Illiana tollway project clears hurdle with impact study

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com The Federal Highway Administration gave the green light Friday to the Illiana Expressway project, meaning transportation officials can move forward with the proposed $1.5 billion, 47-mile tollway linking Interstate 55 near Wilmington to Interstate 65 in Indiana.

The federal agency Friday announced the completion of the Illiana Corridor project’s tier two environmental impact study, which expands on an earlier tier one study outlining the need for transportation improvements for east-west travel in the 952 square-mile corridor.

The tier two environmental impact study details a more specific route, noting that the design provides the least environmental harm to the area.

State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, said Friday he’s pleased with the announcement.

“It’s another piece in a longterm puzzle,” Walsh Jr. said.

“It’s a much-needed piece of infrastructure that will help the growth of Will County.”

The tollway’s proposed path would skirt the south edge of the planned South Suburban Airport, connecting it with nearby trucking intermodal yards in Joliet and Elwood, Walsh Jr. said.

The study also includes detailed engineering and environmental analysis that refine the project’s features, impacts and right-of-way footprint within the preferred route. Some of the engineering work also included interchange locations and layout, drainage studies and overpass and underpass opportunities.

Illinois Department of Transportation’s acting secretary Erica Borggren called the FHA’s recommendation and release of the study a “significant milestone,” in a statement released Friday.

“While we still have a few more steps to go, today’s recommendation from the federal government shows once again that the Illiana fulfills a major transportation need in this region and throughout the Midwest,” Borggren said in the statement.

While the federal agency recommended that the project

move forward, it noted “major unresolved issues with other agencies” that the project leaders will have to resolve. Those issues includes resolving the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s concerns about some endangered species located along the route.

Another issue, though not noted in the study, is the pushback the project has received from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, which controls federal funding for major projects in the region.

The agency could vote to remove the project from its GO TO 2040 plan at its upcoming Oct. 8 meeting, effectively putting a stop to the state’s plan for the expressway.

With the release of the tier two study on Friday, the federal agency will now consider additional comments for a 30day public comment period.

An official record of decision – which would allow the project to proceed – is expected by IDOT later this year. Once state officials get federal approval, land acquisition can began.

If approved, construction on the Illiana could start in late summer or fall of 2015.

Will County names new Historic Preservation Commission manager THE HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – An Illinois native has been named manager of Will County’s Historic Preservation Commission.

J a n i n e Wilkosz joined the Will County Land Use Department in August and will be responsible for Janine promoting public awareness Wilkosz of and involvement in historic preservation, according to a news release from the county.

“I am looking forward to expanding and diversifying our Will County landmark portfo-

lio,” Wilkosz said in the news release. “We have some townships that do not have a Will County landmark yet; one of my first objectives is to change that. I am excited to engage with residents in Will County and educate them about the benefits preservation can bring to their communities.”

Wilkosz earned her bachelor’s degree in art history from DePaul University in Chicago, with an emphasis in architectural history, and a master’s degree in historic preservation from Columbia University in New York, with an emphasis in preservation planning, according to the news release.

She previously worked for

the University of Chicago as an assistant to the head of the Capital Project Delivery department, and for the Hinsdale Historical Society’s Roger and Ruth Anderson Architecture Center.

Founded in 1992, the county’s Historic Preservation Commission is dedicated to maintaining the county’s historic preservation ordinance, according to the news release.

“We want to preserve our past while embracing our future growth,” Will County Land Use Department Director Curt Paddock said in the news release. “Janine is the perfect person to ensure our important historic landmarks are protected.”

QUICK NEWS Reward offered for manhole information PLAINFIELD – Plainfield School District 202 is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or people responsible for removing the manhole cover from the storm sewer drain in the southwest field at Ira Jones Middle School.

On Sept. 19, a girl fell through the steel grate covering the drain. The district subsequently welded the grate and bolted it to the concrete, then replaced the entire top of the sewer drain with a new fixture/cap with a solid steel manhole cover.

“It was not bolted or attached – that is not typically done, probably because the covers weigh about 200 pounds,” the district said in a news release issued Friday.

About 10:30 a.m. Friday, a teacher noticed the manhole cover was missing. An employee sat by the storm sewer until the district’s facilities department arrived. The manhole cover was found in the grass by an adjacent fence, according to the news release.

Anyone with information is asked to call Plainfield police Sgt. Kevin McQuaid at 815-267-7209.

COVER STORY

Some commuters express displeasure at 102-year-old station’s closing up to take pictures of its departure.

Train geek Kevin Griffin arrived just in time to snap a few photos. Griffin said he was on his way back from Michigan and stopped by to record the event.

“I had heard they were working on it, but I didn’t know that they were [shutting down the platforms] today,” Griffin said.

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Most commuters waiting for the 9:21 on Friday had no idea they were about to board the last train out of Union Station.

And those who were aware that the 102-year-old station’s boarding platforms were about to shut down weren’t too happy.

“I’m not a happy camper,” said Kelly Peters, of Joliet.

“It’s not very convenient at all.”

Peters said she commutes to Chicago on the Rock Island District a couple of times each week for medical reasons.

Starting next week, she’ll have to use the new, mostly open air platform south of Jefferson Street between Michigan Street and Eastern Avenue.

In the past, Peters said she was dropped off at Union Station, took the elevator to track level and boarded the train.

She doubted boarding would be as easy at the new platform.

“The trains are unforgiving. They can leave pretty quickly,” Peters said. “They announce they’re leaving and then they leave.”

Opened in 1912

Last train, first ride For Sophia Flowers, 3, the last outbound was her first chance to ride on a train.

“She’s so excited. She just loves Choo Choo Thomas,” mom Jola Flowers said, referring to Thomas the Tank Engine. Flowers said the pair planned to go to Chicago, where they would “walk around and enjoy the beautiful day.”

Union Station’s Rock Island and Heritage Corridor platforms officially shut down at 10 a.m. Friday.

Two commuters who missed the 9:21 a.m. train continued to wait at the old platform, not realizing all commuter train traffic on both lines now would be directed to

the new platforms.

The last Heritage Corridor train out was the 7:05 a.m.

Afternoon Heritage trains returning to Joliet will now drop off commuters at a temporary platform across the street from Silver Cross Field.

The two platforms are part of the city’s $41.25 million Joliet transportation center project, which will include a new train station at the southwest corner of Mayor

Art Schultz Drive and Jefferson Street, tied into a new bus station to be built on St. Louis Street. The new train station is expected to open in summer 2016.

Commuter confusion Commuter Jeff Skrolyck, of Joliet, said he’d heard about the plan, but not many specific details.

“I knew it was coming, but I didn’t know it was today,”

Skrolyck said.

Joel Alonzo, who was traveling to Chicago for a job interview, also was unaware of the change.

“I just heard about it,” Alonzo said. “If I get the job I’ll be taking the train all the time.”

The train arrived about 10 minutes late because of track work. It left abruptly, with no fanfare, except from a few train aficionados who showed

Union Station has been in continuous operation as a passenger station since October 1912, according to Bill Molony, president of the Blackhawk Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society.

Prior to that, Joliet had as many as five stations, all at street level, Molony said. The set-up caused a lot of traffic problems, leading the city to pass an ordinance that train lines would have to be elevated throughout the city.

Three railroads – the Chicago & Rock Island, the Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe, and the Chicago & Alton – were among the first to elevate their tracks. The three companies jointly built Union Station to serve their lines.

Before the road system and air travel developed, the railroads served as the primary link for many towns, delivering passengers, freight and mail.

“For more than 100 years the train station was the front door of the community,” Molony said. “Everything came by rail – Sears Roebuck deliveries, the new schoolteacher, visitors, the mail – all came by train. Either you took the train, or you didn’t go.”

At its height, Union Station served about 120 trains a day.

The upstairs ballroom served as a waiting area.

“You could get on a train and pretty much go anywhere

Quinn touches on the issues in Joliet Talks minimum wage, education, development

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Gov. Pat Quinn emphasized support Friday for more investments in early childhood education, raising the minimum wage and several Will County developments.

The Democratic incumbent, who faces Republican challenger Bruce Rauner in November, came to Joliet’s Patrick Haley Mansion to speak about his vision for Illinois to local business and political leaders during an event put on by the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Among the many issues Quinn covered were stronger investments in education and raising the minimum wage as ways to grow the state economy.

He also expressed support for the Illiana Expressway and South Suburban Airport developments in what he said was the “fastest growing county” in the state.

Initiatives Quinn called for more investment in early childhood education, saying there were 1 million children from birth to age 5 who needed it. Quinn has proposed a five-year, $1.5 billion initiative to expand prenatal care, early care and learning opportunities.

“When you invest in early childhood education, it pays dividends in a lifetime,” he said.

He also called for more financial investment in scholarships for higher education.

He said such investments would pay dividends in jobs, economic activity and development. Right now, students are plagued by student loan debt, he said.

Another way to grow the state economy would be to raise the minimum wage, Quinn said.

His campaign proposes raising the current rate from $8.25 an hour to at least $10 over the next two years. Families have a hard time sup-

Gov. Pat Quinn speaks Friday during a Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry luncheon in Joliet. porting themselves with the current minimum wage, he said.

“I know that may not be the most popular thing to say at a Chamber of Commerce, but it has to be said,” he said.

Quinn expressed support for increasing earned income tax credits for working families. He criticized Rauner for wanting to slash income taxes, which he said would result in a $4 billion loss for Illinois’ educational systems.

According to Rauner’s campaign website, he proposes ending the income tax hike that took place under Quinn,

calling it a part of a “broken tax system” that has led to the highest taxes in the nation and worst unemployment in the Midwest. The 67 percent hike, approved in 2011, is set to expire at the end of this year.

Quinn said the best way to cut property taxes is to fund schools through the income tax, which he called the “best way and fairest way” to have a growing economy.

Will County Quinn said Will County is the fastest growing county in the state and he praised the

CenterPoint Intermodal Center as an important economic asset in Illinois.

He also commended the county’s tourism efforts and Joliet city officials’ downtown terminal plans, which he said would be an “economic magnet” for the area.

Quinn said he supports the Illiana Expressway project. The $1.3 billion, four-lane highway project seeks to connect Interstate 55 in Wilmington to Interstate 65 near Lowell, Indiana. The project would relieve truck traffic and prove important for the county and state economy, he said.

“We want to continue building a road that relieves congestion … on I-80,” he said.

He also supported the development of the South Suburban Airport. Early this year, the Illinois Department of Transportation purchased a general aviation airport near Monee as part of the project.

“We’ve got to have a 21st century airport that’s going to serve the south part of our metropolitan region,” Quinn said. “This area for years and years, in my opinion, was neglected and not properly invested in.”

Business leaders welcome Quinn’s presentation

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Gov. Pat Quinn’s appearance in Joliet was met favorably by some members of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Quinn came Friday to the Patrick Haley Mansion in Joliet to speak about issues at the core of his Democratic bid for governor in November.

He also touched on many issues in Will County, such as increasing truck traffic, the Illiana Expressway and South Suburban Airport projects.

Education and infrastructure investment were issues Quinn touched on that resonated with Russ Slinkard, chief executive officer and president of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Slinkard said Quinn did a good job outlining his ideas for education and state infrastructure, but he also wished Quinn would have spoken more about the Illiana Expressway, which he only touched on briefly.

He said Quinn offered a better presentation than his

Republican opponent Bruce Rauner.

“I will say, I thought Quinn was much more forthcoming with what his vision was, what his direction would be [and] what he hopes to provide,” he said.

In June, when Rauner appeared in Joliet for a luncheon hosted by the Chamber, Slinkard said at the time he would have appreciated more details from Rauner about how he would enact his plans.

Jeff Thompson, the chamber’s board chairman, said he thought Quinn wasn’t

afraid of the issues he discussed and opened the floor to questions, which he said was refreshing.

Quinn is well informed about issues affecting Will County, Thompson said, such as the traffic congestion on Interstate 80.

“We actually took him for a ride over there and we showed him the backup. He remembers that vividly,” he said.

While Quinn says he favors businesses, Thompson said it doesn’t always show on the legislative level.

He said he appreciated Quinn’s efforts in reforming worker’s compensation in the state, but not his plan to keep the income tax at 5 percent.

“We would rather see that go back to 3.5 percent … we think it stymies the economy more than it helps the economy,” he said.

Thompson wasn’t optimistic about the state ever having a balanced budget, considering its numerous financial problems, such as its pension system. Whoever is elected will have “a lot of challenges,” he said.

A HISTORICAL TREASURE Paleontologist, Boy Scout work to repair cemetery

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A paleontologist and Boy Scout are attempting to restore a historical treasure just south of the River Valley Justice Center and east of the soccer fields along Mission Boulevard.

Wilmington resident Gina Wysocki and New Lenox Troop 49 Boy Scout Garrett Latham on Saturday led a restoration effort of the old Will County Poor Farm cemetery, which was overrun with prairie life and apple trees.

The weeds were cut down with the help of about 15 people, several weed wackers and hard work. The restoration effort also called for the creation of a cement path and benches in the cemetery grounds.

The cemetery contains the remains of more than 150 people who died on the poor farm between 1851 and 1916. The poor farm was a county-run farm that provided housing and work for the needy, including poor people and the terminally ill.

“No one came to visit these people,” said Wysocki, a paleontologist who has been researching the poor farm and cemetery for several years.

“They weren’t given proper burials. At least we can respect them by doing this.”

Wysocki’s research has

resulted in her reuniting families with their ancestors who lived on and were buried at the farm.

“We clean it up every year, but not to the extent that we’re doing now,” she said. “I met so many amazing people and families while researching this site.”

The project was led by Latham, who managed the restoration effort for his Eagle Scout project.

“The cemetery has an eerie history behind it,” he said. “I think it’s important to restore places like this because people just don’t know things that they should know about.”

Latham got the idea for the project while he was cleaning his room one day and found an old book written by Wysocki called “Digging up the Dirt,” about the poor farm and cemetery.

Wysocki hopes to get enough funding to build a cast iron fence around the site, which would help keep out vandals and others who she said have desecrated the graves during the past century.

All the graves except for one in the cemetery are marked by numbers, not names.

Wysocki said people started being buried at the cemetery in 1851. But records for the cemetery weren’t started until 1877.

Vikaas Shanker – vshanker@shawmedia.com

Volunteers work to chop weeds and rake leaves Saturday morning to reveal gravestones marked with numbers at the Will County Poor Farm cemetery located south of the River Valley Justice Center in Joliet.

The cemetery stopped being maintained by the government shortly after the last burial in 1916 because of changing laws affecting cemeteries, Wysocki said.

It was maintained in various degrees until 1955, she said. In 1970, another Boy Scout cleaned up the cemetery as part of his Eagle Scout project.

But the cemetery was again forgotten until 2002, when Wysocki discovered its rich history while working with the Joliet Area Historical Museum.

“The Realtor said it was a pet cemetery. But we started researching it and found people were buried here,” she said, who also led the instal-

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Richland School District 88a teachers remain at odds with the administration with votes of no confidence and through stalled union contract negotiations.

Dick Manley, president of American Federation of Teachers Local 604, said he spoke about the rift between administration and teachers at the district’s regular board meeting Wednesday.

He said teachers’ morale was low and they have been retaliated against for June’s votes of no confidence in Superintendent Michael Early and Principal Kelly Whyte.

“I think if the teachers took another vote, even more people would have voted no confidence,” Manley said, adding there hasn’t been any movement by the board to address teachers’ concerns. “If certain members of the board thought this was going away, it isn’t.”

Manley also said union negotiations have hit an impasse with the administra-

tion. Talks have entered into mediation. And both sides have been at odds on several items, including class size, teacher discipline, work environment, salary and insurance.

“Everything seems to be falling apart,” he said.

Teachers union Vice President Steve Camp also felt like the board was trying to bury the votes of no confidence.

“Any serious deal they offer to try to fix the situation and we’ll be there,” Camp said, adding that teachers are becoming anxious at the outcome of the votes and contract negotiations.

“We haven’t even discussed salaries,” Camp said of the negotiations. “It’s telling that during this negotiation teachers are more concerned about working conditions than money.”

Early confirmed talks are being held up on some sticking points.

“The goal is to get a deal done,” he said. “We still have language issues and issues with finances. Both sides are anxious to get a deal done.”

School Board President Julie Starasinich declined to comment on the investigation the board launched to look into claims made by the teachers in their votes of no confidence because it was a personnel matter. The board in August hired Joliet attorney James Harvey to conduct the investigation, which Starasinich said was complete.

But she said the board is actively working on developing a solution to the work climate issue addressed by teachers.

“I believe that this will be rectified,” she said, adding that the board will release the results of Harvey’s investigation soon.

Balanced budget The school board passed another balanced operating budget of $8.59 million Wednesday.

“It’s a balanced budget and we’re quite pleased,” Early said. The budget accounts for the construction of a new band room in the future, which Early said was necessary because of overflow.

JOLIET – Blood splatters found on the shirt worn

by Joshua Miner the day of the Hickory Street slayings matched perfectly with one of the victims, an Illinois State Police forensic scientist testified Friday.

Kelly Krajnik – one of three witnesses to take the stand during Miner’s murder trial Friday – testified that two blood samples found on Miner’s shirt matched that Joshua Miner of Terrence Rankins, whom Miner is accused of punching and strangling to death the night of Jan. 9, 2013, in the 1100 block of North Hickory Street in Joliet.

Rankins’ friend Eric Glover Jr. also was strangled to death that night.

Prosecutors say Miner, Adam Landerman, Bethany McKee and Alisa Massaro lured Rankins and Glover to the apartment to rob the two men so they could buy cigarettes and drugs.

During cross-examination, defense attorney Lea Norbut asked Krajnik if Rankins’ blood was also found on shoes and pants worn by Massaro – one of the four charged in the double-homicide.

“Yes,” Krajnik said.

Earlier in the week, during a video interrogation by police played in court, Miner said that he punched Rankins while strangling him. In the video, Miner pointed to two blood stains on his black

T-shirt.

“I’m wearing the clothes I had on [that night],” Miner told police.

James Rasmussen, Will County deputy coroner, testified Friday he took blood samples from Rankins for use in the investigation.

William Anselme, a state police forensic biologist, testified he collected DNA samples from Miner’s shirt by cutting out small portions that were stained with blood.

Krajnik used the samples taken by Rasmussen and Anselme to match Rankins’ blood to the stains found on Miner’s shirt.

Miner, 26, is one of four people who have been charged in the deaths of Rankins and Glover Jr., both 22. The killings happened in Massaro’s home.

Massaro agreed to testify against the others in exchange for pleading guilty to lesser charges. Bethany McKee was found guilty last month.

Landerman is awaiting trial.

On Thursday, a video recording that was played in court showed Miner telling police that he, Massaro and Landerman tried to have sex near the bodies of Glover Jr. and Rankins following the killings, but they couldn’t perform because of “performance-anxiety” issues and that “it was weird.”

“That was my idea. It was more a joke than anything,” Miner told detectives.

Miner’s murder trial heads into its second week Monday, when a forensic pathologist is scheduled to testify. Autopsy findings also could be presented.

Plainfield Township hoping community center is embraced

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Township officials are hoping residents can use the new Des Plaines Street Community Center for any large gathering when it is expected to open to the public in mid-November.

The new center at 15014 Des Plaines St. will host senior services and programming by the township and the Plainfield Township Park District, but it also will contain two large multi-purpose rooms for the public to use.

“We want residents to start thinking and planning about how they can use this facility when it opens,” Township Supervisor Tony Fremarek said.

“This is where we can have parties and baby showers.

Scout troops can have a place to meet.”

Along with the multipurpose rooms with storable chairs and tables, the facility will have some administrative office space for building operations and a small food preparation area. The building also has the flexibility to expand in case more space is needed in the future.

“The goal is to have this building be an alive and active part of the community,” Fremarek said.

“The goal is to have this building be an alive and active part of the community.”

Tony Fremarek Plainfield Township supervisor The building sits on the site of another building that was flooded out. It was meant to house the joint senior programming for the township and park district as the population of active seniors continues to grow in the future.

But Fremarek said the other goal was to give residents a community center, something that is lacking in the village.

“There aren’t a lot of places in Plainfield to have events,” he said. “Even homeowners associations have a difficult time finding a place for their meetings.

Fremarek said much of the work on the building’s physical structure is done. The interior still needs to be finished.

But once the center opens, the township will have a grand opening event and will give tours to the public.

The park district will provide the programming for seniors and other using the center.

Addiction support group starting Friday at BHS BOLINGBROOK – A support group for those affected by drug addiction is starting in Bolingbrook.

The area’s first HERO (Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization) Support Group will be meeting from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at Bolingbrook High School.

HERO was founded by two fathers who lost their sons to heroin addictions.

In the beginning, the new support group will include a mix of speakers and sessions where group and individual conversations take place. The group will include a certified alcohol and drug addiction counselor and a licensed psychologist provided by HERO. For those who are looking for information, rather than support, the group will also be working closely with Stepping Stones in Joliet.

Hanahan can be reached by emailing Kahanahan@comcast. net.

JOLIET – A local initiative to pass the Joliet Park District’s $19.5 million referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot has begun in earnest.

“Vote Yes Protect Our Parks” has started getting information out to the public about planned safety and security improvements at 21 local parks, as well as resurfacing of roads and trails at Pilcher Park; construction of an East Side recreation center and a multipurpose building at Inwood Park; and reforestation efforts.

“We started putting out yard signs and things like that this week to bring attention to the opportunity,” said Terry D’Arcy, a Joliet automobile dealer leading the initiative.

“Then we’re going to start speaking in front of churches and [to] homeowners groups to get the word out.”

D’Arcy said his last involvement on a referendum was in 2002, when local busi-

nesses and the Joliet Area Chamber of Commerce helped pass District 86’s $28 million referendum to build two new elementary schools and provide additions for two others.

“I feel as good about this one as I did about that one,” D’Arcy said. “It’s only about enhancing our community and making Joliet a better place to live.”

The district has emphasized funds would go toward capital improvements and not personnel, salaries or pensions. Also pulled from the referendum was a second sheet of ice at Inwood Park, a proposal that drew a lot of criticism when it initially was floated.

D’Arcy believes the park improvements eventually will translate into improved Joliet home values.

If the measure passes, residents would pay an additional $20.50 a year per $100,000 home value on the park district portion of their taxes.

Phone and mail surveys conducted earlier this year

BOLINGBROOK – Fountaindale Public Library is launching Passport to Success, an initiative designed to assist patrons in learning and exploring new technology.

This program is geared toward those who wish to learn basic technology skills, to communicate more effectively online, those looking for employment opportunities and those inter-

ested in earning a high school diploma.

The program begins Oct. 1 and the library’s goal is to have at least 600 individuals in the community participate. It’s funded by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Development and is supplemented with Clinton Global Initiative and Fountaindale Public Library District funds.

As part of this initiative,

the library will be offering 75 grant-funded high school diplomas through the accredited Career Online High School.

A completed Passport to Success packet will earn each participant a Certificate of Completion, a ticket toward a drawing for a brand new laptop and the opportunity to earn one of the diplomas while available.

Patrons can visit the library to pick up their passport packets.

A postcard Molony has showing the station is a relic from those early days. In the days before widespread telephone use, mail was the only way a commuter could tell family he had arrived safely at a destination.

Rail’s heyday continued until the late 1950s, when the burgeoning interstate system provided families with an alternative to train travel.

Train use declined even more in 1968, when the U.S. Postal Service stopped using trains for mail service.

But even as late as 1956, Union Station still offered train service around the clock to places such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Galveston, Kansas City, Omaha and St. Louis.

Driven mostly by streamlined stainless steel diesel locomotives, the trains were christened with names such as the Midnight Special, El Capitan, the Kansas City Chief, the Rocky Mountain Rocket and the Super Chief.

Passenger trains now make up only a small part of rail service. Freight, on the other hand, is booming, thanks to container shipping and collec-

James Traficant, convicted ex-congressman, dies

By MARK GILLISPIE The Associated Press CLEVELAND – James Traficant, the colorful Ohio politician whose conviction for taking bribes and kickbacks made him only the second person to be expelled from Congress since the Civil War, died Saturday. He was 73.

Traficant was seriously in-

jured Tuesday after a vintage tractor flipped over on him as he tried to park it inside a barn on the family farm near Youngstown. He died four days later in a Youngstown hospital, said Dave Betras, chairman of the Mahoning County Democratic Party.

The Democrat’s expulsion from Congress in 2002 came three months after a federal

jury in Cleveland convicted him. Prosecutors said he used his office to extract bribes from businesspeople and coerced staffers to work on his farm and his house boat on the Potomac River in Washington. He also was charged with witness tampering, destroying evidence and filing false tax returns. He spent seven years in prison.

Traficant’s notoriety was rivaled only by his eccentricity.

He loved to play the buffoon during his 17 years in Congress. He got plenty of notice within the staid, buttoned-down Capitol and airtime on C-SPAN for his messy mop of hair – revealed to be a wig when he went to prison – his typical wardrobe of cowboy boots, denim or polyester suits,

and his bombastic speaking style.

His made-for-TV rants on the House floor invariably ended with the signoff “Beam me up,” which Traficant borrowed from “Star Trek” to show his disgust or bemusement at whatever he found particularly outrageous.

“Mr. Traficant was a complex man,” Betras said.

Inurnment to follow at Woodlawn Memorial Park. A visitation will be held on Sunday, September 28, 2014, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at Tezak Funeral Home, 1211 Plainfield Rd., Joliet, IL 60435.

MEXICO CITY – Raul Alvarez Garin, a leader in the 1968 student uprising that culminated in the massacre of protesters in Mexico City, has died at age 73.

Alvarez Garin died Friday in the capital after a yearlong battle with cancer, according to a Facebook statement posted by the Committee of the ’68 Pro Democratic Liberties. He founded the group to demand punishment for those responsible for the massacre.

Alvarez Garin, a university professor, was one of the most recognized leaders of Mexico’s leftist student movement that was deflated when soldiers opened fire on protesters at Tlatelolco Plaza on Oct. 2, 1968.

An unknown number of people were killed.

After being imprisoned for nearly three years, Alvarez Garin continued to work for leftist causes and was a founder of the Democratic Revolution Party.

After sabotage, air travel system slowly recovers

CHICAGO – The nation’s air travel system slowly began to recover Saturday after an alleged act of employee sabotage at a large regional air traffic control center brought Chicago’s two international airports to a halt.

At the height of the travel misery Friday, more than 2,000 flights in and out of O’Hare and Midway airports had been canceled, sending waves of travel disruption rippling across the country.

Authorities say a contract employee started a fire Friday morning in the basement telecommunications room of a control center in the Chicago suburb of Aurora and then attempted to commit suicide by slashing his throat. Brian Howard, 36, of Naperville was charged with destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities, a felony. The FBI said Howard remains hospitalized and no court date has been scheduled.

As of late Saturday afternoon, total Chicago flight cancelations for the day stood at more than 780 – still a damagingly high number, but an improvement.

Southwest Airlines, the dominant carrier at Midway, had hoped to resume a full flight schedule Saturday, but had to cancel all flights between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Lines remained long at O’Hare, which is a major U.S. hub. Many travelers stranded overnight slept on cots provided by the airport, in scenes reminiscent of winter storm disruptions.

The Federal Aviation Administration facility in Aurora handles planes cruising at high altitudes through the air space as well as those just beginning to approach or completing a departure from

airports in the Chicago area. It remained shut down Saturday.

The widespread disruption left some aviation analysts, travelers and politicians calling for a smoother backup plan and wondering how one person could be in a position to wreak so much havoc.

Quinn, Rauner address Illinois millennials

CHICAGO – Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican Bruce Rauner each appealed to younger voters Saturday for help in winning the Illinois governor’s office, telling a crowd of about 1,500 that much is at stake for their

generation.

The candidates separately addressed what was billed as the first statewide convention for millennials, or Illinois residents ranging from the late teens to about 34. The gathering at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and several smaller events like it held throughout Illinois over the summer, were intended to increase political participation among the age group, which typically turns out to vote in midterm elections at lower rates.

Rauner told the crowd they are “the key” to Illinois’ future, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. He referenced his six kids, ages 16 to 30, and said he wants to get

Illinois’ economy going again by cutting income tax rates.

His speech was briefly interrupted when six attendees held up signs that read “Rauner’s policies are bad for IL” and some in the crowd cheered.

Quinn, who said he’ll be campaigning on a lot of college campuses as he seeks his second full term, reminded the audience he wants to raise Illinois’ minimum wage, from $8.25 to $10 per hour.

Cop: Man accused in wife’s death didn’t call 911

QUINCY – A former Illinois prosecutor recently charged with murder in the 2006 death of his first wife told investigators he never summoned emergency responders or tried to resuscitate her after he found her dead in bed when he returned from taking three of their children to school, transcripts of the coroner’s inquest at the time show.

The recount of a detective’s testimony during the proceedings was provided to The Associated Press and other media outlets through an open-records request, offering the first glimpse of Curtis Lovelace’s version of Cory Lovelace’s demise in the Mississippi River city of Quincy in Adams County.

The March 2006 inquest, five weeks after Lovelace said he found 38-year-old Cory Lovelace’s body on Valentine’s Day, failed to reach a conclusion about what caused the death, leaving the case open until Curtis Lovelace, 45, was indicted last month on first-degree murder charges.

‘Grain Tour’ brings foreign buyers to Illinois

SPRINGFIELD – Buyers from nine countries will travel to Illinois to shop for grain and grain-related products as part of what the Department of Agriculture is calling a “reverse trade mission.”

In a news release Friday, the department said the annual Grain Tour will begin Monday.

The five-day event will include stops at two farms, the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Archer Daniels Midland plant in Decatur.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Volcano erupts in Japan; 7 missing, 40 injured TOKYO – A volcano in central Japan erupted in spectacular fashion Saturday, catching mountain climbers by surprise and stranding at least 40 injured people in areas that rescue workers have been unable to reach. Another seven people were missing.

The injured, unable to descend 10,062-foot Mount Ontake on their own, are staying in mountain lodges, said Sohei Hanamura, a crisis management official in Nagano prefecture. Thirty-two people had serious injuries, including at least seven who lost consciousness.

Police, fire and military rescue workers were planning to try to reach the area on foot after daybreak Sunday, after deciding that the ash in the air made it too dangerous to use helicopters.

Hanamura said seven people were reported missing on the mountain.

Lodge managers are familiar with first aid procedures and were communicating with rescue officials in town, he said.

Iran’s president: No major progress at nuke talks UNITED NATIONS – Iran’s president Friday urged faster progress at nuclear talks between his country and six world powers, joining other top international officials who say the current round has failed to make substantial headway toward sealing a deal by

the Nov. 24 deadline.

Without mentioning the U.S. by name, Hassan Rouhani suggested agreement could end the more than three-decade deep-freeze in relations between Washington and Tehran and mark “the beginning of a path toward collaboration and cooperation.”

“There have been steps forward, but they haven’t been significant,” Rouhani said, arguing that his country had shown the necessary flexibility and that it now was up to the six nations to advance the talks.

13 escape youth center despite new security NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Security upgrades at a troubled youth detention center in Nashville were not enough to prevent 13 teenagers from escaping Friday, the second major breakout from the facility this month.

Tennessee Department of Children’s Services spokesman Rob Johnson said several teens overpowered a guard at the Woodland Hills Youth Development Center about 11 p.m. Friday.

They took the guard’s radio and keys and let themselves out of a dormitory. All but one were recaptured within hours.

The breakout was the latest in a series of problems that have alarmed authorities, including a mass breakout by 32 teens on Sept. 1. The state has since begun conducting a review of youth detention security in the state.

The parents of Michael Brown, Lesley McSpadden and Michael Brown Sr., speak to The Associated Press Saturday during an interview in Washington.

Browns unmoved by police chief’s apology

By JESSE J. HOLLAND The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The parents of Michael Brown said Saturday in an interview with The Associated Press they were unmoved by the apology of the Ferguson, Missouri, police chief gave weeks after their unarmed 18-yearold son was killed by a police officer.

Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, said, “yes,” when asked if Chief Tom Jackson should be fired, and his father, Michael Brown Sr., said rather than an apology, they would rather see officer Darren Wilson arrested for the death of their son on Aug. 9.

“An apology would be when Darren Wilson has handcuffs, processed and charged with murder,” Brown Sr. said.

The young man, who was black, was fatally shot last month by Wilson, who is

white.

The shooting sparked days of violent protests and racial unrest in the predominantly black community. Some residents and civil rights activists have said responding police officers were overly aggressive, noting their use of tear gas and surplus military vehicles and gear. Brown Sr. called the looting that has been interspersed with the protests “disrespectful,” but the “First Amendment protesting? They have that right.”

“There’s going to continue to be unrest until they do what should be done,” McSpadden added, referring to Ferguson officials.

Jackson released a video apology to Brown’s family and the community, in which he acknowledged that Brown’s body should have been removed from the street much sooner than it was. The young man’s remains lay uncovered for more than four hours

while police collected evidence.

“I don’t want words, I want action,” McSpadden said.

The parents, both wearing T-shirts with messages about their son, talked hesitantly about their emotions following their son’s death. McSpadden said she feels lost and helpless, and her life will never be normal again. “I have to find a new normal,” she said haltingly.

Brown’s parents are in the nation’s capital to meet with lawmakers and lobby Congress to pass a law requiring police officers to wear cameras during their interactions with the public. They also called on the Justice Department to take over the criminal investigation into the shooting. The Justice Department is already investigating whether Brown’s civil rights were violated, and a county grand jury is weighing whether to indict Wilson.

SYRIAN AIRSTRIKES

U.S. struggles to counter rebel anger

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, September 28, 2014

34

By BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press BEIRUT – The U.S. is struggling to counter anger among the Syrian opposition, where many believe that the air campaign against extremists in the country is only helping President Bashar Assad and that Washington is coordinating with Damascus, despite American insistence it backs the rebel cause.

Since the U.S.-led campaign of air raids and missile strikes in Syria began last Tuesday, American officials – many of them Arabic-speaking – have been making appearances on Arab TV stations, explaining U.S. goals. They repeatedly have denied any cooperation with the Syrian government and say Washington still seeks

Assad’s removal.

But the messaging seems to be making little headway.

The anger among the opposition over the air campaign points to a central difficulty in the U.S. strategy: The main aim of the international coalition it has assembled is to defeat the Islamic State group – which has taken over much of Syria and neighboring Iraq – but in Syria it is Assad’s government that is best placed to benefit from blows to the extremists.

Most Syrian rebel factions sharply oppose the Islamic State extremist group and have lost hundreds of fighters trying to prevent it from taking over territory. The Free Syrian Army, an umbrella group of relatively moderate rebel factions, has welcomed the air campaign.

But resentment is high among the opposition that, after ignoring their pleas for greater help against Assad for years, Washington finally took action only to counter radicals it sees as a danger to U.S. interests.

What particularly alarmed the Syrian opposition is that in the opening salvo of the assault, U.S. warplanes also hit positions of the Nusra Front, an al-Qaida affiliate that is also one of the strongest rebel factions battling Assad’s troops. U.S. officials say the strikes aimed to take out an al-Qaida cell that was a threat to the United States or Europe – but rebel factions saw an important ally being pounded by the Americans. Civilian deaths – around a dozen according to activists – have added to the anger.

In several opposition-held towns in the northern Syrian provinces of Aleppo and Idlib, protesters emerged from mosques after Friday prayers to denounce the strikes.

“The Nusra Front came to help us when the whole world abandoned us,” read one banner carried in the town of Maaret al-Numan, according to videos and photos of the protests posted online by activists. “America is shelling civilians and left the killer of civilians,” read a banner, referring to Assad, carried by a boy in the town of Maaret Musreen.

On Friday, the top U.S. military officer, Gen. Martin Dempsey, said the U.S. and its allies are taking every precaution to limit civilian casualties, but said some are inevitable.

Help wanted: Free lawyers for immigrant children

By AMY TAXIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Most of the nearly 60,000 Central American children who have arrived on the U.S.-Mexico border in the last year still don’t have lawyers to represent them in immigration court, and advocates are scrambling to train volunteer attorneys to help cope with the massive caseload.

With the number of unaccompanied immigrant children more than doubling this past fiscal year, the need for attorneys has surged, and it has been exacerbated by the immigration courts’ decision to fast-track children’s cases, holding initial hearings within a few weeks instead of months.

Immigrants can have counsel in immigration courts, but lawyers are not guaranteed or provided at government expense. Having an attorney can make a big difference: While almost half of children with attorneys were allowed to remain in the country, only 10 percent of those without representation were allowed to stay, according to an anal-

Efforts are underway from White Plains, New York, to New Orleans to train attorneys at private law firms on the country’s byzantine immigration laws and how to work with traumatized, Spanish-speaking children, many of whom are fleeing violence – a far cry from the corporate clients most deal with on a daily basis.

“We’re doing pretty well

on finding willing lawyers.

We’ve got to get them trained, we’ve got to get them matched to that child,” said Reid Trautz, director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association’s practice and professionalism center. “It just takes time.”

Last month, Vice President Joe Biden urged lawyers to increase efforts to take on the children’s cases. Since then, the cities of San Francisco and New York have each announced plans to allocate roughly $2 million to

help provide more lawyers for unaccompanied minors.

California has appropriated $3 million toward the effort.

About 800 immigration lawyers have signed up to volunteer on the cases, the immigration lawyers association said.

So have many other attorneys without any background in immigration law. They are being trained and paired with experienced immigration practitioners, who serve as mentors.

“We’ve had tax lawyers do this, corporate lawyers, real estate – anybody can do it,” said Ricardo Martinez-Cid, president of the Cuban American Bar Association, which started a program earlier this year to represent unaccompanied children in Miami.

Immigrant advocates say the efforts are working, but not as quickly as desired.

Nonprofit organizations have been boosting staff, but there aren’t enough experienced immigration lawyers to take on the cases or to mentor volunteers. Nor is there enough long-term funding for cases that can take more than a year to resolve, they said.

Texas college grieves after 4 killed in bus crash

By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN The Associated Press A North Texas community college brought in counselors to comfort grieving students Saturday and canceled athletic competitions after four women’s softball players were killed when an 18-wheel truck veered into oncoming traffic on a major interstate highway and crashed into the side of their team bus.

The collision near Davis, Oklahoma, late Friday badly damaged the driver’s side of the North Central Texas College team bus driven by a coach with 15 players aboard as they returned from a scrimmage against Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma.

In addition to the deaths, two team members remained in hospitals Saturday, one in critical condition. The other nine players were treated and released, along with the coach.

“This is the most traumatic event that NCTC has had in its 90 years of history,” College President Brent Wallace said at an emotional news conference Saturday in Gainesville, Texas.

The four players killed were identified by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol as Meagan Richardson, 19, Brooke Deckard, 20, Katelynn Woodlee, 18, and Jaiden Pelton, 20. The women all were from small towns near the campus.

Three of the players died at the scene and a fourth died at a hospital in nearby Sulphur, Oklahoma, Highway Patrol Capt. Ronnie Hampton said.

It was not clear why the northbound 18-wheel tractor-trailer lurched across the median into the southbound lanes. Police said they would investigate the accident as if it were a homicide.

Highway Patrol identified the driver as Russell Staley, 53, of Saginaw, Texas. He was treated in a hospital and released. Capt. George Brown, spokesman for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, said there were no charges pending Saturday against Staley.

New mosquito-borne virus spreads

2 dead in small plane collision in western N.Y. LANCASTER, N.Y. – Two people, including a child, were killed when two small planes collided in western New York on Saturday at an event to introduce children to aviation, officials said.

The crash killed the pilot of one plane and a boy who was a passenger, Lancaster Police Chief Gerald J. Gill Jr. told The Buffalo News. The Federal Aviation Authority said the planes collided about six miles east-southeast of Buffalo-Lancaster Regional Airport about 10:40 a.m.

The midair collision involved a Cessna 172 and a SeaRey amateur-built aircraft, the FAA said.

Authorities said the SeaRey landed safely in a field in Alden but the Cessna crashed in Lancaster.

Capt. Gregory Savage of the Erie County Sheriff’s Department said the pilot of the SeaRey and a 9-year-old girl walked away from that plane.

By BEN FOX and EZEQUIEL ABIU LOPE The Associated Press SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – An excruciating mosquito-borne illness that arrived less than a year ago in the Americas is raging across the region, leaping from the Caribbean to the Central and South American mainland, and infecting more than 1 million people. Some cases already have emerged in the United States.

While the disease, called chikungunya, usually is not fatal, the epidemic has overwhelmed hospitals, cut economic productivity and caused its sufferers days of pain and misery. And the count of victims is soaring.

In El Salvador, health officials report nearly 30,000 suspected cases, up from 2,300 at the beginning of August, and hospitals are filled with people with the telltale signs of the illness, including joint pain so severe it can be hard to walk.

“The pain is unbelievable,” said Catalino Castillo, a 39-year-old seeking treatment at a San Salvador hospital.

“It’s been 10 days and it won’t let up.”

Venezuelan officials reported at least 1,700 cases as of Friday, and the number is expected to rise. Neighboring Colombia has around 4,800 cases but the health ministry projects there will be nearly 700,000 by early 2015. Brazil has now recorded its first locally transmitted cases, which are distinct from those involving people who contracted the virus while traveling in an infected area.

Hardest hit has been the Dominican Republic, with half the cases reported in the Americas. According to the Pan American Health Organization, chikungunya has spread to at least two dozen countries and territories across the Western Hemisphere since the first case was registered in French St. Martin in late 2013.

There have been a few locally transmitted cases in the U.S., all in Florida, and it has the potential to spread farther, experts say, but Central and South America are partic-

The chief factors are the prevalence of the main vector for the virus, the aedes aegypti mosquito, and the lack of immunity in a population that hasn’t been hit with chikungunya in modern medical history, said Scott C. Weaver, director of the Institute for Human Infections and Immunity at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

“There are going to be some very large populations at risk down there, much larger than the Caribbean,” Weaver said.

Chikungunya is a word that comes from the Makonde language of Tanzania in eastern Africa and translates roughly as “that which bends up,” in reference to the severe arthritis-like ache in joints that causes sufferers to contort with pain. It’s usually accompanied by a spiking fever and headache. There have been only 113 deaths linked to the region’s outbreak, according to the most recent data, but chikungunya can be crippling.

Herman Slater, a 60-yearold gardener in Jamaica’s capital of Kingston, said he was laid out for almost two weeks this month with unimaginable joint pain, hammer-pounding headaches and fevers that came in waves.

“There are going to be some very large populations at risk down there, much larger than the Caribbean.”

Scott C. Weaver Director of the Institute for Human Infections and Immunity at the University of Texas Medical Branch “I tell you, I was surprised by how painful it was. It was taking me five minutes to get out of bed, and then I could hardly even walk,” Slater said. “My hands were so bad I couldn’t open a bottle, couldn’t comb my hair. Every night I was wet from sweat.”

In acute cases, pain can last for months. Joanna Rivas, who works as a maid in the Dominican capital of Santo Domingo, said she has had joint pain since May, and her 12-year-old daughter’s case is so severe the girl can’t hold her pen at school. Both have been taking the pain reliever acetaminophen, the main treatment for chikungunya, which has no cure or vaccine.

Besides the suffering, chikungunya has caused economic damage with the cost of providing treatment and controlling mosquitoes and

by absenteeism from work. A study by the Universidad Eugenio Maria de Hostos in the Dominican Republic found nearly 13 percent of businesses said they had people miss work because of chikungunya in June.

Authorities throughout the region have been spraying pesticide and encouraging people to remove water containers where mosquitoes can breed. Oxitec, a British company that has tested genetically modified aedys aegypti to combat dengue in Brazil, Cayman Islands and Panama, says it has received a surge of interest since the start of the outbreak.

Chikungunya, which has been known for decades in parts of Africa and Asia, is transmitted when a mosquito bites an infected person and then feeds on someone else. It may have found fertile ground in Latin America and the Caribbean because many people are outside in the daytime, when aedes aegypti bite, or lack adequate screens on their windows.

In an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Erin Staples of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said access to air conditioning to keep mosquitoes at bay might also be a factor.

PHOENIX – Jodi Arias’ guilt has been determined. The only thing that remains is whether she dies for killing her ex-boyfriend.

More than six years after his death, and more than a year after being convicted of murder, a second penalty phase to determine her punishment gets underway Monday with jury selection.

Arias acknowledged that she killed Travis Alexander in 2008 but claimed it was self-defense.

He suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, had his throat slit and was shot in the head. Prosecutors argued it was premeditated murder carried out in a jealous rage when Alexander wanted to end their affair.

The 34-year-old former waitress was found guilty last year, but jurors couldn’t agree on a sentence.

While Arias’ murder conviction stands, prosecutors are putting on the second penalty phase with a new jury in another effort to secure the death penalty.

If the jury fails to reach a unanimous decision, the judge will then sentence Arias to spend the rest of her life behind bars or to be eligible for release after 25 years.

Several factors holding down DuPont’s stock created unprecedented opportunity for DuPont. It became the world’s largest dynamite producer and researched new uses for the raw materials of explosives, specifically for the production of paints, lacquers and textiles.

During World War II, DuPont launched its involvement in atomic explosives, building a full-scale plutonium plant for atomic weapons in Washington state. And then DuPont began to expand in earnest.

Today this $37 billion-revenue science and technology company has seven divisions: 1) Electronics & Communications: photopolymers and photovoltaics.

2) Industrial Biosciences: Dear JN: In 1802, when vatsful of enzymes.

Thomas Jefferson was 3) Nutrition & Health: president, Eleuthere Irenee emulsifiers, gums, soy-based du Pont broke ground in food ingredients, sweeteners.

5) Performance Materials: Antoine Lavoisier. Between engineering polymers, elasto1802 and 1880, black powder mers, film, packaging, chemiwas Ele’s sole product, and cal processing, electronics.

Dear Mr. Berko: In 1996, my father passed away, and one of the three stocks I inherited was E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. At that time, my 110 shares were selling between $70 and $90. I also got two Fidelity mutual funds, which have done well, but DuPont stock does nothing. What’s wrong with this company? I know it’s in chemicals, but I never see the name on any products. What does it make?

I am now 66 and need help on what to do with this stock.

Should I sell it and put the money in the two Fidelity mutual funds?

– JN, Springfield

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko solid surfaces for various industries.

7) Pharmaceuticals: propellants, rare sugars, antihypertensive drugs and nutraceuticals.

DuPont (DD-$71.25) has morphed into a multibillion-dollar-revenue conglomerate with a complementary variety of products in its marketing bag. But with this pastiche of product and a 212-year history, the company is cursed with dispassionate, inutile and low-IQ leadership, which manages DuPont while in a perpetual state of ennui. And the stock’s dreary performance (it’s the same price today as it was when you inherited it in 1996) certainly matches management’s capability. Since 1996, as the number of outstanding shares has been reduced by 75 percent, dividend growth has been achingly feeble, and capital spending has declined. Return on capital and shareholder equity have

barely budged. Yes, revenues have grown 2.7 percent annually, and comparative share earnings have grown 1.6 percent annually. But several evil yetis and golems seem to be holding DuPont stock price down. Something has been hugely wrong with this company for several generations. And many might agree, because with the exception of a strong buy recommendation by Oppenheimer in 2009, I can’t find any excitement about it on Wall Street. Certainly, few of DuPont’s 64,000 employees are delighted with their stock option program.

But things are happening that may be good. Nelson “Nellie” Peltz, among the most vainglorious financial privateers who only sail troubled waters, has guns aimed at DuPont. Though his Trian Fund Management owns 3 percent of the stock, he proclaims that DuPont’s “conglomerate structure is destroying shareholder value.” Nellie – who wants DuPont to divest into smaller, independently managed companies – has participated in a series of reluctant discussions with CEO Ellen Kull-

man. And this may be productive. DuPont’s board recently authorized a $5 billion share repurchase program and announced steps to streamline its overweening, bungling bureaucracy. The board plans to implement sundry cost-cutting measures and will spin off its low-performing, volatile Performance Chemical division. As a result, Deutsche Bank recently suggested that DuPont should be valued at $85. But Nellie wants more and believes a breakup could double the current share price. Of course, the process of divestiture and cost savings measures might force 6,500 employees from their jobs. Though corporate raiders such as Peltz, Carl Icahn, Dan Loeb, Bill Ackman and David Einhorn will greatly improve the price of a stock – making billions in the game – they’ve also been responsible for the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs. Keep DuPont for another year.

The HERALD-NEWS Nicor Gas is taking its natural gas safety program to fire stations in 61 communities throughout its northern Illinois service territory during October.

The program, now in its ninth year and held in conjunction with National Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 5 to 11), will run through Oct. 30, according to a news release from Nicor. The public will have the opportunity to learn important information that can help protect them and their families in the case of a fire.

“This program is an incredible learning opportunity for the communities we serve,” Nicor Gas President Beth Reese said in the news release. “By teaming up with local fire departments, we are able to educate the public about natural gas safety and fire prevention. The safety of our customers and the general

public is our No. 1 priority, and this program provides valuable learning tools that could save lives.”

Hands-on activities at the events will include an interactive safety video and game that teaches children about natural gas, its origin, use and safety tips.

Hands-on lessons include a Scratch ‘n Sniff activity that will help parents and children identify a possible gas leak, according to the news release.

Local departments that will host one of these events include: • 1 to 4 p.m. Oct. 4, East Joliet Fire Protection District, 911 Briggs St., Joliet; • 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 4, Lemont Fire Protection, 15900 New Ave., Lemont; • 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 4, Orland Park Fire Protection, 10728 W. 163rd Place, Orland Park; and • 8 a.m. to noon, Oct. 5, Mokena Fire Protection District, 19853 S.

39 The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, September 28, 2014

The Herald-News Editorial Board Bob Wall, Denise Baran-Unland, Hannah Kohut, Bob Okon and Kate Schott

OUR VIEW

Get involved politically Election season began Tuesday.

Not for the upcoming November election, although you should be paying close attention to that one, too.

County offices are on that ballot, as are statewide and congressional seats.

But for this editorial’s purposes, we’re talking about the April 2015 election.

Candidates for all local governmental bodies, as of Tuesday, could begin collecting signatures for candidacy in the April 2015 election.

These are offices like school board, city or village boards, and township offices. These are the elections you need to pay attention to the most. They matter more than any state or national election.

Better yet, if you feel like you can do more, run for a local office.

Don’t believe us on the importance of these April elections? School districts get the largest share of your property taxes; you should care who sits on your district’s board. City and village councils control the budgets for the fire, police and public works departments that provide vital services. People tend to have more interest in voting in presidential elections, but fact is, local offices have the potential to impact your life more than a president ever could.

Generally, those who run for a position must be a registered voter in the municipality and have been a resident of the area for at least a year. For information on the election process, visit www.elections.il.gov or check with the local governmental unit.

People can file their completed petitions from Dec. 15 until Dec. 22, which is the official deadline for all local offices. Those are important dates because elected races need competition to raise awareness of local issues. The dearth of interested participants in civic activities is troubling, and it needs to change.

April’s election is as good as any to start. Participate. Get involved. Stay interested.

Your community deserves it.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Reforming our party system John Heaney was a political reporter for United Press when he was allowed to accompany the governor of Oklahoma, Raymond Gary, to a meeting with President Harry Truman. After small talk, Truman asked Gary if he remembered when Truman’s campaign train had made a prolonged stop in Oklahoma City.

Gary did recall it. Did the governor know why the train stayed in the city so long? Truman asked. No, came the reply. Reporter Heaney, years later, repeated what Truman said next.

“We ran out of money, and we didn’t have enough to get the train out of the station,” Truman said. “I had to get on the phone and raise the money to get us out of there.”

Truman’s story has been corroborated many times by others present when the train engineer, on orders

VIEWS Donna Brazile from headquarters, refused to budge until Truman, so to speak, ponied up money the campaign already owed, and enough for the rest of the trip.

That story is legend in Democratic circles. It came to mind this week when “PBS Newshour” reported the latest campaign expenditures for this 2014 congressional election.

With a little over a month to go, the “$228 million [and climbing] spent by outside interest groups is not only the most ever spent in a midterm, but it’s also more spent in any election except the 2012 presidential election.”

By “outside money” we’re talking

about secret contributors who pour millions upon millions into congressional districts and states in their bid to influence a congressman or senator by such heavy indebtedness.

We can thank the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United that allows unlimited money to be spent by unions and corporations (businesses doing the better part).

The Center for Responsive Politics compiled Federal Election Commission reports of campaign contributions. The contrast between before and after the Citizens United decision is staggering. Only $34 million was spent by outside spending groups on the 2000 election, when I helped manage former Vice President Al Gore’s campaign. More than that is spent now in many individual states.

See BRAZILE, page 40

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.

By the 2004 presidential election, $64 million was spent; $144 million was spent in 2008.

Then came Citizens United in 2010, and the floodgates opened: $206 million was spent in an off-year election. This last presidential election, in 2012, busted all records. More than $1 billion flowed into campaign coffers from contributors, most of whom managed to remain anonymous.

But – are you sitting down?

– we are, as of this writing, $36 million past 2010’s off-year elections. Big, outside money is eager to buy a Senate and House that most people would argue don’t come close to earning their keep.

Of course, I’d argue if you don’t want obstruction, those seeking to move away from the political gridlock will not have much success. The cost per voter is astronomical when we consider many are so discouraged, or turned off, that we will likely once more have a Congress elected by the smallest percentage of citizens ever.

We need comprehensive electoral reform. I truly am baffled about how we got here when campaign finance reform is a little over 40 years old. In 1972, Sen. George McGovern became the first candidate, ever, to disclose his contributors and to limit campaign contributions.

That grew out of McGovern’s prairie populism, but

party, but you have to be politically tone-deaf not to see what’s happening across America.

Outside groups are dropping big money to show garbage on the airwaves. In Georgia, the secretary of state is launching a politically motivated investigation into a group registering new voters that may have a chilling effect on its voter registration efforts. In Wisconsin, a substantial change in voter ID requirements is estimated to disenfranchise roughly 9 percent of Wisconsin’s voters.

We have the power to change the rigging of the political game – no matter which side of the divide you’re on, or simply sitting in the middle as an independent voter.

We’ve got our work cut out for us; the politicians and their deep-pocketed donors and sugar daddies are way ahead.

it was evident that it was necessary in the unraveling corruption of Watergate from 1972 to 1974. It isn’t discussed much, but Watergate involved extortion and bribery from campaign contributors.

International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT) had an antitrust case against it pending in the Department of Justice, headed by Nixon’s former law partner John Mitchell. A $400,000 contribution was made to the Nixon campaign, and ITT’s case melted away.

The dairy industry wanted Nixon to support higher government milk subsidies. It had to pay a bit more, some $2 million, but it got government tax dollars many times more than what they slipped under Nixon’s table.

PBS says three of the top four states where the most secret money is being poured – North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado – “are the states that make up the Democratic ‘firewall.’ Democrats believe if they hold those three, they hold the Senate.” I am sure Kansas will soon join the ranks, as another competitive race is brewing there.

It’s clear to me that the extraordinary amount of money being spent, along with the electoral rigging of our congressional districts, will produce more gridlock, hyper-partisanship and obstruction. Just take a look online in your state and you’ll definitely see the trends.

There’s no question this issue is bigger than just one

NO. 13 SAINT XAVIER 28, NO. 12 ST. FRANCIS 13

First defeat of season for Saints USF could not capitalize on its 4 turnovers

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

C

HICAGO – If you’d have told University of St. Francis football coach Joe Curry beforehand that his team would force four turnovers against Saint Xavier in a clash of ranked NAIA squads, he’d certainly have liked his chances.

But while that very scenario unfolded for the No. 12 Fighting Saints against the No. 13 Cougars on Saturday at Deaton Field, USF wound up losing the game by two touchdowns.

Saint Xavier rallied from a 10-7 third-quarter deficit by outscoring St. Francis, 21-3, during the final 20 minutes to capture a 28-13 nonconference victory on its homecoming.

The Saints (3-1) were trying to do something that they had only accomplished in 2008, which was to open a season with four straight wins and also defeat the Cougars (3-1).

“I just felt like we didn’t capitalize on turnovers today,” Curry said. “When you get four turnovers and only put 13 points on the board, that’s the story of the day. We can come back and beat some of the lower-echelon teams in the NAIA by doing that, but we can’t beat the good teams by putting up that point total.

“Even though our defense gave up some big plays at the end, they battled and kept on giving us a chance. We didn’t produce anything on offense or on special teams. I can’t expect our defense to keep on coming up with big plays against a high-potent offense.

But we’re in a better position than we were last year and have learned some valuable lessons.”

Things were looking up for USF after Jordan Patsch kicked a 40-yard field goal with 10:18 left in the third quarter to grab a 10-7 advan-

tage.

But the Cougars moved ahead for good at 14-10 with 4:38 left in the third when John Rhode (13 of 32 passing, 232 yards, 2 touchdowns, 4 interceptions) tossed a 53-yard scoring pass to Randall Wells, who made a one-handed grab on the play.

Saint Xavier made it 21-10 on the first play of the final

quarter when Rhode scored on a 3-yard keeper to the left side.

Quarterback Trace Wanless (10 of 23 for 90 yards passing, 25 carries, 158 yards rushing) took one hit too many and exited the game with 11:02 left after an apparent shoulder injury. Mitch Brozovich, who had seen earlier action, played quarterback the rest of the way.

After Patsch connected from 37 yards to pull USF to within 21-13 with 10:46 to go, the Cougars concluded the scoring with another big play when Rhode threw a 66-yard strike to Stephen Simms with 6:58 remaining.

Saint Xavier took a 7-0 lead just 5:28 into the contest on a 1-yard run by Mark Strbjak, but the Fighting Saints tied it with 6:56 left in the opening half when Wanless threw a 30yard pass that Troy Torrence (6 catches, 98 yards) hauled in for his 17th career touchdown.

Leading the Fighting Saints in tackles were Brett Ditchman and Ken Mason with 10 apiece while Jamal Graham added nine stops. Jesse Hogan got his 10th and 11th career interceptions while Mikail Davis also picked off a pair of passes.

SXU, which had three interceptions, was led in tackles

by Nick Cemeno (14), Doug Ruggles (9), Greg Hayward (9),

Alex Walters (9) Dan Fitzgerald (8) and Danny Lombardo (7).

The Cougars own a 14-1 advantage against St. Francis, including six straight wins.

Mike Feminis, SXU’s coach throughout the series, was one of the Saints’ all-time greats and later coached for them, as did many of his assistants.

“I’m always relieved when this one’s over,” Feminis said.

“This is such an emotional game for me and for a lot of us on my staff. We have such a history and some of my best friends are there and I love the people there but you have to forget about that for 60 minutes.

“Our defense has played really well all year and it was outstanding again and they kept us in the game. We had some chances in the first half, but we missed some big plays.

So for us to get things going, to give our defense a little bit of a break, was good to see.”

BOLINGBROOK 50, JOLIET WEST 14

Bolingbrook gets 4 TDs in quick succession

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, September 28, 2014

JOLIET – Coming off last week’s huge win at Sandburg, Joliet West hung tough with Bolingbrook for a half in Saturday afternoon’s SouthWest Suburban Blue clash at Klootwyk Field.

The third quarter, however, was an entirely different matter.

After leading 16-7 at the break, Bolingbrook scored four quick touchdowns in the third quarter en route to a 5014 victory. The Raiders (4-1, 3-0) got excellent field position by various means and took advantage time after time.

Quincy Woods’ 46-yard kickoff return to the West 43yard line set up a score. Bryce Herring’s interception and Armanti McNulty’s fumble recovery after Micah Dew-Treadway appeared to punch the ball out, ala Peanut Tillman, led to two more touchdowns.

Finally, an 86-yard pass from Adam Klein to Nehemiah Armstrong to the West 3 set up another score.

“They pounded us in the third quarter,” West coach Jason Aubry said. “Our defense got tired. It was a warm day.

And look at their stinkin’ players. They are huge.

“When you’re on the field a lot and they line up in the double-tight and full-house backfield and keep pounding it like they did, it’s mentally and physically taxing. It drains you, and then add to that the fact we gave them the short field.”

The Raiders finished with 349 rushing yards and 468 total. Jacob Huff, known for his work at safety and one of the Raiders’ many options at tailback, picked up 108 yards in eight carries and scored twice.

His 43-yard run, which included breaking a couple of tackles, made it 23-7 early in the third quarter and ignited the onslaught.

Bolingbrook's Quincy Woods drives in for a touchdown and drags Joliet West's Jeffery Washington (left) and Noah Dillion (right) with him Saturday in Joliet. Bolingbrook won, 50-14.

“Our defense got tired. It was a warm day. And look at their stinkin’ players. They are huge. When you’re on the field a lot and they line up in the double-tight and full-house backfield and keep pounding it like they did, it’s mentally and physically taxing.”

Jason Aubry, Joliet West coach You would not have guessed it was coming from what transpired in the first half.

“I guess it was that a bunch of guys went over to watch the Lincoln-Way East vs. H-F game [Friday night],” Huff said. “We didn’t get home until about 12 at night, and we came out here a little flat. That’s going to happen in the heat, anyway. There was some unpreparedness on our part.”

Huff, though, helped loosen things up after the break.

“They threw me out there today to run the ball, and I think that’s going OK,” he

said. “Personally, for my football, I want to start being more aggressive on defense. I’m definitely working to turn that around.

“I have to reflect on what my brother [linebacker Julian Huff] is doing. He’s being a leader and I’ve got to mirror him more.”

Indeed, Julian Huff had an aggressive, hard-hitting game defensively and also scored twice on short runs.

Isaac Lane contributed 82 rushing yards in 13 carries for Bolingbrook, which had 13 ball carriers before it was over.

“The last few games we’re been running consistently well,” Raiders coach John Ivlow said. “We did today, but West hung in there. Their defense was tough.”

Quarterback Alex Dibble had a mixed bag of a day for West (3-2, 1-2). He hit 8 of 16 passes for 91 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to Evan French off a scramble to bring the Tigers within 10-7 with 7:57 left in the second quarter. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble in the nightmarish third quarter.

“Other than that one pass play [West’s touchdown], our defense did a nice job,” Ivlow said. “I’m very happy with the way our defense played against an offense like that, the way they spread it out.”

For the 2½ quarters that West had its regular skill players on the field, the Tigers were limited to a net of 3 yards rushing. They finished with 78.

JOLIET CATHOLIC 31, MARIAN CENTRAL 21

JCA runs past Marian Central

By JOEY KAUFMAN jkaufman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – It wasn’t a promising start for Joliet Catholic.

On the Hilltoppers’ first play from scrimmage Friday night at Marian Central, they fumbled. They handed the ball to the Hurricanes in their own territory, barely more than 30 yards from the end zone.

But it was an inspiring finish.

The defense kept the Hurricanes from scoring on that drive, and off the scoreboard for much of the game. In the end, Joliet Catholic left with a 31-21 victory, its fourth straight since falling to Providence in the season opener.

“For us, for our defense to hold on and play as well as they did early, they kept us in the game until we made our adjustments,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said. “That is an outstanding football team and we are so fortunate.”

For JCA (4-1, 3-0 in the East Suburban Catholic Conference), its defense certainly kept it alive. It shut out Marian Central (3-2, 1-2) for the first three quarters, and held the

Coming in, the Hurricanes, behind Miami (Ohio)-bound quarterback Billy Bahl, were averaging 33 points and had put up 35 in the week before against Nazareth.

Neither offense got going in the first half until JCA junior running back Michael Johnson broke a 30-yard touchdown run down the sidelines. At halftime, the Hilltoppers led, 10-0.

Later in the second half, senior running back Nick Borgra

reeled off another touchdown run in the fourth quarter – this one from 10 yards out – to put the Hilltoppers up by three scores, 17-0.

Johnson totaled 201 yards on the ground, while Borgra added 150. Borgra also had three catches for 69 yards. As

a team, JCA ran for 375 yards.

“That’s kind of our forte,” Sharp said. “We like to run the ball, and the nice thing is we’re not giving it to one guy all the time. We can go right, left, right left, go to the fullback sometimes, a little play-action.”

Marian Central finally got on the scoreboard a couple minutes into the fourth quarter when Jarryd Cabusao rushed in from 6 yards. Cabusao had caught a 48-yard screen pass earlier on the drive.

The Hurricanes had a chance to bring it even closer. Down 17-7, they brought the ball to the 3-yard line. But in three plays, they managed 2 yards. On fourth-and-goal, they were stuffed.

Two players later, Johnson broke a 96-yard touchdown run to put the game out of reach with three minutes remaining.

In the fourth quarter, the Hilltoppers tallied three touchdowns.

“We were able to start mixing it up,” Sharp said. “We got a little rhythm. Once we got comfortable with what they were doing, we executed extremely well.”

SANDBURG 34, JOLIET CENTRAL 20

Steelmen put up good fight in homecoming loss

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Midway through the second quarter Saturday of what would become a 34-20 loss for Joliet Central, the home crowd still had an upbeat feeling that was more than the usual buzz from homecoming.

Not only did the Steelmen have a 6-0 lead, the score came on a thrilling 73-yard return of a backfield interception by lineman Jake Klima in the first quarter.

While teammates James Budrick and Anthony Gooch were all over Sandburg quarterback Avery Verbleas as he tried to make a play, Klima stole the ball on a shovel at-

tempt.

“My teammates did a good job pursuing the quarterback,” Klima said. “I’m right there, backing ’em up. He threw the ball and I got the pick, going down the field.”

“It was a great play, a lot of fun to watch,” Central coach Brett Boyter said. “Coach [Kyle] Knezetich had a dream that Klima was going to pick up a fumble for the first score.

I said ‘We’ve got to put you to bed early now so you have multiple dreams.’ ” The good vibe faded in the second quarter when Sandburg scored 17 points in less than two minutes, including one touchdown on an interception return.

A 24-6 halftime deficit that became 31-6 early in the third quarter turned into a SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue loss for the Steelmen.

“We’ve got to get our offense to realize that just executing little things, they can have a lot of success,” Boyter said. “The defense is there.”

One example of that came late in the first quarter. A roughing the kicker penalty was called on Central (0-5, 0-3) when Sandburg’s Jonathan Milazzo kicked a 23-yard field goal.

The Eagles decided to take the penalty and go for the touchdown on fourth down from the Steelmen 2-yard line.

But Gooch, Matt Key and

Steven Brown-Washington combined to make the goalline stand and maintain the 6-0 lead.

“Our defense played their guts out,” Boyter said.

Milazzo’s 40-yard field goal cut Central’s lead to 6-3 with 5:15 to go in the first half. Two plays later, Sandburg’s Graham Hevel returned an interception 22 yards for a touchdown.

On the next play from scrimmage, Sandburg recovered a fumble on the Steelmen 14 and scored from a yard out for a 17-6 lead. Sandburg benefited from a short field to add another 1-yard touchdown run 34 seconds before halftime.

Central freshman quarter-

back Zach Wisneski was 10 of 20 for 145 yards, including a 32-yard scoring pass to Josh Morris that closed the gap to 31-12 near the end of the third quarter. Wisneski only had one completion in his first 10 passes.

“With Zach being a freshman, maybe we put too much on his plate,” Boyter said. “The last couple drives, we just ran stuff he’s run since summer and he’s executing it.”

Despite the deficit, Klima, Budrick, Key and Brandon Nicastro all had tackles for losses in the second half.

“We felt like this game wasn’t over,” Klima said.

“Keep playing hard and compete. We fought hard.”

Plainfield North’s Quintin Hoosman looks downfield for some running room against Plainfield East on Friday. on (25 rushes, 154 yards) went 4 yards over the left side. But Andrew Franzen, a senior making his first start, blocked the extra point.

“We worked so hard this past week after a tough loss and we knew that we could win this game,” Hoosman said.

“Most teams would have been crushed but we weren’t and we got better each day since this is our biggest rivalry game of the year. My line did an incredible job, especially on the drive where we started at the

12 and took it all the way.”

The Tigers relied on Hoosman after the break, as he rushed on 33 of the team’s 36 plays. Behind the line play of Cody Conway, Jack Kramer, Mitch Dodd, Nick Wolf, Bret Johnson and AJ Wachs, he gained 209 of his yards in the final half.

“Last week was a hard loss and playing against a 4-0 team a lot of people said that we had no chance of winning,” Conway said. “We proved our point that we’re a really good

football team and that we can win games. We know that if our line is blocking well and ‘Q’ is having a hard time being tackled, we are going to get some good yards on offense.”

Franzen’s fumble recovery at his 12 set up an 11-play drive which was capped by a 2-yard keeper by JD Ekowa that tied things at 14-14 with 1:29 left in the third quarter.

North moved ahead, 20-14, with 8:31 remaining in regulation when Hoosman went over the right side from 3 yards out.

LINCOLN-WAY WEST 42, ANDREW 21

Strong second half lifts Warriors over Andrew LWW also earns state playoff berth

By LARRY LINDHOLM Shaw Media Correspondent TINLEY PARK – Gabe Montalvo ran 72 yards on the first play from scrimmage of the second half to break a 21-21 tie and send Lincoln-Way West on to a 42-21 SouthWest Suburban Red victory Friday night over Andrew.

Kurtis Flonder followed Montalvo’s lead. He went 80 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the Warriors’ next possession to make it 35-21.

West added an insurance score on Connor Lohman’s 10-yard pass to Montalvo in the fourth quarter.

The result is another trip to the state playoffs. The Warriors (5-0, 3-0) will have enough playoff points (opponent victories) to qualify with five wins.

However, they have their sights set higher.

“This team believes in themselves and in their teammates,” West coach Dave Ernst said. “They do not get rattled if they are down or tied. This is probably one of the best groups that I have coached. They have reached their goal of getting into the playoffs. Now they are going for their second goal.”

Montalvo finished with 175 yards on 17 carries. Flonder chipped in with 93 yards.

“There’s no quit in him,” Ernst said of Montalvo. “He brings his wrestling mentality

to the field and goes and goes.”

Things did not start out well for the Warriors. Receiver Nate Pania’s 85-yard scoring play was wiped out because of a penalty. However, West did move the ball down the field and scored on a Nick Borrelli touchdown pass.

West went up 14-0 as Lowman hit Joe Shirley with a 32yard touchdown pass. Andrew, which was celebrating homecoming, got off the deck and tied the score, 14-14. West went back ahead, 21-14, on Low-

man’s 3-yard touchdown run, but Andrew drove 80 yards to make it 21-21 at halftime.

Penalties cost the Warriors in the first half.

“This is an area that we have to clean up,” Ernst said.

“I will take the blame on one penalty because we were not lined up properly and an illegal block was called. We also have to know when to block and when not to block. We will work on that in practice.”

The West sophomores won, 20-7, on two late scores.

PLAINFIELD – After dropping a heartbreaker in overtime to Plainfield South a week ago, Plainfield North needed to bounce back on Friday against its unbeaten rival, Plainfield East.

Trailing 14-7 at halftime, the host Tigers relied on the hard running of Quintin Hoosman, great line play and a nice defensive effort to beat the Bengals, 27-26, in overtime in a Southwest Prairie Conference clash for 119th Street bragging rights.

“Last week was obviously very discouraging,” Tigers coach Tim Kane said.

“We kept telling them that it doesn’t matter what their record is, you have to believe.

We played good football and that was a good team that we beat so hopefully this helps our kids. Our offensive line did great and obviously Hoosman really ran well. The kid takes a beating but just keeps running and running. I’m really proud of him.”

Hoosman, who finished with 280 yards on 43 carries, picked up his last 2 yards on a plunge over the left side to force a 26-26 tie. Jerrick Jozwiak drilled the extra point for North (3-2, 2-1) to end things.

East (4-1, 2-1) scored first in overtime when Jake May-

But a bad snap doomed the conversion try.

East responded with a fiveplay, 80-yard drive which featured a 39-yard run by Mayon and was capped by a 25-yard pass from Cole Kotopka (10 for 19 passing, 179 yards) to Brandon Rivera. However, the extra point kick failed.

“After a big loss to South we responded in a big way and it’s a great feeling to start for my team for the first time and to come up in big ways to help our team win the game,” Franzen said. “Beating a team that is 4-0 is huge for us and the sky is the limit right now.”

The Tigers struck first when Ekowa went 20 yards on a keeper 1:10 into the second quarter.

East answered with 5:33 left in the half when Kotopka tossed a 14-yard pass on fourth down to Feras Hleihel.

The Bengals quickly capi t a l i ze d o n t h e i r s e c o n d straight fumble recovery when Kotopka tossed a 50-yard strike to Wynston Wright, who bounced off a tackler to score with 2:12 left before the break.

“We’ve been trying to get better off of wins but maybe this is a wakeup call that what we’re telling them that they need to do will sink in,” Bengals coach Mike Romeli said.

“North is a good football team but we have a lot of work to do to go to where we need to go.”

Defense rules as Indians top Wildcats

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, September 28, 2014

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Plainfield Central coach John Jackson says he has kids playing at an all-conference level on defense.

Yet, the Wildcats continue to search for that elusive first victory.

They took their best shot Friday night but came up short in a 16-12 Southwest Prairie Conference loss at Minooka. So, yes, the postgame fireworks orchestrated as part of the Indians’ homecoming gala also helped celebrate a hard-fought victory in a game where both sides had to overcome pregame injury issues.

“I thought they might be a little hungover from their tough loss last week [to Romeoville], but they were stout defensively,” Minooka coach Paul Forsythe said of Central.

“Our defense played outstanding, too. They were the reason we had a chance to win.”

Minooka (3-2, 2-1) was finding the going tough enough offensively that Forsythe said the Indians had to turn to their horse, standout tailback Nate Gunn. He carried 40 times for 207 yards and a touchdown on a 5-yard run that gave Minooka a 16-6 lead with 3:31 left.

“We needed our [skill players] to make plays, and they didn’t do it,” Forsythe said.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Minooka’s Nate Gunn is tackled by Plainfield Central’s Jake Johnson and Derik Blidy during the first half of a game Friday at Minooka Community High School.

“And I don’t want to take anything away from [Central’s] defense. We knew they would be tough. But we have to do some other things better.”

“My defense did a man’s work tonight,” Jackson said.

“I’m proud of them.”

In one series in the third quarter, Central lineman Billy Dodge recorded two sacks for huge losses, creating a fourthand-41 situation for Minooka after the Indians had marched

to a first down at the Wildcats’ 20.

After Gunn’s late touchdown run, Central’s Matt Gurke caught his second long touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Marucs Hayes, a 47-yarder, to get the Wildcats (0-5, 0-3) within 16-12 with 2:47 left.

Hayes and Gurke hooked up on a 64-yard scoring strike early in the second quarter for a 6-0 lead that was erased just

before halftime when Minooka sophomore John Carnagio threw a 63-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Adams to give the Indians a 7-6 lead. Adams outfought cornerback Issiah Dunson for the ball, then took it all the way after Dunson fell.

Gurke, the Wildcats’ starting quarterback early in the season, caught five passes for 141 yards.

“I was pleased to see Matt Gurke do what he did,” Jack-

son said. “He is a heck of a kid.

He could have pouted when we put [Hayes] in there. But he said, ‘I’ll back him up. You want me to try helping at wide receiver?’ Then he comes out and catches two TDs.” Otherwise, though, the combination of Gunn’s running – he carried 24 times for 132 yards in the second half alone – and Minooka’s defense kept Hayes and the Central offense on the sidelines. Junior defensive end Blake Parzych was a huge reason, along with linebacker Carson Oughton and lineman Brad Daniel.

“Their quarterback [Hayes] is a track star, and we were preparing for him all week,” said Parzych, who had 1½ sacks, two tackles for loss and more than his share of hurries and hard hits. “I had to worry about containment, stay outside and let other guys on the inside do their job.

“We had to have our defense step up and it did. We had to get stops. We held them to no more than two touchdowns, which is always good.

I’m proud of our defense.”

In the sophomore game, Minooka’s Drew Turek broke a 14-14 tie with a 41-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and Jonny Butler threw a two-point conversion pass to Matt Dvorak for a 22-14 victory.

PLAINFIELD SOUTH 13, OSWEGO EAST 12

Lentini leads Cougars to homecoming victory

By KEVIN RYAN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – For a team that started 0-3, things are looking a little different for Plainfield South after it escaped with a 13-12 homecoming victory Friday over Oswego East in a Southwest Prairie Conference game.

The win didn’t come easy, though, as South (2-3, 2-1) found itself down 6-0 early when East quarterback Corey Kennedy scored on a 2-yard run.

The teams exchanged punts throughout the rest of the first

half as the Cougars’ offense stumbled.

“We struggled,” South coach Ken Bublitz said. “We couldn’t get anything going and we couldn’t get any execution by our skill players and by our line.”

But in the second half, the Cougars made adjustments and finally found a couple of holes in the Wolves’ defense.

On its second drive of that half, South drove 78 yards and senior quarterback Braden Lentini (9 of 19 passing, 46 yards) found the end zone on a 14-yard run to give the Cou-

gars a 7-6 lead.

“He’s a gamer,” Bublitz said. “He works hard at his game and he brings a lot to the table and a lot of leadership.”

On the next drive, East’s offense responded by putting a drive of its own together and getting a little help from the Cougars.

On three straight plays, South gave up 45 yards in penalties and the Wolves (1-4, 0-3) were on the verge of scoring, but South’s defense came up big in one of many stops to force the Wolves to punt.

The Cougars’ offense then

put a long drive together, killing a chunk of time off the clock. Although Lentini and the offense couldn’t get to the end zone, the drive was somewhat of a success as they gave the ball back to the Wolves with 4:35 left.

A few plays after the Cougars got the ball back with 3:16 left, Lentini scored again on a 31-yard run to put South up 136. The extra point was no good.

“I really felt like the team needed me to put the game on my back,” Lentini said. “I just played my heart out and did what I could. I don’t even care

about my success, I just care about the team’s success.”

With one last try, the Wolves made it interesting by driving 60 yards and scoring on a 3-yard run by running back Khalil Driver. East went for the two-point conversion, but the pass fell incomplete as the Cougars sealed the victory.

“We showed a lot of determination and grit,” Bublitz said. “We knew we were in for a dog fight at the start and I’m really proud of the way our guys rallied.”

South won the sophomore game, 34-28.

PROVIDENCE 41, ST. RITA 27

47

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent

• Sunday, September 28, 2014

CHICAGO – Providence amassed 420 yards of total offense and blasted previously undefeated St. Rita, 41-27, in their national stage debut.

MaxPreps.com had the Friday night game listed as one of its Top 10 Games in the Nation.

In a battle of the two top teams in Illinois, according to MaxPreps, the Celtics (5-0, 2-0) used a balanced attack to spoil homecoming for the Mustangs.

Senior quarterback Justin Hunniford completed 17 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore tailback Richie Warfield rushed for 133 yards on 16 carries and raced 23 yards for a touchdown. Warfield added 57 yards on five pass receptions.

After St. Rita senior tailback Tyre Lee tied the game, 7-7, on a 1-yard run in the first quarter, Warfield came up with the play of the game.

He stole the momentum back and stunned the Mustangs, returning the ensuing kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown to put the Celtics back up, 14-7.

“Rita had just tied it up and I knew we needed a momentum shift,” Warfield said. “I did whatever I could. A couple of my teammates made tremendous blocks for me and I was able to take it to the end zone. My offensive line did a great job for me tonight and it is great to see our running game getting better each week.”

Hunniford connected with senior running back Sean Diehl on a 18-yard swing pass that Diehl took to the house for a 21-7 lead with three minutes left in the half.

St. Rita (4-1, 1-1) closed the Celtics’ lead to eight on a 33yard strike from senior quarterback CJ Weydeman (21 of 35, 248 yards, 3 touchdowns) to

senior wideout Brandon Gaston with 0:33 remaining in the half. Gaston finished with nine catches, three for touchdowns, and 148 yards.

Notre Dame-bound Miles Boykin hauled in his second touchdown pass from Hunniford from 8 yards out to increase the Celtic lead to 27-13 with 7:53 left in the third quarter. Boykin finished with five catches for 57 yards.

“St. Rita’s defensive backs did a real nice job on me,” Boykin said. “I’m happy I was able to catch the pair of touchdown passes and help us win this big game. Richie Warfield is a great player and really helped us win tonight.”

Warfield’s 23-yard jaunt increased the Celtics’ lead to 3413 with 7:54 left. Gaston scored a pair of fourth-quarter Mustang touchdowns. Hunniford concluded the Celtic scoring when he raced 25 yards for a touchdown with four minutes left.

“We knew this was going to be a very tough game,” Hunniford said. “St. Rita’s defensive backs did a great job on Miles and Nate tonight. Richie Warfield and Sean Diehl really stepped up big. My O-line was great again and allowed me to have another good night.”

Juniors Tom Younker and Travis Woerner along with seniors Mike Szot, Kyle Troy and Joe Zemen protected Hunniford all night.

The Celtic defense shut down Lee, holding the St. Rita star tailback to 25 yards on 13 carries. Seniors Jake Rost, Dan Miller, Emmet Trost, Luis Vasquez and Jimmy Sharkey made bone-crushing tackles all night. Junior defensive back Mike Madej shut down the final Mustang drive when he intercepted a pass in the end zone.

“We really played well against a very good St. Rita team,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said. “Richie Warfield’s 82-yard kickoff return right after Rita had scored was the play of the game. Our offensive line was great again and our defense totally shut down Lee.”

Foxes eke out OT win over Redskins

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In a football season, all losses hurt. Some, however, hurt more than others.

Consider Morris’ 29-28 overtime defeat at the hands of Yorkville on Friday night as one that may hurt the Redskins the most. Not only does it leave them with a 2-3 record with games against Northern Illinois Big 12 East foes DeKalb, Sycamore and Kaneland coming up, but this was a game in which Morris outplayed its opposition in all facets except the final score.

The Redskins (2-3, 0-1) held Yorkville’s Michael Kurtz, who had run for 253 and 310 yards in his last two games, to 113 rushing yards and just 31 in the second half. Meanwhile, Morris collected 183 yards on the ground and 175 through the air to amass a 358-222 advantage in total yards over the Foxes (5-0, 1-0).

Morris had 15 first downs to Yorkville’s eight. The Redskins returned an interception for a touchdown and scored twice on fourth-down plays. Twice, Morris pinned the Yorkville offense inside

However, Morris led in another category – nine penalties for 91 yards against two for 15 for Yorkville. The timing of the last Morris penalty was the hardest to take.

With Morris leading, 21-14,

and Yorkville facing fourthand-8 from its own 44 and 1:48 to play, the Morris defense knocked down a pass, seemingly taking over possession.

The official directly in front of the play called it incomplete, but a flag came in from the back judge.

Pass interference. First

down, Yorkville, at the Morris 42.

The Foxes got a first down, then quarterback Nathan Scott hit Tynan Leachman in the left flat. Leachman broke a tackle, then ran across the field, outdistancing the Morris defense and scoring from 27 yards out to make it 21-20 Morris.

The Foxes went for the win and Kurtz swept left to score, but Yorkville was called for holding, moving the ball back 10 yards. From there, Jonathan DeVries made the kick and the game was tied with 36.9 seconds left.

Morris took over at its 32 and Griffin Sobol (12 carries, 89 yards; 17 of 30, 175 yards passing) ran for a gain of 18 to midfield. After two incompletions, he broke free on a 40yard run to the 10. As time ran out in regulation, a field-goal attempt to win the game from 30 yards out was on line, but fell just short.

Morris got the ball first in overtime and, on fourth down, Sobol hit Chase Hansen in the end zone for a 7-yard touchdown and Luis Luna’s extra point gave Morris a 28-21 lead.

Kurtz then went 10 yards for a score on Yorkville’s first play in overtime, and he ran in the conversion for the winning points.

“I can’t say enough about the fight our kids have,” said Morris coach Alan Thorson, whose team suffered its second straight one-point overtime loss (28-27 last week to Sterling). “They kept fighting all four quarters and overtime.”

OSWEGO 37, ROMEOVILLE 28

Spartans fall to running back by committee

By SCOTT EHLING Shaw Media Correspondent OSWEGO – Even if it was for less than one half, Oswego senior starting running back Treshon Weddington did enough to lead his team to a 3728 victory over Romeoville in Southwest Prairie Conference action Friday.

Weddington (15 rushes, 172 yards) was a one-man Spartan wrecking crew on the ground, scoring on runs of 33, 12 and 68 yards before leaving shortly before halftime with apparent back spasms.

With Weddington out, the Panthers got great supporting performances from backup running backs Thomas Tripp (5 rushes, 88 yards, touchdown)

and Erik Vargas Jr. (15 rushes, 81 yards, touchdown).

In his second start at quarterback for the Spartans, junior Anthony Kitchens completed 20 of 41 pass attempts for 413 yards and threw three touchdowns and two interceptions.

The Spartans also had huge contributions from wideouts Charles Hunter (5 catches, 181 yards, 2 touchdowns) and Manuel Nartey (8 catches, 134 yards).

Spartans regular starting quarterback Kelvin Jones suffered a shoulder injury last week and was not able to throw this week in practice but did play.

“Our Achilles heel all season has been giving up the big

play,” Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna said. “We gave up several big runs and they were too physical for us inside the box.

Overall I’m proud of our effort but at the same time I think there were plays that could have been made that we didn’t make.”

Oswego (4-1, 3-0) got on the board first as Weddington took a pitch from quarterback Carter Turnquist and scored on a 33-yard touchdown run to give the Panthers a 7-0 lead with 7:09 left in the first quarter. Weddington’s 12-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter made it 14-0.

Romeoville (1-4, 1-2) cut into the deficit when Kitchens connected with wideout D’lante Dawson (6 catches, 97 yards)

for a 37-yard touchdown to make it 14-6 with 10:15 left before halftime.

“Overall we have really good receivers,” Kitchens said.

“Each game experience will definitely help me. I was definitely more calm this week, not nervous. I just made a couple of mistakes.”

Later in the quarter, Romeoville had two opportunities as it drove inside the Panthers’ 3-yard line. However, both ended with interceptions by Oswego’s Isaiah Richardson.

Weddington’s third touchdown made it 21-6, but Romeoville answered late in the half when Kitchens found Hunter for a 76-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 21-14 at half.

After the Spartans’ defense

forced a Panthers turnover to start the second half, the offense took full advantage as Jones scored on a 3-yard touchdown run to give Romeoville its first lead, 22-21, with 5:38 left in the third quarter. But two plays later Tripp scored on a 13-yard touchdown run to put Oswego up for good, 29-22.

“Anthony [Kitchens] played a good game and we have three guys at receiver that are as good as anybody out there,” Kuna said. “They’ll make plays for him and he made a lot of good plays for us tonight. Personally I think we’re one of the best 1-4 teams in the state of Illinois right now.”

In the sophomore game, Oswego defeated Romeoville, 34-32.

LOCKPORT 12, STAGG 7

Porters rally for first victory

By JEFF DEGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent PALOS HILLS – Lockport has its first victory under firstyear coach Dan Starkey.

Quarterback Deiondre Taylor hit Jon Zapotoczny on a 46yard touchdown pass with 1:30 to go for a 12-7 SouthWest Suburban Blue victory at Stagg on Friday.

“We continue to get better each week,” Starkey said. “The kids are buying into the system, we are getting to know them as coaches and you can see the results. This victory feels great.

We were down three or four starters on defense because of injuries, but we have guys who lay it on the line each week to get better. This is a very coachable group.”

The Taylor-to-Zapotoczny pass came on a fourth-and-15 play after Lockport took over with 5:15 to go on its 25-yard line. On the final series, Matt Skobel carried three times for 25 yards and two Stagg penalties helped the drive.

Taylor started at quarterback for Jeremy Quade, who had concussion-like symptoms after last week’s game against Lincoln-Way East. Starkey

“Last week we played good and lost, this week we played sloppy and won, but it still feels great. When I saw that ball in the air, I had to go get it and get in the end zone.”

Jon Zapotoczny Lockport wide receiver made the decision to hold Quade out.

“We practiced that final play in practice all the time,” Taylor said. “It was 6-11 verts and I was looking for Jon the entire time. It is so amazing to win this game. It feels great.”

Lockport (1-4, 1-2) dominated the first half, running 35 plays to Stagg’s 17 with a 15:57 to 8:03 time of possession advantage, but trailed 7-0 at halftime.

The Porters had a 16-play drive stall at the Stagg 5-yard line with five seconds to go before halftime when a 22-yard field goal attempt by Drevko Martarano hit the right upright and was no good.

Lockport’s Billy Krawczyk

intercepted Stagg’s Joe Van Nieuwenhuyse to start the second half but a three-and-out followed. Lockport then went on a nine-play, 62-yard drive capped by Skobel’s 1-yard run with 0:35 remaining in the third quarter.

Skobel carried eight of the nine plays for Lockport and all 62 yards. He ended with 78 yards on 14 carries. The extra point was missed, hitting the right upright.

On the next possession for Stagg (2-3, 0-3), the Chargers put together an 11-play drive that consumed 7:20 but came up empty. That led to the final Porter drive, the game-winner.

“Last week we played good and lost, this week we played sloppy and won, but it still feels great,” said Zapotoczny, who had three catches for 64 yards. “When I saw that ball in the air, I had to go get it and get in the end zone.”

The Porters outgained Stagg 292-223, ran 57 plays to 34 and had a six-minute advantage in time of possession.

The Lockport sophomore team improved to 4-1 with a 4928 win behind big performances from Johnny Snidanko and Patrick Cooper.

FRANKFORT – Lincoln-Way East climbed out of an early 20-point hole to score a thrilling 43-40 SouthWest Suburban Blue win over Homewood-Flossmoor on Friday.

The Vikings (3-2, 2-1) led the Griffins (4-1, 3-0) 20-0 five minutes into the first quarter. In four plays, H-F went 74 yards for its first score. Then the Vikings blocked an East punt on its first possession and took over at the Griffins’ 22 yard line. H-F scored three plays later.

The Griffins ran a fake punt on fourth down on their next possession but came up inches short, giving H-F the ball at the East 26. Two plays later, the Vikings scored again.

The Griffins cut the deficit to 20-14 by quarter’s end thanks to touchdowns by quarterback Mike Weller (1yard run) and running back Liam Morrissey (10-yard run). East senior receiver Paul Gossage set up Morrissey’s touchdown run by catching a pass and running 89 yards to the 10.

“It goes back to our offense giving us a spark after we played as poorly as we could defensively and made miscues on special teams,” Lincoln-Way East coach Rob Zvonar said. “It was really a horrendous way to start out a game. Once the offense scored, it settled the defense down a little bit.”

His quarterback agreed.

“We had a few three-andouts,” Weller said, “and that was a little rough at first, but we knew right off the bat we could tear apart their defense. Our offensive line was playing great.”

Both sides scored in the second quarter and the Vikings led, 28-21, at halftime.

East receiver John Zelenika scored by catching Weller’s pass at the 5, breaking a tackle and putting the ball over the goal line with 30 seconds left.

East took the second-half kickoff and marched 64 yards in six plays to tie the game, 28-28, when Weller found Zelenika on a 34-yard pass.

The Griffins’ defense then held H-F on downs, so East took over at the Vikings’ 40yard line. Four plays later, Morrissey ran in from the 3 and the Griffins led, 35-28, with 7:53 to play in the third.

The Vikings rallied to cut the lead to 35-34 when Devonte Harley-Hampton scored on an 8-yard run.

Zelenika went from goat to hero in the space of four minutes in the fourth quarter.

The Griffins’ defense forced an H-F punt, but Zelenika fumbled it. The Vikings recovered at the East 44. They scored eight plays later to go ahead, 40-35.

The Griffins’ offense took over at their 31 and Weller went right to Zelenika. He caught a 3-yard pass and then a 5-yard pass in the middle of the field and turned it into a 42-yard gain to the Vikings’ 24. Morrissey ran it 21 yards to the 3 line and then scored on the next play to give the Griffins a 43-40 lead with 4:38 left.

The Vikings failed on a fourth-and-9 try at the East 45 with 3:53 to play. Morrissey punished the Vikings, carrying five straight times for 45 yards to help run out the clock.

“That’s all I had my mind was running the ball hard to run down the clock,” Morrissey said.

Zelenika finished with 153 yards on 12 catches. He scored two touchdowns. Weller was 22 of 36 for 353 yards passing and two touchdowns. Gossage caught five passes for 125 yards. Morrissey finished with 30 carries for 142 yards and three touchdowns.

The Griffins had 606 total yards, the Vikings 433.

Northwestern rolls in Big Ten opener

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, September 28, 2014

The ASSOCIATED PRESS UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Home losses to California and Northern Illinois didn’t set Northwestern up with a lot of confidence.

A 29-6 victory at Penn State (4-1, 1-1) on Saturday – keyed by an outstanding effort from Wildcat quarterback Trevor Siemian, as well as a defense that provided unrelenting pressure – was the perfect remedy.

Siemian ran for three touchdowns and passed for 258 yards to help Northwestern even its record at 2-2 and win its Big Ten opener.

Siemian, who was 21 of 37, and the Wildcats established control early with short passes and ball-control offense that netted 361 yards. Fourteen of Northwestern’s 17 first downs came by the pass.

“I think we’ve said all along we weren’t a finished product,” Siemian said. “I know the Big Ten has gotten a bad rap but it just shows how competitive this thing is. At this point in the season, everyone wants to declare a Big Ten champ.

“We got our first downs and some tempo. We got a little rhythm. That’s kind of our identity as a rhythm offense.

We got the chains moving,” Siemian said.

Northwestern’s defense refused to let Penn State move.

The Lions netted 50 rushing yards and just 266 overall; they punted seven times.

The Wildcats repeatedly pressured Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg.

They notched four sacks and countless hits.

“All you can control is the way you prepare and the way that you play,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said.

“We’ve made mistakes that have cost ourselves games.

“We’re three or four catches away from being undefeated. We’re not, that’s reality. All the credit goes to our young men.”

Northwestern, despite a few special-teams mistakes that allowed Penn State temporary momentum, never allowed the Nittany Lions’ offense to establish any con-

Hackenberg and returned it 49 yards for a score.

“It was a great defensive call at the time,” Walker said.

“They were ducking us on the quick passes and the quarterback kind of looked me off a little bit. I just made a play.”

On the next possession, Xavier Washington sacked Hackenberg, forcing a fumble.

Penn State hadn’t been held without a touchdown since a 24-3 loss to Iowa in 2010.

“I take full responsibility, we weren’t ready to play today,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “We’re having the same issues that have popped up all year long – consistently being able to run the ball and protecting the quarterback.

“The bye week couldn’t come at a better time.” Penn State is idle until an Oct. 11 game at Michigan.

“We will get it fixed,” Franklin said. “I promise and guarantee you that. We will get it fixed.”

Northwestern’s Matthew Harris was carted off late in the third after a head-first collision with Hackenberg.

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

Minnesota dominates Michigan at Big House The ASSOCIATED PRESS ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Mitch Leidner ran for a touchdown and passed for another, and Minnesota beat Michigan, 3014, Saturday to win the Little Brown Jug for the second time in 24 years.

Minnesota (4-1 overall, 1-0 Big Ten) also got a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown by De’Vondre Campbell, highlighting a defensive effort that saw the Golden Gophers limit Michigan (2-3, 0-1 Big Ten) to 171 yards of total offense.

David Cobb accounted for 161 of Minnesota’s 229 total yards in the first half, which ended with the first of three field goals by Ryan Santoso to give the Golden Gophers a 10-7 lead. Cobb finished with 183 yards rushing on 32 carries.

Leidner, who missed last week’s win against San Jose State with an injury, completed 14 of 22 passes for 167 yards, including a touchdown to tight end Maxx Williams.

Michigan sophomore Shane Morris, making his second career start at quarterback, completed 7 of 19 passes for 49 yards before being replaced by former starter Devin Gardner in the fourth quarter.

No. 9 Michigan St. 56, Wyoming 14: At East Lansing, Mich-

utive games for the first time since 1978.

Wyoming (3-2) finished with 286 yards of offense, but lost the ball on two fumbles and an interception.

No. 19 Wisconsin 27, South Florida 10: At Madison, Wisconsin, Melvin Gordon rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns, and Wisconsin (3-1) overcame a sluggish start to beat South Florida (2-3).

Gordon scored on carries of 7 and 43 yards on the Badgers’ first two drives of the second half after running room finally opened up for the star tailback.

Wisconsin inched away in the final 20 minutes to extend its nonconference home winning streak to 32.

igan, Jeremy Langford ran for 137 of Michigan State’s 533 yards of total offense.

Michigan State (3-1) completed its most prolific four games in school history with a 50.3-point average.

Kiel, the acclaimed passer for the Bearcats, completed 21 of 32 passes for 352 yards and four scores in a game of wild momentum swings before a stadium-record crowd of 108,362.

The Buckeyes won their 40th consecutive game over an in-state opponent, finishing with 710 yards.

Iowa 24, Purdue 10: At West Lafayette, Indiana, Iowa spotted Purdue a 10-0 lead, then dominated the final 49 minutes, rallying for a victory against the Boilermakers (2-3, 0-1).

The Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-0) took a 17-10 lead with 45 seconds remaining in the third quarter on a 23-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Beathard to Kevonte Martin-Manley.

Maryland 37, Indiana 15: At Bloomington, Indiana, quarterback C.J. Brown tried to ensure Maryland’s introduction to Big Ten football came with a fitting celebration.

Backup quarterback Caleb Rowe and the Terrapins’ surprisingly stout defense made sure of it.

Brown ran for one touchdown and threw for another before leaving with an injury, and Rowe threw two more TD passes in the second half as the Terrapins (4-1, 1-0) routed Indiana (2-2, 0-1).

Rutgers 31, Tulane 6: At Piscataway, New Jersey, senior Gary Nova threw three of his four touchdown passes to high school teammate Leonte Carroo and became the all-time career leader in touchdown passes at Rutgers (4-1) in a victory over Tulane (1-4).

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Everett Golson completed 25 straight passes, setting a Notre Dame record, and threw for four touchdowns to lead the eighth-ranked Fighting Irish to a 31-15 victory against Syracuse on Saturday night.

Golson’s record-breaking game was far from perfect. The quarterback threw his first two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown in the fourth quarter by Durell Eskridge.

He fumbled the ball away deep in Syracuse territory and bumbled an attempt to spike the ball late in the first half to stop the clock into another giveaway.

A total of five turnovers by the Irish (4-0) allowed Syracuse (2-3) to linger. Terrel Hunt’s 7-yard touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter cut the lead to 21-9.

Bears tight end Martellus Bennett celebrates after scoring a touchdown Monday against the New York Jets in East Rutherford, N.J.

Packers, Bears defy expectations You know the expression: These aren’t your father’s Green Bay Packers or Bears.

Actually, these might be more your father’s Packers than what we’ve come to expect from Green Bay in recent years, and in my 37 years on the NFL beat, I’ve never seen a Bears team like this.

In case you haven’t noticed, the Packers through three weeks this season are 28th in the NFL in total offense, 26th running the ball, 22nd throwing it and 27th in points scored.

I know what you’re thinking. But no, Aaron Rodgers still is there and he hasn’t exactly played poorly with a 95.1 passer rating, five touchdowns and one pick.

Not Rodgers-esque, but better than 28th in total offense, right?

In addition to Rodgers, Jordy Nelson is the second-most productive wideout in the NFL with 23 catches for 351 yards and a touchdown.

Unfortunately for the Packers, that’s pretty much where it stops.

Although Randall Cobb does have three touchdowns, he’s caught 14 passes and is

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush averaging only 9.0 yards a pop.

The biggest problem for Rodgers might be the total of eight catches for 77 yards and a touchdown he’s gotten out of the tight end position in the person of Andrew Quarless.

Jermichael Finley might never have lived up to his athletic potential with the Packers, but he was so explosive from the tight end position, defenses always had to account for him on the field.

That dimension is gone from the Packers’ offense.

The fact the offensive line has been mediocre to poor – Rodgers already has been on the ground nine times for 65 yards in losses, and Eddie Lacy has been reduced to a nonfactor rushing the ball only 12 times a game – has been the pin in the Packers’ offensive balloon.

Green Bay has been almost as ineffective on defense.

It is good against the pass, sixth in the NFL, but actually

worse than the Bears stopping the run, just 30th through three weeks and 20th in total defense and 27th in points allowed.

A lot of the Packers’ defensive problems start up front, where they are nowhere near recovered from the loss of B.J. Raji on the nose.

Mike Daniels actually has been pretty good from one five-technique, but last year’s No. 1 pick, Datone Jones is just a guy on the other end, and Vikings castoff Letroy Guion is having a hard time filling in for Raji.

One thing Bears fans should fear is Julius Peppers warming to the task in the elephant/outside rush backer role defensive coordinator Dom Capers is trying to craft for him, coming off a good game last Sunday in Detroit.

But Clay Matthews has been just a shadow of his defensive MVP self, and on the inside at linebacker, Jamari Lattimore has been good taking snaps away from Brad Jones but A.J. Hawk has been below average and Jones less than that.

Part of the Packers’ success against the pass has been a re-

sults of their failures against the run, but Tramon Williams and Sam Shields on the corners, and Morgan Burnett, Micah Hyde and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix at the safety spots can be very good in the secondary when they get any pressure at all in front of them.

The Bears? When has a Bears team ever been one of the best passing clubs in the league but disinterested in running and improved, but still well below average on defense?

Not in my lifetime, and the sum of all those parts is what makes this one so difficult to call.

Here’s a key to watch: Matt Forte and Eddie Lacy are two of the best backs in the league should their coaches decide to use them, and James Starks is one of the more solid No. 2s.

The team that actually commits to the run and makes it work should win this one.

I guess that would be like your father’s Packers and Bears, wouldn’t it?

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Paul Konerko wasn’t quite sure what to expect when the Chicago White Sox honored him.

He got more than he bargained for on his way to retirement.

The White Sox unveiled a bronze statue and announced his No. 14 will be retired next season on Saturday.

They also presented him his grand slam ball from the 2005 World Series and paid tribute through a series of videos that included well wishes from current and former teammates, the Bulls’ Derrick Rose, the Blackhawks’ Jonathan Toews, retiring Yankees star Derek Jeter and Metallica’s James Hetfield in a ceremony before Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Royals.

“I guess it’s too late to ask for a day off. I’ll try to get through it

White Sox 5, Royals 4 CHICAGO – Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer, and the White Sox kept Kansas City out of first place in the AL Central with a victory over the Royals on Saturday night. The Detroit Tigers, who lost, 12-3, at Minnesota on Saturday, stayed one game ahead of the Royals entering the final day of the regular season. Kansas City clinched at least a wild card spot on Friday.

– Wire report the best way I can,” a composed and touched Konerko told the crowd.

Konerko got through the 35-minute presentation just fine.

Then, he had a game to play.

He went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts against Kansas City on Saturday, then was replaced prior to the top of the seventh by Andy Wilkins. Konerko took his spot at first base before being

called back to the dugout and walked off to a standing ovation.

He was summoned out for a curtain call.

He is expected to be in the lineup on Sunday, then call it a career after 16 seasons in Chicago and 18 in the majors.

A six-time American League All-Star, Konerko ranks second on the White Sox’s list in homers, RBIs and games played. So it’s hardly a surprise he got saluted on his way out.

And what a ceremony it was.

Near the end, chairman Jerry Reinsdorf pointed toward the left-field concourse. Dozens of black and white balloons were set loose, revealing a bronze statue of Konerko waving his right fist, just as he did when he hit a grand slam against Houston in the 2005 World Series.

Moments later, team broadcaster and emcee Ken Harrelson announced Konerko’s number will be retired in 2015.

BREWERS 2, CUBS 1

Milwaukee evens series with Cubs The ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE – Jonathan Lucroy set a major-league record for doubles in a season by a catcher, and Francisco Rodriguez moved into 10th place on baseball’s career saves list in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 2-1 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

Wily Peralta (17-11) struck out a career-high 13 in seven innings, allowing five hits and one walk in 109 pitches. Rodriguez pitched a scoreless ninth for his

348th career save, and 44th this year, to move ahead of Randy Myers.

Lucroy’s double off Tsuyoshi Wada (4-4) in the fifth inning snapped a 1-1 tie and gave the All-Star his 46th double as a catcher, topping the 45 hit by Texas’ Ivan Rodriguez in 1996.

Lucroy has 53 doubles this year, tying the Brewers’ franchise record. Seven were hit when he played first base.

Francisco Rodriguez has converted all but five save opportu-

nities in 69 games.

Wada allowed two runs, eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

Milwaukee (82-79), with one game left against the Cubs on Sunday, is assured of finishing the season with a winning record.

The Cubs scored their only run on an RBI double by Anthony Rizzo in the third inning.

Lucroy’s double scored Gomez from second and gave Milwaukee a 2-1 lead.

Europe’s Sergio Garcia celebrates winning a foursomes match Saturday, the second day of the Ryder Cup, at Gleneagles, Scotland.

Europe closing in on Ryder Cup

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press GLENEAGLES, Scotland – Justin Rose swept that magical putter into the air before his ball even reached the hole, and he punched his right fist when it dropped for a birdie. Just like at Medinah, the final match in the Ryder Cup on Saturday gave Europe another big boost of momentum going into the last round.

Only this time, Europe didn’t really need it.

Rose capped a remarkable Saturday for himself and his team. That 6-foot putt on the 18th hole at Gleneagles was enough to give Rose and Martin Kaymer a half-point, giving Europe a 10-6 advantage and leaving it on the cusp of another Ryder Cup victory.

That was the same score two years ago, except that Europe was in dire need of a comeback.

Now it is worried about complacency.

“This job is far from finished,” Europe captain Paul McGinley said. “We’re in great position, but we’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow.”

Rose teamed with Henrik Stenson to make a record 12 birdies in 16 holes in fourballs. Equally important was getting something – even a half – in foursomes against America’s refreshing rookie

tandem of Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.

“Any glimmer of momentum that they had – say they win that match – they take something with them into the locker room,” Graeme McDowell said. “And that’s what happened to us at Medinah.

That’s why that putt for Justin was so huge, because it gave them nothing to take away this evening.”

U.S. captain Tom Watson walked away only with a lot of questions he couldn’t answer.

He was criticized for playing Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley a second time Friday, and it was more peculiar when he didn’t play them at all Saturday.

It was the first time Mickelson sat out an entire day in his two decades playing the Ryder Cup. Instead, Watson sent out Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker for a fourth straight match, even though their previous games all went to the 18th hole and ended in a draw.

The fatigue was evident, particularly with Walker, who shanked a shot from the third fairway. They didn’t stand a chance against McDowell and Victor Dubuisson.

“It may have been a mistake that I put Jimmy and Rickie out for four matches,” Watson said. “I thought they could handle it.”

TURNING AROUND TRAGEDY Annual Joliet rally focuses on hope, diminishing fear

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Hope.

Don’t let fear control your life.

During this year’s “Will County Take Back the Night” rally, Sherry Anicich of Plainfield will speak on the first topic and Kellie Stryker of Crystal Lake will speak on the second.

The fact these two women are collaborating on these topics proves their earnestness.

Anicich is the mother of Alisha Bromfield, 21, of Plainfield. A co-worker, Brian M. Cooper, 37, of Plainfield, was sentenced Aug. 19, 2012 for murdering Bromfield, when they were in Wisconsin for a wedding. Bromfield was 7 months pregnant – Cooper was not the father – and planned to call the baby Ava. Stryker is Cooper’s sister, a social worker specializing in mental health, child abuse and domestic violence.

Earlier this year, Anicich and Stryker both testified before the Wisconsin Legislature as to why voluntary intoxication should not be a homicide defense. Assembly Bill 780, which says just that, as signed into law in August.

The first time Anicich and Stryker had formally met was at the capitol building in February, but it won’t be their last collaboration, Anicich said. Although Take Back the Night will be their first formal public speaking appearance, it won’t be the last. More speaking engagements are scheduled, Anicich added, but don’t expect them to focus on the murder.

“I want people to know that you can take something so evil and tragic and turn it around into something good,” Anicich said.

Stryker, 29, who said she grew up in a mentally and abusive environment, has separated herself from many family

Anicich will be speaking along with Kellie Stryker, the sister of Bromfield’s murderer, at a Take Back the Night vigil and march Thursday at Joliet Memorial Stadium. TOP: Stryker stands in her Crystal Lake home Sept. 25. In May, Stryker’s brother Brian M.

members. This has triggered anxiety, Stryker said, but she refuses to allow that anxiety to rule her life.

“Fear is an emotion you can overcome,” Stryker said.

“Once you overcome it, you can have your destiny be what you want it to be. You can be your own person.”

Stryker’s first swing against fear was after Cooper’s first trial – where Stryker testified on Cooper’s behalf – ended in a hung journey. It bothered Stryker that Cooper refused to take responsibility for his actions.

“I had to do the right thing,” Stryker said. “I had to speak out.”

After testifying against her brother, Stryker contacted Anicich, uncertain if the reception would be gracious or hostile. Anicich said she

did feel angry at first, until she realized Stryker’s sincerity.

“I was very protective of my own self,” said Anicich, who added that her devotion to Mary, Jesus’ mother, provides strength and guidance, “but then I decided to open my heart up.”

Stryker was immediately impressed by Anicich’s efforts to keep Bromfield’s memory alive and said Anicich is a tremendous inspiration to her.

“She’s a selfless person just for giving me a chance to be in her life. It means the world,” Stryker said. “She is a courageous woman who has dealt with so much in the aftermath of her daughter’s death.”

Since Bromfield’s death, Anicich, a counselor with 20 years of grief experience, has begun a foundation called the Purple Project (www.purple-

project.org) that has made and distributed 4,000 purple rosaries (purple was Bromfield’s favorite color), as well as “Pay It Forward” cards that encourage people to do good deeds.

Anicich also has distributed baby bottles for people to fill to support unwed mothers in the memory of Anicich’s granddaughter Ava that never lived to see birth. A member of Joliet Junior Woman’s Club (jolietjuniors.org), Anicich said a $1,000 scholarship the group awards is now called the Alisha and Ava Bromfield Memorial Community Scholarship.

The Purple Project recently held a bowling fundraiser.

Anicich’s goal is to eventually open a home for unwed mothers and to offer them counseling, spiritual guidance and basic life skills classes.

Yet, despite her resolve and noble activities, Anicich is nervous about her first public speaking appearance, which will be Thursday.

“I just hope we can get our message across,” Anicich said.

If you go n WHAT: Will County Take Back the Night n WHEN: 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday n WHERE: Joliet Memorial Stadium, 3000 W. Jefferson St. Joliet n ETC: Guest speakers, memorial program, march. Food pantry donations will be accepted. Proceeds will go to local battered women’s shelters. n VISIT: www.willtbtn.com and facebook.com/WillTBTN

Sherry Anicich suggested the following ways to show support after tragedy strikes: • Send an occasional “I’m thinking about you” or I’m praying for you.”

• Post an inspirational quote on Facebook.

• Offer to take a 30-minute walk.

• Ask, “How are you today?” and be prepared to listen.

• Remember significant days – birthdays, holidays, and the anniversary date of the tragedy – with a card, a note or phone call.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Double fits give more winners

CELEBRITY CIPHER

To end this week’s look at various suit fits, a wild deal in which each side has a double fit.

A double fit (almost always) produces more tricks than the point-count would suggest.

And if one side has a double fit, so does the other. The usual guideline in these deals is to declare.

First, though, look only at the West hand. What would you lead against six hearts doubled after that exciting sequence?

Once you have decided, study the full layout. What do you think of the auction? What is par – the result when both sides do as well as possible?

If this deal were played at 10 tables, you would surely have 10 different auctions.

First, East might jump straight to four spades. Although this risks missing a slam, it does make South’s life much harder.

Here, if East did bid four spades, I guess South would compete with five diamonds.

That would go back to East, who might suddenly be inconsistent, bidding six clubs. One minute, he is happy with game; the next, he is forcing to slam.

In the given sequence, it is vital for South to bid five diamonds. When you know of a double fit, tell partner. North’s six-heart bid might turn a plus into a minus, but it avoids the risk of a big minus.

Six hearts doubled is defeated by three tricks if East receives a diamond ruff and the defenders correctly cash their three black-suit tricks.

Six spades will make if East guesses clubs correctly.

The par result is seven diamonds doubled down three.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips be able to ask his sisters if they were abused and acting out as a result of it.

It seems incredible that as parents we were oblivious because we thought we were aware of and vigilant about threats to our children.

Now our son does not want to discuss this and refuses to see his counselor.

We’re afraid pushing him will trigger a relapse on his part, but we are also concerned about whether there might be an issue with his sisters that should be addressed. Should we tell him we’re going to raise it with his sisters? Or should we wait until he’s ready?

-- WANTS TO DO WHAT’S BEST DEAR WANTS: This news has to have been shocking to you and your husband as parents, but it isn’t time yet for a family discussion because your son may be too fragile. Also, I think professional ethics prevent your son’s therapist from discussing this with you.

Issues like this can be complicated, and the facts may never be known.

What is most important now is for you to show your son that you love him and care about his emotional health, and while you respect his privacy, it is vital that he help himself move forward. The past cannot be changed, but it is important for his future that he find a professional with whom he CAN talk, if the therapist he has been seeing isn’t helping him.

Table any family discussion about this until your son is stronger.

DEAR ABBY: My birthday is in 26 days and my dad just told me he is not going to get me a birthday present. And I really want an iPod Touch for school.

I’m in the fifth grade and everyone in my class has an iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone. EXCEPT ME! My mom said she would get me a present, but it will be something small.

And unless I can keep my room clean, I won’t have a birthday! I’m turning double digits (10)! Please help! -- DESPERATE GIRL IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR DESPERATE: I’ll try, but it may not be the help you’re hoping for.

Talk to your parents and ask why they are against you having an iPod Touch.

Not all kids your age have parents who can afford them, and that might be the reason. Show them you are mature by keeping your room clean and doing whatever other chores are assigned to you. If you get an allowance, start saving up and ask them if they would “partner” with you in getting an iPod Touch in the future, after you have saved a certain amount.

It’s worth a try, and it just might work.

DEAR ABBY: My 20-yearold son is in recovery from substance abuse. He has also dealt with depression over the years. He has informed his therapist, his father and me that his older sisters had sex with him when he was a young child. It was one of the explanations he gave for his depression and substance abuse.

I have wanted to talk to his counselor about the situation so that as a family we can talk to his sisters. We could perhaps find out whether what he’s referring to is normal experimentation or something more. We would also

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Success is at your doorstep. Your discipline and industriousness will bring you great dividends. Keep your eyes open for the right time to make your move. You may experience some small complications, but if you stick to your game plan, you will come out ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Revisit old dreams and make whatever changes are required to be successful. Do whatever it takes to achieve the contentment and comfort you desire.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Try not to feel unsure and vulnerable. Don’t let emotions lead to an upsetting conflict or disagreement. You will regret it if you say the first thing that comes to mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) –Get matters out in the open. Sitting back and hoping problems will evaporate will get you nowhere. A bad situation will get worse if you don’t face unsettling business head-on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Good fortune is all around you. Your creativity and imagination are at an all-time high. An unconventional partnership will give you the advantage you need to realize your

dreams.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t let an encounter with someone upset you. If someone makes you uncomfortable, walk away and make an effort to carefully pick and choose your associates in the future.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) –You will ride an emotional high today. Your enthusiasm will infect everyone you come in contact with. You will receive a surprising declaration from someone you admire and respect.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Be aware of devious dealings. Keep on top of professional or financial ups and downs

in order to avoid a loss. Be prepared to make adjustments to your schedule on a moment’s notice.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – This is an optimum time for business meetings and legal discussions. Don’t allow your insecurity to lead you astray. If you second-guess your motives or actions, you will not make progress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – If you are diplomatic, you will be able to defuse an uncomfortable conflict. Your sense of humor and quick wit will ease tension and make you the go-to person when a solution is required.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your future will be altered by a chance meeting. The ability to make others feel at ease will leave a good impression, allowing you to use persuasive tactics to get your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Alter your living space and make it a comforting refuge where you can relax and rejuvenate. The input you get from relatives and friends will motivate you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – It’s time to make changes to your routine. Explore different lifestyles, cultures and ideas. Your creativity will be reawakened if you interact with people from diverse backgrounds.
