Chicago Football special section launches this week My first memory of the Bears is from 1986, when the team won the Super Bowl.

I was in first grade and my school had all students write letters to his or her favorite Bear. I wrote a love letter to Jim McMahon; I wish I remember more of what it said, beyond it professing my love for my favorite QB and singer in the Super Bowl Shuffle.

My love for the Bears has never really waned, although that little-girl crush on McMahon certainly did (I’ve moved on to hockey players).

I’ve defended our team when I lived in Minnesota during college (curse the Vikings), Indiana against the Colts when I was a just-out-ofschool journalist, and most importantly, against the Packers during my two-plus years working in Wisconsin.

So I’m looking forward to the

Joliet Junior College’s housing occupancy rate dropping Property owners, school at crossroads with marketing

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Managers of Centennial Commons, an apartment complex built to house Joliet Junior College students, said the occupancy rate is sinking because of new restrictions school officials said were put in place to protect students’ privacy.

Centennial Commons, located on the southwest side of the main campus, has an occupancy rate of 58 percent, 2 percent lower than last year and even lower than in years past when the rate hovered at 90 to 100 percent, said Jasmin Zelinko, Centennial Commons general manager.

She said since the 2014 school year, the college has not sent a list of contact information for the number of students previously received.

As a result, complex staff has not been able to advertise the apartments to enough students, which has affected revenue and payment on bonds.

But JJC officials said they have put limits on contact information they give to outside parties to uphold a federal law that protects students’ priva-

The JJC Centennial Commons is a privately-owned apartment complex in Joliet that serves Joliet Junior College students. cy. Officials also said they are working with Centennial Commons to market the property.

Campus Evolution Villages, which manages Centennial Commons, normally receives contact information for 15,000 to 20,000 prospective tenants, according to a disclosure posted to Electronic Municipal Market Access. The disclosure was posted on EMMA to notify bond holders, Zelinko said.

Now those marketable prospective tenants are down to 1,000 to 2,000, she said.

“We have been going back and forth [with the college]

and it’s very unfortunate on our part because we service only students of Joliet Junior College. That’s the only reason why this property was built,” Zelinko said.

Centennial Commons, owned by Foundation Housing LLC, opened in 2002 and has suffered crime and financial issues in the past. Before 2010, owners took action on reducing crime by setting residency restrictions, such as GPA requirements.

Yolanda Isaacs, JJC vice president of student development, stated in an email that

college officials’ past practice has been to provide Campus Evolution Villages with students’ college-issued email addresses.

But JJC officials discovered in 2014 that the college’s existing definition of student directory information – which federal law allows to be disclosed without prior written consent – did not include student email addresses, Isaacs stated. They decided to include it in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of student

education records. It applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

After including student email addresses in the definition of student directory information, the college can only release that contact information to Centennial Commons and other parties after the 15th day of classes of the first semester the student enrolled during an academic year, Isaacs said.

That is the period for students to opt out of having their information released. Federal law requires colleges give students notice of their right to opt out of the student directory.

“Although I know that this decision has not [been] viewed favorably with Centennial Commons’ management, as a college, we have the responsibility to protect students’ privacy while upholding federal laws,” Isaacs stated.

She said the school has partnered with Centennial Commons to advertise the apartments. During the admission application process, students can also check off a box to receive information on Centennial Commons.

Zelinko said Centennial Commons management has been using other marketing methods for the property.

Joliet family ran into roadblocks with doctors, insurers

Kevin Schultz Joliet resident fight? This was almost a full year of fighting with insurance companies, fighting with doctors,” Kevin Schultz said.

Hunt for doctors

Kevin Schultz said his problems began in September 2014, when the state changed his family’s health insurance plan because of the Affordable

Care Act. Previously, they were on Medicaid but now are required to receive that coverage through a private insurer, Erin Schultz said.

They were given a list of insurers and chose Harmony Health Plan, a branch of Wellcare Health Plans.

By December, Kevin Schultz wanted out.

He said the insurance company gave him a list of four doctors – in Joliet, Bolingbook and Lockport – to visit.

Over the course of several months, he said he was unable to receive care from the first three doctors he visited – either because they didn’t exist, couldn’t accept his family as

JOLIET – The Schultz family in Joliet struggled for months to find doctors who would care for them.

Kevin and Erin Schultz needed a doctor for their two daughters. Erin also needed a doctor for herself when she became pregnant in December, one who would monitor her closely because of past complications with giving birth.

But when their health insurance coverage changed under the state Affordable Care Act last fall, Kevin Schultz said they went through a nightmare ordeal with a new insurer that caused them to go through several doctors and limited their access to a local hospital.

The Schultz family is one of millions who have undergone changes in their health care after a 2010 federal law that requires citizens to obtain health insurance or face fines. Provisions of the law – which the public still is divided on, according to an August Kaiser Family Foundation poll – were enacted in 2013 to expand Medicaid coverage, as well as private insurance coverage, to more people.

The impact of the law has varied. In an April survey of 1,506 people from the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan health policy organization, 56 percent reported no direct impact while 19 percent said it helped them and 22 percent said it hurt them.

The Schultz family is among those who said the law has made their health care coverage more than difficult.

While they’ve been able to secure doctors for their children and Erin, who is due to give birth this month, the fight has left its mark.

“My children do have a decent pediatrician, but we’re talking about how long for a

patients because of their insurance or because of the type of medical treatment they sought.

Under the Harmony Health Plan, the family was unable to receive care from Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center except for emergencies, he said. His wife could go there to give birth, but the insurance company told the family she would have to be moved to another hospital afterward.

The family lives less than a mile away from St. Joe’s.

When asked in an email questions about the family’s situation, a Harmony Health Plan spokesperson responded with a statement that “the company is committed to providing quality obstetrical [pregnancy] care” for its members.

“When a Harmony member indicates to us that she is unable to find a participating obstetrician-gynecologist in our network, Harmony contracts with an outside physician to ensure our member receives the care she needs,” the statement read.

Kevin Schultz said he was not able to find the help he needed from Harmony Health Plan to find a suitable doctor for his family until a person from the company was assigned – in July – specifically to them.

“We [complained] and moaned until we got somebody that knew what the hell they were doing,” he said.

It wasn’t until last January when he said he was able to find a pediatrician for his two daughters. Erin Schultz said until June she was unable to find a doctor who could give her the Level 2 ultrasound she needed as a high-risk patient because none of them would accept her insurance and she needed special authorization.

Joliet family spends months searching for health care • HEALTH CARE

Continued from page 3 Medical Clinic in Joliet, Kevin Schultz said he didn’t want to because he believes he would be billed directly. The clinic is a nonprofit organization that provides free medical and dental care to adults with no health insurance or medical care entitlements.

Locked in

Kevin Schultz said he wasn’t able to free himself of Harmony Health Plan because he was told by the state he would be locked into that plan for a year. He said when his family received care through

their previous Medicaid coverage, they had access to more doctors and hospitals than with Harmony Health Plan.

He wanted a different insurer in December and said he contacted the state Department of Human Services, but they were unable to switch him. He also talked with other state department staff, to no avail.

The Schultzes received help from the office staff of state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood. Staff there put them in contact with the person at Harmony Health Plan who could better assist the family.

When asked about the family’s situation, Alissandra Calderon, Illinois

Department of Insurance spokeswoman, wrote in an email that if a person was enrolled in a Health Insurance Marketplace plan, they only would be allowed to change plans during open enrollment period – unless they qualified for special enrollment. Erin Schultz said the family didn’t qualify for special enrollment because they already signed up for Harmony Health Plan.

Calderon wrote if the Schultz family was in a plan outside of the marketplace, they don’t “necessarily have open enrollment rights into plans. Therefore, they would want to wait until the Marketplace open enrollment.”

“However, the plan –

whether on or off the Marketplace – should have a network to accept patients,” she wrote.

If a person is having problems, he or she should contact the state insurance department with a complaint.

The experience of being unable to pull away from Harmony Health Plan and receiving little help from the state has left Kevin Schultz bitter about the ACA. Schultz said his wife and his children are at least receiving the medical care they need at this point, but the hoops he had to jump through have left him angry.

“It’s still not great but better than it was,” he said.

Erin Schultz sits on her living room couch Wednesday with her daughter, Teagen, 4, at their home in Joliet. Erin, who will deliver her third child via cesarean section this month, has been finding headaches instead of help with the family’s insurance.

Officials urge checking local laws before open burns

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com The leaves will soon start falling onto lawns, sidewalks and front porches.

And while it’s tempting to clean up your yard by burning piles of leaves, branches and grass clippings, area officials said residents should know the open burning laws first.

For example, if you live in unincorporated Grundy County, you can only open burn yard waste between Oct. 15 and May 1. But don’t think about open burning anything in the city of Joliet at any time of year.

And don’t forget about state open burning laws, which defer to local ordinances but prohibit burning of comShaw Media file photo mercial waste, and regulate the burn- Doug Abbott burns branches he trimmed ing of agricultural and disaster debris from lilac bushes in his backyard April 5, waste.

2007, on Marley Road in New Lenox.

Be a good neighbor

The major problem with open burns, officials said, is it becomes a nuisance to neighbors.

“That’s one of the biggest concerns because it’s why we generally receive complaints,” said David Hartke, an environmental compliance officer with the Will County Land Use Department and an inspector with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

Will County’s open burning laws don’t restrict the time of year residents can open burn on their properties. But Hartke said burn sites must be at least 50 feet from neighboring structure and the fire must be tended by an adult.

Also, county residents must make sure all leaves, branches and bushes come from the same property as the burn and are dry.

“Especially wet material produces more of an odor and smoke,” Hartke said. “Grass clippings are not allowed because they don’t burn well. They smolder and smoke, annoying the neighbors.”

Patio wood-burning units must be at least 15 feet from any neighboring structure.

In Grundy County, the time restrictions ensure burning is done when residents usually keep windows and doors closed, Department of Land Use Director Heidi Miller said.

“Also, the wind is not very strong,” Miller said.

In unincorporated Grundy County, open burns must be at least 20 feet from neighboring structures or property lines.

“A lot of it is common sense consideration from neighbors,” Miller said.

But there is a financial consideration, too. Grundy County violators face a $100 fine for the first offense and a class B misdemeanor for subsequent offenses.

Hartke said Will County violators face a $50 fine for the first offense, $150 for the second and $500 for the third.

counties don’t allow open burning of yard waste in city limits.

According to section 8.44.060 of the Morris municipal code, “It is unlawful for any person to burn or cause the combustion of any landscape waste or yard waste at any time within the corporate limits of the city of Morris.”

Yard waste under that section refers to grass, garden clippings, brush, Christmas trees, leaves, tree clippings and yard maintenance materials.

Morris, however, does allow the open burning of limited amounts of dry paper, cardboard or other combustible materials that don’t produce an offensive odor if burned. These materials must be completely consumed by the fire before 7 p.m. daily.

The city of Joliet doesn’t allow open burning of any kind.

“It’s something the city stopped many years ago,” said Joliet Deputy Fire Chief Ray Randich, referring to laws passed in 1984.

However, Randich said renewed interest in fire pits has led to the city adopting rules for those fires.

“You need to make sure you’re only burning hardwood or commercially made logs,” Randich said. “People tend to burn leaves and scraps and we keep getting those complaints.”

Other municipalities in both counties vary in their approaches to open burning.

Coal City allows open burning of yard waste, but restricts it from Nov. 1 through February. Leaves can’t be burned between sunset and sunrise.

Plainfield doesn’t allow open burning of any waste except for Forest Preserve District of Will County purposes, preventative fires, campfire fuel burning, recreational or in fireplace burning, refinery waste gases and small open flames for heating tar, welding, highway safety flares and similar uses.

County open burn laws Grundy County • Must be dry landscape waste and brush • Must be generated on the property where burn will occur • Must be conducted between Oct. 15 and May 1 • Must be done between 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. weekdays and 7 p.m. to 9 a.m. weekends • Must be at least 20 feet from a building or property line • Must occur with adult supervision and with means to extinguish the fire available Will County • Must be landscape waste • Must be at least 50 feet from any neighboring structure • Patio wood-burning units must be at least 15 feet from neighboring structures • Must occur with “competent” supervision until extinguished • Must have means to extinguish the fire available

burning violators during the past several years, officials said.

Will County advertises other ways to discard yard waste at www.willcountygreen.com, such as composting or using a mulching mower for leaves and grass clippings.

Grundy County promotes similar initiatives through its Environmental and Resource Conservation Office.

Joliet allows residents to gather yard waste in paper bags, or a rented dumpster for large items, such as tree branches, for free pickup.

But some officials, like Randich, promote a much more natural alternative.

“Leaves fall onto the ground for a purpose,” he said. “They say it creates a bedding on the ground; a natural cycle of mother nature. It’s almost meant Local ordinances Alternatives Many of the major cities in both Both counties have had a few open to be left there.”

Two men arrested early Friday in motel robbery in Joliet

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Two men were arrested early Friday after authorities said they robbed a man in a motel laundry room in Joliet.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said the 28-yearold victim told witnesses to call 911 while he struggled with one of the bandits over a loaded pistol at Motel 6, 1850 McDonough St.

The robbery occurred at 12:38 a.m. as the victim was washing clothes in a second-floor laundry room and Lavonte M. Hughes, 20, and Deandre J. Wilder, 33, came in to ask if he had change for a $50 bill, according to Gregory.

“The victim said he did not and Hughes grabbed him from behind and began beating him while Wilder went through his pockets and took approximately $30,” Gregory said. “The victim said Hughes pulled out a

gun during the fight and Wilder said ‘Pop him.’ ” The victim and Hughes fought for control of the gun and the struggle spilled out into the hall, where it was viewed by several witnesses, Gregory said. Officers arrived to find Hughes and Wilder getting into a blue Dodge Durango driven by a 31-year-old woman.

“Because the calls said he was armed, the officers had their weapons drawn when they ordered everyone to get

out of the vehicle. Hughes only complied after they [said they would use a] Taser on him,” Gregory said.

Police found a loaded handgun on the passenger side floorboard where Hughes was getting in, Gregory said. The gun was reported stolen in Joliet in 2010.

“Virtually the entire incident was captured on video from different surveillance cameras and supports the victim’s version of events,” Greg-

ory noted.

The 31-year-old woman was questioned at the police station and released without being charged.

Wilder, homeless, according to jail records, was arrested on a charge of armed robbery. Hughes, of the 200 block of North Prairie Avenue, was arrested on charges of armed robbery, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a firearm by a street gang member.

didn’t have any books at home. So if she was given a book in class, she would read it cover to cover, again and again, until she had to give it back. One day Mrs. Kolish, her teacher, handed out brand-new copies of Charlotte’s Web. As usual, Olivia read it cover to cover, again and again. She reluctantly went to give it back, but this time was different. Mrs. Kolish wouldn’t accept the book because Charlotte’s Web was Olivia’s to keep. You see, Olivia didn’t know that every time you shopped at Target, you were giving to education. And each time you did, you helped raise one billion dollars for supplies and books for students like Olivia.

So when Olivia said thanks a billion to Mrs. Kolish for the first book she could call her own, she was saying thanks a billion to you, too.

Krull said all bites are required by law to be reported to Animal Control.

Animal Control has a bite protocol in place, which requires the animal’s owner to show proof of rabies shots. If the owner cannot prove the animal is up to date on shots it is held at a local veterinary office for 10 days for observation and is given a rabies shot before leaving, all at the owner’s expense.

If an animal is up to date on the shots but the bite happens above the shoulder of the victim, the animal also is required to have a 10-day hold.

MORRIS – Revenues are down for Grundy County Animal Control because of a lower call volume.

Grundy County Animal Control reported the decrease Thursday night to the Grundy County Board’s Facilities Committee.

Animal Control holds contracts with all the Grundy County municipalities except for Channahon to provide animal control services. Coal City only uses the call-out service while other towns have a set number of patrols a week as well as call-out services.

“We work with the communities to maintain control at a reasonable cost,” Animal Control Director June Krull said Friday. “The weather has a lot to do with how many times we are called out.”

She said the harsh winter, followed by a wet spring and summer, is the most likely cause of fewer instances of being called out.

“We just don’t get as many calls for animals at large in bad weather,” she said.

She said the reason is people are not outside in inclement weather so they don’t come in contact with strays or lost animals as often, and homeowners typically keep a closer eye on their animals when the temperatures are lower.

Will County announces it received a paratransit grant SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – Paratransit services in Will County recently got a leg up thanks to the Northeastern Illinois Agency on Aging.

Will County has received a $139,261 grant from the NIAA in support of the Will-Ride transit program, the county announced last week in a news release.

This grant will help fund the paratransit services already available to the elderly, disabled, and low-income residents in the county, Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said.

“The announcement of these grants funds to Will County is a great step forward as we continue to improve coordination of services among several communities across the county,” Walsh said in the news release. “Safe, accessible, reliable transportation is critical to preserving quality of life for some of our most vulnerable residents. We are fortunate to receive this grant to help

maintain this service.”

Through Will County’s partnerships with the suburban bus agency Pace Bus and townships in eastern and central Will County, more than 900 trips are provided to local residents every month.

Paratransit services are critical to the region because the limited services currently available, according to the news release. Will County has increased the transit options in these underserved areas through coordinated efforts.

“For too long, residents in eastern Will County felt disconnected from other parts of Will County,” Walsh said in the news release. “This was largely due to the inability of many of our residents to get from one area to another if they did not own their own vehicle.”

The county’s long-term goal is to give residents in all areas of the county access to existing fixed route rail and bus lines, along with expanded access to jobs, health care and other venues throughout the region, according to the news release.

GARDNER – Morris Hospital will soon have a new health care center in Gardner at 409 N. Route 53.

The 2,200-square-foot medical office building being built is on the same property that houses the Southeastern Grundy Medical Center building, where Morris Hospital has been a tenant for the past 17 years, according to a news release from the hospital.

Open house introduces teens to aviation careers

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Teens will be able to learn Tuesday what it’s like to have a career in aviation.

The Rainbow Council Boy Scouts of America and Lewis University will host an open house to offer teens activities focused on aviation careers, as well as a chance to participate in hands-on experiences with industry professionals and experts.

The event will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Lewis University’s Aviation Department.

The open house will be Boy Scouts of America’s newest Career Exploring Post 1932.

The career education program is for teens who are at least 14 – and completed eighth grade – or 15 but not yet 21.

According to BSA, the Career Exploring Post provides experiences to help young people to become responsible and give them a preview of potential career fields before heading to a higher education institution.

“The idea with the Career Exploring Post is to get [youths] experience with different career fields that they

otherwise wouldn’t experience before,” said Joshua Jansen, Rainbow Council BSA district executive.

The aviation exploring event will expose teens to aviation professions such as pilots, aircraft mechanics, flight engineers, avionics technicians, air traffic controllers and flight attendants.

The event combines some classroom training with flying lessons.

Participants will develop flying skills, learn aviation protocols and leadership methods. They also will understand professional teamwork, partic-

Joliet Police Explorers fare well at competition in Illinois

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The students are doing well in hostage negotiation.

The Joliet Police Explorers, a group for teens and young adults to learn about law enforcement, received several awards at the state conference last month, including a firstplace finish in Hostage Negotiation.

“There are different competitions where police officers and professionals judge the Explorers on practicing traffic stops, CSI, domestic violence investigations and tactical emergency medical support [TEMS],” said Sgt. Andrew Jose, who supervises the program for the department.

Eight-grade graduates from 14- to 21-years old who are interested in a police or military career can join the Explorers.

Thirty-seven Explorer posts competed at the state conference.

“Everyone on the team had different jobs for hostage negotiation – from making contact to writing things down on the board,” Jose said.

Joliet Explorers also took second place in the Drill and

According to Jose, there

are about 25 boys and 15 girls in the department’s Explorer post.

“The program has been a very visible in terms of outreach, especially to improve the relationship between the police and the younger community,” Police Chief Brian Benton said. “They get some insight into law enforcement and it gives them a foundation of skills to have for us or another department.”

Benton said plans are underway to offer additional points when Explorers test for police hiring.

Leon Gorman, L.L. Bean’s grandson and company leader, dies 21 FREEPORT, Maine – Leon Gorman, a grandson of L.L. Bean who led a modernization and expansion of the outdoors retailer after the founder’s death, died Thursday. He was 80.

Gorman, who died in his Yarmouth home surrounded by family after battling cancer, led the Maine-based com-

ue and customer service and gave back to the state as a community volunteer and philanthropist.

“He was a boss, mentor, coach, community leader, dear friend and inspiration.

Most importantly, he was the most decent human being you would ever want to meet. We will miss him greatly,” said Chris McCormick, the company’s current president and CEO.

Gorman, an outdoorsman like his grandfather, was a key figure in the state’s conservation movement, helping preserve the Appalachian Trail’s 100-mile wilderness, a 4,000-acre addition to Baxter State Park and 185,000 acres along the St. John River. Last year, he donated Lanes Island, an old L.L. Bean hunting preserve in Casco Bay, to the Maine Coast Heritage Trust.

He wasn’t afraid to roll

up his sleeves when it came to volunteering. He quietly served for 12 years as a volunteer at a soup kitchen in Portland, making scrambled eggs and French toast for the homeless every Wednesday morning.

“Values are fine but it’s what you do with them that counts, to borrow from Robert Frost,” Gorman wrote in his book, “L.L. Bean: The Making of an American Icon.”

Gordon was a skilled welder and a member of Pipe Fitters’ Local Union 597. He had a talent for mechanics and enjoyed working on his own vehicles as well as generously helping a friend or neighbor getting their cars back in working order. He graduated from North Central Bible College and lived out his faith as a compassionate and caring man who truly enjoyed people.

He was an accomplished musician and was gifted with being able to play the clarinet as if he had had years of training although he only had but a few professional lessons.

Gordon was the owner and pilot of a Ercoupe Aircraft spending many hours in the sky. He had a desire for knowledge and read a myriad of books to satisfy his craving for understanding, comprehension and resourcefulness. Gordon M. Smith will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, neighbor and friend.

Memorial donations may be directed to Morning Star Mission or to the favorite charity of the donor.

Relative charged in accidental shooting of Chicago boy

CHICAGO – Authorities have filed charges against a Rockford man accused of fatally shooting an 11-year-old relative by accident at a home in Chicago.

Ninteen-year-old Eurel Wilford has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. He was scheduled to appear in bond court Saturday.

The victim, Antwone J. Price, was shot in the abdomen Wednesday night in the Park Manor neighborhood.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Wilford told police his younger relative found a handgun in the street and that the gun went off when he tried to grab it from the boy.

It was not immediately clear if Wilford had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

Illinois transit chief gives tough review of state planning

CHICAGO – Illinois’ transportation chief delivered a tough review of the state’s capacity to solve problems this week, saying he’s concerned that it’s planning “for yesterday’s transportation system.”

Randy Blankenhorn, who’s served as the secretary of the Illinois Department of Transportation for seven months, cited traffic congestion and sluggish movement of freight as examples of Illinois being too focused on the condition of state roads and bridges, instead of looking at the bigger picture of moving people and goods across the state more efficiently.

In order for government officials to “think about transportation in a completely new and different way,” they need to create a stron-

ger public-private partnership, Blankenhorn said Wednesday at the City Club of Chicago.

“IDOT is not going to come up with the solution. It is going to be you,” he told the audience, which mainly consisted of transportation industry professionals.

Blankenhorn is a veteran transportation expert who was appointed in January to lead the Illinois Department of Transportation by Gov. Bruce Rauner, the Chicago Tribune reported. He previously had been the executive director of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning since its inception in 2006.

Illinois adding collections to national digital library

SPRINGFIELD – Collections from libraries across Illinois will soon be added to the nation’s online

library.

Secretary of State Jesse White – who’s also the state librarian – announced Friday the Illinois State Library will become a “service hub” for the Digital Public Library of America.

The digital library was launched in 2013. It includes almost 11 million books, historical records and images from museums, libraries and archives across the U.S. Users may access the materials online for free.

White said the Illinois State Library will work with the Chicago Public Library, the University of Illinois and academic and research libraries to contribute collections to the digital library. They’ll be available in early 2016.

White said putting items online will ensure future generations “will have more convenient access to Illinois’ rich history.”

Fire forces Second City to move or cancel shows

CHICAGO – Second City CEO Andrew Alexander said the Chicago improv comedy troupe is canceling all performances scheduled through Sept. 20 because of a fire that destroyed its offices.

Alexander said Friday that though its Mainstage, e.t.c. Stage and UP Comedy Club theaters were in good condition after the fire, carpet, wiring and lighting have to be replaced because of smoke damage. He said the target date for reopening in the troupe’s Piper’s Alley complex in the Old Town neighborhood is Sept. 21.

The August 26 fire that started in the kitchen of a restaurant next door to the comedy theater reached the offices through vents in the building, but did not reach

the theaters.

Since the fire, Second City classes have been held off-site at various theaters and businesses.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Lab reports violations of hazardous waste permit

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – An extensive review at one of the nation’s premier federal laboratories has turned up violations in how the lab handled hundreds of containers of radioactive waste over the past decade.

The latest revelations are on top of the permit violations Los Alamos National Laboratory first reported last year in the wake of a radiation release at the federal government’s underground nuclear waste dump in southern New Mexico.

That release was caused by a container that had been inappropriately packed at Los Alamos. The incident forced the indefinite closure of the repository, leaving in limbo the cleanup of decades’ worth of plutonium-contaminated waste at defense sites around the country. The price tag for resuming operations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is expected to top a half-billion dollars.

The lab reviewed more than 200 variations of the procedures that have been used between October 2005 and May 2014 to decontaminate about 10,000 containers of waste.

Vast California fire to rage through weekend

FRESNO, Calif. – A vast and stubborn wildfire that has proven California’s biggest this year was expect to spew smoke through the long Labor Day weekend,

leaving some campgrounds empty and prompting health warnings.

The fire that has burned 130 square miles east of Fresno is just one factor that has challenged people planning outdoor activities in recent weeks, officials said Friday.

An infestation of bugs swarmed high-desert communities on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada.

No union mines left in Kentucky

HARLAN, Ky. – Kentucky coal miners bled and died to unionize.

Their workplaces became war zones, and gun battles once punctuated union protests. In past decades, organizers have been beaten, stabbed and shot while seeking better pay and safer conditions deep underground.

But more recently, the United Mine Workers in Kentucky have been in retreat, dwindling like the black seams of coal in the Appalachian mountains.

And now the last union mine in Kentucky has been shut down.

Hard-fought gains are taken for granted by younger workers who earn high wages now, leading the coal industry to argue that the union ultimately rendered itself obsolete. But union leaders and retirees counter that anti-union operators, tightening environmental regulations and a turbulent coal market hastened the union’s demise in Kentucky.

Lake County Major Crimes Task Force Commander George Filenko briefs the media Friday in Fox Lake.

A growing collection of video evidence, a large and growing reward and a dedicated FBI tip line are the latest tools investigators unveiled Friday afternoon in their search for three suspects alleged to have shot and killed a Fox Lake police lieutenant.

‘Significant’ new evidence found in Fox Lake cop slaying The ASSOCIATED PRESS FOX LAKE – Authorities investigating the slaying of a northern Illinois police officer say they’ve recovered a new piece of “significant” evidence from the crime scene.

Evidence technicians returning to the scene of Tuesday’s shooting in the village of Fox Lake made the discovery Friday afternoon, said Lake County Sheriff’s Office detective Christopher Covelli.

He refused to reveal what it was, citing the ongoing investigation.

“They’ve been going back to the scene on a daily basis with a fresh set of eyes,” he told The Associated Press Saturday.

Police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz was slain Tuesday while pursuing three suspicious men on foot in a marshy area of the lakeside community.

Investigators gathering evidence have faced the challenge of working at a site over-

“The guys had to go out and buy machetes and weed whackers, and they’ve been chopping this stuff out of the way and turning over every leaf and did locate something that will be significant down the road,” Covelli said.

Covelli also said Saturday that FBI technicians piecing together several videos that

are part of the investigation have told detectives some of the images line up with the description Gliniewicz gave dispatchers of the men.

“I think we’re getting closer to identifying somebody that we’re going to want to talk to,” he said.

Residents and businesses have come forward with some of the videos.

To-do list awaits Congress Tuesday The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Congress returns on Tuesday with a critical need for a characteristic rarely evident through a contentious spring and summer – cooperation between Republicans and President Barack Obama.

Lawmakers face a weighty list of unfinished business and looming deadlines, including a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open beyond Sept. 30. The most intractable issues – a solution to a yearlong battle over agency budgets and a deal on a long-sought highway bill – have been kicked to the fall.

“It’s going to take a sense of give and take on both sides,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla. “The big deal will be, ‘Can you come to a deal on transportation, debt ceiling and avoiding sequester?’ So a large budget deal will determine, I think, whether or not we’ve really been successful.”

Automatic budget cuts called sequestration are the result of a hard-fought deal Obama signed in a 2011.

GOP leaders are playing down talk of a government shutdown that’s being driven by conservatives determined to use the spending legislation to strip funds from Planned Parenthood.

The organization is under intense scrutiny after secretly recorded videos raised uncomfortable questions about its practices in procuring research tissue from aborted fetuses.

Cole said passing a shortterm spending bill will not be “a contention-free exercise.”

The first days for Congress will be marked by a fierce debate over the nuclear deal with Iran that Republicans insist makes too many concessions to Tehran. Democrats have rallied behind the president and have already demonstrated they have the votes to sustain a promised Obama veto of a resolution challenging the hard-won agreement.

Also on the crowded fall agenda are efforts to increase

the government’s borrowing authority and avoid a first-ever federal default; extend some 50 tax breaks; pass a defense policy bill that Obama has threatened to veto; and renew the Federal Aviation Administration’s authority to spend money.

A historic address to Congress by Pope Francis on Sept. 24 promises a welcome respite from the partisanship that has gripped the Capitol for most of the year.

Some tea party lawmakers have said they will only back legislation to keep the government open in the new budget year, which begins Oct. 1, if the measure also terminates Planned Parenthood’s federal money – even if their battle with Obama over the issue should spiral into a government shutdown.

“I’m for doing everything” to halt funds for Planned Parenthood, said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. “There is no way they can get taxpayer support.”

Conservative groups such as Heritage Action are backing the strategy, though establishment anti-abortion organizations aren’t throwing their influence behind it.

Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the powerful National Right to Life Committee, said recently that while blocking Planned Parenthood’s funds “makes sense,” the Senate lacks the votes to do so and abortions would continue anyway. He said lawmakers also should focus on bills halting abortions.

“We just don’t have the votes to get the outcome that we’d like,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told a Kentucky television station last week. He called ending Planned Parenthood’s funding “another issue that awaits a new president.”

Past efforts to use mustpass funding bills to block Obama’s health care law and his executive actions on immigration have failed badly, with the heath law dispute resulting in a partial government shutdown in 2013.

Clinton says family paid State Dept. employee for email work

By THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that her family paid a State Department employee to maintain the private email server she used while secretary of state and compensated him “for a period of time” for his technical skills.

After picking up the endorsement of New Hampshire’s senior senator, Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, Clinton was again pressed to answer questions about an issue from her time in the Obama Cabinet that has dogged her presidential candidacy.

“We obviously paid for those services and did so because during a period of time we continued to need his technical assistance,” the Democratic front-runner told reporters after a campaign event.

Last week, that employee, Bryan Pagliano, told a House committee that he would invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination if called to testify.

Last month, Clinton gave

the FBI the server, kept in her New York home, that she used to send, receive and store emails while secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. Clinton has said she set up her own system, instead of using a State Department account, for the convenience of using a single handheld email device.

Clinton told reporters Saturday that she did not think the revelation about Pagliano’s payment would hurt her campaign and she encouraged “anyone who is asked to cooperate” with the committee to do so.

After a stop at a bookstore, Clinton spoke to more than 200 people at a union reception in Manchester to seek support from leading New Hampshire labor activists. She hinted at the themes of a speech she is scheduled to give Wednesday in Washington defending the Obama administration’s nuclear agreement with Iran, which she called “the best alternative we have.”

“Our strength should be measured in what we prevent, what good things we make happen and how we bring others to

our side in dealing with some of these challenges we’re confronting,” Clinton said, referring to Iran’s nuclear program and the rise of Islamic State militants.

In an interview with NBC News that aired Friday, Clinton said her use of the private email system wasn’t the “best choice” and acknowledged she didn’t “stop and think” about her email setup when she took over at the State Department.

She did not apologize for her decision when asked directly, “Are you sorry?” Instead, she again said she wishes she had “made a different choice” and that she takes responsibility for the decision to use a private email account and server based at her home in suburban New York.

She added it was a choice that should not raise questions about her judgment.

Republicans criticized Clinton’s unwillingness to apologize for the decision and said it underscored polls that have shown large numbers of people questioning her trustworthiness.

Obama to award arts medals to Sally Field, Stephen King

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Actress Sally Field and author Stephen King are among luminaries set to receive a National Medal of Arts or a National Humanities Medal from President Barack Obama.

Obama will bestow the honors on 18 people and three institutions during a White House ceremony Thursday.

Field is receiving an arts medal for showing dignity, empathy and fearlessness in performances that have touched audiences worldwide, as well as for showing those same qualities in her off-screen advocacy for women, LGBT rights and public health.

King also is receiving an

arts medal for combining storytelling with analysis of human nature, and for thrilling readers through decades of work.

Alice Waters, chef-owner of the organic restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, is receiving a National Humanities Medal for her work as a champion of a holistic approach to eating and health.

The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities were created by Congress in 1965 to provide grants to support artistic excellence and creativity, and to advance the understanding and appreciation of history, literature, philosophy and language.

Both independent agencies are celebrating their 50th anniversaries this year.

Annual pillow fight at West Point turns violent; 30 injured The ASSOCIATED PRESS WEST POINT, N.Y. – An annual freshman pillow fight at the U.S. Military Academy turned bloody this year when cadets swung pillowcases packed with hard objects, injuring 30 cadets, according to a newspaper report.

Two dozen cadets suffered concussions in the Aug. 20 bedding melee, though all have since returned to duty, West Point spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Kasker told The New York Times.

While photos and video of the episode have circulated online for some time, West Point officials didn’t confirm what had happened until Thursday, the newspaper reported. The phone rang unanswered Saturday at the academy’s press office.

First-year students, known as “plebes,” organize the pil-

low fight as a way to build camaraderie after a grueling summer of training for the rigors of West Point, Kasker told the Times. The elite academy has trained generations of Army leaders and counts U.S. Presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower among its graduates.

“West Point applauds the cadets’ desire to build esprit and regrets the injuries,” Kasker said, adding that the school is investigating what happened. No cadets have been punished thus far.

He said upperclassmen overseeing the fight required cadets to wear helmets. However, online video showed many bare heads.

Investigators stand near an abandoned truck Aug. 27 on the shoulder of Highway A4 near Parndorf, Austria, south of Vienna. Officials discovered 71 badly decomposed bodies of men, women and children, inside and that some may never be identified. people have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe this year.

More than 2,800 have died, or are lost and presumed dead, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Only about a third of the bodies recovered are ever identified, said Frank Laczko, head of the IOM’s Global Migration

Data Analysis Center in Berlin.

“If each person has 10 relatives, that’s close to 30,000 people who are affected,” Laczko said. Besides the emotional pain, survivors must cope with legal issues such as property ownership to the right to remarry.

U.S. warns Russia against more aid to Assad amid new violence

By SARAH EL DEEB The Associated Press BEIRUT – Anti-government violence erupted Saturday in a southern Syrian province that had largely stayed on the sidelines of the country’s civil war.

Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports suggesting that Russia was planning to expand its military support for Syrian President Bashar Assad prompted a warning from the U.S. that such actions could lead to a confrontation with coalition forces.

The violence in Sweida province, a stronghold of the Druze minority sect, followed the killing of a prominent cleric in rare explosions Friday that claimed the lives of at least 25 others, activists and pro-government media said. Rioters holding the government responsible for

the cleric’s death destroyed the statue of late Syrian President Hafez Al-Assad and besieged security offices, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and other activist groups said.

In Washington, the State Department issued a statement after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to express concern over unconfirmed reports “suggesting an imminent enhanced Russian military build-up” in Syria.

While not elaborating on or confirming the accuracy of those reports, the State Department said Kerry made clear to Lavrov that such actions “could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation” with

the anti-Islamic State coalition operating led by the U.S. that is carrying out strikes in Syria.

Russia has been a stalwart ally of Assad throughout Syria’s civil war and has provided diplomatic support and weaponry to help the Syrian leader maintain his grip on power.

Moscow also maintains a small naval facility at the Syrian port of Tartous on the Mediterranean Sea. The cleric killed Friday, Sheik Wahid Balous, was a prominent critic of Assad and had called on youth in Sweida province to refuse to serve in the military. He was also a critic of the Islamic State militants who have taken over a third of the country and are fueling the civil war that has killed more than 250,000 people and wounded more than 1 million.

Balous, who was a strong supporter of rebels trying to topple Assad, died in one of two consecutive car bomb explosions, including one near the National Hospital in Sweida.

The Observatory said the death toll rose Saturday to 37, including six security personnel killed in clashes with rioters. The city had witnessed large rallies in the days before the explosions against the failure of the government to provide basic services. Activists reported that there was no Internet service for the past few days.

Syria’s official news agency and other activist groups put the death toll from the blasts at 26. There was no immediate claim of responsibly for the bombings.

The Syrian government

called the blasts “cowardly terrorist acts.” A police commander in the city, Mohammed Samra, said Sweida was “calm and stable” and denied any unrest, saying reports of anti-government violence were aimed at undermining security in the area.

Some of Balous’ supporters said in a statement they will expel security forces from Sweida province, which until now has largely stayed out of the fighting in Syria’s civil war.

City elders appealed for calm, warning against attempts to drag the province toward violence.

Another statement from the city’s Druze leaders urged supporters to be patient as the cleric’s brother, who was seriously wounded in the attack, recovers.

MILAN – Adal Neguse, an Eritrean immigrant whose brother drowned in a smuggler’s boat while trying to reach Italy in 2013, knows all too well what might be in store for the relatives of those dying now in similar accidents in the Mediterranean.

Months of anguish over whether their loved one’s body will be found.

The emotional pain of looking at photos of badly disfigured corpses.

Red tape and wasted time with bureaucrats who “just talk and talk” but don’t keep their promises.

As record numbers of desperate people from the Middle East, Africa and Asia flood into Europe, hundreds also are dying in risky journeys arranged by unscrupulous smugglers, and authorities are struggling to identify those victims.

When the body of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach along with those of his mother and brother, he came to represent others who also have perished trying to seek a better life. But unlike the young Syrian refugee, many of them remain anonymous and unclaimed.

As of Sept. 1, at least 364,000

scores of bodies from two boats that sank off the coast.

In a commercial disaster like a plane crash, authorities have passenger manifests, electronic tickets, credit card records and data from travel agencies to work with. But human traffickers understandably usually keep no records when they arrange passage to Europe for those paying cash, so there are no emergency contacts and no way to contact relatives. And many refugees carry no ID. Laczko said his agency wants a Europe-wide database for families to provide information about missing relatives and for authorities to distribute details about bodies they have found. He also wants far more attention paid to mining data from cellphones found on victims.

In the case of the truck ditched in Austria, experts are studying documents found with the dead but also have taken their fingerprints, DNA samples and dental information, in addition to data from 10 cellphones, police spokesman Helmut Marban said.

A hotline with Arabic, English and German speakers received more than 100 calls in its first two days. The victims included Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan refugees, police said Friday, but no identities have been established.

Japan lifts evacuation order for town near doomed nuke plant

By MARI YAMAGUCHI The Associated Press NARAHA, Japan – Japan’s government Saturday lifted a 4½-year-old evacuation order for the northeastern town of Naraha that had sent all of the town’s 7,400 residents away after the disaster at the nearby Fukushima nuclear plant.

Naraha became the first to get the order lifted among seven municipalities forced to empty entirely because of radiation contamination after the massive earthquake and tsunami that sent the plant’s reactors into triple meltdowns in March 2011.

The central government has said radiation levels in Naraha have fallen to levels deemed safe following decontamination efforts.

According to a government survey, however, 53 percent of the evacuees from Naraha, which is 12 miles south of the nuclear plant, said they’re either not ready to return home permanently or are undecided.

Some said they’ve found jobs elsewhere over the past few years, while others cite radiation concerns.

Naraha represents a test case, as most residents remain cautious amid lingering health concerns and a lack of infrastructure. In the once-abandoned town, a segment of a national railway is still out of service, with the tracks covered with grass. Some hous-

es are falling down and wild boars roam around at night.

Only about 100 of the nearly 2,600 households have returned since a trial period began in April. Last year, the government lifted evacuation orders for parts of two nearby towns, but only about half of their former residents have returned.

Naraha Mayor Yukiei Matsumoto said Saturday marked an important milestone.

“Our clock started moving again,” he said during a ceremony held at a children’s park.

“The lifting of the evacuation order is one key step, but this is just a start.”

Matsumoto said he hoped Naraha could set a good example of a recovering town for the other affected municipalities.

About 100,000 people from about 10 municipalities around the wrecked plant still cannot go home. The government hopes to lift all evacuation orders except for the most contaminated areas closest to the plant by March 2017 – a plan many evacuees criticize as an attempt to showcase Fukushima’s recovery ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

Matsumoto said that fear of radiation and nuclear safety was still present, and that Naraha had a long way to go in its recovery. The town will be without a medical clinic until October, while a new prefectural hospital won’t be ready until February.

Inquiring about investing in three utility stocks Dear Mr. Berko: I have been reading your column for 30 years and want to comment before asking a question. When you criticize the American consumers, as you did when at The Chicago Forum on Global Cities, it sounds like a put-down. I was miffed when you said that Americans are “stupid” consumers – that they borrow to excess and that most don’t know how to manage their cash flow. And your comments about our garages were offensive. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but it would go down better if you were more forgiving. After all, Americans have the most successful economy in the world. Please accept this as positive criticism; otherwise I love your column.

Now, I have $23,000 to invest and need your recommendation of three utility stocks for growth and income.

Thank you in advance for your answer and all the good help you’ve given to your readers. – CS, Joliet Dear CS: Thank you for your

soft criticism, although I sense my remarks scored a bull’seye. I doubt that the following comments, excerpted from my speech, were overboard or offensive: “Americans purchase and own more junk than any other nation on earth. We are the only people who will borrow $35,000 for a new car and then park it in the driveway or on the front lawn. It’s parked there because the garage is stuffed with crap that’s packed tighter than pickles in a jar.

Your smelly garage or your neighbor’s garage is probably crammed with an old TV set, boxes of used clothes, broken bicycles, a boat trailer, a gas generator, old tires, a clothes dryer, plumbing fixtures, engine parts, a stereo and speakers, stacks of magazines, and numerous pieces of furniture. At $13.5 trillion, the U.S. has the highest aggregate household debt in the world, and looking into those garages, there’s no reason to wonder why. Japan ranks second, with $3 trillion, followed by China at $2.5 trillion and the U.K. at

VIEWS Malcolm Berko $2 trillion. Americans are certainly the most irresponsible consumers in the industrialized world and may be the dumbest investors, too.”

I apologize if you think I am off base.

and dividend growth over the coming four years is expected

by Argus Financial Services, UBS and Thomson Reuters.

The price consensus is $90 in the next three years. Earnings could come in at $5.50, and the dividend could reach $3.75.

PPL Corp.’s (PPL-$30.13) dividend of $1.49 yields 4.9 percent, but the shares have been moribund during the past seven years. However, Jefferies, Morningstar and Barclays have reason to believe that PPL is turning the corner. They suggest that PPL’s acquisition of Louisville Gas and Electric Co. and Kentucky Utilities Co. will finally add some juice to its earnings and dividends. Meanwhile, expected rate hikes in its Pennsylvania service could bring an extra profit of $167 million to the bottom line. The 2018-19 consensus suggests that PPL will grow revenues to $14.3 billion (up 11 percent), that share earnings could register $2.70 (up from $2.30) and that the dividend could be raised to $1.65. Morningstar thinks PPL

will trade at $40 in the coming three to four years.

NextEra Energy (NEE$96.10), of which Florida Power & Light is the principal subsidiary, pays a $3.08 dividend, which yields 3.2 percent, and that dividend has increased every year since 1995. Revenue and book value growth has been almost as attractive, and significant expansion in the Florida economy will put more zip-a-dee-doo-dah in NEE’s performance.

The recent acquisition of Hawaiian Electric will add $3 billion in revenues and $170 million in profits to NEE’s income statement. Credit Suisse, Raymond James Financial and J.P. Morgan are bullish on NEE and believe there are 20 more points in the stock, plus excellent dividend increases over the next three to four years.

OUR VIEW

Building a Frankenbudget in Springfield Our state deserves better than the Frankenbudget state lawmakers are trying to cobble together one spending bill at a time in Springfield.

But that’s not going to happen without public pressure, and that pressure is exactly what these piecemeal spending bills are designed to relieve.

One measure that already has passed the Illinois Senate and awaiting action in the House would authorize spending $343 million to fund Monetary Assistance Program grants.

The grants are awarded to students with financial need

who attend Illinois colleges and universities. Last year, the state paid out more than $357 million in grants to more than 128,000 students. The grants help cover the cost of students’ tuition.

Many officials, including Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs, are calling for the Illinois House to pass a measure that would authorize $343 million in spending for MAP grants, which would help students stay in school and aid universities and colleges that thus far have received no state aid.

We agree with Frerichs that the program is import-

ant. But then, everything the state spends money on is supposed to be important.

Social services are important.

State museums and parks are important. Road construction is important.

How many more special spending bills will our Legislature pass before our state has built a de facto budget, with the sum of its cobbled together parts even larger than the budget that legislators proposed – and Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed – in June.

Already, Illinois Senate Democrats SAID that almost 90 percent of what the state would normally pay out is be-

ing spent anyway, as a result of court orders and consent decrees, required spending and other agreements.

Already, many measures have been taken to relieve public pressure to pass a budget.

Rauner signed a measure to spend $10.8 billion on public education so that children could begin the school year on time. Federal “pass-through” funds totaling $5 billion were distributed.

If the state agrees to spend another $343 million for MAP grants, the people who rely on them will be mollified, leaving one less group to demand leg-

islators and the governor pass a spending plan.

Rauner has said he would veto the MAP spending bill, and that’s the right decision.

There needs to be compromise between the governor and the Legislature, and it will take public pressure to make that happen. Without some wide-reaching effects of not having a state budget, there will be no public pressure.

We want students to receive the money they have been promised. They should receive it, however, after a complete and balanced budget has been approved.

GUEST VIEW

What happened at Lincoln-Way School District 210?

The last Community Night at Lincoln-Way North is over. The annual Black vs.

Gold football scrimmage was played, and the game was attended by the pageantry that kicks off any high school football season.

All the athletic teams were introduced before the game and they walked across the field to the applause of family, friends, students and school staff.

The field was lit by a low sun in the late summer sky.

Here were the soccer teams, baseball and softball teams, volleyball and golf, basketball and track, and all the other teams that comprise the athletic program at LWN. The marching band was there, too, performing their new show. All were met with roars of approval and encouragement.

The school board voted to close Lincoln-Way North because the projected population growth and tax base

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

never materialized. Next year, the district will shrink to three schools. Student populations will shift to the other high schools. The LW-N Phoenix will be gone, and there will be three teams for all sports where there were once four.

Lincoln-Way North is in unincorporated Frankfort Township. There is no Village Hall, no mayor, and no trustees. The local schools, especially the high school, are at the center of our community. The academics at LWN are outstanding. Many of our students go on to thrive in college, well prepared for their new endeavors.

Financial problems became public this year. As recently as May, we were told that talk of a school closing were just rumors: “Amongst us as board members, administration, in board packets, there has never been any discussion of closing a school. … It’s tough, people will surmise what they

want to surmise. It’s so difficult to hear this. Hurtful stuff to the kids, to the teachers,” SD210 School Board President Kevin Molloy said in the May 5, 2015, edition of the New Lenox Patch.

But now the board has voted to close our school.

What changed between May and August? How did “hurtful stuff,” a few months ago, turn into a school being closed?

Lincoln-Way School District 210 received Financial Early Warning status from the state of Illinois, as far back as 2006. Did this help lead to the current financial problems? Since the school board represents the taxpayers, it’s difficult to understand why these problems weren’t disclosed.

The board said the problem is the state’s failure to pay its fair share to education.

Most other districts in the state would agree, but they’re not closing a wonderful, new

high school. There could be another school closing in our future if finances continue to deteriorate.

The question of which of the four schools should be closed was hotly debated.

Mostly, the other options were Lincoln-Way West or Lincoln-Way Central.

Lincoln-Way West is new, but closing the 60-year-old Lincoln-Way Central became a serious topic.

Now there are reports of large $200,000 water bills at Lincoln-Way Central. Board member Chris McFadden said that closing Central was not a good option because: “To reopen Central in the future, there would be massive costs to bring the school up to code.”

Are renovations needed at Lincoln-Way Central? If so, how much will they cost?

What is the true condition of the school? Does the board have plans that they are not discussing in public? Will

we hear about expensive, necessary repairs after North closes? Can this school board answer these questions when they were so wrong on other important issues?

The taxpayers of Lincoln-Way SD 210 deserve answers to these questions, and the best start would be an independent audit of the district finances for the past 10 years.

Taxpayers are responsible for a quarter of a billion dollars to pay for these new buildings, and we deserve to know what happened.

The school board has torn the fabric of our community. The board might close Lincoln-Way North, but the building, whatever name it takes, will become a reminder of poor leadership for as long as it stands.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Larry Walsh Jr. State Representative for the 86th District of the Illinois House

Cut the frills in government spending

To the Editor: We all know how much we need education. But our educators – the bosses – are overdoing it.

• Sunday, September 6, 2015

To the Editor: I understand how the plague of heroin has resulted in far too many mothers and fathers having to bury their children. In many communities, it is easier for teenagers to get access to this drug than alcohol. This is why I am disappointed in Gov. Bruce Rauner’s amendatory veto of landmark legislation I supported this year to combat this deadly disease. Thankfully, I joined with a bipartisan group of legislators to override the governor’s veto.

As heroin continues to be a devastating problem across much of Illinois, the steps taken in Will County has resulted in lives being saved. The leadership shown by local leaders to equip law enforcement officers with life-saving medication has been instrumental in reducing the number of fatalities from 53 in 2012 to 33 in 2014.

The governor’s veto would mean those who are most vulnerable to addiction will be blocked from accessing emergency care.

I believe the governor’s decision in valuing dollars over lives was extremely short-sighted. Last year alone, more than 600 people in Illinois died from overdosing on heroin. Cutting off thousands of Illinoisans from medication and treatment will only lead to more dependency and death. Not only will getting users the help they need save lives, but will also save the state over $58 million in Medicaid spending.

I would like to thank both Democratic and Republican legislators who took the compassionate and responsible vote to save lives and protect children in our community from heroin.

OPINION | The Herald-News

Governor’s veto over heroin legislation short-sighted

The two ex-governors spoiled our education system, and state and national government did also.

To spend more than $20 million on bilingual education is a shame when our state and national government are hurting our veterans, especially the disabled, and also our senior citizens who tried to make this country great.

Congress is digging the graves for us while they spend our hard-earned money.

Why are the educators so interested in child care, preschool, etc, when more than 16 million children go hungry, according to Dr. Phil. And Meals on Wheels can’t feed our downand-out senior citizens.

Kids, sure, are important, but not at the expense of our grade and high school students. We turned out OK without preschool and child care, etc.

Lawmakers should get us out of the hole and help our governor cut the frills and bring back

decent government.

PREP FOOTBALL: WILMINGTON 20, COAL CITY 16

Wildcats outlast Coalers in thriller Area football scoreboard

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – When Coal City and Wilmington get together on the football field, it’s always one to remember.

Friday night’s game, though, might live on in the annals of the rivalry longer than most.

Not only was the game a close battle between two evenly matched teams, but it ended on a play that no one seemed able to fully explain.

With 5.4 seconds remaining, Wilmington faced fourthand-3 and had to punt, leading 20-16 because of a 19-yard touchdown run by Nick Hawkins – his third score of the night – on fourth-and-5 at the 3:54 mark. Wilmington punter Keaten Hansen booted the ball and it bounced and rolled to near the Coal City 30.

Then, things got nuts.

With Wilmington players heading to the sideline thinking the game was over and teammates coming to the field to celebrate, Coal City’s Danny Kroeger ran and picked up the ball, which was still live. He ran away from the Wilmington sideline across the field toward his own, got a big block from teammate Brad Littleton and turned the corner. He made it to the Wilmington 30 before being wrapped up and pitched the ball backward. Teammate Brock Crawford picked it up, but was tackled at the 25.

At that point, the Coal City coaching staff was pointing out that Wilmington had too many players on the field, and the officials huddled. It appeared that Coal City would get an untimed down, but a personal foul was called on the Coalers and the game was over.

“It’s frustrating because they had too many players on the field,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said. “It’s not that hard of a call. But we didn’t lose the game on the last play. There were plenty of other things we can look at that we could have done differently.

“But I think this definitely lit a fire under us. I know the coaches are fired up.”

“Nick is a special back.

He’s one of the most determined guys we’ve ever had here.”

Jeff Reents Wilmington coach

Wilmington’s quarterback Jeff Tresadman looks down field against Coal City on Friday at Wilmington High School.

The Coalers (1-1) and Wildcats (2-0) were fired up from the outset. Wilmington received the opening kickoff, but fumbled on the first play from scrimmage and Coal City’s Mike Pampuch recovered at the Wildcat 34.

On Coal City’s first play, the Wilmington defense forced a fumble and the Wildcats got

the ball right back. Five plays later, Hawkins, who finished with 176 yards on 20 carries, broke loose for a 44-yard touchdown run and Alex Hatten’s kick made it 7-0.

“At the start, the ball was damp and the emotions were high,” Onsen said. “Both teams were geared up and then, boom, boom, there’s a

couple of fumbles. But both teams settle down and battled to the very last play.”

Late in the first quarter, Coal City picked up a first down on third-and-19 on a 25yard pass from Nick Micetich to Brad Littleton and carried that momentum into the second quarter. Brad Chunovic capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run and Littleton’s kick tied the score. After the Coal City defense forced a Wilmington punt, Kroeger returned the kick 31 yards to the Wilmington 24, setting up a 29-yard field goal by Littleton that gave the Coalers a 10-7 lead.

After another Wildcat punt, Micetich hit Littleton on a fade route on third-and-9.

Littleton broke a tackle and ran the remaining distance untouched for a 65-yard

touchdown. The kick was wide, but the Coalers led, 16-7, a lead they took into halftime.

“We really played well in the first half,” Onsen said.

“But there are still some things we need to get better at. This is a tough loss. Now, we will see what these kids are made of.

“This game is a good measuring stick for us. It shows us what we’ve really got, and we’re pretty evenly matched with Wilmington.”

After halftime, Wilmington’s offense picked up, and Hawkins scored midway through the third quarter on a 43-yard run to make it 16-14 before his game-winning run with 3:54 to play.

“Nick is a special back,” Wilmington coach Jeff Reents said. “He’s one of the most determined guys we’ve ever had here.

“The big thing for us was halftime. We were taking it on the chin in the first half, and it was gut-check time.

We made the plays we had to at the end. I think this game makes both teams better. We root for the Coalers the rest of the season, except for this one game.”

PREP FOOTBALL: JOLIET WEST 21, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 6

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, September 6, 2015

JOLIET – Joliet West is a talented offensive football team.

Plainfield South coach Ken Bublitz stressed that point Friday night after his Cougars dropped a 21-6 nonconference decision to the visiting Tigers.

“Unfortunately, we were unable to sustain drives,” Bublitz said. “We didn’t give our defense any breathers.

West is too good, they are too talented, for us to do that.”

The Tigers moved to 2-0 entering the SouthWest Suburban Blue portion of the schedule, which begins Friday at home against Lincoln-Way East. South (0-2) heads into the Southwest Prairie schedule at Plainfield East in a search for offensive consistency.

“We sputtered all night,” said Bublitz, whose team managed no first downs and five net yards in the middle two quarters combined as the defense for West – including linemen Jessie Rhymes Jr., Julius Garrett, Juan Hernandez, Matthew Orbell, Jesse Ibarra and Noah Dulski, linebackers Meekah Ben-Israel, Jacob Pullen and Andrew Smith, cornerbacks Marcus Williams and Cody Norman and safeties Roman Johnson and Marcus Blackmon – imposed its will.

“Our whole defense is playing well,” Williams said, a thought echoed by West coach Jason Aubry.

Williams and Johnson intercepted passes. Pullen, Hernandez, Ibarra, Dulski and Garrett were in on sacks.

Garrett recovered a fumble that Hernandez caused. Hernandez blocked an early field goal attempt and Garrett later blocked a punt.

The game began as a disjointed mess. The teams combined for 11 penalties and 98 yards in walkoffs in the first quarter alone.

“We started out kind of sketchy, but we made it work,” Williams said.

South had the first opportunity to score when the Cou-

Joliet West’s Jakob Coyl carries the ball through Plainfield South’s territory Friday at Plainfield South High School in Plainfield. The Tigers beat the Cougars, 21-6. gars, with the help of a few West penalties, marched to the Tigers’ 5-yard line after taking the opening kickoff.

But Hernandez, leading a parade of Tigers into the backfield, blocked a 21-yard field goal try.

“I just saw a bunch of black helmets there,” Williams said of the field goal block. “If whoever blocked it didn’t, I would have.”

Norman, who had an interception in last week’s season-opening victory at Moline, picked up the block and returned it 41 yards to the South 32.

But four incomplete passes later, the Tigers were back on defense.

West quarterback Alex Tibble injected some order to the proceedings when he hit wide receiver Xavier Smith

on a 48-yard touchdown pass with 3:15 left in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead.

“It felt like we weren’t even on the same page offensively,” Aubry said. “It was disjointed. We didn’t hit any kind of groove until that pass to X [Smith], and then we were able to move the ball.”

“The touchdown was a regular fade pattern,” said Smith, who caught six passes for 87 yards and has 13 receptions for 198 yards in two games. “I worked a lot in the summer on my routes, and Tibs [Tibble] threw a perfect pass.

“I love the [spread] offense that we run. It’s well designed. You have to give our coaches a lot of credit.”

South responded to Smith’s touchdown with a 73-yard scoring drive to get

within 7-6, the score coming on Jake Maher’s 7-yard run from Wildcat formation. But as Bublitz said, “Even when we got it to 7-6, it never felt like we were that close.”

The conversion kick failed.

“Our defense has been tremendous,” Bublitz said. “We have to get the other aspects – offense and the kicking game – going. And penalties just killed us.”

South was flagged 15 times for 156 yards, West 12 times for 97.

West built its lead to 21-6 before halftime, scoring on Jakob Coyl’s 7-yard run and Tibble’s 1-yard pass to John Choate after Tibble hit freshman Kevon Dorris with a 32yard toss over the middle to the 1. The two-point conversion after Coyl’s score came

on a trick-play pass from freshman Jaxon Aubry to Dorris.

Tibble finished 17 of 35 passing for 191 yards and the two touchowns. He was intercepted once, by linebacker Danny Saracco. West rushed for 87 yards.

“We didn’t rush for a lot of yards, but it seemed like we were able to run effectively in the second half,” Aubry said.

The night was dedicated to Sean McGail, 20, a former South football standout who died earlier this year from injuries suffered in a a motorcycle accident. Before the game, the public address announcer read a touching letter from McGrail’s parents.

The South sophomores won, 13-12, on a touchdown on a blocked punt with 1:46 remaining.

PREP FOOTBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 34, WHEATON NORTH 14

Johnson, Roth key JCA past Wheaton N.

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Joliet Catholic overcame the loss of senior quarterback Cade Earl to defeat Wheaton North, 34-14, Friday night in a game the late Gordie Gillespie would have loved.

The Hilltoppers (2-0) rushed for 361 yards, including 240 by wingback Michael Johnson, as they downed a Falcons’ team that stayed close into the third quarter before an interception by defensive back Bill Rotnicki took away Wheaton North’s momentum.

“We had a good rush on their quarterback and he threw a bad ball. He underthrew it,” Rotnicki said of the interception that stopped a Wheaton North drive with the Falcons (0-2) trailing,

20-14, midway through the third quarter.

The Hilltoppers lost Earl to what coach Dan Sharp described as an upper-body injury early in the second quarter.

Junior backup Patrick Roth led JCA to 20 points while completing 5 of 9 passes for 75 yards.

“We sent Cade to get some X-rays at the hospital, and we’re praying that it is nothing serious,” Sharp said.

Earl directed two scoring drives that put the Hilltoppers ahead 14-0 after the first quarter. He finished 3 of 3 for 33 yards. JCA drove 94 yards in its second possession fueled by a 43-yard run by Johnson. Earl finished the drive by hitting senior tight end Jake Kinsella with a 13-yard scoring pass that, with the extra point by

Zach Lukasik, made it 7-0.

Rotnicki intercepted his first pass of the game to stop the Falcons’ next drive and returned it 20 yards to the Wheaton North 20. Six plays later, Earl hit Johnson with a five-yard touchdown pass to make it 14-0.

The Hilltoppers scored on their next possession with Roth relieving the injured Earl in the middle of the drive. Roth completed a 10-yard pass to Johnson to the Falcons’ 22 to keep the drive alive. Johnson ran it in from there on the next play.

The extra point attempt failed, so JCA led, 20-0.

Wheaton North quarterback Luke Anthony (13 of 32, 150 yards, two touchdowns) found Marcus Gustaveson with a 22-yard scoring strike to cut the lead to 20-7 at halftime. The

Falcons cut it to 20-14 on the opening drive of the third quarter when Anthony hit tight end Michael Gehl on a 23-yard TD pass.

After forcing Joliet Catholic to punt, the Falcons took over at their 9. Two plays later, Rotnicki intercepted Anthony. The Hilltoppers scored five plays later on Johnson’s 1-yard run to make it 27-14. Harold Davis (13 carries, 71 yards) finished the scoring with a 1-yard-run with 7:15 remaining.

JCA honored Gillespie, the late coach who guided the program to five state titles, by observing a moment of silence before the game and showing a video montage of Gillespie through the years.

“Gordie’s still with us. I can still hear him saying ‘It’s all

there, Danny. See clearly, you can see it,’ ” Sharp said of his longtime mentor and friend.

“He would like this team because of their grit. When things started going bad, when we shot ourselves in the foot with all the penalties (12 for 100 yards), the kids never got down. They never panicked. They just play hard every down.”

Sharp also was pleased with Roth’s play.

“Pat Roth is an outstanding quarterback,” he said. “He did an excellent job. The nice thing is there is not much dropoff.

He’s another very intelligent guy. He’s got a slighter frame than Cade, and he doesn’t have the experience, but he has the savvy and leadership qualities and intelligence to run the offense.”

PREP FOOTBALL: OSWEGO 14, PROVIDENCE CATHOLIC 13

Celtics comes up short against the Panthers

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@shawmedia.com OSWEGO – The foundation of Oswego football has always been built on defense. Providence Catholic knows defense wins championships.

In a historic meeting between two highly respected programs Friday night, it was the Panthers’ defense that stood firm at Ken Pickerill Field, lifting Oswego to a 14-13 victory over Providence in a battle between two teams that had dropped their openers a week earlier.

Providence (0-2) created the one-point margin with a third-quarter touchdown drive capped by an 11-yard connection from quarterback Steve Simowitz to Mike Markasovic with 7:25 on the clock.

Both teams came up with an interception, but neither could convert the turnovers into points, and Oswego (11) missed a field goal in the fourth quarter to build pressure into the final minutes.

Facing fourth-and-3 at the Providence 41, Oswego’s Steven Frank was stopped on his quarter-

back sneak to turn the ball over to the Celtics with 2:56 remaining.

Providence running back Richie Warfield (11 carries, 110 yards) ran the ball three times to put the Celtics at midfield, but on fourth-and-3, Warfield was stopped by a

wall of Panthers to turn the ball over on downs with 1:20 left. Frank took a knee on the next possession, sealing the Oswego victory.

“This win is huge for our program,” Oswego defensive end Brennan Burdo said.

“We’ve never beaten Provi-

dence before. Last week was a wake-up call and we wanted to win this one going into conference.”

Oswego scored on its first possession on Frank’s 7-yard quarterback keeper. With 3:32 remaining in the first quarter, Kowalkowski kicked his first of two field goals – this one from 32 yards – to put the Celtics on the scoreboard, 7-3. Derek Bresingham’s interception set up Kowalkowski’s 41-yarder early in the second quarter.

Oswego fumbled near the goal line and recovered the ball in the end zone for its second touchdown of the game with 57 seconds to play in the first half, giving Oswego a 14-6 lead.

“It was a sloppy game, especially on our side,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said. “We had our opportunities, we just didn’t take advantage of it. The kids played hard. We had penalties that kept putting us in tough situations, long-yard situations, and right now we’re just not good enough to overcome those tough situations.”

PREP FOOTBALL: RICH SOUTH 46, JOLIET CENTRAL 20

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, September 6, 2015

JOLIET – Things were looking up for Joliet Central’s football team after the Steelmen scored on the initial play of the second quarter Friday night to grab a six-point lead over Rich South.

But the Stars took control by scoring the final 18 points of the first half, and then broke things open with three more touchdowns to start the final half as they went on to capture a 46-20 nonconference victory over the Steelmen.

The defeat was the 47th straight for the Steelmen (02), who lost on a late interception return for a touchdown to Thornridge in last week’s opener and fell in a similar fashion to Rich South (1-1) when the squads met a year ago.

“We did a much better job offensively tonight and we did some very nice things defensively but ultimately, we have to get back to the basics fundamentally with blocking and tackling,” Central coach Brett Boyter said. “What killed us today on defense was not getting off the field on some third down and long situations.

Those are just momentum-killers.

“We just have to work a little better on our technique next week. Our guys played with a lot of heart. We don’t have a lot of guys and a lot of them play both ways. So never question the toughness or the competitiveness of our our guys. I’m very proud of them.

We made a big step forward, but, unfortunately, it was not the result that we wanted.”

After Rich South went up 6-0 less than two minutes in on a 16-yard run by Yahya Johnson (27 carries, 156 yards), the Steelmen tied it with 7:00 left in the first quarter on a 3-yard run by Robert Ogden (17 carries, 61 yards).

Central moved ahead 12-6 seven seconds into the second quarter when Zach Wisneski (8 of 19 passing, 166 yards) tossed a 28-yard pass to Jomarre McNair (4 catches, 134 yards).

But the Stars capitalized on a fumble on a punt and an

The bad snap on the punt gave the Stars the ball at the 15, and on the next play, Johnson burst up the middle for the score. Two plays after Latrell Garrett intercepted a pass at Central’s 28, quarterback Hassan Bilal (16 carries, 230 yards) ran in from 3 yards out. Johnson scored from five yards out shortly before the break to give South a 12-point lead.

The Steelmen threatened on their first series of the third quarter, thanks to two long passes from Wisneski to McNair. They eventually got to South’s 3, but were stopped on downs when Wisneski was sacked and injured on the play.

Two plays after South’s Michael McKinnie picked off a pass at Central’s 20, Bilal scrambled in from 19 yards out. After Johnson scored on

a 5-yard run early in the final quarter, the Stars completed their run of 40 straight points when Bilal tossed a 38-yard strike to Kameron Shaw.

Central finally scored again with 2:03 left when backup quarterback Zach Schraer (5 of 10 passing, 79 yards) tossed a 12-yard pass to Allen Smith.

Jamari Butler collected 50 yards on 12 carries, with most of it coming in the final quarter.

“Zach (Wisneski) is on crutches right now, but knowing him, he’ll probably be ready to go next Saturday,” Boyter said. “But I’ll tell you what, Zach Schraer came in and did a real nice job for us.

I’m very proud of the way he stepped in and took command of our offense.”

On defense, the Steelmen got an interception from Marcus Stone, a forced fumble and recovery by Aaryss Stallings and four tackles for loss from Joliet Central’s Jomarre McNair nearly intercepts a pass Friday during the first quarter of a game against Rich South in Joliet.

PREP FOOTBALL: LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 28, KANELAND 14

Lincoln-Way Central starts fast, beats Kaneland

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – Don’t let Nico Muto’s dimensions fool you.

He admits to be 5-foot-9 and 235 pounds, but good luck finding any baby fat on the junior.

And good luck tackling him when Lincoln-Way Central absolutely needs some tough yards.

Muto gained 82 such yards and scored two touchdowns on 15 carries in Lincoln-Way Central’s 28-14 victory over Kaneland on Friday night at Lashmet Field, the first for coach Jeremy Cordell.

The first four yards brought

Central (1-1) its first touchdown, the payoff to linebacker Brandon Geagan’s timely interception of Kaneland quarterback Jake Marczuk on the game’s third snap, a pickoff aided by Mike Ceploski’s tip.

Geagan returned the ball to the Kaneland 4, and Muto took it in from there.

“We needed to start the game fast, and we started it the right way,” Muto said. “Our defense stepped up. We’re going to be great this year. We just got it started right now.”

“That’s a big way to start the first quarter,” Cordell said. “We’re happy the way we came out of the gate. We’ve just got to continue to keep

that momentum.”

Muto’s other big gainer was a 24-yard run in which he dragged up to three Kaneland players through the middle of the field at various times.

Three carries later, he had enough left to bolt off the right tackle for an 11-yard score for a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter.

“That’s my usual game,” Muto said of his grinding.

“Nico is a very, very tough, hard-nosed, physical football player,” Cordell said. “He runs the ball very well for his size.

He’s shifty, he’s quick, he’s got great speed and defenders have to be able to wrap him up.

That’s a load.”

PREP FOOTBALL: WASHINGTON 19, MORRIS 13 (OT)

Morris falters late, loses to Washington in OT STAFF REPORTS WASHINGTON – In the first half Friday night, it looked like the Morris football team was going to come away from its first road game with a fairly easy victory over Washington. The Redskins led by 13 points at halftime, and outgained the Panthers, 129-37, in total yards, holding them to one first down.

But Morris found the going much tougher after halftime. The Washington defense limiting the Redskins to just 62 yards in the second half while the offense rallied to send Morris to a 19-13 overtime loss.

The Redskins got on the board in the first quarter with a 1-yard run by Keagan Sobol, and the extra point by Luis Luna gave Morris (1-1) a 7-0 lead.

Late in the first quarter, Nathan Guth intercepted a pass, a play that led to an 18-yard touchdown run by Michael Feeney in the second quarter. The kick failed, but the TD gave Morris a 13-0 lead going into halftime.

“We played well in the first half,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said.

“And, our defense was dominant for the first three quarters.”

Besides Guth’s interception, the Redskins got a sack each by Feeney and Kyle Overton, while Will Ringer led the club with 11 tackles.

Offensively, Michael Gerischer led the Redskins with 101 rushing yards on 15 carries, Feeney had 80 yards on

10 carries and Sobol ran nine times for 26 yards.

Guth was 5 of 9 for 93 yards through the air. Sobol caught three passes for 53 yards, with Tommy Balentine grabbing two passes for 40.

The fly in the ointment for Morris was the yellow flags, as the Redskins were whistled for 10 penalties totaling 66 yards.

“Penalties killed us,” Thorson said.

“We had way too many false start and holding penalties. We had a lot of trouble moving the ball in the fourth quarter and we stalled inside our own 20 a couple of times. We also were in their red zone three times, but penalties moved us out. We need to get better and clean up the fundamental stuff.”

Washington started its comeback with a 41-yard touchdown pass from Brock Crowthers to Luke Strong, then tied the score on a 17-yard TD run by Randy Meneweather. The extra point kick on Meneweather’s touchdown failed, keeping the score tied. Washington had a chance to win the game in regulation, but a 20-yard field goal attempt was wide.

In overtime, Morris got the ball first, but fumbled on the first play. Meneweather scored the winning touchdown on the second play of Washington’s possession from two yards out.

“This was a disappointing loss,” Thorson said. “Give Washington credit for not quitting, but we let this one go.”

Muto’s exploits weren’t the only keys to rebounding from last week’s loss to Huntley.

Central controlled the clock and ended up on the short end of only a 275-269 yardage reading because of Kaneland’s 74yard scoring drive in the final minutes. But by the time Zachary Parker scored from the 1, it was too late to come back.

Cordell would have preferred that drive stop around the 50 rather than the end zone but saw improvement from the first week to the second, and sees room for much more.

“We have to clean up the penalties,” Cordell said. “Too many flags.”

Central’s defense also was

stout. Marczuk was 14 of 26 for 173 yards, but was sacked four times, and Geagan’s interception in the game’s first minute set the tone. Kaneland (1-1) was held to 102 yards rushing, 71 before its final drive.

Central’s Dan Eber made it 14-0 with 6:18 left in the first quarter, hauling in Austin Strilko’s 41-yard pass on thirdand-9. Strilko was 3 of 10 for 86 yards and scored Central’s last touchdown on a 25-yard bootleg 53 seconds into the final quarter, soon after Tanner Robertsen’s 63-yard TD reception cut the lead to 21-7 in the third quarter.

Central scored a 14-0 shutout in the sophomore game.

PREP FOOTBALL: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 27, BLOOM 13

Lincoln-Way West rallies past Bloom

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent CHICAGO HEIGHTS – After being outplayed by Bloom Township for the first three quarters, Lincoln-Way West’s footbakll team went off for three fourth-quarter touchdowns and rolled to a a 27-13 nonconference victory.

Senior running back Gabe Montalvo rushed for 152 of his game-high 174 yards and scored three touchdowns in the second half. After running over the Blazing Trojans in the second half, Montalvo kept running right out of the stadium, to a family wedding.

Trailing, 13-12, with 10:52 left in the game, West quarterback Connor Lowman (3 for 13 passing, 106 yards) hit tight end Ben Zordani for a 66-yard touchdown strike. Lowman found Montalvo for the two-point conversion, and a 20-13 Warrior lead.

“Connor threw a perfect pass to me and I just raced toward the end zone,” Zordani said. “The Bloom defense almost caught me at the goal line, so I dove into the end zone. It was an amazing feeling.”

The start of the game was delayed two hours because of numerous delays in the sophomore game. The Warrior sophomores (2-0) survived those and Bloom, 136.

“I don’t believe the two-hour delay was the cause of our slow start,” West coach Dave Ernst said. “Bloom totally outplayed us and was the better team in the first half. Our defense played outstanding, especially in the first half, to keep us in the game.

“Connor threw a perfect pass to Ben and he outran everyone to the end zone

for the game-winner. Our offensive line really blocked well and Gabe had a spectacular second half, and I am very happy to get out of here, with a win over a very good Bloom team.”

Bloom (0-2) dominated the Warriors in the first half, but only took a 6-0 lead into the halftime because the effort from the Warrior defense. Trey Telez (two sacks), sophomore Matt Murphy (interception), Cortez Michalski and Dan Wainwright stood tall as the Warriors twice turned away Bloom on a first-andgoal on the one, and then a first-and-goal at the 10 in the first half.

“We really had to step it up on defense today with the slow start of our offense,” Telez said. “We knew the offense would get going and we came away with a great team victory today.”

With 9:20 left in the third quarter, the Warriors had a seven-play, 71-yard scoring drive capped by Montalvo’s first touchdown from 18 yards out. At the 6:50 mark of the third quarter, Bloom quarterback Cornell Washington (12 carries, 143 yards), ran for a 54-yard touchdown. Antwan Jones’ PAT gave Bloom a 13-6 lead.

West (2-0) drove 61-yards in 12 plays, capped off by a 4-yard Montalvo touchdown. He carried the ball 10 times for 62 yards on the drive. The extra point was no good.

After Zordani’s TD catch, Murphy thwarted Bloom’s ensuing drive with a great interception and ran it back to the Bloom 32. But Bloom stopped Montalvo on a fourth and one at the goal line. On Bloom’s next series, Jake Price recovered a fumble at the Bloom 18, and Montalvo finished off the scoring with a 16yard blast into the end zone.

PREP FOOTBALL: MINOOKA 26, LOCKPORT 22

By JEFF DeGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent

Lockport had opportunities in the first half to extend the lead, but two stalled drives ended in missed field goals from 22 and 27 yards.

In the second half, Minooka responded on the arm of Carnagio as he hooked up with Hill on a 42-yard pass to the Lockport 8-yard line and Jaccor Blakney ran the last five yards for a touchdown. Minooka trailed 14-13 after the extra point was blocked.

With 2:03 remaining in the third quarter, Skobel got loose up the middle and scampered for a 52-yard touchdown run.

The Porters led 20-13 after missing the extra point.

Minooka’s defense came up big with 10:20 remaining as Carson Oughton picked up a fumble and ran it in from the 4-yard line to tie the score at 20.

That set things up for the incredible last few minutes.

Skobel finished with 155 yards on 24 carries, and Davis was 11 of 24 passing for 226 yards.

“We are finding ways to get it done, but we have to clean up things,” Forsythe said. “Our defense played outstanding tonight. We are 2-0, but still have a lot of work to get done.”

PREP FOOTBALL: BISHOP McNAMARA 17, PLAINFIELD NORTH 14

Ekowa, Tigers edged by Fighting Irish in close contest

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent KANKAKEE – Plainfield North had five trips into the red zone and came away with zero points, leading to a 17-14 nonconference defeat Friday night at Bishop McNamara.

The final Tigers’ drive ended at McNamara’s 16-yard line with 21 seconds left on a play ruled a fumble by quarterback JD Ekowa.

With 32 seconds left, an apparent 32-yard touchdown pass from Ekowa to tight end Kyle Speas was overturned by the officials, who ruled Speas’ foot was on the end line. Ekowa hit Zach Jarosz for 16 yards to the 16 with 26 seconds to go, but on

the next play was sacked and fumbled the ball to McNamara (2-0).

The game was delayed by 54 minutes because of lightning, the first of numerous misfortunes for the Tigers (1-1). On the initial play of the game, Ekowa threw a pass that McNamara’s Ariez Andrew intercepted and returned 65 yards for a 7-0 lead.

With 6:01 left in the first quarter, McNamara quarterback Kobe Shutter (6 for 15, 151 yards) hit Jonathan Ward for an 84-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead.

With 4:05 to go in the first quarter, Ekowa hit Jarosz from 25 yards out to pull the Tigers to within 14-7. Then with 21 seconds left in the half, the

Ekowa-Jarosz combo struck from 21 yards out to tie the score. Ekowa threw for 221 of his 296 yards in the first half.

“We played really hard tonight. A lot of things went against us,” Ekowa said. “I had a problem with the first pass of the game but settled down and had a good game. My line gave me protection and our receivers all caught the ball. We are looking forward to our conference opener against Oswego East. We want to win the conference and we want to make that game our first step.”

The second half was dominated by the Tigers, but the Fighting Irish defense turned back several drives in their territory. With 8:28 left in the

third quarter, McNamara kicker Dylan Post booted a 29-yard field goal that proved to be decisive.

The Tigers owned a 490-253 advantage in total yardage.

Ekowa was 15 of 28 for 296 yards and two touchdowns. Jarosz grabbed five passes for 100 yards. Speas and Ryan Krzystofiak each had two catches for 47 yards.

“This was a tough loss to take, but we have to forget about it and move forward,” Jarosz said. “We want to win conference, so we have to go out next week and play well and defeat Oswego East.”

Tyler Hoosman led all Tigers’ rushers with 76 yards in 16 carries. Niko Capezio add-

ed 60 yards in six carries, and Zach Shelton gained 59 yards on seven carries.

The defense held Ward to minus-5 yards on four carries before he went off for 146 second-half yards. Timothy Donahue, William Stoll and Richard Matway played well for the Tigers. Donahue and Matway had sacks.

“We just let too many opportunities to score points pass by,” North coach Tim Kane said. “Our defense repeatedly came up with big stops. JD had a fine game and all of our receivers caught the ball. Our running backs also played well, but five trips inside the McNamara 25 without scoring beat us.”

MINOOKA – An instant classic is a good way to describe the first meeting between Lockport and Minooka on the football field.

With 15.6 seconds remaining and his team trailing, 22-20, Friday night, Indians quarterback John Carnagio dropped back and hit receiver Isaiah Hill with a 66-yard touchdown pass that gave Minooka a 26-22 nonconference victory over the Porters.

When Hill scored, the clocked showed 0.01 remaining. The junior receiver had a huge game, catching five passes for 153 yards.

“It was the worst pass I threw all night and I was just trying to get it to Isaiah. He was running a fly pattern,” said Carnagio, who was 12 of 28 passing for 216 yards. “He made the adjustment to the ball and I couldn’t believe he scored.

“Our defense really picked us up tonight. We really couldn’t get anything going, but they kept us in the game and gave the offense the opportunities.”

Lockport (0-2) took a 22-20

“John’s pass was so bad to Isaiah it was good. We had to throw the ball a lot tonight because we couldn’t run the ball.

Give Lockport’s defense credit for that. They mixed it up early and we couldn’t do anything in that first half. They are real physical up front and we had to get John throwing the ball more in the second half.”

The game started fast as Lockport took the opening drive 67 yards, with Matt Skobel scoring on a 4-yard run for a 7-0 lead.

Minooka came right back on its first possession. After a 66-yard run by Joshua Garcia, Carnagio scored the touchdown on a 4-yard keeper.

The Porters took a 14-7 lead with 7:10 to go in the second quarter on a 48-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ben Davis to Collin Van Lonkhuyzen.

PREP FOOTBALL: RICH CENTRAL 40, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 27

Hayes, Plainfield Central keep battling but fall

By LARRY LINDHOLM Shaw Media Correspondent OLYMPIA FIELDS – Plainfield Central led 7-6 at halftime, allowed two quick touchdowns to open the second half and battled back to get within 28-27 early in the fourth quarter before falling to nonconference foe Rich Central, 40-27, on Friday night.

Rich Central (2-0) was held scoreless until Jayran Mitchell’s 4-yard touchdown run with

47 seconds left in the first half.

Plainfield Central (0-2) received the second-half kickoff, but nobody picked up the loose ball and the Olympians recovered. They scored three plays later. The Wildcats fumbled away the ensuing kickoff, and Rich Central scored one play later to lead 20-7.

“Too many mistakes by special teams put us behind,” Plainfield Central coach John Jackson said. “The whole team could have gotten down at the

start of the second half. But you have to be proud of the way the kids did not give up and fought.

We played with a very good, quick team. This is a positive going into our [Southwest Prairie] conference schedule.”

Jackson said that quick opponents can be dangerous for his squad.

“We are not built for speed and we cannot get into shootouts with teams,” he said.

“We need to play solid defense, run hard and throw the ball

PREP FOOTBALL: BOLINGBROOK 55, ROMEOVILLE 6

Scuffles, ejections taint Bolingbrook blow-out win against Romeoville

By DENNIS NELSON Shaw Media Correspondent BOLINGBROOK – In what could have been the most confrontational matchup of Valley View District rivals, Bolingbrook came away with a 55-6 nonconference victory over Romeoville on Friday night.

Bolingbrook (1-1) rushed for 277 yards and scored eight rushing touchdowns while the Spartans dropped to 0-2. The postgame handshakes were limited to captains and coaches.

“That’s embarrassing,” Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow said. “I’ve had one kid ejected in 14 years and to have two in one night is embarrassing.

Now, I have to answer to that.”

Two separate incidents in the second half resulted in two Raiders being ejected from the game, which featured 13 accepted penalties and numerous offsetting personal fouls that did not make the final tally.

“We chewed them out about their behavior on the field,” Ivlow said of his postgame speech. “They got to us.

It’s big Bolingbrook beating up little Romeoville. They dressed 25 players and we’re the bad guys.”

In the third quarter, a long punt return by Bolingbrook was called back when a Boling-

“That’s embarrassing.

I’ve had one kid ejected in 14 years and to have two in one night is embarrassing. Now, I have to answer to that.”

John Ivlow Bolingbrook coach

brook player was scuffling on top of a Romeoville player 60 yards behind the play.

“A kid threw a punch and our kid responded,” Romeoville coach Oliver Gibson said of the first major altercation.

“They are kids and they have to learn. Tomorrow will come and they will have to answer for what they’ve done. That’s what we’ll do. But, you can never lose your cool.”

Early in the fourth quarter, both teams gathered for pushing and shoving after a play, resulting in another Bolingbrook player being ejected.

“That was not the way it was suppose to be,” Ivlow said.

“It was supposed to be a friendly exhibition.”

Jeremiah Lebron ran for touchdown runs of 6, 34 and 24 yards to spearhead the Raiders. Jaylen Griffin ran for two

touchdowns in the first half from 6 and 1 yards out. Lucas Warren (1-yard run), Michael Freeze (12-yard run) and Sammy Nasca (1-yard run) also reached paydirt.

Romeoville’s lone touchdown came on the final play of the first half. Jordan Nettles scooted through the Bolingbrook defense for a 70-yard touchdown run to make it 35-6 at halftime. The Spartans had four yards of offense and two first downs before Nettles’ scamper.

“I knew our first two games were going to be tough,” Gibson said of lopsided losses to a pair of teams ranked among the top 20 in the Chicagoland area. “Give a lot of credit to Bolingbrook.

They are a good team and we knew that. We have to work at getting better and pay attention to detail. That’s what we haven’t done in our first two games.”

“We still have some competitions going for positions,” said Ivlow, who rotated two quarterbacks and featured four running backs with at least four carries each. “We are still trying to find ourselves. There are some good kids who haven’t seen the field a whole lot. It’s a nice luxury to have, especially our running backs and receivers.”

when needed.”

Wildcats quarterback Marcus Hayes rushed for 169 yards on 17 carries, scored three touchdowns and completed 4 of 10 passes for 64 yards and a score. But it was not quite enough.

Hayes’ third touchdown early in the fourth quarter brought the Wildcats back within 2827. But the defense, which had played well in the first half, was unable to prevent the Olympians from tacking on points as

Franklin Hunt ran 63 yards for a score and Deshawn Jones, who finished with 118 yards in 19 carries, scored the clincher.

Hayes scored on runs of 85, 20 and 4 yards and threw a 35yard TD pass to Nate Graves.

He also hit Graves for a 20-yard completion on the play preceding his 20-yard touchdown run.

Plainfield Central won the sophomore game, 20-6, as Tom Gustafson and Joshua Makenzie combined to rush for 168 yards.

PREP FOOTBALL: WEST AURORA 35, PLAINFIELD EAST 14

Mistakes doom Plainfield East against West Aurora

By KEVIN RYAN Shaw Media Correspondent AURORA – Having suffered a tough loss in Week 1 to Rich Central, Plainfield East carried a little momentum into its game against West Aurora after its offense finally started to hit its stride last week in the fourth quarter.

The momentum did not last long, however, as the Bengals fell to the Blackhawks, 35-14, in nonconference play Friday night.

The first two possessions set the tone for the game, as East (0-2) mishandled a handoff for a fumble and then fumbled on a punt return.

“Sloppy football. It was sloppy football,” Bengals coach Mike Romeli said. “It’s hard to win games when you don’t execute. It’s not a lack of effort, we just need to focus more.”

Despite the mistakes and an unsuccessful fake punt, East’s defense was able to hold its own as West Aurora drove deep into Bengals’ territory but was unable to score any points.

“Our defense is good,” Romeli said. “In the first half our defense had such short fields and by the time they get a breath, they’re in the end zone.”

The Bengals’ defense began to crack in the second quarter

as Blackhawks running back Daquan Cross (10 carries, 71 yards) reached the end zone twice on 15-yard runs. Cross’ second touchdown came with 52 seconds left in the half, giving West Aurora energy going into halftime.

Things continued to decline for the East in the third quarter as it had another punt blocked and the Blackhawks were able to capitalize to make it 21-0.

On the following series, East running back Jeremy Reitz (17 rushes, 172 yards) jump-started the Bengals’ offense with a 47-yard run on the first play of the drive. On the next play, quarterback Matthew Mazurkiewicz (12 of 19 passing, 73 yards) hit Jacob Barlev (two catches, 35 yards) for a 28-yard touchdown to make it 21-7.

On the kickoff, Camron Donatlan dashed any hope of a Bengals comeback with a 70yard return to put West Aurora on the East 8-yard line. Two plays later, the score was 28-7.

“I got to fix it,” Romeli said.

“We have to stop our special teams blunders. That’s what is killing us.”

East got on the board one more time on a 27-yard run by Valentino Rivers account for the final score.

Next week, East will host District 202 rival Plainfield South.

ST. XAVIER 34, ST. FRANCIS 28

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, September 6, 2015 *

JOLIET – While University of St. Francis football coach Joe Curry saw some things that he hoped had been done differently in Saturday’s opener with Saint Xavier, one of those that he wouldn’t have changed was how his squad fought and scrapped throughout.

The Saints put themselves in a position to pull out a late victory over the NAIA’s fourthranked team, but the Cougars were able to hang on to claim a 34-28 win at Memorial Stadium.

USF (0-1) got the ball to Saint Xavier’s 40-yard line in the final minute but turned the ball over on downs with 15 seconds left after four-straight incomplete passes.

“I had kind of gotten it in my mind that we had played a game since we scrimmaged Carthage a week ago and got something under our belt, but it’s not like playing against the number-four team in the country,” Curry said. “So we saw some first-game mistakes.

“We started out a little bad, but I told our team that if that’s the number-four team in the country, then I like where we’re going. I liked the effort and I believe that if you give us the ball with a chance to win it every week, I like our chances and we’ll be okay.

“We’re not going to be flashy, but we’re going to be in every game and it’s just a case of who makes the plays. I couldn’t be prouder with our effort today.

This was a good growing lesson for us in week one. This was a great measuring stick for where we’re at.”

Coach Mike Feminis’ Cougars (1-1), who lost to top-ranked Marian last week, looked to be in control after grabbing a 31-14 lead with 2:25 left in the third quarter when John Rhode (33 of 55 passing, 416 yards) tossed a 21-yard pass to Randall Wells (nine catches, 131 yards) on a fourth-down play.

But the Saints capitalized on a Cougars fumble, which gave them a short field to help them close to within 31-21 with 10:02 left when Jean Pietrzak (four catches, 101 yards) grabbed a 2-yard pass from Don Butkus (25 of 44 passing, 271 yards).

TOP: St. Francis’ Brett Ditchmen tackles Saint Xavier quarterback John Rhode during the second quarter Saturday in Joliet. RIGHT: St. Francis’ Eli Spann runs the ball in the first quarter.

Saint Xavier got insurance points with 5:35 left when Abdul Mahdi hit his second field goal, this one from 41 yards.

But the Saints were back at it a short time later when Butkus hooked up with Pietrzak for the third scoring pass of the day, this time from 17 yards out, with 2:38 remaining.

After three running plays resulted in seven yards of losses, the Cougars were forced to punt and Pietrzak just missed blocking the attempt, which went to to Saints’ 40. After two passes to Sheldon Magee (seven catches, 61 yards), the ball had moved 20 yards, but USF was unable to advance it any further downfield.

The Cougars grabbed an 8-0 lead with 8:50 left in the opening quarter when Mark Strbjak caught an 8-yard pass from Rhode. Wells ran in the twopoint conversion.

But the Saints were able to pull to within 8-7 with 5:22 re-

maining in the first quarter when Magee ran in from four yards out. Grayson Barnette kicked the first of his four extra points.

St. Francis got interceptions from Josh Woodard and Breion Tucker in the second quarter, with Tucker’s pickoff coming in the endzone with 2:13 left before the break.

Saint Xavier forced a threeand-out, however, and the Saints punted with the Cougars taking over at their 48 with 1:01 left in the half. Eight plays later

they were in the endzone when Stephen Simms (eight catches, 93 yards) grabbed a 2-yard pass from Rhode with four seconds left before the break.

The Cougars took a 21-7 lead with 8:46 left in the third quarter when Rhode tossed a 10-yard pass to Ryan Carroll (seven catches, 85 yards). But the Saints answered quickly when Butkus connected with Pietrzak, who gained most of his 73 yards after the catch on a dash down the sideline to make it 21-14 with 8:10 left in the third

quarter.

After Mahdi made a 41-yard field goal with 4:15 left in the third, the Cougars capitalized on a fumble to set up Rhode’s pass to Wells that made it a 17-point contest.

Saint Xavier outgained St. Francis, 501-377, including a 416271 edge through the air.

Brett Ditchman had an impressive performance to lead St. Francis’ defense. He recorded 17 tackles, including seven solo stops and also recovered both of the fumbles.

PLAINFIELD CENTRAL CROSS COUNTRY INVITATIONAL

Lockport girls win invite title

By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – Delays with lightning, especially right at race time, can create havoc on a team’s mental preparation.

But it certainly had little effect on Lockport’s girls cross country team Saturday morning at the Plainfield Central Invitational.

The Porters placed their five scoring runners in the top 10 to win the 13-team meet with 26 points.

Lemont was second with 38 points, Plainfield East placed third (114). Joliet Central (ninth), Plainfield Central (11th) and Providence (12th) rounded out the area teams.

Gabby Voltarel from Lemont was the individual winner with a time of 19:59 over the 3-mile course. A total of 91 runners finished in the meet.

For Lockport, Alicia Ary was second (20:01), Emily Stoklosa took third (20:03), Morgan Bollinger placed fourth (20:06), Aubrey Freidrich was seventh (20:43) and Kayla Isom finished tenth (20:59).

The Porters’ sixth and seventh runners were Karlee Stortz, who was 11th (21:04) and Jorie Beaumont, who took 13th (21:14).

“I’m very pleased with the way we ran today, to have all seven runners in the top 13 showed me that we are coming around,” first-year Lockport coach Erin Truesdale said.

“The girls responded very well to the delay. We were all ready to go at the line, then came the lightning and rain delay. They didn’t let it bother them, and ran well as a pack. Especially coming off some of the nagging injuries we have been dealing with. It sets us up well for next week in Peoria running at Detweiler Park.”

Plainfield East was led

by Mary Wojdyla, who took 14th (21:23), followed by Elizabeth Conklin in 17th (21:45), Erika Barrios in 23rd, Emma Vasquez was 26th and Vivian Medrano placed 34th. Joliet Central also had a top-20 finisher, Morayma Barron, who placed 18th (21:48).

On the boys side, Joliet Central placed third overall out of 14 teams with 92 points.

Whitney Young was the champion scoring 31 and was followed by Shepard with 73 points.

The Steelmen were led by the third-place finish of Raul Rosendo in 16:12. He led for the first two miles of the race.

“That is not my style of

running I don’t like to lead early, but the pace was so slow, someone had to push it.

It will help me later in the season,” Rosendo said.

He was followed by Vicente Moreno, Andre Martinez and David Carter who placed 14th, 15th and 16th, respectively.

“We still have more work to do but it’s early,” Central coach Doug Cherry said.

“Our top four ran well and we have some younger kids who ran in the frosh/soph race who will get their chance next week at our invitational. All of our kids have been working hard and it was nice to really get out and really race for the first time this year.”

Romeoville, which placed fourth with 122 points, packed its five scoring runners within 38 seconds of each other.

Ian Irvine was 21st, followed

by Justin Suits (22nd), Ezequiel Cabanas (23rd), Carlos Ibanez (25th) and David Andrews (31st).

Plainfield Central finished ninth and was led by Ben Keneth (33rd). Providence placed tenth as a team and received a 20th place finish from Mike Higgins. Lemont was 11th and Plainfield East finshed 13th with Tyler Kiska placing 19th.

DEUTSCHE BANK CHAMPIONSHIP

Hoffman takes the lead; Spieth misses cut

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press NORTON, Mass. – Jordan Spieth spent most of the summer chasing history. Now he’s chasing the cut line, and losing the battle.

When he walked off the 18th green Saturday at the Deutsche Bank Championship after his only birdie of the second round, Spieth had a 3-over-par 74 and missed the cut in back-toback events for the first time in his career.

He has gone 61 consecutive holes without being under par.

Coming off a year in which he won the Masters and U.S. Open and chal-

lenged in the final hour of the other two majors, this was a strange sensation.

“Whatever is going on ... normally my mental game is a strength of mine. And it’s something I feel like I have an advantage over other players on,” Spieth said.

“These past two weeks it was a weakness for me.”

Charley Hoffman, who five years ago closed with a 62 to win on the TPC Boston, made birdie on half of his holes for a 63 that gave him a three-shot lead over Brendon de Jonge after 36 holes. Rickie Fowler (67) and British Open champion Zach Johnson (65) were another shot behind.

The second FedEx Cup

playoff event nearly lost the top two players in the world.

Rory McIlroy, who returned to No. 1 last week without playing, needed a par on the final hole to make the cut on the number. He got up-and-down from a bunker and made birdie for a 74 and made it with one shot to spare.

PGA champion Jason Day kept alive his hopes to be No. 1 for the first time with another 68 that left him in a tie for 10th, six shots behind.

It was the fourth straight round over par for Spieth, his longest such streak since he went five consecutive rounds at the British Open and PGA Championship two years ago.

BEARS

Young stays on roster The ASSOCIATED PRESS LAKE FOREST – The Bears are keeping outside linebacker Willie Young – at least for now.

Young was not among the 20 players released as the Bears trimmed their roster to 53 before Saturday’s deadline.

The was some speculation he might be let go even though he led the Bears with 10 sacks last season, in part because he is working his way back from a torn left Achilles tendon. The Bears also switched from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme under John Fox, and with that, Young got moved from the defensive line to outside linebacker, adding another wrinkle.

The Bears kept David Fales as the third quarterback behind Jay Cutler and Jimmy Clausen.

The Bears waived 15 players, including linebacker David Bass and guard Michael Ola. Linebacker Mason Foster and tight end Dante Rosario were among four vested veterans who had their contracts terminated.

Receiver A.J. Cruz was waived/injured, and safety Anthony Jefferson went on injured reserve.

FRONTIER LEAGUE: ROCKFORD 9, JOLIET 7

Rockford uses five-run seventh inning to beat Slammers

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Rockford scored five runs in the seventh inning to break a 4-all tie to claim a 9-7 win over Joliet Saturday at Silver Cross Field.

The Aviators (49-46) and Slammers (41-54) conclude the series and the Frontier League season at 5:05 p.m.

Sunday. It is Fan Appreciation Day. It also will be another chance for Joliet third baseman Mike Garza to continue his offensive tear against Rockford. The Slammers beat

the Aviators, 9-4, Friday on an offensive explosion by Garza, who went 4 for 5 and drove in six runs.

Garza picked up where he left off Saturday by hitting two doubles and a single in his first three at-bats. He also drove in two runs. He helped keep the Slammers in the game through six innings.

Rockford sent 10 men to the plate in the top of the seventh inning. The Aviators scored five runs after two outs, as Joliet relievers Patrick Dyer and Dan Tobik failed to record the third out. Brian Bistagne had the key hit of the inning –

a two-run double to right field with the bases loaded.

Joliet responded with a run in the bottom of the seventh inning when Marc Flores singled home Alfredo Rodriguez to make it 9-5. The Aviators finally solved Garza that inning as he hit into a 5-4-3 double play.

The Slammers’ Carter Bell and Flores hit solo homers over the right-field wall in the bottom of the ninth inning to pull Joliet to 9-7. Joe Staley followed Flores’ homer with a double to left to bring the tying run to the plate in Hunter Ridge.

Support

Ridge drew a walk to bring Jeremy Nowak to the plate.

Nowak walked to load the bases for Mason Snyder, who fouled out to third to end the game.

The Slammers trailed, 1-0, in the bottom of the first inning before scoring two runs to take a 2-1 lead. Rodriguez was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. Bell tripled to right to score Rodriguez. Garza followed with a double to left to score Bell.

Rockford tied the score at 2 in the top of the third inning when Cameron Garfield’s double scored Raul Linares.

The Aviators took a 4-2 lead in the top of the fourth when Bistagne singled home Devon Rodriguez and Justin Fox singled home Bistagne.

Joliet tied the score at 4 in the bottom of the fifth inning when Garza doubled home Rodriguez who was hit by a pitch for a second time and stole second base to get into scoring position. Joe Staley singled home Garza.

In Friday’s game, Kevin McNorton (8-2) earned the win in relief of starter Michael Carden. Closer Navery Moore pitched a scoreless ninth inning for the Slammers.

Illinois scores cathartic win

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson celebrates with running back Solomon Vault (left) and receiver Mike McHugh after he ran for a touchdown against Stanford during the second quarter Saturday in Evanston.

NORTHWESTERN 16, NO. 21 STANFORD 6

Thorson, Jackson lead Northwestern over Stanford

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press EVANSTON – Northwestern wanted to prove a point against No. 21 Stanford and drove it home with a strong running game and solid defense that produced a season-opening surprise.

Or, as defensive end Dean Lowry put it: “We unleashed a caged bull today.”

Freshman Clayton Thorson ran for a 42-yard touchdown while playing turnover-free ball at quarterback, Justin Jackson added 134 yards rushing and the Wildcats beat the Cardinal, 16-6, Saturday.

If Northwestern felt like a caged bull, well, back-to-back 5-7 seasons will do that. The recent losing ended a five-year run of bowl appearances that included a 10-win season in 2012.

Anthony Walker broke up two passes and had a fumble recovery, and Kyle Queiro intercepted Kevin Hogan in the end zone with about a minute left to seal the win.

“It was probably one of the best performances I’ve seen our ‘D’ play top to bottom against a ranked team maybe in my time,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said.

Thorson scored the game’s only TD in the second quarter. He was steady overall, completing 12 of 24 passes for 105 yards, but fortunate not to have any interceptions considering he threw a few into double and triple coverage.

“I thought our team as a

whole played well,” he said.

“Our O-line did a great job the whole game. Me personally, I think I can always do a lot better. I missed some throws and some decisions I made weren’t great.”

Thorson got high marks from Stanford linebacker Blake Martinez.

“He was commanding the offense well,” Martinez said.

“Keeping that pace going.

They never stopped that quick offense. It was cool to see that he was able to do that his first game.”

Jackson carried 28 times.

Jack Mitchell kicked three field goals, including a career-long 49-yarder that made it 16-6 with 3:38 left in the game, and the Wildcats started the season on a winning note.

Stanford, coming off an 8-5 season that snapped a string of four consecutive BCS bowls, clearly has some work to do.

Hogan had a rough afternoon, going 20 of 35 with 155 yards and an interception. He was sacked three times.

Christian McCaffery ran for 66. But the Cardinal managed just 85 yards rushing and 240 in total offense.

“The bottom line for us is that we have to be efficient on first down,” coach David Shaw said. “We can’t have penalties.

We can’t have dropped passes.

We can’t have missed blocks.”

The Cardinal showed some of the form that carried them to four straight seasons with at least 11 wins on the game’s opening possession.

CHAMPAIGN – Illinois had been waiting all summer to get back on the field and out from under the shadow of offfield turmoil.

A three-hour thunderstorm that pushed back Friday’s scheduled opener added another 17 hours to that wait.

But Saturday afternoon, Illinois finally delivered the cathartic blowout the team was looking for, dropping 38 first-half points on Kent State on the way to a 52-3 win.

Just eight days earlier, coach Tim Beckman was abruptly fired after university-hired lawyers found evidence that he had interfered in medical decisions.

The investigation, which continues, was sparked in May by former offensive lineman Simon Cvijanovic’s allegations that Beckman and others had pressured him to play hurt and misled him about injuries.

Beckman has denied he did anything wrong and hinted he might sue over the remainder

“We have all these things outside of us trying to get us off beat, and [the weather delay] was just another factor trying to get us off beat, and I think we handled it very well,” said Illinois linebacker Mason Monheim, who grabbed one of the three interceptions Kent State quarterback Colin Reardon threw.

“There were a lot of happy faces out there,” added Bill

Cubit, the offensive coordinator who was named interim coach when Beckman was fired.

Kent State was looking for a strong start after last season’s 2-9 finish, but didn’t find much to build on.

Friday’s delay sent the team, coaches and staff scrambling late at night to book hotel rooms in two cities, Champaign and Bloomington, about an hour northwest.

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mathews pulled down the winning pass in front of Nebraska safety Nate Gerry and several other defenders just inside the goal line, and the play stood after officials reviewed the play.

Indiana 48, Southern Illinois 47: At Bloomington, Indiana, Jordan Howard rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns to help Indiana slip past Southern Illinois.

Indiana appeared to put the game away with 58 seconds to play on a 1-yard scoring run

by Howard that put the Hoosiers on top 48-41. But Southern Illinois marched 75 yards in 5 plays with Mark Iannotti hitting Jimmy Jones for a 25 yard touchdown pass with 18 seconds to play.

Southern Illinois chose to go for the two-point version, and Indiana’s Andre Brown Jr. made the defensive stop on Connor Iwema at the goal line to prevent the Salukis from

taking the lead.

Temple 27, Penn State 10:

At Philadelphia, P.J. Walker scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter to rally Temple to a win over Penn State. It was Temple’s first win over the Nittany Lions in 74 years.

Temple hadn’t won in the series since Oct. 18, 1941. Penn State was 38-0-1 since then.

The Owls played in front of a record crowd of 69,176 at Lincoln Financial Field and gave the fans who colored the stands in cherry and white what is perhaps the biggest win in program history.

Walker made it 17-10 with a 1-yard run late in the third and the Owls cruised from there, no longer serving as Penn State’s intrastate pushover.

The Owls rushed the field and sprinted toward the student section for a postgame party seven decades in the making.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS 38, UNLV 30

Huskies shake off slow start

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The Northern Illinois football team erased a two-touchdown deficit in a 3830 comeback win over UNLV in the season opener on Saturday at Huskie Stadium.

The Rebels led 17-3 late in the second quarter before the Huskies offense finally woke up, outscoring UNLV, 35-6.

Northern Illinois junior quarterback Drew Hare went 21 for 26 with 360 yards and two touchdowns. His favorite target on the day was junior transfer Kenny Golladay, who erupted for nine catches and 213 yards in his Huskie debut. Junior running back Joel Bouagnon had 152 yards and scored three critical touchdowns in the second half – including a 16-yard run to give the Huskies the lead the good in the third quarter.

UNLV quarterback Blake Decker threw for 319 yards and two touchdowns, but was intercepted by Shawun Lurry in the first half. Rebel sophomore wide receiver Devonte Boyd had five catches for 107 yards –

including a 64-yard touchdown down the left sideline in the first possession of the game.

Trailing 17-3 after a UNLV field goal in the second quarter, the Huskies went on an 11-play, 75-yard drive – capped by a 16-yard touchdown pass from Hare to sophomore Shane Wimann with 1:38 remaining.

The drive was kept alive when Hare found Golladay for an 18yard gain on third-and-long.

The Huskies opened up the second half with Hare finding Golladay deep down the left sideline for 41 yards and senior tight end Desroy Maxwell eventually scored on a 16-yard shovel pass to tie it at 17.

It was a rare sight for Huskie fans to see tight ends score two touchdowns on the day.

Last season, Northern Illinois only had one touchdown from that position the entire season.

The Rebels answered with a 33-yard field goal by Nicolai Bornand to take a 20-17 advantage before Bouagnon’s touchdown gave the Huskies the lead for good. The junior also added touchdown runs of 1 yard and 29 yards in the second half.

Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith tackles Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes during the first half Saturday in South Bend, Ind.

NO. 11 NOTRE DAME 38, TEXAS 3

Zaire leads ND past Texas The ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Malik Zaire passed for 313 yards in his first home start, and No. 11 Notre Dame held Texas to 163 yards of total offense in a 38-3 victory Saturday night.

Zaire went 19 of 22 in the air with three touchdowns, including a 66-yard scoring strike to Will Fuller.

Fuller had two touchdown catches, Chris Brown had one

scoring catch, and freshman Josh Adams ran for a pair of TDs, including 14-yard score on his first career carry.

Notre Dame took advantage of an inexperienced Longhorns squad starting three players who were in high school a year ago, amassing 527 yards of total offense.

The Irish improved to 9-2 against Texas, and to 10-2 in home night games.

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY – Jim Harbaugh was first to greet Jake Rudock on the Michigan sideline after he threw the pick6 that pretty much ended any hope the Wolverines had of winning the much-hyped debut of their much-hyped coach.

The coach put an arm around his player, told him the Utah defensive back made a great play and gave the forlorn quarterback a pat on the helmet.

Michigan fans will need to have the same type of patience with their team. Harbaugh has restored hope to the proud program, but as the 24-17 loss to the Utes on Thursday showed, a return to glory is going to take some time.

“A lot of positives,” Harbaugh said. “Some things to build on.”

After an offseason filled with Harbaugh-mania, it was time to play some football, but in many ways the Wolverines looked a lot like the ones coached last season by Brady Hoke, who was fired after going 5-7.

Too many turnovers by the quarterback (Rudock threw three picks). Little production from the running game (76 yards on 29 carries). A defense that played OK, but got little support.

“I thought we had a great game plan,” said tight end Jake Butt, who had eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown. “We just didn’t execute.”

Linebacker Joe Bolden echoed that. “I sound like a broken recorder, but we didn’t execute,” he said.

Michigan’s recent past belies its status as the winningest program in college football history.

Three years under Rich Rodriguez and four under Hoke produced one season of double-digit victories.

Harbaugh has brought success everywhere he has been, and at Stanford and with the San Francisco 49ers, he took over much worse situations and built championship-level teams. He was the only coach Michigan fans really wanted.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa tried a fake field goal for what felt like the first time in years.

It didn’t work.

The crowd cheered anyway.

A frustrated fan base desperate for change got it during an impressive opener for the Hawkeyes.

C.J. Beathard threw for 211 yards and a touchdown in his first career start at Kinnick Stadium and Iowa pounded Illinois State, 31-14, Saturday.

Beathard was 15 of 24 passing and also ran for two touchdowns, and LeShun Daniels, Jr. had a career-high 123 yards rushing for the Hawkeyes.

“After all the speculation of how this was going to be, we went out there and proved that we’re going to run the ball.

We’re going to do what we do,” Beathard said. “A great way to start the season.”

Iowa never let Illinois State, the second-ranked team in the FCS, entertain thoughts of an upset. It raced out to a 17-0 halftime lead and pushed it to 31-0 on Beathard’s 1-yard plunge midway through the fourth quarter.

Jake Kolbe had 147 yards passing and two meaningless late TDs for Illinois State. Star quarterback Tre Roberson threw for just 49 yards while battling cramps.

BYU 33, Nebraska 28: At Lincoln, Nebraska, freshman backup Tanner Mangum heaved a 42-yard touchdown pass to Mitch Mathews on the final play of the game and, after a goal line scrum and a video review, BYU stunned Nebraska in Cornhuskers coach Mike Riley’s debut.

Mangum entered the game in the fourth quarter after Taysom Hill went out with a fractured leg, and will miss the rest of the season.

Michigan fans will need patience

CHICAGO – Jake Arrieta pitched eight innings of fourhit ball for his major leaguebest 18th win, and the Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 2-0, on Saturday.

Arrieta also struck out seven in his first start since he threw his first career no-hitter against the Dodgers last Sunday. It was the seventh consecutive victory for the right-hander, who has allowed just two earned runs in 50⅓ innings during his win streak.

Arrieta (18-6) allowed two hits in the first, but struck out Jarrod Saltalamacchia to end the inning. Hector Rondon yielded two hits in the ninth before finishing for his 26th save in 30 chances.

Arizona wasted a solid start by Robbie Ray in its third consecutive loss. Paul Goldschmidt had two hits in his return to the lineup after missing two games to be with his wife, Amy, in Phoenix as she gave birth to their first child.

Cubs third base coach Gary Jones greets Dexter Fowler as Fowler rounds third after hitting a home run off Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Robbie Ray during the fifth inning Saturday at Wrigley Field.

Fowler drove Ray’s first pitch of the fifth over the wall in left for his 16th homer. His previous career best was 13 with Colorado in 2012.

In a breakout season last year, he became the first Cubs pitcher since 1950 to pitch no-hit ball into the seventh inning three times in one season.

He retired 16 in a row in one stretch, with Saltalamacchia breaking up the string

with a two-out double in the seventh.

The Cubs loaded the based with none out in the fourth, but managed only one run on Ross’ chopper up the middle.

Ray then struck out Arrieta and Addison Russell.

The bat flew out of Russell’s hands while he was at the plate and went into the stands, but an alert fan caught the lumber and no one appeared to be injured.

Denny Hamlin dominates to lead JGR sweep

eighth hit in nine at-bats – in the fourth inning with Jose Abreu and Avisail Garcia aboard. Ramirez was down in the count 1-2 before parking a Danny Duffy curveball over the left-center wall.

Geovany Soto hit a solo homer in the seventh, his fifth home run in 21 games

DARLINGTON, S.C. – Nobody had anything for Denny Hamlin at Darlington Raceway, even after a fueling issue wrecked his strategy in the Xfinity Series race.

Hamlin had to make his final pit stop early because his Joe Gibbs Racing team failed to get enough gas in his tank on his previous pit stop Saturday.

When teammate Daniel Suarez tried to steal the win by stretching his fuel to the finish, it briefly seemed as if Hamlin would lose a race he dominated. Instead, he ran down Suarez with three laps remaining to deny Suarez his first career victory.

Hamlin led 117 of the 147 laps to give Toyota and JGR the win.

JGR drivers have won eight of the last 10 series races at Darlington, and six of the past 12 Xfinity Series races this season.

“I’m almost glad we didn’t [fill the tank],” Hamlin said.

“We didn’t want a caution to fall and trap us there, but I scraped the wall and kind of misjudged my line one time and got a little right-side damage and the car just stopped turning. I’m not sure if my right-front would have made the distance or not.”

On the fresher tires, with no concern about his damage after the pit stop, he easily chased down Suarez. It was Hamlin’s third series win of the season, and all three have come from the pole.

JGR driver Kyle Busch passed Suarez for second, and Suarez finished third as the fleet of Toyotas swept the top three spots.

Homer Glen woman starts local chapter of 100+ Women Who Care

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com It just made sense to join.

That what’s Beth Rodgers of Homer Glen said about the new Will County chapter of 100+ Women Who Care. Rodgers had seen the information on Facebook and decided its premise – members pool donation money on a quarterly basis and give to one recipient – was worth it.

“A hundred dollars, four times a year is nothing when you think about how much we waste on coffee and silly things,” Rodgers said. “To get a bunch of women together and have one check go to one local charity makes a huge difference. … Will County is such a huge area. We should be able to grow really fast.”

According to the website, Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan, founded the first chapter of 100+ Women Who Care in 2006. Various chapters have since formed throughout North America.

If the Will County chapter could grow to 100 active members, that would mean four Will County nonprofits would each receive a $10,000 a year, said Maribeth Carlson of Homer Glen.

Carlson founded the Will County chapter in May after a friend – who was a member of the Naperville chapter – moved to Oswego and decided to begin a chapter in that location.

She wanted to give back to Will County and 100+ Women Who Care had the potential to help nonprofits in large ways with a minimum amount of time and effort.

Simply put, members meet briefly four times a year, agree as a group where to donate their money and write a $100 check then and there, Carlson said. No event planning, soliciting silent auction items or selling raffle tickets.

There’s another benefit, too, that goes beyond helping nonprofits.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

In May, Maribeth Carlson founded the Will County chapter of 100+ Women Who Care, a charity where members pool their donation money quarterly.

If you go

Which organizations are allowed to be sponsored by 100+ Women Who Care?

• The organization must be based in and serving Will County. The organization must be a nonprofit entity recognized as a 501(c)(3) and must have been previously established (no start-ups).

Is my contribution tax-deductible?

• Yes. Checks are written directly to the local 501(c)(3)organization, not to 100+ Women Who Care.

Who can nominate a charity?

• Any member in good standing may nominate a charity.

How is a charity chosen?

• The organizers of the meeting will collect the names of the organizations from the members as they arrive. At random, three organizations will be selected. The members who nominated those three organizations will each give a 5-minute presentation as to why their chosen organization should receive the donation and then spend five minutes for Q&A. Once a charity receives an

award, can it be considered again?

• Any charity that receives an award must wait 24 months (8 meetings) before it can be nominated again.

Once a charity is presented, if it is not chosen, can it be considered again?

• Yes. In fact, other chapters tell us charities that are presented but not awarded the donation often win the donation the second or third time they are presented.

Persistence pays.

“You can expand your circle of friends and meet like-minded women,” Carlson said.

So far, six woman have joined the Will County chapter.

They decided to donate $600 to Shady Oaks Camp in Homer Glen, a summer camp for people with disabilities. The group presented the donation in-person

this past summer and received a tour, said Cherie McWherter of Lockport.

“It was nice to hand a check to someone and hear, ‘Thank

Scott Steele, executive director of Shady Oaks Camp, said the donation will go directly into next year’s operating budget. Steele said the camp is funded nearly 100 percent on donations and receives no state or federal funds.

“It was great that they picked us,” Steele said. “I was thrilled.”

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Sometimes, you must accept the facts

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Thomas Fuller, a 17th-century English scholar and preacher, said, “Get the facts, or the facts will get you.

And when you get ‘em, get ‘em right, or they will get you wrong.”

That sums up rather well what happened when this deal was played in a social game. What do you think of the auction?

South had a minimum one-heart opening bid, especially with those doubleton honors in the minors, but everyone would bid with that hand these days. West had an easy weak jump overcall.

Now came the key point of the deal. After a weak jump overcall, responder may bid one level higher than he would have done in an uncontested auction.

Here, North’s three-heart bid showed the values for a single raise.

With a game-invitational hand, he would have jumped to four hearts. And with a game-force, he would have cuebid four diamonds.

It is expected that South will play the cards accurately, aided by West’s intervention.

Here, East would have done well to bid three no-trump, which was unbeatable given the 2-2 diamond break. But she did even better when South went on to four hearts with no extra values whatsoever. East happily doubled.

West led the spade seven, and East cleverly put in the jack to find out who held the queen.

South won with her ace and ran the club queen. The defenders took that trick, two diamonds, one spade and, eventually, one trump for down two, plus 500.

South did not face up to the facts and paid a steep price.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff them.

Clean your baby’s outer ears, but do not clean inside the ears.

If your baby seems cold, wrap him in a towel and only uncover the body parts you are washing.

Use a tear-free baby shampoo or mild soap to wash your baby’s scalp and hair.

Support his head with one hand while using the other to wash the area gently.

Wipe off the suds with a damp cloth. Then cover the ear canal and rinse carefully with a small amount of water. Do not pour any water over your baby’s face.

Wipe the mouth, chin and folds of his neck with a wet washcloth.

Wipe his chest, arms and hands, and then pat dry.

Avoid wetting the umbilical cord area. If the area does get wet, gently dab it dry.

Turn your baby on his side or tummy to wash his back.

Wipe the legs and feet, and don’t forget to dry behind the knees and between the toes.

Save the diaper area for last. Remove the diaper and wash the genitals and bottom. (Girls always should be wiped front to back.)

Dry well before putting on a fresh diaper.

Some pediatricians recommend bathing your baby only once or twice a week.

But many parents make nightly baths part of their bedtime ritual, because it’s fun – for them and the baby.

Dear Dr. K: I’m about to become a new mom. I’ve heard it’s best to give my newborn son a sponge bath, but I’ve never done this before.

Can you give me some guidance?

Dear Reader: Don’t worry; giving the baby a sponge bath is easy, even enjoyable, with experience.

Give your baby a sponge bath until the umbilical cord falls off.

When the baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut.

A small stump of cord remains where the baby’s belly button is. That stump of cord usually falls off in the first week or two after the baby is born. Once the cord falls off, you can give your baby a tub bath.

You can give your baby a sponge bath on a changing table, on the counter next to the sink, in a bassinet or even on your lap.

My mother told me when I was very young she sat on the edge of the bathtub when she sponged me.

That way the water and soap from the sponge would fall into the tub.

She reassured me that it was just the water and soap that went down the drain – I was too big.

Whew.

Before you begin, gather all the necessary supplies: a soft washcloth or sponge, cotton balls, gentle soap, baby shampoo, warm (but not hot) water and a dry towel.

Never leave your baby unattended, even for a moment, on any raised surface.

First clean his ears, eyes and nose with a cotton ball that has been dipped in warm water without any soap and wrung out.

Soap is not recommended on the face because it can irritate your baby’s eyes and nose.

Wipe around the eyes, but do not wipe across

Dear Abby: I am a 57-yearold woman who has been diagnosed with cancer. I am receiving good treatment.

of the seriousness of your illness, your doctor/oncologist should be told about this right away. It’s possible your medication can be prescribed in liquid, powder or another form, rather than in pills.

Dear Abby: My beautiful 6-year-old granddaughter has clubfeet. Although she had several surgeries, her ongoing treatment requires her to wear her shoes on the opposite feet.

Every time we go out somewhere, well-intentioned people seem compelled to let us know she has her shoes on wrong.

My granddaughter told me it bothers her and she gets embarrassed when we must explain the reason, and truthfully, I don’t blame her. I worry about her self-esteem.

Have you any suggestions as to what we could say to these people without giving out personal information? –

Pearls Before Swine

Dear Abby: I am marrying a wonderful man I love dearly.

We have planned a dream wedding for ourselves rather quickly.

I secured the venue we wanted. There was no other place or date available to us as backup. At this point, we would lose thousands if we cancel.

After months of meetings and negotiations with the woman who manages the facility, I was shocked to receive a text from my last ex-boyfriend informing me that he is the new general manager of the venue, and will be my point person of contact from now on. Things did not end well in our relationship, and he still owes me money from a loan I gave him right before the breakup.

This is extremely upsetting for me. I can’t imagine having to plan my wedding with someone who mistreated me and took advantage, nor do I want to see him on my wedding day. How do I express this to the staff I worked with until this point so that I won’t sound bitter or petty?

I know people can’t steal our happiness unless we let them, but he was not part of the equation when we chose this location, and we can’t move our nuptials to avoid him.

Please help me see a way out of this because I feel trapped. – Blushing Bride Dear B.B.: If you have been working with a wedding planner, that person could be the point of contact with this man rather than you. If you don’t have one, you and your fiancé – or your maid of honor – should contact your ex and inform him that you both prefer he have no part in planning the wedding and you would prefer he remain out of sight when it occurs.

If he gives you any trouble, contact the owner of the facility, explain your predicament and ask that person to intervene.

If that’s problematic, then you may have to involve an attorney to see what your options are.

Dear Abby: Why do women spend half their lives in

Really?

Katie Couric, Co-Founder EIF’s National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent. Get screened!

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, do everything you can to prevent colorectal cancer. Screening really does save lives!
