PLAINFIELD – The Plain-field Public Library DistrictBoard of Trustees has takenits first official steps towarda 2016 referendum aimed toalleviate space issues by ex-pansion.

The board on Wednesdayapproved a $19,500 contractwith Anders Dahlgren fromNormal-based Library Plan-ning Associates Inc. to pro-vide data analysis and long-term planning services to thelibrary.

Executive Director JulieMilavec said Dahlgren’s find-ings are meant to give theboard direction into how areferendum may help providethe library funds to expand orbuild a new library to solve

ongoing space issues.Dahlgren provided simi-

lar services to the district in2007. Using his data, a librarybuilding expansion and oper-ations referendum was put onthe ballot for spring 2009 elec-tions, but it failed to pass.

“[Dahlgren] will do a spaceneeds analysis and an up-date on the library, lookingat population projections,the library’s place regional-ly, statewide and nationally,and working with the priori-ties from our board,” Milavecsaid.

The district also approvedsending a request for qualifi-cation for an owner’s repre-sentative who would act as theboard’s voice in building pro-gramming and assessmentsand pre-construction phasesof planning for an expansion

of the library.Library staff identified the

necessity for more space backin 2007. After the 2009 referen-dum failed, the board and ad-ministration gauged the pub-lic’s interest in a referendumin 2012.

Milavec said that in theanalysis, the public recog-nized a need for a library ex-pansion, but was not in favorof voting yes to a referendum.The board turned its focus onexpansion to the next presi-dential election in 2016.

“There are usually morevoters during a national elec-tion year,” Milavec said, add-ing that the problems with alack of space have grown.

Resignation delayedAccording to preliminary

results, Trustee GretchenFritz won a seat on the WillCounty Board after District5 voters chose her and fellowRepublican Darren Benne-

field over Democrats Reed Bi-ble and Sheila Raddatz in theNovember elections.

Fritz, whose library termisn’t up until 2017, requestedto table her resignation for thenext board meeting becausethe results of the Novemberelections aren’t finalized.

However, because thetime period to file as a candi-date for the April 7 electionsis Dec. 15 to 22, a resignationby Fritz at the Dec. 19 boardmeeting would mean prospec-tive candidates would haveonly five days to obtain the 50signatures needed to run forher seat.

Milavec said there is astrong chance there could beno listed candidate for Fritz’sseat on the ballot, and votersmay have to write in a candi-date.

“It’s kind of an oddity ofthe law,” Milavec said. “Butwe could have no one on theballot for her seat.”

Lockport City Council approvesVolz building development

By FELIX [email protected]

LOCKPORT – An agree-ment to let a developer revital-ize the Volz building in Lock-port drew sharp criticism fromsome City Council membersbut managed to win approval.

On Wednesday, LockportCity Council approved a re-development agreement withMadHunt LLC and transfer ofproperty to the company own-ers in a 5-2 vote. Second WardAlderman Brian Smith wasabsent.

Developer David Mede,with MadHunt LLC, expressedinterest in renovating the Volzbuilding, 933 S. State St., with arestaurant, bar, banquet facil-ity and apartment rooms. Thebuilding was crippled severalyears ago in a fire and has beenan eyesore in the downtownarea.

City officials bought thebuilding for about $300,000 andsought developers for the proj-

ect.But the redevelopment

agreement City Council mem-bers passed Wednesday wascriticized by 4th Ward Alder-woman Denise Marynowskiand Second Ward AldermanKelly Turner, while gainingsupport from the rest of thecouncil present.

Mayor Steven Streit alsosupported the deal, calling ita “calculated risk,” since itrequired financing that wasunusual for city developmentprojects.

Marynowski said she didn’tsupport the redevelopmentagreement because Mede hadrefused to post a bond, letterof credit or secured collater-al. She said she didn’t see anyproof of ownership of prop-erty from MadHunt LLC andwas concerned about selling abuilding bought for $300,000 for$10.

Turner said he was worriedabout not having enough infor-mation on Mede.

“My problem is we got aproject here, we have no infor-mation on this guy, we don’tknow where he lives and wehave no idea what his creditrating is,” he said.

Third Ward Alderman Ja-son VanderMeer said the cityalready vetted the financialability of the developer to com-plete the project and ensuredthere was nothing suspiciousin a background search.

“This is kind of an odd proj-ect. It’s not a perfect project …this is kind of the right fit forus, it’s a little quirky and it’sgoing to fit our downtown,” hesaid.

First Ward Alderman PeteColarelli said this project isneeded because the downtownarea needs a shot in the armand it may be irresponsible ofthe city council not to approveof it because of the potentialsales tax the building couldgenerate.

“You haven’t been given afair shake,” he said to Mede.

3COVER STORY

JOLIET – After 12 yearsunder Paul Kaupas, the WillCounty Sheriff’s Office willbe ready for some chang-es when his retirement be-comes official next month.

After 43 years in law en-forcement, Kaupas is readyfor some changes too.

“Since 1968, I’ve been inthe service for somebodyelse. Since 1968 I’ve beencarrying a gun,” Kaupassaid Wednesday at a party tomark his retirement. His lastday on the job is Nov. 30.

Kaupas grew up in Chica-go and fought as a Marine inVietnam. After one civilianjob, he joined the MarkhamPolice Department in 1971 be-fore becoming a Will Countysheriff’s deputy in 1973.

Kaupas started as a patroldeputy, worked on an under-cover drug unit and served 20years on the SWAT team be-fore becoming sheriff in 2002.

Among his tenure’s ac-complishments are the newjail facility, a Crete substa-tion and implementing ranksand career paths for correc-tional officers assigned tothe jail.

“He truly cared aboutall of [the sheriff’s employ-ees] and what happened to[them],” Marty Nowak, whoserved as Kaupas’ under-sheriff until he retired lastyear, said Wednesday. “Hedid his best to get raises andequipment.”

Mike Kelley, the Demo-crat who will replace Kaupason Dec. 1, said his predeces-sor will be missed for “theknowledge and years of ex-

perience” he offered youngerdeputies.

“ [ T h e f a c t ] t h a t o u r[SWAT team] has updatedequipment and training is atribute to him and what hedid with that unit,” Kelleysaid. “As sheriff he was veryapproachable. His door wasopen. You could talk to himand crack jokes. I’m going totry to echo that.”

As sheriff, Kaupas alsooversaw a department that attimes swirled in controversy.

Major incidents includedthe false arrest of Kevin Foxfor the murder of his daugh-ter in Wilmington. A high-ly publicized identity theftcase against hotel managersbroke down when it became

apparent police were beingfed erroneous informationby an informant. And kilosof heroin were stolen froman outdoor evidence locker,

an incident that became anissue during the recent elec-tion.

“I leave regretting thoseincidents occurred. But I

feel I addressed all the issuesthat led to them,” Kaupassaid. “[A few] incidents outof 12 years. It was frustratingnone of the good stuff we didevery day [was publicized],but the bad stuff would al-ways get printed.”

“It’s a priority ... to tryto avoid those types of inci-dents,” Kelley said. “I haveno concrete plans now, butonce I get my team togeth-er, [accountability] will beone of the first things to ad-dress.”

Except for the constantpresence of a toothpick inhis mouth, Kaupas didn’tshow any of the pressure hefelt as sheriff. While work-ing briefly as a skip tracerfor a finance company whenhe returned from Vietnamgave him ulcers, his stom-ach shows no ill effectsfrom four decades of policework.

“He never brought the jobhome,” Barb Kaupas said ofher husband. “He didn’t talkabout it. I think we were thelast to know when somethingwas going on.”

Kaupas said he has noplans for retirement aftercleaning out his office, buthe will continue living in thearea.

“When I started therewere no portable radios, nolaptops, it took 30 minutesto check [a license plate],”Kaupas said. “I’ve seen thisjob come a long way. I’veseen this department comea long way. Hopefully in thelast 12 years we were able tobring it along more.

“It’s been a good run. Ithink I’ve had a good career,personally.”

Lockdown Bar & Grill plan called off in downtown JolietBy BOB OKON

[email protected]

JOLIET – The plan to opena Lockdown Bar & Grill indowntown Joliet has beencalled off.

The restaurant was to bea Joliet version of the popu-lar Lockdown restaurant inthe Ukrainian Village neigh-borhood of Chicago. Thatrestaurant features gourmethamburgers and a heavy-met-al theme. It was seen as a po-tential boost to the downtownbusiness district.

The news comes as the cityprepares for a brainstormingsession Thursday to developa master plan for downtowndevelopment.

One City Council memberpointed to the recent closingsof other restaurants, and theaborted Lockdown plan, as

signs of trouble in the down-town business district.

Councilman Jim McFar-land mentioned “constantturnover” at restaurant lo-cations and vacancies else-where as a sign of the needfor a new action plan down-town.

“This is our tourist hubwhere we try to attract ev-erybody,” McFarland said,pointing to the Rialto SquareTheatre, Joliet Area Histori-cal Museum and Silver CrossField as being among down-

town attractions. “When yougo down the street and see va-cancies and closed shops, itdoesn’t look good.”

City Manager Jim Hocksaid the city got notice thisweek that P.J. Zonis was notmoving forward with the pro-posal made last year to createa Joliet version of his Lock-down restaurant in Chicago.

Hock said Wednesday thecity will look for other po-tential users of the buildingat Chicago and Cass streets,which once housed the Crabi-

gale’s comedy club. The cityof Joliet owns the building.

“We never did sign theagreement of commitment tothem, so we can list the prop-erty,” Hock said. “We havehad the [for sale] sign in thewindow, and over the pastyear there have been inqui-ries.”

Hock said the city waswaiting for Zonis to showagreements with contractorsto renovate the building be-fore it would turn over theproperty, which could have

put it under the ownership ofa bank.

“We would have lost con-trol,” Hock said.

Mayor Tom Giarrante saidhe is “cautiously optimistic”about the future of the site,given inquires from potentialrestaurant users. Giarrantesaid he had a meeting Mon-day with a restaurant devel-oper who expressed interestin the proposed Lockdownsite, but that was before thecity got the news that theplan was called off.

“He asked about the Lock-down,” Giarrante said, “butwe did not know at the timethat it was going to die.”

The City Council meets at4 p.m. Thursday at City Hall,where the public has been in-vited to join in the effort todevelop a master plan for fu-ture downtown development.

“We never did sign the agreement of commitment to them, so we canlist the property. We have had the [for sale] sign in the window, and

over the past year there have been inquiries.”Jim Hock

ELWOOD – The statewon’t decide until at leastlate January whether to tem-porarily shut down a contro-versial railroad crossing inElwood despite oppositionfrom CenterPoint Proper-ties, the developer of twonearby intermodals.

A series of Illinois Com-merce Commission hearingsconcerning safety at the Wal-ter Strawn Drive railroadcrossing wrapped up thisweek in Chicago.

Over the course of thosehearings, off icials fromUnion Pacific, the IllinoisDepartment of Transporta-tion, Elwood and the ICC allurged an administrative lawjudge overseeing the case totemporarily close the cross-ing while a long-term solu-tion can be found.

But CenterPoint Proper-ties, represented by attorneyMichael Scotti, has object-ed on the grounds that the

state – if it were to close thecrossing – isn’t taking intoaccount the dangers of di-verting thousands of trucksto other local roads and rail-road crossings.

If the crossing were toclose, there needs to be atime frame established to re-open the crossing, he said.

“If it gets closed without atime frame, there’s no incen-tive for the parties to quicklycooperate and fix the cross-ing,” Scotti said Wednesday,adding that a 90-day windowwould be adequate.

But Paul Streicher, attor-

ney for Elwood, said a 90-daytime frame is unrealistic forall parties to come up with asolution.

Crossing gates were bro-ken nearly 50 times last year,and village officials havetried for some time to steersemitrailer traffic awayfrom the area. If the crossingwere shut down, IDOT woulddo a two-year Phase I studyon the feasibility of buildingan overpass to separate traf-fic from the crossing.

A major project like thatcould take several years,Scotti said. That would cre-

ate traffic hazards elsewhereand limit access to the inter-modal in Elwood, he said.

But the ongoing conflictsbetween funeral processionsheading to the nearby Abra-ham Lincoln National Cem-etery and semitrailers can’tbe resolved by proposedshort-term solutions, Stre-icher said. Proposals haveincluded more signage andadjustments in traffic sig-nals.

The intersection is toodangerous to stay open, Stre-icher said.

“It’s a ticking time bombwaiting to happen,” he said.

Part of the problem at thecrossing stems from the in-crease in truck traffic, whichsignificantly has exceed-ed initial projections fromwhen the crossing projectwas first discussed in 2001. Itwas opened in 2004.

A t t e m p t s t o i m p r o v ecrossing safety includeUnion Pacific lengtheningthe delay between the redlight and when the crossing

bars come down to give semi-trailers time to clear the in-tersection. Will County sher-iff’s deputies hired by UnionPacific were stationed thereduring peak funeral proces-sion hours to marshal traffic.

Moving forward, ICCstaff next month will writeup a draft closure order forreview. All parties involvedcan then either sign off orfile their own draft proposal,which CenterPoint is likelyto do.

The law judge will thentake all responses into ac-count and draft her own rec-ommendation.

The order could be pre-sented at the ICC board’sJan. 27 meeting.

What’s next

Nov. 25: Illinois Commerce Commission staff will circulate draftedorder likely recommending that the Walter Strawn railroad crossingbe closed.Early December: Parties can submit recommended changes to

proposal; opposing parties can submit own proposed order.The administrative law judge will then take all responses into

account and draft her own recommendation.Jan. 27: Earliest date that the law judge’s recommended order can

be presented to the full ICC board.

“It’s a ticking time bombwaiting to happen.”

By LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

SPRINGFIELD – A pro-posed change in state lawaimed to save underfundedelectronics recycling pro-grams made its debut Wednes-day in Springfield.

House Bill 4204, sponsoredby state Rep. Emily McAsey,D-Lockport, was aired on thefirst day of the lawmakers’ No-vember veto session during anIllinois House EnvironmentalCommittee subject matterhearing.

“If some changes are notmade, I’m concerned [someprograms] will cease to beable to operate,” McAsey toldmembers Wednesday duringa hearing. “There’s the pos-sibility of widespread illegaldumping [of electronics].”

Illinois does not allow mostelectronic appliances, in-cluding TVs and computers,in landfills. Will County andother local governments havecreated recycling programs asan option.

Marta Keane, recyclingspecialist for Will County,was among those who testi-fied in favor. She character-ized the situation as a crisis,while representatives fromthe manufacturing industryargued against advancing thelegislation without carefulvetting.

To blame is the rising costof recycling and the low an-nual recycling goals set bystate law for electronics man-ufacturers, Keane said. Oncemanufacturers meet certainweight goals, they no longerhave to pay recycling contrac-tors to process items.

In turn, some recyclers –such as Vintage Tech in WillCounty – end up footing thebill. But how long that can lastis uncertain. Others have shutdown or begun charging localgovernments for the services.

“Hundreds of thousandsare without service,” Keanetold the committee. “You’reseeing this domino effect.”

The shortfall in legislationalso has led to recycling ven-

dors opting out of contractswith local governments and anumber of counties reportinghigher levels of illegal dump-ing, Keane testified.

Lake County doesn’t havea vendor in line for next yearbecause recyclers are awarethey will likely end up footingthe bill once manufacturersmeet their goals, said WalterWillis, executive director ofSolid Waste Agency of LakeCounty.

A recycler in DuPage Coun-ty earlier this year filed forbankruptcy, Willis said. Anelectronics recycling programalso shut down in west CookCounty in September, he said.

“We’re collecting morethan ever but [manufactur-ers’] goals are going down,”Willis said.

The result is hardly the in-tent of the original 2012 elec-tronics recycling law, he said.

Changes proposed Wednes-day include increasing recy-cling goals for manufacturersand barring recyclers fromasking local governments to

foot the bill.Mark Denzler, vice pres-

ident and chief operatingofficer for the Illinois Manu-facturers Association, urgedlawmakers to hold off on aquick vote, noting the addi-

tional costs are not factoredinto manufacturers’ budgetsfor next year.

Manufacturers will needmore than seven weeks notice,he said, for major changes likethe ones proposed.

Plans made for NationalHunger and HomelessnessAwarenessWeek

By FELIX [email protected]

JOLIET – Charities in Jo-liet plan to increase effortsto help the less fortunate inhonor of National Hungerand Homelessness Aware-ness Week.

MorningStar Mission andCatholic Charities have sev-eral events for November inrecognition of a week that isbeing highlighted by the Na-tional Coalition for the Home-less as a time to share compas-sion with the homeless.

National Hunger andHomelessness AwarenessWeek began Monday and willend Sunday. Other charitiesand organizations nation-wide are hosting events andactivities the week.

On Saturday, Morning-Star Mission, 350 E. Wash-ington St., will host its GreatThanksgiving Banquet andinvite several local and stateofficials to serve its guests.

Some of the officials ex-pected to show include JolietMayor Thomas Giarrante,Will County Executive LarryWalsh and state Sen. Pat Mc-Guire, D-Joliet.

“A lot of the time, ourguests don’t know who theirlocal representation is,” saidSandi Perzee, MorningStarMission business manager.

The Joliet charity is ex-tending its invitation to anyother city and county offi-cials too, she said.

“There’s no politicking go-ing on there at all. All our lo-cal government officials arevery involved with Morning-Star and I feel like they havemade it a point to be aware –or more aware – of their com-munity,” Perzee said.

Catholic Charities, 203 N.Ottawa St., has put out fourmobile food pantries thismonth for National Hungerand Homelessness Aware-ness Week, said KathleenLangdon, development andcommunications director.

She said Catholic Char-ities also is running a fooddrive at the shelter’s soupkitchen called Shepherd’s Ta-ble.

“People can just bringtheir food right into the Cath-olic Charities Daybreak Cen-ter and let them know it’s inhonor [of the week],” Lang-don said.

While this week is meantto recognize people who arehomeless or starving, it’s notthe only time to do so, Perzeesaid. Neither are the holi-days.

P e r z e e s a i d d u r i n gThanksgiving and Christmasthe agency gets many callsfrom people wanting to vol-unteer and MorningStar Mis-sion tries to encourage themto continue to help through-out the year.

“Many times people dotake advantage of [the volun-teer work] and become volun-teers,” she said.

“People can just bringtheir food right intothe Catholic CharitiesDaybreak Center and letthem know it’s in honor

[of the week].”Kathleen Langdon

[email protected]

ROMEOVILLE – No onewas injured in a fire thatcaused heavy damage to a

house Wednesday morning.Assistant Fire Chief Mike

Flaherty said three residentsgot out of the home before fire-fighters arrived, but two dogsdied in the blaze.

The fire was reported at 6:52a.m. in the 200 block of KarenAvenue and was extinguishedin about 15 minutes, Flahertysaid.

The cause of the fire was

under investigation Wednes-day afternoon, but it is not con-sidered suspicious, Flahertysaid.

Lockport Township, Plain-field and Lemont firefighters

assisted Romeoville.“The house is uninhabit-

able and we contacted the RedCross to arrange a place to stayfor the residents,” Flahertysaid.

By SARWAT S. AHMADShaw Media correspondent

JOLIET – The Joliet Town-ship High School District 202annual property tax bill is ex-pected to go up between $9 and$22, depending on the value ofa home – if the school boardapproves a recommended taxlevy.

The school district plans toask for a slightly higher taxextension in its 2014 propertytax levy.

The school board is setto vote on the tax levy at itsDec. 16 meeting. There willbe no public hearing, sincethe expected increase in theproposed levy is less than 5percent, Assistant Superin-tendent for Business ServicesIlandus Hampton said.

With property values, orequalized assessed value, hav-ing decreased by 5.06 percent

and the consumer price indexhaving increased by 1.5 per-cent last year, District 204 willrequest about $63.74 millionin property taxes not subjectto a tax cap. This is up about4.9 percent from last year’s ac-tual levy of $60.71 million.

According to Hampton’sreport, the annual impactof the levy will result in atax increase of about $9 fora home with a market valueof $100,000, $16 for a $150,000home, and $22 for a $200,000home.

The district works withproperty value estimates andnew construction with thehelp of township assessor of-fices, and with property val-ues being limited by tax caps,the requested amount is high-er than what the district willactually receive, Hamptonsaid.

“Unfortunately, we expect

another decrease in our EAV,but this was expected lastyear,” Hampton said. The 5.06percent decrease is compara-ble to the average decrease ofa little more than 5 percentthroughout the county, headded.

Since 2009, property val-ues within District 204 havedropped from $3.1 billion toabout $2.5 billion, accordingto Hampton’s report.

However, according to theassessors offices’ estimates,EAV may stabilize by nextyear and “we will begin to seesome growth,” Hampton said.

The district also will askfor an additional tax levy of$9.86 million on limited bonddebt, which does not have taxcaps, according to Hampton’sreport.

Audit reviewedIn other news, the district

received a generally positiveaudit report for the last fiscalyear that ended June 30. How-ever, the district’s accoun-tants recommended it contin-ue minimizing deficits in theeducation fund.

District 204 saw a 10.6 per-cent increase in its net assets,to $64.8 million on June 30,2014, up from $58.6 million lastyear, according to the reportpresented by Audit Super-visor Dave Meyer of the ac-counting firm Wermer, Rog-ers, Dorand & Ruzon.

This increase is attributedto the issuance of new bondslast year, according to the re-port.

The report highlighted thatactual spending in the generalfund’s education account ex-ceeded its budget by 13.7 per-cent, from a budget of $64.82million to actual spending of$73.71 million.

However, the district’s ac-tual revenues of $75.79 millionfor last year also exceededbudgeted revenues of $64.94million.

The auditor recommendedthe district review increas-es over budgeted amounts toadjust for additional neededfunds or “begin to decreasefuture costs in order to avoidbudget and cash flow short-falls in the long-term.”

The district approved a fi-nal 2014-15 budget in Septem-ber that projects a deficit of$137,312, with total revenuesof about $100.09 million andexpenses of about $100.22 mil-lion.

Hampton has said in thepast that “the district’s goalis to have smaller deficits.”In 2012 and 2013, the districtfaced budgeted deficits of $6.2million and $8.9 million, re-spectively.

Minooka high schoolplans to issue bonds

By JEANNE MILLSAPShaw Media correspondent

MINOOKA – In a unani-mous vote, the Minooka Com-munity High School District111 board of education ap-proved a resolution Tuesdaydeclaring its intent to issue $12million in working cash fundbonds.

A public hearing on the mat-ter is scheduled to take placebefore the board’s regular Dec.18 meeting, after which a votecould be taken on the bond is-suance.

Board member and financecommittee chairman KarenBuchanan said the vote couldtake place in December orduring the board’s Januarymeeting, and the amount of thebonds issued might be less than$12 million.

“This will be a short-termdebt that we will pay off in athree-year period,” Buchan-

an said.Buchanan added this was

the first time in several yearsthe district has had to borrowto pay day-to-day operating ex-penses.

Board member MarkFrench said the continuing de-cline of the equalized assessedvalue of property in the districtis depleting the district’s funds,as it has been in most localschools, he said.

“It’s a way for us to mini-mize the decrease in the EAV,”French said after the meeting.

The high school district isoperating with an annual defi-cit. This year, that deficit willbe $3.5 million.

Revenues are projected tototal $35 million, and expendi-tures are projected at $38.5 mil-lion.

The district has spent morethan it has taken in for at leastthree years, according to Fi-nance Director John Bryk, but

the end balance of each fund isstill expected to be positive atthe end of the fiscal year, whichis June 30.

In a previous meeting, Bryksaid if expenditure projectionscontinue, and if the equalizedassessed valuation of propertydoesn’t increase quickly, thesurplus end balances in thefunds could end in about 18months. The EAV, he said, isexpected to drop by 5 percentthis year, and the district ismaxed out on its tax rate.

One expense that will bereduced next summer is exec-utive administrative salaries,which includes pay for super-intendents and the adminis-trative assistant and has risen55 percent this year because ofdual superintendent salaries.The board this week had to ap-prove an administrative costwaiver because administrativesalary costs have increased bymore than 5 percent.

Channahon plans to keephold line on tax levy

By JEANNE MILLSAPShaw Media correspondent

CHANNAHON – Home-owners might not see muchof a change in Channahon’sportion of their property taxesthis year, as village trusteesare leaning toward keepingthe levy about the same as lastyear.

The estimated impact onvillage taxes next year willbe an increase of about $5 per$100,000 of assessed valuation.

Finance Director HeatherMorandi presented the Vil-lage Board on Monday witha choice of six scenarios oflevies, tax rates and revenues.The board unofficially wentwith the lowest levy. A vote onthe levy is slated for Dec. 15.

“We always try to stay be-low 70 cents,” Village PresidentJoe Cook said of the tax rate.

If approved next month,Channahon’s proposed levywould be $2.107 million,which could result in a taxlevy of 0.7866. Last year’s levywas $2.106 million, with a taxlevy of 0.748.

The figures are based on re-cent equalized assessed valua-tion estimates from Will andGrundy counties, which havedecreased again for the fifthyear in a row. Morandi saidthe EAV suggests a reductionin local property value of $15.7million, or 5.55 percent.

After the meeting, Moran-di said the owner of a $100,000house likely will see less thana $5 increase next year in thevillage’s portion of their prop-erty taxes.

The board also addressedother matters.

• Trustees heard there werefew findings on this year’s

financial audit. Ed Marso, ofWermer, Rogers, Doran andRuzon, said the audit wentwell and there were no signifi-cant findings. One suggestionMarso gave was for the villageto create a budget line item forcontingencies.

• The board approved buy-ing a few new street light sets.The sets will be bought fromCrescent Electric of Joliet for$21,963, which staff said wouldsave the village about $5,500over purchasing one at a time.

• The board also ap-proved rebuilding the vil-lage’s waste-activated sludgepumps. For a fee of $19,680,Flow Technics will remove,inspect, replace, test and rein-stall the pumps, which are inneed of routine maintenance,according to Ed Dolezal, thevillage’s public works direc-tor.

Kimberly Lightford, D-Maywood,pushed the effective date of thelegislation from January to July,meaning lawmakers could passit with just a simplemajority andbefore Republican Gov.-electBruce Rauner takes office.The planwould increase Illinois’

minimumwage of $8.25 in incre-ments to $11.In announcing her plan, Light-

ford cited strong state voter sup-port behind a nonbinding referen-dum to raise theminimumwageto $10 an hour – an amount shecalled the “basic minimum.” Shewas joined by fellow Democratsand a homelessminimum-wageearner from Chicago.Lightfordmade the announce-

ment on the first day of the two-week veto session, where expec-tations of addressing a number ofsubstantive issues remained low.Hours later, the Senate ExecutiveCommittee approved the propos-al, sending it to the full chamberfor consideration.The proposal would raise the

minimumwage to $10 an hour forworkers ages 18 and older by July1, 2015; $10.50 by July 2016; and$11 by July 2017.

Frerichs: ‘Treasurerfor all’ after slim winagainst GOP’s Cross

By JOHN O’CONNORThe Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – IllinoisSen. Mike Frerichs won thestate treasurer’s post by about9,600 votes after Republicanopponent Tom Cross conced-ed the hard-fought contestWednesday.

The Democrat from Cham-paign, who claimed the titleas chief state investor 15 daysafter his initial 19,500-voteelection-night deficit, told re-porters he received a “good”and “gracious” concessioncall from Cross, the formerHouse minority leader fromOswego.

Frerichs benefited fromlate-arriving mail-in and pro-visional votes in a year whenDemocrats passed a law mak-ing it easier to vote.

And he acknowledged hereceived support from inde-pendents who backed Repub-lican Bruce Rauner over Gov.Pat Quinn in the gubernatori-al race.

“We’ve tried to appeal toeveryone, but what we’regoing to try to focus on now,after the course of a long cam-paign where we were fightingfor votes, is not we’ll be thetreasurer for all 13 millionpeople in the state of Illinois,”Frerichs said. “Partisanshipfalls aside.”

Frerichs, who plans tomeet Thursday with gover-nor-elect Rauner, announcedhis transition team would beheaded by Michael Carrigan,president of the Illinois AFL-CIO, and U.S. Rep. Robin Kel-ly, a former deputy treasurerwho lost the 2010 race for thepost.

The campaign to replaceGOP Treasurer Dan Ruther-ford, who dropped out of hisrun for governor, dragged onfor weeks after Nov. 4. Therace had prompted talk of a re-count, recalled past statewidenail-biters and had allusionsto legends of Chicago Demo-

crat-machine politics withGOP allegations of voting ir-regularities, but ended withcivility.

“Sen. Frerichs has demon-strated time andtime again hiscommitment toour state andthat will serveall of us wellas he becomesIllinois’ nextstate treasur-er,” Cross saidin a preparedstatement justafter he calledFrerichs.

Some watch-ing the hard-f o u g h t r a c e ,w h i c h b o t hc a m p a i g n sagreed early

this week was separated byfewer than 400 votes, thoughtit would be the closest contestin state history since at leastthe 1800s, according to an As-sociated Press analysis. Whileit’s likely the final margin willbe by thousands – not hun-dreds – of votes, it still couldstill land in the top three.

The Election Day narra-tive focused almost solely onRauner topping Quinn, giv-ing the GOP the governor’sseat for the first time in 12years. But Frerichs’ triumphleaves Republicans with justone other statewide consti-tutional officer – re-elect-ed Comptroller Judy BaarTopinka.

That puts a damper onthe post-election GOP glow,particularly combined withtrends that show Democratsmaintaining a veto-proofmajority in the House, anadvantage they hold in theSenate.

Republicans had made sev-eral charges of voting irregu-larities in Chicago and subur-ban Cook County.

In Chicago, some invalidabsentee ballots were improp-

erly mixed with valid ones,but the city’s Board of Elec-tion Commissioners rebuttedmost of the charges even asRepublican U.S. Sen. MarkKirk sought intervention bythe U.S. attorney in Chicago.A spokesman for the U.S. at-torney would not commentWednesday.

In suburban Cook County,the Cross campaign alleged ithad examined 8,000 cases peo-ple requesting mail-in ballotsand found 235 where votersappeared to have cast ballotstwice.

But Cook County Clerk Da-vid Orr told the AP on Tues-day that his office didn’t findany inappropriately talliedballots. In 86 cases, mail-inballots were unsigned, inval-idating them, so election of-ficials contacted each voterand they appeared on ElectionDay.

Orr said he appreciatesactivists’ involvement in theprocess, but was irked that theCross campaign publicizedthe concern in a news releasebefore alerting authorities.That “hurts democracy,” Orrsaid.

“I certainly know the oldrumors associated with CookCounty,” Orr said. “But as wemove into the future, we wantto be careful about unsubstan-tiated allegations.”

Secret Service chief:Agency’s morale sufferingWASHINGTON – The acting

director of the Secret Servicewarned lawmakers Wednesdayof “potentially dire consequenc-es” from lowered morale andoperational security at the agen-cy. He vowed to do better.Joseph Clancy offered the

assessment in testimony to theHouse Judiciary Committee,making his first appearance onCapitol Hill since his appoint-ment last month to lead theembattled agency. The agencyhas suffered a string of embar-rassments, including a fencejumper who made it into theWhite House, which led to theresignation of its previous chief.Clancy acknowledged the

agency has fallen short of itsgoal of perfection. He also of-fered a mea culpa over the Sept.19 fence-jumping incident.

Attacks put a dividedJerusalemon edgeJERUSALEM – Streets are

subdued, marketplaces are quiet,and people are on edge in Jewishareas of Jerusalem, where Arabshave used meat cleavers, guns,screwdrivers and even their carsin deadly, small-scale attacks.The holy city – which Israel

says must forever stay united –rarely has seemed more divided.In their 47th year of occupa-

tion, Palestinians are seethingwith anger over neglect anddiscrimination, continued Jewishsettlement in their areas, and a

belief, despite official denials,that Israel is scheming to takeover their most revered site.This anger, coupled with Jew-

ish fears of further violence, hasleft the city’s 800,000 residentsapprehensive, seemingly unitedin the belief that things will getworse before they get better.

CDC chief drops worst-case Ebola estimateNEW YORK – The government’s

Disease Control and Preventionestimated the number of peoplesickened by the Ebola virus couldexplode to as many as 1.4 millionby mid-January without more aid.Things have changed. On

Wednesday, CDC Director Dr.Tom Frieden said, “We don’tthink the projections from overthe summer will come to pass.”Frieden did not provide new

estimates. He was speaking inWashington at a U.S. Senatehearing on preparedness and re-sponse to public health threats.The earlier projection was a

worst-case scenario for report-ed and unreported illnesses inLiberia and Sierra Leone, basedon conditions in late August –before an international surge inmedical aid and supplies. Thatseems to have helped slow theepidemic in Liberia, one of thethree hardest-hit countries.

Obama set to announceaction on immigration

By JIM KUHNHENNand ERICA WERNERThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON – In abroad test of his executivepowers, President BarackObama declared Wednesdayhe will sidestep Congressand order his own federalaction on immigration – inmeasures that could sparefrom deportation as many as5 million people illegally inthe U.S. and set up one of themost pitched partisan con-frontations of his presidency.

Obama declared Washing-ton has allowed America’simmigration problem “to fes-ter for too long.”

The president will usean 7 p.m. address Thursdayto announce his measuresand will sign the executiveactions during a rally Fri-day in Las Vegas. In doingso, Obama will be taking anaggressive stand that he hadonce insisted was beyond hispresidential power.

As many as 5 million peo-ple in the country illegallyare likely to be protectedfrom deportation and madeeligible for work permits un-der the plan. They would nothave a path to citizenship,however, and the actionscould be reversed by a newpresident in two years. Offi-cials said the eligible immi-grants would not be entitledto federal benefits – includ-ing health care tax credits –under Obama’s plan.

The 5 million estimate in-cludes extending deportationprotections to parents andspouses of U.S. citizens andpermanent residents whohave been in the country forfive years.

The president also is like-ly to expand his 2-year-oldprogram that protects youngimmigrants from deporta-tion. The administration hadconsidered extending the ex-ecutive action to parents ofyoung immigrants coveredunder the 2012 Obama direc-

tive, but immigration advo-cates said they did not expectthe parents to be included inthe final plan.

“What I’m going to belaying out is the things thatI can do with my lawful au-thority as president to makethe system better, even as Icontinue to work with Con-gress and encourage them toget a bipartisan, comprehen-sive bill that can solve the en-tire problem,” Obama said ina video on Facebook.

Laying the groundworkfor his actions, Obama invit-ed 18 Democratic members ofthe House and Senate – but noRepublicans – to dinner at theWhite House on Wednesday.Among the networks airinghis Thursday speech will beUnivision, which will inter-rupt the Latin Grammys tocarry his remarks, assuringhim a huge Spanish-speakingaudience. The major broad-cast networks – ABC, CBSand NBC – were not planningto air the speech, but cable

news networks were.Obama is to speak at Las

Vegas’ Del Sol High Schoolon Friday, a school with alarge population of non-En-glish speaking studentswhere Obama unveiled hisblueprint for comprehensiveimmigration legislation in2013.

Republicans vehementlyoppose the president’s likelyactions but are deeply divid-ed and have spent much ofthe week intensely debatinghow to respond. Some conser-vative members have threat-ened to pursue a governmentshutdown and one – two-termRepublican Rep. Mo Brooksof Alabama – raised thespecter of impeachment onWednesday.

House S p e ake r JohnBoehner’s spokesman crit-icized Obama’s planned an-nouncement, noting that thepresident himself had said inthe past that he was not “em-peror” and was limited in hisability to act.

Now is time for actionBy PAM HEAVENS

After months of seeminglyendless negative TV and radio cam-paign ads, plus countless mailings,the election is blissfully over.

For the governor’s race alone,it is estimated that $100 millionwas spent as the two majorcandidates duked it out for ourvotes. As the executive directorof a community-based nonprofitorganization that faces fundingreductions annually, I think ofthe thousands of ways this $100million could have been used tobenefit the tremendous numberof Illinoisans who face a dearth ofbasic human needs each day.

It is now time for those whohave been elected to followthrough with their campaignpromises.

The countless social ills thatplagued our state before Nov. 4remain: homelessness, infant/child/elder abuse, illiteracy,unemployment, people with dis-abilities stuck in nursing homes,lack of community-based men-tal health and substance abuseservices, prenatal care, child care– and the list continues.

No one is immune from eitherbeing in one of these situationsor having a friend who is. Atsome point in our lives, we all

need “shoulders to stand on” toassist us in achieving our uniqueplace as productive members ofsociety. These are the shouldersof teachers, social workers, men-tors, neighborhood leaders andparents. As strong as they are,these shoulders also are in needof continuous strengthening.

All of us must do our part inmaking sure our elected officialsremain faithful to their campaignpromises, such as creating com-petitive jobs, improving educa-tion and restoring balance to oureconomy. We live in a democracywhere everyone’s voice must beheard.

I urge all of us to becomefamiliar with those who representus on all levels: city, township,county, state and federal. Theshoulders on which we stand willbecome stronger as long as wemake our elected officials awareof what we, the voters, want.

Now is the time for action. Letus promise one another we willunite and use “people power” toensure legislators act on behalfof those citizens they representand not those with the biggestcheckbooks.

Remembering Munroe– a lost voice of love

The skies were omi-nously dark as the heavensopened. It was a downpourover the island of Nassau,in the Bahamas, just hoursafter the Nov. 9 plane crashdeath of Myles Munroe, hiswife and seven others. As far as anyonein Nassau was concerned, it was theonly appropriate weather.

Munroe was the senior pastor of theBahamas Faith Ministries Internation-al Fellowship; he died on his way to aChristian leadership conference he washeadlining. When I arrived on Nassauonly hours after the crash that tragicallyended his life, the island was repletewith shock, anguish and tribute.

The weather may have been a coinci-dence, but it was certainly poetic. Poetic,too, in a way, was that he died with hiswife at his side, as men, women andmarriage were topics close to the heartof his ministry.

In a recent book, “The Purpose andPower of Love and Marriage,” Munroehad asked about marriage: “Will theinstitution of marriage survive theonslaught of negative reports, horrorstories and the proponents of radicalsociety change who promote the ideathat marriage has outlived its usefulnessand value to human society?”

He contended: “It is my belief that nomatter how advanced man may becomein science, technology, systems andknowledge, he can never improve on thefoundational precepts of marriage as thebedrock of social development.”

And even though modern societytends to look upon such claims withskepticism, Munroe concluded withconfidence: “It is my conviction thatmarriage is such a good idea, only Godcould have thought of it.”

Now, while you may not agree withthat, surely you do see the misery in ourmidst. Many people don’t know what asuccessful marriage looks like, neverhaving seen one. People frequentlythink marriage is unattainable and evenundesirable. People reject it or seek torework it as something it is not.

Of course, if you Google Munroe’sname, some headlines mark his deathwith the likes of “Preacher who out-raged many with his views on women

and gays.” While I can’tpretend to be an expert oneverything the man said,my recent quick study –having been introduced tohis thought the morningafter his death – primar-

ily has been an immersion in practicalideas to help mend our ailing culture. Inthe most general and confident terms,Munroe saw in the human person tre-mendous potential for creation. And sohe gave thanks to God, to a creator whoknows us better than we know our-selves, and had a plan in mind when hecreated us as man and woman.

In a time where all too many peoplesettle for shallow distractions or emptybromides, Munroe did his part to be aservant, to make the world a more mean-ingful and kinder place.

The truth is, we can’t afford to be apost-marriage culture. Talking aboutmen, women, marriage and children canseem controversial, but it also is crucial.As an opening video for the ecumenicalHumanum conference convening inRome this week – with a welcome fromPope Francis – puts it, “the God whocreated the universe created humansexuality.” Quite bluntly, as one speakerexplained: Man and woman “fit.”

In an interview that has become morepopular in his death than in his life,Munroe talked about emptying one-self out in sacrificial love for God andothers: “Don’t die old, die empty. That’sthe goal of life. Go to the cemetery anddisappoint the graveyard.”

And don’t be afraid, as has been said,to pursue, protect, defend and nourishthe truth about the good life, one thatmakes sense and helps us fruitfullyflourish together.

The Rev. Myles Munroe emptiedhimself in loving service, spreadingthe word of eternal wisdom and design.Will we do that too? Will we welcome,encourage, celebrate and protect thosewho do?

21USF gets win in home, conference opener

By CURT [email protected]

JOLIET – Although itsseason is just getting started,the University of St. Francismen’s basketball team alreadyis seeing some encouragingsigns.

The Fighting Saints wontwo of their first three gamesand put up a good fight againstDivision I Eastern Michigan inan exhibition before kickingoff their home and conferenceopener Wednesday against Cal-umet College of St. Joseph.

USF moved in front short-ly before the break and man-aged to maintain a fairly safeadvantage throughout the fi-nal half as it captured an 85-75Chicagoland Collegiate Ath-letic Conference South Divi-sion victory over the CrimsonWave at the Sullivan Center.

“We knew that this gamewas going to be difficult sinceCalumet St. Joseph was play-ing really well late last yearand it returned six key play-ers,” USF coach Ryan Markssaid. “The thing that we feelgood about as a group is thatthis was our sixth game, andwe’ve shown a good growthcurve. I think that we’ve donesomething and more effectivein each game.

“We love to play some D-Iexhibition games for the expe-rience and to test us. I thoughtour games against Eastern Il-linois and Eastern Michiganmade us better. To be able toplay competitively with East-ern Michigan as long as we didwas a great confidence boost.I think that we can get prettyclose to our potential sincethis is a really unselfish groupand collectively they like oneanother. There’s a really goodcamaraderie among the guys.”

The Saints (3-1, 1-0) not onlyspread out the scoring againstCalumet St. Joseph (4-4, 0-1)but also shot well from thefloor and took good care of thebasketball.

USF shot 30 of 55 (54.5 per-cent) from the floor during thegame, which included 17-of-27accuracy (63 percent) duringthe final half. It also commit-ted just nine turnovers.

Plainfield South graduateEdvinas Presniakovas led allscorers with 23 points, con-

necting on eight of his 11 shotattempts. He also grabbed ateam-high seven rebounds.

Ilya Ilyayev contributed 21points after making all four ofhis 3-point attempts. Jo Jo Bal-lestero added 12 points, JensKennedy chipped in with 11points and six rebounds, and

Jake Raspopovich contributedsix points and six assists forthe Saints.

“I’m really happy sincewe’re improving in everygame,” Presniakovas said. “Asthe games have started to comealong, we’re playing together,everyone’s getting their looks,

and right now it’s just greatteam basketball, and we justhave to keep improving. Lastyear, we had a lot of leads butlost them late, so our focus isto [keep] playing smart andnot rushing shots.

“It was a great sign thatwe played well against a very

tough EMU team. We playedgreat team defense and of-fense and all-around werepretty good in that game. Ilike the unselfishness on thisteam. Anybody on any givennight can go for 20 points. Wedon’t focus on stats; we justgo out there and play, and ifsomebody’s hot, then we findthem.”

Michael Brooks (18 points),Brian Brilmyer (15 points,nine rebounds) and RobertJackson (14 points) led the wayfor the Crimson Wave, whotrailed, 42-38, at halftime.

The visitors closed to with-in 70-64 with 7:17 left but thenUSF used a 9-0 spurt to put thegame out of reach.

Kennedy started the runwith a layup, and Presniako-vas followed by getting a re-bound of his own miss and put-ting it in while getting fouledto set up a conventional three-point play.

Matt Sherriff (five points)made a layup following a passfrom Presniakovas, who putin another rebound bucket tocomplete the decisive run.

Lemont, as usual,is a bear in playoffs

A strong regular-season schedule issupposed to prepare a high school foot-ball team for whatever it may encounterin the playoffs.

Usually, that is the case unlessinjuries prove too much to overcome atplayoff time.

Under former coach Eric Michaelsen,Lemont through the years defied thattheory and trumpeted one of its own –when you’re good, you’re good.

This season provides another primeexample. The Indians (12-0), under first-year coach Bret Kooi and an experiencedstaff, will travel to Peoria Stadium at 3pm. Saturday to take on Peoria NotreDame (12-0) in a semifinal clash of Class6A unbeatens.

The Indians played a mere two even-tual playoff teams in their nine-weekregular season. The South SuburbanBlue for years has not been considered astrong football conference, and Lemonthas not played the strongest nonconfer-ence schedule, either.

So here the Indians are, baskingin the glory of the state semifinals forthe fifth time in eight years. Last yearended a streak where they had made sixstraight quarterfinal appearances. Intwo of those seasons, they played for thestate championship; and in two others,they suffered heartbreaking semifinallosses.

Go figure. How much success wouldthe Indians have enjoyed had theyplayed the tough schedule we assume isso beneficial?

Lemont’s closest regular-season gamewas a 17-7 nonconference win over Plain-

field South in the season opener. In theplayoffs, the Indians ripped Thornton,28-0, and Yorkville, 35-14, in Rounds 1and 2. Last week, they led Richards, 19-0,with a minute left before settling for a19-13 victory.

Notre Dame played five playoff teamsin the regular season and has beatenGalesburg, 42-7, Chatham Glenwood,41-0, and East St. Louis, 49-27, in theplayoffs. One regular-season victim wasPeoria, which eliminated Morris, 40-28,in a Class 5A quarterfinal last week. No-tre Dame beat Peoria, 60-26, in Week 4.

My gut feeling is this one probablywill go Notre Dame’s way. Then again,I’m among those who probably haveunderestimated the Indians all season.

In the Herald-News weekly rankings,we did not have Lemont in the top 10early on. Then after the Indians crackedthe top 10, they hardly zipped up theboard even though they were unbeatenthroughout and thrashing everyone.

Part of that was their relatively softschedule, and part of it was believingthe Joliet area teams ranked above themwould beat them on a neutral field.

We were looking forward to a Lin-coln-Way West versus Lemont quar-terfinal; and in the back of my mind,I thought West would win that game.It never happened because Richardsderailed West, 34-27, in Round 2.

After that game, I felt Richards wasthe team to beat in that bracket. Wrong!Lemont was a minute away from beatingthe Bulldogs handily.

No doubt Lemont has reached thepoint where it deserves the utmost re-spect come playoff time. I just wish therewas something on Notre Dame’s resuméthat indicated the Irish are not that good.

Lemont’s quarterfinalwin almost went haywire

By TIM CRONINShaw Media Correspondent

OAK LAWN – One of the rea-sons Lemont is undefeated – 12victories with nary a setback – isthe sense in the Indians’ lockerroom that the outcome is only theresult of the planning, effort andexecution in a given week.

That was the feeling Saturdaynight right after Lemont’s 19-13victory over Richards (10-2) atKorhonen Field.

A win is a win, especially inthe playoffs. But the Class 6Aquarterfinal encounter betweenthe two South Suburban Confer-ence powers almost went hay-wire. Lemont led, 19-0, into the

final minute until a pair of touch-down passes and a pair of onsidekicks recovered by Richards setup a last-minute heave by quar-terback Husan Muhammad-Rog-ers to Romello Boykin that wouldhave tied the game – except forFlynn Nagel jumping up andswatting away the aerial.

To a man, the Indians thoughtthat was too close for comfort.

Yes, Lemont will be going toSaturday’s semifinal date withunbeaten Peoria Notre Dame at 3p.m. at Peoria Stadium, but with-out the sense of complete accom-plishment that a 19-0 score mighthave brought.

See LEMONT, page 23

“That’s disappointing thatthat happened,” Lemont coachBret Kooi said of the defensivecollapse in the last minute.“It’s sad, very sad that it camedown to that. What do yousay?”

Until then, Kooi was de-lighted. The planning and ef-fort were manifested in superi-or execution.

“Our defense played abso-lutely lights-out awesome,”he said. “Offensively, we gota little bit too conservative, orI did, in the second half. Theway our defense was playing... we had a couple of chances

to put it away, and we didn’t.And, unfortunately, they madeit interesting at the end.”

Notre Dame will be con-cerned with the Lemont show-case of the first 47 minutes. Theway quarterback Ryan Daw-son ran the offense efficientlyfor the most part, except for afumble – which the Indians’defense negated thanks to agoal-line stand in the secondquarter – and an interception.

Dawson was 15 of 27 for 126yards, throwing to a half-doz-en receivers. Nagel had 120yards combined receiving andrushing, including overhandpitches that, with his speed,had the effect of swing passes.Their most notable collabora-tion was the 9-yard touchdown

pass that boosted Lemont’slead to 14-0 midway throughthe second quarter, cappinga 30-yard drive. The marginclimbed to 19 points before theBulldogs rallied.

“Our offense, we’ve got toclean things up,” Nagel said.“We put the defense in toughsituations early on. They re-sponded really well. We hada solid run game. When theyblock up front, it’s pretty easyto run the ball behind them.That was part of the success inthe second half.

“I think we got a little overour heads.”

The Irish also will be look-ing closely at the Indians’ ag-gressive defensive front. Theyharassed the Bulldogs contin-

ually and allowed linebackerHunter LaDuke to chase Mu-hammad-Rogers much of thenight.

“Our team speed’s verygood up front,” Kooi said. “It’ssomething that we’re verygood at. I think we’re balanced.Defensively, we play goodfootball. Special teams-wise, Ithink we’re pretty solid. Offen-sively, we have our momentsof being very explosive.”

Lemont’s defense held theBulldogs – a team that piled up407 points in the first 11 games– to 164 yards, 160 through theair. And 90 of the passing yardscame on the two frantic scoringdrives in the final minute.

“You’ve seen a side of usyou haven’t seen before,”

LaDuke said. “We’re going on,faster, faster, harder, harder.We’ve got nothing to lose andso much to gain. Defensively,this was by far our best game.”

This is the fifth time in eightyears Lemont has reached thesemifinals and the third timethe Indians have barged intothe semifinals with a 12-0 re-cord. They also were undefeat-ed in 2008 and 2011, both timesunder Eric Michaelsen.

The 2008 edition advancedto the Class 6A champion-ship game by rolling over An-tioch, while the 2011 team wasstopped by Peoria Richwoods,34-31, in double-overtime atFred Enders Field in the semi-finals. The Indians had ledthat game, 28-14.

IHSA CLASS 4A FOOTBALL QUARTERFINAL REVIEW

They were the calls that saved Coal CityBy MARK JOHNSON

Shaw Media Correspondent

COAL CITY – It could godown in Coal City footballlore as “The Comeback,” andits most critical moment was“The Call” – or “The Calls.”

The decision to go for a two-point conversion and the winrather than kick and play forovertime at home was not theonly pivotal one made by theCoal City coaching staff late inlast Saturday’s Class 4A statequarterfinal game againstManteno. The play dialed upby Coalers offensive coordi-nator Jim Mikula, a handoffto Corey Jurzak on an end-around, was every bit as inter-esting.

Thirty-nine of the Coalers’55 offensive plays during thegame had been Jack Dibbleruns; and of their 273 net of-fensive yards, Dibble had 268.The ball appeared to be go-ing to Dibble again when theCoalers initially snapped theball on the play after Dibble’sfourth touchdown run of theday, although whistles blew ashe was receiving the handofffrom Nick Micetich becauseManteno had called timeout.

At that point, coach Len-ny Onsen said, the Coalers’coaching staff convened, andMikula led their collectivedecision to try to take advan-

tage of Manteno’s expectationthat Dibble would get theball again. Micetich faked ahandoff to Dibble on the re-try before giving the ball in-stead to Corey Jurzak on anend-around. Jurzak was ableto break into the end zone forthe tying and go-ahead pointsin what would soon be a 29-28Coalers victory.

“You hope not to out-thinkthe situation,” Mikula said.“I just told coach O, ‘Let’sgo with that sweep. If we seethem jump the motion, we’lltry to hit a quick timeout andchange it up.’

“I know our team mightseem one-dimensional, butit is a big group of unself-ish guys. There was no sec-ond-guessing that or anything.They have all the faith in theworld in each other. There areseveral hard-nosed kids thatI could have handed that balloff to, and Corey Jurzak was agreat selection to get in thereand get it done.”

Before last Saturday, Jur-zak had carried the ball 11times all season. He said jetsweeps to him only really be-came a part of the Coalers’offense in their 25-20 Round2 win at St. Edward of Elgin.Perhaps they will be in themix in Saturday’s semifinalas the Coalers challenge pow-erful Chicago Phillips (11-1) at

3:45 p.m. at Gately Stadium.“We started really doing

them last week, against the[Green] Wave,” Jurzak said.“That started really workingout, so we knew we had to in-corporate that in this game.”

There had been some suc-cess using the play prior tothe two-point try. Jurzak hadgains of 14 and 8 yards on twosuch attempts during the finaldrive.

“That last drive, they reallyweren’t handling that motionwell,” Mikula said. “The bigthing we preach with these

kids is our conditioning andour weight-room ethic, that inthe fourth quarter, we can runpeople over.

“We just had that in-side-outside combo working.They weren’t getting to thatmotion very well. They hadsome guys dropping. Thatwhole drive really establishedthe faith to go to that in theend there.”

Even so, Mikula knew thatif he took the ball out of thehands of a player who had 339touches on the season and putit in the hands of a player who

had 16 – and failed – the sec-ond-guessing might be heardfor days, weeks, months oreven years around Coal City.

“I told Corey before theplay, ‘You do not stop runninguntil you’re in the back of theend zone, just to be sure,’ ” Mi-kula said, “and after the game,I said, ‘You know, I gottathank you, ‘cause if that didn’twork, I’m the biggest idiot onthe face of the Earth.’ But youcan say that so many times,and you just gotta go withyour gut, and that was my gutright there.”

Dibble had no problem ced-ing the spotlight to his team-mate and having his role re-duced to a very effective decoywith the game on the line.

“I agree with everythingcoach says. I mean, he knowsa lot more about football thanI do,” Dibble said. “We cameout, and I think the attitudewas they’re gonna be keyingon me, so give it to somebodyelse and see if we can’t get theend zone.

“That jet sweep playworked all game; so when wecame out, when coach calledit, I had full confidence in hisknowledge, because I thinkthat they thought what every-body else thought – that it’s go-ing to 44 [Dibble]. But it endedup going to 2 [Jurzak], and 2got in the end zone.”

BEARS INSIDER

Lovie reflects on positivesof his time with the Bears

It is almost impossible tothink about the Bears meetingSunday with the Tampa BayBuccaneers without focusingon the return of Lovie Smithand Josh McCown to Chicago.

Smith was the head coachof the Bears for nine seasons,almost 10 percent of the entirehistory of the franchise.

In the 48-year history of theSuper Bowl, the Bears havebeen there only twice, onceunder Smith. His Bears wonthree NFC North titles andplayed in two NFC Champi-onship games, both at SoldierField.

But Smith actually isremembered more for the sixseasons in which his clubsdidn’t make the playoffs andhis failure to build a competi-tive NFL offense with four dif-ferent coordinators includingTerry Shea, Ron Turner, MikeMartz and Mike Tice.

And, of course, there wasthe decision to fire Ron Riveraafter the 2006 Super Bowlappearance in spite of his de-fenses had been nothing shortof outstanding.

The last straw for Smith inChicago was, in spite of going10-6 in 2012, first-year generalmanager Phil Emery fired himfor failing to make the playoffsin five of his last six seasons.

“Oh, I’m proud of every-

thing we were able to do,”Smith said. “I loved my timethere. I loved the organiza-tion that I worked for and theopportunity that they gaveme and, as much as anything,the players that I got a chanceto lead and to coach. The life-time memories, the lifetimerelationships that I was ableto form from being there, ofcourse that’s what will staywith me forever.”

Smith refuses to be angryabout the way things endedhere. He still feels getting thejob was “a dream come true.Everything that you thoughtwas kind of how it turned outbeing for me. To come to a sto-ried franchise with a great fanbase and to just help to bringthat fan base and what wasexpected back. The things youdream about are how it reallyturned out for me. I enjoyedevery day I came to work andthe people I had a chance towork with – not only the play-ers, of course, but the staff andthe administration, too.”

Part of the perception ofLovie’s time in Chicago byBears fans is colored by whatwas a deteriorating relation-ship with the local media andfan base in his later years.

“The media had a job – youguys had a job to do. That justhad very little to do with whatI was doing. I knew you guyshad a job, but it just didn’taffect an awful lot about whatI was doing. I was kind offocused in a different area.”

McCown also speaks fondly

of his time in Chicago but issurprised by the way MarcTrestman’s image has sufferedin recent weeks.

“As far as what I under-stood last year, I felt like hewas consistent with his mes-sage as well and didn’t waverfrom that,” McCown said. “Idon’t know if that’s changedor not. I believe again, like Isaid about Lovie, that’s a hardthing to do is to stick to yourguns and to stick to what youbelieve in right in the midst ofturmoil or things that aren’tgoing your way. I appreciatethat from Marc, and I felt itlast year, and I think it wasone of the main things thathelped me play at the level Iplayed at.”

Are Smith and McCownfocused on revenge Sunday?

“As I come in Sunday, I’mcoming in as an opposingcoach,” Smith said. “That’show I’m looking at it. Theyear I had off and just being inChicago for nine years, I don’tneed anything validated thisweek. Fans were great to meand my family while we werethere, [and the] administrationwas. I have lifetime friendson the Chicago Bears footballteam. I think I have all thosethings right now. I’m an oppos-ing coach on the other side ofthe field coming in this week.”

BEARS NOTES

Briggs still singingthe praises of Lovie

By KEVIN [email protected]

LAKE FOREST – LanceBriggs’ reverence for LovieSmith is well-known, and heput his former coach in im-pressive company Wednes-day at Halas Hall.

“Lovie should be remem-bered as one of the greatcoaches in Chicago,” Briggssaid after practice. “GeorgeHalas, you have Mike Ditka,and Lovie Smith comes next.”

Smith will return Sundayto Soldier Field as coach ofthe Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

No one on the 53-manroster was affected moreby playing for Smith thanBriggs, and he told reportersthe ways Smith got the mostout of Briggs, challenginghim and helping develop oneof the game’s better lineback-ers over the past decade.

“Back in ’04, he just chal-lenged me all the time,” hesaid. “You know, it was al-ways, ‘Lance, you’re not go-ing to make that play, he’llnever make that play.’ Andhe’s always talking to likeBrian [Urlacher] or some ofthe other guys, and he’d belike, ‘Lance can’t make thatplay, Derrick Brooks canmake that play, the real 55can make that play.’

“As I started making moreand more of the plays and theyears kind of went on, histune really changed and itwas always, ‘I know where

Lance will be, I know whereLance is going to make thatplay, so that’s not a worry forme.’ And that was earned.That amount of respect fromhim to me was earned andthat goes for all the guys thatwere in that room.”

Injury report: Five starterssat out practice Wednesday.Briggs, Jeremiah Ratliffand Matt Forte each had aveteran’s day off. BrandonMarshall (ankle) and AlshonJeffery (hamstring) did notparticipate, along with Dar-ryl Sharpton (hamstring),Chris Williams (hamstring),Ego Ferguson (illness) andTrevor Scott (knee).

Eben Britton (illness),Jordan Mills (ribs) and JoshMorgan (shoulder) all werelimited. For the Buccaneers,Doug Martin (ankle) was lim-ited.

Improvement on defense:Mel Tucker mentioned Da-vid Bass, Demontre Hurstand Shea McClellin as play-ers who played well in Sun-day’s win over the Vikings.

“We were really excited tosee some of our guys improvein the game. We asked someguys that had been gettingbetter, and it really showedin the game,” he said.

As for using Brock Ver-een on some third-downpassing situations, Tuckermentioned Vereen’s quick-ness, open-field tacklingand smarts as to why he hasearned a role in those plays.

For people needingmeals or companionshipNew Lenox church hosts annual community Thanksgiving celebrationBy DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

[email protected]

NEW LENOX – Unan-nounced guests for Thanks-giving dinner might panicsome hosts, but for GeorgeRumbaugh of Tinley Park,the more, the merrier.

Rumbaugh coordinatesan annual Thanksgivingbanquet for Peace Luther-an Church in New Lenox.For 18 years, Rumbaughhas watched the numberof guests – many of themelderly or disabled, withouttransportation or strugglingfinancially – grow from 75 to150. Guests can either makereservations or just show up.Either way, Rumbaugh wantsa bigger crowd.

“We do this because weknow there are people thatneed a meal or companion-ship,” Rumbaugh said. “I’dlove to have to open up theSunday school rooms to letpeople sit down. It’d be agreat problem to have.”

Dave Hedlin, pastor ofPeace Lutheran Church, saidthe community Thanksgiv-ing celebration is more thana worship service followedby a meal. It is an event thatincludes Santa Claus, gifts,care packages of nonperish-able foods, home delivery forguests who cannot physicallybe present, and transporta-tion for those who can butneed rides.

“We feel so good that weprovide this,” Hedlin said.

Many of the dinner’s 60-plus volunteers – and thatincludes Hedlin, his wife,Carol, and their three daugh-ters (now grown) and Rum-baugh’s family – don’t plan aseparate family Thanksgiv-ing meal at home.

“This has been basicallyour Thanksgiving, too,”Hedlin said. “We havealways celebrated it at thechurch.”

The guests, Hedlin said,include one 93-year-oldwoman from Joshua Arms

Senior Residences in Jolietwho always hopes to liveone more year, just to attendThanksgiving dinner at

Peace Lutheran Church.“When she walks in, she’s

got this cute little smile thatsays, ‘I’m back, and I’m still

here,’ ” Hedlin said.In fact, it’s Hedlin’s

Christ-like care for peoplethat inspired Rumbaugh, hiswife, Cathy, and their sixchildren to join the church 18years ago.

So when Hedlin devisedthe idea for the communitydinner and asked Rumbaughto chair it, Rumbaugh washappy to do so.

Rumbaugh said he didn’trealize at the time thatHedlin had envisioned theevent as an annual one, untilRumbaugh assembled hisnotes at the dinner’s conclu-sion and brought them toHedlin.

“He said, ‘I’d like you tokeep those,’ ” Rumbaughsaid, “and I said, ‘OK.’ ”

What Rumbaugh won’t dois take credit for the dinner’ssuccess.

The volunteers – somewho have helped all 18 yearsand some who are not evenchurch members – are sodedicated that the event prac-tically runs itself, makingplanning meetings almostunnecessary, he added.

“That’s what makes thisso nice,” Rumbaugh said.“There’s not one person thatgoes around and tells every-one else what to do.”

Volunteers make andbring desserts, decorate thehall, buy 40 gifts and raffleitems, purchase nonperish-ables, make reminder calls,transport guests, portraySanta, box up carry-outs, de-liver meals and even happilyclean up, Rumbaugh said.

With the exception of thelarge donation for the mainportion of the Thanksgivingmeal, expenses do not comefrom the volunteers’ wallets.

“Our church budgets forthis,” Rumbaugh said.

The nonperishable carepackages include littlecanned hams, cans of beans,boxes of stuffing that can beprepared on top of a stoveand corn muffin mixes –everything to easily preparea Thanksgiving dinner athome, Rumbaugh said.

In case of a bigger-than-an-ticipated crowd, the churchkeeps canned hams in stock,so no one will leave withouta feast.

Guests even take homeleftovers.

Any remaining food isdonated to MorningStar Mis-sion in Joliet.

“Absolutely nothing goesto waste,” Rumbaugh said.“It all goes to someone thatneeds it at the end of theday.”

Changes made atJCA’s LearningResource Program

THE HERALD-NEWS

JOLIET – Joliet Cath-olic Academy’s LearningResource Program was es-tablished during the 1996-97school year under the direc-tion of Amy Douglas. Its mis-sion was to foster positivelearning attitudes and per-sonal responsibility for selfand environment throughacademic success.

JCA’s Learning ResourceProgram complemented theschool’s curriculum by offer-ing support to those studentsdiagnosed with specific learn-ing disabilities and/or atten-tion deficit disorder. Studentsentering the program re-ceived supplemental instruc-tion with specific emphasison the academic content ofthe individual student’s col-lege preparatory classes.

While Joliet CatholicAcademy continually strivesto offer its students the bestacademic experience avail-able, changes to the Learn-ing Resource Program wereimplemented beginningwith the 2014-15 school year.

The most visible change isto the name of the program.LRP has been replaced byAcademic Resource Center.

The staff – which in-cludes Amy Douglas (direc-tor), Suzi Arnett and JackieCherwin (instructors), hasdeveloped a collaborationwith students, parents, fac-ulty, staff and members of

the JCA community to en-sure every student reachesfull potential.

ARC’s main focus is tomove the program forwardas a center for assistanceand curriculum. The Aca-demic Resource Center willbegin to include studentswho require assistance butmay not have had a historyof needing assistance or anindividualized educationalplan in the past. In addition,ARC will offer support toparents, guidance counsel-ors and teachers.

A donation to the school’sARC program over the sum-mer allowed the center toupgrade the classroom envi-ronment. During the 2011-12school year, LRP lost one ofits students, Matt Mammoss-er, to primary nervous sys-tem metastatic melanoma.

MammosCorner, a foun-dation founded to honorMatt, provided JCA’s Aca-demic Resource Center witha fresh coat of paint, newdoors and a drop ceiling.Adorning the Academic Re-source Center is a plaque inMatt’s memory. He will for-ever be a Hilltopper and partof the ARC and JCA family.

For information on JCA’sAcademic Resource Center,contact Amy Douglas at 815-741-0500, ext. 260, or [email protected]. To findout about MammosCorner,visit www.mammoscorner.com.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

If you have an interest in thehistory of bridge and its forerunners,buy “Bumblepuppy Days” by JulianLaderman (Master Point Press). Youwill find it fascinating as you are ledfrom whist to bridge whist to auctionbridge to contract bridge.

The word bumblepuppy was usedto mean whist being played poorlyor without regard for rules, or a poorwhist player. The term was popularin particular after the publication of“Whist; or Bumblepuppy?” in 1880.

Here is one of the few deals in thebook. In the days of whist, there wasno bidding. South named hearts astrumps, and West made the unfor-tunate opening lead of the club ace.Could South have now won all 13tricks?

Well, he did in Robert Foster’s book,“Foster’s Encyclopedia of Games,”which was published in 1897.

Declarer ruffed the opening leadin the dummy and ran the diamondqueen. When that won, South played adiamond to his jack, ruffed a club in thedummy, led a heart to his 10, played aspade to dummy’s ace, led a heart tohis queen, cashed the heart ace, andtook the club king.

When that established declarer’sclub nine and eight, he claimed. Southtook one spade, four hearts, threediamonds, three clubs and two clubruffs in the dummy.

No doubt you noticed the defense’stwo errors. West’s opening lead wasnot best.

Any other card – even a low club –would have left South unable to win all13 tricks. And East should have covereddummy’s diamond queen with his king.

Maybe in a reprint the authorswitched the diamond 10 and seven.

Dear Doctor K: I haveallergies, and my eyes areaffected the most. They’repuffy, red and itchy. Whatcan I do?

Dear Reader: Pollens,animal dander, dust mitesand mold: The same aller-gens that cause sneezingand an itchy nose andthroat can trigger allergysymptoms that affect youreyes, too. If your eyes arered and itchy, you mayalso have tearing, mucousdischarge and swelling ofyour conjunctiva (the in-side of your eyelid). Thisconstellation of symp-toms is known as allergicconjunctivitis. It can beuncomfortable, but it isnot a threat to vision.

To help improve yoursymptoms, try to avoidwhatever triggers yourallergies. If you are aller-gic to cats, avoid them, orat least don’t touch youreyes when near one. If pol-len is your nemesis, keepyour windows closed. Andkeep an air purifier orair conditioner going inpollen season.

A simple but effectiveremedy is to place a cool,wet washcloth over youreyes. Also, use artificialtears (available withoutprescription) frequently.They’ll give you somerelief and help wash awayallergens.

Try not to rub youreyes. Doing so causesmast cells, which play akey role in allergic reac-tions, to release inflam-mation-causing chemicalsinto the eye. This makessymptoms worse.

If your symptoms ap-pear occasionally, try oneof the newer generationof antihistamines you cantake by mouth. Antihista-mines block the action ofhistamine, a major causeof itchy eyes.

Over-the-counteroptions include lorata-dine (Claritin), cetirizine(Zyrtec) and fexofenadine(Allegra). Others areavailable by prescription.

Another option is eyedrops that contain mastcell stabilizers, which lim-it release of the inflamma-

tion-causing chemicals.During an allergy attack,eye drops work fasterthan pills taken by mouth.

Eye drops that containantihistamines and decon-gestants (medicines thatcause small blood vesselsto narrow) are availableover the counter. Theycan provide quick relief,particularly of the rednessin the eye. But don’t usethese medications formore than a week ortwo, as they can causeexcessive narrowing ofthe blood vessels in youreye. And be prepared fora little redness to returnafter you’ve stopped usingthem.

If your symptomspersist, try eye dropsthat combine a mast cellstabilizer and an antihis-tamine. These drugs areavailable over the counterand by prescription.

If you use multipletypes of eye drops, such asdrops containing an anti-histamine and artificialtears, don’t put both dropsin your eye at the sametime. Wait about fiveminutes between puttingthe two types of drops inyour eye.

Otherwise, the secondtype you put in your eyemay wash away the effectsof the first type.

If your symptoms aresevere and don’t improvewith other medications,ask your doctor about pre-scription eye drops thatcontain corticosteroids.

Pearls Before Swine

Dear Abby: My boyfriend,“Ron,” and I have beentogether for more thana year, and we now livetogether. His garage is fullto overflowing with hisex-girlfriend’s belongings.She apparently left himand all her stuff – includingher four cats – to marrysome guy she met online.She no longer lives in thiscountry.

I’m fine with takingcare of the cats; they areinnocent and I love them.However, I want her stuffout of the garage. Ronthinks it’s “the right thingto do” to keep it until shecan arrange for it to bemoved to her new place.

Abby, it has been a yearand a half! She’s not goingto move this stuff. I wantto donate it or trash it asappropriate, and I don’tthink legally we have anyresponsibility to tell her orask her before we do. Whatdo you think? – Wants ItGone in Oklahoma

Dear Wants It Gone: Itwould be neither appropri-ate nor kind to do anythingto Ron’s ex-girlfriend’s be-longings without warning.Ron should contact her,inform her that he wants touse his garage for the pur-pose it is intended, and askif she wants the items sheleft to be disposed of or putinto storage at her expense.He should allow a reason-able time for her to respondbefore doing anything, andyou should distance your-self from the process.

Dear Abby: I have a friendwith one annoying hab-it. Whenever we have aparty, she’ll invite friendswithout asking first, or bysaying, “I told them it wasOK to come.” It creates aproblem because we planour parties for a certainnumber of guests, andnow there are two, three,sometimes even four more– often on short notice.

I like her friends, butthey are not close friendsof mine. Sometimes I justwould like to have an inti-mate gathering with four tosix people.

At my last gathering she

invited not only her friendsbut also their children.It went from an intimatebrunch for six to a party of12. We even had to set up asecond table.

How can I get her tostop, short of not invitingher to any more of ourparties? I feel stuck in asituation that no matterwhat I do, I’m going to P.O.somebody. Any sugges-tions? – Party Planner inGeorgia

Dear Party Planner: Your“friend” has a lot of nerveand no manners. Sheappears to be using you toentertain her other friends,which is not only rude, butalso extremely presump-tuous. She will continuetreating you this way untilyou call a halt by tellingher to cut it out becauseyou don’t like it. If shecan’t respect your wishesafter that, see her only on aone-on-one basis.

Dear Abby: I know some-one who receives SocialSecurity for her disabledchildren. She uses thatmoney to feed a slotmachine. Those childrencould have so many oppor-tunities if their money wasused appropriately and it’sgoing down the drain. Whatcan I do about it? It saddensme. – Thinking About theKids

Dear Thinking About the Kids:It appears the woman isaddicted to gambling. Whatshe’s doing may “sadden”you, but as a taxpayingAmerican it infuriates mebecause her children aren’tgetting the assistance thatmoney is meant to pro-vide. So please, pick up thephone, call the Departmentof Children’s Services andclue them in to what’s hap-pening. I’m betting they’llbe interested.
