Follow our local election coverage Sometimes the best intentions can fall short.

That happened this week here. And I heard about it, which makes me happy.

Because it tells me you care, even if it comes in the form of a profanity-laced voicemail.

The Cubs won the World Series; you know that. Our paper Thursday didn’t have the final score; you probably know that, too.

The other details are probably immaterial.

We value the Cubs’ title and both its news and commemorative value, for sure. You can see that with our coverage, the poster in today’s paper, the commemorative book that you can purchase at shawurl.com/cubswin or the special Cubs commemorative section that will be published in next week’s Sunday paper.

But on that night, like any other night, we had to send our paper at deadline. We share both a press and newspaper carriers with other newspapers, and

Jon Styf along that process things broke down and many papers arrived late.

I apologized about that early Thursday on TheHerald-News.com and do so again here.

As we move on from celebrations, however, take note that our priority remains covering our local communities on a daily basis and also giving you broader local stories for perspective on the news across the area.

That coverage will be especially important as Tuesday’s elections arrive.

Today’s paper is just an example of how we’re trying to provide you with all the information that you will need come Tuesday.

And, despite some of the opinions expressed in calls I have received, we have no stake in who wins. I’ve heard

the paper being accused of being biased toward either side of the aisle. But we aren’t. We’re simply here to tell you what happened and lend perspective.

That is where you will find that our coverage shines.

If you’re still making decisions about who to vote for in the local races, visit www.TheHerald-News.com/election-central for articles and questionnaires on this year’s candidates.

And on Tuesday night, you’ll be able to follow along with a live feed of results of the area races and referendums on TheHerald-News.com.

In Wednesday’s paper, you’ll find the most updated results possible on all of those races. Then we’ll come back in Thursday’s paper and do our best to tell you what it all means.

Because we know that is what’s important to you, our readers.

Change your clocks; plus tips to ‘fall back’ into fall Today marks annual daylight saving time shift The HERALD–NEWS Daylight saving time ended today, and we set our clocks back an hour.

Today is also a good opportunity to check a few things around your home that make it safer, as recommended by the Federal Emergency Management

Agency: • Verify your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors work. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for testing the equipment to ensure it is functioning properly. Invest in new detectors if they’re near or past the manufacturer’s recommended replacement age.

• Check your emergency kit. Ensure you have an adequate supply of nonperishable food, water and medications to last your family at least 72 hours, along with a flashlight, batteries, cash and

first-aid supplies.

• Confirm your insurance coverage and home inventory list are up-to-date.

Review your insurance policies. Keep a written and visual – videotaped or photographed – record of all major household items and valuables, even those stored in basements, attics or garages. Create files that include serial numbers and store receipts for major appliances and electronics. Have jewelry and artwork appraised.

These documents are important when filing insurance claims.

CLERKS PREPARE FOR TUESDAY Options remain to beat Election Day crowds at polling places

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Tuesday is Election Day, and a new president will be elected.

While opinions vary on whom to elect, consensus among county clerks handling the voting process is that voter turnout will be as high this year as in 2012, if not higher.

Will County bought additional poll books and hired more election judges in an effort to keep lines at polling places short, or nonexistent, but it’s difficult to tell what the turnout will be Tuesday, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said.

“We’re hoping to decrease the lines [compared with previous elections], but we don’t have a crystal ball to tell what the same-day registration will be like,” Schultz Voots said. “It is a presidential

election, so all clerks have concern with that.”

Voters can visit TheWillCountyClerk.com to prepare to vote. The website allows voters to check remaining locations for early voting to beat the Tuesday crowd. Several polling places are open Sunday and Monday.

The website also has a “polling place lookup” tab. After clicking it, residents can type in their address and view their polling place and a sample ballot with

races in which they can vote.

Schultz Voots is asking residents who don’t use a computer or smartphone to have a friend, neighbor or family member show them the information online. Staff of the clerk’s office will do their best to take calls regarding the election, but there is an extremely high volume of calls this time of year.

It’s important for people to know they’ll be voting for candidates in only one Will County Board district, Schultz

Voots said. The district race residents will vote in is determined by their address.

Schultz Voots said residents should be reassured by the Will County voting system because it uses only paper ballots.

“We have a paper trail to make sure everything is right,” she said. “It’s huge for the county, and I think it puts trust in the system.”

Schultz Voots also reminds residents that campaign signs, stickers, hats, shirts, etc., are not allowed within 100 feet of any of the county’s 300 polling places in an effort to make them a campaign-free zone. The presence of campaign materials in polling areas is against the law.

Trump and Madigan: How will they affect local races?

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com The adage is that all politics are local, but local elections Tuesday will be influenced by what is happening in the presidential race and the Springfield power struggle.

The presidential election typically has a big impact on countywide races, with the winning candidate pulling along local candidates of the same party.

Will Donald Trump hurt or help?

That may be the biggest question of the night.

Local party leaders have diametrically opposite views on how the presidential race between Trump and Hillary Clinton will affect local races down the ticket. Both revolve around the Trump factor.

Demand for Trump signs is high, and it’s bringing in people the Republican Party normally don’t see, said Kathy Havel, chairwoman for the Will County Republican Party.

“We have seen more voters com-

ing out looking for signs, wanting to help,” Havel said. “I think there’s a general feeling that something has to be changed in government.”

Will County Democratic Party Chairman Scott Pyles said he expects Republican voter turnout to be dampened because of Trump, and anticipates more Latino voters to come out and vote for Democrats because of the positions of and statements made by the Republican at the top of the ticket.

“I’m very curious to see what the Trump effect is going to be,” Pyles said.

“Is he going to suppress turnout for Republicans? Or is he going to increase turnout for Democrats?”

Tuesday will tell.

And Trump won’t be the only outside influence on local elections.

In legislative districts where there are contests, Republicans have tried to link Democratic incumbents with Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan.

Pyles said most voters won’t make the same connection.

“I don’t think that line of attack

works,” he said. “I think they associate the speaker with Chicago. I don’t think it affects the local political races.”

Whether it works may be tested most in the 49th Senate District, where voters have received a barrage of mailings associating state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, with Madigan.

“I agree that there are a lot of people who don’t make the connection, but they’re starting to because it’s being promoted,” Havel said.

Michelle Smith, president of the Plainfield School District 202 Board, is the Republican challenger against Bertino-Tarrant.

Havel said she believes Smith’s votes will come more from her merit as a candidate. But the Madigan connection is part of another theme in the election, she said.

“I think a lot of it has to do with people knowing we need change,” she said.

Democrats in turn have tried to associate Smith with Trump – one more sign that not all politics are local, especially this year.

• POLLING PLACES

Continued from page 3 goes smoothly.

“We’ve done everything we possibly can,” she said. “It’s up to everybody to do their jobs. But we’re also counting on residents to have patience. Our election judges do a fabulous job, but they do have a lot of responsibilities at polling places.”

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com The big question Tuesday is who will be our next president, but some local contests should be suspenseful as well.

Locally, the big question is whether Laurie McPhillips can defeat Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr., who is seeking his fourth term.

Walsh may be the biggest name in Will County politics, having served as a state senator and County Board member before becoming county executive.

McPhillips, a Plainfield Republican, has won a countywide office before, having served a term as recorder of deeds, and hopes voters are looking for a change.

All but one of the other five countywide races on the ballot feature Democratic incumbents.

Democrat Pam McGuire’s decision not to run again means there will be a new circuit clerk. Democrat Andrea Lynn Chasteen faces Republican Marlene M. Carlson.

Will County Board

Nine of 13 County Board districts are on the ballot. Party leaders will watch to see whether Republicans can hold on to their board majority. However, two Democratic seats in District 10 are at risk Tuesday.

Incumbents Steve Wilhelmi and Joe Babich are retiring, and the voter makeup of the district is considered a competitive mix of Republicans and Democrats.

District 10 runs through sections of Joliet, Troy and Plainfield townships and extends to the Kendall County border. The Republicans in the race are Gloria Dollinger and David Talarico.

The Democrats are Tyler Marcum and Joe Carlasare. All are from Joliet.

State Legislature

Grundy County deals with skepticism

Grundy County Clerk Kay Olson said her main concern with this election season has been the skepticism of some voters. She said people are hearing of voting procedures from other states and assuming it’s the same for Illinois.

“That’s part of the problem with listening to national news,” Olson said. “There are different election laws in different states. Something in Wisconsin, for example, is not necessarily allowed here in Illinois.”

Olson said there have been a lot of questions about voting machines and the integrity of the election. Her office is working hard to assure voters the machines are the same as those

Local races worth watching

Residents of Will County cast early ballots Thursday at the Will County Office Building in downtown Joliet. for previous elections, and they’re not hooked up to the internet.

Voters are given several opportunities to review their ballot before voting on the touch screens, Olson said.

Grundy County residents can go to grundyco.org, scroll down and click “Election Information” to locate their

polling place through an interactive map, as well as find candidates and view a sample 2016 ballot and past election information.

“Things are going smoothly,” Olson said. “We’re busy, and it’s good to be busy. That means people are voting.”

Many voters will notice no contests in the state legislative races on their ballots, a development widely believed to be the result of district maps drawn to favor one party or the other.

Among legislative districts that include parts of Will County, there are 15 House districts up for election, and only four are contested. There are seven Senate districts up for election, and two are contested. The 49th Senate District, however, is hotly contested between state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, and Republican Michelle Smith, the president of the Plainfield School District 202 board. Referendums include one for voters in the Laraway School District, who will be asked to approve bonding authority for a new school.

Protester files hiring complaint over Water’s Edge construction

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet resident has filed a complaint over the hiring process for the Water’s Edge construction project.

Steve Broadway’s complaint follows a protest he helped organize last month at the construction site, where the Housing Authority of Joliet is replacing the now-demolished Des Plaines Garden Homes apartment project with a mixed-income housing development.

Broadway’s complaint against the authority and the general contractor on the job was filed last week with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Broadway contends that he was given the runaround while trying to apply for a job and that people at the Housing Authority ignored his résumé.

“I just want to work,” Broadway said. “To make my point known, I have to go through all this.”

Broadway and about a dozen others at the protest Oct. 14 contended that the project was not abiding by federal Section 3 rules aimed at creating opportunities for low-income residents and contractors who live in public housing or in communities surrounding a construction project.

“I live a stone’s throw away from

Steve Broadway is seen Oct. 14 at a protest he helped organize at the Water’s Edge construction site in Joliet. where that project is going on,” Broadway said.

The Housing Authority and Carlson Construction, the general contractor, have said they are following Section 3 rules.

Mark Carlson with Carlson Construction said Broadway’s complaint against the company is misdirected.

Carlson said his company has not

directly hired anyone to work on Water’s Edge yet and is contracting with subcontractors, who typically hire out of union halls, to do the work that has been done so far.

“When we do hire someone to work out there, we will give careful consideration to any and all qualified people,” Carlson said.

What role the Housing Authority

could have in hiring is unclear.

The authority does have a Section 3 officer, and Broadway said he brought his application to that office.

Officials at the Housing Authority did not return several calls seeking comment.

Broadway’s complaint ultimately could be investigated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the Illinois Department of Human Rights.

The Department of Human Rights has received 14 allegations of hiring discrimination against the Housing Authority over the last several years, said Michael Theodore, spokesman for the department.

“It is not unusual to have a large number of charges filed against a government agency,” Theodore added.

The authority, meanwhile, has scheduled Section 3 training sessions Nov. 14 for low-income residents and contractors at the Jacob Henry Mansion, 20 S. Eastern Ave., Joliet. A session for low-income business owners will be 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. A session for residents will be 5 to 6 p.m.

According to a leaflet on the event, space is limited and those who want to attend should reserve space by Nov. 11 by calling 815-727-0611, ext. 155, or by emailing ljohnson@hajoliet.org.

We use the laser with tremendous success for such conditions as warts, fungus and ingrown toenails, Morton’s neuroma (nerve tumors), seed corns, plugged sweat glands, and scar tissue.

Braidwood to hold recycling event at Reed-Custer High School

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – The city of Braidwood will hold a household hazardous waste and electronics recycling event from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Braidwood City Clerk Sue Grygiel said there have been many questions from residents about how to dispose of electronics, creating a demand for an event such as Saturday’s, which will be hosted by the Will County Land Use Department’s Resource Recovery and Energy Division.

Reed-Custer Community Unit School District 255 approved the use of Reed-Custer High School’s north parking lot for the event, Grygiel said.

The drop-off is open to Will County residents only.

Residents may drop off items

If you go n WHAT: Braidwood household hazardous waste, motor oil and electronics recycling event n WHEN: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday n WHERE: Reed-Custer High School north parking lot, 249 Comet Drive, Braidwood n INFO: Call 815-727-8834 or visit willcountygreen.com. such as personal computers, laptops, monitors, computer equipment, TVs (limit of two), VCR or DVD players, gaming systems, stereos, household chemicals, auto fluids, used oil, paints, stains, fluorescent lightbulbs, garden chemicals, microwaves and more.

The vehicle unloading order will be hazardous waste first and electronic

items second.

Grygiel said the county contacted Braidwood about having an event.

“We were at the top of the list,” Grygiel said. “The [Resource Recovery and Energy Division] had some money they didn’t think they’d get to use. So we kind of fell into it.”

In October, the city of Joliet became the fifth recycling site opened by Will County after having to shut down 13 sites earlier this year when a vendor prematurely ended its contract with the county. Other sites are in Lockport, New Lenox Township, Romeoville and Peotone.

Grygiel didn’t know whether Braidwood will become a recurring host site, and the Will County Land Use Department’s Dean Olson and Marta Keane were unavailable Friday for comment.

“We were at the top of the list. The [Resource Recovery and Energy Division] had some money they didn’t think they’d get to use. So we kind of fell into it.”

The HERALD–NEWS Two good Samaritans stopped to aid the occupants of a vehicle that caught fire Wednesday on Interstate 55 near Plainfield.

A Ford Taurus was traveling north about 11:25 p.m. on the interstate, just south of Route 126, when it struck the center median, crossed over three lanes, traveled off the road into a ditch and hit a tree, according to a news release from Illinois State Police District 5.

After crashing, the car caught fire,

which is when two people in the area stopped to assist the motorist, removing an injured passenger before the Ford became fully engulfed in flames.

Both the driver, a 22-year-old Elmwood Park man, and the passenger, a 26-year-old Chicago man, were taken to an area hospital to be treated for injuries, the news release stated.

The driver, Dominic Baglieri, was charged with improper lane use, according to the news release.

Public Notice Proposed Renewal of the Clean Air Act Permit Program Permit Veolia Water North America Operating Services, LLC Veolia Water North America Operating Services, LLC has requested that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) renew the Clean Air Act Permit Program (CAAPP) permit regulating air emissions from its facility located at 25915 South East Frontage Road in Channahon. The facility operates an industrial inorganic chemicals plant. Based on its review of the application, the Illinois EPA has made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review.

The Illinois EPA is accepting comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight December 6, 2016. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Rachel Stewart, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, 1021 N. Grand Ave. East PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9506, phone 217/782-2224, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, Rachel.Stewart@illinois.gov.

The repositories for the draft permit documents are at the Illinois EPA’s offices at 9511 West Harrison in Des Plaines, 847/294-4000 and 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you). Copies of the draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa.gov/caa-permitting/region-5-electronicpermits. Copies of the documents will be made available upon request.

The CAAPP is Illinois’ operating permit program for major sources of emissions, as required by Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act). The conditions of CAAPP permits are enforceable by the public, as well as by the USEPA and Illinois EPA. In addition to implementing Title V of the Act, CAAPP permits may contain “Title I Conditions,” i.e., conditions established under the permit programs for new and modified emission units, pursuant to Title I of the Act. The permit contains no T1 conditions that were established in previously issued permits. The permit, also, contains no T1 conditions that are being newly established or revised by this application.

The beginning of this public comment period also serves as the beginning date of the USEPA 45 day review period, provided the USEPA does not seek a separate proposed period.

Decompression Therapy De-Stresses Backs SPONSORED BY

Ostir Physical Medicine

By Gina Kraman When the pressure is off, everything is better -- especially lower back pain. Lumbar decompression therapy is a non-surgical option to relieve back pain, which is one of the top reasons patients visit the doctor, says Dr. Frank Ostir, Ostir Physical Medicine in Joliet.

Lumbar decompression therapy gently stretches and changes the position of the spine through specialized equipment. The therapy unloads pressure from the cushioning spinal discs, which, as a domino effect, then takes pressure off the irritated nerves to bring pain relief.

Heavy lifting, poor posture, previous sports or car accident injuries can lead to painful ruptured discs and pulled muscles.

According to Ostir, “The therapy isolates damaged or deteriorating discs, while the oxygen, fluid, and nutrient flow to those areas is increased.”

His practice supports the “Lordex Lumbar

Spine Program, a painless system developed to restore spinal stability and relieve pain,” he says.

“We can angle and position the Lordex Decompression Unit to focus on the exact lesion, disc, or vertebrae causing the pain.

The second machine, the Lordex RX-1, is a lumbar extension machine to immobilize the lower body to exercise the lumbar muscles, move the joints, and re-educate the neuromuscular system.”

Done fully clothed, each treatment lasts 45-minutes. The program requires about 25 sessions done throughout four to six weeks.

Ostir explains, “Most patients experience pain relief within 10 days of treatment. At a minimum, we expect patients to be at least 3050% improved after the tenth visit. Clinical results indicate that 80% or more of persons with low back pain could get relief through the program” which may be covered by insurance.

“In contrast, the more traditional treatment can include drugs and surgery. However, spinal decompression is a non-invasive alternative, treating arm, leg, neck and back pain associated with herniated, bulging and degenerative spinal disc disease.”

CHICAGO – A nurse-turned-law clerk is the only candidate listed on next week’s general election ballot for an open Chicago-area judgeship, even after she was fired from her courthouse job and criminally charged for donning a black robe and presiding over traffic cases that should have been heard by a real judge.

Legal observers say there’s no obvious reason Rhonda Crawford was able to easily win the Democratic primary in March over two more experienced jurists who, unlike her, received good reviews by legal associations.

Illinois is one of several states where party-affiliated candidates run for vacant judicial seats. Critics say the system often renders candidate records irrelevant and means races are decided more by clout, identity politics and sheer luck. Superficial factors, such as the origin of a candidate’s last name, gender or ballot position, can also end up swaying uninformed voters.

About 30,000 judges across the U.S. hear millions of cases each year ranging from traffic to murder, but there is no commonly accepted best practice for how to select these public officials. Reformers say imperfect systems sometimes provide openings for sub-

PAC targets GOP candidates for southern Illinois court

MOUNT VERNON – A political action committee largely funded by civil litigation attorneys has amassed nearly $1 million for a late advertising push against two Republicans seeking seats on the state appellate court for southern Illinois.

Fair Courts Now formed on Oct. 11 and raised about $930,000 as of Wednesday, mostly from trial attorneys in St. Louis and Metro East suburbs, the Belleville News-Democrat reported.

The PAC’s expenditures consisted largely of mailings and ad buys opposing incumbent 5th District Appellate Court Justice Randy Moore of Carterville and Madison County Circuit Judge John Barberis. Both are Republicans.

Attorney Rhonda Crawford stands alongside her attorney, Victor Henderson, on Sept.

Crawford, a former law clerk who was fired for impersonating a judge, now is running to become one, and critics say her expected victory is a product of Illinois’ system for filling judicial vacancies. standard judicial candidates to sneak through.

Critics say Crawford is a case in point.

The 45-year-old heard several cases on Aug. 11 after her Cook County primary victory, telling reporters later that she saw it as part of her preparation for becoming a judge. When word

spread about what she’d done, she was fired from her $57,000-a-year position and charged with official misconduct, which carries a maximum five-year prison term.

The Illinois Supreme Court on Oct. 31 temporarily suspended her law license during civil disciplinary proceedings. That means even if she wins

The top Fair Courts Now donors are law firms. Gori Julian & Associates of Edwardsville provided $235,000, while both Simmons Hanly Conroy of Alton and Maune Raichle Hartley French & Mudd of St. Louis contributed $250,000.

The three firms specialize in representing plaintiffs in mesothelioma lawsuits against companies that used or made asbestos, a mineral used in construction materials or insulation.

A jury found Green-Hosey guilty on Aug. 31 in the January 2014 killing of Arin Williams. Prosecutors said Green-Hosey and his brother arranged to buy marijuana from Williams, but decided to rob him instead.

His brother, Jaquan Green-Hosey, now 22, pleaded guilty in February to first-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 years.

Pumpkin recycling picks up in Chicago suburbs

CHICAGO – Don’t throw away that shriveled up jack-o’-lantern just yet.

The Daily Herald reported that dozens of communities in the Chicago suburbs are holding pumpkin recycling events on Saturday. The pumpkins are then composted.

That process helps the environment and improves the soil.

Lake County is collecting pumpkins for the second year. This year’s event will include games such as pumpkin bowling.

Tuesday’s election as expected over a write-in opponent, she would have to be cleared of wrongdoing before she could be sworn-in to the $180,000-a-year job that’s seen as a gateway to higher court posts.

With no consensus on judicial selection, systems vary by state and sometimes even by county within the same state. Most states have ended up mixing aspects of several different systems that have fallen in and out of favor every couple of decades, said William Raftery, an analyst at the National Center for State Courts.

“You still have that (1800s) Jacksonian idea that every official should be elected – from dog catcher and coroner,” he said. “But people also think judges shouldn’t be thrown off the bench just for making an unpopular ruling ... that judges are supposed to be experts in law, not really good politicians.”

Four other states – Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Pennsylvania – largely use partisan elections with features similar to Illinois, according to the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law; 16 hold nonpartisan elections, 14 use strict merit selection and a few depend on gubernatorial or legislative appointments. Many states use one system for lower-court judges and another for appellate judges.

175-foot grain elevator to be demolished in East Peoria

EAST PEORIA – A demolition company plans to knock down a 175-foot-tall concrete-and-rebar grain elevator in East Peoria by chipping away at its base with the bucket of the excavator.

Property owner Tyler Siebert told the (Peoria) Journal Star no explosives will be used to knock down the grain elevator on Sunday. Siebert said the city gave him 15 days to demolish the structure in October and then halted the process last week when city officials expressed concern about the safety of the operation. Those concerns were satisfied Thursday.

A 500-foot perimeter around the demolition site will be set up by police. Residents in the area are encouraged to stay indoors and keep doors and windows closed because of an expected plume of dust.

Man who kept woman captive was troubled teen In a statement, Morrissey’s

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – When he was 15 and facing charges he raped a neighbor after forcing her into his home at gunpoint and tying her up, Todd Christopher Kohlhepp’s father told court officials the only emotion the teen was capable of showing was anger and a neighbor called him a “devil on a chain.”

That was his only known serious brush with the law before this week, when Spartanburg County deputies brought to his property by the last known cellphone signals of two people found a woman chained in a container for two months. It was an abrupt, but perhaps not unexpected, turn for a man who spent his 20s in prison.

Dozens of officers continued to search Saturday for any additional bodies after the woman told investigators Kohlhepp claimed to have killed at least four others.

Trump pressing into Democratic territory

By LISA LERER and STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – Fighting as a party of one, Donald Trump vowed Saturday to press into Democratic strongholds over the campaign’s final days as Hillary Clinton looked to an army of A-list celebrities and politicos to defend her narrowing path to the presidency.

The divisive Republican outsider conceded he was largely on his own – even as he promised to march into Minnesota, a state that hasn’t backed a GOP presidential nominee in more than four decades.

“Hillary Clinton has all of these celebrities and failed politicians out campaigning for her,” a defiant Trump declared in North Carolina, one of four battleground states he was visiting on Saturday. “I just have me, but I have my family.”

Responding to Trump’s push, Democrat Clinton announced plans to devote valuable attention to Michigan, another unlikely battleground where both she and President Obama planned to campaign on Monday.

The Democratic nominee faced dark skies Saturday in Florida, fighting intense rain and wind in a key battleground state before a Pennsylvania appearance with pop singer Katy Perry. Clinton was preparing to campaign Sunday with basketball superstar Lebron James, having shared the stage the night before with music diva Beyoncé and hip hop mogul husband Jay Z. “My personal favorite part – Beyoncé had her backup singers in pantsuits” Clinton said with a laugh in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

The final-days scramble highlighted sharp

differences between the campaigns in a turbulent 2016 campaign season.

Backed by President Barack Obama and her party’s political elite, Clinton spent much of the last year fighting to unify Obama’s coalition of minorities and younger voters, aided at times

by Trump’s deep unpopularity among women in both parties.

Trump has courted working-class white voters on the strength of his own celebrity, having scared off many would-be Republican allies during a campaign marred by extraordinary gaffes and self-created crises. Just four weeks ago, a video emerged in which a married Trump admitted to kissing women and grabbing their genitalia without their permission.

Even with the damaging video, Clinton faced extraordinary challenges of her own in recent days after the FBI confirmed plans to renew its focus on the former secretary of state’s email practices. The development is seen as particularly threatening for Clinton in states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire that don’t offer early voting.

At least 41 million Americans across 48 states have already cast ballots, according to an Associated Press analysis. That’s significantly more votes four days before Election Day than voted early in the 2012.

House Speaker Paul Ryan campaigned Saturday alongside Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence – a rare show of unity, but not with Trump himself. The speaker encouraged Republicans to “come home” to support Trump in Ryan’s home-state Wisconsin, ignoring for a day his icy relationship with the Republican nominee.

Supreme Court reinstates Ariz. ballot collection ban

By BOB CHRISTIE

The Associated Press PHOENIX – The U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday reinstated an Arizona law that makes it a felony to collect early ballots, stepping into a contentious political issue days before the presidential election and dealing a blow to Democratic get out the vote efforts.

The unsigned order from the nation’s highest court overturns an appeals court decision from a day earlier that blocked the new law and drew celebration from Democrats. Groups immediately launched renewed effort to help voters deliver their ballots to the polls.

The Supreme Court decision called into question what happens to ballots that have already been legally collected from voters in the approximately 20 hours that the law was blocked.

Arizona filed an emergency appeal hours after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the law Friday. Justice Anthony Kennedy referred the case to the entire Supreme Court, and the court issued a brief order overturning the appeals court. The 9th Circuit will now consider the law in a January session that it set when it blocked the law.

The high court decision is unusual because it takes at least five votes to issue such an order and the court is split 4-4 along conservative-liberal lines after the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia earlier this year. That means at least one of the court’s liberals agreed to allow the law to go back into effect.

The Arizona Secretary of State’s office urged groups that collected ballots during that time to turn them in Monday morning. County elections officials have said they lack authority to enforce the law and any valid ballot they receive through any means would be counted.

“All of those ballots, regardless of whether or not they were collected as a part of a lot of ballots, they were all going to be counted anyway. There was never any danger to voters,” said Matt Roberts, spokesman for Secretary of State Michele Reagan.

But state Republican Party Chairman Robert Graham said the Democratic groups should return the ballots to voters. The party has trained poll watchers to observe people who return multiple ballots and report them to election officials.

Dear Mr. Berko: I own a small tool and die shop with 61 employees. Most people have no idea of the mountains of government (state and federal) regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Fair Employment Practices Agency and other agencies.

There are rules for everything from health care to gender discrimination to toilet use. Last year, we paid the law firm that handles our corporate work $87,000 just to complete the paperwork certifying we’re in compliance with all these rules, edicts and regulations.

And we paid our accounting firm $182,000 last year to prepare our tax returns, to handle our payroll, to handle our health insurance deductions, to make sure our pension plan complies with federal requirements, and to distribute quarterly reports to each employee.

Then every year, I have to renew my numerous city, county and state licenses and show we are in compliance with all regulations.

It’s getting worse every year. I fantasize about moving my company to Canada because sometimes I think we have the worst bureaucratic government in the world. I’m not looking for answers, but writing this letter has let me blow off steam. I feel better

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko already. – GS, Detroit Dear GS: Wow! Thanks for your well-composed, eye-opening threepage letter, which you ought to send to the editor of the newspaper in which you read my column.

Please recognize that numerous government agencies employ tens of thousands of Americans who provide essential paperwork for the government’s growing food chain. These regulations quietly feed obambulating bureaucracies that in 2014 cost consumers $1.88 trillion, or $15,000 per household. Get used to it! It will become hugely bigger in the coming decades. Forget about Canada – a regulatory hell that would drive your brain bonkers bigly.

Accept the fact that government will continue to grow and become increasingly involved in our personal and business lives. It’s the unannounced goal of government to control as many resources as possible and to continue expanding – with Social Security, education, farm subsidies, Medicare, Medicaid, food programs, mineral and drilling rights, retail and investment banking, public housing,

retirement accounts, interest rates et al. – its supervision and its role in our lives.

The government believes that it can allocate these resources more effectively and fairly than you can. And sometimes it does! However, many Americans (including me) object to our metamorphosis, and as we slowly segue into a nanny state, capitalism has begun failing most Americans.

Like it or not, it’s happening and it’s the future – not ours but the future of our children.

It’s a very simple concept. By relieving citizens of many responsibilities, the government will cause Americans to look toward it for the comfort and care they won’t be able to provide for themselves.

Some members of Congress (Bernie Sanders and toadies) have floated the idea of a guaranteed government-paid income for everyone. It may happen in a generation or two. Some Americans might disagree and object to the government’s growing participation in our lives.

But we must recognize that an increasingly larger number of Americans are having difficulty earning a living, making their mortgage payments, paying their health care costs, saving for retirement, paying their auto loans, paying for college tuition, paying their utility bills, settling

payday advances and putting food on their tables.

They need help, and folks like us haven’t stepped up to the plate in sufficient numbers to help. Like it or not, because these folks are American citizens, we recognize their “unalienable rights.” And as Thomas Jefferson wrote, “to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” That may sound hokey, but it’s the foundation of what was America’s greatness – and what some say will be its eventual demise.

Many criticize the government, claiming we have the worst government in the industrialized world. We may, but it’s the best worst government in the world. The governments of Europe, South America and Asia make America’s government look like a model of efficiency.

Winston Churchill said it best: “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of its blessings.

The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of its miseries.” Because there are so many uninformed voters, you get the politicians they deserve.

OPINIONS Kirk’s comment about Duckworth all about race U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk says he isn’t endorsing fellow Republican Donald Trump because he says he’s a bigot, but Kirk exhibited his own prejudices when he attacked the patriotism of the family of his opponent, U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth.

In 2004, Duckworth lost her legs in the Iraq War when a rocket-propelled grenade hit the helicopter she was piloting. And during an Oct. 27 debate, she spoke about VIEWS the human costs of war.

“My family has served Scott this nation in uniform, Reeder going back to the Revolution. I’m a daughter of the American Revolution. I’ve bled for this nation,” she said.

“But I still want to be there in the Senate when the drums of war sound,” she added. “Families like mine are the ones that bleed first. But let’s make sure the American people understand what we are engaging in, and let’s hold our allies accountable because we can’t do it all.”

Kirk responded, “I had forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington.”

Duckworth’s mother is from Thailand and her father’s family has lived in the United States for many generations.

Kirk later apologized to Duckworth via Twitter.

Not classy. Kirk will deny it, but his remarks are all about race. It harkens back to 2008 when the “birther” movement was born. Folks questioned whether the U.S.born Barack Obama was eligible to be president because his father was from Kenya.

We rarely heard anyone suggest that Obama’s opponent, John McCain, wasn’t eligible even though he was born outside the 50 United States. (His father, a U.S. naval officer, was stationed in what is now Panama along with his wife when McCain was born in 1936.)

The Constitution requires a candidate be a “natural-born citizen” to be eligible to be president, a qualification most legal scholars agree includes individuals born abroad to an American parent or someone born in the U.S. In January, Trump suggested that his GOP rival Ted Cruz wasn’t a natural-born citizen because he was born in Canada to a U.S.-born mother and Cuban-born father.

So what do Cruz, Obama and Duckworth have in common? They each had a parent born overseas and have had their own devotion to this country called into question based on that fact. But it goes beyond that. It is their “otherness” that is the dog whistle in these fights.

The parents in question weren’t of immediate European descent, leaving Trump, Kirk and others of their ilk free to attack their children’s patriotism.

Don’t believe me? Well, how often have you heard anyone attack Trump for having a mother born in Scotland?

To the Editor: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” so says the familiar phrase coined by Elbert Hubbard in 1915.

The connotation is, when you are given lemons it can be a negative and bitter experience.

However, with a little bit of ingenuity a person can take what was negative and transform it into lemonade, which is quite pleasant

Maybe we should try something different Well, it looks like democracy as we know it will be ending in a couple days.

One way or another, either a lying liar or a sexist imbecile will be running the show next year. And after that, it’s anyone guess where we’ll end up.

I guess we shouldn’t complain; America’s had a pretty good run. Two hundred and forty years of uninterrupted constitutional rule is pretty good.

Hell, we invented this form of government, after all.

But all good things must come to end, even democratic republics. Or constitutional republics. Or constitutional democracies. Or whatever we are.

So it’s time to start shopping for a new form of government, for a new form of “ocracy.” But don’t worry, there’s plenty out there to choose from.

I’m sure we can find something else that will fit the bill.

Here’s a few options to consider: • Plutocracy: In a plutocracy, government is run by the wealthy, where an elite ruling class of the super-rich – you know, billionaires who made their money through shady business deals

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus or shady foundations – call the shots.

Umm, on second thought, that’s kind of what we have now.

• Corporatocracy: That’s government controlled by corporations and corporate interests. Where government policy is determined by big business and their bottom lines. Yeah … again, pretty much what we have already.

OK, how about this one: • Hereditary democracy: We’re still a democratic republic, but our rulers can only come from certain “select” families. Like the Bushes. Or the Clintons. Or maybe Michelle Obama if she’s not busy in 2020.

Don’t like that one either? Maybe something more familiar: • Kleptocracy: In a kleptocracy, government is still run by the wealthy, although in this one government officials extend their wealth and power by skimming off the top. You know, like we do it in Illinois.

Yeah, maybe that’s not such a good idea. Perhaps we need to go to the

other end of the spectrum: • Ochlocracy: Essentially government run by a mass of people, often referred to as a mobocracy, or mob rule. It’s basically holding the tiger by the tail. Still, both the sexist imbecile and the lying liar invoked mob appeal to win their respective primaries. And now both seem intent on bum-rushing the White House in the same way.

But there’s a problem with mobs: they’re mostly fueled by emotion. And emotion can only carry you so far before it devolves into absolute chaos.

Kind of like this year’s Chicago Bears.

No, perhaps what we need is intelligent rule. Therefore I give you: • Technocracy: It’s where scientists and technical experts run the show.

Basically nerds rule. I know it sounds a little far-fetched, but considering that the email-hacking geeks at WikiLeaks could well swing the election one way or another, maybe we should consider putting them in charge. Unless they’re Russian, of course.

For that matter, we could take this rule by intelligence and logic one step further, like they did on “Star Trek,” and institute a: • Vulcan Council: Government is run by seven brainiacs, chosen for their

respective smarts. Elections are held only once every 10 years. The system works great until someone is afflicted by the “pon farr,” or Vulcan mating urge, in which case they must fight to the death with their rival.

Perhaps allowing the sexist imbecile and the lying liar to dismember one another with poleaxes in ritual combat would help bring this country back together.

Hey, it worked for Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock.

Don’t like that one, either? Jeez, I’m running out of ideas here. But I saved the best one for last: • Meritocracy: Government is run by skilled people who actually know what they’re doing. Leadership is based on competence and experience. Policy is shaped by common sense and the common good. With the main focus on preserving life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Yeah … like that’s ever going to happen.

Kudos to Troy Middle School teacher Allison Schieffer

To the Editor: The article in The Herald-News on Nov. 2 by Kris Stadalsky was wonderful.

Kudos to Troy Middle School math teacher Allison Schieffer for her understanding, compassion and ability to incorporate the iPad learning experience for Deklan Mangan.

Her innovation will surely help Deklan get the education he deserves.

It also will help this homebound student (due to an immune deficiency) interact with the other students.

Congrats on a heartwarming, uplifting story.

42 CLASS 7A FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: ROLLING MEADOWS 23, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 13

Lincoln-Way Central falls to Rolling Meadows

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – For a combination of reasons, Lincoln-Way Central did not have the ball much in the second half Friday night.

The result was almost predictable as unbeaten Rolling Meadows erased a 13-9 halftime deficit and secured a 23-13 victory in the second round of the Class 7A state football playoffs.

The Mustangs (11-0), armed with a precision option offense engineered by quarterback Asher O’Hara, put together 86- and 55-yard scoring drives on their first two possessions of the second half. The first score came after their defense forced a three-and-out to begin the third quarter and the second followed Devonte Adams’ athletic pass interception, the first of two picks by the Rolling Meadows secondary.

“It is a little difficult to go against their option offense, as the results showed,” Central senior defensive lineman Mike Cepolski said. “But most of the time when they scored, it happened because of personal mistakes.

“He [O’Hara] is shifty, which we knew he would be. He definitely did a good job of making people miss.”

O’Hara rushed 19 times for 81 yards and completed 14 of 22 passes for 152 yards. Rolling Meadows finished with 22 first downs and 368 total yards.

“He’s a good athlete,” Central coach Jeremy Cordell said of O’Hara. “He makes things happen. He got loose on some scrambles and he threw the ball well.”

The Mustangs ran 33 offensive plays in the second half to 21 for Central (7-4), and nine of the Knights’ snaps came after they regained possession on downs at their 14-yard line, in a 10-point hole, with 2:14 remaining.

“Our defense did a nice job, but we had the two turnovers the second half, and when you do that, your defense is going to wear down a little,” Cordell said. “We made some adjustments at halftime, but then they made some good adjustments to us. We didn’t have very many possessions in the second half.”

Besides grabbing the two interceptions, the Mustangs’ defense limited the Knights to 11 yards rushing and 60 total yards in the decisive second half. Central finished with 67 rushing yards in 21 attempts and 214 total yards. Quarterback Hunter Campbell was 10 of 17 passing for 94 yards and two interceptions.

“Our calling card all year has been being able to run the ball,” Cordell said.

“We had some moments, but you’ve got to finish to the whistle, and we didn’t always.”

“Their secondary was pretty good.

Paul Bergstrom for Shaw Media

Lincoln-Way Central’s Nico Muto is tackled by Rolling Meadows’ Justin Masters during the game on Friday at Lincoln-Way Central.

Lincoln-Way Central’s Matt Pollack runs the ball against Rolling Meadows.

Their whole defense was good,” said Central wide receiver/running back Matt Pollack, who caught eight passes for 136 yards and rushed twice for 20 yards. “We were not able to do much on them. They took away our game plan.

We made adjustments, but our offense was not able to step up.

“Our defense did good.”

After Rolling Meadows (11-0) broke a scoreless tie on Jose Camacho’s 22-yard field goal with 1:17 left in the first quarter, Central’s offense responded. Campbell threw the ball to Zack Stoklosa behind the line of scrimmage near the right sideline, and he lofted a 53-yard

touchdown pass to Pollack, putting the Knights ahead, 6-3. The conversion kick failed.

The Mustangs took the lead back, 9-6, when they drove 85 yards in eight plays, with O’Hara scoring on a nifty 3-yard run on third-and-goal with 7:12 left before halftime. A two-point conversion run failed.

The Knights retaliated with a 63-yard scoring drive. Pollack ran 18 yards on a reverse, turned a short pass reception into an 11-yard play and then grabbed a 29-yard strike from Campbell to the 1-yard line. Two plays later, Campbell scored on a sneak, and Dimitri Sereleas’ extra-point kick made it 13-9.

Cepolski’s sack helped Central snuff out a Rolling Meadows threat just before the half expired, and things were looking up for the Knights. The second half, however, was all Mustangs.

“You never want consolation prizes,” Cordell said. “But we’re in Year 2 of the program and to go from a nonqualifier to the second round is a good improvement. No program has kids who work harder than ours. I love each and every one of our seniors.”

“This definitely was not the finish we wanted,” Cepolski said. “But we were 4-5 last year and made it to the second round this year. We’re proud of that.”

“Dillon [McCarthy] runs hard, he is hard to bring down and how elusive he is,” Kane said. “He made them miss.

“We did run a couple of trick plays, a couple of reverses that got the ball to Peplow. Our blocking on the perimeter on those plays was outstanding.”

“Coach knew I was the target of their defense most of the time, so we ran reverses and jets, and that kind of screwed them up,” Peplow said.

And then there’s tailback Tyler Hoosman. Running behind an offensive line that largely featured center Will Vido, guards Ari Ekowa and Nathan Lindroth, and tackles Dylan Zepeda and Tony Little, all Hoosman did was rush 27 times for 161 yards and five touchdowns.

“We were more of a power team this week,” Hoosman said. “Brady [Miller] was awesome mixing things up, and we have such fast guys like Dillon [McCarthy] and Connor [Peplow] on those sweeps that it can change the whole de-

North scored touchdowns on seven of its first eight possessions, the only blemish Harrell’s interception on McCarthy’s halfback option pass in the first quarter. When North finally did turn the ball over on downs on the Bradley 15 late in third quarter, it prevented the running clock from clicking on as North was up, 49-14, at the time.

“I’ve seen Bradley on tape, and they’ll do things like score three times in two minutes,” Kane said. “So we really wanted to get the running clock at that point. It was my fault that we

didn’t score that time. I stayed in one formation one play too many.”

The Tigers finished with 340 rushing yards on 51 carries, 478 total yards and 31 first downs. Of course, all that production would not have been possible without the play of the North defense.

Bradley finished with a misleading 327 yard of offense. Until the Boilermakers fell behind, 35-0, the North defense, which came in having shut out four of its last five opponents, had yielded virtually nothing and had come up with three turnovers.

“We all played so well on the defensive side of the ball and it was great to get the interception,” said McCarthy, a regular in the secondary. “Our coaches had us so well prepared for this game.

We were very confident coming in.”

“We played outstanding on both sides of the ball,” said Ekowa, who played both ways along the line of scrimmage for most of the game. “Being the first Plainfield North team to reach the quarterfinals is an honor. We are looking forward to playing in front of our home fans next week.”

Linebacker Will Stoll, who was in several big defensive plays, noted the quality of the Bradley athletes, but “our entire defense played so well against them.”

Who are those guys, anyway? The question was answered Saturday.

• Sunday, November 6, 2016

BRADLEY – Who are those guys, anyway?

If members of the top-seeded Bradley-Bourbonnais football team were caught uttering that query during Saturday afternoon’s Class 7A second-round playoff game against Plainfield North, nobody could blame them.

Bradley entered the game unbeaten at 10-0 and with several legitimate victories on its ledger. A team that formidable is not supposed to suffer the kind of humiliation North administered, a 49-20 spanking.

The reward is a home game against Rockford Auburn at 2 p.m. next Saturday for the Tigers, the first quarterfinalist in their school’s history and the second Plainfield team ever to reach the quarterfinals.

So dominant were the Tigers (9-2) that they led 21-0 after one quarter, 35-0 before Bradley had so much as a first down and 42-7 at halftime.

“It all started with our offense,” said North cornerback Kevin Block, who recovered a fumble, had an interception and knocked away a couple of passes, often in coverage against Bradley’s main man Camron Harrell, who has committed to Iowa. “The offense took the ball down the field and scored on the first possession, and we took off from there.”

Indeed, North won the coin toss and elected to receive rather than defer to the second half.

“I felt good about what our offense could do,” Tigers coach Tim Kane said, explaining his decision. “And I didn’t want to give them the extra possession to start the game. We wanted to limit their possessions.”

Besides boasting individual stars in Harrell, quarterback Marion Burtis and a couple of others, Bradley’s secondary is one of the best. The Tigers recognized that, and they found a way to get all their playmakers involved without throwing the ball downfield much.

Connor Peplow, for instance, has been a demon as a receiver in recent weeks. On Saturday, in addition to kicking seven straight extra points, he caught only one pass for 11 yards.

However, he also ran five sweeps for 67 yards.

Tough, slippery Dillon McCarthy, who also intercepted a pass, carried 12 times for scrimmage for 66 yards and turned two pass receptions into 40- and 30-yard plays with his elusiveness.

44 CLASS 3A FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: WILMINGTON 38, BYRON 18

Weaver the man as Wilmington advances

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Owen Weaver and his Wilmington teammates were involved in a physical war Saturday night with rival Byron in a Class 3A second-round playoff football game.

The offenses for both sides had difficulty at times sustaining drives. But when push came to shove, Weaver supplied the magical plays that triggered a 38-18 victory, sending the Wildcats (110) into a quarterfinal matchup at No. 1 seed IC Catholic.

With Wilmington nursing a 7-6 lead late in the first quarter, Weaver stole the ball from Byron running back Peyton Keller, and 71 yards later, he was in the end zone to make it a 13-6 game.

“Our whole team was on him there,” said Weaver, the Joliet-area rushing leader who also scored four rushing touchdowns, giving him a school-record 38 for the season, eclipsing the mark set by perhaps the greatest Wildcat of them all, Damien Anderson. “I saw about half the ball in his arm, and I just got it from him and ran.”

“That’s the first time I remember Owen doing that,” Wilmington coach Jeff Reents said. “He is a special player.

His defense has been overshadowed by how well he runs the ball, but he is an outstanding defensive player.”

Still, the Wildcats led only 13-6 at the half and the Tigers had to be feeling

Weaver, though, had other ideas.

On the second play from scrimmage in the third quarter, he took a handoff and shot through the middle. Several yards downfield, he somehow broke through a few would-be tacklers. Then with only Brandon Elsbury left to hang on,

Weaver threw him aside like a rag doll, turned on the jets and completed the 70yard scoring run for a 20-6 lead.

Weaver finished with a tough 188 yards in 27 carries. Besides his defensive touchdown, he recovered a fumble caused by a full-steam-ahead Brett McWilliams sack.

“We worked well as a team,” Weaver said. “It all came together for us. All the

credit goes to our linemen. They work so hard in practice. Byron is a very physical team. They kept coming at us, and we kept coming at them.”

On the kickoff after Weaver’s 70yard run, Hayden Mack recovered a Byron fumble on the Tigers’ 41-yard line. Weaver’s 21-yard run to the 12 set up his 3-yard scoring run on fourthand-1, making it 26-6.

Byron whittled its deficit to 26-12 with a scoring drive, but before the third quarter ended, Wilmington’s Tyler Holcomb delivered a haymaker, returning a punt 42 yards for a touchdown and a 32-12 lead. All that was left was for Weaver to break the record on a 3-yard run midway through the fourth quarter.

“On the punt return, I received a couple of great blocks and tight-roped down the sideline for the touchdown,” Holcomb said. “It was a great win and great night for us, with Owen setting the school record for touchdowns in a season.”

“It was that kind of night,” Reents said of the big plays on both sides. “As much as we gave up some big plays, we were able to get some of our own.

“This was a big game for us. Our kids were talking beforehand about them beating us last year.”

The 42-35 loss to Byron in 2015 remains the only blemish on the Wildcats’ sterling three-year run that began with the 3A state championship in 2014.

CLASS 6A FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: LEMONT 42, DANVILLE 10

Lemont moves past Danville, into quarterfinals

By JASON ROSSI

jrossi@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Steven Fleming and Spencer Nagel took chemistry class out onto the football field.

The Lemont seniors hooked up for the Indians’ first three touchdowns in a 42-10 win against Danville in a Class 6A second-round playoff game Saturday as they proved they are both on the same page after working closely in practice.

“Early in the year [me and Steven] didn’t connect as much, it was more the other receivers because we didn’t have it clicking yet,” Nagel said. “But ever since late in the [regular] season, we just got it going and it’s helped us tremendously.”

Nagel found Fleming on a fade route for a 15-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 6:24 to play in the first, and then

hit him in stride with a well-placed ball on a 27-yard score less than four minutes later.

The duo struck again early in the second quarter. After hauling in the pass on a short route, Fleming spun away from a would-be tackler and waltzed into the end zone on a 25-yard score that made it 21-0.

“We just practice a lot together, so that chemistry is there,” said Fleming, whose three catches all went for touchdowns. “We’ve been pretty much having passing days at practice, so we have that connection and bond.”

Nagel passed for 166 of his 198 yards in the first half as the Indians (11-0) turned to the running game in order to control the clock in the second half.

Jake Kirkman’s 10-yard scoring run made it 28-0 with 6:52 left in the third, and when the Vikings (8-3) cut the deficit to 28-7, Kirkman slipped through

the hole and then went untouched for a 25-yard score.

Lemont pushed the lead to 42-7 on the first play of the fourth quarter as Nagel’s perfectly placed pass got through to Matt Slee, who was draped in coverage but still hauled in the pass for a 32-yard TD. As impressive as Lemont’s offense was, the defense was equally impressive.

Jordan Brown’s tackle for loss cut short Danville’s opening drive of the third quarter, and Frankie Letizia recovered a fumble to set up Kirkman’s first score. Letizia also had two tackles for loss in first half, and Justin Koehler had a sack late in the second quarter.

“I told the kids I’m unbelievably proud of them. I don’t know if they realize how good Danville is,” Lemont coach Bret Kooi said. “All phases were clicking and I’m very proud of the

kids.”

Kirkman finished with 107 yards on 12 carries, Anthony Martin had 82 yards rushing, and Brian Collins rushed for 42 yards on Lemont’s final drive.

The win sends the Indians back to the state quarterfinals for the first time since they played for the state title in 2014. St. Laurence, which slipped past Crete-Monee 41-40, in the second round, will host the quarterfinal game.

“We got our hands full, we know that,” Kooi said. “We’ll enjoy this tonight, but we know we have our hands full.

“They’re unbelievably wellcoached, and I think that’s what scares me more than anything. They’re very well-coached and they have smart, intelligent kids that compete hard just like ours, and I feel like we’re looking in the mirror this week.”

CLASS 5A FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: MORRIS 14, TRIAD 7

By DAVE WILHELM For Shaw Media

Kameron Dransfeldt Morris junior

On their next possessions, the Redskins had a 60-yard touchdown run by senior quarterback Ricky Del Favero negated by a holding call. The defenses dug in from there, giving little.

The Knights took over at their 41yard line with 3:14 to play in the game and drove to the Morris 29. A sack and a holding call pushed back Triad, but on a third-and-20 play, Bauer, who seldom throws, hit senior Jacob O’Dell with a 17yard pass to again reach the Redskins 29.

Triad, however, had no more timeouts, so the clock continued to roll. Bauer’s final heave to the right flank had too much air under it, and the Redskins easily knocked it away.

“We were trying to take down our second giant and legend in Illinois football,” said Triad coach Paul Bassler, whose team defeated Geneseo, 35-7, in

the first round. “We just came up a little bit short.”

Morris took control in the first half, taking a 14-0 lead.

A 72-yard run by senior Michael Feeney set up the first score, a 3-yard run off right tackle by senior Michael Gerischer that made it 7-0 with 9:55 to play in the second quarter.

Two possessions later, the Redskins got good field position after a short punt, taking over at their 49. Five consecutive running plays set up a 28-yard touchdown pass from Del Favero to junior Kameron Dransfeldt, who was wide open over the middle, to make it 14-0 with 1:43 to play in the first half.

“I’m supposed to come out and pretend like I’m going to block the safety so hopefully he will bite up,” Dransfeldt said. “But if I try to get through ... it worked perfectly. I saw the other safety and saw he bit, too, so I knew I was good. I wasn’t expecting (to be hit), so that helped. A lot of teams define us as an all-run team, so we’ve been trying to prove them wrong.”

Thorson credited the execution.

“We made the right play at the right time, and it was a good throw,” he said.

Class 8A: Maine South (8-3) at Lincoln-Way East (9-2), TBA Class 7A: Rockford Auburn (10-1) at Plainfield North (9-2), 2 p.m.

Class 6A: Lemont (11-0) at St. Laurence (8-3), TBA Class 5A: Metamora (8-3) at Morris (9-2), 3 p.m.

Class 3A: Wilmington (11-0) at IC Catholic (11-0), 5 p.m.

“But we told the kids at halftime, ‘You can’t act like you’re up two touchdowns because it’s the playoffs and teams are going to fight back.’ We knew that. But our defense was just outstanding.”

Feeney finished with 16 carries for 124 yards, while senior Keagan Sobol added 10 carries for 55 yards for the Redskins, who rushed for 196 yards.

Del Favero was 4-for-8 for 50 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

Triad rushed for 207 yards, with Nott finishing with 19 carries and 134 yards.

Senior Tom Kraudel had 17 carries for 81 yards and was particularly effective in the second half.

Bauer had seven rushes for minus-2 yards, and sophomore Devin Towns was limited to minus-6 yards on eight carries.

CLASS 8A FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 35, WAUBONSIE VALLEY 13

Griffins run over Warriors

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media correspondent FRANKFORT – Lincoln-Way East rolled over Waubonsie Valley, 35-13, Saturday in the second round of the Class 8A state football playoffs.

The Griffins (9-2) will play Maine South in the quarterfinals next weekend. The Warriors, meanwhile, finished 6-5 after upsetting Hinsdale Central, 32-23, in the opening round of the playoffs.

The Griffins’ offense piled up 441 total yards, 316 of which came on the ground. East led, 28-6, at halftime.

Senior quarterback Jake Arthur scored the first of his two rushing touchdowns on a 1-yard-run to make it 7-0 with 6:04 to play in the first quarter.

Nigel Muhammad (16 carries, 75 yards) added a 1-yard-run to make it 14-0 with 11:28 to play in the second quarter.

Running back Brendan Morrissey made it 21-0 with an 8-yard touchdown run, and Arthur completed the firsthalf scoring when he hit receiver Max Shafer, the backup quarterback, for a 14-yard touchdown strike with 21 seconds to play in the second quarter.

Arthur added a 4-yard touchdown run for a score in the third quarter to make it 35-6.

“We just feel confident in what we can execute and in what we can do,” Arthur said. “We’ve worked hard. We’re healthy, and our offensive line is clicking.”

The East defense held the Warriors to five first downs in the first half and 91 yards of total offense. Defensive lineman Ben Ravetto recorded four tackles for loss.

The Griffins also held Warriors’ 6-foot-4 tight end Charles Robinson in check. He caught one pass for 9 yards before leaving with a second-half injury to his right leg. Last week against Hinsdale Central, he caught six passes for 214 yards and four touchdowns.

“We came out of the gate strong in all three phases of the game,” Griffins coach Rob Zvonar said. “We knew we had our hands full tonight. Give a tremendous amount of credit to our staff and our players. They came out here and played our best game of the year.

“The word on him (Robinson) was awareness. We needed to know where he was every play, and that was the

• Sunday, November 6, 2016

TROY – The Triad Knights had momentum Saturday afternoon, but the clock wasn’t on their side.

The Morris defense knocked down a desperation fourth-down pass by Knights senior quarterback Tommy Bauer, then made one snap to finish off Triad, 14-7, in a second-round game of the Class 5A football playoffs.

The Redskins (9-2) will play host to Metamora (8-3) in the quarterfinals at 3 p.m. Saturday. Morris is 7-0 at home this season.

“It’s playoff football,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said of the nerve-wracking finish endured by the Redskins, who led 14-0 until late in the third quarter.

“We knew coming in this was going to be a good game,” he said. “They have an offense that controls the clock and does a good job moving the ball. You’ve got to give their defense a lot of credit, because our offense has really been clicking.”

Triad (7-4) trailed, 14-0, until junior tailback Trevor Nott broke loose for a 20yard touchdown with 1:35 to play in the third quarter.

“A lot of teams define us as an all-run team, so we’ve been trying to prove them wrong.”

Fans flock to Chicago to celebrate World Series title

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Cubs players were welcomed home and celebrated by millions of cheering and screaming fans lining the streets of Addison, Michigan and Columbus, before making their way to Hutchinson Field for the post-parade World Series championship rally.

Small children clad in their jerseys and Cubs T-shirts sat on the shoulders of adults, while others stood on their tippy toes or climbed on top of statues and street signs if only to catch a glimpse of their favorite Cubs player.

Players posed together for photos and others stayed close to family on the double-decker buses as they made their way along the parade route. Blasts of red and blue confetti shot into the sky and onto the crowd as each bus passed.

Many area fans boarded Metra trains filled to capacity well before they

made it to the final stop, causing delays despite increased service and capacity.

Still, that didn’t keep many away.

“The Cubs deserve this, and this is their way to show us they appreciate us,” Woodstock resident Michelle Soto said.

Soto and her friend, Donna Jensen, were among those who awaited the train in Woodstock just before 7 a.m.

Donning a cast on her right arm, Soto said she broke it while watching Game 4 downtown with friends and family.

“I did it for the Cubs,” she said, laughing.

Jensen, a lifelong Cubs fan, said she wanted to attend the parade because her mom is a die-hard Cubs fan and she isn’t able to attend.

City officials estimated that 5 million people attended Friday’s festivities, compared with the 2 million people who attended similar events when the Blackhawks won their third Stanley Cup in six years in 2015.

After the end of the parade, crowds headed to the rally or traversed the city, taking in the celebration and filling the streets still shut down to traffic.

The city of Chicago dyed the Chicago River a bright shade of blue this morning to match the Cubs’ colors, a tradition usually only found on St. Patrick’s Day when it’s dyed green.

48 The Minooka girls show off their third-place trophy during the the girls Class 3A state final awards ceremony Saturday at Detweiller Park in Peoria.

Minooka girls place third, field 4 All-Staters

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent PEORIA – When a team wins a state team trophy by finishing third and is disappointed, that shows how far a program has come.

Minooka placed four runners in the top 23, but ended in third place in the Saturday’s Class 3A girls race at Detweiller Park. Minooka, the defending champions, scored 134 points. Naperville North won with 111 and Yorkville was second with 130.

“A few years ago, I would have given anything to win a trophy,” Minooka coach Kevin Gummerson said. “The girls are disappointed in not winning, but it was one of the great team races today. We left it all out there on the course. We will celebrate this trophy because they earned it.”

Minooka was the only team to have four runners who earned the coveted All-State honors by finishing in the Top 25.

Junior Emily Shelton was third (16:42), seniors Mackenzie Callahan took fourth (16:48), Ashley Tutt placed 17th (17:12) and sophomore Vivian Van Eck was 23rd (17:20).

Glenbard West teammates, freshman Katelynne Hart (16:31) and Lindsey Payne (16:34) finished ahead of Shelton.

“I felt really good today,” Shelton said. “I saw the two from (Glenbard) West go and I just decided that I was going to go with them. This is crazy, my last two races didn’t go as well, but I had a goal of top three. I’m excited to race against those two again next year.”

Callahan and Tutt were disappointed their high school cross country careers came to an end and only wanted to talk about their team and not on the individual honors.

“We’ve been teammates for four years and now it’s over with everyone on the team,” a teary-eyed Callahan said.

“It’s really sad,” Tutt said. “But we gave it all we had today, and it will take some time to get over.”

Tutt and Callahan will be teammates again in college, as each has committed to Northern Illinois University.

Van Eck has been running exceptionally well at the right time of the season.

“For most of the race I was in the 30s, so I knew I had to pass people as it was getting closer to the finish for team points,” Van Eck said. “My personal goal was to be All-State and it happened.”

“Vivian set a goal of becoming All-State, she went out and got it and that is a credit to her,” Gummerson said. “To have four achieve such an honor in the same race shows you how hard they work and help each other. They have always been about team first.”

Also for Minooka, Julia Dames was 121st while Sarah Weed finished 134th.

Lockport finished 17th and was led by senior Morgan Bollinger, who received All-State honors with her 20th place finish in 17:15.

“I really tried to focus the best I could today,” Bollinger said. “It’s a great way to finish your cross country season as a senior.”

Also for the Porters, Karlee Stortz was 56th and

Madison Polinski took 79th Plainfield North placed 24th (547 points) in its first ever state appearance as a team. The Tigers were led by Megan Patton, who finished 42nd, and Juliana Stogsdill, who was 47th.

“It’s been amazing to run with this team,” said Brittany Drag, the only senior on the North squad.

“To run here as a team and experience everything was amazing.

Lincoln-Way East was 25th and had sophomore Jenna Couwenhoven led the way with a 60th-place finish.

Other top individual runners were Plainfield South’s Greta Carlberg (81st), Lincoln-Way West’s Jenna Diers (89th) and Teagan Lyke (138th), Lincoln-Way Central’s Mackenzie Brownrigg (127th) and Joliet West’s Maddie Blaauw (130th).

In Class 1A, Gardner-South Wilmington senior Daly Galloway finished her stellar career with a third-place finish in 17:23 to earn her fourth All-State honor. Galloway captured second as a sophomore and junior and was third as a freshman.

“I will miss it, but it has been difficult training by myself over the years,” Galloway, who will attend Northern Illinois University next year. “I’m really looking forward to being a part of a real team in the future. We have a good recruiting class and we text each other all the time.”

Seneca senior Carina Collet finished 98th (19:16).

In 2A, Lemont placed 14th in the team race with 368 points. The Indians were led by Beata Drozda in 49th (18:21). Bridget Kunkel was 83rd, while Jaycee Shickel placed 113th and Cassie Hamilton was 119th.

Minooka coach Kevin Gummerson was equally impressed by the performance.

“This has been Soren’s goal since he started running,” Gummerson said.

“The road to get here has had its ups and downs. But he has worked as hard as anyone I have ever seen. The moment he and his dad celebrated was a special moment.”

PEORIA – Like father, like son.

On Saturday, history was made in the sport of boys cross country on the famed Detweiller Park course.

Minooka senior Soren Knudsen won the Class 3A individual title in a time of 14:02 over the three-mile loop on a picture-perfect day for running.

He not only becomes the Indians’ first individual champion, but he follows in the footsteps of his father, Jim, who captured the title for Lockport in 1981. It is the first father/son winning combination in the history of the sport in Illinois.

“I can’t put into words what this means right now,” Soren Knudsen said. “Illinois is one of the best cross country states in the country, we have incredible runners every year and to be the champion in the big division is unbelievable.”

Knudsen did not take the lead until there was only about three-quarters of a mile to go. He defeated Lyons Township’s Danny Kilrea by six seconds (14:08).

“I had a few plans before the race, but I never used any of them,” Knudsen said. “The race went out moderately fast and I just stayed in the pack of about six or so and then the Lyons runner [Kilrea] made a move at just over 1,400 meters left. I decided then, that if I want this, I better go and go as hard as I could.

“This speaks volumes of our family and the passion my dad and I have for

“We really haven’t talked about it much; runners tend to be superstitious. But today is all about him and I’m so proud.

I’m in his shadow now, which is great.”

50 CLASS 4A GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: MINOOKA 2, NORMAL COMMUNITY 0 (26-24, 25-23)

Minooka makes history with super-sectional win

By KAITLYN JASNICA

kjasnica@shawmedia.com NORMAL – Minooka’s girls volleyball team had never made it to the final four before and had to beat Normal Community at its Class 4A super-sectional on Saturday to do so.

After the Indians fought back from a 24-21 deficit to win Game 1, 26-24, Normal gave Minooka all it had. In back-toback plays, the Ironwomen placed tips in ideal spots, but junior libero Taylor Baranski dove and somehow got hands on the ball to keep the play alive.

Indian senior setter Brooklyn Bachmann shot the ball to junior outside Alli Papesh, who put it away. A few plays later, Rocky Perinar made incredible defensive plays to rob middle Grace Cleveland of a kill. The junior outside made the same play moments later.

Strong plays like those kept Minooka in the game and on match point, Perinar swung hard for a kill to help the Indians earn a 26-24, 25-23 victory. The Indians (34-6) will face Stevenson in the state semifinals at 7 p.m. Friday.

“This was a little bit of a sweet revenge for me and coach (Emily) Soto,” Papesh said. “We lost to Normal Community my freshman year in the first round of sectionals, so we came in and knew what we wanted to do. We followed our game plan, and it worked for us.

“We were down in the beginning and came back because we trust in each other 100 percent and we really wanted it.”

Alli Papesh

Minooka junior outside hitter “I’m really proud of how everyone stepped up their game and when something wasn’t working, we focused on something else. We were down in the beginning and came back because we trust in each other 100 percent and we really wanted it. We told each other at the beginning we would do anything needed to win, and that’s what we did.”

“This is what state is supposed to look like – these tight score games like today,” Minooka coach Carrie Prosek said.

With the scores tight, the Indians played well defensively at the end. The entire back row had the attitude that if they kept the play alive, the offense would take care of the rest.

“I wasn’t going to let the ball drop because they’d get more momentum,” Perinar said. “It would have brought us down. I tried my best to get every single ball that came over. I trust my hitters that if I get the ball up, they’ll put it away.”

Normal Community brought something different to the table than Minooka has seen.

Setter/right side hitter Rachel Maguire attacked so frequently that it more closely reflected a men’s volleyball game. Women’s teams feed their outsides while many men’s programs go to the right. Also unlike many girls teams, Normal’s top hitter was its middle, Cleveland.

There’s a saying in many sports, however. Offense win games, but defense wins championships. If judged by that, Baranski would have been the MVP of the series.

“She has been playing incredible volleyball,” Prosek said. “Her digs, her serve receive and her serving have been great. We moved back to a three-man [serve receive], but she still steps in front of everyone to take the ball. She takes control.”

She took control of the back row by earning 14 digs all off hard swings. It wasn’t easy, for sure.

“Defending them was a lot different,” Baranski said. “Usually I don’t get as many hits down the line from a right side. I made sure that I was getting deeper down the line so I could play that shot. We played their big middle in club. She’s familiar to us, but she is a really good middle and we have not seen any players like her at this level. She could have been the changing point in

the game, but our blocking and defense picked up.”

Junior middle Olivia Klank (two kills) led defensively at the net with four blocks, while Perinar and Papesh added two each and classmates Samantha Hermann and Holly Bonde (two kills) both added a block. Bonde had seven digs and Papesh and Perinar both had five digs.

Bachmann dished out 20 assists and added two of her own kills, while Papesh had a team-high 11 and Perinar added nine.

Even though the game was shaky at times, Minooka was able to pull off the victory because of defense and a winning mindset. The past two wins have put Minooka on the right track to do well at state.

“Our games were a little easier at the beginning,” Papesh said. “We went into the Plainfield Central game knowing that we had to play our game, and we did ... . We came into this game knowing that their middle was their go-to hitter.

We did everything we could to try and stop her. Yes, she’s going to get kills on us. That’s the game of volleyball. It’s how we rebound.

“This was a tough game for us, but we pushed through it. We trusted each other and that’s what got us to state. We have goals now that we’re going there.

We want to play in the championship game.”

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL: LEWIS UNIVERSITY 3, TRUMAN STATE 0 (25-22, 25-13, 25-22)

Lewis University beats Truman State for 20th victory

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Ever since Lorelee Smith took over as Lewis University’s women’s volleyball coach in 2007, there have been some very impressive constants for her program.

The Flyers have collected 20 or more wins and finished first or second in the Great Lakes Valley Conference’s East Division each season, won more than 90 percent of their home matches and advanced to 10-straight NCAA Tournaments, which is a school record in any sport.

So it’s no great surprise that Lewis is enjoying another successful campaign as it again reached the 20-win mark with four matches left in the regular season following a 25-22, 25-13, 25-22 GLVC victory over Truman State on Friday at Neil Carey Arena.

The 20-6 Flyers, who are ranked 18th in NCAA Division II and second in the

Midwest Region, have won 15 of their last 18, improved to 13-1 in the GLVC and are 9-1 at home.

But things haven’t come easily for Smith’s team. They’ve had to deal with some injuries, but as a result, the veteran Lewis coach feels that her team has only gotten better.

“To have two of your better hitters go down with injuries, the team had to figure out who else they could rely on and other players stepped up and that gave us better confidence,” Smith said.

“Those two players are back, so it’s just a nice, confident feeling. Some of the players who stepped up when they were gone are now first off the bench because they’re really good.

“Elizabeth Hyland was already good, but she really stepped it up another notch and Danica Schreck has come along huge and her battling with the other middles has made us so much stronger. I like how everybody as an individual is very true and genuine to

themselves and this group really appreciates each other for that. They don’t have to work hard to get along.”

The Bulldogs (12-15, 9-5) put up good fights in the opener and finale while the Flyers had their way in the middle set, when they hit at a .444 rate to help them to a .286 overall mark.

Plainfield Central graduate Elizabeth Hyland led the way for the Flyers with a double-double of 10 kills and 13 digs, while Maddie Seliga contributed nine kills and 12 digs. Caroline Stefanon (four blocks), Aly Schneider and Alexandra Preuss added seven kills apiece.

“It feels good to have everyone back and healthy,” Hyland said. “It felt like everyone was going down like flies. We struggled a little bit but came together and it only made us stronger. We’re definitely headed in the right direction, but we’re not stopping since we have big goals.

“One of our team’s biggest assets is that our environment is such a hard-

working one and in practice, we have good girls competing for every spot.

Anyone can play at any position and do just as well as the starter and that’s a huge strength.”

Abby Becker had 37 assists and seven digs while Nicole Yuede added 25 digs. Truman State’s Bailey O’Drobinak had 10 kills and Providence graduate Lacey Hill had five kills.

“We have a lot of depth, so when we lost both Aly and Maddie, it was nice to see us come back from adversity,” Becker said. “We took what we learned from that and grew stronger as players. Since Maddie and Aly have come back, our practices have been so much harder. “(Assistant) Rudi (Balich) always tells us that we should practice how we play and I think that our hard practices carry over into matches, which is nice.

I like how we can all get on each other’s backs because at the end of the day, we all know that it’s to make us all better.”

ILLINOIS 31, MICHIGAN STATE 27

BIG TEN HIGHLIGHTS

George leads Illini past Spartans

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Jeff George Jr. threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns Saturday, the second a 16-yard strike to Sam Mays that gave Illinois a 31-27 win over Michigan State.

The win broke a two-game losing streak for the Illini (3-6, 2-4 Big Ten).

It also extended the Spartans’ misery.

Michigan State (2-7, 0-6) has lost seven in a row.

George started the season as the third-string quarterback for the Illini. With injuries to No. 1 quarterback Wes Lunt and backup Chayce Crouch, though, the son of longtime NFL quarterback Jeff George has now started three straight games at his father’s alma mater.

“We had forgotten what it’s like,” Illinois coach Lovie Smith said after the win. “There’s no excitement like a winning locker room, just genuine emotion, that’s what the locker room was like.”

On Dad’s Day at Illinois, the younger George was just 13-of-29 passing.

But the second touchdown gave the Illini the lead they would keep.

Kendrick Foster added 146 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns.

The loss was a stunner for a Spartan team that dominated the game on paper, outgaining Illinois 490-304 overall and 315 to 140 in passing yardage.

And eight times Michigan State moved the ball to the Illinois 36-yard line or further, bit turned those possessions into just two touchdowns and four field goals. Michigan State’s 10 penalties for 89 yards hurt.

“Very disappointing,” Spartan coach Mark Dantonio said several times in his postgame news conference, shaking his head.

Hoosiers rallied for a 33-27 win over – Wire reports

• Sunday, November 6, 2016

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Navy’s final fourth-down play worked to perfection. Just don’t bother asking coach Ken Niumatalolo how it played out.

“I had my eyes closed. I was praying,” Niumatalolo said. “It obviously worked out great.”

It helped Navy get a rare win against Notre Dame.

Will Worth ran for 175 yards and two touchdowns, his eighth consecutive game with a rushing score, and the Midshipmen beat the Fighting Irish, 28-27, Saturday in the nation’s longest-running intersectional rivalry.

Navy (6-2) won its fourth game against Notre Dame since 1963. The Irish (3-6) had won five in a row in the series.

“We’re kind of in euphoria, Cloud 9 right now having beaten Notre Dame,” Niumatalolo said. “I’ve been here a long time. We’ve had some crushing defeats to these guys. To be able to finally come out on top, it feels so good.”

Irish coach Brian Kelly deserved some of the blame for this one. Trailing 28-24 with a little more than 7 minutes to go, Kelly opted for a 31-yard field goal instead of trying to convert a fourth-and-4 play at the 14. He made the call even though his defense hadn’t forced a punt all afternoon.

“Well, certainly thought about going for it,” Kelly

the opportunity to score and get the two-point conversion. ... But those are the decisions you got to make.

“Again, I don’t question the decision to go for the field goal other than the fact that we couldn’t get the ball back.”

Navy got the ball and ran out the clock with its triple-option offense. Worth converted two huge fourthdown plays on the final drive, one on a dive play near midfield and another with a pass to Jamir Tillman that essentially ended it.

Worth took a knee after that, setting off a raucous celebration that surely will continue through the weekend.

“There are no words for that (win),” Tillman said.

“Every year we get so close. But close only matters in horseshoes. So it feels crazy to bet them my senior year and to go out just how we did.”

Tillman finished with four receptions for 41 yards.

Worth notched with his fourth straight 100-yard rushing performance and fifth of the season.

“The kid’s playing phenomenal,” Niumatalolo said. “We’re where we’re at right now because of Will Worth. He’s given our team belief the way he plays, tough, hard-nosed and he’s created an edge on our football team.

Navy finished with 368 yards, including 320 on the ground. The Midshipmen actually punted once, but it was wiped out after a replay because Notre Dame had 12 men on the field.

52 BLACKHAWKS 3, STARS 2

Kane lifts Blackhawks over Stars The ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS – Patrick Kane scored the go-ahead goal and assisted on another, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Dallas Stars, 3-2, on Saturday night.

Chicago erased a 2-1 deficit with second-period goals by Ryan Hartman at 2:59 and Kane on the power play at 7:40 against Stars goalie Antti Niemi.

With Blackhawks to the left of the net occupying Niemi, Kane skated in from the right and put in a pass from Artem Anisimov.

The Blackhawks scored 11 seconds into the game when Richard Panik scored his seventh goal by wristing in the rebound of a shot by Kane. Dallas took a 2-1 lead into the second period after goals by Brett Ritchie at 7:21 of the first and Curtis McKenzie at 9:49.

Chicago goalie Corey Crawford held the Stars scoreless after that, including a power play for the final 1:49, and finished with 31 saves.

Niemi made 29 saves.

Panik entered the game leading the NHL by scoring on 46 percent of his shots on goal.

Ritchie tied the score when he skated into the slot, took a pass from Antoine Roussel and put in a wrist shot off Crawford’s left arm.

Less than 3 minutes later, Stephen Johns sent a shot from the right point. There followed a scramble with three players from each team around Crawford.

Rookie Gemel Smith poked at the puck, which went in off McKenzie’s right skate.

Hartman ended a 32-second flurry of four good chances for Chicago by driving a slap shot from the

Chicago had a 3½-minute power play in the second after a double minor to Dallas’ Devin Shore, but the Stars killed off that opportunity.

NOTES: The Blackhawks activated LW Andrew Desjardins from injured reserve on Saturday, but he was inactive. He has not played this season because of a foot injury, but is expected to play at home on Sunday.

Pacers take advantage of weary Bulls

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS– C.J. Miles scored 20 points, Myles Turner added 16 and the Indiana Pacers shut down the weary Chicago Bulls, 111-94, on Saturday night.

All-Star Paul George was ejected late in the third quarter after he inadvertently kicked the ball into the stands. He appeared to be upset after a no-call on a shot, then was called for a foul on the Bulls’ ensuing possession.

He made his first five shots and finished with 13 points – the first time this season he’s been held to less than 20.

Jimmy Butler scored 16 points but at halftime had nearly as many turnovers (four) as the Pacers had committed as a team (five). Rajon Rondo wasn’t much better, and even Dwyane Wade struggled – finishing with four points as the Bulls lost their third in a row.

Indiana (3-3) never trailed and led by double digits the entire second half, quite a change after Thursday’s embarrassing loss at Milwaukee.

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

MINOOKA – What do sports and orphans have in common?

At first glance, probably not much.

But Lee Swank of Channahon saw the connection and combined ministry for both under one organization – Legacy Families. The nonprofit offers Christian-based, family-friendly sports programs to children and financially assists families in the process of adoption.

On Nov. 11, Legacy Families, along with The Center, will host a free dessert event to raise awareness of both organizations. Free-will offerings will be accepted.

The premise and the fruition

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17.

Years ago, Swank adopted this verse from the Bible as his personal motto. So when God nudges Swank in certain directions, he obeys.

For instance, in 2001, Swank, a father of five, founded Modern Day Knights to inspire men to become better husbands and fathers.

Lee Swank His inspiration? Robert Lewis’ book, “Raising a Modern-Day Knight: A Father’s Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood,” published by Focus on the Family.

Until the former Christian Youth Center closed, Swank served as director of CYC’s faith-based sports programs. In order to continue those programs, Swank founded Legacy Families in January 2012.

In addition to using sports as a vehicle for bringing kids close to God, the Legacy sports program is structured for parents who don’t want “sports to become so important that it takes over their entire lives,” he said.

“We have only one practice a week and one game a week,” Swank said.

“Let’s say a family has three or four kids. They don’t have to go in three or four directions.”

The year-round program has four seasons: baseball, soccer, football and basketball. About 200 to 300 kids ages 4 to 18 participate, Swank said. The basketball league meets and plays at Ridgewood Baptist Academy in Joliet.

The other leagues are at Faith Bible Church in Joliet.

“We built a new baseball diamond at Faith this year and a second one

Legacy Families made a donation to the Braun family of Minooka to assist in the adoption of their second daughter from China. Pictured are Caiden (from left), Amy, Faith, Nate and Micah. Hadley is in the photo held by Amy.

If you go n WHAT: Legacy Families and The Center Promotional Dessert n WHEN: 7 p.m. Nov. 11 n WHERE: Minooka Bible Church, 412 N. Wabena St., Minooka n ETC: The event is free, although registration is requested. Donations for Legacy Families and The Center will be appreciated.

Several individuals will be recognized that night: Sherry Lindstrom, former CYC staff member; adopting family Marshall and Mindy Johnson; Legacy Sports; and the teens from The Center. n REGISTER: Visit www.legacyfamilies.org. should be ready for this spring,” Swank said. “But the beautiful thing about this program is that it helps families adopt children.”

Proceeds from the sports program are used to help families with adop-

tion expenses. One such family is the Braun family of Minooka. Nate and Amy Braun adopted their daughters from China this year. Faith, 3, came home in January. Hadley, 2, came home Nov. 3. They also have two biological sons – Caiden, 4, and Micah, 3.

Adoption was a priority for Nate and Amy when they married six years ago.

“We’re called to support and take care of orphans,” Nate said. “Bringing a child in our home was always something we knew we’d do.”

Nate said he and Amy decided to work with China for two reasons: the huge need and because it’s relatively easy. Still, adoption is expensive. Nate said it cost $35,000 to adopt Faith and about half as much for Hadley.

In addition to receiving assistance from Legacy Families, the Brauns fundraised and received grants and private donations. Four toddlers are keeping the family busy, but Nate

said he and Amy are open to possibly adopting again one day.

“We’re thankful for the opportunity to share our story,” Nate said. “We hope it encourages someone else to take that step.”

Of course, proceeds from the Legacy Families sports programs could have blessed any number of situations. But the plight of orphans tugs at Swank’s heart. One way he helps is through raising awareness.

As a computer and finance teacher at Joliet Central High School, Swank said he has his students work on global awareness projects. And one aspect of that project is looking at population control in China and comparing it to freedoms in the United States.

“At Joliet Central, I work really hard to motivate kids to care about what they’re doing in life,” Swank said, “and I care about me putting my money where my mouth is, instead of just teaching it.”

conducts career panel Plainfield teacher wins scholarship JolietTheWest HERALD–NEWS The HERALD–NEWS

PLAINFIELD – Darlene Harrington has a special place in her heart for children with special needs.

In fact, she has dedicated much of her professional life to teaching and helping special needs students succeed in the regular education classroom. She has a master’s degree in early childhood special education, and has taught special needs children both professionally and as a church volunteer for 15 years.

Now, Harrington is going back to school herself to become an even better teacher.

Harrington is the 2016 winner of the Bonnie McBeth Early Learning Scholarship. She will use the $1,500 gift to complete graduate-level train-

ing in autism and behavioral-related courses at the University of St. Francis.

Bonnie McBeth was District 202’s first kindergarten teacher in 1951. She taught kindergarten and reading and also worked as a reading specialist during her 38-year education career.

She created and endowed the annual scholarship in 2007 to support early learning teachers taking graduate-level coursework in early childhood education. McBeth passed away in February 2014.

The Plainfield Foundation for Excellence – District 202’s private fundraising organization – administers the McBeth scholarship. Foundation Trustees Ina Brixey and Pat Herman, who were both close friends of McBeth’s, chose this year’s winner.

JOLIET – Students in the Joliet West High School Human Services Academy attended a panel discussion focused on careers in human services on Sept. 26 as the kick-off event for Human Services Academy Week.

The weeklong event was spearheaded by librarians Amy Lingafelter and Amy Walsh, who hosted educational activities in the library every day of the week.

The panel featured local professionals representing different careers within human services. Participants were educator Tracy Spesia, University of St. Francis College of Education and JTHS Board of Education; Lt. Floyd Woods, Joliet Fire Department; attorney John Stiglich, Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker LLP;

clinical therapist Juline Schumacher, Schumacher Counseling and Wellness; and Officer Tony Lakota, Joliet Police Department.

Panelists described why they chose their careers, what a day looks like in the profession, and the valuable impact that their work has on society.

Students had the opportunity to ask questions, as well.

Key themes of the panel included the passion for helping others, the impact of community involvement and opportunities available to students.

The Human Services Academy Week is the first of a series of Academy Weeks that Joliet West’s librarians, Amy Lingafelter and Amy Walsh, will host in collaboration with academy coordinators throughout the year to promote career exploration among Joliet West High School students.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff trouble moving it past a certain point, or it may buckle unexpectedly.

Nonsurgical treatments often relieve knee pain within a few months. Your doctor may recommend: • Applying ice for pain or swelling.

• Taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) to relieve pain.

• Taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), to ease pain and swelling.

• Starting exercises to strengthen the muscles around your knee. (A physical therapist can design an exercise program for you.)

• Avoiding kneeling, squatting and high-impact exercises.

• Using knee tape, a brace or a special sleeve to keep your kneecap aligned properly.

• Wearing inserts called orthotics inside your shoes to keep your foot in proper position – neither turned in or out too much – when you bear weight on that foot, and the knee above it.

If nonsurgical treatments fail, or if you have severe symptoms, your doctor may recommend arthroscopy. This surgical procedure uses miniature instruments inserted through small incisions to repair joint problems. Damaged cartilage can be removed during the surgery. If necessary, your doctor also can correct the alignment of knee structures to help reduce wear and tear.

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

Dear Dr. K: I saw my doctor because of aching pain in my knee, which sometimes buckles unexpectedly. He says I have chondromalacia. What is this, and what can I do to relieve the pain?

Dear Reader: The joints in your body are cushioned by cartilage. This tough, rubbery tissue covers and protects the ends of bones inside a joint, allowing them to glide smoothly against one another as the joint moves.

With chondromalacia, the cartilage inside a joint softens and breaks down. The ends of the bones can rub together, causing pain. Chondromalacia can affect any joint, but the most common location is inside the knee.

The part of the knee that is affected most often is the kneecap (also known as the patella). The kneecap is a little oval-shaped bone with an undersurface covered by cartilage.

As chondromalacia causes more cartilage to soften, it can crack or shred into a mass of fibers. Bits of cartilage can float inside the joint, irritating the cells that line it and provoking them to produce fluid. In severe cases, the cartilage can wear away completely. That causes pain of the kneecap, in the front of the knee, around the side or even behind the knee.

Chondromalacia of the knee usually is related to injury, overuse and poorly aligned muscles and bones around the knee joint. It especially is common in runners, joggers, skiers, soccer players, cyclists and other athletes who repeatedly stress their knees. Workers who spend a lot of time kneeling also are more likely to develop this problem.

The most common symptom is a dull, aching pain in front of the knee, behind the kneecap. The condition also can make your knee joint “catch”: You suddenly have

Dear Abby: After 19 years of marriage, my mother divorced my father to be with my stepfather. They have been together for 40 years now. The problem is, Mom can’t go more than three days without talking about my father or his family.

It’s like my stepsiblings grew up with a “ghost” stepdad because of the constant stories.

I have tried dropping subtle hints to my mother, such as, “That was 48 years ago. Why are you still holding onto that?” Nothing stops her. She even talks about him to people she’s just met. How can I get her to let go of the man she left, and understand that this must be an ongoing jab to her current husband’s self-esteem? – Embarrased For My

her not to do it, do not be embarrassed for him. His self-esteem may be strong enough that what she’s saying doesn’t bother him. Frankly, what she’s doing is far more a reflection on her than upon him.

Dear Abby: I am a 45-year-old man.

When I was in high school, I couldn’t get a date. I’m not unattractive, and I wasn’t even back then. But I was somewhat of a social outcast.

In recent years I have reconnected with several people I went to school with, Stepdad and returned to my hometown for a Dear Embarrased: That your mother short visit to show my kids where I grew feels compelled to do this even with strangers is peculiar, but neither you nor up. Abby, I was overwhelmed with attention from women who wouldn’t give me I can change her behavior. Unless you know for a fact your stepfather has asked the time of day 25 years ago. I admit I like

the change, but I’m uncomfortable there has been such a dramatic shift in their view of me.

I’m not rich. I have a stable job, but haven’t done much with my life other than leave the small rural town I was raised in. Now I constantly am contacted by women who used to never look in my direction, asking me if it’s possible to become romantically involved.

Is this a case of the one that got away?

Or is it a case of the grass is greener somewhere else, and I found a way to jump the fence? – Confounded In Ala-

bama Dear Confounded: Perhaps neither. As

people mature, their values usually mature along with them. Or, like fine wine, you may have improved with age.

Dear Abby: Would you kindly inform your readers there is nothing wrong with being the first person to go through a buffet line or be seated at the dinner table when dinner is called?

Volunteer.

A hostess (or host) works hard to prepare a meal in a timely manner, and it seems impolite, almost rude, for guests to shuffle around waiting for someone else to go first. I’m pretty sure the hosts don’t want to see their perfectly good meal sit on the table getting cold. There is no reward for going last, because the only thing that results from it is a frustrated host or hostess. – Early Bird In Ohio Dear Early Bird: At a dinner party in a private home, it is rude to ignore a host’s request to be seated. For anyone who doesn’t want to be the first at a buffet, the solution would be to say to your companions, “I don’t know about you, but I’m hungry. How about us getting in line?” It’s better than having them listen to your stomach growl. But watch out for the stampede.

LOST SHELTIE KALLIE

RN / LPN – PT Adult Day Care looking for PT RN/LPN. Weekdays only. Please call Autumn ADC at 815-730-0060 to set up an interview.

Vin Scully, who just retired as the Los Angeles Dodgers commentator, said, “Losing feels worse than winning feels good.”

Do you agree? I have a feeling that it depends on what you are winning or losing. In bridge, whether you win or lose a trick can decide whether you win or lose -- or lose or win -- a contract.

In this deal, how should South plan the play in five hearts after West leads the spade king?

North’s three-heart response was pre-emptive. With game-invitational values or more, he would have cuebid three clubs. This probably should have persuaded South to double West’s five-club sacrifice, which would most likely have gained 300 (after North’s heart-ace lead), but could have brought in 500 if North had led a pointed suit, and South got a diamond ruff.

Yesterday, we looked at West’s defense after South won the first trick, drew trumps, and returned a spade.

West had to shift to a diamond to establish a third defensive trick there.

Today, South, with three potential losers in two spades and one diamond, should see that he needs to establish dummy’s spade suit before the opponents can take their diamond trick. He has one other valuable card on the board: the diamond 10.

Declarer must duck the first trick.

If West leads another spade, South wins, draws trumps, and leads a third spade. Or, if West shifts to a diamond, declarer takes East’s queen with his ace, draws trumps, and returns the diamond jack. A spade loser evaporates on the diamond 10. He loses only one spade and one diamond.
