Take the time to celebrate the Mom

It’s Mother’s Day this weekend. In my mind, mothers everywhere deserve more than one day a year set aside for them.

After all, a mother sets aside anything she has to do for her family. Her time, her energy, her own personal interests; all are secondary to the needs of her family, and her children specifically.

The technical definition of a mother is a female who gives birth to a child. But that’s too simple a description. It’s the connotation of a mother I am thinking of when I think of Mother’s Day. My guess is when you read this, you think of your mother – but you don’t have the birth process running through your head.

You remember the times you scraped your knee and she kissed it and made it better. Or got a Kool-Aid stain off the corner of your mouth by her licking her thumb and rubbing your face because mom spit cleans everything.

Or when you had your heart broken for the first time and only a talk with mom would make you feel better. If you were

VIEWS Rob Oesterle talking to her over a batch of cookies she just baked, all the better.

How many of you have a certain food that you only like if your mom makes it? Ask just about anyone. Mom’s potato salad, mom’s fried chicken, mom’s meatloaf, mom’s chocolate chip cookies. The common theme is mom.

Was she really that good a cook? Or does your favorite dish bring back the memories of a more carefree time, free of worry and full of love and safety?

And it’s not always the person who gives birth to us who provides that. So many women have kids in their house who they didn’t carry for nine months – but that doesn’t stop them from caring about them as if they did. Stepmothers, adoptive mothers, foster mothers, grandmothers.

LOOKING UP

All the women who provide the mothering a child needs – and they do it not out of a sense of obligation because they brought the child into the world, but because they chose to make that child theirs.

A majority of the women who give birth to children do exactly that same thing, but special attention should, in my opinion, be accorded to those that do it by choice.

So, this Sunday, do me a favor. No matter what other gift or surprise you plan for your mother – a bouquet of flowers, a nice dinner or even a card sent in the mail if she lives too far away to visit – take the time to call your mother and tell her thank you. Tell her you appreciate what she has done for you.

Flowers wilt and die. A dinner gets eaten. A card gets put in a box.

But your voice giving her a heartfelt thank you is something that she will never forget. And it’s the least she deserves.

COVER STORY

Morris mom of six spends her days teaching and raising her children

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Growing up an only child, Andrea Greene of Morris always knew she wanted a bigger family.

But she didn’t know how big it would be until recently, when she and her husband, Tim Greene, adopted Mary, a 9-year-old from Uganda.

Mary, now 10, brought the number of children in the Greene family from five to six in May 2015.

“I was an only child and I had lots of friends,” Andrea said. “My closest friend had five siblings and I always knew that is what I wanted.”

She said that she’s always loved kids and enjoys watching hers as they grow to see their interactions with one another and how they will grow to be who God made them to be.

Tim Greene is a pastor at Living Word Bible Church in Morris. Andrea keeps busy at home with their children. She is their teacher, chef and taxi driver, getting them to the events they are involved in, such as baseball, piano class and, at one time, 4-H. All the children are home-schooled and the day typically begins with the kids and Andrea sitting at the large dining room table where they start their studies.

“There are a ton of wonderful teachers, but for us, we are excited to educate our children,” she said. “I can cater to their individual needs and personalities.”

That catering is exactly what 8-year-old Hannah said she needs.

“I don’t get so nervous because I know her so well,” Hannah said.

Nathanael, 13, has progressed beyond his mom’s teaching skills in math. He said he has learned far more from his mother than just what is in the textbooks.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Andrea Greene shares the couch with five of her six children Monday at the family’s home in Morris. Greene home-schools all her children.

“One thing I’ve noticed throughout my learning is that she has patience, as both a mom and a teacher,” he said.

“She has also taught me perseverance, and to not give up easily.”

For the newest member of the family, Mary, her mom is more than her teacher. She’s her dream come true.

“When I was in Uganda, I wanted a mom or a dad. I kept thinking I will

have them,” she said. “I guess I’m just happy. I’m also happy my mom leads me to God.” As the kids finished up their studies around noon, Andrea switches roles from teacher to cook, something all her children said she is really good at.

“She makes really good food,” 9-year-old Kami said. “I have so many

favorites.”

When Kami said meat sandwiches were her favorite, she quickly clarified, it’s because of the bread. Andrea serves the kid’s sandwiches on homemade bread, baked in her own kitchen.

Micah, 4, was quick to add that her sandwiches are definitely the best.

Pink Heals Mother’s Day Walk grows in year two If you go

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Last year, the first Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter Mother’s Day 5K Walk brought 1,300 people together to raise $30,000 to assist area residents with cancer.

This year, it’s expected to grow, both in participation and in dollars raised.

“We are already up 100 more people than last year’s event in registration numbers, and our business partnerships have more than doubled,” Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter director of home visits Angie Caldwell said.

Pink Heals is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women and others with illness. Its motto is “Supporting women, not causes,” although support is not limited to women. It is known for pink vehicles, which are used both to raise awareness and for visits to people with cancer.

Caldwell attributes the success of the blossoming 5K walk event to the fact that Pink Heals’ donations stay local and go directly to those who are sick, rather than national organizations.

“It’s an awesome, community-based event,” Caldwell said. “We’re able to bring more awareness here locally. And every dollar stays local, so we know where the money is going.”

Minooka District 201 board talks about needed repairs

MINOOKA – At its regular meeting last week, the Minooka School District 201 Board of Education voted to begin mandated life and safety projects at its seven school buildings.

During its March meeting, the board reviewed the repair list, and at that time the projects were split into three categories: general contractor, roofing and paving. On April 22, the district conducted a bid opening to numerous contractors that the district architect, STR Partners, has worked with in the area, with hopes to approve all work during the April 27 meeting, Superintendent Kris Monn said.

One snag in the otherwise smooth bidding plan was when the district approved the lowest roofing repair bid from JL Adler for $225,970, but the day of the board meeting, Monn received a call from JL Adler and discovered it missed a critical allowance in the bid, and the bid would need to increase by $30,000. This put JL Adler just under the second-place bid.

Monn recommended to the board the bid be considered noncompliant and the work be awarded to the next-lowest bidder, which was Crowther Roofing at $259,750. President Jim Satorius asked the board to table a vote on the work until May, so officials could speak with the district’s attorney about financial logistics related to selecting a bidder and settle the matter.

Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan speaks Friday during the Will-Grundy Central Trades and Labor Council AFL-CIO’s 38th annual dinner.

House Speaker Michael Madigan addresses Grundy, Will labor leaders

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan made a rare appearance Friday night in Joliet to address labor leaders of Will and Grundy counties.

And to give, as he called it, his “side of the story” as to why Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and a Democrat-controlled majority remain deadlocked in a 10-month budget impasse.

“The governor’s advocacy of these non-budget issues – workers’ compensation, collective bargaining, prevailing wage – in my judgment, runs contrary to the core beliefs of both Democrats and Republicans,” Madigan said before a packed International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers at the 167 West Banquet Hall. “Because advocacy of these issues would reduce wages for … middle-class families and send injured workers to the emergency room and to the welfare program.”

Madigan, who’s served as speaker of the Illinois House for 31 of the last 33 years, was the keynote speaker Friday night for the Will-Grundy Central Trades and Labor Council AFL-CIO’s 38th annual dinner. Local, state and federal elected officials from both political parties were in attendance.

Madigan said he pledged from day one to work closely and cooperatively with Rauner, noting he has a long record of working with other governors – both Democrats and Republicans – but this time, things are different, he said.

Rauner, he said, is holding the budget hostage with the goal of stripping away union powers and collective bargaining rights. The Republican governor won’t consider new revenue unless Democrats agree to his Turnaround Agenda.

Faced with ballooning pension obligations and a $6.9 billion backlog for the current fiscal year – which started July 1 of last year – Madigan said it’s impossible for Illinois to cut its way out of the deficit. Charlie Hanus, president of the Will-Grundy Counties Central Trades Council, lauded Madigan for his support of union rights.

He also called on labor supporters and union members to retain seats in the House and Senate during the upcoming November election “We gotta work our tails off this fall because if we lose the majority and let Rauner buy this election and we lose control, every one of us in this room, we’re done. We’re done,” Hanus said.

“Everybody needs to put the wheel to the grindstone.”

MINOOKA – The village of Minooka’s board room was filled with residents last week who came to hear and speak about a proposed parish hall by St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Neighbors have concerns about increased stormwater runoff they fear could result in flooding, traffic and parking problems during events, and property values.

St. Mary’s owns 25 acres of land on McEvilly Road purchased with the plan of building both a church and parish hall.

A few parishioners bought three homes and several garages across the street from the church on St. Mary’s Street and are renting out the homes. If the project goes through, the lots will be sold to the church for development. St. Mary’s pastor, the Rev. Tuan Van Nguyen, told trustees it’s his dream for parish children to be able to attend catechism class instead of at different schools around Minooka. The Village Board tabled a vote on the preliminary plat of the development because of an issue with parking.

Illinois state superintendent meets with education leaders

MORRIS – Understanding the importance of K-12 education, adequate funding for school districts, and making students a priority, state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, hosted a round-table discussion Monday alongside State Superintendent of Education Tony Smith and dozens of local education leaders.

“Whether it’s education funding reform, mandate relief or other educational issues, Superintendent Smith did a great job explaining the issues, providing a roadmap for the future, and listening to concerns and suggestions from our local education leaders,” Rezin said.

Smith attended the May 2 round-table discussion at Morris Country Club.

Among the education leaders in attendance were Mark Mitchell (Braidwood); Nicholas Henkle (Channahon); Kent Bugg (Coal City); Tony Whiston (Gardner); Mike Perrott (Gardner South Wilmington); Kristin Heredia (Marseilles); Kris Monn (Minooka); Al Gegenheimer (Morris); Patrick Halloran (Morris); Kathy Perry (Morris); Michael Rustman (Newark); Genevieve Cepela (Newark); James Carlson (Seneca); and Anthony Jay Plese (Wilmington).

had similar responses to questions about which Class 1 railroads he has commitments from.

“Fifty percent of the questions he never answered,” said Jack Schroeder of Morris. “I understand the ones that pertain to nondisclosure, but most of the other ones he deflected to the guy sitting next to him. If he is not qual-

ified to address the concerns of the county, why is he here?”

Patton said in response to several questions that he didn’t currently have the answer to, and he wouldn’t have any answers, until the final route was proposed.

The current proposed route could be adjusted by several miles in either

direction after the federal Surface Transportation Board – the governmental agency responsible for approving or denying the project on its merits while examining potential environmental impacts – completes its report, which is expected to be by late summer or early fall.

Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor said Tuesday that he was excited to see so many people come out and participate in the process.

“As an administrator, I’m happy to see so many board members and residents being involved,” Pryor said.

He said the moderator was spectacular in getting to as many questions as possible asked in the short amount of time they had.

Welter said he will continue to seek answers to the questions that were not addressed.

• Thursday, May 5, 2016

MORRIS – Grundy County residents who attended Monday night’s meeting at Morris Community High School to hear Great Lakes Basin Railroad co-founder Frank Patton about the privately funded railroad he wants to build left the meeting with several unanswered questions.

“I appreciate the community attending and we tried to allow a forum where their questions could be answered,” Grundy County Chairman David Welter said Tuesday morning.

“A lot walked away more insulted than when they first came in.”

After the hourlong question-and-answer session, several residents approached the table where Patton sat with Lee Hutchins Jr., director at AECOM, during the meeting to answer the questions read by moderator Anne Heinze Silvis from the University of Illinois Extension.

As a Gardner resident yelled from the other side of the table at Patton, it appeared there were no more answers to be had.

During the meeting, the crowd responded, quite loudly at times, to responses about the proposed private railroad project planned to run 275 miles from La Porte, Indiana, to Milton, Wisconsin. As proposed, it would cut through Grundy County.

Many in attendance were farmers, and they wanted to know who would be responsible for changes to their land.

They wanted to know where the track would pass through, if damage would be incurred to their field tiles and if their water supply would be affected, as well as how they would gain access to the land-locked parcels that would be created by the proposed rail line.

Patton said the railroad would be responsible for creating a crossing for the farmer to get from a main field to a land-locked field, and that if he interrupted their water supply or negatively affected wetlands and drainage, he would not get the permit to build the railroad.

The crowd erupted in cheers and clapped at the thought of the railroad not being approved.

The answers to several questions Patton was asked was that he couldn’t discuss them because of nondisclosure agreements. That answer was often met with disgruntled commentary from the audience.

Those questions asked often asked for specifics of where the money for the proposed $8 billion project was coming from. Patton responded that he had been discussing the project for three years and he could not disclose those who may be financing the project. He

MILWAUKEE – Officials said a Minooka teen died early Sunday after using drugs while at a club in Milwaukee.

Kara E. Starr, 18, was pronounced dead just before 5 a.m. in the emergency room at Aurora Sinai Medical Center in Milwaukee, according to documents from the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Starr had been in Milwaukee to attend a concert, the documents state, and was at a club called The Rave when she began seizing.

A Milwaukee Fire Department ambulance transported Starr to Sinai between 2 and 3 a.m.

When admitted to the hospital, she was unresponsive and received several forms of treatment – including one round of the opioid overdose antidote Narcan – before she was pronounced dead, according to the documents.

Before first responders arrived, Starr told an emergency medical technician at the club she had taken the

drug Molly, the documents state. Upon admission to the hospital, she tested positive for amphetamines and cannabinoids.

An autopsy was scheduled for Monday morning, and the death was preliminarily ruled accidental by the Medical Examiner’s Office.

According to the documents, Starr drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes and marijuana, but family were unaware of any other drug use.

Minooka Community High School District 111 spokesman Dave DiLorenzo confirmed that Starr was a senior at the school.

Family declined an interview request.

Visitation will be held from 2 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Andrew J. Mcgann & Sons Funeral Home, 10727 S. Pulaski Road in Chicago.

The funeral will be 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Friday at Most Holy Redeemer Parish, 9525 S. Lawndale Ave. in Evergreen Park. It will be followed by a service at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, 6001 W. 111th St. in Alsip.

Morris mayor gives state of the city address

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Monday night Morris council meeting marked the start of a new fiscal year for the city.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick delivered his annual State of the City address, where he highlighted accomplishments of the previous year before addressing the fiscal year the city was headed into.

In 2015, the city completed a dog park near Lion’s Park on Michael Drive, with the help of local Girl Scout Emily Lamaze, who was working toward her Gold Award.

“We have already received a lot of positive feedback from the public at large, and will continue to look to improve that area in the future,” Kopczick said.

He also highlighted growth for the city, including the 140 acres annexed for the expansion of Costco; the company has broken ground on a 300,000-square-foot manufacturing facility.

He said Archer Daniels Midland is continuing to work on its marina project along the Illinois River east of Morris, and a new Memory Care for Assisted Living at Morris Park Pointe broke ground last fall.

He also highlighted that two private hangars were being added at the airport, and Buffalo Wild Wings had a successful opening in early April.

He said other projects – such as the generator project for the potable water system, the floodplain study, the construction of the Lisbon Road overpass, and a 500-foot extension of the runway and taxiway at the Mor-

ris Municipal Airport – were started last year and are expected to be completed this year.

Kopczick said as the city moves into the new fiscal year, officials intend to continue to improve, update and expand the city parks and continue to upgrade the utilities.

“We will be starting the $3.3 million Phase II of the Long Term Control Plan very soon,” he said. “Again, I would like to emphasize, this is the second phase of a four-phase mandated and unfunded project.”

During the meeting that preceded the State of the City address, the council approved the purchase of an alarm system for the chlorine building for the new overflow facility at the central Waste Water Treatment Plant

COAL CITY – Arturo Ortiz was kneedeep in a hole of dirt Friday morning, working steadily to remove a 2-inch-diameter tree root on Coalfield Drive in Coal City.

The only thing missing was the tree that root came from.

Ortiz was one of many volunteers from ComEd planting trees to replace those lost during the June 2015 tornado, causing an estimated 50,000 trees to be lost.

“It has to be devastating to lose your home and possessions,” said Lana Watson, a fellow volunteer working with Ortiz.

ComEd, along with Spring Grove Nursery, iTrees.com, and Davey Resource Group, were on hand to plant 88 trees in Coal City in celebration of Arbor Day. Many of the trees were from Communitrees, which not only provided Coal City residents with a 20 percent discount on new trees that were delivered or planted, but also provided one free tree for every 10 purchased.

Becky Thomas, owner of Spring Grove Nursery, said the trees planted throughout Coal City were chosen carefully, making sure the same species of

had spoken to him throughout the day Friday about the work the organizations were putting in.

“We appreciate the effort of ComEd and them helping us with their investment,” Fritz said.

Spring Grove Nursery has celebrated Arbor Day locally for 13 years, planting new trees at Grundy County schools that express an interest. The business also uses the planting as an opportunity to educate children on the many benefits of trees.

In 1999 Jamie and Becky Thomas opened Spring Grove Nursery in Mazon, which allowed them to take their passion for trees and turn it into a family business.

Thirteen years ago they decided to annually start donating a tree around Arbor Day to Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Elementary School, where their children attended class. They’ve been doing it ever since.

Seven years ago, the Thomas family expanded the donation and to date have donated trees to several Grundy County school districts, including Coal City, Gardner, Braceville and Immaculate Conception School in Morris. They planted another tree at Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Elementary School last week and Wednesday, and Marseilles Grade School on Thursday.

Grundy Area PADS volunteer and coordinator Marie Steta (center) received an award of appreciation at Saturday’s PADS Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast. Her son Tim Tonkin (left), daughter Lindsay Steta and son Ed Tomkin, not pictured, also volunteer for PADS. a good job as a meat market manager for a large company, and he is in the process of buying his family’s first home.

“I want to let you know it makes a difference,” Bettisch said. “The bottom line is, what you do is very important.”

Viagra™† , Cialis™† , Levitra™† Not working for you?4,5,6

PADS President Tom Hardman said there was this year an enormous jump in the number of homeless served. Last year, there were a few nights when no one showed up, so PADS shut it down here and there.

This year, about 71 people used PADS for a total of 1,800 services given.

“This is probably the most successful PADS season ever,” he said. “We had a family of six and a family of five. The family of six was from a grandma on down to toddlers. So there’s definitely a need.”

PADS operates mid-October to midApril each year, with churches – including Peace Lutheran, First United Methodist, First Presbyterian, Immaculate Conception and Living Word Bible – opening their doors for the service.

Don and Judy Trejo, in absentia, and Marie Steta were given awards as retiring coordinators. Steta’s children – Lindsay Steta, Ed Tomkin and Tim Tomkin – also volunteer for PADS. Ed brings five of his friends who live in Aurora and Naperville to Morris to volunteer Sunday nights.

“Everyone has their story,” Steta said.

“So many of them need more than just a meal. ... We provide someplace to eat and to commune, too, and to make them feel they’re a part of the community.”

MORRIS – Having a warm, dry, safe place to sleep at night is a blessing. But for the homeless, it can be a lifesaver.

Grundy Area PADS, or Public Action to Deliver Sustenance, supplies just that to the area’s homeless. Volunteers ensure guests get a hot meal in the evening, breakfast in the morning and a sack lunch, if needed.

PADS volunteer and pastor of Peace Lutheran Church Lu Bettisch told a personal story about homelessness to fellow volunteers at Saturday’s PADS Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast at Maria’s Ristorante in Morris.

Her son went through a period of crisis starting with his senior year in high school, Bettisch said. Growing up with a normal childhood of church, Cub Scouts, orchestra and solid family values, his behavior began to change, his mother noticed. He was experimenting with drugs, including heroin.

“He was in and out of jail,” Bettisch said, “and he was in and out of court. ...

He was living out of his car.”

He was fortunate his community at the time had a local PADS chapter, she said, providing him with food and shelter during the cold winter months.

He got clean and now has a family and

Village of Diamond gets grant for pocket parks

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com DIAMOND – Residents in Diamond will be able to get from the south side of the village to the north side via a bike path, rather than biking or walking on the road.

Diamond Mayor Terry Kernc said with joint efforts from multiple organizations, the project should start this year.

“We hope to make the June bid letting with IDOT,” Kernc said. “I’m excited to have the addition of a bike path.”

The asphalt path will be about 1,600 feet long, beginning at Amber Lane, running north and east to the Claypool Drainage Ditch and continuing on to McGinty Street.

The path will include a wooden footbridge across the drainage ditch for easier crossing.

“I think the people are going to love it,” Kernc said.

The Three Rivers Association of Realtors made the most recent donation of $3,000 to the village last week.

Gideon Blustein, regional manager for Three Rivers, said the organization applied for a $3,000 Placemaking micro-grant from the National Association of Realtors, and were happy when they received it.

“The project in Diamond was in line with the grant,” Blustein said Monday.

“The grant is to take underutilized space and make a community space from it.”

The $3,000 grant will put pocket parks at both trailheads of the path where benches, created by Boy Scout Tyler Krumpoch, will sit. The benches were part of Krumpoch’s Eagle Scout project.

An ITEP grant in the amount of $10,00, a ComEd Openlands Grant in the amount of $10,000 and a deeded strip of property donated by David McMurtry will create the path, Kernc said.

Coal City school board to share auditorium duties

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Coal City High School students will get hands-on technological experience because of a new component in one of the school’s theater classes.

While the school’s auditorium has seen a recent boost in events and use – such as The Texas Tenors performing April 24 a benefit concert on behalf of student Megan Bugg – it has caused some supervision issues.

Coal City Community Unit School District 1 Superintendent Kent Bugg said that the district’s board decided last week at a study session to have students learn lighting, sound and other auditorium duties from part-time auditorium supervisor Jack Micetich. The teaching will be incorporated into a theater technology class, Bugg said, and prevents the hiring of outside assistance.

“We’re really excited about giving these opportunities to our students,” Bugg said during an April 29 interview.

The board discussed several other topics at the study session. Bugg said he expects the board to vote May 4 to approve the advertisement of a full-time

groundskeeping position.

“The person would not only take care of athletic fields, but would also handle other duties, such as fertilizing, aeration and direct lawn mowing of all grounds,” Bugg said.

In other business news, the board only received one bid for bus transportation services. The sole bidder was Illinois Central, which is the district’s current provider. Because there was only one bid, the board did not consider it a competitive bidding process.

“The board instructed us to go out for bid again,” Bugg said. “Hopefully we get a couple more bids. We will directly contact a couple companies, and hopefully at the end of May the board can award the company with the best bid.”

The board also is evaluating guidelines for admittance to the high school’s National Honor Society program. Bugg said specifics will be available at the May 4 meeting, but the goal of the board is to ensure guidelines are a little more stringent. Looking to the future, Bugg said, the district has started planning for the 100-year anniversary celebration of Coal City Intermediate School. The event will take place in February 2017.

State overpaid Grundy taxing entities in Personal Property Replacement Tax

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Local governments in Grundy County were collectively overpaid $580,740 from the Illinois Personal Property Replacement Tax because of a misallocation error, the state announced last month.

Of the about 6,500 districts statewide affected by the misallocation, the overpayment amounted to less than $10,000 for 5,291 of them. In Grundy County, 40 of the 64 districts owed less than $1,000.

The miscalculation occurred following statutory changes to certain tax forms. PPRT is money collected by the state and paid to local governments. It replaced funds lost by taxing entities when their ability to impose personal property taxes on corporations, partnerships and other business entities was abolished in the 1970 Constitution.

The largest overpayment was made to Coal City School District in the amount of $181,204. Morris Elementary School District 54 was overpaid $40,559 and Morris Community High School District 101 was overpaid $50,419.

MCHS Superintendent Pat Halloran said it hasn’t been made clear how the state will collect the overpayment, but

he thinks they will adjust future payments.

He said the most recent PPRT payment reflected a correction had been made, so the district is no longer receiving an overpayment.

“When we amend the Fiscal Year 2016 budget, we will have to adjust the income lower to reflect the adjustment,” Halloran said.

Halloran said the state aid formula takes into account the PPRT. Due to the overpayments, the state aid was adjusted lower, and he has not heard any discussion of remedying that.

Grundy County was overpaid about $58,907. County Administrator Doug Pryor said a repayment plan has not yet been devised, though the state is committed to conducting it over an extended period of time.

Pryor wrote in email that the county’s normal allocation of PPRT has ranged between $450,000 and $500,000 in recent years, but given the error he will likely revise that forecast down.

“I would expect this to have a total impact to our budget on the order of $100,000 over the next year between the repayment and lowered expected PPRT distribution based on the corrected allocation,” he wrote in the email.

YMCA Morris branch aims to get kids moving

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Four-year-old Brooklyn Damato put her stethoscope to her ears and listened for a heartbeat of a stuffed Elmo doll being used by Morris Hospital trauma coordinator Kathy Geiger as a tool to educate kids about nurses and doctors in the emergency room.

“I am here to teach the kids injury prevention, and want them to feel comfortable around a doctor or a nurse, because by the time they get to the emergency room, they have already experienced trauma,” Geiger said.

As a part of a national YMCA initiative, multiple YMCA locations under the Greater Joliet Area YMCA – C.W. Avery in Plainfield, Galowich in Joliet and Morris Community – held their annual Healthy Kids Day on Saturday.

Carolyn Hamilton, vice president of marketing for the Greater Joliet Area YMCA, said the main motive of this event was to show kids ways to stay

strated a workout not available at the YMCA. Galowich Family YMCA had family aerobic classes, and the Joliet Junior College girl’s soccer and basketball teams had kids perform drills.

Morris Community YMCA was the newest branch to partake in the initiative.

“If we can hit home that nutrition starts at home and address troubled issues of obesity and diabetes, then our event was a success,” said Sarah Porzel, family and community engagement director.

Porzel said their day was unique due to their partnership with the Morris Hospital, which ran a teddy bear clinic with stuffed animals and offered a healthy fruit pizza snack.

“These events are a great way to have a lot of people in one place to offer local resources to parents and kids about summer programs at the YMCA in their communities,” Hamilton said.

Morris Community YMCA member Carli Damato said she came to the event because she likes to learn about new things in Morris.

“This was great for the community because everybody needs to know what’s available to them. I came to get information on Girl Scouts for my daughter because I want her to be in scouts like I was as a child,” Damato said.

Hamilton said each branch event was unique due to the different community services and the staff at each YMCA tailors its classes and services to fit the needs of those who use the facility.

C.W. Avery, for instance, had instructors led a family Zumba class, the competitive dance team named THRIVE danced, and a vendor demon-

“The rates automatically increase by 6 percent if no action is taken annually,” he said. “The action taken for this year is a 0 percent increase.”

Historically, the city rotates the increase on a three-year cycle. Six percent one year, followed by 3 percent, and then 0 percent.

If the city continues that cycle residents will see a 6 percent increase on their water and sewer bills in fiscal 2017.

“To Find Your House Just Click Your Mouse”

“There are many times in a day I wonder how I can do it.

I can’t imagine my day doing anything else, even though it’s hard sometimes.”

COVER STORY | Morris Herald-News / MorrisHerald-News.com

Matthew, 6, chimed in that her chicken salad is her best dish.

When asked how she juggles her many roles in the home, she said the same way all women do.

“All moms and all women fill up their time with something,” she said.

She chooses to fill up her time with her children.

“There are many times in a day I wonder how I can do it,” she said. “I can’t imagine my day doing anything else, even though it’s hard sometimes.”

She said when Nathanael turned 13 a few weeks ago, she had the realization that they are all growing up quickly.

Andrea’s mother, Arlene Carter, who lives in Kansas, comes to visit every few months and said it’s been a blessing to be able to come and watch her daughter raise the children.

“It’s a real blessing,” she said. “She does more things with them than I did.”

Andrea said being raised by a single mom and watching her work ethic has helped her with raising her own children and juggling their busy schedule.

When asked what advice she has for other moms, she sat quietly and thought for a moment.

“I don’t know,” she said. “I don’t Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com have it all together. I’m just like everyAndrea Greene shares the couch with her children Monday at the family’s home in Morris. Greene home-schools all her children. one else.”

UP CLOSE Morris’ Prom Walk Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – Rain didn’t dampen the spirits at Morris Community High School as students took a stroll around the main gym Saturday for Prom Walk before boarding one of seven buses to head off to prom in Willowbrook.

Parents, grandparents and community members filled the bleachers to cheer on the kids as they showed off this year’s most popular prom fashions.

The theme of this year’s prom, “Welcome to New York,” fit perfectly with the elegant gowns and tuxedos worn by the Morris High School students and their dates.

Channahon could get drug dog from Will County State’s Attorney 29 perform school searches, a task that in the past has been done by K-9 units from other police departments.

Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher said she would be in favor of the donation if the new program were to be cost neutral, as Channahon is dealing with a tight financial situation.

Wold said Glasgow has offered to fund not only the dog and training, but also to retrofit a squad car. A local veterinarian has offered to provide care for the dog, and Trustee Debbie Militello said some local businesses are considering chipping in for dog food.

Schumacher said that the village receives dollars from drug seizures, and a K-9 unit that helps with drug arrests could help with revenue for the program.

Board members approved Wold to further investigate the matter and to bring it to the board for a vote at a future meeting.

“It’s important to send the message that our village is serious about this,” Trustee Chantal Host said.

Also at Monday’s meeting, the owner of The Office Bar and Grill, on South Pheasant Lane in Channahon, came before the board to ask about getting an outdoor area at the bar. Most of the board was in favor of allowing outdoor dining, but Schumacher said village liquor ordinances would likely have to be altered.

Staff was asked to look into the matter and come back before the board with more information. Trustees also approved hiring Jeff Barrett as water operator for an annual salary of $56,138.

CHANNAHON – In a community known more for its baseball teams, rivers and peaceful neighborhoods than crime, Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold said he’s seeing some troubling statistics in the village. With 57 drug arrests so far this year, Channahon could be on track to double the number of its drug cases by the end of 2016. Other communities are seeing the trend, as well, Wold told village trustees Monday night.

But the village has been offered some help to quell the upswing before it becomes a trend. Wold said the Will County State’s Attorney’s office has offered to buy a drug-sniffing K-9 unit for the Chan-

MORRIS – Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland recently released the following felony dispositions.

The State’s Attorney’s Office often reaches plea agreements in cases following a careful consideration of the nature of the charges, the facts of the case, a thorough consultation with the crime victim, a review of the offender’s criminal history, and weighing aggravating and mitigating factors that exist, according to a news release from Helland’s office. The State’s Attorney’s Office makes no representation as to the accuracy of such information. In all cases, the official records of the court clerk should be consulted for confirmation.

“He’s looking to move sooner, rather than later on this,” Wold told trustees. “It would be to keep drugs from taking further root here in our community.”

A drug problem in an area can lead to burglaries, robberies and other criminal acts, Wold said.

Chamber starts Coffee & Company program

MORRIS – Some of the best ideas come out of “coffee talk.” There is something about that morning cup of Joe with your family, friends or co-workers that kick-starts the day and the brain.

It’s with this in mind that the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry is introducing a new networking event called Coffee & Company.

The Chamber works hard to provide a variety of events at different times of day and throughout the county to accommodate our different types of members. Our membership consists of businesses with staff in the hundreds to one-man shows working out of basements.

The one thing that is consistent throughout our members is that their time is precious.

There often is not enough time in

VIEWS Christina Van Yperen the day to run your business, keep up with your children’s after-school activities, make dinner, stop at the store and schedule some “me time,” let alone make time in the day to attend a networking event after work such as Business After Hours.

The goal with Coffee & Company is to offer another opportunity in the morning, at the start of your workday, to provide a chance for you to connect with other businesses.

Whether this works out better for you because evening events are too difficult, or you attend this as well as the Chamber’s After Hours events,

join us! Bring yourself and your morning coffee buddy and start your day by experiencing a new business while meeting your next customer.

The morning event also provides a business owner or manager with the opportunity to showcase themselves to a captive audience. The eventual goal is to make this a monthly event somewhere new each month so attendees get the chance to try a new business, meet its staff and hopefully someone new to do business with.

Our first Coffee & Company will be at 8 a.m. May 11 at Country Glaze Donut Shoppe, 1518 Creek Drive, Morris. The event is free to attend, and refreshments will be provided.

All you have to bring is your business cards.

“It seemed fitting for Country Glaze Donut Shoppe to be the Chamber’s first Coffee & Company. Our

gourmet coffee and doughnuts are a perfect way to start your day and we’re excited to share with Chamber members and the community what makes the doughnut shop and Country Backyard BBQ unique places to eat and do business,” said Tiffany Hall, manager at Country Glaze.

Come on out May 11 and hear a little more about Country Glaze Donut Shoppe and its sister business Country Backyard BBQ & Burgers including, their menus and upcoming promotions.

For information or to learn about hosting a future Coffee & Company, call events director Christine Mendez at 815-942-0113 or email events@grundychamber.com.

Under His Wings resale shop has new address

Dr. Jennifer Thomas, a family medicine physician, is pictured in the new Gardner branch of the Morris Hospital & Healthcare Center.

Open house for Gardner branch of Morris Hospital planned for morning of May 14 SHAW MEDIA GARDNER – Community members are invited from 9 to 11 a.m. May 14 to visit the new Gardner Healthcare Center of Morris Hospital. The open house will feature a variety of activities, such as free blood-pressure screenings, free glucose (diabetes) screenings, games for the children, giveaways and refreshments.

Family medicine physician Dr. Jennifer Thomas and nurse practitioner Kathy Ulivi will visit with guests.

The center is located at 409 N. Route 53 in Gardner, on the same property where the former Southeastern Grundy Medical Center building once stood. The project

broke ground in early fall 2015 and the staff moved in November 2015. The new 2,200-square-foot office building was built on land donated by Southeastern Grundy Medical Center Inc. with an agreement that Morris Hospital remains in Gardner for a minimum of 10 additional years.

The building includes 1,500 square feet of office space dedicated to the Gardner Healthcare Center, where staff provide medical care, along with sameday appointments, on-site blood draws, blood-pressure screenings, immunizations, physicals, and ePrescribing. Local dentist Richard Neu occupies the remaining 700 square feet. For information, visit www.morrishospital.org/gardner.

MORRIS – For the past decade or so, one of the mainstays on Liberty Street has been the Under His Wings women’s shelter and resale shop, which was located at 802 Liberty for the past 11 to 12 years.

The shop will continue to do business from its new location, 404 Liberty St., between Ebbey George’s and TNT Dance Studio.

“We needed a bit of a change and the landlord had just updated our new building,” said Angie Biros, the daughter of Pastors Tom and Kim Jewett, who run Under His Wings Ministries on Armstrong Street in Morris. “This also puts us closer to downtown, where we might be able to help more people.”

The resale center features basic necessities such as furniture, linens and antiques, while the women’s center in the back of the store offers free diapers, wipes, formula and clothes for children newborn to size 3T. Women can visit once every 30 days and pick up whatever supplies they need, free of charge.

“We also have strollers, crib mattresses, pretty much whatever a small child would need,” Biros said.

In the past, Under His Wings had always had a bicycle rack filled with used bikes that people could have for their children.

Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com

Under His Wings has moved its resale shop location from 802 Liberty St. to its current address at 404 Liberty, between Ebbey George’s and TNT Dance Studio.

Unfortunately, this feature will not be available yet at the new location, as the store cannot have a bike rack outside its new location and the man who had been fixing the bikes has decided to not do so anymore.

“If anyone wants to volunteer to fix up old bikes so they can be ridden again, I am sure we could find some place in the store to put them,” Biros said. “That was always one of our more popular features, but we have to have someone that can get them ready to ride. We aren’t going to send a child out on a bike that’s unsafe.”

Biros noted that although there isn’t an awning on the new location yet, the store is up and running.

Theresa Mah, D-Chicago, was never given much of a chance at winning the 2nd House District Democratic primary race on March 15 against a well-known political name who had a huge demographic advantage.

Mah was vying to be the first Asian-American legislator in state history. But the 2nd District was purposely drawn to include Chinatown in order to give Asian-Americans only some “influence” in the district. In previous years, Chinatown and Asian-American neighborhoods were sliced up among several legislative districts, but the Democrats made a decision to avoid a federal lawsuit against their map by creating an “influencer” district.

The Census numbers show the 2nd has an Asian-American voting age population of 23.5 percent, vastly smaller than the 53 percent Latino VAP. And the organization of Rep. Eddie Acevedo, D-Chicago, had put another Asian-American on the ballot to further muddy things on behalf of Acevedo’s son Alex’s candidacy to replace him. But that put-up candidate was kicked off the ballot Feb. 1, and things went rapidly downhill from there.

The younger Acevedo’s campaign took its own Latino base for granted and didn’t take Mah very seriously.

Acevedo only sent two negative mailers against Mah, and they hit the boxes very late and weren’t all that effective.

Mah, a former Pat Quinn administration official, sent numerous mailers that disastrously defined Acevedo as a Rauner/Emanuel candidate. Acevedo’s Facebook page displayed a photo of himself and his father with their arms around Gov. Bruce Rauner along with a post about endorsing Emanuel’s re-election. Both men are hugely unpopular in Chicago, and they were tied around Acevedo’s neck in multiple mailers.

The Acevedo organization reportedly expected Asian-Americans to make up about 18 percent of the district’s final turnout. Instead, the final number was closer to 30 percent. Asian-Americans in the city typically turn out in far lower numbers than their population strength would suggest. Not this time.

Why? Well, a big reason was they finally had a legitimate candidate to vote for who spent a lot of time, energy and money on getting them to the polls. One Acevedo operative said he

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller knew they were in big trouble when he saw the first packed bus unload Mah supporters at an early voting location.

Same-day registration played a huge role in Mah’s win as well, and it really kicked into high gear when Acevedo sent loud obnoxious thugs to disrupt a Mah campaign event featuring U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez’s endorsement of her. Gutierrez told reporters that he feared for his life during the rowdy event.

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ big surge in Chicago also contributed. Sanders won the top three wards in the 2nd District, including Daley’s 11th. But that backing was put into focus when Sanders supporter Chuy Garcia, a former mayoral candidate, endorsed Mah’s bid. Liberal whites and younger Latinos took strong notice and their fury at Donald Trump’s appearance in Chicago and their support of Sanders was channeled into supporting Mah. The Acevedo people realized too late that the district’s “hipsters” were coming out hard and tried to address it by placing “Acevedo/Sanders” signs at polling places. It didn’t work.

Mah won Daley’s ward. Some say Daley pulled his captains from the precincts the afternoon of Election Day under pressure from Chinatown.

Others say he cleverly diverted some Democratic voters into a contested Republican ward committeeman race, where each candidate received over 700 votes while Mah won the district by a bit over 500. Others point to the fact that Daley refused to appoint the younger Acevedo to the seat if the elder Acevedo retired early as evidence that he was secretly backing Mah. Cardenas lost the committeeman’s race, but he ended up backing Mah and she won the 12th by a couple of hundred votes. Acevedo vows his son will be back for another try in 2018, so Mah, Illinois’ first Asian-American legislator-elect, will have to work hard and not ever let her guard down.

United Way finds more ways to help

Giving back to the community can take a variety of forms. This includes donating money, giving of your time, or sharing your talent or skill. There are many opportunities to help those in need in our community.

Helping to make a difference is a rewarding experience. The key to this is finding what you are passionate about and matching it with an opportunity in the community. United Way of Grundy County helps match people with available opportunities.

Sometimes giving back to the community is as simple as donating money. Giving to the United Way of Grundy County helps more than one agency, more than one program, and more than one person. The United

COMMUNITY PULSE Karen Nall

Way of Grundy County currently funds 32 local nonprofit agencies that provide more than 50 vital programs and services in Grundy County. Giving to United Way positively affects all 32 agencies in our community.

Giving back also can mean volunteering. Volunteers are a very important, effective and viable way to give back to the community. Whether it is helping one time, several times, or a lifetime, volunteering is a critical part

of a nonprofit agency’s success.

It is important to give children opportunities to give back to the community too. If your family is involved in volunteering, then it comes as second nature to your children. If they see that you put a lot of value on assisting others, then they will too. Children learn what a difference they can make in the lives of others and that what they do can change someone’s life for the better. Children who learn about giving back an early age are more likely to continue to give back into adulthood.

Thank you to everyone who gives back by dedicating their time, talent, or treasure to help make Grundy County a great place to live and work!

United Way of Grundy County, founded in 1946, will be celebrating 70 years in Grundy County. There have been many changes over the years, but one thing has remained – our mission to “help improve lives.”

White Oak preschoolers write, illustrate their own book

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Amy Jankowski believes it’s her duty as a preschool teacher at White Oak Elementary School to show her students they can be anything they want to be.

To that end, Jankowski’s morning and afternoon classes both recently authored and illustrated their own picture books. Not many children believe at age 3 they’re destined for greatness, Jankowski said. That’s where a preschool teacher can play an integral role in building a student’s confidence and skills for the future.

“I feel my purpose is to help them believe they can be anything,” Jankowski said. “I believe if you have a love of books, reading and writing, you can become anything you want.”

The preschoolers were inspired to write and illustrate after an author study on Mo Willems, the award-winning author and illustrator of children’s literature. Both classes chose Willems’ “Pigeon” as their main character, but each book took on its own funny storyline.

The entire process took more than two months. It started with each 20-student class gathering around a large piece of paper for brainstorming sessions. As wild as a young child’s mind can be, it was important to not get in the way of the creative process, Jankowski said.

“You never know when the 50th idea will work out,” she said.

Rather than guide the classes toward a predetermined storyline, she established that just like the stories they read

“I believe if you have a love of books, reading and writing, you can become anything you want.”

Amy Jankowski

White Oak Elementary preschool teacher in class, each one has a main character.

And just like any author, the students had to work through all five writing steps – brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing and publishing.

“The main character is our focus,” Jankowski said. “We then talk about what’s going to happen with the character, in what setting, and what problems they encounter before reaching the climax of the story.”

Last week, one of the two published books came in the mail, with the second book soon on its way. Jankowski said huge smiles and laughter came with the first reading of the book. It earned the approval of the school librarian.

“I was so impressed by the book, ‘Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Truck to School,’ ” District 54 librarian Marnie Garcia said in a news release. “It was entertaining, funny and you couldn’t wait for Mrs. Jankowski to turn the next page.”

Once the second book arrives, each student will receive a published copy of their book. The students’ books were Photo provided purchased through a donation from Jankowski’s parents, Bob and Judy Paglis, “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Truck to School” is one of the two books to be published of Ottawa.

Bee-related facts

Mike Mallory – mmallory@shawmedia.com

University of Illinois Extension educator James Theuri describes the behavior of bees during a beekeeping presentation Thursday at the Grundy County Extension Office.

But rather than dwell on the demise of colonies, Theuri focused last week on bee behavior and how to maintain your own hive, in hopes of restoring the population.

About 20 people attended the interactive three-hour presentation, a few of which had extensive experience in beekeeping.

But most of the group was curious about how to start a successful hive.

“Beekeeping is an industry that is really catching on,” Theuri said.

Human efforts to farm bees and other

types of pollinators can boost crop growth and reap sweet rewards – in the form of your very own pure honey.

Theuri referenced a study that compared caged strawberries with uncaged strawberries. In it, the uncaged strawberries returned a greater crop yield than that of caged strawberries. It’s because honey bees roamed freely through the uncaged strawberries and provided natural pollination.

“You can see up to a 20 percent yield in-

n Given that a bee colony includes between 20,000 and 80,000 bees, Theuri said an entire colony would have to fly about 55,000 miles to make one pound of honey. n A worker bee makes one-tenth of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime. n There can only be one queen bee – if there are two, they will fight to the death. n Honey was the first processed food. n Honey, milk and olive oil are the three most adulterated foods in America. n One-third of the crops we eat are pollinated. About 90 crops in America are pollinated. n The number of bee visits to a plant is more important than the time the bee spends on the plant. crease by using one hive per acre during a bloom,” Theuri said. “You should see larger and more perfectly shaped berries.”

He also presented several fun but important facts to help calculate how many bees belong on a piece of land.

MORRIS – As recently as 50 years ago, there were between 6 million and 7 million colonies of honey bees in the United States. But that number is now somewhere around 3 million, University of Illinois Extension educator James Theuri said during a beekeeping presentation held April 28 at the Grundy County Extension Office. Many factors have played a role in the decline, Theuri said. Because of it, beekeeping seems to be growing in part from necessity.

There’s no doubt human alterations have hurt pollination and honey production. Theuri said aside from food companies discovering they could market and sell “honey” that was, in fact, one part honey and four parts corn syrup, the introduction of chemical pesticides and changes in climate are also harming bee populations.

“Bees are looking for the right conditions to pollinate, but these factors are messing them up,” Theuri said.

Another issue is the invasive Varroa mite, which is an external parasite that reproduces on developing bee larvae or pupae. Theuri, who specializes in local food systems and small farms, said the mites live in hives and are in the spider family.

Pineapple Jerk Chicken is an easy recipe to make, using canned fruits and vegetables.

EAT YOUR(AND VEGGIES FRUITS) Have you been following your parents’ age-old advice to “eat your fruits and vegetables”?

If adding more produce to your daily diet seems like a daunting task, rest assured that one solution is right in your pantry: canned foods.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate nutrition guidelines, half of your plate should consist of fruits and vegetables.

Because cans seal in foods’ nutrition, freshness and flavor, they are one of the best ways to get more produce picked at its peak to your table.

Plus, canned produce is on par nutritionally with fresh and frozen counterparts, and in some cases even better.

Additionally, the canned foods in your pantry can be an excellent source of recipe inspiration.

In a recent study, 73 percent of moms agreed that canned foods help them get healthful homemade meals on the table more often.

For more information about the benefits of canned foods, as well as recipe ideas, visit CansGetYouCooking.com.

SOFTBALL

MORRIS – When the softball season started earlier this spring, Morris senior catcher Emily Moore had a lot on her mind.

As a catcher, she’s the field general, leading her team into battle and being basically another coach on the field. Added to that, though, was the fact that she hadn’t made up her mind about which of the colleges recruiting her she was going to say yes to.

That may seem like a nice problem to have, but the longer it went on, the more weight it seemed to put on her shoulders.

She took that weight off recently, as she chose Benedictine University in Lisle over other potential suitors North Central College, University of Wisconsin-Parkside and Eckerd College in Florida.

It was a decision she’s happy with, both with the choice of college itself and with the fact that it is made.

“It’s a really big weight off my shoulders,” she said. “I really like the school at Benedictine. It’s what I was looking for. It has a small atmosphere and smaller class sizes like I am used to here at home, and it’s a chance to play for a good, competitive softball team.

“I also like that it’s close to home. I really liked Eckerd in Florida, because who wouldn’t want to go to school in Florida? But in the end, I wanted to be closer to home. It’s only 45 minutes or so away, and my dad works only about 15 minutes away from the campus, so if I need anything, I know that someone is close.”

Having made the decision, Moore, who was the Morris Herald–News’ Player of the Year last season, is free to concentrate solely on her and her team’s performance on the field during a season she has been looking forward to for a while.

“It’s my senior year, and it’s been real exciting,” she said. “I honestly hope the high school season slows down a little bit because I love playing with these girls and I don’t want it to be over. I’m excited about the future, but I have been with this group of girls for so long that I just don’t want it to end.”

The Redskins are off to a fine start so far this season, going 15-5 through their first 20 games.

“It’s been real exciting,” she said.

“We have been working so hard and we’re happy that we are doing so well.

We’ve won the last two regionals and one of our goals is to win a third, but

making films to send out and trying to stay in contact. Now that my decision is made, that part’s over and I can get back to just playing and being more relaxed.”

Moore said she wants to enter a career in human resources, and that Benedictine’s high-caliber business school helped her make her ultimate decision. Morris coach Jen Lowery feels it’s a good fit for both sides.

“I feel like that school is a good fit for Emily,” she said. “Benedictine has a senior catcher that’s an All-American, but she’ll be leaving after this year. Emily will have some big shoes to fill, but she’s always been the type to rise to a challenge. She has a tremendous work ethic and she gets the job done.

“She is a very smart all-around player. She just has a natural instinct for the game and that’s something you can’t teach. She knows what to do and Photo provided when to do it. She’s going to be sucBack row: Brian Moore (from left) and Carrie Moore.

We are definitely going to miss her next year after she graduates. She we are taking it step by step. It’s nice is here.

“That part of the recruiting was like has big shoes to fill when she gets to now to be able to just go out and play and enjoy the game instead of looking a full-time job. I was trying to make college, but she is going to be leaving up in the stands and figuring out who sure people got to see my games, I was some big shoes to fill here, too.”

YORKVILLE – In a tight pitcher’s duel, Morris was able to push one more run across the plate than Yorkville and defeat the Foxes, 2-1, to kick off a three-game Northern Illinois Big 12 series.

In the top of the fourth, Matt Walker led off by reaching base on an error for the Redskins (10-13, 4-5).

Kameron Dransfeldt followed with a double to put runners on second and third. Mike Metesh then hit a sacrifice fly to right-center that scored Walker and moved Dransfeldt to third.

Kenny Graman followed that with a sacrifice fly to left that plated Dransfeldt with the deciding run.

Winning pitcher Colton Akre allowed five hits and one run in six innings, striking out four. Walker pitched a 1-2-3 seventh to earn the save, striking out two of the three hitters he faced.

Danny Borgstrom, Ben Larson, and Dylan Callahan each had a hit for the Redskins as well.

“It’s a great way to start the series,” Morris coach Todd Kein said.

“But we have a long way to go and need to maintain our focus. Colton tossed another fine game on the road for us, and in the fourth, it was nice to see us move the baseball and put a little pressure on them when we needed it.”

Wilmington 4, Coal City 3: For the eighth game in a row, Coal City was involved in a one-run game. This time, however, the Coalers (15-7, 6-3) dropped the Interstate Eight decision. Brad Littleton struck out eight in five innings of work, while Jared Skubic fanned five in his four innings.

The Coalers managed just three hits off Wilmington pitching, including a double by Jake Brnca.

Seneca 6, Plano 5: Michael Rhodes had three hits, two runs, an RBI and two stolen bases to lead the Irish (717, 4-6) to the Interstate Eight Conference win Monday.

Winning pitcher Pete Hogue allowed three runs, two of which were earned, in four innings on four hits while striking out three. Mason Mitchell got the save, allowing two unearned runs in three innings while fanning five. Hunter Simon, Arik Applebee and Brody Harty all had a hit and an RBI for Seneca as well.

Herscher 4, Seneca 3: Michael Rhodes suffered the Interstate Eight loss in relief of Arik Applebee for the Irish. Rhodes allowed a run on two hits with two strikeouts in 2 1⁄3 innings, while Applebee fanned two and walked four while allowing six hits in 41⁄3 innings. Hunter Simon had a triple, an RBI and a run for Seneca while Kole Gallick was 2 for 3 with an RBI and Applebee was 1 for 2 with an RBI.

Morris bats go silent in loss to DeKalb

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – It’s hard for a softball team to generate much offense when they are striking out twice an inning.

The Morris softball team found that out last Tuesday night when DeKalb’s Morgan Newport struck out 16 Redskins and the Barbs handed Morris (14-5, 5-1) its first Northern Illinois Big 12 loss of the season, 2-1, in eight innings.

“We knew it would be a tight game,” Morris coach Jen Lowery said. “It always is when we play DeKalb. When you are playing a good team in a tight game, you can’t afford to have mental lapses. We had some [in a 6-5 win over Ottawa], but we got away with a win. In this game, we weren’t able to get away with them.

“Their pitcher [Newport] is very good, but we have to put the ball in play more often. Sixteen strikeouts is just way too many. We have to make the other team make plays, and they didn’t have to make too many.”

Morris pitcher Abby Burns matched Newport nearly pitch for pitch, though. Burns allowed just six hits and Newport gave up five. Burns

“Abby did her job,” Lowery said.

“They got a couple of timely hits that

we didn’t get. We had runners in scoring position a couple times but didn’t get that big hit. But, you have games like that. Hopefully this is a game we can learn from.”

Morris drew first blood in the bottom of the third. With two outs, Janelle Brehm tripled to left, then scored when Ashley Phelps sent a hard single past the third baseman. Burns followed with a single off the shortstop’s glove, but Newport induced a pop-up to the next hitter to get out of the inning and leave two runners stranded.

DeKalb tied the game in the top of the fifth. Jenna Levine led off with a double to left and went to third on a bloop infield single by Torrie Newport.

An out later, Gabby Farrell singled to right to score Levine before Burns retired the next two hitters to keep the game tied.

It remained tied after the regulation seven innings, and DeKalb’s Abby Taylor led off the top of the eighth with an infield single. She was sacrificed to second by Erin Karasewski and went to third on a wild pitch before scoring on a grounder to second by Morgan Newport. Newport then retired the Redskins in order in the bottom of the eighth, striking out the final two.

Brehm was on base every time up for Morris, finishing with a triple and reaching three times on an error. Jasmine Cook had a double, while Phelps, Ryan Friend and Burns all singled.

Redskins pound out 16 hits in NIB 12 rout of Yorkville

By CHRISTINE BOLIN–DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com

YORVILLE – While the Yorkville softball team continued to struggle at the plate on Thursday against Morris, the Redskins finished with 16 hits against the Foxes in their 9-0 victory in a Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference contest at Yorkville.

The win moved Morris, which had struck out 16 times in a loss to DeKalb earlier in the week, to 15-5 overall and 6-1 in the conference while the Foxes dropped to 8-12, 2-4.

“We spent a long time at practice [on Wednesday] breaking down fundamentals for hitting, and it showed [against Yorkville],” Morris coach Jennifer Lowery added. “The girls were confident going into the box and hit well.”

Morris junior pitcher Abby Burns finished with nine strikeouts and gave up three walks, as the Foxes left eight stranded.

“She’s been dominant all season,” Lowery said of Burns. “She did a good job and did what she needed to do.

“We spent a long time at practice [on Wednesday] breaking down fundamentals for hitting, and it showed.”

She’s been pitching for us for three years now, and she goes out there every day and does her job.”

Ryan Friend produced Morris’ first RBI of the game in the top of the first. After three scoreless innings, the Redskins had a huge fifth with five runs on seven hits, led by back-to-back two RBI doubles from senior catcher Emily Moore and sophomore infielder Ashley Phelps. Another RBI double from senior Amanda Jenkins gave her team the 6-0 advantage.

The Redskins added three more Eric Miller – emiller@shawmedia.com runs on five hits in the seventh, thanks to a three-run home run to left field Morris shortstop Melissa Benson takes the throw at second on this steal attempt April 28 at Yorkville. from junior Jasmine Cook.

Leave turkeys alone and they will be still The Illinois turkey season is winding down.

As I make my way through the back roads, I often see a field with birds strutting and going about their business.

Certain locations seem to always have birds, while others do not.

There is one particular field on Route 102 going toward Kankakee that has wild turkeys in it almost every time I drive that direction. It could be any of the four seasons and those birds are there.

You can almost bet on it.

Throughout my travels, I have witnessed the same phenomenon from one state to another.

Certain areas have what it takes to hold a population of wild turkeys.

But, you might ask, why are other areas that appear just as good without a population of this magnificent game bird?

The answer is almost too simple.

Those fields and forests that seem to always have a population of turkeys have one thing in common.

They are not disturbed. Ever.

For a flock to relocate, they need to be bothered or disrupted on a regular basis.

Wild turkeys are quite wary and experts at keeping an eye out for trouble.

They, like us, will fall into a predictable routine when left alone.

How predictable?

Let me give you an example.

Several years ago, my hunting partner and I received the phone call that every outdoorsman dreads.

That moment when the phone rings and the landowner explains that they sold their property, so this season will be the last.

At the end of 2007, my friend and I took some time to walk that entire property.

We scoured the 1,500 acres and explored places we had only dreamt about entering.

The safe-haven areas we avoided for years were now eager to be documented.

We didn’t hunt them, just wandered through them.

There was one particular portion of this property that we called “the

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers swamp.” Within that gnarly and overgrown section, giant deer and scores of turkeys thrived.

We were thrilled to get the opportunity to see what was so amazing about this area.

Yes, it was sad that we would never walk that soil again, but our curiosity held the emotions at bay.

A few hundred yards into the swamp, we noticed a dead tree.

This old oak was huge and stood solemn among all the life around it.

As we stepped closer, we saw the tree had a white sheen to it. Guano.

Lots of it.

When we reached the tree, my boots sank. My eyes drifted downward and opened in awe at what they saw.

The ground around this tree was piled high with bird droppings My boots seeped down past my ankle, and no, the ground was not soft from a recent rain.

I had chased turkeys all over the country by this point in my life and never had I witnessed anything like this.

This majestic oak was serving as a roost, and by the looks of it, this tree had held countless birds for generations.

The two of us stood in total bewilderment at what we had found.

The turkeys in that old timber had been undisturbed for many years.

They had no reason to leave.

I learned a lot about wild turkey behavior that fateful day.

I will never forget it.

If you are fortunate enough to have wild turkeys that call your land home, try not to disturb their roosting area.

Keep them happy and they will hang around for a long time.

Good luck the rest of the season.

Best Bets 7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Scorpion Though it’s not Halloween, it was when the members of Team Scorpion originally did some masquerading in “Super Fun Guys.” They go to Kazakhstan and the location of a movie that’s filming there, but as might be expected, serving as costumed extras for the picture isn’t their main mission. They’ve been dispatched to deactivate a nuclear missile that terrorists are trying to market. Peri Gilpin (“Frasier”) and Kevin Weisman (“Alias”) continue their guest roles.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Criminal Minds A felon with a medical background may be especially lethal, which is the worry for the team in “Future Perfect.” They fear their quarry may be interested in performing experiments, which means very bad things for his victims. Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness star. Aisha Tyler continues her recurring role.

10:29 p.m. on % WMAQ Saturday Night Live Some may be familiar with Brie Larson mainly for her dramatic work, thanks principally to her Oscar-winning performance in “Room,” but she also played Amy Schumer’s sister in “Trainwreck” last year — and she flexes her comedic muscles again as guest host of this new episode.

If there’s any question of how excited she is about it, she merrily tweeted the news almost as soon as the booking was confirmed. Alicia Keys is the musical guest.

10:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life Participating in a drug test for pay seems like a good idea to Cooper (Jack Cutmore-Scott) and his cash-strapped comrades, but someone quite unexpected — Paula Abdul, guest-starring as herself — interferes with their plans in “How to Survive Insufficient Funds.” The time Kelly (Meaghan Rath) spends with Leslie and Josh (Liza Lapira, Justin Bartha) has an unexpected, and uncomfortable, outcome.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Little Big Shots It was a given that there would be a “Best of Little Big Shots” episode sooner or later, and since this show is only two months old, that new compilation comes sooner. Surely, there’s a lot to choose from, since host Steve Harvey (also an executive producer of the show, along with Ellen DeGeneres) already has showcased youngsters who can do everything from karate to classical music.

Expect not only her immediate future to be determined here, but also those of Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski), Cary Agos (Matt Czuchry) and Eli Gold (Alan Cumming).

8 p.m. on _ WLS The Family Voting day arguably is the worst possible time for Claire (Joan Allen) to get more disturbing news, but so it is in the new episode “Election Day.” Willa (Alison Pill) comes forth with another revelation that supersedes any attention being paid to the numbers as they come in.
