Landerman sentenced to life in prison 22-year-old man is final defendant in 2013 Hickory Street murders More online

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Adam M. Landerman is 22 years old – the same age Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover Jr. were when they were murdered on Jan. 9, 2013.

Landerman will now spend the rest of his days behind bars after being sentenced Friday by Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak to life in prison. State law required a life sentence after he was found guilty earlier this year of both Adam M. murders.

Landerman “Every day I am confronted with the fact that my son is never coming back. It feels like a nightmare that I can’t wake up from,” Glover’s mother, Nicole Jones, Eric Glover Jr. said Friday. “I find myself thinking if I can just get through the holidays, his birthday, the month he was murdered, I will be OK. But the truth is, it is never OK. It will never be the same.”

Landerman is the fiTerrance nal defendant to face triRankins al for the Hickory Street slayings. Glover and Rankins were lured to Alisa Massaro’s house in the 1100 block of North Hickory Street in

Jamille Kent, mother of Terrance Rankins, speaks to the media Friday, outside the Will County Courthouse in Joliet after Adam Landerman was sentenced to life in prison for his part in the 2013 Hickory Street killings of Rankins and Eric Glover. Landerman was convicted of the murders in June.

Joliet, where they expected to party with Massaro and Bethany McKee. But Joshua Miner and Landerman plotted with the women to rob Glover and Rankins for cigarette money. Miner strangled Rankins while Landerman strangled Glover.

Miner and McKee were found guilty of murder in separate trials and also are serving life sentences. Massaro pleaded guilty to lesser charges in exchange for offering to testify against

the others, but she was only called as a witness in the McKee case.

After the murders, the four suspects got $120, which they used to buy gas for McKee’s car and cocaine from Landerman’s dealer, according to investigators. They returned to the Hickory Street house, where they desecrated the bodies and made plans to dismember them before police interrupted them.

Landerman is the son of Joliet po-

lice officer Julie Larson. Will County Assistant Public Defender April Simmons said Landerman “is a human being” who has other traits besides what prosecutors focused on.

But Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said Landerman’s “true face ... is that of a sociopath.”

Glasgow noted evidence showed Landerman came up with the plan to destroy the victims’ cell phones and hide their car in another neighborhood after the murders.

Landerman told the judge he went along with the plan because he was scared what Miner would do to him. He also said the mandatory life sentence was “wrong.”

“That night was a tragedy. ...

There’s days I wish I’d sacrificed myself in order to save them,” Landerman said. “I’m not denying I was there. I can’t change the past. I can’t change what happened.”

“I chose to be a coward and [expletive] save myself instead of help them,” Landerman said.

“Bull,” Nicole Jones said later.

“There’s no remorse. He didn’t even apologize to the families.”

Winning by losing: The road to a healthier lifestyle Sometimes when you lose, you actually win.

That’s how I’ve been feeling the past few weeks, since my doctor told me that thanks to shedding about 20 pounds, she has taken away the pre-diabetes diagnosis I was given earlier this year.

It was thrilling to get her news, but I’m not going to lie – getting to go buy new pants because the old ones were too big was pretty awesome, too.

It hasn’t been easy. I had hoped I would have lost more weight by now.

I’ve had setbacks and stumbled. I’ve had nights where instead of a salad for dinner, I opted for a hot dog and cheese fries. There were days where staying in bed or going home after work won out over exercising.

But I also have spent many an hour at the Galowich branch of the Greater

VIEWS Kate Schott Joliet Area YMCA, on treadmills or the track. I realized exercising at night wasn’t working, so now I get up earlier and hit the gym before I head to work. I can’t remember the last time I had a soda. Moving the candy dish off my desk to my bookshelf in my office has reduced (but not yet eliminated) the number of bite-sized treats I consume in a day.

It’s been a series of small steps that has resulted in a healthier me. I feel the first major hurdle has been cleared, and it’s time to set my sights on the next one – which seems higher than the first.

Unlike when I started this journey, however, I know I have the stamina and ability to do it. I have seen and felt the benefits of taking better care of myself. There is determination, and motivation, to keep going.

Here’s to the next step.

Will County heroin overdose deaths on pace to beat 2012’s record year

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JHN

LOCKPORT – A glass plaque with the well-known “Serenity Prayer” rested gently against Amie Toste’s kitchen window, a silent reminder for the recovering heroin addict to stay the course when life doesn’t go her way.

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference,” the plaque reads.

“It’s about understanding what you can and cannot do and leaving the rest to God,” said Toste, 38, of Lockport. “I walk around saying it every day.”

Although sober for two years, Toste and her longtime boyfriend, Toby Hicks, are no strangers to heroin’s fatal grip.

Before entering treatment in 2013, Hicks nearly died from a drug overdose. The 40-yearold wouldn’t be alive if first responders had not revived him using Narcan – a nasal spray that reverses the effects of an opiate overdose.

“It saved my life,” Hicks said.

The couple’s story is similar to that of numerous other families in Will County who have come face-to-face with the deadly drug.

Thirty-six people have died so far in 2015 in Will County from heroin overdoses, with two additional deaths under investigation, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

It’s a statistic no one wants to beat, but Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil said the county in 2015 likely will outpace 2012’s record of 53 deaths.

It raises the question of whether the county is seeing a resurgence in heroin use after two straight years of declining fatalities in 2013 and 2014.

It’s an epidemic many hoped to see wane with concerted efforts by local and state officials to educate communities about

Amie Toste and Toby Hicks talk Sept. 14 about their experience with drug addiction, including being addicted to heroin. The Lockport couple have been clean for two years and work with other addicts to aid in their recovery. the dangers of the addictive drug and opiate prescription medications, which are often the gateway to heroin.

Over the years, the problem has gained attention thanks to the creation of groups like the Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization, or HERO, along with educational forums, public awareness events and support groups designed to bring together family members who have lost loved ones.

“There’s no rhyme or reason with this drug. The old philosophy was that it was a bigcity problem, but it’s not. This is a problem that remains and hits small communities and the suburbs,” O’Neil said.

In one of the more recent deaths, a 35-year-old Joliet man overdosed Aug. 29 from a com-

bined drug intoxication that included acetyl fentanyl – a lethally potent heroin substitute.

It marks Will County’s first reported death involving this form of the drug, which concerns O’Neil. “[Acetyl fentanyl] is five times more powerful than what’s on the street right now,” O’Neil said. “If it’s any indication of what’s out there, we may end up dealing with a monumental rash of more fatalities.”

Hicks said despite the recent decline in Will County deaths, heroin is an epidemic that never really went away – just as someone’s personal battle with heroin is an ongoing struggle.

“People say, ‘Oh yeah, you’ve been clean for two

years,’ but there’s still a lot going on. There’s still a lot left to learn about ourselves,” he said.

A battle on all fronts

With the epidemic far from over, state and local officials continue the aggressive battle against heroin on all fronts.

That includes lawmakers’ recent decision to override Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of landmark anti-heroin legislation, stepping up education and prevention efforts and equipping law enforcement officials with the heroin overdose antidote known as Narcan.

The long-championed bill creates a heroin and opiate prevention program for public schools statewide, makes Narcan more widely available, prevents the over-prescription

Recovery centers dipping into reserves to maintain services tion, because of the bipartisan effort by lawmakers to overwhelmingly reject Rauner’s veto.

While it’s a drug that knows no bounds, O’Neil said the bright side is that the number of teen heroin deaths in Will County has decreased dramatically – from 15 to four between 2012 and 2014 – thanks to efforts to educate high school students about the dangers of heroin abuse in the area.

• HEROIN

Continued from page 3 funding cuts year after year, is leaving its mark on recovery centers’ ability to quell the growing addiction problem.

It’s an “awful situation” to be in, said Peter McLenighan, executive director of Stepping Stones in Joliet, where Hicks and Toste sought treatment two years ago.

Recovery centers statewide are being forced to dip into cash reserves and pull from lines of credit to maintain services levels, “trusting that the Legislature will not let this stand” much longer, McLenighan said.

For the 650 people annually served at Stepping Stones, there’s twice as many who seek services but never receive them. About 21 percent of those treated at the center are battling heroin addictions, compared to 12 percent in 2009.

Although no budget is in place, McLenighan received a state contract earlier this year calling for a 38.5 percent reduction in funding for Stepping Stones – or about $389,000 less than the previous year. State monetary support has dropped from $1.2 million in 2008 to $970,000 in 2014, according to Stepping Stones data.

There’s a three-to-fourweek waiting list for the center’s most intensive residential services, but that likely will rise if the budget impasse is not resolved quickly. McLenighan knows of at least three people who have died of overdoses while awaiting services in his 30-plus years in the business. But he said he’s certain there are more.

We’ve literally had the mom call and say, ‘Cancel the appointment for my daughter because she overdosed,’ ” McLenighan said. “It changes their lives forever.”

While the number of people requiring heroin treatment is reaching historic highs nationally, Illinois treatment admissions for heroin are significantly higher than the country as a whole, according to an August 2015 report from the Illinois Consortium on Drug Policy at Roosevelt University in Chicago.

Yet Illinois ranked first in the U.S. for decline in treatment capacity between 2007 and 2012, according to the report, titled “Diminishing Capacity: The Heroin Crisis and Illinois Treatment in National Perspective.”

Waking up on death’s doorstep

Law enforcement agencies across Will County are now trained to administer the heroin overdose antidote Narcan, which reverses the effects of an overdose by restoring the

victim’s breathing – if administered in time.

The use of Narcan remains controversial. Critics say it encourages drug use but supporters argue it gives drug users a second chance at life if they choose to seek help.

“Abstinence is the goal but we want to keep them alive long enough to find sobriety,” McLenighan said.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Edgar Gregory said officers saved two Joliet men’s lives in the past month by administering Narcan. But it’s up to the user to decide whether to seek treatment.

“You hope they get treatment,” Gregory said. “You hope it serves as a wake-up call.”

McLenighan and other addiction treatment experts are applauding lawmakers’ decision this month to override the governor’s veto of House Bill 1, also known as the Heroin Crisis Act. Those seeking treatment may now find it easier to get health insurance to cover the costs for therapy and medica-

Toste’s and Hicks’ road to recovery – backdropped by a decades-long family cycle of drug addiction – has not been easy, but the couple is deep within the recovery process and frequently works with other addicts to aid their own recovery.

“What addiction does to you is it takes your mental, spiritual and physical self so far apart. Recovery makes that whole,” Toste said. “Being so involved like we are now, sponsoring people and having sponsors, there’s a difference in just being sober and being in recovery.”

With five children at home – including an 18-year-old son who knows what track marks look like and is well aware of the couple’s battle with heroin – Hicks and Toste know there’s much at stake.

“When you’re an addict, you don’t mean to take away innocence from your kids but you end up exposing them to stuff you can’t take back,” Toste said.

With tears in her eyes, she recalled a recent conversation with Hicks.

“I looked at Toby and asked, ‘Is it possible for us to not have drug addicts as kids?’ ” she said. “I hope it’s possible.’ ”

Caterpillar may cut last production lines Company considers converting Joliet to a distribution facility

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Caterpillar Inc. may end manufacturing altogether at its Joliet plant, which has been producing parts for the company since 1951.

The company said Friday it is contemplating moving the last production lines of truck hoist and strut cylinders from Joliet to a Caterpillar plant near Monterrey, Mexico.

The Joliet facility would continue to operate as a supply chain hub, said Caterpillar spokeswoman Lisa Miller.

That plan affects 40 fulltime positions. Twenty production positions would remain but be converted to logistics jobs.

“The transition of production would begin in the first quarter of 2017. Caterpillar intends to finalize this contemplated decision in the fourth quarter of 2015,” Miller said in an email.

Union employees in the Advanced Components & Systems Division were notified about the plans Friday morning, said Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, who also serves as the secretary-treasurer for Machinists District 8.

The company said in March that it would cut hundreds of jobs at the Joliet plant and move some production lines to Mexico.

The plant has about 660 employees right now, including about 430 managerial and 230 manufacturing workers. At one time, the Joliet factory employed nearly 7,000 workers.

Miller said Friday the company did not have a “timeline or announcement” for the re-

maining 430 managerial positions.

The news came one day after Caterpillar announced that it planned to cut 10,000 jobs through 2018 in the face of significant downturns in its key industries. The cuts and restructuring are designed to save the company about $1.5 billion.

Warren Dorris, who worked at the Joliet plant and was sent to Monterrey to help move production there in 1989, said Caterpillar employed nearly 7,000 workers in Joliet in the late 1970s.

After some downsizing, the jobs held steady for some time, he said.

“It helped build a lot of

churches and took care of a lot of families,” Dorris said.

Then the Rust Belt Recession of the 1980s ushered in an era of declining employment.

Caterpillar in its Thursday announcement said that as many as 5,000 jobs will be cut by the end of this year from its salaried and management workforce, and thousands more will follow by 2018 as the company decides which of its factories will close.

Caterpillar, which built the Joliet factory now leases it from CenterPoint Properties. The lease expires in 2018.

No answers yet on why Illinois ag director quit Seneca farmer well known in Grundy, Will area

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – The resignation of Seneca farmer Philip Nelson as Illinois Department of Agriculture director on Thursday came as a shock to local agriculture advocates.

“It’s very disappointing for the agriculture community,” Tasha Bunting, manager Grundy County Farm Bureau, said on Friday. “Phil Nelson was a great advocate for agriculture. He was on a forward moving track for agriculture in Illinois.”

Nelson is well regarded by farmers in Grundy and Will counties. He is a former president of the Illinois Farm Bureau and a graduate from the agriculture program at Joliet Junior College.

Gov. Bruce Rauner said in a news release on Thursday that he had accepted the resignation of Nelson, who will remain employed with the Department of Agriculture for the next 30 days to help with the transition.

There was no reason given for the resignation.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

At a Mazon farm last week Gov. Bruce Rauner and Illinois Department of Agriculture Director Phil Nelson spoke before signing a letter of intent to buy Illinois grain with Taiwan agriculture officials.

Illinois State Rep. John Anthony, R-Plainfield, who sits on the House agriculture committee said Nelson brought “a lifetime of experience” to the job as a fourth-generation farmer.

“Just last week, I was with him in Mazon for the signing of a major ag partnership

with the nation of Taiwan,” Anthony said. “I know from working with Director Nelson that his knowledge and commitment to Illinois agriculture is unmatched.”

Anthony said he doesn’t know the reason behind the resignation but was confident that Rauner “will appoint a

new director that will carry forward the work to strengthen the state’s commitment to farmers, farm families and the growth of our ag manufacturing industry.”

An employee at Nelson’s office in Springfield said on Friday that Department of Agriculture Chief of Staff

Warren Goetsch had already become acting director until a replacement is found.

“I appreciate Director Nelson’s commitment to agriculture and his service to the people of Illinois,” Rauner said in the news release. “I wish him all the best.”

Nelson was named as director in January this year with the support of the agriculture community.

Nelson is not only a farmer, but also a previous president of the Illinois Farm Bureau.

Mark Schneidewind, Will County Farm Bureau manager, said he was disappointed by the announcement.

“There are a lot of tough things coming with the budget,” Schneidewind said.

“Phil would have been a good advocate.”

He said he was always in the trenches every day trying to help the agriculture community.

Nelson is a 1978 graduate of the agriculture program at Joliet Junior college. In 2012, he received JJC’s Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award.

Patrick Buchen, who was named fair director under Nelson, also stepped down on Thursday.

Calls to Nelson and Buchen were not returned Friday.

School bus crash in Plainfield led to no injuries

PLAINFIELD – A minor accident Thursday involving a school bus with kids and a van led to no injuries or apparent damage.

The accident occurred about 4:25 p.m. near the intersection of Caton Farm Road and Golfview Street, Deputy Fire Chief Jon Stratton said.

Stratton said accounts suggest the bus was turning onto Golfview and bumped the van, which drove away after the accident without apparently sustaining any damage.

The bus was carrying about 60 students, but no one suffered any injuries, Stratton said.

Crews were called out to check on the students.

“It was literally nothing,” Stratton said, noting that the bus did not sustain any damage.

No citations were issued in the incident, Stratton said.

CHANNAHON – A semitrailer driver, who died in an accident early Friday, probably died of natural causes, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

The accident at 4:35 a.m. led to Thomas Dillon Drive being shut down at U.S. 6 for nearly three hours as authorities removed the semitrailer.

The road was reopened at 7:20 a.m.

Thomas A. Schumacher, 47, of Florida had been driving north on Interstate 55 and left the interstate at U.S. 6. As he reached U.S. 6 from the off ramp, he crossed the highway and went off the road in an area between Thomas Dillon Drive and another I-55 ramp, said Channahon Deputy Police Chief Adam Bogart.

Bogart said police could not determine if Schumacher’s death was caused by the accident or if something happened before he lost control of the truck.

The Will County Coroner’s Office said late Friday afternoon that Schumacher likely died of natural causes. An autopsy will

be performed.

He was declared dead at 5:20 a.m. at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet.

Truck driver dies in Channahon accident

Joliet looks to add several business taxing districts

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – City officials want to create special property tax districts in business areas around Joliet.

The plan presented last week could start as soon next year in two areas – the Jefferson Street corridor and a large section of the south end of the city that includes the CenterPoint Intermodal Center-Joliet, Chicagoland Speedway and even Hollywood Casino.

City Manager Jim Hock told a City Council committee that money raised by the special taxes could be put back into the business districts for incentives to attract business and to pay for an economic development professional.

“What we’re proposing is a focus on economic development,” Hock said.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk called the concept “a great idea. I think it’s a key component of economic development that this organization could give incentives for businesses to move into the area.”

The proposal is to create the same kind of Special Service Area that taxes businesses downtown. Money from that tax is used to fund the City Center Partnership, which promotes the downtown area, sponsors events and provides grants to bring in new businesses.

“The City Center is an SSA already,” Hock said. “It’s not something new. It’s been around the state for years.”

Special Service Areas are used to create property taxes that apply only to those areas.

In the City Center, the money raised by the tax goes to the

Potential special service areas for Joliet Possibly starting in 2016: Jefferson Street CenterPoint Intermodal Center-Joliet For the future: Louis Joliet Mall Essington Road Route 59 Larkin Avenue Ruby Street city but is used strictly for that area and spent in cooperation with a board that oversees the SSA. Hock said similar boards would be created for other SSAs if they are established by the city.

The proposal was presented at the Joliet City Council’s Economic Development Committee on Wednesday. It was not on the agenda for the meeting but was brought as new business.

Hock said he is trying to do the work needed to have SSAs created for Jefferson Street and the south end of the city by next year. But he did not know if they could be ready by then.

He also presented a list of other possible Special Service Areas that included pockets of commercial areas throughout Joliet, including the area around the Louis Joliet Mall that is one of the most active business development markets in the city.

Other potential future SSAs on the list included: Route 59 and Caton Farm Road; Route 59 and Theodore Street; Essington Road; Larkin Avenue; and Ruby Street.

QUICK NEWS

Joliet mayor wants more police, more events downtown

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk on Friday announced two police officers will be assigned to foot patrol downtown to increase a sense of security.

It was the second time in recent weeks O’Dekirk focused attention on the downtown business district. At a City Council meeting earlier this month, the mayor said he wants staff to develop more weekend events downtown during the summer.

In a news release announcing the beat officers downtown, O’Dekirk said the area “may be one of the safest areas in Joliet” with the presence of the police station, a county sheriff’s office and county courthouse. But people have the impression that downtown is not safe, he said.

“If we want to revitalize downtown Joliet, everyone needs to feel safe in addition to being safe,” O’Dekirk said in the release.

The foot patrol will include the new transportation center being built around Union Station, O’Dekirk said.

Meanwhile, the mayor also

wants city staff to brainstorm with the City Center Partnership, a group that promotes the downtown business district, to develop more downtown events in the summer.

O’Dekirk said Star Wars Day, Race Fan Rally, New Orleans Night and other events that bring thousands of people downtown show people will come downtown.

“I’d like to see the city be more aggressive in getting events during the warm weather months,” O’Dekirk said. “I think the city has shown that in the summer months when we open up downtown and have an event, it’s always well attended.”

Rod Tonelli, president of the City Center Partnership board, said the organization became more convinced of the appeal of downtown events this summer when three nighttime farmer markets were held.

Tonelli said the organization was “very pleasantly surprised by the feedback and attendance we had. ... It seems like there’s an appetite for events. If you provide some entertainment and a venue for people to enjoy themselves, they come out.”

Medical Center for injuries that were not life-threatening, Ackerson said.

Repairs to begin Monday at intersection in Joliet

JOLIET – The Canadian National Railroad will be completing repairs to the Mills Road railroad crossing (located between

Richards Street and Rowell Avenue) starting Monday and wrapping up Oct. 2.

The road will be completely closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic for the duration of the work, according to a news release from the city of Joliet.

A detour route utilizing

Richards Street, Route 52 and Rowell Avenue will be posted.

Drivers are advised to exercise caution and seek alternate routes when traveling in the area.

WILMINGTON – A 19-yearold Wilmington resident died Saturday from injuries from a dirt bike crash.

Ross C. Grskovic was the driver of a dirt bike that was struck by another dirt bike in the 23000 block of Widows Road in Wilmington Township, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

Grskovic was pronounced dead at 12:13 a.m. at the emergency room of Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, according to the Coroner’s Office.

Will County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Deputy Chief Rick Ackerson said the driver of the other dirt bike, Casey Grskovic, 20, of Wilmington was charged Saturday with aggravated driving under the influence involving a death.

Ackerson did not know if the two drivers were related.

Joliet, area cities seeing increase

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Video gaming brought in nearly $45,000 in tax revenue for Joliet in August – an increase from the $36,627 in revenue generated during the same time last year.

Joliet businesses raked in nearly $900,000 total during the month of August, according to the latest figures from the Illinois Gaming Board.

That’s compared to the $732,000 generated in August 2014.

Revenue stood at $15,659 in unincorporated Will County, with 25 establishments and 103 gaming terminals, an increase from $12,686 in August 2014. The Will County Board voted earlier this year to ban future video gaming development.

Statewide, gaming establishments generated about $75.9 million last month – up from $59 million in August 2014. The state’s share came in at $14.8 million, while municipalities statewide received just under $3 million.

Video gaming continues to see revenue gains despite a slowdown of terminals being turned on statewide since the industry went live in 2012.

New Lenox’s two establishments – the Harry E. Anderson VFW Post 9545 and the Thomas E. Hartung American Legion Post 1977 – brought in about $62,095 in August.

That’s up from $52,922 in August 2014.

In Romeoville, gaming machines brought in $204,922 last month – nearly double the $117,000 generated in August 2014.

Crest Hill’s 18 establishments and 72 gaming machines brought in about $191,600 in August – up from $139,600 in August 2014.

The biggest money-makers in Joliet were Blackhawk Restaurant Group LLC’s three locations, Lenny’s Rt. 66 Fuel Stop, and McBride’s two locations.

Just one Joliet establishment – owned by San Benedetto, LLC – saw a loss in revenue.

The amount played at the establishment’s two gaming terminals in August, $10,288.13, came in $14.08 lower than the amount won, $10,302.01.

When asked Friday about San Benedetto’s win-lose ratio, Phillip Blood, an office associate with the Illinois Gaming Board, said it does happen, although it’s very rare.

Rules regulate that video gaming terminals stay within an average range of win-tolose ratios through the life of the machine, he said.

Medication disposal drop box returning

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The pharmaceutical drop box is back at the Plainfield Police Department.

Starting Monday, a community drop box for pharmaceutical disposal will return to the police department lobby at 14300 S. Coil Plus Drive after a partnership was formed with Indiana-based Covanta Secure Services for drug disposal.

Covanta, a sustainable waste and energy solutions company, will incinerate drugs collected in the drop box at no direct cost to Plainfield police or the village.

The company is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Plainfield Commander Kevin Greco said.

“This is exactly what we were looking for,” Greco said.

“It’s a free service to the Midwest area. The only catch is we have to get it there, which

is still cheaper than the police or village paying for disposal.”

Among the costs are transportation, which includes drive time, gas and lunch for the two sworn officers who will take the medications to Indianapolis once or twice per year.

Greco said the police department will look at partnering up with other municipalities who use Covanta’s service to further cut costs.

The police department had to suspend the drop box program in May after the Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA, changed its regulations, pushing drug disposal costs on to individual police departments.

Since then, the DEA notified Plainfield that the federal agency would start up the drug take-back program again.

But Greco said the department partnered with Covanta after reading a Morris Herald-News article about Coal City partnering with the company.

“I was very surprised when I spoke to a [Covanta] spokesman,” Greco said.

“The price of getting the pharmaceutical waste there is worth it.”

Illinois’ water woes

News from across the state

Activists warn budget impasse may mean more landfill garbage

SPRINGFIELD – Environmental groups have warned that the state budget standoff could lead to more trash headed to landfills across Illinois.

The Illinois Environmental Council wrote its members about the potential cancellation of recycling grant programs run by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, according to a story this week by the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers. It warned of the potential layoffs of three workers who oversee the programs.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democrat-controlled state Legislature can’t agree on a spending plan for the fiscal year that began on July 1. Rauner announced layoffs and closures to keep spending in check until there was a budget. Three people who oversee programs diverting waste from landfills were to be laid off Oct. 1.

But the layoffs are on hold as a judge considers workers’ arguments brought by labor unions.

“It’s unfortunate that this is going on,” said Michelle Lechner, executive director of the Illinois Recycling Association. “Hopefully things will get back up and running when they get a budget.”

Lawsuit: cop disabled dash cam before abusing motorist

CHICAGO – A lawsuit filed against the Chicago Police Department alleged an officer deliberately turned off a dashboard camera during a road stop and mistreated the motorist.

WBBM-TV Chicago reported the case is compelling because it involves a supervisor with the Independent Police Review

AP file photo

A flood wall is the only thing protecting the town of Beardstown Wednesday from a rising Illinois River. Illinois is framed and crossed by water, bounded by the Mississippi, the Ohio, the Wabash; cut diagonally by the Illinois and dotted with lakes and blessed with a glittering 60 mile slice of Lake Michigan shoreline. Yet the problems that imperil drinking water supplies in other parts of the U.S. also threaten Illinois.

Authority, which investigates police misconduct.

According to the lawsuit, George Roberts was pulled over on Chicago’s South Side on suspicion of drunken driving.

Attorney Tim Fiscella says after Roberts was pulled over, another officer arrived as backup. A minute later, he runs back to his squad car and turns off the dashboard camera.

The federal lawsuit claims officers threatened, pushed and mistreated Roberts once the camera went dark. A police spokesman declined comment, citing the pending litigation.

Roberts was tried on a DUI charge and found not guilty.

Kirk campaign launches attack on Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO – Sen. Mark Kirk’s campaign has launched an unusual public attack on a Chicago Tribune reporter, accusing him

of “bullying” former and current staff members with questions about allegations that the Illinois Republican has been physically and verbally abusive toward employees.

Kevin Artl, who is Kirk’s re-election campaign manager, released a memo this week in which he said Tribune reporter Todd Lighty had contacted more than 15 people connected with Kirk, including current and former staffers and the senator’s sister and mother. According to Artl, Lighty has identified four former staffers who the reporter says were subjected to abusive treatment. Artl said those staffers have denied any abuse took place. More broadly, the campaign denies that Kirk has been abusive toward any staff members.

The criticism is especially unusual because it preceded the publication of any story. The Tribune declined to say Saturday

whether it even planned to go forward with a story, saying it does not comment on unpublished reporting. But it did issue a statement defending the conduct of Lighty, saying “good reporters ask tough questions.”

Metra to test free wireless internet on 10 cars

CHICAGO – Metro Chicago’s commuter rail agency plans to offer free wireless internet to passengers on 10 cars to test whether to offer the service system-wide.

Metra announced Friday the cars will be retrofitted with cellular “hot spots” by January. The agency wants to determine if the technology will provide dependable access to the internet.

CEO Don Orseno said if customers like the level of service and it’s financially feasible Metra will seek funding or sponsorships to install Wi-Fi on more railcars.

The six-month pilot project will cost about $35,000.

Metra also plans to provide free wireless access in waiting areas at all five downtown Chicago rail stations within 45 days.

Naperville spends $760K to recover from cyberattack

NAPERVILLE – Naperville city officials have spent about $760,000 on rebuilding its online network three years after a cyberattack wreaked havoc.

City officials told the Chicago Tribune insurance covered about 25 percent of the cost. Officials say there’s no evidence of stolen data.

City Manager Doug Krieger said Naperville has invested in stronger defense systems for its computer systems and online presence. He says the systems are attacked a half-a-million times a day.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS 43 Mexican students’ disappearance marked

MEXICO CITY – Thousands of people marked the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of 43 students by marching down Mexico City’s premier avenue in an atmosphere of defiant hope Saturday.

Activists said the movement might bring justice for Mexico’s disappeared, though only two of the students’ remains have been identified by DNA analysis of charred bone fragments.

While the march was smaller than past demonstrations, the case has helped publicize the thousands who have gone missing since Mexico’s drug war started in 2006.

More than 25,000 people disappeared in Mexico between 2007 and July 31, 2015, according to the government. Unidentified bodies often turn up in clandestine graves of the kind used by drug gangs to dispose of victims.

But most people disappear without a trace.

The 43 students from a radical teachers college disappeared on Sept. 26, 2014, after a clash with police in Iguala, a city in the southern state of Guerrero.

Can House GOP be led?

WASHINGTON – The gulf between tea party conservatives and establishment Republicans has grown so wide that it just swallowed up the speaker of the House and may threaten the entire Republican Party and

Congress itself.

The question now is whether anyone can tame the House’s rabble-rousing faction, following Speaker John Boehner’s decision to resign rather than face a possible vote to depose him.

The stakes are sky-high, given the critical deadlines looming to keep the government running and raise the nation’s borrowing limit.

Yet with the GOP presidential contest riding an anti-establishment wave, it’s become practically compulsory for the candidates to denounce Republican congressional leaders at the first sign of compromise.

Supermoon plus eclipse equals rare sky show

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Get ready for a rare double feature, starring our very own moon.

A total lunar eclipse will share the stage with a socalled supermoon Sunday night or early Monday, depending where you are. That combination hasn’t been seen since 1982 and won’t happen again until 2033.

When a full or new moon makes its closest approach to Earth, that’s a supermoon.

Although still about 220,000 miles away, this full moon will look bigger and brighter than usual. In fact, it will be the closest full moon of the year, about 30,000 miles closer than the average distance.

Pope Francis arrives in his popemobile to speak in front of Independence Hall Saturday in Philadelphia.

Pope visits Philadelphia, extols America’s founding ideals The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – He spoke at Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed. He stood at the very lectern Abraham Lincoln used to deliver the Gettysburg Address. And he stepped forward to the stirring strains of “Fanfare for the Common Man.” In a scene rich with historical symbolism, Pope Francis arrived in the City of Brotherly Love on Saturday, offering warm and affectionate words of welcome to immigrants and extolling America’s founding ideals of liberty and equality.

“Those ringing words continue to inspire us today,” the pope said of the Declaration of Independence, “even as they have inspired peoples throughout the world to fight for the freedom to live in accordance with their dignity.”

He cited the abolition of slavery, the growth of the labor movement and the fight for racial equality as proof that “when a country is determined to remain true to its founding principles, based on respect for human dignity, it is strengthened and renewed.”

At the same time, Francis warned that religious freedom is under threat. But it was not the hard-hitting discussion some conservative American bishops may have wanted to hear.

Loath to get dragged into domestic culture wars, the pope did not mention gay marriage, abortion or government-mandated birth control coverage by name, speaking of threats to religious liberty in broader, more global terms.

He decried “a world where various forms of modern tyranny seek to suppress religious freedom, or try to reduce it to a subculture without right to a voice in the public square, or to use religion as a pretext for hatred and brutality.”

Using the occasion instead to embrace other causes close to his heart, Francis encouraged immigrants in the crowd of 40,000 to celebrate their heritage and traditions, and he assured them they are of value to America.

“By contributing your gifts, you will not only find your place here, you will help to renew society from within,” the first pope from Latin America said in his native

Spanish.

On Saturday night, tens of thousands gathered on the wide Benjamin Franklin Parkway for a music-andprayer festival featuring Aretha Franklin, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, actor Mark Wahlberg and comedian Jim Gaffigan. Francis was cheered by crowds on the sidewalks as he made his way to the site in his popemobile.

Francis came to Philadelphia to close out the World Meeting of Families, a Vatican-sponsored conference of more than 18,000 people from around the world. He found a city practically under lockdown, with blocked-off streets and checkpoints manned by police, National Guardsmen and border agents.

There had been fears that visitors might be scared away by the security, and, in fact, train ridership was lower than expected, some streets were eerily quiet, and a vendor of pope sunglasses cut his price from $15 to $10 for lack of business.

It remains to be seen if the expected 1 million people turn out for Francis’ final Mass in the U.S., on the Parkway on Sunday.

By ALI AKBAR DAREINI The Associated Press

Europe shifts to working together on migrant crisis The ASSOCIATED PRESS STROSINCI, Croatia – Cooperation replaced confrontation Saturday among European nations as thousands of asylum-seekers streamed into Croatia in hopes of creating a new future in Western Europe.

Despite steps that should eventually ease the chaos, the sheer number of people flooding into Croatia strained the resources of one of the European Union’s poorest nations. At least 10,000 arrived on Friday alone, and Croatian authorities struggled to keep up with the influx of

those fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

At one tiny border crossing point, Croatian police said thousands were abandoned at a remote crossing after Serb authorities bused them to a point near the village of Strosinci and left.

U.S. criticizes China ahead of U.N. women’s equality session

By EDITH M. LEDERER The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS – The United States and human rights organizations sharply criticized China’s repression and imprisonment of women’s rights activists ahead of a high-level U.N. meeting Sunday to promote women’s equality. The session will be co-chaired by China’s President Xi Jinping.

China hosted the last major U.N. women’s conference in Beijing in 1995, and Xi has been proclaiming the importance of women’s human rights. But Amnesty International’s Roseann Rife said on Saturday Beijing’s stance was “hypocritical” when the

government continues to jail women activists.

Liesl Gerntholtz of Human Rights Watch said China’s participation should include “the brave Chinese women fighting for change,” not just “the repressive government.”

Over the past three weeks, U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power has put the photos of 20 women activists in the window of the U.S. Mission across the street from U.N. headquarters. She said the women – including three from China – should be at Sunday’s meeting, not in jail.

The first photo that went up was of leading Chinese human rights lawyer Wang Yu, who has campaigned against sexual harassment of school

girls and defended women’s rights activists. She was arrested in July and is being held at a secret location on suspicion of “inciting subversion of state power.”

But China isn’t the only country targeted for repressing women activists. The U.S. campaign also includes three women from Ethiopia, two each from Azerbaijan, Myanmar and Vietnam, and one each from Iran, Eritrea, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Venezuela and Syria. Ukrainian helicopter pilot Nadezhda Savchenko, who was seized by pro-Russian separatists and is facing charges in Russia, and an unnamed North Korean political prisoner also are among the 20 women.

People move in order to clear a police line Saturday after entering Croatia from Serbia in Strosinci, Croatia.

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran on Saturday vowed to take international legal action against Saudi Arabia’s rulers over the crush of Muslim pilgrims at this year’s hajj, which killed at least 769 people, including 136 Iranians, and has led to an escalation of tensions between the regional archrivals.

The pilgrims suffocated or were trampled to death Thursday when two massive crowds converged on a narrow street, in the worst disaster to occur during the annual pilgrimage in a quarter-century. Shiite Iran has accused Sunni Saudi Arabia of mismanaging the pilgrimage, which annually draws some 2 million people from 180 countries.

Iranians comprise the largest group of casualties identified so far. Iranian state TV says a former ambassador to Lebanon, as well as two Iranian state TV reporters and a prominent political analyst are among those still missing.

The semi-official Fars news agency said a former ambassador to Slovenia was among the dead.

“Under international law, this incident is absolutely subject to prosecution. The Al-Saud must be responsive,” Iran’s State Prosecutor Ebrahim Raisi told state TV, referring to Saudi Arabia’s ruling family.

He said Saudi authorities blocked a road used by hajj pilgrims to allow a royal convoy to pass through, causing the deadly convergence in the town of Mina on the outskirts of Mecca.

“They have to know that we will pursue the trial of Al-Saud for the crime they have committed against the hajj pilgrims through international courts and organizations.”

Neither Iran nor Saudi Arabia is a state party to the International Criminal Court, and only the court’s prosecutor can file charges. Iran could try to file a case at the International Court of Justice, which handles

disputes between nations but does not mete out criminal justice.

Saudi Arabia has not responded to the Iranian accusations regarding the convoy. Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour al-Turki told The Associated Press that a VIP convoy traveling through Mina on Thursday, which included foreign dignitaries, had nothing to do with the incident and was in a different part of town. He said VIPs use their own roads in Mina.

Iran and Saudi Arabia are bitterly divided on a host of regional issues and support opposite sides in the wars raging in Syria and Yemen. The accusations of mismanagement of the pilgrimage strike at a key pillar of the Saudi royal family’s prestige – King Salman holds the title of the “custodian of the two holy mosques.”

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani began an address to the U.N. General Assembly on Saturday by expressing “regret over the heart-rending incident,” emphasizing the “need for swift attention” to an investigation into “this incident and other similar incidents in this year’s hajj.”

Rouhani told a group of editors Friday that both the stampede and the collapse of a crane on the Grand Mosque in Mecca earlier this month -- which killed another 111 people -- suggested “ineptitude” on the part of Saudi authorities.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry meanwhile summoned the Saudi charge d’affaires for a third time in three days to protest Riyadh’s handling of the disaster.

State TV said Saudi Arabia has yet to issue visas for an Iranian delegation to visit the kingdom to oversee the treatment of injured Iranians and the repatriation of remains.

The Saudi Health Ministry said Saturday on Twitter that the toll from the hajj disaster stood at 769 pilgrims killed and 934 injured, updating previous figures. It did not provide the nationalities of the dead and injured.

Prodehl gets ‘Preserving the Trust’ Award The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Ed Prodehl, owner and president of Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell, has received Coldwell Banker’s “Preserving the Trust” Award. This award is presented to a sales associate, manager, broker or owner affiliated with the Coldwell Banker brand in recognition of his or her generosity, leadership and excellence in championing the cause of home ownership during many years of service to the local community.

The announcement was made during the company’s annual conferEd Prodehl ence, the 2015 Generation Blue Experience, which took place from Sept. 16 to 18 in Chicago.

Prodehl was nominated by his peers and selected from more than 88,000 network members.

Prodehl started his real estate career 45 years ago. He now owns and operates two Coldwell Banker Companies. Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell, based in Joliet, has offices serving northern and central Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin.

Prodehl also recently acquired Coldwell Banker The Real Estate Group, which has offices serving east-central Wisconsin including Green Bay, Oshkosh, Appleton and Door County.

The two companies have a combined 51 offices and more than 1,200 agents which together represent the No. 1 producing Coldwell Banker franchise in the United States, with just under 19,000 transactions and a sales volume of nearly $2.8 billion.

“It is very humbling to accept this award. I undoubtedly credit my success to the hard work of my sales associates and my devoted family who I have the pleasure of working alongside. Success in business is wonderful, but it means nothing if there is not a strong commitment to ethics. I have always strived to be real, honest and considerate of everyone I have met,” Prodehl said.

Taking a look at Apple’s future Dear Mr. Berko: I bought 50 shares of Apple in August 2012 at $638, which cost me $31,900. Two years later, after a 7-for-1 split, I have 350 shares at $113, worth $39,550. When the company announced its Apple Watch sales last April, the stock was $135.

The Apple Watch was a mistake, and now the company wants to produce a driverless car – which may be a bust, too. Has the positive inertia created

by Steve Jobs disappeared? Now I wonder whether Apple can return to my purchase price or I should sell it to preserve my $7,650 gain. – TJ, Minneapolis Dear TJ: I’m not privy to the sales

data on the Apple Watch, but some insiders suggest it is a flop. The company sold more than 230,000 Apple Watches, primarily to Apple addicts, the first day they hit the shelves.

Today, with 460 Apple Stores from Cucamonga to Kokomo, Apple sells about five watches per store per day, compared with nearly 500 per store on opening day. But don’t dismiss Apple because its watches may have tanked. Be mindful that Google is still a powerhouse in spite of the failure of Google freaks to put their imprimatur on Google Glass and a driverless car.

Apple (AAPL-$113) is so accepted that many iPhone users have no idea what they paid for their delightful devices. Last week, I asked a young adult what he paid for his new iPhone

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko 6, and he responded, “$100 a month.”

I asked him twice, but all he could tell me was $100 a month, including connectivity. This dunderhead has no inkling what his iPhone 6 would cost (without the data plan) if he had to pay cash. This is called “Apple power,” a tribute to AAPL’s enormous success when consumers buy a product without knowing the costs.

AAPL’s iPhone sales grew by more than 30 percent in each of the past three quarters. And the iPhone is the company’s most important product, accounting for 66 percent of revenues and 79 percent of profits. So thanks to easy credit – plus Visa, American Express and MasterCard – AAPL has become nearly immortal.

Americans don’t ask how much things cost. Rather, they ask, “Can I afford the monthly payments?” If banks keep credit easy, if you continue to be employed, if your mortgage rate remains at 4.2 percent and if inflation remains low, you can buy the new super-deluxe iPhone 7 next year.

So don’t sell your AAPL yet, though you might consider placing an open stop-loss order at $100 to protect some of your gain.

AAPL’s growth rates are not sustainable. They remind me of Carl Sagan’s musings about bacteria, which reproduce by dividing themselves in two. Under favorable conditions, bacteria can double every 15 minutes.

Although a bacterium weighs about a trillionth of a gram, its descendants, after a day of wild asexual abandon, can collectively weight as much as a mountain. But Apple isn’t a bacterium, and with iPhone sales accounting for $155 billion of the company’s $224 billion of revenues, AAPL is very nearly a one-product company.

Still, in the past two years, while the smartphone market has begun to slow, AAPL’s iPhone revenue has grown at its fastest pace. CEO Tim Cook and his acolytes have added some unique bells and whistles on the iPhone 6S to maintain the torrid revenue growth. Smartphone users replace their phones about every two years, and only 30 percent of AAPL customers have upgraded to the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. So Wall Street expects AAPL to earn $9.83 in 2016, and perhaps there’s room for AAPL to return to your basis. But keep that open order active, and be mindful of the market’s extreme volatility.

OUR VIEW

Harvest time means time to think of safety President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was not a noted agriculturalist, nevertheless proclaimed the first National Farm Safety and Health Week in 1944.

Realizing the importance of farming and ranching in achieving victory in World War II, FDR sought to encourage safer practices to preserve life and limb down on the farm.

The goal remains valid today; despite numerous technological advances, agriculture remains a dangerous occupation.

According to data from 2013, the most recent information available, about 500 people died that year in agriculture-related accidents, a rate of 23.2 deaths per 100,000 workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

President Barack Obama, in proclaiming last week the 72nd National Farm Safety and Health Week, noted that farmers “face considerable hazards in the course of their daily responsibilities.”

Obama reported on efforts his administration has taken to “mitigate and reduce risks” to farmers and farm workers, particularly in the areas of hazardous chemicals, machinery, silos and grain elevators.

“I call upon the agencies, organizations, businesses, and extension services that serve America’s agricultural workers to strengthen their commitment to promoting farm safety and health programs,” Obama said.

America’s commitment to farm safety has grown over the years. As hazardous situations are detected and publicized, ag leaders, organizations and the government come together to devise solutions to lessen the risk.

Grain bin safety is a case in point. After a spate of grain bin entrapment deaths in 2010, widespread effort was focused on improved prevention and rescue techniques.

Previously, after tractor rollover accidents claimed many lives, sustained efforts were directed toward creating rollover protective structures.

Collisions between motorists and slow-moving farm equipment on rural roadways prompted the Illinois Farm Bureau to produce a Rules of the Country Road pamphlet that encourages common-sense practices for sharing the road safely.

With harvest season fast approaching, motorists and farmers would be wise to review the 12-page pamphlet, which is available online.

Farm safety isn’t just the business of farmers; it is everybody’s business.

Please be alert and stay safe this harvest season.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Pastoral visit to a divided Capitol His Holiness Pope Francis left Washington, D.C., and this town was, at least momentarily, transformed with excitement, positivity, hope, even joy. People of every status wanted to get close to this remarkable man. Even those who only saw him wave from his car were left smiling and happy.

Everything, of course, did not come up all roses. There were bitter charges that the pope was being political. But, you know, that is the nature of Washington today. It says more about the people who make the charge than the pope.

The pope bases his sermons by drawing on ethical and moral values. No further evidence of that is needed than that his positions cut across party lines. As a practicing Catholic of deep faith, I should know.

When I worked in government in the 1990s, Washington had members of both parties

VIEWS Donna Brazile who were pro-life and for limiting marriage. In each party, there were substantial numbers who supported strict environmental standards. And there actually was a majority in both parties who voted for comprehensive immigration reform, which included amnesty legislation.

So it says a lot about the state of our politics, not the pope, when people can’t civilly hear a spiritual leader take positions that don’t follow our narrow, corrosive, partisan talking points.

The pope also addressed the clerics who administer to his flock and urged them to shift their positions from finger-pointing, rigid orthodoxy, and scolding or lecturing, to

listening and ministering by kindness and nudging. If that approach caught on in politics, it would be a major reform.

At the White House, the “people’s pope” staked out his spiritual guidance with gentleness. Pope Francis opened his remarks saying, “As the son of an immigrant family, I am happy to be a guest in this country, which was largely built by such families.”

Later, while touring the Ellipse around the White House, he motioned for the Secret Service to allow a little girl, stopped by them, to come to him. She is the American daughter of undocumented Mexican immigrants. She handed Francis a letter. In a childish scrawl, she asked for his help to keep her parents with her, a reminder of the sacrifices and impact of deportation.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Robert J. Pollack Shorewood

Time for a Constitutional Convention.

To the Editor: I have been reading over the years of rulings by state legislatures, and Congress, and activist judges and presidents, interpreting the Constitution in ways that the framers definitely didn’t mean. They know this, but play with the Constitution as if it were Silly Putty.

Times have changed since the framers wrote the Constitution. It’s time to bring it up to date. We need a Constitutional Convention. We need to make it very simple so that the lawyers (judges) can easily interpret it.

The purposes and powers of each branch of government should be made clear.

I had thought that we had three branches of government: Congress to make laws, a court system to interpret these laws for constitutionality if challenged and an executive branch to enforce these laws through the use of various departments of the government.

Now this isn’t so in all cases – unelected judges who answer to no one have overruled state legislatures, revoked voter-approved by a huge majority ballot referendums. Presidents have violated, by the use of executive privilege, the control on this branch to make laws. Also this

branch does not always do its duty to enforce laws declared constitutional.

Instead of letting this hypocrisy continue, why not create a new and simple constitution? Based on the major ideas of the old one I just mentioned, this nation is not a democracy, it is a republic. If it were a true democracy, Tilden and Gore would have been presidents.

Kim Davis not the lawless one

To the Editor: By refusing to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis is not the lawbreaker in Kentucky, but rather is the one who is upholding the law in Kentucky, since in 2004, 74.55 percent of the voters of Kentucky passed an amendment to their Constitution limiting marriage to one man and one woman.

It reads as follows: “Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.”

On Jan. 5, 2015, Kim Davis took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, “so help me God,” and that is what she is doing before her God. An opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court is not law, especially when that opinion has no basis in our U.S. Constitution, such as the majority ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges in the same-sex “marriage” case.

As Chief Justice John Roberts pointed

out in his dissenting opinion about the ruling, “The majority’s decision is an act of will, not legal judgment. The right it announces has no basis in the Constitution or this Court’s precedent.”

Unconstitutional rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court and resistance to them are not new in this nation. On March 6, 1857, in Dred Scott v. Sandford, the Court ruled that African-Americans, whether enslaved or free, could not be American citizens and therefore had no standing in federal court. This unconstitutional ruling was rightly resisted by many individuals and states.

Kim Davis is not the lawless one. Rather it is the Supreme Court and the federal judges who do its lawless bidding who are the lawbreakers.

Madigan the problem

To the Editor: I am continually amazed by Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan’s ability to blame all the states woes on Gov. Bruce Rauner and convince the public of the same.

From letters to editors, to teacher interviews on TV, or social service agencies scrambling for money, most all criticize Rauner for their current plight.

Really?

Madigan and his minions have run this state into the ground over how many years, and it’s still all Rauner’s fault?

Gotta give Madigan credit – he is a great politician, but not a servant of the people.

It’s all about him.

Pope’s most fervent remarks were on saving global environment • BRAZILE

Continued from page 36 The pope used a feather’s touch on the church’s wellknown positions on abortion and marriage, noting that he was heading to Philadelphia to celebrate and support the institutions of marriage and the family.

He spoke of the church’s commitment to building “an inclusive and tolerant” society, and to safeguarding “the rights of individuals and communities,” and “to rejecting every form of unjust discrimination.”

He movingly supported “the right to religious liberty,” a freedom he called “one of America’s most precious possessions.”

The pope’s most fervent remarks were for saving our world’s environment.

“Climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation,” he said.

“We are living at a critical moment of history. We still have time to make the changes needed.”

He invoked the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s reference to a “promissory note” that America owes its children, to leave them a

world safe from the extremes of ravaging weather. Like it or lump it, the pope believes confronting climate change is a moral imperative.

Pope Francis began his address to a joint session of Congress by noting dignitaries by title, and ending with “dear friends.” This was a very personal speech, addressed warmly to the individual.

The role of a pope, as a bishop reminded us, is more than pastoral. It is also prophetic. And like the prophets of the Old Testament, that can mean being an irritant to a recalcitrant people.

Pope Francis described re-

ligious and secular fundamentalism that reduces the world to good and evil: “No religion is immune from forms of individual delusion or ideological extremism.

“Politics is ... an expression of our compelling need to live as one, in order to build as one the greatest common good,” he counseled. “I do not underestimate the difficulty that this involves ... but I encourage you in this effort.”

He said later, “Building a nation calls us to recognize that we must constantly relate to others, rejecting a mindset of hostility in order ... to do our best.”

The pope added, “It is my duty to build bridges and to help all men and women, in any way possible, to do the same.”

It’s truly time to listen, to discern and to reflect on these words to find the kernels of wisdom he left with us to mull over. Thank you, Pope Francis, for your words and example. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Editor: Twenty-three states have approved licenses for medical marijuana dispensaries and are researching cultivation centers. Illinois has just fully licensed the first medical marijuana dispensary in downstate Marion. Permits for medical marijuana dispensaries also have been approved for Shorewood, Romeoville and Morris.

So far, on the federal level, marijuana is still a “Schedule 1” drug, meaning it is “illegal to buy, sell or use for medical purposes.” The Federal Food and Drug Administration has not approved marijuana as a medicine.

Under the federal banking rules, wouldn’t it be illegal for banks to loan money, approve checking and savings accounts, and authorize and process the use of bank credit and debit cards for transactions for these dispensaries and cultivation centers? By banks knowingly accepting deposits from the sale of medical marijuana, wouldn’t the banks be acting as “an accessory after the fact?”

By processing customers’ debit and credit card payments, wouldn’t the banks be “aiding and abetting” the sales and distribution of marijuana? ATM machines, like those used at the casinos, couldn’t be used in these dispensaries either because banks provide money to most ATM companies.

Basically, bank employees and personnel could be charged with aiding and abetting, money laundering and acting as an accessory after the fact and could be charged for not following these strict federal banking rules in regards to marijuana.

If and when legislation changes the laws

on medical marijuana, medical marijuana should only be dispensed by a pharmacist at a pharmacy, or box store with a pharmacy within, as all prescribed pain medication is.

Doesn’t federal law trump state law?

JOLIET WEST 21, JOLIET CENTRAL 12

JOLIET – Meekah Ben-Israel has been playing football for 10 years and never had scored a touchdown.

The Joliet West senior linebacker has been busy keeping opposing offenses out of the end zone.

On Saturday afternoon, things were getting tense, very tense, at West as district and SouthWest Suburban Blue rival Joliet Central was on a mission. Only a failed twopoint conversion with 8:46 left allowed West to cling to a 14-12 lead that had been 14-0 at halftime.

Central not only wanted to spoil the Tigers’ homecoming, but also was intent on not allowing its losing streak to reach 50.

The Steelmen (0-5, 0-3) were facing a third-and-12 on their 46 in the final minute when Ben-Israel intercepted a Zach Wisneski pass over the middle and returned it 58 yards as he ran through Wisneski en route to the end zone. James Newby’s extra point clinched it, making the final 21-12.

“That’s my first touchdown in 10 years of football, and it feels great,” said the 6-foot-2, 240-pound Ben-Israel, whose strip moments earlier caused a key fumble that West’s Drew Smith recovered. “I felt like a fat guy running with the ball.

I wasn’t going very fast, but I had to get there.”

“We needed Meekah’s interception return,” West coach Jason Aubry said. “We were looking for something like that earlier in the game. He made the drop where he was supposed to and did the job.”

As Aubry added, “a win is a win is a win.”

“Central came out and played,” Ben-Israel said. “I knew we were in for a game when they came out and had a long drive right away. Central is not a garbage team. I love playing against them. I grew up with some of those guys.”

“We knew they’ve been playing pretty well,” Aubry said. “They can do some things, and we did not have our best game. We probably

FOOTBALL SCOREBOARD Joliet West 21, Joliet Central 12 Minooka 41, Plainfield Central 14 JCA 41, Marian Central 3 Providence 28, St. Rita 0 Lincoln-Way East 28, Bolingbrook 0

had more yards in penalties than we had offensively.”

It was close. The Tigers (32, 2-1) managed 194 yards of offense and were whistled for 16 penalties totaling 177 yards.

The yellow flags against West might have helped Central stick around, but there was something else at work.

“I think what you saw all game was if we just keep on schedule and run what we do best, we can compete,” Steelmen coach Brett Boyter said.

“Our guys did a magnificent job, especially considering all the pre-snap penalties [Central was whistled nine times for 55 yards]. We put ourselves in position to win, and that’s all you

can ask.

“The only thing I said before the game was don’t take anything off this field. Leave it all there. No doubt, every one of these guys left all they’ve got out there.”

West was without senior quarterback Alex Tibble, who suffered a concussion the previous week against Bolingbrook.

“Right now, Alex has not been cleared to come back,” Aubry said. “We’re going to roll with what we have.”

So Aubry used Tibble, whom he describes as “a smart kid and a smart football player,” as a sort of assistant coach, signaling calls in to freshman

quarterback Jaxon Aubry, the coach’s son.

Aubry completed 3 of 13 passes for 53 yards and was intercepted once, by Allen Smith. His 46-yard completion to freshman Kevon Dorris set up Jakob Coyl’s 4-yard touchdown run late in the first

quarter. Central fumbled the ensuing kickoff, West’s Zack Browning recovered on the Steelmen 32, and Coyl went the distance on the next play for a 14-0 lead. Coyl finished with 119 yards in 21 carries.

“Jaxon will be better next week with this game under his belt,” Jason Aubry said. “And the big thing is, we won and move on to next week.”

Wisneski – who was sacked eight times as Tigers defensive tackles Patrick Leaf and Julius Garrett were major culprits – finished 22 of 39 for 172 yards. Kamren Smith caught eight for 71 yards and Jomarre McNair seven for 64. Central finished with 150 total yards, including a net of minus-22 rushing.

Wisneski had the Steelmen knocking on the door just before halftime, but Drew Smith intercepted his pass in the end zone on first-and-goal from the 10. McNair’s 31-yard reception led to Central’s first score, Ernest Grant’s 3-yard run.

Marcus Stone’s fumble recovery at the West 19 set up the Steelmen’s second score, with McNair making a nice grab of a 2-yard fade pass from Wisneski.

That all helped set the stage for one whale of a finish.

COAL CITY 36, SANDWICH 14

Quick start helps Coal City past Sandwich

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Last week, the Coal City football team got off to a slow start and saw Plano take a 28-0 lead at the end of the first quarter en route to handing the Coalers a 56-13 setback.

This week, the Coalers didn’t want a repeat performance against Interstate Eight Large rival Sandwich.

Indeed, behind a staunch defense and a balanced offense, Coal City (3-2, 2-1) turned the tables on Sandwich, scoring the first 14 points and cruising to a 36-14 win Friday.

“We knew we had to get off to a better start,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said.

“That was a rough, rough loss last week.

“We were able to get off to a better start, and that’s good because these kids worked their tails off at practice all week.

Practices were pretty tough this week after our last game.”

Sandwich received the opening kickoff and faced 4thand-1 from its own 35 and elected to try for the first down. A high snap forced quarterback Justin Sartori to hurry his pass and it fell incomplete, giving Coal City the ball in Indian

territory.

Three runs by Joe Starkey moved the ball to the Sandwich 11 and quarterback Nick Micetich hit A.J. Miller for a six-yard gain to make it 1st and goal from the five. Starkey then burst through the line for a five-yard touchdown, and Brad Littleton’s kick make it 7-0 with 8:37 to play in the first quarter.

The teams traded punts after that, with Littleton’s boot pinning Sandwich at its own 5. The Indians tried to go deep on the first play, but Littleton intercepted it at the Indians’ 37. Micetich hit Miller for an 11-yard gain and, after a run

by Starkey, the Coal City quarterback hit a wide-open Cal Smolik over the middle for a 23-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 3:55 to play in the first. Micetich finished the night 11 of 16 for 189 yards and three touchdowns.

“It was a great night to throw,” he said. “There wasn’t much wind and the offensive line was giving me a lot of time.”

Sandwich answered on its next drive. Zac Dabbert took a jet sweep and wove his way through the Coal City defense for a 76-yard gain before being brought down by Mike Chi-

Sandwich’s Travis Fordon intercepted a pass at midfield

for Sandwich and returned it to the Coal City 45, but the Indians had to punt, pinning the Coalers at their own 7.

The teams traded punts again, this time with Coal City take over at its own 14. The Coalers moved to the Sandwich 45, but faced 3rd-and-13 at the 48 when Micetich uncorked a deep pass

down the left sideline and Littleton ran under it, then outran the Sandwich defense for a 48-yard touchdown and a 20-7 lead, which they took into halftime.

Coal City got the ball to start the second half, but had to punt, and Littleton’s boot pinned Sandwich at its own 7.

Alec Leasure then sacked Sartori in the end zone for a 22-7 lead. After the ensuing kick, Coal City took over on the Sandwich 41 and Micetich and Littleton hooked up again, this time for a 26-yard score and a 29-7 lead. After forcing another Sandwich punt, Coal City embarked on a 15-play drive that ended with a three-yard run by Starkey, who finished with 113 yards on the ground. Micetich had the key play in the drive, running 30 yards on a bootleg on 3rd-and-11.

“Our offensive line did a nice job,” Onsen said. “That third quarter, we had the ball almost the entire time, and it was because the line was controlling things. This is a big win, especially after the loss last week, but we know we still have some work to do.”

Sandwich capped the scoring in the fourth quarter on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Sartori to Fordon.

FOOTBALL: YORKVILLE 14, MORRIS 0

Redskins stung by shutout defeat at Yorkville

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@shawmedia.com YORKVILLE – The opening of the Northern Illinois Big 12 East portion of the schedule Friday night was not a pleasant experience for Morris football.

The Redskins (3-2, 0-1) dropped a 14-0 decision to Yorkville, snapping a twogame win streak and marking the third straight season the Foxes have beaten Morris.

“It’s a very disappointing game,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “You have to give Yorkville credit. They came out and beat us.

“The frustrating thing on

our end is that they didn’t run a single play we didn’t practice a hundred times, and they didn’t do a defense we didn’t practice a hundred times. They just executed better, and you have to give their kids credit, their coaches credit.

“It’s a disappointing loss.

We made too many mistakes.

Penalties killed us. I don’t think we deserved to win this one.”

Yorkville was coming off a 35-7 loss to Kaneland in Week 4. This is the first shutout of the season for the Foxes.

“The most recent win is the biggest win of the year,” Yorkville coach Dan McGuire

“Of course, we want to shut everyone out, but realistically, we knew they had a great offense with physical running backs. They are just a physical team all the way up and down. They are a good team, so we should be proud of doing that against such a good team.”

After a scoreless first quarter, Yorkville scored its first touchdown with 1:23 remainAlan Thorson ing in the first half.

ter, the Foxes scored when Van Boekel found Malinowski again with a 29-yard pass and back-to-back Bryce Shewan carries led to Van Boekel throwing a 1-yard touchdown pass to Malinowski for a 14-0 lead with 8:20 left.

Morris hopes to bounce back in Week 6 against DeKalb (4-1, 2-0), which beat Kaneland, 45-28. The Barbs have won four straight.

“We have to get better,” Thorson said. “[DeKalb is] a very good team and they beat us bad last year (42-0), so we need to fix a lot of things. We will. We aren’t giving up on the year, and we are not giving up on the kids.”

JOLIET CATHOLIC 41, MARIAN CENTRAL 3

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, September 27, 2015

JOLIET – Joliet Catholic senior wingback Michael Johnson rushed for 216 yards and scored four touchdowns, one on a 33-yard pass reception, Friday night at ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

Yet his most exciting moment of the Hilltoppers’ 41-3 homecoming victory over fellow East Suburban Catholic unbeaten Marian Central may have come while watching from the sideline.

“I was going crazy,” Johnson described the aftermath of JCA safety Bill Rotnicki’s 38-yard interception return that provided the dagger early in the third quarter. “I was so pumped up. I’m on the extra-point team and I couldn’t get out there.”

The Hilltoppers (5-0, 3-0) were leading only 7-3 at halftime. A week earlier, the Hurricanes erased a 19-0 second-quarter deficit in a stunning 34-19 victory over highly rated Nazareth.

This time, the Hurricanes (4-1, 2-1), coached by former JCA all-stater and assistant coach Mike Maloney, were outscored, 34-0, in the second half. Johnson, who scored from 9 yards out with 1:54 left in the first half to erase a 3-0 deficit, scored on a 10-yard run to conclude an 80-yard match that opened the second half.

Rotnicki’s pick-six came on the next play and extended the JCA lead to 21-3, and from there, the Hilltoppers were in complete control. Johnson added a 3-yard TD run and caught a 33-yard scoring pass from Cade Earl before taking the rest of the night off.

“Mike is a workhorse.

He gives it all he’s got,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said of Johnson. “He had a heck of a game, and our guys blocked well in the second half.”

“I know they beat Nazareth last week, but we wanted to show them this was the Hilltoppers they were playing,” Johnson said.

Rotnicki said the Hilltoppers saw on film that the Hurricanes keyed their passing game toward receiver Eric Ruschke, who wears No. 4.

Joliet Catholic’s Michael Johnson runs for a touchdown during the second half Friday against Marian Central in Joliet. Johnson rushed for 216 yards and scored four touchdowns in the Hilltoppers’ 41-3 homecoming victory. View more photos from this game at TheHerald-News.com.

Joliet Catholic’s Bill Rotnicki (29) is congratulated by Luke Mander after running an interception back for a touchdown in the second half Friday against Marian Central in Joliet.

“They had been keying on No. 4 tonight, too, and I had my eyes on him and jumped in front of him,” Rotnicki said.

“At first I saw some green in front of me, then I saw the wall of brown (jerseys, his teammates). Then I was able to use some offensive moves. It was the best feeling in the world to

get into the end zone.”

“That interception was a punch to their gut, in a sense,” Sharp said.

While Johnson gained his 216 yards on 32 carries and caught two passes for 42, the Hilltoppers accumulated 386 total yards and limited Marian Central to 107. The Hurricanes’

Emitt Peisert, who rushed for more than 300 yards last week against Nazareth, managed 51 in 13 carries.

“In my humble opinion, this game was won in March and April,” Maloney said. “(JCA strength coach) Francis Ruettiger obviously has done a great job. If we’re going to match up up front against teams like this, we’ve got to put the time in. We didn’t get it done, and that’s on me.”

Maloney cited the dominance that JCA defensive tackles Ken Aguirre and the Tyler Witt/Ze’Veyon Furcron rotation provided.

“Their two defensive tackles caused problems,” he said.

“It was not a good match-up for us personnel-wise. They mixed their outside blitzes, too, and that caused us more problems.”

“Our defensive staff, with Jake (Jaworski) coordinating it all, is doing an unbelievable job,” Sharp said. “They really have those kids playing well.”

The Hilltoppers were hit with a rash of penalties and committed two turnovers in the first half. Marian Central grabbed a 3-0 lead on Jake Higgins’ 27-yard field goal with 10:29 left in the second quarter and perhaps could have been up by more if not for the stout JCA defense.

“Everyone knows about Emitt (Peisert),” Maloney said.

“I thought we had the ability to create some mismatches that we could exploit, but we didn’t execute.

“I thought we could have been up two scores in the first half. Maybe that would have changed the landscape of the game, maybe not.”

JCA sophomore Simon Grashoff and junior Rio Strama gained experience carrying the ball in the fourth quarter and were productive. Strama had 46 yards in three carries, including a 40-yard run and a 3-yard touchdown run, and Grashoff netted 34 yards in seven carries.

LINCOLN-WAY EAST 28, BOLINGBROOK 0

Griffins hold Raiders scoreless

By CURT HERRON

Lincoln-Way East’s Brandon Bauer runs around Bolingbrook’s Lucas Warren on Friday at Bolingbrook High School in Bolingbrook.

East beat Bolingbrook, 28-0. View more photos from this game at TheHerald-News. com.

cherron@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – On a night where two defenses turned in great performances, one football squad took advantage of five turnovers while the other got only one.

That pretty much explains the difference in Lincoln-Way East’s 28-0 SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division victory at Bolingbrook on Friday.

The Griffins (4-1, 3-0) intercepted three passes and recovered two fumbles to hold the Raiders (2-3, 1-2) scoreless for the first time since 1998, a span of 193 games.

“You certainly don’t expect to do that,” Griffins coach Rob Zvonar said. “It’s just a credit to the defense for going out there and playing one play at a time. I thought that each unit complemented each other and picked each other when we faltered a little bit.

“When you play a team like [John Ivlow’s], you’re going to face some adversity since they’re a great program that’s well-coached with great players. My hat’s off to all of them, and especially Tuf Borland, who’s a special kid and we wish him all the best in Columbus (at Ohio State). Bolingbrook will make a run at the end of the year with leadership like his.”

Bolingbrook received a 25-tackle performance from Borland. The Raiders held East to 131 yards on 45 carries and only 43 passing yards.

East, which recorded its third shutout during its fourgame win streak, limited Bolingbrook to 55 rushing yards on 22 attempts and allowed 90 additional yards through the air.

Leading the defensive effort for the Griffins were Pat Carr, who returned an interception 55 yards for a score and also recovered a fumble, and Brian Burns, who had two interceptions.

“That interception was quite the experience,” Carr said of his third-quarter pick that made it 21-0. “The credit goes to coach Z. He told me all

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

week that’s where it’s going to go. I think the word of the week was ‘preparation’. From Monday, our scout team gave us a great look.

“Right now, we’re playing as a team, and that’s all that we can ask for. Everyone’s accepting their role and that’s huge. We tell ourselves, ‘We play 11 as one, get your assignment and everyone just fly to the football. It’s counting down now, especially for the seniors.’ ” Burns also nearly had a pick-six, but his 65-yard interception return in the second quarter was cut to 32 yards because of an illegal block.

His third quarter pickoff that moved the ball to the Raider 12

“It’s just a credit to the defense for going out there and playing one play at a time.”

Rob Zvonar Lincoln-Way East football coach came shortly after Carr’s pick and led to East’s second score in a 1:22-span.

“I have to give credit to our scout ‘O’ since they’ve been preparing us all week and all year,” Burns said. “We had a bump in the road the first week off the season but it might have been the best thing that could happen to us. Our defense wants to play football.

“We want to be on the field as much as we can. We get hap-

py when we get to be back on the field. We’re just an excited group of guys. There’s no selfish players and everyone just wants everyone to do good.

We’re taking it week to week and it’s very exciting so far.”

Early in the game, East quarterback Brandon Bauer (15 carries, 70 yards) scored on a 6-yard run and in the second period, he tossed a 24yard touchdown pass to Brody Bolsoni. After Burns’ sec-

ond interception, Bauer ran in from 4-yards out to cap the scoring.

“We didn’t do any favors for our defense by giving those guys a short field,” Raiders coach Ivlow said. “I thought our defense played very well.

When you look at it, they didn’t put together any drives.

If we don’t turn the ball over, we’re in the game and can win the game.

“Tuf’s a monster and that’s why he’s going to Ohio State.

There’s no secrets. Anybody whose kid wants to go to Ohio State better look at that film and take a look at that kid and what he brings to the table, because not many kids in the nation do that.”

PROVIDENCE 28, ST. RITA 0

By MIKE FITZGERALD NEW LENOX – Provi dence coach Mark Coglianese preached the importance of a faster start for the offense, but it was the defense that provided the early spark in the Celtics’ 28-0 win Friday night over Chicago Catholic Blue rival St. Rita.

Providence (2-3, 1-1) hosts powerful Loyola on Friday.

Linebacker Dominic Ferraro recovered a fumble by Mustangs quarterback Connor Kelly on the first play from scrimmage to set up the Celtics at the St. Rita 21-yard-line.

Brendan O’Hara carried it 11 yards to the 10, and sophomore Mariano Sori-Marin scored two plays later on an 8-yard-run to make it 7-0 after the PJ Kowalkowski extra point.

“I told the guys before the game – I’ve been harping on it – but we’ve been outscored, 28-3, in the first quarter in the first four games, and that was a nice little spark, getting that turnover,” Coglianese said.

“Our offense put it in and it gave us a little momentum.

One of our goals was to come out and score in the first quarter.”

The Celtics’ offense, which has been hurt by the absence

John Patsch for Shaw Media

of injured running back Richie Warfield, ran efficiently under the guidance of junior quarterback Jared Drake. Making his third start, Drake led Providence to 14 points in the second quarter.

After defensive back Zach Pych intercepted Kelly at the St. Rita 35-yard-line, Drake engineered a six-play scoring drive. He found junior Martez Malone with a 12-yard scoring pass to make it 14-0.

The Celtics took a 21-0 lead

into halftime after Drake led a nine-play, 67-yard scoring drive. He hit the 6-foot-2, 215-pound O’Hara for a 34-yard gain before finding Luke Garwood with back-to-back passes that totaled 12 yards. Mike Markasovic carried the ball in from the 2 for the score.

Drake finished 16 of 26 for 165 yards and one touchdown.

He distributed the ball to eight receivers. He found Adam Nichols with a 26-yard scoring strike to conclude the scoring

in the third quarter.

“Our coaches developed a game plan to throw to different receivers,” Drake said. “Each guy wanted the ball and wanted to make plays for the team to help out and contribute.”

The Celtics need all hands on deck as Warfield, who has an MCL strain in his right knee, is expected to miss a couple more weeks. Providence also lost Sori-Marin to a broken collarbone during the St. Rita game.

“We’re getting thin, but guys are stepping up.”

Mark Coglianese Providence football coach “We’re getting thin, but guys are stepping up,” Coglianese said. He noted the offensive contributions of O’Hara, a starter at linebacker, as an example.

“Obviously, physically, he can do it,” he said. “He’s a leader. He came up to us about a week ago and said he wants to do more to help the team because he knew we were struggling a little bit.”

Providence is not struggling defensively, as evidenced by the Celtics forcing four Mustangs turnovers while holding St. Rita (1-4, 0-2) to 71 yards rushing and 80 yards passing.

“Our coaches always stress turnovers before the game, and we set a goal of forcing of four turnovers. We try to get that every game,” said Celtics linebacker Dan McDonald, who intercepted two passes.

“This was definitely a big win going into the next game.

We needed it. We’re trying to get to five wins so we can make the playoffs, and our coaches say the conference is still there to win.”

FOOTBALL: HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 48, LOCKPORT 0

Lockport defense able to stymie H-F, for a while

By JEFF DeGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent LOCKPORT – Playing the No. 1-ranked football team in the state on your homecoming night is a tall task.

For 18 minutes, Lockport and Homewood-Flossmoor went toe-to-toe in a scoreless game. With 5:57 left in the second quarter, the Vikings went up 7-0. They added 21 more points to hit 28-0 by halftime.

H-F (5-0, 3-0) added 20 second-half points and cruised, 480, in the SouthWest Suburban Blue game.

Lockport’s defense stood the

test right away by stopping the Vikings on their first possession on fourth down from the Porters’ 44-yard line. The Vikings started the drive at their 28.

The Porters (1-4, 1-3) came right back and had an opportunity to take the lead after building a 16-play drive that included a successful fake punt as Matt Skobel gained 29 yards. The drive consumed 7:40 and took play into the second quarter. But on fourth-and-goal from the 1, Skobel was stopped.

“That first drive was crucial and we needed to come away with points,” Lockport coach

Dan Starkey said. “He [Skobel] read the defense and called the fake on the field. They executed it perfectly.

“They [Vikings] weren’t going to panic if we would have scored, but it would have made it interesting.”

After the goal-line stand, the Vikings’ first play from their 1 was a 50-yard pass from quarterback Bryce Gray to Tyrice Richie. Lockport then forced H-F into a third-and-27 from the Porters’ 37. However, Devonte Harley-Hampton went on a weaving, 37-yard run to score with 5:57 left in the first half.

That seemed to awaken the Vi-

kings as they scored on their next five possessions.

After a Porters’ three-andout, Gray hooked up with Kendric Pryor for 41 yards and hit Deante Harley-Hampton with an 18-yard touchdown pass for a 14-0 lead with 3:03 remaining in the half.

On the Porters’ first play after the score, quarterback Deiondre Taylor was picked off by Justin Correll, who returned it to the 1, and Devonte Harley-Hampton scored to make it 21-0.

Another three-and-out by the Porters gave the Vikings another chance and they took

advantage, going 46 yards for the touchdown. The drive was capped by a 20-yard pass from Gray to Pryor.

H-F scored on its first three possessions of the third quarter to make it 42-0 and invoke the running clock. Lockport never threatened again and ran only 10 plays in the third quarter.

“Our defense flew around tonight and we hit them hard.

I really like the effort and the physicality our team showed,” Starkey said. “We didn’t back down and were not intimidated. They are a talented team and very well coached.”

FOOTBALL: OSWEGO 50, ROMEOVILLE 14

Oswego strikes early, cruises past Romeoville

By KEVIN RYAN Shaw Media Correspondent ROMEOVILLE – Oswego lit up the scoreboard Friday night, scoring early and often in a 50-14 Southwest Prairie Conference victory over Romeoville.

“Credit Oswego,” Romeoville football coach Oliver Gibson said. “They’re a heck of a football team and they execute. I think they’re going to go far.”

The Panthers began their scoring spree on the first drive with four consecutive handoffs to Erick Vargas Jr. (14 carries, 86 yards). He marched the Panthers to Ro-

meoville’s 15-yard line, and on the fifth play of the series, Chad Marsh (four carries, 44 yards) scored on a 15-yard run to give the Panther a 6-0 lead.

“We really wanted to get the running game going,” Oswego quarterback Steven Frank explained. “I think we established that early. We didn’t even throw a pass in that first drive and just drove it down their throats.”

After a Spartan three-andout, Frank targeted receiver Conor Morton (three catches, 30 yards) on the first play of the drive for a touchdown. In six offensive plays, the Panthers (4-1, 3-0) scored twice and were leading 13-0.

“I’m looking forward to getting the taste out of our mouth. We are not the team that we showed.”

Oliver Gibson Romeoville football coach

“It’s hard for our kids because we’re a team that can’t make many mistakes against an average team, and that was a good Oswego team,” Gibson said.

Things continued to escalate for the Spartans (1-4, 1-2) with a three-and-out on the next series, followed by a bad snap out of the end zone for a safety. When Oswego received

the subsequent kickoff, it took five snaps for the Panthers to score again as Frank hit tight end Brennan Burdo for a 12yard TD, making it 22-0 after one first quarter.

Vargas scored on runs of 3 and 19 yards while Frank hit a 7-yard touchdown pass to Morton in the second quarter for a 43-0 halftime lead.

Asked about his quarter-

back’s performance, Oswego coach Brian Cooney said, “That’s Steven. He’s a hard worker. He wins his games on Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Come Friday, he just does what he does.”

In the second half, Romeoville got on the board with a 41-yard TD run by quarterback Anthony Kitchens (seven carries, 41 yards) and a 67-yard run by junior Jordan Nettles.

“I’m looking forward to getting the taste out of our mouth,” Gibson said. “We are not the team that we showed.

We can’t make mistakes, and we made a lot of them early.”

FOOTBALL: LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 52, THORNWOOD 12

A Dunne deal: Lemont rolls over Tinley Park

Lincoln-Way Central’s offense rebounds in win vs. Thornwood

By SCOTT SCHMID Shaw Media Correspondent LEMONT – With the Lemont football team banged up in the backfield, Matt Dunne received his first varsity start Friday on his birthday. The Indians’ senior running back made the most of his opportunity.

Rushing for 168 yards and two touchdowns, Dunne helped Lemont (41, 2-0) to a 41-12 victory over previously undefeated South Suburban Blue foe Tinley Park.

“That was a good way to celebrate my 18th birthday,” said Dunne, who played defense a year ago. “All the credit goes to the offensive line. They really stepped up this week.

“We had a lot of setbacks this week, but we had to keep our heads up. We just kept going, kept going.”

Dunne scored on a 70-yard run with 2:39 left in the first half, which upped Lemont’s lead to 20-6. He added a 21-yard score late in the fourth quarter on a cutback to the right. He also kicked three extra points.

“On the first run, I just saw the hole and thought, ‘don’t slow down, just keep running’,” Dunne said. “On the second one, after the bounce-out, I saw the home and ran as fast as I could.”

Dunne was far from the only offensive star. Quarterback Spencer

Nagle threw three touchdown passes in the first 24 minutes, all to Jeremy Fejedelem. Two were screens that the senior wideout turned into 46- and 19yard touchdowns.

Nagle added a sneak for a touchdown and another passing TD in the second half.

“The line did an awesome job and he [Nagle] threw the ball well,” Lemont coach Bret Kooi said. “I’ve kind of held the reins back because he is young. We needed to cut him loose a little bit this week and without a doubt, he stepped up.”

Not to be outdone, the Indians’ defense had another strong showing against a Titans’ offense that had scored 125 points over the past two weeks. Brendan Cunningham had two interceptions and Fejedelem a pick and a sack.

“Their offense is good,” Kooi said.

“Between their quarterback, running backs and wide receivers, they are really explosive.”

The win capped a tough opening five-week stretch for Lemont.

“Through this five-game stretch, we thought to have success we had to stay healthy,” Kooi said. “And we didn’t stay healthy. It’s a compliment to them. The kids that stepped in, stepped up. And it’s a compliment to our staff.”

By DENNIS NELSON Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – Homecoming proved to be a coming home, of sorts, for the Lincoln-Way Central offense Friday night during a Southwest Suburban Red matchup against Thornwood.

The end result was the most prolific offensive showing the Knights have had all season. Quarterback Austin Strilko completed 17 of 23 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score in the Knights’ 52-12 victory.

Lincoln-Way Central (2-3, 1-2) had been shut out its past two games and came into the game with 40 points on the season. It led 45-6 after three quarters and totaled 449 yards for the game.

“We were coming off two weeks not scoring, so obviously, this is a big turnaround,” Lincoln-Way Central senior receiver Nolan Hayes said.

“We had a very off week last week and we challenged our kids this week,” Central coach Jeremy Cordell said.

“How are we going to respond? We had a great week of practice and we told them to have fun with your buddies.

The results showed.”

Central did not punt and forced four Thornwood turnovers, all in the first half. The Knights led 21-6 after a quarter and 37-6 at the half.

“Coach challenged us to get a run-

ning clock in the second half, so that was the goal,” Hayes said. “We did it. Obviously, we wanted to win our homecoming game. It’s nice to be on this end of the score.”

John Ramos (five catches, 115 yards) and Hayes (eight catches, 128 yards), who also threw for a touchdown in the first half, each had more than 100 yards receiving and a touchdown in the first half.

“We have a lot of guys who can do some things with the football,” Cordell said. “As long as we put our kids in positions to succeed, we’ll do some good things.”

Dan Eber (2-yard run) and Nico Muto (4-yard run) each ran for scores.

Blake Evans returned a fumble 35 yards for a touchdown.

“I saw a 100-percent difference between this past week and the week before,” Cordell said of weekday practices. “Kids play tight and overthink things. We told them to play free, have fun and respond to the challenge.”

Thornwood, the league’s worst defensive team, fell to 1-4, 0-3. Next for Central is a date Friday at Thornridge.

“We have four more conference games and we have to win all of them,” Hayes said. “We got ourselves in a hole, but we’re going to bounce back and, hopefully, make the playoffs.”

“We are going to celebrate this, get back to it and try to go 1-0 against Thornridge next week,” Cordell said.

NEW LENOX – Speed and character.

Two words that best described Friday night’s SouthWest Suburban Red football showdown.

Visiting Thornton (5-0, 3-0) possessed amazing speed.

Tailback Tionte McDaniel ran through the vaunted Lincoln-Way West defense for 227 yards and three touchdowns. Thornton quarterback Sam Taylor raced for 135 yards and a score as the Wildcats amassed 406 yards rushing.

The Wildcats led, 28-7, at halftime and 35-14 after three quarters before surviving the Warriors’ furious fourth-quarter comeback in a heart-stopping 35-28 victory. The Wildcats thus stay atop the conference with Lincoln-Way North (5-0, 3-0), a 28-14 winner over Bradley on Friday.

As for character, the Warriors (4-1, 2-1) showed it. Half the Warrior fans went home at halftime with the score 35-7, but the Warriors didn’t stop playing. On the first play of the fourth quarter, West quarterback Connor Lowman (14 for 28, 147 yards, one touchdown; eight carries, 40 yards, a touchdown) scored from 4 yards out to make it 3521. Thornton moved down the field, but the Warriors’ Cam Gavin intercepted Taylor at the 22.

The Warriors, behind Lowman and running back Gabe Montalvo (26 carries, 192 yards, touchdown), marched 78 yards. With 4:21 left, they scored on a picture-perfect pass from Lowman to Jake Mauney (two catches, 43 yards, touchdown). Kevin Siemeck’s kick made it 35-28.

West’s onside kick failed, but the rejuvenated Warrior defense responded. Consecutive tackles for losses by Cortez Michalski, Gavin and Deven Reed forced a punt. The Warriors took over on their 22 with 1:51 left.

Lowman tried to hit Mauney across the middle,

but the ball was intercepted

by Remi Simmons at the 32.

Thornton ran out the clock.

“Coach told us never to give up,” Lowman said.

“We’re family here at Lincoln-Way West and we really showed what we are made of.

We fought hard and fell a little short. We’ll get back to work and fix some things and hopefully play well next week at Thornwood.”

Two missed opportunities in the first half came back to haunt the Warriors. Taking the opening kickoff, they drove to the Wildcat 21 only to miss a 31-yard field goal. After Thornton scored on a McDaniel 2-yard run, the Warriors fumbled on the Thornton 3 on a fourth-and-1.

“I told the kids that I made some coaching decisions that might have cost us the game,” West coach Dave Ernst said.

“I am so proud of the way we fought and fought tonight.

This one’s on me.”

In the second quarter, Master Powell scored from 8 yards out, and with the successful two-point conversion, Thornton led 14-0. Mauney took the ensuing kickoff and went an electrifying 86 yards for a touchdown.

Taylor ran 58 yards McDaniel 21 for two more Thornton scores and a 28-7 halftime lead. Early in the third quarter, McDaniel’s 73-yard run made it 35-7. Montalvo answered a minute later with a 33-yard TD run.

“We fought back hard tonight,” Montalvo said. “We just wouldn’t quit.”

“Amazing speed from Thornton,” Ernst added. “We finally stopped them late and we showed tremendous character with the way we fought back. Connor [Lowman] had a great second half and we should have caught a couple of his passes in the first half.

Gabe was our work horse, carrying the ball 26 times for 192 yards.”

Warrior tight end Ben Zordani hauled in six passes for 47 yards, and Dylan McHale caught two for 33 yards before leaving with an ankle injury.

OSWEGO EAST 6, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 3 (OT)

Plainfield South’s fate changes in two snaps

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@shawmedia.com OSWEGO – The Plainfield South defense shut down Southwest Prairie foe Oswego East for nearly four full quarters Friday night, but it took two bad snaps to change the Cougars’ fate in a 6-3 overtime loss on the road.

With minutes left in regulation, South’s Cristian Carrillo was forced to chase down a high snap on a fourth-down punt attempt and was tackled at the Cougars’ 13-yard line.

The short field set up Oswego East’s game-tying field goal with 47 seconds to play and sent the game into overtime.

Plainfield South (2-3, 2-1) lost the coin toss and sent its offense onto the field first to start overtime. But running back Jake Maher was stopped behind the line of scrimmage, and an incomplete pass attempt set up a fourth down on the 15.

Another bad snap left Carrillo scrambling again, and the play resulted in an incomplete pass.

“We felt like our guys would keep them out of the end zone, but it was just a bad snap,” South coach Ken Bublitz said.

Bruns back onto the field to complete the 37-yard field goal and give the Wolves the win.

The pair of field goals came after three previous misses in the game.

“Chase is a very, very talented kid,” Oswego East head coach Tyson LeBlanc said.

“He was a little frustrated with what he did earlier in the game, but I grabbed him and told him we’re going to need him later in the game, and we did. He came through for us.”

Plainfield South’s field goal was set up by Jordan Eskridge’s interception with 7:23 to play in the third quarter. The Cougars put together an eightplay, 30-yard drive capped by Enrique Carbajal’s 22-yarder that was tipped by Oswego East (3-2, 1-2), but wobbled through the uprights.

FOOTBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 31, PLAINFIELD EAST 20

Plainfield North rallies past Plainfield East

By SCOTT EHLING Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – After suffering a tough loss last week, what better way to put it behind you than to spoil your next week opponent’s homecoming?

That is what the Plainfield North football team did as it overcame two double-digit deficits and scored the last 21 points en route to a 31-20 Southwest Prairie Conference victory Friday over host Plainfield East.

“That was a tough loss last week to (Plainfield) South.

Even though they are our rival, we just didn’t play inspired football and play well,” North coach Tim Kane said. “I was really proud of our kids tonight. We had a great week of

practice. We overcame the early adversity and won. It was a great win.”

The Tigers were led by senior quarterback JD Ekowa, who accounted for three touchdowns and 160 total yards (11 of 22 passing, 89 yards, one touchdown; 12 rushes, 71 yards, two touchdowns), junior running back Tyler Hoosman (17 for 10, touchdown) and senior receiver Zach Jarosz (two catches, 18 yards, touchdown).

Senior quarterback Matt Mazurkiewicz hit 13 of 21 passes for 140 yards, and senior defensive back TJ Alexander returned an interception for touchdown for the Bengals.

North had 341 yards of total offense to 229 for East. The Tigers committed one turnover while North’s defense forced

two.

“JD (Ekowa) had a couple of big runs and picked up some big first downs,” Kane said.”

I’m just so proud of him. He was so hungry all week of practice that I was hoping that he would play well tonight, and he did.”

North (3-2, 2-1) was impressive on the opening drive as it put together a 16-play, 73-yard march that culminated with a 24-yard field goal by Connor Peplow for a 3-0 lead.

East responded on its opening possession. Seven plays later, Mazurkiewicz connected with junior running back Valentino Rivera for a 26-yard touchdown that gave the Bengals a 7-3 lead late in the quarter.

On the first play of North’s

second possession, Ekowa was intercepted by East’s Alexander, who returned it 30 yards for a score that extended the Bengals’ lead to 14-3.

“Our kids stayed with it, and it was early in the game as I told the kids it is a four-quarter game not one quarter,” Kane said. “I told them just to relax and keep playing.”

Ekowa bounced back from the pick-six to lead the Tigers on an eight-play, 61-yard drive that culminated in an 11-yard TD pass to Jarosz on a fourthand-10 play to cut the deficit to 14-10 with 9:47 left in the half.

East (1-4, 1-2) extended its lead to 20-10 on a 1-yard plunge

by Mazurkiewicz with 8:26 left in the third quarter. North then took over on both sides of the ball. Ekowa’s 13-yard

touchdown run cut the East lead to 20-17 with 4:35 left in the third quarter.

Then the Tigers’ defense made an impact as Johnny Goodson forced a turnover deep inside Bengals territory. Two plays later, Hoosman scored on a 3-yard run to give the Tigers the lead for good, 24-20, with 8:58 remaining.

Ekowa’s 2-yard touchdown run made it 31-20 and put the game out of reach.

“We had a lack of focus in the second half,” East Mike Romeli said. “We had penalties, dropped passes, a big turnover. Whatever could go wrong, happened. We played a good first half, but basically it was a tale of two halves.”

North won the sophomore game, 41-21.

MINOOKA 41, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 14

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, September 27, 2015

PLAINFIELD – Possessing a 14-7 lead over an undermanned but inspired Plainfield Central football team at halftime of Saturday’s Wildcats’ homecoming contest, Minooka realized it had to step things up a few notches after the break.

The Indians do so in the third quarter, scoring three touchdowns within a 3:52 span, then adding another score later in the period to cap a 27-point outburst that helped them claim a 41-14 Southwest Prairie Conference victory.

Jaccor Blakney rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns and caught one of the two scoring passes thrown by John Carnagio to help Minooka (4-1, 2-1) bounce back from last week’s defeat to Oswego.

“We kind of got refocused,” Indians coach Paul Forsythe said. “I don’t know if we came out with the right mindset.

And, obviously, coach (John) Jackson was coaching his kids’ butts off, and they made a football game. We kind of regrouped at halftime and challenged our kids, and they responded. The outcome was good, but we just have to play four quarters.”

Minooka grabbed a 7-0 lead 3:56 into the game on a 51-yard run by Joshua Garcia, but the Wildcats (0-5, 0-3) tied the score with 8:09 remaining in the half when Marcus Hayes (9 of 24 passing, 151 yards) tossed a 69yard strike to Justin Montalto.

The Indians responded with the go-ahead score on their next series when Carnagio (15 of 20 passing, 192 yards) threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Blakney with 5:24 left before the break. But there was still plenty of drama before the intermission.

Central got down to Minooka’s 22 before eventually turning the ball over on downs late in the half. It got another chance after Kamrin Dolbee’s interception, which placed the ball at the Indians’ 15, but Hayes was stopped short of the goal line as the half expired.

“Before the game, some kids weren’t taking it seriously,” said Minooka’s Blake Parzych,

who had two sacks and deflected two passes. “I tried talking to them to rally them, but no one was really clicking with it. At halftime, I talked to everyone a little bit, and coach (Bert) Kooi, our defensive coordinator, put a speech down that really opened up everyone’s eyes.

“We had a little reality check at halftime, and after we came back with that fire under our butts, we got it going. Once we start going, then we all

start grooving. In practice, we say that we have to get after it the whole game. And we work together as a brotherhood.”

The Indians performed much better after the break, while the Wildcats seemed to head in the other direction as they wound up suffering their 25th straight defeat.

After taking advantage of two 15-yard penalties to score on five plays on its first series of the third quarter, Minooka used a similar number of

snaps during its next two possessions to collect two more touchdowns as it grabbed a 34-7 advantage.

Blakney (15 carries, 176 yards) scored on a 15-yard run just 1:32 into the second half and then Carnagio tossed a 33-yard scoring pass to Isaiah Hill with 7:43 left in the third period. Then just 1:07 later, Blakney scored on a 57-yard run to cap a one-play drive.

After being forced to punt on their next series, the Indi-

ans completed their 27-point third quarter outburst when Blakney ran in from 37 yards out with 50 seconds remaining.

“In the second half, we came together and were completing plays like we’re supposed to and our running plays worked out a lot better,” Blakney said. “We’ll be able to dominate teams if we can put all four quarters together. Our coaches know exactly what they’re doing, so we just have to connect on our part. We’re like a family. We’re close and pick each other up.”

Although missing several running backs because of injury, the Wildcats kept battling until the end. After Issiah Dunson’s late pickoff, Adam Hayes (16 carries, 83 yards) moved the ball to Minooka’s 22, then Marcus Hayes covered that distance with 2:41 left.

“We played a heckuva first half,” Wildcats coach John Jackson said. “But then they made some decent adjustments defensively, and we came out flat at halftime. We’re a lot better than we showed today.

I just don’t know if we’re hungry enough to get that win. We need to want it more. We work hard, but just working hard doesn’t constitute victory.”

BOYS GOLF: DON NICHOLS WILL COUNTY TOURNAMENT

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent

“I left a few strokes out there, but anytime you can come out under par, you have to be happy with that.”

Ricky Costello Providence junior golfer self,” Providence coach John Platt said. “A 306 with a kid shooting 2-under is not good.

Cascino’s been lower than 78.

And two 87s?

“They have to grind out scores. They’ll get an earful, first of all, and we’ll just go from there. But the core of the team is pretty young, and that’s good.”

FOOTBALL: LISLE 44, SENECA 14

Irish’s 1-point halftime lead turns into 2nd blowout loss

By MARK JOHNSON mjohnson@shawmedia.com SENECA – A one-point halftime lead turned into a second straight lopsided loss for Seneca football in a 44-14 Interstate Eight Small setback Friday night against Lisle.

The Fighting Irish (2-3, 1-2) had their second-half drives end in turnovers and threeand-outs – one of which turned into a turnover on downs on a fake punt attempt. Lisle (32, 2-1) scored each of the first five times it received the ball in the second half.

At halftime, the Irish had a 205-192 edge in total yards – and Lisle’s total included the 70 yards it tallied against a soft Seneca zone in the waning seconds of the second quarter.

In the second half, Lisle outgained the Irish, 127-40.

“What changed from (halftime) was we played a lot better in the defensive line,” Lisle coach Paul Parpet said.

“We started tackling a little bit, and then we kinda took

control of the game.”

An interception and 38yard return by Lisle’s Alec Van Volkenburg gave the Lions the ball at the Irish 7 to begin the second half, but they settled for a field goal and a 15-12 lead. The Lions did not start scoring touchdowns – which they would then do on four straight series – until after the ill-fated fake punt, which resulted in a loss of eight yards and possession for Lisle at its 29.

“It’s the momentum thing,” Seneca coach Ted O’Boyle said. “I made a terrible call on somewhat of a fake punt sort of thing that we have in. Turned the momentum around. That was a terrible call, and we didn’t get [the momentum] back. Pretty plain and simple on that. We made some boneheaded plays on special teams, and when you do that, it leads to a debacle of a second half.”

Lisle capitalized on the play with a 2-yard Michael Metoyer touchdown run. It

used a 26-yard touchdown pass from Mark McGrath to Nick Massura, a 5-yard Massura touchdown plunge and a 65-yard McGrath punt return for a touchdown to blow the game open from there.

The Irish got their only first down of the second half after all of the scoring was completed.

Seneca, which was coming off a 53-0 loss at Herscher, got off to a promising start. Its defense forced a three-andout, and on its first play from scrimmage, Logan Pifer hit a wide-open Mason Mitchell for a 91-yard touchdown on a halfback pass.

Lisle scored on its next drive and again early in the second quarter to take a 13-7 lead, but a 49-yard Hunter Simon run set up a Pifer 3-yard touchdown run with 6:41 left before halftime. The Irish then drove deep into Lisle territory late in the half, only to turn the ball over on downs.

They would not cross midfield again.

Costello took first place by four strokes. Lincoln-Way Central senior Anthony Bolden was second at 2-over 74, thanks largely to hitting 10 of 14 fairways on a breezy day.

That helped bring about a tap-in birdie on the par-5 15th after reaching the green in two. Bolden also drilled his approach on the par-4 10th to two feet for a birdie.

“You had to club up on a few holes, club down depending on where the wind was helping or hurting you,” Bolden said.

Lincoln-Way East’s Victor Perez-Luna and Neuqua’s Jack Richards scored 3-over 75 to tie for third.

Lockport – led by John Parker’s 4-over 76 – took third at 32-over 320, followed by Joliet Township (322) and Lem-

ont (323).

Bolden sees district rival Lincoln-Way East as the Knights’ main foe in Tuesday’s SWSC Red Conference tournament, and Friday’s scores reinforced that. Central and East tied for sixth at 327.

Lemont goes into South Suburban Blue battle Monday, paced by junior Jack Lund, who hit 12 greens in regulation and needed 33 putts to craft a 6-over 78.

“I believe we can get back to the 2A state finals this season,” Lund said. “We’ve got a solid starting four.”

Providence chases the Catholic League title, with Loyola Academy the ever-present co-favorite, Thursday at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Lemont.

JOLIET – A five-birdie round. A score of 2-under-par 70 at Wedgewood Golf Course.

First place.

Even with a gaudy scorecard, Ricky Costello wasn’t completely pleased.

The Providence junior saw his performance through the eyes of a team player.

Had Costello saved one more stroke, the Celtics would have won the Don Nichols Will County Boys Tournament outright. Instead, they and Neuqua Valley each scored 18-over-par 306, and Neuqua took the title on the score of their fifth-place man.

“I left a few strokes out there, but anytime you can

come out under par, you have to be happy with that,” Costello said. “Team – that’s what I’m a little bit bummed about.

One shot would have made that difference, us coming in first.”

Costello’s birdies ranged from a 25-foot putt on the par-5 first hole to two-putt birdies on a couple of par 5s.

It would have helped the Celtics’ cause if Mike Cascino had improved on his 78, or Tyler Roat or Ryan Miller had scored lower than 79. Or if Jack Walsh or Zach Bilotta, who tied for fifth on Providence, had been in the 70s instead of punching in with 87s.

Neuqua’s fifth man, Thomas Huang, put up an 80 on the scoreboard that broke the tie.

“He couldn’t do it all him-

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

No. 6 Notre Dame overcomes slow start vs. UMass The ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame punter Tyler Newsome pinned back Massachusetts, and returner C.J. Sanders got the sixth-ranked Fighting Irish going.

After Newsome placed a 52-yard punt on the Massachusetts 1, the Fighting Irish defense held the Minutemen to a yard on three plays and Sanders answered with a 50yard punt return that helped spark Notre Dame to the 62-27 victory Saturday.

Sanders cut at the 35 to avoid two Minutemen and made another cut at the 10 before racing into the end zone with 3:21 left in the first half to give the Irish a 28-20 lead.

“The special team work was outstanding,” said Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, pointing out Sanders especially. “He’s a very shifty runner.

He’s got great vision. It was a big play. It gave us momentum, certainly.”

DeShone Kizer threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Chris Brown with 6 seconds left in the first half to give the Irish a 35-20 halftime lead. C.J. Prosise, who rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns, added a 16-yard scoring run and freshman Dexter Williams added a 14-yard TD run to break open the game.

Notre Dame improved to 4-0 for the second straight season, the third time in six seasons under coach Brian Kelly. Massachusetts fell to 0-3 for the fourth straight season since moving up to the FBS level.

The 62 points were the most by the Irish since a 62-0 win over Rutgers in 1996 in Lou Holtz’s final home game as Notre Dame coach.

The Irish rushed for 457 yards, marking the fourth straight game of rushing for more than 200 yards. Prosise became the first Notre Dame player with three straight 100-yard games since Darius Walker did it in 2005.

shove from one of his lineman, and a hug around his helmet from relieved quarterback Wes Lunt.

But to really celebrate, they had to wait.

With more than two minutes to work with, Middle Tennessee’s Brent Stockstill led the Blue Raiders back up the field, far enough to set up a 43-yard field goal try for Cody Clark with eight seconds to play.

Clark drilled the kick wide left, Blue Raiders coach Rick Stockstill’s head slumped low as he squatted in front of the Middle Tennessee sideline and Illinois (3-1) ran out the clock to win, barely, 27-25.

Zalewski missed a field goal earlier Saturday and two in last week’s loss at North Carolina after struggling for most of 2014. But he was confident his 51-yarder, 3 yards short of a career long, would be good from the moment he hit it.

“I have a new approach this year,” Zalewski said. “It doesn’t matter what happened that last kick. Last year just didn’t go well. It was a tough year, we all know that.”

Rick Stockstill, on the other hand, didn’t have a lot of confidence that the Blue Raiders (2-2) would get the win with Clark kicking from 43 yards out.

“Not really. I mean we’ve been inconsistent this whole year,” he said. “I’m not going to lie to you and say I thought it was he was going to make it.”

Boston College narrowly gets past Northern Illinois

BOSTON – Troy Flutie threw a touchdown pass in his first career start and Jon Hilliman had a tiebreaking 21-yard scoring run to lift Boston College to a 17-14 win over Northern Illinois on Saturday.

Flutie, the nephew of 1984 Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie, a Boston College graduate, completed 5 of 11 passes for 92 yards with one interception. It was his second career Illini survive Blue Raiders TD toss. His uncle had 67 from 1981-84. with late field goal Hilliman carried 24 times CHAMPAIGN – After Taylor Zalewski’s 51-yard field for 119 yards for the Eagles (3goal gave Illinois a 2-point lead 1).

Joel Bouagnon rushed for with 2:09 to play Saturday, the struggling kicker got a playful 56 yards on 16 attempts, in-

cluding a 2-yard TD for Northern Illinois (2-2). Drew Hare completed 11 of 25 passes for 81 yards and Aregeros Turner took a kickoff back 86 yards for a TD. It was just the second ever meeting between the schools.

The Eagles, who entered the week with the nation’s topranked defense, held NIU to 153 total yards.

The Huskies moved to BC’s 35 in the closing two minutes,

but their drive stalled with three straight incompletions.

Hilliman broke up the middle untouched and cut toward the left pylon, pushing BC in front 14-7 late in the third quarter.

Colton Litchenberg kicked his first career field goal, a 25-yarder to make it 17-7 with 4:40 to play, but Turner took the ensuing kickoff back for a score.

NIU had moved to BC’s 12

midway into the third before Christian Hagan missed right on 29-yard field goal attempt.

After a first quarter filled with punts – eight total, five by the Huskies – and offenses were bogged down by bad passes and two false start penalties by each team, the Eagles jumped ahead 7-0 when Flutie capped a 68-yard drive by rolling right and hitting Charlie Callinan with a 27-yarder early in the second quarter.

Cubs get to celebrate playoff clincher after loss to Pirates

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The blaring music and smell of sparkling wine were unmistakable once the doors opened to the media.

By then, the Cubs’ clubhouse was mostly empty.

Players and coaches were back on the field, dousing each other, posing for pictures and trading hugs.

Fans chanted “Thank you, Tom! Thank you, Tom!” at a drenched chairman Tom Ricketts.

The last to leave the field was first-year manager Joe Maddon, wearing a 2015 postseason cap and a towel draped around his neck. He waved to fans yelling “Joe! Joe! Joe!” as he exited.

The Cubs lost, 4-0, to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday afternoon, but Maddon and the Cubs weren’t going to let that spoil their celebration.

With San Francisco losing to Oakland Friday night, Cubs clinched its first postseason berth since 2008. The Cubs could have wrapped it up earlier that day, but a loss to the Pirates put the celebration on hold.

They finally got their chance to let loose after Saturday’s game.

“It’s both a sense of ac-

complishment and pride and the contributions of so many people who overcame a lot to get here,” Theo Epstein said. “It also feels like a beginning. I don’t feel like this is the ultimate goal.”

That, of course, would be winning the World Series for the first time since 1908. As general manager in Boston, Epstein helped end one long championship drought. And as president of baseball operations in Chicago, he is trying to do the same.

The Cubs’ road back to the playoffs was a difficult one. The Cubs endured five straight losing seasons before this year and a top-tobottom overhaul under Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer.

“Last night, there was an awful lot of thinking back to like 2011, 2012, and how daunting a task it seemed for a lot of people involved,” said Epstein, who acknowledged he was barely awake when San Francisco lost.

But on Saturday, the Cubs were tipping their caps as fans roared following a pre-game video tribute.

“The feeling around Wrigleyville and in Chicago now is one that hasn’t been here for a long time,” said

NL Cy Young Award candidate Jake Arrieta. “I’m just happy to be a part of it with these group of guys and with the people, the fans, that are behind us.”

The Cubs began loading up the minor league system almost as soon as Epstein and Hoyer were hired in the fall of 2011, and it paid off in a big way.

Young players started to make their way to the majors last season. The Cubs then made it clear they were serious about winning when they hired Maddon and signed left-hander Jon Lester in the offseason.

Besides those big additions, there were the arrivals of rookies Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Addison Russell.

All three debuted this season. And all three made a big impact.

They’ve been having a good time this season, and the fun goes beyond an 89-64 record that matched Kansas City’s for third best in the majors entering Saturday’s game.

Fun is something Maddon has stressed all year, along with celebrating success. The Cubs turn their clubhouse into a nightclub after victories with a hightech sound system and strobe lights.

White Sox are eliminated in loss to Yankees The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – The White Sox have been over .500 for just one day this season, when they were 18-17 in midMay. It has been clear for weeks that they would not reach the playoffs, so there was little suspense when they were mathematically eliminated Saturday with a 2-1 loss to the New York Yankees.

“Disappointing. We all expected more,” pitcher John Danks said.

“This will definitely leave a sour taste in my mouth.”

The Sox had three singles in the first inning, when Jose Abreu drove in his 97th run. The Sox had only three baserunners after that, all on fifth-inning walks by Adam Warren (7-7), who escaped the jam by striking out Abreu.

“We knew that we had a very good team for the season, but also we had too many new faces,” Abreu said through a translator. “It was a little hard to try to build that chemistry.

But I think that we’re building something good for next season.”

Danks (7-14) held the Yankees to three singles until the sixth, when Jacoby Ellsbury singled leading off and stole second. Chase Headley doubled on a hop into the Sox bullpen in left-center, and Alex Rodriguez doubled when he hit a hard two-hop bouncer off the glove of third baseman Mike Olt, who tried for a backhand snare. The ball bounced into the seats as Headley scored for a 2-1 lead.

It’s been that type of season for the Sox.

Cultivating beauty, joy, tranquility Volunteers maintain JACH gardens

If you go WHAT: Volunteer Workday WHEN: 9 a.m. to noon, Oct. 18 WHERE: Joliet Area Community Hospice, 250 Water Stone Circle, Joliet ETC: New volunteers are always welcome.

VISIT: www.joliethospice.org CONTACT: Jerilyn Smith, volunteer coordinator at JACH at 815-460-3262

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – One day, a man approached one of the garden volunteers at Joliet Area Community Hospice with a request: could his father, who always loved tomato plants, have one outside his window?

So the volunteer, Jean Roach of Joliet, planted a big pot of them in full view of the window, which the patient really appreciated.

“He had it there until he died,” Roach said.

Roach said she was on the hospice board during the home’s construction in the early 2000s and felt, even then, that the landscape ought to reflect JACH’s compassionate care. She didn’t want the sculpted, manicured appearance of many commercial buildings.

“I wanted it to look like a family garden,” Roach said.

Because JACH is the place people come to fully live their last days, Roach wanted the gardens to provide peace, joy and an array of colors – as well as birds and butterflies.

“It didn’t have to be flamboyant,” Roach said. “It could be something as simple as snapdragons and zinnias that people are used to seeing in their gardens at home.”

The first year, Roach said volunteers planted 70 flats of marigolds because marigolds are hardy. That fall, they planted 1,600 bulbs – tulips, crocuses, hyacinths and daffodils – so a variety of colors would appear in the spring.

“We learned that deer liked to eat tulips,” Roach said, “so, consequently, we planted more daffodils.”

Experts assist

Several local nurseries

A statue used as a bird fountain stands in one of the many flower gardens at Joliet Area Community Hospice Thursday in Joliet. have donated annuals through the years, Roach said, and shared their knowledge, as have members of local garden clubs and master gardeners.

Kevin Eberhard, chief horticulturist for Joliet Park District’s Barber & Oberwortmann Horticultural Center and Bird Haven Greenhouse, said he’s helped volunteers select plants, solve problems (leaves dropping, dead branches and perennials that failed to re-bloom), start their seeds in pots and share extra cuttings from his plants. He’s happy to help.

“Jean puts her heart into the whole garden. It’s her baby,” Eberhard said. “When someone is so passionate about a project, you’re going to get sucked in.”

Caryn Genens, greenhouse manager at Joliet Junior College, has helped in similar ways. Genens praised JACH – her father had received hospice care, she said – and called flowers “food for the soul.”

“I know when I walk in my garden or the garden here

“It’s a wonderful way to give back.”

Lyn Melnick Coordinator for the Cathedral of St. Raymond’s annual day of service

[JJC], I feel a peace or tranquility,” Genens said, “so I feel the garden there [JACH] does help the people who come.”

Master gardener Carol Krivickas of Shorewood participates in scheduled volunteer days, but also regularly tends a section, weeding and watering. Waiting patiently in the shade while Krivickas works is Stanley, Krivickas’ 8-year-old rescue dog, who is a Brittany Spaniel Beagle mix.

“We walk around the lake when I’m done and he gets new sniffs,” Krivickas said.

In addition to the actual gardening, Marsha Stowe of Joliet, also a master gardener, maintains a spread sheet of volunteers, organizes work days and helps select plants,

which includes milkweed to attract monarchs.

Occasionally, Stowe will bring her 98-year-old mother Eileen Mrozek, who’s in palliative care, along with her, with Mrozek holding the plants on her lap while Stowe pushes her wheelchair. Stowe feels she has made good friends while blessing patients and their families.

“One lady talked about how much she loved the butterflies in the garden,” Stowe said, “and what comfort they were to her and her mother.

It doesn’t get any better than that when you hear how much it means to them.”

Blessings and surprises

Lyn Melnick of Joliet is a coordinator for the Cathedral of St. Raymond’s annual day of service. Each year for the past several years, Melnick, her family and several other families and their children have planted 100 bulbs in the hospice garden.

The labor is especially poignant to Melnick. Her mother,

Lucille Singraber, received care from JACH before she died in 2011.

“It’s a wonderful way to give back,” Melnick said, The garden itself is a perennial process of change. An irrigation system, Roach said, means a stop to early morning and evening trips to JACH to water. More perennials mean less soliciting for donations of annuals, such as geraniums and petunias.

There’s coral bells, pink fairy roses and blue asters.

There’s vegetables – tomatoes and peppers. There’s pots of herbs in various locations.

The goal is to have something blooming all the time, Roach said But the blessings and the daily surprises – those never change.

One day when Roach was weeding, she spied a mother duck and a nest full of eggs. On another day, she saw movement in one of the three-foot tall planters and jumped back in fright.

It wasn’t a snake, as Roach had feared.

“So we made a sign: ‘Don’t go by the herb pot in the courtyard,’ ” Roach said. “ ‘There’s bunnies in there.’ ”

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

There are two ways to get home safely

CELEBRITY CIPHER

In 1995, there was an interesting fashion advertisement in The New York Times Magazine. In a cartoon, two young women were talking to each other on different pages. These were their lines: “So what do you think of the new V.P. of Marketing?”

“There are only two things I don’t like about her. Her face.”

Although that is snide, it is funny.

The key word for today’s deal, though, is “two.” How should South play in three no-trump after West has led the spade queen?

North’s bidding problem is difficult.

Discuss it with your partner.

It is easy for declarer to get careless on this deal by taking the first trick, cashing the ace of clubs, and playing another club. With this layout, though, he goes down.

There are two ways to collect nine tricks: one spade, two diamonds and six clubs; or one spade, five diamonds and three clubs. South should try for both. Also, if he needs five diamond tricks, he should finesse dummy’s jack.

(To cash the ace and king of diamonds immediately, hoping to drop the doubleton queen while declarer still has communication in clubs, is against the odds.)

South should win trick one, play a club to dummy’s king, then return a club to his ace. If the suit splits, he goes to dummy with a diamond to the king, and runs the clubs. Here, though, when West discards a heart on the second club, declarer leads a low diamond to dummy’s jack, cashes the diamond king, and claims nine tricks.

This is a rare example of a deal in which “the honor from the shorter side first” is the wrong play. ******

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff objects while your body is in an awkward position can also cause problems.

When lifting heavy objects, remember to bend at the knees.

• Exercise regularly.

Even after the episode of pain has ended, regular exercise is really important in reducing the risk of recurrent back pain.

Certain aerobic exercises are safer for your back than others. These include swimming, walking or cycling (either stationary or regular). Make these exercises a part of your regular exercise routine.

Add back-strengthening exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your spine. (I’ve put examples of some back-strengthening exercises on my website, askdoctork. com.) Finally, add some stretching to your exercise routine. Supple, wellstretched muscles are less prone to injury.

Keep up these good habits even after your discomfort is gone. During an episode of low back pain, a person typically moves cautiously. You’re more likely to bend the knees when picking something up, and sit down and get up with care. Such back-saving maneuvers, along with a back-strengthening exercise program, should become lifelong habits to help reduce your risk of repeat back pain.

Your doctor can prescribe treatments to help you deal with an episode of back pain – pain-killing medicines and physical therapy of various sorts.

But more important is what you can do for yourself.

Dear Dr. K: I hurt my back a few weeks ago. I’m feeling better now, but not 100 percent. How quickly should I return to normal activities? I don’t want to reinjure my back.

Dear Reader: You’re wise to be cautious. After an episode of back pain, it’s essential to properly time your return to normal activities. Too rapid a return could lead to a relapse.

But – and this is an important “but” – too timid a return can delay, or even prevent, recovery. It used to be that doctors recommended immobility and bed rest for people with a sudden back injury that was causing a lot of pain.

But studies in recent years have shown that getting mobilized actually leads to better outcomes. The trick is how to get mobilized, and at what pace.

If you are recovering from back pain, it’s best to ask your doctor detailed questions about what you can do and when. In the meantime, here are a few general principles for a safe and effective recovery: • Symptoms should be your guide. As a general rule, avoid doing anything that hurts. If you feel pain, stop the activity.

• Increase activities gradually, based on what you can tolerate. For example, you might start by doing four or five repetitions of an abdominal exercise, three times a day.

If this doesn’t worsen your pain, you can increase the number of repetitions every few days –and add new exercises –as tolerated.

If the exercises increase your discomfort, cut back for a while. When you’re feeling a bit better, resume the exercises and gradually increase repetitions as you can.

• Avoid twisting your trunk or making sudden off-balance movements.

Try to rid your house of clutter that can trip you up. Slippery surfaces and throw rugs are notorious for causing falls. Lifting

Woman wants to disconnect from long-winded friend

Beetle Bailey

The Herald-News • Sunday, September 27, 2015

| COMICS & ADVICE

64

Dear Abby: I’m a woman who has always had trouble with women friends who like to call and chat. It has never really been my thing. One of them never asks if I’m busy; she just plunges into a conversation that usually lasts an hour. I never call her. If she asks me to return her call, I’ll wait a day or two. I’m afraid to tell her I don’t like spending that kind of time on the phone because I know it will hurt her feelings.

I have lost friends in the past because of this. I think instead of avoiding her calls and feeling guilty, I’d rather not have her as a friend. I’d be happier reading a book or working on my hobbies. Am I being silly? – Ambushed in

Blondie

Northern California Dear Ambushed: It’s time to

be honest with this woman -- to a point. To tell her you would rather not have her as a friend because she’s long-winded on the phone would be unkind. However, it would not be inappropriate to level with her about how uncomfortable long telephone calls are for you, and give her a chance to amend her behavior. She’s not a mind reader and she may not be aware that her calls are intrusive.

Dear Abby: My 24-year-old son, “Nick,” is marrying his fiance next fall. My family loves Nick dearly, but they have never been able to come to terms with the fact that he is gay (he came out 10 years ago).

My family is very conservative religiously, and this is tearing us apart. Family members are taking stands about who is coming to the wedding and who isn’t. Those who aren’t coming are wanting to meet with my husband and me to explain their stance. We are saddened that they feel the way they do, but ultimately, it’s their decision.

My ulcers are a mess, and my husband isn’t sleeping.

We just want to share a

Mom Dear Iowa Mom: You can’t

plaster over the split in your family because you aren’t the cause. Ensure Nick’s wedding will be the happy occasion it’s supposed to be by celebrating it with friends and relatives who are supportive. You will suffer fewer ulcers and your husband will sleep better if you stop forcing yourself to listen to the self-justification of family members your son and his husband will likely have little or nothing to do with in the future.

Dear Abby: I found out I have breast cancer again, except this time I am dying. I do not know when.

I have told family and friends about the cancer, but not about the fact that it will be terminal. How can I get some of them to come and visit me while I’m still feeling good? I have asked, but only about three have come.

I feel lonely, Abby. I don’t drive, so it’s difficult. I feel life is still good, so what can I do? – Living In The Present

in Maine Dear Living: I’m sorry about

your prognosis. While you can still enjoy their company, you should level with the people you care about and tell them what’s going on.

That way, fewer of them will procrastinate, and you can have the emotional support you need during this difficult time.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Stamina, discipline and careful planning will lead to your success this year. Impulsive or emotional decisions will not work out in your favor and should be avoided. By doing careful research, you will be able to come up with a workable strategy that will help you advance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Romance, adventure and travel will fill your day with excitement.

Friends and loved ones will enjoy your company.

An unusual proposal will be enticing and will spark your imagination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Adaptability and ingenuity will attract influential people to your side.

Your innovative problem-solving skills will make you a prime contender for advancement. Unusual job prospects will open up if you mix business with

pleasure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Hard work deserves a reward. Enhancements to your living quarters will bring you greater comfort and joy.

Purchase items that will add to your convenience or entertainment. Romance is encouraged.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Avoid emotional confrontations. Eliminate the people and ideas that have been confusing you or holding you back.

A day trip will change your outlook.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You will receive important advice. Solitary soul-searching will help you make a rational decision. The vision others have for you may not coincide with your own.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Plan a day of personal pleasures and pampering. Getting together

with good friends for some lively entertainment will help keep your mind off of everyday trials and tribulations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Put some time aside for fun and games. Get your priorities straight. An intimate evening with someone special will help make amends for the lack of time you have spent together.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Monetary loss will result if your personal information becomes compromised. Guard your assets carefully and keep your valuables out of sight. You need to be extra vigilant when traveling.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Be a participant in your community. Environmental causes, neighborhood improvements or charitable organizations warrant

your time and elbow grease. Don’t complain if you haven’t made an effort to find a solution.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Do your best to keep the peace and avoid getting into a battle of wills with a family member or friend. It’s in your best interest to stay calm.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Find an innovative way to have a romantic liaison with someone you love. If you are single, socialize in order to meet someone who shares your sentiments. A short journey will enhance your prospects.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Constant stress will take its toll on your health. An introspective look at the anxieties and conflicts you are facing will help you decide what is needed to repair the situation.
