To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The purpose of a state constitution is to establish a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.1 OF ARTICLE I OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE I – BILL OF RIGHTS SECTION 8.1. CRIME VICTIMS’ VICTIM’S RIGHTS. (a) Crime victims, as defined by law, shall have the following rights as provided by law: (1) The right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy and to be free from harassment, intimidation, and abuse throughout the criminal justice process.

(2) The right to notice and to a hearing before a court ruling on a request for access to any of the victim’s records, information, or communications which are privileged or confidential by law.

(3) (2) The right to timely notification of all court proceedings.

(4) (3) The right to communicate with the prosecution.

(5) (4) The right to be heard at any post-arraignment court proceeding in which a right of the victim is at issue and any court proceeding involving a post-arraignment release decision, plea, or sentencing. make a statement to the court at sentencing.

(6) (5) The right to be notified of information about the conviction, the sentence, the imprisonment, and the release of the accused.

(7) (6) The right to timely disposition of the case following the arrest of the accused.

(8) (7) The right to be reasonably protected from the accused throughout the criminal justice process.

(9) The right to have the safety of the victim and the victim’s family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail, determining whether to release the defendant, and setting conditions of release after arrest and conviction.

(10) (8) The right to be present at the trial and all other court proceedings on the same basis as the accused, unless the victim is to testify and the court determines that the victim’s testimony would be materially affected if the victim hears other testimony at the trial.

(11) (9) The right to have present at all court proceedings, subject to the rules of evidence, an advocate and or other support person of the victim’s choice.

(12) (10) The right to restitution. (b) The victim has standing to assert the rights enumerated in subsection (a) in any court exercising jurisdiction over the case. The court shall promptly rule on a victim’s request.

The victim does not have party status. The accused does not have standing to assert the rights of a victim. The court shall not appoint an attorney for the victim under this Section. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to alter the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the prosecuting attorney The General Assembly may provide by law for the enforcement of this Section. (c) The General Assembly may provide for an assessment against convicted defendants to pay for crime victims’ rights. (d) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section creates a cause of action in equity or at law for compensation, attorney’s fees, or damages against the State, a political subdivision of the State, an officer, employee, or agent of the State or of any political subdivision of the State, or an officer or employee of the court. or in any law enacted under (e) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section shall be construed as creating (1) a basis for vacating a conviction or (2) a ground for any relief requested by the defendant appellate relief in any criminal case.

EXPLANATION The Constitution sets forth substantial rights for crime victims. The proposed amendment expands certain current rights: 1) Victims are currently entitled to fairness and respect throughout the criminal justice process. The amendment would also provide that they shall be protected from harassment, intimidation and abuse.

2) Victims currently can make a statement to the court when a criminal defendant is sentenced to punishment. The amendment would allow a victim to be heard at any proceeding that involves the victim’s rights, and any proceeding involving a plea agreement, release of the defendant or convicted individual, or sentencing.

3) Victims may obtain information about conviction, sentencing, imprisonment or release. The amendment would require prosecutors and the court to notify victims of those events before they happen.

The amendment would also grant additional rights to crime victims: 1) A victim would have a right to formal notice and a hearing before the court rules on any request for access to the victim’s information which is privileged or confidential information.

2) A victim would have the right to have the judge consider the victim’s safety and the safety of his or her family before deciding whether to release a criminal defendant, setting the amount of bail to be paid before release, or setting conditions of release after arrest or conviction.

3) The victim would have the right to assert his or her rights in any court with jurisdiction over the criminal case, but would not have the same rights as the prosecutor or the criminal defendant and the court could not appoint an attorney for the victim at taxpayer expense.

The proposed amendment would not alter the powers, duties or responsibilities of the prosecutor. Further, a criminal defendant would not be able to challenge his or her conviction on the basis of a failure to follow these provisions.

FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment makes changes to Section 8.1 of Article I of the Illinois Constitution, the Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights. The proposed amendment would expand certain rights already granted to crime victims in Illinois, and give crime victims the ability to enforce their rights in a court of law. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.

Fire at Days Inn & Suites causes $7,000 in damages

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Firefighters quickly contained a fire on the second floor of the Days Inn & Suites in Morris on Monday.

The fire did about $7,000 in damage, destroying a lamp and nightstand, as well as burning part of a wall in one of the hotel’s rooms, according to Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District Chief Tracey Steffes. Most of the damage was smoke related, he added.

The fire’s cause is under investigation, but Steffes said investigators have narrowed it to two possible sources – a small, battery-powered device or a candle that was left burning.

The renters of the sec-

ond-floor room were out of town at the time of the fire but will be questioned by investigators, Steffes said.

Companies were called to the scene just before 3 p.m.

Monday.

Morris firefighters were conducting extrication training on Gore Road at the time of the fire and arrived on the scene in just a few minutes.

The fast response contributed to the containment of the damage, Steffes said.

“They extinguished the flames and had the place ventilated very quickly,” he said.

The structure was not compromised, but smoke damage will keep a few rooms on the second floor unrented until further notice, Steffes said.

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn has proclaimed October as “Domestic Violence Awareness Month” in Illinois.

The month is designed to raise awareness about domestic violence and available resources for those in need, according to a news release.

Several events will be held around the state in observance of “Domestic Violence Awareness Month,” including 5K walk/ runs, candlelight vigils and marches.

A complete listing of events is available at the IDHS website, www.dhs.state.il.us.

“Domestic violence knows no boundaries. It exists in all neighborhoods and cities, and affects people of all ages, racial, ethnic, economic and religious backgrounds,” said Michelle R.B. Saddler, Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) Secretary. “In Illinois alone, there are approximately 115,000 to 125,000 domestic crimes each year.”

IDHS supports nearly 70 multi-service domestic violence programs across the state, offering counseling and advocacy, legal assistance, children’s services, and shelter and support services at no cost to the victim, according to the release.

In addition, IDHS works with more than 70 Partner Abuse Intervention Programs to reduce and prevent domestic violence and to assist the court system

DeKALB – With Friday night’s 42-0 loss to DeKalb, Morris is one loss away from missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season.

If the Redskins (2-4, 0-2 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) don’t win their final three games, they’ll miss the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 1981-82.

Morris also was shut out for the first time this year in the defeat, which featured a running clock in the fourth quarter.

“We just need to gain some consistency (on offense). We do some things really well at times, and we look really bad at times,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “It’s just frustrating because I think this team’s better than we’re playing, which again, we all need to do a better job and it starts with me.

“We’ve got to get back after it here if we want to make the playoffs now.”

Meanwhile, DeKalb (6-0, 3-0) qualified for the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 1980-81.

“It’s an amazing feeling,” DeKalb running back Tony Tate said. “It’s always been one of our goals from the beginning of the season, to do better than we did last year, to go farther than just the first round. It’s good to know that we’re in now.”

DeKalb tailback Dre Brown ran for 221 yards and three touchdowns in the win, but DeKalb showed its more than just Brown, who will play at Illinois next season.

Tate, the speedy Barbs tailback, showed he can do some damage against opposing defenses, as well. Tate ran for 67 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a 33-yard screen pass from Derek Kyler and took it into the end zone.

“They always key on Dre, so he was a real big decoy,” Tate said. “The line, they just let everybody come through, and then I just [got open], the line had a good seam for me. I just saw it and I just took it.”

The duo of Brown and Tate were responsible for all of

Panthers 31, Bears 24

‘WE’VE GOT TO FINISH’ Bears’ defense plays well enough to win

By ADAM L. JAHNS ajahns@suntimes.com CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Defensive end Willie Young had just made quick work of two Carolina Panthers linemen, sacked quarterback Cam Newton and forced a lively fumble.

He was thinking scoop and score.

“Oh, I tried,” Young said. “I got [popped] by the little [running back Darrin Reaves], man. He came in and thugged me up pretty good.”

The ball was recovered by fellow end Lamarr Houston, but Young’s play underscored a productive day by a beleaguered defense. The defense played well enough to win Sunday in a disheartening 3124 loss against the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.

The Bears’ offense did not.

In fact, it’s difficult envisioning what the Bears’ oftpraised offense would have been Sunday were it not for

the defense.

Nickel back Isaiah Frey’s forced fumble and recovery at the Panthers’ 28 turned into seven points. Young’s sack and strip turned into a Bears possession at the Carolina 13 and seven points.

Even the Bears’ maddening drive late in the second quarter full of missed chances and capped by kicker Robbie Gould’s missed 35yard field goal was preceded by linebacker Lance Briggs’ interception.

The defense, a veteranladen, injury-plagued group that has been ripped endlessly, wasn’t on the field when newcomer Teddy Williams’ blundering hit turned into wild 79-yard punt return touchdown.

The Bears’ offense only scored three points in the second half.

Yet, the Bears’ defense lamented the 10 points it allowed in the final 4:29, regardless if it was the offense that

unspeakably turned the ball over twice to put them in precarious spots.

“We’ve got to get more takeaways,” defensive end Jared Allen said.

“We’ve got to finish,” linebacker Jon Bostic said.

“We needed to make some more plays,” Frey added.

No, the offense had to finish and make more plays.

After getting torn apart by Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the defense had three takeaways, two sacks and seven pass breakups, which included consecutive tipped passes by rookie tackle Ego Ferguson. Newton had a 69.7 passer rating in the first half.

Now, Newton isn’t Rodgers. But the defense, which lost starters Chris Conte (concussion) and Jon Bostic (linebacker), still held the Panthers to a season-best 321 total net yards and forced five punts, including three consecutive in the fourth quarter

when the Bears led, 24-21. The defense opened the door, but the offense shut it.

“We were feeling really good,” Houston said. “We were getting stops and getting turnovers and getting them out on third downs.”

The most troubling aspect is that the offense seems to becoming fully reliant on a defense that hasn’t proven to be reliable. Five of the Bears’ 13 touchdowns on offense have come after defensive takeaways.

Defensive players thought the Panthers, notably Newton, adjusted well in the second half, whether it was quicker throws or more play action.

Their effort may have been solid, but it still was a losing one.

“We’ve got a bad taste in our mouth right now,” Young said. “When you’re up by that many points and you can’t find a way to seal the deal, it hurts.”

Covering Olsen: The former Bears tight end burned them on Sunday afternoon. Greg Olsen had six catches for 72 yards, but most importantly, two touchdown catches, including the gamewinner.

Protecting the football: Jay Cutler threw two interceptions and Matt Forte lost his first fumble since Week 11 of last season.

line, and Thomas Davis stopped Forte for a loss of one yard. The Bears settled for a field goal, their only points of the second half.

With 6:08 to go in the game and great field position at their own 46-yard line, the Bears had another chance to try to put the game away, but they had a costly turnover. Cutler overthrew Santonio Holmes, and Thomas DeCoud picked it off for Carolina, and the Panthers tied the score with a field goal three plays later.

Run defense: Even though it was against a group of thirdstring backs, the Bears did hold the Panthers to only 3.3 yards a carry.

Cam Newton had six carries for nine yards.

First-half offense: The Bears clicked before halftime – really, before Robbie Gould’s missed field goal. Jay Cutler was 13 for 16 for 180 yards and two scores, and he ran for another touchdown, and Matt Forte had seven catches for 85 yards.

Defending Benjamin: In the battle of Rookie of the Year candidates, Kyle Fuller got the edge. He followed Kelvin Benjamin around the field and the star wideout had only three catches for 38 yards on 11 targets.

On third-and-13 in the second quarter with a 21-7 lead, Matt Forte took a screen pass 56 yards.

It seemed that a block from Martellus Bennett could spring Forte for the touchdown, which would have come close to putting the game away. Instead, the Bears stalled, Robbie Gould missed a field goal, and the Panthers outscored the Bears 24-3 the rest of the way.

The pitch left to Forte usually works, but we’re left wondering what would have happened if Jermon Bushrod was playing. It was third-and-2 late in the third quarter at the Panthers’ 26-yard

What it means: A Lions loss helps in the division; the Bears are only a game behind Detroit and Green Bay; but it’s yet another game they easily should have won.

What’s next: The Bears travel to Atlanta to play a Falcons team that has lost two in a row, but has two of the game’s best receivers. The Bears’ offense will have to play much better to keep up.

Dibble, defense power Coalers past Bulldogs

Morris Daily Herald / morrisdailyherald.com • Tuesday, October 7, 2014

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – When the football season started, all the talk about Coal City running back Jack Dibble was that he was a threat to take the ball the distance at any time.

Usually, big-play threats also aren’t associated with workhorse-type efforts, but that’s just what Dibble turned in Friday night as the Coalers upended Streator, 14-0, in Interstate Eight Large action.

Dibble wore down the Bulldogs with repeated carries behind his mammoth offensive line, finishing with 227 yards

on 37 attempts. Rarely did any of his rushing attempts venture toward the sideline. The plan was to focus on going straight ahead.

“This was really a grindit-out type of game,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said.

“That’s what we had to do.

We really couldn’t throw it much through this wind, so we got behind our line and kept pounding.

“Jack Dibble had a real solid game for us. He didn’t get a lot of big plays, but he had a lot of five- or six-yard gains that added up to first downs and us eating up a lot of the clock.”

Neither team could do much

offensively for most of the first half, as there were eight punts and a turnover on downs before Coal City’s Parker Czaja recovered a Streator fumble at the Coalers’ 33-yard line with just more than 4:00 to play until halftime. On third-and-2, Dibble broke through the line and had a clear view of the goal line, but Streator’s Kort Davis saved a touchdown with a shoestring tackle at the Bulldogs 43-yard line. After an incompletion by Nick Micetich, two Dibble runs gained six yards, setting up fourth-and-4 from the Streator 37-yard line.

Micetich, who had not completed a pass in seven previous

tries, rolled to his right and fired downfield. The ball tipped off a Streator defender’s hands and into the arms of Coal City receiver Ryan Horrie near the 20-yard line. Not only did Horrie catch the ball, but he kept his feet inbounds, turned and sprinted the rest of the way into the end zone. Joe Quinn’s kick gave Coal City a 7-0 lead with 1:17 to go in the first half.

“That was one heck of a concentration play by Ryan Horrie,” Onsen said. “First to catch the ball after it was tipped, then to keep his feet in bounds. It was also nice for us to take advantage of the turnover when we got it.”

The final Coalers scoring drive also started on their own 33-yard line, and was highlighted by a 12-yard pass play from Micetich to Czaja. On third-and-5 from the 34-yard line, Dibble broke free again, and this time there was no one to trip him up as he raced 34 yards into the end zone.

Quinn’s kick provided the final score with 1:56 to play in the third quarter.

From there, it was up to the Coal City defense, and it responded by keeping Streator out of the end zone, including an interception by Paul Jones.

Streator was limited to 137 total yards

WESTMONT 27, SENECA 22

All-important fifth win may be tough for Fighting Irish

By MARK JOHNSON Shaw Media Correspondent SENECA – The Seneca Fighting Irish experienced a five-win season that did not produce a playoff berth in 2012, when their 35 opponents’ wins were insufficient for them to qualify.

With 28 opponents’ wins six weeks into the season, the Irish are in a better position for an at-large berth in 2014 than they were two years ago, despite their 27-22 loss to Westmont Friday in Seneca, though nothing is certain. To even have a chance at being a five-win qualifier, though, the 4-2 Irish must get that fifth victory. Doing so does not figure to be easy.

The opportunity for win No. 5 certainly was there Friday night against Westmont, when the Irish held leads of 14-0 early in the second quarter and

22-19 with 4 minutes to play. After stopping the Sentinels just short of the goal line late in the third quarter and having the subsequent drive go 99 yards on 17 plays for a go-ahead touchdown, the Irish allowed Westmont to race downfield for the winning touchdown in just five plays.

“You go 99, you want to get a stop there at the end. You think you got some momentum after something like that, and then that was just, they went down, I think they took a minute off the clock … that was just too easy,” Seneca coach Ted O’Boyle said.

“Our kids gave good effort all night long, though. I’m proud of the way we played. It’s five points, and unfortunately I think we’ll remember those five points.”

Three traditional powers now stand in the way of the

Irish and their fifth victory.

Wilmington will bring a 6-0 overall record to Seneca next Friday. Week 8 opponent Plano is 3-3 overall, but its losses have come at the hands of teams that

are a combined 16-2 this season.

The Irish will face a Coal City team that is currently 5-1 in Week 9.

“We’re gonna have a lot of playoff points, we know that,

but we’re going to have to win one of the next three games against three of the top teams in the conference,” O’Boyle

do was the major contributor for Coal City with three hits at the plate and a masterful game on the mound. Gagliardo recorded a season-high seven strikeouts to go with no walks and only four hits allowed.

Payton Hutchings and Jack Bunton each had two hits. In the third-place game, the Warriors upended Homer Glen, 4-3. Jack Bunton got the victory with five innings, scattering seven hits, four strikeouts, two earned runs and no walks.

Hutchings hurled the final two innings for the save with four strikeouts. Coal City got on the board in the second after Connor Best and Mickey McDowell both scored on Ryan Wasielewski’s single. The Warriors added a run each in the third and fourth innings.

“I think we knew, coming into the season, what was loaded on the back end of our schedule, so I think we knew we needed to get to that magic number so there wasn’t as much pressure on the next three. But you know what?

EAST PEORIA – It might not had been the dream scenario everyone hoped for, but both the Saratoga and Coal City baseball teams fared quite well over the weekend at the IESA state tournament.

Saratoga finished its season with a 22-1 record and ended up in second place in Class 2A, while defending Class 3A champion Coal City (22-5) came home with a third-place trophy.

In Class 2A, the Hawks defeated Princeville, 5-3, in the semifinals Saturday to advance to the title game. After spotting the Princes two runs in the first inning, the Hawks tied the game at 2 in the third, only to see Princeville take a 3-2 lead in the fourth. Saratoga answered with two in the fifth to take the lead and added an insurance run in the sixth.

Winning pitcher Chad Heren went the distance, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out one. Heren, Cody Bledsoe and Jacob Overbeck

finished sixth in 19:15, followed by Meghan Smith (30th, 20:46), Sophie Tibbott (42nd, 21:46), Katherine Gallick (51st, 22:33), Maria Blanco (56th, 22:57), Lily Tibbott (57th, 23:05) and Bridget Gile (69th, 23:54).

“We were pleased with the improvements in time,” Blumberg said. “But for us to have more team success, we have to close the gap on Mya. We aren’t using pack running effectively right now.”

West Chicago, the Morris boys finished fifth behind Illiana Christian, Wheaton Academy, Sycamore and Elmwood Park.

Jacob Wantland was Morris’ top finisher, taking seventh place in 16:02. He was followed

by Jake Hesslau (19th, 16:51), Austin Patterson (36th, 17:40), Al Alvarez (39th, 17:43) and Tristan DeGrush (44th, 17:53).

Morris’ No. 2 runner, Zach Chapman, and Vicente Gallegos did not run because of minor injuries.

“I think I mentioned on the radio over the weekend that we were healthy,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “I guess I didn’t knock on wood. We had two guys out that certainly would have helped. However, the injuries are minor and we should have both back by conference. Our three to five have to move up for us to make noise down the stretch. Today’s results were a perfect example of how important three through five are and how important each second is. Thirteen seconds separated nine runners.

In a sectional, it’s probably 20 runners.”

The Morris girls team finished seventh. Mya Shannon

have beaten. O’Boyle thinks that is unfair to the Sentinels, who are 3-3 with winnable games against Reed-Custer and Sandwich remaining on their schedule.

“This is the same team that was beating Herscher with 4 minutes to go in the third quarter, and Herscher just labels us, so it wasn’t like this was an upset in any way,

shape or form,” O’Boyle said.

“That’s a very talented team over there, and they have a heck of a chance to get two more Ws and get in the playoffs.”

Karen Bennett 1-30-45 – 10-7-94 I hide my tears when I say your name But the pain in my heart is still the same Though I smile and seem carefree There is no-one who misses you more than me.

“Your Country Friend”

I had to do something this week that absolutely drives me crazy. My old Tahoe needed some much-needed repairs.

I guess I shouldn’t complain.

It has nearly 205,000 miles on it.

Still, it was unexpected, and nobody likes to part with his or her cash for unplanned purchases. It was nice to have it working properly once again, but I already was planning when I could replace it.

The allure of a shiny, new, car is quite tempting.

As I pulled back into my driveway from picking up the vehicle, I passed by an extremely old deer stand. I caught myself smiling and thinking of all the great times I have spent in that stand.

Then it hit me. Why is it that some things seem to get better with age and others are on the “can’t wait to replace” list?

Very strange.

As outdoorsmen, we are constantly bombarded with this vexing situation. Many of us own the latest and greatest when it comes to shotguns.

We were attracted by glossy magazine ads, blued beauties sitting on the dealer’s gun case, or jealous of what latest purchase a hunting buddy just made.

Most of us also own a shotgun that has been passed down for generations from one father to the next. These guns might not be used all that much anymore, but lots of them still shoot fine. We never would imagine giving it up and trading it in. Then another thought hit me. These outdoors items have a well-defined life cycle.

Every season, whether we fish or hunt, we are blitzed by manufacturer’s trying to sell us their new wares. We buy er

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers them. After a season or two, many of these once-cherished purchases are replaced by the next one. They sit on a shelf and collect dust. We don’t use them because they no longer have the features we want or there is something better out there. Then the interesting thing happens.

If they sit on that shelf long enough, not only do they have a real chance of becoming more valuable, monetarily, they also are elevated from dusty junk to a cherished memory. I’ve got a lot of fishing reels that fall into this category.

I can look at them and remember the excitement of saving up enough money to buy them, all new and shiny.

Then I can remember looking at them for years, in the garage, taking up space. Now I am half-tempted to bring them in the house as “vintage” memorabilia. I guess what this really means is that I am no longer a kid and I’ve watched more calendar pages get flipped over then I care to admit.

You might be wondering what my point is with all of this seemingly random babble. I guess I have come to realize that while, yes, shiny and new is always desirable, there is something about a relationship forged over time with an item that is impossible to replace.

OPINION A look at state political races OK, so what we’re gonna do today is discuss some congressional races that you may or may not care about in order to talk about the governor’s race, which you probably do care about since you’re reading this column.

First up, let’s look at freshman Democratic Congressman Brad Schneider, who is leading former one-term Republican Congressman Bob Dold by two points, 46-44, with 9 percent undecided, according to a Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll taken Sept. 30.

Millions have already been spent in that north suburban district, and Schneider barely beat Dold last time in a big Democratic year, so it’s little surprise that this race is so tight. The poll of 919 likely voters has a margin of error of +/-3.2 percent and 23 percent were mobile phone contacts.

Another Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll showed state Rep. Mike Bost leading Democratic freshman Congressman Bill Enyart by five points, 45-40, with six points going to Green Party candidate Paula Bradshaw in this southern Illinois district.

Despite Democratic efforts to paint Bost as a scary, screaming extremist, the Republican is leading Enyart 41-40 among women.

The poll of 909 likely voters was taken Oct. 1 and has a margin of error of +/-3.3 percent. 22 percent of the contacts were cellphone users.

The biggest bright spot for the congressional Democrats came from a Sept. 29 Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll which showed

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller Democratic Congresswoman Cheri Bustos leading former GOP Congressman Bobby Schilling by nine points, 50-41. The poll of 953 likely voters had a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percent.

Like elsewhere, Gov. Pat Quinn has a big problem with women in the district.

Bustos is winning among women, 51-39, but they split 39-39 in Quinn’s race against Republican Bruce Rauner.

OK, now to the point I’m trying to make.

If you look back at 2012, it was very difficult to find a hotly contested congressional race where President Obama was trailing in the polls. He won all the districts listed above.

These are swing districts. Neither party has a huge advantage over the other party. You’d expect Quinn to at least be competitive, but he’s getting blown out everywhere except the Bustos district, where he’s still trailing.

Obama won Illinois by 17 points, so Quinn doesn’t have to be all that close in those congressional districts to prevail. But his appalling numbers are a clear sign of his unpopularity everywhere but Chicago. Despite recent polls showing Rauner and Quinn essentially tied, I think the governor is still a long way away from closing this deal.

latinum is a silver-white metal that is actually more valuable than gold. It is used to make a variety of products, including pens, surgical knives, dentistry equipment and electrical contacts. Platinum’s strength, hardness and tarnish-free shine also make it a very popular metal for use in fine jewelry.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

You must take care of losers

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Henry Ford said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”

That applies to bridge partners. And for declarer, when the dummy comes down in a suit contract, it is so important that he start moving forward by counting his losers. Assuming his hand has at least as many trumps as the dummy, he looks at his own 13 cards and takes dummy’s high cards into account. Then, if the loser count is not too high, declarer should draw trumps as quickly as possible. But if the loser count is too high, declarer must work out how to eliminate the excess.

In this deal, how many losers does South have in four hearts, given that West leads the club queen? How should he plan the play?

The bidding was straightforward, North jumping to game with opening count when he found a 4-4 major-suit fit.

South starts with at least five losers: two spades, one heart or two, and two clubs. But he has discards coming on dummy’s diamonds.

Declarer takes the first trick with dummy’s club ace, plays a diamond to his ace, leads a heart to dummy’s ace, and shakes his club losers on the diamond kingqueen. Then he plays a spade to his ace and leads another spade.

Suppose West returns a club.

South trumps, ruffs a spade in the dummy, leads a trump to his king, and plays on spades to land an overtrick. West makes his trump winner whenever he likes.

Notice the commonplace concepts of discarding losers from hand and ruffing losers in the dummy.

26 Effects of psoriasis are not

confined to the skin DEAR DOCTOR K: My doctor thinks my arthritis and heart disease are connected to my psoriasis. Is this possible? I thought psoriasis was a skin condition.

DEAR READER: Psoriasis (pronounced so-RYE-uhsis) is named for an ancient Greek word meaning an itchy or scaly condition. It is classified as a skin disease, but psoriasis is the result of an immune system abnormality that can cause problems throughout the body.

With psoriasis, white blood cells of the immune system become overactive. They produce excess amounts of chemicals that trigger inflammation. The inflammation leads to abnormally rapid growth of cells in the skin’s outer layer.

This causes plaques: raised, red patches covered with silvery scales on the elbows and knees – the classic sign of psoriasis. (I’ve put a photo of psoriasis plaques on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

But the effects of psoriasis are not always confined to the skin. The disease also can cause inflammation throughout the body. This probably is the reason that people with psoriasis have higher rates of various diseases that also are associated with a constant state of inflammation. These include diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and several types of cancer.

Nearly one-third of people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis, which causes stiff, painful joints and other symptoms.

Several eye problems are more common with psoriasis, including conjunctivitis, blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) and damage to the cornea.

When psoriasis involves only the skin, it often can be treated just by medicines applied to the skin. Very mild cases of psoriasis may improve with moisturizers and some sunlight. But most people need other treatments: – OINTMENTS, GELS OR LOTIONS. The most common are corticosteroids,

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff which come in varying strengths. They quickly reduce inflammation and control itching. Long-term use of strong steroids can thin and damage skin.

– PHOTOTHERAPY. This treatment uses carefully controlled exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, which helps slow the growth of skin cells. UV light combined with medicines called psoralens often are more potent than just UV light (a treatment called PUVA).

– SYSTEMIC THERAPY. If your psoriasis has caused more than skin problems, this can have implications for the kind of treatment your doctor may recommend. Treatments that fight inflammation in multiple parts of the body may be required. Medicines that do this include methotrexate, retinoids and cyclosporine.

Research in recent years has led to biologic agents that directly neutralize some of the body’s chemicals (called cytokines) that cause inflammation. They have proved very effective in severe psoriasis. Though they carry a risk of serious side effects, the benefits generally are greater than the risks.

Exercise and weight loss, which help fight inflammation, may help. Adopting other healthy lifestyle choices, such as avoiding tobacco and eating well, can help prevent health problems linked to psoriasis.

If it seems that I’m recommending a healthy lifestyle as the cure for every human ailment, that’s because it really is true: A healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of, and suffering from, many major illnesses.

Morris Police Chief Brent Dite (left) and Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland congratulate Morris police officer Patrick Funk on his newly acquired K-9 partner, Talon, who was purchased with funds from the state’s attorney’s office and will begin work immediately. conducted by other agencies, outside of Morris, who do not have canine officers.

“We’re now another resource,” Dite said.

Talon will live full time

with Funk and work alongside him on daily shifts.

Talon can be used on regular traffic stops. If the canine detects the presence of drugs, an officer has probable cause

to search the vehicle, Funk said Training, purchasing and equipping Talon cost about $13,000, a cost that was paid for by the Grundy County

MORRIS – At a glance, twoyear-old Talon looks like an average dog. A Dutch Shepherd with brown hair and a wagging tail, he licks and jumps just like other puppies his age.

It’s his keen sense of smell that sets him apart.

When the scent of cannabis, heroine, meth, crack or cocaine hits his nose, Talon stops wagging, sits still and focuses his gaze, all signs that he’s found something.

Talon is certified as an Illinois State Police K-9 officer – a drug detecting dog – and as of Monday evening, he is the newest officer on the Morris police force.

“He’s going to be an outstanding resource for the department,” Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said Monday.

Morris police officer Patrick Funk was selected in September to serve as Talon’s partner after going through an application within the department.

“He fit the position perfectly,” Dite said. “He is a very active and proactive officer.”

Funk and Talon spent the last six weeks training at the ISP academy in Champaign.

Talon’s first day on the job was Saturday, but he was officially sworn in during Monday’s City Council meeting.

“I was just thrilled. I was ecstatic,” Funk said. “This was one of my goals when I became a police officer. It’s one of the reasons I wanted to be a police officer.”

The Morris Police Department joins Minooka police and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department as the only agencies in Grundy County to have a drug-sniffing officer.

Dite said the department can now take the lead on certain drug enforcement initiatives such as conducting narcotic searches at local schools. Dite said the dog also can help at traffic stops

State’s Attorney’s Office.

Bothers Country Supply in Morris is donating a lifetime supply of food for Talon, Dr. Dave Bainbridge at Morris Veterinary Hospital is donating health care services for the dog.

State’s Attorney Jason Helland said the money comes from Grundy County’s drug asset forfeiture fund, which is supported through asset forfeitures made on drug arrests.

In 2013, Grundy County ranked third among all counties for the most assets seized.

According to Illinois State Police, Grundy County seized almost $780,000 in drug assets.

Legally, that money must be used for further enforcement of drug laws.

Helland said he wanted to use the money in ways that would positively impact the community by getting drugs off the streets and out of schools. He feels drug dogs are an important tool in making those improvements.

“I’m excited to get this up and going,” Helland said. “It will be a great asset for the community.”

Funk said he plans to make Talon very visible in the community.

“I think the kids will love him,” Funk said. “It will build a good relationship between the department and the community.”

Local groups turn out for Coal City Octoberfest

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Scattered snowflakes, low temperatures and howling wind Saturday didn’t keep Michelle Miller away from Coal City Octoberfest.

She and her daughter Lilly spent the afternoon at the hometown event, which takes over downtown Coal City every year during the first weekend of October. The event coincides with the Coal City High School homecoming and features several local organizations.

“We come out every year,” Miller said.

Vendors from throughout Illinois, local service groups and area businesses lined Broadway Street for the festival. The day culminated with a community parade.

Lilly Miller, 5, Peyton Moore, 5, and Jada Moore, 9, all of Coal City collect candy during Saturday’s Octoberfest parade in downtown Coal City.

Woman’s Club said the weather kept attendance lower than usual this year, and some regular activities – such as the Coal City Boy Scout’s dunk tank fundraiser – were canceled because of the cold.

“I’m normally not wearing my winter wear,” Ewenson

said.

Octoberfest is the woman’s club’s largest annual fundraiser and takes months of planning. The village used to

The bright-colored, vintage car drew a lot of attention Saturday.

“We try to pick a nice one that will sell a lot of tickets,” said Tom Kinzler of the Morris Lions Club.

The Immaculate Conception Church of Braidwood also took part in Saturday’s event.

The group sold tickets for a much-needed fundraiser to purchase a new church heating system.

Church member Teri Middleton said the church needs $17,000 by the end of the month, and was grateful to have a booth at Saturday’s event to help reach that goal.

“We’re going to need it soon.

It’s OK right now, but if it stays this cold much longer, we’re in trouble,” she said.

“It’s our major fundraiser and our signature project. It raises monies for the rest of the entire year,” she said. “The village still helps us tremendously with everything.”

The woman’s club uses the money raised to host several free community events during the year and sponsor college scholarships for local students.

Other area service groups benefit from Octoberfest, including the Morris Lions Club, which spent the day collecting raffle tickets for its annual car raffle.

The Lions Club chose a yellow 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible for this year’s raffle, which will end Sunday at the Lions Club car show held at the LyondellBasell Recreation

WIC program changes state milk choices

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The state WIC program recently made changes to its milk choices, allowing only children ages 12 to 23 months to receive whole milk.

The Illinois Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children made the change Oct. 1.

“Milk has the same nutrients whether it’s whole, 2 percent, 1 percent or skim,” said Stacy McCarthy, Grundy County Health Department’s WIC Nutritionist. “The fat content is all that is different, and children ages 12 to 23 months still need the fat for brain development.”

The program – designed to improve the nutrition and health of pregnant women, new moms, infants and young children – will now only offer 1 percent or skim milk for children over the age of 2 and women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have recently had a baby.

“The Dietary Guidelines for Americans have recommended low-fat milk for some time and nutrition education provided at WIC offices has pro-

vided this message and now the milk we provide will support it as well,” Penny Roth, a registered dietitian and the director of the Illinois WIC program, said in a news release.

“WIC is more than a food program, it is an education program and it is vital that the WIC food packages reinforce nutrition education messages for optimal health for our participants.”

McCarthy said that she’s aware that milk with different fat content tastes different, and she encourages those who come to the Grundy County WIC program to mix the lower percentage 50/50 with what they are currently drinking to ween themselves down step by step to the lesser fat content.

“We’ve even posted information on our bulletin board to tell them how to mix the milk to ween yourself down,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy said it will take until December for all the local clients to be transitioned over to the new milk guidelines because vouchers are handed out three months at a time. Those receiving vouchers Sept. 30 won’t get their next set of new vouchers until December.

a letter to Tri-K Supplies seeking requisition assistance with business records. The auditor received a letter from an attorney representing the owner of Tri-K Supplies.

The letter stated, “Unfortunately, my client is unable to assist in this audit. Once the business was dissolved, all records were discarded. … Moreover, Tri-K Supplies, Inc. is no longer in operation and has been dissolved.”

The Illinois Secretary of

State’s corporation file detail report indicates that Tri-K Supplies voluntarily dissolved May 19 without any notice to the district.

“The school district continued aggressively pursuing the matter, issuing a demand letter seeking restitution for damages resulting from the failure to deliver items bid, ordered and paid for,” the district said in the news release. “As a result of this demand and subsequent negotiations between the par-

ties, the former owner of Tri-K Supplies, Inc. has agreed to pay District 1 $50,000 in order to resolve the dispute.”

The district is now using various vendors based on previous bids, Bugg said.

“Any time something like this happens, we look at how we can address it,” Bugg said.

“To further centralize the process, all of the orders will happen out of the business manager’s office instead of[being] site-based.”

Any changes in how breasts look or feel should be reported to your healthcare provider. · A clinical breast exam, for women in their 20s and 30s at least every 3 years. After age 40, women should have a breast exam by a healthcare provider every year. · A yearly mammogram for women age 40 and older (as long as they are in good health).While mammograms can miss some cancers, they are still a very good way to detect breast cancer.

COAL CITY – Coal City Community Unit School District 1 will receive $50,000 in restitution to settle a dispute with an outside vendor of custodial supplies and equipment.

The district’s school board acted at its Oct. 1 meeting to settle the dispute with vendor Tri-K Supplies Inc. A news release from the school board said administrators became aware in February of potential discrepancies between custodial supply items ordered from Tri-K Supplies and what the district actually received.

“It was found in late February, and we put them on notice in March,” Superintendent Kent Bugg said Monday. “We stopped purchasing supplies from them immediately.”

The district found the errors because another vendor that bid previously asked questions about what was being provided. While researching those

answers, the administration found the issue and Bugg told the school board.

The board spoke with the district’s attorney, Stuart Whitt, who recommended hiring an outside auditing firm to determine the extent of the issue. Bugg said the board contracted with Sikich LLP, a nationally known firm specializing in forensic audits of this type.

In July, Sikich confirmed the district’s findings and sent

Coal City schools settle with custodial supply vendor

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – With cooler temperatures and falling leaves, The Grapevine Mission’s Fall Festival hopes to rake in some much needed funds to provide for the organization’s assistance programs including Thanksgiving meals and Christmas gifts.

“We serve mostly Grundy and Livingston counties, but we do not have a limited service area,” said Judy Pershey, Grapevine Mission organizer.

“Most of the people we service do not have transportation to get to other agencies who can help them, so we deliver what they need to their door.”

The Grapevine Mission is a nonprofit organization founded by Judy and Mark Pershey of Dwight in April 2006. She said her typical clients are people who are working who make too much on paper, but aren’t surviving.

The organization holds its fall fundraiser Sunday at the

Moose Lodge, 3835 Route 47 in Morris. The event includes auctions, games and prizes for those who come out to support their cause.

Pershey runs the organization from her home and from the back of a 14-foot truck she

uses to go to Bloomington to get food and bring back to the area to deliver to those in need.

Kay Willis, who has volunteered for The Grapevine Mission for the past eight years, said she hopes people attend the fundraiser so they can see first-hand the good that is being done.

“They can actually put a face with the name of the people doing the work,” Willis said.

In 2013, Grapevine Mission delivered more than 1,000 meals to low-income, seniors and disabled households. It also provided more than 25 families with holiday meals, extra groceries and gifts for children.

Pershey hopes to raise enough money Sunday to fulfill even more holiday meals and Christmas items this year.

Anyone wanting to learn about the “Stuff a Stocking” Christmas program and how they can adopt a child or family for Christmas can contact The Grapevine Mission at 815-5843472.

8 Fundraiser being held for The Grapevine Mission

Mazon woman in critical condition following weekend crash in Joliet JOLIET – A Mazon woman remained in critical condition Monday following a weekend traffic crash on the far West Side of Joliet.

Joliet Police Cmdr. Al Roechner said the 38-year-old woman was driving a Nissan Cube at 3:19 p.m. Saturday southbound on Grove Road

when the collision occurred.

“The Cube was struck on the driver’s side by a green 1993 Toyota Corolla that was westbound on Caton Farm and apparently failed to stop at the intersection,” Roechner said.

The impact knocked the Cube about 100 feet down the road and into a ditch. The driver was airlifted to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood

with life-threatening injuries.

According to reports, she remained in critical condition and was breathing with a ventilator Monday.

The driver of the Corolla, an 77-year-old Yorkville woman, complained of chest pain following the crash.

Roechner said Monday the crash was being reconstructed by traffic investigators and charges were pending.
