History tells me to wait and see on the Cubs It was one of those rare nights Monday when I was able to just kick back and enjoy some sports on TV. The NCAA men’s basketball championship was on, and it was Opening Day for most teams in Major League Baseball, including the Cubs and White Sox. The basketball game was outstanding, with Villanova winning on a buzzer-beating three-pointer after North Carolina had capped a late 10-point comeback by hitting a dramatic, acrobatic three-pointer of its own with just under 5 seconds left to tie the game.

My own brackets had been busted since Day 1, as I picked Michigan State to win it all and they lost in the first round to Middle Tennessee State.

Which leads me to baseball, which will always be my first love as far as sports go. And, from there, to the Cubs, my team from the start.

No fair weather, bandwagon-jumping fan here. I was born in July 1969, so I was alive when they fell victim to the Miracle Mets finish of that season and have been around for every disappointment since. I suffered through the Herman Franks era

VIEWS Rob Oesterle and such immortals as Barry Foote, Joe Wallis, Bill Bonham and Ray Burris.

I remember the excitement of 1984, even though I was on a playing field in Peoria the day of the famous Ryne Sandberg game. We kept getting reports from parents listening on the radio, though, and couldn’t wait to watch the news that night. I remember Rick Sutcliffe striking out Joe Orsulak in Pittsburgh to clinch the division title, and I also remember Steve Garvey homering off Lee Smith in San Diego.

I remember 1998, in all of its Sammy Sosa vs. Mark McGwire glory. I watched the 20-strikeout game of Kerry Wood as it happened.

I remember five years later, when Wood and Mark Prior were going to save us from our years of frustration, only to have Alex Gonzalez add to them by not

LOOKING UP

being able to field a double-play grounder. I remember that Dusty Baker wasn’t the answer, so in came Lou Piniella.

Turns out he wasn’t the answer, either, so we got to suffer through Mike Quade, Dale Sveum and Rick Renteria.

Now, it’s Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer bringing in Joe Maddon and a group of talented kids. It seems like it should work this time.

But, I am too jaded by too many disappointments. I will temper my enthusiasm for this season. I was happy to see the Cubs win their opener. And, if they can continue to average a run an inning, they will have a nice season.

But an injury to Jake Arrieta or the league figuring out how to pitch to Babe Schwarber or maybe even a move or two

by Joe Maddon not turning to gold and the Cubs may not even make the playoffs.

If they do win, I will be as happy as the next guy. But age and history keep me from believing it until I see it.

Some waited overnight for free wings, grand opening in Morris

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Nine months of anticipation culminated Monday morning with the grand opening of Buffalo Wild Wings in Morris.

More than 100 wing-lovers braved the wind, temperatures in the 30s and an overcast sky for the chance to win free wings for a year.

The doors to the new restaurant opened at 10 a.m., but the main attraction for most was the free wings.

The first 100 people in the door received a coupon book of vouchers for a free snack-size order of wings redeemable once per week for 52 weeks.

Some, such as Joe Faletti and his grandson Keegan Clampitt, both of Coal City, were waiting as of 10 p.m.

Sunday.

They downplayed how serious the event was, but when they heard about the promotion, they decided to give it a shot.

“We thought, ‘What the heck, let’s do it,’ ” Faletti said. “It’s something to cherish with your grandson forever.”

They were two of a handful of people who brought folding chairs, while others brought blankets and some even snuggled on the cement under the extended roof of the building, which was once an Aldi supermarket.

Store managers handed out, every 15 or 20 minutes, wing trays to each person waiting. Whether someone earned free wings was determined by the number of stickers he or she collected. As of 8 a.m., Faletti, Clampitt and others were in the lead with eight stickers.

“If you have eight stickers, you have the best chance of getting free wings, if you have one or two, you

Tony Presbitero said he began driving by the restaurant – located on Sycamore Drive next to Big R – about 7 p.m. Sunday night. He’s from Orland Park, but his girlfriend is from Morris.

Presbitero said he came back every hour until he saw Faletti and Clampitt in line and decided to set

“I’d still come [without the free wings],” Presbitero said. “You know what you’re getting when you come to

Buffalo Wild Wings no matter which one you go to – the atmosphere, the food’s good and you know it’s going to taste the same at each one.”

Presbitero said he was going to place an order of boneless Asian zing wings once he reached a table. The coupon book amounts to about a $400 value, Faletti said.

Wild West Fest to raise money for pediatrics If you go

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After a one-year hiatus, the Morris Hospital Auxiliary’s Wild West Fest has returned for its second installment.

Cowboys and cowgirls are invited April 16 to saddle up and ride into the Dollinger Family Farm in Channahon for a night of western-themed fun. All proceeds will benefit the pediatric department of Morris Hospital.

Morris Hospital Auxiliary Development Officer Hannah Wehrle explained that despite a scheduling conflict in 2015, Wild West Fest will be held in the summer going forward. The organization’s trio of fundraisers will have designated times of year set up for coming years.

Unlike most fundraisers, the Wild West Fest is a relaxed, outdoor environment. As described in the event flier, guests are asked to “wear suitable attire and shoes for the farm,” rather than dressing to impress.

“It’s really casual,” Wehrle said.

“There’s no formal program. You can wear jeans, cowboy boots and hats.

We’ll have raffles, live music, bean bags, hay rides, line dancing and more.”

Funds raised at the fest could be used, Wehrle said, for a few different items. The first is a pediatric vein finder that helps clinical teams locate and access the pediatric patient’s vein on the first attempt.

Another possibility is a fetal telemetry monitor, which monitors a baby’s

WEEK IN REVIEW

State Sen. Sue Rezin moves to new district office

JJC spring enrollment continues to steadily drop

JOLIET – Joliet Junior College spring enrollment numbers continue to decline – but online enrollment has more than doubled.

Joseph Offermann, JJC Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness director, last week updated the Board of Trustees, showing the college ranks fifth among all Illinois community colleges in headcount and full-time equivalent enrollment.

The spring headcount for JJC is 14,442, a 9.1 percent decrease from spring 2015 and the full-time equivalent – reflecting a full-time class load for students – is 8,050, a 7.1 percent decrease from last spring.

Both headcount and full-time equivalent enrollment continue to decline as JJC comes off what Offermann said were banner years in enrollment, which were between 2009 and 2013.

Online enrollment more than doubled since 2007 by 107.3 percent, according to Offermann’s presentation.

Body found in Wilmington motel room identified

WILMINGTON – The man whose decomposing body was found last week in a Wilmington motel room has been identified.

Michael J. Bradley, 44, had been living at the Van Duyne Motel, 107 Bridge St., for a short time, Wilmington Police Chief Phillip Arnold said March 29.

Bob Jandura, the manager of the motel, discovered Bradley’s body after employees noticed a strong odor coming from the room, according to police reports.

Jandura said Bradley had rented the room at a monthly rate and had moved in about a month ago. Daily housekeeping is not done on rooms rented at a monthly rate.

Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil said an autopsy was performed, and the manner of Bradley’s death will remain under investigation until toxicology results come in. There are no indications of foul play.

Arnold said Bradley was last reported seen leaving work on the morning of March 18.

State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, has moved her district office to the old Westclox factory, a former manufacturer of clocks in Peru. At one time, the Westclox factory employed about 4,000 people. It closed its doors in the 1980s and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The new district office address is 350 5th St., Suite 264, Peru. The phone number is 815-220-8720 or email senatorrezin@gmail.com. Rezin’s district includes most of Grundy County. “Once I learned there were efforts to revitalize the Westclox factory and turn it into some office space, I knew I wanted my district office there,” Rezin said in a news release.

“It’s going to be really neat to work inside a building with so much history, unique architecture, and incredible stories, especially a building that had such a tremendous impact on the LaSalle–Peru area.”

JJC officials propose aiding students of graduates

JOLIET – Joliet Junior College officials are recommending starting a legacy program that would give financial assistance to students of JJC graduates.

Yolanda Isaacs, vice president of Student Development, proposed at the March 29 Board of Trustees workshop creating a legacy program that would potentially be the first community college to implement such an initiative.

Under the proposal, financial assistance would be given to students who are the son, daughter, stepson, stepdaughter or legal dependent of a JJC graduate who earned an associate’s degree.

Students would have to be enrolled full time and reside in the JJC district, which includes Grundy County.

Students would be offered up to $400 a semester for a maximum of three consecutive semesters.

Exelon station grant gives local emergency agency equipment

BRAIDWOOD – A donation by Exelon’s Braidwood Station means Braidwood’s Emergency Services and Disaster Agency will no longer have to share equipment with the city’s fire department, according to a news release from the station.

The tools and equipment they need will be at their disposal for use during both emergency and non-emergency situations.

Braidwood ESDA has been operating for a number of years, but the group has had to rely on the availability of the Braidwood Fire Department’s tools and equipment. In emergencies, the equipment has not always been available. A $4,000 grant from Exelon is helping meet that need.

Braidwood ESDA provides assistance with traffic control and direction during incidents such as fire scenes, accidents and roadway obstructions, as well as during planned events such as parades or 5K runs. The group, which includes weather spotters, also responds to disaster incidents and coordinates the city’s emergency operations center.

Funk takes top cop spot for second straight year

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris Police Chief Brent Dite announced at Monday night’s Morris City Council meeting that Officer Patrick Funk was chosen for the second year as “Officer of the Year” after being nominated by administrative staff at the police department.

“In addition to being named Officer of the Year, The American Police Hall of Fame, Patrick through their Nation- Funk al Awards Program, has issued Officer Patrick Funk the Knights of Justice Award,” Dite said.

“As the staff of the American Police Hall of Fame noted in their letter to Officer Funk, and I quote, ‘Your commitment to serving the public by performing good deeds is proof of your dedication to help the law enforcement profession and your community. You set an admirable example for all to follow.’”

Funk, a Morris Community High School graduate, was hired by the Morris Police Department in June 2013 after working as a police officer

at the Normal Police Department.

“It’s awesome to receive the award. I’m very humbled that the administration, sergeants and peers would nominate me,” Funk said after the meeting. “I’ve always loved Morris, it’s a place I care about and when I got the opportunity to work here, I would have been crazy to turn it away.”

Dite also recognized Detectives Doris Noll and Paul Burke and presented them the Criminal Investigation Award from the American Police Hall of Fame National Awards Program.

Noll has been with the department since 2002, Burke joined in 2008.

Dite said while the two have investigated many cases, they were involved in a number of noteworthy cases that resulted in the arrest and successful prosecution of offenders, which led to them getting the award.

He said they were key in the recovery of more than $34,000 of currency from a burglary to a local liquor store, and the recovery of more than $43,000 from a felony theft from a commercial business. They also were key in arrests made for multiple residential burglaries, arson to multiple motor vehicles and arson to

Also receiving awards Saturday were Patty Gray of Ottawa for dance; Dieken Family Foundation of Streator and Blouke and Marianne Carus of LaSalle for patron of the arts; Michael Pecherek of LaSalle and John Armstrong of Utica for music; Robert Manahan of LaSalle and Roger Amm of Ottawa for lifetime achievement; Tom Sistak of Ottawa and David Raccuglia of Ottawa for visual arts; and Joe Ennenbach of Peru and Greg Tullis of Streator for drama.

Donna Mueller, owner of Donna Mueller’s School of Dance, cheers as she sees her surprise guests – dancers from her school, at the Omni Honors Awards Gala on Saturday night in LaSalle.

As Mueller finished listening to a presentation by “Dance School Nana” Debbie Olsen, six of her dancers entered the dance floor in their floorlength red dresses to perform for their teacher and the audience.

Mueller erupted in cheers, having said before the event that she’d rather

her girls get to perform than give her acceptance speech.

OmniArts also recognized former Morris resident and current Ottawa artist Laurie Ragan for her work in visual arts.

Ragan has created art since she was a child, and has seen her work featured

in books, as well as murals on the walls of local establishments, such as Jennifer’s Garden in Morris.

“I read the letter three times and I couldn’t believe it,” Ragan said. “I’m truly honored and overwhelmed to be recognized with my fellow artists.”

Jankowski said OmniArts was created to provide financial support through grants to further the arts, music, dance, theater and visual arts. The awards were created to acknowledge local artists and were created by Ottawa blown glass artist Laura Johnson.

Last year OmniArts gave away $18,000 in grants to aid programs in need, Jankowski said.

MORRIS – When Bill Jankowski showed up at the Morris dance studio owned by Donna Mueller, he was turned away – twice – before getting past Donna Mueller School of Dance teacher Kristin Olsen.

Thankfully Jankowski, executive director of OmniArts in Starved Rock Country, didn’t give up easily.

On his third visit, he was able to tell Mueller that she had won the 2016 Omni Honors Award for dance.

“I nominated Donna because Mueller’s is about family,” Chastity Misener said. “The things she does for the girls is beyond just dance. The lessons are life lessons that go beyond four walls of a classroom.”

Olsen said she turned Jankowski away because Mueller prefers that her girls be in the limelight and is typically a private person, but Saturday night, Mueller attended the awards gala with two tables of supporters – biological family as well as dance families.

True to Mueller fashion though, the stage was stolen by her dancers. Each recipient was given a surprise, whether it be a student, a peer or a slideshow of his or her work.

In 2015, the Grundy County meal gap was 979,000 meals, Jaimes said.

About 551,000 meals, or 59 percent of the gap, were distributed through food pantries, youth programs, senior programs and direct distribution.

Fisher believes the next step toward closing the meal gap in Grundy County

could be the creation of the Pathways of Hope program, which will be funded by The Salvation Army. It aims to provide quality case management services for individuals in need. Ultimately, providing food is just a short-term solution.

Jaimes added that breaking the cycle of poverty is about more than

MORRIS – Minooka Mayor Pat Brennan toured We Care of Grundy County’s facility Tuesday as part of the National Mayors Day of Recognition for Service by the Corporation for National and Community Service.

While there, Brennan met with AmeriCorps VISTA member Giovani Jaimes, who is serving a one-year volunteer assignment with Northern Illinois Food Bank.

Jaimes provides “capacity building” consulting to community food pantries and feeding programs in Grundy, Kankakee, Kendall and Will counties, on behalf of the NIFB. There is a need to cure hunger in Grundy County, Jaimes said. Citing statistics in a Map the Meal Gap 2015 study, he said 20.8 percent of children in the county are considered food insecure.

“Hunger is a symptom of poverty,” Jaimes said. “A lot of it comes from whether someone can find consistent, substantial income.”

Fisher said We Care is doing what it can, along with other agencies in the county, to help break the cycle of poverty. When progress is made in lowering the poverty rate, progress will be

supplying food – it’s about providing opportunities for people to get out of a crisis situation.

According to SalvationArmy.org, Pathways of Hope assigns a caseworker to design a plan around one’s individual goals, needs and strengths. People can expect assistance with finding job training, health services, childcare, education, housing options and legal services.

Another big step was made when We Care expanded in January its food pantry services to the rest of Grundy County, Fisher said. Brennan said We Care has always done great things, but because of these latest steps and more to come, “it’s getting better and better.”

Tuesday was the second time Brennan has toured We Care’s building at 530 Bedford Road in Morris since it moved 13 months ago. In that short time, We Care has filled up more space but still has room to grow, as funding permits. Brennan was impressed with the 10-foot-by-20-foot walk-in freezer and refrigerator.

“That’s a really big deal,” Brennan said. “It’s a great addition.”

Fisher said the walk-in allows We Care to stock milk, which is the most difficult to secure because it is perishable, yet it’s the most requested item in food pantries.

Chapin, Deer Ridge parks in Morris slated for work “A couple of pieces need to be replaced. They are dated and we can no longer replace parts on the equipment.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – As the weather starts to warm up, the city of Morris is making plans to get to work on area parks.

Mayor Richard Kopczick said the city’s Park Committee has looked at replacing restroom facilities and some equipment at Chapin Park.

“A couple of pieces need to be replaced,” Kopczick said. “They are dated and we can no longer replace parts on the equipment.”

One of the pieces being replaced is a merry-go-round style ride with once bright horses for kids to ride on top, operated manually by parents or kids who often run in a circle getting it up to speed before letting go. The horses have been in the park for as long as the mayor can remember. In fact, he remembers playing on them as a kid.

“Over the years, we’ve had to remove equipment that is no longer offered for sale,” he said. “We will store the horses to use in other parks as similar equipment needs repairs.”

Another repair slated for this year is the replacement of the restroom facilities at Chapin Park.

Kopczick said the city will replace the existing building with a new split block

and three pieces of equipment is expected to be $80,000 to $90,000.

“A large part of the cost is the installation of the equipment,” he said. “For insurance, it needs to be a certified installer.”

He said the city is looking into getting public works staff certified to save on installation costs. In Deer Ridge Park, Phase III is set to start with the installation of seating, and an erosion control blanket on the sled hill.

Coal City Backpack Program gains tax-exempt status

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – When the Coal City Clothes Closet closed its doors in October 2014, there was concern in the community that its backpack program would dissolve as well.

But organization president Cherie Sieger, Sara Smith and Pam Carlton teamed up to lead the charge in feeding the 100 children each week the previous program provided for.

A year and a half after the closet ceased operations, the Coal City Backpack Program is now sending almost 150 bags of food home with Coal City District Unit 1 students every weekend.

The program sends food home each Friday throughout the school year with students in kindergarten through fifth grade who are in need, so they have food during the weekend. When school is in session, students can get meals through the free meals programs.

What may take the program to the next level, Sieger said, is its recent certification as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

“To be named a 501(c)3 is truly exciting,” Sieger said. “We can now apply for grants to support the program and

ter, Coal City Elementary School and the Coal City Intermediate School. The new certification opens more doors for the backpack program.

“We’d like to move up to include the middle school,” Sieger said. “Some kids there have no food, too.”

The group spends between $150 and $200 worth of donations on the contents of the backpacks.

They’re stuffed with – among other things – oatmeal packets, individual fruit cups, puddings, hot chocolate in the winter, juice boxes, raisins, and macaroni and cheese.

There’s no doubt, though, that more volunteers will be needed for the program to grow.

Sieger said the easiest way to get involved is by finding the Coal City Backpack Program on Facebook or emailing coalcitybackpack@gmail.com.

Monetary donations can be made to an account at Centruebank of Coal City, at 660 S. Broadway St. Food also can be donated at the Coal City Public Library and Coal City Village Hall. Sieger asked that it be peanut-free due to allergy risks.

The next packing event is set for 5:30 p.m. April 11 at Coal City Elementary School in a room that has been donated to use by the school, Sieger said.

main, the amount of which will depend on pending litigation and other variables.

The board also is considering raising fees for water cross-connection inspections.

Several older homes in the village use private well water, which is connected to the public water supply.

Public Works Director Ed Dolezal said the village contracts plumbing inspections of these pipes each year to ensure there is proper backflow prevention in place – a service for which the village pays $62.50 a residence, but charges residents $35.

A proposal trustees may vote on later this month would increase the annual fee residents pay from $35 to $100. The cost of any additional inspections needed could also rise, from $20 to $65.

After the meeting, Wagonblott said increasing or introducing other fees and fines is another possibility for helping generate new revenue.

Specifics haven’t been discussed officially yet, she said.

Staff is conscientious of spending as well, she added.

“We all work together here to make sure expenses are at a minimum,” she said. “We’re pretty thin as it is.”

Staffing cuts are currently not on the table.

CHANNAHON – Channahon village trustees on Monday unanimously approved adding 3 cents a gallon on fuel taxes to gasoline and diesel sold in the village in a move drivers could see at the pump as soon as June.

The increase in the excise tax will result in a total village fuel tax of 9 cents a gallon for diesel and 4 cents a gallon for all other motor fuels.

Village Administrator Tom Durkin said the increases will annually generate new revenue of about $540,000.

Trustees and village staff have been looking for new ways to add revenue and decrease spending in the 2016-17 fiscal year budget.

“There are some new fees and some increases in fines and fees,” Finance Director Heather Wagonblott said. “[The village] must be focused on generating new revenue.”

The village has lost millions of dollars with the elimination last year of Channahon’s rebate sales tax program due to Department of Revenue guidelines.

In 2014, the village received a gross $16.3 million from the sales tax rebate program and after rebating the agreed-upon amount to participating companies, kept 15 percent of that, or $2.4 million.

That money was used to pay debt obligations for Village Hall construction and other needs. Wagonblott is proposing using $1.14 million of the remaining money during the next fiscal year. The board is set to consider the budget April 18.

The figure is conservative, she said, but should the full $1.14 million be used, some rebate money will re-

Ashley Road businesses receive Internet boost

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Things are moving faster in the Ashley Road industrial zone of Morris.

Comcast, the digital cable, highspeed Internet and home phone service giant announced March 29 that it added more than 5 miles of fiber optic and coaxial cable network in the Ashley Road area northeast of the city’s center.

The investment gives 30 existing small- and medium-sized businesses some of the fastest Internet speeds available, at up to 10 gigabytes per second.

The upgrades were set in motion when area business owners worked to get a visit from Comcast, Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said. The representatives observed the sluggish Internet speeds and how many available lots are still left. Businesses owners are already seeing better productivity.

“The Internet speed and bandwidth Comcast offers vastly improve our ability to serve our customers,” Walttools Vice President Don Ciesieski said in a news release. “Before Comcast, we had to limit the number of employees who

could be on the Internet simultaneously. Now all of our employees can be online at the same time taking care of customers.”

Kopczick said business owners along Ashley Road were patient but promoted the need for improvements. He said the project took about six months.

“It was a fantastic job by Comcast from the design to implementation of the project,” Kopczick said.

Comcast paid for the infrastructure upgrade, which was tied into the existing Ashley Road easement that includes natural gas, electricity, phone, water and now, fiber optic capabilities. All parties involved agreed it helps existing businesses and may attract more.

Kopczick said for a long time, the area incorrectly showed up on GPS applications as a cornfield.

“This is one more tool a real estate agent can use when attracting potential buyers in that area,” Kopczick said.

Jay Dirkmaat, regional vice president of Comcast Business, said Comcast’s proactive builds and other efforts to expand its network and increase capacity have helped reach more businesses.

Nick Offerman spoofs Minooka on television’s ‘The Late Show’ National Volunteer Week

By KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – Comedian Nick Offerman, best known for his role as Ron Swanson on the NBC hit show “Parks and Recreation,” had a good time poking fun at his hometown of Minooka when he appeared Monday on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Colbert and Offerman Nick joked about Minooka Offerman during the “Community Calendar” segment, where the two bantered about several upcoming events pulled from the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce website.

They joked about a laser tag event and a laser comedy show at the Channahon and Minooka branches of the Three Rivers libraries, where Offerman’s sister Lauren Offerman, is the executive director. Nick Offerman said obstacles during laser tag include shelves, stacked books and people trying to read.

Lauren Offerman said her brother let her know Minooka was going to be mentioned on the show.

“We knew it was coming,” she said.

“It was really funny.”

Colbert and Nick Offerman also joked about an upcoming event, “Networking Business Cards.” Colbert reminded people to bring along little scraps of paper to write phone numbers on.

Christina Van Yperen, the chamber’s executive director, said featuring Minooka on “The Late Show” demonstrates how proud Offerman is of Minooka, and added that Minooka is proud of him.

Nothing was off limits for the comedic pair, but it was all in fun. They included the Minooka Police Department and Minooka Fire Protection District in the jokes, along with local restaurant The Shrimp Barn.

Minooka Mayor Pat Brennan also got a shoutout when Offerman commented on Wednesday’s State of the Village address, joking that Brennan will be updating everyone on “the deal with all the lasers at the library.”

Brennan said he was at a Lions Club meeting Monday when Lauren Offerman gave him the heads-up on the show.

“I laughed a lot,” Brennan said. “I thought it was a good spoof. Anytime we are mentioned, it’s a good thing.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – When disaster strikes, agencies dispatch volunteers, typically from throughout the state, to assist in necessary tasks.

The Salvation Army is looking for local volunteers who would like to train to be one of the responders who will assist at the scene of a disaster.

“I was in California when the tornado hit Washington [Illinois], where I grew up. I tried to call home and couldn’t reach anyone,” said Benny Benedict, assistant director of Emergency Disaster Services

Heartland Division of The Salvation Army. “I turned on the weather channel

and saw a snapshot. It was unrecognizable.”

Once he caught a plane home, Benedict walked into a church in his hometown and immediately got to work helping others. It was that experience that led him to his position with The Salvation Army, where he began training others to respond.

Benedict will be teaching two training classes April 15 and 16 at We Care of Grundy County for those interested in volunteering with The Salvation Army.

There will be a presentation and hands-on learning, as well as a chance to ask questions.

Benedict said the group responds to more than just tornadoes. Members also respond to fires, flooding, and any other state of emergency they can help with when asked by local agencies.

Those wishing to volunteer must attend both Introduction to Disaster Services and Safe from Harm, as well as submit their information for a background check. Once they have completed training and their background check is approved, they will receive a badge showing their volunteer status with The Salvation Army. The badge is needed to get into many disaster areas to help in the hours and days after a disaster.

24 Claims disputed between JJC ex-president, board

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The resignation and settlement agreement with former Joliet Junior College President Debra Daniels approved last week by the school’s board acknowledges disputed claims between the school and its ex-leader.

The agreement, which received a “yes” vote from all trustees present at the March 29 meeting, was passed in the wake of Daniels’ abrupt resignation March 18.

“The Parties expressly acknowledge that the consideration for this Agreement reflects a compromise of disputed claims and that said consideration is intended merely to avoid litigation with respect to said claims,” states the agreement – obtained by The Herald-News via a Freedom of Information Act request. “Nothing herein contained shall be construed as an admission of liability by either party.”

According to the agreement, dated March 21, the college will pay Daniels $196,270 in 12 monthly installments, beginning Friday, regardless of whether she takes a job elsewhere.

The school also will pay for Daniels’ health insurance benefits for a year.

Daniels will release any claims she may have had against the school regarding “alleged breaches of the

Contract” or anything else, the agreement stated, and JJC will release any claims against Daniels.

Both Daniels and the college also agree to keep the terms and content of the agreement confidential, the document states. Daniels stated in her resignation letter to board Chairman Robert Wunderlich that she resigned for “personal reasons.”

Wunderlich has said a recent college climate survey, for which about 25 JJC administrators were inter-

viewed about a range of topics, including personnel matters, “had a little bit to do with” Daniels leaving.

Daniels took over as president in 2012 and her contract was extended last year to 2018. Administrative Services Vice President Judy Mitchell is serving as interim president and is scheduled to be formally approved for the interim role at the board’s April 19 meeting.

Plans for a presidential search are underway.

Grundy Chamber offers a trip to Italy

Thanks to the “See your memories” feature on Facebook, I recently have been reminded of my honeymoon to Italy.

Every day for the last week, photos are appearing in my feed of our gondola ride in Venice, touring Florence and seeing The David, the stunning drive along the Amalfi Coast and the emotional visit to Pompeii witnessing the city frozen in time under ash.

My husband and I spent our mornings touring the latest city we arrived in, taking in the history, the legendary stories and the once-in-alifetime sights. My grandmother came over “on the boat” from Naples, so at every tour, as I learned something new about her country, I felt I learned a little more about her.

We then spent our afternoons and evenings in a different piazza eating things in our pasta and on our pizza that I never would have dared to at home; drinking homemade wines; and

VIEWS Christina Van Yperen people watching with such envy of the Italian lifestyle.

If the history and the sites weren’t enough, the food and wine alone are worth the trip. You’ll learn what Americanized Chicago pizza is like, and mozzarella cheese will never be the same for you. Of course, everything tastes, smells and looks better when you’re eating at a table on a street that is more than 600 years old.

And once you get a taste of real gelato, you’ll eat it at least twice a day.

We even ate it at the airport before our flight left Rome, the day we returned home.

Why this trip down memory lane?

Because if I learned anything from

this trip, it was to make sure I experience all this world has to offer every chance I get. This was not our first international trip, but it was the biggest and best – and worth every penny.

Because of how it changed me, I encourage everyone I encounter who is thinking of Italian travels to quit thinking about it and just do it. To make that decision a little bit easier, the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry has teamed up with Chamber Discoveries to offer a Pompeii & Amalfi trip.

The eight-day trip, which also has a Rome extension option, includes roundtrip airfare, accommodation at a first-class hotel, breakfast, transfers and sightseeing tours, full-day guided excursions to Positano, Ravello, Sorrento, Amalfi and Pompeii, a visit to a ceramics factory and participation in a demonstration, a pizza demonstration and tasting, Limoncello samplings and more.

The trip is available at a small discount right now if you book by April 15 for $2,399 a person. The trip leaves Oct. 20.

This new program offered by the Chamber is available to everyone, so gather a group of friends, family or co-workers and stop talking about how you always wanted to go to Italy – call us and get it booked. We do all the work of booking tickets, rooms and transportation. You save your energy so you can mangia (eat), bere (drink), and visitare le strade d’Italia (visit the streets of Italy).

For information, call events director Christine Mendez, and if you need more convincing, call me at 815-9420113, and we can look at my photos over pizza and wine – just to get you in the mood for an Italian adventure.

Harrington named Fire Starter of the Month at Morris Hospital SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Bridget Harrington was still in high school when she decided she wanted to pursue a career as a laboratory medical technologist.

Over the years, she has taken her love for science and the laboratory and combined it with her people and organizational skills to become a successful, multi-faceted, well-respected supervisor who helps make the Morris Hospital Laboratory an excellent place for staff to work and patients to receive care. Harrington, of Manhattan, was recognized as Morris Hospital’s March Fire Starter of the Month.

“Bridget can do it all,” Morris Hospital Laboratory director Kimberly Wolfer said. “She can manage staff schedules, serve as liaison to other departments, take the lead on projects, perform testing, and jump in and assist with patient care. And when all of that is done, you might find her helping with order entry, conducting staff education, or putting on a workshop. The contributions Bridget makes to the department are huge for us.”

Harrington came to Morris Hospital in 2002 as a medical technologist, where she spent most of her time running tests in the laboratory. When a brand-new phlebotomy supervisor position was added four years ago, Harrington decided to apply, even though

she had limited direct patient encounters. As it turns out, interacting with patients and supervising staff is a perfect fit for someone with Harrington’s skills and personality.

In her supervisory role, Harrington has made a commitment to spending time each morning in the hospital outpatient lab, where she is accessible to staff and doesn’t hesitate to interact directly with patients or even jump in to do a blood draw if needed.

Patient satisfaction has been one of Harrington’s biggest areas of focus in her supervisory role. That’s a big job considering she supervises seven laboratory draw sites and the phlebotomists typically have just 4 to 5 minutes to make an impression on patients.

“I love when the customer is happy, and I love looking at patient satisfaction results,” Harrington said.

“It’s very rewarding when patients say things like, ‘That was really fast,’ or ‘I enjoy coming here. That was the best stick I ever had.’”

In early civilizations, fire starters were the individuals who had the important job of keeping the flame alive.

As Fire Starter of the Month, Harrington received a Grundy County Chamber of Commerce gift certificate, a Morris Hospital logoed clothing item of her choice, a special “Fire Starter” Photo provided lapel pin, and a designated parking Bridget Harrington, a phlebotomy supervisor at the Morris Hospital, was chosen as Fire spot for the month.

Starter of the Month for April.

SPRINGFIELD – Cuba should become the 51st state.

That revelation was shared with me last week by a man who knows Cuba and U.S. politics well – former Illinois Gov. George Ryan.

“I can’t imagine why the people there wouldn’t want to become a part of the United States. The people there are really suffering. It’s only 90 miles off our shore. It just makes sense. And from a strategic sense it makes sense for us – it would keep other countries from putting their missiles there or establishing military bases.”

Sixteen years ago, I traveled to Cuba with Ryan to write about his efforts to normalize relations and trade between the two nations. I called him this past week to get his thoughts on President Barack Obama’s historic visit to that communist country.

“I think the president did absolutely the right thing in going there. I’m glad we now have diplomatic relations with Cuba, but now we need to get rid of that trade embargo. It’s hurting a lot of innocent people.”

Ryan was released from federal prison two-and-a-half years ago after serving five years on corruption charges.

During his time in office, Ryan made his share of mistakes, but he is a free man now who can express his own opinions. It’s worth noting that the idea of making a state out of Cuba is hardly a new one. At least three U.S. presidents during the 1800s attempted to purchase Cuba from Spain. Each failed.

Even the Confederate States of America viewed Cuba as a future state – if they were able to secede from the U.S. Regardless, Cubans are a proud, patriotic people.

I have trouble seeing them ever giving up their sovereignty to become a state as Ryan proposes. But the many Cubans I spoke with during my two trips to that island nation long for freedom from their nation’s communist regime.

It’s worth noting that during his 2000 visit to Cuba, Ryan pioneered normalizing relations between the two nations.

“Bill Clinton was president at the time. Officially they didn’t approve of our trip. But behind the scenes they were cheering us on,” Ryan said. “We

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller talked to someone with the administration every day.”

Someone who wasn’t cheering Ryan on was Vicki J. Huddleston, the diplomat who headed the American Interests section in Cuba.

“If the U.S. had diplomatic relations with Cuba then, she would have been our ambassador,” he said. “She was the ultimate ugly American. She prohibited the national anthem from being played when we arrived. She didn’t want any U.S. flags to be displayed. And she tried to get me to change the speech I gave at the University of Havana to one condemning [Fidel] Castro.”

Ryan refused to condemn Castro.

“I’m under no illusions about Castro. He’s a dictator. He’s killed people,” he said.

But he added that he failed to see how publicly condemning him would make for better relations between the two nations. During his trip, Ryan delivered $2 million in medicine, cleared the way for the Chicago Tribune to open a bureau in Havana and succeeded in getting Castro to allow more Catholic priests to work in the nation.

Those were hard-fought victories for compassion, a free press and free exercise of religion. But perhaps the ultimate diplomat on the 2000 trip to Cuba was Ryan’s late wife, Lura Lynn, who brought her Midwestern sensibilities.

She displayed warmth and charm with Fidel Castro by showing photos of her family.

Cuba is now ruled by Fidel Castro’s brother, Raul. This month Obama met with him and called for a “new beginning” for the United States and Cuba.

It’s important to remember the beginning of that “new beginning” may have started here in Illinois with George and Lura Lynn Ryan.

Living Water Church sponsors We Care’s Fill-the-Pantry “We do better together and can efficiently offer this timely assistance to our neighbors in the great community we call home.”

SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Living Water Church of the Nazarene sponsored the March 25 Fill-the Pantry for We Care and stocked the pantry shelves.

The March 25 event took place on Good Friday, which made for a great opportunity for church fellowship and mission work.

“Living Water’s DNA is to serve others with a servant’s heart,” said the Rev. Steve Cook of Living Water Church of the Nazarene. “This is very encouraging to our people to come alongside organizations like We Care who has a passion to serve the community. We do better together and can efficiently offer this timely assistance to our neighbors in the great community we call home.”

We Care would like to express its appreciation for Living Water Church of the Nazarene and other organizations involved in the Fill-the-Pantry.

We Care relies on help and support from Grundy County businesses, churches and organizations to provide help to Grundy residents in need.

Without support of organizations such as Living Water, We Care would not be

We Care has increased the delivery schedule from one food truck per month to two in order to meet the needs of struggling folks in Grundy County.

Since the pantry expansion began

in January, well over 50 new families from outside Morris have used the service.

The new building at 530 Bedford Road in Morris has afforded this opportunity and support from local corpora-

Upcoming Fill the Pantry sponsors include, Immaculate Conception School, United Meters, Inc. & Brandt Excavating, and Iron Dogs Motorcycle Club. We Care, 530 Bedford Road in Morris, is a local nonprofit agency that provides emergency assistance to Grundy County residents in the form of food, clothing, rent, utility and prescription assistance.

Kids of all ages attend Seneca Farm Toy Show and Auction

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent SENECA – It might be easy for one to assume that Saturday’s Seneca Farm Toy Show and Auction would be an event for children.

And while there were children there, it seemed to be the adults who were having the best time.

The show, in its 28th year and held at Seneca Township High School, had about 20 displays and 100 vendors who sold toy tractors, farm equipment, trucks and a lot more, as well as students selling products related to their projects.

Jack Cooke, of rural Marseilles, walked away with a shiny red model of an F-20 tractor.

“I used to own it,” he said of the real tractor. “It’s the first one my wife ever drove. ... I got a good deal on it.”

Cooke collects toy tractors identical to the machines that date back to the days when his grandfather went from horses to tractors. His purchase filled a gap in his collection.

Senior Peter Hogue, of Marseilles, showed his award-winning display of a large farm scene, complete with a corn crib, feeder, shed, grain leg,

beef operation, old dairy barn, silage, hay loft and even his own home, complete with a backyard garden with tomatoes, cabbage and rhubarb.

Hogue made some of the items in his display from kits and others from scratch.

“I wanted to make it like my farm,” he said.

He used his farm as the template, as well as neighbors’ farms and a tractor pull in memory of family friend Marshal Myre.

FFA, which used to stand for Future Farmers of America, is a way for students to develop career skills in the agricultural arena. Its teenage members take classes in subjects such as horticulture, horse judging and meat judging.

Seneca teacher and adviser Jeff Maierhofer said FFA is an opportunity for the students to do more than their ag projects. They learn communication skills, leadership and public speaking, as well.

Seniors Colleen Kinsella and Emily Hauch have worked the toy show for the past four years. Kinsella said it’s a three-day process preparing for the event. She said she particularly liked the antique pedal tractor with dump trailer someone donated for

“I’ve never seen one before,” she said.

Hauch said she’s not from a farm family, but after being in FFA, she’s decided to pursue a career in agricultural communications.

“It has a bigger impact than you think,” she said.

Other members displayed at the show included freshman A.J. Baker, who sold homemade candy, and freshman Dylan Applebee, who sold homemade soap.

Grundy, Will residents support Team Make a Difference Know more

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – More than 250 people gathered Saturday at Morris Country Club to support a nonprofit organization that aims to provide hope, healing and comfort for residents of Grundy and Will counties who are disabled, sick or terminally ill.

More than $36,000 (before expenses) were raised in six hours through corporate and personal sponsorship, raffle baskets and silent auction items at the third annual Team Make a Difference fundraiser.

“I want to do one fundraiser a year, and whether we make $5 or $25,000, we will help two families. We will make it work,” TMaD President Audra Crowther said.

TMaD began in 2013 with a vision to renovate a room for a person who was disabled, healing from an illness or terminally ill in which he or she could heal or spend the last days in the comfort of home. The group also takes family photos and provides the family/individual with a scrapbook of professional photos.

Since 2014 TMaD has taken on two weekend-long makeovers a year – one in the summer and one in the fall – for a person they call a “hero.” Money raised through its April fundraiser pay for

“Anytime someone wants to do something for someone else it’s fantastic. But these [TMaD volunteers] all have jobs

and busy lives, yet they take time out of their lives to help people,” event attendee Art Schultz of Joliet said.

Tickets were $30, and there also were more than 50 sponsors providing various levels of donations, with 25 of those new this year.

“We work hard to get companies in the area involved. It’s simple: The more funding we have the more we can do during these makeovers,” Crowther said. “People are finding out about us and I receive emails from people and businesses wanting to partner with us.

We still need to find someone to help us with plumbing and we need a carpet layer, however.”

Crowther said TMaD intends to branch out and offer two new services for the makeover recipients.

“Last fall we decorated the porch during the Bernickus makeover and the dad said that special touch meant a lot.

When there is an illness in the family, people don’t have time to decorate for the holidays,” Crowther said. “So, next year, Holiday D Lights out of Joliet will decorate our ‘heroes’ homes for Christmas.”

Another addition will be a “words of encouragement” mission where the heroes will receive monthly correspondence from volunteers who may not be able to do the physical work.

TRAGEDY TO TRIUMPHS Sudden loss of her father hasn’t slowed down Morris pitcher Abby Burns / 38

Burns endures tragedy, stands tall on diamond

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris pitcher Abby Burns and her teammates saw the end of last season come to an end a little sooner than they would have liked on June 2 in a 3-2 loss to Joliet Catholic Academy in the Class 3A Morris Sectional semifinal.

Less than a month later, that loss was the last thing on anyone’s mind when Burns’ father, Jerry, died unexpectedly in an automobile accident on June 29.

Losing a parent is tough for anyone.

To lose one when you are about to enter your junior year of high school, though, is, for most people, unimaginable.

For Abby, it was an especially tough pill to take. She was close with her father, and he was a fixture behind the home plate area any time she pitched at the Morris Community High School diamond.

To look back and not see that familiar face was going to take some getting used to.

And, for a while, it wasn’t something she was prepared to do.

Throughout the winter, the talk around the school and softball program was that she was not going to play softball this season. No one would have blamed her. Going through a loss and the grieving process is different for everyone.

As the season got closer, though, the thought of being without both her father and softball was a bit too much, and she decided to continue playing.

“The more I thought about it, the more I knew that my dad wouldn’t have wanted me to quit because of him,” Burns said. “He just wanted me to do what made me happy, and he wouldn’t have wanted me to quit anything, either.

“It’s been hard, but my teammates and coaches have been very supportive and so has the rest of my family [mother Sally and sister Sarah].”

So far this season, the Lady Redskins are off to a 6-1 start and are eyeing a third straight regional championship.

They have not been beyond the sectional, however, and that’s a step they hope to take this year. Having a dedicated Burns back this year will definitely help in that regard, but she has help on the mound this season, a luxury she didn’t have so much of the last two seasons.

In her freshman year, she was basically a one-person show in the circle before the arrival of freshman Ashley Phelps last season to take off some of the load. This year, Phelps has another year of experience, and sophomore

Morris pitcher Abby Burns warms up before Saturday’s game against Plainfield East.

GiGi Corban has also emerged as a viable option to log some innings as well. So, while Burns will remain as the mainstay on the mound, the burden isn’t hers alone.

“I think knowing that she doesn’t have to be the only one helps,” Morris coach Jen Lowery said. “We have much more pitching depth with Ashley and GiGi than we have had, and that should help Abby. She doesn’t have to take on

all that responsibility along with dealing with her dad not being there.

“I am so proud of her and the way she has handled herself through this.

The first half-inning at home this year was a tough one emotionally, especially when she came back to the dugout. She would look back to where her dad usually was and he wasn’t there.

“But her teammates were there to support her and that is part of what

Dan Voitik for Shaw Media

makes this a special group. They have been playing together since they were 8 years old. They are their own little family unit, and they have all been so supportive of Abby through all this. It’s been tough for her and for the rest of the girls, too. Jerry was a big part of their lives and if we make that next step this year, we know he will be watching with a smile on his face and taking that step with us.”

MORRIS – In his 25 years of walking through the halls of Morris Community High School, it seemed like there was always a smile on Gehrig Dergo’s face.

A man who enjoyed making people happy, Dergo, who was also a big part of Morris Community High School’s athletic success during the 1970s and ’80s, sadly passed away last Thursday night at Joliet Area Community Hospice. He was 81.

Dergo graduated from East Moline United High School in 1953 before enrolling at Western Illinois University.

At Western, he was an All-America football player as a center while earning his bachelor’s degree in education in 1957. In 1969, he earned a Master’ of Science degree from Indiana State University.

He began his teaching and coaching career in 1966 at Morris High School, He taught physical education at Morris until his retirement in 1991, was a member of the wrestling coaching staff from 1966 until 1986, and on the wrestling coaching staff from 1966 until 1990. He also spent time working as a jailer for the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department.

If college and professional football had been as big 50 years ago as it is now, Dergo may not have landed in Morris at all. Lou Saban, who was the head coach at WIU, offered Dergo a coaching position. But, with a new wife to support and a future in football less secure than teaching at the time, he decided to forgo that chance and take the safer route. Saban went on to be the first-ever coach of the Boston Patriots of the American Football League, and eventually coached the Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills.

Even though he didn’t follow Saban, Dergo’s influence did eventually reach the NFL, as Morris graduate Ed Brady always was quick to give him credit for teaching him to be a long snapper, a skill that helped keep Brady employed by the Los Angeles Rams, Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He saw five children graduate from Morris High School – sons George, Gehrig, Garrett and Geoffery and daughter Laurie. He was also an avid motorcyclist, and it was a rare summer day that didn’t see him tooling around the streets of Morris on his Harley-Davidson.

Dergo was an assistant wrestling coach under coach Don Funte when his son, Gehrig won the state championship at 167 pounds, going 38-0, in 1976.

“I think that was one of the things he

Gehrig Dergo, as seen in an undated photo taken at Morris Community High School. was most excited about,” said George Dergo, who is currently the athletic director at Morris. “I remember that each wrestler was allowed only one coach in his corner on the chair during the match, so when my brother won, Dad came flying down the stairs of Assembly Hall in Champaign and slid under the ropes on his knees to go celebrate with Gehrig.

“That kind of put Morris on the map as far as competing for state championships in anything. The football coaching staff used that as an example a lot.

They would say, ‘Look at this guy. He’s from Morris and he did it [won a state championship]. So can we.’

“And then the football team went to state in 1979 and got second and won it all in 1980.”

In 1982, again with Dergo as an assistant coach, Brian McTague won an individual state wrestling championship at 132 pounds.

The elder Gehrig Dergo was an assistant football coach under head coach

Larry Kane when the team included a player named Dan Darlington. When Darlington returned to Morris as the head coach in 1977, bringing high school teammates Keith Laughary and Dennis Steele with him, Dergo was not coaching football.

“The first guy I contacted when I got the job in Morris was ‘Derg,’ ” Darlington said. “I wanted him to be my freshman coach because he was so good at teaching the basics of the game.

Our program wouldn’t have gotten to where it was without him.

“This was back before youth football was very big, so a lot of the kids going out for football for the first time, he had to show them how to put their pads on and get into a stance. He was so good at teaching those fundamentals and basic techniques of blocking and tackling and, probably more important, at keeping kids in the program. I used to tell him that if we had 50 freshmen go out for football, there better be at least 40 that stayed and went out as

sophomores or I would be looking for a new freshman coach.”

Throughout his career, Dergo retained his enthusiasm for teaching and coaching, and it filtered down to his students and players.

“The biggest thing about ‘Derg’ is that he just loved what he did and had fun,” Darlington said. “I don’t think I can recall any kid in all my years at Morris that said they had ‘Derg’ as a teacher and didn’t like him. He loved Morris and he loved teaching kids. We were a better school for having him there.”

When George Dergo got his first check of 2016, it marked 50 years that someone with the last name of Dergo had collected a paycheck from MCHS. That was also something that the elder Dergo took pride in.

Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m.

Thursday at First Presbyterian Church in Morris and the funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m. Friday at the same church.

“

I’ve been a part of a lot of teams and in different communities, but that’s the best team I’ve ever been a part of, by far. I’ve been on teams with more pure talent, but just in terms of everyone knowing their roles and accepting their roles, and coaches who came up with good gameplans and had all the players buying into them. I think we were something close to an optimal team in that sense.

Garrett Callahan, Seneca class of 2006

BOYS BASKETBALL

Seneca celebrates 10 years since unbeaten season

By MARK JOHNSON

Shaw Media Correspondent Garrett Callahan and some friends spent the weekend of March 11-13 in Peoria.

The last time Callahan was in Peoria was the weekend of March 10-12, 2006. That Saturday, his Seneca Fighting Irish basketball team defeated Illinois Valley Central, 47-44, at Carver Arena in the Class A boys basketball state championship, completing a 35-0 season.

In other words, Callahan returned to Peoria exactly 10 years after leading the Fighting Irish to their only state title and completing what arguably was one of the greatest seasons by a smallschool team in Illinois history.

“It didn’t even register when I was planning to go that the [2016 state] tournament was going on, too,” Callahan said. “Then we started thinking about it, and someone said, ‘Wow, it’s been 10 years this weekend. That’s kind of a coincidence.’ ” Like Callahan, Robert Rexroade was unaware of the anniversary until it had arrived. Rexroade, too, received a reminder of the milestone, even though he was unable to join Callahan and some of the other former Irish players who accompanied him to Peoria that weekend.

“My sister texted me a picture of her, me, my mom and my brother from when we won and said, ‘Can you believe this was 10 years ago today,’ ” Rexroade said, “And, honestly, no, I didn’t believe it was already 10 years ago.”

Doug Evans, who was head coach of the Irish from 1982 to 2009, is living the retired life in Florida, so he does not visit Peoria often these days, either. Mentally, though, Evans admits to revisiting the 2006 season often.

Nothing from the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Famer’s career, he says, compares to that season – and really, the same can almost be said in the context of the history of the state. The 64 straight games Seneca won over three seasons, including the entire 2005-06 campaign, is tied for the second-longest streak on record in Illinois.

“When I talk to other coaches about that group, they marvel about the de-

Our kids sensed it. Our seniors knew. … There was never any doubt that we were going to go on and win the state championship. There was a sense of confidence – I wouldn’t call it arrogance, but we knew we were part of a special group.”

Callahan went on to play four years of Division I college basketball at South Dakota State. He was part of some successful teams at Seneca Grade School and earlier in his career with the Irish.

Yet he says the 2006 Irish had characteristics unlike any other on which he has played.

I think we were something close to an optimal team in that sense.”

Callahan’s brother, Griffan, was the lone junior starter on the 2005-06 Irish.

He later followed Garrett to SDSU and was a senior on the 2011-12 Jackrabbits’ team that was the first in school history to qualify for the NCAA Division I Men’s Tournament.

Griffan Callahan says it was a

dream of his to win a high school state title and to play in the NCAA Tournament, and that he was able to do both on teams that shared some similarities.

“We had a playmaker on each team – Garrett at Seneca and Nate [Wolters] at SDSU – and filled the court with shooters around them,” Griffan Callahan said. “It was the same mentality on defense also – both coaches (Evans and Scott Nagy) stressed defense, and if you didn’t play defense, you simply just didn’t play.”

Evans says the 2005-06 Irish were a group almost uniformly unconcerned with individual statistics and accolades. Garrett Callahan, Rexroade and Griffan Callahan all had scoring averages in double figures, but each could have scored far more had there been a need for them to, or had they played more often; Evans often rested his starters for almost the entire second half of Seneca’s frequent blowout wins.

Fourteen players appeared in at least 23 games for the Irish; eight scored at least 91 points.

That depth and talent, Evans says, was enhanced by the leadership of senior captains Garrett Callahan, Rexroade, Tyler Smith, Nathan Hogue, Marty Hetelle and Tim Schmanske, as well as assistant coaches Jeff Stenzel, Nate Nollen and Shane Trager. Evans says the credit should extend into the school, where people such as Assistant Principal Dan Manullang helped him balance coaching with day-to-day duties of being principal.

“It was a special experience with a special group of people. Everywhere we’d go, everywhere we’d play, there’d be a packed house. Our kids were like rock stars,” Evans said. “It was a oncein-a-hundred-years, if that, type of group.”

Rexroade, who now lives in Mazon, remains in close contact with many members of the team, and says the bond the team shared with its members, and with the community, remains today.

“You go into Seneca, and you still see those same people that were there game after game, cheering for you,” Rexroade said. “It was like a family. …

To me, what made it so special wasn’t just that we did what we did, but we did it as part of a small town where you have that part of it, too.”

As technology improves, so does finding fish I remember when I was a kid, my dad bought something called a fish finder.

I wasn’t sure what that electronic gizmo was and what it did, but the name couldn’t lie.

Or could it?

After it was mounted to the boat, it was time to take it to the lake.

The magical machine displayed images from right-to-left on the digital screen.

At the time, my dad was looking at contour changes and water depth. Not me. No way. This thing was called a fish finder, and I wanted it to find fish.

I vividly remember the cheezy fish graphic the unit would display.

If the sonar picked up a return suspended above the bottom, it would replace the pixelated arc with a happy little fish.

The bigger the return, the bigger the fish icon. As a kid, that is exciting stuff.

That was many years ago. Those early units accurately displayed depth and contours, but really getting much detail required an advanced degree,

Quality electronics make you a better angler.

Not just because you can locate the type of cover the fish are using on any given day, but you learn about their behavior.

That knowledge is not forgotten and can be applied to new situations from one body of water to the next.

If you have yet to take a close look at the latest fish finders, you may want to.

Eggs come out of their shell

By LINDA BASSETT More Content Now

Today, eggs are back in fashion after many years of being banned from the table by health professionals. In moderation, of course. And with a modern twist. For instance, rather than a breakfast of bacon and eggs, health conscious folks mash an avocado well with a few drops of lemon or lime juice to help keep out the lumps and keep it bright green. Then they spread the mashed avocado on toast, and top it with an egg, fried or poached in olive oil, the healthy fat, rather than butter.

Besides the usual preparations, eggs – fried, poached, scrambled, hard- and softboiled – are the main event in a number of recipes.

Leafing through piles of old cookbooks, I found omelets, frittata, strata, tarts, quiches, soufflés and French toast.

And then more subtly tucked or whisked into other classics like Cobb salad, pasta alla carbonara, grilled salmon with egg and chive sauce; New England potato salad with eggs and pickles; tiramisu, slivered raw asparagus salad, huevos rancheros.

In one old classic from a vintage book shop, I looked up the basics “how-to’s.”

Tucked between the lines was a recipe that may have been a regional favorite in the early decades of the last century. Asparagus with Egg and Bacon.

It was obvious as I read that the writer assumed the cook already knew how to prepare asparagus “perfectly” and could poach or fry an egg without further instructions. Oh, yes, and cook bacon well done without burning. Maybe he wanted the reader to look up the methods right in the pages of this 875-page volume.

A cook should feel free to substitute dill for the tarragon or mixing the two together.

10 eggs 2 teaspoons cold water 1 teaspoon dried tarragon or 2 teaspoons fresh chopped tarragon sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, Tabasco, to taste 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 ounces whipped cream cheese

Crack eggs into a medium bowl; beat together until with the water, tarragon, salt, pepper, and Tabasco, until the yellow and white of the eggs are completely blended.

Heat a large heavy nonstick skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a rubber or wooden spatula, folding the eggs over on themselves until they form moist curds.

This should take about 3 minutes. The eggs will look shiny and runny in spots.

Add the cream cheese. Cook, folding the eggs and cream cheese over the heat for about 15 seconds. Remove from the heat and continue to fold the eggs until the cream cheese is melted and coats the eggs.

Serve this right away.
