There is a scene in the 1994 movie “The Paper” where two of the main characters get into a physical fight as Michael Keaton tries to stop the presses on a story.

You’ve seen it play out on countless other TV shows too, and this week a caller asked why I didn’t do that when the Cubs reached the World Series late last Saturday to put the Cubs’ win on the cover of The Herald-News.

There are plenty of reasons, and one of them is that the press isn’t in most newspaper buildings anymore. Papers print collectively at regional centers with multiple papers with multiple deadlines before heading to regional distribution centers and then to the newsstand or your house.

I’m also not sure the staff here is comfortable enough with me yet to start a physical altercation in the office.

But none of that really matters.

Reporter Mike Mallory and photo editor Eric Ginnard did a great job on an important local story last Sunday, on overcrowding in local emergency rooms, and we felt it deserved to get top billing for our readers.

What’s in question is if the Cubs

making the World Series should have been the front page of The Herald-News and what other days leading up to and during the World Series that it should have been.

The answer isn’t simple, because up until the last hour before the paper prints, we rarely know what the Cubs’ result will be. And our primary focus is being the best news outlet in this area, covering the local news like no one else.

But we also understand that the Cubs are essential to our readers. So we have to balance that.

Beyond that, the front page of a newspaper is a keepsake when something like a World Series title or National League Championship Series is decided. And, if we’re talking about a Cubs team that hadn’t made a World Series in 71 years or won one since 1908, you can multiply that.

This week, we’ve made the decision to put the Cubs on the front of our paper

most days. Our staff has done a great job bringing you stories of local fans, Lockport grad and radio announcer Ron Coomer, Cubs Catholic chaplain Rev. Burke Masters and former Lockport/Peotone teacher and coach Keith Schram, who works for the Cubs.

In all of that, we’ve kept a keen eye on keeping it local. That’s our priority, and we think that’s what you want.

When the Cubs have won, it’s been on the cover of our paper. And we plan to continue that through the end of the series.

But the only way to really know whether that’s what you want is to ask.

So that’s what I’m doing.

Did you want to see the Cubs on the front of the paper every day, or was our local focus just right?

Thank you ahead of time for your responses.

And remember, keep the calls, emails and messages coming. I’m enjoying meeting the community and can’t wait to meet more of you.

Joliet Cubs fans name newborn Addison Clark

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet family made the Chicago Cubs fan commitment of a lifetime by naming their newborn daughter Addison Clark – after the two streets where Wrigley Field is located.

Addison Clark Corlew was born Thursday at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, according to a news release from the hospital.

She is the daughter of Andria and Carl Corlew and the sister of Makena.

Carl, a lifelong Cubs fan, said Friday that his wife initially agreed to the name Grace, but he was able to persuade her to make the name Addison Clark.

He said the Cubs making it to the World Series is such a special moment (his parents cried when it happened), and he wanted to be able to tell his daughter someday why she was named and how incredible the time was.

“Everybody is coming together. It’s a good tone, it’s a good mood,” Carl said.

He said he’s been incredibly fortunate and lucky that his family had another daughter.

“My wife [Andria] is just an incredible rock star when it comes to being a mother,” he said.

Students in Will County participate in service learning projects

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Several Lincoln-Way East High School students gathered in a cafeteria earlier this month to get students registered to vote.

Lucas Michaels, a junior, was one of those students who sat at a table with iPads and either helped students learn how to register for voting or guided them through online registration.

Michaels said getting students to apply for voting is easier this way because they’re meeting and learning from students.

“It makes them more comfortable to come to us,” he said.

The voter registration drive at Lincoln-Way East is an example of how educators in Will County are adapting to a new state law – known previously as House Bill 4025 – that requires high school students to complete a semester-long civics course.

Other high schools in Plainfield and Joliet are either revising their curriculum or making use of grant money they received for emphasizing civics education.

The state law was based on a recommendation of the Illinois Task Force on Civic Education, established by the Illinois Legislature, that found the state was one of 10 that did not have a civic education graduation requirement, according to Illinois Civic Mission Coalition, which advocates for civic learning in schools.

Michelle Graham, East social science department chairwoman, said Lincoln-Way School District 210 already was ahead of the curve with civics education, but there was a service-learning part of the new learning requirements that educators at the district wanted to highlight.

That was the students’ voter registration drive, which Graham said was to make the students aware of voting, especially since the most underrepresented voters are those between ages 18 and 24.

She said students at District 210 go on to college and need to learn how to apply for an absentee ballot or how to re-register for voting if their address changes.

“We try to get that message out to students, too. So when they get to their college campus and they see voter reg-

At Joliet Township High School District 204, students must earn credits in social science – which includes world affairs – U.S. history and government, Alberto Filipponi, the district’s curriculum director, wrote in an email response to The Herald-News. He said that the district’s government curriculum addresses all parts of the state law.

“We are currently working on revising some of our simulations such as mock elections, mock congress, mock trials and other activities,” Filipponi wrote. “In addition, we require a service learning project that includes 5 to 10 hours of community service tied to curricular objectives.”

He wrote that a service learning project can count toward the 40 community service hours that students need to graduate.

Plainfield District 202 received additional funding to address civics education thanks to the Robert R. McCormick Foundation. North received this

stipend as a result of being named a Democracy School by the foundation.

Plainfield North High School received a stipend of up to $3,000 from the foundation that will go toward student activities and clubs related to civics, educating teachers on civic ed-

ucation and developing civic learning resources across the curriculum.

Tom Hernandez, District 202 spokesman, wrote in an email that district officials were in the process of rewriting the social studies curriculum and assessments to include more civic activities.

Graham said that while District 210 made civics courses a graduation requirement years ago, there are other schools that did not have civics courses in place. She said the state law adds credibility to the importance of learning about democracy and how to participate in it.

She said the students get to apply the skills they gain in other classes, such as English, in civics courses.

“They’re reflecting on what it means to vote. How do political parties influence the outcome of an election? How does money influence the outcome of elections?” Graham said. “That’s stuff they read about and write about in our course where they’re applying skills they learned in other classes.”

Joliet town hall covers police jobs, minorities Pastor Lonnie Posley Sr. of the New Canaan Land Christian Church in Joliet asks Police Chief Brian Benton a question during the Joliet town hall meeting Wednesday at the Joliet Public Library downtown branch.

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton urged residents to apply for police jobs before a Wednesday deadline.

Benton was one of several speakers last week at a Joliet town hall meeting organized by Second Chance Expungement and the Black Bar Association of Will County.

The meeting also served as a forum for candidates running to represent Will County Board districts in Joliet.

Benton and Mayor Bob O’Dekirk spoke on a variety of topics, and both urged people to apply for jobs available in the city, while Will County Board Democratic Caucus Chairman Herbert Brooks Jr. said not enough minorities are being hired on county projects.

“Our goal is to have a diverse workforce – one that mirrors the community,” Benton said.

He said it is difficult to recruit young African-Americans for police work, in part because of the tensions that have developed between law enforcement and the African-American community on a national level.

Benton was responding to a question about minority recruitment for police jobs. He said a police recruitment team has been going to local churches and community organizations in Joliet to put out the word about a new police eligibility list being developed. Recruiters also have gone to community colleges in Chicago seeking African-American candidates, he said.

“We can’t make you fill out an appli-

cation, but I’m appealing to you tonight,” Benton said, as he asked the audience to spread the word about the police eligibility list.

Applications must be completed online by 4 p.m. Wednesday. Applications and more information about the Joliet Police Department can be found at www. jolietpolice.org.

Brooks, responding to a question on minority hiring on county contracts, said, “there is not a lot of minority hiring going on.”

“I’m not so proud of some of the contracts that have gone on in Will County,” Brooks said. “African-Americans, Latinos and women have not gotten their fair share of the work.”

About 40 people attended the meeting Wednesday at the Joliet Public Library downtown branch.

O’Dekirk discussed the job market in a presentation about the city.

“Some of the big employers in Joliet, like Harrah’s, have had difficulty filling jobs. I’ve heard the same thing from Am-

azon,” the mayor said.

Many of the jobs being created are at distribution centers on the south end of the city, O’Dekirk said. Those jobs have developed a bad reputation for lacking good wages and benefits, he said, but that is changing.

O’Dekirk said Amazon starts pay at $15 an hour while offering health insurance and retirement benefits. He urged people in the audience to advise anyone needing work to apply at Amazon and other distribution companies.

PLAINFIELD, MONEE, UNIVERSITY PARK

Summer workplace deaths lead to employer citations

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently cited two Will County employers after workplace fatalities occurred over the summer.

Coilplus Inc. in Plainfield was the location of the death of Carlos Rivera, 50, in June, while Advanced Mobility in Monee was where Leo Micheletto, 58, was fatally injured in July.

Rivera, of Joliet, was pulled into a machine at the steel processing plant.

Micheletto, of Frankfort, was crushed by a trailer.

After Rivera’s death on June 23 and a subsequent inspection, OSHA issued six safety and health violations to Coil-

plus, according to an OSHA news release dated Thursday.

The federal agency stated that Coilplus failed to post danger signs, install adequate guardrails around a scrap pit, install machine guarding to prevent entry to hazardous areas, install handrails on stairways, conduct periodic inspections and affix lockout devices to isolate energy.

Rivera died after the pneumatic line of a platform he was standing on was disconnected by a piece of scrap metal, causing the platform to change position and Rivera to fall into a scrap pit and be pulled into the machine, the news release stated.

OSHA has proposed penalties of $53,628 for Coilplus, which is headquar-

tered in Rosemont.

In a separate news release also dated Thursday, OSHA stated Advanced Mobility’s Monee location received one safety violation after the agency’s inspection following Micheletto’s death on July 5.

Failure to use stationary jacks or hydraulic leg stands with safety pins allowed the trailer to fall on Micheletto on his first day working for the specialty vehicle and trailer manufacturer, the news release stated.

The Monee investigation prompted another inspection in response to a complaint of unsafe conditions at Advanced Mobility’s University Park facility.

That investigation led to the issu-

ance of six safety violations, including allowing workers to be exposed to lead, failing to implement controls to prevent lead exposure, not training workers about various hazards and lacking a program to isolate energy, according to the news release.

OSHA has proposed $58,792 in penalties for the Monee-based company.

Both Coilplus and Advanced Mobility have 15 business days from receipt of the citations and penalties to comply, request a conference with OSHA’s area director or contest the findings before an independent commission.

Representatives of Coilplus and Advanced Mobility did not immediately respond to messages left Saturday seeking comment.

Shorewood man aims to bring home abducted daughter

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Michael Sanchez is going to Brazil, and he hopes to return with his 11-year-old daughter, Emily Machado.

Sanchez, of Shorewood, alleges the child’s mother took her to Brazil on Easter Sunday in 2008 without his permission. They never came back.

He has since made three trips to Brazil, but he has only seen his daughter two of those times. Before they left the States, Sanchez battled his daughter’s mother in Illinois courts and arranged a visitation agreement.

Sanchez said he felt out of options until a few months ago, when he started a GoFundMe.com account to both raise money for a trip to Brazil to get his daughter back and to continue raising awareness of international child abduction.

On Monday, he reached the fundraising goal for the trip. He said someone contacted him through Facebook, and they shared stories of dealing with child abduction.

A short time later, Sanchez said, he was notified of a $500 donation to the GoFundMe account, which covered about a third of the trip’s cost. He said the donation, listed as anonymous on the account, came from the same person he was sharing stories with.

Photo provided Sanchez said he will fly Nov. 7 to Brazil and plans Shorewood resident Michael Sanchez is seen with his daughter, to return in May 2017. He will stay with friends who Emily, who he says was taken to Brazil in 2008 by her mother and live 20 miles or so from his daughter, who lives with never returned. He is going to Brazil on Nov. 7 in hopes of bringing her mother and grandparents.

Machado, her mother and grandparents know her back to Illinois.

Sanchez is coming. He said his daughter and her grandparents have paperwork to return to America, but her mother does not. Sanchez said the mother has long used her fear of getting deported as the reason for taking Machado to Brazil with her without Sanchez’ knowledge or permission.

Sanchez was granted sole custody of Machado years ago by a Cook County court, but it doesn’t mean anything because his daughter isn’t in the country.

His plan is to spend as much time with his daughter as possible and take things slow the first few weeks.

“My ideal scenario is to come back with Emily, and bring them all back,” Sanchez said, adding that he still would work with his daughter’s mother to get her citizenship situation cleared up.

Sanchez is cautiously optimistic about the trip.

He expects to spend more time with his daughter than ever before, but he is not sure how his attempt to bring her back to Illinois will go.

“It can go either way,” Sanchez said, noting the family appears fine with him visiting. “They’re unpredictable. They abducted my child, so that doesn’t get out my head. They could lie, or they could actually want to work with me and get everybody home.”

Before he leaves for the trip, Sanchez said he’s making sure he has all proper documentation printed out. He said the office of U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, still is working with the U.S. Department of State on his case, but it’s becoming clear he’ll have to go through Brazil’s court system to get his daughter back.

2 face off in 49th Senate District

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, faces a challenge from Republican Michelle Smith, president of the Plainfield School District 202 Board.

The campaign for state Senate in the 49th District has been fought at mailboxes through numerous mailings trying to link Bertino-Tarrant with House Leader Michael Madigan. In turn, Democrats have tried to associate Smith with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Smith’s campaign staff did not make her available for an interview for this story, but she did respond to a candidate’s questionnaire submitted

by The Herald-News. Bertino-Tarrant responded to the questionnaire and was interviewed by The Herald-News.

The 49th District runs from Shorewood on the south through sections of Joliet and Crest Hill. It takes in most of Plainfield along with sections of Romeoville, Bolingbrook and Oswego on the north.

Bertino-Tarrant

Bertino-Tarrant said her top priority is shifting school funding to the state.

“We have to focus on how the state can be more involved in education funding, so it is less reliant on property taxes,” she said.

Bertino-Tarrant said she has “pragmatic experience” in education, having been a regional superintendent of schools for Will County as well as a school principal and teacher. She also is a member of the Senate education committee and serves on the Governor’s Education Funding Reform Commission.

She is finishing her first term as state senator.

Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant said Bertinoshe can work with both Tarrant parties and does support certain elements of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s “Turnaround Agenda,” including reforms on how district maps are drawn. But she opposes limits on bargaining rights for public employees and elimination of prevailing wage rules.

She counts among legislative achievements her sponsorship of legislation to provide veterans with access to small-business loans, unpaid leave for parents who lose a child, and a bill to expedite the interchange at Inter-

state 55 and Weber Road.

Michelle Smith

Smith, in questionnaire responses, said too many business owners are leaving Illinois, and the state needs to change policies.

In her statements, she said the state could “foster economic growth by eliminating job-crushing regulations, stifling administrative burdens and unreasonably high workers’ compensation costs.”

Smith said the state could save money with Michelle procurement reform Smith and reducing waste and abuse in the Medicaid system.

She favors Rauner’s proposals to reform workers’ compensation, impose legislative term limits, reform district mapping and freeze local property taxes.

Both candidates

Smith and Bertino-Tarrant both point to backgrounds in small business and experience in education as influences on how they would legislate.

They both say they are against tax increases and support bipartisan pension reform.

JJC Morris campus holds ribbon-cutting

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Joliet Junior College celebrated the opening of the JJC Morris Education Center on Wednesday.

The new location opened for classes this year, and it serves about 300 students a year from the western portion of the college’s district. Now, college officials hope to double that number over the next three years.

“We’ve had promising numbers this fall semester and are looking forward to continuing that success,” Judy Mitchell, JJC president, said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The Morris Education Center occupies about 5,000 square feet of the former Shabbona Middle School, and it includes a resource area for job seekers, three classrooms, two computer labs, space for Grundy Workforce Services, and other tutoring and testing space.

Lasting Relief from Lower Back Pain

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

• RIBBON-CUTTING Continued from page 8

She said that in addition to location, the affordability is a major factor to accessing higher education. The average full-time student at JJC pays $3,750 for a semester, which is much lower than the average $13,200 at a public four-year university or $30,000 at a private four-year university.

Spring 2017 class registration will start Monday, and there are 16 classes scheduled to be held at the new location.

“I’m very proud to have this opportunity open to residents,” Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said. “It’s a great addition to the county, and it’s in the perfect location.”

He said he hopes students from the entire county are able to use the building to take classes closer to home.

Mitchell said the intention is to serve all students at the Morris location with both traditional and nontraditional high school dual credit, workforce services and more.

She said the location next to the Morris Community High School and Grundy Area Vocational Center is a prime location for continued education.

“Our close proximity to the Morris High School and to GAVC is also a significant benefit, and our partnership with their teams serves something greater – access to higher education, careers and student success for all,” Mitchell said.

Joliet Park District Zumba instructor Ashely Peterson teaches a Zumba class Saturday at the inaugural Women & Girls Health Expo at Joliet Central High School.

Debra Upshaw, National Hook-Up of Black Women president, said the expo was open to girls and women ages 7 to 90, and it offered breakfast, lunch, exercise classes and four group sessions split into five separate age groups.

“We wanted the girls and women to learn in a class setting that was their own age in hopes they would open up and talk to each other. If we just hand them a pamphlet, it will go in the garbage, but if they hear a speaker, our hope was that the message will resonate with them,” Upshaw said.

The class topics included financial

health, social media, mental health, self-care, healthy eating, wellness, cancer and aging gracefully.

“With women’s cancer, stroke and heart attack rates rising, we wanted to engage in conversation and encourage women to take care of themselves. We also wanted girls to learn about their bodies, dating and empower them to know themselves before they commit to relationships,” Upshaw said.

Reyes said the collaboration was completely supported by community donations, and the groups hope to make this an annual event.

JJC seeks Hispanic-serving institution status

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College officials are seeking the school to be designated a Hispanic-serving institution because of its growing number of Hispanic students.

Yolanda Isaacs, JJC student development vice president, gave a presentation to the Board of Trustees last Tuesday that was a “call to action” to seek an HSI designation through the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities and to consider eventually receiving a designation from the U.S. Department of Education.

“Our landscape continues to change, but as an institution, we need to be very proactive in supporting this population,” Isaacs said.

An HSI is an accredited and degree-granting public or private nonprofit higher education institution with 25 percent or more total undergraduate

Park district referendum seeks funds for rec center

Hispanic-equivalent enrollment, according to Isaacs’ presentation.

Isaacs’ presentation followed a report on fall student enrollment that showed the percentage of Hispanic students at JJC has grown to 26.6 percent.

“That is a significant milestone for us at [JJC], and we’re extremely excited,” Isaacs said.

The HSI designation would be significant because it would support the college’s vision, mission and strategic priorities; reaffirm its commitment to diverse students; increase institutional awareness, knowledge and appreciation of diversity and inclusion; and offer grant opportunities, according to Isaacs’ presentation.

She said she wanted to encourage JJC officials to explore the opportunity to apply for an HSI designation from HACU. JJC wouldn’t be eligible for the HSI designation from the Department of Education – a Title V program – because

the college is fulfilling the initiatives of its Title III grant, which would be complete in 2020, Isaacs said.

JJC officials have put together a Hispanic-serving initiative design team and plan to increase emphasis on HSI initiatives in its strategic enrollment management plan.

Members of the HSI design team include Isaacs, Multicultural Student Affairs Office Director Michelle Roman-Garcia, JJC spokeswoman Kelly Rohder, Institutional Research and Effectiveness Director Joseph Offermann, Enrollment Management Dean Trevell Eddins and Grants Development Director Yvette Johnson.

Isaacs noted JJC already does community outreach initiatives to Hispanic students through the Latino Empowerment Conference, high school visits and community partnerships, hosting financial aid workshops in English and Spanish while providing bilingual resources and other initiatives.

PLAINFIELD – Attention, voters in the Plainfield Township Park District – renew now, and a new recreation center will be on its way.

The Nov. 8 referendum also would allow the park district to install lighting on some of the ballfields and update or replace playground equipment for as much or less than residents pay now.

“A referendum bond amount approved in 2001 will be retired next year,” Executive Director Carlo Capalbo said. “This referendum essentially keeps [the tax rate] the same.”

According to the park district, a $250,000 home was assessed at $208.18 in district taxes this year; $21.81 of that amount went toward the 2001 bond, and $21.81 would go to the 2016 bond.

The ballot question asks whether the park district, located in Will and Kendall counties, should improve neighborhood parks and facilities and build a new recreation center with bonds in the amount of $10.5 million.

“We have 1,300 acres of land, but we are facility-poor,” Capalbo said. “Our activities are more limited, especially during the winter months.”

Capalbo noted that the district holds as many programs as it’s able to at District 202 schools, but they aren’t available during the school day or when the buildings are closed during vacations.

If the referendum is approved, a $6.5 million recreation center would be constructed at Bott Park on Renwick Road.

The district also would add lighting at some ballfields and lighting and safety features in neighborhood parks. And the referendum bond would advance improvements recommended for various locations in the 2015 Master Plan.

“Nothing’s being taken away.

Pass or fail, we will continue to be aggressive with replacing our older playground equipment,” Capalbo said. “But there’s an incredible benefit for everyone using our parks to get it approved [now].”

JOLIET – Teresa Moore and her 17-year-old daughter, Shannah Triplett, both of Joliet, walked into the Joliet Central High School student center in anticipation of their first health expo event together.

Moore said that at 49 years old, she was open to learning new things.

Triplett heard about the event at her school, Joliet West.

“I want to learn about self-esteem, how to make good choices and depression, things teens tend to struggle with the most,” she said.

On Saturday, about 200 girls, teens and women filled the student center for the inaugural Women & Girls Health Expo, hosted by the Zonta Club of Joliet and the National Hook-Up of Black Women Inc. The free event kicked off at 10 a.m. with a breakfast and a meet-andgreet with the vendors, who promoted health, wellness, safety, beauty and prayer. After that, Zonta Club of Joliet President Yolanda Reyes spoke.

Reyes said part of Zonta’s group mission is to improve the legal, health, political, economic, educational and professional status of women globally and locally through advocacy.

“Zonta, along with the National Hook-Up of Black Women, are both working together to advance the status of women in our community. It was only natural that our organizations collaborate on the health fair,” Reyes said.

OSTIR PHYSIC AL MEDICINE • OstirPhysicalMed.com • 742 Essington Rd., Joliet, IL, 60435 • 825.729.2022

Local institute offers non-drug solutions for type 2 diabetes

Annual Percentage Yield

6-Month CD $1000 Minimum

A

ccording to recent studies conducted

by Johns Hopkins Medical Institute, type 2 diabetes now affects almost 10 percent of our nation’s population – a number that continues to rise.

In fact, it’s one of the fastest growing diseases in America. Because of this unfortunate reality, researchers have said that most people will eventually need drug treatment, which often comes with a list of adverse, life changing side effects.

The good news: there are other solutions to

help combat type 2 diabetes, and they’re offered a lot closer to home than you may think.

Ostir Physical Medicine devotes much of its time treating chronically ill patients – especially those with type 2 diabetes. With 26 years of experience, the Joliet based practice continues to utilize cutting-edge technology to help restore patients’ health.

Ostir Physical Medicine is now offering natural, drug-free solutions to type 2 diabetes that help empower diabetics to lower their

numbers and enjoy living again. Developed in conjunction with Functional Medicine of America, these remarkable treatments may stop the suffering and irreversible damage caused by diabetic drugs, offering solutions that may reduce the risk of losing your vision, toes and kidneys.

The natural solutions were initially uncovered over a 20-year period of research with patients in a clinical setting.

Ostir Physical Medicine is the first clinic in the Joliet area to offer these innovative treatments.

“Our patients say the results are fantastic,” said Dr. Ostir. “In time, it’s our hope to make the Joliet area the first ‘diabetes-free zone’ in the country.

“It’s my goal for each of our patients’ medical doctors to look them straight in the eye and tell them, ‘You are no longer a diabetic.’”

Dr. Ostir is a member of the Functional Medicine of America.

White Oak Library District seeking operating increase Approval could bring new services, longer hours

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Supporters of the White Oak Library referendum hope voters will check out what a new tax levy could bring to the district.

On Nov. 8, voters in the district – which includes Romeoville, Lockport and Crest Hill – will be asked to approve an increase of 0.0305 percent, making the tax rate 0.226 percent of a property’s assessed value.

“Essentially, a $100,000 home would pay an additional $10.17 toward the annual library operating tax,” White Oak Director Scott Pointon said.

The average home in the district would see about a $16.50 increase in the annual tax bill.

If the funds are approved, the district’s branches could return to staying open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, as they did until a few years ago.

The district also would set up a digital media lab for patrons to transfer VHS tapes to DVDs, restore family photos

and record oral histories, audio broadcasts and videos, Pointon said.

Another big difference would be an increase in senior services, including expansions of home delivery and “lobby stops” in the six retirement communities within the district.

“About 25 percent of residents in the district are seniors, so everything we can do to expand our outreach services is needed,” Pointon said.

A similar referendum was defeated in March, but Pointon said feedback from the polls showed that some White Oak residents mistook White Oak’s operating referendum with the Plainfield Library District’s building referendum, which is not on the ballot this time.

“We’re trying to be very open.

There are no plans to cut any of our services if [the referendum] is not approved,” Pointon said. “But our usage has gone up in every measurable way, and hopefully, people realize what they gain from a district that continues to meet their needs.”

One coupon per system. Must present coupon at time of service. Not valid with any other offers or discounts. Expires 11/7/16.

JOANNE L. FORD-MACKAY Born: September 2, 1929 Died: October 21, 2016

JoAnne L. Ford-Mackay, age 87, passed away on Friday, October 21, 2016 at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center.

JoAnne was born in Joliet on September 2, 1929, the daughter of Sam and Myrtle (nee Johnson) Pettinato. As an only child, she enjoyed everything in the art field. Her parents introduced her to the accordion at the age of 5 and took lessons from Joe Mosele until the age of 19.

She was also an accomplished artist, especially drawing faces of male movie stars; then sending them to the stars and in return she would receive autographed pictures of the stars with encouraging notes.

This became a treasured hobby of JoAnne and was highlighted on the front page of the Joliet Spectator. She enjoyed collecting numerous photo albums and often drew characters in them depicting the storyline of her life events.

its CEO in 1989. Along the way he helped steer actors to work in the fledgling television industry in the 1950s and later signed politicians such as Gerald Ford and Alexander Haig so they could chart careers after they left public service.

His television plan involved teaming up under-utilized film stars with directors who were skilled at delivering low budget movies within a few days, his family said in a news release. The formula led to the creation of early televi-

Costly statehouse races highlight Ill. power fight

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press CHICAGO – State Rep. Michael McAuliffe is no stranger to being at the center of a power struggle that could define the future of Illinois.

Twenty years ago, the only Republican lawmaker in Chicago had just taken over his late father’s district when he found himself targeted by Democrats fighting to regain the majority they’d lost two years before. That November, Democrats won back the majority they’ve held ever since, and McAuliffe got a taste of the attention he faces again this year in a fight raging from St. Louis’ Metro East suburbs to Kankakee to Chicago’s Northwest Side.

“We knew this was going to be a battleground,” McAuliffe said.

This year, the political clash in Illinois pits the nation’s longest-serving state House speaker, Michael Madigan, against first-term Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who is using his vast wealth to fund GOP candidates in an effort to diminish the supermajorities that Democrats have held in the Illinois Legislature since 2013. The two years that House Democrats were in the minority in the mid-1990s marked

Michelle Obama: ‘Beyond proud’ at U.S. Navy sub ceremony

GROTON, Conn. – First lady Michelle Obama said she was “beyond proud” to take part in a commissioning ceremony Saturday for the U.S. Navy attack submarine named for her home state of Illinois.

The submarine officially became the USS Illinois, SSN 786, and began active service at a ceremony at the submarine base in Groton, Connecticut.

Mrs. Obama, the ship sponsor, gave the order to “man our ship and bring her to life” before the crew of about 130 men ran onto the vessel.

“Thank you for giving me the incredible privilege of being associated with you and with

For Republicans, getting majorities in either chamber will be difficult because Democrats have built large leads: 71-47 in the House, and 39-20 in the Senate. But decreasing the Democrats’ numbers can increase Rauner’s bargaining power to get policy changes he wants, including weakening the influence of unions and passing business-friendly legislation as conditions for him to sign off on the state’s first full budget since spring 2014.

If Democrats increase their numbers, however, they could dictate the remainder of Rauner’s term by crafting the budget they want without the gov-

The first lady, who is from Chicago, has made supporting military families a priority.

She is considered an honorary member of the crew and will be involved in the lives of the sub’s sailors and families.

It will be about two more years before the USS Illinois’ first deployment as it undergoes additional testing and certification for its maiden deployment.

The shootings from Friday afternoon to early Saturday happened in some of Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods on the city’s South and West sides.

Daniel Beiser and his Republican challenger, Michael Babcock.

That’s only a glimpse of the millions of dollars that both parties are investing in about a dozen competitive races across the state. But McAuliffe’s race is particularly important to both parties: Thanks in part to the governor’s personal wealth, Republicans have spent more than $2.6 million in TV ads for McAuliffe – the most in any statehouse race in the U.S. this year, according to figures compiled by the Center for Public Integrity.

During his first closely watched campaign 20 years ago, McAuliffe said, he thought it novel that TV ads ran on cable. Today, Rauner’s donations to legislative races has made this election cycle like no other in Illinois history.

The GOP is outspending Democrats for the first time in recent memory, forcing them to raise more money to keep up with the nearly $21 million that Rauner has given to the Illinois Republican Party committee for races this year. Rauner has contributed another $12 million to Republican House leader Jim Durkin and $1 million to Comptroller Leslie Munger, and they’ve funneled some of those funds into races as well.

Friday after his squad car left the roadway and flipped in rural Randolph County, about 2 miles north of Chester.

Randolph County State’s Attorney Jeremy Walker said an arrest warrant has been issued for Jason Michael Stoker, 34, of Chester, on a charge of aggravated fleeing and eluding. They said he was driving a red 2006 Pontiac G6.

Fire destroys historic ballroom in suburban Chicago

WILLOW SPRINGS – Authorities are investigating a fire that destroyed a historic suburban Chicago ballroom that hosted performers including Count Basie, Guy Lombardo and Artie Shaw during the Big Band era.

Willow Springs Fire Chief David Niemeyer said the fire at the Willowbrook Ballroom was reported about 2 p.m. Friday. No one was injured.

Niemeyer said the building is a total loss and that firefighters had a difficult time putting out the blaze because poor water supply and the building’s older architecture.

This is the second time the ballroom was destroyed at the same location. The building was rebuilt after a fire in 1930, and it still hosted dances with live orchestras. The ballroom marked its 90th birthday in August.

‘Unprecedented’ new FBI review criticized by Clinton

By JULIE PACE and KEN THOMAS The Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Hillary Clinton lashed out Saturday at the FBI’s handling of a new email review, leading a chorus of Democratic leaders who declared the bureau’s actions just days before the election “unprecedented” and “deeply troubling.” Emboldened Republican rival Donald Trump seized on the reignited email controversy, hoping to raise new doubts about Clinton’s trustworthiness.

Rallying supporters in Florida, Clinton pressed FBI Director James Comey to put out the “full and complete facts” about the review into a cache of recently discovered emails.

Clinton backers panned Comey’s letter to Congress about the new emails as severely lacking crucial details.

“It is pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election,” Clinton said. She accused Trump of using the issue to confuse and mislead voters in the final leg of the campaign for the Nov. 8 election.

The controversy over Clinton’s email practices at the State Department has dogged her for more than a year. The former secretary of state often has been reluctant to weigh in on the matter – and defensive when she’s been pushed to do so.

But Clinton’s approach to this latest flareup is markedly different, underscoring worries that the matter could damage her standing with voters in the election’s final days.

Clinton advisers have been rallying Democratic lawmakers and other supporters to her defense, including members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Earlier Saturday, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said there was “no evidence of wrongdoing” in the new email review and “no indication this is even about Hillary.”

But Comey, who enraged Republicans in the summer when he announced the FBI would not prosecute Clinton for her loose handling of official email, in fact said the new trove appeared to be “pertinent” to the Clinton email investigation. He did not explain how.

A government official told The Associated Press on Saturday that the Justice Department had advised the FBI against telling Congress about the new developments in the Clinton investigation because of the potential fallout so close to the election. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and discussed it on the condition of anonymity.

Justice officials concluded the letter would be inconsistent with department policy that directs against investigative actions that could be seen as affecting an election or helping a particular candidate, the official said.

Landing with a thud, the email issue again threatened to undermine an advantage built

by Clinton, the Democratic nominee, over Trump and raised the possibility that the Republican might be able to seize late momentum.

Trump told a crowd in Golden, Colorado, on Saturday that the FBI’s review of Clinton email practices raises “everybody’s deepest hope that justice, as last, can be properly delivered.” His crowd cheered Clinton’s email woes, which Trump has taken to calling the biggest political scandal since Watergate.

The FBI is looking into whether there was classified information on a device belonging to Anthony Weiner, the disgraced ex-congressman who is separated from longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Comey, in his letter to Congress on Friday, said the FBI had recently come upon new emails while pursuing an unrelated case and was reviewing whether they were classified.

A person familiar with the investigation, who lacked authority to discuss the matter publicly and insisted on anonymity, said the device that appears to be at the center of the new review was not a computer Weiner shared with Abedin.

As a result, it was not a device searched for work-related emails at the time of the initial investigation. The person said “this is news to [Abedin]” that her emails would be on a computer belonging to her husband.

The person added that if the emails included those related to Abedin’s work with Clinton at the State Department, they are expected to be duplicates of what she had already turned over as part of the initial investigation.

Acupuncture for neurological pain relief SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak The central nervous system is made up of millions of nerves that allow the brain to communicate with all parts of the body.

Any of these millions of nerves can become damaged, either through an injury to the spine or from disease such as diabetes, shingles, stroke, HIV, cancer or even from cancer treatment, according to the American Chronic Pain Association.

Acupuncture involves the use of fine metallic needles inserted along the body’s meridians, or energy channels, in order to restore balance within the nervous system. The needles are turned by hand or through electrical stimulation in order to relieve pain by causing the body to release endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers. The procedure also stimulates the area of the brain that calls for the release of serotonin, which affects mood, according to Harvard University.

As the patient lies in a reclining position, an acupuncturist generally inserts 4 to 10 needles, leaving them in place for 10 to 30 minutes while the patient relaxes. Treatment typically includes six to 12 sessions over a period of about three months, says Harvard Health.

Acupuncture is considered to be very safe with a low incidence of complications. Needles are sealed in packaging and designed for one use only in order to prevent infection.

Symptoms can include a “needles and pins” or electric shock sensation. Other noted descriptions are numbness, tingling, burning or stabbing.

Always consult an experienced acupuncturist for relief of neurological pain.

Acupuncture is a natural treatment for pain relief. It is an ancient art and science originating in China thousands of years ago that has gained wide acceptance in the United States and is now covered by many insurance policies, according to ACPA.

notably silent on the FBI disclosure.

“Of course, the officials should complete their review, and it’s just as important that they provide Americans with clarity into what exactly they’re reviewing,” said Sadie Weiner, spokeswoman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “Republicans flailing around on this are showing how desperate they are to save their political campaigns, but nothing between now and Nov. 8 will change their damaging records or caustic allegiance to Donald Trump.”

The top races have accumulated huge price tags already, with millions more still to be spent in the final days of the race. Wealthy donors have pumped in more than $50 million in last-minute cash.

The GOP’s Senate Leadership Fund raised $7 million in the first 19 days of October and $25 million more since then. In addition, a nonprofit affiliated with the super PAC has transferred $11 million more. On the Democratic side, the Senate Majority PAC raised $19 million through last week. That’s more than it ever has raised in a single month, showing donor enthusiasm for the push to take control of the chamber.

Republicans long ago ceded the

races in Illinois and Wisconsin where GOP senators are expected to go down to defeat, while GOP incumbents in Ohio and Arizona are far enough ahead that neither side is too focused there anymore.

The Wisconsin race has showed some movement in recent days, prompting the Senate Majority PAC to start spending limited sums for Democratic challenger Russ Feingold. The same group is dipping back into Florida after Democrats earlier pulled their ad spending from the state in light of the strength of incumbent GOP Sen. Marco Rubio.

Overall, as of midweek, Republicans had spent at least $394 million in the cycle to date, and Democratic spending topped $348 million, according to officials tracking ad spending.

The top-spending race has been Pennsylvania, where Democrat Katie McGinty is challenging GOP Sen. Pat Toomey in a battleground presidential state. Democrats have spent a whopping $61 million there from the beginning of the year through midweek, and Republicans nearly that much at $56 million, according to Republicans monitoring ad buys. Each party has at least $8 million in ad reservations still to come in the state.

• Sunday, October 30, 2016

WASHINGTON – The race for control of the Senate is tearing toward its finale on a last-minute burst of cash from both sides, with a half-dozen top races essentially tied.

The outcomes of those contests, in states from Nevada to Missouri to New Hampshire, will determine which party can claim the Senate majority next year. The late-breaking news of a renewed FBI investigation related to Hillary Clinton’s emails has the potential to shift the campaigns in favor of the GOP in their final days.

Republicans have been fretting about the possibility that the toss-up races will break against them on Nov. 8. History shows that close races tend to move one way as a group. In 2014, Republicans won a swath of Senate races and took back control of the chamber from the Democrats.

This time, with Donald Trump at the top of the GOP ticket and inflaming divisions within the party, the concern was that the leading races would all go for Democrats.

In addition to Nevada, Missouri and New Hampshire, the other close contests are in Pennsylvania, North Caro-

lina and Indiana.

Except for Nevada, where there’s an open seat with the retirement of Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, all are Republican-held seats that Democrats are trying to win as they aim to pick up the five seats needed to wrest the Senate majority from the GOP. If Democrat Hillary Clinton wins the White House, Democrats need to pick up four Senate seats because Tim Kaine, as vice president, would cast tie-breaking votes in a 50-50 Senate.

With news Friday that the FBI will investigate whether there is classified information in newly discovered emails related to Clinton, Republicans expressed hope that the races could break their way.

“Every Democrat has willingly tied themselves to Hillary Clinton with seemingly no reservations whatsoever – and there’s no getting away from her now,” said Ian Prior, spokesman for the Senate Leadership Fund, a super political action committee allied with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. “If this ends up tightening the presidential by even a few points, it could definitely make a difference in Senate races.”

Democrats disputed that assessment, even as their top candidates were

BUSINESS

CenturyLink has bright spots, but I don’t like it Dear Mr. Berko: I bought 300 shares of CenturyLink five years ago at $46.

It hasn’t gotten that high since. My stockbroker recommends that I buy another 300 shares and reduce my basis to $37.50. Your valued opinion is requested. – HD, Buffalo, New York Dear HD: You may be asking the wrong person. I didn’t care for CenturyLink (CTL-$28) in June 1988, when $3,000 would have bought 100 shares that paid a $12 dividend. A 100-share purchase in 1988 has segued into 928 shares today, worth $27,800 – an impressive 8.75 percent compounded annual return, not including dividends. Meanwhile, today’s $2.16-per-share dividend, totaling $1,963, is 163 times more than that $12 dividend.

And I didn’t like CTL when it traded at $20 in late 2008 or when it traded at $47 two years later. And today, at $28, with a 7.4 percent yield and lower revenues and earnings projected for 2016, I still don’t like CTL, which has 556 million shares outstanding. And apparently, neither does T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, which, between September 2015 and June 2016, unloaded 16 million shares of its 20 million-share position. In fact,

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko it seems that many of CenturyLink’s officers and directors don’t like the company, either. Since September 2010, officers and directors, during 144 insider transactions, have sold over 3 million shares. And during that six-year time frame, there have been only five insider purchases of CTL by directors, totaling 25,000 shares. That suggests an interesting story!

CenturyLink, founded in 1968, has 47,000 employees, had $17.9 billion in 2015 revenues and is the third-largest telecommunications company in the U.S. It provides internet, broadband, voice and wireless services to consumers and businesses, as well as entertainment services under the CenturyLink Prism TV and DirecTV brands.

CTL also owns Verizon Wireless assets in Alabama and Missouri and, in 2011, bought the wireless assets of Qwest.

CTL does most of the things that Verizon does, but on a much smaller scale.

Revenues in 2012 were a record $18.4 billion, but each year since,

they’ve inched lower, to an expected $17.7 billion this year. And record 2012 earnings of $1.48 billion are expected to be lower this year, at $1.4 billion. In 2017, revenues are expected to come in a little lower again, at $17.6 billion, and earnings may also continue to inch lower next year. Wall Street is looking at $1.3 billion, certainly enough to cover the $2.16 dividend.

But the lack of revenue and earnings progress is concerning to numerous investors – including T. Rowe Price, which may unload its last block of 3.8 million shares.

On the other hand, analysts at Merrill Lynch, Morningstar, Market Edge, S&P Capital IQ, J.P. Morgan, Raymond James, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Oppenheimer, Barclays, Citigroup and others have positive reports on CenturyLink. It might be foolish of me to pan CTL when a dozen of the Street’s best seem to adore it.

Net profit margins, which crashed from 15 percent in 2010 to 4 percent several years ago, are improving. In the coming few years, those margins could come in at 10 percent. That’s good!

And it seems CTL’s revenues will enjoy organic growth as gains in

demand for Ethernet-, MPLS- and facilities-based video services have been brisk. That’s good, too!

Meanwhile, management’s international expansion of its CenturyLink Cloud is moving ahead, and CTL is positioning itself as a global leader in cloud infrastructure, IT solutions and content-driven services. CTL’s cloud is operational in the U.S. plus several European nations and will be introduced shortly in the Asia-Pacific region.

That’s also good!

Meanwhile, with acquisitions, CTL has been bolstering its security services business. A recently inked deal with WISeKey, an analytical firm, will provide enhanced cybersecurity services for internet-of-things providers.

That’s good, too! And as management builds a better company, investors, receiving a 7.4 percent dividend, won’t mind waiting a few years for their capital gains. The $2.16 dividend is well-covered and makes waiting much easier. Still, I don’t care for CTL, and neither does Morgan Stanley.

OUR VIEW

Remember to keep safety in mind this Halloween Halloween is Monday, which means the day will be filled with ghosts and goblins running from one party to the next.

OK, maybe ghosts and goblins costumes aren’t as popular as they once were, but wearing costumes is.

We’re guessing Cubs players will be a popular dress-up choice this Halloween. We suggest avoiding clown costumes, though.

We digress.

Halloween is fun. It is a time to dress up, pretend and simply have fun at all kinds of Halloween-related activities, from costume parties to trick-or-treating. We encourage everyone to do that, whether you’re a kid or you just want to act like one.

Just remember to be smart and keep it safe.

Follow your community’s allotted trickor-treat time slot and remember to keep close watch to ensure your children are safe.

While many Halloween activities happened during the past week, Monday is the biggest day for trick-or-treating.

These hours overlap with the afternoon rush hour. So remember to take your time getting home. And watch out for small people in costumes wandering around your neighborhood. Many children will have on masks or face paint that will likely block some of their vision. They also will be very excited because, after all, this is a fun holiday with all the candy passed around. So parents should make sure to keep it safe.

Wear something bright, not dark. Use reflective tape. Carry a flashlight (and use it). And make sure your children know that motorists can’t see them as well as they can see cars. For those with older children, make sure to talk with them about the right and wrong way to celebrate the holiday.

Having fun is good; property damage is bad.

Enjoy yourself, make sure your family has a night to remember, but also make sure to think about keeping them safe.

And if you are attending a holiday party, please don’t drink and drive. The consequences for yourself and others aren’t worth it.

Why I hate cellphones, and smartphones too Man, do I hate cellphones.

I hate the way they fit in your pocket, sandwiched against your thigh, randomly butt-dialing friends and relatives while slowly mutating your groin with a low-level dose of electromagnetic radiation.

I hate the way you’re expected to have one within hand’s reach at all times because God forbid you’re not available 24-7 and your friends and family think you’re either dead, injured or gone missing.

I hate that it’s near impossible to contact anyone outside your friends and family unless you have their cellphone number, but since nobody uses a land line anymore – and there’s no phone books anyway – that the only way you can acquire the number is by purchasing it online from some sketchy search engine, which also cross references work, credit and arrest records.

I hate that, while it’s hard for you to acquire someone else’s cellphone number, telemarketers can obtain yours with ease.

I hate that half the calls I now get on my cellphone are from telemarketers.

I hate that half the telemarketer calls are from pre-recorded voice robots.

I hate that the pre-recorded voice robots don’t have feelings, so they don’t get upset when you scream

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus obscenities at them. Or take you off their calling list when you scream “take me off your calling list” at them.

I hate that I now get at least one pre-recorded voice robot call per day asking about my feelings. Usually about Trump. Or Clinton.

Finally, I hate using cellphones for anything besides phone calls.

Part of the problem is that I’m too stoopid to use my smartphone.

Take texting, for instance. My fingers are purely analog in function; they’re good at things like dialing or keyboarding or scratching my irradiated groin, but perform poorly with the slick glass digital interface of a smartphone screen.

They tend to track one letter to the right, so my text of “How are you doing?” comes out as “Jpe str ups fpomh?” Which autocorrect then interprets as “Joe stirs up sponges?”

Which then provokes a text response of “Who’s Joe?” It’s a real pain in the “sdd.”

If I’m real careful, and turn the phone sideways, I can text short messages. Unless there’s an “M.” I can’t text the letter “M.” Instead my finger

hits the backspace key. So when I try to ask my wife “You home?” I end up texting “You hoe?” Which usually she doesn’t appreciate.

Any other function, forget it.

I can access the weather, but the forecast is always from Cupertino.

I can surf the Internet, but I can’t read anything on the screen.

I can navigate Maps, but I always end up getting more lost.

I can activate Siri, but, like my wife, she never seems to understand me. “You hoe?” I just asked her. In response, she gave me a list of the 15 closest U-Haul rentals.

Truth be told, I’m pretty apathetic when it comes to apps. Apps are supposed to make your life easier. Mostly they just make it easier to waste time.

Wait, strike that.

They make it easier to virtually waste time.

Because God forbid one moment of your actual life should pass without your eyes glued to a cellphone.

Which brings me to the main reason I hate cellphones. Because instead of allowing you to experience reality first hand, they trick you into experiencing it virtually.

A couple weeks ago, I watched a family of four taking a walk down Black Road. Mom, dad, two kids. Each thumbing away on their cellphone.

Ignoring one another.

Later, I saw a young couple out on

date at a local restaurant. Must have been a first date. Both were dressed up. Both looking to make a good impression. Before the food arrived, both spent most of their time texting.

How romantic.

Yesterday, I went to the doctor’s office. Each of the five people sitting across from me in the waiting room had their eyes glued to their phones.

All, until the nurse called their names, were completely oblivious to their surroundings. The weird thing was that all five were seniors.

Wouldn’t their time have been better spent complaining to one another?

But then why express feelings when you can send an emoticon?

Why have a conversation when you can Tweet instead? Why waste time watching the World Series when you can post a selfie on Snapchat of you taking a selfie at the World Series?

Cellphones now control every aspect of our lives. It almost seems like there’s some sort of Illuminati conspiracy going on to distract us from … oh, wait.

Excuse me, I have to take this call.

“Hello? Yes? Who do I feel should be president?”

Another problem the district faces is the security of the students and staff due to the bumper-to-bumper semi traffic on the surrounding roadways.

34 ROUND 1: CLASS 8A: NO. 5 OSWEGO 10, NO. 28 JOLIET WEST 9

Joliet West does everything but win

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com OSWEGO – Too bad the determining factor was not the eye test.

For almost all of Friday night’s Class 8A first-round football playoff game at No. 5 seed Oswego, No. 28 Joliet West was the better team.

Showing what makes a good program great, however, six-time defending Southwest Prairie champion Oswego found a way to overcome its SPC rival with a 10-9 victory that was not secured until Mitch Blocker kicked a 19-yard field goal with 18.9 seconds remaining.

Believing the numbers on the scoreboard when it ended was difficult.

“We wanted our program to have a defining victory, and this is it,” West coach Jason Aubry said. “That’s where we think our program is. We feel we have one of the best programs, in season and out of season, on and off the field, in the state. We lost to a tradition-rich team by one point in the closing seconds. That says it right there.”

With the way the West defense was playing, the eventual outcome seemed improbable after the Tigers’ Terrence Neal blocked a punt into the end zone that Adonnis Lee recovered for a touchdown with 9:32 left to stretch West’s 3-0 lead to 9-0. Matthew Prieboy’s extra-point attempt was blocked, and that would come back to haunt the Tigers.

Oswego then drove to what would have been the West 16, but wide receiver Elliott Pipkin fumbled after making a catch and Tigers linebacker Julius Garrett, who was all over the field all night, recovered and returned the ball to the Oswego 18 with 6:56 left.

“Our defensive kids played lights out,” Aubry said of the unit that included linemen Robert Ford, Rashad Wilson, Corey Jones and Robert Hillman; linebackers Garrett, Andrew Smith, Jonathan Pullen and Marcus Blackmon; corners Justin Painter, Marco Paramo and Dawson Beene and safety Arthur Hart. “They showed guts and heart, and I couldn’t be more proud of them than I am. They did not give an inch.”

Hart delivered multiple crushing hits, and Garrett was a man possessed, living in the Oswego backfield.

“When we put [Garrett] at linebacker during the week, he was jacked up and ready to go,” Aubry said.

“They put me at linebacker to fill a gap that needed to be filled,” Garrett said.

West (6-4) punted it back to Oswego

Eric Ginnard - eginnard@shawmedia.com

Joliet West’s Alec Vonch is surrounded by Oswego’s defense on Friday in Oswego. The Tigers fell to the Panthers, 10-9, in the Class 8A Round 1 playoff game. with 5:07 left, and the Panthers (10-0) drove 34 yards in three plays, with quarterback Levi Olson hitting Pipkin with an 8-yard touchdown pass.

Blocker’s extra point made it 9-7 with 4:32 left.

One play after a roughing-the-passer penalty on Oswego kept West’s next possession alive, Tigers running back Kendrick Roach was stripped as he battled forward, and the Panthers’ Julian Bell recovered at midfield.

Two plays later, Blackmon came up with West’s third interception – Painter had the first two – and the Tigers had a first down at the Oswego 47 with 2:57 left.

“It is unbelievable how well Justin Painter played,” Aubry said of the junior cornerback who blanketed Pipkin, Oswego’s No. 1 receiver, all night.

“He’s 5-8, 130-nothing and he had an outstanding game.”

The Oswego defense stepped up again, however, and a West punt into the wind rolled dead at the Oswego 41 with 2:04 left.

With no timeouts remaining, Olson completed passes of 9 yards to Tanner

Sohst, 18 to Benjamin Graue and 12 to Jamal Fomby Jr., then ran for 18 yards on a keeper for a first-and-goal at the 5.

Drew White went up the middle to the 3, where he was smacked down by Garrett. Olson spiked the ball to stop the clock with 0:23 left. Aiden Avalos, Oswego’s other kicker, was on the field on third down when West called timeout.

Oswego switched to Blocker, and after a West encroachment penalty moved the ball to the 11/2-yard line, he nailed the game-winning field goal from 19 yards.

The Panthers’ reward is a second-round home game against Edwardsville, which beat Oak Park-River Forest, 23-20, in overtime.

At the time West scored on the blocked punt, Olson was 1 of 13 passing for 6 yards with two interceptions.

That’s how well West’s secondary was playing.

“They had a good game, a real good game – three interceptions,” Garrett said of his teammates in the secondary. “They played their hearts out.”

Olson, though, went 8 of 13 for 107

yards and the big touchdown after the 1-for-13 beginning. Pipkin caught four passes for 43 yards.

“I thought we outplayed them,” Aubry said. “They just had a couple drives at the end.”

The Panthers rushed for only 93 yards in 36 carries, but their defense limited West to a net of 92 yards in 29 attempts. Tigers quarterback Jaxon Aubry completed 10 of 20 passes for 60 yards with one interception.

West, which led, 3-0, on Prieboy’s 31-yard field goal with 6:25 left in the first half, lost a golden opportunity to score in the first quarter. Omari Ferguson ran a jet sweep for an apparent 81-yard touchdown, but a block-inthe-back penalty occurred at the Oswego 5-yard line, just before Ferguson crossed the goal line.

The ball came back to the 15, West reached a second-and-goal at the 1, but a fumble that Jaxon Aubry recovered at the 4, a 7-yard loss on a sweep and a missed field goal ended the threat.

Somehow, it all added up to a onepoint loss for the Tigers. At least the scoreboard said so.

Both offenses came out firing on all cylinders in the third quarter as each team scored 21 points. Morris received the second-half kickoff and scored on a 19-yard pass from Ricky Del Favero to Delaney Stutzki on a fourth-and-12 play.

Marion responded with a 54-yard scoring strike from Schmid to Milligan less than a minute later and the Redskins countered with a 28-yard run by Feeney.

A two-point conversion try failed, but Morris led 33-14 with 6:34 left in the third.

Marion again scored quickly, need-

ing just four plays, the last a 37-yard pass from Schmid to Milligan, to cut the lead to 33-21 before Morris got a 72yard TD run by Sobol and Feeney added the conversion to make it 41-21 with 3:24 left in the third. Marion capped the third-quarter outburst with a 44-yard TD pass from Schmid to Jaden Lacy to pull to within 41-28 late in the period.

“That third quarter was crazy,” Feeney said. “I have never been part of a quarter like that. It was just back and forth.”

Morris was forced to punt on the first play of the fourth quarter and Marion drove inside the Redskins’ 10 and threatened to pull to within a touchdown. But the Morris defense held the Wildcats at bay, with Jayson Podshweidt stopping Caden Hilliard for a three-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from the 2.

Morris took over on its own five-yard line and Feeney broke through the Marion defense for a 61-yard gain and a facemask penalty at the end of the run put the ball at the Marion 19. After a fiveyard gain by Gerischer and another personal foul on Marion put the ball on the Wildcats’ 7, Gerischer scored his second TD of the night to cap the scoring with 5:38 to play.

“A win is a win in the playoffs,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s by one point or 20. We are playing next week and that’s what matters.

“Our lines, especially the offensive line, took control and we were able to move the ball. And our defensive line made the plays when we needed them to.”

ROUND 1: CLASS 7A FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: NO. 2 EAST ST. LOUIS 44, NO. 31 LINCOLN-WAY WEST 7

Lincoln-Way West falls to mighty East St. Louis

By DEAN CRIDDLE

Special to the Herald-News EAST ST. LOUIS – After watching his Lincoln-Way West football team fall, 44-7, to top-ranked East St. Louis on Saturday in a Class 7A first-round playoff game, Warriors coach Dave Ernst was asked to compare the Flyers with other top suburban football programs.

Ernst didn’t hesitate.

“Before today I thought H-F [Homewood-Flossmoor] was the best team I’ve seen and best we’ve played. But after today, I would say that East St. Louis is right with them,’’ Ernst said.

“That’s a very good football team.’’

Scoring in almost every way imaginable, the undefeated Flyers did little to disprove Ernst’s opinion of them

at Clyde Jordan Stadium. Senior quarterback Reyondous Estes threw two touchdown passes and senior All-American Jeff Thomas returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown as part of the Flyers’ victory.

Trailing the Warriors (5-5), 7-6, midway in the second quarter, Estes connected with James Knight on a 63-yard scoring pass and Jarrell Anderson on a 35-yard scoring strike two minutes apart to take a 20-7 halftime lead.

Thomas then thrilled a large hometown crowd with a 74-yard punt return for a score with 10:07 left in the third quarter as the Flyers (10-0) broke the game open.

Estes added a 2-yard scoring run while Tahler Cook returned an intercepted pass 49 yards and LaMontre’ Harvey returned a fumble 20 yards

for the Flyers, who will host Glenbard North in a second-round game. Glenbard North defeated Pekin, 49-0, on Friday.

West scored on a 14-yard pass from quarterback Cal Pohrte to Kevin Davis early in the second quarter to take the 7-6 lead. Even after the Flyers went ahead 20-7 on Estes’ two touchdown passes, the Warriors still had a chance to stay in the game right before the end of the first half.

But with first-and-goal from the 10yard line, West failed to cash in.

“If we score, then it’s 20-14 at halftime and we have the momentum,’’ Ernst said. “Instead, they stop us and Thomas returns a punt 74 yards for a touchdown two minutes into the second half.

“We had our chances.’’

Displaying the form that has made them the top Class 7A team in the state all year, the Flyers’ performance was impressive to most. But coach Darren Sunkett said his team still has things to clean up.

“I’m pleased that we were able to get the ‘W’ and that we get to move on to the next round. But on both sides of the football I thought we were sloppy,’’ Sunkett said. “Our first four possessions we had terrible field position. Once we were able to get out of there we were able to move the football and put some points on the scoreboard.

“But moving forward we need to clean up some things on both sides of the football. But that’s on the coaching staff. That’s on me. We’ll work on those things this week.’’

MORRIS – In a game that featured two high-powered offenses with contrasting styles, the power running game of Morris prevailed Saturday afternoon in the first round of the Class 5A football playoffs in a 48-28 win over Marion.

The Redskins (8-2) amassed nearly 500 yards on the ground, including 214

by Michael Feeney and 180 by Keagan Sobol, and needed every one of them to offset the more than 300 passing yards accumulated by Marion quarterback Jake Schmid. The win boosts Morris into the second round next weekend, when they will travel to Troy Triad, which defeated Geneseo, 35-7, in its firstround game.

The game didn’t start off as the backand-forth scoring contest it became after halftime, as Morris methodically built a 20-7 lead at intermission. The Redskins scored first on a six-yard touchdown run by Michael Gerischer before Sobol broke loose for a 50-yard TD. An extra-point kick by Dallas Hastings and two-point conversion run by Feeney gave Morris a 15-0 lead.

Marion answered with a 21-yard scoring pass from Schmid to Hunter Milligan, the first of three TDs the duo teamed up for, to cut the score to 15-7.

Late in the first half, Morris’ defense got a safety when intentional grounding was called on Marion in its own end zone to make it 17-7 and the Redskins closed the half with a 20-yard field goal

by Hastings.

36 ROUND 1: CLASS 3A PLAYOFFS: NO. 4 WILMINGTON 51, NO. 13 CHICAGO CORLISS 8

Wilmington has no problem beating Corliss

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent WILMINGTON – It didn’t take long for Wilmington to score Friday night in the opening round of the Class 3A state football playoffs.

On the first play from scrimmage, Owen Weaver ran 56 yards for the touchdown and the Wildcats went on to beat Chicago Corliss, 51-8.

Wilmington (10-0) has a Round 2 home date with Byron, which beat Eureka.

Weaver, the Joliet area’s leading rusher, carried only four times for 96 yards and had three touchdowns, all in the first quarter. He also scored on runs of 9 and 11 yards. That gives the senior 33 touchdowns and puts him over 200 points for the Wildcats’ offense.

After Weaver’s second touchdown, Wilmington’s Brett McWilliams recovered a Corliss fumble in the end zone for a touchdown.

“I have to give credit to Kyle Hairald for getting the sack in the end zone,” McWilliams said on his touchdown. “All I had to do was fall on it.

This is the playoffs and you can’t overlook anyone. We worked hard all week in preparation for this game and we will do the same starting [Saturday].”

Dustin Kelly scored in the first quarter on a 4-yard run. He ended with 44 yards on five carries.

William Van Duyne and Tyler Holcomb added touchdown runs of 46 yards and 4 yards, respectively.

The Wildcats built a 44-0 first-quarter lead and led 51-0 at the break along with holding the Trojans to 5 total yards in the half.

Corliss started the second half, along with the running clock, and put together a nine-play drive that culminated with a 1-yard touchdown run by Jivontae Price. Michael Crystal converted the two-point conversion.

“We played well tonight,” Wilmington coach Jeff Reents said. “We had the opportunity to work on some things and get plays for everyone to help our depth. Our offensive line did an outstanding job once again. We also did not give up the big play defensively, something that we have done the past couple of weeks.”

The senior-dominated offensive line takes pride in blocking for Weaver and the other running backs.

“It’s all about our preparation up front,” James Cox said. “We work hard, but Owen makes it pretty easy also. He is a great running back. The big thing about him is that he doesn’t demand the ball on every play. He respects us, this team is very close but we still have work to do.”

“Our offensive line is a very closeknit group on and off the field,” Sam Jones said. “We do so much together and we take great pride in getting the job done for our backs.

“We know what’s ahead. If we play Byron, we want revenge. They beat us last year and we beat them the year before. No days off, we will continue to work and get even better.”

ROUND 1: CLASS 8A FOOTBALL: NO. 18 LINCOLN-WAY EAST 63, NO. 15 CHICAGO TAFT 15

Lincoln-Way East responds to early deficit with dominant win

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media correspondent CHICAGO – Lincoln-Way East reeled off 63 straight points after falling behind Taft, 7-0, on Saturday to earn a 63-15 Class 8A first-round playoff win.

The Griffins (8-2) will host a secondround game next weekend against Waubonsie Valley.

Taft opened the game by recovering an onside kick. The Eagles then drove it 43 yards in three plays for a touchdown. The big play of the drive occurred when Isaiah Feria took a handoff on a reverse and hit quarterback Abdullah Ahmad with a 35-yard pass to the 5-yard-line. Ahmad then hit receiver Kevin Gniedziejko with a

5-yard pass for the 7-0 lead with 10:58 to play in the first quarter. That same combination would give Taft its last score late in the fourth quarter.

“Give them credit for putting us on our heels on that first drive,” East coach Rob Zvonar said. “We settled down. You can’t get too excited or too down after what happens on a first drive. I’ve seen us go up 7-0 and it go the other way, and I’ve seen us fall behind 7-0 and it go the other way.”

The Griffins marched 71 yards in 12 plays on their opening possession to tie the score at 7-7. Nigel Muhammad carried six times for 31 yards on the drive and scored from the 1 to tie the score.

East took over after a defensive stop and scored on one play when

Brendan Morrissey ran 47 yards for a touchdown. Kicker Dominic Dzioban, who was a perfect 9 for 9 in extra-point conversions, added the extra point for the 14-7 lead.

The Griffins just kept rolling once they took the lead.

Running back Ryan Scianna capped a seven-play, 44-yard drive when he scored from the 5 to make it 21-7. Quarterback Jake Arthur threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Nick Zelenika to make it 28-7.

Arthur found Jeremy Nelson in the back of the end zone on a 16-yard pass to make it 35-7. A Muhammad 13-yard touchdown run made it 42-7 before quarterback Max Shafer’s 3-yard-run put the Griffins ahead 49-7 at halftime and ensured a running clock in the

second half.

East running backs Peter Ostrowski and Chris Wilder scored the second-half touchdowns for the Griffins.

“Max played great at quarterback and receiver, and Jake threw some good balls and made a lot of great adjustments out there,” Nelson said of the East quarterback duo.

Arthur completed 7 of 9 passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns. Shafer went 6 of 6 for 54 yards.

“The win means a lot for the team.

We had a game plan coming in, and we stuck with it and executed it well,” Arthur said. “We are a fast team and a physical team, and we wanted to use that against them. We just want to continue what we did today into next week and take it one week at a time.”

Lockport’s Austin Hoffman (9) steps over St. Charles East’s Abe Swanson (20) on Friday during a Class 8A football first-round playoff game at St. Charles East.

However, a poor punt allowed the Saints (10-0) strong field position on which they capitalized, and they did not stop. They went on to score touchdowns on seven of their final eight

possessions.

Filling in for Davis at quarterback was sophomore Jacob Karli, who had the luxury of handing the ball to Tavares Moore 22 times. The junior

ROUND 1: CLASS 4A PLAYOFFS: NO. 3 GENOA-KINGSTON 35, NO. 14 COAL-CITY 10

Rough 2nd half too much to overcome as Coal City’s season ends

By EDDIE CARIFIO

ecarifio@shawmedia.com GENOA – A big run by No. 14 Coal City at the end of the first half helped narrow Friday night’s game going into halftime.

A big run by No. 3 Genoa-Kingston on the first play of the second half gave the Cogs enough momentum to run away with a 35-10 win in the first round of the Class 4A football playoffs.

The Coalers (5-5) got a 55-yard run from Nick Hayden as they were trying to run out the clock in the first half, setting up a 30-yard field goal by Cal Smolik as time expired, cutting the lead for the Cogs (10-0) to 14-10.

But Dan Guardi went 60 yards on the first play from scrimmage in the second half to push the Cogs’ lead to 11, their biggest to that point. They scored twice more while their defense held the Coalers to 29 yards in the second half.

Guardi ran right at the Coalers’ line.

He somehow broke through, went left and then took it the rest of the way.

Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said he thought the play was over.

“That was crushing because we had him wrapped up,” Onsen said. “I’m looking, getting ready to call the next play. That’s what’s frustrating the last couple years because you try to tell kids to finish a play in the pile, but know you get penalties for that. The kids are concerned. I’m not making excuses, but that’s what you have to worry about. Again, we just have to be better tacklers there and you have to take your hat off to that ballclub. They did a lot of great things.”

The Coalers had 177 yards of offense in the first half and finished with 206 total – including minus-1 on the ground in the second half after 139 rushing yards in the first two quarters. Hayden had 117 yards on 12 carries. Their first touchdown came on a 23-yard pass from Christian Johnson to Blake Har-

Genoa-Kingston scored first on a 16yard run by Guardi. After Harseim’s touchdown grab, the Cogs put together a 16-play, 80-yard scoring drive. After Guardi made it 21-10, the Cogs forced a

three-and-out, then scored again.

Trailing 28-10, the Coalers began driving, picking up a big third-and-9 when Johnson hit Ryan Chapman on a 25-yard pass. On the third-down play on the next series, though, Guardi sacked Johnson for a 10-yard loss.

“The second half we came out and just did not compete real well,” Onsen said. “That’s different when you’re a 9-0 team and a 5-4 team in the first round of the playoffs. That type of team, we knew they were going to be outstanding, and we just wanted to keep it a four-quarter game. That didn’t happen.”

Onsen said his Coalers will learn from the experience.

“We’ve been there before,” Onsen said. “It’s not like we’re sniffing the playoffs for the first time. We know what it takes and we will get back to where we were if we work hard enough. Our seniors were great this season and they really showed our juniors the way.”

ST. CHARLES – Lockport was up against it Friday night.

Not only were the Porters on the road in the first round of the Class 8A playoffs, facing unbeaten St. Charles East, but they also were without starting quarterback Ben Davis for the third straight week.

Lockport had trouble gaining offensive rhythm and stopping East’s triple-option attack as it was all Saints from start to finish in a 45-0 shutout.

Despite the loss, Lockport coach Dan Starkey had much got be proud of after his program battled to reach six wins and qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2011.

“Things didn’t turn out the way we wanted them to tonight, but it’s a great accomplishment for these kids, especially our seniors, to get this program back in the playoffs,” Starkey said. “The competition level with this group is extremely high and I hope a season like this sets an expectation level that we can do this season after season.”

The Porters (6-4) actually brought the game into the second quarter scoreless after St. Charles East’s Matt Burns missed a 41-yard field goal attempt late in the first quarter.

running back had 100 yards of total offense, 96 on the ground.

“Everybody played their hearts out, man,” Moore said. “It’s tough to go out like this, but I’m proud of everyone who played hard and stepped up. For the guys coming up, we need to keep this going.”

East quarterback Zach Mitchell ran for his first of two rushing scores to put the Saints up 20-0 at half after a fake punt failed for Lockport.

The Porters’ best chance to score came when East fumbled in its territory late in the third quarter, but Karli’s pass on the last play of the quarter was intercepted in the end zone by East’s Josh Luedtke.

Karli was limited to 4 of 12 passing for 23 yards with two interceptions.

East totaled 355 yards of offense (303 rushing) to Lockport’s 125.

“We were hoping to get another week so we could get a few of these guys back,” Starkey said particularly of senior quarterback Davis, who has been dealing with an illness. “It didn’t work out that way, but we will learn from it and keep getting better.

“We did some good things defensively to start, but when you can’t get much going offensively, your defense is on the field for a long time. It’s tough because we gave them a lot of opportunities, and good teams capitalize on them.”

38 ROUND 1: CLASS 6A PLAYOFFS: NO. 1 LEMONT 35, NO. 16 OAK FOREST 13

Lemont rolls after receiving early jolt

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media correspondent LEMONT – Spencer Nagel said he was nervous coming into the Class 6A football playoffs, as high schoolers, even proven seniors, are wont to be.

After the unbeaten Indians’ 35-13 victory Friday night over Oak Forest Lemont coach Bret Kooi said, “I want him to play nervous more often.”

Kooi could smile, and Nagel eventually did as well, because Lemont recovered from an early punch in the mouth – an 80-yard bolt up the middle for a touchdown by the Bengals’ Sean Davis on the first play from scrimmage – to win decisively, if not comfortably.

Lemont faces Danville in the second round.

Between Davis’ run and the final horn, there were plenty of nervous moments for the Indians (10-0).

Few came with Lemont on offense, even though Nagel threw two interceptions and Jake Kirkman fumbled.

That’s because Nagel (8 of 13, 185 yards) also threw a pair of touchdown passes, a 71-yarder to brother Austin and a 25-yarder to Bret Bolin. Kirkman (15 carries, 103 yards), Anthony Martin (20 carries, 120 yards) and Steve Fleming ran for touchdowns of 24, 30 and 5 yards, respectively.

“We came back,” Spencer Nagel said.

“We can play a hundred times better.

We made too many mistakes. The interceptions, I blame myself for that. I was

When he was on target, his receivers caught the ball and took off. Oak Forest had no passing yards at all, and, aside from the big plays of Davis and Waitari Mason (a 70-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter), had only 103 yards on 33 carries, a 3.1 average.

Nathan Ascolani led the Indians’ defense with a pair of fumble recoveries.

Add in Gabe Berta’s timely interception of Dylan Henson on Oak Forest’s last gasp, and the Indians had little to fear, even though Oak Forest (5-5), which Lemont had shut out in the regular season, cut the gap to eight points on

Mason’s long run, a margin that didn’t move until Martin’s 30-yard gallop with 5:29 to play.

“We had to man up, honestly,” Martin said.

“You’ve got to keep thinking positive the whole time,” Ascolani said.

“We needed to be crisper on knowing what they’re doing. It’s making the right checks. We missed a check on the first touchdown they made. We didn’t miss it again.”

The Spencer Nagel-to-Austin Nagel combination, their eighth of the season, put the first Indians’ touchdown on the board, a 71-yard score that evened the game at 7-all with 6:43 left in the first quarter. Spencer Nagel hit Bret Bolin for a 25-yard score with 90 seconds left in the first, and it became 21-7 on Kirkman’s 24-yard rush over the right side 2:11 into the second.

It wasn’t over yet, but eventually Kooi could relax.

“I’ve been uneasy all week long,” Kooi said. “Spencer probably got that from me.”

ROUND 1: CLASS 7A FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: NO. 19 LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 50, NO. 14 REAVIS 20

Lincoln-Way Central runs past Reavis, into second round

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent BURBANK – With 5:32 left in the first quarter of Friday night’s Class 7A first-round playoff game, Reavis scored on quarterback Bailey Boyd’s 4-yard run.

No problem for Lincoln-Way Central. The Knights outscored the Rams 50-13, over the next 42 minutes to win, 50-20. They will host undefeated Rolling Meadows (10-0) next weekend.

The outstanding Lincoln-Way Central marching band and the Knightmare student section filled the visitors’ side Friday. The Knightmare on 77th Street was witnessed by more Knights’ fans than Rams’ fans.

Behind the offensive line of Mario Rodrigues, Eric Hypke, Danny Jones, Nolan Nelson and Joe Fulkerson, Cen-

tral rushed for 336 yards. Quarterback Hunter Campbell fired an 18-yard scoring strike to Matt Pollack and Dimitri Sereleas’ conversion tied it, 7-7, with 2:10 left in the first quarter.

With 5:48 left in the half, Pollack (eight carries, 120 yards), ran 11 yards for his second score. With 4:16 left in the half, Nico Muto (10 carries, 72 yards) rumbled in from the 12 and added a two-point-conversion, running over three Ram defenders, for a 22-7 halftime lead.

“We take extreme pride in doing our job for our team,” Rodrigues said.

“This is a huge win, and we look forward to going home next week and taking on undefeated Rolling Meadows.”

“This was a huge win,” Muto said.

“We owe all our success to our offensive line, who were all outstanding tonight. We are really looking forward to

the challenge of handing Rolling Meadows their first loss.”

With 9:15 in the third quarter, Mike Morgan (six carries, 34 yards) scored the first of his two touchdowns from 7 yards out and with another Muto twopoint play, the Knights led, 30-8. After a Reavis score, Morgan scored from 6 yards out for a 36-14 lead after three quarters.

“It felt great to score the two touchdowns, but as everyone else has said, we owe all our success to our O-line,” Morgan said.

“I echo what Nico [Muto] and Mike [Morgan] said,” Hosman said. “Our offensive line was amazing. We all are really looking forward to facing Rolling Meadows.”

On the first play of the fourth quarter, Campbell (2 of 2, 61 yards) completed his second pass, a picture-perfect 43-

yard scoring strike to John Hall. Matt Gossage ran 19 yards to complete the scoring.

“This one was huge,” Pollack said.

“We haven’t won a playoff game in a while, and now we can go home, in front of our fans, in Round 2.”

Reavis’ Boyd completed 18 of 36 passes for 274 yards and two touchdowns. Brantrell Seymore had nine receptions for 119, Davonta Wilson four for 123. Peyton Nigro and Mike Cepolski led a Knights’ defense that held Reavis to 44 yards rushing. Cepolski added an interception.

“This was a great effort by our team,” Lincoln-Way Central coach Jeremy Cordell said. “Our offensive line and our backs were outstanding – 336 yards rushing is very impressive. After the first Reavis series, our defense really stepped up and shut them down.”

Plainfield North’s TJ Kane runs the ball on Saturday against Highland Park in the Class 7A first-round playoff game at Plainfield North High School. Plainfield won, 42-0. sions and led, 28-0, at halftime. To that point, the Tigers sported a 282-25 edge in total yards and a 15-1 advantage in first downs. Highland Park (7-3), the 17th seed while North is No. 16, never was in the game.

Kevin Block’s 38-yard punt return to the Giants’ 14 set up Hoosman’s 14-yard scoring run to open the third quarter, and the SportsCenter-worthy somersault that made it 42-0 came on

the subsequent possession with 4:12 left in the quarter. So the final 16 minutes flew by.

“We got off to a good start in the first half,” Kane said. “Our offensive line did a real nice job in the protection and run-blocking phases, and Tyler [Hoosman] ran hard. No doubt this was a great playoff victory, the first time winning and first time at home.

I’m happy for these kids.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: TRINITY INTERNATIONAL 35, USF 33

Blocked FG leads Trinity International past University of St. Francis SUBMITTED REPORT DEERFIELD – A blocked field-goal attempt with eight seconds left preserved Trinity International’s 35-33 win over the University of St. Francis in Mid-States Football Association Midwest League play Saturday. USF (4-5, 1-3) suffered its first loss in four games while Trinity (2-7, 1-4) snapped a six-game losing streak.

Down 35-33, USF started its final drive at its own 22-yard line with 4:29 remaining. With backup quarterback

sophomore Alex Alarcon engineering the offense, the Saints advanced to the Trojans’ 14-yard line on 12 plays to set up the potential game-winning field goal. But TIU’s Riley Schussler blocked the kick.

Trailing for all but a four-minute stretch during the second quarter, USF entered the final stanza down 2819. An Alarcon 1-yard plunge on the Saints’ first possession of the quarter made it a 28-26 game.

USF went 75 yards on 12 plays, capped by a 10-yard scoring strike

from Alarcon to freshman Re’John Williams midway through the quarter to account for the final scoring.

A pair of Grayson Barnette field goals – a 25-yarder late in the first quarter and a 38-yard effort early in the second period – cut the Trojans’ lead to 7-6.

USF took its only lead of the game, 13-7, when defensive end Alex Zlomie entered the game in the backfield and scored his first career touchdown on a 2-yard run with just under five minutes left in the second quarter.

USF scored its only points of the third quarter when Alarcon found sophomore Brandon Ruffin in the corner of the end zone from 31 yards out.

Alarcon, who entered the game in the second quarter in relief of junior starter Don Butkus, completed 17 of 24 attempts for 209 yards and two TDs without an interception.

Ruffin caught five passes for 114 yards and one score. Freshman Michael Johnson rushed for 110 yards on 17 carries.

PLAINFIELD – Everyone wearing a Highland Park jersey was well aware what Plainfield North running back Tyler Hoosman can do on a football field.

They may not have known about that giant “S” on his chest, however.

Hoosman added the exclamation point during Saturday afternoon’s Class 7A first-round playoff game, performing his Superman impression as he leaped and somersaulted over a Giants’ defender to get into the end zone and click on the running clock as North rolled to a 42-0 victory. That marked the first playoff win in the first postseason home game for the Tigers, who had been 0-5 in playoff games.

Hoosman took a pass in the flat from Brady Miller and turned on the jets down the sideline. A long jumper in track, his instincts took over as he completed an 18-yard scoring play for his third touchdown. He rushed for 138 yards in 21 carries and caught three passes for 43.

“I had to do something to get in the end zone,” Hoosman explained.

“That was the second one that I’ve had like that this year. The other one was against Minooka, where I had to leap over a guy to score. But this one was the highest and biggest.”

“I sure did teach him that,” North coach Tim Kane joked. “He still hasn’t gotten as high as me. But, no, he deserves everything that comes his way.”

That is being said of all the Tigers (8-2), who will visit Bradley (10-0), the No. 1 seed in 7A, next weekend. Saturday’s shellacking was as close to textbook performance as a playoff team can produce.

For example, North drove to touchdowns on four of its first five posses-

Kane’s son, TJ Kane, turned a pass over the middle from Miller into a beautiful 34-yard catch-and-run scoring play to get North on the board with 9:38 left in the first quarter. The Tigers marched 64 yards in their next possession, with Hoosman scoring from the 1 for a 14-0 lead.

Then it was speedy Dillon McCarthy’s turn. He took a pitchout and raced 27 yards around right end to make it 21-0 on the first play of the second quarter. The first-half onslaught ended with Miller’s 15-yard strike to a wide-open Connor Peplow.

Miller finished 12 of 18 for 185 yards and three scores. Kane, McCarthy and Peplow joined Hoosman with three receptions each. Peplow converted all six extra-point kicks.

“We have a lot of weapons on offense, and Dillon McCarthy is one of them,” Hoosman said. “He is helping me a lot, the way he spells me.”

On the other side of the ball, North pitched its fourth shutout in the last five games. The Tigers have allowed seven points total in that span.

Saturday’s shutout almost didn’t happen. In the second half, McCarthy, a regular at safety, caught up to Highland Park receiver D.J. Westbrook at the 1-yard line, on the tail end of a 45yard pass play. He managed to strip the ball, and it rolled into the end zone and out of bounds for a touchback.

Before the running clock clicked on late in the third quarter, Highland Park had mustered 60 total yards, and 31 of them came on one pass play early in the third quarter. Block, a cover corner supreme, tightly defended or broke up passes virtually every time the Giants dared throw in his direction.

“That our motto – they don’t score and we don’t lose,” TJ Kane said.

“With our defense, they don’t score very often.”

40 CROSS COUNTRY: MARIST SECTIONAL

Lockport, Plainfield North girls qualify for state

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com MIDLOTHIAN – While it’s become pretty much a fall tradition for Lockport’s girls cross country teams to qualify for a trip to state, the four Plainfield schools have been frustrated by their inability to advance to the finals in Peoria.

In Saturday’s Class 3A Marist Sectional at Midlothian Meadows, the Porters once again punched their ticket for an appearance at Detweiller Park. And they’ll have company there next weekend as Plainfield North moved on to state for the first time in school history.

Lockport just missed finishing in second place while Plainfield North settled for fifth to earn two of the five available qualifying spots, in addition to an individual who advanced. In the boys sectional, no squads moved on, but four individuals will be headed to Peoria.

Downers Grove South scored 69 points to easily win the girls title. Lyons Township and Lockport both tied with 101, but the Lions took second place since their sixth-runner finished one spot better than her Porters counterpart. Hinsdale Central (114) and Plainfield North (136) were the other qualifiers.

The area had four individual who finished among the top-nine placers.

“I knew that my teammates would be right there next to me and we were all there with each other in the first mile. After that, it pretty much went how I expected it to and I just left it all out there.”

Morgan Bollinger Lockport cross county

Lockport’s Morgan Bollinger (17:52) was fourth, Plainfield North’s Juliana Stogsdill (17:56) was sixth and Megan Patton (18:04) took eighth while Plainfield South’s Greta Carlberg (18:07) finished ninth.

Lockport advanced to state for the eighth straight year and is making its 20th appearance in the last 23 seasons.

Joining Bollinger in the Porters’s top-five were Madison Polinski (13th, 18:15), Karlee Stortz (19th, 18:22), Alexandra Skibicki (32nd, 19:03) and Aubrey Friedrich (33rd, 19:05). This will be the fourth-straight state trips for Bollinger and Stortz.

“I knew that my teammates would be right there next to me and we were all there with each other in the first mile,” Bollinger said. “After that, it pretty much went how I expected it to

and I just left it all out there.

“The team looked so great. After I finished, I saw them all coming in one after another. I’m super proud of them since they all had great races. Usually the sectional race is super cold but today was the most-perfect weather that you could possibly have.”

Beside returning state qualifiers Stogsdill and Patton, Tigers coach Tammy Gummerson counted on Brittany Drag (40th, 19:20), Emily Bedford (41st, 19:21) and Lauren Super (44th, 19:23) in her top-five.

“The team couldn’t be happier for the way that the outcome turned out,” Stogsdill said. “Our whole team looked great today. It was a flat course and the weather was great and that helped a lot. This was my first time running at this course and it was pretty nice.

This will be something that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.”

After taking seventh place and failing to qualify by eight points a year ago, the Tigers were thrilled to make history this season.

“There were no hills, unlike last week, so I think it was a better course for me and the rest of our team,” Patton said. “My race felt really good and Juliana looked good. I didn’t see the rest of our girls, but from what I heard after they finished, they all ran good races. Juliana and I both pushed each other. And it was perfect weather, so you couldn’t ask for much more.”

Carlberg also found her way into the top-10 to assure the senior of a repeat state trip. She was the only area individual who advanced. Her teammate, Alexis Grigg, was hoping to get to state for a fourth time but took 26th in 18:41. Another top area finisher was Bolingbrook’s Madison Shroda, who placed 28th in 18:57.

“It’s so exciting to finish my senior year strong,” Carlberg said. “I didn’t want this to be final race since I wanted to keep going. Early in the race, one of my teammates’ dads told me I was 17th, so I knew that I had to pick it up.

It was beautiful out there. Last year at sectionals it was rainy and awful, so it was a very mental race. This year I just had to go out and run.”

In the boys race, Plainfield South took sixth with 151 points, finishing behind Sandburg (127) and Oak Park and River Forest (128). Downers Grove North won the title with 54 points.

Four area runners, including three from Plainfield North who ran at state a year ago, moved on. They are Plainfield South’s Stephen Merriweather (19th, 15:35) and Plainfield North’s Omar Paramo (24th, 15:42), Ben Otstott (26th, 15:44) and Ethan Prior (28th, 15:47).

Other top area runners were Plainfield South’s Timmy Wade (34th, 15:51), Christian Knowlton (37th, 15:53) and Andrew Nunez (39th, 15:54) and Plainfield East’s Emmanuel Angomas (44th, 16:02).

CROSS COUNTRY: EDWARDSVILLE SECTIONAL

Minooka girls and boys teams sweep, win individual titles

By JEFF DeGRAW

Shaw Media correspondent EDWARDSVILLE – Several Joliet-area cross country teams made the long bus trip to the Class 3A Edwardsville Sectional meet on Saturday and had to deal with temperatures in the 80s, but the trip home for two schools became a lot shorter.

Minooka claimed both the girls and boys championships, along with having the individual winners.

In the girls race, the Indians scored just 24 points to outdistance Yorkville (36). It was Minooka’s fourth consecutive sectional title. Lincoln-Way East beat Lincoln-Way Central, 154-156, to grab the fifth and final team qualifying spot.

The state finals will be next Saturday at Detweiler Park in Peoria.

Lincoln-Way West (225) was eighth, Joliet West (265) took ninth and Joliet

Central was 13th.

Minooka took the top four places as senior Mackenzie Callahan won and also set a new course record in 17:55, breaking the old course record of 18:13 over the three-mile course at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville.

“I just wanted to stay with the pack and then go,” Callahan said. “It was based on more of how I felt than any particular time on the course. I felt pretty good today.”

She was followed by Ashley Tutt (18:27), Emily Shelton (18:37) and Vivian Van Eck (18:39). Sarah Weed (19:51) placed 14th to round out the scoring.

The Griffins were led by Jenna Couwenhoven (19:29), who placed 11th overall. She was followed by Olivia Jacobs (29th), Jordan Jacobucci (32nd), Makenna Hamilton (34th) and Rachel Troeger (48th).

Earning spots as individuals for next week’s state finals were Lin-

coln-Way Central’s Mackenzie Brownrigg (16th), Joliet West’s Maddie Blaauw (17th) and Lincoln-Way West teammates Jenna Diers (21st) and Teagan Lyke (23rd).

On the boys side, Minooka won its second consecutive title by an 89-96 margin over O’Fallon. Lincoln-Way East placed fourth with 111 points to also qualify.

Lincoln-Way West (187) was seventh, Lincoln-Way Central (194) placed eighth and Joliet Central (254) finished 10th.

Minooka’s Soren Knudsen continued his stellar senior season by running 15:48 for the win.

“Today, I did what I needed to win,” Knudsen said. “I ran pretty hard last week at regionals and next week at state will be a maximum effort. We are ecstatic to win this as a team, it’s pretty special.”

Lincoln-Way West’s Evan Mitch-

ell claimed the runner-up spot (16:07) and qualified as an individual. Lincoln-Way East’s Noah Healy (16:09) finished third.

Behind Knudsen, Minooka placed Mark Dames (17th), Matthew Mason (18th), Jack Sullivan (22nd) and Cody Hoshell (33rd).

East had Scott Platek (8th), Brett Gardner (9th), Mike Trost (38th) and Will Evans (53rd).

In addition to Mitchell, West will be represented at the finals by John Stiglic (13th) and Ryan Taylor (20th) as the area’s individual qualifiers.

“Today was a testament to the work both teams have done, not only this season, but over the summer,” Minooka coach Kevin Gummerson said. “I can tell you, every person on both teams has had to deal with some type of adversity this season. This is great and it will be a short bus ride home today and a great trip to Peoria next weekend.”

2 Indians lead series, 3-1

Kluber, Indians beat Cubs, lead World Series, 3-1

By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press

• Sunday, October 30, 2016

CHICAGO – One more win and baseball fans everywhere might finally believe in these Cleveland Indians.

That’s all it will take for Corey Kluber & Co. to clinch this World Series.

Kluber pitched six sparkling innings on short rest for another win, Jason Kipnis hit a three-run homer in his hometown and the Indians beat the Cubs, 7-2, Saturday night to take a 3-1 lead.

Carlos Santana also connected for the first of his three hits as Cleveland moved closer to its first championship since 1948. Trevor Bauer gets the ball Sunday night at Wrigley Field in Game 5 when the Indians try for the franchise’s third World Series title against Jon Lester and the faltering Cubs.

“I think we like the position we’re in, but the task isn’t done yet,” Kluber said. “We still have one more game to win, and we’re going to show up tomorrow and play with the same sense of urgency we’ve played with until this point. We don’t want to let them build up any momentum and let them get back in the series.”

Still, not bad for a team that seemed like an underdog all year long. Manager Terry Francona’s club beat the defending champion Royals and star-studded Tigers for the AL Central title, and then eliminated David Ortiz and the Red Sox and the heavy-hitting Blue Jays on their way to the AL pennant.

Then much of the talk centered on the major league-leading Cubs and their 108-year championship drought.

But it’s been mostly Indians once more as they moved to 10-2 in this postseason. They did it with Francona pushing all the right buttons while he improved to 11-1 in the World Series.

The Indians now will try to bring another crown to Cleveland, adding to the one LeBron James and the Cavaliers earned earlier this year.

Dexter Fowler doubled and scored in the first for the Cubs, and then homered against Andrew Miller in the eighth. Fowler’s drive to left-center was the first homer for the Cubs in the World Series since Phil Cavaretta connected in Game 1 in 1945 and the first run allowed by Miller during his dominant postseason.

In between Fowler’s two hits, the

The Cubs’ Willson Contreras reacts on Saturday after striking out during the first inning of Game 4 of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians at Wrigley Field.

Cubs came up empty every time they had a chance to put any pressure on Cleveland.

The Indians won for the second straight day at Wrigley – those two wins matched the Cubs’ entire total of World Series victories in more than a century of playing at their famed ballpark.

Pitching on three days’ rest for the second time, Kluber allowed five hits, struck out six and walked one. The steady, stoic right-hander, who struck out nine in a dominant performance in Game 1, improved to 4-1 with a 0.89 ERA in five playoff starts this year.

Francona put Santana at first after starting him in left in Game 3, and Mike Napoli was out of the starting lineup for the time in the playoffs.

And just like the rest of October, the

decision worked out quite well for Francona and the Indians.

Santana led off the second with a drive to right against John Lackey, tying it at 1. Santana’s third homer of the playoffs silenced the crowd of 41,706 at Wrigley Field, and the Indians seized the momentum from there.

Two throwing errors on Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, including one on Kluber’s infield single, led to an unearned run that put Cleveland ahead to stay. Francisco Lindor singled in Kipnis in the third, Lonnie Chisenhall added a sacrifice fly in the sixth and Kipnis’ second playoff homer made it 7-1 in the seventh.

Kipnis, who is from Northbrook and grew up a Cubs fan, finished with three hits and scored two runs.

Stepping up: Cubs right fielder Ja-

son Heyward made his first start of the World Series and responded with two hits. The 27-year-old Heyward, who signed a $184 million, eight-year contract with the Cubs last winter, was just 2 for 31 in 12 playoff games coming into the night.

Up next: Indians: Bauer lasted just 32/3 innings in Game 2, allowing two runs and six hits. The right-hander had a career-best 12 wins during the regular season, but is 0-1 with a 5.00 ERA in three playoff starts.

Cubs: Lester dropped to 3-1 with a 1.35 ERA in four career World Series starts when he allowed three runs in 52/3 innings in the opener Tuesday night. The left-hander was the coMVP of the NL Championship Series, going 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts against the Dodgers.

42 COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NOTRE DAME 30, MIAMI 27

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: MINNESOTA 40, ILLINOIS 17

Yoon’s 23-yard FG gives Irish win Opportunistic Minnesota beats Illinois

By TOM COYNE

The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Justin Yoon kicked a 23-field goal with 30 seconds left to give Notre Dame a 30-27 victory over Miami on Saturday as the Fighting Irish survived squandering a 20-point lead to end a three-game home losing streak.

The Irish (3-5), who had lost all five games by single digits, were on the brink of losing again when Miami’s Michael Jackson recovered a botched punt in the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown with 6:49 left.

But the Irish tied it up less than a minute later when on third-and-1 Josh Adams bounced out of the pile and raced in for a 41-yard touchdown.

It was the fourth straight loss for Miami (4-4), which fell to 1-9 at Notre Dame Stadium.

Notre Dame outgained Miami 1432 in total yards in jumping to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and extended the lead to 20-0 early in the second quarter.

But the momentum began to switch when Travis Homer recovered a punt after it bounced off Notre Dame’s Tony Pride Jr. and the Hur-

ricanes scored four plays later on a 2-yard pass to David Njoku.

Brad Kaaya completed 26 of 42 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns with one interception for Miami. Stacey Coley had seven catches for 81 yards.

Michael Badgely kicked field goals of 43 and 38 to tie the score at 20-20 early in the fourth quarter.

DeShone Kizer completed 25 of 38 passes for 263 yards and one touchdown for Notre Dame. He also recovered an Irish fumble at the 1-yard line late in the fourth quarter to allow Yoon to get the game-winning kick.

The Takeaway: Notre Dame: The Irish finally had a game where their offense and defense played well but still struggled with special team gaffes. The Irish had six sacks through seven games but had five against Miami.

Up next: Miami: The Hurricanes return to Atlantic Coast Conference play against Pittsburgh, a team it has beaten nine of the past 10 games.

Notre Dame: The Irish face Navy in Jacksonville, Florida, a team it has beaten five straight after losing two of the previous three.

CHAMPAIGN – On a windy Illinois afternoon that made passing an adventure, Minnesota knew it would need to run the ball if it wanted to pocket a win.

But the Golden Gophers figured they might have to run a little farther than they did to beat the Illinois.

A pair of early Illinois turnovers and a short punt gave Minnesota the ball at the Illinois 49-, 20- and 9-yard lines, and the Gophers turned each into a touchdown on the way to a 40-17 win.

Rodney Smith did the bulk of the damage, rushing for 100 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. Shannon Brooks added 59 yards and a score on a dozen carries. Smith’s first touchdown was a 20-yard burst up the middle with 2:16 left in the first quarter, giving Minnesota (6-2, 3-2 Big Ten) the lead for good at 14-7. It followed a fumbled punt by Illinois’ Darius Mosely, recovered by Antione Winfield Jr. at the 20.

“We love to see that because we’re pretty good in the red zone,” said Brooks, who added that those turnovers built momentum for Minnesota and robbed Illinois of energy. “Yeah, definitely. That’s a stab, a stab in the

back. That hurts.”

The turnovers, Illinois coach Lovie Smith said, swung the game hard and early for Minnesota.

“It’s hard to win the football game when you start like that,” Smith said.

“Those turnovers put us in a hole.”

Jeff George Jr., Illinois’ (2-6, 1-4) third-string quarterback and the son of Illini legend and longtime NFL quarterback Jeff George, started his second straight game and went 16-34 for 156 yards and a touchdown.

Illinois starter Wes Lunt suited up but sat out his third straight game with a back injury. Second-string quarterback Chayce Crouch, who injured a shoulder in a win over Rutgers two weeks ago, is out for the season after having surgery Monday, Smith confirmed.

Illinois receiver Malik Turner left the field on a stretcher in the first half after a hit by Minnesota safety Duke McGhee. Turner was taken to a local hospital but was back in the locker room before the end of the game, Smith said, though further information about his injury was not available.

“It was terrifying. It was emotional, especially with a kid like that who works so hard, to see a tragic injury like that,” Smith said.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: BIG 10 ROUNDUP

No. 6 Ohio State avoids upset, holds on to beat Northwestern, 24-20

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The problems that have bogged down Ohio State’s offense put the Buckeyes in a bind again. J.T. Barrett and Ohio State did enough in the fourth quarter against Northwestern to avoid a second consecutive upset loss.

Curtis Samuel ran for a 3-yard touchdown with 9:43 left to give No. 6 Ohio State a lead, and Barrett converted two third downs on the game-sealing drive in a 24-20 victory Saturday.

After being upset by Penn State last week, the Buckeyes’ offense struggled against another multi-touchdown underdog. Ohio State (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) punted on five straight drives in one stretch, but responded to Northwestern tying it at 17 with a touchdown drive, capped by Samuel’s run.

Northwestern (4-4, 3-2) then got to the Ohio State 3, but settled for a 33yard Jack Mitchell field goal to close to 24-20 with 3:31 left. The Buckeyes mounted a final clock-eating drive.

Barrett hit Noah Brown for 16 yards on third-and-8 and then took off on a 35-yard run to convert a third-and-10 and put the Buckeyes in the clear.

“It was a pretty good chess match back and forth, and I just loved the

way we finished it off,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said.

No. 2 Michigan 32, Michigan St. 23: At East Lansing, Michigan, all Michigan needed was an exclamation point – a final flourish that would add a little extra satisfaction to this big victory on a rival’s home field.

When Michigan State fumbled while attempting a puzzling 2-point conversion with 1 second left, Jabrill Peppers scooped up the loose ball and ran all the way to the end zone. Then the celebration really began.

The defensive conversion by Peppers capped a 32-23 victory for the second-ranked Wolverines, who beat the skidding Spartans for only the second time in the last nine meetings. Peppers also scored a touchdown in the first quarter, and when the game’s last second finally ticked off, he did a triumphant backflip for good measure.

Amara Darboh caught eight passes for a career-high 165 yards, and De’Veon Smith ran for two touchdowns for Michigan.

The Wolverines (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) scored every time they had the ball in the first half, sending the Spartans

(2-6, 0-5) to their sixth straight loss.

Michigan avenged last year’s loss to Michigan State, in which the Spartans scored the winning touchdown on the final play when the Wolverines botched a punt.

Penn St. 62, Purdue 24: At West LaFayette, Indiana, Penn State crossed several items off its to-do list Saturday in becoming bowl eligible, staying within a game of first place in the Big Ten East and ending a seven-game road losing streak.

Saquon Barkley ran for 207 yards and two touchdowns, Trace McSorley threw three scoring passes, and the Nittany Lions used a 24-point third quarter as the centerpiece of their 6224 victory against Purdue.

The Nittany Lions (6-2, 4-1 in the Big Ten) converted an interception, a fumbled punt and a failed onside kick into third-quarter touchdowns on their way to a fourth consecutive victory, They snapped the seven-game road slide that began in 2014, and defeated struggling Purdue for an eighth consecutive time.

Penn State’s 62 points are the most scored by an opponent in Ross-Ade

Stadium, which was completed in 1924. Ohio State’s 56-0 victory against Purdue in 2013 was the record.

Indiana 42, Maryland 36: At Bloomington, Indiana, Indiana Hoosiers coach Kevin Wilson finally figured out how to get his offense in sync.

He shuffled his best players in and out of Saturday’s game, got the ball into his playmakers’ hands and just let them go to work.

The result: Three players topped the 100-yard mark, five players scored on touchdown runs and the Hoosiers’ got back into the bowl hunt with a 4236 victory over Maryland.

The bottom line is it worked – and if Indiana (4-4, 2-3 Big Ten) can keep it rolling, the Hoosiers could be headed to a second straight bowl game for the first time since 1990 and 1991.

Devine Redding ran for 130 yards and one score. Tyler Natee, the 270-pound freshman running back, ran 18 times for a career-high 111 yards and a TD. And Diamont, the backup quarterback had 11 carries for 104 yards and two scores as Indiana snapped a three-game losing streak.

BULLS 118, PACERS 101

Butler, Wade, Rondo lead Bulls to win

By JOHN JACKSON

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Doug McDermott had 23 points, Jimmy Butler added 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting and Rajon Rondo had 13 assists to lead the Bulls to a 118-101 rout of the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night, Chicago’s second straight victory to open the season.

McDermott scored 11 points in the fourth quarter as coach Fred Hoiberg gave his veteran starters – Butler, Rondo and Dwyane Wade, who had 14 points – the rest of the night off after the third quarter.

Taj Gibson had 12 points and eight rebounds, and Robin Lopez added 12 points for the Bulls.

Paul George and Myles Turner had 20 points apiece to lead the Pacers (1-2).

The Bulls had a 24-20 lead at the end of the first quarter before breaking

things open with a dominant second.

They scored 38 points on 14-for-18 (77.8 percent) shooting in the quarter to race out to a 62-41 halftime lead.

Indiana seemingly sleep-walked on defense throughout much of the second quarter – especially in transition, where the Bulls had a 19-0 edge in fastbreak points. McDermott had seven points in seven minutes, and five players scored at least five points. Rondo added six assists.

Through three games, the Pacers have been outscored by a total of 33 points in the second quarter.

The Bulls maintained their intensity in the third quarter and stretched the lead to 92-67 entering the fourth.

The Bulls led by as many as 29 points in the final quarter (102-73) before Indiana made a futile run in garbage time to trim the deficit to 112-101 with two minutes to play.

IT’S NOT GOING TO BE OK

Real estate search firm says Illinois can’t stand up to a zombie attack

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

A

re you prepared for a zombie apocalypse?

Well, according to a study by Estately, a real estate search company based in Seattle, Washington, it doesn’t much matter. Illinois is No. 47 on Estately’s list of “U.S. States Ranked from Most to Least Likely to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse.”

Ryan Nickum, Estately’s marketing manager, predicts a grim outcome for anyone remaining in Illinois should zombies attack.

“Your best bet is to flee west to more rural mountain states or even head north to Wisconsin,” Nickum said.

Wisconsin ranked well – No. 15 – in terms of overall physical fitness, a surprise to Nickum, he said. Illinois did poorly in physical fitness (No. 34) but then, Illinois didn’t fare well in any of the criteria Estately measured.

Criteria included gun ownership (No. 44), people per square mile (No. 39), people choosing cremation over burial (No. 30) and knowledge of the zombie genre through movies and video games (No. 30).

This last is particularly troublesome, but Nickum had a solid explanation for it.

“Maybe people in Illinois have better things to do with their time than focus on things that aren’t real,” Nickum said.

In compiling the information, Nickum said Estately used a variety of sources, such as the 2014 report from the U.S. Census Bureau, a national study on the effects of obesity and records from the National Funeral Directors Association.

Washington ranked No. 18 overall, far better than Illinois, but Nickum isn’t hanging around if zombies attack his state. British Columbia in Canada is reputedly a safer location, according to Estately’s findings.

“I’d just hop on a ferry and head up north,” Nickum said.

The zombie study is just one of several whimsical pieces Estately has compiled. Because Estately is in the business of helping people across the country find the best home to buy, Nickum said the company occasionally weaves some whimsical blogs among those that deal with the cost of living.

People dressed in rags and ghoulish makeup attend the annual Zombie Walk in Mexico City on Oct. 22.

Want to see how Illinois fares in other topics? Nickum suggests “You Won’t Believe the Questions Each State Googles” at http://shawurl. com/2wqe and “How-To Questions Each State Googles More Than Others” at http://shawurl.com/2wqf.

Local perspective on zombie apocalypse survival

Joliet-area residents offered their own opinions of Estately’s findings.

John Quinn of Morris, author of the (as of yet) unpublished novel, “How We Survived Year One,” disagrees that Illinois is doomed in a zombie apocalypse – as long as one seeks refuge south of Interstate 80.

“There’s more people who are into hunting, more survivalists,” Quinn said. “You have a lot of people who enjoy camping on the weekend. People that, if times got tough, could survive.

They don’t need Starbucks and fast food.”

South of Interstate 80 is also more rural, another advantage in a zombie

“The Klens are from the east side and they’re a tough lot.

They would never have any problems with zombies. They would have had the zombies over for a beer.”

Sue Klen

Fourth-generation Joliet resident attack, Quinn said. People aren’t “on top of each other.”

“In the case of my dad, if his neighbor becomes infected, he’s miles away,” Quinn said. “It would take him a while to get there.”

Stephen Tuplin of Joliet, freelance videographer and fan of zombie lore, said it’s important to define “zombie.”

For instance, zombies portrayed in the television series “The Walking Dead” don’t possess the strength and

speed of zombies in “28 Days Later,” giving people more time to plan their defense.

Still, Tuplin believes zombies could quickly trap a well-populated area like Joliet, so he’s with Quinn. South of Interstate 80 is where Tuplin would go.

“You want to put as much space between you and zombies as possible,” Tuplin said.

Sue Klen of Joliet disagreed with everyone. A fourth-generation Jolietan, Klen said Joliet residents are community-minded, accepting people. They would simply befriend the zombies.

“The Klens are from the east side and they’re a tough lot. They would never have any problems with zombies” Klen said. “They would have had the zombies over for a beer.”

Klen waved away the reminders that zombies, well, eat people.

“Just take them to White Castle,” Klen said, “and get them hooked on sliders.”

Each year Salvatore Perry (far right) invites the public to wander through his elaborate Halloween display. Any donations Perry receives are donated to Bags of Hope in Lockport. set up a big tent on Halloween last year and popped popcorn and made candy apples.”

The first year Perry opened his lawn to the public, he collected money and goods for a woman’s shelter. The second year and succeeding years, Perry raised money for Creekside Cares, which was a nonprofit organization be-

gun by a Plainfield educator.

The program discreetly supplied food for low-income children by placing items in their backpacks. Creekside Cares has since been absorbed by the Lockport-based Bags of Hope.

Perry is so dedicated to the cause, he takes vacation time during the week before Halloween just to run the fund-

raiser.

“I just hope we make a dent in helping some of these kids,” Perry said.

Lana Howe, chairwoman of Bags of Hope, said Perry’s event is very helpful and she greatly appreciates their efforts.

“It’s awesome,” Howe said. “They do such a great job every year, and every year it’s better and better.”

Bags of Hope currently serves 211 low-income children in Joliet, Lockport and Plainfield, Howe said. Although the items are non-perishable, the organization tries to ensure each child receives a balanced diet.

And if the program didn’t exist?

“Well, they’d be hungry, for starters,” Howe said.

Typical foods a child receives include canned fruits and vegetables, protein such as peanut butter and tuna, canned pasta meals, soups, and oatmeal and other cereals.

Portions are based on family size, in order to feed all the members, Howe said. The families are experts at making the donated food stretch for those meals their children don’t eat at school, especially weekend meals.

“I know it’s helping them come to school ready to learn,” Howe said. “If their tummies are growling, they can’t focus on their schoolwork.”

Trinity Services executive director receives award The HERALD–NEWS NEW LENOX – Swami Vivekananda, an Indian Hindu monk, was known for his commitment to service to others. Trinity Services Executive Director Art Dykstra was recently honored with an award in the revered Swami’s name for a similar commitment.

At the Vivekananda Vedanta Society of Chicago’s Fall Banquet on Sept. 11 at The Meadows Club in Rolling Meadows, Dykstra was honored for his nearly 50 years of exceptional community services to persons with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and mental illness.

Dykstra was invited to speak at the event and inspired the crowd of approximately 350 attendees with his speech on servant leadership.

Dykstra has served as Trinity’s executive director since 1987, following a 20-year career with the Illinois Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities during which he served in a multitude of positions, including facility director for two state-operated developmental centers, Chicago regional administrator for developmental disabilities, and policy and program advisor to the director of the department.

Art Dykstra He has served as the president of the board at The Council on Quality and Leadership, past president of the Illinois Chapter of the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, the Illinois Council of Executive Directors of The Arc, and the Illinois Association of Reha-

bilitation Facilities.

Dykstra currently serves on the board of directors of the Community Services Foundation and Lifestyles Academy, and the Illinois Association of Rehabilitation Facilities. He also serves on the advisory committee to the Institute on Disability and Human Development, and Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities of the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is a fellow of the American Association on Intellectual and Development Disabilities.

Dykstra has received past awards and recognition from the IARF, Lewis University, the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, Bradley University, and the Autism Program of Illinois.

PLAINFIELD – When you build a dramatic Halloween display, people are sure to notice.

Even couples dressed like zombies about to say, “I do.”

“Last year, a wedding party got out and had their ceremony on the front lawn,” said Salvatore Perry, builder of the fundraising display. “They said, ‘Do you my mind if our minister blesses us?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, go for it.’ It was pouring rain outside.”

Each Halloween season Perry, a member of Chicago Haunt Builders, constructs an elaborate scene on his Plainfield front yard. Elements may include animatronics, special window lighting, motion-sensored items, fog, music – and perhaps a friendly clown or two wandering around, Perry said.

The community is encouraged to come and enjoy, for free, although Perry encourages visitors to donate to his cause, which is Bags of Hope in Lockport. Donations can be monetary or non-perishable food items.

“Last year, we raised close to $4,000 and I don’t know how many bags of food,” Perry said.

Although Perry has decorated his lawn for years, he never considered adding a charity element to the mix until six years ago, after a passerby asked for an up-close look – and then offered to donate.

“Most people spend five to 10 minutes checking it out,” Perry said. “We

Mild exercise can relieve back pain Dear Dr K: I have frequent back pain. I usually take acetaminophen (the Tylenol brand), but I hear it may not be effective for back pain. Is there anything to that?

Dear Reader: If you’d asked me that question even a year ago, I would have said, “Acetaminophen works fine for most people.” Lots of people are bothered by back pain. When it strikes, all you want is relief – and fast. Many folks turn to overthe-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin).

Most doctors I know would have shared my impression that acetaminophen works for back pain. I respect the opinions of seasoned doctors, but I also know there is no substitute for actually studying a question.

Indeed, a recent study has challenged my long-standing assumption about the value of acetaminophen for back pain.

Researchers wanted to know if acetaminophen shortened the time from the start of acute back pain (back pain that comes on suddenly) to complete relief.

What they found was surprising.

For people who used acetaminophen only when their back pain bothered them, it took about 17 days to get complete relief.

For those who took the medication three times a day, it also took about 17 days for full relief. And for those who took a placebo – a sugar pill with no medicine at all – the time to recovery was 16 days. In other words, the medication made no difference in how fast back pain went away and stayed away. In addition, all three groups had similar experiences in terms of the severity of their pain, disability and function.

Does this mean you shouldn’t bother to use acetaminophen for back pain? Not necessarily. Randomized studies like this can tell you the reaction of the average

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff person in the study. But people are all different. It may be that some people really do get good relief from acetaminophen, even if the average person doesn’t. So if it works for you, stick with it.

But acetaminophen does have its own risks and side effects. Taking too much acetaminophen seriously can damage the liver. Ideally, the average healthy adult shouldn’t take more than 3,000 milligrams a day.

The safest option is to try to get through the worst of your back pain without medication: • Use cold compresses or an ice pack, not heat, immediately after an injury. About 48 hours after back pain hits, heat may be more helpful. The warmth soothes and relaxes aching muscles.

• Try to keep moving. A limited amount of activity is better than lying in bed. Ask your doctor about appropriate exercises to start sooner rather than later. Exercise therapy can help heal acute back pain and help prevent a repeat episode.

• Chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture, massage or yoga provides relief for some people with acute back pain. Several studies support using these alternative/ complementary therapies.

Many people can relieve their back pain with these simple measures. If they don’t provide complete relief, then non-prescription NSAID medicines often will do the trick.

Cancer survivors dispute ‘PREvivor’s place at relay Dear Abby: This is in response to “Conflicted in California” (March 20), whose co-worker walks the “survivors’ lap” in Relay for Life events. Her co-worker is what we call a “PREvivor,” someone who took steps to lessen his or her chances of developing cancer. For other co-workers to belittle her for walking this lap is just plain mean. As a survivor, I have no problem with a previvor walking the lap. – Diane In New Hampshire Dear Diane: In your letter, you made reference to “previvors.” This is a term I was unfamiliar with. After doing some research, I found the following information on the site of Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE). It reads: “Cancer previvors are individuals who are survivors of a predisposition to cancer but haven’t had the disease.

The group includes people who carry a hereditary mutation, family history or

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips some other predisposing factor. ... The term specifically applies to the portion of our community that has its own unique needs and concerns separate from the general population, but different from those already diagnosed with cancer.”

Some of the letters my office received were vehemently against “Conflicted’s” co-worker participating in the survivors’ lap. Read on for more reader comments: Dear Abby: The co-worker walking the survivor lap is a fraud. I am a two-time cancer survivor currently going through a round of chemotherapy. I call foul!

She had a genetic threat of cancer, but has not had it. She hasn’t heard those

horrible words confirming her worst fears. She hasn’t felt the pain of a chemical cocktail shot into her veins, which can only be described as Drano mixed with napalm. She hasn’t watched her hair fall out or seen her skin burned and charred from treatment. She chose elective surgery based on genetic markers.

If she wants to participate in Relay for Life, there is a caregiver lap and other activities. She may have gone through pain and grief, but she is no survivor. –

Survivor In The South Dear Abby: It’s sad this has become

a case of whose cancer was worse and a judgment of who can or should walk the lap. Just let her walk. I once was invited to walk the survivor lap and a “friend” came up and asked me point blank, “Why are you here? You only had thyroid cancer, not breast cancer!”

contest, and I walked the lap. – Let It Be Dear Abby: How do I fight feelings of jealousy? I don’t want to sulk over what other people have and I don’t. I just want to live my life being unaffected by other people’s riches, fertility and happiness.

Any tips would be appreciated. – Jealous

In Colorado Dear Jealous: Nobody has everything

or a life that’s completely problem-free.

A way to minimize jealousy would be to be grateful for the positive things you do have going for you. Quietly list them in your mind before going to sleep at night, and again in the morning before getting out of bed. If you do, it will set the tone for your day and help you to keep the green-eyed monster at bay.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Push hard and don’t stop until you reach the finish line. You will be able to handle whatever situation you face if you gather facts and use them wisely. Let willpower and determination lead you to victory.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Stand tall and stand out. Your intensity and desire to get what you want will make you a tough competitor. If you focus on your goal, you will gain control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Getting together with someone from your past will lead to confusion or the need to question certain choices. You can’t change the past, but you can

alter the future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Money matters and personal responsibilities must be put in order before you can get on with your day and have some fun. Romance, relaxation and making physical improvements are encouraged.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You need to take better care of your health. Don’t try to do something that you aren’t equipped to handle.

Set reasonable goals, especially if they require physical endurance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – If you look for an op-

portunity, you will find one. Online job postings and former co-workers will lead to something that interests you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Trust in yourself and offer your honest opinion to someone looking for answers. A day trip, retreat or time spent with loved ones will be enlightening.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Learn through experience while trying something new. Volunteering for something will open your eyes to all sorts of possibilities and introduce you to someone you’ll want to get to know better.

research the perfect itinerary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Take the day to pamper yourself and make improvements that will boost your morale and get you in good shape for the upcoming week. Love and romance are highlighted.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – A day trip or a get-together with friends or relatives will open your eyes to new possibilities. If things aren’t going the way you want, you should make changes that will satisfy your needs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You’ll be torn between what you want to do and what you should do.

Take care of your responsibilities first in order to get greater joy and satisfaction from your day.

Jean Kerr, a humorist, author and playwright, said, “I think success has no rules, but you can learn a great deal from failure.”

In bridge, there are some rules that will lead to success -- or, in contrast, if they are ignored, you will learn from your failure. But the game remains popular because there are so many deals on which one can calculate that the usual rule does not work.

What is the key rule for South in today’s deal? He is in three no-trump, and West leads the spade six. (As a side issue, looking at all 52 cards, how must declarer play if West leads the heart jack?)

If South had bid two no-trump over his partner’s takeout double, it would have shown some 10 or 11 points. North, playing partner for six or seven points, cue-bid three spades, asking South to bid three no-trump with spades stopped.

After a spade lead, declarer sees five top tricks: two spades and three diamonds. He needs to establish three tricks in clubs and one in hearts. But that means losing the lead twice, presumably once to West and once to East.

With two stoppers in their suit and two high cards to dislodge, duck the first trick.

South takes the second spade and plays a club. West can win, but doesn’t have another spade to lead.

(Note that if declarer plays a heart at trick three, West should put up his jack. Then East should take dummy’s queen with his ace and return that suit, not a spade.)

On the heart-jack lead, South must play low from the dummy to get home.

The Boundary Agreement established the extraterritorial boundaries for the purposes of annexation between the two municipalities. The Boundary Agreement also established a jurisdictional boundary for the exercise of extraterritorial power over development in unincorporated areas within one and one-half miles of the Village's and the City's respective corporate boundaries. The Boundary Agreement established limits beyond which the City and Village would agree not to annex. The proposed extension of the Boundary Agreement is to be for 20 years.

Pursuant to the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/11-12-9), the City Council of the City of Lockport will conduct a public hearing on the proposed extension of the Boundary Agreement at its City Council meeting on December 7, 2016, at 7:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers on the third floor of the Central Square Building located at 222 East 9th Street, Lockport, Illinois, 60441. The public hearing is open to the public, and all members of the public in attendance will be given an opportunity to provide testimony on the proposed extended Boundary Agreement. The City Council is expected to take action on the proposed Boundary Agreement at its December 7th meeting or at a subsequent City Council meeting, and the City Council reserves the right to modify or otherwise change the proposed agreement after the public hearing is closed.

The proposed extended Boundary Agreement is available for public inspection in the Office of the City Clerk of the City of Lockport at 222 East 9th Street, Lockport, Illinois, 60441, during regular business hours. The proposed boundary line plat is also available for public inspection in the City Clerk's office.
