Joliet D-86 moving toward HVAC equipment purchase District wants to get failing system fixed before cold weather

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Facilities Committee of the Joliet Public Schools District 86 board was updated Wednesday on progress related to replacement of failing heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment at the district’s administrative center.

Tamara Mitchell, superintendent for business and financial services, said Thursday the district is working with an architect and various vendors to get specifications for the system so it can be ordered.

The board was informed in October of two options for replacing the unit.

Mitchell told the board that a variable air volume system had an estimated construction cost of $230,000. The other, the residential system, had an estimated construction cost of $150,000.

Mitchell said the district’s architect determined the residential system was not feasible in the space the district has.

On Oct. 12, the board approved a resolution that waived bidding requirements in order to replace the equipment.

The resolution drew many questions from the board in that meeting about fixing the HVAC system at the J.F. Kennedy Administrative Center and the process of ordering and installing a new unit.

The resolution authorized the district’s administration to secure quotation for the purchase and installation of replacement equipment using sound business practices and to enter an agreement for the purchase and installation of the equipment from responsible vendors.

The preamble to the resolution states

that the heat exchanger – part of the HVAC system – has failed, causing the system to be inoperable and resulting in loss of heating for a portion of the building.

It also states those issues constitute an emergency and following Illinois School Code, in the event of an emergency, a three-fourths vote of a school board can waive bidding requirements and approve expenses.

Superintendent Theresa Rouse said at the Oct. 12 meeting the district officials were under a time crunch to fix the HVAC system, and if the district ends up ordering equipment, it will take weeks for it to arrive. Rouse was not available for comment Thursday.

Mitchell said no members of the public spoke on the issue.

The district is also looking at replacing a portion of the roof at the KEEP Center. Mitchell said the district placed ads Thursday seeking bids for the project. The district may review bids Nov. 15, but if not, it will wait until December.

Gomez, who’d once lived in a trailer at the farm, attacked Salamie when he answered his door and stole $1,200, according to trial testimony.

Gomez was convicted of murder during a 2011 trial, but an appellate court decided he had not been given the proper warnings about representing himself and ordered a new trial.

The 55-year prison sentence Gomez received after his first trial is the maximum amount of time he could be sentenced to again.

Unlike in his first trial, jurors did not find Gomez guilty of home invasion this time.

Gomez also is serving a separate, 19year sentence for trying to hire the jail inmate to kill his ex.

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – What it was like to watch the Cubs win the World Series is something their fans might talk about the rest of their lives.

They certainly relished talking about it Thursday morning, only hours after a ridiculously dramatic Game 7 victory in extra innings.

“I dropped to the floor finally when they won,” said Susan Novak of Plainfield. “Me and my husband and my sister stood up and held each other through that last inning.”

“It was so stressful,” said Kim Gornik of Wilmington. “I really felt like I was going to pass out.”

Gornik and Novak were among a steady stream of Cubs fans going in and out of the Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Joliet, where the parking lot was so packed it looked like one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

“It’s like Black Friday today,” said Gary VanZuiden of Ottawa. “It’s crazy.”

His wife was in the store in lines that were taking as long as an hour, but in an environment that could be described as friendly confines.

“It’s nice to feel the ambience in there – all the Cubs fans. Everyone’s happy,” VanZuiden said.

He said the victory the night before “felt like the weight of the world come

Don Pratl (center) cheers for the Cubs on Wednesday at Heroes West in Joliet. off my shoulders.”

“I’m just so grateful that I lived to see it,” said Marianne Murphy of Plainfield.

Murphy, 76, said she has been a Cubs fan at least 70 years.

“I can remember my dad listening to the games on the radio,” she said.

Murphy’s longtime investment in the Cubs proved worthwhile Wednesday.

“I did not cry until I got a text from my oldest grandson,” Murphy said. “He said, ‘Thank you, Grandma, for making me the Cubs fan I am.’ ” Bill Zakavec, 69, of Romeoville is a lifelong Cubs fan. He went to his first game in 1959. Zakavec and his wife, Pat, went to one of the World Series games at Wrigley Field against the Indians and watched the Cubs lose. On Wednesday, they watched on TV at home as the Cubs won.

“Pretty exciting,” Zakavec said.

“We ate all the munchies. We ate all the veggies. We even broke down and ate the celery sticks.”

“This is why you’re a Cubs fan,” he said. “You know there’s going to be excitement. You know there’s going to be tension. And you know there’s going to be a question mark until the very end.”

Steve Kezerle of Minooka was at Progressive Field on Wednesday in Cleveland to watch the Cubs win the series.

“The atmosphere was very electric,” Kezerle said. “There were Cub fans everywhere – a lot of cheering, a lot of high-fives.”

Kezerle was taking video with his phone for the final outs of the game.

When it was over, his wife, Marcia, told him to look around.

“It was like being at a home game,” he said. “Every section of that stadium

CHICAGO – Ecstatic Cubs fans are expected to amass downtown Friday for a parade and rally to honor the new World Series champions.

The celebration of the Cubs’ first title in 108 years will kick off when team buses leave Wrigley Field at 10 a.m. for an official launch of the parade at 11 a.m.

The procession will begin at the intersection of famed Michigan Avenue and Oak Street, heading south, then continue along Columbus Drive to Grant Park for a noon rally.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has proclaimed Friday as “World Champion Chicago Cubs Day” across the state. Rauner called the win “bigger than baseball.”

“This is a celebration for past and present fans along with all the Cubs’ legends who never gave up hope,” he said.

The noon rally will be at Grant Park’s Hutchinson Field. The celebration comes two days after the Cubs’ dramatic 8-7, extra-inning Game 7 victory in Cleveland.

All fans attending the rally must pass through security screenings, city officials said.

Closed water bottles will be allowed into the rally, and food vendors will be on site. City officials said there will be “zero tolerance” for drinking.

Will County area tied its previous record in early October

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County could surpass 80 heroin-related deaths in 2016 if trends continue.

On Oct. 3, Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil announced the county had tied its previous single-year record of 53 heroin-related deaths, set in both 2012 and 2015.

On Thursday, O’Neil said he confirmed Wednesday the 58th heroin-associated fatality in the county this year. The coroner’s office currently has nine cases pending in which it suspects heroin as a cause of death.

“I would just say the scenes are very suggestive of heroin overdose in those nine cases,” he told the Will County Board’s Public Health and Safety Committee. ”We could be on pace for perhaps 80 heroin-related overdoses this year in the county.”

The county keeps updated data on overdose deaths on the coroner’s website for public view. It includes the age, sex and location of those who have died as well the substances and any other causes that may have factored into the death.

“Some of the things we’ve seen in toxicology reports are unprecedented,” O’Neil said.

He said “analogs” – substances chemically similar to certain illegal or illicit narcotic drugs – are being mixed in with heroin as a booster. Fentanyl, between 50 to 100 times stronger than heroin, is being found both mixed with heroin and by itself in overdose deaths locally and across the nation.

“There’s no patent on heroin, so who really knows what they’re getting?” O’Neil said.

Medications in pill form are the second leading cause of overdose deaths in the county, after heroin, he said.

Some of the medications and their associated brand names include: alprazolam or Xanax; oxycodone or Oxycontin; hydrocodone or Vicodin; and acetaminophen or Percocet.

“There’s definitely a correlation between the pain meds and the heroin overdoses,” O’Neil said. “A lot of it starts with the prescriptions.”

Will County Executive’s Office Chief of Staff Nick Palmer noted hearing a number quoted recently that 14

Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil addresses the County Board’s Public Health and Safety Committee on Thursday regarding 2016’s record-breaking heroin overdose deaths in Will County. billion opiate pills are produced each year in the United States.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration announced in October a 25 percent reduction on the number for 2017. While the reduction is a positive, it’s not enough, Palmer said.

“People get prescribed 50 pills, 80 pills – and they use three of them,” he said. “Then they’ve got the rest sitting there. It’s this mass production of these pills and the mass availability, which is contributing – beyond just the heroin – it’s the opiates.”

Later this month, the County Board will likely approve a contract with the Robert Crown Center to introduce heroin education curriculum to Lincoln-Way High School District 210 and Wilmington School District 209-U. It would be paid for by a federal Justice Assistance Grant.

The county has been bringing heroin-related education to school districts for several years with Robert Crown. But County Board members have started to express concern that the programs were “one-and-done” in the districts and not maintained after the first year.

County Executive’s Office Commu-

“Some of the things we’ve seen in toxicology reports are unprecedented.”

Patrick K. O’Neil Will County coroner

nications Director Anastasia Tuskey said districts that already implemented the heroin teachings have reported good results with students.

The heroin curriculum introduced is making its way into other subjects at schools, such as science, Tuskey said.

She said that districts are working to find the best way to integrate it into their respective curriculum.

Palmer said the executive’s office will work to make sure heroin and opioid education stays in curricula so it’s not just a “one-and-done” program. He said there might be ways to “widen the scope” when addressing the epidemic with future grants as the issue evolves.

Next year, the county will try to use JAG grants to bring the Robert Crown programs to school districts in Homer Glen, Lockport and eastern Will Coun-

ty, Palmer said. Now that the county has introduced the program to its larger, consolidated districts, it will look to address smaller districts.

O’Neil said the overdoses – the victims of which are often people 25 and older – are a strain on his office, staff and budget.

“It’s probably going to cost our office $100,000 just on these heroin deaths,” he said. “There’s no crystal ball, so how do you budget for that?”

For all the heroin victims coming through the coroner’s doors, there also are many whom first responders have saved by administering naloxone – also known as Narcan – which can reverse the effects of an opiate overdose if given in time.

Paramedics and police officers in Will County now carry the live-saving medication, for which their respective departments must budget. Although it continues to save lives, it has a cost.

Officials are finding that with the rise of fentanyl use, stronger Narcan doses are needed.

“We could have a heroin fatality every day [in Will County],” O’Neil said.

“We could have over 300 a year in this county if it weren’t for Narcan.”

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For nearly 20 years, youths from First Presbyterian Church in Morris have aided others around the United States through Reach Mission Trips, which they continue today.

“The reason we do the mission trip with the kids is because there is a lot of need here in our own country,” said youth group leader Rose Grossi. “It’s not just about fixing homes, it’s about witnessing to our neighbors and sometimes having them witness to us.”

The project is funded with local fundraisers, including the group’s annual holiday fair, which will be held Saturday at First Presbyterian Church.

The money raised from the event will go to the youth group that goes each year on a mission trip with Reach, a Christian organization that helps repair homes for those in need in the United States.

Grossi said she and her husband, Ray Grossi, have been going for several years with the youth group, which consists of area high school and college students.

This year’s holiday fair vendors include local artists and crafters, as well as vendors such as Scentsy and Tupperware.

In addition to the vendors, the youth group will be selling Scrip Cards, a product they offer year-round to those in the community. Scrip Cards are gift cards to various stores, restaurants, hotel chains and cruise lines.

Rose said they get a percentage of each card they sell while those purchasing them get full face value of what they spend.

They will have the cards available for purchase for those looking to give gift cards for the holidays.

What Rose said excites her the most about the event is the handmade creative items by people in the community.

Lockport set to approve $2.55 million pipeline agreement

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – The Lockport City Council is set to approve agreements necessary for a Warrenville-based oil company to build a nearly 2-mile pipeline under the I&M Canal to transport crude oil to a new barge facility on an island on the west side of the S&S Canal.

If the agreements are approved, the city will receive as compensation a total of $2.55 million from Ducere LLC through a period of 13 years – $2.05 million of which would be received in the next three years.

The city’s TIF district also is expected to benefit with an estimated $2.3 million in property taxes from two storage tanks also to be constructed at the existing Shell Oil tank farm north of Star Business Park.

The proposed easement and redevelopment agreements were presented for consideration to the council’s Committee of the Whole at its meeting Wednesday with a recommendation for approval by City Administrator Ben Benson.

The easement agreement is for a

1.75 mile, 30-inch-wide pipeline that would transport oil from the Shell tank farm to the new storage and barge-loading facility.

Some of that pipeline’s route would fall under the city’s public right of way.

Ducere Managing Partner Dave Nelson told committee members that the pipeline would be low-pressure and drilled into limestone bedrock to shield it from damage that could cause leaks.

The project also would create about 200 construction and 50 permanent jobs, he said. When asked by Alderman Jim Petrakos about hiring workers from Lockport, Nelson said that Ducere would prioritize hiring locally for the permanent jobs and using local tradesmen for construction work.

The proposal for the pipeline was first presented to the council last fall, when the council agreed to sign a letter of support for the project as Ducere applied for approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Mayor Steven Streit said at the time that a major incentive for allowing the easement agreement was to receive compensation to fund estab-

lishing quiet zones for Lockport’s 11 train crossings to increase the quality of life for its west-side residents, an endeavor which will cost more than $2 million.

With Ducere having now secured permits and licenses from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the Army Corps and Will County, as well a number of other involved local government agencies, Lockport is willing to move forward with the agreement with that goal in mind, Streit said.

Although the redevelopment agreement includes language for using the funds to assist with the quiet zone project, “the two agreements do not dictate or restrict the use of funds” and the money “can be used for any capital project,” according to Benson’s recommendation memo.

Streit said that he would be “adamant” about using the funds for the specified purpose.

Lockport resident Sandy Burcenski, who is a director with the nonprofit Citizens Against Ruining the Environment, spoke out against the pipeline, citing safety concerns.

The council likely will approve the agreements at its Nov. 16 meeting.

Lower tax levy expected

The city’s expected tax rate for 2016 will be 0.8985, which is down about 6.5 percent from last year’s rate of 0.9607, Finance Director Lisa Heglund said Wednesday.

The shift is because of increasing property values and “a high amount of new property in the city,” she said.

Lockport has seen growth in property values for the second year straight, Heglund said. For Lockport, Will County estimates about $14 million in new annexation and property development for a nine-month period and about a $53 million increase in property values for 2016, she said.

With such high development seen by the city, she said, it will not incorporate in its levy a 0.7 percent increase in the consumer price index.

According to Heglund’s presentation, homeowners likely will see a decrease on their 2016 property tax bills of about $25.64 and $13.89 for homes with a market value in 2015 of $250,000 and $150,000, respectively, The city is expected to approve a tax levy of about $5.94 million, which will include about $878,800 in bonds and interest, at its Nov. 16 meeting.

Airgas celebrates opening of air separation unit “It takes a lot of people to make a project like this happen.

When we met with the county and the village of Minooka, we saw a great fit.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Airgas Inc., an Air Liquide company, celebrated the opening of its new air separation unit earlier this week in Minooka with community members and public officials.

“What I like is that they [Airgas] have become partners with our great community – another partner is what we need,” Minooka Mayor Pat Brennan said at the event Tuesday.

Airgas is the leading U.S. supplier of industrial, medical and specialty gases and related products.

The new plant, which produces more than 500 tons of oxygen, nitrogen, argon and ultra-high-purity oxygen per day, increases Airgas’ production capabilities in the Chicago area, enhancing the company’s gas supply chain and ensuring long-term reliability of supply for merchant gas customers in the region, according to a news release from the company.

Tom Thoman, president of Airgas Merchant Gases LLC said there is a great need for the products they supply in the Midwest, and the Minooka plant is ideally located to service current and future customers.

“It takes a lot of people to make a

economic development of the community.

“When you get manufacturing facilities in an area you tend to have a broader reach,” she said. “Not only do they create jobs, but the impact is further felt as those who work in the same field also create jobs as they get products from the manufacturing facility.”

The state-of-the-art facility is managed by Airgas’ merchant gases division, which manages Airgas’ network of ASUs, procurement and supplier relationships, as well as the logistics and distribution of bulk atmospheric and other gases.

National Radiologic Technology Week will be celebrated Nov. 6-12 to recognize the outstanding work of radiologic technologists. It will call attention to the important role medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals play in patient care and health care safety.

Some of those future professionals are getting their start at the University of St. Francis where three radiologic science programs (Radiography, Radiation Therapy and Nuclear Medicine Technology) are offered.

“The great thing about these programs are the clinical internships that we’ve created through affiliations with area hospitals as well as in the Chicagoland and Rockford area,” said Leia Levy, program director. “Students have multiple options.”

Radiography is a 2+2 program. Students must first complete two years of liberal and pre-professional science education courses at the University of St. Francis before applying for admission to the program at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago or Swedish American Hospital in Rockford.

Radiation Therapy also is a 2+2 program.

Students first complete two years of liberal and pre-professional science education courses at the University of St. Francis, then apply for admission to a professional education component.

The major program in Nuclear Medicine Technology combines chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer technology and biology in using radioactivity to diagnose and treat disease.

Students spend three years at the University of St. Francis taking liberal education and science courses followed by a 12-month professional phase at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.

“Our radiologic science programs provides options for students interested in health care,” Levy said. “There’s nursing school and medical school but some students are not aware of the therapeutic and imaging radiologic sciences which can provide a unique and very focused career.”

Students in these programs are blessed with small class sizes that provide a more thorough learning experience.

“Students get to know their classmates and their professors here,” Levy said. “That has resulted in very good retention rates.”

had Cubs fans in the front row singing, ‘Go Cubs, Go.’ ” Kezerle estimated that 30 to 40 percent of the fans in the stadium were Cubs fans.

Beiker Espinoza of Joliet was at a bar where everyone was a Cubs fan.

“It’s like a dream come true,” he said. “I wish my grandpa was here. He passed away a year ago. He was a big Cubs fan.”

Anthony Latham of Plainfield called the World Series “the biggest thing this country has seen for a long time and well-needed. I don’t think we’ll be talking about politics for a couple of days.”

Latham said he was “crying, yelling and screaming” at various points of the game and felt “relief and jubilation” at the end.

Alyssa Nunez of Romeoville called the game “nerve-racking and very uncomfortable.”

But she was at Dick’s Sporting Goods with a purpose, getting shirts and hats she plans to put to use on a trip to Chicago with two sisters and a cousin Friday.

“We’re all going to be wearing them at the parade,” Nunez said.

Cubs fans celebrate Wednesday at Heroes West in Joliet.

He had garnered notice quickly after he opened his first shop in Beverly Hills, California, in 1951. A collection he brought to New York in 1953 “immediately attracted the attention of the connoisseurs in the fashion field.

His styles had individuality and freshness,” according to The New York Times.

In 1954, he moved his business into larger quarters and – at the tender age of 30 – won the prestigious Coty American Fashion Critics Award.

Reagan liked other designers, too, including Adolfo, Jean Louis and Bill

Tom Nickoloff, former USC receiver, dies at 84 The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Tom Nickoloff, a receiver who played on Southern California’s 10-1 team that beat Wisconsin in the 1953 Rose Bowl, has died. He was 84.

The university said Wednesday that Nickoloff died Oct. 23 of complications from Alzheimer’s disease in Woodland Hills.

Nickoloff was captain of the 1953 USC football team that defeated the Badgers 7-0 in the Rose Bowl game. He had seven catches for 73 yards in the win.

He led the Trojans in receiving in

1952 and ’53. Nickoloff caught 25 passes and had three touchdowns as a junior.

All of his scoring catches that season came in the game against Stanford.

As a senior, he had 15 catches and two touchdowns. He played in the 1954 Hula Bowl and East-West Shrine Game before being a third-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 1954.

However, he never played in the NFL because of injuries sustained in a car crash.

Nickoloff went on to work as a civil defense attorney.

Blass. But it was no surprise that the incoming first lady would select Galanos to design her 1981 inaugural gown.

He had designed her inaugural gown when she became first lady of California 14 years earlier.

Reagan requested a one-shoulder style, and Galanos complied, coming up with a white lace over silk gown with elaborate embroidery and beading that Galanos said took workers several weeks to apply.

“I wouldn’t ask anybody else but Jimmy,” she told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2006. “It was just a natural. I don’t know of any clothes that were made as well as Jimmy’s.”

As is the custom, the 1981 gown was

Angeline Kopka, once the oldest lawmaker in U.S. dies at age 100 The ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCORD, N.H. – A five-term New Hampshire state representative who once was the oldest legislator in the country has died. Angeline “Angie” Kopka was 100.

A funeral home said Kopka died Friday at her home.

New Hampshire’s Legislature has 400 House representatives and 24 senators, making it the third-largest legislative body in the English-speaking world behind the U.S. Congress and

British Parliament.

In 2008, the National Conference of State Legislatures reported that New Hampshire had the oldest and youngest lawmakers in the country in Kopka and Jeff Fontas, both Democrats from Nashua. Kopka was then 92. Fontas was 21.

Kopka retired at 98.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen called Kopka a “trailblazer” who pushed boundaries, attended business college and created her own business, in addition to her public service.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – James Galanos, the California fashion designer who was known for his elegant, meticulously constructed dresses and created both of first lady Nancy Reagan’s inaugural gowns, has died.

He was 92.

Galanos died Sunday in West Hollywood, said fellow fashion designer Ralph Rucci, a longtime admirer and friend of Galanos.

“I loved him very much,” Rucci said. “There could never have been a Ralph Rucci without Galanos.”

Galanos trained in Paris in the 1940s in the fashion house of Robert Piguet, and the French couture tradition of bringing the best materials and highest-quality handwork to the making of garments stayed with him all his life.

“It’s what’s inside a dress that counts,” he told The New York Times in 1981. “If you can turn a dress inside out and see that the workmanship is clean as a whistle, that’s quality. ...

Quality is more important than wildly innovative styles.”

Such handwork didn’t come cheap, and the designer’s well-heeled customers – among them stars such as Rosalind Russell and Diana Ross – got used to paying $2,000 or more for a blouse.

He had nothing good to say about the fashions he saw in public in later years.

“We’re living in a blue-jean world with itty-bitty tops,” he told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2006. “What a bore. These women look dirty. They

donated to the Smithsonian Institution.

“I really shy away from all the hullabaloo,” Galanos told The Philadelphia Inquirer shortly after the inauguration. “I just don’t take to it. ... It’s nice to get the extra attention, but my reputation was made a long time ago.”

Reagan was back in Galanos at the 1985 inauguration, this time in a longsleeved, beaded white gown with art deco-inspired details. In 1986, she attended the wedding of Britain’s Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson in a seagreen Galanos silk dress and matching coat.

Such costly clothes raised comments from critics, but like other first ladies, Reagan was able to borrow outfits or get discounts from designers happy with the publicity that a White House connection brought.

With his attention to detail and high prices, Galanos never commanded the big following of contemporaries such as Blass. He did bring out a line of fragrances, but he largely remained aloof from mass production.

“I established myself on my own and I’ve avoided becoming part of a conglomerate the way many designers do,” he told The New York Times in 1981. “I do my own selling, designing, and I deal with all the buyers. I inspect every garment before it goes out.

I don’t care what other designers say, when you have 15 factories making your clothes, you lose control.

“I’m not in this for the money.

You can’t drive two cars at once and you can’t live in five homes at once.

I choose to live in two rooms, but I make sure they are the most comfortable two rooms around.”

STATE Senate hopefuls recall personal triumphs in late push

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – He’s the stroke survivor who returned to Washington after a year of rehab determined to put people before his party. She’s the war hero who lost both legs in the Iraq War, then turned to fighting for Illinois families.

Making their final push for voters to send them to the U.S. Senate, Republican Sen. Mark Kirk and Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth are returning to the personal stories that had their contest shaping up early on as one the most compelling in the country.

Both candidates are disabled and have triumphed over adversity. But those story lines took a back seat for much of the race as Kirk went on the attack against Duckworth, who is heavily favored to win Tuesday.

Kirk ran multiple ads ripping Duckworth’s record as director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs.

He also criticized her as ineffective in Congress and repeatedly tried to link her to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who appointed Duckworth to the state post and now is in prison.

Duckworth hit back with ads saying Kirk lied about his own military experience and criticized him for a series of verbal gaffes.

At a debate last week, he mocked Duckworth’s immigrant background

Governor gives $1M to GOP comptroller candidate

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner has given $1 million of his own money to Republican incumbent Leslie Munger’s bid for Illinois comptroller.

State records this week showed the contribution that came from the former venture capitalist and his wife, Diana Rauner.

Rauner appointed Munger to the post last year after Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka’s death. Tuesday’s special election determines who finishes the term.

and her family’s military service by saying he’d forgotten her “parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington.” He apologized the next day but lost some key endorsements and faced criticism that his remarks were racist.

Kirk previously inflicted damage on his campaign with other controversial comments, including calling an unmarried senator a “bro with no ho.”

With Election Day approaching,

Kirk is circling back to a positive ad about his stroke and recovery that he ran early in the election cycle. In it, he recounts being in an ambulance, holding a paramedic’s hand and thinking it was “the last human being I would ever touch.”

On Sunday, Kirk plans to join fellow stroke survivors in climbing the stairs of Chicago’s Willis Tower – something he’s done four times since his 2012 stroke. Kirk said he sees stair

The four-way race already has seen massive fundraising, largely from a Rauner campaign fund and businessmen who support Rauner.

Since 2015’s start, Munger has raised more than $10 million, including $2 million from shipping executive Richard Uihlein and $5 million from Citadel CEO Ken Griffin.

Democratic Chicago City Clerk Susana Mendoza raised about $3.5 million in the same period.

Libertarian Claire Ball and Green Party candidate Tim Curtin also are running.

CHICAGO – Police said three people were killed and a fourth critically wounded in a Chicago shooting being investigated as a possible domestic incident.

Police said the shooting

Police said a woman who was shot in the chest was taken to a hospital, where she was listed in critical condition.

Climatologists: Oct. seventh warmest on record in Illinois

CHAMPAIGN – Climatologists said the average statewide temperature in Illinois last month was the seventh warmest October on record.

Illinois State Water Survey reported Wednesday that the average temperature for October was 59.8 degrees, 5.4 degrees above normal. The warmest

climbing as a metaphor for overcoming challenges; Sunday’s event benefits the rehabilitation hospital where the first-term senator learned to walk and talk again.

“Every Illinois family has steps to climb,” Kirk said. “I want to serve as the inspiration for over 300,000 stroke survivors in Illinois that while their lives have changed, recovery is achievable and they must never give up.”

Duckworth, a second-term congresswoman, is running a final ad that references the day the helicopter she was co-piloting was shot down in Iraq in 2004. In the statewide ad, Duckworth said she knows what it’s like “to fight for your life behind enemy lines” and to not be left behind.

“If you elect me to the Senate, I’ll be guided by the simple notion that if you don’t give up on yourself, America won’t give up on you,” she said.

Duckworth entered the race with some big advantages. Illinois is a reliably Democratic state – even more so in presidential election years, and Duckworth raised millions more for what her party saw as the top opportunity to pick up a seat and potentially retake control of the Senate.

Kirk reported having just $576,000 cash on hand as of Oct. 19, while Duckworth had about $2.5 million, according to a pre-election campaign finance filing.

October was in 1963, when the average hit 63.6 degrees.

The report also said Illinois has experienced above-normal temperatures in nine out of the 10 months of 2016.

The average temperature for the period from January through October was 58 degrees, 2.5 degrees above normal. That also makes it the fourth warmest January through October in Illinois on record. The warmest was in 2012, when the average was 59.1 degrees.

The Illinois State Water Survey is a Division of the Prairie Research Institute of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Nelson Algren museum is planned in beach community

GARY, Ind. – A museum dedicated to Nelson Algren is planned in the northwest Indi-

ana beach community where the late Chicago author had a cottage.

The Times reported that the Nelson Algren Society of Miller Beach plans to display the author’s desk, chair and typewriter. Organizers are looking for other Algren memorabilia.

Algren won the first National Book Award in fiction in 1950 for “The Man with the Golden Arm.” The novel about a card dealer with a morphine habit is set in Chicago and was made into a movie starring Frank Sinatra.

The Algren Society plans to open the museum in March of next year on the late author’s birthday. The Miller neighborhood already has a small park and an annual festival dedicated to Algren, who died in 1981.

NEW YORK – A woman who appeared to win a life-changing $42.9 million jackpot at a New York City casino is threatening to sue after being told the big payout she was shown was simply the result of a malfunction.

Katrina Bookman was playing the penny slot machine at Resorts World Casino in August when it displayed a message that read, “Printing Cash Ticket. $42,949,642.76.” She even took a selfie next to the screen to celebrate. But when Bookman tried to collect, the casino told her it was all a big mistake and she was only owed the $2.25 balance she had on the machine.

“Machine malfunctions are rare, and we would like to extend our apologies to Ms. Bookman for any inconvenience this may have caused,” the casino said in a statement.

The New York State Gaming Commission investigated and said the bogus payout was “clearly a display malfunction.”

The machine was taken out of service, repaired and put back a day later, the commission said.

No verdict in Day 4 of bridge deliberations

NEWARK, N.J. – A federal jury went home Thursday without reaching a verdict in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing trial of two former allies of Re-

publican Gov. Chris Christie as defense attorneys sought a mistrial and to have some evidence removed from consideration.

Four days into deliberations, the jury left the courthouse without sending any questions to the judge. That was in contrast to Tuesday’s session, when they raised several questions about the counts in the indictment against Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni.

Kelly, Christie’s former deputy chief of staff, and Baroni, his top appointee to the bridge authority, are charged with scheming to use traffic jams to punish a Democratic mayor who didn’t endorse Christie in 2013.

Brexit hits speed bump after court ruling

LONDON –Britain’s plans to leave the European Union hit a large speed bump Thursday, as the High Court ruled that the government can’t start exit negotiations without a vote in Parliament.

The judgment deepened Britain’s divide over Europe, raising hopes among pro-EU politicians that they can soften the terms of the U.K.’s withdrawal from the bloc. “Leave” campaigners said any attempt to do that would be a betrayal of voters’ decision.

The government immediately said it would ask the Supreme Court to overturn the ruling.

Obama on campaign: This isn’t ‘Survivor’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Donald Trump warned Thursday that a cloud of investigation would follow Hillary Clinton into the White House, evoking the bitter impeachment battle of the 1990s in a closing campaign argument meant to bring wayward Republicans home. Clinton and her allies, led by President Barack Obama, told voters to get serious about the dangers of Trump.

As polls show Trump closing in on Clinton in key battleground states, her campaign is rushing to shore up support in some long-standing Democratic strongholds.

That includes the campaign’s Michigan firewall, a remarkable situation for a candidate who looked to be cruising to an easy win just a week ago.

Clinton’s shrunken lead has given Trump’s campaign a glimmer of hope, one he’s trying to broaden into a breakthrough before time runs out. That means zeroing in on questions of Clinton’s trustworthiness and a new FBI review of an aide’s emails.

The attack is aimed at appealing to moderate Republicans and independents who have been the holdouts of his campaign, turned off by his behavior but equally repelled by the possible return of the Clintons.

“Here we go again with the Clintons – you remember the impeachment and the problems,” Trump said Thursday at a rally in Jacksonville.

“That’s not what we need in our country, folks. We need someone who is ready to go to work.”

Clinton and allies, meanwhile, are seeking to keep the spotlight on Trump, charging that his disparaging comments about women and minorities, and his temperament make him unfit for office.

President Barack Obama speaks at a campaign rally Thursday for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Fla. “He has spent this entire campaign offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters,” Clinton said, singling out Trump’s endorsement from the official newspaper of the Ku Klux Klan and noting that he has retweeted messages from white supremacists.

“This has never happened to a nominee of a major party,” Clinton said.

“If Donald Trump were to win this election, we would have a commander in chief who is completely out of his depth and whose ideas are incredibly dangerous,” she said at Pitt Community College outside of Greenville, North Carolina. Clinton was slated to campaign later Thursday with former primary opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders and pop star Pharrell Williams in Raleigh.

Trump’s path to victory remains narrow. He must win Florida to win the White House, no easy feat. Still, his campaign has been buoyed by tightening polls there and in other key battlegrounds, as well as by signs that African-American turnout for Clinton may be lagging.

Clinton enlisted Obama’s help urging those voters to

the polls and lighting a fire under other Democrats, particularly young people, who share some of the wariness about Clinton. Speaking to students at Florida International University in Miami, Obama told voters now was the time to get serious about the choice.

“This isn’t a joke. This isn’t ‘Survivor.’ This isn’t ‘The Bachelorette.’ ” he said, taunting the former reality-TV star. “This counts.”

Relishing one of his last turns on the campaign stage as president, Obama repeatedly returned to his new campaign catchphrase capturing his disbelief in the unpredictable race to replace him.

“C’mon, man,” he said, to cheers.

Obama has been trying to bait Republican into veering off message – counting on Trump not to have the discipline or the ground game to capitalize on a late surge.

But the famously unconventional Trump has been hewing closer to convention, running some upbeat ads, bringing out his wife for a rare campaign appearance and even talking publicly about trying not to get distracted.

Judge: Iowa police slaying suspect hit mom The ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Iowa – An Iowa man jailed Thursday in the killings of two police officers was facing intense money problems, had been found by a judge to hit and financially exploit his mother and was ordered to move out of her basement hours before the shootings.

Scott Michael Greene, 46, was arrested Thursday afternoon after detectives questioned him at the Des Moines police station. Greene was secured with the handcuffs that had belonged to the patrolmen who were killed in ambush-style attacks, Des Moines Sgt. Anthony Beminio and Urbandale officer Justin Martin, and was later booked into the county jail.

Greene was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. If convicted, he would receive an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole. A statement from Des Moines police said the investigation has produced probable cause to support the charges.

Police said earlier Thursday that a search dog recovered a high-powered rifle in a wooded area that they believe Greene used to fire on the officers.

Greene had been hospitalized for treatment of a pre-existing medical condition after his surrender Wednesday

Local residents place flowers on a memorial outside the Urbandale Police Department on Wednesday in Urbandale, Iowa. Urbandale officer Justin Martin and Des Moines officer Sgt. Anthony Beminio were ambushed and fatally shot in separate attacks Wednesday as they sat in their patrol cars, authorities said. morning. He left the hospital Thursday.

Greene, an unemployed father who lived in the Des Moines suburb of Urbandale, was behaving erratically and increasingly desperate for money in recent weeks, court records show.

District Judge Carla Schemmel ruled Tuesday that Greene had committed elder abuse against his 66-yearold mother, Patricia Greene, by “physically hitting and financially exploiting” her. She ordered him to move out of his mother’s home, where he had

been living in a basement bedroom, before Nov. 6 and to stay away from the home for a year.

Patricia Greene had applied for the restraining order Oct. 19, two days after she was arrested and charged with striking her son in the face during an altercation that he had recorded with his cellphone. She wrote in the application that she believed her son “set me up to get me in trouble.” Patricia Greene wrote that while she was in jail, Scott Greene told one of her friends that Patricia Greene needed to give him $20,000 and that if his mother paid, “he would move and not bother” her again.

Patricia Greene also wrote that her son had sent an acquaintance “a bunch of rambling, offensive” text messages, warned that he would no longer take care of her cat and was going through her personal belongings. She said her son had subjected her to mental, emotional and financial abuse.

A temporary protective order was issued Oct. 20. Schemmel issued the permanent order during Tuesday’s hearing, where it was served on Scott Greene. The order, which warned that any violations would lead to his arrest, also directed Greene to return $10,000 to his mother and to not take any of her assets.

Study: Obama tax hikes on rich didn’t hurt economy, or rich

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s 2013 tax increases for wealthy Americans neither slowed their income growth nor hurt the economy, according to a study that taps into a key debate in the current presidential race.

The top 1 percent of earners managed to increase their share of the nation’s income at about the same pace after their taxes were raised as they had before, according to the study, released Thursday by Emmanuel Saez, an economics professor at University of California, Berkeley.

That outcome suggests that wealthier Americans did not respond to the higher taxes by either working less or saving less, as many economists often say will happen.

Saez and his frequent collaborator, Thomas Piketty, have helped fuel a contentious debate over income inequality with their research into income gains by the wealthiest Americans. Like their previous work, the new study uses recently released tax data from the IRS. The findings are relevant to the presidential campaign, in which the two major nominees have put forth

radically different ideas for taxing wealthier households. Donald Trump has proposed steep tax cuts that would benefit primarily the richest 1 percent.

He maintains that his plan would accelerate economic growth by spurring more spending and investment.

Hillary Clinton wants to sharply raise taxes for the wealthy and use the resulting revenue to help pay for infrastructure projects and financial aid for higher education. Those steps, she argues, would quicken growth by making shipping, commuting and travel more efficient and raising workers’ skill levels.

Most independent analyses have concluded that Clinton’s tax hikes would modestly slow the economy.

With any new income subject to higher taxes, economists typically assume that richer Americans would work and save somewhat less. Lower savings would mean that the wealthy would invest less in stocks and corporate bonds, leaving companies with less money to borrow to buy more equipment.

Yet Saez said his research suggests that the 2013 tax increases for the wealthy didn’t slow the economy, at least so far.

“The 2013 tax hike had no dis-

Other data points appear to support Saez’s conclusion: Employers added 5.8 million jobs in 2014 and 2015 – the strongest two-year growth since the late 1990s.

OUR VIEW

Cubs will feel the love at today’s rally It’s a great day for a parade.

After waiting 108 years, it seemed only fitting that Cubs fans would have to endure the suspense and drama of a seven-game series, with the last game a 10-inning, emotional roller-coaster that included a 17-minute rain delay.

But when the game finally ended, so too did all the phony-baloney talk about curses and chokes, of the Cubs being lovable losers whose fans always wait till next year.

Next year is here.

All season, this Cubs team was amazing.

They had some of the game’s top hitters in first baseman Anthony Rizzo and third baseman Kris Bryant, the likely NL MVP. They had some of its best pitchers in Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta and Kyle Hendricks. They had some players with great stories, from Kyle Schwarber’s rushed return from knee surgery to play in the series, to “Grandpa” David Ross, the 39-year-old catcher who homered in Game 7, the last of his career.

The Cubs clearly were baseball’s best squad from start to finish, winning 103 regular-season games and winning the NL Central Division by a jaw-dropping 171/2 games.

Although there was little doubt the Cubs would win their division during the regular season, these playoffs provided enough drama to last us through the long winter ahead.

The Cubs thrilled us with a four-run, ninth inning comeback to vanquish the San Francisco in a National League Division Series.

After being shut out in back-to-back games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, they roared back and won the National League pennant by roughing up Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in that series’ decisive sixth game.

The Cleveland Indians provided the toughest challenge. They had plowed through the American League playoffs with a lights-out bullpen, and had a tradition of futility that rivaled the Cubs’ – it’s now 68 years and counting. They had the Cubs on the ropes with a 3-1 series lead – but the Cubs refused to quit.

We send our condolences to Cleveland – if anyone can relate to how you feel, it’s Cubs fans.

But someone had to lose this series as certain as someone had to win it, and 108 years of misery and near-misses was more than anyone should be expected to endure.

Today, the Cubs are World Series champions, and their fans feel a joy that they’ve never experienced before, an emotion that they’ll get to pour out when the team parades through Chicago before a noon rally in Grant Park.

What a great way to close a remarkable season.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Safe Roads Amendment important for infrastructure To the Editor: On Tuesday, before casting a vote for President of the United States, Illinois voters will be asked to decide an important issue that can help repair and fortify decaying roads and bridges across the state, put more people to work and improve the quality of life for all citizens in Illinois.

The Safe Roads Amendment will prevent lawmakers from using transportation dollars for other purposes, guaranteeing that money will be spent on what it was meant for – improving our transportation infrastructure and making our roadways safer.

With about half of Illinois roads and 4,200 bridges in poor condition, our public transportation systems need modernizing and repair. Not surprisingly, outdated infrastructure is tremendously expensive to fix and maintain. Making matters worse, transportation funding in Illinois often runs dry. During the past 10 years, the state’s financial woes have resulted in lawmakers raiding $6 billion worth of transportation revenue.

One of Illinois’ greatest assets is its transportation infrastructure. By making the necessary investments, our transportation infrastructure, combined with the work ethic of our people, should make Illinois impossible to compete with.

Investments in transportation infrastructure strengthen our economy and create

OPINIONS

jobs, ultimately generating more revenue for education and other critical services needed for our children, the elderly, and the most vulnerable in society. It is not a zero-sum game as some critics suggest.

We have a chance to make our transportation infrastructure safe for our families and loved ones, and we need to think beyond quick fixes and short-term patchwork solutions to work towards a safer, state-of-the art-transportation system that can compete on the world stage in a 21st century economy.

The Safe Roads Amendment will fortify our roads and bridges, protect transportation dollars, hold the government accountable, boost our economy and put Illinoisans back to work. Let’s not risk this opportunity to make a difference and ensure our voices heard on Nov. 8. Vote “Yes” for the Safe Roads Amendment.

Marty Ozinga President of Ozinga Bros., Mokena Tom Weigel helped me and I thank him for it To the Editor: Let me start by saying that I do vote in elections but I am not deeply involved in politics. I find it appropriate for me to inform the public about the help I received from Tom Weigel!

I have been experiencing “general stormwater” flow problems for many years and tried rectifying the situation personally along with some help from

a few friends. Unfortunately, I was not successful.

I was fortunate by chance to obtain a flyer about Mr. Weigel. I was impressed by his credentials. I called Mr. Weigel about three weeks ago to seek his corrective suggestions. He replied back to me within a few hours after I left him a voicemail message. Please keep in mind that I do not even reside in his district; he came out to my residence to survey my problem.

Mr. Weigel told me he would have a contracting land engineer evaluate and propose a solution to my problem. Well, he did do that today and my frustrations have been eliminated with professional advice.

I asked Mr. Weigel if there was anything I could do for him since he was so helpful . He responded no, and have a nice day. I thought writing this letter to you would hopefully fulfill my appreciation.

Robert F. Jasienicki Monee It’s all there To the Editor: I don’t know which voter information guide Norm Beaton is looking at, but mine has every office listed for BOTH sides!

To accuse the County Clerk’s Office of “Gerrymandering” is ridiculous.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: CLASS 4A ROMEOVILLE SECTIONAL FINAL: MINOOKA 2, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 0 (25-15, 25-20)

SWEET REVENGE

A ready Minooka beats Plainfield Central for 1st sectional title since 1999

By KAITLYN JASNICA

kjasnica@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Twenty-eight days ago, Plainfield Central’s girls volleyball team gave Minooka the best gift.

The Wildcats beat the Indians.

If anything could light a fire under Minooka, it was losing the Southwest Prairie Conference title to one of its biggest rivals.

The story of Thursday’s Class 4A Romeoville Sectional final was simple. Minooka showed up as the team everyone expected it to be – unstoppable. For the first time since 1999, Minooka captured a sectional title with a 25-15, 25-20 victory over Plainfield Central.

“That loss was probably the best thing that ever happened to us,” Minooka coach Carrie Prosek said.

Since that loss, the Indians (336) have only lost to Geneva twice in three sets and to Normal U-High. They have dominated since the loss, and offense helped them command the sectional match.

Brooklyn Bachmann dished out 28 assists to the junior trio of Alli Papesh, Rocky Perinar and Holly Bonde, all of whom deflated the ball.

With the match on the line and Central catching up, Perinar crushed the ball high over the hands cross court. Earlier, she destroyed the ball line, causing her bench to jump and cheer. Perinar earned 12 kills and added two blocks.

“I had a feeling from the beginning that I would be set a lot, but that last play I had a feeling that I was going to kill the ball,” Perinar said. “Right

Papesh did what she does. She swung at the ball so hard that even Central fans commented on how good she was. To match Perinar, she totaled 12 kills and also added three blocks

and nine digs.

Bonde did not get set as much in Game 2 because Perinar and Papesh were on fire, but the rightside was untouchable in the first game and earned all of her six kills then. Strong offensive play from Bonde is what Mi-

nooka will need to go further into the postseason. She proved Thursday that she can execute under pressure.

The Indians also proved they could execute game plans.

PREP FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2 PREVIEW CAPSULES

CLASS 7A: PLAINFIELD NORTH AT BRADLEY Kickoff: 1 p.m. Saturday

Paul Bergstrom for Shaw Media

Lemont coach Bret Kooi talks with his team during last week’s 35-13 win over Oak Forest. Kooi, whose Lockport teams won back-to-back Class 8A state championships in 2002 and 2003, will lead the Indians into a Round 2 game against visiting Danville at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Records: Plainfield North 8-2, Bradley 10-0 Playoff history: Plainfield North is in for the sixth time, third in succession, and is 1-5 in playoff games. Bradley is in for the 19th time, fifth in succession, and is 9-18.

Last week: Plainfield North 42, Highland Park 0; Bradley 42, Libertyville 17 Quarterfinals: Plainfield North would travel to St. Charles North (9-1) or host Rockford Auburn (9-1).

The skinny: While Bradley has proven to be one of the best teams in 7A, Plainfield North has been playing as if it deserves similar recognition. Among Bradley’s victims are Bolingbrook, 22-21; Lincoln-Way Central, 27-17, and Lincoln-Way East, 38-21. North, on the other hand, has outscored its last five opponents by a combined 207-7 as the Tigers have posted four shutouts in that span. The defensive unit led by cornerback Kevin Block, lineman Ari Ekowa, end Tim Donnahue and linebackers Will Stoll and JJ Frey will be tested by a Bradley offense featuring Iowa-bound running back Camron Harrell, fullback Matt Rafe and quarterback Morion Burtis. Harrell and Damien Williams had long interception returns for touchdowns in the win against Lincoln-Way East.

The pick: Plainfield North CLASS 6A: DANVILLE AT LEMONT Kickoff: 6 p.m. Saturday Records: Danville 8-2, Lemont 10-0 Playoff history: Danville is in for the 20th time, first since 2011, and is 18-19 in playoff games with one runner-up finish. Lemont is in for the 17th time, third in succession, and is 28-16 with three runner-up finishes.

Last week: Lemont 35, Oak Forest 13; Danville 41, Perspectives 14

Quarterfinals: Lemont would travel to CreteMonee (8-2) or to St. Laurence (7-3).

The skinny: The key could be how well the Lemont defense, which allows 9.2 points per game, can slow a Danville offense that averages 45.1 points. The Vikings have three rushers in quarterback Quentin Smith, Jerry Reed and Justin Daubaris who have between 674 and 947 yards. Smith, who has run for 20 touchdowns, has thrown for 1,405 yards and 18 scores. Lemont quarterback Spencer Nagel has completed 57 percent of his passes for 1,639 yards and 21 touchdowns for an offense averaging 32.1 points. Anthony Martin has 703 rushing yards and Jake Kirkman 605. Indians coach Bret Kooi is no stranger to playoff success, as his Lockport teams won 8A state titles in 2002 and 2003.

The pick: Lemont CLASS 5A: MORRIS AT TROY TRIAD Kickoff: 3 p.m. Saturday Records: Morris 8-2, Troy Triad 7-3 Playoff history: Morris is in for the 32nd time, first since 2014, and is 68-28 with three titles and seven runner-up finishes. Triad is in for the 20th time, third in succession, and is 10-19.

Last week: Morris 48, Marion 28; Triad 35, Geneseo 7 Quarterfinals: Morris would travel to Highland (9-1) or host Metamora (7-3).

The skinny: Morris takes the long bus ride to Troy in the St. Louis area, where the Redskins will face a Triad team that has lost 21-14 to 5-5 Waterloo, 24-0 to 9-1 Highland and 37-7 to 10-0 Belleville Althoff. The Knights average 29.8 points and allow 17.5, while Morris averages 34.3 and allows 13.6. The Redskins rely

on their defense and big, physical offensive line. Keegan Sobol has rushed for 616 yards, a 7.9 average, and 10 touchdowns. Michael Gerischer has chipped in 434 yards and averages 5.9 with nine scores. The teams have a common opponent as Triad beat Geneseo, 357, last week after Morris whipped the Maple Leafs, 41-14, in Week 9.

The pick: Morris CLASS 3A: BYRON AT WILMINGTON Kickoff: 6 p.m. Friday Records: Byron 10-0, Wilmington 10-0 Playoff history: Byron is in for the 23rd time, third in succession, and is 31-21 in playoff games with one state title. Wilmington is in for the 24th time, 21st in succession, and is 33-22 with one title and one runner-up finish.

Last week: Byron 44, Eureka 14; Wilmington 51, Corliss 8 Quarterfinals: Wilmington would travel to IC Catholic (10-0) or to Paxton-Buckley-Loda 9-1).

The skinny: Having this game in Round 2 demonstrates the strength of the northern bracket of 3A. Wilmington beat Byron, 31-14, in 2012 and 46-13 in the state championship season of 2014. Byron, whose closest game is a 35-22 win over 8-2 Rockford Lutheran, came into Wilmington and edged the Wildcats, 42-35, last season, handing coach Jeff Reents’ team its only loss over the past three seasons.

Byron averages 46.5 points and Wilmington 42.5. Joliet area rushing leader Owen Weaver has gone for 1,751 yards, averaging 10 a carry, and 33 touchdowns. The two-way standout also has 11 sacks and 22 tackles for loss.

The pick: Wilmington

CLASS 7A: ROLLING MEADOWS AT LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Records: Rolling Meadows 10-0, Lincoln-Way Central 7-3 Playoff history: Rolling Meadows is in for the 17th time, sixth in succession, and is 8-16 in playoff games. Lincoln-Way Central is in for the 21st time (including as Lincoln-Way), first since 2014, and is 21-19 with one title and one runner-up finish.

Last week: Rolling Meadows 44, Thornwood 12; Lincoln-Way Central 50, Reavis 20 Quarterfinals: Lincoln-Way Central would host Normal Community (9-1) or travel to Benet (8-2).

The skinny: Rolling Meadows is champion of the Mid-Suburban East, and its defense has been stingy. The Mustangs average 37.1 points and allow 7.6, and none of their 10 opponents has scored more than 14. Their forte on defense is quickness. So the Lincoln-Way Central offense, which has been effective on the ground with Mitch Hosman, Mike Morgan, Matt Pollack and Nico Muto, must bring its “A” game. Pollack also has caught 43 passes, largely from Hunter Campbell, for 814 yards and nine touchdowns. Rolling Meadows quarterback Asher O’Hara runs an option offense.

He completed 9 of 12 passes for 110 yards and rushed six times for 52 against Thornwood.

The pick: Rolling Meadows

CLASS 8A: WAUBONSIE VALLEY AT LINCOLN-WAY EAST Kickoff: 6:30 p.m. Saturday Records: Waubonsie Valley 6-4, Lincoln-Way East 8-2 Playoff history: Waubonsie Valley is in for the 20th time, 10th in succession, and is 15-19 in playoff games. Lincoln-Way East is in for the 16th straight time, every year of the school’s existence, and is 29-14 with one title and one runner-up finish.

Last week: Waubonsie Valley 33, Hinsdale Central 23; Lincoln-Way East 63, Chicago Taft 15 Quarterfinals: Lincoln-Way East would travel to Barrington (9-1) or host Maine South (7-3).

The skinny: Waubonsie Valley, seeded No. 30, pulled an upset in Round 1 with its victory over No. 3 Hinsdale Central. Then again, the Warriors entered the 2015 playoffs as the No. 31 seed in 8A and reached the semifinals. The big weapon last week for Waubonsie, which averages 23.3 points and allows 22.1, was tight end Chuck Robinson, who caught six passes for 214 yards and four touchdowns.

Lincoln-Way East averages 42.2 points and allows 15.0. Jake Arthur has completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 1,439 yards and 17 touchdowns. Nigel Muhammad has rushed for 743 yards, 6.9 per carry, and 15 touchdowns.

East’s only losses were to unbeatens Homewood-Flossmoor and Bradley.

28 AREA ROUNDUP

Reed-Custer takes Watseka three sets but falls SUBMITTED REPORTS

SENECA – The Reed-Custer volleyball team took its best shot against top-seeded Watseka in Thursday night’s Class 2A Seneca Sectional final, but it was not meant to be.

After dropping the first set, 25-17, the Comets came back to win the second, 25-21. However, Watseka recovered and won the third and deciding set, 25-13.

Senior Kassidy Barr finished her Reed-Custer career with 12 kills, 20 digs and a block. Madelyn Alton added nine kills, 25 digs and three aces.

Senior setter Val Guzman finished

with 25 assists and 17 digs. Four-year starting libero Georgia Votta ended with 14 digs and two aces.

“I was blessed to have seven great seniors that led this team with pride and dignity,” Reed-Custer coach Kelly Van Duyne said. “I am truly grateful for all of them.”

MEN’S SOCCER Magallanes honored: Rockford Uni-

versity freshman Jose Magallanes (Joliet Central) was voted to the Northern Collegiate Athletics Conference All-Freshman Team. He is the team’s first all-conference selection since 2012 and the second Re-

gents’ men’s soccer player to earn a spot on the NACC All-Freshman Team.

Magallanes came in and made an immediate impact for Rockford as he played in all 18 matches this season. As the year progressed he began to take on a larger role, making 12 starts with 10 coming in the Regents’ last 11 matches. Magallanes also finished tied for fifth on the team with two goals, including the game-winner at Moody Bible.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL USF’S Alles cited: For the second straight week and fifth occasion this

season, St. Francis junior Leah Alles (Providence) was recognized as the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Volleyball Defender of the Week.

Alles averaged 5.91 digs a set in a 5-1 week for USF that included a 4-0 showing at the CCAC Crossover Tournament at Judson. She began the week with a 38-dig performance in the Saints’ four-set win over South Division leader Olivet Nazarene.

Then in four matches at the CCAC Crossover, she successfully handled 62 of 63 serve receptions while collecting 69 digs.

Strong passing and defense from Taylor Baranksi (18 digs) helped Minooka stay in system to run a consistent offense. The Indians planned to make the opposite happen for Plainfield Central, and they did.

“Our main focus was to keep Ashley Shook out of system because she’s the key to their success,” Perinar said.

“We focused on shutting her down, and then we played our game.”

The Indians served aggressively and targeted the younger Wildcat passers so that they would stay out of system. Since the ball was off the net for a majority of the night, senior setter Shook could not dominate the game like she’s known for.

Freshman Taylor Landfair was able to pick up some momentum in Game 2 and she ended the night with six kills.

Everything she did, however, Papesh and Perinar had an answer for.

Making it to that stage is an accomplishment in Central’s eyes. This year, the Wildcats pulled their claws out and fought throughout the season.

According to their coach, it’s just a testament to their program and it shows how strong their conference is becoming.

“It’s really exciting to see two teams in the SPC compete for the sectional championship,” Central coach Erik Vogt said. “It just shows how strong we are getting as a group. Throughout the course of the season, I could not be more proud of our team. They’ve done such a great job working hard together.”

The Wildcats should be proud of what they’ve done. They went from being 18-19 when Shook was a freshman and had a phenomenal three years with three conference titles, two conference Players of the Year, two

Central will graduate Shook, defensive specialist Annie Obradovich, middles Megan Brock and Sylvia Knight and outsides Kory Beard and Samantha Stelmachowski. They have a message for the underclassmen next year.

“Keep working hard. I know you guys will be great,” Shook said. “I’m

looking forward to see how they’re going to do. It means a lot that we’ve been able to come this far and to get these accomplishments. No one can take that away from us. It’s going to be with us as long as we live that we have won all of these things as a team and as a family.”

Minooka will face Normal Community in the 4A Normal Supersectional at 1 p.m. Saturday. The Indians’ are

planning on taking it one game at a time, and making their season even more memorable.

“It was a whole team effort. I’m so proud of us. I knew that we could do it,” Perinar said. “We all believed more than the other teams. We won this game. It was such a big game that I feel like we’re going to have to win this next one. We’re so excited. We want to win and go to state!”

ROMEOVILLE – Minooka’s girls volleyball team was disappointed after it fell in last year’s Lincoln-Way North Sectional title match to the host Phoenix.

And after losing in a sectional finals for the third time in six years, the Indians made winning a sectional championship one of their goals this season, and indeed they put themselves in a position to do that with a win over Joliet West on Tuesday.

As if coach Carrie Prosek’s squad needed much more motivation in Thursday’s Class 4A Romeoville Sectional finals, they got to play against rival Plainfield Central, who beat them Oct. 6 to assure itself of a thirdstraight Southwest Prairie Conference title.

Trying to capture its first sectional title since 1999 in order to secure a trip to Saturday’s 1 p.m. Normal Community Supersectional against the hosts, 33-6 Minooka turned in one of its most complete efforts of the season as it won 25-15, 25-20 over the Wildcats.

“Plainfield Central is kind of our rival and they’re always a team that we want to play because we know that we’ll get the best out of them,” senior Brooklyn Bachmann said. “We’ve been working so hard all week for this and it paid off. Once we got them out of system, Ashley Shook couldn’t really do her thing. I think we played our best game of the year.

“We’re all so close. Most of the girls on the team play on the same UNO team and we’ve known each other our whole lives. Since we’re all friends, we kind of blend. We know each others strengths are and when someone’s slacking in practice, we can tell them to pick it up and they won’t take it hard. We’re like a family.”

While some weren’t surprised to see Lincoln-Way North win last year’s sectional since it was playing its final matches in its young history, the Indians still were disappointed that they were unable to walk away with the sectional plaque.

“Last year was really a letdown since we all thought that we would go further than we did,” junior Taylor Baranski said. “So this year, we all aspired for a better finish. And beating a team that we lost to in conference in three makes this win amazing, I don’t know what else to say. We worked really hard in our practices and it definitely paid off.

“Both of the crowds were really electric and I think that brought

That made everything much more elevated and just made the game a lot more fun. We’ve stuck together as a team through everything. We don’t really get into fights and the fact that we’re really close friends in school and on the court makes us just work as a team.”

Big things were expected from this squad and the Indians lived up to their top-seeding in the sectional to earn a trip to the Elite Eight for just the second time in school history.

“This is honestly so exciting,” junior Holly Bonde said. “We’ve worked so hard and it feels so good to have all of your hard work pay off. Everything we’ve practiced and everything that

our coaches have told us, we’re finally putting it all together and that feels really good.

“We came out really determined today and didn’t start slow. We made sure that we didn’t let up at any point in the game. We have such talented players on this team and every single one of us is so competitive that when it all comes together, it’s a powerful force.”

Now the Indians hope to do something that they’ve never accomplished before, which is to capture a trophy in the sport. A victory on Saturday assures them of another trip to Normal next weekend, but this time it will involve an appearance in the state semifinals.

“Since we lost the sectional final last year, we came into this season saying that we were going to do everything that we had to do win the sectional,” junior Alli Papesh said. “Having everyone in gym have the same competitive spirit as you and wanting to win just as badly as you do is pretty amazing.

“Everyone came in and did their job today and even when someone did mess up, we had someone there to better the ball and that’s why we were successful. I definitely like our team’s competitiveness. We all want to win really badly and we all told each other at the beginning of the season that we’ll do everything we can to win.

That’s an amazing feeling.”

CUBS

Aftermath of Game 7 with Ron Coomer

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com Sitting in the Cubs’ radio booth at Progressive Field, adjacent to partner Pat Hughes, Ron Coomer was ready for the ultimate moment.

Two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning. Cubs leading Cleveland in Game 7 of the World Series, 8-7. Slowly hit ground ball to Kris Bryant. He charges in, fields it cleanly and makes the throw to first baseman Anthony Rizzo.

The 108-year drought had ended. The delirious Cubs are the world champions.

“I definitely was aware of that moment,” Coomer, a Lockport graduate and former Cubs third baseman, said during a phone conversation Thursday evening. “I had to take a step back and think about that moment. I told myself, ‘Just make sure you are in the moment. You can’t let your feelings override the moment.’ ” That’s indicative of the way Coomer approaches his work.

“As a broadcaster, I look at the history of great calls,” he said. “Jack Buck with, ‘We will see you tomorrow night,’ when my old teammate Kirby [Puckett] hit the home run, or [Kirk] Gibson’s homer when Buck said, ‘I can’t believe what I just saw.’ ” Coomer, rightfully so, said he feels good about how his and Hughes’ call of the historic World Series Game 7

played out.

“A World Series Game 7 absolutely is totally different than any other game I have called,” Coomer said.

“The anxiety before the game is more like it is as a player. The game couldn’t start fast enough for me.

“I was ecstatic that I was sitting next to Pat. For all the games he has called, that was his first Game 7, too.

He is so smooth, and he is able to capsulize the moment so well even though he has the same anxiety as the rest of us.

“It was so cool to be able to set the stage and call it with him. I thanked him on the air after the game. That’s how I felt.”

where champagne was spraying and flowing everywhere.

“We’ve known each other a long time,” Coomer said. “Work comes first, but when there’s a party to be had, you knew I would be there, I was going to be part of it. The champagne was flowing, there were lots of hugs.

“I talked to some of the guys like Anthony [Rizzo] and Rossi [David Ross]. [Owner] Tom Ricketts was right in front of me and I could hardly see him, my eyes were so full of champagne. I told him and told Crane Kenney, ‘Thank you.’ I celebrated with our clubhouse guys, too. Those times are special.”

Tears of joy

Everyone directly associated with the ballclub took the United Airlines charter back home. It arrived in Chicago at about 5 a.m.

“It was a wild flight home with the players and their families, all the kids,” Coomer said. “When we landed, they were wheeling our jet into the hangar and hundreds of United employees were there clapping for us.

That was one cool thing.

“Then we got on our bus, and there must have been seven, eight, maybe 10 fire engines on the two sides of us, and they’re shooting water over the top of the bus and blasting the sirens.

We’re all snapping pictures. They and the police gave us a really cool escort.”

Coomer was too emotional, still

There also were tears in the booth.

After Coomer and Hughes went back and forth with Len Kasper on the field, Coomer noticed his wife, Paula, in the booth, “crying like a baby.

Mitch Rosen, our executive producer, saw that. We had a good laugh.

The emotion in our booth was off the charts.”

Hughes asked Coomer some questions. “I choked through some of it, had some tears,” Coomer said. “Anybody who knows me knows I am emotional, but not usually like that.

“But, that’s OK, isn’t it? We hadn’t done this for 108 years.”

Then it was time for the broadcasters to head down to the clubhouse,

Back in Chicago

too fired up, to sleep. Accompanied

by Paula, he went back to his roots Thursday.

“Today was my day to do that,” he said. “Today, I went back to my old neighborhood where I grew up, to the old public park [Hale Park] right near Midway Airport where my dad used to fire fastballs at me, where we used to practice. The park was empty. I sat in one of the dugouts for a while. Places like that, it’s fun to go back to and just reminisce.

“I had a hot dog from the place we used to get them, and Paula had one, too. I had a half a shake – only a half, but I had to have that. Then I met my uncle and went out in the neighborhood and had a cold one or two with him.

“When it’s all said and done, you have to enjoy yourself with the people who were such a large part of your life.”

That one day of down time, along with a good night’s sleep, were perfect tonics for Coomer to recharge the battery. He will be back in the middle of another huge celebration Friday when the championship parade takes place in Chicago.

“I don’t have any idea how many people will be there, but it will be a lot,” Coomer said. “We’ll enjoy that, but we’re pretty much all out of gas.

“After that 4½-hour Game 7, I think I’m going to stop talking for a while.”

Alumni of JTHS after-school program brightening the future for current students

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

JOLIET – Erick Deshaun Dorris credits the power of social media.

Around Christmas 2015, Dorris started seeing posts from Joliet Township High School District 204 alumni of the classes of 2003 to 2006 who wanted to host a United in Excellence step show.

Who were these people, Dorris wondered.

“I was stunned,” Dorris said. “I had no idea United in Excellence continued into 2006. I had never met these people before in my life. Apparently they were touched by this program Cristi and I had started. I had no idea they kept going.”

United in Excellence was a JTHS step dance performance group that merged from two separate, but similar, JTHS groups – Sisters of Excellence and Brothers of Excellence – into one group.

Cristi A. Washington Gaither of Maryland started Sisters of Excellence at Joliet Central High School in 1996 with several other classmates: Chelsea Bates-Johnson of Florida, Crystal Edwards-Branch of Alabama, Coffee Summers of Joliet, Tashiana Parker of Joliet and Kahndra Foy-Franklin of Arizona.

“We were a group of young women that really wanted to have something positive with ourselves after school,” Gaither said. “Most of us were not athletic or in band.”

Gaither said her aunt belonged to a sorority and often took Gaither to its step dance shows.

“Seeing the camaraderie in those shows – I wanted that in high school,” Gaither said.

A year later, Dorris began Brothers of Excellence under the same premise. Both groups practiced at the Boys & Girls Club of Joliet. In 1998, the two groups merged into United with Excellence and became an official JTHS after-school program, Dorris said.

This moved the practices to Joliet Central High School, Gaither said, and under the leadership of Mattie Barnes, retired JTHS counselor and

Unbeknownst to Gaither and Dorris at the time, United in Excellence would continue performing annual steps shows at JTHS until 2004.

As excited as Dorris was to participate in a reunion step show, he wanted to expand the concept into a way to help current JTHS students interested in the performing arts. As alumni exchanged ideas, they set a goal to raise $50,000 in six months.

This money would be used to fund student performing arts programs, especially programs for black, Hispanic and under-served populations, Dorris said. The six-month campaign would culminate with a public step dance performance Nov. 12.

About 50 alumni are now involved.

So far, they have raised about $15,000.

“I’m really grateful for this network of people,” Dorris said.

Gaither feels the Nov. 12 step dance performance is as important as the fundraising.

“We’re bringing back a sense of unity in this town,” Gaither said. “Instead of always worrying about the negative going on in the streets, we want them to know that positive outlets are now available.”

A picture of a toad perched on a toadstool was deemed the winner – warts and all – in the October portion of the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s Preserve the Moment photo contest.

The photo featured varying shades of green, a mixture of textures and a splash of red to make the portrait come alive.

The acorn resting under the toadstool added a whimsical nature to the shot.

Kevin Keyes of Westmont snapped the photo at Rock Run Preserve in Joliet.

Honorable mentions for the month went to: David Kacynski of Plainfield for his close-up photo of a plains garter snake’s forked tongue at Four Rivers Environmental Education Center in Channahon; Lani Nishimura of Plainfield for a picture that captured raindrops delicately dripping from a leaf at Hammel Woods in Shorewood; Bonnie Wydra of Tinley Park for her fall photo of the breathtaking bridge at Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve in Crete Township; and Kevin Keyes for his picture of blue skies peeping through colorful fall maple leaves at Hickory Creek Barrens Nature Preserve in New Lenox.

Participants can continue to submit photos and compete in the November and December contest segments. One winner is chosen each month.

After the contest ends Dec. 31, monthly winners will be posted online, and members of the public will judge the photos and choose the overall contest winners.

Winning photos must be taken in a Will County forest preserve during the contest time period – through Dec. 31 – to be eligible for final judging.

Improve balance to lessen fall risk Dear Dr. K: I’m in my 70s. A friend of mine recently fell and broke her hip. I’d like to avoid a similar fate. What steps can I take to avoid falling?

Dear Reader: Falls send millions of people in the United States to emergency departments each year with broken hips and head injuries. Imbalance is a common cause of falls. Liz Moritz, a physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital, recommends several strategies to people looking to improve their balance.

• Physical therapy. Physical therapy for balance focuses on three things: the ability of the joints and brain to communicate, the balance system in the ear (the vestibular system) and vision. Exercises such as standing on one foot, first with the eyes open and then with the eyes closed, can help coordinate all three.

Joint flexibility exercises, walking and lower-extremity exercises also can help.

• Muscle strengthening. Core strength is very important for balance. If the abdominal muscles in your core are weak, they cannot support your legs when you’re walking. And if the muscles in your buttocks and hips aren’t strong, they won’t be able to propel you forward. Muscle strengthening exercises can help.

• Tai chi and yoga. Tai chi and yoga make you pay attention to the control and quality of movement, which improves your balance. In tai chi, you practice slow, flowing motions and shift your weight from one limb to another. Yoga incorporates a series of focused postures and breathing. Both exercises increase flexibility, range of motion, leg and core strength and reflexes.

• Vision correction. If your vision is impaired, your risk of falling increases

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff dramatically. If you’re having trouble with your vision, the fix may be as simple as a new eyeglasses prescription. Once you hit age 40, you should have regular, comprehensive, dilated eye exams.

• Assistive walking devices. A cane or a walker can complement your balance and give you more stability and confidence walking. Walkers are available with wheels intended for different terrain, lockable brakes, seats, baskets and other features such as headlights. Canes are available with various handgrips and bases.

Balance is one of those things we take for granted. In most of us, it becomes worse as we enter the last half of our lives. But we often don’t notice it – until suddenly we do.

I remember the moment when I noticed it. A light bulb in a high ceiling fixture needed replacing. So I did what I’d done before, though not for quite a while.

I got out the tall ladder and started to climb. Halfway up, it suddenly struck me: I wasn’t very steady. This was not a good idea. Indeed, it was a bad idea.

I called a young handyman who had done odd jobs for us and told him I had a small job for him. When he asked what it was, I said, “Change a light bulb.” He replied, “Well, this is a first for me, but if the money is good, I’ll be right over.”

Our daughter, a young Thai adult, is socially immature. Her mother and I are American citizens, and we recently brought her to the U.S. on a tourist visa to expose her to Western culture. While she was there, a suitor – who is nearly 40, divorced, with two small kids – manipulated her. After she returned to Thailand, she continued communicating with him on Facebook.

The guy flew to Thailand, secretly married her and left the country. He now is in the process of acquiring a spousal immigration visa, and we are desperately afraid of losing our daughter.

We’re not convinced she’s in love with him.

We think she’s just trying to escape her Tiger Mom, who insists on Thai culture, respect and adherence to family values.

We are considering appealing to the government requesting denial of the visa request. Your take? – Concerned Dad In Thailand Dear Concerned Dad: What this man did is reprehensible. Because you don’t know him, one has to wonder if anything he told your daughter about himself is true – including his age, marital status and whether he is a parent.

Since you didn’t mention your daughter’s age or if she is old enough to consent to marriage, consulting a lawyer to help you navigate through government channels would be a good place to start. You have my sympathy, and I wish you luck.

Dear Abby: I’ve been with “Derek” for two months. We’re both 14, and had an on-and-off friendship before it started.

Derek has a history of mental illness (including depression and anxiety). Lately, he has started talking about things like college plans and even marriage. He flatters me nonstop and says repeatedly how “perfect” and “goddess-like” I am, completely degrading himself in the process. He says he is “weak, stupid and ugly” compared to me.

I’m afraid to dump him because Derek has attempted suicide several times in the past and has hinted at doing it again if I do. I can’t say the words to him with that hanging over me.

His parents are unreachable, and he’s already on medication. Derek has refused counseling in the past. I’m really afraid, but I can’t stand staying in this relationship much longer.

Thoughts? – Afraid In Oregon Dear Afraid: If you haven’t spoken to your parents about Derek and his emotional blackmail, do it immediately. You are not responsible for his welfare – his family is. Derek appears to be in need of more professional help than he is receiving. Encourage him to think about positive things like college, but tell him you are too young for any kind of permanent exclusive relationship. Period. Once your parents know what’s going on, I’m sure they will back you up 100 percent.

your responsibilities. If you use your imagination, you will come up with a solution that will help get you back on track.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Travel, education, communication and professional improvement all will figure largely this year. Weigh the pros and cons and don’t let anyone put pressure on you. Decisions have to be made for the right reasons if you want things to pan out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – If you are realistic and aim to succeed, you will find many opportunities in the future. A steady pace and hardy strategy are all that’s required.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Call in favors and consider whom you can trust to take care of your requests. You can make improvements to your home as long as you

stay within your means.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An unusual opportunity will develop due to a conversation with someone who likes to think outside of the box. Your gut feeling will encourage you to jump in at ground level.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You need to keep your spending under control. You are better off saving for something you really want, not frittering away your money. Personal improvement should come from within, not from something you buy.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be reasonable when putting out the welcome mat or offering your time or money. You’ll be taken advantage of if you are too trusting or accommodating.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take care of your responsibilities and move on to the things you enjoy doing and the people you love to spend time with. A physical adventure will stimulate your senses.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You’ll possess much insight into what’s going on around you. Trust in yourself and your feelings, and follow through with your plans. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep your money in a safe place. If you are going to invest in anything or anyone, let it be yourself and personal improvements. A promise will lead to long-term plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – A partnership will take shape if you divvy up responsi-

bilities and set boundaries. Sharing the work and the costs will help you advance quickly. Your intuitive intelligence will lead to prosperity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – The less said, the better. Show how much you care by doing the things that make the people you love happy.

A change of scenery will lift your spirits.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Make plans to engage in social events or inspirational meetings. You will be offered information that can help you advance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Protect your assets, and update personal papers. You will face opposition if you opt to do your own thing. Think about what’s best for you, and don’t fold under pressure.

George Eliot, a 19th-century English novelist whose real name was Mary Ann Evans, wrote, “Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.”

In bridge, if you have to change suits, do it rapidly. In today’s deal, South is in five hearts. West leads the spade king. South wins with his ace, draws trumps in two rounds (West discarding a low club), and returns a spade. After East completes a highlow with his doubleton, what should West do?

In the bidding, North’s jump to three hearts was pre-emptive. With game-invitational values (or more), he would have cue-bid three clubs.

East’s raise to four clubs was brave (especially given that he had no singleton or void), but the vulnerability was in his favor. Then, when South bid game, West sacrificed in five clubs. Since South did not have a short suit, probably he should have doubled. If South had obtained a diamond ruff (which would have been a tough assignment), the contract would have gone down three.

At trick five, West was not sure what to do. If East had the club ace, leading that suit would have likely resulted in down two. Here, though, it would have cost the contract.

Instead, West shifted to a diamond, which gave the defenders two spades and one diamond. But if it turned out that South had the ace-queen of diamonds, when West got in with his spade queen, he would have tried a club. Assuming East had the ace, this defense would have cost only an undertrick.

If something else has occurred to you, tune in tomorrow.
