I found my Friday full of hope.

It’s pretty easy when you find yourself surrounding by inspiring people.

We held our breakfast celebration for the 2016 Everyday Hero recipients Friday morning at the Joliet County Club.

The project is my absolute favorite thing we do here at The Herald-News all year.

You can probably recite with me now what an Everyday Hero is, seeing as I’ve written about multiple times.

Everyday Heroes is an initiative of Shaw Media that honors those who selflessly donate their time and talents to help those in need or to improve their community.

This is the second year we’ve done it for Will and Grundy counties, and the more than 50 nominations we received showed just how special of a place we live. Narrowing them down was tough –

VIEWS Kate Schott

each one was more than deserving – but we whittled the list down to 16.

Fourteen of the 16 heroes were able to join us for the meal, as were dozens of their family members and friends. It was a festive atmosphere.

What I love about Everyday Heroes is that the recipients are people who might not be recognized otherwise. They truly are good souls, people who do right because they should. They improve their schools and communities, make life brighter for strangers, because they can.

They use their gifts to benefit others, not to get recognition.

It’s my joy that we can give them that for a morning.

I hope you take time to read the special section inserted in today’s edition, where you can read about each recipient.

Editing it brought me hope; attending the breakfast and meeting these people brought me happiness, knowing that despite all the negative that abounds in the world, we are surrounded by people who fly in the face of that by being positive.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

JJC 9/11 ceremony to honor those lost in terror attacks

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – To students attending Joliet Junior College now, the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, might seem like distant history.

But JJC Police Chief Pete Comanda, who led the college’s annual tribute to those who lost their lives 15 years ago, quoted philosopher George Santayana who said those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

That, Comanda said, is why JJC holds a ceremony every year. To remember.

In the context of more recent terrorist attacks – such as those in San Bernardino, California; Orlando, Florida; Paris; Brussels – and school shootings at Northern Illinois University and Virginia Tech, the loss of life added up to fewer than 300, he said.

“On Sept. 11, 10 times that many people were killed and the event brought this nation to a virtual standstill for a week,” Comanda said.

The annual ceremony was held Friday at the JJC Main Campus Alumni bell tower and flagpole. Invited to present at the ceremony were the Joliet Police Department Honor Guard, Will County Sheriff’s Rifle Squad, Joliet Fire Depart-

First responders detail changes in the 15 years since 9/11

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com

and MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – If the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks had never happened, it’s likely law enforcement would still have seen changes during the last 15 years.

“But the level of communication and cooperation between agencies, that’s the biggest effect [of 9/11],” Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said. “Not just terrorism-related information, but public safety-related information.”

Fifteen years ago, four passenger airliners were hijacked by members of al-Qaida, with three of them reaching their intended targets: the North and South towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Virginia. A fourth plane crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after passengers tried to subdue the hijackers.

The attacks left nearly 3,000 people dead, and forever changed the way the country operates – especially in the way emergencies are dealt with, and in how officials work to prevent potential terrorist attacks.

Benton said the 9/11 attacks led to the creation of “fusion centers” used by many police agencies. Illinois State Police operate the Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center to coordinate information between investigators and emergency responders in Illinois and work with federal authorities. Besides potential terrorism, the STIC also tracks narcotics activity, violent crimes, internet crimes, motor vehicle thefts, and missing children.

Benton also feels 9/11, as well as school and workplace violence, led people to understand officers’ needs to carry patrol rifles in their cars.

“I think the public viewed rifles as a military item, but they have come to accept officers need better protection and firepower for what they could potentially encounter,” Benton said.

Federal Homeland Security grants have provided vehicles, equipment and training and the cameras police use to monitor the Des Plaines River, City Center and Chicagoland Speedway.

“They were put in for security, but they’ve helped with other public safety incidents,” Benton said, noting potential river jumpers have been stopped and detectives were led to a murder suspect by using the cameras.

Information sharing

The sharing of information also has improved during the past 15 years. Benton said police, for example, regularly share information with the FBI and customs in preparation for next weekend’s nationally televised NASCAR events.

The Dresden Nuclear Power Plan is also scrutinized extensively by federal and local authorities as a potential terrorist target, Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said.

“We get calls when someone sees strangers taking pictures of the nuclear plant or one of the chemical companies.

It’s usually nothing, and it’s unfortunate [people are bothered], but we can’t take it for granted,” Callahan said.

Callahan agreed with Benton that information sharing is the biggest change in a post-9/11 world.

At the same time, a call about a stranger by the plant would bring a much more serious police response than 15 years ago.

While terrorism may seem a remote concern locally, the Illinois Army

Life-size Lincoln statue unveiled Saturday at Lincoln Cemetery

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – Lola Mitchell has been to the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery for several funerals and Memorial Day services.

On Saturday, she and a couple hundred others assembled for something different – the Abraham Lincoln Statue Dedication Ceremony. Mitchell, a Joliet resident, said she attended because she appreciates what the 16th president of the United States did for the country.

“I think we should remember him and what he stood for,” Mitchell said.

“Especially when he said, ‘With malice toward none, with charity for all’.”

Lincoln founded the national cemetery system via an Act of Congress on July 17, 1862, and on Saturday he became the first U.S. president to be honored with a statue in a national cemetery.

More than 50 people or organizations contributed a sum of about $150,000 for the statue, according to the event program.

The 6-foot-4 bronze statue of Lincoln stands on concrete with a cut limestone bench behind it. Both ends of the bench will feature a bronze tablet. One tells the story of Lincoln founding the national cemeteries and the other includes the final paragraph of Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, his last major speech given five weeks before his assassination.

As for the ceremony, Dennis Mitzner, chaplain of the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery Memorial Squad, told the crowd during his invocation he cannot think of a better person to watch over the nearly 1,000-acre cemetery that will one day be the resting place for 400,000 veterans when all space at the site is used.

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, addressed the audience and said the life-size statue of Lincoln reminds us all that Lincoln was just a man, like anyone else, who was capable of great

Ohman described Lincoln’s rise, from being the son of illiterate parents to using his own powerful speeches as a key to winning the presidency and authoring the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

“The man we honor today is possibly the best president the United States have ever seen,” Ohman said.

“He most assuredly is in the top 5.”

Jim McFarland resigning from Joliet City Council

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Councilman Jim McFarland, who was charged recently with a DUI and is facing potential reprimand for last year’s envelope controversy, notified the city Friday that he will resign at the end of this month.

McFarland’s at-large council position is up for election in April. He sent the city manager a letter Friday afternoon, saying his resignation is effective at midnight Sept. 30. Jim He said he is resigning McFarland “due to my family’s relocation to a different community.”

McFarland did not say in the letter where he is going. He did not return calls for comment. He did respond to an email saying only, “I’m moving to Rockdale,” and later added in a text message that his business was staying on Essington Road in Joliet.

Speculation has spread about McFarland’s plans since his home was put up for sale this summer. There were rumors that he was moving to Frankfort,

another Joliet neighborhood, and other nearby towns.

McFarland resignation rumors have come and gone at times for nearly a year.

“This did not come out of left field,” Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said.

O’Dekirk said he last talked with McFarland about a possible resignation about a month ago as the council was reviewing potential actions concerning the envelope matter. But he also had been told that McFarland would resign after the city referred the matter to the Will County State’s Attorney for investigation last November.

The sale of McFarland’s house generated another wave of speculation, although there were also rumors that he was moving to another neighborhood in Joliet.

“I’ve heard six different stories the last few weeks,” O’Dekirk said.

McFarland is scheduled to be in court Sept. 30 for a hearing on the DUI charge. McFarland also faces a charge of speeding after he was stopped by a state trooper on July 10;

“No one has come forward to show us they have the funds to rehabilitate the property and to show us they have the scope of work to redevelop the property within a certain time frame,” Melesio said.

Wesley objected to the characteriza-

“We have not had time to formulate a plan, but we have funds to redevelop the property,” Wesley said. Her husband John has 20 years of experience in remodeling and construction, she said.

JOLIET – The historic Dougall house is going to a public auction on Monday after all.

The city of Joliet announced Friday afternoon that the house will be on the list of properties for sale at the Will County Trustee Public Auction of Surplus Property scheduled for 6 p.m.

Monday at St. George Social Center, 310 Stryker Ave. The decision comes after the City Council on Tuesday gave the OK for staff to take the house out of the auction and negotiate a sale with a private buyer.

Until last week, the only private buyer who had stepped up was Barb Newberg, a city planner who first alerted the Joliet Historic Preservation Commission of the house’s historic value. Newberg for weeks has expressed an interest in the house, and she told the commission last month that she was negotiating with the city to buy it.

But Raychel Wesley of Joliet appeared before the council before the vote and said she and her husband, John, wanted to buy the property.

“We’ll be at the auction,” Wesley

said Friday.

Wesley said she had her first meeting with city officials about the house Friday morning and was given a tour of the house for the first time at 2 p.m., which was less than two hours before the city issued a news release saying the house would go to auction.

“I think this is an opportunity to make sure we leave no stone unturned,” said Alfredo Melesio, the city’s director of neighborhood services.

Melesio said the trustee running the auction will give notice that the buyer of the house at 209 Union St. must negotiate a memorandum of understanding with the city that shows they have the financial resources and a plan to complete rehabilitation of the property.

Joliet had wanted to demolish the dilapidated house. But the Historic Preservation Commission objected to demolition because the 19th-century house is in a landmark district and is the former home of Dr. William Dougall, an historic figure for a number of reasons, including his command of an African-American regiment in the Civil War. The city, however, still plans to demolish the house if it continues to be

JOLIET – A morning lane closure on Interstate 80 could be repeated in the coming weekends, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

The right lane of eastbound I-80 between Houbolt Road and Larkin Avenue was closed between midnight and 10 a.m. Saturday for routine repairs of the bridge over the Canadian National railroad tracks, IDOT said.

Overnight lane closures could be repeated on future weekends to complete the repairs, IDOT said in a news release on Friday.

Wilmington gets grant to fight substance abuse

WASHINGTON – The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, in partnership with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, has awarded community coalitions in Illinois – including one in Wilmington

– grants totaling $3.2 million to prevent youth substance abuse.

This funding, provided through ONDCP’s Drug-Free Communities Support Program, was part of $85.9 million awarded nationwide, according to a news release from U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. The Wilmington Coalition for a Healthy Community will receive, like the other recipients, a grant of $125,000.

“By working alongside local coalitions, we can better address the root causes and unique dynamics of substance abuse in each community and prevent kids from becoming addicted in the first place. I will continue to work to make sure our state has access to the federal resources we need to keep dangerous drugs out of the hands of young Illinoisans,” Durbin said in the news release. “While prevention is a crucial element of our response to the ongoing opioid epidemic, I will also work to increase funding for addiction treatment.”

Grundy County budget cuts could reduce services Leaders looking to close $1.7 million shortfall

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – It has become evident as the Grundy County board works through its budget workshops that cuts are likely to deal with a more than $1 million shortfall.

“The root cause is the loss in revenue from sales tax,” County Board Chairman Chris Balkema said. “There is a wide consensus in the county board that we don’t want to go into debt.”

There is a $1.7 million shortfall in expenditures versus revenues, according to County Administrator Doug Pryor.

“The impact began to hit the county in fiscal year 2015,” Pryor said. “The county can’t continue to spend at the requested levels.”

The root of the issue comes from the loss of supplemental sales tax after the Regional Transportation Authority

sued Morris and Channahon, as well as other municipalities, for using taxing strategies enticing companies to open small purchasing offices in Grundy County to take advantage of low sales tax rates, also known as point of sale. While legal at the time, that practice is no longer allowed.

Grundy County Sheriff’s Department

Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said proposed cuts to his department would require laying off staff – including patrol staff – which he feels could jeopardize the safety of residents and remaining deputies.

At the initial July budget workshop he attended, Callahan was told that instead of the $5.4 million he requested, he would have a budget of about $4.4 million. He said that would result in decreased staffing levels, which would cause loss in revenue and increased response times.

“One county board member told me that my impact statement was nothing but a scare tactic,” the sheriff said.

“My response is, it is the reality.”

Ceremony to honor Civil War veterans buried at cemetery

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – Civil War veterans have resting sites all over the country, but many are unmarked or poorly marked.

At 1 p.m. Saturday, the Philip H. Sheridan Camp of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, in conjunction with the Maple Hill Cemetery Association, will conduct a dedication ceremony for seven new headstones on the previously unmarked or poorly marked graves of Civil War veterans buried in the historic Maple Hill Cemetery, 21301 W. Mississippi Ave. in Elwood.

The project took about 10 months, SUVCW member David Bailey said. Members started by collecting information to identify Civil War veterans in various cemeteries. They have to verify with the VA that the individual served in the Civil War and is buried in the cemetery.

The headstones weigh more than 200 pounds and are shipped from the VA. Members place gravel and sand in the selected spot, then backfill it with dirt to make sure the headstone stands upright.

There are 24 Civil War veterans buried in Maple Hill Cemetery. Members revitalized poorly marked gravesites and cleaned them using a biocidal soap to remove algae and other bacteria that discolors the headstone.

It’s the 16th cemetery the group has performed Civil War headstone projects at throughout the south and west suburbs of Chicago. In Will County, they did projects in Bolingbrook and Plainfield.

Bailey said he was always interested in U.S. history as a child. He had two aunts who taught history and took him to Civil War battlefields. He learned he had a couple of ancestors who served in the Civil War, and got involved in the organization in the early 1980s.

“I found that a lot of guys were buried in unmarked graves,” Bailey said. “It struck me as odd and kind of sad. So I devoted time to help rectify it.”

State superintendent tours Joliet Central High School

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Tony Smith, the state superintendent of education, paid a visit Friday to Joliet Central High School Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy, along with several other administrators and board members, took Smith on a tour of the historic building, its new addition and the programs offered to students at Joliet Township High School District 204.

McCarthy said she extended an invitation to Smith to come by and see what District 204 offered.

“We were really excited because you can only explain so much in an email,” she said.

The Illinois State Board of Education named Smith as the 28th state superintendent of education in April 2015.

Smith is a former executive director of Chicago-based W. Clement & Jessie V. Stone Foundation and superintendent of Oakland Unified School District in California.

Smith’s first stop was Central’s Student Center, which opened in January. The cafeteria was packed with students and Smith could see its design and murals that illustrate stu-

dents and the academy structure of the district.

District officials next led Smith through the older section of the historic building, passing by a statue of Abraham Lincoln and more murals that Smith took stock of.

“We take for granted sometimes all this stuff because we walk by it every day,” Central Principal Shad Hallihan said.

Smith was shown the auditorium of the building, where district offi-

cials discussed their strategic planning and how it is a continual effort for them that includes periodic updates.

“It’s helped us keep us on track and help us with the budget,” McCarthy said.

Next, Smith was shown the culinary class taught by Rochelle Bjelland. Some of the students in the class talked to him about the Cooking for a Cause challenge they participate in with Chicagoland Speed-

“This has happens to be a sweet spot for me,” Smith said, after noting that his daughter, Addison Osta Smith, was the winner of MasterChef Junior last season.

After being shown a computer classroom that had a 3-D printer, Smith’s tour group next bumped into teacher Dale West, who spoke with them about some of the work he was doing, including students’ effort to craft a prosthetic hand for children in need.

The Mentor2.0 program was next for Smith, who met students who are being mentored by volunteers in the community through a partnership between the district and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties. One student said to Smith she initially wanted to opt out of it until she met her mentor and discovered they had a lot in common.

“We just connected so much that it was like immediately she was always my support system,” the student said.

For the last part of Smith’s tour, he was given a presentation on the district’s credit recovery program and the blended learning classes.

Fiestas Patrias Mexican Independence Parade held in Joliet

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – At the age of 10, Maria Eranados of Joliet left her country of Mexico for a better life in the United States.

Each year, she celebrates her native country to preserve her family culture.

“We like to see our Mexican people and customs. We are no longer in Mexico, but we keep up the tradition of celebrating our independence day,” Eranados said.

More than 5,000 spectators lined Collins Street in downtown Joliet early Saturday afternoon for the 54th annual Fiestas Patrias Mexican Independence Parade to celebrate the beginning of Mexico’s independence from Spain on Sept. 16, 1810.

The parade was coordinated by the Ladies of Guadalupe and the Joliet Latin American Social Club. Event coordinator Marge Franchini said she saw more than 70 entries, some with multiple floats in the parade.

The crisp autumn air presented a backdrop for the parade. Traditional Mexican music played as the parade rolled down the street and flags of Mexico, as well as red, green and white banners, blew in the breeze.

The parade began with the Ameri-

Among the floats were performers who spun in traditional dances, Aztec dances and a Chinelos – a traditional carnival-costumed dancer.

Seven ballet folklorico dancers from Our Lady of Mount Caramel wowed the crowd as they twirled and glided to music from the northern region of Mexico.

Araceli Chavez of Kargas Real Estate provided the dance entertainment because, “this is what today is all about – traditions,” she said.

Aztec dancers from the Spanish Community Center in Joliet circled each other as drums beat and incense wafted through their makeshift stage.

Franchini said this parade was unique to Joliet because of the strong heritage and culture it represented, and has been an asset to the community.

“We want to educate our kids about their history and heritage, so we feel it’s important to bring this all out once per year,” Franchini said.

JOLIET – Starting Sept. 20, petitions for candidacy for three full-term (four years) At-Large City Council positions will be available in the City Clerk’s Office, which is housed in the Joliet Municipal Building, 150 W. Jefferson St. in Joliet.

To qualify as a candidate, applicants must be a qualified elector of the city of Joliet and have resided within the corporate limits of the city for at least one year preceding the April 4, 2017, Consolidated Election, according to a news release from the city.

Other qualifications are set by state law in order to be eligible to submit a petition for candidacy and to serve as an elected official of the city of Joliet.

Candidates should review Illinois law and other related codes to determine whether they meet the required qualifications, the news release states.

“Compliance with the applicable law in having the petitions for candidacy signed and submitting them along with other required documents is the sole responsibility of the candidate and not the city of Joliet or any of its employees,” the news release states. “Neither the city clerk nor any other city employee will be responsible for reviewing petitions that are filed during the filing period to determine whether they are in compliance with the law.”

Candidacy petitions must be filed with the Joliet City Clerk’s Office from Dec. 12 to 19 during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Joliet City Clerk’s Office will remain open until 5 p.m. Dec. 19 to accept petitions for candidacy, according to the news release.

Continued from page 3 National Guard Armory in Joliet was targeted last year – but the would-be assailants were caught due to undercover work done by FBI agents.

Hasan Edmonds and his cousin Jonas Edmonds, both of Aurora, have pleaded guilty to planning an attack at the facility where Hasan Edmonds was assigned. According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Barry Jonas, Hasan Edmonds planned to fly to the Middle East and fight for a terrorist organization while his cousin would come into the base during a drill and target the company commanders.

Hasan Edmonds told a psychologist he did not know about the planned Joliet attack until the day he and his cousin discussed it with an undercover agent and he “thought other sites presented better targets,” Jonas wrote in a federal sentencing memorandum.

“The evidence shows otherwise ...

[After the planning meeting] after [Hasan Edmonds] had a full night to reflect on the plan he actively helped craft – all three individuals traveled to the Joliet base to conduct surveillance,” Jonas wrote.

Hasan Edmonds could be sentenced next week up to 30 years in federal prison. Jonas Edmonds is also awaiting sentencing.

Never-ending planning

From the Will County Emergency Management Agency’s perspective, there have been two major changes since 9/11.

First, the EMA works with more agencies and entities than ever before, said Will County EMA Director Harold Damron, in an effort to keep everyone on the same page in preparing for terrorist acts and other emergencies.

Second – echoing Benton’s and Callahan’s thoughts – Damron said the

He said 2,977 men, women and children from 115 countries lost their lives, many of them who were “going about their normal daily routine,” in the attacks. But included in that tragic number were more than 400 first responders: firefighters, paramedics and police officers who ran toward the disaster to help.

gency managers and others can all use.

Damron said it can be a difficult transition, but he commended fire departments for always being ahead of the curve in incident command communication. Measures enacted by the federal government have brought them together on one operating team, Damron said.

“It’s been beneficial for us all,” Damron said.

With the increased focus on potential terrorist threats, one may think practice time for other emergency scenarios would be sacrificed. But that’s not the case, Damron said.

“We can’t just say that because we have terrorism now, that we can’t prepare for a chemical leak or a tornado,” Damron said. “Our challenge is to balance needs and priorities. But a lot of preparation is universal across the different hazard types.”

Damron noted that the Will County Health Department prepares for bioterrorism threats similar to the anthrax sent in the mail after 9/11.

The trend of mass shootings in recent years has become part of an overall set of threats EMA prepares for, along with state and federal partners, such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

While other agencies work to prevent these incidents from happening, EMAs throughout the country are tasked with responding if they do occur.

Will County EMA does various planning exercises in which managers consider how they would respond to these shootings and other situations, Damron said.

Plainfield students dissect electronic devices

Students tally up what simple machines they find

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Jameson Wiers doesn’t know what he might find inside of a DVD player.

But Wiers and other fourth-grade students at Freedom Elementary School in Plainfield were at work Friday taking apart electronic equipment to see the simple machines inside of them. When Wiers and other students opened up a DVD player, he said he found a few levers, wheels and axles.

“It’s fun opening the stuff and seeing what’s inside,” he said.

Alli Friedland, fourth-grade teacher at Freedom, said it’s an activity students do every year to study simple machines.

Parents donate complex machines to the classes and they bring in screwdrivers, come in and help the students take them apart. Some of the machines donated include old DVD and VCR players, cellphones and printers, among other devices. When opening up the de-

Once they’re done, they usually recycle them.

Friedland said the goal for the students is to count to see how many simple machines they find. There were six for them to locate: a lever, pulley, wheel and axle, wedge, incline plane and screw, then tally it all up.

She said before the students start, they have to write a hypothesis: which simple machine they thought they would find the most of. Once they’re done, they see whether the hypothesis was correct.

“We do this to bring in some more opportunity and real-world experiences for what they’re learning about,” Friedland said.

CHICAGO – ComEd and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus have awarded $170,000 in grants to fund projects in 24 municipalities – including three local communities – to improve local public safety through ComEd’s Powering Safe Communities program.

In the program’s second year, ComEd has both increased funding and the number of projects it is able to support through Powering Safe Communities, according to a news release.

These grants provide resources to help municipalities improve efficiency and the delivery of public safety programs, increase community resiliency, roll out public safety education programs, and address unmet safety needs. Grants of up to $10,000 were offered to support innovative, impactful and essential public safety projects.

The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, a regional council of governments that fosters collaboration to improve the quality of life for communities in the region, will administer the Powering Safe Communities grants.

“Public safety is a paramount concern for municipal government,”

Jim Holland, Mayors Caucus Executive Board chairman and mayor of Frankfort, said in the news release. “... ComEd’s generous partnership allows two-dozen communities to both address unmet needs and innovate to improve public safety for more than 700,000 residents served by these local governments.”

MOKENA – A 21-year-old Mokena man is in custody after authorities say he was involved in two hit-and-run crashes early Friday.

A 20-year-old male pedestrian was hit about 3:30 a.m. Friday by the driver of a white SUV in the 11200 block of 193rd Street, a few blocks north Cody D. Fenn of downtown Mokena.

The driver, identified Friday afternoon as Cody D. Fenn, 21, of the 11300 block of 193rd Street, fled the scene, according to a news release from Mokena Chief of Police Steve Vaccaro. Fenn was located by the Joliet Police Department after allegedly being involved in another hit-and-run on Interstate 80 near Richards Street in Joliet a short time later.

The victim of the Mokena incident was taken by the Mokena Fire Protection District to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox for treatment of severe injuries. The news release stated the victim was then transferred to Loyola Hospital in Maywood for more intensive treatment of his injuries; he remained there as of Friday afternoon.

Governors State says it will close business centers

UNIVERSITY PARK – Governors State University has announced it is closing its Illinois Small Business Development Center and its Illinois SBDC International Trade Center due to the state’s budget crisis.

In a statement Tuesday, University President Elaine P. Maimon noted a 70 percent cut in state appropriations for fiscal year 2016 and only a six-month, stop-gap budget for fiscal year 2017. She says as a result, Governors State must move funds used to match federal and state dollars to departments that will maintain student services.

Maimon called the decision to close the centers a difficult one, adding the development center had been a “definitive resource” for business owners and entrepreneurs in Chicago’s southern suburbs.

University officials say the centers have helped more than 6,000 clients create 4,650 new jobs since 2001.

Work on Route 53 in Crest Will County VAC now offering Hill postponed from weather afternoon bus to Hines VA hospital SHAW MEDIA CREST HILL – Due to poor weather conditions, the planned viaduct planning project scheduled for this weekend for Route 53 in Crest Hill has been postponed.

The city was supposed to on Sept. 9 have a contractor start sand-blasting and painting the exterior steel portions of the CN Railroad viaduct on Route 53 between Caton Farm Road and Theodore Street.

That work is now scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Sept. 23; it is part of a rehab project that includes concrete abutment repairs and off-road landscaping.

The work will necessitate road closures and a temporary detour of northbound and southbound Route 53 at the CN Railroad for the weekend, from 7 p.m. Sept. 23 through 5 a.m. Sept. 26, in order to provide an adequate work area and to best ensure the safety of motorists and workers, according to the news release.

• RESIGNATION

Continued from page 6 McFarland wrote in an email that a charge of driving without insurance has been dismissed.

Meanwhile, the City Council has been reviewing a letter of reprimand regarding McFarland’s use of city envelopes last year.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office in June decided it would not pursue charges against McFarland for his use of city envelopes and a postage meter at the Forest Preserve District of Will County for mailings considered political. McFarland worked for the Forest Preserve District at the time but resigned later.

The City Council and the city’s inspector general have continued to review the matter for some kind of reprimand.

Councilman Pat Mudron said Friday that the letter has been written but has been rewritten with some council members concerned about specific language.

“That was still being worked on,” Mudron said, adding that it was discussed at a closed session of the council this week. “It hasn’t been done yet. I assume it’s never going to be done now.”

McFarland did not return a call Friday seeking comment. Instead he emailed his letter of resignation to The Herald-News, which had been provided earlier by City Manager Jim Hock.

Southbound traffic will be detoured west on Renwick Road to south on Weber Road, then continue south on Weber Road/Larkin Avenue to east on Theodore before ending at Broadway.

Northbound Route 53 traffic will be detoured west on Theodore Street to north on Larkin Avenue/Weber Road, then continue north onto Weber Road to east on Renwick Road. It will end at Broadway Street.

In the case of inclement weather, the backup date for the work to be done is 7 p.m. Sept. 30 to 5 a.m. Oct. 3.

Concrete abutment repairs and offroad landscaping also is part of the work, and it will include temporary, daily closure of one through lane of traffic in each direction while maintaining one open through lane in each direction.

The time frame for this work is expected to start before the blasting and painting is completed, and will continue for about 45 days, according to the city.

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Veterans Assistance Commission is offering a new transportation option for veterans needing to travel to the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital for afternoon appointments.

Monday through Thursday, the bus leaves the VAC, located at 2400 Glenwood Ave in Joliet, at noon.

It stops at the Joliet Community Based Outpatient Clinic, 1201 Eagle St., Joliet, at 12:30 p.m. before heading to Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital in Hines. The bus then leaves the hospital at 3:30 p.m. and returns to Joliet.

Erik Papineau, assistant superintendent at the Will County VAC, said a few clinics within the hospital – such as cardiology – do not open until noon.

Veterans who need to make appointments for these areas either have to pay for a taxi or shuttle ser-

vice, schedule a ride with someone they know, or take one of the morning shuttles and wait several hours to return.

With this option, veterans can devote less time and effort to their afternoon appointments. Papineau said the pilot program helps the VAC establish a more structured transportation schedule.

The service has been running for two weeks, but interest has been low, Papineau said. The VAC is trying to get the word out so veterans can be better served.

The bus does not have a wheelchair lift, but Papineau said the VAC is working to make that addition. He said caretakers can travel on the bus with veterans, but should be sure to notify the VAC when scheduling a ride.

All veterans with an appointment sheet from Hines are eligible, and all rides are free.

Call the VAC at 815-740-8389 for information.

In his letter emailed Friday after- calls for three at-large and there’s only for the mayor to appoint someone, but noon to Hock, McFarland writes that two. I think it would be appropriate that’s his decision.” he has “worked each day trying to make Joliet a better place to live, work and visit.”

The bulk of a letter is a list of 15 items that McFarland says he has accomplished in his one term of office, some of which he initiated and others that he supported.

They included the adoption of the “Cupcake Law” to allow home baking for profit, creating and passing a “local purchasing” ordinance, proposing a Check out puppy mill ordinance, initiating a cityour new wide testing program for fire hydrants, and supporting the hiring of additional private officers for the neighborhood policing gaming program. room O’Dekirk said he plans to appoint someone to fill McFarland’s seat and would not leave the position open until the April election.

“I’m going to want someone as soon as possible, because we have some big issues coming, including the budget,” he said.

The mayor has the authority to appoint replacements to fill vacant council seats, but the appointment goes to the City Council for approval.

Councilman John Gerl was appointCannot be combined with any other offers or ed to his position five months before discounts. Expires 9/30/16 an election, when the late Councilman JHN Anthony Uremovic resigned in the last months of his term.

Woman in iconic WWII kiss photograph dead at 92 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – The woman who was kissed by an ecstatic sailor in Times Square celebrating the end of World War II has died at the age of 92.

Greta Zimmer Friedman’s son said his mother died Thursday at a hospital in Richmond, Virginia. She died from complications of old age, he said.

Friedman was a 21-year-old dental assistant in a nurse’s uniform on Aug. 14, 1945, known as V-J Day, the day the Japanese surrendered. People spilled out into the streets from restaurants, bars and movie theaters in New York City when they heard the news. That’s when George Mendonsa spotted Friedman, spun her around and planted a kiss on her. The two had never met.

In fact, Mendonsa was on a date with an actual nurse, Rita Petry, who would later become his wife.

The photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt is called “V-J Day in Times Square” but is known to most the world over as simply, “The Kiss.” Mendonsa said that in some photos of the scene, Petry could be seen smiling in the background.

The photo was first published in Life, buried deep within the magazine’s pages. Over the years, the photo gained recognition, and several people claimed to be the kissing couple. In an August 1980 issue of Life, 11 men and three women said they were the subjects. It was years until Mendonsa and Friedman were confirmed to be the couple.

Joshua Friedman said his mother recalled it all happening in an instant.

“It wasn’t that much of a kiss,” Friedman said in an interview with the Veterans History Project in 2005.

“It was just somebody celebrating. It wasn’t a romantic event.”

The photograph has become one of the most famous photographs of the 20th century.

Both of Friedman’s parents died in the Holocaust, said Lawrence Verria, co-author of “The Kissing Sailor: The Mystery Behind the Photo that Ended World War II.” Friedman, who had escaped Austria, got to the U.S. when she was 15.

Friedman will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, next to her late husband, Dr. Misha Friedman.

Jamaican music legend, ska pioneer Prince Buster dies

By KELLI KENNEDY The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Ska pioneer and Jamaican music legend Prince Buster has died at 78, several years after suffering a stroke, his wife, Mola Ali, said Friday.

Born Cecil Bustamante Campbell in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1938, he became one of the island’s most revered musicians as Prince Buster, performing and producing popular ska bands in the 1960s including “The Vikings” and the “Folkes Brothers.”

Music was “his passion, his life,” his wife said in a phone interview. “He built a studio in the home. Every night he started music at about 3 or 4 o’ clock in the afternoon and about 3 or 4 at night is when he turned that off.”

A prolific musician, he recorded thousands of records, includ-

ing such hits as “Al Capone,” and “Judge Dread.” He helped ignite the ska movement in England and later helped carry it into the rocksteady era in the mid-1960s. During a ska revival in the late 1970s, a group of British musicians named their band Madness after one of his hit songs.

Prince Buster traveled extensively while performing, and he loved to garden, bringing seeds back home from all over the world. And he was a devoted husband at home, she said.

They had three children during their 47-year marriage, and he also fathered kids on the outside, she said, adding that she didn’t know exactly how many.

Prince Buster couldn’t walk after a massive stroke in 2009, but he could still communicate and travel. Ali said he died at a Miami hospital on Thursday after suffering heart problems.

STATE

Elgin mental health center to serve prisoners

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Part of a mental health center in suburban Chicago is being repurposed to provide treatment to Illinois inmates who have serious mental illnesses, Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration announced Friday.

The move is part of a settlement from a 2007 lawsuit against Illinois that resulted in the state being ordered to provide better care for its mentally ill inmates.

An agreement between the Illinois Departments of Corrections and Human Services will change two sections of the Elgin Mental Health Center to accommodate 44 beds for inmates who require inpatient care. The transition will happen over the next four months, according to a copy of the agreement.

Rauner’s administration hailed

“Prisons were not designed to be mental health facilities, but we must adjust to this reality. This new inpatient treatment program will allow us to provide focused care for seriously mentally ill offenders and help them deal with daily stressors of a prison environment.”

John Baldwin, Illinois Department of Corrections director the plan as a positive step to improve how mentally ill inmates are treated.

But the state’s largest employee union, which represents the workers at Elgin, said the change comes at the cost of beds that provide services to the public.

“Prisons were not designed to be mental health facilities, but we must adjust to this reality,” said John Baldwin, director of the Illinois Department of Corrections. “This new inpatient treatment program will allow us

to provide focused care for seriously mentally ill offenders and help them deal with daily stressors of a prison environment.”

Elgin currently has 344 beds for people who were deemed unfit for trial or were found not guilty by reason of insanity, and an additional 75 are “civil” beds, meaning they’re meant to provide mental health services to the public.

Rauner’s office said no service reductions to the public are expected, and

access drugs that can cure the potentially fatal disease.

The Chicago Tribune reported the state relaxed a 2-year-old policy that had limited drug coverage to just the sickest patients, or those with stage 4 liver scarring.

Now, Medicaid will cover drug costs for those with stage 3 scarring.

John Hoffman is a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. He told the Tribune the previous policy was “designed to provide care within the state’s fiscal restraints for those facing the most need.”

News from across the state Chicago police solving fewer killings than other cities

CHICAGO – Chicago police are solving homicides at a far lower rate than their counterparts in some other major cities, which may reflect how hard it is for detectives to crack the culture of silence surrounding the violence committed by the city’s street gangs.

Of the 432 homicides committed between Jan. 1 and Aug. 16 of this year, the department has solved 92, or 21 percent of them, the Chicago Tribune reported.

When homicides committed in all years are added in, the department said the clearance rate is about 30 percent. But even that figure is lower than the 49 percent rate in Philadelphia and 56 percent in Houston, which ranks just behind Chicago in terms of population size.

Experts said one reason so few are solved is that, as police have long said, so many are related to gangs in the poor neighborhoods where most of the shootings occur. They said witnesses who live in these neighborhoods are afraid to come forward out of fear of retaliation and a gang culture in which gang members have been historically unwilling to cooperate with police.

that civil patients currently in Elgin will have been discharged by the time the transition is finalized or transferred to other facilities in the state.

But Anders Lindall, spokesman for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Chicago, the union representing state workers, said the changes at Elgin will wipe out 50 beds that hundreds of people use every year.

Lindall said there’s already fewer places for people to go for mental health services in the Chicago area and the 14 counties the Elgin center serves. He agreed with the need to provide mental health services to inmates outside of prison, but added that “it has to come from expanding capacity.”

“The Rauner administration should not cannibalize what little capacity for mental health services still remains,” he said.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS John Hinckley Jr. leaves mental hospital for Va.

WASHINGTON – The man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan has been released from a Washington mental hospital for good, more than 35 years after the shooting.

A spokeswoman for the District of Columbia’s Department of Mental Health said early Saturday that all patients scheduled to leave St. Elizabeths Hospital had been discharged. John Hinckley Jr. was among those scheduled for discharge.

A federal judge ruled in late July that the 61-year-old Hinckley is not a danger to himself or the public and can live full time at his mother’s home in Williamsburg.

Analysis: Syria deal offers hope; Russia calling shots

WASHINGTON – Saturday’s deal to renew a nationwide truce in Syria, open aid routes and establish a U.S.-Russian military partnership may be the best hope yet to end the brutal five-year civil war. It is also full of potential pitfalls and leaves Moscow with far more power than Washington to determine whether there can be lasting peace.

Careful to note the possibility for failure, Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov were nevertheless upbeat as they announced the agreement after a

marathon negotiating session in Geneva that culminated dozens of one-on-one conversations over the past several months.

Spurred on by the violence that has enveloped the Syrian city of Aleppo – intense airstrikes were reported there Saturday – the two diplomats forged a pact they say departs from previous unsuccessful attempts to halt the bloodshed.

Yet the new blueprint appears to suffer from a fundamental imbalance common to the earlier efforts.

If U.S.-backed or other rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad break the cease-fire, Russia could threaten to respond militarily or allow his forces to retaliate. But if Assad breaks the cease-fire, the U.S. has no clear enforcement stick.

Naked bicyclists swarm City of Brotherly Love

PHILADELPHIA – Thousands of bicyclists dared to be bare for the city’s annual nude ride promoting positive body image, cycling advocacy and fuel conservation.

About 3,000 people gathered Saturday for the eighth annual Philly Naked Bike Ride through the city’s streets. The annual ride featured people sporting underwear, body paint, glitter or nothing at all.

Clinton says her ‘Deplorables’ comment is ‘grossly generalistic’

By CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – Hillary Clinton said Saturday that she was wrong to put half of Donald Trump’s supporters in a “basket of deplorables,” but she didn’t back down from describing his campaign as largely built on prejudice and paranoia. The Republican accused her of a “grotesque attack on American voters.”

Less than 24 hours after she made the comments at a private New York City fundraiser, Clinton said in a statement, “last night I was ‘grossly generalistic’ and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ – that was wrong.”

But she argued that the word “deplorable” was reasonable to describe much of Trump’s campaign.

“He has built his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia and given a national platform to hateful views and voices, including by retweeting fringe bigots with a few dozen followers and spreading their message to 11 million people,” the Democratic nominee said.

Responding in a statement, Trump said it was “disgraceful that Hillary Clinton makes the worst mistake of the political season and instead of owning up to this grotesque attack on American voters, she tries to turn it around with a pathetic rehash of the words and insults used in her failing campaign?”

Trump added that Clinton was showing “bigotry and hatred for millions of Americans,” arguing that she was “incapable to serve as President of the United States.”

Clinton, who has said she is the candidate to unify a divided country, made the “deplorables” comment at an LGBT fundraiser Friday night at a New York City restaurant, with about 1,000 people in attendance. She has made similar comments recently, including on an Israeli television station.

“To just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into

The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic – you name it,” she said, before stressing that other Trump supporters are frustrated and need sympathy.

Trump and his supporters quickly pounced on the remark, arguing that it revealed Clinton as disconnected from struggling Americans.

“Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of amazing, hard-working people. I think it will cost her at the polls!”

Trump said in a tweet.

Running mate Mike Pence, in remarks at the Values Voter conference in Washington, shot back: “The truth of the matter is that the men and women who support Donald Trump’s campaign are hard-working Americans, farmers, coal miners, teachers, veterans, members of our law enforcement community, members of every class of this country who know that we can make America great again.”

Of course, while Clinton is taking heat for her comment, Trump’s brand is controversy.

At a rally in Pensacola, Florida, on Friday, he said Clinton is “so protected” that “she could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching, right smack in the middle of the heart. And she wouldn’t be prosecuted.”

Clinton’s rhetorical stumble came as the candidates head into the final two months of the campaign, with Trump trying to make up ground be-

fore the Nov. 8 election.

Clinton has not let the media into many private fundraisers, but press was allowed in to hear her remarks Friday.

At the New York restaurant, Clinton bemoaned the people she described as “deplorables,” saying “unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people – now how 11 million.

He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks – they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America,” said Clinton, who was the country’s top diplomat during President Barack Obama’s first term.

Clinton then pivoted and tried to characterize the other half of Trump’s supporters, putting them in “that other basket” and saying they need empathy.

She described them as “people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change.”

Seeking to explain the statements, Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said in a series of tweets after the remarks that Clinton has been talking about the “alternative right,” or “alt-right” movement, which often is associated with efforts on the far right to preserve “white identity,” oppose multiculturalism and defend “Western values.”

BUSINESS Praise for high-yielding Energy Transfer Equity stock Dear Mr. Berko: We sold our home in 2010, taking back a 7 percent mortgage. That mortgage is being paid off early with a check for $132,000. We’ll use $100,000 to buy another house and invest $32,000 in income stocks. We’re angry at the low interest rates and willing to take some risks to get a 6 or 7 percent yield. Our stockbroker very strongly recommends the Putnam High Yield Trust Fund Class Y, which yields 6 percent. My wife and I would appreciate any suggestions you have.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the riskiest, we are willing to take a 6 or 7 risk. Can you recommend a better alternative? – PD, North Carolina Dear PD: It’s bloody scary out there because low- and no-yield certificates of deposit have forced investors who can’t afford risks to purchase dreadfully unsuitable investments to pay their bills. And we may soon hear a series of explosions when interest rates rise, because managing many treacherous high-yielding investments is like trying to cross a minefield without a map of the land mines’ locations.

There are some good high-yielding issues I’m comfortable owning, but though they’re much less iffy than others, they still make my teeth itch.

Energy Transfer Equity (ETE-$17.76), yielding 6.3 percent, is among those I

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko care for and looks attractive.

The petroleum industry is divided into three major sectors (upstream, midstream and downstream), which I discussed in a column last year. ETE is a midstream limited partnership involved in the transportation (pipeline, rail, barge, oil tanker), storing, processing and wholesale marketing of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. And now that ETE’s ill-advised cash buyout of Williams Companies (WMB-$29.75) turned out to be an empty well, this $39 billion-revenue midstream LP may be a good income and dividend growth investment.

Rather than invest $32,000 in the Putnam High Yield Trust Fund Class Y (PHYYX-$7.33), just purchase $15,000 worth of PHYYX, yielding 5.93 percent (not 6 percent), and then buy 1,000 shares of ETE. ETE has a 6.3 percent distribution. Its distribution has doubled since 2010 and will be raised this year. Though ETE is grossly speculative, I think it’s among the best grossly speculative LPs because it may increase revenues, earnings and

income annually.

PHYYX is a good fund. It offers the safety of diversification, and its share price has remained rather stable in the past six years, though its dividend has declined yearly since 2010. In that same time frame, ETE’s dependable midstream business model has enabled management to increase revenues sixfold, nearly triple its net income and better than double shareholders’ cash distributions. And whereas PHYYX’s income is taxable, ETE’s distributions (equivalent to 9 percent pretax) are not subject to ordinary income taxes.

ETE is a big, important company, and management wants ETE to become bigger and more important.

ETE owns 7,521 miles of natural gas pipelines and three natural gas storage facilities in Texas, and it owns 12,293 miles of interstate natural gas pipelines, from which ETE wholesales natural gas to utilities, independent power plants, local distributors and industrial users. ETE’s business also includes the operation and maintenance of 35,000 in-service natural gas pipelines, 30 natural gas processing plants, 21 natural gas treatment facilities and four natural gas conditioning facilities in Texas, New Mexico, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Phillips Chevrolet begins expansion The HERALD–NEWS FRANKFORT – Phillips Chevrolet in Frankfort held a groundbreaking ceremony last week to celebrate the commencement of a building expansion that includes the addition of quick lube bays in the service department, as well as additional financing offices and accounting offices.

Phillips Chevrolet President Curtis Pascarella and General Manager Michael Maheras were joined by General Motors Chicago District Manager Mike Bishop, as well as Frankfort Mayor Jim Holland and Village Trustees Cynthia Corso Heath, Robert J. Kennedy, Keith Ogle, R. Douglas Walker and Mike Stevens.

This expansion represents a $2 million investment in serving the automotive needs of the Frankfort area, according to a news release from the company. These improvements are in addition to a 2011 renovation which expanded the new car showroom and service department, as well as improved the building’s front façade.

ETE also has 2,000 miles of pipelines for natural gas liquids and four NGL and propane fractionation facilities, as well as NGL storage depots.

ETE provides gasoline and distillates to its 51 percent-owned Sunoco (SUN$30.51), a fuel distributor that owns 896 convenience stores and fuel outlets in eight states. And finally, ETE is the general partner of its $26 billion-revenue Energy Transfer Partners (ETP-$41.11), which owns and operates 63,000 miles of natural gas pipelines.

I believe that ETE will be a satisfying and modestly secure income and growth LP, and you should participate in potentially higher revenues, earnings and dividends.

Raymond James and Merrill Lynch have downgraded ETE to “neutral.”

However, Oppenheimer, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs and MFS Investment Management own huge blocks of ETE, and Kelcy Warren, chairman of the board, purchased nearly 3 million shares late last year for between $15 and $18.50. Thomson Reuters, Market Edge, UBS and Goldman rate ETE as a “buy.” I do, too.

OUR VIEW

Remembering, and honoring, those lost in ’01 terrorist attacks The nation wept 15 years ago today.

Four passenger airliners were hijacked by members of al-Qaida with the intent of flying them into buildings. Three of them reached their target – the North and South towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Virginia. A fourth plane crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after passengers tried to subdue the hijackers.

The towers crumbled to the ground. Nearly 3,000 people were killed.

And we wept. How could we not? As we watched planes fly into buildings, as the magnitude of the loss enveloped us, as we realized that the field in Pennsylvania was evidence of an unimaginable sacrifice those brave souls made, our tears were a sign of the love and compassion we had for our fellow Americans.

There was resilience, as we vowed to hold accountable those responsible for the carnage. And there was a sense of solidarity as the country came together as one. We were united in our grief, but also in our pride for our country, and vowed that from the dust our country would rise stronger.

In 2001, we promised we would do right by those lost, and honor their memories by being better than the cowards who attacked us. We vowed to never forget.

Fifteen years later, at times it seems remembering appears to be something we have forgotten. Sept. 11 often seems more like a historical event we recall, not one we lived through. Fewer people were alive that day – this year’s high school freshmen, for instance, weren’t alive when it happened. And unity? That seems nonexistent. We are a country divided among so many fault lines we can’t keep count. We seem to relish exposing our differences.

But it’s not too late to change direction.

Today, we will remember. And we may weep again as we pay tribute to the deceased, to the passengers who fought the hijackers, and the firefighters, police officers and first responders who ran toward the carnage as everyone headed the other way. We will pray for their souls, and ask God for understanding and blessings upon the families of those they left behind.

But we also can recall the love that permeated the country 15 years ago, and that camaraderie we felt for our fellow Americans. We can celebrate our similarities.

We can channel that spirit that rose 15 years ago, and like we did then, strive for unity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Every year new opportunity for Steelmen

To the Editor: Another Sunday, another opportunity for Herald-News Sports Editor Dick Goss to trot out the grand total of Joliet Central’s football losses. While Steelmen fans are anxiously awaiting that first win, the Central football program is so much more than just that.

They are coached by a talented and dedicated group of men who teach much more than just football. They also model good behavior and teach their players how to be decent young men off the field.

In addition, more and more players are leaving each year, fully prepared to play at the next level. Can’t Joliet Central finally be treated like every other local high school, with just the current season’s record published? Every year is a new opportunity and as I see it we are just 0-2 for the 2016 season.

Go Steelmen!

Americans deserve to have private, personal information secured

To the Editor: Increasing reports of Americans suffering from identify theft demonstrate the vulnerability of our

personal information. I recently had a conversation with a family from Will County who recounted to me the horrific story of how it took months to recover their life savings stolen by an identify thief. In 2014, a colleague of mine in the U.S. House, Jim Renacci (OH16), and his wife were also victims of identity theft.

Americans are compelled to surrender personal information to the government for a variety of reasons, including applying for a job and filling out tax forms. Unfortunately, the government does not always prioritize the safety of your valuable, private information.

One such case is home mortgage disclosure. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau requires that certain personal information – such as credit scores – be disclosed online when applying for a home mortgage. The CFPB says the information is anonymous, but skilled thieves can connect the dots between potential homeowners and their information, putting their finances at risk.

In order to improve the financial security of Americans, I introduced the Homeowner Information Privacy Protection Act (H.R. 4993) to eliminate the gap in private data security for Americans that apply for mortgages. It halts any federal agency or entity from publishing this personally identifiable information

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

Sept. 11 attacks left many casualties

For my grandparents’ generation, the “where were you” moment was Dec. 7, 1941, the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.

For my parents’ generation it was Nov. 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

For everyone who came after, it’s Sept. 11, 2001, the day the world as we know it changed forever.

Fifteen years later I still look at life in terms of the way things were before the terrorist attacks, and what was to follow.

The 1990s, at least through the subjective lens of memory, were a time of great possibility and great opportunity.

The U.S. had just pulled off what seemed like the perfect war, leading a solid international coalition that all but obliterated Iraq’s occupation forces in Kuwait.

I can still remember watching the news each night, with Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf narrating the daily “smart bomb” strikes, making witty asides as Iraqi bunkers and armor were blown to smithereens. It was all very entertaining but also surreal, like you were watching a video game.

I remember wondering at the time if this was how Americans would expect all future wars to be fought.

The war ended on Feb. 28, 1991, not really a red letter date in itself, but one in a series of major conflict resolutions across the globe: Fifteen months after the Berlin Wall came down. Sixteen months after the Cold War ended.

Ten months before the Soviet Union collapsed.

Two more significant milestones were to occur later in the decade, though you’ll probably only remember one of them.

The first occurred sometime during 1997, I don’t know the exact date. I remember hearing about it on the network news one night, Tom Brokaw explaining that for the first time in decades there were no major armed conflicts occurring anywhere on the planet. It only lasted for a few weeks, but during those weeks there was literally peace on earth.

The second was on Oct. 28, 1998, the year the U.S. government recorded its first surplus in 28 years, a fiscal phenomenon that would reoccur over each of the following three years.

All in all, the decade was pretty much blue sky. The economy was good.

Jobs were plentiful. Employers still followed the quaint old tradition of annual raises. Americans had money to burn.

The future was wide open.

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus About the only thing people worried about back then was the dreaded Y2K, the date all computers on Earth would quit working and the world would be plunged into darkness. But Jan. 1, 2000, came and went without incident and everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

It looked like we pretty much had the new millennium licked.

All that changed on Sept. 11, 2001.

That morning we discovered America wasn’t invulnerable.

That morning we discovered wars were no longer fought on faraway battlefields.

That morning we discovered our wide-open future wasn’t so wide open after all.

A lot of good people died, many who never saw death coming, and others who faced it voluntarily.

There were other casualties, as well.

The economy tanked, and while it eventually recovered, things were never really the same. For a lot of businesses, jobs cut during the subsequent recession remained unfilled even after the recovery.

The government also has fared poorly. In 2001, the U.S. had a $154 billion budget surplus. We’re now around $534 billion in the red, facing a national debt of $19.5 trillion.

Support for the United States was almost unanimous worldwide after the bombings. Now, two wars later, it seems like we have more enemies than friends.

Safety concerns have become paramount across the country. Privacy has largely been sacrificed on the altar of security. And despite best efforts, the attacks keep coming. San Bernadino.

Paris. Miami. Nice. And many others.

And that’s just in the last few months.

And God only knows what tomorrow will bring.

And perhaps that’s the real difference with this milestone.

World War II brought closure to Pearl Harbor. The Warren Commission Report brought closure to the Kennedy assassination.

Fifteen years after 9/11, there’s still no end in sight.

until all potential privacy concerns are addressed. The government then must make the case for publishing such data.

Previously, I have supported two House-passed bills – the Health Exchange Security and Transparency Act and the Safe and Secure Federal Websites Act – that improve the way the federal government handles and discloses the private information of citizens in the areas of health insurance and tax filings.

Americans deserve to have private, personal information secured when they entrust it to the government.

40 FOOTBALL: LOCKPORT 16, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 14

Opportunistic Lockport tops Lincoln-Way Central

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – Lockport scored twice after Lincoln-Way Central turnovers and came away with a 16-14 victory Friday night in the first SouthWest Suburban Conference football game for two teams that had come in unbeaten.

The 3-0 start for the Porters is their best since 2009.

“Special teams made a big difference in this game,” Lockport coach Dan Starkey said. “Hitting the field goal at the end of the first half was big to get us back to only a point down, and our punter pinned them [Knights] back a few times.”

Lockport senior quarterback Ben Davis was only 6 of 15 passing for 40 yards and three interceptions, but he also serves as the Porters’ kicker and punter.

After Central opened the scoring on a 65-yard run by Mitch Hosman (nine carries, 81 yards) to go up, 7-0, as the first quarter ended, Davis kicked a 27-yard field goal with 3:20 left before the half to get Lockport within 7-3.

The Knights then moved the ball to midfield before Lockport’s Zachary Reece intercepted a Hunter Campbell pass with 0:54 left in the half and Davis kicked a 39-yard field to make it 7-6 as the half ended.

The Porters took advantage of another Central turnover as Lockport’s Eric Jungheim picked off Campbell on the opening drive of the second half.

The Porters drove to the Knights’ 12-yard line and, on fourth-and-2, tailback Tavares Moore ran 12 yards for a touchdown to give Lockport a 13-7 lead.

Moore, a junior, carried the load again for the Porters. He rushed for 175 yards on 33 carries, had a reception for nine yards and returned one kickoff.

“When my number is called, all I’m thinking about is getting positive yards,” Moore said. “On the fourthdown play when I scored, that shows the trust the coaches have in me in that situation. But the offensive line did a great job all night, and on the touchdown run it was easy because of our line.”

Central had a golden opportunity late in the third quarter after Peyton Nigro intercepted a Davis pass.

Campbell hit Mike Morgan with a 40-yard pass down the sideline to the Lockport 20. After a 9-yard run by Hosman, he got the call again, but the Porters’ Nicholas Dado forced a fumble, and Jungheim picked up the bounc-

“That hit by Nick [Dado] and the recovery turned the game around,” Jungheim said. “I saw the ball and just picked it up and started running.

We have the type of team that is all

on the same page. We know what we want, and we do it together. We know that our job on defense is to give our offense opportunities. We are playing with fire right now.”

After a three-and-out by the Porters, a Davis punt pinned the Knights

at their 6-yard line. The Lockport defense stood tall and forced Central to punt on fourth-and-2. The punt never happened as Devin Smith, the Knights’ punter, was swarmed and tackled by the Porters on the 11-yard line.

“Turnovers at the wrong time and turning it over in the red zone hurt tonight,” Central coach Jeremy Cordell said. “Their punting game pinned us back a few times, and we couldn’t recover.

“We scored the first and last touchdowns of the game, but just couldn’t get anything in between. I’m proud of our kids to come back. We battled all game.”

Davis kicked a 24-yard field goal to give the Porters a 16-7 lead with 6:19 left.

But Central wasn’t done as it put together a nine-play drive, which was capped when Campbell hit Smith with a 6-yard pass with 3:35 left to make it 16-14.

Lockport took over on its 27-yard line and handed the ball to Moore for five consecutive runs to run out the clock.

“That was big at the end, finishing the game by picking up those first downs,” Starkey said. “We have great kids and senior leadership. They give such a great effort in practice. We are finding ways to win.”

plays brought back by penalty in the first half – Gianfranco Dinardo’s 39yard return on his fumble recovery to the South 35 and Adam Hayes’ 50-yard run to the Cougars’ 6 – the Wildcats found a spark midway through the fourth quarter. Linebacker Tom Gustafson, a tackling machine on this night, delivered a huge hit, forcing a fumble that Ja’Quaviez Houston recovered on the South 20-yard line.

On second-and-12 from the 22, Hayes hit Jared Ellingwood with a pass in the flat, and he ran it to the 1. Adam Hayes scored from there to make it 14-6.

A snap that was not handled cleanly on the extra-point attempt left it an eight-point spread and would prove costly.

On Central’s next possession, Marcus Hayes was facing a fourth-and-6 at the Wildcats’ 40. He was trapped in the backfield by a handful of Cougars

“That kid [Marcus Hayes] is unbelievable – he’s a great quarterback.”

Bill Bicker

Plainfield South football coach but somehow escaped and broke down the right sideline. He was ruled to have stepped out of bounds on the South 2.

Two plays later, Houston scored from the 2, but he was stopped on the conversion attempt to leave the final 14-12.

“That’s the kind of stuff you expect from Marcus,” Jake Portz said of the 58yard run to the 2.

“That kid [Marcus Hayes] is unbelievable – he’s a great quarterback,” Bicker said. “We had him and should have sacked him, but we didn’t wrap up.

“We did not finish a few tackles at the end, but I’m proud of our guys that they never gave in to the momentum Central built. They could have given in on the two-point conversion, and they didn’t.”

The defenses dominated to the extent that neither offense reached 200 total yards. South finished with 194, including 101 on the ground, and Central with 189, including 100 on the ground.

Deppe completed 10 of 14 passes for 93 yards. Macari caught six for 45 yards.

Marcus Hayes, who netted 85 yards in 15 rushes, completed 8 of 16 passes for 89 yards. Ellingwood grabbed two for 46 yards.

Central won the sophomore game in dramatic fashion, 22-21. The Wildcats rallied from a 21-7 halftime deficit, went ahead on a two-point conversion with about four minutes left, then recovered an onside kick to help run down the time.

• Sunday, September 11, 2016

JOLIET – Plainfield Central’s opportunity to end its long losing streak came down to a late two-point conversion Friday night, but the Plainfield South defense was up to the challenge.

With 1 minute 37 seconds left, the Cougars’ defense stopped running back Lovell Houston Jr. at about the 4-yard line on a slant to the right side, the left side of the South defense, to secure a 14-12 Southwest Prairie victory in the meeting between the Plainfield rivals at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

“That’s our defense – we swarm to the ball, get everybody to the tackle,” Cougars linebacker Jake Portz said.

“That’s what we did on the two-point play. Houston is dangerous. So are Marcus and Adam Hayes.”

“I wanted to put it on our offensive line,” Central coach Jon Pereiro said.

“A hole was there, but it closed quick.

They’ve got those two stud linebackers, the Portz brothers (Jake and Nick). We ran off tackle, and I think they still got into the play.”

The Wildcats (0-3, 0-3), who have not won since Week 8 of the 2012 season, then attempted an onside kick. But South recovered and ran out the clock.

The Cougars (2-1, 2-1) scored touchdowns on their first two possessions to grab a 14-0 lead with 1:37 left in the first quarter. Tom Macari ran 43 yards on a jet sweep to set up the first score, Sayvaun Roberts’ 7-yard run.

Central quarterback Marcus Hayes could not handle a snap on the subsequent possession, and South’s Jordan Eskridge picked up the ball and returned it 15 yards to the Wildcats’ 41.

Nick Portz eventually scored from 2 yards out, but the key play in the drive was Nick Deppe’s 19-yard pass to Victor Ballard on third-and-13 from the Central 29.

Zach Sutphin converted both extra points, which wound up being huge in the outcome.

“We got off to a good start, exactly the way we drew it up,” South coach Bill Bicker said. “But we did not finish the way we wanted.

“You never apologize for a ‘W,’ and we don’t walk out of here with our heads down. That would be an insult to them (Wildcats). You have to be proud of them for the way they kept playing the way they should. They are wellcoached.”

“Our kids did a great job after not playing that well in the first half,” Pereiro said. “It would have been nice to take this one from them. This is going to give us a fire in our gut.”

42 FOOTBALL: MORRIS 48, QUINCY NOTRE DAME 7

Fast start, big finish add up to Morris win

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris football team started fast and finished strong Friday night in a 48-7 nonconference win over Quincy Notre Dame. That was more than enough to improve to 3-0 on the season.

Morris, which will visit Rochelle on Friday, forced Quincy Notre Dame (1-2) into a punt on its first possession, and Michael Feeney did the rest. The 5-foot-11, 192-pound senior returned the punt 55 yards for a touchdown to put Morris ahead, 7-0, with 10:01 to play in the first quarter. It was the beginning of a big night for Feeney, who finished with a game-high 161 rushing yards on 11 carries, including a 62-yard TD run in the fourth and a 56yard burst that set up a score later in the first quarter.

One of the keys to opening the holes that Feeney ran through was his first cousin, Nolan, who is the starting center in the large Morris front line.

“We really got it going in the second half,” said Nolan Feeney, a 6-2, 277-pound junior. “The line really picked things up and opened up some nice holes. It’s also good to have backs like we do, that if they get even a little opening, can go a long way.

“We just need to keep getting better

Morris’ Michael Feeney runs the ball Friday against Quincy Notre Dame at Morris. The Indians defeated the Raiders, 48-7. Feeney finished with a game-high 161 rushing yards on 11 carries. each week. That’s what we want to do, and I think we have so far.”

Michael Gerischer and Keagan Sobol also scored first-quarter touchdowns for Morris, which survived a pair of Quincy Notre Dame drives inside its 15 in the third quarter. Feeney and Sobol each had an interception in

the end zone to prevent the Raiders from cutting into the lead.

After being held scoreless in the second and third quarters, Morris got its offense going again in the fourth.

Kameron Dransfeldt had scoring runs of 20 and 7 yards, Feeney scored from 62 yards out, and Merrick Hairape-

tian scored from a yard away to cap the scoring. In all, Morris ran for 415 yards, as Gerischer added 88 yards on nine carries and Sobol had 37 yards on six attempts. Dransfeldt ran five times for 34 yards.

“The defense really picked up the offense in the third quarter, especially,” Gerischer said. “When the defense got those two stops near the end zone, it really gave the offense a lift. And the offense all starts up front. Those guys were opening some big holes.

“We like coming out with a lot of intensity. We have to come out of the locker room ready to win.”

Although it was the second win by more than 40 points in the first three weeks, it wasn’t without its faults.

“We kind of stalled on offense in the middle,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “But the defense did a great job of keeping Quincy out of the end zone, and we just stuck with our game plan.

“The early punt return was huge.

We have been close to getting one to break in each of the first two games, and we got one tonight. The offensive line just kept opening holes, and our strength and conditioning showed itself in the fourth quarter. It’s hard to be upset with a win by 41 points, but there were some things we need to improve on that we will address before next week.”

FOOTBALL: COAL CITY 31, STREATOR 0

Coal City scores early, often to beat Streator

By MARK JOHNSON

Shaw Media Correspondent COAL CITY – Although starting Friday night 2-0, the Coal City football team had only a one-point lead in the opening week against Reed-Custer before pulling away after the first quarter, and it went back and forth with Lisle in Week 2.

There was no slow start and no real drama Friday night as the Coalers opened Interstate Eight Large play with a 31-0 victory over Streator. Other than when they took a knee to end the first half, the Coalers scored each of their first five possessions.

“I’m very happy tonight,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said. “I thought we really made some very good strides this evening – offense, defense and special teams. There were some things we were really looking to improve on, and we did make those strides.”

After a Streator three-and-out, the

“I’m very happy tonight. I thought we really made some very good strides this evening – offense, defense and special teams. There were some things we were really looking to improve on, and we did make those strides.”

Lenny Onsen

Coal City football coach Coal City offense opened with a 15play, 60-yard touchdown drive. A 22yard pass from Christian Johnson to Kaleb Spreitzer on third-and-16 and a 6-yard Johnson run on fourth-and-2 were key plays leading up to Johnson’s 4-yard touchdown toss to Cal Smolik.

Coal City’s second turn with the ball was much briefer than its first, as Blake Harseim returned a Streator punt 71 yards to the end zone very early in the second quarter. Before

halftime, the Coalers added a 23-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to Junior Arias and a 27-yard field goal from Smolik, who also kicked all four extra points.

“We came out pretty strong, moved the ball down on the first drive, and that just set the tone for the rest of the half,” Johnson said.

Arias returned the opening kickoff of the second half 46 yards, and Nick Hayden followed immediately with a 40-yard touchdown run.

It was not necessarily a highlight-filled effort for the Coalers’ defense, which got sacks from Michael Pampuch and Ty Hakey but no turnovers, but they held the Bulldogs (1-2) to 66 total yards and five first downs.

“Just hitting hard – I thought we got after it a little bit,” Onsen said.

“We swarmed to the ball better than we have, getting more guys to the ball.”

Coal City will go on the road this week to face two-time defending conference champion Manteno. The Coalers, who never have won an outright Large title, have lost three straight in the regular season to the Panthers, although Coal City did win when the teams met in the 2014 Class 4A playoffs.

“We’re gonna have our hands full,” Onsen said. “They’re gonna throw it all over the place and try to make plays, and hopefully we’re up to the challenge.”

The 36-yard field goal would be West’s only score as it lost to Oswego, 7-3. they played,” Oswego coach Brian Cooney said. “But this one feels like a loss. We will take 3-0, but we will prepare this week like we are 2-1.”

West never could get a running game established against the Panthers’ big front. Aubry was 14 of 36 passing for 147 yards, but also had two interceptions.

“I hate losing, especially in these tight games, but we are right

there,” West coach Jason Aubry said.

“We are very close. Our defense again stepped up and played very, very well.

Offensively, we started to move the ball a little bit, and then we had errors.

“So many opportunities on the offensive side. A dropped ball, an errant pass, a penalty at the wrong time are some of those little things that make a big difference in a game like this.

We never got the running game estab-

FOOTBALL: ST. PATRICK 49, JOLIET CATHOLIC 35

St. Patrick uses big plays to beat Joliet Catholic

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent CHICAGO – Big plays.

It started when St. Patrick’s Joe Lombardi took the opening kickoff 98 yards for a score in Saturday’s East Suburban Catholic Conference opener against Joliet Catholic Academy.

In the second half, the Shamrocks ran only nine plays to 45 for Hilltoppers. Unfortunately for JCA, three of those nine were of the big-play variety that helped St. Patrick to a 49-35 win.

A 91-yard scoring strike from quarterback Anthony Mazzenga (9 of 10, 163 yards, two touchdowns) to wide receiver Paddy Byrne, a 51yard touchdown jaunt from Marcus Wright (12 carries, 114 yards) and a 72-yard pass from punter Jon Hamilton to Payton Bauer on a fake punt highlighted St. Patrick’s second-half big plays.

JCA (0-3,0-1) amassed 437 yards of total offense and rushed for 334 yards, while St. Patrick (3-0, 1-0) had 299 yards of total offense. While it took the Hilltoppers six-minute drives to score their touchdowns, it took the Shamrocks just seconds.

“We played very well on the offensive side of the ball,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said. “Our offensive line grew up today. We just couldn’t finish off our long drives. On defense, we lost two more starters – that makes eight defensive starters we have lost since Week 1. Every time St. Patrick touched the ball, they scored. We just couldn’t stop them.”

After Lombardi’s kickoff return, the Hilltoppers answered with a 49yard touchdown jaunt from Rio Strama (nine rushes, 84 yards). Tony Trabold’s conversion tied the game at 7 with 7:01 left in the first quarter.

“Our offensive line blocked well for us tonight,” Strama said. “I had

a good game running the ball, but we just couldn’t finish our drives. Also, we allowed too many big plays to St. Patrick.”

St. Patrick added a pair of touchdowns to grab a 20-7 lead in the first quarter. Byrne scored the first of his three touchdowns on 15-yard run. Andrew Edgar (five catches, 65 yards) connected with Mazzenga from nine yards out for a 20-7 lead.

With 10:37 left in the half, quarterback Pat Roth (10 for 20, 103 yards, TD) hit Ke’Von Johnson (24 carries, 154 yards, four receptions, 44 yards), from 15 yards out to pull the Hilltoppers within 20-14.

“Our offensive line did a great job today,” Johnson said. “I had a good running and catching the ball, but we all have to put it together so we can get our first win. I believe if we practice hard this week, we can maybe accomplish that against a very good Notre Dame team next week.”

On the ensuing kickoff, JCA’s Hayden Wagner pounced on the free ball. Two minutes later, Johnson’s 18yard touchdown run with Trabold’s conversion gave the Hilltoppers their only lead, 21-20, with 8:12 in the half.

Byrne scored again with 2:30 left in the half, and the Shamrocks converted a two-point play for a 28-21 halftime lead.

The Hilltoppers, took the second half kickoff and drove 76 yards, only to be turned away on downs at the Shamrock 9. After consecutive offside penalties, lightning struck for the Shamrocks in the long pass from Mazzenga to Byrne.

Keenan Hailey (19 carries, 91 yards) pulled JCA to within 35-28, when he scored from seven yards out with 10:21 left in the game. Soon after, the Shamrocks broke things open.

JCA’s Aidan Tyrell completed the scoring with a four-yard touchdown run with 12 seconds left in the game.

• Sunday, September 11, 2016

JOLIET – It was expected to be a low-scoring game Saturday between Oswego and Joliet West, and it was exactly as advertised.

After stopping West on the opening drive of the game, Oswego marched 81 yards in 17 plays, consuming 8:30 on the clock. Anthony Grimes scored from a yard out to earn a hard-fought 7-3 victory over the Tigers in a Southwest Prairie Conference matchup.

Neither side could get anything established offensively, mostly because of strong defensive efforts by both teams.

The Panthers (3-0) had drives of 11 and nine plays in the first half, but West’s defense held them at bay and stopped both drives on fourth-down situations.

After the nine-play drive stop by West, the Tigers (1-2) took over on their own 23-yard line with 2:08 left in the half.

Sophomore quarterback Jaxon Aubry engineered an 11-play drive that included nine passes, but stalled at the Oswego 14-yard line. After a five-yard penalty on West, Matthew Prieboy hit a 36-yard field goal to end the half and the scoring in the game.

“Credit the West defense for how

lished, which would have opened up the pass even more. We have a fairly young offense.

“Kevon Dorris made a couple of really nice catches, and then there were a few times the ball just bounced off his hands. We have young guys, but there is a time in a season where you can’t blame it on young guys anymore. Yeah, they are sophomores – but at this point in the season, we should be rolling, and I think we are getting to that point.”

West forced Oswego into three second-half turnovers as Andrew Smith intercepted a pass, with Robert Ford and Julius Garrett recovering Panthers fumbles, but could not take advantage of the situation.

After the Garrett fumble recovery, West put together one last drive with 6:15 remaining. It was the longest drive of the second half by either team – eight plays. But Oswego held on a fourthand-five, and ran out the clock.

Oswego was led by senior running back Drew White, who rushed for 130 yards on 30 carries.

The Panthers’ Nick Marra added 56 yards on the ground, with 10 carries and quarterback Levi Olson was 5-of-15 for 103 yards. His big target was senior Elliot Pipkin, who had four receptions for 98 yards. Kyle Keeton and Matt Maruna had the two second-half interceptions that stopped Tigers drives.

44 FOOTBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 62, ROMEOVILLE 6

Plainfield N. offense explodes vs. Romeoville “[Tyler] Hoosman is a tough runner. He runs 82 yards on one play, and on the next series he is battling his way through the defensive line.”

By LARRY LINDHOLM

Shaw Media correspondent PLAINFIELD – Plainfield North’s offense was shut out a week earlier in a 12-0 loss to Oswego.

It was an entirely different story Friday night as the Tigers raced to a 49-0 halftime and crushed Southwest Prairie foe Romeoville, 62-6.

North (2-1, 2-1) scored on the second play of the game when Tyler Hoosman ran 82 yards. A blocked punt by Tim Donnahue set up the Tigers on the Romeoville 17, and Hoosman scored again from 6 yards out three plays later for a 14-0 start.

“Hoosman is a tough runner,” North coach Tim Kane said. “He runs 82 yards on one play, and on the next series he is battling his way through the defensive line.”

Hoosman was only getting warmed up as he finished off the next possession – a 64-yard drive after a teammate’s recovery of a Romeoville fumble – with a 5-yard run. Then he scored on a 32-yard scamper to make it 28-0, still in the first quarter. He played only in the first quarter and finished with 157 rushing yards.

North’s offense also scored on the next two possessions on short runs by Zach Nadle and Kevin Block. Shane

Plainfield North’s Tyler Hoosman breaks away from Romeoville’s Jorge Ocampo on Friday at Plainfield North High School. Hoosman played only in the first quarter and finished with 157 rushing yards as North defeated Romeoville, 62-6.

McGrail blocked a punt into the end zone that Donnahue recovered for a touchdown to account for the 49-0 halftime score.

“We challenged our defense all week long in practice to play with discipline

and effort,” Kane said. “Tonight, they – along with all the fans – were able to see what their hard work was able to accomplish.”

The Tigers’ Carlos Bagget, who rushed for 113 yards, tacked on touch-

down runs on 27 and 38 yards in the third quarter.

Jordan Nettles, who rushed for 77 yards, scored for Romeoville (0-3, 0-3) from 6 yards out with 35 seconds left in the game to avert a shutout.

“He is a competitor – he wants the ball,” Spartans coach Oliver Gibson said of Nettles. “He is physically strong – but along with that, he is mentally strong and ready to play every down.

“We have to fight the struggle to get better. We need all hands on deck every play of every game. We need to get tough quickly. We cannot wait. This is a tough conference. If there is adversity, we need to get mentally tough and expect to execute, not let things get us down.”

FOOTBALL: MINOOKA 42, PLAINFIELD EAST 10

Minooka strikes quickly, tops Plainfield East

By SCOTT EHLING

Shaw Media correspondent PLAINFIELD – If you plan to attend a Minooka football game, make sure you get to your seat on time, because if you are a little bit late, you could miss a score or two.

Minooka senior wideout and North Dakota State-commit Isaiah Hill returned the opening kickoff 51 yards Friday, and the big plays kept coming all night for the Indians in a 42-10 Southwest Prairie win over Plainfield East.

“I think that other than the big plays offensively, the last 12 quarters our defense has been really good,” Minooka coach Paul Forsythe said. “We have some bigger tests up the road here, so we’ll see where we are at.”

Minooka scored touchdowns on its first two possessions and added a blocked punt return for a score, all within the first five minutes.

“It was a good kick return, but I feel like I could have done better,” Hill said.

“We’re starting to click offensively.”

Paul Forsythe

Minooka football coach “We started out fast, and that is the way we wanted to stay the entire game.”

The Indians (2-1, 2-1) did most of their offensive damage through the air and were led by Hill (four receptions, 184 yards, two TDs) and running back Elijah Williams (four receptions, 54 yards, TD and 16 carries, 48 yards, TD).

“We noticed in film that their (Bengals’) defensive backs were playing 6 or 7 yards back from the line, so we wanted to get the ball underneath and make quick plays,” Hill said.

Minooka also had contributions from quarterback Johnny Carnagio (13 of 19 for 291 yards, two TDs and five carries, 18 yards, TD) and free safety Jake Loebbaka, who had a 14-yard blocked

punt return for a touchdown and a forced fumble on special teams.

East quarterback Matt Pratscher completed 11 of 24 passes for 68 yards.

Hill’s opening kickoff return gave Minooka great field position to start inside the Bengals’ 30. On fourth-and-6, Carnagio connected with Williams on a crossing route for a 24-yard touchdown for a quick, 7-0 lead.

“I give credit to my O-line, and I trust them, and I just try to score for my team,” Williams said. “That is how our offense runs. Our coaches get the ball to that guy, and we make a play.”

After a three-and-out by Plainfield East (2-1, 2-1), Minooka showed its quick-strike capability as Carnagio connected with Hill on an inside slant for a 50-yard touchdown that made it 14-0 with 8:07 left in the first quarter.

“We’re starting to click offensively,” Forsythe said. “We feel like getting Isaiah and Elijah out in space causes the defense to have problems. I feel like those guys can take advantage of match-

ups and make plays, and we saw that tonight.”

Things went from bad to worse for the Bengals when, after another threeand-out, Loebbaka blocked the ensuing punt and returned it 14 yards for a 21-0 lead, which is where it remained until the third quarter.

“We said this week that our special teams needed to be more special, and we cleaned some things up,” Forsythe said.

“Jake’s block was unbelievable.”

“You can’t win when you don’t play good special teams,” East coach Mike Romeli said. “We were down, 21-0, before we even got a chance to catch our breath. Give their coaches and players credit. They had a good game plan against us.”

Loebbaka’s strip and fumble recovery on the second-half kickoff again gave the Indians the ball on the Bengals’ 27. Carnagio’s subsequent 4-yard touchdown run made it 28-0. Then Carnagio found Hill for a 66-yard touchdown to make it 35-0 and put the game out of reach.

FOOTBALL: ST. RITA 32, PROVIDENCE 31

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent

Mark Coglianese

Providence football coach conversion kick gave the Celtics (1-2, 0-1) a 31-24 lead.

“Jared (Drake) and I worked very well, “ Planeta said. “On the touchdown pass in overtime, I just beat my man, and Jared put the ball right in my hands. We had a great connection all night.”

St. Rita (2-1, 1-0), answered with a controversial 9-yard scoring strike from Zylman to Tim Zaleski (six catches, 107 yards, three touchdowns). Sideline photographs showed Zaleski not having control when he came to the ground in the right-hand corner of the end zone. The touchdown stood, however, and the Mustangs opted for the two-point conversion and the win.

Jake Stefanski crashed in on a wingback reverse for the 32-31 victory.

“It’s a game we should have won,”

Providence coach Mark Coglianese said. “We did a lot of good things, but made a couple of crucial turnovers.

That’s how it can go in the Catholic Blue. Steven Meyers had two big interceptions. Jared Drake and Gaosh Williams had fine games, and Nico Planeta gave us a lot.”

Kevin O’Boyle’s fumble recovery at the Celtics’ 45-yard line led to Drake’s first touchdown pass from 6 yards out to Dakota Kotowski (four catches, 27 yards) for a 7-0 lead after one quarter.

Drake hit Warfield (20 carries, 110 yards, three catches, 20 yards, touchdown) for a 23-yard score to for a 14-0 lead with 7:41 left in the half.

St. Rita got on the board on Charlie Coughlin’s 18-yard interception to pull within 14-7 at the half.

With 9:01 left in the third quarter, Providence’s Ryan Minikel boomed a punt that Stefanski mishandled into the hands of Celtics defensive back Williams, who took the ball in for an apparent touchdown. The punt was ruled muffed, however, and a muffed punt cannot be returned. So the Celtics were given the ball at the St. Rita 12.

Drake then fired a 6-yard scoring strike to Lucas Weaver (two catches, 14 yards, three rushes, 22 yards), for a 21-7 lead with 8:40 left in the third quarter. Zylman hit Zaleski from 14 yards out five minutes later to pull the Mustangs within 21-14. Favela nailed a 27yard field goal for a 24-14 Celtics’ lead after three quarters. The Zylman-Zaleski combo struck from 36 yards out to make it 24-21 midway through the fourth quarter.

Celtics defensive back Meyers picked up his third and fourth interceptions of the season. Dylan Davalos, Warfield and O’Boyle had sacks.

“We did a lot of great things offensively, but we made a couple of crucial turnovers that cost us the game,” Drake said. “We just have to learn from this and get better.”

FOOTBALL: HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 35, LINCOLN-WAY EAST 30

H-F edges L-Way East in a battle supreme

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media correspondent FRANKFORT – Lincoln-Way East and Homewood-Flossmoor, two highly ranked football teams, gave a packed house the type of high-scoring, nerve-wracking battle Friday night usually reserved for the later rounds of the playoffs, with the Vikings prevailing, 35-30, in the SouthWest Suburban Conference opener for both teams.

Homewood-Flossmoor (3-0, 1-0) led the Griffins (2-1, 0-1), 35-28, with 3:08 to play when Vikings quarterback Bryant Wright took a safety that cut the lead to 35-30. H-F was forced into that position because its punter, Tyler DeMartra, who also plays receiver, suffered a horrific lower leg injury late in the first half while trying to catch a pass. He was taken off the field by ambulance.

The Griffins took advantage of an H-F penalty on the free kick after the safety and started at the Vikings’ 45yard line. East moved it to the 18 in four plays. Senior quarterback Max Shafer’s throw was just out of the

“We give them a lot of credit and take our hats off to them. They made one or two more plays than we did, and there’s your result.

At halftime, we went back to our base [defense] and adjusted a couple of little things that, fortunately, made a difference.”

Rob Zvonar

Lincoln-Way East football coach reach of a diving Ken Anderson in the end zone on third down. Shafer’s fourth-down pass attempt was intercepted by Dylan Duplessis with less than 1:30 remaining.

The teams traded scores in a 34-point first quarter that East led, 21-13, thanks to scoring strikes from its other quarterback, senior Jake Arthur. He completed touchdown passes of 28 yards and 41 yards to receiver Jeremy Nelson. A Brendan Morrissey 2-yard run accounted for the Griffins’ other score of the quarter. H-F’s Wright threw touchdown passes of 40 and 44 yards to receiver Tyrice Richie to account for its scores in the quarter.

Wright tied the game in the second quarter with a 5-yard touchdown run

followed by a two-point conversion pass to Richie. A 78-yard touchdown run by running back Herbert Hughes gave the Vikings a 28-21 halftime lead.

“We certainly needed to do something, because it was a point a minute for their offense in the first half,” East coach Rob Zvonar said of adjustments the Griffins made at halftime to slow down the Vikings.

“They are awfully impressive.

They outschemed us with some things we hadn’t seen from them, and they executed very well. We give them a lot of credit and take our hats off to them. They made one or two more plays than we did, and there’s your result. At halftime, we went back to our base [defense] and adjusted a couple of

little things that, fortunately, made a difference.”

The Griffins tied the score at 28-all with 5:12 to play in the third quarter on a 3-yard-run by running back Ryan Scianna. A 35-yard touchdown pass from Wright to Richie with 6:20 left in the fourth quarter gave the Vikings the lead for good.

Arthur finished the game completing 14 of 19 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns. Shafer finished 12 of 19 passes for 91 yards. H-F’s Wright completed 14 of 22 passes for 263 yards.

Richie caught 10 for 224 yards.

“I thought the offense played tremendous all night,” Zvonar said. “I know they’re going to feel like they stalled a few times; but I think when you put up that many points, you should win the football game. There were a lot of good things, and there are a lot of things we need to get fixed.”

Arthur agreed.

“We came out strong,” he said. “Our team fought and didn’t give up. We’ll get back to it. We have to worry about Bolingbrook this week. We’re going to learn from this loss. We’ll keep our heads up and give it our best.”

CHICAGO – Providence held a 24-21 lead Friday night over sister Augustinian school St. Rita in the teams’ Chicago Catholic Blue opener, when Celtics quarterback Jared Drake broke loose for an apparent 36-yard touchdown run with 2½ minutes remaining.

Not so fast. The officiating crew said Drake was down at the St. Rita 1-yard line. A mixup on the handoff between Drake and tailback Richie Warfield on the next play resulted in a fumble that St. Rita recovered on its 5.

St. Rita quarterback Jake Zylman (11 of 28, 196 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions) drove the Mustangs to within the field-goal range of Mottl Gavin. With 14 seconds left, Gavin’s game-tying field goal just inside the right upright tied the game, 24-24, and sent it into overtime. The Mustangs eventually prevailed, 32-31.

In overtime, Drake (13 of 21, 169 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, 15 rushes, 104 yards), hit Nico Planeta (four catches, 107 yards) from 18 yards out and Eduardo Favela’s fourth

“It’s a game we should have won. We did a lot of good things, but made a couple of crucial turnovers. That’s how it can go in the Catholic Blue. ”

46 CROSS COUNTRY

Diers first, Taylor second at JT Central Invite

BY CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Having competing for Lincoln-Way Central for three years, Jenna Diers still is getting used to being a Lincoln-Way West athlete during her final season.

But the change in setting hasn’t affected the senior cross country runner’s performance, as she demonstrated in Saturday’s Joliet Central Invitational at Channahon Community Park.

Diers led for much of the girls race, then staged a dramatic pass of Oswego’s Grace Pagone as they were heading toward the chute to claim first place.

The Warriors newcomer, who qualified for state on Knights teams last year and in 2013, finished with a winning time of 18:46 to edge Pagone by a second.

“Coming around the first corner out of the trees, she started to out-kick me, but I believed in myself and knew that I could get her,” Diers said. “I’m an 800-meter runner who went to the Junior Olympics, so I know that I have more speed than most typical cross country runners.

“I had my coach, Matt Bowden, my freshman year, so that made the transition a lot easier. But it was hard since Madison Smith was my best friend since we were the only freshmen on Central’s varsity team. It was really hard to leave her and all of my other friends there.”

Also finishing in the top 10 were Joliet West’s Maddie Blaauw (fourth, 19:06), Plainfield South’s Greta Carlberg (fifth, 19:32) and Alexis Grigg (sixth, 19:34) and Lincoln-Way East’s Jenna Couwenhoven (ninth, 19:39).

Blaauw is a junior who qualified for state on a Tigers squad in 2014 and was the top individual qualifier a year ago at the sectional.

“I’m pretty happy with how I competed today, even though it was really muddy,” Blaauw said. “Things have been going pretty well. I have some pretty big goals, so I’m hoping that I can PR a lot. One of my goals is to get downstate again. I put in a lot of work in the summer, so I’m pretty excited to see where the season goes.”

South’s Carlberg and Grigg are seniors who both qualified individually last year, while Grigg also went to state in her freshman and sophomore

seasons.

Other top finishers were Lincoln-Way East’s Olivia Jacobs (13th, 20:19), Lincoln-Way West’s Maddie Feehan (16th, 20:30) and Plainfield South’s Kelsey Rice (23rd, 21:03).

Neuqua Valley beat Oswego, 5358, for the girls title, while Plainfield South (92) was third, Lincoln-Way East (115) took fourth, and Lincoln-Way West (129) placed sixth.

Boys competition

Oswego’s Bennett Peterson was looking forward to another battle with Lincoln-Way West’s Evan Mitchell in the boys competition, but the Warriors’ returning all-stater was taking the ACT, so Peterson dominated and won with a time of 15:59.

That opened the door for Warriors junior Ryan Taylor to shine, and he did by finishing second in 16:15. Taylor, who qualified for state in track and field in the 3,200 along with Mitchell last spring, hopes to accompany him to Peoria for this year’s state finals.

“This performance is really going to help me,” Taylor said. “I had tendinitis in my calves at our first meet, so being able to come in second in this talented

meet is a confidence-booster, and I’m ready to see what comes in the future.

When Evan’s running, I make sure he’s in my sights so that I’m not too far off of him, since he’s kind of my basis to see how I’m doing – but I couldn’t do that today. I had to lead the team, and it was a great carry for me.”

Oswego beat Plainfield South, 37-47, for the title in the boys race.

Leading the way for Plainfield South was Jake Willison, who placed third in 16:20. Christian Knowlton (sixth, 16:39), Timmy Wade (seventh, 16:50), Stephen Merriweather (10th, 16:53) and Brenden Wengler (21st, 17:23) made up the top five for the Cougars.

“The young guys are definitely stepping up since we don’t have many seniors,” Willison said. “But we’re still a strong team. It was a good race with some hard competition, and this course is always fun when it’s muddy.

The goal is always to get down to state with the team, so it’s about working together and pushing other guys forward.”

The hosts took sixth with 150 points.

Pacing the Steelmen were Oscar Tejeda (ninth, 16:52) and Nick Rios (24th, 17:43).

FOOTBALL: OSWEGO EAST 71, JOLIET CENTRAL 0

By KRISTIN SHARP

ksharp@shawmedia.com

Tyson LeBlanc

Oswego East football coach ented team and we knew that,” Central coach Brett Boyter said of the Wolves. “We challenged our guys to rise up. We’ll look at film and see if we’re making mistakes or if they’re just that much better than us, but we knew the quality of opponent we were going to play here. We just didn’t get much going our way in the first half.”

East quarterback Jaylon Banks (9 for 16, 164 yards, four TDs) threw four touchdown passes before halftime, connecting with Ivory Kelly-Martin for a 20-yard score on the opening drive before locking in on Stephon Harris for a 12-yard touchdown. Banks found Kelly-Martin for a 23-yard score to put the Wolves up, 28-0, and then went back to Harris for the next touchdown from 41 yards out.

East intercepted Central quar-

terback Zach Wisneski twice, which set up a pair of 7-yard touchdown runs by Kelly-Martin (nine carries, 98 yards). Kelly-Martin added three catches for 81 yards.

He racked up 179 yards of offense for four touchdowns.

With East holding a 58-0 halftime lead, Kelly-Martin and most of the Wolves starters did not play in the second half for the second straight week.

“Our offense has been popping the last few weeks, and our O-line has been blocking well – no complaining from me,” Kelly-Martin said. “We want to get off strong, and we want to score first to put that intimidation into the other team. When we get that momentum going, it gives us that extra push.”

Noah Jackson made a big sack on a third-and-long for East, Devin Aguilar had the first interception of the game at the Steelmen’s 7, and Jackson O’Reilly snagged the second interception with 2:36 to play in the first half.

Special teams even added to the highlight reel when Colin O’Reilly got his hands on a punt and Jackson O’Reilly picked up the fumbled ball and returned it for another Wolves score.

FOOTBALL: NO. 10 (D-III) UW-PLATTEVILLE 26, NO. 14 (NAIA) U. OF ST. FRANCIS 7

PLATTEVILLE, Wis. – In a matchup of nationally ranked football teams, NCAA Division III No. 10 University of Wisconsin-Platteville defeated NAIA No. 14 University of St. Francis, 26-7, Saturday at Pioneer Stadium.

With its second straight loss to open the season, USF fell to 0-2 for the first time since 2010, while UW-Platteville improved to 2-0. Saturday’s game marked the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

UW-Platteville scored a touchdown in each quarter and kept the Saints off the scoreboard until late in the contest. A long punt return set up the Pioneers’ first score.

One play after Dillon Villhauer

returned a punt 78 yards to the USF 6-yard line, Tom Kelly found Dan Arnold in the end zone for the touchdown.

Kelly connected with Seth Kaufman on a 17-yard scoring strike to cap a 15-play, 80-yard drive midway through the second quarter. Despite holding an 8:34 advantage in time of possession and a 133-128 edge in total yards in the first two quarters, USF went into the locker room down, 13-0, at halftime.

Kelly and Arnold connected for their second touchdown completion of the game late in the third quarter, this time from 11 yards out. With just more than three minutes left in the contest, Kelly tossed his fourth TD strike of the game on an 11-yard completion to

Patrick Sheehan.

USF scored its lone touchdown with 1:26 left to play when Michael Johnson burst into the end zone on a 2-yard run. Three plays earlier, quarterback Don Butkus hit Brandon Ruffin down the sideline for a 42-yard gain.

Kelly finished the day 17-for34 for 176 yards and four touchdowns with one interception. Kyle Whitman rushed for 91 yards on 30 carries. Butkus was 25-of-49 for 246 yards. He was picked off twice and sacked twice. Ruffin logged 84 yards on six catches. Lexus Jackson caught eight passes for 73 yards.

Croft finished with four receptions for 135 yards, and Gerardy grabbed four for 94 yards.

West (3-0) finished with 395 total yards, with 249 coming in the air.

Justin LaBuhn, who led the rushing attack with 91 yards in 14 carries, scored on a 37yard run to open the scoring. Jake Price then chipped in a 45-yard interception return to increase the Warriors’ lead to 14-0 late in the first quarter.

Defensively, Blake Evans and Trey Telez made six solo tackles each, and Danny Allen had five solos. In addition to Price, Trevor McArdle had an interception.

HIGHLIGHTS

Bolingbrook 55, Stagg 7: Bolingbrook (2-1, 1-0), coming off an overtime escape in Week 2 at Bishop McNamara, unleashed a powerful offensive attack to kick off SouthWest Suburban play.

Anthony Vespo completed 10 of 13 passes for 170 yards and three touchdowns for the Raiders, who led, 42-7, at halftime. Jeremiah Lebron rushed for 93 yards in six carries and scored three times, and I’Shawn Stewart caught four passes for 69 yards and a touchdown.

OSWEGO – The Oswego East football team knows what it’s like to be on Joliet Central’s sideline.

In their 11-year history, the Wolves have had two winning seasons and too many shutout losses to count on two hands. Oswego East came into Friday’s Week 3 game with Joliet Central hungry, scoring on its first two possessions before turning two interceptions and a blocked punt into three more touchdowns.

The Wolves (3-0) built a 58-0 halftime lead over the Steelmen (03) and added one score in the third quarter and one in the fourth for a school-record 71 points, while the defense preserved the shutout for a 71-0 final.

“We talked about scoring every time we had the ball – we punted once – and that’s one of our main goals,” East coach Tyson LeBlanc said. “The thing we’re focusing on is that it’s a long season. It’s only going to get tougher, and there are quality teams still left on our schedule.”

Central was held to 17 total yards of offense in the first half.

“Obviously, they’re a very tal-

HOUSTON – John Lackey’s solid start wasn’t enough for a win.

Rookie Alex Bregman homered, Collin McHugh combined with his bullpen on a two-hitter and the Houston Astros beat the Cubs, 2-1, Saturday.

Lackey (9-8) gave up two runs, four hits and three walks in six innings for the NL Central leaders, who are a big league-best 9051. He had been 2-0 in his last four starts.

“I definitely haven’t had much luck with the wins and losses this year,” Lackey said.

After the game, the 37-year-old right-hander refused to respond to questions about his shoulder, which prevented him from pitching for the Cubs between Aug. 14 and Sept. 4.

“Are you serious?” Lackey said. “I’ve been pitching for 15 years. There is no such thing as not feeling anything. I haven’t not felt anything probably since the

90s.”

Cubs batters struggled, striking out 12 times.

“We need to move the baseball and put runners in scoring position, or just move the baseball in general,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “Their pitchers were really good today.”

Bregman put the Astros ahead with an opposite-field home run to right-center against Lackey in a two-run third.

“Decent pitch and good hit by the kid,” Lackey said.

McHugh (10-10) won his third straight decision, allowing one run and two hits in five innings.

Chris Devenski, Will Harris, Luke Gregerson and Ken Giles combined for hitless relief.

Ken Giles survived a shaky ninth to earn his 10th save. He walked Anthony Rizzo leading off, and pinch-runner Matt Szczur advanced on a wild pitch. Jorge Soler struck out and Szczur crossed to third on Miguel Montero’s groundout. Giles then struck out Willson Contreras.

ROYALS 6, WHITE SOX 6

Royals hold off White Sox, remain 4 back of wild card The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Whit Merrifield hit a go-ahead two-run double in a three-run seventh inning and the Kansas City Royals held on for a 6-5 victory over the White Sox on Saturday night.

Royals closer Wade Davis gave up a single to Tyler Saladino and a double to Adam Eaton to lead off the ninth before Melky Cabrera’s infield single cut the deficit to one.

With the tying run on third and one out, Davis struck out Jose Abreu and Justin Morneau for his 23rd save as the Royals remained four games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card.

Eric Hosmer hit a two-run homer in the first and Alex Gordon a solo shot in the fourth off White Sox starter James Shields.

The struggling righty exited after six innings leading 4-3 before the

Sox’s bullpen faltered.

Chris Beck (2-2) was charged with three runs while giving up two hits and a walk and getting one out.

Davis was the last of five relievers after Edinson Volquez, who allowed four runs and nine hits over five innings.

Kevin McCarthy (1-0) got the last out of the sixth and Joakim Soria struck out two in a perfect eighth.

Shields, who helped the Royals reach the 2014 World Series, allowed three runs and four hits.

He avoided his 18th loss despite moving into the major league lead with 37 home runs allowed.

Morneau doubled twice and drove in a run in a two-run fifth as the Sox went ahead, 4-3.

Abreu drove in his 90th run and Saladino went 3 for 4 to leave him 9 for 12 in the past three games.

“It was a fun year. We didn’t accomplish the goal that we set out to. It was a sudden end, but that’s the way the game goes.”

The Joliet Slammers’ Charlie White watches his base hit against the Evansville Otters in Game 4 of the playoff series Saturday at Silver Cross Field in Joliet. playing with a hamstring injury, singled home Charlie White. An inning later, Mike Garza (3 for 5) and Melvin Rodriguez scored to make it 8-3.

The Slammers, who competed in their first league playoffs since 2011, pulled to within 8-5 with two more runs in the seventh. Bell doubled in Alfredo

Rodriguez (2 for 5) before Garza singled in Bell.

“It was a fun year,” Alfredo Rodriguez said. “We didn’t accomplish the goal that we set out to. It was a sudden end, but that’s the way the game goes.

We had guys who battled until the end, and this game was kind of an example

of the season. We didn’t quit, and we can hold our heads high on that. A lot of credit to Evansville. They came out and gave us a tough series.”

But Ken Frosch and Randy McCurry each pitched at least an inning of scoreless relief, with the latter getting the save, to wrap up the Otters’ victory.

Jake Gronsky also went 2 for 5, and Phil Bates added an RBI for the Slammers, while Rolando Gomez went 3 for 5 with two RBIs for Evansville.

“This was the exactly the type of team that we are,” Bell said. “We don’t give up and keep fighting until the end.

Even if it looked like we would be out of it, we battled because we had a good, close-knit group of guys, and we really came together throughout this year.

I hope that’s what the fans take from this, and I hope they were proud to watch us fight all year.”

JOLIET – After allowing eight runs in the second inning to fall behind Evansville, 8-0, on Saturday, the Joliet Slammers did what they’ve been doing all season.

Despite facing a huge deficit in their elimination game of their Frontier League divisional series, manager Jeff Isom’s squad didn’t toss in the towel, but instead continued to fight back, gradually making a contest of it with the Otters.

But Joliet could get no closer than three runs back, and Evansville used its second-inning outburst to help it claim an 8-5 victory in Game 4 of the series at Silver Cross Field.

As a result, the league’s championship series will feature two squads that didn’t capture divisional titles.

River City edged Southern Illinois, 3-2, in Marion to knock off the team with the best overall record. The bestof-five series begins on Tuesday in Evansville.

“It’s kind of been our M.O. as a team,” Isom said. “We try to keep it close, or we get a little bit behind, but we have enough offense that we never feel like we’re out of games. Unfortunately, we gave up eight in the second, but it was early enough that we could keep fighting back. We had a few opportunities, and they made a couple of key double plays.

“Our guys were inspired throughout the game. They were focused, and they gave good at-bats. I told the guys before the game that, win or lose, as long as we go out and give our best effort tonight, that I’ll be happy with the way that they play – and they played hard.”

Evansville, which is advancing to the finals for the first time since 2006, put together its decisive inning after two men had been retired. The big blow was a grand slam by Chris Breen (3 for 4, four RBIs) to complete the scoring in the second inning.

With Chris Rice knocked out of the contest after only 12⁄3 innings, in which he allowed six earned runs on just three hits, Zach Hirsch relieved him and gave up Breen’s homer.

But in the final seven innings, Hirsch – who had not been used for more than 21⁄3 innings in a game – didn’t allow any more runs helped keep the Slammers in the contest.

Meanwhile, Preston Olson limited Joliet through six innings, allowing three runs, two of which were earned, on eights while striking out five to collect the victory.

CHAMPAIGN – North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky threw for 265 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two more scores Saturday to lead the Tar Heels to a 48-23 win at Illinois.

Trubisky was coming off a workmanlike performance a week earlier against Georgia that wasn’t enough to deliver a win.

On Saturday, he was 19-24 passing and didn’t throw an interception. And he carried the ball nine times for 42 yards.

Early on, Trubisky had to lead the Tar Heels (1-1) from behind.

Illinois (1-1) went up 7-0 on the opening drive while North Carolina’s offense started slow.

Trubisky jump-started the attack, rushing for two short touchdowns by the end of the first quarter and giving UNC a 17-14 lead it never gave up.

The Tar Heels held Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt to 127 yards and

two touchdowns on 17-35 passing.

THE TAKEAWAY

NORTH CAROLINA: Trubisky looked like a quarterback who can take North Carolina places, and while he was sacked twice his line otherwise protected him against an Illinois defensive line that punished Murray State in its opener. But before a late 62-yard touchdown when the game was all but decided, North Carolina struggled to get tailback Elijah Hood going. Aside from that TD he finished with 26 yards on 14 carries. UNC will need him when ACC play starts Sept.

24.

ILLINOIS: A week after a 52-3 win over Murray State gave the beginning of Lovie Smith’s tenure a feelgood start, the new Illinois coach has a much better idea of what he needs to fix. The Illini ran the ball well at times and the defense limited the Tar Heels’ run game. But 13 penalties cost Illinois 99 yards. And North Carolina’s speed exposed Illinois’ secondary.

SOUTH FLORIDA 48, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 17

South Florida routs NIU The ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. – Quinton Flowers threw for 350 yards and four touchdowns to lead South Florida to a 48-17 rout of Northern Illinois on Saturday night.

With two-time American Athletic Conference rushing leader Marlon Mack sitting out after spending the past week in the concussion protocol, Flowers accounted for 403 of his team’s 658 yards total offense while tossing TD passes of 73 yards to Ryeshene Bronson, 26 yards to Rodney Adams, 13 yards to D’Ernest Johnson and 6 yards to Chris Barr.

The dual-threat quarterback also rushed for 53 yards on 11 carries, helping the Bulls (2-0) – preseason favorites to win the American’s East Division – remain unbeaten through two games for the first time in four seasons under coach Willie Taggart.

Northern Illinois quarterback Drew Hare was carted off the field with an apparent left leg injury midway through the third quarter. The redshirt senior missed the last five games of 2015 with a right Achilles

injury.

Backup Ryan Graham threw an 11-yard TD pass to Aregeros Turner, who also scored on a 4 run for the Huskies, who lost their season opener at Wyoming 40-34 in triple overtime.

THE TAKEAWAY

Northern Illinois: The Huskies have played in six straight Mid-American Conference championships games and also appeared in a league-record eight consecutive bowl games, which is to say the most important part of their season is still ahead of them.

The 0-2 start will mean little if NIU can rebound – especially defensively – to make another strong run in conference play.

South Florida: Taggart has his team playing with confidence and swagger. The Bulls have won nine of 11 games dating to last season, improving to 2-0 for the first time since 2012, when they went on lose nine of 10 and finish 3-9. The last time USF won three straight to begin a season was 2011, when it dropped seven of eight following a 4-0 start to wind up 5-7.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

No. 5 Michigan routs Central Fla.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Wilton Speight faced a defense determined to stop the run.

Instead of being stubborn and sticking with a ground game, No. 5 Michigan asked Speight to put the ball in the air a lot and it worked out well.

Speight threw four touchdown passes, two to Jake Butt and two to Amara Darboh, to help the Wolverines rout the Knights, 51-14, Saturday.

“They were bringing a lot of people,” Speight said after completing 25 of 37 passes for 312 yards in his second career start. “We knew we were going to run play action.”

The Wolverines (2-0) have won their first two games by a combined total of 97 points.

No. 10 Wisconsin stuffs Akron

MADISON, Wis. – Corey Clement ran for two scores before leaving with an ankle injury, Jazz Peavy had two touchdown catches and No. 10 Wisconsin stuffed Akron’s spread offense in a 54-10 win on Saturday.

The Badgers (2-0) didn’t slack off in their 2016 debut at Camp Randall Stadium, a week after outmuscling SEC power LSU 16-14 in the season opener.

Bart Houston threw for 231 yards, showing chemistry with Peavy against the porous Zips (1-1). Peavy finished with seven catches for 100 yards.

Wisconsin’s defense had a safety, and the secondary accounted for two second-quarter turnovers. The Badgers led, 30-10, at halftime.

Ohio State beats Tulsa

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State overcame a sluggish offensive start, a lightning delay and a driving rainstorm in the second half to beat Tulsa,

Cincinnati overcomes Purdue

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Tommy Tuberville was a 3-year-old the last time Cincinnati won a road game against a Big Ten Conference opponent, defeating Indiana in 1957 in Bloomington.

Tuberville, who will celebrate his 62nd birthday on Sept. 18, got an early present Saturday when the Bearcats dominated Purdue, 38-20, in Ross-Ade Stadium.

Quarterback Hayden Moore passed for three touchdowns and ran for two more, and linebacker Mike Tyson intercepted Purdue’s David Blough three times, laying the foundation for a relatively easy victory.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH BEND, Ind. – DeShone Kizer threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, Josh Adams rushed for 106 yards and Notre Dame’s defense rebounded from a disappointing performance a week ago to help the 18th-ranked Fighting Irish beat Nevada 39-10 on Saturday.

After being held scoreless in the first quarter by Nevada (1-1), the Irish (1-1) took control with a 25-point second quarter – the most points in the quarter for Notre Dame since scoring 28 points against Pittsburgh in Charlie Weis’ debut as coach in 2005.

Kizer was 15 of 18 for 156 yards with one interception and Equanimeous St. Brown led Irish receivers with six catches for 85 yards with Torii Hunter Jr. out with a concussion sustained against Texas.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Kizer showed more patience looking for receivers.

“The other thing is he’s taking

what’s available to him instead of trying to do too much,” Kelly said.

Kizer said it was good to get a win after losing at Texas and consecutive losses to end last season.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve won,” he said. “It was definitely a good feeling to get back out there and see what it feels like to get out and win.”

Kelly said stopping the Wolf Pack on fourth-and-1 at the Notre Dame 17 on its first possession gave the defense a boost.

“We needed some confidence, so that fourth down was definitely a confidence-builder for our defense. I think that gave us some momentum going into the next couple of drives,” he said.

Nevada coach Brian Polian, a former Notre Dame assistant under Weis, said he had no doubt about going for it on fourth down.

“Because field goals were not going to keep us in this game,” he said.

Both teams struggled with mental errors.

Hoosiers get past Ball State

BLOOMINGTON – Richard Lagow threw three touchdown passes in his home debut, and Indiana’s defense forced three more turnovers as the Hoosiers held off Ball State’s frantic fourth-quarter flurry for a 30-20 victory Saturday.

Lagow, a junior college transfer, was 17 of 28 for 266 yards with no interceptions as Indiana (2-0) snapped a three-game losing streak in the series. The Hoosiers have won four of their last five, this one by flipping the script.

Instead of following Devine Redding’s lead on the ground, Indiana beat the Cardinals (1-1) through the air.

Gophers rout Indiana State

MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota was looking for a quick start on Saturday against Indiana State. Mitch Leidner and Drew Wolitarsky made sure that’s exactly what the Gophers got.

Leidner completed 20 of 30 passes for 295 yards and four touchdowns on Saturday as Minnesota rolled to 592 total yards in a 58-28 win over Indiana State.

EVANSTON – Sean Slattery connected on a 33-yard field goal as time expired to give Illinois State a 9-7 upset of Northwestern on Saturday.

Slattery had missed a field goal and an extra point earlier.

Jake Kolbe completed 30 of his 41 passes for 287 yards and two interceptions, Anthony Warrum had nine receptions for 116 yards and George Moreira had 57 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown for Illinois State (2-0).

Clayton Thorson was 17 of 41 for 191 yards for Northwestern, which fell to 0-2.

Justin Jackson had 39 yards on 11 carries for the Wildcats before leaving the game early in the fourth quarter with a leg injury.

48-3, on Saturday night.

After piling up a school-record 776 yards of offense last week against Bowling Green, Ohio State (2-0) didn’t score an offensive touchdown against Tulsa until quarterback J.T. Barrett ran in from 11 yards with 9:42 left in the third quarter.

Tailback Mike Weber, Barrett and H-back Curtis Samuel added scoring runs later in the second half to put the game out of reach.

Ohio State’s defense stepped up in the first half as its offense floundered.

The Buckeyes intercepted four of quarterback Dane Evans’ passes, including pick-sixes by safety Malik Hooker and cornerback Marshon Lattimore late in the first half.

WR White questionable for Sunday against Texas

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – Bears receiver Kevin White was limited in Friday’s practice with a hamstring injury and is questionable for Sunday’s season opener in Houston. It will be White’s NFL regular-season debut, if he can play.

“I think everybody’s different.

I think some people deal with it different than others,” coach John Fox said about how the injury could affect White.

“Obviously, that’s a muscle group that’s important, especially in top-end running. We’ll kind of evaluate that as we get closer. We don’t have to make those decisions until an hour and a half before kickoff, and we probably won’t.”

Fox said the fact that White missed his entire rookie year “doesn’t have any effect now whether he’s ready this week or not.”

NFL teams no longer are using the “probable” designation in injury reports, so the following Bears all are questionable for Sunday: guard Kyle Long (shoulder), defensive backs Kyle Fuller (knee), Deon Bush (hamstring) and Bryce Callahan (groin), receiver Deonte Thompson (knee/ankle), defensive lineman Cornelius Washington (ankle/knee), fullback Paul Lasike (wrist) and receiver Josh Bellamy

(shoulder), who was added to the injury list Friday.

The Bears will announce their inactive players at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, which is when we’ll learn which of the questionable starters among White, Long and Fuller will be ready to go.

Captains named: The Bears’ players voted for five captains for the 2016 season – quarterback Jay Cutler and receiver Alshon Jeffery on offense, linebackers Pernell McPhee and Danny Trevathan on defense and Sherrick McManis on special teams. Fox will have a rotating sixth captain for the coin toss each week.

McPhee got the honor from his teammates despite the fact he’s starting the season on the physically unable-to-perform list.

“You don’t see them, but they’re in there working,” Fox said. “They’re in the meetings. They’re around the football team a lot more than just on the practice field.”

In his first year with the Bears, Trevathan – the team’s most important free-agent signing – is the other captain for the defense.

“I feel honored to be a captain,” Trevathan said. “It doesn’t stop there, though. I know it comes from work and pushing and trying to push myself to be great along with these guys. I’m honored and I’m excited to get started.”

Local teachers Michelle Anderson and Sarah Steinke spent four days on board the exploration vessel Nautilus during the recent Nautilus Ambassadors Program, made possible by CITGO Petroleum Corporation and the Ocean Exploration Trust.

Experiencing science as it happens

Two local teachers study seafloor along with their students

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

Last fall when Michelle Anderson attended a STEM educators workshop, she learned about an ocean exploration program for teachers.

“I jokingly told my colleague, ‘I want to do that, but I’m sure there’s no way that will ever happen,” said Anderson, a seventh-grade science teacher at Old Quarry Middle School in Lemont.

From Aug. 14 to 18, Anderson, along with Lockport Township High School chemistry teacher Sarah Steinke and five other educators, did just that, thanks to CITGO and the Ocean Exploration Trust Partnership’s Nautilus Ambassadors Program.

During that time on the eastern

Pacific Ocean, the teachers shadowed the scientists aboard the Nautilus and helped map the seafloor and collect oceanographic data. They also shared their experiences through live interactions using “ship-to-shore communications tools,” according to a news release from CITGO. Anderson was even able to broadcast to her students on that first day, she said. No special training was needed to participate, Steinke said.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was outside the realm of anything I’ve experienced in my life,” Steinke said. “I just went in very open-minded and took the experience as it was.”

In addition to the teachers, a 31-member science team and 17 crew members were aboard the 64-meter research vessel, Steinke said. The crew members worked in shifts of four hours on and eight hours off, and were willing to explain the work as it unfolded.

“The captain even welcomed us onto the bridge,” Steinke said.

During those four days, Steinke said they witnessed ROV (remotely operated

According to a news release from CITGO, Robert Ballard founded the Ocean Exploration Trust in 2008. The goal is to further STEM education and technological innovation while exploring the ocean and seeking out new discoveries in the fields of geology, biology, maritime history and archaeology. For information, visit www.nautiluslive.org. vehicles) test drives where she saw octopuses and jellyfish, and shared in the excitement of finding what appeared to be a new species.

“It was incredible to see science just happen,” Steinke said.

She and the other teachers also assembled an OpenROV, which is about the size of a shoe box and is intended for use by the average person.

“It came with step-by-step instructions so it’s something you could do at home,” Steinke said. “But it was a little challenging soldering pieces with the boat rocking.”

A teacher for 19 years, Anderson was stunned at the knowledge she acquired during those four days on the Nautilus.

“Honestly, I’m a biology nut and I did not know 90 percent of the ocean floor is not mapped,” Anderson said. “Part of it is money and part of it is resources, but with the Nautilus vessel and the ROV technology, we could videotape and collect samples and be able to do things instantaneously with other researchers around the world even though they are not on that dive.”

Both Anderson and Steinke plan to use these experiences to enrich their students. Steinke, who’s taught at Lockport Township High School for 11 years, hopes oceanography enters students’ minds when they consider possible STEM careers. Steinke also wants them to realize that instruction is not confined to the classroom.

Anderson wants to return and is eyeing a three-week summer fellowship, but she has two good reasons why she might stay home.

“I have 7-year-old twins,” Anderson said.

Man’s nonstop work schedule leaves little time for wife Dear Abby: I am a stay-at-home mom who doesn’t work. My husband wants me at home, and I’m OK with that, but the problem is, he is now working two jobs and I never see him.

When he gets home, he’s so exhausted he can’t keep his eyes open.

He sleeps only four hours a night. I’m afraid he will crash and burn from overwork and lack of sleep. I also miss him and want to be with him. With no time together, I feel like I’m losing him.

How can I make this work? I don’t want to put pressure on him or make him feel bad, but I need him. I told him I’d get a part-time job, but he said he works for the both of us and that was the end of that conversation. I don’t want to lose my marriage over this. Do you have any advice that might help?

– Losing Him In Tennessee

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Losing Him: I don’t blame you for being concerned. What your husband is doing isn’t healthy for him, for you or for your marriage. It’s time to discuss this with him more fully than it appears you have been able to so far.

He seems to be old-fashioned in his views about marriage. Generations ago, husbands were expected to be the sole provider, but economic reality has put an end to that. Today, both spouses work, primarily because they need to.

It may take mediation along with some input from his doctor to make your husband face reality, but he needs to understand you are worried

NEIGHBOR

sick about him, you’re not happy with things as they are and you are starting your job search.

Dear Abby: I have been a widow for almost a year. I have met someone I really like, and we have started to date.

My roommate, “Eva,” encouraged me to meet this man (I’ll call him Warren) and get to know him if it would make me happy, so I did. Warren and I have a lot in common. We can talk to each other for hours.

Eva now tells me she doesn’t like having Warren at the house because it “reminds her of how alone and single” she is. She says she doesn’t want him here even if she isn’t home. This is causing problems because my work schedule makes it easier to have him over for coffee so we can talk before I leave for work, or on days off when she’s at work and I’m at home.

Volunteer.

When I offer to set Eva up on dates, she refuses. She told me she “hates” men, and all of them are nothing but liars and cheaters. Please help. I want to help my friend and also to have a good relationship with Warren. I feel happiest when we’re together, but I don’t want to lose my friend over this.

– Torn In Two Out West Dear Torn: Because of Eva’s aversion to men, continuing to try fixing her up isn’t going to work. You didn’t mention whose name is on the lease, but if it’s Eva’s – and she’s not comfortable with Warren coming to visit – consider moving to a place of your own or in with a roommate who’s not jealous.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Restrain your emotions until you feel it’s safe to share them. If you focus on personal growth and being and doing

your very best, favorable change will take place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Stay in touch with the people you feel can make a difference in your life and to your future. Avoid any sort of action that might lead to physical injury or mishap. Listen to good advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – An opportunity

will develop if you form a partnership with someone who has the skills to complement what you do best. Don’t hesitate to bring about change.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If you are sincere and loyal, people who share your interests and concerns will help you. Walk away from anyone who puts up a fuss or makes selfish demands.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let the chaos going on around you make you think that you cannot accomplish your goals. If you push forward, you will reap the rewards you are looking for and deserve.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Take on a challenge that allows you to show off your skills and intel-

ligence, and prove that you’ve got what it takes to be a leader. Helping those less fortunate will be rewarding.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Strive to make a better life for you and your loved ones. Take action and make things happen rather than talk and procrastinate. Actions will speak louder than words.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Give those you love free rein to do as they please. Put your time to good use by accomplishing your goals instead of trying to control those around you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You’ll make a difference to those you encounter today. Your encouragement, help and ability to make things happen will be impressive. Romance is encouraged.

Nicotine-delivery methods can help Dear Dr K: I’ve tried to quit smoking on my own, but it never lasts. Could medications help? How do they work?

Dear reader: Medicines can help, and they have improved “quit rates.” Although smoking is a particularly hard habit to break, you can do it. The proof: There are more ex-smokers in the United States today than there are smokers.

Cigarette smoke contains many different substances that damage the tissues of the body and increase the risk of cancer. But those damaging substances are not what make you addicted to cigarettes.

Nicotine, one of the many dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes, is what makes you addicted. It doesn’t damage your tissues; it just makes you want to smoke. Each hit of nicotine produces pleasure. But as nicotine leaves the body, you begin to experience uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, and this prompts you to reach for another cigarette.

One type of quit-smoking medication is called nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).

It delivers a low dose of nicotine into your bloodstream to ease or erase withdrawal symptoms. You start the nicotine replacement on the day you stop smoking. Instead of getting the nicotine your body continues to need from cigarettes, you get it from the replacement treatment. As your withdrawal symptoms decrease, you lower your dose, then gradually wean yourself off all nicotine, including NRT. There are several forms of NRT. Some are available over-the-counter, others by prescription: • Nicotine patches stick on your skin like a bandage. They supply a low dose of nicotine that gets absorbed through the skin and into your bloodstream throughout the day.

• When you chew nicotine gum, it releases a low dose of nicotine that is absorbed through your cheek and into your blood-

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff stream.

• When nasal spray is sprayed as a mist into the nose, nicotine reaches the bloodstream within five to 10 seconds. This is the fastest way to relieve withdrawal symptoms.

• Puffing on a cigarette-shaped inhaler (sometimes called an e-cigarette) delivers a low dose of nicotine through the mouth, throat and lungs. You use the inhaler when you feel the urge for a cigarette.

• Lozenges supply a low dose of nicotine that gets absorbed into your bloodstream.

Two other quit-smoking medications do not contain nicotine; they act on the brain to decrease nicotine cravings, nicotine withdrawal symptoms, or both.

Varenicline (Chantix) and bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban) are prescription drugs.

They imitate some effects of nicotine, cutting down on cravings and withdrawal symptoms. So if you slip and have a cigarette, you will experience less of a reward.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported both varenicline and bupropion may, in a few people, trigger thoughts of suicide or actual suicide attempts. Any person starting on these treatments, and their friends and family, should look for changes in mood and behavior.

Withdrawal symptoms are most intense when you first quit. Getting through your fifth or 10th cigarette-free day will be much easier than getting through your first.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

There are some deals in which only overtricks are at stake. Then, it is usually interesting solely if the deal is in a duplicate pair game scored by matchpoints.

Suppose every deal is played 11 times. If all of the North-South pairs are in four spades making five, each gets an average: 5 matchpoints. But if one declarer brings home a 12th trick, he gets a top of 10 points while every other North-South pair scores only 4.5.

Today’s deal occurred many years ago during a duplicate at the former Beverly Bridge Club in New York City.

Most North-South pairs stopped in four spades, but a couple of ambitious bidders reached six spades.

What happened after West led a low heart?

At the end of the session, two players had this conversation, the first to speak believing himself to be an expert.

“Can you believe that our opponent dropped the singleton king offside on that deal?”

“How did the play go?”

“I won the first trick with the heart jack and tried to cash the ace, but declarer ruffed and cashed the spade ace. Did he find the play against you?”

“No, he did not.”

“Lucky you.”

Not so lucky. The second player had won the first trick with his heart ace and returned the heart queen.

Now South understandably placed the heart king with West and, by deduction, the spade king with East.

Hiding key information from declarer is an essential part of expert defense.
