State Rep.Tom Cross

We’re happy to resume Herald AngelsWhen I came to Joliet in

January, one of the first ques-tions I was asked by severalpeople was if the new ownerswere bringing Herald Angelsback.

Herald Angels, I learned,is a campaign of The Her-ald-News to benefit theUnited Way of Will Countythat started in 2009 and ranevery year during the holidayseason through 2012.

The publication providesreaders an easy way to donateto the United Way. Send ina donation, and all of it goesto the United Way, which inturn shares the funding withits 45 partner agencies.

We are thrilled to bringthe campaign back this year.Community advocacy is ahuge part of Shaw Media’smission, and resuming Her-ald Angels is just one way weare demonstrating that.

As happy as I am we areresuming Herald Angels, it’salso sobering to realize howmany of our neighbors needthe assistance those 45 UnitedWay partner agencies pro-vide. From food and clothesto shelter and crisis inter-vention, the needs never end.Thankfully, we have those

agencies available to provideassistance to those in need.

We’ll have a story in Mon-day’s edition to kickoff thecampaign. Keep an eye outfor ads in the print editionsduring the next month thatprovide details on how tocontribute. Or, to donate tothe campaign, send a checkpayable to “Herald Angels”to The Herald-News at 2175Oneida St., Joliet, IL, 60435,or go to the United Way ofWill County’s website, www.uwwill.org.

Times have been toughfor many. You may be one ofthose people struggling. So ifyou can, we will be thankfulfor whatever you can donateto the 2014 Herald Angelseffort.

• • •Speaking of being thank-

ful: It’s been a heck of a yearfor me personally. I accepteda new job, moved to Joliet,and started a new profession-al and personal adventure. Ifeel lucky to have landed ina place that immediately felt

like home.I’m thankful for an

editorial staff at the threepublications I oversee whoare committed to providingquality local journalism forour readers.

I’m thankful for our read-ers who buy our productsor visit us online, and whocare enough to write or callme to tell me what they like– or even what they don’t orwould like to see changed –about our publications.

*3COVER STORY

JOLIET – When Carla Bi-son goes into a store, she won-ders – maybe even fears a lit-tle – will it close, and take mymoney with it?

That’s what happened tothe St. Charles resident whenshe spent $3,275 on appliancesat a Grant’s Appliances storein Aurora.

The Joliet-based electron-ics and appliances retailerclosed in October because ofballooning debt, which thecompany plans to pay offthrough a process similar tobankruptcy.

It appears that many cus-tomers who bought TVs, re-frigerators and stoves in thelast days of Grant’s will neversee their appliances – or theirmoney.

“It’s like being robbed, vi-olated,” Bison said. “… Some-one took my hard-earnedmoney … somebody just stolemy money. So, I’m sad, I’m an-gry and I’m very frustrated.”

Customers were left clue-less as to how to get their pur-chases or money back untilthe Illinois Attorney Gener-al’s Office announced Nov. 5the company was undergoingan assignment for benefit ofcreditors to distribute the as-sets.

The company distributingGrant’s assets has sent a letterto customers saying that as ofOct. 23, it appears Grant’s hasmore than twice as much debtas assets. Customers are un-likely to get anything.

The notice from HighRidge Partners Inc. statesthat once payments are madeto holders of security inter-est and liens, “no assets willremain for Grant’s employeewage claims, unpaid taxes, orunsecured creditors includ-ing, without limitation, thosecustomers who paid depositsbut who have not received themerchandise they ordered.”

O n e c u s t o m e r , J o e

Nurczyk of Joliet, got only amicrowave out of the almost$3,000 he spent for multipleappliances. After calling thelocal authorities and gettingnowhere, he said he’s not in-terested in getting the rest ofthe appliances or any moneyback.

“I’m counting it as a loss. Iknow we’ll probably get pen-nies on the dollar,” he said.

Customers were instructedto file a claim for money spent,but many are not optimisticthey’ll get back what theypaid. Many consumer advo-cacy experts agree customersmay not get much compared

to the lenders and banks de-manding money from Grant’s.

One expert found it decep-tive that Grant’s acceptedmoney for purchases until thetime it closed – as one employ-ee said happened – but wasnot certain that it was fraud.

Customers last in lineT h e m y s t e r y b e h i n d

Grant’s closing its five storesin the Chicago area and In-diana on Oct. 8 remainedunsolved for weeks until theIllinois Attorney General Of-fice’s announcement. The at-torney general had received49 complaints as of Nov. 21. In

Indiana, where Grant’s alsohad a store, the attorney gen-eral had six complaints as ofNov. 18.

One clue was a sign on thedoor of the Joliet location thatsaid: “Temporarily closed forinventory.” Company repre-sentatives – including ownersRobert Wysocki and GeorgeOlsen – along with their at-torney have remained silentsince then, despite repeatedattempts to reach them sinceOct. 9.

With the company dissolv-ing its business to pay offcreditors through a generalassignment process – similarto a bankruptcy – it’s now pos-sible customers could receivetheir money.

But it’s not likely.Grant’s assets have been

turned over to assignees withHigh Ridge Partners Inc.,which will distribute themamong creditors, includingcustomers. Several calls madeto assignees with High RidgePartners were not returned.

But according to the lettersent to customers, Grant’s un-verified and unaudited assetsstand at about $6.3 million,while the company has lia-bilities, or debts, of about $15million.

Ira Rheingold, executivedirector of the National As-sociation of Consumer Ad-vocates, said he wasn’t toofamiliar with the general as-signment process, but in thecontext of a bankruptcy, cus-tomers are last in line to re-ceive their share of the assets.

“Consumers are just anoth-er form of creditor. … And thequestion is as a creditor, how

much will they get back?” hesaid.

That could depend on howclaims are processed, howmuch money is left and wherethey fall in line when thatmoney is distributed, he said.

“Is it fair? Absolutely not.… In the context of a bank-ruptcy, consumers alwaysget the short shrift. They areon the lowest end of the cred-it chain for sure,” Rheingoldsaid.

With the Illinois AttorneyGeneral’s Office being in-volved, he said it’s possiblethe distribution of assets willbe more fair. Rheingold saidthe Illinois Attorney Gener-al’s office is very consumerfriendly.

A company might undergoa general assignment becauseit’s a more expedient way toliquidate assets, said Den-nis Horton, director for theRockford branch of the BetterBusiness Bureau. He said ithappens fairly frequently withcompanies shutting down.

Linda Sherry, ConsumerAction spokeswoman, said thesituation is unfair for custom-ers, but any time they makelarge purchases, they shoulduse a credit card. That helps incase a company goes bankrupt.

“Otherwise, you’re a cred-itor in a bankruptcy and youhave to stand in line, andchances are slim you get some-thing back,” she said.

Not necessarily fraudExperts could not deter-

mine if what Grant’s did could

Customers may be last when it comes to payments owed by Grant’s

Local legislators look for more court guidance on Illinois pension reformBy LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

SPRINGFIELD – Local lawmak-ers will look for guidance fromthe Illinois Supreme Court after ajudge’s decision Friday to strikedown a law intended to fix the statepension crisis.

Sangamon County Circuit CourtJudge John Belz ruled Friday thepension overhaul was unconstitu-tional. In the same afternoon, theIllinois State’s Attorney’s Officeannounced plans to immediatelyappeal the decision to the state Su-preme Court.

There, lawmakers like stateSen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and stateRep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood,hope the court will give more clar-ity so legislators can craft a con-stitutional bill that addresses thestate’s $100-billion-and-countingunderfunded pension system.

“From the very beginning, weknew we had to get a piece of leg-islation passed and get it in thecourts so they could determinewhether it’s constitutional or not,”Rezin said. “We can sit and debate

all day long but at the end of theday, we don’t know.”

Under the state constitution,public employee pension bene-fits are a contractual obligationthat cannot be “diminished or im-paired.”

Belz wrote in his ruling that theoverhaul – which reduces annualcost-of-living adjustments for cur-rent and future retirees and setslonger retirement ages – was “un-constitutional and void in its en-tirety.”

“Those are very strong words,but it’s not a surprise,” said Rez-in, who supported the pensionbill’s passage in December 2013.“We hope the court can give somea roadmap on where to go fromhere.”

Walsh another supporter of thebill, agreed.

“Even if they concur with to-day’s ruling, I hope the justiceson the Supreme Court can at leastgive us some direction on wherethe state can go with this,” he said.

State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Jo-liet, echoed those sentiments.

“I’m hoping they’ll say ‘Hey,

this part is constitutional. Thispart isn’t,’” she said. “I hope theycan give us some sort of frameworkwe can work with.”

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARDIn the event the Illinois Su-

preme Court upholds Belz’s ruling,state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet,said the state could revisit theunion-backed Senate Bill 2404,which passed overwhelmingly bythe Senate but was never called fora vote in the House last year.

Unlike the pension overhaulstruck down Friday, Senate Bill2404 gives state employees a choice,he said, which is one way aroundthe Constitution clause that barsthe state from reducing benefitsunilaterally.

“It’s back to the drawing board,but the drawing board isn’t emp-ty,” McGuire said.

“Senate Bill 2404 rests on thebelief that state pensions are a con-tractual relationship,” he added.“Under contract law, as long as theprinciples of acceptance and con-sideration, which I know as ‘giveand take,’ are observed, it could be

seen as constitutional.”Both McGuire and Walsh were

co-sponsors of SB 2404.

EXPEDITED RULINGAttorney General Lisa Madigan

announced Friday that her officeplans to immediately appeal thedecision.

“We will ask the Court to expe-dite the appeal given the signifi-cant impact that a final decision inthis case will have on the state’sfiscal condition,” Madigan wrotein the news release.

Governor-elect Bruce Raunerissued a statement saying he hopesthe state’s highest court could ruleon this “as soon as possible.”

“Today’s ruling is the first stepin a process that should ultimatelybe decided by the Illinois SupremeCourt. It is my hope that the courtwill take up the case and rule assoon as possible,” he said. “I lookforward to working with the legis-lature to craft and implement effec-tive, bipartisan pension reform.”

Some Lockport officials uneasy about Volz developerBy FELIX SARVER

[email protected]

LOCKPORT – While someLockport city officials are un-comfortable with the develop-er chosen to renovate the Volzbuilding, other officials saythe deal comes with restric-tions to ensure the project iseither completed or refunded.

Before City Council mem-bers approved WednesdayLombard-based MadHunt LLCas the developer for the histor-ic Volz building, 933 S. StateSt., 4th Ward Alderwoman De-nise Marynowski encouragedcouncil members supportiveof the deal to put up theirhomes as collateral.

The developers plan tobring new commercial life to abuilding wrecked in a fire sev-eral years ago.

There was little assuranceDavid Mede, a developer withMadHunt LLC, would completethe project since he refused aletter of credit, Marynowskisaid. City officials were givingaway a building for $10 thatthey bought for about $300,000.

She, along with SecondWard Alderman Kelly Turner,were skeptical of Mede’s pastproperty development experi-ence.

“If this was [1st Ward Al-derman] Pete Colarelli’s build-ing and he wanted to do thisdeal, fine. That’s his gamble,”Marynowski said. “But for me,I believe I’m supposed to watchout for the taxpayers’ money.”

That view was not sharedby 3rd Ward Alderman Dar-ren Deskin, who laughed atMarynowski’s proposal atWednesday’s meeting. Lock-port had much to gain fromMadHunt LLC renovating thebuilding, he said.

In a statement, Deskinwrote the developers wouldpay $1.4 million of their ownmoney, and did not ask for

TIF funding or a sales tax re-covery. If they did, they wouldhave received about $31,708and $15,000 respectively, hesaid.

If the developer pursuedvideo gaming, the city alsowould benefit from the reve-nue, he added.

The developers also are re-stricted to a five-year timelineto renovate the building, orelse they incur financial pen-alties, he said.

Deskin said in the pastthree years he’s disagreedwith Marynowski and Turner– who also voted against thedeal – 99 percent of the timeand he was not surprised tofind their comments “ridicu-lous” and “total nonsense.”

“I thought they were outof line and it basically shows… their vision of Lockport,which is absolutely nothing,”

he said.Marynowski said she

thought development of theVolz building would be a goodthing for the city regardless

and Mede, along with the restof MadHunt LLC, seemed fine.The deal was just fishy, shesaid.

City Attorney Ron Cane-

va said the developers didn’twant to have a letter of cred-it, but three members of thecompany would serve as per-sonal guarantors with theirown money invested in theproject.

The developers have sever-al deadlines to meet for build-ing design, permits, exteriorrenovations and commercialdevelopment. Failing to meetthem will result in financialpenalties that will equal whatthe city paid for the buildinginitially, Caneva said.

“That’s quite an incentiveto get the building done,” hesaid.

Felix Sarver – [email protected]

The Volz building is located at 933 S. State St. in Lockport.

“If this was [1st WardAlderman] Pete Colarelli’sbuilding and he wanted todo this deal, fine. That’shis gamble. But for me,I believe I’m supposedto watch out for thetaxpayers’ money.”Denise Marynowski

By BRIAN [email protected]

JOLIET – A hearing to de-termine if evidence reportscan be used in Eric GloverSr.’s murder trial is expectedto finish Dec. 1.

Glover Sr., 42, is accusedof killing VelmaFranklin duringa n a r g u m e n tJune 17, 2002,in their ThirdAvenue home.He was imme-diately arrestedas a suspect inFranklin’s slay-ing, but was not brought totrial before charges were dis-missed.

A cold case review by theWill County State’s Attorney’sOffice renewed the murdercharge against Glover Sr. two

years ago while he was alreadyimprisoned on other weaponsconvictions.

Prosecutors said ballisticsreports should be admittedfrom a bullet that was de-stroyed after crime lab testing.

Glover claimed the gunwent off accidentally when hefired into the wall two monthsbefore Franklin’s killing.

But Franklin said Gloverthreatened her, according totestimony at an earlier hear-ing.

The public defender’s of-fice, which is representingGlover, has filed a motion tohave the charges against himdismissed.

Testimony and argumentsmay finish at the next hearingand Judge Carla Alessio-Pol-icandriotes is expected to de-cide on the evidence and dis-missal the next week.

Medical marijuana farmgets approval inMinooka

By KRIS STADALSKYShaw Media Correspondent

MINOOKA – In a unani-mous vote Tuesday, Minookatrustees approved allowing amedical marijuana farm to beestablished within the city’slimits.

Medicann LLC receivedapproval for a conditional usepermit to build the cultivationfacility on six lots on SerenaCourt in the Minooka Road In-dustrial Park.

The annexation agreementrequires that such a facilitybe located no closer than 2,500feet from any school, residen-tial area, day care, churchor park, Minooka Mayor PatBrennan said.

If the facility in Minookareceives state approval, Med-icann will contribute $10,000annually to a charitable orga-nization in town, selected bythe village.

“That was their thought,”Brennan said Friday. “Theywant to be a part of the com-munity. They are a pretty goodgroup.”

The company also will paya 1.75 percent village tax onits gross sales during the firstfive years of operation. Thatamount will increase to 5 per-cent in the fifth year.

Trustees tabled the agree-ment twice in the last twomonths, wanting to researchthe issue further before voting.

Several residents attendedthe September Village Boardmeeting to hear discussionabout the facility. One spokepublicly against it, sayingsuch a business should not bepromoted and was not a bene-fit to the community.

Another resident, following

the September meeting, was infavor of the facility because hiswife has medical issues thatrequire pain management.

No one from the communi-ty attended November’s meet-ing. Medicann representativeswere in the audience to re-spond to questions.

Illinois law allows just onecultivation center per state po-licing district. In this case thedistrict covers Will, Grundyand Kendall counties.

The facility is not a donedeal, Brennan said. It’s up tothe governor’s office to deter-mine where the facilities willlocate. Minooka might be justone of their choices, he said.

BIKE PATH WILL MOVE FORWARDWhat is a done deal is a

proposed bike path startingat Lions Park and connectingup with the path at Vista Com-mons. The hope is that one dayit will connect to Channahon’spaths as well.

Minooka trustees signed anagreement with both Grundyand Will counties, who willeach chip in $100,000 towardthe cost, Brennan said.

Brennan attended the WillCounty Board meeting Thurs-day where the agreement wasapproved. Grundy had ap-proved it previously.

Brennan has worked tohave the bike path installedsince 1999, he said. The projectwas pushed to the top of the listtwo years ago when Kelsey Lit-tle was critically injured afterbeing struck by a car walkingnear McEvilly and Bell roads.Minooka’s bike path ends nearthat intersection.

“It’s been a long, hard bat-tle,” Brennan said. “It’s a go inthe spring.”

Post-boom rise in video gamingmachines leveling off

By LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

JOLIET – Video gamingterminals in Joliet raked inabout $806,000 last month – anincrease compared to October2013 – but the number of ma-chines coming online appearsto be slowing down.

It’s the same situationstatewide, according to thelatest figures from the IllinoisGaming Board.

Statewide revenue stood atabout $64.5 million last month

compared to $57.5 million inSeptember and $33.9 millionin October 2013. But the num-ber of machines and establish-ments only saw a slight in-crease compared to the boomexperienced since video gam-ing went live in September2012.

I n J o l i e t , B l a c k h a w kRestaurant Group LLC’s twoestablishments and 10 termi-nals were the biggest mon-ey makers. They brought innearly $90,000 in October. Mc-Bride’s Pub came in secondwith $35,939.

There were 227 establish-ments in Joliet in October,compared to the 226 in Septem-

ber and 153 in October 2013.Statewide, there were 4,570 es-tablishments in October, com-pared to the 4,516 in Septemberand 11,105 in October 2013.

Meanwhile, casino revenuecontinues to decline in Jolietand statewide.

Nearly all of the state’s 10casinos saw declines in eitherrevenue or admissions in Oc-tober, with Harrah’s in Jolietbeing the only casino withincreases in both categories.Overall, revenue at the state’s10 casinos was down 2.25 per-cent, while admissions weredown 7.6 percent.

Harrah’s Casino broughtin nearly $16 million in Octo-

Revenue still onthe rise in Joliet

ber, representing a 4.6 percentincrease in revenue from Oc-tober 2013, while admissionswere up by 2.3 percent.

Rivers Casino in DesPlaines, the state’s newest ca-sino and typically the biggestmoney-maker, saw the biggest

decline in admissions lastmonth, at 11.6 percent.

While Rivers saw a slightdip in revenue compared toOctober 2013, the casino stillmade $36.4 million, more thandouble that of its closest com-petitor, Harrah’s in Joliet.

Fire at Morris home causesabout $25,000 in damages

By CHRISTINACHAPMAN–VAN [email protected]

MORRIS – A Thursdaynight house fire on MainStreet in Morris appears tohave been caused by an electri-cal malfunction in the home’sattic, fire officials say.

The Morris Fire Protectionand Ambulance District wascalled to a fire at 704 E. MainSt., Morris, when a passer-bysaw smoke, Deputy Fire ChiefBob Wills said Friday morn-ing.

“I’m glad they called be-cause the neighbors didn’t see

it,” Wills said.Firefighters were on the

scene in four minutes, accord-ing to a fire department newsrelease. Emergency respond-ers found a two-story resi-dence with heavy smoke com-ing from the attic area.

They immediately deployeda hoseline to the second floorand began to pull out the ceil-ing, finding heavy fire in theattic space.

The fire was under controlin 20 minutes, according to thenews release.

The house is being re-habbed by an Evergreen Parkman, but no one was inside at

the time of the fire, Wills said.An electrical malfunction inthe attic appears to have beenthe cause. Structure damage isestimated at about $25,000.

“There were no injuries. Itwas very cold, but the guys dida fabulous job,” Wills said.

The water used to extin-guish the fire caused some ic-ing on the streets, so MorrisPublic Works salted the area.

LOCKPORT – A group ofsenior citizens in Lockportare committed to giving backto the community and theydid so by giving food to theneedy a week before Thanks-giving.

The Silver and Gold Club,part of the Lockport Town-ship Park District, held a FreeFood Basket event Thursdaywhere members gave away 58hams and 44 turkeys to needyfamilies who came to the Fair-mont Community Center, 525Barry Ave.

Several club members vol-unteer at the center’s foodpantry and they decided theywanted to give food to the peo-ple who came to the pantryregularly.

Barb Morrissette, the parkdistrict’s senior programsupervisor, said the club’smembers – whose average ageranges from mid-70s to 80s –are active in the communityand take good care of the pan-try.

“They’re very good peo-ple. Very rewarding people toknow,” she said. “They takegood care of the community. Ifthey hear if someone is havinga hard time, they’ll help themout.”

Helping the club in theirevent was D’Arcy Motors ofJoliet, which donated $500 tohelp purchase needed food.Much of food came from theNorthern Illinois Food Bank.

Morrissette said the turn-out was good, with 102 basketsof food given to people whocome to the pantry regularly.Those people were gratefulbecause it’s “really rough outthere,” she said.

The club plans to help outwith a Toys for Tots eventnext, she said.

During the year, the clubwill plant a community gar-den, host Black History Monthevents and a fish fry event inthe spring.

“It’s very rewarding to seepeople give back and that’swhat this club loves to do,”Morrissette said.

Civic group: No Fergusongrand jury decision yetFERGUSON, Mo. – Crews

erected barricades Saturdayaround the building where agrand jury has been consideringwhether to indict the Fergusonpolice officer who shot and killedMichael Brown, even as a grandjury decision seemed unlikely thisweekend.Tension has beenmounting in

Ferguson and elsewhere in theSt. Louis area in recent days,with many speculating that thegrand jury’s decision would beannounced on Sunday. Thatseemed increasingly unlikely bylate Saturday, although therewas a noticeable increase in thepreparations being made for aruling.

Report questions role ofwealth in Lanza’s careHARTFORD, Conn. – A new

report asks whether the raceand affluence of Adam Lanza’sfamily influenced decisions abouthow to care for his mental healthproblems in the years before hecommitted the 2012 Sandy HookElementary School massacre.Among the findings in the

report, which was releasedFriday by the state office of ChildAdvocate, is that Lanza’s parentsand educators contributed to hissocial isolation by accommodat-ing – and not confronting – hisdifficulties engaging with theworld.The report said recommenda-

tions from Yale psychologists

that he be medicated and under-go rigorous treatment as a childfor anxiety and other conditionswere rejected by his mother,who eventually took him out ofschool.“ Mrs. Lanza’s approach totry and help himwas to actuallyshelter him and protect him andpull him further away from theworld, and that in turn turned outto be a very tragic mistake,” saidJulian Ford, one of the report’sauthors, at a news conference.

Kerry says gaps remain intalks about Iran’s nukesVIENNA – U.S. Secretary of

State John Kerry is warning of“serious gaps” in the talks abouta nuclear deal with Iran, and ifmajor differences persist, thepossibility of extending pastMonday’s deadline is seemingmore likely.Discussions on going past that

deadline have not begun betweenIran and the U.S. – the lead play-ers in negotiations that formallygroup six world powers on oneside of the negotiating table andthe Islamic Republic on the other.One American official familiar

with the talks said Saturday theU.S. has not wanted to prema-turely raise the possibility of anextension because that couldtake pressure off the Iranians.However, as the clock ticks

toward the deadline, the official– who demanded anonymitybecause his information wasconfidential – said discussion ofan extension was inevitable.

Hearses arrive in preparation as relatives wait for news of the return of the bodies of those killed inthe Mandera attack, Saturday at Wilson Airport in Nairobi, Kenya. Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels,al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the Saturday dawn attack on a bus in the northern Kenyan town ofMandera, near the Somali border, in which 28 non-Muslims were singled out and killed.

Somalia’s al-Shabab kills28 non-Muslims in Kenya

By TOM ODULAThe Associated Press

NAIROBI, Kenya – Onegunman shot from the right,one from the left, each killingthe non-Muslims lying in a lineon the ground, growing closerand closer to Douglas Ochwod-ho, who was in the middle.

And then the shootingstopped. Apparently each gun-man thought the other shotOchwodho. He lay perfectlystill until the 20 Islamic ex-tremists left, and he appears tobe the only survivor of thosewho had been selected fordeath.

Somalia’s Islamic extremistrebels, al-Shabab, attacked abus in northern Kenya at dawnSaturday, singling out and kill-ing 28 passengers who couldnot recite an Islamic creed andwere assumed to be non-Mus-lims, Kenyan police said.

Those who could not say theShahada, a tenet of the Muslimfaith, were shot at close range,Ochwodho told The AssociatedPress.

Nineteen men and ninewomen were killed in the busattack, said Kenyan policechief David Kimaiyo.

Al-Shabab claimed respon-sibility for the killings throughits radio station in Somalia,saying it was in retaliation forraids by Kenyan security forc-es carried out earlier this weekon four mosques at the Kenyancoast.

Kenya’s military said it re-sponded to the killings withairstrikes later Saturday thatdestroyed the attackers’ campin Somalia and killed 45 rebels.

“The United States con-demns in the strongest termstoday’s horrific attack inKenya by the terrorist groupal-Shabab against innocent ci-vilians,” said Bernadette Mee-han, the spokeswoman for theNational Security Council inWashington.

“The United States standswith our Kenyan partnersin the effort to counter thethreat of terrorism and af-firms our ongoing commit-ment to working with all

Kenyans to combat theseatrocities,” her statementsaid.

U.N. Secretary-GeneralBan Ki-moon also condemnedthe attack.

The bus traveling to thecapital Nairobi with 60 pas-sengers was hijacked about50 kilometers [31 miles] fromthe town of Mandera nearKenya’s border with Soma-lia, said two police officerswho insisted on anonymitybecause they were orderednot to speak to the press.

The attackers first triedto wave the bus down, butit didn’t stop so the gunmensprayed it with bullets, saidthe police. When that didn’twork, they shot a rocket pro-pelled grenade at it, the offi-cers said.

The gunmen took controlof the vehicle and forced it offthe road, where they orderedall the passengers out of thevehicle and separated thosewho appeared to be non-Mus-lims – mostly non-Somalis –from the rest.

be considered consumer fraud,even though many customersmight think so. Horton saidit was difficult to determine,since an intent to defraud peo-ple must be proven.

“Because they have set upthis assignment, that in andof itself says they don’t intendto defraud their creditors,” hesaid.

Rheingold said the compa-ny clearly violated the terms ofits agreements with customers,but he wasn’t certain if thatconstituted consumer fraud.Customers are “certainly get-ting screwed here, but there’sdifferent degrees of these kindof things,” he said.

Sherry said she wouldn’tcall it fraud if the companyknew it was going to close itsstores months in advance yetcontinued to do business.

But it was deceptive.“It wouldn’t necessarily be

fraud per se, because it’s notlike the company could keepits gains. It has to pay out. It’sgot creditors lining up at thedoor,” she said.

‘They had to see it coming’One former Grant’s employ-

ee wonders if the owners werehonest with customers andworkers alike.

Bob Tarman, a general man-ager for the Aurora branch be-fore the stores closed in Octo-ber, said the company did nottell employees they were goingto be laid off before Oct. 8. In-stead, the owners sent emailsabout the company’s shaky fi-nancial situation with a seniorlender.

He said the stores were keptopen until 9 p.m. Oct. 8.

“Things like this just don’thappen overnight. They hadto see it coming. But yet theywere still taking money fromcustomers,” he said.

Tarman was lucky, landinga position with Glenview-basedAbt Electronics about the timehe was laid off. But other em-ployees were not. He said thecompany owes employees atleast two paychecks, includ-ing one withheld from themwhen they first start workingat Grant’s.

His Aurora shop was atight-knit group of six employ-ees, but he estimates there are

about 55 company-wide. Hesaid he was contacted by thecompany’s human resourcesdirector, who is gathering em-ployees to take legal action,but declined to join since he’smoved on.

He said he feels sad aboutwhat happened to the custom-ers.

“It sucks to see that happen.… It’s just such a sad story,” hesaid.

Company troublesGrant’s Appliances has un-

dergone a decline since 2008,when the recession hit, accord-ing to the notice sent to cus-tomers from High Ridge Part-ners. Grant’s attempted to stemlosses by reducing the numberof its retail locations from 12to five, incurring large liabili-ties to landlords of the stores.That, combined with declinesin sales and profits, left Grant’swithout sufficient funds.

Tarman said Grant’s cred-it lines were maxed out withmanufacturers such as Whirl-pool. The credit line allowsstores to order a product andpay that money back in 30days. Manufacturers were notshipping out products as a re-sult.

“We started to be limited onthe products we could get andwhat we could sell,” he said.

There were managementissues at the company as well,

Tarman said. There was noleadership among employees,many of whom were leavingand not being replaced.

One event Tarman saidprobably helped drive the com-pany into the ground was thepromotional rebate programseveral years ago that resultedin customer lawsuits.

In 2012, Grant’s agreed topay $600,000 in a settlementwith customers who sued in2010. In the lawsuit, the com-plainants alleged Grant’spromised customers a $500rebate for gas and groceries ifthey registered for the compa-ny’s promotional rebate pro-gram and spent more than $399at its stores.

Customers said they didn’treceive the rebates as prom-ised. Grant’s agreed to a settle-ment, but denied allegations ofwrongdoing.

Throwing good money afterbad

According to an attorneywho represented one of theclients in the settlement, themoney has been paid to thecustomers. But since Grant’sclosed, it’s only seen more legaltrouble.

Two customers – Mari-on Fuller of Joliet and WallyKaczmarczyk of Lemont – aresuing the company for lossesamounting to $568 and $10,000,respectively. But both are con-

sidering letting the matter go,since they’ll only spend moremoney on legal fees. The sum-mons issued in the cases alsohave not been successfully de-livered to Grant’s owners.

“That’s like throwing goodmoney after bad money,” Full-er said.

Kaczmarczyk is one custom-er determined to get his moneyback: He visited the Napervillehome of Wysocki, one of theowners. But nobody answeredthe door and there was a for-sale sign on the lawn.

A Will County lawsuit filedby a lender against Grant’slists addresses for ownersWysocki and Olsen in Naples,Florida.

Bison and another custom-

er – Joy Tinsman of New Le-nox, who lost more than $20,000worth in appliances – feel thesame way. Bison said she isseeking free legal assistance tosee what can be done, but Tins-man is not optimistic.

“You probably don’t wantto sue because you’re goingto end up incurring legal fees,probably still won’t get whatyou want back. So, damned ifwe do, damned if we don’t,” shesaid.

Tinsman said she believesGrant’s owners deliberatelytook their money.

“They’re using the people’smoney. It’s being used to payoff their debt, which is wrong,”she said. “I don’t know howelse I can put it. It’s wrong.”

Investing in tax liens and stockDear Mr. Berko: What are

tax liens? A local business-man offers a course for $2,700that supposedly would showhow I could keep my Auto-Zone job and make $75,000 ormore buying tax liens parttime. I could cash in $13,000from my wife’s individualretirement account to beginwith. It sounds like a dreamcome true and something Icould easily do, and I coulduse my truck as an office. Itwouldn’t require a collegedegree, and I could quit myAutoZone job, which pays $12an hour, because I don’t needto make $75,000 a year; $50,000would be plenty.

Also, what do you thinkabout marijuana stocks? Abroker who bought brakepads and headlights for hiswife’s car from me last weeksaid that if I invest $2,500in several of the right potstocks, this money couldgrow to $25,000 in a year. –DA, Destin, Fla.

Dear DA: Yep, that brokeris right on the mark. In abouta year, you could turn $2,500into $25,000 with the rightstocks. The key phrase is“the right stocks.” However,I doubt that this broker isthe proper professional togive you advice. Any brokerwith enough smarts to turn

$2,500 into $25,000 wouldn’tbe buying brake pads andheadlights at AutoZone toinstall on his wife’s car. He’dtake that car to a servicestation and have a mechanicdo the job.

There are 37 or so potstocks trading between apenny and a buck – withquestionable revenues andno earnings – just waitingfor pigeons like you to takea position. You’d make moremoney selling the productthan buying the stock.

Every day, consumershave pieces of their financialfuture ripped from their cus-tody by snarky salesmen whopeddle cotton candy dreamslike that local businessman.I’ve met some of these hon-ey-tongued lowlifes, most ofwhom live and play in SouthFlorida. They advertise onsatellite radio and the Inter-net and brag among them-selves that fleecing consum-ers is as easy as Christmasand Easter. And that’s true.

Most Americans spendtheir evenings with TVremotes in one hand and a

beer in the other. They dreamof being rich enough to enjoybig-screen TVs, SUVs, ATVs,fast cars and the good life.We dream of “being rich” be-cause dreaming about “howto become rich” is too muchwork. But when touts suchas that businessman appearin our vision field, dreamingabout how to become rich iseasy. This flimflam man isbad for your financial health.

Investing in tax lienscommenced shortly after ourcountry was founded. Taxliens are obligations that lo-cal taxing authorities (countyor city) place on a piece ofreal estate when it becomesapparent that property taxeswill not be paid by the owner.Lien investors purchase taxlien certificates (usually at agovernment auction) for thedelinquent amount from thelocal taxing authority.

The investor expects toreceive the return of his orig-inal investment plus interest,usually between 3 and 8 per-cent. If the delinquent taxesare not paid, the investor’slien (which takes precedenceover any mortgage) allowshim to own and sell theproperty. Property ownersusually have six months totwo years to pay the taxesand interest after the lien is

purchased.Be mindful that a tax lien

is profitable only when pur-chased on a property whosevalue is significantly higherthan the amount of the taxlien. And this is a viciousbusiness. You’re competingagainst experienced, well-fi-nanced syndicates, mortgagecompanies with loans onthat property, investorsof significant means, andprofessionals who managemoney for the wealthy, pen-sion plans, endowment fundsand the like. Competing withthese pros is like watchinga 125-pound 14-year-old kidcompete for a left tackle slotwith the Chicago Bears.

Ninety-six percent of prop-erty owners pay their taxeswithin the stipulated timeframe, so most lien investorsget back just their principalplus interest. And the prop-erties with the best potentialusually avoid the auctionprocess and are privatelyreserved for political friends.

Profits from liens areenormously exaggerated, sodon’t quit your day job.

Man gets prison for role in cybercrime ring

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRENTON, N.J. – A NewYork City man was sentencedFriday to more than threeyears in prison for his role inan international cybercrimering that prosecutors sayhacked into the computers ofmore than a dozen financialinstitutions and the U.S. mili-tary’s payroll service.

Richard Gundersen re-ceived a 41-month prisonterm and was ordered to pay$88 million in restitution. Hehad pleaded guilty to conspir-

acy to commit wire fraud, ac-cess device fraud and identitytheft.

The 48-year-old Brooklynman admitted working as a“casher” for the crew. Thatinvolved opening bank ac-counts in the names of iden-tity theft victims, funded bymoney stolen as part of theconspiracy.

P r o s e c u t o r s s a y t h escheme was led by OleksiySharapka, of Kiev, Ukraine,who served an 8 !-year sen-tence in federal prison inMassachusetts for a similarscheme.

Prosecutors say the cur-rent scheme began around thetime Sharapka was deportedin 2012. He remains at large.

Financial institutions,whose computer networks

were hacked, were AonHewitt, Automated DataProcessing Inc., Citibank,E-Trade, Electronic PaymentsInc., Fundtech HoldingsLLC, iPayment Inc., JPMor-gan Chase Bank, NordstromBank, PayPal, TD Ameri-trade, TIAA-CREF, USAA,Veracity Payment SolutionsInc. and the payroll arm of theU.S. Department of Defense.

Once inside the computernetworks, the conspiratorssought to divert money fromcustomer accounts to prepaiddebit cards they controlled,prosecutors said.

As part of the scheme,cards were obtained in thenames of people whose iden-tities had been stolen. Stolenidentities were also used tofile fraudulent tax returns

with the Internal RevenueService seeking refunds.

The group sought to de-fraud the companies and theircustomers of $15 million, ac-cording to the U.S. attorney’soffice. Two other members ofthe group were sentenced lastmonth.

Happy daysat gas pumphelps economy

The price of gasoline is a lot like the weather.Temperatures go up, they go down, weather ex-

tremes strike (like super early Arctic cold snaps),people talk about it, but there’s not much anyonecan do about it.

Similarly, gasoline prices go up, they go down,people talk about it, but there’s not much anyonecan do about it.

Except when the prices fall below $3 a gallon,people can smile and enjoy the savings. It is a nicechange compared with prices that were about adollar a gallon higher as recently as June.

During those five months, according to the As-sociated Press, the global price of oil has dropped31 percent. Factors in the decline include strongworldwide oil production and weakening world-wide fuel demand.

Nationwide, according to Friday’s AAA DailyFuel Gauge, the average price of regular gas in theUnited States was $2.84. And, according to an Ener-gy Department report issued last week, the averageprice of gasoline in the U.S. next year will be $2.94– a drop of 44 cents from only a month earlier.

Global conditions could change, of course, but ifthe $2.94-a-gallon estimate is accurate, according tothe AP, American consumers will save $61 billionon gasoline purchases in 2015 compared with thisyear.

That is good news for multiple reasons.Lower fuel costs give consumers more money

in their pockets to use as they see fit. Bills will getpaid off, and savings accounts will see new depos-its, which are good developments on the personalfinance front.

And a lot of people, sporting renewed confi-dence in their own finances, will go out and spendsome of the windfall.

Who will benefit? Restaurants. Grocery stores.Clothing stores. Tire stores. Furniture stores. Elec-tronics stores. Book stores. Retail establishmentsof all types.

Charities could benefit, as people with moredisposable income will be more likely to give someof it away.

Lower fuel prices should ripple through theeconomy. It’ll cost less to plow snow, haul garbage,transport goods, drive kids to school and makedeliveries of all kinds.

With the Christmas shopping season kickinginto gear, the timing could not have been better.

So, we’ll bundle up and complain about theunseasonably cold temperatures – even as we smilewhile buying cheap gasoline.

We can fix our broken immigration systemAfter months and months of

delay, President Barack Obamahas decided to issue an executiveorder of reforms to fix our bro-ken immigration system.

It’s about time.It’s been more than 500 days

since the U.S. Senate passed acomprehensive immigrationreform bill with strong biparti-san support. That bill continuesto await consideration in theU.S. House, where Speaker JohnBoehner could pass it withoutbreaking a sweat. Not only isthere bipartisan support for thislegislation, the American peoplealso support comprehensiveimmigration reform.

Once more, Republicans arelooking for excuses and not solu-tions. Let’s remember back inMarch 2010, when Sen. LindseyGraham, R-S.C., speaking for theRepublican Leadership said, “Iexpressed [to Obama] in no un-certain terms, my belief that im-migration reform could come toa halt for the year if health carereconciliation goes forward.”

After Obama’s re-election in2012, things seemed to take a dif-ferent path. Republicans beganpraising the idea of immigrationreform. Reflecting the new moodon Capitol Hill, Fox News hostSean Hannity said, “We’ve gotto get rid of the immigrationissue altogether ... You can’t letthe problem continue. It’s got tostop.”

In March of 2013, Boehnerexpressed support for an immi-gration bill that a secret, biparti-san group of eight senators hadforged (the one ultimately passedby the Senate in June 2013),cautioning that he had a lot ofeducating to do among HouseRepublicans.

Despite what many saw as anumber of good-faith efforts byBoehner to get immigration re-form passed, he failed. In March

of this year, he said he was “hell-bent on getting this thing donethis year.” But in June of thisyear, Boehner told the presidentthat immigration reform wouldnot happen in 2014.

Obama had enough.If Congress would not act,

he would. Obama said he’d takeaction by the authority vestedin his office by executive orders.In doing so, he was following thepattern of every other presidentover the past 60 years, who haveeach taken immigration-relatedexecutive action (a total of 39times).

President Ronald Reagangranted asylum relief to 200,000Nicaraguans, even if their caseshad been denied; PresidentGeorge H.W. Bush included near-ly half of undocumented immi-grants at the time in his “FamilyFairness” policy, which allowedfor deferred action and workauthorization to keep familiestogether.

Obama is likely to pursuea similar path, in addition todirecting enforcement of depor-tation proceedings to those un-documented immigrants withcriminal records. In a worldof finite resources, this makesperfect sense. We shouldn’t bebreaking up families when re-sources could be better utilized.

As important as the presi-dent’s executive order is, ourimmigration system cannot befixed solely through executiveaction. Major reform, if it is tohappen, must occur through

the legislative process. Repub-lican members of Congressneed to get on board, or elseour system will remain broken,bringing continued pain tomillions of families across thecountry.

As one might expect, whenObama announced he’d useexecutive orders as Reagan andH.W. Bush had done to addressour broken immigration sys-tem, Republican leaders sawan “out” from the public’s heatthey were taking for not acting.Some began talking impeach-ment, including Newt Ging-rich. Yahoo! News last weekpublished an article entitled“Republicans weigh govern-

ment shutdown to stop Obamaon immigration.”

The full details of the pres-ident’s plan will soon emerge,but according to White Housesources, the key elements areas follows:

“The president’s Immigra-tion Accountability ExecutiveActions will help secure theborder, hold nearly 5 millionundocumented immigrantsaccountable and ensure thateveryone plays by the samerules.

“These executive actionscrack down on illegal immigra-tion at the border, prioritizedeporting felons [not families]and require certain undocu-

mented immigrants to pass acriminal background checkand pay their fair share of tax-es as they register to temporar-ily stay in the U.S. without fearof deportation.”

This is just the beginning.More needs to happen to imple-ment comprehensive immigra-tion reform. The question is,will Congress finish the job?Now that the president hasissued the order, he must find away to work with Republicansin Congress for a bipartisanbill – like the one crafted byDemocrats and Republicans in2013.

The ball has landed in theRepublican-controlled Con-

gress’ court. They can finishthe job or simply wait until theresults of the next election in2016 to see if they can regainthe White House to overturn itall. Too bad they simply cannotallow Obama to do what Repub-lican Presidents Reagan andBush did – to advance immigra-tion reform and help familiescome out of the shadows andstay together.

MINOR LEAGUE GRAFTTo the Editor:The “Real Life Adventures”

cartoons carried in this paperare very astute commentary onlife. Two recent ones concernedif Congress represents us orjust the rich people and corpo-rations.Our media talks about the

corruption in the Mideast, Afri-ca, Russia and Latin Americanbeing institutionalized. Themedia has said Illinois and Chi-cago have corruption problemsmaking them sound unique. Wearen’t special.Most states have an insti-

tutionalized graft because ofmoney. If someone wants to runfor an office, they need money.Then they need more moneyto run again and again. To getall the money needed they dofavors. It might be a vote foror against a bill, an influencecall, or publicity support for aviewpoint.Then there’s outright graft

where someone goes to D.C.with a few thousand in the bankand has a few million when heretires. A former state repre-sentative wanting my financialsupport to run for congress toldme in a rare moment of honestythat he wanted to go to D.C. sohe could make more money. Heretired very wealthy.The media and the Feds make

a big deal of minor infractionslike selling stamps or taking

paid-for-by-others vacations.The real bribes are written upby those in Congress to belegal. The foxes in D.C. make alltheir activities in the hen houselegal and protect their ownregardless of party. Remember$200,000 in a congressman’soffice freezer. Chicago, Illinoisand other states are in theminor leagues compared toWashington, D.C. Do you thinkthe four billion spent on the lastelection came without strings?No, not strings – chains.

GIVE SENIORSA BREAK ON TAXESTo the Editor:An open letter to our senior

citizens: At age 87 and a veter-an of three years in World WarII and working for 30-plus yearsand paying Social Security, thegovernment, at times, taxesSocial Security benefits. Oh,sure, we made good invest-ments which should be noneof the government’s business.Congress makes more moneythan we ever will. Many will bemillionaires with a big pension.I found out that until 1984,

Social Security benefits wereexempt from the federal incometax. The exclusion was basedon rulings made in 1938 and1941 by the Department of theTreasury (found on page 10 ofthe online resource “Social Se-curity: Calculation and Historyof Taxing Benefits”).At our age, sickness sets in

with huge money spent onmedicines, etc.Why can’t Congress stop tax-

ing our Social Security after theage of 80? Reason they don’tis because Congress wouldlose money for their retirementpensions, etc.Call the White House at 202-

456-1111 and tell the Presidentand Congress to give us seniorsa break. We made this countrygreater than these young bucksand ladies serving in Congress.Please give them a call. You

deserve better. Thank you.

Month. For nearly 11 years,I have had the privilege tominister with the most dedi-cated, caring and compassion-ate teams of nurses, nurses’aids, social workers, and griefcounselors. Supporting theseteams are physicians, a nursepractitioner, many volunteers,and our office staff at JolietArea Community Hospice.Together we focus on meeting

the medical, social, emotionaland spiritual needs of terminallyill patients, their caregivers,and their families. So, this is atime to honor not only those atJoliet Area Community Hospicebut teams like ours who makean incredible difference daily inthe lives of so many terminally

ill patients, their caregivers, andtheir families throughout ournation.This remarkable group of

people plays a significant partin our health care system. Hos-pice is unique in the care thatis provided to our patients andfamilies. Hospice is typicallythought of as a place to go,instead of a philosophy of care.The hospice philosophy is tohave these teams of people to-gether discuss the best courseof action for the patient and thefamily.In addition to pain and

symptoms management andend-of-life care, social, spiritualand grief services are providedto patients and family mem-bers. Hospices coordinate withdoctors, pharmacies, medi-cal equipment and suppliesvendors to facilitate deliveryand availability to meet eachpatient’s unique needs.Joliet Area Community

The opening lead decides the fateof the contract a fair amount of thetime. To gain some help with thisaspect of the game, you could do alot worse than to buy “Larry TeachesOpening Leads,” which has been writ-ten and published by Larry Cohen.

It starts with 50 large pages ofbasic instruction, each chapter endingwith a quiz. Then over the last 14 pag-es, Cohen moves on to more advancedtopics like Rusinow and third-and-fifthleads, which are popular in the tourna-ment world. There is also a discussionof later leads -- as in today’s deal fromthe book.

Look at the West and North hands.Defending against three no-trump, you(West) lead the heart seven, of course.South takes the trick with his jack andattacks diamonds. What is your plan?

You know that declarer startedwith the heart ace-king-jack. Youneed partner to be long and strong inspades. (If South has at least 15 high-card points, partner cannot have theclub ace-queen.)

So, in case declarer has five clubtricks to go with three hearts and onediamond, you should take the secondtrick and immediately shift to thespade three, the low card saying thatyou have at least one honor in the suitand are trying to win tricks in this suit.(If you had wanted partner to go backto hearts, you would have led a highspade, not your lowest.)

Partner wins with his spade jackand returns a low spade to your king.Your side takes one diamond and fourspades for down one.

Here, if you duck the second trick,partner will discard the club two onthe next diamond, making the spadeswitch even clearer.

After the bidding,what comes next?

Dear Doctor K: Eatright. Don’t smoke. Stayactive. Can you give mesome motivation to keepup these healthy behav-iors?

Dear Reader: I think Iget your message. Thiscolumn frequently pres-ents information fromscientific studies abouthealthy lifestyle. Butinformation alone maynot be enough to changebehavior -- and it’s hardto change behavior, par-ticularly when you enjoyit. Information doesn’tequal motivation.

I’m not an expert onhow to motivate people,but here’s how I moti-vate myself. I ask myselfwhat I want from life. Interms of health, I wantto live as long as possi-ble, free of suffering andwith my faculties intact.Then I’ll be able to loveand be loved, and toenjoy the things I mostenjoy, for as long aspossible.

So the next questionis: How do I get there?And I don’t mean howdo I guarantee I’ll live along life, free of suffer-ing and decrepitude.Because there are noguarantees in life, onlyodds.

You want to knowwhat the odds are thatyou’ll achieve yourgoals, and what you cando to improve your odds.At least that’s what Iwant to know.

How do I find outwhat my odds are, andhow to improve them?I believe in science. Idon’t believe that anysingle scientific studyis infallible, no matterhow impressive it seems.But I believe that thecollective informationfrom many well-donestudies is the best, andmaybe the only, way I’llever learn what I need toknow.

For example, in a re-cently published study,a research team followednearly 17,000 men andwomen, aged 17 yearsand older, for 18 years.

They meticulouslycollected information onthe lifestyle, the illness-es, and the life or deathof the study participants.

In other words, theystudied more than300,000 years of humanexperience.

They compared studyparticipants who ate ahealthy diet, got enoughphysical activity, drankalcohol in moderationand never smoked tothose who engaged innone of these healthy be-haviors. The first grouplived an average of 11years longer. It’s just thelatest study that saysthat the lifestyle we call“healthy” really is goodfor our health.

There’s more goodnews. The same healthylifestyle practices thatcause you to live longermake those extra yearshealthier.

Healthy lifestyle doesnot just prolong yourdecrepitude.

Even more good news:You don’t have to banishall unhealthy practicesfrom your life, alwaysand forever. Whatmatters is your usualbehavior. Take me, forexample.

Does Doctor K alwaysfollow the healthy life-style advice he gives inthis column? Some ques-tions answer themselves.

Information moti-vates me – and so doesemotion.

If family and friendsencourage me along thepath I’ve chosen, and if Idon’t want to disappointthem, I’m more likely tofollow that path. I hopethis advice will help youfind the motivation youneed to stay healthy.

During my wife’s secondpregnancy she had mini-strokes. We were advisedagainst another pregnancy,which surprisingly hap-pened two months ago. Facedwith the difficult decision ofcontinuing the pregnancyand risking my wife’s health,or ending the life of a childwe would never see, know orraise, we chose the latter.

My wife feels I’m notgrieving because I’m tryingto show little, if any, emotion.I assure you I hurt insideenormously. How can I reas-sure her of such, while tryingto be a “strong man”? Andhow do we avoid the stigmaassociated with our choice bythose who may have knownabout the pregnancy? Neverhas the quote “Don’t judgepeople until you have walkeda mile in their shoes” rung sotrue. – Dad of 2 Flowers andOne Angel

Dear Dad: I’m sorry aboutyour loss, and for the pain youand your wife are experienc-ing. However, while I appre-ciate that you are trying tobe strong and put on a braveface, that may not be whatshe needs right now. A grieftherapist could help you tworeconnect on an emotionallevel and communicate yourfeelings more effectively witheach other.

As to your worries about“stigma” for ending a preg-nancy that put your wife’s lifeat risk, there shouldn’t be any.While bringing a new life intothe world is wonderful, yourwife has a greater responsibil-ity to her two little girls. They

need their mother – as do you.If anyone has the gall to

make a negative comment,her response should be thatthe pregnancy was terminatedbecause her doctors told herthat carrying it to term mighthave resulted in her death.Anyone who would judge yourwife after hearing that isn’tworth her time or yours. Trustme on that.

Dear Abby: I was at my eyedoctor’s yesterday, sitting ina small waiting room waitingfor my eyes to dilate. Therewere five of us in there, quiet-ly thumbing through maga-zines or listening to a TV on alow volume.

A woman in her 20s walkedin and joined us. No soonerdid she sit down than hercellphone rang. For the nexthalf-hour she proceeded totalk loudly. I was so annoyedand distracted it was all Icould do not to grab thatphone out of her hand. Otherpeople looked her way, but noone said anything.

There was no sign request-ing people to turn off theirphones. Abby, what can bedone about cellphone rude-ness? – Miffed in Massachu-setts

DearMiffed: Someone shouldhave gotten up, complainedto the office manager that theextended phone call was intru-sive and disturbing everyone,and suggested that a sign beposted telling patients thatcellphones are to be used onlyin emergencies.

CHICAGO – On a cold anddreary Saturday afternoon atGately Stadium, Providencecontinued its quest for a 10thstate football championship,crushing Mount Carmel, 42-21.

In 2004, the Celtics defeatedMount Carmel in the regularseason and survived a memora-ble 16-15 double overtime Class6A semifinal win over the Car-avan. One week later, the Celt-ics earned their ninth IHSAstate championship trophy af-ter beating Bloomington, 40-0,in the Class 6A championshipgame.

After claiming a 33-14 reg-ular-season victory, Provi-dence (12-1) again defeated theCaravan in the semifinal anddenied them a chance to playfor their third consecutive titleand record-tying 13th champi-onship. The Celtics will face

undefeated Cary-Grove (13-0)at 4 p.m. Saturday for the Class7A championship in Cham-paign.

Notre Dame-bound wide re-ceiver Miles Boykin returnedto action after missing theCeltics’ 23-6 quarterfinal winlast week against WheatonWarrenville South and madehis presence felt immediately.

He grabbed a lateral fromquarterback Justin Hunnifordand fired a 36-yard strike toreceiver Matt MacNab for aquick 7-0 Celtic lead with 7:43in the first quarter.

“It was a tremendous call,”Boykin said. “Matt was wideopen, and I was able to get himthe ball for the touchdown. Myfinger is fine, and I do whatev-er I can do to help us win. Thiswas a great victory for us, andwe are very happy to be head-ing downstate facing anothergreat team in Cary-Grove.”

Three plays later, lineback-

er Emmet Trost recovered aMount Carmel fumble at mid-field, then tailback Richie War-field scored his first of threetouchdowns on a 17-yard catchfrom Hunniford.

In the second quarter, theCaravan (8-5) closed to 14-7 ona 7-play, 80-yard drive cappedby a 2-yard scoring run fromJaquan Buntyn. The Celticsanswered with a 7-play, 80-yarddrive, ending with Warfield’ssecond touchdown from 2 yardsout to increase the lead to 21-7.

On the ensuing kickoff, Celt-ic Nick Griffin’s bone-crush-ing hit separated the Caravankickoff returner from the ball.Erik Carroll scooped up thefumble and ran 20 yards intothe end zone for another Celticscore.

Hunniford hit Boykin from38 yards out to increase the Celt-ics lead to 35-7 in the third quar-ter. Hunniford completed 12 of16 passes for 204 yards and two

touchdowns, and now has 3,164yards and 41 TDs on the year.Boykin hauled in five of Hunni-ford’s tosses for 110 yards.

“It’s unbelievable to be go-ing downstate,” Hunnifordsaid. “I was able to experiencethis in the spring with the base-ball team. It simply was oneof the greatest feelings I haveever had. To be going downwith this group of guys is awe-some. We played the best gameof the season. We played fast.We played physical and cameout of this with the win.”

Warfield, who rushed for 53yards on nine carries, scoredfrom 2 yards out to concludethe Celtics scoring. Mike Mar-kasovic rushed for 26 yards ona pair of carries and caughtthree passes for another 36yards.

“It feels incredible to begoing downstate in my sopho-more year,” Warfield said. “Iam so happy for the seniors

that all of their hard workhas paid off. We clicked on alllevels today. I had a good daytoday thanks to my offensiveline. Miles was back, and Jus-tin was just Justin today, lead-ing us to victory.”

The Providence defenseshut down the Caravan attackall day. Mount Carmel scoreda pair of touchdowns in thefourth quarter with the Celticsahead, 42-7.

“Great victory for the pro-gram,” Providence coach MarkCoglianese said. “Great victo-ry for the seniors, whose goalfrom day one was to be Cath-olic League Champs and to godownstate and hopefully win astate championship. Miles is sotalented and threw a great passon the play. Justin Hunnifordhad another Justin Hunnifordday for us. The offensive linekept Justin clean, which wasa concern for us going into thegame.”

WILMINGTON – How ap-propriate it was that Wilming-ton offensive coordinator Bar-ry Southall was the recipientof the dumped water bucketas the final seconds ticked off?

The soaked Southall calledan impeccable game, and hischarges, led by his son, quar-terback Mason Southall, exe-cuted equally well Saturdaynight as Wilmington dominat-ed Byron, 46-13, in the semifi-nals of the Class 3A state foot-ball playoffs.

The result is veteran Wild-cats coach Jeff Reents willbe taking his second team– the other was in 2003 – to astate championship game atthe University of Illinois inChampaign. Wilmington (13-0) will face Williamsville (13-0) at 4 p.m. Friday for the 3Atitle.

“I really can’t grip all ofthis yet,” Reents said. “I wasmore concerned with thisgame. I’m proud of my staff.It’s great when you can put allthe things together like this.”

Indeed, the rest of theequation was field positionand defense. All the Byronoffense could muster was atouchdown pass at the end ofthe first half that never wouldhave happened had the Wild-cats not committed a personalfoul penalty on a fourth-downincompletion and a 77-yardrun against the Wilmingtonreserves after the runningclock clicked on in the fourthquarter.

Byron (8-5) was bidding tobecome the first team sincethe eight-class system wasinstalled in 2001 to finish 2-7one season and reach a statechampionship game the next.But it was evident early onthat the Tigers were unlikelyto make that happen.

Mason Southall got thingsrolling early. Wilmington hasbeen a running team almostexclusively during the play-offs. But on the second playof the game, he went deep toJoe Mann off play action for 48yards to the Byron 24, settingup Nick McWilliams’ 1-yardtouchdown run and a 7-0 lead.

Southall threw a 33-yardtouchdown pass to Alex Zlo-

mie and McWilliams scoredfrom 38 yards out in the sec-ond quarter to build a 19-0lead.

Leading, 19-6, to open thethird quarter, the Wildcatserased all doubt. After forcinga punt, they marched 61 yardsto a touchdown, Southall’s15-yard touchdown pass toZlomie. The flood gates wereopen.

“That was huge, to stopthem to start the third quar-ter,” Reents said “I told theguys at halftime, if I had saidyou’d be up, 19-6, would youtake it? And you would havesaid yes. I said, ‘Let’s go getthe momentum back,’ and wedid.”

After a Byron kickoff re-turn to the 6, Mann, a line-backer, moved up from hislinebacker spot and inter-cepted a pass in the flat for a6-yard pick-six and a 32-6 lead.Zlomie opened the fourthquarter with a spectacular10-yard touchdown receptionfrom Southall, and Southallfinished the deal with a 17-yard touchdown scramble ona fourth-and-7.

“My dad made good calls,”said Southall, who completed7 of 9 passes for 163 yards andrushed for 63 in eight carries.“But I credit my offensive line[tackles Derek Kirchner andBailey Boswell, guards KyalDavis and Alec Siriani andcenter Ben Studer]. I had timein the pocket all night, andthey did some great run block-

ing, too. And Zlomie had somegreat catches.”

Zlomie, an all-state defen-sive back, finished with fivecatches for 94 yards and thethree scores. Nick Hawkinsrushed for 62 yards in 12 car-ries and made a nice catchon a 21-yard reception, andMcWilliams totaled 61 yardsin 14 carries.

“It doesn’t happen all thetime,” Zlomie said of Wilming-ton’s big pass plays. “We cando it, but it’s a week-to-weekthing, depending on where wethink we can attack an oppo-nent. It is nice, though, thatwe can do it and spread outour options.”

“Alex [Zlomie] had a greatgame, and Mason [Southall]was all over the place,” Reentssaid. “When we can throw,

we’re dangerous with receiv-ers like Zlomie, Mann andHawkins.”

Byron was bigger thanWilmington, but the Wild-cats’ quickness up front wonthe war on both sides of theball. Kirchner, Davis, Siriani,Zach Youell and McWilliamsall made big defensive plays.McWilliams forced and recov-ered a fumble, and Jake Cap-well also fell on a fumble inthe second half.

“We knew we had to playassignment football,” Mannsaid. “We had to stick to ourreads.”

The Wildcats were flaggedfor 90 yards in penalties. Butotherwise, they would loveto bottle this performanceand break it out on Friday inChampaign.

44 CLASS 4A SEMIFINALS: CHICAGO PHILLIPS 26, COAL CITY 6

Phillips runs past Coal City in 4A semifinalBy ROB OESTERLE

[email protected]

C H I C A G O – I n m a n ygames this season, the CoalCity football team fell behindearly, only to regroup andrally for a victory.

In fact, last week’s winover Manteno in the Class 4Aquarterfinals saw the Coalersscore 22 unanswered pointsin the fourth quarter.

In Saturday’s semifinalgame against Chicago Phil-lips at Gately Stadium, CoalCity did fall behind early, butthis time, the comeback wasnot to be. Phillips, which be-came the first Chicago PublicLeague team to reach a statetitle game since Robeson in1982, scored on its first twopossessions to take a 12-0 leadmidway through the firstquarter.

Corey Warren, who fin-ished with 210 yards on 29carries, broke free for a 46-yard gain to the Coal City 3on the Wildcats’ first drive,and quarterback DewayneCollins (20 carries, 122 yards)scored from the 2.

Coal City faced a fourth-and-inches on its first driveand gave the ball to Jack Dib-ble, who entered the gamewith 2,528 yards rushing onthe year. On that play, how-ever, the aggressive Phillipsdefense stopped Dibble for nogain and took over at the CoalCity 44.

Warren started the drivewith a 23-yard gain, and Col-lins finished it with a 6-yardTD run for a 12-0 lead with6:15 to play in the first quar-ter.

“They are a very good foot-ball team,” Coal City coachLenny Onsen said about Phil-lips. “They are very disci-plined and have exceptionalathletes.”

After the two teams trad-ed punts, Dibble broke looseon a 51-yard gain to the Phil-lips 22. It was the longest gainof the night for Dibble, whofinished with 132 yards on34 carries. A pass interfer-ence call moved the ball tothe Wildcats’ 13, and Dibblescored on a 2-yard run. Thekick was blocked, and CoalCity trailed, 12-6, with 25 sec-onds left in the first.

“Jack got his yards,” On-sen said. “But the break-aways that have been theremost of the year weren’t theretonight. Because of that, thecomeback wasn’t there for ustonight, either.”

Coal City had a chanceto take back the momentumwhen Matt Long forced a fum-ble and a Coaler teammate re-covered.

Phillips returned the favorby intercepting a pass, thenscoring on the next play on a41-yard pass from Collins toAmani Jones. Collins then hitQuayvon Skanes on the two-point conversion for a 20-6lead.

After another intercep-tion, Phillips took over atits 41 and took over with itsground game. Warren and

Collins shouldered the load,with Collins delivering thebig play, a 20-yard run to theCoal City 5. Warren took itover from the 3, and the Wild-cats led, 26-6, with 4:55 to playin the first half.

Neither team scored againin a physical, hard-hittingsecond half. Phillips did en-ter the Coal City red zone, butthe Coalers forced and recov-

ered another fumble.“They were a good team,”

Dibble said. “But so are we.I don’t think the score indi-cates how good of a team wehave. We made some mis-takes that got us behind ear-ly, but this time we weren’table to come back.

“It was a fun run to getthis far, but it stinks to haveit end a little too early.”

45CLASS 6A SEMIFINALS: LEMONT 35, PEORIA NOTRE DAME 28

Indians beat Irish to reach first finals since 2008By CURT HERRON

[email protected]

PEORIA – Slowing down aPeoria Notre Dame juggernautthat was averaging 50 pointsa game and hadn’t scored lessthan 41 points in any contestwas the difficult challenge thatfaced Lemont in Saturday’sClass 6A semifinal game.

But because of a gutsy de-fensive performance from co-ordinator John Howell’s groupand another productive show-ing from the team’s offense,the Indians are headed backto the state finals for the firsttime since 2008.

Coach Bret Kooi and Lem-ont will both be headed to thefinals for the third time afterLemont held off the Irish, 35-28, in a clash of unbeatens atPeoria Stadium.

“Our kids matched themwhen we had to,” Kooi said.“We thought that we mightget out of the gates a littleslow defensively because thedouble wing takes some timeto adjust. But once we did,our kids hunkered down andwe kept moving the ball andscoring when we had to. No-tre Dame was good up front,and its backs are good and theguy who was underrated wastheir quarterback, who’s big-time. Everyone loves the flashof offense, but you hang yourhat on a solid defense, and it’shelped John to know we canscore points.”

Lemont, which will playNazareth Academy at 1 p.m.Saturday in the 6A title gameat the University of Illinois’Memorial Stadium, becomesonly the second team in the 14-year history of the eight-classsystem to go from 3-6 one sea-son to a 13-0 start the next.

“They run the wing-T, andwe don’t see that often, so itwas a tough few days of prepa-ration and we tried to just getthe kids to just read small,”Howell said. “We had a cou-ple of penalties that extendeddrives for them, but for themost part, these kids playedtheir rear ends off. We toldthe kids that we’d lost the lasttwo semifinals we’d been in intough situations at the end, soI feel for those guys. For ourkids, they’ve bought into whatwe’re doing and they play hard

for us. We’ve got one more andknow we’ll have our handsfull.”

Things didn’t get off to agood start for the Indians asNotre Dame’s Andy Shadid (19rushes, 134 yards) ran up themiddle for a 76-yard score onthe second play of the game.

But Lemont counteredthree plays later when FlynnNagel (11 catches, 176 yards)caught a flat pass from RyanDawson (22 of 29 passing, 273yards) and exploded 85 yardsfor the tying score.

“The first touchdown ob-viously was big for them, butwhen we got on offense weknew that we had to respond,”Nagel said. “I didn’t have todo much on that play sincethe blocks were there. It feltgood getting the lead, but wecouldn’t get too conservativeand had to keep attackingthem offensively and bring-ing it to them defensively, and

that’s what we did. I rememberwatching my brothers playingfor state championships, so itmeans a ton to us.”

The Indians moved in frontfor good on the first play of thesecond quarter when MarcinOrszulak kicked a 35-yard fieldgoal.

They extended their lead to16-7 a few minutes later whenDawson tossed a 17-yard passto Jamie Glista. And then afteran Irish fumble that was re-covered by Ian Hinchley at No-tre Dame’s 20, Orszulak con-nected for a 31-yard field goalto increase the lead to 19-7.

Notre Dame looked likeit was stopped on downs atLemont’s 24 shortly beforethe break, but a roughing thepasser penalty kept the drivealive, and Demarco Washing-ton scored on a keeper to pullthe hosts to within 19-15 athalftime.

“We drove three hours from

Lemont on a mission with onething on our minds, and thatwas to win, whatever it tookand whatever we had to do,”linebacker Hunter LaDukesaid. “In a sense, our defensekind of holds things together,and that’s been an advantage.This is unbelievable. We’vebeen out there every daygrinding, and this is the resultthat we get.”

In the third quarter, Nagelscored on a 2-yard run andAlex Bousky kicked a 38-yardfield goal for the Irish as theIndians took a 26-18 lead intothe final period. Lemont tookits biggest lead, 32-18, with 8:31left when Dawson scored on a2-yard run.

But the hosts got new lifewhen they converted a fourth-and-16 when Washington’spass bounced off Jacob Hurstand was hauled in by Shadidfor a 69-yard gain. Three playslater, Washington ran in from

4 yards out to close the scoringwith 2:56 remaining.

After a Shadid pickoff with1:21 left, Notre Dame got onelast series, but Washington’sdesperation pass with 13 sec-onds left was deflected by Jer-emy Fejedelem and picked offby Nagel at the Indians 16-yardline.

Jimmy Kepouros caughtnine passes for 65 yards, whileAnthony Martin gained on 50yards on 14 carries for the In-dians.

“When you play a teamthat’s well-coached and hasgood players, you have to prepreally hard, and our coachesdid a great job of that,” saidMatt Martenson, who had afourth-quarter pickoff. “Weknew we had to stop the insideand outside run and did a pret-ty good job of that. This was ateam effort, and we kept goinguntil the end and never gaveup.”

BOYS BASKETBALL

SPC shapes up as North vs. EastBy DICK GOSS

[email protected]

On the recent nationalletter-of-intent signing day,Plainfield East’s Aaron Jor-dan signed with Illinois,Plainfield North’s TrevorStumpe with Wofford.

Southwest Prairie Con-ference basketball enthusi-asts will be the big winnersthis winter. Not only willJordan face Stumpe at leasttwice, but the surroundingcast in each of those pro-grams also is strong. Whenthe teams meet twice in theSPC schedule, fireworks canbe expected.

Coaches Bob Krahulik atNorth and Branden Adkinsat East both are shooting fora season of 20-plus victories.Along with Bolingbrookfrom the SouthWest Sub-urban Blue, the Tigers andBengals rank among the topthree large-school teams inthe Joliet area.

“We went 21-8 last yearand expect to be even moresuccessful this year,” Kra-hulik said. “We’re expect-ing to not just make a runat the regional, but also thesectional and supersectionalwith Trevor leading us.

“We are big, talented,deep and skilled. We justneed to be better defensivelyto attain our goals.”

Krahulik said the Ti-gers’ weaknesses are overallspeed and on-ball defense.But their assets are many.

At 6-foot-5, Stumpe canplay virtually anywhere onthe floor.

He handles the ball well,has big-time range on hisshot and can take the ballto the basket. He knockeddown about 25 point a nightlast season.

K e v i n K r i e g e r , J a k eNowak, Cody Conway andStumpe give North four re-turning starters. Kriegerand Nowak are capable scor-ers in their own right. Someof the Tigers’ top reservesalso have varsity experi-ence.

“We are tall and lengthy,good shooters and haveskilled players,” Krahuliksaid. “We’re very versatileand very deep.”

North will play in thisweek’s Joliet West Thanks-giving Classic, so that willbe an opportunity for fans toget an early look.

Meanwhile, PlainfieldEast won the SPC title lastyear with an 11-3 record. Ifthere is a weakness for theBengals, it may be a benchthat is not overly deep.

“Our goals are to repeatour conference champion-ship, compete for region-al and sectional champi-onships and win 20-plusgames,” Adkins said.

Jordan, a 6-5 guard, isamong the best shooters inthe Chicago area. The futureIllini said he has added somestrength since last season tohelp cope with the physicaldefenses he is sure to face.

Joining Jordan in thestarting lineup are athlet-

ic 6-7 junior Elyjah Gossalong with three seniors –6-8 James Clarr, 5-10 Wyn-ston Wright and 6-1 WilyamWright.

While North and East arepicked to battle for the con-ference title, with Oswegoperhaps in the mix as well,the other Joliet area schoolsin the SPC have reason tobelieve they can be compet-itive.

Minooka finished 17-14 last season and returnsstarters Joe Butler and JonButler, plus Kent Hudsonand Austin Guglielmucci.Joe Butler is a junior andJon a sophomore, and bothstarted on varsity as fresh-men. The Indians’ top new-comers include Nick Clem-mons, Blake Parzych andLarry Roberts.

“We are young but talent-ed,” Minooka coach ScottTanaka said. “I believe thatby the end of the season, wewill be a very tough basket-ball team.”

Plainfield Central re-turns Robbie Brooks, JustinWindt and Johnny Kostelzfrom a team that finished

around .500.“We have a little bit of

everything,” Wildcats coachSteve Lamberti said. “Wehave some size, shooting,athleticism, quickness andtoughness, and the guys arehungry to be successful. Weare looking to make somenoise and battle with every-one.”

Plainfield South returnsjunior Jacob Buchner andsenior Shane Ritter but oth-erwise is new. Three start-ers have limited experience.

“We are a team that hasnot played together a wholelot,” Cougars coach Tim Boesaid. “Our chemistry will betested early, but our seniorleadership has been awe-some so far.”

At Romeoville, coachMarc Howard returns threestarters and is looking for-ward to a breakout seasonfrom 6-5 junior Matt Cappel-letti.

“We have a solid guardrotation with strong seniorleadership,” Howard said.“We have eight seniors whoare the focus of building awinning tradition.”


Plainfield North’s Trevor Stumpe drives toward the basket during the first half of a game against Lemontduring last season’s Martin Luther King Day of Hoops at Joliet Central.

Coming Monday

As the new season begins, wewill preview area teams in theSouthWest Suburban and otherconferences.

LOUISVILLE 31, NOTRE DAME 28

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHAMPAIGN – Backupquarterback Reilly O’Toole ledIllinois on a late drive that setup a game-winning David Reis-ner field goal, delivering a 16-14win Saturday over Penn State.

Reisner hit from 36 yardswith eight seconds left onthe clock. Minutes earlier hemissed a 50-yarder that wouldhave put Illinois on top.

O’Toole relieved an ineffec-tive Wes Lunt late in the firsthalf. O’Toole finished 18 of 25 for157 yards and a touchdown forIllinois (5-6, 2-5 Big Ten).

Northwestern 38, Purdue 14:AtWest LaFayette, Indiana, North-western linebacker Jimmy Hallset up 14 points with an inter-ception and a fumble recovery,and the Wildcats beat Purdue.

A victory against Illinois onNov. 29 would make the Wild-cats (5-6, 3-4 Big Ten) bowl eli-gible.

No. 7 Ohio St. 42, Indiana 27:At Columbus, Ohio, Jalin Mar-shall returned a punt 54 yardsfor a touchdown to give No. 7Ohio State the lead late in thethird quarter and added threelate insurance scores to lead theBuckeyes past Indiana, the Hoo-siers’ sixth loss in a row.

The surprisingly tight gamefor most of the day could im-pact the playoff hopes of the

Buckeyes (10-1, 7-0 Big Ten, No.6 CFP), who clinched the EastDivision title and a berth in theconference title game.

The Hoosiers’ last chance ata tying score ended with TyvisPowell picking off a pass fromZander Diamont with 4:25 left,deep in Indiana territory.

No. 10 Michigan State 45, Rut-gers 3: At East Lansing, Michi-gan, Jeremy Langford and TonyLippett celebrated senior day

in style as No. 10-ranked Mich-igan State smashed Rutgers forits 40th win in four seasons and51st in five.

Langford, who played cor-nerback and wide receiver be-fore returning to running back,rushed for 126 yards and twotouchdowns. That stretched hisstreak of 100-yard games in con-ference play to 15, the longest inthe FBS in the past 10 years.

No. 14 Wisconsin 26, Iowa 24:

At Iowa City, Iowa, MelvinGordon surpassed 2,000 yardrushing with 200 yards and twotouchdowns, and 14th-rankedWisconsin held off Iowa for itssixth straight win.

Gordon became the 17th FBSplayer with a 2,000-yard rushingseason to lead the Badgers (9-2,6-1 Big Ten). Wisconsin still hasto beat Minnesota in Madisonnext weekend to earn a shot atOhio State in the Big Ten title

game.Minnesota 28, No. 21 Nebras-

ka 24: At Lincoln, Nebraska,Briean Boddy-Calhoun rippedthe ball out of Nebraska re-ceiver De’Mornay Pierson-El’shands at the Minnesota 2-yardline after Mitch Leidner scoredthe go-ahead touchdown,and the Gophers overcame a14-point halftime deficit to de-feat No. 21 Nebraska.

The Gophers’ big defensivestop kept alive their hopes inthe Big Ten West. They canwin the division and go to theconference championship gameDec. 6 with a win at Wisconsinnext week.

Maryland 23, Michigan 16: AtAnn Arbor, Michigan, WesBrown’s 1-yard touchdown runwith 5:59 remaining lifted Mary-land to a victory over Michigan,leaving the Wolverines’ post-season hopes in dire shape withone game remaining in the reg-ular season.

The Terrapins (7-4, 4-3)scored two touchdowns in thefourth quarter and guaranteedthemselves at least a .500 recordin conference play in their inau-gural Big Ten season. Michigan(5-6, 3-4) had won three of fourto keep its bowl hopes in decentshape, but now the Wolverinesneed a monumental upset atOhio State next weekend to pro-long their season.

Missed field goal hands Irish second straight lossBy TOM COYNE

The Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Lou-isville didn’t panic when No-tre Dame, aided by a 61-yardpunt return, scored two quicktouchdowns early in the thirdquarter to take the lead.

The Cardinals answeredwith a pair of touchdowns oftheir own, stopped Notre Dameat the 9-yard line and avoidedovertime when Notre Dame’sKyle Brindza kicked a 32-yardfield goal as the Cardinals heldon for a 31-28 victory Saturday.

“Things were a bit roughthere for a minute,” Louisvillequarterback Reggie Bonnafonsaid. “We just kept our compo-

sure and knew that we were go-ing to turn it back around andkeep executing our game planand that’s what happened.”

The Irish had a chance toforce overtime, but Kyle Brind-za missed a 32-yard field goalwide right with 51 seconds left.It was the second straight timea missed field goal cost NotreDame a game. Brindza misseda field goal in overtime a weekearlier against Northwestern.

“We’ve lost back-to-backgames because we couldn’tput down a ball and kick it 32yards,” Notre Dame coach Bri-an Kelly said.

Bonnafon ran for a pair oftouchdowns and threw a 21-yard scoring pass to DeVante

Parker for the Cardinals. Bon-nafon was 8-of-31 passing for180 yards with one intercep-tion.

“Reggie did an unbeliev-able job in the fourth quarterof leading us down the field,”Petrino said.

The Cardinals (8-3, No. 24CFP) kept alive their hopesfor a third straight season ofat least 10 wins. The Irish (7-4), after starting the season 6-0and being ranked No. 5, havelost four of their past five, andthe three straight losses is thelongest losing streak for theIrish since Kelly’s first seasonas coach in 2010.

“It definitely hurts,” NotreDame quarterback Everett

Golson said.The Irish gave up 30 or

more points for the sixthstraight game, the first timethat’s happened in 126 seasonsof football. The 242 points No-tre Dame has given up in thespan is the most ever by NotreDame in six games.

The Irish – already play-ing without defensive line-man Sheldon Day, a captain,and middle linebacker JoeSchmidt, a leader, because ofinjuries – lost defensive line-man Jaron Jones and corner-back Cody Riggs early in thegame because of injuries.

“We played a lot of fresh-men in there and a lot of youngguys. They battled as best they

could,” Kelly saidRadcliff rushed for 136

yards as Louisville amassed229 yards rushing while hold-ing the Irish to 99 yards run-ning.

“We felt like we could runthe ball, and we did it late inthe game, which is real im-portant to winning games,”Petrino said.

Parker, who missed thefirst seven games with a bro-ken bone in his foot, was heldto fewer than 100 yards for thefirst time in four games withfour catches for 65 yards.

Cardinals safety Gerod Hol-liman didn’t get an intercep-tion, so he remains one shy oftying the NCAA record.

GIRLS SWIMMING STATE MEET

Plainfield co-op’s Kramer makes more historyBy TIM O’BRIEN

Shaw Media Correspondent

EVANSTON – Plainfieldco-op’s Carly Kramer had adoomsday moment.

Standing on the blocks inthe state championship heatof the 100-yard butterfly Sat-urday, Kramer wonderedwhat could go wrong.

“I was afraid my goggleswould break or I would getdisqualified,” Kramer saidwith a smile. “Somethingwhere I wouldn’t be able tofinish the race.”

Making program history,Kramer had no such worries

as she finished in fifth in the100-yard butterfly (56.06 sec-onds).

It was the first time a Plain-field girl swam in the finals ofthe state championship meet.

“It means a lot to me that Imade that top heat,” Kramersaid. “No one has done it inPlainfield history, so it’s coolto be the first one.”

A three-time state qualifi-er, Kramer improved on hereighth-place finish last seasonin the butterfly. Through Fri-day’s preliminaries, the ju-nior was seeded third overall(55.19).

A little disappointing?

Yeah, but Kramer still hasone more crack at a state titlenext year during her seniorseason.

“Hopefully, it’s my bestyear yet,” Kramer said. “I’mdisappointed that I droppeddown [two places Saturday],but I’m still happy I got the op-portunity.”

In finishing eighth last sea-son in the butterfly, Kramerwon her program’s first statemedal.

Another good matchup for BearsIf Sunday’s meeting with

the Tampa Bay Buccaneerscomes down to Lovie Smithand/or Josh McCown, theBears could be in trouble.

Certainly everyone under-stands why so much is beingmade of Lovie’s return afterhis nine-year tenure as Bearscoach that ended two seasonsago.

But the reality is his newteam is 2-8. And coming intoChicago at the end of Novem-ber, it will be more than alittle disappointing to Bearsfans if they stay close enoughto the Bears over 60 minutesfor Smith to be able to impactthe game with any coachingdecisions or special motivation.

The same can be said of Mc-Cown. Through 10 games hisoffense is 28th in total yards,28th running the ball, 19thin passing and 25th in pointsscored.

It should be tailor-made fora Bears defense that finallybounced back Sunday at homeagainst a similarly challengedVikings offense.

While the Bears will attemptto pressure McCown early and

often, Jared Allen and WillieYoung know it will be almostas important to keep him in thepocket.

Some of the Bucs’ offensivestruggles come from an inabil-ity to run the football. Theirrookie sensation of two yearsago, Doug “Muscle Hamster”Martin, has been unable to stayhealthy ever since, and BobbyRainey and Charles Sims spendas much time on the trainingtable as they do in the huddle.

But where the Bucs canscare you is at wide receiverwith Pro Bowler VincentJackson on one side and rookiesensation Mike Evans on theother. At 6-foot-5 each, they canremind you of Brandon Mar-shall and Alshon Jeffery andpose a real challenge for TimJennings and Kyle Fuller.

The real puzzle of theseBucs is they’re as bad ondefense as they have been onoffense, but they are coming

off their best performance ofthe season last week againstWashington.

The Bears may get a hugebreak. One of the Bucs’ twobest players and real differencemakers, weakside lineback-er LaVonte David, has beenlimited all week by an injuredhamstring.

The Bucs spent a smallfortune on Michael Johnson torush off the right edge, whichcould challenge tackle JermonBushrod, but Johnson hasdisappointed to date.

Tampa also spent big on Al-terraun Verner at cornerbackand invested a second-roundpick on Johnthan Banks in2013 to man the other corner,and they’ve done enough tocause Smith to get away fromhis Tampa 2 and play someman-to-man.

This is a game the Bearsshould win, and coach MarcTrestman hopes they’ll keeptheir focus there and not ontheir old coach and teammate.

A passion for support and caregiversPersistence leads to support groups finding new home at Easter Seals Joliet Region

By DENISE M. BARAN–[email protected]

JOLIET – For the past sev-eral years, Ed Vascik, 86, ofPlainfield, relied on the care-giver support group at Leeza’sCare Connection in Joliet ashe cared his wife Mary, 83,who has Alzheimer’s disease.

When the national nonprof-it organization – founded bytelevision personality LeezaGibbons – which providedsupport to people with mem-ory disorders as well as theircaregivers, closed its Jolietdoors earlier this year, Vascikwondered where he would go.

He’s happy that EasterSeals Joliet Region has wel-comed the group into its fold,as Vascik never wanted tomiss a meeting.

“It’s a place where we meetand compare notes,” Vascik.“They’ve taught me a lot ofthings, like how it’s importantfor caregivers to take care ofthemselves.”

In large part to KathyMiller, former program andoutreach director at Leeza’sCare Connection, and her per-sistence in keeping two sup-port groups going – the one forcaregivers and a second onefor individuals who have ex-perience a brain injury – thatEaster Seals Joliet Region,known for its pediatric ser-vices, is hoping to expand itsservices to include people ofall ages with disabilities.

This, said Deb Condotti,president and CEO of EasterSeals Joliet Region, is consis-tent with the goals of EastersSeals as a national organiza-tion. Furthermore, both Con-dotti, (who was caregiver toher parents), and Miller, (whodid the same for her moth-er), understand how crucialthose services are, especiallywhen the individuals provid-ing hands-on care and makingcritical end-of-life decisionsare spouses, sons or daugh-ters.

“I’ve sat in these support

groups and seen the supportand encouragement,” Con-dotti said. “I applaud the for-titude of these folks, and I’mjust amazed at how peopleendure when caring for lovedones.”

That’s why Miller was lessconcerned about losing herjob at Leeza’s Care Connectionthan she was for the needs ofher clients. Where, Miller saidshe had wondered, would theyfind support and information?

Miller said she exploredvarious solutions – fundingand other nonprofit options,meeting at a church and thena restaurant. She was thrilledwhen Easter Seals expressedgenuine interest.

“They offered me free of-fice space, Internet and a con-ference room to continue thegroups,” said Miller, who haddone marketing for an assist-ed living facility in Iowa be-fore coming to Leeza’s Place in

2005. “It’s worked out great.”The catalyst was a client, a

man with a brain injury whoneeded his support group andsaid so to Vanessa Hunter, di-rector of residential and socialservices for Easter Seals JolietRegion. Hunter told Condotti,who agreed something shouldbe done.

Molly Snodgrass, who hada traumatic brain injury in2004 as the result of a fall andhelped begin the brain injurysupport group at Leeza’s Placein 2008, also feels such a groupis invaluable.

Sometimes, Snodgrass said,the general public mistakes abrain injury for stupidity ordrunkenness, and people withbrain injuries can endure rid-icule from others. A supportgroup becomes a haven.

“You can talk to people thathave the same disability andlife challenges,” Snodgrasssaid.

The support groups restart-ed in May 2014. In August,Condotti said she received a$2,500 grant from Joliet Town-ship trustees, which is usedfor refreshments, fliers, mail-ings and a stipend for the fa-cilitator of the support groups.The facilitator is usually Mill-er, Condotti said, althoughthere is a back-up.

Since then, Condotti andMiller collaborated on a newvision – the Caregiver Con-nection of Will County, whichwould run as a service of Eas-ter Seals. If plans go well, thiscould be as soon as spring2015, Condotti said.

Condotti and Miller havewritten a letter of intent, areworking with a grant officerand are actively seeking fund-ing. Condotti said. Of course,Condotti also would like toeventually hire Miller, whomCondotti called unique, ener-getic and committed, “if she

hasn’t been scooped up bythen.”

Clients like Ed Merzlo-ck of Shorewood will assur-edly benefit from the newprograms. Merzlock was theprimary caregiver for hismother Catherine until shedied a few months ago. Mer-zlock still attends the caregiv-er support group, as solace inhis grief and as a way to sharehis knowledge with others, hesaid.

One fallacy about caregiv-ing is that women make bettercaregivers than men, Merzlo-ck said, because they are typi-cally considered more nurtur-ing. But caregiving requires abroad base of skills to managethe well-being, financial andlegal needs of both the giverand recipient. Merzlock alsohad a contingency plan inplace, in case his mother out-lived him.

“I don’t think people lookdown that road,” Merzlocksaid. “They really need educa-tion.”

For those reasons, Miller isthankful for Easter Seals andthe opportunity to continueand expand the support jour-ney with her clients, even ona volunteer and grassroots ba-sis, she said.

“It’s something I love andwant to continue doing it,”Miller said. “I have such astrong passion for it.”
