Hoping for a Christmas miracle for BBBS

I received some good news late last week from Mike Trafton, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties.

As of Friday morning, “a little over 60” people had expressed interest in becoming a “big” to a “little” at the mentoring organization.

BBBS pairs children with an adult role model to help change kids’ perspectives and give them the opportunity to reach their potential, according to the agency’s website.

In late October, there were nearly 100 local kids waiting to be matched with a “big.”

Trafton and the rest of the dedicated staff at BBBS set a goal of having 100 “bigs” signed up by Christmas.

Although still 40 people away from the goal, Trafton said he considers this campaign a success.

And he’s right – as usual, I’m overwhelmed by the generosity and compassion of this area.

But what if our communities in Will and Grundy counties could come through with that final 40 signups by the end of the week?

It is Christmas, and I do believe in miracles.

If you’ve felt compelled to help change a life lately, this may be your way to do so.

Give BBBS a call at 815-7232227 or visit www.bbbswillgrundy.org to learn more.

Perhaps the best gift you give this year is to a complete stranger.

••• I’m here for one final push for the Herald Angels campaign, which continues through Christmas. This is a giving opportunity where we have partnered with the United Way of Will County.

Send in a donation, and all

VIEWS Kate Schott of it goes to the United Way, which in turn shares the funding with its 46 partner agencies.

We’ve highlighted during the past month four of the agencies that benefit from donations to the United Way. What’s been clear to me as I’ve edited these stories is how much good United Way partner agencies do for our community. What’s also clear is how much need there is at these agencies.

Mike Hennessy, CEO of United Way of Will County, said one in four residents in Will County have reached out for help from one of the United Way agencies, and the need has grown drastically according to feedback from these agencies. The increase in funding needs is up 15 percent, he has told us.

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

We are thankful for whatever you can donate.

Students from Trinity Christian School clutch green balloons Friday outside their school in Shorewood before releasing them into the air in remembrance of their classmate, Cash Gettys. Cash, who was 4, died Dec. 14.

School honors boy who died

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent SHOREWOOD – Nineteen tiny pairs of hands were raised to Heaven on Friday afternoon as they released green balloons in honor of their preschool friend Cash Gettys, who died suddenly Dec. 14.

Cash, 4, had a bacterial infection that quickly spread to his bloodstream and caused sep- Cash Gettys sis. Cash, the son of Zain Gettys and Christina Humphries, was laid to rest Friday in Naperville.

Zain Gettys described his son as a little boy who liked trucks, cars and tractors, and loved playing the drums – he even wanted to start his own kid band.

“He was always smiling and laughing, and he was always full of energy. He was a kid who loved being outside playing baseball,” Zain Gettys said during a phone interview Friday. “We are now heartbroken and devastated, and our world has forever changed.”

Gettys attended Trinity Christian Preschool in Shorewood and was in teacher Dawn Matulis’ class along

with 19 other children. After Cash’s father informed the school about his passing, Matulis knew she had to address the matter with her students in a delicate way.

Trinity Christian Preschool Director Marty Bachtler said Matulis handled the situation beautifully.

“She called every parent who had a child in Cash’s class so they could tell their child. Then the next day, she sat all of the children down in a circle to talk about Cash and what had happened,” Bachtler said. “Then she had each child draw a picture about Cash or something they liked doing with Cash and she delivered those keepsakes to his mother, Christina.”

Bachtler said some of the drawings said things like, “I miss you Cash,” “I miss playing cars with you Cash,” and his best friend, Liam, wrote about angels.

Christyna Belshan’s daughter, Emmalyn Belshan, is in Cash’s preschool class.

The Plainfield mom came to the balloon launch to support the children and family.

“This is a good reminder of what is important in life.

It’s not the toys and running around, it’s about spending time with your children,”

Belshan said. “The other night Emmalyn said that Cash was with her grandma in Heaven.”

With Christmas around the corner, the classroom had a party planned and room mother Desiree Rogers wanted to honor Cash and have a special way for his classmates and parents to say goodbye.

After Cash’s classmates finished the party Friday afternoon, the children slipped on their coats and grabbed a balloon. They walked down the long hallway in a line and onto the school grounds by the Trinity Christian School sign, which read, “Rest in Peace Cash Gettys 2011-2015.”

The children bowed their heads as Matulis prayed.

“Dear God, thank you for Cash. Thank you for taking care of him. We love him. In Jesus’ name, Amen,” she said.

After the prayer, the children raised their hands high and released the balloons for Cash. They all watched the balloons and giggled as the wind whipped them in every direction.

“We learn about God all through preschool and we talked about how Cash knew Jesus was his Savior and how the everlasting life Jesus offers is now Cash’s,” Matulis said.

Hansen family still rebuilding nearly 6 months after Coal City tornado

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

MHN

OAL CITY – It’s been nearly six months since an F3 tornado ripped through Coal City on the night of June 22.

For Chad and Melissa Hansen and their children, 14-year-old Mason Mulcahy and 12-year-old Aiden Hansen, the tornado caused drastic changes to what was once a normal life.

“We were suppose to be done with construction by January, but now it’s looking like March before we’ll be home,” Melissa said. “I feel like I’ve aged 15 years.”

She no longer has time for her daily workouts. Between working, driving her sons to and from Coal City for their sports, and battling the insurance company, there isn’t a whole lot of time left in the day.

She wonders at times if it would have been better if the tornado took the family’s entire house, instead of the structural and cosmetic damage it wrought. It left them with a shell of a home and the need to qualify every item on their insurance claim.

The family is grateful they paid extra premiums to have additional coverage on their belongings to help pay for what they knew was going to be a huge expense to rebuild and replace. But they soon found out having the insurance didn’t mean there wouldn’t be a fight.

“I’ve struggled with how to fix 100 percent of my house with only 80 percent of the money we need,” Melissa said. “I don’t understand how they sell a policy with additional riders they don’t want to pay.”

She said the time she spends finding companies that can complete the work, making sure that existing elements such as electricity

THE CLEANUP CONTINUES

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Mason Mulcahy, 14, and his mother, Melissa Hansen, inspect Wednesday the progress on their family’s Coal City home. “I miss being able to walk home from school,” Mason said. “I miss that I’m not really close to my friends anymore. Some are in Braidwood, some are in Morris. I’m the only one in Minooka.” are up to code and calling the insurance company’s lawyer is like a second full-time job, and she’s getting tired.

Multiple stressors

The financial issues of rebuilding are just part of the stress on the family.

Chad, who is a plumber and works as a chief engineer in his day job in downtown Chicago, has taken on a lot of the work himself.

“I come to the house after work most days and work at least three to four hours,” he said. “Some nights when the boys have a game I leave and go to the game and then come back to work some more.”

He said the games are a

welcome break on a job that isn’t going fast enough.

From the outside the house looks near completion, with new siding, new windows and doors.

Inside, it’s a different story.

The drywall is missing, HVAC ventilation is laying throughout the first floor and the studs are marked “good” or “bad” dependent upon the damage.

One surprise after the tornado for Melissa was looking from her kitchen into the living room and noticing the inside wall was bowed and no longer straight.

Once the drywall came down, the reason was clear:

The studs had been twisted from the force of the wind – despite being in the center of the home, which didn’t have an outward appearance of being touched other than the shards of broken window glass.

The boys care less about the physical aspects of the damage, and more about the emotional damage, the absence of normalcy and friends.

They don’t know any kids in the Misty Creek neighborhood in Minooka where they are temporarily residing, and their friends – who used to be just a short walk away – are living in other towns.

“I miss being able to

walk home from school,” Mason said. “I miss that I’m not really close to my friends anymore. Some are in Braidwood, some are in Morris. I’m the only one in Minooka.”

Not home for the holidays

As Christmas approaches, the Hansens are reminded yet again that they are in a temporary home.

Christmas decorations that survived are in storage and this year’s tree is a 6-inch decoration that sits alongside a plastic baby Jesus that Aiden insisted on buying for the holidays.

The word “bowed” is written on a stud in the Hansen family’s Coal City home. The house was damaged in the tornado that struck Coal City in June. The studs were twisted from the force of the wind – despite being in the center of the home.

Some holiday traditions change, others are kept • CLEANUP

Continued from page 3 For Thanksgiving, the family didn’t gather around the table. Instead, they went out to eat – another reminder of how things are no longer “normal.”

“We went out to eat. It wasn’t too bad,” Aiden said. “We have a little 5- or 6-inch tree next to a glowing baby Jesus that is bigger than the tree. It seemed like the right thing since we weren’t getting a tree.”

Mason said Christmas just feels different without the family’s regular decorations up.

Melissa and Chad are trying to keep

some traditions going and are spending this weekend in Rosemont, where they can go ice skating with the kids and relax – something they’ve always done the weekend before Christmas.

Aiden said his grandma and grandpa will come to their rental in Minooka.

“I don’t think it will be much different for us, but it will be more difficult for them, having to travel there,” he said.

New traditions

The spirit of the season is still alive, however.

Chaos, with a tornado as the mascot – have decided to sponsor an area family in need.

“The moms of the team have decided to sponsor a local needy family to give back to our community,” Melissa said.

“We were so thankful for all the help in order to compete in the baseball tournament the week following the tornado.”

She said while the Hansens have inconveniences, such as putting 1,000 miles a week on the family vehicles, she knows they are truly blessed.

The Hansens also sponsored another family on their own and Melissa said it’s important to show her children how crucial it is to give back and how truly thankful they are.

Council likely to vote on budget Monday

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet City Council could approve on Monday the proposed $289 million budget for 2016 – or not.

If not, the council could be meeting close to Christmas to finalize a budget before a Dec. 29 deadline.

“We are going to be here through the holiday season because we need to get it done,” Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said.

The council has rejected two measures proposed by City Manager Jim Hock to increase revenues: a 5 percent raise in the property tax worth $1.6 million and an increase in the real estate transfer tax worth $1.1 million.

Hock said he has adjusted the budget to dig deeper into savings to replace the revenue the taxes would have raised.

He also added $700,000 in revenue from an increase in ambulance fees previously approved by the council.

Hock had not originally put any revenue in the budget from the fee increase, saying it was uncertain how much money it would produce.

It was added after the council rejected the increase in the real estate transfer tax and councilman Jim McFarland insisted the budget should reflect some revenue from the fee increase. The $700,000 is based on previous revenue estimates on what the fee increase would generate.

That will still leave a $6.4 million deficit, Hock said.

The version of the budget presented Monday will propose covering the deficit with funds from the city’s reserve account.

O’Dekirk said he believes there will be a vote on the budget Monday.

“We are going to be here through the holiday season because we need to get it done.”

So does councilman Michael Turk, chairman of the Finance Committee.

“I think we’re ready to vote,” Turk said. “If someone’s not happy with one particular part of the budget, we can vote on that separately.”

Issues that Turk thinks may be singled out for separate votes are: funding for the Rialto Square Theatre and Joliet Area Historical Museum; closing Fire Station No. 3; and outsourcing more city legal work while cutting posi-

Will County candidates Guerrero, Strong lose petition challenges

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – The Democratic primary race for Will County circuit clerk was narrowed to two candidates Friday after a three-member board unanimously ruled that candidate Barbara Guerrero did not obtain enough valid signatures to appear on the March ballot.

The Will County Officers Electoral Board also ruled in the same manner Friday in the case of Sinatra Strong, a candidate running for Will County Board District 3 whose nominating papers were challenged

by Richard Gougis III. Strong and Guerrero were not present at Friday’s meeting. Both have the option of seeking judicial review of the decision.

In the case of Guerrero, the board ruled she fell 33 short of the 666 signatures needed to get on the ballot.

Thirty-eight of the 78 signa-

tures obtained by Strong were deemed invalid by the Officers Electoral Board. Strong needed at least 59 to get on the ballot.

With Guerrero off the ballot, candidates Andrea Chasteen and Robert Enright will be the only two Democrats running in the party’s March primary.

Chasteen has been endorsed by Circuit Clerk Pam McGuire, who has decided not to seek a sixth term.

With Strong off the ballot, incumbent County Board members Elizabeth Rice and Donald Moran will run uncontested in both primary and general elections as two candidates are picked in each district.

Guerrero, a deputy clerk in McGuire’s office, on Wednesday accused her opponents of personally targeting her for elimination.

She said Derrick E. Barry, the Naperville man who filed the challenge, is the wife of Leslie Barry, director of human

resources in McGuire’s office.

Guerrero said she believes Chasteen and the Barrys worked together to kick her off the ballot.

“There was no reason for him to challenge me. He just did it because his wife works in the Circuit Clerk’s Office. ...

I honestly believe they think I was a threat to the election,” Guerrero said. “She used her husband to get me off the ballot.”

Leslie and Derrick Barry were present at Friday’s hearing.

“That had nothing to do with it,” said Leslie Barry, who confirmed her employment in McGuire’s office. “It was to uphold the integrity of the election.”

Chasteen did not return a phone call requesting comment Friday afternoon.

Marlene M. Carlson, a Republican, also is running for circuit clerk, but he will be uncontested in the primary.

tions in the legal department.

Only one of those issues has received much attention at meetings so far. That is the $600,000 in funding for the Rialto Square Theatre, although only councilman Larry Hug has been contesting the money. Hug has indicated he will want a separate vote on Rialto and museum funding.

Even if the council rejects some parts of the budget Monday, it could still take a final vote, Hock said.

The council is scheduled to meet at 5:30 p.m. Monday in City Hall for the budget hearing, which also includes a vote on the property tax levy.

The revised budget leaves the property tax rate the same, although Turk has noted that individual tax payments can go up if the assessed value of a property increases.

Key budget issues Items that may be singled out for separate votes: n Rialto Square Theatre funding: $600,000 n Joliet Area Historical Museum funding: $275,000 n Closing Fire Station No. 3: estimated to save $1.2 million in overtime costs n Reduce staff lawyers and outsource more legal work

Joliet police looking for answers in Aurora man’s shooting death

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police still are investigating the shooting death of an Aurora man who was killed Wednesday in Joliet.

Deputy Joliet Police Chief Al Roechner said early Friday afternoon there are no suspects in the killing of Jeevit Rai, 20, who was shot near Jam Food Mart, 105 S. Briggs St. Witnesses heard shots Wednesday outside the store.

Rai came into the store, told the clerk he had been shot and asked for an ambulance before collapsing, police said.

He was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, where he was pronounced dead.

An autopsy Thursday showed Rai died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Police contact information Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to call police at 815-724-3020 or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734.

Roechner said no witnesses have come forward to the police about the incident.

“The more calls, the more people know things, the better,” he said.

The police are canvassing the area around the scene, he said.

Rai was born in Ukraine and was once arrested by Aurora police on a charge of aggravated assault. A bicycle was found in the store’s parking lot and detectives believe Rai was riding it before the shooting.

PLAINFIELD – Two Plainfield high school basketball teams competed Friday to raise money for children of a teacher who was killed in October.

The spirited rivalry between the Plainfield East and North teams was seen by some at the game as a sign of the community coming together for a common cause: gathering money for the children of slain North teacher Sue Cunningham.

Cunningham was killed Oct. 20 in her home by her husband, Craig Cunningham, who then killed himself by walking into traffic on Interstate 55. She was 47.

Friday’s game is one of two planned to raise money for her children. The next game will be Feb. 5 at East.

“I was very excited seeing everyone come together,” said Lisa Simon, an East special education teacher.

Simon was selling purple T-shirts, rally towels and neck-

North teams saw the charity game as an example of how the Plainfield community can work together.

“It shows how big of an impact Trip had here,” said Mike Kneip, North sophomore basketball coach.

Cunningham was known as “Ms. Triplett” to her students and “Trip” to her colleagues.

Since Cunningham’s death, the community has honored her life in an October candlelight vigil, where she was remembered for her “Trip’s Tips” and commitment to students’ health.

Cunningham taught at Plainfield Central from 2002 to 2006 before transferring to North. She grew up in Naperville and worked for the American Red Cross before becoming a teacher.

A GoFundMe fundraiser also was started to provide for her children’s future needs.

The fundraiser has collected $32,525 so far.

Keeping busy, doing good over the holidays Community centers, YMCAs offer activities during winter break in Will, Grundy counties

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Alvin Loggins has been coming to the Boys & Girls Club of Joliet since he was 6 years old.

The club has become a safe haven for him in a tough neighborhood.

“It’s kept a lot of kids from going with violence,” Loggins said.

Now 17, Loggins acts as a mentor to the younger children while also being a part of the close-knit family at the club, which is a United Way organization.

Employees and volunteer mentors form a special bond with each other, with the volunteers getting initiated by the children when they start calling their mentors “clubbers.”

Club Executive Director Kahlil Diab said winter break from school means kids in

low-income areas around Joliet and in surrounding communities have much more time to spare, more time to get bored, and the possibility of negative influences, such as gangs, can creep in.

“We’re open extended hours during break,” Diab said. “And we’re so cheap. But we never turn away a kid over money.”

Starting Monday, the club will begin winter break hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During the school year, the club is open from 2 to 6 p.m. weekdays, but over any type of break from school, including winter and summer breaks, the club is open longer.

For a $50 yearlong membership, children can enjoy a basketball court, pool table room, game room, movie theater, library, Olympic-size swimming pool and tutoring program, among other amenities offered by the club.

Or, parents can sign their kids up for a $20 per year after-school program, and a $30 summer break membership.

Reduced rates are considered for large families.

Two meals a day are included in the club’s membership.

Volunteering

When a person volunteers regularly at the club, he or she becomes part of the kids’ inner circle, Diab said.

“The club is a family,” said Ruben Chavez, a 2010 graduate of the University of St. Francis who found working with the club’s kids made him realize that all children need help.

Chavez said the club always could use more adult volunteers to play with the children, help them with homework and become mentors for them.

Volunteers are screened with background checks before they’re allowed to work with children. Those interest-

ed can call the club at 815-7233434.

Fitness over boredom

Several organizations in Will and Grundy counties also provide opportunities to avoid sitting at home with nothing to do during the holidays.

The only times the Greater Joliet Area YMCA locations are closed are Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Otherwise, locations in Morris, Plainfield and Joliet are open during regular hours. The locations close early at 1 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Many of the YMCA’s holiday programs have finished.

But all locations are offering a personal training special with a free session with the purchase of four using a special code found on their websites.

College students coming home can stay in shape with special winter break member-

ships offering unlimited access to their YMCA. The cost is $60 at the C.W. Avery Family YMCA, $45 at the Galowich Family and Smith Family YMCAs and $30 at the Morris Community YMCA. Ian Stewart, health and wellness director for the Morris YMCA, said while many people’s New Year’s resolution is to lose weight or keep weight off, it helps to start early.

“The perfect time to start is now,” Stewart said. “You want to get into the routine before the new year starts, and stay accountable by developing that routine and finding something you can enjoy.”

Stewart also said the gyms become crowded after New Year’s Eve. The C.W. Avery Family YMCA in Plainfield also is holding holiday dance classes starting Monday through Dec. 30. Those interested can sign up at www.jolietymca.org.

LOCAL BRIEFS LOCKPORT – A Lockport family began their morning Thursday with an unexpected visitor when an SUV drove through their bay window.

Police were dispatched at 7:58 a.m. to the 16600 block of Meadow Hill Lane after a Toyota RAV4 struck two houses on the street, according to Police Lt. Rich Harang.

The SUV was traveling west on 151st Street when it turned off

the road to the right, Harang said.

It struck the corner of the first home and continued into the bay window of the second, where it came to rest near the residents of the house. None of the family members were injured.

The driver, Jefferson Gole-Cruz, 29, of Orland Park was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox. According to Harang, Gole-Cruz told police he “blacked out” during the incident.

Gole-Cruz was cited with improper lane use for leaving the

road, according to Harang.

Richland School District refinances 2005 bonds

CREST HILL – Richland School District 88A has refinanced its 2005 bonds to give taxpayers $149,239 in present value savings over the next eight years.

The refinancing was finalized Dec. 4, nearly halving the bonds’ interest rates from 5.25 percent to 2.89 percent, according to a district news release.

The refunding generated $172,182 of debt service savings and 14.56 percent in savings for taxpayers, according to the release.

“The [school] board put out parameters. I believe it was from 8 to 9 percent savings,” Superintendent Michael Early said Friday.

“If we can get that, we would go ahead and refund the bonds.”

Early said district taxpayers will see more of those savings at the end of the bonds’ lifetime in 2023.

donates book proceeds to Lockport food pantry

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – About 40 years ago, Homer Glen resident Gloria Yorke said she wrote a story on the FISH Food Bank in Lockport as a freelance reporter for a Chicago newspaper.

That story had such an impact on Yorke, she said she decided to donate $500 from sales of a best-selling book she helped author, “The Midas Touch,” by Joe Vitale and Dan Lok. Yorke wrote a chapter of the book.

Yorke obtained copies of the book and sold them at a reduced Christmas-special price of $12, with all the proceeds going to the food pantry, located at 604 E. Ninth St. “I was shocked to hear how many people rely on them for

“I was shocked to hear how many people rely on them for food.”

Homer Glen resident food,” Yorke said.

She presented the check Thursday afternoon to food bank President Jim Naylor.

“This is a generous donation,” Naylor said. “It’s going to allow us to continue feeding hungry families. All donations go back into repurchasing of food.”

Naylor said monetary donations allow the food bank more flexibility. The nonprofit food pantry serves 250 families – about 1,000 people – a month.

qualities include being approachable, ability to collaborate well, honesty, integrity and good communication skills.

The search firm has 23 completed applications and nine that have not yet been submitted. After the meeting, board President Mike Brozovich said a slate of candidates should be presented in January, with interviews conducted in February and hopefully finalists in March.

2015 tax levy approved

The school board also approved the 2015 tax levy of $22.39 million.

The levy includes $14 million for educational purposes, $2.9 million for operations and maintenance, $1.4 million for transportation and $1.3 million for liability insurance.

The levy, according to Chief School Business Official John Troy, is a 0.97 percent increase over the 2014 levy and an 8.7 percent increase over the 2014

tax extension.

During the past five years, Troy said, the real tax extension revenue has been reduced by a compounded $14.8 million.

“And it’s a $4 million deficit we’re running now,” Troy said.

The levy is based in part on an estimated 4.5 percent increase in Will County equalized assessed value, Troy said, although that figure is before some exemptions and appeals.

On the first day of December, 2015 Albert Brass, Jr. successfully and officially completed the journey his parents, Albert Brass Sr. and Sarah D. Brass, had charted for him forty-two years ago. Albert has now fulfilled his parents hopes and dreams by completing the final leg of his academic trek by satisfying the academic requirements to earn his doctoral degree.

• Sunday, December 20, 2015

Albert, as you reflect upon this completed chapter of your life, remember how your parents devoted themselves to raising you and your sister, under religious priorities, social imperatives and instilled within the two of you a strong sense of self-confidence, integrity, compassion and family values. Equally important to your parents was that each of you would place an absolute value on the pursuit of a quality education.

Your father, who along with your mother encouraged your academic pursuit, planned to be by your side when you achieved this milestone. Although he was called home to be with the Lord in 1999, have no doubt that he will be there, the same as he was when your sister, Farrah, received her Juris Doctor Degree in law from the University of Illinois at Champaign in 2004.

En route to your academic goal, you met and married the love of your life, Missy (Griffin). Today you are the proud parents of five beautiful children; Dariyan Hopper, triplets Kennedi, Albert III, & Makenzie, and Brooklynne Brass. Through all of your schooling, you never lost sight of what was truly important, and your family will be there cheering for you as you walk across that stage.

Albert, you have embraced and demonstrated the importance and essential value inherent in pursuing and achieving a quality education. You have progressed with distinction through the first four stages of education: Elementary, Secondary, Undergraduate and Graduate School. Now, on December 19, 2015, all of your hard work and determination will culminate in the receiving of your Ed. D from the University of Saint Francis, in Joliet, Illinois.

Forty-two years ago, on the occasion of your birth, your father prophetically ascribed you the nickname “DOC”. You have achieved the status your father envisioned for you. Additionally, your academic accomplishment is the embodiment of both of your parent’s aspirations for you. Albert, you have always been called Doc. Now you have officially earned the title “DOCTOR”!”

Congratulations, Doctor Albert Brass, Jr., Ed. D, we are all proud of you.

Momma, Farrah and Jeffery

MORRIS – Two adults, three children, a cat and a dog were displaced Friday morning when a structure fire broke out in the attic of their Second Avenue home, according to Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District Chief Tracey Steffes.

“Upon the arrival of the first fire company, light smoke was coming from the attic space and eaves of the residence,” Steffes said in a news release.

Firefighters who responded to the 8:22 a.m. call found a smoldering fire in the attic. After opening the concealed spaces in the attic they found the fire had burned several of the structural pieces of the ceiling.

Steffes said in the news release that the fire was contained to the living room ceiling, and it was believed to have started from an electrical short.

Morris firefighters were assisted by Minooka, Coal City, Channahon, Lisbon and Seneca fire agencies and Morris police.

The Red Cross was notified to provide assistance to the family, as were Operation St. Nick board members to help provide Christmas assistance.

“There is never a good time to have a fire; however, it is extra emotional for a family during the holiday season,” Steffes said in the release.

The damage is estimated to be about $30,000.

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Edible medical marijuana made its Illinois debut Saturday, ending a wait for patients who prefer eating to inhaling. To some, cannabis-infused foods seem milder than smoke or vapor, but the products carry their own risks.

It takes longer to feel the effects when marijuana is eaten, so it’s easy to eat too much with unpleasant – or

be manufactured by licensed cultivation centers, the same businesses growing cannabis in locked indoor facilities.

Ataraxia shipped marijuana chocolates to two dispensaries, which will start selling them Saturday, Morreale said.

The square-inch chocolates contain 10 milligrams of THC, marijuana’s leading active ingredient, and come in three flavors: milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate-raspberry.

They’ll be priced at $7 to $9 per square.

“We taste it blank so it has a good flavor foundation,” Ataraxia chef Joseph Pierro said. “We have not tasted it with the [cannabis] oil, but we’re confident flavor will be there strong and true.”

Regulated pot sales began Nov. 9 in Illinois, but companies didn’t have edibles ready until now. Other cultivation centers reached by The Associated Press said they will ship edibles starting in Janu-

ary or February.

Dispensaries are required to provide information about the various forms and methods of cannabis administration, and possible side effects.

The Illinois Department of Public Health is drafting guidance for patients regarding edible forms of cannabis and will distribute shortly, state officials said. The state already requires warnings on the products meant to distinguish them from regular candy and food.

A thank you to all the hospice nurses and family that helped in her final days. Special thanks to Marilyn and Hannah.

She was born in 1916 in Waterloo, Iowa, and passed just 10 days short of her 99th birthday. As a child she briefly moved to Bremen, Germany. She arrived back in the States on March 30, 1927, at Ellis Island, New York, from Bremerhaven, Germany with her parents Carl and Theresa (Plaiser) Webbeking, and siblings Elfrieda, Otto, Karl, Vernon, Albert, and Ewald, on the steamship named Stuttgart and was raised in Waterloo, Iowa.

She graduated Drake University with an R.N. degree in 1936 and a Master’s degree in English and an R.N. degree from Minnesota University when she returned from the army after the war.

She loved her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. Dorothy was a great cook and loved to garden and was a Garden Club member in Lockport. She crocheted and was known for knitting “scrubbies”.

She sewed clothes for the kids and others. She took up painting and her art is distributed among her children and friends. An avid newspaper, book and magazine reader she was very political and could debate on all current events. And she loved to tell war stories from her years in WWII. Between 1941 and 1946 she served in the U.S. Army as a nurse.

She served as a surgical nurse stateside for 20 months at Ft. Leonard Wood, Lincoln Air Base and Camp Kilmer. Then in February, 1943 she served as an operating

room nurse in the 11th Evacuation Hospital, a mobile medical unit, moving throughout North Africa, Italy, Sicily, Southern France and Germany. She was decorated with the American Defense Ribbon, American Theatre Ribbon, EAME Theatre Ribbon, 1 Silver Battle Star, 2 Bronze Battle Stars, Bronze Service Arrowhead, 5 Overseas Service Bars and the Victory Medal. Battles and campaigns included: Tunisian; Sicilian; Naples-Foggia; Rome-Arno; Southern France; Rhineland; Central Europe. She was at The Battle of the Bulge, the D-Day Invasion and Anzio. During her service she met King Zaad of Albania, a Spitfire pilot for the British Air Force; met Pope Pius 12; met Josephine Baker; had a dinner date with Douglas Fairbanks Jr.; flew a Cargo plane; earned the nickname “Moonbeam”; and, shot a 50 caliber machine gun on a Swedish ship. She left the service as a LT 1st Class on February 21, 1946.

She often was called upon by schools and groups to talk about her time in the service. She later served as a VFW Post Adjutant in Lockport.

After her graduation from Minnesota University she became a home healthcare nurse until 1949. She married William Worst in 1948. Bill passed away in September, 2000.

Starting in 1956 and through 1981 she worked at Silver Cross Hospital as an R.N.; I.C.U. Director; Coronary Clinic Specialist; taught in the S.C.H. School of Nursing; Fire and Disaster Safety Coordinator; EKG Instructor; CPR Instructor; and House Supervisor.

She volunteered in the Hospital Medical Library. She was an Encore Shop president and volunteer and was on the Advisory Board at S.C.H. Dorothy was a long time member of the King’s Daughters, the founding

organization of Silver Cross Hospital.

She also served as President of the American Heart Association of Illinois. Dorothy was a member of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Lockport.

She was featured in Lockport’s History Scavenger Hunt this past summer and was the Lockport Memorial Day Parade’s Grand Marshall.

She had style, enjoyed life to the fullest and was happiest when helping others.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Vernon, Karl, Ewald, Otto; and sister, Elfrieda.

Her brother Albert survives with his wife, Elaine in Waterloo, Iowa.

Also surviving are her and Bill’s children, Sally (Chris) Birkbeck, Cindy (Skip) Lanham, Sandy (Gilbert) Mitchell, and Marc Worst; four grandchildren, Heather, Jesse, Michelle, and Sarah; many great-grandchildren.

Donations in lieu of flowers, please, to a charity of your choice or TNR Animal Shelter.

“As exciting as bringing edibles to market is, we want to make sure that every patient takes small portions, and wait at least an hour before taking more, until you understand and get comfortable with consuming medical cannabis in its edible forms,” said Ross Morreale, owner of Ataraxia, an Illinois company with marijuana chocolates hitting the market.

Pondering Illinois’ PARCC test results The idea behind the statewide PARCC tests, whose scores were released earlier this month, is sound.

Too many Illinois public school students go through school without gaining the requisite knowledge and skills needed for careers and college by the time they graduate.

For example, a common concern is that employers find numerous applicants deficient in what they need to know to succeed on the job.

If those deficiencies can be better identified early on, schools should then be able to take steps to remediate that lack of knowledge and skill before sending those students out into the world.

Apparently the state’s previous tests, such as the Prairie State Achievement Examination, which includes the ACT, and the Illinois State Achievement Test, failed to satisfactorily assess career and college preparedness.

Hence, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers test was developed, and the state signed a four-year contract last year for Pearson Education Inc. to administer it at a cost of $160 million. The test was first administered to Illinois students this past spring.

The fact that results were not available for nearly half a year is worrisome, but it sounds like smoother test administration and scoring should be expected for future years. The statewide average of students who met or exceeded expectations on the PARCC test was 33 percent, which doesn’t seem to be all that good.

Locally, there are some school districts that were above that, including Plainfield School District 202 scoring 38 percent, Lockport Township 205 at 42 percent and Morris Community High School at 46 percent.

Most administrators local-

AMENDMENT

ly view the scores as merely a baseline from which to measure future progress. Several noted the challenges of PARCC, such as it being a new test with more challenging standards than past exams. Some of them also said the test covered materials and skills students have not learned yet.

We can sympathize with the difficulty of trying to hit a moving target, as this latest in a progression of statewide tests seems to represent.

Because the new scores can’t be compared to previous PSAE and ISAT scores, it may well take several years to discover the PARCC exam’s actual value to local educators and students.

The Illinois State Board of Education notes the new exam “is a drastically different test that uses extended tasks and technology-enhanced items to more accurately measure students’ critical thinking, problem solving, and writing skills” – skills where some students fall short.

More than one educator in Illinois has pointed out students who take the statewide test know its results won’t count against them, and thus may not be motivated to do the best they can. Be that as it may, the PARCC test is what public schools are stuck with for at least three more years.

The problem of high school graduates who are poorly prepared for careers and college still exists.

Our state has contracted to spend $160 million to identify problem areas so that students can get help. That money should not be allowed to go to waste.

If PARCC doesn’t exactly hit the mark, educators, parents and students shouldn’t discount what it is trying to do – help produce students who are better prepared for their futures. Its results should be vigorously used for that purpose.

Bush bests Trump in debate CNN sponsored the fifth and final Republican presidential debate of 2015 this past Tuesday, and it was full of bluster.

If you tuned in Tuesday, you likely came away thinking that the root of every problem in this country boils down to Barack Obama. And Hillary Clinton. Oh, and Chuck Schumer. Well, that’s according to the GOP presidential candidates, anyway.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush had his best debate showing yet – and it’s because he found a role to play. Bush seemed determined to take down GOP front-runner Donald Trump. He didn’t quite push Trump over the edge, but he badgered him repeatedly and seemed to get under his skin.

“He’s a chaos candidate, and he’d be a chaos president,” Bush said at one point.

In that exchange – like every other – Trump’s comeback was to belittle Bush. “[Jeb] said that very simply because he has failed in this campaign. ... Nobody cares.” Trump said.

Witness this next exchange, as Bush hit hard on one of Trump’s terrorism proposals – and talked over Trump.

“A little of your own medicine there,

VIEWS Donna Brazile Donald?” Bush said.

“I know you’re trying to build up your energy, Jeb, but it’s not working very well,” Trump replied, taking back the floor.

When he’d finished, Bush responded, “Donald, you’re not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency. That’s not going to happen.”

Later, Bush continued: “Leadership is not about attacking people and disparaging people. Leadership is about creating a serious strategy to deal with the threat of our time.”

The following day, appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Bush said he was “pleased” to have taken Trump on and revealed his weaknesses. “His policies, what he’s advocated, just won’t do it,” Bush said. “And I was pleased to be able to point that out. ... And I think I won.”

Bernie Sanders/Truth to Power

To the Editor: Bernie Sanders at the second Democratic presidential debate spoke truth to power when he articulated “that any sensible person” realizes the connection between the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and its catastrophic destabilization of the Middle East.

The G.W. Bush administration was imbued with a commitment to regime change and a desire to control the world’s oil supply. This policy, as Sanders described, has historical precedents. The U.S. was instrumental in bringing down governments in Iran (1953), in Guatemala (1954), and in Chile (1973), et al.

Bernie Sanders was one of the few congressmen who voted against a war that was justified on the basis of half-truths and outright lies. Per The Guardian: More than 4,800 American soldiers died. The Iraqi death toll is over 150,000. The underlying economic, cultural, political and social forces that have created millions of

Improve vetting process for immigrants

To the Editor: Within hours of the terrorist attack in California, President Barack Obama called for tougher gun safety laws.

Since there is no such thing as gun safety laws, what he’s really saying is “tougher gun control.” Gun safety is taught in a classroom by certified firearms instructors. President Obama obviously thinks that the American people are too stupid to realize he is attempting to pass gun control under the guise of gun safety.

San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook was born in the United States.

He was a government employee and he did not have a criminal record.

He obtained his firearms legally and he passed the required background checks. His wife, Tashfeen, was allowed into this country after she had been vetted by the federal government. However, after this horrific terrorist act was committed, it was discovered she had lied on her application to enter this country. How was she vetted when they didn’t even check her address? Obviously, the vetting process to enter this country is seriously flawed.

You have to own this one, Mr. President, because the individuals you put in place to vet the people applying for entry into this country failed to do their job.

So before you call for tougher gun control laws or attempt to use your executive powers to violate my Second Amendment rights, you should do the sensible and proper thing by using your executive powers to enact a tougher and better vetting process.

We need smart, and Trump isn’t • BRAZILE

Continued from page 34 Trump’s frailty all along has been, like 2012 presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s, an unwillingness to do homework on the issues. It showed in this debate, the most robust and substantive of the Republican debates so far.

Hugh Hewitt, talk show host on the Salem Radio Network, asked Trump, “What’s your priority among our nuclear triad?” In other words, among our three methods of nuclear defense – missiles, bombers and submarines – which one of these would Trump make, as commander in chief, the top priority?

Trump gave a rambling, all-overthe-map, confused answer, clearly being without knowledge about our nation’s decades-long nuclear defense strategy. Hewitt, a little dumbfounded, repeated the question.

Hewitt: “Of the three legs of the triad, though, do you have a priority?

I want to go to Senator [Marco] Rubio after that and ask him.”

Trump: “I think, I think, for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is very important to me.”

Hewitt: “Senator Rubio, do you have a response?”

Rubio: “I do. First, let’s explain to people at home who the triad ... what the triad is. Maybe a lot of people haven’t heard that terminology before.”

Rubio was too kind. Trump clearly never had heard “that terminology” before. Rubio very cleverly avoided the temptation of pointing out Trump’s ignorance on the subject, but Trump’s ignorance was blatantly obvious. Rubio ended up looking like he was being magnanimous to Trump, which is the most humiliating thing he could have done to him.

Rubio then ran rings around Trump

on a vital, essential matter that any candidate for president should have been well-informed about.

Trump revealed more weakness in being unable to grasp that his all-Muslim ban would be detrimental to our national security. He apparently hasn’t a clue that Muslim nations are our strongest Middle East allies in the war against extremist terrorists. This is so fundamental to our security that Bush called Trump “unhinged” for proposing it.

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked Bush exactly what about Trump’s ban on Muslims was “unhinged.”

“If we’re going to ban all Muslims, how are we going to get them to be part of a coalition to destroy ISIS?” Bush replied. “The Kurds are the greatest fighting force and our strongest allies.

They’re Muslim. Look, this is not a serious proposal. ... So Donald, you know, is great at ... at the one-liners, but ... He would not be the commander in chief we need to keep our country safe.”

“What bothers me is our party will win if we have a hopeful optimistic message,” he said the next day on CNN’s “New Day.” “And I don’t think he does.”

Trump doesn’t have an optimistic message. He portends doom. He lacks a plan. All he has is a Mohammad Ali “I’m the greatest” pitch, which is good for the fight ring, but disastrous for the Oval Office.

In fact, Trump reminds me of when Ali flunked the written part of the selective service draft: “I said I was, ‘The Greatest,’ ” Ali told reporters. “I never said I was the smartest.”

We need smart in the White House.

To the Editor: We are in a nation that has been gravely affected by horrific acts of violence over the past decades. In my humble opinion, these evildoers and their incredibly horrible acts will never deter or break our great country’s will in any way, shape or form.

We are an absolutely wonderfully diverse nation that inevitably will survive and thrive with God’s grace, fortitude and a lot of prayer.

God bless the United States of America and all of our dedicated citizens who make us the greatest nation on Earth.

Sincerely,

unemployed, dysfunctional governments, alienation, humiliation, and starvation are ignored as drones and serial bombing drown out the voices of anger and despair.

Bernie Sanders is the only presidential candidate with the intellectual acumen, the principled honesty, and the determination to talk truth to power.

His poignant message is that a transforming evolution of values is necessary if we are to live together as brothers and sisters instead of obliterating each other as squabbling fools.

Carried interest Home Instead delivers gifts and hedge funds The HERALD–NEWS

Dear Mr. Berko: Please explain carried interest, which some of the presidential candidates are talking about.

I know it has something to do with hedge funds (and I’m not sure what hedge funds are) and is taxed differently than interest I get from my Fidelity bond fund. What’s the big deal about this? – PD, Minneapolis Dear PD: Hedge funds are

mutual funds on steroids and immune to most of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s enforcement rules. Hedge funds are like open pit latrines, fouling every room they’re in. Hedge funds manage money for the very rich so the very rich can make even more money.

Managers move money around using exotic algorithms, computer-driven trading programs, complex option positions and other kinky strategies in hopes of generating enormous yields. And those yields must be double- and triple-digit returns because the wealthy who use those latrines believe it’s their entitlement. Hedge funds contribute nothing to our gross domestic product.

Hedge funds are playthings for the rich, and the rich on Wall Street are not subject to the same rules as those of us on Main Street. So at the close of 2014, wealthy Americans had about $2.6 trillion invested in hedge funds, which is an average of about $8,000 for every U.S. citizen. And one of the best reasons for managing a hedge fund is that most of the enormous fees earned by the general partners (managers) are not taxed at the maximum 39.6 percent rate.

Rather, those fees are treated as a business investment and taxed at the long-term capital gains rate of 20 percent. So the 25 fortunate hedge fund managers who each took more than $1 billion in fees in 2014 only

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko paid $200,000 in taxes on each billion. Now there are 7,716 hedge funds, and those managers who only made a few hundred million in fees also paid 20 percent in taxes.

If these guys paid taxes like real Americans, the Treasury would have been richer last year by $18 billion. Read on.

Hedge fund managers have a fee structure that’s called a 2-and-20. The general partner takes 2 percent of the fund’s total market value as a management fee. Then, at the end of the fiscal year, the GP earns an additional 20 percent of all gains earned over a benchmark index, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, the Russell 2000 index or the U.S. Treasury bond index. The 2 percent is taxed as ordinary income at 39.6 percent, whereas the 20 percent fee that accrues to the GP as an incentive is deemed carried interest and taxed at the long-term capital gains rate of 20 percent.

Carried interest is not interest income like one receives from a bond. Rather, it’s a claim of the GP or manager for performance. Powerful lobbyists in Washington, D.C., persuaded Congress to characterize the carried interest fee as capital gains rather than a fee for services.

And during election time, we can be sure as shootin’ that the super PACs controlled by members of Congress will debouch with tens of millions of hedge fund dollars. And those donations are so sweetly deductible. What a deal!

JOLIET – The annual Be a Santa to a Senior program again provided gifts to lonely or financially-challenged seniors in the Will County area.

The program has attracted upward of 60,000 volunteers. Since introducing the Be a Santa to a Senior program 11 years ago, Home Instead Senior Care has helped provide 1.2 million gifts to more than 700,000 seniors.

This year, the local Home Instead Senior Care office serving Will County and South Cook County, collected gifts for nearly 200 local seniors during its 11th annual Be a Santa to a Senior.

Local businesses included Jewel-Osco in Shorewood, Jewel-Osco in New Lenox, First Midwest Bank in Joliet, Old Plank Trail Community Bank in Frankfort and The Inn at Willow Falls in Crest Hill.

Seniors in need were identified by professional contacts at Catholic Charities, Joshua Arms LSSI and Sunny Hill Skilled Nursing. Gifts were collected from Nov. 23 through Dec. 11 and delivery was completed Friday.

“Year after year we are touched by gift requests we receive. Many of the recipients are asking for dayto-day necessities such as

toilet paper, soap or canned goods,” Home Instead Senior Care franchise owner Courtney Pucel said. “Others are asking for clothing, bedding, gift cards and games. It is always touching to read the requests. This year we had a request for a bottle of merlot, which was a first. The generous gift giver bought her four bottles!”

Carter: Iraqi strike may be ‘mistake’ by 2 sides

ABOARD THE USS KEARSARGE – The American airstrike that may have killed a number of Iraqi soldiers on Friday seems to be “a mistake that involved both sides,” U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Saturday. Iraq pledged to punish those responsible.

Speaking to reporters during a visit to the USS Kearsarge in the Persian Gulf, Carter said the incident near the western Iraqi city of Fallujah was “regrettable.” He called Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to express condolences.

“These kinds of things happen when you’re fighting side by side as we are,” Carter said. He said the airstrike Friday “has all the indications of being a mistake

of the kind that can happen on a dynamic battlefield.”

Iraq’s defense minister, Khalid al-Obeidi, told reporters in Baghdad, the Iraqi capital, that the strike killed one officer and nine soldiers. He said Iraq had begun an investigation and that the “wrongdoer would be punished according to Iraqi law.” He did not elaborate.

Security is focus at churches amid fears

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – In Alabama, a Presbyterian church wanted to be able to hire its own police for protection. Mosque leaders around the country are meeting with law enforcement officials as an anti-Muslim furor fuels arson attacks and vandalism. And the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been holding specialized training for congregations for “all hazards, including active shooter incidents.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations said 2015 is shaping up as the worst year ever for U.S. mosques, amid the backlash to the Islamic-extremist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and the intensifying anti-Muslim rhetoric from Donald Trump and others seeking the GOP presidential nomination. Preliminary 2015 data collected by the civil rights organization found 71 reported cases of vandalism, harassment and threats, with 29 of those incidents occurring since the Nov. 13 assaults in France.

Bernie Sanders speaks Saturday during a Democratic presidential primary debate at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H.

Sanders apologizes to Clinton, supporters for data breach

By LISA LERER and JULIE PACE The Associated Press

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Bernie Sanders apologized to Hillary Clinton and his own supporters Saturday night for a breach of her campaign’s valuable voter data, seeking to put the controversy to rest in a debate that quickly moved on to national security concerns and Americans’ heightened fear of terrorism.

Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, kept an eye on the general election, sharply criticizing Donald Trump’s plan to ban Muslims from entering the United States. She called the leader of the GOP race the Islamic State’s “best recruiter.”

“Mr. Trump has a great capacity to use bluster and bigotry to inflame people,” said Clinton, the former secretary of state.

Clinton and Sanders, her closest challenger, entered Saturday night’s debate in the midst of one of their fiercest fights – about the campaign itself rather than a national

or international issue. Clinton’s campaign accused Sanders’ team of stealing information used to target voters and anticipate what issues might motivate them. In response to the breach, the Democratic National Committee temporarily cut off Sanders’ team’s access to its own data, a move the Vermont senator said Saturday was an “egregious act.”

Still, Sanders said his staff had acted improperly.

“This is not the type of campaign that we run,” he said.

Sanders’ campaign fired a worker involved in the breach but also used the controversy to raise money, sending an email to supporters that said the national party had placed “its thumb on the scales in support of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.”

Clinton quickly accepted the apology Saturday night, saying, “We should move on because I don’t think the American people are all that interested in this.”

The debate, lasting more than two hours, was the third for Democrats and was

expected to have low viewership given that it was scheduled on the last weekend before Christmas when many Americans have turned their attention to the holidays. It came as Clinton has solidified her standing atop the field, shaking off a rocky start and the controversy about her use of private email at the State Department.

Clinton and Sanders were joined on stage by former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who has struggled to be a factor in the race. O’Malley was aggressive in seeking to play a role in the debate, repeatedly talking over moderators and accusing his rivals of having outdated views on foreign policy.

In a heated exchange on gun control, O’Malley accused both Clinton and Sanders of having a “flip-flopping, political approach” to the contentious issue.

Clinton also defied moderators’ efforts to cut her off at times, leading Sanders to call out, “Now this is getting to be fun.”

Search and rescue crews work Saturday after an avalanche hit several houses in Longyearbyen, Norway. It is unclear how many people were caught in the avalanche, but authorities are calling for volunteers with shovels to help in the search to locate victims.

Avalanche hits Norway’s Arctic Svalbard archipelago, 1 dead

By JAN M. OLSEN

The Associated Press COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Rescue workers used shovels, excavators, search dogs and powerful lamps to dig through tons of snow in total darkness Saturday after an avalanche smashed into houses on the remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, killing one man and sending nine other people to the hospital.

The avalanche tumbled down about 11 a.m. Saturday from Sukkertoppen Mountain into Longyearbyen, the main settlement on Svalbard, shoving houses off their foundations, flipping cars and burying people under yards of snow.

About 100 emergency workers and volunteers, packed in warm clothes because of the below-freezing temperatures, rushed to the scene, and at least one woman was reported to have been dug out of the snow.

During the winter, the remote archipelago, which lies midway between continental Norway and the North Pole,

plunges into darkness. The sun does not show above the horizon from late November to mid-February.

“This is a very serious situation and we already have a tragic outcome,” Svalbard Governor Kjerstin Askholt told Norwegian broadcaster NRK. “We still have no complete overview.”

One local man in his 40s died and nine other people were hospitalized, including four children, Longyearbyen hospital spokesman Per-Christian Johansen told The Associated Press. He said two of the children and one adult were in serious condition.

In all, 10 houses were hit by the avalanche and dozens of other houses at the foot of Sukkertoppen were evacuated as a precaution, said the governor’s spokeswoman, Tone Hertzberg.

The avalanche let loose a day after a huge storm hit the archipelago Friday night – one that the local paper called the worst in 30 years, with winds up to 60 mph. Hertzberg said “it would be logical” to

assume the avalanche was connected to the storm.

Frank Jakobsen, a resident of Longyearbyen, told the Svalbardposten daily the avalanche was so powerful, it had moved several houses and had poured tons of snow into others in the town of 2,000 people.

He saw people carrying out 44-year-old Anne Kristin Jakobsen, who had been buried alive under the snow but had banged on a microwave oven to get the attention of rescue workers, according to the daily. Jakobsen was among those hospitalized.

Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg wrote on Twitter that authorities were following the situation closely and “all available resources are mobilized.” Extra medical staff were sent in from Tromsoe on the Norwegian mainland.

The fierce storm Friday night also ripped off the roof of a school in Longyearbyen, sending it flying onto a soccer field. It forced the airport there to close Friday but by Saturday afternoon it had reopened.

SANAA, Yemen – Fierce fighting and airstrikes by a Saudi-led coalition pounded northern Yemen on Saturday, as the two main parties in the country’s conflict continued to violate a ceasefire agreement and undermine already tenuous peace talks in Switzerland.

The clashes in Hajjah Province near the Saudi border between rebel-allied units and pro-government Yemeni forces have killed more than 75 over the past three days, Yemeni security officials and witnesses said.

The dead included more than 40 rebels and 35 government troops, with 50 wounded on the rebel side and dozens wounded on the government side. Dozens of tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, according to the witnesses and security officials, who remain neutral in the conflict that has splintered the Arab world’s poorest country.

The government troops advanced across the border from Saudi territory after training there for months, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to brief reporters.

Yemen’s fighting pits the internationally recognized government backed by a Saudi-led, U.S.-supported coalition against the rebels, known as Houthis, who are allied with a former president and backed by Iran. Local affiliates of al-Qaida and the Islamic State group have exploited the chaos to grab land and exercise influence.

According to U.N. figures, the war in Yemen has killed at least 5,884 people since March, when fighting escalated after the Saudi-led coalition began launching airstrikes targeting the rebels.

Fighting in Yemen has continued despite a weeklong cease-fire agreement that went into effect on Tuesday. By Wednesday, at least 42 people had been killed in clashes along several front lines, underscoring the difficulties of achieving progress

at the U.N.-brokered peace talks in the Swiss village of Macolin.

On Friday, the Yemeni rebel delegation suspended meetings with the internationally recognized government in protest over its cease-fire violations. The Houthis said they would not resume talks unless the U.N. condemned breaches by government forces, delegates at the talks told AP. A member of the Houthi delegation said U.N. special envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed had “promised to condemn the government and then he did not.”

A government delegate said: “They are using the ceasefire as an excuse although they were the first to break it.” Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

The U.N. has urged all factions in the conflict to end the violence and is pressing to keep the talks going.

By late Saturday night, the continued combat was already impacting the negotiations. The Houthis had earlier agreed to permit humanitarian aid deliveries into the besieged city of Taiz as well as the cities of Saada and also Hajjah, the capital of the province where the fresh fighting was taking place.

But the rebels then canceled a planned release of five high-profile prisoners they had agreed to earlier in the day as a measure of good will, as well as their decision to lift the siege of Taix, Houthi and pro-government officials at the talks said.

The five prisoners, including Defense Minister Mahmoud Subaihi and Gen. Nasser Mansour Hadi, brother of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, were to have been handed over to the Red Cross on Saturday.

But officials at the talks from the Houthi delegation as well as from the government side said the Houthis would not release the prisoners unless the U.N. consolidates the cease-fire. The participants spoke anonymously since they were not authorized to brief reporters.

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET WEST 80, LINCOLN-WAY EAST 67

Tigers win ugly against Griffins

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media Correspondent FRANKFORT – When a team goes 4 of 19 from beyond the 3-point line, shoots 50 percent from the charity stripe and commits 19 turnovers, you wouldn’t expect a win.

But that was not the case Friday, as Joliet West did all of the above and came away with a 80-67 victory over Lincoln-Way East in a SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue matchup.

“That was ugly basketball,” Tigers coach Nick DiForti said. “We play to get the turnover, which we did tonight, but then we have to learn not to turn it right back over. It was sloppy play for both teams tonight. And East tried to slow us down, but our kids hung in there and battled the entire game.

We play a lot of kids – they are young and learning each night out.”

West (7-1, 2-1) was leading, 32-29, with 1:32 to go before

“We play to get the turnover, which we did tonight, but then we have to learn not to turn it right back over. It was sloppy play for both teams tonight.”

Joliet West boys basketball coach the half, but then Teyvion Kirk scored five of his teamhigh 20 points with the Tigers’ first 3-pointer of the half and then a field goal, before Trevian Bell hit a shot at the buzzer to give the Tigers a 39-30 halftime lead.

“It was a very sloppy game tonight,” Kirk said.

“But we got the job done. We got out of school really early today, played this game early, and I think that got us out of our routine.”

The shooting came back for the Tigers in the third quarter, as they outscored East (3-5, 1-2), 24-15, to take a 63-45 lead into the fourth quarter and essentially wrap

up the win.

West forced the Griffins to turn the ball over 13 times in the first half and added 11 more in the second half.

“It’s hard to run any type of organized offense against them,” East coach Rich Kolimas said. “If you’re not fundamentally sound, you will look very ugly. We are very young, and they can do that to you. The end of the second and the entire third quarter, they started to hit their shots, and that was it. They have a very talented team and will have success this year.”

The Tigers added three more players in double figures, as Bell ended with 16

points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Eddie Creal chipped in 13 points, and Elijah Ward had 11 points and seven rebounds.

“This was a good bounceback win for us after the Stagg loss,” DiForti said.

“Defensively, we really got after it; and with the style that we play offensively, we will give up some points. We have to do a better job at the free-throw line, and we practice that every day.”

Neither team shot well from the free-throw line; West was 12 for 24, and East was 13 for 25.

Sophomore Sam Shafer had a career night, scoring 26 points for the Griffins.

Both teams are now off until after Christmas. West will be in the Pontiac Holiday Tournament, and East will play in the Romeoville Christmas Classic.

“We want to play well in Pontiac,” said Kirk. “We got that experience last year and know we want to play even better this year.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 71, CARMEL 61

Jackson leads JCA past Carmel in home opener

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Senior guard Jalen Jackson handed his mom and dad the plaque he received for scoring 1,000 or more points in his career at Joliet Catholic Academy, then went out and dropped 33 points on Carmel as the Hilltoppers won, 71-61, in Friday’s East Suburban Catholic Conference game.

“He really had a good game,” Joliet Catholic coach Joe Gura said. “I thought for Jalen’s standards, he played just average last week, and he knew it. And to his credit, he didn’t hang his head. He worked hard in practice, and he came back and had a hell of a game for us in all facets.”

Jackson’s game consisted of shooting 4 of 6 from the 3-point line, 9 of 11 from

“This was a big game for us, so I wanted to come out and set the pace right away.”

Jalen Jackson

Joliet Catholic senior guard the foul line, and 6 of 7 from inside the arc. Five of those six field goals were scored on slashing drives to the basket, including one underhanded scoop reverse layup.

“This was a big game for us, so I wanted to come out and set the pace right away.

I was just taking what the defense gave me,” Jackson said.

Jackson’s 33-point game was two points shy of his career-high of 35 points.

The Hilltoppers (5-2, 1-1)

and Corsairs (5-4, 0-2) were tied at 38 with 1:30 to play in the third quarter before Jackson put together a stretch that highlighted his talents.

He buried a 3-pointer to give the Hilltoppers a 4138 lead with 1:14 left in the quarter. He came out at the start of the fourth quarter and took the ball to the basket for a layup that made it 44-40 at the 7:46 mark, and his 3-pointer with 6:38 to play made it 49-43. Jackson extended JCA’s lead to 55-45 with 5:14 left with the underhanded scoop layup.

“It helped build momentum. As soon as we got the lead, it got loud, and it threw their game off. We were just trying to take advantage of every advantage we could get,” Jackson said of the crowd, which saw the Hill-

toppers at home for the first time this season.

Jackson had help from guard Harry Davis, who scored 11 points, and forward Pete Ragen, who scored nine points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Junior Donavan Finch came off the bench to score eight points.

“We won the rebound battle, and that was most important,” Gura said. “I thought our defense won the game for us in the second half. I thought we had a number of stops in the second half that we did not have in the first half, and then we started to get on a roll offensively and take good shots.”

The Hilltoppers finished the game shooting 23 of 48 from the field. Jackson shot 10 of 13 from the floor, while JCA outrebounded Carmel, 31 to 24.

BOYS BASKETBALL: SANDWICH 68, COAL CITY 44

Coal City falls at Sandwich

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com

SANDWICH – After Coal City boys’ basketball team fell to Sandwich, 68-44, in an Interstate Eight Conference game Friday, the next thing the Coalers look to is the Plano Christmas Classic.

Coal City begins action there Wednesday against No. 10-seeded Yorkville. This is the first time Keith Kiper will experience the tournament as Coal City’s coach.

“Yorkville is a tough draw and a tough team to beat,” Kiper said. “But it’s a fun tournament.

We are going to see a lot of good competition. It will be nice to get a look at teams other than the ones in our conference. We’ll come out and play hard.”

In Friday’s game, the Indians (4-6, 3-0) had a record night against Coal City (1-6, 0-3). Zac Dabbert set a new school record in 3-pointers with eight and ended up with 30 points. That included 13 points after the first quarter and 16 at halftime.

Dabbert hit three of his 3-pointers in the first, one in the second, two in the third and two in the fourth. He hit the eighth trey at the sound of the final buzzer. “(Dabbert) really filled it up,” Kiper said. “He shot the ball well. ... It was rough trying to come back from that. He hit tough shots in the second half.

He just couldn’t miss.”

With Sandwich up, 7-6, in the middle of the first quarter, the Indians went on a 13-0 run, led by Dabbert’s 10 points and a 3-pointer from Jordan Isham.

At the end of the first, Sandwich led, 20-8, and never allowed Coal City to get within double digits the rest of the game. By halftime, the Indians led, 35-19.

Coal City was led by Christian Johnson off the bench with 17 points and six rebounds as well as Ryan Horrie’s 12 points and five rebounds.

He had a team-high 15 points.

• Sunday, December 20, 2015 *

ROMEOVILLE – After being held scoreless for 12 minutes in the first quarter, the Romeoville boys basketball team needed a spark.

It came when Mike Salter hit a 3-pointer off a pass from Kahlil Blakney to tie the score at 25. Spartans coach Marc Howard kept yelling over the roaring crowd, “Don’t look back,” and his team listened.

Romeoville forced overtime and topped Southwest Prairie Conference foe Minooka, 48-42, in front of a noisy home crowd.

“We kept fighting,” senior forward Matt Cappelletti said.

“Our coach is always praising to keep fighting and keep battling in the fourth quarter. It’s the most important quarter.

We all came together and hit some shots, then we were back in the game.”

“When we came into this game, we knew that we were playing a good opponent,” Salter said. “They execute very well, rebound the ball very well, but coach did a real good job with having us know their plays because he studied them. We knew what they were going to do, which helped us out a lot of defense.

We couldn’t really get buckets in the first half; but once we started playing more defense, the offense just came.”

The Spartans (4-4, 2-1) started off the game with Blakney hitting a 3-pointer, then extended their lead 12-7 at the end of the first quarter.

Minooka’s strong defense helped contain Romeoville in the entire second quarter, and senior Joe Butler started scoring his points. Butler was the main offensive threat for the Indians (6-3, 2-1) and collected a game-high 20 points. Senior Larry Roberts added seven points, and junior Jon Butler chipped in with six.

“Minooka is an experienced team that played for a regional championship last year, and they’re well-coached. They do a great job over there,” Howard said. “I think that the physicality of the game and experience kind of took a toll on us in the second quarter.”

Romeoville started looking

Cappelletti said. “When I came in, I did what I had to do as a senior for my team to get back even closer in the game and eventually take the win.”

Salter’s 3-pointer was the turning point of the game, and his 4-of-4 shooting at the freethrow line put the nail in the coffin. The guard tallied 14 points – all in the second half – and made 6 for 6 free throws.

Even though he’s only a freshman, Salter said he didn’t feel any pressure. He just listened to his coaches, who told the whole team to be patient and not force their shots.

“When it’s there, it’s there,” he said. “When it’s not, it’s not. It just happened to be there tonight, and I was able to score and knock down the free throws when I got them.”

With Cappelletti on the bench, London Stamps kept driving to the basket to chip away at the deficit. His backto-back scores in the fourth put the Spartans to within 2522, and the sophomore guard’s basket gave them a 37-36 lead in the fourth. All of his 12 points came at key times.

Across the board, Romeoville played solid defensively and limited Minooka’s scoring.

“This was huge, because last week we lost by two to Oswego East,” Cappelletti said. “We wanted to be first in conference, and we just beat a team that was 2-0 in conference and hasn’t had a lot of losses. It just feels great. We’re about to get a couple of days rest, which will be great, and we’re looking forward to our next conference game, but first we have to take care of business in our Christmas tournament coming up.”

“We’re a young group. They need to see success,” Howard said. “They need to see that we can actually beat teams that are good. That’s one thing that we preached to them: believe, battle, fight, stay the course.

“That’s what that statement was. Don’t look back. You’re ahead. Believe in it and fight through it. They did a phenomenal job of that. I’m proud of them. This is just one victory that we will try to build from and try to continue to be successful.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 58, MORRIS 31

Warriors overcome slow start to top Redskins Morris’ Madi Mayberry goes around Lincoln-Way West’s Kaitlyn Mathews during Saturday’s game in the Ottawa Lady Pirate Christmas Classic.

The Redskins lost to the Warriors, 58-31.

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com OTTAWA – The schedule makers of the Ottawa Lady Pirate Christmas Classic didn’t do either the Morris or Lincoln-Way West girls basketball teams any favors this year, pitting the two against each other in the first game of the tourney at 9 a.m. Saturday.

For Lincoln-Way West, the difficulty was the early start time. For Morris, it was the early start time; having to play a team that was 9-1 coming in; the Redskins being short-handed at the guard position because of injuries; and having to face a team that prides itself on using pressure to create turnovers.

Morris was able to withstand the pressure early, taking a 14-13 lead at the end of the first quarter. In fact, it was only the outside shooting of Stephanie Athanasoulis that kept Lincoln-Way West close, making three 3-pointers in the first period.

Then, Lincoln-Way West’s pressure started to wear on the Redskins, and the Warriors’ points started pouring in. West (10-1) outscored Morris (2-8), 20-5, in the second quarter to take a 33-19 halftime lead and stretched it to 46-29 at the end of the third en route to a 58-31 win.

“Morris did a good job of slowing things down in the first quarter,” Lincoln-Way West coach Ryan White said.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@ shawmedia.com

“We weren’t getting many turnovers, and their length and quickness in their 1-3-1 defense made it hard to pass through.

“Stephanie [Athanasoulis] kept us in it early. Then, we were able to get some turnovers and get things going how we like them. We have had five different girls lead us in scoring in one game or another this year, so it’s nice to have that type of balance where if one option isn’t working, there are others to go to.”

Athanasoulis, who led all scorers with 17 points, got the game started with a 3-pointer

before Morris took a 4-3 lead on back-to-back baskets by Meghan Jurak (nine points) and Meghan Smith (team-high 13 points). West’s Tara Hastings (nine points) and Morris’ Jessica Jurak (four points, eight rebounds) traded baskets before Athanasoulis hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Warriors ahead, 11-6. Morris, however, closed the first quarter on an 8-2 run, getting put-back baskets from Madi Mayberry, Smith and Kayla Cryder in that stretch.

Unfortunately for the Redskins, they hit a cold spell in the second quarter, going

nine straight possessions without a basket, allowing the Warriors to pull away. During that run, Emily Atsinger (13 points) took over for West, as she scored 10 points in the second quarter to help vault the Warriors to a lead they never relinquished. Courtney O’Donnell (14 points) added five points in the second-quarter spurt.

“You take away that run where we went nine possessions in a row without a basket, and I thought we played pretty well,” Morris coach Kate Carey said. “If you would have told me that we would be

ahead at the end of the first quarter, I probably wouldn’t have believed it.

“These girls are really progressing game by game and making big strides that make me look forward to the second half of the season. We are asking some girls to do some things they aren’t used to doing because of our injuries, but they are getting better and better at it.”

With normal starting guards Rylee Harr and Mya Shannon out with injuries, Smith has taken over the point on offense. However, she was in foul trouble in the middle quarters when West’s pressure picked up. Destiny Cano came off the bench to give Morris six rebounds, while recently-called-up sophomore Paige Valentine took over point guard duties and performed strongly.

“Destiny really works hard on the boards for us,” Carey said. “Paige has looked really good in practice, and she did a good job in our last game against Geneseo [a 44-43 win].

“When we were able to keep the game in a half-court game, we were fine. But Lincoln-Way West forces a lot of turnovers and gets a lot of points off of steals. That’s the way they play, and they are very good at it. But I think this might be the closest we have been to them in the last four times we have played them.

The score might not look like it, but I was pretty happy with how we played.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: DeKALB 62, MORRIS 37

DeKalb is able to step it up and dance past Morris

By EDDIE CARIFIO

ecarifio@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Having to hold their last practice in a dance studio didn’t stop the DeKalb boys basketball team from scoring 31 of the first 38 points Friday en route to a 62-37 win against Morris.

The Barbs (6-2 overall, 4-0 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) scored the first 10 points;

led, 19-5, after the first quarter; and were up, 48-11, in the third when coach Al Biancalana removed his starters from the game.

Biancalana has said all year his players show remarkable poise and maturity, as exemplified by how they responded to their schedules being thrown off a little 24 hours before their game against Morris (4-5, 0-3).

“We had a little gym snafu, and we didn’t have a court to practice on, so we had a our practice in a dance studio,” Biancalana said. “For our guys to lock in for an hour and a half, to go through our scouting reports in a dance studio, then come out and play the way they did in the first quarter says a lot about the type of kids we have on our team.”

Michael Pollack scored 17 points for the Barbs, including making his first four 3-pointers.

Nick Snow was second on the team with 10 points – six of those coming on putbacks for the 6-foot-2 forward.

The Barbs didn’t miss many shots in the first half, shooting 50 percent from the floor as they built a 36-11 lead at the break.

The defense held Morris to just 5-of-14 shooting in the first half and 14-of-39 shooting in the game.

Luke Davis had seven points and a game-high six rebounds, while Joey Sauser made both of his 3-point attempts and finished with eight points.

Matt Shaw led Morris with seven points while Tyler Spiezio had six rebounds.

BOYS BASKETBALL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 64, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 61 (OT)

JOLIET – After grabbing a 19-point advantage late in the third quarter Friday, Plainfield South’s boys basketball team looked to be in an ideal position to wrap up its Southwest Prairie Conference game against Plainfield Central.

But somebody forgot to tell the winless Wildcats it was over. They staged a dramatic comeback that led to a 64-61 overtime win over the rival Cougars.

Justin Windt scored a game-high 33 points to lead the Wildcats (1-9, 1-2). He collected 20 points in the final half, with 13 of those coming in the fourth quarter and overtime.

“We stuck through it and got the win,” Windt said, “No one was going to stop us, and if we stuck through it, possibly we’d get it done. Now we have to keep going, since there’s a lot more to come. We’re a fun group of guys that always sticks together everywhere we go.”

Jacob Buchner (26 points) hit a 3-pointer late in the third quarter to give South (2-6, 0-3) a 51-36 lead with one period remaining. But Central responded with an 8-0 run to start the fourth, with Windt (eight rebounds) scoring five of those points, to make it 51-44 with 4:57 left.

The lead continued to dwindle as Michael Hood (11 points) made four straight free throws to pull his team to within 57-53 with 40 seconds left, and Scott Gustafson (13 points, eight rebounds) hit a 3-pointer with 22 seconds to go to make it a onepoint game.

“We’re a tough group of guys,” Gustafson said. “Down 19, some teams would just give up, but we stuck with it and came back and got ourselves in a position to win. It was a great win for our first win. We had some people who came off the bench and gave us some good minutes and fought hard for us, and that gave us some defensive energy. Except for our first game, we’ve been in every single game, so we were hungry for a win. We go at each other in practice, and we’re just tough, hard-nosed

kids. Hopefully, this can get us over the hump.”

After South’s Deantre DeYoung (seven points) made a free throw with 18 seconds left, Kameron Williams hit a

pair of free throws with four seconds to go. In the overtime, Windt put Central up for good at 60-59 on a layup with 2:31 left; and during the final minute, Windt and Williams

each hit a free throw before Gustafson made two with five seconds remaining.

“Our effort, our attitude and our fight has been there from Day 1,” Central coach

Steve Lamberti said. “That was our first win, but we were in position to win every game that we played. It’s a testament to these guys that, every day at practice, they’re trying to get better. We always come with the right mindset, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to coach these guys. We’re extremely proud of them, and we hope to keep going in the right direction.”

In the fourth quarter and overtime, South was 2 of 18 from the floor, 6 of 17 from the free-throw line and committed seven turnovers. The Cougars also received 12 points and 16 rebounds from Devin Smith and eight points from Ryan Kelly.

“It was a big win for Plainfield Central, and they’re excited – and they should be excited, because we feel like we’re a good team,” South coach Tim Boe said. “We let one get away, and that’s going to be a tough pill to swallow.

They finished, and we didn’t execute at the end. You have to play defense and make free throws at the end of the game.”

GIRLS BOWLING: DANE WALKER INVITATIONAL

Lockport uses record game to win Walker invite

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media Correspondent LOCKPORT – During the last two weeks, Lockport’s girls bowling team finished behind Schaumburg in invitationals.

Illinoisbowling.net’s state rankings had the Saxons No. 1 and the Porters No. 2.

But Lockport turned the tables Saturday at the 18th Annual Dane Walker Invitational at Strike N’ Spare II. The Porters used a school-record 1,207 in their fifth game to claim a 318-pin victory over the Saxons to take top honors by a 6,048-5,730 margin.

Minooka finished third (5,607), Plainfield North was fifth (5,301), Plainfield South finished sixth (5,296), and Plainfield Central placed eighth (5,030).

Rounding out the 19-team varsity competition was Lockport Gold (12th), Lemont (13th), Morris (15th) and Joliet Central (16th).

The Porters trailed Schaumburg by 65 pins after the three-

game morning session. They cut that lead to 26 pins after the fourth and sealed the victory with their record fifth game.

The 1,207 broke the school record of 1,187 and was done with games of 278 by Monica Colon, a 263 from Nikki Mendez, a 259 from Bailey Delrose, a 223 from Dana Ackerson and a 184 by Marissa Ramirez.

“We have been chasing that record for a few years,” Mendez said. “That has been a goal for a long time.”

Mendez was the individual champion, with a six-game series of 1,309.

“We have been close before, but this is amazing to finally get it,” said Ackerson (1,183), who finished ninth overall.

“We had to really grind out the morning, and we were struggling with the lane setup early,” Ramirez said. “Everyone really came together after the break with our focus and intensity.”

Colon’s 278 also was the day’s best game. She finished 11th overall with an 1,178 se-

“It was really special, both my game – which is a personal best – and the team getting the record.

After it was over, I looked over at my mom and tears came to my eyes. I have worked really hard to improve my game and be a part of this team.”

“It was really special, both my game – which is a personal best – and the team getting the record,” Colon said. “After it was over, I looked over at my mom and tears came to my eyes. I have worked really hard to improve my game and be a part of this team.”

Minooka was led by Carmella Russell’s fifth-place finish (1,227) that included a high game of 257 in game four.

Her sister, Nora, placed 14th (1,143).

“I’m happy with my overall series,” Carmella Russell said.

“I was disappointed with the

last game, and I really need to work on staying positive to the end. The lanes start breaking down, and sometimes I get frustrated. Our team has come a long way since the start of the season, and we are getting in position to make a run at qualifying for the state tournament.”

Plainfield Central got a sixth-place finish from Meghan Tatera (1,227) and a 13th-place finish from Kristen Carr (1,152). Paige Kwiatkowski was seventh (1,204) and Cassie Bucaro took 12th (1,176) for Plainfield South.

Lemont had a 15th-place

finish from Breanna Malak (1,138), and Morris was led by Amy Waldren’s 17th-place finish (1,130).

In the junior-varsity competition, Lockport easily won with a 5,691, a score that would have placed it third in the varsity meet. Minooka placed second.

The Porters were led by Paige Reiter’s 1,227 series, which would have been good for sixth in the varsity. Lindsey Kolzow was the runner-up with a 1,182 and a 10th-place overall finish.

“We have good depth,” Porters coach Art Cwudzinski said. “Nothing is set in stone, and decisions will have to be made as we move forward. I’m really happy with Monica (Colon) today. She has dedicated herself to the sport, worked very hard over the summer.

Today shows what she can do on a consistent basis. It was fun watching those girls roll that record fifth game. This was a good way to end before our holiday break.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 63, PLAINFIELD EAST 59

Plainfield North edges Plainfield East on special night

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – Friday was a special night at Plainfield North before its Southwest Prairie Conference boys basketball game against Plainfield East.

In an emotional pregame ceremony, North athletic director Ron Lear announced that a combined effort between the schools’ student bodies was raising money for the children of former North teacher Sue Brown Triplett, who was slain in October. Both student sections wore purple jerseys in her honor. Then, at halftime, swimmer Carly Kramer was honored as North’s first state champion.

The latest edition of the Battle of 119th Street turned out to be the pinnacle of the evening, with the Tigers capturing a 6359 victory.

“Honoring Ms. Triplett and

our first state champion, Carly Kramer, made the night special,” Tigers coach Bob Krahulik said. “It was a special win for us over our rivals from East. Kevin (Krieger) finally broke out of his slump and played an outstanding game. I am not surprised, for Kevin is a special player. Justin (Wilson) gave us a great lift off the bench in the second quarter, and Richie (Elias) was outstanding down the stretch for us.”

North (4-4, 2-1) owned a 57-49 lead with 3:49 left, but East (2-6, 0-3) – led by Lee Higgins (eight points) and Jaylen Adams (nine points), closed to within 60-59 with 1:27 to go. North’s Richie Elias (five points) made a layup, off a feed from Krieger to extend the lead to 62-59. After forcing a five-second call, Elias hit a free throw for a 63-59 lead with 23 seconds left.

“My offense has been really off lately,” Elias said. “I had to

Plainfield N. boys basketball coach pick up my defense, and it was great to pick up the five-second call late in the game. This was a big win for us heading into Pontiac (tournament). This was good for us tonight, with the way East pressed us. It gave us practice against pressure-defense, because I know we will face it against Joliet West.”

In the late going, both Krieger and Kyle Speas (seven points, four rebounds), playing in his first game of the season, blocked shots to preserve the win.

Krieger, who had been in the worst shooting slump of his career, exploded for 13 of the Tigers’ 16 first quarter points. He scored a game-high 29 points, on 11-of-19 shooting, and added 11 rebounds.

“It was great to finally break out of my shooting slump tonight,” Krieger said, “I felt really good right away in the first quarter. This was a big win for us leading into the tough Pontiac Holiday Tournament.”

Elyjah Goss scored 12 of his 23 points in the second quarter, to keep the Bengals close. His old-fashioned three-point play brought East to within 28-26 with 1:45 left in the half.

“We have to be able to play a complete game,” Goss said.

“These close losses really hurt.

I had a good game tonight, but I must help my teammates to get better. We are so close.”

But Henry Thompson (nine points) buried the first of his three 3-point shots; and when

Justin Wilson (five points, nine rebounds) hit a 3-pointer, North had a 34-26 halftime lead. “ I had to help my teammates out with my rebounding and scoring in the second quarter,” Wilson said. “I am looking forward to the Pontiac Tournament, where we will play quality teams.”

Thompson nailed a 3-pointer to give North its largest lead at 39-27 with 6:50 left in the third. Goss (18 rebounds) scored six points to keep East within 50-41 after three quarters.

“There is no doubt about the heart of our team,” East coach Brandon Atkins said.

“Our comeback, once again, showed our heart. Plainfield North really took it to us for three quarters. We gave them too many offensive rebounds, and we must improve in these close games we play to turn these heartbreaking losses into victories.”

Kane leads Blackhawks to Knicks beat weary Bulls in N.Y. shootout win over Sabres

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

By JOHN WAWROW The Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Patrick Kane made his Buffalo homecoming a winning one by scoring the tying goal in the final minute and then adding the lone shootout goal in leading the Blackhawks to a 3-2 victory over the Sabres on Saturday.

With boos raining from the stands as Kane prepared to take his shootout chance, the Hawks’ forward sped up the middle, came to a near full stop and then faked a forehand shot before flipping a backhand into the right side past goalie Chad Johnson.

Hawks goalie Corey Crawford then sealed the win by stopping Zemgus Girgensons on the Sabres third and final shootout attempt.

It was an eventful finish to a game in which Kane tied it with 34 seconds left while the Hawks enjoyed a 6-on-3 advantage.

Buffalo defensemen Josh Gorges (tripping) and Rasmus Ristolainen (high sticking) were both in the penalty box, and the Blackhawks pulled Crawford for an extra attacker.

There was a second left in the Hawks’ power play when Kane scored by converting Artemi Panarin’s pass through the crease into the open right side.

Dennis Rasmussen also scored for the Hawks, who improved to 6-2 in their past eight.

Ryan O’Reilly and Cody Franson scored for Buffalo, which is 0-7-1 in its past eight games against the Hawks. The Sabres haven’t defeated the Hawks since a 2-1 win at Buffalo on Dec. 11, 2009.

Kane’s goal was his 20th of the season, and it gave him points in two straight after he had a franchise-record 26-game point streak end in a 3-0 loss to Colorado on Tuesday.

NEW YORK – Carmelo Anthony scored 27 points and the New York Knicks beat the weary Bulls, 107-91, on Saturday night for their fourth straight victory.

A night after losing a four-overtime game in Chicago, the Bulls started well and had a strong third quarter, but the rest of the night mostly belonged to the Knicks.

Arron Afflalo added 18 points for New York, which got back to .500 at 14-14 after winning just 17 games last season. Lance Thomas scored 13 off the bench.

Joakim Noah had a season-high 21 points for the Bulls in his first start of the season. Rookie forward Bobby Portis had the best night of his brief career with 20 points and 11 rebounds.

The Bulls’ 147-144 home loss to Detroit finished about 20 hours before Saturday’s tip-off at Madison Square Garden, and they didn’t get to their New York hotel until after 4 a.m. Pau Gasol didn’t even make the trip after

playing 48 minutes Friday, remaining behind in Chicago for rest and treatment for some recent soreness.

Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose both started after playing 56 and 54 minutes, respectively, but were without their usual sharpness. Butler was 4 of 11 for 12 points a night after scoring 43, while Rose played 20 minutes and had six points on 3-of-10 shooting.

Still, the Bulls looked fine early in racing to a 12-2 lead. But the Knicks dominated the remainder of the first quarter, particularly when the teams went to their reserves, and led 25-18 entering the second.

Anthony scored 19 in the first half, but the Bulls were down only nine after three. The Knicks’ reserves then opened the fourth with eight quick points to extend it to 85-68, and they remained comfortably ahead from there.

New York shot 50 percent against a Chicago team that came in limiting teams to an NBA-low 41.3 percent but was understandably a step slow in this one.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The No. 2-ranked University of St. Francis men’s basketball team suffered its first defeat of the season Saturday afternoon as host Cardinal Stritch University edged the Saints, 70-67, in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

USF (10-1, 5-1 CCAC) lost for the first time in 13 regular-season games since a 74-71 setback at Purdue University Calumet last Feb. 14.

Entering the game as one of four undefeated teams in NAIA Division II, USF led, 3635, at the intermission after a first half that featured seven lead changes and eight ties. In the second period, the Saints remained ahead or tied until the game’s final minute.

USF took its largest lead at 56-48 when Jens Kennedy (19 points, eight rebounds, four blocks) converted a 3-point play with 8:17 left in the game.

Another 3-point play from Jake Raspopovich (10 points)

put the Saints on top, 67-62, at the 2:12 mark, but the Wolves (7-7, 4-2) kept USF off the scoreboard the rest of the way.

Cardinal Stritch outshot the Saints 43 percent to 39 percent and held a 39-32 edge on the boards. Ilya Ilyayev paced the Saints with a game-high 20 points and added nine rebounds.

Indiana rallies to top Notre Dame The ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS – Troy Williams scored 18 points and pulled down 10 rebounds and made some clutch plays down the stretch Saturday as Indiana rallied for an 80-73 victory over Notre Dame in the Crossroads Classic.

Indiana (9-3) trailed, 56-40, with just more than 15 minutes remaining. The Hoosiers also closed the game on a 9-0 run over the final 2:55.

The Hoosiers got back into the game from 3-point range, where it hit an even 50 percent of its 20 shots. Yogi Ferrell hit a pull-up 3-pointer that tied the game at 71 with 4:09 to play.

Collin Hartman hit two free throws with 57.5 seconds to play to give IU the lead for good at 75-73.

Williams scored 16 of his game-high 18 points in the second half. After making 1 of 6 shots in the first half he hit 5 of 8 in the second.

His biggest play, however, might have come on the defensive end. After IU had taken the 75-73 lead, Williams made a steal on top when he picked the pocket of Notre Dame’s Demetrius Jackson. He was fouled when he tried to score on the other end and made both free throws with 36.5 seconds to play.

Williams later hit two more foul shots with 18.2 seconds to play to cap off the IU scoring.

Notre Dame (7-3), which

shot over 50 percent from the field for most of the game, missed its final seven field goal attempts and a pair of free throws.

The Irish finished the game shooting 49.2 percent overall.

Hill with 34 points, Illini defeat South Dakota

CHAMPAIGN – Malcolm Hill scored a career-high 34 points and had 11 rebounds, and Illinois never trailed in a 91-79 victory Saturday over South Dakota.

Hill was 10 of 16 from the floor with four 3-pointers, and he had five assists. Jalen Coleman-Lands added 17 points with four 3s for Illinois (7-5), which has won four straight.

Tre Burnette had a career-best 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting to lead South Dakota (7-5).

The Illini opened on a 14-0 run behind eight-straight defensive stops, and led 55-36 at the break.

Burnette made three 3-pointers and Trey Norris made a jumper during an 11-4 spurt to pull the Coyotes to 84-78 with two minutes left.

Michael Finke answered with a 3-pointer, and Hill and Coleman-Lands each made a pair of free throws to seal it.

Illinois shot 47 percent on 14-of-30 shooting from beyond the arc.

Armstead’s 3-pointer gave the Huskies (8-2) a 74-72 lead with 2:06 to play in the second overtime period and Travon Baker and Marin Maric combined for four free throws to keep Northern Illinois on top for the win.

Maric led the Huskies with

17 points and 11 rebounds.

Chuks Iroegbu scored 15 points, Armstead had 13 points with nine rebounds and Baker added 12 points.

Baker hit a layup with a second to go in the first OT to tie the game, 67-67, and send it into the second overtime.

The Huskies led, 58-55, with 18 seconds left in regulation, but FIU’s Elmo Stephen sank a 3-pointer with four seconds to go to tie it up.

Donte McGill led the Golden Panthers (4-7) with 23 points.

South Dakota surpasses his previous career-best 28 points against Maryland in January.

3-pointers in OT help Northwestern top DePaul

ROSEMONT – Northwestern, a team of veteran players, put together a comeback Saturday that was led by the new guy.

Freshman Aaron Falzon looked much like a veteran as he hit two 3-pointers in overtime – after going 0-for-6 in regulation – and the Wildcats beat DePaul, 78-70.

The Wildcats’ (10-1) win over the Blue Demons has them off to their best start in four years.

Northwestern coach Chris Collins said that’s what he expects of Falzon, who is on the court because he’s a shooter.

“If he’s open and doesn’t shoot the ball with great confidence, then he’s hurting us,” Collins said. “I don’t care if he misses six in a row or makes six in a row – he has to shoot the seventh one.”

It was the fifth game where Falzon scored in double figures, including his debut game when Falzon set a school record for a freshman by scoring 20 against UMass Lowell.

“If you don’t play with that kind of confidence, then you shouldn’t be out there; and everybody on our team has great confidence in what Aaron brings,” Collins said.

It was the seventh straight win for Northwestern.

A glimpse at Nepal’s past

Former Joliet resident exhibits his photographs for earthquake relief

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

JOLIET – Former Joliet resident Luke Golobitsh views the world through his camera lens.

That view includes Nepal, where Golobitsh worked in the mid-1970s as part of the Peace Corps. Golobitsh, a retired freelance photographer, is hoping two dozen of those images – some of which include places Golobitsh is certain no longer exist – will positively impact the country’s earthquake relief.

His show, “Nepal Remembered 1975-1978” opens Dec. 27 with a reception at Baron’s Designs in Joliet and continues through Feb. 28. Golobitsh’s brother, Tony Golobitsh, owns the salon.

The photographs are not for sale, and there is just one way to attain one: a donation to a charity that provides earthquake relief to Nepal.

Period. On-the-spot donations via cellphones are acceptable, as long as Golobitsh sees the receipt.

“You can’t buy the print,” Golobitsh repeated. “You can only make a contribution – hopefully a generous one – to a charity, and then you can have the print.”

Having lived in Nepal for three years, Golobitsh said news of the earthquake in April – which killed more than 9,000 people and injured more than 23,000 – hit him hard. He wondered how he could help.

That’s where Lisa Marie Stevens, who works at Baron’s Designs and also is a photographer, jumped in.

Stevens said she’s so indebted to Golobitsh’s mentoring during the past 20 years, she was happy to help by suggesting and coordinating the exhibit. So Golobitsh, who now lives in Germany, scanned negatives and sent them to Stevens, who prepared them for display.

JOLIET – The service of Joliet Zontians recently caught the attention of Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk and the City Council, who presented the club with a proclamation on Oct. 19 acknowledging United Nations Day and the club’s support of the U.N.’s efforts to improve opportunities for girls’ education, health, and well-being in order to attain a world where women and girls can live free from fear, violence, and discrimination.

Joliet Councilwoman Jan Hallums Quillman presented the club with the award.

The Joliet service club, established in

1973, is a charter of Zonta International, whose mission is to advance the status of women worldwide.

In addition, the Joliet Zonta Club sponsors a local charity every two years, where club members provide service hours, complete special projects and provide a third of their annual fundraiser to that group, which is typically a donation of $8,000 a year.

This year, the club’s service expanded to include a group of girls at Joliet Central High School who will participate in a Zonta charter club, The Joliet Central High School Fearless Females Z Club.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

A double may suggest a bad trump break

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Ron Klinger from Australia is a leading teacher, writer and player. He has probably lost count of both the number of times he has represented his country and the number of books he has written. His latest work is “Playing Doubled Contracts” (Weidenfeld & Nicolson).

Klinger packs a lot of material into a short space. There are 58 quiz questions and answers in 96 pages.

In today’s diagram, look only at the auction and the North-South hands.

Against four spades doubled, West leads heart king and continues with the heart queen. East overtakes with his ace and shifts to a low club. How would you plan the play?

East’s pre-empt was in the modern style – open high with a long suit and a weak hand, almost regardless of suit quality and vulnerability.

Unless you are sacrificing, a double often tells you that the trumps are breaking badly. This can help you with the play – as here. What can West have for his double but all four trumps?

Suppose you run the club to dummy’s 10, cross to your hand with a diamond, and lead the spade two. If West crazily plays his four, cover with dummy’s five. A rational West will put in his spade 10, thinking this assures him of two trump tricks. However, you can endplay West.

You must reduce your trump length. Win with the spade ace, cash the diamond ace, ruff a diamond, play a club to the queen, ruff a diamond, and cash the club ace, bringing everyone down to three cards. Now lead the club king.

West must ruff high, but then has to lead from his spade queen-four into your king-eight.

Dear Dr. K: There are

STOOL SOFTENERS combine with feces to soften the consistency of stool: • Docusate (Colace, Surfak) is generally safe for long-term use.

• Mineral oil should not be used every day because it reduces absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

OSMOTIC AGENTS promote secretion of water into the colon. They are reasonably safe, even for long-term use. The most widely used is polyethylene glycol (Miralax), which has been shown to help children with functional constipation.

SALINE LAXATIVES attract and retain water in the intestines. This increases pressure and release of stool. The most widely used are various preparations of magnesium (milk of magnesia, Epsom salt).

STIMULANT LAXATIVES

act directly on the intestine to promote more vigorous contractions of the colon. They also increase secretion of water in the intestine. They’re best used for occasional constipation, not on a daily basis: • bisacodyl (Dulcolax, Correctol) • casanthranol (Peri-Colace) • cascara (Naturalax) • castor oil (Purge) • senna (Ex-Lax, Senokot)

CHLORIDE-CHANNEL AGONISTS cause additional

fluid to be secreted into the intestine, making it easier to pass stool. This prescription medication • called lubiprostone (Amitiza) • is intended for adults with persistent severe constipation who have not responded to other therapies.

so many laxatives on the market. Which one should I take for my constipation?

Dear Reader: Anyone suffering from constipation should start by boosting fiber and fluid intake. That may do the trick, and you may not need a laxative. If you are age 50 years or younger, the target is 38 grams of fiber per day for men and 25 grams per day for women.

For men and women over 50, aim for 30 and 21 grams per day, respectively.

Whole-grain foods, brans, fruits and vegetables are good sources of fiber. When introducing fiber to your diet (or fiber supplements, as I discuss below), do so gradually.

Too much, too fast can cause gas, cramping and bloating.

Drink lots of water or other liquids. It’s important to get enough exercise, which also promotes regularity. The way I explain it to my patients is that when you exercise, you “joggle the stuff in your intestines around and loosen it up.” (I don’t believe that this has been scientifically established – perhaps because most scientists have better things to do.)

If these measures fail, laxatives can help ease the passage of stool through the bowel. Following is a list of different types of oral laxatives, along with a few examples of each.

They work in a variety of ways; you can see which type best fits your needs.

BULK-FORMING AGENTS: These fiber-based products take a day or so to work. They are very effective and safe to take indefinitely, every day.

Take them with plenty of liquid. The most widely used are: • wheat dextrin (Benefiber) • bran (in food and supplements) • calcium polycarbophil (FiberCon) • methylcellulose (Citrucel) • psyllium (Metamucil)

Dear Abby: I am an administrative assistant. Part of my job is to make the arrangements for our department Christmas party. Every year, we go out in a group of about 15 people. I no longer wish to attend these events. Group settings make me nervous.

In addition, we all have to buy gender-neutral gifts to exchange.

I have tried to talk with my boss about it, but he doesn’t seem to understand.

We have bi-monthly staff meetings, and after everyone is done with business, we always have discussion time for things other than work. Most of us have lunch together every day and talk then. We also have group birthday celebrations four times a year.

I get a sick feeling every time I think about going to this party, and then the headache of trying to choose a gift that won’t be made fun of. (I am not good at it.) Last year I called in sick so I wouldn’t have to attend. I have tried taking a personal day off, but then my boss gets mad at me.

you shouldn’t. Because you find these functions to be onerous, consider putting in a short appearance at the Christmas party and then “rushing off” because you have a “schedule conflict.”

As to your gift selection problem, at this time of year most people are inundated with catalogs with all sorts of offerings. Open a few, select any item in your price range and order it. Or consider a gift card. Problem solved.

Dear Abby: Is it OK to hang up the phone on someone who’s making you angry on a personal call? I’m referring to adult conversations, not children calling each other.

For instance, when I’m talking to my husband, my

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips mother or a friend and the conversation has deteriorated to an argument or become unbearable and insufferable, can I just hang up the phone?

Or must I first blurt out, “I’m hanging up the phone now”?

Are there rules for hanging up the phone angry? Do manners require that phone calls must end by mutual agreement? Please, Abby, give us your permission to “cut off the crazies.” – Sick Of

It In Michigan Dear Sick Of It: I do not

think it is constructive to slam the phone down. If a caller becomes abusive, you could say, “I can’t listen to this,” or, “We’ll talk later when you’re not upset,” before putting the phone down. However, if these ugly conversations happen often, you might be wise to consider screening your calls before answering.

Dear Abby: After reading about the woman who accidentally passed gas in the office after eating “beans, the musical fruit,” I have to share the following: An elderly married couple were attending church one Sunday when halfway through the sermon the wife turned to her husband and whispered, “I just let out a long, silent toot. What should I do?” The husband replied, “Replace the battery in your hearing aid!” – Online Reader

In Texas Dear Online Reader: Ver-

sions of that joke have been around since Cary Grant told it to my mother – but it’s still funny. Thanks for sharing.
