In time, world problems hit close to home One of the things I have always liked about living in a small town – other than feeling like John Mellencamp was telling my life story – is the big problems of the world didn’t seem to matter much to us.

Murder, homelessness, hunger, drugs.

Those are problems in the bigger cities, and that’s where they belong. We could watch the Chicago news and see what was going on there and be happy it wasn’t happening here.

More and more, though, those problems are finding their way out of city confines and hitting closer to home.

The main culprit I am thinking about is drugs, specifically heroin.

Growing up, all I knew about heroin is that it was what rock stars died of. That, and it must be bad news because you didn’t see many old heroin users. You use it, you die, and you die quickly seemed to be the message behind heroin. That’s enough to keep most people away.

But lately, it seems like signs are pointing to an alarming emergence of that

VIEWS Rob Oesterle drug, no matter whether it’s in a heavily populated area like a major city or in the rural communities like Morris.

It seemed a few weeks ago that every day or two brought a new heroin bust out of either Wilmington or Braidwood, and if it’s a problem there, it’s got to be a problem almost everywhere. Sure enough, last week there was a couple arrested in the Wal-Mart parking lot after police say they found heroin in their car – which also had children in it. And before that, there was a man busted near Morris Community High School with 30 bags of the stuff.

Wal-Mart and the high school. That’s a little too close to home for my liking. You don’t like to see heroin anywhere in town, but Wal-Mart and MCHS have way too

LOOKING UP

many kids around. Two questions come immediately to mind. Where is it coming from, and how do we stop it?

Both questions are, to be honest, best left to authorities, who are trained and equipped for such things and, I am sure, have already taken far more steps toward answering them than we know about.

But we as parents and citizens can do our part by keeping an eye out for suspicious behavior and by talking to our kids about the dangers. I understand kids don’t always hear things the first, second, third, or fourth times you tell them something.

But this is a throw enough mud against the wall, something is bound to stick situation. You can’t tell your kids enough about the risks and ramifications of either using or being around illegal drugs. Become a nuisance. Make them hear your voice in your head. It may save their lives.

More than half of fish in Morris stretch of Illinois River are invasive carp

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In late March, three semitrailers hauled away 95,000 pounds of Asian carp from an Illinois River backwater lake in Morris.

It was the culmination of a two-week effort by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Schafer Fisheries, the U.S. Geological Survey, Illinois Natural History Survey, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and others agencies.

The team collected 893 bighead carp and 12,095 silver carp. There were 6,046 native species – including bass, catfish and buffalo – that were captured and released. Based on this collection alone, fish never meant to swim the Illinois River now outnumber native fish in the Morris portion by more than 2-to-1.

Invasion of the Illinois River

Asian carp were stocked in ponds throughout Southern states in the 1970s that are connected to the Mississippi River and its feeder streams. Fish farmers hoped to keep their ponds clean by deploying Asian carp, which constantly feast on plankton.

But flooding allowed the fish to escape their man-made homes and infest natural waterways. By the 1980s, Asian carp were found in the Mississippi River and by 1990, numbers were rising in the Illinois River.

The IDNR began documenting reproduction trends about 2000, and commercial fishing of Asian carp grew. In 2009, the IDNR started contracting with commercial fishing companies to remove the fish. Each year since, millions of pounds have been removed from the Illinois River alone.

Three reasons to remove Asian carp

Although Asian carp do not eat other fish, they are a threat to the survival of native species, IDNR biologist Kevin Irons said. All fish eat plankton when they’re small, but Asian carp, which can reach 100 pounds, eat so voraciously and grow so fast that native fish struggle to find food.

Asian carp also spawn multiple times each year, while most other species only spawn once – if that. Assuming only a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of eggs laid by a female Asian carp survive, it spells trouble for native fish.

Another reason for removal is the Illinois River is considered the last line

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Guy Price, a contracted commercial fisherman with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, sits surrounded by nets at the bow of a fishing boat April 19 as a small team of fishermen and an IDNR specialist fish for Asian carp work along the Illinois River in Morris. of defense between an invasion of the Great Lakes. The Illinois is connected to Lake Michigan through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

In January 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reported finding silver carp genetic materials just a block from Lake Michigan, despite an electric migration barrier in Romeoville.

According to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, the region’s fishing industry is worth $7 billion annually. Experts fear an Asian carp invasion would eventually mean the demise of Great Lakes sport fishing for prized species such as salmon, trout, bass and walleye.

Some leaders from other Great Lakes states have suggested closing off the canals. But the project – estimated to cost billions – could create bigger problems.

“We can’t close the canals now because it could flood a whole city,” Irons said.

Asian carp also can be a threat to human safety. While bighead carp stay underwater, silver carp are known to

jump – as high as 10 feet out of the water – when startled by the sound of passing boat. This quirky behavior has resulted in injuries to boaters.

Making progress

Teams are constantly removing Asian carp from the Illinois River between March and November. They typically fish the upper stretch every other week, Irons said. They start each week in Morris, then head to the Brandon Road Lock and Dam in Joliet and Starved Rock Lock and Dam near Peru.

While Asian carp account for 50 percent to 60 percent of the river’s biomass between Starved Rock and Morris, Irons said, they account for 70 percent to 80 percent between Starved Rock and Peoria.

Though small numbers of Asian carp have been found between Channahon and Joliet, the Morris stretch of the Illinois River is where population density starts to diminish. Irons said collection totals in the Dresden Island area of east-

ern Morris dropped 68 percent between 2012 and 2014, and the average size of fish is decreasing. The 95,000-pound haul of late March from Material Service Corp.’s 500-acre lake was about 27 percent of the 345,000 pounds taken from there in all of 2015.

The team used the Chinese unified netting method for the operation, which required 20-plus miles of nets to be dispersed on the private mining lake. Fish congregated in the warmer, calmer backwaters during the winter.

“I was hoping the water would be colder,” Irons said. “The fish would have jumped less. We probably could have had 150,000 pounds if so many didn’t jump over the net.”

As the days passed, the crew adjusted the nets to force the fish to the west end. Usually, crews fish select areas of a body of water, but this intensive team effort produced much better results.

Irons said he flew to China to learn

Morris YMCA to host Healthy Kids Day

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Families are invited to the Morris YMCA on Saturday to celebrate Healthy Kids Day. The open house will center on health and wellness, and is available at three of the Greater Joliet locations, including the Morris location.

“It’s an open house for community awareness on living a healthy lifestyle,” said Sarah Porzel, the director of family and community engagement. “We will show how we can get kids and families out and moving, as well as showcasing local businesses that can help.”

A news release about the national YMCA initiative said the event is designed to raise awareness about the importance of establishing healthy habits in kids at a young age.

The news release said research shows that without access to out-ofschool physical and learning activities, kids fall behind academically over the summer, as well as gain

Coal City celebrates Arbor Day

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Jamie and Becky Thomas of Spring Grove Nursery in Mazon started working with the Village of Coal City after the June 22 tornado that took thousands of mature trees.

Each year, the nursery spends Arbor Day planting trees at local schools. This year, they are broadening their planting efforts to include Coal City.

“We have a lot of customers from Coal City who have started replacing the trees they lost,” Becky Thomas said. “There was a large loss of canopy in Coal City, and some estimates show 50,000 trees were lost. We wanted to help them with a plan to start rebuilding the canopy.”

Spring Grove Nursery along with itrees.com owners Chris and Marlee Harford, also of Mazon, created Communitrees, a program that was designed to help property owners and the village add trees back to the area.

On Friday, the two companies, along with ComEd and Davey Resource Group, will plant more than 20 trees throughout the village.

Many of the trees were from Communitrees, which not only provided

Becky Thomas said they will start at the church, showing volunteers how to properly plant a tree and educating them on the many benefits trees provide to a homeowner and a community.

In addition to the Coal City Arbor Day project, there also will be donating and planting a tree at three area schools, Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Elementary School, Immaculate Conception School in Morris, and Marseilles Grade School, between Friday and May 5.

Minooka High School district coming in under budget

MINOOKA – The Minooka Community High School District 111 is $1.1 million under budget so far this fiscal year. Chief School Business Official John Troy said it has been one of the district’s goals to get finances back into the black.

The district does have one recent unexpected expense: Wind from a recent storm forced its way underneath the membrane on Central Campus’ roof, Troy said, and separated the adhesion. The district’s insurance company estimated the damage at $27,740. Also at last week’s meeting, board members approved accepting a proposal from Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Inc. for engineering and material evaluation for the surfaces of the Central Campus tennis courts in an amount not to exceed $20,500.

The courts to be repaired include eight main competitive courts and four practice courts.

Midewin Tallgrass Prairie sets bison-viewing expedition

WILMINGTON – Save the date, bison fans. On May 7, the U.S. Forest Service’s Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie is hosting its “Midewin Bison Expedition” – a one-day event during which the prairie’s new bison herd can be seen from a closer-than-normal viewing location.

Free shuttle buses will be provided every 15 to 20 minutes by the U.S. Forest Service from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day – bringing folks to and from the neighboring towns of Elwood and Wilmington. Visitors can be picked up near city hall in Elwood, 401 E. Mississippi Ave., and at North Water and Van Buren streets in Wilmington.

Buses will return visitors to either location until 5 p.m.

Midewin staff and trained volunteers will be available to answer questions and provide interpretive services.

American bison – including four bulls and 23 cows – were reintroduced to the prairie’s pastures in the fall. Now, several cows are pregnant.

The bison expedition will be held in conjunction with the annual Route 66 “Red Carpet Corridor” event in Elwood and Wilmington.

Judy Mitchell listens April 19 to members of the Joliet Junior College board in Joliet during a meeting at which she was named interim president of the school.

JJC board OKs hiring of Judy Mitchell as its interim president

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Judy Mitchell was formally approved last week as Joliet Junior College interim president by the Board of Trustees after the March resignation of former President Debra Daniels. The vote was not unanimous at the April 19 meeting. Board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich asked about the terms and conditions of Mitchell’s appointment as interim, something he said should have been solidified.

“I just believe we should have discussed this before we voted,” he said.

Trustees Maureen Broderick and Michael O’Connell were in favor of Mitchell’s appointment. Broderick said it would be beneath the trustees to not appoint someone as experienced as Mitchell. O’Connell wanted Mitchell to

have a chance to “get comfortable.”

Mihelich and Trustee Alicia Morales were the only two to vote against Mitchell’s appointment.

Mitchell, the school’s former administrative services vice president, has served as acting president since trustees received a resignation notice from Daniels on March 18.

Faculty Union President Robert Marcink said that faculty are comfortable with Mitchell and have worked with Mitchell for a long time.

Board Chairman Robert Wunderlich said there will be a presidential search and that criteria and a list of consultants for the search would be put together.

Unlike the presidential search in 2011, he said the college will not use the Association of Community College Trustees, as they were too expensive and JJC did most of the work.

JJC approves administrative changes, audit firm, banquet

JOLIET – Joliet Junior College had some administrative changes when Judy Mitchell was approved as interim president last week.

The Board of Trustees at the April 19 meeting also approved the appointment of Jeff Heap as interim administrative affairs vice president; David Naze as dean of academic excellence and support; and Toron Ballard as the financial aid director.

Those changes followed the appointment of Mitchell, who is leading the college while plans are put in place to search for a new president after Debra Daniels resigned.

The new appointments include: Board President Robert Wunderlich said trustees also approved last week a new audit firm, Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, which has offices in 12 states and Washington, D.C. He said the college routinely switches auditors every several years.

Trustees also approved deciding to move forward with third-party management of banquet operations at the Renaissance Center in downtown Joliet, which sits close to the college’s new City Center Campus building.

Wunderlich said a third-party manager has not been selected yet.

Board hears about local environmental impact If you go

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com SENECA – The auditorium at Seneca High School was overflowing April 21 as hundreds of residents showed up to voice their concerns about a proposed privately funded $8 billion rail line project that, if built, would cut through Grundy County farmland.

As proposed, the Great Lakes Basin Railroad project would run 275 miles from La Porte, Indiana, to Milton, Wisconsin. Those spearheading the effort filed paperwork in March with the federal Surface Transportation Board, which triggered a series of public hearings called scoping meetings. The STB is the governmental agency responsible for approving or denying the project on its merits while examining potential environmental impacts.

While many voiced concerns over the possibility of losing prime farm land or splitting acreage on centennial farms, Grundy County board member Dick Joyce voiced a concern that many were not aware of.

“I’m highly skeptical that the company has not reached out locally,” Joyce said. “There is over 100 years of mine subsidence, or sink holes. If a tractor can go through a sink hole, what about a train?”

MORRIS – Volunteers are needed Saturday to help with a spring cleanup at Saratoga Tower in Morris. Saratoga Tower is home to low-income residents who are elderly or have a disability.

“I think it’s extraordinary how Grundy County comes together to support seniors and people with disabilities,” Housing Authority CEO Brent Newman said. “We are always grateful for anyone who can take the time to come help them.”

The building, which has 95 apartments, will get an inside and outside cleaning.

Newman said that for those who would rather work inside, there is sweeping, mopping and dusting that needs to be done.

For those who prefer to spend their time outdoors, Newman said that it’s the typical yardwork, such as sweeping and clearing of leaves, that most homes need in the spring.

Welter said once the requirements are met, the county intends to hire Hougas to the position with a four-year contract.

REALITY CHECK Although the human body undergoes many physical changes during the senior years, one thing that usually remains unchanged is the feeling of being younger and more vital than one really is. A bad fall,chronic disease, or other ailment can bring about the unwelcome realization that totally independent living is no longer possible. Loved ones need to recognize when outside help is required and openly discuss caregiving options with the senior. Many reputable agencies have qualified caregivers who can aid the senior client in the routines of daily living. Consider the self-care tasks that the senior needs assistance in doing. Then talk

Morris students try their hand at community service

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris Community High School freshmen are learning more than reading, writing and arithmetic.

On April 19, after taking tests all morning, the Class of 2019 heard from Karen Nall, executive director at United Way of Grundy County, about the value of community service.

“When the United Way of Grundy County was contacted about helping to coordinate projects for students to participate in, we were more than excited to help,” Nall said in a news release.

Nall said the idea was to create projects for the nearly 240 freshmen students that would benefit local nonprofits.

Perry Willis, one of the freshmen participating, said stuffing envelopes was more fun than he anticipated.

It isn’t the first time Willis has donated time. He has also helped his dad, who is a coach for the Morris Warriors youth football program.

“It’s important to do things for your community,” Willis said. “You don’t have to spend money to do something positive.”

In another classroom, Abbie Borg-

strom wrote a letter to a student who has been bullied. She said she wrote to the anonymous person that he or she is not alone, and that people care.

There were six projects for the students to choose, including stuffing envelopes, labeling, folding letters, and writing notes to seniors who receive meal delivery. The students completed more than 5,000 pieces for these projects.

These projects will assist Chestnut Health Systems, Community Nutrition Network, Crisis Line of Will & Grundy Counties, We Care of Grundy County, Operation Care Package and ForeverU Organization.

“Completing community service hours is not only important, but also a requirement for graduation for every MCHS student,” Rochelle Claire, intern in the Morris High School guidance office, wrote in an email. “Introducing the value of community service to the freshmen class gave them exposure to local organizations and opportunities. We hope that by offering this opportunity, the students now know that volunteering is a fun and rewarding experience.”

Students at Morris High School are required to do at least five hours of community service to graduate.

For many senior citizens, their home is their biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth.

With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are now using HECM reverse mortgage loans to turn their home equity into extra cash for their retirement.

However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this government-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”

which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage loan don’t even bother to get more information due to rumors they’ve heard.

That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 95% of their clients are satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

With a reverse mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms. A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan).

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?** EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage;** the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Reverse mortgages first took hold when President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain in their homes. They’re simply an effective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgage loans have been greatly improved to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case.

One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage,

Five legislators attend GEDC breakfast in Morris Now SUBMITTED REPORT

MORRIS – It was a full house of legislators and community leaders Monday at the annual GEDC Legislative Breakfast.

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, state Sens.

Toi Hutchinson and Sue Rezin, and state Reps. John Anthony and Kate Cloonen were on hand to speak to the business group about issues of importance in Washington, D.C., and Springfield.

Kinzinger reaffirmed his support for nuclear energy as a key, carbon neutral power source that provides important base load energy for the electrical grid.

Kinzinger also reminded the group that investment needs to continue in our national highways and bridges. The national gas tax hasn’t been increased since 1994 despite the increase in materials and wages. Updating that formula is an important part of keeping our nation’s infrastructure competitive.

The state budget impasse and the resulting ramifications were a top issue for the group. Rezin and Hutchinson discussed the importance of the school funding formula and looking for solutions that do not create winners and los-

Anthony and Representative Cloonen took opposite approaches to the issue of a property tax freeze while both agreed that sweeping transportation funds for other uses will not occur this year.

“This was one of our best-attended legislative forums,” she said. “With all the issues and challenges at the state and federal level, I am grateful our legislators take the time to hear the concerns of the local business community.”

New county chairs for Grundy political parties chosen SHAW MEDIA MORRIS – The county’s political parties have elected their leadership teams for the next two years.

The Grundy County Republican Central Committee held its County Convention on April 13 where Aren Hansen, 32, of Morris was selected to serve a two-year term as head of the Grundy Republican Party.

County political parties are required to hold a convention every two years where the precinct committeemen elect their party leader.

Michael Mattingly, of Morris, has served as the GOP chairman for the past four years, but did not seek a third

term, according to a news release from the party.

“I look forward to working with Republican Party members, candidates and elected officials to advocate for good government and to support Republican efforts,” Hansen said in the news release. “I am excited to see what the future holds for our group and will work hard to not only continue, but expand upon the success that our local candidates have had in recent years.”

Eric Werden was named Treasurer and Lisa Barkley will continue serving as the committee’s Secretary. Vice chairs – one from each County Board district – also were chosen; David Welter form District 1, Ken Briley from

District 2 and Mashale Castelli from District 3.

The Grundy County Republicans meet the first Wednesday evening of each month. For information, email grundycountyrepublicans@gmail. com.

The Grundy County Democratic Central Committee also met April 13 at Maria’s Restaurant in Morris for its required re-organizational meeting where officers were selected for the next two years.

Richard Joyce of Coal City will serve as chairman, while Warren Kronberger of Minooka will be treasurer and Angie MacDonald of Morris will be secretary. Vice chairs will be Chris

Perry of Morris for District 1; Lana Phillips of Morris for District 2 and James Riley of Gardner for District 3, according to a news release from the party.

Eleven delegates were chosen to attend the state party convention later in the summer.

“We have excellent candidates from the courthouse to the state house to the White House and we look forward with confidence to the upcoming campaign,” Joyce said in a news release.

“The voters are fortunate to live in a county where the two parties are competitive, since it offers them a real choice. That is not the case in many places in both the state and country.”

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – The Morris Elementary School District 54 Board of Education last week approved a new floor plan, schedule and staff plans as the district prepares to move Shabonna Middle School students and staff into the White Oak Elementary building for the 2016-17 school year.

Interim Superintendent Al Gegenheimer during the April 19 meeting showed a visual of each floor of White Oak Elementary and how each class would be placed, as well as the shuffled art, music and teachers’ lounge areas.

The first floor of the school will house kindergarten and first grades in the right wing; Grundy County preschool and second grades in the middle; and third and fourth grades on the left side.

The band and choir rooms were relocated and will be on opposite sides of the buildings to accommodate an extra art room, while the teachers’ lounge will be opposite the cafeteria due to space and water availability.

The older students will be housed on the second floor, with eighth grade in the right wing; sixth and seventh grades in the middle; and fifth in a back left hallway so as to not be disturbed by the passing of the sixth- through eighth-grade

students.

“We first went to administration to see if we could fit all of the children in one school, and once we saw that it worked, we went to the teachers to get recommendations,” Gegenheimer said.

“I know students are not happy with the change, but we will save $350,000 to $500,000 per year by doing this, and Lord knows the district needs it.”

It was advised by board Vice President Bonnie Cap that the board stick with the plan proposed by Gegenheimer and make changes after the first year if needed. The board approved the plan with board President Jerald White and Joannie Johnston absent.

Gegenheimer also shared the new daily schedule for the school so teachers and the board members were aware of the changes. Kindergarten through fourth grades would start at 8:45 a.m. and fifth through eighth grades at 7:45 a.m., but those times are subject to change.

“This schedule we proposed has to fit in with the intergovernmental agreements with busing with District 101 and 60c, so there may be adjustments needed,” Gegenheimer said.

The board also approved the honorable dismissal of five food service staff and reduced hours of four cafeteria staff, three teacher aides and one library aide due to the merged school plan.

Exelon Generation mails emergency brochures to local residents SUBMITTED REPORT

MORRIS – Exelon Generation has mailed nearly 100,000 public information emergency planning brochures to residents and businesses within 10 miles of its Braidwood, Dresden and LaSalle nuclear facilities.

The brochure contains facts about general emergency preparedness, including reception center locations, evacuation routes, a map, and a list of

emergency alert broadcast stations, according to a news release from the company.

It also includes a special needs card to be completed and returned by those who may have a special transportation or other needs.

Exelon’s nuclear facilities have multiple physical barriers and layers of backup safety systems to ensure safe operations, even in extreme events such as floods, tornadoes and earth-

quakes, according to the news release.

Exelon Generation has dedicated teams of emergency planning experts at each of its nuclear facilities who work with state, county and local emergency management officials in the development, maintenance, training and testing of emergency response plans.

Federal law requires nuclear operating companies to develop emergency response plans for their nuclear energy facilities and to ensure evacuation

plans are in place, according to the news release. State and county agencies often use the plans for non-nuclear-related emergencies such as extreme weather events or fires.

The brochures also can be viewed at: • Braidwood brochure, www.exeloncorp.com/braidwood • Dresden brochure, www.exeloncorp.com/dresden • LaSalle brochure, www.exeloncorp.com/lasalle

UP CLOSE Spring Blooms: County comes to life with flowers Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – While April showers are supposed to bring May flowers, the unseasonably mild winter has led to blankets of white and blue covering the woodland floor earlier than normal this year.

A quick drive through Morris will also show vibrant hues of pinks and purples as trees blossom their way into spring.

TOP RIGHT: The ground isn’t the only place to find flowers this spring. Trees around town, such as this one at Peace Lutheran Church in Morris, show off an array of hues from white to bright pink.

TOP LEFT: Virginia bluebells are a sure sign of spring. They are predominantly found in the wild in wooded areas throughout Illinois.

ABOVE LEFT: The Virigina springbeauty can be seen as a wave of white flowers on the ground of wooded areas. This spring it is easily seen from Route 47 south of the Illinois River in the wooded areas on both the east and west side, of the road.

ABOVE RIGHT: Many Grundy County lilacs have already bloomed and are starting to die back. A mild winter may explain why the blooms, which typically happen at the end of April and beginning of May. They are a few weeks early this year.

LEFT: Woodland phlox often grows in patches and can be found in the shade of Illinois woodlands. They give off a very strong fragrance, but only bloom a short time in the spring.

Also planned is the purchase of additional Chromebooks this summer to allow the student-to-device ratio to rise to 2-to-1. Kindergarten and first grade will continue with iPads, and grades two to eight will transition to Chromebooks.

By fall 2017, the goal could be to have a 1-to-1 ratio of students to devices. Students in grades five to eight would be able to take their Chromebooks home with them at night, and eighth-graders would have the possibility of taking their Chromebooks with them when they graduate for a reduced buyout.

A technology fee of $50 is being considered to help implement the changes.

The district currently has no registration fees.

One option within the plan could be for some seventh- and eighth-graders to help repair the computers themselves, Henkle said, as “first level Dell technicians.”

“We’re going to take full ownership of these devices,” he said.

A few additional personnel would need to be added, should the board approve the plan next month, including a full-time position for a director of 21st-century learning; four building-level device and instruction tech support personnel; and three other technology personnel.

The schools would also create spaces to support the new styles of learning, such as more collaborative, communicative open spaces, rather than desks in rows.

The total costs of putting the program into place could be $537,901 in fiscal 2017; $426,113 in 2018; $287,759 in 2019; and $211,240 in 2020, with costs decreasing over time because of the initial investment in personnel and devices.

Also Monday, the board heard the 2015 tax rate for the district will be 2.7339, as compared with the 2014 tax rate, which was 2.822. The equalized assessed value is $626.8 million, with new property at $10.4 million.

JJC to hold Civil War symposium; historians, politicians to speak

CHANNAHON – Channahon School District 17 Superintendent Nick Henkle is asking the Board of Education to approve a four-year plan for the district’s four schools called “Vision 2020: A 21st Century Learning Plan.”

The plan was inspired by a statewide educators’ initiative begun by the Illinois Association of School Administrators in 2012 and released in full by a team of Illinois educators last year.

Henkle told members at Monday’s board meeting that the plan is designed to move students from being engaged in learning to being invested in it.

It will focus on the changing needs of education to better prepare students for the skills they need for college and careers.

All of the district’s eighth-graders should graduate with proficiencies as communicators, creators, critical thinkers and collaborators, Henkle

said.

“We want the best for our kids,” he said. “We want them to have the best opportunities available.”

Much of the plan involves a new approach to learning by using cloudbased technology and a variety of technological tools, such as 3-D printing, green screen, robotics, kinetic machines and autodesk design.

“We’re looking at technology as a core competency,” Henkle said.

Several schools have begun similar plans, he told the board, and some have had success. To design the plan to the district’s standards, Henkle and staff contacted school districts in different states and asked what worked and what didn’t.

Professional development on the front end was key, they learned.

In the district’s plan are dates and cost estimates for teacher and administrator symposiums, summits, institute days, community viewings, committees, site visits and trainings.

Hospital physicians recognized for excellent care SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Four physicians from Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers were awarded Five-Star Excellence Awards for their overall quality of care.

Dr. Ian Best, pediatrician; Dr. Janet Leon, rheumatologist; Dr. Rita Hart, pediatrician; and Dr. Scott Ciechna, family medicine physician, were recognized by Professional Research Consultants Inc., the firm that conducts patient experience surveys on behalf of Morris Hospital.

The awards are distributed annually to health care providers based on the percentage of patients who give their providers an “excellent” rating when asked about overall quality of care.

All four physicians ranked above the 90th percentile in PRC’s national client database as a result of responses on the patient surveys in 2015.

“We are very proud of these four physicians for their dedication to providing our patients with the excellent care,” said Mark Steadham, president & CEO of Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers. “Patient satisfaction is one of the highest priorities we emphasize for our organization.

These physicians have clearly demonstrated they are consistently going above and beyond to deliver an

OPINIONS Brief break in impasse good news for education

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller obligations without a lot more revenue, and they can’t raise taxes without an agreement on the Turnaround Agenda.

So they wanted to try and prevent a systemic meltdown in the meantime.

Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks’ proposed constitutional amendment to reform the redistricting process sailed out of committee last week. Franks pledged to include some changes suggested by (who else?) Fortner, and the Illinois Chamber supports it, which possibly indicates where the Rauner folks are. Ending gerrymandering is part of the governor’s Turnaround Agenda. Madigan once called redistricting reform a “plot” by Republicans. Yet he’s supporting Franks’ proposal.

Meanwhile, significant progress is being made in negotiations behind the scenes on workers’ compensation reform, one of Rauner’s top priorities.

People close to Madigan admitted late last week that some reasonable procurement reforms could be achieved.

We’re not out of the woods yet.

Finding a way to finally end this disgraceful impasse will be far more difficult than tapping an unused state fund. And, heck, even that wasn’t easy.

Negotiations were heated, attempts were made at the 11th hour to pry even more spending out of Rauner, things broke down time and time again and Madigan ended the week with a nasty shot across Rauner’s bow.

“Time will tell,” Madigan said via news release, “if Governor Rauner has further intentions of destroying our state institutions and human service providers, or if he will begin working with us to craft a full-year budget that is not contingent on passage of his demands that will destroy the middle class.”

Rauner is almost always quick to respond in kind to these sorts of statements by Madigan. This time, though, he let it go.

Morris Herald-News / MorrisHerald-News.com • Thursday, April 28, 2016

A blog post appears to have helped at least temporarily break the long stalemate at the Illinois Statehouse.

Rep. Mike Fortner, R-West Chicago, wrote a story and I posted it on my blog CapitolFax.com on April 18 about a way to provide some funding for higher education. Universities and community colleges haven’t received a dollar from the state since June of last year because the government has no budget.

Some are on the verge of going under.

Fortner’s idea wasn’t new. Some other folks, particularly at the endangered Eastern Illinois University, have been saying for a while now that money is just sitting in a state account and isn’t being used for its intended purpose. Budget negotiators have also been eyeing the fund. Fortner’s proposal took off like a rocket. It probably helped that the Republican legislator devised the plan with a Democrat from the Senate, Pat McGuire of Joliet.

The governor’s folks almost immediately embraced Fortner’s concept, which gives higher education hundreds of millions of dollars to tide the schools over until tuition money starts coming in. The money comes from the Education Assistance Fund, which receives dedicated tax revenues and is split between K-12 and higher education.

Fortner’s proposal also included giving universities “relief from some of the procurement code.” Gov. Bruce Rauner has said he wants to redo some of the reforms enacted after Rod Blagojevich’s impeachment, and has made it part of his otherwise controversial “Turnaround Agenda.” But while those earlier procurement reforms have, indeed created problems at universities and in state government, House Speaker Michael Madigan has resisted changing them. Legitimate fears of history repeating itself after the Blagojevich scandals is cited as the main reason.

Rauner won’t negotiate a budget until he passes his Turnaround Agenda. So good news came when Rauner decided not to tie his procurement reform demands to the passage of Fortner’s funding plan. And then more good news came when top Democrats started openly talking about “building a bridge” to next fiscal year, which begins July 1. They can’t pay the state’s

Grapevine Mission celebrates 10 years of helping others “... I know the money raised is going to a good cause, so it is important to keep coming back.”

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – More than 100 people packed the Morris VFW on Saturday to celebrate and support the 10th anniversary of The Grapevine Mission located in Dwight, with proceeds going to the mission’s day-to-day operations at the newly acquired storefront and the 225 families it serves each month.

“We have a benefit dinner twice a year, but this one was our 10th anniversary. Our main overhead is rent and utilities, and we buy about 20 percent of the items we give out,” co-founder Judy Pershey said. “Our supporters rally and give out of their own wallets. Some people we don’t even know.”

Pershey said the mission supports working families and the elderly that have trouble with basic needs due to job loss or low wages.

“We have a lot of families and single moms who are working, but aren’t making it,” Pershey said. “We want to be the ones that fill the gap while they fight the good fight.”

Joliet resident Jessica Mahnke said she has attended these fundraisers for four years.

More than 100 guests came out to support The Grapevine Mission in Dwight on Saturday at the 10th Anniversary benefit dinner held at the Morris VFW. “Due to my personal background, abuse as a child, I like who the mission helps and I know the money raised is going to a good cause, so it is important to keep coming back,” Mahnke said.

The evening began with a social hour, which allowed the guests to place their raffle tickets in the 30-plus donated baskets and mingle before a homemade buffet dinner was served.

“This was the biggest event we have had, and the ladies did quite a bit of preparation,” volunteer Matt Denman of Dwight said. “Some of the people here are

those we have helped in the past. It’s good to see they are doing well enough to now donate.”

Pershey said as Grapevine goes into its second decade, it will stay with its food and homeless services, but move away from the clothing donations due to other nonprofits offering this service. It will focus on the most vulnerable, such as seniors, disabled and youth.

“We want to offer job training, internship placements, youth service hours, mentoring, and we are lining up a professional counselor for our crisis hotline this year,” Pershey said. “And, with the storefront, we can offer one-on-one time with clients for their discretion.”

Students’ futures are more than a test score

I was given an article the other day by one of our substitute teachers, Charles Birch, highlighting a letter sent home to parents around standardized test-taking time. The main point of the note was to remind students and parents that a test score doesn’t reflect the whole child – their potential, gifts, talents, etc.

So I Googled “more than a test score” and was a bit surprised to find blogs, Twitter accounts, Facebook pages, and even a line of products including clothing and coffee mugs. The topic caused me to reflect on the students at Morris Community High School and the multitude of successes they achieve outside of the current spring testing window. I want to share some of those achievements in this article.

Part of our mission as a school district is to provide opportunities for students to achieve academically, personally and socially. The merits of extracurricular activities are well-documented and in many cases play an important role in the development of a well-rounded young adult. MCHS commits significant resources to provide a variety of opportunities for students, and our staff does a tremendous job at

COMMUNITY PULSE Pat Halloran

dedicating the time and effort needed to provide quality student experiences.

MCHS offers 17 clubs and organizations and more than 20 Illinois High School Association activities. Recent estimates indicate that somewhere between 75 percent to 80 percent of our students are involved in at least one extracurricular activity. The combined rosters of the IHSA activities total nearly 750 students. The students and faculty involved in these programs devote a tremendous amount of time and energy because they realize the value and long-term benefits associated with participation. The memories and friendships created through teams and clubs often last a lifetime.

Student achievements are recognized when faculty members submit a “Pause for Applause” recognition that is read over the intercom and also at the monthly Board of Education meeting.

This year, 152 students have been rec-

ognized and 59 teams or groups! Some of this year’s accomplishment include 49 championships, either individual or team, and countless Top 10 finishes.

The fall play and spring musicals involved a combined 128 students, faculty and community members who performed awesome, standing ovation-worthy performances. MCHS choirs produced All State performers in Madison Colasanti and Michael Kren.

The Guard program earned six firstplace divisional finishes and is emerging as a successful student opportunity.

Students in Industrial Technology and Family and Consumer Science won multiple awards for their talents. The MCHS Mathletes won the regional contest and will be competing at state at the University of Illinois on May 7. The Envirothon team placed first at the regional and will compete in state as well.

The MCHS volleyball team brought home a regional title before falling in the sectional finals. Cody Baldridge placed second in state at the 2A IHSA State wrestling finals. The Pom team brought home the second-place hardware for their efforts in the IHSA Competitive Dance competition. Nick Bonomo advanced to the state golf

tourney and the girls tennis team won the sectional, advancing to the state tourney last fall. The Speech team continued their winning ways, bringing home regional and sectional titles on their way to state competition as well, with Emily Trader placing sixth in the state.

Of course, there are many more examples of success too numerous to mention here – a lot of time, talent, and energy representing Morris Community High School.

We are knee-deep in testing this spring, and we all understand the value of measuring student progress and achievement. The accomplishments of the MCHS students are a great example and way to remember that young people are certainly “more than a test score.”

Morris D-54 art students get to show off their work

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – There are going to be a lot of refrigerators crowded with artwork in Morris, if last week’s District 54 Art Fair is any indication.

More than 800 students displayed some their work at the April 21 show, which took place at White Oak Elementary School. The art covered a multitude of media, from watercolors to sculpture and pretty much everything in between.

“I try to get the kids to work with almost every medium I can think of,” said Shabbona art teacher Lisa Felker, who teaches sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders. “We have watercolors, oil pastels, tempera paints, three-dimensional art, two-dimensional art, papier-maché, magazine roll-out art, plaster of Paris.

“I want the middle-school kids to experience as many different media as they can so they can keep trying new things and figure out what they enjoy and what they work best with.”

For example, the eighth-graders had projects that included both plaster of Paris and papier-maché sculptures,

“My favorite project was doing the plaster hand,” eighth-grader Sammie Hill said, referring to a project in which the students filled a surgical glove with wet plaster, let it dry and then decorated it with intricate henna-style designs.

The younger students didn’t have projects that were quite that involved, but they were plenty busy. White Oak art teacher Larissa Alderman, who teaches the kindergarten through fifth-graders, chose two pieces of art each from the 750 students in White Oak school and hung them by class in the hallway outside the gymnasium.

“We’ve been saving a lot of pieces of art all year,” Alderman said. “I tried to pick each student’s two best pieces and put them out here. It’s been fun watching them walk around trying to find them and show them off to their families. It gives them a chance to be proud of something and show off their Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com creative side.

Morris students cut off their locks for charity

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Karina and Belen Cuatlacuatl, third-graders at White Oak Elementary School, came to class last Friday with hair flowing down their backs.

They went home with shoulder-length bob haircuts.

The two sat in front of their entire school, in the gym, while people took turns cutting off their ponytails to donate to an organization that collects hair to make wigs for cancer patients. It was their idea to start off Coin War week with a memorable experience.

“I just want to help kids who have cancer,” Karina Cuatlacuatl said after 13 inches of her hair was placed in a plastic bag.

Jennifer Murphy, a district employee, was diagnosed with breast cancer last year just weeks after the Coin Wars ended. This year, she was one of the people chosen to cut off a ponytail.

She looked on, from the side, as the girls got their hair cut, her own hair growing back in.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

District 54 Principal Chris Maier cuts off the last ponytail on Belen Cuatlacuatl, a thirdgrade student at White Oak who donated her hair to an organization that makes wigs for cancer patients.

She said it’s touching to see the own daughter has done it twice to students cut their hair. In fact, her support her.

During Coin Wars, students collected pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters for a cause. Last year, the money went to the family of 2-yearold Zack Larson of La Harpe, who had been diagnosed with cancer. He is the nephew of longtime District 54 teacher Denise Bach.

Before the hair cutting commenced, students were give an update on Larson in a picture slide show that showed him getting treatments, as well as at home with his family.

“You’re his hero, he’s my hero,” Bach said. “You are heroes for helping him.”

Last year students raised $5,000.

This year, the students were challenged to bring even more change in.

Parents, grandparents, neighbors and friends can send change with their student to school to be placed in a bucket in each classroom. The event organizers will tally up the money on Friday, and the class will be set back to zero for the second week of collecting.

The top coin-raising class will get something special on field days, but no one is letting on to what the surprise is.

Vietnam veteran Keith Roseland visits RUSH classes

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Talk about a living history lesson.

St. Juvin Post 1336 Veterans of Foreign Wars Adjutant Keith Roseland recently delivered his semi-annual presentation about his service in the Army and particularly his service in Vietnam.

This semester there were two Recent U.S. History, or RUSH, classes at Coal City High School, taught by Dean Vigna and David Sinkular. Thirty-seven students between the two classes attended the presentation.

St. Juvin’s “Vets Go To School” program sends its members to the high and middle schools to talk to students about their military service and answer questions.

Roseland spent 11 months in Vietnam in 1971 as part of a support command unit in the coastal city of Quy Nhon. Though he didn’t see the jungle battle action usually depicted in the movies, what he did see and experience was more than enough to make an impact.

“In the support command, I had an office job seven days a week, from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon,” he said. “Then you would pull guard duty in one tower or another in

the compound twice a week, which was three hours on, three hours off.

“I never fired my rifle once when I was over there, but we did get mortared quite a few times and those came within probably a couple of city blocks from us. From the first night until the last night, you would hear gunfire all night long. It got so you just got used to it.”

Roseland has been giving his presentation, which features photos he took while deployed in Vietnam, to the RUSH students at Coal City twice a year for the last seven years, and finds it to be a rewarding experience on both sides.

“Before I come in, the kids go through the history of Vietnam, so they do know some things,” he said.

“They have a lot of questions and they are extremely respectful. They pay attention the whole time and really ask some good questions.

“I haven’t heard anything negative, so I hope to keep coming back.”

Dean Vigna is in charge of the RUSH program at Coal City High School and has been having veterans visit with students since the 1990s. He finds it a good way to personalize a war to students who might not otherwise be able to relate.

“It really brings things home,” Vigna said. “Coal City is a small commu-

“I have had quite a few stop in a few weeks after the class, or even the next school year, and tell me that they

told their parents about it and asked if any of their family members were involved,” he said. “Then they find out that an aunt or an uncle or a grandparent was in the war that they never knew about and they ask them about it.”

MORRIS – The Morris Lions Club is again selling tickets to reserve a dozen roses for delivery to local homes in its 32nd annual Rose Sale.

On the Saturday before Mother’s Day, the Morris Lions will deliver a dozen long-stem roses to those who have purchased tickets for a $16 donation. A new option the Lions started offering last year is the ability to order and pay for the roses online.

“Each year, we get phone orders where people would rather pay by credit card right then, instead of mailing a check, or taking cash to a Lion member,” rose chairman Brett Geiger said.

“Online ordering also allows folks to place orders from home, when it is convenient.

“If I don’t have time during the day, or need to look up the street address, it’s easier from home. And the PayPal page accepts either PayPal or credit cards.”

Morris National Honor Society inducts new members SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – The annual induction ceremony of Morris Community High School’s Chapter of the National Honor Society was held Feb. 17.

There were 22 juniors and four seniors inducted during the candlelight ceremony, which was held in the school’s auditorium.

Musical selections were performed by Michael Kren and Eleanor Tibbott, both senior NHS members, as parents, grandparents and other special guests were seated.

MCHS Superintendent Patrick Halloran welcomed the NHS chapter members, all new inductees, and all special guests to the ceremony on behalf of the board of education.

MCHS Principal Kelly Hussey then presented comments concerning the ceremony and introduced the NHS Faculty Council and other faculty members who were in attendance.

NHS President Emma Dingbaum also welcomed everyone and orchestrated the ceremony for the evening.

Her first introduction was that of Jessica Webber, senior NHS member, who presented the “Purpose” of the organization.

She was followed by Summer Shaw, NHS treasurer, who presented a reading on “Character,” one of the four pillars upon which NHS is founded. “Scholarship,” the second pillar, was read by NHS secretary Kaitlin Palko, and “Leadership,” the third pillar, was read by NHS Vice President Autumn See. The last pillar, “Service,” was presented by NHS senior member Nathan Guth. Each inductee is judged

on these four pillars before they are invited to be a member of the chapter.

Each inductee then participated in a pledge to the society led by Emma Dingbaum and NHS adviser Barbara Rath. Hussey, who represented the National Association of Secondary School Principals, then accepted each inductee for membership.

New members are: Class of 2016 – Maxwell Dudley, Avery Norris, Lindsey Schmidt and Ryan Wills; Class of 2017 – Maria Blanco, Bridget Byrne, Samantha Cailey, Megan Davy, Delaney Eber, Abigail Eisenbeis, Ryan Friend, Ethan Frobish, Janelle Gaska, Jessika Kodat, Veronica Johnson, Joshua Lain, Kelly Monk, Sarah Neuhalfen, Marissa Olson, Allyssa Post, Pauline Robinson-Stevens, McKenzie Rodgers, Lilian Tibbott, Rose Tibbott, Sophia Tibbott and Emily Trader.

Dingbaum then took roll, and each newly inducted member and their chosen sponsor advanced together to the stage.

The sponsor was witness to his or her inductee’s signing of the membership book, lighting of the candle – representing acceptance of the four pillars – introduction of family and guests, and acceptance of the NHS pendant.

In addition, each inductee indicated to the audience what the reason was for choosing his or her particular witness.

A reception was held following the ceremony in the MCHS cafeteria for all members, their guests, and the MCHS faculty and administrators.

One might think American commercial fishermen could ship their entire catch to China, but it’s not that easy.

“The Chinese want to purchase the fish alive,” Irons said. “Our product is not the preferred product there, and the Chinese fishermen sure don’t want our carp coming in.”

Some of the meat from Illinois River carp collections winds up at Chinese markets in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles.

MORRIS – You may have a better chance of getting hit by a flying Asian carp than you do catching one with a rod and reel in the Illinois River.

Illinois Department of Natural Resources biologist Kevin Irons has gotten hit several times, and said it doesn’t feel good.

Despite occupying 50 perfect to 60 percent of the biomass in the Morris portion of the river – and as much as 97 percent downstream and in the Mississippi River – carp aren’t necessarily interested in the bait at the end of a fishing line.

They eat daily up to 20 percent of their body weight in zooplankton and phytoplankton.

The presence of Asian carp is common knowledge to those who frequent the Illinois River, such as Brian Partak, of Morris. The avid bass fisherman spends three or four sessions per week on the river when the weather is nice.

He has never caught a carp, but they’ve jumped into his boat. It doesn’t bother Partak that much, as he thinks fishing for bass is the best it’s been in his 10 years of boat fishing the river.

“I’m seeing higher numbers of fish and better quality fish,” Partak said. “A good day for me is eight to 12 adult bass.”

His theory is that although carp are known to out compete young fish for plankton, the native fish that survive are growing faster than ever.

He believes predator fish such as bass are dining on some of the infant carp before they grow too large to eat.

Rather than use live bait, Partak casts with silver or gray plastic baits that resemble young silver carp. He believes predator fish have adjusted their diets to attack these fish.

Partak is glad the IDNR is leading an effort to remove the Asian carp. But his main point is that if you want to catch fish, you have to adjust – as the fish do.

“The carp population should definitely be thinned out,” Partak said. “They can hurt an ecosystem.

But if you ask the guys who are walleye or sauger fishing in Ottawa too, they’ll tell you the fish have baby Asian carp in their bellies.”

GIRLS SOCCER

Redskin senior is closing in on her own season scoring mark

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, April 28, 2016

MORRIS – During Monday night’s 6-0 win over Reed-Custer, Morris girls soccer coach Kristen Porter played a lot of her players in positions they don’t normally play.

For instance, in the second half, starting goalkeeper Maren Bashor got to shed the orange jersey she usually wears and put on the white of her teammates and join them on the rest of the field. Defenders played on offense and vice versa.

The one constant, though, was Amanda Grant.

When she was on the field, the senior forward didn’t leave her normal spot in the center of the attack.

There’s a good reason for that. No matter what else happens on the soccer field this season for Morris, Grant will be front and center.

So far this year, she has scored 13 goals, just three away from the school record of 16 that she set two years ago as a sophomore.

But that’s not the number that’s important to Grant, who recently decided she would play collegiately at DePauw University in Indiana.

What matters is the number on the left-hand side of the win-loss record, and that number increased to 8-6 with Monday’s win.

“We’re pretty unselfish as a team,” Grant said. “We don’t care about personal stats or anything like that.

It’s all about the team and if we win.

That’s what’s important to us.

“We lost some key players from last year’s team, but this group has been building up for this year. We seniors are excited to have it be our year and we want to make it a good one.”

The season so far has been a good one, and the Redskins hope to win their third straight regional title when the postseason gets going.

“We’ve adjusted well and we’re ready for this to be our team,” Grant said about fellow seniors Emma Dingbaum, Summer Shaw, Alexa Rain, Addison Polite, Bashor and Grace Tibbott – all of whom are in the starting lineup. “We are really close as a team.

It’s like they’re an extension of my family.

“With everyone being so unselfish, we hope that it makes us a little bit

Amanda Grant pushes the ball up the field in a 6-0 win over Reed-Custer on Monday. harder to beat. It’s been like that so far this year. Even the games we lost this year have been to teams that we have been blown out by in the past, but we have been a lot closer to them this year.”

That sort of unity will be hard to duplicate when Grant hits the DePauw campus in Greencastle, Indiana, next season, but she feels she will fit in with the Tigers.

“I took a visit there and just fell in love with the campus,” she said.

“Their coach reached out to me and told me he was interested in having me come play for them. They are Division III, but they are very competitive, which I really like. They made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.

“They also have a good kineseology department. I want to study that and

be a physical therapist, and they have a good program. They don’t guarantee that you will get placed in grad school, but they have a really good record of placing people in grad school, and that’s important to me. Plus, if I can keep playing soccer while I am going to college, I am going to enjoy it while I can.”

“Amanda probably didn’t mention this, but she’s only three away from the single-season goal-scoring record,” Porter said. “And it’s her own record from two years ago when she was a sophomore. I keep reminding her, hoping she will take more shots and score more goals, but she doesn’t care who scores as long as we win.”

In Monday’s game, Morris got on the board quickly when Casi Valdes scored from nearly 30 yards out on a shot that went over the goalie’s head

and into the net. Mya Shannon followed with a goal off an assist from Alexa Rain.

With 7:05 left in the first half, ReedCuster inadvertently put the ball in its own net during a scramble in front, and Morris took a 3-0 lead into halftime.

In the second half, Amanda Schmidt scored off a corner kick by Valdes, and Grant followed a few minutes later on a similar play, with Grant’s goal coming via a header. Rain then capped the scoring with 12:06 remaining.

“We had a lot of girls in different spots today,” Porter said. “Maren came out and played on the field. She’s been wanting to do that and she did a nice job. Adri Alvarez did a good job today, too. She’s coming off a knee injury, so it was good to see her have a good game today.”

Walker, Morris baseball blank Pontiac STAFF REPORTS

MORRIS – Matt Walker was dominant Saturday for the Morris baseball team, and the Redskins rode his three-hit shutout performance to a 6-0 nonconference win over Pontiac. Walker, an Illinois State recruit, struck out eight and only walked one in his seven innings of work.

The Redskins (8-11) staked Walker to a 1-0 lead in the first inning, then added two runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth.

“Matt Walker pitched brilliantly against a senior-dominated team that is well-known to hit the baseball up and down the lineup,” Morris coach Todd Kein said. “He kind of pointed the way and said, ‘Follow me.’

“We are starting to show improvements offensively, and we got key hits in big situations from multiple guys, which is great to see. It’s taken some time, but they’re starting to believe. It feels like we have some of the momentum that we’ve been looking for, so hopefully we can carry this into next week’s conference series against DeKalb and get over the hump.”

Morris, which hosts DeKalb at 4:30 p.m. Monday, got two hits each from

Danny Borgstrom (double, 2 RBIs). Ben Larson (double, RBI) and Jordan Miracle, while Walker was 1 for 3 with a RBI and Michael Metesh doubled.

DeKalb 12, Morris 1: A nine-run outburst

by DeKalb in the fifth inning ended the game by the 10-run rule. Starter Danny Borgstrom suffered the loss for Morris (8-12. 2-4), getting relief help from Colton Akre and Michael Metesh.

ProvidenceCatholic2,Morris0: Onetimely hit could have been the game-changer Friday night, as Morris’ Abby Burns threw a complete game, giving up seven hits and one earned run while striking out three. Morris had two runners on in the bottom of the second with one out, but was unable to capitalize. Morris had runners in scoring position in the third inning with one out and again left the runners stranded. Offensively for the Redskins, Janelle Brehm led the way with two hits, while Amanda Jenkins and Melissa Benson each added a hit.

Morris 7, Streator 2: On Saturday, a strong seventh inning locked in a win for Morris (13-4). Morris trailed 2-1 going into the sixth but took the 3-2 lead on

Morris’ Shannon to play football for Benedictine University

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – One of the most familiar sights of the 2015 football season for the Morris Redskins’ team was that of No. 54 out on the field.

Senior quad-captain Jackson Shannon rarely left the field, as he anchored both the offensive and defensive lines.

Although the team finished 4-5 and missed the playoffs, Shannon was a mainstay.

On Wednesday, Shannon, a 6-foot4, 255-pounder, signed to continue his football career at Benedictine University in Lisle.

It was a combination of proximity and education that prompted Shannon’s decision.

“I like that it’s pretty close by,” he said. “We have to stay on campus because of all the time we will be spending with football, but it’s only about 3540 minutes to swing home if I need to,

or if my parents [Troy and Nikki] want to come up and see me.

“Plus, they have a good school of education. I want to major in physical education and be a teacher and coach when I get out of college.”

Before he does that, though, he will have to find a place where he fits on the Eagles’ roster. As of now, he said they project him as a defensive end.

His high school coach, Alan Thorson, believes Shannon has what it takes to succeed at the next level. Especially when he will have a familiar face in former Redskin teammate Chase Hansen to buddy up with when he arrives on campus. Hansen will be a sophomore tight end for the Eagles next season.

“I think Jackson has that explosiveness and speed that they will like,” Thorson said. “Especially on the defensive side. He is very quick for a guy his size and he should be able to use that to his advantage. Plus, he will have Chase there to kind of show him the ropes.

to the next level and you are on your own. It’s not your hometown team anymore and all your buddies you grew up with aren’t there with you. It’s on you, and you have to also balance new responsibilities and challenges with school, sports and social. I think he can do it. He was a full-time starter for us both his junior and senior years and came up and played some varsity as a sophomore, so he has played a lot of high-quality football.”

For Shannon, whether he plays ofRob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com fense or defense isn’t that big of a deal.

“I am just ready to be done with Nikki Shannon (from left), Jackson Shannon, Troy Shannon and Morris football high school and move on and play footcoach Alan Thorson are all smiles after ball,” he said. “They want me to play Jackson signed to play football at Benedic- defensive end, which is fine with me because I don’t want to get any fatter. tine University on Wednesday.

But, if they change their minds and want me to play on the offensive line, I think he should be able to see some I know they will be able to help me put time in JV games right away, for sure, on weight. and maybe some varsity games.”

Seneca then lost a 3-1 decision to Fieldcrest. Winsor again led the offense, going 3 for 4 game with an RBI. Taylor Bushman suffered the toughluck loss, as none of the Fieldcrest runs were earned. Bushman struck out six and did not walk a batter.

Westmont 5, Seneca 2: Hunter Simon was the tough-luck loser on the mound for the Irish (5-16, 2-5). Simon struck out 12 in 52⁄3 innings in the Interstate Eight loss and all five Westmont runs were unearned. Michael Rhodes and Matt Grushkin (home run, 2 RBIs) were each 2 for 3.

Sandwich 3, Coal City 2: Losing pitcher Jared Skubic and Jake Brnca each had a double to lead the offense for the Coalers (14-6, 5-2) in the Interstate Eight loss. Skubic threw six innings, striking out six and walking one.

One man vs. Mother Nature: I won this round

Just over a week ago, my oldest son stopped me and had something to say.

“Hey, Dad,” he announced, “I just wanted to let you know that everyone is coming over to our place for prom pictures.”

Then he left.

I remained frozen in place. My mouth gaped while my mind spun with anxiety. I wandered to the kitchen window and looked at the yard.

What should have been grass resembled a thick stand of alfalfa.

The rolling green stuff was accented every few feet with the sunburst yellow blossoms of the dreaded dandelion. I turned and looked at my wife.

“Don’t forget the dog poop, and by the way, the steps leading down to the dock need to be fixed,” she added.

By this time, I almost felt nauseated. In past years, my yard would have been mowed at least once by this time.

But those bygone days have not dealt with a lawn tractor that decided life is over. My wife encouraged me and said it would be fine.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers

Somehow I doubted it, but I still had a week. No problem.

Then the nasty weather hit.

Rain and wind hampered any effort to tame the wilderness before the weekend. The hours ticked by and my anxiety increased. I even thought about taking a day off work on the Friday before prom to finish the monumental task.

Fast-forward to the Saturday morning of the event. I rolled over in bed and saw the alarm read 6:30 a.m.

Yikes! Half the day had flown by me. I shot from my slumber and thought about the plan of attack.

No doubt the first dubious chore involved scouring the yard from remnants of my dog’s handiwork.

The last thing I needed was to have some prom-goer’s high heel spear last week’s dog treats. With that completed, the next task was to mow

the grass.

Thank goodness my parents were aware of the catastrophic situation set before me.

They brought out their tractor and even took the time to haul one more trailer load of mulch.

As I blazed a path through the tall, wet, grass, I thought there was no way I was going to get all this done before the first guests arrived.

It was time for reinforcements.

I grabbed both boys and explicitly detailed the situation for them. One chose a rake for his weapon while the other did battle with the dandelions.

Part way through my lawn mowing I looked up and saw both my mom and dad had arrived. They were going to help!

It was all hands on deck. As the hours of the morning slipped by, more tasks were completed. Mowing. Done.

Weed-whacking. Accomplished.

Yard mowed. You bet.

The long list of chores toppled before me.

It was time to get cleaned up.

As I threw on some fresh clothes

I heard the tell-tale sign of a car rolling across the gravel drive. Wow. I just made it with only a few minutes to spare.

While the whirlwind of prom pictures erupted in front of me, I took a moment to step back and look at the surrounding yard.

It looked nice. With the help of many hands, the long list had been checked off.

I don’t know what it is about being a human that requires us to try and control nature.

That grass is going to grow again. The weeds are going to appear again, and the amount of hours needed to keep Mother Nature in check is daunting.

But we do it anyway.

As you spend time outdoors this season trying to make your property look nice, take comfort in the process.

Slow down and make it relaxing.

For the sake of my health, I will require my son to give at least two weeks’ notice next year.

The Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame most often rewards head coaches who enjoyed stellar careers from a record standpoint.

Not as frequent is the inclusion of assistant coaches among the elite.

Longtime Coal City assistant Ken Miller was surprised, to say the least. Ken Miller “I got a phone call in December,” said Miller, a familiar figure these days as the director of community relations for the Joliet Slammers. “The gentleman said, ‘Congratulations, you have been elected to our Hall of Fame.’

“Tears came to my eyes. It’s one thing to be recognized by people, but another to be recognized by your peers, to have your name linked to the great coaches.

It’s a great honor.”

The 70-year-old Miller – Ken P. Miller – was nominated for the Hall of Fame by longtime Coal City head coach Ken W. Miller. He was inducted April 2 at the annual Hall of Fame banquet in Champaign.

After three years of coaching football at Cornell High School, Miller was hired at Coal City as a baseball and basketball coach. He coached Coalers’ varsity baseball for 17 years and varsity basketball for 10 years.

“I didn’t get into coaching football right away; we had fall baseball back then,” Miller said. “Coal City started a football program with freshmen and sophomores in 1976.”

Miller began helping with the football program in 1980 and spent 35 years on the gridiron, largely on the staffs of Ken W. Miller and current coach Lenny Onsen. He coached linebackers, receivers, quarterbacks and the offensive line at various times.

“I spent most of my time with the line,” he said.

The current president of the Coal City School Board, Miller’s final season on the football staff was in the fall of 2014.

He spent 17 years teaching U.S. history, civics and physical education at Coal City and then 17 years as the guidance counselor, a position he entered in 1985.

Despite a busy schedule, he said he stayed with football for three main reasons.

“First, it’s not as long a season as basketball,” he said. “Second, the (often poor) baseball weather in the spring.

Third, football starts the school year. It

was always fun to be part of that. Plus, it helped that we were successful. We had a great run, made the playoffs something like 18 years in a row, and I got to work with some great coaches.”

It also was in 1985 when Miller’s first wife, Barbara, the mother of their two children, was killed.

“She was hit on her bicycle,” Miller said. Patricia, who now is a stay-at-home mom in Coal City and tutors students in her home, was 12 at the time. Scott, who works for Caterpillar in Peoria, was 9.

“That was a really difficult time for our family,” Miller said. “But we made it through. We had to. Life goes on.”

Miller married his current wife, Colleen, in 1998. “She is a part-time math teacher at the high school,” he said.

“She’s very good at it. They brought her back after she retired.”

For nearly 20 years, Miller has been a member of the Chicago Pitch & Hit Club, which orchestrates an annual banquet that honors baseball figures from the Chicago area on all levels, the major leagues on down. He has been on the board for most of that time and is a past president.

“An old scout named Charlie Hum was a friend of mine,” he said. “He asked me if I would like to be a member. That’s how I got involved. I’ve really enjoyed my association with the Pitch & Hit Club and also with the Old Timers (Baseball Association of Will County, of which he also is a member).”

The Joliet Slammers’ first general manager, beginning in 2011, was John Dietrich, who was a Pitch & Hit club member.

“We had tickets to a Dodgers game, and John asked me if he did become the Slammers’ general manager, would I like to go to work in Joliet,” Miller said.

“I said sure.

“A lot of my responsibility is in sales.

I sell season tickets once in a while. I represent the club at different organizations. I have really tried to get community nights together. I handle all donation requests.

“It’s busy, and I enjoy it. How could anything be better than working at the ballpark?”

In a sort of retirement, yet still the president the Coal City School Board and director of community relations for the Slammers. That’s the Ken Miller who wears so many hats.

“That’s what has kept me going, doing a lot,” he said.

He is a new inductee to the IHSFCA Hall of Fame, yet his life has been and is so much more than coaching football – which he did for 38 years in all.

By LINDA BASSETT More Content Now

So many people hate leftovers.

I know people who leave the room, decide to work late at the office or call for carry-out at the mere suggestion that leftovers might be on the menu for dinner. But many cooks view leftovers as a challenge. They relish transforming Tuesday’s dinner into something totally unique for Wednesday.

Or on a practical level, leftovers can just be tomorrow’s lunch.

My favorite leftover is meatloaf.

I make two – the first for dinner, the second for leftovers. Sometimes I can’t wait, and as soon as it cools I’ll tuck a slab of cold meatloaf between two slices of thickly buttered country-style bread, before it officially qualifies as a leftover.

As an official leftover, I might fry up slices, plop them on toasted English muffins and top with a poached egg. When an egg is poached just right – a little runny in the center – it makes a beautiful sauce for the meatloaf and muffin. An earthier version of Eggs Benedict. If I really want to transform it, I buy some buratta, small handmade mozzarella with a creamy center, and use that in place of the egg. Burrata must be served at room temperature so the thick cream pours out like a sauce.

Meatloaf with burrata tastes better with a slice of ciabatta or garlic bread in place of the English muffin.

Lately I’ve started playing with a new recipe passed along to me. The main ingredients are sausage and mashed potato. A good start. As a main course, I think it might taste good with a big salad of fresh, crunchy vegetables. It could even shake up brunch paired with a citrus-y fruit salad to cut the richness of the meat-and-potato mixture.

Hints: Use good-quality, lean sausage, not bulk sausage meat.

Choose your favorite uncooked sausages (never one like peperoni or linguica or chorizo) and take off the casings for this recipe.

Use russet or Idaho potatoes with low water content. (By the way an “Idaho” is always a russet, but not all russets grow in Idaho.) Bake the potatoes first to keep the meatloaf from turning

watery.

Many years ago, cookbook author Marion Cunningham wrote down her take on the essential American meatloaf, underlining the need for ketchup and Worcestershire, staples of the American pantry, in the mixture.

It is simple and invites innovation.

She recommended roasting potatoes, carrots and onions alongside the freeform loaf cooked on a baking sheet.

MARION CUNINGHAM’S AMERICAN MEATLOAF Makes 6 servings

2 tablespoons butter 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 to 3 medium carrots, finely chopped 2 to 3 celery stalks, finely chopped 1 pound ground beef ½ pound boneless pork chops, ground 3 cloves garlic, minced 1-¼ cups fresh bread crumbs salt and ground black pepper, to taste ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1-½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce ¼ cup tomato ketchup 1/3 cup water Preheat the oven to 350 F. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook over medium-low heat until tender, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

Put the cooked vegetables in a large bowl.

Mix in meats, garlic, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, cayenne, Worcestershire, ketchup and water. Pat into an 11-by-7-inch oval shaped mound in a baking dish or on a heavy, rimmed sheet pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes.

SAUSAGE AND MASHED POTATO LOAF Makes 6 to 8 servings

¾ pound baking potatoes 1-½ pounds bulk pork sausage 3 eggs, well beaten 8-ounce can kitchen ready tomatoes 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper ¼ teaspoon Tabasco 1-½ cup bread crumbs ½ cup minced onion, optional Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pierce the potatoes with a heavy fork; bake on an oven rack for 1 hour, until tender. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and cool until easy to handle. Scoop pulp, about 1-½ cups, into a large bowl; mash with a fork.

Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.

Remove sausage from the refrigerator; set aside. Add eggs to cooled mashed potatoes; stir until blended. Add half the tomato sauce, the mustard, pepper and Tabasco, bread crumbs, and onion; mix well.

Add sausage meat to the bowl; knead until all ingredients are completely blended. On a lightly greased sheet pan, form the meat mixture into a loaf, about 10 inches by 4 inches by 2-½ inches.

Bake for 1 hour, 10 minutes. Remove from oven; spread with remaining tomato sauce.

Return to the oven; bake 15 minutes longer.

Meatloaf is a dish that invites innovation.

Mashed potato and sausage add a different flavor.
