Picking up the phone in Joliet When the phone rings, you never know what’s coming.

Sometimes it’s a co-worker, sometimes a reader, sometimes a PR person pitching a story or sometimes someone has a question.

This week, my first with The Herald-News, I got all of them.

But I was surprised by a few things, including how positive the callers were overall.

I heard about everything from political races to the local court system to local events and charities to an incident involving a toothbrush. All were appreciated.

Because all newspaper readerships are different.

But the best kind is an engaged readership such as the one here in The Herald-News’ coverage area.

I’ve worked in places where readers didn’t call and I’ve worked in places where the majority of calls were negative. But I hadn’t worked in a place with this much

positivity.

I get it’s a small sample size, and like when a baseball player starts the season out, my experiences the first week might not have been indicative of the whole. But I don’t think that’s true.

And that’s a credit to the community, the excellent staff here and former Editor Kate Schott.

All of you set me up well in my new role here and I appreciate it.

But it’s certainly a learning curve moving into a new community and I thank you guys for helping to guide me through that transition. Because there’s a ton going on here I don’t know about yet, but hopefully I’m becoming more knowledgeable by the day.

So keep those calls coming.

Sometimes we will write a story about what you call about, sometimes we won’t.

But that doesn’t make your call any less important to me.

And, in case you prefer to reach out other ways, I’ve got email, Facebook and a Twitter account along with an old-fashioned mailbox here at the office. Well, technically my mail gets delivered to the box outside my office, but you get the point.

I want to be involved in the community, accessible and someone you can grow to trust the way you did my predecessor.

So don’t be afraid to reach out.

And, one more time, thank you for reading. You are the reason that we exist and I don’t want us to ever lose sight of that.

Crest Hill wants to know more about Stateville plans

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – The city of Crest Hill wants to hear more about the state’s plan to close F House at Stateville Correctional Center before the end of the year.

Gov. Bruce Rauner announced in a newspaper column Oct. 14 that the state would close F House and move its about 350 inmates elsewhere.

Stateville is in Crest Hill, which provides water and sewer services to the prison. The city also includes inmates in its population counts that determine how much Crest Hill gets from certain state and federal taxes.

Mayor Ray Soliman said the city has yet to hear from the governor’s office or the Department of Corrections about plans for F House. But the city will try to set up a meeting.

“What we want to do is sit down with them and find out what their long-term plans are – not only for these prisoners, but for Stateville,” Soliman said.

He said there is space to replace F House at Stateville with a more modern facility.

The state seems to have a short-term

plan right now.

In an email, Department of Corrections spokeswoman Nicole Wilson stated that F House is slated to close in five to seven weeks. Inmates will be sent to other facilities at Stateville and other prisons, but Wilson did not say which. F House staff will be reassigned at Stateville.

Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich in 2008 proposed closing Stateville to save money but never followed up on the idea.

What happens to Stateville matters to Crest Hill since it is such a big part of the city, Soliman said. The prison was annexed to Crest Hill in 1988.

Stateville now amounts to 27 percent of the water and sewer business done by the city. Crest Hill collects $225,000 a month in water and sewer bills from the

prison.

“Any loss of revenue for a city is a concern. That’s what I’m worried about,” Soliman said.

Rauner in the newspaper column noted $10.3 million in deferred maintenance costs at F House among the reasons for closing it.

F House, a roundhouse built in 1922, has been criticized by the John Howard Association, a prisoner advocacy group, which applauded its closing and called it “not fit for human habitation.”

A roundhouse prison has a circular design with a central tower where guards can keep watch on all the cells.

“I think it’s the safest house we have because there’s a gun house in the middle of the cell house,” said Ralph Portwood, a Stateville employee and president of Local 1866 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents prison workers.

Portwood said about 50 of Stateville’s 1,100 union employees work in F House.

Although they are not being laid off, Portwood said he expected those jobs to disappear over time through attrition.

F House has 347 of the nearly 3,500 inmates at Stateville.

CARING FOR THE CROWDS Saint Joseph faces challenges, works toward solutions for emergency department issues

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – One day in early September, a man walked into the emergency department at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet.

A department clinician assessed the man’s complaints of a cut finger, then went through his medical history and did a routine exam.

When the clinician pressed the man’s midsection, the man felt pain.

It was a lacerated liver. He could have died if not for the cut finger.

“You learn to respect what comes through the front door,” said Dr. Jerry Oliaro, interim medical director at Saint Joseph’s emergency department.

But when 50,000 to 60,000 patients a year come through that emergency room door at Saint Joseph, some may

be waiting for hours, depending on the severity of what brought them in. This is common at hospitals across the nation.

Hospitals such as Saint Joseph have been dealing with emergency department overcrowding for years. National articles and studies have called it a problem since the 1980s or earlier, while it’s been referred to in recent years as a crisis.

Billions of federal dollars are being devoted to bolstering primary care access, while organizations such as the American College of Emergency Physicians continue to raise awareness about the issue.

Locally, the three emergency facilities in Will County totaled 24,081 nonemergency visits in the 12 months before September 2015, according to a health needs assessment from the Will

County Health Department.

Nonemergencies include fevers, sore throats, coughs, earaches, toothaches, minor cuts, sprains and more.

For these ailments, health care professionals recommend patients go to a “medical home,” coordinated through a primary care physician.

But for various reasons, people won’t or can’t get to a medical home.

Saving lives, even when a patient may have come in for a minor ailment, happens all the time in the emergency department. That’s why Oliaro would never turn away a patient, no matter how minor their symptoms.

It’s part of the hospital’s mission.

Saint Joseph has a mortality rate of 0.76, the same as Northwestern Memorial Hospital and better than Rush University Medical Center’s rate of 0.81.

The lower the number, the better. The

national average is 1.0, according to MayoClinic.org.

Who’s seen first?

As one of the busiest emergency departments in the state and the only one in Joliet, Saint Joseph has averaged more than 175 emergency patients a day since the beginning of 2016, with about 50 of them arriving daily by ambulance.

Upon arrival, patients are evaluated by the department’s most experienced clinician and given an acuity level between one and five.

Level 1 is for people on the cusp of death, such as trauma victims, while those with minor ailments, such as strep throat or a twisted ankle, receive a level of 4 or 5.

erwise have it.

And while it’s great for catastrophic health needs and guaranteeing one primary care visit a year, he said it lacks in preventive care.

Chun said there are about 1 million people in Illinois who now have health care because of the ACA who didn’t have it before 2014. But because most of these people never had insurance, and as a result no ongoing primary care, they may not be aware of all of their options.

“The default, again, is to go to the emergency room,” Chun said.

Lipinski said some thought that emergency room visits would decrease as a result of the ACA, but they haven’t.

In some cases, they’ve increased. He said people may be more comfortable going to the emergency room now that they have insurance.

He said hospitals have to find a way to get patients out of the emergency department and connected to physicians in the community.

“A lot of it has to do with care coordination,” Chun said. “Across the board, people are in agreement that we need to do a better job of coordinating care.”

Continued from page 3 The patients are then treated by staff based on their acuity level. Someone who broke a finger will probably wait a lot longer than someone having a heart attack.

So far in 2016, 76 percent of Saint Joseph patients who access care through the emergency department are at or above the midpoint for acuity. The breakdown is as follows: 2 percent are Level 1, 26 percent are Level 2, 48 percent are Level 3, 20 percent are Level 4 and 1 percent are Level 5.

The cause of overcrowding

When a mother walks into the emergency department at 3 a.m. with a child who might have strep throat, it’s usually for good reason, Saint Joseph Director of Nursing Annmarie McDonagh said.

The mother might not have insurance and access to a primary care physician.

If she does have insurance, it’s not a guarantee she can see her family physician the next morning.

She might be waiting several hours in the emergency department if staff are tending to people with severe ailments.

But at some point, she and her child will get seen and taken care of.

“We’re the safety net,” Oliaro said.

“We’re open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year for everyone who needs help.”

A shortage of primary care physicians across the country is one reason for emergency department overcrowding, Oliaro said, while McDonagh noted that even with “good insurance” it can take two weeks or more to see a primary care physician.

The shortage is expected to grow, according to a study titled “The Complexities of Physician Supply and Demand: Projections from 2013 to 2025,” completed at the request of the Association of American Medical Colleges.

Total physician demand is projected to increase by up to 17 percent come 2025, which will exceed supply by a range of 46,000 to 90,000 physicians. An aging and growing population will lead to the majority of the physician demand, the study stated.

While medicine has improved to the point that life expectancy in the United States is, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at an all-time high of 78 years, this means people are living longer with chronic illness and need to be treated.

The Association of American Medical Colleges study states that, because physician training can take up to a decade, a physician shortage in 2025 is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

Oliaro, noting other studies on the topic, said there are several factors lead-

Addressing overcrowding in Joliet

ABOVE: A waiting sign greets guests at Joliet’s Presence Saint Joseph. ing to the shortage of medical students pursuing a primary care career. With rising tuition costs, health majors ask themselves an important question.

“Do I want to leave medical school with a lot of debt, or start making money sooner?” Oliaro said.

Billions in incentives have been invested in recent years toward expanding the primary care workforce, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

But, for now, when those aging patients who are in part the cause of the physician demand come to the emergency department, staff treat them for an episode related to an underlying or ongoing condition rather than the condition itself, which should be handled by a primary care doctor.

McDonagh said more than 60 percent of Saint Joseph emergency department patients are age 65 or older and often have chronic illnesses.

Illinois Hospital Association spokes-

man Danny Chun said emergency department overcrowding has been an issue “for years,” but admission totals fluctuate from year to year.

One reason for overcrowding, he said, is that people who don’t have a medical home tend to use the emergency room as a first and last resort, whether it be for episodes related to chronic illnesses or a bad cold or flu.

“The emergency room is not necessarily the most appropriate or best place to get that care,” Chun said.

Filling the ACA gap

The Association of American Medical Colleges study found that full implementation of the Affordable Care Act will account for about 2 percent of the 17 percent growth in physician demand projected by 2025.

Dr. Gary Lipinski, chief medical officer of Presence Health’s south suburban region, said the ACA has given people health care coverage who wouldn’t oth-

Local efforts also are being made to address the issue. Since that September afternoon, Saint Joseph has opened a new triage center adjacent to its emergency department waiting room.

It may come as a bit of a surprise to the public, McDonagh said, because the triage center was made possible by reconfiguring existing space. There weren’t big bulldozers and cranes onsite.

The triage center, made possible by the Presence Health Foundation’s fundraising effort, seeks to improve patient satisfaction and reduce wait times. To date, just more than $1 million of the foundation’s $2 million goal has been raised.

The donations have ranged from $100,000 to a few dollars. They included contributions from a large percentage of Presence’s employees.

The vast majority of patients who visit the emergency department are now routed through the triage center. The exceptions are those of extremely high acuity, such as severe trauma or unresponsiveness. Those patients are brought directly into trauma rooms.

Other patients who are of low acuity, such as those with minor fractures, may bypass the triage room and be fast-tracked into an express care area.

Mid- to low-acuity patients are treated and released from the triage center, and mid- to high-acuity patients are seen in the emergency department.

“We’re extremely excited about it,” McDonagh said. “The new triage area will help fast-track things and get more people with lower acuity out the door in 90 minutes or less.”

Frankfort police, FBI nab bank robbery suspect

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Frankfort police said a joint investigation with the FBI led to the arrest of a New Lenox man who was a suspect in a robbery at U.S. Bank.

Police said Steven W. Lamancusa, 27, of the 800 block of E. Joliet Highway, New Lenox, was taken into custody Friday morning without incident.

Lamancusa was identified as a suspect because of “departmental information and social media posts.”

Frankfort Police Deputy Chief Kevin Keegan said Friday that Lamancusa is

the same suspect in the armed robbery that occurred Tuesday at U.S. Bank, 9795 W. Lincoln Highway, Frankfort. The FBI stated in a criminal complaint against Keegan that through intimidation he took about $1,838 from U.S. Bank.

Lamancusa was initially identified by a Frankfort police officer who – after reviewing photographs of the robbery from surveillance video – told the FBI he recognized Lamancusa from a gym in Frankfort.

An employee at the gym and two other people not named in the complaint assisted law enforcement with identifying Lamancusa.

No injuries when train hits car in crash

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – A brother and sister escaped injury Friday night when their car was demolished by an Amtrak train as it was driving on railroad tracks in Elwood.

Police Chief Fred Hayes said at 8:21 p.m. a resident of the Wooded Cove subdivision reported the crash.

Officers found Matthew Gunty, 27, of Channahon, and his 12-year-old sister near the remains of a red 1999 Jeep Cherokee, Hayes said.

“He said he’s been driving southbound on Manhattan Road, which is closed near the rail crossing,” Hayes said. “He drove through a series of ‘Road Closed’ barricades and continued south along the railroad tracks until he came to the Jackson Creek Bridge.”

Gunty tried to turn around but the Jeep was stuck and he and his sister got out when they saw a train approach, Hayes said. The train smashed into the Jeep – causing damage to the front of the carriage assembly. The railing of the

None of the 241 passengers or crew on Chicago-bound Amtrak Train 307 reported injuries, Hayes said.

Rail traffic was stopped for over three hours while the crash was being investigated.

Gunty was arrested on a charge of criminal trespassing and given several traffic citations, Hayes said.

an elected official to have a conflict of interest once in a while, as he may if he’s elected to District 6 and remains employed by the city of Joliet. The city often has intergovernmental agreements with the county.

“But what I’m saying is with my opponent, it’s every month that the entire Forest Preserve District is conflicted,” VanDuyne said.

According to Forest Preserve District chief operating officer Ralph Schultz, Dick Kavanagh has represented the Forest Preserve District of Will County since 1983.

Kavanagh, Grumley & Gorbold LLC is currently paid $1,100 in monthly retainer fees by the Forest Preserve District. Additional fees are charged in accordance with an approved hourly rate schedule based on the legal service and personnel required to complete the work, Schultz stated in an email.

VanDuyne noted it’s a no-bid contract, and said Freitag can’t oppose to it or consider sending it out to bid because she works for the firm.

However, Schultz stated in the email the Forest Preserve District does not bid out legal services because it is a professional service and not subject to open bid requirements.

Meetings and votes

The full Board of Commissioners meets once a month.

According to the Forest Preserve District, Freitag has attended eight of 10 board meetings so far this year and abstained from the schedule of bills vote each time. In 2015, she attended 10 meetings, abstained six times, voted “aye” once and arrived after the vote three times. In 2014, she attended nine of 12 meetings, abstained eight times and voted “aye” once. Wilmington City Council meets two to three times each month.

According to the Wilmington City Council meeting minutes posted to the city of Wilmington’s website, VanDuyne missed four meetings this year, five meetings in 2015 and zero in 2014.

Most Will County meetings are during the day and almost always in the morning, while Wilmington City Council meets in the evenings.

Although VanDuyne works daytime hours, he said this will not be an issue if elected to Will County Board and the Forest Preserve Board of Commissioners. He said he will use the Time Off for Official Meetings Act, 50 ILCS 115, which allows elected officials to attend open meetings without repercussion from an employer.

JOLIET – Two of the three candidates vying for a two-year term to serve Will County Board District 6 in the Nov. 8 election are at odds.

Two of the candidates are currently on the board – Don Gould, R-Shorewood, and Ragan Freitag, R-Wilmington.

But challenger Joe VanDuyne, D-Wilmington, has a problem with Freitag’s representation of the district, so he’s campaigning to take her spot.

VanDuyne, like Freitag once did, currently serves as an alderman for the city of Wilmington. He’s also a maintenance electrician for the city of Joliet.

One of the main reasons VanDuyne decided to run for District 6 office, he said, is “a lack of representation because of the humongous conflict of interest that Freitag has.”

Freitag, who has served on the Will County Board since 2012, is an attorney with Kavanagh, Grumley & Gorbold LLC, a Joliet law firm that represents the Forest Preserve District of Will County.

In accordance with Illinois statutes, members of the County Board also serve on the Board of Commissioners of the Forest Preserve District of Will County.

Freitag currently is vice president of the Board of Commissioners.

VanDuyne said Freitag, in the past few years, has regularly missed Forest Preserve Board meetings or abstained from voting on the schedule of bills, which includes the law firm.

“Every taxpayer knows the most important vote [an elected official can have] is how to spend taxpayer money,” VanDuyne said. “We’re not getting that from our representation.”

Freitag said she’d “like to thank VanDuyne for letting constituents know she’s an ethical attorney as well as a transparent board member.”

Freitag pointed out she does not vote on the schedule of bills because, if she did, it would then create an actual conflict of interest that could bring legal consequences.

She added that many board members have voted “abstain” for various reasons on various matters. In these instances, she said, board members had some sort of a prior or existing business relationship with said entity.

“That’s why it’s not just a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote,” Freitag said. “It’s to prevent conflict, and I’m one of many who has taken a vote of abstention.”

VanDuyne said it’s unavoidable for

ment Committee.

Khouri points to the Metro West Manufacturing Workforce Collaboration, a workforce training program that she says came out of the Economic Development Committee, as an example of the kind of initiatives she would want to develop in Congress.

“The first two graduates were homeless a year ago and now are employed in manufacturing,” Khouri said. “That’s what I see as a role of government.”

One of her top priorities if elected would be to reduce regulations on small businesses, saying they would be freed up to create more jobs.

Khouri said the Affordable Care Act needs to be replaced with a health care policy that promotes competition. But, she said, key provisions should be retained, especially protections regarding pre-existing conditions.

“I would only repeal Obamacare if something else is in place,” she said.

She said she would work with both parties to get things accomplished in Congress.

“I have a position that I am not going to turn a blind eye to my colleagues across the aisle,” she said. “Nor will I walk lock-step with party leadership. I want to get things done.”

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, is seeking his third consecutive term, while Tonia Khouri, a Republican member of the DuPage County Board from Aurora, seeks to replace him in the 11th Congressional District.

Both candidates have business experience, say they are able to look beyond partisan interests to get things done, and want the federal government to do more to help Will County widen Interstate 80.

One key difference is their stance on the Affordable Care Act, although

expensive drugs now available that can curb the craving for heroin and opioids, he said.

A 5.2 percent increase in median household income in 2015 was a sign that the nation’s economic policies are working, Foster said. He said more can be done and wants a national minimum wage.

16 JJC officials discuss master plan update, open record law changes

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – With Joliet Junior College needing to update its master plan, President Judy Mitchell proposed at this week’s retreat meeting once again working with Legat Architects.

During the informational meeting, where trustees met to discuss a variety of topics concerning JJC, Mitchell said the Illinois Community College Board requires every community college to have its master plan updated every five years. JJC is due for a new plan in 2018.

In an effort to be cost conscious, with new facilities opening in 2017 and no other new buildings foreseen in the

near future, she wanted to recommend the board develop its next master plan with Legat Architects in an amount not to exceed $50,000.

She said the firm worked with the college on its master plan in 2008 and the updated version in 2013.

“They know our campuses, they know our buildings, they’ve collected the data,” Mitchell said.

The master plan is a comprehensive document that details the current and future physical needs of JJC, according to the college’s website. The plan is developed by architects and engineers, along with campus and external community representatives.

Some of the projects under the mas-

ter plan and its update in 2013 include the City Center campus building, JJC Event Center and Romeoville campus expansion, which are slated to open next year.

Open Meetings Act

Carl Buck, the college’s attorney, went over the Open Meetings Act and Freedom of Information Act at the retreat meeting to update college officials familiar with the laws on changes and introduce new officials to them.

He said the number of OMA and FOIA complaints received by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, which handles them through its Public Access Counselor office, or PAC, is growing ex-

ponentially because the public and media are becoming increasingly knowledgeable about how those laws work.

According to the PAC’s annual reports, the number of OMA and FOIA complaints has grown from 3,246 in 2013 to 4,770 last year.

“The disputes around [FOIA or OMA] are not necessarily created because there’s violations. It’s just that the laws are very expansive. Some of the terms [in the laws] are very specific, some of the terms aren’t,” he said.

Some examples of disputes include what counts as a public record and exceptions to OMA, he said.

Will County officials agree to accelerated safety complex construction schedule

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County officials have set forth a plan to get the new Will County Public Safety Complex completed a few months sooner than expected.

On Thursday, the Will County Board approved an allowance of $200,000 that will move the project’s completion date from March 19, 2018, to Dec. 27, 2017.

The agreement with Leopardo Companies, the project’s construction manager, allows for Saturday labor so the project timeline can be accelerated.

Based on recommendations by Leopardo, the board’s Capital Improvements Committee recommended the accelerated schedule. The committee wants to save money in the long run, because it cannot begin working on the Will County Judicial Complex until the safety complex is done.

While the safety complex is currently estimated to cost about $30 million, the judicial complex is expected in the $195 million range. The Capital Improvements Committee is viewing it as one continuous timeline.

“It was important for us to get back on our original schedule,” said Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort.

“Otherwise, we were going to jeopardize a construction season with the [judicial complex] that could cost us

millions of dollars.”

Moustis said it wasn’t Leopardo’s fault the county’s timeline was delayed.

The project was initially just going to be a new Will County Sheriff’s Office, but the project timeline was extended a few months as the county added a communication center and 911 center expansion to the design, he said.

Though the allowance was approved

Lincoln-Way D-210 official: budget ‘on a good track’ thus far

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way District 210 superintendent said at Thursday’s meeting that revenues are up for the financially struggling district while expenses are down.

During discussion of the treasurer’s report, Superintendent Scott Tingley said revenues are up about 10.6 percent while expenses are down about 11.4 percent, leaving the district ahead on the total operating funds in the budget.

In an email, Taryn Atwell, the district’s spokeswoman, wrote that revenues this year are at $31.8 million compared with $28.7 million at the same time last year. Expenses are at $20.2 million compared with $22.9 million at the same time last year.

Since the district landed on the state financial watch list, district officials have needed to develop a deficit reduction plan that included closing North high school – one of the district’s four schools – and gaining a projected savings of $5.8 million, according to a state investigation of the district’s financial condition.

Tingley said the district is “11.4 percent [in expenses] better than we were

“We’re on a good track. We’ll continue to monitor this,” he said.

He said the district has not yet received state-mandated categorical funding – covering special education, transportation and other programs – but has been receiving general state aid.

The district has engaged in shortterm borrowing to sustain its operations through tax anticipation warrants, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

On Sept. 29, the board approved $20 million in those warrants to finish the month with positive fund balances, Tingley said at the time.

JOLIET – The Houbolt Road bridge project advanced last week as Joliet signed off on an agreement that sets the terms on how the public-private venture will work.

Joliet gets $2.1 million from the state to begin hiring engineers to start designing a new interchange after the City Council approved the intergovernmental agreement last week.

The project, estimated to cost as much as $190 million, includes building a bridge over the Des Plaines River, rebuilding the Houbolt Road interchange, and widening Houbolt between Interstate 80 and the bridge.

CenterPoint Properties, which has developed the massive industrial park that would be connected to I-80 by the bridge, would bear the estimated $150 million to $170 million cost to build the bridge.

The state would pay the $21 million estimated costs of a new divergent diamond interchange and widening of Houbolt Road.

If all goes according to plan, Joliet would not pay anything.

But a staff memo to the City Council emphasized in bold print that if engineering and construction costs for the interchange and Houbolt Road widening exceed $21 million “the City of Joliet will be responsible for the additional costs.”

City officials have noted a 10 percent contingency for unexpected costs built into the $21 million estimate, saying they are confident that the project will be done within budget.

“We don’t anticipate any overruns,” Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said after the council vote.

But O’Dekirk added that if the city faced additional costs, they could be recovered from tolls CenterPoint will charge truckers to use the bridge.

The agreement approved last week does not provide for the city receiving toll money. But O’Dekirk noted that the tolls have not been set yet and said city officials have discussed the possibility with CenterPoint.

It’s Turkey Time!

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Illinois was once billed as one of November’s most competitive U.S. Senate races. Now, Democrats are counting on U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth to defeat Illinois Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk as the party looks to reclaim the majority in the chamber.

Duckworth is expected to benefit from what’s historically been high Democratic turnout during presidential election years, and the most recent polls show she has a comfortable lead.

But Kirk warns that counting him out would be a mistake. The former congressman and first-term senator said a recent internal poll showed him trailing Duckworth by just two points.

“News of my political death has been way too early,” Kirk said, noting he has exceeded expectations on Election Day. “Always Kirk has closed strongly.”

In a state where Democrats typically win statewide, Kirk has worked to distance himself from Republicans, especially this year, when he’s been one of the most vocal critics of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, calling him “delusional” and “too bigoted and racist for Illinois.”

Kirk, of Highland Park, also frequently notes his “F’’ rating from the National Rifle Association and that he

Rauner administration awards nonunion bonuses

SPRINGFIELD – More than 1,000 nonunion Illinois state workers whose bosses say are performing exceptional work are getting one-time merit bonuses from Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration.

About 1,100 workers will each receive a $3,016 bonus under the plan that will award between $3 million and $4 million in bonuses, The State Journal-Register reported.

Michael Hoffman, the acting director of the Department of Central Management Services, said in a memo to agency directors and others that the bonuses are a reward in part for “the hard work and dedication that non-bargaining unit employees demonstrate on a daily basis.”

Hoffman said the last across-the-board

U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth

U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk

called for the Senate to hold hearings on President Barack Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court. And former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney praised Kirk’s independence Wednesday, adding that the GOP must hold on to the Senate to “keep America from going off the rails.”

But Duckworth has had her own high-profile endorsements. Obama appeared at a fundraiser with her this month, and the campaign launched a new radio ad in which Obama notes Duckworth’s father worked in a factory and that she worked her way through college with the help of student loans and grants.

“Tammy knows what’s important to our families. That’s because she’s walked in our shoes,” Obama says, call-

ing the Hoffman Estates resident “a terrific leader who will never stop fighting for all of us.”

Both candidates also offer compelling personal stories. Duckworth lost both legs when her helicopter was shot down in Iraq, while Kirk suffered a stroke in 2012 and went through grueling rehabilitation before returning to work in Washington.

The second-term congresswoman brought in more than three times the cash Kirk did during the final fundraising quarter before the Nov. 8 election, leaving her with more than $4 million to Kirk’s roughly $1.4 million.

Kirk has criticized Duckworth’s time as director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs and in a leadership post at the federal VA, running

salary increase for non-bargaining unit employees was in 2005, and the last merit pay program for them was in 2009.

Rauner’s office said employees had to receive an “exceptional” rating on individual evaluations to qualify. The bonuses have already been issued to many of the workers who qualified.

Hoffman’s memo says the bonuses are available to non-bargaining unit employees whose base salary as of July 1 was less than $100,000. Those earning more were not eligible, as were a number of other merit-comp employees.

Umpleby has worked at Caterpillar for more than three decades. He currently is president of the company’s Peoria-based energy and transportation group, which reported $17.9 billion in sales last year.

Umpleby has worked in a variety of positions in the U.S. and Asia, including assignments in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

Caterpillar spokeswoman Rachel Potts said Umpleby is committed to making Caterpillar stronger and has deep roots in the Peoria area. Potts said the CEO switch was not because of the company’s global restructuring plan, which is expected to save Caterpillar $1.5 billion by 2018 due to 10,000 job layoffs, facility closures and discontinuation of some equipment.

television ads featuring women who say Duckworth ignored problems they reported or retaliated against them.

Duckworth has denied the claims, says she was unaware of problems with waiting lists at Illinois veterans’ homes and blames the failure of a program to increase veteran access to health care on imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Kirk said this week he isn’t buying those explanations – “I’m sure she’ll say the dog ate my homework or something.”

Duckworth has blasted Kirk in campaign ads for exaggerating his own military record, including his assertion that he came under enemy fire while flying reconnaissance missions in Iraq. The former Navy intelligence officer has apologized for the misstatements.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee had scheduled additional TV ads in the final weeks of the race, but recently cut back on the order and diverted the money to states with more competitive Senate races.

Kirk and Duckworth are scheduled to meet for two televised debates before Nov. 8: Thursday in Springfield and Nov. 4 in Chicago.

Emanuel’s office said the mayor envisions the projects boasting bold architectural designs that will offer a break from the typical “cookie-cutter designs” common in government buildings.

The libraries will offer programming and resources to housing authority residents as well as area children and families, including early childhood learning spaces.

Each library also will offer the “Teacher in a Library” program where kids can get free homework assistance.

Report: Calif. soldiers must released after a ransom was paid, repay enlistment bonuses and international mediators said SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Nearly 10,000 California National Guard soldiers have been ordered to repay huge enlistment bonuses a decade after signing up to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan, a newspaper reported Saturday.

The Pentagon demanded the money back after audits revealed overpayments by the California Guard under pressure to fill ranks and hit enlistment goals. If soldiers refuse, they could face interest charges, wage garnishments and tax liens, the Los Angeles Times said.

Faced with a shortage of troops at the height of the two wars, California Guard officials offered bonuses of $15,000 or more for soldiers to re-enlist.

A federal investigation in 2010 found thousands of bonuses and student loan payments were improperly doled out to California Guard soldiers. About 9,700 current and retired soldiers received notices to repay some or all of their bonuses with more than $22 million recovered so far.

Hussein said $1.5 million in ransom was paid for the sailors’ release. That claim could not be independently verified.

Trump vows to sue accusers; Clinton focused on support

By JOSH LEDERMAN and JILL COLVIN The Associated Press

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Steering his campaign toward controversy yet again, Donald Trump vowed Saturday to sue every woman who has accused him of sexual assault or other inappropriate behavior. He called them “liars” whose allegations he blamed Democrats for orchestrating.

Trump’s blunt threat of legal action eclipsed his planned focus on serious-minded policy during a speech in Gettysburg. Though his campaign had billed the speech as a chance for Trump to lay out a to-do list for his first 100 days as president, he seemed unable to restrain himself from re-litigating grievances with Hillary Clinton, the media and especially the women who have come forward in recent days.

“All of these liars will be sued once the election is over,” Trump said. He added later: “I look so forward to doing that.”

Speaking to reporters aboard her campaign plane between rallies in Pennsylvania, Clinton said that, after three debates, she was no longer thinking about responding to what Trump says anymore and would “let the American people decide what he offers and what we offer.”

Clinton said she would be focusing the days remaining before the election helping down-ballot Democrats. To that end, she assailed the state’s Republican senator, Pat Toomey, saying in Pittsburgh that he has refused to “stand up” to Trump as she touted his Democratic challenger, Katie McGinty.

Noting Trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants and his attacks on a Muslim-American military family, she said of Toomey: “If he doesn’t have the courage to stand up to Donald Trump after all of this, then can you be sure that he will stand up for you when it counts?”

Nearly a dozen women have publicly accused Trump of unwanted advances or sexual assault

in the weeks since a 2005 recording emerged in which the former reality TV star boasted of kissing women and groping their genitals without their consent. The latest came on Saturday, when an adult film actress said the billionaire kissed her and two other women on the lips “without asking for permission” when they met him after a golf tournament in 2006.

Trump has denied all the allegations, while insisting some of the women weren’t attractive enough for him to want to pursue.

“Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign,” he said. Without offering evidence, he surmised that Clinton or the Democratic National Committee had put the women up to it. Clinton called the accusation “inaccurate.”

Trump’s broadside against the women came at the start of an otherwise substantive speech that sought to weave the many policy ideas he has put forward into a single, cohesive agenda that he said he would pursue aggressively during his first three months in office.

The Republican nominee vowed to lift restrictions on domestic energy production, label China as a currency manipulator and renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, familiar themes to supporters who have flocked to his rallies this year.

“This is my pledge to you, and if we follow these steps, we will once again have a government of, by and for the people,” Trump said, invoking a phrase from President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

Though mostly a recap of policies he’s proposed before, Trump’s speech included a few new elements, such as a freeze on hiring new federal workers and a two-year mandatory minimum sentence for immigrants who re-enter the U.S. illegally after being deported a first time. In a pledge sure to raise eyebrows on Wall Street, he said he’d block a potential merger between AT&T and media conglomerate Time Warner.

BARTELLA, Iraq – The Iraqi army pushed into a town near the Islamic State-held city of Mosul on Saturday, a day after dozens of IS militants stormed into the northern city of Kirkuk, setting off two days of clashes and killing at least 80 people, mostly security forces.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter meanwhile met with Iraq’s prime minister and commanders in Baghdad to discuss the offensive to retake Mosul, which the U.S. is supporting with airstrikes and advisers on the ground.

The Iraqi army said the 9th Division has pushed into the town of Hamdaniyah, also known as Qaraqosh and Bakhdida, and raised the flag over its government compound, but the troops were likely still facing resistance in and around the town. Similar past announcements have often proved premature.

The town is around 12 miles from Mosul. Iraqi forces launched a widescale offensive earlier this week aimed at retaking Mosul, the country’s second largest city, which fell to IS in 2014.

Hamdaniyah is believed to be largely uninhabited. IS has heavily mined

Risan was shot in the chest by a sniper Saturday during a battle in the al-Shura area. Journalist Ahmet Haceroglu of Turkmeneli TV was shot dead by a militant sniper Friday, while covering the IS assault on Kirkuk.

Iraqi forces retook the town of Bartella, about 9 miles east of Mosul, earlier this week, but are still facing pockets of resistance in the area.

In Kirkuk, meanwhile, some fighting continued a day after the IS assault on the city, some 100 miles southeast of Mosul. The wave of attacks in and around Kirkuk appeared to be an attempt to divert attention from Mosul.

Brig. Gen. Khattab Omer of the Kirkuk police said at least 80 people were killed in the assault, mainly Kurdish security forces. An additional 170 were wounded, he said, adding that a sundown curfew has been imposed on the city.

Omer said Kurdish security forces recovered the bodies of 56 militants who took part in the attack. The Kurds assumed control of Kirkuk in 2014, when the Iraqi army and police crumbled in the face of a lightning IS advance across northern Iraq.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said the Kirkuk assault was a terrorist attack and not a military breach.

Those discussions mainly have focused on such costs as snow removal, maintenance and policing of the bridge, O’Dekirk said. The city has not agreed to any of those costs, but has insisted that tolls pay for them if they do, O’Dekirk said. Councilwoman Jan Quillman raised a new concern last week when she asked what would happen if CenterPoint ended up not building the bridge.

The student activity accounts consist primarily of clubs, activities and sports, Atwell wrote, and district officials are looking to see which should close because of the closing of North high school.

Luzzo said she hopes to have the report ready for the Nov. 17 board meeting.

Heredia-Rios then allegedly put Garrido-Castro’s body in Garrido-Castro’s 2004 GMC Envoy and drove it to Rosalind Avenue in Joliet Township.

Heredia-Rios is charged with murder and concealing a homicide. Detectives have information confirming that the homicide occurred outside the building and believe many people were in the area at the time, according to the news release.

“I am in favor of getting this done faster, but I believe it’s very early in the project to be just throwing out numbers like this,” Howard said in the meeting.

Among other things, Howard asked whether the county could use fewer tradesmen but have them work more hours; whether the county could insert incremental target dates into the schedule; whether the accelerated schedule is accounting for bad weather days.

Moustis took issue with Howard asking an extensive list of questions that had been addressed in detail at the committee level, and accused him of grandstanding for the cameras.

Howard said he was sorry for boring him.

“It’s my privilege as an elected official to ask questions on the County Board floor,” Howard said to Moustis.

“If we’re not allowed to ask questions anymore, let me know.”

Moustis replied that board members are supposed to do their homework before they get to the board meeting.

Cleveland Dear TT: There are two very sim-

ple possible answers.

1) Because the Earth still continues to spin counterclockwise on its axis at about 1,000 miles an hour, stockbrokers who spend much of their time walking clockwise during the day become dizzy and are prone to making bad investment decisions.

Your broker may be one of them.

2) Your broker may have been among the 129 workers who were fired from Mars Inc. in 2003 because they threw away the W’s from the M&M’s. I believe that 11 of them applied for jobs as investment advisers with your current brokerage in Cleveland.

I’ve met quite a few trust officers at several Florida banks, but most of them are young lads without, in my opinion, adequate life experiences under their belts. I have nothing against youngsters (my sister tells me that I was also young once), but in the main, I’m not comfortable having a young lad, someone who’s not sufficiently dry behind the ears, give me book-read financial advice.

Sabal Trust is a trust company in Florida that I like, and I know some of its principals on a personal basis. I think their investment record, their individual maturity, their range of financial expertise

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko and their knowledge of taxes, wills, probate and trusts might serve you folks well. Unlike some other trust departments, the folks at Sabal are comfortable to be with and as easy to talk to as a good next-door neighbor.

Meanwhile, do not sell your shares of Verizon Communications (VZ-$50.21), which was created by the merger of Bell Atlantic and GTE in 2000. VZ is one of the few public companies with an A++ financial strength rating.

And VZ, with its 4.6 percent dividend yield and a 10-year track record of consecutive dividend increases, is a fine proxy for owning a corporate or U.S. government bond. VZ has a superb balance sheet, with nearly $6 billion in cash, up from $4.5 billion a year ago, and a reduction of $5 billion from long-term debt since last year.

Verizon’s revenues, earnings and dividend probably will increase annually, though modestly, for many years. VZ’s 177,000 employees helped their company record $128 billion in revenues while providing service to nearly 100 million Americans and generate $16 billion in profits.

Another way to look at this is each employee was responsible for $7.2 million in revenues and contributed about $9,000 in net profits.

Value Line likes VZ and figures it could trade in the mid-$80s within the coming five years.

Morningstar and S&P Capital IQ rate VZ as a “hold.” Argus Research and Market Edge rank VZ as a “buy.” And Ned Davis Research ranks VZ as “neutral.” I think VZ should be one of the bedrock stocks in every growth and income portfolio. Keep it for life.

If you want to make it a bit more enjoyable to manage, you might consider writing Verizon January 2017 call options at $55, which should increase your current return quite nicely, probably by about 2 percent a year.

Dear Mr. Berko: My husband and I are both 76 and retired from the medical profession 12 years ago. We have had a large retirement account at a big brokerage firm for eight years, and including dividends, since November 2008, our total return for those eight years has been 12.34 percent, or less than 1.5 percent annually.

We have a much smaller account there, too, which I’ve managed since 2008, and our total return exceeds 9 percent annually. But I don’t like doing it, and we’ve had it with stockbrokers.

We are moving to your area in Florida in January and hope you can recommend a non-stuffy trust department to run our stock accounts and handle our other financial affairs. How could a stockbroker do so poorly with our account, especially in an up market?

Finally, could you give me your opinion on Verizon? Do you think I should sell the 700 shares of Verizon that I bought at $39? – TT,

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

Fight breast cancer all year More than 200,000 American women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, and more than 40,000 women died from it in 2015, according to the American Cancer Society.

One in eight U.S. women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime, or 12.3 percent of all women, according to American Cancer Society’s “Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2015-2016” report.

While the incidence rates are higher today than they were in the 1970s, the death rates from breast cancer have been on the decline since 1989, according to the American Cancer Society, and the decrease is believed to stem, in part, from earlier detection through screenings.

After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in U.S. women.

Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Breast cancer, unfortunately, touches most Americans in some direct or indirect way.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which began more than 30 years ago as a way to promote breast cancer awareness, share information about the disease and provide greater access to screening services to women across the country.

We’ve seen the numbers trend in the right direction, but we haven’t won this fight.

The best way for a woman to reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer remains early detection through self-examinations and scheduling annual mammograms after the age of 40.

Mammograms are available at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital Breast Center, Future Diagnostic Group in Joliet, Morris Hospital, Presence Glenwood Imaging Center in Joliet, Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox and The Breast Center at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet.

Silver Cross Hospital also participates in the iMatter Reward Program, where women can receive discounts at some local businesses simply for getting their mammograms.

We all can do more to raise awareness besides wearing pink. Donate to the National Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation. Volunteer at an event. Do what you can in this all-important struggle to beat breast cancer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Distracted driving education should be priority

To the Editor: Distracted and impaired driving are the leading causes of teen-driving fatalities, but they are 100 percent preventable.

In 2014, 2,679 teen drivers were involved in fatal traffic crashes, resulting in 3,004 deaths nationally.

An estimated 123,000 teen passenger vehicle drivers were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes, according to the National Traffic Safety Administration (NTSA).

While Illinois has done its part to help reduce these numbers by legislating a ban on the use of mobile devices while driving, laws are not going to be enough to stop these tragic events.

Teen driving safety education needs to become a top priority for parents and schools across the nation. The Illinois Insurance Association (IIA) and its members are committed to helping

promote teen safe-driving initiatives such as the NTSA’s “5 to Drive” campaign, which helps parents teach their teen drivers about the rules of the road.

Parents play an important role in helping ensure their teens take smart steps to stay safe on the road by explaining all driving restrictions outlined in Illinois’ graduated driver licensing (GDL) law and the deadly consequences of unsafe driving practices.

The NHTSA “5 to Drive” campaign gives parents tips on how to talk about safe driving behaviors with their teens and address the five most dangerous and deadly driving behaviors for teen drivers: alcohol, lack of seat belt use, distracted driving, speeding and extra passengers.

It is going to take a collaborative effort by government agencies, parents, schools and the insurance industry to help end these tragedies in Illinois and across the country. It is important

that we continue to promote and support teen-safe driving initiatives not only in the month of October, but all year.

End unprovoked violence

To the editor: A lot of innocent citizens have died recently at the hands of racially biased members of law enforcement.

Today’s version of public lynchings. It must stop now!

The NFL player who brought attention to the issue by refusing to stand during the national anthem made a courageous, powerful and admirable statement.

Then it was promptly overshadowed by the inevitable flood of copycats who selfishly jumped on the bandwagon to share the spotlight and

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

diverted the focus by resurrecting a whole other controversy that simply blindsided the original effort.

Those local high school athletes among them who did so unintentionally came off as an embarrassing bunch of clueless prima donnas who were shockingly ill-advised by some incredibly restless, short-sighted adults.

I do respect that they exercised their constitutional rights to express themselves.

Now I’m exercision mine to say that I feel they were totally misguided in every way.

Now we’re all bickering about the national anthem protocol instead of concentrating on ending unprovoked violence. Maybe we just need to dispense with the playing of our national anthem at sporting events altogether.

Sad if it has to come to that because of an irresponsible few.

Nice job, fellas. Hope you’re proud of yourselves.

Bill Nixon, Crest Hill

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus Which, according to a study in The New England Journal of Medicine is a very real possibility. It found that cardiac emergencies among German men tripled during the 2006 World Cup soccer championships.

Fanatic Germans? No surprise there.

Soccer? Meh. You might think it’s all about winning and losing, but it’s really not.

What it’s really all about is the dopamine.

Dopamine is the brain chemical responsible for the experience of positive emotions. It’s generated by rewarding stimuli.

And while there was no rewarding stimuli on Channel 237’s NLCS broadcast, I was still able to get my dopamine fix over on Channel 200, where the Blackhawks’ Marian Hossa picked up his 500th goal in a 7-4 drubbing of the Flyers.

Which I guess took the edge off the Cubs loss. That and a bottle of Blue Moon. And a chocolate sundae. With sprinkles.

Still, gotta have that dopamine.

According to an article in Psychology Today, the “chemical mediates various emotions, such as pleasure, happiness, and excitement, due in part to its actions in a brain area called the nucleus accumbens. This brain region is activated in several circumstances involving positive emotions and pleasure, and can influence the thrill that one feels after a victory.”

I like to call it happy juice.

Apparently you can now purchase an inexpensive, easy-to-administer synthetic dopamine substitute if you don’t have the patience to sit through a 162-game regular season plus the 11 postseason wins needed for the final World Series champion dose.

It’s called crack cocaine. Though I’m told the side effects are pretty bad, even worse than last year’s Bears defensive unit.

Of course, there’s a flip side to winning, as all Chicago fans are abundantly aware of. It’s called the agony of defeat. And it’s not caused by dopamine withdrawal, which I guess is the main drawback with crack.

Instead, another brain chemical comes into play. This one’s called norepinephrine. It activates something ominously named the amygdala (small wonder; I’ve known a couple

firearms. As you mentioned, the framers of the Constitution could not have envisioned the future. So, don’t you think, Mr. Brown, that this constitutional right should be rescinded? It’s archaic.

women named Amy, and they were both crazy).

The amygdala activates negative emotions, such as fear, anger and sadness. The same feelings one experiences when listening to Trump or Clinton.

The worst dose of norepinephrine I ever experienced was after Illinois fell to North Carolina 75-70 in the 2005 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament. The fear and loathing lingered for weeks after the defeat. It was like being in mourning. I couldn’t even talk about the game until months later.

And now the Cubs are down 2-1.

There’s still a good chance they could bounce back, although this series is starting to look a lot like last year’s NLCS, when they got swept by the Mets.

I’m gonna stick it out, though. I still believe. I still have hope.

But know this: if they do get eliminated, I’m immediately jumping over to the Blackhawks.

Because I still gotta have my dopamine.

It’s Wednesday morning, and the Cubs are now behind 2-1 in the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers.

I feel slightly depressed, but not overtly so. Which is kind of surprising since emotionally I usually live or die based my team’s championship expectations versus its actual performance.

It’s not like I haven’t been down this road before. I’ve experienced the same highs and lows with the Bears, the Bulls, the Blackhawks and the Illini. Even one year with the White Sox. Championship runs are mentally exhausting, especially after you dedicate an entire season stretched out on the couch, beer in hand, as your team exudes actual blood, sweat and tears all over the field, court or rink.

You can expend a lot of adrenalin watching professional sports, though in varying amounts.

Baseball, I’ve noticed, is a slow burn. There’s no clock and play is so … deliberate.

Unlike hockey or basketball, which are more of a blowtorch, especially in close, meaningful games. During the Blackhawks’ runs in 2010, 2015 and especially 2013, there were times my chest would pound so hard that I thought I was about to have a heart attack.

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Joliet West’s Kendrick Roach looks for some running room against Plainfield North on Friday. The Tigers face Oswego in the Class 8A playoffs.

Central (9-0) vs. Waubonsie Valley (5-4) game.

7A: The best area examples of how important it is to win in Week 9 are in this class.

Plainfield North came out and played one of its best all-around games in whipping Joliet West, 47-7, Friday night. That earned the Tigers their seventh victory, which meant a home game, the first in school history, as the No. 16 seed against No. 17 Highland Park (7-2). The second-round matchup would be against No. 1 Bradley (9-0) or No. 32 Libertyville (5-4).

As another example of Week 9’s importance, Lincoln-Way West lost in overtime to Sandburg and thus enters the playoffs 5-4 and with 39 playoff points. The first-round assignment for the now No. 31 Warriors is to visit pow-

erful East St. Louis (9-0), the No. 2 seed.

If West can pull off the upset, its second-round foe will be No. 15 Glenbard North (7-2) or No. 18 Pekin (6-3).

Lincoln-Way Central is the No. 19 seed and will travel to No. 14 Reavis (7-2), with the winner of No. 3 Rolling Meadows (9-0) vs. No. 30 Thornwood (5-4) awaiting the winner in Round 2.

6A: From 6A down, it is not a 32team draw. Lemont (9-0) is the No. 1 seed in the south bracket and will host a familiar foe from the South Suburban Blue, No. 16 Oak Forest (5-4). Lemont blanked Oak forest, 34-0, Sept. 23.

The Indians with a victory would earn the right to face No. 8 Danville (7-2) or No. 9 Perspectives Co-op (7-2) in Round 2.

For those prone to looking ahead, No. 2 Sacred Heart Griffin (9-0) is in the

other half of the south bracket so the Cyclones would not run into Lemont until the semifinals.

5A: Morris is the No. 3 seed in the south bracket of 5A and may be on a path not unlike the one Lincoln-Way West rode last year to the 5A state championship game.

The Redskins open at home against No. 14 Marion (5-4), then would face No. 6 Geneseo (6-3) or No. 11 Troy Triad (6-3) in Round 2 before potentially seeing No. 2 Highland (8-1) in the quarterfinals. Point-crazy Peoria would not come up until the semifinals.

4A: Entering the playoffs at 5-4, Coal City had a pretty good idea what to expect. The Coalers, No. 14 in the north bracket of 4A, will travel to No. 3 Genoa-Kingston (9-0) for a tough firstround matchup. If Coal City can win, next up would be the winner of No. 6 Rockford Lutheran (7-2) against No. 11 Richmond-Burton (6-3).

3A: On one hand, Wilmington pencils in as one of the area teams that could go a long way in the playoffs. On the other hand, the Wildcats will earn whatever they achieve.

Wilmington is the No. 4 seed in the top bracket of 3A and will host No. 13 Chicago Corliss (6-3) in Round 1. The second-round foe will be No. 5 Byron (9-0) or No. 12 Eureka (6-3) and looming in Round 3 is No. 1 IC Catholic.

• Sunday, October 23, 2016

Week 9 of the high school football season was not particularly kind to Joliet area teams that were hoping to play their way into the state football playoffs.

While five area hopefuls were eliminated with Week 9 losses, however, a perfect 10 will play in the postseason extravaganza.

The IHSA announced the 256-team field Saturday night, along with class and bracket designations and firstround pairings.

The area teams in the field are Lincoln-Way East (7-2), Lockport (6-3) and Joliet West (6-3) in Class 8A; Plainfield North (7-2), Lincoln-Way Central (6-3) and Lincoln-Way West (5-4) in 7A; Lemont (9-0) in 6A; Morris (7-2) in 5A; Coal City (5-4) in 4A, and Wilmington (9-0) in 3A. Those missing out with Week 9 setbacks include Bolingbrook, Plainfield South, Peotone, Seneca and Dwight.

Plainfield South was eliminated in a loss to Minooka, leaving both 4-5 and one victory shy of playoff eligibility. In addition, Providence finished 4-5 after beating Mount Carmel, thus eliminating the Caravan from the postseason.

As usual, finishing 6-3 or better statewide is in the playoffs. There were 63 teams that ended 5-4. Fifty-four are in with 37 or more playoff points (opponent victories), while nine with 36 points or fewer missed the cut.

With 32 teams in each of eight playoff classes, the IHSA seeded teams 1 through 32 in the largest classes, 8A and 7A, by record first, then by playoff points (opponent victories) within each record. The other classes were subdivided.

Following is a rundown on the area qualifiers by class.

8A: You can’t be in 8A and expect anything less than a tough draw. And so it is. No. 27 seed Lockport will travel to No. 6 St. Charles East (9-0), and No. 28 Joliet West will have a rematch as it visits No. 5 Oswego (9-0). In the Southwest Prairie Conference defensive struggle Sept. 3, Oswego managed a 7-3 victory.

If Lockport wins in Round 1, next up would be the Marist (8-1) vs. New Trier (7-2) winner. For Joliet West, the Edwardsville (8-1) vs. Oak Park-River Forest (7-2) winner would be the Round 2 opponent.

Meanwhile, No. 18 Lincoln-Way East also will hit the road, traveling to No. 15 Chicago Taft (8-1). Should the Griffins move on, their next opponent would be the winner of the Hinsdale

32 FOOTBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 47, JOLIET WEST 7

Plainfield North strikes early vs. Joliet West

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – On the first play from scrimmage, Plainfield North quarterback Brady Miller threw a lateral in the right flat to wide receiver TJ Kane.

Fellow wide receiver Connor Peplow, lined up inside of Kane, faked like he was going to block the Joliet West safety, then took off deep and caught a 52-yard touchdown strike from Kane.

Just like that, North was on its way to a monstrous first half and a 47-7 Southwest Prairie Conference victory Friday night over Joliet West in the regular-season finale between two playoff-bound teams.

“That first play was a real confidence booster,” said Peplow, who finished with six catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns. “The credit goes to our coaches for calling that play. It put positive thoughts in our heads for the whole game.”

North (7-2, 7-2), which led, 20-0, with 7:23 still remaining in the first quarter, finished the half with a 32-7 lead and already had 373 yards of offense. Coach Tim Kane’s team ended with 490 total yards and 23 first downs. The running clock kicked on with 3:27 left in third quarter.

Peplow was not alone in doing serious damage to the West defense. Miller went 13 for 19 passing for 167 yards. Tyler Hoosman rushed for 211 yards in 15

With speedy Carlos Baggett sidelined with a toe injury, Dillon McCarthy chipped in 56 yards in three carries, including scoring runs of 30 and 21 yards.

“The first play was a good momentum builder,” Tim Kane said. “TJ [Kane] threw a good ball.

“Of course, Brady [Miller] keeps getting better, and Dillon McCarthy made some great plays. He is a dynamite runner. Tyler Hoosman ran well.

He ran fast and with good power.”

There was another element at work for North’s offense as its line did the job against a formidable West defensive front, which did get two sacks from Julius Garrett.

“Joliet West has some big kids up front,” Tim Kane said. “Our offensive line really stepped up. We challenged them this week to be the better unit out there, and they were.”

After North’s big opening strike, the defense forced a three-and-out, and North drove 64 yards in four plays,

with McCarthy breaking a tackle and scoring from 30 yards out to go up 13-0 with 9:10 left in the quarter. After another West punt, Hoosman took a pitchout from Miller, unleashed a couple of his best moves and went 73 yards to make it 20-0.

“They came out really fast and we came out slow,” West coach Jason Aubry said. “They’re a good team, I was saying that before the game. It was a tough one for us. The good thing is we get to play next week.”

After West scored on Jaxon Aubry’s 15-yard pass to Alex Vonch on the first play of the second quarter, North went on a three-play scoring drive – runs of 20 and 25 yards by Hoosman, followed

by Miller’s 28-yard scoring pass over the middle to Peplow. McCarthy finished the first-half blitz with his 21yard scoring run.

The North defense, meanwhile, limited West (6-3, 6-3), which was without injured back Ezekiel Tulloch for a second straight game, to a net of 21 rushing yards. Jaxon Aubry completed 19 of 34 passes for 162 yards and the touchdown to Vonch, who caught 11 for 122 yards. Aubry was intercepted once, by Kevin Block.

West’s touchdown is the only touchdown North has yielded in the last four games.

“Our defense has been playing real well the past four weeks,” Tim Kane said. “The kids are coachable, disciplined and physical. They come to hit.”

“This was a tough year, especially for the seniors. They hung true and played in the true Hillmen spirit, and that’s all you can ask. The message I am trying to send to the young guys is that they have to have the heart and dedication of the seniors to get back to where we belong.

Plainfield South’s Tom Macari leaps through Minooka’s defense Friday in Minooka. The Cougars fell to the Indians, 39-20. he caught a pass from Zach Gessner (15 of 23, 176) and went 52 yards on the second play of the second quarter to help them to a 15-8 halftime lead.

The Cougars opened the second half with a 15-play series but got stopped on downs at the Indians’ 4. On the next play, Hill burst 96 yards down the left sideline to make it 22-8.

After Nicholas Deppe (13 of 30, 184) tossed a 5-yard scoring pass to Victor Ballard (6 for 115) late in the third

quarter, Hill returned the ensuing kickoff 83 yards to give his team a 29-14 advantage.

“We talked about 3-6 and 4-5 and it was a big difference to our guys and it showed,” Indians coach Paul Forsythe said.

“We scored in the specialty game and defensively, and those are huge.

And any time that 1 (Hill) has the ball, he’s capable of scoring on back-to-back touches.

FOOTBALL: JOLIET CENTRAL 42, ROMEOVILLE 40

Joliet Central snaps Romeoville’s winning streak

By LARRY LINDHOLM

Shaw Media correspondent ROMEOVILLE – Joliet Central scored a huge football victory earlier this season, ending a 57-game losing streak with a 38-35 win over Plainfield Central.

But that wasn’t the Steelmen’s only accomplishment in their first season in the Southwest Prairie Conference.

With JoJo McNair leading the way, they finished Friday night with a seesaw 42-40 victory over Romeoville that ended the Spartans’ three-game winning streak and was not secured until the defense stopped the Spartans’ twopoint conversion try with less than two minutes remaining.

That marked the second time in the second half that the Central defense

“That is the game of football, a human drama where everybody gets a role.”

Oliver Gibson

Romeoville football coach stepped up to stop a key two-point conversion attempt. The first allowed the Steelmen (2-7, 2-7) to maintain a 35-34 lead.

“The coaches got everybody ready, they had a plan and they kept the kids focused,” Central coach Brett Boyter said. “Hopefully, going forward, a win will be the expectation and not the exception.

“Our juniors and sophomores saw

the process that this team went through to get better and they know how to win.

There are no shortcuts.”

The highlights of McNair’s night were touchdown runs of 44, 66 and 33 yards and a pass interception that set up a touchdown.

“He is hard to describe in words,” Boyter said of McNair. “If you watch him, you see a football player, a player who will do what it takes to win and help his team.”

“We knew we would see a lot of No. 1 [McNair], we just didn’t stop him,” Romeoville coach Oliver Gibson said.

Central’s other touchdowns came on Frank Fiegel’s 62-yard run with a screen pass from Zach Wisneski on a third-and-24 play, Zach Schraer’s 5-yard reception from Wisneski and Ernest Grant’s 24-yard run.

“Give Joliet Central credit,” Gibson said. “They came to play, they executed when they had to, they played tough and did all the details.”

Standout back Jordan Nettles scored on runs of 7, 1 and 51 yards and ran for a two-point conversion for Romeoville (36, 3-6). Quarterback Cam Neely threw two touchdown passes to Nolan Soper, the second making it a 42-40 game in the closing minutes, and scored on a 19yard run. But it wasn’t enough.

“That is the game of football, a human drama where everybody gets a role,” Gibson said. “The game is also a journey from the first day of practice to the last play of the last game. These seniors worked hard every day, striving to get better. The record may not show it, the scoreboard may not show it, but I and they know it. They are better.”

MINOOKA – One team was playing for the postseason and the other was playing for pride.

With Isaiah Hill collecting three touchdowns of 50 or more yards, pride wound up trumping the postseason as Minooka dashed Plainfield South’s playoff hopes on Friday by claiming a 39-20 Southwest Prairie Conference victory.

The Indians senior caught a 52-yard pass in the first half and exploded for a 96-yard run and returned a kickoff 83 yards on consecutive touches during the third quarter.

“My teammates opened a lot of holes for me and I was able to exploit them,” Hill said. “Coming into the game, I felt like since this was our last game and we weren’t going to the playoffs so that every time I touched the ball, I had to do something with it.

“This feels awesome. I’m so glad that me and my brothers got it done and went out with a bang.

“And we took them out of the playoffs, which ultimately was our goal, so we’re happy.”

Minooka (4-5, 4-5) took the early lead with 4:30 left in the first quarter when a snap on a punt hit a blocker and was scooped up by Jake Loebbaka, who returned it five yards.

After South (4-5, 4-5) evened things at 8-8 on a 31-yard run by Sayvaun Roberts just over a minute later, Hill (7 for 123) put the hosts back in front when

“I’m just really proud of our kids and how they came out and played and showed that they have some heart.

They came out and played hard and showed that they wanted this win.”

In the final quarter, Minooka’s Brennan Loughran kicked a 33-yard field goal and Bryson Dowdle fell on a loose ball in the end zone following a hard hit from Christopher Knapp.

In between, South also got a one-yard scoring run from Veshawn Ward.

Despite trailing most of the night, the Cougars certainly didn’t go down without a good fight. They were seven of 10 on fourth-down conversions, and in the final half had 59 plays from scrimmage compared with just 15 for the Indians. The Cougars also received a big effort from receiver Tom Macari (10 for 122).

“We fought,” Cougars coach Bill Bicker said. “I’m so proud of our offense because we had to get out of our comfort zone in some of the things that we wanted to do.

“The kids have heart and don’t quit.

It was a great senior group. The kids here love to play physical football so we can build from that, and we will.

You can’t ask for anything more from your kids than that.

“They made some big plays and Hill is wearing the right jersey number (1) since he’s pretty special. I’m disappointed for our kids. I would do anything that I could to give them that playoff spot. I’ll think about everything that I could have done so they could have gotten that.”

34 FOOTBALL: WILMINGTON 34, COAL CITY 14

Wilmington pulls away from rival Coal City

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent WILMINGTON – In the last eight editions of the Interstate Eight Conference football rivalry between Wilmington and Coal City, each had won four.

On this Friday night, Coal City (5-4) played the undefeated Wildcats even at 7-7 until midway through the second quarter as numerous skirmishes had occurred between the rivals.

Wilmington (9-0), however, struck for three touchdowns in the last 5:30 of the first half and won the I-8 crossover, 34-14. Owen Weaver rushed for 171 of his 178 yards in the first half.

He scored three touchdowns, giving him 30 for the season, as the Wildcats completed their 11th undefeated regular season in coach Jeff Reents’ 23 seasons.

Weaver started the scoring when he raced 60 yards with less than two minutes gone. Coal City’s Brock Crawford recovered a Weaver fumble at the Coalers’ 49 with six minutes left in the first quarter. An 11-play, 51-yard Coal City scoring drive was capped by a 2-yard touchdown run from sophomore Connor Skubic (11 carries, 30 yards). A 16-yard completion to the 2 from Christian Johnson (8 of 18, 84 yards) to Jack Chapman set up the score.

With 5:52 left in the half, Weaver scored his second touchdown from 2 yards out and with Alex Hatten’s second of four successful conversions, the Wildcats led 14-7. Less than a minute later, Wilmington linebacker Brent

Paul Bergstrom for Shaw Media

Wilmington’s Dustin Kelly (20) tackles Coal City’s TJ Jezik during the game Friday at Wilmington High School. The Wildcats defeated the Coalers, 34-14.

McWilliams intercepted a Johnson pass at the Wildcats’ 15-yard line. Sophomore quarterback Connor Dempsay (seven carries, 117 yards) electrified the huge senior night crowd at Jeff Reents Stadium with a 57-yard run to the Coalers’ 24. Dustin Kelly (eight carries, 50 yards, two TDs) scored from there with 3:42 left in the half.

“I owe all of my success to my team-

mates,” Dempsay said. “My offensive line did a great job and this was a big win for us.”

“It’s all about the team here at Wilmington, “ McWilliams said. “A great team win and on to the playoffs.”

Dempsay and Kelly hooked up on a 44-yard pass play, setting up Weaver’s third touchdown from 2 yards out with 26 seconds left in the half.

“It’s great to beat our rivals from Coal City and I am really proud we accomplished another undefeated regular season,” Kelly said. “Connor is a solid quarterback, and I ran my route and he got me the ball.”

Kelly scored his 10th touchdown of the season from 9 yards out with 5:59 left in the third quarter.

Coal City’s Nick Hayden closed the scoring on a 30-yard TD run in the fourth quarter.

“My offensive line makes everything I do possible,” Weaver said.

“They block and I just run behind them.”

Coal City qualified for the Class 4A playoffs and will be on the road next weekend in the first round.

“We just got beat up physically,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen. “We played Wilmington close in the first quarter, but they just manhandled us.

That’s the tale of the tape and we tip our hats to them. The best thing about this is we can regroup, have a great week of practice and play another football game next week.”

Wilmington will host a Class 3A first-round game.

“I really believe going 9-0 in the I-8 will help prepare us for the playoffs,” Reents said. “We controlled the line of scrimmage and played really well against our rivals. Give Coal City credit. They forced us to make some adjustments and we responded very well at the close of the first half.

“Connor (Dempsay) is a special kid who really takes the pressure off Owen (Weaver), another special kid who just does his job.”

FOOTBALL: METEA VALLEY 42, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 21

Lincoln-Way Central loses shot at home playoff game

By DENNIS NELSON

Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – You score, I score, twice.

Twice, Metea Valley responded to Lincoln-Way Central touchdowns with two scores during their nonconference season finale Friday night. The end result was a 42-21 loss for the Knights on senior night.

Lincoln-Way Central fell to 6-3 but will live to fight another week after earning a spot in the state playoffs.

Metea Valley, which finished next to last in the DuPage Valley Conference, ended 3-6.

“We knew coming into this game

they had a really good offense,” Central coach Jeremy Cordell said. “There are some things we didn’t do defensively. We missed assignments and things we need to correct no matter who we play.”

The loss cost the Knights a chance at hosting a first-round game. State seeds, pairings and matchups were released Saturday night.

“We’re by no means happy or satisfied the way we finished the season,” Cordell said. “We have to find a way to flush it quickly and get to work. We are blessed that we’re 6-3 and we’re in the playoffs. This isn’t the way we wanted to end Week 9.”

After the teams traded quick scores

to open the game, Metea Valley reeled off 14 straight points to take a 21-7 lead at the half.

The visitors needed four plays to take a 7-0 lead. Central needed three plays to tie it as Nico Muto rambled 61 yards to set up a 20-yard touchdown run by Mitch Hosman, tying the score with 9:05 left in the first quarter.

Metea Valley marched 90 yards to take the lead for good. Central fumbled twice in the second quarter, the second leading to a touchdown and a 21-7 spread at the half.

Trailing 28-14 after three quarters, Muto’s 3-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter cut the Metea Valley lead to 28-21. The Mus-

tangs responded with a pair of scores to put it away.

The Knights’ offense had three turnovers, two leading to scores. Matt Pollack led Central with 137 yards on six carries. Muto also finished with 100 yards rushing on 11 carries. Metea Valley totaled 477 yards.

“We’re not going to detour from the plan,” Pollack said. “Win or lose, we’re going to get back to work and get better. We don’t know who we are going to play next week, but we have to get better just like every week and that’s not going to change. Our kids are hungry and they are fighters. I’m looking forward to getting back to work and get ready for next week.”

Providence knocks Mount Carmel out of playoff picture

Morris’ Michael Feeney runs the ball in for a touchdown against Geneseo on Friday. The Redskins defeated the Maple Leafs, 41-14.

Morris posts another dominant win

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For the third straight week, the Morris offense churned out yards like a well-oiled machine Friday night, and the Redskins overpowered Geneseo, 41-14, in a Northern Illinois Big XII crossover game to end the regular season with a 7-2 record.

With the win and their number of playoff points, it almost assures the Redskins of hosting a firstround playoff game. That suits them fine, as both of their losses this season have come on the road.

They are 6-0 at home this season, winning by an average of 37-8.

Perhaps more important than playing at home, though, is the way they have played the past three weeks, beating Kaneland, Sycamore and Geneseo in convincing fashion.

“I love the way we are playing right now,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “You want to head into the playoffs playing your best, and I think our last three games have been very good. We beat three good teams down the stretch and did it pretty handily.”

On Friday, the Redskins got behind their mammoth offensive

line of Jared Akin (6-3, 224), Dylan Swartz (5-10, 261), Nolan Feeney (6-2, 277), Brennan Goff (6-2, 297) and Nathan Korte (6-5, 293) and ran for more than 400 yards. Michael Feeney had his third straight game of more than 100, leading the way with 113 yards and two touchdowns.

Keagan Sobol opened the scoring with a bruising 66-yard touchdown run on which he ran over a defender at the line of scrimmage and dragged two more about 15 yards into the end zone and finished with 88 yards. Michael Gerischer ran for 84 yards, while Kyion Willis (57 yards) and Ricky Del Favero (33 yards) also had TD runs. Del Favero added 86 passing yards, including a 30-yard scoring pass to Nathaniel Halcomb, as the Redskins finished with 517 yards in total offense.

“I’ve said it all year,” Sobol said. “It starts with the guys up front. They keep opening up big holes and that makes it a lot easier for us to run when they are doing that. The O-line has done a great job all year.”

The win was a little more special for Akin, the lone senior of the front wall.

“It felt great to win on senior

night,” Akin said. “Especially after last year. My brother was a senior last year and we got beat on senior night. This year, we hope we can play as many games at home as we can. I would love to play two more home games.”

Akin also said that the offensive line has worked hard all year to become the cohesive unit that they have been of late.

“Everyone works really hard,” he said. “Before every game and before every practice, we line up and go through our spots and make sure we are all going to the right places and know where we are going to be on each play.

“It’s also good to know that if we do our jobs, the backs are going to hit the hole hard and keep going.

They trust us to do our job, and we trust them to do theirs.”

Akin also helps anchor the defensive line, and that group helped limit Geneseo to just 130 rushing yards.

“Everyone wants to talk about our running backs,” Thorson said.

“But our defense has been outstanding this year, too. We have totally shut down some very good teams this year. I am really happy with how we are playing heading into the playoffs.”

NEW LENOX – Go out with a bang.

For Providence Catholic coach Mark Coglianese and his Celtics, already knowing that they were not eligible for the playoffs made it that much more important to finish the season strong.

“It was a rough season and we have higher expectations for Providence football, but we wanted to win tonight for the seniors,” Coglianese said.

Richie Warfield rushed for 103 yards on 24 carries and scored once Friday night while quarterback Jared Drake completed 15 of 22 passes for 157 yards and a touchdown to lead the Celtics to a 17-6 victory over Chicago Catholic Blue rival Mount Carmel, eliminating the Caravan from the playoffs. Warfield and Drake are two of those seniors.

“Knowing that this was going to be my last game wearing the green, I just wanted to give everything that I had,” Warfield said. “Our defense really stepped up.”

Providence also had a significant contribution from junior wideout Dakota Kotowski (six catches, 95 yards, TD). Mount Carmel (4-5, 0-4) was led by Alek Thomas (13 carries, 103 yards, 4 of 9 passing, 48 yards) and Phazione McClurge (four catches, 64 yards).

Providence (4-5, 1-3) had 348 yards of offense while limiting the Caravan to 227. The Celtics defense also forced one turnover.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Celtics missed a golden opportunity to take the lead when on a fourth-and-goal from the Caravan 4, Drake’s pass to Warfield in the flat went incomplete.

Mount Carmel saw its best scoring chance to that points also go by the wayside as Thomas broke free and rumbled for 35 yards to the Celtics’ 2-yard line, but he was stripped of the ball from behind.

The Celtics responded with a 14-play, 98-yard drive that culminated with a Drake 20-yard touchdown pass to Kotowski for a 7-0 lead with 1:03 left until halftime.

“I was trying to use my strength and height to my advantage tonight,” Kotowski said. “We really wanted to come out and play hard and try to win for the seniors.”

Mount Carmel moved the ball against the Celtics in a two-minute drill over the last minute of the half and got a Nathan La Branch 25-yard field goal as time expired to make it 7-3 at half.

Providence regained momentum after receiving the second-half kickoff and put together a nine-play, 80-yard drive capped by a Warfield 15yard touchdown run for a 14-3 lead with 8:33 left in the third quarter.

“We said after last week that no matter what our record is we still play hard for the integrity of the school and to give it our all tonight in the face of any adversity,” Warfield said.

Lincoln-Way East bounces back, blanks Lockport

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media corespondent FRANKFORT – Lincoln-Way East, bouncing back from a 38-21 loss to unbeaten Bradley-Bourbonnais in Week 8, continued its dominance over Lockport on Friday night with a 28-0 SouthWest Suburban Conference victory.

“This has been a long week and this game couldn’t get here fast enough,” East coach Rob Zvonar said. “These kids prepared hard all week and we beat a very good Lockport team. Football is not a sport like baseball where you can get back at it right away. The loss to Bradley left a bad taste in our mouth, but this team was ready to get back after it tonight.”

East (7-2, 5-2) built a 21-0 halftime lead and scored once in the third quarter to seal the victory.

Lockport held the Griffins to a threeand-out on the initial possession of the game. But Griffins defensive back Kyle Costanza intercepted Porters sophomore quarterback Jacob Karli on the very next play and brought it back to the Lockport 15-yard line.

Two plays later, East quarterback Jake Arthur ran 9 yards for the touch-

“Jacob [Karli] is picking up the offense well. He has only practiced with us for five days. We will use this game as a learning experience and prepare for the second season next week.”

Dan Starkey

Lockport football coach down with 9:49 left in the first quarter.

“That was a big play to get that interception and I’m so happy for Kyle,” Zvonar said.

Lockport (6-3, 4-3) then turned the ball over again as running back Tavares Moore (106 yards on 14 attempts) fumbled, but the Porters’ defense held the Griffins to a three-and-out.

Lockport then drove the ball to the East 14-yard line but came up empty on a fourth-and-1 play. It was the first of four trips into the red zone for the Porters, only to come up empty each time.

“We moved the ball well tonight,” Lockport coach Dan Starkey said. “We just couldn’t finish. We had opportunities and I really thought we should have gone into halftime tied, 14-14.”

East scored on two consecutive possessions to end the first half as Arthur

hit Nick Zelenika with a 15-yard touchdown pass and then Nigel Muhammad contributed a 12-yard touchdown run with 54 seconds left before intermission to account for the 21-0 halftime lead.

Arthur ended the night hitting 9 for 14 passes for 107 yards to five different receivers to go along with his touchdown run and pass.

“It all starts with our offensive line,” Arthur said. “They are what makes our offense go and they did an excellent job. Our receivers are great and I know if I can get them the ball, they will catch it.”

Ryan Scianna finished the scoring with a 4-yard run to put the Griffins up, 28-0, with 3:52 left in the third quarter.

“Jacob [Karli] is picking up the offense well,” Starkey said. “He has only practiced with us for five days. We will use this game as a learning experience and prepare for the second season next week. We are excited to be back in the playoffs, and we are taking it one game at a time.”

East used three running backs extensively as Brendan Morrissey chipped in 74 yards, along with Muhammad’s 57 yards and Scianna’s 27 yards. Those three combined for 23 carries.

“It’s pretty special to have what I call a three-headed monster at running back for us,” Zvonar said.

“They are pretty special and all three can run the ball. You team them up with our two quarterbacks in Arthur and Max Shafer, along with our offensive line, who keeps getting better each week, and our offense is looking good.”

ORLAND PARK – Having not done enough to win Friday night, all Lincoln-Way West’s football team could do Saturday night was wait and hope their number was called.

The angst came about because Sandburg beat the Warriors, 20-14, in double overtime before about 1,200 spectators, most of them stunned no matter which side they rooted for.

Lincoln-Way West (5-4, 3-3 SouthWest Suburban) fell despite outgaining the Eagles (4-5, 3-3) by 99 yards. With rare exception, what the Warriors couldn’t do was finish.

“That’s been the story of our season,” West coach Dave Ernst said. “We’ve had opportunities in every game we’ve lost but one. They [Sandburg] beat us because they made plays when they had to and we didn’t.”

Sandburg’s two biggest plays came in overtime. First, Colin Friedsam’s 15yard pass to John Murphy in the second overtime, their second touchdown collaboration of the night. That lifted the Eagles to the 20-14 lead they would win by, and came after field-goal attempts by both kickers failed in the first extra session.

Second, Jaimie Marines’ subsequent interception of West’s Cal Pohrte. Marines camped in the right corner of the

end zone and stepped up for the game’s third pick of Pohrte when it mattered most.

“I saw him rolling out, and he had to throw it soon, so I jumped it,” Marines said. “When I had the ball, I was so excited I wanted to take it for six.”

Marines ran it out to about the 30yard line, then realized the game was over if he hit the turf. He did. It was.

Pohrte (15 of 30, 154 yards) threw two interceptions on West’s first three drives, and the other stalled at Sandburg’s 3-yard line.

Sandburg led, 14-7, for most of the second half, until the Warriors tied it on a 78-yard drive capped by Pohrte’s 10yard completion to Matthew Murphy, and Brock Krohe’s point-after kick, with 50.6 seconds left in regulation.

Sandburg forged its lead through a 25-yard blocked punt return by Colin Dominski and a 22-yard touchdown pass from Friedsam to Murphy, the latter score with 36.9 seconds left in the half.

West’s offense was often out of sync.

An early exception was its scoring drive, a seven-play, 43-yard match that finished with Justin LaBuhn’s 15-yard scoot around right end with 3:03 left in the half.

“We don’t control our destiny now,” Ernst said as the Warriors left the field.

“Hopefully we get lucky and get a second life. If we hit one play, we win.”

38 GIRLS TENNIS: 1A SECTIONALS

JCA’s Bauer-Hutchison claim 1A doubles title

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com BUFFALO GROVE – Joliet Catholic Academy seniors Maddie Bauer and McCoy Hutchison arrived at the Girls State Tennis Tournament knowing they had a chance to accomplish something special.

After all, the four-year doubles team had lost one set all season – that to Benet’s Katie Telford and Pauline Neubert on a tiebreaker in the semifinals of the Class 1A Benet Sectional a week earlier – and they were the No. 1 seed at state.

Being recognized as potentially the best, and actually going out and proving it, are two different things.

Yet Bauer and Hutchison were up to the challenge. They beat a familiar opponent in Telford and Neubert in the championship match Saturday, 6-4, 6-1, to finish the season 33-0 and become the first 1A championship doubles team in state history.

“We’re so excited,” Hutchison said shortly after it ended. “We had a huge hug when we got the last point. It was the best feeling ever.”

“To be state champions, it’s awesome,” Bauer said. “We had confidence all season, and it was our communication that got us here. Our coach, Bob Tomasino (JCA assistant who works

largely with doubles under head coach Terry Wrona), talked with us all season about keeping our heads straight and staying under control. He deserves a lot of credit for this.”

Hutchison said the credit for the title goes equally to the two players “and to our coach. He was great.”

The championship doubles effort, coupled with freshman Nina Bertino’s run to the consolation semifinals in singles, gave the Angels second place in the team standings with 21 points behind only Benet’s 22. Bloomington Central Catholic, Rock Island Alleman and Chicago Latin all had 20 and Chicago U-High totaled 19.

“Mia did so great as a freshman,” Hutchison said of Bertino, who went 4-2 at state.

The Bauer-Hutchison duo has been paired since freshman year.

This was their fourth year at state, third as sectional champs, but in the first three years, girls tennis was in one class.

“I think it was nice to have two classes for girls tennis,” Bauer said.

“There are more opportunities. We played against great teams in both (one-class system and 1A).”

The first set Saturday against Telford and Neubert was key. Bauer-Hutchison led 3-1, trailed 4-3, then won the last three games for the 6-4 vic-

“We had momentum at that point but no matter what, we knew we could not let up,” Hutchison said.

“Benet definitely was the best opponent we faced all season, and they beat us in a set last week, so there was pressure until we ended it,” said Bauer, who, like Hutchison, is an excellent student and will attend a large university and not play college tennis.

Also in Class 1A, Morris senior Megan Davy, in her fourth trip to state, finished 3-2 and was ousted in the fifth round of consolation.

Among other entry entries that

played into Friday in the three-day, double-elimination event, Joliet West Co-op junior Eileen Carney went 3-2, dropping out in the fourth round of consolation in Class 2A on a 4-6, 6-3, 10-7 loss to Sienna Lopez of Glenbard West.

The Lockport 2A doubles team of Tom Jo Mansell and Mary Kate Burcheitt finished 2-2 and was ousted in the third round of consolation. The Lincoln-Way East doubles teams of Jade Christensen-Caroline Kilrea and Makenzie Helsel-Cassie Weyker also reached the third round of consolation and finished 2-2.

3A REGIONAL BOYS SOCCER: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 3, PLAINFIELD EAST 0

Plainfield Central blanks rival East in regional final

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent GENEVA – No Plainfield District 202 school has ever won an IHSA boys soccer regional championship.

Until now.

After suffering a 3-1 defeat to rival Plainfield East in a Southwest Prairie Conference matchup Sept. 6, Plainfield Central turned the tables Saturday on the Bengals. After battling though a scoreless first half, Central exploded for three second-half goals and rolled to a 3-0 Class 3A Geneva Regional title-game victory.

Central, the 15th seed in the Class 3A Bolingbrook Sectional, shocked No. 2 Naperville Central, 1-0, in a regional semifinal. Then, No. 10 Plainfield East surprised Geneva, 1-0, to set up the all-Plainfield final.

The teams battled through a score-

less first half as East goalkeeper Manuel Gutierrez and Plainfield Central’s Shane Badertscher made spectacular saves.

With 31 minutes left, Plainfield Central junior Edgar Cardenas scored a picture-perfect goal off an outstanding assist from Roger Vera to make it 1-0.

“Amazing feeling to win the regional championship,” Cardenas said. “East humiliated us in the earlier loss and it felt so good to get us on the scoreboard.

We have won a regional championship, now we want to win the sectional.”

East’s Ceaser Montes, whose goal defeated Geneva, picked up a penalty kick, a laser that Badertscher knocked down off his chest. Montes jumped on the rebound but was denied by another unbelievable Badertscher save.

“I had to come up big on the penalty kick from Montes,” Badertscher. “I was able to keep the ball in front of me and to

move with Montes and get the rebound.

“Edgar (Cardenas) gave us the early lead with his goal and I had to preserve the lead. It feels great to be the first Plainfield school to take home a regional championship. I feel with the way we are playing now we can move on in the sectional.”

With 8:01 left, Central’s Hunter Fuss picked the pocket of an East defender and kicked a rocket past Gutierrez for a 2-0 lead.

“I saw the opportunity to steal the ball and stole it and scored, “ Fuss said.

“We were mentally tough and that is how we win. We were definitely motivated to win today after the loss to East.”

With a minute remaining, Josh De Avila scored for the 3-0 final.

“I am just so excited that we are the first Plainfield school, to take home a regional championship,” De Avila said.

“I spent my freshman year at East, which made the win equally enjoyable for me.”

“I am so proud of my kids for an outstanding season,” coach Cosimo Patano of East (12-9-2) said. “We got a taste of regional championship play. This will give us confidence next year to go even further.”

Plainfield Central (12-10-1) will play at 7 p.m. Wednesday in a Bolingbrook Sectional semifinal.

“The kids played exceptionally well today,” Central coach Kevin Fitzgerald said. “Shane (Badertscher) probably saved the game for us with his amazing two saves on the East penalty kick. Edgar (Cardenas) got us started and Hunter’s tenacious play led to his great goal.

Josh (De Avila), who was all over the field, got the clincher. We want to enjoy this win this weekend and then go to work.”

Joining the Porters and Mustangs at next Saturday’s Marist Sectional at Midlothian Meadows are Plainfield North (third, 95), Plainfield South (fourth, 109), Bolingbrook (fifth, 121), Downers Grove North (sixth, 130) and Benet Academy (sixth, 130), as well as four individuals from Plainfield East and another from Plainfield Central.

“The girls did what they needed to do,” Truesdale said. “I told them they needed to take it out hard and they’re used to this course so we had an advantage here. We looked really good on

the hills and that’s where we improved the most. It was good to see us compete with a team like Downers Grove South.

“We had a couple of injuries early in the week, but we pushed through and those kids ran like champs. I love how my seniors have all of this knowledge and experience and how our freshmen have no clue and just run but both things work for us.”

Plainfield North was led by Juliana Stogsdill (second, 18:44), Megan Patton (third, 18:51) and Lauren Super (24th, 20:31).

LOCKPORT – The distinctive landscape at historic Dellwood Park has long served as an excellent home course advantage for Lockport’s cross country teams.

Such was the case again at Saturday’s Class 3A Lockport Regional when the Porters girls made the most of the hilly terrain not only to get an individual title from Morgan Bollinger but also give Downers Grove South a run for its money for the team title.

With senior Bollinger claiming first in 18:40 and teammates Karlee Stortz (sixth, 19:06) and Madison Polinski (eighth, 19:14) also placing in the top 10, Lockport scored 48 points, which was five behind the Mustangs. Coach Erin Truesdale’s squad also got scoring efforts from Aubrey Friedrich (16th, 19:59) and Alexandra Skibicki (17th, 20:00).

“Downers Grove South has an amazing team and we knew that going in,” Bollinger said. “But because it’s our home course, we’re super-strong on these hills. We wanted to have an awesome race on our home course so that we’d get as close to their team as we could.

“It was really exciting to win this race. I knew there would be some really great individuals in this race and with it being my senior year on our home course, I really wanted to go out strong in my last race here. This has been awesome year for us since we have a great mixture of returners and new girls. We’re all super close, both

“It was nice to compete against some of these teams to see how they run,” Patton said. “Obviously the hills aren’t fun but you get through them.

Juliana and I have been working on moving up through the season and are hoping to both be in the top 10 next week. I’ve dropped my time a lot so I think good things will come in the next two weeks.”

Plainfield South was led by Greta Carlberg (fourth, 18:54), Alexis Grigg (14th, 19:50) and Megan Worm (25th, 20:33). Leading the way for Bolingbrook were Madison Shroda (15th, 19:53), Natalia Hernandez (18th, 20:05) and Arianna Amill (19th, 20:22).

Downers Grove North had five of the top six runners to win the boys race with 17 points. Downers Grove South (86) nipped Plainfield South (86) for second thanks to the sixth runner.

Plainfield North (fourth, 96), Lockport (fifth, 179) and Plainfield East (sixth, 182) also advanced, as did two runners from Romeoville and one from Bolingbrook.

Plainfield South was paced by Stephen Merriweather (seventh, 16:28), Andrew Nunez (13th, 16:36), Christian Knowlton (18th, 16:48) and Timmy Wade (19th, 16:51). Plainfield North was led by Omar Paramo (eighth, 16:29), Ben Otstott (11th, 16:34) and Ethan Prior (12th, 16:35).

Other top local runners were Plainfield East’s Emmanuel Angomas (14th, 16:38), Romeoville’s Justin Suits (15th, 16:41), Lockport’s Donovan Paske (21st, 16:55) and Cade Musich (22nd, 16:56) and Bolingbrook’s Tyler Cushing (24th, 17:00).

40 3A ANDREW CROSS COUNTRY REGIONAL

Lincoln-Way Central girls, Lincoln-Way East boys win

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent ORLAND PARK – Depth is an important part of any successful cross country team and that was evident Saturday at Turtle Head Lake in the Class 3A Andrew Regional cross country meet.

The top six teams and the next five individuals not on an advancing team qualified for next Saturday’s sectional on the campus of Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville.

The Lincoln-Way Central girls placed their top five among the top nine runners of the race to easily win the title with 32 points. They did not run their top two runners, Kelly Robbins and Madison Smith.

Mackenzie Brownrigg placed third (18:58), followed by Rachel Baumgartner fifth (19:16), Lexy Sams seventh (19:17), Madison Brownrigg eighth (19:17) and Gretchen Zirgaitis ninth (19:25). The Knights’ sixth runner, Samantha Waters, placed 10th (19:25).

“Depth is our strength and to come in here today with our eighth and ninth runners and run so well makes me proud of this team,” Central coach Jack Young said. “We wanted to win, but we also held out Kelly and Madison

“We knew it would not be hard to qualify for sectionals, I think all the Lincoln-Way schools knew that and we all trained pretty hard this week getting ready for the sectional meet on a hilly course in Edwardsville.”

Ross Widinski

Lincoln-Way East cross country coach to get ready for the sectional meet on the hilly Edwardsville course.”

Also advancing to next week’s sectional, were Lincoln-Way East (46 points), Lincoln-Way West (83), Joliet Central (107), Andrew (162) and Bloom Township (175).

East was led by individual champion Jenna Couwenhoven (18:42). The Griffins also had a sixth-place finish from Olivia Jacobs (19:16).

“I just wanted to stay with the leaders and then see what I had the last mile,” said Couwenhoven, a sophomore. “It feels pretty good to be the regional champion.”

West was lead by two top 10 finishes as Jenna Diers was second (18:49) and Teagen Lyke placed fourth (19:02).

Laisha Corona paced Joliet Central with a 15th-place finish.

Providence Catholic’s Savannah

Baker advanced as an individual with a 14th-place finish in 19:43.

For the boys race, the top two teams from the girls race switched positions, as Lincoln-Way East placed four in the top seven to win with 32 points and Lincoln-Way Central was second with 51. Lincoln-Way West (69), Andrew (119), Joliet Central (122) and Homewood-Flossmoor rounded out the team qualifiers.

“We knew it would not be hard to qualify for sectionals,” East coach Ross Widinski said.

“I think all the Lincoln-Way schools knew that and we all trained pretty hard this week getting ready for the sectional meet on a hilly course in Edwardsville. Next week there will be a lot of good teams there and if our top four can run like today and our fifth runner moves up a little, we should be

sitting well to get a state qualifying position.”

The Griffins were lead by champion Noah Healy with a time of 15:27. Brett Gardner placed third (15:45), Scott Platek was fourth (15:54), Mike Trost seventh (16:05) and Will Evans 17th (16:38).

“That was hard and fast,” Healy said, recovering from the effort. “Brett, Scott and I planned to go out strong together and then really get after it the last mile. Next week will be a lot tougher, but we will be ready.”

Central had two in the top 10, with Zak Hutchinson sixth (16:00) and Jaren Kreis ninth (16:08).

“We did what we needed to today,” Central coach John Taylor said. “We have been working all season for the hills of Edwardsville that we will see next weekend.”

West was without its No. 1 runner, Evan Mitchell, as he is recovering from a minor injury.

“I’ll be fine for next week and state,” Mitchell said. “I just want to be really healthy for the next two weeks.”

Ryan Taylor led the Warriors with the runner-up spot in 15:33 and John Stiglic was fifth (15:58).

Joliet Central was led by the eighthplace finish of Oscar Tejeda (16:07).

2A BOYS SOCCER REGIONALS: PROVIDENCE 4, LEMONT 1

Providence beats Lemont to advance to own sectional

Picard scores first 3 to lead Celtics to regional title

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com LEMONT – When Providence Catholic’s boys soccer team learned that it would get to host a sectional and could meet the team that eliminated them from the playoffs last year, George Washington, in the semifinals, it was easy to forget that they needed to win a regional first.

But Celtics coach Dan Potempa and his squad knew that regardless of the seeds, nothing was going to come easily in Saturday’s Class 2A Lemont Regional title match against the always-tough Indians, who were playing on their home field.

And Providence definitely had its hands full against Lemont until it converted a penalty and then scored three more times late to open things up in a 4-1 victory which advances it to Tuesday’s 6:30 p.m. match with the Patriots at Bishop Kaffer stadium.

Luke Picard scored his team’s initial three goals, including a key penalty in the 52nd minute to put the Celtics (11-8-1) in front for good. Providence, who won back-to-back regional titles for the first time since

2003-04, now faces Washington, which beat them, 4-0, in last year’s sectional finals. Bremen meets Morris in Tuesday’s earlier semifinal match.

“We knew that this was going to be a tough game,” Potempa said. “As soon as the seeds came out, we knew that we’d get Lemont and that it would be a battle since their record did not show who they were at all. They really did a good job of keeping us in check.

“I knew that with the ball on Luke’s foot on a PK, he’s making it. From there, that was going to open things up. It really got our boys going and they were pumped up and ready to go. They needed that little spark, I just wish that we could have gotten it earlier, but I’ll take it.”

Following a rather uneventful first half, the Celtics caught a big break not long after the break when a foul was called in the box following a corner kick

by Jacob Purvis. Picard put in the subsequent penalty, and the Indians lost a player right after that to change the dynamics.

Providence began to get most of the good chances with Picard and Purvis applying most of the pressure, while Marty Biskis and Daniel Zuniga countered for the hosts.

In the 73rd minute, Picard got free and was able to connect to make it a 2-0 contest and then he scored again in the 78th minute, following an assist from Jack McAllister.

“This win feels good,” Picard said. “We kind of

had a slow start at first but once that PK went in, we didn’t stop from there. I feel really good since we’re all working together as a team.

On Tuesday we host the sectional so we should have a few fans there. We have more motivation now since we have home-field advantage, which should be huge in the sectional.”

During a frenzied final 75 seconds, each squad collected a goal. The Indians scored when Zach Counsil made a penalty and Cam Cutler connected a bit before the final whistle.

After winning seven in a row and claiming the sectional’s top seed, the Celtics lost four straight to end the regular season. With center back Jack Barrett lost to injury, they moved keeper Billy Griffiths to defense and Scottie Slocum to goal and thus far things are working out for Providence, which seeks its first sectional title since Brad Guzan was there in 2002.

“We were getting chances but were having problems finding the net,” Slocum said. “Once Luke scored that penalty, it really sparked us to get more goals. Lemont’s record doesn’t show good of a team they are since they’ve played quality teams and are a great program.

“Beating a team like this on their field is a huge boost, especially going into the sectional on our home turf. It’s going to be a big-time moment for us and the next games should be fun.”

Cubs win NL pennant, advance to 1st World Series since 1945

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Cursed by a billy goat, bedeviled by Bartman and crushed by decades of disappointment, the Chicago Cubs are at long last headed back to the World Series.

Kyle Hendricks outpitched Clayton Kershaw, Anthony Rizzo and Willson Contreras homered early and the Cubs won their first pennant since 1945, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-0, Saturday night in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series.

The drought ended when closer Aroldis Chapman got Yasiel Puig to ground into a double play, setting off a wild celebration inside Wrigley Field, outside the ballpark and all over the city.

Seeking their first crown since 1908, manager Joe Maddon’s team opens the World Series at Cleveland on Tuesday night. The Indians haven’t won it all since

1948 – Cleveland and Cubs have the two longest title waits in the majors.

“This city deserves it so much,” Rizzo said. “We got four more big ones to go, but we’re going to enjoy this.

We’re going to the World Series. I can’t even believe that.”

All-everything Javier Baez and pitcher Jon Lester shared the NLCS MVP. Baez hit .318, drove in five runs and made several sharp plays at second base. Lester, a former World Series champion in Boston, was 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts against the Dodgers.

Deemed World Series favorites since opening day, the Cubs topped the majors with 103 wins to win the NL Central, then beat the Giants and Dodgers in the playoffs.

The Cubs overcame a 2-1 deficit against the Dodgers and won their 17th pennant. They had not earned a World Series trip since winning a doubleheader opener, 4-3, at Pittsburgh on Sept. 29, 1945, to clinch the pen-

nant on the next-to-last day of the season.

The eternal “wait till next year” is over. No more dwelling on a history of failure – the future is now.

“We’re too young. We don’t care about it,” star slugger Kris Bryant said. “We don’t look into it. This is a new team, this is a completely different time of our lives. We’re enjoying it, and our work’s just getting started.”

Hendricks pitched two-hit ball for 71/3 innings.

Chapman took over and closed with hitless relief, then threw both arms in the air as he was mobbed by teammates and coaches.

The crowd joined in, chanting and serenading their team.

“Chicago!” popular backup catcher David Ross shouted.

The Cubs shook off back-to-back shutout losses earlier in this series by pounding the Dodgers for 23 runs to win the final three games.

42 USF 20, LINDENWOOD UNIVERSITY BELLEVILLE 13

USF wins third straight to reach .500 mark SUBMITTED REPORT

BELLEVILLE – University of St. Francis held Lindenwood University-Belleville to 73 yards in the second half en route to a 20-13 nonconference football victory Saturday afternoon.

With its third straight win, USF reached the .500 mark at 4-4. Lindenwood-Belleville is 0-7.

USF scored all of its points in the first half. On the first possession, quarterback Don Butkus connected with Brandon Ruffin on a 32-yard touchdown pass to take the early lead. The Lynx countered later in the

first quarter with a 34-yard scoring strike.

Grayson Barnette made a 37-yard field goal in the opening minute of the second quarter for a 10-6 Saints lead. With under two minutes remaining in the half, Kody Randa intercepted a pass, giving USF the ball in the Lynx red zone. Three plays later, Butkus found Ruffin in the end zone from 16 yards away.

Lindenwood-Belleville fumbled the ensuing kickoff, setting up Luke Nelson’s 48-yard field goal – the first of his career – to put USF on top 20-6 at halftime.

Lindenwood-Belleville scored the only points of the second half on a 6-yard Quentin Edwards run late

MICHIGAN 41, ILLINOIS 8

BIG TEN HIGHLIGHTS

No. 3 Michigan tops Illini

By LARRY LAGE

The Associated Press ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Wilton Speight threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns in three quarters before watching No. 3 Michigan finish off Illinois, 41-8, Saturday.

The Wolverines (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) were leading 34-0 in the fourth quarter when Jim Harbaugh put backup quarterback John O’Korn in the game and rested Speight.

The Fighting Illini (2-5, 1-3) were relegated to starting their third-string quarterback with a familiar name. Jeff George Jr., son of the former Illinois and NFL quarterback, was 4 of 15 for 95 yards with a TD, an interception and a fumble in his first start. The redshirt freshman played because Wes Lunt and Chayce Crouch are injured.

Speight, who completed 16 of 23 passes, threw a 3-yard TD pass to Jake Butt and a 21-yard pass to Tyrone Wheatley Jr. for a score in the first quarter.

Khalid Hill’s ninth touchdown and De’Veon Smith’s 4-yard run gave the Wolverines a 28-0 lead after their first four possessions.

After Michigan botched a fake punt near midfield in the fourth quarter with a 34-0 lead, George threw a 43-yard TD pass to Malik Turner on the next snap and followed with a 2-yard conversion pass to Zach Grant.

Karan Higdon scored on a 45-yard run on the ensuing possession and finished with 106 yards rushing on just eight carries for the Wolverines.

George got off to an awful start, but bounced back with some good throws.

He was 0 for 7 in the first half with an interception. George perfectly lofted a 43-yard pass to Turner in the third quarter and dropped another long pass to him just over safety Delano Hill early in the fourth for a TD.

in the third quarter. USF held the Lynx to 49 yards on their final three drives to seal the win.

Tim Smith led the Saints’ defensive performance, which held the Lynx to 234 yards and forced three turnovers. Smith collected eight tackles, two for loss and a sack. The sack was the 18th of his career, placing him one-half sack shy of the USF all-time record.

Calvin Brayboy (Bolingbrook) also had two tackles for loss and a pass breakup.

Butkus completed 19 of 35 passes for 130 yards.

Ruffin caught seven for 61 yards and two touchdowns.

Jordon Smith rushed for 65 yards on 15 carries.

Michigan running back De’Veon Smith leaps over Illinois defensive back Stanley Green for a touchdown during the first half Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich.

The Wolverines seemed to let up in the second half for the first time this season. They were up big, leading 31-0 at halftime, but didn’t continue to score at will as they did in other lopsided wins.

The Illini made big plays – a 45-yard run, a 43-yard pass and a fumble recovery – to have the ball at the Michigan 33 in the second quarter and to the Wolverines 32 and 30 in the third.

A holding penalty, fumble and incomplete pass on fourth down ruined their chances of taking advantage of the opportunities to score.

Michigan’s Kenny Allen made two field goals from 23 and 27 yards after missing his previous three attempts.

Up next: The Illini return home to host Minnesota and the Wolverines play at Michigan State.

Northwestern throttles Indiana, 24-14, for third straight win

EVANSTON, Ill. – Indiana and Northwestern have the look of two Big Ten teams passing in midseason.

Quarterback Clayton Thorson threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday, and the resurgent Wildcats bolted to an early lead then coasted past the Hoosiers, 24-14, for their third straight victory.

In a reversal of its 1-3 start to the season, Northwestern (4-3, 3-1) took a 24-3 lead and wasn’t seriously threatened the rest of the way.

“Without a doubt, (the difference) is the way we’ve prepared,” Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald said in a hoarse voice that confirmed his more vocal leadership of late. “We really had to change gears with the way we practiced and worked out, a spring-ball type mentality.”

Meanwhile, Indiana (3-4, 1-3) dropped its third consecutive game after three victories in the first four starts.

Clement carries Wisconsin to 17-9 win over Iowa

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Don’t count Wisconsin out of the Big Ten West race just yet.

Corey Clement ran for 134 yards and a touchdown and the 10th-ranked Badgers used a stout defense to beat Iowa, 17-9, on Saturday, snapping a two-game skid.

Alex Hornibrook had 197 yards passing for the Badgers (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten), who won for the fourth straight time in Iowa City.

Back-to-back losses to Ohio State and Michigan put Wisconsin in a hole in its own division. But the Badgers survived a late Iowa surge – and next week they get division favorite Nebraska at home.

No. 8 Huskers pull away from Purdue in 2nd half, win 27-14

LINCOLN, Neb. – Tommy Armstrong Jr. accounted for 303 yards of total offense and two touchdowns, and No. 8 Nebraska came back from a four-point halftime deficit to defeat Purdue, 27-14, on Saturday.

The Cornhuskers (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) probably didn’t convince the skeptics who say they aren’t worthy of a top-10 ranking, but they’ll head to No. 10 Wisconsin next week with their best record since 2001.

Purdue (3-4, 1-3) managed only 94 yards in the second half in interim coach Gerad Parker’s first game since taking over for the fired Darrell Hazell.

The Huskers lost, 55-45, at Purdue last year, and Memorial Stadium was in a stunned silence as the Boilermakers pulled out to a 14-10 lead on David Blough’s two touchdown passes to DeAngelo Yancey, the second one an 88-yard catch-and-run.

Minnesota hangs on to beat Rutgers, 34-32

MINNEAPOLIS – When Emmitt Carpenter missed a 34-yard field goal wide right in the second quarter on Saturday, Minnesota was already leading 21-10 and was having the expected success against Rutgers University’s porous defense.

While the Golden Gophers were driving at will on offense as big favorites at home, Carpenter knew he would be needed again.

In a bit of a surprise, Carpenter’s time would be with 10 seconds left.

Carpenter connected for a 28-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining and Minnesota survived for a 34-32 victory against the Scarlet Knights.

Blackhawks come back to top Leafs in shootout

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Jonathan Toews and Artemi Panarin scored in the shootout to give the Blackhawks a 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night after Chicago came back with two late goals to force overtime.

Artem Anisimov scored his second goal of the game on a rebound with 2:28 left to cut it to 4-3, then Richard Panik knocked in a loose puck in front of the goal 60 seconds later.

Anisimov connected as Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling was heading to the bench for an extra attacker. Darling was on the bench when Panik tied it.

Toronto rookie William Nylander scored twice for his first multi-goal game, with his second goal putting the Maple Leafs ahead 4-2 early in the third. But Toronto blew a lead in the final period for the third straight game and failed again to win at Chicago for the first time since February 2003.

James van Riemsdyk scored a tie-breaking goal late in the second period and Tyler Bozak also connected for Toronto. Rookie Auston Matthews, the NHL’s top 2016 draft pick, set up both of Nylander’s goals and had the lone Toronto goal in the shootout.

Rookie Tyler Motte also scored for Chicago. Motte connected for the second straight game after getting his first NHL goal in a 3-2 loss at Columbus on Friday.

Chicago’s Brian Campbell had three assists.

Toronto’s Frederik Andersen made 31 saves through overtime. Darling blocked 30 shots.

Chicago forward Marian Hossa returned to the lineup after missing Friday’s game. He scored his 500th NHL goal in a 7-4 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday, but left in the third period after blocking a shot.

Anisimov opened the scoring 3:36 in, completing a 2-on-1 break created when Artemi Panarin beat Nazem

Chicago Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews jumps over Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen during the second period Saturday in Chicago.

Kadri with a nifty move after entering the Toronto zone. Panarin drew several Leafs defenders to him, then dished to Anisimov who one-timed a shot from the right circle.

Bozak tied it 1-all with 14 seconds left in the first on a deflection from the slot despite being covered. Jake Gardiner’s low shot ticked off Bozak’s stick.

Nylander’s power-play goal at 9:28 second put Toronto ahead 2-1.

Motte tied it 2-all 1:40 later. Andersen stopped Motte’s initial deflection of Campbell’s shot, but Motte batted in the rebound.

Van Riemsdyk made it 3-2 with 1:44 left in the second when he swept in a loose rebound from the edge of the crease.

Nylander connected again 4:46 into the third period, firing into a half-open net from the slot after taking Matthews’ slick feed to make it 4-2.

Patti Edwards guides her students into making the world a better place Know more

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

Patti Edwards has also given back in the following ways by participating in: • Adult Snowball leader – Led by retired Joliet Central High School counselor Cathe Ghilain and Mark Peterson, coordinator of the JCHS student assistance program, students spend a drug-free weekend through a program called Operation Snowball..

• 21st Century Community Learning Center teacher – Under the leadership of Mary Balsie, we taught at-risk students after school.

This program no longer exists, Edwards said.

• Peace Pole committee Member – Edwards’ mentor and former boss, Sandy Alaimo initiated the committee to plant a Peace Pole at the entrance of our school that states, “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in 13 different languages that represent our past and present community.

• Miracle League coach – According to its website at miracleleagueofjoliet.com, the Miracle League of Joliet is a nonprofit baseball league for children and young adults with disabilities.

• Special Olympics bowling coach – For a league at Joliet Central High School

JOLIET – “I got lucky.”

That was Patti Edwards’ response as to why she’s devoted her career to working with special needs kids and guiding students of all abilities into brightening the lives of others.

Years ago, while teaching gymnastics at the Joliet Park District, Edwards said she was asked to teach a special recreation class. Her interest blossomed from there.

Edwards is the wife of Bob Edwards, senior director of circulation for Shaw Media, the parent company of The Herald–News.

The Illinois State Board of Education selected Edwards, a Joliet Central High School teacher, as a recipient for the 2016-2017 Those Who Excel education award, according to a news release from Joliet Township High School District 204.

Recipients, such as Edwards, have made significant contributions to the state’s public and nonpublic elementary and secondary schools, the release also said. Edwards received recognition at a banquet in October.

But for Edwards, the real reward is inspiring students to achieve their dreams and be kind people. Edwards wants her students to be among “those who excel.”

“It’s a passion of mine to help people be the most they can be, that they have a purpose and make an impact on others by the words they say and their actions,” Edwards said.

“Steelmen helping Steelmen”

She began teaching at JCHS in 1985; three years later Edwards started teaching adapted physical education.

Soon afterward, Edwards helped initiate the school’s peer trainer program.

This program is an outgrowth of two instances – a field trip to a local football game with a group of her special needs students, which prompted stares from onlookers, and a physical fitness program for disabled students the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign had begun.

“We took that program and went a step further,” Edwards said.

In the JCHS peer trainer “Steelmen helping Steelmen” program, students with normal abilities are paired with special needs students in a physical education class the students take togeth-

As a result, the students learn from each other – more than physical education. Building relationships with peers of varying abilities is good for everyone involved, Edwards said.

“It opens their minds,” Edwards said. “There’s a paradigm shift because of their experiences. It changes their perspective.”

Be kind

In addition, Edwards, along with Jennifer Christiansen, who teaches athletic performance training and P.E.

Leadership, brought the Rachel’s Challenge program to JCHS in 2009.

Rachel Scott was the first person killed in the 1999 Columbine tragedy.

Edwards said the Rachel’s Challenge program challenges youth in five ways. It asks them to eliminate prejudice, dare to dream, choose positive influences, use kind words and actions and start a chain reaction of kindness, Edwards said.

So Edwards, wishing to create that “chain reaction of kindness” co-founded the school’s Friends of Rachel Club with Christiansen. Edwards lets stu-

dents know that “kindness starts with you” and that “you, as one person, can make a difference.”

“What you do ripples through the school and community and through the country and onward,” Edwards said.

Although such benevolence may feel daunting – even for adults – Edwards poses just one question – How do you want to be remembered?

“Look at people,” Edwards said.

“Don’t judge them. Get to know them.

Treat people with kindness.”

If Edwards inspires the students, Christiansen inspires Edwards. In an email, Edwards called Christiansen “the most courageous, forgiving, kind and compassionate person” she’s ever met.

Christiansen’s husband, Dave Christiansen, a former coach and JCHS health teacher, was killed in a drunken driving accident, Edwards said. Since that time, Christiansen has spoken to bereavement groups and weekend retreats. Christiansen also hosts an annual weightlifting meet in memory of Dave Christiansen, Edwards added.

“She had a tragedy and chose to give service to others,” Edwards said. “I am a much better person because of her.”

Choose toothpaste with fluoride Dear Dr. K: I’m confused by the many types of toothpaste on pharmacy shelves. What should I look for in a toothpaste?

Dear Reader: To prevent cavities and tooth decay, you need to brush away plaque – that sticky, bacteria-laden material that builds up on teeth. It’s best to brush at least twice daily: once after you eat breakfast, and then again before you go to sleep.

When it comes to plaque removal, your toothbrush does most of the heavy lifting.

If you were forced to give up either the toothbrush or toothpaste, you’d give up the toothpaste. Fortunately, it’s easy to have both.

And toothpaste definitely helps, in several ways. It removes stains and leaves your mouth fresher. Commercial toothpastes are a concoction of abrasives, foaming agents, water and binders. Flavor, color and sweeteners are added. They also may contain agents to prevent cavities, combat gum disease, make teeth less sensitive or whiten teeth. Here are some ingredients you may see highlighted on labels: • Fluoride. Choose a toothpaste that contains fluoride, which helps prevent tooth decay.

• Triclosan. This ingredient helps fight the gum disease known as gingivitis. It also helps reduce plaque, inflammation and bleeding of the gums.

• Anti-sensitivity ingredients. Some toothpastes are designed to reduce sensitivity of teeth to heat and cold. It might take a few weeks of using an anti-sensitivity toothpaste before you notice any improvement. You can use anti-sensitivity toothpastes that also contain fluoride as your everyday toothpaste.

• Abrasives. When choosing a toothpaste, consider its level of abrasiveness. A little bit of roughness helps remove plaque and stains, but too much can strip away tooth enamel.

Using a toothpaste that’s too abrasive can

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff lead to permanent tooth damage, particularly around the gum line. If you don’t smoke and have few stains, a low-abrasive toothpaste is best for you. The American Dental Association (ADA) issues its Seal of Acceptance only for toothpastes that are mildly to moderately abrasive. So look for the ADA seal of approval on the tube.

• Whiteners. Toothpaste makers have bombarded the marketplace with products that claim to whiten teeth. All whitening toothpastes contain mild abrasives that help remove surface stains. Whitening toothpastes that display the ADA Seal of Acceptance also have chemical or polishing agents that boost their stain-removal power.

A patient asked me once, “I know you’re not supposed to swallow the toothpaste, but is there any danger if you do?” Swallowing small amounts of toothpaste, which occasionally happens with all of us, carries no risk.

However, some people apparently deliberately swallow larger amounts of toothpaste (don’t ask me why). That can cause problems. The fluoride and the triclosan, in large amounts, can cause abdominal symptoms and even more serious problems, including seizures.

Finally, don’t forget to floss regularly. No matter how thoroughly you brush your teeth, it’s impossible to reach the plaque and food debris that lodge under the gum line between your teeth. Your teeth and gums will thank you.

Lost dream of grandparenthood leaves hole in woman’s heart

Dear Abby: I have two wonderful children (28 and 30). Both are married and have great spouses.

Ever since I was a girl, I have dreamed of being a mother and a grandmother. My heartbreak is that neither of my children wants kids. Every time I hear that my sister or brother is becoming a grandparent again, my heart aches so bad I sit down and cry.

My husband says I need to accept it and move on. I have tried, but I’m so depressed right now I don’t know what to do. I’m thankful my children found their soulmates and are doing very well. I just don’t know how to get past this missing part of me. – Unhappy In Colorado Dear Unhappy: Have you considered researching volunteer opportunities to work with children or teens? While they wouldn’t be related to you, it would give you an opportunity to make a significant difference in a child’s life.

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips One organization that comes to mind is Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, which would give you the chance to be a mentor. Another program you might enjoy is Foster Grandparents, which is sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Or call the hospitals in your area and ask if they need someone to come in on a regular basis to hold and rock premature infants and newborns. If you contact CASA for Children (casaforchildren. org), you could become a court-appointed advocate for abused and neglected children and teens, which may provide the emotional satisfaction you need.

I hope my suggestions will help you.

NEIGHBOR

However, if they don’t, then you must accept plans we make for ourselves when we are young don’t always work out as we wish they would, and let them go.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been together for more than 30 years. It has been a very lonely marriage. I raised the kids alone while he worked and volunteered at the church and teen club.

I spent the first 10 years of our marriage nagging him to spend time with me and the kids, but he always was too busy “doing good.” I tried a couple of times to participate in his life by camping with him and the teens, but the girls gossiping until 1 a.m. and the boys stick sword fighting at 5 a.m. left me exhausted and irritable. Plus, it didn’t accomplish anything because he didn’t spend any time with me and the kids, anyway. I finally gave up nagging and just concentrated on raising our three kids.

Our kids are now grown, although

Volunteer.

one still lives at home and attends college. I feel stuck because I don’t have Biblical grounds for divorce. I’m only 50, so I’m looking at 30 more years of loneliness.

A couple of years ago, I found a really fun sport – scuba diving. I’ve made some great friends, but this isn’t something I’ll be able to do for the next 30 years. Do you have any suggestions? – Lonely In

The West Dear Lonely: Not knowing to which

religious denomination you belong, the best advice I can offer is to talk to your clergyperson about possible grounds for divorce within your religion. That you have been effectively emotionally deserted for decades by your husband might qualify. You have my sympathy.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Look for an opportunity, and don’t hesitate to seize it. This is a terrific year to expand your interests and build relationships with people who share your ideas and hopes for the future. Greater stability will result from a solid connection with someone special. Romance is highlighted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You need to improve your personal and professional lives. Think about your skills and focus on mastering them. Strive to think outside of the box. Own your destiny by preparing for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Be careful what you share and with whom. Emotions will escalate if

you end up in a compromising position. Stick close to home, and work on personal achievements.

Don’t fear being unique.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Step into the spotlight and share your views. It will bring about a debate that will help you move on to better things, leaving old problems behind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Take note of what everyone around you is doing, and choose not to follow the leader or get entangled in a situation that is full of melodrama. Opt to do something you enjoy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Travel or educational pursuits will pay off. Don’t wait for someone to tell you what you can or cannot do. Make up your mind and follow through with your plans. Show a

little backbone.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Do whatever needs to be done without trepidation. Relying on someone else to do things for you will result in disappointment. Don’t second-guess your decisions or doubt your abilities.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Helping others will put you in an interesting position. The people you encounter will offer information that will help you improve your life personally and financially.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Offering help will encourage favors in return. Your hands-on approach will be welcome, but don’t do all the work yourself.

Playing the role of a mentor or teacher will have great benefits.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Make plans with a

friend, loved one or relatives. Getting together with allies will give you an opportunity to sound out your ideas and receive constructive responses.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Stay in the background if you disagree with what someone is saying. It won’t be worth the effort to fight over something you cannot control. Focus on self-improvement, not on changing others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Emotions will surface. Be sure to channel this energy into passion and adventure and fun times with loved ones. A getaway will do you good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Ask for help before succumbing to someone trying to take advantage of you. Know when to say no and whom to call when in need.

A Home for Today’s Lifestyle Welcome to 21537 S. Mattox Lane, in Shorewood. Located on just over an acre of wooded seclusion, this 4400 square foot all brick home was custom built in 2002 for the current owners. Since initial construction, the home has been continually maintained & improved with back yard fencing around the in ground swimming pool, outdoor covered & heated designer patio and finished basement with home theater, wet bar, game room, bath & dual staircases to interior 1st floor and garage.

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

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

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

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

A PRAYER

SHOREWOOD

St. Jude's Novena May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us.

St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, helper of the helpless, pray for us.

Say this prayer nine times a day, on the eighth day your prayers will be answered. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised.

J. D. W. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The foolish man wonders at the unusual, but the wise man at the usual.”

Not at the bridge table! There, the wise man wonders about the usual and the unusual. It is true that most deals fit the usual pattern, but every now and then, one comes along that requires an unusual bid or play. That is when we separate the good players from the less imaginative.

How is that applicable to this deal? South is in three no-trump, and West leads the heart queen.

Today’s South hand, with its 17 points, good five-card suit, two aces and two kings, is too strong for a 1517 no-trump.

In three no-trump, South has seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs.

Obviously he plans to get the other two winners (at least) from his diamond suit. But suppose he makes the usual play here: He wins the first trick with dummy’s heart king and plays a diamond to his queen. West wins with the king and leads another heart. South takes that and cashes the diamond ace, being horrified to see West discard a club or spade.

Suddenly the contract is unmakable.

South could afford one diamond loser, but not two. He should take the first trick and make the unusual play of cashing the diamond ace.

Here, the king comes tumbling down, so South can continue diamonds to gain an overtrick. But if the king does not appear, declarer crosses to dummy and plays a diamond toward his hand. As long as West does not have king-fourth or -fifth, the contract is secure.
