Could this be what Cubs fans have been waiting for?

I have never been a bandwagon jumper. The trouble with that in this young baseball season is that I am now, and always have been, a Cubs fan. I was born in 1969, smack in the middle of that infamous season. The day I was born, the Cubs were in first place, 41⁄2 games ahead of the Mets. Ironically, they played the Mets that day and lost, 4-3. Did my arrival start the Cubs on their downward slide? I think it had more to do with the fact that the Mets had a pitching staff that featured Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman and Nolan Ryan, among others, than the arrival of some baby in Morris, Illinois.

But growing up as a Cubs fan has made me anxious for the other shoe to fall. I remember when the Cubs’ lone AllStar representative was Steve Swisher.

Think about that. Swisher finished 1976 with a .236 batting average, and he was the best player the Cubs had to offer.

Things got a little better each year until 1984. Ryne Sandberg was the darling of the nation and Rick Sutcliffe couldn’t lose. It almost made me forgive him for

VIEWS Rob Oesterle beating out Scot Thompson for Rookie of the Year back in 1979.

But, of course, that dream wasn’t to be, and there was another five-year wait until Don Zimmer and Greg Maddux and the one-two rookie punch of Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith hit town, only to run into Will Clark and the Giants in the playoffs.

In 1998, Sammy Sosa was doing things no human other than Mark McGwire was doing and Kerry Wood was a fresh-faced rookie who just might drop 20 strikeouts on you. But that was when you had to play the Braves in the postseason and Maddux-Glavine-Smoltz reminded folks that good pitching beats good hitting.

Five years later, Mark Prior and Carlos Zambrano had joined Wood in the

LOOKING UP

Cubs rotation, and a talented lineup of veterans surrounded Sosa and all looked right with the world. The Cubs were five outs from the World Series. Then a foul ball got hit, a fan touched it, Alex Gonzalez forgot how to field a grounder and Prior gave up a bunch of runs. The Cubs lost the next game, too.

So, it’s with some trepidation that I finally go all-in on 2016. I have been looking for something not to like about this team, but I can’t. Kyle Schwarber is out for the year, but the offense hasn’t missed a beat.

The starting pitching is good enough to hide the fact that the bullpen isn’t the greatest in the league. Joe Maddon is as good as, if not better than, anyone when it comes to personnel decisions. There’s no weak link, nor is there a mid-1990s Braves team in National League.

This might actually be the next year that Cubs fans have been waiting for.

Rath, a student council leader, retires after 38 years at Morris High

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A standing joke among Morris Community High School leadership is there’s a beaten path from Classroom 133 to the front office.

Soon, that path will sprout new roots.

Barb Rath is retiring after 41 full-time years teaching high school education – 38 of them at Morris High. The joke is in reference to Rath’s effort to stay plugged in with school administration about any concern she, her co-workers or her students had.

As MCHS Principal Kelly Hussey explained, it’s common for Rath to leave her class – albeit a 30-second walk from the front office – to check in on a topic and not come back for 10 to 15 minutes.

She always gives her class an assignment in the meantime.

It’s only possible because of the respect her classes had for her. As an administrator, Hussey said he has valued the close relationship with the longtime MCHS National Honor Society leader, student council adviser and vocational division chairman.

“Very few teachers can get away with leaving a class for that long,” Hussey said. “But her students have always had a respectful fear of her rules. They know how things are supposed to be, and how she will manage them if they don’t follow her structure.”

One young man learned that lesson the hard way.

“About five years ago, I had a kid out in the hallway who had acted up,” Rath said. “In not one of my finer moments, I said something along the lines of, ‘If you want the Rath, I will give you the Rath.’ It kind of spread and unnerved some kids in the hallway.”

Austin Feeney, a 2012 graduate, was one of those kids standing nearby. When he became a senior on Student Council, he suggested putting the phrase on the

Last week, it all came full circle when the 2016 Student Council presented Rath with a quilt made out of its past T-shirts.

“I’m sure people saw that shirt and thought, ‘She sure likes herself. … She put her picture on a shirt’,” Rath said.

“But it wasn’t my choice.”

For all the tough love Rath gave her students, she backed it up with the ability to keep a class interested and motivated.

“She’s well-respected locally in busi-

ness and accounting,” Hussey said.

“She’s sparked interest in those areas. A lot our kids head into the business realm because they’ve had her.”

One of Hussey’s daughters is nearing a certified public accounting license partly because of Rath, he said. As of the most recent count, Rath said 27 of her students had become CPAs – not because of her, but because of an interest developed in her class and pursued through college.

“It’s rewarding when you know some-

one liked it and they went on to pursue it,” Rath said.

She reflected last week on her career in a neighboring classroom during an open period with a handful of students working nearby.

“I do better with teachers who are passionate, and you’re passionate about it,” student Amanda Villarreal said to Rath. “I changed my major to accounting a month into your class.”

3 French Hens to see record number of vendors If you go

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A record number of vendors is expected to help kick off Saturday the eighth year of The 3 French Hens French Country Market series.

The total was at 140 vendors from throughout the Midwest, but organizer Monica Vogel said she and fellow organizer Traci Tessone added five or six more earlier this week. Vogel and Tessone have carved out space at 123 Illinois Ave. in Morris – better known as Canal Port Park along the banks of the I&M Canal – for each vendor.

“The configuration changes all the time, but we always make it work,” Vogel said.

At this point, interest in the market comes through word-of-mouth. It was just selected as “One of the Best Flea Markets in Illinois” by Fun Things To Do In Illinois.

While vendors and shoppers alike love the location and environment, Vogel said, the success is due to the quality of vendors.

“We have great vendors,” Vogel said. “We have old favorites coming back along with new ones that keep shoppers coming from all over.”

She said Saturday’s market will feature more produce and farming vendors than ever before, along with

Shoppers from Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri and Wisconsin lined the banks of the I&M Canal in Morris for the first 3 French Hens market of 2015. This year’s market season starts Saturday. more antiques and custom jewelry.

The growth of the market was on display earlier this year, when 3 French Hens French Country Market requested the city of Morris close Illinois Avenue from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. on each of the market days – set for the second Saturday of each month from May through October.

However, Morris City Council denied the request in March after citing safety as a concern. Illinois Avenue had been reconstructed by the state as a designated truck route to facilitate access to the grain elevators west of Stratton Park. Mayor Richard Kopczick said closing Illinois Avenue for six days in a year would harm grain

Vogel declined to comment on the matter. Not to worry, though, as the markets will continue at Canal Port Park in coming years, she said.

“It’s perfect,” she said. “It’s downtown, so people from out of town can walk one block and hit boutiques, pubs and restaurants of Morris. We think it’s conducive to that. Then in June, when Morris Cruise Nights begin, people often shop at the market then stay downtown for the car shows.”

A curbside pickup service should come in handy for larger items and heavy bags. It will be operated by Life Church of Morris, Vogel said. Shoppers can grab a ticket and swing their vehicles by for pickup.

Grundy County clerk lays out Election Day registration costs MORRIS – In Grundy County, 401 people took advantage of same-day registration in the March primary. Just under 11,700 already registered voters cast ballots that day.

“I was surprised by the number,” Grundy County Clerk Kay Olson said. “I didn’t think we were going to have that many register.”

Proponents of the new Illinois law that requires same-day voter registration have said the unfunded mandate is worth the costs because it allowed more people to register.

Under the state law, each polling place needed an electronic pollbook – or computer tablets with voting and registration capabilities.

Pollbooks were bought in 2013 for $34,975, Olson said, but the county spent an additional $42,000 this year for software upgrades and new wireless routers. In Grundy, each voting location had one pollbook, meaning registered votes and same-day registrants were forced to share a line.

Olson is turning her attention to the November election, as higher turnout is expected in a presidential election year.

“We’re just trying to focus on judge recruitment and educating voters about ways to vote early,” Olson said.

New Lenox man dies after crash in rural Grundy County

SENECA – A New Lenox man died last week after a car crash in rural Grundy County.

According to a preliminary investigation by the Grundy County Coroner’s Office and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department, Matthew Duque, 40, was traveling May 5 on Marseilles Road just east of Nettle Creek Road when he lost control of his vehicle. It then rolled several times and he was ejected.

Duque was the only occupant in the vehicle and was taken to Morris Hospital, where he was pronounced dead in the emergency room shortly before 3 p.m., a news release from the Grundy County Coroner’s Office stated.

An examination was scheduled for Friday and the crash remains under investigation by the Coroner’s Office and the Sheriff’s Department.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held May 4 to officially open the new Interstate 55 NW Frontage Road north of U.S. Route 6 in Channahon.

Ribbon-cutting ceremony for Channahon’s new frontage road SUBMITTED REPORT CHANNAHON – A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held last week to officially open the new Interstate 55 NW Frontage Road north of U.S. Route 6.

Mayor Missey Moorman Schumacher cut the ceremonial ribbon during the May 4 event, along with members of Novak Construction, Illinois Department of Transportation, Thorntons, Manhard Consulting, Martin Cement, Thomas Engineering, village staff and village trustees, according to a news release from the village.

The new roadway was constructed by Thorntons Inc., which is constructing a fuel center as part of a 15acre development.

Plans for the remainder of the property include two outlots for restaurant uses and a third lot that can be used for a hotel.

“This has been a long time coming and truly represents an evolution in the Village of Channahon,” Moorman Schumacher said in the news release. “I’d like to recognize current and previous elected officials, staff, IDOT, members of the construction trades and those of the business and development community for their diligence and perseverance in making this project a reality.

“We believe this development

along with the interchange reconstruction will be the catalyst in transforming the Route 6/I-55 interchange into a destination point for retail and commercial development that will serve not only the village, but the region as a whole.”

The relocation and reconstruction of the NW Frontage Road is in conjunction with the $22 million IDOT project, which is reconstructing and expanding the bridge deck over I-55 along with reconstructing and relocating the on and off ramps, according to the news release.

Phase 2 and 3 of the project will include the relocation and reconstruction of the northeast and southeast frontage roads, resulting a more efficient design that will better handle traffic demands. The project is expected to be finalized in summer 2017.

Among those attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony were Stephen Bykowski, Greg Terwilliger, Mimi Novak, Karen Rugh, Patrick Moriarity, Lynn Horton and Trevor Stoltz from Novak Construction; Tony Rubino from Thorntons; Tony Quigley, Sami Daniel and Paul Gregoire from IDOT; Dennis Martin from Martin Cement; Troy Paionk from Mandhard Consulting; Stephen Vandeveer from Thomas Engineering Group; and village Trustees Scott Slocum, Debbie Militello and Mark Scaggs.

MORRIS – A fire broke out Saturday afternoon in a garage at 2055 Locust Road in Morris and was quickly extinguished by Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District personnel.

Deputy Fire Chief Bob Wills noted that the location is just minutes from the fire station on Ashton Road, so the engine was on the scene quickly.

Preliminary estimates put the damage at $20,000.

A woman on the scene who said her parents own the duplex said John Cox was transported to the hospital with burns to his legs and smoke inhalation.

Wills confirmed that an unidentified male was on the scene trying to extinguish the fire when the firefighters arrived and was transported to the hospital with burns to his legs.

Damage was contained to the garage and its contents.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

County opposes railroad project Grundy County Board opposes Great Lakes Basin Transportation proposed railroad

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Board adopted a resolution Tuesday night, 15-0, that opposes the Great Lakes Basin Transportation Inc. proposed privately funded railway that would cut through Grundy County if it comes to fruition.

As proposed, the Great Lakes Basin Railroad project would run 275 miles from La Porte, Indiana, to Milton, Wisconsin, and cut through Grundy County. Those spearheading the estimated $8 billion effort filed paperwork in March with the federal Surface Transportation Board, the governmental agency responsible for approving or denying the project on its merits while examining potential environmental impacts.

“The people of the county really need your help here,” Brad Male, of Gardner, said during the public portion of Tuesday’s meeting. He asked the board to oppose the railroad.

He said many people in the community still aren’t aware the railroad is proposed to go through the county.

The resolution adopted by the County Board states the project as it’s been presented would cause significant negative impact to private, agricultural and business interests, as well as create substantial and expensive burdens on various governmental bodies.

“It’s important that Grundy County and every other county stand together to pass a resolution of opposition,” County Board Chairman David Welter said before the meeting. “Together we are a larger voice, especially when the decision is not up to us.”

Board member Frank Halpin said he feels the county needs to go further than just adopting the resolution.

“My concern, is I think we need to go one step further and investigate and have a plan in place when they come here,” Halpin said. “What roads are they going to cross, what will it do to drainage, and what bridges. That’s the

things I’m concerned about.”

Welter said the Highway and Land Use departments have looked at how it may affect their areas, and the county is not sitting back waiting.

Welter said that because the path is not set in stone and could vary by several miles, any plan to investigate further would not be effective until the STB has issued its results.

Board members Vicki Geiger and

Mike Onorato were absent from Tuesday’s meeting.

Great Lakes Basin Railroad co-founder Frank Patton said before the meeting in an email that he is sad the Grundy County Board is taking a stance in opposing the proposed railroad. LaSalle County also adopted a resolution to oppose the railroad on Tuesday, according to published media reports.

MORRIS – Greenhouse Group LLC is getting ready to open a medical marijuana dispensary in the former Rockwell Inn in Morris.

Mitch Kahn, CEO of Greenhouse Group, said the company had some minor delays that prevented the company from hitting an original February deadline, but the finishing touches should be completed this week.

A manager and assistant manager have been named for the Morris location, the third and final dispensary being opened by Greenhouse Group LLC. Mary Neubeck, of Kankakee, has been named the manager and came to Greenhouse Group from PharmaCannis, a dispensary in Ottawa.

“I’ve learned a lot working in a dispensary,” she said. “I’ve learned that there are definitely sick people in need of help and treatment. They are at the end of the road, and it’s incredibly exciting to see people’s lives change when medical marijuana helps them.”

Kyra Rowe, assistant manager of Greenhouse Group’s Morris location, said she has had a positive response

to Kahn said, as well as providing the medicine through vaporizers, in edibles, oils and with topical balms.

Kahn said the important thing is the dispensary provides patients with a different experience, and provides them with a safe product.

“They are already sick. They need to be careful what they put in their body,” Kahn said.

Products for sale at the dispensary go through testing for THC levels and to make sure there are no harmful pesticides present.

In addition to providing medical marijuana, Greenhouse Group has built an additional wellness center within the building that has a separate address and entrance so patients can get other services at the location where they pick up their medical marijuana.

Kahn said he could see operating a separate wellness business in the future.

The wellness center buildout is separate from the dispensary and will be used for several wellness events, such as Pilates classes, support groups for cancer patients, and cooking classes.

Both the dispensary and wellness clinic are slated to be open for business by the end of the month.

MORRIS – Four men will be honored May 19 at the Morris Municipal Services Facility.

But they were not ordinary men.

The Annual Grundy County Law Enforcement Managers Association Memorial Service will honor specifically police and firefighters who died in the line of duty for citizens protected

by Grundy County agencies. The four men are Morris Police Patrolman Clarence R. Roseland and Marshal Enoch T. Hopkins, Morris Firefighter James K. Allen and Channahon Firefighter Kenneth J. Frayne.

Roseland died in 1935, Hopkins in 1878, Allen in 1985 and Frayne in 2011.

Though it’s been decades in some cases since they last served, Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said their memory lives on through this event.

“It was the duty of four heroes to serve,” Dite said. “It’s our duty to never forget. These are real heroes in Grundy County who made the ultimate sacrifice.”

Programs such as these across the nation ensure local law enforcement heroes in various communities won’t be forgotten, he said. Hosting duties are rotated each year among municipalities in the county. Last year was Channahon’s turn, this year is Morris’.

“It’s important we continue to tell these stories,” Dite said. “It brings us even closer to them, even though we may not have known them.”

The event will be held outside of the facility at 320 Wauponsee St. If inclement weather is present, it will be held inside the Morris Council Chambers.

Dite invited the public to stop by for the event, which starts at 10 a.m.

The Grundy County Law Enforcement Managers Association is comprised of the Morris Police Department, Grundy County Sheriff’s

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – During a public hearing that preceded the regular Morris Community High School meeting Monday night, the board discussed increasing driver’s education fees from $50 to $150.

No members of the community were present, and the increase passed, 6-1, with board member Lynn Vermilion voting against the raise.

“The estimated total expense to provide the driver’s education program is about $82,000 per year,” Superintendent Pat Halloran said. “The increased fee will help offset the program.”

Halloran said that the fees, along with possible state reimbursement, would be about $70,000.

He said that because the district operates on a deficit each year, it is important to increase revenues where possible. The board unanimously approved keeping the remainder of school fees the same.

The board also discussed the tentative amended budget that will be presented at the June meeting for board

approval. Halloran said the education fund has remained stable and will see slight revenue decreases because of state payments, but overall they are right on target.

The operations and maintenance fund was a little more volatile, Halloran said, because of some unforeseen expenses. Those expenses include $40,000 needed to address the HVAC system at GAVC, as well as nearly $100,000 in projects at the high school that need to be addressed, but were not scheduled.

“We will transfer $175,000 out of the transportation fund into the O and M fund,” Halloran said.

The transportation costs for special education students were less than what was budgeted, so additional money is available for transfer.

The board also approved: • A three-year contract for Jeff Johnson as athletic director with a salary of $91,700. Johnson will replace current director George Dergo, who is retiring.

• A contract to retain the school resource officer.

• The replacement of classroom tile.

COAL CITY – School districts throughout Illinois are busy evaluating disciplinary procedures in preparation for the 2016-17 school year.

On May 4, Senate Bill 100 was a topic of considerable discussion during a meeting of the Coal City Community Unit School District 1 Board of Education, Superintendent Kent Bugg said.

The bill, signed in August 2015 into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner and set to take effect in September, makes significant changes to school districts’ disciplinary policies.

Bugg asked assistant principals at the district’s schools to give a presentation to the board about the impact the bill would have on student discipline procedures. Among the list of requirements, the legislation keeps districts from using “zero-tolerance” suspensions and expulsions. It will require schools to exhaust all other means of intervention before expelling students or suspending them for more than three days.

“All districts will have to make

changes,” Bugg said.

The bill received bipartisan support and rose initially out of Chicago schools, Bugg said, where lawmakers became concerned that too many minority students were being suspended in comparison with suspensions of white students.

Bugg said the board understood how the bill would force changes to district disciplinary practices, and members showed concern for educating parents in the community about what it means for their children. Many schools had zero-tolerance policies in place for issues such as bullying or drugs previously, but these policies will no longer be allowed.

“We now have to show a student presents danger or substantial harm to the learning environment in order to suspend or expel them,” Bugg said.

Once the student returns to class, the school has to then show that all re-engagement strategies have been followed.

In business news, the board approved a contract of just over $194,000 with the lowest bidder – Vortex Flooring – to install new flooring at Coal City Middle School. Bugg said the work will be completed over the summer.

Shaw Media Corespondent MINOOKA – The Minooka Community High School Board last week discussed whether to increase the rate of pay for summer help.

Chief School Business Official John Troy said at the May 5 school board meeting that several students will be needed over the break this year to do work mostly at Central Campus.

The work will be more strenuous than in previous years, Troy said, and the students should probably be compensated more.

Last year the workers were paid $8.25 per hour – the minimum wage – with returning workers receiving slightly more. Troy asked the board if they would consider raising that figure to $10 per hour across the board.

“This year,” he said, “a significant amount of hard labor will be involved. ... It’s a pretty big undertaking we have planned.”

After the meeting, Troy said the projects included moving several large lockers out of the building. Before South Campus was built, he said, what’s known now as Central Campus was fairly crowded, and more lockers

were necessary. The building would have considerably more room if those lockers were removed, he said.

Work is also needed on outdoor maintenance such as painting sheds and fences.

Ten positions are open for the work. High school juniors and seniors normally are hired for them. The jobs will be full days for the entire summer, Troy said. Board member Patti Reuttiger added that the students are usually allowed time off for camp or vacation. The jobs are posted now, Troy said, and he already has a list of some names.

The board is expected to vote on the recommended pay raise at the May 19 meeting.

MORRIS – Some people might think their postal carrier just delivers their mail and then forgets about them.

That doesn’t seem to be the case, however, as on May 14, the National Association of Letter Carriers, U.S. Postal Service and other partners are asking area residents to help Stamp Out Hunger.

The annual food drive has grown into a national effort that provides assistance to the millions of Americans struggling to put food on the table, according to a news release about the event.

“This was actually initiated by our carriers union,” Morris Postmaster Tom Kimes said. “I think it’s a good thing that they recognized that there are people in need and that they wanted to help the community they serve.”

The Stamp Out Hunger food drive, held on the second Saturday in May, has become the nation’s largest single-day food drive. In 2015, Americans donated 70.6 million pounds of food,

feeding millions of people. It was the 12th consecutive year of at least 70 million pounds collected by letter carriers, bringing the grand total to 1.4 billion pounds of food collected since the food drive began in 1993, according to the news release.

Kimes said donations can be made by leaving a bag of nonperishable food items by the mailbox. There should not be any frozen or refrigerated food, and items should be within expiration dates and unopened.

Kimes added that there is no set limit as to how much a family can donate, but asked that if it is more than a bag or two, to call the post office so that it will be sure to be picked up.

Items that can be donated include canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice or cereal. Letter carriers will collect donations as they deliver the mail and take them to local food banks. The Morris post office is partnering with We Care of Grundy County for their food donations.

Pink Heals holds Mother’s Day walk to help cancer patients

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – In honor of his wife ,Cathy O’Connor, who died in 2015 from ovarian cancer, Steve O’Connor of Joliet joined 30 family members and friends Sunday to honor his wife and support the organization that helped her through her battle.

“Before she passed, Pink Heals came out to the house for a visit. We had over 100 people come see her and we had a picnic,” O’Connor said. “That was one of the best days of my life, seeing the love and support. Since then, we have been committed to Pink Heals for my wife.”

A sea of pink filled the Channahon Village Hall parking lot Sunday for the second annual Pink Heals Joliet Chapter Mother’s Day 5K Walk. More than 1,500 walkers – 300 more than last year’s inaugural event – gathered to support Pink Heals and those who have fought and are in the midst of a cancer fight.

“The Channahon leaders and community has been amazing. They see how Pink Heals has helped those in the area and see how important it is to support and rally behind the residents,” Pink Heals Joliet Chapter President and co-founder Matt Fleck said.

Pink Heals, with its slogan to “Support women and their families, not causes,” is

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

More than 1,500 walkers came out Sunday to take part in the second annual Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter Mother’s Day Walk in Channahon. The walk raised around $40,000 to support those in the area who battle cancer. a national organization; Joliet has had a chapter since 2013. Fleck said 100 percent of the money raised benefits those with cancer in its own communities, along with the organization being 100 percent

volunteer run.

Pink Heals takes its pink fire trucks and vehicles to visit those from Morris to Mokena and Plainfield to Braidwood who have cancer, and offers a support system,

as well as financial assistance.

“I have been with Pink Heals for almost four years, and have now been diagnosed with cancer for my third time.

Pink Heals is my support team,” Joliet resident Ereen Koscielski said. “This walk is amazing, and I hope it gets bigger and bigger. We need to support all mothers.”

The event opened with prayer by the Rev. Father Peter Jarosz of St. Ann Parish in Channahon, and an honor to Dr. Spomenka Jercinovic of Shorewood for her battle with cancer. Jercinovic told the crowd how she had gone to her doctor for an unrelated issue, and after she was urged to have a mammogram – since she said it had been 10 years since her last one – her tests came back positive for breast cancer.

“I want to stress the importance of getting a mammogram to all women. Once you turn 40, go out and get a mammogram,” Jercinovic said.

Angie Caldwell, director of home visits for Pink Heals Joliet Chapter, sent the crowd off through the streets of Channahon, which were lined with pink balloons and signs to support the cause.

“We surpassed what we made last year with walkers and merchandise before this year’s event even started. I think we will bring in around $40,000 this year,” Caldwell said.

• RETIRING

Continued from page 3 Rath said she fought back tears when several students told her they were sad to see her go. She expects more tears to follow as the 2016 graduation looms on May 20 and when she says goodbye to her final Student Council group.

A 1970 graduate of MCHS herself, it seems Rath was just destined to spend most of her career at 1000 Union St. Rath started in 1974 at MCHS as a secretary after graduating from Illinois State University, but then landed her first teaching job at Coal City High School.

She spent a few years there before getting a call from former MCHS Dean of Students Margaret Bednarik to apply for an opening.

“I hadn’t thought of leaving Coal City, but coming back to where I graduated from to teach higher-level classes was a big draw for me,” Rath said.

She accepted the job – offered on the condition that she would lead the bowling, poms and cheer squads. Extracurriculars have been a part of her life story, she said.

Rath coached cheerleading for 12 years before later moving on to National

Honor Society and head sponsor of Student Council. And in her time, she’s seen the evolution of technology in the classroom.

“We started out on manual typewriters,” Rath said. “We thought it was a huge thing when we got our first electric one. Then it was a lab full of them, then it was computers.”

You may be able to replace technology, but you can’t truly replace people.

A combination of faculty members will absorb her extracurricular duties.

“You never really replace her,” Hussey said. “With what she’s done for Student Council and how she’s elevated it, the challenge is – how can they further elevate it?”

Though she is retiring from most of her workload, she’ll experience a transition into full retirement rather than a sudden one. Rath agreed to teach Accounting I and II three days per week in the next school year upon Hussey’s request. But it won’t be quite the same.

“I’ve been very fortunate there hasn’t been a day I didn’t want to do this,” Rath said. “I think that’s why I’m having separation anxiety. There’s been a lot of tears lately. It doesn’t feel like 41 years. I can’t imagine having a job you dread getting up and going to.”

Layne Kief, wearing a Rathcity Student Council sweatshirt, asks her teacher Barb Rath for help on her accounting project during class Monday afternoon.

Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie’s “Midewin Bison Expedition” was held Saturday, with the bison herd brought to a 40-acre event pasture for the public to see.

South Dakota.

All the female bison already were pregnant when they arrived, and babies now are part of the herd. Pregnancy for a female bison lasts about nine and a half months.

The expedition was the first official showing of the bison herd since they

moved in last fall.

Visitors boarded buses in either Wilmington or Elwood to be transported to the trail head, where a short walk led them to the fence line where the buffalo and their babies were grazing.

Staff and volunteers were on hand and warned visitors before they exit-

ed the bus that the buffalo were very sensitive to stress, and asked guests refrain from adding stress to the large animals.

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

If you missed the bison Saturday, the bison range can be accessed via the Iron Bridge Trailhead on Route 53 at the intersection of South Chicago and Hoff roads. For a longer trek, the range can also be accessed via the Wauponsee Glacial Trail.

WILMINGTON – Tom Lewis of Coal City spent his Saturday doing what he loves to do – taking photographs.

He took advantage of the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie’s “Midewin Bison Expedition,” a public event during which the bison herd was moved out of its typical pasture that encompasses 1,200 acres of prairie to the event pasture, a much-smaller 40 acres.

“Nature is what I love shooting,” Lewis said.

The bison expedition is where he will remember taking his last film photograph ever. He said he used the last of his film at the event, and will now shoot just digital.

He has photographed nature in many federal parks, but having the opportunity to capture the bison this close to home was exciting.

“Now that I’ve been out here and I know I can bike the path to find them, I think I will,” he said.

The bison herd, four bulls and 23 cows, were reintroduced to the prairie’s pastures in October. The bulls came from a USDA/APHIS facility near Fort Collins, Colorado, and the cows came from a ranch near Mitchell,

Traffic on Route 6 in Channahon Deadline to apply for SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans is June 3 delayed after series of crashes

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Commuters in Channahon on Tuesday morning who typically use Route 6 experienced delays because of a crash that happened elsewhere.

Channahon Police Deputy Chief Adam Bogart said an accident on westbound Interstate 80 near River Road in Shorewood caused the delays.

“Typically there’s an increase of traffic in Channahon when accidents occur on I-80,” Bogart said. “We saw some congestion near [Minooka Community High School South Campus] and the downtown area.”

Route 6 serves as a back-up route for some when I-80 is jammed. Bogart

said it appeared many people diverted their commutes through Route 6.

Illinois State Police Sgt. Scott Angus said subjects in the crash were taken to Morris Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

But traffic was further delayed in Channahon by a minor crash on Route 6 east of Interstate 55. As of 10 a.m., the crash had been cleared and Channahon police were investigating a truck in the ditch at Youngs Road, which is part of an industrial area. Bogart said there were no injuries in either crash.

“Now it’s just a matter of traffic getting situated again and clearing out,” Bogart said.

Angus said there were no other significant crashes in District 5 as a result of the rain Tuesday morning.

Morris Retail Association Greater Grundy County Readers’ Choice 2016! hosts Girls Night Out

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The warmer weather and sunshine on May 5 brought shoppers out in full force for the Morris Retail Association Girls Night Out in downtown Morris.

“It was a successful event. I thought the crowds were there,” Jane Kerr, co-owner of Apple Butter & Shugie’s on Liberty Street, said Monday. “The weather was great.”

Donna Chapman, who was shopping with friends, said that between the warm weather and the treats at each shop, they couldn’t think of a better way to spend the evening.

While she wasn’t shopping for anything in particular, she already had two bags in her hand as she headed toward Liberty Street in search of stores with the polka dot balloons out front.

There were 27 retailers participating in the 12th annual event, which invites people to shop locally in downtown Morris.

Kerr said the event is successful in part because retailers come together and work in tandem to promote it.

“I think we have an excellent working relationship between the retailers,” Kerr said. “We promote it in the store and on our Facebook pages.”

The event, which is always held the Thursday before Mother’s Day, offers an opportunity for moms and daughters to shop together, or to get a last-minute Mother’s Day gift.

In addition to shopping, those downtown were treated to Hershey’s Kisses from First Presbyterian Church and gifts of hand sanitizer from a local credit union.

For the past five years, the event has offered an after party where those who shopped downtown during the event could go and have the chance to win a gift.

When shoppers made a purchase at one of the participating retailers they were given a ticket for each $10 spent. This year the ticket gave them an opportunity to win one of 77 gifts and 11 shirts at Morris Chop Shop.

Voting starts May 1st and will run through June 15th Vote for your favorites in over 40 business categories.

Eighth-graders get jump-start on career choices

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – About 1,500 eighth-graders got an early look last week at the inner workings of many careers, as community leaders hoped the students found something to pursue just before high school starts.

The soon-to-be high schoolers walked through the doors of the Morris Community High School field house on May 5 for the second annual Grundy County 8th Grade Career Expo. The event is a collaborative effort between the Community Foundation of Grundy County, Grundy Area Vocational Center and various businesses and organizations. Students from Grundy County middle schools, along with Seneca, Dwight and Channahon schools, were invited.

Many of the students, such as Keith Heninger of Channahon Junior High School, were visibly excited about the opportunity to get hands-on input from professionals in different fields.

“This is a really big opportunity to see what you have ahead of you,” Heninger said. “It could help you make a decision on what you want to do for a career.”

Heninger was one student who stopped by the GAVC automotive technology booth, where they waited in line to compete in spark plug removal races.

Mike Mallory – mmallory@shawmedia.com

Students from Channahon Junior High School compete May 5 in a spark plug removal race at the second annual Grundy County 8th Grade Career Expo at Morris Community High School.

Community High School and GAVC student, found it rewarding to boost interest in automotive technology among students just a few years younger than he.

“I love teaching kids new things,” Lindemann said. “You get to see them having fun here. It’s a great start for them.”

The regional office of the National Weather Service set up a booth with photos of local severe weather events

and a river model to illustrate how flooding happens.

Hydrologist Bill Morris said the NWS attends these community events because you never know when you might find the next hydrologist or meteorologist.

“We let them know what we are, what we do and the education it takes to do it,” Morris said. “It’s great to see enthusiasm from the kids who are interested in science.”

Grundy County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Christina Van Yperen said in addition to explaining the role the Chamber plays locally, its message last week was to inspire.

“We want to teach them that if you have a dream or a passion, you can make a living off of it,” Van Yperen said.

Van Yperen used the example of FlutterBy Popcorn, which opened last year in Morris after a fire in its original Utica store and is working toward a new store there.

“Their passion is to make popcorn from scratch – and they turned it into two businesses,” she said.

The hope of event planners is that students walked away from the expo with an idea of what career path they want to follow and how to get there.

Community Foundation of Grundy County Executive Director Julie Buck said that starts with selecting the right classes for freshman year.

“It’s important to pick the right classes early so you aren’t kicking yourself later saying, ‘I wish I would have taken that class,’” Buck said.

The entities in attendance last week could be the ones to kick-start that decision-making process. Several local trades unions, the military, a cosmetology school, dance studio, Village of Coal City, and companies such as Buffalo Wild Wings talked in detail with the students.

LyondellBasell Morris complex hosts U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – The Morris Complex of LyondellBasell, one of the world’s largest plastics, chemical and refining companies, hosted U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, for a roundtable meeting and town hall event last week with plant workers and local officials.

“I always appreciate the opportunity to visit with the employees here at LyondellBasell’s Morris Complex,” Kinzinger said during the May 5 visit. “This visit was no exception, and I’m glad I was able to meet with so many of my constituents.”

The congressman, a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, has made multiple visits to the Morris Complex and was able to learn more about the issues facing manufacturing, as well as discuss matters affecting the 16th Congres-

sional District with employees.

“We have been honored to have Congressman Kinzinger visit our facility on multiple occasions,” said Brain Angwin, LyondellBasell Morris Complex site manager. “This is another great opportunity to showcase our employees as well as reinforce the positive economic benefits that the Morris Complex provides to the local community and the congressman’s district.”

The Morris Complex is one of the largest petrochemical facilities in the Midwest and annually spends about $100 million in payroll, benefits and purchases from local vendors. Using natural gas liquids as a feedstock, the plant manufactures ethylene, the world’s most widely used petrochemical, which is then converted into polyethylene resins.

These resins provide value to our society by serving as building blocks

“[Last week] was a great chance to discuss and learn more about the investments being made by one of the district’s leading manufacturers that will further enhance the longterm vitality of their Morris facility,” Kinzinger said.

OPINIONS Are Illinois Republicans going to crash and burn?

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller why Rauner recently let it be known that he won’t endorse Trump and won’t attend the Republican convention in Cleveland this summer, and why, as I write this, appointed Comptroller Leslie Munger is expected to make the same decisions because she’s up for special election this fall.

And you also don’t have to be Einstein to realize that the one-two combo of Rauner and Trump could spell big trouble for down-ballot Republicans.

On the other hand, Rauner’s team says it has polling which shows, by a 2-1 margin, that voters blame House Speaker Michael Madigan more than the governor for the ongoing impasse.

To voters, Madigan is “the all-knowing puppet-master,” explained one Rauner official last week.

As long as this impasse is going on, Rauner’s legislative allies have a handy pivot they can use, paid for with oil tanker loads of the wealthy Rauner’s cash. Whenever Democratic legislators or candidates demand their Republican opponents answer for the latest Trump outrage or their support for and/or from the unpopular Rauner, the Republicans can turn it back on the Democrats by demanding they justify their support for and/or from the obstructive Speaker Madigan.Even if yet another “Fire Madigan” effort by Republicans isn’t as effective as they believe it will be, many Democrats will freely admit right now that voters are overwhelmingly blaming incumbents rather than a single political party or person for the impasse – and there are a whole lot more Democratic incumbents than Republicans in the General Assembly.

In a campaign, once your opponent goes down, you never take your boot off that person’s neck.

But all those legislative Democrats may wind up doing if the impasse lasts through November is unhelpfully distract Illinois voters from the weirdness at the national and statewide levels.

Morris Herald-News / MorrisHerald-News.com • Thursday, May 12, 2016

With yet another poll showing plunging downstate support for Gov. Bruce Rauner in a Republican district and the intense Republican freakout over Donald Trump’s impending presidential nomination and its impact on independent suburban women, there appears to be a growing feeling among Democrats, particularly in the Illinois Senate, to get out of the way to let the other party crash and burn.

The almost yearlong state government impasse is most definitely having an impact on Rauner’s poll numbers.

Bernie Schoenburg reported in the State Journal-Register last week that a Public Policy Polling poll of appointed Republican state Rep. Sara Wojcicki Jimenez’s Springfield-area district had Rauner upside down, with 37 percent approving of the way the governor is doing his job, while a majority of 54 percent disapproved. Rauner won that district, 58-37, in 2014, according to Illinois Election Data’s numbers. So, basically Rauner’s numbers have flipped almost entirely the other way.

Another PPP poll of GOP state Rep. Terri Bryant’s southern Illinois district near Carbondale was even worse for the governor. Rauner won Rep. Bryant’s district, 60-33, but 57 percent of voters in that district disapprove of Rauner’s job performance, while only 33 percent approve. That’s just about a mirror opposite image of his 2014 result. Both polls were taken April 14-17 and had margins of error of a bit over 4 percent. A PPP poll taken last August in Bryant’s district had the governor’s job approval rating at 40 percent and his disapproval rating was 51. So, that’s a net loss of 13 points in eight months.

Rep. Bryant also is experiencing a freefall if the pollster’s numbers are correct. Last August, PPP had her at a 50 percent job approval rating and a 27 percent disapproval rating. Now, she’s at 42 percent approval and 43 percent disapproval. That’s a huge swing.

Gallup’s daily March tracking polls showed 70 percent of women nationally had an unfavorable view of the presumptive nominee Trump. That number is surely higher in the more Democratic-leaning Illinois, where independent suburban women have been the deciding factor in just about every major statewide race since 1990.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out

Looking forward to this year’s Liberty 5K

The Morris Downtown Development Partnership is excited to bring the seventh annual Liberty 5K Run/ Walk back to downtown Morris!

The Liberty 5K has grown into what we believe is the largest 5K in Morris. One might wonder why this 5K, held on one of the busiest weekends of the year, has become so popular.

I sincerely believe it is due to the fact that we honor, support and recognize our military personnel. Those who have attended this 5K have seen the sea of red, white and blue runners in patriotic garb sporting everything from red, white and blue ribbons, apparel, necklaces, hair, glasses, and even tutus! Some even carry U.S. flags.

The patriotic theme isn’t the only way we recognize our military personnel. Each year, there is a special awards bracket for all military personnel and a special military trophy is awarded to first-, second- and third-place male and female overall military finishers.

Additionally, all military person-

COMMUNITY PULSE Julie Applegate nel receive a special promotional piece. The military theme is apparent throughout the event.

It begins with a flyover by the local Experimental Aircraft Chapter, followed by the national anthem, and flags presented by the Morris Color Guard. As the race begins, local Marines join the runners and sing cadence.

Another appeal of the Liberty 5K is the fact that it is a chip-timed race on a certified course. The course takes runners through nostalgic downtown Morris, area parks and neighborhoods.

The route is completely paved and primarily flat with a few slight hills. Locals and visitors alike have complimented the 5K committee on the excellent course.

Although we honor our military

personnel, there are plenty of perks for all runners. The first 500 participants will receive a free Liberty 5K water bottle, compliments of the Morris Herald-News. A performance shirt and other giveaways will also be in the goodie bags of runners registered in advance.

Other highlights of the Liberty 5K are the one-fourth-mile and onehalf-mile kid’s runs. Medals will be awarded to the top male and female finishers in each run, and a special award is given to the most patriotic runner.

Of course, there will be medals for the top three male and female runners in each age division, as well as trophies and cash awards for the top three male and female finishers overall.

Those who are in running clubs also have the opportunity to win cash for their club. The three running clubs with the most participants will be receive awards of $300, $200 and $100.

The Liberty 5K would not be possible without the support of our

sponsors. Major sponsors for this year’s event include the Morris Herald-News, WCSJ/WJDK, as well as the support of the Heritage Corridor Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Here are the details: The Liberty 5K Run/Walk is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. July 3.

The kids’ runs will begin at 6:15 p.m. The cost to register by June 26 is $25, and $35 on race day. The cost of the kids’ run is $5.

Interested runners can register online at www.active.com, download a registration form from www. liberty5k.com, or contact the Morris Downtown Development Partnership, Inc. at mddp@downtownmorris.com or 815-941-0245.

Morris Hospital cardiac rehabilitation nurse

Fire Starter of the Month brightens the lives of cardiac patients SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Tonya Cavanaugh proves every day that she has one of the biggest hearts around. It’s only fitting that she happens to strengthen hearts for a living as a cardiac rehabilitation nurse at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers, where her shining smile and positive attitude brighten the lives of countless patients recovering from heart disease.

It’s because of her upbeat energy and genuine compassion that Cavanaugh, of Braidwood, was named Morris Hospital’s April Fire Starter of the Month.

“Tonya always has a smile on her face. She’s always upbeat, she’s always positive, and she’s always cheerful,” said Pat Cravens, cardiovascular clinical educator at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers. “Her

actions demonstrate compassion for her patients and love of her job.”

As a cardiac rehabilitation nurse, Cavanaugh cares for patients recovering from heart conditions and procedures. She monitors patients during their cardiac conditioning to make sure they do it safely, and she also teaches those patients how to care for their hearts and watch for potentially harmful signs and Tonya symptoms.

Cavanaugh Cavanaugh says she is captivated by seeing her patients strengthen their hearts and improve their health.

“I truly enjoy seeing the progression that these patients make in their lives, not only physical, but emotional as well,” said Cavanaugh, who has

worked at Morris Hospital since 2007.

“I want to see them improve in their health and live a happy life.”

The cardiac rehabilitation process isn’t an easy one for patients, which is why having an uplifting presence like Cavanaugh is so meaningful.

“Tonya has a bubbly personality, which is definitely an attribute in her role in cardiac rehab,” said Jori Christensen, director of cardiovascular services and education at Morris Hospital. “It’s sometimes tough to motivate patients to exercise. Tonya’s ‘can-do’ attitude mixed with her infectious personality makes her a perfect fit for the department.”

But it’s not just her routine duties that have earned Cavanaugh honors as Fire Starter of the Month. She is always willing to put in that little extra for the benefit of her department and patients. She leads the Heart Failure

Support Group, a support system for anyone who has been diagnosed with heart failure, and she volunteers her time and creativity to organize fun activities and events for cardiac rehabilitation patients. For Cavanaugh, it’s what you do for people you care about.

“We’re like family here,” she said.

“It’s not only with the nurses that we work with, and the techs, but also our patients. We have a very close bond with our patients.”

In early civilizations, fire starters were the individuals who had the important job of keeping the flame alive.

As Fire Starter of the Month, Cavanaugh received a Grundy County Chamber of Commerce gift certificate, a Morris Hospital logoed clothing item of her choice, a special “Fire Starter” lapel pin, and a designated parking spot for the month.

Local pastors gather in National Day of Prayer

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Florence Osborne drove to Morris on May 5 so she could participate in the National Day of Prayer.

As eight local pastors spoke from the top of the stairs at the Grundy County Courthouse about what the nation is facing and prayed for different aspects of the country, Osborne bowed her head with her hands folded, finishing each prayer with the pastors before she looked up.

“I came to pray,” she said after the event. “I came to try and save our nation.”

Osborne was one of about 30 people who sat quietly as each prayer was said. Pastor Steve Cook, with Living Water Church of the Nazarene, said the day is important.

“We do this in the United States because the motto we use is ‘In God we trust.’ And we need to lift prayers to the one and only true God,” he said after the event.

He said what many don’t understand about the National Day of Prayer is that it isn’t about bringing in non-believers. Instead it is about calling on the faithful to drop to their knees in prayer for their community around them.

According to nationaldayofprayer. org, the National Day of Prayer tradition predates the founding of the United States. The Continental Congress’ proclamation in 1775 set aside a day of prayer. In 1952, Congress established an annual day of prayer and in 1988 that law was amended, making the first Thursday of May the National Day of Prayer.

This year marks the 65th annual National Day of Prayer in the country.

The theme this year, according to the organization’s website, is “Wake Up America.” The theme emphasizes the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to return to the God of the founding fathers in reverence for his holy name. The theme was supported by this year’s verse, Isaiah 58:1.

“Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet.”

Cook, who opened the event, read a prayer written by Tony Evans, which was read throughout the nation at noon.

“Thank you for your promise to hear our prayers when we call to you with hearts of repentance and obedience, which is how we are appealing to you today, Father. On behalf of your church, we affirm afresh the priority you are to us that you would fill every dimension of our lives as we seek to bring you glory through the advancement of your kingdom in our personal lives, our family lives, and in the lives

We confidently invite heaven’s intervention into all the affairs of our nation and we praise you in advance for your answer,” Cook read to conclude the prayer.

After the opening prayer, fellow pastors climbed the stairs one by one to pray for different aspects of the nation.

Pastor Larry Jacobsgaard, from

Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Lisbon, prayed for the government.

Sen. Sue Rezin hosts Youth Advisory Council SUBMITTED REPORT

SPRINGFIELD – Dozens of high school students from across the 38th Senate District were selected to participate in a unique, hands-on experience in state government May 3, as part of state Sen. Sue Rezin’s first Youth Advisory Council.

“We hear it often that we must get more young people involved in the legislative process and show them the importance of public policy,” said Rezin, R-Morris. “The future of our democracy lies in their hands. That’s why I was so excited to host my first Youth Advisory Council and have students reinforce my belief that the future looks bright.”

Rezin hosted the all-day Youth Advisory Council in Springfield, talking with students from Coal City, Gardner-South Wilmington, LaSalle-Peru Township, Morris, St. Bede Academy, Streator, Wilmington and Woodland high schools about Illinois government and how the Legislature operates. She shared stories of her experiences in the statehouse, discussed what it takes to become a legislator, and answered questions.

The group received a tour of the Capitol building, visited the floor level

Rezin, Landon Jones, Bridget Bryne, Danny Black and Jena Weist. of the Senate chamber, witnessed how the General Assembly operates firsthand and up close, and heard from other state senators and political leaders, such as Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti.

Students also met Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Students later broke into small

groups, each discussing and debating issues that are currently in the news or issues that are important to them.

Each small group then brought forward a policy proposal for a new state law or change in state law.

Acting as a moderator, Rezin facil-

itated a group discussion and debate about each small group’s proposed legislation.

“I learned about several aspects of Illinois government that I didn’t know before,” said Ryleigh Christensen of Coal City High School. “I only really knew the surface of what legislators do. I didn’t know the amount of indepth work and effort that goes into making the state operate.”

“It was nice to have a debate where someone isn’t screaming out their opinions,” said Landon Jones of Morris. “It’s nice to have a conversation where both sides can talk about what they want when dealing with an important issue.”

“My favorite experience was debating with other students about different issues that are being discussed in government today,” said Jena Weist of Morris.

“I learned a lot about how the legislative process works and the difficulties legislators face when trying to pass legislation,” Morris’ Eli Jameson said.

“It’s so refreshing to see these young people engaged in the political process,” Rezin said. “I hope this experience energizes them even more.”

Rezin intends to host another Youth Advisory Council session in the fall.

MORRIS – Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers has received an “A” rating on the Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Safety Score, placing Morris Hospital in a group of 153 hospitals in the nation and 17 in Illinois who have earned the “Straight A” since 2013 designation.

The “Straight A” designation calls attention to hospitals that consistently have received an A grade for safety in the last three years of Hospital Safety Scores.

Leapfrog Group launched the Hospital Safety Score in June 2012 and issues new report cards every six months. Morris Hospital received an “A” rating on all of its nine report cards.

The Hospital Safety Score uses national performance measures from the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the American Hospital Association’s Annual Survey and Health Information Technology Supplement.

Together, the performance measures produce a single score representing a hos-

FRIENDLY RIVALS Morris and Minooka still have a history, albeit one that has grown more civil / 41

MORRIS, MINOOKA

Once heated battles, games between neighboring schools now are more friendly

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, May 12, 2016

MORRIS – For a long time, the proximity of Morris and Minooka high schools made the cities rivals on the athletic field. Although they weren’t in the same conference, there was a desire in each school to beat the other that surpassed the desire to beat schools from most other towns.

Then, in 1991, Minooka joined the Little Seven Conference, and the rivalry heated up. That continued when both became members of the Suburban Prairie Conference, which eventually morphed into the Southwest Prairie, the conference that currently has Minooka as a member.

Morris left the Southwest Prairie to join the NCIC in 2008, and then moved into the Northern Illinois Big 12, so the conference part of the rivalry has gone by the wayside.

With the advent of the four-class system in former two-class sports such as baseball, softball and basketball, and three classes in wrestling and track and field, the growth of Minooka’s enrollment in the past decade has ensured that the Redskins and Indians won’t be meeting each other in the postseason.

Outside of football, Minooka is in the largest division in the state, while Morris’ enrollment has remained in the middle of the pack and put them in 3A in four-class sports and 2A in three-class events.

That doesn’t stop the two schools from finding time to schedule each other and keep the old rivalry flames alive, although they might not burn quite as hot as they had in their heyday. For instance, Minooka had a basketball season in which it won one game all year. But because that one game was at Morris, the win made the rest of the losses a bit easier to swallow.

“It’s a friendly rivalry now,” Minooka softball coach Mark Brown said after his Indians beat Morris, 7-3, on Friday afternoon. “We have a lot of respect for Morris and the program they have here. They’re tough to beat, especially on their home field, but we play some real good competition in our own conference, too.

Mark Brown

Minooka softball coach “It’s not like we circle the [Morris] games on the calendar like we used to, but if we are going to play them, we might as well come out and try to beat them.”

Morris softball coach Jen Lowery tends to focus more on the conference schedule than the rivalry aspect, as

well.

“We are honestly looking more at conference games,” she said after Friday night’s loss. “We are 8-1 in the conference with big games against Geneseo, Sterling and LaSalle-Peru

to play yet. They are also teams that we may see in the postseason, where we won’t see Minooka because they are in a higher class than we are.

“It’s still fun to beat them because they are so close to us. And it used to be that a lot of the girls on both teams would be on the same travel team in the summer. Now there are so many travel teams going all over that there isn’t that much interaction any more.”

Minooka’s Lexi Cerven, who had a pair of hits and scored three times in the game, confirmed some of what Lowery said.

“I don’t play with any of the Morris girls over the summer,” she said.

“I play with some from a few other teams in our conference, but not with any of the girls who play for Morris.

But it’s still fun to come over here and beat them on their field. Even though they aren’t in our conference, they are still kind of a rival because they are so close.”

Morris softball scores pair of NIB 12 wins STAFF REPORTS MORRIS – After suffering a 7-3 nonconference defeat at the hands of Grundy County rival Minooka on Friday, the Morris softball team turned its attention to a pair of tough Northern Illinois Big 12 tests.

The Redskins passed with flying colors, defeating Geneseo, 7-2, on Saturday and then upending LaSalle-Peru, 3-1, on Monday. The wins give Morris a 10-1 record in the NIB 12, just behind Sterling, who is unbeaten in league play. The two teams were scheduled to play Tuesday, but the weather didn’t cooperate.

Morris (19-7 overall) jumped on Geneseo early, taking a 5-0 lead at the close of the first inning. Winning pitcher Abby Burns started the rally with one out by reaching first on an error.

Ashley Phelps then singled to left, and Emily Moore walked to load the bases. Courtesey runner Allison Kukman scored on a fielder’s choice off the bat

of Ryan Friend. Melissa Benson then singled, scoring Phelps. Amanda Jenkins followed that up with a single that scored both Friend and Benson. Olivia Schultz then singled to left, followed by an RBI single from Claire Gugerty.

Geneseo made a pitching change and got out the first inning without more damage. The Maple Leafs scored a run in the top of the fifth, but Morris answered right back by scoring twice in the bottom half. Phelps doubled, and advanced to third on a single by Moore.

Benson then singled to left, scoring Phelps and advancing Moore to third.

Moore scored on and RBI sacrifice fly from Jenkins.

Geneseo scored another run in the top of the sixth, but couldn’t muster more offense against Burns. Burns went the distance, giving up two earned runs on four hits while striking out six. Phelps finished the day going 3 for 4 at the plate with a double. Jenkins and Melissa Benson had two hits each, while Moore, Schultz, Burns and Gu-

gerty added a hit each.

lor Meents, who was 3 for 4 with a run,

a strong offensive showing Monday, collecting 10 hits. LaSalle put the first run on the board, scoring one in the bottom of the third. Morris answered right back, scoring twice in the top of the fourth. Emily Moore reached on a single and advanced to second on a single by Amanda Jenkins. Ryan Friend then singled to center, scoring Moore and advancing Jenkins to third. Two consecutive walks plated Jenkins and gave Morris a 3-1 lead that ended up being enough support for winning pitcher Abby Burns.

Burns threw all seven innings, giving up one earned run on four hits while striking out six. Moore, Burns and Friend had two hits each for Morris, while Jenkins, Jasmine Cook, Phelps and Olivia Schultz each added a hit.

Coal City 8, Seneca 2: Coal City (21-5, 11-2) collected eight hits in the Interstate Eight Conference win, led by Tay-

Olsen slugged a two-run homer, while Cali Caruso had two hits and two RBIs. Winning pitcher Leslie Youskevtch struck out three and gave up six hits.

Taylor Bushman suffered the loss for Seneca (17-14), going six innings and allowing five earned runs while striking out two. She also had two hits and stole a base offensively.

Be sure to weigh the value of your purchases I talked to my brother this last week about fishing. He scheduled two days off from work so he could hit the lake, and the anticipation was high.

Something went wrong.

His outboard motor lost its neutral and reverse gears, causing havoc while trying to maneuver around the lake, let alone when it came time to load.

He called me to vent and express his frustration. He hated to waste his second day off work. Instead of fishing, he would now be driving to an outboard mechanic two hours away.

Our discussion soon moved toward the thought of a new boat.

He told me that the boat is not worth putting dollars into the outboard.

Yet the money to buy a whole new rig was not going to magically appear.

We are faced with these types of dilemmas. Thank goodness his was about fishing time and not anything more serious.

But what do we do for that next big purchase?

Do we spend extra and get something of quality, or do we save dollars knowing the tradeoff may be frustration, but a healthier pocketbook?

Let me give you an example I dealt with four years ago. When I bought my used aluminum bass boat, I knew that even if I bought it new, it was designed by the manufacturer to hit a price point.

They go cheap in certain areas to bring down the overall sticker price.

The onboard battery charger was one area of my boat the manufacturer cut costs.

It was failing. It wouldn’t charge my batteries and therefore my trolling motor died in just a couple of hours.

Coal City 20, Wilmington 12: In a nonconference game Friday, Brad Littleton 4 for 4 with two home runs and eight RBIs to lead the way for the Coalers.

Illinois Lutheran 2, Gardner-South Wilmington 0: G-SW (9-11, 6-4) had one hit in

batteries because the new charger has kept them alive longer than I expected.

They always are ready. They are fully charged and they last all day without any issues.

The debate continues. Do we buy higher quality at the point of purchase, or do we upgrade later?

No easy answer.

The outdoors industry is full of examples that fall under the adage “you get what you pay for.” This is true, but there are times that we can only afford so much.

When it comes to your next major purchase, I’m sure you will ponder these questions.

I guess it comes down to this, buy the best you can with the money you have.

May your equipment run properly the next time you back that boat into the lake and big fish grab your lines.

Good luck.

When I contacted the manufacturer for an OEM replacement I was shocked to see a brand-new charger, just like the one on it, was only $40.

No wonder it didn’t last.

I did research and found a dual-bank charger that was considered a “smart” charger.

It would test the batteries, drain them when needed, and conditioned them. It was not a trickle charger that can cause issues if left unchecked.

I didn’t want the water to boil out of the batteries. This one could be left on all the time and the manufacturer billed it as worry free.

The downside was it cost more than $300. I debated, hemmed and hawed, and was scared to tell my wife.

Finally, I figured I would save my pennies and get the charger I wanted.

It has been three years since I bought the best charger I could for my batteries. I have been thankful many times. I have actually saved money on buying replacement

By LINDA BASSETT More Content Now

Sunday dinner was a big deal when I was growing up. Three generations gathered for a leisurely meal, talking over the week gone by, making plans for the new week, hashing out problems, discussing game scores, asking us about our school assignments. We sat around the table for hours, or until excused to give the adults a break from our squirming.

Friday nights were more fun.

Informal. No tablecloths or china.

And my grandmother knew how to make everything delicious, so no one felt deprived at this meatless meal.

Upholding her traditional upbringing, she made pasta from scratch every Thursday for Sunday dinner, and rolled out several pizzas every Friday afternoon. She would also fry vegetables for dinner. Sometimes artichokes, sometimes cauliflower, but mostly eggplant for parmigiana. We’d laugh and hop around the stove while she fried up the slices in olive oil, then put them into the oven to keep warm – and away from us.

First, she lightly coated them in flour, bathed them in eggs beaten with water, and finally coated the whole with seasoned breadcrumbs. My grandmother never grated her own breadcrumbs in my memory. She had discovered that the local grocery store carried toasted breadcrumbs, already seasoned, in a cardboard box. With food processors still in the future, she’d loved this convenience.

While she was frying, she stirred up a pot of fragrant marinara sauce, made the day before and allowed to thicken in the refrigerator overnight.

She cut thin slices of mozzarella and hand grated a wedge of parmigiano-reggiano cheese. Some of that cheese was held over for Sunday dinner. We watched as she generously layered eggplant, cheeses and sauce into a baking dish, building it as high as four layers.

When she finally lifted the large ceramic dish from the oven, its edges sweetly charred, the sauce was bubbling and the cheeses molten. We’d finished the pizza, and were looking forward to our square of the feast.

From time to time, my mother made this dish. Still delicious, but now incorporated into Sunday dinner as a side dish. Mother had a job, a bigger house and more kids to care for. She bought her breadcrumbs in a box, too, a great time-saver. And she

Hot, salty “chips” made from eggplant go well with roasted peppers, assorted cheeses, sliced roma tomatoes and chunks of good Italian bread.

often encouraged family members to bring along the eggplant so she could concentrate on the other courses.

Today, I’ve reinstated the tradition, lightened the stress of making it an every-week occasion, allowed some fluidity in the day – Friday or Saturday or Sunday. But something else has changed in the transition or translation. I make my own breadcrumbs.

I toast them in the oven, rub with a clove of garlic and whirl them in the food processor that has a permanent place on my kitchen counter. I pull sprigs of fresh basil and oregano from pots on the windowsill to season them.

Then, with all the ingredients on hand, I pull out the “standard-breading-procedure” pans that my son proudly bought at Williams-Sonoma.

I set them up as my grandmother did, flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. I heat a decent olive oil, not an expensive EVOO, in my largest skillet. Then I start to dip and fry, placing the eggplant slices on paper toweling and sprinkling with sea salt while they’re still hot.

But the final product has veered far away from my grandmother’s. The family, standing around the stove,

grabs the eggplant slices as soon as they cool enough to touch and start to munch on them. Cooking as fast as I can, I never seem to pile up enough to make the intended dish. The hot, salty eggplant “chips” are so good that none of us can wait. So the festival has changed. So instead I pile platters with roasted peppers, assorted cheeses, sliced roma tomatoes and chunks of good Italian bread. I put out a small bowl of extra-virgin olive oil for dipping.

We eat the fried eggplant standing around the stove and at the kitchen table until it is gone.

Somewhere my grandmother and mother are sighing over this. Maybe they’d like it. I don’t know. It’s all their fault, anyway.

EGGPLANT CHIPS Makes 6 to 8 servings

2 medium globe eggplants, about 1 pound each salt ¾ cup all-purpose flour, more as needed Fresh ground black pepper 1 cup toasted, grated bread crumbs 3 tablespoons minced fresh herbs (basil,

oregano, flat-leaf parsley) 2 large eggs Olive oil for frying Wash and dry eggplants. Do not peel. Slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Salt each round heavily and place in a colander. Set aside for 30 minutes to “sweat” out the bitter juices. Rinse each slice under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.

Season the flour with salt and pepper. Beat the eggs with 2 tablespoons water. Toss the breadcrumbs with the herbs. Set up three bowls in order: seasoned flour; egg wash and toasted bread crumbs.

Dip the eggplant slices in each of the three bowls, in order, and shaking of any excess at each stop. Set aside on a sheet pan, in the refrigerator if there is time, for 30 minutes.

Pour the oil, about 1-inch deep, into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant slices in batches without crowding the pan. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until lightly golden and crisp. Drain on sheet pans lined with paper towels. Salt lightly with sea salt while still hot. Keep in a warm (200F) oven or just put on the table with an array of cheese, fresh vegetables and chunks of good, crusty Italian bread.

Kaley Cuoco and Simon Helberg also star.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Strong Five teams remain. Four slots are available in the finals. Do the math. The new episode “Pay the Piper” finds the remaining contestants at the breaking point — and one of them actually crosses it, making things look decidedly unpromising for her squad. The raised stakes also make the Elimination Tower round particularly intense for the teams involved. Gabrielle Reece is the host.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Grey’s Anatomy After much debate over whether or not to proceed, Amelia and Owen (Caterina Scorsone, Kevin McKidd) move their romance to the next level in a new episode appropriately titled “At Last.” Callie and Arizona (Sara Ramirez, Jessica Capshaw) still experience strife over custody.

Alex (Justin Chambers) gets an indication of where he’s headed with Jo (Camilla Luddington). Debbie Allen and Wilmer Vanderrama guest star. Ellen Pompeo and Chandra Wilson also star.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow The Time Masters’ close proximity doesn’t make Rip nor Rory (Arthur Darvill, Dominic Purcell) very pleased in the new episode “Destiny.” Snart (Wentworth Miller) shows different colors that land him more squarely on the side of the good guys. Sara (Caity Lotz) inherits control of the Waverider. Kendra and Carter (Ciara Renee, guest star Falk Hentschel) get back together.

Victor Garber and Brandon Routh also star.

Sheryl Underwood (“The Talk”) returns as Teddy’s (Wendell Pierce) wife. Yvette Nicole Brown also stars.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Scandal Series creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes co-wrote the show’s fifth-season finale, “That’s My Girl,” in which the presidential candidates are on the verge of naming their running mates. The situation doesn’t bode well in Olivia’s (Kerry Washington) view. Cyrus (Jeff Perry) gets information that could have a major impact on the campaigning. Tony Goldwyn, Katie Lowes, Joshua Malina, Darby Stanchfield, Bellamy Young and Joe Morton also star.

8 p.m. on ) WGN The 100 The show’s third-season finale begins with “Perverse Instantiation — Part One,” which sees Clarke (Eliza Taylor) getting a very surprising impetus to maintain hope. Alie (guest star Erica Cerra) also is optimistic, but for a much different reason. Series regulars also include Paige Turco, Isaiah Washington, Henry Ian Cusick, Bob Morley, Marie Avgeropoulos, Lindsey Morgan, Devon Bostick and Richard Harmon.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD American Grit The challenges are many for the contestants in the new episode “Double Time.” They have to build a shelter for themselves, then put water through a purification process, and finally make a fire. As usual, the team that ends up with the bottom ranking will be subjected to “The Circus.”

John Cena is the host, and the members of the military-veteran “cadre” include Noah Galloway and Nick “The Reaper” Irving.

8:01 p.m. on ^ WBBM Mom The new episode “Mahjong Sally and the Ecstasy” is sort of this show’s version of “Rashomon,” as different versions of Violet (Sadie Calvano) and Gregory’s split leave Christy and Bonnie (Anna Faris, Allison Janney) debating whose to buy. A big factor is that Gregory’s take is conveyed by his mother (returning guest star Linda Lavin). Mimi Kennedy and Jaime Pressly also star.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Beyond the Tank Once you’ve landed an investment from one or more of “Shark Tank’s” Sharks, you’d better be ready to answer tough questions — as the California developer of a mobile-phone-based breathalyzer learns firsthand in this new episode. Kevin O’Leary is particularly concerned why the product’s impact isn’t greater. Daymond John checks on the managerial skills of the New York-based operators of a sock business.

Barbara Corcoran and Robert Herjavec also appear.

Conflicts expectedly arise during the countdown to the nuptials.

The ensemble cast includes Perry-film veterans Angela Bassett and Loretta Devine, plus Laz Alonso, Paula Patton, Meagan Good, Mike Epps and Julie Bowen (“Modern Family”).

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 Back-to-back episodes mark the end of the show’s sixth season. “Pa’a ka ’ipuka i ka ’upena nananana” (Hawaiian for “The Entrance is Stopped with a Spider’s Web”) traps the team inside an unstable building where assassins pursue the wounded Gabriel (Christopher Sean).

Then, in “O ke ali’I wale no ka’u makemake” (Hawaiian for “My Desire Is Only For The Chief”), McGarrett and Danny (Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan) are endangered while tracking a meth influx.

8:30 p.m. on ^ WBBM 2 Broke Girls Often, it’s Han (Matthew Moy) who comes to the rescue of Max and Caroline (Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs), but it may be the other way around as the comedy ends its fifth season with “And the Big Gamble.” He’s gotten in over his head from gambling on women’s tennis matches, and if he can’t pay the sizable debt he owes, the result likely won’t be pretty. Garrett Morris, Jennifer Coolidge and Jonathan Kite also star.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Rush Hour Just when they think they’ve solved a case by stopping an armored-car heist, Carter and Lee (Justin Hires, Jon Foo) learn that was the tip of the iceberg in the new episode “Badass Cop.” That robbery may have been practice for a much bigger one, and the detectives have different opinions on which suspects they should pursue. Veteran character actor James Hong, wellknown for the “Chinese Restaurant” episode of “Seinfeld,” is among the guest stars.

9 p.m. on _ WLS The Catch Nia Vardalos (“My Big Fat Greek Wedding”) guest stars in the new episode “The Package,” playing an FBI prisoner who’s the object of a breakout attempt involving Ben (Peter Krause).

Alice (Mireille Enos) is surprised by what she learns about Sophie (Elvy Yost) in the course of trying to help one of the latter’s friends break a contract. Alimi Ballard, Jacky Ido, Rose Rollins, Jay Hayden and Sonya Walger also star.

9:01 p.m. on % WMAQ Game of Silence Just when he thought he knew what the revenge scheme was all about, Jackson (David Lyons) believes bigger forces are at play in the new episode “Into the Black.” He sees Diana Stockman (guest star Sharon Lawrence) as a key to the troubles, but she complicates matters by stoking Marina’s (Claire van der Boom) worries about Jackson and Jesse (Bre Blair). Shawn (Larenz Tate) relies on his instincts in trying to make the overall situation come out even.

1 p.m. on @ WFLD NASCAR Racing The Monster Mile of Dover International Speedway is the scene as drivers including Daniel Suarez, Justin Allgaier and Ty Dillon get set to do battle in the Xfinity Series’ spring race on the Delaware oval. Chris Buescher employed a shrewd fuel strategy in last year’s race, drafting with teammate Darrell Wallace Jr. over the last 98 laps and passing him late to take his second win of 2015.

4 p.m. on _ WLS IndyCar Racing The Indianapolis 500 is more than two weeks away but IndyCar fans will get a different look at Indianapolis Motor Speedway today with the Grand Prix of Indianapolis. Here, drivers will negotiate the 2.439-mile road course that features a number of 90-degree turns, on which Will Power rode to victory last year by 1.5 seconds over Graham Rahal. Soon enough they’ll be going much faster on the big track.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Movie: The Blind Side A true story that had a major box-office impact, this 2009 drama from director-screenwriter John Lee Hancock (“The Rookie”) was an Academy Award contender for best picture, and it brought Sandra Bullock an Oscar for best actress.

10:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life The post-collegiate world isn’t what the title character (Jack Cutmore-Scott, “Kingsman: The Secret Service”) anticipated in the series pilot, “How to Survive Your Loveable Jackass.” Still seeking the perfect job for himself, he’s interested in his neighbor (Meaghan Rath) and often sought out by his family-man brother (Justin Bartha). Cooper’s roommates (Charlie Saxton, James Earl) also inspire him to offer life lessons from his own perspective.

SUNDAY

6 p.m. on @ WFLD Bordertown It’s usually not enough to purchase an item if accessories also are available, as Janice (voice of Alex Borstein) learns when she spends a sizable amount on an American Gal doll, then buys numerous extras for it in the new episode “American Doll.” To cover the expenses, she takes a job as Ernesto’s (voice of Nicholas Gonzalez) housekeeper, but Bud (voice of Hank Azaria) plots against her.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Bob’s Burgers Entering a new chapter often means giving up an old one, as Tina (voice of Dan Mintz) learns when she gets to go to horse camp at last in the new episode “The Horse Rider-er.” Dealing with actual animals prompts her to let go of the one she’s long had in her mind, Jericho (voice of Paul Rudd). As Tina has that adventure, Linda (voice of John Roberts) tries to keep Gene and Louise (voices of Eugene Mirman and Kristen Schaal) from feeling left out.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Undercover Boss The unscripted series’ seventh season resumes with the new episode “Hamburger Mary’s,” about a restaurant franchise that’s very conscious of an LGBT clientele. Twin brothers Ashley and Brandon Wright operate the company, and their sharing of the duties makes it time-efficient for both to go incognito and observe their employees at work. These jobs are out of the ordinary for this program, since they involve performing drag shows while customers dine.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The Family Claire (Joan Allen) reacts in a very telling way upon seeing Ben aka Adam’s (Liam James) former dwelling firsthand in the drama’s season finale, “What Took So Long.” Ben himself is devastated by a phone call.
