The 49ers will be without two All-Pro linebackers, Aldon Smith (nine-game suspension) and Navarro Bowman (knee surgery).

Even without those two, however, the 49ers will have perennial defensive MVP candidate Patrick Willis and Pro Bowler Ahmad Brooks at two of the linebacker spots in their 3-4 defense and plenty of talent in front of and behind.

The conventional wisdom is the Bears will need to commit to their running game and try to pound the 49ers, eat clock and keep their own “D” on the sideline as long as possible.

Under normal circumstances that would be an extremely tough putt for the Bears, as San Francisco was fourth against the run on defense last year, and Bowman and Smith will be missed more against the pass than the run.

Add to that the fact the Bears will be without starting center Roberto Garza and left guard Matt Slauson, who was the Bears’ best offensive lineman last year, and it’s hard to imagine the Bears having a ton of success running the football.

Although Brian de la Puente and Michael Ola are solid replacements at center and guard, respectively, they are smaller than Garza and Slauson and possibly better suited to pass protection than run blocking.

The Bears also will have to keep a close eye on Matt Forte, who is practically the franchise on offense with Brandon Marshall and Alshon

AP file photo

Bears defensive end Willie Young celebrates after a sack in the first half Sunday against the Buffalo Bills at Soldier Field.

San Francisco may be vulnerable in the secondary, where Tremaine Brock and Chris Culliver are new starters on the corners, and both are nicked, but they’re solid at safety with sophomore Eric Reid coming off a good rookie year and perennial Pro Bowler Antoine Bethea new this year via free agency.

The Bears will need a huge effort from tight end Martellus Bennett against those safeties, and wide receiver Santonio Holmes must show up big with Josh Morgan, as AP photo uncertain as Marshall and San Francisco running back Frank Jeffery are because of injuGore takes the ball during the ries.

49ers’ Sept. 7 game against the The Bears’ defensive front Dallas Cowboys in Arlington. will have to take on one of the best offensive lines in the Jeffery banged up. If Forte has league with Joe Staley and to take 70 of 74 snaps as he did Anthony Davis at the tackles, Alex Boone and Mike Iupati at last week, it’s really difficult the guards and Daniel Gilgore to project a strong run game at center. for 60 minutes.

Staley and Iupati are two of the best in the league at their positions, and what this entire line loves to do is run the ball down opposing defenses’ throats.

You may have heard a lot of talk about Colin Kaepernick and the read option this week, but the truth is San Francisco is going to play power football first and bang the Bears with running backs Frank Gore and rookie Carlos Hyde.

Gap integrity will always be key, but if linebackers Lance Briggs, D.J. Williams and Shea McClellin cannot get to the right gaps on their first reads and win physical man-to-man battles, whether or not they’re in the gaps will be irrelevant.

The key question for the Bears will be: Do they load the box with eight or nine men to take away the run and

dare Kaepernick to beat them through the air? He is an incredible athlete and capable of putting up big passing numbers, but he’s not a finished product.

Tight end Vernon Davis and receivers Michael Crabtree, Anquan Boldin and Stevie Johnson are all dangerous threats, but the Bears’ cornerbacks can match up with them if they’re not forced to play run first.

The Bears can win this game if they’re willing to get into a heavyweight punching contest and refuse to go down.

If they’re not willing to take the beating and keep punching back, the Bears don’t match up.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Dayan Viciedo hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to lift the White Sox to a 7-6 win over the Minnesota Twins and a sweep of their doubleheader on Saturday.

Jose Abreu started the winning rally with a leadoff walk against Glen Perkins (3-3).

Abreu was erased when Avisail Garcia grounder into a fielder’s choice, but Viciedo drove a full-count pitch over the wall in left for his 21st homer.

The White Sox have won four in a row, matching a season high. They last won four straight from May 4-7.

Trevor Plouffe and Oswaldo Arcia homered for Minnesota. Pinch-hitter Kurt Suzuki had a tiebreaking RBI double in the top of the ninth against Jake Petricka (1-4).

In the first game, Jose Quintana struck out a career-high 13 and Alexei Ramirez homered to lead the Sox to a 5-1 victory.

White Sox’s Jose Abreu hits a solo home run Saturday against the Minnesota Twins in the second game of a doubleheader in Chicago.

Quintana (8-10) allowed a run and two walks in seven innings. He said teammate Chris Sale’s dominance motivates him. Sale threw eight scoreless innings against Oakland on Thursday.

“When I see Chris Sale throw I’m so excited,” Quintana said. “I’m just excited because he’s the best in the American League. I try to follow him with a good perfor-

mance every time.”

Phil Hughes (15-10) had a career-high 11 strikeouts for Minnesota. He allowed five runs – three earned – in seven innings.

“Our guys were saying they were definitely losing the ball, and I’m sure it was the same way for them,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “Unfortunately, they came up with some runs and we didn’t.”

CUBS

Renteria unfazed by criticism

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com PITTSBURGH – The rookie-development program the Cubs are running at the bigleague level has conspicuously included first-year manager Rick Renteria, whose game management has been called into question by longtime baseball people inside and outside the organization.

But if Renteria is concerned about his job security, especially heading into a 2015 season that figures to bring higher expectations, he’s not letting it show.

“I don’t worry about my job.

Never have,” said Renteria, who signed a three-year contract when he took the position last fall. “I’ve never done it as a minor-league coach or bigleague coach. I focus on my job.

“In the end, I’m always hopeful that what I do is good

Cubs 6, Pirates 4 PITTSBURGH – Rookies Javier Baez and Matt Szczur homered, and the Cubs snapped a seven-game losing streak with a victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday night. Baez connected for a two-run shot in Chicago’s three-run third, and Szczur hit a leadoff drive in the eighth for his first career homer. It was Baez’s second homer in two nights and No. 9 on the season.

– Wire report enough to take care of me and where I’m supposed to be.”

Renteria has been handed organizational mandates on the use of first-year relief pitchers and guidelines for how to use young players in general, but he also said he has been given the daily freedom to manage.

“They’ve allowed me my

flexibility,” he said.

His predecessor, Dale Sveum, was allowed even more freedom. And after Sveum’s first year, team president Theo Epstein – who hand-picked the former Red Sox third-base coach to become his first Cubs manager – raved about Sveum and suggested his quickly developing reputation had already become a recruiting tool.

“Dale’s making a name for himself as a manager that players want to play for,” Epstein said. “Free agents recognize that we had a good clubhouse [in 2012] despite the difficult season that we had.”

A year later, Sveum was fired, and Epstein said it was because the manager was too hard on young players such as Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo, despite players in the clubhouse almost universally expressing respect and support for Sveum privately.

CHICAGO – The Phoenix Mercury were without star center Brittney Griner.

However, they still had Diana Taurasi.

Taurasi scored 14 of her 24 points in the fourth quarter and the Mercury beat the Sky, 87-82, on Friday night to complete a three-game sweep of the WNBA Finals for their third championship.

“We have the best player in the world, Diana Taurasi,” Phoenix coach Sandy Brondello said. “When you put the ball in her hands at crunch time, she makes it happen.”

Taurasi made big plays as the Sky were threatening to force a Game 4.

She hit a tiebreaking 16foot jumper and was fouled with 14.3 seconds left and made the ensuing free throw to put Phoenix up, 85-82.

Taurasi shot 4 for 9 on 3s and became the WNBA’s alltime leading scorer in the finals.

She had some help: After she reached the podium, she slid her MVP trophy over toward her teammate Candice Dupree, a former Sky player who also scored 24 points on 11 for 16 shooting.

“Candice has probably been overlooked her whole career on whatever team she has played on,” Taurasi said. “I’ve never played with someone that I’m so confident going into a game with.

You always know she’s going to be able to play.”

Elena Delle Donne, who battled a back injury during the series, scored 23 points, Sylvia Fowles had 20 points and Allie Quigley, a Joliet Catholic Academy grad, had 19 for the Sky. The Sky was the first team with a losing record during the regular season to reach the finals.

Mom finds entrepreneurial success Channahon woman starts Etsy shop after layoff

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

C

HANNAHON – This year, Channahon resident Whitney Surane is anticipating earning $20,000 from Madly Wish, the baby bedding home business she began two years ago.

In the past two months alone, Surane’s products were accepted on consignment at Kooky Kids Shop on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and Surane was part of the feature article “10 Crafty Chicago Moms You Need to Know,” published online at Red Tricycle.

But in January 2012, after adding baby number four to her family and getting laid off from a property management job, she hadn’t any plans for starting a home business.

She simply announced to her mother, Jean Danie of California, “Let’s make a quilt.”

At the time, neither could quilt, but they could sew, a skill Danie had taught Surane when she was a girl. So Surane did some research online about quilt-making and studied some photos.

The campaign runs until Sept. 22. To contribute, visit www.kickstarter.com/projects/142567264/madly-wishproject-swetsy-shop.

To celebrate the end of their first full week of school, Oakwood staff and students in Lemont sang and danced to the song “I’m so Glad that I’m Here,” affectionately known as the “Happy Dance” to the Oakwood friends. Over the years, it has become the unofficial Oakwood theme song.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Of the choices, which is right?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Jennifer Hudson, an actress and singer, said, “Extreme exercise doesn’t save you from poor food choices.”

All week we have been looking at deals in which the declarer or a defender wanted to make good play choices to maximize the chance of making or breaking a contract. Today’s deal seems to be another – but is it?

Look at the North and East hands. After South opens one spade, he ends in four spades.

West leads the heart ace, under which East encourages with his nine – always signal as high as possible. West cashes his heart king and plays his third heart.

What should East do after winning with his queen?

South, with such a weak sixcard suit, might have raised to three clubs, but four spades would still have been the final contract. It was hard – impossible? – to stop in three no-trump, which cannot be defeated.

It is tempting for East to shift to a club at trick four. However, if East does that, South wins the trick, draws trumps and claims.

East should pause and count up the high-card points. He has seven, there are 13 in the dummy, and West has already produced seven. That leaves 13 unaccounted for, but since South opened the bidding, surely he has the club ace-king, diamond ace and spade queen. So, from where might a fourth defensive trick come?

If the defenders have taken every possible side-suit trick, they must try for a trump trick. Then, giving a ruff-and-sluff cannot cost and might gain. East must lead his last heart. When West ruffs with his spade nine, it effects an uppercut, generating a spade trick for East.

ADVICE Written thank-yous for gifts show appreciation Dear Abby: I just turned 14 and had a small party with relatives to celebrate it. A few days later my mom bought me thank-you cards and said I should send them out.

I told the people “thank you” for the gifts in person. I don’t think thank-you cards are necessary for something as small as birthdays. Shouldn’t they be reserved for things like weddings and baby showers?

Mom and I are anxious to see your answer. – No ThankYou Dear No Thank-You: Listen to your mother because she’s trying to tell you something important. When people do something nice for you – such as give you a birthday or Christmas gift – their thoughtfulness and generosity should be acknowledged with a written thank-you. It’s not a waste

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips of your time.

People are inclined to be more generous to those who show their appreciation, as you will learn in many situations as time passes.

Dear Abby: My sister has a 1-year-old baby boy we all adore. He is a cute little guy.

My sister is understandably proud, but sometimes I feel it goes too far.

She sends pictures of him with captions like, “Cutest Baby Ever,” or “He’s the BEST!” She dresses him in shirts that say, “FAVORITE” or “The Greatest.”

I feel it is rude to other parents and insensitive to other

kids because it implies that other people’s children don’t measure up. Also, there are some adorable little cousins living in the same household as the “perfect” baby.

We ALL have attractive children, but not all of us feel the need to put others down in order to compliment our offspring. Am I overly sensitive, or is my sister tactless? – Idaho Auntie Dear Idaho Auntie: Your sister is over-the-moon about her baby boy. Shirts like this for toddlers are very common.

The children in that household are probably too young to read what’s printed on the T-shirts and feel slighted, so simmer down and don’t take it personally.

Manage gout by preventing attacks in the first place Dear Doctor K: What caused my gout? Will avoiding certain foods prevent flare-ups?

Dear Reader: Gout is a painful joint condition. I know, because I’ve suffered from it. I spoke to my Harvard Medical School colleague, rheumatologist Dr. Robert Shmerling, to get the latest information.

Gout attacks come on suddenly, with sharp pain, often in a single joint. The big toe is a common target. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, AskDoctorK. com.) Some people have flare-ups every few weeks; others go years between attacks. Fortunately, I’ve had only two attacks in the past eight years.

Gout flares when the levels of uric acid, a chemical produced in the body, rise in the blood.

Some of the uric acid leaves the blood and enters the joints. There, it forms crystals. The crystals trigger inflammation and severe pain, sometimes with fever and muscle aches. The crystals also can build up in the kidneys and cause kidney stones.

Everyone produces uric acid; some people just make too much.

In other people, the kidneys don’t eliminate enough uric acid in the urine. Certain foods that are rich in a chemical that the body turns

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff into uric acid can set off gout attacks in people who are already prone to them.

Gout attacks respond well to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). (The exception is aspirin, which can raise uric acid levels.) A drug called colchicine is a mainstay of gout treatment. A brief course of oral corticosteroids can also do the job.

The key to managing gout is to prevent attacks in the first place.

Preventive medication can help if you have frequent attacks, severe attacks, a history of kidney stones or gout that affects several joints.

Three types of medication can help prevent gout attacks: • Medication to help the kidneys excrete uric acid.

• Medication to reduce uric acid production.

• Anti-inflammatory medication.

Avoiding certain foods can help prevent gout attacks. But keep expectations realistic: Only about 10 percent of the body’s uric acid comes from food.

Avoid or limit:

• All meats, especially liver and “sweetbreads” (pancreas, thymus and other organs) • Meat extracts and gravies • Seafood, especially sardines and anchovies • Yeast and yeast extracts • Beans, peas and lentils • Spinach and asparagus • Cauliflower • Mushrooms • Beer or hard liquor • Sugary (fructose-containing) soft drinks Eating and drinking low-fat dairy products and eating cherries have been linked in some studies with lower attack rates of gout.

Finally, losing weight can lower uric acid levels and attacks of gout. And always drink enough water to avoid dehydration.

My last attack of gout occurred during a family party on a hot summer afternoon. I had a fair amount of red meat and beans and a few beers. I probably also was a bit dehydrated. Yes, I admit it: I don’t always follow the advice that I give in this column.

Teen must throw away clothes Dr. Wallace: I’m having a big disagreement with my folks. They do not like my friends or the way I dress. I’m basically a good kid and I get A’s and B’s in school. My friends and I are into baggy pants, oversized shirts and hoodies.

My dad thinks that I don’t have any self-respect when I wear these clothes. He also thinks my friends are losers and that I’ll probably turn out just like them if I hang around with them. My friends do skip school a lot and don’t do much homework, so their grades are not so good. My dad thinks I’ll be talked into joining them, even though I promised him I wouldn’t.

My dad said that he will take me shopping next week and buy me all new clothes. He said I have to get rid of all my hip-hop clothes. I don’t think this is fair because I paid for all of them with my own money.

What do you think about my situation? – Nameless, St. Louis, Missouri Dear Nameless: I don’t blame your folks for being frustrated with your choice of friends. From your letter, it’s hard to tell why you are such close friends with them.

You seem to have little in common with them other than the hip-hop clothes. Unlike them, you are a good student, get excellent grades and have not skipped school.

Is it possible that you’re hanging out with them mostly to push Dad’s buttons?

I agree with your dad.

A change of wardrobe is appropriate. So would a concerted effort to find friends who enjoy school and get good grades. The hip-hop crowd is bound to influence you in a negative direction sooner or

Dr. Wallace: I’m a high school senior and I plan to attend a college or university when I graduate. My problem is that I am confused and I don’t know what school I want to attend. I have talked with my counselor, and she said that it would be up to me to make the choice. What should I do?

I don’t want my school to be a lemon. – Jenny, Kansas City, Missouri Dear Jenny: Selecting a school that meets your needs is a huge challenge. Making the best choice will take time and lots of family discussion.

But you also need to know that this process is not like buying a car because there are no lemons! However, you still will want to find one that scores high marks in the areas important to you.

Here are a few of the more important questions you should ask yourself: Do you want to attend a state-supported school or a private school? (Private schools are more expensive.)

Do you want to attend a school near your home or one that’s far away – and if so, how far away?

Do you plan to have outside funding (student loans, grants, scholarships) to help defray the costs? Have you decided on a field of study? Will you be more comfortable attending a small liberal arts college or a large state university?

These are just a few of the questions you and your parents need to think about.

A Kennedy stays behind the camera

By STEPHANIE MERRY The Washington Post WASHINGTON – Rory Kennedy has been making the rounds lately. Last week, she sat down with Jon Stewart to discuss her new movie, “Last Days in Vietnam,” and she’s done question-and-answer sessions with audiences after screenings. All that on top of rounds of media interviews about the film, which premieres in theaters Friday and next April on PBS. For any number of her siblings and cousins, this kind of press circuit would be routine, but it isn’t the norm for the 11th and youngest child of Ethel and Robert Kennedy.

Instead, Rory Kennedy, 45, usually keeps a low profile.

She may be from one of the most scrutinized American families, but her work has been dedicated to observing others. She makes documentaries, many about complex social issues. Yet all zoom in on individuals, putting faces on everything from the AIDS crisis to poverty in Appalachia.

It was this attention to intimate details – plus, no doubt, the accolades she’s won for her films – that led producer Mark Samels to put Kennedy on his list of “people to entice to work for ‘American Experience,’” the PBS history program for which Samels is executive producer.

“I just liked the human touch that she has, that human dimension, and I think she puts a lot of feeling into her films,” he said. “She’s done a wide range of subjects, which I think indicates a kind of curiosity and a breadth of intelligence.”

Kennedy’s intelligence may be the most obvious thing about her, after perhaps her striking blond hair and her father’s toothy smile.

Her speech is polished and interview-ready, and she can crystallize abstract ideas about capturing emotion in film editing as well as she can recount historical events. She has that familiar Kennedy

Filmmaker Rory Kennedy has made political and historical documentaries during her career. Her latest movie is “Last Days in Vietnam.” cadence, the drawn-out vowels that sound so northeastern, even though she grew up at Hickory Hill in McLean, Virginia, before heading to Brown University for college.

When Samels approached her about chronicling the fall of South Vietnam in 1975 – when, as Saigon was about to be overtaken by North Vietnamese troops, every American hightailed it out of the country – Kennedy thought she had a grasp on the story.

But she soon realized how little she knew beyond a famous black-and-white photograph of a helicopter landing on the roof of 22 Gia Long St. in Saigon, where a group of people lined up to evacuate.

She found that during this dark period in American history, tales of heroism stood out, as Americans, going against U.S. policy, helped their Vietnamese friends, colleagues, family members, cooks and tailors escape from Saigon.

“It’s not our proudest moment as a country, and I think to then see these acts of heroism and courage from our soldiers, as well as the Vietnamese who were on the front lines, is enlightening and inspiring, really,” Kennedy said.

Like all of Kennedy’s movies, “Last Days in Vietnam” is a very human story. It’s made up of individual accounts, from Richard Armitage, then a naval officer, to Juan Valdez, the last American airlifted from the embassy in Saigon.

The film features the voice of a U.S. Army captain racked with guilt over breaking a promise to a group of 450 waiting at the American Embassy that he wouldn’t leave them behind. It also features the account of a South Vietnamese student, who was among those 450. Henry Kissinger agreed to speak on camera about what was happening policy-wise stateside.

“He was reluctant,” Kenne-

dy said of the former secretary of state. “It took a number of calls. I would call him, I would e-mail him, and he eventually came around and agreed to do it. I think in part it’s because he really loved my father. I think that was why he came around.”

The documentary is like an intricate piece of woodwork.

It’s painstakingly crafted, sturdy and incredible to look at. A pulsing score by Gary Lionelli adds a suspenseful ticking-clock element. Rather than pass judgment on the United States’ entry into the war, the documentary just lets the interviews speak for themselves. It was important to Kennedy that the movie didn’t have a narrator, even though that made the editing process harder.

“A narrator takes you out of that emotionality,” Kennedy said. “It’s kind of the voice of God telling you what to think. So, just going on this journey with people in what feels like real time is part of the power of the film.” She stopped for a moment before continuing with a laugh, “I mean, I don’t want to say the film’s so powerful.”

The timing of the film is particularly apt, in Kennedy’s view, as the United States is winding down military action overseas – while also confronting new threats. “When we entered these wars, I don’t think there was a lot of discussion or debate about what the exit strategy was going to be,” she said. “And I think as we think about other engagements – getting back into Iraq or taking on ISIS – that we really need to be asking those questions.”

Although there’s no direct line drawn from the past to the present in “Last Days in Vietnam,” the parallels are inescapable.

“I don’t want anyone to make connections because of me and my own sense of politics,” Kennedy said. “Because when you think about what a documentary is in its original form and intent, it’s a document.”
