JOLIET – There was no dissension Monday among the Joliet City Council when Mayor Bob O’Dekirk introduced Brooke Hernandez-Brewer, whom he intends to appoint Tuesday to fill the seat of former Councilman Jim McFarland.

O’Dekirk said about 20 people applied for the at-large council position and the decision to appoint Hernandez-Brewer was not an easy one to make.

Hernandez-Brewer addressed city council after O’Dekirk’s remarks and listed some of her background. She quickly got to business and said the bottom line is that she fights for people and to make things better.

“I’ve never been a politician, but I’ve always been an activist,” said Hernandez-Brewer, who works at the Will County Recorder of Deeds.

If voted in Tuesday, she would become the first Hispanic female on Joliet City Council. She is a member of the Women’s Loyal Order of the Moose 300 and the American Legion Post 1080.

After Hernandez-Brewer spoke, Councilwoman Bettye Gavin commended

Bolingbrook police investigate apparent slaying

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Police are investigating the apparent slaying of a Bolingbrook man in his home.

“No one is in custody, but we are conducting a death investigation that is very active,” Lt. Anthony Columbus said Monday afternoon. “It will be up to the coroner’s office to determine the manner and cause of death.”

Police were called about 8:12 a.m.

Monday to the 300 block of Greenwood Drive after the body of Todd Frantzen, 50, was discovered in the garage. Frantzen lived alone, Columbus said.

her for her activism and passion for the city. Councilman John Gerl told Hernandez-Brewer she would be a great addition to city council. No council members questioned the appointment.

Hernandez-Brewer said she grew up on Glenwood Avenue and when she married Will County deputy correctional officer Kevin Brewer, she moved just a few blocks away from her childhood home, to the Cathedral Area.

McFarland left the council on Sept. 19 to speed up the process of his replacement after originally saying he would resign at the end of the month.

Water, sewer rates discussed

The city is proposing a 7 percent increase in water and sewer rates in each of the next three years. If approved Tuesday, it would be the first rate increase since 2011.

Joliet hired firm Burns McDonnell in March to review long-term financial needs for the Utilities Department. The firm proposed rate increases between 7 percent and 12.5 percent, noting that national rates have gone up 36 percent since 2011.

The Utilities Department is funded

solely through water and sewer fees and is projected to run out of reserve funds by 2022 if current rates are kept in place. Joliet would use the boost in revenue to fund EPA-mandated water and sewer projects estimated to cost $106 million.

Gerl said he gets questions often in his district about water mains that seem to break all the time along Essington Road.

City Manager Jim Hock replied that the new revenue would help address problems such as those.

Evergreen Terrace case progressing

Joliet Inspector General Chris Regis gave an update to council on the city’s efforts to take ownership of the Evergreen Terrace housing complex. He said the city is on track to meet a target acquisition date of Nov. 1 and he’s “very happy with the progress.”

The city paid $15 million a year ago for Evergreen Terrace after winning a federal condemnation case. But the change in ownership has been held up by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which first wanted to see an appeal of the condemnation case decided.

The city is completing a HUD checklist of requirements.

Herb Wyeth sworn in as new Morris alderman

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick on Monday night appointed Herb Wyeth to fill the 1st Ward alderman vacancy on the City Council.

Despite the Grundy County Republican committee recommendation to replace the seat of Don Hansen with Mary Michael Roth, the council voted, 5-0, with aldermen Duane Wolfe and Bill Martin absent, to fill the seat with Wyeth.

“I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years,” Wyeth said after the meeting. “I am looking forward to serving as an alderman for the 1st Ward.”

Wyeth has been active in the community as a founding member of Morris Cruise Nights.

“Herb has always been an active member of our community,” Kopczick said. “I was contacted by a few residents of the 1st Ward willing to fill the open position, I felt Wyeth was the best

choice for the community.”

Morris Alderman Don Hansen submitted his resignation to Kopczick on June 10 after being appointed to the Grundy County Board to fill a vacant seat left by David Welter, who was appointed as state representative of the 75th District after John Anthony left to take a job with the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Hansen, a Grundy Republican, was chosen for the county board seat due to being the only Republican on the ballot for his district who wasn’t already seated on the board. His term on Morris City Council would have expired May 1, 2017.

The mayor said he had 60 days from the date of the resignation to fill the seat, but he didn’t want to wait to fill the seat.

“Since the term ends on May 1, it’s a short appointment,” Kopczick said.

Wyeth is the third alderman on the eight-member council to be appointed by the mayor since July 2015.

In the article, “One resident plans to run for D-210 board,” that was on page 14 of the Sunday, Oct. 2, 2016, edition of The Herald-News, the full board seats up for election for April 4 were not listed. There are five seats for election; all seats are on the April 2017 ballot with the exception of seats for board Vice President Christine and board member Ron Lullo.

‘ANOTHER TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX’ Silver Cross, Saint Joseph give patients boutiques, support groups

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When Ereen Koscielski was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in 2012, she said she was initially shocked.

Koscielski, 47, of Joliet said she sought medical treatment and the process was frightening. Looking back, she said there were things she would have done differently.

“I think when you hear the word ‘cancer,’ you just do immediately what that doctor in front of you [wants] you to do, because you’re scared, just feeling this is taking over your body and the sooner you get it out, the better,” she said.

Koscielski said that if she could do it again, she would get a second opinion, and do counseling to cope with the emotional effect of breast cancer. She said she didn’t seek a therapist, but she would definitely recommend it.

Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet and Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox both have offerings for patients who need other treatment in addition to what’s necessary medically. That includes support groups, refer-

“I think when you hear the word ‘cancer,’ you just do immediately what that doctor in front of you [wants] you to do, because you’re scared, just feeling this is taking over your body and the sooner you get it out, the better.”

CREST HILL – A miscarriage in September 2015 was heartbreaking enough for Castella McElrath of Crest Hill.

But then in October 2015, when she was 31, McElrath found a lump in her left breast.

McElrath hoped the cause was residual pregnancy hormones. But her obstetrician didn’t like it either and ordered a biopsy. On Dec. 3, McElrath learned she had stage 2 triple negative breast cancer.

Triple negative breast cancer means the tumor doesn’t have any of the three types of receptors known to promote cancer growth, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

The foundation also said triple negative breast cancer is more likely to affect people with a BRCA1 gene mutation, as well as younger people, African-Americans and Hispanics. About 10 percent to 20 percent of diagnosed breast cancers are triple negative, according to the foundation.

McElrath, who has an 11-year-old son named Kameron, had eight rounds of chemotherapy to shrink the tumor.

ral to community resources and assistance with body image.

Silver Cross

People shouldn’t be afraid if they need counselors, said Jody Orr, a social worker with the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center at Silver Cross. She said there can be a stigma attached to counseling.

“They shouldn’t be afraid. It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s just another tool in their toolbox,” Orr said.

Silver Cross offers counseling, rehabilitation, dietary counseling, support groups and classes, a cancer resource center and Siona Health Care Boutique, which has wigs, hats, compression sleeves and other services.

Orr said for counseling for patients with breast cancer, the illness’ effect on women and body image is typically a big focus.

“All cancers come with their special distress, I would say. For a man, prostate cancer comes with incontinence or impotence. … Breast cancer comes with more than its share,” she said.

Orr said she provides brief counseling to get patients through their journey, but also referrals to community resources for counseling, especially if patients have a history of depression before diagnosis.

One referral she makes is to Chicago-based Imerman Angels, which

Presence Saint Joseph

Presence Saint Joseph offers Presence Cancer Care, formerly known as Joliet Oncology-Hematology Associates. Patients there can seek support groups, free beauty services and a boutique with prosthetics, wigs and other breast cancer recovery items.

Nafisa Burhani, vice president of Presence Cancer Care, said the center works closely with the Presence Health system and uses nurse navigators to help patients. She said patients are helped with any social or financial issues that arise.

“We work closely with other foundations in the area dedicated to breast cancer [treatment] like Pink Heals. …

If someone is in a financial situation, we do have a person who is dedicated to take care of that also,” Burhani said.

At the Presence Cancer Care location on Jefferson Street is the Reflections Boutique, which Koscielski said has an American Cancer Society-sponsored program called “Look Good Feel Better.”

She said she’s used the program for beauty techniques. She said when going through chemotherapy, people assume they’ll lose only the hair on their head.

“You’re losing your eyebrows, you’re losing your eyelashes, you’re losing all of your hair, so this program teaches you tricks to look like you don’t have no eyebrows and no eyelashes,” she said.

Orr said she meets two types of people in need of cancer treatment: those who suspect something is going on, and those who are “punched in the stomach.”

“Both need support, different types of support. But I think they

“The black community doesn’t speak to each other much about cancer,” McElrath said. “They don’t like to think about it. They think it will go away.”

But not talking about cancer and not seeking out screenings and testings doesn’t make cancer, especially

breast cancer, go away. McElrath’s aunt was diagnosed with cancer eight years ago.

Ten years ago, McElrath’s mother, Celestine “Tina” McElrath, died from breast cancer. McElrath said she’s had genetic testing but does not carry the BRCA1 genes, although she said her oncologist suspects something ge-

she’s now stage IV metastatic cancer, but she’s keeping positive and will keep going as much as she can.

She said she cannot look at her daughter’s eyes and say she gave up.

“That’s what gets me through every day. … I’m not going to tell her I gave up,” she said. netic is going on.

Celestine McElrath’s story is especially tragic. Castella McElrath recalled how her mother fought with the state to pay for her medical treatments.

“By the time they approved it, the cancer had spread,” McElrath said.

Through T.I.N.A.S., McElrath wants to raise money for cashstrapped cancer patients who still need to pay their utilities and put gas in their cars, and to create scholarships for the surviving children of cancer patients.

“They’ll still need to go to college,” McElrath said.

The 32-year-old also hopes to educate people, especially young people, about the different types of cancer, risk factors, signs and symptoms, the screening process, and the reality that cancer does strike those who are young.

“People my age don’t know anything about cancer,” McElrath said.

JOLIET – This year will set a new record for fatal heroin overdoses in Will County.

“We begin October with over 53 and that’s not including a few pending cases where the toxicology results have to come in to make it official,” Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil said Monday.

“And we still have three months left for the year.”

The previous record of 53 was set in 2012 and matched in 2015. Until 15 years ago, any year with more than one fatal heroin overdose would’ve been unusual.

Some of the heroin-related deaths this year were also linked to fentanyl – a powerful synthetic pain medication that can be mixed in to augment low-quality heroin.

O’Neil confirmed Monday that one toxicology report also showed one heroin user had W-18 in his system when he died in April. W-18 is a pain reliever that was never put on the market because it was too powerful, he said.

“Not a lot of labs can even test for it.

I don’t know if this contributed to his

death, but it was in the heroin,” O’Neil said.

Sheriff’s Police seek driver from deputy’s tree crash

JOLIET – Will County Sheriff’s police are asking for the public’s help in finding the driver of an SUV that pulled out in front of a squad car Thursday night.

About 11:30 p.m. the deputy was heading to a call at Essington Road and Ingalls Avenue when the SUV “pulled into his lane of traffic and came to a stop in the roadway,” sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said.

When the deputy swerved to avoid the SUV, he lost control and the cruiser smashed into a tree on the passenger side, Hoffmeyer said. The deputy, a 2-year-veteran, was extricated from the vehicle and taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center. The deputy’s injuries are not life-threatening, according to police reports.

The SUV did not remain at the scene.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 815-727-3263.

12 Weekly job fairs offered at Workforce Services Division of Will County

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The first of many partnerships between the Workforce Services Division of Will County and the Illinois Department of Employment Security has come to fruition.

This year the two organizations moved into the same building at 2400 Glenwood Ave. in Joliet. From 9 to 11 a.m. Friday, they will host a joint job fair in Suite 100 of that building for their new weekly job fair series.

In the past, both entities hosted job recruitment events for which they would reserve space for one employer at a time. But with the collaboration, a larger space will be reserved each week for 10 to 14 businesses to interact with job seekers.

Workforce Services Division administrative manager Susan Flessner said the arrangement will benefit businesses by connecting them with more job seekers at once and vice versa. But that doesn’t mean past events were lacking interest.

“Not at all,” Flessner said. “In fact, we have a lot of businesses coming here to recruit. Now they can recruit at the

same time.”

All of the businesses interested in recruiting at the division’s Workforce Center of Will County can attend one event and see more job seekers than they would see at an event hosted just for them, Flessner said.

Job seekers only have to make one trip per week to the Workforce Center to talk with multiple businesses about multiple jobs. Businesses will be looking for crew members, drivers, forklift operators, general laborers, machine operators, material handlers, package handlers, pickers and packers, restaurant managers, security officers and warehouse associates.

“As they say at Workforce Service – bring your résumé, dress for success and be ready for an interview,” Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. stated in a news release. “The weekly events will be the beginning of a new work life for many.”

The time and day of the week may change from week to week, Flessner said. The best way to keep up to date on the weekly job fair schedule is by going to Jobs4People.org, and clicking on “job seekers” and then “job fairs” on the left side of the page.

LOCAL BRIEFS Illinois to receive federal funding to support runaway and homeless youth

CHICAGO – Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center is among agencies in Illinois receiving more than $1.8 million in federal funding to provide housing support, case management and treatment services for runaway and homeless youth in Illinois.

Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center Inc. is set to get $200,000 to serve the most vulnerable runaway, homeless and street youth up to age 21 who are located in Will, Kankakee and South Suburban Cook counties, according to a news release from U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin’s office. The Center offers access to temporary living arrangements 24 hours/day, harm reduction counseling and safety plans, assessments, intensive case management and follow-up services.

These investments will provide critical services to keep homeless youth from entering the juvenile criminal justice system, mental health facilities or child welfare programs, according to the news release.

Channahon seeks photos to honor local veterans throughout the month of November

CHANNAHON – In honor of Veterans Day, the Village of Channahon would like to pay tribute to those who have selflessly served our country by displaying their photos in the lobby of the Village Hall throughout the month of November.

The village asks residents to help pay tribute to these men and women by sending or dropping off photos of veterans. The veteran’s name, hometown, branch of service and when/where they served should be included, according to a news release from the village.

Pictures can be dropped off or mailed to: Channahon Village Hall, 24555 S. Navajo Drive, Channahon, IL 60410. Or they can be emailed to Nicole Norris, marketing and communications manager at nnorris@channahon.org.

Photos may get damaged, so the village asks residents do not send in an original photo but instead send in a copy of the photo or those who stop by the village can have a copy made there.

For questions, contact Norris at nnorris@channahon.org or 815-467-6644.

Judge says her past connection Bond reduced for Joliet activist facing forgery, identity theft charges to witness is irrelevant to Will County murder trial

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The judge assigned to preside over the second trial of a man accused of killing his former landlord does not believe her long-forgotten connection to a witness will affect the case.

Miguel Hurtado is scheduled to be brought from a jail in El Paso, Texas, later this month to testify against Martin Elvis Gomez, 31. Gomez, who is representing himself, allegedly stabbed Joseph N. Salamie 111 times, slit his throat and stole $1,200 on May 10, 2007, at Salamie’s horse farm in Peotone Township.

While being held in the Will County Jail, Gomez tried to hire Hurtado to kill an ex-girlfriend who initially provided an alibi for Gomez, but later offered testimony incriminating him in Salamie’s death.

On Monday, Gomez asked Judge Carmen Goodman to recuse herself after learning she’d represented Hurtado in 2002 and 2003 for what appear to be

routine plea deals while she was with the Will County Public Defender’s Office. Goodman was assigned Gomez’s case in 2014 after an appellate court decided Gomez had not been given the proper warnings about representing himself during his first trial in 2011.

Goodman said that while judges must consider and make a record of whether past associations could affect their ability to remain impartial, the law does not require them to transfer cases automatically.

“If I was walking down the street, I wouldn’t know [Hurtado]. I don’t know if he’d know me,” Goodman said.

“Whatever conversations we had 13 years ago, I don’t know how they’d be germane to a 2007 case.”

According to court records, Hurtado pleaded guilty to snatching a purse in August 2002 from the late Gladys Farrington as the then-82-year-old woman was leaving the Jewel on Larkin Avenue in Joliet.

Gomez also is serving a separate 19year prison sentence for solicitation of murder for trying to hire Hurtado.

JOLIET – A judge reduced bail Monday for a local community activist facing forgery and identity theft charges.

Amy E. Sanchez, 37, of Joliet, was being held in the Will County Jail on $200,000 bond since her arrest Sept. 14 by Crest Hill police.

“It’s a serious charge, but this amount is extreme,” Judge Car- Amy men Goodman said Sanchez while reviewing a motion by defense attorney Chuck Bretz to have bond reduced.

“Looking at her history, I see no priors and a lot of community service for a long period of time,” Goodman said.

The judge set the bond at $20,000.

In June 2014, forged payroll checks were being cashed at Supermercado El Guero and being returned when the numbers on the checks didn’t match the numbers for the accounts, according to previous Herald-News reports.

Special Prosecutor Thomas Brown told Goodman the bogus checks ap-

peared to come from Senior Suites of Joliet and Sanchez, who worked at Senior Suites, would verify the employment of the person cashing the check if the grocery store called to confirm it.

Donshai T. Calahan, 34, who investigators identified as the organizer of the scheme, pleaded guilty to two counts of forgery.

Brown told Goodman the forged checks totaled several thousand dollars. Will County State’s Attorney spokesman Charles Pelkie said the case was given to a special prosecutor because the state’s attorney’s office has worked on a number of projects with Sanchez.

Sanchez is a founder of the Collins Street Neighborhood Council and regularly speaks out against gang violence.

In July, Sanchez helped organize a demonstration for peace in front of the Will County courthouse after two black men were fatally shot by police in Louisiana and Minnesota and five police officers were killed in Dallas.

In April, she spoke to Joliet Job Corps students as a member of the Joliet Unity Movement, which encourages young people to improve their lives and the community.

Plainfield South football players kneel during national anthem “The students have constitutional rights, the same as adults.

They have exercised their rights, and the school administration did its best to manage a sensitive situation.”

Tom Hernandez

Plainfield District 202 spokesman has already been said.”

“The students have constitutional rights, the same as adults. They have exercised their rights, and the school administration did its best to manage a sensitive situation,” Hernandez stated.

Kaepernick, a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, retweeted a tweet from Shaun King, senior justice writer for the New York Daily News, of a photo of the Plainfield South players kneeling.

Kaepernick has refused to stand for the national anthem before games because of the history of oppression in the U.S. against blacks and other minorities.

King wrote in his tweet, “We see you fellas.”

PLAINFIELD – A group of Plainfield South High School football players kneeled down during the national anthem before a varsity game Friday, catching the notice of NFL player Colin Kaepernick, who has protested the anthem this year.

About 10 players from South kneeled down during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Friday’s game between the Plainfield South and East football teams.

Tom Hernandez, Plainfield District 202 spokesman, stated in an email that the students were protesting violence in the U.S., and that their kneeling was not an anti-military or anti-police statement.

“They talked to their coach first, who insisted that they also talk to the team and their parents, and be aware of possible repercussions, and that they understand that this would be a one-time thing. This week and beyond, they will stand in unity,” Hernandez stated.

Hernandez stated that South coach Bill Bicker was not available for comment Monday, and that the district did not “have any comment beyond what

What is an automatic standby generator?

“Representing all my clients with integrity and trust you can rely on!”

An automatic standby generator is a back up electrical system that operates whether you are home or away.

Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and it sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

By SARA BURNETT

Here’s a look at some of the issues covered Monday:

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth went after Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk on Monday during the first debate of their U.S. Senate race, criticizing his judgment on national security issues and his “endless” controversial statements.

Kirk, who spoke far less than the Hoffman Estates Democrat and rarely challenged her, used the meeting before the Chicago Tribune editorial board to tout his record as a fiscal conservative and an independent, noting that he broke from his party to support gun control legislation and gay marriage.

The first-term senator from Highland Park is seen as one of the Senate’s most endangered Republican incumbents in a year when Democrats could regain control of the Senate. Illinois, a left-leaning state, tends to elect Democrats in statewide contests, particularly in presidential election years.

ROUNDUP

News from across the state

1

Illinois suspending $30 billion in activity with Wells Fargo

SPRINGFIELD – State Treasurer Michael Frerichs suspended $30 billion in state investment activity with Wells Fargo on Monday, joining a swelling chorus of outrage over the scandal that saw bank employees opening millions of phony accounts to meet sales goals.

Frerichs was uncertain how much the yearlong suspension would cost the nation’s second-largest bank, which

Asked what federal lawmakers could do about Chicago’s increase in gun violence, Kirk said he has proposed legislation to reduce the availability of illegal guns.

The measure, which he co-sponsored with Democratic U.S. Sen. Kristin Gillibrand of New York, would crack down on stores that knowingly sell guns to people who provide the weapons those who can’t legally buy them. He said it’s aimed at a handful of gun stores that law enforcement officials said have sold a large portion of the guns used in Chicago shootings.

Duckworth said she supports gun control measures, such as banning assault weapons. But she said any solution also must include creating jobs in impoverished neighborhoods where unemployed young people are joining gangs as a way to make money.

serves as broker-dealer for state investments, but said it likely amounts to millions of dollars. A company spokesman said it will be far less.

The move by Illinois, which has nearly $1 trillion a year in banking activities, follows closely on similar action last week by California after regulators in that state and the federal government fined the company $185 million.

A federal consent order issued in September found that bank employees, scrambling to meet sales goals, opened about 2 million deposit, credit card, debit card and online accounts without customers’ knowledge, charging fees and, in some cases, damaging their credit so they had to pay higher interest rates on loans.

2

Duckworth said she’d take a multipronged approach to the conflict in Syria, including “surgical air strikes” and pressing Russia and the Syrian government to abide by a ceasefire agreement.

The Iraq War veteran who was injured while serving also said the U.S. must put more pressure on allies that are attacking rebel forces.

Duckworth voted against arming Syrian rebels in 2014, while Kirk supported the measure, which President Barack Obama and others said would help the fight against the Islamic State group.

Kirk, a retired Navy intelligence officer, said he wants the U.S. to create a safe haven for Syrian refugees in Jordan, with the help of the Jordanian government.

COLLEGE COSTS

Duckworth said too many people are weighed down by huge student loan debt and should be allowed to refinance

Supreme Court won’t step into fight over Backpage sex ads

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court won’t hear an appeal from an Illinois sheriff who was ordered to stop threatening credit card companies doing business with classified ad website Backpage.com.

The justices Monday let stand a lower court order that forbids Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart from contacting Visa and MasterCard to disrupt online sex ads linked to human trafficking.

Dart sent “cease and desist” letters last year urging the companies to stop providing payment services for any ads on the website. The companies complied within 48 hours.

Backpage sued, alleging that

to get a lower interest rate.

She also supports free community college. She couldn’t say how much that would cost or who would pay for it. But she said to start, private companies could pick up the cost of college programs in fields where they need more trained workers.

Kirk opposes letting people refinance student loans, and he said the U.S. can’t afford free college.

“I worry about creating a new entitlement program,” he said, adding that voters must elect lawmakers “that don’t promise more free stuff.”

KIRK GAFFES

Duckworth said some of Kirk’s statements have been “irresponsible and not befitting of a U.S. senator.”

She noted he called Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is unmarried, a “bro without a ho” and said Obama was acting like the “drug dealer in chief” when the U.S. made a $400 million to Iran contingent on the return of U.S. prisoners.

Dart was interfering illegally with its ability to do business. A federal judge sided with Dart, finding his letters were protected by the Constitution’s First Amendment.

A federal appeals court reversed that ruling.

Kankakee County sheriff: 4 homicides in less than 36 hours

KANKAKEE – Four homicides, including a triple homicide, occurred in less than 36 hours in a northeastern Illinois township, and police said Monday that it appears the crimes are related.

Ralph Ledet, 46, of Pembroke Township was found dead in his driveway shot in his head about 1 a.m. Saturday, Kankakee County officials said. The next day just before 1 p.m., deputies

investigating a report of three men shot found a father and two sons dead.

Those victims were identified as Reginald Neal, 56, Dangelo Neal, 24, and Davante Hopkins, 21. The Kankakee County coroner planned autopsies Monday.

The three men suffered multiple gunshot wounds, Kankakee County Sheriff Mike Downey said at a Monday news conference.

The three men found dead Sunday were discovered by a relative who called police, Downey said.

Downey said investigators believe the killings were targeted “because of the way they were killed.” He said the victims weren’t restrained, and there were no signs of struggle.

Clinton blasts Trump on taxes, business skills The ASSOCIATED PRESS TOLEDO, Ohio – Hillary Clinton tore into Donald Trump’s tax maneuvering, business skills and trustworthiness Monday as she sought to capitalize on news that the New York real estate mogul may have paid no federal taxes for years. Unfazed, he boasted of using U.S. tax laws “brilliantly” and cast himself as a savvy business survivor poised to save a reeling nation.

Campaigning at a Toledo train station, Clinton castigated Trump as a cold-hearted and bungling businessman who “represents the same rigged system that he claims he’s going to change.” She called for a new law requiring presidential candidates from major parties to release their tax returns, as Trump has refused to do, and she accused him of shirking his responsibility as a taxpayer.

“He’s taken corporate excess and made a business model out of it,” she said. “It’s Trump first and everyone else last.”

The Democrat’s broadside was her first response to a weekend New York Times report that Trump claimed a loss of nearly $916 million in a single year on his personal tax filings. The Times said the size of the loss could have allowed him to avoid federal taxes for nearly two decades, an assertion his campaign neither confirmed nor disputed.

Nor did Trump.

Instead, at a Colorado rally, he portrayed himself as a man who bounced back from financial losses, will recover from a currently difficult stretch of the campaign, and propel the nation to a similar turnaround.

“On Nov. 8, America’s comeback begins,” he told cheering supporters in Pueblo.

As for questions about his tax history, Trump said he

“The unfairness of the tax laws is unbelievable. It’s something I’ve been talking about for a long time, despite, frankly, being a big beneficiary of the laws,” Trump told the crowd in Pueblo. “But I’m working for you now. I’m not working for Trump.”

He acknowledged business failures as well as successes but declared, “I’m still here.”

He said that “our country is in need of a major comeback,” just like the one he was able to pull off after near-financial collapse in the 1990s – and the one, he implied, he would make from his recent drop in the polls after a difficult campaign week.

Several of Trump’s surrogates also rallied to note that the Times report did not allege wrongdoing and they contended the Republican presidential candidate was a “genius” for using the tax system to rebuild his fortune.

At the same time, the Clinton campaign seized on the comment with a new TV ad, asking, “If not paying taxes makes him smart, what does that make the rest of us?”

In her remarks in Ohio,

Clinton mocked: “What kind of genius loses a billion dollars in a single year?”

Other Trump troubles mounted.

Former cast and crew members from the reality TV show “The Apprentice” described for the first time his treatment of women on the set. Show insiders told The Associated Press that Trump rated female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked about which ones he’d like to have sex with.

The campaign issued a broad denial, calling the claims “totally false.”

Also Monday, the New York attorney general’s office ordered the Trump Foundation to immediately stop fundraising in the state, saying it isn’t registered to do so.

The back-to-back bad news piled on a week of Trump missteps and his increasingly aggressive personal attacks on Clinton. Since a rocky debate last week, Trump has engaged in a distracting feud with a former beauty queen he called “Miss Piggy” because she gained weight during her reign. He seemed to try to shift the conversation Saturday night when he suggested, without evidence, that Clinton may have cheated on her husband.

Among young voters, Obama’s popularity may not transfer DURHAM, North Carolina – Paulos Muruts is set to cast his first presidential ballot for Hillary Clinton – if he makes it to the ballot box.

“I might need someone on Election Day to actually convince me to go out and vote,” says the 19-year-old Duke University student, arguing that the Democratic nominee “has the experience” and “exudes the right temperament” but “doesn’t inspire excitement.”

Yet mention Clinton’s would-be predecessor, and Muruts’ eyes light up.

“Love President Obama,” he says. “He’s got swagger.”

Muruts represents a frustrating political reality for Clinton in her matchup against Republican nominee Donald Trump: She’ll fare far better on Election Day among voters age 18-30, but she could fall short of Obama’s totals and turnouts that drove his national victories in 2008 and 2012, a new GenForward survey suggests.

The survey math tells the story. The GenForward survey, conducted Sept. 1-14 by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that 54 percent of voters age 18 to 30 held a negative view of Clinton. Just 41 percent said they see her favorably. At the same time, 60 percent of respondents said they approve of Obama’s job performance, while 26 percent do not. That’s a difference of 19 percentage points between the president’s job approval and Clinton’s favorability.

Any drop-off in the “Obama coalition,” whether because of defections to minor candidates or eligible voters opting to stay home, could affect the outcomes in battleground states such as North Carolina, Colorado, Virginia, Ohio and Florida – all of which have significant populations of college students and young professionals.

Perhaps most vexing for Clinton is that the GenForward survey depicts a young generation less

critical of the current Oval Office occupant than older voters. Obama argues plainly on the campaign trail that “my legacy is on the ballot.” But those sentiments just aren’t so easily transferred to his preferred successor, even as young voters resoundingly reject Trump and, as a whole, declare Clinton more honest and more qualified than the GOP nominee.

A fifth of the young voters surveyed said they will vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson, the Green Party’s Jill Stein or someone else. Duke graduate student Jennifer Lenart, 23, is among them, citing ongoing wrangles, including Clinton’s use of a private email server while she ran the State Department.

The server should not be disqualifying, Lenart says. But she argues that the negative attention, fair or not, would hamper a Clinton presidency.

“I do like her,” Lenart says, but adds, “I’d rather start from a clean slate so we don’t have to deal with this anymore.”

Clinton’s favorability deficit is driven by whites: Nearly two-thirds of them professed a negative view of Clinton, the survey shows. But Obama outpaces Clinton across all racial and ethnic lines. Whites: 49 percent job approval for Obama, 33 favorability for Clinton. Blacks: 78 percent for Obama, 60 for Clinton. Latinos: Obama 70, Clinton 52. Asian-Americans: Obama 73, Clinton 50.

To be sure, Clinton holds commanding advantages over Trump among young African-Americans, Hispanics and Asian-Americans. But the poll leaves doubts about whether she can turn them out to vote. More than half of young whites say they will definitely vote, but less than 4 in 10 nonwhites say the same.

The challenge for Clinton is evident even among young Republicans who say they plan to back Trump.

Thayer Atkins, a Republican who said he will reluctantly vote for his party’s nominee, doesn’t go so far as to offer “approval” for Obama’s job performance. But he makes clear his complaints are only related to policy.

WASHINGTON – Already-testy relations between the United States and Russia plummeted Monday as Washington suspended diplomatic contacts with Moscow over failed efforts to end the war in Syria and President Vladimir Putin put on hold a deal with the U.S. on disposing weapons-grade plutonium.

On the surface, the suspensions were unrelated. But both underscored deep mistrust and rising tensions between the former Cold War foes, who are increasingly at odds on a number of issues, particularly Syria and Ukraine. In the short term, the end of discussions on Syria deals a potential death blow to efforts to slow the civil war and begin negotiations on possible elections in the country that could mean the ouster of President Bashar Assad.

Underscoring the deterioration between the U.S. and Russia, Putin suspended a deal on plutonium disposal hours before the U.S. announcement. The two powers still will continue discussions on the Iran nuclear deal, Ukraine and other non-Syria issues.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said the U.S. has “done all it could to destroy the atmosphere encouraging cooperation.” It cited U.S. sanctions on Moscow over its annexation of the Crimea region of Ukraine and NATO’s deployment of forces near Russian borders.

U.S. officials said that despite the suspension of talks with Russia, they would continue to work for a truce and aid deJosh Earnest liveries to Syria in other gatherings, including the International Syria Support Group, a collection of nations, including Russia.

The Obama administration said it decided to cut off discussions on Syria because Russia had not lived up to the terms of last month’s agreement to restore a tattered cease-fire and ensure sustained deliveries of humanitarian aid to besieged cities, such as Aleppo, which has been under bombardment from Russian and Syrian forces.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said, “What’s clear is that there is nothing more for the United States and Russia to talk about with regard to trying to reach an agreement that would reduce the violence inside of Syria, and that’s tragic.”

“This is not a decision that was taken lightly,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.

Kirby’s statement said that Russia and Syria are pursuing military action in violation of the cease-fire agreement, and pointed to their targeting of hospitals as well as the Sept. 19 airstrike on a United Nations humanitarian aid convoy. The U.S. accused Russia of bombing that convoy, a charge both Russia and Syria have denied.

Fitness center combines mental health counseling with workouts Know more

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Mental health counseling and fitness seemed like a natural fit for Kristy Caponi and Niki Perry when they decided to open FiVE15 Fitness in Coal City.

“We felt there was something missing in mental health in general,” Caponi said. “Our motto is ‘Fitness for your body, therapy for your mind.’

We feel it makes sense to combine counseling with physical fitness.”

She said the company has clients ranging from ages 3 to 75 while it works with families, single people and friends who want to work on both their mind and body.

She said the goal is to lose the stigma of counseling and give it a “coolness” so people can work on not only their weight loss and fitness goals, but also the mental side that might sabotage their goals.

It isn’t an average fitness studio, however. While FiVE15 Fitness does have cardio equipment and weights, it also has skeet ball, punching bags, vinyl albums and a kids’ room.

Caponi said that the workouts include what one would expect in most fitness centers, and also have included paddle boarding, tennis, basketball, a music group and a running

Licensed clinical professional counselor Kristy Caponi and FiVE15 marketing coordinator Dee Mack work out at the fitness center where they cater to both physical fitness and mental health counseling in a combined appointment. group.

She uses whatever inspires the client to reach his or her full potential.

“We have the session be whatever they need it to be,” she said.

Each day, someone draws a slip of paper from a bag of notable quotes that becomes the “Quote for the Day.” People can reflect on the quote, ask

themselves how it pertains to them, how it has affected them and – most importantly, Caponi said – how they have overcome something related to it.

The business is expanding and Caponi expects it to soon take up the majority of the building at 740 E. Division St. in Coal City.

The other side of the gym holds a boxing room and rock-climbing wall to give people not just inspiration, she said, but also to show them that they can do something they never believed they could.

Currently the business has three full-time therapists and one part-time therapist, and are hoping to expand to meet the needs of all of their clients.

“Our goal is to be here when we are needed,” Caponi said. “Niki [Perry] is a morning person and has appointments as early as 5 a.m. I’m a night person and have been here for appointments as late as 10 p.m.”

Caponi said that because the business mixes fitness and mental health, some people are able to have their insurance cover the costs because of mental health. Others attending sometimes take advantage of employers’ fitness incentives and cover their costs that way.

“We recommend three times a week, but if a client can only get in one time, we want them to come that one time,” Caponi said.

Outdoor gear giant Bass Pro to acquire rival Cabela’s for $4.5B

By JOSH FUNK

The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. – Outdoor gear giant Bass Pro is snapping up rival Cabela’s in a $4.5 billion deal announced Monday.

Bass Pro is paying Cabela’s shareholders $65.50 cash per share, a 19 percent premium to Friday’s closing price.

The companies valued the deal at $5.5 billion, which includes debt.

The deal combines two companies known for their giant destination superstores.

It also creates uncertainty about jobs in Cabela’s home state of Nebraska. The combined companies plan to keep some operations in Sidney and Lincoln, Nebraska, but it’s not immediately clear how many jobs might be lost.

Cabela’s employs about 2,000 people in the western Nebraska town of Sidney, which has about 7,000 residents. State Sen. Ken Schilz, who represents the area, said the deal is concerning because of the dupli-

cation between the two companies’ headquarters that will be eliminated.

“We’ll just have to wait and see what Bass Pro does. I’m sure most folks in Sidney are pretty nervous this morning,” Schilz said.

Activist investment firm Elliott Management began pushing for significant changes at Cabela’s last fall.

Elliott owns 7.4 percent of Cabela’s shares and holds options to buy another 3.8 percent.

A sale of the Cabela’s has been a distinct possibility ever since the company announced a review of its strategic options last December, but many in Sidney weren’t ready to believe it could happen.

“We’re just trying to absorb it right now,” said Denise Wilkinson, president of the Cheyenne County Chamber of Commerce. “We just never knew what would happen.”

Bass Pro founder and CEO Johnny Morris said he hopes to continue growing the Cabela’s brand alongside his privately-held Springfield, Missouri, based chain.

“The story of each of these companies could only have happened in America, made possible by our uniquely American free enterprise system,” Morris said. “We have enormous admiration for Cabela’s, its founders and outfitters, and its loyal base of customers.”

Capital One will take over running Cabela’s credit card unit as part of the deal, which is backed by $1.8 billion in financing from Goldman Sachs and an additional $600 million from private equity fund Pamplona Capital.

Cabela’s was founded in 1961 when Dick Cabela started selling fishing flies through the mail from his kitchen table with his wife, Mary, and brother, Jim. It now has 85 retail stores primarily in the western U.S. and Canada.

Bass Pro got its start in 1971 when Morris began selling high-quality fishing tackle in his dad’s liquor store in Springfield, Missouri.

Morris developed a following in the Ozarks region – its lakes and rich streams a haven for anglers –

created the Bass Pro Shop Catalog in 1974 and opened the first of his now 99 stores in Springfield seven years later. Bass Pro’s stores are mostly in the eastern United States and Canada.

Morris also introduced the Bass Tracker fishing boat in 1978 that was designed specifically for fishermen.

That led to the creation of the White River Marine Group.

Nebraska politicians are encouraging Bass Pro to maintain significant operations in the state after the deal closes sometime in the first half of next year.

“I know from personal experience that when you hire Nebraskans, you get individuals who are well-educated, have a great work-ethic, and will make your company succeed,” said Gov. Pete Ricketts, the former TD Ameritrade executive.

U.S. Rep. Adrian Smith said Cabela’s has long been “a cornerstone of western Nebraska’s economy.”

Cabela’s shares climbed $8.19, or 14.9 percent, to $63.12 in afternoon trading Monday.

“This is so awesome,” Augello said.

“I had such a big response from the Lockport community with this journey that I started and I didn’t even realize the support that I had behind me. It’s such a great community and such a supportive family that we have here at Lockport.

“I wasn’t really paying attention because I was so focused on training, but once I looked at social media, I saw how

many people were wishing me luck and all of these people who were reaching out to me and not only wanting to support me, but to be a part of the journey.

“That’s what I think really made the support from Lockport so special. Not only did they support my GoFundMe and buy my shirts and wear them when I wrestled, but they followed me on Snapchat and got to see part of the opening ceremony and the Olympic Village.”

Cubs broadcaster Kasper highlights JCA banquet A few years ago, the Joliet Catholic Academy Alumni Hilltopper Banquet began using a different format. To say it has been a hit is an understatement.

Former major league pitcher Mark Grant, a 1981 Joliet Catholic graduate and currently the color analyst for Padres telecasts in San Diego, returns home each year to serve as master of ceremonies and conduct an on-stage conversation with the featured guest.

Any conversation where Grant is involved is guaranteed to be fun in addition to informative. Those who attended the banquets where sports figures such as Paul Azinger, Eddie Olczyk and Mike Ditka were guests will attest to that.

So what is the hot sports topic in this area in 2016? The Cubs, of course.

The World Series, should it go seven games, and barring any weather delays, will end Nov. 2. Local fans hope – make that believe – the Cubs will represent the National League in the Fall Classic.

The Hilltopper Banquet, meanwhile, is scheduled Thursday night, Nov. 10, in the JCA Student Activity

VIEWS Dick Goss Center. The guest will be Cubs television play-by-play man Len Kasper.

Grant and Kasper talking the Cubs, and baseball in general. Kasper relating some behind-the-scenes Cubs’ tales.

Could the timing have been any better?

Tickets are $50, or $500 for a table of 10. Contact Sue Bebar, the JCA director of alumni relations, at 815-741-0500 ext. 269 or via email at sbebar@jca-online.org with questions or to purchase tickets.

QUICK HITS

JCA graduate Allie Quigley and the Chicago Sky stayed alive in their WNBA semifinal playoff series with a 70-66 victory Sunday over the Los Angeles Sparks. Game 4 of their bestof-five series, with the Sky trailing, 2-1, will tip at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Allstate Arena.

The Sparks’ roster includes Jantel

Lavender, who succeeded Quigley as WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year.

Quigley, in fact, earned that honor the two previous seasons.

• Several years ago, JCA’s offensive backfield included Division I prospects Josh Ferguson, Malin Jones and Ty Isaac. Ferguson, who starred at Illinois, is a rookie running back with the Indianapolis Colts (1-3) and has caught 17 passes, second on the team, for 117 yards besides rushing seven times for 5 yards. Ferguson’s fellow Colts rookie, linebacker Antonio Morrison (Bolingbrook), has made six solo tackles and seven total stops for the season.

Jones is a senior running back at Louisville (4-1), one of the top college football teams in the nation. He did not play in last Saturday’s 42-36 loss to Clemson but previously had 15 carries for 66 yards, a 4.4 average, and two receptions for 18 yards.

Isaac is in the tailback rotation at Michigan (5-0), another of the nation’s best. In Saturday’s 14-7 win over Wisconsin, he rushed for 48 yards in eight carries, a 6.0 average, with a long of 13. For the season, he has run for 199

yards in 41 attempts, a 4.8 average, and two touchdowns. He also has a 21-yard pass reception.

• Another JCA graduate, New Orleans Saints tight end Coby Fleener, caught three passes for 19 yards in Sunday’s 35-34 victory over the San Diego Chargers, the Saints’ first victory. For the season, he has 13 receptions for 163 yards, a 12.5 average, and one touchdown.

• Joliet Central graduate Jeff Monken, the head coach at Army, has his team off to a 3-1 start. His offense is averaging 374 rushing yards and 450 total yards per game.

• Although it had not been announced officially at this writing, it appears right-hander Tanner Roark (Wilmington) is in line to start Game 2 for the Washington Nationals on Saturday in their National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Roark finished the regular season 16-10 with a 2.83 ERA, which ranked sixth in the league.

• Dick Goss can be reached at dgoss@shawmedia.com.

• AUGELLO

Continued from page 33 Augello had nothing but praise for her former coaches and teammates at Lockport, who were always proud to have her on their squad and treated her like anyone else. Coaches Joe Williams and Josh Oster were both at the celebration and made comments congratulating the ex-Porter on her huge accomplishment.

“A lot of times when I get interviewed, people ask me about some of the sexist things that I encountered,” Augello said. “But my coaches and teammates at Lockport really shielded me from anything bad that was said, so I didn’t get that side of it and I know that a lot of girls did. I think that’s why I stand so strongly on getting women comfortable with being strong.

“Brian Rossi was my wrestling partner for two years and he’s at Stanford now, and he’s just one example and there’s many more. I always had tough competition in the room and they never took it easy on me and held me to the same standard as themselves and I think that really helped me as an athlete.

“They’re not only great coaches, but also very great men. They play a really good mentor role in some of these young men’s lives and they’re very strong men and they set a really good example for everyone else. It was easy to follow them and want to be coached by them.”

After making the Olympics team and performing well, Augello believes

RIGHT: Augello waves to the crowd during the game on Friday at Lockport High School. that she can become a good role model for other girls who aspire to do special things in the sport.

“In Illinois you don’t see a lot girls wrestling in the younger divisions,” Augello said. “So I think it’s really important, especially with women’s wrestling growing as rapidly as it is, to bring it to places like Lockport where it has so much support and positivity around it.

“Because of the things that the team

and I have been able to accomplish by making the Olympics and showing that I had a nice, comfortable journey with Lockport, I think that can really open up a lot of doors at this school, around this area and eventually all of Illinois.”

Augello is proud of what she’s accomplished and hopes to get the opportunity to compete in Tokyo’s 2020 Olympics. But she also realizes that it might not happen, so she enjoyed the entire experience of something special

that few athletes attain.

“I didn’t walk away with what I wanted, I didn’t bring home that medal, so I will keep competing and go for another cycle and as long as I stay healthy and love the sport, I’m going to keep doing it,” Augello said. “The experiences were so great that it’s just lit a fire into me for the next one. I’m more hungry than ever to get back on the mat.

“We got to meet a lot of people at the opening ceremony and I got to meet Simone (Biles) at the closing ceremony, so that was really cool. It was just crazy to see all of these different people coming together to represent the country, and that’s what the Olympics are about.

“It almost didn’t feel real and sometimes it feels like it hasn’t sunk in yet.

But I know that I have a lot more room to improve so I don’t know if this was enough for me. I think that I still have more in me and that’s why I don’t feel fulfilled. Once you’re an Olympian, that can never be taken away, so I’ll be an Olympian forever. But I hope to go back and finish what I started.”

• Tuesday, October 4, 2016

Last year, the Southwest Prairie Conference title went down to the wire.

The Minooka and Plainfield Central volleyball programs split their games, but Central narrowly took the crown with a one-game advantage. It marked the second consecutive year that the Wildcats won the conference title.

Quickly after, however, Minooka took the regional title from Central.

The rivalry is still hot, but this year is a slightly different story.

Both teams have the potential to go into Thursday’s match as the only two undefeated teams in the SPC. And this season, there’s only one shot at winning the rivalry conference game.

“Minooka is a very solid team with very few weaknesses,” Central coach Erik Vogt said. “Our schools will only play each other once this year. Both teams could be coming into this match undefeated in the Southwest Prairie Conference. We all know what is at stake this week and we look forward to the challenge at hand.”

Since Joliet West and Joliet Central entered the Southwest Prairie, every team will play two of their conference opponents only one time instead of two. For the next two seasons, Minooka and Plainfield Central will only play once in conference.

That means that only once will the huge rivals be able to face off.

Both teams have tremendous respect for each other and know that it’ll be a competitive game on Thursday when Central hosts Minooka in its Dig Pink game. The two teams also know what to expect from each other.

The Wildcats will look to defend the hard-swinging offense that at times is unstoppable. The Indians on the other hand will focus on shutting down arguably the best player in the state in setter Ashley Shook.

“Plainfield Central has always been the toughest game for Minooka in conference,” Minooka coach Carrie Prosek said. “Mentally, physically and emotionally both sides are very competitive, and it has been this way the past few years.

“They have the best setter in the state who controls the game so much that we have to stay focused on our game and not let emotions interfere with that. I know that it will be a very fun, competitive game to be at.”

36 WHITE SOX

White Sox promote Renteria to replace Ventura as manager

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Rick Renteria is getting a second chance to manage in Chicago, this time on the South Side.

The White Sox promoted Renteria from bench coach to replace Robin Ventura on Monday, hoping he can help Rick Renteria turn around a struggling franchise.

Renteria takes over a team with one playoff appearance since the 2005 championship year. And he gets another opportunity after the Cubs unceremoniously let him go after the 2014 season so they could hire Joe Maddon.

“I’m extremely excited,” Renteria said. “It’s a little bittersweet because I became good friends with Robin.”

The Sox noted that Renteria is the only Latino manager in the majors and touted his ability to communicate in English and Spanish.

General manager Rick Hahn said the organization might have found candidates as good – but none better – had they looked elsewhere. He also insisted Renteria would be the right man to lead the team whether it is undergoing a major overhaul or trying to contend.

To that end, Hahn said the Sox know

which way they want to go; he just wasn’t about to reveal it.

“Regardless of the direction, we think he’s capable of winning a World Series with the right personnel behind him,” he said. “Even if we do go to the extreme of tearing this thing down, so to speak, our goal is to get ourselves back to the World Series, and our hope is to do it with this manager.”

Hahn said Ventura first told him just over a month ago that he thought it was time for the organization to make a change in the dugout. Hahn said there were “personal reasons behind it” and added that Ventura “spoke highly” of Renteria.

Hahn said he did not try to persuade Ventura – who had an expiring contract – to return next season. And when asked if he could have returned if he wanted, Hahn said, “That’s a hypothetical that we never got to.”

Ventura announced Sunday after the final game against Minnesota that he would not return, insisting the decision was his and he wasn’t pushed out despite five seasons without a playoff appearance.

The Sox went 375-435 but finished with losing records the past four years after an 85-77 debut in 2012. They finished fourth in the AL Central at 78-84 despite a 23-10 start that gave them a six-game lead in the AL Central on May

9. They went 55-74 the rest of the way thanks to injuries, a slumping offense and struggling bullpen.

There also were some strange incidents this year, starting with Adam LaRoche’s abrupt retirement in spring training after executive vice president Ken Williams banned his son from the clubhouse. Ace Chris Sale ripped Williams at the time, and Sale was suspended for five days in July for cutting up collared throwback jerseys he didn’t want to wear for a start. He later criticized Ventura for not sticking up for him in his dispute with the marketing staff.

The 54-year-old Renteria led the Cubs to a 73-89 record in his lone year and drew praise for his work with their young players. But his tenure ended with an awkward dismissal, with management reversing course once Maddon became available and letting him go after announcing he would return for a second season. Renteria and Hallof-Famer Johnny Evers are the only managers in history to manage games for both the Sox and the Cubs (Evers managed the Sox in 1924 and the Cubs in 1913 and 1921).

When the Sox hired Renteria last November, he was seen as a potential candidate to take over as manager. The change on the bench is the first move in what figures to be a busy offseason. The

question is how far the White Sox go in rebuilding.

“The goal is to put us in position to win multiple championships as quickly as possible,” Hahn said. “The exact path we’re going to follow over the next few months is not one that we’re going to reveal today.”

Hahn acknowledged the potential for a strong seller’s trade market with a thin free agent pool.

Sale and fellow All-Star Jose Quintana would figure to bring back a high return if they are dealt, particularly since their contracts don’t expire anytime soon. Slugger Jose Abreu, Todd Frazier, Melky Cabrera, David Robertson and Adam Eaton might be attractive to other teams.

A full overhaul would be a departure for an organization that has tried to contend in recent seasons by bringing in high-profile players such as Adam Dunn, Jeff Samardzija, Robertson, Cabrera, Eaton, Frazier and LaRoche, only to come up short. The team’s struggles have coincided with a resurgence brought on by a major overhaul on the North Side, where the Cubs drew over 3 million fans – compared to 1.75 million on the South Side.

“When I look at not just the players in uniform but the entire organization, we could do better,” Hahn said. “And that’s why we underachieved.”

CUBS

Maddon’s fingerprints all over the suddenly dominant Cubs

By JIM LITKE

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The steady breeze from four, large portable fans whooshed through the Cubs’ luxurious new digs, sucking away whatever moisture lingered from the just-shampooed carpets.

“They missed a spot,” said a laughing reliever Mike Montgomery, sitting at his locker. The left-hander lifted the sole of his shoe to show it was wet. “You can still smell the champagne here.”

On the morning after the Cubs clinched a playoff spot, few members of the team with the best record in baseball had wandered back into the clubhouse ahead of an afternoon start still three hours away. Manager Joe Maddon, though, already was in his office and focused on what mattered next: breaking a century-and-counting World Series hex.

“I see now what everyone was talking about,” said Montgomery, who arrived from Seattle in July as part of a four-player trade. “Joe knows so much about baseball – situational play, what

the data call for, what makes guys tick – but he makes it look easy. So you don’t always see how he works.”

Indeed, Maddon’s fingerprints are all over this team. With the playoff opener looming Friday at Wrigley Field, plenty of the credit for assembling this sudden juggernaut goes to Theo Epstein, the Cubs’ president of baseball operations.

He helped assemble the lineup and has added complementary parts such as Montgomery, closer Aroldis Chapman and outfielder Jason Heyward in a timely fashion.

But it’s Maddon’s job to fit those pieces together. More impressive still is how he’s made nearly every one of them better.

Take the steady improvement that has second-year star Kris Bryant battling teammate Anthony Rizzo for Most Valuable Player. Or starter Kyle Hendricks’ breakout campaign and Cy Young candidacy.

In Bryant’s case, it involved teaching the much-touted third baseman to cope with expectations. Maddon accomplished that by encouraging Bryant to

take a few shifts in the outfield and even at first base, giving the youngster another skill to learn instead of obsessing over every at-bat. In Hendricks’ case, it might have involved a deep data dive alongside pitching coach Chris Bosio, seeing whether the right-hander’s pitch sequence, location or delivery needed tweaking.

But it might have been something as simple as this. A few weeks ago in Pittsburgh, Hendricks saw Maddon heading in his direction in the dugout.

Hendricks expected Maddon to question his decision to stop at second base after Chris Coghlan singled behind him.

Instead, Maddon asked him about the mascot at Dartmouth, where Hendricks went to college.

“When you’re known as the Big Green, is that like Gumby?” Maddon asked. “Is he your guy? What does the mascot look like?”

Hendricks smiled at the memory.

Nearly every other player on the roster has a similar story to tell.

“I got maybe 10 career at-bats. I couldn’t remember the last time I batted

in a game,” Montgomery recalled. “But I got a hit the other night and it was one of the happiest moments of my career. ...

“So Joe comes up to me the next day and starts discussing hitting with me and we have this long conversation about it, like I actually know what I’m doing. He probably knows that’s not the case. But now,” Montgomery said chuckling, “I’m already thinking, ‘Maybe I’ll get another one.’”

In an interview room just off the new clubhouse, Maddon parked behind a bank of microphones. Instead of the big picture, reporters wanted to know where he went after the party in the clubhouse broke up. In addition to being one of the best managers in baseball, Maddon is one of the most entertaining.

“I did not go out last night,” he said.

“Why not?” came the follow-up question.

“I had nothing,” Maddon said smiling, sliding his elbow along the table and pretending he was about to nap.

Don’t believe it.

This is one guy who always has something up his sleeve.

Tillman to face Stroman in AL wild-card

By IAN HARRISON

The Associated Press TORONTO – Whenever his Toronto Blue Jays face the Baltimore Orioles, manager John Gibbons has a pretty good idea what kind of game it’s going to be.

“They’re normally slugfests,” Gibbons said Monday as the Blue Jays prepared to host Baltimore in the American League wild-card game.

The Orioles led the major leagues with 253 home runs this season, hitting 28 in their 19 games against Toronto. The Blue Jays were fourth in baseball with 221 homers and had 29 against Baltimore.

“We’re really very similar teams if you break it down,” Gibbons said. “We know everything about them, they know everything about us. When you’re playing a team from your division, there’s really no secrets.”

Still, with a berth in the best-of-five Division Series against Texas on the line, long balls might be a little harder to come by in Tuesday night’s winner-takeall affair between these AL East foes.

The challenge of controlling two powerful lineups will fall on the starting pitchers. Marcus Stroman (9-10, 4.37 ERA) gets the nod for Toronto, with fellow right-hander Chris Tillman (16-6, 3.77) going for the Orioles.

“I think Stro is the perfect guy,” Gibbons said. “Big game, we’ve seen him do it before. He did that a couple of times for us last year. You know he’s going to come out throwing strikes. We’re glad he’s available.”

Baltimore manager Buck Showal-

ter said choosing Tillman was a “good, tough” decision.

“We had probably three options, and Chris is one of those good options,” Showalter said.

The Orioles went 4-0 in Tillman’s four starts against the Blue Jays this season.

Last year, he was 0-4 in six starts against Toronto, posting an ugly 11.32 ERA. “I don’t think I’ve gone out of my way to do anything different with these guys,” Tillman said. “It’s just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Last year didn’t go so well, this year has been a little better.”

Tillman took a no-decision against the Blue Jays in his final start of the regular season, allowing two runs, one earned, and six hits in 52/3 innings last Wednesday. In 13 career starts at Rogers Centre, he is 2-6 with a 7.01 ERA. If the Orioles have a late lead, they’ll like their chances of locking it down; closer Zach Britton was perfect in 47 save opportunities this season.

Given the stakes, Showalter said he’d consider using Britton for an extended outing.

“You don’t worry about tomorrow or the next day,” the manager explained.

“Everything is about that nine innings.

There are some times during the course of the game that it may happen earlier than usual that you may attack it differently.”

Stroman lost to Baltimore in his final regular-season outing, yielding four runs and nine hits in seven innings last Thursday. He is 1-2 with a 7.04 ERA in four starts against Baltimore this season.

Bears starting QB situation still up in the air when Cutler returns Coach Fox would not confirm if Cutler will get job back from Hoyer

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com John Fox is not doing anything to put to rest the idea of a Bears quarterback controversy.

During his Monday news conference, the Bears’ coach was asked about what will guide his decision at the most important position on the field when Jay Cutler returns from a thumb sprain.

“Well, I think we’ll evaluate it just like we do every position on the football team,” Fox said. “I think Jay has played a lot of good football. In fact, in the cutups watching Detroit in last year’s two games, I thought he played pretty well. We’ll evaluate it like everything. Right now I don’t like getting into speculation and predictions because we’ll know more on Wednesday.”

Brian Hoyer was efficient in Sunday’s win over the Lions, completing 28-of-36 passes for 302 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, good for a passer rating of 120.1. Hoyer has thrown 97 passes in three games (two starts) without an interception “I think it’s performance-based,” Fox said. “So anybody that’s performing well, I don’t think we’re going to be likely to change.”

Fox said that Cutler is week-toweek and there is no timeline on his return. Before spraining his thumb, Cutler had completed 60.9 percent of his passes, thrown one touchdown and two picks. His passer rating is 75.7.

Hoyer did perform well against a bad Lions defense, and the Bears face the Colts in Indianapolis on Sunday, a pass “D” that is allowing quarterbacks a rating of 100.4 in four games. Last season, while with the Texans, Hoyer completed 77.4 percent of his passes for 312 yards in a 27-20 loss to the Colts.

He had a passer rating of 116.6 in that game.

This is the final year of guaranteed money in the contract Cutler signed after the 2013 season.

Lara MacGregor, a participant in a new crowdsourcing project for metastatic breast cancer research, poses for a photo as she undergoes treatment at the Norton Cancer Center in Louisville, Ky., on Sept. 21. In just the first year, more than 2,600 affected patients have enrolled in the project, submitting samples and medical records by mail. “I hope that real data about real people is going lead to better treatment options,” she said. “My life depends on it.” medical research.

“I enrolled from my recliner in my living room. I did my spit tube in bed,” Caldwell said.

The mother of two turns 40 on Thursday, and cancer has reached her brain, lungs, bones and liver. She tries to stay positive, but October “is a month where I just want to hide under the covers and check out,” Caldwell said. “I just don’t want to be confronted with all this pink garbage.”

Lara MacGregor, who runs a Louisville, Kentucky-based nonprofit group for cancer patients, said she feels the same way.

“Everything about breast cancer is about survivors and beating cancer,” MacGregor said. “And we’re sitting in

the wings saying, “I’m never going to celebrate the end of treatment.’”

MacGregor was pregnant when diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in 2007. She had both breasts removed plus chemotherapy, and went on with her life thinking she was cured until two years ago, when tests for nagging back pain revealed cancer had returned and spread to her bones.

Now 39, MacGregor read about the project online, decided immediately to take part, and emailed dozens of friends and connections who also signed on.

Before she mailed her saliva kit, “my 8-year-old drew a picture on the box and said, ‘thanks for helping my mom,’” MacGregor said. “I hope that real data about real people is going lead to better

treatment options,” she said. “My life depends on it.”

More than 200,000 people, mostly women, are diagnosed with breast cancer nationwide each year. Most are diagnosed when cancer is at an early, potentially curable, stage. For about 6 percent, or 15,000 patients, the disease has already spread at diagnosis.

And for about 30 percent of patients diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, the disease will eventually recur in distant parts of the body. The average survival for patients with metastatic disease is about three years.

According to a 2014 analysis from an alliance of breast cancer advocacy groups, less than 10 percent of government and nonprofit groups’ investment in breast cancer research in recent years went to studying metastatic disease.

“Metastatic breast cancer in general is an understudied area,” said Marc Hurlbert of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. “We don’t know, for example, how the tumor has changed. Is it the same makeup as it was before? Do cells have a different molecular profile than cancer that started first in the breast?”

By gathering large numbers of tissue samples and information about how the diseases progresses in different people, the project may be able to uncover useful trends. It has produced a few enticing clues already, including small groups of patients who’ve responded unusually well to standard chemotherapy or to new immunotherapy drugs – some have survived for 10 years or more. The researchers hope DNA analyses will help explain why and lead to treatments that will improve the odds for all patients with the disease.

Data will be posted on a special online site and with the National Cancer Institute’s genomic data program – making it available to other scientists and boosting the odds of finding better ways to treat patients with metastatic disease. And proof that crowdsourcing can draw thousands of patients to medical research is an important discovery itself, given how hard that can be, said Dr. Nikhil Wagle, a project leader and an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard and Dana-Farber.

“This project makes them feel empowered, makes them feel like they are making a difference – if not to help themselves, then maybe the next generation of patients,” Wagle said.

CHICAGO – Forget the pink ribbons.

Spitting into a tube for science is what unites a growing group of breast cancer patients taking part in a unique project to advance treatment for the deadliest form of the disease.

For many of the 150,000-plus patients nationwide whose tumors have spread to bones, brains, lungs or other distant organs, the hue heralding breast cancer awareness and survival each October is a little too rosy. They know cancer will likely kill them. And they’ve often felt neglected by mainstream advocacy and medical research.

But now they have a way to get involved, with a big new project that aims to gather enormous troves of information about their diseases in hopes of finding new and better ways of treating patients like them – women whose cancer has spread, or metastasized, and left them nearly out of options.

“Patients want to live and we know that research is the way that we’re going to be able to live,” said Beth Caldwell, a former civil-rights attorney in Seattle diagnosed with metastatic disease in 2014.

The idea is to gather molecular and genetic clues from as broad a group of metastatic breast cancer patients as possible. With data from thousands of people, researchers think they will be better able target treatments or come up with new ones by answering important questions about the disease. For example: Is there something unique about tumors that spread to the brain, or that recur many years after diagnosis? What allows a very few women to outlive others by many years despite the same prognosis?

Most breast cancer patients are treated at centers that don’t do research on tumors, so participating in studies at academic medical centers far from home is cumbersome at best. Patients sick or dying from their disease face additional hurdles.

This project is different. Patients sign up online, mail in saliva kits for genetic testing, and allow use of their tumor tissue samples and medical records. Researchers use social media to keep them posted about progress, and periodically invite participants to visit the Cambridge, Massachusetts, lab where their specimens are being analyzed.

Using word of mouth and social media, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Project, run by scientists at Harvard and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Broad Institute, has enrolled more than 2,600 patients so far since launching last October. It’s a pace nearly unheard of in

to sophomore students on Sept. 19 at Lockport Township High School East Campus.

Along with driving while impaired, the program also educates students about the dangers of driving distractions, driving while drowsy, seat-belt use and driving safety in general.

The program began with graphic videos of car crashes shown on monitors. The videos engaged the students’ attention and helped set the tone for what they were about to experience.

After a personal plea by a grandmother who recently lost her 16-yearold grandson in a distracting driving accident, a video was shown detailing the effects of dangerous driving and the consequences of destructive decision making.

Sophomore students were then invited to interact with simulators during their PE class.

After participating, students were then asked to sign a pledge to never drive while impaired or distracted.

The Save A Life Tour at LTHS was organized by P.E. Department Chairman Todd El.

JOLIET – Joliet resident Thomas Seybold was doing repair work on his home when he started experiencing terrible pain. He thought nothing of it at the time, until he had migraines and numbness in his left arm in Dr. Chintan the weeks following.

Sampat An MRI revealed massive herniation in the cervical spine. This led Seybold to Dr. Chintan Sampat, an orthopedic surgeon at Parkview Orthopaedic Group in New Lenox.

Seybold decided to undergo an innovative medical procedure – cervical disk replacement surgery using Mobi-C from LDR Spine. Cervical disc replacement is a relatively unknown alternative to the commonly practiced spinal fusion surgery. Among its many benefits, cervical disc replacement is a less invasive surgery and restores full mobility to the patient’s neck.

Just a few weeks after the procedure, Seybold was back to work, riding his motorcycle and finishing the repairs on his home.

Home exercises work well for hip rehab

Of course, this might not work for everyone. Many people who have hip replacement surgery cannot return home right away. That’s especially true if they live alone and have to climb a number of stairs right away. For them, surgery may best be followed by a stay at a rehabilitation facility. There, they can receive supervised physical therapy on a daily basis.

They would be sent home once they were strong and steady enough to get around safely.

This new research should be considered preliminary. First, it included only a small number of study subjects. Also, the results have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. More research likely will be needed to confirm the findings. Other studies can help identify who is likely to do well with self-directed rehab.

If the findings of this new study are confirmed, it will be welcome news. Thousands of people having hip replacement surgery no longer will have to trudge back and forth to physical therapy appointments.

Based on my own experience undergoing a hip replacement, I’ll bet this study is basically correct: All those visits to a physical therapist might not be necessary.

On the other hand, not everyone is alike.

Some people will need more therapy visits than others, to master the exercises they need to do at home.

Dear Dr. K: I’m having hip replacement surgery next month. I know I’ll need rehabilitation afterward, but does it matter where I do it?

Dear Reader: It’s been routine after hip replacement surgery to have extensive physical therapy. This rehabilitation therapy, or “rehab,” usually consists of a series of outpatient appointments with a physical therapist, as well as exercises to do at home. The goal of rehab is to improve the strength, stamina and balance of walking.

The visits to the physical therapist usually take place two or three times a week for a month or more. But a new study calls into question the need for all the visits to physical therapists.

The researchers presented their findings at a recent meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. They studied 77 people having hip replacement surgery. Of these, half were randomly assigned to the conventional rehab program, in which they met with a physical therapist two or three times a week for two months.

The rest were taught specific exercises to perform on their own at home for two months.

Here’s what they found: • One month after surgery, there were no major differences in the individuals’ ability to function. “Function” was based on their ability to sit, walk and use stairs, or other measures of daily activities.

• Six months after the surgery, there still was no difference in results.

Changing rehab from supervised appointments to exercising at home could significantly reduce the cost of care. And the convenience of not having to be driven to all those physical therapy visits is an extra bonus. (For the first month or two after hip replacement surgery, you can’t drive yourself.)

hope your sister’s production line produces all boys. (Just kidding.) Your baby items belong to you, not your mother and not your sister. No one is “entitled” to them. If you prefer to give them to your brother’s wife, that’s your privilege. Your reasons seem valid to me.

Dear Abby: I’m 17, and have been in a relationship with “Zane” for three years. We get along beautifully, but of course we have our issues to work through. What upsets me is adults who think our relationship isn’t real because I’m under 18. No, Zane and I don’t have bills to pay or children to raise, but we talk to each other.

That’s what I have always thought is the most important thing between two people.

We have fun together, go to church and have meaningful discussions about almost everything. The only thing my divorced parents agree on is they both love Zane. We know our relationship isn’t perfect, but we’re committed to working on it, becoming closer and understanding each other.

But I keep getting comments from teachers, my friends’ parents, strangers and even Zane’s grandma about how we should be prepared for our romance not to last because we’re so young.

How can I prove to these “non-believers” teens feel love and can have stable relationships, too?

– Seriously In Love In Maine Dear Seriously In Love: The way to prove to “non-believers” they are wrong simply is to continue successfully in your relationship. You appear to be mature, grounded and treat each other well. I don’t know what your plans are for after high school, but if you keep the lines of communication open, I see no reason why this couldn’t lead to marriage one day – and a good one, based on mutual respect and compromise.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have a brother and a sister. I’m Jeanne the oldest. My Phillips husband and I have a 3-year-old child and no plans for more children.

We have been blessed to be able to afford nice things for our daughter, and I have saved them in the hope of giving them to my brother and his fiancée, who are being married this year. My brother and I are very close, and I love his fiancée. They are not financially well off, so I know it would mean a lot to them.

Now something unexpected has happened.

My sister – the youngest – just announced she’s engaged and is being married in three months.

She plans on having children ASAP, whereas my brother and his fiancée want to wait a year or two after the wedding.

My mom and my sister say whoever has a baby girl first is entitled to all my stuff, but I don’t want to give all my “treasures” to my sister. We have never gotten along, and she wouldn’t appreciate them like my brother would. Am I wrong for feeling the way I do? –

Warren Bennis, a social scientist who died in 2014, said, “There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish.”

At the bridge table, declarer may have only one way to be creative -- either his line works or it does not.

Much better, though, is when he has two chances to make his contract and can try both. In today’s deal, South receives a trump lead against his seven-spade contract. What should he do?

North used a transfer, showed his second suit, learned that partner had three- or four-card spade support, used two doses of Blackwood, and plunged into the grand slam. (For users of Roman Key Card Blackwood, note that South would have bid six clubs over five no-trump to show the club king. Then North, wanting his partner also to have the heart king, would have bid six hearts to ask his partner to bid seven with that king.

The asker asks and the teller tells.)

South starts with 12 top tricks: five spades, two hearts, two diamonds and three clubs. He seems to need either the heart finesse to work (50-50) or a 3-2 diamond break (67.8 percent).

Today, let’s look at the more likely of the two; tomorrow, the diamonds will not behave.

Declarer draws trumps and cashes dummy’s top diamonds. When they split favorably, he takes his club winners, discarding dummy’s remaining diamonds, ruffs a diamond on the board to establish his last diamond, and claims.

A team of specialists representing general surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, plastic/ reconstructive surgery and pathology gathers in one room to look at images and discuss the patient’s test results and other health information. The group provides the patient’s doctor with a consensus recommendation within 24 hours so that the patient can make an informed decision and begin treatment immediately.

For patients needing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, medical and radiation oncologists with The University of Chicago Medicine have access to more than 300 clinical trials. Many of these investigational therapies are available on the New Lenox campus. Several breast cancer patients have benefitted from prone breast radiation therapy at the Cancer Center.

DIAGNOSIS TO TREATMENT How nurse navigators, access to resources are easing the transition PRESENCE HEALTH

Facing a cancer diagnosis can be a scary and often overwhelming experience – for both patients and their loved ones. From coming to terms with the disease to scheduling the numerous appointments, there’s no manual for what to expect when you get the awful surprise of a cancer diagnosis.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women, with one in eight women in the U.S. receiving the news that she has breast cancer in her lifetime. While great strides are being made to open conversation and create awareness about this highly prevalent disease, there is much more necessary discussion needed after the diagnosis settles in.

At Presence Health, this means compassionate treatment by caring for the diagnosed individual’s mind, body and spirit.

Jane Schwark, a nurse navigator at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, has been caring for patients for more than 20 years. While she does not provide any form of physical treatment, she offers a special service of being a guide to patients and their family members as they journey

Know more To learn more about Presence Health and the treatment options available, visit www. presencehealth.org. through the treatment process.

As a nurse navigator, she attends their consultations, takes notes while they listen to their doctor’s recommendations or treatment approaches, and helps find solutions for patients as they go through what is often the most frightening time of their lives.

“Sometimes, I think the unknown is the worst part for patients, but when they can talk to someone who has seen dozens of patients go through surgeries and various treatment plans, it helps empower them,” said Schwark.

“One of the most rewarding parts is helping reduce patients’ anxieties and fears with that knowledge.”

In addition to being an “extra set of eyes and ears” in a consultation, the nurse navigator will help schedule all appointments and seek treatment for conditions beyond the cancer.

“It’s our job to be there for patients and listen to them – even beyond their

cancer care needs,” said Schwark.

“Sometimes these seemingly small conversations uncover larger health issues that patients may not have mentioned otherwise but have a big impact on their quality of life.”

The nurse navigator is not exclusive to Presence Health, but its role is vital to Presence Health’s larger goal of providing compassionate care where these are not just words.

Dr. Nafisa Burhani, a medical oncologist at Presence Mercy Medical Center in Aurora and Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, has been working in the breast cancer center for nearly 19 years. Throughout her tenure she has witnessed Presence Health evolve into a health organization that prioritizes and celebrates compassionate care.

One of the ways she says Presence Health provides this level of care is with a unique program allowing newly diagnosed patients to meet with three specialists at once: a breast cancer surgeon, radiation oncologist and a medical oncologist like herself.

Rather than waiting to see a physician or spending your time researching what’s next, Presence Health patients are assigned a nurse navigator

and a consultation is arranged with the three breast specialists to start the process.

“At Presence, it’s important that we show you that you’re never alone in your diagnosis,” said Burhani.

“There are so many treatment options out there and that means we can work together to create a treatment plan that’s the best fit for your individual needs.”

There are many preconceived notions about cancer treatment that doctors and nurses are working to debunk, including the notion that all cancer treatment involves chemotherapy.

“New technologies are making it easier to find cancer earlier, and that means we have more options about what types of care we’re providing,” said Burhani.

Presence Health recently received full accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, a voluntary three-year accreditation awarded only to those centers that have committed to providing the highest level of quality breast care. To be recognized, a center must undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance.

Traditional mammography produces just two images of each breast, a side-to-side view and a top-to-bottom view. 3D mammography produces many X-ray images of the breasts from multiple angles to create a digital 3-dimensional rendering of internal breast tissue. This allows radiologists to view the breast in 1-millimeter ‘slices’ rather than just the full thickness from the top and from the side.

Hip Hop for Hope on Oct. 21 is a special ladies night out event that will feature a 75-minute exercise class with hip-hop moves that make exercise fun, along with black lights, disco balls and pink ribbon décor.

Morris Hospital hosts Hip-Hop for Hope during Breast Cancer Awareness Month MORRIS HOSPITAL & HEALTHCARE CENTERS MORRIS – Breast cancer early detection is a topic that is near and dear to Terri Jacob.

As Morris Hospital’s Breast Health Navigator, Jacob, a registered nurse, says every day she has the opportunity to see the importance of breast cancer early detection.

That’s why Jacob has teamed up with co-workers Donica Pitkins and Stacey Hutchcraft to offer Hip-Hop for Hope, a breast cancer awareness event being planned for 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 21 at White Oak Elementary School in Morris.

Oct. 21 also is National Mammography Day. This special ladies night out event will feature a 75-minute exercise class with hip-hop moves that make exercise fun, along with black lights, disco balls and pink ribbon décor.

The evening also includes door prizes and breast cancer education.

Pitkins says the trio wanted to do something to show their support for breast cancer awareness outside of their day-to-day work environment.

“As a mammographer, I’ve seen too many cases of breast cancer,” Pitkins said. “We really do want to find cancer at its earliest stages so that we can win the fight against this disease. Through Hip-Hop for Hope, we are going to fight for women’s health in a fun and exciting way while spreading hope into the community.”

“There are women in my classes who are survivors and others who have family members who have experienced breast cancer. This event is a fun way for women to get their workout in with their friends while taking care of themselves and increasing their breast cancer awareness,” Hutchcraft said, adding that women will burn around 800 calories by participating in Hip-Hop for Hope.

Jacob said she also is looking forward to promoting breast cancer awareness in a fun setting.

“We all hear that it’s important to know our risk factors,” said Jacob, adding that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. “Exercise, a healthy diet, healthy weight and alcohol intake are all risk factors we can control, and that’s what this program is all about.”

“We are excited to be bringing Hip for Hope to the community and to be community ambassadors for breast cancer outside of our roles at Morris Hospital,” Jacob added. “This is a fun way to support the fighters, admire the survivors, and honor the taken.”

These simple guidelines from the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists can help detect breast cancer early:

· Know how your breasts normally look and feel.

Any changes should be reported to your healthcare provider.

· Have a clinical breast exam at least every 3 years between ages 29-39.

Beginning at age 40, women should have a breast exam by a healthcare provider every year.

· For women at average risk without symptoms of breast cancer, have an annual screening mammogram beginning at age 40.

DRAWING ON HOPE

Silver Cross breast cancer patient draws her way through treatment SILVER CROSS HOSPITAL NEW LENOX – A nurse for almost 40 years, Therese Galvan understands the critical importance of finding the right place to get care and treatment.

So when a lump she discovered in her left breast was found to be malignant, she turned to the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox.

For the 60-year-old Mokena resident and mother of four, being able to have surgery, radiation, physical therapy and follow-up visits and consultations close to home made her cancer treatment and recovery less stressful. But Galvan said it was the expert medical care she received that made the real difference.

The University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center at Silver Cross features a team of specialists that can offer state-of-theart treatment options, including advanced clinical trials, in a convenient community hospital setting. For the most challenging cases, the Center offers easy access to therapies.

“Having doctors from the University of Chicago Medicine on my case was a big plus to me,” said Galvan.

Her treatment team included Reza Gamagami, MD, a surgeon at Silver Cross, along with medical oncologist Sunil Narula, MD, and Anne McCall, MD, Medical Director of Radiation Oncology at the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center at Silver Cross.

Therese was familiar with some physicians in the cancer program before starting treatment.

“Dr. Narula has a good reputation for treating his patients with care and compassion,” she said. “A friend of mine is a patient of his as well, so when I needed care, he was my first choice.”

The multidisciplinary team comes together at the Tuesday morning Breast Conference to discuss treatment strategies for patients.

“By getting all the specialists into the room, including oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists, we can put together a plan that considers all aspects of the patient’s needs,” McCall said.

Therese’s treatment plan included two lumpectomy surgeries to remove as much of the tumor as possible, followed by radiation therapy.

In order to avoid exposing Galvan’s heart and lungs to radiation, advanced technologies and procedure were used. Deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) is a technique in which the patient takes a deep breath and holds it briefly to move the heart and lungs out of the radiation field during the treatment.

The procedure also includes the use of VisionRT surface imaging, which tracks the patient to an exact degree so that radiation is applied only when the patient is in the best possible position.

Why creating a culture of cancer awareness matters PRESENCE HEALTH Many Americans know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – this is thanks to years of nationwide advocacy campaigns and educational programs. In addition, more people are learning that September is annual Prostate Cancer awareness month.

While these two awareness months have achieved enormous success through initiatives like pink ribbon campaigns, the core idea behind cancer awareness months is encouraging person-to-person communications among patients, family members, physicians and other health care professionals to increase awareness about treatment options, family cancer history and the importance of early detection.

Yet all too often, this important core goal gets lost in the excitement and energy of well-intentioned and important activities like charity runs and purchasing color-coded cancer awareness merchandise. Moreover,

Presence Health has more than 150 locations in Illinois, including 11 hospitals, 27 longterm care and senior living facilities these two months are often seen as mutually exclusive, with women primarily only talking to women about breast cancer, and men barely talking about prostate cancer at all.

That’s why Presence Health is focused on a different approach this year – and calling it the “Season of Awareness” – as part of a public service effort that underscores Presence

Health’s ongoing mission stressing highly personal, compassionate care.

In Will County alone, an average of 448 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control’s State Cancer Profiles initiative. Further, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, and 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed

with breast cancer in their lifetime.

What’s more, an average of 407 men in Will County each year are diagnosed with prostate cancer, the most common non-skin cancer in America.

Between primary care physicians, patients, oncologists and family members, fighting cancer is a team effort and a strong support network is paramount regardless of the specific cancer. Presence Health is helping to facilitate these important conversations among patients, physicians and family members – not just in September and October, but year-round.

It’s important to remember that while cancer is a serious health condition, a cancer diagnosis isn’t an automatic “death sentence.”

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

THIS IS PRESENCE.

Because it limits the effects of cardiac toxicity, it’s a great approach for treatment of breast cancer in younger women.”

For Galvan, preparing for radiation treatment required a unique approach.

“I had to practice holding my breath for 15 seconds at a time,” she said. “That’s actually a long time to hold your breath. I’d visualize swim-

ming underwater or count to take my mind off of it.”

Best of all, she could continue working part time while undergoing treatment. Because her energy levels remained relatively good, she often worked on the same days she received treatment.

lot has changed in genetic testing for breast cancer since the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations were discovered 20 years ago. In addition to advanced technology and tools to better find hereditary cancers, what cost thousands of dollars even a few years ago now costs much less, making genetic testing available to more people.

In the past two decades, “cancer genetic testing has changed in two main ways,” said Meagan Farmer, director of cancer genetic counseling at University of Alabama at Birmingham. “First, we know of many more genes associated with cancer predisposition than we did 20 years ago. Second, we can now analyze many of these genes at one time, relatively quickly and at increasingly

affordable costs.

Next-generation sequencing is the testing technology that allows us to do this.”

About 10 to 15 percent of most cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations. When these genes are present they greatly increase your risk of developing cancer, said Othman Laraki, president and co-founder of Color Genomics, which offers $249 at-home cancer gene tests that detect breast, ovarian and other common hereditary cancers. Provide a saliva sample, activate your account online, mail the kit in, and Color Genomics analyzes your genetic makeup, which is reviewed by a medical professional.

A session with a board-certified genetic counselor is included.

“Next-generation sequencing refers to a technology that can sequence several genes at a very fast pace,” said Dr. Mary B. Daly, chairwoman of the department of clinical genetics at Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia. “The biggest change, however, is the creation of panels that can look for variants in multiple genes all at the same time rather than single-gene testing. As a result, we are discovering many more genes associated with different types of cancer.”

Before next-generation sequencing, patients who were suspected of having a hereditary reason for breast or ovarian cancer may have been offered analysis of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, still believed to be associated with more than half of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer cases, Farmer said.

Now, patients suspected to have a hereditary cause for their personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer can be offered an analysis of 20 genes, and the same applies to genetic testing for predisposition to many other cancer types, Farmer said.

As test kits become cheaper and more available, experts caution that not all women need to be tested.

“Candidates for next-generation sequencing are individuals with family histories suspicious for cancer syndromes, individuals whose family history suggests the possibility of more than one cancer syndrome and individuals with cancer at an age earlier than expected,” Daly said.

“Red flags include early-onset cancer such as breast or colon cancer before age 50, rare types of cancer such as ovarian cancer, or multiple cases of the same or related cancers on one side of the family in multiple generations,” Farmer said.

“People should know that it is important to meet with a genetic counselor or other genetic specialist before undergoing testing to help sort through all of the possible gene panels available to choose the one that best matches their personal and family history,” Daly said.

“We are most likely to find a hereditary cause for cancer in a family if testing is performed in someone that has had cancer.

Testing of several genes through next-generation sequencing is most appropriate for someone that has had thorough pre-test counseling by a cancer genetics expert and is comfortable with the potential ambiguities related to many of the newer genes that can be tested,” Farmer said.

The science is always improving.

“These tests are good, but no genetic test is perfect. A negative test result does not rule out a hereditary contribution to someone’s personal/family history of cancer. If this history is suspicious, it may be appropriate for a person to undergo earlier or additional screening for the types of cancers seen in his/her family, even after a negative test result,” Farmer said.

o matter what skin color or income level, women with breast cancer deserve the best treatment that America can offer. However, disparities exist between white and minority women and upper- and lower-income women.

While studies looking at cancer care are inconsistent, some have shown “that minority populations have barriers such as distrust, cultural and health literacy barriers that may impact their cancer care,” said Dr. Jacqueline W. Miller, medical director, National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Some studies have shown that black women are more likely to have a delay in following up on abnormal mammograms and receiving cancer treatment or complete treatment compared to white women.

Lower-income individuals are more likely to be uninsured, which may impact their ability to receive appropriate care,” said Miller, who is a captain with the U.S. Public Health Service.

Diagnosis of breast cancer can also come later for certain groups.

“Studies have shown that black women are more often found to have breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast (regional and late stage disease) at the time of diagnosis,” Miller said.

While breast cancer affects all women and some men, minority women are more likely to have aggressive subtypes of breast cancer, according to a 2015 study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Because of this disparity, breast cancer deaths among women will remain because of differences in the aggressiveness of breast cancer, Miller said.

“All women should have equal access to screening, diagnostic and treatment services. Uninsured women should take the opportunity to get insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Federal, state and local health agencies can help women understand why they need mammograms, what to expect and about timely, high-quality breast cancer care. Community improvements such as making

CARE

Tips for all women to get adequate health screening access to walking areas, availability of healthy foods can help women reduce their cancer risks,” Miller said.

Here are some tips to help women get better and equal care: • Women should review their family medical history and risk factors with their provider, discuss any problems or concerns with their provider and get appropriate screenings and diagnostic care as indicated.

• Women should make sure that they receive their mammogram results and follow up on any abnormalities.

• Women can do things to reduce their risks for getting breast cancer such as exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcoholic drinks and avoiding taking hormones.

• All women with breast cancer should have timely, high-quality cancer care based on their diagnosis, including access to clinical trials. If possible, women should work with patient navigators who can answer questions, assist with making sure appointments are kept, and help with understanding of treatment course and expectations.
