Thank you, and best wishes It’s hard to believe this is my last column for The Herald-News.

There were weeks where I had no idea what to write about. Other weeks, the column flowed from my fingertips, and it seemed I couldn’t type fast enough to get out what I wanted to say.

I’ve shared with you information about changes the publication was undergoing, as well as personal stories about my family and myself.

Today, I share with you that I am leaving The Herald-News and Morris Herald-News to become the opinion page editor at the State Journal-Register in Springfield.

It’s hard to leave somewhere you love, so it was a tough decision to pursue another endeavor. The appeal of the new gig was being a voice for everyday residents on the issues the state continues to wrestle with. The state capital’s paper can have a voice that resonates through-

out Illinois, and it’s a challenge I intend to embrace.

That means, though, leaving behind a place I have enjoyed working for nearly three years. It has been my pleasure to be editor here, and I’m grateful to the readers for their support, encouragement and yes, even their criticism. It has made me a better journalist.

I’m not perfect, and in hindsight, there are aspects of the job I could have done better. But know you got my best effort every day.

Also know that you have an amazing, dedicated staff that remain here. The editorial department staff at the Joliet and Morris publications work hard and give

it their all every shift. They sit through government meetings so you know how the actions taken will affect you. They attend sporting events and then return to the office to work until the early hours of the morning. They deal with irate callers, report in inclement weather and work not the greatest hours. And they do it because they have a desire to keep you, the readers, informed.

You have a great editor coming in. I have known Jon Styf since 2007, when we worked together at the Shaw Media paper in DeKalb. He’s dedicated and committed, and I know he will do great. I hope readers are as welcoming to him as you were to me.

I wish you all the best, and as always, thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Rauner plans to close Stateville’s F House

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Gov. Bruce Rauner announced Friday that he will shut down F House at Stateville Correctional Center.

Rauner announced the decision in a column published in the Chicago Sun-Times in which he called F House “one of the state’s oldest and most costly prison housing units” and said it poses safety hazards for both inmates and staff.

F House is the last remaining “roundhouse” prison structure in the United States, according to the governor’s office. It was built in 1922.

The column and a statement put out later by the governor’s office did not say when F House would close.

State Sen. Patrick McGuire, D-Joliet, however, said he had learned that the governor wants to transfer 347 inmates at F House in the next six weeks to other buildings at Stateville and other maximum-security prisons.

McGuire in a statement put out Friday afternoon said he learned of the plan through the Sun-Times column.

“Stateville is a maximum-security prison, and F House is where maximum-secu-

rity offenders who pose threats to staff and other offenders are housed,” McGuire said.

McGuire criticized Rauner for making the decision without consulting prison employees.

The governor’s office in a news release stated employees now working in F House will be transferred to other positions at Stateville.

Stateville Correctional Center is located in Crest Hill.

Crest Hill Mayor Ray Soliman said the movement of inmates out of Stateville will have an impact on the city. The inmates are counted as Crest Hill residents in population totals that are used to calculate certain state and federal taxes that come to the city.

ON THE COVER

Soliman said the announcement “took us by shock.”

“I am frustrated and disappointed that no one from the Department of Corrections or the governor’s office reached out to the city of Crest Hill,” he said.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents Stateville employees, said the union was concerned about the effect on a “severely overcrowded” prison system.

AFSCME in its statement said Stateville now has 3,496 inmates in a facility built to house 3,162.

The union said Rauner has not provided details on the plan and that “the closure risks disrupting the prison system’s safe operations and could pose a greater threat to the safety of employees and inmates alike.”

The news release from the governor’s office includes a statement from the John Howard Association, a prison reform group, that supports the closing of F House and calls it “not fit for human habitation.”

Soliman said he has toured F House and agreed it is “possibly outdated and antiquated.” He added, however, “I would hope there was a plan to build another cell house and build that on Stateville property.”

FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT

‘The Spirit of All Hallows Eve’ explores ancient Halloween-themed legends

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Carrie Lee was not cast in “The Spirit of All Hallows Eve.” But her son, niece, nephew and several friends were.

The family-oriented Halloween show returned this weekend for its 11th annual performance series, most of which have been at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park & Theatre in Joliet.

The show was performed by a family of sorts, the Bards’ Guild Theater group. Lee’s son, Tanner, is 13 now, but he’s been in productions with the group since he was 2.

When cast members spend that many years rehearsing together for shows in all seasons, they’re bound to become close.

“They’re all extended family, with how close they get during every production,” Lee said.

Much of the crowd at the 2 p.m. premiere Saturday was family of the cast.

Three more shows were scheduled: 7 p.m. Saturday, then 1 and 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 and there are snacks and refreshments in the lobby before the approximately one-hour show.

Just after 2 p.m., the lights went dark in the auditorium and the story, which explored “word-of-mouth legends handed down thousands of years,” began. A series of Druidic narrators told the stories to the side of the stage as actors pantomimed through scenes with occasional lines that added

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Larry Walsh Sr. has served nearly 12 years as Will County executive, and he said the county is “hitting on all cylinders.”

It makes sense, then, that the Elwood resident would seek another term.

Walsh, a Democrat, will face challenger Laurie McPhillips, R-Plainfield, in the Nov. 8 election. He wants to see in the next four years a lot of projects the county is working on come to fruition.

“I want to play a role in guiding this great ship called Will County government,” Walsh said.

In doing that, Walsh said he plans to continue running an open, responsible and honest government for taxpayers.

“My door is always open,” he said.

“If there’s an issue, we can talk about it and see what we can do by working together.”

Walsh said he plans to continue running a government that works for the workforce and businesses alike. He said there are plenty of examples to prove that working together can accomplish great things. Most recently, he referenced Amazon’s announcement in September that it’s bringing more than 2,000 jobs to Monee.

“Meeting after meeting, we worked with planners on roads and entrances,” Walsh said. “We sat down and made it work, and that’s why Amazon is building in Monee.”

The first capital project on Walsh’s priority list is the Will County Public Safety Complex. Ground was broken Oct. 5 on the about $30 million facility in Joliet Township, which replaces a sheriff’s office some say has been needed since the 1970s.

“I’m ashamed our people work in an environment like that,” Walsh said. “It should’ve been done 10 to 15 years ago.”

Walsh wants to keep the project on target for an early 2018 completion so the county can move on to building the new Will County Judicial Complex.

He’d like to see the courthouse finished in 2020 or 2021.

Fiscally, Walsh said not many counties are able to maintain a AA+ bond rating. Will County has done it since 2008.

“In one of the worst recessions since the Great Depression we were able to maintain our rating by paying our bills and not getting overextended,” Walsh said. “We pay our obligations and pensions. We’ve done a heck of a job running a fiscally conservative government.”

He also said he wants to continue

Get to know Larry Walsh Sr. n Has served 12 years as Will County executive. n Has served more than four decades as a public official. n Considers himself a fulltime county executive.

building on growth in recent years that has laid a foundation for Will County’s future.

Among the things he wants to guide for four more years, he noted: • The county’s five-year highway transportation plan that is annually updated and includes about $25 million spent each year to improve infrastructure.

• The county’s “huge gains” in technology systems that bring government

to the people rather than vice versa.

• The new Veterans Assistance Commission at 2400 Glenwood Ave. in Joliet that is connecting veterans with jobs along with the nearby Workforce Services Division of Will County and the Will County Center for Community Concerns.

Lastly, Walsh said in his decades as a government official at many different levels – from school board, to township, to state legislature and finally, to county – he’s never run a negative campaign.

He won’t start now.

“Every campaign of mine has been positive,” Walsh said. “Laurie and I have been friends for years. I’m not going to say anything negative. She’s going to get a lot of votes, and I’m going to get a lot of votes.”

But he believes he’s the best candidate for Will County executive because of his experience and the county’s accomplishments in his time in that role.

He said he ran 12 years ago by campaigning on the platform that Will County needed a full-time executive, and he said he’s delivered on that promise.

“I mingle with the people,” Walsh said. “I don’t send reps to different boards that I meet with. I go if it’s my responsibility, other than when I can’t be in two places at once.”

McPhillips vows to not support tax raises if elected Will County executive

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Larry Walsh Sr. has spent nearly 12 years as Will County executive, and Laurie McPhillips thinks it’s time for a change.

That’s why McPhillips, a Plainfield Republican and former Will County employee and elected official, is challenging Walsh in the Nov. 8 election.

“I feel we need proactive leadership in the executive office,” McPhillips said. “It’s time for checks and balances and new ideas.”

McPhillips believes things have moved too slowly at the county level, adding, “things that are just now happening, they were talking about 12 years ago.”

If elected, the county executive’s duties wouldn’t be completely new to McPhillips. She believes some of her most relevant experience came when she worked under former Will County Executive Joe Mikan, a Republican who Walsh unseated in the 2004 election.

From 2000 to 2004, McPhillips was responsible for daily administration duties involving 15 county departments,

as well as negotiating with elected officials and department heads to prepare the annual Will County budget.

If elected, McPhillips promised to hold the line on taxes.

“Every executive has prepared balanced budgets, however, my opponent voted to increase property taxes,” McPhillips said.

McPhillips said she’ll cut government waste and run the executive office “more like a business.” She said in the business world, when things go wrong you can’t go back and ask your customers for more money.

Walsh is extremely experienced, with 45 years in assorted public office roles, but McPhillips said this isn’t necessarily a good thing for county residents.

“I feel after 45 years [of elected office], you’re part of the establishment,” said McPhillips, who vowed to challenge and direct executive office employees, and said she believes in term limits.

McPhillips said she’s concerned about the $275 million in capital projects planned, after the county spent much more than the $850,000 it paid for the former Social Security Administration

Get to know Laurie McPhillips n Served as Will County recorder of deeds from 2004 to 2008. n Worked as administrator under former Will County Executive Joe Mikan from 2000 to 2004. n Began working for Will County in 1985. building to renovate it to operate as the Will County Recorder of Deeds and Coroner’s offices. McPhillips, a real estate broker, said the building was listed in “mint condition” and the county spent an additional $1.4 million on it on top of the purchase price.

With the construction of the about $30 million Will County Public Safety Complex having just started, McPhillips wants the chance to make sure the project stays on budget and on time, without raising taxes. The same goes for the new Will County Judicial Complex, which is in the design stages.

Should she win next month, it won’t be McPhillips’ first term as an elected official. She said she followed through

on all campaign promises when she was elected in 2004 as Will County recorder of deeds.

A proponent of more technology services, McPhillips said she led several tech-based efforts as recorder, including implementing automatic downloads of property sale documents, offering electronic access to recorded information, converting 24 years of paper documents to electronic images and initiating the first county web search for public documents.

But it’s not just about numbers and policy to McPhillips, who has nearly 30 years experience in county positions dating back to 1985. She has maintained a reputation for community activism.

She’s the current vice chairwoman of Friends of the Will County Forest Preserve District Foundation Board; a past two-term president of Will County Habitat for Humanity; and a current or former member of the Will County Emergency Food and Shelter Board, Zonta Club of Joliet, Visitation and Aid Society, Will County Historical Society, Will County Farm Bureau and more.

“I truly believe in giving back,” McPhillips said. “I think public office should be about giving back.”

Carlasare files lawsuit against opponent Dollinger

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joseph Carlasare has filed a lawsuit against Citizens For Dollinger, a committee seeking to elect Gloria Dollinger to the Will County Board.

Carlasare, a Democrat, and Dollinger, a Republican, are two of four candidates vying for two Will County Board District 10 seats in the Nov. 8 election. Tyler Marcum, a Democrat, and David Talarico, a Republican, also are running for the seats.

The class action complaint, provided to The Herald-News by Joliet at-

torney Scott Pyles and filed Friday in Will County court, alleges Dollinger’s campaign made automated calls or “robocalls” to cellphones of the “plaintiff and each of the members of the class without prior express consent in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.” The complaint states the unauthorized calls caused the plaintiff and class members actual harm, including the “aggravation and nuisance that necessarily accompanies the receipt of unsolicited calls, and the monies paid to their wireless carriers for the receipt of such calls.”

The complaint includes screenshots of the unwanted phone call, received at 4:28 p.m. Thursday, and the automated voice message it left. The complaint also includes a typed version of the message.

In audio provided by Pyles, a man named Mark Huth can be heard on the message introducing himself and then saying, “Gloria will be a great voice for us on the Will County Board. Early voting is underway now. Please vote for new leadership by voting for Gloria Dollinger. Paid for by Citizens for Gloria Dollinger.”

Carlasare is seeking an injunction

requiring the Dollinger campaign to cease all unsolicited calls; pay an award of damages to the class members; and pay other costs and attorney fees.

If the court were to rule in the plaintiff’s favor, class action members are entitled to a minimum of $500 each.

Pyles said the statute is “pretty clear” that robocalls to cellphones are illegal. Dollinger was not immediately available to comment Saturday.

District 10 stretches largely east to west from the Des Plaines River in Joliet at the east to the Kendall County border at the west.

While traffic on Jefferson Street had a green light, Feely stepped off the curb and into the path of a truck driver. The driver stopped short to avoid striking Feely, according to police, but Feely then crossed into the path of a black Jaguar that was in the lane next to the truck. The driver of the Jaguar, who attempted to stop, hit Feely, but was not ticketed.

According to police reports, Feely suffered bruising to his brain, a fracture to his left arm and fractures to both legs.

The Joliet Police Department was investigating the incident. The final cause and manner of death will be determined at a later date pending review of medical and police records, according to the Coroner’s Office.

Witnesses said Muir allegedly went over the railing of the overpass, according to the Coroner’s Office. The Illinois State Police is investigating the incident. An autopsy was scheduled for Saturday. The cause of death will be determined at a later date pending police, autopsy and toxicology reports.

LOCAL BRIEFS JOLIET – The Rialto Square Theatre has lined up another big name in country music as it begins booking shows again.

Ronnie Milsap, who was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014, will perform Dec. 2. Milsap is the second show booked since VenuWorks took over management of the Rialto on Sept. 1.

The Rialto three weeks ago announced that rising country star Kacey Musgraves will perform Dec. 15.

“They’re both Christmas shows,” interim General Manager Timothy Berry said.

“We’re bringing in the holiday spirit.”

Milsap has had 35 No. 1 hits and received six Grammy awards for best male country vocal performance. He reached the height of his popularity in the 1970s and 1980s.

Tickets go on sale Friday, and prices range from $34 to $69.

Berry said tickets for the Musgraves show are going “extremely well. We’re over two-thirds of the way sold on that.

There are still plenty of good seats left.”

Tickets are available at the Rialto box office or by calling 815-726-6600. They can also be bought from Ticketmaster at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

JOLIET – The public hearing for the proposed expansion of a downtown business property tax will be Tuesday.

The city wants to expand the Special Service Area that covers downtown Joliet to the commercial districts on Cass, Collins and South Chicago streets. The tax amounts to 95 cents per $100 of assessed valuation on business property, which city officials said would be an 8.6 percent increase. The city plans to use revenue from the expanded Special Service Area for projects downtown and in the surrounding corridors, Deputy City Manager Steve Jones said. One proposed use is to install artificial turf at Silver Cross Field.

“I think the key is the money will be used in the Special Service Area,” Jones said.

“The money will go for economic development and corridor improvements.”

The city on Oct. 5 mailed notices of the hearing to more than 600 businesses in the proposed Special Service Area.

The hearing will take place during the City Council meeting, which starts at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall. The Special Service Area also is on the agenda for discussion at the council’s workshop meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday.

JOLIET – Racist graffiti has resurfaced in a West Side subdivision, and the homeowners association is gearing up to put a stop to it.

A home was targeted Wednesday night along with the park in the Old Renwick Trail subdivision.

There have been four incidents since early August, most of them in the past two weeks, said Jan Nahorski, graffiti abatement officer for the city of Joliet.

Nahorski was buying paint Friday as he prepared to paint over graffiti that was on the sound wall between the neighborhood and Interstate 55. Old Renwick Trail is located near Renwick Road and I-55.

“The city of Joliet graffiti abatement program responds immediately to anything,” Nahorski said.

The first incident occurred in early August when someone spray-painted racist graffiti and swastikas in the park at Old Renwick Trail and Indian Head Lane, leading to Mayor Bob O’Dekirk denouncing the actions at a City Council meeting.

Nahorski said he knows of three incidents since, all of which occurred in October.

There is suspicion that the graffiti may be the result of a personal feud, said Tim McGinnis, owner of Celtic Management, which manages the homeowners’ association for the subdivision.

“We’re trying to increase communication as much as we can to alert people so that if they do see something suspicious they can notify Joliet police,” McGinnis said.

The Neighborhood Watch group in the subdivision has been revitalized in response to the graffiti incidents, he said.

“People are walking through the community, looking out their windows, trying to keep an eye on what’s going on,” he said.

Councilman Larry Hug, whose District One includes Old Renwick Trail, said it is difficult to determine how many people are doing the spray painting and whether the August incident is related to those that have happened recently.

“I don’t think anybody has a solid idea who’s doing it,” Hug said.

About half of Illinois residents would rather move out of the state than stay, with one in five saying they see themselves moving in the coming year, according to a new poll released last week.

The poll of 1,000 Illinois voters conducted by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale concluded that 47 percent would like to move, and 51 percent would prefer to remain, with 2 percent undecided. Twenty percent of those polled said it was likely they would leave Illinois in 2017.

Twenty-seven percent cited taxes as the primary reason they would like to leave, 16 percent the weather, 15 percent the government and 13 percent job and education opportunities.

Only 10 percent of those polled believe that the state is on the right track – 84 percent believe the state is headed in the wrong direction.

“There are lots of reasons why people want to leave. Not much can be done about the weather, but policymakers can do something about perceptions about the quality of services, tax competitiveness, tax fairness and educational and job opportunities,” institute Director David Yepsen said. “People often don’t feel they get good value for their tax dollars, and with frequent stories of public corruption or the large numbers of governmental units, it’s no wonder they feel that way.”

Results of the poll released Oct. 10 match those of previous polls by other firms, as well as both statewide and local data that show Illinois losing people to other states.

A Gallup poll released in 2014 concluded that 50 percent of Illinois residents would leave if they could – the state ranked first of all 50 for people who want out – and about 20 percent said

they were likely to move in the coming year. One resident in four called Illinois the worst state in which to live. Both polls were conducted before the particularly bad “polar vortex” winter.

And residents are in fact voting with their feet. From government data to statistics shared by moving truck rental companies, Illinois has been at or near the top in recent years for people moving elsewhere.

This year, for the first time, the annual loss of Illinois residents to outmigration reached six figures, according to U.S. Census data – about 105,200 more people left Illinois than arrived between July 2014 and July 2015. Illinois led all 50 states in population loss during that time period. A 2015 analysis by the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University cast some doubts on weather being a primary motivator – it found that most people leaving Illinois are settling in its bordering states.

Will and Grundy counties have both seen slight gains in population since the 2010 U.S. Census.

The population of Will County in the 2010 Census was 677,560, according to the Census Bureau, and it was estimated in July 2015 to be 687,263. Grundy County went from 50,063 in 2010, to an estimated 50,541 in 2015.

The Simon poll also found that 57 percent of people younger than 35 want to leave, while 58 percent of people between 35 and 50 want to leave. Only 29 percent of adults 66 or older want to leave.

“Policymakers argue over whether people are leaving or not. The most troubling finding in this poll is that so many younger people are thinking about it.

That’s the state’s future,” Yepsen said.

Studies put Illinois in either first or second place when it comes to its property tax burden, and its almost 7,000 units of local government are far more than any other state.

Mammography Screenings really do SAVE LIVES.

Poll reveals half of Illinois residents want to leave

Will County implements online permitting system SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – The Will County Land Use Department has implemented a new cloud-based permitting system designed to increase efficiency and make the land use permit process more user-friendly.

Through system will allow contractors and applicants to submit documents, apply for permits, schedule inspections, pay fees, print permits and view detailed information regarding permits online, according to a news release from the county.

Brian Radner, Development Review director, said the portal can handle applications relating to commercial and residential windows and doors, siding, roofs, as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and wireless telecommunications facilities and upgrades.

More permit types will be added, as well as the ability for contractors to register online.

“These types of applications make up about 50 percent of permits issued each month,” Radner said in the news release. “Our department issues ap-

proximately 2,000 building permits each year. This portal will save time for the applicants by eliminating the need to physically come to our office to apply for a permit.”

This system had not been upgraded since 1996. Mike Smetana, Building Division director, said there has been a substantial increase during the past 20 years in the number of permits issued. The online portal will reduce the review time, he said, allowing permits to be approved within 24 hours as opposed to a couple of days or weeks.

The portal also can be used through smartphones by the Land Use staff and contractors or members of the public, according to the news release.

Visit www.willcountylanduse.com/ portal to access the public portal. Contractors and applicants can create an account to track applications or to inquire about a particular permit. The public can view basic information regarding past permits, as well as what active permits are ongoing in any given area, without having to log on.

This also revamped numerous internal processes at the Land Use Department, according to the news release.

Protesters want work at Water’s Edge project

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – About 15 people protested hiring and contracting practices Friday at the future Water’s Edge construction site in Joliet.

Protesters said the Housing Authority of Joliet is not following federal requirements for the project, a claim disputed by the authority and the general contractor on the job.

“All we want to do is work,” said Steve Broadway of Joliet, who contended he has been unable to get a response to a resume he sent to the authority.

Water’s Edge is a mixed-income development being built as replacement housing for the Des Plaines Garden Homes housing project, which was demolished in the summer.

James Foster, a Joliet electrical contractor, said the authority has not followed federal Section 3 contracting rules that would give local contractors opportunities to work on the project.

He said local contractors that would qualify under Section 3 are being shut out of the bidding process.

“We didn’t hear anything from them until one of us found on the internet that the bids were due four days later,”

Bob Okon – bokon@shawmedia.com

Joliet electrical contractor James Foster (right) leads a protest at the Water’s Edge development with Marcus Tyler (center) of Joliet and Ronald Banks, a contractor.

Foster said.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 3 rules create opportunities for low-income residents of public housing and surrounding neighborhoods.

Housing Authority CEO Michael Simelton said both the authority and general contractor, Carlson Construction of Joliet, are following Section 3 requirements in the construction of

Water’s Edge.

“We believe we have a plan to address the residents that we serve,” Simelton said. “This is not unfamiliar territory to us.”

He said it is still early in the project, and most of the hiring and contracting for the project has not been done yet.

“Some of those people protesting are probably under consideration,” Simelton said. “They have to let it go

through the process.”

Foster’s company got a contract to remove light fixtures during the demolition of Des Plaines Garden, said Mark Carlson, one of the owners of Carlson Construction.

“There are numerous subcontracts to be released on the project,” Carlson said.

Simelton said the authority will hold Section 3 meetings on a yet-tobe-determined date in November for contractors and prospective workers.

Publicly funded construction projects in Joliet have been an issue for years, particularly for minority contractors and workers who say they are not getting a fair share of work.

Section 3 rules, however, do not have provisions for minority participation. The rules are aimed at increasing opportunities for low-income residents primarily in public housing but also in the surrounding areas.

Marcus Tyler, a union laborer who said he has lived in the Des Plaines Garden neighborhood for 20 years, said he believed the protest Friday was necessary to get the housing authority’s attention.

“We have to take this stand, take this action for them to see what they’re not doing,” Tyler said.

OBITUARIES COLLEEN ANN DAVIDSON Born: July 13, 1955 Died: October 14, 2016

DOLORES M. FRANKOVICH Dolores M. Frankovich (nee Zelko), age 91, entered into eternal life on Friday, October 14, 2016.

Dolores is survived by her loving children, Mark (Sandie) Frankovich, Jane (Lawrence) Kuzma, and Mary Ellen (Douglas) Harmon; cherished grandchildren, Shannon, Shane, Michael, Lisa, Katherine, Keenan, Reanna, Dewayne, Lexi, Alex, Alana, and Austin; 10 cherished great-grandchildren; dear sister, Lillian (the late Louis) Korilko; dear sister-inlaw, Barbara (the late John) Zelko; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Preceded in death by her husband, Michael; parents, Frank and Josephine (nee Opara); siblings, Josephine (Martin) Spanich, Ray, Sylvia, John, and Jim Zelko.

Dolores travelled to many parts of the country and the world seeing some of the most beautiful sights and cultures the Earth has to offer. Dolores was a strong, independent, loving, and tenacious person. She kept her beautiful smile and her humor until the very end, only her body faltered. Over the past

week, she was having health complications, but to her family she was still as full of life as she ever was. She spoke so vibrantly and remained the sharpest person in the room.

Things that Dolores will greatly miss include, tending to her garden and her beautiful flowers, completing crossword puzzles, and traveling the world. One thing that everyone else will miss are her delicious chocolate chip cookies, the secret recipe of which she may or may not have taken with her. Dolores will be greatly missed by her loving children, cherished grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers donations in Dolores’ name to Autism Science Foundation at www.autismsciencefoundation.org would be greatly appreciated.

The family extends special thank you to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Loyola University Medical Center and Presence St. Joseph Medical Center for the excellent care provided.

A Celebration of Dolores’ life will begin on Monday, October 17, 2016 with a Mass of Christian Burial at Holy Family Catholic Church in Shorewood at 10:00 a.m. Family and friends to meet at the church. Visitation will be Sunday October 16, 2016 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Tezak Funeral Home, 1211 Plainfield Rd, Joliet, IL 60435. Per Dolores’ wishes, cremation rites have been accorded.

In Loving Memory of

Kerry Ann Keca

10th Anniversary in Heaven We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and although we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

We love and miss you dearly Mom, Dad, Kristofer & Ashley

Some Chicago cops have had 100+ complaints CHICAGO TRIBUNE CHICAGO – A newspaper’s analysis of five decades of Chicago Police Department data shows a small number of officers had racked up more than 100 complaints each and that only an extremely small number of reports resulted in an officer’s dismissal.

The Chicago Tribune reported Friday that another 62 officers each had at least 70 complaints, suggesting to some critics that the department could do more to identify and deal with problem officers. How the department handles citizen complaints is one of the central issues being examined by the U.S. Justice Department, which began a civil rights investigation in Decem-

ber, soon after the release of dashcam video showing a white officer fatally shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times.

The city of Chicago handed over the thousands of pages of internal police data Wednesday after a two-year court fight. A police union sought to block the release, arguing many complaints against officers are baseless and made by criminals seeking revenge.

In all, 125,000 complaints were made against 25,000 different officers between 1967 and 2014. Nearly 90 percent were determined to be false or lacking enough evidence. Of those cases in which wrongdoing was found, only one half of 1 percent resulted in the officer’s firing, the Tribune anal-

ysis found.

The Chicago Sun-Times also pressed for the release of complaint logs going back to 1967 and published a similar analysis this week.

A Chicago Police Department spokesman did not respond to a request for comment on the newspaper’s findings.

Nearly half of the officers identified in the data had five or fewer complaints. There was no information in the documents to indicate how many officers had no complaints.

The officer with the most was Jerome Finnigan, who was accused in 157 complaints during his two decades on the force. The former Special Operations Section officer is now in federal

Police arrested two juveniles last week too. Police said all four are tied to a local gang but refused to name the gang.

SPRINGFIELD – Springfield police said the theft of more than 50 guns from a firearms dealer last week was gang-related.

The State Journal-Register reported that police announced the arrest this past week of two adults and two juveniles in the Oct. 9 break-in at Letz Hunt and Sport.

The adults include 19-year-old Jimmie Burge of Springfield. He is charged with possession of a stolen firearm, no valid firearms card, theft and criminal damage to property. An 18-year-old Chatham man could face burglary and theft charges.

Police said Burge and the other adult and possibly others kicked in the door to

prison.

Sixth on the list is Lt. Glenn Evans, who had 115 complaints. The onetime commander was acquitted in December of charges alleging he stuck a gun down a suspect’s throat.

Some civil rights attorneys who have criticized the department’s disciplinary system said they were shocked by the number of complaints.

“Most Chicago police officers don’t get more than five [complaints] in an entire career,” attorney Jon Loevy told the Tribune on Thursday.

“If the police department is truly interested in identifying the problem officers, then the clusters of complaints seem to be the obvious place to look.”

reduced bond for criminal detainees.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Democratic state Rep. LaShawn Ford of Chicago will work on legislation to add the sheriff to the list of officials who may ask a judge to reduce bail in the case of indigent inmates.

Ford said the sheriff knows his inmates and which ones can be safely released from jail cells. He said it’s unfair if some people can get out because they have money.

Cara Smith is Dart’s policy chief. She said the jail last year had more than 1,000 “turn-arounds.” Those are people who have served so much jail time that

year and urging city residents to be wary and report any suspicious activity.

According to the Rockford Register Star, 35 fires in the city were set by arsonists as of Sept. 30. That is up from 20 during the same period last year.

Rockford Fire Division Chief Matthew Knott said there have been no arrests.

Investigators said they have no concrete links between the fires, but some have occurred simultaneously and in locations close to each other.

The fires have not resulted in any deaths, but firefighters said some of the blazes have been particularly dangerous.

One burned a multi-family home where seven people lived, and several firefighters have been injured battling the fires.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the slogan “Love Everyone, Always” will appear on electronic billboards in a Chicago train station, on a billboard along the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and several other locations. Volunteers also will hand out the slogan on bumper stickers, and it will appear on yard signs and T-shirts.

Teaching Pastor Steve Carter of the Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington said the message is also in response to racism and recent world events, including wars in the Middle East.

Carter said as the campaign continues, the word “love” will be replaced by other commands, including “respect,” “serve” and “forgive.”

KIGALI, Rwanda – Nearly 200 nations have reached a deal, announced Saturday morning after all-night negotiations, to limit the use of greenhouse gases far more powerful than carbon dioxide in a major effort to fight climate change.

The talks on hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, were called the first test of global will since the historic Paris Agreement to cut carbon emissions was reached last year. HFCs are described as the world’s fastest-growing climate pollutant and are used in air conditioners and refrigerators. Experts say cutting them is the fastest way to reduce global warming.

Trump challenges legitimacy of election

By JILL COLVIN

The Associated Press PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – A beleaguered Donald Trump sought to undermine the legitimacy of the U.S. presidential election on Saturday, pressing unsubstantiated claims the contest is rigged against him, vowing anew to jail Hillary Clinton if he’s elected and throwing in a baseless insinuation his rival was on drugs in the last debate.

Not even the country’s more than two centuries of peaceful transitions of political leadership were sacrosanct as Trump accused the media and the Clinton campaign of conspiring against him to undermine a free and fair election.

“The election is being rigged by corrupt media pushing completely false allegations and outright lies in an effort to elect her president,” he said, referring to the several women who have come forward in recent days to say that Trump had groped or sexually assaulted them. He has denied the claims, calling the women liars.

Earlier Saturday, Trump took to Twitter to warn that “100% fabricated and madeup charges, pushed strongly by the media and the Clinton Campaign, may poison the

FIX!” “Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted and should be in jail,” he added.

“Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election.”

In a country with a history of peaceful political transition, his challenge to the election’s legitimacy – as a way to explain a loss in November, should that happen – was a striking rupture of faith in American democracy. Trump has repeatedly claimed without offering evidence that election fraud is a serious problem and encouraged his largely white supporters to “go and watch” polling places in certain areas to make sure things are “on the up and up.”

Peter Kostruba, a Trump supporter who traveled to his Portsmouth rally from Barnet, Vermont, with his 10-year-old son, said he’s not expecting riots to break out if Clinton wins, but he sees sharper divisions in the country.

“It definitely feels like the odds are stacked, whether it’s the legal system or the voter system,” Kostruba said. “I don’t think you’re going to see all of this group here arm themselves and mobilize, but, you know, we’re probably not too many years away from

that if things keep going the way we’re going.”

On a similar theme, a prominent Trump supporter who spoke at the GOP convention last summer, Sheriff David Clarke Jr. of Wisconsin’s Milwaukee County, tweeted Saturday: “It’s incredible that our institutions of gov, WH, Congress, DOJ, and big media are corrupt & all we do is b-----.

Pitchforks and torches time.”

Clarke, an elected Democrat, illustrated his tweet with a photo showing angry people with clubs and torches.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, whose decision not to campaign for Trump angered the GOP nominee, made clear he does not share the candidate’s concern about the election’s legitimacy.

“Our democracy relies on confidence in election results, and the speaker is fully confident the states will carry out this election with integrity,” said AshLee Strong, speaking for him.

It was not the first time Trump has raised the idea the election is unfairly tilted against him, but it has become a resurgent theme for the New York billionaire and many of his supporters in the past several days as he’s slipped in polls and faced allegations of sexual misconduct.

LOTTERY

If Batman had a warship, it would be this, admiral says

Barb’s Holiday Travel 815-439-3939

4614 Ryehill Dr., Joliet, IL 60431 barbstravel@sbcglobal.net CARAVAN TOURS CHICAGO - NOV. 19

By BRIAN WITTE

The Associated Press BALTIMORE – If Batman had a warship, it would be the USS Zumwalt.

That’s how Adm. Harry Harris, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, described the Navy’s largest and most sophisticated new destroyer, which comes with a price tag of at least $4.4 billion.

“As long as our president and you the American people have an insatiable appetite for security, than I have an insatiable appetite for the stuff to underwrite that security,” Harris said at the ship’s commissioning ceremony on Saturday.

Ray Mabus, secretary of the Navy, called the Zumwalt “a quantum leap” for Navy ships.

“It’s the first of a kind that’s leading the way for new classes of ships, new capabilities that are in ships, new systems that we can use and it just expands the things we can do and the ways we do it,” Mabus said after the ceremony.

Here are some other details about the guided missile destroyer:

Stealth

The 610-foot-long warship is sleek, with an angular shape to minimize its radar signature. It looks like a much smaller vessel on radar. Quieter than other ships, the Zumwalt is hard to detect, track and attack.

A composite deckhouse hides radar and other sensors. Its powerful new gun system can unload 600 rocket-powered projectiles on targets more than 70 miles away.

Power

Weighing nearly 15,000 tons, the ship’s advanced technology and capabilities allow it a range of defensive and offensive missions to project power, wherever it is needed. Capt. James Kirk, commanding officer of the Zumwalt, said it generates 78 megawatts of power, “enough power to power a medium- to small-sized city.”

With a motto of Pax Proctor Vim (Peace Through Power), its unique capability to generate power could be used in ways perhaps not even envisioned yet, such as in the testing and use of laser and directed-energy weapon systems.

Ride

The Zumwalt also features an unconventional wave-piercing hull that makes its ride “very smooth,” Lt. Cmdr.

Nate Chase said. “You had no fear of having an open cup of coffee and getting jerked around, like some of these other ships.”

Missiles

The Zumwalt will be able to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles, Evolved Sea Sparrow Missiles, standard surface-to-air missiles and anti-submarine rockets from 80 missile tubes.

Crew

With 147 officers and sailors, the Zumwalt’s crew is the smallest of any destroyer built since the 1930s, thanks to extensive automation. All sailors are cross-trained, and there’s more sharing of tasks on the Zumwalt. Sailors have staterooms, instead of bunk rooms with dozens of people in them. “So, when they wake up, they wake up to only one or two alarm clocks, not four, not 50,” Kirk said.

The bridge

On the bridge, there are 180-degree windows and chairs for the ship’s captain and executive officer to command the vessel and plenty of video monitors.

Reformer

The ship is named after the late Adm. Elmo “Bud” Zumwalt, who earned the Bronze Star in World War II and commanded small boats that patrolled the Mekong Delta in the Vietnam War. He became the youngest chief of naval operations and earned a reputation as a reformer, who fought racism and sexism. “He changed our Navy in massive ways, some to make the fleet a more potent fighting force but most importantly he reformed the institution of the Navy to be more just and fair to all its sailors, making sure that all sailors regardless of race, creed, color, faith, had an opportunity to serve in whatever capacity that their heart and their passion desired to,” Kirk said.

critical details and some jokes.

The show focused on a few different tales.

One took the audience to ancient Egypt, where a king met his demise and the powers of Anubis, Egyptian god of mummification and the dead.

The actor playing Anubis walked on stilts that placed him a few feet above the king, which added to the “largerthan-life” aspect and brought more authenticity to the character’s powers, especially for the children in the crowd.

Another tale saw the cast take to western England, where a group was coerced into becoming amateur vampire hunters. Cast members scattered through the audience asking if anyone had seen a vampire.

But as it turned out, the one man leading the hunters was actually working against them.

The cast also made sure to throw in some modern pop culture references that got laughs from crowd, which was age 5 and older.

One character caught a Pikachu, and another actor in a different scene “leveled up.” Both are references to the popular Japanese animated card game, TV show and video game, Pokémon.

A few cast members quipped that

the witch could turn her victims into “either of the presidential candidates” or an “exploding Samsung Galaxy Note S7.”

The lead narrator asked “mere mortals” to question the source of their information regarding some Halloween tales and theorized that manipulation may be a form of witchcraft.

The rehearsals and performances don’t stop. Much of the cast will now prepare for the 40th annual “Festival of Gnomes” production on Dec. 3 and 4.

Jan Novotny, who has been involved in theater for “60-some” years, was just happy to help Saturday. The St. Joseph Academy principal handled tickets and admission at the event.

She’s had children and grandchildren who have performed in shows all across the country.

“It’s the creativity and the camaraderie they get out of it,” Novotny said of theater. “It teaches kids how to express themselves, to be unafraid and to care for each other. Because when one makes a mistake, they pick them up.”

revenues as BCS begins to exit numerous non-core assets to focus on capital costs. Meanwhile, core revenues are coming in flat, though the anticipated fallout from Brexit has been a huge yawn.

If BCS earns 79 cents a share this year as Standard & Poor’s expects, then the 38-cent dividend, yielding a comfortable 4.4 percent, won’t be reduced again. And when BCS is finally free from the drag of its noncore assets, Wall Street expects better earnings in those years ahead.

I think you’re on the right track, and if a wise lady like you can afford the risk, then take a shot at it and buy 5,000 shares. BCS, as you probably know, traded in the low $60s before the market tanked 10 years ago and traded in the high $10s until late 2015, when the U.K. began making Brexit noise.

This location employs more than 100 people. The Romeoville store is the first of its kind because it incorporates a new design with many green aspects while providing customers a more enjoyable shopping experience, according to a news release from the village.

“We are so excited that Farm and Fleet chose Romeoville. The response from residents about the opening has been overwhelming and just in time for holiday shopping,” Mayor John Noak said in the news release.

The store officially opened Oct. 13. The grand-opening event is Oct. 20 to 22. Stop by for a look at the new store, great deals, activities, vendor demonstrations, giveaways and more. The event is free and family-friendly.

At 77 years young, a lady should not have to hide a purchase from her broker. That’s silly. Frankly, I don’t think it’s a good idea to have a broker who is a close friend. More than you know, good friendships are ruined by bad business decisions. If you can afford to risk $41,900 on a stock, you should employ a money manager to make those portfolio decisions.

At age 77, perhaps it’s time to let a knowledgeable, wise, experienced and caring professional make those investment decisions for you. I’m older than you, and 10 years ago I hired a money manager to run a large portion of my individual retirement account.

And my wife and I are very pleased.

By the way, your broker may charge a $450-$650 commission on your purchase, but Schwab would charge $8.95.

Medicare unveils overhaul of how doctors will be paid The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Medicare on Friday unveiled a far-reaching overhaul of how it compensates doctors and other clinicians. The goal is to reward quality, cost-effective care instead of just paying piecemeal for services.

The complex regulation is nearly 2,400 pages long and will take years to fully implement. It’s meant to carry out bipartisan legislation that was passed by Congress and signed

by President Barack Obama last year. Whether it succeeds or fails, it’s one of the biggest changes in Medicare’s 50-year history.

While the concept of paying for quality has broad support, the details have been a source of trepidation for some clinicians, who worry that the new system will force small practices and old-fashioned solo doctors to join big groups. Pa-

tients may soon start hearing about the changes from their physicians, but it’s still too early to discern the impacts.

The Obama administration sought to calm concerns Friday. “Transforming something of this size is something we have focused on with great care,” said Andy Slavitt, head of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Officials considered more than 4,000 comments and held meetings around the country attended by more than 100,000 people before issuing the final rule. The administration will continue to accept comments, and Slavitt signaled openness to fine tuning.

Medicare’s previous congressionally mandated system for paying doctors proved unworkable. It called for automatic cuts when spending surpassed certain levels, but lawmakers routinely waived those reductions.

OUR VIEW

Worth saying again: Smoke alarms save lives If a message isn’t getting through, what do you do?

You repeat it until it does.

That’s apparently the reason behind the continued emphasis on smoke alarms by the group that sponsored Fire Prevention Week this past week.

For a third straight year, the National Fire Protection Association has focused on the need for everyone to be protected by having working smoke alarms on the premises.

In 2014, the Fire Prevention Week theme was “Smoke alarms save lives: Test yours every month.”

In 2015, the theme was “Hear the beep where you sleep. Every bedroom needs a working smoke alarm!”

And this year, the theme is “Don’t wait – check the date! Replace smoke alarms every 10 years.”

Replace smoke alarms every 10 years?

Whoever knew to do that?

Not enough of us, it appears.

A national survey conducted by the National Fire Protection Association found that 90 percent of Americans polled had no idea how often a smoke alarm should be replaced.

The correct answer: every 10 years.

Many of those surveyed were not aware that smoke alarms even have expiration dates.

Well, they do.

If you leave smoke alarms up past 10 years, you’re putting yourself and your loved ones at risk.

Statistics show that 60 percent of U.S. home fire deaths occur in homes that have no smoke alarms or where alarms aren’t working – presumably because of lack of batteries or from old age.

Statistics also show that working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire in half.

So, this is the week to inspect your smoke alarms at home.

The age of the device can be determined by looking on its back or side, where the date of manufacture should be visible. Use that date, not the date when you installed it, as the measure for when the smoke alarm should be replaced.

The survey found that half of Americans had three or more smoke alarms in their homes.

While checking their dates of manufacture, people should replace batteries in their smoke alarms whose life expectancy hasn’t expired.

Don’t have any smoke alarms in your home?

Now is the time to buy and install them.

More information on fire safety can be found at the National Fire Protection Association’s website, www. nfpa.org.

Kudos to this group for persevering in its mission to prevent fires and save lives.

Family views diverge where pets are concerned You work hard to raise your kids right, to respect your family’s values, to uphold your family’s ideals and to cherish the traditions passed down by your family’s ancestors.

And then something like this happens.

Three daughters. Two stay on the path. The other goes … in her own direction.

God knows she wasn’t born that way. And she sure as heck didn’t learn it at home.

Maybe it was something she picked up in college. UIC is a pretty liberal campus, and highly diverse. I’m sure she could have experimented with the idea there.

Yeah, that had to be it.

I guess I should have seen it coming. I mean my sister was one, too, at least in her younger days. But she eventually grew out of it.

To be perfectly honest, I dabbled in it a bit as an adolescent, but had switched fully over to the other side by the time I got married. I doubt Sara would have gone through with the marriage if I hadn’t made the change.

Still, our daughter’s “conversion” took us completely by surprise.

Not so much the “L” part.

No, we actively encouraged that.

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus It was the “C” part that threw us for a loop.

C and L. She’s a CL. Cat Lover.

Jeez, what did you think I was talking about?

It’s not that I hate cats. No, I don’t mind them at all (though my allergies do). It’s just that they seem to mind me, usually with something between total indifference and downright hostility. That’s because cats are only interested in people when they want something. Otherwise they merely tolerate you.

Their only other redeeming quality is that they can poop in a box.

Unlike dogs, who constantly shower you with unconditional love.

And constantly shower your floor and furniture with unconditional scent marking.

And poop everywhere but in a box.

Hey, nobody’s perfect.

We’ve been a dog family since 1982, with Moe-Tze, my wife’s original Shih

Tzu, who lived to be 17; followed by Snickers, the rat terrier from hell; followed by Lucy, the teacup Yorkie who replaced Snickers after he was released on waivers following an unprovoked biting incident; followed by Ricky, one of two flea-ridden Shih Tzu strays my daughter the future cat lover brought home one night (we gave away his brother); followed by Max, the introverted Shih Tzu-Chihuahua mix my youngest daughter gave my wife (without asking) for Christmas the year I was away working in Florida; followed by Bickle, the manic Yorkie my youngest daughter gave me (without asking) the year after I returned home from Florida.

Up until 2015 we had three dogs – all male. Replacements, I guess, for our three grown children, who are all female. In direct violation of Joliet law, which says you can have no more than two. Dogs that is, not daughters.

After I got sick in 2015, Max and Bickle decided to fight (to the death if we’d have let them) to see who would replace me as Alpha Male. Max is now vacationing with Sara’s dad, who he’s adopted as his new person.

Bickle now calls the shots in our house, while Ricky, who’s even older than me (at least in dog years) doesn’t

do anything but lie around. Which is the same activity my wife accuses me of all the time. But hey, I’m not the Alpha Male anymore.

My oldest daughter, the one whom our dogs seem to dote on the most, has no dogs. What she does have is twin 2-year-old daughters, so I guess she has an excuse.

My middle daughter, the unrepentant CL, has two cats – Uncle Frank and Po. Bizarre names, I agree, but then again they’re cats. She also has two poop boxes. I don’t believed she’s named them yet, though.

My youngest daughter, the serial dog gifter, now has a dog of her own: Huckleberry, a Cane Corso the size of a small pickup truck. Huckleberry is … challenging.

But then my youngest daughter loves animals. Recently she informed me of a new home business she’s launched: breeding ball pythons for the RL crowd.

Reptile Lovers.

Hmm. Maybe cats aren’t so bad, after all.

ernment to spend transportation taxes and fees on transportation? An emphatic “yes” is the only reasonable answer.

Why is this so important? Because for years, government officials have been taking these transportation fees to spend them on something else. The result has been a dangerous deterioration of our roads, bridges, transit and rail systems and airports.

A yes vote on the amendment holds government accountable, helps promote safety and gives Illinois’ economy a boost. This is an easy vote!

To the Editor: As a contractor involved in transportation construction, I can attest to the importance of a safe and efficient transportation network as the basis for Illinois’ economy. This November, we all have the chance to register our support for appropriate funding of this key economic engine by voting “yes” on the first question on the ballot.

The amendment question on the ballot asks a simple question: should the Illinois Cindy Gustafson constitution be amended to require gov- President of J.A.C.K. Contractor Services, Inc.

36 FOOTBALL: JOLIET WEST 40, JOLIET CENTRAL 0

Joliet West blanks Joliet Central for 6th win

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The fact it was Joliet Central on the opposite sideline made Saturday afternoon’s Southwest Prairie football matchup special for visiting Joliet West.

But there was much more at stake for the Tigers, who delivered a 40-0 knockout punch.

“It was 47 years ago when Joliet West finished 7-1-1,” Tigers coach Jason Aubry said. “Ray Klootwyk was the coach. That was the last time a West team had six victories.”

Saturday’s victory bumped West to 6-2 overall and in the SPC, and added intrigue to Friday night’s season finale at Plainfield North (6-2, 6-2). The winner not only will claim no worse than sole possession of third place in the conference, but also will be in position to perhaps earn a home game in the first round of the playoffs.

West has won five straight, and North has shut out its last three opponents. Game on.

“We clinched our playoff spot today, now it’s down to one game,” Aubry said. “Are we hosting in the first round or going on the road?”

The Tigers – who led, 28-0, at halftime – played like a team ready for the playoffs, leaving the Steelmen (1-7, 1-7) little opportunity to stay close.

Sophomore Jaxon Aubry short-circuited quarterback rating calculators in the first half, when he completed 15 of 16 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns. He finished 19 of 22 for 246 and four scores.

Many of his completions were tosses into the flat, where he counts on his receivers to pick up yardage after the catch. Yet he also connected downfield thanks largely to wide receivers Johnny Holman and Omari Ferguson.

Holman caught 29- and 39-yard touchdown bombs in the second quarter and finished with four catches for 101 yards. Ferguson scored twice on 16-yard receptions – the second a diving catch in the end zone on fourthand-goal from the 16 – to finish with 10 catches for 117 yards.

“We’ve been working on it since summer,” Holman said of his ability to get deep down the sideline, and Aubry’s touch getting him the ball. “Our mentality is when the ball is up in the air, we go get it. When we go deep, it’s all about keeping our focus.”

“We’ve come to really rely on our receivers,” Jason Aubry said. “Our mindset now is not what bad is going to happen, but what good things can we do. What Johnny Holman can do vertically is amazing, and TJ [Neal,

Holman caught 29- and 39-yard touchdown throws in the second quarter and finished with four catches for 101 yards as the Tigers defeated the Steelmen, 40-0. another wide receiver] made a really nice play down the middle that would have been a touchdown, but was called back.”

West’s defense was equally impressive, as Julius Garrett and Rashad Wilson were ringleaders in making life miserable for Central quarterback Zach Wisneski.

“Our coaches said to keep pressure on their offensive line, and that what we did,” said Garrett, who had four sacks and two tackles for loss. “When we started getting to him [Wisneski], I think he got a little scared.”

Wilson chipped in 1.5 sacks and two tackles for loss, linebacker Kevon Dorris’ sack ended a Central threat in the third quarter, and reserve defensive lineman Kaveion Underwood joined the sack party with one late. The Steelmen managed a net of 93 total yards to the Tigers’ 383.

“That’s kind of been the story all year,” Central coach Brett Boyter said.

“We try to give Zach enough time, but

we don’t always do it. We were able to throw short passes, but when we get those long-yardage situations, we have to give him more time.

“West is a playoff team and has a shot at a home game. You don’t get in that position by accident. They have a good defensive line, but for our part, we need to fix what we can.”

With West leading, 7-0, late in the first quarter, Central’s JoJo McNair recovered a fumbled punt at the West 40. The Steelmen drove to the 15, but on third-and-10 from the 17, Tigers cornerback Alex Jiminez intercepted Wisneski in the end zone to thwart the threat.

The Steelmen’s other scoring opportunity came when McNair ran 79 yards from the wildcat formation for an apparent touchdown. But a blockin-the-back penalty was called on the opposite side of the field, and the ball was brought back to the West 45.

Central drove to a first-and-goal from the 5 and a third-and-goal from

the 3, but Arthur Hart spilled McNair for a 5-yard loss on a pass into the flat, and Dorris sacked Wisneski on fourth down to turn the ball over to the Tigers.

“We weren’t very disciplined in the first half,” Boyter said. “We can’t let unsportsmanlike penalties happen like they did. There were a couple times we could have gotten our defense off the field – instead, their drives stayed alive.

“But it wasn’t just penalties, it was our checks and reads. We did not play very disciplined football today.”

Trailing, 6-0, in the sophomore game, West drove down the field in the final minute and scored on the final play as Justin Corcoran caught a deflected 11-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Barnett, who then ran the twopoint conversion, barely crossing the goal line for an 8-6 victory. Barnett, the Tigers’ starting free safety, stepped in at quarterback for the first time this season.

Like two wary boxers, the teams felt each other out early as the game was scoreless after the first quarter.

Morris struck the first big blow when

Keagan Sobol broke a 44-yard touchdown run midway through the second and the Redskins took a 7-0 lead into halftime.

Hilltoppers rout Marian for first victory of season

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media correspondent CHICAGO HEIGHTS – It seemed like old times for Joliet Catholic on Friday as it picked up its first win, thrashing East Suburban Catholic foe Marian Catholic, 55-7.

The Hilltoppers (1-7, 1-5) scored five rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns, and racked up 256 yards rushing and 376 total yards against the Spartans (1-7, 0-6). JCA scored on all nine of its possessions.

“It was big for the seniors. We needed one,” said senior defensive back Jack Duffy, who intercepted two passes. “It was important to win one for the younger guys so they can take that into next season.”

Senior quarterback Patrick Roth (8 of 12, 120 yards) started the scoring with a 21-yard touchdown pass to running back Michael Butler. The Hilltoppers then scored on touchdown runs of 18 and 19 yards by sophomore running back Keenan Hailey (seven carries for 109 yards).

Junior running back Ke’von Johnson (seven carries, 31 yards) returned to the lineup after missing two games because of an injury. He scored on a 4-yard-run to put JCA ahead, 27-7, at halftime.

Senior running back Rio Strama (five carries, 40 yards) added a 7-yard touchdown run in a 21-point third quarter. Roth also connected with Hailey for a screen pass that Hailey took 25 yards for a touchdown.

Sophomore running back Nick Iannantone added touchdown runs of 46 and 55 yards. He finished with 104 yards on three carries.

The key to the win was a good week of practice with the sophomore team, JCA coach Dan Sharp said.

“We brought our sophomore team up because they did not have a sophomore game, and our sophomores came up and prepared us,” Sharp said. “That gave us more bodies at practice, and we were able to get some scrimmage work in.

“Our offense played fast. We put some things in this week including putting [Aidan] Tyrell in at receiver and putting Ke’von [Johnson] out wide so we had some speed out on the edge. We had some big backs at the wings in [Si-

mon] Grashoff and Strama, and I don’t think they [Marian Catholic] were prepared for it.”

The coach also credited Roth.

“I thought Patrick played phenomenal,” Sharp said. “His vision. His poise.

I thought [offensive coordinator] Jim Sharp did a good job putting together the passing game with him, and Dave Douglas did a good job preparing the offensive line and coordinating the running game with us. We had four sophomores starting on the offensive line.

“Our defense also played exceptional. Jaws [defensive coordinator Jake Jaworski] did a great job with the kids, and Rick Raasch did a great job with the special teams. It was a great win.

We just have to build on it.”

JCA will host Marist on Friday.

MORRIS – All season long, the Morris football team has made a habit of getting stronger as the game has gone on.

Friday night was more of the same as the Redskins (6-2, 3-1) took control in the second half for a 28-13 Northern Illinois Big XII East win over Sycamore that officially put them in the playoffs.

Michael Gerischer scored on a 9-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter to break a 7-all tie and put Morris ahead for good. In the first half, Gerischer had played only on defense and did not have a carry, but he figured prominently in the running game after halftime.

“That’s one of the benefits us having so many guys who can run the ball,” Gerischer said. “We always have someone that has fresh legs that we can put in there. Tonight was my night to do that, and the O-line opened up some big holes.”

After Sycamore had tied the game at 7 late in the third quarter, Morris took over at its 25. Quarterback Ricky Del Favero ran for a 14-yard gain, then Gerischer broke loose for 31 yards to the Spartans’ 30. Del Favero ran for 13 more, and Gerischer gained 8 on the final play of the third quarter. On the first play of the fourth, he plowed through traffic in the middle of the field for the touchdown.

“We work hard on our condition-

minute left in the third on a 9-yard run by Luke Ryan. After Gerischer’s touchdown, Ryan caught a 61-yard TD pass from Ty Sulaver, pulling Sycamore to within 14-13. The extra-point kick was good, but Sycamore was called for a penalty, moving the ball back and forcing the Spartans to go for two. The Morris defense stopped the conversion pass, but there was an interference penalty called, and ball was moved back up. From there, Sycamore tried another kick, but this one was wide left, and Morris still held a 14-13 lead.

On third-and-5 from the Morris 30, Del Favero connected on a 30-yard pass to Michael Feeney. Four straight runs

by Feeney got the ball to the Sycamore 6, and Sobol finished the drive with runs of 4 and 2 yards for a 21-13 lead.

Morris appeared to lock it up when Sycamore turned the ball over on downs at midfield, but Feeney fumbled on the next play and Sycamore recovered. Delaney Stutzki answered with an interception on the next play for Morris and, two plays later, Feeney broke a 54-yard touchdown that sealed the win. Feeney finished with 123 yards on 17 carries, while Sobol had 71 on eight attempts and Gerischer 54 on seven tries.

“What I like about this team is the way it finishes games,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “Even in our losses, we were playing our best at the end.

It just shows how hard these kids have worked in the offseason with their conditioning.”

38 FOOTBALL: ROMEOVILLE 52, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 14

Nettles, Romeoville top Plainfield Central

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Friday was a beautiful night for football, even if it was dominated by Thunder and Lightning.

“Thunder and Lightning, that’s what we call ourselves,” Romeoville senior running Jordan Nettles said of himself and fellow back, Tyree Allen, after a 52-14 Southwest Prairie Conference romp over Plainfield Central.

Nettles and Allen. Either could sport either moniker.

As usual, Nettles was in the spotlight. He broke the school rushing record for a game, totaling 291 yards in 25 carries – surpassing the previous mark of 274 – and scored on runs of 59, 7, 19 and 68 yards as the Spartans (3-5, 3-5) posted their third straight SPC victory.

“The No. 28 kid (Nettles) is a fantastic athlete. He busted the long run (59 yards) on the first series (scoring 22 seconds into the game),” Central coach Jon Pereiro said.

With Nettles leading the charge, Romeoville – which did not punt until the final minute – rushed for 427 yards and put up 502 in all. Allen chipped in 78 rushing yards in 10 carries, scored on runs of 5 and 52 yards and added a third touchdown on the receiving end of a 42-yard pass from Nolan Soper on a flea-flicker off a reverse.

“It was a team effort all the way,” said Nettles, who went over the 1,200yard mark for the season. “Tyree was great, and our O-line [Matt VanMeer-

Romeoville scored on all of its six possessions in building a 38-0 halftime lead. The final points came on Evan Lee’s 35-yard field goal. Lee also converted seven straight extra points for a 10-point night.

“It’s kind of bittersweet after the late start we had to season,” Spartans coach Oliver Gibson said. “We’re starting to figure things out.

“Our defense right down the line was good tonight, and we’re thin there.

Our coaching staff is doing a great job.

I wish we had a couple more weeks together instead of one. The kids deserve more.”

That Spartans’ defense included ends Diego Ibarra and Michael Cicneros, tackles Ampadu and Andrew Kopca, inside linebackers Joe Vasquez and Andres Jara, outside backers Daytwone Burge and Birley Johnson, cornerbacks Ricky McKinney, Xavier Jones and Samuel Horstmann and safety Jorge Ocampo.

Central (0-8, 0-8) was hindered when elusive quarterback Marcus Hayes suffered an ankle injury on the first offensive series and exited for the night. The preliminary prognosis was a sprain.

“It took us out of our game plan,” Pereiro said of Hayes’ injury. “Marcus in an unbelievable athlete throwing and running. He’s a leader, our captain, and him being out had an impact on us. We have progressed along the way this year, but we need to adjust to things like Marcus’ injury better than we did.”

Cameron Cercone stepped in and completed 7 of 14 passes for 85 yards, including a 42-yard touchdown to Tim Cole. However, McKinney and Horstmann intercepted Cercone, and both picks led to scores. McKinney returned his interception 55 yards to the Central 5, with Allen scoring on the next play.

“That pick by their cornerback [McKinney] early in the game was big,” Pereiro said. “He made a great play on a slant.”

Lovell Houston Jr. rushed for 89 yards in 17 carries, one a 5-yard touchdown run, and Doug Cleaves chipped in 51 in six attempts for the Wildcats.

FOOTBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 42, PLAINFIELD EAST 0

Plainfield North defense completes a three-peat

By DENNIS NELSON

Shaw Media correspondent PLAINFIELD – Plainfield North wasted little time spoiling Plainfield East’s senior night. And the Tigers accomplished another historic feat in the process.

North scored twice during the first 2½ minutes Friday night en route to a 42-0 Southwest Prairie Conference road win over the Bengals. The Tigers (6-2, 6-2 in the SPC) won the battle of 119th Street by posting a third straight shutout for the first time in league history. North blanked Joliet Central and Plainfield South the past two weeks.

“I think our defense has certainly improved and gotten better and better each week,” Tigers coach Tim Kane said. “We don’t give up big plays. I’m very proud of our defensive effort, especially the last few weeks.”

“We try to play every game like it’s our last,” senior linebacker Will Stoll said. “We try to hit our opponents hard and keep them down. We’re going to

try and get our fourth shutout next week.”

With 2011 graduate and current Denver Broncos running back Kapri Bibbs on the sideline, North featured a pair of 100-yard rushers. Tyler Hoosman had 11 carries for 117 yards and three touchdowns, all in the first quarter. Carlos Baggett added 120 yards on 13 carries as the Tigers finished with 324 yards of offense.

Brady Miller completed 7 of 8 passes for 124 yards, all in the first half. North ran 15 plays for 171 yards and 11 first downs in the first quarter.

“We played really well in the first quarter, we’re clicking on all cylinders, and it was really nice to put up all those points,” Miller said.

“Brady did a nice job executing; we mixed it up running and throwing the ball, and ‘efficient’ is a good word to describe how we’ve been on offense,” Kane said. “Brady has really improved with each week and has become a real solid quarterback and a leader out there.”

East (2-6, 2-6 in the SPC) totaled 39 yards of offense

for the game.

“We’re having fun, and we want to keep this going,” Stoll said. “All the guys come into the game with great confidence and thinking we’re going to win.”

Hoosman opened the scoring with a 3-yard touchdown run. On East’s first play, Anthony Fumagalli intercepted a pass and ran 45 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 9:39 left in the first quarter. Hoosman scored from 6 and 10 yards out to make it 28-0 lead after a quarter.

Miller hit T.J. Kane from 9 yards away for a 35-0 lead with 10:49 left in the first half. D.J. Donofrio’s 5-yard run with 4:34 left in the half gave the Tigers a 42-0 lead at the half and a running clock for the second half.

“We have really turned it around, and we’ve been efficient the past few weeks,” senior receiver T.J. Kane said. “We’re a pretty hard team to stop right now. We’ve scored 40 or more points and pitched a shutout the last three weeks.”

FOOTBALL: OSWEGO EAST 60, MINOOKA 28

Oswego East cruises to victory over Minooka

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Quarterback Zach Gessner and receiver Isaiah Hill had just connected for the third time, for six points, in Minooka’s must-win Southwest Prairie Conference game Friday night with Oswego East (7-1, 7-1).

Trailing, 28-14, at halftime, the Indians (3-5, 3-5) took the second half kickoff, and Gessner drove the Indians 75 yards in five plays, hitting Hill from 9 yards out to make it 28-21 with 9:53 left in the third quarter.

Gessner, who was replacing the injured John Carnagio, threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns but also suffered four interceptions. His second pick led to a 31-yard touchdown strike from Oswego East quarterback Jaylon

Banks (18 of 26 for 261 yards, five touchdowns) to Colin O’Reilly (four catches, 91 yards, two touchdowns) for a 34-21 lead with 3:10 left in the third quarter.

After stopping the Indians on a fourth-and-inch play at the Minooka 29 late in the third quarter, East scored the next 26 points and cruised to a 60-28 victory.

Hill (nine catches, 122 yards, three touchdowns) raced 64 yards with a swing pass from Gessner With Brennan Loughran’s conversion, which pulled the Indians within 14-7 after one quarter.

East’s Noah Jackson’s pick-six of a Gessner pass from 29 yards out made it 21-7 midway through the second quarter. After East scored, the Gessner-Hill combo struck again from 4 yards out to pull the Indians within 28-14 at the half.

With East leading, 34-21, late in the third quarter, the Indians faced a fourth down and an inch at their 29.

Gessner appeared to have picked up the first down on a sneak, but confusion reigned. Two measurements later, the Indians turned the ball over.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Iowa-bound Ivory Kelly-Martin (26 carries, 130 yards, two touchdowns) ran 29 yards for a score, and the rout was on.

Gessner complete 26 of 39 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns, with the four interceptions. Hill added 73 yards on two rushing attempts. Drew Turek caught eight passes for 68 yards and rushed for 29 yards on five carries and a touchdown. Elijah Williams ran for 82 yards and grabbed five passes for 41.

“We were right there with them in the third quarter,” Hill said. “We didn’t make a couple of plays, and the game just got away from us. Zach [Gessner] is a good quarterback. He had a big night. He got me the ball.”

With the loss, Minooka is eliminated from playoff contention. The Indians will host Plainfield South on Friday.

“We made some big mistakes that hurt us,” Minooka coach Paul Forsythe said. “Zach Gessner is going to be a fine quarterback. He threw the ball very well. The interceptions were due to his inexperience. I told him that sometimes you have to go through some bad times before achieving your rewards.

“Isaiah Hill is a great player and had another great night. We’ll have our playoff game with our rival Plainfield South here next week.”

PLAINFIELD – You can’t win if you can’t score.

Unfortunately for Plainfield South coach Bill Bicker and his Cougars, that story is being told – and retold – at the worst possible time. Two weeks and zero points.

Oswego senior running back Drew White rushed for 160 yards on 34 carries and a touchdown while the defense allowed only 72 yards of total offense and had an interception return for a touchdown to propel the Panthers to a 21-0 Southwest Prairie Conference victory Friday over South.

“There were situations tonight where we just needed to make plays, and we didn’t,” Bicker said. “It’s not because of a lack of effort.”

In addition to White, quarterback Levi Olson (8 of 16, 152 yards, TD) and senior wideout Elliott Pipkin (four catches, 104 yards, TD) also hurt the Cougars.

Defensive back Kyle Keeton made a big play with a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown.

“Plainfield South always, always plays us tough,” Oswego coach Brian Cooney said. “We told our kids that, and hopefully they bought into that. That is a good team we played, but we have to be better.”

Although Oswego compiled 337 yards of total offense, the Panthers might have been their own worst enemy, turning the ball over Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com three times.

South (4-4, 4-4) was led by running back Oswego’s Drew White advances the ball through Plainfield South’s defense Friday at Plainfield South High School in Joliet. The Cougars fell to Nick Portz (nine carries, 34 yards) and wideout Tom Macari (two catches, 27 yards). the Panthers, 21-0.

Oswego (8-0, 8-0) couldn’t have asked for a better start as the defense forced a three-andout, and then the offense put together a fiveplay, 64-yard drive that was capped by a Olson to Pipkin 51-yard touchdown play that put the Panthers up, 7-0.

“Our guy falls down and he goes in for the score – and plays like that happen,” Bicker said.

“We stood tall when we needed to, and that was great to see.”

South had its best scoring chance later in the first quarter, but wideout Alex Welter on a fourth-down play could not hang on to Nick Deppe’s pass in the end zone.

Later in the half, an interception in the end zone by the Cougars’ Angel Nixon thwarted an Oswego drive and South trailed only 7-0 at halftime.

“We told the boys at halftime that the opportunity was right there only being down one score,” Bicker said. “We really did not play that great in the first half, but we felt good about ourselves and the position we were in.”

Oswego capitalized quickly in the second half, taking the kickoff and going 70 yards in five plays capped by a White 29-yard touchdown run that made it 14-0.

“Drew [White] is our workhorse,” Cooney said. “I can’t say enough about him. He practices the way that he plays. He doesn’t take days off or plays off.”

South will have one more shot at becoming playoff eligible when visiting Minooka this week in the regular-season finale.

“It’s win or go home, obviously, next week,” Deppe said. “We just have to get going offensively.”

40 FOOTBALL: PLANO 28, R-C 7

Plano stifles Reed-Custer in red zone

By KRISTIN SHARP

ksharp@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – The pregame celebration on Friday’s senior night started with fireworks, but Reed-Custer could not continue that spark on the football field.

Three missed opportunities in the red zone proved the difference in the Comets’ 28-7 Interstate Eight crossover loss to Plano (6-2), eliminating Reed-Custer (3-5) from the playoff picture.

“We did a lot of things we set out to do,” Reed-Custer coach Mark Wolf said.

“This is a team that everyone said we had no chance against, and I thought our kids played hard. It’s frustrating in that we seem to be making the same mistakes that we’ve been making for quite some time, and it’s the mental stuff. Until we can get that flushed out, we’re going to have games when we say ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda.’ ” Plano also endured its share of frustrations – starting with the opening kickoff.

Israel Adeoti appeared to have scored, but a penalty on the Reapers’ special teams negated it. Then, starting from its 45-yard line, Plano put together a six-play drive that ended with a 26-yard touchdown by Jay Winter.

Reed-Custer had an immediate answer with a 77-yard pass play from sophomore quarterback Josh Loomis to Jaxon Hendershot to the Plano 16, but Loomis was sacked for an 8-yard loss on third down, and the Coalers were stopped short on a fourth-down run.

That was a repeating theme.

After Plano went up, 14-0, Reed-Custer drove 55 yards to the Plano 19, but a personal foul and an incomplete pass on fourth-and-19 ended the threat. Plano added a third consecutive score for a 21-0 lead to start the second quarter.

Reed-Custer used up nearly all of the third-quarter clock with a 15-play drive that was riddled with penalties. But after a false-start penalty, the Comets again came up short after an incompletion on fourthand-10 from the 13.

Reed-Custer punted just once early in the fourth quarter before preventing the shutout with 4:55 left to play. Vinny Vercelote broke a 46-yard run to make it 28-7.

The Comets became the third team to hold Plano’s explosive offense to 30 points or less.

“We have some young assistants that really stepped up,” Wolf said. “Corey Mikula took over the defensive play calling, and he was instrumental in putting the game plan together. The kids responded well. If we make a few more tackles, it’s even closer than it was.”

After doubling his total against the Thunderbolts, the question now is whether any team would want to throw the ball in his direction again.

His three interceptions of Andrew’s Ryan Summers in the first half set the tone in the Knights’ 4913 victory that moved them to 6-2 (4-2 SouthWest Suburban), guaranteed a playoff spot and set up an opportunity to earn a first-round home game with a win over Metea Valley this week.

“We knew he was the best athlete on their team, and we had to shut him down to win the game,” Nigro said of Summers. “We knew he could throw the ball and run. All we had to do is stop him, and that’s it. The game’s over.”

Nigro did so almost single-handedly. He returned his first pickoff 41 yards for a touchdown on the opening series. He ran the second pick to the Andrew 27, setting up Central’s fourth score in the opening 16 minutes.

“Anytime you have three interceptions, it’s a special night.”

Jeremy Cordell

Lincoln-Way Central football coach His final interception broke Andrew’s back. The Thunderbolts (0-8,06) were on Central’s 7. An Andrew score would have cut the gap to two touchdowns, but Summers’ flick to the right was grabbed by Nigro in stylish fashion, ending the threat.

“Anytime you have three interceptions, it’s a special night,” Knights coach Jeremy Cordell said. “Players make plays when it counts.”

“They shouldn’t have thrown the ball in my direction the whole game,” Nigro said. “It was all my coaches and my teammates.”

One of whom, secondary mate Alec Robustelli, contributed the fourth interception on Andrew’s seventh possession.

The Knights’ attack was multi-faceted, piling up 443 yards, 261 on the ground, with Nico Muto scoring on 3-, 2- and 3-yard runs, Matt Pollack rambling in from the 20 and 23 and

Hunter Campbell dancing in from the 6 as time expired in the first half.

Campbell (6 of 7, 148 yards) didn’t throw a pass until midway through the second quarter. Pollack rushed for 89 yards on nine tries.

Andrew’s first score came on Summers’ 9-yard pass to Tim Branham with 6:29 left in the second quarter.

The Thunderbolts had a chance to cut the lead to 28-14, but Nigro’s third interception – this one in the end zone – ended that opportunity, and the rout was on.

To Cordell, the night’s most important number wasn’t three, but six – as in victories.

“Nobody can take that away from them,” Cordell said. “They worked very hard to be where they’re at. It’s been a long time since Lincoln-Way Central’s had six wins going into Week 9.”

Now comes the quest for No. 7, which – under the IHSA’s 1-through-32 seeding for Class 7A (and Class 8A) – should get the Knights a home game in the first round of the playoffs. They could end up as high as the 10th seed if everything breaks in their favor.

“We definitely have a shot, with playoff points and everything else,” Cordell said.

FOOTBALL: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 42, THORNRIDGE 0

Lincoln-Way West blanks Thornridge

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – After suffering three straight defeats, the longest losing streak since its initial season of 2009, Lincoln-Way West’s football team badly needed a victory when it hosted Thornridge on Friday.

And the Warriors did just that, grabbing a 35-0 halftime lead before getting a running clock in the third quarter as they rolled to a 42-0 SouthWest Suburban Conference win.

Justin LaBuhn (15 for 138 rushing) scored on runs of 55, 36, 36 and 2 yards, while Cal Pohrte (9 of 15, 89 passing) ran in from 2 and 1 yards out to account for the touchdowns for West (5-3, 3-2), which needs a win at Sandburg this week to assure a playoff spot.

“Our guys have stayed remarkably positive the last three weeks,” West coach Dave Ernst said. “It’s such a great group of kids, and they’re so hard-working. It wasn’t because we weren’t playing hard –

we just got beat. We were all struggling after losing three in a row, but no one quit and everyone kept fighting. We played better today, but we have to stay healthy since we lost three guys in the first quarter.”

The 42 points is the Warriors’ highest total of the season. They had scored 39 points in their last four games, when they failed to get more than 14 points in any.

Thornridge (5-3, 2-3) had been averaging 27 points, but was limited it to 64 yards of offense and was blanked for the first time. West’s defense, which is allowing 13 points a game, recorded its second shutout.

“We had to get back to the fundamentals,” Pohrte said. “We weren’t blocking right, our passing game wasn’t connecting well, and we didn’t execute in the red zone. So we’ve just worked on that every day in practice. Our running game was fantastic with Justin just running over people, and we had good blocking up front, and our defense has been outstanding. Our team

has heart. I’m proud of the guys for working hard this week on the fundamentals.”

Leading the way on defense was Danny Allen, who had six solo tackles, three for loss, and a fumble recovery. Trevor Schmidt and Jake Dudeck each had four solo stops, while Collin Domanus and Trey Telez contributed three solo tackles apiece.

The Falcons, who got off to 4-0 start, have lost three of their last four and must beat Thornwood in order to make the postseason.

“We went through a little dry spell, but we’ve got all the gears turning now and have come together and had two great weeks of practice, so we’re back at it now,” Schmidt said.

“We’re looking for a win in our last game and hopefully make a push in the playoffs. When we had the three losses, we all showed character. No one was blaming anyone or mad at each other, but instead we came together. And that’s why we got this win, and we’re back at it now.”

of seniors.”

After his 96-yard kickoff return against Fenwick last week, Celtics defensive back Gaosh Williams again had more than 100 return yards against the Ramblers. Williams also was outstanding at his defensive back position, breaking up three of Herion’s passes.

“We played hard throughout and made some mental mistakes early, which hurt us,” Williams said. “Loyola is a great program and are deserving of its No. 1 ranking in the state. I really felt I did a good job today of pressing their receivers. I take pride in that side of my game.

“We really want to come out Friday and get a win for our seniors, and it would be gratifying to knock Mount Carmel out of the playoffs. It’s been a long time since they haven’t been in the playoffs.”

With the loss, the Celtics for the second consecutive season will not be participating in the state playoffs. Archrival Mount Carmel (4-4, 0-3) will visit Bishop Kaffer Stadium on Friday night for the Celtics’ 2016 finale. A Providence victory would knock Mount Carmel out of the playoffs for the first time since 1985.

“Loyola certainly showed us why they are the top-ranked team in the state. They hit us quickly – and not being a great come-from-behind team, took us out of our game plan,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said.

“I was proud of the way we played in the second half. Gaosh Williams had a fine all-around game for us. He was outstanding, taking it to the outstanding Loyola receivers. It would be great for our seniors to close out the season with a win against a very good Mount Carmel team Friday night.”

FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Late heroics lift Coal City over Peotone in critical game STAFF, SUBMITTED REPORTS COAL CITY – Take away one play, and Peotone handily would have outgained, out-possessed and outscored Coal City Friday in a critical Interstate Eight Conference crossover game.

Unfortunately for Peotone (4-4), Christian Johnson’s 60-yard touchdown pass to Kaleb Spreitzer on fourth-and-25 with 1:02 to play counted. Largely because of it, the Coalers (5-3) won, 10-6, and became playoff eligible.

There was little offense either way in the first half.

Peotone did get deep into Coaler territory early in the second quarter, settling for a 30-yard Demetrius Christou field-goal attempt that fell short. Coal City got as far as the Peotone 7 later in the quarter before going backward a bit, and Cal Smolik got the Coalers on the board 0:32 before halftime with a 33yard field goal.

Peotone opened the second half with an 11-play, 83-yard drive that Chandler Gartner capped with a 33-yard touchdown run. The Blue Devils earned a total of six first downs and chewed up about 12 minutes of clock on their next two drives, although both ended in punts.

Meanwhile, the Coalers went threeand-out on their first two post-halftime possessions. When they took over at their 15 down, 6-3, with 3:03 remaining, they had held the ball for less than four minutes and gained 8 net yards of offense in the half. Gartner had rushed

for 113 yards in the half himself by that point.

HIGHLIGHTS Wilmington 62, Sandwich 28: Owen

Weaver rushed for 241 yards in 24 carries and scored on runs of 18, 1, 62 and 2 yards as Wilmington (8-0) rolled over Interstate Eight Conference crossover foe Sandwich (1-7). Jeff Treadman completed both of his passes for 44 yards and one touchdown to Anders Almberg.

And Dustin Kelly had three solo tackles, one for loss, and intercepted a pass for the Wildcats, who led at the half, 34-14.

Lemont 43, Tinley Park 7: Spencer Nagel completed 9 of 12 passes for 155 yards and touchdowns to Bret Bolin and Matt Slee to power Lemont (8-0, 5-0) to the South Suburban Blue victory. Austin Nagel caught four passes for 69 yards, Bolin three for 42. Slee’s only catch was a 30-yard touchdown. Jake Kirkman rushed eight times for 85 yards and two scores.

Bradley 38, Lincoln-Way East 21: Bradley (8-0, 5-0) jumped to a 28-0 first-quarter lead with the help two pass interception returns for touchdowns, and Lincoln-Way East (6-2, 4-2) never could recover in the SouthWest Suburban loss.

Bolingbrook 23, Thornwood 16: The Raiders (4-4, 3-3) kept their playoff hopes alive with the SouthWest Suburban win over Thornwood (4-4, 1-4). Bolingbrook must win next week at unbeaten Homewood-Flossmoor to qualify.

WILMETTE – In a must-win Chicago Catholic Blue game, the Providence Celtics made the 60-mile bus ride Saturday to the North Shore to take on powerhouse Loyola Academy.

The defending Class 8A state champions (8-0, 3-0) wasted no time in hitting the Celtics (3-5, 0-3) with a sledgehammer – the right arm of senior quarterback Tommy Herion.

In the first 20 minutes, Herion completed 16 of his 25 passes for 235 yards and five touchdowns. With 3:13 left in the third quarter, Loyola’s Kyle Rock crashed in from the 2-yard line to start the 40-point running clock as the Ramblers led, 42-0, en route to a 42-7 Chicago Catholic victory, their 22nd consecutive win.

Quarterback Jared Drake raced 30 yards for the lone score for Providence with eight minutes remaining, long after the outcome had been decided. Eduardo Favella’s successful conversion completed the game scoring.

Drake completed seven of his 20 passes for 73 yards. Richie Warfield led the Celtics’ ground attack with 12 carries for 59 yards and caught three passes for 10 yards. Caden Kalinowski (two catches, 42 yards) and Dakota Kotowski (two catches, 21 yards) each hauled in a pair of Drake passes.

“We didn’t have a good start today, and we needed one against the top team in the state,” Kalinowski said. “It was a wake-up call for me, playing against a great defensive back like Loyola’s Ian Swenson. I did OK against him. It was a lot of fun. We want to come out next week and get a win for our great group

42 FOOTBALL: LOCKPORT 35, STAGG 0

Cooper, Karli lead Lockport in Davis’ absence

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent PALOS HILLS – Lockport secured a place in the Class 8A playoffs Friday night with its sixth victory, beating SouthWest Suburban Conference foe Stagg, 35-0.

It was only the third time since the undefeated regular season of 2004 that the Porters have had six victories in the regular season. The others were in 2009 and 2011.

Lockport (6-2, 4-2) was missing its starting quarterback, Ben Davis, who became ill this week with the possibility of mononucleosis.

“We sent Ben [Davis] home from practice on Wednesday because he was sick,” Lockport coach Dan Starkey said. “On Thursday, he was out of school, and he was just too sick to play tonight. He had a test for mono, but we haven’t heard the results.”

Wide receiver Patrick Cooper filled the spot in the first half as the Porters built a 14-0 lead. Cooper, a senior, has taken snaps all season during practice as the backup and was the starting quarterback on the sophomore team

two seasons ago. He threw one pass in the first half as Lockport ran the ball 28 times for 160 positive yards.

“It really felt good out there – I felt ready to help our team,” Cooper said.

“I have been taking snaps in practice as the backup, and I did play quarterback on the sophomore team. I really have to give credit to the offensive line and our depth at tailback. Our line is not the biggest, but they get the job done. It also seems like whoever we have at tailback, they gain the yards.”

That was the case against Stagg (08, 0-6). Junior Tavares Moore rushed for 208 yards on 27 carries. He scored two first-half touchdowns on runs of 2 yards and 56 yards, the long scamper coming 25 seconds before the break.

He added a fourth-quarter touchdown on a 23-yard run.

But the story of the second half was at the quarterback position for Lockport. Sophomore Jacob Karli took the helm after playing the first half of the sophomore game, also a 35-0 win, and showed that the future is bright for the Porters.

Karli was 3 of 5 passing for 38 yards

“This was a great team victory.

I’m so happy for these kids.”

Lockport football coach

and rushed six times for 12 yards, but had a 42-yard touchdown run called back on a penalty. However, it was more than stats for the rookie. He brought a spark to the Porters and proved to be a dual threat.

He directed a 13-play drive that took more than seven minutes off the clock in the third quarter. It culminated with Karli picking up a fumbled snap from center, running to his left and hitting Austin Hoffman with a 20yard touchdown pass to put the Porters up, 21-0.

“At halftime the coaches told me that I was going in,” Karli said. “I felt pretty comfortable after the first couple of plays. I got rid of the butterflies.

The varsity game is a lot quicker, and there are some big boys out there. Going forward, I know I’m going to have

to step up my game. I felt good, and tonight was the most exciting time in my life.”

The Lockport defense pitched a shutout for the first time this season, something the Porters have been striving for all season.

“Coming into tonight and not having Ben on the offense, we had to be better,” defensive end David Balderrama said. “I told the team that we can’t just have a great night, we needed to be better than that. I’m excited, and making the playoffs is something I’ve wanted since my freshman year.”

“This was a great team victory.

I’m so happy for these kids,” Starkey said. “We had another sophomore, Ryan Barth, who did an outstanding job with taking over for Ben as our kicker, and we didn’t miss a beat.

“It feels great to get to six wins. We now expect to make the playoffs every year. A conference title is still a big goal to achieve. We will have both Patrick [Cooper] and Jacob [Karli] work this coming week at quarterback, and I expect both to see action in the game next week against Lincoln-Way East.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS 24, DAVENPORT UNIVERSITY 21

USF gets late field goal to get past Davenport

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – Grayson Barnette, the University of St. Francis kicker, had a dream come true Saturday afternoon.

With only four seconds remaining in a tie with Davenport University at Memorial Stadium, Barnette hit the game-winning 24-yard field goal to give the Saints a 24-21 nonconference victory.

“Every kicker has this dream,” said Barnette, a sophomore. “I’ve had this dream every year, and I tell everyone who will listen – just give me the opportunity. Well, I got that opportunity today, and it is everything I thought it would be.

“I knew they [Davenport] would call time out. But I stay in my routine. If the ball is down, I kick it and go back to the sideline, take my helmet off, then repeat. That is exactly what happened.

I’m so excited.”

But the kick never would have happened if it hadn’t been for defensive back Josh Woodard. The junior intercepted a Panthers pass with less than 30 seconds remaining and returned it

48 yards to the Davenport 3-yard line with nine seconds left.

Saints quarterback Don Butkus took the snap on the next play, centered the ball on the field and called a timeout.

That set up the Barnette game-winner.

“Coach was telling us that they may try and go deep or try something a little sneaky on that last possession,” Woodard said. “I noticed that a slant may be coming, I read the quarterback’s eyes and jumped the route. Man, I was running as fast as I could down that sideline and almost made it all the way, but I got tired.”

The Saints defense came alive in the second half after giving up 21 first-half points, and they trailed, 21-14, at the break.

“We talked at halftime that we have to win this game,” Woodard said. “We knuckled down and got the job done.

Our offense played solid, but the defense needed to do their part, and we shut them out in the second half.”

St. Francis recovered the second-half kickoff, as the wind played havoc with a short, high kick by Luke Nelson. Three plays later, Butkus hit Lexus Jackson with a 17-yard touch-

“I noticed that a slant may be coming, I read the quarterback’s eyes and jumped the route.

Man, I was running as fast as I could down that sideline and almost made it all the way, but I got tired.”

Josh Woodward

USF junior defensive back down strike to tie the game at 21.

Jackson was the Saints’ leading receiver with seven catches for 61 yards.

The game didn’t start well for the Saints (3-4), as Davenport (4-3), a firstyear NAIA program that will switch to NCAA Division II next year, scored on its first two possessions.

USF responded with a six-play drive that covered 72 yards as Butkus hit Brandon Ruffin with a 17-yard touchdown pass to make it 14-7 with 13:21 left before the half.

Butkus ended the day by going 22 of

33 in the air for 164 yards, with the two touchdowns and one interception.

After a 50-yard touchdown pass by Davenport on the next possession to go up, 21-7, the Saints put together a 14-play drive that consumed 6:41 off the clock, only to have the drive end with a Panthers interception.

Not to be denied, the St. Francis defense forced the Panthers to punt, and running back Jordan Smith ran 56 yards up the middle to score with 3 minutes left until half to make it 21-14.

Smith carried the ball 16 times for 98 yards on the afternoon.

“I knew they [Davenport] would be well-prepared,” St. Francis coach Joe Curry said. “They have an excellent coach in Lou Esposito, and that is a great football team we just beat. They will be one of the best Division II programs in the country next year.

“We, as coaches, have told this team that if you continue to work hard, it will pay off. Getting everything in order, not just with football, but everything. That showed the last two weeks of how we have played. There is still plenty of work in front of us, but I’m so proud of these kids.”

West started that sequence in the 30th minute when Pranckus sent in a free kick in front of the net and Spesia headed it in. Just over two minutes later, Rodrigo Torres got past a defender and rolled in a successful shot as the keeper rushed toward him.

But just as it looked as if the Tigers would take a 2-0 halftime lead, the Steelmen responded. Shortly after Leonardo Haro headed away a try

“We’re so even, and it’s been competitive every time,” Spesia said.

“There were a lot of fans, and that only built the excitement and the intensity of the game. It’s my senior year and an elimination game, so all that was important was to get the win. Everybody put it all out there on the line, and that’s a credit to Central and our boys.

What I’ll miss most about high school soccer is West versus Central.”

Central tied it at 2 in the 48th minute when Castillo sent a long pass into the box and Gonzalez headed a ball in the net. But West answered in the 50th minute when Aaron Sanchez connected from right in front. The Steelmen got the equalizer in the 60th minute

“It was a really good game,” Pantoja said. “I give credit to them for coming back, and I also give credit to everyone for putting the hard work in. It was an

intense game, and you had to give 100 percent because if you didn’t, you’d end up losing. The whole atmosphere made things intense, so it was a whole different game out there. I love these types of games since they show school pride.”

JOLIET – After splitting a pair of nail-biters during the regular season, it was appropriate that the boys soccer squads from Joliet West and Joliet Central would have a similar contest when they met Friday on the east side in the Class 3A playoffs.

And although it was only a regional quarterfinal, the rivals played with such passion and the crowd displayed so much enthusiasm that it had the feel of a sectional clash.

Not surprisingly, the rubber match couldn’t be resolved in 80 minutes. The sides went an extra 20 minutes and through penalties before the Tigers finally emerged with a 4-3 win.

West (10-12-1) prevailed 6-5 in kicks and now advances to Tuesday’s 4 p.m.

Normal Community Regional semifinals against the hosts.

“I was very proud of our boys and with the way that they responded,” Tigers coach Patrick Korthauer said.

“We’ve played them enough to know them well, but these boys also grew up together. When you beat a team that you’re so close to, there’s almost a bitter taste in your mouth when it happens because you feel for them, but we’ll take it.

“I thought that we played extremely well for the first 30 or 35 minutes, but then they got that goal at the end of the half to kind of set the tone for the second half, where they played extremely well. Fighting back after they tied it up showed a lot of heart, which is something that we’ve preached a lot to play through the season. They showed their resolve today.”

In the penalties, the Steelmen scored first and forced the Tigers to answer each step along the way, which went to a second round. Erick Ceballos, Leonardo Gonzalez, Ivan Estrada, Juan Vazquez and Brian Castillo made their tries for Central, while Ethan Pranckus, Tim Spesia, Raul Martinez, Erik Vega, Anthony Pantoja and Allan Monroy did likewise for West.

“I told our kids to hold their head high,” Steelmen coach Eduardo Contreras said. “The soccer gods weren’t with us for most of the season, but they played well and put everything on the line. Some kids came out of nowhere and made saves on balls that we thought would go in. I told the kids if this is the worst thing that happens to them, they’ll have a good life.”

In a long match where many players went down with injuries or cramped up, there were nearly 70 minutes where no one could score and a span of about half an hour when all six goals

44 GIRLS/BOYS CROSS COUNTRY: SOUTHWEST PRAIRIE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

Minooka girls, Plainfield S. boys win SPC titles

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – The championship phase of the high school cross country season began this weekend as conference titles were held across the state.

On Saturday, the Southwest Prairie Conference meet was held at Channahon Community Park, and the titles were a repeat from a year ago.

Minooka, ranked No.2 in the state, easily won the girls title with 25 points. It was Minooka’s fifth SPC title in a row. Oswego finished second (71), with Plainfield North (88), Oswego East (101) and Plainfield South (112) rounding out the top five.

Individually, Minooka went onetwo with Emily Shelton winning, covering the 3-mile course in 17:22, and Mackenzie Callahan following in 17:28. Ashley Tutt was fourth (17:41), Vivian Van Eck was seventh (18:07) and Sarah Weed was 11th (18:42).

The Indians’ sixth and seventh runners were Julia Dames (14th) and Katelyn Gall (15th). All seven received all-conference accolades, as the top 18 finishers receive the award.

“Being the fifth runner is an important spot,” Weed said. “But I just go out there and race. I really don’t feel any added pressure.”

Tutt and Callahan, the only two seniors among the top seven, had mixed emotions on running for the last time on their home course. It is a venue that has provided not only them, but the Indians program, much success.

“The weather was nice today, and we will never race this course again,” Tutt said, who fell on a muddy turn during the race.

“It’s really sad,” Callahan said.

“I really didn’t think about it much until right now.”

Plainfield North sophomore Julianna Stogsdill finished third and was happy with the result.

“I felt really good today, and this was the race to do it,” Stogsdill said.

“The Minooka girls are so good, and this gives me the confidence moving forward that I can race with anyone.”

Her North teammate, Megan Patton, was sixth, as both earned all-conference.

South was led by Greta Carlberg’s ninth place and the 12th-place run of Alexis Grigg. Joliet West had

Oswego East (68), Plainfield North (91) and Oswego (103) completed the top five teams.

Minooka had three in the top seven, as Soren Knudsen continued his winning ways in 14:54. Jordan Freese was fifth (15:51), and Mark Dames finished seventh (15:55).

“Wow, they ran awesome,” Crowe said. “It’s about teamwork, and they continued to move up throughout the race together. They are getting better each week, and they have responded so well to what we have asked. I’m so proud of this group.”

2016 ALCS - GAME 2: INDIANS 2, BLUE JAYS 1

Miller dazzling as Cleveland edges Toronto

By TOM WITHERS

The Associated Press CLEVELAND – They don’t have a true superstar, an embarrassment of All-Stars or a celebrity following. That’s the NBA champion Cavaliers, who play next door.

The Indians, however, have depth, chemistry, one of baseball’s best managers and quite possibly the most dominant bullpen weapon in the game.

Andrew Miller has Cleveland two wins from the World Series – and Toronto batters flailing.

Josh Tomlin baffled Blue Jays batters for nearly six innings and Miller, acquired just ahead of the trade deadline for exactly these pressure-packed October moments, blew them away as Cleveland edged Toronto, 2-1, Saturday to take 2-0 lead in the AL Championship Series.

Carlos Santana homered off 20-game winner J.A. Happ, and Francisco Lindor had an RBI single for the Indians.

They won the second straight tense game in this series and have won five straight postseason games for the first time in their 116-year history.

An afterthought in August, Tomlin has emerged as an unlikely October star for the Indians. He allowed one run and three hits in 52⁄3 innings for his second win of the postseason – he won the Game 3 Division Series clincher in Boston – before Cleveland manager Terry Francona handed the ball to the magnificent Miller, who is making the Blue Jays look like Little Leaguers.

The lanky left-hander struck out the side in the seventh, two more in the eighth and has 10 strikeouts in 32⁄3 innings in the series. He has not allowed a run in 16 career postseason innings.

“He’s one of the best I’ve ever seen,” said closer Cody Allen , who worked the ninth to close the three-hitter for his second straight save. “He goes out there for two innings, shuts them down and gets a lot of swings and misses. Whenever you get to come in behind a guy like that, you’re in a pretty good spot.”

So are the Indians, who had never been up 2-0 in four previous ALCS trips.

Miller has been the difference so far, blowing through the Blue Jays. Before getting a groundout in the eighth, he struck out seven straight over two games.

CHICAGO – Kelly Begley could not suppress a smile as she approached Wrigley Field before Saturday’s game.

Yet Begley’s excitement had zero to do with Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. She was returning to her workplace as paramedic in charge at Chicago’s Engine No. 78 fire station.

“I saved a guy,” Begley told Chicago fire Lt. John Sampson as he greeted her in front of the station. “He’s at Weiss (Memorial Hospital).”

Her next word carried extra emphasis.

“Alive.”

It’s not every day that a paramedic saves a man’s life after he is rescued from the choppy waters of Lake Michigan. It’s not every day that the Cubs host a thrilling playoff game on a cool October night. It’s not every day that the life-saving paramedic and the odds-on favorites to win the World Series happen to work across the street from one another.

Welcome to Wrigleyville.

If there is another fire station in the United States quite like this one, Sampson

is not aware of it. Now in his 37th year at the station on Waveland Avenue, the 60-year-old fire lieutenant has seen enough to know that life can be terrible and wonderful and everything in between.

The Cubs offer their fans – including Sampson – an escape from the hard times.

“I pretty much watch every game when I’m here and when I’m home,” Sampson said. “I was watching them when we had a black-andwhite TV. You probably don’t remember that, do you?”

Longtime Cubs fans remember. They remember 1969. They remember 1984.

They remember 2003.

This year might be different.

“Both of my parents are gone now,” Sampson said. “It would be more for them – if it ever happens. But I’m not quite sure. I’ve been here before. Cautiously optimistic is all I can say.”

The firehouse was built in 1915, one year after the opening of Wrigley Field. It holds one fire engine and one ambulance. First responders work shifts of 24 hours on followed by 48 hours off. The station averages 15 to 20 runs a day, with the majority of its calls pertaining to medical emergencies.

ILLINOIS 24, RUTGERS 7

BIG TEN HIGHLIGHTS

Foster scores twice, Mosely returns pick in Illinois win The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Riding a four-game losing streak, all Illinois coach Lovie Smith wanted was for a couple of his players to make some big plays.

Halfback Kendrick Foster did it early, Darius Mosely came through late and the Illini defense stepped up all game in forcing five turnovers in a 24-7 win Saturday over mistake-prone Rutgers.

“We feel good about winning the football game, yes,” Smith said.

“About this one game. You have to celebrate every game to feel good about it. Sense of relief? Yeah. You can give it a few different descriptions. There definitely was a lot of excitement. There’s nothing like seeing a locker room after a big win and that’s what we had today.”

Foster, who rushed for 108 yards on 21 carries, ran 5 yards for a touchdown and caught a 5-yard scoring pass from first-time starter Chayce Crouch in helping the Fighting Illini (2-4, 1-2 Big Ten) win for the first time since the season opener.

The Illini defense forced five turnovers, recovering four fumbles and getting the game-clinching, fourth-quarter 75-yard interception return for a touchdown from Mosely, who also had a fumble recovery.

“We started him for the first time at the nickel position and that was probably the play of the game, that

long interception return,” Smith said. “... Times like when you have a four game losing streak going you need someone to elevate their game.

He did.”

Gio Rescigno, who replaced Chris Laviano at the start of the second half, threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Nick Arcidiacono on the first play of the fourth quarter to snap an 11-quarter scoring drought and get Rutgers (2-5, 0-4) within 17-7.

It wasn’t enough to prevent the Scarlet Knights from losing their fourth straight game.

Rescigno had Rutgers at the Illini 25 with a first down on the next series, but Mosely intercepted his short pass to the left side. The clincher came after play was delayed a couple of minutes for an injury Scarlet Knights lineman J.J. Denman.

“It didn’t work out the way we thought it would, but it happens,” Rescigno said. “You have to get over it and move on to the next play.”

The first half was dominated by mistakes.

After having his first-quarter TD run following a muffed punt nullified by a holding penalty, Crouch threw an interception in the end zone.

Laviano (7 of 12 for 62 yards) and halfback Robert Martin both lost fumbles in Illinois’ territory. The low point for the Scarlet Knights might have been seeing Laviano and Rescigno mishandle snaps in the shotgun formation on fourth-down plays.

Northwestern rolls past Michigan State, 54-40

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Justin Jackson rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns, and Northwestern moved the ball almost at will after a slow start, beating Michigan State, 54-40, Saturday night to hand the Spartans their fourth straight defeat.

Clayton Thorson threw for 281 yards and three TDs for the Wildcats, who rallied from an early 14-0 deficit. Michigan State (2-4, 0-3 Big Ten) is now mired in its longest losing streak in coach Mark Dantonio’s 10 seasons at the helm.

The Spartans hadn’t lost four in a row since 2006, and this was the most points they’d allowed since a 56-21 loss to Wisconsin in 2003.

Northwestern (3-3, 2-1) will host Indiana next weekend.

No. 10 Nebraska hangs on for 27-22 victory at Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS – Terrell Newby ran for one score and Tommy Armstrong Jr. hooked up with Stanley Morgan Jr. on a 72-yard touchdown pass with 9:57 left to play, helping No. 10 Nebraska hold off Indiana, 27-22, Saturday.

The 10th-ranked Cornhuskers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) won their seventh straight game overall and their fifth in a row in this series, last played in 1978. It’s also the first time since 2001 that Nebraska has won its first six.

But the improving Hoosiers (3-3, 1-2) didn’t make it easy as it tried to beat its first top 10 team since 1987.

Smith runs for 2 TDs as Minnesota beats Maryland, 31-10

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The way Minnesota ran the ball and performed defensively against Maryland, it really didn’t matter who played quarterback.

That’s not taking anything away from Conor Rhoda, who did everything asked of him in his first college start.

Rodney Smith ran for 144 yards and two touchdowns, Rhoda threw for a score and the Golden Gophers cruised past error-prone Maryland, 31-10, Saturday.

Starting for senior Mitch Leidner, who was out with a concussion, Rhoda went 7 for 15 for 82 yards without an interception. The former walk-on had previously thrown only two passes in a mop-up role.

Minnesota (4-2, 1-2 Big Ten) limited Maryland (4-2, 1-2 Big Ten) to 100 yards and four first downs through three quarters in building a 17-0 lead.

Wadley rushes for 170 yards as Iowa tops Purdue, 49-35

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Iowa scored touchdowns on five of its six opening-half possessions and defeated Purdue, 49-35, Saturday, winning its school-record ninth consecutive road game.

The Hawkeyes (5-2, 3-1 Big Ten) broke the former school record of eight consecutive road victories set from 1920-23. Of the nine consecutive road triumphs, eight have been against Big Ten opponents.

Iowa, 3-0 this season in Big Ten road games, completely dominated the first two quarters against Purdue (3-3, 1-2).

‘The Lord isn’t done with you yet’

Margaret Lucas never thought she’d live to be 100

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

J

OLIET – Now that she’s turned 100, Margaret Lucas of Joliet is thinking of slowing down.

She’s the current treasurer for the Joliet chapter of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees – where Lucas is a lifetime member – and assistant accountant for the church she joined in 1961, First Presbyterian in Joliet.

Maybe it’s time to let others pick up those roles, Lucas reasoned. Lucas does, however, have one solid plan for her future, which she said she shared with her cardiologist.

“My goal is to die,” Lucas said. “I don’t know why I’m still here. I’ve done everything I wanted to do and been to every place I want to go. I don’t know why the Lord kept me here 100 years.”

To which Lucas said her cardiologist answered, “The Lord isn’t done with you yet.”

“My goal is to die” may sound like a strange answer – unless you’ve spent time in Lucas’ present. She’s direct and candid, fitting for one who prefers numbers to words.

“I’ve always loved working with figures,” Lucas said. “It’s what I’ve done my entire life.”

Lucas grew up in Indiana. Her father owned a store and her mother was a piano teacher. She graduated in 1934 from Spencer High School.

“I wanted to be a Latin teacher, but that fell through,” Lucas said.

“The war came on and I went to work.”

For 30 and a half years, Lucas worked for the U.S. Department of Defense as a fiscal accountant and budget analyst. In 1972, Lucas earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from Lewis University in Romeoville.

After leaving the U.S. Department of Defense, Lucas worked for the Burr Oak Library system for eight and a half years as a fiscal manager. Lucas retired from Burr Oak in 2010, but she didn’t retire from working.

Lucas said she served as bookkeeper for various libraries and the Troy

Township supervisor. She also took a course on tax preparation and then prepared taxes for local seniors.

For all her skill, Lucas never prepared her own taxes.

“Mine got too complicated when I had those two rental places,” Lucas said.

Both rental properties were in Florida, Lucas said. She has since sold one and currently rents out the other. Hobbies then and now included traveling – Lucas has visited five continents and was re-baptized in the Jordan River – reading (favorite book is “Gone with the Wind”) and attending live musicals (“The Sound of Music” tops her list).

“I have a ticket to one [a musical] next month,” Lucas said.

Lucas is proud that her grandfather Andrew S. Wright joined “the war between the states” at the age of

16 and served for three years. She’s also proud of her 75-year membership in two organizations – Bowling Green Chapter 304 of the Order of the Eastern Star and Beta Sigma Phi International Sorority.

She never married, never had children, and never missed either.

“I loved my career,” Lucas said. “I could not have possibly had a career and then come home and take care of children and the cooking and everything. I just say, ‘The Lord knows what’s best for you.”

Lucas doesn’t like housework – she has hired help – and she prefers eating to cooking, although she can and does cook, albeit reluctantly. She also has no advice for living to 100.

“I have a glass of wine once in a while, but the gals I run around with, they’re not drinkers,” Lucas said.

Except for high blood pressure that “goes up and down” (“I take medication for it”), Lucas is in excellent health.

She used to tell people she had “all her original parts except 26 teeth” but that changed in 2010 when she had her gall bladder removed. Tonsils and

appendix are intact, she added.

Lucas stopped driving just this year and doesn’t regret her decision.

“I don’t feel my eyesight is good enough and if you’re 100 and have an accident,” Lucas said, “you will be blamed.”

What about technology? Well Lucas has a cellphone – but not a smartphone – as well as a computer, but she doesn’t consider herself tech savvy.

“I would love to be a computer expert,” Lucas said. “When something goes wrong, I have to call a repair person.”

She’s outlived her companions and most of her family, but Lucas is far, far from lonely.

“I made new friends,” Lucas said.

Creekside Elementary School fourth-grader Daniella Torres uses an eye dropper to pull vegetable oil from water on Oct. 5 during a simulated oil spill activity in Denise Malik’s class. The class learned about the 1989 Exxon Valdez tanker accident off the coast of Alaska in which hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil were spilled into the ocean. The activity is part of the gifted program’s enrichment science unit. In class, the students used sponges, straws and other tools to remove the oil from a pan of water. They also had to clean the oil off feathers found in the water to represent wildlife that was hurt or killed in the spill.

Home blood pressure monitor vital Dear Dr. K: My doctor told me to check my blood pressure at home, but he didn’t give me many details. Could you provide some guidance?

Dear Reader: Keeping your blood pressure in check is vital to maintaining heart health and preventing stroke. But the way most of us monitor our pressure – by trekking to the doctor’s office for occasional blood pressure checks – is far from ideal.

For one thing, it provides isolated snapshots, rather than a complete picture.

What’s more, measurements at the doctor’s office can be elevated. This phenomenon is known as “white-coat hypertension,” and it may affect as many as 25 percent of people.

Simply put, seeing their doctor – even me!

– tends to raise the blood pressure of some people.

The flip side is “masked” high blood pressure. This is when your blood pressure looks fine in the doctor’s office but is higher at other times. Maybe some people feel more relaxed when they’re in the safety of their doctor’s office. Or perhaps their time in the doctor’s office is the only stress-free period of their day.

Several studies have shown people who monitor their blood pressure at home have it under better control than people who do not. How does home monitoring help? More frequent, and possibly more accurate, information provides more opportunities to fine-tune your lifestyle and medications.

To measure your blood pressure at home, you’ll need a blood pressure cuff.

You can buy a good one at a pharmacy or online for between $40 and $100. Get a cuff that inflates automatically, not one you have to pump up yourself. And get one that fits around your upper arm and shows the results on a large, easy-to-read display. The

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff cuffs that fit around your wrist are less accurate.

To measure your blood pressure: (1) Sit at a table with your arm resting comfortably on it and your feet flat on the floor. It’s easier for most right-handers to take the pressure in the left arm, and vice versa.

(2) Secure the blood pressure cuff snugly but not tightly around your bare upper arm.

(3) Rest your arm on the table in a relaxed posture, with the cuff at about the same level as your heart.

(4) Relax for a minute or two, taking slow deep breaths, and then take the first reading.

(5) Wait for at least two minutes and take another reading.

Take two measurements in the morning and two more in the evening. Take your measurements at about the same time every day. Be consistent about taking them either before or after your coffee and medications. Avoid taking the measurements right after exercising.

I have high blood pressure – fortunately, well controlled by medicine – and I keep an automatic blood pressure monitor at home and at work. (Yes, I know I’ve got the real blood pressure machine at work, but the home monitor is easier.) These help me and my own doctor keep my blood pressure under control.

Covert use of speakerphone makes caller want to clam up Dear Abby: When I call my brother or sister, I expect my call to be private, just between the two of us. However, halfway through the call, other people in the household join the conversation or I’ll hear pots and pans rattling. I consider this to be very rude.

I realize in this era of technology a speakerphone is a convenience, but I feel the caller should be told upfront he or she is on speakerphone rather than realize during the call others have been listening. Am I overly sensitive, or do you think the caller should be told they’re on speaker and who will be listening in? Just a little privacy, please?

– Kathy In South Carolina Dear Kathy: You are not overly sensitive. However, because you know your siblings are in the habit of doing this, you should ask at the beginning of the phone call if you are being put on

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

Volunteer.

The problem is, she keeps all of these things at her house and doesn’t share these gifts with my son and his wife.

They don’t have a lot of clothes for the baby or a high chair. Do you think this is appropriate, or am I out of line to think it isn’t? – Unsure In Kentucky Dear Unsure: If someone buys clothes and shoes for a toddler, common sense dictates they should be kept where the child is dressed in the morning – presumably at home. (A supply of diapers and wipes should be on hand wherever the little one is.) However, because lugging a high chair and toys back and forth could create a problem, I see no reason why they shouldn’t remain at the caregiver’s house.

NordicTrack Solaris C2050 Treadmill. $1600 new, barely used, asking $300. Up to 10mph and 12% grade. Owners manual included. 815-919-1254

Artemus Ward, a 19th-century humorist, said, “Let us all be happy, and live within our means, even if we have to borrow the money to do it with.”

Bridge players are happy with plus scores, even if occasionally they have to “borrow” tricks from opponents’ mistakes. In today’s deal, though, both East and South have chances to make good plays. What are they?

South is in four spades, and West leads his fourth-highest heart. Also, what was West’s more effective lead?

The North hand has eight losers (three spades, two hearts, two diamonds and one club), perfect for a game-invitational raise. But change the spade jack to the spade queen, and that lowers the loser count to seven and -- just -- makes the hand worth a forcing raise.

South has 10 winners: six spades, one heart and three clubs. But he might lose one heart, two diamonds and one club, if the club finesse loses, and West can push a diamond through dummy’s king, with East holding the ace. South must keep West off the lead.

East, knowing his partner is not underleading the ace, should play his heart 10 at trick one, to find out who holds the heart queen.

If South takes that trick, he goes down. The play continues: draw trumps, take a losing club finesse, low-heart lead to West’s queen, diamond shift.

However, if South plays low from his hand at trick one, he is safe.

Lastly, suppose West had led a diamond. Then, if East had won with his 10 and shifted to a heart, four spades would have failed. Nevertheless, it is usually better to lead from shorter suits against trump contracts.
