Concerned Citizens weighs appeal on Joliet referendum decision

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Advocates of a change in the Joliet City Council are considering an appeal of a judge’s decision to take their referendum off the November ballot.

It does not appear that the referendum could be saved for the ballot this November, but a successful appeal might avert another petition drive, which took about a year and a half this time.

Annabelle Harness, a redistricting counsel for The Campaign Legal Center, which is advising the local advocates, said attorneys are trying to determine whether anything can be done for November, but noted that ballots will be printed soon.

“It’s unlikely anything would be able to be done for the November election,” Harness said.

She said Concerned Citizens of Joliet has not made a decision on whether to appeal. Harness also said lawyers are still reviewing whether a successful appeal could avert another petition drive to get the ref-

erendum on the ballot.

The group will continue to pursue redistricting, said Maria Aracelia Rosas-Urbano, chairwoman for Concerned Citizens of Joliet.

“We’re disappointed in the outcome of the decision by the judge,” she said. “Joliet needs representation. We want to continue to pursue the democratic process, which is to continue to see that we have redistricting.”

As it stands, the referendum to eliminate three at-large council positions and replace them with three district positions will not be on the November ballot. The ballot is being proofread before being sent to the printer as soon as Friday.

“I’m going by what the judge’s decision said,” Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said.

Ballots must be mailed out Sept. 23 to voters in military service and by Sept. 29 to those signed up to vote by mail.

Will County Judge John Anderson issued his ruling Wednesday, calling the referendum “convoluted,” “self-contradic-

LOCAL BRIEFS Armed robbery reported at Frankfort gas station

FRANKFORT – Authorities are looking for a man who reportedly robbed a gas station with a handgun in Frankfort late Wednesday night.

The armed robbery occurred at 9:54 p.m.

Wednesday at the Speedway gas station at 22305 S. Center Road in. A lone male offender entered the business, displayed a silver handgun and demanded money, according to an alert from Frankfort police.

A small amount of cash was taken, and no one was harmed in the incident, according to authorities. The offender fled the area eastbound on foot. A Speedway employee observed a silver Jeep sport utility vehicle exit the south entrance, but authorities said in their statement that it is unknown if this vehicle was involved in the incident.

The suspect is described as a white male, 20 to 25 years of age, slender build, thin goatee or mustache, wearing a maroon hoodie, black jacket and sunglasses.

The incident remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Frankfort Police Department at 815-469-9435.

tory” and “unconstitutional.” The referendum ran into problems because of language that called for it to be implemented by the April council election, a situation that Joliet officials called “a legal impossibility” because of election deadlines and the time needed to map out new council districts.

A lawyer for Concerned Citizens of Joliet called the language a “typo” that could have remained in the referendum and be corrected by delaying the implementation of the referendum until the first election possible.

Voots filed a lawsuit seeking direction from the court on what to do with the referendum.

“I let him make that decision because I thought that was the right way to do it – to put it in the court’s hands,” she said.

Assistant State’s Attorney Phil Mock said in court last week that he believes if Concerned Citizens of Joliet were to be successful in an appeal, the referendum could be put on a future ballot without another petition drive.

Police looking for man who approached children in Minooka, Channahon Police are investigating if the same man approached children this week in Channahon and

Minooka.

An 11-year-old boy was behind Pioneer Pass School on Wednesday afternoon when he was approached by a man who “asked if he wanted a bicycle or a puppy,” Channahon Chief of Police Jeff Wold said.

The boy ran away and told his parents, who notified police. Investigators believe this may be the same man who approached two children Monday in Minooka.

Minooka Chief of Police Justin Meyer said in a statement the children were out about 2 p.m. when a man rode up on a mountain bike. “[He] asked if they wanted the bike he was on or [if they wanted] his daughter’s old bicycle that was in his vehicle,” Meyer stated. “The two young children, not knowing this man, ran away from him and did what they were supposed to do by not engaging in conversation and telling their parents, who then called the police.”

The man was last seen bicycling on Rivers Edge Drive in Minooka.

He has been described as a white male in his late 30s who is about 5-foot 4-inches tall. On Monday, he was wearing blue jeans and an olive green shirt.

“We’re going to have extra officers on patrol [Thursday] afternoon,” Wold said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Minooka police at 815-467-2298 or Channahon police at 815-467-5152.

Wolf the dog tries out devices that help him walk

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It’s tough for Wolf when he tries to walk around.

Wolf, 3, is a big German Shepherd-Labrador mix who has to get by with three legs.

He was 3 months old when his elbow on his left foreleg was shattered, said his owner, Eileen McKee, a veterinary technology professor at Joliet Junior College.

He’s much better when he runs.

“When he runs, he looks good. It looks like he has all four legs,” she said.

JJC students who are part of the Orthotics and Prosthetics Technology program are working on giving Wolf a prosthetic device to help him walk better.

They outfitted Wolf with two devices Thursday for him to try out and scanned his other legs for further work using the college’s Maker Lab, which has digital fabrication equipment and other machines typically used by students studying architecture, engineering, or orthotics and prosthetics.

When Wolf was not adjusting to the experience of using a fourth prosthetic leg, he spent his time lying on the floor panting heavily, or, to the amusement of the students, going after snacks on one of their desks.

Wolf presents a special challenge for the students and their teachers because his amputation level is high and he doesn’t have a stump.

Mike Brncick, the OPT program coordinator and adviser, compared Wolf’s case to one where a human lost his or her leg up to the hip level.

Control of a prosthesis is more difficult if someone has a high amputation level, he said.

“If somebody doesn’t have a shoulder, you have all those joints [in an arm] you have to somehow control, using a prosthesis,”

Brncick said.

Brncick watched Thursday as the students strapped a prosthetic device on Wolf with a loopshaped pylon, or support structure.

McKee used treats to encourage Wolf to take his first tentative steps.

After trying it out, Wolf next was wearing another device called the “egg beater,” given its resemblance to the cooking tool. Brncick said the egg beater had a little more stability.

Forest Preserve District’s first K-9 dies Handler Tracy Chapman: ‘She’s been a part of our lives since 2005’

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Forest Preserve District of Will County’s first K-9 officer died during the Labor Day weekend.

Rosie, a 12-year-old search-andrescue bloodhound, was diagnosed with arthritis in early 2012 and retired later that year after the rigors required for search-and-rescue operations became too much of a hindrance.

In 2005, Forest Preserve District Chief of Police Tracy Chapman – who at the time was an officer – volunteered to become Rosie’s handler.

She spent two weeks training with the then 2-year-old bloodhound at Canines for Kids in North Carolina, a nonprofit that trains search dogs and their handlers.

Chapman said she trained twice a month in the years with Rosie to maintain their skills. She also trained with her twice at weeklong events for bloodhounds in New York state.

“The hard part for all the students [is] we’re trying to figure out well what would be the best [device], the best pylon for the dog,” he said.

Once Wolf was done trying the two prosthetic devices, Brncick scanned him using a tablet device.

He said a scan of his sound side – the side with his right foreleg – can be reversed and used for his missing left side.

Using the Maker Lab, the students can make a mold of some type of pylon that might even look like his leg and still be functional.

“That will be the hard part,”

dence that the robber dropped along his escape path.

It wasn’t in her job description to help find criminals, but it was on that day that Rosie’s ability to track scents got the job done.

During the seven years Rosie was with the district, she successfully assisted several municipal police departments in locating missing people and in criminal investigations.

Rosie also was a figure in the community. She accompanied Chapman to presentations at schools and public events, such as the annual “Hugs for Hounds” Easter egg hunts for dogs.

“She has some fans out there,” Chapman said. “She was a wellloved dog. She had the best demeanor.”

From the moment Chapman brought Rosie into the district, she also was a member of the Chapman family. Her 8-year-old daughter was fond to Rosie.

“She grew up with knowing Rosie as our dog,” Chapman said. “It was sad to see Rosie’s health go downhill at the end. She’s been a part of our lives since 2005.”

Lincoln statue to be dedicated Saturday at cemetery in Elwood If you go

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – A life-sized statue of Abraham Lincoln will be dedicated Saturday at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, culminating years of fundraising.

The statue is the first of a president at a national veterans cemetery, said Don Walden, chairman of the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery Veterans Support Committee, which raised $150,000 and visited Washington, D.C., at one point to get approval for the statue.

“It’s quite an honor for us to have this statue in place,” Walden said.

Walden will participate in the hourlong dedication ceremony that starts at 1 p.m. The keynote speaker will be Diana J. Ohman, executive director of the National Cemetery Midwest District. A Lincoln interpreter will deliver the president’s second inaugural address. Music will be performed.

The program for the event lists 75 people, organizations and local governments that donated to the statue project, which include a platform area and seating that will provide a spot for people to reflect while visiting the cemetery.

Walden said there were more donors

than could be included on the list.

“We couldn’t have accomplished it without them,” he said. “It’s been phenomenal. Elwood and Joliet and Will County should be so proud that this was done.”

The statue area also will provide a good spot for students to gather on field trips to the cemetery, Walden said Lincoln started the national cemetery system as a resting place for soldiers who died fighting in the Civil War. Walden said he hopes the statue setting will provide a spot for young people to learn more about the president for whom the cemetery is named.

“It represents a good person, and it’s so educational for our field trips,” Walden said.

He said the statue is along the Memorial Walkway. It is 6 feet, 4 inches tall, corresponding with Lincoln’s height.

Groundbreaking held for rework of Shorewood entryway

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Land at the northwest corner of the intersection of Routes 59 and 52 in Shorewood owned by one area family since before the Great Depression is being redeveloped after several years of planning.

Elected officials, planners and the Anderson family gathered Thursday morning for a groundbreaking ceremony.

The property at different times has been home to Anderson’s Family Restaurant, Baba’s restaurant and a service station.

The property currently has two buildings – one facing Route 52 and one facing Route 59 – that are home to a handful of businesses.

Loose gravel and uneven pavement sit in the area where the restaurant once was. That area will have a 5,822-squarefoot, brick-faced building added that will serve as an anchor to the development.

Facades on the existing buildings will be enhanced and a drive-thru will be added to the Route 59 side of the new building.

The family is hoping to attract casual dining establishments, such as namebrand coffee shops and sandwich shops, managing partner Dave Anderson said.

His mother, Donna Anderson, teared up when telling the crowd that this moment is for her husband, and earlier gen-

Dave said his ancestors lived in a home across the street decades ago but had to sell it to keep the family restaurant property.

They moved into a cabin on the remain-

ing site.

Dave’s brothers, Dan, Doug and Don, also have played a role in keeping the property in the family. Construction of the redevelopment should begin in Octo-

ber, Dave said.

Mark Koenig, of The Koenig Group real estate services, said stakeholders have been working toward redevelopment for several years and it appears it’s finally happening. The property currently has four entry/exit ways. The Illinois Department of Transportation required two of them be removed and the two remaining ones be improved.

Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman called the redevelopment a “huge step” for Shorewood’s major entryway. More than 50,000 vehicles pass the property each day.

Chapman believes the project, which Koenig said goes above and beyond Shorewood’s design requirements, will lead to an improvement of all properties surrounding the intersection.

“This is the domino that needs to fall,” Chapman said. “I’ve been around long enough to know, that once the first domino falls, the rest line up behind it.”

Shorewood is using an old firehouse across from the plaza as storage and has purchased houses at the southwest corner of the intersection as they come on the market. The village’s plan calls for redevelopment of the entire area.

Anyone interested in leasing space at Anderson’s Crossroads Plaza is encouraged to call The Koenig Group at 815-546-1679.

What is Palliative Care?

SPONSORED BY

Palliative Care is centered on helping patients and their families with symptoms associated with their disease or condition.

Palliative care places a high value on quality of life for children and adults living with a serious illness. It can help address and relieve the emotional and physical burdens of patients living with ongoing symptoms who feel they could benefit from other care options. Palliative care provides an added layer of comfort for those seeking aggressive treatments.

Palliative care should be considered if: - Health continues to decline - Symptoms affect the quality of life - Daily tasks of living alone are no longer manageable and more support is required - You experience frequent hospital admissions - You experience intense, ongoing symptoms on a day to day basis Other indicators may include: - Confusion or delirium - Fatigue and weakness - Significant weight loss - Pain - Shortness of breath

- Agitation or stress - Anxiety - Depression - Psychological distress The Palliative Consulting Services of Joliet Area Community Hospice can assist you with: - Better understanding of your condition and your choices for medical care - Relief from symptoms including pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite, numbness and problems with sleep - Strength to carry on with daily life - Improved ability to tolerate medical treatments We work with your primary physician so you will not have to give up your own doctor.

Some insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid, typically cover palliative care.

It is processed like other medical services such as cardiology or oncology consults. Your disease does not have to be terminal to seek palliative care. We welcome any questions from patients or family members. Please call Joliet Area Community Hospice to speak with a member of our Palliative Care Team at (815) 740-4104.

The playground is a symbol of putting the puzzle together one piece at a time,” the organization said in the release.

The playground contains multiple special needs, sensory pieces of equipment including high-backed swings with harness, omni spin (wheelchair transferrable merry-go-round), sensory wall, cozy dome and more. Alongside the

special needs equipment is a traditional structure to include four slides, multiple climbers and storefront with seats. The playground also features a new swing set and a double 34-foot zip line.

The playground cost $202,268, with funds raised through multiple fundraisers and sponsors including: Village of Coal City, A Contribution In Memory of Thomas Jeschke, Sportsman for Charity, George and Judith Kaluzny, Akzo Nobel and Coal City Public Works.

Hearing Loss from Headphones and Earbuds: A Growing Epidemic SPONSORED BY

By Dawn Kovacik, M.A., CCC-A Listening to loud music has long been a known cause of hearing loss – in fact, it is the fastest growing cause.

Noise-induced hearing loss from headphones is common among young adults. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that 16 percent of individuals ages 12 to 19 have hearing loss, as do 15 percent of adults between 20 and 69.

Many who hear a ringing in their ears after listening to music on their smartphones don’t realize it’s tinnitus — often related to inner ear damage and hearing loss.

Hearing loss can lead to health issues like dementia, and reduce one’s quality of life. Prevention is important and best done by avoiding listening to music through headphones and earbuds.

Dr. James Foy explained to the American Osteopathic Association said that people should

limit listening to music through headphones to an hour a day at 60 percent volume. Lower volume lets you safely play it for longer periods of time.

Use normal speakers for even greater hearing safety.

Additionally, opt for headphones over earbuds. Both can cause damage but according to Medical Daily, earbuds expose you to an added 9 decibels. High-quality headphones block out background noise so you don’t need to crank up the volume.

Many mistakenly believe hearing loss is just age-related, which is untrue. In the U.S. 65% of all people with hearing loss are under age 65.

Symptoms vary. College students might have ringing in their ears after a night out or experience difficulty hearing a professor in the classroom.

Young adults may have trouble navigating conversation in a meeting when multiple coworkers talk at once. Hearing doesn’t heal, but hearing aids can help.

If you are concerned about hearing loss schedule a free hearing test with a hearing healthcare professional at AccuQuest Hearing Centers.

Lockport looks to demolish residential home to alleviate flooding

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media Correspondent LOCKPORT – Lockport officials hope to finally solve a long-standing flooding problem in a southwest portion of the city by buying and demolishing the most afflicted residence.

The City Council’s Committee of the Whole was presented Wednesday with a resolution to buy and demolish the home at 606 S. St. for costs not to exceed $200,000.

Extreme flooding at the low-situated home has been an issue for years and owners LeeAnn and Michael Paisly-Pardon have been working with the city to solve the problem, according to City Administrator Ben Benson.

Drainage problems on South Street and Mary Ann Lane, as well as Lawrence Street, had led to the city including in its capital improvement plan a project to

Limacher Bicentennial Park to hold Bears event

JOLIET – On Sunday, Joliet’s Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park invites area residents to the “Bears! Beers! BBQ! Bands! And Bags!” extravaganza, which starts at 10 a.m.

The Bears game will be on the big screen outdoors. It’s free to get in; all-you-can-eat-

Wagner told the committee the site could also be sold to the park district in the future because no parks are in the area. The City Council will vote on the measure once contracts are finalized.

Separately, council members also approved Wednesday a license agreement to allow the HellsGate Haunted House to use the Metra Station parking lot as a location to shuttle visitors to and from the attraction for four extended weekends from its opening the night on Oct. 6 through Oct. 31.

According to the agreement, the owner will be required to enter into a security plan covering traffic management and public safety with the Lockport Police Department; reimburse the city for all extra costs associated with providing police and emergency management services; clean the lot for commuter use in the morning.

install a closed drainage system on 17th and Lawrence streets – but that would not have started for years, according to a July memo from Director of Engineering Amy Wagner.

The city initially estimated spending about $130,000 on the project, but further research led to increasing that amount to $300,000 in the current budget, Benson said.

However, the most recent estimate from Baxter and Woodman Consulting Engineers puts the minimum cost of the project at $650,000 to $765,000. Engineers have said that having a permeable empty field on the property – a 10,098-square-foot corner lot – should alleviate the drainage problems in the surrounding area and that few other homes are affected and to a lesser degree, Benson said.

With the house appraised about $134,500 and an additional $12,500 for the

Paisly-Pardons for relocation costs, and including demolition, closing and contingency costs, the city would not pay more than $200,000 for the purchase, Benson told committee members.

“This is a scenario in which we feel by spending no more than $200,000 … we can save $500,000 in capital expenses,” he said.

LeeAnn Paisly-Pardon said water comes into their home “like a river” and said the family, who have lived there for 11 years and have invested a “a lot of money into the property,” did not plan to move. She added that “we don’t want the city to spend $800,000 to fix the problem” and if it meant the family had to move, “then that is what we need to do.”

The city has $100,000 in its budget for a possible retention/detention pond if drainage continues to be a problem after the home is demolished.

barbecue is available for $15. Beer also will be sold; no outside alcohol will be allowed.

Tailgating is permitted, so those bringing their own food should come early.

Other events will include, a bags tournament ($10/ team, $5 single games); dunka-Packer-fan in the dunk tank (3 tries/$5); live bands before and after the game; a “Best

Bears Fan Contest,” and a “Da Coach” look- will hold a Hospice Benefit from 2 to 11 p.m. a-like contest. The park is at 201 W. Jefferson Saturday at Ingalls Park, 20 N. Park Road in Joliet. Cost $25 at the door.

Joliet tax preparer pleads guilty to tax fraud SHAW MEDIA CHICAGO – A Joliet tax preparer has pleaded guilty to charges of filing fraudulent tax returns and defrauding the state out of more than $400,000.

Gerrie Cokenour, 42, of Joliet, pleaded guilty to laundering money derived from a felony tax preparation fraud scheme, according to a news release from Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

Dwelling in your body right now are stem cells, the body’s own internal repair system. Scientists discovered that amniotic fluid contains a high concentration of these amazing, regenerating stem cells, which can be saved and re-purposed for restoring arthritic shoulders, elbows, knees, hips, wrists, backs, and more.

“There are 30 times more stem cells per volume in amniotic stem cells than adult stem cells. They have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, plus human growth factors.

They speed up the body’s own healing abilities, with no risk of tissue rejection,” explains Dr. Frank Ostir, Ostir Physical Medicine in Joliet. The amniotic stem cells are derived from caesarian section deliveries; certified U.S. Food and Drug Administration labs screen the fluid.

“Some patients have been told they aren’t candidates for surgery, or need to wait a few years for their joint replacement. They pursue regenerative medicine, and see results within the first two months following treatment,” Ostir says.

“The stem cell treatment uses guided imagery from fluoroscopy and ultrasound technology, allowing us to inject the stem cells in the exact site of affliction,” Ostir says.

After the 15-minute procedure, the healing process begins that’s more than three times faster than standardized care. Unlike pain-relieving shots, stem cell injections don’t mask pain, they help restore the injured tissue.

Ostir adds, “The patient usually rests on the day of the injection, and may then resume regular activity. About 80 percent of healing occurs in the first two months, due to the rate of the stem cells replicating. Healing continues, and we follow up with the patient.

Lady Chablis, transgender ‘Midnight’ star, dies at 59

By RUSS BYNUM

The Associated Press SAVANNAH, Ga. – The Lady Chablis, the transgender performer who became an unlikely celebrity for her role in the 1994 best-seller “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” died Thursday in Savannah. She was 59.

Chablis’ sister, Cynthia Ponder, confirmed she died at Candler Hospital. A close friend, Cale Hall, said Chablis died from pneumonia and had been in the hospital for the past month.

A modern, nonfiction take on Southern Gothic storytelling, author John Berendt’s “Midnight” thrust Savannah into the pop-culture spotlight.

And the sassy, blunt-spoken Chablis rode the book’s popularity to a level of fame that was rare for transgender performers at the time.

“The legacy that she wanted to leave was one of ‘believe in who you are and never let the world change who you are,’” Ponder said. “Love yourself first and respect yourself first and others will love and respect you.”

Chablis insisted on playing herself in the 1997 “Midnight” movie directed by Clint Eastwood. That same year she published an autobiography, “Hiding My Candy.”

Berendt’s book had no shortage of quirky, true-life characters – a voodoo

Chablis was easily the most popular, Berendt said Thursday.

“She’s the one that people asked me about most often,” Berendt said in a phone interview. “At that time, transsexuals weren’t that well known and weren’t that well understood. There weren’t that many in show business.

And she was one of the first to be accepted by a wider audience.”

Her birth name was Benjamin Edward Knox, but she legally changed it to The Lady Chablis around the time of the “Midnight” movie, said Hall, who knew Chablis since the 1980s.

Chablis had performed at Club One in downtown Savannah since its opening day in 1988, said Hall, the nightclub’s co-owner.

When “Midnight” mania hit in the 1990s, her act became a popular draw for tourists lured to the Georgia coast

Hall of Fame boxer Bobby Chacon dies at 64 The ASSOCIATED PRESS LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. – Hall of Fame boxer Bobby Chacon died Wednesday under hospice care for dementia.

He was 64.

Riverside County coroner’s Sgt. Brent Seacrest said Chacon died at his home “with his family present at his bedside.”

Inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005, the former WBC featherweight and super featherweight champion went 59-7-1 with 47 knockouts in a 16-year pro career. The Southern California native engaged in numerous memorable fights, including victories over rival Rafael “Bazooka” Limon, Cornelius Boza-Edwards, Danny Lopez and Ruben Olivares.

He also beat future trainer Freddie Roach and lost to Alexis Arguello and Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini.

“One of the most exciting fighters in the history of the West Coast, an amazing blood-and-guts brawler who took on the best fighters in three divisions,” said Ricky Farris, president of the West Coast Boxing Hall of Fame.

Born on Nov. 28, 1951, Chacon was nicknamed “Schoolboy” because he turned pro while studying at Cal State Northridge, a university near his birthplace in Pacoima on the north end of the San Fernando Valley.

His charismatic fighting style and good looks made him a fixture on the California boxing scene from his pro debut in 1972, fighting 20 times at the Forum in Inglewood and nine times at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles. Chacon’s successes were usually followed by struggles, either caused by superior opponents or his own demons.

“Bobby’s life was not one without struggle and tragedy, but I pray he has

“There’s never any good time to strike. There is never any good time to not strike,” Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said as union members met this week. “We will listen to what our members are telling us.”

There’s likely enough Karen Lewis support. About 88 percent of voting members authorized a strike in December. The upcoming vote is to provide additional legal cover in case of challenges, according to union officials.

The union rejected the district’s latest offer earlier this year.

Lewis declined to discuss the latest details, citing ongoing meetings. She said teachers face increasingly difficult circumstances after cutbacks, including for special education, and a violent summer for students.

District officials warned of a strike’s impact, saying both sides have come close to agreement.

“A strike can be averted, and CPS will work tirelessly to make sure children’s education and progress is not interrupted,” spokeswoman Emily Bittner said.

CPS is already experiencing massive financial problems.

Credit rating agencies have rated the district at “junk” status. The district’s $5.4 billion budget relies on increased property taxes, borrowing and $215 million in state money contingent on a statewide pension overhaul. However, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats running the Legislature are locked in an unprecedented battle over a full budget, which has overshadowed other issues at the Capitol. A stopgap spending plan allowing schools to open on time expires in January.

Schools CEO Forrest Claypool has said if the state doesn’t come through, the district will have to cut money from classrooms.

Degorski’s lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, said the jury wasn’t told Lockett would split a nearly $100,000 reward with a friend if Degorski was convicted.

A spokeswoman for the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office said it’s reviewing the filing and doesn’t have further comment.

CHICAGO – Teachers in the nation’s third-largest school district will vote this month on whether they want to strike as contract talks with Chicago Public Schools ramp up again.

The last round of negotiations led to a strike in 2012, Chicago’s first teacher walkout in 25 years. This time around, pay and pensions are among the main issues as the cash-strapped district faces uncertainty over state financial help.

The uncertainty with a possible strike looms over the district’s approximately 400,000 students, who started fall classes this week after one of Chi- WHAT ARE THE ISSUES? cago’s deadliest summers in decades.

News from across the state Man convicted of Palatine massacre seeks hearing

CHICAGO – A man convicted of one of the Chicago area’s most infamous crimes is seeking a court hearing to review newly discovered evidence, saying a key prosecution witness allegedly lied to get a reward worth tens of thousands of dollars.

James Degorski was convicted in 2009 for killing seven workers in 1993 at a Brown’s Chicken restaurant in Palatine, the Chicago Tribune reported. The 44-year-old is serving a life sentence at Menard Correctional Center in southern Illinois.

A petition filed on behalf of Degorski said the witness, Anne Lockett, is “a troubled woman, prone to dishonesty.” It also alleges she had implicated another former boyfriend as well as Degorski during the incident.

U of Illinois president receives $100,000 bonus

URBANA – University of Illinois President Timothy Killeen will be paid a $100,000 performance bonus for his first year on the job.

University trustees voted at their regular meeting Thursday to award Killeen the bonus.

Under his contract, the bonus was the maximum Killeen could have received for reaching performance goals. His salary is $600,000 per year.

Killeen leads the university system and its campuses in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago and Springfield. He finished his first year on the job in May. The university has increased enrollment on all three campuses during that period. Killeen also pushed for tuition freezes that trustees

Prosecutor in high-profile Chicago trials leaving

CHICAGO – A federal prosecutor who played central roles in several high-profile fraud and corruption trials in Chicago is leaving to start her own law firm.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago announced Julie B. Porter’s departure Wednesday after her 12 years in one of the nation’s busiest judicial districts.

Porter participated in investigations that led to corruption convictions of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. And she was among the prosecutors who secured guilty verdicts in the fraud trial of Conrad Black, a media mogul whose empire included the Chicago Sun-Times.

She also helped convict a well-connected businessman dubbed Illinois’ King of Clout, William Cellini. During trial closings, Porter played a wiretap record-

WHEN WAS THE LAST STRIKE?

Teachers staged a one-day walkout in April to protest proposals they said would cut compensation and to highlight state budget problems. District officials lodged an unfair labor practices complaint, calling the strike illegal. An administrative law judge will take up that question in November.

The last major walkout was in 2012, during former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel’s first term as Chicago mayor. Teachers picketed for seven days over evaluations, job security and classroom conditions. The union remained among Emanuel’s harshest critics, particularly as he pushed the closure of dozens of schools the next year.

In the end, Emanuel got a school day extension and was able to empower principals to make teacher hiring decisions. Teachers, who received wide support from parents, were able to soften a new evaluation process and win some job protections.

2 brothers get prison for holdups, wore Bulls caps

DALLAS – Authorities said two Dallas brothers who wore Bulls caps while committing several armed robberies are going to prison for dozens of years.

Prosecutors in Dallas said 27-year-old Cedric Ray Jones and 31-year-old Damien Antoine Jones in 2015 pleaded guilty to multiple counts related to robbery and weapons violations. The charges, filed after several business holdups in 2014, included interference with commerce by robbery.

Cedric Jones on Wednesday was sentenced to nearly 48 years in federal prison. Damien Jones received a 59-year prison term.

Investigators dubbed the robbers the “Bulls Cap Bandits” because the suspects wore caps associated with the NBA team.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Russia: Israel, Palestinian Authorities haven’t released a leaders to meet for talks possible motive for the gunfire MOSCOW – Russia’s Foreign Ministry announced on Thursday that the Israeli and the Palestinian leaders have agreed “in principle” to meet in Moscow for talks in what the Russians hope will relaunch the Mideast peace process after a more than twoyear break.

But the wide gaps between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas left it uncertain if or when the meeting will take place, and raised doubts about whether they would make any progress if they do get together.

In another twist, an Israeli TV station reported that a document discovered by two Israeli researchers indicated that Abbas had worked for the Soviet intelligence agency, the KGB, while living in Syria in the early 1980s. The professors said they were coming forward with the information to discredit Moscow as an honest broker in peace talks.

that erupted shortly before 9 a.m. at Alpine High School in Alpine, about 220 miles southeast of El Paso. The shooting was followed by a series of unrelated threats made by a male caller that added to the chaos of the day and diverted law enforcement from the high school.

“That’s ridiculous for someone to call in something like this when we’ve got this situation going on,” Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson told radio station KVLF.

Officials: IS battlefield losses won’t end threat

WASHINGTON – Despite the Islamic State group’s loss of territory, the Islamic extremists will continue to pose serious national security problems for the U.S. and Europe in coming years, the directors of the FBI and CIA said Thursday.

“The threat that I think will dominate the next five years for the FBI will be the impact of the crushing of the caliphate, which will happen,” FBI Director James Comey told a national security conference in Washington. “Through the fingers of that crush are going to come hundreds of hardened killers, who are not going to die on the battlefield. They are going to flow out.”

Forum puts focus on how Clinton is judged The ASSOCIATED PRESS WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – For months, Hillary Clinton’s supporters have griped that she’s held to a higher, harder standard than Donald Trump. After Wednesday night’s forum on national security, those complaints became a rallying cry.

In the opening segment of the made-for-TV event, moderator Matt Lauer interrupted Clinton’s answer to his first question, about what it takes to be commander in chief, to set up 10 minutes of questions about her use of a private email system and her vote for the Iraq war.

Trump seemed to skate by a half hour later as he repeated – unchallenged – the false claim that he was against the war, even though he voiced support for it in a 2002 interview. When Lauer introduced a question about how the Republican nominee is boning up on issues, he told Trump, “nobody would expect you” to have delved deeply into foreign policy.

The forum underscored a debate that’s rapidly becoming a focal point in the race: Is the first female presidential nominee of a major U.S. party being judged fairly? Clinton’s answer, unsurprisingly, is no.

“I don’t understand the reason for it,” Clinton said Thursday. “I find it frustrating, but it’s just part of the landscape that we live in and we just keep forging ahead.”

Throughout his White House campaign, Trump has repeatedly defied the conventional rules of politics, winning his party’s nomination despite a history of corporate bankruptcies and lawsuits that would have sunk a more traditional candidate. With impunity, he repeats statements debunked by fact checkers.

Two months before Election Day, Trump’s policies remain largely unformed. In

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton waves Thursday after speaking at a rally at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C. some cases, as with his plans to defeat the Islamic State group, Trump said they’re purposefully shrouded in secrecy.

At the forum, he said the best way to address sexual assault inside the armed services would be to “set up a court system within the military” – something that has existed since the Revolutionary War. Meanwhile, Clinton’s campaign this week published a 250-page book detailing her various policy plans.

Trump has refused to release his tax returns, while she’s disclosed decades of filings.

And while she’s apologized for a long list of past policy ideas and personal choices, including her use of a private email account while serving as secretary of state, he’s acknowledged just once that there are statements “I do regret.” He’s never specified what, exactly, he was sorry about.

Clinton’s campaign acknowledges that some of her liabilities stem from self-imposed errors, including her difficulty explaining the decision to install a private email server in her New York home.

Republican opponents have no shortage of examples which they say demonstrate that it’s Clinton who expects deferential treatment. Even some Clin-

ton supporters will admit that she has mishandled – and often completely avoided – questions about her email and her family’s charitable foundation, fueling scrutiny of both.

But they also believe her missteps have been given far more weight than those of Trump.

“He’s displayed a reckless level of ignorance and intolerance and that needs to be called out,” Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said.

“He should be held to the same standard of truthfulness of his statements.”

As part of their effort, Clinton and her team have begun tip-toeing into a topic they’ve often tried to avoid: sexism.

After Wednesday’s forum ended, Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, tweeted a critique of Clinton’s performance as “angry + defensive the entire time – no smile and uncomfortable.”

“People. Reince actually said HRC needed to smile more.

This is real,” tweeted Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri.

Stuart Stevens, a vocal Trump critic and senior strategist to 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney, tweeted: “In front of a weather map, smiling a lot might be a job requirement. In the Oval Office, it’s not.”

OMAHA, Neb. – The American Indians challenging an oil pipeline that would cross four states have some legal advantages in a courtroom, particularly their tribe’s status as a sovereign nation with long ties to the land in question.

But stopping a major project like the Dakota Access pipeline after construction has begun is difficult, and even if the Standing Rock Sioux win in federal court, the end result might simply be an altered route.

A judge is expected to rule Friday on whether to block construction of the pipeline that is supposed to pass close to the tribal reservation near the North Dakota-South Dakota border. No matter what the court decides, opponents seem prepared for a long fight, following many of the same tactics used to defeat the Canada-to-Nebraska segment of the Keystone XL pipeline.

The tribe’s lawsuit alleges that the Dakota Access pipeline violates several federal laws, including the National Historic Preservation Act, and threatens the region’s water supply and sacred ancient sites outside of the 2.3-million acre reservation.

The tribe argues that the Corps should not have used a streamlined permit process when it reviewed the pipeline and that engineers did not do enough to consult with tribal members about the $3.8 billion project as required by the historic-preservation law.

The Corps disputes those allegations.

The consultation requirement is an example of how the tribe’s status as a sovereign nation could give it more influence, said Tom King, a consultant who has worked with tribes and businesses on historic-preservation issues for roughly five decades.

As a sovereign nation, the tribe is entitled to a formal process for airing any concerns. That process does

studies public policy and has written a book about public attitudes on energy.

This week’s ruling isn’t likely to settle the dispute. Appeals are likely no matter who wins this round.

There have been other legal challenges and protests of the pipeline, with the most aggressive ones in North Dakota and Iowa. Several dozen protesters have been arrested after chaining themselves to construction equipment or otherwise trying to block the work.

The fight over the Keystone XL lasted seven years. Forcing a significant delay in the Dakota Access project might be considered a victory in itself.

“Delays are often critical elements to victory. It’s a death by a thousand cuts.

Gun debate should focus on behavior, not the weapons SPRINGFIELD – For years, I’ve watched Illinois lawmakers debate issues concerning gun control and just rolled my eyes.

Such debates generate far more heat than light.

There is plenty of emotion on both sides but little in the way of new ideas.

And at the end of the day, very few changes.

Just this past month, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a bill to make it a felony for a person who has not been issued a state firearm owner’s identification card to bring guns into Illinois with the intent to sell or deliver them.

It’s a step in the right direction.

Perhaps a baby step, but a step nonetheless.

The bill passed the Illinois General Assembly unanimously.

The one thing that folks on both sides of the gun debate can agree on is that criminals and seriously mentally ill people shouldn’t be packing heat.

The different views on guns in Illinois are more often cultural and geo-

VIEWS Scott Reeder graphic than partisan.

I grew up on a farm near Galesburg and hunted with my father or brother. It was a good time to talk and enjoy the outdoors and occasionally bring something home for supper.

I was also taught to have a reverent respect for the lethality of guns and how to handle firearms in a courteous manner. But I have friends who grew up in Chicago whose experiences with firearms were far different than mine.

When I hear gunfire through my bedroom window, I wonder if rabbit or squirrel season has begun. They’d wonder if the Latin Kings or Black Disciples are at it again.

As the parent of three young daughters, I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in a place where gun violence is a way of life.

Recently, I enrolled in a conceal carry class. I wanted to learn more about what is becoming a growing movement in our country.

The folks taking the class cut across the socio/economic spectrum. There was a truck driver and a dentist. There were older folks and twentysomethings. And I sat next to a young mother who could outshoot everyone in the class.

What struck me was how ordinary they were.

I didn’t see any gang colors – unless you count camouflage. I found my classmates to be polite and concerned about the well being of their families.

Those who support more restrictions on guns would have you believe that folks who want to carry are Dirty Harry types ready to shove a revolver in someone’s face and shout, “Go ahead, make my day.”

I’ve never met a gun owner like that. And I hope I never do.

According to the Congressional Research Service, there are more than 300 million guns in the United

States. That means this nation has more guns than people.

No matter what laws are passed, that is a number that is unlikely to get smaller anytime soon.

In fact, every time a gun control measure is proposed, gun sales go up.

I don’t drink, but I can see the foolishness that was once prohibition.

Gun ownership isn’t just a pervasive custom like alcohol consumption, the U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed that it is a constitutional right.

Guns are just a tool that can bring security or despair.

As a society, we need to focus on the underlying reasons for violence: mental illness, the lack of mentoring, particularly of boys and young men, and the need for swift, certain consequences for those who choose to do harm to others.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Listen before you criticize

To the Editor: I read The (Joliet) Herald-News article in the Sunday, Sept. 4 edition and was disappointed that none of them even mention the Governor’s Task Force Final Report Conclusion and Next Steps, submitted Dec. 17, 2015, that was prepared by the new lieutenant governor, and a large group of educators and leaders across the state.

I also was disappointed that Mike Paone didn’t remember what was given to him and the Chamber leaders, a suggestion on federal tax reform months ago that’s now on the web; everyonepaystaxes.com that has more than 5,000 hits in the last eight weeks.

Both reached the same conclusion: It’s at the local government that all the action is taking place. How can you criticize someone when you don’t listen to what they’re saying?

According to the reporters, state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield, said we are spending too much time on

short-term issues and not enough on long-term solutions.

I would suggest all of you just look at these two documents and get back together as soon as possible with the same reporters and have another meeting for us to hear. After all, the people are the boss and you need to be thinking of them. It’s their taxes and benefits you are talking about.

It even provides a roadmap on how government could work and fits what Gov. Bruce Rauner wants – businesses with lower taxes and creating more jobs in America.

OFF TO FLYING START

Schneider, Lewis women’s volleyball team making their mark

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Lewis University’s women’s volleyball team entered the season with plenty of recognition, in its conference and nationally.

Coach Lorelee Smith’s Flyers not only were selected as the preseason favorite in the Great Lakes Valley Conference East Division and also were ranked 18th in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Division II preseason poll.

Last weekend, Lewis lived up to those rankings by opening its season 4-0 at its Flyer Festival, which included a 3-0 win over No. 3 Palm Beach Atlantic on Thursday and a 3-1 victory over No. 4 Southwest Minnesota State on Saturday.

Junior middle hitter Aly Schneider was recognized as the GLVC Player of the Week and also received the Sports Import/AVCA National Player of the Week honor, becoming the first Flyer to win that award since Andrea Morrone in 2007.

Their start resulted in Lewis moving up to No. 8 in the AVCA’s Week 1 poll.

“We had a really strong push at the end [last year] so they put us in the rankings and when you start in the rankings, people really pay attention to how you do the first weekend,” Smith said. “I had no idea if we’d start off that strong in our home tournament. But the girls found their groove and played the way that a team would play in midseason. It was a lot of fun.

“We’ve got some young people who

are going to contribute right away, but you never know if they’re going to catch on early enough. But credit to all of our newcomers, since any time we were explaining something, they were eyes wide open and were asking questions, so they didn’t slow down the team’s growth one bit. It was a Cinderella weekend since everything went really well. It was a great way to start and I really couldn’t ask for any more.”

20 OSWEGO 2, PLAINFIELD NORTH 1 (25-21, 23-25, 27-25)

Plainfield North takes Oswego to the limit in loss

By KRISTIN SHARP

ksharp@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – In Thursday’s overtime tiebreaker set between Southwest Prairie Conference opponents, it came down to Oswego’s experience over Plainfield North’s youth.

The visiting Oswego girls volleyball team took advantage of a front-row error on North to put Oswego ahead, 26-25.

On match point, North junior Natalie Sullivan set the ball for an apparent tip kill from the outside hitter. In a battle at the net with Oswego’s front row, a North player fell to the ground and rolled under the net. The line violation clinched Oswego’s 2-1 victory (25-21, 23-25, 27-25).

North coach Tracey Marshall marked the loss as a sign of progress for her young Tiger squad after falling to Oswego, 2-0, at the Plainfield North Invite last month.

“The last time we played them, we lost in two, 25-17 each time, so in a month’s time to go from that to this is very important,” Marshall said.

“We made adjustments on defense and definitely making adjustments on the block, but unfortunately we didn’t do it enough. It was enough in Game 2 and the top of Game 3 to make a difference, but we have a very young squad so when it got tight – 20-20 and 23-22, those are key times that we lost a little bit of focus.”

Oswego (4-4, 1-1) established an early 9-6 lead in Set 1 and took command behind the strong attack of senior outside hitter Holly Behrends. The University of North Carolina-Greensboro commit finished with a game-high 17 kills.

“Their key outside attack is Holly, and we told them that at the beginning, but she got a lot of kills right away be-

Smith, who owns 254 victories and has won 80 percent of her matches in 10 seasons with the Flyers, was pleased with many things that she saw from her players. Now she hopes to learn more about them when they compete in a tournament in Denver this weekend.

“I liked the way that they played as all six and how they trusted each other,” Smith said. “On defense, that made it very hard for other teams to put a ball down. And we served and passed better than other teams this early in the year.

“Both of our outsides are swinging harder and higher than how our team did last year, so that’s giving us more kills from the front pin. The team

cause we didn’t make that adjustment,” Marshall said. “It’s going to take time and repetition, and we’ll get better.”

North (3-5, 1-1) built momentum into Set 2 behind strong play in the middle from 6-foot-3 freshman Gretchen Ketelhut as the Tigers dissolved a 13-9 deficit to lead 21-20. Libero Casey Slezak aced her serve to put the Tigers ahead by two, and outside hitter Amy Stumpf (10 kills) and middle Madeline Dieter closed out the set with two big points in the 25-23

victory.

“They’re definitely doing the right things, and with them being so young, I’m seeing improvement every game and that’s good,” Marshall said. “(Stumpf) was our libero and is really good defensively. Because of our youth, we needed her to step up and she’s getting better every single match.”

North jumped to a 7-1 lead in Set 3, which promoted Oswego coach Matt Schlecta to call a timeout just three

points into the game. The Panthers recovered and clawed back to create a one-point game behind consecutive ace serves by Ally Manzella, 13-12. Behrends knocked down a pair of kills to push Oswego ahead, 15-14.

Stumpf’s kill gave North a late 23-22 lead, but Manzella and Behrends scored back-to-back points and Marshall called a timeout. Stumpf came through again to tie the score at 24, but two final errors sealed the Tigers’ fate.

puts Aly in the position, but she has to finish and she does. What makes her great is that if the situation isn’t perfect, she still manages to figure out how to get a kill and not a lot of hitters can do that.

“We’ve always been a good family, but with this team, all of their work ethics and morals are all in line so they don’t have to work to accept each other, it’s just natural. We play the No. 1 team in the nation [Concordia St. Paul]. We’ve played some ranked teams but Concordia has the majority of its players back, so they’ll be tougher since they have chemistry.”

Schneider led her team with 45 kills and a .449 hitting percentage while averaging one block a set during the first four matches. While pleased to receive national and conference honors, she was quick to credit her teammates for the award.

“It was nice to see everyone come together and it just showed how hard we’ve all been working in the gym,” Schneider said. “It was nice to see real competition. We’ve been scrimmaging against our own team but it’s way different. This is a big honor for me but it just shows that our passers have been passing well and the setters are setting well.

“This team is really unique since we’re friends on and off the court and I think that showed in our playing since we’re very cohesive and have a lot of chemistry. We’ve been really focused on serving and passing and that showed throughout the weekend.

Now that we’ve seen that we can play with the top teams, it gives us confidence that we can even go further.”

Lewis also got solid play from libero Nicole Yuede, outside hitter Bailey Sparkman, rightside hitter

Maddie Seliga, outside hitter Elizabeth Hyland and setter Abby Becker.

“Starting out as well as we did, we have to now come into practice every day working even harder,” Becker said. “We can’t have days where we aren’t mentally there, we have to make sure that we keep pushing each other hard. We’re strong in all aspects and everyone sees the court differently and everybody shares information so we’re kind of like one big unit.

“It’s nice to see the passion that we have for volleyball is always going to be there. Our serve-receive makes my job a lot easier. We’ve been working so much on ball control and serve-receive that our passers did a fantastic job. We mesh well because we’re all friends. We have a target on our backs but if we keep showing our passion, we’ll be pretty unstoppable.”

JOLIET CENTRAL AT OSWEGO EAST Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet Records: Joliet Central 0-2, Oswego East 2-0 The skinny: Until the second half of last week’s 33-7 loss to Minooka, the Joliet Central defense had been playing well. This week’s Southwest Prairie matchup offers a different sort of challenge as the Steelmen take on Oswego East and Iowa-bound running back Ivory Kelly-Martin, who is in his first season with the Wolves after transferring from Nazareth. Central is searching for some consistency on offense.

The pick: Oswego East

MINOOKA AT PLAINFIELD EAST Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Plainfield East 21, Minooka 16 Records: Minooka 1-1, Plainfield East 2-0 The skinny: Plainfield East has beaten two opponents, Joliet Central and Plainfield Central, expected to finish in the second division of the Southwest Prairie. The Bengals will face a challenge in Minooka, however. The Indians are coming off a strong offensive effort that resulted in a 33-7 victory over Joliet Central.

The pick: Minooka PLAINFIELD SOUTH VS. PLAINFIELD CENTRAL Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday at Joliet Memorial Stadium Last year: Plainfield South 49, Plainfield Central 7 Records: Plainfield South 1-1, Plainfield Central 0-2 The skinny: This is a home game on Plainfield Central’s schedule. South and Central are having artificial turf installed at their stadiums, and the projects are not quite finished. So the game will be at Memorial Stadium. Central, which has lost 30 straight regular-season games and 31 in all, is looking for its first victory under first-year coach Jon Pereiro. South also sports a first-year coach in Bill Bicker.

The pick: Plainfield South

Romeoville also is looking to kick its offense into gear. The Spartans’ defense must deal with North’s standout running back, Tyler Hoosman.

The pick: Plainfield North JOLIET CATHOLIC VS. ST. PATRICK Kickoff: 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Hanson Stadium in Chicago Last year: Did not meet Records: JCA 0-2, St. Patrick 2-0 AP rankings: JCA is honorable mention in Class 5A. The skinny: Hanson Stadium has not necessarily been a favorite venue for opposing teams, and this is the third straight difficult road venture for JCA. The Hilltoppers open East Suburban Catholic play against a foe in St. Patrick that beat St. Rita, 47-44, in Week 1 and Glenbrook South, 21-7, last week, so the Shamrocks appear to be formidable.

Whether JCA is able to control the ball could be a key.

The pick: St. Patrick PROVIDENCE AT ST. RITA Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday Last year: Providence 28, St. Rita 0

Records: Providence 1-1, St. Rita 1-1 AP rankings: Providence is honorable mention in 6A. The skinny: Two longtime Augustinian rivals kick off Catholic Blue play feeling better about themselves than they did after falling in Week 1. Providence won last week, 28-21, at St. John Vianney in Kirkwood, Missouri, as Jared Drake threw three touchdown passes.

St. Rita, meanwhile, clubbed Rich Central, 56-19.

The pick: Providence LOCKPORT AT LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet Records: Lockport 2-0, Lincoln-Way Central 2-0 The skinny: The Southwest Suburban adversaries have not seen much of each other in recent years, the result of playing in opposite divisions in the league. But now the SWSC is one, and the rivalry is renewed.

Both have gotten off to encouraging starts, including winning games late in the fourth quarter against respectable opponents. The question is whether Lockport can slow down Lincoln-Way Central’s running game, led by Nico Muto.

The pick: Lincoln-Way Central HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR AT LINCOLN-WAY EAST Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday Last year: H-F 28, Lincoln-Way East 3 Records: H-F 2-0, Lincoln-Way East 2-0

The skinny: Lincoln-Way West recovered from a 20-3 hole to beat Bloom, 40-27, last week. The Warriors have been potent in the running game. Justin LaBuhn leads the Joliet area with 378 rushing yards, and Ryan Robbins has proven to be a viable second option.

LaBuhn has scored six touchdowns.

The pick: Lincoln-Way West QUINCY NOTRE DAME AT MORRIS Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet Records: Quincy Notre Dame 1-1, Morris 2-0 AP rankings: Quincy Notre Dame is honorable mention in 4A, Morris is No. 9 in 5A. The skinny: Morris last week reinforced the thought that it is difficult to come into the Redskins’ home and win. They knocked off Washington, ranked No. 3 in 5A at the time, 20-3. Quincy Notre Dame lost week to St. Joseph-Ogden, 41-21, and Wilmington drilled St. Joe-Ogden, 48-12, to open the season. Signs point to a 3-0 start for Morris.

The pick: Morris WILMINGTON AT WESTMONT Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Wilmington 46, Westmont 6 Records: Wilmington 2-0, Westmont 1-1 AP rankings: Wilmington is No. 2 in 3A. The skinny: Wilmington coach Jeff Reents is well aware of the danger in facing an Otto Zeman-coached opponent. “He’s five-wide all the time and uses trick formations,” Reents said. “In our state championship year (2014), we were down to Westmont, 7-0, in a matter of 30 seconds after it started.” Still, the Wildcats have looked very good so far and figure to be too much for the Sentinels.

OSWEGO AT JOLIET WEST Kickoff: 1 p.m. Saturday Last year: Did not meet Records: Oswego 2-0, Joliet West 1-1 The skinny: This is one of the interesting Southwest Prairie matchups of the weekend. Joliet West’s defense rose to the occasion last week against Plainfield South, and Oswego’s defense has been superb in victories over Minooka and Plainfield North.

How well the Tigers are able to run the ball, with Ezekiel Tullock the featured back, may be a key.

The pick: Oswego

AP rankings: H-F is No. 4 in 8A, Lincoln-Way East No. 2 in 8A. The skinny: H-F is loaded with talent and has outscored two opponents a combined 110-12. However, the Vikings have not faced anyone near East’s quality, and the Griffins have revenge in mind after the 28-3 result a year ago. East’s passing game has been dynamite. Nick Zelenika and Jeremy Nelson already have combined for 22 receptions for 346 yards and three touchdowns.

Slammers 2 wins from championship series Three games to win two.

That’s the task at hand for the Joliet Slammers as they prepare for their biggest weekend of the season, which begins at 7:05 p.m. Friday at Silver Cross Field.

If manager Jeff Isom’s Slammers can win two games against Evansville, they’ll advance to next week’s Frontier League championship series.

Joliet won Tuesday’s opener behind another strong effort from the league’s top pitcher, Liam O’Sullivan, before dropping Wednesday’s game to settle for a split at Bosse Field.

The Otters, who last advanced to the championship series in 2006 when they captured the title, had the second-best record in the regular season but drew the third seed behind the East Division champion Slammers.

That’s why Joliet gets to host the last three games in the divisional series, if three games are needed. The Slammers could utilize O’Sullivan one more time in this series or to start the next.

For much of the season, Isom’s squad has been adept at winning three-

VIEWS Curt Herron game series, and that’s why they were able to hold a lead through most of the year over their challengers.

Joliet is hopeful it can attract crowds similar to last weekend, when more than 12,000 fans attended the final home series of the regular season. That type of turnout should provide an extra boost for a Slammers team that has played well at Silver Cross Field.

Game 4 on Saturday is at 6:05 p.m. with Sunday’s finale set for 3:15 p.m., if needed.

The story for the Slammers is the same as it’s been for much of the year.

Try to get a good outing from a starter and then hope that one of the league’s top offenses comes through.

With 10 players who have hit .250 or better this season, the Slammers usually are assured of putting some runs on the scoreboard. The key is trying

to prevent opponents from getting into high-scoring affairs with them.

While most expected to see a tight series between Evansville and Joliet, the other divisional series wasn’t supposed to be that close.

Southern Illinois, which finished 30 games over .500 in the regular season, was expected to advance to the championship finals against a River City squad that needed to defeat the Miners on the last day of the regular season to make the playoffs with a 49-47 record.

But somebody forgot to tell that to the Rascals, who used a late 11-game winning streak to get into the playoff picture and then nearly doomed themselves by losing five in a row before winning their regular-season finale.

River City made the most of opening its divisional series in O’Fallon, Missouri, by rallying for four runs in the ninth inning to win the opener and then got a three-hitter in Game 2.

Now the pressure is squarely on the Miners, who need a three-game sweep in Marion to avoid a very disappointing conclusion to their successful sea-

son.

Meanwhile, River City has little pressure on it as it attempts to reach the championship round for the third straight year and the sixth time in the last eight seasons.

While certainly unexpected throughout much of the campaign, a rematch of the 2011 finals, when a firstyear Joliet team beat defending champion River City, is a real possibility.

If Southern Illinois falls to River City, then whoever wins the series between the Slammers and Otters will host the first two games, and maybe the last one, in the championship series.

The best-of-five finals series starts Tuesday and Wednesday, shifts locations next Friday and Saturday, and concludes on Monday, Sept. 19, if necessary.

After experiencing four straight down seasons since winning the championship in 2011, an appearance in the championship series definitely is obtainable for the Slammers.

They just need to win two out of three.

JCA coach Christine Scheibe, seen addressing her team during a match against Hinsdale South earlier this season, remained at 499 career victories Thursday night when the Angels lost a tight, two-set decision at Sandburg.

SANDBURG 2, JOLIET CATHOLIC ACADEMY 0 (25-20, 28-26)

JCA VB falls at Sandburg

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com ORLAND PARK – With its move to Class 4A this season, matches against perennially strong large programs such as Carl Sandburg take on a new meaning for Joliet Catholic Academy’s girls’ volleyball team.

In a meeting of two fairly young squads, the Angels battled with the Eagles throughout most of Thursday’s nonconference match, but a slow start proved costly as Sandburg captured a 25-20, 28-26 victory.

JCA (9-6-1) had gone 6-0-1 in its last seven matches but fell behind 19-12 in the initial set and couldn’t recover before going point-for-point much of the way in the finale.

Angels coach Christine Scheibe was looking for the 500th victory of her 17-year career at the school, but she’ll

have to wait until at least Monday, when JCA returns to action at Providence Catholic, to reach that milestone.

“I was pleased with our passing, but I just felt that we were being too tentative with our offense and that we weren’t going after things as much as we probably should have.” Scheibe said. “So we really need to work on a more aggressive mentality against quality programs like Sandburg.

They’re going to be solid and pick things up on defense, so we need really need to put the pressure on them and we didn’t do that in enough situations.

“I think that we still need a little work on our set choices and who we’re setting in what situations. But that’s all stuff that we can go back to practice and work on so that we keep

Sitton’s arrival makes things easier on Cutler, Bears’ offensive line

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – Jay Cutler already knew this week would involve preparing for a J.J. Watt-led Texans defense. Then the Bears signed Josh Sitton, and moved Cody Whitehair to center, giving the signal-caller yet another new combination up front.

Fortunately for Cutler, the addition of the three-time Pro Bowler at guard hasn’t added anything to the quarterback’s plate.

“You get guys like that and it really makes my job easier,” Cutler said after Thursday’s practice. “I thought I was going to have to coach them through some practices and the language, the verbiage, but first walkthrough, boom, they are all over it. Those kind of guys you love them because they are just plug and play. That speaks a lot about

who they are as people and what this stuff means to them.”

Eddie Royal said that Cutler keeps the offense in rhythm in the huddle with the new players in order to still get the play off on time.

“He’s been great helping anybody in the huddle. Whether we have any type of question, he’s able to fire it off right away and get out of the huddle,” he said.

Royal played with Cutler in Denver and sees a clear difference in how Cutler handles new faces in the huddle.

“He’s a little bit more patient with the guys,” Royal said with a laugh.

“It’s fun to see. It’s good to see.”

Jeremy Langford got plenty of experience with Cutler as a rookie last season, but even more reps throughout the spring and summer as Matt Forte’s replacement in the backfield, so he has seen Cutler’s leadership.

“He coaches the whole offense,”

improving. We need to play as many 4A teams as possible to get used to this level of competition once again. Our girls have been playing well, but they do need to see this competition day in and day out, and hopefully we learn from every experience.”

In the opener, things were tight in the early going before the Eagles got kills from Lauren Mizera and Anna Jonynas and an ace from Maureen Imrie to go up 12-9, and then kills from Abigail Stefanon, Teresa Egan and Madison Hart to grab a 17-11 lead that eventually got as large as seven points. But, the Angels answered with a kill and two block kills from Morgan Leuszler (three block kills) to pull to within 20-17, and finally got as close as 22-20 after a pair of kills from Taylor Zurliene (six kills, two block

kills) off assists by Sarah Nahas (17 assists, nine digs). However, Sandburg closed the initial set with a kill by Egan and an ace from Jonynas.

Things were much tighter throughout the final set after JCA took an early 10-6 lead after kills by Emily Holbrook (seven kills) and Zurliene. Sandburg responded with five straight points to move in front, and neither side led by more than two points after that.

The Eagles went up 23-21 after a kill by Mizera, but the Angels answered with a kill by Holbrook, an ace from Meg Sliwa (12 digs) and a shared block by Emmie Naal and Leuszler to take a 24-23 lead, but the Eagles stayed alive with a kill from Margaret Colby. Holbrook got two more kills to provide one-point leads for JCA, who also got two block kills from Emily Jones. But Erica Staunton and Hart forced ties and then Jonynas and Mizera shared a block before Jonynas ended things with a kill.

‘The End and the Beginning’

Joe Milosevich’s retirement art exhibition connects a lifetime of interests

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

JOLIET – Collected object assemblage. These words describe the artwork that will be displayed Sept. 12 to Oct. 15 at Joliet Junior College’s Laura Sprague Gallery. “The End and the Beginning” is the retirement art exhibition of Joe B. Milosevich, gallery director and JJC studio art professor, who is beginning his 38th year at the college and will retire in May. A reception will be held Sunday for Milosevich in the gallery.

“Most people would call this ‘found object sculpture,’ but I like the term ‘collected’ as opposed to ‘found,’ ” Milosevich said. “I do find things randomly, but it’s a collection at the same time.”

Milosevich said he has collected objects his entire life: rocks, leaves, insects, bird feathers coins, stamps and various models, ranging from knights to monsters. He veers toward the vintage, especially toys, wood (flexible to use), furniture like his grandparents owned and anything with an interesting patina to them, which echoes the type of surfaces he liked creating with paint.

“I think my painting and drawing background made me aware of the beauty of surfaces,” Milosevich said.

Milosevich’s boyhood piano teacher was an ornithologist, which spurred Milosevich’s penchant for sketching birds. In fact, during the 1980s and 1990s, Milosevich said he did some bird surveys for the Will County Forest Preserve District.

His love for art and his respect for his father Sam Milosevich, who taught at Unity High School in Tolono, where Milosevich grew up, inspired Milosevich’s career choice.

Milosevich studied art education at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, and then later earned his master’s in painting and drawing from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

After working as a sabbatical replacement at Kansas State University and then the University of Minnesota, Milosevich accepted a tenured position at JJC in 1979 and remained. Calling himself a teacher first and then an artist, Milosevich dotes on the spontaneity and interaction that is part of an art studio classroom.

He’s scarcely noticed the passing years.

“The students keep me young,” Milosevich said with a smile.

In 2017, Milosevich will retire from Joliet Junior College, where he is director of the school’s Laura Sprague Art Gallery. BELOW RIGHT: “Reach” by Joe B. Milosevich is part of “The End and the Beginning.”

What Milosevich has noticed is the interconnection of his interests in his artwork, which now makes sense to him. The 63-year-old Crest Hill man has no firm plans for retirement except travel and creating artwork.

It’s his artwork, the best pieces of his professional career, Milosevich said, that’s he’s pleased to share with the Joliet-area community. Although the objects he used are familiar and accessible to most people, Milosevich

feels the way he chooses to use them may confound some viewers.

And that’s OK, he said.

Even Milosevich doesn’t always fully understand his work.

“I think that’s what keeps it alive, the fact a little mystery remains,” Milosevich said.

If you go What: Joe B. Milosevich artist reception When: 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday Where: Joliet Junior College, Laura Sprague Gallery, 1215 Houbolt Road, Joliet ETC: Exhibit runs Sept. 12 through Oct. 15.

Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some of the pieces were done in collaboration with other JJC artists, including Ashley N. Dedin (former JJC art student), Rodrigo Montoya (current JJC art student), Pedro J. Palacios (current JJC art student), and James R. White (former JJC art faculty) Contact: For information, call Milosevich at 815-280-2423.

Rock musical combines love and racing in a 1965 setting Know more about Christopher Selefski

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

PLAINFIELD – Simply knowing Plainfield actor Christopher Selefski plays a character named Horndog implies “Hellraisers from Daytona” isn’t musical isn’t for kids.

But the musical, which opens Sept.

12 at the Royal George Theatre in Chicago, promises a fun viewing.

“It’s one of those shows that keeps going. It never slows down.” Selefski said. “It’s high energy and it has its raunchy moments. It’s not for children, that’s for sure.”

According to a news release from its production company, this “spoof of 1960s Elvis-style rock movies” tells the story of drivers competing for the top slot in the 1965 Daytona Speedway Jackpot 500 in a way that’s “fast, furious and funny.”

Amid the competition, Lucky Stubbs (James Nedrud) tries to woo his crush Pepper Johnson (Samantha Pauly) away from rival driver Count Porcini Portobello (David Sajewich) described in the release as, a “dangerously enticing European hotshot.”

The 26-year-old Selefski plays Horn-

“He’s very cocky about his ability to get girls, even though he can’t get girls,” Selefski said. “But he still feels very masculine and macho about how he can get any girl he wants without trying.”

The role has nothing in common with Selefski’s personality, but Selefski said he studied other actors who played similar roles. His goal was to portray Horndog in a comedic way without appearing sleazy.

But the instant camaraderie among

Trio of USF alumni produce, direct, compose nature documentary

Influences: “Tom Hanks because he delves into the roles. Sean Penn because I love how he develops his characters. Johnny Depp because he lives the role and becomes the other person.”

Goal: “I just love to act and I hope to do it all the time. I love creating characters. I’ll go wherever life takes me, whether that’s Los Angeles, New York or staying here.”

Words of wisdom: “It’s never easy. Jobs can come and jobs can go. If you truly love acting, just keep pursuing it. You never know what’s going to take off.” the other actors in the pit – and the ability to share ideas and techniques – eased the challenge.

“We became very friendly, buddy-buddy,” Selefski said. “We clicked right away.”

Selefski said he did some acting while attending Plainfield South High School, but it wasn’t until he took theater classes at Lewis University in Romeoville that he realized he had found his calling.

If you go What: “Helldrivers of Daytona” When: Sept. 12 through Oct. 30. Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 3 p.m.

Where: The Royal George Theatre, 1641 N. Halsted St., Chicago Tickets: Prices range from $55 to $65.

Group discounts available. Purchase at the box office or at www.ticketmaster.com.

Group ticket discounts are at grouptheatertix.com, 312-423-6612 or 866-809-3075.

ETC: Music by Berton Averre (The Knack), lyrics by Rob Meurer (Platinum Records with Christopher Cross), and book by Mark Saltzman (“The Tin Pan Alley Rag” and “The Adventures of Milo and Otis.”)

He wound up majoring in theater.

In the past, Selefski worked as a restaurant server by day and performed in shows at night. But that changed with the long hours “Hellraisers from Daytona” required.

“Since booking this role, this has become my full-time job,” Selefski said.

AICS Dance Troupe performs at Festa Italiana

SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – Three University of St. Francis (USF) alumni teamed up to film, produce and compose music for the nature documentary, “Making Waves: Battle for the Great Lakes,” a two-hour film that sheds light on the invasive species issues facing the Great Lakes.

Brendan and Jessica (Saraga) Walsh, both 2005 graduates from the communication and media arts program at USF, own Great Lakes Media (GLM), the production company responsible for filming and editing the documentary.

Brendan serves as the director of photography and has filmed independently for shows on PBS, National Geographic and Discovery Channel to name a few.

Jessica, co-owner of GLM, is an award-winning print journalist and editor, and is responsible for coordinating and delivering a wide range of productions for Great Lakes Media. The couple’s love for the native ecosystem and outdoors were a driving factor in their interest in the subject matter.

The two-hour documentary will take viewers below the surface of the Great Lakes ecosystem and into a complex battle for survival. For over a century, non-native species of plants, fish, invertebrates and diseases have been silently

Narrated by legendary CBS anchorman and Emmy-nominated documentarian Bill Kurtis, the two-hour documentary will premiere on PBS station WTTW 11 in two parts, at 5 p.m. Sept. 11 and Sept. 18.

The Walshes had support from another USF alum, Gabe Jaskowiak from the Class of 2016. Jaskowiak is a graduate from the university’s digital audio recording arts (DARA) program.

Smartphone dependence affects health

people they never may meet in person, and to communicate frequently with true friends. But to the extent smartphone time with friends starts to substitute for face-toface time, it likely threatens the quality of those friendships.

There’s also a concern constant smartphone use adversely may affect a teen’s ability to learn. The most obvious basis for concern is simply from the distraction posed by smartphones. It’s hard to lay down new memories and learn new material when you are distracted.

A theoretical concern is constant multitasking by teens (whose brains still are not fully formed) adversely may affect their ability to focus and think deeply in the future. That is, some experts fear constant multitasking, particularly in the developing brain, may “re-wire” the brain in unhealthy ways.

Smartphones used under the covers after teens go to bed can cause inadequate sleep time and quality. This, in turn, can have an adverse impact on both mental and physical health.

And obviously, obsessively checking the smartphone at times when full attention must be directed elsewhere – while driving or crossing the street, for example – is a great threat to health.

The bottom line is these devices need to be used thoughtfully. Talk about this issue as a family and make some ground rules.

Dear Dr. K: My teenage daughter jokingly said she’s “addicted” to her smartphone.

I didn’t find her remark funny because there’s too much truth to what she said. Do I have a valid cause for concern?

Dear Reader: Real addiction – such as to narcotics – causes changes in brain chemistry. I’m not aware such changes have been shown for smartphones. But regular users of smartphones (of any age) surely can become very dependent on their phones – and very anxious when they are not able to use their phones for even a few hours.

Since your question is about your teenager, I turned to my colleague Dr. Claire McCarthy, assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. We discussed a report recently released by Common Sense Media, based on a survey it did on 620 parent-child pairs. The organization reported: • 50 percent of teens feel they are addicted to their mobile devices; • 59 percent of parents think their teens are addicted to their mobile devices; • 66 percent of parents feel their teens spend too much time on their mobile devices – and 52 percent of the teens agree with them.

This is pretty powerful. Parents and teens agree their devices have a hold on them. That doesn’t mean constantly checking Instagram is the same as having a drug addiction. But there is real cause for concern.

Why? Because smartphones compete for our time and attention and constantly distract us. We have only so much time, and can be only partly attentive when we are multitasking. When you pay less attention, there can be consequences.

For teens, these consequences may affect social relationships. It’s hard to build or maintain them, and to hone social skills, when you are on your phone. It’s true smartphones allow teens to “meet” many

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY We used to live in a neighborJeanne hood where Phillips my 13-year-old daughter’s best friend, “Mandy,” still lives. Since we moved, Mandy has been to our new home (5 miles away) a dozen times.

The last several times we have invited her to come over, she has been unable to, which I completely understand. People are busy. But recently, I have received no response at all from her mother.

My daughter is heartbroken, but I feel I have done all I can do to offer a chance for them to get together. I have emailed, texted, Facebooked and called and left a message. I emailed the mother asking if I had offended her, or if her daughter no longer wanted to be friends anymore. Mandy’s mom indicated there was no offense; they just have been super-busy.

Clearly, I can’t force the woman to be more responsive, but how should I handle this? And what should I tell my daughter, who misses her friend so much? – Not That Far Away Dear Not That Far: Not knowing Mandy’s mother, I can’t render an opinion about whether she’s leveling with you about her schedule.

She may be super-busy, experiencing family or health problems or simply not want to drive her daughter 10 miles for a play date. As I see it, you have no choice other than to let her know Mandy is always welcome.

Tell your daughter what her mother told you – she’s extremely busy, and you are sorry it has limited the time she gets to spend with her friend. At the same time, make a point of getting your daughter involved in new activities, so she can meet other girls and develop new interests.

P.S. Have you offered to take your daughter to Mandy’s house so her mother won’t have to do all the driving?

Dear Abby: My husband of seven years has always placed Wife No. 1 (I’m his second) on a pedestal. He often calls her to drive him to doctors’ appointments, take care of his finances – he even puts some of our bills in her name.

He also talks to her about our marital problems and what we do in the bedroom.

I’m the mother of his children, and I have always stood by him. I even made an extra effort to befriend the ex, only to find out she used it to her advantage to get more buried into our personal lives.

I’m ready to call it quits, but I’m concerned the two of them will make me out to be a selfish monster for wanting to come first or for leaving.

Please help me. – Fed Up In Texas Dear Fed Up: Draw the line and offer your husband the option of seeing a licensed marriage counselor. If he refuses, get some counseling without him. While you are there, discuss whether being unable to tolerate this “marriage of three” means you are “selfish.” Frankly, I don’t understand how you have tolerated it this long.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Problems at home, as well as legal and financial matters, should be dealt with quickly. Use your skills to bring about positive change. Don’t fold under pressure or give in to unwarranted demands.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Your ability to take a practical application and apply it to an iffy situation will help you get ahead and overcome

any obstacles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Look at the big picture and make alterations based on what you see. If it’s time to make changes, do so. Procrastination will be your downfall.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Put your best foot forward and let everyone know that you are willing to see matters through to the end.

Listen to others, ask questions and consider your options.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Stick close to home and take care of matters that will improve your lifestyle. You will learn a valuable lesson from a relationship that makes a sudden shift.

problems. Protect your money, information and reputation.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Rigidity will be your downfall. Stay focused on what you can do, not on impossible dreams. Bring about positive changes to your domestic and personal lives by offering what you can and cleaning up any past messes that have been restricting your ability to advance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – A move will do you good. Refuse to let your emotions surface and stop you from adapting to new possibilities.

Looking forward instead of back will make a difference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Speak up and promote what you have accomplished. Travel,

communication and progressive education will pay off. Romance will improve your life. Don’t be afraid to show emotion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – If you are straightforward, you will convince others to see things your way. Don’t be afraid to take a leadership position or offer unique solutions. Be your own master.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You’ll be taking on more than you can handle if you get into a debate with someone. You must accept everyone is entitled to an opinion and move on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You are the one in charge of your progress. Do things for yourself to avoid being disappointed by what others try to do for you. Only you know how you feel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – How you present yourself will be important. Discipline and hard work will pay off and lead to a change in the way you feel and how you are treated.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Use your imagination when you want to get things done. People observing your actions will marvel at your intelligence and foresight. Apply for something that excites you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let an emotional situation stand in the way of getting things done. Being intent on finishing what you start will increase your reputation of honesty and integrity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Set the record straight. Share your thoughts, feelings and

plans. A trip or networking function will give you a platform to show your true potential.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You’ll be torn between what you want to do and what you should be doing. If you are organized, you will be able to fit both into your schedule. Romance will help you rejuvenate.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Problems will escalate if you indulge or let your moodiness take control. You are best off working on a creative project independently to avoid a conflict.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A last-minute trip or a decision to engage in a challenge or bring about a change that will make a difference to you and your loved ones looks promising. Romance is highlighted.

Samuel Goldwyn said, “I’ll take 50 percent efficiency to get 100 percent loyalty.”

A finesse has 50 percent efficiency, at least in theory, but it is always better to have a 100 percent line available. Today’s contract is not that good. Did declarer have to rely on a finesse?

South pushed himself into seven spades. After West led the heart queen, what did declarer do?

I agree with North’s three-club response, which immediately hinted at a slam. When North raised to four spades, South might have started to control-bid, but opted for two doses of Blackwood. His last bid was a gamble because if North had the club ace and king, South could have had an unavoidable diamond loser. Still, he anticipated that the grand slam would be at worst on a finesse, which made it a reasonable bet.

Declarer realized that he would make the contract if either the clubs broke 4-4 or the diamond finesse worked. So, after trick one, South carefully overtook his spade seven with dummy’s eight, ruffed a low club with his spade jack, led the spade nine to dummy’s 10, ruffed another club high, played the carefully conserved spade two to dummy’s three, and pitched his low diamonds on the club ace-king.

When the clubs proved to be 4-4, declarer discarded his diamond queen on the club six and claimed.

But if the clubs had been 5-3, the diamond finesse was still available. The chance of success was an acceptable 66.35 percent.
