“We are concerned with Ballard’s whereabouts,” Callahan said.

Callahan said Thursday that in Jonathon interviews with Grundy County P. Ballard detectives, Franc implicated Ballard in at least three Grundy County burglaries she admitted being a part of. According to Grundy County court records, Ballard was convicted of theft on a January

department had interviewed Franc and is seeking a warrant for her arrest in relation to a residential burglary on Jan. 7.

Last week, Franc was arrested in DuPage County. Grundy County deputies were conducting surveillance on Franc after identifying her as a suspect in several burglaries. They followed her to Willowbrook, where they observed activities consistent with a possible residential burglary. After confirming a home was burglarized, her vehicle was stopped and she was taken into custody and booked into the DuPage County Jail.

Young adults use Sharpies, rubbing alcohol to make diffusion coasters

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – You don’t need mass-produced, cheap plastic or cork drink coasters when you can make your own.

The Morris Area Public Library held a young adult craft event Thursday evening, where participants had the opportunity to personalize plain ceramic coasters with assorted Sharpie colors through the process of diffusion.

Diffusion is defined as the movement of molecules from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area, and it usually happens in a gas or liquid.

Participants started by using Sharpies to color the coasters in any shapes or lines they wished. Then, to begin diffusion, participants dropped rubbing alcohol on the ceramic tiles, which forces the Sharpie ink to spread around the coaster depending on how much is used and how much one tilts the tiles.

For some, less was more.

For others, such as 13-year-old Anna White, a coaster full of color did the trick. White used almost every color in the rainbow to cover her first coaster.

On her second coaster, White drew medium-sized orange, turquoise, blue and purple dots. White, who is homeschooled and has 10 siblings, said programs like this one at the library are a chance to add more artwork to her routine “I like doing crafts,” White said. “I want to do stuff like this.”

Macey Sorden, a sixth-grader at Shabbona Middle School, wiped the coaster clean a few times to start over, but ended up lining the edge of one with a rainbow pattern. She said she’s not a perfectionist.

“I just didn’t know what I wanted to do with it,” Sorden said.

This program allowed Sor-

Anna White, 13, designs her second of four diffusion drink coasters Thursday at the Morris Area Public Library. den to get creative also. She said with not much art activity lately at school and the fact that her family just moved, she hasn’t been able to craft of late.

While White finished four coasters, Sorden elected to do one. But she’ll find a use for it.

“I’ll probably use it in my room,” Sorden said.

The nice thing, Morris Library teen coordinator Rose Nowak said, is you can continue the project at home. Sharpies and rubbing alcohol should be readily available.

The coasters take time to dry. When dry, Nowak sprayed them with Mod Podge clear acrylic sealer. Some participants had to return later to pick theirs up.

Melissa Cardone, who

“I like that no two tiles were the same and everybody went different ways with it,” Cardone said. “It’s always fun to see who shows up and what they make.”

The next teen program, Castles & Catapults, is scheduled

for 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday.

Teams will design and build their kingdom’s castle and siege weapons. Then, they’ll go to “war” with the other

kingdoms. Those interested in registering for Morris Library young adult programs can do so by visiting http://morrislibrary.com/youngadult.html.

8 Seminar representative reminds farmers

not to cut their insurance to cut costs • CROPS

Continued from page 4 more expensive but protects the farmer from drops in revenue because of crop market value.

“In Grundy County, 10 percent of farmers carry yield insurance, which is higher than the state average for yield insurance,” he said during the presentation.

Neither insurance covers 100 percent for the farmer.

There is a deductible similar to other insurances that a farmer chooses when getting coverage.

“Each year, things change within the federal crop insurance,” said Tasha Bunting, manager of the Grundy County Farm Bureau. “We want to bring in experts in that field

“Crop insurance is the most valuable tool in the toolbox when it comes to protection. Farmers take a financially significant risk every year.”

Doug Yoder Country Financial crop agency manager to help farmers make the best decisions for them, their farm and the crops they produce.”

Yoder said the seminars give them the opportunity to go over the enhancements that came with the 2014 farm bill, and also discuss any new changes. He said 2016 will only include minor changes, among them the addition of crop insurance on popcorn in Grundy County.

“Crop insurance is the most valuable tool in the toolbox when it comes to protection,”

Yoder said. “Farmers take a financially significant risk every year.”

He said the biggest message he would like farmers to get from his seminars is that he understands the farmer’s need to cut expenses, with the cost of getting crops planted rising higher and higher, but they shouldn’t be cutting those costs by cutting their insurance.

“I realize they need to cut costs, but they are going to need all the protection they can get,” he said.

French author Edmonde Charles-Roux dies at 95 The ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS – Edmonde Charles-Roux, a French writer who was among the founding editors of Elle magazine and a longtime editor of Vogue before turning to literature, has died. She was 95.

The Academie Goncourt, whose prize she won with her novel “To Forget Palermo,” said she died late Wednesday in her hometown of Marseille.

The daughter of a diplomat who spent most of her

childhood outside France, Charles-Roux obtained a nursing degree in 1939 when World War II broke out. She was wounded in a bombing in 1940 and ultimately was honored by the French Foreign Legion.

At the war’s end, she worked for the newly founded Elle before ultimately becoming chief editor of Vogue until 1966.

She was forced out, according to the newspaper Le Monde, when she wanted to put a nonwhite woman on the magazine’s cover.

Mrinalini Sarabhai, legendary Indian dancer, dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW DELHI – Legendary Indian classical dancer, Mrinalini Sarabhai, has died from complications related to old age, her family said.

“My mother Mrinalini Sarabhai has just left for her eternal dance,” her daughter and noted classical Indian dancer Mallika Sarabhai said in a Facebook post.

Mrinalini Sarabhai was born in the southern Indian state of Kerala and was educated in Switzerland and Kolkata, where she began her training as a dancer.

She did a short stint at the American Academy of Dra-

She began her career as a dancer of the classical Indian dance form, Bharatanatyam, but also mastered Kathakali, a stylized form of Indian dance-drama from her home state of Kerala.

In 1948, Sarabhai set up the Darpana Academy of Performing Art in Ahmadabad. Over

In a dance career spanning more than seven decades, Sarabhai gave hundreds of performances and trained thousands of dancers and choreographers.

Condemned serial killer dies in hospital, not death chamber

By JANET McCONNAUGHEY The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS – Serial killer Derrick Todd Lee was sentenced to be executed years ago, but instead he died Thursday in a Louisiana hospital.

Lee, 47, was taken from prison to the hospital early Saturday and died shortly before 9 a.m. Thursday, Department of Public Safety and Corrections spokeswoman Pam Laborde said in an emailed statement.

He had been sentenced to life for one murder and to death for killing 22-year-old Charlotte Murray Pace, who was stabbed 81 times and bludgeoned with an iron in May 2002. DNA evidence linked him to at least five other killings, officials said.

“It’s good that he is not there to take up space that will now be filled up by remembering Murray and loving Murray,” Pace’s mother, Ann Pace, said through tears in a telephone interview Thursday from her home in Jackson, Mississippi.

QUICK WINS

Coal City wrestlers make short work of opponents Peptone, Westmont / 15

Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com

Coal City’s Brock Crawford (top) controls his Peotone opponent during the Coalers’ 70-9 win Thursday night in Coal City.

WRESTLING: COAL CITY 70, PEOTONE 9; COAL CITY 66, WESTMONT 12

COAL CITY – The Little Coalers wrestling club picked a good night to watch the Coal City varsity wrestling team Thursday night.

That’s because the varsity team put on a clinic in defeating Peotone, 70-9, and Westmont, 66-12, in improving their season dual record to 28-1.

In both matches, many of the bouts were over before a minute passed, as Coal City wrestlers routinely hit for quick takedowns and pins.

They looked like a team on a mission.

“We are going pretty well right now,” Coal City coach Mark Masters said about his club, which finished third in the state in Class 1A last season. “We still are taking things one step at a time. We have a tough regional, then there are sectionals. We didn’t make the state title match last year, so is that a goal for us in the long term this year? Yes, it is. But we aren’t looking past anyone to get there.

“Our kids do a good job of keeping their intensity level high. In matches like this, where we the other teams are a little under-manned, we still have high intensity. That comes from the practice room, and it comes from the kids. I

can preach it, but they are the ones that have to do it, and they have been doing it all year.”

The Coalers have depth up and down the lineup, as well as a few wrestlers who can perform at different weights.

For example, Riley Kauzlaric got a pin in each match, winning at 195 against Westmont and 220 against Peotone.

Jonah Englert also got a pair of pins, both at 160, while Alex Friddle (106), Ryan Wasielewski (126), Max Rowell (145), Danny Norton (152), Alex Leasure (182) and Brock Crawford (220) each had one.

“Our lineup is in good shape,” Masters said. “We are pretty solid top to bottom and at both the top and bottom, we have a couple of guys who can go at a couple different weights. Before the match, they know what they weighed in at, but they also know they might have to wrestle at a different weight. It doesn’t matter to them. They just know that there is another guy out there and he’s dangerous.

“I am real happy with the way the kids are working hard and keeping their intensity level up. I tell them that I get to sit the entire match in a comfortable chair and watch. They are the ones that have to go out and battle on the mat. They know what it takes to compete at a high level and they do it.”

Election year brings new gun law questions With 2016 finally showing up, it looks like we are embroiled in the middle of a big election year. If you thought the rhetoric was hot before, just wait. It undoubtedly will crank up some more.

As with every election, there are issues that seem to dominate the debates and send throngs of citizens into passionate discussion. This year we have seen many of these start to take shape, but the one that impacts us as outdoors enthusiasts is the discussion of gun laws and how they may or may not change.

Every single day I see propaganda from both sides of the issue stream across social media sites. Liberals find facts that support their side. Conservatives find facts to bolster their position. It doesn’t stop. Add in the unbelievable number of shootings that seem to take place all across the world and we realize this topic is far from settled.

There is no way that I am going to sit here, type this col-

umn, and try to sway you one way or the other. This debate has raged for years and it will continue to do so. I am not going to change that. But, I have been in the unique position to have witnessed the reality of firearms in this country. Right or wrong, these are things that I have seen first hand.

I sold firearms for a while. I was a sales rep and some of the product lines that we carried were from gun manufacturers.

I can honestly tell you, that every single time gun laws made the news, sales spiked.

I won’t mention company names, but one manufacturer I know was selling 20,000 units a month of one model of handgun. I know this for a fact because the national sales manager told me. This was not second-hand gossip. Now think about all the different models made from all the manufacturers out there. We are talking a serious number being sold across the country every year.

Yes, that particular handgun was extremely popular at the

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers time so I guess those numbers represent the high end.

Another hot topic, at least for Illinois, is the conceal carry law. Illinois was light years behind other states in passing a law and once they did, thousands of citizens from our state jumped on board to take the course work necessary to legally carry a concealed firearm. I myself have completed half of the requirements and need to finish up sometime.

But, during my first half of training and while learning to be a NRA Range Safety Officer, I experienced a few things. One, I don’t care how tough you are or think your are, when the barrel of a gun is pointed your way it’s terrifying.

During our range work there were life-like paper targets of bad guys pointing back at you. Even though they were

just printouts, the point was made. The instructors wanted to make it crystal clear this wasn’t fun and games. Point taken.

Another thing I learned was just as sobering. During our NRA instruction it was drilled into our brains that if you are asleep and you are startled awake by an intruder in your bedroom it is too late to do anything. You are not going to be able reach for you weapon and protect yourself so don’t even try. Another scary reality check. You may disagree, but they had the science and the numbers to prove it. And this was from the NRA, not some anti-gun group.

With that said, after the second of the Coal City tornadoes, my family had a terrifying incident. Two complete scuzzy creeps pulled into our driveway and started looking around. My driveway is ¼-mile through the woods where people just do not show up. They walked in my garage, looked at the lake, and checked out the house. Of

course, I was not home but the rest of the family was. My wife and boys made sure the door was locked and called a friend of ours who is a cop. They found the pickup truck and pulled them over. One of them was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Those two unsavory individuals were checking out the house for sure.

Once again, I am not trying to sway people on this issue, but coming into an important election year it is critical that each of us try to sift through the clutter and make the best informed decision we can.

Where do you stand? Have you changed your opinion over the years? I know I have rethought this issue based on my own experiences, and I’m sure it will continue to evolve. Election year 2016 will bring plenty of news regarding gun laws. Only time will tell what is actually going to happen.

OPINION

17

WASHINGTON – Watching Rebecca Friedrichs stroll down the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court last week brought to mind a biblical image: David facing Goliath.

Friedrichs is a California elementary school teacher who chose to take on organized labor. She didn’t like how a union she did not agree with was taking money from her paycheck.

Being forced to give money to a group she disagrees with struck her not only as unfair but as a basic violation of her right to free speech.

For example, she doesn’t like how tenure protects bad teachers. But the California Teachers Association, which she is compelled to give money to, defends tenure. And she was angered when the union wouldn’t stand up for quality teachers with low seniority when her school district had layoffs. In half of the states, Friedrichs wouldn’t have to give her union a dime.

But in states such as California (and Illinois) that don’t have right-to-work laws, she can be compelled to give a union money just to keep her job. The situation so angered Friedrichs that she fought it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

If the high court rules in Friedrichs’ favor, it’s likely that anyone who works for any unit of local, state or federal government anywhere in the United States no longer would have to pay unions anything.

They could choose to, but they wouldn’t have to. Why just government workers? Because everything government does is political. And, in political matters, free speech is paramount.

Chief Justice John Roberts asked the California solicitor general who argued against Friedrichs’ position to give an example of “nonpolitical speech” that the union negotiates at the bargaining table.

The example David Frederick, a lawyer for unions

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Scott Reeder involved in the case, gave was mileage reimbursement rates.

But Roberts countered that even that constitutes political speech because it deals with how tax dollars should be spent.

“Everything that is collectively bargained with the government is within the political sphere,” Justice Antonin Scalia said.

Most Americans would say it would be wrong to force a Democrat to fund the Republican Party or for a Republican to be compelled to give to the Democratic Party. But, for years, government has allowed another group of political players – labor unions – to be treated much differently. Frederick said a ruling in favor of Friedrichs would create a class of “free riders” who benefit from union-negotiated wages and benefits but refuse to support the unions financially. But Roberts found that contention silly.

“If employees have shown overwhelmingly they want collective bargaining, it seems to me the ‘free rider’ problem is insignificant,” he said.

Justice Anthony Kennedy said the issue is one of “compelled riders,” not “free riders.”

“The union is basically making these teachers compelled riders on issues which they strongly disagree,” he said.

For most Americans, that situation just seems wrong. And if the questions asked by the Supreme Court justices this month are any indication, most of them think so, too.

OUR VIEW

School funding at stake in impasse Illinois’ ongoing budget crisis is putting a strain on our system of higher education, and it is important that our leaders in the Legislature and the governor work to end this impasse.

There is simply too much at stake.

Among those hardest hit by the lack of state funding for higher ed are those students who rely on tuition grants from the $373 million Monetary Assistance Program, or MAP. Also feeling the squeeze are institutions with a large percentage of students who rely on those grants.

Most Illinois universities and community colleges were able to cover about $187 million for unpaid Monetary Assistance Program grants in the second half of 2015.

Northern Illinois University has said it will continue to temporarily cover the unpaid MAP grant funds, and so has Joliet Junior College, which serves Grundy County. But others say they can no longer afford to do so for the spring semester.

Perhaps as a result, the Wall Street Journal reported

this week that about 1,000 Illinois college students had dropped out this year.

Directly as a result, leaders at Chicago State University, a public university with an enrollment of about 4,000 on Chicago’s South Side, said it would be unable to make its payroll if it does not receive funding by March.

Many students at Chicago State are low-income, and the school is the first in the public university system to give a real, not-so-distant date that it could face closing its doors.

An aide to Gov. Bruce Rauner this month released a statement denouncing “cronyism” among state universities, and chiding school administrators for not making cutbacks in expenses as tuition costs have risen.

Given that NIU’s president is under investigation by the Office of the Executive Investigator General, and that the school has been found to have improperly reimbursed one consultant for travel from his home in Washington State, and the fact that large institutions are often slow to fold low-per-

forming programs or identify and eliminate unnecessary spending, this accusation isn’t entirely off-base.

However, starving the system is not the solution.

DeKalb is but one of several communities around the state whose economies rely on providing this vital service to people young and old who seek knowledge. What would Champaign, Urbana, Bloomington, Normal, Carbondale, Charleston or Macomb be without the institutions that are based there?

What about the hundreds of thousands of Illinois workers who have gotten their start because of education they received?

Higher education is too important to our state’s economy, its people and its reputation to allow this standoff to continue, and the cracks in our system to continue to widen. There may have to be some reductions in spending, both on the state’s part and the universities’ part.

But the time to reach those compromises has long since come. The time for rhetoric has passed. Now, agreement is needed.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The Christmas declarer-play problem

CELEBRITY CIPHER

In my Christmas Competition, you had to plan the play in four hearts after West led the diamond 10.

You win with the ace, draw trumps, and lead your remaining diamond.

If West plays low, put in dummy’s seven.

Then you cannot go down! Suppose East returns a diamond. You discard a spade from hand, cash the spade ace, ruff a spade, return to dummy with a trump, ruff the last spade, and play a club to the jack. You must either get a club trick or benefit from a ruff-andsluff.

If West puts up the diamond eight or nine at trick four, win with dummy’s king and lead the diamond seven.

If East covers, discard a spade.

Here, again, you make the contract by eliminating spades and endplaying East in clubs.

Or, if East plays a low diamond, you ruff and continue with the spade jack.

If West does not cover, you play low from dummy and once more will get home.

Or, if West covers with the spade queen or king, you win with the ace and lead back a spade. If East wins that trick, you are safe.

At the worst, West takes this trick and shifts to a club.

Then you must hope that West has one of the high clubs (as you must if hearts are 3-0).

For the second question, giving a bidding sequence after East opens one diamond, please refer to the diagram (but I accepted anything sensible). In my auction, North’s two-diamond cuebid shows heart support and at least game-invitational values.

The winner will be announced in the column of Saturday, March 19.
