Keeping trash where it belongs is everyone’s job In the course of editing stories that appear in recent edition of the Morris Herald-News, I was inspired to make a decision that I probably should have made a long time ago. No more littering for me. I am not saying that I was a habitual litterbug before, but from today forward, I make a conscious effort to not do it at all. Many times – far too many, in fact – it just seemed easier to let an occasional wrapper or drink container slip out the window of my car rather than wait until I could get somewhere that had a proper receptacle for it. But, after reading about numerous cleanup efforts being undertaken across the county – from Seneca in the west to Channahon in the east – the right thing seems to be to make those jobs easier by not putting any litter out there to begin with. Take a drive and look around. The countryside is beautiful. The grass is

Trees are sprouting their leaves and flowers are starting to show themselves. You might see all of this and say, “What’s one wrapper or drink container going to do to spoil it?” and be tempted to roll down that car window and let it fly. But stop and think a second. What if every car you saw had that same thought? Pretty soon, those fields wouldn’t be green. They would be white, brown or whatever other color trash people were pitching out of their cars.

something out of their own window. As soon as they see you do it, you make it easier for them to do it, and the domino effect begins. It’s just as easy to keep your piece of whatever it is you are throwing out in your car and wait until you get to your destination to throw it in the trash can. If you think you might end up somewhere with no trash can, think ahead and bring a small bag with you so that you can throw it away when you get home. Think about how bad things would look if every car you passed decided to throw just one item out the window. Then, think how much better things would look if every car decided to not throw an item out. Be a leader. Don’t use the side of the road as your trash can.

COVER STORY

Proposed route through Shabbona Reservation has its environmental impact considered By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Editor’s note: This is the second in a three-part series on the proposed Great Lake Basin Railroad project. MORRIS – A proposed railroad line that would cut through prime farmland in Grundy County would, if built as recommended, also go through land that was deeded in the 1800s to the chief of the Potawatomi. The route of the proposed privately funded $8 billion Great Lakes Basin Railroad has the line crossing the Illinois River from Erienna Township landing in a unpopulated grove of trees before it continues on toward Mazon. “Where it is coming across the river is 20 acres of land that is called the Shabbona Reservation on the plat map,” Norman Township Supervisor Art Kleinfeldt said. Kleinfeldt, a nearby resident to the historical reservation, said he doesn’t believe the railroad can or should be allowed to take property owned by the descendants of Shabbona. A handwritten deed filed for record in September 1854, five years before Shabbona died, is included in the Grundy County tax assessor’s office file on the property. The deed states: “This grant is to be held in trust for the use and benefit of Shabena (commonly spelled Shabbona locally) Indian Chief of the Potawotomie [sic] tribe and his heirs forever, the use rents and profits thereof to be enjoyed by the said Shabena and his heirs exclusively.” The property has held a tax-exempt status since the time it was given to the chief, and was renewed as tax exempt in 1993 with the State of Illinois. The Great Lakes Basin Railroad project would run 275 miles from La Porte, Indiana, to Milton, Wisconsin, cutting through Grundy and LaSalle counties locally. Those spearheading the effort filed paperwork in March with the federal Surface Transportation Board, which triggered a series of public hearings, called scoping meetings, and the beginnings of an environmental impact study. The last such meeting is Thursday in Seneca. Frank Patton, founder and managing partner of Great Lakes Basin Transportation Inc., said Monday that he couldn’t comment while scoping meetings are ongoing on whether he

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Norman Township Supervisor Art Kleinfeldt points Monday to his backyard where the Great Lakes Basin Railroad would be located, if constructed. The rail line would continue through Kleinfeldt’s home and several burial plots, including the Shabbona Reservation.

GET INVOLVED Residents are invited to file scoping comments regarding the proposed Great Lakes Basin Railroad. Comments are due by June 15. Please refer to Docket No. FD 35952 in all correspondence, including e-filings, addressed to the board. n Scoping comments may be submitted electronically at www.stb.dot.gov by clicking on the “E–FILING” link on the home page and then selecting “Environmental Comments.” Accounts are not needed to file environmental comments electronically, and comments can be typed into the text box provided or attached as a file. Anyone having difficulties with the e-filing process should call 202-245-0350. n The public is invited to attend scoping meetings. The one closest to Grundy County is scheduled for 5:30 to 8 p.m. April 21 at Seneca High School Auditorium, 307 E. Scott St. The meetings will include an open-house format for the first hour, followed by a presentation by the STB’s Office of Environmental Analysis and an opportunity for public comments and questions, STB officials said. n Scoping comments also can be submitted by mail to: Dave Navecky, Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20423-0001, Docket No. FD 35952.

Source: Surface Transportation Board knew the land was owned by descendants of Chief Shabbona or what he would do to avoid the area. Patton wants to build the line to expedite freight movement by providing

an interconnection for existing Class I railroads that operate in the Chicago area. The proposed route would enter Grundy County south of South Wilm-

ington 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. 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. Kleinfeldt said he has also heard from other residents that there are unmarked cemeteries in the township that don’t appear on any maps that may end up in the path of the railroad. “I know there is a Norman Township Cemetery, but I’m not sure where it is and I think it’s overgrown now,” he said. “One farmer said there are headstones behind his house that are knocked over and some have been moved. I think that is the Norman Cemetery.”

Students gather for ExxonMobil science expo By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – Jessica Janicki and Brianna Gillson explained the successes and misses of their “lettuce grow food” science experiment to a crowd of parents. The duo, along with their science club team from Minooka Intermediate School, attempted to use a mix of water and popular household solutions to grow lettuce. “It was interesting to figure out which liquids would make the lettuce grow best. I thought it would be salt water, but sugar water and water were the best,” Gillson said. On April 13 at Channahon Junior High School, more than 160 sixththrough eighth-grade students from Minooka, Channahon, Troy and Rockdale schools took part in the seventh annual science expo, sponsored by ExxonMobil of Joliet. The students, all in after-school science club, broke up into teams, came up with a project that involved the scientific method and had to present their creation to a room full of parents and teachers. “This event was a lot of work, and I am proud of all of the students,” Mi-

Science is all about learning.” Tricia Simpson, Midwest public affairs manager at ExxonMobil, said this year’s theme was science of the future and stressed that the event always has created an environment in which students are free to succeed and fail, which is a part of science. According to Simpson, there were 40 more students this year than last year. “I think we are growing because teachers do a terrific job making science fun and interesting. Students also

proud of their children’s accomplishments. “My daughter loves this kind of stuff,” Brian Lowell of Minooka said of his daughter, Kayla Lowell, of Channahon Junior High. “She comes home and talks about the success and failures of her project. She had a good group of kids, and I know they had fun with the project.” Failures were the main part of a team from Troy Middle School. Seventy-five percent of the way through their perpetual motion creation, the three students realized they never would finish and had to change gears. “We only had three meetings left to build, and we had to talk to the teacher to switch our project. We learned to keep trying and zone in,” seventh-grade Troy Middle student Aidan Brown said. Although the students were excited and nervous to present to their parents and teachers, many said they learned a lot from the projects of their peers. “This expo was very cool,” Troy Middle seventh-grader Patrick Olson said. “It captivated more interest because there were a lot of topics covered, and there was something for everyone.”

Seneca man arrested after allegedly firing gun in bedroom

SENECA – A Seneca man was arrested by Seneca police last week after police said he fired a gun inside a home. According to a release from the Seneca Police Department, officers were dispatched at 5:09 p.m. April 13 to a residence on North Main Street for a report of a shot fired and a possible hostage situation. Upon arrival, officers were informed all people in the home at the time of the alleged discharge of the weapon were outside and the alleged shooter, Jeremy Hahn, 28, of Seneca, was in his bedroom with a gun. Officers then entered the home, but Hahn was not inside it. While conducting a search, officers located in the bedroom a .357 Magnum, a .22-small caliber handgun, a shotgun and an AR-15 rifle. They said they also found a bag of .22 cartridges, a box of 9 mm cartridges and a bag of .357 cartridges. Hahn’s girlfriend told officers they had found all guns and ammunition in the home, according to the report. While the investigation was underway, Hahn was convinced over the phone to return to the home, where he was arrested and charged with aggravated discharge of a weapon and possession of a weapon without a FOID card. Hahn was arrested and transported to the LaSalle County Jail.

Police: teen charged after selling cocaine to undercover agents MORRIS – A Morris teen has been charged with multiple drug offenses after being arrested last week. John Simpson, 18, of Sharon Drive, is charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana, according to Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan. Simpson sold cocaine to undercover agents with the Joliet Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad on multiple occasions, Callahan said, and after obtaining a warrant for his arrest, law enforcement executed the warrant at his home on April 13. While there, they also found additional drugs, according to Callahan. Simpson was then booked into the Grundy County jail.

Rauner visits Grundy County By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – Gov. Bruce Rauner was in Grundy County over the weekend to serve as keynote speaker for the county Republican Party Central Committee’s “Lincoln Day Luncheon.” Rauner made time to talk about how critical it is for Republicans to win seats in the Illinois House and Senate in the upcoming election. But he also focused on the state’s budget battle, blaming longtime Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan and a Democrat-controlled majority for the state’s failings. Illinois is 10 months into the current fiscal year and still is without a spending plan. “What we really need in Illinois is major structural reforms for the long run,” Rauner said. “The [Illinois General Assembly] has a Democrat majority, so it’s hand-to-hand combat. But I will never give in.”

Rauner outlined some of the key reforms needed to turn the state around: term limits, local control for collective bargaining contracts, local government consolidation, workers’ compensation and tort reforms, and procurement reform. He also accused Madigan and other Democrats of “causing a crisis” to push a tax hike, saying he will only support a “truly balanced budget” with increased revenue and even then will only do so when Democrats agree to business-friendly and pro-growth reforms. Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said he viewed Rauner’s speech as “positive, but a call for action” in reforming Illinois. Welter, who also serves as vice chairman for the Grundy County Republican Party Central Committee, said he agrees with Rauner’s interest in giving governments local control over collective bargaining and consolidation.

MORRIS – At least 12 vehicles in the Deer Ridge subdivision of Morris were broken into last week. The Morris Police Department made the announcement April 14 and added the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, LaSalle County Sheriff’s Office and the Ottawa Police Department have received multiple reports of vehicle burglaries in the past two days. Based on the preliminary investigation, the incidents appear to be related, the department said. “All the vehicles were unlocked,” Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said via phone. “We put out a notice just last week that warned people to lock their doors.” The release went on to say that in such situations, suspects generally walk down the street and flip car door handles until they find one that is open. A short drive west of Deer Ridge, Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said one vehicle across from Morris Country Club on Route 6 was broken into overnight. The department asks that anyone who noticed suspicious activity overnight of at any time, please call Detective Sgt. Alicia Steffes at 815-9416283. Additionally, it asks anyone in Deer Ridge with surveillance cameras in their homes to contact Steffes.

Mustang destroyed in Wilmington area car fire

WILMINGTON – Wilmington firefighters responded last week to a car fire in the rural Wilmington area. About 4:30 p.m. April 15, the Wilmington Fire Protection District was called to the blaze on Wilmington-Peotone Road a half-mile east of Route 53, according to district Lt. Stan Czajkowski. Upon arrival, firefighters found the Ford Mustang fully engulfed in flames, Czajkowski said. The driver, a teen girl, said she had smelled smoke and pulled over to look at the vehicle, then found that the back of the car was on fire, according to Czajkowski. Although the Mustang was destroyed, the girl was not injured. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

MORRIS – The Saratoga Community Consolidated School District 60C unanimously approved Monday the 2016-17 calendar, which includes changes to early release teacher in-service days. Saratoga Principal Joe Zweeres said the school wants to change the usual 1-hour early release days into 3-hour early release days to further professional development of the teachers. “With the amount of training, curriculum work, committee work and other professional development needs that exist, it was decided that three-plus hour blocks, eight times throughout the year, would allow the needed time to complete all of these school improvement tasks,” Zweeres said. Zweeres said beyond providing the training, this new idea should save the district money, as it will decrease the number of times substitutes are needed for teachers. The district will work with Morris District 54 on the schedule to ensure busing runs smoothly, because of the shared bus services amongst local dis-

tricts. “Our goal was to plan this now so we could communicate it well in advance of next year so parents have plenty of time to plan for them,” Zweeres said. “The final piece will be coordinating the exact dismissal time of each building on these days and this will then be all communicated to our school community.” Also approved unanimously was the lease of two 77 capacity school buses, which will be shared by districts 60c, 54 and 101 in Morris. Superintendent Kathy Perry said more students will qualify for transportation now that Shabonna Middle School and White Oak Elementary schools will be housed in one building in District 54. “The total cost for the buses is $55,000 to $60,000. The additional cost to Saratoga will be around $12,500, with the rest shared between Shabonna-White Oak and Morris High School,” Perry said. Perry said the three districts combine to buy the buses, with costs divided due to pro-rated miles for each district. “Any time we add a vehicle, every district needs to pay their portion,” Perry said.

MORRIS – Sirens wailed, motorcycles roared, flags waved and people cheered Saturday as they stood along Route 47 as Morris resident Spc. Brent A. Johnson Jr. was welcomed home from a nine-month deployment in Afghanistan with the U.S. Army. “I thank God he brought him home to us, and thank God for putting his arms around my family during this time,” said Johnson’s mother, Bonni Johnson. According to Brent Johnson Sr., his son arrived Saturday morning at O’Hare Airport and the family was escorted by Chicago Police out of the city. As they came closer to Morris, flags and fire trucks were visible on overpasses along the Interstate 80 corridor, and once they hit Morris, an escort of Morris Police, Grundy County officers, Morris Fire, American Legion and Patriot Guard riders led the way to the Moose Lodge south of town. “I can remember when Brent Jr. would ride on the back of his dad’s motorcycle with the American Legion Riders for welcome-home rides,

and now he’s the one we are welcoming home,” Illinois Patriot Guard ride coordinator Bob Richards said. “He’s just a kid. God bless him for what he does, because that’s why we have freedoms.” Once at the Moose Lodge emotions ran high as tears of joy ran down the faces of aunts, sisters and Johnson’s mom. With tears in his eyes, Johnson thanked those involved in his escort. “Thank you to the Patriot Guard and American Legion Riders. It’s a shame my friend Steven Hancock couldn’t be here today. He was who kept me motivated and driven while I was over there. Thanks again and go Cubs,” Johnson said. Hancock was killed in a training accident while active as an U.S. Marine. Johnson said he only recently became a Cubs fan because he watched baseball and other sports while deployed to keep his mind off the bad stuff going on. His late grandfather was a Cubs fan, so he chose that team over the White Sox. Johnson said he missed grass the most and was thankful for the air. “The air feels great. The air is so different over there,” he said. Now that Johnson is 21, he promised to have his first beer with his

MORRIS – The Morris City Council approved, 6-1, the fiscal 2016-17 budget Monday, with Alderman Randy Larson voting against it. Alderman Jeff Wachowski was absent, and Sid Nelson participated via telephone from Oklahoma, as he was there for work. The budget has an estimated cash balance of $29.1 million, $1 million more than last year. It has estimated revenues for this fiscal year of $25.5 million, with estimated expenditures of $42.29 million. The city anticipated there would be needed infrastructure upgrades as more businesses are coming to the area and existing ones expand. Money was set aside and carried as a positive cash balance to allow for the projects. While the city typically puts out a deficit budget, several unfunded mandates by the EPA account for some larger-than-normal expenditures. Mayor Richard Kopczick said the water and sewer fund is seeing a large increase due to the required National Pollution Discharge Elimination System upgrades, as the EPA says the city has to eliminate its sanitary sewer overflows. Another expense is due to the sewer treatment plant expansion for the Cost-

co expansion. The budget also takes into account about $700,000 in capital outlay, which the board approved for the Route 47 expansion from Interstate 80 to Minooka Road. Kopczick said the cost includes lighting and sidewalks along a portion of the highway to Saratoga Road. An additional $2.5 million is budgeted for the Combined Sewer Overflow study required for Phase 3 of the discharge eliminating system upgrade. The budget also shows a possible transfer of $4.3 million from TIF 1 to TIF 2, to pay for a proposed project at the community landfill, which will take the balance in TIF 1 down to $155,324. “To me it’s a little concerning,” Larson said. “I’m not worried about next year, I’m worried about the next five years. I’d rather be on the conservative side.” Kopczick told Larson that nothing in the budget “has to be done.” He said that if the board votes against it, it can be changed. This is the second budget City Clerk Carol Adair has put together for Morris and she said she budgeted items with room to cover any anticipated costs, although she doesn’t believe the city will spend all that is budgeted. “We have a history of not spending what we have budgeted,” she said.

MORRIS – Morris residents and business owners may want to check with their insurance provider after June 1 to see whether they are eligible for a decreased premium on their fire insurance. The Insurance Service Office Public Protection Classification of the Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District will be changing June 1, said District Chief Tracey Steffes. “Many insurance companies use PPC information for marketing, underwriting, and to help establish fair premiums for homeowners and commercial fire insurance,” Steffes said. “We plan on having an open house in the near future to provide more information to property owners and to answer questions.” The Insurance Service Office is an independent company that services insurance companies, communities, fire departments, insurance regulators and others by providing informa-

tion about risk. The company collects information about municipal fire suppression efforts in communities throughout the United States, Steffes said. Data are analyzed and fire districts are assigned a Public Protection Classification grade number one to 10, with one representing an exemplary fire suppression program and 10 indicating that the program does not meet minimum criteria. The group started evaluating last September the 140 square miles the Morris district protects. The sixmonth review showed that the district has improved. The PPC for properties within 1,000 feet of a City of Morris fire hydrant went from a 4 to a 3. Properties farther than 1,000 feet but within 5 road miles of a fire station went from an 8 to a 5, which Steffes said is a significant change. “Currently there are 3,056 fire departments in the country with a PPC of 3,” Steffes said. “Morris is currently one of those departments.”

Once the recycling event is rescheduled, Welter said, the county will share the time and location with the public so they can continue to legally dispose of their electronics. “We will make this right for the citizens, and give them an opportunity to be able to recycle their electronic waste,” Welter said Saturday.

MORRIS – An electronics recycling event scheduled for Saturday morning in Morris had barely begun when it ended abruptly because of a dispute between Grundy County and its recycling vendor, New Life Electronics Recycling Inc. of Oswego. The Grundy County Board voted in March to renew a contract with New Life at the cost of 9 cents a pound for all televisions. However, Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said Monday that New Life never signed the

contract. “The Land Use Department didn’t successfully enter into an agreement,” Helland said. “New Life never signed the agreement after they counter-offered with 18 cents a pound.” Residents who showed up a half hour after the event was scheduled at Environtech Landfill in Morris were turned away. The county did come up with an alternative location to drop off the electronics, which was at the county-owned Animal Control Building on Dupont Road. The dispute between New Life and the county started when residents attempted to drop off more than one television, New Life President Matthew Gatz said Saturday.

Gatz said his company agreed to provide its services for Saturday’s event at the 2015 TV processing rate while negotiations continued. He said New Life did so on the conditions that it would accept only one truck – weighing 15,000 to 20,000 pounds – of TVs, and that attendees would be limited to one TV a car. He said that isn’t what happened. “Dump trucks and trailers were coming in piled with TVs,” he said. When the event failed to meet New Life’s requirements, the company left, Gatz said. He said he’s unsure whether New Life will move forward with its contract negotiations with Grundy County. “The objective was to have an event for local people to dispose of their electronics legally,” Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor said Monday. “That didn’t happen Saturday and for that reason we will work with a different vendor to have the electronics that were dropped off at the Animal Control

Police: Two people arrested Sunday in Morris Suspects allegedly had heroin, children in car By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A tip from a confidential informant led police Sunday to the arrest of two people who were charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver while children were in their car. Just after 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Grundy County sheriff’s deputies awaited the arrival of Anna M. a male and female in Makarczyk an older-model silver Buick Century at WalMart in Morris. According to the arrest report, the informant stated the two were returning from C h i c a g o t o m a k e a Chris J. heroin delivery in the Cameron store’s parking lot. Within minutes, deputies surrounded a vehicle – and the two adults inside it – that matched the in-

formant’s provided description. The passenger, Anna M. Makarczyk, 26, of Ottawa, was asked to step out of the car. While Makarczyk continued to deny she was in possession of anything illegal, one of the deputies was already placing the driver, Chris J. Cameron, 30, of LaSalle, under arrest. As deputies requested a female officer for assistance, Makarczyk removed two packed foil wrappers and one empty foil wrapper from her pocket, according to the arrest report. One of her two children, who were in car seats, began to cry and she was told to take care of them. Cameron, according to the report, was “honest and forward” and had already handed over five clear gram bags of a brown powder substance. A total of 7.2 grams of the substance, which later tested positive for the probable presence of heroin, was recovered from the individuals and in a search of the car. While being processed at the Grundy County Jail, Makarczyk allegedly told the arresting deputy she wanted

Fear Causes More Pain Than a Root Canal

No one wants to hear a dentist say those two little words, “root canal.” A third word immediately comes to mind. Pain. Yet today, that fear is most often unfounded. It comes from the reputation this procedure built up in past decades before “comfort” became a major goal in modern dentistry. In fact, a recent survey showed that patients who have experienced root canal treatment are six times more likely to describe it as “painless” than patients who have not had root canal treatment, according to www.aae.org, the Website of the American Association of Edodontists. “It used to be pretty painful and take a long time. Now, it is pretty painless and can be done in one appointment,” said Dr. Eric Salud, lead dentist at Complete Comfort Dental in Channahon. “Most people need it because they are already in pain. Once they are in pain, it’s is

harder to get the tooth numb, but the whole point is to save the tooth so they can use it” without pain. Most insurance covers a root canal, and it is less expensive than such procedures as having the tooth extracted and replaced with a bridge, implant, or removable partial denture. Basically, the area of the tooth X-rayed and then numbed. Anesthesia may not be necessary, since the tooth nerve is dead, but most dentists still anesthetize the area to make the patient more relaxed and at ease. A rubber “dam” is then places around the tooth to keep it dry. An access hole is drilled, and the tooth pulp and bacteria are cleaned out with a series of tiny files. The tooth is sealed, and a covering such as a crown is placed over it to restore the tooth to normal use. There is no feeling. And no feeling means no pain.

Small barn catches fire Friday By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Wind blew embers from a rubbish fire to a small barn, causing it to catch fire and resulting in about $10,000 in damage in rural Morris last week. The Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District responded about 12:30 p.m. Friday to a farm at 2305 Nelson Road, northwest of town, for reports of a structure fire. Morris Fire Protection Deputy Chief

Bob Wills said that as the rubbish pile burned, strong winds shifted at some point and carried enough embers to the roof of the barn to create flames. But firefighters from Station 2 on Ashton Road, which provides a direct route north to Nelson, were on the scene in five minutes. The fire was under control within 15 to 20 minutes, Wills said. Firefighters applied water from the outside and inside and were able to save the building. There were no injuries. “The guys did a fantastic job put-

Here are answers to frequently asked questions provided by these local businesses. If you have a question for one of these businesses call 815-942-3221 or mail your question to Expert at the Morris Herald-News 1802 N. Division St., Suite 314, Morris, Il. 60450. All ads are paid advertisements.

I’ve heard of a Buyers’ Market and a Sellers’ Market. What are they and which one are we in now? A sellers’ market is when there are more buyers than there are homes on the market. During a sellers’ market, there are often multiple offers on properties and properties sell much faster. This results in increasing homes prices which is good for sellers. In a buyers’ market there are more homes on the market than there are buyers for those homes. In a buyers’ market, sellers compete against one another for the few buyers that exist. Often times sellers will lower their price to compete with all the competition. This results in declining home values which is good for buyers.

Morris 815.942.9050

Yorkville 630.553.9300

Sandwich 815.786.9451

Last month there was a 3.1 month supply of homes on the market in our local area. This is down from a 4.8 month supply in March of 2015 and down from a 7.2 month supply in March of 2014. We have moved from a buyers’ market two years ago to a very strong sellers’ market today! What does this mean? Houses will sell more quickly and often with multiple offers on them. So when you see the home that you like, don’t hesitate to make an offer. Otherwise another buyer may have the home under contract before you act.

Is glaucoma a genetic disease? I have a cousin that has it and I am wondering whether I should be checked too.

Jeffrey J. Blanco, O.D.

Yes, there is a genetic predisposition for glaucoma. Open angle glaucoma, which accounts for 90% of glaucoma cases, has a familiar component and therefore is in part due to heredity. However, blood relatives of people with glaucoma often don’t realize that they too are at risk.

Real estate experts agree that a buyers’ market is deﬁned as having greater than a 6 month supply of homes on the market and a sellers’ market is when there is less than a 6 month supply of homes on the market. When there is around a 6 month supply of homes that is a balanced market resulting in stable home prices.

Q: What are the benefits

www.C21.com

A study named the Help the Family Glaucoma Project began approximately 10 years ago. Researchers interviewed 102 people with glaucoma and 300 family members, the majority of whom had a college education. In both groups about 80% knew that glaucoma may be hereditary, but 20% did not. Given that family members of those with the disease have a 10 times greater risk than the normal population, you should be having your eyes checked if you have a blood relative that has glaucoma.

MORRIS – New Grundy County Assessor Doug Anderson, who started his four-year contract March 21, resigned less than a month after taking the supervisor of assessments position. Anderson said his reason for leaving has nothing to do with the county, and instead concerns a personal issue related to an anonymous letter sent to county officials. “There were some comments sent to the County Board that I feel would hurt my credibility going forward,” Anderson said. “It’s a wonderful county, and I enjoyed my time there.” Anderson filled the position seven months after Stephanie Kennedy resigned in August. “I am very disappointed that Mr. Anderson made the decision not to continue as the supervisor of assessments in Grundy County,” Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said in a news release. “We will begin working immediately to fill this position as soon as possible.” At the time Anderson was hired, County Administrator Doug Pryor said Anderson had served as the assessor for Bourbonnais Township in Kankakee County for many years and that ex-

perience would be an asset to Grundy County. Anderson said he had remained the Bourbonnais Township assessor after taking the job as Grundy County assessor and that the county was aware of that. He said this was one issue addressed in the anonymous letter. Welter said the county was aware Anderson was remaining Bourbonnais Township assessor for a few months until certain job requirements had been met. Anderson said that although he has resigned from his position in Grundy County, he will remain the Bourbonnais Township assessor and plans to run for the position when his term is up. “We are grateful to the staff in the assessor’s office for all of the hard work they have put in to help the county through our recent vacancy in the supervisor of assessments position,” Grundy County Tax Committee Chairman John Roth said in the news release. An interim supervisor of assessments will be appointed by the Tax Committee, and the appointee can serve in that role for up to 60 days. The vacancy will be posted immediately and will be available for viewing on the Grundy County website at www. grundyco.org.

Junk in the Trunk Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – Junk in the Trunk returned during the weekend to Morris with more than 70 vendors who sold an array of items – from toy planes, trains and automobiles to tools, books and old license plates – out of their vehicles. Co-founder Ken Willis said the turnout was as good as the bright sunshine that fell on the parking lot behind Walgreen’s, and added that was looking forward to another successful year. Junk in the Trunk will be held the third Sunday of each month through October. Darlene Fagen of Joliet came down and secured the parking space next to her friend Jean Agney of Crest Hill so they could get rid of some extra items lying around the house and enjoy the company of friends.

TOP RIGHT: One seller at Sunday’s Junk in the Trunk event had bi-wing airplanes created from various pop and beer cans. TOP LEFT: At one vendor’s table at Sunday’s Junk in the Trunk event, shoppers could find older train and Army vehicle toys to buy. ABOVE LEFT: Toy cars and trucks from various eras were on sale Sunday. ABOVE RIGHT: The first Junk in the Trunk sale kicked off Sunday morning with bright sunshine and warm weather that brought out more than the typical average vendor count of 50. LEFT: Jean Agney of Crest Hill has set up her wares at Junk in the Trunk. Since she and her husband were married a couple of years ago and had to combine two houses into one, the couple have extra items to get rid of.

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – Channahon trustees unanimously approved the village’s 2016-17 budget Monday, allocating $30 million for expected revenues and $30 million for expenses. Finance Director Heather Wagonblott said the budget is conservative and village finances remain in a “stable financial position.” Revenues in the general fund are planned at $12.9 million, with expenses at $13 million; capital improvement revenues are $5.89 million, with expenses of $5.88 million; and capital infrastructure revenues are $1.02 million, with expenses of $1.52 million. With revenues from Channahon’s profitable rebate fund gone, the village expects to receive $10,000 from interest income in the fund, while drawing out $1.14 million from the fund’s reserves. “We are drawing down from the re-

and Interstate 55 corridor. The budget also includes expense increases in health insurance premiums, payroll and building repair and maintenance. The board also approved raising fees for water cross-connection inspections, with Trustees Sam Greco and Mark Scaggs voting against the measure, saying after the meeting that the increases were excessive. Several older homes in the village use private well water, which connects to the public water supply. The village contracts plumbing inspections of these pipes each year to make sure there is proper backflow prevention in place – a service for which the village pays $62.50 per residence plus in-house costs, but for which it charges residents only $35. The proposal approved Monday will increase the annual fee residents pay from $35 to $100. The cost of any additional inspections needed will also

Skills, contributions from employees matter

I had the wonderful opportunity to speak to local students at Morris High School during their recent career day. These bright young adults are just starting to think about their future careers (although during my talk I’m sure they were spending more time concerned about the upcoming baseball game or spring prom). Every year, students are encouraged to think about career paths earlier Certainly, with the global economy and advances in technology, the opportunities are vast – however, so is the competition. Acquiring skills has never been more important for students and adults. Learning and upgrading profes-

VIEWS Nancy Norton Ammer sional skills is a lifelong commitment. After high school, post-secondary education and/or training is required. The old model of getting a quality job right out of high school and learning the skills on the job are few and far between. Rather, companies are looking for young adults who already have certain certifications, qualifications and education. Thankfully our local Joliet Junior

College is responding to the employer demand for high skills with its Operations, Engineering and Technician program. This program is designed for the flexibility of entering the workforce after two years or continuing on for a bachelor’s degree. The local trades have always done a great job of teaching and demanding high skill performance through their apprenticeship programs. Many times the programs are so competitive that having some experience before applying greatly enhances the chance for success. Learning and acquiring new skills never stops. Even when a person stays in the same profession or company,

there are always technological advances that require training and updating skills. Lifelong learning means your contribution and value grows with the years. The employee that is content to do the same job, the same way year after year, runs the risk of being passed by. Employees should look at the chance to receive additional training, certifications, and skills as an investment in themselves. The past recessions have taught employees that skills and contributions matter.

OPINIONS

“The governor has linked things together,” Senate President John Cullerton said at a speech to the City Club of Chicago in January. “We don’t have a budget because he’s got his ‘Turnaround Agenda.’ So I can link things together, too.” Cullerton was referring to his threat to not pass any funding for K-12 schools until school funding reform is addressed. Despite being repeatedly blasted by the governor and the Senate Republican Leader for planning to take schools “hostage” in order to “bail out” Chicago’s school system with his funding reform plan, Cullerton has not publicly backed down from his statement. The governor surprised many Democrats last year when he vetoed the entire budget except the K-12 appropriations bill. He made sure that schools would open on time last fall, taking the potential for an extreme crisis off the table. Rauner doesn’t seem all that outwardly concerned about the carnage caused by the months-long government impasse, but he made absolutely sure to keep a K-12 shutdown from happening. Illinoisans are quite upset about this stalemate. Many are even downright furious. But imagine the outcry if schools hadn’t opened last year. The first-year governor would’ve been roasted over a spit, and he knew it. Rauner told reporters not long before Cullerton made his threat that last year’s school funding bill was the greatest achievement of his first year in office – even though he told Republican legislators to vote against the K-12 appropriations bill. Usually in battles like these, you try to prevent your opponent from achieving his main goal. And since the governor has let everyone know what his main goal is, it became a target. Cullerton reads newspaper editorials and often lets criticism get under his skin. There’s naturally a whole bunch of suspicion out there that Cullerton won’t follow through or will eventually relent under extreme duress. But the chance that Cullerton might not cave is helping to push this thing toward a conclusion. Rauner has essentially admitted multiple times with deeds and words that no K-12 approp

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller bill would lead to an utter catastrophe. And keep in mind that he has moved off the dime just about every time he’s been faced with a calamity that Republican legislators wanted to avoid. So while it may be downright wrong to threaten school kids, teachers and parents this way (and it is wrong, to the point of immorality), somebody had to do something to advance the ball. The General Assembly almost always waits until things hit a crisis point before it resolves a controversial issue. Obviously, there would be no greater crisis than the absence of K-12 funding and there has never been any greater controversy in this state than this standoff. If threatening to close down the state’s entire public education system doesn’t work, then nothing will. They’ll be arguing over a burned-out hollow shell of a state. Cullerton has taken a carrot-andstick approach. The stick is his K-12 threat. The carrot is the encouragement and assistance he’s offered rank-andfile legislators who have been attempting to privately find an end to this insanity. While other caucuses and the governor’s office now have staff helping out and are even talking with each other, Cullerton has been generous with his staff for quite a while now, deploying them to help work out issues. Speaker Madigan, meanwhile, was not encouraging of the rank-and-file talks. Allowing his staff to work with those members and to also talk with the other staffs is a hopeful sign to many. Another encouraging sign is that Rauner’s chief of staff has participated in some of the rank-and-file meetings as has Rauner’s chief legislative liaison and his budget director. That’s important because, obviously, nothing is going to get done without the governor’s agreement.

Grapevine Mission hosts organization’s 10th birthday For nearly a decade, nonprofit group has provided services to families in Grundy, Livingston counties By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grapevine Mission started 10 years ago when Judy and Mark Pershey of Dwight decided to form a nonprofit organization with Judy’s sister, the late Diana Holderfield, to help local families get food, personal care items and other necessities. Last year, the Persheys took a leap of faith and moved their operations from their home to a rented storefront in Dwight. “We opened our facility last April and were able to set hours where we were open to the public,” she said. “We served about 2,000 households last year.” While they are physically located in Dwight, their heart is anywhere they can provide help. “We help with food, clothes, Christmas and Easter, whatever our budget

“We opened our facility last April and were able to set hours where we were open to the public.” Judy Pershey

allows us to do,” Pershey said. A 10th anniversary celebration fundraiser is planned for Saturday at the Morris VFW, 309 McKinley St. in Morris, and is open to the public. Pershey said they will have a social hour starting at 5 p.m. followed by dinner, an auction and raffle items for those in attendance. The cost is $15 a person or $25 a couple.

Habitat is thankful for its volunteers Last month, Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity was recognized by the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry as 2016 Organization of the Year. We are so grateful for this recognition because our volunteers have contributed 20 years of hard work toward this acknowledgement. In July, Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity will be celebrating its 20th anniversary as a Habitat affiliate. As we were preparing for the awards night, I took some time to reflect on how we were able to get to 20 years, and my resounding thought was our volunteers. Until a couple of years ago, when I was hired as our first executive director, our organization was strictly operated by volunteers, and it largely still is. We currently have 11 board members who also serve as committee leaders. Each of those committees

COMMUNITY PULSE Sarah Peterson

meet regularly and do the important work of Habitat. Throughout the year, we can have as many as 75 active volunteers helping on anything from construction to finance to special events. When most people think about Habitat, they think of the volunteers who build our homes. Our Construction Committee is definitely the largest, with more than 35 volunteers who accrued more than 500 cumulative hours last year. Those numbers also do not account for the contractors who donate their labor. Most of our volunteers are what we consider “behind the scenes”

who serve on committees that do not involve construction. We have volunteers who help with office administration and operations, such as our Finance Committee. We have volunteers who serve on our “fun” committees, such as Special Events and Fundraising. Other volunteers like to help with either selecting our next partner families or supporting our current partner families. These committees are only a portion of the work that needs to be done but are essential to what makes Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity operate. As you can tell, volunteers are the heart of Habitat. We are deeply appreciative to all of our volunteers for giving time between work and family to help change lives of low-income families in Grundy County. It doesn’t take much to be a Habitat volunteer. You do not have

to be skilled in construction or even interested in helping build our houses. Most volunteers commit only a small amount of time throughout the year. If you are interested in becoming a Habitat volunteer, please visit the Volunteer page of our website and complete our online application and learn about our volunteer opportunities. For information about Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity, visit us at www.grundy3rivershabitat.org.

Hundreds attend Coal City Family Wellness Night By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent COAL CITY – For four years, Coal City resident Leon Steffes has walked through the Coal City High School gymnasium during the annual wellness night to learn about all of the health-related businesses available to him as he ages. “There are a lot of booths on health care for people my age and things I might need to use later on as I age,” Steffes said. “I enjoy seeing everything and there are a lot of businesses that said they are on Division Street in town that I never knew where there.” Hundreds of people filled the Coal City High School for the fourth annual Family Wellness Night held April 14. The event was sponsored by the Coal City Unit 1 School District Wellness Committee. “Five years ago, a Wellness Committee was formed to promote wellness in our district. The retention goes up, absentee goes down because people stay healthier,” Coal City Elementary Principal Chris Spencer said. “We formed this event to show people in the community the avenues for wellness and maybe someone will learn of an organization they weren’t aware of in the area.” The event had 70 business booths, involved in either personal or financial wellness, which catered to the entire family. There were also games available for the children as parents received in-

formation, and snacks were provided by six local food vendors in the cafeteria. Delilah Smit, 6, of Yorkville, enjoyed all of the free stuff she received at the booths, but she loved it when she met Bear, the school safety dog from Interquest Detection Canines. “He’s cute and nice and likes to give kisses. He helps other people and protects people from bad things at schools,” Smit said. “Also, does this place always give away free stuff?” Spencer said the school’s Student Council wanted to allow parents to enjoy the wellness night, so the students set up games in the gym, such as basketball, Hula Hoops and scooters to keep the kids active. In the auditorium, The On Broadway Dancers performed on stage, and asked boys and girls to dance on stage for exercise. “Everything we do in dance is fullbody fitness and [it] is one of the best forms of exercise. We want these young kids to be inspired to dance as well as inspire all means of exercise to stay healthy,” Broadway Dance Center artistic director Kim Scerine said. Spencer said the event has grown in businesses and attendees each year, and his goal was to have 1,000 people show up last week. “We are happy with the progress and to have a community event where 800 to 1,000 people come into our facility for a free family event which allows them to Allison Selk for Shaw Media spend time as a family, which is difficult Zach Henderson, 7, of Diamond linked together many scooters to race around the gym these days,” Spencer said. at the fourth annual Coal City Unit 1 School District Family Wellness Night on Thursday.

Students raise more than $2,500 in St. Baldrick’s event By ROB OESTERLE

BELOW: Derek Babson shows off his newly shorn head at the St. Baldrick’s event held April 14 at Morris Community High School.

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – When they started, the monetary goal of the Morris student body during their last week’s St. Baldrick’s fundraiser seemed pretty lofty. By the time they were done, they had raised double the amount. “Our goal was to raise $1,200 during the week,” Morris Student Body President Grace Tibbott said. “It was a class competition and we did it during lunches. It’s part of our Spring Week. “It started with Mr. [Josh] Williamson at $300, and kept going up, with Mr. Babson offering to get his head shaved if we raised $1,200. We had $1,970 at the start of tonight [Thursday], and we got more than $600 tonight alone, so we ended up with more than $2,600. It says a lot about how all the kids in school can come together for something.” While the prize of the April 14 event appeared to be Babson and his extremely full head of hair, Morris Principal Kelly Hussey raised the stakes. With 147 students in attendance, he told them that if they could raise $300 more and get the crowd to 300 people, he would sit in the shearing chair. The money wasn’t a problem – that came pouring in. Meanwhile, the students got on their phones and began texting friends, family and whomever else they could think of to get them to the school and see their principal go bald. The numbers increased rapidly when the sophomore and freshmen baseball teams finished their games and entered the gym en route to their locker rooms. Then, some of the students ran out to the circle drive and persuaded several parents waiting to give their kids a ride home to come

into the gym. By the time the varsity and sophomore softball teams returned from their games in DeKalb, Hussey’s fate was sealed. “I started this school year with a full head of hair and a beard,” he said. “Now I am bald. “It’s for a good cause, though. To see these kids come together like this is awesome.” Williamson and Assistant Principal Jeff Johnson were the first to get shaved, followed by Freshmen Class President Andrew Barlow and teacher

Ryan Hansen. After that, it was teacher Ben Brown and Babson, who drew the biggest cheer of the night. “I get my hair trimmed quite a bit, but I think the last time it was this short was birth,” Babson laughed after losing his trademark locks. “It’s definitely worth it, and it’s for a good cause.” St. Baldrick’s raises money for childhood cancer, and the cause hit close to home last week as 2011 MCHS graduate Ryan Bernickus died April 13 after a two-year battle with cancer.

MORRIS – There’s a growing buzz surrounding the practice of beekeeping. The Will County Beekeepers Association has more than 100 members who meet on a monthly basis, as noted by University of Illinois Extension Grundy County youth development educator John Davis. “It’s an easy hobby to get involved with,” Davis said. “It doesn’t cost much. The upkeep is easy once the hives are up. You can harvest the honey – and probably not make a fortune – but if you break even, why not do it?” Developing a hive, or hives, of your own bees can provide more than just honey and something to do. There’s a greater purpose to the relatively inexpensive hobby. Pollinators play a crucial role in the environment. Davis said bees account for more than 70 percent of all pollination. The extension office, located at 4004 N. Division St., Morris, will explore these and other ideas, from 9 a.m. to noon April 28. A beekeeping presentation will be led by Grundy/Kankakee/ Will Unit educator James Theuri, who specializes in local food systems and

Channahon to get new interpretive signs By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – New interpretive signs along the Illinois & Michigan Canal Trail and at other historic sites along the I&M Canal National Heritage Area will be interactive, with URLs and unique QR codes displayed on each of the about 300 signs. The redesigned signs will begin to go up this month or next, according to Canal Corridor Association President and CEO Anna Koval, and the prototypes will be in Channahon. Each URL will link visitors to a website with information about the site, and the QR two-dimensional bar code can be scanned by cellphones for instant connection to other information specific to the area. That’s where the individual communities, such as Channahon, can have their say. According to Koval, the association is working hand-in-hand with the various communities to provide all kinds of information about the area through the QR codes, including local history, area businesses and local attractions. “They might want information there on some services like nearby restrooms,” Koval said. “Or the closest Examples of interpretative panels for Channahon show what the I&M Canal’s new signs will look like. place to get your bicycle fixed. ...

MORRIS – About a week ago, Coal City’s baseball team beat Joliet Catholic Academy, 6-4. When any local team beats JCA in anything, that’s pretty big news. However, this one was part of an even bigger achievement, as it was the 500th varsity baseball win for Coal City coach Jerry McDowell. He entered the season with 490 wins, 475 of which had come as the Coalers’ head coach after winning 15 in one season at the Gardner-South Wilmington helm in 1988-89. He took over the head coaching job at Coal City High School in 1995-96 and posted a 17-5 record and the numbers quickly started to add up. He has had just one losing season and one in which the team finished at .500. Other than that, every season has seen Coal City win more than they lose, most seasons far more often. He is also the head coach at Coal City Middle School, where his teams have won 520 games and four state championships since 1988-89. He was also inducted into the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame last year. McDowell’s varsity teams at Coal City had won 74 percent of their games under his guidance entering this season, and they are 11-5 after beating Morris, 5-4, in eight innings on Saturday. “I guess I’m on the downslope toward 1,000 now,” McDowell joked. “I don’t think I will be coaching long enough to get there, but the 500 is a credit to the kids and my assistants who have helped me along the way.” Some of the highlights of McDowell’s run include a school-record 34 wins in 2000-01, a Class A state quarterfinal appearance in 2001-02 and a fourth-place finish in Class 2A in 200708. Only once in his 20 years has Coal City not finished first or second in the Interstate Eight Conference. His high school teams have won nine regional championships and six sectional titles, but are in the midst of an uncharacteristic post-season drought, not having won a regional crown since 2008-09. “For the most part, it doesn’t feel like I have been coaching long enough to have that many games,” McDowell said. “But, I have to admit, there are some days that I feel every one of them. “I’ve been lucky enough to have been blessed with a great staff [Greg Wills and Nate Wills have been his primary assistants over the years] and my wife, Bonnie, has sacrificed a lot. We’ve had some very good players

Coal City edges Morris in extra innings By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For area high school baseball fans, it didn’t get much better than Saturday morning at the Morris Community High School diamond. The weather was beautiful, a baseball-perfect 70 degrees or so, a slight breeze and two of the best pitchers around doing battle as Morris’ Matt Walker, an Illinois State University recruit, took the mound against Coal City’s Indiana University-bound Brad Littleton. The two teams didn’t disappoint, as the game was deadlocked 4-4 after seven innings and Coal City (11-5) scratched across an unearned run in the top of the eighth to score a 5-4 win and give coach Jerry McDowell his 501st career varsity victory. Though both pitchers eventually showed why they are each going on to play for Division I schools next year, the first inning was all about the offenses. Coal City staked Littleton to a 3-0 lead after an RBI single by Jared Skubic scored Nick Micetich, who had singled, went to second on a wild pitch and was bunted to third by Dillon Siejka. After Skubic singled to right to score Micetich, Walker struck out the next two batters. However,

Miracle had two hits, including a double, an RBI and a sacrifice for the Redskins. the second third strike was dropped and the throw to first sailed wide, allowing both Skubic and Littleton to score. Usually, a three-run lead for Littleton is a lock, but Morris came out swinging. Danny Borgstrom led off with an opposite-field double to left, the first of his three hits on the day. Jordan Miracle followed with a single to right and took

second on the throw home as Borgstrom remained at third. Walker followed with a single to right, scoring both runners to make it 3-2. “To come in trailing a pitcher like Littleton 3-0 and then get two runs in the first three hitters was huge,” Morris coach Todd Kein said. “We did a lot of things in this game we can take pride in.

It’s no secret that we’re a young team, but we are getting better.” Walker retired the next nine Coal City hitters, and Morris tied it at 3 in the bottom of the second when Borgstrom singled to center to score Ben Larson, who had singled, was bunted to second by Dylan Callahan and went to third on an errant throw. Callahan reached second on the play and Miracle bunted him to third. During a walk to Walker, Callahan was called out trying to score on a wild pitch. Morris (6-10) took the lead in the bottom of the fourth. With two outs, Borgstrom singled to right and scored when Miracle doubled down the left-field line. In the top of the sixth, Skubic led off by reaching base on an error and Littleton doubled to left-center to bring him home and tie the game at 4. With one out in the bottom of the sixth, Larson doubled to center and, with two outs, Miracle singled to left. Coal City left fielder Austin Mellen charged the ball hard and made a strong throw to third baseman Blake Harseim, who wheeled and fired home in time to nail Larson and keep the game tied.

“We had to send Ben there,” Kein said. “They had to make two good throws and a tag. Give them credit, they made the plays.” In the top of the eighth, Seijka led off with a single to right and was bunted to second by Skubic. Littleton was intentionally walked and Walker struck out the next batter for the second out. Ryan Horrie then hit a bouncer to second, but the ball was booted and Seijka raced all the way around from second with the winning run. Harseim took over

DEKALB – The Morris High School softball team put on an impressive display of clutch hitting last Thursday, putting five runs on the board in the top of the seventh inning to beat DeKalb, 7-5, in Northern Illinois Big XII action. “I told the girls that they weren’t gonna win the game with one swing,” Morris coach Jen Lowery said. “It’s gonna take all nine of us, one hit at a time. We need baserunners. That’s exactly what they did.” DeKalb (6-1) was up 4-2 with one out in the top of the seventh when Emily Moore and Ashley Phelps each reached base safely. After Ryan Friend scored a run, Amanda Jenkins knotted the game at 4-4 with an RBI single. “I was just thinking about how I was gonna move the runners around,” Jenkins said. After DeKalb induced another out, Morris pitcher Abby Burns came up to the plate and muscled a double down the left-field line. Burns’s double made it 6-4. “After the first two at bats, I felt like I started to see the ball better,” Burns said. “I struck out and made weak contact earlier in the game, but thankfully, I got into a groove and made some solid contact.” Melissa Benson went on to reach on an error, scoring Burns. After the third out of the inning was made, Morris led, 7-4. DeKalb made Morris sweat it out in the bottom of the seventh. Abby Taylor led off and ended up scoring to make it 7-5. DeKalb’s Skylar Haring hit a deep fly to left that was every bit of 195 feet. Unfortunately for Haring and her teammates, the wind, in cahoots with DeKalb’s spacious 210-foot outfield, kept the ball in the yard. Burns ended DeKalb’s rally by striking out Torrie Newport on a belt-high fastball on the outer portion of the plate. “I just took a deep breath and did my

thing,” Burns said. The game was actually a pitcher’s duel for the first four innings. Barbs pitcher Morgan Newport had six strikeouts in over four innings to start her day. However, Burns was equally effective, despite only striking out one. DeKalb did not get on the board until they broke through for three runs in the fifth. Plainfield North 5, Morris 3: After signing to play for Illinois Benedictine, Emily Moore led the offense for the Redskins (10-3) with a solo home run in the third inning and an RBI double in the fifth. Abby Burns also recorded a RBI in the fifth inning on a single to right. Amanda Jenkins, Jasmine Cook and Ashley Phelps each recorded a hit. Burns went the distance, giving up three earned runs while striking out six.

Seneca wins own Swing for a Cure tourney SUBMITTED REPORT

SENECA – In the annual St. Jude’s Hospital “Swing for a Cure” tournament, Seneca emerged as the tournament champions by winning three games. However, the real winner was Zoey Coughlin, a 2-year-old with neuroblastoma and cousin of Seneca first baseman Michaela Coughlin. Zoey’s cousin, Landon, also threw out the first pitch. Seneca 7, Spring Valley Hall 5: In the first game of the day, Taylor Bushman ignited the Irish offense with a leadoff walk. Karlie Cade sacrificed her over and Michaela Coughlin ripped an RBI double to score Bushman. Coughlin finished with two doubles and four RBIs. The Irish clung to a 3-1 lead entering the sixth and final inning due to time limit, but Hall rallied to tie the game at 3-3 at the end of the sixth. The Irish had runners on second and third with one out in the bottom of the sixth but couldn’t break through. In international tie-breaker rules, Hall scored twice in the seventh to take a 5-3 lead. In the bottom of the seventh, with Rachel Sangston at second, Britney Helms was hit by a pitch to put runners at first and second. Bushman slapped a single through a hole in the infield to

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers the competitive passion to the masses, something needed to change. Several years ago, a few professional anglers noticed the sport was not growing. These longtime pros brainstormed and decided to take the best parts of tournament fishing and keep them while eliminating the parts that they didn’t care for. All throughout the planning stages, the fishing fan watching on television was the No. 1 priority. “Major League Fishing” events are filmed at unknown waters, with no practice days, and the competitors catch, weigh and release fish in the boat. An online score tracking system keeps a running total of all the weight caught. There is no five-fish limit because the bass are returned to the water immediately after weighing

them. None of them are put in the livewell to be drug across a stage hours later. As a result, anglers can score as many fish as they can catch. The show emphasizes the mental side of competition and gives the audience a real insight into the minds of the best anglers. Live score updates are read to the pros as the day progresses. If an angler has yet to boat a fish, he or she keeps hearing who is catching them and what the total weight is. This can really mess with their mental approach. There are two sides to the show format. The competition field is filled with Cup anglers and Select anglers. The Cup anglers are full-time “Major League Fishing” members and also were the founding members of the format. The Select anglers are trying to win a spot as a Cup angler. The most interesting part of the show for me is the fact that the pros did not spend days or weeks learning a body of water. They do not know where they are fishing until the morning of the

event. They start out with some ridearound time and then it is “lines in” and the competition begins. It is insightful to listen and watch as these anglers adjust their plan for the day. They have to find fish and catch them right away. The show format is very similar to what it is like for recreational anglers. The amount of buzz around this program is growing and reaching a huge audience. You can find out more information at www.majorleaguefishing.com. I think if you like to bass fish, you will enjoy the program and gain a lot of tips and tricks that can help you the next time you hit the water. Times are sure changing. Thirty years ago, the odds were against a youngster wanting to grow up and be a professional angler. It is still an impossibly difficult career, but more people are chasing that dream than ever before. I hope you enjoy watching the program as much as I do.

The sport of bass fishing has grown by massive amounts since I first cut my teeth on a baitcaster. It is more mainstream today than it ever has been. High schools and colleges all across the nation are host to bass fishing clubs. The young anglers are pumping life into the outdoors and creating an excitement not witnessed in years. A catalyst for this resurgence has been one particular show on The Outdoor Channel. “Major League Fishin”g is growing and catching the eye of both diehard anglers and the causal participant. I hear more people talk about it each week, and the chatter has been positive. Even though the program is bigger than ever before, I’m sure that many have never heard of it. “Major League Fishing” is a made-for-television competitive bass fishing event where the sole purpose is to grow the sport. Unlike major spectator sports like football or baseball, the grueling competition for fishing happens where fans cannot see it. To bring

Add the oil and butter, and then place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for a few minutes, until golden, gently agitating the pan so the skin doesn’t burn as it crisps. Flip carefully, and finish cooking through, about 1 minute. To serve (immediately), plate the quinoa salad and lay a fillet skin-side up atop each salad. Garnish with the lemon wedges and serve on individual plates, with avocado slices fanned over the quinoa and lime wheels on the side.

Jennifer Trainer Thompson is as dependable as the tide. Every couple of years, the writer who splits her time between southeastern and northwestern Massachusetts produces a new and engaging cookbook. This time, it’s “Fresh Fish: A Fearless Guide to Grilling, Shucking, Searing, Poaching and Roasting Seafood,” already listed among Amazon’s “Hot New Releases” in the culinary category. Thompson agrees that this book is among her most personal. She calls her book, from Storey Publishing, “an ode to growing up on Buzzards Bay. It’s my happy place,” continuing “When you’re in a place where you’re turned toward the sea, it’s just a special place.” The author grew up summering in a cottage in Wareham on the Weweantic River. Now, as senior vice president for partnerships and external affairs at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, and a resident of Williamstown (as far from the Atlantic as you can be) she cherishes her time at her Mattapoisett cottage. “It’s a true summer cottage; it doesn’t have heat,” Thompson says. She opened it up on Easter, and traditionally ends the season with Thanksgiving. While the cookbook author’s heart clearly is devoted to New England, and her nostalgic stories will strike a chord with many, the recipes are just as pertinent to cooks who have never sniffed the salt air. “This is a universal problem. Everybody’s intimidated by cooking fish,” she says her book’s editors opined. So the title was chosen to soothe away those fears, as will Thompson’s warm, conversational style. While addressing the baked-broiledseared-simmered basics of fish and shellfish, Thompson also ranges afield to sample some international flavors, such as Italian-style Baccala (Salt Cod) Salad, Crab Empanadas, Prawns in Tomato Sauce with Feta, and Bourride with Homemade Garlic Aioli, a fish stew from Provence. Cod, fluke, skate, lobster, littlenecks, sea and bay scallops all get their time to shine. But for those who aren’t reaching into a fresh fish case at a New England market, Thompson suggests substitutions, as well as

In introducing her Fluke with Chipotle-Lime Quinoa recipe, cookbook author Jennifer Trainer Thompson says, “With a sweet white meat, fluke (which resembles a flounder) is a great eating fish. It’s a bottom-dwelling flatfish that’s also called a summer flounder (no, it’s not a fluke) because they winter off the continental shelf and come into the bays during the summer months.” offering recipes for widely available shrimp, mussels, tuna, salmon and trout. Sprinkled throughout are helpful tips about the differences between clams, how to shuck oysters, constructing a clambake on the beach, and lots more. While seafood is the star of the plate, other elements are needed to round out the meal. So readers will find a sampling of cocktails, side dishes and desserts in “Fresh Fish.” The 352-page book, lavishly illustrated with handsome color photographs by Keller + Keller, costs $19.95 in paperback or $29.95 in hardcover, and also is available as an e-book. Following are a couple of recipes to try.

2⁄3 cup cherry tomatoes, halved Dressing: Juice of 1 ½ limes ¼ teaspoon lime zest 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 garlic clove, minced 1⁄8 teaspoon chipotle powder ¼ teaspoon salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 fluke fillets, approximately ½ pound each 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon butter Salt and freshly ground pepper 4 lemon wedges 1 ripe avocado, cut into thin slices 1 lime, cut into thin wheels, for garnish

1/3 cup unsalted cashews, peanuts, pistachios, or a combination thereof 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil Sea salt and freshly ground pepper 16 large sea scallops ½ shallot, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 2 cups cherry tomatoes 2 teaspoons white wine or champagne vinegar 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Toast the nuts in a toaster oven until browned and fragrant. Chop and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sea salt and pepper to taste. Pat dry the scallops and season with sea salt and pepper on both sides. In a cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high to high heat almost to smoking and then add the scallops (you’ll hear a sizzle when you add them). Cook the scallops until seared and cooked just through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer them to a serving plate and cover with foil. In the same skillet, use a wooden spoon to saute the shallot, garlic (adding 1 additional tablespoon of olive oil if needed), and To prepare the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa tomatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper, several times, then combine with the vegeta- and scraping any bits from the edges.

Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch also star. 7 p.m. on % WMAQ Strong For the seven of the original 10 teams still in the competition, the title of the new episode “Don’t Give Up the Fight” has true meaning.

An Oregon inventor shows how a stroller for children also can provide a solid workout, and youngsters also are on the mind of a Texas woman who’s created a line of products for kids. Also, Las Vegas magicians use illusion in trying to sell the typically realistic Sharks on their business idea.

Also, New York’s Carnegie Hall became a showplace for jazz then, thanks largely to legendary bandleader Benny Goodman.
