NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way District 210 board members approved $20 million in short-term borrowing needed to finish September with positive fund balances, according to the superintendent.

Before board members of the financially struggling school district considered approving $20 million in tax anticipation warrants, Superintendent Scott Tingley said at Thursday’s meeting that they needed to approve the 2016 tax levy, which typically is done in November or December.

“We must have this approved to begin the borrowing that is necessary [Friday] to close the month of September with positive fund balances in all of our funds,” Tingley said.

He told the board that the levy can be reworked or resubmitted later this year.

The board approved the proposed $62.8 million levy – a 2.9 percent increase from the 2015 tax extension – and the issuance of the tax anticipation warrants.

Board members also discussed seek-

ing a Request For Proposal or Request For Quotation from an onsite child care provider that Tingley said would go into effect fall 2017. Board Vice President Christine Glatz was absent.

With the warrants approved, Tingley said $7 million can be borrowed Friday to get the district through two more months, and the district would borrow more only when needed.

He said that district officials believe they need $25 million to $28 million in warrants, but could approve only $20 million. He said funding for the warrants was more difficult to secure this time than in the past.

Tax anticipation warrants are issued in anticipation of taxes levied but not yet collected, according to the Illinois Association of School Boards.

Tingley said that, in the past year, District 210 used $30 million in warrants, $20 million in 2014 and about $11 million in 2013. He said the district can’t build surpluses until the warrants are paid off.

During discussion of the levy, board member Joseph Kirkeeng asked what would happen if the levy, and subse-

quently the tax anticipation warrants, were not approved. Tingley said district officials would be phantom borrowing – a practice he said they wanted to stay away from.

Tingley said the warrants are a “limited risk” because district officials know they will collect taxes but “don’t want to get into a situation where we are into next year’s tax anticipation warrants.”

Child care services

Tingley spoke with board members about child care services for next school year, saying he could report back in October with more information after contacting any provider in the area to see if there was interest.

Kirkeeng asked if that legally had been vetted. Tingley replied that as long as the charges to the provider are reasonable and no exclusive rights are given to them for the building, then the district legally is OK. “If we give them the keys and we can’t go in there, then it becomes a straight rental, and that’s what we have to stay away from,” he said.

Rialto opts not to sell office site

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Rialto Square Theatre board has decided it cannot afford to sell its office building.

The Rialto will not sell the 2 Rialto Square building, located just north of the theater. The board had the building appraised and considered selling it to generate needed cash.

But board member Michael Murray said the rent from the building is worth more than a sale, especially with the bills the Rialto has to pay.

The Rialto has $535,000 in unpaid bills.

“I don’t believe we can afford to lose a nickel of revenue,” Murray told the board Wednesday.

He and Chairman Dan Vera reviewed the value of the potential sale of the building compared with its worth as an ongoing source of rental income.

“I believe it is contributing to the theater,” Murray said. “It is my opinion and recommendation that, for now, we table the issue of selling because we need every nickel of cash flow we can get.”

Vera said the board might reconsider the sale in two or three years. They both said after the meeting that the decision to put off the sale was a matter of comparing short-term gains with long-term benefits. Murray said he believed the proceeds from the sale would be used up in about six months.

Meanwhile, the Rialto has one new tenant, Prairie State Legal Services, coming into the building in October, and Vera said a couple of other prospects are in the wings. Vera said he is talking with two “very serious” potential tenants that he hopes will sign leases by December.

“We will be making offer letters to those prospects,” he said.

The Rialto also sent letters to vendors waiting to be paid, said Finance Manager Dale Evans.

“We did send letters to vendors saying we thank them for their patience with us in this period of time and please bear with us,” Evans told the board.

Staff work a reduced schedule, a practice started in August so the Rialto could meet payroll.

The Rialto historically has operated with budget shortfalls shored up by subsidies from the city of Joliet. But the theater’s financial issues became notably severe late last year when it fell behind on payroll taxes, a predicament that led to the Rialto parting ways with General Manager Randy Green in March.

The theater stopped booking shows during the management restructuring, drying up one revenue source, until VenuWorks was hired as a third-party management company to help turn around operations. VenuWorks started Sept. 1 and has just begun booking shows again.

State looks at $1 billion in I-80 upgrades from New Lenox to Minooka

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Interstate 80 interchange at Route 53 might be the most dangerous in Will County.

The aging interchange was built in the 1960s as a tight cloverleaf to accommodate an already crowded urban landscape in what was a simpler time.

It now is a major access point for cars and semitrailers trying to get to and from downtown Joliet and the rapidly expanding distribution centers on the south end of the city.

When traffic is heavy, it’s not unusual for drivers trying to get onto I-80 to find themselves blocked by a long line of cars and trucks backed up trying to get off the interstate at the nearby exit ramp.

When an opening appears, drivers accelerate from a stop to merge into traffic with vehicles moving 60 mph or faster.

“That interchange was not built for this kind of traffic,” said John Greuling, CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development. “The on-off ramps for that intersection are dangerous.”

Could it be the most dangerous interchange in Will County?

Greuling didn’t say for sure.

But he did say that a newly initiated freight mobility study, aimed at documenting the heaviest spots of congestion in Will County for the sake of seeking federal funds to improve local roads, should provide an answer.

“We think the study is probably going to put an end to that discussion.

I think it’s going to be yes,” Greuling said.

The study is to be completed by April so local officials can be equipped with information to support their requests in the next round of federal highway funding, which will include money designated to improve the movement of freight traffic.

“It’s a pretty complete overview of where is freight coming, where it’s going, and what’s happening to it while it’s here,” Greuling said of the study.

“We don’t have good, current information outside of traffic counts here and there.”

I-80 and Route 53 won’t be the only area under review. New interchanges are proposed along Interstate 55, and local officials also want more lanes added to I-80.

“One of the reasons we’re doing this

portation has long-term plans for more than $1 billion worth of improvements on a 16-mile stretch of I-80 that runs from Route 30 in New Lenox to Ridge Road in Minooka.

“No decisions have been made on exactly how that will look,” IDOT spokeswoman Gianna Urgo said in an email.

But it will include plans for interchanges and bridges.

One major project in the plan is replacement of the Des Plaines River bridge near the Route 53 interchange.

That project alone would cost $300 million.

IDOT plans to hold several public meetings next year on the I-80 project, Urgo said.

“We hope to have a plan with federal approval in 2018 to improve the entire corridor,” she said.

‘Major constraints’

study is to provide more background when we go for the freight funding,” Greuling said. Will County is not alone in the pursuit of federal funding for In-

terstate 80 improvements.

St. Paul bids to extend title streak; Minooka, Mokena teams also qualify SUBMITTED REPORT

vited the students and parents to join.

“I always tell the boys before the game to love one another and play hard. We say the Hail Mary prayer – we do it that way because, as a Catholic school, faith is important,” Melone said.

St. Paul will play its first game at 2 p.m. Friday with Peoria’s Limestone Walters Elementary School, which is a team St. Paul has never played.

Melone said he will tell his boys, “one game at a time.”

The 18-player Minooka Junior High School 3A team beat Bolingbrook Mid-

dle School, 15-0, on Sept. 24, which earned them a spot at state. Head coach Kyle Hasler said the team had a 19-1 record this year, and has won five state titles in the past.

The team will face Mount Zion Junior High School at 12:30 p.m. Friday, which has a similar record at 19-2.

Hasler said his team has yet to play Mount Zion, and offered this advice to his players.

“We have to keep playing the same baseball we played all year. We need to take care of our own business,” Hasler said.

St. Paul the Apostle, Minooka Junior High and Mokena will represent the Joliet area in the Illinois Elementary School Association state baseball tournament that begins Friday at EastSide Centre in East Peoria.

In the Class 1A quarterfinals, St. Paul (12-3), which has won the last three 1A titles, will face Peoria Limestone Walters (15-3) at 2 p.m. Friday.

In Class 3A, Minooka Junior High (19-1), which won AA titles in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2005 and the first 3A championship in 2006, will square off against Mount Zion (192) at 12:30 p.m., while Mokena (141) tests Chatham Glenwood (9-7) at 5 p.m.

The semifinals, third-place and title games in all three classes are scheduled Saturday.

St. Paul began its postseason trek with a 3-0 victory over Mazon-Verona-Kinsman in a regional semifinal.

Zach Bebar had two hits for the Giants, and Matt Offerman and Bebar combined for the shutout.

In the regional championship, St. Paul topped Elwood, 9-3. Jackson Cullen homered and singled, Max Buza had two hits and Ryan Louthan homered. Louthan threw a complete game, striking out 10 while walking one.

The Giants advanced through the sectional with a 5-4 win over Ottawa Marquette. Will Gimbel had two hits and scored twice.

Ryan Louthan and Cooper Ohlson combined for the victory, striking out 11 and walking two.

could be a challenge, as it fits into an area between railroad tracks and the Continued from page 3 Des Plaines River that contains houses and businesses.

A final plan has not yet been de“You’ve got a lot of major confined. straints,” Joliet Public Works Director But rebuilding the interchange James Trizna said. “It’s your basic lit-

tle cloverleaf, but it’s pretty tight. It’s pretty marvelous how they squeezed it all in there.”

One of the chief goals of the upcoming Houbolt Road bridge project is to divert trucks away from Route 53.

A memorandum of understanding

recently was approved for that project between Joliet, Will County, the state of Illinois and CenterPoint Properties.

CenterPoint is building the bridge while the state will fund a new I-80 interchange at Houbolt Road designed to accommodate increased truck traffic.

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – At events held Thursday in Joliet and Minooka, supporters rallied behind two teams before they made the trek to East Peoria for the Illinois Elementary School Association 2016 state baseball tournament.

The St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School team ran through the students as they held up school spirit signs, while coaches offered advice and encouragement.

St. Paul 2014 graduate and current Joliet Catholic Academy pitcher Aidan Tyrell told his former team, “The first game is always the biggest game. Focus on winning the first game, and then stay calm to do your thing.”

Head coach Mike Melone said that the team headed for state is young, with only two eighth-grade students, but, “the older players have accepted the younger guys and they have put their nose to the grindstone. We have tried a lot of different lineups on the field in order to find a spark.”

St. Paul falls into the 1A bracket, but Melone said because of low access to 1A teams in the area, the school has benefited from playing larger 2A and 3A teams, giving the team good experience for state.

The baseball team at St. Paul began in 2006. Since that time, the team has clinched eight sectional titles and brought home the state championship trophy several times, including for the past three years. At the end of the pep rally, Melone asked the team to huddle like they do before each game and in-

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County leaders are nearing the point where they need to know which agencies will be part of the proposed 911 dispatch center that is expected to be included in the new Will County Public Safety Complex.

Nick Palmer, chief of staff for Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr., said representatives from the Will County Board, Will County Executive’s Office and Will County Sheriff’s Office met Wednesday to discuss the status of negotiations related to the dispatch center.

As part of the estimated $30 million complex – which will be home to the sheriff’s office and all its operations – Will County’s 911 board in April drafted a consolidation plan for reducing its emergency dispatch centers from six to three, in accordance with an unfunded state mandate.

Under the plan, dispatch centers in

Romeoville, Crete and Frankfort would likely be folded into the new complex.

The two other operating dispatch centers in the county are the city of Joliet’s facility and WESCOM’s Plainfield facility, built in 2014.

Palmer said some agencies did not initially want to be consolidated, but the state has mandated it. While he acknowledged the county originally discussed building the dispatch center for free, the scope of the project has evolved from that point to now having a “specialized design to [the agencies’] liking.”

The county is asking agencies to pay rent for use of the facility. The rent money would go into a long-term maintenance fund for the entire building.

Dispatch agencies would pay for their own utilities, operations, salaries and benefits. Palmer said that some think the county wants to oversee the new dispatch center, but that is not the case.

“We just want it to function for all of our communities,” Palmer said.

Palmer said agencies that are slated for consolidation are working together and have adopted bylaws, but are not a legal entity. He said private meetings have occurred between the county and

“This is what consolidation looks like. It’s tough, but we’re hoping to get it done.”

Chief of staff for Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. representatives from some of the agencies, but no deal has been reached.

The county will occupy about 75 percent of the new building, so either way, it will be built, Palmer said. He thinks all agencies will be on board, ultimately because there isn’t a better deal out there.

“This is what consolidation looks like,” Palmer said. “It’s tough, but we’re hoping to get it done.”

Palmer said the dispatch center likely will be discussed more next week during the County Board’s capital improvements or executive committee meetings.

A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled Wednesday for the complex.

A call to Will County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, was not immediately returned.

Nonemergency phone numbers go down for Lockport, Channahon, Shorewood police

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com Nonemergency phone lines were down a few hours Thursday for several Will County police departments.

Lockport Police Department Deputy Chief Ron Huff said his agency lost its nonemergency line about 8:45 a.m., something he said was a first for the department. However, Huff indicated that not having the line wasn’t a major disruption for the agency.

Email and text alerts were sent out through the notification system Nixle by the Channahon and Shorewood police departments shortly before noon Thursday saying that the nonemergency lines were down. Lockport sent an alert not long after.

Channahon and Shorewood police sent another alert about 2:30 p.m. saying the nonemergency lines were working again.

Steve Rauter, executive director of emergency dispatcher WESCOM, said the departments whose lines went down are customers of the telephone service provider Call One.

You knew that recording was fabricated,” Gold-Smith told the judge.

After the bench trial, Rozak estimated he spent 30 hours listening to the tapes submitted as evidence.

“Why have you railroaded me?”

Gold-Smith asked. “Your sadistic determination to send people to prison, regardless of their innocence?”

“You, sir, are an anachronism. A throwback to the tyrannical kings, despots and dictators,” he said. “The Spanish Inquisition would’ve been more appropriate for your [distribution] of justice, or should I say, injustice.”

Gold-Smith continued his statement to the court by accusing Rozak of anti-Semitism because of his last name, although Gold-Smith is not Jewish.

The defendant concluded addressing the court with another religious reference.

“Even if I were to have Jesus Christ as a witness, it wouldn’t have mattered,” Gold-Smith said.

The judge made no comments after Gold-Smith’s statement. Rozak typically takes time to review any sentencing matter and said he would do so until Oct. 19.

A Joliet man who pleaded guilty in February to an Aurora murder has been sentenced to 25 years in prison, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Jaquan Green-Hosey, 22, was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to first-degree murder.

Prosecutors presented evidence at the trial of Green-Hosey’s brother, Dimitri Green-Hosey, that about 7:30 p.m. Jan. 13, 2014, the two met Arin Williams, 20, of Aurora, at a business in the 800 block of North Lake Street in Aurora, the release stated.

The brothers had arranged to buy marijuana from Williams but instead decided to steal the drugs. During the meeting, Jaquan Green-Hosey grabbed the marijuana and ran. Dimitri Green-Hosey then fatally shot Williams in the back of the head.

Dimitri Green-Hosey, 21, also of Joliet, was convicted Aug. 31 of first-degree murder and armed robbery. His next court appearance will be Nov. 4 for motions and sentencing.

JOLIET – A Homer Glen lawyer convicted of trying to buy his wife’s murder from inside the Will County jail had harsh words Thursday for the judge who will sentence him.

Robert W. GoldSmith, 54, repeated his assertions that a jail inmate fabricated a recording of Gold-Smith asking to have Victoria Smith killed and that Judge Daniel Rozak was biased Robert W. against him. Gold-Smith, Gold-Smith who represented himself in a bench trial earlier this year, faces 20 to 40 years in prison.

Gold-Smith and Victoria Smith were going through a contentious divorce when he allegedly punched her outside a courtroom in November 2010.

That case still is pending, although Gold-Smith has admitted to the confrontation. Before court began Thursday, Gold-Smith spoke to Will County Assistant Public Defender Amy Christiansen, who is representing him on the

domestic battery case.

“Twenty [years], 30, 40. It’s all the same to me,” Gold-Smith said. “It’s a life sentence. I get out of prison at 75, what good does that do me?”

During sentencing proceedings, Gold-Smith and prosecutor Adam Capelli noted he had no criminal history before the attack in the courthouse.

“I think things would’ve been different if I’d come in [to court] on the domestic ... done some time. It should’ve been a real simple thing,” Gold-Smith told the judge.

But after violating an order of protection, Gold-Smith was put in the county jail in March 2011 and offered Brian K. McDaniel $5,000 to kill Gold-Smith’s ex in October 2012, according to trial testimony.

Gold-Smith said Rozak wants “to personally oversee this conviction to gratify [his] ego.”

The former bankruptcy attorney also believes the judge felt obligated to protect the reputations of investigators and prosecutors he believes were duped

by McDaniel.

Courtroom of the future operating in Will County

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The courtroom of the future is here today.

Computer workstations, an audio speaker system and two large flat-screen monitors recently were installed in courtroom 402 of the Will County courthouse.

With the new technology, a judge, prosecutor or defense attorney can search through a court file and be sure they’re using the most recent legal form for any documents that are generated.

Circuit Clerk Pam McGuire said the electronic system is being set up to automatically import information from the court docket, reducing paper waste.

Judge Dave Carlson said having fines and costs calculated automatically will also save money for the county.

Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt said the equipment was installed in a single courtroom as a testing ground for what will work best when the new courthouse, which is scheduled to start construction in 2018, opens.

“There may have been a bit of overkill having two 80-inch screens in our smallest courtroom,” Schoenstedt acknowl-

edged Thursday. “But the smallest courtroom there will be bigger than our largest [current] courtroom, and it will have to be ‘visible’ when it’s used.”

Courtroom 402 was selected because it’s where felony cases are heard, and electronic equipment set up to record misdemeanor cases that don’t have live court reporters already was in place, Carlson said. If a video were played in court, the judge can control what is shown on the screen. Lawyers could use a magnifier like an overhead projector to show documents or small pieces of evidence to jurors.

Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Chris Koch said the screens also can display bird’s-eye view images from Google Maps when a witness identifies an address.

Witnesses could use a touchscreen to point and mark where something was on a diagram, photo or map. The judge could then make a screenshot of the markings and save it as a “sub-exhibit,” and erase the markings for touchscreen use by other witnesses.

“This just improves everybody’s ability to present their side of the case,” Carlson said.

Ruiz relishes new role at the University of St. Francis SPONSORED BY

Eric Ruiz isn’t new to the University of St. Francis, but he’s the new Director of Undergraduate Admissions.

Having worked in Admissions at the University of St. Francis since 2007, Ruiz is thrilled to take on his latest role in leading and directing the undergraduate admissions operation.

“I have been progressing my way up and I’m excited about what I’m doing in my new position,” he said. “I’m still going to be in the trenches and keeping up with the changes and at times still recruiting students.”

Ruiz knows first-hand about the challenges of attending college and his unique personal experience allows him to relate to potential students, including undocumented ones.

Having grown up in a family of four, Ruiz’s parents couldn’t afford to send him to college.

“It was something we didn’t talk about until someone called me from St. Francis,” he said. “I talked to a counselor at the University who said she could help me with the whole process. I was able to make it work, I graduated and now I’m working here.”

His ability to work so well and to promote the community of Hispanic/Latino students, faculty and administration at the University of St. Francis, is one of Ruiz’s strongest assets. He understands that many families from Mexico don’t understand how a university functions in this country.

“We’ll have our Gran Cena later this fall where we invite our Latino families, students and parents so we can get together and talk about what goes on in college and why their son or daughter is on campus all hours of the night,” he said. “I tell them my story and give them a sense of understanding of how the college system works and what I’m trying to do with our current students while inviting prospective students to consider our University.”

Reduce Back-to-School Stress with Four “Hack-to-School” Tips Local Cleaning Expert Shares Smart Shortcuts for Reducing Chaos and Clutter

SPONSORED BY

With area schools back in session, swimsuits and beach towels are being replaced by backpacks and school lunches. This school year Merry Maids is setting families up for an A+ with helpful “Hack-to-School” tips.

“This time of year is full of new routines. It’s about helping make life a little more enjoyable for families”, said Jackie Franklin, owner of Merry Maids.

1. Lay it Out: Before the school year starts empty one of your kid’s dresser drawers. Then work with your child to lay out five outfits and place in the drawer so they are ready to wear, saving time each morning.

2. Chart Art: Provide a visual so children can see their accomplishments and start a routine.

Involve your kids by having them decorate a chart to check off when homework is finished, backpack ready, and teeth brushed.

3. Brown Bagging It: Organize your refrigerator into easy-to-grab compartments of small bins filled with mom-approved snacks prepared for the week. Allow your kids to help quickly make their lunch in the morning by getting one item from each bin.

4. Label It: Label colored folders for each child to put their permission slips, announcements or notes. You can check the folder after dinner, make sure notes are addressed and ensure the slips don’t end up at the bottom of the backpack.

While you’re focused on backpacks, school lunches and soccer practice, you can leave it to Merry Maids cleaning specialists who are readily available to keep your home spic and span.

JOLIET – As part of the work on the Joliet Gateway Center transportation campus, southbound Mayor Art Schultz Drive (Michigan Street), between Jefferson and Washington streets, will be closed starting Monday for construction of the new train station.

One-way northbound Mayor Art Schultz Drive, from Washington Street to the alley, will remain open to allow continued access to the temporary Metra ticket trailer, according to a news release from the city. This area cannot be blocked by vehicles for drop-off or pick-up, and motorists are asked to use short-term parking in available parking spaces only.

Drivers are advised to exercise caution and seek alternate routes, if possible, when traveling in the area.

It is anticipated that this work will be completed by December 2017, according to the news release.

For information, call the Public Works Department at 815-724-4200.

build another hangar at its airport because of high demand for airplane space.

A new hangar accommodating 12 planes could be built by spring, said Executive Director Tom Carstens.

There are 30 pilots on a waiting list to get space at Joliet Regional Airport, Carstens said.

Currently, 83 planes are kept at the airport. Fifty-eight of those planes are housed in the airport’s five enclosed hangars. Carstens said the park board this week approved moving ahead with a new hangar. Staff next will work on the design and costs, but it is estimated to cost about $425,000 to $450,000.

The park district will finance the project, but Carstens noted more airplanes will bring in additional revenue.

“We’ll be getting rent, so we’ll have that revenue, plus the added fuel sales,” he said.

Park staff also will need to assess the condition of the main hangar at the airport, which needs some work, he said.

“We’re looking to do something with that building over the next three years,” Carstens said.

It’s too early to say whether the building would be renovated or replaced, he said.

Mayor Art Schultz Drive to close starting Monday

SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – The Regency Beauty Institute has permanently closed its 79 campuses, including the one it had in Joliet.

In a posting on the company’s website, it states that the institute was closing as of Wednesday after more than 50 years of educating cosmetology students. The Joliet location is at 2904 Colorado Ave. The reason behind the closure appears to be financial.

“How did this happen? In short, the organization does not have the cash to continue to run the business,” the posting stated. “There are multiple intertwined reasons: declining numbers of cosmetology students nationwide, a negative characterization of for-profit education by regulators and politicians that continues to worsen and, in light of these factors, an inability to obtain continued financing.”

The school apologized for the “abrupt nature” of the news, and if any students or staff learned of the news from the website’s post.

The school noted it was not shutting

“We held ourselves to high educational and ethical standards,” the post reads. “The environment is simply not one that allows us to remain open. We diligently explored a range of strategic options that would benefit our students, teachers, and staff — and allow us to remain open. Unfortunately, those efforts were not successful.”

Students were allowed to collect their personal items Thursday afternoon, or from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday. Final transcripts will be mailed to students, and the company is working with its accrediting agency and state boards to secure agreements with accredited schools near each closed campus for “teach out” arrangements, which would let Regency students complete their cosmetology program at another school.

Illinois Solar Tour includes Plainfield, New Lenox homes Auto Dealer

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Solar-powered homes are more popular than ever, Illinois Solar Energy Association Executive Director Lesley McCain said.

On Saturday, this trend will be highlighted with the 10th annual Illinois Solar Tour, which includes a collection of more than 100 solar-powered homes and small businesses throughout the state that are open to the public. Attendees will see real-life examples of how people are using the sun to get energy bills close or all the way to zero, and benefiting the environment in the process.

Locally, two Plainfield homes and one New Lenox home are featured on the tour. People interested in viewing homes are asked to register at www.illinoissolartour.org/Attend.php to help chronicle attendance, but registration is not required. Host sites will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Linda Kedzior of New Lenox had considered a switch to solar power for many years. But last year she began more serious research, and had a system installed in December. She estimated that within four or five years, the cost of the system

will be paid for in savings off energy bills.

“I’m getting free energy from the sun that’s not costing me anything,” Kedzior said. “It’s amazing.”

Kedzior said this is just the start for her home, and she is looking at other renewable energy features to incorporate.

The home still is on the electrical grid, and Kedzior does pay ComEd a service fee, but it’s nearly 100 percent powered by the sun.

Although solar systems have become more affordable, Kedzior said she and others have used the federal Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit – worth 30 percent of qualified expenditures that go toward the system – to help offset costs.

She is waiting for the return of the state’s Solar and Wind Energy Rebate Program, which is currently closed because of the state’s fiscal uncertainty.

McCain said now that the cost of supplies has dropped, as happens with most new technologies, solar enthusiasts are excited to see use grow throughout the country. She said the blog on Illinois Solar’s website has information on solar incentives, pricing and more.

Visit www.illinoissolartour.org/folder1/Northern.html for a list of homes on the solar tour.

addition of a new strategy,” she wrote.

The new strategy that is now the focus of an action planning team is developing and implementing a culturally responsive educational experience and expanding the diversity of faculty and administration to close the achievement gap.

The action planning team is being co-facilitated by former Joliet Junior College President J.D. Ross and West Assistant Principal Jo Wooten. On Dec. 2, they will present action plans to the strategic team, according to McCarthy’s memo.

Moffett said one issue brought up during the strategic planning sessions was the low number of teachers in the workforce and concerns over a potential shortage of teachers.

Crino said the new strategy was arrived at as the team reviewed the strategic plan, community concerns regarding staff diversity and a recent hiring practices audit.

He said the district is doing a good job to deliver culturally responsive education and diversity, but it could do better.

“We just need to do better. That was the exciting thing about it because it was very positive as we moved forward in this process,” he said.

JOLIET – Two strategic planning team members at Joliet High School District 204 have attested to the collaborative work that led to a new strategy focusing on culturally responsive education and staff diversity.

Joliet West parent KC Crino and Naurice Moffett, a Mount Zion Baptist Church youth pastor, were among the 32 members of the district’s strategic planning team, which convened for two days in late August to review the district’s missions, beliefs, objectives and strategies.

Crino said it was a “very positive” two days with great participation and a mix of people in the community.

“It was just excellent interaction,” he said.

Moffett said the process was enlightening, and the team came to the consensus that a new plan for the district needed to be developed that focused on cultural awareness and hiring practices.

“The community was heard and now they are looking forward to addressing those issues,” he said.

Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy wrote in her Sept. 20 memorandum to the Board of Education that during the planning sessions Aug. 26 and 27, the strategic planning team conducted an internal and external analysis of the district, identified threats and opportunities, and discussed critical issues that may affect the district over the next five years.

“As a result of the teams’ work, updates were made along with the

LOCAL BRIEFS Lane closed on Interstate 55 over Route 53 for pothole repair

BOLINGBROOK – An emergency pothole repair required the closure Thursday of the right southbound lane of Interstate 55 over Route 53, according to a news release from the Illinois Department of Transportation.

An email sent by IDOT at 5:30 p.m. Thursday noted the repair had been completed.

Motorists were to expect delays and asked to allow extra time for trips through this area. The bridge where the repair is taking place will be included in a larger patching project, tentatively starting in late October, to improve I-55 between Weber Road and Interstate 355.

Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs.

The funds are part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Technologist in Residence Program, which is designed to streamline

A woman sits on the curb Aug. 7 as police investigate the scene where gunfire at a birthday party left a man dead and a woman injured.

August was the deadliest month for Chicago homicides in two decades, and an analysis shows that the blame lies with surging violence in a handful of the city’s most impoverished neighborhoods.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Fourteen-year-old Malik Causey loved the way gangs took what they wanted from people on the street, the way members fought for each other, the way they could turn drugs into cash and cash into $400 jeans.

His mother tried to stop him. She yanked him out of houses where he didn’t belong. She cooked up a story about Malik punching her so the police would lock him up to keep him safe for a while.

Then on Aug. 21, Monique Causey woke to discover that her son had sneaked out of the house. Before she could find him, someone ended his life with a bullet to the back of his head a few blocks away.

“I went to him and cried and told him he wouldn’t make it,” Causey said.

“But this fighting, jumping on people ... this is all fun for them. This is what they like to do, you know? So how can you stop them?”

Malik Causey was one of 91 homicide victims in Chicago in August, the deadliest month in the city in two decades and the latest milestone for a metropolis becoming known for its murder rate. Already, killings here

Clinton makes it clear she knows many world leaders

CHICAGO – When it comes to world leaders, Hillary Clinton wants to be clear that she has lots of favorites.

The Democratic presidential candidate was asked for her picks Thursday, the day after third-party candidate Gary Johnson stumbled over the question in a TV appearance.

Johnson was unable to produce a single name of a foreign leader he respected during an interview on MSNBC. Clinton showed no such hesitance with reporters on her campaign plane in Chicago.

“I like a lot of the world

have jumped 46 percent over the same period last year, climbing past the 500 mark – a total larger than Los Angeles and New York combined.

An analysis of the August toll shows more clearly than ever who is dying in the Chicago slaughter and what is behind it: surging violence in a handful of the city’s most impoverished neighborhoods, which are riven by loosely organized street gangs.

Young African-American men are the chief victims. In a city that’s onethird black, the overwhelming majority of those murdered in August – 71 – were, like Malik, African-American.

Another 11 had Hispanic surnames.

Almost half were in their teens or

She added, “I hope I’ll have the opportunity to work with her.”

U.S. judge won’t stay ruling on Illinois voter registration

CHICAGO – A federal judge has denied an Illinois Attorney General’s Office request for him to reverse his own decision halting same-day voter registration at polling stations.

A Thursday hearing in Chicago federal court lasted just minutes as Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan told lawyers the request was denied.

He ruled earlier this week that the same-day registration option as written benefited

early 20s.

And more than 70 percent of those shot to death appeared on the Chicago police’s “Strategic Subject List,” which includes 1,400 people considered likely targets of violence based on gang involvement or criminal record.

To those outside Chicago, the rising murder toll might suggest a city wracked by widespread violence, but August portrays a much narrower picture of constant tit-for-tat attacks among gang members, with bystanders sometimes caught in the crossfire.

“People are arguing on Facebook over the color of some girl’s hair, real simple things ... and they carry guns and when they finally catch each other,

Democratic strongholds, such as Chicago, and disadvantaged rural regions.

Lisa Madigan’s office argued that yanking the option so close to the Nov. 8 election would unfairly deny some citizens voting rights. But in a two-page written explanation Thursday explaining his latest ruling, Der-Yeghiayan said, “This court did not restrict the rights of any voters. The legislation did.”

Madigan’s office will appeal next to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Gov. Rauner’s deficit projection $2.4B less than lawmakers’

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner’s said the state’s budget deficit will be $5.4 billion.

The figure announced Thursday is far below the $7.8 billion that the Legislature’s bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability

that’s how it be,” said Derrick House, 51, a former gang member and ex-convict who now works trying to prevent violence. “When they see the person they looking for, they don’t care who else is out there – old people and kids – they just start shooting.”

Ronnie Hutchen, 28, was one of the month’s first victims. An acknowledged member of the Traveling Vice Lords, he was a veteran of the gang scene in the Austin neighborhood on the city’s west fringe, which is dotted by boarded-up houses and of knots of men and teens standing around in the middle of the day. Most of those with jobs or options have fled.

Police don’t know why someone thrust a knife into Hutchen’s chest.

But he had been in many scrapes with rival gangs, and had 56 arrests over the years, mostly in drug and weapons cases. Also, according to his court file, he’d told a judge that he’d worn a wire so federal agents could listen in on a cocaine buy.

The Englewood neighborhood on the South Side was a particular hotspot for August murders. It’s one of the city’s poorest areas, with more than 40 percent of the residents living below the poverty level. This year, homicides there are up 171 percent over the same time last year.

projects.

The Republican governor and lawmakers have been unable to agree on a budget. Court-ordered spending continues, outstripping revenue.

The governor’s office said there is about $1 billion in federal reimbursements and another $800 million the commission counted as spending but that it did not count an equal amount of revenue that would come in. The governor’s office said it expects Illinois to spend $250 million less than planned, and a state law reduces Illinois’ cost for the Affordable Care Act by $150 million.

Commission Executive Director Dan Long said he could not comment because he had not seen a detailed description.

Suit: Cops pressured Laquan McDonald shooting witness

CHICAGO – A woman who

said she watched a white Chicago police officer fatally shoot a black teenager has filed a federal lawsuit that alleges police pressured her to change her account or “forget” what she saw.

Alma Benitez also said in the lawsuit that police detained her for hours and falsely told her the dashcam video contradicted what she said happened on Oct. 20, 2014, when officer Jason Van Dyke shot 17-yearold Laquan McDonald 16 times.

The lawsuit also alleges that after police saw Benitez trying to record the shooting on her cellphone, they tried to “view, extract and/or remove” that recording from her phone.

Attorney Amanda Yarusso said Benitez was apparently unsuccessful in recording the shooting because her phone was not charging properly. She said the phone was later stolen.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS CNN: Analyst no longer paid by Trump campaign

NEW YORK – CNN said Thursday that its analyst Corey Lewandowski, the former Donald Trump campaign manager, has cut all financial ties to the campaign and is no longer receiving monthly severance payments.

Lewandowski made light of the issue in an on-air announcement with anchor Alisyn Camerota.

“Forty days to go in the election, and now this is the breaking news of the day,” he said.

The Trump campaign confirmed that it had fulfilled all of its contractual obligations to Lewandowski, and it will be reflected in the next Federal Election Commission filing. The campaign had said last week that Lewandowski had been due severance payments until the end of the year.

Gary Johnson can’t name favorite world leader

WASHINGTON – Call it a brain freeze or another “Aleppo moment,” but Gary Johnson has stumbled again in his quixotic presidential campaign.

The third-party candidate, in a television appearance Wednesday, was unable to produce the name of a single foreign leader he respected. Prodded to come up with something, he finally settled on a former president of Mexico – but couldn’t recall his name.

“I guess I’m having an Aleppo

moment,” Johnson said, referencing an episode earlier this month in which he was ridiculed when he came up blank when questioned about the besieged city that has become a focal point of Syria’s civil war.

Johnson’s latest misstep played out during an extraordinary and awkward 50 seconds of live television on MSNBC, where Johnson and running mate William Weld were appearing in a town hall.

U.N. warns of ‘abyss’ in besieged eastern Aleppo

BEIRUT – Syrian government forces continued their push into rebel-held districts of Aleppo on Thursday as international officials issued dire warnings of an ongoing humanitarian disaster in Syria’s largest city.

The U.N.’s humanitarian chief Stephen O’Brien told the Security Council that the conditions in eastern Aleppo, which is besieged and assaulted by all sides by government forces, had descended into the “merciless abyss of humanitarian catastrophe.”

Speaking to the Security Council via video link from Geneva, O’Brien painted a grim picture of the conditions in the war-wracked eastern part of the city, where at least 320 civilians including 100 children have been killed in the past week. An additional 765 have been wounded.

1 dead, over 100 hurt in train crash in N.J. The ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOBOKEN, N.J. – A rushhour commuter train crashed through a barrier at the busy Hoboken station and lurched across the waiting area Thursday morning, killing one person and injuring more than 100 others in a grisly wreck that renewed questions about whether long-delayed automated safety technology could have prevented tragedy.

People pulled chunks of concrete off pinned and bleeding victims, passengers kicked out windows and crawled to safety, and cries and screams could be heard in the wreckage at the station just across the Hudson River from New York City as emergency workers rushed to reach commuters in the tangle of twisted metal and dangling wires.

The New Jersey Transit train ran off the end of its track as it was pulling into the station, smashing through a concrete-and-steel bumper. As it ground to a halt in the waiting area, the train apparently knocked out pillars, collapsing a section of the roof.

“All of a sudden, there was an abrupt stop and a big jolt that threw people out of their seats. The lights went out, and we heard a loud crashing noise like an explosion” as the roof fell, said Ross Bauer, who was sitting in the third or fourth car when the train entered the historic 109-year-old station, a bustling hub for commuters heading to New York City. “I heard panicked screams, and everyone was stunned.”

The train’s engineer was pulled from the mangled first car and hospitalized, but officials said he had been released by evening. He was cooperating with investigators, Gov. Chris Christie said.

A woman standing on the platform – identified as Fabiola Bittar de Kroon, 34, of Hoboken – was killed by debris, and 108 others were injured, mostly on the train, Christie said.

In a photo provided by William Sun, people examine the wreckage of a New Jersey Transit commuter train that crashed into the train station Thursday during the morning rush hour in Hoboken, N.J. Seventy-four of them were hospitalized, some in serious condition, with injuries that included broken bones, bumps and gashes.

“The train came in at much too high rate of speed, and the question is: ‘Why is that?’”

Christie said. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said investigators will determine whether the explanation was equipment failure, an incapacitated engineer or something else.

Some witnesses said they didn’t hear or feel the brakes being applied before the crash.

Authorities gave no estimate of how fast the train was going. But the speed limit heading into the station is 10 mph.

The National Transportation Safety Board planned to pull one of the black-box event recorders Thursday evening from the locomotive at the back of the train. The device contains information on the train’s speed and braking.

But it wasn’t safe enough yet for investigators to pull the second recorder in the engineer’s compartment because of the collapsed roof and the possibility of asbestos in the old building, NTSB Vice Chairwoman Bella Dinh-Zarr said.

Investigators will examine

the engineer’s performance and the condition of the train, track and signals, among other issues, she said. They also plan to look into whether positive train control – a safety system designed to prevent accidents by overriding the engineer and automatically slowing or stopping trains that are going too fast – could have helped.

None of NJ Transit’s trains is fully equipped with positive train control, which relies on radio and GPS signals to monitor trains’ positions and speed.

The NTSB has been pressing for some version of the technology for at least 40 years, and the industry is under government orders to install it, but regulators have repeatedly extended the deadline at railroads’ request. The target date is now the end of 2018.

“While we are just beginning to learn the cause of this crash, it appears that once again an accident was not prevented because the trains our commuters were riding lacked positive train control,” said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y. “The longer we fail to prioritize investing in rail safety technology, the more innocent lives we put in jeopardy.”

Clinton struggles to win over young voters

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI The Associated Press

BOULDER, Colo. – John Morales was interning for Bernie Sanders’ campaign when the longshot Democratic candidate’s hopes started to fade in the spring. That’s when Libertarian Gary Johnson caught his interest.

In many ways Johnson and Sanders are ideological opposites. The Vermont senator is an opponent of foreign trade deals and won over many younger voters in the primaries by calling for enormous government spending to guarantee universal health care and free college tuition. Johnson, the former New Mexico governor, supports smaller government and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

But he shares Sanders’ outsider, tell-it-like-it-is style, social liberalism and skepticism about military intervention overseas – attributes that have won over enough Sanders supporters to worry Democrats he could jeopardize Hillary Clinton’s chances in November.

Morales, a 22-year-old community college student and Army Reservist, is one of those converts – he’s now interning for Johnson.

“He agrees with about 70 percent of what Bernie was saying,” Morales said, adding that many of his friends who liked Sanders now are also drawn to Johnson. “I do believe that he’s got better ideas than Hillary and Trump,” Morales said.

With about a month until Election

College student and former Bernie Sanders supporter Payton Smith, 21, eats lunch Sept. 23 at Cheba Hut, a popular sandwich shop for students at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colo. Many young Sanders supporters describe alienation from the current political process, and distaste for candidate choices, leading some to consider a third-party choice.

Day, Clinton still is struggling to win over young voters who twice helped elect Barack Obama.

“They’re not brand loyal to either party – they’re loyal to ideology and disruption of the status quo,” said Jill Hanauer, a Denver-based Democratic strategist whose firm has polled the age group known as millennials. She said many don’t remember how protest votes for Green Party candidate Ralph Nader helped elect George W. Bush in 2000.

Clinton’s challenge with younger voters is part of what’s keeping the race close. A recent AP-GfK poll found Johnson pulling 14 percent of voters younger than 30, Green Party nominee Jill Stein with 3 percent and “other” with 6 percent. Clinton had the backing of 48 percent of young voters, compared with the 60 percent Obama notched in 2012.

Trump had 27 percent in the poll.

“Most of the supporters and volunteers who come in here are former Bernie people,” said Woodrow Johnston,

the Las Vegas-based deputy director of youth outreach for the candidate.

“I think that for the most part people buy more into themes – or character – than issues.”

Clinton’s campaign plans to have popular surrogates, including Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and Sanders make her case. Their arguments to young people won’t directly target Johnson but instead will focus on the potential consequences of voting for a third-party candidate.

“If you don’t vote, that’s a vote for Trump,” Obama declared this week on the Steve Harvey radio show. “If you vote for a third-party candidate who’s got no chance to win, that’s a vote for Trump.”

Johnson’s support among younger voters has roiled the campaign, especially in Colorado, although he’s hurt himself with recent gaffes. This week he’s being mocked for being unable, in a TV appearance, to name a single world leader he admired. That awkward moment drew a comparison by Johnson himself to his “Aleppo moment” this month, when he didn’t recognize the besieged city in Syria.

Still, Clinton has struggled to win over supporters of Sanders, who handily won the Democratic primary here.

A CNN poll this week suggested third-party candidates could make a difference in Colorado: The poll found a nominal one-point lead for Trump when Johnson and Stein were included in the survey, while Clinton had a twopoint lead when they were not.

More than another call: Chief talks about school shooting The ASSOCIATED PRESS TOWNVILLE, S.C. – When two volunteer firefighters rolled up to an elementary school shooting, they said they found only a wrecked black pickup truck at the playground. There was no gunman, and no one inside the truck.

Within minutes, however, they performed actions that led to them being hailed as heroes throughout their tightknit South Carolina hometown: One went inside to help treat the wounded and the other searched for the shooter.

“This was more than just another call to us. This incident occurred in the school where our children and the children of the community attend,” Townville Fire Chief Billy McAdams said Thursday during a news conference, pausing to collect himself as he recalled the harrowing events of the day before.

Authorities said the teen shot his fa-

ther at their home before driving the pickup 3 miles down a country road lined with chicken houses and pine trees to Townville Elementary School.

He only had to make two turns to arrive at the red brick school, where he crashed the truck, got out and fired at a door as it was being opened for recess, authorities said.

Bullets struck two students and a first-grade teacher, and the building was immediately placed on lock down.

Anderson 4 Superintendent Joanne Avery said staff saved lives by flawlessly implementing active-shooter training drills conducted with students over the past few years – at Townville Elementary, most recently just last week.

All six schools in the rural district went through annual drills in August, but a nearby carjacking prompted Townville officials to do it again, she said.

All district administrators trained just Monday on a new crisis response

app put on their cellphones, which included an active-shooter scenario.

Although shot in the shoulder, the teacher “was with-it enough” to close the door, lock it and barricade the students, Avery said.

“If he’d gotten in the school, it would’ve been a different scenario,” she said.

The shooter then fired toward students on the playground but missed.

A teacher who heard the first gunshot was able to get those students safely inside, Avery said.

The school’s staff “put their fear to the side because they put those children first,” she said.

One of the wounded, 6-year-old Jacob Hall, remained in critical condition Thursday and was said to be fighting for his life. A sign outside a diner conveyed the sentiments of an entire community: “Pray for Jacob. Pray for Townville.”

The teacher who was shot in the

shoulder and another student who was hit in the foot were treated and released from a hospital, officials said. The teen was arrested minutes after the shooting and a Family Court hearing was set for Friday to determine if he should remain in jail or be released.

Classes are scheduled to resume at the school Monday, but second-grader Mattie LeCroy doesn’t want to go.

Asked whether she was scared to return to school, the blond-haired 7-yearold simply nodded her head “yes” after dropping off flowers for Jacob with her mom at the town’s fire station.

The violence was a punch in the gut to people around Townville, where residents say some families have lived on the same land since before the Civil War. Outside a church where workers offered counseling and other aid to residents, both U.S. and Confederate flags decorate graves in the burial yard.

Change won’t be found at the ballot box SPRINGFIELD – On Monday nights, my family cleans the house.

Usually we listen to whatever cartoons our kids are watching as we sweep and mop. But Monday was different. It was debate night.

That means on the night we swept up dirt, we could watch Donald and Hillary sling it.

I’m generous when I use the term “debate” because instead of a rational discourse on public policy, it was more like someone threw two rabid cats in a burlap sack and let them claw it out.

I’ve spent three decades covering politics. The process and personalities fascinate me.

I’m riveted by the minutia of campaigns and the post-election posturing of those chosen to

VIEWS Scott Reeder serve.

But to be honest, year after year, decade after decade, I’ve become more cynical about the process.

And after Monday night’s debate, I find myself beyond cynical.

I found myself listening to a woman who I disagree with and a man who disgusts me.

I’m not alone in my frustration.

The morning of debate day, I sat at the counter of a Springfield café eating breakfast and listened to two men who were sitting next to me quarrel about

the election.

I knew things were getting bad when I overheard one of the fellas say “I’d sure rather look at Trump’s wife – she’s good-looking – than at Hillary in those pantsuits.”

Is this how we are really going to choose the leader of the Free World?

This is an important election.

But let’s keep things in perspective.

Neither candidate is likely to make us happier.

That’s not in their bailiwicks.

When this election is over, we’ll still mow our own lawns, help our kids with their homework, save for retirement, go to work, cook our own meals and shop for whatever is on sale at the supermarket.

OUR VIEW

No excuse to not cast a ballot in election As of Thursday, there were 40 days left until Nov. 8, otherwise known this year as Election Day. But you don’t have to wait 40 days to cast your ballot. You can pretty much vote any weekday (and even a few weekends) now through Nov. 8.

Thursday was the first day to cast a ballot in the November election through early voting options.

Ballots can be cast through the mail (often done by those in the military or temporarily residing overseas); early voting at the county clerk’s office (and possibly some municipal offices too); and if you don’t register to vote or change your address by the deadline (Oct. 11), you can do grace period voting where you register late – but have to cast you ballot right then.

All this means you have no excuse for not voting in this year’s election.

Gone are the days when ballots could just be cast on Election Day; there is no reason everyone can’t do their civic duty.

We do offer this caveat, though, if you’re casting your ballot early: Do your research before you vote. While the presidential race has dominated

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

this year’s election’s cycle, there are other races on the ballot that deserve your attention.

There are county board and countywide races on the ballot. Some of you may have a referendum to consider.

There are some state Senate and House races, as well as seats for U.S. Senate and House.

And many of those contests will have a larger affect on your everyday life than who winds up being president.

Generally speaking, the smaller the government (think county board), the bigger the chance the action it conducts will actually impact your life.

Candidates have websites and Facebook pages. Visit your county clerk’s website to view sample ballots and find out where you can cast a ballot. We are working on getting Election Central – our online clearinghouse of local election news that will include questionnaires sent to candidates in contested races – up in the next few weeks so you have another place to go for information.

Make a commitment this year to make sure your voice is heard. Just make sure it’s informed.

And Trump and Clinton will be living their fancy lives in gated mansions and private jets.

And while none of us is married to a former president or a past supermodel, we have folks who love us despite our quirks.

Whoever sits in the Oval Office doesn’t get to decide whether we are happy or sad. That’s up to each of us.

In November, please vote. But don’t expect it will change your life.

If you want change, don’t look in the ballot box. Look in the mirror.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We all have just one vote; what do you want with yours?

To the Editor: The last three issues of the Will County Gazette printed names of local government employees and their compensation packages. The benefit package we gave them is much better than we can afford for ourselves. Our leaders forgot who they represent because we give our elected officials a carte blanche year after year with our votes of approval.

Most of us are still struggling with the increased cost of living, health care rising and our wages not keeping up. The threats of their strikes are real. Something is wrong and we can’t afford it.

Don’t we all belong to the same union, America? And our president is our leader. And shouldn’t all of us have health care when we need it, a retirement we can live on at 55, and a guaranteed job to earn enough to live and pay our fair share of taxes?

We should all share these benefits equally, and if not, our mayor should withhold our taxes from that government until the issue is resolved.

That’s right, he represents all of you in Joliet. Everyone has their own mayor to stand up for them.

In the mid-1700s, the colonies discovered they can govern themselves better than someone they can’t talk to and they revolted.

Five hundred years later, we are faced with this same problem; we no longer control who our president will be; other people’s money is doing our talking.

If we don’t wake up and include every American getting the same benefits, we will continue being divided, subject to who will be our next dictator.

Wake up, America! Everyonepays. com is something we can do, if enough of us are willing get together and demand freedom through our constitution. We the people.

“Loyola’s 285 was going to be hard to beat today,” Platt said. “They had 70, 71, 72 and 72. And the other teams got us because of the 66s. So they played well; and our problem was that we had to take a 77 as our fourth score, and you can’t count that on this golf course.

“If we break 300 the rest of the way in, sign me up because that will be perfect. I tell the kids that even though this means something, it really doesn’t mean that much because October is much more important than this. The kids have played the regional course a few times and then hopefully will have a practice round at Lick Creek for sectionals, anticipating if they get through, they’ll play that and the goal is obviously to be in Bloomington.

“This is the first year that I’ve had a team that can hit the ball low. If you go down to The Den [at Fox Creek, site of the state finals] and hit the ball high, for the most part, you have no chance. If they can get there, I like our chances.”

While Costello wasn’t able to pull off the rare feat of winning three straight CCL titles, he was recognized as the Tony Lawless Award winner. The fourtime all-CCL recipient has enjoyed great success in September, earning medalist honors in three tournaments and sharing that distinction with Cascino on another occasion.

After placing fourth and sixth the last two years to earn All-State honors, Costello hopes that his team gets back to state and finishes better than they did in 2014, when they were fourth.

“Obviously, I’m pretty disappointed with how we played as a team,” Costello said. “But like J.P. said, it’s still a score in the 200s, and in October, I’m taking any score in the 200s, any day. The conditions were windy and rainy, which is something that we can expect to see at state, so this was kind of a good preview for us. It’s maybe not a bad thing since it could be a little wake-up call for us. This will probably just make us work harder going into the playoffs.”

“When I hit it, I hope it would be near the flag,” Erickson said. “I thought that would be cool.

“I actually could see it disappear in the hole, but I didn’t believe it. After that hole, I had a better attitude, for sure.”

“In her last match at Inwood, that hole-in-one was really cool,” Joliet coach Jim Grzetich said.

Word of Erickson’s shot spread throughout Inwood as teammates and opponents alike could not hide their excitement.

Meanwhile, Minooka’s veteran group – Arlis, Sharp, Maddie Erickson and Holmes all are seniors – went about their business as well as or better than they have all season. Arlis said her 79 was her best 18-hole round and Sharp said the same of her 80.

“I had some ups and downs, but the downs weren’t super bad,” said Arlis, also a basketball and soccer standout.

“My worst hole was a double bogey. I was happy with that.”

Arlis laughed that she always eats quite a bit, but she went a little overboard after the round she shot.

“I’ve eaten a lot,” she said. “I think it’s the excitement. It got to me.”

Arlis went 40-39 on the two nines, and Sharp came in at 40-40. Sharp said her round started with two double bogeys, then got on track.

“I had some birdies, and that helped,” she said.

“We did well as a group today, especially with the conditions,” Minooka coach Joe Host said. “A 332 team score is pretty good. Anytime you can have three scores 83 and below, you’re going to make it tough on everyone else.”

Host has been coaching for about a decade and usually has had a balanced team, but this one is different. “We are scoring between 39 and 42 consistently (for nine holes), and that’s lower than

we have ever shot,” he said.

Joliet’s Palmer was leading Krahulik by 1.5 season points entering the tournament and settled for second overall as Krahulik closed with 36.5 points to Palmer’s 35.5 “I didn’t shoot as well as I wanted today,” said Palmer, who noted that her last few 18-hole rounds at Inwood have been in the 70s. “But our team has had a good season, and I’m happy for that.”

“I’m really happy for our seniors,”

Grzetich said of Holly Erickson and Alyssa Hornbuckle (who shot 96). “We have a goal to advance through the regional next week, and I think we have a decent shot.”

Plainfield North’s MacKenzie Wolendowski, who was a mere half-point behind Palmer in season points entering the tournament, shot 89 to share eighth place with Plainfield East’s Taylor Whitner. Wolendowski’s 30 total points were good for third place, and Sharp finished fourth with 27.

Also earning all-conference laurels were Plainfield South’s Mandi Granato (25.5 points), Arlis (24), Maddie Erickson (23.5), Hawkins (16), Plainfield Central’s Heather Bush (14.5), Plainfield North’s Maddy Dwyer (11.5), Holly Erickson (11.5) and Holmes (7.5). Granato, Bush and Dwyer all shot 92 in the tournament.

Minooka made it a sweep, winning the nine-hole junior varsity tournament with a 196 total. The Indians had the medalist in Megan Chiapetta, who shot 48 and won on the tiebreaker. Minooka’s Abby Pettigrew and Oswego East’s Hanna Raza also shot 48.

LEMONT – In its quest to be one of the state’s best boys golf teams this year, Providence Catholic put together an incredible streak where it not only won team titles in the first six Illinois tournaments it competed in, but also had the medalist in each of those events.

Continuing a run of success like that throughout an entire season is obviously difficult, as the Celtics learned during Thursday’s Chicago Catholic League Championships at Cog Hill.

Not only did coach John Platt’s squad fail to capture the CCL title, but it finished fourth while Ricky Costello fell short in his quest for a third-straight individual championship.

Loyola Academy shot a 285 to repeat as Catholic League champion and also won its fifth title in seven years. Fenwick and St. Francis both fired a 294 ,with the Friars claiming second place

on a fifth scorecard tiebreaker while the Celtics finished with a 297.

On many days, Costello’s three-under par 69 would have been good enough to win the title, but not on this occasion.

Fenwick’s Jack Mortell and St. Francis’ Luke Armbrust both turned in 66 totals, with Mortell shooting a 30 on the front nine. The pair played three more holes before Mortell won the playoff.

Joining Costello with a 34 on the front nine for the Celtics was Adam Harrington, who posted a 41 on the back to shoot a 75, which was the team’s second-best round of the day.

Zach Bilotta fired a 76 and Tyler Roat added a 77 to round out Providence’s top four scores. Mike Cascino (78) and Andy Holm (81) were the Celtics’ other competitors.

Despite seeing the run of tournament titles come to an end, Platt is more concerned about how the Celtics fare in what he hopes are three more tournaments, which begin on Tuesday with the Class 3A Joliet Central Regional at

PREP FOOTBALL: WEEK 6 PREVIEW CAPSULES BOLINGBROOK AT LOCKPORT Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Lockport 33, Bolingbrook 16 Records: Bolingbrook 1-2, 2-3 in SouthWest Suburban; Lockport 4-1, 2-1 The skinny: The combination of running back Tavares Moore and quarterback Ben Davis has taken Lockport to the brink of a playoff berth. Bolingbrook’s back is to the wall, needing to win three of its last four against a difficult schedule. Quarterback Anthony Vespo needs to have a good night to complement the Raiders’ running game against the Porters’ solid defense.

The pick: Lockport BRADLEY AT LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday Last year: Bradley 49, Lincoln-Way Central 0 Records: Bradley 5-0, 3-0 in SouthWest Suburban; Lincoln-Way Central 4-1, 2-1 AP rankings: Bradley is No. 2 in Class 7A. The skinny: Bradley is coming off a huge 22-21 come-from-behind victory over Bolingbrook. Lincoln-Way Central likely will secure a playoff berth with a victory. Hunter Campbell has completed 50 percent of his passes for 460 yards and seven touchdowns, and the Knights likely will need production from the passing game against the Boilermakers’ defense.

The pick: Bradley NORMAL COMMUNITY AT LINCOLN-WAY WEST Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet.

Records: Normal Community 4-1, Lincoln-Way West 4-1 AP rankings: Normal Community is No. 7 in Class 7A, Lincoln-Way West is tied for No. 8 in Class 7A. The skinny: High-scoring Normal led Peoria Richwoods only 33-28 at halftime last week before exploding for a 68-28 victory as Varshaun Dixon rushed for 168 yards and Grant Price completed 15 of 21 passes for 181. However, defense is the No. 1 element in Lincoln-Way West’s repertoire. The Warriors allowed only seven second-half points and 27 in all last week against one of the state’s best offensive machines, Homewood-Flossmoor.

The pick: Lincoln-Way West LINCOLN-WAY EAST AT ANDREW Kickoff: 7:15 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet.

Records: Lincoln-Way East 4-1, 2-1 in SouthWest Suburban; Andrew 0-5, 0-3 AP rankings: Lincoln-Way East is No 6 in Class 8A. The skinny: Lincoln-Way East should be in position to use most or all of its deep bench as Andrew has been struggling. East has flourished in the air; the Griffins boast two of the area’s top three receivers. Jeremy Nelson has caught 31 passes for 492 yards and six touchdown, and Nick Zelinika has 36 receptions for 425 and three scores.

The pick: Lincoln-Way East

NAZARETH AT JOLIET CATHOLIC Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday Last year: JCA 38, Nazareth 35 (regular season); Nazareth 35, JCA 21 (playoffs) Records: JCA 0-5, 0-3 in East Suburban Catholic; Nazareth 2-3, 0-3 The skinny: Two of the best teams in the ESCC and in Class 5A before this season both are in the unfamiliar position of being winless through three conference games. A common opponent is Notre Dame, which beat Nazareth, 22-17, and JCA, 35-17. The Hilltoppers, who are celebrating homecoming, were tied at Marian Central early in the fourth quarter last week and seem to be getting closer to their first victory.

The pick: JCA JOLIET WEST AT PLAINFIELD CENTRAL Kickoff: 1 p.m. Saturday Last year: Did not meet.

Records: Joliet West 3-2, Plainfield Central 0-5 The skinny: This is the traditional Saturday afternoon homecoming game at Plainfield Central. The Wildcats continue to show some improvement under first-year coach Jon Pereiro, although the defense was lacking in last week’s 56-28 loss to Minooka. West, meanwhile, was strong in all phases of the game in a 25-0 blanking of Plainfield East.

The pick: Joliet West PLAINFIELD NORTH AT JOLIET CENTRAL Kickoff: 6:30 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet.

Records: Plainfield North 3-2, Joliet Central 1-4 The skinny: Plainfield North is coming off a 21-14 loss to unbeaten Oswego East, while Joliet Central was shut out against Plainfield South, 35-0, last week. The Tigers have quick-

strike capability on offense and a fast defense that will provide another difficult challenge for the Steelmen offense.

The pick: Plainfield North ROMEOVILLE AT MINOOKA Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Minooka 46, Romeoville 0 Records: Minooka 3-2, Romeoville 0-5 The skinny: Minooka quarterback John Carnagio has completed nearly 64 percent of his passes for 1,320 yards and 12 touchdowns.

With area receiving leader Isaiah Hill among the targets, the Romeoville secondary will be tested early and often. Hill has 21 catches for 544 yards, a 25.1 average, and nine touchdowns.

The pick: Minooka

0

PLAINFIELD SOUTH AT PLAINFIELD EAST Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Plainfield South 26, Plainfield East

Records: Plainfield South 3-2, Plainfield East 2-3 The skinny: Plainfield South’s defense pitched a shutout, and its offense came alive in last week’s 35-0 victory over Joliet Central.

Plainfield East, meanwhile, lost the battle to Joliet West’s playmakers in a 25-0 defeat.

The Bengals may have a difficult time getting things going in a positive direction against the Cougars’ defense.

The pick: Plainfield South MORRIS AT DeKALB Kickoff: 7:15 p.m. Friday Last year: DeKalb 35, Morris 21 Records: DeKalb 4-1, 2-0 in Northern Illinois Big 12 East; Morris 4-1, 1-0 AP rankings: Morris is No. 7 in Class 5A, DeKalb No. 9 in Class 6A

The skinny: The Morris defense, which has been strong most of the season, will be put to the test. In DeKalb’s key 49-31 win over Kaneland last week, Delvin Williams, a transfer from Chicago Bogan, rushed for 140 yards in 26 carries while quarterback Derek Kyler hit 14 of 22 passes for 217 yards and rushed for 113 more.

The pick: DeKalb LEMONT AT HILLCREST Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Lemont 45, Hillcrest 0 Records: Lemont 5-0, 2-0 in South Suburban Blue; Hillcrest 4-1, 2-1 AP rankings: Lemont is No. 4 in Class 6A The skinny: Lemont continues to roll behind a defense that has allowed 38 points, 7.6 per game, and an offense that features quarterback Spencer Nagel and running backs Jake Kirkman and Anthony Martin. Nagel has completed 67 percent of his passes for 704 yards and 11 touchdowns. Hillcrest’s loss was 42-24 to T.F. South, its only opponent to date that is above .500.

The pick: Lemont SENECA AT REED-CUSTER Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Seneca 41, Reed-Custer 20 Records: Seneca 3-2, 1-2 in Interstate Eight Small; Reed-Custer 3-2, 2-1 The skinny: This game carries much more importance than it might have appeared in the preseason. Both sides have struggled in recent years but are only two victories from playoff qualification, so both badly want to win. The Reed-Custer running game, with Vince Vercelote and Jaxon Hendershot the major threats, could be the difference.

The pick: Reed-Custer

WORLD CUP OF HOCKEY: CANADA 2, TEAM EUROPE 1

Canada beats Europe, wins World Cup

By LARRY LAGE

The Associated Press TORONTO – Brad Marchand scored a short-handed goal with 43.1 seconds left and Canada beat Team Europe, 2-1, Thursday night to win the World Cup of Hockey.

The Canadians won the best-ofthree finals, 2-0.

Patrice Bergeron tied it with a power-play goal with 2:53 left in the third, and Marchand won it with a shot from the slot.

Canada has won 16 straight games, including two Olympic gold medals, since losing to the U.S. in the 2010 Olympics.

Carey Prince made 32 saves for the Canadians, who started slow before ending the tournament with a furious rally that fired up a once-quiet crowd.

Zdeno Chara scored early for Europe, and Jaroslav Halak made 32 saves for the eight-nation team.

Sidney Crosby was named MVP of the tournament with three goals and a World Cup-high 10 points.

After getting that award, he was presented with a silver World Cup of Hockey trophy, and he skated with it around the ice just months after host-

ing the Stanley Cup for the second time in his career.

He set up the tying goal, passing the puck off the boards to Brent Burns, whose shot just inside the blue line was redirected by Bergeron’s raised stick.

Crosby was stewing after each of the first two periods.

When the game was over, he was sporting an ear-to-ear smile.

The Canadians closed the game in impressive fashion after a lackluster start.

In front of an unenthusiastic crowd and a lot of empty seats in the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Canadians started flat and the Europeans made them pay for their apparent apathy.

Unlike the last two times Canada trailed briefly to the U.S. and Russia, it could not come back against Europe quickly.

It looked as if it wasn’t going to be Canada’s night when John Tavares had a wide-open net to shoot into, but hit the right post from the bottom of the right circle. Earlier in the same shift, the New York Islanders forward missed the net on a one-timer opportunity.

Brooklyn Bachmann (24 assists), Taylor Baranski (17 digs, two aces) and Alli Papesh (10 kills, seven digs).

Lincoln-Way West 25-25, Lincoln-Way Central 15-22: Noelle Knezz had eight

kills and seven assists to lead West (1411) to the SouthWest Suburban win.

Kirsten Leitshuh added seven aces.

Plainfield North 26-25, Romeoville 2422: Payton Koranda led Romeoville

with eight kills and Riley Boyette had five kills in the Southwest Prairie loss.

Joliet West 27-25, Oswego 25-18: Jessica Koerner had 11 kills and 11 digs for West (14-5, 5-3) in the Southwest Prairie win.

Seneca 23-25-26, Westmont 25-22-24:

Cora Wilkinson (14 kills, 15 assists) and Emily Woods (10 kills, 14 assists) led Seneca to the I-8 win.

BOYS SOCCER Joliet West 3, Plainfield Central 2:

Ethan Pranckus scored twice, while Miguel Garcia got the eventual game-winner for the Tigers (7-10).

BOYS GOLF Central wins Lincoln-Way Cup: The

Knights shot a 162 while East was second with a 178 and West took third with a 186. East’s Kevin Bullington was the medalist with a 38.

Joliet Catholic at ESCC meet: Jake Pluth shot an 81 to tie for ninth while the Hilltoppers finished in seventh place with a 342 total.

CUBS 1, PIRATES 1 (tie-6 inn.)

Cubs-Pirates stopped by rain, first tie in majors since 2005

By JOHN PERROTTO The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH – The Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates played to the first tie game in the major leagues since 2005 when rain forced the teams to stop in the sixth inning Thursday night with the score 1-all.

The Cubs and Pirates aren’t scheduled to play again this season, and the game won’t be made up because it doesn’t affect postseason positioning.

So instead of becoming a suspended game, the stats count and it was declared a tie – the first since Houston and Cincinnati went seven innings on June 30, 2005, before rain halted them.

Willson Contreras had two hits and scored for the NL Central champion Cubs, who already have clinched the best record in the majors. Josh Bell hit a sacrifice fly for the Pirates.

The game was called in the top of the sixth after a delay of 1 hour, 23 minutes.

Tim Federowicz hit a sacrifice fly

in the Cubs second. Pittsburgh tied it in the third.

Cubs rookie Rob Zastryzny gave up one unearned run in 32/3 innings in his first major league start after beginning his career with seven relief appearances.

Manager Joe Maddon opted to use all relievers as he prepares his team for the postseason.

After losing his previous two starts, Ivan Nova allowed one run and four hits in 51/3 innings with five strikeouts and no walks.

It was the final start of the season for Nova, who went 5-2 in 11 starts after being acquired Aug. 1 from the New York Yankees in a trade. He is eligible for free agency after the World Series.

Pittsburgh is 78-80 and needs to sweep its season-ending three-game series at St. Louis that starts Friday night in order to extend its streak of winning seasons to four. The Pirates had 20 straight losing seasons from 1993-2012, the record for major North American team professional sports.

• Friday, September 30, 2016

BLOOMINGTON – Providence Catholic’s boys soccer team has played well of late, winning five in a row and seven of its last eight matches.

That recent success has helped the Celtics to receive the top seed in Sub-Sectional B in their Class 2A sectional when the IHSA announced seeds for the sport Thursday.

Also in that sub-sectional, which will match up with teams from the south suburbs and the city’s south side in the finals of a TBA sectional that feeds into the Lemont Super-Sectional, Morris is the second-seed, Kankakee got the three-seed and Lemont drew the fourth-seed.

In Class 3A, Minooka is the thirdseed, and Joliet Central is seeded seventh in the 10-team Sub-Sectional A that feeds into the Peoria Notre Dame Sectional. Normal Community earned the top-seed, while Normal West is seeded-second.

The top area team in the Lincoln-Way Central Sectional is Lincoln-Way West, which is seeded 12th, one spot ahead of Lincoln-Way Cen-

tral. Bradley-Bourbonnais beat out Oak Lawn for the top-seed. Winners of this sectional and the one in Peoria meet up in a supersectional at a site still to be announced.

Also in 3A, five area teams are seeded between ninth and 13th in the Bolingbrook Sectional. Those squads are Plainfield North, Plainfield East, Romeoville, Lockport and Bolingbrook. Naperville North is the top-seed, while Naperville Central is second-seeded. The winner of that sectional plays the Morton sectional winner at the Lewis University Supersectional.

In Class 1A, Wilmington is the third-seed, while Coal City is sixth-seeded in Sub-Sectional A in the Manteno Sectional. Peotone drew the third-seed in Sub-Sectional B in that sectional. The Manteno Sectional winner advances to the Chicago Christian Super-Sectional.

BEARS NOTES

RB Howard, ‘O’-line get set for Detroit Lions’ pass rush

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – Without Ziggy Ansah rushing off the edge because of an ankle injury, the Lions aren’t as imposing of a defensive front, but unknown defensive end Kerry Hyder is picking up the slack with four sacks this season – as many as the entire Bears defense through three games.

The Lions will mix things up in their front seven, so communication will be key for the Bears’ offensive line and backs as they look to keep Hyder and the defensive line out of the backfield.

“They do a really good job up front.

And they have for a couple years,” Bears’ offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said. “They move [Hyder] around.

They’re moving all over the place. And they play a bunch of different fronts. ... There’s a bunch of different personnel groupings. They’ve got guys coming in and out, and that’s definitely the strength of their defense.”

The Bears are coming off their best game in terms of pass protection, when they held the Cowboys without a sack of Brian Hoyer on 49 pass attempts.

Part of Sunday’s protection plan will involve rookie running back Jordan Howard, who has flashed the running skills but isn’t at the level or experience as a pass protector as the injured Jeremy Langford.

“He’s getting there. He’s getting closer. A lot of work in protections,” Loggains said. “In the NFL, it’s a little bit different than college football with all the different fronts and with all the different personnel packages. He’s working really

hard to get caught up to speed with that, but he’s doing a nice job as a runner.”

Howard said he’s been spending extra time with running backs coach Stan Drayton to work on pass protection and the Lions’ blitzes, and it can’t hurt having Joique Bell – a former Lion – in the room, too, as the Bears get set for Sunday.

Cutler sits out: After being limited in Wednesday’s practice, QB Jay Cutler did not participate Thursday because of his sprained thumb.

“I think we just didn’t want to aggravate it more,” said coach John Fox, who himself was back at practice after missing Wednesday with a stomach bug.

“Again, a thumb on a throwing hand of a quarterback is a delicate situation. So we just figured we wouldn’t go out there and have any stress on it.”

WR Alshon Jeffery (knee/hamstring) was limited along with LG Josh Sitton, DE Jonathan Bullard, OLB Willie Young, S Harold Jones-Quartey, OLB DB Sherrick McManis and CB Tracy Porter.

Boost for White: Loggains said he believes WR Kevin White “took a big step as far as building some confidence” in last week’s loss to Dallas, where the 2015 No. 7 pick had 14 targets and a highlight-reel 32-yard catch. “[Jeffery] wasn’t at full speed, and obviously, we started pushing the ball more towards Kevin’s side,” Loggains said, “which was nice to see him step up and make some tough catches. He started getting open versus some press coverages and had a better feel in zone.”

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

JOLIET – Two members of the Philatelic Club of Will County recall the moment they, at age 8, became stamp collectors.

For club President Rod Juell, of Joliet, it began by purchasing an orange bag of H.E. Harris stamps, an assortment that cost 50 cents.

Gary Martin, also of Joliet, clearly recalled the souvenir stamp album from the Wisconsin Dells that his aunt and uncle purchased for him.

“It had a red Indian on the cover,” Martin said.

An avid stamp collector? New to the hobby? Never seen a stamp collection? Everyone is welcome to attend the Will County 2016 Stamp Show on Oct. 8.

In addition to stamp dealers and a merit badge clinic for Boy Scouts, the event will feature a number of stations that will show attendees how to identify stamps, mount stamps, care for stamps and detect watermarks.

“There will be plenty of members to explain to newcomers what the hobby is and how to get started,” Juell said.

He said some people collect only stamps or stamps from certain countries. Others also collect the stamp history, such as rates and destinations, he added.

Today, Juell, part-time interim pastor at Followers of Christ Lutheran Church in Plainfield, author of the “Encyclopedia of United States Stamps and Stamp Collecting” – now in its second edition – and monthly columnist for American Stamp Dealer & Collector, focuses on stamps of the 1920s.

Through the years, Martin has formed collections of stamps from the British West Indies and early French colonies, but he no longer has them. Martin is attracted to stamps with paintings, etchings and engravings.

“I think they’re much more beautiful,” he said.

Like many hobbies that wax and wane over time, stamp collecting is less popular these days than in decades past. At the age when Juell

“As a teen growing up in New York I worked in a bakery after school, and each week spent part of my pay at the stamp counter in the stationery store located next door,” Juell said in an email.

But there’s a reason kids today aren’t as interested in stamps.

“The volume of first-class mail is way down from what it was a few years ago,” Juell said. “It’s not as easy for a kid to simply go into the post office and buy some new stamps as when Gary and I were small.”

That doesn’t mean stamp collecting is a dying hobby. For instance, on Oct. 29, Juell will participate in the grand opening of the American Philatelic Research Library in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania – the largest stamp library in the world.

“If the post office stopped issuing stamps tomorrow, we still have 150plus years that the world has been issuing stamps,” Juell said. “For anyone with any interest in history or culture or geography, it’s always going to be a vibrant hobby.”

In some ways, the technology age has made it easier to collect.

“It used to be if you wanted to buy new stamps, you had to go to a dealer,’ Juell said. “Now you can get some very elusive stamps right on the internet.”

Stamp collecting still has benefits for 21st century youth, who do still collect. Juell said the International World Stamp Show held this summer in New York attracted about 1,000 kids.

Martin said the history behind stamps is educational, and deciding how to arrange stamps helps kids to be creative.

“It teaches them how to categorize, to be organized,” Martin said,

U.S. Army All-American Bowl to visit New Lenox school on Sept. 30 FRANKFORT – The U.S. Army All-American Bowl presented by American Family Insurance Selection Tour will visit a local high school on Sept.

30 to select Rebecca LiVigni to the 2017 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band.

Lincoln-Way Central High School will honor this student before her fellow band members, classmates, friends and family during a special recognition event at the school’s auditorium.

The U.S. Army All-American Marching Band performs each year at half-

time of the nationally-broadcasted U.S. Army All-American Bowl. By becoming a U.S. Army All-American, LiVigni is joining an elite group.

Only 125 high school marching band members among the millions in the United States are selected. Band mem-

bers are chosen not just because they excel musically, but because they are mentally and physically agile, they know the importance of teamwork and they are able to adapt to challenging situations, similar to U.S. Army Soldiers.

Joliet McDonald’s hosts Pop-Up Library Event JOLIET – Librarians Yazmin Nielsen and Amanda Gregory were at the Joliet McDonald’s on Broadway on Sept. 10 for the Joliet Library Pop-Up Library Event.

Gregory read the children “Book!

Book! Book!” and then the librarians helped the kids color finger puppets to go with the story. The librarians also told the community about museum passes and helped people sign up for library cards.

The Hamburglar also was honored to be a part of this special day and color finger puppets with the kids. It was a spectacular event.

Special thank-you to Denise Zielinski, the library’s community engagement officer for setting up the event.

and possibly better – than CPR with rescue breathing. That’s because a person who suddenly collapses has a fair amount of oxygen in his or her bloodstream and doesn’t need the extra oxygen supplied by rescue breathing. Stopping compressions for rescue breathing might do more harm than good because it temporarily stops blood flowing to the brain.

All 911 operators are trained to give verbal cues for CPR. You can put your phone on speaker and ask the operator to talk you through the steps. The operator will count out loud to help you administer compressions at about 100 beats per minute.

CPR can be the difference between life and death. It keeps blood circulating until the person’s heart can be shocked back into a normal rhythm with an automated external defibrillator (AED). Emergency personnel will bring and use an AED. Many public areas have AEDs, which use voice prompts, lights and text messages to guide users (even people who haven’t been trained) through the steps.

The AHA, American Red Cross and other organizations offer classes on CPR and using a public defibrillator. You also can learn CPR by using a smartphone app or watching a brief video at www.heart.org/ handsonlycpr. It’s worth the time and effort. Four out of every five cardiac arrests happen at home, so the person you save is likely to be someone you love.

compressions, breathing into a person’s mouth and checking their pulse. But my daughter told me the “new” CPR involves only chest compressions. Is this correct?

Dear Reader: That’s right. Since 2008, the American Heart Association has recommended “hands only” cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if an adult suddenly collapses.

Cardiac arrest usually is to blame when someone collapses and stops breathing. It occurs when the heart’s electrical system malfunctions. The heart beats rapidly and chaotically – or stops beating altogether.

The person stops breathing and becomes unresponsive.

In contrast, when people faint they also lose consciousness for a brief period, but they don’t stop breathing. You don’t want to perform CPR when someone has fainted, so be sure you have determined if the person is breathing.

If someone goes into cardiac arrest, first call 911, then immediately perform CPR. Place the palm of your non-dominant hand on the center of the person’s chest. If, like most people, you’re right-handed, you would place the palm of your left hand on the center of the chest.

Then with the dominant hand (your right hand, in this example), push down forcefully onto the top of your left hand, at about 100 times a minute. Pushing down this way squeezes blood out of the heart and keeps it flowing throughout the body. Every part of that person’s body needs a constant circulation of blood. The brain needs it most: If it doesn’t have a circulation of blood for more than four minutes, brain cells start to die.

In adults with cardiac arrest, this hands-only approach is just as effective –

To do otherwise circumvents the security and safety of the building and puts everyone – including yourself – at risk.

the 2012 presidential election, less than half (42 percent) of Americans who were eligible to vote did so. We are fortunate to live in a country where citizens are allowed to cast a ballot. The direction our country takes domestically and internationally is to a great extent determined by the citizens who exercise that right.

Regular, absentee and early voting all have registration deadlines that vary state by state – some as much as a month before Election Day, which is Nov. 8. So visit the voter registration section of USA.gov/voting, where you will find a button to begin the registration process.

Dear Abby: I work in an office where employee badges are issued and used to gain access to the building. I know most of the people who work here and happily hold the door open for them, but there also are a lot of people I don’t know – some with badges indicating they work here, and others without identification.

Would it be better to ask for ID before holding doors? What about friendly visitors? –

DEAR ABBY Election Day is just over a month Jeanne away. As it apPhillips proaches, many people have questions about voting that could keep them away from the polls this November.

USA.Gov can help. We’re the federal program that connects Americans to government information and services. Responding to questions from people across the country, we created an online guide to voting and elections at USA.gov/voting.

Our goal is to equip everyone with the basic information they need to register and get their vote counted. The information is free, easy to understand and nonpartisan.

There, readers can begin the registration process for their state or contact their local election office to update their voter information, learn what form of identification may be needed and the location of their polling place. We also provide information on how to vote early or absentee – which is helpful for those who can’t get out to vote, or who serve overseas in the military. Learn about sample ballots, tips for researching candidates, accessibility laws for voters with disabilities and much more.

Abby, thank you for sharing USA.gov/voting with your readers, and for your long partnership in connecting them with information from their government. – Nancy Tyler, Senior Editor,

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ll find it difficult to control your emotions this year. Don’t let uncertainty or the actions of others stop you from getting ahead.

Learn from your mistakes and rely on a trusted party to tell it like it is. Focus on personal progress instead of worrying about your rivals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Indulgence will be costly. Keep things in perspective and act responsibly when dealing with domestic and family matters. An offer you receive is better than you think.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t fall into someone’s trap. It’s OK to offer people help, but doing the work while someone else takes credit

will put you in an awkward position. Steer clear of users.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t get frustrated or distracted when you should maintain discipline until you finish what you set out to do. Time is on your side, so do the best you can and avoid interference.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Go over your personal papers and examine matters that concern you. See how you can help a cause you believe in. Arguing will not solve your problems, but intelligence and direct action will.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Whether you apply for a better position or invest in something that interests you, monetary benefits are in sight. Plan a financial strategy that will help build your assets.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your intuition will guide you when dealing with financial, medical or legal matters that are not clear-cut. Follow your heart and take action based on your needs.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Doing too much too quickly will be a bad idea. Observe what’s going on around you. A last-minute change will alter the outcome of a situation that can make or break you financially.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Mix and mingle with people who could contribute to something you want to pursue. A financial offer looks promising and should not be set aside. Act now and prosper.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Social activities that require more action and less talk will work well for you. If you engage in pastimes that

are geared toward a healthier lifestyle, a new opportunity will develop.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Emotions will be difficult to control when dealing with domestic and family matters. Listen and try to be reasonable to avoid an argument. Compromise will pay off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Be open to suggestions, but don’t be willing to take someone’s word as gospel. Do your own fact-finding and make decisions based on what works for you. Ignore idle promises and hearsay.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t let anxiety and anger take control. Put your best foot forward and do something that will make you feel good about yourself and your accomplishments.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You will have decisions to make this year that will change your life and direction.

Changing your location or picking up new skills will help you advance. Don’t procrastinate when you should be following your heart and pursuing your dreams, hopes and wishes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Take responsibility and do what needs to be done. It’s up to you to make things happen, so stop waiting for someone else to take the reins. Stay focused and in control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Do your own legwork. Relying on someone else will lead to disappointment. Make special plans with

a loved one. A romantic gesture will improve your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Push a little harder if you want to bring about change. It’s what you do, not what you say that will count.

Express your concerns and make your decisions clear.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Refuse to let anyone disrupt your plans. If you move forward, you will encounter someone who not only will encourage you to do your own thing, but will assist you in reaching your goal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Raise your profile and boost your reputation by taking part in a conference or trade show. Collaborate and negotiate your way to the top.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Take the initia-

tive and make the first move when it comes to affairs of the heart. Your suggestions and romantic gestures will intrigue a loved one.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your emotions will fluctuate as the day unfolds. Keep your thoughts to yourself to avoid an argument. An affectionate approach will help you persuade someone to see things your way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Taking a trip or attending an event that encourages personal growth, knowledge and enlightenment will open your eyes to new ways of doing things. A romantic encounter will enrich your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Consider your personal and professional situations and the changes that would make you happy. A challenge will do you good and help you decide

what to do next.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Giving in to your emotions will set off a series of unexpected events that will leave you feeling insecure. Use your intelligence to work your way through any dilemma you face.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Plan to do something special and entertaining with the people you love. Taking a pleasure trip or collaborating with someone who shares your creative talents or dreams will bring good results.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t try to impress someone by spending a lot of money.

Concentrate on being frank and building a strong relationship with someone who has something to offer you in return. Romance is in the stars.

Deyth Banger, an English writer, said, “I want two things from you: First, answer ‘Why’ questions, and second, wait before you make your conclusion.”

That isn’t a bad thought process for a bridge player. Why should you play one card rather than another?

Before you choose, is there something better?

In this deal, South reaches our favorite contract, three no-trump.

What should he do after West leads a fourth-highest spade five?

In the auction, North’s two-club rebid was New Minor Forcing (recommended), asking opener for more information. South’s two-diamond continuation denied three-card heart support.

South can see eight top tricks: one spade (given the lead), three hearts, three diamonds and one club. If hearts are 3-3, declarer will have no worries. But if he must lose a heart trick, he might then concede too many spade tricks.

The first key play is to put up dummy’s spade queen at trick one.

If East can take the trick and return the suit, South ducks, wins the third spade, and works to keep West off the lead. Here, though, East plays low. Now declarer must try to stop East from winning a trick. South, rather than playing hearts from the top, should lead a low heart from the board and cover East’s card as cheaply as possible.

Here, West takes declarer’s nine with his jack, but has no winning continuation. His best play is a club shift, but South wins with dummy’s ace, plays a heart to his king, returns to dummy with a diamond, and takes his nine winners: one spade, four hearts, three diamonds and one club.
