To our valued readers and advertisers: As usual, the staff at the Morris Daily Herald was excited about producing our annual “Honoring Our Military Heroes” special section. We love being able to pay tribute to local veterans by including their pictures and information about when they served and in what military branch.

And we were excited we would be able to put it into the Nov. 11 edition of the newspaper.

Last year, Veterans Day was on a Monday, and since we don’t have a Monday edition, we published it in the Tuesday, Nov. 12, edition.

Veterans Day fell on a Tuesday this year. Unfortunately, we forgot there wasn’t mail delivery on Veterans Day. This is an embarrassing oversight by the management of the Morris Daily Herald. We take responsibility for it, and apologize to our readers and advertisers.

You should still get your Tuesday edition: The post office assured us it should be delivered today, Nov. 12, along with your the Wednesday edition of the paper.

If you are a subscriber, and didn’t receive a copy of Tuesday’s paper, please stop by our office at 1804 N. Division St. in Morris and we will give you one.

Thank you for reading the Morris Daily Herald.

State officials give remarks at event at Coal City library

Coral Weikert and sisters Abigail and Melanie Cunningham, all of Morris, hand out patriotic pins they made to area veterans, including Elmo Ray Younger, at the Veterans Day event on Tuesday at Morris Community High School.

‘We need to honor them’

MORRIS – State Rep. Kate Cloonen, D-Kankakee, came close to tears Tuesday as she talked about how her husband, a Vietnam War veteran, and others were treated after they returned to America from the war.

She spoke at a Veterans Day event at the Coal City Public Library District, which included a flag-raising ceremony, comments from state officials, commanders of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, and a reception.

“Many people were opposed to the war. So they spat

on the soldiers and didn’t welcome them home,” Cloonen said. “It’s the responsibility of Americans to welcome home our soldiers.”

The library’s Veterans Day event served as a reminder to all Americans to honor veterans of all wars. It was held on the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I on Nov. 11, 1918.

“This day brings back memories of the people I served with. I’m just proud to be an American,” said Cloonen’s husband, Gary. “We’ve been to a lot of foreign countries. No matter where you go, nothing is better than coming home.”

Morris American Legion hosts ceremony to honor veterans

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Girl Scouts made their way through the Morris Community High School auditorium Tuesday morning, handing gifts to veterans.

“We made pins for them ourselves,” said Coral Wiekert of Morris. “We also have thank you cards to thank them for serving our country.”

Wiekert, along with the others in Girl Scout Cadette Troop 70175, threaded red, white and blue beads onto safety pins before putting them on a bigger pin, creating an American flag. They gave the pins to veterans during the annual Veterans Day ceremony, hosted by the Morris American Legion.

“Our veterans served our country and we need to honor them,” troop member Rebekah Baxa of Morris said.

Elmo Ray Younger, of Disabled American Veterans Chapter 86, said he thinks it’s fantastic young people in the community are involved, including members of the local school band who performed at the ceremony.

“I think today is a reaffirmation that most of the American people appreciate what veterans have done,” Younger said after the ceremony.

County Board OKs tax abatement for wind energy project

By NICK SAMUEL nsamuel@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Plans to construct a converter station and an overhead electric transmission line in Grundy County moved a step further Monday with the Grundy County Board’s approval of an abatement of property taxes between Rock Island Clean Line and the county.

The abatement states Rock Island Clean Line LLC will pay Grundy County an estimated $104,000 each year for the project up until 2032.

“I’m pleased the board decided to move forward with the converter station,” said Amy Kurt, manager of Clean Line Energy Partners, after Mon-

day’s meeting.

Other major taxing bodies have agreed to a tax abatement for the Clean Line project, including Saratoga Grade School District 60C, Morris Community High School District 101 and the village of Channahon.

“The converter station will be located in the village of Channahon near those two school districts in Grundy County,” Kurt said.

Rock Island Clean Line will pay an estimated $100,000 each year to Channahon up until 2032 and make a one-time estimated payment of $1,755,000 to Morris Community High School and a one-time estimated payment of $2,745,000 to Saratoga Grade School.

On Thursday, the project moves to the Illinois Commerce Commission in Springfield for approval.

“All concerns are being decided by the ICC, including the route of the line and the need of the line; those are the two big things,” Kurt said.

The Rock Island Clean Line project, which is being organized by Clean Line Energy Partners, aims to deliver wind power from northwest Iowa and the surrounding region to communities in Illinois and other states.

The project includes the construction of a 500-mile direct current transmission line, starting in northwest Iowa and ending right outside of Morris, that

will deliver 3,500 megawatts of renewable power to communities with a high demand for clean and reliable energy.

It also includes the construction of two converter stations, one in Grundy County and the other in Iowa.

Several aspects of the $2 billion project have been scrutinized by members of the Illinois Commerce Commission, the Illinois Farm Bureau, Commonwealth Edison, numerous landowners and some politicians – including state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris. The primary concern is the farmland the project will cut through in Iowas and Illinois.

The overall cost for the project is about $2 billion, with

district needed to borrow again to meet operating expenses.

Crouse said a fair number of districts issue working cash bonds.

A public hearing will be held before the end of the year, and the board will vote on the matter in January when the bonds will be sold. The money would then be issued to the school in February.

MORRIS – The Morris Community High School board again plans to sell working cash bonds of $1.4 million to fund its operations.

The Morris High School board voted, 5-0, with board members Eric Monson and Thomas Anderson absent, to approve a resolution with the intent to sell working cash fund bonds for 2015.

The school district issues working cash bonds as its funding mechanism for district operations. It annually issues about $1.5 million in working cash bonds, except in 2012 when it issued $3.5 million to cover both 2012 and 2013 to save about $29,000 a year in fees associated with the working cash bonds.

Howie Crouse, PMA financial adviser for the school district, gave a presentation to the board during its Monday night meeting, which showed current debt, working cash limit and the proposal for the 2015 series bonds.

“The district could get as much as $2.2 million,” Crouse said. “But with the district’s desire to keep the tax rate down, we’d advise $1.4 million in working cash bonds.”

Superintendent Pat Halloran said the district has been issuing working cash bonds since 1978, but in 1999, when Midwest Generation came online, it generated enough tax dollars that the district did not need to issue the bonds anymore.

When Midwest Generation closed and the district lost 35 percent of its equalized assessed value for property taxes in 2004, the

both converter stations costing about $300 million each and the transmission line costing about $1.4 billion.

But, not all board members were pleased with the project.

Eric Rasmusson, John Galloway and Doug Boresi voted no to the abatement for the project Monday night. John Almer abstained from voting.

“It’s not a proven entity, it’s not clean and it really competes with our local employment,” Galloway said after the meeting, referring to the local nuclear stations located in and around Grundy County.

Even if the ICC approves the project Thursday, it also would need to be approved by the Iowa Utility Board, as well.

GARDNER – The Illinois Supreme Court has refused to hear a former Gardner Fire Department’s appeal in a case against the Gardner Fire Protection District.

“It’s great news, after four years,” said Gary Morris, president of the Gardner Fire Protection District. “It’s finally over with. There’s nothing else they can do, is the way I understand it.”

In May, the former fire department appealed a decision by the Appellate Court of Illinois Third District to the Illinois Supreme Court. The court denied the petition in September. Both parties became aware of that decision recently.

Morris said the fire district has spent a lot of money fighting the former department repeatedly. He was not sure of the total amount spent on legal fees.

“It was a lot of money. It could’ve been stopped a long time ago, but they didn’t want to give up,” he said.

Former fire Chief Randy Wilkey, who spearheaded the appeals, referred requests for comment to the former department’s attorney, Timothy Rathbun with Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol. Rathbun did not immediately return calls Tuesday.

Fire district attorney Richard Porter, of Hinshaw & Culbertson, also did not immediately return calls.

The litigation began years ago, when the fire protection district terminated its contract for services with Gardner’s volunteer department.

Under that arrangement, the department, run by Wilkey, provided fire protection services to Gardner using tax dollars the district provided.

The district accused the department of using its money to cover legal fees incurred in arguing over an election for district trustees. In addition, the department had a $47,000 credit card balance it refused to account for.

Why go anywhere else?

case. The court declined.

The battle between the two sides started when Wilkey refused to provide the district board with original receipts to pay the department’s bills, according to previous statements by district representatives and Wilkey.

The feud ended up in court, and the district no longer recognized Wilkey as chief.

In October 2013, when a previous ruling favored the district, the fire district and its new chief, Terry Jensen, took over the Gardner fire station. It had previously taken possession of equipment through a court order.

Jensen and the fire protection district have continued to serve the Gardner area.

ar

cchapman@shawmedia.com

The department argued that it could not misappropriate its own funds and it filed suit, saying the district terminated its contract “arbitrarily and capriciously,” and that it did not have the discretion to do so.

More than a year ago, Grundy County Judge Robert Marsaglia ruled the fire district had the right to terminate the contract with the volunteer department when the department stopped providing satisfactory services.

The department appealed Marsaglia’s decision, and in February, the Appellate Court ruled the original court properly granted the fire district’s motions. The department then asked the Supreme Court to look at the

You can change the filling as you like. This rollup features wilted baby kale, cheese and giardiniera. one rollup; because the egg is cooked in two 1-minute phases, you can be filling one while the next one starts cooking.

Be careful not to get too much of the giardiniera’s liquid onto the egg or it won’t set.

Also, I use a slightly cupped Corelle saucer (easy to find at thrift stores), but any microwave-safe saucer no larger than 8 inches in diameter will do the trick.

Finally, key to easy cleanup: Use nonstick spray or a little oil on the saucer; it makes the egg easier to remove – and the plate faster to clean.

So Dad was over for a visit and wanted scrambled eggs for breakfast. When I expressed some reluctance about pulling out a frying pan (OK, it was a whole lot of reluctance), he remained undeterred.

“You don’t have to fry it,” he told me. “Use the microwave. Get me a saucer.”

It took a crafty 92-year-old cook to show me how to exploit the microwave, which in my kitchen is better known as the popcorn maker and frozen-leftovers defroster. Within minutes, we were both enjoying a delectable scrambled egg.

Cleanup was just as simple.

When I realized the cooked egg was nearly the same size and shape as an 8-inch flour tortilla, this rollup was a natural progression. And frankly, if you’re going to start with a no-brainer microwaved egg, you might as well keep the resulting recipe just as easy, or what’s the point? The fillings suggested here can be swapped out with any number of ingredients.

Caveats: The recipe is for

baby kale or baby spinach 2 tablespoons shredded Italian blend cheese 1 tablespoon mild giardiniera or to taste, drained 1 (8-inch) flour tortilla, warmed Combine egg, water, seasoning, salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl; lightly beat with a fork.

Pour into a 7- to 8-inch microwave-proof saucer that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Carefully place in microwave; cook on high, 1 minute.

Remove saucer; egg won’t be fully set in the middle and that’s OK. Distribute the kale, cheese and giardiniera (in that order). Return to microwave; cook 1 minute more.

Remove egg patty from saucer with a spatula; place on a flour tortilla. Roll up; serve.

• HONOR Continued from page 3 The annual Morris Veterans Day parade was canceled because of weather, and the ceremony was moved to the high school auditorium.

“The men and women of Grundy County have served their country in these conflicts and during the years of peace between them,” Ken Buck, commander of Morris American Legion Post 294, said in his opening statements.

Buck read off a list of wars, conflicts and operations America has been involved in since 1775.

“We gather here today to honor and remember our comrades, our fathers, our mothers, brothers and sisters that have served in our nation’s armed forces,” he added.

He said most Americans profess a love for veterans, especially at Veterans Day gatherings. While they are sincere, they must remember veterans defend the country 365 days a year.

Before the ceremony, veteran and Gold Star Dad Jerry Terando said it’s great to see so many community members at events honoring veterans.

“They’ve defended America through the best and worst and know what it’s like to stay guard in the night while others sleep. They’ve

OPINION Easy for politicians to spend others’ money CHICAGO – It takes a special kind of cheap to leave a waitress a mere 50 cents for a tip – even if the bill is $2.

A half a buck won’t buy you much these days.

But that’s how much Gov. Pat Quinn left a waitress after breakfast in Champaign during the waning months of the 2014 gubernatorial campaign, the News-Gazette reported in September.

I was thinking about that last week as I sat in the front row at the James R. Thompson Center and watched Quinn concede defeat.

He never mentioned his opponent, Bruce Rauner, by name. No words of congratulations passed his lips.

A sullen and bleary-eyed politician just announced he didn’t have enough votes to win.

And then the sanctimony began.

Quinn announced he would push for raising Illinois’ minimum wage before he leaves office in January.

“Our minimum wage is $8.25. It is not enough for a mom, a dad or anyone to raise a family on,” he said.

Well, yes, Pat, I agree.

It would be difficult to support a family on a minimum wage.

Just ask Joy O’Brien.

You know her, Pat. She’s that waitress who spent years serving you and your political cronies at Chef Petros in downtown Chicago.

The upscale restaurant is situated near the Thompson Center, Chicago City Hall and various judicial buildings.

It serves that unholy trinity of lawyers, reporters and politicians.

Joy is a feisty broad who once handed a $2 tip back to Patti Blagojevich and told her to keep it. She didn’t like how the former Illinois first lady

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder treated her, and she certainly didn’t like how she chose to compensate her for her labor.

O’Brien is a single mother who raised six children on her own and at one point ended up living in her car.

Joy has had a rough life and by her own admission has made some bad choices.

But she has always worked – and worked hard.

For 38 years she waited tables, mostly in downtown Chicago.

Quinn earns $177,412 as governor of Illinois.

And now Quinn wants to raise the Illinois minimum wage to $10 an hour.

It’s always easy to be generous with someone else’s money.

I called Quinn’s spokesman seeking comment about the governor’s alleged parsimonious ways. He didn’t call me back.

Oh, well.

To be sure, raising the minimum wage will help some people. But it will hurt others.

The minimum wage hike also would deprive some lowskill workers of their first job opportunities. And it would mean stores, restaurants and other businesses would have to charge customers more to make up for the added cost of paying workers.

And nobody likes paying more.

Just ask Pat Quinn.

OLD SCHOOL Morris, Coal City football prove defense, run game mean playoff success / 15

Morris’ Joey Webb (right) makes an interception with help from his brother, Jacob Webb, in a game against Minooka this season. Morris is 7-4 and playing in the Class 5A quarterfinals Saturday, thanks in part to tough defense and running the ball.

And, when those offenses did get on the field, the Morris defensive line – spearheaded by T.J. Layne and Zach Hansen – has been able to pressure their quarterbacks enough that they have had little time to scan the field for receivers.

Likewise, Coal City routinely puts up more than 300 yards on the ground, with Jack Dibble usually either coming close to or reaching that number himself. Putting a talented back such as Dibble behind a

huge offensive line like Coal City’s – anchored by 6-foot-5, 305-pound center Matt Long – is borderline unfair at the Class 4A level, and I am sure you would get no argument from either Mendota or St. Edward about that. Dibble ran for 564 yards and nine touchdowns in the first two rounds of the playoffs alone.

And, like it has been for years, defense is still the Coalers’ calling card.

• Speaking of conferences, the Northern Illinois Big 12, of which Morris is a member, is 9-3 in the playoffs and has Morris, Geneseo and Sycamore in the quarterfinals. The Interstate

Eight is 7-2 in playoff games and also has three quarterfinalists in Coal City, Manteno and Wilmington.

Of course, each conference is going to lose a team Saturday, as Geneseo visits Sycamore

and Coal City hosts Manteno.

It seems like there always its talk about high schools changing conferences, whether it’s for travel or competitive purposes.

Sometimes the schools themselves are the ones wanting a change, and sometimes the conferences come around looking for new members.

No matter what happens in the near future, don’t expect the Corn Belt Conference to come knocking on Morris’ door.

You see, the Morris football team, which was 2-4 five weeks ago and in real danger of missing the playoffs entirely, got hot and won its last three regular-season games to qualify for the Class 5A playoffs. In the first two weeks of the playoffs, it has run over and through the top two teams in the Corn Belt – Normal U-High and Mahomet-Seymour – to reach the quarterfinals.

Although a lot of teams around the state have the spread as their main offensive formation and flinging the ball around the field as their main philosophy, Morris seems to have found an identity as an “old school” football team.

In other words, the Redskins have been winning by running the ball and playing solid defense.

There’s a reason why coaches seem to preach those things, especially when the playoffs come around.

They work.

Running the ball keeps the clock moving and gives the other team’s offense less time on the field. Playing solid defense limits the opponent’s ability to score once they do get on the field. And, no matter how many brilliant football minds are out there patrolling the sidelines, not one of them has been able to devise a way to win a game without scoring.

To that end, Morris has dusted off its full-house backfield and cranked out more than 300 yards on the ground in their two playoff

Ground game, defense keys for Morris, Coal City

Bears in need of coaching change with Trestman Meeting the media Monday after his Bears suffered their second successive dismantling by a real NFL team, this time on national TV in the Sunday night spotlight, coach Marc Trestman didn’t seem concerned.

“As I’ve said before this, I think this team and this locker room is in a good place at this time,” Trestman said.

“And we’re in a position where we have to work our way out of this. And I think the team is focused on doing this.”

What Trestman did not explain is what he is seeing that apparently no one else can.

When asked what has to change to achieve better results, Trestman offered little.

“That’s really what we’re going to have to go back and see,” he said. “We’ve got to really take and put the San Francisco game on, the Jets game on and see why we were able to play four quarters against Atlanta in competitive football games. And we haven’t done it the last few weeks.”

There was a great deal more said Monday, but that’s pretty much all you need to hear to understand why it’s time for the Bears to make significant changes in their coaching staff.

This much is not open to debate. The Bears have lost five of their past six games, including the past three in a row. And they have been embarrassed in each of those past three losses, a little bit more and a little bit worse as each has piled up.

After each of those embarrassments, Trestman has assured us his team is focused, confident and in a good place to work their way out of their troubles.

No coach, they’re not.

Trestman has made reference on several occasions to going back to the Bears’ three wins and figuring out what he apparently wants to believe they did so well in those games.

For the first 42 minutes of the 60 minutes they played in San Francisco, the Bears were awful and they absolutely had no business being in that

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush game.

Brandon Marshall was courageous and heroic against the Niners and a few other guys made plays in the fourth quarter, but the only reason the Bears were even close is the 49ers turned the ball over four times and committed 16 penalties, and Jay Cutler played an extremely rare turnover-free game.

There are no answers on that tape.

The Jets game? The Jets are one of the worst teams in the NFL, and they outgained the Bears 414-257, won the time-of-possession battle and the Bears actually allowed Geno Smith to throw for 316 yards.

If the officials had not blown the call on a Cutler

fumble, which the Jets took the other way for six points that were taken off the board, the Bears lose that game.

Yes, the Bears played pretty well against Atlanta, another one of the worst teams in the league.

At the end of the day, all you’re going to find on tape of the 2014 Bears is they’re embarrassingly bad.

Two weeks ago, with an entire week off to put in overtime, Trestman told us the same things he told us Monday would make a difference.

He was partially correct.

They embarrassed themselves even more in Green Bay than they did in New England.

Trestman is a nice man and a good guy, and there is nothing more unpleasant to me than saying he needs to be fired. I hate it.

But my job is to analyze his football team and tell you all

the truth.

Trestman appears to have no answers and the Bears need someone who does.

There still is value in this season if the Bears can find a way to evaluate which players, if any, can make a positive contribution to the

rebuilding this club will need in the next year or two.

The time to begin that change is now.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

There are exceptions to the normal play

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Douglas Adams, an Englishman who wrote the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” trilogy in four books, said, “Nothing travels faster than light, with the possible exception of bad news, which follows its own rules.”

Bridge has a variety of rules, most of which having exceptions.

For example, suppose you are faced with A-J-9-5-4 in the dummy opposite Q-10-8-7 in your hand. How would you normally play the suit?

Right – you would take the finesse.

In theory, 50 percent of the time you will get five tricks. To try to drop a singleton king offside has only about a six percent chance of success. But why might you lead the queen from your hand and, after lefty plays low, put up dummy’s ace?

Now look at the North-South hands in today’s deal. South is in three no-trump. West leads a fourth-highest heart five: three, queen, king. How should declarer continue?

South starts with seven top tricks: three spades, one heart (first trick), one diamond and two clubs. It looks obvious to take the diamond finesse at trick two, but that does not work well here.

East wins with his king and returns the heart 10 (high from a remaining doubleton). The defenders take four heart tricks for down one.

Declarer should realize that if West has the diamond king, the contract is always safe. South’s remaining heart jack-six is a stopper with West on lead.

So declarer should lead his diamond queen to tempt West to cover with the king if he has it, then rise with dummy’s ace. When the king drops, South takes 11 tricks. It is a textbook avoidance play.

Artificial sweeteners may not lower calories as originally thought Dear Doctor K: For 20 years, I’ve substituted artificial sweeteners for sugar in my coffee, and switched to diet soft drinks to avoid obesity and the diseases that overweight people are prone to, like Type 2 diabetes.

Now I hear that new research says that’s a bad idea. What is going on?

Dear Reader: Here’s what’s not confusing: More than a modest amount of sugar each day is not good for you. Nothing’s changed there. The sweet tooth that many of us have (I plead guilty) leads us to eat too much sugar.

Sugar contains easily absorbed calories. That makes it harder to maintain or achieve a healthy weight. It also increases our risk of developing Type 2

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff diabetes, the most common form of diabetes. Sugar-sweetened soft drinks and fruit juices are particularly bad actors.

The development of no-calorie artificial sweeteners, like saccharine, sucralose and aspartame, seemed like a godsend. Like you, I switched from regular drinks to “diet” drinks a long time ago. Artificial sweeteners taste as sweet as (or sweeter than) sugar, but contain virtually no calories.

What’s not to like?

In previous columns, I’ve said that there was some evi-

dence that consuming artificial sweeteners might increase our appetite for sugar-containing sweets. That is definitely not a good thing, if true. I still regard it as unproven.

But recently, a scientific study was published in a prestigious scientific journal, Nature, that set me back on my heels.

If other scientists confirm this work, it has important implications for all of us. To tell you what the study showed, I first need to explain a little biology.

Many foods contain carbohydrates (“carbs”). Carbohydrates resemble a chain with multiple links. When they enter our gut, the links in the chain are separated by digestion. Table sugar is a simple chain: just two links, easily

separated. It’s the single links that mainly are absorbed into our blood. The most common is called glucose. When your doctor measures your blood sugar, glucose is what is being measured.

Any food, say a slice of an orange, contains calories.

But those calories add to our weight, and influence whether we might develop diabetes, only if they are efficiently broken down into single links – glucose – and then are absorbed into our body.

Our intestines contain trillions of bacteria of different types. Some types are very good at breaking up carbohydrates into glucose; other types are not. If you’re a person with lots of the first type of bacteria

living inside you, every slice of orange you eat will lead to more calories getting into your blood.

The recent study presents evidence indicating that artificial sweeteners may encourage the growth of the types of bacteria that generate more glucose -- and, hence, lead us to absorb more calories. In other words, while the sweeteners don’t contain calories, they may cause us to absorb more calories.

If other scientific studies confirm these findings, I will be further lowering my modest consumption of artificial sweeteners. I’ll keep you posted.
