Plan ahead, but also leave time for life

There are days when it seems as if I am being pulled in about six directions. I am sure it’s no different for most of you. No matter how organized you think you are, work, family and other obligations tend to flare up unannounced like little grease fires. And, if they were announced, they were somehow noted, but quickly put into the same bowl as everything else and got tossed around like a good salad.

I am not going to give any advice on how to be better organized as I am, admittedly, not the person someone should come to for that type of advice. Unless you enjoy a constant state of aggravation, it’s best not to imitate my methods.

For one thing, I am not a morning person. Even in college, when I had to wake up at 5 a.m. to be at baseball practice by 5:30, I never got used to the early rising.

My teammates, a few of when would stop by my dorm room to make sure I was awake and to walk to the fieldhouse with me, eventually figured out it was best not to speak to me until I had taken a little

VIEWS Rob Oesterle while to wake up. I tend to be a bit growly in the morning, a trait I seem to have passed on to my daughter. That makes for either a silent drive to school in the morning or the two of us butting heads in the car. I prefer the silence: I don’t like sending her to school after a silly argument just because we both hate mornings.

Once the morning mood has passed, I am fine. Usually, if there is a lot to do in a short period of time, I am better off. My focus kicks in and I can get tasks done. Most of that I attribute to many late nights of working in sports on a tight deadline. But even before that, if I had papers to write in school, the ones I got better grades on were the ones I wrote off the top of my head the night before they were due. The ones I had

LOOKING UP

time to plan for and write rough drafts and outlines never seemed to turn out as well.

Of course, every time I read an article in a newspaper, magazine or online, it says to take time to plan ahead and write up a calendar of upcoming events. That all sounds well and good, but these people must have either extraordinary patience or children that unnaturally remember everything they are supposed to do and when they are supposed to it.

From my experience, rare is the time anyone reminisces about the time everything went according to plan. The way you adjusted to some crazy thing here or there is what you recall. I am not saying that planning ahead is a bad idea. It definitely keeps things in some semblance of order. But also remember, life happens.

You have to leave room for that – because that’s usually the good stuff.

Surface Transportation Board to hold hearing in Seneca on environmental impact

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Editor’s note: This is the first in a three-part series on the proposed Great Lake Basin Railroad project. You can read more about this story in a related article on Page 29, detailing the results of the first public scoping meeting.

MAZON – Michelle Weber remembers when, as a child, she climbed into the family’s combine with her father so they could work the farmland her parents bought in rural Mazon.

Today, she and her husband, Nick, farm 10 acres of that land.

In her strawberry-patterned rubber boots, she stood in the decades-old crib last week on that very farm. She looked out at the strawberry plants, set to bear fruit in June, and questioned the future of the dream she and Nick have with the same degree of care as she and her husband bestowed on the plants.

“We rent 10 acres for our farm from my mother,” she said. “My parents moved here in the ’70s and I was born in 1978. My dad was a grain farmer who passed when I was just 9 years old. My mom kept the farm and rented it out.”

The Great Lakes Basin Railroad, a privately funded proposed plan by Great Lakes Basin Transportation Inc., would, if approved, come right over her small farm, essentially wiping out the several years of hard work her family has put in.

The railroad is also someone’s dream. Frank Patton of Crete came up with the idea of taking a railroad from the Rockford area to Indiana to bypass the rail congestion in Chicago.

“This is my baby. It’s like bragging about a grandchild,” Patton said in a phone interview. “This isn’t for me, it’s for our children and grandchildren, and their children and grandchildren.”

Patton’s plan is to help bring light

He said thin profit margins are one aspect that drives manufacturing away, and the only way to achieve larger margins is to either lower the cost of production or of distribution.

His goal is to do the latter.

The proposed railroad

project, with an estimated $8 billion price tag, would run 275 miles from La Porte, Indiana, to Milton, Wisconsin, cutting through Grundy and LaSalle counties locally.

The rail line would expedite freight movement by providing an interconnection for existing Class I railroads that operate in the Chicago area – including the BNSF and Union Pacific rail lines servicing the Joliet and Elwood intermodals – Patton, the com-

pany’s founder and managing partner has said. The proposed route would enter Grundy County south of South Wilmington and East Brooklyn and cut northwest of Mazon, crossing the Illinois River east of Seneca. It would enter LaSalle County for a short stretch in the unincorporated northeast corner of the county.

Patton said the idea is to construct

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Reservations to clean about 14 miles of the I&M Canal Trail within the Channahon Park District’s limits this weekend filled up in late March.

Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, church groups and business groups are teaming up for the annual spring cleaning effort, Channahon Superintendent of Park Planning Daryl Cole said.

In cooperation with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, which owns, manages and maintains the I&M Canal, groups are assigned to clean sections of the trail every April.

Participation in the fourth-annual cleanup maxed out due in large part to a dedicated volunteer base in the Channahon area.

“A big thing that’s happening now is these groups are all looking for opportunities to volunteer time,” Cole said. “I think that’s a big reason why we’re booked up.”

But it’s not the only effort this month to clean America’s first designated National Heritage Corridor.

The Canal Corridor Association is coordinating a cleanup April 23 throughout the 62-mile trail, also in collaboration with the IDNR. CCA President and CEO Ana Koval

can then showcase the dedicated volunteer efforts to federal and state agencies.

“We want to show to the National Park Service that people care about the canal and the trail,” Koval said.

The I&M Canal was officially recognized in 1964 when it was designated a National Historic Landmark, yet a lot of people don’t realize how much of a resource it is, Koval said.

Minooka seeking information on 3 daytime burglaries

MINOOKA – The Minooka Police Department is investigating three burglaries that took place within the last few week.

In all three incidents, the burglaries occurred during daytime hours when the victims were not home. Doors were forced open at each property to gain entry, at which time jewelry and cash were taken. One burglary happened March 31, and two more occurred April 4, according to a news release from the department. Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer said Friday morning that evidence suggests the two on April 4 are related and investigators are trying find out if the March 31 burglary is connected.

The April 4 burglaries occurred at two homes on East Mondamin Street – one in the 100 block and one in the 600 block. The March 31 burglary took place in the Arbor Lakes subdivision.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Minooka Police Department at 815-467-2161 or the Grundy County Crime Stoppers line at 815-942-9667.

Callers will remain anonymous and rewards of up to $5,000 may be given for information that leads to an arrest.

Will County’s Wauponsee trail users have new access point

WILMINGTON – Wauponsee Glacial Trail users can now park at a new trailhead to move across the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie and catch a glimpse of the preserve’s bison herd.

The Forest Preserve District of Will County recently completed the Midewin-Wauponsee Trailhead in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service – which owns and operates Midewin, according to a Forest Preserve District news release. The new trailhead is south of Manhattan on Hoff Road. South of the trailhead, the Wauponsee Glacial Trail intersects with a path that leads into the 19,000-acre Midewin, the release stated.

Midewin officials reintroduced American bison to the preserve in October.

The bison enclosure also is accessible via the Iron Bridge Trailhead on Route 53, but Ralph Schultz, the district’s chief operating officer, said the new trailhead provides another route for those eyeing a longer trek. The $270,000 project was split between the two agencies, he said.

JJC, staff work to improve Centennial Commons marketing

Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media

Channahon resident George Harris asks questions about the proposed Bridge Street bike path at last week’s open house at the Village Hall.

Residents react to bike path plans at open house

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – Flooding was the question on the minds of some of the handful of residents who attended last week’s Channahon’s Bridge Street Bike Path Informational Open House.

George Harris said his property backs up to the bike path the village is proposing. He’s not against it, he said after talking with engineers and village staff – if it doesn’t contribute to his already soggy acreage.

“As long as the water don’t back up into my basement,” he said.

Channahon Public Works Director Ed Dolezal said at the April 6 event the bike path won’t make area flooding worse, and it might actually ease it a bit.

Strand Associates engineer Darcie Gabrisko said the village is looking at installing storm sewers alongside the path to help with drainage.

The proposed east-west asphalt bike path would be south of Route 6, extending the village’s current network of pathways from the I & M Canal Trail westward, crossing the canal with a new dedicated bridge of its own,

then running south along West Bridge Street, past South Blackberry Lane and South Parkside Drive.

The path would then cross West Bridge Street and run past McKinley Woods Road along the south side of Route 6 to connect with the existing Hunters Crossing path.

Village officials say once the network of village paths is complete, it will give safe riding and walking routes across the canal and DuPage River, connecting neighborhoods to schools, parks and Channahon Park District facilities, Village Hall and businesses.

The path has been in the works for a while. The village applied for funding for the preliminary work and was denied more than once. According to Dolezal, the village finally paid for Phase 1 engineering work itself, spending approximately $160,000 to establish alignment, look at environmental considerations and determine necessary land acquisition.

Phase 1 wraps us this spring, he said, and the next step is to look for federal and state funding for Phase 2 engineering. Dolezal said having Phase 1 engineering completed could help secure Phase 2 funding.

JOLIET – Joliet Junior College officials and managers of a student housing complex have renewed efforts to market the property to students, which they hope will mean increased occupancy in the future.

Last year, JJC and owners of Centennial Commons, an apartment complex for JJC students, were at odds over the marketing of the property, which had a declining occupancy rate after college officials put in new restrictions to protect students’ privacy.

JJC officials decided to revise the school’s policy and provide a list of prospective and attending students’ contact information to Centennial Commons management solely for the purposes of marketing and promoting the housing complex, according to a Dec. 15 memo posted on the Electronic Municipal Market Access website.

Minooka police discontinue use of body cameras after test

MINOOKA – The Minooka Police Department has stopped using officer body cameras after a six-month testing phase.

State law does not mandate police departments use body cameras but does specify how and when they should be used if a department elects to use them.

Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer said the issue was not with functionality but that it became a burden for staff to fill the many requests for video footage.

“You could have four officers on a call for a domestic incident,” Meyer said. “If they are on scene for an hour – whether there’s an arrest or not – that’s four hours of video that has to be uploaded.”

Then, when cases reached the court system, there were many requests for the videos from attorneys and anyone else involved in the case. Officers were required to turn the cameras on for any law enforcement situation, from directing traffic to serious crime responses, Meyer said. The department was the first Grundy County agency to start using body cameras. It employed 10 in July as part of a 60- to 90-day trial run, which ended up lasting through January.

BatteryJack, of Minooka, supplied the cameras, which were shared by the department’s 15 uniformed officers.

Veteran Reid Enger, 75, closes the passenger door of a white minivan in May 2015 while in Morris. Enger is one of many veterans who get transportation from the Grundy VAC to and from Hines VA Hospital.

VAC also doesn’t have a representative from each group, it also doesn’t technically exist.

Buck said the new VAC appealed the 2015 decision. The commission argued that unlike the VAC run by Monson, the new VAC has invited every veteran’s organization to attend and gives them notice of meetings. This VAC also is the one the Grundy County Board officially has recognized.

If the VAC does not appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court within 30 days of the

50

new ruling, or if all the veteran’s groups in the county don’t come together for one commission, there will no longer be a VAC in Grundy County.

“Right now we are consulting with our attorneys and the commission to determine our options,” Buck said. “We are looking at several things.”

Hammons said she has to visit her doctor at least once a week, and some weeks it’s two trips for her health care appointments. Without the transportation program, she would have to hire

MORRIS – Navy veteran and Morris resident Shirley Hammons has to visit her doctor at least once a week – a trip that means getting from her home in Morris to either Hines VA hospital or the VA clinic in Joliet. The problem is that, at age 82, Hammons no longer drives.

She is just one of the 50 to 60 veterans who use the Grundy County Veterans Assistance Commission’s transportation services to Hines VA Hospital each month – a program that may be discontinued if a legitimate VAC is not formed.

“I think it is so sad,” Hammons said Monday. “The drivers are so kind. They make sure I get where I need to go.”

They are like a second family to Hammons – a family she can’t imagine getting by without.

The Third District Appellate Court released an opinion April 1 that upheld its May 2015 opinion, which found that neither the old VAC, run by Elton Monson, nor the new VAC, run by Ken Buck, are valid since neither has a delegate and an alternate representative from every veterans group in Grundy County.

The court found in the 2015 decision that the old VAC dismantled itself by refusing to seat some delegates chosen by the veterans’ groups. But since the new

someone to take her. She isn’t sure she could afford that on her Social Security benefits. It isn’t just herself she’s worried about. It’s the other veterans who share the van trip to the hospital with her.

“There are veterans so crippled up, so sick, I don’t know what they’ll do,” she said. “You can’t just discount all these people who need services.”

Of the 11 veteran organizations serving Grundy County, eight have agreed to work together to keep services for the veterans.

Representatives from Danner-Madsen American Legion Post 663 in Gardner and Amiens VFW Post 1740 in South Wilmington did not return phone calls for comment. Morris AMVETS Post 53 in Morris is led by Monson, the former VAC leader, who has said he will not join the current commission despite his desire to help veterans. The quarrel between the veterans started when six local veterans’ organizations were allegedly not allowed a vote with the old VAC. At their request, the Grundy County Board took action for reorganization.

Monson has continued to fight that decision, asking the courts to refute the County Board’s action, stating it did not have the authority to recognize an entirely new VAC. The local courts ruled the county did, but would not rule on the existence of the old VAC.

kschott@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When it comes to the annual Celebration of Giving Regional Telethon, Deb Strahanoski thinks it could hold its own with any national one you might have seen.

The yearly event, scheduled for Saturday, is the major fundraiser for Easter Seals Joliet Region. Strahanoski, development manager at Easter Seals, said the 12-hour telethon will be televised live on Comcast Channel 6 and will live stream at www.joliet.easterseals.com.

Between the 1,000 or so volunteers who pitch in, the local talent – from bands to dancers to hosts – and the families who receive services from the agency providing testimonials, Strahanoski said it is an event that Easter Seals looks forward to every year.

“It’s an event we just love, and we love that it is a day that people can sit back and enjoy,” she said. “And we thank the community from the bottom of our hearts.”

The show is split between two cities: From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., it will be at the Kankakee Valley Park District Rec Center in Kankakee; and from 1 to 9 p.m., it will be at the Jacob Henry Mansion in Joliet.

The Celebration of Giving Regional Telethon will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday.

Watch live on Comcast Channel 6 or online at www.joliet.easterseals.com. To make a donation the day of, call 815-927-5450.

Strahanoski said the event has been going on for more than two decades, and during that time it has raised more than $1 million for Easter Seals. The agency serves Ford, Grundy, Kankakee, Kendall, Iroquois and Will counties. Easter Seals helps people with disabilities and special needs, and their families, live better lives. It takes about six months to pull together the event, she said. Between performances by local groups and bands, hosts ask those tuning in to call in, and volunteers manning phone banks record donations.

The goal is to raise $180,000 this year, Strahanoski said.

“We are feeling really good that we will – fingers crossed, of course – that we will exceed that,” she said.

“We appreciate every dollar we get,” Strahanoski said. “We are so grateful for people coming together and embracing our event to help us raise as much money as possible for all of our programs and services in our region.”

MORRIS – The Grundy County Board voted, 14-1, with Frank Halpin voting “no” and Debra Jo Kinsella and John Roth absent, to appoint Chris Balkema county board vice president to fill the position opened when David Nelson resigned from the board in February.

The board voted in March to fill the vacant District 2 seat with Balkema, who was formerly on the county board from 2010 to 2014.

“We’re happy to have Chris back on the board,” Chairman David Welter said.

“Placing him back into his previous leadership positions makes sense. He has the time and the passion for the position and cares about the community.”

The board also approved an ordinance with a 12-0 vote, with Eric Rasmussen, Harold Vota, Debra Jo Kinsella, Kerry Courtright and Doug Boresi absent, to continue to offer public transportation through the Grundy County Transit Authority.

Welter said having the transportation authority allows the county to recoup tax dollars back to the county to provide the

transportation.

“It allows us to pull down funds through the Downstate Operations Assistance Program to provide the needed services to our residents,” Welter said.

“The Monday through Friday public transportation is available without spending local tax dollars on operating expense.”

The GTS is primarily funded through federal and state grants, with a portion of the funding coming from motor fuel tax.

The board also approved the following appointments: • Andy Biros to the Mazon Fire Protection District.

• Rodney Kodat to the Dwight Fire Protection District.

• Brad Baker to the Morris Fire Protection District.

The Board also approved the following reappointments: • Timothy Ortiz to the Sheriff’s Merit Commission.

• John Lissy and Mitch Bailey as trustees on the Coal City Fire Protection District.

• Dale Watson, Dick Joyce and Robert Coleman to the Grundy County ETSB board.

MORRIS – Morris Community High School District 101 remains on the Financial Early Warning list this year with a score of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale. The total profile is the sum of five weighted scores which look at fund balance to revenue ratio; expenditures to revenue ratio; days cash on hand; percent of short-term borrowing ability remaining; and percent of long-term debt margin remaining.

“Our two lowest areas are days cash on-hand and expenditures to revenue ratio,” Superintendent Pat Halloran said.

“Other than a few years ago, when we borrowed two years of cash on hand, we usually have about two and a half months of reserve.”

Halloran said one way the district is working to raise its score is by cutting expenditures for the 2016-2017 school year by about $500,000, as well as increasing some fees to raise revenue.

“We’d like to be over 90 days of working cash, and ideally we should have six months working cash on hand,” Halloran said.

Morris Community High School is not the only district to score low in the area

of expenditures to revenue ratio. Halloran said he has read that nearly 60 percent of districts are operating with deficit spending. According to the Fiscal Year 2016 School District Financial Profile Scores based on Fiscal Year 2015 financial reports by the Illinois State Board of Education, MCHS District 101 is one of 61 districts on the Financial Early Warning List.

Halloran said a major concern moving forward is the rumors he’s hearing from Springfield that the state may not fund K-12 education during the next school year, due to the budget impasse.

He said if this happens the district would be looking at a loss of $1.7 or $1.8 million in revenue from state and federal funding sources.

“If we lose state funding it would be a loss of 28 percent of our education fund,” he said. “The closest thing to relate this to is when Collins Station closed and we lost 35 percent of our budget over two years.”

Halloran said the district would likely be able to remain open and operating normally for the 2016-2017 school year, but beyond that would be questionable.

He said some districts in the state would likely not be able to open for the school year at all.

Recycle unwanted electronics Saturday If you go

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – If you’re running out of space for your outdated electronics, the Grundy County Land Use Department will take them off your hands.

Residents of Grundy County are invited, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, to recycle their electronics at Environtech Landfill, 1800 Ashley Road in Morris.

“This is the biggest event we have,” Grundy County Land Use Director Heidi Miller said. “We’re going to try to get everyone in and out as quickly as possible.

Grundy County residents do a wonderful job recycling.”

Electronics are made from copper, quartz, plastic and other valuable resources and materials. Although there is a profit for the electronics recycling companies after they repurpose valuable materials, Miller said, the companies fill an important role as the go-between in creating another life for the materials.

Pieces of your laptop from 10 years ago may already have made their way to another laptop.

“By recycling, you’re bringing resources back to where they started from,” Miller said.

Miller said the Land Use Department tests Environtech for chemical output regularly and hasn’t uncovered electronics pollution issues.

“When materials come into contact with rainwater, chemicals can leech out into soils and expand,” Miller said.

“We’re lucky. At Environtech we don’t have that problem, but it happens in oth-

er areas.”

But on Saturday, materials will be picked up by New Life Electronics Recycling Inc. of Oswego. The event is open only to Grundy County residents. Staff will ask to check your ID and will unload your vehicle.

Unlimited electronics will be accepted, with the exception of one television per vehicle. This is because of the glass in the screens, which requires the department to pay an extra fee for disposal.

If you can’t attend Saturday, there are three more electronics recycling events scheduled this year. The next one is scheduled for June 11 at Diamond Village Hall, followed by Aug. 6 at Braceville Village Hall and Oct. 8 at Seneca Police Department.

Grundy students take part in Government Day

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Shabbona Middle School student Donovan Revels clicked on his microphone Tuesday as he addressed the “interim” Grundy County Board on behalf of the Tax Committee.

Revels spoke several times on the topic at hand – a proposal to build a new landfill on the outskirts of Morris – and said he felt comfortable in the board room.

“My friends and I spend our free time talking politics,” Revels said. “It was a cool experience to be on the board for the mock meeting because I was able to be heard by other people and around people who are important in our county.”

For more than 35 years, Grundy County, along with the University of Illinois Extension, has offered an essay-based Government Day to middle school students in Grundy County. Out of 800 applicants, 81 students on Tuesday walked through the doors of the Grundy County Administration Center to learn how county government offices work.

“The purpose of this day was to educate students about county government and services and try to engage them in the process of how local government works,” Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said.

The students from seven schools were greeted and given a tour of the county building, then split off into separate teams of government agencies, based on the areas of interest expressed in their essays. The two main events in the morning were a mock trial at the Grundy County Courthouse with State’s Attorney Jason Helland, and a mock Grundy County board meeting run by Welter and

and cons from a board member or county employee, they were on their own to develop an opinion and vote. After a 30-minute back-and-forth debate, the landfill was turned down with a 12-7 vote.

“I thought the highway part was fine, but the pollution was a negative,” seventh-grade South Wilmington student Grace Halpin said. “I felt like I could make a vote because I was smarter after I learned more about the situation in the group meetings.”

On the other side of town, Helland had his students engrossed in a domestic violence trial that involved Rihanna and Chris Brown.

“We wanted to keep the kids’ attention, so we came up with a case we would normally prosecute here in Grundy County, but added a little Hollywood,” Helland said.

The student jury of 12 found Chris Brown not guilty due to a twist when Rihanna produced the weapon in question while on the stand.

“This taught the students that all evidence needs to be presented and you cannot win a case with ambush tactics,” Helland said.

All students also took a tour of the county jail and then attended lunch and a closing ceremony at First United Methodist Church.

Coal City school board OKs mechanical project

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Coal City Middle School should operate more efficiently by this fall.

The Coal City Community Unit School District 1 Board voted April 6 to approve a $3.09 million contract with Talsma Builders Inc., of Alsip, for mechanical renovation work. The biggest part of the project is the replacement of the middle school’s boiler system.

Coal City School District Superintendent Kent Bugg said the board has supported large capital projects the last couple of years because of stable tax revenues from Dresden Nuclear Station. Bugg said that as Exelon Generation’s tax deal with the district is set to expire in 2018, the board has been aggressive in getting projects done.

In addition to work at the district’s elementary and intermediate schools, replacement of the middle school’s 16-year-old boiler system will make operations more efficient. Bugg said the improved efficiency means savings will add up over time.

“We think this system will be good for 20 years,” Bugg said. “We plan to start the work as soon as this school year finishes and have it complete before the next school year starts.”

In other discussion items, Bugg said, the board two years ago put out a request for proposal to attract a beforeand after-school child care agency. The experience with Step by Step Childcare Centers has gone so well the board is looking for a three-year contract.

Parents pay a fee for the child care, which is held at the district’s early childhood center, elementary school and intermediate school.

“We’re happy to continue to offer this service,” Bugg said. “The program continues to grow.”

The board also discussed again the maintenance of district’s athletic fields. The board decided to stick with the high school football field’s natural grass surface rather than install an artificial turf field. The board April 27 is set to discuss whether to contract with a maintenance company or hire a permanent groundskeeping position.

Bugg said he expects a decision in May.

Texas Tenors to perform at Coal City If you go

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Since the Coal City High School Auditorium was completed in 2010, the goal has been to fill it with fine arts performances of all kinds.

The school has worked to develop its fine arts program through concerts, plays and musicals. But until recently Coal City School District 1 hadn’t pursued outside acts, Superintendent Kent Bugg said.

A group of community members saw The Texas Tenors perform in December at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet. A short time later, the idea to host a benefit concert for Coal City High School student and cancer-survivor Megan Bugg was born.

“The district was very interested,” said her father, Kent Bugg.

“This is the first professional program for our community.”

At 7 p.m. April 24, the multi-genre trio – composed of country singer JC Fisher, pop singer Marcus Collins and opera singer John Hagen – will take the auditorium stage.

The event is sponsored by the Unit 1 Educational Foundation, which has a mission of enhancing, supporting and creating learning op-

portunities for students in the Coal City area.

Megan Bugg asked that all proceeds from the concert go into a special fund to bring more professional acts to the auditorium.

Bowl For Kids’ Sake rolls through Morris

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Every year, April marks the month of the biggest fundraiser on Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will & Grundy Counties’ annual calendar.

On Saturday, it’s Morris’ turn to host one of six bowling events, on six different days, in six different municipalities.

From 1 to 3 p.m. at Echo Bowling Lanes, teams and individual bowlers will gather for Bowl For Kids’ Sake. With every drop of a pin, bowlers hope to raise money toward the nonprofit’s 2016 goal of $100,000 to help serve local children. This chapter of the national organization has been bowling for kids’ sake more than 30 years now, coordinator Jeannine Kubas said.

It’s no secret why she calls it a success.

“Bowling is fun,” Kubas said. “It’s easy to do – just about any person, any age can do it.”

While there was playful smack talk Sunday between police officer and firefighter bowling teams at the Lockport event, Kubas said it’s a family-friendly environment. Several lanes are used by the organization’s mentors and their

youth counterparts, also known as “bigs” and “littles,” respectively.

“There’s a lot of elements that make it successful,” Kubas said. “But the Big Brothers Big Sisters mission is endearing because everybody wants to help kids.

The mentoring component alone shows a profound impact. Everybody would like to have a positive role model.”

Sponsorship opportunities are available. Funds acquired through sponsorships help Big Brothers Big Sisters match at-risk youth with caring adults so they can become confident, competent and caring individuals.

Seneca FFA’s 30 MPH roadway cleanup scheduled for Friday

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com SENECA – Sixteen years into Seneca Township High School FFA’s 30 MPH annual spring cleanup event, there’s less garbage than ever on area roadways.

Each spring, between 400 and 500 students volunteer to clean 30 miles of ditches and sides of Seneca-area roadways while motorists travel no more than 30 mph. The motto to this year’s event, set to take place Friday, is “The Cleanest Place on Earth.”

Seneca High School teacher and FFA adviser Jeff Maierhofer said the annual efforts seem to be leaving a positive impression on the community and students want the district to be the cleanest place on Earth.

“We noticed something strange this year when we were planning the route,” event chairman Wyatt Quigley said in a news release. “There’s less garbage in the ditches. Perhaps we are reaching our ultimate goal of convincing people in our area and those that travel through here that our ditches are not the place for their garbage.”

Each year, more Seneca High School graduates who learn from the program.

Maierhofer said that principles who learned from the cleanup effort are carried on long after students graduate.

“A lot of students come back to the school and talk about this being their favorite thing they were a part of,” Maierhofer said.

The cleanup route is on a four-year rotation. The volunteers will focus Friday on the Mazon area.

Security and safety will again be provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Seneca and Mazon police, Seneca fire and ambulance, Grundy and LaSalle County Sheriffs and Grundy County EMS. These agencies will make sure motorists drive 30 mph.

Major financial sponsors again this year are Exelon Generation and CF Industries of Seneca. Exelon also provides supervisors and trucks. The Seneca FFA Alumni members will take the full garbage bags to dumpsters. Illinois Central will provide buses for transportation.

The Seneca FFA is a 140-member student organization that is a component of the agricultural education department. The FFA’s mission is to assist students by providing leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

By Diane Krieger Spivak There are many types of hearing loss.

The most common is age-related, but even younger people experience it, often due to long-term exposure to loud music or jobrelated loud noise.

Hearing loss is typically a gradual condition that sneaks up on people over time, eventually cutting them off from friends, loved ones and the world around them.

There are warning signs to look for, however, to determine if you might need hearing aids that can help you reconnect.

If it seems that others are mumbling and you often find yourself asking them to repeat themselves, you may need hearing aids, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Turning up the television or radio louder than others find comfortable is also a good indication.

Having trouble hearing at public venues such as the theater, a house of worship, restaurants or other places where large SM-CL0301994

numbers of people congregate, can also be a sign of hearing loss. So can having trouble understanding the conversation in even a small group of people.

Do you find it difficult to understand what someone is saying if you can’t see their face, if they’re speaking softly, if they’re talking to you on the phone or if they’re speaking to you from another room?

Do you keep the volume on your phone at maximum level in order to hear?

A common type of hearing loss is one in which people have trouble understanding high-pitched consonants like s, f, th, and others because they are soft-sounds, the Cleveland Clinic explains. The condition is worse when there is background noise, such as in groups of people.

If you experience these symptoms and feel you may suffer from hearing loss, contact your hearing health professional to be tested for hearing aids.

Pat Brennan

Minooka village president

However, the Interstate 80 and Minooka Road improvement project was completed.

The Public Works Department has taken an inventory of sidewalks that need attention and has created a road maintenance plan, which found that 51 percent of roadways in Minooka will need maintenance between 2019 and 2024.

“We have been working on the best approach of tackling this plan to provide a safe and reliable transportation network for the residents,” Brennan said.

During 2015, the village issued 349 building permits – 30 for new home construction.

“This adds up to a construction value of more than $20 million being invested in Minooka,” Brennan said.

One project that won’t start this year is the reconstruction of the Ca-

nadian National Railroad viaduct over Ridge Road. Because of engineering issues beyond the control of the village or county, construction to widen Ridge Road to four lanes has been pushed to 2017, with completion projected for 2018.

Two steps taken by the village in 2015 will help set the stage for the planned DuPage River walk and bike path.

The village bought a former residence on McEvilly Road, currently being used for storage, that will eventually mark the beginning of the path that will extend northeast to Lake Chaminwood.

The annexation of the 13-acre Sunset Club will allow a connection to the path.

Minooka will be receiving a $1.1 million insurance claim to cover the cost of hail damage from the 2015 storms, which includes damage to the Village Hall roof and public works buildings, a pump house, a water tower, a wastewater treatment plant, several hundred streetlights and a couple of park pavilions.

“We had quite a lot of damage,” Brennan said.

On the financial side, the village has six months of operating reserves on hand, which is required by state

general audit standards.

In a move to save money, debt certificates from 2007 were refunded and new general obligation bonds were purchased at a much lower rate, saving about $245,000 in interest.

Looking to the future, construction on an 83,000-square-foot assisted-living facility is planned to start this year, and work on the McEvilly Road bike path will begin this summer with a late-spring bid letting.

About 10 small businesses have opened in Minooka in the last three months and other projects are on the horizon, Brennan said.

“We have some promising things coming up, some commercial businesses looking at us,” he said.

Brennan proudly introduced Minooka Police Department staff, saying Chief Justin Meyer and the force are committed to reducing crime through crime prevention and community involvement.

After his speech, Brennan said the safety and health of residents and children is one of his top priorities.

“I think of it every morning,” he said.

He also added that infrastructure projects need to get done before economic and village growth begins ramping up again.

MINOOKA – Minooka’s State of the Village address last week started off with a lot of laughs after Grundy County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Christina Van Yperen introduced two celebrities – Nick Offerman and Stephen Colbert.

Attendees were treated to a repeat showing on a big screen of the “Community Calendar” segment shown April 4 on Colbert’s “The Late Show” featuring Offerman and Colbert spoofing the village. The bit got a big round of applause from the crowd.

On a more serious note, Village President Pat Brennan touted during the April 6 event the accomplishments of Minooka during the past year, including a $40 million investment in the community by AirGas and the December opening of the Hampton Inn & Suites, which often has been at full capacity.

Now that IKEA has rented the former Clorox building, the company expects several hundred new jobs to come to the community.

With state budget issues leaving funding uncertain, the village took a conservative approach to infrastructure improvements.

“This adds up to a construction value of more than $20 million being invested in Minooka.”

Miracle Mop inventor offers cleaning recommendations

By JURA KONCIUS

The Washington Post Joy Mangano, inventor of the Miracle Mop, thinks millennials might not have learned everything they need to know about cleaning from their parents.

“I will never forget my son calling me from Georgetown University within his first week there and saying, ‘So, OK, how do you do laundry?’” Mangano said.

Mangano, who has gone on to invent many more household products now sold at HSN and other retailers, said her three kids did have chores growing up. But she admits that they, as well as lots of others in their generation, may not have watched that closely as parents cleaned.

Mangano, who was the inspiration for the film “Joy,” starring Jennifer Lawrence, said making cleaning a priority is something 20-somethings are learning to emPhoto provided brace.

to know something, they just look it up online.”

But even the most basic studio apartment needs a starting lineup of cleaning tools.

So we asked Mangano for five items that are essential.

She started, as you might expect, with her own self-wringing mop, millions of which she has sold since 1992.

Mangano said clean floors are the starting point of a tidy home. A mop can quickly clean up wet spills or dust dry floors and is perfect for wiping up dirt tracked in from outside.

It doesn’t take up much space and will last for years versus one-time-

• CLEANING

Continued from page 22 use cleaning products, she said.

Mangano’s Miracle Mop ($19.95 on HSN; also at Bed Bath & Beyond, Target and Macy’s) is self-wringing and was designed so the head could be machine-washed. The mop has braided microfibers for texture and absorption, and it can be used wet or dry. The self-wringing technology means you don’t have to touch a dirty mop. Mangano said you can use hot water with lemon for mopping, if you don’t like to use chemicals.

2. Stick vacuum

You don’t need a large, expensive vacuum in a small place, Mangano said. But you do need a lightweight one with a cord. She said cordless models don’t have enough power.

For a basic model, she suggested a stick vacuum. The Dirt Devil Vibe 3-in-1 Corded Bagless Stick Vacuum ($39.99 at target.com) is great for a quick pickup and doesn’t take up a lot of room in a closet. This versatile design cleans both area rugs and hard floors and has a removable handheld vacuum. It is sold with a crevice tool and an easy-empty dirt cup.

3. Organizing accessories

A cluttered area is probably also a dirty area (after all, it’s hard to dust under piles of stuff). Mangano suggested getting special organizing items for your kitchen, bathroom, home office and bedroom that can

help to keep everything neater and cleaner and also make it easier for you to find your things. One example is the Expandable Undersink Organizer ($39.99, containerstore.com).

This organizer can be adjusted to fit under the pipes in your kitchen sink or in a bathroom vanity.

4. Bucket

A bucket is one of the most basic of household cleaning essentials.

You need a bucket to use a mop properly, but you can also use your bucket to store cleaning supplies in one place. So, Mangano said, a utilitarian item becomes a storage space saver and a way to transport your cleaning supplies around your apartment. The basic Rubbermaid 11-quart Neat-N-Tidy bucket would set you back less than $10 ($8.49, acehardware.com).

5. Microfiber cloth or mitt

A microfiber cloth attracts dirt and can be used in hard-to-reach places such as the top of the refrigerator and around the computer. Mangano said you can use a mitt to dust underneath furniture and to clean bathroom cabinet shelves that get gummy with residue from shampoo and other products. She likes using a mitt because it is washable instead of disposable. The Fuzzy Wuzzy Microfiber Mitt ($5.99, containerstore. com) has two sides: a nubby chenille side for dust and cobwebs and a smooth side for wiping and polishing. It’s perfect for cleaning without chemicals and safe for computer monitors and TVs.

UP CLOSE Superheroes in Morris Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – The streets of downtown Morris were overtaken by superheroes Saturday afternoon, as more than 150 participants came out to the inaugural Morris Woman’s Club Superhero 5K Fun Run/Walk.

The event was faced with cool weather, but the sun was shining as the participants, dressed straight from their favorite comic strips, lined up to start the race on Washington and Liberty streets.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the United Service Organizations, more commonly known as the USO. In keeping with their theme, the club had real-life superheros start the race. The Morris Color Guard, consisting of local veterans, fired the round that sent racers on their way.

Hundreds turn out to oppose Great Lakes Basin rail project at first meeting 29 MANTENO – About 300 people packed into the Manteno Sportsmen’s Club on Monday night to speak out against a proposed privately funded $8 billion rail line project that would cut through the region’s farmland.

Monday’s gathering was the first of several public scoping meetings held by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board, which is the governmental agency responsible for approving or denying the project on its merits while examining potential environmental impacts.

The proposed Great Lakes Basin railroad project would run 278 miles, stretching from southern Wisconsin to Indiana in a C-shape and cutting through LaSalle, Grundy and Kankakee counties. The line would service up to 110 trains each day moving up to 70 miles per hour.

Project leaders say the rail line would expedite freight movement in the Chicago area.

But opponents said the railroad would slice farmland in two, destroy drainage tiling, create dead-end rural roads and block critical surface water. Others said it would destroy wildlife within the Kankakee River State Park.

Joe Bessen, of Gardner, said the rail line would cut through his family’s nearly 150-year-old farmstead. It would also damage his business – a state-licensed hunting and shooting preserve, Old Goat Bird Hunting Inc. “It looks like we’re just a pass through. There’s not really any tax benefits for our people. It’s going to tear people’s lives and farms apart,” he said. “We take all the risks, but get no benefits. … It’s just going to ruin people’s lives.”

David Navecky, an environmental protection specialist with the STB’s Environmental Analysis Office, said the goal of the public scoping meetings are to hear from landowners so

he and the office can gauge the environmental impact of the project.

After the public comment period, the STB will draft a statement that includes environmental impacts, proposed alternative routes, and preliminary mitigation options.

“One thing I want to stress is that this is just the first step in the process. We’ve been following the press reports, which notes that the Great Lakes Basin folks say they want to start construction in 18 months,” Navecky said. “Well, this is a long process and it’s probably a minimum of two or three years before we even complete the environmental review process.”

Donor and Partner Appreciation Night soon

In October 2014 our Challenges of the Future event was titled “Is Grundy County a Retirement Friendly Community?” That day we were lucky enough to have two experts in the field of gerontology speak to the audience – Lisa Hollis-Sawyer, gerontology program coordinator at Northeastern Illinois University, and Lucia Jones, executive director at Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging.

Both speakers discussed the amenities and services needed to allow senior citizens in Grundy County to lead full and productive lives. Senior citizens who attended were given the opportunity to make their wants and needs heard. Since that time, the Community Foundation of Grundy County has been interested in continuing the discussion on senior citizens in Grundy County.

After the October 2014 event, we

VIEWS Devan Gagliardo began convening the Senior Network bi-monthly. This group is composed of local organizations that serve senior citizens in Grundy County. The Senior Network has been looking at gaps in services within the community and how that affects our senior population.

Another main purpose of this group is to network and share information pertaining to seniors.

The Community Foundation of Grundy County is happy to announce that Lisa Hollis-Sawyer will be back in Morris on Monday, May 5, for the Community Foundation’s Annual Donor and Partner Appreciation Night.

The event is held from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Morris Country Club. Hollis-Sawyer will be speaking on her new book, “Women and Positive Aging: An International Perspective.” Hollis-Sawyer’s book looks at research relating to women and aging, examines the comprehensive range of issues for aging women, and discusses how to put the research into play in addition to several other aging issues within this population.

Hollis-Sawyer has been a phenomenal resource for us in the past when discussing Grundy County’s aging population, and she continues to be a go-to person when questions arise.

She has also been generous enough to take the time to talk with foundation staff regarding “long-term, big picture” ideas for Grundy County’s senior citizens. Hollis-Sawyer has been a wonderful asset and we are looking forward to having her back in

Grundy County. She is someone you won’t want to miss!

In addition to Hollis-Sawyer, the Senior Network members have been invited to have a booth at the Donor and Partner Appreciation Night to ensure those in attendance are aware of the current resources available to senior citizens in Grundy County.

Invitations will be sent out to all of our donors and partners; however, we would welcome anyone interested in hearing Hollis-Sawyer speak. The event is free, but does require an RSVP by calling 815-941-0852.

If you are an organization who serves seniors in Grundy County and is not connected to the Senior Network, but would like to be, please contact Devan at 815-941-0852.

Business Spotlight: Outside In by Cappenollie opens in Morris SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – The Grundy County Chamber of Commerce’s recent Business Spotlight highlights a new home décor shop in downtown Morris, Outside In by Cappenollie.

The shop, located at 124 W. Illinois Ave. in Morris, is owned by Valerie Baker and Kristal Hutchings and employs four people. It is a unique vintage boutique and features more than two dozen vendors providing an eclectic mix of old, new, upcycled, handmade and vintage treasures.

“We are a family-owned and operated business. My daughter and I created and grew our business over the last four years. We have taken a new approach to the traditional antique store by incorporating old, new, upcycled, heirloom, collectibles, gifts, handmade and items for the do-it-yourselfers. We have many vendors that participate in filling the store with new items daily,” Baker said.

“We want to become a well-known destination shopping location for the community of Morris,” she continued.

The store is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

OPINIONS

Gov. Bruce Rauner has hit a brick wall trying to persuade House Speaker Michael Madigan to come to the negotiating table to talk about ending the long governmental impasse and then working out a budget deal. So, after holding numerous public appearances to demand a sit-down, Rauner shifted gears last week when his two Republican legislative leaders trotted out a new spending plan to provide $1.3 billion to fund human services and other programs.

The proposal would partly be funded with some pension reforms that Republicans claim will save $780 million. The reforms include pushing off pension costs to local schools and to higher education institutions for salaries above $180,000 a year and for some accounting changes. But there are relatively few employees making over $180K a year, and the $780 million is about a third of the state’s annual “normal costs” for pensions, so it seems somewhat difficult to believe that these savings are actually as high as billed.

And even if the money is real, the $1.3 billion GOP proposal is significantly smaller than either appropriations bill passed by the majority parties. The Senate Democrats’ spending plan was pegged at about $3.8 billion, with half of that going to social services.

The bill could generate some interest among rank-and-file Democrats worried about the implosion of the state’s social safety net as a possible next step in the negotiating process.

For instance, the legislation appropriates more than $10 million for the Adult Redeploy program, which diverts nonviolent offenders from prison terms.

The most intriguing aspect of the Republican bill is what’s not in it – at least not yet. None of Rauner’s usual anti-union “poison pills” are attached.

The governor has demanded the passage of several reforms as a precondition to talking about the budget, but none of those are overtly attached to this new Republican proposal.

The GOP legislation also gives the governor some spending transfer authority within the budget, but it appears to be much more limited than earlier demands for near dictatorial control over moving around just about every state dollar as he saw fit.

And while the GOP appropriations bill may not actually be fully funded

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller by its pension component, it certainly has more funding behind it than either Democratic plan out there right now.

And still more funding could be found by using part of the Democrats’ proposal, which includes forgiving about $450 million in loans from special state funds (an idea the governor previously had said he could probably live with).

The idea, it appears, is to present a far more “reasonable” GOP face than in the recent past – and put Madigan on defense both for hiding behind his incessant political games and for refusing to come to the bargaining table and allowing the state to crash and burn while waiting for the governor to cave.

An official close to Mayor Rahm Emanuel said last week that his boss and Rauner have regularly spoken with each other despite all the harsh public back and forth sniping between the two men. But Madigan just doesn’t believe that private talks with the governor will work because they obviously haven’t borne fruit since this crisis began in late May of last year when the Democrats rammed through a hugely unbalanced budget that was then almost completely vetoed by Rauner.

I totally get the lack of trust the Democrats have for this governor. He has broken confidences, broken his word and attempted to break their, um, stones by hurling insults for months.

But it’s not like anybody’s doing anything else while we all wait around for Armageddon Day. If private negotiations are off the table, then something else has to happen. Private negotiations are obviously preferable to public negotiations, but private negotiations are off the table right now because Madigan says so (and he has his reasons, some better than others). And public negotiations are better than no negotiations at all. And since public negotiations are what we’ve likely been seeing lately, we’ll have to take what we can get.

Hopefully, we’ll see a counteroffer from the Democrats soon.

State’s attorney Jason Helland and Pastor Esther Holiday after a recent discussion on sex trafficking.

House of Glory to host state’s attorney for talk SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Pastor Esther Holiday of the House of Glory for All Nations invited Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland to discuss with church members the topic of sex trafficking.

Helland shared his concerns about this issue and offered his help, according to a news release from Holiday.

Holiday said her goal is to house a few women in her own home and help them get a new start. She said she will speak to local groups to promote awareness and volunteering to meet her goal. For information, email houseofglorychurch2005@yahoo.com.

Help the Earth by showing it some love

Welcome to April, which is Earth Month. The Grundy County Land Use Department has many events scheduled this year and this month, and so we would like to assist the residents in becoming a more environmentally sensitive community that also enjoys the sustainability aspect as well.

Conservation of water

World Water Day is held March 22 of each year. Gardening and designing your yard and landscaping is a great way to aid in water retention correctly on your own yard and saving money in water bills (municipality).

Consider bio gardens where you use the natural soil conditions or wetness so that watering may not be necessary throughout the growing season. Wet areas of your yard are more difficult to maintain. By planting native species that are more adept to those conditions, you will create a beautiful garden area that is low maintenance.

Collection of water

Using water barrels is great way to

COMMUNITY PULSE Heidi Miller

harvest the rainwater from your roof and repurpose or be self-sustaining for your property.

Water barrels are found in all hardware stores and online in many colors and designs to meet your needs.

Planting trees

Help in the conservation of electricity as mature trees that shade your home help to prevent your air conditioner from having to work overtime.

Composting

Composting is another way of becoming a more self-sustainable family by preventing greens (vegetable/fruit/ plant matter) and browns (dried yard waste) from being landfilled (15 percent to 20 percent of landfill volume).

Our office currently is selling for $50

single-body composters that may be stationed anywhere in your yard.

Gardening is a great way of becoming self-sustaining; therefore, what better way of closing that loop than creating your own compost from your yard/kitchen waste.

Visit the Land Use Department webpage at www.grundyco.org/land-use for information on composting and vermicomposting (with red wiggler worms).

Pollinators

Bees are a great way to keep your garden growing and productive.

Having more species of plants to help the bee and other pollinators thrive is a huge assistance to all of the county.

Providing a varied amount of nectar- and pollen-producing flowers that are also native species helps twofold by helping the pollinators stay in healthy numbers and saving water.

It also has been suggested that using pesticides and fertilizers that are more bee- or pollinator-friendly is also helpful to those species.

Cleaning

Spring cleaning is a must and we are all active inside and outside our homes in getting those chores completed.

Using natural cleaners such as lemon, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda may provide a great source that cleans and also protects your family/environment from chemicals that are found in most cleaning solvents and solutions. Essential oils added to your homemade cleaning solvents adds enhanced cleaning and provides fragrance to the home. There are many website that provide combination of materials for desired cleaning.

Thank you, Grundy County, for your support in the objectives of our office.

Take care and love your Earth.

Top team at Channahon St. Baldrick’s raises more than $6,000

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – The first team in the Channahon St. Baldrick’s Day head-shaving line-up was the one that raised the most money – The M-Dog Bald Cupcakes, who raised more than $6,000 this year, which will go to medical research on prevention and cures for childhood cancers.

Team members were “M-Dog” Maddy Holloway, a freshman at Minooka Community High School; Tara Callahan, a Morris Community High School freshman; Barb Boma, of Morris; and Cary Margaron, of Bridgeview.

Three of the team were head-shaving veterans. The team was organized by Holloway, who first participated in the event when she was in sixth grade. She started a team the following year, with her grandfather, Margaron. Last year, it was those two, her Uncle Joe Wagner of Crete, and family friend Boma.

“You’re helping kids with cancer,” Holloway said, “and it’s like a lifetime experience.”

She was a little nervous the first year, but those butterflies have long since flown away. Her friends and classmates have always been supportive, she said, but now in high school, she said she knows there are a lot of students who will be unprepared for her bald head come Monday morning.

RIGHT: Cary Margaron (from left), Maddy Holloway, Barb Boma and Tara Callahan were Team M-Dog Bald Cupcakes, the team that raised the most money for Saturday’s St. Baldrick’s Day in Channahon.

Boma has kept her hair pretty short most of her adult life, she said, ever since she got wallpaper glue in her long locks years ago.

“I heard about this, and I figured, what’s another half inch,” she said with a laugh.

Callahan, however, was nervous standing in line waiting to get her first shave, but with her long brunette hair in a braid down her back, and a good goal in mind, she bravely took a seat in front of

the stylist.

“I’m thankful for my health,” Callahan said, “and I want to help kids who are not as healthy as I am.”

Channahon Police Department officer Michael Lazzari and his buddy, Illinois State Police Sgt. Scott Angus, brought the event back to the village nine years ago. In that time, Lazzari said, $340,000 has been raised just at the Channahon event alone.

“This community really gets behind

this event,” Lazzari said. “It’s a great community.”

Lazzari thanked all the volunteers and those who participated. Among many others who helped, he said, Jean Chudy managed the check-in, Erin Spinola ran the raffle, the Channahon Police Cadets had key roles, and XPO Logistics brought in equipment and shaved their heads.

Chudy said 80 heads were shaved at the event, the youngest of whom was 3 years old.

ICS fifth-graders graduate from D.A.R.E.

By SUBMITTED REPORT

MORRIS – On April 5, Immaculate Conception School and the Morris Police Department held the fifth-grade D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony at ICS. The students participated in the 11-week program, which focuses on teaching the students life skills that will help them make positive decisions as they grow up.

The program further stresses how being drug free helps build a foundation for the rest of their lives.

Lt. Nicholas Doerfler of the Coal City Fire Protection District was the featured speaker. Lt. Doerfler is also a 1995 ICS graduate who was a graduate of the D.A.R.E. program.

He told the students that there are 1,440 minutes in a day and many times a person is defined by the decisions and choices they make in those 1,440 minutes.

He also spoke about what it meant to be true to themselves and not let bad influences change their values, they can become anything they choose to become. He also told the students how important it is to have

As part of the 11-week D.A.R.E. program, each student was required to write an essay on what they learned in D.A.R.E. and why they think it is important to be drug and violence free.

Finley Johnston was chosen as the class representative from Mrs. Rhonda Johnson’s class and she read her essay as part of the graduation ceremony.

She received a medal and a D.A.R.E. sports ball for her accomplishment.

Each D.A.R.E. graduate received a D.A.R.E. T-shirt and certificate recognizing their achievement.

Patrol Officer Jessica Smith, also an ICS graduate, was the instructor for the program this year.

HOFFMAN ESTATES – They did it again.

Century 21 Coleman-Hornsby once again earned the Pinnacle Quality Service Award from Century 21 corporate.

This is the highest national award for outstanding customer service that an office can achieve.

Twelve agents from Century 21 Coleman-Hornsby recently attended the Century 21 Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Awards Banquet, held at The Stonegate Conference Centre. During the awards ceremony portion of the evening, the office was recognized for earning the Pinnacle Award for outstanding customer service.

To achieve the Pinnacle designation, Century 21 Coleman-Hornsby received a customer satisfaction rating of 98 percent or higher for more than two years in a row. Throughout 2015, surveys were sent from the Century 21 corporate office to all clients in the country who either bought or sold a property using a Century 21 agent.

“For over 12 years Century 21 Coleman-Hornsby has consistently earned the Pinnacle Quality Service Award,” company owner Shawn Hornsby said. “It is great that so many of the people with whom we have worked reported that our agents exceeded their expectations.

“To be the second-highest fundraiser for Easter Seals among so many other offices, many much larger than ours, is truly awesome. We raised nearly $10,000 for Easter Seals in 2015 that will be used

to serve Easter Seals clients right here in our community,” Shawn Hornsby said.

MORRIS – When Matt Johnson of Newark asked to direct one of the Morris Theatre Guild’s productions this year, he knew exactly which play it would be: “The Fox on the Fairway,” by Ken Ludwig, with permission of Samuel French Inc. Although he is new to the Guild, he isn’t new to directing and previously has presented the show at the Indian Valley Theatre in Sandwich.

“Audiences really enjoyed the show,” Johnson said while actors rehearsed Friday night. “I thought it would be fun to direct again, and we brought local humor into the show.”

Johnson isn’t the only newcomer to the Morris Theatre Guild. Actor Brian Pross of Yorkville, who has worked with Johnson before, joins the cast of actors – Erica Quirk, Bill Gillespie, Jenna Stinson, Joe Ennenbach, and Annie Ficht-Kowalcyzk – who have graced the Morris stage before.

“I’ve worked with Matt before and I wanted to branch out to work with different people,” Pross said. “I like the character. He’s kind of a neurotic freak, which I can relate to.”

the line around the metropolitan Chicago area to expedite freight movements across the nation and to provide additional capacity for growing railroad traffic.

“The proposed preferred route is on the web. It is not written in cement,” Patton said. “In May, we are going to try to start talking to everyone on the route.”

He said in addition to bypassing the Chicago rail terminals – which can postpone freight delivery as much as 30 days – the additional rail line could get an estimated 1 million trucks off the roads. Fewer trucks mean a lower carbon footprint, and less damage to roads, Patton said.

According to the Great Lakes Basin website, the proposed route takes into account the location of towns, residential areas, greenfield territory and the locations where interchanges with other railroads will work.

What about the landowners?

The Webers say the proposed railroad will destroy their business.

“People enjoy the peace and quiet of the country,” Nick Weber said. “We already have 80 trains a day going by on the existing railroad. This will bring another 100 a day.”

Michelle Weber said they were considering running electricity to the primitive crib that serves as a shelter and a checkout stand. They were even considering constructing a pole barn to give them more space.

With the uncertainty of the proposed tracks, those expansions don’t seem to make sense now. The farm is more than business for Michelle Weber, however.

“For me, this land has a bunch of memories. It’s upsetting,” she said as she started to cry. “This is my childhood. I never thought I’d be a farmer.

This is where I played and grew up and rode in a tractor with my dad.”

There are other concerns, too. Brad Male, a resident on Filman Road near Gardner Road, said he is worried about his home and the equity he has in it.

“How close is too close to a resident’s home?” Male said in a phone interview.

“What will it do to my property value?”

He said he put 20 percent down on his home when he purchased it, and he thinks the addition of the rail line will put him upside down in his mortgage – something he never thought possible when he bought the rural residence.

Patton said he has taken such concerns into account as he and his partners try to get the railroad approved,

and has a three-point offer to landowners.

He intends to offer a rate of approximately $20,000 an acre for a 200-foot right of way, a price he said is well above the average $10,000 an acre that farmland is getting in the area.

He also would offer free electricity to residences on the rail right of way for as long as current or immediate family members live at the home.

“We are seeking a 200-foot right of way. 150 foot of that is for current and future tracks, 50 foot of it is for a

utility corridor,” he said. “We think this will be an estimated savings of $300 to $400 per month for the residents who receive electricity.”

The third point – one Patton feels isn’t completely understood – is offering every piece of property along the right of way local rail access. That would allow those who own land along the tracks to get more money if they sell their property to a developer that wants rail access.

Minooka’s Joe Butler drives around Joliet Catholic’s Jared Lenoir during their Dec. 12 game, which the Indians won, 52-48. is either played above the rim or 25 feet away. Butler’s specialty was in between.

“It’s a different game at the next level,” he said. “I am no Steph Curry, and I am not a dunker, either.

“I loved going out there and playing with my teammates every day. We have been playing together since sixth grade, and we got more and more confident each year. One of the goals this year was to finally win the conference, and we did that. And, to give that 1977 regional banner some company. Hopefully we started something and sparked some interest in Minooka basketball so it isn’t another 40

years until there’s another one.”

With the offensive talents spread around the team with the all-around play of the Butler brothers – Joe and Jonny – along with the outside shooting of Larry Roberts and the Graebner twins (Keegan and Kyle), the physical size and presence of Blake Parzych underneath and the spark of Nick Clemmons off the bench, it would have been easy for Tanaka to let the Indians run wild and try to score 80 points a game. But his philosophy is that it’s hard for the other team to win if they don’t score, so the Indians predicated their game on tough defense and not

caring which one of them scored.

It worked, and Joe Butler was a big reason why.

“No team loves to play defense,” he said. “But that’s what coach wanted us to do, so we did it. We actually got to where we liked doing it. We really frustrated teams and made it hard on them to get their offense going.

“On offense, we were so deep that on any given night, any of the five starters could have a big game. If Larry got hot, he would carry us. If my brother was more aggressive and took it to the hole, he would. If Blake had a mismatch underneath, we’d get it to him. We were a tough team to prepare for.”

His coach knows it may be awhile before his program sees another player like Butler, but he hopes his influence lasts.

“It’s his whole body of work that we are going to miss,” Tanaka said. “We had a very balanced team this year, and that’s a credit to Joe Butler, too. He could have made sure he got his 20 points and 10 rebounds a game if personal numbers were all he was interested in. But he was more interested in the team’s number of wins and he sacrificed his personal numbers for that.

“Still, as balanced as we were, everyone knew who our go-to guy was. It was Joe. He also took pride in playing defense and I hope his example continues in our program.”

MINOOKA – Next year, Joe Butler of Minooka will no longer wear the black and orange. Instead, he will be wearing the red and white of the Illinois State University baseball team.

But no matter what may happen in his future, he will never forget his senior season as a member of the Indians’ basketball team. Nor will many who saw him play.

All Butler did was post team-high numbers in scoring (15.4) and rebounding (6.2) averages while leading Minooka to its first-ever Southwest Prairie Conference boys basketball title and its first IHSA regional championship since 1977.

For that, he was named the Morris Herald-News’ Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

Not a bad honor for someone whose athletic future lies in another sport. But that fact just underscores the special type of talent Butler possesses. Some of his other accolades include IBCA 3A/4A fourthteam all-state, AP 4A honorable-mention all-state, co-MVP in Southwest Prairie Conference, All-WJOL Thanksgiving Tournament, All-York Christmas Tournament and All-Galesburg MLK Tournament. He averaged 15.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 56 percent from 2-point range and 75 percent from the free-throw line. Not to mention the intangibles such as leadership and mental toughness.

“Joe Butler is the backbone of Minooka basketball,” Minooka coach Scott Tanaka said. “He plays with the technique, toughness, intensity and togetherness that we pride ourselves in. He did everything on the floor for us and was instrumental in our first SPC championship in school history and first regional championship since 1977.

“What the fans saw on game nights was what we saw as coaches and teammates every day in practice. Nobody worked harder day in and day out as Joe, and it rubbed off on everyone.”

The 6-foot-2 swingman had the capability of playing anywhere on the floor, and he was a mismatch for most anyone.

If he went up against someone bigger than he was, he was able to use his quickness to get around him. If a smaller player could match his quickness, Butler used his size and strength to get to the hole.

As good as Butler was, the fact remains that basketball on the next level

“That’s just them stringing hits together like they did,” Morris coach Todd Kein said. “When you score runs in bunches like that in a game, defensive miscues don’t really get the spotlight in my mind. They hit the ball today. Yeah, we didn’t help them, but give them credit. They swing the bat.”

Walker took the loss on the mound for the Redskins, pitching three innings and allowing 10 hits for 12 runs – only two earned – with three strikeouts.

“Our pitcher had a rough day locating the ball, but that’s to their credit and putting the swings on that they did,” Kein said. “He’s a better pitcher than he showed today, that’s for sure.”

SYCAMORE – Jack Mizgalski certainly helped himself on Monday.

The junior had a big day at the plate and on the mound for the Sycamore baseball team and the Spartans cruised to a 12-1 win over Morris in five innings in the conference opener on a windy afternoon in Sycamore.

Mizgalski threw a complete game, allowing three hits and striking out seven on the mound. Offensively, he went 3 for 4 with three doubles and two RBIs as the Spartans (6-2 overall, 1-0 in Northern Illinois Big 12 East) collected 12 hits as a team.

Morris (5-8 overall, 0-1 in Northern Illinois Big 12 East) actually jumped out early against the Spartans, after Danny Borgstrom led off the game with a double and scored on a single by Matt Walker.

Mizgalski struck out two batters to end the inning and Morris got a runner past first base only one more time the rest of the way.

Borgstrom finished 2 for 3 with a pair of doubles and was the only player to get a hit after the first inning for Morris.

While both teams committed errors on the day – Morris had four, Sycamore had three – the Spartans allowed no runs off their errors and scored 10 unearned runs on Morris. Sycamore, which got the leadoff batter on base in

Morris softball team wins NIB 12 opener over Kaneland STAFF REPORTS MAPLE PARK – If the opening game is any indication, the Morris softball team should have an interesting time navigating the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference schedule.

The Redskins (8-1, 1-0) were locked in a 0-0 tie with Kaneland on Monday through four innings. In the top of the fifth, Morris’ Amanda Jenkins led off with a double to right. She was sacrificed to third by Jasmine Cook and scored on a sacrifice fly by Melissa Benson.

Morris added a run an inning later. Winning pitcher Abby Burns led off with a single. Courtesy runner Claire Gugerty was sacrificed to second by Emily Moore and scored on a single to right by Ryan Friend to provide the final tally in a 2-0 win.

That was more then enough support for Burns, who went the distance in a three-hitter, striking out nine.

Friend finished with two of Morris’ six hits, while Jenkins (double), Burns, Ashley Phelps, Gigi Corban each had a hit.

Morris lost the JV game, 17-16. It was the first loss of the year for the Redskins (4-1, 0-1). Abbey Moore paced the offense, going 4 for 5 with a double and four RBIs. Sam Machietto (2 RBIs) and Olivia Schultz (5 RBIs) each had a home run among two hits, while Bayli Doss was 3 for 5 with a triple. Losing pitcher Claire Robbins also had three hits and three RBIs.

With outdoor gear, you get what you pay for February was amazing. So far, April has been less than a memorable month.

Rain, sleet, wind, and even snow, have left outdoors enthusiasts scrambling for the most important gear they own.

Day-in-and-day-out, outdoor clothing is essential to having an enjoyable experience.

I first learned about the difference between what I thought was good gear, and what actually is good gear, during my tournament days.

Every angler owns a rainsuit.

Mine, like lots of people, consisted of the economical, plastic variety.

This is not a problem for the average fisherman. When the weather is brutal, most recreational anglers are not on the water.

When the tournament schedule landed on one of the most horrendous storms Northwestern Arkansas had seen for a while, my cheap stuff reared its ugly side.

Water saturated every inch of my body.

The cold wind compounded my

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers discomfort and soon my mind was no longer on catching fish, but instead I focused on the hot shower back in the hotel room. With my mind in the wrong place, the fish never manifested themselves on the end of my line.

I watched more professional anglers pull up and weigh in good bags.

They all had one thing in common.

Each one of them donned very expensive rainsuits. Sitting like a soaked dog in my boat, I finally understood the importance of quality equipment.

It wasn’t long thereafter and I dropped a few hundred dollars on my own set of rain gear that could withstand a hurricane.

It hurt the pocketbook, but I have now owned it for years, worn it

many times, and my comfort level for fishing in the rain has never been better.

In fact, I don’t mind heading out on a dreary day at all. Most likely, I’ll have the lake to myself.

The same thought process applies to not only hunting, but every imaginable outdoor activity.

If you like to kayak, birdwatch, hike, or even rock climb, having the right gear makes all the difference.

The only down side is the price.

The adage you get what you pay for most definitely applies to outdoor clothing.

I have never been disappointed in an expensive piece of clothing, but I have bought, pitched, bought, pitched, and bought the cheap stuff again and again.

The biggest advancement I have seen in outdoor apparel has been in the warm weather gear. Modern microfibers have revolutionized the clothing industry.

These fabrics are lightweight, breathable, and comfortable. The days of sweating bullets and soaking

through a heavy, hot, shirt are over.

In fact, many outdoors folks are now wearing these lightweight fabrics to not only keep cool, but to ward off the sun’s harmful rays.

Long-sleeve shirts with face covers are available at every major retailer.

I see folks participating in all facets of the outdoors wearing these garments, and enjoying their time outside because of it.

If some years have passed since your last major outdoor clothing purchase, you may want to check out the latest offerings.

The clothing industry has changed drastically in the last decade.

Yes, the price tags have gone up as well, but I think that a quality product that will not only last, but help you enjoy your favorite pastimes, is worth the consideration.

Gear up, get out there, and enjoy your time in our wild and beautiful world.

By PRUDENCE HILBURN More Content Now

Haven’t we all wished that we could eat the foods we love that are quick and easy to make from recipes that are low in sugar, fat and calories? It would be a dream come true. Doesn’t seem possible, does it?

I was thrilled when I started to scan the new cookbook I recently received.

Seeing beautiful photos and recipes so well written that you can almost taste them makes me want to head to the kitchen.

Marlene Koch, a registered dietician, is the author of “Eat What You Love ... Quick and Easy Cookbook.”

Her previous books in the “Eat What You Love” series have sold more than 700,000 copies.

The author’s concept in writing this particular cookbook can be found in the introduction, where she says, “If you’ve ever tried giving up the foods you love for your health, you know just how difficult it can be, but in my world, you don’t have to!”

Even those who are on a gluten-free diet will be pleased with this cookbook. How about being able to enjoy a delicious Almond Joy Smoothie made to taste like the popular candy bar?

Or perhaps some Double Chocolate Pancakes, Chicken BLT Salad with Ranch Dressing, Better-Than-Ever Stovetop Mac and Cheese, Chinese Pepper Steak or 2-Minute Microwave Pumpkin Pie? These are just a few of her gluten-free recipes.

Koch has some “dare to compare” notes after some of the recipes. She makes the comparison between her “good-for-you foods” and those that you might enjoy in a restaurant or in some of your favorite commercially prepared foods.

For instance, she dares to compare her 15-Minute Coconut Cream Candy Bar Pie with a well-known food expert’s commercially prepared Coconut Cream Pie. In her book, she states the name of this company. The commercially prepared pie has 649 calories per slice and has 37 grams of fat. Koch’s pie has 190 calories with 10 grams of fat. Quite a difference.

One of the foods I “love” is pasta of all kinds, but I have always been told that this is not good for you. I can hardly wait to try her “Penne Pasta with Sausage and Kale,” as well as “One Pot BBQ Chicken Pasta.” I also “love” stir-frys, and they are perfect for a spring lunch.

I am intrigued by her Bourbon Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry. She

states that this dazzling stir fry is made special with a sweet Chinese “bourbon” sauce (no bourbon required). She compares this with a Beef and Broccoli dish from a Chinese restaurant. Their dish contains 669 calories, 35 grams of fat and 3,260 milligrams of sodium. Hers has only 200 calories, 2 grams of fat and 610 milligrams of sodium.

This extraordinary cookbook will be available for purchase on April 26, so be sure to put a note on your refrigerator to go cookbook shopping on that day.

BOURBON CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STIR FRY

½ cup light or regular apple juice

Broccoli adds crunch and flavor to a healthy stir-fry.

Robert Owen-Wahl - FreeImages.com

¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon molasses 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 ¼ teaspoon minced ginger ½ teaspoon minced garlic 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal 2 teaspoons oil 1 cup sliced onion 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced 4 cups broccoli florets ¼ teaspoon black pepper In a small bowl, whisk together first 6 ingredients. Place carrots in a microwave safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute.

Heat oil in large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add onion and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it starts to turn translucent.

Add chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until barely done. Add carrots and broccoli to the pan and stir to combine. Pour in the sauce, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Uncover pan and stir until sauce coats ingredients and broccoli is tender. Sprinkle with black pepper and serve.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory Now that their romance has ended, can Sheldon and Amy (Jim Parsons, Mayim Bialik) just be friends? They put that notion to the test in “The Platonic Permutation,” as they go to the aquarium together on Thanksgiving. Wolowitz, Raj, Bernadette and Emily (Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Melissa Rauch, Laura Spencer) spend the holiday as volunteers at a soup kitchen.

Businessman and inventor Elon Musk appears as himself.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Embodied by Josh Brolin in a 2010 feature film, the character Jonah Hex is given life by Johnathon Schaech (“That Thing You Do!”) in the new episode “The Magnificent Eight.” The story lands the Legends in the Old West, where their run-in with outlaws means trouble for an entire town ... along the lines of the classic movie “The Magnificent Seven,” which this story clearly takes its title from. Arthur Darvill and Brandon Routh star.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones The medical-mystery series resumes its 11th season — its next-to-last one — with the new episode “The Death in the Defense,” which catches up with Hodgins (TJ Thyne) as he continues to deal with his new physical condition.

While concerned about him, Bones and Brennan (Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz) have another investigation, leading them to interview the multiple suspects who could have wanted a public defender dead. Michela Conlin also stars.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Odd Couple With Felix (Thomas Lennon) gone for the weekend — thanks to his big plans with Emily (Lindsay Sloane) — Oscar (Matthew Perry) takes the occasion to throw a big party in the new episode “Unger the Influence.” Murphy (Geoff Stults) assists in the preparations, but the result isn’t exactly what was intended. Wendell Pierce and Yvette Nicole Brown also star.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ The Blacklist Red (James Spader) appears to be the only hope for the task force in the new episode “Mr. Solomon: Conclusion,” as one of their own is in peril following a tragedy. Usual procedures likely won’t work for a rescue attempt — and if anyone is a master of the unconventional, it’s Red. Liz and Tom (Megan Boone, Ryan Eggold) worry about a possible hurdle for their impending parenthood. Harry Lennix and Diego Klattenhoff also star.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD American Grit WWE veteran John Cena has made a mark in movies (“12 Rounds,” “Trainwreck”), and he moves into the reality-competition-show arena with this new series premieres with “Ruck Up.” Cena is an executive producer as well as the host, as 16 contenders are divided into four teams and mentored by military members in

8:01 p.m. on ^ WBBM Mom Bonnie’s (Allison Janney) relationship with Adam (guest star William Fichtner, “Crossing Lines”) proceeds, with Christy’s (Anna Faris) support and encouragement, in the new episode “Caperberries and a Fat Detective.” The problem is that the closer Bonnie gets to him, the less terrific Adam looks to her. Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly and Beth Hall also star.

9 p.m. on % WMAQ Game of Silence After Tuesday’s “preview” airing, the new drama offers its regular-time-slot premiere, “Blood Brothers.” Jackson (David Lyons) tries to prevent Marina (Claire van der Boom) from finding out he’s united with Gil and Shawn (Michael Raymond-James, Larenz Tate) in their revenge plan. He may not be able to keep the secret, though, since personal enemies and police detectives are on the longtime pals’ trail. Bre Blair and Conor O’Farrell also star.

9 p.m. on _ WLS The Catch Actress Regina King (“American Crime”) directed the new episode “The Princess and the I.P.,” which brings the firm a government agency as a client.

FRIDAY

7 p.m. on _ WLS Last Man Standing Country-flavored comedian Bill Engvall guest stars in the new episode “The Marriage Doctor,” playing ... well, pretty much what the title says.

The character is the new minister at the Baxter family’s church, and Mike and Vanessa (Tim Allen, Nancy Travis) meet with him after having a spat. Eve (Kaitlyn Dever) seeks help from Ryan (Jordan Masterson) as she prepares to take a debate role opposed from her usual political views. Molly Ephraim and Amanda Fuller also star.

Russell Hornsby stars in “Grimm” Friday on NBC. 8 p.m. on @ WFLD Hell’s Kitchen Now with black jackets, the remaining contestants go back to school — literally — in the new episode “5 Chefs Compete.” They have to prepare lunch for teen students, who determine the winners who get a VIP trip to San Francisco.

9 p.m. on + WTTW Jazz A very specific part of the title genre is the focus of “Swing: Pure Pleasure,” as the encore of Ken Burns’ 2001 documentary series continues by showcasing the big-band music that made legends of such conductors as Benny Goodman. However, its popularity wasn’t unanimous among listeners — some of whom actively lobbied to keep what then were the traditions of jazz in place. The career of one of the form’s most iconic artists, Billie Holiday, also is considered.

SATURDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Movie: Hear My Song Hallmark Channel now debuts most new “Hallmark Hall of Fame” offerings, but the franchise returns to CBS with this theatrical-movie acquisition (initially titled “Boychoir”) that stars Oscar winners Dustin Hoffman and Kathy Bates.

Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park also star.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ Grimm On this series, a severed head has to be considered an indication of the potential for greater peril. The episode “Inugami” makes that discovery the springboard for Nick and Hank (David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby) to probe a traditional method of revenge followed by Japanese members of the Wesen. Adalind (Claire Coffee) returns to legal work and soon encounters Eve (Bitsie Tulloch). Keiko Agena (“Gilmore Girls”) and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa guest star.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank Ashton Kutcher returns to the series as a guest Shark in this new episode, focusing on ideas of entrepreneurs who all hail from California.

Neal’s (Charlie Saxton) devotion to something takes Barry (James Earl) to try to help him break the habit.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Little Big Shots Billy Joel generally may be known as the “Piano Man,” but he might get competition from someone in this new episode — namely, a 9-year-old who’s quite proficient with the 88 keys. He’s one of the youngsters who amuses and dazzles host Steve Harvey here, with another proving quite skilled musically: a jazz singer who hails from Norway. A 6-year-old dancer who generated a stir on the Internet also is featured.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Once Upon a Time Elements of “The Wizard of Oz” factor into a new episode appropriately titled “Ruby Slippers,” directed by Eriq La Salle (“ER”).
