MORRIS – Members of the Morris Community High School Redskins speech team are talking their way through the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference as they compete in tournaments throughout the area.

Senior Cole Enervold has performed on the speech team since his freshman year and said the team has made him more outgoing.

“I love going up and performing,” Enervold said. “I have a good time with it. I enjoy watching all the other students as well.”

Enervold’s love of the activity flowed over to his friend, senior Jake Hesslau, their sophomore year when he asked Hesslau to perform a speech with him.

“In English in eighth grade, we read a short play, so when Cole said why don’t we compete with it, I agreed,” Hesslau said.

“I fell in love with [speech].”

Enervold said he likes portraying characters who are nothing like him. He said he has portrayed a football coach, and last year, he had to be a tough cop – roles he said couldn’t be further from his real personality.

“The more out there the role, the more interested in the acting event I am,” he said.

While Enervold prefers to perform acting roles, Hesslau performs in radio speaking and original oratory.

In radio speaking he is given a packet of news and 45 minutes to prepare a newscast with the given information, deciding

what to use and what to leave out. He has to create a five-minute “broadcast” with the information given.

“Radio is not like public speaking at all,” he said. “You don’t see the judge at all, it’s a cut-and-dry reading newscast.”

Coach and high school English teacher Andrea Gustafson said she is amazed every year when she thinks back to when her seniors were freshmen.

“They come in to speech team thinking it’s like junior high speech, and they have a lot of fears and unknowns,” Gustafson said. “What I love is how passionate they become about speech.”

Gustafson evaluates the skills of each member and puts them in the category that best fits each one’s personality and speech abilities.

Senior Jessica Carey said she loves the dramatic acting events, which also fits with her other extracurricular activities – performing in the fall play and at the Morris Theatre Guild.

“I love getting up there and performing as someone not at all like me,” she said. “It’s most important to make the performance as real as it can be by connecting with the character.”

The Redskins speech team started the year off with a firstplace finish Jan. 10 at the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference Speech Tournament in Geneseo. The Redskins finished in first place with 87 points.

Farm Bureau encourages farm bill program sign-up Deadline for step one of enrollment is Feb. 27

By JESSICA BOURQUE

Farm bill enrollment To complete step one of enrollment into farm bill programs, visit the Grundy County Farm Service Agency at 3605 N. State Route 47, Morris

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Navigating and enrolling in new programs offered through the 2013 farm bill is on the to-do lists of many local farmers as federally-mandated deadlines draw near.

To aid local farmers on their decision-making journey, the Grundy County Farm Bureau organized a Farm Bill Program last week. The event featured a panel of experts that explained some of the major updates to the farm bill and laid out important deadlines.

“We were trying to provide as much information as possible to farmers so that they can make decisions that will be

best for their farms and their fields,” Grundy County Farm Bureau Manager Tasha Bunting said Monday.

Understanding the labyrinthine legislation is not easy.

The 2013 farm bill underwent a lot of changes before its passage in February 2014.

“I think it was probably overwhelming for pretty much everybody there,” Bunting said of the 70 local farmers who attended the program.

“It is quite a bit different from the last farm bill.”

Officially known as the Agriculture Act of 2013, the farm bill is a far-reaching piece of legislation. It encompasses ev-

The Grundy County Farm Bureau recently held a program to let local farmers know major changes to the federal farm bill and let them know about some federally-mandated deadlines that are drawing near. erything from health and nutrition programs for the poor; labels and packaging for food; and risk management options for farmers, among a myriad of other policies.

The new Agriculture Act

replaces the 2008 farm bill as the legislation is traditionally updated every five years.

Congress spent more than three years debating the 2013 farm bill after prolonged negotiations regarding food stamp

funding.

One thing Congress readily agreed on was the expansion of the government-subsidized crop insurance program, which directly affects farmers. Crop insurance is a risk management mechanism protecting farmers from unforeseen disasters.

The new farm bill adds three new crop insurance programs and provisions, and expands the existing crop insurance funding, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

Those insurance programs replace the long-standing direct payment subsidies, which supported farmers for almost two decades.

This means farmers have several new and complicated options to choose from when it comes to protecting their fields.

Bunting said last week’s event was meant to be a tool

Upgrades being done at Grundy County Courthouse

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – It has been recommended by board committees that the Grundy County Board buy X-ray equipment to be used for security at the courthouse.

The full County Board is expected to vote on it at its February meeting.

The lowest bid, for $21,686, was submitted by Autoclear LLC in Hawthorn Woods.

“The X-ray machine is at least 12 years old,” Sheriff Kevin Callahan said. “The maintenance costs on the current machine are high, and the parts are getting harder to find. It’s just not doing a good job.”

Callahan said while it works, it has to be powered down and turned back on to keep it working at times.

“I don’t want to miss anything coming into the court-

POLICE REPORTS Note to readers: Information in Police Reports is obtained from local police departments and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office.

Individuals listed in Police Reports who have been charged with a crime have not been proven guilty in court.

Morris Trent Harseim, 37, of Morris, was arrested by Morris police Wednesday on a charge of driving under the influence. He posted bond and was released with a Feb. 23 court date.

Minooka David Sanchez-Castro, 43, of Coal City, was arrested by Minooka police Monday on a charge of driving under the influence. He posted bond and was released pending a court date.

house,” Callahan said.

Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said the county needs to get a reliable machine.

“The current one is hard to keep updated. A new system will detect items the old machine didn’t,” Welter said.

“It’s about safety and reliability.”

The sheriff said he looked at the changes for the past year, but because of capital improvement projects being put on hold by the County Board

in 2014, and the capital improvement line being removed from the sheriff’s budget, he didn’t move forward with the purchase.

The board now has to vote on any capital improvement projects that fall outside the department’s budget.

Callahan also said he replaced the metal detector at the entrance to the courthouse, but was able to order that from the department’s budget at a cost of about $1,400.

“The new metal detector

was delivered today,” Callahan said Wednesday. “The old one is at least 10 years old and didn’t work properly, it kept giving false alarms and the counter didn’t work.”

Callahan also is looking to install a ramp from the doorway to the new machines at the entrance to the courthouse.

He said he spoke with engineer Guy Christensen from Chamlin & Associates and found out there was enough room to install it for Americans with Disabilities Act re-

quirements. But the county needs to look further into the closet below the entryway to see if it can structurally be constructed.

The current chairlift is not working and people with disabilities have to use another entrance to the courthouse.

Callahan said there is the ramp outside the courthouse, but it doesn’t help if visitors can’t get up the stairs inside the building.

He will be discussing this with the board in the future.

OPINION

11 Morris Daily Herald / morrisdailyherald.com • Thursday, January 29, 2015

Life, love on the march “I wouldn’t have even VIEWS considered abortion if it weren’t legal.”

Kathryn Jean A woman was Lopez speaking about her own experience in front of the Supreme Court on the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the decision that made abortion legal in the United States. The rally was organized by a group called Silent No More. And as the young people who, on Jan. 22, flooded the nation’s capital for March for Life, coming from North Dakota, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Florida, and all over the Northeast, got back on their buses to head home, her testimony echoed.

This year, for the first time in my two decades of going to the march, I witnessed an altercation of sorts. A small number of pro-abortion activists stopped the crowd in its tracks, not wanting it to advance.

After warnings to disperse from police officers, the abortion activists were arrested, and the people with the permit marched onward as they do each year.

But roadblocks from those who support abortion weren’t the only obstacles facing the pro-life cause. In the run-up to the march, a Republican congresswoman insisted that voting on a bill that would seek to restrict late-term abortions would hurt the GOP with millennial voters, a much-soughtafter constituency.

First of all, protecting the most vulnerable should be a nonpartisan, human rights priority. But on this particular issue, there aren’t even matters of prudence to give politicians pause. A just-released Marist poll found that 84 percent of Americans think banning abortions after three months is a good idea – including seven in 10 people who describe themselves as “pro-choice.” Too bad the GOP representative didn’t stand on the stage of the March and see what I did: a sea of millennials and people even younger, wanting life, love and something more than the culture of death we have grown used to and even nourished.

As I write, a young woman named Sade Patterson is being celebrated by the annual Students for Life conference. She and her pro-life group on her college campus, like others around the country, are working to make their campuses more hospitable to life.

“Motherhood is one of the most important and beautiful gifts,” Patterson, a student at the University of New Mexico, tells me. “I am surprised at how natural it is to step into this journey,” she says. “I had so many doubts and fears, but every day is a new lesson. Yes, it is hard to be a mother, a full-time student, work and still have time for things I love to do, but it is also empowering to know that I am capable and strong enough to do this.”

These are just snapshots of the human face of the pro-life movement. One that politicians clearly need to encounter more because there is beauty to be found there, one that government can aid, not impede.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR DON’T REDUCE STATE FUNDING OF HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS To the Editor: Since the election of Bruce Rauner as governor, there has been much speculation regarding his action on the state’s budget. Human service providers that receive funding from the state are very concerned.

This sector has been informed that the only programs that will continue to receive funding are those that are mandated, court-ordered, or reimbursed

by Medicaid. All other agencies are at very high risk of losing funding which supports our services.

The Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living provides a vast array of one-of-a-kind services to people with any disability of any age. One of the most important programs we provide is our Community Reintegration Program. In this program, we assist eligible people with disabilities in leaving

nursing homes and moving into their own residences. On average, the state pays between $35,000 to $72,000 annually to keep someone in a nursing home. When that person is reintegrated into the community, the annual cost to the state is roughly $10,000 to $12,000.

The savings to the state are obvious; they can be measured in dollars. The freedom that a person with a disability enjoys living in their own residence is priceless.

Perhaps Springfield needs to be “shaken up.” However, slashing the budgets of human service providers that literally save the lives of thousands of Illinoisans would be senseless.

Such actions will result in more

unemployment, a negative impact on local and state economies, and a lack of service for thousands of persons with disabilities, domestic violence victims, homeless citizens, etc.

The governor and legislators must ask themselves if this is the direction in which the state should go.

Elected officials must craft a budget that does not reduce state funding of human service organizations that provide valuable services. It is your responsibility to locate resources that will support these vital programs.

Saratoga wins regional title vs. crosstown rival

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – “Never Die Easy” is the name of Walter Payton’s autobiography, but that phrase can just as well describe the Saratoga seventh-grade boys basketball team after Wednesday night’s 26-25 win over Shabbona in the IESA Class 7-3A Shabbona Regional title game.

Saratoga (15-6) trailed, 2516, entering the fourth quarter, but held Shabbona scoreless while scoring 10 points to pull out the win.

The Hawks chipped away at the Braves’ lead all through the fourth quarter. When Cole Laurie made a 3-pointer – the only 3-point shot the Hawks attempted – with 2:40 to play, it brought Saratoga to within 25-23.

Shabbona called timeout with 2:04 to play to set up an offensive play, but missed its shot. Saratoga got the rebound and fed the ball down low to Zach Reddinger. Reddinger made the shot, which tied the score at 25, and was fouled with 1:04 to play. He stepped to the free-throw line and completed the threepoint play to give the Hawks the lead.

Shabbona’s Evan Briones attempted a 3-pointer, but it missed the mark. Saratoga’s Matt Lopez got the rebound, and the Hawks called timeout. The Braves, however, forced a turnover on the inbounds pass Gabe Huffman, who led Shabbona with nine points, missed a shot underneath, but teammate Brandon Phelps got the rebound and was fouled while attempting to shoot. He missed both free throws, and Reddinger got the rebound for Saratoga.

With 14.8 seconds left, Laurie went to the line for a one-and-one, but missed the front end and Shabbona’s Andrew Hipes pulled down the

The Braves got the ball past halfcourt and called timeout, but they were called for traveling with 3.9 seconds left, giving the ball back to Saratoga.

“We knew it was going to be a dogfight,” Saratoga coach Matt Blaine said. “I told the kids at halftime they just had to keep fighting.

They kept battling and they are a gritty bunch of basketball players.

“They have never played in front of a crowd like this.

This was a great atmosphere.

It’s so loud in this gym. There are a lot of high school games that aren’t this loud, so it was a great experience for them.”

Shabbona opened the game by scoring the first five points, on a basket by Colby Kingsbury and a 3-pointer by Briones. Saratoga closed to within 5-4 by the end of the first quarter on a pair of free throws by Jack Walker and a basket by Reddinger. The

Huffman converted a threepoint play. After a Laurie basket, Huffman scored again to make it 23-16 and Hipes ended the quarter with a basket.

Reddinger scored the first basket in the fourth for Saratoga, then Walker scored and later hit a free throw to make it 25-20 with 3:17 to go.

“In our last game, we took quite a few 3-pointers, and Jack Walker made four or five,” Blaine said. “They kind of took that away from us tonight, but Cole Laurie had ice in his veins when he made that one that he took.

And Zach Reddinger has been our guy all year. He got the big bucket when we needed it and that free throw was huge.

Third-quarter surge powers Indians past Wildcats

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – A couple weeks ago, the Minooka girls blitzed Plainfield Central off the getgo and breezed to a Southwest Prairie Conference victory.

On Tuesday night, the rematch was a different story.

Well, for a half, anyway.

After scoring the final five points of the second quarter to take a 16-14 halftime lead, Minooka scored 18 consecutive points in the third quarter to open a 34-14 lead and coasted to a 50-24 victory.

In a quirk of scheduling, the Indians (17-5, 8-2) will conclude the regular season with four SPC road games. This game was it for their home floor.

“It was a little bittersweet,” said 5-foot-10 senior Kelly Carnagio, a four-year varsity regular who led Minooka with 18 points. “It seems like I’ve been playing here forever.

“We had a lot better ball

movement in the second half, and we played with more confidence. It was more our game, more the way we play.”

Minooka scored the 18 straight points to open the third quarter in less than five minutes. Those points came while the Indians forced four turnovers and Central missed four shots. Included in the barrage were three traditional 3-point plays.

Alexis Pease, who scored 11 points, got the run started with a 3-pointer, one of her three on the night.

“Alexis is our best outside shooter,” Minooka coach Ray Liberatore said. “When she gets in a good rhythm, she can knock it down.”

Carnagio had seven points, Sydney Arlis six and Brooke Lynn Bachmann two in the 18-0 haymaker.

“Sometimes, we don’t get Kelly the ball down low enough,” Liberatore said of Carnagio. “She’s has been

a pleasure to have for four years.”

Arlis, meanwhile, finished with 10 points and played strong defense against Central’s top scorer, Hennessey Handy, who finished with 13 points. Handy missed the first Minooka game.

“Part of making a run like we had is not letting the other team score much,” Liberatore said. “Sydney [Arlis] did a nice job on Handy. She’s versatile.

We’ll match her up against anyone in our conference.”

One of Minooka’s remaining SPC games is against league leader Oswego East, which also has a game left against Oswego, another team in the hunt.

“Oswego East is the toughest opponents we have left, but we’re ready for them,” Carnagio said. “We’ve got all road Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media games, but we’ll hang in there.

Everyone is pumped up. We’re Minooka’s Kelly Camagio eyes the basket as she shoots over the arms know we’re good – we have to of Plainfield Central’s Bailee McDaniel during Tuesday’s game in Miprove it.” nooka. The Indians won, 50-24.

AREA ROUNDUP

Morris bowlers remain unbeaten in Northern Big 12 conference action STAFF REPORTS MORRIS – That’s seven up and seven down for the Morris girls bowling team as far as Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference opponents go.

On Tuesday, the Redskins vanquished Kaneland, 3,4972,323, with senior Taylor Warwick leading the charge. Warwick finished with games of 244, 202 and 211 for a 657 series.

SUPER BOWL XLIX: SEATTLE VS. ENGLAND, 5:30 P.M. SUNDAY, NBC

also sent me out the door, too, and I remember that. We’ve maintained over the years a very respectful relationship and he’s done a remarkable job.”

And Belichick is a Carroll guy, too.

“Good. Great. Not a coach in the NFL I respect more than Pete Carroll,” Belichick said.

“He’s a tremendous coach. He and I have kind of come up together in roughly the same era. We’ve both been defensive coordinators, we’ve both been head coaches. I have a ton of respect for what Pete does as a coach, how good of a fundamental teacher he is, the way his teams play. I’ve learned a lot from what he does, and indirectly, I think he’s made me a better coach.”

Of course there are the other similarities.

Belichick was found to have violated league rules in “Spygate” and was fined $500,000, and the Patriots lost a

NFL INSIDER Hub Arkush first-round draft choice. Now he is implicated, although not charged in, the deflated footballs incident, and many are calling him a cheater.

Carroll built a dynasty at USC and then had it all wiped out by findings of rampant rules violations while he skipped town just ahead of the posse to take the Seattle job.

Asked about that on media day, Carroll responded he never talks about it because he still thinks the NCAA was wrong.

Mmm huh.

Earlier this season, Seattle was fined more than $300,000 and docked two 2015 minicamp practices because of Carroll overseeing illegal practices this past summer.

I guess they both are cheaters, but only the Patriots

coach is being branded with the scarlet “C” this week. Is that because Belichick has won so much more than Carroll, or because Carroll is so much more media friendly?

Kraft is one of the most respected owners in the NFL. Has he gotten there by employing cheaters?

Kraft doesn’t think so, and said this week about the latest scandal surrounding his team: ”I want to make it clear that I believe, unconditionally, that the New England Patriots have done nothing inappropriate in this process or in violation of NFL rules.

“Tom, Bill and I have been together for 15 years. They are my guys, they are part of my family. And Bill, Tom and I have had many difficult discussions over the years, and I have never known them to lie to me.

That is why I am confident in saying what I just said.”

Carroll actually spoke out in support of Belichick on the

under-inflated balls issue.

“I’m much better versed today than I was a week or so ago.

I never checked on the whole process of how our footballs were handled until this week.

I can empathize with coach Belichick in that same way. I never have, so I can understand that he never has either.”

So where does this all leave us?

Do we want to go with all’s fair in love and war, or it ain’t cheating unless you get caught?

No, that’s not right.

Perhaps these clearly are the two best coaches and the two best teams in the NFL because they’re willing to do whatever it takes to win, and as we all know, winning isn’t the most important thing, it’s the only thing.

PHOENIX – It is impossible to experience a Super Bowl week without every story line and all of the minutest details surrounding every individual involved in the game going under the microscope and coming out analyzed to death.

So it surprises me that little or nothing at all has been written or said about the relationships and similarities between Seattle coach Pete Carroll, New England coach Bill Belichick and New England owner Robert Kraft.

Have we all forgotten that Carroll was the head coach of the Patriotss from 1997 to 1999 compiling 10-6, 9-7 and 8-8 seasons, making two trips to the playoffs and that Belichick was his successor?

Carroll is a huge fan of Kraft to this day.

“Robert (Kraft) was a really good partner to work with back in the day,” Carroll said. “He gave me an opportunity that I will always be grateful for. He

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The opening lead also is important

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Mary Webb, an English novelist who died in 1927, said, “It made me gladsome to be getting some education, it being like a big window opening.”

Over the last two days, we have seen that defensive leads in the middle of a deal may transmit important information. But that is, of course, also true of the opening lead. It should throw light on the leader’s holding in that suit.

In this deal, for example, what should West lead against three notrump?

Inexperienced players holding that North hand always want to show their diamond suit. When asked if they want to play in five diamonds, rather than in three no-trump, their answer is usually along these lines: “Oh, no, but I just wanted to tell my partner about my suit. I will bid three no-trump next.”

This, of course, is illogical thinking.

You mention a suit when you think it could be the right strain for the final contract. Here, there are far, far more deals in which three no-trump makes and five diamonds fails, than the converse.

Length rules in no-trump. West should lead a heart, not a spade. But as the suit is so weak, he must choose the nine, top of nothing.

This should steer East in the right direction. South will presumably take the first trick and run the diamond nine. East might duck this trick and take the next with his diamond king, but then he ought to shift to the spade 10. Here that works beautifully, gaining the defenders one heart and four spades.

Remember to lead high from an unbid suit without an honor in that suit. **

Woman’s love for boyfriend doesn’t spill over to his son Dear Abby: I am in a great relationship with a wonderful man, “Kevin.” He loves me very much and we get along well. I have three kids – two with special needs – and Kevin loves them and treats them like his own. He also has a son, age 6, who has cystic fibrosis.

I love Kevin and can see myself marrying him. The problem is, I don’t think I like his son. He’s a good kid, cute and funny, but I don’t feel “love” for him. I’m affectionate with my own kids, but I have to force myself to be with this boy. I am easily irritated by him and sometimes just don’t want to be bothered.

I know this sounds terrible,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips but I don’t know what I should do. I don’t want to end my relationship with Kevin because I’m so in love. But is it fair to stay with him if I don’t love his son, too? – In Conflict in

Northern California Dear In Conflict: Frankly, it depends upon whether you can learn to love the boy. You say you don’t like him. Why not? Is the reason valid? Is he mean, dishonest, spoiled or too needy? Or could it be that he’s a living reminder that your boyfriend once loved

another woman?

If your relationship is to work, you may need an attitude adjustment. Can you focus on the positive qualities the boy has? That would be a good first step. If not, then for everyone’s sake, end the relationship now.

Dear Abby: I am 12 and my mom is part of a church group (Unitarian). She recently told me she is taking me to her church where they are making pies for the homeless.

Even though this is a nice act, I don’t want to be a part of it (mainly because I am very shy around new people).

When I told my mom, she said she thought I was being rude and inconsiderate, and

that she would make me come and ground me if I didn’t go. Is there any way I can explain it to her better? – Shy Kid Dear Shy Kid: If you have already told your mother the reason is your shyness, then I can’t think of a way to state it more clearly. She may feel that your help in the project is urgently needed, which is why she’s insisting. Or, she may feel that it might help you to overcome your shyness.

Sometimes when people work together for a worthy cause they forget about themselves and their insecurities. I hope you will give it a try – if only so you won’t be grounded.

Dear Abby: Our waitress in a mid-level chain restaurant

was friendly and helpful, but her tongue was pierced with a stud. It impaired her speech, making her hard to understand and it was visible every time she spoke.

We are pretty liberal about most things, but it was difficult for us to enjoy our meal.

Would it have been OK for us to ask for a different waitress?

– Put Off in Tennessee Dear Put Off: Yes. If you preferred that another server help you, it was within your rights to ask for one or ask to be moved to a table in another section of the restaurant.
