Special Connections celebrates fifth annual Halloween party

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Even the goblins were smiling Saturday night at the Special Connections of Grundy County’s fifth annual Halloween dance and costume contest.

Kelly Thompson, executive director of Special Connections, said the event was so popular the first year it was held that it has become an annual tradition, with many of the par-

tygoers starting on their next costume as soon as the dance is over.

Special Connections is a nonprofit organization with a mission to connect people with disabilities to their community through social interactions, education, recreational opportunities and shared information.

Nazi Holocaust camps brought to life in Morris Survivor talks to students after performance of ‘Letters to Sala’

By NICK SAMUEL nsamuel@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Steen Metz was only 8 years old when his family was arrested and taken to Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust.

Metz, now 79, was liberated after 18 months at the camp.

He talked with audience members Sunday about his experience during a question and answer session at Morris Community High School.

The session was held after the school’s performance of “Letters to Sala,” a play telling the story of a young Jewish girl who survived a Nazi camp.

In his novel “A Danish Boy

in Theresienstadt: Reflections of a Holocaust Survivor,” Metz refers to his time in captivity as “18 months in hell.”

“The hardest memory was the passing of my father. He died in the camp; that’s unforgivable,” Metz said. “You don’t forget, you don’t forgive as far as I’m concerned.”

Metz said his dad lost 50 percent of his body weight while laboring at the camp.

The survivor said it was difficult to keep faith in God at the time, but he couldn’t give up and kept going one day at a time.

“From the time we were arrested, I was very frightened.

It seemed to go on forever,”

Metz said. “When we were liberated, that was the happiest day of my life.”

Metz spoke to audience members after the presentation of “Letters to Sala,” which brought horror stories from Nazi labor camps to life in the Morris Community High School auditorium.

The play, written by Arlene Hutton, is based on the true story of a young Jewish girl, Sala, who went to a Nazi labor camp at 16 years old in place of her sick sister.

In one scene, Sala and other young Jewish girls screamed at the top of their lungs as two of their own were taken by Nazi officers to either be beat-

“When the girls were lined up, something bad would happen. You don’t know who’s going to get taken and fear is the ultimate emotion,” said

18-year-old senior Haleigh Zorn, who played the role of young Sala. “I’m glad we could portray that so it doesn’t

Sheriff encourages safety on Halloween MORRIS DAILY HERALD The Grundy County Sheriff’s Department urges everyone to keep safety in mind as they celebrate Halloween.

Motorists are reminded to pay attention to children, weather and an increase in vehicle and pedestrian traffic, according to a news release from Sheriff Kevin Callahan’s office.

Tips to make this Halloween safe: • Keep costumes short to prevent tripping and consider using make-up rather than masks. Masks can make it difficult to see oncoming traffic.

Wear light-colored clothing and add reflective tape to dark costumes, making them more visible. Flame resistant costumes are best.

• Do your trick-or-treating while it is light outside. If you go out later, take a flashlight or glow stick. An adult should

always accompany small children, and older children should stay in groups. Tell your child to approach familiar houses that are well-lit and avoid homes that are unlit.

Remind them they should never enter a stranger’s house or vehicle.

• When handing out treats, make sure goodies are wellwrapped. Consider handing out pencils, pens, erasers, small party favors, etc. instead of candy. Be sure to remind your own trick-or-treaters to wait until they return home to sample their treats. That way, an adult will be able to check the treats for any evidence of tampering.

• Drivers, stay alert. Young children could dart in front of your car at any time. Slow down and drive with extra caution. If you’re going to a costume party, make sure your costume does not hamper your vision while you drive to

the event.

• Adults, consider spending Halloween at home answering the front door. If you do attend a Halloween party, make sure you have a sober, designated driver ready. Alcohol, even in small amounts, slows reaction time and dulls the senses.

Drinking alcohol could have a sad and possibly deadly result.

“Additional patrols have already been assigned for Halloween. These patrols will include members of the Sheriff’s

Patrol and Investigative Divisions to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable Halloween,” Callahan said.

During Halloween, the sheriff’s office will have contact with the National Confectioner’s Association to determine if candy has been tampered with or if there is a harmless flaw in the packaging. If you suspect candy you have has been tampered with or may be tainted, contact the sheriff’s office at 815-942-0336.

3 Ways Republicans Have Failed Grundy Residents When It Comes To Transparency And Ethics 1. Republican county board leaders have gone into “executive session” to hide their discussions dozens of times over the last two years, often in suspected violation of the open meetings act.

2. Republican County Board Member Vicki Geiger stated that County Administrator Heidi Miller was unethical in trying to create a job for her husband but the County Board takes no disciplinary action, instead allowing her to resign as the County Administrator but keep a full-time position as Land Use Director. (WCSJ/WJDK news 10/3/14) 3. Republican State’s Attorney Jason Helland chose not to prosecute or pursue independent investigation into Republican Board Member Teryl Lundeen for not living in Grundy County but receiving thousands of dollars’ worth of benefits from the County (Grundy County Board minutes 7/8/14), and chose not to prosecute Kenneth Briley Jr. for an alleged domestic battery in Coal City claiming an appearance of impropriety. (People v. Kenneth Briley Jr., Grundy County Case 14 MR 106)

It is time to have common-sense leadership working on behalf of the working men and women of Grundy County.

MORRIS – Mary Roth believes her years of experience in customer service, human resources and running the day-to-day operations of her family’s construction company

more than qualify her for the job of Grundy County Clerk.

Current clerk Lana Phillips is retiring and not running for re-election, leaving the position open for the Nov. 4 election. Roth is running against Kay Olson, D-Morris.

processes county board agendas and minutes by completing the purchase of software to streamline the process and allow the agenda’s different contributors to directly add items they need.

She said she understands cost is a factor, but she believes staff time spent on agendas would decrease with the program, freeing staff to work on other responsibilities.

“The groundwork has been laid and the IT department is excited about it,” she said. “It will bring everyone together and help push everything to the website, which will make us more transparent.”

Olson said she believes one of the office’s strong points is the election technology in place. Grundy leads the state in election technology, she said.

“Laws change each election cycle and we do a good job keeping up with them. We have a great staff in place to get the job done,” Olson said.

Olson was born and raised in Grundy County and has been married to her husband, Rick, for more than 28 years.

She has three children who also were raised in Grundy County.

She is a graduate of Joliet Junior College, where she worked in the public relations department. She also worked as an office assistant at a local chiropractic clinic in Morris.

Seniors who are facing the many challenges of cancer usually prefer to remain in their homes. Being in such familiar surroundings makes them feel more secure and comfortable. Many times, a team of trained individuals is required to meet their needs. As part of this team, professional caregivers can provide critical non-medical home health care and loving companionship to their senior clients with cancer. They can keep their clients’ houses clean and neat, give important medication reminders, grocery shop, prepare healthy and tasty meals and snacks, provide transportation, and accompany their senior clients to medical appointments.

Caregivers will work in concert with medical service providers to ensure that their senior clients remain as healthy and comfortable as possible.

Taking care of your loved one who is aging in place can be an exhausting task. If you add in the extra level of complexity created by treating cancer, it can simply overwhelm you. We can help.

We offer a flexible suite of care options that you can use to assist you through this difficult time. Our supportive caregivers will provide the hands-on help that your loved one needs, giving you the peace of mind that you deserve.

“I come every year,” Harvel said. “I took first place one year, so I am trying again this year. I had time to find my outfit.”

Her outfit – a safari hat and zookeeper badge added to her khaki outfit – made it easy for her to dance to the music with her friends in the Chapin’s North banquet room in Morris.

Jennifer Price, board president, said the Halloween party was the first social event planned for the special needs community, and it has been a success since day one, and has grown every year.

“Dancing is what most people here enjoy the most,” Thompson said. “This year is our biggest event ever, with about 60 people here.”

Ryan Kurytak of Morris, who dressed in a black robe and a scary mask, said he loves to dance and likes com-

ing each year.

While many of the attendees know each other from work or their Special Olympics teams, the event brought in many newcomers and gave the costumed guests a chance to make new friends.

Pam Scarpace brought her daughter, Maddie, to the dance from their home in Plainfield after Maddie’s friend, Allie Armstrong, invited her.

“She really likes the music, and this gives her a chance to get together and have fun with Pam Scarpace her friend,” Scarpace said. on bringing her daughter, Maddie, to Photos by Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com “We’re very impressed with the Special Connections of Grundy Calie Frazier enjoys herself a the Special Connections Haleverything they do at Special loween dance dressed as a bloody clown.

3 Ways Republicans Have Failed Grundy Residents When It Comes To Transparency and Ethics 1. Republicans ignored county Auditor and Treasurer recommendations for better financial reporting by the health department resulting in $44,000 missing from the health department as the result of alleged theft. (Morris Daily Herald 6/6/14) 2. An ethics commission was created two years ago and filled with appointees of Republican Chairman Severson but it has no authority to investigate, has no rules or bylaws, and has taken no action since being formed.

3. Republican county board leaders have gone into “executive session” to hide their discussions dozens of times over the last two years, often in suspected violation of the open meetings act.

“In 10 years, there won’t be any more Holocaust survivors.”

The Community Foundation of Grundy County sponsored Metz to speak at the play.

Metz said he wants students and others to remember there was a Holocaust and that there are a number of people today denying the Holocaust took place.

“It means a lot to me when you get a reception like today,” Metz said, who is happily married to Eileen Metz. “It’s my passion. The Q&A afterward makes it worthwhile.”

MORRIS 49, LaSALLE-PERU 7

17

By RYAN WOODEN Shaw Media Correspondent

AREA PLAYOFF PAIRINGS CLASS 4A Mendota (6-3) at Coal City (7-2), Friday, 7 p.m.

CLASS 5A Morris (5-4) vs. Normal U-High (90) at Illinois State University (Hancock Stadium), Saturday, 3 p.m. we’ve really been feeling confident that we could get some of those throughout the year, and we’ve been so close so many times. So getting those and Walker’s pick was huge for us.”

However, LaSalle-Peru finally mounted something of a drive on their next possession.

They managed a first down when Doyle found his favored target, Ryan McManus, for a 10-yard strike. Two plays later, Kobey Fusinetti broke through the Morris defensive front, racing 46 yards before being pushed out at the three. Unfortunately for LaSalle-Peru, they couldn’t convert, fumbling on third-and-goal as Morris’ Matt

Feiden recovered.

Morris took over and marched methodically on a nine-play, 97-yard drive that ended in a 7-yard scoring run from Feiden. What started as a scoring chance for L-P that would have cut the lead to 14 ended with the Redskins up 28, and it was bookended by two huge plays from Feiden.

“It was big because obviously when we’re just a few scores up and they get down to the 1-yard line, if they score, that’s a different ballgame,” Feiden said. “The turnover was huge and then being able to push the ball all the way down the field was the nail in the coffin.”

With the game quickly turning into a rout, Morris started gradually pulling starters, but still increased their lead with 13- and 17-yard scoring runs from senior captains Griffin Sobol and Robbie Meucci.

Going into the half, Morris led LaSalle-Peru, 42-0. The large early lead allowed Morris to empty their bench and play all

their reserves on Senior Night.

“Besides making the playoffs, the next best thing was being able to get all those seniors – and really every kid – involved. Everyone got to play a lot, but it’s especially nice for those seniors after four years of working hard for us,” Thorson said. “We were happy they got out and had some success, too.

It’s nice to see kids like Jacob Brady, who went out there and had two big interceptions.”

With the reserves in, the third quarter didn’t feature much of anything, as the running ticker bled the clock dry in the middle of LaSalle-Peru’s first possession of the half.

However, the Cavaliers were able to continue their march as the fourth quarter progressed.

They fought hard and took away the shutout when Fusinetti scored from 6 yards out.

However, Morris was able to answer when reserve fullback William Ringer scored from 5 yards out on the next drive to provide the final score.

MORRIS – Needing a win to gain playoff eligibility, the Morris football team hosted LaSalle-Peru on Senior Night in Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover play Friday night. And, as expected with L-P entering the contest 0-8, Morris jumped all over the Cavs and put the game out of reach early, eventually winning, 49-7.

The win moved the Redskins to 5-4 and officially made them playoff eligible. The Redskins will take on 9-0 Normal U-High in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs at 3 p.m. Saturday at Illinois State University’s Hancock Stadium.

LaSalle Peru won the toss and elected to receive, but couldn’t muster anything offensively and punted.

The Redskins took a punt return deep into L-P territory, but were pushed back to the 28 by a hold. On his second carry of a two-play drive, Morris running

back Jake Walker took a handoff and blew through a gaping hole, going untouched on his way to a 16-yard touchdown run. A Luis Luna extra point gave Morris the 7-0 lead.

It was the last appearance of the Morris offense for several possessions, as the Redskins’ defense and specials team both got in on the scoring act.

Two scrimmage plays after finding paydirt on offense, Walker cut in front of a Jack Doyle pass and weaved his way through the L-P offense for a 36yard interception return for a touchdown.

On the next drive, Tommy Balentine got retribution for the long Joey Webb return that was called back previously, taking a punt and scoring from 64 yards out. It gave the Redskins a 21-0 lead with 6:16 remaining in the first quarter.

“We certainly wanted to send a message that we’re a good team,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “The special teams plays were huge because

Defense sets wrong kinds of records

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Jared Allen recapped Sunday’s 51-23 loss to the New England Patriots succinctly.

“We got our butts kicked today, plain and simple.”

Allen and the Bears’ defense couldn’t stop Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Brandon LaFell and the Patriots’ offense in the beat-down.

The Bears set franchise records in first-half points allowed (38), passing first downs allowed (25) and opposing completion percentage (86.8).

“It was one of those situations where I felt we were in second-and-short or third-and-short all game,” Allen said.

“Those are tough ways to do it, and we have got to figure out a way.”

The defensive line didn’t pressure Brady, let alone record a single quarterback hit on the future Hall of Famer.

The secondary didn’t do much better, collecting zero passes defensed. The only player to deflect a pass was linebacker Christian Jones.

“I’ll keep it as simple as I can. We got beat today, obviously, in all three phases,” said coach Marc Trestman, as the Bears head into the bye with a 3-5 record. “We started slow and we couldn’t keep up the pace. Credit has to go to New England for the job that they did today.”

Brady-to-Gronk could not be defended, with Ryan Mundy often in coverage,

Defensive end Willie Young rests in the first half Oct. 19 at Soldier Field.

“We got our butts kicked today, plain and simple.”

Jared Allen, Bears defensive end on the team’s 51-23 loss to New England only to see Gronkowski pluck the ball out of the air. He caught all nine passes thrown his way for 149 yards and three touchdowns.

“You saw it. You see the struggles [covering Gronkowski]. There’s a size matchup when you have him man-toman,” Trestman said. “We had him

covered man-to-man by two to three different players. As I said, Tom made meticulous throws, he was on target even when he was covered. So, you have to give him credit for that.”

On Gronkowski’s first touchdown, Mundy appeared to be step-for-step in coverage, but Brady dropped the ball

into Gronkowski’s arms. “[Brady] always put it in a good location where he can catch it. [Gronkowski] knows how to use his body, and they did that today,” Mundy said. “I have to do a better job of anticipating and try and swat the ball.”

Of LaFell’s 11 targets, he caught all of them for 124 yards, with Brady going after Kyle Fuller, and then undrafted rookie Al Louis-Jean, who replaced Fuller (hip) in the second quarter.

Injury concerns: In addition to Fuller, Darryl Sharpton (hamstring), Lamarr Houston (knee) and Matt Slauson (pectoral) left the game and did not return.

Houston will have an MRI on Monday, and Slauson was seen wearing a sling on his right shoulder.

Trestman did not have any updates, but when asked specifically about Houston’s injury, which occurred during a sack celebration, Trestman said, “I’m disappointed for Lamarr.”

Bye week plan: The Bears reported to Halas Hall on Monday, but then will have the rest of the week off before returning to work Nov. 3 to get ready for the Packers.

“We have to decide how we want to end this year and how we want to do in this second half,” quarterback Jay Cutler said. “Do we want to just pack it in and hover around .500, maybe a little bit below, or do we want to use the talent in that locker room to try and make a run for this?”

3 things that worked

1

Feeding Forte: The Bears have a disturbing trend – losing in games in which Matt Forte is effective. In all five losses, Forte has gained more than 100 total yards, and he finished this one with 114 yards rushing and 54 receiving, including a 25-yard touchdown catch and run. He is averaging 156.6 yards from scrimmage in Bears losses.

2

Martellus’ acrobatics: In one of the few highlights for the Bears, Martellus Bennett displayed incredible concentration to catch a 20-yard touchdown pass as he and Brandon Browner went to the ground. Bennett finished with six catches for a team-high 95 yards.

3

The schedule: The Bears did not expect to be 3-5 at the bye, but at least the off week comes at the right time to allow them to regroup.

3 that didn’t

1

Covering Gronk: Rob Gronkowski was dominant. Ryan Mundy couldn’t cover him, and on the one touchdown that Chris Conte had coverage, Gronkowski stiff-armed Mundy on his way to a 46-yard score. He caught all nine passes thrown his way for 146 yards and three touchdowns before leaving the game because of dehydration, the only thing that did stop Gronkowski. Eight of those nine catches went for first downs or scores.

2

Defending Brady: Tom Brady had a heck of a day, even for him. Brady threw only five incomplete passes and was not sacked, let alone even hit. The Bears got their hands on only one Brady pass and did nothing to rattle him. In addition to connecting with Gronk, Brady picked on Al Louis-Jean with ease, giving Brandon LaFell a huge day.

3

First-quarter offense: For the third game in a row, the Bears were shut out in the first quarter.

They gained 32 yards on the two drives, both of which resulted in punts. A holding penalty on the opening drive and a false start on the next one didn’t help. To start the third quarter, the Bears gained 5 yards on three plays.

What it means: A nightmare scenario for the Bears heading into the bye week, two games under .500 and tied for last in the division with the Vikings, looking up at the Lions and Packers.

Tenth of a second separates freshman from win as Redskin girls, boys advance

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – It was oh, so close.

For almost three miles Saturday, Morris freshman cross-country runner Mya Shannon ran right on the shoulder of LaSalle-Peru senior Megan Krolak as the two made up the lead pair in the girls race at the Class 2A Morris Regional.

With about 300 meters remaining, both runners broke into a full sprint, using up whatever energy they had left to head toward the finish line.

When they reached the end, spectators and officials alike were at a loss to come up with a winner. Likewise, cameras set up at the finish line were unable to come up with a clear answer. Finally, the electronic timer said that Krolak’s shoe had crossed the line first, a scant 0.1 second ahead of Shannon. Krolak finished with a regional title with a time of 18:35.5, while Shannon took second in a personal-best time of 18:35.6.

It marked quite an improvement for Shannon, who finished 51 seconds behind Krolak, an all-state selection last season, at the Morris Early Bird Invitational in August.

Not only has she gained 51 seconds on Krolak, but Saturday’s time was 31 seconds better than her previous personal best.

“I just wanted to stay with her as long as I could,” Shannon said. “About 300 meters out, she started her kick, so I just went with her. I have run against her about seven times this year and haven’t beaten her yet, but none of the other

“She has usually beaten me it comes to getting to by about 20 seconds or so the last few times, but I knocked state, since Krolak was 31 seconds off my personal best today. I guess I feel that if I can all-state last year and Mya go that, I can do just about any- was right with her today.” thing, so we’ll see what happens these next couple of weeks.”

Joe Blumberg Shannon’s second-place Morris cross-country coach on finish helped the Morris girls freshman Mya Shannon’s close finish team finish fourth and advance to Saturday’s Class 2A East Peoria Sectional. LaSalle-Peru After Shannon, the top finwon the regional title with 35 ishers for Morris in order were points, followed by Joliet Cath- Meghan Smith (18th, 20:56.3), olic Academy (55), Lincoln-Way Sophie Tibbott (24th, 21:32.5), West (65) and Morris (118). Ottawa (125) and Streator (132) also advanced to the sectional.

Lily Tibbott (40th, 22:54.5), Katherine Gallick (41st, 22:59.5), Maria Blanco (46th, 23:56.5) and Bridget Gile (47th, 24:09.5).

“When you think about Mya’s race, you can think of her losing out by a tenth of a second, or you can see how much she has improved,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “She just had a great run for a freshman, and she can definitely use it as an incentive for next week.

She has also put herself in the conversation when it comes to getting to state, since Krolak was all-state last year and Mya was right with her today.

“As a team, we knew we

were going up against some superior teams today. We just wanted to get out ahead of some of the teams we felt we could beat and advance to the sectional, which we did. The sectional environment will be quite a bit more intense.”

In the boys race, the Redskins tried a different strategy than they are used to.

It didn’t work exactly as they had hoped, but they also were able to advance to next week’s sectional by finishing fourth.

Lincoln-Way West won the meet with 34 points, followed

by Providence Catholic (70), LaSalle-Peru (83), Morris (98), Ottawa (131) and Crete-Monee (148).

Jacob Hesslau was the top Morris finisher, taking 11th place in 16:53. He was followed

by Alan Alvarez (17th, 17:05), Jacob Wantland (20th, 17:14), Zach Chapman (24th, 17:20), Tristan DeGrush (26th, 17:25), Vicente Gallegos (27th, 17:27) and Austin Patterson (32nd, 17:49).

“We sort of finished upside-down from what we are used to,” Blumberg said. “But we wanted to try to stick with the leaders for as long as we could. That was a little out of our comfort zone, but I give credit to the guys that went ahead and tried it. I knew we were still talented enough to advance to the sectional, so I figured why not try something different.”

Coalers head to playoffs after strongest performance; Fighting Irish left out for 12th time in 13 years

By MARK JOHNSON Shaw Media Correspondent

overshadowed the fact Seneca’s 18 wins since 2012 are its most in a three-year stretch since it won 22 games from 2000 to 2002.

“We gotta establish this program as one that gets in [to the playoffs] every year,” O’Boyle said. “We don’t wanna be a onehit wonder like it was last year.

You know, we gotta do some things. We gotta work hard in

the offseason. We gotta find some leadership.”

Going into and throughout the season, O’Boyle knew the Irish might well struggle with the Wilmington-Plano-Coal City conclusion of their schedule. His biggest regret remains a 27-22 Week 6 loss to Westmont. It was Seneca’s only loss to a team with a losing record

and a game the Irish led 14-0 at one point.

“That Westmont game still hurts,” O’Boyle said. “Unfortunately, I think we had a pretty good idea after that game that things weren’t gonna work out the way we had thought they might. That one did hurt, and it cost us a chance to play in Week 10.”

DAVE 4UDSTUEN

• Tuesday, October 28, 2014

COAL CITY – The Coal City and Seneca varsity football teams had their respective regular seasons end in very different fashions Friday night at the Dzuris Athletic Complex.

Coal City will roar into the Class 4A playoffs at 7-2 following a 48-0 defeat of the rival Fighting Irish. The Coalers are riding a two-game winning streak and are winners of six of their past seven games, with the exception being a 24-23 road loss to an 8-1 Manteno team.

Coal City has outscored its opponents, 176-45, over the past five weeks.

“The last couple weeks, we’ve really been putting it together, in all phases,” Coal City coach Lenny Onsen said, “And this is what we’re really looking for – to put it together going into the playoffs and have things working well. So, hopefully, whoever we draw, we’re in good shape and we’re on a roll now.”

And Coal City’s last regular season game, it can be argued, was its best. The margin of victory was the Coalers’ largest not only of this season, but since 2011. They held Seneca to 80 total yards and forced three turnovers while gaining 315 yards on offense. Their allaround dominance extended to special teams, where they got a 73-yard punt-return touchdown from Brad Littleton and had Joey Quinn go 6 for 6 on

extra-point kicks.

“I think so,” senior running back Jack Dibble said when asked if it was one of the Coalers’ most complete games of the season. “You look at the defense, they stepped up, they dominated. You look at the offensive line, they stepped up, they dominated. I mean, that was a very complete game. Our quarterback [Nick Micetich] completed some passes. Everybody played well, and I like the way it’s looking going into the playoffs.”

Whether or not the Coalers will carry momentum into their first-round game against Mendota, and what effect it will have, cannot be measured. Beating Seneca did have one quantifiable benefit for the Coalers – they get to play at home in Round 1, hosting Mendota on Friday night at 7.

They have won their past seven home opening-round playoff games.

“That’s huge, to get a home game,” Onsen said.

For the Fighting Irish, who started 4-1, the loss is the culmination of a four-game losing streak that leaves them outside of the playoffs for the 12th time in the past 13 seasons. They were outscored, 93-14, in their past two games. Friday’s loss equaled their largest margin of defeat since Ted O’Boyle became their coach in 2012 and was only the second time they have been shut out under O’Boyle.

Those realities, to O’Boyle,

Working to increase capacity in our nonprofits

By JULIANNE BUCK Executive Director of the Community Foundation of Grundy County MORRIS – A buzzword in nonprofit management is “capacity.” Sometimes capacity means talent. Sometimes it means budget or income.

Other times it means training, education or physical size, as in enough office space, computers or parking.

For example, does your board have the capacity to make the right governance decisions? Does your staff have the capacity to run the daily operations? Do you have enough office space, computers and filing cabinets?

In a nutshell, “Does your nonprofit have the capacity to deliver the services to serve your clients and meet your mission?”

As we review grant applications and network in the community, we observe the varying levels of capacity of our local nonprofits. Some are much more sophisticated than others; many are young and small but with great potential.

Quite often the topic comes up: “I wish we could….”

Additionally, the quality of life in Grundy County is dependent on the capacity of our nonprofits, and increasing their capacity only increases our quality of life.

In the context of capacity, our definition of “nonprofit” is broad – it includes social service agencies, churches, historical societies, performing arts, chambers and taxing bodies such as libraries, villages, fire districts and school

districts. All of these organizations are IRS-recognized nonprofits. Not all are 501(c)(3) charities, but they all operate under a nonprofit structure.

To help build capacity in our local nonprofits, we began a program this summer called “Non-Profit Tools for Success.”

It is a monthly after-hours program where we schedule a presenter on a topic that is relevant to our nonprofit community. Past topics have been marketing, financials, human resources and grantwriting.

The gathering is casual, and the presenters are friends and colleagues who have expertise in that topic. Any nonprofit in the region is welcome to attend and it is not limited to staff – board members and volunteers are highly encouraged to attend, too. The cost is free, and food and drink are provided!

We are excited for our November presentation: David Terrill is a colleague and president of the Suburban Chicago Planned Giving Council. He will be coming Nov. 13 to coach on planned giving. He’ll start very basic and wrap up with some more sophisticated tools. This event is for all knowledge levels, and there will be no such thing as a dumb question. He will speak from 5 to 7 p.m.

Planned giving is a wide topic and every nonprofit should understand the basics so you can have more tools in your quiver when you meet with donors and brainstorm with them about how they can support your organization.

We also invite local pro-

fessional advisors to attend – attorneys, accountants and financial planners.

The timing of this presentation is purposeful as the season of giving is approaching, plus many donors make majors gifts before year-end for tax purposes. And November is National Philanthropy Month.

“Non-Profit Tools for Success” is presented on the first Thursday of the month (November is an exception)

and begins at 5 pm. We meet in the conference room of the Grundy County Housing Authority, 1802 N. Division St., Morris, door 9. A schedule of speakers is on our website at cfgrundycounty.com. We also post handouts and PowerPoint presentations from previous dates.

Looking forward, our Dec. 4 topic is “nonprofit boards.”

We’re still working on the specifics, but please ask your board members to pencil in

this date, too.

We plan to post the 2015 schedule of topics soon. We are always looking for topics and speakers so please call or email us with suggestions.

This program is meant to be useful, so please tell us what topics will be helpful to you and your organization!

3 Ways Republicans Have Failed Grundy Residents When It Comes To Taxes And Spending 1. Under the Republican-controlled County Board, the Grundy County property tax rate has increased 13% over the last four years from 6.60% in 2010 to 7.50% in 2013.

2. Spending by the Republican-controlled County Board has actually increased from $14,628,374 in 2011 to $15,372,014 in 2014, an increase of $743,640, almost 3/4 of a million dollars. (Statements of Amended Budgets for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014).

3. Republicans Ron Severson, Chris Balkema and David Welter, ignoring the Grundy County Assessor’s expert opinion of the true assessed value of the Dresden facility, negotiated with Exelon to reduce the Dresden nuclear plant assessed valuation causing Grundy County and the area schools to lose millions of dollars of revenue from 2013 until 2018, instead shifting the tax burden onto the working middle class families of Grundy County. Under Democratic Leadership, the Dresden plant, a plant with another 20 year renewal of its license and increasing electric rates and fees, saw increases in its assessed valuation, adding to our tax base and lessening the tax burden on Grundy homeowners.

It is time to have common-sense leadership working on behalf of the working men and women of Grundy County.

OPINION

25

Perhaps the worst thing to happen to journalism over the years is its simplistic overreliance on the mere “appearance of impropriety” to justify big, splashy stories.

No actual wrongdoing need ever be found, just something that might look a bit fishy to a reporter’s overly suspicious eyes.

It’s one of the nation’s most anti-democratic trends because it’s solely based on the foundation that everybody is corrupt.

There’s no need to “prove” anything; just one or two distant connections are enough to justify destroying somebody’s reputation – which didn’t deserve protection anyway because everybody is so evil.

The most extreme local examples of this troublesome mindset appeared in the Chicago Tribune over the summer.

The paper ran two front-page stories about alleged political interference in the teacher certification process.

One of the more egregious examples the reporters used to justify their hype was a legislative constituent who had contributed just a few hundred dollars over the years, then came up with a pretty darned good idea and pitched it to his state representative, who passed it along to a fellow member.

The bill was overwhelmingly approved and signed into law. Only someone who’d never been close to a legislative process for the past 200 years would deem that sequence of events corrupt, but deliberate ignorance is what drives this entire appearance of impropriety movement.

And that brings us to Dave McKinney, who resigned last week as the statehouse bureau chief for the Chicago SunTimes.

McKinney married political consultant Ann Liston in April.

Months before, however, McKinney, Liston and her business partner, Eric Adelstein,

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller constructed a super-strong “firewall” between Liston and Illinois politics. Adelstein formed a new company to handle all Illinois accounts, and Liston would not participate in those campaigns nor receive any compensation. The SunTimes signed off in January.

By all rights, that should’ve been the end of it. The Rauner campaign knew about McKinney’s marriage and never once complained, especially when McKinney was repeatedly and thoroughly gutting Gov. Pat Quinn over his botched 2010 anti-violence initiative.

Rauner’s campaign waited until October to play the “appearance of impropriety” card against McKinney when the Sun-Times ran a big story about how two people swore in affidavits Rauner had issued threats against a top female executive at one of his investment firm’s companies.

After failing to derail the piece, the Rauner campaign launched an attack on McKinney, who was just one of the story’s three authors.

Rauner’s campaign falsely charged that Liston was directly involved with, and directly profiting from, anti-Rauner efforts in Illinois. McKinney never should have been put on the story, they claimed, even though two other reporters were involved, both from the local NBC TV affiliate, and the paper’s editors had thoroughly vetted and approved the piece.

Instead of just telling the Rauner people to go suck an egg, McKinney’s bosses sidelined the reporter for the better part of the week. Rauner had successfully used the “appearance of impropriety” attack against one of the state’s top political reporters just three weeks before an election.

McKinney hired famed former federal prosecutor Patrick Collins, and quickly was taken off his informal suspension.

But the paper balked at putting McKinney back on his own beat. He was offered other positions at the paper, which he considered demotions.

And then his editors initially refused to put his byline on a follow-up piece to the Rauner threat story. Appearances, ya know.

McKinney quit.

But the Sun-Times has its own “appearance of impropriety” problems. Rauner owned 10 percent of the paper until last year. A published report claims Rauner purchased 900,000 shares of a once-struggling business controlled by the chairman of the Sun-Times’ parent company.

Even worse, the paper’s publisher called the Rauner campaign’s allegations against McKinney, “spurious,” as well as “inaccurate and defamatory.” Yet that same publisher reversed his almost three-yearold policy of never endorsing candidates and approved an enthusiastic endorsement of Rauner around the same time, leading many to ask why he would back someone for the state’s top job after the candidate had “defamed” the guy who would be covering Rauner in Springfield if he’s elected.

One would hope journalists and their editors would learn from this debacle. The appearance of impropriety is always in the eye of the beholder. It’s absolutely impossible to defend against if someone is willing to suspend all disbelief and push that angle hard enough.

But this mindset is just too deeply embedded to be abandoned so easily, even after it unjustly derailed a good man’s career.

True berries include a wide variety of fruits that most people may not consider to be berries, such as avocados, bananas, grapes, oranges, peppers, pumpkins, tomatoes and watermelons.

Nearly all berries are slightly radioactive.

The harmless, natural radioactivity you receive from a berry is less than you would get from a tile floor, granite countertop or bag of kitty litter.

Botanists define a true berry as a simple fruit that grows from a single ovary and contains seeds within a fleshy pulp.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Computer programs make strange leads

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Wernher von Braun said, “The best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.”

But didn’t von Braun’s rockets need computers to guide them?

However, computers are useless unless programmed. And although many, many man-hours have been put into writing bridge-playing programs, they still cannot compete with humans.

As an example, look at the West hand in the diagram. What would you lead against four hearts after the given auction?

North-South were using two-overone game-forcing. South decided to overbid slightly, forcing to game with his two-heart bid. Instead, he might have responded three hearts, which would have shown at least six hearts and been game-invitational. North would presumably have passed that out.

Against four hearts, surely every human would have led the diamond king. Now, it is true that if declarer ducks that trick, West must shift to his heart king to defeat the contract for sure. But that is not an impossible play to find if West trusts his partner’s discouraging signal at trick one. (If West continues diamonds, South wins with his ace, ruffs his third diamond in the dummy, and leads the spade king to ruff out East’s ace. Then declarer can play two rounds of trumps, ruff West’s diamond exit, cross to dummy with a club, and discard his two club losers on the queen and jack of spades.)

At the table, the computer program sitting West led the spade 10! That is incomprehensible. Now South easily made his game.

Dear Doctor K: You’ve written that chronic inflammation has been linked to diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Is there anything I can do to fight inflammation without using medications?

Dear reader: Inflammation in the body is a double-edged sword. Short-lived inflammation, directed by your immune system at invaders like bacteria or viruses, protects your health.

But sometimes inflammation persists, even when there is no health threat.

That’s when it can become your enemy. Many major diseases have been linked to chronic (ongoing) inflammation, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression and Alzheimer’s.

The good news is that powerful tools to combat inflammation can be found in the grocery store. I spoke to my colleague Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. He explained that components of many common foods have anti-inflammatory effects.

By choosing the right foods, you may be able to reduce your risk of illness.

Consistently pick the wrong foods, however, and you might speed up the inflammatory disease process.

The same foods that contribute to inflammation are already generally considered bad for our health, so it’s easier to remember them.

They include sodas, refined carbohydrates, and red and processed meats. These foods affect inflammation directly.

They also contribute to weight gain, which is itself a risk factor for inflammation.

How does that happen? When you put on weight, the fat cells in your body become more numerous and also grow larger.

We used to think that what fat did was provide a storehouse of energy for when we needed it, sort of like insulation that protected us against the cold. In the past 20 years we’ve learned

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff that fat cells are little factories that make hormones and immune system chemicals.

These substances influence our appetite, our metabolism – and inflammation.

To reduce inflammation, avoid or limit: • Refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pastries; • Fried foods such as french fries; • Soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages; • Red meat (burgers, steaks); • Processed meat (hot dogs, cold cuts); • Margarine, shortening and lard.

On the flip side are foods and beverages that reduce the risk of inflammation and chronic disease. Fruits and vegetables are particularly effective. Good choices are blueberries, apples and leafy greens, which are high in natural antioxidants and polyphenols. These are protective compounds found in plants. Nuts and coffee may also be protective.

Include plenty of these anti-inflammatory foods in your diet: • Tomatoes • Olive oil • Green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale and collards • Nuts, such as almonds and walnuts • Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines • Fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, apples, cherries and oranges • Spices, particularly ginger and turmeric If you’re looking for a dietary plan that closely follows the tenets of anti-inflammatory eating, consider the Mediterranean diet. This diet is high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fish and healthy oils.

Incumbent Cloonen looking to retain seat

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

More coverage

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com KANKAKEE – Democrat incumbent state Rep. Kate Cloonen, D-Kankakee, was elected to the new 79th District in 2012, and is knocking on doors to talk to the people to continue representing them.

The 79th District now includes part of the southeast corner of Grundy County after the 2011 legislative redistrict- Kate Cloonen ing.

Cloonen faces Glenn Nixon, R-Bourbonnais, in the Nov. 4 election.

Cloonen believes her background as a teacher, farmer and a construction business owner gives her insight into

many of the issues facing her district.

“I’ve owned a construction company for 20 years and prior to that I was a teacher, and I owned a farm near Bonfield,” Cloonen said. “I understand the issues that are important.

I have to be mindful of my district, which includes both rural areas as well as the city.”

Cloonen said the state’s budget is the biggest issue facing Springfield legislators.

“Everything revolves around a balanced budget,” she said. “I think we need to

continue to support only a balanced budget.”

She said job creation in Illinois is the key to getting more revenue to help with the state budget, and she’s discussed unemployment with her constituents as she’s canvassed her district knocking on doors.

“I’ve sponsored legislation that helps with the cost of starting up a business,”

Cloonen said. “I want to continue to make Illinois a place where businesses want to be.”

She has fulfilled the promises she made to voters when elected in 2012, she said, and has supported conceal carry laws, sponsored three veterans bills and worked across the aisle to help farmers.

The concerns she said she hears from residents include

education, income tax and jobs.

Cloonen is against making the 2011 temporary tax hike permanent, she said.

“I’m not in favor of making the temporary tax hike permanent. No matter what happens on Election Day, I will vote against it,” Cloonen said.

Cloonen and her husband, Gary live in rural Kankakee.

3 Ways Republicans Have Failed Grundy Residents When It Comes To Leadership And Management 1. The turnover of four county administrators in three years and three human resource directors in two years under the leadership of Republicans Vicki Geiger, Chris Balkema and Ron Severson has created a very unstable working environment as well as made it unattractive to industry to locate here with good paying jobs.

2. The County Human Resources Director helped the County Administrator in creating a full-time job for her husband, while at the same time seeking to promote her own assistant to full-time pay with benefits. Republican leadership has taken no action to terminate nor discipline either employee.

3. Republican County Board Member Deb Warning demanded at a Health Committee meeting to know why “her friend” was not hired by the county. (Health Committee Minutes 3/22/13).

It is time to have common-sense leadership working on behalf of the working men and women of Grundy County.

3 Ways Republicans Have Failed Grundy Residents When It Comes To Transparency and Ethics 1. Republicans ignored county Auditor and Treasurer recommendations for better financial reporting by the health department resulting in $44,000 missing from the health department as the result of alleged theft. (Morris Daily Herald 6/6/14) 2. An ethics commission was created two years ago and filled with appointees of Republican Chairman Severson but it has no authority to investigate, has no rules or bylaws, and has taken no action since being formed.

3. Republican county board leaders have gone into “executive session” to hide their discussions dozens of times over the last two years, often in suspected violation of the open meetings act.

He said there is no reason it should cost businesses more to be located in Illinois than it does in Indiana, where some are relocating.

He said state pensions also are a looming issue he wants to address once elected.

“We have hundreds of people making over $150,000 in pensions and a lot of people take advantage of collecting more than one,” he said. “I”m not against pensions, but we have to stop the rampant abuse.”

He said the bloated pension system has to be fixed.

“Illinois has the first half million dollar state pension recipient,” he said. “If he collects that pension for 20 years, how is that sustainable?”

He is in favor of eliminating legislative pensions.

“It seems unfair to take a pension,” he said. “I’m not doing it for gain or profit.”

BOURBONNAIS – Glenn Nixon, R-Bourbonnais, may have lost the election for state representative of the 79th District against Kate Cloonen in 2012, but just narrowly.

He hopes for a different outcome this election. Nixon is again running against incumbent Cloonen, D-Kankakee.

Nixon is a former police Glenn Nixon officer with the Bourbonnais Police Department, there for more than 15 years, and also worked with the Manteno Police Department. He moved to the area 25 years ago from Boston.

He said after moving to the area he started volunteering as an auxiliary police officer and decided to attend Kankakee Community College to get his criminal justice degree.

He decided to run for state representative after becoming frustrated with the way the government has failed to grow the state, he said.

“We live in a prime area for industrial growth,” Nixon said.

“This state has to get competitive with our neighbors.”

Nixon lives in Bourbonnais with his wife, Lynn.

He said he’d like to see the state reduce the tax burden on individuals and is against extending the temporary tax increase that started in 2011.

“The 2011 increase is equal to one week pay lost, so by the fourth year we’ve basically given up one month’s pay,” Nixon said. “It’s great they paid off $4 billion in debt, but they collected $30 billion, so they wasted it.”

He said the state is in worse condition than when he ran in 2012.

“It all comes down to job growth, people shouldn’t have to drive to Chicago for work,” he said. “We have to pull companies into our area and stabilize our market. We need to put

Minooka holds bonfire at Lakewood Ball Park

By JEAN TYRELL Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – Minooka residents gathered Saturday to visit around a blazing fire.

The Community Bonfire attracted about 100 participants for an evening that included a storyteller and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. This has become an annual event at the Lakewood Ball Park.

New resident Michelle Magaña thought the night out with her family was great.

“We enjoy being out. It’s something safe for the kids and a good alternative for the video games.

“What boy doesn’t like a fire?” she asked.

She and her husband, Luis, her sons and nephews found a spot in the ring of adults and children who encircled the fire.

Initially, as the bonfire, which was constructed by Boy Scout Troop 464, towered above the crowd the Magaña’s and others moved away from the blaze. It was too hot.

But as the evening went on the circle drew closer to the bright fire. The adults visited; the youngsters ran through the nearby grassy areas playing tag in the dark and some of the bigger kids tossed a ball on the soccer field.

FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS

Jean Tyrell for Shaw Media

Hot dogs and marshmallows were roasted Saturday at the Minooka village bonfire.

The Boy Scouts and leaders of Troop 464 put the wood in a pile before the event began, said Troop Assistant Scout Master Jim Turba. Although the group had prepared cut wood, a donation of pallets became the fuel for the fire and thus provided the framework for upright tower.

The fire was lit about 6:30 p.m. and the dry pallets caught fire almost immediately. The fire was large at first and as soon as it started to die down from the initial inferno, children with hot dogs on sticks approached the still-hot fire, shielding their faces with their hoodies as they held their sticks as close as they dared.

Kimberly Peterson, 44, walked from the nearby Lake-

wood subdivision at the invitation of her young neighbor, Madison Collins. For the pair it was a pajama party. Peterson, too, thought the evening was a great night out.

Storyteller Stephen Clark in his fanciful hat enthralled the crowd with his tale of the “Heartless Giant,” a giant who learns what it means to develop a kinder spirit.

The hot dogs and marshmallows were provided by the village of Minooka, said Mayor Pat Brennan, who was in attendance. His wife, Denise, along with Recreation and Public Relations Coordinator Laurie Musclow, helped serve the hot dogs and pop.

The village fire department was on standby if needed.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar. According to American Diabetes Association, in 2012, 9.3 percent of the American population had diabetes, up from 8.3 percent in 2010. While there is no cure for diabetes, proper management of the condition often can help avoid serious health complications including heart disease,

FAMILY TABLE 3 Halloween projects to craft into spooky desserts

By JOE GRAY

the day of your party.

Chicago Tribune CHICAGO – You want a special Halloween dessert, but you’re no Martha Stewart?

We’ve got a plan. Using three building blocks, you can choose from three desserts, each requiring different levels of kitchen wizardry – from kitchen putterer to accomplished decorator – but all delicious and inviting.

Those blocks: vanilla pudding, a chocolate rollout cookie dough and chunks of chocolate. Each component is used in slightly different fashion for each project. Depending on the project, you may need frozen pop containers, Halloween cookie cutters, decorator icing and/or seasonal sprinkles.

And the projects: chocolate-dipped, crushed-cookie pudding pops (easy); pudding with chocolate-filled cookie sandwiches (medium); and a grave, complete with cookie tombstone (advanced).

I am providing recipes from our archives for the pudding and cookie dough, but you can use store-bought pudding, if you prefer, and your favorite rollout cookie instead of the one here. Each project requires some prep work, but the pudding and cookie dough can each be made a day or two ahead, leaving assembly to

PUDDING POPS 1. Portion pudding into 4 frozen pop containers. Freeze 5 hours. Meanwhile, bake up a batch of the chocolate rollout cookies. Crush some of the cookies with a rolling pin; place them in a shallow dish. (You can use store-bought chocolate wafers instead.)

2. Melt 8 ounces chopped milk or dark chocolate in a metal or glass bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring, until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter or vegetable oil to achieve a dipping consistency.

3. Pour chocolate into a tall narrow cup, such as a measuring cup that’s almost as tall as your pudding pops; allow to cool a little. (Chocolate may not stick if it is too warm.) Dip pops into the chocolate to coat. Roll immediately in the crushed cookies.

Work quickly so that the pops stay very cold. Return to freezer if not serving immediately.

Housekeeping, Redbook and Country Living: Heat 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk and 8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, cut up, in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, just until chocolate melts.

Remove from the heat. Let fill- martini glasses. Serve with the ing cool to room temperature sandwich cookies. before using. Use the filling to sandwich the cookies in pairs, COOKIE AND using the decorated cookie for PUDDING GRAVES the top half.

3 Ways Republicans Have Failed Grundy Residents When It Comes To Taxes And Spending 1. Under the Republican-controlled County Board, the Grundy County property tax rate has increased 13% over the last four years from 6.60% in 2010 to 7.50% in 2013.

2. Spending by the Republican-controlled County Board has actually increased from $14,628,374 in 2011 to $15,372,014 in 2014, an increase of $743,640, almost 3/4 of a million dollars. (Statements of Amended Budgets for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014).

3. Republicans Ron Severson, Chris Balkema and David Welter, ignoring the Grundy County Assessor’s expert opinion of the true assessed value of the Dresden facility, negotiated with Exelon to reduce the Dresden nuclear plant assessed valuation causing Grundy County and the area schools to lose millions of dollars of revenue from 2013 until 2018, instead shifting the tax burden onto the working middle class families of Grundy County. Under Democratic Leadership, the Dresden plant, a plant with another 20 year renewal of its license and increasing electric rates and fees, saw increases in its assessed valuation, adding to our tax base and lessening the tax burden on Grundy homeowners.

It is time to have common-sense leadership working on behalf of the working men and women of Grundy County.

PUDDING AND COOKIES 1. Mix up a batch of the cookies to cut into Halloween shapes; you need two matching shapes for each finished cookie. Decorate one set of the cookies with store-bought icing, sprinkles and other festive ingredients.

2. Make this simple chocolate cookie sandwich filling from “Holiday Cheer,” a new cookbook by the editors of Good

3 Ways Republicans Have Failed Grundy Residents When It Comes To Leadership And Management 1. Due to a loss of confidence in the Republican-controlled County Board, two new employee unions have formed among the county employees resulting in additional costs in negotiating more union contracts.

2. Republican County Board Member Teryl Lundeen resigned due to not living in Grundy County, possibly since before her election, but still collected her paycheck and other benefits equaling thousands of dollars. (Grundy County Board Minutes 7/8/14) 3. The turnover of four county administrators in three years and three human resource directors in two years under the leadership of Republicans Vicki Geiger, Chris Balkema and Ron Severson has created a very unstable working environment as well as made it unattractive to industry to locate here with good paying jobs.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTER: THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING I CARE To the Editor: Isn’t it amazing what a group of people can do when they work together? Recently, I Care International held a fundraiser at the Terry and Carol Seggebruch farm. To be honest, the committee was a little nervous going into the event because it was the first time it was held. It is hard to plan for food and drink when you are not certain how many people will show up.

The community was amazing and many people came from different walks of life. It was overwhelming to be supported by so many. By your generosity, you have touched so many lives who would never have the opportunity to receive an eye exam or glasses.

I Care is especially grateful to Terry and Carol Seggebruch for opening their home for the evening. They made the night possible. Also, Frank Varner/Ebbey’s Sports Bar and Grill for supplying the drinks for the evening and the generous donation to I Care.

Big Sky Blind provided the music that was enjoyed by all. Students from Morris High School National Honor Society were on hand for the evening to demonstrate how they help to clean and packages glasses for the mission trips. All

these groups donated their time and talent to support I Care.

Every year the students of both Morris and Marquette High School prepare approximately 6,000 for each mission trip. These used glasses have been donated by the public.

I Care International is a nonprofit organization that grew out of the experience and dreams of people dedicated to helping others. Initially it was formed over 30 years ago

by Dr. Phil Ortiz of Morris and the late Dr. Charles Cools along with a group of volunteers as a mission to provide eye care to the less fortunate men, women and children around the world. Volunteers have provided thousands of people with eye care in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, Arizona, Florida and Illinois.

Vote for Callahan for Sheriff To the Editor: From the early ’70s, I dedicated 35 years of my life to helping the people of our Grundy County. I was successful in getting We Care incorporated so we could reach out throughout the county, not just Morris.

During that time I worked with law enforcement on a daily basis: local, state and county. There was always total cooperation from all. I resent the insinuations that if one doesn’t “have the right address or right name,” no help would be forthcoming. The sheriff’s department always assisted me in reaching out to all who were in need.

Now, as a retired senior citizen, I support Kevin Callahan and urge all to vote to retain him as our sheriff.

“Brennan helps us realize that we can never take a single play for granted,” senior linebacker and fullback Matt Feiden added. “We’ve had guys who’ve been taken out for the season and we know how rough it is, but being able to see him over on the sidelines smiling, knowing he isn’t going to get to play puts it in perspective. He’s just awesome.”

When Brennan Martin smiles, everyone smiles. His disease is genetic, but his smile is infectious.

MORRIS – Down on the field after the Morris Redskins clinched a playoff berth with a 49-7 win over LaSalle-Peru Brennan Martin is beaming.

Wearing a jersey a little different than all the others, he smiles a toothy, 9-year-old smile and talks about how happy he is and how much fun he gets to have.

He talks about getting to go horseback riding at a Special Olympics event Saturday before dashing off and into the Morris huddle where he breaks the players down. It’s hard to imagine a time when Brennan isn’t smiling, which is unremarkable when you consider all the jovial, little 9-year-olds the world has to offer, but pretty incredible when you think about this particular 9-year-old.

Brennan Martin has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic disease that affects roughly 1 out of every 3,600 boys. The disorder is caused by a gene mutation on the X chromosome that essentially prohibits the body from producing stable muscular cell tissue.

It’s not a disease that causes Brennan an incredible amount of physical pain, but it can make everyday tasks that seem relatively simple like bringing in the groceries incredibly fatiguing. Because of this, Brennan can no longer participate in team sports.

“We found out about two years ago now,” Brennan’s father, Mike Martin said. “We had taken him to some doctors a few years before that and nobody really figured it out, but we were eventually referred to a specialist and as soon as we saw the neurologist they were quick to identify the likelihood that he had muscular dystrophy.

“He played one year [of organized football] and he broke his arm. So I had to ask him if he’d be interested in helping out coaching and he coached with me the rest of that year.”

As a coach, Brennan did whatever he could to be a part of the team, first with the Chiefs and then with the Morris Warriors. There, Brennan’s con-

stantly positive attitude made him a hit among the players, coaches and parents.

That enthusiasm caught the attention of a few folks with some influence within the Redskins program, and Brennan became a fixture on the sidelines of varsity football games.

“He’s just a lovable kid.

There’s probably not a better way to say it,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said after Brennan broke the huddle late Friday night. “He’s a kid that was involved in our youth programs, and Scott Miracle mentioned that he loved football and loved coaching and that he wanted to get a chance to meet me.

“We let him start coming on the sidelines and then next thing you knew he was at practices and he’s just become a part

COAL CITY – One trademark of the Morris girls volleyball team throughout the 2014 season has been that the Redskins can handle adversity.

They have been since the start of the season, when they began their first practice with six varsity players.

They had built the roster to 15 entering Thursday night’s Class 3A Coal City Regional semifinal match against second-seeded Herscher, and had finally finished the process of becoming a team.

Unfortunately, the process ended all too soon, as Manteno scored a 21-25, 25-23, 25-22 win to advance to Thursday’s regional title game against Herscher.

“Kaylin had 25 kills,” Litwiller said. “What else can you say about her? I thought all three seniors [Misek, Thomas and Torkelson] stepped up and played very well tonight. I am very proud of them.

“These girls never gave up,” Morris coach Jackie Litwiller said. “We started the season with six [players] and ended with 15. It’s a shame it has to end too soon, but they worked hard and everyone meshed well.

“We kept working hard through our conference season, hoping to prepare for games like this. I think we played hard and everyone left it on the court.”

The Redskins, who finish the season with an 18-16 record, dealt with adversity right from the start, falling behind 6-0, then 7-1.

Senior Emma Thomas then stepped to the service line and, by the time she was done, Morris had tied the game at 7. From there, they outscored Manteno 18-14 as Kaylin Korte had eight of her team-leading 25 kills in the first game.

The second game was more of the same, as the Panthers jumped out to a 9-1 lead. This time, the closest Morris could get was 15-13 midway through the game, but the Redskins did close it to 24-23 on an ace by Taya Torkelson before Manteno got the last point to force a third game.

The third was back-andforth the whole way, with Manteno’s biggest lead being 10-8 in the early going and Morris rallying to grab a 17-15 advantage.

Manteno then went ahead, 1918, and never trailed again.

After Korte’s 25 kills, Janelle Brehm had six and Thomas added four, while Brehm led with 14 digs. Korte had 13 and Amber Misek had 12. Ashley Hood had 19 assists

Coal City falls short

Bears can’t win as they are now Monday nights and Tuesdays are my favorite part of the week during the NFL season because that’s when I get to sit down, block out all the “noise” and just study the Chicago Bears’ most recent game.

Please understand my grades aren’t necessarily going to match up with the Bears’ coaches. I don’t have the Bears’ playbook and I can’t always know what every player’s responsibility is on every play.

It is pretty easy to tell a man-to-man coverage from a Cover 2, or four deep shell, but Mel Tucker might expect different things from certain players in those schemes than other defensive coordinators.

On offense, of course, I know the A gap from the C gap or the one hole from

the four hole, but without a playbook I can’t tell you if a receiver ran exactly the right route and I don’t know what blocking scheme Roberto Garza called for.

What I can see is effort, technique, footwork, speed, quickness, accuracy and how many physical confrontations a player wins, how many he draws and how many he loses.

One other note, what you’ve got here is between 650 and 680 words. To write up actual reports on individual players I’d need at least 500 words each, as in times 25.

My goal is to point out who we should admire, who

ed. They all did their jobs and then some against the Patriots. Bennett may have had the best game of his career and Slauson had easily his best performance of the season.

Jay Cutler wasn’t bad most of the game, but at quarterback you can’t make the three or four huge mistakes he made and get a passing grade.

Defensively, could anybody have played well if they allowed 51 points, 32 first downs and 487 yards?

But more than a few guys really did try to earn their paychecks Sunday. Unfortunately, the Patriots were pretty much unstopable and unbeatable.

disappointed us and who the Bears can win with and who they can’t.

Tom Brady is one of the three, four or five greatest quarterbacks of all time and Sunday was one of the best performances of his life.

With 30 completions, three passes dropped and two errant throws, he was close to perfection.

Rob Gronkowski, when healthy, is a freak and a force of nature. Sunday he was all that and no defense was going to stop him.

Especially not a sub-.500 team heading in the wrong direction, which is what the Bears are.

Tight end Martellus Bennett, running back Matt Forte and linemen Jermon Bushrod, Matt Slauson and, of course, Kyle Long are to be commend-

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Distribution leads to aggression

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Joey Adams, a comedian and columnist, said, “The computer can do more work faster than a human because it doesn’t have to answer the phone.”

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could phone your friendly bridge pro when you have a problem at the table?

How would you analyze the bidding in this deal, and what is West’s best opening lead against four spades doubled?

When East opened one diamond, South would have liked to describe his two-suiter immediately, but he could not. A two-diamond Michaels Cue-Bid would have shown both majors, and an Unusual Two-No-trump overcall would have indicated hearts and clubs (the two lowest-ranking unbid suits).

West made a negative double to show four hearts (or perhaps five with insufficient strength to respond two hearts). North cue-bid two diamonds to indicate a maximum pass with at least three-card spade support. Then East jumped to three hearts, which was a slight overbid. Now South decided to keep his club suit hidden. And East’s rebid persuaded West to double four spades.

When the opponents bid game and your side has the balance of power, a trump lead is usually best – as it is here (but admittedly tough to find).

After winning the first trick, West shifts to a diamond. South will win with dummy’s ace, play a club to his ace, and ruff a club, but East can overruff and return his last trump, which results in down two.

If West leads a diamond, South just has to be careful to ruff the first club with dummy’s spade eight or 10. Then he can escape for down one.

COVER STORY

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County voters who still are making up their minds about who they will vote for Nov. 4 had a chance to hear the candidates Tuesday night at the Grundy County Farm Bureau’s Meet the Candidates Night.

The event was held at the Morris VFW and was sponsored by the farm bureau and WCSJ radio.

The Grundy County Board candidates shared their opinions on everything from hiring an administrator to bringing industry to the county. Questions were submitted to the Grundy County Farm Bureau before the night’s event with more questions added by those attending the event. Scott Halpin District 5 Farm Bureau president acted as mediator.

Eight County board candidates came to answer the questions addressed to them, and one had a letter read. Those in attendance were Ken Iverson-D, John Almer-R, Millie Dyer-R, Dick Joyce-D, Debra Warning-R, Laura Prosise Hrechko-D, David Nelson-R and Mike Clemons-D. Kerri Courtright-R had a statement read by her father.

Several candidates addressed the change in administrator position, which has had turn over in the last few years.

“I think now we’re just

Grundy County Board candidates Ken Iverson, Dick Joyce, Millie Dyer and John Almer participate in Tuesday night’s Meet the Candidates Night hosted by the Grundy County Farm Bureau and WCSJ radio. spinning our wheels,” Joyce said. “We have to have progress. We need to hire people that have a track record and let them do their job.”

Dyer echoed the sentiment stating that the county needs to have stability, which they haven’t had with the turn over in administration. She said one of the issues is the job doesn’t pay what qualified candidates are worth.

Almer said they have had some problems with some in leadership positions and asking one person to do two jobs

wasn’t the right thing to do because both jobs will suffer.

Iverson said some of the turn over was for personal reasons that he doesn’t feel is fair to go into. He feels whoever they find to fill the administrator needs to have a strong business and finance background.

Prosise Hrechko said the board needs to work together to hire the administrator.

Economic development was another issue asked by the moderator and addressed by some of the County Board members.

Nelson said economic development is very important to the county and that the Morris Downtown Development Partnership and the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce have done a good job, but the board needs to ask how can Grundy County be more attractive to businesses?

Warning said she considers herself a good ambassador for the county and that she is glad to hear everyone talk about keeping taxes low because Illinois is one of the most unfriendly states to business. But

she said there is a lot they can do on the county level.

Clemmons said that Grundy County has a great infrastructure to bring business to the county, with highways, railway and the new Brisbin Road interchange.

He said he believes if the county wants to attract hightech, high-paying jobs, they need to have higher education accessible to those who live in the county without having to drive a county or two away to get a bachelor’s or master’s degree.

Season signals time to change batteries Dear Abby: Smoke alarms are one of the greatest fire safety success stories of our time. Since they were introduced in 1975, home fire deaths have been cut in half, even as the nation’s population has increased by half. But far too many people let the batteries in their smoke alarms wear out, or even remove them to avoid occasional nuisance alarms. And too many people – and their families – pay for their neglect or poor judgment with their lives.

About 2,500 people a year die in structural – mostly residential – fires.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, more than 60 percent of them – more than 1,500 people – are dying in homes that had either no smoke alarms or no working ones. That’s more than three people a day.

This fall marks the 27th consecutive year the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) will partner with Energizer, the manufacturer of batteries, flashlights and lanterns, in the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program. Together, we’re asking people to test their existing batteries or install fresh ones in their smoke alarms in conjunction with the end of daylight saving time on Sunday, Nov. 2. It takes only a few minutes.

This will not only give families critical early warning time to escape a fire, but also helps to protect our firefighters by reducing the likelihood they’ll have to enter a burning home to rescue someone still inside.

Your daily column helps people improve their lives.

Please help me save lives by printing my letter.

Thank you, Abby. – Fire

Chief G. Keith Bryant, IAFC president

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Chief Bryant: You’re welcome. It’s tragic to read and hear about families who have died because of something that could have been so easily prevented.

Readers, I’m giving you notice. Friday is Halloween, and Saturday night at bedtime is when you’ll be turning your clocks back to standard time. Please remember to add smoke detector batteries to your shopping list this week.

That way, they’ll be at hand when we check our smoke alarms to ensure they are working properly.

No procrastinating!

Home fires happen more frequently during the cold winter months, so protecting yourselves and your families at this time of year is particularly important.

Dear Abby: I have a T-shirt I bought when I was younger and wilder. It has a filthy message on it, so I can’t donate it to charity, and I’m even embarrassed to throw it out. I’d hate to, because I have worn it only once. It seems wasteful to throw out something in such good shape.

What should I do? –

More Mature Now Dear More Mature: People who wear T-shirts with filthy slogans send a message that they either agree with what it says or think it’s funny. Because the shirt no longer “speaks” for you, wear it when you’re alone in your house, or admit you made a mistake in buying it and turn it into a dust rag.

Land Use director keeps county position

By NICK SAMUEL nsamuel@shawmedia.com MORRIS – On Tuesday the Grundy County Land Use Department functioned as usual without the concern of losing its director.

During a special board meeting Monday, the Grundy County Board did not terminate Land Use Director Heidi Miller, but voted to add a notation to her file regarding her previous actions.

“I thought it was a fair decision. There was a mistake made, and I accept the blame for that,” Miller said Tuesday. “I’m happy to be working cooperatively with all the board members.

They’ve been very supportive.”

Miller was previously the county administrator and the Land Use director, but resigned from her county administrator position in September after she said she made a mistake by not following proper hiring protocol in her administrator position. She hoped to keep her Land Use position.

The board accepted her resignation at its regular October meeting and said it would decide on her Land Use position at a later date.

The board decided Monday not to terminate Miller as the Land Use Department leader

and rather put a letter on file for both Miller and Debra Johnson of the Human Resources Department.

The action was approved after a lengthy executive session.

Before the executive session, Cheryl Wardell, assistant in the Land Use Department, stepped up to the podium to tell board members why they shouldn’t terminate Miller.

“Taxpayers deserve to have a director who is competent in her duties. Why on earth would we let all of that walk out of the door?” she asked. “If they terminate her, I don’t know who would do her job because it wouldn’t be me. I don’t know half of what she knows.”

Miller submitted her resignation as county administrator in September, after five months on the job as administrator.

Prior to officially becoming the administrator, she served as the interim administrator. She has continued her Land Use position.

The board voted Monday to place the letters on file for Miller and Johnson for two years at a 10-3 vote, with members Eric Rasmusson, Frank Halpin and Harold Vota voting “no.”

The letter states Miller did not follow proper protocol and that Johnson should’ve stopped

County human resources director resigns

By NICK SAMUEL nsamuel@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In addition to searching for a new administrator, Grundy County is now looking for a new human resources director.

Debra Johnson, former human resources director, resigned from her job during a closed executive session of a special Grundy County Board meeting held Monday night.

“I just wanted to read my resignation letter when they were gathered so they could hear it from me,” Johnson said Tuesday.

The board was meeting to discuss Land Use Director Heidi Miller’s position. Miller, who previously was both the Land Use director and county administrator, resigned as administrator in September when it came out that she did not follow hiring protocol.

Johnson said her resignation has nothing to do with the

board’s action Monday, which was to put letters on file for Johnson and Miller regarding Miller’s breach of protocol.

The resignation, which is effective at the end of November, came because the personnel committee insisted it wanted a full-time human resources director instead of a part-time employee, Johnson said.

County Board Chairman Ron Severson said Tuesday that Johnson made it clear when she first got hired that she could only work part time, four days a week.

“She saw no other option but to resign,” he said. “I’ve got a good relationship with her and I know she was doing a good job.”

Although the board was aware of Johnson’s resignation during Monday’s executive session, members did not share the information publicly that night. Severson confirmed the resignation when reached Tuesday.

Severson said he didn’t mention Johnson’s resignation to the public when board members returned to open session at Monday’s meeting because members aren’t supposed to talk about any matters from closed sessions.

Johnson plans to return to her previous employer and work part time. Severson said he recommends hiring a replacement as quickly as possible before Johnson leaves.

“Debra said if they got someone in here in the next few weeks, she would train that person,” Severson said.

The Grundy County Finance Committee recently questioned a proposed hiring

by Johnson, who had asked for a full-time assistant to replace a part-time assistant who left earlier this year.

A replacement was approved and budgeted at a parttime salary. But according to

A LIFETIME DEDICATED TO KEEPING THE CITIZENS OF GRUNDY COUNTY SAFE

I’ve made it a point to run my campaign to be your Sheriff for another 4 year term, in a positive, honest and ethical manner, giving you my qualifications…and the reasons I am the best candidate to be the Sheriff of Grundy County.

I dedicated the past 31 years of my life in the Grundy County Sheriff’s office because I love my job and Grundy County is my home. I never planned to use this position as a steppingstone to a higher paying job elsewhere like some have.

My wife Colleen and I built our home here in Wauponsee Township in 1991. That’s where we both planned to spend the rest of our lives.

I want to be your Sheriff not only for the next 4 years, but for the following 4 years and more, keeping Grundy County one of the most wonderful places to live and raise a family as any community in the USA. As your Sheriff, I will continue to work hard while being available and fair to each and everyone. I pride myself on running this office in a transparent, non-partisan manner.

My opponent has recently made some untrue statements about my experience and qualifications. I shouldn’t be surprised as he used the same tactics inthe primary against Ron Marx, trying to ruin a good man’s reputation.

I thought it only right to give you the TRUE FACTS about me and my opponent clarifying the source of the findings at the bottom of this article.

Before Hoppe’s hiring, Denise Kasper had left the Human Resources position in November 2012. The county hired Lindsay Ferguson to a part-time position in February 2013, but she quit after one week. Hoppe was hired as her replacement on a full-time basis.

Johnson has resigned from the post previously, in May of this year, but rescinded that resignation the next day.

The Grundy County Board is expected to vote on Johnson’s resignation at its November meeting.

Johnson at the time, the Human Resources Department required more than two parttime employees and hiring a full-time assistant while keeping her part time was more cost-effective than hiring her on as a full-time director.

On Monday night, the County Board decided to place letters on file for Miller and Johnson for two years.

The letter states Johnson should’ve stopped Miller from not following proper hiring protocol when Miller was administrator. Miller resigned from her position as administrator due to the protocol vio-

lation, but hoped to keep her Land Use position.

The board Monday decided to let Miller keep the Land Use job.

Johnson said no one told her about the board’s decision to place a letter in her file after she left the meeting Monday, following the reading of her resignation letter.

“No one has expressed to me what came out of [Monday] night’s meeting, so it’s hard for me to comment,” she said.

“I’ve been here all day [Tuesday] and met with Ron [on Tuesday] morning.”
