Eisenhower Academy raises flag honoring Blue Ribbon accomplishment

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Students at Eisenhower Academy chanted “Raise the flag!”

Wednesday.

They were gathered around a flagpole at the Joliet school along with a crowd of staff, families and elected officials. The teachers helped hoist a flag recognizing Eisenhower Academy as a National Blue Ribbon School.

“Raise the flag; raise the flag,” students chanted as they waved blue-and-white pompoms.

Once the Blue Ribbon flag reached the top, the students cheered.

Eisenhower Principal Wendy Wolgan thanked parents, teachers, support staff and especially the students.

“We couldn’t do it without you,” Wolgan told the crowd of students. “Pat your-

JOLIET – A Mokena-based lawyer who helped himself to funds in trusts he set up for elderly clients was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison.

Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, and state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, both who could not attend because they were in legislative session. They recognized the school and congratulated the staff.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said he’s always been proud of Eisenhower.

“You young people and the staff here set the stage of excellence,” Walsh said. “… Keep on going further and further with your education, and you’ll always remember the foundation you created and built for your education right here at Eisenhower Academy.”

The students performed a skit where they raised letters spelling out blue ribbon, as well as a song about the accomplishment.

“This school is your school, this school is my school. I’ll sing it loudly, because I feel it proudly,” the students sang.

selves on the back. You are awesome.”

Superintendent Theresa Rouse thanked the families.

“We couldn’t do anything in education without your support,” she said.

Wednesday’s ceremony follows an announcement in September that Eisenhower was named a 2016 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. The students heard about this distinction from U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King Jr., who said Eisenhower was one of 329 schools nationwide to receive the honor.

“When you think high, you go high,” said Tonya Roberts, president of the Joliet District 86 Board of School Inspectors.

“When you set goals and you work as hard you have, things like this happen.”

The school received praise from many elected officials, such as U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, as well as State Rep.

John W. Pleta, 56, made a blind plea earlier this month to theft charges. Judge Dave Carlson said it was “sad” to see how the attorney had abused his clients’ trust.

more than $1 million from a trust fund. Mokena police were notified and found three other victims who also had missing funds worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At the time of his arrest, Pleta had been a lawyer for 30 years and specialized in estate planning and wills.

RIALTO LIGHTS UP MARQUEE Management tries to dig out of financial hole

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Rialto Square Theatre turned on the lights of a newly restored marquee Wednesday as theater management and boosters questioned how long the theater could stay open.

The lighting ceremony after a contentious meeting where Rialto board members debated the future of the theater amid the increasingly likely denial of an annual city subsidy and a mounting stack of unpaid bills.

“We might go downstairs and light up a marquee that in a few weeks goes dark again if we can’t pull together,” Trisha Simpson, who heads the fundraising foundation for the Rialto, said at the board meeting as she tried to rally

support in raising money for the theater.

Simpson later joined the Rialto board and about 100 people who gathered outside the theater to see the marquee and vertical sign lit.

The good spirits of the ceremony belied the financial issues facing the theater as Mayor Bob O’Dekirk, who has resisted the Rialto’s request for $500,000, and other city officials joined in the festivities.

The restoration project was made possible with $98,000 in contributions that included a grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior along with donations from the Rotary Club of Joliet, Rialto Square Theatre Volunteers and First Midwest Bank.

“It looks beautiful,” said Michael Morgan, who was a member of a spe-

The aborted plan for the unpopular marquee led to the Rialto spending $200,000 on a sign it never used and initiated a prolonged period of financial trouble that appears to be peaking.

The multitude of problems facing the Rialto are: • The city so far has not budgeted the $500,000 the Rialto is seeking to cover a projected 2017 deficit and has given no signs that it will before the budget is finalized Dec. 6; • Unpaid bills are mounting, and theater management expects it to reach $675,000 by the end of 2016; • VenuWorks, the outside firm that took over management of the Rialto in September and is viewed as key to the theater’s future success, indicates it will likely leave town in January if the Rialto cannot raise money to pay off its old bills.

Will County leaders discuss federal lobbyists

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County officials are considering whether the county’s federal lobbying firm has been worth the money.

The Will County Board’s Executive Committee met Nov. 10. In that meeting, committee Vice Chairman Chuck Maher, R-Naperville, said he wasn’t sure federal lobbyist firm Smith, Dawson & Andrews is bringing the county the best value for $96,000 a year.

“I’m not so sure that they have produced and put the [same kind of] value into the county as our state lobbyists [have],” Maher said in the meeting of the federal firm, which the county first hired in 2006.

“I don’t think they’ve earned the $96,000 we’ve been paying them,” Maher said.

Executive Committee Chairman Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said the bigger question is what role the county

“I would argue [without the firm] you won’t get the same meetings from other groups that we get.”

Nick Palmer

Will County executive office chief of staff

wants a federal lobbyist to play.

Moustis said the county uses the National Association of Counties better than it did years ago, noting the organization is really a lobbyist for counties.

“There’s a vast amount of resources that come through NACo,” Moustis said, “including getting into agencies and so forth. It’s the largest lobbyist group in Washington, D.C.” He said the county is active and well-known within NACo, which has helped facilitate meetings for the county with top officials in federal de-

partments. The county pays less than $15,000 a year to NACo, officials said in the meeting.

Will County Executive Office Chief of Staff Nick Palmer said NACo is a great resource, but sometimes the issues it advocates for aren’t related to Will County, whereas a federal lobbyist group works specifically for the county.

Moustis suggested continuing the relationship with Smith, Dawson & Andrews on a month-to-month basis while the County Board, executive office and others discuss more in detail what is needed from a federal lobbyist firm.

Palmer said county officials have seen how overwhelmed with work congressional staff and federal agencies can be, and federal lobbyists do hold value – not just in setting up meetings but in setting them up with the right people.

“I would argue [without the firm] you won’t get the same meetings from other groups that we get,” Palmer said.

“We get in and see top-level people.”

Palmer and Moustis noted how the

federal firm helped arrange a meeting on the county’s heroin epidemic several years ago and the county was told “it’s a regional problem.”

“And now it’s on congressional agendas and the executive branch in Washington,” Palmer said.

Moustis pointed out that the Will County Center for Economic Development – which works closely with the county itself – uses the same federal firm in Washington.

“It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, that we use the same lobbyist to go over many of the same things when we go to Washington,” Moustis said.

Just this week, the city of Joliet discussed the idea of hiring a federal lobbyist.

The full County Board may vote Thursday whether to renew the contract with Smith, Dawson & Andrews on a month-to-month basis. The County Board’s Legislative Committee will discuss federal lobbying at a future meeting.

Police seek 2 men for Joliet Township gas station stickup

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – Police are seeking the public’s help to identify two men who robbed a Joliet Township gas station Sunday.

The holdup happened about 3:45 a.m. when two men entered Mobil Gas, 1600 New Lenox Road, pushed the clerk to the ground and said he would be shot if he moved, Will County sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said.

Hoffmeyer said the bandits were able to get behind the counter and take cash from two registers. They also stole five cartons of Newport cigarettes and several hats.

The employee was not injured and notified police.

The first suspect was a black man who was 5 foot, 10 inches tall and weighed 170 pounds. He was wearing a tan coat, white shirt, black pants and white gym shoes. He was driving a newer model, dark-colored Jeep.

The second suspect was a black man who was 5 foot, 9 inches tall and weighed 250 pounds. He was wearing a brown fur coat, blue jeans and light blue gym shoes. He was driving an older Chevrolet Suburban with the front license plate attached to the grill area.

Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at 815-727-8574, ext. 4933, or submit tips at www.willcosheriff.org.

JOLIET – The design of the Will County Judicial Complex is moving along, as a design team is expected to complete 50 percent of the design-development phase in the coming days.

Design firm Wight & Co. gave the Will County Board’s Capital Improvements Committee an update on the $195 million project on Tuesday.

Wight & Co. has hosted several county officials and staff at a mock-up courtroom assembled in Orland Park in an effort to fine-tune the courtroom design. Capital Improvements Committee leaders want to make sure as many county officials are able to make it as possible.

“The reason we do this is to make sure everyone is comfortable with [the courtroom] before we duplicate [the design] 28 times,” project manager Jason Dwyer said to the committee.

Dwyer said that so far, the mockup has been well-received by judges, attorneys and others. The main component they’re trying to determine now is where to position the court reporter’s work area.

Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt has a key to the mock-up, so judges can view it based on their schedules,

Dwyer said.

Road trip

Project leaders, led by Wight & Co., planned to visit a courthouse in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Wednesday to observe how that building operates. Dwyer said the courthouse is similar to the one proposed for Will County. The Michigan courthouse is a high-rise building, and will help stakeholders assess operational flow in planning for the Will County courthouse.

The new Will County courthouse will be designed to meet the needs of its current population, and then some. The existing courthouse was built nearly 50 years ago and designed to meet the needs of 250,000 people in the county. Will County now has a population of at least 680,000 and is expected to surpass 1 million by 2040.

Dwyer said they’ve also received feedback from the judicial system of Maricopa County, Arizona. The fourth-largest county in the U.S., Maricopa County moves an “incredible number” of people through their court system, he said. To do that, Maricopa County uses software developed by one of its own correctional

The Joliet city Christmas tree is delivered to Van Buren Plaza after being cut down Wednesday at a Frank Avenue recovery home for the Will County State’s Attorney’s Drug Court program.

Joliet Christmas tree delivered downtown THE HERALD–NEWS

JOLIET – The city Christmas tree is a Colorado blue spruce that was cut down Wednesday at a recovery home for the Will County State’s Attorney’s Drug Court program.

The tree, estimated at 30 feet tall and weighing 3,000 pounds, was taken to Van Buren Plaza downtown, where it will be lit before the Light Up the Holidays Parade on Nov. 25.

“We are thrilled that our recovery home that gives hope to its residents could donate this year’s tree, which will bring much hope and good cheer to the

entire city,” Julie McCabe-Sterr, coordinator of the Will County Adult and Juvenile Drug Courts, said in a news release from the Joliet City Center Partnership.

The tree was cut down at a recovery home for women on Frank Avenue.

Tree removal, transport and installation services were donated by Arbor Tek Services and Chellino Crane.

The tree will be lit at 5:15 p.m. at a ceremony before the parade and will be part of the daylong Light Up the Holidays Festival and Parade event. The event is organized by the Joliet City Center Partnership.

JOLIET – The Joliet High School District 204 Board approved the 2016 tentative levy as well as the annual financial report for the district.

All board members voted to approve both items at their meeting Tuesday with the exception of board member R. Dale Evans, who was absent, district spokeswoman Kristine Schlismann wrote in an email.

According to a draft of the certificate of the tax levy, the total levy is $67.2 million, which is 4.9 percent higher than last year’s tax extension.

The annual impact of the levy will result in a tax increase of about $7 for a $100,000 home, $13 for a $150,000 home and $21 for $200,000 home, according to the district’s levy summary.

In a Tuesday memo, Ilandus Hamp-

ton, assistant superintendent for business services, wrote he’s been in communication with township assessor offices over the past year to determine the estimated assessed property values, or EAV, and new construction.

He wrote District 204 experienced the first increase in EAV over the past five years, with an increase of 1.69 percent.

“This is a sign that the economy is improving,” Hampton wrote. “Based on the economy and conversations with the township assessors office, I am projecting a slight increase for the upcoming year. The assessor is hopeful that we will continue to realize increases in the coming years.”

In a timeline for the tax levy adoption, the estimated tax levy will be on public display Wednesday and then considered for adoption by the board Dec. 20.

Family-named scholarships honor loved ones, provide Catholic education SPONSORED BY

Looking for a way to honor your loved one while also making a positive difference in an area child’s life? For years, the Catholic Education Foundation of the Diocese of Joliet has been helping families do just that through the creation of donor-named scholarships.

Donors benefit as well, including widespread publication of the name of their loved ones, knowing that the family-named scholarship funds will exist forever, and that they will be used for the purpose directed by the donors.

Named scholarships and endowed scholarship funds start with a minimum investment to the Catholic Education Foundation of $5,000 to $15,000. Donors have the flexibility to remain anonymous if preferred and to establish the amount of the scholarship award based on the minimum initial donation and any additional contributions to the fund.

Recently, former CEF board member Mary Kay Kaufmann and her husband, Tom, created a scholarship endowment to honor her parents, Bob and Joan Dempsey, for their lifetime dedication and sacrifice to educate their six children at St. Raymond Cathedral School in Joliet. It was created at this time to honor the 100th anniversary of St. Raymond Cathedral Parish in hope that others will offer similar memorials.

Every year, the CEF distributes more than 1,500 need-based scholarships to enable students to attend elementary and secondary Catholic schools throughout the Diocese of Joliet. Through endowed scholarships, donors can restrict financial aid to a specific school or student demographic in the name of their family or loved ones.

“Because of that scholarship, 100 financiallyqualified students will be able to attend St. Raymond Cathedral School over the next quarter century and beyond,” said CEF Executive Officer Joe Langenderfer.

FormoreinformationabouttheCatholicEducation Foundation‘Field-of-InterestFunds’, visithttp://cefjoliet.org/ orcalltheCEFOfficeat815-221-6127.

The board was presented the 201516 annual financial report by accounting firm Wermer, Rogers, Doran & Ruzon.

In the comments of the report, the firm noted several positive management practices by district officials but also included recommendations for improvement.

Among the positive practices noted, Wermer, Rogers, Doran & Ruzon said they were impressed with the

district’s record keeping and audit preparation and that property taxes were properly allocated to each fund.

But the firm recommended the district continue to review the status of expenses in comparison to the budget after noting the education and debt service fund were 1.2 percent and 1.4 percent over budget respectively.

They also recommended the district institute controls to ensure a treasurer’s bond in the appropriate amount is held at all times.

D-204 board approves tentative tax levy

Sign variance approved

By KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media correspondent Minooka trustees made quick work of this month’s village board meeting, held one week early because of Thanksgiving, after the committee of the whole and executive board meetings Tuesday.

The village’s street and bridge levy was increased from 6 percent to 10 percent by unanimous vote for the fiscal year beginning May 1.

The increased population in the village has created more traffic on streets and bridges, necessitating an increase in maintenance of those structures in order to maintain the health, safety and welfare of residents, according to the ordinance.

Budget amended

The current fiscal year budget was amended, also in a unanimous vote, to account for expenditures that exceeded the original budgeted amount.

“This is basically a six month cleanup to bring our budget into balance,” Village Administrator Dan Duffy said.

School will use water tower for antenna

With approval of an intergovernmental agreement with the village, Minooka Grade School District 201 will install a radio antenna on the Ridge Road water tower to communicate with school buses.

The 10-foot antenna will be reviewed by a structural engineer before installation and the village will be held harmless for any work involved. Only the village will have access to the antenna.

District 201 will cover all costs involved.

JOLIET – Before trials get underway, many attorneys remind their clients how to act in court.

Things such as standing up when the jury enters or leaves, not yelling at a witness in front of a jury and listening to the judge’s orders are the norm.

Former bankruptcy attorney Robert W. Gold-Smith challenged these and other norms of behavior Wednesday as he stood trial for punching his ex-wife outside a third-floor courtroom Robert W. Gold-Smith six years ago.

Gold-Smith’s punch – a probationable offense for someone with no previous criminal record – essentially has turned into a life sentence in prison. Gold-Smith, 54, was sentenced last month to 30 years in prison for trying to hire another inmate to kill his wife in 2012 while he was being held in the Will County Jail for violating an order of protection.

He still faces witness tampering charges for allegedly having an acquaintance offer the inmate payment

to change his testimony.

Gold-Smith defended himself in the solicitation of murder case, but had Assistant Public Defender Amy Christiansen representing him Wednesday before Judge Sarah Jones.

After Victoria Smith testified that Gold-Smith was the man who punched her, her former husband shouted, “Liar,” twice as she walked past him and out of the courtroom.

After a retired sheriff’s deputy and another lawyer testified Gold-Smith was the man who attacked the woman in the hallway, the defendant took the stand. Dressed in street clothes, he began by asking the judge to have his plastic inmate identification bracelet taken off his wrist.

Gold-Smith said he had been in the courtroom when he saw his wife being struck by her new boyfriend and went to intervene.

“I grabbed him and pulled him off of her. When I went to hit him again, guys grabbed me. I tried to tell them what happened. [Her boyfriend] got away,” Gold-Smith said.

He said his ex-wife claimed he was the man who hit her to protect her new

“We have to have operating capital,” VenuWorks Chief Operating Officer John Siehl said as he headed to the marquee ceremony after the board meeting. “We can’t buy a lightbulb because we owe money to everybody in town.”

The Rialto Square Theatre Foundation, headed by Simpson, is trying to raise the money to wipe out the old debt.

“This is an all hands on deck situation,” Simpson said in her rallying speech as she called for Rialto backers not to depend on just a couple of foundation leaders to raise the money.

Dwyer said the firm is reaching out to these entities to help enhance the design of the building and streamline operations. The committee also asked

the theater still has a chance to get the $500,000 it has sought from Joliet but said the two sides will have to talk.

“I see there are two sides, and I see there’s a brick wall in between,” Murray said. “But, Lord, can we just sit down and have a conversation?”

O’Dekirk at the lighting ceremony said the City Council may discuss the issue at its Dec. 5 workshop meeting before voting on the budget the next day. But he called suggestions that the city would be responsible for a Rialto closing “ludicrous.”

“I didn’t put them in debt. The city didn’t do this,” O’Dekirk said.

The city in past years has contributed $600,000 a year to the Rialto. But the relationship between the theater and city became frayed over the past year amid growing financial problems and the Rialto’s resistance to a proposal to bring in the city inspector general to investigate the theater.

Dr. Victor Marchione shows why adult diapers and padded underwear are becoming a thing of the past.

unexpectedly. In fact, a recent Mayo Clinic report confirms that if you want to reduce bladder leakage, the first thing to do is strengthen all your bladder and pelvic floor muscles. And this is exactly what the main ingredients in Bladder Rescue - pumpkin seed extract and soy isoflavones – are proven to do.

Clinical trials back the science In an eight-week placebo-controlled clinical study, the water soluble pumpkin seed extract worked far better at strengthening the bladder and urinary tract than the placebo. In fact, it slashed frequent urination and leakage up to 57%. And nighttime urinations were reduced by as much as 60%. While this is great news it is not enough.

Participants REDUCED Nightly Frequency and Leakage 79% (From 7.3 to 1.5 episodes)

Number of urination accidents

people don’t even tell their family doctor about it.

This is a big mistake because, without proper care, a leaky bladder will only get worse.

Effective bladder care right at home Thanks to Dr. Victor Marchione, we are able to bring effective bladder care to the confines of your home. Though Dr. Marchione is a certified M.D, his success with natural ingredients has given him the moniker – Food Doctor.

Dr. Marchione, has recently developed a powerful and effective formula that is bringing back the freedom into the lives of thousands of women. And men too. It has natural ingredients, is drug free, and best of all, it is fast acting. It is aptly called Bladder Rescue. And as you can see from Carrie’s story, it is clearly living up its name.

No more adult diapers.

No more sleepless nights!

While there are thousands like Carrie who are happy to be using Bladder Rescue, the growing popularity of Bladder Rescue could have a negative impact on the adult diaper industry.

What was till now a growing business (In many countries, including the US, sales of adult diapers are set to exceed the sales of baby diapers), could suddenly see a change in their fortunes. The diaper industry will be even more worried when they realize, Carrie’s success is no fluke and is based on scientific principles.

The science behind the success Your bladder is made up of different muscles. These muscles house a hollow cavity to hold urine. Bladder muscles, called sphincters, as well as muscles of your pelvic floor, keep urine from leaking.

When your bladder and pelvic floor muscles are strong, they can handle any extra pressure from a cough, sneeze or laugh. But as these muscles become weak with age, any sudden pressure can push urine out of the bladder

Participants who took part in a clinical study experienced an average of 7.3 episodes of leakage at night.

Six weeks later, they dropped to only 1.5 – an astounding 79% reduction in urinary frequency and leakage!

But when pumpkin seed extract combines with soy isoflavones, this dynamic duo rapidly reduced the number of frequent urinations and episodes of leakage. In fact, in one clinical study, participants reported a dramatic 79% reduction in urinary frequency and leakage starting in as little as 7 days.

Of course there two ingredients are ably supported by the other ingredients in Bladder Rescue – Vinpocetine, Magnesium, Cranberry, and the vitamins C, B12, and D. All of

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS. INDIVIDUAL RESULTS MAY VARY. THESE STATEMENTS IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE

Dr. Victor Marchione has been practicing medicine for over 26 years and has been featured on ABC News and World Report, CBS Evening News with Dan Rather and the NBC Today Show. He recently remarked, “I understand that educating people about ways to prevent sickness and promote inner health is the best approach to medicine”

which are proven to help strengthen bladder muscles and support bladder health.

Works for both men and women According to Dr. Marchione, as the bladder muscle in both men and women is similar in structure, and function, the ingredients work well for both the sexes. But for men, their urinary symptoms could be caused by an enlarged prostate. So it’s important to come to a correct diagnosis, before addressing the symptoms. If it’s a bladder problem, support the bladder muscle. If the symptoms are because of an enlarged prostate, proceed accordingly. Having said that, even after the prostate problem is resolved (drugs, supplements surgery) the leakage can continue. This is because an enlarged prostate can alter bladder muscle function in the long run. In which case, Bladder Rescue can come to the rescue.

Wilkesboro, North Carolina Carrie B suffered from bladder problems for about 10 years. What started off as a small leak whenever she sneezed or laughed, ended up with her losing so much control of her bladder, she had to cut down on going out. She tried drugs, but they came with nasty side effects, so she gave up on them and tried adult diapers. She hated the rustle of the diapers and was very conscious of the unmistakable odor of stale urine. Nothing seemed to work for Carrie until she did this one thing.

Fast relief that will leave you speechless When asked how she felt, at first all she could say was “I can’t’ find the words to express how great I feel.” But later on she added. “I had so many accidents in public, I was afraid to leave the house. I even had to stop going to church. It was so humiliating, I cried.

Within one month of trying Bladder Rescue I no longer have accidents! I’ve started going back to church and I’m socializing again… Thank you!

Like Carrie, you too can get back your freedom.

The freedom to plan your day according to what you want to do, and not what your bladder will allow. You never have to bother about how long a movie will last, or how much you can drink, or even whether there is a toilet nearby. But you have to act now. Don’t let another day do by.

Ignore bladder problems at your own risk You see a leaky bladder not only ruins your social life, and prevents you from getting a good night’s rest, it can lead to secondary complications. Urinary tract infection, bladder stones, kidney stones can all stem from a simple leaky bladder. And there is statistical evidence of a leaky bladder resulting in falls, fractures and even severe mood swings. While a leaky bladder can be downright humiliating, talking about it is embarrassing. Which is why most

How to choose the right hair extensions for your lifestyle SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese If you’re looking to update your existing hairstyle, but don’t want to make a drastic irreversible change, consider hair extensions. Extensions allow you to add length and volume to your hair; you can also add subtle highlights or lowlights with extensions of a slightly different hue. The best way to start the process is to have a consultation with a professional hairstylist to gather information.

There are many options for hair extensions.

Human hair lasts longer, will match your own hair very closely, and can be treated like your natural hair. If you choose synthetic hair, you can’t use heat styling tools like blow dryers or flat irons.

Clip-in extensions are fun, but don’t look as realistic. They can be washed and styled like your own hair, but wear out quickly. Choose real hair over synthetic for more durability.

Glue-in extensions are attached to the hair with small keratin bonds at the tip of the extension, then fused with a hot tool. They’re popular and attractive, but require regular salon visits for maintenance and upkeep. Avoid conditioners and heated styling tools near the bond to keep from weakening it.

Sewn-in, or weaved, extensions are best for curly, coarse, or thick hair. They’re sewn into a tightly braided section of your hair. These require frequent maintenance, about every six weeks, for any necessary tightening.

Tape extensions are connected by wide bonds placed outside and then clamped to your own hair strands. They stay full and last a long time, but are very expensive.

Micro-bead extensions are popular, and don’t damage hair since they don’t use heat, glue, tape, or sewing. Strands are clamped with a tiny bead on the tip of the extension to your own hair. You can use hair products and heat styling tools and can dye the extensions. For more information about hair extensions, please contact:

DANIEL J. RUFFATTO SR.

Born: September 5, 1965 Died: November 13, 2016

Daniel J. Ruffatto Sr., my dad, died unexpectedly on Nov 13th while doing something he loved. He was riding his Harley and feeling the sun on his face and the wind on his back.

My dad was a fighter. He fought to overcome injuries sustained in a snowmobile accident. They said he had a 5% chance of living but he came out on top. He fought Leukemia over the last three years and came out on top. We all thought he was Superman, and he was OUR Superman. That all changed when God decided to call you home and we will never know the reasons why. You are now free from any future pain and suffering and free to RIDE. My dad learned to live life to the fullest surrounded by family and friends that he loved. He didn’t go anywhere he couldn’t make a friend. He loved people and talking with them, he loved adventure and was the life of the party wherever he went. He loved his crazy cats who kept him company when no one was home. We all have video’s that prove it.

HE had a zest for life with a smile that could light up a room and a twinkle in his eyes full of mischief and fun. He could make anyone’s bad day into a good one. We will remember his larger than life personality, his stupid jokes and his love for his family.

He graduated from Lockport township High

School with the Class of 1983. He married Barbi Liker from Plainfield on March23, 1991.

They moved to Coal City and raised two beautiful children Tori and Danny Jr. He worked at Plainfield Stamping for many years until the plant closed. He then started his own online Power Sports Business. You would think he owned a junk yard. He was doing something he loved. His passion for toys, motors, gears and people ignited this man. People came from all over or would just show up. He worked on snowmobiles, jet skis, cars, motorcycles you name it. He never turned anyone way and could fix just about anything.

He was a genuine soul who touched so any lives. We will always remember the “Gooch” who lived life Full Throttle.

Dan is preceded in death by his Father and Mother (Donald and Nancy) and his father in law (Patrick Liker) He is survived by the love of his life, Barbi; his two children, Tori and Daniel Jr.; His siblings, Donald Jr. (Sharon), Sheryl (Jeff) Puro all of New Lenox, Dianna (Kevin) Hays of Coal City, Anthony (Natalie) of Lockport and Joann also of Coal City. Also survived are numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Gov. Bruce Rauner speaks to reporters Wednesday in Springfield.

Rauner said he has friends in Donald Trump’s new administration and expects Illinois to have “a voice and a good relationship” with the president-elect.

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner said Wednesday he has friends in Donald Trump’s new administration and expects Illinois “to have a voice and a good relationship” with the president-elect.

“I’ve had some good conversations with the new administration in Washington because I want to try to figure out, you know, work well together because I want Illinois to benefit from the changes that are going to come in Washington D.C. There’s going to be some good changes coming,” Rauner said, speaking to a group of business leaders in Springfield to mark National Apprenticeship Week.

Rauner spent the campaign season distancing himself from Trump – avoiding even mentioning his name – as Democrats tried to tie the former venture capitalist to the divisive presidential candidate.

Trump lost Illinois but he performed better than Mitt Romney in conservative-leaning districts, where Republicans defeated four Democratic state House incumbents.

“Two of his most senior folks in his administration are good personal friends of mine, and allies of mine,” Rauner said without naming them. “So

we’re going to have a voice and a good relationship.”

A spokeswoman for the governor did not immediately respond to a question about who those people are.

Rauner said he spoke with Trump for the first time Friday afternoon and that it was a positive conversation.

The governor has spent the two years of his first term trying unsuccessfully to get majority Democrats to pass pro-business legislation and has repeatedly lamented the state’s lackluster economy.

In his January State of the State address, he cited Illinois’ loss of manufacturing jobs as one of the reasons for eco-

nomic decline.

“I’m hopeful that the new administration is going to be very pro-growth and very pro-manufacturing and bringing manufacturing back to America,” Rauner said Wednesday. “I believe they’re committed to doing that, and boy am I with them.”

Trump says transition efforts going ‘smoothly’

By JULIE PACE and KEN THOMAS The Associated Press

NEW YORK – President-elect Donald Trump and his team on Wednesday vigorously rejected charges of turmoil and infighting roiling efforts to set up his White House, national security and economic teams. A week after his upset victory, Trump said the enormous endeavor was proceeding “so smoothly.”

Trump dished out his rebuttal on Twitter, spending yet another day ensconced in his New York skyscraper, beyond the public eye.

Aides and allies vouched for the transition efforts on his behalf, suggesting some commotion was to be expected.

“The beginning of any transition like this has turmoil because it’s just the nature of the process,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said as he left Trump’s transition headquarters in Washington. He said the picture of Trump’s administration would become clearer in the next two or three weeks.

Others close to the transition process described advisers “fighting for power.” Trump has long stoked internal rivalries among his staff – both in his businesses and his campaign – and has created ambiguity in his transition about who has authority to make key decisions.

Eric Trump, one of the president-elect’s sons, raised expectations of imminent progress Wednesday, telling reporters in the morning that appointments were “likely” to come during the day. Then, other Trump aides suggested a slower pace.

“We’re not going to rush to put names

forward until we’re absolutely sure,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said hours later.

“We’re going to make sure that they’re people we’re confident will pass confirmation and we think can implement the president-elect’s vision.”

Trump’s team noted that President Barack Obama waited until a few weeks after the 2008 election to announce many of his Cabinet appointments.

And former Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra, who has informally advised members of Trump’s national security team, blamed Trump’s detractors for the reports of drama.

“When you’re doing a transition that is trying to push the kind of change that Mr. Trump wants to be doing, it’s going to be even harder,” said Hoekstra, a former House Intelligence Committee chairman.

The incoming Republican administration also got a boost of support from outgoing Vice President Joe Biden, who met with his successor, Mike Pence, continuing the Obama administration’s show of public support for the transition.

“No administration is ready on Day One,” Biden said after the meeting at the Naval Observatory, which serves as the vice presidential residence. He expressed confidence that

by Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, “everything will be in good hands.”

Trump’s team essentially was starting from scratch, scrapping much of the preliminary transition work New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie conducted during the campaign.

After winning the election, Trump demoted Christie and put Pence in charge.

Trump and his family, wife Melania, daughter Ivanka (seated right), daughter Tiffany (seated second row from left), and sons Donald Jr. and Eric at his home Friday in New York. Trump plans to eschew a blind trust and instead hand control of his Trump Organization to three of his adult children.

Trump’s businesses could create conflicts

By BERNARD CONDON The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Asked on TV earlier this year whether a President Donald Trump would ever mix politics with business, his eldest son, Donald Jr., said there was no risk of that.

The son, an executive in his father’s company, insisted the two wouldn’t discuss the business if Dad ever got to the White House.

Then Donald Jr. added two words: “Trust me.”

The American people may have little choice.

The tradition stretching back to Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s is for presidents to put personal holdings such as stocks into a “blind trust” run by an independent trustee with no ties to the occupant of the Oval Office. But as with so many other areas of politics, Trump looks ready to upend this time-honored practice.

Trump’s plans to hand control of his Trump Organization to three of his adult children and not a trustee

cannot be considered a blind trust, said Kenneth Gross, head of political law at the firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

Even if the president-elect were to appoint a trustee with no family ties, that would probably not remove the potential for Trump to use his new power over policy to enrich himself.

Liquidating Trump’s holdings would be difficult, and so he would always be aware of what assets he holds.

Voters have long worried about elected officials using their power to line their pockets – or those of business partners – and shape policies to advance their private interests. But rarely has an incoming president represented such potential for conflicts of interest.

No previous commander in chief has brought with him such a sprawling business empire with so much complexity, opaqueness and opportunity for self-dealing.

Trump owns golf clubs, office towers and other properties in several countries. He holds ownership stakes

in more than 500 companies. He has struck licensing deals for use of his name on hotels and other buildings around the world and has been landing new business in even more countries – in the Middle East, India and South America.

Gross calls Trump’s holdings “unprecedented” in size and complexity for a president, a “tangled web” of potential conflicts that would be difficult to unravel.

As it turns out, Trump doesn’t even have to try.

Presidents are not required to set up blind trusts. In fact, they can even run a business from the White House, although Trump has said he will not.

Federal ethics rules put strict limits on nearly all government employees and elected officials to prevent self-dealing, but the rules do not apply to the president.

One area where the public interest could clash with the personal involves Trump’s influence over federal agencies whose decisions affect his businesses.

In turning the government-owned Old Post Office into his new Washington hotel, Trump struck a complex rental and management deal with the General Services Administration. As president, he will appoint the head of the GSA. And one of Trump’s lenders, Deutsche Bank, is in settlement talks with the Justice Department over its role in the mortgage blowup that sparked the 2008 financial crisis. Trump will appoint the head of that agency, too.

For his part, Trump has dismissed the idea that he is even interested in his business now. In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday, he said he was fully engaged in efforts to “save our country.”

“I don’t care about hotel occupancy,” he added. He called matters such as that “peanuts.”

The Trump Organization said in a statement that it is “vetting various structures” with the goal of transferring management to three of Trump’s children, along with a “team of highly skilled executives.”

Johnson excited to go out in style after injury

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: LEWIS 82, UPPER IOWA 60

JAMIE’S BACK

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – It was just less than a year ago when one of Lewis University’s all-time best women’s basketball players, Jamie Johnson, looked like she might have played her final game for the school.

Johnson, the 10th-leading scorer in Flyers history, injured her knee in a game at Grand Valley State, and just six contests into her senior year, the talented guard was lost for the rest of the season.

But she wasn’t quite ready to complete her Lewis career, and after being granted a medical redshirt the 2015 honorable mention All-American and Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Year has returned to the court for her fourth season in six years and clearly has picked up where she left off.

Through her first three games, she already has scored 61 points to give her 1,558 for her career. The 2015 Academic All-American needs to collect 424 more the rest of the way to move past her longtime teammate, Mariyah Brawner-Henley, to become the school’s all-time scoring leader.

Wednesday marked a milestone for Johnson in her return to Neil Carey Arena, where she only got to play two games last season. Playing in the 100th game of her Flyers career, Johnson scored eight points to help her team capture a 82-60 nonconference victory over Upper Iowa in its home opener.

“I’m so happy that I got this opportunity to come back so that I’m able to go out on my own terms and not because of injury,” Johnson said. “I feel good and really don’t think about my knee at all. I feel like I’m back to where

I was at before if not better since I rehabbed hard. It was great to play in front of our home crowd, and I’m glad that we were able to let a lot of people play since it’s good to give everyone some experience.

“Obviously we have a different dynamic this year. Jess Kelliher is still

a beast on the block, but I think you’ll see our guards look more for our shots since we have a lot of offensive weapons at that position. It was good for our team in a sense that I sat out last year because a lot of people were able to get more experience than if I was playing.

I was able to get a different perspective

on things and I’ll be able to use that this season, so that will be helpful.”

The Flyers (2-1) won 78-76 in overtime against Walsh and then dropped a 67-62 decision to Findlay in their second contest.

GIRLS SWIMMING STATE FINALS: LOCKPORT

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com

sophomore Oliwia Wolek is moving on in the 200-yard IM, 100 butterfly and the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relays and sophomore Emily Johnson advanced in the 200-yard freestyle and the 200 and 400 freestyle relays.

Merk is in very special company because she posted the best sectional time in the 100 butterfly (:55.52). She also had the sixth-best time in the 100 backstroke (:56.83). The Porters have only had three medal winners who have placed in the top-four at state and none have finished better than third. Courtney Pope captured two top-four medals in 2009.

“Lindsey is one of those swimmers that come along every once in awhile,” Ferkaluk said. “She loves to work hard, is driven and knows how to handle the pressure. She’s been in the limelight and swam at big meets but it’s a little different when you’re swimming for your school.

Oliwia moved here from Poland and has brought some diversity since she

can swim the IM, breaststroke and the fly. And Emily has really done a nice job in the middle distance.”

Seniors Brittney O’Neill and Lauren Estes both qualified in the 200 medley and 200 freestyle relays while Estes also moved on in the 400 freestyle relay. Senior Makayla Kraus will also compete with the 200 freestyle relay.

The 200 freestyle relay features the same lineup as last year’s state squad while O’Neill and Estes also swam on the 200 medley relay at the 2016 state meet. Estes was also on a 200 medley relay that qualified for state during her freshman season.

“Lauren has been our rock at the back of our races,” Ferkaluk said.

“She’s anchored our medley relay and our 200 and 400 free relays. She knows that she needs to bring it home for us. Brittney leads off the medley in the backstroke and also leads off in the 200 free relay and knows how to get us started. It’s great to have them as the bookends.”

• WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Continued from page 22

A year ago, Johnson collected 133 points after scoring 1,120 during her sophomore and junior seasons. Her 619 points in 2014-2015 were the thirdbest total in school history.

Despite missing the services of Johnson for most of last season, firstyear coach Kristen Gillespie led the Flyers to a 28-3 record as they were ranked among the nation’s top teams throughout the campaign.

The Flyers coach is understandably thrilled to have Johnson back on the court.

“Jamie is a really special individual, not just a basketball player,” Gillespie said. “You’re not going to find a finer human being. She’s a perfect 4.0 student and is the best role model. If you want an ambassador for a program or a university, it’s Jamie Johnson. And plus, she’s a pretty good basketball player, which is just icing on the cake.

“I’ve never coached a kid in my 18-plus years that works harder than Jamie. She’s in the gym constantly.

You want a kid like that to be rewarded and to end their career the way it should. Not only is she a great player but she’s a great leader and mentor for our younger kids to kind of learn from and to emulate what it takes to be a great player.”

While two-time All-American Brawner-Henley obviously can’t be replaced, with Johnson’s return, the

Flyers return enough key performers to again be a factor in the GLVC. Sophomore forward Jessica Kelliher, last year’s GLVC Freshman of the Year, was second in scoring in 2016 with 567 points, just 57 behind Brawner-Henley. She led all Division II freshmen in scoring with 18.3 points a game.

The squad’s third-, fourth- and fifth-leading scorers from a year ago, senior guard Alyssa Siwek (220), sophomore guard Kayla Brewer (195) and junior guard Tiana Karopulos (140), are back for the Flyers.

In Wednesday’s contest, Lewis grabbed a 21-13 lead after one quarter and only led 33-24 at the break be-

fore expanding its advantage to 65-40 through three periods.

Leading the way for the Flyers were Kelliher (23 points, 13 rebounds), Siwek (11 points, six assists), Gabby Green (eight points, six assists), Johnson (eight points), Brewer (seven points, five rebounds) and Erica Correa (six points).

LOCKPORT – When a program has won three sectional titles in four years, it’s not likely going to distinguish which of the championships was better than the others.

But it’s understandable why Lockport girls swimming coach Grant Ferkaluk and his team were so encouraged after the Porters followed up on their first conference title of his tenure to win last weekend’s Sandburg Sectional, their second title in a row.

A year ago, Lockport qualified two relays and two divers for state, while in 2013, it advanced one relay, an individual in two events and a pair of divers. Last Saturday, the Porters got qualifying efforts from all three relays and also advanced three individuals in five events to this weekend’s state finals in Evanston.

And while those other sectionals

were each won over Sandburg by less than 10 points, the margin of victory over the Eagles this time was 34 points.

“This is a great group of girls,” Ferkaluk said. “It’s a nice mix of seniors who have kind of been rocks of our program all the way through to some freshmen, who are significantly contributing. It’s a good situation for us going forward, and it also helped some of our seniors to find some success to get to the state meet and be able to swim on some of those relays.

“We’re getting good talent coming through and consistently finishing at the top of meets. The girls in this program now understand the commitment to being at that level and adhere to that so they’re willing to put the work in to help them get to that point.”

Freshman Lindsey Merk qualified in the 100-yard butterfly, 100yard backstroke and on the 200-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relays,

Multitasking helps Plainfield North to semifinals VIEWS Dick Goss A change that occurred in the world of high school football over time was the move to the two-platoon system.

Years ago, even among larger schools, at least five or six players usually started on both sides of the ball.

Now, it is not uncommon to find instances, especially among larger schools, where there are 11 different starters on each side of the ball.

Plainfield North (10-2), which will travel to Triton College in River Grove to take on Fenwick (11-1) in Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. Class 7A semifinal, falls into the two-platoon category. However, there are a few Tigers who make their presence felt in more ways than one.

As a group, they deserve a sizable chunk of the credit for North’s historic run. Before this season, only one Plainfield school had advanced as far as the quarterfinals, and North never had won a playoff game.

The multitasking list begins with defensive lineman Ari Ekowa.

He weighs about 245 pounds and is quick for his position. Coach Tim Kane related that opposing coaches have told him how difficult it is account for Ekowa’s quickness. He is one of many reasons the Tigers are allowing 8.5 points a game, the fifth-best points-against average in all of Illinois.

Ekowa also played some on the offensive line all season. As the Tigers have gotten further into the playoffs, however, he has been involved in the offense more and more. He was at left guard virtually all the way in the 30-7 quarterfinal victory over Rockford Auburn.

The rest of the Tigers’ offensive line – center Will Vido, right guard Nathan Lindroth, left tackle Dylan Zepeda and right tackle Tony Little – has been playing so well with Ekowa that North has unleashed its many offensive weapons to the tune of nearly a 41-point average over its seven-game winning streak.

Also handling more than one job are Dillion McCarthy, Kevin Block and Connor Peplow.

McCarthy, not big but lightning quick and strong, is a regular in the defensive secondary, one of the team leaders in interceptions and comes up and delivers his share of big-time hits.

Tyler Hoosman is North’s No. 1 running back, having rushed for

1,539 yards. But with Joe Stiffend missing the entire season with injury and Carlos Baggett out since late in the regular season, McCarthy has stepped up and become a huge factor spelling Hoosman.

On North’s first scoring drive last week, Hoosman was shaken up when he was drilled immediately after catching a pass in the left flat.

That set up a third-and-4 at the Tigers’ 39-yard line.

McCarthy replaced Hoosman and ran 10 yards from the wildcat formation for a first down. Then, on third-and-10, he raced down the right sideline and hauled in a 32yard pass from Brady Miller to set up a first down at the Auburn 19.

He followed that with a 13-yard run to the 6, using all his quickness and shiftiness. Finally, he powered his way into the end zone, pushing the pile the final couple of yards to complete the 6-yard touchdown run.

Block, meanwhile, is one of the best cover cornerbacks around.

Opponents have completed less than one pass a game in his direction over the course of the season. He also joins McCarthy returning punts and kickoffs and holds on place kicks, which are handled by Peplow.

Early in the season, before Miller settled in at quarterback, he filled in there.

Block could be matched early and often Saturday against Fenwick’s 6-foot-5 Mike O’Laughlin, who has caught 50 passes for 900 yards and eight touchdowns. If so, it will be quite a battle.

Peplow is the Tigers’ leading receiver with 47 receptions for 731 yards, a 15.5 average, and seven touchdowns. He also has been ripping off good-size chunks of yardage on jet sweeps that North has been running to get him into situations where his speed can be used to the fullest.

As a place-kicker, Peplow has made about 90 percent of his extra points. The 23-yard field goal he kicked against Auburn, falling as his plant foot slipped, produced three points that probably would not have happened without his athleticism.

North is solid at every position on both sides of the ball, not a team of a few superstars.

If the Tigers do finish the journey to the state championship game in Champaign, however, Ekowa, McCarthy, Block and Peplow likely will be vitally involved, one way or another.

26 BOYS BASKETBALL: ROMEOVILLE

Romeoville can be a factor in WJOL tourney

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com London Stamps, a junior who would have been entering his third season as a starting guard on the Romeoville boys basketball team, transferred to North Lawndale in Chicago this month.

Normally, that sort of loss would be devastating. However, for Spartans coach Marc Howard, whose team opens the season next week in the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic at University of St. Francis, he actually might lose a little less sleep.

Not that there was anything wrong with Stamps. Far from it.

“Stamps is a loss, no doubt,” Howard said.

On the other hand, Howard added, “With Stamps, we were looking at eight guards who can play. Even with him gone, we are extremely deep at that spot. We have a lot of potential there.

“I still don’t know how the playing time will work out, but it may be a little easier to figure out than it would have been.”

DeAndre Heckard, also a junior and a three-year starter, returns at guard and might not be recognizable to anyone who watched him previously.

“His game exploded over the summer,” Howard said. “The only player that I’ve been associated with who had that sort of jump in one summer was Marlon Johnson, when I was at Joliet West.”

Howard said Heckard has Division I offers from Drake, Coppin State and Bethune-Cookman, with more to come.

“We had coaches from 16 or 17 Division I schools watching our open gym,” the coach said.

Another guard who showed a huge upside last season as a freshman is Mike Salter.

“He played big minutes as a freshman, has tons of potential and can play either guard spot,” Howard said.

Then there’s 5-foot-10 junior Kahlil Blakney, another varsity veteran.

“He’s a super athletic kid and a motor player,” Howard said. “He can shoot the 3.”

Ibam Padilla, a junior coming up from the sophomore team, and Demonta Dale, a transfer from Morton in Cicero, are among the other guards who could contribute.

On the front line, the Spartans, who finished 10-17 last season, lost their leader with the graduation of forward Matt Cappelletti. However, junior Dontia Johnson has grown

Johnson has grown a couple of inches since last season and is attracting college interest. from 6-5 to 6-7 since last season and is attracting college interest.

“He has visited Bethune-Cookman, Drake and SIU-Edwardsville,” Howard said. “He’s 6-7 with guard skills. We are excited about his upside.”

Destin Whitaker, a talented 6-4 freshman, also is in the mix on the front line.

“He’ll be counted on to play heavy minutes,” Howard said. “He has tons of potential.”

Howard said there will be “a lot of good basketball next week” in the WJOL tournament, and the Spartans are excited to be involved.

“We’re talking higher expectations than my three previous years here,” he said. “It’s been awhile

since we could say we stepped on the hardwood playing team basketball in terms of giving 100 percent, with passion and purpose. Now we think we can.

“Every year our program has taken strides. We have gotten better.

We tell the kids, that’s what we take pride in.”

Romeoville will open in the tournament Monday against Joliet Central in a game that will be played at 7 p.m. at Joliet Junior College. The rest of the tournament, including three other Monday games, will be at USF. Joliet Central and Joliet West will be in the Southwest Prairie Conference this season and figure to provide some of the toughest competition for the other SPC teams.

“When it comes down to competing against the elite teams in the conference, we want to be there,” Howard said. “The meaningful games, we want to be there.”

One thing that is different this season, for Romeoville and the Joliet area, is the Romeoville Christmas Classic is no more. The Romeoville tournament replaced the Lemont Christmas Classic, which began in the 1970s, so a four-decade or so run for the local Christmas tournament is ending.

The Spartans will play in the Big Dipper at Rich South at Christmas.

“East Aurora grabbed six or seven of our teams for their tournament,” Howard said. “We just couldn’t do it any more. We’re looking forward to playing in the Dipper.”

EASTERN CONFERENCE

Nationals’ Scherzer, Boston’s Porcello win Cy Young Awards The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Rick Porcello of the Boston Red Sox won the AL Cy Young Award by a narrow margin, and Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals has taken the NL prize.

Porcello led the majors with 22 wins and beat out Detroit’s Justin Verlander and Cleveland’s Corey Kluber in results announced Wednesday. Porcello got only eight first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America while Verlander drew 14.

But Porcello drew more support across the board and was listed by all 30 voters – Verlander was left off two ballots.

Scherzer become the sixth pitcher to win the Cy Young in both leagues, earning the NL honor by a wide margin. He led the majors with 284 strikeouts and topped the league with 20 wins, and beat out Cubs teammates Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks.

Rose Sochan’s Christmas concert and final CD release party is Sunday

Know more “A Christmas Rose” CD is currently available at Messiah Lutheran Church for $12. A portion of CD sales benefits the church. Rose said she also has limited copies of her other two CDs.

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

If you go

JOLIET – Even when Rose Sochan’s father had dementia, he loved to hear her play piano.

Especially Christmas music. Especially “Silent Night.”

“And he still knew the words,” said Sochan, who recently celebrated 40 years as an organist at Messiah Lutheran Church in Joliet.

So when Sochan finally decided to record a third and final CD, she wanted it to be a Christmas CD. Sochan dedicated “A Christmas Rose” to the memory of her parents, Ray and Rose Sochan, who both died in 2011 within six months of each other.

But whereas Rose’s first two CDs featured only her piano solos, “A Christmas Rose” has additional elements – an organ and a string trio.

“I mentally heard all the strings, chimes, hand bells and organ parts and knew exactly where I wanted them to perform,” Rose said in a written statement. “My accompanists, Heather Godsey, Linda May, Jessica Kus and my daughter, Diane Santorineos, enhanced my music, and I am so grateful for their talent.”

Rose’s other daughter, Debbie Santorineos, did Rose’s hair and makeup for the CD cover. Rose calls her co-producer Kathy Carlson her “pillar of strength” and the woman who turned Rose’s dream of recording into a reality.

A musical beginning

Rose began taking organ lessons at age 9, eventually studying piano and organ at both Joliet Junior College and the College of St. Francis (now University of St. Francis) in Joliet, and earning a bachelor’s degree in music from Lewis University in Romeoville.

When Rose was 15, her uncle, George Sochan, was killed in a boating accident. So Rose’s father, Ray, sold his business – Ray’s Food Mart – and took over George’s business, Sochan Music Center.

In 1976, when Rose was 23, Ray closed the music store. When Ray did, he gave Rose and each of her two siblings organs from the store. Because Rose also played piano, Ray gave Rose a baby grand, too.

Around this time, Rose’s career as a church organist blossomed.

n WHAT: “A Christmas Rose” CD release concert n WHEN: 3 p.m Sunday n WHERE: Messiah Lutheran Church, 19901 Houbolt Road, Joliet n ETC.: Rose Sochan on piano along with a string trio and other musical guests. Ice cream social will follow the concert. A portion of CD sales benefits Messiah Lutheran Church. The concert is free. n KNOW MORE: For information, call the church at 815-741-4488.

Rose Sochan of Joliet, organist for 40 years at Messiah Lutheran Church in Joliet, will present a free concert at the church on Sunday.

More online Visit this story at TheHerald-News.com to view a video of Rose Sochan playing the grand piano at Messiah Lutheran Church in Joliet.

While browsing through the former free weekly The Jolly Shopper, Rose read Messiah Lutheran Church’s advertisement seeking an organist. A Byzantine Catholic, Rose had no experiential knowledge of the Lutheran denomination. But she was willing to give it a try.

“I learned it was very, very close to Catholic, almost identical,” Rose said.

For a time, Rose played an upright

piano until someone anonymously donated a Yamaha S4 grand piano to the church. That piano has the “musicality of a concert grand,” Rose said, and is “a joy and inspiration for me to play.”

The Rev. David Nygard, senior pastor at Messiah Lutheran Church, said Rose’s piano music is a major part of the church’s Sunday morning experience.

“I think pastors can come and go, and people would adjust,” Nygard said.

“But I think, if she left, it would leave a big emptiness in our church and a hole in the worship service.”

Rose branches out

Eventually, Rose’s listeners urged her to record a CD. So 15 years ago Rose did, at the church, because the

recording engineer of “Rose’s Garden of Faith” liked the acoustics, and Rose liked the space.

Rose picked a Sunday afternoon, thinking it would be quiet. She didn’t know about the motorcycle rally.

“Every time one went by, we had to start over,” Rose said. “And then an airplane would go by. We’d get up to the last song and have to start over.”

Rose dedicated her first CD to her daughters. She released her second CD – “Rose’s Petals of Faith” – in 2007. She dedicated that one to God. Through the years, Rose has performed pop music at nightclubs, lounges and even in her brother’s rock band.

In college, Rose played mostly classical compositions. At church, Rose played Christian music.

Starting 15 years ago, Rose also has played for weddings at the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate in Joliet. But the most difficult pieces Rose ever played were “Here I Am Lord” at her mother’s funeral and “Amazing Grace” at her father’s.

And yet – whenever Rose plays, she enchants her listeners. Sue Pritz-Bornhofen, owner of the Jacob Henry Mansion, said she can’t give enough accolades about Rose.

Pritz-Bornhofen said Rose consults with engaged couples about the types of music that will reproduce well in the 19th century Old Central Church that’s part of the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate.

“She’s very talented,” Pritz-Bornhofen said, “not only on the pipe organ in the church but on the grand piano in there. She brings the most beautiful sounds to the wedding.”

The HERALD-NEWS PLAINFIELD – To raise support for west suburban families in its programs, Bridge Communities hosted the 13th annual “Sleep Out Saturday” on Nov. 5.

On this night, an estimated 2,000 youth and young adults gave up warm beds and safe homes to participate in this outdoor, all-night fundraiser.

Among the participants were youth from Plainfield North High School.

Themed “#HomelessNoMore,” the event will consisted of 50 west suburban

sleep-out sites on church lawns, school parking lots and in family backyards.

From within cardboard boxes and tents, they created awareness of the growing need for shelter for at-risk families and raise money to support Bridge Communities’ housing, lifeskills, mentoring, financial counseling, employment training, tutoring and auto programs.

The event was free and open to the public. It featured live music, K-Love radio personalities and personal testimonials from current Bridge Communities families.

Eli Dunn, Renell Hansen and Adam Hass from Plainfield North High School participated in Bridge Communities’ 13th annual “Sleep Out Saturday” on Nov. 5.

Dear Dr. K: My wife and I have tried to

need further testing.

If your semen analysis is abnormal, your doctor will take a complete medical history and test your hormone levels. The doctor also will perform a physical exam.

He or she will look for evidence of genital infections, blocked sperm tubules in the testes or shrinkage of the testicles.

Particularly if the physical examination indicates there is a problem, various tests often are ordered. You may need an ultrasound of the testicles and scrotum to find any possible blockages. Your sperm may be tested. The role of the sperm is to swim toward a woman’s egg and to fertilize it. The ability of the sperm to swim in semen can be studied with a microscope.

So can the ability of your sperm to penetrate a hamster egg. If it can’t, it likely will not be able to penetrate a human egg.

Genetic tests may be performed.

Several gene defects have been identified in recent years. Finally, a biopsy of the testicles may show any of several diseases that impair the production of sperm.

If there is a specific reason for your infertility, it may be possible to treat. If you have no treatment options, consider assisted-reproduction techniques, such as artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization. Problems with fertility often have a solution – with a healthy baby as a result.

get pregnant for more than a year. We’re going to be tested soon to see if anything is wrong. I’m worried the problem lies with me. What are some reasons for a man to be infertile?

Dear Reader: About one in seven couples in the United States are unable to conceive a child after trying for one year.

The infertility is caused either by the man alone (about 40 percent of the time), by the woman alone (about 40 percent of the time) or by both partners (about 20 percent of the time). So it is possible something about you is responsible for your wife’s difficulty with becoming pregnant.

Male infertility may be caused by a variety of problems: • Hormonal problems. For example, low levels of testosterone (the main male hormone) or thyroid hormone.

• Problems with the testicles. These include abnormal growth or development or damage from trauma and infections.

• Problems with the flow of sperm. This may include blocked tubes that transport sperm or problems with ejaculation.

• Abnormal sperm function. This may affect the ability of sperm to fertilize an egg.

• Exposure to toxins. Radiation, for example, or industrial chemicals.

• Medications and drugs. These include psychiatric medications, alcohol and anabolic steroids used for bodybuilding.

Your evaluation likely will begin with a semen analysis. This test measures the amount and quality of your semen and the number and quality of sperm. If your semen analysis is normal, you might not

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I’m a divorced and remarried Jeanne mother of two Phillips adult children.

Both live on their own and have decent jobs. After the divorce, I managed to keep a roof over our heads, food on the table and provide college for my children.

My ex-husband, their father, sporadically paid child support, which resulted in an arrearage owed for the past nine years.

Recently, I received a substantial sum of the balance I was owed for back child support.

My dilemma is my children feel because their father is having financial problems (finances were always his issue), I should give the money back to him because I am financially secure.

Abby, they are ignoring everything I had to do to support them while they were still dependents and my responsibility. Add into that their health care, extracurricular activities, Christmases and birthdays, etc.

I feel I have every right to keep the money.

I have told this to my kids, but they are mad at me because I can’t seem to get the message across. – Flustered In Florida Dear Flustered: You were divorced from this man for good reason. What you have received for shouldering the entire responsibility for raising your children is yours and yours alone.

Do not apologize to anyone for what you prefer to do with the money. And for your sake, please don’t allow yourself be trapped or guilted into doing anything against your better judgment.

Dear Abby: I love my sister. She’s well-educated, intelligent and fun, but she has let herself go.

We are both in our 60s and, unfortunately, those pesky whiskers are starting to appear on our faces. She recently had surgery and when I visited her, I noticed a lot of hairs sprouting from her chin. I offered to pluck them or take her to a spa and have them removed. She refused.

My friends and I have made a pact to pluck each other’s whiskers if we are ever in a hospital and can’t do it ourselves. Should I just let it go or, the next time I see her, remind her many people would be put off if they saw her? Or is it just me? – Whiskerless Sister Dear Whiskerless: It’s not “just you.” Depilatories are popular because most American women wouldn’t want to be caught dead with obvious facial hair.

Your letter brought back memories, one of which was my mother telling me her first executive assistant, Katie, had made Mama promise in the event of Katie’s demise, Mama would bring a razor to the viewing and, while standing at the casket, “whisk” off her mustache so no one would see it.

I can’t say whether your sister was in so much pain from her surgery she didn’t want to add to it by being plucked. Talk to her again when she’s feeling better and she may offer up her chin. If not, love her the way she is – fur and all – because she’s happy that way.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Put more time and effort into your home, family and promises. You can make a difference to someone in need if you are willing to offer your time and expertise. A donation will not be as effective as hands-on help. Let your intuition guide you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Present what you have to offer. Take action and do what comes naturally. Your intense desire to achieve and excel will be difficult for anyone competing with you to match.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be realistic when dealing with personal finances, settlements or health issues. If you listen to the

information being given to you, you’ll discover a way to satisfy your needs as well as the needs of others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Share your feelings with someone you love or respect.

It’s important to have a confidante to run your ideas by before you put them into play. Don’t overdo it, overspend or overreact.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – It’s a good day to engage in creative endeavors and things that bring you satisfaction. Don’t dispute something you know little about. Do your research and weigh the pros and cons.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Home and family should be your top priority. If you want to improve your surroundings or add to your comfort and convenience, start the ball rolling.

Your accomplishments will please you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Keep an open mind, but don’t give in to emotional pressure someone is putting on you. Keep your personal plans a secret until they are ready for the world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Plan a gathering with the people whom you love and enjoy.

Sharing ideas, vacation plans or fun activities to do will give you something to look forward to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – A relationship will falter if you let someone tamper with your emotions. You need to lay your cards on the table and find out where you stand.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Do something out of the ordinary. Taking part in a community event that will teach you about different cul-

tures or promote new opportunities will lead to a new pastime.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You can make strategic financial moves if you make changes to your investment portfolio or take a greater interest in upgrading your qualifications. Don’t give up, when you can take charge.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – It’s a good day to fix up your residence or make romantic plans.

A subtle alteration to your appearance will give you the confidence you need to pursue your goals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Strive to feel at peace. Don’t listen to anyone trying to pressure you into something that isn’t right for you. Make alterations that will improve your living arrangements.

Susanne Langer, a philosopher who was well known for her theories on the influences of art on the mind, said, “A signal is comprehended if it serves to make us notice the object or situation it bespeaks.”

At the bridge table, a good defender signals to his partner, but, obviously, a signal will only serve him well if partner comprehends it. In today’s deal, West leads the heart ace against four spades. What happens after that?

North’s three-heart advance is called a “mixed raise.” It showed four-card support and 7-9 high-card points. It is also usually made with a nine-loser hand, so North’s call was an overbid because he had 10 losers, given the probable uselessness of the heart queen after East’s opening bid. But if North had settled for two spades (or a pre-emptive three spades, which would also have been debatable with 4-3-3-3 distribution), it would have ruined a good story.

West led the heart ace, and East signaled encouragingly with the 10.

If West had started with only two hearts, East wanted his partner to continue the suit. However, West had three hearts and he knew that East’s play denied the heart jack, because East would have signaled with the top of his touching cards. If West had led a second heart, shortly thereafter declarer would have discarded a diamond loser on dummy’s heart queen.

Instead, West shifted to the diamond eight.

South took East’s jack with his ace, drew trumps ending in the dummy and led the heart six, but East won with his king and cashed two diamond tricks to defeat the contract.
