This week, high school sports broke new ground, but not in a good way.

There’s a reason you saw mention of Fenwick and Plainfield North all over the media landscape this week, usually accompanied by jokes, and it wasn’t because of bad officiating.

As IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson told reporters after Wednesday’s court date finished, with Fenwick losing its request for an injunction, “I don’t think this is a win.”

The week since Plainfield North’s 18-17 overtime win over Fenwick in a Class 7A playoff game has been filled with angst over the result, based on an incorrect implementation of a rule by game officials and the IHSA’s refusal to allow for an appeal.

There were hot takes on how Plainfield North should forfeit the game anyway, how Fenwick was being immature by taking the result to court and how the IHSA was conspiring to keep private schools out of the state finals.

We tried to stay out of the slinging and back-and-forth as much as possible, simply reporting what happened.

But the reality is, the judge couldn’t overturn the result.

VIEWS

Jon Styf That would set us up with a court system filled with cases of upset parents, coaches or administrators wishing to right wrongs in sports results by suing.

We can’t have that. That’s not what the legal system is for.

This was a unique case, for sure, with the game seemingly decided and a rule, not a judgment call, enforced incorrectly.

But if Fenwick, at the time, was so confident it had won, the game was over and the call was wrong, the team should have simply left the field under protest. In that case, it seems clear the Friars would have ultimately been awarded the win.

The problem was, they clearly weren’t so confident in the rule themselves. They kept playing, then Plainfield North won.

If the appeal was allowed or the result was overturned, it would allow for a slippery slope of a bevy of game result appeals. Plainfield North could go back, find a few seconds here or there where

the clock should have stopped quicker and argue the game shouldn’t have ended on that pass anyway.

The Detroit Lions could sue the NFL for the result of a 2010 game against the Chicago Bears based on the definition of a catch, when Calvin Johnson’s seemingly game-winning grab was nullified.

But that’s not how this should have been resolved.

It’s simply good for sports that the result wasn’t overturned.

And, if you’re Fenwick, you shouldn’t be happy to hear that. But you will have to live with it.

In a perfect world, every call should be made correctly. But this is far from a perfect world and referees are human, heading out each week knowing they will likely be subjected to torment for limited pay.

As I mentioned in Monday’s paper, how we remember this will be all about how the schools act heading forward. Unfortunately, this week didn’t do anything to improve that memory.

Changes in D-10 board increase Republican majority

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – District 10 of Will County will see completely new leadership on the County Board for the first time in more than a decade.

Provisional and grace period votes were added to county voting totals Tuesday. All election results stayed the same.

In District 10, Gloria Dollinger, R-Joliet, and Tyler Marcum, D-Joliet, will replace Democrats Joseph Babich and Steve Joe Wilhelmi – both of Joliet – after Babich they did not seek re-election.

Dollinger and Marcum will be sworn in Dec. 5.

County officials on Nov. 17 thanked Babich and Wilhelmi for their service, as well as District 1 board member Bob Howard, D-Beecher, who was unseated Gloria

by Democrat Laurie Summers of Dollinger Crete.

Babich first was elected to the Will County Board in 1982 and served 34 years, while Wilhelmi spent 18 years on the board. Before redistricting in 2012, they served as two members in what was then a three-member District 9.

Republican Caucus Chairman Chuck Maher, R-Naperville, read a statement at the Nov. 17 meeting thanking Babich for his service, shared a couple of stories and introduced Babich to a standing ovation from the board and others in attendance.

Babich, known to many as “Banana Joe”

Babich, a nickname he got for bringing a banana to school every day as a boy, said he’ll miss his friends and colleagues immensely.

“Everything I did, I did for a reason,” he said of the people of Will County. “The reason is you people. I thank everybody. I don’t know how to say it. … Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Wilhelmi received loud applause and encouraged members of the board to continue spending time with each other, regardless of party, outside of meetings.

Wilhelmi, an accountant, was Steve thanked by the board for his serWilhelmi vice particularly on financial matters. But how the change in District 10 representation will affect constituents and the county as a whole remains to be seen.

Before the Nov. 8 election, the board was composed of 15 Tyler Republicans and 11 Democrats.

Dollinger’s win in District 10 inMarcum creases the Republican majority to 16 members on the board and 10 Democrats.

Although the change gives the Republican Party more power on the board, board members don’t always necessarily vote along party lines.

Evidence of this could be seen Nov. 17, when five Republicans voted against a $200,000 addon to the county’s contract with a design firm related to the new Will County Judicial Center.

The amended contract passed with a 17-5 vote, allowing the county to seek Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification on the facility.

Joliet festival and parade adds light to Black Friday

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Light Up the Holidays Festival and Parade offered an alternative to Black Friday shopping madness – or one more activity in an event-filled day.

“I’ve been to Carson’s. I’ve been to Kohl’s. I’ve been all over,” Rachel Manzo of Shorewood said as she waited with granddaughter Jaelyn Manzo, 8, of Shorewood for the parade to start.

“I’ve been going since 7 a.m.,” she said. “I went home to have lunch. I called Jaelyn. I said, ‘Let’s go to the parade.’ ” Chicago Street was lined with thousands of people when the parade started at 5:30 p.m. after a holiday fireworks show above the newly lit city Christmas tree in Van Buren Plaza.

“I love the tree. I love Christmas,” said Carrie Hromek of Joliet after shooting some photos of the tree.

A regular attendee of the Light Up the Holidays parade, Hromek said, “It brings the community together. The kids get to watch the parade. They love the bands and the fire trucks.”

Lots of parents and grandparents came to see family members marching in the parade.

“I have two kids marching in two different bands for the first time,” said Beth Kaiser of Joliet.

Her son, Brendan Smith, was playing trumpet with the Joliet West High School Marching Tigers. Her daughter, Jenna Smith, was playing flute with the Troy Middle School Marching Trojans. Even Kaiser’s husband, Douglas Kaiser, was in on the act – driving the band truck for Joliet West.

Bob Higgins of Wilmington was there to see his son play the trombone with the Wilmington High School band.

“If he follows through with what he told me earlier, he’s going to wear a big teddy bear head,” Higgins said.

More than a parade

The parade always is the big attraction.

But the Light Up the Holidays Festival and Parade is a daylong event with assorted Christmas-themed activities throughout downtown.

“I’ve been down here all day,” said Clem Johnson of Joliet. “I’m enjoying the festivities.”

Breanna English of Joliet listed the

“We’ve done it all,” English said.

Her daughter, Makinsey Whitmore, 8, said the museum was fun, especially the ice sculpture demonstrations outside.

“I think they looked cool,” she said.

Crafts, cookies and Christmas

The Joliet Area Historical Museum was “packed all day,” said Tyler Simons, a museum employee. “The kids were having a great time.”

Lori Oldham of Joliet visited the museum with her granddaughter,

Continued from page 3 Ulianna Perez, who would be in the parade later.

“We spent the day here,” Oldham said. “My granddaughter’s friend is from Mexico, and it was his first time at the museum.”

The Joliet Public Library was busy throughout the day, too, said Linda Ward-Callaghan, head of youth services.

Santa was in the library reading room talking to children about Christmas and reading “ ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” In the youth library,

kids were coloring and making cards.

“We’re a focal point right now for people who come in and get warm before they go to the parade,” Ward-Callaghan said as people were gathering inside and outside the library in the hour before the parade.

Brian Erhardt of Joliet was in the library with his wife as their three children made cards. He said he’s been coming to the parade “long enough that I’ve forgotten how many times.”

Erhardt said they came out a little earlier this year because the weather was warm.

‘People from all over’

At Gji’s Sweet Shoppe, Ciara Gant,

part of the family that owns and runs the business, said the store had been busy all day with people stopping in to make holiday cookies with Mrs. Claus or to buy hot cocoa.

The Light Up the Holidays event tends to bring new people to the store, she said.

“We meet people from all over,” Gant said. “People from out of town visit us. Regular customers come visit us.”

Andy Bulthuis of Frankfort was at the parade with 14 other family members. He works for Republic Services, a waste and recyclables hauling company.

“We have a couple of garbage

trucks in the parade,” Bulthuis said.

Jan Stack of Shorewood, whose grandchildren were marching in the parade, said all of the activity reminded her of her high school years, when downtown was filled with stores and she would spend Saturdays going to organ lessons, shopping and eating lunch at the diner in the Kresge’s store.

“I just am so pleased, to see so many people here in downtown Joliet,” Stack said.

The Light Up the Holidays Festival and Parade is organized by the Joliet City Center Partnership. The main sponsor for the event is the University of St. Francis.

Vinyl enthusiasts celebrate holidays with exchange event Get crafty

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Jayme Cameron and her son, Matthew Cameron, walked through the event room doors at Clayton’s Tap on Friday afternoon with a bag of vinyl records in tow to swap.

“Matthew is my old-soul child. He loves records and has a record player where he listens to records from his great-grandparents and grandparents, so I saw this event on Facebook and I thought he would love it,” Jayme said.

From 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, the back room at Clayton’s Tap was transformed into a vinyl record exchange organized by Jamie Barbeau as part of Morris’ Home for the Holidays.

More than 20 people, including Morris native Jimmy Stafford of Train, chatted with fellow music enthusiasts, swapped personal vinyls, listened to music at the headphone-listening station and created fun memories at the vinyl album selfie booth.

“My favorite music is Pink Floyd and Rolling Stones. I like rock ’n’ roll because my grandpa showed me stuff about his music,” 12-year-old Matthew said.

Matthew brought his vinyls for exchange, but when he didn’t see any he wanted to swap for, another vinyl lover gave him $30 to extend his collection.

Jamie Barbeau offered the following craft ideas for damaged vinyls: n Record necklace, www.diygadgets. blogspot.com/2010/11/vinyl-record-into-cool-necklace n Record bowls, www.starsforsteetlights. com/diy-vinyl-record-bowls n Vinyl coasters, www.morningcreativity. com/vinyl-coasters n Bracelet cuffs, www.collegecandy. com/2008/12/07/diy-xmas-gifts-reformedbracelets Barbeau also created a fundraising corner toward the back of the room. With donations from Tim and Julie Applegate, Al and Shirley Barbeau, and True North in Morris, patrons could take a vinyl from the donors’ personal collections in exchange for a donation to the nonprofit VH1 Save the Music Foundation.

“Music was always a way for me to express myself. It either got me motivated to do something or got me through rough times. This organization is a program designed to make sure music isn’t a program that gets cut in schools and puts an instrument in every kid’s hands,” Jamie Barbeau said.

Matthew Cameron, 12, of Morris, looks through the vinyl exchange pile Friday afternoon at Clayton’s Tap at the new vinyl record exchange, which took place as part of the Home for the Holidays event. Matthew brought several records to exchange, but ended up selling instead.

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

nership Executive Director Julie Applegate said there was a similar event at the Liberty Arts Festival this summer, and so when Jamie Barbeau approached her because the partnership sponsors Home for the Holidays, she was excited to add the exchange to the list of events.

“Vinyl record exchanges are a pretty big thing outside of this area, so I think this event could grow as a part of Home for the Holidays and the Liberty Arts Fes-

tival,” Julie Applegate said. “This event was unique – something not done often in Morris.”

Jamie Barbeau said she hopes to keep the tradition in Morris because music has been such a big part of her life, and she has seen a trend in vinyl exchanges as well.

“The classics never go out of style. The sound of the crackle makes me happy and I think it connects generations,” she said.

Joliet considers changing rules for potbellied pigs

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Potbellied pigs could become normalized as pets in Joliet if the city moves ahead with a proposed change in its animal ordinance.

The change could resolve a dispute over a potbellied pig kept by one Joliet family.

The new rules will be reviewed by the City Council Land Use and Legislative Committee at a 9:30 a.m. meeting Monday in City Hall.

The proposal allows potbellied pigs under certain limits, including one per home, leash requirements and detailed rules for the handling of excretion.

The change in the city’s animal law was developed after the city received an anonymous complaint about a potbellied pig being kept at one home. The city has notified the pig owners that the presence of the animal violates the animal ordinance, but no action has been taken as city officials weigh whether to accept potbellied pigs as pets.

“If the council goes the way of the proposal, this would resolve it,” City Attorney Marty Shanahan said.

City ordinances now only allow pigs on farms. There is no exception for potbellied pigs, a swine variety that originated in Vietnam, is considered domesticated, and is kept by many people as a pet.

“I feel we should have certain circumstances in place where there is not just a blanket ordinance outlawing it.”

yard designed to assure that the animal is confined and managed in a safe, clean and odor-free manner when outof-doors,” the proposal states.

The proposal also requires that the pig be on a leash when on a sidewalk or street.

But it only allows the pig to go outdoors “for evacuation of waste material (excreta) on the owner’s or keeper’s premises, for exercise periods on the owner’s or keeper’s premises, or for transporting such pig to and from the veterinarian or other necessary places.”

Also regarding pig waste, the proposal states, “Said excreta shall be removed from any pen, cage or yard in which such potbellied pig is kept to prevent contamination, diseases, hazards and odors.”

The proposal also bans “the accumulation of excreta upon any premises.”

Committee Chairman Terry Morris said he is inclined to support some acPig conditions commodation for potbellied pigs kept The proposal would allow a home- as pets. owner to have a potbellied pig up to 125 “I feel we should have certain cirpounds in weight and up to 18 inches cumstances in place where there is not high measured from the shoulder. just a blanket ordinance outlawing it,” The pig must be provided “a fenced he said.

An aerial photo shows the Ikea distribution center under construction in Joliet. the size of the building has been tweaked since it was projected as 1.4 million square feet. But the building can be expanded, he said, and Ikea still plans to build a second twin building at the site, although a construction date has not been set.

The solar project in Joliet contrib-

utes to the company’s long-term energy goals, Roth said.

“We want to generate by 2020 more energy than we actually consume,” he said.

In Illinois, Ikea also owns a wind farm with 49 turbines in Hoopeston that produces power for general con-

Culver’s restaurant coming to South Larkin Avenue

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The South Larkin Avenue improvement efforts should get an extra boost when a Culver’s restaurant opens in early 2017.

The Culver’s is being built at 305 S. Larkin Ave. in an outlot of a commercial area that has been under redevelopment since Wal-Mart moved and Cub Foods closed.

The area also is in the first commercial corridor targeted by the city this year for a voluntary enforcement program aimed at sprucing up areas where temporary signs and other code violations had become problems.

“It’s a Culver’s with a lot of landscaping around it. It definitely will dress up the area,” Culver’s franchisee Baron Waller said.

Waller said the expected opening for the Culver’s ranges from mid-January to early February, depending on the weather.

While the city has been watching for code violations in an effort to make the section of Larkin Avenue more appealing, Waller has been looking at traffic counts that make the area attractive for business.

“Larkin is a pretty busy section of Joliet,” he said. “We like it because it’s pretty busy. It’s also right near the expressway.”

Waller also owns the Culver’s restaurants in Lockport and New Lenox. He is being joined in the Joliet venture by his nephew, Bryon Waller, who lives in Lockport.

City officials, meanwhile, like Culver’s because it’s a popular restaurant chain with some visual appeal at its locations.

“Right now, it’s a parking lot that they’re building on,” Joliet Economic Development Director Steve Jones said.

Culver’s won’t be the first business on South Larkin Avenue with landscaping added to the streetscape. Newer developments have landscaping.

But many properties were developed

in another era when green space was not part of the business plan and cities did not require such amenities.

“We hope people will see it and say, ‘If we did this, this and this, we can improve our property, as well,’” Jones said.

The city’s voluntary code enforcement program got as far as Larkin Avenue, but not much farther.

Jones said the city started working west from Larkin Avenue on Jefferson Street, but a limited building inspection staff had to focus on new construction when the building season started. With winter arriving, the program should become more active again, he said.

JOLIET – The massive Ikea distribution center under construction in Joliet will be equipped with a solar energy system.

Ikea, the Swedish home furnishings retailer, announced this month that it will add a 470,545-square-foot solar array to the roof of the project being built in the Laraway Crossings Business Park.

“Installing Illinois’ largest rooftop array advances our vision of creating a better everyday life for the many,” Ikea U.S. President Lars Peterson stated in a news release announcing the solar rooftop.

Ikea includes solar arrays on the rooftops of its Bolingbrook and Schaumburg stores, and the Joliet project will be the largest such system in Illinois.

The solar panels will be on top of a 1.25-million-square-foot distribution center expected to open in spring 2018.

Ikea spokesman Joseph Roth said

sumption. The company has 104 wind turbines in the U.S. and about 300 worldwide.

The company has installed 700,000 solar panels on buildings worldwide.

The solar panels to be installed in Joliet will be used to provide energy to that building, Roth said. Installation will begin in the spring.

The Joliet project will consist of 8,966 panels that will produce 3.4 million kilowatt hours of electricity, according to Ikea. The company said the solar panels will reduce the equivalent of nearly 2,400 tons of carbon dioxide, which is equal to the annual amount of electricity needed by 354 homes.

SoCore Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Edison International, has been selected to develop, design and install the Joliet power system.

Gray Construction is managing the construction of the Joliet distribution center, which is expected to employ 100 workers when it opens.

The Laraway Crossings Business Park is located at Route 53 and Laraway Road.

Dana Janiec (center) trained earlier this month at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center in California.

Plainfield girl is alternate on national archery team

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Dana Janiec dreamed of making it to the Compound Junior Dream Team, and after a tough period of training in California, she achieved it.

Dana, 12, is the first alternate for the national archery team. She said this has been her dream goal for the past few years.

“It’s really cool because not a lot of people get to experience their dreams.

For me, this is finally happening, and it’s just kind of mind-blowing as well,” said Dana, who is a student at Heritage Grove Middle School in Plainfield.

There were 45 applicants for the team, who were whittled down to 20 before 10 were chosen to be on the team and five were selected as alternatives, said Dana’s mother, Lori Janiec.

According to USA Archery, the Compound Junior Dream Team was developed to help young compound archers focus on technical and mental skills with the ultimate goal of developing future international success at world championship and cup levels.

Between Nov. 8 and Nov. 13, Dana was at Chula Vista Olympic Training Center in California for a training camp for the team, where she met others like her with a passion for archery, as well as Olympic archer Zach Garrett. Other Olympic archers also visited the camp.

Dana said the training was a lot of hard work that involved physical exercise. She would start her day at 7 or 8 a.m. and not finish until 9 p.m. “[Dana] went to sleep and didn’t wake up until I woke her up the next

Dana Janiec morning,” said Lori, who accompanied Dana to California.

Dana learned about her form and how to keep it consistent for archery, as well as the mental game of managing stress under pressure and keeping her focus.

She said there were coaches on the national level she also got to meet.

“It was a whole different viewpoint than what I would have had at home,” she said.

Now that Dana is the first alternate, she said she will continue training and competing in tournaments.

She trains at Strictly Archery in Shorewood and is a member of Mission JOAD, an archery team based in Shorewood and coached by Greg Semaan.

Dana has won awards in the past, including winning in her age division for the Illinois Junior Olympic Archery Development indoor compound bow competition and becoming a recipient of the JOAD Gold Olympian award.

Lori said she and Dana’s father, Jeff Janiec, are extremely proud of their daughter.

“She has the dedication and the heart, and this is what she wants, and she went after it,” Lori said.

Morris Hospital radiation patients deferred to Joliet during facility equipment upgrade MORRIS – Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers has announced that it is temporarily deferring services at its Radiation Therapy Center in order to replace and upgrade the linear accelerator used to deliver radiotherapy cancer treatment, according to a hospital news release.

Services will be deferred until about mid March.

Patients in active treatment have been transitioned to Presence Cancer Care, 2614 W. Jefferson St., Joliet. The

same radiation oncologists who serve Morris Hospital’s radiation center at 1600 W. Route 6 also practice at Presence Cancer Care, allowing patients to have their care and treatment managed by the same physicians they see in Morris. Patients will be able to transition back to Morris when the project is complete.

According to Liz Bates, director of imaging services, patient access and radiation therapy at Morris Hospital, the current equipment used to deliver radiation therapy for cancer treatment is original to when the center opened

in 2004.

“Medical technology is constantly improving, and cancer treatments are continually changing,” Bates stated in the news release. “Our new TruBeam system from Varian Medical is an advanced radiotherapy technology that targets tumors with accuracy measured in millimeters.”

Bates said staff will continue to be available by phone to guide and assist patients. Additionally, the free Morris Hospital Patient Transportation Service is available to give patients rides to Joliet for their cancer treatment.

NEW LENOX – The New Lenox Fire Protection District wants to keep its wreaths red.

As of Friday, the large red wreaths on the front of the four district fire stations are not just decorations, they promote fire safety with holiday lighting,

district fire and life safety educator Marisa Schrieber said.

The wreaths will remain up until Jan. 1 and will stay completely red unless the district responds to a fire caused by holiday decorations. Each fire will result in a white bulb replacing a red one.

Schrieber asks everyone to unplug lights when no one is going to be home

Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms also should be checked year-round and as part of a decorating checklist, Schrieber said.

Joliet police: Pup stolen from Furry Babies store

Shop owner offering reward for dog’s safe return

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet police are investigating the theft of a puppy from Furry Babies.

The female Shih Tzu puppy was stolen from the store about 7:50 p.m.

Wednesday, according to the Joliet retailer’s Facebook page. The store is located inside the Louis Joliet Mall.

Joliet Police Capt. Jeff Allbert said Friday that the case has been assigned to the department’s investigation division.

Furry Babies posted at 9:53 p.m.

Wednesday video footage of the theft, alleging a family in the store’s playroom distracted the staff while a man and a woman stole the puppy out of her crib.

The man that the store alleges stole the puppy is seen in the footage wear-

ing a dark blue cap and black jacket with a gray collar. The woman is wearing a black jacket and carrying a black bag with white stripes.

At the 1 minute, 23 second point in the footage from the store, the man picks up a puppy from the crib and he and the woman appear to pet her but do not appear to put the animal back down. The two then walk out of the store.

Ana Soskic, owner of Furry Babies, said the store is offering a cash reward for the puppy’s safe return. The store is asking anyone with information to contact the police or the store at 815577-9800.

Soskic said she wants to make sure the puppy is OK. She also noted the puppy has a microchip.

“We are just concerned and want to make sure the puppy comes back,” she said.

Ron Glass, co-star of TV’s ‘Barney Miller’ dead at 71

By JOHN ROGERS

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Ron Glass, the handsome, prolific character actor best known for his role as the gregarious, sometimes sardonic detective Ron Harris in the long-running cop comedy “Barney Miller,” has died at age 71.

Glass died Friday of respiratory failure, his agent, Jeffrey Leavett, told The Associated Press on Saturday.

“Ron was a private, gentle and caring man,” said Leavett, a longtime friend of the actor. “He was an absolute delight to watch on screen. Words cannot adequately express my sorrow. “ Although best known for “Barney Miller,” Glass appeared in dozens of other shows in a television and film career dating to the early 1970s. He portrayed Derrial Book, the spiritual shepherd with a cloudy past in the 2002 science-fiction series “Firefly” and its 2005 film sequel “Serenity.”

He was Felix Unger opposite Desmond Wilson’s Oscar Madison in “The New Odd Couple,” a 1980s reboot of the original Broadway show, film and television series that this time cast black actors in the lead roles of Unger’s prissy neat freak forced to share an apartment with slovenly friend Madison.

Glass was also the voice of Randy Carmichael, the genial neighbor and father of four children in the popular Nickelodeon cartoon series “Rugrats” and its spinoff, “All Grown Up.” He also made appearances in such shows as “Friends,” “Star Trek: Voyager” and “Designing Women.”

More recently, he appeared in episodes of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Early credits included “All in the Family,” “Maude,” “Sanford and Son” and “Hawaii Five-0.”

In “Barney Miller” his literate Detective Ron Harris was one of the few generally normal characters who populated a New York City police precinct filled with oddballs on both sides of the law.

The ensemble cast included Hal Linden as precinct Capt. Barney Miller, Max Gail as Detective Stan ‘Wojo’ Wojciehowicz, and Abe Vigoda as Detective Phil Fish.

The show aired from 1975 until 1982, winning two Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards for best comedy series. Glass was nominated for a supporting actor Emmy in 1982.

Actor Ron Glass is seen arriving at the 65th Emmy Awards Nomination Celebration in 2013 at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles.

Raised in Evansville, Indiana, Glass received a Bachelor of Arts degree in drama and literature from the University of Evansville.

After graduation he moved to Minneapolis, where he worked in regional theater before coming to Los Angeles to launch his TV and film career.

He also was a member of the board

of directors for Los Angeles’ AL Wooten Jr. Heritage Center, an organization named for a man murdered in a gang-initiation drive-by shooting and dedicated to helping inner-city youth stay safe and receive an education.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WAUKEGAN – A state effort aimed at reducing the time foster children spend in temporary placements in Illinois is being launched in Lake County.

A court-appointed panel developed the plan that localizes decision-making and emphasizes keeping families together, according to the Chicago Tribune.

“It is not normal to grow up in foster care,” Department of Children and Family Services Director George Sheldon said. “It is not normal to have your parents change every eight hours in an institution. It’s not normal to move from one placement ... to another placement, even if those are all good placements. That child begins to believe they don’t belong anywhere.”

Lake County immersion site director Norma Machay said the depart-

George Sheldon, Department of Children and Family Services director

ment will host twice-monthly meetings for those involved in the process to discuss challenges and obstacles in the foster care system and develop concrete solutions.

Machay said these meetings could involve foster and birth parents, case workers and local service providers connected to child care.

Illinois’ Institutional Reform Project, said the plan aims to increase the availability of mental health services in the community, as well as start therapeutic foster homes for kids with mental and behavioral health issues.

Indiana man to stand trial in Illinois infant’s 1972 death

BELLEVILLE – The Illinois Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal of an Indiana man facing murder charges in the death of an infant more than 40 years ago.

That means 65-year-old Gary Warwick of Portage, Indiana, is now scheduled to appear in St. Clair County court on Dec. 20 in the 1972 death of Joseph Abernathy III. The 1-yearold Abernathy was found dead in a Bellville park.

According to the Belleville News-Democrat, Warwick lived with the boy and his mother at the time.

Warwick was charged in 1972 and again in 2014. But those charges were dismissed each time.

An Illinois appeals court in May overturned the most recent dismissal.

Cathy Altman is the infant’s mother and says she has dreamed that someday the case would go to trial.

U.S. Rep. Davis urges tougher gun laws at grandson’s funeral

CHICAGO – A Chicago congressman called for tougher gun laws and more investment in inner-city communities during a funeral Saturday for his 15-year-old grandson, who was shot dead after an argument over basketball shoes.

U.S. Rep. Danny Davis told worshippers that Javon Wilson was like millions of kids who “cannot live without the fear of not making it through another day.”

Wilson was shot in the head last week inside his home on Chicago’s South Side.

Two juveniles – a 16-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl – have been charged with first-degree murder and ordered held without bail.

“Somehow or another we have not had the will to stop the flow of guns through our inner-city communities, where they run through like water running through the Mississippi River,” Davis said as he delivered the eulogy at Carey Tercentenary AME Church.

He also questioned how the teenagers responsible were able to get a gun.

Chicago has seen a spike in gun violence this year, with close to 700 homicides and nearly 4,000 shooting victims.

In August alone, 91 people were killed, marking the deadliest month in the city in two decades.

Police say Wilson knew the teens charged with killing him, and that they may have been friends at some point.

Davis said he was told a boy traded pants for shoes with Wilson’s 14-year-old brother but changed his mind and went to Wilson’s house with the 17-year-old girl.

He said they forced their way into the home, where the teenagers argued before the boy shot Wilson.

Davis said he grieves for his grandson and for the people responsible for his death, saying they have been raised in a society and system that is deeply flawed.

He said there hasn’t been enough done to create jobs in struggling neighborhoods, to improve education or to give young people hope.

Among those who attended the service were the Rev. Jesse Jackson, U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas and Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool.

1 dead, 5 injured at Chicago house party shooting

CHICAGO – A 20-year-old man has died and five other people have been injured in a shooting at a Chicago house party. Police said the shooting occurred about 2:30 a.m. Saturday on the city’s South Side.

Community activist Andrew Holmes told WLS-TV that there was “a good amount of people” at the home when someone came through firing a weapon.

Witnesses said people jumped from an upstairs window to escape the gunfire.

Another 20-year-old man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Four people – a 25-year-old woman and men ages 21, 22 and 23 – were hospitalized and in stable condition.

No one was in police custody.

The shooting occurred about a block away from where an 18-year-old man was seriously wounded during a drive-by shooting Friday night.

Part of Galesburg mall to be demolished, replaced

GALESBURG – Parts of a Galesburg shopping mall are being demolished to make room for new buildings that could include restaurants, a hotel and an entertainment venue.

The Register-Mail reported that demolition is set to begin at Sandburg Mall in the spring. The mall’s anchor stores – Bergner’s and JCPenney – will remain, but other retailers will have to relocate.

Tom Morris is a Texas real estate investor who’s working with the mall’s new owner. He said the heart of the mall will be torn down, and the smaller stores in the mall will likely be gone by March.

Morris said he’s hopeful some of those tenants will return once the new building is complete.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Trump: Recount push a scam; election is over

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday condemned a growing push to force recounts in three states pivotal to his Nov. 8 victory, confronting the Green Party-backed effort for the first time even as he worked to address key Cabinet vacancies.

The New York billionaire, who charged the election was “rigged” on a daily basis before his victory, called the developing recount effort “a scam” in a statement released by his transition team.

Trump had been ignoring Green Party nominee Jill Stein’s fight to revisit vote totals in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Wisconsin officials announced late Friday they are moving forward with the first presidential recount in state history.

“The people have spoken and the election is over,” Trump declared Saturday. He added, “We must accept this result and then look to the future.”

Standing Rock Sioux tribal leader Dave Archambault and other protest organizers confidently explained that they’ll stay at the Oceti Sakowin camp and continue with nonviolent protests a day after Archambault received a letter from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that said all federal lands north of the Cannonball River will be closed to public access Dec. 5 for “safety concerns.”

The Corps cited the oncoming winter and increasingly contentious clashes between protesters, who believe the pipeline could harm drinking water, Native American cultural sites and police.

In front of La Carreta Restaurant, the Cuban community in Miami celebrates Saturday’s announcement that Fidel Castro died.

Miami’s Cubans hope for change with Castro’s death The ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI – Wearing his “Bay of Pigs Veteran” shirt, 80-year-old Rafael Torre stood amid hundreds of Cuban-Americans celebrating the death of Fidel Castro and marveled that he remained in power for so long.

Cuban exiles such as Torre tried numerous ways to dislodge Castro after he took power in 1959, including the failed 1961 CIA-backed invasion memorialized on his shirt. Now, like many others, Torre is hopeful for Cuba’s future with the bearded revolutionary leader finally gone.

“We tried for more than 50 years but couldn’t do it. Now he’s dead, and maybe things can change,” Torre said. “It might take three or four years. Maybe the revolution will be on the streets in three or four months.”

Thousands of people took to the streets of Miami and nearby cities Saturday shortly after the early morning announcement of Castro’s death at age 90, and kept the party going all day. They banged pots with spoons, honked car horns, waved Cuban and U.S. flags in the air and whooped in jubilation on Calle Ocho – as Little Havana’s 8th Street is universally known.

Police blocked off streets leading to Cafe Versailles, the quintessential Cuban-American hotspot where strong cafecitos – sweetened espresso – were as common as a harsh word about Castro, the nemesis of so many exiles for so long. Many said they recognize his death alone doesn’t mean immediate democracy or freedom for the communist island.

“We need for the people of Cuba to have the freedom we have in the U.S., but this changes

nothing. There won’t be change until the people revolt,” said Juan Cobas, 50, who came to the U.S. from Cuba at age 13.

Others saw Fidel’s death as a sign that a generation that has ruled Cuba for decades is passing from the world stage, many noting that his brother, current President Raul Castro, is 85.

“I’m feeling this is the beginning of the end,” said Alex Pineiro, 32. “Fidel was the architect of what’s going on. It’s a mix of emotions, I’m happy he’s dead, but I’m celebrating hope.”

There were no reports of violence or any arrests during the demonstrations, Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Fallat said Saturday. Miami-Dade County officials said there were no plans to activate the emergency operations center – another sign of the more subdued reaction to Castro’s death than might have previously been expected.

“They are celebrating but in a very peaceful way,” Fallat said of the demonstrators.

The U.S. Coast Guard was running regular patrols and not increasing staffing levels or taking other emergency steps, Petty Officer Jonathan Lally said. The Coast Guard has seen a sharp uptick in Cubans trying to arrive in Florida by sea, with at least 7,411 Cubans attempting to migrate over the Florida Straits in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 compared with 4,473 in the same time frame last year.

After Castro took power, Cubans fled the island to Miami, Tampa, New Jersey and elsewhere. Some were loyalists of Fulgencio Batista, the president before Castro, while others left with the hope they would be able to return soon, after Castro was toppled. He never was.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

ilies with children would pay higher taxes under his proposals. About 5.8 million are led by single parents. An additional 2.1 million are married couples.

Other analysts, including economists at the conservative Tax Foundation and right-of-center American Enterprise Institute, have agreed with Batchelder’s conclusions.

Here’s what her analysis finds: Right now, a single parent with $75,000 in income and two children can claim a head of household deduction of $9,300, plus three personal exemptions.

Those steps would reduce the household’s taxable income by $21,450, to $53,550.

Trump’s plan would more than double the standard deduction to $15,000.

But that change would be outweighed by his elimination of personal exemptions and head-of-household status. So the family’s taxable income would be $60,000, and its tax bill would be $2,440 more than it is now.

A married couple with four children and income of $50,000 would absorb a tax increase of $1,090 because of their loss of personal exemptions.

Trump’s advisers deny that he will raise taxes on middle-income Americans. Stephen Miller, his top policy ad-

viser, said Trump would provide taxfree child care savings accounts and other provisions to enable some families to reduce taxes.

But Batchelder’s analysis found that those provisions wouldn’t be enough to offset the plan’s other elements that would increase taxes for some middle income households.

More broadly, Miller said Trump would instruct Congress to avoid raising taxes on those families.

“We will cut taxes massively for the middle class and working class,” Miller said.

Kelly Rodriguez, 47, who lives in Tampa, Florida, voted for Trump and is a single mother who claims two of her four children as dependents. (Her ex-husband claims the other two.) She made roughly $90,000 last year, including alimony payments. Her taxes likely would rise under Trump’s plan, according to Batchelder’s analysis.

“I would want him to explain that to me,” she said. “Taxes have to make sense to the people paying them.”

Still, Trump’s plan will likely evolve during congressional negotiations before it becomes law.

“This is not anywhere close to a final plan,” Williams said.

Iraq’s parliament adopts law legalizing Shiite militias

By HAMZA HENDAWI and QASSIM ABDUL–ZAHRA The Associated Press

BAGHDAD – Rekindling sectarian rivalries at a sensitive time, Iraq’s parliament on Saturday voted to fully legalize state-sanctioned Shiite militias long accused of abuses against minority Sunnis, adopting a legislation that promoted them to a government force empowered to “deter” security and terror threats facing the country, such as the Islamic State group.

The legislation, supported by 208 of the chamber’s 327 members, was quickly rejected by Sunni Arab politicians and lawmakers as proof of the “dictatorship” of the country’s Shiite majority and evidence of its failure to honor promises of inclusion.

“The majority does not have the right to determine the fate of everyone else,” Osama al-Nujaifi, one of Iraq’s three vice presidents and a senior Sunni politician, told reporters after the vote, which was boycotted by many Sunni lawmakers.

“There should be genuine political inclusion. This law must be revised.”

“The legislation aborts nation building,” he said, adding it would pave the way for a dangerous parallel to the military and police.

A spokesman for one of the larger Shiite militias welcomed the legislation as a well-deserved victory. “Those who reject it are engaging in political

bargaining,” said Jaafar al-Husseini of the Hezbollah Brigades.

“It is not the Sunnis who reject the law, it is the Sunni politicians following foreign agendas,” Shiite lawmaker Mohammed Saadoun said.

The law, tabled by parliament’s largest Shiite bloc, applies to the Shiite militias fighting IS as well as the much smaller and weaker anti-IS Sunni Arab

groups. Militias set up by tiny minorities, such as Christians and Turkmen, to fight IS are also covered.

According to a text released by parliament, the militias have now become an “independent” force that is part of the armed forces and report to the prime minister, who is also the commander in chief.

The new force would be subject to military regulations, except for age and education requirements – provisions designed to prevent the exclusion of the elderly and uneducated Iraqis who joined the militias. The militiamen would benefit from salaries and pensions identical to those of the military and police, but are required to severe all links to political parties and refrain from political activism.

The legislation came at a critical stage in Iraq’s two-year fight against IS, a conflict underscored by heavy sectarian tensions given that the group follows an extremist interpretation of Sunni Islam and the security forces are predominantly Shiite. The Shiite-led government last month launched a massive campaign to dislodge IS from predominantly Sunni Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city and the last major urban center still held by the extremist group.

WASHINGTON – President-elect Donald Trump’s proposals would modestly cut income taxes for most middle-class Americans. But for nearly 8 million families – including a majority of single-parent households – the opposite would occur: They’d pay more.

Most married couples with three or more children would also pay higher taxes, an analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found. And while middle-class families as a whole would receive tax cuts of about 2 percent, they’d be dwarfed by the windfalls averaging 13.5 percent for America’s richest 1 percent.

Trump’s campaign rhetoric had promoted the benefits of his proposals for middle-income Americans.

“The largest tax reductions are for the middle class,” said Trump’s “Contract With the American Voter,” released last month.

The tax hikes that would hit single parents and large families would result from Trump’s plan to eliminate the personal exemption and the head-of-household filing status. These features of the tax code have enabled many Americans

to reduce their taxable income.

His other proposed tax changes would benefit middle- and lower-income Americans. But they wouldn’t be enough to offset those modifications.

“If you’re a low- or moderate-income single parent, you’re going to get hurt,” said Bob Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center.

Unlike Trump’s polarizing proposals on immigration and trade, his tax plan is in line with traditional Republican policy.

His steep tax cuts in many ways resemble those carried out by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, and the Republican-run Congress is expected to welcome them.

During the campaign, Trump said his tax cuts – for individuals and companies – would energize the economy by boosting business investment in factories and equipment, while leaving consumers with more cash to spend.

His proposals, he contended, would help create 25 million jobs over the next decade.

But Lily Batchelder, a visiting fellow at the Tax Policy Center and former deputy director of President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council, estimates that roughly 7.9 million fam-

VIEWS Austin Berg Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel thought he knew what was best for city visitors and homeowners when he signed a 58-page ordinance severely limiting home-sharing in June.

The hotel industry shelled out thousands of dollars to city officials to secure their support for the measure.

The ordinance slaps a new tax on homeowners who home-share, forces a new limit on the number of units per building where hosts can rent through home-sharing services, and sets a new mandate dictating that hosts keep records on guests.

Those are just the parts that are understandable. Many aspects of the ordinance are so vague or dense that no average homeowner could grasp the meaning without a lawyer. Even then, a lawyer could only guess.

The new regulations pose a serious problem for Chicagoans such as Alonso Zaragoza. The 37-year-old Windy City librarian purchased his first piece of property in April, a three-flat

Why Donald Trump was the wrong choice

Dear Editor: The Americans who voted for Trump and put their hope in him for better times should stand cautioned.

They are delusional. Trump’s lies and contradictions puffed by empty promises and hot air; his attitudes defied common decency. He defies common sense.

Trouble is, his supporters are too much in denial, too blinded by wishful thinking to realize the hurt, suffering and misery they’ve unleashed.

The irony of this catastrophe will unfold during the next four years.

We all, those who brought it on and those who opposed him, will feel the pain, endure it, watch it happen, but hopefully we’ll fight for our rights and oppose it at its every infraction against our communal well-being.

Let’s hope we Americans can join together, learn from experience, and demand the Common Good be served: living wages; health care; education; social and racial justice; equitable distribution of wealth; a sound, viable infrastructure; incorruptible government; fair taxes; a free press; and especially an unsullied presidency. No oligarchy, no war profiteers.

This is to be longed for, prayed for, hoped for, demanded.

on Chicago’s southwest side. Zaragoza wants to rent out the first-floor apartment on Airbnb.

Why? To help pay for a spike in his property-tax bill.

Emanuel’s record-breaking property-tax hike is costing Zaragoza an additional $250 a month. But since Zaragoza doesn’t live in the building he owns, he won’t be able to rent out the room under the new ordinance.

“If [the city] doesn’t give us the legal option to do things the right way, people are going to try to find other ways to survive,” Zaragoza said.

He stressed the value of bringing tourists to the whole city, not just its commercial core, as well as the flexibility and affordability of home-sharing services.

“There are a lot of hotels but they are not affordable,” he said. “And they’re all downtown. When you’re traveling, it’s nice to be able to see the city as it is. Downtown is not the city.

It’s just downtown.”

Zaragoza is one of a few homeowners fighting the city for the right to rent. The Liberty Justice Center, or LJC, and the Goldwater Institute are helping Zaragoza and others sue the city to strike down the ordinance. The

LJC is the litigation partner of the Illinois Policy Institute. Goldwater is an Arizona-based nonprofit that focuses on protecting constitutional rights.

The home-sharing crackdown in Chicago might not seem like a problem for the rest of the state. But history indicates Chicago is a testing ground for statewide stupidity when it comes to innovative new services.

A bill pushed by the Chicago taxi lobby nearly killed ride-sharing apps such as Uber and Lyft statewide in 2014.

Illinois lawmakers should ensure local bureaucrats quit meddling with basic property rights. They can take a page from Arizona. State politicians there passed a law in May that stops local governments from banning short-term rentals.

Just another reason Illinoisans should look south for the winter.

A holiday in the hospital can deaden one’s soul.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a patient or a visitor. It doesn’t matter how kind and caring the nurses are. The fluorescent lights, the dry air, the hushed conversations and the specter of suffering are oppressive.

That’s how it felt to be with my grandfather in a Springfield hospital for a weekend earlier this year. As he drifted to sleep, I realized I should probably find a place to do the same.

The thought of staying in a similarly sterile hotel made me nauseated.

So I pulled out my phone.

The Airbnb app helped me find a cheap room in a house nearby. I was greeted by a woman who told me of her own struggles with sick family members. She reassured me that things would be OK and then made me some tea.

The next morning I woke up ready to be a good grandson.

Home-sharing services such as Airbnb can be a great way for consumers to find boarding on short notice and for homeowners to make extra money. But like so much else in Illinois, government is getting in the way.

Talking oil tax hike, Roth IRA loopholes Dear Mr. Berko: Please answer the following two questions for me. A co-worker believes that Congress wants to add a $10 tax on each barrel of oil used in the U.S. to pay for infrastructure improvement. How much would that add to the price at the pump? In the same discussion, he said Congress will be changing the Roth IRA rules. Why would Congress do that? – MP, Rochester, Minnesota Dear MP: It’s all true, according to retired CPA Helen Highwater from Kokomo!

In June, some members of Congress floated a proposal for a $10 tax on every barrel of oil. This tax would fund needed infrastructure upgrades.

And I’m told there’s a few billion dollars for Elon Musk’s Hyperloop train system. The Hyperloop, according to Musk, will zoom you from L.A. to New York City in 45 minutes. That’s about 4,000 miles per hour! So for every barrel from overseas or pumped from U.S. soil, Congress wants a $10 tax. Washington calls this a tax on big oil, not a tax on a barrel of oil. Disingenuous?

If Congress passes this legislation, I’ll give you my FBI guarantee that neither a pence nor a farthing of that

Joliet work receives NAIOP awards The HERALD–NEWS CenterPoint Properties is the recipient of the Developer of the Year and Industrial Buildto-Suit Development of the Year Awards from NAIOP Chicago for its work in Joliet, according to a CenterPoint news release.

CenterPoint, which is based in Oak Brook, is a second-time recipient of the Developer of the Year Award, after getting it in 2011.

“We are extremely honored to receive two awards at this year’s NAIOP Chicago Awards for Excellence,” CenterPoint CEO Bob Chapman said in the news release. “Our membership with NAIOP is very valuable to us, as it is a leading organization for education in industrial real estate. We are excited and appreciative that those within the association have awarded our diligence as a developer.”

NAIOP’s Annual Awards for Excellence recognize the industry’s best in transaction and development.

The Developer of the Year Award goes to the developer that best exemplifies leadership and innovation in the industrial real estate market each year. CenterPoint’s large buildto-suit and speculative developments underway at CenterPoint Intermodal Center-Joliet have earned the company the 2016 honor.

CenterPoint received the award for Industrial Build-toSuit Development of the Year with its 1.4 million-square-foot dedicated food-grade distribution facility project within CIC-Joliet. The build-to-suit property features 38-foot clear height, ample car and trailer parking, 8-inch floor slab, LED lighting and temperature-controlled space. The expected LEED Gold-certified building also has the potential to be redeveloped into a traditional crossdock facility.

Previously, CenterPoint received the Industrial Speculative Development of the Year Award in 2015 for its ULINE/

ALLIANCE facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.

The awards were announced Nov. 17 at the 29th Annual NAIOP Chicago Awards for Excellence, which took place at Navy Pier in Chicago. For more details on the awards and a full list of winners, visit www.naiopchicago.org/ awards/2016-winners.

CenterPoint Properties is focused on the development, acquisition and management of industrial property and transportation infrastructure that enhances business and government supply chain efficiency.

And 18 months later, if the company went public at $20 a share, the account’s value would zoom to $2 million, tax-free. That’s cool beans!

This type of dealing allows people of privilege to circumvent tax and income limits that normally apply.

The Obama administration realizes that it’s losing important tax revenues. And because the Government Accountability Office found over 9,000 taxpayers with $5 million to $10 million in their IRAs, Congress may decide that enough is enough and try to prohibit certain contributions to Roth IRAs. I know two investors who used this loophole. One pocketed $11 million, and the other collected $6.6 million, tax-free. This loophole, a sop from the congressional swamp for the privileged, may be closed in 2018.

CLASS 7A IHSA TITLE: EAST ST. LOUIS 26, PLAINFIELD NORTH 13

SETTLING FOR SECOND

By TIM CRONIN

Plainfield North falls to East St. Louis in 7A final

Shaw Media correspondent CHAMPAIGN – East St. Louis simply was too much for Plainfield North on Saturday.

The Flyers likely would have been too much for anybody in the Illinois high school ranks.

They scored a 26-13 victory over the Tigers to complete an unbeaten season with their 14th straight success and capture the Class 7A championship at Memorial Stadium, impressing several thousand witnesses in the process.

One of them was Plainfield North coach Tim Kane, whose team’s valiant fourth-quarter rally fell short.

“There were too many big plays we let up on defense,” Kane said. “They have a lot of weapons and some very good football players. And with (two) turnovers, we didn’t help ourselves.

But we kept battling through the second half.”

The Tigers (11-3) trailed 26-0 before quarterback Brady Miller scooted 53 yards down the left sideline for a score on the first play of the fourth quarter that both brought them within 19 points of their foes and kept their hopes alive.

“The TD run was a great call by our coaches,” said Miller, the beneficiary of a big block by Ryan Krystofiak along the way.

After North stopped the Flyers twice, Miller engineered an eight-play drive that climaxed with his 23-yard pass to Connor Peplow, pulling North within 26-13 with 2:58 remaining.

“It was hard to make moves against them,” Peplow said of his battles with the Flyers’ cornerbacks. “They were with me half the time.”

The score was one of seven receptions for 95 yards by Peplow, but it came too late to counter the Flyers’ attack of the first three quarters, in which quarterback Reyondus Estes threw touchdown passes on three of their first seven drives, with the Flyers picking off Miller for a fourth score, an 85-yard interception by cornerback Eric Owens that made it 26-0.

“I felt I didn’t have a good game last week,” said Estes, 5-of-7 for 120 yards.

“Today I put my heart on the field.”

He had company. Jeff Thomas hauled in two of the touchdown passes, James Knight the other, while Jarrell Anderson ran 23 times for 86 yards. And East St. Louis’ defense held the Tigers to 33 yards rushing and 108 yards overall through three quarters. Tyler Hoosman finished with 17 carries for 67 yards, 42

of them through three quarters.

“Coach Kane, he coached a great group of kids that made us play four quarters,” Flyers coach Darren Sunkett said. “We thought we’d closed ’em out, but we made some mistakes in the second quarter.”

The Flyers scored on their second and third possessions, each time getting the ball near midfield and Estes taking advantage by connecting on a touchdown pass.

Estes hit Knight on a fourth-and-3

from the Tigers’ 7 for the Flyers’ first score, capping an 11-play drive with 2:55 left in the first quarter. After North went three-and-out, the crafty senior found Jeff Thomas on a 43-yard post pattern – Thomas distancing himself from cornerback Anthony Fumagalli by five yards – for a 12-0 lead with 1:12 left in the first.

Fumagalli picked off Estes midway through the second quarter, but, as on the Tigers’ other four drives of the opening half, their offense went no-

where. East St. Louis, the quickest defense the Tigers played this season, was a half-step closer to the ball carrier, and held North to five yards rushing on 12 carries in the opening half. Miller was able to complete only three of his nine first-half passes for 32 yards.

“They’re super-athletic, so it was tough to get to the outside,” said Miller, 12-of-24 for 130 yards, often harried and sacked twice. “They brought the house a lot, so I had to get rid of the ball quick.

They were jumping a lot of the routes. I knew I had to get rid of the ball quick, but they were just really fast.”

North had won eight in a row and 10 of 11, including the controversial victory over Fenwick that centered on an end-of-game error by the officials. But it took advantage as well as it could to make the title game a stepping-stone to next year.

“Hopefully this allows the kids to think anything’s possible,” Kane said.

“We’d never won playoff games. Now we’ve won playoff games. This is a legacy these (seniors) leave us. And now, we don’t want to just qualify for the playoffs. Let’s go deep in the playoffs.”

They can only go one result deeper.

FOOTBALL: CLASS 7A STATE FINAL

VIEWS Dick Goss

• Sunday, November 27, 2016

CHAMPAIGN – Local football fans knew Plainfield North belonged in Saturday’s Class 7A state championship football game against East St. Louis.

After North’s 26-13 loss to the Flyers, the rest of the state now understands the same.

Make no mistake, East St. Louis, which finished 14-0 and ranked No. 1 in 7A, is that good.

The Flyers made the big plays against North (11-0) that put them in control of Saturday’s game virtually from the start.

And yet, North’s outstanding defense continued to stifle East St. Louis’ vaunted offensive attack.

Meanwhile, the Tigers’ offense did what it could against a dominating defense that spent much of the evening in North’s backfield.

“That’s something I love about this team,” Tigers inside linebacker JJ Frey said. “We always find a way to bring energy back to our side even if we get down. That’s how we have been all year.

“The way we played defensively tonight is a credit to our defensive line. We rotate in a lot of guys, so they’re always fresh. They allow my buddy, [linebacker] Will Stoll, and me to scrape across and make plays.”

The Tigers start ends Tim Donnahue and Shane McGrail and tackles Ari Ekowa and Leo Santos up front, and Frey said end D.J. Donofrio and tackles Shawn Bruns and Tyshawn Taylor made big plays as well.

Frey totaled a team-high seven tackles, thanks largely to the guys up front. Donnahue, meanwhile, had two sacks. In the secondary, Anthony Fumagalli intercepted a pass and Kevin Block broke one up.

“It was tough on us to always know where the ball was,” Ekowa said of the challenge of East St. Louis. “Their offensive linemen are taller than me. But I think we found the ball pretty well and had a decent game.”

On the other side of the ball, the Tigers ran into other issues.

By all pregame accounts, East St. Louis wide receiver Jeff Thomas is all-world, certainly something above all-state.

He caught touchdown passes of 43 and 61 yards from Rey Estes and had

Plainfield North quarterback Brady Miller runs 60 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter as East St. Louis defender Markevion Darough pursues the play in the Class 7A state football final on Saturday. a potential 72-yard flanker screen for a touchdown called back because of a block in the back.

Take away the 104 yards on the two long strikes to Thomas and East St. Louis finished with nine first downs and 137 total offensive yards.

Any doubts about North’s defensive prowess were erased.

The Flyers, who led, 12-0, at halftime, also scored on Eric Owens’ 85-yard interception return in the third quarter, which upped their lead to 26-0.

They all count, of course.

But consider that East St. Louis’ offense could drive for a touchdown only once – that was early – while North scored twice as quarterback Brady Miller made big plays with his legs and arm.

However, the Tigers missed out on a couple of scoring threats.

“This was the kind of opponent where we couldn’t afford to miss any opportunities, and we did miss a couple,” North coach Tim Kane said.

“We had chances and either turned it over on downs or had interceptions.”

North also was hindered by negative plays, which totaled 38 yards in losses.

“East St. Louis is really quick on defense, their backs and their guys up front,” said Tigers standout running back Tyler Hoosman, who netted 67 yards on 17 carries.

“They’re always blitzing. It was hard to get a scheme going against them.

Their defensive players are really quick and physical.”

Yet, despite the difficulties caused by their opponent, the Tigers walked away with their heads held high.

The kind of effort the Tigers exhibited Saturday was exactly what they have provided week after week since midway through the regular season.

Their eight-game winning streak ended only because they ran into an opponent whom some rank as Illinois’ best regardless of class.

“We had some adversity this

week,” Kane said, referring to the court ruling that came down Wednesday morning and said North indeed belonged in the title game, not Fenwick. “Then we ran into a dynamic player in 4 (Thomas), and they had other guys making plays. Their quarterback (Estes) made some big plays, too.

“But you look at the seeds going into the tournament, who we played and how we played against them, and it’s been a special season.”

The Tigers did not allow the controversy with Fenwick to deter their preparation for East St. Louis. They showed up Saturday and played a very good football game.

They lost to the best. But they were not embarrassed by any stretch.

Following them all the way to this title game has been quite an experience.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

North’s Peplow sad to see career end

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Plainfield North senior Connor Peplow is a standout baseball player.

He will be a key member of Plainfield North coach John Darlington’s powerhouse in the spring – both in the outfield and on the mound – and he will continue his career on the diamond at Illinois State.

But for a baseball player, he makes a pretty fair football player.

In Saturday’s 26-13 loss to East St. Louis in the Class 7A state championship game at Memorial Stadium on the University of Illinois campus, Peplow caught seven passes for 95 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown reception, against the fastest, hardest-hitting secondary he faced all season.

“You remember when I ran that jet sweep [for a 1-yard loss]?” said Peplow, who also is North’s place-kicker.

“Boy, did they hit me. I could barely get open against their corners, and when I was able to catch ball, they hit hard.

“Honestly, that’s the best defense we have played.”

But despite the loss in the title game, Peplow and his teammates walked away with heads held high.

“It is kind of sad that this is the last time I’ll play football,” he said.

“But what we accomplished this whole season, the first time winning a playoff game, the way our seniors and juniors came together, I just have great memories of the coaches and my teammates.

“Looking back at our season, maybe the Oswego and Oswego East games [the Tigers’ two regular-season losses], we’d like to have back, but this one today – we played pretty well.”

East St. Louis prepared: East St. Louis coach Darren Sunkett said after the 7A game his team would have been prepared to play Fenwick had the

Plainfield North’s Connor Peplow grabs a Brady Miller pass for an 18-yard gain in front of East St. Louis’ Malcolm Bell in the third quarter in the Class 7A state football final Saturday. Plainfield North lost, 26-13.

Catholic League school won its lawsuit against the IHSA regarding the outcome of the semifinal battle with Plainfield South.

“If we had to shift gears, that’s what we would have done,” Sunkett said. “We prepared for Plainfield North. But we got a call from the [IHSA] midweek telling us we might have to shift gears.”

When judge Kathleen Kennedy ruled for the IHSA, allowing Plainfield North to play, it was full speed ahead for the Flyers.

Delayed start: The 7A title game did not begin until 5:06 p.m. It was scheduled for a 4 p.m. start, but the length of Peoria’s 62-48 victory over Vernon

Hills in 5A and Prairie Ridge’s 48-17 triumph over Sacred Heart-Heart Griffin pushed back the start of the day’s final two games significantly.

JCA record falls: Before Saturday, Joliet Catholic had the record for most points scored in a championship game loss. The Hilltoppers fell to Montini, 70-45, in the 2011 Class 5A finale. Vernon Hills’ 48 points in Saturday’s loss to Peoria set a new standard.

Heard in the press box: “When in doubt, bet the over in 5A.” All-state selections: The Joliet area had seven selections on the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association All-State Team that was cited in

the state finals program. Lincoln-Way East defensive end Devin O’Rourke is on the 8A team. Plainfield North defensive tackle Ari Ekowa and linebacker Trey Telez represent the Joliet area in 7A. Lemont linebacker Frank Letizia is on the 6A team. Morris is represented in 5A by running back/defensive back Michael Feeney and linebacker/running back Keagan Sobol.

Wilmington’s Owen Weaver was named in 3A. Official front: Mark Cheshareck of Morris was on the officiating crew, working as the umpire, in the 7A title game. Steven Hammerstein of Mokena was the line judge in the 6A game.

Minooka’s Adrian Paige (34) is mob by his teammates after hitting the buzzer-beating 3-point shot to win the game over Joliet Central at the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic championship game Saturday at the University of St. Francis Sullivan Center.

Minooka’s Jonny Butler (3) drives to the basket around Joliet Central’s Jose Grubbs (35) during the game. Butler was named tournament MVP. that hard work, dedication and commitment can go a long way.

“We played this whole tournament for coach Mark Smith, who passed away a couple of weeks ago. He represented Minooka High School to a tee.

A lot of area teams understand that Minooka basketball is about tough, hardnosed work and we did a great job in these four games of playing that way for coach Smith. We wanted to go out there and honor him. And for a shot

like that to go in at the end has to be coach Smith looking down.”

Fueling Central’s second-half comeback was Grubbs, who scored eight of his 10 points in the last two quarters, including a layup with 5:49 left to give his team a 37-34 lead. Cameron Blackmon (11 points) also hit two three-pointers in the final half. The Steelmen also got five points apiece from Jomarre McNair and Ryan King.

“It was an outstanding job by coach

Tanaka and his players, who executed to the best of their ability,” Steelmen coach Lawrence Thompson Jr. said.

“They force you to execute your offense each time down court, and we didn’t do that in the first half. In the second half we did a better job of moving them and when we attacked, we were willing to share the basketball.

“Defensively our kids always bring a great effort, but you have to credit Minooka for their kid being in the right place at the right time and having the ability to knock down that shot. I have no problem with our kids’ effort and their execution will only get better as I get better. We have to do more than just rely on our quickness and athletic ability on the offensive end.”

In the first half, Minooka got four 3-pointers from Kyle Graebner, who added another for a game-high 15 points. Butler also added seven points, including a rebound bucket that started the closing burst which was capped by one of Graebner’s treys.

“It was a fun game with energy and a great environment,” Graebner said.

“This is what we’ve been working for at the start of the season. We stayed true to what we do and came out with the victory by playing hard. We didn’t draw that play up, it was an improvised play. We’re lucky that Adrian hit the big shot, but we knew that we can count on him. We’re really hoping that we can prove people wrong this year and go farther than we did last year.”

• Sunday, November 27, 2016

JOLIET – Adrian Paige took only two shots and made just one of them in Saturday’s title game of the 21st annual WJOL Thanksgiving Classic.

But while the Minooka junior didn’t anticipate being in a position to hit a game-winning basket, he proved to be the man on the spot as time wound down against Joliet Central.

With the Steelmen up 37-36 with five seconds left, Minooka took a timeout and worked on a play to get a jumper in the lane from Jonny Butler. But he was surrounded by defenders and Jose Grubbs got a hand on the attempt.

However, the deflection went right to Paige, who was positioned behind the 3-point arc. He tossed up an attempt that went in as the buzzer sounded to give the Indians a 39-37 victory at the University of St. Francis’ Sullivan Center.

As a result of the last-second drama, Minooka (4-0) won its initial WJOL title while Central (3-1) saw its run of three-straight championships halted in heartbreaking fashion.

“It was a crazy play,” Paige said.

“The play was originally supposed to go to Jonny and the ball got swatted right into my hands for the three. I was at the right place at the right time. When I saw it go in, it felt amazing. It was an unreal experience to hit my first game-winner.

“A lot of people feel like we’re not going to be good, but we want to prove that we’re a force this season. I like the way that we all come together. We have a great group of guys and we don’t care who touches the ball. We play great defense and everyone loves each other.”

It definitely could have been a disappointing afternoon for the Indians, who used a 7-0 run to take a 24-16 halftime lead and increased that to a 10-point advantage when Antonio Milazzo hit two free throws 37 seconds into the third quarter.

But the Steelmen forced nine turnovers in that quarter to pull even at 32 and caused Minooka to have 14 turnovers in the final half, eight more than it had in the first two periods.

Minooka led 34-32 with 6:36 left on a layup by tournament MVP Butler (nine points, six rebounds) but didn’t lead again until Paige made his late 3-pointer.

“We’re a young basketball team and wondered what our expectations would be coming into this tournament,” Indians coach Scott Tanaka said. “We just wanted to get better and grow as a basketball team. A lot of people maybe thought that we were going to be down this year, but we’re not bad. We proved

40 TIGER THANKSGIVING CLASSIC: JOLIET WEST 62, BROTHER RICE 49

West beats Brother Rice to win own tournament

By JEFF DEGRAW

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – Joliet West used a 12-3 run to start the second quarter in the championship game of its own Tiger Thanksgiving Classic boys basketball tournament and cruised to a 62-49 win over Brother Rice on Saturday.

It was the second consecutive Thanksgiving tournament title for the Tigers.

“That was more like it,” West coach Nick DiForti said.

Trailing 11-10 after the first quarter, West (4-0) came out on fire on both ends of the floor. It limited the Crusaders (31) to only two field goals and Trevian Bell had 10 points and Eddie Creal added six during their run.

The Tigers took a 26-15 halftime lead and held the hot-shooting Crusaders to a 6-of-29 shooting performance in the

“Friday night against Lincoln-Way Central was a wake-up call for us.”

Trevian Bell

Joliet West player and tournament MVP first half.

The onslaught continued in the third quarter as West outscored Rice 22-9 and held it to only two field goals in 10 attempts for the quarter.

Teyvion Kirk, who led the Tigers with 17 points and was selected to the All-Tournament team, scored nine points in the quarter, with two of those coming on a monstrous dunk that had the crowd buzzing long into the quarter.

With the Tigers in the lead 48-24

heading to the fourth, the Tigers bench saw plenty of action in the final frame.

Bell, who was named tournament MVP for the second consecutive year, scored 16 on the night for the Tigers.

“Friday night against Lincoln-Way Central was a wake-up call for us,” Bell said. “It was a humbling experience.

They played well, took it to us, but in the end I think it really helped us. We came out tonight with a chip on our shoulder.

“This is the third time around for most of us, we’ve been through a lot together and this is it; we want to make this season special. Winning the team title means more than any individual award, this is a team game. I play for this team and the city of Joliet.”

One of the biggest improvements for the Tigers this young season has been the play of inside man Tabyous Casterberry. The 6-foot-6 senior scored 12

points and had 12 rebounds.

“The biggest reason for the improvement this year was playing football,” Casterberry said. “Last year, I was soft.

Football showed me how to be more aggressive in an athletic way and bring that to basketball. I’m just trying to make us a better team.”

Creal, a junior, also had 12 points for the Tigers.

“Today, we came out and played relaxed,” DiForti said. “This team began the season with a lot of pressure, from the media, from fans and just about everywhere. After Friday’s game, we were all a little frustrated, but they responded very well. I thought we played tonight as well as any time this season and it was good to see.

“We have two very tough games next week against Minooka and North Lawndale, but we also have five days of practice to get ready.”

JOLIET WEST 67, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 65

Tigers edge L-W Central

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – For the second time in three days, Joliet West’s boys basketball team found that when you’re ranked among the state’s top teams, opponents will bring their best against you.

Two days after edging Rich South, the Tigers overcame an even closer call against Lincoln-Way Central on Friday. The Knights led in the final minute before West made a shot at the buzzer to claim a 67-65 victory.

If Central (1-2) had won, the Tigers (3-0) would have played for fifth place. Instead, West met Brother Rice in Saturday’s championship while the Knights competed for fifth.

West tied things at 65-65 on a rebound basket by Elijah Ward (five points) with 27 seconds left. After the Knights missed a pair of free throws, the Tigers held for a last shot and got the game-winner when Teyvion Kirk (13 points) sent a nice pass in to Eddie Creal (eight points), who hit a layup at the buzzer.

That late score spoiled an impressive performance by Central’s Aaron Michalak, who scored 16 of his gamehigh 23 points in the second half. He hit three big buckets in the final quarter to give his team leads, including a layup with 46 seconds left to make it 65-63.

“They’re a well-coached team that’s very gritty,” Tigers coach Nick DiForti

said of Central. “Their guard (Michalak) handled the ball very well for them.

We knew what to expect, just like against Rich South. Our kids maintained their composure for most of the second half and squeaked out a win and we’re playing for a championship, so we’re happy about that.”

An unsung hero for the Tigers was Darien Bosby, who scored all 13 of his points in the final half. He hit four 3-pointers in that half while over that same span, Trevian Bell (16 points) was limited to two free throws and Kirk made one layup.

Central also got 11 points from Andrew Hancock, eight points from Chris Robinson, six points each from Bryan Ross and Dylan Post and five points from Joe DiNaso while Tabyous Casterberry added eight points for West.

“Every guy in our locker room before the game started thought we could win,” Knights coach Bob Curran said.

“That doesn’t come from me, it comes from them. So hopefully, that’s how they’ll approach every game. I told our guys, ‘jump shot beats us.’ but that’s not what happened. I’m proud of our kids and they played good and almost won that basketball game.”

Lincoln-Way East 64, Plainfield South 51: The Griffins (2-1) advanced to the third-place game behind Dorian Aluyi (23 points) and Max Shafer (10 Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media points). The Cougars were led by Joey Saracco (13 points) and Diamond Pres- Joliet West’s Eddie Creal (3) shoots over the arms of Lincoln-Way Central’s Aaron Michaniakovas (10 points). lak (22) for the winning basket Friday.

BOYS BOWLING: PLAINFIELD SOUTH THANKSGIVING TOURNAMENT

Derrick Rapsky

Minooka bowling coach “The one thing about today was that we missed too many single-pin spares.

We convert those and that might have been enough to win.

“But it’s still early in the season.

We are still in November. You want to build momentum as a team as the season progresses. If we are bowling at the top of our game right now, then I’m a little worried. Our five seniors, along with everyone else, are moving in the right direction.”

Senior Kai Devine led the Indians with a second-place overall effort. He

had a six-game total of 1,350 and high game of 237. Jon Studer placed 11th with a 1,270 total and 266 fifth game.

Romeoville senior Jacob Hubbs was the overall winner with a 1,370 and a high game of 258.

“It’s been awhile since I bowled here at Town & Country,” Hubbs said. “I really like this house and it was good to get back here. I knew it was close, especially going into the last game. I needed a big game, but in bowling the only thing you can control is what you do. I just had to bowl my game. I will admit, I did look at the scoreboards a little.

“Over the summer I put in a lot of work on my game. Today’s performance and the work I have done gives me confidence moving forward.”

Lockport was led by the seventh place of Andy Sims (1,298) and the 22nd of Caleb Derrig (1,217).

“We are still trying to figure out the varsity roster,” Lockport coach Ron Davis said. “We gave some kids the opportunity today and we have to find the best combination. We are inexperi-

enced after losing five key seniors from last year and most are still trying to find their way and know what it’s like to bowl at this level.”

Lincoln-Way West received a fifth place from junior Caleb Kirby (1,308) and a 24th from sophomore Mike Nork (1,213). Plainfield North received a 26th from Bryan Mulcahy (1,2030) and 28th from Robert Riley (1,181). Lincoln-Way East’s DJ Armbrecht finished third (1,334) and had 255 and 259 games.

Other area teams in the top 10 were Plainfield South seventh, Lincoln-Way East eighth and Plainfield Central ninth. Lincoln-Way Central was 11th, Joliet West 12th, Joliet Central 13th, Plainfield East 18th, Providence 19th, Lemont 21st and Romeoville 22nd.

Other individuals in the top 30 were Lincoln-Way East’s Colton Marks 14th, Lincoln-Way Central’s Jack Davern 16th and Trevor Amir 27th, Plainfield South’s Jawuan Burk 17th and Christian Knowlton 21st, Joliet West’s Michael Grether 25th and Lincoln-Way West’s Eric Ullian 30th.

BOYS BASKETBALL: WJOL THANKSGIVING CLASSIC

Defense sends Joliet Central, Minooka to title game

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Friday games in the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic at the University of St. Francis Sullivan Center are all about determining matchups for Saturday’s seventh-, fifth-, third- and firstplace games.

Joliet Central beat Lemont, 51-37, and Minooka downed Plainfield Central, 54-44, to arrange a rematch of the 2015 championship game. Both winners finished pool play 3-0.

In the other two games, Lockport (21) claimed its second straight overtime decision, 57-54 over Lincoln-Way West (1-2), to earn a shot at third place opposite Romeoville (2-1), a 64-27 winner over Providence. That left Plainfield Central and Providence in the seventh-place game and Lincoln-Way West and Lemont battling for fifth.

Joliet Central missed its first 11 shots, shot 22.6 percent in the first half and .298 overall, yet rallied to lead, 2317, at half before pulling away in the final 10 minutes against Lemont. That’s the effect of relentless pressure defense.

“Lemont is a well-coached, physical, aggressive team and they are missing Pipes [P.J., the standout guard who is out for undisclosed reasons],” Central coach Lawrence Thompson Jr. said.

“That hurts them a lot.

“I was glad our kids adjusted to going against their size. We settled for some 3s early and didn’t later. We didn’t turn the ball over much [seven, to the Indians’ 23]. We did a better job defending in the second half without fouling.”

Cameron Blackmon scored 14 points, Ryan Saunders 12 and Jason Bingham 11 for the Steelmen. Saunders entered in the third quarter and provided an offensive spark.

“We were debating who to have Saunders defend, the post or a wing,” Thompson said. “We know he is a confident offensive player.”

Thompson said Bingham’s pressure in the second half against Lemont’s point guard was a key. “I think Lemont’s guards got a little tired in the second half,” he said.

Jaxson Dian scored 15 points and Jerry Radomski grabbed nine rebound for Lemont, which shot .341 on 14 of 41. Saunders and Bingham had seven boards each for Central.

Minooka 54, Plainfield Central 44: You want to be a championship team, defense is a must.

“We pride ourselves on defense,” Minooka guard Antonio Milazzo said.

“Everyone does his job. It was an ugly game, but we came out on top because

of defense.”

Milazzo and fellow senior John Carnagio may not always light up the scoreboard, but they do what coach Scott Tanaka preaches. Against Plainfield Central, besides defending, they combined for 13 points, two missed shots, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals. Jonny Butler again led the Indians with 20 points, nine rebounds, two assists and two steals.

“We run our offense through J.B. [Butler] – inside out,” Milazzo said.

“I’m used to passing first,” Carnagio said when asked about swishing a 3-pointer from the key. “I look for J.B. down low, but if there’s room, I’ll be in trouble if I don’t shoot it.”

Plainfield Central (0-3), which showed well throughout pool play despite not winning, was down 48-33 with 3:47 left and cut it to 49-44 with 1:05 remaining. Matthews Morganfield scored 21 points and Kameron Williams 11 for the Wildcats, who shot .486 to Minooka’s .500 and committed 20 turnovers to the Indians’ 14.

Lockport 57, Lincoln-Way West 54 (OT):

Lockport’s offense snoozed in the third quarter as Lincoln-Way West erased a 34-27 halftime deficit. Once the Warriors caught up, though, it was game on through the rest of regulation and overtime.

Matt Smietanksi and Nolan Barthel (14 points) made key free throws in overtime for Lockport, which got 10 points from Chase Travis. Marco Pettinato, despite facing sticky defense from the Porters’ Patrick Cooper, scored 31 for West on 9 of 17 from the field and 11 of 11 free throws.

“I’ve known Marco since the summer of 2015 when we were at the same leadership thing,” Cooper said. “He worked me up pretty good then, and he was tough tonight, too. He’s a great player. But I just had to keep my head up.”

“They are tough,” Lockport coach Brett Hespell said of the Warriors.

“They’ll win lots of games. Pettinato will make plays; we just have to be better on the offensive end so the plays a player like that makes don’t hurt us as bad.”

Romeoville 64, Providence 27: After leading, 15-10, after one quarter and trailing, 21-20, at halftime, Providence (0-3) made 1 of 16 shots and committed 18 of its 27 turnovers in the second half as Romeoville’s pressure took control.

Dontia Johnson scored 12 points, DeAndre Heckard, Mike Salter and Aaron Stevenson nine apiece and Kahlil Blakney eight for the Spartans, who shot .542 on 26 of 48. Providence’s Jake Schutter had 13 points and eight rebounds.

• Sunday, November 27, 2016

JOLIET – Plainfield South played host to its annual Thanksgiving Holiday boys bowling tournament Friday at Town & Country Lanes.

“It’s nice to be able to host this tournament on a Friday during the Thanksgiving weekend,” Plainfield South coach Brian Zettergren said. “It give the teams a rare Saturday off during the season.”

Yorkville proved to be the best on this day, winning the 24-team affair.

The Foxes had a six-game total of 6,206 pins, with seven of the next eight places occupied by Joliet-area schools. Minooka finished second (6,097), followed

by Lockport (5,976), Lincoln-Way West (5,882) and Plainfield North (5,880).

Minooka was three-time defending tournament champion but coach Derrick Rapsky was not disappointed.

“I’m very happy with our performance today and we were trying to make it four in a row,” Rapsky said.

“The one thing about today was that we missed too many single-pin spares. We convert those and that might have been enough to win.”

42 OHIO STATE 30, MICHIGAN 27 (2OT)

With playoff spots at stake, Ohio St. beats Michigan

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Curtis Samuel swept in for a 15-yard touchdown after Ohio State barely converted a fourthand-1 and the second-ranked Buckeyes beat No. 3 Michigan, 30-27, in double overtime Saturday to win one of the greatest games in the history of one of college football’s greatest rivalries.

Facing fourth-and-1 from the 16, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer decided not to kick a potential game-tying field goal with a kicker who had already missed two short ones in regulation.

J.T. Barrett kept it on fourth down and slammed into the back of his blocker, A.J. Alexander, right at the line to gain. The first-down call stood up to video review.

“That was not a first down,” Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. “I’m bitterly disappointed with the officiating today.”

On the next play, Samuel, who had made a swerving, change-of-direction run to set up the fourth-and-1, found a lane and raced into the end zone to win it.

“Been a part of some crazy football games here,” Barrett said. “That one was No. 1.”

Ohio State players and fans celebrate their win over Michigan on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio State beat Michigan, 30-27, in double overtime.

Harbaugh drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty earlier in the game after an offside call on Michigan. He also was angry about a pass interference call on Michigan during Ohio State’s game-tying drive late and a noncall on a would-be pass interference against the Buckeyes in OT.

The scarlet-clad crowd covered the field after the game. The first matchup to go to overtime in the 113-game history of the rivalry likely eliminated Michigan from the playoff race and could have locked up a spot for the Buckeyes.

The Buckeyes will have to wait un-

til Penn State plays to find out if they will play for the Big Ten title. Still, they added to a résumé that already impressed the College Football Playoff selection committee.

Michigan could end up in the Rose Bowl, but the biggest prizes are still eluding the Wolverines in their second year under coach Jim Harbaugh, who dropped to 0-2 against Meyer and the Buckeyes. Michigan has not won the Big Ten since 2004.

But if this is just the start of a new Ten Year War for Michigan and Ohio State, with Meyer and Harbaugh playing the roles of Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler, there is much for to look forward to for college football fans.

Ohio State wiped out a 10-point third-quarter deficit and dominated the fourth quarter, but Tyler Durbin missed a 20-yard field goal to tie it with 7:01 remaining.

Barrett and the Buckeyes gave him another chance, this time from 23 yards with a second left in regulation and Durbin nailed it.

Barrett scored on a quarterback draw and Ohio State’s first possession of OT to give the Buckeyes the lead, but Michigan tied it on a 5-yard touchdown pass on fourth down from Wilton Speight to Amara Darboh.

USC 45, NOTRE DAME 27

Jackson does it all in No. 12 USC’s rout of Notre Dame

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – By the time Adoree’ Jackson effortlessly hurdled Notre Dame’s kicker and sprinted off to strike a Heisman pose in the end zone, every rain-soaked soul already knew they were seeing the culmination of something special for Southern California.

Jackson might have punctuated his three-year career at the Coliseum with one last virtuoso display of his talent, although he hasn’t decided yet.

The Trojans unquestionably wrapped up their regular season by with a fitting climax to a two-month crescendo.

Jackson returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns and caught a scoring pass to propel No. 12 USC to its eighth consecutive victory, 45-27 over Notre Dame on Saturday in the 88th edition of their famed intersectional rivalry.

Sam Darnold passed for 205 yards and two TDs, and Ronald Jones II rushed for 134 yards and an early score

as USC (9-3, No. 12 CFP) claimed the Jeweled Shillelagh for the 11th time in 15 years. Ajene Harris also returned an interception 33 yards for a score shortly before halftime.

But if Jackson, the Trojans’ do-everything cornerback, heads to the NFL next season, he left LA with one of the most memorable performances in this rivalry game’s history.

USC fans chanted “One more year!” throughout the second half at the smiling junior, who has scored five touchdowns against Notre Dame in his career. He returned a punt 55 yards for a score before turning a short pass into a 52-yard TD and then taking a kickoff 97 yards for his third score, leaping over John Chereson along the way.

“The returns and reception were just great blocks by everybody,” Jackson said. “They made it look easier than it was. I knew something special would happen when I trust them. They set things up, and it makes a highlight play.”

With an unbeaten run through October and November, USC completed a perfect home schedule and remained

If Utah beats Colorado later Saturday, the Trojans will face Washington in the conference title game next week.

USC fans repeatedly chanted “Let’s go,

Utah!” starting in the first half.

“What an accomplishment by a group of kids that have been through some adversity and come out the other side of it,” USC coach Clay Helton said.

44 BIG TEN ROUNDUP

Northwestern runs over Illinois behind Jackson, Moten

By JOHN JACKSON

The Associated Press EVANSTON – Justin Jackson ran his way into the Northwestern record books in just three seasons and could finish his career as the school’s alltime leading rusher.

Still, he is content right now to share the running back position with emerging newcomer John Moten.

Jackson rushed for 173 yards and three touchdowns, Moten added 128 yards and two touchdowns and Northwestern became bowl eligible with a 42-21 victory over Illinois on Saturday.

“It’s cool,” Jackson said. “I think John’s come a long way. He’s obviously shown the player he can be. It’s pretty exciting.”

Clayton Thorson completed 13 of 20 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown as the Wildcats improved to 6-6 and 5-4 in the Big Ten. “I’m excited that I get one more opportunity to be with them on the field in a game,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said.

Wes Lunt completed 28 of 54 passes for 377 yards and two touchdowns (with one interception) for Illinois (3-9, 2-7), which closed out its first season

under coach Lovie Smith with three straight losses.

After trailing 21-0, Illinois rallied for two touchdowns to pull within 21-14 at halftime and appeared headed for a game-tying score on its first possession of the second half when things fell apart.

Leading 35-21 early in the fourth quarter, Northwestern put the game away on a 4-yard TD run by Jackson.

The score was set up by a 66-yard interception return by Montre Hartage to the 5.

Iowa 40, Nebraska 10: In Iowa City, with a possible trip to the Big Ten championship game at stake, Nebraska fell flat.

C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes and the Hawkeyes pummeled No. 17 Nebraska 40-10 on Friday, knocking the Cornhuskers out of Big Ten title contention and sending Wisconsin to the championship game.

Tommy Armstrong started for Nebraska (9-3, 6-3 Big Ten) despite a balky hamstring and was just 13 of 35 passing for 125 yards.

Backup Ryker Fyfe, who broke his non-throwing wrist last week, didn’t take a snap until the game had long been decided.

Indiana 26, Purdue 24: In Bloomington, Ind., Coach Kevin Wilson tried to temper Indiana’s postgame party.

Everybody else in Bloomington wanted to celebrate the Hoosiers’ milestone win.

After enduring a series of coaching changes along with progressions and regressions over the past 25 years, the Hoosiers finally took a big step forward Saturday with a 26-24 come-frombehind victory over Purdue to claim their fourth consecutive Old Oaken Bucket and their second straight bowl trip.

To Wilson, the feats were only part of what made this one special.

Indiana (6-6, 4-5) tied the school record for most consecutive wins (four) in a series that dates to 1891. The only other time it happened was from 194447.

Penn State 45, Michigan State 12: In State College, Pa., Trace McSorley completed 17 of 23 passes for 376 yards and four touchdowns and No. 8 Penn State beat Michigan State 45-12 to win the Big Ten East on Saturday.

Penn State (10-2, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) edged No. 2 Ohio State for the East title, setting up a conference championship game against West winner Wis-

consin next week in Indianapolis.

The Nittany Lions beat the Buckeyes 24-20 at home Oct. 22.

McSorley set single-season school record for total offense and sparked the Nittany Lions with multiple deep passes in the second half when Penn State outscored Michigan State 35-0.

Wisconsin 31, Minnesota 17: In Madison, Wis., Corey Clement ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, a big-play defense pitched a second-half shutout, and No. 5 Wisconsin beat Minnesota 31-17 on Saturday for its 13th straight win in the annual border rivalry.

The Badgers triumphantly lifted Paul Bunyan’s Axe again, the trophy that goes to the victor in the mostplayed rivalry in major college football.

Wisconsin (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten, No. 6 CFP) turned in a stalwart defensive effort in the second half after getting outplayed in the first and falling behind by 10 points at halftime.

Wisconsin has wrapped up the Big Ten West and a trip to next week’s league title game after Nebraska lost to Iowa on Friday night.

On offense, Wisconsin’s running game finally caught up in the fourth quarter.

Medicare prescription drug programs SPONSORED BY

Are you a senior with Medicare? If so, did you know that you qualify for the Medicare prescription drug coverage program?

You can add a Medicare prescription drug plan (Medicare Part D) or pursue a Medicare Advantage plan (Medicare Part C), which offers Medicare prescription drug coverage as well. These plans subsidize the cost of prescription drugs and prescription drug insurance premiums for Medicare recipients.

Consider a senior citizen who ultimately decides against joining a Medicare prescription drug plan (Part D) when he or she first becomes eligible to do so, or they decide against joining a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) (like an HMO or PPO) or other Medicare health plan that offers prescription drug coverage. Because they’ve chosen against the coverage, they will likely have to pay a late

enrollment penalty unless they have other creditable prescription drug coverage or meet certain income and resource limits.

If you finally choose to go the Part D route then you’re simply adding prescription drug coverage to your original Medicare or some other Medicare plan, such as cost, private-fee-for-service and medical savings account.

On the other hand, if you elect Part C, which would be an HMO, PPO or other Medicare health plan that offers Medicare prescription drug coverage, you’ll receive all of your Part A (hospital insurance), Part B (medical insurance) along with you prescription drug coverage. Please understand that you’re required to have Medicare Part A and Part B in order to successfully join a Medicare Advantage plan and that you should search for a plan that best serves your health and financial needs.

Once you’ve made these decisions, you can dial 1-800-MEDICARE or the plan itself, fill out a handwritten enrollment form or use the Internet to enroll on the plan’s website.

TITANS AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, CBS, AM-780, 105.9-FM

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Mariota possesses only one obvious wart. He has 17 fumbles in 21 NFL games, including seven this year (the Titans have lost four), and when he throws an interception, it most often is costly.

He’s had five turnovers this season returned for touchdowns, two more than any other quarterback (Andrew Luck and Case Keenum each has three), and they have been the losing margin in the three games they’ve occurred in against the Vikings, Colts and Chargers.

Mariota’s been sacked 18 times, and most of his big mistakes have come as a result of pressure.

The Bears are 12th in the league in quarterback sack percentage, but are tied with Indianapolis for the second-fewest takeaways with eight, just one more than the Jaguars, who are dead last.

The No. 1 key to a Bears victory Sunday is to have their best pass rush

of the season and create a few takeaways.

Second has to be finding a way to slow DeMarco Murray, who is second in the NFL with 1,000 rushing yards and eight TDs, in addition to 40 catches for three more scores.

His renaissance is mainly because of the outstanding play of rookie right tackle Jack Conklin, who would be a solid Rookie of the Year candidate in another season that didn’t feature Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, and second-year left tackle Taylor Lewan.

The downside on offense for the Titans is they are extremely pedestrian at receiver, relying mainly on tight end Delanie Walker – who can be a matchup nightmare for smaller defensive backs – and Rishard Matthews, Tajae Sharpe and Kendall Wright.

None requires special treatment or double coverage, so the Bears likely will put an extra man in the box to help rookie linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, who will try to fill the shoes of their best run defender, the suspended Jerrell Freeman.

On defense, Tennessee is only 19th in total yards, 23rd in points allowed and 24th against the pass, but the Ti-

tans are eighth rushing the passer and a seventh against the run, and therein lies the rub.

QB Matt Barkley is unlikely to come out and torch the Titans through the air, especially without WRs Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White and TE Zach Miller to throw to, and the Bears are only 18th protecting the quarterback.

The third key to victory for the Bears is somehow they have to have RBs Jordan Howard and Jeremy Langford and the offensive line take over this game.

The Titans the Bears must identify to make that happen are DL Jurrell Casey, who might be the most underrated defender in the league, ILB Wesley Woodyard, CB Jason McCourty and pass rush specialists Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan.

Stop the run, run the ball well themselves and force Mariota into a game-changing mistake.

It’s a long shot, but stranger things have happened.

Anyone believing the Bears need not bother showing up to take on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday needs to think twice.

Sure, the Bears are 4½-point underdogs at home to the Titans, and the smart money is on Tennessee, but it was just four weeks ago that the Vikings came to town in another game the Bears had “no chance” in, and you know what happened there.

No, Jay Cutler won’t be riding in off the injury list to the rescue this Marcus time, but did Tampa Mariota have a chance going to Kansas City last week?

The Titans are a better team than anyone expected them to be at this point in the season, but they still are just 5-6.

A great deal of the Titans’ improvement is consistent with the growth of Marcus Mariota at quarterback. He will come to town with a 100.4 passer rating, 64.2 completion percentage, 23 touchdowns against only eight interceptions and averaging 252 passing yards a game.

‘HE’S NOT ALONE IN THIS’ Joliet firefighters surround Shawn Carroll in his fight against liposarcoma

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

JOLIET – “We had absolutely no clue.”

So said Krissi Carroll of Joliet, wife of Shawn Carroll, a 16-year lieutenant paramedic with the Joliet Fire Department, when a routine chest X-ray showed Shawn’s cancer had returned.

In 2012, Shawn was diagnosed with liposarcoma, a rare cancer of fat tissue, but he went in remission three and a half years ago and continued to receive regular checkups.

In fact, six months ago, Shawn had a “perfectly normal” CT scan, Krissi said. But six weeks ago, he had a routine chest X-ray that was not normal.

“The next day we learned he had a tumor, about 10 centimeters, that had developed since his prior exam,” Krissi said. “He was back to work with full duties, no complications or problems.

Now he’s undergoing chemo.”

The tumor is located just outside Shawn’s lungs, Krissi said. In a few weeks, Shawn’s doctors will do another CT to ensure the tumor is shrinking. The goal is to prevent the tumor from invading Shawn’s lungs and to reduce its size so it can be surgically removed, Krissi said.

“His doctor fully expects him to recover from this and be back to work within a year,” she said.

Mike Singler, a firefighter/paramedic who works at Station 1 with Shawn, said the entire department is doing everything possible to support Shawn and his family physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.

In addition to raising funds for the family – $10,000 so far between collecting at the firehouse and the GoFundMe webpage the firefighters started – Singler said firefighters have also made numerous phone calls and visits, sent emails, invited Shawn to break bread with them at work, kept him abreast of their calls, and even raked leaves and cut the grass.

“This week we’re going to get the Christmas decorations out of the attic and help his wife decorate the house,” Singler said.

The news Shawn was out of remission was “a real blow,” especially to the firefighters on Shawn’s shift at Station 1.

“We’re just trying to spend as much time with him as we can so he doesn’t feel like he’s gone,” Singler said, “and to give him hope that he’ll be back

Shawn Carroll of Joliet has two good reasons for beating his cancer: Taylor, 9, and Tessa, 6. soon.”

It’s this support that’s keeping Shawn going.

“It helped me beat cancer and I’m confident it’s going to help me beat it again,” Shawn said.

Shawn can’t wait to return to the “satisfaction of working a job I love.”

“Every day I went to work with a smile on my face even though I knew it could be a tough day,” he said. “We’re helping people in their lowest time of need. We know what we’re doing is good.”

But that’s not Shawn’s only reason for pushing for a cure. He and Krissi also have two daughters. Taylor is 9 and Tessa is 6.

No way he has cancer

Shawn’s cancer battle began in October 2012 when he found a lump in his thigh while taking a shower. Krissi is a former emergency room nurse; Shawn is a paramedic. They considered possible reasons for the lump.

Neither one heard of liposarcoma

How to help Shawn Carroll has a GoFundMe page. To donate, visit Team Shawn Strong at http:// shawurl.com/2xt3. before the diagnosis.

“We had multiple doctors tell us, ‘He’s 33. No way is he going to have cancer,’ ” Krissi said.

Fortunately, the tumor was localized and encapsulated. Doctors removed it and then Shawn underwent radiation. This second round of cancer is more challenging. Shawn is experiencing some nausea and nerve pain at the tumor site as the chemo cuts off the tumor’s blood supply, Krissi said.

Still, Shawn’s doctors are very optimistic.

“He is only 37 years old, and it’s much easier when you’re young to fight a cancer like this,” Krissi said.

“However, it’s a very aggressive cancer.”

Krissi said firefighters are at increased risk for cancer. A recent study underscores her concern. From 2010 to 2015, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health studied 30,000 firefighters and found an increased risk of certain types of cancer, mostly digestive, oral, respiratory and urinary cancers, according to the study.

Krissi and Shawn both exhort firefighters to shower and wash their gear as soon as possible after fighting a fire to reduce their exposure to dirt and chemicals, Krissi said.

“It’s always been a badge of honor to have dirty gear,” Krissi said, “but they need to keep those carcinogens off them.”

Part of the problem, she believes, is that homes aren’t simple wooden structures as in days past. Modern homes also contain formaldehyde and plastic.

“When they burn, they literally turn into chemical soup,” Krissi said.

“And it’s this toxic chemical soup our guys are wading in.”

Dear Dr. K: I hear and read so much advice about skin care, and I don’t know what’s true and what’s not. Can you address some common myths about skin care?

Dear Reader: You’re right to be skeptical. My patients often tell me they’ve heard about a way to keep their skin clear and healthy, and often it is simply not true. I’ll debunk some of the most common myths I hear: • The right skin cream can keep your skin looking young.

For reducing wrinkles, the treatment with the best evidence behind it is retinoic acid (as in Retin-A) that you apply to your skin. But the best ways to keep wrinkles at bay are using sunscreen and not smoking.

• Antibacterial soap is best for keeping your skin clean.

skin and acne.

There’s no evidence any specific food causes acne. An oily substance called sebum causes acne. It’s made and secreted by small glands beneath the skin.

• Tanning always is bad for you.

Spending too much time in the sun or in a tanning booth can increase skin cancer risk. Excessive tanning also can cause skin to wrinkle and age prematurely.

That is not a myth: It’s undeniably true.

I spent a lot of time on the beaches of

SUDOKU

sunny Southern California when I was a kid, only rarely using suntan lotion. And I’ve had many skin cancers as a result – all cured, fortunately.

But developing a light or gradual tan through repeated, but careful, sun exposure isn’t dangerous. Just take appropriate precautions: Use a sunscreen of at least SPF 30, apply it thoroughly and reapply when necessary, and avoid peak sun exposure times (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.).

• Tanning is good for you.

There’s no evidence tan people are healthier than paler people. Sun exposure does have a health benefit, though.

Sunlight activates vitamin D in the skin.

Vitamin D helps keep bones strong, and may well have other health benefits. But you can get the vitamin D you need from food and supplements. You don’t need to tan.

• The higher the SPF of your sunscreen, the better.

Above a certain level, a higher sun protection factor (SPF) has little added benefit. Using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is fine.

Keeping your skin healthy is important, no doubt. But beware of these myths, as they will only distract you from your goal.

Dear Abby: I recently got my husband back in touch with “Scott,” his best friend from adolescence and college.

My husband’s ex had kept them apart, so this rekindling is extra special and appreciated. I don’t want to do anything that would jeopardize it. But Scott’s wife makes me very uncomfortable.

She is quiet and reserved, but very manipulative. Neither she nor her husband are drinkers, but she insists on bringing a gift of some form of alcohol every time we see them, which is about once a month.

Abby, I am a recovering alcoholic.

I have worked hard for my 11 years of sobriety and continue to work hard at it every day. Firm, but polite, requests I have made to her have fallen on deaf ears. Speaking to Scott hasn’t helped either, because he doesn’t stand up to her. My husband also hasn’t been able

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to get through.

He and Scott tell me to accept the gift and throw it away or give it to another friend. But with addiction, it isn’t that easy. I have resorted to inventing excuses not to see them, but I don’t like feeling this way.

I believe she gives gifts because it makes her feel good, but at what point does my extreme discomfort trump her happiness? What can I do to get her to understand without ruining this relationship? – In A Delicate Situation Dear Delicate: Have you told Scott’s wife you are a recovering alcoholic? If you have, and she persists in gifting you

NEIGHBOR

with liquor when they come over, she is attempting to challenge your recovery. (Could her behavior be the reason your husband’s former wife kept them apart?)

Your husband’s rekindled friendship with Scott would not be ruined if he sees him on a one-to-one basis rather than the four of you socializing as couples.

And if the clueless wife hands you another bottle of booze, that’s what you should insist upon.

Dear Abby: I have been talking to someone I know who is a genuine person, someone who has all the qualities I would want in a lifelong partner. However, I still am in love with my ex.

My ex has moved on but still contacts me, and we do deeply care about each other. I’m afraid if I decide to move forward, I’ll always second-guess whether I did it for the right reasons.

Volunteer.

I’m afraid because of my feelings for my ex, I won’t be able to open up to anyone.

I also know we would have many issues to resolve if we ever decided to give it another chance.

I guess I’m afraid to let go and afraid to move forward. What should I do? –

Equally Torn In The West Dear Equally Torn: Move forward as

your ex has. And while you are at it, put more distance between the two of you.

Whether the person you are talking to – who seems to look good on paper – is someone you’ll wind up with is anybody’s guess. So consider taking a break from romance for a while until you get your head straight. You’re not there yet, but with time you will be.

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent.

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, do everything you can to prevent colorectal cancer. Screening really does save lives!

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Look for alternative ways to advance.

Pick up skills that will help make you unique yet marketable. Embracing change is your ticket to staying on top and not becoming obsolete. Expand your mind, strengthen your body and do your best to develop the attributes required to make your future bright.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Explore the unusual and unfamiliar. The ideas that develop will send you on a journey that is sure to be a learning experience and to change your way of thinking.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Make special plans to share something memorable with a loved one.

You don’t have to overspend to get someone’s attention. Moderation, affection, kindness and consideration will suffice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Work behind the scenes to accomplish your goals. An important relationship should be given the attention it needs to stay on level ground. Aim for unity and equality.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A donation or gift will surprise you. Don’t rule out someone who is quietly observing from the background. The most unlikely source will be the one who comes through for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let anger get the better of you when you should be channeling your energy into personal improvements. Financial gains look promising, and networking will lead to positive change.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – It’s a good day to plan something special for you and your loved ones.

Taking a day trip or expanding your entertainment selection will encourage sharing memories with others as well as making new ones.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You need to focus on taking care of your physical and emotional health.

It’s important to look and feel your best before you present your intentions. Pamper yourself, rejuvenate and spend time with a loved one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Do something you’ve never done before. Personal growth through a creative pursuit or a venture you share with a loved one will bring about positive changes in your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A personal issue will spark controversy. Be careful how you handle delicate

situations. Don’t let anger take control when a positive approach will bring better results. Give a little and take a little.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Socialize, challenge yourself physically and get in the game of life.

Interacting with people who offer unique alternatives will spark your interest and imagination.

Romance is featured.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Explore new interests and delve into something that motivates you. Learn as you go and travel to destinations that will help you make decisions about your future goals.

Robert Benchley, a humorist who died in 1945, said, “Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.”

Declarer is in total command of his side’s forces; he fights the battle alone. The defenders usually work together to defeat a contract; rarely does one defender take total command and leave his partner playing third violin, just trying not to renege.

Which applies in this deal? West leads the heart queen against South’s contract of three no-trump.

South’s jump to game indicated a balanced hand with a good 12 to 15 points, typically at least two stoppers in the intervenor’s suit and fewer than four spades because he did not make a negative double. North had no reason to believe that five clubs would be better. (Note that that contract goes down if East leads a heart, or cashes a high trump and shifts to a heart at trick two.)

South has six top tricks: three spades, one heart and two diamonds.

He will get a second heart winner, but must establish dummy’s clubs, which involves losing the lead twice.

He is in jeopardy.

A meek East would signal exuberantly with the heart 10 at trick one.

Then, after South played low, East would sit back and wait ... and wait ... and wait ... for partner to lead a second heart. Probably West would shift to a spade, but now South would get home with an overtrick.

A more commanding East will see that he is getting on lead twice in clubs. He will overtake the heart queen with the king and continue the suit should declarer duck. Now the contract goes down.

If you see how to defeat a contract, take command.
