WHERE IT’S AT

A weekly feature by The Herald-News

New LenoxRailroad Depot

New Lenox Townshipwas established when WillCounty was created in1852, with the building ofthe Rock Island Railroadbetween Chicago and RockIsland.

With the railroad as theconduit, New Lenox de-veloped a strong economybased upon agriculturalproduction.

Early businesses, likea grain elevator, wag-on shops, mills, lumbershops and blacksmithshighlight early NewLenox as an agriculturalsettlement.

By the end of the 19thcentury, three railroadscrossed within the vicin-ity of New Lenox: TheChicago, Rock Islandand Pacific Railroad, theWabash Railroad and theElgin, Joliet and EasternRailroad.

Despite the potentialrailroad advantage, thegrowth of the town wasrelatively slow, comparedwith Joliet and neighbor-ing communities.

It was not until the mid-1920s, when the Rock Is-land electric trains beganto run service through thetown, did the communityattract more individualswho used the railroads tocommute to Chicago.

Located just east of Ce-dar Road, the historic thenphotograph shows a viewof the Rock Island Depotlooking east in the early20th century.

The now photographshows a similar view ofthe railroad depot lookingeast today.

It could be a person youpass on the street every day,or a family on your block, anold neighbor or close friend.

Whatever they are in needof, one in four Will Countyresidents annually relies onthe partner agencies of theUnited Way of Will County.

The services they mayneed could be the basic neces-sities, such as food and cloth-ing, to the more dire needs,such as crisis interventionand emergency housing. Aperson could need grief sup-port, or a hot meal from theSenior Services Center or ahomeless shelter operated byDaybreak Center.

This holiday season, TheHerald-News is excited tobring back its Herald Angelsgiving campaign, which al-lows readers to make dona-tions to the United Way ofWill County if unable to doso through a workplace pro-

gram, or to make an addition-al gift this year.

Mike Hennessy,CEO forthe United Way of Will Coun-ty, said the funds raisedduring this campaign arecritical.

“The need in our commu-nity continues to grow,” Hen-nessy said. “One gift can helpour 45 partner agencies, andwe have raised significantfunds through the past fewHerald Angels campaigns,and we are very grateful.”

Bob Wall, general manag-

er for The Herald-News, saidthe campaign provides thepublic an easy way to supportthe United Way’s 45 partneragencies. All donations go tothe United Way.

“The publication’s staff ispleased to resume the HeraldAngels campaign,” Wall said.The campaign started in 2009and ran consecutively until2012.

Reviving the initiative,he said, is a testament to thepublication’s mission of com-munity advocacy.

“We are proud to continuethis great program and helpout as many of our neighborsas possible,” Wall said.

Hennessy said 100 percentof the money raised stays inWill County. The UWWC hasa team of community volun-teers that allocates how thefunds are distributed be-tween the partner agencies.

“Rest assured, the moneystays local,” Hennessy said.“The money helps neighbors,friends, people you may ormay not know. It makes a dif-ference in their life.”

Often, one person or fam-ily is helped by several part-ner agencies. Sarah Oprze-dek, director of developmentfor the UWWC, said the goalis to address as many needsas possible for each person.

“It’s not just one agencyat work, it’s all of them wrap-ping their arms around a fam-ily,” Oprzedek said. “You’rehelping people you see everyday, and you have no idea thedemons or issues they are

facing. When you visit theseagencies, you see and witnessjust how big the need is in ourcommunity.”

Hennessy said the UnitedWay of Will County wouldn’thave the dollars to support itspartner agencies without thegenerosity of others.

“For people with no healthinsurance, they can get helpthrough no-cost servicesduring their time of need,”Hennessy said of the UWWC’sbenefits. “Our agencies evenoffer development therapy tochildren with special needs.The need in the communitycontinues to grow.”

Forest preserve steps up ash tree removal; $250,000 allocatedBy LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

WILL COUNTY – Thou-sands of ash trees within WillCounty forest preserves willbe cut down in 2015, when thethreat of infestation from theemerald ash borer beetle isexpected to reach its peak inthe region.

The Forest Preserve Dis-trict of Will County will spend$250,000 in cash reserves nextyear for ash tree removal as away of “staying ahead of thegame,” said Ralph Schultz, di-rector of planning and devel-opment for the district.

That’s up from the roughly$140,000 the district will endup spending this year on ashtree removal.

Dead and clearly dying

ash trees along trails, picnicgroves and access areas mustbe taken down sooner rath-er than later, he said, withcracking and falling trees pos-ing a threat to preserve users.

“The approach of tryingto deal with it quickly and ef-ficiently as it’s happening isbetter for us in the long run,”Schultz said.

Tree mortality in WillCounty should reach its peakin 2015 and gradually declineover the next five years,Schultz said, with beetle in-festation shifting southwestfrom southern Cook County– an area that’s experienced ahigh ash three mortality ratesin recent years.

The district’s tree servicecontractor, Homer Tree CareInc., has removed more than

500 infested ash trees frompreserves so far this year.Another 2,000 trees will beremoved through the remain-der of the year.

About 4,500 trees havebeen identified for removalnext year, and staff project tospend about $250,000 annual-ly over the next two to threeyears for ash tree removal, ac-cording to an October memo.High-use areas will be prior-

itized.While the infestation is

widespread, areas hit thehardest include some of thedistrict’s older preserves,developed around the early1990s and have a higher per-centage of ash trees, Schultzsaid.

Joliet’s Rock Run, Isle a laCache and Monee Reservoirare some examples. McKinleyWoods in Channahon also is

among those targeted for treeremoval within the district’s22,000 acres.

The district’s Board ofCommissioners earlier thismonth approved a $46.6 mil-lion budget for 2015, whichincludes money for the stra-tegic replanting of trees indeveloped forest preserve ac-cess areas, picnic groves andtrailheads.

The district awarded theJoliet-based HL Landscapecompany a $38,014 contractlast month to replace some ofthe dead trees.

Some trails, trail segmentsand preserve access areas willneed to be closed periodicallyduring the removal process,Schultz said, but he doesn’texpect there to be much im-pact on trail users.

Sheriff Kaupas’ first trip toJoliet – on the night train

Paul Kaupas retires thismonth after 43 years in lawenforcement and 12 years asWill County sheriff.

But 50 years ago, it seemedhe was destined for the otherside of law and order. Afterhearing references made byother cops and elected officialsover the years, I once spent abreak at the courthouse askingKaupas about the first time heever came to Will County.

“We were greasers,”Kaupas said of himself and hisfriends in 1964. Among theirregular activities in the Chica-go neighborhood was jumpingonto freight trains around99th Street and VincennesAvenue and jumping off a fewblocks later.

But about 11 p.m. one night“the train made a wrong turn”and sped off with 14-year-old

Paul on top of a flat car andfour of his buddies in the boxcar ahead of him.

Kaupas recalled stickinghis head out several timesand narrowly missing get-ting clipped by bridges andpoles. He estimated the trainreached 80 miles an hourbefore it stopped at Scott andJackson streets.

The boys walked to a near-by phone booth and looked atthe directory.

“East Joliet, Illinois.‘Where the ... is East Joliet?’we asked. If you were in thecity [of Chicago] you neverleft,” Kaupas said.

They headed to a hot dogstand that’s now a churchnear the former Hilltop Drive-In theater on Route 6. Kaupaswas able to afford a meal forthe group, but believes theowner called the cops becausethey “didn’t seem local.”

After being unable toprovide a good reason forbeing out in the early morn-ing hours, the juveniles were

brought to state police head-quarters in Lockport.

“Same building that’s stillthere,” Kaupas noted.

“They called our folks. Onemom got three guys. ChuckieMitchell’s dad said ‘Keep him,’[but] they put him on a Grey-hound bus from Broadwaythe next morning,” Kaupasremembered. Kaupas’ momgot a ride from a neighbor topick him up.

Kaupas knew she wasn’thappy when she allowed acounselor to take him to theYMCA gym where he and hisfriends were tied in a chairone at a time and given crewcuts by four adults.

But while the others werebeing shorn, Kaupas and TomO’Malley broke open a wire-screened window and ran.The counselors chased thepunks through the streets in a’54 Ford.

“One would get out andchase us on foot. Then runback when he got tired andtrade off,” Kaupas said.

Kaupas was the last to surren-der. His uncle, a bail bonds-man, said he needed a haircutto go along with the suit hehad to buy for court.

“We walked into the old Jo-liet courthouse,” Kaupas said.“My uncle said ‘Hi, George.’The judge said ‘Hi, Warren. ...Is this your nephew?’ ”

Kaupas told me the judgebanged his gavel and immedi-ately said, “Case dismissed.”

The sheriff recalled beingannoyed his uncle had madehim cut his hair knowing hecould get him out of troubleanyway.

But within a few years,Kaupas’ hair was the same

length as every other Marinein Vietnam.

And his memorable expe-riences continued. Duringhis tour, he and five othermembers on his special opera-tions squad needed to get fivemiles up the road as quicklyas possible. They ended upriding through a combatzone as passengers on Hondamotorcycles.

Kaupas said the experiencereminded him of “a z-grade”exploitation movie where theHell’s Angels ride throughVietnam with rocket launch-ers on their bikes.

Trust me, his story isbetter.

The ties that bindBy DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

[email protected]

JOLIET – The homemadeburlap runners across thetables at Kristina Kolasinski’sfuneral luncheon featured hermotto – “Love each other andstick together always.”

Kristina’s daughter, BethWalker of Morris, made thoserunners in honor of the moth-er who created strong familyties among her children andgrandchildren, and then gavethat knot an extra tug beforeher death.

“She brought them inone by one and told them torespect their parents, workhard and love each other andto know that she was alwaysproud of them,” Beth said.“Even when she was sickand weak, she tried to makeus laugh. … She showed usstrength and how much sheloved us.”

Kristina was nicknamedthe “Polish Princess” becauseshe reveled in her Polishheritage, said Susan Monsonof Morris, another of Kristi-na’s daughters. Susan said hermother often verbally sparredwith her best friend, who hadan equal pride in her Irishheritage.

“She and Mrs. Gary areprobably fighting in heaven,”Beth said.

But besides her frequentwearing of red and whiteclothes – the national colors ofPoland – Kristina showed thatPolish pride through the foodshe prepared – cabbage rolls,Polish sausage, dumplings,sauerkraut, borscht, pierogiesand horseradish.

Susan recalled Kristinamaking pickles and wonderedif Kristina had attemptedPolish sausage from scratchbecause she owned a meatgrinder. Just once, however,did Kristina make her ownsauerkraut because the re-sults were unsuccessful.

“The crockpot completelydisintegrated because of thefermentation,” Susan said.

Kristina rejoiced in givingand she gave in many ways.For instance, Susan said, Kris-

tina frequently shopped salesand then gave away the items.She literally gave the shirt offher back if someone admiredit, Susan added.

When her children attend-ed Immaculate ConceptionSchool in Morris, Kristinamade and sold popcorn onWednesdays, spurring asecond nickname – PopcornLady. She also initiated a rum-mage sale, which she coordi-nated for 30 years, Susan said.

The proceeds helped theschool and the remainingmerchandise went to individu-als in need, Beth said. Duringthose 18 years when Kristinaand her husband, MartinKolasinski of Joliet, drovearound the country in theirmotor home, Kristina alwaysreturned to run the sale, Bethadded.

“My dad said those werethe best 18 years of his life,”Susan said. “They spent everysingle moment together.”

Another of Kristina’s nick-names was “Bosco,” which thefamily translated as “boss”and “bossy.” Kristina certain-ly took charge during Mar-tin’s lung cancer battle andthen stoically accepted herlymphoma diagnosis on theday she and Martin learned hewas in remission, Beth said.

Kristina’s strength con-tinued during chemotherapy,

radiation and a stem cell trans-plant. During that time, Mar-tin also had a “widow maker”heart attack and subsequentopen heart surgery, Susansaid. Kristina did so well withtreatments, she even attendeda family reunion in mid-July.

But the lymphoma foughtback, hard.

During Kristina’s finalnight in the hospital, herfamily shared the room, withMartin sleeping in a reclin-er while holding her hand,Beth said. The next day, theybrought Kristina home. Bethsaid that as Kristina passedthrough the doorway of herhome, she said, “Let’s party.”

“We all had a glass of winebut she could not eat or drinkanything,” Beth said, “so wesplashed some wine on a bit ofice for her.”

From a mechanical stand-point, both the 2.4-liter 4-cylin-der and the 3.6-liter V-6 enginesare more powerful than before.The EPA estimates 22 to 28 mpgin combined driving. Some ver-sions also offer All-Wheel-Drive(AWD), for easier driving in badweather. “A great feature tohave with winter weather upon

us” states Jim Kinney at TysonMotors.

New features standard on allversions is the Keyless Enter andGo System with push-buttonstart. Optional enhancementsinclude a panoramic sunroof,heated steering wheel, and Park-Sense Park Assist.

Rotary presents 19 Paul Harris fellowshipsThe Channahon-Minooka

Rotary Club named 19 areapeople as Paul Harris Fellowson Friday night. That’s quitean accomplishment for a clubof 24 members, FoundationChairwoman Mary Ann Eggersaid.

The recognition is namedfor Paul Harris, who foundedRotary in 1905 with three busi-ness associates. The Fellowpresentation was establishedin his honor in 1957 to expressappreciation for contributionsto humanitarian and educa-tional programs of the RotaryFoundation.

Becoming a Paul HarrisFellow requires accumulatingpoints via monetary contribu-tions to programs such as Po-lio Plus, potable water, healthcare or shelter programs forpeople in need all over theworld.

A club or an individual canearn points when they donateto international Rotary Foun-dation programs.

Channahon-MinookaRotary President Jeff Woldchallenged his club to make

more contributions to the foun-dation. He took the first stepand made a full contribution tobecome a fellow, he said.

Once Wold declared hiscommitment, it didn’t take butminutes before about half themembers raised their hands tocontribute and commit them-selves, he said.

The challenge to createmore Paul Harris Fellows, andin turn raise money for RotaryFoundation projects, camefrom higher up. Worldwidedistrict governors wanted toget local clubs to contribute atotal of $500,000. The RotaryFoundation would then matchthe contributions to increasethe power of helping othersaround the world.

After all was said anddone, Rotary Clubs ended updonating a total of $2 million,said Wold.

Nineteen new Paul Harris

Fellows equates to $3,700 fromthe Channahon-MinookaRotary Club. The three-to-onematching grant from RotaryFoundation means a lot of goodcan be done.

A portion of that moneywill also make its way backto the community, said Wold,to support local programssuch as Minooka High Schoolscholarships and the backpackprogram.

Wold said he was inspiredby the work the Rotary Foun-dation does. Once the chal-lenge was presented to clubpresidents, he took it.

“I thought a handful of clubmembers would accept, so Iwas surprise so many took meup on it,” Wold said.

Making contributions to thefoundation in another’s nameis another way of becoming aPaul Harris Fellow.

Member Tom Srachta, amultiple Paul Harris Fellow,made contributions in thenames of six of his familymembers, including his grownchildren and grandchildren.

“My folks raised me by the

[Rotary] Four Way Test. I wantmy family to have that charita-ble concept,” Srachta said.

Some of Srachta’s familymembers were in attendanceFriday night, but others joinedthe celebration via video inter-net connection.

A Paul Harris Fellowshipis given to those whose livesexemplify the humanitarianand educational objectives of

the Rotary Foundation. Themoney helps to allay suffering,improve living conditions andprovides educational opportu-nities for people all over in theworld.

1Judge denies bidto halt Illinoisfracking rules

ST. LOUIS – A judge in south-western Illinois has denied abid by a landowners group tosuspend the state’s new rules forhigh-volume oil and gas drilling,ruling the plaintiffs failed to showtheywould suffer immediateharm if the practice commonlyknown as “fracking” was to goforward.Madison County Circuit Judge

Barbara Crowder rejected therequest for a preliminary injunc-tion Friday, three days after sheheard arguments about the rulesmeant to regulate hydraulicfracturing.Attorneys for the landowners

had insisted the rules draftedby the Illinois Department ofNatural Resources and ap-proved Nov. 6 by a legislativepanel were procedurally flawed,among other things because theDNR allegedly didn’t considerscientific studies and had no rep-resentative available to answerquestions at statewide publichearings last year. Attorneys forthe state countered the publichad sufficient input.An attorney for the plaintiffs,

VitoMastrangelo, said Sundaythat the landowners, includinghim, and the group SouthernIllinoisans Against Fracturing OurEnvironment, would decideMon-daywhether to appeal Crowder’sdecision or await further proceed-ings before her about the lawsuit.Crowder’s ruling Friday dealt withmerely whether the rules takingeffect would cause “immediate”harm – aworry that a state attor-ney dismissed during the hearingas premature.“Wewill pursue it, oneway

or another,” Mastrangelo said.Friday’s development “is very dis-appointing becausewe thoughtwemade a very clear case that

the [DNR] didn’t follow statutoryrules for rule-making. That meansnow there are invalid rules, theDNRwill be implementing themand drillers will be applying forpermits based on them.”

Damage worse thanthought in Japan quakeTOKYO – The damage from

an overnight earthquake in amountainous area of central Ja-pan that hosted the 1998 winterOlympics proved more extensivethan initially thought.A daylight assessment Sunday

found at least 50 homes de-stroyed in two villages, and 41people injured across the region,including seven seriously, mostlywith broken bones, officials said.The magnitude-6.7 earthquake

struck shortly after 10 p.m.Saturday west of Nagano cityat a depth of 3 miles, the JapanMeteorological Agency said. Theagency revised the magnitudeand depth from initial estimates.The U.S. Geological Survey re-corded a magnitude of 6.2. Sincethe quake occurred inland, therewas no possibility of a tsunami.

‘Mockingjay, Part 1’opens with $123 millionNEW YORK – “Mockingjay, Part

1” didn’t catch fire like the previ-ous installments of “The HungerGames,” but it still had thebiggest opening of the year with$123 million at the weekendbox office, according to studioestimates Sunday.Lionsgate’s “Mockingjay”

opened well below the $158million debut of last year’s“Hunger Games: Catching Fire”and the $153 million openingof the 2012 original. But evenwith a $30-million-plus slidein the franchise, “Mockingjay”far surpassed the previous topweekend of the year: the $100

million debut of “Transformers:Age of Extinction.”The result made for some un-

usual ironies. The biggest open-ing of the year (and by a widemargin) was seen by some as adisappointment. Initial box officereceipts suggested a weekendtake below expectations.But the decision to split the

final book in Suzanne Collins’dystopian trilogy into two filmswas clearly lucrative for Lions-gate. “Mockingjay” did evenbetter overseas, where it made$152 million over the weekend,accounting altogether for a$275 million global opening.

Health care M&A leadsglobal deal surgeIn a big year for deal making, the

health care industry is a standout.Big drugmakers are buying and

most active year for health caredeals in at least 20 years. Theindustry has announced about$438 billion worth of mergersand acquisitions worldwide sofar, about 14 percent of the $3.2trillion total for all industries, ac-cording to data provider Dealogic.Overall, M&A is on track for itsbest year since 2007.“Health care has been a sleepy

niche of M&A until recently, butthe giant has been awakened,”said KenMenges, a senior partnerat law firm Akin Gump, New York.

Anxieties mount as Fergusonwaits on grand jury’s verdict

By DAVID A. LIEBand ANDALE GROSSThe Associated Press

FERGUSON, Mo. – Despitepreparations for a weekend de-cision in the Ferguson shoot-ing case, the grand jurorsapparently need more time todeliberate, and the uncertain-ty just seemed to feed the anxi-ety and speculation Sunday ina city already on edge.

More than 3! months havepassed since police OfficerDarren Wilson, who is white,killed unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown after aconfrontation in the middleof a street in the St. Louis sub-urb. The shooting triggeredriots and looting, and policeresponded with armored vehi-cles and tear gas.

Many in the area thought agrand jury decision on wheth-er to charge Wilson with acrime would be announcedSunday, based partly on astepped-up police presence inthe preceding days, includingthe setting up of barricadesaround the building where thepanel was meeting.

The grand jurors met Fri-day but apparently didn’treach a decision, and theywidely were expected to re-convene on Monday, althoughthere was no official confirma-tion of that.

During church servicesSunday, some pastors encour-aged their flocks not to fret.

A choir sang, “We needyou Lord right now” at thepredominantly black GreaterGrace Church in Ferguson.The pastor, Bishop L.O. Jones,referred to the pending grandjury decision briefly.

“Everybody stand to yourfeet and tell somebody, ‘Don’tbe afraid. God is still in con-trol,’ ” Jones said as churchmembers repeated after him..

The Rev. Freddy Clark ofShalom Church in nearby Flo-rissant told the mostly blackinterdenominational congre-gation that “justice will beserved” whichever way the de-cision goes, because God willtake care of it.

“None of us are pleasedabout what happened,” saidparishioner James Tatum.“Whatever the verdict is, we

have to understand that’s theverdict.”

As they wait, some peoplehave continued daily protests,while speculation has grownthat the delays are intentional.

“People feel like it’s beenengineered, so that the re-sults wouldn’t come out un-til after the election and un-til the weather got cold, andit would be more difficultto protest,” said Susan Mc-Graugh, supervisor of theCriminal Defense Clinic atthe Saint Louis UniversitySchool of Law. “It’s reallyadding fuel to the fire.”

Wilson has remained outof public view since the shoot-ing, although CNN reportedSunday that he has met withnetwork anchors to discusspossible interviews. DonLemon and Anderson Coo-per, both of CNN, each saidon Twitter that they had metwith Wilson.

St. Louis County Prosecu-tor Bob McCulloch had said heexpected a grand jury decisionby mid-to-late November. Butthat’s not ultimately in hiscontrol.

ber24,201415Time right for a Wilmington state title

A must activity for kidsgrowing up in Wilmington isto watch those big high schoolkids play football.

Along with that feeling ofawe comes the dream thatsome day they themselves willplay for the Wildcats in a statechampionship game.

Many a great Wilmingtonteam has come and gone andfallen short of seeing the dreambecome reality. Because ofSaturday’s 46-13 thumping ofByron in the Class 3A semifi-nals, however, this edition ofthe Wildcats will face Wil-liamsville at 4 p.m. Friday inthe Class 3A state title gameat the University of Illinois inChampaign.

Wilmington’s only oth-er appearance in the statechampionship game came in2003, when the Wildcats lost toStillman Valley, 21-7. In fact,only three Wildcats teamshave played in the semifinals.The other was in 2002, whenImmaculate Conception endedWilmington’s run, 26-15.

“We know about the pre-vious teams, about the 2003team,” said Wilmington line-backer Joe Mann, whose pick-six was among the highlightsof Saturday’s victory. “It’s stilltalked about around here.

“The goal for us and for ev-ery Wilmington team is to winstate. That’s what our goal is.You know it doesn’t happen of-ten. All you can do as a playeris look at each game as it is infront of you. You always haveconfidence that you can win,but you never can look ahead.”

Alex Zlomie was one of theWildcats on a mission Satur-day. Earlier last week, he wasnamed an Illinois High SchoolFootball Coaches AssociationClass 3A all-state defensiveback. Against Byron, he notonly excelled defensively, buthe also caught five passes for94 yards, including touchdownreceptions of 33, 15 and 10yards from quarterback MasonSouthall. The 10-yarder washighlight-reel material.

“You always dream aboutgetting this far,” Zlomie said.“I knew we would be good thisyear, but I didn’t think earlier

we would get this far. But we’redoing what we are supposedto do, and now we get a chanceto play for the state champion-ship.”

“I’m just speechless aboutgoing to state,” said Southall,who enjoyed his best all-around game Saturday. “I can’tbelieve it.”

Imagine growing up inWilmington, dreaming ofsome day winning a statefootball championship with theWildcats. These kids are on theverge of making it happen.

“We have championshipsin baseball and wrestling, andit’s time to get one in football,”

said Wilmington PrincipalKevin Feeney, who coachedthe Wildcats’ baseball teams toClass A state titles in 2002 and2004 and third place in 2003. “Iwant to see Jeff [Reents, thefootball coach] get one.”

I’ll second that feeling.All Reents has done in his 21years as Wilmington’s coach iscompile a 184-51 record, a .783winning percentage. The timeis right for him to add a statetitle to the resume.

A BIT OF HISTORYSpeaking of state titles, how

about the Joliet area having ashot at three state champion-

ships? Providence will meetCary-Grove in Class 7A at 4p.m. Saturday after Lemonttakes on Nazareth in Class 6Aat 1 p.m.

As you would expect, all ofthe area teams have ruggedopponents. However, if they allwin, that would mark the firsttime we have had three statechampions in the same year.

In 2003, when Wilmington

finished second, Joliet Catholicand Lockport won state titles.In 2004, we had four finalistsfor the only time as JCA beatMorris, Providence finishedfirst and Coal City took second.

The most recent season forus to have three finalists was2007, when JCA beat Lemontand Morris finished second.The most recent year with twochampions was 2005, whenMorris and Lincoln-Way Eastbrought home titles.

Providence, in its questfor a 10th state title, has beentrumpeted all season as per-haps the best team in the stateregardless of class. What theCeltics did to Mount Carmelin Saturday’s 42-21 semifinalvictory speaks volumes aboutcoach Mark Coglianese’s team.

The other qualifier, Lemont,continues to impress underfirst-year coach Bret Kooi. AClass 6A team that can beatRichards and Peoria NotreDame (incidentally, the finalscore of 32-25 was report-ed incorrectly in Sunday’sHerald-News) in consecutiveplayoff weeks is a threat to winit all. The Indians dropped titlegames in 2007 and 2008 and,like Wilmington, are seekingtheir first title.

Nazareth was billed as theNo. 1 team in Class 6A eversince it was determined theRoadrunners would play inClass 6A and not Class 5A.They are that talented. Butwith what Lemont has accom-plished, expect a memorablechampionship game.

PAEA’S PRESENCE FELT IN VICTORYBy JEFF ARNOLD

[email protected]

CHICAGO – There are timesStephen Paea feels underappre-ciated – not by his Bears team-mates, but instead, by the op-posing offensive linemen Paeaspends his Sunday afternoonstrying to bypass on his way to thequarterback.

Paea isn’t surprised by thelack of attention, given the ProBowl-caliber defensive talenthe has around him in Jared Al-len, Willie Young and JeremiahRatliff. While the trio has beencredited mainly with the pres-sure the Bears have put on op-posing quarterbacks this season,Paea often takes a back seat.

“I’m pretty much the odd manout in there,” Paea said, smiling.

Not Sunday.Paea was front and center dur-

ing the Bears’ 21-13 win over theTampa Bay Buccaneers when hefinished with three tackles andtwo of the Bears’ five sacks ofJosh McCown. In addition, Paeagot a hit on McCown that set upthe first of McCown’s two inter-ceptions.

Paea said the additions of Al-len, Young and Ratliff last seasonhave allowed him to draw more

one-on-one matchups while of-fensive linemen devote the bulkof their attention to more estab-lished pass-rushers. He said attimes linemen have sometimeseven looked away from him, sug-gesting they’re not expecting himto do anything.

That has only motivated Paea.“I’ll take it – I’ll take the sack,”

Paea said. “But I play with a chipon my shoulder, but at the sametime, I can’t mess up. If I mess upwith them, they’re going to yell atme. So I might as well do my joband do it to the best of my abil-ity.”

Sunday’s effort was a big partof the Bears’ second-half turn-around when the offense turnedback-to-back McCown turnoversinto back-to-back Matt Fortetouchdown runs.

Paea was constantly in the mixof the pressure McCown facedagainst his former team, help-ing lead to 21 consecutive Bearspoints.

Paea’s performance left quitethe impression.

“Today, Paea was the tone-setter,” Ratliff said. “Every-body wants to be the tone-setterand the guy up front, and game-to-game, across the defensivefront, that changes. Paea was

that guy [Sunday]. He got greatpenetration, great pocket push,and it allowed the rest of us to

play off off him.”Bears coach Marc Trestman

also was encouraged by Paea’s

play.“His effort level was good to-

day – he created some havoc in-side among the other guys,” Trest-man said. “It’s really the fourguys, five guys, six guys workingtogether in the pass rush. We gotbetter at it today. We’re movingforward today, and I think thatwas a big part of creating thoseturnovers was the pressure weput on Josh.”

Paea believes Sunday’s perfor-mance can be one the Bears canbuild on heading into Thursday’sgame in Detroit against the Lions.

As the defense showed againstthe Buccaneers, putting pressureon the quarterback can lead togood things. But with the Bearsnow at 5-6 and in need of severalmore wins to even be considereda playoff contender, the defensewill have to play a major role.

Sunday’s showing, Paea said,was a step in the right direction.

“Every week, we’ve got to hitthe quarterback and make himfeel uncomfortable in the pocket,”Paea said. “I think that’s what wedid in the first quarter, and itpaid off from there.

“But we’ve got to keep fightingand believing in what we have –in our system and in the guys thatwe have here.”

H. Rick Bamman – [email protected]

Bears defensive lineman Stephen Paea sacks Tampa Bay quarterback JoshMcCown in the third quarter Sunday at Soldier Field.

3 things that worked

1 Creating turnovers: It was fitting thatagainst Lovie Smith, the Bears’ defense

finally ramped up the takeaways, picking offJoshMcCown twice and forcing and recover-ing two Tampa Bay fumbles. Two of thoseturnovers led to 14 Bears points.

2 Pressuring the quarterback: Led byJared Allen and Stephen Paea, the Bears

hit JoshMcCown a staggering 13 times andfinishedwith five sacks. The pressure upfront is a big reasonMcCown completedonly 52.1 percent of his passes.

3 Kick coverage: Yes, Pat O’Donnell’sfinal two punts were poor, but the Bears

downed two punts inside the 20, heldMar-cus Thigpen to 12 yards on two returns, andon Robbie Gould’s kickoffs, the Bucs’ averagedrive start was their own 18-yard line.

3 that didn’t

1 First-half offense: For the sixth game ina row, the Bears did not score in the first

quarter. For the third time in five games, theywere shut out at halftime. The offensewas2 for 9 on third down, had several droppedpasses andMatt Forte had 16 yards on fivecarries. The O-line allowed three sacks in thefirst half.

2 Big-play offense: The Bears had oneplay that went for more than 16 yards

– a 26-yard pass from Cutler toMartellusBennett. They had only seven plays thatwent longer than 10 yards against one of theleague’s worst defenses. No Bears playerhadmore than 37 yards receiving.

3 Stalled drives: The Bears were anabysmal 4 for 16 on third down against

a Bucs team that was fifth-worst in theleague on third-down defense. Four penaltieson offense – including three on BrandonMarshall – came on drives that resulted inBears punts.

3moments thatmattered

1 Reminiscent of last week’s goal-line stall,the Bears had it at the Bucs’ 1-yard line in

the third quarter, trailing 10-0. This time, onthird-and-goal, Cutler had time, scanned thefield, moved the pocket before hitting AlshonJeffery for a touchdown, finally getting theBears on the board, and starting a run of 21consecutive points.

2 With the Bears trailing by three in thirdquarter, a pair of reserves came up big.

Second-year defensive end David Bass, whohas spent time on the practice squad thisseason, strip-sackedMcCown, and undraft-ed rookie linebacker Christian Jones – in forthe injured Lance Briggs – got the recovery.Forte scored on the next play, giving theBears the lead for good.

3 BeforeMcCownwas stopped short ona quarterback sneak late in the game

Wilson was sacked a sea-son-high seven times by Arizo-na’s ultra-aggressive defenseand the assortment of blitzesthey called to confuse and flus-ter the Seahawks quarterback.But when Seattle (7-4) neededa scoring drive, after squan-dering advantageous field po-sition throughout the game,Wilson delivered.

The victory was a must forSeattle if it had any hopes ofgetting back into the divisionrace. The Seahawks enteredthe day trailing Arizona (9-2) by three games in the NFCWest.

Arizona was held to a sea-son-low 204 total yards.

BROWNS 26, FALCONS 24: AT-LANTA – Brian Hoyer shookoff three interceptions, leadingthe Cleveland Browns downthe field in the final minute toset up Billy Cundiff’s 37-yardfield goal as time expired tobeat the Atlanta Falcons.

Taking advantage of the lastof Hoyer’s picks, the Falcons(4-7) drove for Matt Bryant’s 53-yard field goal with 44 secondsremaining to seize the lead.

But Hoyer completed fourstraight passes, the last of

them to the Falcons 19, andspiked the ball with 5 secondsleft. Cundiff trotted on andmade his fourth field goal ofthe game for the Browns (7-4).

PATRIOTS 34, LIONS 9: FOX-BOROUGH, Mass. – Tom Bradythrew for 349 yards and twotouchdowns in a pass-heavyoffense against the NFL’sstingiest rushing defense, andthe New England Patriotsstretched their winning streakto seven games with a victoryover the Detroit Lions.

The Patriots led, 24-6, athalftime as Brady repeated-ly found wide-open receiverswhile the Lions struggled onoffense. For the second straightgame, Detroit failed to score atouchdown.

New England (9-2) routeda division leader for the thirdconsecutive game, followingwins over Denver and India-napolis. Detroit (7-4) lost for thesecond straight week against aconference leader after fallingto Arizona, 14-6, last Sunday.

PACKERS 24, VIKINGS 21:MINNEAPOLIS – Eddie Lacyrushed for 125 yards on 25 car-ries, both season highs to helpAaron Rodgers and the GreenBay Packers hang on againstthe Minnesota Vikings.

Lacy scored twice, on a runin the first quarter and a catchin the fourth. Then, he rum-bled through the line for twofirst downs to drain the clock

after the Vikings (4-7) cut thelead to three with 3:23 remain-ing.

Rodgers threw two touch-down passes and again avoid-ed a turnover for the Packers(8-3), who also moved pastDetroit into sole possession offirst place in the NFC North.

EAGLES 43, TITANS 24: PHIL-ADELPHIA – Josh Huff re-turned the opening kickoff 107yards, LeSean McCoy ran for130 yards, and the PhiladelphiaEagles beat the Tennessee Ti-tans.

Huff’s return was the lon-gest in franchise history andthe 10th non-offensive touch-down for Philadelphia this sea-son.

Mark Sanchez threw for307 yards and one touchdownin his third start for the in-jured Nick Foles. He has 300yards passing in three straightgames, tying a team record.

Now, the Eagles (8-3) canshift their focus to the DallasCowboys (7-3) for a first-placeshowdown on Thanksgiving.The top two teams in the NFCEast will play twice in 18 days,starting with Thursday’s gameat Dallas.

BENGALS 22, TEXANS 13:HOUSTON – Andy Daltonthrew for 233 yards and atouchdown and A.J. Green had121 yards receiving on a ca-reer-high 12 receptions to givethe Cincinnati Bengals a win

over the Houston Texans.The Bengals (7-3-1) led

throughout, but Houston (5-6) cut the lead to three pointslate in the third quarter beforeCincinnati tacked on two fieldgoals in the fourth quarter tosecure the win.

COLTS 23, JAGUARS 3: INDI-ANAPOLIS – T.Y. Hilton cel-ebrated the birth of his firstchild with a 73-yard TD catch,spurring a second-half turn-around that allowed Indianap-olis to pull away from Jackson-ville.

Andrew Luck was 21 of 32for 253 yards with one score,but his streak of consecutive300-yard games ended at eight– one short of Drew Brees’ NFLrecord.

The Colts (7-4) have won 11straight against AFC Southfoes. Jacksonville (1-10) haslost four straight overall andfive straight to Indy.

Hilton promised to score atouchdown for his new daugh-ter, but it sure wasn’t easy.Luck was sacked five times,fumbled three times and losttwo of those in the first half.

CHARGERS 27, RAMS 24: SANDIEGO – Marcus Gilchristintercepted Shaun Hill at thegoal line with 56 seconds left topreserve the victory by the SanDiego Chargers (7-4) againstthe St. Louis Rams (4-7) thathelped tighten the AFC Westrace.

Gilchrist jumped the routeas Hill tried to force a passto Kenny Britt, who also wascovered by Shareece Wright,on second-and-goal from the4. Hill had beaten Gilchriston a 7-yard TD pass to Sted-man Bailey with 2:04 left thatpulled the Rams within threepoints.

49ERS 17, REDSKINS 13: SAN-TA CLARA, Calif. – CarlosHyde ran for a go-ahead 4-yardtouchdown with 2:59 remain-ing, and San Francisco barelysqueaked by the lowly Wash-ington Redskins with a winthat kept them in the thick ofthe playoff chase.

A fourth-down conversionin their own territory awayfrom losing, the Niners finallycapitalized with a rare touch-down in the final period on theway to their third straight win.

BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW, OTHER AREA LARGE SCHOOLS

SWSBlue brigade chasing BolingbrookBy DICK GOSS

[email protected]

Prentiss Nixon may be one of thebest guards in Illinois. He has signedwith Colorado State.

Julian Torres, the man mountain at6-foot-9, 240 pounds, has played for theU-18 Puerto Rican national team. Hesigned with Wisconsin-Green Bay.

The stock of senior guard BrodricThomas rose in the offseason.

It is no wonder that as the boys bas-ketball season gets underway, everycoach in the SouthWest Suburban Bluespeaks of Bolingbrook as one of theteams to beat.

It often is that way, of course. TheRaiders have won 20-plus games the pastthree seasons under coach Rob Brost.

“I like our team,” Brost said. “Ourstrength will be our backcourt led byPrentiss and Brodric. If we play smartand play together, I think we have achance to be a very good basketballteam by the end of the season.”

Brost said Bolingbrook is not as deepas it had been the past two years, and theRaiders don’t have the overall size theyhad in the past. Still, they pencil is as oneof the best teams in the Joliet area.

Homewood-Flossmoor generally isconsidered the most serious challengerin the SouthWest Suburban Blue, butJoliet Central and Joliet West also havethe material to make things interestingfor the Raiders or anyone else on a giv-en night.

Central has only two part-timestarters returning in point guard Jer-ry Gillespie and Kenyon Woodfork, the

team’s best defender. But Kewon Ware,Darius Stokes, Jake Klima, TaquanSims, Malik Fuller, Ternell Jordan andsophomore Jose Grubbs all have assetsthat can contribute to a successful sea-son.

“We are definitely small, which isgoing to hurt us tremendously on theglass and defensively from time totime,” Steelmen coach Jeff Corcoransaid. “But our quickness and speed aregoing to allow us to get up and guardyou with pressure. We want to get out

and run and get to the rim as fast as pos-sible.”

That means the Steelmen will be afun watch, and perhaps realize somesuccess.

“We have a lot of guys who battled fortime last year when I think we were apretty good team,” Corcoran said. “Thisteam is ready to prove they can dupli-cate the success of last year’s squad butwill be challenged every night with ourschedule.

“If they buy into what we are trying

to do, we can be very dangerous Thisgroup has a chip on its shoulder andwants to prove a lot to themselves.”

Meanwhile, at Joliet West, sec-ond-year coach Nick DiForti returnsstarters Max Ahern, D’Anthony Wrightand Mike Ruwoldt. Sophomores Trev-ian Bell and Teyvio’n Kirk and seniorMalcohm Hill also will contribute

“We have a very heady team,” DiFor-ti said. “I expect us to get better as theyear progresses. We have four sopho-mores and two juniors, and these kidswill have to learn on the job from oursolid group of seniors who have greatteam chemistry.”

DiForti added that the Tigers attimes will lack height, depending onwho is in the game at a given time, andthey must overcome the inconsistencyof sophomores at the beginning of theseason. Once the calendar flips to 2015,however, West could be on the upswing.

The other area schools in the SWSBlue, Lockport and Lincoln-Way East,are hoping to make a first-division run.

The Porters return guards RalphBlakney and Deiondre Taylor and for-ward Gehrig Hollatz. Center AnthonyGybauskas also is a key figure.

Coach Lawrence Thompson Jr. saidLockport’s strengths will be team playand shooting, while rebounding andlack of athleticism could be shortcom-ings.

“We hope to have a very hard-work-ing team that relies on each other to besuccessful on both ends of the floor,”Thompson said.

Providence could start slow but finish fastBy DICK GOSS

[email protected]

The success of the Provi-dence Catholic football teamthis fall will have an effect onthe Celtics’ basketball team, atleast for the first month or so.

On the other hand, whencoach Tim Trendel gains theservices of Nate Vejvoda, JakeRost, Miles Boykin and Antho-ny DiNardi when they are inbasketball shape, the Celticswill be interesting.

We previewed area schools

in the Southwest Prairie Con-ference on Sunday. In anotherstory in this edition, we arecovering area schools in theSouthWest Suburban Blueand Red. Here, we take a lookat large schools in the area,Providence included, that toilin other conferences.

Providence is a member ofthe Chicago Catholic LeagueSouth, which Trendel said is“one of the best conferences inthe state.”

“If we can keep our headsabove water until our rein-

forcements show up, I thinkwe can make a little noise inthe league and in the confer-ence tournament,” Trendelsaid.

The Celtics will compete inthis week’s WJOL Thanksgiv-ing Classic at University of St.Francis with Jack Brody, Ty-ler Pygon and Troy Howat themainstays. All three will playcollege basketball.

“Once the entire rosteris here, we will put lineupsout there with five scoringthreats,” Trendel said. “We

will be a big and long teamwith lots of experience. Weshould be able to rebound. Wewill be an unselfish team thatplays well together.”

JOLIET CATHOLICWhen Joliet Catholic faces

Romeoville at 7 p.m. Mondayat JCA in the WJOL Classicopening round, it will be thefirst opportunity to see theHilltoppers since their run tothe Class 3A sectional final inMarch.

JCA returns 6-foot junior

Jalen Jackson, who coach JoeGura says could be the toppoint guard in the area, alongwith juniors and returningstarters Harold Davis, DrakeFellows and Luke Mander.

Jackson averaged 15 pointsas a sophomore. Davis aver-aged nine points and five re-bounds last season and is theteam’s best defender. Fellows,the baseball pitcher with thebig-time fastball, averagednine points, eight rebounds

and three blocks; and Manderaveraged six points and sevenboards.

Gura said Pete Pagen, Jar-ed LeNoir, football standoutMichael Johnson and RileyO’Donnell all will play. Theywill be needed as JCA takesits best shot at the rugged EastSuburban Catholic Conference.

“We are becoming moreathletic and experienced,”Gura said. “We have solidshooting and, for a change, wehave some rebounding. But weare still young, and our sched-ule is a killer.

“We had some great successlast year, winning the first re-gional in 32 years and reach-ing the sectional final. We aregetting better. We would liketo think we are on the brink of

doing even more great things.”

MORRISMorris coach Joe Blumberg

said his team is roughly oneweek behind in preparationfor the season because of theRedskins’ run to the footballquarterfinals.

“We had been missing six ofour 16 guys,” Blumberg said.“We expect four, five or all sixto contribute when they gettheir basketball legs.”

The top returnees for Mor-ris – which plays in the North-ern Illinois Big 12 East – are se-niors Austin Patterson, EvanBjelland and Jake Walker.Patterson averaged 15.6 pointsand 5.8 rebounds last season.Bjelland averaged 8.3 pointsand 2.3 assists, and Walkercontributed 9.4 points.

“In my mind, Austin is oneof the bet perimeter shootersin the state,” Blumberg said.

“Evan handles the ball verywell and sees the floor. Jakegives us a third guard who cancreate shots on the perimeter.He’s a hard-nosed kid whohates to lose.”

LEMONTLemont coach Rick Runaas

said his team will be under-sized and will lack speed asit prepares for the South Sub-urban Blue wars. However,he added, “Basketball IQ andshooting may make up for it.

“We’ll be starting three un-derclassmen,” Runaas said.“We’re waiting for a footballplayer who should be impact-ful and a returning letter win-ner who has been dealing withinjuries all offseason.”

Ryan Shereck, Jack Valoneand Austin Tittle are the In-dians’ returning starters. P.J.Pipes and Nick Wisz will becontributors.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Several bridge magazines comeout monthly, containing informationabout the tournament world, instruc-tive articles, quizzes, and biddingdeals and problems that you mayattempt, then compare your actionswith those of experts. They are a greatvalue for the money.

In the United States, if you jointhe American Contract Bridge League(acbl.org), you automatically receivethe Bridge Bulletin. Today’s deal wasprovided by Eddie Kantar. What doyou think of the bidding? Against sixspades doubled, West leads the clubace, dropping his partner’s king, andshifts to the heart queen. How shouldSouth continue?

In the auction, when North raisedto five spades, South was right to bidsix spades. He probably needed onlythe spade queen in the dummy to belaydown for the contract. East thenmisjudged badly.

First, his double gave away theposition of the spade queen; second,seven hearts doubled costs only 500 –less than game by the opponents.

Declarer needs to play trumpswithout loss, which will require takingtwo finesses through East if theyare 4-0. To gain two dummy entries,South must trump both of his highhearts.

So, he ruffs with the spade two attrick two and plays a trump to his jack.When West discards a club (playingblack on black in case declarer isn’tpaying attention), South ruffs his heartace in the dummy, plays a spade to his10, draws trumps and claims.

To join the American ContractBridge League costs $29 for the firstyear, a steal considering that you get12 issues of the Bridge Bulletin.

Dear Doctor K: I have rheu-matoid arthritis. Can youexplain what is happeningin my body to cause suchuncomfortable symptoms?

Dear Reader: Rheumatoidarthritis (RA) is a chronic(long-term) disease. It caus-es painful and sometimesdisabling inflammationof the joints. RA can alsoaffect other tissues in thebody, such as the skin,eyes, lungs and bloodvessels.

RA is an autoimmunedisease. That means theimmune system mistak-enly identifies normal,healthy cells as dangerousand attempts to destroythem. Why does thishappen? Do the normal,healthy cells somehow“look” foreign to the im-mune system? Or is theresomething in the normalcells, like a virus thathasn’t yet been discovered,that attracts the attentionof the immune system?There are a lot of scientiststrying to figure that out.

In RA, the immune sys-tem targets synovial joints,the movable joints foundin the shoulders, elbows,wrists, fingers, hips, knees,ankles and toes. In thesejoints, a protective layer ofcartilage covers the ends ofthe bones where they meet.The joints take their namefrom the synovium, a mem-brane that lines the joint.

The synovium produc-es synovial fluid, a thick,sticky, yellowish liquid.It lubricates the joint andminimizes friction. It alsoforms a seal that allowsneighboring bones to slidefreely against each otherwithout pulling apart.

RA occurs when theimmune system mistaken-ly attacks the synovium.The attacking cells releaseinflammatory chemicalsthat increase blood flowto the site. They direct anarmy of white blood cells,germ-fighters and othersubstances into the invad-ed tissue. White blood cellsproduce intense inflamma-tion.

In response to theinflammation, synovialcells also begin to multiply.

This causes the normallysmooth synovium to forma rough, grainy tissuecalled pannus. The pannusgrows into the previouslyempty space in the joint.In addition, synovial cellsand other cells producechemicals that eat away atthe cartilage in the joint.

Together, the pannusand the inflammatorychemicals badly damagethe joint. If the tendonsbecome inflamed, theymay shorten and preventthe joint from bending. Ifthe tendons rupture, thejoint may become loose orfloppy. (I’ve put an illustra-tion of this process on mywebsite, AskDoctorK.com.)

In a normal immunesystem response, inflam-mation subsides when thethreat is removed. But inRA, the immune responseis not normal; it continuesindefinitely. This pro-longed inflammation canbe devastating. The resultis swelling, redness, heatand pain in the joints.Ultimately, the joints canbe so badly damaged thatthey become deformed.People with RA can havegreat difficulty walking,bending, lifting or usingtheir hands.

As RA progresses, itcan limit a person’s abilityto carry out normal dailyactivities such as dress-ing, bathing and walking.However, with medica-tions, good self-care and, ifnecessary, surgery, mostpeople with RA can avoiddisability. In the pastdecade, research has led topowerful new medicinesthat prevent the slowdestruction of the jointsin many people with RA.I hope your doctor hasprescribed one of thesemedicines for you.

Dear Abby: I was recent-ly fired from my job forchronic tardiness. I haveworked at this business forfour years, and although Iknew my lateness was seenas a problem by my boss, itwas still a surprise.

Now that I’m back in thejob market again, I’m won-dering if I need to mentionmy previous tardiness onemployment applications. Iasked my mother, who hasbeen privy to this wholemess. She thinks I shouldmention it and explain thatI have learned my lesson –especially when applyingto a different branch ofmy former company thatwould have direct access tomy evaluations.

I think I should explainmy tardiness as a “lessonlearned” on job interviewswhen/if it comes up, noton applications where I amtrying to put my best footforward. What say you? –Tardy for Work

Dear Tardy: While I thinkyour mother may meanwell, I agree with YOU!

Dear Abby: When I waslittle I would have givenanything to have met myfather at least once. Now Iam 26 and have a 2-year-oldboy, “Sean.” I am married,but not to his father (a manI’ll call Charlie).

All of a sudden, Charlieis wanting to be in Sean’slife, but Sean alreadyknows my husband as hisdaddy. I’m confused andafraid. What’s your advice?I don’t want to confuse mylittle boy about the manwho is raising him andhis biological father, but Idon’t want to wait ‘til Seanis older and cause himpain. – Mom in Tennessee

Dear Mom: It appears thatBio-Dad is a little slow onthe uptake. Now that he

wants to be part of Sean’slife, he should also bepaying child support if hedoesn’t already, so discussthis with a lawyer.

Charlie should be intro-duced to Sean by his namefor now. When the boy isold enough to understand –in a year or two – he shouldthen be told that he hastwo dads and that he’ll besharing time with both ofthem because they bothlove him.

Dear Abby: My boyfriendand I have been datingfor a year and a half. LastThanksgiving I invited him-- and he attended -- myfamily’s get-together. Ofcourse, I invited him againthis year.

However, his richsister and brother-in-laware treating his family toThanksgiving dinner at anice restaurant. I was notinvited.

My feelings are hurt, butI’m not sure I’m justifiedin feeling that way. ShouldI just get over it since I’mnot actually a member oftheir family? – Uninvitedin Missouri

Dear Uninvited: If you’resmart, you’ll be graciousabout this. While it wouldhave been nice if the sisterhad included you, you andyour boyfriend are not en-gaged – and the sister mayhave wanted the dinner tobe “strictly family.” As thehostess, that is her privi-lege.
