Mazon fire district names veteran firefighter Thomas Sereno Jr. chief

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MAZON – For 34 years, Thomas Sereno Jr. has been fighting fires, hoping one day to be named chief of the volunteer fire district where he has served.

On Jan. 1, Sereno’s dream came true as he became the fire chief of the Mazon Fire Protection District.

“I wanted to give it a try; I’ve held every other position,” Sereno said.

His daughter Melissa Pumphrey, also a volunteer firefighter for Mazon, said he’s the perfect man for the job.

“I know from experience at a scene with him that he is

a great leader,” she said. “He is someone you can trust, and that is what you need on the outside when you are inside fighting the fire, you have to trust your leader to get you out.”

Thomas She said when she got Sereno Jr. the text message from her dad Dec. 28, letting her know he had been chosen, she let out a scream.

“I was actually screaming when I found out,” she said.

“I was so relieved. I know it’s something he’s wanted.”

Sereno said one of the first things he wants to work on is

said no question is a stupid question.”

She said he makes the training fun and hands on, which helps her and her fellow firefighters learn.

“He just wants to teach, it’s what he’s always done,” she said.

Pumphrey said her dad has seen a lot in his 34 years of serving and brings the experience from both big fires small fires to the classroom when he explains how to safely react to a situation.

“He knows his stuff,” she said. “He’s lived through so many fires.”

The position of chief became open after former Chief James Seerup resigned.

Fire in Morris home causes $300,000 in damage

By SHAW MEDIA MORRIS – Two people have been displaced by a fire Monday night that caused extensive damage to a home in Morris.

The Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District was notified at 9:40 p.m. Monday of a structure fire at 421 W. Jackson St. The first engine company arrived within two minutes of the initial alarm to find a two-story residence with heavy fire and smoke, according to a news release from the fire district, with the fire already reaching the second floor.

“Fire companies made an aggressive interior attack with two large hand lines, but had to withdraw to the outside due to the volume of fire,” according to the news release. “Firefighters started a defensive attack by placing the tower ladder in operation to bring the fire under control.

Fire companies re-entered the building and extinguished the

remaining fire.”

The fire response was elevated to a full still alarm and was assisted by Coal City, Braidwood, Dwight, Lisbon, Elwood, Gardner, Channahon, Minooka, Troy, Grundy EMA, and Morris Police Department, according to the news release.

The fire remains under investigation by Morris Fire and Police departments. Two people were displaced by the fire and are being assisted by the Red Cross. Damage is estimated at $300,000.

“The staffing of an Engine Company at the downtown firehouse continues to provide outstanding service,” Fire Chief Tracey Steffes said in the news release. “During the past 18 months, this engine company has reduced property damage and saved lives with its quick response to the downtown and eastside residential area. Deputy Chief Wills and I are extremely proud of the dedication and steadfast commitment our firefighters provide each and every day.”

recruiting new members to the district. He said the district has 14 or 15 active members.

The district holds a training every Wednesday night and Sereno hopes if someone within the district is interested in becoming a firefighter, he or she will come to training with questions.

“If they are interested, they can just stop by during training. If they are still interested after meeting with us, they can fill out an application,” Sereno said.

The weekly training is something that Sereno is passionate about. He said no firefighter can have too much training.

“He’s very into training,” Pumphrey said. “He’s always

YMCA to celebrate first anniversary in its Morris location

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – It’s been one year since the doors officially opened at the Morris Community YMCA building in the former City Hall. Executive Director Missy Durkin said it’s been a year to remember, as goals were not only met, but far exceeded hopes of the staff when they opened the doors last year.

“When we came in, we didn’t know what to expect,” Durkin said. “We were hoping to have 250 to 300 units. We have more then 830 units that account for close to 2,100 members.”

The YMCA bases its numbers on units instead of by each person, so whether it’s one person or four in a family who join as a group, both are considered a unit.

Morris considering sound system upgrades Council meeting audiences often complain of sound issues in chambers

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – There’s one thing the well-attended Morris City Council meetings since November 2010 – when the Morris Municipal Services Facility opened – have in common.

The audience often complains about the sound system.

It’s usually one of two things – either audience members can’t hear what is being said by aldermen or they can’t hear those addressing the council at the lectern.

Because everyone speaks and projects their voice differently, and because the current system doesn’t always accommodate softer voices without conscious effort on the speaker’s part, there is a constant adjustment period for listeners.

Meetings often are interrupted as speakers are reminded to project their voice into the microphone.

Alderman Don Matteson has reached out in recent months to sound companies about the issue. On Tuesday morning, the Morris Building and Grounds Committee met in the council chambers with Ron Schaap, a system sales representative with Commercial Electronic Systems of Joliet.

The committee, which is chaired by Matteson and includes Aldermen Sid Nelson and Randy Larson, agreed to have Schaap come back to the city in the near future with an estimate for gooseneck microphones for council desks and an adjustable boom microphone for the lectern. Larson was absent from Tuesday’s meeting.

The council currently uses clip-on microphones that have to be held up to the face when

speaking, in order to pick up sound. The lectern microphone needs to be directly in front of the speaker’s mouth or sound will not be picked up.

The committee discussed adding a mixer capable of adjusting volume levels on each microphone, as well as the speakers within the overall sound system. No action was taken, but Mayor Richard Kop-

czick said the mixer could help balancing volume levels between someone like him, who projects his voice, and Morris City Attorney Scott Belt, who is more soft-spoken.

If the city were to add speakers to the audience area and potentially in the adjacent community room, the mixer could adjust sound levels there.

When the council chambers seating is at capacity, a sliding wall is opened to combine the two rooms into one. This provides more space for additional seating.

Channahon reviews liquor policy for gaming cafe License acquisition under board consideration for proposed location

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – The Channahon Village Board took up discussion on two items Monday evening, one of which is expected to come up for a vote at a future board meeting.

The issue is whether to increase the number of the village’s beer-and-wine-only Class I liquor licenses from one to two.

The existing Class I license has been assigned by Village President and Channahon Liquor Commissioner

Missey Moorman Schumacher to new business Kelly’s Place and will become active when the business occupies the storefront at 27243 Saxony Drive.

“It’s been approved, and we are waiting for occupancy,” Schumacher said after the meeting.

If the board agrees to create a second license of the same category, Schumacher may assign it to a business, Lacey’s Place, she said is looking to get a foothold in the video gaming industry in town.

The mayor said the busi-

ness is interested in locating a wine bar with a gaming room in the back at 27025 W. Eames St. Lacey’s Place has other locations in Illinois, Schumacher said, such as in Champaign and Decatur.

According to a June 2014 article in The (Champaign) News-Gazette, the business took in more than $1 million from its five video gaming machines in a one-month period that summer.

The newspaper described the Champaign Lacey’s Place as, “cool, clean, quiet,” with a “non-Vegaslike atmosphere.”

Both Schumacher and Trustee Scott Slocum said they were not fans of video gaming, but Schumacher said having one room in the

“[The Class I license has] been approved, and we are awaiting for occupancy.”

Missey Moorman Schumacher Channahon Village president, liquor commissioner back of a nice wine bar would “be OK.” The board decided to keep the item as first read and return to it for a second read in the future.

Also Monday, Director of Community Development Mike Petrick told trustees that three village businesses are asking the board to

reconsider Channahon’s ban on storefront light bands.

The sign ordinance prohibits the bright white or colored lights that are designed to be mounted to the inside of windows to attract attention to businesses.

Notifications to discontinue use of the light bands were given to four local businesses recently, Petrick said, and three of them asked if Petrick would bring the matter to the board for reconsideration.

After some discussion, the consensus of the trustees was to keep the ordinance banning the lights. There are several other ways for retailers to attract business, Village Administrator Tom Durkin said, especially with the popularity of online marketing.

“We have always said we are following people to wellness and have a great partnership with Morris Hospital,” she said.

“When you see people come in over a year’s time and see the impact it’s having on those individuals, it’s amazing.”

Carolyn Hamilton, vice president of marketing, said the Morris location is finishing some renovations on the lower level and will be unveiling a new power center – complete with a Synrgy360 machine – in January. Durkin said the YMCA originally thought the space at the former City Hall would be big enough for the first Morris location, but the overwhelming response has the Y expanding.

The YMCA also will expand some cardio and physical therapy training options to continue training for after a patient is released from the Morris Hospital physical therapy center.

“We really enjoy our partnership with the hospital. After a patient is done receiving treatment with Morris Hospital they can send them to the YMCA, where a trainer can continue to work with them toward their wellness goals,” Durkin said.

Minooka athlete prepares for 3,030-mile, coast-to-coast trek

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – At this time last year, Adam Kimble put his career on hold to travel the world with his wife – all the while growing a beard.

The “Forrest Gump”-like facial hair quickly became a foreshadowing of sorts to the next chapter of the 29-year-old runner’s life.

Kimble, of Minooka, is just weeks away from a race across America – an attempt to break a long-held Guinness World Record for the fastest crossing of the United States on foot by a male – not unlike Tom Hanks’ bearded character in the 1994 classic “Forrest Gump,” who went for a jog one day and ended up trekking across the entire U.S. several times.

“The beard is a part of my gear setup,” Kimble said.

Kimble will try to break a world record set in 1980 by Frank Giannino Jr., who traveled from San Francisco to New York in 46 days, 8 hours and 36 minutes.

To accomplish a similar feat in 45 days, Kimble will take off in mid-February from Huntington Beach, California, and run an average of 68 miles each day. If all goes well, his journey will end in New York City, New York.

If you’re thinking, “this guy is crazy,” it’s OK. His wife, Karen Kimble, thinks so, too – but she’s equally supportive.

She’s among a five-member RV crew that will follow Adam Kimble on his 3,030-mile trek across 13 states.

“He’s crazy,” Karen Kimble said. “I’ll run a few of the segments with him, but that’s it.”

Guinness World Record guidelines allow runners trying to break this record to choose the shortest or most suitable route so long as the route distance is equal to or greater than New York City to Los Angeles. Any two coastal cities may be chosen as long as their distance apart exceeds the 2,766 miles from Los Angeles to New York.

To help pass the time, Adam Kimble is partnering with RunJunkEes – a runner’s club that is trying to find run-

Kimble is trying to break a world record set in 1980 by Frank Giannino Jr., who traveled from San Francisco to New York and clocked in at 46 days, 8 hours and 36 minutes. He hopes to beat that record by running 3,030 miles in 45 days.

Guinness World Record guidelines allow runners attempting to break this record to choose the shortest or most suitable route between the two cities so long as the route distance is equal to or greater than New York City to Los Angeles.

‘A big toll on the body’

Adam Kimble said the month-and-a-half leading up to the big race will be key to preparing his body for the pain, possible injury and muscle soreness he’ll endure during the 45-day journey.

Blues guitarist Long John Hunter dies in Arizona at 84 The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX – Blues guitarist Long John Hunter, who recorded seven solo albums in a 60-year career and was known internationally for his onstage showmanship, has died.

He was 84.

Hunter died in his sleep early Monday at his home in Phoenix, his family announced Tuesday on their Facebook page.

The cause of death wasn’t immediately known, said Marc Lipkin, director of publicity for Chicago-based Alligator Records. Lipkin added that he believed Hunter lived in Phoenix for the past decade or more.

Hunter also was a singer-songwriter whose bestknown tracks are “El Paso Rock” and “Alligators Around My Door.”

Born John Thurman Hunter Jr. in Ringgold, Louisiana, Hunter grew up in Arkansas and Texas and bought his first guitar after seeing B.B. King in concert.

Hunter adopted his stage name in 1953 when he released his first single. He relocated to El Paso, Texas, and then made a name for himself leading the house band at the Lobby Bar in Juarez, Mexico, from 1957 to 1970.

James Brown, Buddy Holly, Etta James and Albert Collins reportedly attended shows

by Hunter, who also became a mentor to then-teenager Bobby Fuller of “I Fought the Law” fame.

Bee Gees manager Robert Stigwood dies

By JILL LAWLESS The Associated Press LONDON – Robert Stigwood, the impresario who managed the Bee Gees and produced 1970s blockbusters “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever,” has died.

He was 81.

Stigwood’s office said he died Monday. The cause of death was not announced.

Born in Adelaide, Australia, in 1934, Stigwood moved to Britain in the 1950s and soon became an astute player in Britain’s embryonic rock music industry.

In the 1960s he managed rock super group Cream and its guitarist Eric Clapton before signing brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb, collectively known as the Bee Gees, whose melodic folk-rock achieved late-’60s success before a career slump.

Stigwood moved into the-

The Who’s rock opera “Tommy.” He also produced the 1977 dancefloor drama “Saturday Night Fever,” with a soundtrack that brought the Bee Gees mega-stardom that

reached a pitch as high as Barry Gibb’s signature falsetto. That film and the Stigwood-produced “Grease,” released in 1978, also made John Travolta into one of the decade’s biggest stars.

Stigwood’s golden touch failed him with “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” a Beatles-based movie musical which was a critical and box-office flop in 1978.

Sequels to “Saturday Night Fever” and “Grease” also underperformed, but Stigwood found success again in 1996 with movie musical “Evita,” starring Madonna as Argentine first lady Eva Peron.

Lloyd Webber paid tribute to Stigwood on Twitter, calling him a “great showman who taught me so much.”

Spencer Gibb – son of the late Robin Gibb and Stigwood’s godson – described him as “a creative genius with a very quick and dry wit.”

Kimble plans to travel from California to New York City Fundraising

• CROSS COUNTRY Continued from page 8

As part of his cross-training routine, he lifts weights at the gym and cycles. Adam Kimble attended a yoga session early Tuesday before going for a jog near his home.

Adam Kimble started running four years ago but propelled quickly to the ranks of ultra runner, or someone who competes in footraces longer than the traditional 26.2-mile marathon. Even with that kind of experience, he knows there are risks involved.

“For something like this, where I’m going to be running over 3,000 miles, it’s going to put a big toll on the body,” he said.

Adam Kimble bought a NormaTech device – a dynamic compression legging outfit that places pressure and sends pulses up the legs – to aid in his recovery after a long day.

At some point, it will be about pushing through the pain, he said.

“It’ll become mind over matter at some point. That’s

Adam Kimble demonstrates a recovery system he plans to use when he tries to break the world record for fastest crossing of America on foot. another thing that’s appealing to me ... the mental aspect of it. You still have to work hard, you still have to have running gifts and abilities to pursue something like this. But at the same time, it’s very, very mental,” Adam Kimble said.

“With long-distance running, it’s not necessary the best athlete is going to win. It may be the case that there’s someone 50 miles in and their mind is telling them, ‘This isn’t right. I don’t feel good,’ but somebody else is able to

push through those feelings.”

Setting the pace

Using skills learned as a certified public accountant, Karen Kimble created a spreadsheet outlining her husband’s daily routine – including mileage, breaks, caloric intake and estimated beginning-and-end GPS coordinates.

“It’s given me, personally, an outlet, and given me a way to contribute,” Karen Kimble said.

To help pay for expenses, Kimble’s GoFundMe page – www. gofundme.com/AdamsRaceAcrossUSA – has raised nearly $2,500 of his $10,000 goal.

The funds raised will pay for a transportation vehicle, a videographer and other items that the team will rely on. Any remaining money will be donated to Kimble’s charitable partner, Impossible2Possible, a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring, educating and equipping a generation of global problem solvers. start each day at 4 a.m., with a wake-up call of 3:15 a.m. that gives him time to fuel up with a healthy breakfast. Through a combination of running, jogging and power-walking, Adam Kimble hopes to keep a 13-minute-mile pace that will take him through to each evening, when he will spend his time in recovery mode.

“I know I’ll have a lot of excitement, so I’ll have to control my energy early on,” he said.

“I have to remember each day is a small piece of a larger goal.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: MORRIS 54, COAL CITY 38

Morris boys use size to subdue Coal City

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – There was a decidedly different look to the Morris boys basketball team in the second half Tuesday night in a 54-38 win over nonconference rival Coal City.

The Redskins (7-7) enjoyed a significant height advantage over the Coalers all night, but were unable to fully use that edge before halftime.

The shooting of Matt Shaw helped Morris to a 21-15 halftime lead, but it wasn’t until the third quarter that the Redskins began to really pull ahead.

That’s when 6-foot-4 sophomore Tyler Spiezio began to assert his presence underneath, and his teammates obliged with solid entry passes. Spiezio scored seven of his nine points in the third quarter as the Redskins outscored the Coalers, 20-11, in the period to take a 41-26 lead into the fourth.

“Coal City’s zone took us out of being able to get too much to the post in the first half,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “And, we settled for too many perimeter shots. Our guards did a good job of finding Tyler in the third quarter, though.”

With entry passes coming from Shaw, Jordan Miracle, Tommy Balentine and Trevor Mathis, Spiezio made three of his five field-goal attempts from the field and one of his two free throws.

Mathis came in late in the quarter to give starting point guard Balentine a break and delivered a putback basket with 1:26 remaining, then directed the Morris offense during the final minute before finally finding Shaw open in the corner for a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Mathis then started the scoring in the fourth quarter with a corner 3-pointer of his own, putting the Redskins ahead, 44-26.

“Trevor Mathis did a real nice job for us,” Blumberg said. “He gave Tommy a break in the last minutes of the third quarter, played good defense and ran the offense to get Matt

Shaw the 3-pointer at the buzzer. I also thought Tommy Balentine handled and distributed the ball well and pushed the tempo in transition when we needed it.”

Junior post player Nathaniel Halcomb also had a strong game for the Redskins without scoring, delivering four rebounds and a couple of assists as well as coming up with some loose balls.

“With some roster changes

that we have had, we have had Nate playing with his back to the basket as our No. 5. That way, he can concentrate on rebounding and defense, and he did a nice job for us there.”

Morris, which got a gamehigh 23 points from Shaw, led most of the game. Coal City grabbed a quick, 3-0 lead on a 3-point play by Christian Johnson and, after Shaw tied it with a three-pointer of his own, the Coalers went ahead, 5-3, on a

pair of free throws by sophomore Blake Harseim. Morris tied it on a bucket by Aurelius Lennon-Rios and took the lead for good on a 3-pointer by Shaw.

Jordan Miracle (9 points) ended the first quarter scoring with a steal and layup for the Redskins.

Morris got a basket by Miracle and a 3 by Matt Walker to take a 15-7 lead midway through the second quarter

before Keegan Clampitt hit two straight 3-pointers for Coal City to pull the Coalers to within 20-15.

Morris, which hosts Geneseo on Friday and Rochelle on Saturday, got out to a 20-point lead in the fourth at 48-28, but Coal City went on a 10-2 run to tighten it to 50-38 before Shaw hit a spinning shot on a drive to the basket and capped the scoring with a pair of free throws.

Why are we burying Matt Forte?

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com The day after the Bears season ended, Matt Forte stood in front of a locker that no longer belonged to him. It technically does. It still has his nameplate overhead since he has plenty more at home, and the naked pads and scattered cleats will remain until the equipment boy gathers them up in a cart.

Otherwise, Forte’s spot has been cleared out in our hearts and minds.

Well, except for this: A tattered spandex cutoff shirt hangs in the middle of the stall, stitched in Chicago blue

and orange and made to look like a jersey. The No. 22 is on the back, and above it are the words “Work Horse.”

“All my hard work, blood, sweat and tears is in this shirt, too, so I wanted to leave it,” he said.

He said he hopes he can come back for it, but we’ll see.

This was one day after the farewell on the field, which again was never official, never labeled that way, but come on.

More than 50,000 people snuggled into frigid Soldier Field on Sunday for a meaningless battle between two 6-9 teams, and you know why. You saw it in everything you’ll remem-

ber from the game, from the “Thanks for the smiles Forte!” banner near the North end zone to his post-game handshakes with fans to the way his tap-dancing touchdown from 23 yards out set the entire stadium on fire.

“Everybody’s acting like it’s a going-away party, like a funeral or something,” Forte said Monday. “No decisions have been made. I can be back.”

He’s right: Everyone is saying good-bye. We’ve all become guilty of it over the past week.

Is it because the Bears’ past two fourth-round picks inspire that much confidence for a run-first offense?

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Watch the spots to win the tricks

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Ilka Chase, an actress and novelist who died in 1978, said, “You can always spot a well-informed man – his views are the same as yours.”

You can always spot a good bridge player – he views the spot cards as carefully as you. In this deal, Sylvie Willard from France (East) was paying careful attention to the diamond spots.

Do you agree with South’s oneno-trump opening bid?

A long minor is worthwhile, adding extra strength to a hand. In this instance, it is a close decision. It is good to get a major-suit lead around to the South hand, but if West is going to start with a diamond, maybe it would be better to have North the no-trump declarer.

Against three no-trump, reached after a transfer sequence, Benedicte Cronier (West) led her fourth-highest heart. South won with her ace, cashed the spade ace, continued with the spade queen (which West ducked), and played a diamond to dummy’s 10. East won with her queen and returned a heart. West took the next trick with her spade king and led another heart. Declarer cashed dummy’s two spade winners, on which East accurately discarded two clubs.

After East won the next trick with her club ace, everyone had three cards left. In diamonds, West retained the nine, dummy the K-J-3, East the A-4-2, and South the eight.

When East led her diamond two, it was covered by the eight, nine and jack.

Then declarer had to lead from dummy’s king-three into Willard’s ace-four.

Woman still angry at family for ignoring childhood trauma Dear Abby: At the age of 15 I was raped by my first boyfriend. It’s how I lost my virginity. Shortly afterward, I became severely depressed and bulimic. I blocked my trauma until 11 years later, when I had a flashback. I sought out a therapist and have been seeing him for the past six months.

I feel so much resentment and anger toward my family for not having helped me through this difficult time.

They didn’t know about the rape, but they knew about my eating disorder, and I’m sure they must have noticed my depressed mood. They simply looked the other way, and I was offered no help whatsoever.

I am angry with my mother especially, because she has always been detached and critical of me. I’m afraid to tell her what happened for fear of be-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ing blamed. She has now been diagnosed with cancer, and I’m afraid she’ll die before I get the courage to tell her. What can I do? – Angry in California Dear Angry: It might be helpful to look more carefully at the reasons why you are angry with your family. It’s unfair to blame them for not recognizing something they were never told. It is not uncommon for teenagers to withdraw to some extent in order to establish their own identities, apart from their parents. Your parents may have thought that was what you were doing.

As to your eating disorder, I remember a time in the

not-too-distant past when little was known about anorexia and bulimia. It wasn’t until after the death of recording artist Karen Carpenter that media attention focused on how serious and life-threatening an eating disorder could be. This is not to excuse your mother for her inability to be the parent you needed while growing up. It’s important that you work with your therapist on how to talk to her about all of your feelings. It shouldn’t be done in an accusatory manner, and you should have no fear of being blamed for your rape. It wasn’t your fault that you were assaulted, and no one should be able to make you feel guilty for having been a victim – not even your mother – who, I am sure, will be shocked by your revelation.

Dear Abby: I have known

“Julia” for a long time. She was my best friend in high school and my maid of honor when I got married. She and her husband have an open relationship and invite other women into their bedroom. Several years ago, when my husband and I were struggling, they asked me if I wanted to join them. I declined in favor of working on my marriage. After that, Julia and I drifted apart and we spoke only rarely.

Our children go to the same school now, so we have reconnected and I realize how much I have missed having her as a close friend. Recently, however, Julia’s husband, “Jerry,” has started making suggestive remarks when he’s the one picking their daughter up from school. It makes me really uncomfortable. When I told my husband about it, he

wasn’t happy.

How do I ask this man to stop without losing Julia’s friendship again? I see them every day now, and I’d hate for there to be bitterness between us. – Not Interested That Way Dear Not Interested: Tell Jerry that his comments are making you uncomfortable and to cut it out. Point out that while you and your husband are not judgmental about their lifestyle, you are not interested in being more than good platonic friends. Then repeat it to Julia, so she hears it straight from you. If, after that, your refusal to participate in their bedroom antics causes “bitterness,” then so be it.
