Will County Health Department amends restaurant ordinance

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Board last week approved a minor amendment to the Will County Food Service and Retail Food Store Sanitation Ordinance.

The change comes as part of a transition by the state of Illinois to adopt codes from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Elizabeth Bilotta, of the Will County Health Department, informed the board on Thursday that the Illinois Department of Public Health in June repealed most of the code that the county uses in its enforcement.

The county uses the state’s code.

“They repealed basically the entire code except for sections for food managers, food handlers and farmers markets,” Bilotta said.

inspections.

The Will County State’s attorney’s office suggested making a bridge ordinance until the FDA code is fully adopted.

The amendment simply references, instead of the IDPH code, the IDPH code that was active “on June 28, 2016.”

Last week, the county board also unanimously voted to: Require all future county employees to work 1,000 hours a year in order to be enrolled in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. The previous requirement was 600 hours a year. It does not impact current employees.

Approve an intergovernmental agreement with the city of Joliet to host electronic recycling events. Joliet will be the fifth community to join the county’s revitalized program, following Lockport, Romeoville, New Lenox Township and Peotone.

Plainfield D-202 board members approve new financial advisers

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield District 202 board approved of new district financial advisers at Monday’s meeting.

PMA Securities was approved to replace Ehlers, a municipal financial advisory company that was the district’s previous adviser for multiple years, according to an Oct. 19 letter by Rick Engstrom, assistant superintendent of business and operations.

District officials solicited financial advisory service proposals in light of lead adviser Steve Larson, of Ehlers, retiring in December. Two proposals – one from Ehlers and the other from PMA Securities – were received.

“Both proposals met the [request for proposal] and each vendor were interviewed,” wrote Engstrom. “The main/focus [of] the discussion was on

WHERE IT’S AT

• Relevant information • Marketing Solutions • Community Advocates

As a result of the repeal, the county code appears to be without enforcement, Bilotta said. With the repeal, the state has adopted chapters one through seven of the FDA code.

“Unfortunately, we are not ready – along with all the other counties – to implement FDA food code chapters one through seven,” Bilotta said in the meeting. “The state is still in the transition of getting out the field guide and still working through training us on how to implement the FDA food code.”

The state told the county it has until July 2018 to actually get the FDA food code implemented in the county, which Bilotta said will not be an issue.

She said the village of Skokie took action and amended its food ordinance to adopt the code that was in place prior to the repeal, so they can enforce all of things typically enforced in restaurant

helping the district develop and implement a financial plan.”

Engstrom also wrote a letter on the preliminary estimated overall assessed property values for Will and Kendall counties in light of the upcoming tax levy.

He wrote the estimated overall assessed property values in both counties combined have a projected increase by about 8 percent. Both counties also have combined new construction increase by about 23 percent.

According to the 2016 levy calendar, a presentation of the tentative levy is scheduled for Nov. 16 at the business office. The tentative levy adoption is slated for Nov. 21 at a board meeting, and a public hearing will be held Dec. 19, the same day the board will consider adopting the levy.

According to a proposal from Paul Gonzalez, the district’s facilities director, more than 215 districts statewide are part of the cooperative purchasing agreement. His proposal stated it would save tax dollars by purchasing custodial and maintenance supplies at the lowest prices, among other benefits.

The board also approved the following donations: • $654 for a memorial bench at Bonnie McBeth Learning Center.

• $4,000 for Epson projectors at Freedom Elementary School classrooms.

A

nyone who’s been paying even a little bit of attention to the Cubs on their journey to the 2016 World Series knows that they have the longest championship drought in sports. The Cubs haven’t won the World Series since 1908, and they haven’t

even been there since 1945.

But that was then and this is now, and these Cubs enter the Fall Classic as the favorites over an upstart but banged-up Cleveland Indians team that won both the ALDS and ALCS as underdogs. – Shaw Media

Accomplishments to date

More coverage

The Cubs pretty much sprinted away from the competition from the start, finishing the regular season with the best record in baseball at 103-58.

They won the NL Central by an astounding 17½ games over the second-place St. Louis Cardinals before finishing off the San Francisco Giants, three games to one, in the NL Divisional Series, and the L.A. Dodgers, four games to two, in the NL Championship Series.

The Indians won the AL Central by eight games over the Detroit Tigers, finishing at 94-67. They swept the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS and made quick work of the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS, four games to one.

Home-field advantage

Despite the Cubs’ superior record, the Indians have home-field advantage in the World Series because of Major League Baseball’s rule awarding it to the team representing the league that wins the midseason All-Star Game. The AL won, 4-2.

Coincidentally, Indians ace Corey Kluber got the win in the All-Star Game.

For more about the Cubs vs. the Indians in the World Series, see today’s Sports section.

essary, is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Sunday at Wrigley. Games 6 and 7, if necessary, return to Cleveland with scheduled start times at 7:08 p.m. next Tuesday and Wednesday (Nov. 1 and 2).

Are tickets still available?

Needless to say, all of the games are sold out. And getting tickets on the secondary market is going to cost, well, a small fortune. According to CNN Money, the average ticket price for any of the four games in Cleveland is $3,900. That’s a bargain compared with Chicago, where the average ticket price is closer to $7,200.

Cubs players to watch

The Cubs are so loaded with talent, we don’t have the space to name all of the key contributers. We’ll start with last year’s NL Rookie of the Year, Kris Bryant, who is the favorite to win the NL MVP this year. Bryant batted .292 during the regular When/where to watch season and added 39 home runs and 102 This one is pretty simple. All of the RBIs.

TH E STA RTING PITCHE RS

JON LESTER Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester will bring a 2.50 career postseason ERA into Game 1 of the World Series. The former American Leaguer is 7-1 with a 3.03 ERA in 15 career starts against Cleveland.

Who are these Indians?

If you were solely focused on the Cubs’ run to the World Series and didn’t watch any of the American League playoffs, you probably don’t know much about Cleveland’s ballclub. The Indians’ starting rotation was considered its strength heading into the season. It largely was, until Nos. 2 and 3 starters Danny Salazar and Carlos Carrasco went down with late-season injuries and were left off playoff rosters.

Salazar is likely to return for the World Series, although it’s uncertain how much he’ll be able to contribute. No. 1 starter Corey Kluber was the AL’s 2014 Cy Young winner and has been dominant in the postseason.

As for the lineup, keep an eye on young shortstop Francisco Lindor. He finished second in last year’s AL Rookie of the Year voting and has drawn comparisons to a young Derek Jeter. One more thing you need to know about these Indians: Their bullpen has been lights out in the playoffs.

Andrew Miller won the ALCS MVP after striking out 14 of the 26 batters he faced.

COREY KLUBER Cleveland Indians pitcher Corey Kluber was an 18-game winner during the regular season. The right-hander is 2-1 with a 0.98 ERA in his first postseason.

And closer Cody Allen has given up zero runs and earned five saves in 7⅔ innings of work this postseason. The Cubs won’t want to be trailing too many games from the fifth inning on.

What’s up with the Indians’ mascot?

There no doubt will be protesters during the World Series calling for Cleveland to retire Chief Wahoo, the smiling, redfaced Indians mascot considered by many to be a racist caricature.

While Cleveland has been de-emphasizing Wahoo on uniforms and merchandise in recent years, its continued use is offensive to many Native Americans and others. The controversy also includes the “Indians” name. A group filed a lawsuit to try to prevent the Indians from using their team name or Chief Wahoo logo during the ALCS in Toronto but was unsuccessful.

FEARLESS PREDICTION

We asked Hub Arkush, editor of Pro Football Weekly and a die-hard Cubs fan, to make a series prediction for us.

“OK, people, it’s taken me almost 48 hours, but I finally believe it ... our Cubs are in the World Series. Now let’s take out all the emotion and look at

the facts. The Indians are a really good team and a great story. The Cubs are a great team and the story, of course, is ... the Cubs have a clear edge in starting pitching, defense and depth in the lineup. And even in the bullpen, where the Indians are special, the Cubs are right there with them. It’s the Cubs in six in a World Series for the ages.”

New Laraway School proposal on ballot Informational meeting

“The location on Laraway Road is unfortunately a disaster probably waiting to happen.”

The school district is hosting an informational meeting about the referendum at 6 p.m. Thursday at Laraway School, 275 W. Laraway Road, Joliet.

Joe Salmieri

Laraway School District 70C superintendent

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The future of Laraway School is on the Nov. 8 ballot.

Laraway School District 70C is asking voters to approve a referendum that would move Laraway School off Laraway Road, a once rural byway that has become a major truck thoroughfare for the industrial development on the south end of Joliet.

That industrial development also has created a huge tax base for the small school district, which has two schools, with Laraway being the larger one.

Laraway district officials said they can build the new school from the industrial taxes alone, without raising property taxes on homeowners. But they need voters’ approval to issue the bonds that would finance the $25 million project.

The district has been making plans to move the school for years and already owns land on Rowell Avenue, where a new building would be constructed. Laraway School itself is for sale, although it’s hard to sell while in use.

“This is nothing new,” school board

Shaw Media file photo

Students board buses May 6, 2015 at Laraway School in Joliet. The Laraway district school board is seeking approval via referendum to build a new school.

President Gary Knight said. “This is the opportunity. The thing we’re fortunate about, with all the business moving in, is the tax base.”

Laraway has $10 million in reserve funds, due largely to the industrial tax base, which is growing. The district now collects $1.8 million a year in cor-

porate personal property replacement taxes and expects that number to increase to more than $2.2 million a year as development continues.

The plan for paying off the school bonds is to use $5 million in reserves, along with about $1.5 million a year from the corporate personal property

replacement taxes.

The new school would be built on a 26-acre site, which is now a cornfield just south of the Sugar Creek neighborhood. If the referendum passes, construction would start in the spring with opening expected in fall 2018.

Truck traffic backups in front of the school have become commonplace. The situation is aggravated by a railroad crossing just west of the school, which stops traffic when trains go by.

“The biggest need is to improve the safety of our students and staff,” Laraway Superintendent Joe Salmieri said. “The location on Laraway Road is unfortunately a disaster probably waiting to happen.”

Laraway School needs improvements, including a new roof, windows and floors, Salmieri said. The heating and ventilation system needs to be upgraded. Window units are used for air conditioning.

Rather than fix up the old building, it makes financial sense to build new, Salmieri said.

The new school would consolidate Laraway and Oak Valley schools into one location. Oak Valley is used for kindergarten and first grade.

Silver Cross CEO Paul Pawlak to retire next year The HERALD–NEWS NEW LENOX – Paul Pawlak plans to retire in October 2017 as president and CEO of Silver Cross Hospital.

Pawlak has been the hospital’s chief executive for 26 years, which is longer than any of his predecessors.

At 67, he decided it was time to retire, Pawlak said in a phone interview Monday.

He also added that his retirement does not mean that Silver Cross Hospital has a merger in mind. Pawlak said news of his plans to retire kindled rumors that the hospital may be seeking to merge.

“It’s our strong intention to remain independent,” Pawlak said, noting that the hospital already has begun the

search process for his replacement.

Silver Cross board Chairman Douglas Hutchison Jr., in a statement released by the hospital, also asserted plans to remain independent under a new chief executive.

“We are performing our due diligence, inter- Paul Pawlak viewing candidates and working closely with a consultant to identify the best person to lead Silver Cross on its future course as an independent hospital,” Hutchison said.

Pawlak said he has been discussing the possibility of retirement with the board for months. According to a news release from Silver Cross, he announced his decision to the board last week.

“I’ll be 68 when I retire,” Pawlak said. “Basically, I want to go into my 70s feeling good. I like to travel. I have a big family. Now is the time.”

Pawlak said there are internal candidates for the job, but he will not take part in the hiring process. He does intend to stay on board when the new chief executive is hired to assist in the transition.

Pawlak, who arrived in 1990, led the hospital during a period of growth that included leaving its aging Joliet campus and opening of the new hospital in New Lenox in 2012.

The New Lenox campus was a $362 million project that includes three medical offices. All four buildings total more than 1 million square feet of space.

The hospital also has acquired adjacent land where it is building an ambulatory surgery center that will open next year. Pawlak said another unannounced project is in the works.

Pawlak said he is most happy with the culture built up at Silver Cross.

“I think our culture is unique and special,” he said. “Our customer service is good, and financially we’re doing well.”

Silver Cross had received a “100 Top Hospitals National Award” for seven consecutive years during Pawlak’s tenure, according to the news release.

The American Alliance of Healthcare Providers named it one of “America’s Friendliest Hospitals,” and The Leapfrog Group gave Silver Cross an “ ‘A’ Hospital Safety Score.”

Circuit clerk candidates want to reduce paper

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com A new circuit clerk will be chosen for the first time in 20 years on Nov. 8.

Republican Marlene Carlson and Democrat Andrea Chasteen will vie for the seat being vacated by four-time incumbent Pam McGuire. The clerk of the circuit court oversees about 130 employees who manage criminal, civil and traffic cases in Will County.

Carlson, an internet technology manager and Realtor from New Lenox, challenged McGuire four years ago.

Chasteen, a Frankfort resident who has worked in the clerk’s office for 21 years, has not run for office before.

Marlene Carlson

By 2018, state law will require all civil cases to be filed electronically and Carlson believes Will County is behind on the technology curve. An electronic pilot program started in 2003, but the inability to do everything other counties already can is the result of Marlene funding being spent on Carlson the wrong projects, Carlson said.

“As an IT professional and a Will County taxpayer, I find that unacceptable,” she said. “If [the clerk’s office was] developing software that couldn’t do what it was supposed to – that’s one thing, but if you bring in an outside vendor, you should fully research it can do what you need before you buy.”

Carlson said working in private industry and consulting for different companies and government entities has given her the background needed to handle both the electronic and labor components of the Circuit

Clerk’s Office.

“For an elected official, it’s not about policy making. It’s a management job and, in this day and age, it’s a technology job,” Carlson said. “Coming from the outside, I’m unbiased to the existing management structure. I can ask if something that’s always been done a certain way is the best way to do it.”

It’s Turkey Time!

I’m Baaaaack!

Andrea Chasteen

Chasteen agreed integrating technology is the biggest challenge, but said her experience in the clerk’s office has given her the best understanding how it will be used.

“We are integrating our computer programs to do a lot of the things that we’ve been doing manually,” Chasteen said.

One of her goals is to keep the technology Andrea “user friendly” for those Chasteen who have to navigate the legal system.

Another challenge is making sure everything is accessible when the clerk’s office is split between two floors – one for the public, one for attorneys – in the new courthouse scheduled to be built during the next term. Chasteen wants to reduce foot traffic by having anyone who wants to plead guilty to a traffic offense pay their fine and register for traffic school online.

She would also implement a program that will collect fines and court costs owed before tax refunds are issued.

“I’ve worked with so many different judges and attorneys and I bring a lot of knowledge of different areas of the office,” Chasteen said. “I’m familiar with our budgets and operations and the role that we play.”

Plainfield burglary suspect found dead in Chicago from self-inflicted gunshot wound

GET YOUR BOO BACK!

• Tuesday, October 25, 2016

A suspect in a Plainfield burglary was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Chicago last week.

Clint Engle, 40, of the 15300 block of South Meadow Lane, Plainfield, was discovered dead from a gunshot wound

by Chicago police in the 1000 block of West Madison Street.

Engle was a suspect in a residential burglary at the 23000 block of Ottawa Street.

At 9:43 a.m. Thursday, Plainfield police responded to a burglary in progress at the home. On the way there, they received a report that Engle allegedly removed a firearm from the home and fled the scene in a vehicle, according to a Plainfield police news release.

Officers investigated and identified Engle, a possible suspect, and potential locations to which he may have attempted to flee outside Plainfield.

Plainfield and Chicago police said they continue to investigate the case.

Engle had been serving a sentence at Taylorville Correctional Center and was on parole Oct. 23, 2014, according to the Illinois Department of Correc-

tions. His projected discharge date was Oct. 23, 2017.

In 2002, Engle was sentenced to 18 years in prison by a Will County judge after a jury found him guilty of home invasion and aggravated battery for beating his ex-girlfriend’s father with a golf club.

Engle was given a sentence of two years for a drug offense before the incident and then sentenced to 14 and two years for home invasion and aggravated battery. He was ordered to serve those sentences consecutively.

In January of that year, Engle broke into the home of John “Skip” Theres, 52, while he was sleeping, cut the telephone line and beat Theres in the head.

Engle was angry because he believed that Theres would not allow him to date his daughter. Engle reportedly told Theres, “You’re going to die for not letting me go out with your daughter.”

In another incident before the home invasion, Engle also was investigated for smashing the picture window at Theres’ daughter’s apartment in Crest Hill after seeing her with a new boyfriend.

He reportedly jumped through the window, wrestled with the boyfriend and then struck her twice.

LOCAL BRIEFS Fire damages Joliet home

JOLIET – Fire damaged a house early Monday in the 400 block of Maude Avenue in Joliet.

About 3:40 a.m., a resident smelled smoke while in bed, got out of the house and called 911, Joliet Fire Department Battalion Chief Mike Stromberg said.

“Crews found a fire in the attic that was extinguished in 15 minutes without incident,” Stromberg said.

A fire investigator was called to the scene, and damage was estimated at $15,000.

Wilmington police: Man fired gun at roommate

WILMINGTON – A Wilmington man was arrested Sunday night after allegedly firing a gun at his roommate and her boyfriend.

Wilmington Police Chief Phillip Arnold said officers were called to the 1100 block of North Joliet Street when “one of the resiMichael dents allegedly entered C. Raiford the bedroom of another resident, discharged a handgun toward the bed and then pointed the loaded handgun at the resident’s boyfriend.”

Officers Rhonda Thomas and Samantha Sullivan conducted the initial investigation and were able to determine what had occurred in the home. After getting involved in the investigation, Detective Karl Jurgens obtained a search warrant for the incident, Arnold said. The Will County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Group was called to assist with the execution of the warrant.

About 10 p.m., Michael C. Raiford, 44, was taken into custody in front of the residence.

“At the time of his arrest, Raiford was in possession of two fully loaded revolvers, one in each of his front pockets,” Arnold said.

Raiford was arrested on a charge of unauthorized possession of a firearm by a felon, and other charges are pending, Arnold said.

According to Will County court records, the woman who was living in the residence has sought an order of protection against Raiford.

Raiford’s probation was transferred to Will County’s jurisdiction from another state in June 2014. He has since pleaded guilty to driving on a suspended license in Channahon and Elwood.

Women play important role honoring local veterans

By KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media correspondent It’s not well known that women play an essential role in rendering honors during veteran honor services at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood. In fact, it’s not a requirement to be male or to be a veteran to volunteer time at the cemetery.

Clifford Lauderdale, member of Shorewood Glen Veterans group, has a mission to bring to light the services of these special women, and he did so at the October meeting of his group.

Lauderdale, who volunteers each Monday as a flag folder and presenter at the cemetery, organized a recognition ceremony for the women volunteers last week.

“The people I ask at Abraham Lincoln didn’t know we had ladies out there,” Lauderdale told a packed house during the veterans’ meeting. “The women are out there in the elements just like we are.”

Seven women volunteers attended the meeting to share what they do and give insight from behind the scenes.

“There are volunteer opportunities for women, for nonveterans and especially [veterans’] spouses,” said Cecilia Seabrook, flag folder and spokesperson for the women.

Cecilia Seabrook presents a flag to Mayor Richard Chapman.

Seabrook has volunteered at the cemetery in many capacities for over 11 years. Her father, brothers and husband were all veterans. She was on the receiving end of the American flag when her husband died two years ago.

“We have been the women accepting the flag, it’s the lowest, rock-bottom moment,” she said. “That flag and what it stands for is my most precious thing.

“We really make a difference in people’s lives. We are with people in their

most desolate moments. We have an extremely special job.”

Arlene Kenny is one of just a few women at the cemetery who fires a rifle during services. She had never touched a rifle before, but has learned to take apart, clean and reassemble her rifle.

Julie Kreuz has been playing the bugle since she was 10 years old. Many members of her family have served in the military, so after her children were grown, she began volunteering her tal-

ents and playing taps at the services.

“It’s hard when you see a family coming through, it just happened for them,” Kreuz said. “Their emotions are so raw, but you just have to do this for them.”

Even women who work in the offices and PIC (public information), the first people families encounter before a memorial service, find their work emotionally rewarding.

Sue Van Dyke is a PIC volunteer, helping people find gravesites of their loved ones, directing cars for services and make sure people get to the correct pavilion. Sometimes their job is just to listen.

“A man buried his son, killed in Afghanistan, two hours earlier. I sat and listened to him and cried with him,” Van Dyke said. “I like to think I helped him in some way.”

Prior to the afternoon recognition ceremony, several of the women had volunteered at 14 honor services that same day.

“What you do is special, I didn’t realize what went on behind the scenes,” Shorewood Mayor Richard Chapman said.

Chapman, a Vietnam veteran, was presented with a folded American flag.

Holding back tears, he added “Being a veteran and knowing a lot of vets, I understand.”

Retirement only a dream for some low-income workers

By MARIA INES ZAMUDIO The Associated Press

CHICAGO – It was a striking image.

A photo of an 89-year-old man hunched over, struggling to push his cart with frozen treats.

Fidencio Sanchez works long hours every day selling the treats because he couldn’t afford to retire. The photo and his story went viral and thousands of people donated more than $384,000 for his retirement.

His story is a window into a dark reality: Many low-wage workers say they can’t afford to retire.

With no money saved for retirement, home care worker Gwen Strowbridge, 71, of Deerfield, Florida, plans to stay on the job until she can’t physically work anymore.

“I can’t see it in the future. I’ll stop working if my health won’t allow me to keep working,” Strowbridge said. Now 71, she works six days per week caring for a 100-year-old woman in Florida.

Studies have found that about one-third of low-wage workers like Strawbridge say they’ll never be able to afford retirement. The problem is particularly acute among minority women.

Rain, temperatures mean good Illinois pumpkin crop

URBANA – University of Illinois pumpkin crop experts said this year’s harvest looks to be much better than last year, when yield losses were predicted.

Illinois plant pathologist Mohammad Babadoost said the pumpkin crop in Illinois had enough rain but not too much, and temperatures were warm and dry, “which pumpkins love.” Illinois is the country’s top pumpkin-producing state. About 90 percent of the pumpkins grown in the U.S. come from within a 90-mile radius of Peoria.

Unlike last year, Babadoost said, there will be “no shortage of pumpkin pie at the Thanksgiving table” this holiday season.

The one hiccup this year was in mid-August, when the fast-spreading fungus downy mildew appeared in some fields.

A grateful Fidencio Sanchez pushes his paletas cart one last time Sept. 21 before a group of reporters after accepting a check for $384,290 during a news conference outside the ice cream shop, Paleteria y Neveria Poncho, where he rented the cart in Chicago’s Little Village.

Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that one-quarter of workers 50 and older say they won’t retire. Among low-wage workers, earning less than $50,000 a year, it was 33 percent.

Strowbridge’s first job, in the 1960s,

paid 98 cents an hour, setting her out on a path of low-wage jobs that stretched across five decades. She raised three sons with her husband, Roy, a dock attendant who unloaded cargo from boats. The couple was forced to use the little money they had saved for retire-

But experts said it was confined to a small area in Tazewell County.

Naval Station Great Lakes spokesman John Sheppard said its sailors are excited to help with the task.

“It’s a pretty simple, little mission. It’s different,” Sheppard said. “Happy to do it.”

Vargas said the trucks are expected to make 24 trips between now and February.

Obama’s library materials to travel from D.C. to Illinois

HOFFMAN ESTATES – Some of the White House materials bound for President Barack Obama’s presidential library in Chicago will start making their way from Washington, D.C., to Illinois this week.

Beginning Wednesday, commercial trucks will carry documents, artifacts and gifts accumulated over Obama’s tenure to a temporary storage facility in Hoffman Estates, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Air Force Lt. Col. Vianesa Vargas, the Air Force logistician overseeing the move, said over two dozen troops in Washington, D.C., will take materials now stored at the National Archives and Records Administration and load them onto semitrailers for the 700-mile trip.

“We don’t get to look in any of the boxes,” Vargas said. “We move the boxes. We move the crates. We fulfill the mission.”

Vargas said about 40 sailors from Naval Station Great Lakes will unload the material in Hoffman Estates.

U of Illinois-Springfield has food pantry for students

SPRINGFIELD – A graduate student at the University of Illinois’ Springfield campus has started a food pantry for students.

Malayzja Anderson is helping to stock donated, nonperishable food items for the new UIS Cares initiative. She told The (Springfield) State Journal-Register that student meal plans start to deplete around this time of the semester so students may not eat as much. She said UIS Cares lets them “come in and just grab something to supplement them.”

The pantry will be open Nov. 17 and Dec. 1. Organizers said students also can email them to set up a time to pick up food.

ment on family medical issues.

Strowbridge stopped working briefly after she turned 63 to care for her husband, who had quadruple bypass heart surgery. Their Social Security benefits weren’t enough to cover medical expenses, rent, utilities and food.

When he died, she went back to work.

Jacquelyn B. James, co-director of Boston College’s Center on Aging and Work, said it is common for low-wage workers to stay on the job, with no plans for retirement.

“It is really easy for them to say, ‘I’m going to work forever,’ but things happen,” James said. Among those things: health issues.

A 2016 report by the nonpartisan research nonprofit National Institute on Retirement Security shows that many black, Latina and Asian women have to work past retirement age to be able to afford basic expenses. Women were 80 percent more likely than men to be impoverished.

The research showed that for men between 70 and 74, about 19 percent of their income comes from wages. For women, it’s about 15 percent.

“You couldn’t put nothing in the bank because I was always underpaid,” Strowbridge said. “I just didn’t make enough to save.”

Those who want to donate can find drop-off locations around the UIS campus.

Needed items include canned vegetables, cereal, snacks and sauces.

Driver surrenders after fleeing crash that killed 3

MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee police said a motorist who fled after causing a car crash that killed three women from Chicago and injured their Uber driver has surrendered to authorities.

Investigators said the 23-year-old man driving a Lexus SUV ran a stoplight in downtown Milwaukee early Sunday and slammed into a car whose 41-year-old driver was giving the women an Uber ride.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as 32-year-old Amy Taylor, 30-year-old Ashley Sawatzke and 35-year-old Lindsey Cohen. The Uber driver was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

Police said a male passenger was in the SUV, but they provided no information about him.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with local farmers Monday at Bedners Farm Fresh Market in Boynton Beach, Fla.

Trump rejects ‘phony’ media polls, insists ‘we are winning

By STEVE PEOPLES and JONATHAN LEMIRE The Associated Press

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – A defiant Donald Trump blamed his campaign struggles on “phony polls” from the “disgusting” media on Monday, fighting to energize his most loyal supporters as his path to the presidency shrinks.

With just 14 days until the election, the Republican nominee campaigned in battleground Florida as his team conceded publicly as well as privately that crucial Pennsylvania may be slipping away to Democrat Hillary Clinton. That would leave him only a razor-thin pathway to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House on Nov. 8.

Despite continued difficulties with women and minorities, Trump refuses to soften his message in the campaign’s final days to broaden his coalition. Yet he offered an optimistic front in the midst of a three-day tour through Florida as thousands began voting there in person.

“I believe we’re actually winning,” Trump declared during a round-table discussion with farmers gathered next to a local pumpkin patch.

A day after suggesting the First Amendment to the Constitution may give journalists too much freedom, he insisted that the media are promoting biased polls to discourage his supporters from voting.

“The media isn’t just against me. They’re against all of you,” Trump told cheering supporters later in St. Augustine. “They’re against what we represent.”

In more bad news for Trump, a new poll shows young voters turning to Clinton now that the race has settled down to two main candi-

dates. Clinton now leads among likely voters 18 to 30 years in age by 60 percent to 19 percent, according to a new GenForward survey.

Young black voters already were solidly in her corner, and now young whites are moving her way, according to the survey by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

With Trump on the defensive, Democrat Clinton worked to slam the door on his candidacy in swing state New Hampshire while eyeing a possible Democratic majority in the Senate.

The former secretary of state campaigned alongside New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan, who is running for the Senate, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who was merciless as she seized on recent revelations of Trump’s predatory sexual language and several allegations of sexual assault.

“He thinks that because he has a mouth full of Tic Tacs, he can force himself on any woman within groping distance,” Warren charged.

“I’ve got news for you Donald: Women have had it with guys like you.”

Trump has denied all of the recent allegations, and he addressed a new one Monday in an interview with WGIR radio in New Hampshire.

He called the accusations “total fiction” and lashed out at former adult film performer Jessica Drake, who said Saturday that he had grabbed and kissed her without permission and offered her money to visit his hotel room a decade ago.

“One said, ‘He grabbed me on the arm.’ And she’s a porn star,” Trump said. He added, “Oh, I’m sure she’s never been grabbed before.”

Clinton teams up with Massachusetts senator

By JULIE PACE and KEN THOMAS The Associated Press

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Joining forces in the presidential campaign’s final stretch, Hillary Clinton and Sen. Elizabeth Warren pounded Donald Trump on Monday for disrespecting women and denigrating U.S. troops assisting Iraqis in their push to retake the city of Mosul.

“He’s basically declaring defeat before the battle has even started,” Clinton said, referring to Trump’s tweet on Sunday calling the new fight against the Islamic State group “a total disaster.” Clinton said her Republican rival is “proving to the world what it means to have an unqualified commander in chief.”

Warren, riffing off Trump’s insult to Clinton in the final debate, warned the businessman that “nasty women are tough, nasty women are smart and nasty women vote.”

The back-to-back assault on Trump underscored what has drawn Clinton to Warren, with whom she has little previous relationship. The Massachusetts senator has needled Trump with gusto throughout the campaign, often provoking a prickly response from the Republican. She’s also become a fierce defender of Clinton, validating the former secretary of state’s progressive credentials with those skeptical of Clinton’s long ties to Wall Street.

But if Clinton wins, Warren is expected to turn from cheerleader into watchdog – a towering presence in the Senate trying to hold Clinton to campaign promises on issues such as student debt and Wall Street reform, while also guarding against nominees with deep ties to the

financial industry.

Perhaps seeking to reassure Warren that she’ll hold her ground in office, Clinton praised the Massachusetts senator’s work on curbing Wall Street excess and said she looked forward to “working with her to rewrite the rules of our economy.”

Warren laid down her own marker, making sure to brand Clinton’s policy blueprint as a “progressive agenda.”

Clinton and Warren made their joint appearance on a sun-splashed fall day in New Hampshire, a battleground state with one of the most competitive Senate races in the country. Underscoring Democrats’ increasing confidence in the presidential race just over two weeks from Election Day, both women devoted significant portions of their remarks to bolstering the party’s down-ballot candidates.

If Clinton wins the election and Democrats also carry the Senate, she would have more leeway in getting through nominees for top jobs. Liberals with ties to Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders – who challenged Clinton for the Democratic nomination – have already started outlining specific people they’re hoping end up in senior posts at the White House and agencies.

That includes Labor Secretary Tom Perez, a top liberal pick to run the Justice Department, where he previously oversaw the civil rights division; Gary Gensler, the Clinton campaign’s chief financial officer who won praise as a tough regulator at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; former senators Byron Dorgan and Ted Kaufman; and economists Joseph Stiglitz, Christina Romer and Heather Boushey.

QAYARA, Iraq – Bayda Muhammad Khalaf followed the government’s advice to stay in her home with her husband and seven children as Iraqi troops advanced near their remote village outside militant-held Mosul. But after the Islamic State fighters fled and Iraqi troops didn’t appear, their tiny supply of food quickly ran out, and the family had to flee to search for territory firmly under government control.

When the Mosul offensive began a week ago, departing IS fighters warned villagers to stay off the roads and surrounding fields, which the militants had mined. So Khalaf waited until she saw a passing shepherd, and then she and her family made the eight-hour walk out of no man’s land behind a herd of sheep.

“We were starving,” she said. They had watched the start of the offensive on TV and thought Iraqi forces were on the way, but the troops’ progress has been slow, and Mosul’s southern approach is littered with dozens of villages, some with no more than 20 homes.

Eventually, Khalaf couldn’t produce enough breast milk for her infant daughter. “I started giving her goat’s milk, but then the goat died,” she said.

Mosul, the largest city controlled by the Islamic State group, is still home to more than 1 million civilians. The government and international aid groups fear that a sudden mass exodus will overwhelm the few camps set up on its outskirts.

The massive offensive is expected to take weeks, if not months, and with supply routes cut off by the fighting,

many civilians may not be able to stay in place for long. Driven by fear or hunger, many are already putting themselves in grave danger and are complicating the campaign to expel the militants from the city, which fell to IS in 2014.

More than 5,600 people have already fled areas near Mosul, according to the International Organization for Migration, with most heading through IS-run territory toward the Syrian border, rather than in the direction of the advancing troops, who are converging from the north, east and south.

Camps have been set up to accommodate 60,000 people, but about 200,000 are expected to be displaced in the first weeks of the offensive, according to the Norwegian Refugee Council.

Both the Iraqi government and Kurdish authorities are mired in an economic crisis brought on by low oil prices and say they do not have the resources to care for such a large number of displaced people. So they have urged everyone to stay put.

“We have a comprehensive plan for the evacuation of the civilians,” said Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Maliki, the head of the Iraqi army’s 9th Division. “The plan is to keep them in their houses until it becomes safer.”

That means huddling indoors, often with no electricity or running water, as explosions and gunfire echo outside.

Those living near the front lines are often out of reach of aid groups.

Those who somehow manage to cross the battle lines, like Khalaf’s family, face other challenges.

The Kurds have taken in hundreds of thousands of people, but Sunni Arabs, who make up most of Mosul’s population, are viewed with suspicion.

But the different types of guaranteed minimum income benefits, flexible guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits, fixed income options, different riders, enhanced death benefit, fixed account balances, withdrawal limitations, future earnings accumulation, etc., are confusing to them and to me.

They also visited a stockbroker at a small firm we’d never heard of. That broker told them to buy Southern Co., the iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF and Energy Transfer Partners. They don’t have a computer and asked me to write you for your opinion on the annuity and the three stocks. – GH for SS, Moline, Ill.

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Dear GH for SS: I doubt that the bank’s broker mentioned the 9 percent commission on that annuity that’s paid from their $16,000 investment. I also doubt the bank’s broker told them about the 3.75 percent annual cost charged by the annuity for mortality costs, account management and other expenses. Accuracy requires facts, but honesty requires full disclosure. That there’s a highway to [heck] but only a stairway to heaven says a lot about the traffic numbers of annuity salesmen at brokerages and branch banks.

The small firm you’d never heard of (Stifel) has been around for 120 years and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and its recommendations are usually spot on. Southern Co. (SO-$50.95) is a $16.8 billion-revenue electric utility. SO’s board has increased the dividend every year since 2002, and today’s $2.24 dividend, which may be raised to $2.32 next year, yields 4.7 percent.

SO’s recent $7.9 billion acquisi-

tion of AGL Resources, a Fortune 500 natural gas utility, should enable SO to sweetly improve earnings and enhance its steady dividend growth.

Some analysts believe that beginning next year, SO should be able to grow its dividend between 4.5 and 5 percent annually. Good choice, that!

Energy Transfer Partners (ETP$39.78) gathers, processes, stores and transports natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil. This stock may be too dicey, but I agree with Stifel’s ETP recommendation, as well as those on Wall Street who insist there’s impressive potential here. ETP also wholesales and retails gasoline and owns 47,000 miles of pipeline.

This $24 billion-revenue master limited partnership, also a recent Goldman Sachs recommendation, has a $4.22 dividend that yields 10.9 percent. Goldman owns 26 million shares. Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors owns 31 million, and Morgan Stanley owns 15 million. They believe that next year, ETP will generate $27 billion in revenue and increase its dividend to $4.40. And Value Line believes that in the coming three to four years, ETP could trade in the $70s.

ETP has long legs and is an egregious

speculation of which I approve.

Though they’re vulnerable to rising rates, preferred stocks and their relevant exchange-traded funds have become a popular destination for income investors. The iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (PFF-$40.15) tracks the results of the Standard & Poor’s U.S. Preferred Stock Index, which measures the performance of preferred stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq. PFF invests 90 percent of its $15.7 billion of assets in various components of the index and up to 10 percent of its assets in futures, options and swap contracts.

The one-year total return is 5.59 percent. The three-year is 5.78 percent, and the five-year is 6.05 percent. PFF has been a steady Eddie for the past five years.

It’s difficult for folks with limited funds to get good advice. Give that broker a gold star, and buy him a 5-gallon tub of Harley-Davidson ice cream.

A merged AT&T-Time Warner may not do consumers much good

By TALI ARBEL

The Associated Press NEW YORK – AT&T and Time Warner are playing up how their $85.4 billion merger will lead to innovative new experiences for customers. But analysts, public-interest groups and some politicians are far from convinced.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said it should be killed.

Tim Kaine, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, said less concentration in media “is generally helpful.”

And the Republican chairman and Democratic ranking member of the Senate’s antitrust subcommittee said that the deal would “potentially raise significant antitrust issues.”

The potential harm to consumers from this deal could be subtle – far more so than if AT&T were simply acquiring a direct competitor like a big wireless or home broadband company. Time Warner makes TV shows and movies; AT&T gets that video to customers’ computers, phones and TVs. But the concern is that anything AT&T might do to make its broadband service stand out by tying it to Time Warner’s pro-

grams and films could hurt consumers overall.

WALLING OFF TIME WARNER

The company certainly wants to do that. “With great content we believe you can build a truly differentiated service,” AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said. “In particular, mobile.”

Here’s how that would work. Because of Time Warner’s world-famous shows and movies – “Game of Thrones,” the “Harry Potter” films, professional basketball – and AT&T’s ability to gather information about its tens of millions of customers, AT&T thinks it could do a better job tailoring ads and video to user preferences. It could then create more attractive subscription packages suited for phones, where people are increasingly watching video.

But many consumers already consider ads that know everything about them creepy or invasive, and digital-rights groups complain that any preferential deal AT&T could offer with, say, HBO would hurt competition.

Say AT&T reserved HBO for its customers only. That would cut HBO’s reach and hurt its value.

AP file photo

This May 14, 2014 file photo shows an AT&T logo on a store in Dedham, Mass. On Saturday, several reports citing unnamed sources said the giant phone company is in advanced talks to buy Time Warner.

“This creates massive strategic tensions that are almost impossible to resolve,” Jackdaw Research’s Jan Dawson wrote in a note. AT&T can either disadvantage Time Warner by restricting who can watch its stuff or limit benefits for its own customers so much that they barely rate attention, he suggested.

FREE DATA FOR TIME WARNER

There’s another way AT&T could favor its own media offerings. The company currently lets many of its wireless customers stream from the DirecTV

app on their phones without counting it against their data caps, a practice known as “zero rating.” AT&T has suggested it may also zero-rate its upcoming live-streaming DirecTV Now service, which doesn’t require customers to install a dish on their homes.

If AT&T did that with, say, HBO shows and TNT’s basketball games, it could upset other video providers, who could reasonably worry that customers might shun their streaming services to avoid exceeding their monthly data limit and possibly suffering slower data speeds as a result.

The companies also say that relying more on targeted ads could help lower the cost of making appealing shows and films. Even if that’s the case, the savings might not get passed on to consumers.

Rich Greenfield, a BTIG analyst, noted there’s no evidence that Comcast’s 2011 acquisition of NBC led to lower prices. In fact, prices have been increasing broadly, although Greenfield said there’s no way to know whether the deal contributed to that trend.

“There may not be dramatic harm, but it’s certainly hard to find clear benefit,” Greenfield said.

WORLD SERIES: GAME 1: CUBS AT INDIANS, 7 P.M. TONIGHT, FOX

‘THE CUBS WIN THE PENNANT’ Coomer felt the NLCS-ending double play was imminent

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com Lockport graduate Ron Coomer and partner Pat Hughes have been the Cubs’ radio voices all season and throughout the National League playoffs.

Coomer had a feeling what might be coming.

“Going into the ninth inning, we got the first Ron Coomer out, then there was a base hit,” Coomer recalled last Saturday night’s 5-0 NL Championship Se-

ries clincher against the Dodgers. “I started thinking, ‘If we get a ground ball, one swing and it’s over with.’ ” On cue, Yasiel Puig bounced a ground ball to shortstop Addison Russell, who started a 6-4-3 double play.

Hughes call: “The Cubs are going to the World Series! The Cubs win the pennant!”

A long pause followed as pandemonium reigned inside and outside Wrigley Field. Hughes had said it all, and Coomer knew his place.

“I just told myself, ‘Whatever you do, don’t step on Pat’s call,’ ” he said.

He didn’t. Coomer and Hughes have

developed into a smooth tandem, mimicking the ballclub whose games they broadcast every day.

“That was such a great moment for Pat, for me, for the city and everyone who has been a Cubs’ fan all their lives,” Coomer said. “At that moment, I was a fan, a player, a broadcaster and a little kid all at one time. It was the first time ever for that kind of experience.”

And yet, as Coomer repeated multiple times during the conversation: “Four more wins.”

THE MADDON TOUCH

This Cubs team, under manager

Joe Maddon, does not plan to stop now.

It has all the ingredients to beat the Cleveland Indians and claim the franchise’s first World Series championship since 1908.

“There is a certain looseness and ability to rise up and play at a high level with these guys,” said Coomer, who played nine major-league seasons, one with the Cubs, and is in his third season in the team’s radio booth.

“They’re a bunch of guys throughout the lineup, in the starting rotation and in the bullpen who really want the

Before he became an usher, Schram spent 33 years as a high school math teacher and basketball coach. He started at Lemont High School before moving to Peotone High School for the bulk of his career.

It is not uncommon for a former student to recognize Schram as he or she walks through the concourse. Once, a woman turned to him quizzically and asked, “Mr. Schram?” Turns out, he was her teacher in 1971.

So much has changed since then, but not Schram’s love for the Cubs.

“I was a Cub fan from the time I can remember,” said Schram, whose twin brothers were 7 years older. “My dad was a Cub fan. My brothers were Cub fans. It was just part of the family.”

Schram’s dad has passed away. So has his mom, who died last month at age 100. Both brothers are gone, too.

A World Series win would be for them as much as it would be for him.

Schram still gets chills when he arrives at the park. It’s the same stadium where, as a teenager, he scored a ticket to the 1962 All-Star Game.

chance to be the guy that the team leans on, and that includes the manager and his staff.”

Coomer’s is a dream job in more ways than one. Not only does he broadcast Cubs’ games, he and television play-by-play man Len Kasper meet with Maddon every day, about two hours before the game.

“Joe is very gracious to everyone, including us,” he said. “Lenny and I are in his office for maybe 20 minutes before we get around to taping the pregame show with him.

“There’s a trust factor. There are things that can’t be for broadcast or print that he will talk over with us. He has the ability to communicate with everybody. It’s special for me to have that chance to talk with him.

“Of course, it’s not all baseball, either. We’ll walk in, and he’ll start by talking about the Springsteen concert in 1984, or about the music he is playing that day.”

If Maddon is the No. 1 manager in baseball, as many suggest, then Cleveland’s Terry Francona may be 1A. If the World Series comes down to managerial strategy, Coomer said nobody has the edge.

“Terry Francona was my manager when I played in Double-A at Birmingham,” Coomer said. “Joe and Terry are very similar. Both are great people,

Neither will outdo the other in terms of strategy.”

Which, after all, is the way you want it. Leave it to the players to decide the outcome of the World Series.

“Both teams have gamer-type players,” Coomer said. “Both have good pitching staffs with good pens.”

SCHWARBER ACTIVE?

One of those gamer types who may be on the Cubs’ active roster is Kyle Schwarber, who has been out since tearing his ACL in the first week of the season. The official announcement on whether Schwarber will be active will be made Tuesday morning.

“If I had to guess, I would guess yes,” Coomer said of Schwarber being active.

the third-base line to watch batting practice. Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees ripped a foul ball into the seats.

“I’d like to say I caught it,” Schram said. “But, really, I chased it down.”

Cool moment, right? Keepsake of a lifetime.

Except Schram dreamed bigger. He decided to mail the ball to the Cubs and ask to have it autographed.

“My parents and everybody else said, no, don’t do that, you’re never going to see that ball again,” Schram said. “But I had all the confidence in the world. So I sent it in.”

A few weeks later, the ball returned in the mail – signed by all of the Cubs.

Schram carries the same unflinching confidence that the Cubs will win the World Series this year.

How could you doubt the man? After all, he works in heaven.

“I have a feeling that if we win the World Series, there will be a lot of people that retire from this job,” Schram said. “Not me. I’m going to stay here as long as I can.”

“But the one thing is, I haven’t seen him run yet.

“Some guys are going through rehab and they’re just hitting. Some guys are hitting with a purpose, which Kyle has been. He’s been trying to make the roster. He is one of those kids with a football-player mentality playing baseball.”

For the Cubs’ home opener, after Schwarber was injured, he walked to home plate with the help of crutches to turn in the lineup – to a roaring ovation. That’s Maddon, in spades.

“Those are the types of things Joe understands,” Coomer said. “He knows the right buttons to push.”

The Cubs were shut out in back-toback games in the NLCS. Coomer said that was not necessarily a bad thing.

“You’re going to have a series of games where you don’t hit,” he said. “I always believed some good will come from having some struggles. After those shutouts, I saw the tension in Anthony [Rizzo] and Addison Russell, but when you’re a great player, you fix it in a hurry, and they did.”

Now, even against a strong Indians’ pitching staff, the Cubs may be ready to hit their way to a world championship.

Not that there won’t be butterflies.

“I always get butterflies before every game; I loved that feeling even as a player, and I love it as a broadcaster,” Coomer said. “To be part of this, even in a small way, is so special to me.”

Then he repeated, “Four more wins.”

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: REGIONAL PREVIEW

Parity in the post season makes it tough to predict who will prevail AREA RANKINGS

By KAITLYN JASNICA

kjasnica@shawmedia.com

1. Minooka (29-6) 2. Lincoln-Way East (27-8) 3. Plainfield Central (22-12) 4. Joliet Catholic (19-15-1) 5. Providence (21-14)

This girls volleyball season has been an interesting one for the area.

Interesting in the sense that area teams are so well balanced with talent that anyone has a shot for the ‘W.’ That makes for an even better postseason and a difficult one to predict.

I’m still going to give it a go. Here is what I think will happen this season in the Class 4A regionals.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

T.F. South Regional

No one will stand in Minooka’s way.

The Indians (29-6) were touted going into this season as the best in the area, and they have lived up to that recognition. Alli Papesh is the top outside in the area, and Rocky Perinar, Taylor Baranski, Brooklyn Bachmann and Holly Bonde would be top players on many other teams.

They will face Romeoville in the semifinals. Minooka has beaten Romeoville twice, but the Indians cannot count out Lyric Miles and Payton Koranda, who have had strong seasons.

Lincoln-Way West might be Minooka’s biggest competition in the regional, however, and the two most likely will meet in the regional final.

Kirsten Leitshuh has had a breakout year as a freshman and Cassie Ruettiger and Kerrigan Fritz have also had strong seasons, but they would have to execute their game plan perfectly to compete with Minooka’s hard hitters.

Prediction: M i n o o k a w i n s a l l matches in two, including Lincoln-Way West in the finals.

Plainfield Central Regional

If any regional will be the most exciting, it is this one.

That’s because Plainfield Central and Joliet Catholic should meet in the finals.

It is the first year the Angels (1915-1) have played in Class 4A, but they are still the most successful team on this stage and that should never be ignored. The girls know how to win.

Sarah Nahas is back setting, and JCA has two strong outside hitters – Taylor Zurliene and Emily Holbrook – who can put the ball away. They also boast a defense that can prevent just that from happening on their end.

Plainfield Central (22-12), on the other hand, has Ashley Shook and Taylor Landfair. Rarely can a team boast the most talented senior and the best freshman in the state.

Shaw Media file photo

Minooka’s Taylor Baranski returns a serve against Plainfield South during the Indians’ two-set victory last week. The Indians enter postseason play as the favorites in the Class 4A T.F. South Regional.

For the second time this season, Plainfield Central’s Ashley Shook garnered Herald-News Volleyball Player of the Week honors.

In a 2-1 victory over Oswego, the senior setter tallied 15 kills and a .714 hitting percentage, while running a 5-1 offense. She added 24 assists, two blocks and two aces.

Against Romeoville, Shook had five kills, a .714 hitting percentage, 15 assists, four blocks and six digs.

dez and Koerner leading in aces.

The Porters (22-12) also are boasting a strong year and have seemed to turn their program’s slump around.

The team was red-hot until losing team leader JoDee Kovanda for the season. Now, Lockport will have to play the same game as West: serve tough. Fortunately for them, Bella Cosentino and Shae O’Nell follow close behind the two Tigers in serving statistics.

If both teams serve well, it’ll become a battle of who has the best ball Oak Forest Regional In this regional, Lincoln-Way control and who wants it more.

Prediction: Joliet West will win in East (27-8) will see Joliet Central first. Even though the Steelwomen a close three games. are scrappy and know how to play to their strengths, East will overpower Lemont Regional Sadly, both Lemont and Bolingthem.

To beat the tough JCA squad, however, Central’s back row will have to play well and Landfair will need to put the ball away. It’ll be a test to see how clutch the duo can be when it’s on the line.

Prediction: Plainfield Central will beat JCA in three in the finals.

BOYS SOCCER: MINOOKA

Minooka seniors hope to keep good season going

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – When the four seniors on this year’s Minooka boys soccer team were freshmen in 2013, their team advanced to the sectional finals, where they fell to Edwardsville, which went on to capture the Class 3A state championship.

As Grant Ooms, Noah St. Paul, Kyle Sparks and Austin Wielgosz close out their careers with the program, the Indians are back in the sectional for the first time since then and actually meet squads that are even more accomplished than the ones they faced in 2013.

But after winning 10 of their last 11 matches to improve to 16-4 on the year, coach Chris Brolley’s Indians are feeling pretty good about where they are after beating Normal West, 4-0, in last Friday’s Moline Regional finals.

Minooka meets up with Peoria Notre Dame (12-7-2) at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the 3A Notre Dame Sectional. In the other semifinal at 6:30 p.m. at Belleville West, Collinsville faces Quincy. The winners play at 7 p.m. Friday in the sectional final in Peoria. The Indians not only look to once again play for the title, but also hope to win their first sectional since 2007.

“At the start of the season, we were a little rough, but as it went on, our chemistry built and we started playing as a team,” goalkeeper Ooms said.

“We’re the only four seniors so we had to help build a younger team and as the season went on, they matured greatly.

We weren’t as physical as we are now.

Now that we’re progressing, it’s exciting to play.

“We’ve all really bought into this program. Our coach’s big thing is to work hard every day, get better and have fun, and that’s what we’re out here doing. We’re all so close and have really good personalities. We can joke around with each other without getting on anyone’s nerves, so we can be honest with each other. We’re ready to play anyone in the state.”

Considering the programs’ histories, Minooka enters as the underdog.

The event’s other three teams have won 21 state trophies and played in 14 titles matches between them. But thanks to their close bond, the Indians like their chances against the perennial powers.

“We’ve been playing together since we were 5 or 6,” center back St. Paul said. “Kyle and I were at the start of the Three Rivers Soccer Club and probably 75 percent of this team has played together for a very long time so our

chemistry has been built up over the years. So once we all got to the varsity level, it just clicked right away.

“At the beginning of the season, we were a little shaky on defense by going for 50-50 balls. But after the first few games, we were going hard at each other in practice and put it in games and started going hard at other teams, and that’s when things started to go well. I like our personalities. We’re serious on the field but once we’re off it, we’re all fun-loving kids.”

With Sparks and freshman Patrick Koenig leading the way in goals, the Indians feature an attack that will be useful against top-notch competition.

That certainly applies for Notre Dame, which has won 198 matches, six trophies and three titles during the last 10 years.

“With us only having four seniors, I’m sure many teams didn’t think that we would be able to do anything,” forward Sparks said. “But we’ve been able to build from that and the younger kids have helped us out. I’ve been playing with a lot of these kids since I was young so I know what everyone is capable of. We can trust anyone and we’re not afraid of any team.

“Playing on varsity in my freshman year, there’s nothing new playing against good players and teams. We

made it to the sectional finals that year and now that it’s my senior year, I hope that I can lead us farther than that. I like how everyone’s personality is different and we all get along. This is it for the seniors, so we’ll go into every game playing as hard as we can.”

One of the team’s biggest strengths during its recent hot streak is its defensive play. The Indians yielded only nine goals in their last 11 matches, which will be important against an Irish team that has scored 20 goals during its six-match winning streak.

“We’ve had a great season,” center back Wielgosz said. “There’s a lot of young kids on the team and it’s been fun for the seniors to teach them how the varsity level is since we’ve been playing for so long. Our mentality has been good, which has helped us since we can joke around but when it comes game time, we get into game mode and do what we do best.

“We have a good group of guys who have been playing for a while since they’re able to connect. And the four seniors have been playing together for quite some time so we’ve been able to help make the program better. I like everyone’s mentality of the game. All of us have worked hard to get farther so we’re looking forward to playing in the sectional.”

One-fourth of U.S. cancer deaths linked with 1 thing: smoking

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Cigarettes contribute to more than 1 in 4 cancer deaths in the U.S. The rate is highest among men in Southern states where smoking is more common and the rules against it are not as strict.

The American Cancer Society study found the highest rate among men in Arkansas, where 40 percent of cancer deaths were linked to cigarette smoking. Kentucky had the highest rate among women – 29 percent.

The lowest rates were in Utah, where 22 percent of cancer deaths in men and 11 percent in women were linked with smoking.

“The human costs of cigarette smoking are high in all states, regardless of ranking,” the authors said.

They analyzed 2014 health surveys and government data on smoking rates and deaths from about a dozen smoking-linked cancers. Lung, throat,

stomach, liver, colon, pancreas and kidney cancers were among those included, along with leukemia. The researchers estimated how many cancer deaths were likely attributable to smoking, and compared that with deaths from all cancers.

Results were published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

While U.S. smoking rates have been falling, 40 million U.S. adults are cigarette smokers and smoking is the top cause of preventable deaths, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

NUMBERS

The study found that at least 167,000 cancer deaths in 2014 – about 29 percent of all U.S. cancer deaths – were attributable to smoking. A government estimate based on different methods says 1 in 3 U.S. cancer deaths are linked with smoking, and the study authors acknowledge they may have underestimated the true burden posed

by cigarettes.

Most of the 10 states with the highest rates of smoking-attributable cancer deaths were in the South, while most of the 10 states with the lowest rates were in the North or West.

Among men, where smoking is generally more common, the cigarette-linked cancer death rate was highest in blacks at 35 percent, compared with 30 percent for whites and 27 percent for Hispanics. Among women, whites had the highest cigarette-linked cancer death rate – 21 percent, compared with 19 percent for blacks and 12 percent for Hispanics.

EXPLANATIONS

The researchers say nine of 14 states with the least comprehensive smoke-free indoor air policies are in the South. The average cigarette excise tax in major tobacco states, mostly in the South, is 49 cents, compared with $1.80 elsewhere. The tobacco industry heavily influences these poli-

cies and most of the U.S. tobacco crop is grown in the South, the researchers said. The region also has relatively high levels of poverty, which is also linked with smoking.

REACTION

Dr. Hilary Tindle of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, said the results reflect what she sees as a tobacco researcher and internal medicine specialist in the South. She was not involved in the study.

Smoking is more of a social norm there, and while her medical center has an indoor smoking ban, she said it’s not unusual to walk through cloud of cigarette smoke outside the entrance.

Tindle said the study results highlight the need for stronger tobacco control measures and show why doctors should discuss smoking at every patient visit, encourage smokers to quit and inform them about effective ways to do so.

Bertino-Tarrant participates in Walk to End Alzheimer’s

State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, recently participated in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Will County.

Bertino-Tarrant joined hundreds of people at the event to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease.

This year, Bertino-Tarrant co-sponsored a new law that creates minimum training standards for all residential and community-based programs that offer dementia care. The law was necessary because previously places could advertise they were experts in dementia care without having the training to back up their claims.

Morris Hospital redesignated as Level II perinatal care provider

MORRIS – Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers has been redesignated as a Level II perinatal care provider by the Illinois Department of Public Health.

The designation means Morris Hospital has the necessary qualifications to care for women who have the potential or likelihood for complicated or high-risk deliveries, as well as newborns who may require specialized services.

This includes premature infants born as early as 32 weeks’ gestation, in addition to full-term newborns with breathing difficulties, jaundice or other medical conditions that require an intermediate level of care.

As a Level II perinatal care provider,

Morris Hospital is required to have a perinatal affiliation agreement with a statedesignated Level III regional perinatal center. Morris Hospital’s agreement is with Loyola University Medical Center, whose experts provide continuing education, support, consultation and evaluation.

Representatives from Morris Hospital and Loyola University Medical Center participated in the survey, along with Dr. Douglas Toussaint, chairman of the department of obstetrics/gynecology at Morris Hospital, Dr. Dana Howd, chairman of the department of pediatrics, and Dr. Rita Hart, medical director of the nursery.

Morris Hospital first received Level II perinatal designation in 2003.

The registered nurses who staff the Family Birthing Suites and Intermediate Care Nursery at Morris Hospital are certified in neonatal resuscitation procedures and stabilization of high-risk premature infants, in addition to having specialized training in electronic fetal monitoring.

There are six obstetrician/gynecologists and eight pediatricians on the Morris Hospital medical staff.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff different for him. I caught his prostate cancer at an early and curable stage.

There’s no magic about the cutoff point for calling a test result abnormal. Just as in the man with prostate cancer, a result in the normal range still can be a sign of disease. And results that are outside the normal range (“abnormal”) don’t mean a person has a disease.

With some tests there is danger if the result is abnormally high or abnormally low. With other tests, it’s worrisome only if the abnormality is in one direction.

So, here’s my general advice for dealing with laboratory test results. If the results are near abnormal or definitely abnormal, and your doctor says not to worry: • Suppose the result has changed significantly from when it was tested previously. If so, ask if that change means it should be tested again sooner than usual.

• Suppose the result is well into the abnormal range (not just over the line), but has not changed significantly. (For example, if a liver test has a normal range of 30-50, and your result remains 80, that is more worrisome than if your result remains 52.) If your result is way outside the normal range, ask if there are any diseases the result could indicate, and any other tests for those diseases that should be ordered.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Dear Dr. K: Last week, I received the results of some recent blood work. A few of my values fell just outside the normal range. My doctor says it’s fine, but I’m still worried. Do I need to be?

Dear Reader: A printout of lab results typically indicates normal ranges for each blood test next to your personal results. If your personal result is right in the middle of the normal range, likely you’ll feel relief.

But what if your result is at the very low or high end of normal, or even slightly outside the normal range? Should you worry? Unfortunately, there’s no straightforward answer. Here’s why.

With most blood tests, different laboratories would all come to pretty much the same result. However, with some tests there is more variation in the results from one lab to the next.

Another source of variation is you.

The levels of many molecules in our blood change, sometimes from hour to hour.

Blood sugar levels, for example, vary depending on what and when we ate. Other results are affected by how hydrated you are. Other results change with age.

The genes you inherited can affect results and may cause your results on particular tests to be outside the normal range every time tests are done. The question is not whether the result is “abnormal,” but whether it is becoming even more “abnormal.”

Results that change significantly over time are important even when a lab result is normal. For example, I had a patient whose PSA test for prostate cancer was in the low normal range every year for 20 years. Then, one year it was in the high normal range – still normal, but quite

the groom traditionally bear the cost of the rehearsal dinner. Because you and your son’s mother are divorced, she should pay for half – unless there is such a disparity in your incomes it would cause her financial stress.

If your ex needs “credit,” then by all means discuss it with her. This is a time to put aside old grievances and celebrate, if only for the sake of your son.

sure about what to do, you should have written down the woman’s license number, if possible, and alerted the store manager so the matter could be handled according to store policy.

However, if no policy is in place, you could have contacted Childhelp.org for guidance. It offers prevention, intervention and treatment programs and has helped more than 10 million children at risk or in trouble. Childhelp.org has a national toll-free hotline: 800-422-4453.

Dear Abby: What is the protocol for divorced parents paying for the rehearsal dinner for their son who is getting married? My ex-wife expects me to pay for a significantly bigger portion of the expenses, yet at the time of our divorce she insisted on splitting the assets 50/50.

My opinion is because we are equal in the parenting, we should divide the expenses 50/50. I’m willing to concede to her some credit if she does a significant amount of work and planning (over and above my own), but this should be negotiated ahead of time. We are both employed and have good incomes. We are both remarried and our spouses work. What’s your take on this, Abby? – Right Down The

S C O O T

I’m a 20-year-old college student and have had a job at the same retail store for two years. A few weeks ago, a mother walked in holding a baby that appeared to be about 6 months old. The first thing I noticed was he had numerous bruises. There were pronounced bruises under both eyes, another large one on his temple and several more visible on his arms and legs.

I have heard horror stories about parents whose infants have a medical condition that causes them to bruise easily, but the parents are accused of child abuse. This mother seemed attentive to her baby, and I saw nothing in her behavior to make me think her child was in any danger. I didn’t say anything, but I keep wondering if I should have called the police or informed my manager.

I’ve been telling myself there might have been an innocent explanation for the child’s injuries, but I don’t know if I screwed up. I didn’t want to meddle, and now I’m worried the baby might be suffering because I didn’t speak up.

Any advice on what I should have done/should do in the future would be appreciated. – Second

John Buchan, a Scottish politician and author who wrote “The Thirty-Nine Steps,” said, “The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.”

The same can be said about bridge. Whenever you make a bid or play, you hope it will prove best.

More often than not, it is right to stick to the tried-and-true actions, but occasionally doing something unusual will work like a charm.

In this deal, look only at the West hand. What would you lead against three no-trump, given that you know from the Stayman auction that dummy will have four spades and declarer holds four hearts?

If South had denied a four-card major, North would have rebid three clubs, which would have shown game-forcing values, a four-card major and longer clubs. Perhaps five clubs would have made and three no-trump failed due to a fatal heart weakness.

In a social game, sitting West was Susan Ludwig of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Normally, one would have expected her to lead the diamond four. Here, that would have made the defense difficult. East would surely have won with his ace and returned a diamond. Then, though, declarer would have established the club suit and cruised home. To defeat the contract, East would have had to win the first trick and shift to hearts, a very tough play to find.

Ludwig led the heart jack, which worked perfectly. The defenders easily took three hearts, one diamond and one club.
