Donating to Herald Angels program can make huge impact in Will County People have plenty of reasons to give.

Maybe you or someone close to you were affected by an illness or hunger.

Maybe you have the ability to share with those in need. Maybe you make that your mission. And maybe you are hoping to make an impact for local families.

The holidays tend to be the time people give the most. That’s also when those in need likely need the most.

That’s why you will find our Gotta Do It calendars this time of year filled with fundraising campaigns and it’s also why, for the seventh time in eight years, we are running the Herald Angels program.

The program is simple and straightforward, encouraging Herald-News readers and giving them a simple way to support the United Way of Will County.

Why does supporting Will County United Way make sense?

Well, the United Way is one of the best ways to make that local impact.

Will County United Way CEO Michael

Hennessy said there is no contribution one can make that will help more individuals and families in Will County than one’s contribution to the United Way of Will County Contributions United Way of Will County receive from the Herald Angels program will be used to fund 109 programs provided by 46 local partner agencies that benefit the residents of Will County.

As with so many programs, the need remains great. Requests for funding to the United Way of Will County were up 15 percent this year compared with the previous year, yet revenues were down 8 percent.

Helping is simple.

And, over the next month, we will be showcasing some of those partner agencies and the difference that they make with stories in the Monday editions starting after Thanksgiving.

We’ll keep reminding you about Herald Angels, too, because we know how important it is and our goal is to provide you with the local news and information you need, but also to make a positive impact locally.

Donating isn’t tough.

Just send a check payable to “Herald Angels” to The Herald-News at 2175 Oneida St., Joliet, IL, 60435, or go to the United Way of Will County’s website, www. uwwill.org, to make an online donation.

Thank you in advance for your Herald Angels donations. Let’s make this a holiday season that makes a difference for all.

Will County to seek LEED certification on new courthouse

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Design of the Will County Judicial Center is trending toward Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Certification.

In relation to that, the Will County Board on Thursday authorized the County Executive’s Office to amend a contract with design firm Wight & Co. The measure adds $200,000 onto the $12.46 million contract. The money pays for additional services required to guide the building toward a certification.

The authorization passed with 17 yes votes and five no votes. Voting no were board members Chuck Maher, R-Naperville; Darren Bennefield, R-Aurora; Gretchen Fritz, R-Plainfield; Suzanne Hart, R-Naperville; and Ray Tuminello, R-New Lenox.

Maher and Tuminello spoke out against the spending at prior committee meetings and again Thursday at the full board meeting.

Tuminello said he’d rather see the $200,000 go to Wight & Co. to “engineer

even better efficiencies in the building” or to make the building better match the community. He said the money could go toward the exterior skin of the building in an effort to make it better fit the look of downtown Joliet.

He added he believes when the $195 million project finally goes to bid, companies will see it’s a LEED project and bids will come back higher, he said.

On top of that, Tuminello said he’s unsure federal grants, which the county is expecting to receive to “wash out” the $200,000 expense, will even be available with the change of administration in Washington, D.C. He also cited the country and state’s debt as reasons not to expect the grants.

The LEED application is being submitted before new standards take effect.

The current standards took effect in 2009, and Maher wondered if the LEED plaque would be “watered down” because higher standards are coming into play next year.

He also was unsure about receiving the grants and thought there were better ways to spend the money.

ON THE COVER

Meanwhile board members Mike Fricilone, R-Homer Glen; Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort; and Beth Rice, D-Bolingbrook, spoke in favor of the expense.

“Not only does it show what our values are as a county moving forward, but it’s a misrepresentation that it’s a $200,000 cost because some of the costs are offset,” Rice said, noting the expectancy of grant reimbursement.

Moustis said it wouldn’t send the right message for the county to preach standards of environmental friendliness and energy efficiency and then not pursue LEED certification.

Fricilone said the certification would show Will County is a progressive community.

“We’re trying to get more businesses into this community,” Fricilone said.

“We’ve got a lot of warehouses – that’s great. But when you want to get corporate America to come in here, they’re going to look at what kind of community is this.

LEED certification shows you’re a progressive community and shows you’re trying to move forward.”

The Tigers celebrate their 18-17 victory over Fenwick on Saturday during the IHSA Class 7A semifinals at Triton College in River Grove. Plainfield North will play East St. Louis on Saturday during the IHSA Class 7A Championship in Champaign.

90 YEARS OF PRESERVATION Forest Preserve District of Will County now has nearly 22,000 acres

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com Will County has grown and so have its forest preserves.

The Forest Preserve District of Will County this year is marking its 90th anniversary.

The benchmark year has not come with any major events or celebrations.

But it has offered a chance to reflect on how preservation of open lands has changed the landscape of a county that has become increasingly urban and suburban since 1926.

Since the first land acquisition in 1930, the forest preserves have grown from 144 acres at Messenger Woods

in Homer Township to nearly 22,000 acres today.

The acreage of land preserved from development vastly grew during the 1990s when Ralph Schultz, now the chief operating officer of the Forest Preserve District, was hired as a landscape architect.

At the time, Schultz said, the Forest Preserve District was acquiring land, trying to preserve it, while developers were rapidly acquiring property to build on.

There was an “explosive growth in the county,” Schultz said. “People looked out their back windows on

what used to be a farm and was now a subdivision. Or, what used to be a two-lane road was now a five-lane road.”

From the acquisition of Messenger Woods to the late 1980s, the Forest Preserve District grew to about 6,000 acres. More than 15,000 acres have been acquired since.

But it has always been concern about the loss of land to development that spurred the expansion of the Forest Preserve District, Schultz said.

“Back in the 1920s, they were seeing some development proposals and some development pressures,” Schultz said. “Those same kind of concerns were present in the 1980s and 1990s.”

Conservation movement

The formation of the Forest Preserve District of Will County came as a conservation movement was growing in Illinois and the United States.

Illinois law first permitted forest preserve districts in 1913. The Forest Preserve District of Cook County was established in 1914. The National Park Service was created in 1916.

“There was this great awareness in the early 1900s that as a nation we had not treated our environment well,” said Brook McDonald, president and CEO of The Conservation

Benchmark years in Forest Preserve District of Will County history 1926: Voters approve creation of Forest Preserve District of Will County on Nov. 2.

1930: Messenger Woods in Homer Township becomes the district’s first forest preserve.

1932: Hammel Woods in Shorewood is acquired.

1942: Hickory Creek Preserve in Frankfort Township is formed, the first of many acquisitions along the county’s longest creek.

1970s: The District acquires 2,124 acres, part of a movement throughout collar counties to protect land from development.

1989: The District issues $50 million in bonds, which is used to bring total acreage to 5,754 acres.

1999: Voters approve $70 million bond referendum to expand forest preserves.

2005: Voters approve $95 million bond referendum for land acquisition and improvement projects.

2011: Forest preserve acreage tops 20,000 acres.

Foundation. “If you look at the history of conservation in this country, it all started about 100 years ago.”

Will County preservation efforts in more recent decades also followed a regional pattern, McDonald said.

A “sense of urgency” arose in the 1970s in the collar counties of Chicago with suburban development, he said.

The Conservation Foundation, which is in a section of Naperville in Will County, was created in 1972.

The popularity of preservation has been shown in the passage of referendums totaling $1.3 billion for public acquisition of open land in the collar counties since the early 1990s, he said.

“People will vote no for good things like schools and libraries,”

McDonald said. “They have never voted down an open space referendum since the early 1990s.”

Will County preservation

The Forest Preserve District of Will County was created by a referendum on Nov. 2, 1926, that passed by more than a 2-to-1 margin.

Will County voters in 1999 and 2005 approved referendums providing the Forest Preserve District with a combined $165 million for land acquisition.

The Forest Preserve District had already been busy for years preserving land. By 2000, the district had more than 12,300 acres.

“I think Will County is a much better place to live because of the forest preserves,” said Rita Renwick, a

Joliet resident and longtime member of the Will County Audubon Society.

Renwick moved to the area in the early 1970s and said she found it remarkable that she would find more forest land as she drove to Chicago.

“It was shocking to me that there was all this preserved forest in Cook County, and here we didn’t have so much,” she said.

Now, she said, the Will County Audubon Society organizes field trips to try to visit all the forest preserves throughout Will County.

In the neighborhood

People today have more access to forest preserves, not only because there are more of them, but because they are closer to home, Schultz said.

“We became part of your community,” he said. “We are down the street in your town rather than off in some forest.”

The Joliet Iron Works Historic Site, which marks the remains of a former industrial site along a bike and hiking trail, and the Isle a la Cache museum in Romeoville, which tells the story of early French explorers and Native Americans, are two Forest Preserve District sites that reflect how forest preserves have changed over the years.

Dog parks, too, bring more people into the forest preserves, Schultz said.

“People wanted not only to enjoy property,” he said. “They also wanted to enjoy them and use them.”

New director making big plans for downtown library “We don’t want just one day a year. We want to be a destination for many days of the year.”

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Megan Millen wants to make the Joliet Public Library a downtown destination point.

Millen is the library’s new executive director.

She started Nov. 7 and talked last week during a welcome reception about her first impressions.

“I have a great staff who really wants to help people. There’s tons of potential in this historic building,” Millen said.

Putting the two together, Millen said she thinks the main library building on Ottawa Street can become a bigger draw than it is now. She even sees it as a destination point to bring people downtown.

The Joliet Public Library includes the newer Black Road Branch.

The downtown library does draw thousands of people each June for its annual Star Wars Day, and Millen brightened up at the mention of the event. But she said the library can do more.

“We don’t want just one day a year,” she said. “We want to be a destination for many days of the year.”

Millen comes to Joliet from the Flossmoor Public Library, where she was director for 14 years. During that time, a

The Joliet Public Library main building opened in 1903 and was designed by the firm of Daniel Burnham, one of Chicago’s greatest architects and planners.

len said. “He’s one of my heroes.”

She is the fourth executive director of the library since 2009, a subject that was brought up by the board as it met candidates for the job.

“You’re not going to interview the fifth director in several years,” Millen said. “I have a lot to do. I want to accom-

plish it.”

Millen talked about activities for children, adults and families as potential draws to bring people to the downtown branch on a regular basis. Some interior changes could make the building more inviting as well, she said.

“What I appreciate about Megan is her enthusiasm, the passion that she brought and her vision,” said library board President Lynn Poper Samalea. “One of the questions I asked her was, ‘Where do you expect to be in five years?’ She was emphatic. She wants to be at the Joliet library.”

Board member Diane Harris said Millen “stood out because of her sparkle. She was excited about what she could do for the library. She thought the potential was there.”

If you have a flex spending account or a health saving account use those funds to offset the uncovered cost of glasses or contacts.

By Diane Krieger Spivak You have a vision insurance plan.

Understanding how to use it can get you the most coverage and save you money in the long run.

First, it’s important to understand what vision insurance covers, which is typically regular eye exams and contact lenses or glasses. Certain plans also cover LASIK surgery, according to eHealth. Vision plans do not cover medical issues like diseases or injuries, which fall under health insurance.

Before making an appointment make sure your eye care professional accepts your insurance and is in-network. You can go to an out-of-network provider but it will cost more.

Vision insurance may limit eye exams to one per year and glasses or contacts every two years, and may cover vision appliances only up to a certain amount.

Also, Know the difference between vision insurance and vision discount plans. Vision discount plans do not provide vision insurance. If you’re considering buying a discount plan, first check with your preferred vision care provider to make sure they accept discount cards.

Always keep abreast of your vision insurance contract period. If you purchase your own vision insurance you may be required to keep the plan for a year before you can cancel it, advises eHealth.

You must be 18 or older to buy vision insurance, so parents must be listed on the same policy as their children. If you are on Medicare, note that Parts A and B do not cover routine vision benefits, but many Medicare Advantage plans do, so check them out.

O’Dekirk replaces 3 Housing Authority commissioners

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor Bob O’Dekirk has replaced half the board of the Housing Authority of Joliet.

O’Dekirk said the changes do not reflect any dissatisfaction with the board or authority, but the members’ terms were expiring.

O’Dekirk said he decided to replace all three of the board members because “it’s always good to have new ideas and a fresh perspective.”

“I think the Housing Authority is doing a very good job,” he said. “[CEO] Michael Simelton is turning things around.”

Those going out are Mittchelena Meade, Patrick Asher and Karen Williams.

Williams has been chairwoman of the board, and Meade, a Joliet accountant, was the previous chairwoman.

Asher was the longest serving member of the board.

Coming in are Glenda McCullum, Angel Conteras and Yvonne White.

O’Dekirk announced the appointments at the Tuesday meeting of the City Council, which unanimously approved all three.

McCullum is pastor of Kingdom Builders International Church in Joliet and a former Housing Authority resident. She once lived in the authority’s Des Plaines Garden Homes apartments, which were demolished earlier this year to make room for the new Water’s Edge mixed-income development under construction.

“I’m just honored and privileged to be part of that committee,” McCullum told the council.

She told the council of her experience as a child when her family moved from a house that had no running water to Des Plaines Garden Homes.

Contreras is active in the Joliet Hispanic community.

White is a resident at the authority’s John C. Murphy Building. She fills a spot on the authority board that must be held by a resident. She replaces Williams, who also is a Housing Authority resident. Other authority commissioners are Roger Powell Jr., Robert Hernandez and Maria Cottrell.

The mayor appoints Housing Authority commissioners, but the city has no direct control of the authority, which is overseen by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Joliet mayor denounces local national anthem protests

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor Bob O’Dekirk last week weighed in on the Colin Kaepernick phenomenon.

O’Dekirk noted two recent incidents of local students not standing up for the national anthem and Pledge of Allegiance while saying community leaders, parents and others should speak out about it.

“I don’t think this is an overwhelming issue in Joliet. This is a very patriotic city,” O’Dekirk said.

“But I think this is an issue that needs to be talked about. ... I think this blatant disrespect of the institutions of this country should not be tolerated.”

O’Dekirk made his comments at the end of the Tuesday City Council meeting, when he and council members are free to speak on a range of issues.

O’Dekirk said his comments were motivated by recent Veterans Day ceremonies. He said showing respect for the flag and national anthem was one way to honor Americans who fought for their country.

He declined to identify the “Joliet grammar school” mentioned in his remarks, but said he was told on the Wednesday after Election Day of an incident in which some students refused to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance.

“I think these young people are obviously misguided,” O’Dekirk said.

He did not identify the high school either. But some students on the Plainfield South High School football team captured media attention when they knelt during the playing of the national anthem at a game in late September.

Kneeling during the national anthem became a trend started by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who said he was doing so because of the treatment of black people and other minorities.

Gun conviction stands, murder trial set for Lockport man, judge rules

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A judge has ruled a prior weapons conviction will stand against a Lockport man who is facing murder charges.

Lonnie M. Pinnick, 26, is scheduled to face trial next month in the Aug. 23, 2015, slaying of Sjontre Thompson. Thompson and his cousin, Keyshaunna Barefield, were leaving a party in the 1400 block of Englewood Avenue Lonnie M. in Joliet when Pinnick Pinnick approached their silver Chevrolet Cruze.

Police said when Barefield put the vehicle in reverse, Pinnick took out a handgun and shot at them. Thompson was killed and Barefield was wounded. But Barefield and Pinnick told

police they’d been having friendly conversation when Pinnick started shooting at unknown attackers across a courtyard.

Pinnick was on parole for a gun possession charge at the time and was carrying a revolver when he was arrested five days later. Thompson and Barefield were shot by a semi-automatic handgun, according to court files.

Judge Dave Carlson said Friday while prior convictions are sometimes not subject to consideration by the court, state law is clear that it’s too late to have a weapons conviction removed after someone has been charged with another weapons offense.

In November 2012, a then-22-yearold Pinnick was arrested by Joliet police for carrying a gun. Pinnick pleaded guilty in January 2013 and was sentenced to five years in prison, but was released in May 2015.

Bolingbrook man gets 40 months in prison for 2014 terror charge

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Mohammed Hamzah Khan, a Bolingbrook resident accused of trying to join a terrorist group, was sentenced Friday in Chicago.

Khan pleaded guilty in October 2015 to a felony charge of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization.

As part of a plea deal, Mohammed Khan received Friday a Hamzah Khan 40-month prison term to be followed by at least 20 years of court supervision, said Joseph Fitzpatrick, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago.

When Khan pleaded guilty in October 2015, prosecutors called for a fiveyear prison sentence and 15 years of closely supervised release as part of a plea deal.

Khan could’ve received up to 15 years in prison for the charge, but cooperation with investigators led prosecutors to recommend the shorter sentence.

Khan, now 21, was arrested in October 2014 at O’Hare International Airport. He and two siblings – then 17 and 16 – were headed to Turkey in an attempt to reach Syria and join the Islamic State after talking online with members of the group, according to the plea agreement.

Khan expected to serve the Islamic State in some form, according to the plea. His siblings were questioned by the FBI at O’Hare but were not charged.

With credit for time served, Khan could be out of prison in early 2018.

Though the U.S. Attorney’s Office wanted a longer sentence, Fitzpatrick said, he noted the terms of supervision are rigorous and the extent of the supervised release – 20 years – is probably the most intensive ever imposed in the district.

Additionally, Khan agreed to several other special conditions.

Among the conditions of the plea agreement, Fitzpatrick said Khan must: participate in a mental health treatment program; consent to a search at any time with or without a warrant; attend violent extremism counseling; and comply with the requirements of a computer monitoring program.

Troy board: Crossroads school to become Cronin; levy moving forward

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – The Troy School District 30-C Board of Education has plans to give a new name to one of the district’s schools in order to honor Troy’s history.

The board voted at its meeting last week to authorize the renaming of Crossroads Elementary School as Cronin Elementary School with the start of the 2017-18 school year, Superintendent Todd Koehl said.

Koehl said Thursday all board members in attendance during the meeting Wednesday voted in favor of the measure. Secretary David Talarico was absent.

The Cronin family has a long legacy in the Troy area. In 1863, the family donated a piece of its farmland for a one-room schoolhouse, and Cronin family members went on to become educators in the schoolhouse and in Troy schools, according to a district memo on the name change. The original schoolhouse now operates as the Cronin Schoolhouse museum at the Joliet Junior College main campus.

“They liked more the significance,” Koehl said of the board’s choice to authorize the renaming in honor of the Cronin family.

In 1971, what is now Crossroads Elementary was constructed and named Teresa Cronin School, the memo stated. Its name has since been changed twice, first to Troy Junior High and then to Crossroads Elementary, because of its proximity to the intersection of Route 52 and

“They [the school board] liked more the significance.”

Todd Koehl

Troy School District 30-C Board of Education superintendent Route 59, Koehl said.

Also last week, the board voted to put the district’s 2016 tentative tax levy on display at the Troy administrative center and set a hearing on the levy for Dec. 21, the date of the board’s next meeting. All members present voted in favor, Koehl said.

Troy Executive Director of Finance and Operations Elaine Colombo said the tentative 2016 levy rate of 4.3939 percent is a balloon levy designed to capture the final equalized assessed value of new construction in the district.

Colombo anticipated that for owners of property that is not new construction, the 2016 tax rate will be between 4.0555 percent and 4.2181 percent. The current tax rate is 4.2522 percent.

“The rate is going to probably go down,” she said.

Colombo said the owner of a $200,000 home in District 30-C should expect to pay about $2,500 in property taxes under the 2016 levy, and will likely see his or her taxes range between remaining flat and increasing by as much as $52.

About $42 million to $44 million will be generated for the district via the 2016 levy, Colombo said.

Both sides met last week at the start of the fall veto session, with more meetings likely after the Thanksgiving holiday. The positions for both sides this time around have changed little since the impasse started in May 2015,

said state Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles. She sits on several of the bipartisan working groups appointed to help hammer out a “grand bargain” that both sides can live with.

“I think we continue to have a philosophical struggle in the state budget between the governor and Democratic leadership in this state, but I think the governor is committed to building

See ILLINOIS BUDGET, page 30

• Sunday, November 20, 2016

While all eyes were on the most divisive presidential election in recent memory, Illinois’ already lousy financial footing got worse.

A forecast revealed Wednesday during a meeting with legislative leaders concluded that the state’s deficit could grow past $5 billion by the June 30 end of the state’s 2017 fiscal year. The state’s pile of unpaid bills, which the state comptroller now pegs at $10.6 billion, could increase to $13 billion.

A subsequent report from the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability increases the estimated unfunded liability for the five state-run pension systems, not including benefits, from $111 billion to $130 billion. Almost one dollar out of four in the state’s general fund goes to pay pensions, a percentage that, given no changes, is sure to increase.

What’s worse, a six-month stopgap budget that lawmakers cobbled together last June to end a budget impasse that lasted for the entire 2016 fiscal year expires Dec. 31. Without an agreement between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic leaders who control the General Assembly, the state could lapse back into operating with-

a framework and being sincere about what he’s looking for in this budget,” McConnaughay said.

But if that includes higher taxes in exchange for some reforms, state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, said both sides can count him out.

“I’m hearing talk about a ‘grand bargain,’ a compromise, and that’s just code for a massive tax increase. When people hear the words ‘grand bargain,’ everybody needs to hold on to their wallets,” McSweeney said.

After a year of operating without a budget, lawmakers on the June 30 final day of the 2016 fiscal year approved a deal that would fully fund state government, social services and higher education through year’s end. Funding for K-12 education was funded through next June.

The standoff began in spring 2015 with Rauner’s veto of a deficit budget that was about $4 billion out of whack.

Rauner, who was elected in 2014 on a platform of ending Illinois’ downward spiral by enacting business- and taxpayer-friendly reforms and curtailing the power of public-sector unions, will not entertain the thought of increasing revenue without the Democrats backing some of his “Turnaround Agenda.”

Big-voiced soul singer Sharon Jones dies at 60

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Sharon Jones, the stout powerhouse who shepherded a soul revival despite not finding stardom until middle age, has died. She was 60.

Jones’ representative, Judy Miller Silverman, said Jones died Friday at a Cooperstown, New York, hospital after battling pancreatic cancer. Loved ones and members of her retro-soul band, the Dap-Kings, were among those surrounding her, Silverman said.

The story of Jones’ battle with cancer, first diagnosed in 2013, was told in Barbara Kopple’s documentary, “Miss Sharon Jones!” released earlier this year. Though she triumphantly returned to the stage in 2015 after the cancer went into remission, Jones late last year announced its return. Still, Jones mounted another comeback with the defiant single “I’m Still Here” and hit the road again this summer with the Dap-Kings even while undergoing chemotherapy.

“You got to be brave,” a debilitated Jones told the Associated Press in July, in between tour stops. “I want to use the time that I have. I don’t want to spend it

all laid up, wishing I had done that gig.”

Jones’ death was immediately noted on social media and throughout the music industry. The British producer Mark Ronson, who brought the Dap-Kings in to play backing band to Amy Winehouse on her breakthrough album, “Back to Black,” said, “Sharon Jones had one of the most magnificent, gut-wrenching voices of anyone in recent time.”

The youngest of six children, Sharon Lafaye Jones was born on May 4, 1956, in Augusta, Georgia. Her family lived in nearby North Augusta, South Carolina, across the Savannah River from the birthplace of James Brown. Jones, who would grow into a dynamic, show-stopping performer, grew up idolizing the Godfather of Soul and would later be frequently tagged as “the female James Brown.”

But for decades, such a fate was unimaginable. On “I’m Still Here,” she sings of being turned down by music executives for being “too short, too fat, too black and too old.”

After growing up in Brooklyn (her mother moved to escape an abusive husband), Jones regularly sang gospel at her church, performed for years in a

wedding band and sang back-up for various session bands. To make ends meet, she worked as a corrections officer at the Rikers Island jail complex and was a bank security guard.

But in one recording session, she caught the attention of Gabriel Roth and Philip Lehman. The two, blown away by Jones’ fiery voice, made her the lead singer of their newly formed Dap-Kings and launched the Bushwick, Brooklyn-based label, Daptone Records,

around her unlikely star power.

They debuted with 2002’s “Dap-Dippin’ With Sharon Jones and The DapKings,” released when Jones was 46.

Three more albums followed in the ensuing decade, and two compilations.

Standouts included a soulful rendition of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land” and the single “100 Days, 100 Nights,” in which she belts: “100 days, 100 nights to know a man’s heart/ And a little more, before, he knows his own.”

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Inmates at Illinois’ major women’s prison have been called “crazy” and “worthless” by corrections officers, are sometimes placed in an unpadded open-bar “crisis cage” and receive harsher discipline than men for similar offenses, a study released Friday said.

The federally funded review conducted for the Illinois Department of Corrections found that the mostly nonviolent women at Logan Correctional Center in Lincoln are often classified as higher security risks than necessary, which with disproportionate discipline needlessly extends their stays.

Segregation is overused as a punishment and the women get few chances to prepare for community re-entry, contributing to a recidivism rate of 50 percent – higher than the state’s prison population as a whole, according to the report.

The National Resource Center on Justice Involved Women’s assessment is harshly critical of the 2013 decision by former Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration to close a women’s prison in Dwight and move nearly 2,000 women into Logan, which was designed for 1,500. The “poorly planned, rushed and chaotic” move “set the tone for the culture that exists at Logan today,” it said.

Corrections director John Baldwin pledged additional staff training.

Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, elevated to cardinal

CHICAGO – The archbishop of Chicago, Blase Cupich, has been elevated to cardinal by the pope.

Cupich, who has led the Archdiocese of Chicago for two years, was one of 17 cardinals appointed Saturday In Vatican City by Pope Francis.

Cupich is the seventh cardinal to serve Chicago’s archdiocese and its 2.4 million Catholics.

Popes choose cardinals on the basis of whether they share his approach to the church’s mission in the world.

Francis used the ceremony Saturday to rail against what he said is a growing tendency in the world to exclude people

Security fences surround the Logan Correctional Center on Friday in Lincoln. A study released Friday, found segregation at Illinois’ major women’s prison is overused as a punishment and female inmates get few chances to prepare for community re-entry.

Illinois is one of about a dozen states to undergo the assessment, for which states had to compete. The report advocates taking a different approach to incarcerated women because of their different emotional responses to stress and their histories. Ninety-eight percent of imprisoned Illinois women have experienced physical abuse, 75 percent have been sexually abused, and 85 percent have encountered emotional abuse. At the time of the review, 42 per-

cent of inmates qualified as seriously mentally ill.

Although women make up only a fraction of the population at Illinois’ overburdened prisons, making life better at Logan is worth the effort, said Donna Collins, a Rhode Island state prison administrator who has helped implement gender-response changes in that state and was among the speakers scheduled to address a forum Friday in Chicago.

of different nationalities, races or beliefs.

“It’s almost, just the way it is. People think nothing of it,” Davis said.

Chicago congressman’s grandson killed over shoes

CHICAGO – A dispute over shoes led to the fatal shooting of the grandson of Illinois U.S. Rep. Danny Davis, Chicago police said Saturday.

At least two attackers went to the home of 15-year-old Javon Wilson in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago on Friday night and shot him in the head after an argument, police said.

“This stems from a dispute over shoes, basketball shoes,” police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

Guglielmi said Wilson knew his attackers and they may have been friends at some point. The shooting was not, as previously reported, a home invasion.

Davis, a Democratic member of the House for 20 years, told The Associated Press Saturday that his grandson was a victim of a world where gun violence has become commonplace.

“Women are the backbone of the family,” Collins said. “You’re hurting the community if you continue to re-incarcerate women.”

The study said there is inadequate training for staff members to deal with women’s emotional responses.

In interviews, staff members called inmates “crazy” and said they “talk too much,” resulting in more discipline and good-conduct credit days taken away.

But women are more relational and prefer to discuss things, as opposed to men, who tend to shut down, Collins said.

And women often don’t relate well to prison security staff because they were typically at odds with authorities on the street, said Colette Payne, who spent five stints in prison beginning at age 14 and was part of the assessment team.

“If I’ve been raped and you are yelling at me like my abuser, I see you as that person,” said the 49-year-old who now runs a support group for former women inmates. “I’m looking at you like you’re my abuser, that’s where the tension comes in.”

Payne was shocked to see the use of the so-called “crisis cage,” where women are placed in a stand-alone cell without privacy or padding; the department has pledged to replace it.

The report notes that inmates making “crisis calls,” in which they feel a threat to themselves or others, increased dramatically from early 2014 to late 2015, and monthly suicide attempts increased tenfold since the Logan consolidation.

Chicago police kill man who was shooting another man CHICAGO – Chicago police said

4 charged in beating as officers fatally shot a man when they saw others yell anti-Trump words him firing a gun at another person.

CHICAGO – Chicago police said four people have been charged in the videotaped beating of a man as bystanders yelled “Don’t vote Trump.”

Authorities said 26-year-old Julian Christian, 21-year-old Rajane Lewis, 20-year-old Dejuan Collins and a 17-year-old girl who wasn’t identified were each charged with vehicular hijacking in the Nov. 9 incident.

Christian is from Broadview, and Lewis and Collins are from Chicago.

Forty-nine-year-old David Wilcox said he was attacked after another car scraped his. He said he was beaten after parking and asking the other driver if he had insurance. Someone drove off with Wilcox’s car during the attack on Chicago’s West Side.

Wilcox acknowledged he supports President-elect Donald Trump, but said he told no one in the crowd that.

Police said officers repeatedly ordered the man to drop his weapon when they saw him Friday night in the West Englewood neighborhood. Police said in statement released Saturday that the man refused and kept shooting at another man.

That’s when officers fired their guns and killed the suspect. His name and age were not released.

The person the man was shooting is a 26-year-old man who is being treated at a hospital for gunshot wounds in his abdomen. He is in stable condition.

The officers involved in the shooting will be placed on routine administrative duty for 30 days while the incident is investigated by the Independent Police Review Authority.

Trump & Romney, once bitter rivals, smile and shake hands

By CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press

BEDMINSTER, N.J. – President-elect Donald Trump and Mitt Romney met Saturday at the billionaire’s golf club in New Jersey, putting a year of conflict aside for a smiling handshake – though they did not indicate what, if any, role the 2012 GOP hopeful might play in the new administration.

Trump flashed a thumbs-up and said the sit down “went great.” Romney said the two had a “far reaching conversation with regards to the various theaters in the world where there are interests of the United States of real significance.”

The amiable tone was a marked contrast to a rancorous year, in which Romney attacked Trump as a “con man” and a “phony.” But the two have started to mend fences since the Trump’s victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Romney was only one of a parade of officials pouring through Trump’s door as the president-elect tries to fill more members of his administration. He met Saturday with education activists Michelle Rhee and Betsy DeVos, as well as retired Gen. James Mattis, considered a contender to lead the Pentagon.

Emerging from the white-pillared clubhouse on the rolling green golf course late in the day, Trump said: “we’re seeing tremendous talent. People that, like I say, we will ‘Make America Great Again.’ These are really great people. These are really, really talented people.”

Asked about appointments, Trump said: “You’ll hear some things tomorrow.”

Trump’s Sunday schedule in Bedminster includes New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

On Friday, Trump picked Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions for attorney general and Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo to head the CIA, signaling a sharp rightward shift in U.S. security policy as he begins to form his Cabinet. Trump also named retired Lt. Gen Michael Flynn as his national security adviser.

Hosting the stream of visitors wasn’t Trump’s first public act of the day. First, there was Twitter.

He rushed to the defense of Mike Pence on Saturday after “Hamilton” actor Brandon Victor Dixon challenged the incoming vice president from the Broadway stage after the show Friday night. “Apologize!” Trump tweeted to the actor. “Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing. This should not happen!”

Dixon tweeted back: “Conversation is not harassment sir. And I appreciate @Mike_ Pence for stopping to listen.”

Trump also bragged on Twitter about agree-

ing to settle a trio of lawsuits against Trump University, claiming: “The ONLY bad thing about winning the presidency is that I did not have the time to go through a long but winning trial on Trump U. Too bad!”

Trump then turned to the meetings, perhaps about posts in his administration.

Trump’s announcement on Friday of Sessions, Pompeo and Flynn formed the first outlines of Trump’s Cabinet and national security teams. Given his lack of governing experience and vague policy proposals during the campaign, his selection of advisers is being scrutinized both in the U.S. and abroad.

Trump’s initial decisions suggest a more aggressive military involvement in counterterror strategy and a greater emphasis on Islam’s role in stoking extremism. Sessions, who is best known for his hard line immigration views, has questioned whether terrorist suspects should benefit from the rights available in U.S. courts. Pompeo has said Muslim leaders are “potentially complicit” in attacks if they do not denounce violence carried out in the name of Islam.

Pompeo’s nomination to lead the CIA also opens the prospect of the U.S. resuming torture of detainees. Trump has backed harsh interrogation techniques that President Barack Obama and Congress have banned, saying the U.S. “should go tougher than waterboarding,” which simulates drowning. In 2014, Pompeo criticized Obama for “ending our interrogation program” and said intelligence officials “are not torturers, they are patriots.”

Sessions and Pompeo would both require Senate confirmation; Flynn would not.

In a separate matter Friday, it was announced that Trump had agreed to a $25 million settlement to resolve three lawsuits over Trump University, his former school for real estate investors. The lawsuits alleged the school misled students and failed to deliver on its promises in programs that cost up to $35,000.

Nashville arrest records, photos of civil rights icon Lewis found

By ADAM BEAM

The Associated Press When civil rights icon John Lewis returned to Nashville this weekend, he was greeted just like he was more than 50 years ago – with a mug shot and an arrest record.

But this time, his record was bound for the city’s public library.

Officials in Tennessee’s capital city have unearthed never-before-published photos and records documenting Lewis’ arrests there decades ago, while he was leading an effort to desegregate the city’s lunch counters.

Nashville Mayor Megan Berry surprised Lewis with the records while he was on stage Saturday at the Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet High School to receive a literary award for “March,” a three-part graphic novel about his life in the civil rights movement.

“I was surprised, and I almost cried. I held back tears, because I was so young,” Lewis, now 76 and long a U.S. congressman from Georgia, told reporters afterward. “I would love to have copies of them and place them in

my Washington office, so when young people, especially children, come by, and even some of my colleagues, they will see what happened and be inspired to do something.”

As a child, Lewis was inspired by radio broadcasts of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. That eventually led him to co-found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and serve as its chairman. He was one of the organizers for the 1963 March on Washington.

The photos depict a scowling Lewis in his early 20s, wearing a tie in one photo and a long overcoat in another. The arrest records show he was booked at least three times from 1961 to 1963 on charges including disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and breach of the peace.

City officials plan to display copies of the records in the Civil Rights Room of the Nashville Public Library, where all police trainees are required to attend a class.

David Ewing, a local historian and lawyer, first requested the records years ago but was told they did not exist.

WASHINGTON – For Republicans, there will be no one left to blame.

As they prepare to take control of the White House and both chambers of Congress next year, Republicans are celebrating the opportunity to enact a new agenda for the country, including lowering taxes, securing the border and repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law.

But with that opportunity comes massive political risk: If President-elect Donald Trump and congressional Republicans don’t deliver, they will face a serious reckoning with voters. That could begin with the 2018 midterm elections, when every House member and one-third of the Senate will be up for re-election.

“The American public has clearly said that they want to go a different direction,” said Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado. “And if we are not effective in moving in that different direction, they will take the opportunity away from us, and they will return it to the Democrats.”

Said Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, speaking Friday at the Federalist Society: “It’s time to put up or shut up. There are no excuses.”

That sobering reality has been sinking in for GOP members of the House and Senate as they begin the early stages of planning an agenda for next year.

Republicans point out that although they will control a majority in the Senate with 52 votes, that’s well short of the 60-vote supermajority needed to advance most major initiatives, including Supreme Court nominees. So although Republicans would be able to use a legislative maneuver to send a health care repeal to Trump’s desk with just a simple majority, other major objectives, including immigration and bor-

der enforcement, would require some degree of cooperation from minority Democrats.

That could give Senate Democrats’ new leader, Chuck Schumer of New York, veto power over major chunks of Trump’s agenda. And it’s led to a call from some House Republicans for their Senate colleagues to try to push through a rules change to eliminate the 60-vote filibuster barrier.

“They’re either going to have to modify that rule, or they’re going to have to face the wrath of the voters,” said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., who is retiring at the end of this year.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is an institutionalist who has shown no enthusiasm for such a move. But Republicans fret that a shortage of votes in the Senate is not likely to be a winning political excuse to most voters who picked an outsider in Trump to bring wholesale change to Washington, and now want to see that happen.

The Republican role on health care seems particularly risky to some in the party. Democrats have born severe political consequences for pushing through the Affordable Care Act in 2010.

They lost control of the House in that year’s midterm elections, and Republicans have used the health care issue ever since to rally their base and attack Democrats.

But if Republicans repeal it, as they are determined to do, they will be the ones responsible for whatever comes next. And given the enormous complexity of the U.S. health care system, which accounts for fully one-sixth of the U.S. economy, the potential for complications looks immense. Even after six years, Republicans have failed to unite around a single alternative to Obamacare, or a solution to ensure that the 20 million Americans who gained health coverage under the law don’t suddenly lose it.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The International Space Station gained three new residents Saturday, including the oldest and most experienced woman to orbit the world.

A bit of Mars also arrived, courtesy of a Frenchman who brought along a small piece of a Mars meteorite.

Launched Thursday from Kazakhstan, the Russian Soyuz capsule docked at the 250-mile-high outpost as NASA got set to launch a weather satellite from Florida. The Soyuz delivered NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy. They joined three men already on board, one American and two Russians.

This is the third space station mission for Whitson, who at 56 is older than each of her crewmates.

She already holds the record for most time in space for a woman: nearly 400 days during her various missions. By the time she returns next spring, she should break the record for any American, man or woman.

A biochemist by training, Whitson will celebrate her 57th birthday at the orbiting lab in February. Until Thursday, no woman older than 55 had flown in space.

Pesquet, meanwhile, is making his first spaceflight and Novitskiy his second.

Before rocketing away, Pesquet told reporters he was taking up a piece of a Mars meteorite to illustrate the necessary union between human and robotic explorers. He intends to bring the stone back with him to Earth in six months. It then will launch aboard a Mars rover and return to its home planet.

“So it’s going to be the most experienced space traveler there is in the world,” Pesquet said Wednesday at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

“The idea is to show that space exploration is just the whole ... we’re not competing against robotic exploration, we’re all working together.

What we do on the [space station] is just one step on that road to exploration.”

Sunday marks the 18th anniversary of the launch of the first space station piece.

Train in northern India derails, killing at least 45

By BISWAJEET BANERJEE The Associated Press

LUCKNOW, India – Fourteen coaches of a passenger train rolled off the track early Sunday, killing at least 45 people and injuring more than 120 in northern India, officials said.

Volunteers and railway police pulled out the bodies from the mangled coaches and were working to res-

cue passengers who were trapped in other cars that fell on the side, said Daljeet Chaudhary, a director general of police, at the site of the accident.

The derailment occurred around 3:10 a.m. near Purwa, a village near the industrial city of Kanpur, when the 14 coaches jumped the track. Some coaches crumpled as they crashed into others, trapping hundreds of people inside.

Medical teams were providing

first aid near the site while the more seriously injured have been moved to hospitals in Kanpur, Chaudhary said.

It was not immediately clear was caused the coaches to derail.

The toll was likely to go up as two air-conditioned coaches were severely damaged and people were still trapped inside, said Rajesh Modak of the Railway Protection Force.

Kanpur is a major railway junction and hundreds of trains pass

through it every day. Several trains using the line have been diverted to other routes, Anil Saxena, spokesman for Indian Railways, said in New Delhi.

Train accidents are common in India, with most accidents occurring due to human error or aging equipment. Trains are the popular mode of transport for millions of Indians and around 23 million passengers use India’s vast railway network every day.

Iraqi troops face stiff resistance from IS in eastern Mosul

By QASSIM ABDUL–ZAHRA and BRIAN ROHAN The Associated Press

MOSUL, Iraq – Iraqi troops faced stiff resistance Saturday from Islamic State militants as they pushed deeper into eastern Mosul, backed by aerial support from the U.S.-led international coalition, a senior military commander said.

Troops moved into the Muharabeen and Ulama neighborhoods after fully liberating the adjacent Tahrir neighborhood on Friday, said Maj. Gen. Sami al-Aridi of the Iraqi special forces.

Al-Aridi said IS militants were fighting back with snipers, rocket-propelled grenades and mortar rounds.

Thick black columns of smoke were seen billowing from the two areas, while dozens of civilians were seen fleeing to government-controlled areas.

Shortly before noon, a suicide bomber emerged from a house in the Tahrir neighborhood and attacked security forces, wounding four troops. Later

• ILLINOIS BUDGET

Continued from page 19 Democratic leaders, on the other hand, call many aspects of Rauner’s agenda hurtful to middle- and working-class people, and consider the budget and reforms to be two unrelated issues.

The governor, for now, has set aside the weakening of collective bargaining and other aspects of the Turnaround Agenda that Democrats find particularly odious. But he has made clear that other concessions, such as a statewide property tax freeze, workers’ compensation reform, or putting constitutional amendments regarding term limits and redistricting reform on the ballot, must be part of any compromise on Republicans’ part regarding a tax increase.

The stalemate exists despite the fact that Democrats in both the House and Senate, for now, have supermajorities

in the afternoon, another suicide car bomber hit the troops in Aden neighborhood, killing a soldier and wounding three others.

Late on Friday, a group of IS militants attacked the village of Imam Gharbi south of Mosul, controlling most of it for hours before airstrikes from the U.S.-led international coalition were called in, an officer said. The clashes and multiple suicide bombings left three policemen dead, including an officer, and four others wounded, he said.

Nine IS fighters were killed, he added.

The officer spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to brief media.

On Saturday, after the fighting had quietened down, the Kuwaiti government in coordination with a local NGO distributed 1,000 boxes of humanitarian aid to residents of the Samah and al-Arbajiyeh district in eastern Mosul, which had been cleared of IS militants earlier.

Residents sat on the ground in a long queue waiting to receive the aid.

As they emerged from their districts,

some opened their jackets and raised their hands in the air to show troops they were not wearing an explosive belt.

Some waved white flags.

“We don’t have any medical support,” said Ibrahim Saad, a Mosul resident. “There is no food, no water. I am not talking about electricity, but these three fundamental things are not available.” he said.

To the west of Mosul, government-sanctioned Shiite militias took full control of the Tal Afar military airfield Friday night, said Jaafar al-Husseini, a spokesman for the influential Hezbollah Brigades. Al-Husseini said the clashes almost destroyed the airport and that it will be an important launching pad for the troops in their advance.

The extremist group captured Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, in the summer of 2014.

The offensive to retake the city, which was launched on Oct. 17, is the biggest military operation in Iraq since American troops left in 2011. If successful, the retaking of Mosul would be the

strongest blow dealt to IS’ self-styled caliphate stretching into Syria. The Shiite militias are leading an assault to drive IS from Tal Afar, which had a majority Shiite population before it fell to the militants in the summer of 2014, and to cut IS supply lines linking Mosul to Syria.

According to the United Nations, more than 56,000 civilians have been forced from their homes since the operation began out of nearly 1.5 million civilians living in and around Mosul.

In the heavily damaged town of Bashiqa, about 8 miles northeast of Mosul’s outskirts, Christians rang the bells of Saint George’s church for the first time to celebrate its liberation from IS, which was driven out earlier this month. Much of the town has been reduced to rubble from artillery strikes and air raids.

Parishioners, peshmerga fighters and Kurdish officials sang hymns and played band music as they walked in procession into the church, which was heavily vandalized by IS fighters.

that could override any gubernatorial veto. The House’s supermajority of the exact 71 seats needed exists only on paper – a handful of suburban Democrats vote against unbalanced budgets and tax increases.

What’s more, the GOP gained four seats in the House, robbing House Speaker Michael Madigan of a supermajority when the next General Assembly gets seated Jan. 11. While the Democrats lost a handful of Senate seats, Senate President John Cullerton still controls a supermajority.

Lawmakers are scheduled to meet only three more times until the end of the year, barring any special sessions.

But a provision of the Illinois Constitution makes the first 10 days in January the most likely time that lawmakers will be asked to vote on a compromise, provided one is even reached in the first place.

The number of votes needed to pass a budget increases from a simple ma-

jority – 60 in the House and 30 in the Senate – to a supermajority from the end of session May 31 to the end of the calendar year, or 67 in the House and 36 in the Senate. But the threshold reverts back to simple majority with the new year, which would make it easier for lawmakers to pass a compromise in a lame-duck session. Re-elected lawmakers know they are “safe,” and the votes of outgoing lawmakers who have nothing to lose – and possibly something to gain in exchange – can be easier courted.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because lawmakers exploited this to pass the ballyhooed 67-percent income tax increase. Lawmakers in the final hours of session in January 2011, just after the gubernatorial election that former Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn won, passed the four-year increase on a simple majority vote with the help of a dozen lawmakers leaving office – six of them, including two who campaigned

against a tax increase, subsequently ended up appointed to lucrative government jobs.

McConnaughay, like others before her, said that a compromise has to be reached in which the state can have a budget while enacting policies aimed at stopping people and jobs from fleeing to other states. The problem, she said, can’t be solved “on the backs of our existing tax base.”

“The sign of a good bargain is one in which everyone gets some of what they believe is important, and some things that make them unhappy,” McConnaughay said.

But lawmakers like McSweeney, who oppose taking any more money away from taxpayers, call the whole thing “political theater” and criticize the ongoing closed-door working group meetings.

“That’s my frustration. My top concern is a lame-duck tax increase,” McSweeney said.

BUSINESS

Dear Mr. Berko: I’m in search of a better yield with the money I’ll be getting from a $53,000 certificate of deposit that comes due next week. The following stocks were recommended by a stockbroker. I can be aggressive.

Please give me your opinion on them.

– PL, Wilmington, N.C. Dear PL: OK, let’s begin with Apollo Global Management (APO-$19.05). It’s a huge global alternative investment manager with nearly $170 billion under management, including hedge funds, mutual funds, real estate, financial services, business services, stocks in multiple industries – including metals, mining, entertainment, cable, satellite and wireless – buyouts, carve-outs, recapitalizations, distressed capital, commercial mortgage obligations and collateralized loan obligations. APO’s $1.48 dividend yields 7.9 percent. Value Line suggest a three- to five-year appreciation of 60 percent. Just buy 300 shares.

Frontier Communications (FTR$3.65) provides broadband, satellite video, wireless internet, data access, data security solutions and special bundled offerings for small businesses and home offices and advanced communications for medium to large businesses. FTR has 3.2 million residential customers, almost 300,000 business customers and 2.5 million broadband

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko subscribers, which produce over $10 billion in revenues but no profits.

FTR yields 13.4 percent, but I wouldn’t touch this stock with a barge pole.

Standard & Poor’s likes the stock, but I think those guys are nuts. Don’t touch it.

Computer Programs & Systems’ (CPSI-$23.85) $1.36 dividend yields 3.9 percent. CPSI designs health care information technology, primarily for smaller community hospitals. It automates the management of clinical and financial data and allows hospitals to outsource various data-related business processes. Wall Street doesn’t seem to care for CPSI, which recently reduced its dividend, and I agree.

Royal Dutch Shell (RDS-B) trades at $52.59, and its $3.76 dividend does not yield 9.1 percent as reported by Yahoo; rather, the yield is 7.1 percent. Relying on Yahoo for financial data is like asking a dung beetle to explain gravity. Still, this $235 billion-revenue oil giant (expected $335 billion revenues in 2017) is a wise buy. The dividend is safe, and Morgan Stanley’s recent research report strongly recommends

this issue for an impressive five-year recovery. Buy 200 shares.

CVR Partners (UAN-$4.50) is a wildhair speculation yielding 14.4 percent.

It produces, distributes and markets nitrogen fertilizer products in the U.S. Carl Icahn recently acquired a 59 percent stake and helped UAN successfully place a $625 million note due in 2023. UAN is also part of a cashrich family of companies that includes CVR Energy and CVR Refining.

Buying UAN is a bet on the improving strength of the nitrogen fertilizer market and the wily machinations of Icahn. Though the dividend may be cut, there is a strong speculative possibility of significant capital gains.

Buy 500 shares.

Plains All American Pipeline (PAA-$30.63) pays a $2.80 dividend that yields 7.4 percent. PAA is engaged in the transportation, storage, terminaling and marketing of crude oil, natural gas liquids and refined products.

Its having 20,000 miles of pipeline, 64 transportation tugs, 142 storage and transportation barges, 990 trucks, six marine facilities, 28 crude oil terminals, 10 natural gas processing plants, 1,100 trailers and 10,100 crude and natural gas rail cars, plus hundreds of billions of cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity, augurs well for a nicely improved 2017, as well as a divi-

dend increase. UBS and Oppenheimer agree. Buy 200 shares.

AmeriGas Partners (APU-$45) distributes $2.4 billion worth of propane and related equipment in the U.S. to about 2 million residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, wholesale and motor fuel customers in every state via 2,000 distribution centers. It also sells, installs and services propane appliances and air conditioning systems. The $3.76 dividend yields 8.32 percent and has been raised annually since 2005. Buy 200 shares.

The GEO Group (GEO-$30.32) is the largest provider of correctional, detention and community re-entry services, with 98 facilities, 77,000 beds and 18,000 employees worldwide. The $2.60 dividend yields 8.6 percent. GEO stands to lose some of its government contracts, which might cost the company nearly $300 million in revenues and force the board to reduce the dividend. The newly empty compounds might be used to house arriving immigrants. Buy 200 shares.

After making your purchases, put the remaining money in a 12-month CD. Good luck!

Madigan’s plan is a crime against the taxpayers FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Dan McCaleb When you’re not committed to fixing a problem, it’s only going to get worse.

That’s certainly the case with Illinois’ massively underfunded state pension systems.

According to the most recent report from the state’s bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, Illinois’ five public pension systems are now underfunded by $130 billion. That’s up from $111 billion last year, a staggering 17 percent increase.

To put that into some perspective, Illinois’ total operating budget was $36 billion in fiscal 2015, the last year the state had a full-year, approved budget. Of course, revenue and expenses fluctuate from one year to the next, but using that 2015 budget number as a base (because it’s what we have), it would take the state of Illinois more than 3½ years to fully fund its pension systems if it spent every penny in the general fund on pensions.

Of course, that’s not going to happen.

State government needs to operate.

Current state employees need to get paid.

State contractors need to be reimbursed for work already completed. ... Oh wait, they don’t necessarily. The state currently owes vendors such as human services providers, small businesses and others $10.6 billion, a figure that could reach more than $13 billion by July. But that’s another column for another day.

So with all of these overwhelming financial problems, what are our state’s elected officials doing about it?

Playing politics as usual in Springfield, of course. Translation: nothing.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has a plan to help stimulate Illinois’ economy. His Turnaround Agenda includes enacting comprehensive workers’ compensation, tort liability and collective bargaining reform, freezing property taxes and allowing local governments to opt out of paying the prevailing wage on construction and other projects.

But House Speaker Michael Madigan wants nothing to do with it. His plan? Maintain the status quo in terms of policy, and raise everyone’s taxes to fill the shortfalls.

Madigan’s plan is not really a plan at all.

It’s a crime against taxpayers.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

The election’s over, time to take action on Illinois’ manufacturing meltdown Al Popovich is a maker.

He’s been in the manufacturing business since he was an 18-yearold trying to earn a living Chicago.

He raised four kids with his work.

But he wasn’t his own boss until four years ago.

Popovich has been running a small “job shop” near his home in Will County since 2012. That means he works for manufacturers, making prototypes, custom parts and parts that are hard to find. He has two full-time employees earning between $20 and $30 an hour.

But it hasn’t been easy. Popovich isn’t hiring, and he’s had to let go of part-time help because of high costs. Chief among them is workers’ compensation insurance – a cost burden lawmakers on both sides of the aisle can agree is too high. However, action in the General Assembly has been lacking.

“I almost couldn’t start this business because of insurance costs,” Popovich said. “You look at your bank account one day and say ‘OK I’m doing pretty good.’

The next day you’re wondering if you’re going to be able to eat.”

Illinoisans have been told to wait until after the election to

expect reforms on this front. Nov. 8 has come and gone – it’s time to get moving.

Workers’ compensation costs in Illinois are the highest in the Midwest, according to the state of Oregon’s 2016 study of systems across the country. It’s common for Illinois manufacturing businesses to see workers’ compensation alone eat up more than 10 percent of payroll. That can be double or triple the rate of surrounding states.

Unsurprisingly, the manufacturers that bear the brunt of that burden are bleeding.

More than 6,000 Illinois manufacturing jobs disappeared in 2015, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. And all signs point to things getting worse.

The most recent data from September show Illinois has lost 8,500 manufacturing jobs so far this year. In October, four Illinois manufacturers announced plans to shut down and move operations to another state.

Of course, the global economy has transformed the American manufacturing landscape. And the mix of Illinois industry is unique.

But that doesn’t make Illinois manufacturers escaping to other states any less concerning.

“We’re lucky our little shop has found a niche,” Popovich said. “To be honest, if you’re making standard parts you can’t compete with guys in Wisconsin and Indiana, let alone China.”

Efforts to bring workers’ compensation costs in line with surrounding states – all of which have seen stronger manufacturing comebacks in the wake of the Great Recession than Illinois – have been stymied in the General Assembly.

Trial lawyers like the system the way it is, and have spent millions over the years to ensure it doesn’t change much.

Politicians have kowtowed to special interests. That hasn’t just hurt businesses – it has also crushed job prospects. And it’s worked to harm workers in other, more sinister ways.

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus year’s election we had to choose between the two worst candidates ever, I am thankful to live in a country resilient enough to survive such an election.

While I’m not thankful for the incessant, uber-whiny post-election protests, I am thankful to live in a country where citizens have the right to protest without fear of being sent to the gulag.

While I’m not thankful to live in a state whose residents pay the highest average state and local taxes in the country, I am thankful I don’t live in Chicago, where the taxes are even higher. And where my fourcan-a-day diet soda addiction would cost me an extra $170.88 once Cook

County’s new penny-per-ounce beverage tax is enacted next year.

While I’m not thankful that Illinois will likely increase the state income tax next year, I am thankful that the increase will undoubtedly fix our $7.8 billion budget deficit once and for all. You know, like it did back in 2011, when they increased it by 66 percent.

I’m also thankful I don’t live in Connecticut, Massachusetts or New Jersey, which supposedly are in even worse financial shape than we are.

While I’m not thankful that the Rialto Square Theatre is on the verge of going broke, I am thankful that they were finally able to restore its marquee – the 90-year-old theater’s signature component – back to its original condition. Without any added donor signatures.

Now if they can just find a way to keep it lit …

While I’m not thankful that my

individual health insurance plan is increasing from $682 per month to somewhere north of $900, I am thankful that the insurance industry can no longer refuse me coverage for having cancer as a pre-existing condition.

Even though I can no longer afford to pay for that coverage.

While I’m not thankful for the Chicago Bears atrocious 2-7 record this year, I am thankful for all the wonderful 2017 draft opportunities that will come from being the third worst team in the NFL. And while I’m not thankful that we’re still stuck Jay Cutler, I am thankful we’re not stuck with Colin Kaepernick.

Madigan asking for support for own reelection On election night, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan started making his usual post-election calls to his Democratic members asking for their support for his own reelection as Speaker. But at least a couple said they’d like to sit down with him before providing a firm answer either way.

Reps. Will Guzzardi and Kelly Cassidy, both liberal Chicago Democrats, confirmed they want Madigan to come up with a plan that, as Guzzardi said, involves more than “just saying ‘No’ ” to Gov. Bruce Rauner.

“I’d like to know what his vision of the next two years is,” Rep. Cassidy said. “Doing the same thing over and over again is the definition of insanity, so I want to know what the vision is.”

Rep. Cassidy refused to comment further, saying she preferred to share her thoughts with Madigan himself. But Guzzardi wasn’t quite as reticent.

“Right now,” Rep. Guzzardi said, “Rauner is the only one with a plan to fix this.” Rauner, of course, endlessly promotes his “Turnaround Agenda” reforms and blames Democrats for blocking him at every turn. He’s the one positioned as a change agent, Guzzardi said, and that, in turn, makes the Democrats look like obstructionists.

“We don’t have an agenda,” Guzzardi complained. The Democratic Party needs to show voters that “we

VIEWS Rich Miller want to change things and let people know what the party is doing for the people of this state.”

Asked about the state party’s aversion to social media and other 21st Century innovations, Guzzardi said it wouldn’t matter much now anyway.

“We could hire a social media coordinator, but what would they say?”

“It starts with having a message,” Guzzardi insisted, saying he has been talking with several other members about building “a platform that we can go fight on.”

Others in Madigan’s caucus are undoubtedly nervous about January’s vote for House Speaker. Everyone who represents a district that Gov. Rauner won two years ago will be watched closely – and there are a bunch of them, although that number was reduced by five via the election.

There is no doubt that something has changed in the House Democratic caucus.

No actual “revolt” is brewing against the House Speaker. It’s just that members are worried about something that haunts all politicians:

Self preservation. A vote for Madigan for Speaker next January is, for many, absolutely guaranteed to cause huge problems for them back home unless this almost two-year impasse is resolved.

Even the least active legislators go to enough events to know what’s on their constituents’ minds. And thanks to unprecedented multi-million-dollar advertising buys on Chicago, St. Louis and other broadcast television markets, a large swath of the public has been overexposed to the pettiness and ugliness of legislative politics for the first time. And about half of those ads were focused mainly on one guy: Speaker Madigan.

The last time anyone voted “Present” on a roll call for House Speaker was 30 years ago this coming January, when Rep. Dick Mautino decided to stick his neck out. He was dealt with harshly and Madigan put down a potential revolt a year later when he defeated one of the attempted coup leaders in a primary and defeated yet another plotter in 1992. It’s been mostly smooth sailing ever since.

And it’s not like public vilification is anything new to Madigan. I remember the 1988 campaign in the Kankakee area when appointed Rep. Phil Novak (D-Bradley) ran against Iroquois County Clerk John Kuntz. Novak was

hammered on local radio and in the mail for his alleged ties to Madigan.

But Novak shrugged it off and went on to win. Madigan just wasn’t as wellknown back then and Illinois wasn’t in crisis.

But this year is different. The Republicans turned on the biggest anti-Madigan fire hose they could buy to shift as much blame as possible for this horrific two-year stalemate onto the House Speaker. Madigan’s job approval numbers were already very low. Actually, they’ve always been low.

But at a time of crisis, people look for a scapegoat and Madigan was handed to the populace by Rauner on an expensive platinum platter.

Nobody will say they are prepared to do it themselves, but plenty of House Democrats are speculating that some of their colleagues could vote “Present” when Madigan comes up for reelection in January. That would be the rarest of rare events, and Team Rauner would most definitely do all it could to exploit it to the hilt. After Madigan lost a net of four seats on November 8th, any wavering of support by Madigan’s membership would be “proof” that the man was losing his iron grip.

Now that the afterglow of the Cubs’ World Series win is starting to fade, and with Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought this would be a good time to reflect on other things for which to be thankful.

Let’s start globally and work our way down, shall we?

While I’m not thankful that 2016 will probably be the warmest year on record and that the arctic polar cap has shrunk to a record low while sea levels have risen to a record high, I am thankful for this month’s delightful Indian Summer.

I’m also thankful I don’t live on the coast.

PLAINFIELD NORTH 18, FENWICK 17 (OT)

Plainfield North somehow punches state ticket

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media Correspondent RIVER GROVE – 36 Bounce.

Miracle 2.

Trailing Fenwick, 17-16, in overtime in the Class 7A semifinal Saturday at Triton College, Plainfield North coach Tim Kane and his Tigers rolled the dice for a game-winning, two-point conversion.

Fenwick (11-2) scored in its first possession of overtime, to grab a 17-10 lead.

Tiger junior running back Dillon McCarthy, crashed in from 3 yards out, to pull the Tigers within 17-16. After conversing

with his seniors, Kane and his Tigers went for the game-winning conversion.

“I talked with my seniors and they wanted to go for two and the win,” Kane said. “The play, 36-bounce, was just a play in our offense. Dillon made it work to perfection.”

Fenwick called a timeout. From the 3-yard line, Tiger quarterback Brady Miller handed off to McCarthy, who bounced to his right and outraced the Friar defense to the end zone for an absolutely heart-thumping 18-17 Plainfield North victory.

The Tigers thus advance to the Class

7A state championship game at 4 p.m. next Saturday at the University of Illinois in Champaign. East St. Louis (12-0), a 20-0 winner over Benet, will be the Tigers’ opponent.

“The play was 36-bounce,” McCarthy said. “I was supposed to bounce to my right and run to the end zone. I was not going to be stopped. It was an amazing feeling, dancing into the end zone, to help get us this huge win and play for a state championship next weekend.”

With 1:34 left and Fenwick (11-2) up 10-7, Friars defensive back Lorenzo Blakeney’s interception of pass from Miller

(10 for 23,118 yards, two interceptions) at the Friars’ 4-yard line, appeared to end the Tigers’ amazing run. What happened in the next minute and a half was miraculous for the Tigers.

Fenwick picked up a first down and then a Connor Lilig (23 carries, 57 yards, touchdown) 1 yard carry and quarterback Jake Keller (18 of 28 attempts, 167 yards, touchdown) had two kneel-downs, forcing the final Tiger timeout with 3 seconds left. Fourth down and 16 yards to go.

Words can’t do North’s wild finish justice RIVER GROVE – It’s not a good thing in the business to admit you are at a loss for words. But after all the thousands of stories I have written though the years, that time has arrived.

How in the world can you describe Plainfield North’s 18-17 victory over Fenwick in Saturday’s Class 7A football playoff semifinal at Triton College?

I thought back to legendary baseball broadcaster Jack Buck’s words: “I can’t believe what I just saw.”

I remember another baseball legend, Jack Brickhouse, saying, “Next time you come by, bring my stomach,” when there was a particularly crazy finish.

My stomach was left on the sideline Saturday, but I’ll have to recover it by next Saturday because North is scheduled to play for the 7A state championship against East St. Louis at 4 p.m. at University of Illinois in Champaign.

Let’s say this: Had the North-Fenwick battle been the state championship game, with the entire state watching, it would be dissected for the next hundred years or so as one of the wildest finishes ever.

The Tigers were trailing, 10-7, when Brady Miller threw an apparent 22yard touchdown pass down the right sideline to Dillon McCarthy. However, McCarthy stepped out of bounds on the

On defense, Tigers linebacker JJ Frey had couple of sacks and a fumble recovery. Defensive end Tim Donahue had a huge third-down pass breakup to force Fenwick to punt with less than 3 minutes remaining. Tigers defensive back Rob Ostapkowicz had a key interception in the first quarter.

“An amazing feeling to pull this one out, “ Frey said. “We all played our hearts out tonight. Connor and Dillon were amazing. It feels great to be playing for state next week. East St. Louis is a great team but I truly believe we can take home a state championship.”

So what started as the Tigers’ goal – to win their first playoff game in school history – has turned into a shot at the first state championship in Plainfield history.

After a scoreless first quarter, Fenwick struck first on a 9-yard strike from Keller to tight end Jack Henige (three

Dillon is a great playmaker.”

So on a day when the Tigers probably were outplayed, a day where they had to feel deep down that it was over late in the fourth quarter, they survived to punch their ticket to Champaign.

“I was out of breath, I was happy and I was tearing up,” explained North senior Ari Ekowa, who went most of the way in the line on both sides of the ball. “This kind of thing is what we dream of as kids.

“Look at our guys right now. They are all so wide-eyed. I reminded the guys on offense that when we were in the weight room in the offseason, this was the moment we were working for when we gave it up one more time.”

“After we thought we scored [on the pass to McCarthy] and had that taken away, and after we weren’t getting much help from the officiating all day, our guys found a way,” Kane said.

“That just shows the type of character they have. They never give up.”

Maybe that’s the bottom line on this unbelievable football game. Without a whole lot of character, a mistake on Fenwick’s part and a gift from the football gods, North’s best season would have ended.

Instead, the dream of becoming the first Plainfield team to play for a state championship is reality.

PEORIA 43, MORRIS 35

MORRIS – Trying to slow down the first football team in state history to score 700 points in its first 12 games proved to be a mixed bag for Morris in Saturday’s Class 5A semifinals.

Peoria grabbed a 21-7 advantage just 15:42 into the contest, but the Redskins scored the next three touchdowns while holding the explosive Lions scoreless for over 18 minutes as they moved in front, 28-21, late in the third quarter.

But the Lions responded with two touchdowns in the final 2:16 of the third quarter to move back in front for good and added another score in the fourth to claim a 43-35 win.

As a result, Peoria (12-1) advances to next Saturday’s 10 a.m. title game at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium in Champaign against Vernon Hills (10-3), which beat Sycamore, 21-16, in the other semifinal. The Lions advanced to the finals for the second time, with their other visit in 1988.

Morris (10-3) was hoping to reach the state finals for the first time since 2012 but instead fell to 10-3 in semifinal games after suffering its first defeat in that round since 1997.

Coach Alan Thorson’s squad was also looking to improve to 9-0 in home contests this year, but Peoria’s attack of Geno Hess (32 for 276 rushing, five touchdowns), Jaleen James (18 for 132 rushing) and Coran Taylor (25 for 118 rushing) collected 526 yards on 75 carries.

“Their offense is outstanding,” Thorson said. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t get our offense going early and those early three-and-outs really hurt us because it gave them the ball back and they were able to score again.

I knew that we would be in it until the end, but there were just some turnovers and mistakes that cost us, but it was still a great season for these boys.

“This senior class has just been outstanding and these kids are as good of leaders as we’ve had in this program.

We were in the state finals in 2012 and the quarterfinals in 2014, but missing the playoffs last year was tough. So we put a lot onto this senior class to kind of bring pride back to the program.

And they did that, and I couldn’t be prouder of this group.”

The Lions had averaged a staggering 82 points in their last two playoff games and looked like they might have another big afternoon after scoring touchdowns on three of their first four series. But Lions coach Tim Thornton wasn’t surprised that Morris responded to make a game of it.

Peoria went up 7-0 just 1:41 into the game when Hess went 49 yards up the middle. He only needed to get 1 yard for a score with 1:02 left in the opening quarter to make it 14-0.

Morris struck on its third series when Michael Gerischer (5 for 55 rushing) went 37 yards down the left side to make it 14-7 with 10:25 left in the second quarter. After Peoria answered with a 4-yard scoring run by Hess 2:07 later, the hosts closed the gap to 21-14 with 1:39 remaining in the half when Kameron Dransfeldt scored on a 6-yard run.

“They had a very good offense with the running backs and quarterback, and their big plays were the difference,” Gerischer said. “Everyone was counting us out in this game, but we knew that our defense could slow down their offense, and we did for a while.

Morris’ Sobol personifies ‘Redskin Pride’ in loss VIEWS Rob Oesterle MORRIS – There were plenty of emotions flying around Morris’ football stadium before, during and after the Redskins’ 43-35 loss to Peoria in the Class 5A semifinals Saturday..

Morris fans and players alike went from anticipation before the game to frustration in the early portion, when Peoria raced out to a 21-7 lead, to elation in the middle, when Morris moved ahead 28-21 to the stunning finality of it all when the clock read 0:00 and the scoreboard showed the heartbreaking final tally.

In the middle of it all was Morris running back/linebacker Keagan Sobol, who was the unquestioned heart and soul of the Redskins throughout the season. No one epitomized the phrase “Redskin Pride” more than he did, and that includes the effort he put forth on the field Saturday.

Peoria came into the game having scored 700 points in 12 games, a ridiculous 58.3 per game average. Sobol and his defensive teammates limited, for lack of a better word, the Lions to 21 in the first half. Sobol, who was named to the Illinois High School Football Coaches’ Association Class 5A AllState team with teammate Michael Feeney, was in on countless tackles.

Meanwhile, the Morris offense struggled to find its footing until midway through the second quarter, when they switched from the pistol formation to the full-on power T. First, Sobol threw a key block in leading Michael

Morris, which finished with 342 rushing yards on 40 carries, tied things up at 21-21 when Keagan Sobol (16 for 251 rushing) went 60 yards down the right side on the second play of the second half. On Morris’ next series, Sobol went 27 yards up the middle to make it 2821 with 4:54 remaining in the third quarter.

But Peoria answered right back with a 35-yard scoring run down the right side from Hess with 2:16 left in the quarter, and then after getting the ball on downs at the Morris 44, Taylor covered the distance on a keeper and then he threw a two-point conversion pass to close out the third quarter with

Gerischer through a hole, springing Gerischer for a 37-yard touchdown run that put Morris on the board and picked up the spirits on the sideline.

Late in the second quarter, Peoria led 21-7 and punted into the end zone.

The Redskins then were flagged for a false start, moving the ball back to their own 15 with 2:10 to play in the first half. The prevailing thought was that Morris could at least run the clock out and go into halftime with the knowledge that they got the ball to start the second half.

But Sobol was having none of that.

He broke through a couple of tackles at the line of scrimmage and outran the Peoria defense most of the rest of

the Lions holding a 36-28 lead.

Hess scored his fifth touchdown on a 10-yard run with 5:44 left before Morris made things interesting with a 26-yard strike from Ricky Del Favero to Dransfeldt with 49 seconds left.

“I thought we had them after we came back after halftime,” said Michael Feeney, who shared captain duties along with fellow seniors Gerischer and Sobol. “We were just dominating them in the third quarter, but they’re a really fast team that had some really good athletes.

“We always play four quarters and just play hard-nosed Redskins football. The coaches told us to let last year motivate us to do a lot better this year. I loved playing with this team since they’re an awesome group of kids. It was really fun playing with them, and I love them all.”

the way down the field before finally being brought down at the 6 for a 79yard gain. Kameron Dransfeldt scored on the next play and the Redskins were suddenly within 21-14 with 1:39 to go until halftime. It stayed that way, and Morris received the second-half kickoff.

On the Redskins’ second play from scrimmage, Sobol broke through the line again and this time, no one caught him. Sixty yards later, he was in the end zone and the game was tied.

Charged with new life, the Morris defense rose up and stopped Peoria on fourth-and-2 from the Redskins’ 33 and took over possession. On the ensuing drive, Sobol had gains of 18 and

8 yards before finally breaking free again for a 27-yard touchdown that gave Morris its only lead, 28-21, with 4:54 to play in the third quarter.

“Our line [Nolan Feeney, Brennan Goff, Dylan Swartz, Nathan Korte, Jared Akin and Noah McCorkhill] was opening up holes for me to run through,” Sobol said. “It’s been an honor running behind those guys this year.”

Unfortunately, that was the high-water mark for the emotions on the Morris side, as Peoria’s Geno Hess scored his fourth TD of the game just a couple of minutes later to tie it and the Lions added two more, one on the final play of the third quarter and one in the fourth, to offset a Morris TD in the final minute.

Afterward, there were tears.

Players hugged each other, then found their parents and coaches and hugged them. For seniors such as Sobol, it was the last time to wear the maroon and gold. The fact that he had the game of his life – 254 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries – was little consolation.

“We wanted to end our season on a different field,” he said. “We wanted to be in Champaign. I will never forget these guys. This is more of a team and family than any group of guys I have ever played with.

“We didn’t make the playoffs this year, but we worked so hard since last season ended and wanted to bring that Redskin pride back to the program and win state.”

Chin up, Keagan. The team may not have won a state title, but, thanks to you and your teammates, Redskin Pride is alive and well.

dgoss@shawmedia.com When discussing the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic, which begins Monday at University of St. Francis and will help tip off the boys basketball season in the Joliet area, Minooka coach Scott Tanaka noted the quality of the field.

“We start with Lockport,” he said.

“Right off the bat, we get a very tough opponent.”

The two teams will meet in Monday’s 6:45 p.m. game, the second of three at the Sullivan Center. There

also is an opening-night game at Joliet Junior College, where Romeoville will tangle with Joliet Central at 7 p.m.

“Obviously, Lincoln-Way West had a great season last year [finishing second in the Class 3A state tournament], and Minooka will be tough,” said Lockport second-year coach Brett Hespell, whose team is in a pool with those two and Plainfield Central. The Porters will face Lincoln-Way West on Friday night and then on Saturday, the corresponding finishers in the two pools will square off in seventh-, fifth-, third- and first-place games.

Lockport’s hopes to make a good

showing in the tournament depend in large part on senior point guard Matt Smietanski, junior post player John Meyer and vastly improved inside presence Christian Schultz. Otherwise, Hespell said, the season-opening event will provide an opportunity to see who fits in where, who plays well with whom.

“Matt Smietanski has gotten a lot of interest from Division III schools,” Hespell said. “He’s a good place to start when you’re talking about our team.

“Then there’s John Meyer, the state shot put champion. He is athletic

and so big and strong that he is a commanding presence inside. He did some good things last year.

“Christian Schultz is 6-6. He’s in the power forward spot and has come such a long way in the last year and a half. I look for him to complete our front court.”

Lockport, which finished 11-16 last season, has a senior transfer from Hinsdale South, 6-4 Chase Travis, who can play either forward position. Hespell termed him “one of our capable newcomers.”

40 GIRLS BASKETBALL: JOLIET WEST 44, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 36

Tigers use 13-0 run to rally past Knights

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – After leading throughout the first half of Friday’s game in the Lincoln-Way Central/ West Thanksgiving Tournament, Joliet West’s girls basketball team was outscored 18-8 in the third quarter by Lincoln-Way Central to fall behind by five points.

But while the Knights seemed to have the momentum on their side, the Tigers responded with a decisive 13-0 run to kick off the final quarter, which allowed them to regain the advantage as they went on to capture a 44-36 victory in their season opener.

Sarah Gersch (16 points) hit a pair of 3-pointers and Shenea Best scored all five of her points during the critical burst that kicked off the final quarter. The Knights (1-1) trailed 40-32 before they finally connected again with 1:30 left on a rebound basket from Abi Baumgartner (four points, six rebounds).

“Our girls really played a nice game,” Tigers coach John Placher sad.

“I don’t think we ever thought that we were out of it. Every time that we went to something different defensively, we’d get a turnover, and that’s what you like to see from a team. I’m really pleased with how we did in our first game. The girls never gave up, and we made our shots in the fourth quarter.

“What I love about this team is that the girls share the ball. There’s not one unselfish player on the team, and they hit the open person. I think that the biggest key for us is to stay healthy. If we stay healthy and everyone does what they’re supposed to in school, I think that we’ll be a really good basketball team at the end of the year.”

Central used a 12-3 spurt to close out the third quarter to grab a 32-27 lead with eight minutes remaining. Colleen Barrett (eight points) hit two layups, while Courteney Barnes (14 points, five rebounds) converted an old-fashioned three-point play and Hayley Papoccia (nine points) made a 3-pointer to fuel the run for the Knights.

But the Tigers answered with a layup by Raven Reed (six points, nine rebounds) before Gersch tossed in a 3 with 4:44 left to tie the score. A layup by Best a minute later put West ahead for good, and Gersch and Best both tossed in treys to make it 40-32 with 1:59 to go.

“We played very good on defense, and when we were on offense, we shared the ball and played as a team,” Gersch said.

“We only have two or three new people, so I feel like we’re going to have a really good season. I like how we never give up

The Knights defeated Joliet Central, 53-26, on Tuesday in Dave Campanile’s debut as a varsity head coach. He served as an assistant for 12 years, including the last 10 of those as the sophomore coach at Lincoln-Way East.

“We came out a little flat, while Joliet West came out strong,” Campanile said. “They hit some shots and we were a little behind the eight ball after losing Lauren Kraft to an injury in the first quarter. The way that we came out in the second half is what you love to see from your team. They responded to the halftime adjustments and were able to really turn the tables.

“We finally had a few shots that started to fall and were executing better against their zone, so it looked like we Lincoln-Way Central’s Courteney Barnes (34) attempts to block a layup from Joliet West’s could start to build from there.

42 BOYS BASKETBALL

Lemont big man one to watch in WJOL tourney

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com When Lemont boys basketball is mentioned, the first name that comes to mind is senior guard P.J. Pipes.

One of the Joliet area’s top talents, Pipes will be joining Joliet West’s Trevian Bell as part of the 2017 recruiting class at NCAA Division I Wisconsin-Green Bay. However, whether local fans will have the opportunity to see Pipes spin his magic beginning Monday in the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic at University of St. Francis is uncertain.

“I’m not sure if we will have him for the tournament,” Lemont coach Rick Runaas said during a conversation last week. “Some issues have popped up.”

Runaas declined comment on what the issues are.

“I’m sure the fans would enjoy seeing P.J.; I hope they enjoy our other players, too,” Runaas said.

Lemont, which is in its second year in the event, will open at 8:30 p.m. Monday against Providence. Runaas said to keep an eye on the Indians’ big man, 6-foot-8 junior Paul O’Leary.

“He’s the type of player you don’t see much anymore,” Runaas said. “He’s a true, back-to-the-basket, low-post player who can step out and shoot it from 15 feet. He’s physically aggressive and unapologetic.

“He’s going to turn a lot of heads.”

Runaas said O’Leary was on the varsity last year and averaged about three or four points and three rebounds.

“Physically and skill-wise, he wasn’t there yet,” Runaas said. “Now he’s ready for the varsity game.”

• LOCKPORT

Continued from page 39 The Porters’ football team, which qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 2011, will be well represented on the court.

Guard Patrick Cooper, a talented wide receiver, is in the process of working off the rust. “He’s probably our emotional leader,” Hespell said.

“He sort of helps drive the ship.”

Lockport’s two quarterbacks, senior Ben Davis and sophomore Jacob Karli, are in the mix at guard, although Davis, who is getting over an illness that cut his football season short, still is a week or two away from being available. Davis did not play basketball last year in order to concentrate on football and baseball.

“Jacob Karli had a great season on the sophomore team last year,” Hes-

With Jerry Radomski, a 6-4 forward, also in the mix, Runnas said the Indians will be “inside-oriented, at least until P.J. is fully into it. Radomski is old-school. He’ll get on the floor.

“We really have to be that way. We have a different type athlete than some other schools. For the last five years, we’ve been competitive with those types of kids.

It’s been enjoyable coaching them.”

Runaas is entering his eighth season at Lemont, which finished 17-10 last season.

“We’ll be playing a lot of young kids,” Runaas said. “We’ll be competing against ourselves. I told the kids, we go out in the pursuit of excellence every night, knowing we probably won’t achieve it, but that’s the goal. We’ll play the best that we can.”

Runaas said he enjoys starting the season in the WJOL tournament.

“We loved it last year,” he said.

“Scott [Slocum, the tournament director] has done a great job. I like the field.

There’s a local flavor, but it’s spread out a lot. Nobody in the field is on our regular-season schedule. That makes for some attractive matchups for us.”

Lemont’s other pool-play opponents are Romeoville and Joliet Central.

“A lot of easy wins,” Runaas laughed.

When the tournament concludes Saturday, corresponding finishers from the two pools will be matched against each other in games for seventh, fifth, third and first place.

With the Romeoville Christmas Tournament, for the last several years the successor to the long-running Lemont Christmas Classic, the Indians will be headed to DeKalb for their Christmas tourney. pell added. “Between Davis and him, it’s good that we are getting those athletes with us who have competed. We shouldn’t be hurting for leadership.”

Another guard who figures to see significant time is junior Nolan Barthel, a good 3-point shooter.

“I think we’ll play OK in the tournament,” Hespell said. “When Larry [Thompson, now the Joliet Central coach] was here at Lockport, his teams showed well in it. The local flair is good. We’ll find out in a hurry where we are as we head into the conference games.

“We know where our focus is with Smietanski, Meyer and Schultz, now we are trying to build the complementary pieces. We’ll be big, strong and competitive.”

As for his part, being a second-year head coach, Hespell said, “The second time around will be somewhat easier.”

Evans said the Hokies, who had lost all three games this season when trailing at halftime, didn’t panic when they fell behind.

“We didn’t flinch. When it was 17 to zero, our defense didn’t flinch.

They knew they were going to get it clicking,” he said.

Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said the Hokies played better after halftime.

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

Minnesota defense fuels 29-12 victory over Northwestern The ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota’s defense delivered an overpowering performance. Mitch Leidner provided the finishing touch.

Leidner threw his first touchdown pass in seven weeks and Blake Cashman and Steven Richardson each had two of Minnesota’s season-high seven sacks , leading the Gophers to a 29-12 victory over Northwestern on Saturday.

Playing at home for the final time, Leidner found Drew Wolitarsky from 9 yards out with 6:46 left to give the Gophers (8-3, 5-3) a 22-6 lead and then ran in a 12-yard score with 2:31 remaining. The fifth-year senior, who was intercepted once, ended a five-game streak without a touchdown pass.

“It’s been long overdue,” Wolitarsky said, smiling.

No. 6 Wisconsin 49, Purdue 20: At West Lafayette, Indiana, T.J. Watt returned

an interception 17 yards for a touchdown, and Wisconsin scored 35 points in the final 8½ minutes of the first half of a victory against Purdue.

Alec Ingold and Bradrick Shaw each scored twice during the flurry, helping the Badgers (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) to their fifth straight win overall and their 11th in a row in the series.

They can clinch the West Division title and earn a spot in the Dec. 3 conference championship game with a victory next weekend.

Purdue (3-8, 1-7) closed out its home schedule with a sixth straight loss, five under interim coach Gerad Parker.

No. 2 Ohio St. 17, Michigan St. 16: At East Lansing, Michigan, Mike Weber ran for 111 yards and a touchdown, and Ohio State held off Michigan State after the upset-minded Spartans missed a 2-point conversion with 4:41 remaining.

Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) can move on to next weekend’s

showdown with rival Michigan, but only after withstanding a spirited challenge from a Michigan State team that derailed the Buckeyes’ national title bids in two of the previous three seasons. The Spartans (3-8, 1-7) were down, 17-10, when LJ Scott scored on a 1-yard run with 4:41 to play. Michigan State went for the lead, but Tyler O’Connor’s pass on the 2-point conversion attempt was intercepted in the end zone.

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said he’d planned all week for the Spartans to go for two points if a situation like that came up.

No. 4 Michigan 20, Indiana 10: At Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Wolverines found out just how valuable quarterback Wilton Speight is – the hard way.

De’Veon Smith ran for two touchdowns in a 3:33 span late in the third quarter, finishing with a career-high 158 yards rushing, to help Michigan shake off Indiana (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten).

John O’Korn made his first start for Michigan (10-1, 7-1, No. 3 CFP), replacing its injured starting quarterback, and struggled to lead an offense that was averaging 45 points and 232 yards passing.

O’Korn was 7 of 16 yards for only 59 yards.

No. 19 Nebraska 28, Maryland 7: At Lincoln, Nebraska, Terrell Newby ran for a career-high three touchdowns, Ryker Fyfe passed for 220 yards and a score filling in for injured starter Tommy Armstrong Jr., and Nebraska defeated struggling Maryland.

The Cornhuskers (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten) stayed alive in the West Division. They must win Friday at Iowa, and Wisconsin must lose Saturday to Minnesota for Nebraska to go to the conference championship game.

Maryland (5-6, 2-6) lost for the sixth time in seven games and has been outscored, 149-13, the past three weeks.

Evans rallies Virginia Tech past Notre Dame

CHAMPAIGN – The wind whipped at a consistent 25 mph Saturday, making the 37-degree temperature at Illinois’ Memorial Stadium feel a good 10 degrees colder and making any ball in the air – punt, pass or kick – an adventure.

But Iowa knows how to handle this kind of game.

The Hawkeyes struggled to a 7-0 halftime lead before turning the game

over to LeShun Daniels Jr. and the defense on the way to a 28-0 win over the Illini.

The shutout was the first for Iowa (7-4, 5-3 Big Ten) since a win over Ball State in 2010. Illinois had just 198 yards of offense, had as many first downs – 10 – as punts and never pushed inside the Iowa 30.

Watching the defense work motivated the offense to put points on the board on a day when they were tough to come by, Hawkeyes quarterback C.J. Beathard said.

44 BEARS AT GIANTS, NOON SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780, 105.9-FM

Giants lean on their defense, Manning

Bears try to bounce back from dreadful showing vs. Bucs The New York Giants are hot right now, having won their past four and sitting at 6-3 in the NFC East with the third-best record in the NFC, including a 4-1 mark at home.

So, obviously, it’s pretty difficult to expect anyone who saw the Bears’ meltdown last week in Tampa to feel good about them Eli Manning giving the Giants a game Sunday.

But this is the NFL, and on any given Sunday ...

Although the Giants are hot, it’s worth noting that with the exception of their Week 4 24-10 loss to the Vikings at Minnesota, the Giants’ other eight games have been decided by an average of 3.8 points, six by five points or fewer, and all eight by no more than one score.

The only offensive category in which the Giants are top 10 or better is passing yards, in which they’re ninth. They are 24th in points scored.

The Giants set out to buy a defense during the offseason and shopped pretty well as they now are just 16th in total defense, seventh against the run, best in the NFL in the red zone and 11th in points allowed.

The Bears’ challenges start with Eli Manning, as good a big-game quarterback as there is in the league, maybe one of the best of all-time, but also a guy who can be average when you least expect it.

Manning is completing 64.3 percent of his passes, averaging 7.1 yards a pass and has a pedestrian 87.6 passer rating, but he and receiver Odell Beckham Jr. have become a dynamic duo.

The Giants offense’s Achilles’ heel is their ground game – 31st in the league, 29th in average gain per rush – and inability to protect the football.

New York is 30th in the NFL in turnover ratio. It has turned the ball over 18 times, including 10 interceptions by Manning.

One note here: running back Rashad Jennings is coming off one of his best games of the year with 87

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush yards on 15 carries Monday against the Bengals.

As well as they’ve protected Manning, the Giants’ offensive line is average at best. The main reason it struggles on the ground and how the Bears’ front seven attacks Ereck Flowers, Marshall Newhouse, Weston Richburg, John Jerry and Bobby Hart across the front could dictate the outcome of the game.

The Giants spent a fortune on defensive end Olivier Vernon, defensive tackle Damon Harrison and cornerback Janoris Jenkins to reshape their defense, and it’s worked so far.

Vernon only has three sacks, but he also has five tackles for loss and “Snacks” Harrison is arguably the best run-stuffing tackle in the game.

New York also is benefiting from Jason Pierre-Paul playing 60 minutes each week in a contract year, and although he struggles to wrap up with his bad hand – only 1.5 sacks to date – he still is the team’s fourth-leading tackler.

Clearly the Bears’ softest spot on offense has been at tackle, and if tackles Charles Leno Jr. and Mike Adams don’t play their best games of the season, QB Jay Cutler and RB Jordan Howard might have no chance.

Jenkins has given the Giants the lock-down cover corner they were looking for, which could spell trouble for WR Cameron Meredith. Landon Collins, the Giants’ second-round pick last year, is having an All-Pro season at safety.

The Giants’ coverage units are awful – 31st on kickoffs and 26th on punts.

Deonte Thompson and Eddie Royal could be difference-makers this week if the defense can keep Manning and Beckham in check.

The Giants’ placekicker will look very familiar to Bears fans, as Robbie Gould will be in his fourth game as a Giant with only one field goal attempt so far, but clearly looking to outkick the mediocre-to-date Connor Barth.

El campeon! Daniel Suarez becomes NASCAR’s 1st foreign champ

HOMESTEAD, Fla. – El campeon!

Daniel Suarez won the Xfinity Series season finale and title at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday, becoming the first foreign champion in a NASCAR national series.

The 24-year-old Mexican bested fellow championship contenders Elliott Sadler, Justin Allgaier and Erik Jones on a botched restart with three laps to go.

“It’s very hard to put into words,” Suarez said. “I’m speechless right now. I’m just very proud of everyone and thankful to have the family that I have, my mom, my dad. They gave me all the tools to be here right now. They put me in a car even when we didn’t have the support or the racing background. They supported me, and right now we are just living a dream.”

Mesothelioma can’t keep Jim Pangrazio from pursuing his favorite sport

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

CHANNAHON – Armed with bow and arrow, Jim Pangrazio, 87, of Channahon is out to get his first turkey.

Even mesothelioma won’t stop him. The Chicago native – who’s also lived in Joliet, Lockport and Plainfield through the years – is an experienced bow hunter.

Pangrazio recalled the first time he shot an arrow: April 19, 1950, on Wilson Street in Joliet. It was Pangrazio’s 21st birthday.

“My neighbor next door was outside shooting a bow,” Pangrazio said. “One thing led to another. I was shooting, and he was shooting. I got hooked on shooting a bow right there.”

Pangrazio didn’t immediately pursue the hobby. Marriage and family ranked above the purchase of bows, arrows, arm guards and finger tabs.

Not until years after that first shoot did Pangrazio join the Joliet Archery Club and obtain a used bow from the former Don Swanson’s Sporting Goods in downtown Joliet.

“Back then, arrows were wood,” Pangrazio said. “And our choice of broadheads were limited. As far as hunting purposes go, there were only three broadheads on the market. Some of the guys that were more adventurous even started making their own equipment.”

Broadheads were for hunting; field tips were for target practice, Pangrazio clarified.

Before compound bows became available, Pangrazio made his own string and arrows. In fact, he still owns full-length feathers and the equipment for burning them.

“When they came out with the compound bows, the string was so long I couldn’t do it,” Pangrazio said. “So I just went with commercial ones.”

Although Pangrazio belonged to the Joliet Archery Club, he didn’t immediately begin hunting. Deer were scarce in the Joliet area.

“If someone even saw a deer, it was considered a lucky day,” Pangrazio said.

To hunt, one traveled to Wisconsin and Michigan, prime sites for hunting deer with a bow and arrow, Pangrazio said. But leaving the state to hunt wasn’t feasible for a family man.

“It took me 10 years to get my first deer,” Pangrazio said.

Eric Ginnard - eginnard@shawmedia.com

Jim Pangrazio is seen Thursday in Channahon. The experienced bow-and-arrow hunter has hunted deer, pheasants, rabbits and even wild boar. Pangrazio is turkey hunting for the first time this year.

Catching one was – overall – irrelevant. Pangrazio said he mostly enjoyed the challenge of trying. Over time, Pangrazio hunted other animals, too – pheasants, rabbits and wild boar.

Pangrazio caught the boar years ago during a hunting trip in Iowa.

“I got it the last day I was able to hunt,” Pangrazio said. “I only had a few hours left. A big hog came over. It was a nice easy shot, and I took it.”

Pangrazio regrets it. The sow was huge and had a high fat content. Pangrazio said if he ever has a second opportunity to hunt boars, he’ll stick to small male boars – males have less fat – weighing 100 to 150 pounds.

That said, Pangrazio never kills an animal simply for sport.

“No sense in letting it go to waste,” he said. “I’ll field dress it, cut it up like it was chicken and eat it.”

But isn’t that still cruel? No more cruel than a steak or pork chop dinner, Pangrazio said. In fact, if a young deer approaches Pangrazio during a hunt,

he passes. Some hunters will shoot a young deer, although they will wait until the end of the season when the spots are gone: more meat.

Pangrazio understands why they do it.

“It makes excellent eating,” Pangrazio said of these barely mature deer.

“You don’t even need a knife, just use a fork, and it falls apart.”

Pangrazio stepped away from hunting for a couple years while being treated for mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. Pangrazio said he had worked in a generating station where all the equipment was covered in asbestos to retain heat.

During Pangrazio’s hunting heyday, he’d take off early in the morning, come home for lunch and a rest (“Or I’d cut the grass,” he said) and then go back out. He’s since eliminated the second shift.

The cancer is still present, but Pangrazio feels ready for a challenge. Nevertheless, hunting turkey is tricky, es-

pecially with a bow and arrow. Turkeys have “exceptionally good eyesight.”

“Any movement and they’re gone,” Pangrazio said.

Furthermore, turkeys only appear unintelligent. Pangrazio said many hunters have thought, “’My God, they’re stupid! How could they live?’”

“The next day, they make you look like a fool,” he said.

If Pangrazio does catch a turkey, that bird won’t turn up on his Thanksgiving Day table. He’ll be dining at his daughter’s that day. Instead, he’ll fabricate it, cook it in the crock pot and “eventually eat the whole thing.”

Pangrazio said he did apply for a spring turkey permit, which he said the Illinois Department of Conversation issues on a lottery system. Even though Pangrazio hunts only on private land, he still requires a permit, he said.

“The only time you don’t need a permit is when you get one in the butcher shop,” he said.

help relieve symptoms.

Chemotherapy drugs can be given in a hospital, clinic, doctor’s office or at home.

For most people, a bag filled with the liquid drug is attached to a tube that is inserted into a vein. The drug slowly drips into the patient’s body. Sometimes the patient is able to swallow a pill instead, or get chemotherapy through an injection. People can receive chemotherapy daily, weekly or monthly.

Unfortunately, in addition to attacking cancer cells, chemotherapy drugs also injure normal, healthy cells. This can cause many side effects.

Many anti-cancer drugs, for example, affect the production of blood cells. This includes red blood cells that carry oxygen and platelets that help blood clot. Chemotherapy also inhibits the production of white blood cells that fight infection. That’s why a common side effect of chemotherapy is increased susceptibility to serious infections.

Other common side effects include fatigue, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, hair loss and rashes. Your mother’s doctor can help manage many of these side effects.

In recent years, medical scientists have developed new treatments. Some target the chemical changes in cancerous cells that cause them to grow uncontrollably. Others harness the body’s immune system to attack cancerous cells. For certain types of cancers, these new approaches appear more effective, and less toxic, than chemotherapy.

PREVIOUS SOLUTION

• Sunday, November 20, 2016

Dear Dr K: My mother was diagnosed with cancer and soon will begin chemotherapy.

I’d like to understand how chemotherapy is given, and how it fights cancer.

Dear Reader: Chemotherapy uses drugs that kill cancerous cells, but only injure healthy cells. To understand chemotherapy, you need to understand what cancer is and what is different about cancer cells.

Our body contains 13 trillion cells. They all started from one cell, a cell that kept dividing. One cell became two, two became four, and so on. But the cells kept dividing in a carefully controlled manner. Early in our lives (even before we were born), they had to keep dividing so that we would grow larger.

After we are fully formed adults, some cells need to divide to replace dying old cells with younger ones.

In contrast, cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Chemotherapy (anti-cancer) drugs kill cancer cells or prevent them from growing and dividing. The drugs reach almost all parts of the body. This helps to kill cancer cells that have spread from the original site of the cancer.

Chemotherapy is the core treatment for some cancers. For other cancers, it is part of a larger strategy along with radiation and/or surgery. Chemotherapy often requires a combination of two or more different anti-cancer drugs. Cancer specialists (oncologists) design chemotherapy plans based on the cancer being treated and how far the cancer has spread.

Cancer chemotherapy may be designed to: • cure the cancer; • prevent the cancer from recurring after surgery; • prevent the cancer from spreading to other organs; • decrease the size of a tumor to make surgery easier; • shrink the size of incurable cancer to

Dear Abby: I’m 42, and the mother of three children. I love my kids, but after many years of wanting to do something about my “mommy belly,” I decided to have a tummy tuck.

As a woman of color, my preference was for a sculpted, curvy shape. For aesthetic reasons, I liked the work being done in a certain foreign country. That it was cheaper there was an added plus.

After months of researching, I settled on a board-certified doctor. His before and after pictures were great, and I was told he and the clinic had a “zero percent infection rate.”

Two weeks after I returned home, things quickly went bad. Fluid drained from my tummy tuck and belly button incisions. A local plastic surgeon sent me immediately to an emergency room.

At the ER, my fever was 102 and I was admitted to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with mycobacterium abscessus

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips infection. I was hospitalized for 11 days and had surgery to manually clear the infection from my abdomen. I was sent home with a PICC line so I could continue receiving my IV meds at home.

Two months after my elective surgery, I cannot stand up straight due to the pain. The experience has been awful, and it’s still far from over. I’m still on IV antibiotics, have daily nursing visits, multiple visits to the ER and have had multiple surgeries.

I won’t be able to work for three to six months, and my medical bills are over $100,000. (Thank goodness I have health insurance!) The side effects of the meds I’m on are nausea, diarrhea, lack of appetite and drowsiness.

NEIGHBOR

It’s hard for me to take care of myself or my children. I feel guilty about the pain I’m causing my family, and I’m so depressed I don’t like going places and have withdrawn from those closest to me.

I know infections are a risk with any surgical procedure and this could have happened in America, but the fact is, this infection is known to be caused by poor sterilization in the OR, and this should have been avoidable if the proper sterilization procedures were followed.

When I contacted the doctor who did my surgery, he denied I got it from him. He offered to repair any cosmetic damage, but I’d be crazy to go back there for additional procedures. He’s in no way accountable, and the system over there promotes that. As an American, I have no recourse. I’m just stuck here suffering.

I know others may have had wonderful experiences, but I want to shed light

Volunteer.

on life after surgery abroad that went wrong. I also want to encourage others to make sure they plan for the worst-case scenario: Consider who will provide extended care to your kids during periods of hospitalization, how you will pay your astronomical medical bills, and whether you can afford living on reduced or no income for the duration of treatment, which can be several months.

Thanks for printing this, Abby. –

Lesson Learned Dear Lesson Learned: Wow. I’m very

sorry you learned all this the hard way.

I hope your experience will alert readers to the fact that there’s risk involved when considering surgery in countries where the regulation of hospitals and surgical facilities may not be up to American standards.

Charles M. Schwab said, “All successful employers are stalking men who will do the unusual, men who think, men who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them.”

Successful bridge players stalk tricks, which occasionally requires doing the unusual -- as in today’s deal.

South is in three no-trump. West leads a fourth-highest spade seven.

What should happen after that?

This is the single most common bidding sequence. South assumes that North will cover the spade suit, and North assumes that South will coast home easily with a combined 28-30 points between them.

South starts with seven top tricks: four diamonds and three clubs. He can easily establish three more winners in hearts. His only concern is the spade suit. Well, there is no hurry to put up dummy’s king. That can wait until the second round of the suit.

Now the spotlight falls on East.

He knows that when the lead is fourth-highest, he should apply the Rule of Eleven. Seven from 11 is four.

So there are four spades higher than the seven in the North, East and South hands combined. Lo and behold, East can see all four: the kingnine on the board and the ace-jack in his hand. So South has no spade higher than the seven.

This would tempt some Easts to win the first trick with the jack -- irreparably blocking the suit. A stalker will win with the ace and return the jack, trusting his partner to overtake with the queen to drive out dummy’s king. Then, when West gets in with his heart ace, he cashes the rest of the spades for down one.
