Evergreen Terrace owners make appeal to U.S. Supreme Court By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Owners of Evergreen Terrace have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the racial impact of the federal court ruling that would put the housing complex in the hands of the city of Joliet. The petition for Supreme Court review was filed last week while the city was in federal court seeking an order that would force the owners to turn over the property. Joliet wants to take ownership of Evergreen Terrace by Nov. 1, but that target date could be set back by the petition to the Supreme Court. “We’re still doing our best, but it looks like it could be delayed because of the new motions that have been filed,” Assistant City Attorney Chris Regis said. Regis noted that the Supreme Court reviews a “small percentage” of the cases sent to it. But Evergreen Terrace attorneys in

Joliet in August 2015 paid the $15 million to take ownership of Evergreen Terrace, and the money has been held in federal court until the property changes hands. The transfer of ownership was initially held up by an appeal filed by Evergreen Terrace owners. But the city won that appeal in June. An issue in the transfer of ownership, Regis said, is whether Evergreen Terrace owners should get the full $15 million. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which subsidizes rents for tenants at Evergreen Terrace, has a $12 million mortgage on Evergreen Terrace. Regis said HUD wants its $12 million out of the Joliet payment, but Evergreen Terrace owners oppose using that money to pay the mortgage. He said Evergreen Terrace owners “are doing everything they can to delay [Joliet’s] possession of it because they’re making money from it. How much we don’t know, because they won’t tell us.”

D-86 board OKs emergency resolution for HVAC replacement By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet School District 86 board approved a resolution that waived bidding requirements in order to replace a failing heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment at the district’s administrative center. The resolution before the Board of School Inspectors at Wednesday’s meeting drew many questions about fixing the HVAC system at the J.F. Kennedy Administrative Center and the process of ordering and installing a new unit. The resolution authorizes the district’s administration to secure quotation for the purchase and installation of replacement equipment using sound business practices and to enter an agreement for the purchase and installation of the equipment from responsible vendors. The preamble to the resolution states the heat exchanger – part of the HVAC system – has failed, causing the system to be inoperable and resulting in loss of

their petition argue that there remain constitutional questions to be settled about the impact of city ownership on housing availability for low-income African-Americans. For one, the petition contends that a claim that condemnation of Evergreen Terrace “would uproot the largely African-American tenant community from the predominately white section of Joliet and leave them with demonstrably inadequate housing alternatives” was dismissed in court “with little or no analysis.” In a news release issued by Evergreen Terrace owners, their attorney, Ted Tezlaff, stated that Joliet has not identified housing that would be available to any residents displaced by a change in ownership. The city was awarded Evergreen Terrace at a price of $15 million by a federal jury in March 2015. The award came after U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle ruled in September 2014 in Joliet’s favor in a condemnation case that was initiated in 2005.

heating for a portion of the building. It also states those issues constitute an emergency and following Illinois School Code, in the event of an emergency, a three-fourths vote of a school board can waive bidding requirements and approve expenses. In a presentation to the board Wednesday, Tamara Mitchell, assistant superintendent for business and financial services, said two options for replacing the unit would be the variable air volume, or VAV, system – estimated construction cost of $230,000 – or the residential system, which has an estimated construction cost of $150,000. The district’s architect recommended the VAV system as the ideal option. After being asked questions on getting quotes from vendors, Superintendent Theresa Rouse said that research will be done and the district will consult with its experts, as well as keep the board informed. “We want to make the best decision for the district, fiscally. … I’m not into

spending money just because we have it. It’s about making the right choice,” she said. Board inspector Quinn Adamowski, who agreed to pass the resolution, said he strongly encouraged district officials looking at the residential system. According to Mitchell’s presentation, the cracks have turned into holes in the heat exchanger of the HVAC system for the KEEP Center. Board Vice President Jeffrey Pritz asked about welding the cracks and holes, saying he’s seen and coordinated work on heat exchangers that have been welded. “We need to at least look into that,” he said. Rouse said the district officials were under a time crunch to fix the HVAC system, and if the district ends up ordering equipment, it will take weeks for it to come in. “We’re on the edge of extremely cold weather. We can’t use heat or air off of this system. The KEEP center has no climate control,” she said.

MAKING A BIG IMPRESSION Joliet man’s do-it-yourself effort wins Neighborhood Hero award By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Drivers coming into downtown Joliet off the Ruby Street bridge may be doing a double take as they pass an old two-story building that has been deteriorating for years. The building at 601 N. Chicago St. has been repainted, refurbished and remodeled. “We’ve been doing this since 2007 when we bought it,” Val Vrinceanu said. “Because I did it by myself, it took some time.” Not finished yet, Vrinceanu still has made a big impression with the showroom he built for his cabinet business, Complex Woodwork, on the first floor and the residence he created on the second floor for his family. Val and his wife, Anna Vrinceanu, won one of the 13 Neighborhood Hero awards that the civic organization Project Acclaim issued this year to Joliet residents who have done something special with their property to give it a certain eye-catching curb appeal. Anyone who has taken a second look at the building said it merited the award. “To me the biggest criteria is, did you do a double take?” Project Acclaim secretary John Zalanka said. “Were you compelled to take a second look as you drove by? Was there something that caught your eye?” If what Vrinceanu has done with the building on the outside deserved

More than 2 dozen displaced after explosion By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Twenty-four townhouse units in Romeoville were evacuated after a gas explosion that injured two utility workers Tuesday night. On Wednesday, fire and safety inspectors began the process of letting people back into their homes while other residents were offered aid. “The actions of the first responders and the way this community comes together to help are both overwhelming,” Romeoville Mayor John Noak said. The explosion occurred about 7 p.m. in one of the Wespark townhomes near Wespark Boulevard and Strawflower Court. “Nicor Gas crews were at the scene earlier in the day after receiving a report of damage to a 2-inch natural gas line by a third party,” Nicor spokeswoman Jae Miller said. Lockport Township Fire Chief Dave Skoryi said firefighters were

called to stand by about 3:30 p.m. and left the scene about 5:30 p.m. after being cleared by Nicor workers. The explosion occurred in a fiveunit building. One resident was home at the time but was able to escape without injury. One of the Nicor employees suffered minor injuries and was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet where he was treated and released. The other man suffered critical injuries and was taken to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital and later transferred to the trauma center at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Skoryi said. Two units in the building were “leveled” by the blast and another suffered “significant structural damage,” Skoryi said. Lockport Township and Romeoville firefighters responded to the scene, with assistance from Plainfield and Oswego fire agencies. As the fire was extinguished, inspectors “were still getting gas readings” and decid-

ed to evacuate the four buildings adjacent to the one where the explosion occurred. Romeoville police and emergency management personnel remained at the scene to keep people away until inspectors with several agencies and utility and insurance companies returned in the morning. Patricia Kemp, communications manager for the American Red Cross of Chicago and Northern Illinois, said in a statement that 13 families, including two children, needed lodging provided by the Red Cross. “More may be identified who need help with disaster relief. Mental health services teams are also assisting families with emotional support to help them cope with this traumatic event,” Kemp stated. “Volunteers were also on the scene ... with a canteen truck to provide water and snacks to aid the first responders.” The state fire marshal, commerce commission and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had inspectors at the scene.

“That’s just standard protocol for any significant explosion. Although the investigation is still ongoing there are no indications this was not accidental,” Skoryi said Wednesday afternoon. Skoryi said it will take days for inspectors to make their way through the debris, and the search was suspended Wednesday because of rain. “One woman’s unit was damaged and she couldn’t be allowed back into it, but firefighters went in and were able to find both of her cats and return them to her,” Skoryi said. Noak said village building inspectors would go through each unit and work with the area homeowners association while the village’s social worker was coordinating aid for those affected by the blast. The village has established an account for financial donations. “Our priority is to get families as much assistance as possible, then return the rest of the neighborhood back to normal as quickly as possible,” Noak said.

Wilkerson to retire after 30 years with Crest Hill police “There are some individuals, just a few, who just cannot keep out of police attention. Some of the new [officers] will get a name they haven’t seen before, while the deputy chiefs and I have been dealing with them for 30 years.”

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – A lot has changed since Dwayne Wilkerson became a Crest Hill police officer – but not everything. “There are some individuals, just a few, who just cannot keep out of police attention. Some of the new [officers] will get a name they haven’t seen before, while the deputy chiefs and I have been dealing with them for 30 years,” Wilkerson said. After three decades with the police department and nearly nine years as chief, Wilkerson will retire Monday. Deputy Chief Ed Clark will take over the department on an interim basis. “It’s just time. I don’t have another job lined up, but I hope I’ll find something outside law enforcement,” Wilkerson said. Wilkerson grew up in Plainfield and became exposed to police work during an early job as an emergency dispatcher. He was briefly a Cook County Sheriff’s Office deputy before spending three years in the Army “to make [himself] more marketable,” he said.

Dwayne Wilkerson

Crest Hill was the first police department to offer a job when he returned, and he became one of 13 officers sharing four squad cars. “We had the apartment complex and a handful of bars that were very rough. Things were pretty fast and furious from 7 at night until 3 or 4 in the

morning. We were just trying to keep each other safe,” he recalled. After putting in some street time, Wilkerson served as the department’s investigator for 12 years. At the recommendation of Tim Simenson, a Crest Hill officer later killed in the line of duty, Wilkerson also became part of the Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team – a multiagency task force. “We worked some major drug trafficking and murder cases, and Dwayne

was the lead investigator on a serial rape case,” said Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes, who was partnered with Wilkerson. “The information [Wilkerson] gathered was pivotal, and he never tried to take credit for it.” Wilkerson merely credits himself with answering the phone when a Georgia police officer called and sharing information when they realized they had similar cases. “[Though] it was the most satisfying case to resolve, it’s still unsettling that he had a lot of victims,” Wilkerson said. After leaving investigations, Wilkerson became a supervisor and eventually took over the department. He believes implementing policies calling for accountability and supervision and establishing deputy chief positions are his biggest contributions as the top cop. He’s also increased the amount of training available and arranged for the city to lease squad cars instead of purchasing them. Wilkerson has enjoyed woodworking as a “stress reliever” during his career and plans to spend more time doing that in retirement as well as travel and spend more time with his family.

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city has given the OK to an incentive package sought by Blue Ribbon Products to build a bigger beer distributorship in Joliet. The distributor, which has been in Joliet since 1923, has plans to build an 80,000-square-foot operation in the Rock Run Business Park. Company representatives said Blue Ribbon has considered sites outside of Joliet as well. The Joliet City Council last week approved a five-year property tax abatement along with a 50 percent cut in

SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – The city of Joliet will celebrate next weekend the initiation of a cooperative tree planting project focused on the Forest Park neighborhood made possible through a grant of $25,000 from the CN EcoConnexions “From The Ground Up” program in the United States. Nearly 100 trees have been planted in the community in parkways and neighborhood parks, according to a news release from the city. Improvements at the park has been a focus of the Forest Park Neighborhood Council; and parkways along city streets, once devoid of trees, are being transformed. The changes are being made possible by a grant from the nonprofit beautification organization America in Bloom. “The main goal of the project is to improve the quality of life in the Forest Park neighborhood and Joliet by making area parks and streets attractive, inviting, and environmentally beneficial, while also encouraging steward-

said he favored using incentives to help existing businesses in addition to attracting new companies to town. “It’s just as important to retain business and help them to expand as it is to attract new business,” Hug said. The incentive package from the city is worth $95,000, said attorney Michael Hansen, who has represented Blue Ribbon. The property tax abatements from the school districts are worth $450,000. The project is estimated to cost about $9.5 million, including land acquisition, a new building and equipment. Blue Ribbon employs 37 people.

sites in other towns but hoped to continue doing business in Joliet. The property tax abatement initially met some resistance from Joliet Councilman Larry Hug, the chairman of the Economic Development Committee, who noted the five-year package exceeds the standard three-year deal that the city offers. Hug, however, voted for the incentives at the City Council meeting Oct. 4. Hug said once the other members of the Economic Development Committee voted for the package at the September meeting, he saw no reason to oppose it at the full council. Hug also

Ruiz relishes new role at the University of St. Francis SPONSORED BY

Eric Ruiz isn’t new to the University of St. Francis, but he’s the new Director of Freshman Admissions. Having worked in admissions at the University of St. Francis since 2007, Ruiz is thrilled to take on his latest role in leading and directing the recruitment of freshman students. “I have been progressing my way up and I’m excited about what I’m doing in my new position,” he said. “I’m still going to be in the trenches and keeping up with changes, and at times, still recruiting students.” Ruiz knows first-hand about the challenges of attending college and his unique personal experience allows him to relate to potential students, including those who are undocumented.

Having grown up in a family of four, Ruiz’s parents couldn’t afford to send him to college. “It was something we didn’t talk about until someone called me from St. Francis,” he said. “I talked to a counselor at the university who said she could help me with the whole process. I was able to make it work, I graduated and now I’m working here.” His ability to work well with USF faculty and administration and to support the university’s community of Hispanic/Latino students is one of Ruiz’s strongest assets. He understands that many families from Hispanic/Latino families from outside the U.S. may not be familiar with the college application process. “We’ll invite - Latino families, students and parents to our ‘Gran Cena’ event later this fall so we can get together and talk about college and the demands coursework and extra-curricular activities can have,” he said. “I tell them my story and give them a sense of understanding of how the college system works and what I’m trying to do with our current students while inviting prospective students to consider our university.”

Grundy Area PADS in need of volunteers

Agency hopes to continue providing homeless shelter 7 nights a week in Morris By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Cold temperatures are on the way and that means the opening of Grundy Area PADS homeless shelter sites. This year, the organization is struggling to find volunteers to keep the shelter open every night. “Due to the short amount of volunteers this year, it looks like we may not be able to be open seven days a week for those in need of shelter,” board member Paul Sprole stated in an email. Board member Tammy Alvarez said PADS is holding out hope that more volunteers will step forward so that people aren’t forced to sleep on the street each Saturday, but they will need to make a decision by Oct. 22. The shifts the organization is struggling to fill are all three shifts Saturday night, third shift on the second and fourth Sunday of the month, and the third shift Wednesday night. First shift is 6:30 to 11 p.m., second shift is 10:45 p.m. to 3 a.m., and third shift is 2:45 to 7:30 a.m. To help protect those most vulnerable to the winter weather, several Morris churches have once again agreed to serve, at least one night a week, as Grundy Area PADS homeless shelter sites. Peace Lutheran Church, First United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, Immaculate Conception Church and Living Word Bible Church are participating this year, Alvarez

said. Volunteers at the shelter sites will provide homeless people with a safe overnight shelter from the elements; a sleeping pad with a blanket and sheets; towels and a place to clean up each night; an evening meal, breakfast and a sack lunch for the next day; and general assistance, according to a PADS news release. Volunteers will receive training at 9 a.m. Saturday at First Methodist Church in Morris. Volunteers are asked to commit to one consistent night a month, and always will share the shift with other volunteers. Volunteers are asked to call Paul Sprole at 815-942-6750 for details if they can’t attend training. Anyone 18 or older interested in learning about the PADS program and how to help is invited to call the We Care of Grundy County office at 815-942-6389.

Although not an action item, the board gave Barrowman direction to change the hours from 5 to 7 p.m. to 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 31. Also Tuesday, early voting times were announced.

SHOREWOOD – The final plat for Shorewood Towne Center Unit 4 was discussed Tuesday by the Shorewood Board of Trustees at its meeting. Community Development Director Karen James brought the project to the board because of a request by Blue Shorewood LLC for approval of the final plat on the west side of Towne Center Boulevard at the north end of the subdivision, James said. The Unit 4 plat includes 42 additional single-family lots and a parkway tree plan. The original plans had a cul-de-sac in the corner of the street – Moran Drive – with the name Distinctive Court, but to avoid confusion, James said it has been recommended that area be considered a “bump out” of Moran Drive. The board unanimously agreed to the approval of the final plat subject to final engineering of the parkway tree plan and name change of Distinctive Court to Moran Drive. Also Tuesday, the board was sched-

uled to undertake the first read of an ordinance establishing the compensation of the mayor, which was discussed at the Committee of the Whole meeting two weeks prior. The proposal, which was brought to the board by Mayor Rick Chapman, originally asked for more compensation and responsibilities and a greater time commitment. During the committee meeting, the board felt that the main responsibilities of the mayor should remain those related to Village Board meetings and serving as liquor commissioner and tobacco commissioner in order to not deter future candidates who may be unable to fulfill a part-time 20hour work week. At the Tuesday meeting, instead of performing the first read, Chapman asked to withdraw the ordinance proposal because of the trustees not being able to come to a resolution. “I myself can put in the 20 to 25 hours per week, but I cannot assume that the next person could do that,” he said. The next order of business was community announcements on public works and holiday events coming up in

Joliet Junior College board approves deer management Also, JJC wrestling fundraising progressing By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Junior College board approved this week a deer population management program. JJC President Judy Mitchell proposed to trustees at a Sept. 27 workshop meeting a three-year program to control the growing deer population at JJC through culling, saying the damage to the college property’s crops “continues to escalate.” The board also approved an HMO insurance plan option for full-time employees. Faculty Union President Robert Marcink said the union thinks the plan is a “win-win situation,” as it is potentially saving money for JJC and its employees. “We’re certainly supportive of it because we think anything that provides options is a good thing,” he said. During the JJC Foundation report, Kristi Mulvey, the foundation’s executive director, said the organization has raised $22,715 for the college’s wrestling

Startup money is needed for the program and the JJC Foundation has been accepting donations for it. Mulvey noted two upcoming events to support the wrestling program. On Oct. 30, the wrestling group will have a meet-andgreet event at Heroes West Sports Grill, and on Nov. 3, there will be a “sip and paint” fundraiser in Plainfield. “Those are two [events] that we hope you’ll support to bring in our new wrestling program to the college,” Mulvey said.

JOLIET – One of the few suspects in Will County who was out on bond while facing murder charges headed back to jail Wednesday. Michele A. Evans, 52, took a drug test before appearing in court and had cocaine in her system, Judge Dave Carlson said. Submitting to drug screenings was one of the conditions of Evans’ bond while facing murder charges in the Michele slaying of her husband, David Evans. She also had A. Evans to post $100,000 in cash and credit card charges. Defense attorney Joel Brodsky said his client takes several antidepressants and the test could show a “false positive.” Carlson said Evans would be tested again Thursday morning and released from jail if the second test was negative. On April 16, 2015, Michele Evans allegedly stabbed David Evans with a kitchen knife during an argument in their Bolingbrook

home. Brodsky said earlier this year that a psychologist has determined Michele Evans was suffering from “battered-woman syndrome” at the time and acted in self-defense.

Joliet man gets 4 years for street robberies By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 20-year-old man who committed two street holdups within hours of each other earlier this year was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison. Jacques D. Harris pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated robbery and faced up to seven years in prison, although Judge Dave Carlson also could have put him on probation. Harris would have faced at least 21 years in prison if he’d Jacques been convicted of armed D. Harris robbery with a firearm. Carlson agreed with Assistant Public Defender Todd Lenzie’s request that Harris be considered for a “boot camp” program, but said it will be up to the Department of Corrections to determine if Harris is eligible.

About 5 p.m. Jan. 8, a couple pulled into the parking lot of S and T Food Mart, 124 S. Richards St. in Joliet, when Harris approached them asking for change then pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the woman, prosecutor Deborah Mills said. “He got about $70 and her debit card. He asked her for the PIN number but was unable to get any money from the card,” Mills said. “He’s not going home and feeling remorseful. About four hours later, he does – essentially – the same thing,” Mills said. At 9:25 p.m., a man pulled into a driveway in the 500 block of Strong Avenue and was confronted by an armed Harris who demanded money. The victim ran away and notified police, who found the victim’s car later that night. Harris, who is listed as a gang member in police databases, was identified from photos shown to the victims, according to police.

“I was amazed at what you could do with an old, burnt-out building. This man had a vision. It was like something out of a magazine.” Jan Quillman

Joliet City Council member and one of the judges with Project Acclaim

• RENOVATION

Continued from page 3 “You should have seen the expressions on the faces of our judging team,” Zalanka said. “Their jaws hit the floor.” The floor is nice, too.

‘Like something out of a showroom’

Vrinceanu has added wood floors on both stories to cover the concrete of the old industrial building that was once used for a bakery and then a warehouse. It has been vacant for about 20 years and even had a fire that left a hole in the second floor. “I was amazed at what you could do with an old, burnt-out building,” said City Council member Jan Quillman, one of the judges with Project Acclaim. “This man had a vision. It was like something out of a magazine.” Quillman said she was particularly impressed with the living quarters, the kitchen cabinetry that Vrinceanu built himself and the detail of the work. “This was all empty,” Vrinceanu said while sitting in one of the cushioned wooden chairs in the showroom where he has mounted countertops and cabinet hardware on the wall like artwork. He has cut large windows, which bring light into the showroom, out of the formerly stark walls that front Chicago Street. Vrinceanu is modest about his work. “Even now, it’s not completely done,” he said almost apologetically. “We still have doors missing [upstairs]. We have baseboards missing [upstairs]. We wanted to open the store first.”

Former graffiti target

Enough is unfinished that Vrinceanu at first resisted the idea of having the building nominated for the Neighborhood Hero awards. But Jan Nahorski, who nominated Vrinceanu, said he thought it was time for the building to get some recognition. Nahorski said he had been out to the building in past years several times for his job as graffiti abatement officer for the city. “That building was for years and years and years an old warehouse, factory, various things – dilapidated, windows broken out. It was not appealing,” Nahorski said. “One time I got a call there was graffiti on it. I went out there, and there was a guy working on it. He started telling me his story, his dream.”

I was not anticipating him doing the rehab to the level he did. I kept an eye on it, and this guy was always out there.” One day, Vrinceanu invited Nahorski inside. “I was even more impressed,” Nahorski said. “I said, ‘Val, you’re an absolute talent. This is beautiful.’ ”

Moving to Joliet

Vrinceanu, a Romanian immigrant, lived in Chicago before moving his family into the building in 2012. Asked what brought him to Joliet, he immediately answered, “Low taxes.” He was looking for a building in which to start a cabinet sales business. He had formerly worked in construction, mostly on the North Side of Chicago and in the northern suburbs. The building in Joliet was available at a reasonable price. He opened the showroom for Complex Woodwork on Oct. 3. Vrinceanu is hoping the showroom will help him develop more business. Other plans for the building include creating a second-floor patio that would give a view of the Des Plaines River and downtown. He is planning a library that will double as a guest room. And eventually, he will do more with the basement, where Vrinceanu already has created a garage by building a sloping driveway to the garage door that he cut out of the foundation. “You have to have a will to do this, a big will,” Vrinceanu said. “A lot of people said for the area you are making it too nice. But I cannot go halfway. I do things the way they should be done, or I don’t do them at all.”

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

WORRIED ABOUT THE ECONOMY? THE ELECTION? POSSIBLE DEVALUATION OF THE U.S. DOLLAR? The world, as we know it is evolving. A cashless society could be on the horizon. Consider “hard assets” as an alternative. ICoin Inc. is locally owned and makes a 2 way market for precious metals in all forms: Gold & Silver, American Eagles, Generic Silver Bars, 90% Silver Coins, Silver Dollars, Certiﬁed Rare

“I’m really concerned about all the dark money from special interest groups and their influence on elections.” Kim Savage Darien resident

“It’s a legitimate newspaper just like any other newspaper,” Proft told The Associated Press. “I’ll put the stories we do on politics and policy up against any other newspaper in the state.” The FEC must seek a response from the targets of the complaints within 15 days, then review those and decide whether to investigate further. There’s no expedited process despite the Nov. 8 election. Proft, a drive-time AM radio talk show host in Chicago who ran for the Republican nomination for governor in 2010, began publishing the newspapers last spring. According to the complaint, they are distributed in 14 areas, including DuPage County; Springfield; Chicago’s north, north-

west, and south suburbs; the Quad Cities and the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis. Liberty Principles PAC, which Proft said is not participating in any federal races, was named in complaints about three of the newspapers – two in Chicago’s northern suburbs and one in downstate Cumberland County – filed during the primary election with the Illinois State Board of Elections. The papers were alleged to have improperly engaged in coordinating messages with legislative candidates and had not attributed their funding source. Documents indicate the board found the “coordinated communications” complaints were filed on “justifiable grounds” but took no action. In two cases, it ordered Liberty Principles PAC to include a “paid for by” disclaimer in future issues. Khouri campaign manager John Cooney issued a statement calling the federal complaint “a desperate attempt by Bill Foster and his cronies to divert attention” from issues such as protecting Social Security and Medicare and creating good-paying jobs. Foster, running for his fourth nonconsecutive term, declined comment.

SPRINGFIELD – One of several startup newspapers tied to a conservative Illinois activist has been challenged in a federal complaint as a Republican mouthpiece, meaning it should count as a campaign contribution. Kim Savage, a Democrat from the Chicago suburb of Darien, argues in a Federal Election Commission filing that the DuPage Policy Journal is not an independent newspaper, but controlled by businessman and radio talk-show host Dan Proft through his political action committee, Liberty Principles PAC, which got a $2.5 million contribution in June from Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. The paper is one of 14 co-owned by Proft that appeared last spring before the state’s primary elections. The complaint, filed last week in Washington, maintains the DuPage Policy Journal is illegally coordinating with GOP congressional candidate Tonia Khouri and that its publication costs should be reported as political contributions in her race to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep.

Bill Foster. The PAC, Proft, Khouri for Congress and the Khouri campaign treasurer are named in the FEC document. It contends the DuPage paper is not entitled to a press exemption from campaign finance laws because it’s run by a political organization, is not published regularly, is sent to doorsteps or left in high traffic areas for free and includes “coordinated communications” with a candidate that the law bars for so-called independent expenditure committees. “I’m really concerned about all the dark money from special interest groups and their influence on elections,” said Savage, a former College of DuPage board member. She said she thought the newspaper “was a local, grassroots thing and I was kind of appalled when I found out it was a special interest group that publishes it.” Proft called the FEC complaint “factually incorrect in every possible way,” primarily because the papers are now owned by a private company called Local Government Information Services. According to records filed with the secretary of state’s office, Local Government Information Services incorporated on Aug. 15.

FEC gets complaint on conservative paper

Will County revisits ECHO housing policy By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County is reconsidering its Elderly Cottage Housing Opportunity policy after complaints regarding one of 21 such units in the county. ECHO housing units are attached or detached pre-manufactured buildings, or manufactured housing units, with a removable foundation. They are for people who are either at least 62 years old or disabled, or the caretakers of those people. On Tuesday, the Will County Board’s Land Use Committee discussed potential changes to the policy sparked by a resident displeased that their neighbor placed an ECHO housing unit on their zoned agricultural property in Wesley Township, located at the southwest corner of the county. The county’s land use department was seeking guidance before drafting a policy to bring back for committee review at a future meeting. In 2012, the county removed a special-use permit requirement that included a public hearing. Committee

members have now expressed that neighbors of proposed ECHO housing locations should be allowed to weigh in, which would be done formally at the public hearing associated with the permit request. The committee voted, 5-2, after some discussion, in favor of keeping a $675 special-use permit fee. Committee members Ray Tuminello, R-New Lenox; Denise Winfrey, D-Joliet; Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet; Steve Balich, R-Homer Glen; and Committee Chairman Tom Weigel, R-New Lenox, voted to keep the fee. Vice Chairwoman Judy Ogalla, R-Monee, and member Bob Howard, D-Beecher, voted to waive it. Tuminello said it’s not fair to waive the fee because it does pay for things – such as notifying neighbors of the matter and publishing it in the newspaper. “I don’t think it’s fair to push [the cost] on the other constituents,” Tuminello said. The committee also voted to prohibit ECHO housing in the

Tuminello was outspoken that ECHO housing shouldn’t be allowed in residential neighborhoods, while Balich did not want to bar people from asking if they can have ECHO housing in an R-2A or R-3 district. “I think it’s totally wrong to say you can’t even ask permission,” Balich said. Howard said the committee should take its time and get more information about what types of homes are coming in the future. He noted there were no issues with ECHO housing except for this one case in Wesley Township.

Illinois gets extension on new federal ID requirements

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois is among 14 states that received a year-long extension to comply with stricter federal requirements for driver’s licenses and identification cards. The extension granted Wednesday means Illinois now has until Oct. 10, 2017, to comply with the 2005 Real ID act. It imposes tougher requirements for proof of legal U.S. residency in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White said in May that the state is now 84 percent compliant with the federal mandate. That happened when Illinois implemented mailing identification cards after officials vet an applicant’s identity. People receive a temporary paper ID or license while waiting for a permanent one in the mail. Illinois’ progress toward compliance means residents’

ability to board planes has not been affected.

New Dem super PAC ads link Rauner, GOP to Trump

SPRINGFIELD – A Democratic state senator in Illinois said he has started a federal super PAC to combat the millions of dollars that Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and his supporters are spending on state legislative races. Federal Election Commission filings show that the Leading Illinois for Tomorrow political action committee, started by Daniel Biss of Evanston, has spent more than $1 million this week on advertising. Figures from the Center for Public Integrity showed last week that Republicans have spent $2 million on TV ads in a Chicago-area district, and that Democrats and Republicans combined have spent nearly $14 million on state legislative races overall. GOP ads have linked Democrats to Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, who leads the state Democratic Party and has been in office for decades, the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers

reported. “Gov. Rauner and allies of his who have an extraordinary amount of money are trying to paint a picture of what the Republican Party is about and what the Democratic Party is about,” Biss said. The first ad from Biss’ super PAC began airing Tuesday in the Chicago area, and links Rauner and state Republicans to presidential candidate Donald Trump. Rauner has not said whether he will vote for Trump, but Illinois Republican Party spokesman Aaron DeGroot said the state party does back him.

2 arrested in theft of more than 50 guns in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD – Police said they have arrested two people after the theft of more than 50 guns from a Springfield firearms dealer. The State Journal-Register reported that thieves kicked in the door at Letz Hunt and Sport on Sunday night. Police said the names of those arrested were not immediately released because the case is under investigation. Lt. Chris Mueller said more arrests are possible.

Officers were called Monday morning to the business, which is in a residential neighborhood on the city’s north end. Mueller said the firearms dealer had an alarm system but that it didn’t sound. A recording at the store said it is closed until Tuesday. Mueller said he did not have details about the types of guns taken, but said police have recovered at least one of the stolen firearms.

Judge finds cause to hold suspect in university shooting

URBANA – A Champaign County judge has ruled there is enough evidence to hold a suspect in a shooting during a party last month near the University of Illinois campus that left one person dead. Robbie Patton of Champaign is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 22-year-old George Korchev of Mundelein and aggravated battery with a firearm in the wounding of three others. Police said the shooting followed a disagreement over a spilled drink at a party that led to a fight. None of the four victims was involved in the fight. Assistant State’s Attorney

Scott Larson said eyewitnesses identified Patton as the shooter. Judge Roger Webber set a pretrial hearing for Dec. 13.

Soprano Renee Fleming to visit 2 Chicago schools

CHICAGO – Famed soprano Renee Fleming plans to lead sing-alongs at two Chicago schools this week as part of Lyric Opera’s Chicago Voices project. Fleming on Thursday will visit Chicago High School for the Arts. She’ll be at Providence St. Mel School on Friday with singer Eric Owens, the star of Lyric’s current production of “Das Rheingold.” Fleming plans to invite students during each visit to sing for a Lyric Opera camera crew. Videos of the students singing will be shared on the Chicago Voices website. Chicago Voices is a community engagement project. It’s an initiative of Lyric Unlimited, a division of Lyric Opera, which aims to collaborate with communities throughout Chicago. Fleming is Lyric Opera’s creative consultant.

Clinton reaching past Trump, as he denies report of assault By JULIE PACE and KATHLEEN HENNESSEY The Associated Press

PUEBLO, Colo. – Brimming with new confidence, Hillary Clinton turned up the heat Wednesday on Republican candidates who are facing tight election races and tough decisions on what to do about Donald Trump. She’s now seeking to spread her new momentum to fellow Democrats on November ballots. Are you with him or not? That is what Clinton and her campaign are demanding of GOP candidates as she surfs a wave of new support, part of the fallout from the revelations of Trump’s aggressive sexual comments about women. Two newspapers, meanwhile, reported late Wednesday that Trump’s actions went beyond words. The New York Times published interviews with two women who said they were touched inappropriately by the billionaire without their permission. The Times said Jessica Leeds, 74, of New York, told the newspaper she encountered Trump on an airline flight three decades ago. Leeds said Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt. “He was like an octopus,” she told the newspaper. “His hands were everywhere.” Rachel Crooks of Ohio said she met Trump in 2005 at Trump Tower. Age 22 at the time, Crooks said, Trump kissed her “directly on the mouth” against her will. Trump denied the accusations, telling the Times, “None of this ever took place.” His campaign spokesman, Jason Miller, called the story “a completely false, coordinated character assassination.” Separately, The Palm Beach Post in Florida, reported Wednesday night that Mindy McGillivray, 36, told the newspaper that Trump groped her at his Mar-a-Lago estate 13 years ago. Trump’s campaign said her allegation “lacks any merit or veracity.”

And late Wednesday, People magazine reporter Natasha Stoynoff posted a story about a 2005 incident at Mar-a-Lago where, she wrote, Trump “was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat.” The Trump campaign also said there was “no merit or veracity” to Stoynoff’s story. The reports came at the end of a day on which two GOP senators and two House members who called for Trump to step aside over the weekend climbed back aboard. Their basic case: They’re voting for a Republican next month, and if Trump isn’t leaving then he’s got to be the one. John Thune of South Dakota, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, told the Rapid City Journal he had “reservations about the way [Trump] has conducted his campaign and himself.” However, he said, “I’m certainly not going to vote for Hillary Clinton.” Also back on board after calling on Trump to resign are Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska and Reps. Scott Garrett of New Jersey and Bradley Byrne of Alabama. There still are about three dozen GOP lawmakers who have withdrawn support or are calling for Trump to step aside. Trump kept up his unrelenting denunciations of Clinton at a rally in Florida. It’s not enough for voters to elect him instead of her, he declared – “She has got to go to jail.” Later Wednesday, Clinton was campaigning in Las Vegas, where she planned to call out Rep. Joe Heck, a Republican in a tough Senate fight who revoked his support for Trump after hearing his caught-on-video boasts about groping women. The focus on Republican congressional candidates is the latest sign the Clinton campaign is moving past a narrow focus on winning the White House, and now is aiming to win big – by delivering the Senate to Democrats, making deep cuts into the Republicans’ majority in the House and, possibly, winning states long considered Republican territory.

Small Iowa town a window into hunger problem By SCOTT McFETRIDGE The Associated Press

STORM LAKE, Iowa – Storm Lake, Iowa, appears the picture of economic health, a place where jobs are plentiful, the unemployment rate hovers near 3 percent, busy shops fill century-old brick buildings and children ride bikes on tree-lined sidewalks that end in the glare of its namesake lake. But there’s a growing problem in the northwest Iowa city of 11,000, one that’s familiar to rural areas around the country: Thousands of working families and elderly residents don’t have enough money to feed themselves or their children. The issue persists even as national poverty rates have declined in the past year and prices for many food staples have dropped slightly. Storm Lake has responded strongly with a large, mostly volunteer effort to hand out free food – eggs, cereal, vegetables, juice – at a half-dozen pantries, along a city street and in an empty building on the edge of town. “You struggle to live one day at a time, to stretch the budget,” said Hermelinda Gonzalez, 41, who relies on food from a monthly drive-up pantry to feed her seven children despite her husband’s construction job. “I don’t

Tyson Foods’ turkey and pork processing plants are Storm Lake’s biggest employers – more than 2,700, many of whom are immigrants attracted by wages of $15 an hour or more. But many also have large families, and

paychecks are eaten up by big grocery bills, heating and cooling costs and higher-than-expected rent because of increased demand for housing that hasn’t been met by new construction. Not having access to enough food is more severe in isolated counties than urban, metropolitan areas – 64 percent of the counties with the highest rate of food insecurity for children are ru-

ral, according to data from national anti-hunger group Feeding America. While federal statistics show incomes among the poorest 10 percent of U.S. households increased 7.9 percent last year and the proportion of Americans in poverty dropped from 14.8 percent to 13.5 percent, small towns typically lag urban areas in job and income growth, especially in the Upper Midwest, said Gary Green, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor who studies rural issues. It’s especially hard for immigrants, he said, because the communities often lack a support network found in large cities, and if there’s an unexpected expense or reduction in work hours, there usually aren’t relatives nearby to help. That makes it hard for hunger issues to be solved in rural areas, Green said. It all helps to explain why one pantry alone, Upper Des Moines Opportunity, provides food to about 3,200 people in Storm Lake and nearby communities. “The shelves are as empty as I’ve ever seen it,” pantry worker Melissa Keller said. Finding a job isn’t the problem in Storm Lake, which is hours from Des Moines and Minneapolis. It’s finding one that pays enough to cover the bills.

BUSINESS

By BREE FOWLER

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Worries about the safety of Samsung’s replacement Galaxy Note 7 smartphones have consumers fretting about what to do. And they’re getting little guidance from the company. U.S. regulators ordered a recall of the original Note 7, a huge phone-bordering-on-tablet with a huge battery, in late September after the devices demonstrated an unwelcome tendency to catch fire. Now, after reports that the company’s replacement versions also have overheated or caught fire, Samsung said it is “temporarily adjusting “ Note 7 production to “ensure quality and safety matters.” But it neither confirmed nor denied a previous report by South Korea’s Yonhap news agency that it has suspended production of the phones. Samsung said it’s investigating the recent fires, while working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. A commission spokesman said Monday that his agency is investigating five new incidents since the recall was announced, although it hasn’t confirmed whether they all involved phones that were distributed as replacements for devices involved in the recall. The four major U.S. mobile carriers, meanwhile, have all suspended trade-ins for the replacement phones; so have major retailers such as Best Buy. Instead, these companies are offering to swap Note 7s out for any other smartphone of the customer’s choice. Here’s a look at the options for Note 7 owners.

Swap for a different Samsung phone

Samsung’s equivalent phones are mostly, well, old. If you just dropped several hundred dollars on the latest Samsung device, do you really want to trade it for last year’s model? One option is Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphone, which is slightly smaller and cheaper than the Note. While it has many of the same features of the Note, it lacks a stylus and the Note 7’s iris scanner. The phone also came out in March, which might render it perilously close to middle-aged where cutting-edge types are concerned. An older version of the Note also is an option, though also a disappointing one, given that the Note 5 (there was no Note 6) launched more than a year ago. Many Note 7 owners may already own one, or recently traded theirs in to get the Note 7.

A visitor tries out a Samsung Electronics Galaxy Note 7 smartphone at the company’s shop in Seoul, South Korea, Monday. Samsung Electronics has temporarily halted production of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported Monday, following reports that replacements for the fire-prone phones were also overheating. Corey Nahman, a 56-year-old salesman for a drug company in Long Island, anxiously awaited the arrival of the Note 7 and excitedly bought $150 worth of accessories to go with it. The Samsung loyalist also owns a Samsung tablet, TV and washer and dryer. Now he has a replacement Note 7 but isn’t sure what he’s supposed to do with it. “I’m not angry at them,” he said. “I’m more annoyed that nobody knows what’s going on.” Nahman said he loves the Note 7, but he’s getting a lot of pressure from his wife to swap out his phone, maybe for the Google Pixel XL. In the meantime he’s being careful not to charge his phone overnight. He turns it off completely before bed.

Swap for a phone made by someone else

Google’s new Pixel phones are coming out later this month, while LG and HTC also have large Android smartphones of varying ages on the market.

Apple’s iPhone 7 also recently launched, and has been fairly well received even though it no longer features the standard headphone jack. That means Note 7 owners would need adapters for their old earbuds; they also might find it jarring to switch from an Android phone to the iPhone. John Blackshear, an academic dean at Duke University, was a Samsung loyalist. He swapped his Note 7 – the third Galaxy Note he’s had – for the replacement version in September. But after hearing reports of problems with the replacement Note 7s, he traded in that phone for an iPhone 7 Plus on Friday. But his wife, who also has a replacement Note 7, hasn’t swapped hers because she likes it so much and relies on it for her job at Duke, he said. “I don’t know if it’s a big deal or not,” Blackshear said. “We haven’t gotten anything from Verizon or Samsung. There haven’t been emails or calls. I want to get something official.”

In the meantime, he said he and his wife are keeping the phone stored in high places where his three young children can’t grab it.

Wait it out

The obvious downside: Potential overheating and fire for those who insist on using their Note 7s. If you have an older phone lying around that you could reactivate for a while, this might not be a bad choice. Just make sure to power the Note 7 down before tossing it in a drawer. It’s possible that company and government investigations will determine that the fires, at least those involving the replacement phones, were just isolated incidents. Or Samsung might release another replacement phone that’s actually safe before long. It’s too early to tell. In the meantime, better safe than sorry.

Trevian Bell, a 6-foot6 wing, and Teyvion Kirk, the 6-3 point guard, not only are familiar names to local basketball gurus, the college recruiters know them well. Bell, who has committed to Wisconsin-Green Bay, also was courted by Furman, Illinois State, Southeast Missouri State, UIC and IUPUI. “The way their coach runs the program is perfect for me,” he said. “It’s fast-paced, you do a lot in transition and get a lot of shots. We have success here with a similar style.” Kirk will sign with Drake, choosing the Bulldogs over a list about a dozen deep that included UTEP, SIU, Duquesne, Brown and Green Bay. “They really wanted me and said I would play right away,” Kirk said. “During the summer, they had coaches at every one of my AAU games.” Bell and Kirk are entering their third seasons as varsity regulars. Seniors Tabyous Casterberry and Elijah Ward and juniors Eddie Creal, Mike Smith and Darien Bosby also were contributors to the Tigers’ 21-10 season a year ago. Playing against the Tigers this season will be a former teammate, senior guard Jason Bingham. He transferred from Joliet Central to West for last season and is back at Central, where Lawrence Thompson Jr., West’s sophomore coach and a varsity assistant last season, now is the head coach. “We’ve been waiting to say this – we’re senior heavy this year,” said West coach Nick DiForti, whose top assistant is Roger Plechaty. “We’ll be playing in some spotlight games against top teams in the state (Kenwood, Whitney Young and Bolingbrook are among shootout/nonconfer-

Our guys are excited about that.” “We came up short last year,” Kirk said. “We now know what it takes to get there. We’re using the mistakes we made last year for our growth this year. Trevian and I have to be more mature leaders this year.” Bell knows the Tigers will be ballyhooed and targeted, but said it matters not. “We just have to ignore the outside stuff,” he said. “Last year we got into the top 10 in the rankings, then we lost seven in a row and dropped out of the top 25. Then we won about eight in a row before we lost to Benet in the supersectional.”

“We always get everyone’s best game against us,” Kirk said. “That’s crazy. But we really don’t care who we play when. We still have the same fire that is left over from last year.” Bell said more than anything, it is a matter of the Tigers determining their level of success. “We have to go out and take what we want, not leave it to the opponents to decide that for us,” he said.

ATTACKING MISMATCHES

DiForti’s coaching style fits with what Bell and Kirk like to do. “He (DiForti) has a lot of confidence in all of us,” Bell said. “We attack mismatches, and with the system we run, we will have unlimited mismatches.

MEN’S SOCCER Judson 2, St. Francis 1: The Saints got

an early own goal before Judson rallied for the win.

What coach lets us do helped Teyvion and me a lot in the recruiting process.” “We had two positions that needed immediate attention when we brought Trevian and Teyvion up as sophomores,” DiForti said. “One was point guard and the other was a wing, or a stretch-4. Those two filled those spots.” DiForti noted that either Bell or Kirk can go off for 30 or 35 points on a given night, but that’s not what is foremost in their games. They are teamfirst. “Teyvion is a 6-3 point guard who plays like an overall guard,” DiForti said of Kirk. “Usually, it’s hard to find a guard who can play good on-the-ball defense on the major college level. With his quick hands and long arms, he can do that. That’s one of the big reasons Drake has said he can come in and perhaps be the starting point guard right away. “For us, he is molding into a captain and leader. What is impressive is how much he has matured over the last three years. The importance of a good point guard is huge. He is an extension of the coach on the floor. He is running the show on the floor.” As for Bell, he is the epitome of an all-around player. “Green Bay is a good fit for him and his style,” DiForti said. “If we feel we have a mismatch, he can post up with his back to the basket. He also can exploit guys on the perimeter.” DiForti said what has given West two D-I seniors, more than anything else, is the hard work they have put in. They have developed their bodies as well as their games, and they are good students. “Where they are now is a tribute to how hard they worked in the offseason,” DiForti said. They will be leading a Tigers program that has plenty of varsity experience and will be bolstered by good underclass talent. If basketball is your passion, West will be a must-see as the upcoming season unfolds.

Joliet’s version of Army-Navy on tap Saturday A year ago, Joliet Central was threatening to end its long losing streak. The Steelmen had rallied from a 14-0 halftime deficit to get within 14-12, failing to draw even with Joliet West because of a missed two-point conversion attempt with about eight minutes left. Central kept the pressure on, trying with all its might to halt the skid that began when the Joliet Township schools returned to separate programs in 2010. That’s when West linebacker Meekah Ben-Israel delivered the haymaker, intercepting a Zach Wisneski pass and battling his way to the end zone 58 yards away. West survived, 21-12. There also have been blowouts in the series that resumed in 2010, but the two teams always are psyched for the matchup. It’s Joliet’s version of Army-Navy.

Joliet Central vs. Joliet West

VIEWS Dick Goss West will visit Central at 1 p.m. Saturday. The Steelmen have won once this season, beating Plainfield Central, 38-35, in a Week 4 thriller. West, meanwhile, is 5-2 and for all practical purposes has sewn up a playoff berth. The Tigers would like nothing better than to finish 7-2 and perhaps land a home playoff game. If not that, they at least want to avoid drawing one of the top seeds in the Class 8A bracket in the opening round. Before this season, the Steelmen and Tigers toiled in the SouthWest Suburban Blue. Now they are members of the 10-team Southwest Prairie Conference. There is nothing wrong with the competition in the SPC, but when you

2015 - West 21, Central 12 2014 - West 41, Central 0 2013 - West 50, Central 0 2012 - West 21, Central 3 2011 - West 21, Central 0 2010 - West 32, Central 8 (Results since separate programs were restored.) can erase the likes of Lincoln-Way East, Homewood-Flossmoor and Bolingbrook from the schedule, you get through a season – and get by week to week – feeling a little less beat up physically. Saturday’s game should be fun, and it should attract a crowd. If the Steelmen can concentrate on the things they do well and avoid mistakes, they can give the Tigers another battle.

1. Lincoln-Way East (6-1): The Griffins have an opportunity to knock off a quality opponent Friday night when they visit unbeaten SouthWest Suburban Conference foe Bradley. 2. Lemont (7-0): Every unbeaten is challenged occasionally, and the Indians escaped a serious threat last week. Steven Fleming kicked three field goals, including the 24-yard game-winner with 3:43 remaining, and caught nine passes for 147 yards in a 30-28 win over T.F. South. 3. Plainfield North (5-2): The Tigers rolled past Plainfield South, 35-0, last week and continue their pursuit of a 7-2 finish, which they hope will be good enough to secure the first home playoff game in school history. 4. Lockport (5-2): The Porters jump up in the rankings after knocking off Lincoln-Way West, 14-7. Defensive ends Josh Baker and David Balderrama cause problems for enemy offenses. 5. Lincoln-Way Central (5-2): The Knights rallied in the fourth quarter to score a huge 4228 victory at Bolingbrook and should absolutely clinch their playoff berth with a victory Friday night at Andrew. 6. Lincoln-Way West (4-3): The Warriors slide down a couple notches in the rankings after falling at Lockport, 14-7. West has dropped three straight entering Friday’s home game against Thornridge (5-2), which is coming off a 50-7 loss to Homewood-Flossmoor. 7. Morris (5-2): The Redskins are returning to the playoffs after leveling Kaneland, 34-3, behind a 450-yard rushing attack as Michael Feeney, Keagan Sobol and quarterback Ricky Del Favero all went over 100.

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Plainfield North’s Gabby Ochalik returns a shot during her match last week against Joliet’s Eileen Carney in the first singles final at the Southwest Prairie Conference meet. “We played very well this season as a team,” Porters coach Bob Champlin said. “Our dual record was 18-4-1, and we won both the Lockport and Lincoln East tournaments. Our team was good all the way down the lineup. The girls worked

hard on their own in the offseason and with the team during the season.” Joliet junior Eileen Carney and Plainfield North junior Gabby Ochalik are two-time qualifiers. In the last two sectionals, Carney defeated Ochalik

8. Joliet West (5-2): The Tigers earned their way into the playoffs with a 42-30 victory over Minooka and prepare to face crosstown rival Joliet Central. 9. Bolingbrook (3-4): The Raiders suffered a devastating loss last week as Lincoln-Way Central scored three times in the fourth quarter for a 42-28 victory. Now Bolingbrook must beat Thornwood on Friday night and Homewood-Flossmoor in Week 9 to gain a playoff berth. 10. Providence (3-4): The Celtics took their best shot but came up short at Fenwick, 35-28. Now they must win at unbeaten Loyola on Saturday and at home against Mount Carmel to make the playoffs.

It won’t be easy, of course. West has improved as the season has progressed to the point where the Tigers, given a decent draw, perhaps can be competitive in the 8A playoffs. We mentioned Ben-Israel and his interception return last season. He now is a linebacker being red-shirted at Illinois State, which has lost four straight after opening with two victories, including a win over Northwestern. Also at ISU are a couple other interesting names. Lincoln-Way West graduate B.J. Bello, who transferred to the Redbirds from Illinois for his senior season, is a starting linebacker. He has 21 solo tackles, 40 total, 5.5 for loss and four sacks. Then there’s Nazareth graduate Decxavier

A matchup with unbeaten Wilmington looms in Week 9. 3.

Kelly-Martin, a red-shirt freshman linebacker who has seen action in five of ISU’s six games. He is the older brother of Oswego East senior running back Ivory Kelly-Martin, who has been tearing up the SPC after transferring in from Nazareth. Last season, he and his Nazareth teammates beat Lincoln-Way West, 42-21, for the Class 5A state championship. But, we digress. In addition to the West-Central game, there are others of interest on the local menu this weekend. For example, Joliet Catholic will have a shot at its first victory Friday night when it visits Marian Catholic, which is 1-6. Our area’s other winless team, Plainfield Central, will shoot for its first win since late in the 2012 season Friday night against Romeoville. The Spartans lost their first five

but have gotten off the deck, winning their last two feeling as if they can finish on a fourgame streak. Lincoln-Way West, Plainfield South, Coal City, Peotone and Seneca will become playoff eligible with another victory. On the other hand, Providence, Bolingbrook and Minooka must win their last two games in order to qualify. The Celtics’ road begins with a visit to powerful Loyola on Saturday afternoon. Yikes. And the Raiders not only must beat Thornwood but also unbeaten, mighty Homewood-Flossmoor in Week 9. Minooka has the task of tackling Kelly-Martin and Oswego East on Friday night and also would have to take down rival Plainfield South in Week 9.

Fifteen area girls tennis players have enjoyed the thrill of advancing to the state finals, and this weekend they’ll compete in sectionals for the chance to do it again. Seven of them already have made multiple trips, and four will be looking to finish their careers with a fourth consecutive appearance. Four singles players and four doubles teams will qualify from the five sectionals in which local teams are entered. Those who move along will get the opportunity to compete in the initial two-class finals, which will be held at various sites in the northwest suburbs. More than half of the area teams will participate in the Plainfield South Sectional, which runs Friday and Saturday. Those teams are Bolingbrook, Joliet Township, Lockport, Minooka, Plainfield Central, Plainfield East, Plainfield North and Romeoville in addition to the host. Lockport senior Tomi Jo Mansell is a three-time qualifier while senior Mary Kate Buchheit went last year. In last week’s SouthWest Suburban Blue Conference meet, the pair teamed up at first doubles to win the title. In addition, Cassidy Hillock won the title at second singles, and Brianna Hillock and Kaitlyn Graves took top honors at second doubles.

for the championship in singles, which was also the outcome in last weekend’s Southwest Prairie Conference meet. Also for North, senior Meg Chadick will look to make a return trip to state when she teams with Sarah Trusk, a pairing that won an SPC title at first doubles, as did Shreya Sharma at second singles. Minooka features a pair of qualifiers from 2014. Juniors Gabby Hajduk and Grace Thelo. The pair had to settle for fourth in the conference after an Achilles tendon injury to Hajduk, but she’ll be good to go this weekend. In the Class 2A Andrew Sectional, Lincoln-Way Central, Lincoln-Way East and Lincoln-Way West will participate. East senior Jade Christensen is a twotime qualifier, while West senior Olivia Judge advanced last year. Joliet Catholic Academy and Lemont will be in the Class 1A Benet Academy Sectional. Angels seniors Maddie Bauer and McCoy Hutchison are unbeaten and will be seeking a fourth straight trip as a doubles team. Lemont sophomore Grace Horky and senior Gabby Rabianski qualified last season. Coal City and Morris will be at the 1A LaSalle-Peru Sectional. Morris senior Megan Davy will try to qualify for a fourth year in a row while senior Alyssa Larsen hopes to make a repeat visit to state. Also, Providence Catholic will compete at 1A Marian Catholic Sectional.

30 BOYS AND GIRLS GOLF: STATE FINALS PREVIEW

Providence, Lemont boys lead state golf qualifiers By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com Providence Catholic’s boys golf teams have advanced to the IHSA finals for the third year in a row as well as for the sixth time in the last eight seasons. But while coach John Platt’s squads have plenty of experience at state and have fared pretty well there, they’ll be seeking a first when they take part in this weekend’s Class 3A finals at The Den at Fox Creek Golf Course in Bloomington – their initial trophy in the sport. The Celtics have been one of the top teams in Illinois throughout the season, as is evidenced by their six invitational titles and first-place efforts in their regional and sectional. They’ll be competing for one of the three available trophies along with four-time defending champion Hinsdale Central and the other two sectional winners, Glenbrook South and Mundelein. Others in the hunt figure to be Geneva, Loyola Academy and New Trier. Providence is led by Ricky Costello, who will be making his fourth state appearance. The senior was fourth at state a year ago after placing sixth in 2014 to become his school’s first twotime placewinner. The Celtics’ best state finish was a fourth-place effort in 2014. Senior Michael Cascino has been on all three state squads, while seniors Zach Bilotta and Gino Sanfilppo and junior Tyler Roat also played on last year’s team at state. Senior Adam Harrington competed in the Pekin Sectional, which the Celtics won by three strokes. Also advancing in Class 3A are Minooka senior Dan Anfield, who will be making his second state trip, and Plainfield North junior Gavin Doyle, who’s a first-time qualifier. In the boys Class 2A finals, which will be played at the Weibring Golf Club at Illinois State University in Normal, Lemont will compete as a team and three individuals will also take part. Coach Mark Hollatz’s Indians advanced to state for a third straight season. They have competed in all eight finals when they’ve been in Class 2A during the last 10 years. Their best finish during that time was third place in 2011. Lemont won its first sectional title since 2011 behind junior Raymond Sullivan, who was the medalist. The Indians edged Chicago Christian by a stroke at the St. Rita Sectional. Sullivan, who was 12th at state last season, has played on all three of Lemont’s recent state teams, while seniors Mike Durkin and Jack Lund and junior Jack Kramer also were on last year’s

Five girls from the area will be competing in this weekend’s Class 2A finals, which will be held at Hickory Point Golf Club in Forsyth. Providence Catholic senior Alyssa Gromala qualified for state for the fourth straight year. Lincoln-Way Central sophomore Brianne Bolden will make her second state trip; and her teammate, sophomore Grace Curran, is headed to state for the first time. Also qualifying from an area school is Lincoln-Way East junior Hannah Hill, who will make her first trip. Lauren Beaudreau, who lives in Lemont but attends Benet Academy, is one of the favorites in the competition. The sophomore shot a 67 to win the Lockport Sectional by five strokes, and she hopes to place high for the second straight year after finishing fourth last season.

32 CUBS

Cubs wait to see who they’ll meet after reaching NLCS again By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Best in the majors this season, the Cubs cleared their first big October hurdle. Now, they wait to see who’s next. The Cubs advanced to the NL Championship Series for the second straight year by knocking out the San Francisco Giants in a thrilling fourgame National League Division Series. They will face the winner of Thursday’s Game 5 between the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers in what they hope will be another step toward the World Series championship that has eluded the franchise since 1908. Game 1 is at Wrigley Field on Saturday. “I think it validates on a lot of different levels the job that we have done to this point,” manager Joe Maddon said. “I think if you’re a player on this particular team within the organization, it’s getting to the point now you want to expect to get to the postseason and you want to expect to get deeply into the postseason. It also speaks to the way we played.” The Cubs are looking for more this time after getting swept by the New York Mets in the NLCS a year ago. The Cubs dominated like no other team in the majors this season, running away with the NL Central championship. They got off to a 25-6 start and spent all but two days in first place on the way to a major leaguebest 103-58 record – the most wins by the Cubs since they finished the 1910 season with 104.

Cubs players celebrate around pitcher Aroldis Chapman (center foreground) on Tuesday after Game 4 of their National League Division Series against the San Francisco Giants in San Francisco. The Cubs won, 6-5. For a franchise defined by heartbreak rather than championships, one can only imagine the anxiety in Chicago had the NLDS returned to Wrigley Field for a Game 5 on Thursday. But instead of the billy goat and black cat and Bartman, all thoughts are on the next round for a team that has followed Maddon’s advice to embrace the high expectations. “I think we’re growing every day,” pitcher Jon Lester said. “The biggest theme for us is just never quit. We always battle and grind out until the last out and see what happens.” The NLDS sure was one wild grind.

That series had it all, whether it was Lester and Johnny Cueto dominating on the mound in Game 1, Javier Baez coming up with huge hits or spectacular plays, the Giants rallying in Game 3 and ultimately winning in 13 innings, or the Cubs scoring four in the ninth on Tuesday to wrap things up. The Cubs joined the 1986 New York Mets (in Game 6 of the NLCS against Houston) as the only teams to rally from a three-run deficit in the ninth to win a playoff series clincher. They also stopped the San Francisco’s 10game winning streak when facing postseason elimination and squashed

the possibility of another even-year championship. The Giants won the World Series in 2010, 2012 and 2014. “They played us tough,” MVP candidate Kris Bryant said. “I feel like if it did go back to Chicago, we were ready to play. It’s nice to get it done here, kind of regroup and find out who we’re playing next.” Whether it’s Washington or Los Angeles, either series would offer intriguing storylines. If it’s the Nationals, how does Dusty Baker going against the Cubs in the postseason sound? Not that anyone would mention the Cubs’ collapse five outs shy of the World Series in the 2003 NLCS against the Marlins, when he was the Cubs’ manager. No need to recall Steve Bartman, or shortstop Alex Gonzalez’s error on a potential double-play grounder. If it’s Los Angeles, well, there’s the connection between Maddon and Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, his boss in Tampa Bay. But for now, the Cubs can rest. Avoiding a Game 5 against San Francisco means Maddon could go with Lester in Game 1 of the NLCS. It also quiets talk of curses for at least a few days, although this group refuses to buy into superstitions. Little seems to rattle these Cubs, for that matter. “They’re so balanced, great pitching staff, great bullpen, that’s why they won over a hundred games,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “So whoever plays them has their work cut out. That’s how good they are. And we played them tough.”

BLUES 5, BLACKHAWKS 2

Tarasenko helps Blues top the Blackhawks in season opener By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Vladimir Tarasenko had two goals and an assist, and the St. Louis Blues beat the Blackhawks, 5-2, on Wednesday in an opening-night matchup of Central Division rivals. Kevin Shattenkirk and Paul Stastny each had a power-play goal and two assists for the Blues, who eliminated the Hawks in seven games in the first round of the playoffs in April. Jake Allen had 17 saves in his first game since he became St. Louis’ clear No. 1 goaltender with Brian Elliott’s June trade to Calgary. Richard Panik and Ryan Hartman scored for the Hawks, who had

six rookies in the starting lineup, including four playing their first NHL game. Corey Crawford finished with 29 saves. Hartman put the Hawks in front 2-1 with his first NHL goal at 13:57 of the second, but the Hawks were whistled for three penalties in a span of 1:34 late in the second. Captain Jonathan Toews was sent off for slashing with 2:06 left in the period, veteran center Artem Anisimov got called for hooking and defenseman Duncan Keith received a high-sticking penalty at 19:28. During the delay after the call on Keith, Tarasenko tied it at 2 with a wrist shot that beat Crawford on the goaltender’s stick side. The 24-yearold Tarasenko set career highs with 40

goals and 74 points last season. Hawks defenseman Brent Seabrook saved a goal when he swept a bouncing puck off the line late in the second. But the Blues went ahead to stay on Stastny’s power-play goal 55 seconds into the third off a rebound from Tarasenko’s shot. The Hawks had two power-play opportunities in the third, but it was turned away each time. Tarasenko then finished off the Hawks with an empty-netter with 1:06 remaining, and Scottie Upshall was credited with a second empty-netter on what looked like an own-goal for the Hawks. NOTES: RW Nail Yakupov was in the lineup for the Blues. He was acquired in a trade with Edmonton on Friday.

... Hawks winger Marian Hossa remains stuck on 499 career goals. He assisted on Panik’s goal in the first. ... Hawks D Niklas Hjalmarsson completed his suspension for charging Blues forward Ty Rattie during a preseason game Oct. 1. D Michal Rozsival and C Dennis Rasmussen also were scratched. ... St. Louis scratched Rattie, D Carl Gunnarsson and LW Magnus Paajarvi. ... Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles got a standing ovation when she was shown on the videoboard during the first period. She acknowledged the cheering crowd with a wave. Up next: Hawks: Visit Nashville on Friday and then host the Predators on Saturday night.

‘I had no idea life was like that’

Bleak lives of 3rd World children shown in ‘The Compassion Experience’ By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

PLAINFIELD – What am I going to do today? Typically one might mentally run through work and household duties, picking the kids up from soccer and taking the dog to the vet. But John Ciesniewski, pastor at the Plainfield campus of Community Christian Church, said children in Third World countries have just one thought: “Am I going to survive today?” It’s a question the community can help answer Oct. 21 to 24, when Compassion International brings its “Compassion Experience” to the parking lots of CCC’s Plainfield and Naperville campuses. “It’s quite a setup,” Ciesniewski said. “They transform a double-wide truck trailer into a Third World country.” According to a news release, “The Compassion Experience” is a self-guided virtual journey into the poverty-stricken lives of children living in Kenya, the Dominican Republic, Uganda or Bolivia. The 2,000 square feet of exhibit space features replicas of these environments and homes. Visitors of the free, familyfriendly event are able to interact with the exhibit using iPods and headsets, the news release stated. The goal of “The Compassion Experience” is twofold. One is to educate people who are unable to travel to developing counties and see the reality of the hardships for themselves. The second is to help individual children through Compassion International sponsorships. The need is great. Compassion serves more than 1.9 million children in 26 of the world’s most impoverished countries, the news release stated. Ciesniewski said CCC as a whole sponsors 600 children from two different countries through Compassion International. The CCC website at communitychristian.org stated CCC has 12 locations. Sponsorship opportunities will be available at the church locations hosting “The Compassion Experience,” he added. Steve Hinkle of Joliet said he saw “The Compassion Experience” two years ago when it was set up at Trinity Christian School in Shorewood. At the time, Hinkle was a teacher at Families

of Faith Christian Academy in Channahon and brought a group of high school students to see it. Witnessing the impoverished homes and the sparse amount of food the kids eat was a stark eye-opener for him and his students. Hinkle said he already sponsors one child from Haiti through LifeSpring Community Church in Plainfield and has taken mission trips in the U.S., but he wasn’t prepared for what he saw. “I would encourage anyone to see it, especially if they don’t have the money to go to another country,” Hinkle said.

“People will walk away with a better understanding. I can’t think of another word other than ‘impactful.’ ” Interacting with “The Compassion Experience” resulted in some students taking up a donation, one class sponsoring a child and other students bringing home information, which led to more sponsorships, Hinkle said. If people choose not to sponsor, Hinkle said the experience should trigger this thought: “I’m grateful for what I have. Is there someone I can help?” “Even if we’re going through hard times, there are people with bigger

needs than myself,” Hinkle said. “I’m not so bad off.” How accurate is “The Compassion Experience?” Ciesniewski feels it’s very accurate. He has traveled to several Third World countries as part of mission trips and most recently visited Haiti. Ciesniewski recalled a conversation with one 16-year-old named Don. The boy hadn’t eaten the previous day and didn’t expect to eat that day, either, Ciesniewski said. The job situation in Haiti is so poor, Don really had no means of earning money, he added. “You and I expect to eat three or four times a day,” Ciesniewski said. “He’s hoping to eat three or four times a week. I had no idea that life was like that.” Ciesniewski said Haiti’s living conditions are shocking. Most people live in a 10-by-10-foot cinder block home with a dirt floor and a corrugated steel roof. During his last trip, six of the missionaries, Ciesniewski among them, were invited into one of those homes. “It was 105 degrees that day,” Ciesniewski said. “We could barely breathe, but they thought nothing of it. It’s always hot in Haiti.”

BOLINGBROOK – Bolingbrook High School, in cooperation with Friendship United Methodist Church in Bolingbrook, has launched a new mentoring program for freshmen seeking additional support in developing successful coping skills and navigating the plethora of resources that will help them get to the next level after high school graduation. The Career Choices Club is based on a successful program known as Career Choices for High School Students (CCHSS) that has been in place at the church for several years thanks to the vision of the Rev. Anna Shin. Several BHS freshmen and church and community volunteers met for the first time on Sept. 26. They will meet monthly with nine or ten volunteers from a wide variety of professional backgrounds. Each volunteer will mentor up to three students throughout their high school career. The club, which will primarily meet in the new College and Career Center at Bolingbrook High School, will tap resources provided by Jane Addams Resource Corporation, the College of DuPage, Heart Haven Outreach and several other partnering organizations. Local businesses will provide light meals for each meeting. Future plans include trips to colleges, visits to various businesses and even some community service efforts. Officials hope to get parents involved as well. The next meeting will be from 2:15

Mentor Eugene Paquette talks with freshman Adam Garabito during a Bolingbrook High School Career Choices Club gathering.

Two Joliet churches hosted Eucharistic procession on Sept. 11

JOLIET – On Sept. 11, the Catholic parishes of Holy Cross and St. Mary Nativity host a Eucharistic procession. Two hundred parishioners and friends marched down the streets of both parish neighborhoods. Many neighbors came out of their home to show proper honor to the Eucharistic Body of Christ and to view the Polish Highlanders and give respect to the U.S. flag carried by the Catholic Boy Scouts of America.

Gum disease impacts overall health Dear Dr. K: My dentist always is going on about gum disease. Is it really a big deal? If so, what should I do to prevent it? Dear Reader: I understand your skepticism. It seems hard to believe your gums could cause serious problems. The kidneys, the liver, the heart, the brain – of course. But the gums? Yes, the gums: Your dentist is right. Periodontal disease, also known as periodontitis and gum disease, is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Our mouths house complex networks of bacteria. When all of the species are in balance, our gums are protected from disease-causing bacteria. Disturbing this balance provides an opening for disease-causing bacteria to cause inflammation of the gums, and that destroys gum tissue. The effects of gum disease vary from person to person. In some people, it causes mild redness and swelling of the gums (gingivitis). In others, it can destroy the tooth’s bony support structure, leading to tooth loss. However, the reason your dentist may be urging you to protect your gums is not just because of the dental problems gum disease causes. People with gum disease also are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, pregnancy complications and dementia. We don’t yet know if gum disease actually causes these health problems. There is considerable evidence inflammation in the gums causes harmful molecules to leave the gums and spread in the bloodstream throughout the body. On the other hand, it might be the link between gum disease and diseases of other organs is explained in a different way. For example, people with chronic health issues have more difficulty taking care of their

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff teeth and gums. The good news is the association probably works both ways. That is, successfully treating gum disease probably reduces the severity of the other diseases with which gum disease is linked, and vice versa. Here are some of the best ways to reduce your risk of gum disease: • Brush and floss. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Floss before bedtime. • Don’t smoke. People who smoke up to a half a pack of cigarettes a day are almost three times as likely as nonsmokers to have periodontitis. • Eat a healthy diet. A diet rich in vegetables, vegetable oils, fruits, legumes, nuts and fatty fish helps suppress inflammation in the gums and throughout the body. • Get regular dental checkups and cleanings. Your dentist or dental hygienist can remove bacteria-harboring plaque and spot the first signs of periodontal disease. • Get treatment at the first signs of gum disease. Swollen, bleeding gums, pockets of pus or gums that have pulled away from your teeth are the most dramatic signs of gum disease. Subtler changes include widening spaces between your teeth, and bridges or partial dentures that don’t fit as well as they once did. So your dentist is not exaggerating the importance of gum disease. It’s something you can do a great deal to prevent. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

husband is very political, and around election time he becomes engrossed in news shows. He has a habit of showing his favorite political news clips to friends when they visit. I am uncomfortable with this, as I feel our friends are too polite to decline and they allow my husband to preach politics to them out of courtesy to the host. They are like-minded, politically speaking, and the few who aren’t are not going to be swayed by comedy news shows. I excuse myself from the room when he begins his sermons. I have asked him to stop doing this when friends visit, but he refuses. How can I persuade him to just have “friends time” with no politics? – Politically Unmotivated Dear Politically Unmotivated: You can’t. You aren’t going to change your husband. Fortunately, most of your friends are politically like-minded. Those who find his entertainment to be offensive will postpone seeing you until after the election is over. So stop stressing. Dear Abby: Is it OK for a person who went to AA a few years ago and has gone totally alcohol-free, to start having a beer every other night or even keep a bottle of vodka around to have every now and then? Or should you stay alcohol-free to be sure this issue doesn’t happen again? – Alcohol-Free Dear Alcohol-Free: For some individuals it may be possible to have an occasional drink without falling completely off the wagon, but I wouldn’t recommend it. And as to keeping a bottle of vodka around to nip into “every now and then,” I think that makes as much sense as keeping a box of chocolates in the house if someone is addicted to sweets. (And many of us are.) Dear Abby: My sister-in-law wants to choose the gifts we give them. She doesn’t have enough manners to smile, accept a gift and say “thank you” as we were raised to do. She told us, “All those educational toys you gave my son, I donated them.” I have donated much of what she has given us, but I would never tell her that. She’s now ordering toys and having them delivered to our home for us to wrap and give to her son. I already had bought a kaleidoscope, books, racetrack and a huge jar of little cars to use as rewards since he’s 4 and still not potty-trained. She sent us a thank-you note (the first one ever) for the gifts they sent us to give my nephew, but did not mention the eight items I bought. Please help me cope with this extremely rude sister-in-law. – Trying To Cope

Kin Hubbard, the creator of the cartoon Abe Martin of Brown County, said, “Honesty pays, but it doesn’t seem to pay enough to suit some people.” Playing suit combinations correctly pays at the bridge table. An expert enjoys an advantage because he knows so many of them, but even then, care might be needed. What should South have done in his fourspade contract after ruffing the third round of clubs? Remember that you do not pre-empt against a pre-empt. Jump overcalls are strong. South has three top losers: two clubs and one spade. So he must find East with both of the red-suit kings. However, he probably needs to take three finesses: one in hearts and two in diamonds. This requires either lots of dummy entries or being able to run a card from the dummy that can win the trick assuming the finesse is successful. Declarer has only one way into the dummy, via the spade eight. So he must carefully ruff the third club high, then lead a top trump. Let’s suppose West wins and plays another club. South ruffs high once more and overtakes his spade two with dummy’s eight. What next? Suppose declarer runs the diamond nine. Then he will be stuck. If he leads the 10 next, he will have to win the trick with his jack, so he should try the queen, but East can cover with the king to strand South in his hand. Declarer should first lead the diamond queen and unblock his jack. Then he can run the diamond 10. When that holds, he plays a heart to his queen and claims.
