PLAINFIELD – Plans toturn the Route 30 corridor intoa tax increment financing dis-trict were delayed after themeasure failed to get four votesat the Village Board meetingMonday night.

Trustees voted on a $78,200contract with SB Friedman De-velopment Advisors to conductan eligibility study to deter-mine if the struggling corridorwould be eligible for tax incre-ment financing, or TIF, fundsfor redevelopment.

The contract also wouldhave charged the consultingfirm with developing a redevel-opment project area plan and aredevelopment strategy.

With trustees Margie Bo-nuchi, Garrett Peck and DanRippy absent, the contractneeded four votes. But MayorMike Collins and Trustee PaulFay voted against the contract,while trustees Jim Racich andBill Lamb voted for it.

Fay said he didn’t see a needto spend that amount of moneyfor the study because too fewparcels would be affected by it.

“There are wetlands thatcannot be touched,” Fay said,

referring to the Lake RenwickPreserve area and noting sev-eral plazas and car dealershipsare along the corridor rightnow. “I’m concerned aboutspending that type of funds forwhat I perceive is relatively afew parcels.”

Collins spoke in favor of“sprucing” up the corridor.But he said after the meetingthat he voted against the con-tract to possibly bring it up ata future meeting, since it didn’tget the four board members’ re-quired votes.

Village Administrator Bri-an Murphy explained that atrustee who votes against anagenda item can bring the itemup at a later meeting if there isa change of mind.

Murphy said with the Il-linois Department of Trans-portation making its im-provements to Route 30 fromRenwick Road to Interstate 55,it was the opportune time tohave a conversation of a TIFdistrict along the corridor.

“The corridor has seensome challenges due to thedownturn of the economy,”Murphy said, touting thesuccess of the downtown TIFdistrict as hope that the samedesignation could help turn the

corridor around.

Goldfish Swim SchoolTrustees voted to approve

the annexation, an annex-ation agreement and rezoningof 12315 S. Rhea Drive to be-come the site of Goldfish SwimSchool, a swimming school forchildren ages 4 months to 13years.

Before voting, Racich calledout the owner, Randall Barba,for saying the pool would onlybe used for swimming lessonsat the Nov. 17 meeting. Racichsaid Village Planner MichaelGarrigan confirmed after thatmeeting the facility also wouldbe used to host children’s par-ties.

Barba said he didn’t try to“bait and switch,” as Racichsuggested, but apologized forthe miscommunication.

Tax levyThe board also held a public

hearing for the 2014 tax levy,which they approved at thesame rate as last year, 0.4669,for $5,486,100.

Members of the PlainfieldMasonic Lodge 536 also onMonday received a plaque des-ignating the Masonic Block asa historic building.

Lab tests on bullets cited at Glover Sr. hearingBy BRIAN STANLEY

[email protected]

JOLIET – Prosecutors saylab tests showed Eric GloverSr. once fired the same gunthat was used to kill VelmaFranklin.

But defense lawyers arguedsince one of the bullets used tomake the comparison was de-stroyed after testing, the resultscan’t be used in his murder tri-al. Glover Sr. appeared in courtMonday before Judge CarlaAlessio Policandriotes.

Franklin, 30, was shot todeath on June 17, 2002, in theThird Avenue home she sharedwith Glover Sr. and her fourchildren. Glover Sr. was arrest-ed soon after Franklin’s death,but was not brought to trial be-fore charges were dismissed.

But while being questionedby detectives, Glover Sr. admit-ted to firing a bullet into thebedroom wall two months ear-

lier. Glover Sr. claimed the gunwent off accidentally, thoughwitnesses testified earlier thisyear Franklin told them he wasthreatening her and had beenpointing the gun at her head be-fore he fired just above it.

The bullet in the wall wasfound as police were investi-gating Franklin’s death. By ad-mitting he’d used the gun twomonths before Franklin wasslain, Glover Sr. was sentencedto prison for unlawful use of aweapon by a felon.

But while the wall bul-let and the bullet recoveredfrom Franklin’s head weretested at the same time, Jolietpolice gave the wall bullet adifferent case number than themurder investigation and it wasdestroyed after the weaponscase was resolved.

A cold case review by thestate’s attorney’s office renewedmurder charges in 2012 whileGlover Sr. was, and is, serving

a prison sentence for being anarmed habitual criminal.

Walter Sherk, comparedthe two .38-caliber bullets atthe state police crime lab twodays after Franklin’s death.The now-retired Sherk testi-fied Monday he could only re-call testing the evidence fromreviewing two “fired bullet”worksheets and two lab reports.

The lab reports indicate thebullets were fired from the samegun, which was never found.

“And if one was destroyedit would [then] be impossibleto make an identification,” As-sistant Public Defender LitriciaPayne asked.

“Yes, I think so. ... I knowso,” Sherk acknowledged.

One more witness is expect-ed to testify about bullet testingat another hearing next weekbefore prosecutors argue the ev-idence should be admitted andGlover Sr.’s lawyers argue thecase should be dismissed.

MORRIS – Board membersapplauded Monday night as Da-vid Welter walked to his newchair as Grundy County’s newCounty Board chairman.

Welter was nominated forchairman at the reorgani-zational meeting held at theGrundy County Administra-tion Building.

The motion to select Welteras chairman passed with mostboard members approving themotion except for Frank Hal-pin, who abstained from vot-ing.

Grundy County has filed alawsuit against Halpin afterWelter brought it to the coun-ty’s attention that Halpin al-legedly misappropriated funds

when Halpin was chairman ofthe board.

Board member Eric Ras-

musson was not present at thetime of the vote.

Welter, who has served on

the County Board since age 19,said he thinks it’s awesome hiscolleagues selected him to leadthe board and that his experi-ence on the board for the pastfour years has prepared himfor this position.

“After Ron Severson saidhe wasn’t coming back to theboard, I felt I would be the rightperson to lead the county forthe next two years,” said the23-year-old. “As I’ve sat on theboard, I’ve been given moreand more responsibilities overthe last four years.”

Fellow Republican EricRasmusson also put his namein last month for the top boardspot, but only Welter was nomi-nated Monday.

Welter shared laughs withboard member Vicki Geiger af-ter the reorganizational meet-

ing.Geiger said Welter has at-

tended more meetings than anyother board member.

“Anytime you elect some-one as vice chair, you hopethey have the potential of be-coming chairman. He has donethat and proved himself,” Gei-ger said.

Welter served as vice chair-man under Severson.

Welter said he has big plansfor the county as the new chair-man and that the county hasmany projects it’s working onand planning to start.

Board member David Nel-son was elected by the board asvice chairman with most mem-bers approving the motion andMillie Dyer and Frank Halpin

3COVER STORYNewWill County board,officials sworn into officeNEW TERM

By LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

JOLIET – OK, now it’s offi-cial.

Inside a Will County Boardroom packed with family andfriends Monday, incomingcounty officials and boardmembers were sworn induring a special ceremony.

It was a good day for Repub-licans, with wins in the Nov.4 election having tipped thescale so much that the partynow has a 15-11 majority on theWill County Board.

Among the new faces whosigned oaths of office were An-nette Parker, a Lockport Town-ship Park Board member fromCrest Hill. Her win in District9 was perhaps one of the mostshocking, with Parker beinga Republican in a historical-ly Democrat-leaning districtcomprised of Joliet, Lockport,New Lenox, Plainfield, Troyand Homer townships.

Both she and DemocratLauren Staley-Ferry, daugh-ter-in-law to board memberMark Ferry, edged out long-

time board member WalterAdamic in the Nov. 4 election.

Republicans Darren Ben-nefield and Gretchen Fritz

also were sworn in. The twowill represent District 5, com-prised of Plainfield and Wheat-land townships.

Also sworn in Mondaywere Will County Clerk NancySchultz Voots, County SheriffMike Kelley and County Trea-

surer Steve Weber.Kelley won a nail-biter of

a contest over his Republicanopponent Ken Kaupas lastmonth by just 0.002 percent ofthe vote.

Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort,appointed board speaker onMonday, was re-elected in Dis-trict 2 alongside Cory Singer.Singer’s win marks his secondtime on the board after an un-successful run for county exec-utive in 2012.

Moustis said he looks for-ward to working with bothsides of the aisle – with a num-ber of costly capital projects,including a new courthouseand a remodeled sheriff’s facil-ity, earmarked in the comingyears.

“We have many challengesin front of us,” Moustis said.“But I think we can accom-plish much in the next year.”

After being appointed asthe new Republican caucuschairman, Board memberChuck Maher held up a Band-Aid he found on his desk.

Students collect clothing forMorningStarBy VIKAAS SHANKER

[email protected]

JOLIET – About 100 stu-dents at Lincoln School inJoliet learned service andcommunication skills whilecollecting more than 1,000 arti-cles of clothing for donation toMorningStar Mission.

The clothing drive, orga-nized and advertised by thestudents, was part of one class’service learning project.

“It’s phenomenal that thestudents – 85 percent of themqualifying for free and reducedlunch – were able to raisethis much,” Principal ScottPritchard said, adding that noprevious service project hasresulted in as many donations.

Some school staff donatedtoo, but Pritchard said it wasmostly a student effort.

Lincoln is an alternativeschool for troubled teens fromsixth grade to age 21. The WillCounty Regional Office ofEducation runs the school at960 Royce Ave. as part of theregional safe school program,which aims to build an aca-demic and behavioral founda-tion for students.

As part of the curriculum,each class conducts two ser-vice learning projects eachyear.

Students from teacherCortney Troy’s class wantedto do a clothing drive for thehomeless for their project. So

they created posters and ad-vertised the drive throughoutthe school.

“Each classroom does a

different project,” Troy said,adding that the clothing drivetaught students speaking, or-ganization and communica-tion skills while also givingthem positive activities to puton college applications.

The whole school got in-volved, with a popcorn partyawaiting the class that donat-ed the most clothing.

“Of course you’re going towant the popcorn party, butit just feels good, too,” saidEvelyn James, one of Troy’sstudents. “It’s just somethingnice to do.”

MorningStar Mission Vol-unteer Coordinator JackieKinney said donations fromschools such as Lincoln arevery special.

“Sometimes the smallestdonors are the most gener-ous,” Kinney said. “The chil-dren, they get into it so fastand so wholeheartedly, andthey want to make sure oth-er people don’t deal with thesame hardships their familiesgo through.”

James said the clothingdrive makes her motivated towork on another project nextyear.

Lincoln School senior Kendell Morris hands one of many bags of clothes to a MorningStar Mission workerMonday afternoon in the school parking lot. MorningStar Mission came to the school to collect more than1,000 articles of clothing collected by Lincoln students for their service learning project.

Joliet VFW honors veterans with Hall of HonorIf you go

What: Hall of Honor, a recogni-tion of local veteransWhere: VFW Post 2199, 124Stone City Drive in JolietWhen: Through December

By FELIX [email protected]

JOLIET – Faces of militaryveterans adorn the Hall of Hon-or at Stone City VFW Post 2199in Joliet.

Anybody who visits can seethe photos of veterans of pastconflicts – some who’ve diedand some who are still alive –and remember the sacrificesthey made. The Hall of Honoris not only meant to recognizeveterans, but to start a discus-sion about military life.

It’s always great to see peo-ple come in and say thanks toveterans after seeing the pho-tos, said Joseph Barello, VFWPost 2199 commander and aU.S. Army veteran of WorldWar II.

“People are more patriot-ic than they have been in thepast,” Barello said. “Everyonewho has served in the servicehas a common bond inside ofthem. You can talk to anotherserviceman and he can be astranger, but you have a com-mon bond with them.”

The Hall of Honor will be ondisplay through December. Thepictures show military veter-ans and the branch they servedin. Most of the photos featureWorld War I, World War IIand Korean War veterans. ButVFW Post 2199 staff would liketo see more Vietnam, Iraq andAfghanistan veterans.

“The guys there now areslowly dying, and it’d be niceif we could get the young guysin there,” said Mary Lou Char-

trand, American Legion Auxil-iary member.

But Barello said it will morethan likely happen once return-

ing soldiers get “wrinkles outof the stomach.” That meansraising children, buying ahome and working a job. They

won’t have time for joining theVFW until then, he said.

“I went through the samething and most of the guys did,”he said.

Chartrand said the Hall ofHonor inspires people to talkabout the military. Barello saidpeople will come in and recog-nize people, especially amongmany of the photos showingveterans who have long sincedied.

New officer from longline of Joliet police

By BRIAN [email protected]

JOLIET – Stephen Boejoined the family businessMonday.

The 32-year-old doesn’t justcome from a long line of cops,but officers of the Joliet policedepartment. His great-grand-father Ervin Boe was chieffrom 1948 to 1955 and grandfa-ther Donald served from 1947to 1971, retiring as a captain.

“As long I can remember,he’s wanted to be a police offi-cer and because of his [ances-tors] it’s been Joliet,” recalledStephen’s mother, Dana.

Stephen Boe was a Jolietpolice Explorer cadet as a teen.He is now the 261st active offi-cer on the state’s fourth-largestmunicipal police department.

“As an accredited policeagency we are held to thehighest standard. You will beconstantly tested, officer Boe.I wish you the utmost luck,”Chief Brian Benton said af-ter Boe was sworn in by CityClerk Christa Desiderio.

Lockport Police Chief Ter-ry Lemming and WilmingtonDetective Matt Kiebels also at-tended Monday’s swearing-into offer Boe congratulations.Boe comes to Joliet after twoyears with the Lockport police.He started in law enforcementas a Kendall County Sheriff’sdeputy for two years and spentsix years as a Wilmington po-lice officer.

“For the last two years, thehiring list we’ve worked fromis current law enforcement of-ficers on other departments,”Benton said. “There’s the same12 weeks of field training, but

it is a much easier transitionwith that experience.”

“This has been a goal ofmine since I was a little kid,”Boe said. “I was born here. Iwas raised here. If I’m out ofstate and people ask where I’mfrom, I don’t say ‘Chicago.’ Isay ‘Joliet.’ ”

Boe acknowledged offer-ing that information when hetravels usually prompts a com-ment about a prison or “TheBlues Brothers.”

After receiving his badge,Boe and some family memberswent to a hallway in the cen-ter of the police station, wherephotos of former chiefs are dis-played, including Ervin Boe’s.

Ervin Boe joined the Jo-liet Police Department in 1921and led “The Sponge Squad”to raid illegal booze opera-tions and saloons during Pro-hibition. According to TheHerald-News archives, ErvinBoe also led the assault to re-capture the county jail afterit was taken over by armedinmates and shot out the tireof some robbers’ car during awild chase.

One of the first things Boedid upon becoming chief wasto review the files of all majorunsolved cases. When he readabout a 1946 murder where abody was found in a large canof lard at a Chicago Streetbutcher shop, he developed atheory about what happened.

Boe ordered his detectivesto track down the suspect, whowas living in Chicago under afalse name. When Boe told theman “exactly” what happened,he confessed.

Ervin Boe died in 1973. Don-ald Boe died in 1972.

Enterprise zones pitchedfor easternWill County

By LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

JOLIET – The Will CountyBoard has signed off on thecreation of two new enterprisezones in eastern Will Countyto help spur economic devel-opment and provide job oppor-tunities in the area.

Enterprise zones are areasdesignated by governmentalbodies that provide incentives– such as fee waivers and taxabatements – to motivate busi-nesses to move there.

The South Suburban May-ors and Managers Associationis handling plans to submittwo applications ahead of thestate’s Dec. 31 deadline. Halfof the state’s 97 existing en-terprise zones in Illinois areset to expire at the end of 2015,and the first 45 zones selectedby the state will become effec-tive in 2016.

It’s a great opportunity forunderdeveloped areas withhigh unemployment and lowproperty value, said Ed Pae-sel, executive director of SS-MMA.

“We’re constantly trying toprovide the best business cli-mate for businesses to remainand expand and to locate with-in these communities,” Paeselsaid. “It’s another incentive totry to compete with northwestIndiana.”

One proposed zone encom-

passes communities in bothWill and Cook counties alongIllinois Route 394, includ-ing Crete, Beecher, ChicagoHeights and Steger. A secondproposal is located along theI-57 corridor and includesMatteson, Monee, Park For-est, Richton Park and Univer-sity Park.

The County Board voted infavor of the enterprise zoneslast month, but County BoardMember Don Gould ques-tioned the inclusion of areasof Cook County, He suggestedWill County create its ownzone without Cook County.

But Paesel said state law re-quires certain criteria be met,including thresholds on un-employment rates and proper-ty tax values.

Some communities in Willwouldn’t meet those thresh-olds without Cook.

To qualify for incentives,businesses must create atleast 200 full-time jobs and in-vest at least $5 million in qual-

ified property.Eligible businesses that

locate in enterprise zones re-ceive sales tax exemptions of6.25 percent on building mate-rials, a utility tax exemptionon gas and electricity, and astate investment tax credit of0.5 percent for taxpayers whoinvest in equipment, buildingsand machinery, according tothe County Board memo.

There are two enterprisezones in Will County, JohnGreuling, president and CEOfor the Will County Center forEconomic Development, said.He noted the creation of suchzones – and the developmentthat follows – are proof theywork.

The Joliet Arsenal Enter-prise Zone was created in2002 to foster development inand around the former JolietArmy Ammunition Plant. It’snow comprised of CenterPointProperties’ two intermodalsin Joliet and Elwood, Exxonand the RidgePort LogisticsCenter in Wilmington.

The zone includes landnorth of Arsenal Road, eastof the railroad tracks, southof Laraway Road and west ofRoute 53.

A second zone – the DesPlaines River Valley Enter-prise Zone – is within the OldIndustrial Corridor along Ro-meoville, Lockport, Rockdaleand Joliet, he said.

QUICK NEWSGrant awarded to ForestPark Community CenterNEW LENOX – The Silver Cross

Healthy Community Commissionrecently awarded an $18,600grant to the Forest Park Commu-nity Center in Joliet to help fundits Quality of Life programs.The grant will help the FPCC

Last week for yard wastepickup is this weekJOLIET – The city of Joliet and

Waste Management want to

remind all residents the last dayfor yard waste pickup will beFriday.Yard waste collection will

resume March 30.For those who will have a real

Christmas tree, set it out afterChristmas at your normal pick-up location (curb or alley) onyour regular trash day for pickup. If it is 5 feet in length or less,set it out in one piece, but, if itmeasures more than 5 feet cutit in half.The Christmas trees will be

OBITUARIES• Continued from page 11 Chicago is set to raise

minimumwage to $13By SARA BURNETTThe Associated Press

CHICAGO – Chicago is setto become the latest U.S. cityto raise its minimum wage,as Mayor Rahm Emanuelfast-tracks a politically popu-lar plan to reach $13 an houramid his bid for a secondterm and criticism that heis out-of-touch with workingpeople.

A Chicago City Councilcommittee voted late Mon-day to advance the plan,which is expected to get fullcouncil approval Tuesday.

The mayor moved themeeting up from Dec. 10 fol-lowing concerns that the Il-linois Legislature would bowto business groups and passa measure this week thatwould prevent cities from set-ting their wage higher thanthe state. Chicago currentlyhas the same minimum wageas the state, at $8.25 per hour.The General Assembly isconsidering raising Illinois’wage to $11 by 2017.

E m a n u e l , t h e h a r d -c h a r g i n g f o r m e r W h i t eHouse chief of staff, is facinga challenge from progressivecandidates who say he hasbeen too cozy with businessinterests and hasn’t spent asmuch time looking out forpeople struggling to makeends meet in the nation’sthird-largest city. His toprivals in the February elec-tion, Cook County Commis-sioner Jesus “Chuy” Garciaand Alderman Bob Fioretti,favor a $15 wage.

Chicago is the latest cityto bypass a state legislatureand seek action on the issue.Earlier this year, Seattle of-ficials voted to phase in a$15-per-hour wage.

Portland, Maine and Lou-isville are considering in-creases.

Business groups and someRepublicans argue that rais-ing the minimum wage willlead to job losses. Leadersof several groups, includingthe Chicagoland Chamber ofCommerce, say setting Chi-cago’s wage higher than the

rest of the state will put citybusinesses at a disadvan-tage, particularly in areasthat border suburbs wherethe wage would be lower.

They support a statewideincrease to $10 to $11 perhour.

“Chicago is not an island,and we’ve got to quit pretend-ing that we are,” said RobKarr, president and CEO ofthe Illinois Retail MerchantsAssociation.

But the measures remainpopular with voters. Oaklandand San Francisco voterssupported increases on Nov.4, as did voters in all fourstates that had binding ballotmeasures: Alaska, Arkansas,South Dakota and Nebraska.

Emanuel settled on $13 anhour after a recommendationfrom a task force he createdearlier this year, when therewas still a chance a strongerprogressive candidate would

take him on.He said he wanted to wait

until after a Nov. 4 refer-endum on whether Illinoisshould raise its wage to $10, ameasure widely considered aDemocratic Party attempt tospur turnout during a tightgubernatorial election. InChicago, roughly 87.8 per-cent of voters said yes.

M e a n w h i l e , E m a n u e lfollowed President BarackObama’s example and signedan executive order in Sep-tember that requires citycontractors to pay workers$13 an hour.

“Throughout my life Ihave believed that if youwork no child should beraised in poverty,” Emanuelsaid then. “Work should pay.People need a pay raise.”

Chicago’s measure wouldincrease the wage to $10 nextyear, then incrementally to$13 by 2019.

NTSB points to batterydefect in Boeing 787 fireWASHINGTON – A short circuit

likely due to a manufacturingdefect in a Boeing 787 airlinerbattery caused a fire last yearthat grounded the planes forthree-plus months, federal acci-dent investigators said Monday.They also faulted the plane’s

maker and the Federal AviationAdministration for designing andapproving a battery that didn’tprotect against such a failure.An inspection of the GS Yuasa

manufacturing plant in Japanwhere the battery was madefound that flaws and debris inlithium-ion aircraft batterieswere going undetected, accord-ing to the National Transporta-tion Safety Board report.In testing the battery’s design,

Boeing failed to anticipate ashort circuit in one of its eightcells might lead to uncontrolledoverheating known as thermalrunaway, which would spread tothe other cells and cause themto vent smoke-like vapors andcatch fire, the report said.

Cyber Monday shoppersgive retailers sales bumpNEW YORK – Cyber Monday is

their online deals into “Cyber

Week” and even “Cyber Month,”early reports indicated shop-ping was less robust online onMonday compared with prioryears. As of 5 p.m. CST, onlinesales rose just 8.1 percent com-pared with last year, accordingto IBM Digital Analytics. Thefigures don’t take into accountthe many shoppers who plan tohead online after work or in theevening.

Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work (left) and former deputy defense secretary Ashton Carter (right)reportedly are on President Barack Obama’s short list for defense secretary to replace Chuck Hagel, whoresigned last week under pressure from the White House.

Obama faces shrinking poolof Pentagon job contenders

By JULIE PACEThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Wanted:Thick-skinned candidate tooversee a sprawling bureau-cracy bitten by budget cutsand join a national securityteam besieged by criticism.Must be tolerant of WhiteHouse interference.

The job conditions for Pres-ident Barack Obama’s nextdefense secretary alreadyhave spurred some top con-tenders to bow out, leavingthe White House with a slimlist of candidates to fill thepost for the administration’sfinal two years. On Monday,Homeland Security SecretaryJeh Johnson became the lat-est to tell the White House hewasn’t interested in the job,according to people familiarwith the process.

Johnson’s decision to stayput at DHS is likely to deep-en the impression that thePentagon post – typically ahighly sought-after Cabinetspot – is drawing little inter-est. The president’s short listof contenders now includeslongtime public servants whohave deep Pentagon experi-ence but may be less likely togive Obama’s national securi-ty agenda the jolt that critics

– and increasingly some sup-porters – say is needed.

Top contenders includeAshton Carter, the formerdeputy defense secretary wholeft the administration in late2013; and Robert Work, whoholds the Pentagon’s No. 2 job.

That’s a far shorter listthan some in the White Househad hoped when Defense Sec-retary Chuck Hagel resignedlast week under pressurefrom Obama. Michele Flour-noy, one of Obama’s top choic-es, quickly took her name outof contention, in part becauseof concerns over the tight reinthe White House has tried tokeep on the Defense Depart-ment. Sen. Jack Reed, a RhodeIsland Democrat and WestPoint graduate, also made itclear quickly he wasn’t inter-ested.

Defense analyst AnthonyCordesman said as Obama ap-proaches the end of his presi-dency, the Cabinet post is “notparticularly desirable” foranyone with broader politicalambitions.

“It’s very unlikely you willget political visibility or cred-it for being the secretary,”said Cordesman, who worksat the Center for Strategic andInternational Studies. “Thereare just too many problems

and uncertainties.”Among them: questions

about the effectiveness ofObama’s military campaignagainst the Islamic Statein Iraq and Syria, Russia’scontinued provocations inUkraine, tensions betweenthe White House and DefenseDepartment over closing theGuantanamo Bay detentioncenter, and concerns at thePentagon with the impact ofdeep spending cuts.

Hanging over all of thosepolicy concerns is the uneasyrelationship between theWhite House and the Pentagonthroughout Obama’s six yearsin office. His first two defensesecretaries, Robert Gates andLeon Panetta, have been bit-ingly critical about WhiteHouse efforts to micromanagethe Pentagon. And Hagel issaid to have grown frustratedby the White House’s drawn-out policymaking process andlack of clarity in the presi-dent’s eventual decisions.

Lawrence Korb, a formerassistant defense secretary,said with just two years left inObama’s presidency, the nextPentagon chief will be ham-strung in efforts to shape boththe administration’s policiesand the department’s relation-ship with the White House.

Obama says he doesn’t wanta ‘militarized’ police culture

By NEDRA PICKLERThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON – PresidentBarack Obama said Mondayhe wants to ensure the U.S.isn’t building a “militarizedculture” within police depart-ments, while maintaining fed-eral programs that provide thetype of military-style equip-ment that were used to dispelracially charged protests inFerguson, Missouri.

Instead, the president isasking Congress for fundingto buy 50,000 body cameras torecord events like the shootingdeath of an unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown and lookfor ways to build trust andconfidence between policeand minority communitiesnationwide. He announcedthe creation of a task force tostudy success stories and rec-ommend ways the governmentcan support accountability,transparency and trust in po-lice.

With protests ongoing inFerguson and across the coun-try, Obama spoke to reportersat the end of a White Housemeeting with police, civilrights activists and local lead-

ers and acknowledged the par-ticipants told him that therehave been task forces in thepast and “nothing happens.”

“Part of the reason this timewill be different is because thepresident of the United Statesis deeply invested in makingsure that this time is differ-ent,” Obama said. He said hewas upset to hear the youngpeople in the meeting describetheir experiences with po-lice. “It violates my belief inwhat America can be to hearyoung people feeling margin-alized and distrustful evenafter they’ve done everythingright.”

At least for now, Obama isstaying away from Fergusonin the wake of the uproar overa grand jury’s decision lastweek not to charge DarrenWilson, the police officer whofatally shot Brown. The U.S.Justice Department is inves-tigating possible civil rightsviolations that could resultin federal charges, but inves-tigators would need to satisfya rigorous standard of proof.Justice also has launched abroad investigation into theFerguson Police Department.

Obama is proposing a

three-year, $263 million spend-ing package to increase use ofbody-worn cameras, expandtraining for law enforcementand add more resources forpolice department reform. Thepackage includes $75 million tohelp pay for 50,000 of the small,lapel-mounted cameras to re-cord police on the job, withstate and local governmentspaying half the cost. Estimatesvary about the precise numberof full-time, sworn law enforce-ment officers in communitiesacross the U.S., though somefederal government reports inrecent years have placed thefigure at roughly 700,000.

Brown’s family wants tosee every police officer work-ing the streets wearing a bodycamera. The Rev. Al Sharptontold reporters afterward hewould convey to Brown’s par-ents what had occurred in themeeting and expressed confi-dence it would bring changebecause Obama put his “fullweight behind it.”

“What happens after themeeting will determine wheth-er we just had a feel-good ses-sion or whether we’re movingtoward change,” Sharptonsaid.

Supreme Court hearsFacebook threats case

By SAM HANANELThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Fromthe violent lyrics of rap mu-sic to the crude comments ofteenagers in video-game chatrooms, the Supreme Courtstruggled Monday over whereto draw the line between freespeech and illegal threats inthe digital age.

The justices consideredthe case of a Pennsylvaniaman convicted of posting vio-lent threats on Facebook – inthe form of rap lyrics – aboutkilling his estranged wife,shooting up a school andslitting the throat of an FBIagent.

Lawyers for AnthonyElonis say he didn’t meanto threaten anyone. Theycontend his posts under thepseudonym “Tone Dougie”were simply a way for himto vent his frustration oversplitting up with his wife.

The government arguesthe proper test is not whatElonis intended, but wheth-er his words would make areasonable person feel threat-ened.

That’s the standard a juryused in convicting him under

a federal law barring threatsof violence.

Some justices seemed con-cerned that the government’sposition is too broad and riskssweeping in language protect-ed by the First Amendment.But there seemed to be littleagreement over what stan-dard to use.

“How does one provewhat’s in somebody else’smind?” asked Justice RuthBader Ginsburg, who was onthe bench five days after shehad a stent implanted to cleara blocked artery.

Elonis attorney John El-wood said the speaker’s in-tent could be determined bysearching computer records,cell phone records and otherevidence of context. He saidmany speakers being prose-cuted “are teenagers who areessentially shooting off theirmouths and making sort ofill-timed, sarcastic commentswhich wind up getting themthrown in jail.”

As a recent example, hecited a teenager prosecutedfor making sarcastic com-ments in a video-game chatroom about shooting up a kin-dergarten after another teencalled him crazy.

Climate change impactsheat up UN talks in Lima

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

LIMA, Peru – With thisyear on track to become thewarmest on record, morethan 190 nations began talksMonday on new limits for thegreenhouse gases that are al-ready changing global climatepatterns and making life moredifficult around the world.

New targets for fossil fueluse were announced ahead ofthe climate conference by theU.S., the European Union andChina, the first Asian nationto make such a pledge. Thishas injected optimism into ne-gotiations that are supposed toclimax in Paris next year withthe adoption of a long-awaitedclimate pact.

But India, Russia, Japanand Australia have yet to

commit to new limits; andscientists say much sharperemissions cuts are needed incoming decades to keep globalwarming within 2 degrees C(3.6 F) of pre-industrial times,the overall goal of the U.N.talks. Global temperatureshave already risen about 0.8degrees C (1.3 F), and moreheat-trapping gases are emit-ted every year.

Every degree of warmingcan cause long-lasting im-pacts, from melting ice capsand rising sea levels to theloss of species.

“Human influence onthe climate system is clear,”Rajendra Pachauri, wholeads the U.N.’s panel of cli-mate-change experts, told del-egates at the opening sessionin Lima.

Thanksgiving has beendubbed “Giving Tuesday,”a designated day of givingto charity. The UnitedNations Foundation isgiven credit as one of theoriginators of Giving Tues-day, which first was heldin 2012 and was created asa global day of giving back.

In Illinois, DonorsForum is coordinating thisinitiative, and it has a boldgoal: $12 million raised byIllinois nonprofits from100,000 individual donors –in one day.

More than 600 non-profits in the state havesigned up with DonorsForum to take part inGiving Tuesday. You canvisit its website, https://donorsforum.org, to finda charity you would liketo donate to.

Of course, it doesn’thave to be on that list inorder to donate. Maybethere is a local nonprofitthat has provided a servicethat benefited you, andyou’re now in a position togive back. Or maybe youwant to start a new tradi-tion of giving to those inneed each holiday season.Giving Tuesday can be theday you annually bestowthat gift.

Nonprofits providemuch-needed services inour communities. Fromprograms for children to

providing food and shelterto helping veterans – andeverything in between– nonprofits are there tohelp some of our mostvulnerable neighbors.

Most nonprofits havebeen hit hard by thestate’s financial woes:They usually wait monthsfor money owed to themby Illinois, and often arelucky if it comes at all. Atthe same time, the needsof our neighbors increase,putting even more strainon our nonprofits.

The holidays shouldnot be just about getting,but about giving as well.This is a gift you don’teven need to wrap andtop with a bow. You don’tneed to give a lot to make adifference.

It just needs to comefrom the heart.

Senate Bill 16 is notschool funding answer

The election season is over –for now – but there are still a fewmajor political issues floatingout there that could significantlyimpact District 202.

The first and most pressing isSenate Bill 16.

Senate Bill 16 was proposedand passed in the state Senate inMay. It aims to make state educa-tion funding more equitable.

In a nutshell, it would takeeducation funds from districtsthat have more local propertywealth and redistribute thosefunds to other districts that lacklocal property wealth and there-fore have to rely more on statefunding.

That certainly will help somedistricts that very much needthe extra money. We are happyfor our neighbors and the otherdistricts statewide that will getmuch-needed additional fund-ing. We certainly understand,since District 202 lost millions ofdollars of state funding in recentyears as Illinois has struggledwith its own financial problems.

However, while Senate Bill 16might solve one problem, it doesnot address, much less fix themuch bigger problem – that is,how the State of Illinois funds itspublic schools.

Senate Bill 16 is, like mostlegislation, very complicated.Essentially, though, the mostimportant thing to know is SenateBill 16 does not in any way createnew education revenue. It simplytakes existing funds and reallo-cates them differently.

Under Senate Bill 16, District202 would lose $1.4 million ayear. Other neighboring districtswould lose millions more. Tobe fair, other of our area schooldistricts would gain millions ofdollars each year in state funding.

Not only would we lose moremoney, the state would continueto fund schools on a “prorated”basis.

So instead of giving schools100 percent of what they are due,by law, the state gives us only aportion of what it owes us. Forexample, this year, the state isgiving local school districts only89 percent of what it should beproviding. For District 202, that 11percent equals about $11 millionof lost revenue this year alone.

Keep in mind that during theheart of the recession – after 10years of unprecedented growth– District 202 saved about $42 mil-lion by tightening our belts; elimi-nating about 345 full-time teacher,support and administrative po-sitions; reducing programs; andlowering operational costs.

All the while, the state contin-ued to cut our funding.

Our local legislators haveassured us that the House of Rep-resentatives probably will not callSenate Bill 16 for discussion inits current form. Still, we need tokeep an eye on it – not to mentionother legislation, such as pensionreform, that further will decreaseour state revenue.

Senate Bill 16 is yet anoth-er “Band-Aid” response to thecritical issue of state educationfunding that only will hurt our28,000 students and 3,100 staffmembers.

Please contact your local leg-islator or the Illinois State Boardof Education ([email protected])with your feedback about howSenate Bill 16 does not meet thefive key principles for educationfunding: adequacy, simplicity,transparency, equity, and thatfunding Is to be outcome-focused.

Illinois needs a real solutionto the problem of appropriateeducation funding. Senate Bill 16is not the answer.

19CELEBRATING THE CHAMPIONSHIP

Providence hopes 10th title starts new traditionBy CURT HERRON

[email protected]

NEW LENOX – A familiarscene that hadn’t been wit-nessed at Providence Catholicin a decade was again on dis-play on Monday afternoon.

The Celtics got the oppor-tunity to show off their 10thfootball state championshiptrophy before the school’s stu-dents, plus family and friends.

While “The Quest for X” be-came a reality Saturday at Me-morial Stadium in Champaign– when the Celtics beat Cary-Grove, 31-28, for the Class 7Atitle – the significance of thehistoric event took on differentmeanings to seniors who facedthe difficult task of beating theTrojans.

Although all were happy tohelp the school claim its firsttitle in the sport since 2004,many had no ties to the pastother than through their coach-es and viewed the champion-ship instead as a great exampleof what can happen if a teamsticks together under the guid-ance of a fine coaching staff.

“They run a great offense,and they’re so proficient anddominate teams with it; so weknew that if we were going towin this game, then we had toget a couple of stops, at least,”defensive lineman Jake Rostsaid. “Even though we weredown at half, it was only byfour points and they hadscored just 14, so we switchedup defenses and it worked.

“We were 4-4 our freshmanyear, and nobody thought thatwe were going to do anything– and that was the biggest ob-stacle that we faced. We justfigured that if stuck with itand did what the coaches said,that we would eventually be-come champions. I liked howthe players on this team areso humble. And the other bigthing was buying into thesecoaches.”

Cary-Grove was averaging44 points a game and had beenheld below 35 points just oncewhile rattling off 13 straightwins. But facing arguablytheir stiffest challenge of theseason, the Celtics were ableto hold the Trojans to 16 pointsbelow their season average.

“They were kind of a mixbetween JCA and Mount Car-

mel – and give credit to theiroffensive line, since they werevery good,” linebacker EmmetTrost said. “But they’re notused to playing from behind;and our offense just couldn’tstop scoring, and that madeour job easier.

“We love our tradition – buthonestly, this state champi-onship was about us since wewanted to win it for each oth-er. I liked our team’s unity andhow we all played together.Everyone knew that they weregoing to do their job and therewere no individuals, and it allpaid off.”

A glance at the drive chartsshows Cary-Grove fumblingon its first series of the gameand being forced to punt on itsinitial series of the final half.That was enough to swing thebalance to the Celtics, whotook a 17-14 lead in the thirdquarter and never trailedagain.

“They had a great offensiveline, and (Tyler) Penningtonis a great running back and is

only a sophomore,” defensiveback Erik Carroll said. “Hewas hard to bring down andran with a lot of force. Theyhad a really good offense, andwe knew they’d put up points.

“We had faith the wholetime and knew that we coulddo it; but once we got that stop,we got our confidence back.This is so awesome to a partof this team since we’re like ahuge brotherhood. We’re just agreat group of friends, and wehang out with each other allof the time. We knew what wehad to do, and we wanted to getthis championship so badly.”

Other than allowing somelate points in the semifinalwin over Mount Carmel when

things were well in hand, theCeltics had held their oth-er three playoff opponents toeight points or less. But thechampionship game proved tobe a different matter.

“Sure, we’ve had somegames where we pretty muchshut out teams, but this teamreally tested us because theykept driving on us. So we justhad to push ourselves andkeep our heads up againstthem,” defensive lineman LuisVasquez said.

“We started off going 4-4 inour freshman year, so we wentfrom barely having a win-ning season to becoming statechamps. We didn’t have big sizeon defense, but we all worked as

a team and used our speed andquickness to our advantage. Wewere like a family.”

Coach Mark Coglianesetalked to the crowd at the cele-bration about how this specialgroup was able to work as oneto become champions. Thosewho will be leaving the pro-gram hope they’ve laid a foun-dation for more of the same inthe near future.

“They were really good, andthat O-line was definitely thebest that I’ve seen,” defensiveback Jack Pell said. “We knewthat we had to get an early stopand then that we had to get onemore stop in the second halfsince our offense would putsome points on the board.

“For the way that thingswere going for Providenceback in those days, 10 years isa pretty long time. I was reallyglad that we were able to winone for coach Cogs. With allof the tradition that we have,I think that we finally havesome new tradition going withthis team.”

20 CHILDHOOD DREAM COMES TRUE

Southall fully appreciates Wilmington title winBy CURT HERRON

[email protected]

CHAMPAIGN – MasonSouthall has grown up watch-ing Wilmington football, so itwas only appropriate he playedsuch a big role in last Friday’shistoric win for his program.

Besides directing the offenseand completing 7 of 9 passes for67 yards, the senior also inter-cepted a pass at Wilmington’s7-yard line to help the Wildcatscapture a 20-17 victory overWilliamsville in the Class 3Achampionship at MemorialStadium.

Eleven years after a squadfeaturing players such as TonyVercelli, Tanner Roark, JonNiehls, Shane Longest, MikeFlores and Brett Farmer suf-fered its first loss of the seasonto Stillman Valley in the Class3A final, coach Jeff Reents’program finally secured thebig trophy to put the finishingtouches on a 14-0 season.

Mason’s dad, Barry, is theoffensive coordinator who notonly was on hand for the titlegame loss but also has beenwith Reents throughout his 21years as Wildcat head coach.

“It hasn’t really set in yet,but it feels great,” Mason South-all said. “I remember being inthe stands in 2003. My dad hasthe 2003 poster, and it’s sittingon his work bench outside inthe garage. Every day beforehe goes to work, he looks at itand remembers. When we werelittle, we always goofed aroundand said that he was going towin a state championship – andfinally he got it.

“I don’t know what to say –it’s amazing. I feel so happy forall of the coaches. It’s been 21years that coach Reents, coach(Rob) Murphy, coach (Bob)Bolser and my dad have beencoaching together, and that’s along time.”

To make history, the Wild-cats had to deny the unbeat-en Bullets of capturing theirschool’s first state title in anyboys sport. That turned out tobe much easier said than done,considering only one team hadlost to Williamsville by fewerthan 20 points this year.

Southall – who shares cap-tain duties with Alex Zlomie,Joe Mann and Kyal Davis – was

especially pleased with how theWildcats had to play as team topull off the victory.

Those efforts included a61-yard scoring run by NickMcWilliams, Zlomie’s 91-yardkickoff return for a touchdown,two field goals from JordanSarr and seven-tackle effortsfrom Gavin Hawks and MasonDel Angel.

“Williamsville was a greatteam, and they’re very fast andvery physical, and they hadsome great players,” MasonSouthall said. “This probablywas the closest game besidesSt. Joseph-Ogden that I’ve ever

been in, so it was a great game.“When it was over, I wasn’t

thinking – I was running aroundand screaming. I just ran up to

one of my players and tackledhim. I couldn’t believe it.”

Southall finished the seasonthrowing for 1,072 yards and 12

touchdowns while rushing for269 yards and six touchdowns.But more importantly, he di-rected an offense that averaged34.8 points a game and scored39 or more points in half oftheir contests.

While the young Southallshowed early signs he wantedto contribute some strategy,there was an understandablereluctance from the veterancoaching staff.

“He’s been with us since hewas our water boy when hewas 5 years old, and he’s alsobeen a suggestion person,” Re-ents said. “He’d say, ‘Maybeyou should run this or maybeyou should run that.’ And I’dsay, ‘Mason, maybe you needto shut up.’

“Let’s put it this way – whenhe would come off of the fieldhis freshman and sophomoreyear and say something, itwould be like, ‘OK, Mas.’ Butwhen he came off the field laterlast year and this year, I totallytrusted what he had to say.”

22 2ND ANNUAL BLACK FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS ALUMNI FOOTBALL GAME: MORRIS 26, MINOOKA 12

Redskins, Indians alumni pad up to raise fundsBy RYAN WOODEN

Shaw Media Correspondent

MINOOKA – In an agewhere it’s commonplace toweigh the consequences offootball against its benefits,it can be hard to justify strap-ping on the chinstrap and put-ting your body at risk withoutcause. Yet, on Friday night onan iced over field at MinookaCommunity High School, agroup of Morris and Minookaalumni threw caution to thewind.

It was the second annualalumni game between thesetwo schools with proceedsgoing to Minooka’s AthleticBoosters, and after last year’sgame ended in a tie at 6, Morriswould emerge with a 26-12 vic-tory Friday night. However, itwas the cause that shined for asurprisingly raucous Minookacrowd.

“These are the same bleach-ers and this is the same fieldthat I played on,” Class of 1996Minooka graduate and footballchairman Neil Craig said af-ter Morris’ win. “When I washere, Minooka was a Class 4Aschool, and now, it’s an Class8A school, so these facilitiesneed updating pretty bad andthat’s what makes it all worth-while.”

As the football chairmanof the alumni game, Craig putcountless hours into organiz-ing the affair, which was agrind.

“When I started it and Isaw all the paperwork thatwas going to have to be doneand all the hoops I was goingto have to jump through, I al-most stopped. Then I had twogirls [Karianne Craig andMarsha Williams] step up, andthey said, ‘We’ll do all that.’So I said all right, and withoutthem, there would have beenno way I could have done it.

“I spend 40 hours a weekjust trying to set up the fieldand then get the plays and thepad stuff going, while they gotall the school and legal stuff go-ing. There’s just so much thatgoes into this.”

As far as safety goes, ev-ery participant is required tosign a waiver that relinquish-es Minooka Community HighSchool’s liability, as well as thefact that the rules are augment-

ed to slow down the pace ofplay. There are no kickoffs orpunts, and timeouts are addedwhile quarters are shortened.

While the field is shortenedto 80 yards and hits below thewaist and to the head are il-

legal, the game is still plentyphysical. However, the riskstill isn’t lost on the game’sparticipants.

“Before the game, youcan definitely feel it in yourstomach. It’s like, ‘Am I real-

ly gonna come out here on asnow-covered field and bangheads all day?’ ” Class of 2002Morris graduate, former Chi-cago Cubs pitcher and recentfather Billy Petrick said. “Buteverybody seems to under-

stand out there that we have abit more on the line now, andthe idea isn’t for us to come outhere and just kill each other.”

Petrick and former Fight-ing Illini fullback-turned-St.Louis Rams/Green Bay Pack-ers practice squad player RussWeil were a couple of the morerecognizable names on Mor-ris and Minooka’s roster. Pet-rick, a former lineman for theRedskins, played wide receiv-er and caught the go-ahead 57-yard touchdown for Morris.

Morris and Minooka run-ning backs Joe Lazier and Na-than Carroll each ran for a pairof touchdowns for their respec-tive teams.

Morris Community HighSchool has not expressed in-terest in hosting the game,although Petrick hopes thesuccess of the game will even-tually change that.

“Hopefully next year, wecan talk to whoever we need totalk to so that we can get outthere. I think it’d be a greatthing for the school and thecommunity,” he said.

a meeting with the Cowboysranked 26th in rushing, aver-aging 4.0 yards a carry. Onlythree teams in the leaguehave attempted fewer runsthan the Bears’ 277 (23.1 agame).

In Jason Garrett’s firstthree full seasons in con-trol in Dallas, his offensesranked 24th, 31st and 31st inrushing attempts. But, in astunning transformation in2014, the Cowboys visit Sol-dier Field with an 8-4 recordand the NFL’s No. 2 groundattack led by runaway rush-ing champion DeMarco Mur-ray, whose 288 attempts is 46more than the league’s sec-ond busiest runner.

Trestman was asked forhis impression of Dallas’ seachange. “It’s had a big effecton Tony Romo,” said Trest-man. “ … It’s helped their[play]-action. He’s got a 100-plus rating, which is excel-lent. He’s throwing the ballless, which is helping thisfootball team. I think that’sjust the direction they decid-ed to go, and it’s worked out.They’ve got more balance in

their attack.”The Cowboys’ revised

approach protects not onlyRomo but their middling“D,” which permits nearly atouchdown less a game thanthe Bears.

Jay Cutler said all quar-terbacks love slinging thefootball around, but even heknows the Bears’ unwilling-ness to run is a losing formu-la.

“You want to throw theball. You want to throwtouchdowns. You want tothrow for big yards,” Cutlerexplained. “But you definite-ly want to win football gamesand I think anyone who hasbeen doing this for a whilerealizes that you’ve got tohave the best of both worlds.… There’s no one out therewho can drop back 40-50times consistently and winfootball games.”

Yet in two of Cutler’s pastthree games, he’s droppedback at least 43 times.

The Cowboys are comingoff their own Thanksgiv-ing embarrassment, whenDallas surrendered a sea-son-high 256 rushing yardsin a 33-10 defeat to Phila-delphia. It would appear tobe a prime opportunity for

the Bears to unleash theirbest offensive weapon, MattForte, who tied a career-lowwith five carries Thursday.

Taking the podium shortlyafter Bears offensive coordi-nator Aaron Kromer predict-ed his offense wouldn’t againabandon the run if it falls be-hind by 10 points in the sec-ond half, Trestman indicatedhe’s doing everything possi-ble to correct the problem.

“I don’t think it has beenthe way we wanted it to be,but we’re still pushing forthat. We’re making every at-tempt to do that. This weekgives us another opportuni-ty to try to put it all togeth-er, and that’s what we’refocused on with this Dallasteam.”

Kyle Long was more suc-cinct when asked if there isan eagerness to rediscoverthe ground game after lastweek.

“No question,” Long said.In front of a national au-

dience and an increasinglyimpatient Bears fanbase,the Cowboys’ new approachwould only magnify thegrowing frustration sur-rounding the Bears if the rungame again fails to appearThursday night.

MORRIS – Blood dona-tions are always needed –especially during the holidayseason, when people inter-rupt their regular routinesand are less likely to donate.

Morris Hospital hematolo-gist and oncologist Dr. NafisaBurhani would like to seeevery healthy person donate.

“We don’t have a substi-tute for blood,” Burhani said.

Although donating is safe,dangerous reactions canoccur on the receiving end,risks patients and their fami-lies should know about.

One is called transfu-sion-related acute lunginjury, or TRALI, the leadingcause of transfusion-related

deaths. Although TRALI isuncommon, 10 percent withTRALI die, according to theNational Institutes of Healthat www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

Burhani said TRALI casesmay be underreported.

“It’s a clinical judgment,”she said. “Its occurrence maybe as much as one in 5,000transfusions. Among the verysick, the risk may be higher.”

TRALI has been describedonly recently, Burhani said,and physicians are recog-nizing it more. The reactionoccurs within six hours ofreceiving a transfusion –usually in the first hour ortwo – and results in an acutelung injury and pulmonaryedema. Patients experiencelow blood oxygen, blood pres-sure falls, and they go intorespiratory distress.

The exact cause is un-known, although it seemsrelated to an immune sys-tem reaction. The result isan increased pulmonaryvascular permeability,or blood vessels “leak-ing” fluid inside thelungs.

“We think it’san immune injuryinvolving neutro-phils,” Burhanisaid. “It’s veryimportant to iden-tify quickly.”

When symp-toms appear,the transfusionshould be halt-ed, she said,and the pa-tient placed

on supportedbreathing.

Within 24 hours, patientsusually are back to normalwith no long-term conse-quences.

Burhani said she’s seenone case of TRALI, in a youngpatient who otherwise washealthy and with no pulmo-nary problems. Some casesmay be caused by femaledonors who previously werepregnant and have antibodiescirculating in their bloodagainst Rh factor, an antigenon the red blood cells of thosewho are Rh positive.

Those antibodies go withthe blood donation and mayattack the cells of transfu-sion recipients who are Rhpositive. However, Burhanisaid, TRALI also occurs whendonors are male.

According to the U.S. Foodand Drug Administrationat www.fda.gov, in 2012, 37percent of transfusion-relat-

ed fatalities were caused byTRALI. Twenty-seven percentwere hemolytic transfusionreactions; 18 percent weretransfusion-associated cir-culatory overload, or TACO;11 percent were microbialinfection; and 6 percent wereanaphylactic reactions.

A hemolytic transfusionreaction occurs when redblood cells in donated bloodare attacked and destroyed bya recipient’s immune system.This may happen if the bloodcell factors are incompatible.Blood is classified as A, B, ABor O and Rh positive or Rhnegative.

Other factors in the bloodmay cause reactions if thebody recognizes them asforeign.

A hemolytic reaction maydevelop during or right aftera transfusion, or even a daylater. Symptoms include

bloody urine, back pain,chills, fainting or dizziness,fever, flank pain and flushingof the skin. Fluids and med-icines are given to preventkidney failure and shock.

According to the NIH,TACO is a “mechanicalevent” that can be avoided bya slower transfusion. The sitealso said TACO is a “grosslyunder-diagnosed and un-derreported complication ofblood transfusion.”

“It usually is seen in muchsicker patients, maybe withheart issues,” Burhani said.“The patient can be veryshort of breath, and we maysee high blood pressure.... The treatment is verydifferent from TRALI, eventhough the symptoms arevery similar.”

Burhani said TACO re-sults from a fluid overload ina transfusion recipient’s sys-tem. The extra fluid becomestoo much for the heart, andpulmonary edema – or fluidin the lungs – results.

“These are people withweaker hearts,” Burhanisaid of TACO. “There may beunderlying cardiac issues.There is no interaction withthe blood [from the transfu-sion] components. It’s import-ant to differentiate it fromTRALI immediately.”

Infections can be anotherconsequence of transfusions,especially hospital-acquiredinfections. The risk isbetween 12 and 17 percent,according to the NIH.

One way to lessen thechances of a reaction, Bur-hani said, is to bank one’sown blood a week or two be-fore an elective surgery, suchas a knee replacement.

Nevertheless, Burhaniwants people to keep therisks in perspective.

“Blood banking is very,very safe,” Burhani said.“The chances are very small[of a complication]. Nobodyshould be afraid of getting atransfusion.”

Morris hematologist explains risks associated with receiving blood transfusions

Incorrect bloodcomponenttransfused:49 percent

Acutetransfusionreaction:15 percent

Delayedtransfusionreaction:14 percent

Transfusionrelated acutelung injury:8 percent

Transfusiontransmittedinfections:3 percent

Transfusionassociatedcirculatoryoverload:3 percent

Post-transfusionpurprua: 6 percent

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Horatio Nelson, England’s mostfamous admiral who now looks fromhis column in Trafalgar Square downWhitehall toward the Houses of Parlia-ment, said, “Something must be left tochance; nothing is sure in a sea fightbeyond all others.”

Bridge has an element of chance.Sometimes you must hope to find afavorable lie of the cards. However, ifyou can allow for a bad split, do so; younever know when the wind will blowfrom the wrong direction.

In today’s deal, South is in threeno-trump. West leads the spade queen.How should declarer continue?

South has seven top tricks: twospades, three hearts and two clubs. Hecould establish three diamond winners,but he does not have the time to workon that suit. He will lose two diamondsand three spades.

Instead, declarer must hope thathe can take four club tricks. But howshould he play that suit?

If the five missing cards are divid-ing 3-2, as they rate to do, everythingworks. But what if they are 4-1?

There is only one winningposition: East must have a singletoneight or nine. So, South should take thefirst trick with his spade ace and leadthe club 10. If West plays low, declarerruns the 10. If it loses, he needs a 3-2split. Here, though, if West does notcover the 10, South will take the trickand cruise home.

If West does cover, declarer winswith dummy’s king and plays a lowclub back to his hand.

West takes the trick with his eightand returns a spade to dummy’s king,but South plays a heart to his hand,leads a club to dummy’s seven andclaims.

Find the one chanceand go for it

Dear Doctor K: I’m 68years old and have beenon low-dose estrogentherapy since I had ahysterectomy (and startedmenopause) at age 50. Mydoctor won’t prescribeit anymore because hesays it increases my riskof heart problems. Is thattrue?

Dear Reader: The effect ofhormone therapy on theheart is a controversialarea. Hormone therapyusually involves “com-bination therapy,” withboth estrogens (the mainfemale hormones) andprogestins (other import-ant female hormones).Estrogen helps reducesymptoms of menopause,such as hot flashes. Pro-gestin reduces the risk ofcancer of the uterus.

In my opinion, combi-nation therapy or estro-gen therapy alone prob-ably reduces the risk ofheart disease among wom-en entering menopause,and for five to 10 yearsthereafter. But then, about10 years after menopause,combination hormonetherapy begins to increasethe risk of heart disease.So your doctor has reasonto be concerned.

How could it be thathormone therapy protectsagainst heart diseasein younger menopausalwomen, but increases therisk of heart disease inolder menopausal women?Why should age matter? Ithas to do with the effect offemale hormones on bloodvessels.

The most common typeof heart disease is athero-sclerosis of the arteriesthat supply blood to theheart. Atherosclerosiscauses cholesterol-filled“plaques” in the wallsof the arteries. As theseplaques grow, they canblock the flow of bloodthrough the arteries.When blood flow to a partof the heart muscle stops,the muscle dies. That’swhat happens in a heartattack.

Some heart attacks arecaused by plaques thatslowly grow and finallybecome so large that they

shut off the blood supplyto a part of the heart. How-ever, more heart attacksare caused by smallerplaques. These plaquesare not large enough toblock blood flow verymuch.

But each plaque hasa cap of fibers that holdsin the plaque’s pool ofcholesterol. In someplaques, called “vulner-able plaques,” inflam-mation inside the plaqueeats away at the fibrouscap. Suddenly, the fibersrupture, cholesterol spillsinto the artery, a bloodclot forms – and bloodflow to a part of the heartstops.

Estrogen slows thedevelopment of plaques.By the time a womanreaches menopause, herown natural estrogen hashelped protect her againstdeveloping plaques. Theestrogen in hormone ther-apy continues to slow (butnot stop) plaque develop-ment.

By 10 years aftermenopause, however,the average woman hasvulnerable plaques thatthreaten to rupture.

Estrogen increasesinflammation inside theplaques, and it causesblood to clot more easily.So estrogen now increasesthe risk of heart attacks.

Most studies that showan increased risk of heartdisease in women of yourage involved the use ofcombination hormonetherapy. You’re on justestrogen, and a low doseat that.

Still, I think the safestassumption is that you areat a somewhat increasedrisk. You and your doctorhave to balance the riskagainst any benefits youfeel you get from estrogen.

Dear Abby: Since themoment my oldest son,“Ryan,” enlisted in the U.S.Army, our family has beenconcerned he would bedeployed. Although Ryangraduated from high schoolnear the top of his class andhad prepared for university,his plans were thwartedwhen deployment orderscame to face off with ISIS ina combat engineer role. Heleaves soon for the MiddleEast.

Abby, I need your insightin understanding why I amnot falling apart. My otherchildren are, my relativesare, and people I speak to arestunned that I’m holding ittogether. I try to explain thatI support my son and mustbe strong for my family, butam I in denial? Everyoneelse is falling apart whileI, who adore him and can’tenvision a life without him,seem to be holding steady.

What’s going on withme? Am I a flawed mother?I feel like I’m disappointingothers who would prefer tosee a soldier’s mother grieveand agonize over her son’sdeparture, anticipating theworst. Your thoughts aremost welcome. – Baffled inthe South

Dear Baffled: You are not“flawed.” Not everyone han-dles emotionally chargedsituations in the same way.While you may be numbwith shock, you may alsobe calm, stoic and not showyour feelings openly. It’salso possible that you maybe “postponing” any nega-tive emotions until if andwhen it’s necessary to expe-rience them. My reaction isthat no one should judge you– least of all yourself rightnow.

Dear Abby: I’m the fatherof a beautiful, intelligent9-year-old daughter I’ll callStella. About three yearsago, her mother married a

man from an affluent fam-ily and moved three hoursaway. In order to be closer toStella, I moved there as well.

I have been divorced forsix years now, and my rela-tionship with my daughterhas not improved duringthat time. I spend everyThursday afternoon withher and every other week-end. She recently joined abasketball team, and I go toher practices and games.

My biggest concern – andpain – is, whenever Stellais with me she cries for hermother. It hurts, because Ihave tried hard to foster arelationship with my daugh-ter and have been unable to.I took her to Disney Worldand she spent half the timecrying. I ask myself if Iam only hurting her or if Ishould continue to see her.Can you give me some ad-vice? – Disappointed Daddyin Texas

Dear Disappointed Daddy:Have you talked to Stella’smother and asked her what’sgoing on with your daugh-ter? By age 9 she’s a little oldfor separation anxiety. Notknowing everyone involved,my first reaction is to won-der if there has been paren-tal alienation happening.

My second is to suggestthat you enlist the help of alicensed family therapist tofind out why Stella acts thisway every time she’s alonewith you. If the problem isthat she is immature, ridethings out. If it’s somethingmore, then it’s importantyou get to the bottom of it.
