In a blink, kids grow up and move on An era is ending soon.

More than one, actually.

In less than a week, Shabbona Middle School will hold its eighth-grade graduation ceremony. With District 54 moving all of its students into White Oak next year, it appears to be the last graduation Shabbona will see.

It’s kind of sad, but it’s a fact of life.

Other than Morris Community High School, none of the schools I attended as a youngster are still being used as schools. I went to kindergarten at Franklin School.

The building is still there, but now it holds offices. For first through fifth grade, I went to Garfield School. There’s nothing there now but a parking lot for the hospital.

Even if I had gone to Center School, that was where the new Morris Municipal Services Facility now stands.

And now, Shabbona goes by the wayside. But schools are just buildings. What I recall most are the teachers that I had and who influenced me and my friends, and memories I made back then.

The other era that’s ending is going to be harder to deal with.

VIEWS Rob Oesterle My daughter is part of that final graduating class, meaning that in a few short months, she officially will be a high-schooler.

It seems like just yesterday that I put her on the bus for the first time for preschool. She was nervous, but excited. I was worried she would not want to get on the bus or cry, but she just looked out the window, waved and turned to talk to the child sitting next to her.

A couple of years later, it was the same thing, this time sending her to kindergarten at White Oak, which is a huge building compared with where she had preschool.

Again, it seemed I was more worried than she was, and something told me this is a theme that’s going to be repeated throughout her life. Any concern or worry she might have is going to be felt at least

LOOKING UP

tenfold by her dad.

I can’t help but wonder: If the nine years from kindergarten through eighthgrade graduation went by so quickly, how fast will the four years of high school go?

Even though days or weeks that are rough seem to last forever, in a blink of an eye they are gone. Suddenly, the little person who needed a hand held while crossing the street is bringing home a graduation gown.

Somehow, while living under the same roof, she went and grew up. Now she’s going to keep on doing it. Just the other day, she told me how she can’t wait to drive. I was about to respond that it’s quite a while until that happens, but it’s really only a couple of years away. I was worried enough when she learned to ride a bike without training wheels and was able to leave the neighborhood. Again, no worries for her, big worries for me.

And I wouldn’t change a thing.

Diamond resident tells how he started using heroin at just 19 years old

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com DIAMOND – Michael Milne of Diamond was just 19 when he started using heroin.

He started using marijuana at age 14, cocaine by the time he was 17 and graduated to heroin a few years later.

“A friend brought it over and I tried it,” Milne said. “It was what I was looking for.”

Milne said there are many misconceptions about heroin in the area.

Many don’t believe it is a problem in Grundy County, and many believe death is the only outcome.

But it isn’t the only path.

Many, like Milne, are living a life of sobriety and getting on with their lives.

Milne was four years, two months, and six days sober on May 13 when he was interviewed.

He knows because an app on his phone keeps count for him, reminding him every time he picks up the phone of how far he has come.

Addicts come from all age groups

Drug dealers don’t require an ID proving what age the user is to purchase an illegal substance.

In Grundy County, the number of Class 4 felony drug possession cases for 2014-2015 was 133, Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said.

Of those cases, 52 suspects were between the ages of 18 and 24; 55 were between the ages of 25 and 39; and 26 were older than 40.

“It’s a nationwide problem. It’s not unique to Grundy County,” Helland said. “People of all ages, from every socioeconomic class, are represented.”

Helland said the numbers were surprising to him.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Michael Milne of Diamond likes to wear his thoughts on heroin on his hooded sweatshirts. He wants addicts to know there is a reason to get clean and keep living.

“There is a 14-year span in the second age bracket that represents 41 percent, versus a six-year span representing 39 percent,” Helland said.

“Substance abusers start at an early age. Childhood is a factor when looking at risk factors.”

Those numbers aren’t surprising to Milne, however.

At support groups he has attended, he said it’s about a 50-50 split between

the younger 20- to 30-year-olds and those who are 40 to 60.

“There are all ages at support groups,” he said. “I think the younger ones start trying to fit in, while older ones often move to heroin from prescription drugs.”

He said when he was actively using, he was typically with people the same age as himself or older, but there were always a fewer younger

addicts around.

Lifelong challenge

This isn’t the first time Milne has been sober, though. He was off drugs once before for four years before he relapsed.

And then, in July 2010, Milne overdosed.

Railroad to be topic at Grundy Ag breakfast

Illinois Extension office to host drone farming presentation

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Drones continue to gain popularity in both the hobby and professional worlds.

Consider the ancient practice of farming as the latest industry to benefit from drone use.

The University of Illinois Extension Grundy County Office is hosting, from 9 a.m. to noon May 27, a presentation on drones for precision technology farming. Those interested can attend for free at the Russ Higgins Farm, 3435 Higgins Road in Morris.

Drones can help field crop farmers in many different ways, the Extension office’s local foods and small farms educator, James Theuri said.

“Drones help farmers quickly and thoroughly scout fields for insects and disease,” Theuri said. “They can then do spot spraying to ensure they don’t waste chemicals.”

Furthermore, a field crop farmer can pick out – with the help of a camera-equipped drone – an area that either is flooding, has storm damage or is experiencing tile drainage issues. On larger properties, some areas can be difficult to reach.

“With a drone, you can avoid driving a truck around a 500-acre property looking for these problems,” Theuri said.

For farmers of grazing animals, drones equipped with fever temperature detectors can assist in check-ups on animal health, Theuri said. Farm-

ers can also look to the footage for yellowing crops that may indicate a flooding or insect-related issue.

One might assume, with all these investigative possibilities, that drones are expensive. In most cases, that assumption is correct. But, as Theuri explained, drones are much like cars or

any other piece of machinery – you get what you pay for.

Generally, the more capabilities a drone has, the more it will cost. Drones range from the hundreds to upward of $10,000. Farmers can also contract for drone services with a company.

“It depends on brand name, the amount of functions, camera capabilities, flight range and other factors,” Theuri said.

Presenters include extension educators Dennis Bowman and Russ Higgins in the first hour followed by a drone operation demonstration and discussion time. If there’s inclement weather, a large barn will be used for the morning’s events. The presentation is free, but people are encouraged to register because space is limited.

Tasha Bunting to leave Grundy County Farm Bureau

MORRIS – Tasha Bunting has spent the past 12 years championing Grundy County farmers in her role as Grundy County Farm Bureau manager, a role she is leaving in June.

Bunting will be joining the Illinois Farm Bureau in Bloomington as the assistant director of commodities and livestock programs.

As a Livingston County farmer, Bunting said she will still be active in local agriculture.

Victoria Wax has been named the new Grundy County Farm Bureau manager, effective July 1. Wax is from Douglas County and is a 2013 graduate of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she received a degree from the crop sciences department, according to a news release.

Wax will be responsible for all office management, as well as programs and activities conducted by the Grundy County Farm Bureau. Steve Kodat, board president of the Grundy County Farm Bureau, said the bureau is excited to have Wax begin and looking forward to seeing where she takes the programs. Wax will work with Bunting until she leaves for her new job next month.

IRS alerts of ongoing phone-based tax scams

Shaw Media Correspondent

The Internal Revenue Service is again warning Americans of phone-based scammers who solicit and, in some cases, threaten taxpayers for their money.

Phone scam artists are known to use scare tactics with threats of police arrest, deportation, license revocation and more, to seemingly force taxpayers into sending them money. These scams often increase in frequency in the months surrounding tax day.

Anyone who does owe money to the IRS will be notified through the mail. According to an IRS news release, the IRS will never call to demand immediate payment, demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe, or require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card.

It will also not ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone or threaten to bring in local police or other law enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

Victims of IRS scams should file a police report with a local law enforcement agency.

Call the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office at 815-942-0336. Report the call to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration: call 1-800-366-4484 or visit tigta.gov.

Resident displaced

by Channahon house fire

MORRIS – The unseasonably cold weather Saturday didn’t keep people away from 3 French Hens Country Market along the I&M Canal in Morris.

They came in droves to hunt down treasures – everything from herb-infused oils to vintage clothing to hand-painted wall hangings and repurposed furniture could be found.

Many shoppers and sellers were bundled up with jackets and scarves, some even wearing boots and hats.

If they forgot to bring along gloves, those could be found at the market.

Julie Leiter, who works for Whimsy and 3 French Hens, said her team ran back to the shop before the market even opened and pulled gloves and hats out of basement storage to add to their goods.

“We have been selling them like hotcakes,” Leiter said.

Marggie Paris and Hattie Smith came in from Indiana; this is the second year of their coming for the monthly markets.

“I like to come and see what’s here to pick up gifts,” Paris said. “They always have really nice plants and the corn dogs from Pam’s [Famous Corn Dogs] alone are worth the trip.”

Smith, who owns an interior design shop and a vintage market in Michigan, came to find special items to re-

sell or use for her design clients. By 11 a.m., she and Paris already had things crammed into their wagon.

“We’re just getting started,” Smith laughed. “I am finding great things; I love it.”

Dave Smith and his wife, Jayne Smith, who own Dave and Jayne’s Furniture Fix in Wilmington, brought many pieces made from combined repurposed items. One bench was fashioned from a twin headboard, an old coffee table and drawers from a treadle pedal sewing machine. They’ve been selling their wares at 3 French Hens for years and consider themselves regulars, Dave Smith said. The market is known all over the Midwest and was named one of the top 10 markets by “Country Living” magazine, he said.

He was confident there would be a lot of customers despite the gloomy weather.

“Because we have been here for so many years, we knew people would come out,” he said.

Market organizers Traci Tessone and Monica Vogel weren’t concerned either, Tessone said. They originally expected to have 140 vendors and, even though six dropped out because of the weather, they ended up with 150.

“The customers are still coming out,” Tessone said. “I had tons of customers who said how fantastic it is, there’s such a variety of vendors and they are so happy with it.”

CHANNAHON – There were no injuries as a result of a house fire the night of May 10 in Channahon, although one resident was displaced. The Channahon Fire Protection District was dispatched at 10:03 p.m. to the 24000 block of South Cardinal Road for reports of smoke coming from the garage of a single-story ranch house. When firefighters arrived, there was visible smoke coming from the residence.

According to a news release from the district, firefighters brought the fire under control within 20 minutes of leaving the fire station. The sole occupant in the house was alerted to the fire by smoke detectors and escaped unharmed. The initial investigation showed the fire started in the garage and spread into the attic. Agencies from Minooka, Troy, Elwood, Wilmington, Morris, Plainfield and Lockport assisted at the scene.

Agencies providing station coverage included Braidwood and Homer Township. ComEd and Nicor also were on scene, and Channahon police assisted with site control and access throughout the incident. Firefighters were on scene until 12:37 a.m. May 11.

Minooka bus drivers, aides vote for strike authorization

MINOOKA – Bus drivers and aides for Minooka School Districts 111 and 201 have voted to approve strike authorization amid contract negotiations – but not to strike.

Drivers and aides are in the middle of negotiating a contract with the school districts and have given Tom Flynn, Teamsters Local 179 president, the right for a strike if it is needed, Flynn said Thursday.

Teamsters Local 179 is helping the drivers and aides with the negotiation of a contract, he said. The vote for strike authorization took place because they feel there is no respect in the workplace and they are looking for protection, he said. Flynn said negotiations with District 201 and 111 will continue and while he doesn’t want a strike, he said Districts 201 and 111 need to get serious about negotiations. A message sent to District 201 Superintendent Kris Monn was not immediately returned last week. District 111 Superintendent James Blanche was not immediately available.

According to Teamsters Local 179 website about the strike authorization, Bob Conners, organizing director, stated it was time for the districts “to get serious about negotiations and stop the surface bargaining.”

Sieczynski gets OK to open tattoo, body piercing shop

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After a lengthy battle to open a tattoo and body piercing establishment in Morris, Erik Sieczynski hopes to be open in less than a month.

In a 7-0 vote, with Sid Nelson absent, the City of Morris on Monday approved a conditional use permit for the business to open at 1489 Division St. in Morris, in the former Sprint Store near the intersection of Routes 6 and 47.

“Thank you all. I needed this really badly,” Sieczynski said during public comment after the vote.

Sieczynski approached the city last summer about obtaining a conditional use permit for a tattoo and body piercing establishment at 1368 Liberty St. – the former Liberty Medical Center – in what is designated as a B-3 commercial zoning district.

At the time, he said he knew that opening the business would be a challenge, but didn’t think it was impossible.

Even though the Morris Planning Commission recommended that the council approve the application, the council voted Oct. 19 to table the request.

During the Oct. 19 meeting, several nearby property owners, or their legal representatives, spoke out

“Thank you all. I needed this really badly.”

Erik Sieczynski

Morris business owner

against having a tattoo parlor located at the Liberty Street address, citing a threat to property values, and not being a suitable zoning area, or both.

In January, the council denied the permit, and his dream was put on hold.

Sieczynski said he put a lot of money into preparing all the necessary documents and work needed to get the business running – money lost with the council’s first denial of his request as the upstairs of the rented business sits empty. His wife, Stacy Sieczynski, owner of Nails & Tails Pet Grooming, has been operating out of the basement.

He was joined at the meeting by future employee Mark Paolello and several friends who were there to support him.

However, the additional support did not appear to be necessary to help influence a vote for approval, because the vote passed without comment from the aldermen.

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Efforts to prepare White Oak Elementary School for the upcoming consolidation with Shabbona Middle School took center stage Monday at the Morris Elementary School District 54 Board of Education meeting.

The board approved to sell, then adopted the resolution to call a public hearing concerning the sale of $700,000 in general obligation school bonds “for the purpose of altering, repairing, and equipping the White Oak Elementary School building,” Interim Superintendent Al Gegenheimer said.

“We are going to ask for what we need, which should be no more than

$700,000 and actually could be less. This will not affect the taxpayer. We plan to pay $120,000 off per year using TIF [tax increment financing] money we received from the city of Morris, which can be used for paying off debt of capital expenses,” Gegenheimer said.

The first major project for White Oak would be to seal the roof in order to prolong the life and avoid a costly expense of an entire new roof in six to 10 years.

“If we wait until the roof needs replaced, it will cost the district around $2 million,” Gegenheimer said. “While the roof is intact, we want to put a rubberized product over the existing roof, which will cost $464,00 with a $56,000 contingency built in, so approximately a $400,000 project, which will protect the

roof and extend the warranty 15 to 20 years.”

The second major project due to the merge of White Oak and Shabbona schools will be to increase the size of the existing parking lot to accommodate parents, staff and the community who use the school with a $371,000 price tag, and a $22,000 contingency, so approximately $350,000, Gegenheimer said.

The public hearing to approve the sale of the bonds to pay for the updates is scheduled for the regular board meeting in June, held in the District 54 board room.

Also at Monday’s meeting: During the 2015-16 school year, teachers in kindergarten through fifth grades were a part of a pilot program to determine

which new English Language Arts program would best fit the students.

District Principal Christopher Maier approached the board Monday with the recommendation to approve the purchase of “Wonders” by McGraw-Hill Education ELA package. The use of “Wonders” will allow all teachers to be on the same phonics and handwriting curriculum, as well as make it easier for teachers and interventionists to teach cohesively.

Maier said he worked with different vendors in order to come to a comfortable price, and in the end received $277,598 total value of materials for $114,110, plus $5,000 shipping costs. Maier said the district will use Title I funds to cover costs for the six-year license.

MORRIS – When motor oil is disposed of on the ground, it enters the Earth and can make its way into drinking water.

That is the reason the Grundy County Soil and Water Conservation District annually holds a used oil drive. From 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, residents are invited to gather up old oil from their garages and sheds and

stop by the used oil drive at the Grundy County SWCD Office, 3605 N. Route 47 in Morris.

“It’s really easy,” SWCD administrative coordinator Brooke Baker said.

“You bring the oil and it is emptied into containers. You can get in and out in about five minutes.”

Most participants are local homeowners, but occasionally a farmer will stop by with a large drum of used oil, Baker said. The company that runs the oil drive then takes the oil and recycles

Hestor Bury (center), director of corporate and foundation giving at Northern Illinois Food Bank, fields comments and questions from the crowd during an “On The Table” event Tuesday at St. John Lutheran Church in Joliet.

Reaching home-bound senior citizens, establishing reliable public transportation in rural, underserved areas, as well as providing resources to better a person’s life all remain key challenges, participants said.

Supporting families in all aspects of their lives also is critical, Julianne Buck said during the roundtable discussion.

Buck is the executive director of the Community Foundation of Grundy County.

“How do we engage [users] with best practices of life? We know how to pay the bills, how to save, to send our kids off the school, but life gets overwhelming some-

times and it’s hard,” Buck said.

Eric Fisher, executive director of We Care of Grundy County in Morris, said the organization is expanding its services by providing case management care. That way, food pantry users can get help outside of food security needs, and receive coordinated care in all aspects of life, he said.

“Ten percent of Grundy County residents are uninsured, yet only [five people] make it to the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic once a month. There’s some disconnect there,” Fisher said.

JOLIET – Connecting needy families to food pantries in the area is one of the many challenges faced by nonprofits serving Will and Grundy counties.

The Northern Illinois Food Bank – which provided nearly 8.9 million meals to families in Will and Grundy counties in fiscal 2015 – hosted a roundtable discussion last week at St. John Lutheran Church in Joliet in partnership with The Chicago Community Trust and the Private Bank.

NIFB network members participated in the “On The Table” discussion May 10 to explore how agencies can work together to solve hunger. Multiple similar gatherings took place Tuesday in the Chicago region with the purpose of connecting people of diverse backgrounds and engage in meaningful discussion about communities.

Although about 71,500 unique people visit NIFB pantries in Will, Grundy, Kendall and Kankakee counties every week, about 1 in 5 children remains at risk of hunger in northern Illinois, according to the organization. Some in attendance at the May 10 event suggested further collaborating with local churches and other community organizations to reach new clients in need.

also featured Bobby Sanchez, 33, of Joliet, a food pantry client.

Sanchez, who calls himself “a Chicago transplant,” is a father of three and said he moved to Joliet three years ago.

“Immediately after coming to Joliet, I got a good job. I was paying all the bills.

We had extras and life was good, but then about a year later, things took a turn for the worst and I was [let go] from my position,” Sanchez said.

That’s when he turned to a local food pantry for help, he said. Sanchez said he grew up in a low-income household, noting how he spent many mornings as a child with his father at food pantries.

“Boy, have things changed over the last 20 years. From getting silver cans of pork and chicken and boxes of corn, flakes … to now, you actually come in, they give you a cart, and you get to feel like a man, or woman, and get to shop and grab things for your family that you may not have been able to get if this place wasn’t here.”

Maeven Sipes, with the Northern Illinois Food Bank, said more youth organizations and nonprofit in Will County need to sign up for the NIFB’s federally sponsored summer food program – designed to supplement meals for schoolchildren who otherwise would qualify for free-and-reduced lunches during the academic school year.

Grundy County Jail to get security upgrade

Board approves $116,000 for improved tech

MORRIS – The Grundy County Jail will get a new security system, a move prompted after the current system went down for 10 hours in December.

Sheriff Kevin Callahan said in January that the outage highlighted a need to upgrade a system that is more than 15 years old.

At the May 10 Grundy County board meeting, a bid of $116,000 by Security Automation Systems Inc. of Indianapolis, was approved, 15-0, with board members Vicki Geiger and Mike Onorato absent.

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

The security system also is used to open cell doors from a touch-screen

computer in the control room.

The current system has been out of production since 2013, making parts harder to find.

“This is the product of an outage that happened on Christmas Eve,” County Administrator Doug Pryor said. “Out of that we learned two important things. One is that older parts are no longer readily available for the security system we have at the jail. Two, when the security system is down, we’re left with manually opening doors in a procedure that is exceptionally time intensive.”

Callahan said that to his knowledge, the system had not gone down before the December event.

Callahan and Pryor both acknowledged that when the system is down, it puts the staff and inmates at risk and could open the county to liability.

The project must be completed no later than Nov. 1.

Student earns top GAVC auto tech award

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Cars are in Brian Quinn’s blood.

His uncles all work as mechanics, and he and one of his uncles have been restoring a 1956 Oldsmobile Starfire for as long as he can remember.

Quinn, who will graduate May 22 from Minooka Community High School, has channeled that love of auto mechanics into his work at Grundy Area Vocational Center, where he recently was awarded the top honor in his class: a $1,300 set of tools and toolbox donated from Eric Berry, the owner of NAPA of Morris and Channahon.

Quinn plans to further his automotive career at Joliet Junior College, then transfer to Southern Illinois University to study in their automotive program. He also uses his talents at a part-time job at Thomas Nissan in Joliet.

“I’ve always liked working on cars,” Quinn said. “A lot of my family are mechanics and I just have always liked it. I would like to get into the corporate side of it, though.”

That’s where the studying at SIU

And he has done motive technology teacher Andy Ka-

cena said.

“This award was given based on attendance, maturity, passion for auto mechanics, talent and hard work,” he said. “Brian has all of those. He’s a great helper and leader in the classroom. If anyone needs help, he’s right there to help if they want it.”

At the same time, though, he’s not one to stick his nose in where it’s not wanted.

“Some of the guys want to figure things out themselves,” Quinn said.

“Even if I see them doing something wrong, unless they ask, I generally let them go. You have to let them figure some things out for themselves.”

Quinn said his favorite part of working on cars is the electrical system and making the car perform better. He also is the recipient of a $1,000 Morris Cruise Night scholarship and finished sixth at the state skills competition.

“First, he had to pass a written exam to get to state, then there were 20 hands-on stations, like measuring parts, pulling spark plugs, stuff like that,” Kacena said. “So, to pass a written test and finish so high in the skills is very good. It shows that Brian is very well-rounded.”

MORRIS – Morris Community High School senior Alan Alvarez doesn’t think his school attendance is a big deal. He just gets up and goes, just like he has every day for the past 13 years.

As he completes his senior year, Alvarez was honored for perfect attendance in high school. He won the same award at Shabbona Middle School and White Oak Elementary School.

“I’ve just never been Alan sick enough to stay Alvarez home,” he said. “I have allergies, but my parents just put packs of tissues in my backpack and sent me to school.”

Morris High School Principal Kelly Hussey said perfect attendance for 13 years is pretty tough to get, but the school sees about two students a decade who achieve it.

“I think it’s partially good genes,” Hussey said. “It’s also a skill to get up and get going even when you don’t

feel like it.”

Alvarez said he didn’t intentionally set out to get perfect attendance. It was more important to his parents.

“At first it was my parents,” he said. “Then, I felt if I stayed home I would be bored. If I stayed home, I couldn’t go outside. When I was younger, I was outside a lot.”

He said his peers and friends’ response has been one of surprise, and they recommended he take a day off.

He had earned it, but he won’t take one.

Alvarez said he will use the honor to his advantage as he seeks a job.

“I feel like if I go to a job interview, it would help me,” he said. “Saying I had perfect attendance would spark an interest.”

Hussey said the perfect attendance would help not only as he looks for a career, but also as he attends college.

“I think he already knows he can accomplish a lot more being present,” Hussey said.

Alvarez will spend his last day as a student at Morris Community High School on Friday as he walks across the stage and gets his diploma – something he is sure not to miss.

Cop on Rooftop Special Olympics returns Friday If you go

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Don’t be alarmed if you see Morris police standing on the roof of Dunkin’ Donuts at 197 E. Route 6 on Friday morning.

It’s just a sign the Dunkin’ Donuts Cop on Rooftop fundraiser for Illinois Special Olympics has returned to Morris for its fifth year.

Police offficers also will be at Dunkin’ Donuts locations in other towns in the county.

Patrolman Derek Zumbahlen, who organizes the event on behalf of the Morris Police Department, said the event grows each year through word-of-mouth because it’s for a charity almost everyone is willing to support.

Donations increase the amount of opportunities for athletes with disabilities in many sports.

“Most people who donate make it a point to stop by Dunkin’ Donuts that morning,” Zumbahlen said.

“And if customers don’t know about it, we explain what we’re doing. Nine out of 10 times they will donate.”

The Morris Police Department uses various events – such as Cop on Rooftop, The Faculty vs. The Fuzz basketball game and Run the Beat

5K – to raise money for Special Olympics, in collaboration with Special Connections of Grundy County.

What makes Cop on Rooftop work may have something to do with the old cliché of cops making frequent stops for coffee and doughnuts, Zumbahlen said.

“We always get that from people, which is fun,” he said. “But it’s a great concept and it’s unbelievable the amount of money and awareness that is raised statewide.”

The event has been a huge success since starting 15 years ago, to the tune of $2.3 million raised, according to www.soill.org. In 2015, 195 Illinois locations participated and raised more than $542,000.

Everyone is encouraged to donate while picking up breakfast at Dunkin’ Donuts.

making a difference,” Zumbahlen said. “I’ve seen firsthand at the Special Olympics in Bloomington the impact and opportunities it provides for the athletes. It’s very humbling.”

Sometime in early June, the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Illinois will pass through Morris.

The relay-styled event passes the “Flame of Hope” from agency to agency until reaching its final destination in Bloomington for the 2016 Illinois Special Olympics, scheduled June 10 through 12.

The Torch Run, which began in 1986, is the largest fundraising vehicle for Special Olympics Illinois and serves as a symbol of the games themselves.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Public Notice Proposed Renewal of the Clean Air Act Permit Program Permit Morris Cogeneration, LLC in Morris Morris Cogeneration, LLC has requested that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) renew the Clean Air Act Permit Program (CAAPP) permit regulating air emissions from its facility located at 8805 North Tabler Road in Morris. The facility utilizes three natural gas-fired turbines, three heat recovery steam generators and two boilers to generate steam and electricity. Based on its review of the application, the Illinois EPA has made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review.

The Illinois EPA is accepting comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight June 18, 2016. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Jillian Hawkins, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, 1021 N. Grand Ave. East PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9506, phone 217/524-0922, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, jillian. hawkins@illinois.gov.

The repositories for the draft permit documents are at the Illinois EPA’s offices at 9511 West Harrison in Des Plaines, 847/294-4000 and 1021 North Grand Avenue East in Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you).

Copies of the draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa. gov/caa-permitting/region-5-electronic-permits. Copies of the documents will be made available upon request.

The CAAPP is Illinois’ operating permit program for major sources of emissions, as required

by Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act). The conditions of CAAPP permits are enforceable by the public, as well as by the USEPA and Illinois EPA. In addition to implementing Title V of the Act, CAAPP permits may contain “Title I Conditions,” i.e., conditions established under the permit programs for new and modified emission units, pursuant to Title I of the Act. The permit contains T1 conditions in sections 3.3, 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3.2 and 4.4.2 that were established in previously issued permits. The permit contains no T1 conditions that are being newly established or revised by this application.

The beginning of this public comment period also serves as the beginning date of the USEPA 45 day review period, provided the USEPA does not seek a separate proposed period. SM-CL0341082

Children who do not live near their elderly parents may find it difficult to manage senior in-home care for them from afar. Sometimes children opt to move the seniors from their familiar surroundings to live nearer to their own homes. Although relocating can provide the children with better opportunities for overseeing home healthcare needs, it comes with certain risks. Seniors often respond to dramatic changes in surroundings by becoming anxious or depressed. These feelings can result in unhealthy changes in blood pressure or blood sugar levels as a result of increased stress. Diabetes and pain management can become more difficult. Before uprooting parents, children may want to discuss alternative options with caregiving agencies and their senior parents.

MORRIS – Bright, vibrant colors covered canvases on display last week at Whimsy Fancy Goods and Fine Events, in stark contrast to the otherwise soft palette that typically surrounds the white faux fireplace at the back of the store.

Bright is how artist Noemi Sanchez sees her world, and how she expresses herself using a variety of media.

“I feel like my work expresses me in some type of way,” Sanchez said. “The bright colors are me.”

Sanchez, 16, of Morris, started attending Premier Academy in January and fell quickly in line with other students who are learning from volunteer art teacher Amanda Tarascio.

“This is something they have the option to do,” Tarascio said. “It helps build confidence.”

The art show is a chance to show off both the art and the confidence as visitors made their way through the display of seven artists the night of May 12.

Sanchez had three works on display: a chalk and pastel piece titled “Watching the Sunset,” “Lovely Lotus,” a Sharpie-colored design, and an acrylic piece using the colors of the rainbow to

Holistic Pet Festival to feature IMPROVE YOUR ODDS IN 2016! interactive environments Choose RE/MAX

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Fresh off receiving an award in March at the Global Pet Expo for “Best Customer Service,” Blackbird’s Bowl of Morris is preparing for its annual Holistic Pet Festival.

The outdoor event is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Canal Port Park in Morris along the I&M Canal. New to the festival this year is A Sound Beginning Program dog training and several roundtable discussions, in addition to six rescue organizations and an assortment of natural pet foods, treats and toys.

Roundtable discussions will feature Integrative Pet Care on pet rehabilitation methods; Kate Brown Healing Essentials of Utica on the art of healing touch for animals; Sara Martinez on detoxing your home for you and your pet; and Tammi Janel on natural flea and tick control.

“The goal is to have an interactive dialogue going on throughout the festival,” Janel said. “It’s going to be a very focused conversation on one specific thing at each roundtable.”

Janel, owner of Blackbird’s Bowl Natural Pet Foods & More, said the discussions are centered on common topics that

A Sound Beginning Program specializes in training aimed at eliminating stress that usually occurs during transitional periods, such as bringing a new rescued pet home, or teaching an old dog new tricks. Meanwhile, rescue and shelter organizations will share information about their available pets, fostering and volunteering. Proceeds from a 50-50 raffle and baskets on display at Blackbird’s Bowl, 221 Liberty St., go to a randomly chosen rescue or shelter the day of.

“One of the hallmarks of the Holistic Pet Festival is to bring awareness to our local rescues and shelters, and the wonderful pets just waiting to be adopted,” Janel said.

She said the event is family-friendly with face-painting, balloons, grilling and an award-winning acoustic guitarist, who will be playing dog-oriented tunes.

National numbers

According to National Institute on Drug Abuse, in 2011 about 4.2 million Americans age 12 or older had used heroin at least once.

Of that number, about 23 percent become dependent on the drug.

There were just over 2.8 million new users of illegal drugs, including marijuana, in 2013, or about 7,800 new users per day. More than half of those, 54.1 percent, were under the age of 18.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2000, the highest rate of drug overdoses involving heroin were seen in black Americans age 45 to 64.

In 2013, the highest rate was white Americans aged 18 to 44.

The use among Americans ages 18 to 25 increased 109 percent from 2002 to 2004 and 2011 to 2013.

For Americans 26 and older, it increased 58 percent.

Helland said that most think incarceration should be a good enough deterrent to help people stay clean, but that isn’t the case.

“In 12 years of prosecution I’ve learned incarceration of offenders is not necessarily the solution,” he said.

“Unless mental health and substance abuse is addressed, taking away their freedom isn’t a deterrent. If you just nail them and jail them, they will reoffend.”

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

He said he realized at that point that he didn’t want to die. But, even after he overdosed, he continued to use drugs until he hit his rock bottom and asked for help.

“The million dollar-question people ask is, ‘If people know that using drugs has consequences, why do they start?’ ” Helland said. “Addiction is a disease, and a lifelong challenge. They can have all the services available to them, but unless they are willing, it doesn’t work.”

He said no one can force people to make the changes they need to make to stay clean and sober.

“Nothing makes them feel better than drugs,” Helland said. “That’s what they tell us in drug court.”

Michael Milne of Diamond wears his sentiments about heroin for all to see.

Many of the lower-level drug offenders in Grundy County are eligible for drug court, where their addictions are addressed by a team of professionals and law enforcement officers.

“Success is measured on an individual basis,” Helland said. “Sometimes a success may be no offense while in the program, for others it’s getting their GED, housing or a driver’s license.”

Here are answers to frequently asked questions provided by these local businesses.

I’ve heard of a Buyers’ Market and a Sellers’ Market.

What are they and which one are we in now?

A sellers’ market is when there are more buyers than there are homes on the market. During a sellers’ market, there are often multiple offers on properties and properties sell much faster. This results in increasing homes prices which is good for sellers. In a buyers’ market there are more homes on the market than there are buyers for those homes. In a buyers’ market, sellers compete against one another for the few buyers that exist. Often times sellers will lower their price to compete with all the competition. This results in declining home values which is good for buyers.

Last month there was a 3.1 month supply of homes on the market in our local area. This is down from a 4.8 month supply in March of 2015 and down from a 7.2 month supply in March of 2014. We have moved from a buyers’ market two years ago to a very strong sellers’ market today! What does this mean? Houses will sell more quickly and often with multiple offers on them. So when you see the home that you like, don’t hesitate to make an offer. Otherwise another buyer may have the home under contract before you act.

Q: I have several floaters in one of my eyes and heard that you can get laser surgery to remove them. Is this true?

A: I periodically have patients that bring up the subject.

Jeffrey J. Blanco, O.D.

In my opinion, based on speaking with several well respected retinal specialists, it is probably not the best course of action. Although there are successes, some patients complain of other visual distortions and regret having the procedure done.

Real estate experts agree that a buyers’ market is defined as having greater than a 6 month supply of homes on the market and a sellers’ market is when there is less than a 6 month supply of homes on the market. When there is around a 6 month supply of homes that is a balanced market resulting in stable home prices.

take a closer look at your feet and ankles. An extra 60 seconds could save your life. Did you know that half of the people who learn they have melanoma of the foot die within five years because the cancer had already spread throughout their body by the time it was diagnosed? Regular self-examinations of the feet are an important way to find skin cancer early.

If the melanoma is detected in its earliest stages, the survival rate is 92 percent after that same five year span. The three most common areas to check are the soles, between the toes and around or under the toenails. If a mole, freckle or spot changes and becomes Asymmetrical or changes its Border, Color, Diameter or Elevation, see a doctor immediately. Those are the ABCDE signs of melanoma. Schedule your appointment with one of our board-certified podiatrists to have your feet checked today.

A: The next time you put on your socks,

www.C21.com

The most accepted procedure to remove floaters is called a “vitrectomy”.

This is intraocular surgery (surgery inside the eye) where vitreous fluid is removed (and the fluid is where the floaters are) and a synthetic fluid replaces it. This is a major surgery of the eye and most surgeons want patients to document that their symptoms are “intolerable” before they will do it.

The majority of patients with floaters eventually adapt to them. It’s a process where the brain suppresses the image from the floater making the person unaware that it even exists Please mail any questions about eye problems or vision loss to: Dr. Blanco - Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry Morris Business and Technology Center, 1802 N.

UP CLOSE Coal City’s 102nd Class Photos by Dan Voitik Shaw Media Correspondent

COAL CITY – On Sunday, Coal City High School welcomed its staff, board members, community and graduates to the 102nd CCHS commencement exercises.

Principal Mitchell O. Hamann welcomed all in attendance and reminded them of all they celebrated and endured over the past four years.

He also acknowledged many of the graduates’ future paths in college and the military services.

Other speakers, including Senior Class President Riley Kauzlaric; Salutatorian Nicholas Micetich; Valedictorian Abigail Olsen; Class Secretary/Treasurer Michael Chiarappa; and Class Vice President Michael Steffes also spoke of their memories of the past four years, the paths they will all now take, and thanked all those who helped get them to this point.

Energy sector good to Grundy County

Grundy County is home to some of the best energy assets in the state and the Midwest.

Most people consider energy and think of electric power generation. In fact, energy makes up about 37 percent of Grundy County’s Gross Regional Product, almost all of which is at Exelon’s Dresden Station. But the picture even goes beyond the importance of electricity.

The county has a large pipeline network, excellent transmission grid, renewable energy, and much more.

Combined, these energy assets give Grundy County a competitive advantage in attracting new investment and energy intensive projects that can’t be easily duplicated.

Certainly the largest and most significant energy asset we have is electric power generation. Nuclear power generated at Exelon’s Dresden Station began in 1960. Today, Units 2 and 3 generate approximately 1,700 MW of carbon-free energy. Exelon provides some of the best jobs in our region and also is a significant taxpayer.

Morris Cogeneration located on-site at

VIEWS Nancy Norton Ammer LyondellBasell provides power to that facility and also sells power on to the grid. Grundy County is also home to approximately 132 wind turbines that make up the Top Crop Wind Farm.

Two large electricity projects are also under consideration for our region. Rock Island Clean Line is proposing a converter station to receive 3,500 MW of wind energy.

CPV Three Rivers Energy is working diligently to site a 1,100 MW natural gas generating station. Supporting this power generation is a strong transmission grid system including 765 kV lines, of which only a handful exist in the nation.

Crisscrossing Grundy County is an array of pipelines, carrying all different types of liquids. Alliance Pipeline is a 2,400-mile pipeline that originates in Western Canada and the terminus

is on East Route 6. Carrying nearly 1.6 billion cubic feet of gas per day, this is the main feedstock for Aux Sable Liquid Products’ facility. In addition, Grundy County hosts pipelines owned

by Kinder Morgan, Enbridge, Oneok, and Nicor, to name just a few.

Many people in Grundy County are unaware of the vast network of buried pipelines that are found throughout the area.

Thanks in part to the low cost of natural gas, there is an emergence of new manufacturing opportunities, such as fertilizer production, electric generation, and plastics manufacturing that are now considering new facilities in the U.S. and Illinois.

Grundy County’s pipeline system is a competitive advantage to attracting these types of significant investments.

Alternative types of energy also continue to emerge in our region. The largest such facility is Renewable Energy Group Seneca.

This biodiesel facility, located along the Illinois River in Seneca, can produce 60 million gallons per year.

The plant uses fats, crude and refined

oils for its feedstock.

With all these energy facilities, it is no surprise that Grundy County is home to 20 times the national average of energy workers.

These jobs provide high wages and excellent benefits to many local residents. In an effort to prepare area students to succeed in these positions, Joliet Junior College began an Operations Engineering and Technician program. The first group of students just completed the first year of study and will be participating in internships this summer.

The energy sector has been very good to Grundy County. Encouraging continued investment in local facilities, maintaining national and regional infrastructure, and a skilled workforce are all important components of continued success.

Next time you turn on your lights, remember Grundy County plays an important role in making that happen.

• Nancy Norton Ammer is the CEO of the Grundy Economic Development Council.

Chamber Business Spotlight: RE/MAX Hometown Properties SUBMITTED REPORT CHANNAHON – The Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s recent Business Spotlight highlights a real estate office in Channahon, RE/ MAX Hometown Properties.

The office, located at 25445 S. Pheasant Lane, Suite N in Channahon, is owned and operated by Julie and Joseph McElyea. It is the only RE/MAX real estate office in the Channahon/ Minooka area.

It is their mission to help new and seasoned buyers purchase homes that fit their needs, within their budget and criteria.

They also aim to help sellers sell their homes for more money with staging and marketing strategies to attract more buyers.

“We specialize in listing and selling with veterans, as Joseph is a veteran we have a lot of experience on VA loans and requirements. We also specialize in foreclosures and short sales.

With over 10 years of experience in the foreclosure industry, we have a lot of knowledge to help both buyers and sellers in this area,” Julie McElyea said.

The couple feel blessed to open in

They understand the importance of having good representation when buying and sell-

ing a home. The office also is a “Miracle Office” that works directly with the Children’s Miracle Network and Lurie’s Children’s Hospital in Chicago, and plan to contribute each year to this

organization.

“The Grundy Chamber is thrilled and honored to have RE/MAX Hometown Properties join our membership. The community welcomed them with open arms last week at their ribbon-cutting ceremony,” Chamber Executive Director Christina Van Yperen said. “Their dedication to the Channahon-Minooka community is already visible in their location and community involvement.”

Additional agents soon will be added to RE/MAX Hometown Properties, according to a news release.

They are excited to work in the future with Minooka Community High School on providing scholarships and internships to students. They also plan on setting up a program for local veterans to become more involved in the community.

“We are very connected with the community and how the future of the housing market affects the area,” Julie McElyea said.

OPINIONS

School funding reform difficult to accomplish We saw some examples last week of why school funding reform is so difficult to accomplish in Illinois.

House Republican Leader Jim Durkin appeared with Gov. Bruce Rauner at Lyons Township High School, which is in Durkin’s district.

Durkin pointed out to reporters that the school would lose $1.9 million in state funding under state Sen. Andy Manar’s controversial school funding reform bill. Durkin also claimed that every school district in his House district would lose funding with Manar’s proposal. Chicago, he noted, would gain hundreds of millions of dollars. Durkin declared that he and his members could not and would not support a plan that shoveled big-time bucks at Chicago while cutting their own districts.

But that’s really the whole point of Manar’s plan. He wants to shift state funding away from wealthier suburban districts like those Durkin represents (14.2 percent of Lyons Township High School students are from low-income households) to districts that have high numbers of impoverished students (86 percent of Chicago Public Schools students are from low-income households). Manar wants a “hold harmless” provision to make sure no district loses money right away, but that’ll cost quite a bit of cash, which the state doesn’t currently have.

Durkin represents half of Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno’s district, so persuading both of those chamber leaders to sign off on a plan that takes state money away from their own schools is just as difficult as persuading the two Chicago Democrats who head up the House and Senate to agree to Rauner’s K-12 funding proposal that reduces Chicago’s annual appropriation by $74 million because of the state’s antiquated and complicated funding formula.

The governor also has dumped all over Manar’s plan. He and his surrogates have slammed the proposal as a Chicago “bailout” and have vowed campaign reprisals. It’s not the same, of course, but, in a way, Manar is to Senate President John Cullerton what former state Sen. Barack Obama was to Senate President Emil Jones, who helped mentor Obama’s rise to power.

Manar is Cullerton’s former chief of

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller staff and Cullerton is helping him any way he can. He’s essentially Cullerton’s golden boy. There is no doubt that Manar has worked this piece of legislation harder than any individual has worked a bill in recent memory. He has traveled from one end of the state to the other, meeting with school superintendents and other education leaders in an attempt to create a workable plan.

But the reality is Manar has Cullerton’s full support, and Cullerton has been far more cooperative about coming up with a deal to end the monthslong governmental stalemate than has House Speaker Michael Madigan.

Republicans claimed that forcing the vote could very well make it more difficult to reach an agreement on education spending. Many freely admit that the current system is horribly flawed. But the school funding formula is so crazily complicated that any successful revamp will take serious bipartisan effort. And, indeed, talks have been held to devise a more easily constructed “bridge” between today’s system and a future more in line with Manar’s vision.

So the momentum has shifted to the other chamber, where a special committee led by House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie is attempting to construct an alternative. But there are those who believe Madigan isn’t serious about getting something done.

But someone had better come up with something soon, because Manar said last week there was no way he will vote for the governor’s K-12 appropriations bill because it slashes funding for schools in his district, as did other Senate Democrats. And even some Downstate Republicans who voted against Manar’s bill would prefer a different formula to prevent their own schools from losing state money under the current formula. We could wind up with no school funding at all.

Big things happening at Morris District 54

A number of terrific things are happening at Morris Elementary School District 54 and as a result I struggle with what to write about.

For example, we are nearing the end of another school year and have been celebrating student achievements.

The current crop of Morris 54 children is an accomplished group. I would prefer this article to be about how the Board of Education and public was treated to an excellent presentation from the fifth-grade students in Mrs. DesLauriers class at our last board meeting. The presentation provided a glimpse into the fifth-grade classrooms and their recent science unit.

I would also rather talk about our SMS Math team or one of our accomplished sports teams, that placed extremely well at the IVC and IESA tournaments.

I could also talk about our upcoming graduation and the Honors Banquet that takes place this week to recognize the district’s top graduates. I would also prefer to talk

COMMUNITY PULSE Al Gegenheimer about the outstanding efforts of our faculty and staff or formally thank and recognize the careers of retiring staff members: Betsy Lutz (reading interventionist); Corrine Farmer (fifth-grade teacher); Carol Anderson (sixth-grade ELA); Kathy Schaeffer (seventh-grade ELA); and Karen Kenney (health aide).

But instead I will do the responsible thing and focus this article on school business.

At its regular meeting on May 16, the Board of Education of Morris Elementary School District 54 adopted a resolution to issue up to $700,000 of alternate revenue bonds.

The district intends to pay for the bonds by using the Morris TIF revenues and as a result this bond issuance will not increase the district’s property-tax rate.

The board approved the resolution primarily to complete two important projects.

The first is a major roof project at White Oak Elementary School. The architect’s estimate for this project is about $400,000.

Doing the roof project now will save district taxpayers more than $1 million because doing the project now will prevent an estimated $2 million roof replacement in a few years.

The roof project involves applying a rubberized coating directly over the existing roof. The reason why we need to do the project now is the rubberized coating needs to be applied to the roof while the existing roof is still under warranty.

The estimated cost does include making some minor roof repairs to the existing 16-year-old roof.

Again, by applying the coating now the district will save more than $1 million.

The second project will involve a parking lot expansion at White Oak Elementary School. The parking

lot expansion is estimated to cost $400,000 as well. This expansion is necessary to provide additional parking for parents who visit the school and attend school functions.

Please notice that the cost of the two major projects (an estimated $800,000) exceeds the amount that the Board of Education is requesting in the bond issuance (about $700,000).

The board intends to use existing fund balances in the Capital Projects Fund to make up the difference. The board will hold a public hearing in June 20 concerning the issuance of the alternate revenue bonds.

Congratulations to our students and staff! Best wishes for a terrific summer break!

Morris Community High School hosts Honors Recognition Program

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Nancy Zwiers, the keynote speaker at Morris Community High School’s 33rd annual Honors Recognition Night, congratulated the honorees on their academic achievements.

Zwiers, a 1976 Morris Community High School graduate, has worked for Mattel as senior vice president of Global Marketing for Barbie, before starting her own company, Funosophy Inc. and working with Fisher Price, LeapFrog, Hasbro, Spin Master, Nickelodeon, Fox and Disney.

“First of all, I can tell you that I lived a lifetime during my four years of high school. So many vivid memories,” Zwiers said in her opening statement.

“I still occasionally dream about high school after all these years.”

She said she thinks the reason for her dreams is because high school is a time in everyone’s life that is intense.

“Like you, I was very involved in school, academically, socially and through extracurricular activities with leadership opportunities,” Zwiers said.

Seniors Mikaela Marino and Michael Kren have sat in the gym before, listening to the keynote speaker address honor students. In fact, this year’s Honors Night was the fourth for each of them.

“It’s taught me that anything is possible,” Kren said. “You can be come a rock star or a corporate executive.”

He said that if the speakers he has heard – which include Jimmy Stafford of the popular music group Train – can graduate from Morris High School and become successful, he knows he can, too.

Marino said the hardest part of being an honor student is learning how to juggle everything outside of school that could get in the way, whether it’s work or extracurricular activities.

Honors Night recognized more than 175 students from all four grade levels.

The program was held in the school’s gym, and guests were treated Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com to appetizers prepared by the school’s Morris Community High School senior Grace Tibbott receives her Honors Award. food class.

Each honors student walked before She went on to tell students about where she is today, working for Spin their peers and was given a certificate her career – including highs and lows Master as their CMO, managing more by the administrators, starting with the seniors.

MORRIS – Chris Hankins’ career is much like the clay she uses to create her ceramic artwork – moldable and ever-changing until placed in the kiln.

In 1974, Hankins started teaching at Morris Community High School.

She spent five years teaching art until she left after giving birth to her daughter.

Since that time, she has taught art at Joliet Junior College, part time at Immaculate Conception School and finally returned full time to Morris Community High School in 1990.

“Chris Hankins has the magical ability to draw something out of nothing,” Morris High School Principal Kelly Hussey said. “She allows students to express themselves while learning.”

He said kids have found their identity in the clay and other art pieces they create for Hankins. That is exactly what Hankins said she set out to do.

“I want them to leave with a smile and the fact that they don’t hate art,” Hankins said Friday night at the annual Delta Phi Art Show at Morris High School.

Many students returned for the final show put on by Hankins, and they still had the smile she remembered when they left class.

“She was a great teacher, inspirational,” Ramon Valdivia, a 1992 graduate and working tattoo artist, said at the show. “She pushed me to do things I didn’t want to do. She always told me I was an artist. I never thought that.”

Hankins has always been more than just a teacher.

She also is an artist in her own right. For years, she and her work could be found at local art festivals.

She will be returning to her art and the room she and her husband

St. Juvin Post 1336 Veterans of Foreign Wars donated 400 U.S. flags to the Braceville-Gardner cemetery for placement on veterans’ graves.

One of the graves to be recognized is that of St. Juvin Post’s first commander, John Herron Jr. Herron was born in Braidwood in 1872, enlisted in C Company, 1st Battalion, Wyoming Infantry in May 1898 and served in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War. The 1st Battalion, Wyoming Infantry was a state militia unit that preceded the National Guard, which wasn’t organized until 1903.

He was discharged in September 1899 at the Presidio of San Francisco, and returned to Coal City, where he worked as a coal miner and raised his family.

Herron passed away on May 1, 1942. Three of his six pallbearers were charter members of St. Juvin Post 1336.

to 10 years. Since it is “painted” on the grove on the top of the teeth, no drilling or removal of tooth structure is involved. The procedure is short, easy and painless.

Permanent molars are the most likely to benefit from sealants. The first molars usually come into the mouth when a child is about 6 years old. Second molars appear at about age 12. It is best if the sealant is applied soon after the teeth appear before they have a chance to decay, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“I highly recommend it for children, especially because the grooves at backs of the molars are the most common spots for cavities,”

said Dr. Eric Salud, lead dentist at Complete Comfort Dental in Channahon.

Insurance usually covers the cost. He said he supervises the procedure, but it can be done safely by a hygienist or dental assistant.

Basically, after the tooth is cleaned, a special gel is placed on the chewing surface for a few seconds. The tooth is washed off and dried, and the sealant is painted on the tooth.

The dentist or dental hygienist also may shine a light on the tooth to help harden the sealant. It takes about a minute for the sealant to form a protective shield. Sealants can be clear, white, or slightly tinted, and usually are not seen when a child talks or smiles, according to the CDC. Sealants should be checked at regular dental appointments and can be reapplied if they are no longer in place. They cannot be applied over fillings, crowns and other dental appliances, Dr. Salud said.

PREP FISHING

MORRIS – During the 2008-09 school year, the Illinois High School Association held its first bass fishing competition, with 199 schools taking part.

Since then, the participation has grown to 262 schools competing, including Morris Community High School, which also began its program in 2008.

On May 1, the Morris No. 1 team took part in the 14-team sectional at Heidecke Lake southeast of Morris and finished third, advancing to the state finals at Lake Carlyle near Clinton County, which will be Friday and Saturday. Lake Carlyle is Illinois’ largest man-made lake.

Morris is coached by Ray Odom, who runs Rayjus Performance Apparel Inc., a company that sells fishing jerseys and wraps boats with decals, among other services, and is a longtime fisherman himself. The state-qualifying team consists of Eli Gile, Seth Hornsby, Jeffrey Johnson and Jon Smyk, with other team members including Alex Lawyer, Jake Hulbert, Trey Budach and Craig Lawson.

At the sectional, Gile caught the largest bass at 2 pounds, 4 ounces, helping Morris finish with a total of 3 pounds, 4 ounces. Minooka’s No. 2 team of Mitch DeGraaf, Brent Beckwith, A. J. Wojtowicz and Raven Pointer took first place with a total of 4 pounds, 12 ounces, with Newark’s No. 1 team of Ben Komes and Taylor Thrall hauling in 4 pounds, 3 ounces.

One big question is how a school goes about starting a bass fishing program. The initial start-up costs, such as a boat and trailer, can be a problem.

“This is only my second year with the program,” Odom said. “We use my boat, and a lot of the guys who come out for the team have boats at home that we can use if we need to. There has been a lot of interest, actually. We had about 20 kids show up for the first meeting of the year, but some of them had other commitments with other sports and just couldn’t do it.

“The nice thing is that this gives the kids who aren’t into the other sports and who just like to get out there and go fishing a chance to be a part of a team.”

Odom will have a daughter’s graduation to attend during the weekend of the state tournament, so assistant coach Mike Norris will take charge of the boat. Smyk will also have to miss the state tourney because of also being a member of the Morris boys tennis team – which will be taking part in sectionals that weekend, leaving Gile, Hornsby and Johnson to represent the

Redskins at state. And although they would have liked it if Smyk could join them, the trio is fine with hitting the water themselves. During the competition, only two members of the team can be in the boat at the same time, so they occasionally will have to rotate.

The three who will represent the Redskins are a tight-knit group, and they look forward to the weekend.

“It’s pretty sweet,” they all said in unison when asked how it feels to be going to state. “We get to be off of school and go fishing together for three days.”

Gile, who served as the main spokesman for the group, said the three have been fishing buddies for a long time and getting to fish for the school allows them more time to do that.

“We probably get to spend more time fishing now than our parents would normally let us,” he said. “The weather is huge when you go to one of these tournaments. We are hoping for a nice day so the water is clear and the fish can see the bait. We don’t know a

One thing that the team is bound to do is have fun. The three laugh together easily, especially when it was mentioned that Gile twice caught Hornsby with a hook while casting at a recent event, to which Hornsby said, “I guess I have to pay closer attention when Eli is casting.”

They also like being around nature.

“The other day there was a bald eagle on the bank,” Johnson said. “One of us caught a walleye that we couldn’t keep, so we threw it on the bank for the eagle. Then another one flew in and we just sat there and watched the two eagles eat the fish. I have never seen a bald eagle that close-up before. They are amazing animals and it was cool to see them that close-up.”

Although the Morris team is happy to be going to state, they don’t have any set goals heading into the tournament.

“The goal was just to get there,” Gile said. “Now that we made it, it’s kind of like a dog chasing a car. What’s he going to do with it if he catches it? We’re just going to try to study the weather patterns, check out the water clarity and see what the fish will bite on. We can’t worry about what other teams are doing. The lake’s so big, we won’t see many other teams or if they’re catching anything.

“We can only try to do the best we can and see where we stand when it’s all over.”

46 SOFTBALL: MORRIS 10, JOLIET CENTRAL 0 (5 INN.)

Morris bats on fire in win over Joliet Central

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com MORRIS – We needed that.

That was the collective feeling of the Morris softball team Monday afternoon after the Redskins beat Joliet Central, 10-0, in a nonconference game that ended in the fifth inning on the 10-run rule.

“We’ve been in a slump lately,” said Redskins center fielder Melissa Benson, who belted two triples, a double, drove in three runs, scored three and threw out two Central runners, one at the plate and another at second base.

“We had lost three in a row, and we’re starting to make our comeback.

It was real nice to have a game like this. We think we have a pretty solid lineup 1 through 9. Most teams don’t have a 9-hitter as good as ours.”

Benson was referring to designated player Gigi Corban, who had an RBI double in the second inning and ended the game with an RBI single that capped a five-run fifth inning.

Catcher Emily Moore also had a huge day at the plate for Morris (20-10).

She finished with a triple, two doubles and three RBIs. “I’m a senior and this was my last home game,” Moore said. “This feels really good. It’s kind of sad that it’s coming to an end, but at least now it seems like we are getting our hitting back.”

Winning pitcher Abby Burns, who added two hits to the Redskins’ 14-hit attack, struck out five Steelmen the first time through the lineup and two more the second time through. She allowed four hits, hit one batter and walked one.

“Abby had her changeup working, and her screwball, too,” Moore said of Burns. “She also was hitting her spots well with her fastball.”

“Abby was working on a back problem last week, but she seems to be

left fielder Jicara Tate caught Janelle Brehm’s fly ball and threw out courtesy runner Allison Kukman trying to score after the catch.

In the second inning, however, Morris put up a 3-spot on the strength of three extra-base hits. The Redskins ripped three triples and five doubles among their 14 hits. Moore started the uprising with a triple, Cook walked, Benson doubled home two runs and Corban’s double chased Benson home.

The Redskins added a run in the third on Moore’s RBI double and another in the fifth on Benson’s triple and Ryan Friend’s sacrifice fly to make it 5-0.

The game-ending fifth-inning rally began with singles from Phelps and Brehm. Moore doubled home two, and that was followed by Benson’s second straight triple, Friend’s double and Corban’s game-ending single.

Seneca baseball opens regional play with rout of Streator Woodland

Kole Gallick added a triple and an RBI. Simon worked three hitless innings with four strikeouts, while Pete Hogue fanned two in two innings and allowed just one hit.

“Our bats came to life tonight and gave Hunter the offensive support he has often lacked,” Seneca coach Kirk Houchin said. “We had a monster second inning.”

Morris 4, Kaneland 3: Matt Walker and his senior classmates celebrated Senior Night with a Northern Illinois Big 12 win. Walker worked the full seven innings, striking out 14. Danny Borgstrom had a team-leading three hits for the Redskins (13-18).

Memorial Day is coming, and summer with it It’s close. We can feel it. Just a few more days.

You may have guessed what I am referring to.

Memorial Day is just around the corner. This three-day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer for most of us.

As the holiday creeps ever closer, people make plans. Summer plans.

Plans that involve long-anticipated vacations.

The kids are bursting at their seams to get out of school.

Parents are itching for nice weather and lengthening days of sunlight. Plan now because those days pass by too fast and fall sneaks closer.

If you are wondering how to fill the time with meaningful activities for the young ones, check out the YMCA summer camps.

John Almer and I will lead two weeks of fishing camps again this summer.

This year’s dates are earlier than the last couple of years, so be sure to mark them down. The first camp is scheduled for June 13 to 16 and the second fishing camp is slated for

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers June 27 to 30.

The camp is open to students in the K-8 range. The first half of the morning is reserved for the little ones.

Kindergartners through third-graders will occupy the 9 to 10:30 a.m. time slot, while 10:30 a.m. to noon will be for fourth through eighth grades.

The kids are asked to bring their own fishing pole and basic terminal tackle. This includes items such as hooks, split shot, and bobbers. I suggest small hooks that are suitable for panfish.

The YMCA will provide the bait, but please bring your own favorites as well. I also recommend you tuck a few rags into your kid’s gear bag.

The hands get a little slimy, especially if things are going well.

The camp will take place Monday through Thursday.

We hold Friday and even Saturday in reserve if the weather decides to not cooperate. Each day takes place at a new lake.

This strategy has worked well in the past, since fishing can be tough.

If we have a hard time on one body of water, the next day will take us to a new place and new possibilities.

With that said, the landowners we work with have been amazing at granting us access to prime locations.

By the end of the week, everyone has the opportunity to feel a tug on their line and a smile sweep across their face.

I won’t lie. Taking youngsters out fishing can be challenging. Many parents cringe at the thought. Their mind flashes with images of tangled lines, impossible knots, smelly bait, and no fish.

If you have had those experiences, we will try to make the outings as smooth as we can.

Why? Because when you hear the shouts of joy from a child as they fight their first fish, it warms everyone’s heart. Suddenly the tangled

lines don’t seem as frustrating as they were a minute ago.

It is that unbridled excitement that can trigger a lifelong passion for the outdoors.

These kids are the next generation of caretakers and stewards of our land and its resources. I hope that someday, a child who has attended our fishing camp is able to take out his or her own offspring and pass on what they have learned.

As you are thinking about what to do this summer, check out the other summer camps the YMCA offers.

They have great instructors lined up to host everything from baseball and wrestling to cheer and disc golf.

For the full lineup of summer opportunities, stop by their local office or visit www.jolietymca.org.

I hope to see you at our fishing camps with your children or grandchildren.

My two boys don’t know it yet, but they will be there, too. Untangling knots!

Shake up breakfast routines

Lemon ricotta pancakes add fun flavor to morning meal We all have our morning routines and most of us include breakfast as a part of our normal regimen. But as we all know, routines can get dull fast, especially after you’ve been eating the same breakfast for a few months. If you find your family is in a breakfast rut, it may be time to switch things up and add some excitement to those early hours.

Here are a few new ideas to brighten up everyone’s morning: Get the whole family to cook. Getting everyone in the family to help out in the kitchen is easy, especially on weekends, and they’ll love feeling more involved.

Set up a pancake bar. Make a weekend breakfast extra special by setting up a short-order pancake station in your kitchen. Offer different flavors of pancake mix, set out chocolate chips, sliced fruit or any other ingredients to create special pancakes that appeal to your family.

Host a breakfast lottery. Do your kids complain about having to eat the same thing every day? Surprise them with a special breakfast lottery. Have ingredients on hand for several breakfast entrees, like pancakes, waffles, or crepes.

Put the names of each breakfast item in a hat and make whichever one you draw.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD American Grit How do you get across 60 feet without ever touching the ground? That’s the latest challenge for the contestants, as the new episode “Squat Till You Drop” inspires them to build bridges — in the most literal sense.

8:01 p.m. on ^ WBBM Mom The title of the seriocomic show’s thirdseason finale, “Atticus Finch and the Downtrodden,” does a neat job of incorporating the iconic lawyer character from Harper Lee’s classic novel “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The reference here is to Christy (Anna Faris), whose own aim to become an attorney may be thwarted by the cost of the related education.

That debate hasn’t dissipated in the years since. Sonny Rollins, Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis and John Coltrane are among the icons featured.

Don’t be surprised to see Meyers himself pop in here, and possibly some other “SNL” alumni as well. Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett is the musical guest.
