‘Fun Day’ reaches more than just school families

“I see grandparents and parents with their kids today. It’s good family bonding time. The kids also enjoy seeing their teachers outside of the classroom.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

Jen Goebel

PTO president

MORRIS – White Oak Elementary School in Morris was filled with students Saturday when the school was transformed into a fun zone encouraging kids to jump, throw and walk in circles, all in an attempt to earn a prize.

“I really like Fun Day,” third-grader Branden Matthews said. “I came last year, and it has all sorts of fun games and prizes.”

Matthews said his favorite event is climbing the rock wall hanging on the west side of the small gym, where students can test their skills to see if they can reach the top.

PTO President Jen Goebel said the money raised from the annual Fun Day event benefits White Oak Elementary School’s accelerated reading program.

The event brought in just under $6,000, of which $1,800 was from ticket sales on Satur-

day alone.

“We’ve held the event for at least 10 years,” Goebel said. “It takes a lot of behind-the-scenes work.”

She said parents, teachers and honor students from Shabbona Middle School and Morris Community High School show up each year to do everything from man the games to stuff 428 bags of tickets.

Goebel said the work is worth it to give families a place to spend the day together having fun.

“I see grandparents and parents with their kids today.

It’s good family bonding time,” Goebel said. “The kids also enjoy seeing their teachers outside of the classroom.”

Heather Smith brought her son Ethan, a kindergartener, for the first time.

“This is our first year at

She said it’s a great outlet for the kids.

It isn’t just White Oak students who enjoy the day.

Sisters Sophia and Emma Geiss, who attend kindergarten and second grade at Nettle Creek School, said they came to the event to have fun.

Grundy Board secretary to receive temporary raise Pommier gets pay hike for doing administrator duties

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Finance Committee has approved a one-time $10,000 stipend and an hourly rate increase for board secretary Sandy Pommier who has taken on extra responsibilities.

After an executive session Monday, the committee voted, 5-1, with board member Dick Joyce voting no, to approve the financial action for Pommier.

Finance Committee Chairman John Galloway said Pommier has taken on additional

responsibilities and hours while the county has been without an administrator. The stipend will pay for the work she has done, and the increase in her hourly rate will cover her additional duties until they can hire an administrator.

“The money is coming out of the administrator salary that is already budgeted,” board member Vicki Geiger said. “The money has already been budgeted for the administrator position.”

Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said the secretary position pays $23.07, and the increase to $36

an hour would be in effect until the county hires an administrator.

“Over the past several months, Sandy has stepped up into the role,” Welter said.

“The pay increase will revert back once the administrator has been hired.”

The county has been without an administrator since the fall. Land Use Director Heidi Miller, who took on the administrator role in addition to her Land Use role, resigned from the position stating she made a mistake as an administrator and “was not following county procedure.” Miller retained her Land Use position.

The committee spoke Monday about the salary that would be available to hire a new administrator, but no decisions were made and it was sent back to the Personnel

State police seize drugs, money during Grundy County arrest MORRIS DAILY HERALD An Illinois State Police District 5 trooper patrolling Interstate 80 in the area of Seneca Road uncovered 12 grams of marijuana, 25 hits of LSD and $14,950 in cash Friday afternoon.

The trooper initiated a traffic stop about 3:30 p.m. Friday on a 2008 Chevrolet HHR f o r s p e e d i n g , Ryan P. according to a Watson news release from District 5 State Police. Upon speaking with the driver, the trooper reportedly detected an odor of marijuana inside the vehicle.

Upon further investigation, police said the officer uncovered the drugs and money.

The driver, Ryan P. Watson, 21 of Summerland, California, was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class X felony; and possession of cannabis.

Watson was taken to the Grundy County Jail, where he awaits a bond hearing.

“ISP troopers work hard and risk their lives daily to keep motorists and roads safe,” ISP District 5 Commander Captain Darryl Bogard said in the release. “This is an example of our officers uncovering criminal drug activity during a routine traffic stop.”

fering a performance-based stipend rather than a salary raise.

Galloway said since the board chairman already is paid additional money for his part-time work, he didn’t feel the administrator position should be more than the $80,000 to $90,000 range.

The board then discussed the administrator responsibilities and Galloway questioned the need to have a board chairman paid extra to do some of the duties.

Gill said they have a lot more to discuss about the position and they would go back to Personnel to work on the job description.

The committee also moved to have the IT Director salary discussion removed from the agenda because the job description is being changed.

Committee to get the job description defined.

Personnel members Geiger and Ann Gill said they brought the discussion to Finance to see if there was an additional $5,000 to $10,000 to offer an administrator.

“Last time, at $85,000, it eliminated some of the potential candidates,” Geiger told the committee. “Most full-time administrators make around $100,000.”

Gill said they just wanted to know if they had the flexibility to adjust the previous salary of $85,000 by $5,000 to $10,000 if they found a candidate with the skills that would demand the increase.

Finance member Eric Rasmussen said he’s seen other committees burned by offering top dollar and he would be more comfortable with of-

“Who doesn’t love equality?” she said. “As I researched it, I saw it isn’t the best for everyone.”

Her mother, Deb Warning, said after seeing the research and hearing the debate on flat tax, it completely changed her mind.

“A couple of years ago when they debated flat tax, I thought I had an opinion on it,” Deb Warning said. “I think it changed my opinion. It’s not as cut and dry as I thought.”

She said her daughter’s re-

Diana Wolfson, tournament director for CHARGE, said the group holds five tournaments each year. Because the stu-

dents involved live in different areas, CHARGE tries to move the location.

The group started holding one of the events at First Christian Church in Morris several years ago and feels the community has been welcoming.

CHARGE depends on the community to provide judges for the two days of competition.

“It’s a good community activity,” Wolfson said. “There is no special requirements to be able to judge, and there are a number of time slots available.”

Wolfson said the tournaments are attended by students from Christian schools as well as home-schooled students, and has participants who come in from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri.

CHARGE needs more than 300 adult community volunteers Feb. 6 and 7 for the annual speech and debate contest at the First Christian Church, 455 W. Southmor Road, Morris.

No previous experience is necessary. Judges will receive an orientation that explains how to evaluate the students.

MORRIS – Sixteen-yearold Kate Warning of Minooka knows how to get her point across.

Warning, a student who is home-schooled, has participated in Chicago Christian Homeschoolers Advancing Rhetoric for Greater Effectiveness (CHARGE) speech and debate club since 2011.

“The obvious benefits have been growing skills as both a speaker and a debater,” Warning said. “It also teaches teamwork, time-management skills, and the research skills are invaluable and have helped outside of debate.”

She said it has taught her to question the evidence that is presented, not just take it at face value.

Her first year she debated flat tax, and at first, thought it was great.

Joliet applicant topped list for marijuana recommendations

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

More information

lleonecross@shawmedia.com Before leaving office, former Gov. Pat Quinn received recommendations from his administration on which businesses should receive medical marijuana licenses – but he decided not to act.

That’s according to documents released this week by Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration to Shaw Media and other media outlets.

Cresco Labs LLC, eyeing a Joliet site for its growing operation, was among the businesses ranked by the state and ranked No. 1 in Illinois State Police District 5 – comprised of Grundy, Kendall and Will counties. Fourteen companies had applied in District 5.

In all, the state scored 56 retailers and 18 businesses to sell and grow marijuana.

Top-ranked cultivation center in Illinois State Police District 5 (Will, Grundy, Kendall counties) 1. Cresco Labs LLC Top ranked dispensaries in District 25 (Grundy and Kendall counties) 1. Greenhouse Group, LLC 2. Medicann LLC 3. Serenade Leaf Global Partners Just one cultivation center will receive a permit in Illinois State Police District 5, while three dispensaries will be awarded in Will County.

There will be one dispensary in Grundy and Kendall counties.

In Grundy and Kendall counties, the top-ranked companies seeking licenses to open dispensaries were Green-

house Group LLC, Medicann LLC and Serenade Leaf Global Partners.

In Will County, the topranked companies seeking licenses to open dispensaries include Midwest Compassion Center Inc. and 3C Compassionate Care Center, which have targeted sites in Shorewood and Naperville, respectively.

Emails and other documents show Quinn was ready to award many of the licenses before he left office.

It’s unclear whether any of these rankings will change, now that Quinn decided to leave the decision to Rauner’s administration. Rauner once called the selection process “rigged,” and subject to cronyism.

An emailed statement Monday from Rauner’s office said officials would conduct

“a thorough legal review” of the process used by Quinn’s administration and “refer our findings” to the Attorney General’s office.

“No licenses will be granted until this process is thoroughly reviewed,” the statement read.

But the fact that a company eyeing Joliet found itself on top of the state’s rankings is good news, said Jim Haller, the city’s community and economic development director.

“It doesn’t hurt to be top on the list,” said Haller, who noted Cresco Labs was “one of the first” businesses to approach city officials about the prospects of having a site in Joliet.

If approved, Cresco Labs LLC is planning to build a 37,600-square-foot facility at 23224 CenterPoint Way. The 11.2 acre site would include a 42-vehicle parking lot and

John Greuling, president and CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development, said a cultivation center would bring the county new jobs and construction.

“We treat this as a new business project,” Greuling said. “Looking at this from a pure economic development standpoint, there’s new construction. New investment.

New taxes. New jobs.”

Some companies on the list were disqualified, or put on hold. While the state ranked Greenhouse Group LLC high in two separate districts in the region, the state noted that rules were violated because the company’s “revocable trust has ownership interest.”

There was no further explanation given regarding the Greenhouse application.

Ryan will complete his last weeks of chemotherapy – about 22 total – in early March.

During chemotherapy, Ryan is hospitalized for five days of treatment and returns home for the following week, before he begins the pattern again.

Ryan’s inner strength during the entire experience amazes Marcy.

“With everything he has to go through,” Marcy said, “he has the most positive attitude.”

For his part, Ryan is simply riding out this life detour.

The days of extreme fatigue and nausea appear to have passed (“I think my body is adjusting,” Ryan said), but he doesn’t naively believe they are gone.

Rather, Ryan – whose twin siblings Matt and Kellen are away at college – chooses to appreciate the good days Photo provided while realizing he might face Ryan Bernickus of Morris, who enjoys ice hockey and is a huge Chicago another struggle or two.

MORRIS – When Rick Bernickus of Morris participated in a bowling fundraising event for a colleague of his wife Marcy, he never dreamed that same event would one day help his son.

“It’s a bit surreal,” Rick said.

Ryan Bernickus, 22, of Morris, is this year’s recipient of proceeds from the third annual Bowling with the Doctor event, amended to also read, “Rollin’ 4 Ryan: Sports Extravaganza.”

“It’s a night where we all come together outside of our professional relationships and become a support for one of our own,” co-organizer Joanne Oddo said.

Oddo created this event to replace the “Doctors vs. Nurses” event that benefited Leeza’s Care Connection at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, which closed in 2014.

At that fundraiser – and at the bowling one, too – the doctors, physicians and nurse practitioners on the 7 West floor at Presence Saint Joseph compete against the orthopedic physical and occupational therapists on the same floor.

When the “Doctors vs.

Nurses” fundraiser went away, Oddo realized she missed the camaraderie among her co-workers, as well as a chance to carry their healing mission beyond the hospital walls and into a fun arena.

“For us, it’s all about patient care,” Oddo said. “But it just doesn’t stay on the floor.

It goes out into the community.”

Just $30 gets people two to three games of bowling with shoes, as well as a food buffet.

Don’t like bowling? Come out anyway, Oddo said, and make a donation; buy a raffle ticket, T-shirt or cookbook with recipes from the staff and doctors of 7 West; or eat some food.

The buffet-only option is $20.

If you change your mind and a lane opens up, Oddo will place you on a team.

BEARS EXTRA

I still don’t understand the Pro Bowl BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush GLENDALE, Ariz. – Super Bowl week is here and, quite frankly, is off to a less than rousing start.

In fact, it’s downright weird.

I’m sitting here in the press box at University of Phoenix Stadium and the white and gray jerseys are beating the black and orange jerseys – I refuse to call them Team Carter and Team Irvin – 13-9 with 12 minutes left in the second quarter. I think because it’s near impossible to keep track of which team is which, and nobody in the press box is watching the game.

I don’t think any of the sellout crowd is paying much attention either, but there was a big roar a few minutes ago during a timeout as various team mascots were taking turns beating up the Patriots mascot.

Wait, Jimmy Graham just scored a touchdown, dunked the ball over the goalposts, didn’t get flagged and now ...

you know what, forget it, I can’t tell who’s on what team or why.

With no real football to watch, I have been doing a little web surfing and I actually did just learn something.

Before there was a Pro Bowl, which began in 1950, there was an NFL All Star series from 1939 to 1942 in which the NFL champs played one more game after winning the championship against a team of league all stars, and the first game was played in Wrigley Field in Los Angeles.

I actually did know there was a Wrigley Field in Los Angeles. It was built by P.K. Wrigley, the owner of the Cubs, in south Los Angeles to house a minor league club he owned – the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League.

It also was used to film two of my favorite baseball movies, “Damn Yankees” and “Pride of the Yankees,” was the scene of the iconic Home Run Derby TV series and was the home of the major league Los Angeles Angels in 1961 for just that season, the Angels first in the American League.

The Angels actually set an

I’m sitting here in the press box at University of Phoenix Stadium and the white and gray jerseys are beating the black and orange jerseys – I refuse to call them Team Carter and Team Irvin – 13-9 with 12 minutes left in the second quarter. I think because it’s near impossible to keep track of which team is which, and nobody in the press box is watching the game.

MLB record there that still stands today with 71 wins, the most ever by a first-year expansion club.

The NFL All Star game I didn’t know about, but Bears fans will be pleased to learn: The Bears played in two of them and won both, 28-14 in Gilmore Stadium in Los Angeles on Dec. 29, 1940, and 35-24 in the Polo Grounds in New York on Jan. 4, 1942.

It’s 20-19 now and I have no idea who is winning, how or why?

The Pro Bowl as we know it today began in 1950 and has been played continuously ever since. From 1950 through 1971, it was played at Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.

From 1972 to 1978, it jumped from market to market being played in Irving, Texas; Kansas City; Miami; New Orleans; Seattle and Tampa before making its way back to Memorial Coliseum.

In 1979, the game was moved to Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. The players loved the switch and the all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii for them and their families, but by 2008, the game was on life support because of it basically becoming touch-rather-than-tackle football.

To try to save it, someone in the league office got the hairbrained idea to play the game the Sunday before the Super Bowl at the sight of the Super

Bowl to create new interest, and the 2009 game was played in Miami the Sunday before Super Bowl XLIV. The game still stunk, but for some reason more people watched it on TV and the game was rejuvenated.

A move back to Honolulu for the next four games played the Sunday before the Super Bowl leading up to tonight made some of the players happy, but it was still bad football.

With that as the backdrop, for some reason we are here in Arizona and a bunch of good football players are running around and putting on a show that is less entertaining than seven-on-seven passing drills teams run against themselves in training camp.

And apparently people are watching it on TV. Maybe you guys get it but I sure don’t. It’s halftime now and somebody or something called Nico & Vinz are entertaining, if you can call it that.

Bethea: Bears have winner in defensive coordinator Fangio

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com PHOENIX – Safety Antoine Bethea, who had not made the Pro Bowl in the last four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, made it in his first season with the San Francisco 49ers and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

“The Bears can expect to have a great leader who will have his guys ready to play every Sunday,” Bethea said of his former coordinator, who was hired in the same capacity by Bears head coach John Fox this week. “It was a pleasure playing for him this year.”

Bethea said Fangio’s strength with the 49ers was in preparation, but also on game day. “Just having guys in the right places at the right time,” said Bethea, a Pro Bowl player with the Colts in 2008 and 2009. “On game day, he’s on point. Right time. Putting us in the right situation.

Right calls. And just having guys in the right place where everybody can succeed.”

The 49ers’ defense consistently played at a high intensity level under Jim Harbaugh. But Fangio gets a lot of credit for that as well, Bethea said.

“When you have a coach that everybody respects and loves,

you want to play hard for him – that’s what he had,” Bethea said. “He had the respect of all the guys on the defensive side of the field and we didn’t want to let him down.”

2. Bears tight end Martellus Bennett knows he didn’t make the Pro Bowl on his own. Bennett called quarterback Jay Cutler and running back Matt Forte to thank them for helping him get there.

And he paid to have his tight ends coach, Andy Bischoff, fly to Phoenix for the game. Bischoff, however, is looking for work after Marc Trestman was fired following the season.

“He’s a big part of why I’m here,” Bennett said. “I won’t get to play with him again, so it will be the last time for us to get together and hang out and appreciate what we accomplished before he goes and finds a new job.”

2a. Bennett said Bischoff was a big help to him “not just as a coach, but as a friend. There were some things I felt I needed to work on and I’d write them down and he’ll make sure that we worked on all those things.

We made sure we got better at those things.”

Bischoff, he said, didn’t just coach. He listened. “[Against the Patriots] it was like, ‘Coach, this week we’ve got

to work on our releases more than anything else because we’re playing the Patriots.

Ninkovich is one of the best guys at jamming off the line.’ That whole week we put in extra time on our releases and Ninkovich didn’t touch me once. So different things like that in a game – each week seeing what we needed to work on and going for those things.”

3. New Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase had prolific offenses in his two seasons as the Broncos’ offensive coordinator – first in the NFL in points and yards in 2013 and second in points and fourth in yards in 2014. But when Peyton Manning is the quarterback, it’s hard to tell how much credit the coordinator deserves.

“I think he’s a great offensive mind,” Broncos Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady said. “He was calling the plays for the most part. Peyton can make a check here and there – but 85-90 percent of the time, Gase is calling the play. I think he’s going to do a great job [with the Bears]. I think he’s eventually going to be a head coach some day.”

4. Colts placekicker Adam Vinatieri, who played six of his 10 seasons in New England for Bill Belichick, was diplomatic when

asked about the “Deflate-gate” controversy that has dominated the NFL this week.

“He’s a heck of a coach. And I think in this league everybody’s looking for a competitive edge,” said Vinatieri, who at 42 made the Pro Bowl for the first time since 2004. “There’s probably a fine line and a gray area. I’ll let everybody judge what that means or how they feel about it – if in fact things were done [improperly].

“I know him as a heck of a coach that gets his team prepared to play. Will this change people’s perspectives? That’s for them to decide, not for me. I’ve got a ton of respect for the man. I think he’s a great, great coach.”

5. Tight end Greg Olsen, a firsttime Pro Bowl player in his eighth NFL season, was not a happy camper when he was traded by the Bears on the eve of training camp in 2011. But after four years with Ron Rivera and the Carolina Panthers, he says it worked out for the best.

“I do. I really do. I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” said Olsen, who had 84 receptions for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns last season. “Chicago was my home for four years. I have a lot of fond memories. I still keep in

touch with a lot of the guys. I’m thankful to the organization for taking a chance and drafted me.

“But I’ve moved on to Charlotte and have made a home there. I’m just glad. Things have worked out for everybody. We’ve become a part of the Charlotte community. We love playing for that organization. They’ve been amazing to my family, both personally and professionally. We’ve got great guys on the team. Our coaching staff is fantastic, led by coach Rivera.

It’s really an ideal situation.”

6. Olsen reunited with former teammate Devin Hester this week– they are teammates on “Team Carter” at the Pro Bowl.

In 2009, Olsen (60-612, eight touchdowns) and Hester (57-757, three touchdowns) were the leading receivers for Jay Cutler.

It was almost old-home week, as former Bears wide receivers coach Darryl Drake, now the receivers coach for the Cardinals, stopped by to meet both former players.

“Devin is awesome,” Olsen said. “This is my third different team playing with Devin – college [at Miami], pro and now the Pro Bowl – so that’s kind of cool.

It’s been fun. He’s been a good friend and a guy I’ve known for a long time.”

Redskins rally past Golden Warriors in second half

Morris Daily Herald / morrisdailyherald.com • Tuesday, January 27, 2015

16

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After trailing 2015 at halftime, the Morris girls basketball team used a strong second half to dispose of Northern Illinois Big 12 rival Sterling on Saturday night.

Jessica Ponce scored six of her nine points in the third quarter as the Redskins erased the halftime deficit and took a 29-28 lead into the fourth quarter.

“We had more energy in the second half,” Ponce said.

“We were trying to get stops on defense and get back in the game, and we did. We knew we needed to stop No. 12 [Sterling’s Gaby Sandoval]. We talked more on defense and that helped.”

Sterling took a 30-29 lead early in the fourth, but Leona Burton tied the game with a

ling hit a pair of free throws, Jessica Jurak scored on a putback, Julie Jurasits scored underneath and Ponce hit from the lane. That gave Morris a 10-point lead with 2:11 remaining. They led 42-32 with 1:17 to go and hung on down the stretch. Jurak’s two free throws with 3 seconds remaining provided the final score of 47-41.

“It wasn’t the prettiest win, but we’ll take it,” Morris assistant coach Rochelle Claire said. “We didn’t do a lot different in the second half. We just made more shots. Sterling only had 20 points at halftime, Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media which is a good job on defense Morris’ Jessica Jurak prepares to shoot a free throw during Saturday by us.

Also, when our point guard [Shannon] was in foul trouble and had to sit for a while, Jessica stepped right in as point guard and did a good job.”

Morris opened the second half on a 9-1 run, turning a 20-15 deficit into a 24-21 lead.

They held the lead for the rest of the third quarter.

Jurasits led the Redskins with 16 points, while Jurak scored 10 and Ponce had nine.

Shannon and Burton each scored five points and Burling added two.

“It was one of those wins that wasn’t pretty, but we’ll definitely take the win,” Ponce said.

BOYS BASKETBALL: MORRIS 66, STERLING 56

Quick start helps lead Redskins past Golden Warriors

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In their last couple of home games, the Morris boys basketball team has faced an early deficit. Against both DeKalb and LaSalle-Peru, the Redskins were behind 8-0 before they could score.

On Saturday night, they reversed the trend, racing out to an 8-0 lead over Sterling and extending it to 17-7 at the end of the first quarter. The lead expanded to 26-9 when Morris opened the second on a 9-2 run on two 3-pointers by Austin Patterson and one by Cody Niewinski. Then, using Evan Bjelland’s 9 of 10 performance from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter, Morris held off a late Sterling rally to claim a 66-56 Northern Illinois Big 12 win.

“We took the floor with a lot more energy tonight,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “We executed our offense and shot the ball well.

“We focused on getting off to a good start, which we did.

Unfortunately, we did not play

Austin Patterson led the Redskins (14-6, 5-3) with 24 points, while Bjelland added 17. Jake Walker scored nine points, with Griffin Sobol scoring seven and Jacob Jurasits six. Cody Niewinski added three for Morris.

After holding a 26-9 lead

in the second quarter, the Redskins took a 28-17 edge into halftime. A 10-0 spurt to start the third quarter featured two straight 3-pointers by Walker and a pair of free throws each

by Bjelland and Patterson, bringing the lead to 38-17. After a putback by Jurasits made the score 40-20 in favor of the

Redskins, Sterling went on a 13-4 run to end the third quarter and pull to within 44-33 entering the fourth.

“Sometimes, we get the mentality when we have the lead that giving up baskets is acceptable because we still have the lead,” Blumberg said.

“That is a good way to lose a lead.

“But, we are coming off a stretch when we had five conference games in nine days, so I think that maybe we were a little mentally gassed. Now, we have a full week to prepare for a game Friday at Kaneland.”

In the fourth quarter, Sterling attempted a comeback by fouling the Redskins. Bjelland thwarted that strategy by going 9 of 10 from the foul line in the final minutes. Earlier in the quarter, Morris, which had been shooting almost exclusively from the perimeter, got two baskets underneath from Sobol and one by Jurasits, forcing the Sterling defense to honor the post and loosening things up outside.

“In the fourth quarter, they were flying out to our shoot-

ers,” Blumberg said. “We wanted to look into the post.

Griffin and JJ both finished strong and Jackson Shannon had a real good kickout pass for a three.

“We still need to work on our defense late. We gave up 16 points in the third quarter and 23 in the fourth. We want to hold teams to under 20 in a half and under 40 in a game, so that’s not good enough. We did do a good job of inbounding the ball to spots and getting it in the hands of our best freethrow shooters.”

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks look to gain momentum in the second half of the season

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Jonathan Toews admitted to being a little wary of all the responsibilities – drafting a team, slotting players in the skills competition, playing a game, plus all the media attention – he was facing as an All-Star Game captain.

“I wouldn’t say nervousness, but just excitement – maybe anxiety – surrounding the whole experience,” Toews said.

But he wound up thoroughly enjoying himself and embracing the silliness of the whole weekend in Columbus, Ohio. So even though he and his four Blackhawks teammates in the All-Star Game didn’t get to spend their break at home with their families or on a tropical island somewhere, they feel recharged all the same.

“We’re around the rink and stuff like that, but it’s still pret-

ty relaxed,” said defenseman Brent Seabrook, who had his wife and son with him in Columbus. “I think the NHL has done a good job of not clouding our schedule too much. We’ve had a lot of downtime, so it’s been nice.”

Good thing, too, because reality comes swiftly in the form of the annual ice-show trip. The Hawks headed Monday to Los Angeles for a couple of days of practice before visiting the defending Stanley Cup champion Kings on Wednesday, the league-leading Anaheim Ducks on Friday and the always-dangerous San Jose Sharks on Saturday. Then come games at the Minnesota Wild, Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues before they finally see the inside of the United Center again.

The stretch run is here.

“It’s not going to be easy,” Toews said. “We knew that going into this weekend. It’s almost better that we don’t

have a long break. I think it’s great to have a few days, but you don’t want to get too far removed from being in season and tease yourself with relaxing for a few too many days. I think the guys will come back and use this break the right way. We’ll be excited to play [this] week.”

The Hawks have enjoyed plenty of success on these lengthy trips. They went 5-1-0 on the circus trip in the fall, sparking by far their best stretch of the season. They went 3-1-2 on the ice-show trip and 6-1-0 on the circus trip last season. And their 4-0-2 iceshow trip was the springboard to their record 21-0-3 start in 2013.

“Usually we’re good because we focus on one game at a time, try not to look too far ahead,” winger Patrick Kane said. ‘‘That’s the biggest thing with these. We’ve had success in the past. Hopefully, that’ll continue.”

Minooka boys bowling claims sectional title

By JULIE BUCK Community Foundation of Grundy County executive director MORRIS – As you may have heard, the Community Foundation of Grundy County is moving.

Since I came on staff in 2003, we have rented office space – first in the Baum Building and then at 102 Liberty St. Now that We Care of Grundy County has purchased a building on Route 6, that opens up their condo in the Canalport Community Center and now we are purchasing it – we’ll finally have a permanent home.

We’re excited to be moving into the nonprofit hub that is the Canalport Community Center. Our neighbors will be Grundy Community Volunteer Hospice, Morris Theater Guild, Christian Youth Center and Grundy County Historical Society. CCC was known

as the Coleman Hardware Building and we’re hoping to use our remodeling to restore some of the original industrial feel.

According to Wikipedia, “The ‘U’-shaped building has three distinct wings surrounding a gravel courtyard.

J. H. Hall constructed the building in 1873, intending to use it as a furniture factory, but his company went bankrupt before he could begin production. The Sherwood School Furniture Company moved into the building soon afterward and made extensive improvements to the structure in 1874. The company added a new foundry building, put an addition on the original building, and built a new smokestack.

The Sherwood Company brought economic prosperity to Morris by employing 140 new workers and purchasing resources from other local industries. The building’s

location on the Illinois & Michigan Canal helped the company grow, as it used the canal to transport goods and as a water source.

In 1876, the company built a new structure to replace a building lost to a fire; this structure is now the building’s south wing. The company changed its name to the Ohio Butt Company in 1880 and then changed it again to the Coleman Hardware Company in 1887, after president Joseph G. Coleman. During this time, the company changed its production from furniture to cast iron fixtures and other hardware. The company was sold in 1935, and the factory was sold along with it; it has since been used by various industrial companies and is now a community center.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1994.”

If you have any photos, documents, or items from these old businesses, we’d love to have them.

In addition to the historic remodeling, we also are expanding the concept of a “nonprofit hub” by converting the current food pantry space into three small “satellite” offices for agencies who serve Grundy County but are not based here – agencies who need a part-time place to serve clients without the cost of a full-time rental space.

Each office will have a desk, chair, phone, internet access, an area for displaying materials, and access to storage, a small shared conference room, a copy/ print room, and the large existing community conference room down the hall. Details of rent and scheduling have yet to be worked out, but we already have had calls from interested agencies and we will brainstorm with them

how best to use the space so that it is useful for all.

And to repeat for those who don’t know, there is already an 18-by-27 foot conference room in the CCC that is available for community groups to use. It fits about 30 people. For now, call We Care at 815- 942-6389 to check its availability.

We Care expects to be out by the end of February and we hope to move in around June 1. We’ll have an open house shortly thereafter – we hope you can come.

In the meantime, business continues here as usual. We continue to convene networks, give grants, and serve donors who want to use donor-designed funds to meet their charitable goals.

To talk about any of these services or to ask about the upcoming “satellite” offices, call us at 815-941-0852 or email me at julie@cfgrundycounty.com.

OPINION

Illinois voters getting the change they voted for Gov. Bruce Rauner didn’t completely close the door to higher taxes last week during a speech at the University of Chicago, but he made it very clear with what he said and what he did that he wants huge state budget cuts.

“We have every reason to thrive,” Rauner said during the speech. He then laid out his reasoning for why the state is on a “fundamentally unsustainable path,” pointing his finger at the “policies and the politics mostly coming out of Springfield [which are] really at the core of the problem.”

“The politicians want to talk about ‘Well, let’s raise the income tax to fix the debt or the problem,’ ” Rauner said. “Raising taxes will come nowhere near to fixing the problem and in fact will make part of the problem worse and just kick the can down the road. ... This is the critical lesson that we’re seeing.

We’re on an unsustainable path, we need fundamental structural change and raising taxes alone in itself isn’t going to fix the problem and in a lot of ways it’s going to make it worse.”

Rauner said the budget was “out of control,” and that the state has suffered “complete mismanagement.”

“Just raising taxes to try to fix that? No chance. No chance,” Rauner said.

Notice how he said “just raising taxes,” and “raising taxes alone.” Those are usually phrases uttered by politicians who are keeping the door open for higher revenues, however slightly.

The new governor pointed to flat population growth and flat job growth as the roots of the problem. Without “booming” growth, he said, Illinois can never dig itself out of the hole it’s in. And Rauner al-

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller ways has said that high taxes are a hindrance to growth.

Also last week, Rauner announced he had hired Donna Arduin to be the state’s new chief financial officer. Arduin is infamous for her ideological position that tax cuts and budget cuts are key to turning around state economies. Her consulting business partner is Arthur Laffer, whose economic theories were used by former President Ronald Reagan to justify tax cuts during a recession and a major defense buildup.

Arduin’s consulting firm’s most recent high-profile project was Kansas, where tax cuts have created gaping budget holes and a sputtering economy. Rauner said during a campaign debate that he didn’t want to follow Kansas’ lead, but, for now anyway, he seems to be heading at least partially in that direction.

Arduin also is credited for the job she did in California under Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. But it took Schwarzenegger’s Democratic successor Jerry Brown to cut programs to the bone, which finally convinced Californians to support higher taxes. California now has a budget surplus.

She has had successes, Michigan and Florida being two of them. But those successes came with a whole lot of pain inflicted on the poor.

Illinois voters clearly wanted a change last November. They’re gonna get it.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Lead low I like, high I dislike

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Joy Bryant, an actress and former fashion model, said, “I kind of do high-low style a lot.”

At the bridge table, defenders should do a lot of high and low to win style and scorecard points. When defenders use normal signals and discards, an unnecessarily high card is encouraging and the lowest card is discouraging.

But when leading a suit, the opposite applies. A low card from length guarantees at least one honor in the suit and announces a desire to try to win tricks in that suit. But with a weak suit, one leads high.

How do those agreements apply in this deal? South is in three notrump, and West is on lead.

A reliable rule is never to play in two no-trump with a long suit opposite some fit. Either get into the suit at the three-level (if possible) or go for three no-trump.

West leads the spade five.

Declarer takes East’s 10 with his king and plays a club. What should West do now?

South is marked with the spade queen, and almost certainly East would have raised spades with four-card support. So West needs to get East on lead for a spade return through declarer.

The only hope, despite South’s bid in the suit, is the diamond ace.

West should shift to that suit and must lead the nine, his highest card denying interest in that suit. (See tomorrow’s column for the antithesis of this.)

East wins with his ace and leads his spade seven, top of a remaining doubleton. Now the contract goes down two. **

Woman isn’t really attracted to the man of her dreams Dear Abby: I am considered to be a quite attractive – easily a nine or a 10 – professional dancer here in Las Vegas. I recently met a guy who has literally met almost all my dream qualities for a life partner, husband and father of my future children.

The problem is, I’m not attracted to him. He’s not ugly; he has symmetrical features, straight teeth, nice skin and is in pretty good shape, if a little on the skinny side. I have always dated muscular, very fit men who get me excited at the sight of them, and I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with me because after nine months I’m still struggling with his looks.

I feel like there is no sexual

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips chemistry. But we have another kind of chemistry because we get along great, and he motivates me to be a better person.

Am I shallow, or is the lack of sexual chemistry a sign that maintaining a successful long-term relationship won’t happen? – Miss Picky in Las Vegas Dear Miss Picky: I’m not going to call you shallow. Whether lack of sexual chemistry is a deal-breaker for you depends upon how important sex is to you. From what you have told

me, looks are a primary factor in what draws you to men. (It would be interesting to know how long the relationships you described lasted.)

Bear in mind that men who are Adonises can lose their looks if they don’t consistently work at it – just as women do.

Much as we might wish it, looks don’t always last forever.

That’s why, if you’re looking for a long-term relationship, it’s extremely important to take into consideration qualities that will last.

Dear Abby: My 67-year-old mother has vascular dementia and breast cancer. In accordance with her living will and many conversations we had before the dementia began, we (Mom, my sisters and I) have

decided to forgo treatment. She has been widowed for 17 years; she watched her husband – our father – die from cancer. She lives in an excellent health care facility that will provide her with palliative care when the time is right.

My question is, how do we inform people (family and friends) of her diagnosis and of our treatment plan?

Without knowing the whole story, without having seen her very recently, it seems everyone has an opinion on what we “should” do. How do we tell these people that, while we appreciate their concern, this is her decision without hurting their feelings and our relationships? – Family With a Dilemma

Dear Dilemma: How do these unwanted advice givers know that you do not plan to subject your mother to treatments that would only prolong her decline? If you solicited their opinion, you made a mistake.

If you didn’t, then the last sentence of your letter – if said kindly – is an appropriate way to phrase the message.

Your mother’s treatment plan is nobody’s business but yours and your sisters’. If these are her wishes as stated in her advance directive for health care, then you should respect them. To do otherwise would be a betrayal of her trust.
