A brief look at Morris’ grain shipping history During Monday night’s Morris City Council meeting, those in attendance were treated to a brief history lesson by Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick.

While explaining why the council was against shutting down Illinois Avenue between Wauponsee and Calhoun streets during the six Saturdays of the 3 French Hens County Market at Canal Port Plaza, Kopczick pointed out that the city was, in part, built by the grain elevators on the Illinois River.

He said that in the 1930s, when the Army Corps of Engineers put in the lock and dam system on the Illinois River, a tugboat and barge in Morris now had access to anywhere in the world that could be reached by water. That made Morris an important stop along shipping routes and led to the town becoming, for a time, the largest inland exporter of grain in the world.

“The grain industry has been very important to Morris,” Kopczick said.

“At the south end of town, you have the Illinois River and the elevators. Later, the Rock Island Railroad ran through town carrying grain, among other

VIEWS Rob Oesterle things. The river and railroad lines define our downtown to this day.”

Kopczick went on to cite a study done by the University of Illinois that showed soil in the Illinois and Mazon River valleys around Morris to be some of the most fertile in the entire country.

So, it wasn’t without good reason that the council didn’t want to tell the grain elevators that they had to basically shut down their business for six days during the summer. Whether most folks in Morris know it or not, those elevators do a lot of business and forcing them to shut down for nearly an entire week’s worth of time might make them want to look for a new place to do that business.

Kopczick went on to say that it was nothing against 3 French Hens that caused the council’s decision.

“They have done very well for them-

LOOKING UP

selves and grown quite a bit in the six years that they’ve been doing it,” he said about the monthly summer market.

“It’s just that they are as big now as they can get if they want to keep using that area.

“They want the ambiance of Canal Port Plaza, and it’s a beautiful site along the river. But Illinois Avenue was specifically reconstructed to handle semi traffic for the elevators. When cars are parked on both sides of Washington Street, there is no way a semi truck can get through there. Heck, you can barely get a pickup truck through there. That’s not an option for semi-truck traffic.”

So, for now, 3 French Hens will remain at its current size and number of vendors, unless it decides to move to a larger venue.

And the elevators will continue to use Morris as a main shipping site, as they have for longer than most of us have lived here.

COVER STORY

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Walls are cracked, carpet is discolored and water has crept into parts of the Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area visitor center.

The building, which looks and seemingly smells of the early 1970s when it was built, is in need of a revitalization – one that would fix problem areas and maintain historical significance.

“The state is aware of the problem,” said Susie Johnson, president of Goose Lake Prairie Partners volunteer group. “It’s slated to be on the 2016 project list, but the Illinois Department of Natural Resources can’t proceed due to the state’s lack of a budget.”

The state of Illinois is now in its ninth month without a budget, as legislators on both sides of the aisle debate the best path toward fiscal balance.

The budget standoff has caused funding nightmares in many departments and halted countless capital projects.

The IDNR is no different.

Chuck Johnson, husband of Susie Johnson and also a Goose Lake Prairie Partners member, said the group was told under former Gov. Pat Quinn that the visitor center is in the state’s plans. IDNR spokesman Chris Young confirmed Monday that the Goose Lake Prairie visitor center is in line for a renovation, currently estimated to cost $983,000.

“All contracts have been placed on hold due to the inaction of the Illinois Legislature to pass a balanced budget and enact real reforms,” Young said in an email. “If a balanced budget is passed and approved, those contracts can go forward.”

Historical significance

Goose Lake Prairie is nestled in rural Morris, south of the Illinois River and between the former Collins Generating Station to the west and Dresden Generating Station to the east. Much of the 2,537-acre state park is composed of native prairie plant and animal spe-

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Duane Snow, site superintendent of the Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area, talks last week about how the park operates amid a nine-month state budget stalemate. cies that form a snapshot of what Illinois looked like 200 years ago, when 21 million acres of prairie grew from the state’s nutrient-rich soil.

But, within a few short generations of Euro-American settlers’ arrival, more than 99 percent of the biologically diverse Illinois landscape had been altered by agriculture and urbanization. Although Illinois is known as the Prairie State, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of Illinois’ original 21 million acres of prairie remains, according to NationalForests.org.

Aside from trails, a playground and a few park buildings, Goose Lake Prairie hasn’t been altered since 1969, when the state bought an initial 240

acres to open the park.

Importance of visitor center

While the prairie is best left untouched, the visitor center needs attention. It serves to enrich one’s experience at the prairie, the Johnsons said.

It houses exhibits full of fossils, maps and diagrams – a few of them interactive – that paint a picture of evolution throughout the area.

Goose Lake Prairie Partners announced in February its fundraising goal of $7,000 for an artist-created educational mural on the history of the park and the surrounding area. As of last week, the group is halfway to its goal.

“We really think the mural will teach visitors the history of this area and keep them coming back,” Chuck Johnson said.

The mural will feature seven stages of the area’s evolution. It will start with the glacier that carved the entire region, and end with present day as the park sits in the middle of an industrial corridor and blossoming residential region. It also will show how Native Americans lived on the land with little alteration, followed by the early settlers that developed what is still a strong foundation of farming in Grundy County.

Two Pennsylvania women charged with marijuana trafficking near Minooka

Gunshots in Coal City result in arrest of 2 men

MINOOKA – Two women were arrested over the weekend by Illinois State Police after troopers found just under 11 pounds of marijuana.

Leesa M. Bonaminio, 26, and Veronica L. Wagner, 27 – both of Pennsylvania – were traveling eastbound Saturday afternoon on Interstate 80 when troopers initiated a traffic stop at mile marker 118 near Minooka, State Police District 5 Sgt. Brad Angus said.

Bonaminio and Wagner were arrested at 3:02 p.m. and charged with marijuana trafficking, a Class 1 felony.

The amount of marijuana found was just short of the amount categorized as warranting Class X felony charges.

According to Illinois law, trafficking of marijuana becomes a Class X felony and carries a longer prison sentence when more than 11.02 pounds, or 5,000 grams, are found.

Minooka board of education names Lee new superintendent

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent The Minooka Community High School board of education has chosen a new superintendent to take over the two-campus district.

He starts in the role July 1. Kenneth Lee, current superintendent of Iroquois County Community Unit School District 9, was approved for the job during a March 3 meeting.

To find its candidate, the school board hired an executive search firm that conducted a survey of what staff, students,

parents, the community and others thought were important qualities in a new superintendent.

The survey showed the most desirable quality was financial acumen.

Other highly desirable qualities included approachability, ability to collaborate well, honesty, integrity and good communication skills.

Lee’s base salary will be $173,800, in addition to receiving TRS benefits and medical insurance provided by the district.

He also will receive $2,500 for moving expenses. Lee said he will live in the district.

COAL CITY – Two men were arrested Saturday in Coal City after police say they fired several rounds of ammunition into the ground.

Coal City police were dispatched about noon to the 400 block of South Marguerite Street after a resident reported gunshots at a nearby home.

Police entered the residence of Edward L. Smith, 53, without incident and inquired about the noise.

According to the arrest report, Smith and Jose J. Lopez, 30, of Wilmington, said they were unaware of any shots being fired but Smith said he “heard a couple loud noises coming from the area of his neighbor’s residence.”

The report stated officers then saw ground in the backyard altered in five different places and found a metal projectile. Officers then went back into the home and requested information on the evidence found, at which point Lopez admitted to firing four shots and Smith admitted to firing one, according to the report. A 9 mm gun was taken into evidence.

Lopez was charged with possession of a firearm without a FOID card, possession of firearm ammunition without a FOID card and reckless discharge of a firearm.

Smith was charged with possession of a firearm without a FOID card, possession of firearm ammunition without a FOID card, reckless discharge of a firearm and having a revoked FOID card.

including immunizations, mental health counseling and public health inspections, the news release said..

Madigan’s office investigated the case based on a referral from the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Investigators found a pattern of repeated cash deposits into Chronister’s bank accounts from 2009 to 2013.

As bookkeeper, Chronister kept track of money received within the health department and its three different divisions: environmental, mental health and nursing. The county detected in 2012 that cash was not being consistently deposited with the county treasurer’s office from the health department and ordered an audit, which revealed the missing funds.

The county terminated Chronister from her position in February 2013.

Bureau Chief David Navarro, Assistant Attorney General Jonas Harger and Associate Director Louis Dolce handled the case for Madigan’s Public Integrity Bureau with assistance from the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office.

MORRIS – A former employee of the Grundy County Health Department pleaded guilty last week to theft for stealing $42,000 in county funds.

Renae Chronister, 47, of Morris spent the money on personal shopping trips, restaurant meals and visits to hair and nail salons, according to a news released issued March 2 by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

Chronister was ordered to pay $42,000 in restitution and was sentenced to 24 months of probation and 480 hours of community service after pleading guilty before Judge Robert Marsaglia in Grundy County Criminal Court.

“The defendant was ordered to pay back the taxpayer money that she recklessly used to foot the bill for her lifestyle,” Madigan said in the news release.

While Chronister was working as bookkeeper, she stole the funds by pocketing cash paid by area residents and businesses for county services,

Balkema fills county board position vacated by Nelson

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The county board voted 13-0, with John Roth, Vicki Geiger and Frank Halpin absent, Tuesday to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of David Nelson with Grundy County Republican Central Committee nominee Chris Balkema of Minooka.

“I was thrilled when the Republican Central Committee forwarded his name to me,” County Board Chairman David Welter said. “His background and experience are assets to the board.”

Welter said before the meeting he feels Balkema is in a position to jump into leadership roles quickly. Welter recommended Balkema be appointed to the Tax/GIS Committee, Technology/ Elections Committee, and be chairman of the Finance Committee.

Board member Dick Joyce said he did not agree with Balkema being made chairman of the Finance Committee, despite his previous time on the board.

Board member Debra Jo Kinsella said she has the same concerns as Joyce about making Balkema chairman.

Debra Warning said before the vote she supported Balkema being named chairman.

The appointments passed with a 9-6

Grundy County Judge Robert Marsaglia swears in new county board member Chris Balkema at Tuesday’s Grundy County Board meeting. vote. Doug Boresi, Millie Dyer, Ann Gill, Dick Joyce, Mike Onorato and Debra Jo Kinsella voted no.

Balkema said he’s always had an interest in local politics and left the county board previously to run for a congressional seat.

“I enjoyed my 2010 to 2014 term. It’s great to give to the county and take the experiences I gained from the Minooka High School board and through business and apply it to the county board,” Balkema said.

He said after coming in second on the congressional bid, he decided to become

active again on a local level and was happy to have the opportunity to serve the county again.

Assessor position filled

The Grundy County supervisor of assessments position is filled seven months after Stephanie Kennedy resigned effective Aug. 7.

Despite having the position on the January county board meeting agenda, and then removed at the meeting, the county did not move forward until Tuesday night’s meeting when the board vot-

ed, 15-0, with Vicki Geiger and Frank Halpin absent, to approve the hiring of Doug Anderson of Bourbonnais.

County Administrator Doug Pryor said Anderson has served as the Bourbonnais Township assessor for many years and will be an asset to the county.

“I’m very excited to bring Doug [Anderson] on board,” Pryor said. “He has been a township assessor for many years and brings a lot of experience to the position. He will provide great leadership for the assessment office.”

The position has a salary of $85,000 and has a four-year contract.

Animal Control administrator named

The position of Animal Control director has been filled with Susan Gale, a longtime employee of Grundy County Animal Control after a 15-0 vote from the county board, with Geiger and Halpin absent.

The position was open after Grundy County Animal Control Director June Krull, who served the county and its animals for nearly 20 years, died in January after a long battle with cancer.

“Sue has been with us for many years, 16 at Animal Control,” Welter said during the meeting. “I can’t think of anyone more qualified for the position.”

help cover future projects.

The work will be done by volunteers.

“What’s great is it gives a place for non-skilled volunteers to be able to help,” she said.

Van-Yperen said that while every organization counts on volunteers, Habitat’s volunteers truly make it thrive, which makes Grundy County an even stronger community.

One of Habitat’s volunteers turned board member – Kevin Brown, owner of Brown Bear Painting – also is being

recognized by the chamber as Entrepreneur of the Year, along with Jane and Stu Kerr, who own Apple Butter & Shugie’s in downtown Morris.

Brown said he was surprised to learn he was named as entrepreneur of the year after just four years in business.

“I was shocked, I didn’t feel I should be sharing the same stage with Apple Butter & Shugie’s, who have been in business, I believe, 20 years,” Brown said.

He said he is proud to be sharing the stage with Habitat and feels both his company and the organization have grown tremendously the past few years.

“Brown Bear Painting has gone from a one-man shop to employing five full-time employees year-round, and 12 seasonally – in just four years,” Van-Yperen said. “That is quite the accomplishment for any business, let alone for a small-business owner. As business owners and managers, Kevin Brown an inspiration for all of us.”

The awards were set to be announced at Wednesday night’s annual dinner hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. Visit MorrisHerald-News.com for coverage from Wednesday night’s event.

MORRIS – The Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity is the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce Organization of the Year.

After completing house No. 12 in Grundy County and the addition of a new program called A Brush with Kindness, Chamber Executive Director Christina Van-Yperen said the Habitat organization stood out.

“Organization of the Year is always a tough one for the chamber board to vote on,” Van-Yperen said. “We receive thoughtful nominees for this award every year from our members. This year Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity especially stood out because of the 12 houses they have already built in and around the county, and now with their announcement of the new Brush with Kindness program.”

A Brush with Kindness is an exterior repair program that helps low-income homeowners complete jobs under $3,000 to the exterior of their homes.

Habitat Executive Director Sarah Peterson said many of the applicants for the program have been seniors, and the organization looks forward to completing its first project this spring.

Four Republicans vie for three spots on the November ballot

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

Candidates

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Four candidates are seeking three spots in the Republican primary for Grundy County Board District 1: Carter Corsello, Vicki Geiger, Don Hansen and John Roth III. Carter Corsello, 49, of Morris, feels that his experience in the military will help him as a county board member.

He said while making decisions at a moment’s notice, as a member of the military for 22 years, he had to think about the long-term effect of those decisions, something the county board should be doing.

“I know my experience will transition well to the board,” he said. “I know it’s a strength I have.

Incumbent Vicki Geiger, 58, of Morris, said her reason for wanting to remain on the board is the same as it was when she ran for her first term four years ago. She wants equal opportunity for all of the residents.

“There was some nepotism within the county and I felt some people were more concerned with personal gain

MORRIS – Four candidates are seeking three spots in the Democrat primary for Grundy County Board District 3: Ann Gill, Frank Halpin Jr., James Riley and Jim Ryan.

Ann Gill, 45, of Coal City was appointed to the county board in 2005, and has remained on the county board since that time.

“I’ve always been interested in government; I think it goes back to when I was in college and covering college government for the newspaper,” Gill said.

She said she enjoys the work part of the job, not the campaigning, and likes being part of the process that looks out for residents.

Her biggest concern moving forward is the budget and increasing economic growth in the area.

“No matter where you live in the county, there is room for economic development, there is a lot of potential for growth,” Gill said. “We need to look at how the county board can work with municipalities to grow.”

Dwight seeks sales tax increase

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com DWIGHT – If at first you don’t succeed, try again.

The Village of Dwight is doing so this election season, as it seeks a 1 percent sales tax increase, that if approved, would generate $500,000 a year that would mainly be used for road improvements.

Voters in Dwight will be asked on the March 15 primary ballot whether they support a referendum that asks for the increase. The village tried two years ago to pass the referendum, but failed.

Dwight President Jared Anderson said, this time around, he as well as village board members and a few community leaders have boosted efforts to get the message to voters.

“We want to make people understand the proper information, instead of a misconception that this money will just be thrown into the general fund,” Anderson said.

The sales tax dollars generated specifically will go to road, sidewalk and other infrastructure improvements, he said. Roadwork for the entire village is estimated between $5 million and $6 million.

“We did a couple roads a couple years ago, but we just don’t have the funds to

Referendum Shall the Village of Dwight impose a NonHome Rule Municipal Retailers’ Occupation Tax and Non-Home Rule Municipal Service Occupation Tax (commonly referred to as a “municipal sales tax”) at the rate of 1.0% for expenditure on public infrastructure, and municipal operations in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 8-11-1.3 and 8-11-1.4 of the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/8-11-1.3 and 65 ILCS 5/8- 11-1.4)? do them all,” Anderson said.

There’s been a drop in sales tax revenue in the village that once had three car dealerships but now has one. Retail businesses downtown also have slipped, he said.

But the village believes a good chunk of the roadway costs will end up being funded by visitors.

“A majority of our money coming in is from travelers who stop at the [Interstate 55 and Route 47 interchange],” Anderson said. “We figure this is the best way to go about it instead of a property tax increase.”

The interchange is home to a Circle K, Arby’s, McDonald’s, Subway, and three gas stations – one of which is a truck stop.

partners and I liked learning something new,” said Makena Wons, 7, of Plainfield.

Makena’s mom, Jessica Wons, heard of the event by word of mouth and decided to attend.

“My daughter does other dance classes, but has always been interested in Irish dance. She watches YouTube videos at home. So, when we heard

about the open house, we wanted to check it out,” Jessica said.

After the Ceili dance, older dancers from the school performed the traditional dances the students learn in class. The crowd watched and cheered, and the smaller girls watched in awe.

“My daughter, who is 7, takes dance at Keigher, but they don’t get to see the older kids dance very often, so she

enjoys that as well as being with her friends and family,” said Katie Oster of Plainfield.

The evening wrapped up with one more round of Ceili dance. The dancers were more comfortable the second round and the room filled with laughter, spins and shuffles.

Without a hitch, Morris Redskin winter guard wins first place

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com ST. LOUIS – The Morris Redskin winter guard brought home first place from last weekend’s Winter Guard International regional competition in St. Louis.

“The goal was to expose them to a WGI event because they are ready for that level of competition,” coach Laura Zomboracz said Sunday morning from St. Louis.

The team performed “Hitch” this season as it paid homage to Alfred Hitchcock and the iconic music that fans have grown to love.

On Saturday, the team competed in the Scholastic Regional A class against five other schools, including Plainfield High School, which came in third place.

This is the only WGI event Morris will participate in this year. The competition was in addition to the Midwest Colorguard Circuit that the team com-

final performance at 6:19 p.m. was the best she ever has seen the team perform.

“I have some of the hardest working girls on this team,” the coach said. “They know how much work they have to put in, and they have.”

Just after 11 p.m., the team found out at the awards presentation it had won first place with a score of 78.02.

According to the WGI website, “winter guard is the sport of indoor color guard. Modern color guard is a combination of the use of flags, sabers, mock rifles and other equipment, as well as dance and other interpretive movement.”

Zomboracz said next year the team plans to return to WGI, but will advance up one class for competition.

The goal is to have the Morris winter guard program ready to compete at the WGI world levels in the next five to 10 years. This is the fifth year of the program at Morris Community High School.

MINOOKA – As young girls, Holly McNichols and her sister Susan Keenan grew up Irish dancing. One tradition they loved was the Ceili parties before the dance competitions.

The sisters now own Keigher Academy of Irish Dance in Minooka and have brought the Ceili party tradition for their dance students and the community.

“I thought it would be neat to bring this tradition back to my school, and community,” McNichols said. “Plus, the kids get so wrapped up in competitions, but we want to show them that there is so much more to Irish dance than that.”

More than 100 people walked Friday night through the doors of the village of Minooka Community Room into a space filled with Irish music via accordion, balloons, food, fellowship and, of course, dance.

“I am so glad to see people I don’t recognize from the school. We wanted people from the community to come and enjoy themselves as well,” Keenan said.

When the time came to perform the Ceili dance, which is similar to a square dance, she had each person pair with a friend, and then placed two pairs together to form a square. She went through the steps slowly, as her own students are not taught this dance in class, and then added the accordion music – and the room came alive.

“This is hard to learn because of the beat, but it was fun when we traded

MORRIS – Nearly everything went smoothly Monday night at the meeting of the Morris City Council as most of the requests and motions passed without a hitch.

With one exception.

The 3 French Hens Market had proposed to close Illinois Avenue between Wauponsee and Calhoun streets from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 14, June 11, July 9, Aug. 13, Sept. 10 and Oct. 8 – all days the market is scheduled for the 2016 season.

A motion to deny that request was approved 6-0; council members Randy Larson and Julian Houston were absent.

Safety was the main concern for denying the request, as Illinois Avenue had been reconstructed by the state as a designated truck route to facilitate access to the grain elevators west of Stratton Park.

Closing Illinois Avenue in those blocks would have forced semi trailers to use Washington Street to access the Calhoun Street bridge to the elevators, and Washington Street is too narrow to accommodate that type of traffic, especially with the number of vehicles typically parked on both sides during the French Hens’ hours on those days.

“Those elevators see a lot of traffic,” Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said.

“We would be basically telling them that they have to shut down those six days. Shutting Illinois Avenue down for a couple of days during Corn Festival is different. We’ve been doing that for 68 years, and the elevators understand that. To do it for six Saturdays during the summer, that would be a different story.”

The council did approve a request by 3 French Hens to use the Canal Port Park for its seventh season of French Country Markets on the aforemen-

“We would be basically telling them that they have to shut down those six days.”

Board approves items for senior housing complex

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – After more than 20 months of public hearings and planning, the new affordable independent living center for seniors, St. Elizabeth Residences, has passed muster with the Channahon Village Board and is on its way to development.

The board approved Monday an annexation and development agreement with Bishop J. Peter Sartain, of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Joliet; new zoning regulations for Channahon’s Town Center; and a special-use permit for a planned unit development that will allow the project to proceed, pending staff approval of engineering.

“I have no doubt that this will fill up very fast,” Channahon Director of Community Development Mike Petrick said after the meeting.

Petrick said the internal process to get the housing project through Village Hall took a lot of work. Changes had to be made in many village documents, he said, and public hearings were required for most of those changes.

“The process has been very interactive with the community,” he said. “It’s been encouraging to see the interest in it.”

Steven Gaydos, fiscal director of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Joliet, said in a previous village board meeting that helping the elderly is a large part of the budget of Catholic Charities. The estimated $14 million project will be privately funded.

“There is a real lack of affordable

The project could break ground in early summer.

Channahon Trustee Scott Slocum voted against all three of the measures, saying later that he had several concerns with the documents. He was the only one to vote against the measures.

“I’m concerned there won’t be enough opportunity for Channahon people to be in there,” he said.

Slocum said he also was worried

about the tenets of the measures remaining the same should ownership change down the road.

“Yeah, it looks great now,” he said, “but what will it look like 20 years in the future? It could turn into a different type of facility.”

The special-use permit approved Monday specified residents must be at least 62 years old. No younger spouses or children will be allowed. An exception will be given to caregivers who are younger than 62 and under a physi-

cian’s instruction.

The process of how residents will be selected is outlined in the special-use permit, with the highest number of points, 25, given to Channahon residents. Twelve points will go to family of Channahon residents; six points to veterans and widows of veterans; three points to employed senior citizens; three points to seniors who have been displaced; and one point to those who can show an unmet housing need.

Applicants also will be sorted by income tiers. Of the 48 rental units, five will be reserved for seniors whose annual income is 30 percent of the area’s median, or $15,960 for one person and $18,240 for two. Twenty-six apartments will be for those whose incomes are 50 percent of average, or $26,600 for one person and $30,400 for two. Seventeen units will be for those at 60 percent of the area’s median income, or $31,920 for one person and $36,480 for two.

A list will be made of applicants, then at various times during the year, all on the list will be ranked by the point system and considered.

The residences are planned for the village’s Town Center, just west of St. Ann Catholic Church. The complex will include a mixture of one- and two-bedroom apartments in four, three-story buildings. Each apartment will have its own attached one-car garage. There will also be a clubhouse with an apartment that will house a live-in manager.

Also at Monday’s board meeting, it was announced the cost of refuse stickers will increase May 1 from $1.50 to $1.75.

Fire at Dwight Road residence in rural Morris a total loss

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com

and HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The fire that destroyed a residence at 2860 N. Dwight Road last week has been determined not suspicious.

Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District Chief Tracey Steffes said the district’s investigator found nothing suspicious and viewed it a second time with an investigator from the homeowner’s insurance company and it has been turned over to the insurance company.

“We know for sure it’s not a suspicious fire,” Steffes said last week.

“We’re putting the value lost at $300,000 between the structure and its contents.”

While the cause is still being determined, Steffes said fire officials were looking at a wood burning stove as a

possibility.

The Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District responded about 9 p.m.

March 1 to a structure fire at 2860 N. Dwight Road south of the Illinois River and west of Route 47.

All residents of the home escaped safely. MABAS 15 fire districts were called in to help battle the blaze and get water from the city out to the rural property.

The fire started in the basement, then extended to the first floor and the attic. The first floor collapsed into the basement, and the attic collapsed as well. No one was sent into the building because of the severity of the blaze.

“We were here until between 1:30 and 2 a.m., then came back between 6:30 and 7 a.m.,” Steffes said upon returning to the scene the morning of March 2. “The property owner was aware – we had a good idea there were a couple spots we were concerned about that we couldn’t

get good access to until sunlight.”

Firefighters spent time the morning of March 2 extinguishing the hot spots, Steffes said. That same day, the Grundy County Highway Department provided a piece of construction equipment to help remove debris so firefighters could

better access the hot spots, Steffes said.

Nicor Gas and ComEd were on the scene the night of the fire to assist.

MABAS 15 agencies assisted Morris in supplying water from the fill site at the intersection of Franklin Street and Illinois Avenue in downtown Morris.

Only 6.25% Sales Tax!

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent GODLEY – Hundreds of young girls and their moms flooded the Godley Park District Center on Saturday for the sixth annual Melissa’s Closet and Crystal’s Jewelry Box fundraiser.

Donated dressed – most where no older than 2010 – were available for $5.

Each girl could buy one long and one short dress. Also for sale were shoes and accessories, and free jewelry.

The annual event is in honor of Melissa Michalowski, 18, and her friend Crystal Carr, 17, who were killed in December 2008 in a car accident on icy roads in Custer Park.

Event organizer Laurie Becker worked with Michalowski at Whitmore Ace Hardware. That, combined with other students student employees asking for more hours, gave Becker an idea.

“I went to my bosses – Whitmore Ace Hardware stores owners Mike Cripe, David Cripe and Michael Cripe – and asked if we could collect prom dresses and sell them for a fundraiser in memory [of Melissa and Crystal],” Becker said. “They said, ‘Yes, do what you have to do.’ ” Becker said 120 dresses were donated the first year; this year say more

than 1,500. Paul Mitchell School of Kankakee set up a salon and more than 100 volunteers helped with the event, including the setting up and tearing down.

One volunteer was Carr’s sister, Sadie.

“This event brings back a lot of memories and I’m heavy in the heart, but I’m grateful for everyone who puts this together in memory of my sister,” Sadie said.

Another volunteer was Daniela Lakosilova, 20, of Norridge. In 2012 Lakosilova, then 16, was waiting for a stem cell transplant to treat her leukemia. She begged her doctor to allow her to attend a similar sale. Her high medical bills left little budget for a prom dress.

Lakosilova shopped the day before the sale and wore a mask.

“I found a beautiful red dress and made it back to the hospital,” Lakosilova said.

Brandy Van Ostrand and her daughter Morgan, 18, of Joliet found two dresses, a blessing to their budget. As Brandy stood in line to pay, the dress she donated – which was donated to her and the only reason she could attend her prom – was tried on and loved by another girl.

“So many families have to live pay-

check to paycheck and can’t afford the high price of a dress. This is so awesome,” Brandy said.

Debbie Michalowski, Melissa’s mother, said the event was bittersweet, but she knows it’s good for other girls.

“I miss my daughter every day; she was my only daughter and my best friend. Her senior year, she and

Vertical windows

Unless you live in a bunker, your home already has vertical windows (in the walls) and the support structure for them was incorporated into the wall when the home was built. Replacing an existing under-sized vertical window with a larger one should be an easy task for a professional. Installing a new window where none existed before is slightly more complex. The installers may need to add support to ensure the new opening doesn’t compromise the wall’s ability to support the weight of the roof and/or story above it.

Vertical windows fall into several types, including: • Double–hung/single hung – Double– hung windows can open from the top or bottom, while single hung open only from the bottom. These are the most common types of wall windows used in

Roof windows

Most traditional windows admit light at the wall level, while skylights bring light into the home from above.

Roof windows are somewhat of a hybrid in that they combine some of the best qualities of both vertical windows and skylights. They are located within reach and are operated by hand, and they can provide a great view of both the landscape and sky.

Roof windows are large enough and quickly open wide enough to allow a person to easily exit a room for roof maintenance or in an emergency. This makes them a logical choice for locations where building codes require a method of egress. Roof windows can be fitted with a variety of blinds and insect screens and are very often the choice for attic conversions and other applications where sloped walls or rooflines are within reach.

Is your home chilly and dark in winter, or stuffy and dark in the summer? If your home has too small or too few windows, it can be difficult to get the natural light and ventilation you crave and need for good health. You may look around your digs and think, “this place could stand some more windows,” but have no clue if it’s feasible to add them or how to get started.

Cutting a hole in a wall or roof can be a scary prospect for homeowners, but adding windows, roof windows or skylights isn’t as hard as you might think. What’s more, properly installed windows, roof windows or skylights can be a highly rewarding way to improve a home’s air quality, energy efficiency, healthfulness and visual appeal while making it a more pleasant place to be every day.

If you’re unsure what type of window or skylight might be right for you, here’s a rundown of the basics:

modern homes.

• Casement – Often, but not always, narrow and vertical, casement windows open outward using a crank handle.

• Fixed – These windows don’t open.

Typically, picture or bay windows are fixed.

• Awning – Often used above or below fixed windows, awning windows flip outward from the top or bottom.

• Sliders – These windows open by sliding either to the left or right, and they’re common in contemporary or modern designs.

Coal City High School students perform Little Shop of Horrors

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Coal City High School students will perform their spring musical “Little Shop of Horrors” this week.

Director Jack Micetich said this year’s performance is scaled back from some of the school’s most recent performances but it still showcases the talents of the cast.

Students will take viewers on a

tour of skid row and the struggle of a flower shop until a blood-drinking, human-flesh consuming plant promises to make dreams come true.

“Little Shop of Horrors” will be performed at the Coal City High School Auditorium, 655 W. Division St. in Coal City. Cost is $7 for adults, $5 for students and seniors.

Performances are at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday; 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday; and 1 p.m. Sunday.

In the Philippines, Wes developed a lifelong love for scuba diving and sea life. After moving to Bloomington upon his discharge from the Air Force, he maintained his scuba certification and took vacations to places he could dive whenever possible. Since these trips were not frequent enough to satisfy his love of the ocean, he brought the ocean and its inhabitants into his home with elaborate salt-water aquariums that brought him and his family much joy.

He married Christine Veselak on the beach, May 16, 1989 at Captiva Island, Florida. Wes was a devoted father and husband, avid reader, active community member, and engaged citizen.

He valued education and the pursuit of knowledge at all costs, and prided himself on being a learner and supporting the educational endeavors of those around him. He was a dedicated student, and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology as a non-traditional student at Illinois State University. He enjoyed understanding concepts and being as familiar as possible with everything he studied.

His children benefitted greatly from his love of learning. He cultivated enriching environments for his children’s minds by providing an endless supply of books, educational and life experience opportunities, and engaging conversations. As his children grew older, he found opportunities to provide the same experiences to his nieces and nephews, grandchildren, and grand-nieces and -nephews, much to their delight.

He was also passionate about gardening, and his niece, Sara Rivera, became his legs around the yard as his health declined. Through her, he was able to maintain the gardens, plants and aquarium he loved. Wes will be dearly missed by the many loved ones he left behind. He was kind, good-hearted, and warm, and he made sure those he loved knew they were loved.

Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers honored in top 100 list SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers has been named one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals by Truven Health AnalyticsTM, a provider of data-driven analytics and solutions to improve the cost and quality of health care.

The 100 Top Hospitals study has become the standard for measuring quality of hospital care in the United States by identifying top performers on measures of financial stability, operational efficiency, patient safety, inpatient and outpatient quality of care, and patient experience. Hospitals do not apply for consideration, and winners do not pay to market this honor.

“The 2016 100 Top Hospitals award winners represent the highest national standards in hospital care and management. They set the benchmarks for peers around the country to follow,” said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president at Truven Health Analytics. “Hospitals in three out of the five report groups actually reduced overall expense year over year, while improving patient outcomes – exactly the results that the entire industry hopes to attain.”

According to Truven Health, this year’s 100 Top Hospitals winners: • Had better survival rates, or fewer deaths than expected • Had fewer patient complications

Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers has been named one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals by Truven Health AnalyticsTM. • Better adhered to recommended standards of care • Had lower 30-day mortality and 30day readmission rates • Had shorter average lengths of stay • Provided more timely emergency care • Kept expenses low, both in-hospital and through the aftercare process • Had a median operating profit margin that was nearly 9 percentage points higher • Provided a better overall hospital experience as reported by patients

“Every day at Morris Hospital, we focus on providing the highest quality care, along with an excellent patient experience,” said Mark Steadham, president & CEO of Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers. “In addition to quality and service, we know that hospitals have to be financially sound in order to maintain their technology and facilities and expand their services for the community.”

The 2016 100 Top Hospitals winners were announced in the Feb. 28 issue of Modern Healthcare magazine. The an-

nouncement and winners list also appears on 100tophospitals.com and modernhealthcare.com.

This is the 23rd consecutive year for the 100 Top Hospitals study. Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers also received the 100 Top Hospitals award in 2007 and 1993.

“With over 2,700 eligible hospitals in the United States, receiving the 100 Top Hospitals award is a tremendous honor for Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers and our community,” Steadham said. “This award belongs to our staff, leaders, Board members, volunteers and physicians who focus every day on making Morris Hospital an excellent place for patients to receive care.”

Morris Hospital will be recognized at the 100 Top Hospitals Summit held June 8 to 10 in Dana Point, California.

To conduct the 100 Top Hospitals study, Truven Health researchers evaluated close to 3,000 short-term, acute-care, nonfederal hospitals. 100 Top Hospitals researchers use risk-adjusted methodologies to analyze public information – Medicare cost reports, Medicare Provider Analysis and Review data, and core measures and patient satisfaction data from the CMS Hospital Compare reports.

Information on this study and other 100 Top Hospitals is available at 100tophospitals.com.

Community Foundation of Grundy County holding annual career fair Growing up, I always wanted to be a veterinarian because I loved animals.

Sound familiar?

Once I reached a certain age and realized what it really meant to be a veterinarian – working with a variety of animals (not just dogs and cats), providing dental care, seeing animals neglected, and sometimes euthanizing them, not to mention going through a lot of schooling – I changed my career path.

During high school and up until entering college, I wanted to be a psychologist even though I really didn’t know what that meant. Finally after a semester of college, I decided on my career.

I was going to be a human resource manager. I was even lucky enough to have an internship in human resource during my senior year and I loved it – well some of it, OK, only the interviewing, orientation and training part.

After knowing exactly what I wanted to do (three different times) for so long it was time to spread my wings and enter the “real world.” What career path did I choose, you may wonder?

Well none of the three things I always

VIEWS Devan Gagliardo wanted to do! Surprised? My guess is you’re not because you or someone you know had the same experience. With the exception of a short time as a bank teller, I have worked in social services for the last 10 years. Starting as a victim advocate for victims of violent crimes, then a career counselor for adults with disabilities, and finally the program director at the Community Foundation of Grundy County. There are times I still wonder about career paths I never explored, such as nursing, and those careers I am now just learning exist.

Wouldn’t it be great if students just like me were given the opportunity to learn about careers they never knew existed so they could make smart choices regarding their educational track?

The Community Foundation of Grundy County and Grundy Area Vocational Center, in conjunction with

the Business Education Council, want to give students that opportunity. We are happy to announce we are holding the second annual eighth Grade Career Fair. The purpose of the event is to expose Grundy County Eighth-graders to a variety of careers available in and around Grundy County. On May 5, the District 101 Recreation Center on Morris High School Campus will be filled with more than 1,500 eighth-graders from Grundy County and the surrounding areas, as well as GAVC students and a variety of businesses from the Grundy County area.

We believe it is never too early for students to begin thinking about their future. However, we want it to be fun and engaging, which is why businesses have been asked to provide an interactive activity at their booth. At last year’s fair, students were able to see how a veterinary technician performs a blood draw on a dog, shoot water from a fire hose, and view X-rays of broken bones, along with many other activities. This year, we hope to expand the types of businesses available to students to in-

clude careers in the arts, mental health and the trades, among others.

In addition to businesses, we also would like the education sector represented at the fair. Currently each GAVC program will have a booth with student demonstrations. We also are hopeful some of our local colleges and universities will be able to attend this year.

At this time, we are still able to accommodate more businesses; therefore, we would welcome your business to participate. The fair is free for businesses to participate and is a wonderful way to talk with the upcoming workforce about the opportunities available in your career field, as well as what type of training and education is required.

If your businesses is interested in learning more about the Grundy County Eighth Grade Career Fair, please contact Devan at 815-941-0852 or devan@ cfgrundycounty.com.

We hope to see you there!

Bet on nothing when it comes to getting something done in Illinois

“How do they sleep at night?”

It’s a question I’m asked a lot these days.

The inquirers always wonder how Gov. Bruce Rauner, House Speaker Michael Madigan and their more full-throated enablers on both sides can live with themselves as they watch big chunks of the state government’s responsibilities crumble before their very eyes during the months-long governmental impasse.

As far as I can tell, they’re sleeping pretty well. And both sides appear to be using almost the exact same coping strategies.

Rauner and his crew say they’re horribly upset that Illinois doesn’t yet have a budget, but it’s all being stopped by one man, Speaker Madigan. Until Madigan and the legislators he controls decide to compromise, there’s nothing Rauner can do, they say. Simple.

Move along.

Madigan and his crew have been saying for months that Rauner is operating in the extreme by demanding nonbudgetary items that go against core Democratic principles. Until Rauner changes course, they say, there’s nothing Madigan can do. Simple. Move along.

Both men also see the key to a solution in the rank-and-file membership of the other party. Rauner repeatedly insists, without offering evidence, that several rank-and-file legislative Democrats are ready to stand against Madigan. The governor seems to truly believe that he’s not far away from breaking this thing wide open, despite the shunning of Rep. Ken Dunkin by his fellow House Democrats for openly siding with Rauner and the fortune being spent in a primary to tar and feather Dunkin, who dared stand up to Madigan and the unions.

Madigan, for his part, believes that a big key to solving this crisis is to continue putting pressure on House Republicans – forcing them to take the worst votes possible, such as standing against college MAP grants for impoverished students. He did it again last week by forcing an override motion on a vetoed MAP grant appropriations bill. Madigan rightly notes that the Republicans have cracked before and forced Rauner to relent on funding for child care, local governments, etc. All he has to do is wait them out, even though there’s that little problem of Sen. Sam McCann being shunned by his fellow Senate Republicans and the fortune being spent in the primary to tar and feather McCann, who dared to stand with the unions and against the governor.

Rauner and Madigan also are portraying each other as almost the embodiment of evil in their respective proxy campaigns. The

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller imagery is ugly on both sides.

Both men also are employing anti-Chicago rhetoric, with Rauner demanding a state takeover of the city’s schools and swearing off a bailout. For their part, Madigan and his suburban and Democratic members claim Rauner’s proposed school takeover idea is actually a state bailout, and they strongly oppose sending money to the big, bad city at the expense of their own districts.

In the meantime, Chicago’s school system was forced last month to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars at usurious interest rates just to keep its doors open during the impasse.

Chicago State University accelerated its spring semester in order to limp through the academic year and has sent layoff notices to every one of its 900 employees.

Western Illinois University just announced layoffs and cuts. Eastern Illinois University’s bond rating was just downgraded to junk status. Northern and Northeastern Illinois universities’s bond ratings both were downgraded to one notch above junk.

Rape crisis centers are closing, homeless teens can’t get help, and drug treatment programs are going out of business.

And yet, there’s no end in sight. Senate President John Cullerton has tried to play mediator, but that’s going nowhere as long as Madigan is dealing with his own Democratic primary opponent who’s funded mainly by Rauner’s supporters, and as long as Rauner is fully engaged in GOP primaries around the state.

Primary day is March 15. Both sides are seemingly trying to demonstrate to the other that their actions can have real electoral consequences. So, on March 16, we may know whether a truce can be called long enough to fix at least some of these problems.

But Madigan doesn’t easily forget attacks like these, nor does he cotton to outsiders meddling in his and his members’ primaries.

And the governor seems committed to win at all costs.

Plus, I’ve learned over the years always to bet on nothing when it comes to getting something done in Illinois. It’s the historically smart play, and you’re only wrong once.

Development partnership looking forward to Arts Festival

The second annual Liberty Arts Festival is coming July 14 to 16 to downtown Morris. I was happy to see so many businesses and organizations get involved and share in the excitement of the festival in 2015, and am looking forward to an even bigger and better event this year.

One of the highlights of the event is the Art Walk. Locals and visitors alike enjoy strolling down the street and visiting booths filled with photography, paintings, pencil drawings, glass art and more. This year we are planning to move the art walk to Washington Street and the southern part of Liberty Street.

This will keep all activities centrally located by the Grundy County Courthouse. Strolling musicians will provide entertainment throughout the event.

Based on feedback from the inaugural event we are making some additional improvements this year.

A “Hand-Made Market” area will be set up separately from the “Fine Art

COMMUNITY PULSE Julie Applegate Walk.” Additionally, this year’s event will be juried and ribbons and cash prizes will be awarded to first-, secondand third-place participants in the Fine Art Walk.

I have already received applications from painters, photographers, sculptors, woodworkers, and even an ironworker who plans to demonstrate his technique during the art walk.

However, we would like to pack the streets with artists and are encouraging others to get involved. Interested artists can either call 815-941-0245, or visit downtownmorris.com to download an application.

Plans also are in place for Shine Music Jam, a festival Christian music held during the arts festival. This event was

well-received in 2015, and we anticipate an increase in participation this year. Churches and local Christian musicians are encouraged to call or visit our website for an application to participate.

Of course, we are planning for plenty of music and kid’s activities throughout the festival. A full schedule of events will be available soon.

As part of the Liberty Arts Festival, the Morris Retail Association will once again be bringing art to the downtown streets as a festival preview. Each business is asked to decorate a garden item (wheelbarrow, garden gate, concrete statue, etc.) in a creative and artistic manner.

Starting June 1, these items will be placed outside of the businesses to bring art to the streets and promote the Arts Festival. On July 16, after the Art Walk wraps up, the MRA will host a “Garden Party” and auction these pieces, with proceeds going to several

charities.

But this event is not limited to downtown retailers – it is open to all businesses. If you are interested in participating, please email: shoptruenorth@hotmail.com. The MRA/ MDDP will be distributing signs to place with your item which will explain the details of the event.

I’m excited to bring this festival to downtown Morris and hope the community will enjoy all it has to offer. As always, we are looking for organizations and businesses to get involved.

Pot O’ Gold Fundraiser for We Care of Grundy County

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – We Care of Grundy County hopes to fill little pots of gold March 12 at its inaugural Pot O’ Gold Fundraiser in Morris.

With the expansion of programs and the new building, We Care Director Eric Fisher said the organization is going to try the new fundraiser to add to its other annual events, like We Care at the Farm, which is held each summer.

“Having a mid-winter event is important to us,” he said. “The funds will go into our general funds and will be used as we continue to grow our programs.”

The event also is a great way to get in an additional corned beef and cabbage meal prior to St. Patrick’s Day, according to Fisher.

Fisher said Lestina’s Catering will cater the event, and will add some Irish soda bread to the menu.

At 6 p.m., attendees will be treated to traditional Irish dance from Keigh-

er Academy of Irish Dance, before a DJ takes over and they can display their own moves on the dance floor.

The evening will offer a 50-50 drawing and some raffle items in addition to “Pots O’ Gold” to take donations.

Fisher said he hopes the event catches on as a way for people to get out and have some fun after the post-holiday doldrums, and winter weather.

CHANNAHON – Business leaders and community members came Feb. 27 for an inaugural fundraising event to support the Arroyo Trails development.

Flint Hills Resources provided a $25,000 donation to the People for Channahon Parks Foundation for the effort.

Flint Hills Resources employs more than 275 people at its Channahon facility. The check was presented by Flint Hills plant manager Mike Brose to Mike Rittof, Jeff White and Dave Rumsey, trustees with the Channahon Park Foundation, and Park Director Chuck Szoke at the fundraising event, Putts

and Suds Fore Parks.

“Our team has deep roots in the community and environmental protection and natural habitat restoration are a very important part of our community giving efforts. We are incredibly proud to be a part of this project. Not only will our employees be able to enjoy these trails with their families, but the community as a whole will, for generations to come,” said Brose.

The Foundation has raised nearly $800,000 to date and hopes to top $1 million soon. The Arroyo Trails encompasses 78 acres of land and is named for the topography of the area that was formed by glaciers over 10,000 years ago.

ply.

“Applicants will be asked to describe a time when they went above and beyond to help a friend, family member or stranger, and expected nothing in return,” Jancek said.

Applicants will explain in detail both how their good deed helped someone and what they themselves learned from it.

But the lasting impression from the good deed that started all of this, according to Jancek, Village of Dwight President Jared Anderson and Dwight Police Chief Tim Henson – who also is a school board member – is that Kodat and Arnold expected nothing in return.

Neither Jancek, Anderson or Henson knew of the story until Herter

contacted the school.

All three men said it was a reminder that every community, but particularly Dwight, has good kids.

“It instills faith in humanity that our younger generation will pick up where their fathers, mothers and grandparents left off,” Henson said.

Jancek said the media tends to sensationalize negative stories involving the youth, and people can lose faith in future generations because of it.

“While this is a positive, uplifting and exciting story, it’s not unique in that there are great things being done by young people all over this country,” Jancek said. “The problem comes in when we only hear about bad things.”

Jancek spoke to Kodat recently and discussed the idea of Kodat and Arnold helping judge the applications for the Warren Herter Pay It Forward Award.

He said Kodat still doesn’t want recognition, he just wants to do the right thing.

“He said, ‘You don’t have to put my name on anything,’ ” Jancek recalled from their conversation. “’We did it because it was the right thing to do, not to get an award. If the same thing happened tomorrow, we’d do it

again’.”

The award is not considered a scholarship because it is given for an act of kindness, Jancek said.

It doesn’t matter if the recipients are going to college, the military or working.

The money is meant to help with expenses associated with the students’ next step after graduation.

“It could go toward the cost of clothes for work,” Jancek said.

Meanwhile, Herter is in California doing writing and film work in addition to stand-up comedy. Jancek said he can be found on YouTube.

“He said he grew up in the Kankakee area and went to Herscher High School,” Jancek said. “He talked about being a drifter, and sort of looking for his niche. He has a lot of interesting stories to tell.”

Herter’s mom and sister died, and his father was in a nursing home – but he had no idea the money his father had saved. Herter told Jancek he sent part of his earnings from a job to his father for assistance, thinking he needed it.

He wanted to help his father, but in the end, he and his father are helping the community that helped them meet once again.

DWIGHT – Three years ago, two Dwight Township High School seniors decided to help a homeless man who was walking through Dwight in a blizzard with no jacket.

The students – Ryan Kodat and Luke Arnold – gave the man clothes, a jacket and money for a train ticket to Springfield so he could see his father.

The man’s father later died.

Unbeknownst to the man, Wade Herter, his father left behind an estate of $1.2 million.

Herter has since moved to Santa Monica, California, but not without sending a gift to Dwight High School.

District 230 Superintendent Richard Jancek learned Feb. 26 in a letter from Herter that the school would receive $10,000 from Herter in memory of his father, Warren Herter. The only request was the school honor his father with the donation.

Jancek asked the board to consider giving two students, in each graduating class for the next 10 years, $500 awards for acts of humanitarianism.

The board gladly agreed and soon the school will post on its website an application form for students to ap-

34 CLASS 4A MINOOKA REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: MINOOKA 49, BOLINGBROOK 31

Indians top Raiders for regional title

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – Resiliency, defense and teamwork.

That was how Minooka dominated Bolingbrook, 49-31, on Friday night to claim the Class 4A Minooka Regional championship. It was the Indians’ first regional title since 1977.

Minooka (23-8) earned a spot in the Class 4A Lockport Sectional with a 7 p.m. semifinal game Tuesday against fellow Southwest Prairie Conference foe Oswego.

After beating Romeoville in overtime in the semifinals on Tuesday, you knew the Indians would be ready for the Raiders, who had won nine of their last 10 games.

Minooka jumped to a 10-0 lead in the first four minutes on the strength of six points from Joe Butler and four from Larry Roberts. The Indians forced Bolingbrook into turnovers on their first five possessions and limited the Raiders to a field goal by Devon Sams (eight points) and a free throw

by Nana Akenten to lead 10-3 at the end of the quarter.

“Our base has been our defense all season,” Minooka coach Scott Tanaka said. “We work hard, we have tough kids who have bought into the program. They believe in what we do.

We had only two days to prepare and Bolingbrook was playing well. Tonight, we did what we do. This hasn’t been done since 1977 – wow. We are going to enjoy this.”

Minooka controlled the tempo in all parts of the game and worked efficiently on the offensive end for every shot. Both teams scored seven points in the second quarter and Indians led, 17-10, at halftime. Butler had 12 of his 16 points in the first half.

“This feels great, better than I thought it ever would,” Butler said.

“This team is a family, but it’s also special to win this with my brother (Jon) on the team. Larry (Roberts) is the only real basketball player on this team. We all love this game and we have been playing together since the fourth or fifth grade. We totally enjoy this sport, we are best friends and brothers. I could never imagine not playing.”

The defense forced Bolingbrook into 13 first-half turnovers and limited the Raiders to four field goals on only 12 shots.

“The first three minutes of the game was not good at all,” Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said. “We didn’t shoot the ball well from the

field or the free-throw line. I thought our defense played well. I knew it would be a low-scoring game, but never thought we would be in the 30s. They are a very disciplined team.

Give them credit, they came ready to play.

“This is part of high school basketball. We will move on and move forward from this.”

The Raiders were 1 of 7 from the free throw line in the first half and 8 of 24 for the game.

Bolingbrook cut the lead to 22-17 with 4:40 left in the third quarter, but Minooka hit two 3-pointers, one by Nick Clemmons and the other by Roberts (11 points), to go up, 28-17, entering the fourth quarter.

Minooka continued the run at

the start of the fourth quarter with six consecutive points from the Butler brothers – Jon with four, his only points of the game, and Joe with a basket – to lead, 34-17, and the celebration was starting.

“We knew they were a fast team,” Jon Butler said. “We played our style of basketball. This is pretty special.

Most of us also play other sports, but playing other sports teaches you how to compete at everything. This is really a team.”

Minooka made one more field goal the remainder of the game but hit 13 of 18 free throws. Clemmons was 6 of 8 and ended with nine points. He also grabbed five rebounds. The senior, who plays a key role coming off the bench, was excited.

“This is unbelievable, what a feeling,” he said. “We did this for our school. This hasn’t happened since 1977. We kept looking at that sign on the wall and wanted to put 2016 on it.

“I started earlier in the season, but coach and I had a talk and he said I would probably get more minutes coming off the bench. I have accepted my role. This is for the team and I really think it helps me coming off the bench. It helps my game.”

MARSEILLES – The Newark boys basketball team continued its winning ways as the Norsemen defeated Flanagan-Cornell, 53-46, in overtime in the Class 1A Marquette Academy Sectional final on Friday.

Newark (28-2) claimed its fifth sectional title in seven years to advance into the Elite Eight for the first time since 2013.

“It was fun to play a team that sound.

It’s unfortunate we both can’t advance,” Newark coach Rick Tollefson said of Flanagan-Cornell. “We really appreciate getting here, and we are going to try and enjoy it.”

Last year, Flanagan-Cornell (26-5) defeated Newark in overtime for the sectional title. The Norsemen were relieved to be on the winning side this time around.

“It was a dark feeling [last year].

That same day, Evan [Schomer] and I said we were not going to let that happen again,” Newark senior Jack Clausel said. “It felt good to come alive. We really pulled this one out.”

At the end of regulation, the game

remaining. In the final minute, the Norsemen missed a series of shots before Schomer (12 points) made a layup at the buzzer as time expired.

“I was fortunate to be able to get a good look there at the end of regulation,” Schomer said. “I’m just really proud of the guys and for us to be able to get through it. I’m just happy to keep playing and keep going.”

In overtime, Newark outscored the Falcons, 9-2. The Norsemen started the extra frame with a 3-pointer from Jack Clausel, and they never trailed again.

Clausel ended up with a game-high 27 points and 15 rebounds.

“It was nice to see Jack hit that three to get us some momentum there,” Tollefson said. “I thought we played with a lot of energy in overtime.”

Earlier in the game, Flanagan-Cornell led, 16-11, after the first quarter before Newark led, 26-23, at halftime after buckets from Steve McGrath and Will Clausel. That was part of a 9-0 run Eric Miller – emiller@shawmedia.com that also included a 3-pointer from Newark seniors Jack Clausel (from left), Evan Schomer, Mitchell Schmidt and Kendall Jack Clausel that started the scoring Enders show off their sectional championship plaque. in the second half. After a basket from Will Clausel, the Norsemen led, 31-23, was tied at 44. Newark led, 42-37, with Flanagan-Cornell went on a 7-0 run with 6:54 left in the third. Entering the 3:21 to play in the fourth quarter before to hold a 44-42 lead with 40.1 seconds fourth quarter, they led, 36-33.

36 CLASS 3A PLANO REGIONAL SEMIFINAL: PLANO 50, MORRIS 44

Morris boys nearly knock off No. 2 seed Plano in regional

By CHRISTINE BOLIN-DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com

PLANO – The Plano boys basketball team was on a five-game winning streak entering the Class 3A Plano Regional title game March 4. The Reapers entered the postseason on Tuesday as the No. 2 seed and defeated No. 7 Morris, 50-44, in the regional semifinal.

With the win, Plano improved to 18-9 overall with the win and went on to defeat Streator for the regional title.

Morris capped the season at 10-18 overall – its first losing season in seven years.

“I thought we could give Plano a run. I honestly thought we could be playing Friday night,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “[This season was] trying, challenging and rewarding. I think individually, our young players matured, I think we got a lot better, and I think we have some momentum going into next season. I’m the most proud of our kids battling every day. ...

I’m grateful for their work ethic.”

“Morris is a quality team. They are so well-coached, and Joe does such a great job,” Plano coach Kyle Kee added. “They know every play you are going to run, they are so physical and really dominated us inside – that’s something that hasn’t happened to us a lot this year. They had their players ready, but our guys were able to make plays there at the end when they needed to.”

There were two ties in the slowpaced first half, when Morris led 17-15.

That’s exactly the way the Redskins wanted it.

“We can’t play with them in an upand-down track meet, so we wanted to control the pace, frustrate them with our zone and extend possessions,” Blumberg said. “I thought we were successful with that for three-plus quarters.”

Steven Buyansky for Shaw Media

Plano’s Dahveed Mckinney and Morris’ Tyler Spezio dive for a loose ball March 1 during the Class 3A boys basketball regional game at Plano.

The pace certainly picked up in the second half, when both teams combined for nine 3-pointers. Morris led most of the third quarter and led 34-33 entering the final frame.

A bucket by senior Dahveed McKinney (team-high 10 points) capped a 7-0 run for the Reapers in the opening minute of the fourth quarter. A pair

of free throws from Jordan Miracle and another free throw from Tommy Balentine then gave Morris the 37-35 advantage with 6:24 to go. A putback from Plano’s Marcus Ramirez gave the game its final tie at 37. Morris’ final lead was 40-39 after a 3-pointer in the corner from Miracle (12 points) with 4:32 remaining.

McKinney and Brandon Contreras followed that with back-to-back 3-pointers, and the Reapers were able to maintain the lead with free throws from Dahveed McKinney, Marcus McKinney, Sergio Chavez and Will Benson in the final two minutes.

Morris’ Matt Walker led all scorers with 18 points.

MVK basketball coach Kirk Walker steps down

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com For the last 14 seasons, the MazonVerona-Kinsman boys basketball program has known only one head coach for both the seventh- and eighth-grade levels.

Kirk Walker began his career in 2003 at MVK as an assistant to Mavericks head coach Terry Misener, but took the reins as head coach the next season. Early last week, Walker announced that he would be leaving the position of head coach, which he held on a volunteer basis for the previous 14 seasons.

“It’s been a very fun experience coaching the boys here the last 14 years,” said Walker, who is employed as a postal worker in Minooka. “But my own little boy is turning 5 and it’s time for me to be able to go and watch what he gets involved in.”

During his 14 seasons, Walker amassed a record to 300-264 and won nine regional championships, including both seventh and eighth grades in 2010.

In 2015, the eighth-grade team won the sectional championship before losing to Champaign St. Matthews in the

Mazon-Verona-Kinsman boys basketball coach Kirk Walker (middle) talks to his team during a sectional game against Hazel Crest Jesse White ths season. Walker recently announced his retirement after 14 years of coaching at MVK. IESA Elite Eight. He also took the seventh-grade team to state in 2006 before losing to Bloomington Holy Trinity.

“That first year we went to state also was the year of my most memorable game,” Walker said. “It was in the regional championship against Saratoga on their floor. On of my nephews [Jordan Walker] played for Saratoga and we

won in double overtime. Eric Adkins for us and Kjeld Torkelson for Saratoga really put on show going back and forth that night. We went on to beat Pontiac St. Mary’s by two in the sectional and made it to state.”

Walker had four assistant coaches during his tenure – Pat Vint, Jared Walsh, Mike Pifer and Matt Baker. Bak-

er, the current assistant, will take over as head coach.

“Those guys were a real big help,” he said. “Because of my job in Minooka, most days I might not make it to Mazon until 3:45 and practice starts at 3:15. The assistants got things started and made sure the guys were ready to go when I got there.

“Matt Baker is a teacher at MVK, and I know he will do a great job.”

Walker recalled rivalries with Seneca, Saratoga, Gardner and Dwight as among his favorites, and also noted that Joliet Laraway was his nemesis, going 0-5 against them in his career, including 0-3 in postseason play.

“That’s one team I would have liked to have beat,” he said. “But we just couldn’t quite get over the hump against them. They are always very athletic and well-coached.”

He won’t leave basketball instruction altogether, though, as he is heading up a County Cagers program for kids ages kindergarten through fifth grades on the four Sundays in February.

He said the camp is similar to the camp run by the YMCA in Morris.

AREA ROUNDUP

Families of Faith Christian Academy to start football program STAFF REPORTS CHANNAHON – Families of Faith Christian Academy in Channahon has been dreaming of the day when it would finally be able to field a football team.

That wait is about to end.

The private Christian school has announced its plan to field a tackle football team in the fall of 2016.

“We are so excited to finally be able to make this announcement,” athletic director Kenton Ayers said. “There’s still a ton of work to be done, but we’re ready and are moving forward rapidly.”

The fall schedule will be a mix of public and private schools.

“We’re not in a position to join a conference yet and the other schools in our conference do not offer football.

So we’re going to go alone and play whoever we can get.”

Families of Faith is a private Christian school in Channahon with a total enrollment K-12 of approximately 150 students. The growing athletic program includes girls volleyball in the fall, boys and girls basketball, baseball and softball. Students in fourth grade and up are allowed to participate in all of the offerings except baseball, softball and the newest addition,

football.

For athletics, the school participates in the Illinois Athletic Conference. So far this year, the school finished second in the conference in junior high volleyball, third in varsity volleyball, second in women’s basketball, third in boys basketball and

the JV boys team won the conference basketball championship. The baseball team is hoping to improve on its second-place conference finish last season. Softball is in its second season and looking forward to improving within the conference as well.

“We have steadily grown over the years and have grown more rapidly the last couple of years. Our belief is that adding football will help us grow more rapidly and as we grow and the demand supports it, we will continue to add more new sports to our offerings. I can see soccer coming soon, cross country, maybe bowling and or golf and at some point lacrosse,” Ayers said.

Open enrollment is underway at the school and new students who are enrolling to play football will be eligible for some tuition discounts this fall.

Information about the school, or the football program can be found on their web site at fofca.com or by calling 815-521-1381.

Monee (90) rounded out the top five.

Class A athletes that took first for Minooka were: Kevin Lam (shot put, 51-11), Brandon Adams (400-meter dash, 50.34), Soren Knudsen (800-meter run, 2:02.21), the varsity 4x800 relay of Jack Sullivan, Lorenzo Capista, Nick Abdallah and Jake Swank (8:20.54) and the frosh-soph 4x800-meter relay of Mark Dames, Connor Gedwill, Jordan Freese and Matt Schofield (8:56.95).

Class B winners for the Indians were Miguel Lomeli in the 800-meter run (2:04.48), Marcus Hayden in the pole vault (13-0) and Quintin Durov in the long jump (20-9∏), while Lorenzo Capista took first in the Class C 1600-meter run (4:53.13).

The Indians a repeat selection, while senior Megan finished with 190 points, followed by DeClementi (12.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, Lakes (127) and Bolingbrook (120). 3.5 assists, 4.6 steals) was named for Homewood-Flossmoor (117) and Crete- the first time.

Ice out. What an amazing phrase.

I think most lakes around us are free of ice, or soon will be. The excitement around my house hit a new level when open water filled the bay.

Cody fished twice this weekend.

As I ran errands, I noticed that trucks dotted the boat ramps, trailers flew up and down the interstates, and a flurry of catalogs filled the mail. Spring fever has hit.

I’m sure I will be bombarded with commands to get the boat out of storage. I want to for sure and if I don’t hit the water before spring break, I will then. But what does an anxious angler do when they throw that first line?

Our excitement to get casting again is seldom matched by the scaly creatures we pursue. Their cold-blooded bodies are still coursing with a slow metabolism. The air may feel warm, but the water is not, and that is what anglers need to pay attention to this

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers time of year.

The slightest variations in water temperature can mean the difference between a boring day on the water, to one that sees a few fish being caught.

Notice I did not say a flurry of action.

That is not going to happen right away.

Ice out is not the best time to take new anglers on the water if they are expecting to catch a lot.

Besides the daunting water temperatures, the lakes are about the clearest they will be all season. Clear water is tough to fish no matter the time of year, but add frigid water to the mix, and a successful day will be measured in the number of bites, not the number of fish landed.

adno=0348299

the bait hang in the water column, undisturbed, can entice a predator to come and eat it. You will not feel the arm-jarring bites, but instead, the end of your line will appear heavy. Set the hook and enjoy the fight.

Another overlooked factor when fishing ice out is stealth. These creatures have been undisturbed all winter.

The racket of storage lids, footsteps, outboard motors, even trolling motors, are sounds that will put them on alert.

Approach as quietly as you can and make long casts. The bites are hard to come by, so put the odds in your favor.

If you can get on the water this week, enjoy being outdoors. Hopefully, the sun will shine and warm your spirit. Longer days are fast approaching.

Until then, I better go down to the dock and see if I can find Cody.

With that said, fish can be caught, and will be. As mentioned earlier, the slightest variation in water temperature makes a difference. If most of the lake is reading 46 degrees, and I find a sun-soaked pocket that is registering 49, my odds increase.

This is the time of year, I focus on north banks for that exact reason, and I prefer to find a bank covered in rock if I can. Rock holds the heat better than a muddy bottom and it releases it over a longer period of time. If you have ever laid a hand on a brick wall after the sun has set, you will understand. Fish find these places and utilize them while looking for more suitable habitat.

I prefer to fish a wide wobbling crankbait in these conditions. I fish it slow and bounce it off cover when possible. The erratic action induces fish to bite when they otherwise might not. My other lure of choice is a natural colored suspended jerkbait. Letting

Just a few weeks ago, nobody knew that the only U.S. State Silver Bars locked away in the private vaults of the Lincoln Treasury would be allocated to the U.S. Commemorative Gallery for a limited release to residents in 6 states. Every single one of the 50 U.S. State Silver Bars are date numbered in the order they ratified the Constitution and were admitted into the Union beginning in the late 1700s.

“As Executive Advisor to the Lincoln Treasury I get paid to deliver breaking news. So, for anyone who hasn’t heard yet, highly collectableU.S. State Silver Bars are now being handed over at just the state minimum set by the Lincoln Treasury to residents in 6 states who beat the offer deadline, which is why I pushed for this announcement to be widely advertised,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America.

“These bars are solid .999 pure fine silver and will always be a valuable precious metal which is why everyone is snapping up as many as they can before they’re all gone,” Withrow said.

Bundt cake pan turns 70

By LISA ABRAHAM

s the Bundt cake, a stalwart of the 1970s dessert table, enjoying a revival?

Everywhere I look these days – in every magazine, in every new cookbook – I seem to come across a recipe for a Bundt cake.

This year, it turns out, is a big one for the Bundt cake.

Nordic Ware, the Minnesota maker of the Bundt cake pan, is celebrating its 70th birthday.

And the Tunnel of Fudge Cake recipe – which saved the pan from culinary obscurity – is turning 50.

The fluted tube pan that we know as a Bundt pan wasn’t invented in the United States, but it did get its name here.

In 1950, Nordic Ware founder H. David Dalquist was approached by members of the Minneapolis Hadassah Society – who asked him to create an aluminum version of a cake pan from their native Germany that made a coffeecake known as gugelhupf or bundkuchen.

Dalquist named the result Bundt, adding a “t” to the German “bund” to make the pronunciation easier for Americans.

The pan, though, was far from successful.

In fact, it was about to be removed from production when a Houston homemaker, Ella Rita Helfrich, entered the 1966 Pillsbury Bake-Off and dramatically changed the course of its future.

Helfrich placed second in the bake-off, winning $5,000 for her Tunnel of Fudge Cake, made in a Bundt pan.

As the winning bake-off recipes were promoted, her cake became more popular than the grand-prize winner that year.

And, to this day, Pillsbury identifies Tunnel of Fudge Cake as the recipe “most associated with the bake-off” and as its most-requested recipe of all time.
