VIEWS Bob Okon

Kmart doesn’t get much respect these days.

Actually, it never did it.

The words, “I got it at Kmart,” were never said with great pride – even when Kmart was a big deal.

And Kmart was a big deal at one time.

“The Joliet K Mart is the 98th to be opened by the S. S. Kresge Co. in the past three years,” reported a Joliet Herald-News story from Sept. 22, 1965, about the new store opening that week at Jefferson Street and Larkin Avenue.

Kmart’s owner today, Sears Holdings, announced last week the Joliet store will close in December. But the 51-year-old news article from the Herald-News files gives a glimpse of the vitality that Kmart brought to town back then.

“The company is opening new K Marts at the rate of 35 to 40 a year,” the story went on. “A year ago the company became the operator of the largest number of discount department stores in the world.”

K stood for Kresge, the name of one of America’s great, innovative retailers who in 1899 began to pioneer what grew into a giant chain of five-and-ten-cent stores – including locations in downtown Joliet and the Hillcrest Shopping Center in Crest Hill – and then evolved into Kmart, which was spelled “K Mart” when the first stores opened in 1962.

But K could have stood for “King” because Kmart became the king of discount

The Herald-News story included store manager Edward G. O’Brien discussing Kmart’s retail strategy, which included the “accelerated turnover principle” to move merchandise in “huge quantity.”

“To move goods this rapidly, self-service is the only practical way to set up the store. Trained employees are available however to help customers who want it,” O’Brien said.

Indeed, I have a childhood memory of my brother and I being fitted for shoes by a Kmart employee – something unimaginable today – at that store.

O’Brien also talked about the police

Houbolt bridge moving faster than some want

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Houbolt Road bridge project may have taken years to develop, but plans are moving fast enough now that some want to slow down.

Representatives from the Union Pacific Railroad and Mid-West Truckers Association last week asked the city of Joliet to delay approval of a memorandum of agreement so they can find out more about what is in the MOU.

The Joliet City Council decided to move ahead, with Mayor Bob O’Dekirk noting that the city would be in an awkward position slowing down the MOU after the state had “answered our call” to get the project moving.

Plans for a toll bridge over the Des Plaines River had been in the works before O’Dekirk became mayor in 2015. But early in his term, O’Dekirk vowed to make the project a priority as part of a long-term plan to take truck congestion off local roads.

City officials said Joliet was the last of

that would be at Kmart to control traffic at the store opening. He mentioned that the parking lot had spaces for nearly 1,000 cars.

It’s been a long time since Kmart had to worry about having enough parking for 1,000 cars at that store. But it’s still impressive that Kmart has held that corner – one of the busiest in Joliet and Will County – for more than a half-century.

Think about it.

the parties to sign the MOU, which also includes Will County, the state of Illinois and CenterPoint Properties.

What Union Pacific and Mid-West Truckers are worried about is a section of the agreement that they say could open up an opportunity for CenterPoint Properties to some day start charging tolls for roads going in and out of the Joliet industrial park that includes the Union Pacific intermodal yard.

Museum overcomes state budget crisis with local support

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com

LOCKPORT – The Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery reopened Saturday, thanks to local support that helped overcome problems in state government.

The Lockport gallery was one of five Illinois State Museum locations that closed a year ago, casualties of the political standoff associated with the state budget crisis.

The local gallery became the third to reopen, thanks to a $50,000 contribution split between the city of Lockport and a nonprofit created to support the museum. The future of the two other locations is uncertain.

“The community stakeholders’ contribution was crucial to this site reemerging,” said John Lustig, director of the Lockport gallery.

The Lockport gallery is a local site for exhibits brought from the Illinois State Museum in Springfield, giving people an opportunity to see pieces from a collection that includes 13.5 million objects collected since the museum opened in 1877.

“It’s the principal museum to tell the story of Illinois,” said Michael Wiant, the interim director of the Illinois State Museum. He was at the Lockport reopening.

Most of the items on display Saturday were artwork, including paintings of the state’s rural landscape by notable Illinois artists Harold Gregor and James Winn. It also included abstract works created by artists from Chicago’s south suburbs.

Taxidermy showed animals of Illinois, including an eastern gray squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk and a long-tailed weasel. A taxidermy of a bobcat on display is nearly 100 years old.

The entire state museum collection, Wiant said, contains geological objects that are hundreds of millions of years old, including samples of Joliet limestone, and archaeological items that are thousands of years old.

“We’ve got a wonderful collection [of arrowheads] from the Glasscock family of Joliet,” Wiant said, citing the family that ran the Glasscock Farms produce stands until 2015. That collection has been on display at the Dickson Mounds Museum.

The Dickson Mounds Museum in Lewistown reopened July 2. So did the Illinois State Museum in Springfield.

Still closed are museums at Rend Lake and in the James R. Thompson Center in Chicago.

The Springfield museum started charging admission, although the $5 price has not stirred much complaint, Wiant said.

“Almost universally, people have accepted it and said $5 is really a deal,” he said.

The Lockport museum does not charge admission. Some questioned whether it should have closed.

“It shouldn’t have to be reopened,

“We’re hoping through the experience, [students are] going to make decisions [on their career].”

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Central High School students took a trip Friday around Joliet to view two homes being constructed to learn what it takes to build a solid living space.

The students’ trip was the result of a partnership between the Joliet High School District 204 Career and Technical Education Program and Joliet city’s Neighborhood Services Division.

“We’re hoping through the experience, [students are] going to make decisions [on their career],” said Dede Woodward, the district’s career and technical education director.

City officials said in a news release that Alfredo Melesio, Joliet Neighborhood Services director, would visit with students to share the history and scope of homes being constructed in the city.

The visit is to be followed by bus tours to a few sites throughout the academic year.

“I’m glad we were able to pull it together with the cooperation of teachers and staff,” Melesio said.

On Friday, a group of students first visited the foundation of a home in the Forest Park area of Joliet. The foundation was filled with concrete and had beams installed.

Tim Grygiel, Joliet Central High School wood shop teacher, talks with students and Alfredo Melesio, Joliet neighborhood services director, during a tour Friday of homes being constructed in Joliet.

Melesio and Tim Grygiel, a wood shop teacher at Central, talked with the students about the design and materials of the foundation, including the sump pump and black tar evident outside it.

“Anyone knows what this for?” Gry-

giel asked the students about the black tar. “If you have a crack or anything, it kind of keeps the water from going into your crawl space or basement.”

Next, students visited another area of Joliet with a home in a later stage of

construction. It had most of the exterior and interior installed, along with piping.

The students toured the home and learned more about construction, including insulation, dry wall, piping, radon vent and room windows, which were designed to be big enough for fire escape or for firefighters to come into the house with all their equipment.

Grygiel said the students get a handson experience seeing the construction phases – seeing in real life what he talks about in the classroom.

“They’re going to see all phases of construction. So hopefully it sparks some kind of career,” he said.

He said his goal is having the students take one field trip a month to continue to see the development of homes they visit in the city.

Teacher contract negotiations continue for District 54

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – On Monday, Morris Elementary School District 54 teacher Denise Bach stood among other district teachers to address the board about ongoing contract negotiations.

“I am speaking to you tonight on behalf of not only my team, but also my fellow Morris Elementary Education Association (MEEA) members regarding our desire to settle the contract negotiations in a peaceful and respectful way,” Bach read from a typed statement.

The previous contract expired Aug. 15; negotiations on a new contract started in February and have been ongoing since, Bach said.

But the concern Bach shared last week was regarding the shock teachers had when they learned in April that Al Gegenheimer, who was interim superintendent at the time, had made changes to the bus schedule.

Gegenheimer agreed with the bus company, Morris Community High School District 101 and Saratoga Com-

munity Consolidated District 60-C – which share buses with District 54 – for an earlier start time for the 2016-17 academic year for District 54 because the Shabbona Middle School and White Oak Elementary combining, as that created a staggered schedule.

Bach said the teachers’ 2015-16 contracts, the policies of which they are adhering to during negotiations for the 2016-17 contract, state a specific start and stop time of the school day. Bach said the agreed-upon changes were also a breach of the contract they were negotiating for the 2016-17 school year.

District 54 Principal Chris Maier said the updated schedule – changed to accommodate a staggered schedule due to the consolidation of Shabbona Middle School and White Oak Elementary into one building – had the fifththrough eighth-grade students entering the building at 7:30 a.m. and either going to breakfast or holding areas with the first bell at 7:38 a.m. and first class at 7:45 a.m.

Maier said the original contract from the 2015-16 school year had a class start time of 7:55 a.m., and the junior

high level teachers have stuck to their original contract and have reported to class at that time. Students stay in designated areas and are supervised by the administrative team, district office staff and even board members until the teachers are in their classrooms for the day.

Board President Jerald White said he cannot speak for or about what happened with Gegenheimer, only that the contracts are in mediation and the first mediation meeting took place Aug. 12.

White said there was not a resolution at that time.

“We are trying to save the district money, that’s why we combined buildings in the first place. We are trying to fix a broken wheel here. We need to take care of the teachers, administrative support, students and community – we are trying to take care of everyone,” White said.

Bach said the contract issue only affects the junior high-level teachers, and that they are reporting to school at the times of their 2015-16 contract until a contract is accepted.

She said other items in the contract

negotiations about start time were whether the language offered a set start and finish time for each position, or if the position was given a number of hours, in which case, she said, the district could hire two people for the same position, which would make it a part-time job. She feels they might do this to save costs on benefits.

Stacie Walton, UniServ director who represents the teachers, was not available for comment on the information given.

In an emailed statement sent after the board meeting, White clarified that the district needs to refrain from comment on contract negotiations since it is in mediation.

“The board of education supports the teachers’ union and are committed to reaching a fair contract. To continue negotiating professionally, the school board will not comment at this time,” White wrote. “The school board’s goal is to reach an agreement with our teachers, who continue to provide an excellent learning environment for our students, and adhere to the financial responsibilities of our community.”

Plainfield making use of electronic, household waste pickup program Thousands of pounds of waste collected in village since May 1

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – It’s been almost five months since the village of Plainfield started the “At Your Door” electronic and household hazardous waste special collection program.

The program provides Plainfield residents with the opportunity to have unwanted items – such as leftover paint, garden chemicals, automotive products, household cleaners, electronics and more – collected at their homes.

And it’s been a success. More than 84,000 pounds of household hazardous waste and electronics have been collected since the service, provided by Waste Management, was opened to residents May 1.

Televisions, batteries, paint, motor oil, pesticides and compact fluorescent lamps are the most common items collected from Plainfield residents through the At Your Door program, according to a news release. Of the ma-

terials collected, 77,000 pounds – or 92 percent – of waste and electronics have been sent for recycling.

The program was started after residents expressed through a survey hosted by the village that they were interested and willing to pay for the program, Plainfield community relations director Amy De Boni said. Residents now pay $1.15 more on their utility bill each month for the service.

All residents have to do is go to www.wmatyourdoor.com to schedule a pickup and provide a brief description of what items need to be picked up.

“The village has received very positive feedback from our residents on this new service,” Plainfield Mayor Mike Collins said in a news release.

“With one call, residents are able to schedule a collection of electronics and household hazardous waste. The program is convenient and easy to use.”

The At Your Door service is one way municipalities throughout Will County are adjusting after Vintage Tech Recyclers backed out of its contract with the county in January 2016.

The county went from 13 electronic collection sites to none, but then Lockport, Romeoville, Peotone and New Lenox Township agreed to host electronic drop-off events several times a month.

Witness who filmed incident says on social media that teen was beaten

“We want to take photographs of his injuries, make sure that he’s receiving medical treatment as they heal and that evidence is preserved. If there’s any issue with that, we’ll be back in court on Monday.”

Greg Reeder Defense attorney “grabbed” her friend. Reyes said Roberson started walking the other direction. Reyes said she too was walking in the other direction when the officer appeared and did so until she saw “him get beat brutally.”

Reyes said there were more videos and she encouraged others to share them in order to “raise awareness and be safe from our protectors.”

Jensen confirmed that part of the arrest was recorded by a witness on her camera phone.

Roberson, of the 2100 block of Tamarack Drive in Joliet, was arrested on charges of aggravated battery and resisting arrest. He was also ticketed for walking in the roadway. He is being held in the Will County Jail on $50,000 bond.

Roberson’s case briefly was in court Friday morning as defense attorney Greg Reeder asked Judge Dave Carlson for permission to visit his client in person at the Will County Jail. Jail visitation is typically done through a video system. Carlson granted the request.

The judge also allowed Reeder to bring a camera into the facility, but noted the jail may have its own policy on how it’s used.

“We want to take photographs of his injuries, make sure that he’s receiving medical treatment as they heal and that evidence is preserved,” Reeder said. “If there’s any issue with that, we’ll be back in court on Monday.”

JOLIET – Police say an 18-year-old man ignored, then struggled with, officers before being arrested Monday, but a person who posted on social media a few seconds of video of the arrest says her friend was beaten.

Joliet Police Deputy Chief Tab Jensen said police went at 6:19 p.m. Monday to Benton Street and Youngs Avenue to find “about 20 subjects standing in the roadway.”

“That is an area of high gang activity that has seen several shootings in the last few days,” Jensen said. “Several known Vice Lords were in the middle of the street and began to walk away when officers arrived.”

When the group was told to move over to a nearby fence, everyone complied except Dae R. Roberson, who continued walking away, Jensen said.

“They yelled for him to stop. He finally complied and the officers started a ‘pat search’ for their safety,” Jensen said. “Roberson clenched his fists, grabbed onto the fence, clenched them again. He was told to put his hands be-

hind his back and refused.”

Roberson then allegedly began struggling and an officer hit him two times as a “distraction” and put handcuffs on one wrist, Jensen said.

“A knife dropped from his pocket,” Jensen said. “[Roberson] turned and shoved the officer in the chest, then ran before he was grabbed and taken to the ground where he was [struck] again.”

Jensen said there was broken glass in the area where the struggle occurred and two officers suffered cuts to their hands. Roberson suffered a cut lip and bruises to his hands and knees, and those injuries were photographed, Jensen said.

In a Facebook post tagged #JUSTICE4DAE, Celena Reyes states Roberson was beaten brutally by police as he was arrested. It was accompanied by a 9-second video that shows a portion of the arrest.

Reyes wrote that her friend was walking her back from the McDonald’s on Cass Street and as they were walking with other friends, “doing no harm to anyone as even kids were playing outside,” when police pulled up and

Troy board approves architect agreement, budget, fund transfer

By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – The Troy District 30-C school board acted on several items last week.

Among them was an agreement with Legat Architects, which the board approved Wednesday with a 6-0 “yes” vote, Superintendent Todd Koehl said.

Board President Mark Griglione was absent.

The district met with six firms in the search for an architect, Koehl has said, before selecting Legat, which has three offices in the Chicago area and has done work near the district.

“We felt that they were a very practical, yet visionary group,” Koehl said Thursday.

Koehl said the agreement is essentially a master contract that defines Legat’s relationship with Troy. The agreement is year-to-year with an optout clause. Koehl said it is too early to estimate what Legat’s services could cost the district.

Troy will work with Legat in the context of a 10-year master facility plan, Koehl said. A master facility plan committee that will include Legat representation, as well as various community stakeholders, will assess maintenance and expansion options to accommodate growth.

Legat will also handle routine building maintenance and structural needs for the district.

Also Wednesday, the board approved Troy’s 2016-17 budget, with all members present voting in favor, Koehl said.

District revenue for 2016-17 is projected at $52.6 million and expenditures are expected to be about $57.7 million, Elaine Colombo, executive director of finance and operations, has said.

About $5.6 million of those expenditures will go toward facility improvements to be paid for using savings from previous years.

Expenditures are budgeted at about 7 percent more than they were in 201516, while revenue is relatively flat year-over-year.

The district opted not to budget all state revenue sources at 100 percent as a precautionary measure.

No one spoke at a public hearing on the budget held immediately before the board’s Wednesday meeting, Koehl said.

The board also passed at the meeting, with all present voting “yes,” a more than $4 million fund transfer, according to Koehl.

The transfer moves $2.4 million from the transportation fund to the operations and maintenance fund, and moves an additional $1.75 million from the education fund to the operations and maintenance fund.

The money was transferred to pay for work conducted over the summer at Crossroads Elementary School.

Lincoln-Way D-210 board plans to approve tax levy

Day care provider

Tingley brought up at Thursday’s meeting a potential Request For Proposal for the development of on-site child care. He said he was putting information together in a memo to present to the board on the RFP, with the idea of having the board discuss it.

“It’s up for discussion, but it’s certainly something we can table and discuss next week once I get the complete findings from Rich,” Tingley said, referring to Rich Wilkey, the district’s buildings and grounds director.

At the Aug. 18 meeting, the board approved a highly controversial agreement with Aunt Nancy’s Child Care that required it to remit $60,000 annually to the district after operating

Pavement, roofing plans

The board approved services from DLA Architects to provide the district architectural services for Central and East high schools focusing on asphalt pavement and roofs.

The 30- to 90-day project will cost upward of $8,500 for asphalt pavement evaluation and report – including the allowance of $5,000 to $8,000 per campus if further analysis is needed – along with upward of $16,500 for roof evaluation and report at both schools.

Wilkey said a survey from architects would help the district plan which roofs need replacement based on condition rather than life expectancy. He said the district has roofs that are 40 years old that don’t leak and roofs 20 years old that do.

“It’s just that bringing a professional to do a scientific analysis … [is] a way to really strategically plan which roofs we do first to maximize our dollars and protect the buildings,” Wilkey said.

Tingley said roof and parking lot work is not in the budget.

“That will have to be brought back to this board for consideration as to how we want to move forward,” he said.

NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way District 210 board plans to meet next week to approve the tax levy.

Superintendent Scott Tingley told the board at Thursday’s meeting that the levy must be passed before the district is able to borrow money for fiscal 2017.

“The levy is in a very good place,” he said.

Tingley said to the board the district has been authorized for $20 million in borrowing and will look for approval of the levy next Thursday to begin borrowing the next day.

The financially struggling district has engaged in short-term borrowing with tax anticipation warrants. District officials are in the process of paying off $20 million in those warrants, Tingley said.

The next meeting has been scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Knights’ Round Table Hall, Lincoln-Way Central High School, 1801 E. Lincoln Highway, New Lenox.

Texas judge: Witness will be sent back to testify in Will County murder trial

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Texas judge has reconsidered and will allow a man to be taken from jail to testify in an upcoming Will County murder trial.

“We weren’t told why she changed her mind,” Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Tricia McKenna said Friday. “But Will Coun- Martin Elvis ty Sheriff’s deputies are Gomez flying there [Friday] to drive him back for the trial.”

Miguel Hurtado was being held in an El Paso jail on a charge of delivery of drugs. While Hurtado was an inmate in the Will County Jail in 2007 and 2008, Martin Elvis Gomez, 31, allegedly asked him to kill Gomez’s ex-girlfriend, Jessica Gustafson.

Gomez was in jail on charges of murdering his former landlord, Joseph N. Salamie, and Gustafson’s testimony would have incriminated

him.

Gomez, who is acting as his own attorney, is scheduled to face his second murder trial on Monday after his initial conviction was overturned by an appellate court.

On May 10, 2007, Salamie was discovered slain on his 10-acre farm on South Harlem Avenue, just north of Peotone Road, in Peotone Township.

Gomez, who had once lived in a trailer on the farm, allegedly stabbed his former landlord 111 times, slit his throat and stole $1,200.

Gomez was convicted of murder in 2011, but an appellate court decided he had not been given the proper admonishments about representing himself, which he did for his first trial, and ordered a new trial. He also is serving a separate 19-year prison sentence for trying to hire Hurtado to kill Gustafson.

Before the Texas judge changed her mind, prosecutors had planned on Friday to ask Judge Carmen Goodman to use transcripts of Hurtado’s testimony from the first trial.

​ ttorney General files lawsuit in Will A County against home repair business SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – A lawsuit was filed last week by Attorney General Lisa Madigan against a home repair business she alleges defrauded Will and DuPage county homeowners out of nearly $150,000 for projects that were either poorly executed or never completed.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Will County, is against Eagletop Construction, which also operates as Eagle Top Design and Builders, and its operator, Dan M. Creager.

Madigan is seeking full restitution for homeowners defrauded by Creager, as well as civil penalties, according to a news release from her office.

The lawsuit alleges Creager solicited consumers online, including through the referral service HomeAdvisor, to perform home repairs since at least

March 9, 2015. Creager charged consumers and received payments for services that were never performed or completed, and refused to return the consumers’ payments, according to the news release.

The lawsuit alleges Creager’s actions violated both the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and the Home Repair and Remodeling Act. “Through this lawsuit, we’re working to stop yet another home repair scammer from doing business in Illinois and taking advantage of homeowners,” Madigan said in the news release.

The lawsuit notes that Creager’s businesses are not registered with the Illinois Secretary of State; she also warned in the news release that Creager recently started operating under the name Michael Builders.

Will County Drug Court receives $300,000 federal grant JOLIET – The Will County Drug Court has been awarded a $300,000 federal grant to expand services to help combat the growing heroin epidemic.

The grant will provide $100,000 annually for the next three years and was awarded through the U.S. Department of Justice’s 2016 Adult Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program. It was obtained through a cooperative effort by the Will County State’s Attorney and

Drug court allows prosecutors and defense attorneys to work with the judge and treatment providers to help abusers who have committed nonviolent offenses battle their addictions.

Those in the program must remain drug free, submit to random drug tests, find employment and follow through with treatment and attend weekly drug court sessions, according to the news release.

FRANKFORT TOWNSHIP – A Park Forest woman was killed in a one-car accident on Interstate 80 Friday morning.

State police said there were reports that Kiala Jamison, 18, was ejected from her car after it struck a concrete median at about 6:24 a.m. Jamison was taken to Silver Cross Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 7 a.m., according to the Will County Coroner’s Office. Jamison was driving west about one-quarter mile west of La Grange Road when the crash occurred. She was driving a 2007 Dodge Caliber.

State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow spearheaded the creation of the Will County Drug Court in the late 1990s. It has an across-the-board success rate in excess of 80 percent, according to the county.

County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. in 2011 brought together local leaders to form Will County HELPS (Heroin Education Leads to Preventive Solutions) to tackle the growing heroin problem. He said the grant will help expand Drug Court.

The grant funding will be used to hire an additional case manager and to expand counseling, treatment and therapy services for criminal defendants who are in the program, according to the news release, which should enable drug court to bring an additional 35 to 40 defendants into the program.

Current capacity is about 75. During the past 16 years, there have been more than 350 nonviolent offenders whose criminal charges were dismissed after they completed drug court.

City Attorney Marty Shanahan said the clause “is just a hypothetical to appease CenterPoint.”

“CenterPoint was concerned that the bridge would be constructed, and the city would build a new road into the development as an access point – essentially a free road,” Shanahan said.

The bridge would connect the Joliet industrial park with Houbolt Road. The state would spend up to $21 million to widen Houbolt Road and build a new interchange at Interstate 80.

“As a courtesy, we are asking that we be brought in and explained the purpose of the MOU,” UP Director of Public Affairs Adrian Guererro told the council Monday.

Matt Wells, associate director for the Mid-West Truckers Association, said, “The MOU does set precedence for all future projects surrounding the Houbolt Road bridge itself.”

Both said they are concerned about a section of the MOU that allows CenterPoint first refusal if local governments decide to give up jurisdiction of local roads leading into the industrial parks.

If CenterPoint can’t recoup the $155 million to $175 million estimated costs of building the privately owned bridge through tolls charged to truckers, it may look to charge tolls on other roads leading in and out of the industrial park, Wells said.

a lot longer. J.D. Brown & Company, Turk Furniture and Sumbaum Cycle, which is located just across Larkin from Kmart, all can trace their origins to the 19th century. All of them even preceded the first Kresge five-and-ten store.

But all those stores have moved to new locations over the years. None have been in the same place for 51 years.

Obviously, Kmart should have changed for the better somewhere along the way. After all, S.S. Kresge Co. shut down the Kresge stores as it opened Kmarts.

But Kmart did change. A 1985 fact sheet from Kmart, also in The Herald-News files, is a reminder for those

who have forgotten that by then the company had acquired several retail and restaurant chains, including Walden Book Company, the nation’s largest bookstore chain, and Builders Square, one of the first home improvement big-box stores.

Those Kmart subsidiaries were in Joliet, too, but have disappeared.

Now, Kmart is going – at least from Joliet and New Lenox, where the Kmart also is closing.

But as Kmart comes to a pitiful end, it’s worth remembering that it was brash, bustling and maybe the biggest thing in retailing when it came to Joliet.

Kmart back then was a sign of the future – 51 years’ worth of future.

URBANA – When Dennis Roberts’ car insurance started getting a bit too expensive, he did what a lot of consumers do and shopped around.

Then he picked a new company and switched both his home and auto coverage, never expecting what it was going to cost him.

A few weeks after he switched, his new insurer sent an inspector over to his home in Urbana to look at the roof, then notified him he needed a roof replacement, Roberts said. Refusing would mean cancellation of his new policy.

But the roof on his home wasn’t failing, he argued. While it’s 18 years old, it was expected to last 25 years, and most of it is in good shape.

“To me, it looked fine,” Roberts said.

A city alderman, Roberts started asking around to see whether anything like this was happening to other people.

He’s heard from dozens of homeowners in Urbana who have had similar experiences with insurance companies demanding they replace their roofs, along with roofers who have been seeing this trend on the rise.

Record number of Illinois youths killed while in DCFS care

CHICAGO – A record number of youths have been killed while in the care of Illinois’ Department of Children and Family Services, many of them victims of Chicago’s gang violence.

The Chicago Tribune reported that 11 youths died during a two-year period that ended June 30, 2015.

A confidential Office of the Inspector General report obtained by the newspaper notes societal problems such as poverty played a role. It also identifies failures in the state system.

Many teens were placed for long periods in emergency shelters or in homes located in rival gang territories.

Urbana Alderman Dennis Roberts sits on the roof of his home Sept. 12 in Urbana. He is one of dozens of people he knows of locally who had home insurers tell them they would have to put new roofs on their homes when they weren’t needed yet, and without much time to get the job done, or their coverage would be canceled.

And he’s concerned because roofs aren’t cheap and many people can’t afford that kind of unexpected expense.

Roofs can run $7,000 and more, and people he has heard from have been given 30 to 90 days by their insurers to get the roofing jobs done, Roberts said.

“If you own your own home and have a fixed income, where are you going to get the money in 30 days?” he

Failed insurer’s customers face deadline to find new plan

CHICAGO – Illinois insurance regulators are reminding customers of Land of Lincoln Health that they must enroll in a new health insurance policy with a different company by the end of the month or they’ll have a gap in coverage.

Land of Lincoln began shutting down in July after crippling financial losses. The 3-year-old nonprofit’s failure left 49,000 Illinois policyholders searching for new coverage.

Local Realtor Jonah Weisskopf said he was running into roof demands from insurers through buying investment properties until he finally purchased a commercial policy with an exemption for roofs.

New roofs on two houses he bought in 2013 cost him $20,000, he said, and “neither of the roofs leaked or anything.”

Last fall, Jeff Machota of Urbana said he switched home and auto coverage looking for better car insurance rates and he, too, was hit with an unexpected roof inspection and demand to replace it in 90 days.

A new roof was on his someday list of improvements for this house, Machota said, but it was a few years down the road since the roof wasn’t yet failing. It was late fall and he argued with the insurer that it wasn’t the season to reroof a home, he said, but was told any company he switched to would require replacing the roof.

A technician examines the lighting grid Saturday as preparations continue for Monday’s first debate between presidential candidates, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.

Clinton, Trump looking to quell weaknesses in debate

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Donald Trump needs to prove to voters that he has the policy depth and gravitas to serve as commander in chief. Hillary Clinton needs a moment to connect with Americans who question whether she can be trusted.

In an election year that has upended political convention, the candidates’ best opportunity to conquer their weaknesses will come in the most traditional of campaign forums: Monday’s 90-minute, prime-time debate.

Both campaigns expect a record-setting television audience for the high-stakes showdown, which could help tip the balance in a tight White House race.

The visuals alone will be striking as the candidates step behind their lecterns at Hofstra University in suburban New York. Clinton will be the first woman to take the stage in a presidential general election debate. Trump has spent years on Americans’ TV screens as a reality show host, but it can still be jarring to see him at politics’ upper echelons.

Six weeks from Election Day, and with early voting already underway, the opening debate is one of the few opportunities left for the candidates to motivate supporters and sway a narrow band of undecided voters. According to a new Associated Press-Gfk poll, more than 85 percent of likely voters backing Clinton or Trump said their minds are completely made up. About 13 percent said they were undecided.

The candidates’ preparation has been a microcosm of their sharply different approaches to politics and presumably, the presidency.

The Democratic nominee has taken full days away from campaign travel to pore over

briefing books, practicing to pounce if Trump makes false statements and steeling herself for the possibility that he levels deeply personal attacks. She’s been preparing for the debate at her home in Westchester, New York, and a nearby hotel, where she was spotted with aides Saturday afternoon.

Longtime Clinton aide Philippe Reines is playing Trump in mock debates, according to a person familiar with the preparations who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and insisted on anonymity. Reines is a combative political operative who is deeply loyal to Clinton.

Former President Bill Clinton has sat in on some sessions, offering advice from his own White House debates.

Trump has eschewed traditional debate preparations, but has held midflight policy discussions with a rotating cast of advisers. He’s also spent numerous Sundays batting around ideas with aides.

The Republican businessman’s loose approach is potentially risky given that he is new to many policy issues expected to come up during the debate. But advisers contend he will compensate by being quick on his feet and point to his experience at performing under pressure.

“Imagine the practice and the training of 13 years of reality television on ‘The Apprentice’ and then imagine Hillary’s experience reading hundreds of papers,” said Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and a Trump adviser who has been talking through policy with the candidate in recent days.

Clinton aides fear Trump will indeed be judged more for his performance than his grasp of the numerous challenges that pass across a president’s desk.

but to have it open is great,” said Mary Bookwalter, an artist from Crete who had two prints on display.

The city of Lockport and the building’s owner had worked out a deal to keep the museum open with the city paying a reduced rent plus utilities.

But Gov. Bruce Rauner ordered all the museum locations closed.

On Saturday, Mayor Steven Streit, who fought the closure, and other officials were in good spirits to see the museum open again.

“I’m pleased because it’s meaningful to the people of Lockport, and it’s meaningful to the region,” Streit said.

“It’s allowing people to access the Illinois State Museum collection without driving all the way to Springfield.”

Lockport and a nonprofit organization created by the local chapter of the Illinois State Museum Society will pay the $50,000 annual rent for the building. The state will continue to pay the employees and utilities.

Jan Meister, another artist from Crete with work on display, expressed her appreciation for the local effort to reopen the gallery.

“They didn’t throw their hands in the air and say, ‘Oh well,’ ” Meister said. “They went above and beyond, and they should be commended for their dedication.”

“They didn’t throw their hands in the air and say, ‘Oh well.’

‘Spice of creativity’

Nancy Fischer of Joliet said she and her husband, Earl, “almost wore black in mourning” when the museum closed. They visit the museum regularly and attend the lectures that are held there.

“We were very happy to hear that the museum was reopening,” Fischer said as she and Earl examined the art on exhibit.

One newcomer Saturday was sixth-grader Jack Fandrey of Justice.

He and his father, Don Fandrey, had been to the Lockport Moose Lodge, where Don is a member, and just happened to come by because of the activity surrounding the museum and a Steampunk Fest in the parking lot.

“It really gives you a spice of creativity just looking around,” said Jack, who is a cartoonist himself.

“You see different pieces of art. It’s amazing.”

Dear Mr. Berko: Is there a group called the Plunge Protection Team that is part of the Federal Reserve and is supposed to prevent stock crashes and allow the administration to manipulate the prices of stocks and commodities? – BW, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Dear BW: Few civilians are aware

of Executive Order 12631, signed by President Ronald Reagan in March 1988 in the Oval Office. According to my daughter, Hilary, an attorney (one of the good ones) who’s a genius at finding anything in the Federal Register, “the provisions of EO 12631 appear at 53 FR 9421, 3 CFR, 1988 Comp., P 559, unless otherwise noted.” Reading that sounds like George Orwell’s “1984.”

EO 12631 established the Working Group on Financial Markets, darkly known as the Plunge Protection Team, or PPT. The PPT was put in place to prevent a stock market crash like the one on Black Monday – Oct. 19, 1987.

The Dow Jones industrial average ranged more than 1,000 points that day, ending down 508 points (falling 22.61 percent), at 1,738.74.

This working group has four members, who are called “dictators” for their powers, and they are the secretary of the treasury or his designee,

The PPT has been hard at the helm saving the world from the Long-Term Capital Management crisis of 1998, the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, the stock market downturn of 2002, the Chinese stock bubble of 2007, the Great Recession of 2007-09, the U.S. bear market the chair of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System or her des- of 2008-09, the European debt crisis of 2009-11, the Chinese stock market turignee, the chair of the Securities and bulence of 2015-16, and the aftermath Exchange Commission or her desigof the recent Brexit referendum. nee, and the chair of the Commodity And it has done it efficiently and Futures Trading Commission or his quietly.

effected the foreign exchange purchases earn only between $60,000 and $100,000 a year, so all inside information is available at a price to the highest bidder. Most “biddees” have burgeoning credit card debt, mortgages, car payments, college loans and other strangling debts.

The mantra most of us are taught is that markets move randomly and reflect the collective wisdom of all buyers and sellers, including those who sit on the sidelines. This notion is basically pablum for innocents who believe in the Easter Bunny, Elon Musk and an honest congressperson.

Now when you see a press story about how high the Dow or the S&P 500 has gone and the mainstream media are pushing that as a signal the economy is taking off, just remember EO 12631.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

It’s time to write a new Rialto story Everyone around here has a Rialto story.

Maybe it’s where a man took the woman who is now his wife on a first date. Or it was the first stage a dancer performed on, or where a first movie was seen, or maybe the first experience of a live play.

Whatever the details of your story, the memory of that experience likely fills you with joy and a fondness for the Rialto Square Theatre that cannot be matched.

As a community, we need to create a shared Rialto story of supporting the Jewel of Joliet.

It’s been almost two years since the announcement of a donation of a new marquee for the Rialto Square Theatre caused disapproval and frustration. There were accusations and inquiries. There was, by vocal minorities on both sides, an embarrassing level of discourse that amounted to little more than name calling.

The monetary donation for the new marquee was withdrawn, leaving the theater with a half-finished marquee it didn’t want to use and worse off financially – a problem that grew as the days went by. Shows weren’t being booked anymore. Some staff went to part-time hours.

For many months, the future looked dire for the Rialto.

We could go on about the many ups and down since November 2014, but we’d rather dedicate this space to the future, and what could be.

Because what could be, could be amazing.

VenuWorks was hired in August as the third-party management team to guide the Rialto out of a financial morass and into a brighter future – one with more shows at the beloved downtown theater.

The Rialto board, employees and VenuWorks know they have work to do. There is a $500,000 backlog of bills. Joliet needs to get back on the radar of promoters. And so much more needs to be done.

We don’t expect miracles overnight, and neither should you. But for the first time in a long time, people are talking about the Rialto with hope. There is faith that the Rialto can be viable and vibrant again.

We can be a part of that hope. As shows are booked, make plans to attend them. If you can support the theater financially, do so. If you have ideas, share them with the Rialto management (they say they want to hear from us).

The next chapter of the Rialto is being composed now. Let’s make it one we write together as a community.

new foundation with a quality, quantity and diversity of shows that will offer our patrons a consistently exceptional entertainment experience.

As we proceed with this process the need to meet our operating expenses through the end of the year must still be addressed. I, therefore, would encourage those in our community to show your love and support of the Rialto with an investment in the theatre to help us as we move forward to a very bright and exciting future for the “Jewel of Joliet.”

The show WILL go on!

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus fur, except in the one place it matters: the bald spot on the back of my head.

All that changed last year when I met Melphalan.

Melphalan is the stuff they shoot into you the day before you get a stem cell transplant. My buddy Corky, whose wife had a transplant a few years ago, calls it “horse killer chemo.” That’s probably an apt description. One 30-minute infusion kills every white blood cell in your body over the course of a week. Works so well, I had it done twice: Once in February and again in August. Sort of like doubling down on your remission chances.

In addition to killing white blood cells, Melphalan also kills most of your hair. Within a few days of the treatment the hair on my scalp started coming out in clumps. Followed by nearly all of the hair on my eyebrows, beard, chest and points south. The tile on the shower floor looked like a

brown shag carpet when I stepped out.

Since I knew it would happen, I wasn’t really alarmed. Instead I was more interested in seeing how I’d look after the transformation.

I was watching the final episodes of “Breaking Bad” when all this was going on and I got it into my head that, yeah, maybe I could pull off that badass Walter White bald look. I felt a real affinity for the character; both of us middle aged white men in deadend careers with mounting medical bills due to an out-of-the-blue cancer diagnosis.

My daughter even bought me a black pork pie hat to complete my ensemble.

Unfortunately when it was all said and done, I looked a lot less like Walter White and a lot more like Uncle Fester.

It took nearly nine months for my hair to come back. Nine months without having to shave. Nine months without having to shampoo. Nine months without having to comb.

With apologies to St. Baldrick, it was awesome.

Then one day last spring my hair came back. With a vengeance. In all

the usual places. Except the bald spot.

In the old days, I was pretty casual about haircuts, or even shaving for that matter. Barber visits were limited to whenever I got around to it, usually dictated by an inability to keep the hair out of my eyes.

Being a child of the 1970s, I was used to growing my hair long and letting my freak flag fly. At least as long as my mother would allow me. Not quite shoulder-length, but pretty close in my teens. Long and swept back in my 20s and 30s, medium with a side part in my 40s and 50s.

But now, since getting out of the hospital, I can’t abide anything longer than a crewcut.

I hit Banana Joe’s Barber Shop every few weeks. “Three” on the side.

“Five” on the top. Shave the neck, and don’t forget to trim the eyebrows and ears.

It ain’t breaking bald, but it sure beats horse killer chemo.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Continued from page 32

Garages in downtown Chicago have fast food restaurants on ground-level floors and do very well.

With JJC right there it’s a hop, skip and a jump for students to get a bite to eat. After being in the very same location for 37 years, it shows their dedication to an area that has changed dramatically over the years.

What more can you ask for in a business?

Don’t push them out. They have supported others in the area – now give them the support they need. Eventually there’s going to be a new courthouse, and Union Station will be upgraded to a new level, which hopefully will encourage other businesses to move there as well.

We all know that the 2022 lease will not mean much if they want the property that badly. Just be fair to Chicken-n-Spice.

Creating a culture of awareness

To the Editor: Thanks to years of advocacy campaigns and educational programs across the country, most Americans now know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and more people are learning that September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

But all too often, these important months are seen as mutually exclusive.

Presence Health suggests everyone should try and take a different approach: Why not talk about these

two cancers together? That’s exactly what Presence is doing, and calling it the Season of Awareness: part of our public service efforts based on our ongoing mission stressing highly personal, compassionate care.

Between primary care physicians, patients, oncologists and family members, fighting cancer is a team effort and a strong support network is paramount, regardless of the specific cancer. Throughout the months of September and October, Presence Health is helping to facilitate these important conversations among patients, physicians and family members.

In Will County alone, an average of 407 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, while an average of 448 Will County women are diagnosed with breast cancer.

What’s more, prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting 1 in 7 men.

Further, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, and 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

However, it’s important to remember that while cancer is a serious health condition, a cancer diagnosis isn’t an automatic death sentence. In fact, both prostate can-

cer and breast cancer are highly treatable if detected early – and that’s exactly why it’s so important to foster conversations with our closest loved ones about cancer and possible family cancer history as well as getting a mammography or PSA testing beyond just September and October.

Losing some of my hair when I turned 50 was a depressing experience.

But losing all of it last year when I turned 56 was awesome.

You see, I have this thing about hair. It’s not really an aversion or a phobia. I simply have too much of it, mostly in places where I don’t need really need it. Like straggling across my back in vast forests. And creeping mosslike down the nape of my neck.

And shooting out of my ears in all directions like an unkempt Albert Einstein (except without the brains).

Pretty much all over.

My father had similar issues. He sometimes shaved twice a day, once in the morning before going to work, and again in the evening if he had a night meeting.

Maybe it has something to do with my ethnic heritage, which is mostly Lithuanian and Slovenian. And, I suspect, part Eurasian brown bear.

At least that’s my daughter’s theory.

Which she theorizes every time she plucks my overgrown eyebrows or the five o’clock shadow from my outer ears.

Yeah, I’m pretty much covered with

“You have to give Robert Morris credit,” USF coach Joe Curry said.

“They pounded it and did a great job with clock management. We stalled there on our drive in the fourth quarter, when we felt we were just out of field-goal range.

“Then they got the ball back. Korey

[Rogers] sees a hole and gets through it, and they have a great offensive line.

Rogers may be a shoo-in for conference offensive player of the week. Then again, some might say the same about Saints sophomore wide receiver Brandon Ruffin. All he did was catch eight passes for 226 yards and four touch-

FOOTBALL: HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 27, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 11

Lesson learned as Lincoln-Way W. falls to H-F

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media correspondent FLOSSMOOR – Lincoln-Way West’s football team lost to unbeaten Homewood-Flossmoor, 27-11, Friday in a Southwest Suburban Conference game, but the Warriors may have learned a helpful lesson as they head toward the playoffs.

“This was a good learning experience,” West coach Dave Ernst said.

“I think a lot of guys figured out how hard you really have to play to be successful and beat a good team.”

The Warriors (4-1, 2-1) fell behind the Vikings (5-0, 3-0), 21-2, at halftime. H-F took its opening possession 80 yards in five plays to make it 7-0, with Herbert Hughes scoring on a 15-yard-run.

The Vikings put together an 11play, 75-yard drive to make it 14-0 on

their next possession. H-F converted a fourth-and-goal from the Warriors’ 20-yard line when quarterback Bryant Wright found Justin Hall in the end zone. A Hughes 7-yard run made it 21-0 with 6:53 to play in the second quarter.

Lincoln-Way West’s defense scored on two safeties, one with 4:28 to play in the second quarter when the Vikings’ snap on a punt sailed out of the end zone. The second came with 7:03 to play in the third quarter when a host of Warriors dragged down Hughes in the end zone on a running play.

The Warriors’ lone touchdown came on a 1-yard-run by Ryan Robbins with 3:11 left in the third quarter.

H-F receiver Tyrice Richie, a Northern Illinois commit, accounted for 194 yards of total offense and one touchdown, a 77-yard reception from Wright with 9:21 to play in the third quarter. It

was H-F’s only score in the second half.

“They’re really good,” Ernst said.

“They play hard. They’re confident.

Early on in the game, I don’t know how confident we were. I think our guys realized after a series or two that they could play and hang with what is likely the best team in the state.”

The Warriors played better in the second half, surrendering one score while tallying nine points of their own.

“I told the guys at halftime to do what it takes to win the second half, and we did that,” Ernst said. “They’re an 8A team, and we’re a 7A team. Our goal never was to go 9-0. It was to get better every week and make a run in the playoffs.

“The defense is the best part of our team without question, and we feed off everything they do. I am not discouraged in any way. We go back to work

and get anything that’s broke fixed.”

Standout linebacker Trey Telez added, “That’s a very good team we played out there. I think we still have a great defense. We need to get better, but they are a great team, and they can put up points.”

“The biggest thing we did [at halftime] was pick each other up. We gained more confidence in our reads and in what we were doing out there.

In the second half, everyone kind of put it together and we had a good showing.”

West senior quarterback Cal Pohrte returned to the lineup after a one-week absence because of an injury. He completed 11 of 27 passes for 92 yards. The Warriors’ starting left guard, sophomore Nathan Mahoney, injured his right knee in the third quarter. Ernst said he likely is lost for the season.

• Sunday, September 25, 2016

JOLIET – The University of St. Francis football coaching staff decided against trying a potential game-tying field goal that would have been from about 40 yards.

The Robert Morris defense stepped up and made the stop on fourth down.

Still, the Saints – who were trailing, 31-28, with 7½ minutes remaining – had plenty of time to come back and win their home opener and homecoming game Saturday at Memorial Stadium against their Mid-States Football Association Mideast League foe. One stop, and they would be in business.

Instead, the Eagles called on 5-foot6, 160-pound senior tailback Korey Rogers time and time again. He carried 12 times on a 13-play drive that ended with his 5-yard touchdown run with 1:41 left that made it 38-28.

St. Francis (1-3, 0-2) refused to quit, scoring with 0:29 remaining on Don Butkus’ 15-yard pass to Lexus Jackson to trim the deficit to 38-35. However, Robert Morris (2-2, 1-0) recovered the onside kick, and that was it.

Rogers, a Joliet West graduate, carried 43 times Saturday, 26 in the second half, for 222 yards and two touchdowns.

“How many times? Forty-three?

That’s crazy,” said Rogers, who claims he was not tired when it ended. “I’m feeling fine because of all the offseason work I put in. I’m a little guy, but I

downs on plays of 55, 41, 65 and 6 yards – with the 6-yarder of the highlight-reel variety.

Ruffin’s first score came on a wide receiver screen where he juked a defender and raced 55 yards up the sideline. He caught Butkus’ long throws of 39 and 41 yards on consecutive plays late in the first half to produce a 14-all tie at the break.

“Our game plan was to hit some screens early and maybe break a couple long ones,” Ruffin said. “Then later, we hit some long passes.”

For that matter, Butkus may deserve player of the week consideration after completing 22 of 36 passes for a career-high 367 yards and five scores.

“We finally started throwing the ball more,” Ruffin said, smiling. “I was getting in Coach’s ear about throwing it more.”

Jackson was involved, as well. He caught six passes for 91 yards in the fourth quarter alone and closed with nine receptions for 117 yards and the one touchdown.

“They were giving us the passing game,” said Curry, whose team totaled 464 offensive yards and 19 first downs to Robert Morris’ 475 yards and 25 first downs. “I like the matchups we had on the outside with Ruffin and Lexus.

That’s something our offense can do – adapt to what the defense gives us.

“The outcome is disappointing, but I love our team and the way these guys fight. It’s going to turn for us.”

36 FOOTBALL: MORRIS 20, YORKVILLE 13

Defense keys Morris’ tight win over Yorkville

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – During the first half of Friday night’s Northern Illinois Big 12 East opener against Yorkville, the Morris football team’s offense didn’t do much in moving the ball.

Fortunately for the Redskins, their defense was able to give them a boost that fueled a hard-fought 20-13 victory.

Yorkville led, 13-0, and took over at its 39 after stopping Morris (4-1, 1-0) on downs with 1:36 to play in the first half.

Rather than run out the clock, the Foxes (1-4, 0-2) tried a deep pass, which Morris safety Michael Feeney intercepted at his 41. Feeney had a convoy of blockers set up along the left sideline and motored his way through the traffic into the end zone to pull the Redskins to within 13-6 and give them a much-needed momentum boost heading into halftime.

“Our defense was able to get it done,” Feeney said about a Redskins unit that has allowed 34 points through five games. “That play gave us some momentum for the second half, and our offensive line picked it up in the second half, and our offense was able to get going a little bit.

“It was nice to have a tough game like this and get a win.”

Yorkville opened strong, taking the opening kickoff and driving 66 yards on eight plays, capped by a 9-yard touchdown run by Austin Avery for a 6-0 lead.

Dan Voitik for Shaw Media

Morris’ Michael Feeney advances the ball against Yorkville on Friday at Morris. The Redskins defeated the Foxes, 20-13.

Yorkville scored again midway through the second quarter. After an interception by Chris Galloway gave the Foxes the ball at the Morris 49, Ty Liaromatis hit Jason Lewan with a 28yard touchdown pass for a 13-0 lead.

Liaromatis finished with 106 yards through the air, but was intercepted three times.

“Yorkville is a good team,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “They are very physical, they play hard, and all of their losses are to good teams. We really had to fight, scratch and claw

our way through this one, and that’s a credit to how tough Yorkville played.”

Morris improved its offensive production in the second half and took the lead when quarterback Ricky Del Favero ran a quarterback draw for a 25-yard touchdown, then ran in the two-point conversion to put his team ahead, 14-13, with 5:10 to play in the third quarter.

On Morris’ next drive, a pass interference penalty on Yorkville nullified an interception, and the Redskins continued to drive, reaching the end zone

on a 4-yard touchdown run by Keagan Sobol.

“We challenged the offensive line at halftime,” Thorson said. “They came out and played a lot better in the second half. That team that played in the second half is the team I thought we could be. We know we aren’t going to play a perfect game, but we were making too many mental mistakes in the first half.

“But our defense and our defensive coordinator, John Courter, did a great job of keeping us in the game, like they have all year.”

Yorkville was able to drive inside the Morris 10, but Sean Grogan stopped Trent Delaney for a loss on fourth-andgoal from the 5 before disaster nearly struck for Morris.

Sobol tried to throw a halfback option pass, but the ball was deflected to Yorkville defender Galloway, his second pick of the night, at the Redskins’ 22. Two plays later, however, Morris’ Kameron Dransfeldt picked off a pass and returned it 53 yards to the Yorkville 33. On the play, Morris was called for sideline interference, which resulted in Thorson being ejected as the Redskins already had been called for that infraction earlier.

“We had practiced against that play, and I recognized the personnel they had out there,” Dransfeldt said. “Our coaches had us prepared, and I knew what they were going to do.

“It really feels good to have a good, tough game like this and come out on top.”

FOOTBALL: LOCKPORT 42, ANDREW 16

Lockport takes another step toward playoff berth

By DENNIS NELSON Shaw Media correspondent TINLEY PARK – Offense, defense and special teams all got in on the act for Lockport during its 42-16 Southwest Suburban Conference football win Friday over winless Andrew.

The victory comes on the heels of a loss against league-leading Homewood-Flossmoor and puts Lockport (4-1, 2-1) a win away from playoff consideration.

“Last week was like a step back, and this was the week to get back into focus,” Porters junior running back Tavares Moore said. “We talked about our lack of focus and intensity on the sideline. We just brought it in the second quarter.”

Moore totaled 290 yards, Ben Davis

threw for 172 yards and four touchdowns, and Jonathan Savage returned a punt 59 yards for a touchdown during the best offensive showing of the season for Lockport, which totaled 425 yards.

“We have goals on offense, defense and special teams, and we accomplished all three,” Lockport coach Dan Starkey said. “We want to rush for 150 yards on offense, get a big special teams play, and hold them to under 100 yards on defense. I think we accomplished all three.”

Moore, a junior running back, rushed 26 times for 211 yards and a score. He added two touchdown receptions totaling 79 yards. Davis’ other touchdown passes were 12 yards to Patrick Cooper and 4 yards to Austin Hoffman.

“He’s having a great year so far,” Starkey said of Moore, who is approaching 1,000 yards rushing at the halfway point in the season. “The way he extends plays and refuses to go down is a special talent.”

“I just have to keep working and not let my stats distract me,” Moore said.

After a scoreless first quarter, Lockport erupted for 21 points in the second. Twice, Davis (8 of 22, 172 yards) hit Moore with screen passes that turned into long touchdowns during Lockport’s final two drives of the first half. The second one covered 49 yards and featured a sidestep at the Andrew 5-yard line.

“I saw an open hole,” Moore said. “I just walked into the end zone.”

The Porters’ defense held the Thun-

derbolts to 57 total yards in the first half.

Lockport scored 14 points on seven plays in the third quarter. Savage’s highlight-reel punt return made it 28-0 with 9:43 left in the third quarter. He broke five tackles, including a mob of tacklers twice, on his way to a score.

“That was an awesome run by Jon Savage,” Starkey said. “We work a lot on special teams, and Jon refused to go down.”

Defensively, Lockport nearly pitched a shutout, allowing two touchdowns in the fourth quarter after the game was well in hand.

“It was a good test on the road in the Southwest Suburban, and we played well,” Starkey said. “I knew our kids were going to fight tonight and give a good effort.”

It stayed that way until the second quarter when Deppe connected with a wide-open Macari down the middle for a 40-yard touchdown that extended the South lead to 14-0 with 2:35 left until the half.

“There was a lot of distractions this week, but coach had us focused all week,” Macari said. “We found gaps in their defense and just exploited them.”

After the Cougars’ defense forced a quick three-and-out, Deppe and Macari went to work on the Steelmen second-

ary. Deppe put the ball the only place he could for Macari, who made a leaping catch over a defender in the back of the end zone for a 22-yard touchdown that put South up, 21-0, with 0:49 left in the half.

“We have a lot of weapons on this team,” Macari said. “It is always nice to play on both sides of the ball, and I think we did a really nice job out there tonight.”

South opened the second half right where it left off the first half as Portz

scored on a 9-yard run that made it 28-0 with 9:30 left in the third quarter.

After doing all of the dirty work in the middle of the field for most of the game, Roberts was able to put a bow on the South scoring as he ran for a 19yard touchdown that put the Cougars up, 35-0, with 10:56 left to play.

“Without my linemen, I don’t know what I would do,” Roberts said. “I used my cuts in the game. I need to keep working own my cuts to get better as a running back.”

FOOTBALL: OSWEGO 42, ROMEOVILLE 22

Romeoville’s offense comes to life, but too late

By LARRY LINDHOLM Shaw Media correspondent

ROMEOVILLE – Romeoville’s offense came to life in the second half, but it was too late Friday night as the Spartans dropped a 42-22 Southwest Prairie Conference contest against Oswego.

Spartans junior quarterback Cam Neely ran 1 yard for a touchdown and threw a 28-yard scoring pass to Nolan Soper in the second half. Romeoville’s Lonnie Trent recovered an onside kick after the second touchdown and, with 3 seconds left, Soper completed the scoring when he grabbed a 3-yard scoring

pass from Neely.

Oswego (5-0, 5-0) led, 14-0, in the second quarter on Drew White’s 7-yard touchdown run and Anthony Grimes’ 1-yard run. Romeoville (0-5, 0-5) got on the board on Zead Hasan’s 31-yard field goal, and White’s 19-yard run made it 21-3 at the half.

“We had opportunities, but we shot ourselves in the foot on this drive [that ended in the field goal] and at other times during the game,” Romeoville coach Oliver Gibson said. “We cannot give teams big leads early in the game We have to learn to compete early in the first quarter.”

White ran 31 yards for another

score, and Levi Olson hit Eliot Pipkin with a 21-yard scoring pass to stretch the Panthers’ lead to 35-3 in the third quarter. After Neely’s short touchdown run for Romeoville, Charles Coleman completed the Oswego scoring with a 2-yard run that made it 42-9.

Jordan Nettles set up Neely’s touchdown with a 24-yard pass reception from Neely.

“Jordan Nettles is a relentless competitor,” Gibson said. “He will compete anytime, anywhere. He has a great football attitude, which will help him in his next step in football.

“I am very proud of the way this team fought and competed. Now we

have four weeks to show our progress, and to do that we have to limit our errors.”

Oswego coach Brian Cooney noted that his Panthers have had a tendency to start games slowly.

“We knew Romeoville had threats, and we respected their speed,” he said.

“But we have been coaching them to play as a unit to overcome this. We are growing as a team. We have made progress this week, and we will build for next week.”

Next week is huge for the Panthers as they will tangle with Oswego East in a battle of the SPC’s two unbeatens.

JOLIET – Focus and finish.

That was the message during this homecoming week that Plainfield South coach Bill Bicker wanted to get across to his Cougars team. Consider that message well-received.

Plainfield South senior wide receiver Tom Macari had four catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns, and junior running back Sayvaun Roberts rushed for 161 yards on 18 carries and scored a touchdown to lead the Cougars to a 35-0 victory Friday night over Southwest Prairie Conference foe Joliet Central.

“What we talked about was that we had yet to play four quarters of football this year, and we finally did tonight,” Bicker said.

The Cougars received significant contributions from seniors Nick Portz (four carries, 27 yards, two TDs) and quarterback Nick Deppe (4 of 12, 97 yards, two scores). Joliet Central (1-4, 1-4) was led by Jomarre McNair (nine carries, 78 yards, four catches, 20 yards).

Plainfield South (3-2, 3-2) was dominant on both sides of the ball as the Cougars racked up 352 yards of offense while limiting the Steelmen to 194.

“I thought our offensive staff did a great job all week, and we were ready to play football and did for four quarters,” Bicker said.

After a Nick Portz sack stalled the Steelmen’s opening offensive drive, he and the Cougars’ offense went to work.

South put together a 10-play, 55-yard drive that culminated with a 7-yard touchdown run by Portz for a 7-0 lead with 3:37 left in the first quarter.

38 FOOTBALL: BROTHER RICE 45, PROVIDENCE CATHOLIC 21

Providence strong for half vs. Brother Rice

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media correspondent

NEW LENOX – Three touchdowns in three minutes. Game over.

In Friday night’s Chicago Catholic Blue battle between Brother Rice, ranked No. 4 in Class 8A, and Providence Catholic, the huge homecoming throng that filled Bishop Kaffer Stadium was feeling pretty good at halftime.

The Celtic defense had turned away two Crusader drives in the last five minutes of the half to preserve the 14all tie. In addition to homecoming festivities, the historic three-consecutive state baseball championship teams were honored at halftime.

Then the Crusaders, in a matter of three minutes, showed why they are ranked so highly. After the opening kickoff of the second half, Aarion Lacy raced 70 yards for a 21-14 Rice lead. Two minutes later, Illinois-bound wide receiver Ricky Smalling (six catches, 68 yards), hauled in a 30-yard touchdown pass from Dino Borrelli (12 of 22, 201 yards, three touchdowns). A minute later, Lacy intercepted a Jared Drake pass and returned it 35 to stretch the lead to 35-14. The final score eventually would be Brother Rice 45, Providence 21.

Providence (2-3, 0-2) took the opening kickoff and marched 80 yards on seven plays, capped by homecoming king Richie Warfield’s 20-yard touch-

down run. Eduardo Favela’s conversion made it 7-0 Celtics with 8:46 left in the first quarter.

Brother Rice scored on Borrelli’s 56yard pass to Brandon Houston (four catches, 99 yards, two TDs) and a 73yard run by Xazavian Valladay (14 carries, 185 yards) for a 14-7 lead in the second quarter. The Celtics needed only a

minute to tie the game on Warfield’s second touchdown from 8 yards out. A 32-yard pass from Drake to Nico Planeta was the key play on the five-play, 60-yard Celtic drive.

The Crusaders upped their lead to 42-14 after three quarters on a 32-yard TD pass form Borrelli to Houston.

Celtics backup quarterback Caden Kalinowski completed 5 of 8 passes for 75 yards. He also rushed for 34 yards on two carries and scored the final touchdown on a 3-yard run. Warfield rushed for 120 yards on 20 carries and caught two passes for 11 yards.

“We played well in the first half, and yet we left some points on the field,” Warfield said. “Against a good team like Brother Rice, we had to execute better. We just didn’t do what we had to do to get this victory.”

Drake completed 9 of his 16 passes for 91 yards and rushed for 61 yards on 14 carries. After catching six passes last week at St. Ignatius, Lucas Weaver hauled in six more for 82 yards.

The Celtics will host Lake Forest Academy on Friday before closing the season at Fenwick, at defending Class 8A state champion Loyola and at home against Mount Carmel.

“We have to come out and play well against Lake Forest,” Coglianese said.

“We will have to then win two of our final three games against three very good football teams. If we can pull it off, we will be a very difficult out in the state tournament.”

FOOTBALL: LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 54, THORNRIDGE 21

Lincoln-Way Central hands Thornridge its first loss

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media correspondent DOLTON – Football isn’t checkers.

There’s adrenalin all over a field, sparks sometimes leading to conflagrations.

It’s difficult to tell with Lincoln-Way Central. The Knights go about their business efficiently, if not carefully.

Four quarters go by, however, and the opposing team has lost everything but its wallets.

That was the case Friday night, when the Knights visited Thornridge, which hadn’t opened a season 4-0 since 2009. Hopes were high on the Falcon sideline for a fifth straight victory.

The hosts gained 1 yard on the first series. While they would get untracked thereafter and eventually outgain the Knights, that was a Pyrrhic victory, for the scoreboard read Lincoln-Way Central 54, Thornridge 21.

Central’s calmness in the maelstrom comes from coach Jeremy Cordell, quarterback Hunter Campbell said.

“He keeps us in check,” Campbell said. “He tells us all the time how he loves chippiness, loves aggression.

But with aggression you have to have control. With chippiness comes selfishness.”

There was only one instance of that, when defender Brandon Geagan rode Oliver McCall Jr. out of bounds into the middle of the Thornridge bench in the first quarter. That brush fire was quickly doused, and the Knights went about the business of getting their fourth win in five starts, and second in three SWSC outings.

That’s why Cordell held up an open hand to his players after the game. A fifth victory, with the IHSA’s point system, virtually guarantees a playoff berth.

Campbell (6 of 8, 153 yards, two touchdowns, one interception) was the model of efficiency, aided by linemen Nolan Nelson, Joe Fulkerson, Danny Jones, Mario Rodriguez and Eric Hypke.

They led not only to Campbell’s night – plus the time Zack Stoklosa needed for a 38-yard touchdown pass to Matt Pollock midway through the second quarter – but for 114 yards rushing, all but 2 yards accumulated in the first half. Mitch Hosman, whose 59-yard gambol to the end zone broke a 7-all tie, was among the beneficiaries.

The Knights were outgained, 367305, by Thornridge (4-1, 1-1), but that didn’t tell the story. The running game punched in the first three Central scores. Peyton Nigro, on a 2-yard plunge; Hosman, on the 59-yard burst with a pair of blockers escorting him; and Pollack, from the 9, all more than made up for the lone Thornridge score

of the quarter.

That tied the game, briefly, at 7.

Then Campbell went to work, picking on the outmatched Falcons secondary for two touchdown passes in the second quarter. He hit Thomas Kocenko with a 48-yard strike for a 28-7 lead and Devin Smith for a 12-yard score on the next possession.

In all, the Knights scored on their first six possessions. When Sean Reyna returned the second-half kickoff 95 yards for a score, the outcome was clear.

“It was one of our best weeks of practice, and I believe that’s how you grow,” Cordell said. “It doesn’t matter who you play or what the records are. It’s what you do. Our kids embraced that this week. The best part of tonight was our kids answered the challenge from the get-go.”

Central’s sophomores won, 41-0.

Minooka rolls in Plainfield Central turf debut

By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media correspondent

PLAINFIELD – Minooka christened Plainfield Central’s new turf field with a 56-28 victory Friday night in a Southwest Prairie Conference football game.

The Indians (3-2, 3-2), behind five touchdown passes by John Carnagio, built a 28-0 lead early in the second quarter and never looked back. Carnagio, who had 383 yards passing and touchdown passes of 65, 50, 19, 31 and 62 yards, was quick to credit his receivers.

“We were running simple routes, and I was just getting the ball out quick to them,” Carnagio said. “It may say that I had five touchdown passes, but it was the yards after the catch that made it happen.

“Our mindset this week was to come out and be physical. Last week, we didn’t match their [Plainfield North’s]

level of play. This was a good win, but we still have things to work on.”

Minooka junior wide receiver Maxwell Christiano caught seven passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns.

“Being on the varsity and having John [Carnagio] throw me the ball is pretty special,” Christiano said. “I never had a game like this ever at any level.”

Isaiah Hill added three catches, all for touchdowns, for 146 yards.

Late in the fourth quarter, Minooka’s Zachary Gessner threw a screen pass to Owen Kapple that went 85 yards for a score, giving Minooka six touchdown passes total and 468 yards through the air. The Indians added 88 yards rushing, with Elijah Williams gaining 78 on 16 carries and scoring twice.

“This was a good way to come back after last week,” Minooka coach Paul Forsythe said. “Tonight, we got the ball in the hands of our skilled people, and

the yards after the catch were big for us.

“We did a good job with our running game, Elijah [Williams] had a good game, and the offensive line did a great job. Our defense spent a lot of time on the field, and they are young, but that was because of the explosive plays we had offensively. We were worried coming in about Central’s quarterback [Marcus Hayes] and running back [Lovell Houston Jr]. Both did a very good job running the ball. They never quit and kept coming at us.”

Houston Jr. led Central (0-5, 0-5) with 169 yards on 23 carries and had two touchdowns. He scampered 87 yards for a score with 4:48 left in the third quarter. Hayes added 76 rushing yards and threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jared Ellingwood.

Doug Cleaves had two carries for 77 yards. One was a 73-yard dash to the end zone with 7 seconds remaining. The Wildcats totaled 342 yards on

the ground.

“Our offensive line did a good job, and they are getting better each week,” Central coach Jon Pereiro said. “Lovell was our game captain, and he ran the ball well. He deserves the credit. He is a grinder. He does whatever is asked of him.

“This team never gives up, and I credit our captains and the seniors for that. Late in the third quarter and fourth, we put together some very good drives. Those kids saw that they could compete with Minooka, and they did.”

Pereiro also had a big thank-you for the new turf facility and high-tech scoreboard.

“I would like to thank everyone in District 202 from the superintendent to the board and everyone involved getting this facility,” he said. “It is so nice.

This is such a great addition on campus, and will help not only the football program, but every team and every student who goes to school here.”

WOODSTOCK – Struggling to get its offense rolling since its first play from scrimmage, Marian Central running back Brian Niemaszek dug in behind his offensive line and propelled his team to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.

Niemaszek finished with 121 yards rushing Friday in Marian Central’s 2815 East Suburban Catholic Conference win over Joliet Catholic.

For the Hilltoppers (0-5, 0-3), it was another missed opportunity. With a fifth loss, Joliet Catholic will miss the playoffs for the first time since 1997 and the fourth time since the playoffs began in 1974.

The teams entered the fourth quarter even at 7 before the Hurricanes (3-2, 1-2) produced their best drive – a 69-yard possession capped by Niemaszek’s 7-yard touchdown run.

Marian Central’s defense came up with three turnovers in the second half, including an interception from linebacker Riley Lambert on the next possession. Sam Limbaugh blocked a punt, and Wyatt Awe came up with a late interception.

“We just wanted to have fun tonight,” Marian Central coach Mike Maloney said. “For the first time all

After that first play, the Hilltoppers’ defense kept Marian Central stuck on seven points until the fourth quarter.

JCA’s Michael Butler scored on a 19yard touchdown run minutes before halftime to even the score.

“We had chances in the first half, and we had chances at the end,” Hilltoppers coach Dan Sharp said. “They were able to execute better in the second half than we executed. When you ask your defense to keep going out there defending the short field, sooner or later it’s going to sting you.”

Once Niemaszek scored, Marian Central added two more scores in quick succession. Scott found freshman Patsy Ricciardi on a 14-yard pass, and Niemaszek ran in from 20 yards out.

JCA scored in the final minute on Keenan Hailey’s 79-yard run. He finished with 109 yards on nine attempts.

Ke’von Johnson ran for 72 yards on 14 carries. Quarterback Pat Roth was 12 of 24 passing for 127 yards and two interceptions.

“We’ve got to work to get better,” Sharp said. “A lot of young guys are getting experience this year. That was a well-played football game; it just got away a little bit at the end. We’ve just got to do a better job of attacking them, just the fundamentals of football, sustaining blocks, driving to tackles.“

40 FOOTBALL: OSWEGO EAST 21, PLAINFIELD NORTH 14

Oswego East 5-0 after beating Plainfield North “Both teams were very physical, and there was a lot of hitting going on, and they just made one more play than what we did.”

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – When two football opponents are averaging 46.4 points between them, most would expect to see a high-scoring affair.

But while Friday’s Southwest Prairie Conference game between Oswego East and Plainfield North featured a few offensive highlights, the two defenses set the tone.

The Wolves kept the Tigers scoreless in the first half and allowed only one touchdown until the late going as they captured a 21-14 victory to move to 5-0 for the first time in their history.

Next week, East (5-0, 5-0) hosts Oswego (5-0, 5-0) in a showdown of SPC leaders.

Rushing yards were difficult to come by for both squads. East finished with 59 yards rushing on 32 carries, while North (3-2, 3-2) had 64 rushing yards on 30 attempts.

“Their defense played hard and pursued so well to the ball,” Tigers coach Tim Kane said. “Offensively, we didn’t play as consistently as we needed to, and some of that was on us. I really thought that our defense played well.

We had a couple of huge stops and made some big plays to get the ball back.

“Both teams were very physical, and there was a lot of hitting going on, and they just made one more play than what we did. We’ve had some explosive plays, but they really limited those.

But a big credit to our kids for playing against a quality team like that and being down and not folding. Our kids kept battling and fighting, and that says a lot about their character.”

Hoosman had 21 rushes for 39 yards in Plainfield North’s 21-14 loss to Oswego East. the opening kickoff into Tigers’ territory. Two plays later, Ivory Kelly-Martin (18 for 59 rushing, 4 for 79 receiving) ran in from 33 yards out to put East up, 7-0.

East struggled on its next five series, punting on the first four before fumbling at North’s 37-yard line with 7:21 left in the second quarter. On the next play, the Tigers were at East’s 16 after TJ Kane (six receptions, 60 yards) tossed a 47-yard pass to Connor Peplow (fie catches, 69 yards).

But the Wolves’ defense stiffened

and limited Tyler Hoosman (21 rushes, 39 yards) to nine yards on four carries to get the ball on downs at its 7 with 5:17 remaining in the half.

On the next play, Jaylon Banks (10 of 21, 205 yards) threw a ball over the middle to a wide-open Colin O’Reilly, who took it the remaining distance for a 93-yard score, which made it 14-0 with 5:04 left in the opening half.

East looked as if it might score before the break after taking over at North’s 30. It got to the 2, but Kelly-Martin was tackled for a loss on a

fourth down play by Rob Ostapkowicz.

While the Wolves were struggling offensively, the Tigers were having even more difficulties in the first half.

They punted five times and turned the ball over twice on downs.

In the final half, the Wolves punted four times and had a pass intercepted while the Tigers punted twice, lost the ball on downs twice and had a pass picked off.

North had its best series late in the third quarter when Brady Miller (17 of 35, 122 yards) capped a 10-play drive with a 12-yard scoring pass to Ryan Krzystofiak with 4:11 left in the quarter to make it 14-7.

In the final quarter, East got to North’s 2 following a 63-yard screen pass to Kelly-Martin; but after a sack, Banks was intercepted in the end zone

by Dillon McCarthy.

But on the next series, a bad snap on a punt gave East the ball at North’s 20.

Six plays later, Banks tossed a 7-yard pass to Kelly-Martin to make it 21-7 with 6:22 remaining.

After North saw a series stopped when Kijana Caldwell picked off a pass at his 9, the Tigers ended the scoring with 1:25 left when Miller sneaked in from a yard out.

Wilmington’s quick start too much for Seneca

By MARK JOHNSON Shaw Media correspondent

Mark Johnson for Shaw Media

Wilmington coach Jeff Reents (center) addresses his team after the Wildcats beat Seneca, 43-6, Friday night for the 200th victory in Reents’ Wilmington career.

“If you want a model of consistency in everything, as far as character, intensity, preparation, Xs and Os, he’s been the same, and it’s actually amazing, because to go that hard for that long is impressive.”

Bob Bolser Wilmington varsity assistant football coach so hard,” O’Boyle said. “And they execute their scheme so well. … It looks like they’ve been running it since they were third-, fourth-, fifth-grade kids. It’s about the adjustments that you make, and they have an answer for almost everything you do defensively.”

Reents was presented with a game ball by his players after the 200th win. The occasion was made extra special by the fact that Dan Darlington and Keith Laughary, who coached Reents when he played at Morris, were in attendance.

Otherwise, Reents said the milestone was not one he planned to dwell on for a considerable amount of time.

“Honestly, I’m already on to Lisle,” he said of next week’s opponent.

SENECA – Wilmington defeated Seneca, 43-6, Friday night for its 45th straight Interstate Eight Conference Small football victory, its 15th straight defeat of the Fighting Irish and its 200th win under coach Jeff Reents.

Without getting the ball first, the Wildcats (5-0, 3-0) needed 4:04 of game time to score three touchdowns and slightly less than eight minutes to score four.

“We came out of the chutes unbelievably,” Reents said. “[Twenty] points in just over [four] minutes or something like that. Whenever you get turnovers like that, [it’s] huge.”

Seneca’s first offensive play was a halfback pass that Tyler Holcomb intercepted and returned 22 yards. The Wildcats’ first play was a 31-yard touchdown run by Owen Weaver.

The next Seneca series resulted in a punt attempt that never was, as a bad snap forced punter Sammy Mitchell to go down with the ball at the Irish 4. Dustin Kelly plunged into the end zone from there on the next play.

Facing a third-and-9 on the next series, Seneca quarterback Hunter Greve had his pass attempt picked by Holcomb, who raced 46 yards to the end zone. The Wildcats at that point had three scores and had run two offensive plays.

“We were going to have to be able to do some things – we had to hit that play early (the halfback pass), and we didn’t,” Seneca coach Ted O’Boyle said. “We didn’t get any stops early. It’s what they do to you. … They’re there for a reason. They’ve proven it time and time and time again.”

Wilmington forced another three-and-out to set up a 9-yard Weaver touchdown run later in the first quarter.

It added a 25-yard Alex Hatten field goal and a 4-yard Weaver scoring run before halftime. The running clock went into effect on Holcomb’s 35-yard touchdown carry early in the third quarter.

From there, Seneca (3-2, 1-2) was the dominant team against the Wildcats’ reserves. The Irish put together a long scoring drive on which Mason Dooley rushed nine times for 67 yards, including a 3-yard plunge into the end zone.

“I know they’re a little bit down with their numbers, but I thought their kids played hard,” Reents said of the Irish. “Overall, good team win – real happy that we got everybody in the game. We got another conference win, so we got a big game next week with Lisle.”

First place in the Small will be on the line when the Wildcats travel to Lisle next Friday.

Seneca will also have an important road game when it faces Reed-Custer in a battle of teams that will come in 3-2.

• Sunday, September 25, 2016

SENECA – Wilmington football fans may be forgiven if they take coach Jeff Reents for granted.

After all, Reents has been a constant for the Wildcats since 1994, and so have the wins. Since going 3-6 in 1994, Reents never has had a losing season – a feat he ensured will continue Friday night when the Wildcats defeated Seneca, 43-6, for their fifth win of the season and the 200th of Reents’ career.

Reents now is more than halfway to the state record for career coaching wins, and he is up to 35th in career wins at one school. On Friday, he admitted that his ascent up those lists may not continue for all that much longer.

“You give up a lot of family time, and that’s always a concern of mine,” Reents said. “Right now, we’re a year-to-year deal. I always get done after each year and talk with the family, see where we’re at, and if it’s something we want to do, we’ll do it, but the end’s coming.

“Twenty-three years is long time.”

There were times during that first season that Reents wondered how he would make it through one season, let alone 23 of them. He had no idea he would be in it for the kind of long haul that it has turned out to be, and no expectations of the levels of success – including a 2014 Class 3A state championship, eight straight Interstate Eight Conference Small titles and a winning percentage of nearly .800 – that his Wildcats have achieved.

“When we took it over, they were 0-9 (in 1993),” Reents said. “I think we had 18 kids out. We’re just trying to do anything, meaning get a full team at practice to scrimmage.”

Bob Bolser, a varsity assistant who has been with Reents since the beginning, said it is no accident that Reents built the program from those depths into the behemoth it is today.

“If you want a model of consistency in everything, as far as character, intensity, preparation, Xs and Os, he’s been the same,” Bolser said, “and it’s actually amazing, because to go that hard for that long is impressive.”

Along with the “extremely talented” players who have come through Wilmington over the years, Reents is quick to credit his staff – which includes Bolser, Barry Southall, Rob Murphy, Chad Farrell and Drew Tyler – for his success.

Bolser said the staff would not be as effective were it not for the freedom with which Reents allows it to operate.

“He allows his coaches to be creative,” Bolser said. “He allows his coaches to run their teams.

He has the final say on everything, of course, but he pretty much tells you, ‘Hey, you run your special teams. Coach Southall – he’s been with us this whole time, too – you run the offense. Coach Murphy, you run the line, and I’ll take care of the defense.’ And it’s been that way for 23 years.”

Ted O’Boyle has been the coach at Seneca only since 2012, but when he coached at Flanagan-Cornell before taking over the Fighting Irish, O’Boyle was an admirer from afar of Reents and the Wildcats. That respect has only grown as O’Boyle has watched Wilmington dominate the I-8 Small up close.

42 SOCCER: LOCKPORT 1, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 0

Lockport scores late to edge Lincoln-Way C.

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

NEW LENOX – One squad was coming off perhaps its biggest victory of the year, while the other was preparing for one of its most important matches of the season.

But those circumstances in no way took anything away from Saturday’s nonconference boys soccer contest between Lockport and Lincoln-Way Central.

Although the Porters play Sunday in a PepsiCo Showdown finals against Fenwick at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and the Knights had just rallied for a win at Stagg on Thursday, both sides battled throughout in an effort to walk away victorious Saturday.

And while it began to look as if the squads might settle for a scoreless draw, Lockport was able to convert on a set piece in the 74th minute to pull out a 1-0 win.

“It was a scrappy game, and they were very aggressive in the first half, but it’s hard to do that for a whole game,” Porters coach Chris Beal said.

“We play high-pressure system, too, so the game opened up – and when it

opens up like that, the chances will come. I thought it would be a goal out of open play that was going to win it, but it’s nice to get a set piece because we’re not always as productive as we should be off set pieces.

“We really wanted to win this game because of seeding for the sectional, and we want to keep the ball rolling.

If you win a game before you play in a championship, it keeps your confidence. Now they just have to try to recover as quickly as possible. It will be a good experience for the boys, and they’re excited about it.”

In the 73rd minute, the Porters (73-3) got a corner kick, and Drake Silver’s attempt went off a defender, giving him another opportunity on the other side. This time, he placed the ball in front of the net, and Nick Calderaro headed it in.

“The first half was really frustrating since we weren’t playing as a team,” Calderaro said. “But then we talked during halftime and came together and actually started playing and talking to each other. We had to focus on this game and then be prepared for Sunday’s game. We’ve started winning games and have kept up the momentum and keep fighting in

every game. We’ve never made it this far in the Pepsi tournament before, so it’s pretty cool.”

Both sides looked to their defenses to keep the other at bay while they awaited an elusive goal. Charlie Garcia, Thomas Inczauskis, Ainis Lapinskas and Jacob Podczerwinski played in advance of Porter keeper Dominic Wistocki while Sean Curran, Josh Davis, Ian Fugett and Sawyer Hobbs manned the Knights’ backline in front of Taylor Budzinski.

The Knights (4-5) were hoping to build off their big road win, which was their third in a row. The early goal they allowed against Stagg was the only one yielded during that stretch.

‘Back-and-forth type of day’

“They do a great job of defending and winning balls in the air, and they’re big and physical, and they run at you,” Knights coach Sean Fahey said of the Porters. “We’re similar in that regard, so we knew that it would be a back-and-forth type of day. Good chances were pretty scarce. You let Lockport off the hook a little bit, and you’re going to pay for it. They earned it.

“This was our fourth game in six

days, and that’s a lot to ask, and the Stagg game was an 80-minute war.

I’m hard on these guys, because when you get to the postseason, it will be your mental toughness that gets you through. These guys’ chemistry on and off the field keeps us in games.

They feed off of each other, so if the soccer is on point, watch out.”

In the opening half, Dan Blaszkiewicz, Silver and Eric Keta had chances for the Porters, while Hobbs, Ben Zuraitis and Mitchell Allen got opportunities for the Knights.

Early in the final half, an apparent Central goal following a throw-in was disallowed by an offsides call. Shortly after the midpoint, Calderaro and Lapinskas were both thwarted, as was a Hobbs header off a long free kick by Nick Camaioni.

“We’ve worked our butts off in the last few games,” Central’s David Cedillo said. “Stagg was a huge win for us, and on paper they’re the better team, but we matched their enthusiasm on their senior night. We came out tough in the first half today, but they came out a little tougher in the second half. I’m proud of our team since everybody is always pushing and working.”

get the ball in,” Smith said.

West (3-2, 3-2) finished with 373 total yards and 21 first downs while limiting Plainfield East (2-3, 2-3) to 139 yards and seven first downs, only four after the Bengals’ first possession. Defensive end Julius Garrett, linebacker Marcus Blackmon and safety Arthur Hart had big defensive games for West.

Linebacker Jonathan Pullen intercepted a pass.

“Our defense is playing lights out,” Aubry said.

“This game is what we had pictured in our minds that this season could be, our offense moving the ball and our defense putting it to teams,” West coach Jason Aubry said. “We were almost there last week [in a victory over Romeoville], but we didn’t finish drives.

We did a better job finishing in this one.”

West ran 16 plays for 10 or more yards; East managed only three. Bengals regular quarterback Matthew Pratscher did not play in the second half after getting hit on the shoulder late in the first half.

“He’ll be OK,” Romeli said. “He just landed on his throwing shoulder, so

we said we’d take him out and play it safe.”

Sophomore Zane Phipps played the second half and hit 3 of 8 passes for 56 yards, including a 41-yard completion to Billy Pierce and a 15-yarder to Khalen Young. Pratscher went 4 for 8 for 33 yards with an interception. East’s ground threat, Elijah Hickman, managed 48 yards in 20 carries, a 2.4 average.

“We finally got a shutout,” Smith said. “That’s been one of our goals.

This helps our morale as a team.”

The speedy Ferguson had a 25-yard reception on West’s first possession, which ended with a lost fumble. On the second possession, he set up the first touchdown when he took a screen pass 34 yards to the East 8-yard line.

The next time West had the ball, Ferguson caught the touchdown pass from Vonch, and his 30-yard reception on a slant set up the final score in the first half.

“In recent weeks, our game plan wasn’t really around [Ferguson],” Jaxon Aubry said. “But he was a main guy tonight. We just have so many playmakers.”

• Sunday, September 25, 2016

JOLIET – The difference in Friday night’s Southwest Prairie matchup at Joliet West came down to the Tigers having more playmakers than Plainfield East.

West scored three first-half touchdowns, and the Tigers’ defense dominated the Bengals’ offense throughout a 25-0 Southwest Prairie Conference homecoming victory.

“They’re big and physical in both lines and have good speed. They took it to us,” East coach Mike Romeli said.

“At this point, we do not have the playmakers to step up like they do.

“We played OK, but we couldn’t get the big play. That’s the name of the game in high school football – in football on any level, for that matter.”

West sophomore quarterback Jaxon Aubry – using quick passes, including the bubble screen, to get the ball into the hands of playmaking teammates – completed 17 of 20 passes for 227 yards.

“The first play of the game, everyone has butterflies,” Aubry said. “But after you get into it and complete a few

passes, you start feeling unstoppable.

That’s how it was tonight.”

The West passing game had another key element, as wide receiver Alec Vonch took a toss into the flat from Aubry and hit wide receiver Omari Ferguson with a 22-yard touchdown pass on a fourth-and-1 play to make it 13-0 early in the second quarter.

“Jaxon placed the ball in a nice spot for me,” Vonch said. “I saw the defense come in, and I knew I just had to get it to him [Ferguson].”

Ferguson grabbed six passes for 127 yards, including four for 112 in the first half. T.J. Neal caught four for 46, Johnny Holman four for 29 and Vonch three for 38.

“I owe it all to my blockers and receivers,” Aubry said.

The Tigers’ running game came to life as Ezekiel Tullock rushed for 75 yards in 14 carries, and Kendrick Roach carried five times for 36 yards and two touchdowns. Josh Durrly tacked on 40 yards in seven fourth-quarter carries, and regular linebacker Andrew Smith scored from a yard out when he was inserted in the goal-line offense.

44 WHITE SOX 8, INDIANS 1

MLB

Indians fall to White Sox, don’t lower magic number The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Indians blew some early scoring chances against Jose Quintana and lost, 8-1, to the White Sox on Saturday night, keeping them from getting closer to an AL Central title.

The Indians’ magic number dropped to two after Detroit lost earlier to Kansas City. They could have lowered it to one, but now have to win their home finale Sunday and hope the Tigers lose again for Cleveland to clinch the division in front of its fans.

Melky Cabrera and Jose Abreu hit RBI singles in the first off Cody Anderson (2-5), and Todd Frazier connected for his 39th homer in the sixth as the Sox snapped a six-game losing streak.

Quintana (13-11) gave up one run in six innings and beat Cleveland for the second time in 11 days.

The Indians committed three errors, threw two wild pitches and had a passed ball as their first Central championship since 2007 stayed just

out of reach.

With his rotation in disarray because of injuries, Indians manager Terry Francona started Anderson and used seven relievers – hardly an ideal situation for a team trying to lock down a postseason berth.

The Indians, however, wasted opportunities against Quintana – he threw 53 pitches in the first two innings – and the left-hander got better as the game progressed.

Cleveland loaded the bases in the first and second innings, but only managed to score one run on an RBI single by Rajai Davis. Coco Crisp didn’t help matters by getting thrown out rounding second on Davis’ hit.

Anderson gave up two runs before recording his first out as the Sox jumped on the right-hander, who was only going to pitch a few innings anyway.

Cabrera hit an RBI double and Abreu followed with a run-scoring single off Anderson, prompting Francona to get a reliever up in the bullpen sooner than planned.

CARDINALS 10, CUBS 4

Cubs not necessarily looking forward to Cards in October The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – With Saturday’s 10-4 rout of the Cubs, the St. Louis Cardinals have split 18 games this year against the best team in the major leagues.

If the Cardinals reach the playoffs and win the wild-card game, they would return to Wrigley Field for the start of the NL Division Series.

“They’re very good offensively.

They can match up out of the bullpen,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “They have a lot of veterans on the team, guys who have been there, done that. They’re very formidable, I think.”

Yadier Molina drove in four runs and Stephen Piscotty homered as the Cardinals got to Jason Hammel early. Randal Grichuk added three RBIs and Jhonny Peralta had three hits and scored three runs for the Cardinals.

“The records and all that don’t mean that much,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “We’ve got a whole lot of fighting left to do.”

Hammel (15-10) allowed six runs and six hits while getting just seven outs, hurting his bid for a postseason rotation spot. A day after clinching the NL’s best record, the Cubs were denied their 99th win and a record 57th at Wrigley Field.

Dexter Fowler finished a home run shy of the cycle, Ben Zobrist had a two-run triple and Willson Contreras homered in the ninth for the Cubs, who are 3-6 at home against St. Louis and 53-17 against other teams.

“They’re obviously the best team in the league,” Molina said. “We respect that. But at the same time we come here thinking about winning.”

Alex Reyes (4-1) needed 115 pitches to get through five innings. But the rookie settled down after a tough start and allowed three runs and six hits with six strikeouts.

The right-hander’s solid previous outing renewed talk he could supplant John Lackey as the No. 4 playoff starter. But Hammel saw his ERA rise from 3.56 to 3.83 after Maddon’s early hook.

they fell behind 14-0. The Duke defense set up the final touchdown when it sacked DeShone Kizer for a 7-yard loss at the 5-yard line and Deondre Singleton intercepted a pass at the Notre Dame 45.

The Irish defense continued to struggle, giving up 30 or more points against Power Five teams for the seventh time in their last nine games. The student section chanted “Fire VanGorder,” referring to defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said the coaching of the defense is one of the few areas he wasn’t disappointed in, saying he doesn’t think it was a factor in the outcome. He said Duke was grittier and more determined than the Irish, who opened the season ranked No. 10.

“I told our guys, essentially, that we’re going in the wrong direction. We’re not going to continue to go in this direction.”

DeKALB – Sean McGuire threw for 315 yards and a touchdown, the Western Illinois defense came up with two late stops, and the FCS Leathernecks upset Northern Illinois, 2823, Saturday.

Western Illinois (3-0) snapped a 15-game losing streak against FBS teams. The Leathernecks are 7-29 against FBS foes – with all their wins against the Mid-American Conference.

Northern Illinois quarterback Anthony Maddie was stopped short on fourth-and-2 at the Leathernecks’ 19-yard line with 2:50 left. On the Huskies’ next drive, Maddie’s pass attempt on fourth-and-3 at the Leathernecks’ 9-yard line was deflected and fell incomplete to preserve the win.

Steve McShane’s 11-yard touchdown run put the Leathernecks on top, and Jamie Gilmore’s 1-yard plunge made it 14-0 with a minute remaining in the first quarter.

Maddie and Ryan Graham combined to pass for 251 yards and two scores for Northern Illinois (0-4), which has lost seven straight dating to last season.

It was the first meeting between the two schools since 2009.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – AJ Reed kicked a 19-yard field goal with 84 seconds left as Duke rallied back from an early two-touchdown deficit to beat Notre Dame, 38-35, Saturday.

Reed had missed all three of his field goal attempts this season before kicking the game winner.

Duke coach David Cutcliffe, who opted to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the 19 early in the fourth quarter and failed, said he didn’t hesitate to let Reed attempt the field goal, saying the team had confidence in him.

“That unit there, they believe in him and he’s got a lot of talent. I know when it came down there at the end – the field goal – there was no doubt in my mind he was going to make it,” he said.

Reed said he knew his teammates were behind him.

“They were all telling me that they had my back and that they knew I was going to get it done for them,” he said.

Daniel Jones threw for three touchdowns, including a 64-yard scoring pass to Anthony Nash midway through the fourth quarter to tie the score as Duke beat the Irish for just the second time. The first win was in their first meeting, a 9-7 victory in Durham, North Carolina, in 1958. Jones was 24 of 32 passing for 290 yards and Duke rushed for 208 yards.

“I think we were, as a team, executing at such a high level. We weren’t perfect by any stretch, but overall, we were executing more consistently than we had been,” Jones said.

With DeVon Edwards out with what likely is a season-ending knee injury suffered on Notre Dame’s first kickoff, Shaun Wilson returned a kickoff 96 yards for a score to spark the Blue Devils (2-2) after

EVANSTON – Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw for 246 yards and ran for a career-high 132 to lead No. 20 Nebraska to a 24 -13 victory over Northwestern on Saturday night in the Big Ten opener for both teams.

The Cornhuskers (4-0) remained unbeaten coming off a tight win over Oregon that vaulted them into the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since December 2014.

They lost two fumbles near the Northwestern goal line in the first half, but scored two touchdowns in the third quarter to stretch their lead from three to 11.

The Wildcats (1-3) matched their loss total from last year when they went 10-3.

Armstrong went 18 of 29, hitting Alonzo Moore with a 59-yarder in the first half and throwing a 4-yard touchdown strike to Cethan Carter that made it 17-7 early in the third after Aaron Williams intercepted Clayton Thorson’s pass in the end zone.

Austin Carr had another big game for Northwestern with 109 yards receiving and a touchdown, giving him at least one scoring catch in three straight games.

48 BEARS AT COWBOYS

Bears will have to make it a slugfest

LAKE FOREST – Bears fans really need to stop acting as if this is Chuck Noll’s Steelers or Jimmy Johnson’s Cowboys the Bears will be facing Sunday night in Dallas.

The Cowboys team the Bears will face in the palace Jerry built is a mediocre football team that also lost its home opener BEARS to another INSIDER average NFC “Least” team Hub had to Arkush and come back late to beat a dysfunctional Washington team.

Are the Cowboys more talented than this incredibly depleted Bears team? On offense, they are; on defense, they are not.

But let’s start with Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. He has been impressive to date with his poise and ability to avoid bonehead rookie mistakes. Surprisingly, he has not yet demonstrated his great athletic ability and knack for creating plays on the ground, so beware there.

But at the end of the day, his key numbers – 62.7 percent completion

percentage, 6.9 average yards a pass, no touchdowns, 0 INTs and an 83.1 passer rating – are really good for a rookie starting his first two games in the league, but really mediocre for an NFL starting quarterback.

He’s a guy you can beat.

Rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott should scare the heck out of you, but, again, through two games, he’s averaging 3.3 yards on 41 carries with two TDs and two costly fumbles to match.

As a team, the Cowboys are averaging 30 carries a game and 3.4 a carry because their NFL-best offensive line has been average – weak in the opener, very impressive in Washington.

Not only was Eddie Goldman the Bears’ best defensive lineman before going down Monday, other than Akiem Hicks, he’s the only Bears defensive llineman with the strength and bulk to stack the Cowboys’ front at the line of scrimmage.

Hicks must lead, Will Sutton will have to be Superman stepping in on the nose, and some combination of Jonathan Anderson, Nick Kwiatkowski and, perhaps, Christian Jones will have to play the games of their lives

stepping in for Danny Trevathan at inside linebacker.

Through two weeks, receiver Dez Bryant has been mortal, tight end Jason Witten has been old and receiver Cole Beasley is Prescott’s favorite target.

The Bears secondary has been better than expected, but the concussions of Adrian Amos and Bryce Callahan are huge question marks.

Honestly, Callahan would be missed more than Amos, but either or both being out really stresses the unit.

Still, a standoff there is not an unreasonable expectation if cornerback Tracy Porter shadows Bryant the way he did DeAndre Hopkins.

The Cowboys have one player on defense who scares you, Sean Lee at linebacker, and he always is an injury waiting to happen.

Clearly the Bears are not better with Brian Hoyer at quarterback than with Jay Cutler, but Hoyer is a proven NFL starter who can handle this, if the Bears pound the ball on the ground.

Benson Mayowa and Tyrone Crawford are the Cowboys’ backup defensive end and starting three-technique who’ll start in place of the suspended

DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory – who themselves aren’t all that good. And if the Bears don’t repeatedly attack the edges with running backs Jeremy Langford and Jordan Howard, somebody should be fired.

Justin Durant, likely to move ahead of Anthony Hitchens in the middle this week, and Andrew Gachkar on the other side of Lee are just guys at linebacker.

The Giants (Rashad Jennings) and Washington (Matt Jones) didn’t challenge the Dallas run defense because they didn’t play to their strengths.

The Bears have to make it play to their strength.

The only significant edge in any of these matchups goes to the Dallas offensive line, which is what makes this so tough for the Bears, because the winner here is most likely to be the team willing to make it a slugfest, stay on the ground no matter how long it takes and win the war in the trenches.

100 percent appreciation Jason Kuriger knows importance of giving back

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Jill Carter read the letter Jason Kuriger dropped off at Chaney Monge School in Crest Hill and took a chance.

Carter’s car needed a mechanic.

Kuriger, the owner of a Mr. Transmission/Milex automotive repair shop in Crest Hill, offered a Teacher Loyalty Program, which meant a 15 percent discount on most services.

She found the service to be friendly and reliable. No slick pushes for unnecessary repairs. Free rides to and from work when her car is in the shop.

No messes left inside the car. Reasonable prices.

“I can trust him when he says, ‘You need this’ and ‘Yeah, this will wait,” said Carter, a reading interventionist at Chaney Monge School.

Kuriger began the Teacher Loyalty Program when he opened the shop three years ago. About 95 teachers are enrolled in the program and it’s growing, primarily through word of mouth.

Enrolling is easy.

“Show me you’re a teacher with the ID of the school you belong to,” Kuriger said.

Teacher or not, all Kuriger’s customers receive the same quality service as Carter described.

“It’s not the car that matters. It’s the customer,” Kuriger said. “They come in here and we treat them like family.”

To Kuriger, the Teacher Loyalty Program is really a teacher appreciation program. After his parents’ divorce, Kuriger said he attended 10 schools in Plainfield and Joliet during his school career and endured 13 moves. Kuriger credits teachers and school staff for his success today.

“The only people that made me feel part of something were teachers and faculty members,” Kuriger said.

Too shy to engage in recess and too poor to afford hot lunch, Kuriger

Jason Kuriger, owner of a Mr. Transmission/Milex automotive repair shop in Crest Hill, offers a Teacher Loyalty Program. Joliet-area teachers receive a 15 percent discount on most services.

To view Kuriger’s interview last May on WGN 9 about spring car care, visit http:// shawurl.com/2ue7. overcame his low self-esteem through stocking classroom shelves or wiping tables in the cafeteria and taking out the trash.

The perks? Feeling appreciated, which built up his self-esteem. That’s in addition to the extra cookies and milk, and the ability to earn free lunches.

“I always strove to get positive feedback from the people I helped,”

Kuriger said.

By the time Kuriger was 16, he was working two jobs – at a bowling alley, as well as delivering pizzas – in addition to attending school and living in an apartment with an older brother.

When the brother accepted a job in Pennsylvania, Kuriger stayed and paid the rent. He was evicted seven months later when it became known Kuriger was a minor. A friend’s family took him in. Kuriger said he refused to stay for free and paid rent – even after he joined the U.S. Marines in 1991 because his possessions were still in that house.

When Kuriger moved into his own apartment, his friend’s mother had a surprise gift for him.

“It was a checkbook with all the money I had given for rent,” Kuriger said.

Kuriger said he was just 24 when he

became service director of the Saturn in Joliet. The owner’s trust in Kuriger inspired him to do his best. Even back then, Kuriger wanted to start a Teacher Loyalty Program.

Now with 22 years of automotive service behind him, Kuriger understands how to produce happy, satisfied and loyal customers. He focuses less on making big profits and more on growing his service.

“I have my own way of doing business compared to some of the franchises out there,” Kuriger said.

Kuriger said when he began his repair shop he averaged 85 customers a month. Now he averages 292. Last month, Kuriger served 346 customers.

It’s worth the 70 hours a week Kuriger said he puts in.

“This has been my passion,” Kuriger said. “Honestly, I feel it has paid off.”

Plainfield Community Homecoming Parade is Oct. 1 The HERALD–NEWS PLAINFIELD – The 65th annual Plainfield Community Homecoming Parade, celebrating “Classic Rock & Roll,” will step off at 9 a.m. Oct. 1.

The parade, which is one of the biggest in the state with about 110 registered entries, will come through downtown Plainfield led by this year’s grand marshals, Pauline and Mike Herbst.

Pauline Herbst retired this June after 19 years as a secretary at Plainfield High School – Central Campus. Among her numerous duties, she oversaw the homecoming parade for many years.

Mike Herbst retired from International Harvester after 40 years and now works part time for BCK in Shorewood

and Manheim Auto Auction in Bolingbrook. They have been married for 45 years and have three children and two grandchildren. Both have been active supporters and volunteers for PHSCC and various community organizations for over 40 years.

Then-District 202 Superintendent of Schools Walter Niehus started the homecoming parade in 1952 to celebrate Plainfield High School’s homecoming week. It has grown over the years into a community event bringing the whole town together.

The Community Homecoming Parade features all four District 202 high schools and all seven middle schools, most of the 17 elementary schools, the Bonnie McBeth Learning Center and

Plainfield Academy.

After the parade, all PHSCC alumni and friends are invited to attend the PHS Alumni Tea in the PHSCC Main Cafeteria immediately after the parade.

The Class of 1966 will be honored along with PHS Hall of Fame inductees Alumni Athlete Chris Smith (wrestler), and PHS Coaches Al Pagnusat (former girls track coach) and Bill Conrad (former boys and girls tennis coach). Then the varsity football team will take on the Joliet West Tigers at 1 p.m. in the PHSCC Wildcat Stadium.

Several class reunions will also be held during Homecoming weekend, including the third annual All Class Reunion, which was started for those

alums that were not attending a milestone reunion that year.

This year’s event will be from 7 to 11 p.m. Oct. 1 at the Plainfield American Legion Hall, 24741 W Renwick Road, Plainfield. Mary and the Troublemakers will supply the entertainment and pizza will be served. There will be a cash bar and $10 admission will be charged at the door. All alumni and friends of homecoming are welcome.

For information about this year’s Community Homecoming Parade or to nominate a grand marshal for the 66th annual Community Homecoming Parade next year, contact the PHS Alumni Association at phsalumniassoc@ comcast.net or Ingrid Andreasen Price at 815-436-7300.

JUST FIT

Foundation’s support will keep nature education programs free The HERALD–NEWS A $5,000 donation from the Friends of the Forest Preserve foundation will keep the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s nature education programs free for students this school year.

The donation check was presented on Sept. 8 to the district’s Board of Commissioners by foundation Vice Chairwoman Laurie McPhillips.

Funds were collected from individual donors and from the foundation’s “Bringing Nature Home Plant Sale” in May during the group’s first fundraising campaign, “Help Keep Nature Education Programs Free!”

The money will be used to assist the district in buying equipment and materials for its nature education programs, which are designed to give students direct experiences with nature.

Each year, the district provides nature education programs to more than 15,000 students. In 2016, the district’s board eliminated field trip fees. Foundation funding will now help cover the cost of the programs.

Board President Suzanne Hart accepted the check on behalf of the district.

Foundation Executive Director Cindy Harn said the group is working with the district to identify new projects and funding needs.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Expect the unexpected and be prepared to make a move without waffling. The longer you procrastinate this year, the more difficult it will be to bring about the change necessary to achieve the happiness and peace that you deserve. Speak up and make your move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Refuse to let professional matters interfere with your personal life. Love and affection will help you maintain a good relationship with the important people in your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Someone who wants to make you look bad will scrutinize your

words or actions. Choose your words wisely, and work secretively until you feel that you can overcome anyone likely to challenge you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You’ll get what you want if you are willing to work hard. A financial gain is apparent, and negotiations will favor you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Refuse to let an emotionally charged situation come between you and the goals you have set for yourself. Live up to your expectations and forget about what others say or do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Weigh what’s most important to you and stick to your plan to ensure that you reach your destination safe and sound. Careless spending or trying to buy love

will add to your stress.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Stress will be high if you or someone close to you isn’t being honest or open. You cannot fix a problem if you don’t admit that one exists.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You can bring about change if you take part in something you believe in. Don’t expect a loved one to agree with your actions. Say little and keep the peace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Look over your assets and liabilities and consider what needs to be done in order to ease financial stress. Don’t let anger take control when common sense and practicality are the answer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Take pride in your profession and check out events and activities

that will help you make positive changes to your appearance and what you have to offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Force isn’t likely to work at home or in situations that involve people who don’t share your opinions. However, reverse psychology and kind gestures will encourage compromise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Emotions will be close to the surface. Ask questions and find out where you stand. A day trip can turn into a romantic adventure if you keep an open mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Help others and reap the rewards you deserve. Don’t give in to someone trying to put a damper on your plans to make a difference in your community or aid those in dire need.

Fresh or frozen, produce provides plenty of daily nutritional value Dear Dr. K: I’m trying to eat more fruits and vegetables, but I don’t have time to go to the grocery store every week. So I stock up on frozen produce. Am I missing out on any nutritional benefits by eating frozen instead of fresh?

Dear Reader: For taste, variety and quality of nutrients, recently picked local produce is the way to go. But if fresh produce is inconvenient or beyond your budget, frozen fruits and vegetables provide plenty of nutrition.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are indeed more nutritious, but the difference between fresh and frozen produce may not be as stark as you think. Researchers at the University of California-Davis found that: • Fresh and frozen produce are similar in terms of carbohydrate, protein, fiber and mineral content.

• Fresh produce can lose half of its vitamins and beneficial plant-derived chemicals during storage or cooking.

• More water-soluble vitamins such as C are lost during the frozen packaging process than fat-soluble vitamins such as A and E. Another point to consider is not all produce sold as “fresh” really is fresh.

Glance down the supermarket produce aisle, and you’ll see wilted lettuce and peppers with soft spots on them.

If you’re looking for truly fresh produce, your best bet is to go to a farm stand or local farmers market.

True, some farm stands sell fruit that is not picked-this-morning fresh. But if the produce is labeled as locally grown, it probably is fresh. If you ask a farm stand clerk if the produce was picked to-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff day, you usually will get an honest answer.

As my wife would be the first to tell you, I’m not a “foodie.” I’m more of a gourmand than a gourmet. So I asked a colleague for some advice.

Dr. Michelle Hauser is a certified chef, nutrition educator and a clinical fellow in medicine at Harvard Medical School. She explains grocery store produce may be picked unripe so it can be stored for months. Then it may be artificially speed-ripened on its way to the grocery shelf. As a result, it may be less nutritious than naturally matured fruits and vegetables.

Produce destined for the freezer aisle is picked when ripe. It may be cooked briefly in hot water and then frozen in or near the fields. This helps to preserve its nutritional value.

So the bottom line for me is: Don’t worry too much about whether your produce is fresh or frozen. If stocking up on frozen fruits and vegetables helps you get your five-to-nine daily servings, stick with it.

But if you pass a farmers market, make a quick stop for some fresh peaches or apples. Your taste buds will thank you.

Woman in modest housing discourages dropping by Dear Abby: I lost my longtime job but have remained in contact with a few former co-workers, meeting for an occasional lunch or dinner. One woman in particular has been pushing to meet at my place. Abby, I’m not proud of where I live now, and I don’t want to have to explain this to her.

So far, I have side-stepped by saying I prefer to get out of the house, but I’m worried one day she will announce she’s “in my neighborhood” and ask to drop by. I’m really uncomfortable with that, but I don’t know an appropriate response that will keep our relationship cordial, because I do value the times we see each other.

Dear Abby: My wife and I were sitting in a restaurant one night. A woman, her boyfriend and two children were at the table next to us.

EVERYTHING ON YOUR CHECKLIST IS HERE!

Welcome to 21537 S. Mattox Lane, in Shorewood. Located on just over an acre of wooded seclusion, this 4400 square foot all brick home was custom built in 2002

by Serena Builders for the current owners. Since initial construction, the home has been continually maintained & improved with back yard fencing around the in ground swimming pool, outdoor covered & heated designer patio and finished basement with home theater, fireplace, wet bar, game room, bath & dual staircases to interior 1st floor and garage.

The home has 4 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 1 half bath. In addition to the basement finish, you’ll love the 1st floor with 9 foot ceilings and countless windows and sliding glass doors to the yard space. Most of the first floor has Asian walnut hardwood flooring. A more open, yet relaxing kitchen & family room make this space the heart of the home. Maybe it is the transom windows and fireplace in the family room, or the custom white Styleline Cabinets in the kitchen w/macauba quartzite countertops or the 10’ x 5’ island for casual gatherings that makes the home so comfortable.

The 20’ x 14’ formal dining room w/fireplace, crown molding, wainscoting & floor to ceiling windows provide a perfect setting for holiday gatherings.

There is a retreat room for everyone here with a main floor sun room and a den/main floor office. The main floor laundry room is massive with garage & back yard access plus offers a bath.

The master suite has 2 walk-in closets, a private luxury bath & sitting room. All secondary bedrooms could be mistaken for the master bedroom due to their size and offer private or shared direct bath access!

For more information on this one of a kind home offered at $675,000.00, please call Mark Meers of Spring Realty (815)347-7900. Additional info.: www.MarkMeers1.com

ALDI 3080 Hennepin Drive Joliet, IL 60431

The Senior Life Master started his class with the observation that actress Tallulah Bankhead had advised someone, “If you really want to help the American theater, don’t be an actress, dahling. Be an audience.”

If you really want to help American bridge (the SLM continued), don’t be an audience. Be a teacher and a player.

Look at the first declarer-play problem on my handout. How would you coach South to play in five diamonds after West leads a low heart, and East covers dummy’s card?

While giving them some time to decide, the SLM said that it was a good bidding sequence. North liked his minor-suit cards, but his heart king seemed useless, so he wisely passed out five diamonds. Yes, five hearts doubled would have cost only 200 if East guessed the trump position, but sacrificing at unfavorable vulnerability is dangerous.

At first glance, South needs either clubs to break 3-3 (so that a spade can be discarded from dummy on the fourth round of the suit) or East to have the spade ace. But there is one more possibility.

After ruffing at trick one, draw trumps ending in the dummy and ruff the second heart. Then play on clubs. When East discards on the third round, South should lead his last club and discard a spade from dummy, leaving West endplayed. If he leads a spade, declarer’s king scores. Or if West tries a heart, South sluffs a second spade from the board and ruffs in hand. In both cases, he loses only one trick in each black suit.
