How to apply

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Republican Party Central Committee is holding a caucus Nov. 21 as it seeks to nominate a successor for the recently resigned Morris Second Ward Alderman Doug Hayse.

Michael Mattingly, chairman of the Grundy County GOP, said he was surprised

by Hayse’s decision, but he’s looking at it as a chance for another qualified individual to represent the ward.

“It’s an opportunity for a resident of the Second Ward to serve, as one door closes and another opens,” he said.

If the next alderman is of the same quality as Hayse, Mattingly said, the ward will be well-served. The nomination will be decided by Republican precinct committee-persons who represent the voting precincts in the corporate limits of Morris. It will be submitted to Mayor Richard Kopczick and the City Council for consideration, which, according to state statute, has 60 days from Nov. 2 to appoint a new alderman.

Hayse said Tuesday the

Mattingly, Chairman, P.O. Box 642, Morris, Illinois 60450 or email it to grundycountyrepublicans@gmail.com.

All applications must be received by 5:30 p.m. Nov. 19 to be given consideration by the political party caucus, which is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.

Nov. 21 at the Saratoga Township Hall, 9080 Route 47, Morris. Qualified potential Republican nominees also will be invited to make a presentation to the caucus. biggest factor in his decision to resign was the lack of time he was able to devote to both the city and his family. When he began his term earlier this year, he would get home around 2:30 p.m. from his fulltime job and work on city topics. But he said he joined in a business that has grown considerably, to the point that he was working two jobs – from early morning until late at night and on weekends. He felt something had to give because he said he wasn’t able to give residents the time he owed them.

“I thought they deserved better,” Hayse said. “I’d hope that anyone considering run-

The Second Ward has seen some turnover in leadership this year. Julian Houston was appointed to fill the seat of the retired Ken Sereno by Kopczick after two months of council debate.

Mattingly wrote in July in response to the appointment of Houston that he believed the mayor should continue to appoint individuals if the council was unable to approve them. Mattingly said Tuesday he wishes voters in the Second Ward were the ones picking the next alderman.

Morris resident Alan Love remembers life as a Marine in Vietnam

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The road to his childhood dream of being a police officer took Alan Love to a country he never heard of and a war he knew nothing about.

“I knew I wanted to be a police officer, and a state police officer said to get my military service out of the way when I graduated high school,” said Love, of Morris. “I signed up for the Marines in June and left in September to boot camp.”

The year was 1965, and the country was sending combat troops to Vietnam, and Love was on his way to boot camp.

Love said he joined the U.S. Marine Corps because his father, a World War II veteran, told him how impressed he was with the Marines when he was serving on a Navy battleship.

After boot camp, Love knew he was going to do something with aviation. What he didn’t know was that he would become a mechanic who worked on helicopters, as well as join a squadron responsible for troop insertion and extraction, and operated as a medivac.

“I didn’t know where Vietnam was. I didn’t even know why I was going when they sent me,” Love said.

He fixed and flew Sikorsky UH-34D helicopters and found himself in a squadron called the Ugly Angels.

“They said when we flew in to get them, we looked like angels from the sky,” he said.

“Then when they saw us, they said, ‘Man, you’re ugly.’ ” For a farm kid from Morris, Vietnam couldn’t be more different, and Love said he had to ask himself more than once what he was doing there.

The answer was simple. He understood the motto: “For God, Country and Corps.”

However, he didn’t always keep to that order.

“We were all proud to serve our country back then,” he

guaranteed tomorrow.

He matured from the 18-year-old who enlisted and his sense of values changed.

“The things you valued at home were replaced by other things of value in Vietnam,” he said. “You valued a dishpan to shave in, and staying alive was the most important thing.”

Staying alive was just part of his job.

“Flying and stuff didn’t scare me, doing my job didn’t scare me,” he said. “We thought about the job and didn’t think about anything else. We went with the flow and did our job.

Our job was to keep fellow Marines alive.”

But they weren’t always successful.

Tears filled his eyes as he sat in his Morris home, oxygen flowing through a tube to his nose as he struggled to breathe from his treatment for lung cancer.

“We picked up Marines and stacked them in the back of the helicopter,” he said, while removing his glasses and wiping the tears away. “I’m sorry. All I thought was, ‘What in the hell are we doing here?’ ” To this day he doesn’t agree with how the government fought the war.

“I didn’t like how we did it, go in and fight, then leave,” he said. “Then they would move back in and we had to go in again and fight in the same place.

“I had no opinion on the war until then. I still believe in God, in the Corps and my country, but I didn’t think we were fighting to win. I swore I’d never fight in another war unless it was on my own soil to defend Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com this nation.”

Alan Love served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1965 to 1969, doing one tour of duty in Vietnam.

Love returned to California said. “I put God first, the Corps who didn’t pray while there.

He said while he and those after his tour in December 1967 got second, and the country got “We needed divine interven- he served with were friends and finished his time in the Mawhat was left.” tion,” he said. “I was always and acquaintances, none of rines – he had 15 months left.

This has been one of those truly challenging budget years. As an organization, the elected officials, the board and the department heads worked hard to come up with a budget that works and is fiscally responsible.

County passes budget for fiscal 2016 Board approves budget that leaves reserves alone with decreased revenue

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Board approved Tuesday the budget for fiscal 2016, which begins Dec. 1 and ends Nov. 30, 2016. The budget’s estimated expenditures are just shy of $33.2 million, and its revenues are nearly $31 million in the coming year.

The board approved the budget, 13-0, during Tuesday’s county board meeting with board members Doug Boresi, Kerri Courtright, Mike Onorato and Ken Iverson absent.

Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor said as the county moves forward, it is drawing down on capital project funds rather than dipping into reserves or cutting programs to make up for the decreased revenue, caused primarily from the loss of funds from point of sale income.

That occurred after Chan-

dressed in committee meetings and questions were answered, explaining to the public why there were no questions from board members during the nahon, Morris and other mu- meeting.

Welter said the county has nicipalities throughout the state were sued by the Regional Transit Authority for using what was at the time a legal taxing strategy that allowed companies to open small purchasing offices within areas with lower taxing rates than those of Chicago or Cook County.

The RTA had alleged there were more than a dozen such offices in Grundy County, with Channahon alone home to at least 16 such companies. That practice no longer is allowed.

The county’s general fund expenditures are expected to have a slight increase from $14.429 million in fiscal 2015 to $14.464 million in fiscal 2016.

Both years are down from the $15.7 million spent in fiscal year 2013 – a time when the county was receiving the revenue from point of sale.

County Board Chairman David Welter said during the meeting that the budget was ad-

tightened it’s belt when looking at expenditures in accordance with lost revenues and will now look at ways to bring in an increase to revenues in the upcoming years.

“This has been one of those

truly challenging budget years,” Pryor said. “As an organization, the elected officials, the board and the department heads worked hard to come up with a budget that works and is fiscally responsible.”

Morris D-101 OKs $1.7 million bond resolution School board also briefed on cutting expenses, job posting, safety plan

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The School District 101 Board voted, 5-0, on Monday to adopt a resolution declaring its intent to issue $1.7 million worth of bonds to increase the district’s working cash fund.

The district has been using this method to maintain sufficient funds to handle all operational costs in the second half of the school year, Superintendent Pat Halloran said, since the Collins Power Station closed in 2005.

Before closing, Collins accounted for about 35 percent of District 101’s tax base, according to Morris Herald-News archives.

There will be a public hearing on the matter in December.

In staffing news, the dis-

trict will be able to save about $10,000 in a shared-services pilot with the Grundy Special Education Cooperative as it begins sharing technology director J.D. Morrison. Halloran said the cooperative lost its tech person to another job.

Both sides agreed to monitor Morrison’s workload and if it goes well, a possible intergovernmental agreement could be reached for future years. An intern from the Grundy Area Vocational Center also will assist.

The board approved the district’s request to post a job opening for a bookkeeper Dec. 1 that comes with the retirement of 25-year employee Pam Jaronski. Halloran said the hope is to find a replacement

by February in order to train the employee the rest of the semester.

Chase started in Morris ends More than 100 pounds of marijuana seized with car, drugs left in Darien

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

Driver still on the loose after crossing county lines, switching vehicles

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A traffic pursuit that began Friday night in Morris ended with Illinois State Police District 2 finding the vehicle – with drugs inside – about two hours later in DuPage County.

Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said Tuesday a Grundy County deputy initiated a traffic stop about 8:55 p.m. near the Pilot Travel Center north of Interstate 80 in Morris when a motorist failed to signal.

The driver didn’t stop and went on to disobey several traffic signals as she headed south on Route 47 through Morris, he said.

While the deputy was in pursuit, it was determined the license plate was registered to a woman from Waukegan, Cal-

lahan said.

Callahan said the deputy is confident the driver was the same woman shown in the photo provided by the Secretary of State database, but Callahan said it’s difficult to confirm beyond reasonable doubt that it was the same woman, given that it was dark outside.

As the pursuit continued south toward Dwight at speeds in excess of 70 miles an hour, Dwight police were informed the pursuit would be terminated by Grundy County as deputies neared county limits, where Dwight officers then picked up the pursuit.

Callahan said it appears the driver then went north on Interstate 55.

About 10:45 p.m. Friday, the sheriff’s office received a call from ISP District 2, indicating the vehicle was found near Cass Avenue along Interstate

55 in Darien in DuPage County. A witness saw a woman exit the car and get into another car with a male driver.

State police informed the department drugs and cash were found in the vehicle, but Callahan was unable to provide further specifics.

“They asked if we wanted the vehicle. We said we wanted the individual,” Callahan said.

Callahan said to his knowledge, the driver still is free, and there is likely an ongoing investigation at ISP District 2 regarding the vehicle and its contents. He’s unsure if state police carried out an active pursuit. The department would have terminated pursuit earlier if the driver was weaving in and out of traffic, which was not the case, Callahan said. The identity of who the vehicle is registered to is not given out because it was never confirmed to be the same identity as the driver.

A call Tuesday to ISP District 2 was not immediately returned.

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Sheriff’s Office seized Tuesday more than 105 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop on Interstate 80, according to Sheriff Kevin Callahan.

Benjamin Lopes, 18, of Falmouth, Massachusetts, and Ryan Lucas, 18, also of Falmouth, were arrested about 12:15 p.m., according to a department news release.

Several deputies spend a portion of their patrol time on the two interstates that run through Grundy County

in an effort to get drugs off the streets, Callahan said.

The arrest was made after sheriff’s Deputy Zach Entwistle conducted a traffic stop after observing a violation.

After a brief investigation during the stop, Entwistle found more than 105 pounds of marijuana and more than $700 in cash, according to the news release.

An Illinois State Police K-9 unit assisted in the investigation.

Lopes and Lucas are being held on felony charges of marijuana trafficking, according to the news release.

SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Morris Hospital has received its eighth consecutive “A” rating from the Leapfrog Group, placing it in an increasingly elite group of just 133 hospitals in the nation who have achieved “straight A’s” after the Hospital Safety Score was launched in June 2012.

Six months ago, when the last Hospital Safety Score was released, there were 182 hospitals in the straight-A group.

In Illinois, there are only 18 hospitals with straight-A rankings, according to an article published in Crain’s Chicago Business. The Hospital Safety Score evaluates hospitals’ performances on 28 safety measures related to patient errors, injuries, accidents and infections, and then issues a single A, B, C, D or F score, representing a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm.

More than 2,500 U.S. general hospitals were assigned scores in the recently released Fall 2015 Hospital Safety Score, with about 30 percent receiving an A grade. In Illinois, 51 of 117 hospitals received an A on the latest report card.

“We couldn’t be prouder to be listed in Crain’s among the 18 hospitals in Illinois that have achieved a straight-A safety rating,” said Mark Steadham, president & CEO of Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers. “We are constantly implementing new processes and strategies focused on patient safety, which has to be a number one priority for every hospital. Our employees and the physicians on the medical staff really deserve the credit for assuring a safe environment for our patients.”

Since last spring, Morris Hospital has implemented a new policy and procedure to assure quality interpreter services for patients, launched

a comprehensive unit-based safety program that further engages staff in patient safety, purchased new recliner chairs for every patient room that assist in recovery, introduced a new cleaning process to reduce infections, and upgraded telemetry equipment that continuously monitors patients’ heart activity during their hospitalization.

According to The Leapfrog Group, the national nonprofit hospital safety organization that administers the Hospital Safety Score, an A grade is one of the most meaningful honors a hospital can achieve and one of the most valuable indicators for patients looking for a safe place to receive care.

Last spring, the Leapfrog Group made changes to the Hospital Safety Score so patients can review a hospital’s past safety performance alongside its current grade.

‘A lack-of-sleep epidemic is going on’

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Evan Gagnon, a senior at Morris Community High School, laughed at the idea of getting 8½ to 9½ hours of sleep a night.

“There are a lot of other things like homework and extracurriculars taking up time when I could be sleeping,” Gagnon said.

Schools start too early in the day, more health professionals say, and that is causing children to get too few hours of sleep. A night’s sleep is especially important for teenagers, according to research, whose bodies and minds particularly need that recuperation time.

“A lack-of-sleep epidemic is going on,” said Dr. Paul Aschinberg, pediatrician at Aschinberg Pediatrics in Joliet. “[Teenagers] are not getting anywhere near the amount of sleep they need.”

The average start time of schools in the U.S. is 8:03 a.m., according to a recent report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Fewer than one in five middle and high schools begin the

school day at the recommended 8:30 a.m. start time, the report stated, which is one of the major reasons only two out of three high school students get sufficient sleep.

Aschinberg said not getting the recommended amount of sleep can cause several health problems, including a less-efficient immune system, altered menstrual cycles, chronic headaches, changes in mood and demeanor, lowered energy and concentration levels, an in-

crease in anxiety and a heightened risk for depression.

Other conditions associated with teens and a lack of sleep, according to the CDC, include such health risks as being overweight, drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco and using drugs, as well as poor academic performance.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends adolescents get 8½ to 9½ hours of

is in college – to bed early, and said they function better with sufficient rest, but early bedtime is not always possible.

Stephanie Chapman of Mazon said meeting those recommended sleep hours would be difficult for her three teens.

Her older children are on the bus by 7 a.m., and sometimes don’t get home from school until 5:45 p.m., or 7 p.m. if they have a game. They usually are in bed by 10 p.m. and up at 6 a.m. Chapman said they are lucky in that they don’t have much homework at night, but they do occasionally stay up late to read. She does feel the CDC is probably right about its sleep recommendations for teens.

“However, I don’t know how many nights that’s actually possible,” Chapman said.

saying and to understand it.”

His sister, Sarah Gagnon, 15, is able to get a little more sleep, although she does admit to staying up late now and then on her computer or Nook.

“I get enough sleep to function,” Sarah said, “about six or seven hours a night because I stay up late for homework and entertainment reasons.”

Their mother, Tina Gagnon, thinks 8½ to 9½ hours of sleep is a great idea, but it’s challenging to meet when teens face three hours or more of homework a night – on top of extracurricular activities, which Tina thinks are important.

“They want to be involved in things,” Tina said, “and we want them to be well-rounded.”

Tina said she and her husband try to get their four children who are still at home – one

sleep on school nights.

“I think people underestimate the importance of sleep on their children,” Aschinberg said, “especially with adolescents.”

Sleep cycles of teenagers are shifted later, he added, and it has been found that they do far better in their classes that begin later in the day than the ones early in the morning.

“It’s much better for high schools to start later in the morning,” Aschinberg said.

“Maybe 10 a.m.”

For instance, Gagnon is active in soccer, band, Scouts and speech team, and many times doesn’t get home until later in the evening, when he grabs a bite to eat then tackles his homework. He said he often gets to sleep after midnight and is exhausted when he gets up the next morning.

However, he does maintain good academics.

“I have like five alarms set,” Gagnon said. “Sometimes, it’s hard to stay awake in class. I can’t focus sometimes. It’s hard to take in what the teachers are

The CDC report also stated the vast majority of the 42 schools it studied begin classes before the recommended 8:30 a.m. Particularly bad were Hawaii, Mississippi and Wyoming, where no schools started at 8:30 a.m. or later. More than 75 percent of schools in Alaska and North Dakota started at 8:30 a.m. or later. Louisiana had the earliest average school start time, at 7:40 a.m., and Alaska had the latest, at 8:33 a.m.

Former West German chancellor dies

By GEIR MOULSON The Associated Press BERLIN – Helmut Schmidt, the chancellor who guided West Germany through economic turbulence and Cold War tensions, stood firm against a wave of homegrown terrorism and became a respected elder statesman, died Tuesday. He was 96.

German weekly Die Zeit, of which Schmidt was a co-publisher, said he died at his house in Hamburg.

“We have lost a sharp-witted adviser, a trusted companion and a good friend,” Die Zeit said in a statement.

“Until recently, he contributed to the editorial team with his analyses, his commentaries and his interviews about current affairs.”

Schmidt’s friend and doctor, Heiner Greten, told Bild newspaper the former chancellor died with partner Ruth Loah and daughter Susanne at home with him.

“He died the way he wanted: in his bed at home and fully without pain,” Greten said.

Schmidt, a center-left Social Democrat, led West Germany from 1974 to 1982. He was elected chancellor by lawmakers in May 1974 after the res-

The new leader brought a sometimes abrasive self-confidence and his experience

as West Germany’s defense, finance and economy ministers to the job, which he took during the economic downturn that followed the 1973 oil crisis.

Schmidt’s chancellorship coincided with a tense period

in the Cold War, including the Soviet Union’s 1979 invasion of Afghanistan.

He went along the following year with the U.S.-led boycott of the Moscow Olympics, although he later said that it “brought nothing.”

NEW YORK – Former New York state Assemblyman Vito Lopez, who resigned over sexual harassment allegations after a 30-year career in the Assembly, has died.

He was 74.

Lopez died Monday at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, where he had been treated for cancer for several years, his lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, said.

Lopez resigned from the Assembly in 2013 over allegations of sexually harassing young women on his staff.

The allegations detailed in reports from a special prosecutor and the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics included Lopez forcing his hand up a woman’s leg, trying to coerce women to share hotel rooms with him.

In 1969, Love returned to

Morris after serving his four years in the Marines and finishing with the rank of sergeant. He went to work for the Department of Corrections until joining the Morris Police Department in 1971.

Love worked for the department for 30 years before retiring. He served as the Morris police chief from 1981 to 1991.

He served as lieutenant for the remainder of his time after be-

ing chief.

Love now serves on the Morris Color Guard at local veterans events and during military funerals. He also works part time for the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department, providing security at the courthouse and the administration building.

“Once a Marine, always a Marine,” Love said of his continued service.

FAMILY TABLE

By LISA ABRAHAM GateHouse News Service With less than three weeks to go before the annual holiday cooking marathon begins, it’s time to get organized.

Review all the calendars: work, school and social. Don’t forget smaller events, such as the scouting outing or the bookclub holiday fest.

Make a list of which events call for which foods. Open the pantry and cupboards; examine the refrigerator and freezer.

Take stock of what you have – and what you don’t – then form a battle plan for Thanksgiving through New Year’s. The key to not being a harried host?

“Advanced planning,” said professional organizer Shirley Collins of My Little Organizer, based in Pickerington, Ohio.

You might not be cooking Thanksgiving dinner, but maybe you take the apple pie to Grandma’s house every year.

If so, now is the time to make sure that sugar, cinnamon,

shortening and flour can be found in your cupboards.

Collins, who counts kitchen organization among her specialties, advises clients to make a thorough inspection of their pantries. Large pantries can be problematic, she said, because food gets pushed to the back and is sometimes forgotten.

Items expire, which is wasteful, or the disorganization results in overbuying.

Collins has organized pantries in which she would find, for example, seven bags of sugar.

When you know what you have and what you need, go shopping and stock up.

“The last thing somebody wants to do is to have to go to the grocery store the day before Thanksgiving,” said Jay Yardley, executive chef at the Kingsdale Giant Eagle Market District in Upper Arlington, Ohio. “It’s really about stocking your kitchen and being prepared.”

Although fresh foods such as meats, fruits and vegetables

will always need to be purchased just a few days before use, he said, almost everything else can be bought in advance.

Here’s a general checklist of items to think about:

Baking

• Account for flour, sugars (white, brown and confectioners’), spices, extracts, baking powder and soda, evaporated and condensed milk, pumpkin, chocolate morsels and nuts.

Snacks, condiments

• In the pantry, store crackers, flatbreads and jars of nuts for snacking; and herbs and spices for cooking. Jars of sauces and condiments (pesto, cocktail, salsa and mayonnaise) and dry dip and dressing mixes mean appetizer ingredients are always at hand.

• Cans and jars of pickles, olives and other relishes also have long shelf lives.

shrimp is a holiday lifesaver, Yardley said, because it lasts for weeks and thaws quickly in cold water. Plus, you thaw only as much as you need at a time.

• Frozen puff pastry dough turns simple ingredients into holiday appetizers. Collins recommends using the freezer to stock up on homemade items.

• Now is a good time bake Christmas cookies, she said.

The same goes for items such as meatballs, lasagna and other party fare that freezes well.

Fresh foods

READY FOR TIP-OFF Morris girls start gearing up for the new season / 15

GIRLS BASKETBALL

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – It is a new era for the Morris girls basketball program.

Gone due to graduation is the school’s all-time leading scorer, Julie Jurasits. Jurasits, along with Emily Burling, Jessica Ponce and Leona Burton, are no longer a part of the Redskins, who posted a 19-10 record last season.

But that doesn’t mean coach Kate Carey’s cupboard is bare.

It means things look different on the shelves.

Carey’s team benefited from knowing they would get an average of 15 points and seven rebounds a game from Jurasits last year, but sometimes that led to an over-reliance on one player. Carey does not foresee that happening this year, as the Redskins plan to spread the scoring throughout the floor.

“Things have gone pretty well so far,” Carey said at practice Tuesday as the team prepared for Monday’s season opener at the Prairie Central Tournament against Mahomet-Seymour. “We’re putting in a new system, so there’s been a lot of teaching and a lot of learning. We hope to keep learning and improving as the season goes on and be playing our best at the end of the year.

“We had a real nice summer, and we did a lot more off-season work than we have done in the past. We are pretty optimistic about the season. I don’t know if we will blow a lot of people out, but I don’t think we will get blown out, either. I expect almost all of our games to be battles.”

One thing the Redskins are blessed with this season is height. Both Kayla Cryder and Meghan Smith are listed at 6-foot, with Meghan Jurak at 5-11 and Devin Pacheco and Destiny Cano both at 5-10.

Rylee Harr checks in at 5-9, as do Jessica Jurak and Camryn Lewis.

“We have a couple of six-footers and quite a few more that are almost there,” Carey said. “Plus, all of our

Morris’ Meghan Smith (right) calls for a pass as teammate Meghan Jurak defends at practice Tuesday. a year of varsity experience.

“Mya sees the floor very well,” Carey said. “The strength of her game is getting to the basket, but she can also dish off to the open player. Rylie Harr and Kayla Cryder have been seeing the floor Kate Carey well so far, too, so we hope to Morris girls basketball coach be able to spot someone open.

to take a little more ownership of the floor.

“Mya will have that full year of experience, but not everyone is looking for her to be the one to do everything. This team seems to be able to work together, and that’s what we’re looking to get to. One thing about this group is that they seem to bond well, even off the court. Everyone seems to know their role pretty well, so we are looking forward to see how it all looks when we hit the court Monday.”

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY CLASS 3A STATE MEET

Minooka girls find reward at end of long road

By JEFF DEGRAW Shaw Media Correspondent

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Minooka’s Mackenzie Callahan, shown here during the Class 3A Minooka Regional, finished 20th at the Class 3A state meet to earn all-state honors and help the Indians to the team title. time off really helped me,” she said. “My goal going into the meet was top 25. I always knew where I was during the race because of all the people telling the runners around me what place they were in.

I was so overwhelmed when we found out we won. I looked around and it was just tears of joy.”

Before any race, but especially at the state meet, coaches always try to figure out what the overall race looks like on paper.

“We looked at what it would take to win a trophy [top three],” Gummerson said. “We thought 155 points would get third. Girls cross country has come a long way, especially in the past 10 years. That was proven with how fast and competitive this year’s race was.

“Coming out of the back

woods, I had a pretty good feeling of where we were. Vivian [Van Eck] was in 99th place at the mile. She picked up 21 places in the next half-mile and that was huge. She has been a hard-charging runner all season.”

Van Eck, just a freshman, placed 66th overall and was the Indians’ fifth runner on the day.

“I felt like I was behind, so I knew I had to pass people,” she said. “I’m so happy and excited.

“I never thought as a freshman that I would be on the varsity. This whole season has been a surprise for me and I’m already looking forward to next year. Coach always tells us to have enthusiasm and run that way.”

The leader up front for Minooka has been junior Ashley

talented runners and we really worked hard. It was such a great moment, a dream come true.

“The first mile was my fastest ever in a cross country race.

The first mile you run with your legs, the second with the mind and the third with your heart. This legitimized who we are. So many people said, ‘Oh, you’re just Minooka.’ ” Sophomore Emily Ellis and freshman Katelyn Gall rounded out the Indians’ top seven.

Ellis ran in her second consecutive state meet.

“Being a sophomore, I knew what to expect this entire season, especially at the state meet,” Ellis said. “This is so great.”

“The state meet was a great experience,” Gall said.

“During the race I was just doing everything I could to help the team.”

Gummerson comes from a storied family background with both grandfather Roy and father Ron inducted into the Illinois Track and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Roy was honored in the initial class back in 1977 while Ron was honored in 2002.

“I learned from both my grandfather and father,” Gummerson said. “My grandfather loved this sport, my dad had a tremendous impact on people and I have been told they would both be proud of me and that really means a lot to me.

These girls made this happen.”

The long road taken, the process complete and the results flipped.

“We are going to enjoy this – the state series is such a stressful situation,” Gummerson said. “This has been a blast.”

Tutt. The winner of the Southwest Prairie, regional and sectionals titles, she earned her second all-state honor with a fourth-place finish Saturday.

“My season went really well,” Tutt said. “We all had a good start to the season and we kept it going. I’m so happy for everyone. We really have worked hard for this.”

The lone senior among the top seven was Morgan Crouch.

The Louisville recruit placed 60th in Peoria and has been an inspiration all season.

“The girls talked about how they wanted to win a trophy for Morgan,” Gummerson said. “We are going to miss her.”

“I saw the awards when I was a freshman at the state meet and all I wanted was to win a team trophy,” Crouch said. “Then we got all these

MINOOKA – It took 37 years, but the area has a team state champion in girls cross country.

Minooka completed the process Saturday in what many are saying was one of the fastest Class 3A girls race in history.

Not only was the individual state record time time set –15:53 by Naperville North’s Judy Pendergast – but a record 78 runners broke 18 minutes.

Indians coach Kevin Gummerson reflected on the long road to the top.

“In 2002, it was the first time we qualified and we finished 30th out of 30 teams,” he said. “We finally flipped those results – from last to first. It has been a long road and everyone who has competed for the team over the years is a big part of this.”

With five returning runners from the 2014 sixth-place state team, expectations were high entering this season.

“We had huge expectations,” Gummerson said.

“When we won the Hornet Red Devil Invite at Hinsdale in early September, that was a huge moment during the season. We beat some pretty good teams and this really got these girls believing that could have something pretty special this season.

“We were confident all season long. Late in the season we did look tired so we rested some people, backed off a few days and everyone bounced back. You have to keep your eye on the big picture. November 7 was the goal from Day 1.”

Junior Mackenzie Callahan, who finished 20th to earn her second all-state honor, was one of the runners who got a week off before the Southwest Prairie Conference meet.

“I felt so good after taking the time off,” she said. “After that, I knew we could do something pretty special.”

Emily Shelton, a sophomore who placed 19th to garner all-state honors, took the regional meet off to recover.

“I wasn’t really feeling good, I had no energy and that

BEARS FOURTH-AND-GOAL: WEEK NINE

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com

Jay Cutler: How many times in past seasons have we seen Cutler wilt after giving the ball away? On Monday, he overcame two first-half turnovers, not injuries to his supporting cast, to dazzle while leading three touchdown drives of at least 80 yards – including two in the fourth quarter. He was especially brilliant on third down, completing 5 of 6 chances after intermission and making a number of special throws stationary and on the move.

Hat tip here to the tight ends. Zach Miller’s ridiculous touchdown will garner praise, but his run blocking was excellent. Martellus Bennett not only caught the first touchdown, but he also showed more juice post-catch after openly lamenting his role. Too, we could put Alshon Jeffery in

here weekly, but he began the game poorly before catching fire.

Jeremy Langford: What didn’t Langford show in his first crack at being the guy? Power inside, speed to the perimeter, sensational ball skills as a receiver, a nose for the end zone – they were all on clear display. And the part I left out was the one that impressed me the most: The rookie was extremely sound in pass protection, stoning several third-down blitzers.

Lamarr Houston: Say what you will about San Diego’s O-line, but that was its one consistent member, RT Joe Barksdale, Houston wasted on the Bolts’ failed final drive. His two sacks more than offset his two offsides; Houston was the Bears’ most impactful rusher, showing power we’ve grown accustomed to only seeing from Pernell McPhee. After

just four snaps two games ago, can Houston use this performance as a springboard? In his third start, Willie Young also played his best game, showing power and relentlessness while helping the Bears finally take advantage of a woeful opposing O-line.

Second-half ‘D’: Might this represent a turning point for Vic Fangio’s group? After two games in which it seemed to run out of gas late in the fourth quarter, the Bears showed they could finish. From Tracy Porter’s final PBU to the increasingly effective OLB pressure to Christian Jones and Jonathan Anderson tightening underneath space, this was a strong, collective outing.

FOUR DOWN TERRITORY

Robbie Gould: Gould was swishing everything the first five games, but he’s hit a lull, following up a miss in Minne-

sota with an 0-for-2 – just the second of his career – in San Diego. With the Bears’ past six games having been decided by a combined 12 points, the need for their typically reliable kicker to steady is paramount.

Jarvis Jenkins: The only time he’s come close to the quarterback in recent weeks, he missed a shot at Teddy Bridgewater and committed a horrible roughing penalty on Philip Rivers that gifted San Diego three points.

Jermon Bushrod/Alan Ball:

Active for the first time since Week Three, Bushrod’s spectating role confirmed what we’ve all been predicting: The offense’s second-highest-paid player is now a backup. Ball, who lost his starting job similarly – initially because of injury, then a backup seizing his opportunity – fared decently in a larger role against a clearly hobbled Antonio Gates, but he

whiffed badly on a open-field tackle of Danny Woodhead that helped the Chargers to points.

Kyle Long: We’re nitpicking here. Long was effective as a blocker, but he had two penalties, including one for unsportsmanlike conduct when coming to Cutler’s defense following a late hit that might have knocked the Bears out of field goal range. Love his intensity, but would love it more without it becoming a detriment.

GOAL TO GO

This is the first time the Bears have short rest to prepare for an opponent, and not just any opponent – one of the NFL’s toughest and talented, coming off a crushing loss. Can Chicago quickly recuperate after an emotional victory to beat the Rams and notch their first road winning streak?

OLB Willie Young gets uptick in playing time

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com Here’s a look at how the Bears divvied out playing time in Monday night’s 22-19 win over the Chargers.

OFFENSE

Another busy day for the Bears’ offense with 72 plays, all part of Adam Gase’s game plan to control the football and pace of the game. Alshon Jeffery led the skill players with 63 snaps, making the most of them with his 10 catches for 151 yards.

Martellus Bennett, who also had a strong performance with eight catches and a touchdown, play 62 snaps, and Marquess Wilson – quiet with one catch – was on the field for 61 plays.

Marc Mariani played the slot for Eddie Royal and was on the field for 56 plays. Josh Bellamy had a catch in his nine snaps and Cameron Meredith got one rep with the offense.

At running back, Ka’Deem Carey surprisingly got the start, and his first rush since

Week 15 of last season. He played 16 snaps, his first offensive snaps this season. The story on offense, aside from Jay Cutler and Jeffery, was rookie Jeremy Langford, who carried the load on his 54-snap night, going for 143 total yards of offense and a touchdown. Antone Smith played three snaps, which included an 11-yard run.

DEFENSE

John Fox made it a point to mention that Willie Young’s snaps fluctuate based on the opponent. After only seven snaps last week, he played 47 against the pass-happy Chargers compared to Sam Acho’s 18, possibly a nod to Young’s quickness. He was active, six days after trade speculation, picking up four tackles and a pass defensed.

Lamarr Houston also had an increased role, but while he made the two plays of the game with his sacks on the final drive, he still played only 16 snaps. Pernell McPhee led the outside linebackers with 59

snaps and had four QB hits. as a Bear, played 18 snaps.

The Bears made a change at linebacker, handing play-call- SPECIAL TEAMS ing duties to Jonathan AnderThe core special teamers on son, who played 69 of the 70 snaps and led the team with 12 tackles.

Christian Jones, who hadn’t left the field since Shea McClellin’s injury, played 52 snaps.

LaRoy Reynolds didn’t rotate in much, playing only four snaps, as the Bears elected to go with three D-linemen and one inside linebacker in their nickel package.

Adrian Amos, Kyle Fuller, Tracy Porter and Antrel Rolle played every snap, while nickel corner Bryce Callahan played 66, just two days after clearing the league’s concussion protocol. Extra DB Alan Ball joined the defense in the dime package, usually lined up on Antonio Gates, for 15 snaps.

Along the D-line, Jarvis Jenkins played 43 of the 70 snaps, Eddie Goldman played 33, Will Sutton 28 and Mitch Unrein 22.

Bruce Gaston, a Chicago product (St. Rita) in his first game

Monday night were Sherrick McManis, Chris Prosinski and Sam Acho, followed by Lamin Barrow and Josh Bellamy.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Is it time to wait or to hunt actively?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Sylvia Plath, a poet, novelist and short-story writer who died in 1963, said, “I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad.”

Bridge defenders have to decide whether to be active – positively trying to win tricks – or passive – sitting back and waiting for declarer to lose tricks.

If they adopt the correct approach on any given deal, they will be happy.

In this deal, East has the decision to make. South is in four spades. West leads the heart three, and East wins with his king. How should he plan the defense?

Some Wests would have jumped to four hearts, arguing that with 10 trumps, get to the 10-trick level. But with no singleton, this seems too much to me. Note, though, that his threeheart raise was pre-emptive. With a good hand, he would have cue-bid two spades.

If East judges it is right to defend passively, he should continue with the heart ace. Here, though, South would ruff in the dummy, draw two rounds of trumps ending in his hand, and take the club finesse. It would lose, but he could claim four spades, one diamond, four clubs and one heart ruff.

East should realize that dummy’s club suit is threatening to provide declarer with a host of tricks. East must shift immediately to a low diamond.

Here, West will put in his nine to force out dummy’s queen. South takes his top trumps and tries the club finesse.

East wins and plays another diamond.

Declarer wins in the dummy and starts to run the clubs, but West ruffs in and leads a diamond to East’s jack. The defenders happily get one trick in each suit.

Recent advance in stem cell research holds great promise Dear Readers: In yesterday’s column, I said, theoretically, embryonic stem cells could be used to replace cells that are killed by disease – heart cells killed in a heart attack, for example, or brain cells killed by Alzheimer’s disease. If you needed stem cells, what you ideally would want were your own embryonic stem cells.

The dilemma: Your own stem cells existed only briefly, long ago, and you couldn’t turn back the clock. That is, until a research breakthrough in 2007 showed you could.

As we discussed yesterday, embryonic stem cells and all the specialized cells have exactly the same genes within them. However, cells

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff in the eye and stomach, for example, are so very different because different genes are turned on in each type of cell.

A Japanese research team decided to see if a unique group of genes was turned on in embryonic stem cells.

There were.

Then they asked an audacious question: What would happen if you placed into a fully specialized cell – like a cell in the skin – the activated genes seen in embryonic stem cells? The answer was so remarkable it was honored with the Nobel Prize. The skin cell

turned into a cell (called an iPS cell) very much like that person’s long-lost embryonic stem cells. You could turn back the clock.

Since this discovery, scientists have been experimenting with using iPS cells to cure disease in animals.

For example, iPS cells created from skin cells in mice have been transformed into specialized healthy blood and nerve cells – curing the mice of the equivalent of sickle cell anemia and Parkinson’s disease.

Other researchers have created iPS cells to study what goes wrong in certain diseases, and what treatments would be effective.

Take Parkinson’s disease, for example. The cells that die

in a person with Parkinson’s disease lie deep in the brain.

You can’t just reach in and study them.

But you can take a skin cell from a patient with Parkinson’s disease and turn it into an iPS cell. You can transform that iPS cell into the type of brain cell that dies in Parkinson’s disease. Then you can see what medicines keep that cell from dying.

This is being done today, for many diseases.

Of course, I’ve made this remarkable new technique sound simpler and freer of potential complications than it really is.

Certain ways of creating iPS cells possibly could turn the cells cancerous. But new discoveries are reducing or

eliminating that risk. Also, the technique still is quite inefficient and cumbersome, but new discoveries are making it simpler. Still, it will be some time before this new type of stem cell therapy affects medical practice in a major way.

Perhaps this remarkable breakthrough will achieve its full potential in helping us to understand and cure diseases. If so, it will show again how society benefits when we support the work of curious and talented scientists who seek to understand the basic processes of life.
