How is the election season treating you? With a month to go until Election Day, are you tired of the political ads filling TVs, and the 24-hour news channels filled with what seems to be nonstop analysis of mainly the presidential race (that’s a whole other column)?

JJC begins new program to support children of alumni By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College announced this past week the establishment of the JJC Legacy Program, which officials said will support the academic success of children and dependents of the school’s alumni. On Oct. 1, the college began accepting applications from students who are the children or legal dependents of JJC alumni, according to an Oct. 3 news release. Those include sons, daughters and stepchildren of JJC alumni. “We are investing in students’ success by providing financial support – up to $400 – for three consecutive semesters,” JJC officials stated in the news release. A legacy program was recommended by Yolanda Isaacs, JJC vice president of Student Development, at a march Board of Trustees meeting. She said JJC would potentially be the first community college to run such a program. Isaacs said at the time that with state budget issues, more family members will need financial support. In September, state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, warned JJC officials there

“The JJC Legacy Program speaks to the college’s commitment of helping students in the community and upholds the college’s vision of being the first choice for students, employers and the community as they pursue their educational goals and dreams.” Judy Mitchell Joliet Junior College president

might be more state stopgap budgets. JJC has had to cut back on spending because of unreliable state funding. JJC officials said applicants must meet the following criteria for the legacy program: • Son, daughter, stepson, stepdaughter or legal dependent of a JJC alumni. • Alumni must have received an associate’s degree from JJC. • Applicant currently must be enrolled full time. • Applicant must be a district resident. • Applicants cannot have previously earned a JJC degree; to be considered for the scholarship, they need to complete 12 or more hours with a 2.5 grade-point average in the currently enrolled semester.

Honored guests shovel some gravel during the groundbreaking ceremony Friday for the Joliet Gateway Center being built downtown.

YES, JOLIET, A TRAIN STATION IS BEING BUILT To open in late 2017 By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It won’t be long now, relatively speaking, until the new train station is built in downtown Joliet. The project has been in the works for six years. But construction is starting in a few weeks, and the station is expected to open by the end of 2017. Local, regional and state officials gathered Friday for a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the commencement of the latest phase of the project. “It’s been a long time coming,” Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said to start off the cer-

emony in which he and others would dig shovels into railroad track gravel for the groundbreaking photo opportunity. Even when it’s done, however, it won’t quite be done. A new bus station that was to be part of the transportation center when plans first were announced in November 2010 still awaits funding. That part of the plan is on hold until money is available. At one time there were estimates that the complete Joliet Gateway Center – the name given to the multifaceted project designed to put all of the city’s public transit in one central hub – would be done be late 2013.

‘Nice – finally’

Even four years later, a modern

train station will be welcomed by Metra commuters, who have been buying tickets out of a temporary trailer and waiting for the train outdoors since the old Union Station was closed off to them in September 2014. “It will be nice – finally,” Mary Stechyna of Joliet said as she waited for the Rock Island Metra train at the canopied boarding area that is one of the completed parts of the project. Stechyna will not miss the old Union Station, which she found “kind of dumpy.” She said she is looking forward to “cleanliness, maybe a little coffee shop, WiFi accessibility” once the new station opens. Among those at the groundbreaking was state Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn, who said

the Joliet project was aimed at “having services available for people. But it’s also about amenities, so people aren’t standing in the snow.” But for the state of Illinois, the project never would have got started. Former Gov. Pat Quinn came to Joliet just days before the November 2010 election to announce a state grant to jumpstart the construction of a new public transit center. City officials for months had been applying unsuccessfully for federal grants available for public transportation projects.

Funding issues

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The two top Democrats in the Illinois Legislature urged on Friday fellow party members in Will County to turn out the vote in November while voicing concerns about the money being spent by Gov. Bruce Rauner in the election. House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton were the keynote speakers at Friday night’s Will County Democratic Central Committee’s Legislative Leaders Dinner. Madigan described an “epic struggle” in state government, and both he and Cullerton applauded Democratic legislative leaders for blocking the governor’s self-described turnaround agenda. The appearance of both Madigan and Cullerton at the dinner was considered a coup for the county Democratic Party. “I want you to look at all the Democrats in this room,” Will County Democratic Party Chairman Scott Pyles told the crowd. “Will County is on the map. We’re on the move.” The legislative leaders were joined by Susana Mendoza, the party’s candidate for comptroller, who spoke about her Bolingbrook roots. All three of them voiced concerns about the amount of money Rauner was pouring into the campaign to elect Republicans in November. “The question is whether Bruce Rauner can buy this election by outspending the rest of Illinois,” Cullerton

• TRAIN STATION

Continued from page 3 up the bulk of what was estimated to be a $42 million project. Costs have climbed since, and the final price for the project now is estimated at $50 million. But the availability of state funds became an issue almost from the start as Illinois finances worsened. Within months, the state grants were caught up in litigation that tied up state capital funding, the first financial snag in the project. More recently, the state put a hold on funding over concerns that Joliet was not going forward with the bus station. A $16 million contract with Walsh Construction, the company building the train station along with a new commuter platform, was held up for nine months until city, state and re-

told the crowd. “We will be outspent in this election.” Madigan said Rauner and “three or four of his friends” have put up $12 million to support Republicans running for seats in the House. Both legislative leaders sounded familiar themes, saying Democrats represented working people as the governor pushed an agenda that they said would erode wages.

“It’s been an epic struggle, a tough struggle,” Madigan said. “And, believe me the Democrats in the Illinois Legislature have stood strong, and they will continue to stand strong for working people in Illinois.” Asked after the dinner whether his joint appearance with Cullerton signalled the importance of Will County to the party, Madigan said, “It’s a growing Democratic area.”

Cullerton said he was there in part to support state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, who is in a tough campaign against Republican Michelle Smith, the president of the Plainfield School District 202 board of education. “You can tell from the turnout that there’s a lot of support from Democrats here,” Cullerton said. “I’m hoping to help out in any way I can.” Mendoza called upon her own Will County roots in telling the crowd she was “flattered” by $5 million recently contributed by two billionaires to her opponent, Comptroller Leslie Munger, a Republican appointed by Rauner. “I went to Bolingbrook High School, and I’m a Raider,” Mendoza said. “I know a thing or two about winning.” Mendoza, now the city clerk in Chicago, was an all-State soccer player at Bolingbrook High School. Munger has her own local connections as a Joliet native who graduated from Joliet West High School. She now lives in Lincolnshire. Democrats paid $70 a plate for the dinner at International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 176 Hall in Joliet.

gional transportation officials sorted out what to do about the bus station. Also at the groundbreaking was Rick Kwasneski, chairman of the board for Pace. “We’re still confident that it [the bus station] eventually will be part of the project, but it just won’t happen when we thought it would,” Kwasneski said. He said Pace would join the city to seek funding for the bus station. The bus station, already downsized from the original plan, would include a turnaround area to accommodate buses. The cost is pegged at $7.5 million.

realigned to separate freight trains from commuter trains, which speeds up freight movement through downtown and makes boarding safer for rail commuters. “They’re going to get a new stateof-the-art train station, and they have improved safety,” Dorothy said. “They no longer will have to walk across live tracks at any time.” Heritage Corridor commuters walked across the tracks to board from Union Station. In the new setup, they will use underground tunnels to get to the commuter platforms that Walsh Construction will build. Even without the funding issues, the project was likely to be a long one. Construction on the track realignment took place while trains were going through, a process that slowed down jobs as workers would have to clear the tracks for safety’s sake. Walsh Construction will work

around the trains as it builds the new platform and station. “That’s probably the biggest challenge,” said Robert Tansey, project manager for Walsh. “When the trains come, a lot of times we stop working.” But the delays have been factored into the schedule. Metra Executive Director Don Orseno joined the festivities Friday, saying the regional public transportation network needed “more groundbreakings, renovations turning old and not as functional as they used to be facilities into newer, more innovative ways of moving people.” Funding such projects, Orseno said, is an issue everywhere. As much as the groundbreaking was celebrated, the eventual ribbon-cutting ceremony will likely be more appreciated. “There’s no question,” O’Dekirk said, “that people will be happy when that station is done.”

Joliet Legion post holds hiring event By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet American Legion Post 1080 will host a hiring event for veterans and the general public on Oct. 17. The event begins at 9 a.m. for veterans only during the first hour. Anyone can come between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. More than 40 companies will be at the job fair, and Veterans Affairs will be there with information about services for veterans. “What we’re trying to do is put veterans back to work,” said Jorge Eric Bermudez, a veterans employment representative for the Illinois Department of Employment Security. IDES is organizing the event at the American Legion Post 1080, which is located at 2625 Ingalls Ave. in Joliet. The event is part of American Legion efforts to help veterans find employment, said Gary Stieg, senior vice commander at Post 1080.

If you go n WHAT: Joliet American Legion Post 1080 hiring event n WHEN: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17 with a 9 a.m. start for veterans n WHERE: 2625 Ingalls Ave. in Joliet “The Legion does this all year long,” Stieg said, noting posts around the state host job fairs at various times. Post 1080 held a similar job fair four years ago, and it brought in about 300 people, Stieg said. The first hour of the event is devoted to veterans only as part of the American Legion’s mission to provide services for veterans, Stieg said. But the general public is welcome to come as well after 10 a.m. The Department of Illinois American Legion will host a booth at the event to provide information about the organization and its programs.

LOCAL BRIEFS Boil order lifted for area of Joliet JOLIET – A precautionary boil order issued earlier this week for a portion of Joliet has been lifted. The precautionary boil order was issued Thursday morning and lifted Friday afternoon, according to a news release from the city. “The necessary flushing and purification verification steps have been completed and have found no traces of contamination,” the city stated in the news release. “Water samples have been confirmed to be free of bacteria by a certified laboratory. Residents in the affected area may return to normal use of water.” The order was called after a water main break Wednesday in the vicinity of Clay and Herkimer Streets, which affected the northeast portion of Joliet’s service area. The boil order issued by the Joliet Public Utilities Department was for those in the following areas: bounded on the west by Franklin street; on the north by Columbia Street; on the east by Youngs Street; and on the south by Jackson Street. Repairs were done Thursday, and the precautionary boil order was issued because of the size of the service outage

area, according to the news release. Residents in this area were asked to boil water for drinking or cooking for five minutes before use as a result of the order.

Will County State’s Attorney welcomes new search canine By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County investigators will have a new tool to sniff out evidence of child pornography and other crimes. The High Technology Crimes Unit has obtained Cache, a 75-pound black Labrador trained to find electronic devices, which State’s Attorney James Glasgow said frequently are hidden when searching a suspect’s home. Many commonly used electronic storage devices, such as hard drives and thumb drives, are manufactured with a proprietary chemical that Cache and other labs have been trained to react to – just like some police canines are trained to find drugs or explosives. “Someone thinks they’re being clever [hiding items] or else we go in and the house is just a mess from hoarding, but a dog’s sense of smell is so incredible, you can’t comprehend what they can pick up,” Glasgow said. Glasgow recalled child pornography cases where SIM cards were found hidden under carpets and behind walls. Cache was purchased from Todd Jordan, an Indiana firefighter and dog handler who developed the training program, using seized funds. One of Jordan’s other dogs found hidden equipment used against former Subway

Will County investigators will have a new tool to sniff out evidence of child pornography and other crimes as the High Technology Crimes Unit has obtained Cache, a 75-pound black Labrador trained to find electronic devices. pitchman Jared Fogle, who was con-

victed of child pornography and sexual

abuse charges, Glasgow said. “When Cache stands up [on his hind legs] he’s 6-feet tall, so he’s got quite a search range,” Glasgow said. Cache will be handled by High Technology Crimes Unit Investigator Megan Brooks and live with Brooks and her family, Glasgow said. Brooks and Cache will be training together for several weeks and the dog is expected to be available for searches starting next month. “If there are law enforcement agencies where [an electronics] search is needed, the dog will be available,” Glasgow said. In addition to Cache, the state’s attorney’s office has four therapy dogs – Jackson, Malley, Kiwi and Angus – to provide comfort to child abuse victims. Kiwi and Angus are trained to assist children while they testify in court. “I have always loved dogs. Every night when I come home from work, they are there to greet me without fail. They are always there to provide unconditional love without request,” Glasgow said. “The dogs that work in my office have been embraced by my staff as well as all those who visit. They also provide important therapeutic services to crime victims and other individuals who struggle with addictions and mental health issues.”

12 COAL CITY

Retired police chief, fire captain dies By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Retired Coal City Police Chief and Coal City Fire Protection District Capt. Dennis Neary always wanted to have fun, watch the Chicago Cubs and make sure everyone around him was OK. On Oct. 2 at the Joliet Area Community Hospice Home, Neary lost his battle with advanced stage lung cancer. He Dennis Neary was 66. “Everyone described him as stoic,” said his youngest sister, Lisa Volkman. “I wasn’t sure what that meant so I looked it up, and the definition fits my brother.” Neary spent his life in public service. He started as a part-time member of the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department before he was hired in 1972 as a full-time patrol officer in Coal City. After patrolling for several years Neary was named the police chief, a role he served in for the next 30 years. “There was a lot of years between us,” Volkman said. “I was at his high school graduation, I watched his career

as a policeman and fireman, and I always looked up to him as a hero. He always helped everyone.” Neary didn’t just serve as the chief of police though – his desire to help others also took him to the Coal City Fire Protection District, which he joined in 1978. He served as a firefighter and emergency medical technician, and retired in 2014 with the rank of captain. Neary was the second oldest boy in a family of six children, born to Edwin and Marilyn Neary, now Marilyn Kneller. As a child he made igloos with his siblings, and rode on top of a makeshift sled that was once a car hood, pulled around by his father. As an adult, he loved family vacations and reunions, Bloody Marys, golf and the Cubs. In an Oct. 3 post on Facebook, the Coal City Police Department stated: “Chief Neary was a dedicated and beloved leader within the Police Department for 35 years. Chief Neary’s love for life and his willingness to give back to the community will always be remembered.” Funeral services were held Friday at the First Baptist Church in Coal City.

LOCKPORT

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com

Illini Legal Services (Formerly Best Price Legal Services)

reviewed at the workshop meeting a statewide township salary comparison. Batusich agreed with Boyce, and said the township is healthy financially and has the ability to pay for the increases. They both noted the increase, when factoring in the last four years of non-increases, amounts to a 1.5-percent per year. He also noted Cielenski has asked for, and received, slight increases for highway department employees each of the last four years.

Residents speak out

During the meeting, two Lockport Township residents expressed displeasure with the township’s voting process. Carl Bebrich said – according to the video – he feels that when a pay raise is requested for elected officials, voters are owed some justification for it. Bebrich noted there wasn’t a raise during the previous term, so it could be looked at as 12 percent over eight years. However, Bebrich then directed his comments at Alberico. “I do believe you as supervisor owe it to the public to explain why it’s necessary and why it’s fair, and what the rational was for selecting the 3 percent vs. some other percentage,” Bebrich

said, adding that the public hasn’t gotten that explanation. Bebrich said he was concerned about the process, in which the vote passed before public comment was allowed at the end of the meeting. Township Clerk Denise Mushro Rumchak pointed out to Bebrich the township did have a workshop meeting that was open to the public in which proposed increases were discussed. Resident Barbara Delaney told the board she did some research of surrounding townships of similar demographics. She said Wheatland Township has an annual salary of $29,000 for supervisor and $11,000 for clerk. Meanwhile, she said, the Lockport Township supervisor makes $65,227 a year and the clerk makes $59,400 a year. “I just think it would be nice if you did a little more due diligence informing the public and getting the word out more so they understand the process you go through before this decision is made,” Delaney said to the board. Mushro Rumchak said arriving at the salary amount is based on the assessed valuation of the township and how many parcels are in it, then comparing it to townships of similar proximity.

LOCKPORT – Lockport Township trustees voted last week to increase pay for the township’s four full-time elected positions. The township supervisor, assessor, clerk and highway commissioner positions will each receive a 3 percent pay increase during each year of the next four-year term, which begins after the April 2017 elections. The full-time positions did not receive pay increases during the current four-year term. Trustee positions weren’t included in the ordinance and won’t see pay increases in the next term. Trustees Barb Boyce, John Batusich and Township Supervisor Ronald Alberico voted “yes” to the increase. Trustee Michael Lewandowski voted “no.” Trustee Dean Morelli abstained from voting. During the meeting, which was posted to YouTube, Highway Commissioner John Cielenski apologized before the vote for missing a workshop meeting in which the pay increases were discussed. Cielenski then said he thinks it’s “a little excessive” to propose a 12 percent

pay increase over a four-year term, given the current economy. With the ordinance, Township Collector Lance McCalla will receive $50 per township meeting night. Cielenski said he was surprised to see that included in the ordinance – noting the township “hasn’t done that in the past.” When reached Friday afternoon for comment, Boyce and Batusich said they, along with Alberico and Lewandowski, were in favor of the increase during the workshop meeting. Batusich said Morelli wanted more information before making a decision, which Morelli did say before abstaining in the township meeting. Batusich said he was surprised to see Lewandowski change his mind. When reached by phone on Friday, Lewandowski declined to comment on why he voted against the increases. A call to Morelli was not immediately returned. Batusich said 2 percent and 4 percent annual increases were considered in the workshop meeting but ultimately he, Boyce, Alberico and Lewandowski left agreeing to 3 percent increases. Boyce said she voted yes because the positions had not seen pay increases in the last four years and the committee

Sale of old Wilmington police station delayed By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – The city of Wilmington is looking to sell its old police station, but it will have to wait a bit longer. An ordinance directing the sales of the old police station at 120 N. Main St. and adjoining lots was on the City Council agenda for Tuesday, but it went back to the committee level. City Accountant Kim Doglio said Friday the matter went back to the Building and Grounds Committee for review because there was a change in the lot area to be encompassed in the sale. Councilman Kirby Hall said a build-

ing that is home to the Wilmington Area Historical Society’s museum mistakenly was included in the sale paperwork. That building is not included in the potential sale, he said. The building was constructed in 1957 as a post office, but the department began using it in the 1980s up until 2015 when it entered a state-of-the-art facility near City Hall. The new station is a 8,504-square-foot building that was fully funded by a $2 million contribution to the city as part of the RidgePort Logistics development agreement. Attempts Friday to reach Wilmington Mayor Marty Orr and Administrator Tony Graff were unsuccessful.

Congratulations to Siegel’s Farm! Harvesting Farm Memories Since 1909

LOCAL BRIEF Will County Sheriff’s Office wants you to lock your car doors

JOLIET – The Will County Sheriff’s Office has seen a spike in motor vehicle burglary reports within the past few weeks. While noting the majority of burglarized cars are unlocked when the crime occurs, the sheriff’s office is reminding residents to lock their vehicles as these types of thefts are considered a “crime of opportunity,” according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. With doors or windows left open, a criminal can be in and out within seconds, the news release stated. The sheriff’s office recommends following these tips to avoid becoming an easy target: • Do not leave anything of value inside your car, including checkbooks, cellphones, chargers, GPS units and loose change. • Place any valuables that will remain in the vehicle in the trunk or hide it out of plain sight. • If you see something, say something. Report any suspicious individuals in your neighborhood who may be scout-

ing out the area for easy targets. If you are out-and-about and see suspicious subjects walking through parking lots looking into vehicles, call your local police department, the release stated.

MINOOKA – The Minooka Community High School District 111 school board last week approved 3 percent raises for several administrators and other staff who are not in a bargaining unit or under an employment contract. The new annual salaries approved at Thursday meeting are for: Trent Bontrager, department chairman of career and technical education, $103,066; Donna Engel, department chairman of science and music, $101,829; Ronald Kiesewetter, principal, $133,900; Jill Nehring, department chairwoman of mathematics, $85,490; Bob Tyrell, athletic director, $111,626; and Matt Wikoff, Central Campus assistant principal, $98,818. Non-certified staff who received raises are: Jim Anderson, assistant director of South Campus Buildings and Grounds, $65,423; Dave DiLorenzo, director of Community Relations, $71,108; Troy Durdan, bus mechanic, $41,523; Leonel Guzman, bus mechanic, $41,523; Jackie Hardie, director of Transportation, $66,950; and Colleen Ward, secretary to the superintendent, $63,568. The board also approved establishing the Dr. John J. and Mildred Brinckerhoff Coady Scholarship Endowment and a donation of $500,000 from The Charlene A. Coady Trust to begin the endowment. Dr. Coady was a prominent phy-

sician in Mokena and Minooka in the early 1900s, and his wife, Mildred Brinkerhoff Coady, was the niece of Dr. John Brinkerhoff, another well-known Will County physician. Their daughter, Charlene, recently died and had requested a scholarship be set up for a MCHS graduating senior in her parents’ names. “Charlene Coady was a very proud Minooka Community High School alum,” Superintendent Kenneth Lee said after Thursday’s meeting. “She grew up here ... and was very fond of being raised in Minooka and had great memories of attending the high school. ... We’re just extraordinarily thrilled and humbled that she thought that much of her experience here and are very thankful to the Charlene A. Coady Trust.” Lee said upon receipt of the donation, a committee would be formed to set guidelines for the college scholarship based upon Coady’s wishes. In personnel matters, the board approved hiring bus drivers Crystal DeAnda and Bill Bland at rates of $42 per route and creating a new position for a library aide at South Campus. Resignations were accepted for bus driver Renee Fonck and girls’ soccer assistant coach Jason Boe, and termination was approved for custodian Greg Ferro. Extracurricular appointments were made for Janelle Johnston as cheerleading volunteer and for Nick Tkaczuk and Curt Pazda as MAC volunteers.

Insurer exits reduce choices in Illinois marketplace By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Choices will be fewer for health insurance marketplace customers – including those in Grundy County – shopping for 2017 coverage in many parts of President Barack Obama’s home state. The Illinois Department of Insurance says 75 percent of Illinois counties will have only one or two insurance companies selling coverage on the health law marketplace for 2017. In seven counties – Grundy, Kendall, Lake Madison, McHenry, Monroe and St. Clair– Blue Cross Blue Shield will be the only insurer selling marketplace policies. Open enrollment for HealthCare.gov starts Nov. 1 and ends Jan. 31. The marketplace policies are the only way some people who aren’t insured through their jobs can get government tax credits to help bring down the cost. Across the nation, insurers have dropped out of the “Obamacare” marketplaces. In Illinois, four have exited or folded, leaving five companies. Insurers were counting on payments from the federal government that they didn’t get, said Illinois Department of Insurance Acting Director Anne Melissa Dowling. Sicker patients and higher drug costs also contributed to insurers’ financial losses, she said. “There’s nothing happening in Illinois that isn’t happening nationally,” Dowling said in an interview with The Associated Press. Voters’ choices in November could lead to changes in the health care law, or its repeal, depending on the election outcomes for the White House and Congress. Dowling acknowledged the election results could offer opportunities to

improve insurance companies’ ability to predict their costs, presuming the health care law survives. She said her department would participate in the discussion, but not until after the election. “Once we know the composition of all the players, we certainly will, but until then, we’re just going to stand down,” Dowling said. About 388,000 Illinois residents were covered by marketplace plans as of last March. About 70,000 will need to enroll in new health plans in 2017 because their 2016 carrier withdrew from the market. The Obama administration intends to match them with a health plan, but consumers should make their own decisions, Dowling said. “They should look really hard at what the [provider] networks are, the copays, the co-insurance, things that are relevant to individual family needs and health situations,” Dowling said. Illinois this year will employ more than 600 people to assist consumers with enrollment questions. Consumers can make an appointment for free help through the Get Covered Illinois website, Dowling said. “I want to make sure people realize the department is here, that Get Covered Illinois is here. Our assistance is free and confidential,” Dowling said. She promised “quite a bit of marketing” to get the word out that health insurance is available. Before she was appointed by Gov. Bruce Rauner, a Republican, Dowling helped lead the Connecticut Insurance Department and served as a board member of Connecticut’s state-based health insurance exchange. Rauner made Get Covered Illinois a division of Dowling’s insurance department in 2015.

Lincoln-Way D-210 officials begin strategic planning process By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way District 210 board met last week to develop strategic goals for the district. The board approved at the Sept. 22 meeting the consulting services of Robert Madonia, a consultant from RJM Consulting Services, to facilitate a five-year strategic long-range plan and develop focus areas of study with the board. A board meeting was held Oct. 3 to develop strategic goals. Six focus areas of study were established that include: • Finance • Building and grounds • Community and public relations • Curriculum, assessment and outcomes • Human resources • Technology “Those will be the areas that we’ll start with,” Superintendent Scott Tingley said. According to the district’s board packet for the Oct. 3 meeting, the focus area for finance includes improving credit rating, getting the district off the financial watch list, eliminating tax anticipation warrants, exploring new funding resources, restoring fund

balances and more. The community and public relations area includes engagement of community and building trust, community advisory committees and protecting the “[Lincoln-Way] brand.” Tingley said groups will eventually be formed to discuss topics in those focus areas. The groups will be comprised of community members, board members, faculty and others. “We’re in a situation where we need to move the district forward. This is a very transparent vehicle to move the district forward,” Tingley said. District officials stated Tuesday that the next step in the strategic planning process is to formulate a survey, which will be available on the district’s website, to get stakeholder input. The district’s strategic long-range planning committee will review the results to formulate goals and develop action plans to achieve the goals. According to a proposed strategic planning calendar for District 210 in the Oct. 3 board packet, there is a scheduled meeting in mid-November with the board and administration to be trained to facilitate the focus groups, followed by a two-day session with the community committee in early December.

CORNEAL IMPLANT FOR PRESBYOPIA If you’re tired of reaching for your reading glasses, you may be interested in an FDA-approved implanted device that changes the shape of the cornea to improve near vision in those with “presbyopia” (age-related loss of near vision). The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay is a clear device composed of hydrogel material that resembles a minuscule contact lens. It is intended for individuals who have not had cataract surgery and who need to use reading glasses with +1.50 to +2.50 diopters of power, but do not need glasses or contacts for clear distance vision. The device is surgically implanted beneath a corneal flap in the patients’ non-dominant eye, where it provides the cornea with a steeper curve that improves near vision.

THOMAS R. VILT Born: Jan. 12, 1956 Died: Oct. 6, 2016

By JENNIFER McDERMOTT The Associated Press PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The memories of bombs falling on the battleship USS Arizona were too painful for Raymond Haerry to ever return to Pearl Harbor, while he lived. But that’s precisely where he wants to be laid to rest. Haerry was one of the last living crew members on the Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He died Sept. 27 in Rhode Island at age of 94, said his son, Raymond Haerry Jr. He was one of six remaining Arizona survivors. Hundreds of sailors and Marines are entombed in the ship’s sunken hull. “As he was getting closer to the end, I think he felt that if there’s any place that he’d like to be at rest, it would be with his crewmates, the people who suffered and died on that day,” Haerry Jr. told The Associated Press on Friday. Haerry Jr. said his father never wanted to talk about what happened on Dec. 7, 1941. But after 50 years of asking questions, Haerry Jr. said he pieced together the narrative.

Haven’t gotten around to it? Find someone to do it for you in the At Your Service Directory in the classified section.

His father, then 19 years old, ran to an anti-aircraft gun after the first explosions, but the ammunition was in storage. He tried to get ammunition, but a large bomb detonated first, igniting fuel and powder magazines. Most of the bow was instantly separated, and the ship was lifted out of the water. Haerry Jr. said his father swam through flaming waters, sweeping his arms in front of him to push the flames away. He shot at Japanese planes from shore. Later, he helped retrieve corpses from the harbor. The ship lost 1,177 men, nearly fourfifths of its crew. Documentary filmmaker Tim Gray recently interviewed Haerry for “Remember Pearl Harbor,” a film for this year’s 75th anniversary of the attack. “He struggled toward the end of his life to speak, but you could tell by looking into his eyes that he remembered everything about that morning,” Gray said. Anytime a World War II veteran dies, Gray said, a piece of history is lost. Haerry served for 25 years in the Navy, retiring as a master chief.

State to have same-day voter registration Nov. 8 Circuit court rules challenge to law won’t be resolved until after election By IVAN MORENO The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Same-day voter registration will be allowed in Illinois in the general election because an appeals court ruled Friday that a challenge to the law won’t be resolved until after Nov. 8. The decision from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals not to expedite the case means the legal wrangling between a conservative group and the state won’t affect this election, but the question of whether the law is constitutional remains unresolved. This week, the appeals court issued a ruling temporarily canceling a federal judge’s decision that the Election Day voter registration law, as drafted by lawmakers, is discriminatory to voters in rural, GOP-leaning areas. If that ruling stood, it would’ve prevented

same-day voter registration on Nov. 8. Under the law, counties with more than 100,000 residents must allow Election Day registration. Smaller counties that keep electronic records must do the same, but voters in places without electronic records must travel to the county’s main election office or a larger municipality. The conservative Illinois Policy Institute sued to overturn the law, which began as a pilot project in 2014 and was expanded in 2015. Jacob Huebert, a Liberty Justice Center attorney representing the group, said the law is a “tremendous advantage” to candidates who draw their support from high-population areas, like Chicago. He called the law “unfair and unequal.” “We’ve done all we can do for now, but we’re hopeful that when the court has an opportunity to hear the case af-

Some planners also question the need for the road and its financial viability. Illinois shelved the $1.5 billion project when Gov. Bruce Rauner took office in 2015. But The (Northwest Indiana) Times reported the Illinois Department of Transportation is cooperating with the revisions while making it clear it won’t pursue the road without “a determination that the project is financially viable.” A federal judge last year rejected the earlier environmental review, citing flaws including a failure to thoroughly evaluate the impact on the tallgrass prairie.

Chicago park named for teen fatally shot in 2013

CHICAGO – A park is being named after the 15-year-old honors student whose name became synonymous with gun violence in Chicago when she was shot to death nearly four years ago.

U of Illinois donations fall by tenth, but still top $220M

URBANA – Donations to the University of Illinois fell 10 percent in the fiscal year that ended June 30 but still totaled more than $220 million for a fourth straight year. The UI Foundation announced the numbers Friday. The News-Gazette reported that the university’s fundraising arm recorded $224.7 million in cash gifts, pledge payments, annuities and estate distributions in fiscal 2016 for its three campuses. That’s down from $251.5 million in fiscal 2015. The combined endowment also dropped in value, from $2.5 billion in 2015 to $2.43 billion this past year. Officials said that was due in part to the market impact of Britain’s vote in June to leave the European Union.

GOP telling him to quit, Trump vows to press on By STEVE PEOPLES and JILL COLVIN The Associated Press NEW YORK – A defiant Donald Trump insisted Saturday he would “never” abandon his White House bid, rejecting a growing backlash from Republican leaders nationwide who disavowed the GOP’s presidential nominee after he was caught on tape bragging about predatory advances on women. Trump’s own running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, declared he could neither condone nor defend Trump’s remarks in a 2005 videotape that sparked panic inside Trump Tower and throughout the Republican Party with early voting already underway exactly one month before Election Day. “We pray for his family,” Pence said in a statement after canceling a Wisconsin appearance scheduled with House Speaker Paul Ryan and the Republican National Committee chairman, Reince Priebus, both of whom had condemned Trump’s remarks the day before but stopped short of withdrawing support altogether. The furor places enormous pressure on Trump to try to tamp down a crisis sure to spill into Sunday night’s presidential debate. But even as the fallout deepened fractures in a party already torn about Trump, many remained loyal to the political outsider. Wisconsin voter Jean Stanley donned a shirt proclaiming “Wisconsin Women Love Trump” and called Ryan a “traitor” for denouncing the presidential contender’s comments. “He’s a real human,” Stanley said of the New York businessman, surrounded by Trump supporters at the Wisconsin rally where he was set to appear before the videotape emerged. Ryan and Priebus did not join a chorus of GOP officeholders from Utah to Alabama to New Hampshire who decided the former reality tele-

Both are in competitive congressional races and said they can’t stand by Trump in light of lewd comments from 2005 released on Friday. vision star’s bombshell was too much to take. More than a dozen Republicans – senators, congressmen and sitting governors – announced Saturday they would not vote for Trump. Among them was the party’s 2008 nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain, who had stood by Trump even after the billionaire questioned whether the former POW should be considered a war hero because he got “captured.” “He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set,” McCain said in a statement. But given Trump’s “behavior this week,” McCain said, it is “impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy.” Many went farther and called on Trump to quit the race altogether. “I thought supporting the nominee was the best thing for our country and our party,” Alabama Rep. Martha Roby said in a statement. “Now, it is abundantly clear that the best thing for our country and our party is for Trump to step aside and allow a responsible, respectable Republican to lead the ticket.” His party in chaos, Trump spent Saturday with a close circle of advisers in his cam-

paign’s midtown Manhattan headquarters. Among them: former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who said calls for Trump to bow out are simply the “wishful thinking of the Clinton campaign and those people who have opposed him for a long time.” Trump addressed the dire situation on Saturday with a light-hearted tweet: “Certainly has been an interesting 24 hours!” He later tweeted he would not yield the GOP nomination under any circumstances: “The media and establishment want me out of the race so badly - I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN!” The political firestorm was sparked by a 2005 video obtained and released Friday by The Washington Post and NBC News. In the video, Trump, who was married to his current wife at the time, is heard describing attempts to have sex with a married woman. He also brags about women letting him kiss them and grab their genitals because he is famous. “When you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything,” Trump says in the video. He adds seconds later: “Grab them by the p----. You can do anything.” He said of his impulse to kiss beautiful women: “I don’t even wait.”

Stock in Kellogg Co. looking good for long term Dear Mr. Berko: My mama has 162 shares of Kellogg’s, which I want her to sell. A friend told her that it won’t be taken over by a bigger company and the price will go lower, but she won’t sell. What can I do? – K.D., Detroit Dear K.D.: I don’t think Mama should sell Kellogg’s, but what would you do with the money? Most folks don’t know that Kellogg (K-$76.48) ends with a double g and are surprised to learn that “egg” is the only other common English word ending in double g. Did you know that in 1907, Kellogg’s gave a free box of Corn Flakes to every woman who would wink at her grocer? Grocers gave away thousands of boxes of Corn Flakes. But W.K. Kellogg, who founded Kellogg’s in 1898, and his brother stopped the promotion. Apparently, the unintended consequences created some marriage problems. Do you like Keebler’s crackers, cookies and pie crusts, or Cheez-Its with cheddar, Swiss or colby? How about Special K, Rice Krispies, AllBran (every mother needs this) and Frosted Flakes? Kellogg’s also sells Froot Loops, Cocoa Krispies, PopTarts, Famous Amos cookies and Eggos – K’s finest mega-calorie, fat-saturated delights, hardening the arteries

K, with 350 million shares, expects to earn $4 a share this year and trades at a comfortable 19 times earnings. But management seems moribund and out of step with the world, probably because the median age of its board is 67. Frankly, I doubt the board members would deign to taste a Pop-Tart or a Froot Loop. K’s board and management might benefit from an industrial-sized group enema. As your mama’s friend said, there’s talk that Kellogg’s may be an acquisition target by a heavyweight competitor. I agree with her friend that it probably won’t happen. Certainly, the breakup and sale of K’s various name brands to competitors would be worth a lot more than $76.48 a share. Individually, the entities could fetch between $122 and $136 a share. However, a large portion of K is owned by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Trust and Kellogg family members. I doubt this generation of Kelloggs would consider a deal. Still, I believe that Kellogg Co. is a superb long-term investment.

The wonderful state of Illinois

Editor’s Note: Wesley Fultz wrote a letter to the editor which was published in the Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2016, edition of The Herald-News in which he asked readers to write about Illinois for a report he needed for his fifth-grade history class at his school in California. This is a letter sent to him by a local resident. Dear Wesley: I read your “Letter to the Editor” in The (Joliet) Herald News asking for information on the State of Illinois for your report in history class. I am happy to give you my views of this wonderful state. I was born in Joliet, Illinois, on Nov. 22, 1942. I am the middle child of five in my family. My great-grandfather, Thomas Riley, came to Lockport, Illinois, in approximately 1860. My mother’s parents, John and Ursula Pirc, arrived in New York in May 1900, from Slovenia. Thomas Riley helped build the Illinois-Michigan canal in Lockport. He and his wife, Mary Ann, lived on Commerce Street and took in Irish laborers who worked on the canal. After the canal opened, Thomas was a canal boat captain, and Mary Ann was a cook. So, as you can see, my roots are deep in Illinois history. I’m sure you probably have heard some negative things about Illinois politics lately. Unfortunately, that is a small part of what Illinois is about. We have some of the most beautiful land and rivers in this country. Starved Rock State Park in Utica is a wonderful place to visit, especially in the fall. The leaves on the trees are changing right now, and the landscape is like a picture postcard. If you come to Illinois, you must stop in Springfield and visit the Lincoln museum. It is so inspiring, and you will learn a lot about our 16th president. Of course, you must also visit Chicago. There is so much beauty in this wonderful city, no matter what the news stories are telling you. A drive down Lake Shore Drive at night is breathtaking. There is nothing like it in the whole world. You can take a ride on the new, huge Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier, and visit so many museums. Your visit will take several days to really enjoy all it has to offer. If you come to Joliet, you must see what we call “The Jewel of Joliet,” the Rialto theater. It is magnificent! Wesley, I have lived in many places – Maryland, California, Florida, Kansas, and even Seoul, Korea, and yet, I keep coming back to Illinois because to me it is “home.” I hope you are fortunate enough to visit some day, and I hope this letter has given you some insight into our wonderful State of Illinois. Sincerely,

Patricia A. Riley Joliet

To the Editor: Think about your child’s teacher. Think about all the things that she/ he does for your child. I had the opportunity to teach junior high students at Morris Elementary for 19 years. It was a distinct honor and humbling privilege. Teachers at Morris Elementary District 54 have been working without a contract since Aug. 15. The teachers have been working diligently to try to resolve the issues fairly. The Board of Education, along with an interim superintendent, the current superintendent, board attorneys, a mediator, a panel of teachers and the teachers’ IEA representative have met several times with some success. However, there is no agreement at this time and only a few issues remain. While the teachers remain willing to negotiate, the board continues to attempt to bring back a proposal they dropped Aug. 12.

Trapping lessons: Pay up and clean up The silence of the evening was broken by berserk barking. Our dog Bickle – who weighs about 4 pounds soaking wet – had cornered a baby opossum in the backyard. The two animals faced off, snarling with fangs bared, until we managed to get Bickle back in the house. “You need to do something about this,” Sara said. “I’m sure it’ll never come back,” I replied. The next morning a dirty gray carcass lay in middle of the yard. Bickle sniffed at it and started whining. Sara poked at it with her foot. It didn’t move. Then she came back in the house with the dog. “There’s a dead possum in the yard,” she announced. Whereupon the dirty gray carcass got up and slinked off into the neighbor’s yard. “You’re gonna have to trap that thing,” she said. “You’re right,” I said. What little I know about trapping I learned from Bear Grylls, TV’s wilderness survival geek. His traps inevitably involve springy trees, which hurl prey high into the air, or large rocks, which squash them. Then he humanely eats them. But springy trees and large rocks are in short supply at our house, so I opted to rent a trap at the township office. “Fifty bucks a week? You’ve got to be kidding! I’d be better off just buying one.” “Can’t do that sir, not without a license,” said the pleasant woman behind the township desk. “Oh, and there’s a $100 deposit on the trap. And a $25 cleaning fee if you bring it back

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus dirty.” Trap in hand and $150 poorer, I headed for the door. “Phone us if you catch anything,” the pleasant woman called cheerfully behind me. The trap, a 4-foot plastic rectangle with a spring door on one end, first had to be baited. For opossums you’re supposed to use cat food, fish or vegetables. Didn’t have any of those. What I did have was a bag of cheese puffs, which turns out is excellent skunk bait. Close enough, I figured. Next you had to set the trap. This involves holding a piece of wire while pulling up on the door while cranking a locking bar into place. The pleasant woman had made it look so easy. It wasn’t. For a while I even considered substituting a large Bear Grylls rock for the spring door. Eventually I managed to set it. The next morning the trap was empty. But in the middle of the yard was another dirty gray carcass. I examined this one personally, with a shovel. This time the baby opossum really was dead. Probably choked on the cheese puffs, I figured. Problem solved. But since I’d already shelled out $50 for the trap, I decided to leave it in place. You know, to get my money’s worth. The next-next morning, to my surprise, the trap was sprung. Something large and furry was inside. I called animal control for pickup.

When the kid from animal control arrived, he looked at me in mild disgust, as if I had trapped a kitten, or perhaps a human baby. “You know there’s an opossum in this trap?” “Yeah, I know. That’s why I called you.” “Were you trying to trap an opossum? Because most people try to trap skunks.” “Well, possums are what’s been invading my yard for the last week. Would have been happy with a skunk though, too.” “I really don’t like to euthanize opossums. They usually don’t bother anybody. Not like skunks.” “It’s been bothering my wife. And my dogs. And I didn’t know you were going to kill it. Why don’t you take it down to the river and let it go?” “Can’t do that, sir. I can only release it back into its local environment.” “Meaning what?” “Meaning I can only release it back into your yard. Is that what you want me to do?” “Why the hell would I have you do that? Why rent a trap in the first place if you’re not going to remove the animal?” “Well, the ladies at the township office will rent traps to anyone. But like I said, I don’t like to euthanize opossums. They’ll just keep coming back anyway, so there’s no point to it.” “Then how am I supposed to keep them out of my yard?” “Build a fence?” he suggested. Now I’m not big on killing things, which is unusual since I’m from downstate Illinois, which has a pretty active hunting culture. Growing up

I had both a pellet gun and a .22, but the only things I ever hunted were tin cans and, when I could find them, empty beer bottles. I’ve really only managed to kill three things over the last 57 years: my wife’s hopes and dreams, and my own career. Could I really be an accomplice to some poor opossum’s murder? But before I could reconsider, the reluctant exterminator had already inserted the exhaust tube of death into the trap and done the deed. I had to leave for work before he emptied the trap, but my neighbors later assured me the possum was “HUGE!” I came home late that night to witness two revelations: The inside of the trap/gas chamber was covered with what Bear Grylls would refer to as, uh, “spoor.” It took about a half hour to hose it all out and I’m still not convinced I won’t get charged the $25 cleaning fee. Possums have large litters. “Up to 20 babies, though of these no more than 13 will survive because the mother only has 13 teats with which to feed them,” according to Google wildlife experts. The mother possum we caught in the trap had at least two babies. I know this because we found the first one dead in the yard the day before. And because Sara and the neighbors were watching the second one eat lunch perched atop a tomato stake as I pulled into the driveway. I guess when it comes to trapping, I’m spoor outta luck.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Continued from page 33

This lack of an agreement affects the students first and foremost, but also the community. If quality teachers are lost, then property values can be affected, as well as community spirit. The teachers of District 54 are an amazing group of professionals who give their all on a daily basis. I urge interested parties to contact board members to finish the negotiations. The community of Morris deserves a fair contract that doesn’t unfairly burden the stakeholders, while at the same time, keeps the education of Morris children at the front of the line.

Neither candidate is a good choice for president

To the Editor: The more I hear from our presidential candidates, the more I fear that we are guaranteed to have an unqualified leader for the next four years. With all of the negative campaigning on both sides, neither candidate has set forth a path that gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling for the issues that need to be addressed for the greater good of our nation. Both candidates are far from being moderate. Hillary is taking the hard-core liberal position of more government oversight, higher taxes and large entitlements. Trump, on the other hand, takes the totally opposite stance of conservatism,

preaching lower taxes, less government and few entitlements. Both candidates have generally promised more jobs, but no clearly defined plan for creating them. They have said what their constituents want to hear, but I fear that neither will be able to deliver. Sound familiar? Hillary is trying to get a lot of mileage out of Trump’s failed businesses. She questions, “Who loses a billion dollars?” Well, many people lose, and make, billions of dollars every day in the business world. Did she forget about the businesses “too big to fail,” that were bailed out by the government? If Hillary wants to really find out who loses a billion dollars, she need look no

further than the national debt. Check it out. It increases about a billion dollars every day. Unfortunately, Trump keeps shooting himself in the foot every time he opens his mouth. Many of his statements are totally irrelevant to the campaign. I have been waiting to see if he is ever going to appear more “presidential.” What it comes down to is this: Which group of millionaires do you feel represents your best interests – the Democrats or Republicans? You know who would make a good president? Dave. Remember the movie? I think I’ll vote for Dave. Joseph J. Petric Morris

36 FOOTBALL: LOCKPORT 14, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 7

Porters able to come back, hold off Warriors By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

LOCKPORT – Lincoln-Way West dominated the first half of Friday night’s SouthWest Suburban Conference football battle with Lockport, but led only 7-0 at the break. The Porters recovered in the second half to score twice and take a 14-7 lead. It apparently was over when they went into punt formation with 19.5 seconds left. Only it wasn’t. Lincoln-Way West’s Jake Price blocked Ben Davis’ punt, and teammate Alex Croft scooped it up at the Lockport 38-yard line. He made a move down the sideline and almost broke free, finally getting hauled down by Lockport’s Nicholas Dado at the 15-yard line with :09.2 on the clock. The Warriors (4-3, 2-2) had time for two pass plays, but both fell incomplete. So the Porters (5-2, 3-2) held on to win, 14-7, on their senior night and perhaps secure a playoff berth, but not before surviving a major scare. “That was a huge play,” Lockport coach Dan Starkey said of the tackle. “If they score on that, they either put it into overtime or – who knows? – maybe they go for two and try to win it. “This was awesome for our kids to come from behind and win this one. This was the type of game you expect in the SouthWest Suburban Conference. Lincoln-Way West is well-coached. They’re a good team. They play hard “ West scored its touchdown with 7:20 left in the second quarter on Cal Pohrte’s 3-yard pass to Kevin Davis, capping an 11-play, 67-yard drive. The Warriors closed the half with a 17:07-to6:53 edge in time of possession, 195-94 in total yards, 13-5 in first downs and 38-22 in offensive plays. West’s 7-0 lead held up until Lockport senior quarterback Ben Davis collaborated with wide receiver Patrick Cooper on a 74-yard touchdown pass with 5:43 left in the third quarter. Davis kicked the extra point to create a 7-all tie. Cooper and West cornerback Matthew Murphy waged a one-on-one battle all night. Murphy intercepted a long pass intended for Cooper early in the third quarter; but the next time Davis looked long in Cooper’s direction, six Lockport points resulted. “He’s by far the best DB (defensive back) I have gone against all year,” Cooper said of Murphy. On the long touchdown? “I just have faith in myself, and I know Ben will lay the ball in there for me,” he said. “We’ve been doing it together since freshman year.”

Porters defensive end Josh Baker made perhaps the play of the game early in the fourth quarter. He sacked Pohrte from behind, stripped the ball and recovered it at the West 28-yard line. Six plays later, Davis found Tavares Moore on a 9-yard scoring pass on third-andgoal, putting Lockport up, 14-7. “I believe it was a passing down, and I wanted to rush outside more,” Baker said. “I have been getting yelled at for getting too much inside. I beat my man to the outside and got to (Pohrte).” Baker – who recovered a West fum-

ble at the Lockport 5-yard line to snuff out the Warriors’ opening drive that knocked more than seven minutes off the clock – contributed two other tackles for loss, helped limit West to 75 rushing yards and applied consistent pressure to Pohrte. “After they scored the first touchdown, we just knew they were not going to score anymore,” Baker said. “We were kind of dead on the field in the first half. We didn’t have the energy we need. (Safety) Eric Jungheim kept saying, ‘Isn’t this fun?’ and he got

us going.” West has dropped three straight, all to playoff-bound, quality opponents. “They play hard,” Warriors coach Dave Ernst said of the Porters. “They have two defensive ends – No. 10 (Baker) and No. 12 (David Balderrama) – who are excellent. They do a great job pass rushing and defending the run. “I think they’re a real good offensive team, too. Our defense did a great job holding them to 14 points.” Pohrte finished 23 of 39 passing for 251 yards. Lockport’s Davis was 10 of 26 for 154 yards, and Moore rushed 17 times for 86 yards. West – whose sophomores pulled out a 28-24, last-second victory – outgained the Porters, 326-240, and held a 19-11 edge in first downs. But two lost fumbles and an interception by Dado helped doom the Warriors. “We made critical errors at critical times again,” Ernst said. “That’s two weeks in a row. It’s penalties and turnovers. Tonight, we turned it over twice when it really hurt. But these kids will answer the bell.” The West defense welcomed back defensive end Jake Dudeck, who was injured early in the season opener and for all practical purposes was playing his first game. “He played well,” Ernst said. “He brings a lift to our whole group.”

FOOTBALL: JOLIET WEST 42, MINOOKA 30

The West defense came up big again with 3:20 left in the first half as Kevon Dorris intercepted a Zach Gessner pass in the end zone to stop another Minooka drive. “The blocked field goal really set the tone for us in the first half,” West coach Jason Aubry said. “We really got on a roll from that point. But I told our coaches and the team at halftime that Minooka was too good of a team not to come back.” That is exactly what the Indians did as they took the second-half kickoff 64 yards in six plays. Gessner hit Max Christiano with a 22-yard touchdown pass. Christiano had 82 yards on seven receptions to go with the touchdown. Gessner was 22 of 38 for 294 yards, with two touchdowns and

two interceptions. However, West put together an 11-play drive that took almost seven minutes off the clock as Aubry hit Alec Vonch with a 10-yard strike to make it 28-14 with 4:31 left in the third quarter. Most of that time-consuming drive was on the legs of junior running back Ezekiel Tulloch. He ended with 146 yards on 25 carries and a touchdown. “I give all the credit to the offensive line,” Tulloch said. “The holes were there, and I was taking advantage. We knew in the second half we needed to keep our heads up and stay positive. The feeling of getting to five wins is incredible. This is one of the best days of my life.” After a Jonathan Pullen interception

for West late in the third quarter, Minooka scored twice within a four-minute span and got a safety on the kickoff after the second touchdown to make it 28-23 with 8:47 left. But the Indians fumbled the West free kick, and Alex Schott recovered for the Tigers. Aubry connected with Ferguson again on a 4-yard touchdown pass to make it 3523 with 2:35 left. “Our kids are making plays, have confidence and have worked hard to be where we are,” Jason Aubry said. “We have that bend-but-don’t-break defense. We want to make the other team make mistakes. We trust our kids to make the plays and they trust each other, and that is big.”

FOOTBALL: ROMEOVILLE 31, PLAINFIELD EAST 15

Romeoville wins again, beats Plainfield East By LARRY LINDHOLM Shaw Media Correspondent ROMEOVILLE – After losing its first five football games, Romeoville has turned things around. The Spartans won their second straight Southwest Prairie Conference game Friday, beating Plainfield East, 31-15. Romeoville’s Zead Hasan kicked a 37-yard field goal to open the scoring, and the Spartans (2-5, 2-5) never looked back. Daytwone Burge’s interception and another defensive stop helped give the Spartans’ offense good field posi-

tion, and the unit led by quarterback Cam Neely delivered. Neely scored on a 4-yard run, and Jordan Nettles’ 52yard run made it a 17-0 game at halftime. “He’s a competitor,” Romeoville coach Oliver Gibson said of Nettles. “He goes fast, has balance and is the force behind our offense. Give credit to our offensive line. They are working and believing in what we have here. Tonight showed their progress.” Elijah Hickman scored for Plainfield East (2-5, 2-5) on a 1-yard run early in the third quarter to make it 17-7. However, Burge returned the en-

suing kickoff 50 yards, Neely made a key third-down run, and Nettles scored from 3 yards out for a 24-7 lead. “That is a sign of our growth and maturity level,” Gibson said of Neely’s clutch first-down pickup. “We are doing things that need to get done.” Nettles, who finished with 195 rushing yards, contributed two highlight-reel runs in a drive that ended in Kevin Patterson’s 10-yard touchdown run to make it 31-7. East’s Khalen Young made an outstanding 15-yard reception and ran 20 yards on an end-around to set up Hickman’s second 1-yard touchdown run

and account for the final score. “Young is a hard worker,” East coach Mike Romeli said. “He is consistent. We played against the best player in the conference (Nettles) and he showed it. “I am proud of the way we were able at times to move the ball, but we need to finish drives when we get down near the end zone. Give the Romeoville defense the credit.” “Our defensive coaches have the knowledge and ability to teach it to these kids,” Gibson said. “Now the kids are maturing and learning to use that knowledge in game situations.”

JOLIET – After building a 21-0 halftime lead, Joliet West held off a furious second-half Minooka rally to win Friday night’s Southwest Prairie Conference game, 42-30. West (5-2, 5-2) thus becomes playoff-eligible. Minooka (3-4, 3-4) took the opening kickoff and drove to the West 5-yard line before the drive stalled. On a 23-yard field goal attempt, the Tigers’ Dawson Beene broke through the line and had a clean block. With the ball bouncing on the ground, Arthur Hart picked it up and ran 87 yards for a touchdown. “I was yelling to pick up the ball, no one did, so I got to it and ran as fast as I could,” Hart said. “That was a big momentum boost at that time.” That momentum propelled West to two more scores in the second quarter, both touchdown passes by Jaxon Aubry. The first covered 27 yards to Johnny Holman at the 9:18 mark. Then on the Tigers next possession, Aubry hit Omari Ferguson with a 23-yard strike. Aubry finished 10 of 26 for 194 yards and four touchdowns. “Our game plan coming in was to throw the ball,” Aubry said. “We knew our outside receivers could get open and make the plays. Omari had a big game for us tonight, coming up with some crucial catches when we needed them. “Tonight is a special night, knowing we are now in the playoffs. I’ve known most of guys on this team for a long time, and we knew we could do some damage this year if we all came together. It’s not over; we don’t want to put away our home jerseys – now we want to host a playoff game.”

38 FOOTBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 35, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 0

Plainfield North makes history against South By DENNIS NELSON Shaw Media Correspondent

PLAINFIELD – Plainfield North accomplished a pair of historic milestones in a 35-0 Southwest Prairie Conference win over Plainfield South during its homecoming game Friday night. For the first time in program history, the Tigers posted back-to-back shutouts, and it clinched a playoff berth for a record third straight season. Plainfield North improved to 5-2 overall and 5-2 in the SPC. Plainfield South fell to 4-3 (4-3). The Cougars had won the last three meetings. “It’s always good to get that fifth win,” North coach Tim Kane said. “Being 5-2 is a lot nicer than being 4-3 at this time. That’s a rival. We lost our last three games against them, and all of them were close.” “That’s huge,” Tigers defensive back Kevin Block said of qualifying for

the playoffs. “Plainfield North has never won a playoff game, and we want to change that this year.” Meanwhile, Plainfield South, which had won two straight, now must beat SPC leader Oswego this week at home or win in Week 9 at rival Minooka in order to claim a playoff berth. The Tigers burned the Cougars through the air in the first half and on the ground over the final two quarters. “We threw it a lot more than we wanted to in the first half, but that opened up our running game in the second half,” Kane said.

“Our offense was clicking on all cylinders,” North quarterback Brady Miller said. “We threw a ton in the first half, and that helped our running game in the second half.” Miller completed 22 of 33 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns. Tyler Hoosman rushed for 150 yards and a pair of scores for the Tigers, who totaled 468 yards of offense. The North defense allowed a mere 31 yards of offense. “I’m so proud of our defense posting a shutout for the second week in a row,” Kane said. “We held them in check most of the night.” “Our defense is a game-changer,” Block said. “When we get a stop on defense, our offense gets a lot of energy and usually scores.” North scored on its first two drives to establish command. T.J. Kane caught a 25-yard touchdown pass, and Hoosman punched it in from 2 yards out to give the Tigers a 14-0 lead after

a quarter. “It was great to score on our first drive, and our defense came up with stop after stop after stop,” Miller said. Hoosman ran 2 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Connor Peplow caught a 14-yard touchdown, and Kane hauled in his second touchdown of the game from 3 yards out in the fourth quarter. “We definitely set the tone in the beginning of the game,” Kane said. “We definitely had a good start to the game, and our defense played pretty well overall.” Block’s interception late in the fourth quarter sealed the shutout. “I saw (Plainfield South quarterback Nick Deppe) look my way, knew the ball was coming and came down with it,” Block said. Miller completed passes to five receivers. Peplow caught 10 passes for 99 yards, and Kane had 77 yards on five receptions.

FOOTBALL: FENWICK 35, PROVIDENCE 28

Providence drops a heartbreaker to Fenwick By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent RIVER GROVE – Only 1.4 seconds remained on the clock at Triton College. In a Chicago Catholic League crossover matchup between Providence and Fenwick, the host Friars held a 35-28 lead. All that remained for the Celtics was an attempted 49-yard Hail Mary pass from quarterback Jared Drake, hopefully to someone in a Celtics uniform. Drake’s pass fell short of the end zone and harmlessly to the ground to end the game. With another heartbreaking loss, the Celtics fell to 3-4. With a Saturday date at defending Class 8A state champion Loyola (7-0), the Celtics will be facing a monumental task to prevent a playoff-eliminating fifth loss. Fenwick (6-1) came in ranked No. 3 in Class 7A. In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the Friars grabbed a 10-0 lead. Conor Hendzel kicked a 31-yard field goal, and running back Connor Lillig raced 65 yards for six points. With 11:01 left in the half, Providence’s Richie Warfield grabbed a swing pass from Drake (18 completions, 32 attempts, 247 yards, three touchdowns) and raced 67 yards for a touchdown. Dylan Davalos recovered a Friar fumble at the Fenwick 45. On the second play after the recovery, Drake connected with Caden Kalinowski from 40 yards out, and with Eduardo Favella’s conversion, the Celtics led, 14-10. Lillig raced 22 yards for his second touchdown to give the Friars a short-lived 17-14 lead. Celtic Gaosh Williams caught the ensuing kickoff at his 4-yard

line. Ninety-six yards and 11 seconds later, the Celtics regained the lead, 21-17, on Williams’ 96-yard return. Hendzel brought the Friars within 21-20 on a 21yard field goal with 57 seconds left in the half. With 0:14 on the clock, the Drake-Warfield connection succeeded again for the Celtics, this time from 52 yards out, for a 28-20 halftime lead. After allowing the Celtics 276 yards of offense in the first half, the Friars’ defense stepped up in the second half. The Celtics were shut out and mustered only 44 yards of offense in the second half. Lillig, who rushed for 130 yards on 22 carries, scored his third touchdown to pull the Friars within 28-26 with 7:23 left in the third quarter. Friars quarterback Jake Kellar (13 completions, 27 attempts, 278 yards, eight rushes, 65 yards, touchdown) hit tight end Jack Henieg (two catches, 17 yards) for the game-tying two-point conversion.

Four minutes later, Keller raced 22 yards for the eventual game-winning touchdown. After Hendzel missed a 38-yard field goal with three minutes to go, the Celtics had one last shot from their 20. Drake connected with Lucas Weaver (four catches, 20 yards) and Dakota Kotowski (two catches, 12 yards), and with hard running from Warfield, they reached the Friar 29. Successive sacks of Drake ended with the Celtics at the Friars 49 after the last Celtics timeout with 0:01.4 left. “Once again, we just didn’t make enough plays to win this game,” Drake said. “We were executing well in the first half, and the offensive line was outstanding. In the second half, Fenwick put a lot more pressure on, but we still should have made the plays. We have to have a great week of practice and come back next week and hope to beat a great Loyola team.” Warfield caught five passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns, all in the first half, and rushed for 33 yards on eight carries. “Once again, as we have done all season, we didn’t handle adversity well enough to win this game,” Warfield said. “Fenwick put a lot of pressure on us in the second half, but we just didn’t respond. We have a huge task ahead of us if we are to make the playoffs.” “The kids, as they have all season, played their hearts out,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said. “Another heartbreaking loss for us, but once again, we did a lot of good things tonight. Our offense was outstanding in the first half. Fenwick brought a lot more pressure on Jared [Drake] in the second half, and we were not able to execute like we did in the first half.”

FOOTBALL: MORRIS 34, KANELAND 3

Dan Voitik for Shaw Media

Morris’ Keagan Sobol breaks into the clear for one of his three touchdowns in a 34-3 win Friday over Kaneland. Sobol finished with 115 yards on 14 carries. 167 yards on 19 carries, while Sobol had 115 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries. Quarterback Ricky Del Favero also topped 100 yards, getting 101 on nine attempts, including a 45yard touchdown, while Michael Gerischer had 52 yards on seven carries. “I challenged some of the guys before the game,” Thorson said. “Specifically, the three captains [Feeney, Sobol and Gerischer] and the offensive line. I

told them that this is the time that we really needed them to step up, and they did a great job.” In the first quarter, Kaneland’s defense kept things close. Drew Hahn recovered a fumble at the Morris 33, and the Knights reached the 9 before Andreas Matarangas kicked a 26-yard field goal to make it 7-3. On the next drive, Kaneland’s Luke Calabrese intercepted Del Favero at

FOOTBALL: OSWEGO 63, JOLIET CENTRAL 14

McNair returns kickoff 99 yards in Joliet Central loss By LAURA MEDINA

Joliet Central’s Jomarre McNair runs the opening kickoff for a touchdown Friday against Oswego at Oswego.

Shaw Media Correspondent

OSWEGO – Joliet Central cracked the scoreboard for the first time in three weeks, but its two touchdowns were not enough to take down Southwest Prairie Conference-leading Oswego, which recorded a 63-14 victory Friday night. After shutout losses in consecutive weeks to Plainfield South and Plainfield North, Joliet Central needed an answer for its offensive shortcomings. Within the first 17 seconds, senior Jomarre McNair returned the opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, the Steelmen’s first score since its 38-35 win over Plainfield Central on Sept. 17 that snapped a 57-game skid. “The score is what it is, and it was lopsided,” Steelmen coach Brett Boyter said. “We have to do a better job stopping the run and, offensively, a better job of sustaining drives. You are what you are, and you are what your record

Steven Buyansky for Shaw Media

is. We just have to get back to work, and I think we’ll be OK.” Central (1-6, 1-6) wouldn’t find the end zone again until senior Allen Smith’s 38-yard dash with 4:08 remaining. Instead, it was Oswego (7-0, 7-0) that scored early and often, notching

seven scores in the first half, six on the ground. Leading the rushing attack was running back Drew White, who racked up 150 yards on 16 carries and four touchdowns in the first half alone. White, Nick Marra (nine carries, 62 yards,

touchdown) and seven others totaled 329 rushing yards. Oswego, which has boasted an impressive defense all season, kept Central off balance in the air and on the ground. Quarterbacks Zach Wisneski (first half) and Zach Schraer (second) combined for 11 completions in 24 attempts and 72 yards, while the run game totaled 11 carries for 43 yards. Looking to put that game behind, Central looks ahead to this week’s matinee against visiting city rival Joliet West. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Saturday. “These are the weeks when you play your rival, and you spend a little more time on film study,” Boyter said. “There’s a little bit more intensity in our focus during practice, and I expect next Saturday to be a really good game between two well-prepared teams that goes down to the wire like it normally does. We’re going to put [Friday night’s] game behind us after film tomorrow and focus on playing Joliet West.”

MAPLE PARK – The Morris football team was on a mission. In both of its losses so far this season, Morris had gotten off to a slow start on the road. Before Friday night’s Northern Illinois Big XII East game against Kaneland, Morris coach Alan Thorson challenged his team to not do it again. Whatever he said worked. Morris (5-2, 2-1) began the game by holding Kaneland to a three-and-out, sparked by a 10-yard sack by Sean Grogan. Then, fullback Keagan Sobol broke free for a 51-yard touchdown run on Morris’ first play from scrimmage, providing the opening shot in a 34-3 victory that the Redskins dominated from start to finish. After missing out on the playoffs last season, Morris became playoff-eligible with its fifth victory of the season. “We knew we had to get out of the gates quick,” Sobol said. “Kaneland can put up points, so we knew we had to keep up with them. Our first two road games, we didn’t start off very well, but you could tell – even on the bus ride up here – that this game was going to be different.” Morris kept running all night, finishing with more than 450 rushing yards. Michael Feeney led the way with

the Knights’ 41, but they couldn’t score. Kaneland (3-4, 1-3) punted, and Morris embarked on an 80-yard drive, highlighted by a 40-yard burst by Del Favero that ended with Sobol in the end zone from two yards out and a 14-3 lead with 8:54 to go until halftime. Morris linebacker Merrick Hairapetian then recovered a Kaneland fumble at the Knights’ 46; and Sobol scored for the third time, this one from eight yards, to make it 21-3. Morris got the ball to start the second half and scored quickly, as Del Favero burst through the middle of the Kaneland defense for a 45-yard TD. Kaneland was able to get a 38-yard pass play from Jack Douglas to Alex Moses late in the third quarter that helped them reach the Morris 19, but Redskins defensive back Delaney Stutzki intercepted Douglas on the final play of the third quarter. Morris then salted the game away with an 11-play, 56-yard drive to make it 34-3 as Gerischer scored from a yard out. Stutzki added another interception on the Knights’ ensuing drive. “Kaneland is a good program and very well-coached,” Thorson said. “This is probably the best game we have played, start to finish, all season.

40 FOOTBALL: OSWEGO EAST 42, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 0

Oswego East overwhelms Plainfield Central By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@shawmedia.com

OSWEGO – Oswego East’s offense can light up the scoreboard, but when the Wolves’ defense and special teams provide additional scoring opportunities, the opposing team is in trouble. Visiting Plainfield Central (0-7) learned that lesson the hard way in Friday’s 42-0 shutout loss. East (6-1) scored on the opening drive, led 20-0 on a punt return to the end zone, and took a fumble recovery across the goal line for a 28-point lead at halftime. “Our defense did a great job, but all the credit to Oswego East; they have a great coaching staff and a great group

of kids, and they have a lot of talent,” Central coach Jon Pereiro said. “Ivory Kelly-Martin is an unbelievable football player. Our defense was able to step up and do our best to contain him, but it’s hard to that. Plus, it’s not just him. They have other weapons. Offensively, we have to get better, but I’m very proud of our defense.” Kelly-Martin took in the first East touchdown from the 7-yard line with 9:17 on the clock, and the Wolves’ offense didn’t have long to regroup on the sidelines before Tyran Bailey intercepted Central quarterback Marcus Hayes on the Wildcats’ third play from scrimmage. East’s Kijana Caldwell returned a Central punt 47 yards for a 20-0 East

lead. East’s Garrett Fiduccia added in a fumble recovery for a touchdown with 6:49 to play in the second quarter, and Jaylon Banks hit another touchdown pass before halftime for a 35-0 lead. East’s final score came with 2:45 to play in the third when Kelly-Martin drew the snap and threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Stephon Harris for a 41-0 lead and a running clock. Central’s Lovell Houston Jr. was a bright spot in the Wildcats’ offense. After he started with five carries for minus-15 yards, he had an 11-yard run in Central’s best drive of the game in the second half. However, his run on fourth-and-12 from the East 25 came up short of a first down. “Lovell always plays with a lot of

heart, and you can see him scrapping out there for every yard he gets,” Pereiro said. “We need to continue to work to back him up with our offensive line play. Lovell always gives us everything he’s got out there. We’re going to look to reform around him and let him utilize his leadership skills to where we need to be next week.” Central returns home to face Romeoville (2-5), which has won two straight. “We’re going to continue to focus on what we’re doing,” Pereiro said. “We like the fact that we’re going to be playing our senior night at home against Romeoville. They have a great group over there, and we just have to keep working.”

FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Wilmington tops Hailey runs for 199 in Joliet Catholic Academy loss to Benet Reed-Custer; Coal City snaps skid By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media Correspondent

LISLE – Joliet Catholic Academy sophomore running back Keenan Hailey carried the football 40 times for 199 yards, but Benet defeated the Hilltoppers, 38-21, Friday in an East Suburban Catholic Conference game. Hailey helped JCA (0-7, 0-5) tie the Redwings (6-1, 5-0) at 7-all with 29 seconds left in the first quarter when he carried nine times during a 19-play, 94-yard scoring drive that quarterback Patrick Roth finished with a 1-yard-scoring run. The drive consumed 7 minutes 30 seconds. “It reminded me of 1975 and 1976 when we had Rick Thayer and some of those guys,” Hilltoppers coach Dan Sharp said. “Our backs gave us hard yards during that drive. Our line was blocking hard, and Pat did a great job.” Benet’s offense scored 14 straight points to take a 21-7 lead. Joliet Catholic had the ball at its 45-yard line with 28 seconds to play in the second quarter, but Roth threw an interception to Benet senior cornerback Erik Jones, who returned it 75 yards for a touchdown to put the Redwings ahead, 28-7, at halftime. Roth ran it in from the 2-yard line to cut the Benet lead to 28-14 with 2:27 to play in the third quarter. Junior quarterback Aidan Tyrell played the fourth quarter, and he scored on a 13-yard run to cut Benet’s lead to 31-21 with 3:26 to play. The Hilltoppers had the ball with 2:11 re-

maining, but Tyrell was hit in the backfield and fumbled. Benet linebacker Ryan Liszka recovered the fumble and ran it in from the 28 for a touchdown. The injuries continued to pile up for JCA. Center Shane Raber left with a right ankle injury in the first quarter. Linebacker Casey Sheppard also was injured in the first quarter. Running back Rio Strama took a shot to the head from a Benet defender late in the fourth quarter and did not return. Hilltoppers starting running back Ke’von Johnson and starting defensive end Scott Fosen also missed the Benet game because of injuries. “Each week, it seems I’m repeating the same thing,” Sharp said. “We had a rash of injuries. We’re making mistakes that young and inexperienced teams make. I was proud of the way the kids played, especially in the second half. We played hard. “We drove the ball. We just shot ourselves in the foot. The defense improved. We forced three turnovers, but we only took advantage of one of them. We gave up two scores [because of turnovers]. That interception return before the half really hurt us.” JCA plays at Marian Catholic on Friday. It will be the Hilltoppers’ best chance for a win this season. “I’d really like to get a win in that game for the seniors who have really stuck it out, played hard, and given us everything they’ve got,” Sharp said. “I’m hoping we get some guys healed so we’re back close to full strength.”

the ball, and that put me in a position to make a play. We work on that in practice a lot, so when the ball was in the air, I was just able to go up and get it. “This was a big win for us since we wanted to punch our playoff ticket this week. I like our team chemistry. When we came together, we didn’t know each other yet. But we put in a lot of work in the offseason and have just come together as one.” After Alec Robustelli picked off a pass, Central began the eventual winning drive. The big play was a third

and 19 when Campbell’s pass was deflected, but Pollack was able to haul it in for a 57-yard reception. Three plays later, Nico Muto went in from a yard out with 3:37 left. Mike Morgan (9 for 90 rushing) ended the drama with a 46yard run with 1:33 remaining. Following Central’s early strike, Bolingbrook tied it on a 12-yard run by Jazontae Howard (8 for 74 rushing) late in the opening quarter. The Knights moved back in front when Campbell threw a 13-yard pass to Stoklosa with 8:53 left in the second quarter, and

Mike Cepolski made it a 13-point game when he returned a fumble 33 yards with 2:58 left in the half. “Matt’s a special kid, so I know when I throw the ball that he’s going to make a play on it,” Stoklosa said. “Our team always sticks together and keeps fighting, no matter what. It shows that we have something good going here. We’re one team, and we all do our 1/11th. Coach Cordell knows what he’s doing and gets everyone involved, and we’re trying to do big things.” Early in the final half, Izayah Green-May (blocked extra point, fumble recovery) blocked a Knights punt; and one play later, Howard ran in from 24 yards out. After executing a fake punt on its next drive and using a 55yard run by Brandon Walters (9 for 73 rushing, 7 for 63 receiving), the Raiders took a 21-20 lead on a one-yard run by Kendall Smith. After a partially blocked punt, the Raiders used four plays to go up, 2820, as Smith scored on a 4-yard run on the second play of the last quarter. Big defensive efforts were also turned in by Central’s Nick Degregorio and Mark O’Reilly and Bolingbrook’s Dashaun Mallory. “They came back in the second half and took the lead following a couple of freaky, fluke plays, but that’s been the story of our season,” Raiders coach John Ivlow said. “In this conference, everyone is good, so you better bring your ‘A’ game, since little mistakes can sometimes be the difference.”

BOLINGBROOK – After seeing a 20-7 halftime lead turn into a 28-20 deficit early in the fourth quarter of Friday’s SouthWest Suburban Conference football game at Bolingbrook, Lincoln-Way Central appeared to be on the ropes. So how did the Knights respond to the Raiders’ three touchdowns in just under 10 minutes? They answered with three touchdowns in just over eight minutes to close out the contest as they rallied for a 42-28 victory. It was the second fourth-quarter rally on the road by the Knights (5-2, 3-2), who moved closer to their second playoff berth in three years. Central is 3-0 in away games after going 7-20 on the road in the past six years. If they can beat Andrew and Metea Valley in the last two weeks, the program will post its first seven-win regular season since 2005. The Raiders (3-4, 2-3) were hoping to help their own playoff cause with a victory. Now, Bolingbrook must beat Thornwood next week and win at unbeaten Homewood-Flossmoor in Week 9 in order to advance to the postseason for the 25th straight year. “Our kids played a real nice first half, but in the third quarter, Bolingbrook dug in and gave us a fight,” Knights coach Jeremy Cordell said. “But credit our kids in the fourth quarter. In order to do what we want to do in November, you have to win these games and be resilient late. They threw a heck of a counter punch, but I was proud of our kids since they responded.” To swing the momentum back in their direction, the Knights relied on the same gadget play that they used to score a touchdown on the game’s opening play, and it worked again. On a fourth and 10 at the Raider 35, quarterback Hunter Campbell (8 of 14, 89 yards) tossed a lateral to receiver Zack Stoklosa (2 for 2, 114 yards), who then threw a ball into the end zone that was pulled in by Matt Pollack (8 for 192 receiving, 12 for 76 rushing). Pollack also made a great catch on the twopoint try from Campbell to tie the score at 28 with 8:04 left. Just 18 seconds into the contest, Central grabbed a 7-0 lead when Stoklosa threw a pass to a wide-open Pollack, who covered most of the 79 yards after the catch. “I have to give credit to Hunter and to Zack, who threw me two touchdown passes,” Pollack said. “Our offensive line bought us time for those guys to throw the ball. Zack was able to get me

42 COLLEGE FOOTBALL: UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS 35, ST. AMBROSE 14

Saints use complete effort to top St. Ambrose By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – After dropping twostraight three-point defeats at home to fall to 1-4 on the season, the University of St. Francis football team needed to turn the page by putting together a more complete performance when it hosted St. Ambrose University on Saturday. And that’s what coach Joe Curry’s Fighting Saints did against the Bees. After allowing a score on the second play, USF collected the next three touchdowns and was basically in control the rest of the way as it captured a 35-14 Mid-States Football Association Midwest League win at Memorial Stadium. St. Ambrose (2-3, 1-1) had won two in a row and scored 110 points in its last three games, but it only managed a touchdown in the final quarter after taking the early lead. The Saints (2-4, 1-2) had a 265-141 advantage in rushing yards and a 519-353 edge in total yards. “I couldn’t be happier for our guys and our program in general,” Curry said. “It’s tough to go through what we did over the past couple of weeks.

I kept telling the guys that they had to keep believing and fighting, and we’d learn something, and this was going to turn at some point. Our guys have worked too darned hard to have what’s happened to them this year. “I thought the biggest thing was that we controlled the line of scrimmage. We found some things on offense that we were able to do real simply; and on defense, after the first drive, we made a nice adjustment and pretty much held them intact all day. The defense has been struggling of late, but they hunkered down, did a great job and gave us a chance to win.” The Bees took a 6-0 lead just 49 seconds into the game when Patrick Smith (10 of 15, 212 passing yards) tossed a ball over the middle to Chase Ferger, who zig-zagged down the field after the catch over the middle on what wound up being a 75-yard scoring pass. But less than six minutes later, USF moved in front at 7-6 after Don Butkus (22 of 27, 254 passing yards) threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Adam Morrison (3 for 76 receiving). And then with 1:18 left in the first quarter, Butkus (12 for 54 rushing) ran in from 4

yards out to make it 14-6, which is how the score remained at halftime. The Saints took a 21-6 lead with 12:12 left in the third quarter after Butkus sneaked in from a yard out. But in the final period, St. Ambrose pulled to within 21-14 with 13:47 left on a 1-yard plunge by Joey Zito (27 for 107 rushing). However, USF responded with a 5-yard scoring run from Lexus Jackson with 8:14 remaining and a 13-yard touchdown run from Michael Johnson (16 for 114 rushing) with 3:11 left. “I told my line that I was going to put my head down and be right behind them,” Johnson said. “The whole game, I just followed them, and everything that I couldn’t get, I had to lower my shoulder and get it. We had a great week of practice, and we were executing well. Everything was in line for us to win this game. Each week, we were working on things piece by piece, but we just executed it all well today.” Jordan Smith (14 for 87 rushing), Brandon Ruffin (4 for 79 receiving) and Zach Moreno (4 for 56 receiving) were other beneficiaries of a strong performance from USF’s offensive line.

“It felt great to put a game on the O-line’s shoulders,” left guard Ross Stremme said. “We responded really well, and I expect more to come. We played really well today, on both defense and offense. Our team’s morale is big right now, and it feels good to get this win.” While Mitch Negangard (18 tackles, interception) had a huge defensive game for the Bees, the Saints received good performances from several players. Josh Woodard (nine tackles), Omar Aqel (seven tackles), Kyle Kurdziolek (six tackles), Marshall Oxentine (five tackles) and Kevin Walsh (five tackles, interception) were among the leaders. “We had some guys out and we’re thin on defense, but we have the nextman-up mentality,” Aqel said. “Everybody’s got to be ready when their time comes and they have to go out and perform, and that’s what we did tonight. We always knew that we had this type of team, but we were just going through some adversity. We’ll try to ride this through the end of the season. We’re all working hard, and no one’s giving up, and that’s the big thing.”

FOOTBALL: LEMONT 30, T.F. SOUTH 28

Fleming catches 9, boots 3 in Lemont victory By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media correspondent LEMONT – It’s not every high school football game that a player kicks three field goals. It’s not every high school football game that a Steven Fleming plays in. Except at Lemont, which is fortunate to have the talented senior. Friday night, aside from nine receptions for 147 yards, he also booted three field goals – including the game-winner, a 24-yarder with 3:43 remaining – in the undefeated Indians’ 30-28 victory over South Suburban Blue rival T.F. South. The come-from-behind outcome moved Lemont to 7-0, 4-0 in the league, while T.F. South – needing the victory to keep its conference hopes vibrant – fell to 5-2, 3-1. The pressure was on the Indians after South, behind Johnt’e Crawford’s second rushing touchdown of the night, took a 28-27 lead 41 seconds into the final quarter. Then the Indians, after one drive stalled, took over

thanks to the third South turnover of the game with 6:51 to play. How much pressure did quarterback Spencer Nagel feel? “I thought I needed to step up there,” said Nagel (19 of 31, 302 yards). “I wasn’t having a hot start to the second half. My line gave me all the time in the world, and I just needed to put it where my receivers were.” He did, including hitting Fleming twice – once for 22 yards on a thirdand-4 situation, on the winning drive. “It was fun,” Nagel said. “I love stepping up.” There was also pressure on Fleming, who had made two field goals – and missed one – earlier in the game. “I just can’t really think about it too much,” Fleming said. “Sometimes, I overthink it and will make a mistake. Most of the game, I wasn’t really thinking too much.” A blank mind at the critical moment made for success this time. “I got it done!” Fleming said. “These situations are fun, but facing great teams is fun, too. And thanks to

“I just can’t really think about it too much. Sometimes, I overthink it and will make a mistake. Most of the game, I wasn’t really thinking too much.” Steven Fleming Lemont receiver/kicker our defense, too.” It allowed South quarterback Reis Padjen to throw for 292 yards on a 15of-32 night. But he also was picked off twice in the second half, and his first-quarter fumble deep in South territory led to a 10-0 Lemont lead. “He’s great,” Nagel said of Fleming. “He catches almost everything I put there. It’s amazing to have him out there.” Jordan Brown’s fumble recovery and 18-yard run after Frankie Montalto rattled Padjen’s cage led to the first

Lemont touchdown. After Padjen hit Bron Hill on an 80yard touchdown pass, the Indians answered with Anthony Martin’s 1-yard plunge. Crawford’s first score trimmed Lemont’s lead to 17-14, but Nagel’s 39-yard pass to Matthew Slee, whose caught it one-handed, brought the Indians a 24-14 halftime lead. Padjen’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crawford cut the gap to three points, and after Fleming’s second field goal, a 28-yarder, Johnt’e Crawford’s 34-yard gambol and Mike Vasquez’s conversion kick moved South ahead, 28-27. Soon after, Nagel, Fleming and the others stepped up. And the pressure from now on? No big deal, the winning quarterback said. “This game put us over the top, I think,” Nagel said. Tinley Park will seek to test that theory this week. Lemont’s sophomores scored a 14-6 victory.

Joliet Township’s Eileen Carney returns a serve Saturday against Plainfield North’s Gabrielle Ochalik in first singles during the Southwest Prairie Conference girls tennis meet. Carney won 6-4,6-4. vored to meet her again in the sectional final. “She is mentally strong. I always expect a challenging match with her.” There may have been a lesson in there. “It’s time for me to grow up and be more confident in myself so I can play just as well as her,” Ochalik decided. Carney, who is 19-0 overall, said she “took it one point at a time” when she fell behind, 4-1, in the second set. “I was just counting down the points – seven more to get back to 3-4 and be back in it, six more, five more,” she said. “I was trying to remain calm and take deep breaths.

“I am happy with how I am playing right now, but Gabby reminded me that I have to play better. The last time we played, it went three sets and neither of us was playing that well. Today she brought he ‘A’ game, so I had to bring mine. I have never seen her play that well like she was today.” Joliet coach Kit Gillman said strategic moves on Carney’s part helped sway each set in her favor. “She did it all,” he said. “We changed strategy both times when we got behind. Gabby did not adjust to the change right away. Then she got used to it and got ahead in the second set, and we had to

change again. “Both girls have good strokes, that’s obvious. It becomes a matter of what strategy will work.” In other singles finals, Plainfield North’s Shreya Sharma beat Plainfield South’s Jessica Vladimiro, 6-3, 6-2, at second singles; and North’s Stephanie Kucera topped Minooka’s Kacie Moore, 7-5, 6-0, at third singles. North’s Meg Chadick-Sarah Trusk beat Oswego East’s Eden Short-Mary Weber, 6-3, 6-1, for the first doubles title. “It was intense, but we played real well,” Chadick said. “We’re ready for the sectional.” North’s Ally Radwan and Caroline Macias were second at second doubles, falling to East’s Annie Carmody-Keertana Kota, 7-5, 6-2. The Wolves’ third doubles of Angel Javier-Ravina Shah scored a 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-2) win over Minooka’s Madison Wittkowfski-Ireland Binkowski. North’s Allie Zabek-Sheri Aclibon won fourth doubles over East’s Payton Dude-Mackenzie Knudson, 3-6, 7-5, 6-1. “Our girls were amazing in the tournament,” Dodge said. “They stepped it up. It was a very successful day. The girls even surpassed their seeds going into the tournament.”

PLAINFIELD – Coach Caitlin Dodge and her Plainfield North tennis team were thrilled to have six finalists and four division champions in Saturday’s Southwest Prairie Conference meet, hosted by Plainfield Central and held at Plainfield East. However, despite dropping a 6-4, 6-4 decision to Joliet Township junior Eileen Carney for the first singles title, North junior Gabby Ochalik may benefit from the experience as much as anyone. North led in tournament points, but SPC titles are determined by a combination of points from dual meets and in the tournament. Oswego East, the leader coming in, won with 75 to North’s 72. Minooka finished third with 54 and likely would have been closer to the top if not for losing its first doubles (juniors Grace Thelo and Gabby Hajduk) and first singles (junior Brittani Collins) to forfeits in the semifinals. Hajduk is of concern for next weekend’s Plainfield South Sectional because of an Achilles injury. The rest of the team standings were Oswego 32, Plainfield East 30, Joliet 27, Plainfield South 26, Plainfield Central 21 and Romeoville 20. In the featured attraction, the first singles final, Ochalik led the first set, 3-0, and the second, 4-1. However, Carney, whom Ochalik described as “very cool, like a cucumber,” won six of the last seven games in the first set and the last five in second. “I have to give her credit,” said Ochalik, who lost to Carney in three sets during the season and will be fa-

44 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: ST. CHARLES EAST TOURNAMENT

Minooka shows it can battle the big dogs By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com AURORA – Minooka’s girls volleyball team had a wake-up call Thursday when the Indians fell to Plainfield Central. They realized that they could not afford multiple unforced errors against talented teams. At Saturday’s St. Charles East Tournament, Minooka received a second call. This time, the Indians found they have the talent to compete with the top dogs. Minooka finished third, beating Hinsdale South, Naperville Central, Lincoln-Way East and St. Charles East. The Indians fell only to Geneva, the No. 2 team in the country, 25-21, 26-28, 25-17, in the semifinals. “This just showed we could play this level of volleyball,” Minooka coach Carrie Prosek said. “It was exciting. I am so proud of the girls, because now they know they can beat these teams. We know that they are right there. It’s just limiting the unforced errors.” After the loss to their Southwest Prairie rivals, the Indians (17-4, 9-1) stepped up their games. They especially shined against Geneva, which later

lost to Benet in the championship. Rocky Perinar led Minooka with 14 kills, no errors and 15 digs. Alli Papesh added 14 kills and nine digs, and Holly Bonde had six kills and nine digs. Taylor Baranski pitched in 15 digs, while Brooklyn Bachmann totaled 37 assists. Throughout the tournament, Minooka was led by junior outside hitters Papesh and Perinar, junior libero Baranski and senior setter Bachmann. Baranski anchored the defense with 88 digs, and Papesh tallied 67 kills, 51 digs and seven aces to earn all-tournament honors. Bachmann dished out 131 assists, and Perinar added 43 kills, 52 digs and 10 aces. Last season, Prosek’s main concerns were passing and defense. With her performance thus far this season, Baranski is proving the answer to her coach’s prayers. She helped keep her team in system for a majority of the tournament. “I think Taylor’s defense saved us against Geneva,” Prosek said. “It actually saved us all weekend. She really picked it up in reading their players and her serve receive. She had a few flaws here and there; but for the most part, she kept us alive. “Allie and Rocky did well. Rocky

stepped up. She’s finally getting used to the different types of sets and making adjustments. Overall, I think everyone did well. Holly did good on the right side. Brooklyn did a great job with the passes that we have, and she keeps the team together as a person. She’s their leader.” Also at the tournament, Lincoln-Way East took eighth, Plainfield Central sixth in silver and Plainfield North sixth in bronze. Minooka, Lincoln-Way East and Plainfield Central are the top three seeded in the Class 4A Romeoville Regional and could meet each other in the postseason. Despite missing its top middle, Haley Hart, East (20-6) took Minooka to three games. In the first game, everything moved smoothly. Mel Weller was playing strong defensively, allowing Hanna Lesiak and Molly Hackett to earn their kills. In Game 2, however, East allowed a string of points. After losing the match, 23-25, 25- 22, 25-14, the Griffins could not get back in the swing. “Last night [Friday], I thought we played really well. We beat Naperville North, a very solid program, in two,” East coach Kris Fiore said. “We were doing the little things the right way.

We were consistent. We weren’t letting up big runs. “Today, the first Minooka game was a great match. We won 25-23, and after that, we let up big runs – five-, sixpoint swings – and you cannot do that against a team like this. That was the story for the rest of the day. It came down to us giving up big runs.” Weller (62 digs), Lesiak (35 kills), Hackett (22 kills, 32 assists) and Madeline Morrow (50 assists, seven aces) put up strong numbers. Ashley Shook (26 kills, 104 assists, 32 digs), Taylor Landfair (52 kills, 40 digs) and Katie Shook (68 digs) played well for Plainfield Central (17-10, 8-0), which beat Addison Trail and Normal West. Central is optimistic that playing in the tournament will be a benefit in the postseason. “The Mizuno Cup is a very strong tournament,” Wildcats coach Erik Vogt said. “It helps to see strong competition the entire way through, and we saw different things that we need to work on. You don’t always get to see those things when you play within your conference. I think it really challenged our girls and gave us a good mindset going into regionals.”

COLLEGE CROSS COUNTRY

Lewis, USF runners get valuable experience in meet By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media Correspondent ROMEOVILLE – Lewis University hosted the Conference Crossover Cross Country Invitational on a beautiful fall Saturday morning. The meet featured three nationally ranked men’s teams and six women’s teams in the latest NCAA Division II and NAIA national rankings. On the men’s side, Grand Valley State, the No. 2-ranked Division II team, used a 1-2 individual finish to capture the title with 21 points. Southern Indiana, ranked 10th, placed second with 80. Lewis was third with 119, Northwest Missouri State was fourth (137), and St. Francis – ranked second in NAIA – was fifth (147) in the 14team field. For Lewis, junior Michael Leet finished fourth overall in 24:44 over the 8,000-meter course. The Flyers’ other scorers were James Frederickson 18th (25:14), Xavier Reed 25th (25:30), Shawn Milhauser 31st (25:43) and James Helton 41st (25:59).

“These were perfect conditions for the race,” Leet said. “We pretty much stayed together as a group for the first 6,000 meters and it really came down to a race the last 2,000 meters. Today was a step in the right direction for our team. We still have work to do, but now we can really get ready for the conference meet and the opportunity to qualify for nationals.” Lewis coach James Kearney echoed those statements on his men’s team. “I’m very pleased with how we ran today,” Kearney said. “This is a huge step in our progression from where we were. This is the first time since I have been here that we had our top five under 26 minutes in a race. We are in a good spot moving forward and we just have to continue to improve. We have as good a shot as anyone to win the conference, then qualify for the national meet.” St. Francis was led by the 11th place of junior Cam Knudsen (Minooka) in 25:01. Brian Baylock was 20th (25:19), with Joey Santillo (Minooka)

27th (25:35). Jake Fitzgerald (Plainfield South) 36th (25:54) and John Principato (Plainfield Central) 53rd (26:18) rounded out the Saints’ top five. “I’m very happy with the race today,” Knudsen said. “The competition was really good, and the race set up just like the national meet will be. I was conservative at the beginning and then slowly moved up during the race.” Saints coach Jeff Barker opted to run in the race this year for the stiff competition. “This is what we came here for, it was such a great, competitive meet,” Barker said. “Cam ran well, he just knows how to race and Joey [Santillo] ran really well. We just have to get better at the four and five spots. We still have five weeks, which is a long time, and we have the capabilities to be there with anyone at the end of the season.” For the women, No. 2-ranked Grand Valley State won with 44 points, followed by No. 6 Minnesota-Duluth (65), No. 8 Southern Indiana (67) and No. 11

Northern Michigan. Lewis was fifth (154) and St. Francis ninth (243) in the 13-team field. Lewis was led by the 21st-place finish of Abby Tripp in 22:38 and Mollie Dalton in 24th (22:46). St. Francis had Ashlee Knott place 38th (23:16) and Gracie Ball 46th (23:27) in the loaded field. “The women ran all right,” Kearney said. “If we can continue to progress, especially our top three runners, we have a shot at a national qualifying spot. We must stay within ourselves and know our capabilities.” The Saints, ranked 22nd in the latest NAIA women’s poll, got some needed experience and ran a distance they normally don’t race. “This was our first 6K of the year,” Barker said. “The experience and running 6 ,000 meters today will really help. The field was so good and our kids will learn from this. Again, we still have time and our racing will continue to improve, especially when we run 5,000 meters for our championships.”

2 Cubs lead series, 2-0

Wood homers as Cubs top Giants again By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

• Sunday, October 9, 2016

CHICAGO – Travis Wood took over when starter Kyle Hendricks got hurt and became the first relief pitcher since 1924 to hit a postseason home run, helping the Cubs beat the San Francisco Giants, 5-2, Saturday night for 2-0 NL Division Series lead. Ben Zobrist put the Cubs ahead in the first with a run-scoring single off former Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija, and Hendricks hit a two-run single in a three-run second. Hendricks left with a 4-2 lead in the fourth when he was hit on the right forearm by Angel Pagan’s line drive. Wood struck out Conor Gillaspie to strand Pagan, then sent a one-out offering from George Kontos halfway up the left-field bleachers in the bottom half. The only other reliever to homer in the postseason was the New York Giants’ Rosy Ryan in Game 3 of the 1924 World Series. Given a curtain call by a screaming crowd of 42,392, Wood joined Rick Sutcliffe (1984) and Kerry Wood (2003) as the only Cubs pitchers to go deep in the postseason. Travis Wood has hit nine regular-season homers in his big league career. Wood pitched a hitless fifth and was credited with the win. Four more relievers completed The Cubs’ second straight six-hitter, with Aroldis Chapman throwing 12 of 16 pitches at 100 mph and up for his second consecutive save. Madison Bumgarner, coming off a four-hit shutout of the New York Mets in the NL wild card game, tries to save the Giants’ season when the series resumes Monday in San Francisco. The Cubs, who start reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta, are one win from advancing to an NL Championship Series matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers or Washington Nationals. Samardzija’s first career playoff start was a short one. The righthander, who spent his first 6½ seasons with the Cubs, was pinch hit for in the third after allowing four runs and six hits. Hendricks, the major league ERA leader, gave up two runs and four hits in 32⁄3 innings. Down, 4-0, San Francisco closed in the third when Gregor Blanco doubled in a run and scored on Brandon Belt’s

SEEN

Actor and comedian Bill Murray was back cheering on the Cubs for the second night in a row. He was wearing a jacket when he was shown on the videoboard before the second inning, so it was not clear if he was wearing an “I Ain’t Afraid of No Goat” shirt as he did on Friday. Former Cubs closer Lee Smith threw out the first pitch, and Chicago native and former WWE star CM Punk delivered the “Play Ball!” call before the game. Actor Jeff Garlin sang “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” during the seventh-inning stretch.

UP NEXT

Giants: Bumgarner has pitched 23 consecutive postseason innings and is 8-3 with a 1.94 ERA in 13 postseason starts and 15 appearances. Cubs: Arrieta won 18 games but had a 4.60 ERA in five starts last month. He gave up seven runs in a loss to Pittsburgh on Sept. 28.

Dodgers-Nats rained out in Game 2 of NLDS; will play Sunday WASHINGTON – Persistent rain led Major League Baseball to postpone Game 2 of the NL Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals to Sunday afternoon. The teams were scheduled for a 4:08 p.m. first pitch Saturday. But rain that intensified as Hurricane Matthew moved up the coast and a forecast of “100 percent certainty” for precipitation until at least 8 p.m. forced the decision, Commissioner Rob Manfred said. LA leads the best-of-five series 1-0 after a 4-3 victory Friday night. Manfred said he expected the weather to be better for a 12:08 p.m. start Sunday at Nationals Park. It’s supposed to be 61 degrees and windy. “By 1 o’clock we hopefully will be in a sunny period,” he said. Left-hander Rich Hill (12-5, 2.12 ERA) will start Game 2 for the Dodgers

against right-hander Wilmington, Ill., grad Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83). Manfred said the rest of the series will proceed as scheduled with Game 3 Monday afternoon at Dodger Stadium – the rain wiped out the travel day to the West Coast. Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy said players came in prepared to play but was glad the decision was made quickly. “Hats off to Major League Baseball for canceling this early,” Murphy said. “I’m sure they didn’t want either pitcher to get out there and get caught in a situation where you lose one of them, especially in a short series like this.” The postponement means the teams will have to play and fly Sunday. “We do East-West travel like this during the regular season,” Manfred said. “It’s not ideal but doable.”

46 BIG TEN HIGHLIGHTS

Purdue tops Illinois in OT CHAMPAIGN – Freshman kicker J.D. Dellinger hit a 28-yard field goal in overtime Saturday to lead Purdue to a 34-31 road win over Illinois. Purdue (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) battered Illinois with a run game that piled up 231 yards, and relied on the run and a turnover to get the win in overtime. Illinois took the ball first, but sophomore quarterback Chayce Crouch – coming off the bench for the injured Wes Lunt – fumbled, and Purdue safety Leroy Clark recovered. From there, running back Richie Worship moved the ball 15 yards on three carries to set up Dellinger. The kicker had been 2-5 on field goals this season. Illinois (1-4, 0-2) kicker Chase McLaughlin had a chance to win the game on the final play of regulation, but his 41-yard attempt clanged squarely off the right upright. McLaughlin made three field goals, including one from 47 yards, and had been a perfect 8-8 on the year. “We just kept shooting ourselves in the foot,” a red-eyed Illinois center Joe Spencer said, noting that Illinois had 12 penalties for 125 yards. “What happened happened. Chayce came in, played his heart out. I just told him, ‘Hell of a job,’ because that was a hell of a job. We didn’t win. And that’s football.”

No. 2 Ohio St. struggles, but downs Indiana

COLUMBUS, Ohio – J.T. Barrett ran for 137 yards and a touchdown and passed for another score Saturday and Ohio State beat Indiana, 38-17. Second-ranked Ohio State (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) was forced to rely mostly on its ground game, which accounted for 290 yards, and some tough play by its defense – including a critical fourth-quarter stop on its own 4-yard line following a Barrett inception – to fend off the Hoosiers, who had upset

Michigan State last weekend. Ohio State’s defense held when it had to, also forcing Indiana (3-2, 2-1) to turn the ball over on downs on the Hoosiers’ own 33 with 5:22 left and the Buckeyes leading, 31-17. Five plays later, Barrett hit Dontre Wilson with a 37-yard touchdown pass to put the game out of reach. Safety Malik Hooker sealed the win by picking off Richard Lagow on Indiana’s next series. The Buckeyes held Indiana to just one score in the second half. Barrett was 9-of-23 for 93 yards. He carried the ball a career-high 26 times.

Wadley’s big run nudges Iowa past Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS – Iowa was reeling from a pair of losses to teams the Hawkeyes were favored to beat, pushing that 12-0 regular season from 2015 to the back of the memory bank. They got back on track with a gritty victory over rival Minnesota. Akrum Wadley took off for a 54-yard touchdown run with 5:28 left and the Hawkeyes hung on to beat the Gophers, 14-7, Saturday to hoist the Floyd of Rosedale trophy for the second straight year. “We just kept grinding,” said Wadley, who had 14 carries for 107 yards for Iowa (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who matched the program record with an eighth straight road win despite two interceptions thrown by C.J. Beathard. Iowa has won four of the last five meetings and 12 of 16. Minnesota still leads the overall series, 62-46-2.

Barkley, McSorley help Penn St. beat Maryland

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Penn State coach James Franklin said this week that the Nittany Lions needed to show opponents the ability to win games solely by the pass if the ground

game goes awry; with 372 yards rushing against Maryland on Saturday, it’s a theory they didn’t need to prove. Saquan Barkley ran for 202 yards, quarterback Trace McSorley added 81 more and threw a pair of touchdown passes to lead Penn State over Maryland, 38-14, in front of a homecoming crowd of 100,778. McSorley accounted for 233 total yards, throwing for 152, as the Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) had a season-high 524 total yards and snapped Maryland’s five game win streak. Penn State had four sacks and limited Maryland (4-1, 1-1) to 270 total yards, including 170 on the ground. The Terps came in averaging 300 yards rushing per game in victories over Howard, Florida International, Central Florida and Purdue. Lorenzo Harrison led the Terps with 76 yards rushing.

BYU hands Michigan St. third straight loss

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Jamaal Williams ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns, and Brigham Young beat Michigan State, 31-14, Saturday, sending the Spartans to their third straight loss. Taysom Hill ran for a touchdown and threw for another in the second half, and the Cougars (3-3) largely shut down the Spartans (2-3) after Michigan State scored a touchdown on its first drive. BYU trailed, 7-3, at halftime but scored touchdowns on all four of its second-half possessions – not including its final drive, which consisted only of kneel-downs. Hill’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Colby Pearson put the Cougars ahead, and he then added a 12-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter. Hill threw for 138 yards and a touchdown. Michigan State has lost three in a row for the first time since early in the 2009 season.

North Carolina State defensive back Dravious Wright tackles Notre Dame wide receiver C.J. Sanders during the first half Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, N.C.

N.C. STATE 10, NOTRE DAME 3

N.C. State beats Notre Dame amid Hurricane Matthew By JOEDY McCREARY The Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. – Dexter Wright returned a blocked punt 16 yards for a touchdown with 12:43 remaining, and North Carolina State beat Notre Dame, 10-3, Saturday in a game played in hurricane conditions. A waterlogged field saturated by Hurricane Matthew’s heavy rains and wind-whipped by its gusts rendered both offenses ineffective, so the Wolfpack (4-1) beat the Fighting Irish (2-4) with special teams and defense. “This is a game to remember,” N.C. State tight end Pharoah McKeever said. Wright’s go-ahead TD came after McKeever fought through a block from Nic Weishar up the middle to deflect Tyler Newsome’s punt. All Wright had to do was scoop up the ball – not an easy task on a day like this – and head for the end zone. Notre Dame put together a late drive into the N.C. State red zone, but a shotgun snap on fourth-and-8 squibbed past DeShone Kizer with 1:52 left and the Wolfpack ran out the clock. The teams combined for five turnovers, had a total of 10 fumbles and lost four of them. In a sequence that perfectly captured the day, Notre Dame coughed the ball up with about 10 minutes left in the second quarter on a bad snap – only to get it right back when N.C. State fumbled on its next snap.

THE TAKEAWAY

Notre Dame: The sloppy conditions helped the Fighting Irish’s oft-criticized defense post its best numbers of the season. After allowing at least 489 total yards to every Power Five opponent they’ve faced, they gave up just 198 yards in this one. But that went both ways. The potent Fighting Irish offense managed just 113 total yards on 64 offensive plays, and had just 41 yards through three quarters. Kizer was sacked five times. “We don’t have any excuses,” coach Brian Kelly said. N.C. State: The weather also shackled the Wolfpack’s potent offense, which hung at least 30 points on every other opponent. QB Ryan Finley – who completed nearly 73 percent of his passes in four games – was just 5 of 12 for 27 yards with a rating of 60.6. He entered with a passer rating of 171.43 – good for 11th nationally.

Indianapolis doesn’t do anything particularly well on defense – why it allowed free-agent LB Jerrell Freeman to leave for Bears is the eighth wonder of the world – and they only boast one playmaker offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains has to scheme for. Cornerback Vontae Davis is that guy, and he almost certainly will shadow Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery all day. With WR Kevin White now injured and Eddie Royal likely out or at least limited after missing practice all week, Loggains has to beat the Colts with Cameron Meredith, Josh Bellamy and Jeffery catching the ball. At 33, Robert Mathis is a once great pass rusher who isn’t any more, and D’Qwell Jackson has lost a step and a half at linebacker. Designated pass rusher Eric Walden does have four sacks, but with only one guy to scheme for, the Bears should be able to protect QB Brian Hoyer. Common sense suggests now that the Bears have discovered RB Jordan Howard, this is the game to ride him for all he’s worth, not only to anchor the Bears’ offense, but also to keep Luck off the field. If the Colts and Luck win the time-of-possession battle, an area where the Bears are only 30th in the league and Indianapolis is eighth, the Bears could be in real trouble.

Exploring the other ‘F Word’

New exhibit at Lewis University shares personal accounts of forgiveness By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – An upcoming exhibit on the “F Word” at Lewis University in Romeoville may raise a few eyebrows. Not because it’s conjures up a certain four-letter word, said Louisa Hext of Minnesota, North America curator for the exhibit, but because of its topic. “It’s about people’s journey to forgiveness and reconciliation – or maybe not at all,” Hext said. The very word “forgiveness” calls up varied images for different people. Weakness. Heroism. But forgiveness, Hext said, does not mean condoning a horrific act. “It’s a very brave thing to sit down in front of a person who murdered your only son and forgive him, but that’s what Mary Johnson did.” Johnson’s story is not part of the 18-piece exhibit at the university from Oct. 18 to 26, but it is part of The Forgiveness Project, Hext said. According to its website, The Forgiveness Project is an award-winning, London-based, secular organization. Freelance journalist Marina Cantacuzino and photographer Brian Moody began the project in 2004 as a charity exhibit around stories of forgiveness, Hext said. Christie Billups, assistant professor of theology and co-director of Peace Studies at Lewis University, worked with Hext to bring the exhibit to the university. Billups said the human community – whether one references the election campaigns, the war in Syria or economics – tends toward division and invulnerability, often assuming in the process that forgiveness is impossible. She feels the exhibit may foster new perspectives. “I think it allows us to recognize the possibility of forgiveness,” Billups. “It helps us re-imagine how we can come together to work for greater understanding, compassion, solidarity and justice.” ••• To learn about the forgiveness stories portrayed in the “The F Word,” visit the following links:

The Mike Hike 5K run features

10 race categories covering youths through adults. For non-runners, the Mike Hike Walk takes participants through the subdivision Olivieri called home and past the Olivieri Memorial Garden. The garden was funded by money raised through the Mike Hike. The Mike Hike 5K Run/Walk will take place on the Michael C. Olivieri Memorial Trail and will begin with a tribute to Olivieri and all those who serve. The opening ceremony will begin at 9 a.m. and is open to the public.

PLAINFIELD – KLA Schools of Plainfield, a Reggio-inspired preschool, embeds core values into its curriculum with the students ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. One of those core values is caring. In an effort to raise local awareness, the school hosted a weeklong food drive to support the Northern Illinois Food Bank. The Arts and Humanities Committee, a part of the school’s parent association, led by Principal Lynn Fichtel, arranged this event. To encourage family and community involvement, signs were posted, hunger facts were distributed, a fundraising team page was created, and daily posts were shared through social media.

54 Manhattan resident to get 2016

Conservation Farm Family Award The HERALD–NEWS

MANHATTAN – The Will South Cook Soil & Water Conservation District is pleased to announce that the James Baskerville farm of Manhattan Township will receive the SWCD’s 2017 Conservation Farm Family Award. Having been in the family for more than 100 years, the Baskerville Farm is an Illinois Centennial Farm. Jim and his wife, Mary, have four children – Ann, Megan, Luke and John. John, who is a firefighter/paramedic, and Luke, who is employed at Lewis University, are both involved in the farming operation. Megan is employed by the Macon County Soil and Water Conservation District, and Ann is employed by Plainfield Consolidated School District 202 and also works with the Illinois chapter of the Sierra Club.

The Baskervilles’ farming operation is row crop production with a corn, soybean, wheat, hay rotation and employs no-till tillage and the use of cover crops including radishes, cereal rye and oats. The Baskervilles also raise beef cattle. Jim has developed a nutrient management plan for their beef cattle operation with the livestock on pasture, as well as in open feedlots at the farmstead. Livestock waste is used to supplement their cropland fertility needs. They also participate in USDA programs, including the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) where landowners employ multiple practices that benefit soil and water resources. Jim and his family will be recognized at the district’s annual recognition dinner March 2 at the Will County Fairgrounds Atrium.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff pressure on the stomach and can push acid into the esophagus. • Loosen up. Avoid tight belts, waistbands and other clothing that puts pressure on your stomach. • Avoid foods that can trigger reflux: highfat foods, spicy dishes, tomatoes and tomato products, citrus fruits, garlic, onions, milk, carbonated drinks, coffee (including decaf), tea, chocolate, mints and alcohol. They all relax the circular muscle and make reflux more likely. • Stop smoking. Nicotine stimulates stomach acid production. It also impairs the function of the muscle that keeps food and acidic juices in the stomach. • Chew (sugarless) gum. It increases saliva production, soothing the esophagus and washing acid back down to the stomach. • Discuss your medications with your doctor. Certain drugs, including aspirin and other NSAIDs, oral contraceptives, narcotics, certain antidepressants and some asthma medications can cause heartburn. • Raise your bed’s head. Elevate the head of your bed by placing a wedge under your upper body. Don’t elevate your head with extra pillows. That makes reflux worse by bending you at the waist. • Exercise wisely. Wait at least two hours after a meal before exercising. • Try herbal remedies. Certain herbs, including chamomile, ginger and licorice, may help relieve heartburn symptoms. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

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

PREVIOUS SOLUTION

• Sunday, October 9, 2016

Dear Dr K: Can lifestyle changes help relieve my heartburn? Dear Reader: Heartburn is an uncomfortable burning sensation. It results from a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or “reflux.” With GERD, stomach acid surges up into the esophagus, the “swallowing tube” that connects our mouth to our stomach. Our stomachs make acid to help digest food. The lining of our stomachs is built to resist injury from the acid. The lining of the esophagus, however, easily is injured by acid. To protect the lining of the esophagus from acid, there is a circular ring of muscle where the esophagus joins the stomach. It’s called the lower esophageal sphincter, or LES. The ring opens to allow food we’ve swallowed into the stomach. Then it clamps down, preventing acid from reaching the esophagus. In GERD, the LES doesn’t clamp down enough. As a result, stomach acid squirts up into the lower esophagus. This irritates the lining, causing the sensation of burning. Fortunately, diet and lifestyle changes can help prevent reflux. Here are some things you can try: • Eat several smaller meals throughout the day, rather than one or two big meals. A stomach full from a big meal (and acid) is more likely to cause GERD. • Relax when you eat. Sit down and eat slowly. Stress increases stomach acid production. • Remain upright after eating. Try not to bend over or strain to lift heavy objects for at least three hours after eating. This raises pressure in your stomach, which causes stomach contents to reflux up into the esophagus. • Avoid eating within three hours of going to bed. Do not eat bedtime snacks. Food (and acid) in the stomach refluxes more easily when you’re lying down. • Lose weight. Excess pounds increase

Widow ready to date again hesitates to take first step Dear Abby: My husband of 26 years passed away unexpectedly at age 46. This was 2½ years ago. I have not started dating yet; however, I finally feel like I’d like to. I have an old friend from high school whom I have never dated, but I would like to explore the possibility. He lives in another town, and we occasionally message on Facebook. I need to pick up some papers from a former doctor of mine in that town, and I would like to see my friend. Should I ask him to meet me for coffee? Is that what “buddies” do? Or should I ask him to meet me for a beer? Would that let him know I want to sort of have a date? What do I say? – Shy Starter Dear Shy: Approach it this way: Call or message him you plan to be in town to collect some documents,

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and ask if he’d “like to get together and catch up.” That hardly can be considered aggressive. If he’s interested, he then can ask you if you’d like to meet for coffee or a beer – or even go all out and share a meal together. Dear Abby: I recently went grocery shopping with my friend “April.” She decided she wanted some ice cream, so she grabbed a box of ice cream bars. She then proceeded to open the box right there in the aisle and eat one of them while we continued to shop. When we got to the checkout, she

paid for the ice cream. I didn’t say anything at the time because I didn’t want to start an argument, but I feel that what she did was not OK. What are your thoughts on this? – Unsure

In The West Dear Unsure: As long as your

friend paid for the ice cream, I see nothing wrong with what she did. What I would find upsetting is if she had eaten something, discarded the wrapper and “forgot” to inform the checker, because that would be theft. Dear Abby: My husband and I are going on a seven-night cruise. There will be a formal and a semi-formal night on the ship. I really want to go, but my husband says it’s his vacation, too, and he doesn’t want to dress up. Would it be OK for me to go without him? If not, what can he wear

Volunteer.

that is not a suit and tie but will be acceptable? Just so you know, he said if he has to go, it will be in a tux T-shirt and his Disney top hat. – Get-

ting Away In Ohio Dear Getting Away: You and your

husband are not joined at the hip. If he prefers not to attend certain events during the cruise, that should be his privilege. However, it’s your vacation, too, and you should have the option to observe the dress code and enjoy those evenings if you wish. If a coat and tie are required on the cruise you chose, you both might be happier if you select a more casual ship next time because some are less formal than others. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hesiod, a Greek poet who died around 650 B.C., said, “Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor.” Hear, hear! That has been our theme this week. To end, a deal that requires impeccable timing for declarer to make his contract. South is in four spades. West leads the heart king. What should declarer do? North’s two-spade raise is no thing of beauty, but with three trumps, an ace and a doubleton, it is the right response. (Note that if you employ two-over-one and a forcing one-no-trump response, when having three-card major-suit support, you should go via one no-trump only with an even weaker hand than this and typically 4-3-3-3 distribution.) South, because his hand is balanced, is thin for a jump to game, but it pays to be aggressive, especially when vulnerable. First, South must assume trumps are 3-2. Even then, he is faced with four losers in his hand: one spade, two hearts and one diamond. He must aim to ruff his third heart in the dummy -- but how? Suppose declarer wins the first trick and returns a heart. Here, West can play a third heart, and East will overruff the dummy. Then East can put West in with the diamond ace and ruff the next heart, effecting an uppercut that produces down two. The secret is to duck the first trick, win the heart-queen continuation, cash two top trumps, and only then ruff South’s last heart. Even if East could overruff, it would be with his trump trick.
