MORRIS – When I first interviewed for my position with the Morris Downtown Development Partnership, I learned the organization served as a partnership between downtown businesses, property owners and the City of Morris.

In the seven-plus years I have worked for the MDDP, I have seen the value of working with these partners, as well as collaborating with many others.

At this time of the year I am busy planning for three of our major events: the Gus Macker Three-on-Three Basketball Tournament, the new Liberty Arts Festival and the Liberty 5k Run/Walk.

Although these events would not be possible without the support of the city of Morris and our downtown business and property owners, the involvement of other local organizations has greatly enhanced these events.

Gus Macker-Morris is only a few weeks away. I have often told our sponsors and volunteers the tournament would not be possible with-

COMMUNITY PULSE JULIE APPLEGATE out their support and that remains true.

However, many other organizations get involved with this event and contribute to its success.

The Eagles allow us the use of their hall, Morris police provide extra security, Morris Color Guard presents the colors at our Opening Ceremony, local schools and businesses help promote the event and other local businesses and individuals allow us to use their equipment or donate food.

Only a few weeks after Gus Macker, the Liberty Arts Festival will be coming to downtown Morris. I am excited to see so many local organizations getting involved with this new event!

The Morris Retail Association has planned for decorated chairs on the downtown streets with a chair auction at

LOOKING UP

the conclusion of the festival.

Additionally, many downtown businesses will have art-related activities of their own. Many other organization are planning activities during the festival, including the Grundy County Historical Society, Morris Area Public Library, Morris Theatre Guild, Grundy County Chamber of Commerce, Patriots 4 Heroes, Habitat for Humanity, Small Town Theatrics as well as numerous local artists, musicians and dancers.

On July 3 the MDDP will partner with the Grundy County Farm Bureau to bring the sixth annual Liberty 5K Run/Walk to downtown Morris. As this event benefits military personnel, local organizations such as Patriots 4 Heroes, American Legion Riders, Team RWB, Morris Color Guard and the Marines are happy to participate.

Additionally, the local Experimental Aircraft Association chapter will likely conduct a flyover as the run begins, and the Morris Community High School Band will play at the finish line. We

also are fortunate to have the support of our local public safety organizations to assure that the event runs smoothly and safely.

Yes, planning for three events in less than a month is more than hectic, but by collaborating with other local organizations we are not only able to enhance our downtown, but bring a greater awareness of these wonderful organizations.

If you or your organization would like to get involved, please call 815-941-0245 or email mddp@downtownmorris.com.

Specific information about our events can be found at www.downtownmorris.com.

Pavlis: ‘Let our futures begin!’

By BOB BLACK Shaw Media correspondent COAL CITY – As Carly Pavlis pondered her four years at Coal City High School, she came to a conclusion: It was the people who surrounded her who provided the most influence in shaping her life.

She said initially, when considering what to include as important contributions of her high school education, the first things that came to mind was what she learned in the classroom. But upon reflection, Pavlis said it became clear that textbooks were not the most significant factors that affected her future.

“The greatest lessons influencing my maturity, decision-making and attitude came from people who provided thoughtful leadership and a good example,” Pavlis said in her valedictorian address at Sunday afternoon’s graduation ceremony. “Administrators, teachers, parents, coaches and classmates have taught me irreplaceable life lessons that extend beyond factual information.”

The other students to address the crowd were James Naples (senior class president), Jackson Riley (co-salu-

Continued from page 3 Kent Bugg said it has been a pleasure to watch the Class of 2015 grow into incredible young men and woman. “Not only have they excelled in the classroom, but I have watched them become leaders in many different extra- and co-curricular activities. I know they will be very successful in the future,�

Bugg said prior to the ceremony.

Coal City Principal Mitch Hamann also had high praise for the graduates in his address. He noted the class had special meaning for him as they started high school the year he was hired as administrator. “They have exceeded my expectations because I have

watched them grow as leaders throughout the school, in the classroom, in the athletic arena and through a variety of extracurricular activities,� he said. “They are a class which has learned to grow together and care for each other. They have experienced the highs of winning championships and trophies to the low of losing a fellow classmate and friend.

He said the class brought pride to the school by excelling in the classroom, attaining successes in athletics and achieving many accomplishments throughout a variety of academic teams, clubs and organizations. “Coaler Pride defines the Class of 2015 and all of its accomplishments,� Hamann added.

The excitement of the day’s events was evident from the seniors prior to the ceremony.

“I’m excited and I’m ready to start college,� said Joe Kroeger, who plans on studying accounting. “I will be going to JJC [Joliet Junior College] and then transfer [to a fouryear school].� “I’m excited to move on,� said Patience Burton, whose goal is to study zoology at Southern Illinois University.

Peyton Cloe said she was “really excited� to graduate.

She noted she will go to JJC before transferring to Olivet University, majoring in elementary education.

She agreed that high school went by very fast, adding “it felt like it was just one year.� “It is my hope that all my classmates benefited from their high school years as much as I did,� Pavlis concluded in her valedictory address. “So with that said, let our futures begin!�

Council to vote on public works purchases

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – If Morris City Council approves two recommendations Monday night, Morris Public Works will see two new pieces of machinery soon.

The Street and Alley Committee made recommendations Thursday to council for the purchase of a new dump truck and a new woodchipper, Mayor Richard Kopczick said Friday.

The dump truck is a 2015 Ford F350 V8 4x4 with a V-plow, trailer hitch and 11foot dump body.

With all modifications included, the total cost comes to $43,947.32 as quoted by Greenway Auto Group.

The committee also recom-

mended the purchase of a 2015 Vermeer BC1500 Brush Chipper with a turbocharged diesel engine at a total of $54,325.00, quoted by Vermeer Sales and Service of Central Illinois, Inc. The city budgeted for the purchases in the 2015-16 fiscal budget. The purchase of a new street sweeper will be discussed at a future meeting.

The Street and Alley Committee made a recommendation to city council to amend an ordinance, adding that westbound and eastbound traffic on Route 6 between the west fork of the Nettle Creek Bridge and Route 47 will be a no excessive engine-braking zone.

Kopczick said if approved by council, the city will have to seek approval from the Illinois Department of Transportation before placing signs

along the road.

In license news, representatives from Holiday Inn will appear Monday before the Morris Judiciary and License Committee, seeking a Class E liquor license to sell beer and wine to guests. Representatives spoke to the committee

at the meeting two weeks ago to discuss the possibility of the license.

They stated they wished to remain competitive with nearby hotels after customers mentioned they’d like to be able to purchase beer and wine without leaving the hotel when in

town for business.

A Finance and Administration Committee meeting scheduled for Friday morning was moved to Monday at 6:30 p.m., prior to city council, due to a scheduling conflict. The committee plans to discuss donations.

PADS thanks volunteers at yearly breakfast

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent COAL CITY – Homelessness does not discriminate. Due to life changing events such as job loss, divorce or mental illness, anyone can be caught in this horrifying situation.

This is why, from September through April, Morris area churches open their doors to be a warm place to sleep and provide meals to the homeless, in conjunction with the Public Action to Deliver Sustenance ministry. Each night of the week, a specified church will open its doors from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. offering dinner, a warm bed and breakfast. This service is solely run by volunteers, doing four-hour shifts, to ensure the safety of those obtaining services, to lend a listening ear and give hope.

Saturday, the president of PADS, Brent Newman, Denise Gaska from We Care of Grundy County and the PADS board members, gathered to say thank you to the volunteers at the second annual PADS volunteer breakfast at the Berst Center of the Assumption Catholic Church in Coal City.

“It’s so very important to say thank you. These volunteers work tirelessly to keep the homeless warm, allow them a place to sleep and prepare food,” Newman said.

“How can you not say thank you?”

The breakfast was opened with a moment of prayer from the Rev. Robert Sathuri, from First United Methodist Church in Morris. The Rev. Sathuri’s wife, Teresa Sathuri, was the keynote speaker, sharing her experiences with being a volunteer and her involvement with PADS. The couple grew up in India, Teresa, growing up in the same village as Mother Teresa, working along side her as a teenager. Teresa’s mother always told her to sacrifice to help others.

“I grew up in India and saw the poor, and the street children. I came to America and noticed people with backpacks and that was all that they owned, Teresa said. “I thought to myself, how can there be poor people in such a great land? How can a land that grows so much food, have starving people?”

The Sathuris have had ministries near Chicago and began working with PADS there, and began volunteering with the Grundy County PADS, when they were transferred to First United Methodist in Morris, in August.

Several awards were given to those who serve the PADS ministry on a regular basis.

Two community businesses received awards for their service to PADS. The Outstanding Service award was given to Morris Hospital, with Jeff Cole and Nancy Stewart accepting, and the Outstanding Kindness award went to Phil Jass and staff at the Grundy County Health Department.

The Outstanding Hospitality award went to Morris couple Cathy and Gordon Milne, who were instrumental in creating the “radical hospitality” policy the Grundy Area PADS put into motion. Newman said this policy makes the hospitality shown at the church sites

go above and beyond what is expected. Peace Lutheran Church also was awarded this honor. Three volunteers who have been with the program from its inception were given the Outstanding Contribution award. Todd Thomson, Gayle Green and Millie Dyer, were this year’s recipients. Green and Dyer spoke about the ex-

perience, this being their last year to serve.

Green of First United Methodist church said once she was aware of the problem she began “seeing” the problem.

“I began seeing homeless I never noticed before living under bridges, at McDonald’s, and around town,” Green said.

These people are trying to get

their lives back together and so many have problems with job loss, domestic issues, drugs and so on and it’s hard to keep a job like that.”

With the opening only a few short months away, Newman said if anyone is interested in helping with PADS to go to grundypads.org for information.

SPRINGFIELD – State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, is asking Illinois lawmakers to make freezing property taxes a top priority for families and businesses.

“No matter what community I visit in the 38th Senate District, a common concern of families and businesses is, ‘our property tax rates just keep going higher and higher, and it’s really hurting us,’” Rezin said in a news release.

“Freezing property tax rates will go a long way in boosting our economy, while helping working families with some much-needed relief for their own budgets.”

Rezin says any action could include an exemption for communities where local voters approve a referendum, according to a news release.

According to a recent study from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, Illinois has the

second highest property taxes in the country, behind only New Jersey. Illinois was found to have 17 counties ranked in the top 100 counties nationally for median property tax rates, including several local counties in the 38th District: • Kendall County: median effective property tax rate of 2.53 percent (16th nationally) • Will County: median effective property tax rate of 2.31 percent (33rd nationally) • LaSalle County: median effective property tax rate of 2.23 percent (41st nationally) Rezin said in the release that all too often, neighboring states are attracting companies and residents, when it should be Illinois where people want to move and start a business. She points to the lower property taxes in those states as one of the reasons.

The average homeowner in Illinois had a property tax bill of $4,469 in 2012, according to the study.

That is 26 percent higher than Wisconsin, 86 percent higher than Iowa and 90 percent higher than Michigan.

Illinois’ property tax rate, and Illinois’ property tax bills, are both higher than all of our neighboring states, according to the study.

“Putting a cap on any tax gives companies some assurance and some certainty that Illinois is serious about keeping and recruiting business here,” John Greuling, president and CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development, said in the release.

In a recent teleforum, Rezin asked a poll question regarding property taxes. Answering that question, 71 percent of participants supported a property tax freeze.

Of that, 36 percent said to freeze property taxes statewide and 35 percent said to freeze property taxes unless voters approve an increase, according to the news release.

BRIEF Local banks donate prizes to Reality Store event

SENECA – Every year Seneca High School hosts an event called the Reality Store. All sophomore students participate in the Reality Store to learn about the costs of living. Students get a “paycheck” with fake money in it, and using the money, the students have the chance to spend one month’s salary on the necessities of life including housing, utilities, transportation, insurance, groceries, entertainment, clothing, and more, according to a news release from the high school.

Besides Seneca High School, the event is made possible by Mazon State Bank, and the First

Detroit R&B singer Ortheia Barnes-Kennerly dead at 70 The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – Detroit R&B and jazz singer Ortheia Barnes-Kennerly, who opened for Motown greats like Stevie Wonder and later entered the ministry, has died. She was 70.

Barnes-Kennerly died Friday in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where she went for a performance, friend and bass player Ralphe Armstrong told the Detroit Free Press.

He said she had at least two strokes in recent years and died of heart failure.

Barnes-Kennerly recorded in the 1960s for Detroit’s Mickay Records and Coral Records,

cluding Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Gladys Knight.

If Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul, “Ortheia was the empress,” Armstrong said. She later turned her career toward speaking and the ministry. Barnes-Kennerly told the Free Press in 1990 that she never lamented the lack of national success in her music career.

“I love doing my music, but mostly I love making people feel good,” she said. “The music has been good to me.

A suburban Detroit congresswoman said the world has lost “a gentle and kind spirit.”

“Ortheia Barnes’ love for all people could be felt in her music, in her ministry work, and in her support of all of Detroit,” U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Mich., said in a statement. “Whether you knew her through her music, through her ministry, or through her friendship, you were blessed.”

Her funeral is scheduled for May 26 at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit, Swanson Funeral Home told The Associated Press.

Highlight your individuality by attending interesting social events or activities in order to meet someone who has something provocative to offer.

SOFTBALL: MORRIS 6, BEECHER 5

Morris rallies to score win over Beecher

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Playing a quality team late in the regular season is usually a good way for a team to prepare for the postseason.

The Morris softball team did just that Saturday, when they took on Beecher, one of the top clubs in the state in Class 2A. The Redskins (21-7) had to come up with a rally or two, but they were able to defeat Beecher, 6-5.

“The girls came to play today,” Morris coach Jen Lowery said. “Sometimes that’s hard to do on a Saturday because they are out of their daily routine, but the girls knew Beecher would be good and they would have to play well.”

The Redskins took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second.

Beecher pitcher Salem Garza had retired the first five Morris hitters, but winning pitcher Abby Burns helped her own cause with two outs in the second by slugging a double to left. Taya Torkelson followed with a single to right to make it 1-0.

Burns, meanwhile, retired the first six Beecher batters, but the Bobcats’ offense exploded in the top of the third.

Margaret Hanley led off by reaching second on an error and went to third on a single

by Savannah Stluka. Stluka then stole second before Madison Bainbridge doubled to bring in both runners and put Beecher ahead 2-1. A single by Alexis Abbate brought home Bainbridge to make it 3-1. An

The Redskins began their comeback in the bottom of the third. With one out, Janelle Brehm, who finished with three hits, slugged a solo home run to left-center to make it 5-2.

Jasmine Cook then doubled to left. Emily Moore reached on a fielder’s choice and, an out later, Leah Lines singled through the middle to score Cook to cut the Beecher lead to 5-3.

“We have three tough games in a week, starting with this one against Beecher. Then we play Joliet Central and Minooka. We’ve beaten all the teams in our regional, but it’s hard to beat a team twice. It

Native plants of Illinois are varied and that’s a good thing.

They’re able to accommodate the climate as well as the wide variety of landscapes found throughout the state. They seem to be ideal for the soil and weather conditions and with so many to select from, you can find the right ones for your landscape.

Unfortunately there are some misconceptions regarding native plants. Many believe they’re the type of plant that can only run wildly. The belief that adding such native plants to a garden would lead to them taking over your garden isn’t true. There are a lot of factors at hand here, including the type and size of the garden, type of native plants being used and location for planting.

Adding native plants to your garden can be the perfect complement to your existing plants and with many options available, you’re certain to find the right one. But, how do you find it? How do you know

it’s the one? You might like the way a plant looks when you first see it, but you likely don’t know much about it.

That’s why it makes the most sense to visit the friendly staff at That Perennial Place in Morris. This family-owned business will help meet your gardening needs. Visit their convenient location at 1565 W. U.S. Route 6 in Morris.

They can answer your questions about native plants and many other things related to landscaping and gardening.

OPINION

17 Morris Herald-News / MorrisHerald-News.com • Monday, May 18, 2015

GOP better get used to 2016 field

“As long as you’ve got enough money for gas, you can stay in the race,” says one veteran Iowa Republican operative of the sprawling 2016 presidential field.

Yes, there are tons of stories in the press about this or that candidate raising zillions of dollars.

But the truth is, a lot of Republican hopefuls – an unprecedented number – will have the wherewithal to run at least bare-bones campaigns for many months to come.

And some of them could help shape the race and its top issues, even if they never climb into the top tier.

Perhaps a single candidate will break out with a big lead by the beginning of fall. But it’s more likely that won’t happen, which could lead to a series of results in the early 2016 contests that seem less than conclusive. If a losing candidate has enough money for gas – especially if he’s getting a SuperPAC boost – why pull out when the winner only got 18 percent of the vote?

Likewise, Romney won the New Hampshire primary with 39.3 percent of the vote. This time, “It looks to me like 25 percent could win New Hampshire – maybe 22 percent,” notes the strategist.

Right now, there are 14 candidates in the GOP field currently being measured by the RealClearPolitics average of polls: Bush, Rubio, Walker, Paul, Cruz, Huckabee, Christie, Carson, Perry, Kasich, Santorum, Graham, Jindal and Fiorina, in order of their current standing in national surveys. There are still others not in the average. Donald Trump, for example, is not in the average but is polling at 5 percent in the new WMUR Granite State poll of New Hampshire – ahead of nine

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Byron York candidates who are in the average. Then there are John Bolton, George Pataki and others who are showing up at Republican campaign events.

There’s been a lot of discussion, publicly and behind the scenes, about how to conduct a debate with such a large field. The biggest Republican debate in the 2012 primary season was nine candidates; there were 10 GOP candidates in a few 2008 debates. There were eight Democrats in a 2008 debates, and nine in some 2004 showdowns. But no one has ever gotten near the number of GOP candidates today.

It’s generally assumed that a debate field of, say, 15 candidates would be far too large to handle in the traditional format. But organizers might go ahead and do it anyway, because the alternative – cutting some candidates out before anyone has even gotten a chance to speak to the debate audiences – would not sit well with a lot of Republicans. Why not just have a really long debate – there’s no reason it has to be limited to 90 minutes or two hours – and give everyone his or her say?

“If they have any sense, they will start out with debates that are too big and try to winnow them out over the fall,” says a second operative.

The point is, there are a lot of smart candidates in the field. They are most likely going to be in the race for some time. Of course they should be part of the conversation.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Is it safety first or a favorable lie?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Louis Nizer, a noted trial lawyer who died in 1994, said, “I know of no higher fortitude than stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds.”

At the bridge table, you hope not to face overwhelming odds against making your contract. (If you do, presumably partner overbid!) But it helps to know some common odds.

If you are missing five trumps, the a priori odds of a 3-2 split are 67.8 percent, and 28.3 percent for 4-1. It is nice to find a line of play that will accommodate a 4-1 split, but if while trying to do that, you go down when the trumps are 3-2 all along, you will look pretty silly.

In this deal, should South, in four spades, worry about 4-1 trumps?

West starts off with two high hearts.

The original declarer ruffed the second trick, played a spade to dummy’s king, and returned a spade to his jack. However, West won with the queen and led another heart, forcing South to ruff with his penultimate trump. Declarer crossed to the dummy with a diamond and ran the club 10, but West won that trick and led his heart 10 to kill the contract.

South would have been making the winning play if East had queenfourth of trumps, but declarer went down although trumps were 3-2.

South should have led a diamond to the king at trick three, then taken the club finesse. West would have won and played a third high heart, but declarer could have ruffed, drawn two rounds of trumps, and played on clubs to get home.

When the defenders threaten to make you ruff a lot, establish your side suit first.

These hints should help with putting in eye drops Dear Doctor K: I have dry eye syndrome. My doctor prescribed artificial tears, but I can’t manage to get the drops into my eyes. Any advice?

Dear Reader: Dry eye syndrome occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough tears.

Tears moisten, protect and cleanse our eyes.

Without enough tears, your eyes may burn, itch, or feel like there is something gritty in them.

Dry eye syndrome can also increase your sensitivity to light and cause excessive tears.

Dry eye syndrome is often effectively treated with artificial tears. Available over the counter, they mimic the composition of natural tears.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Of course, they work only if you can get them into your eyes. Like you, many people need to learn how to do it.

Following is the correct way to put in eye drops. (I’ve put photos of this process on my website, AskDoctorK. com.)

(1) Wash your hands.

(2) Tilt your head back while standing, sitting or lying down. With your index finger, pull your lower eyelid gently downward. This causes your lower eyelid to form a pocket.

(3) Let the drop fall into the pocket without touching the bottle to your eye or eyelid.

If the tip of the bottle touches your eye or eyelid, it can spread germs.

(4) Slowly let go of the lower lid.

(5) Close your eyes, but try not to blink, squint or shut them too tightly. Any of these could push the drops out of your eyes.

(6) Wipe unabsorbed drops and tears from the closed lids with a tissue.

(7) If you are putting in more than one drop, wait at least five minutes before putting in the next drop.

Here are a few additional suggestions I give to my patients who have trouble with

eye drops: • If you have a strong blink reflex, lie flat on your back.

Put a drop outside the lid of your closed eye and near your nose. Then open your eye, tilt your head slightly, and the drop will roll into the eye.

• If your hands are shaky, try approaching your eye from the side. That way, you can rest your hand on your face to help steady your hand. You can also try putting a wrist weight of 1 to 2 pounds on the hand you’re using. The weight will reduce mild shaking.

If you still have trouble inserting the eye drops yourself, see if someone you live and/ or work with can help. If you tilt your head back and pull down the lower lid to form

the pouch, the other person should have no trouble aiming the drop of artificial tears right onto your eye. It’s usually easier for another person to aim accurately than for you to do so.

Finally, you can purchase an assistive device from a medical supply store to help you put in eye drops.

One such device holds the eyelid open and helps direct the drops into the eye.

Most people can learn how to administer their eye drops successfully. You should be able to do so, too.
