Joliet Junior College will celebrate its 115th anniversary this year.

That’s right – it was in 1901 that our founders, J. Stanley Brown and William Rainey Harper, started the very first public community college in the country right here in Joliet.

We’ve gone from six students then to a total 38,000 credit-seeking and lifelong learning students today.

Our mission has remained relatively the same: to provide local access to quality higher education at an accessible cost.

Over time, however, our focus has evolved to include workforce development opportunities and business and industry training.

Shifting economies, industries and technologies have encouraged us to develop programs to train students for in-demand jobs in our area.

One of the prime examples of this at work is our new Operations Engineering and Technician Program,

COMMUNITY PULSE Debra Daniels which launched in the fall of 2015.

This new technical program leads graduates directly to local careers in the petrochemical, nuclear and manufacturing industries, responding to industry growth and an increasing number of retirees in these areas.

Collaboration to get this program off the ground was crucial, and I’m proud to share the success with state Sen. Sue Rezin and several local employers.

Our partnerships with business and industry are critical.

Because we engage in productive dialogue with our external partners and use their valuable feedback and insight, our curriculum gives JJC students the skills necessary to match what our area employers need.

LOOKING UP

I would like to personally thank the following industry partners who worked with us to develop the OET curriculum: Aux Sable Liquid Products, Exelon (Braidwood, Dresden and LaSalle Stations), LyondellBasell, Grundy Area Vocational Center, Coal City School District, and the Grundy Economic Development Council.

Since we kicked off the program several months ago, we’ve also received support and investments from other organizations who believe in the importance of this program and the opportunity it provides our residents and businesses.

The international energy company TransCanada has donated a total of $55,000 to purchase modern equipment. Exelon has provided two $1,000 scholarships this spring semester to students in the program.

Students currently in the program already have hands-on internships waiting for them with Exelon,

Lyondell, Starcon, and Manhattan Mechanical, just to name a few.

Since it started, the OET program has received a formal congressional recognition in October 2015 by U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger as well as the 2015 Illinois Council of Community College Administrators Innovation Award.

As we enter into our 115th year, what remains important to us is that our students have opportunities for stable, satisfying careers and that our district companies have access to educated and skilled employees, prepared to succeed in their chosen field.

• Debra Daniels is the president at Joliet Junior College. Community Pulse is a weekly column that provides a dedicated space for Grundy County-area nonprofits, schools, organizations and sometimes Morris Herald-News staff to share news and information about their organization.

Special Connections makes thank-you bags for area police officers

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The smell of popcorn filled the air Saturday afternoon at Special Connections of Grundy County as 12 participants in the nonprofit’s programs gathered to make 70 thank-you bags for their biggest supporters.

The bags will be sent this week to the police departments of Morris, Minooka, Coal City and Shorewood, as well as the Grundy County and Will County sheriff’s offices.

The agencies have been big contributors in furthering Special Connections’ mission, which is to connect people with disabilities to their community through social interactions, education, recreational opportunities and shared information. It promotes an environment of inclusion, self-determination and knowledge, according to the website.

The idea was introduced

by Chris Kirsch, whose daughter swims on behalf of Special Connections. Kirsch has been involved with Special Connections since it started in 2010, she said, adding that Illinois is the No. 2 state in the country in terms of raising money for Special Olympics through police departments.

“I’ve seen other places do things like this,” Kirsch said. “I just thought it’d be awesome to show apprecia-

Toddler Time COAL CITY – Toddler Time is held every month at the Coal City Library as a time for toddlers and their parents to get together for a craft and unstructured play time.

On Saturday a group of three moms and their four daughters made snowmen crafts and played together with a dollhouse, musical instruments and a pretend grocery store. Jen Williams, a staff member at the Coal City Public Library, said they sometimes end up with children who no long fit the normal definition of toddler but they don’t turn them away if they come out to play.

She said the monthly group is a great way for parents to get together and talk while the children play.

• THANKS

Continued from page 3 Snickers, candy canes and more. The bags were enclosed with a ribbon and a Special Connections tag.

“We’ve got a pretty good system going on,” Special Connections Executive Director Kelly Thompson said as group churned out bags.

Special Connections participants and Special Olympics athletes Aaron Eucker and Becky Shark said it was important to thank police for their contributions because of all they do for their communities and Special Connections.

Because of Special Connections, Eucker and Shark said they are able to compete in basketball, bowling, golf and bocce ball, which helps them live an active lifestyle.

“Special Connections helps me do sports I couldn’t do in school,” Shark said.

While Eucker’s favorite sport is basketball, Shark’s favorite is bowling. But they agree on the redeeming qualities of Special Connections: They said they enjoy it because they can hang out with friends, try new things and

challenge themselves.

Everyone at the table Saturday afternoon joked and laughed with country music in the background. Kirsch said it’s always a family atmosphere when the group gets together.

“It’s fun to get these guys together for things like this,” Kirsch said. “They’re a really great group.”

The event Saturday was the start of Special Connections’ 2016 calendar year of activities.

Founded in 2010, the organization’s list of events and activities has grown each year thanks to community support.

This year will be the first where Special Connections has either a social or leisure activity planned for its participants every month.

This is in addition to the organization’s involvement in Special Olympics, which continues to grow.

The annual Faculty vs.

The Fuzz basketball game is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 27, at Morris Community High School. Last year, more than $2,000 was raised at the event for Special Connections of Grundy County and Illinois Special Olympics.

Jail security down for 10 hours in December

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In December, the security system at the Grundy County jail went down for 10 hours, highlighting a need to look at security upgrades to the more than 15-year-old system, according to Sheriff Kevin Callahan.

“We have an issue with the security system,” Callahan said.

The system is made up of computers and cameras in cell blocks and some cells, as well as an intercom system so officers can speak with inmates from the control room.

The security system also is used to open cell doors from a touch screen computer in the control room.

Callahan said he understands the county is facing less revenue, but he doesn’t want to expose the county to liability if the security system goes down and something happens medically to an in-

mate. He has not received a bid to replace or upgrade the current system, but he estimates it will be in the tens of thousands of dollars.

“The cell blocks that we thought we could use, the key to open we found out there was no power to the boxes, so it can take up to 10 minutes manually to open them. That is too long if there is an issue,” Callahan said.

Callahan said to his knowledge, the system has never gone down since it was installed, but there are concerns that it happened last month.

The company that is paid monthly for maintenance is located in Indiana, and the parts for the system have to be bought from aftermarkets, as they are no longer being made. Callahan said that adds more concern to response time and how long the system could be down if it has more issues.

Grundy County Adminis-

“The cell blocks that we thought we could use, the key to open we found out there was no power to the boxes, so it can take up to 10 minutes manually to open them. That is too long if there is an issue.”

trator Doug Pryor said the the scope of work needed is up and running for our staff county will act accordingly to determined. at the jail as well as the inget the system upgraded once “We want to make sure it’s mates,” Pryor said.

Former Colts coach Marchibroda dies at age 84

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Former NFL coach Ted Marchibroda charmed players with his soft-spoken personality and his innovative concepts.

Fans appreciated his downto-earth descriptions and his ability to win games.

On Saturday, the NFL lost one of its great innovators. After confirming the death with his family, the Indianapolis Colts announced that Marchibroda died at age 84.

He coached the Colts twice – for five years in Baltimore and four years in Indianapolis – and is the only man to have coached both Baltimore franchises, the Colts and Ravens.

He was probably one of the few who could have been accepted by both communities after the Colts’ move from Baltimore, too.

“Ted was as humble as they come, and he represented the Colts and our community with class both off the field and on,” Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay

said in a statement. “He was beloved by many, and will be sorely missed.”

Marchibroda was a masterful coach.

He accepted the Baltimore Colts’ job in 1975 and immediately led them to three consecutive AFC East titles. He lost that job after the 1979 season, but his career was still taking off.

Marchibroda bounced around the NFL for nearly a decade as an assistant with the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles. In 1987, he was hired by Marv Levy in Buffalo, which is where Marchibroda introduced the groundbreaking K-Gun offense. The Bills used that version of the no-huddle offense to win four straight AFC championships – and the principles are still used in today’s more modern offenses.

In 1992, the Colts, now in Indy, gave Marchibroda a second chance and he again had instant success. The Colts went 9-7 in his first season, after going 1-15 in 1991, and

in 1995, Marchibroda nearly pulled off a seemingly impossible run through the playoffs by leading the Colts to wins at San Diego and Kansas City before losing at Pittsburgh after Jim Harbaugh’s Hail Mary pass fell incomplete on the game’s final play.

Marchibroda went 71-58 in nine seasons with the Colts and 2-4 in the playoffs. He was the first head coach inducted into Indy’s Ring of Honor.

“Ted Marchibroda, a Life-Changer, a Winner & a AP file photo Champion all the way. Forever Proud to be ur QB,” Harbaugh Former Baltimore Colts head coach Ted Marchibroda smiles before a posted on his Twitter feed.

Minooka girls bowling team looking to improve on weekend’s performance / 11

The Minooka girls bowling team practices before the afternoon session at the Charles Butterfield Invitational on Saturday at Echo Lanes.

GIRLS BOWLING: 10TH ANNUAL CHARLES BUTTERFIELD INVITATIONAL

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Amid the hustle of a 14-team varsity and JV girls bowling tournament, there are a multitude of stories worth telling.

Such was the case Saturday at the 10th annual Charles Butterfield Invitational at Echo Lanes.

Excitement was brewing during the fifth game of the day, where Oswego East teammates Abby Ragsdale and Kiana Krahulik both strung together strikes and had perfect games. Krahulik was the first to miss and finished out with a 289. Ragsdale, who won the individual championship, saw her strike streak reach 11, then left one pin on her final bid, ending her search for a perfect game with a 299. She finished with an 801 series, which Morris coach and event organizer Harry Banks said was the second 800 series in tournament history.

Even with two different girls coming so close to a perfect game, Oswego East wasn’t able to overcome the excellence of West Aurora’s lineup, which won the championship by 40 pins over Oswego East. Defending champ Joliet West finished third.

Meanwhile, Minooka and its sister act took eighth. The Indians’ varsity team includes sisters Carmella, Nora and Gina Russell, along with Kristina Sickler and Cheryl Eyman.

Carmella Russell, a junior, led the Indians with a six-game se-

“I was a little disappointed in our performance, to be honest,” Minooka coach Frank Yudzentis said. “We still have a ways to go and we are nowhere close to where we need

to be. We’ve got a tough invitational coming up that we are hosting at Channahon Lanes.

Our home lanes are at Town & Country, but we host an invitational at Channahon that’s actually a road match for us.

“This tournament is always a good one. You have teams like Oswego East, West Aurora and Joliet West that are elite teams

in the state, and we have Plainfield South and Lincoln-Way West that are in our sectional and both of them beat us today.

We were spread pretty thin today. When the sectional comes, we will have 13 girls so we can be quick with a hook if things aren’t going our way. Having three sisters on the team, things can get pretty compet-

itive between them. I thought Carmella Russell had a very good day today.”

The Indians will be able to call on JV bowlers when the sectional arrives. Minooka finished second on the JV level at the Butterfield Invitational and was led by Becky Nickel’s six-game total of 1,067, which included a high game of 256.

AREA ROUNDUP

Late Morris rally falls short STAFF REPORTS DeKALB – A hot fourth quarter for Morris almost cost the DeKalb girls basketball team a home victory, but the Barbs survived for a 39-32 win on Friday night.

The Barbs came out of the locker room at halftime and went on an offensive surge to almost put the game out of reach for Morris.

After a first half in which DeKalb (4-13 overall, 2-4 Northern Illinois Big 12) held a 13-11 lead, the Barbs pushed their lead to 34-13 into the fourth quarter.

The 21-point quarter was powered by DeKalb’s ability to score points in the paint and dominate the defensive rebounding category.

“We just came into the second half with a lot more intensity,” DeKalb coach Heath Kent said. “We wanted to get the ball inside and that’s what we did. Once we hit a few shots the ball just started rolling and we carried that momentum down the stretch.”

Starting the fourth quarter, Morris (6-13, 3-4) went on an offensive run of their own, finishing the quarter with 19 points – more than they scored in the first three quarters combined.

Morris found their groove and were knocking down key shots

to chip away at the big DeKalb lead, but even with the Barbs turning the ball over and giving them a chance to complete the comeback, Morris was still feeling the effects of its lack of defense in the third quarter.

“I was really happy with our defense three quarters of the game and obviously the third quarter was a little rough,” Morris coach Kate Carey said.

“I think if our defense had played the third quarter the same way we played the other three quarters, that scoring we had in the fourth quarter would’ve been enough for us to possibly win the game.”

Payoff for impasse not worth its price

A lot of folks have taken to calling Bruce Rauner “Governor 1 Percent” because of his immense personal wealth.

Rauner himself told the Chicago Sun-Times during the 2014 campaign that he was in the top one-tenth of 1 percent of income earners.

But, right now, anyway, he ought to be referred to as “Governor 1.4 percent.”

Why? Stay with me a bit and I’ll explain.

I sat down for an interview last week with Rauner. As with just about every reporter, Rauner blamed House Speaker Michael Madigan for stifling his beloved Turnaround Agenda.

The governor said he was “frustrated” with Madigan for saying that his anti-union, pro-business reforms were “unrelated to the budget.”

“For example,” Rauner said, “if we can get business regulatory change so I can recruit manufacturer’s here and more transportation companies here, and more businesses here, we can generate billions of new revenue without raising tax rates. That’s directly tied to the budget.”

“Billions?” I asked.

“Billions,” he replied, while promising to send me a detailed analysis.

A few days later, his staff emailed me a memo that the governor had sent to lawmakers last fall. You can see it yourself at CapitolFax.com/turnaround.

But the memo didn’t really say much of anything about revenues, other than if the governor could get Illinois to “average” levels of unemployment and Gross State Product and if the governor could stop the migration of Illinoisans to other states, his agenda would produce a grand total of $510 million in additional revenues.

That ain’t “billions.”

While $510 million seems like a lot of money, the governor’s

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller projected revenue growth from his Turnaround Agenda would only be a 1.4 percent increase over the last state fiscal year.

Hence, “Gov. 1.4 percent.”

And would it even be that much? Rauner has said he would agree to higher state taxes if legislators agree to his Turnaround Agenda. But as a Republican legislative friend pointed out to me last week, that tax hike will reduce growth, even with all of Rauner’s agenda items.

Let’s go back to the memo.

The governor claims the state would save $1.75 billion by making his demanded changes to union collective bargaining laws. About $750 million of that would come from cutting health care costs for state employees.

The rest isn’t explained.

To be fair, Rauner’s memo also claims that local governments would save billions more with his reforms, but some of his numbers just don’t add up, such as overstating the savings on allowing governments to opt out of prevailing wage requirements on nonfederal projects.

I’m not all opposed to doing some pro-business reforms. I think an easy case can be made that workers’ comp costs are far too high, for example. But one of the greatest charitable groups in the history of this state, Lutheran Social Services of Illinois, is facing an existential crisis because the government owes it $6 million.

In my opinion, the payoff for continuing this governmental impasse is not worth the price being paid.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The right lead leads to success

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Fletcher Knebel, who wrote political fiction and died in 1993, said, “Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.”

When you play bridge, keeping some statistics is not a bad idea.

In a duplicate, for example, note how many times your opponents go down undoubled. If a lot, you are not doubling enough.

When you are on opening lead, how often do you find the best start?

You must treat this one carefully, because some “best opening leads” are effectively impossible to find.

Look only at the West hand. What would you lead against four spades?

On the second round of the auction, South might have rebid three hearts because North could have had three spades and five or even six hearts. But jumping to four spades gave less information to the defenders.

Leads fall into two categories: active (positively trying to win tricks) and passive (attempting not to give anything away and waiting for tricks to fall into the defenders’ laps). Here, the diamond two is the active lead; a black suit, passive; a heart, potentially suicidal! (Typically, a trump is passive, but can be active if it cuts down declarer’s ruffing power.)

Active leads work better than passive on most deals. It is often hard to recognize those deals on which one should go passive.

Here, the diamond deuce is the killing lead ... as long as East does not think it is a singleton.

If East takes the first trick and shifts to his singleton, the defenders can take one diamond, two hearts and a heart ruff.

Couple’s excessive drinking strains longtime friendship Dear Abby: My wife and I have been friends with another couple, “Bill” and “Emily,” for 20 years. We usually have dinner together once every four to six weeks.

In the past, everyone enjoyed a cocktail or a glass of wine with dinner and nobody overdid it. But over the past year or so, it is clear they have started drinking earlier in the day, before we arrive. They each consume multiple drinks while my wife and I are still on our first. Emily often is noticeably drunk within the first hour and excuses herself to go to bed while Bill continues drinking. Often, dinner plans at their house or at a nearby restaurant must be canceled because of this behavior.

When they visit our home, Emily helps herself to several

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips glasses of wine before dinner and then passes out in our guest room, while Bill sits on the couch rambling on and we speed up the cooking to get food on the table. When dinner is finished, we suggest it’s time to call it a night. Our get-togethers are now over in less than two hours.

How do we tell these otherwise nice friends that they drink too much? – Unwilling

Bartender in Arizona Dear Bartender: The next

time Bill and Emily come to your home for dinner, make sure your liquor is locked up and don’t serve any. If you

are asked about the omission, you and your wife should tell them that you have decided to “cut back” on your alcohol consumption because it will enable you to enjoy their company more. (I wish you could videotape their reaction.)

It will be interesting to see if you still enjoy their company when they are sober, and vice versa. If they take offense and decide to socialize with you less often, don’t take it personally. Realize that alcohol now rules their lives.

I do not think you should try to perform an “intervention” because it doesn’t appear you are close enough to them to do it with much success.

Dear Abby: I was married for 27 years before my divorce.

The ending of my marriage

was both painful and unexpected. I was in therapy throughout the divorce and for some time after.

Later, I moved to another state so I no longer would have to risk running into him.

But just when I think I have moved on, something is said or something happens that brings my pain and anger back to the surface.

I heard once that when one is in a serious relationship, it can take twice as long to get over it. Is this the same for a marriage? Can I expect it to take 2 times 27 years before I finally am over my ex and my divorce? – Unexpected Divorce Dear U.D.: There is no set timetable for “getting over” a divorce. Much depends on the reasons for it. Some people hang onto their pain and an-

ger for the rest of their lives.

Others grow beyond the experience and are able to move on. They cultivate new friends and interests, and sometimes find a romance to replace the one that was lost. I predict you will move beyond your pain and anger when you are ready for another relationship.

Dear Readers: In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose birthday we remember today: “To retaliate in kind would do nothing but intensify the existence of hate in the universe. Along the way of life, someone must have sense enough, and morality enough, to cut off the chain of hate.”
