Ali’s passing evokes memories of my dad It was hard to do much over the weekend without reading or hearing about the death of Muhammad Ali. Every word spoken and every drop of ink used is worth it, as Ali meant that much to many people – including my Dad. Dad and I shared a love of sports throughout our lives. Even though we didn’t see eye-to-eye on many topics, sports was our common bond. Baseball was my sport of choice, and Dad loved basketball.

In the fall, Fridays were for Morris football, Saturdays for the Michigan Wolverines and Sundays belonged to the Bears.

When the Wolverines were over on Saturdays, though, I would turn the TV to Channel 7 and we’d watch Wide World of Sports. If boxing was on, we turned off the TV and found something else to do.

Unless Ali was scheduled to be on.

I was too young to understand Dad’s admiration of the man. I thought he was funny when interviewed by Howard Cosell.

And he seemed to win almost every time he fought. But Dad didn’t have a standing appointment to watch Ken Norton, Joe Frazier or George Foreman or, a little later

VIEWS Rob Oesterle on, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler or Thomas Hearns. It wasn’t until I got older and learned more about Ali that I figured out some things about Dad, too.

Dad always had a healthy (or unhealthy, depending on how you look at it) distaste for authority. He didn’t like to be told what to do, which led to a lot of arguments around the house and job switching in the workplace. I am sure it’s what led to our own butting of heads.

It was odd to see Dad look up to someone, especially someone he had never met.

But as I learned about Ali and his refusal to be inducted into the U.S. Armed Forces due to his religious convictions, I understood why Dad admired him. Ali wasn’t taking the most popular stance. He stood up for what he believed and didn’t back down, even if it meant that he couldn’t fight.

LOOKING UP

He withstood all the voices declaring him un-American when he was in fact doing one of the most fundamental American things he could. He was practicing his freedom to worship as he pleased – which was the reason, we were taught, that the Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower.

Ali eventually won back his right to box again. By the time I was old enough to know anything about his stance against the war, I knew that he was The Greatest. And part of what made him The Greatest was he always got up after being knocked down.

Somehow, Leon Spinks beat him and won the heavyweight title. But a few months later, they fought again and Ali reclaimed the title. That, Dad told me, is what great ones do. They get up one more time than they get knocked down.

In my mind, as Ali shuffles around heaven, my dad is able to shake his hand. They walk together and, if one of them should fall, the other will help him get back up.

Morris farmer provides an inside look into evolving farm technology

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Sitting high in his air-conditioned John Deere tractor cab, local farmer Steve Kodat flipped up his steering wheel and rotated his chair 45 degrees to get a look at other areas of the field.

Yet the tractor still moved straight ahead.

The tractor steers itself, not varying more than inch or two as the field corn is being planted.

“It’s equipped with GPS and works off of satellites,” Kodat said.

It doesn’t just steer itself, however. It keeps track of what has been planted in the field – and what hasn’t.

As he plants 12 rows at a time in the oddly-shaped field off Pine Bluff Road, there are areas that get overlapped during some passes with the giant green machine. But the computer knows there are already seeds sown in that soil and shuts sections of the planter off to reduce double planting.

In 1989, when Kodat started farming, planting was different, with edges of the field getting planted repeatedly as the tractor turned to do another row down the center of the field, causing increased costs to planting.

On the other end of the county, Dwight farmer Matt Boucher is taking advantage of new technology to decide the best farming practices for the fields he plants.

“I record every two seconds when I’m harvesting and I know how much grain is coming in, where it came from, and get a map that looks like a radar reading,” he said. “With five or six years of data, I have good, hard data that shows good versus poor spots.”

He said that information goes from an app on his iPad directly to the cloud so he can pull up the information wher-

A side-by-side view of computers used by Matt Boucher while farming during the day and at night. ever he is.

As he is planting in the spring, he uses the collected data and the app on the iPad to control the planter.

He said with his 16-row planter, he can set up each planter with its own rate and pressure, in essence giving him 16 one-row planters that can be operated independently of one another.

The data on the iPad tells the planter to put more corn seeds in good spots

in the field, and less in the poor spots.

Ironically, in the soybean field, the data are used in just the opposite manner, putting in fewer seeds in the good areas and more in the bad.

This allows him to get the most yield of out of his field without overuse of seeds, keeping costs down.

The information also is used to replace fertilizer in specific areas of a field rather than blanketing all of the acre-

age with the same fertilizer. This also controls costs involved in growing the crops.

“Using yield maps, we can fertilize accordingly and can replace nutrients where needed,” Boucher said. “Putting a flat rate of fertilizer on the field is short-changing the potential.”

Cruise Night opens 15th season Saturday

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – It’s that time of year again. The weather is nicer, the days are becoming longer and the itch to be outside is greater.

That means the annual series of Cruise Nights in downtown Morris is about to begin, with the first one set to take place June 11.

Liberty Street will be shut down to traffic in the afternoon and evening as classic vehicles will be parked on either side of the downtown thoroughfare for gearheads, car enthusiasts or just folks who want to take a stroll can have a look.

And what they’ll be looking at, according to Morris Cruise Night founder Herb Wyeth, is the largest Cruise Night in the Midwest.

“It just keeps getting bigger and bigger,” Wyeth said. “We’ve had as many as 917 cars registered on a single night, but the average is anywhere between 700 and 900 for the most part. Then, I would say we average anywhere between 6,000 and 8,000 spectators.

“I think that’s what sets ours apart.

It’s not just the people who love cars.

It’s a chance for people to get outside and walk around and shake off that cabin fever that’s been building all

winter. It has really turned into a social event.”

The classic cars will be parked on each side of Liberty Street, from Illinois Avenue on the south end to the railroad tracks at the north, with a block east and west of Liberty Street on each cross street in that area.

Morris Cruise Night takes place on the second Saturday of every month from June through October. In addition to displaying classic cars for the public to view, Cruise Night selects a different charitable organization for each of its events and allows it to hold a 50/50 raffle and have a food booth at the event in order to raise funds.

The initial beneficiary this year is Grundy County Volunteer Hospice. On July 9, it will be Grundy Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity; on Aug. 13, it will be Morris Rotary Club; on Sept. 10, it will be Morris Chiefs Football; and

The bright orange and black 1999 Harley-Davidson themed Corvette owned by Craig Hyslop of Orland Park has won several awards prior to its display at one of the Morris Cruise Night events last year. This year’s series begins Saturday.

Oct. 8, it will be Morris Police Benevolent Society. Alcohol and pets are not allowed during Cruise Night, and the entry fee is $10 a vehicle.

This year marks the 15th summer that Cruise Night has been a part of downtown Morris life.

“It’s a pretty good milestone,”

Wyeth said. “It’s something to celebrate, that’s for sure. I have kept a spreadsheet over the years of people and vehicles that have come here and registered, and it’s above 4,600 now, from seven or eight different states. So, it’s become a pretty big thing.

“We’re pretty proud of it.”

Braidwood police, DEA arrest Coal City man on drug charge

BRAIDWOOD – Authorities say they recovered six bags of heroin from a Coal City man arrested last week on several drug charges.

Daniel Pogliano, 31, of the 3900 block of North Will Road in unincorporated Grundy County near Coal City, was arrested June 2 after a months-long investigation by Braidwood police and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Will County sheriff’s police also assisted on the arrest, which was in the 3900 block of North Will Road.

Braidwood Police Chief Nick Ficarello said the investigation with the DEA started earlier this year. He said that Pogliano was out on bond for three Class 2 felony charges of manufacturing and delivery of heroin out of Livingston County.

Pogliano has been charged in Will County with possession with intent to deliver of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony, and delivery of a controlled substance, a Class 2 felony. He was taken to the Will County Jail; his bond information was not immediately available Friday afternoon, according to online records for the jail and Will County Circuit Clerk.

Braidwood has taken an aggressive approach to getting drugs out of the city.

From April 30, 2015, through May 1, 2016, there have been 27 hard drug arrests, Ficarello said. From those arrests, police have confiscated 740 bags of heroin and 1.6 grams of crystal meth.

“We’re addressing the problem. we’re taking a progressive, proactive role in trying to clean up the area,” he said. “The partnership with DEA is really working.

It’s working out exceptionally well.”

Morris man does not want murder sentence reconsidered

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

Channahon Park District staff member Josh Sauerbier (left) measures a fish caught by Logan Jones, 10, of Channahon at the Channahon Park District fishing derby June 4.

Channahon holds fishing derby for area children

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – When many children sleep in on summer Saturday mornings, a few dozen little ones from the Channahon area dusted off their fishing poles and headed out last weekend for a little friendly competition at area fishing derbies.

Two-year-old Ryan Newcomb could not keep his feet still Saturday as he neared the I&M Canal at Channahon State Park.

His eyes lit up as he walked to the water with his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pole alongside his father, Jared Newcomb, and grandfather, Joe Langhamer.

“I like to fish,” Ryan said. “I am going to catch a swordfish with a long nose.”

Around the corner, in a hidden spot over rocks fallen trees, avid fisherman and brothers Nathan and Logan Morgan, 10, of Minooka took to the canal to catch bluegill and bass.

“I love to fish and I caught a ton of bass last summer. Since I haven’t caught any fish this year, this is my chance to catch the first one,” Nathan said.

“I love to fish and I caught a ton of bass last summer.

Since I haven’t caught any fish this year, this is my chance to catch the first one.”

Nathan Morgan 10, Minooka

Channahon Park District event coordinator Nicole Vaira said the district has sponsored this free children’s 12-and-under fishing derby for more than 20 years, with a usual attendance of 40 children.

“This event introduces youth to fishing and its something everybody, no matter age or ability, can do. It’s a great way to get outside and spend time with family,” Vaira said.

Staff members were on hand to measure and keep a log of all of the fish caught Saturday morning.

Prizes were given to Brandon Sherry, who won for the biggest fish, Jaimi Curtis for the smallest fish and Marlee Anderson for the most fish caught.

JOLIET – A Morris man will not ask a judge to change his 45-year prison sentence for murdering his uncle.

Jason M. Gonzalez, 30, told Judge Edward Burmila on June 2 that it is an injustice he will serve that time. Gonzalez, who has represented himself, then withdrew his motion to have the judge reconsider the sentence he imposed in September. Gonzalez was living with his uncle’s family in the 22700 block of South Cedar Road in New Lenox Township until two months before Lance Goebel was found shot to death on Sept. 17, 2009.

Prosecutors said Gonzalez had become “inappropriately fixated” on children in the family before he was evicted.

Last June, Gonzalez represented himself in an eight-day trial before he pleaded guilty to murder. He faced a potential sentence of 20 to 60 years in prison. He will be eligible for parole in 2054.

Residents in Minooka D-111 to be sent tax bills late

MORRIS – The Grundy County Clerk’s Office works to provide accurate tax levy data for use in determining tax rates. Every year during the tax extension process, levy requests are entered into the clerk’s software, including bond amounts.

However, infrequently, errors do occur.

Fortunately, a system of checks and balances is in place to catch and rectify such errors prior to the taxpayers’ receipt of their tax bill. Such was the case when an error in the clerk’s calculation of the school district’s debt service levy was discovered by Minooka School District No. 111, and reported to the clerk’s office prior to the mailing of the tax bills.

The tax bills were scheduled, and ready for delivery June 3; however, once this was discovered, the Treasurer’s Office pulled the bills from being sent. The Clerk’s Office has since recalculated the levy, the district has approved the calculations, and the tax bills will be mailed on or before June 15 with the first installment due July 15 and the second installment due Sept. 15.

Tax payments can be paid without the original bill by visiting www.grundyco.org or visiting the Treasurer’s office in Room 33 of the Grundy County Courthouse, 111 E. Washington St. in Morris.

It’s back: Morris Firefighters Association to host its carnival

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris Firefighters Association once again brings fun to fundraising with the Morris Firemen’s Carnival this year.

This year marks the 55th year for the annual carnival that sits at in the parking lot of Morris Community High School.

“The carnival is the only fundraiser for the year,” firefighter Jake Bulthuis said. “It funds events we host and charitable causes like laying grave blankets and putting out grave markers for firefighters.”

The event will be held June 14 to 18, with tickets available ahead of time for a discount from any firefighter or at both firehouses.

Bulthuis, who is in charge of this year’s carnival, said he hopes to dispel the idea that the funds go to the fire protection district, which is a taxing body.

He said many ask why he’s selling tickets when they already pay for the district with their property taxes.

The Firefighters Association, which hosts the carnival, is responsible for the upkeep on the antique firetrucks and hosts community events. The carnival

will open each weekday at 6 p.m. and will remain open until 11 p.m.

On Saturday, the carnival is open from 1 until 11 p.m. and will be single-ticket ride day all day.

Bulthuis said that for community members who don’t have children or don’t want to attend, an opportunity is available to buy tickets that will be given to kids in need.

“I don’t have any children and I personally bought a few sheets to give away,” he said.

The carnival was started by Hub Luehrs, who began working at a carnival in Ripon, Wisconsin, in 1936. Two years later, he married Winnifred Schimnowski.

They started their business with one ride and a few concessions. By 1956, they were able to buy Ideal Rides from Paul Robertson. In the spring of 1957, Luehrs’ Ideal Rides hit the road with an Octopus, Ferris Wheel, Merry-Go-Round, King Pony Cart and a Schiff Coaster. Through the years, the carnival has grown.

The third generation of the family currently owns Luehrs’ Ideal Rides. Andy and Lorelei Schoendienst and Jean and Joe Clair bought the business in 1996.

Numerous family members work for the carnival.

MORRIS – Morris is one step closer to seeing a new auto parts store break ground at 1849 Division St. The property that once housed Morris Trailer Sales has been subdivided into three lots, with the first of the lots scheduled to get a new O’Reilly Auto Parts store.

“They will be breaking ground later this year,” Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said. “There has also been interest in getting a national chain restaurant just to the south of it in one of the two remaining lots.”

Kopczick said some work had to be done to the third lot, which is not accessible via Division Street, and once that work is done he expects the work to move forward.

The Morris City Council approved 7-0, with Alderman Sid Nelson absent from Monday’s meeting, an ordinance granting a parking area set-back variance on the O’Reilly lot as well as a 6-1 vote with Don Matteson voting no, to a side yard set-back variance that would be needed for the store to be operational on the lot.

The board also approved business

JOLIET – A potential new location for the Joliet Junior College Morris Education Center was proposed last week to the Board of Trustees.

Instead of having the center, which opened in August 2001, at its location at 1715 N. Division St., Morris, it would be at the soon-to-be empty Shabbona Middle School, about a mile away.

The new location would offer cost savings, an enhanced image for the college and bring growth and partnership opportunities, said Caroline Portlock, JJC workforce development director.

Portlock and Marsha McCormick, JJC extended campuses and high school relations director, presented the proposal to the board at a May 24 workshop meeting.

“Some of you may know about the challenges we’ve had at our current site and it has been a difficult process, I will say, in order to provide what we would consider [a] world-class education for the community,” Portlock said.

Later in the meeting, Portlock said that during each semester, students are surveyed and they are asked what classes they want to take. She said that, as a new-

comer and somebody passionate about Grundy County, it has been disheartening to see enrollment numbers decline.

“I think part of it is that we need to make the commitment that if we schedule a class, we’re going to run a class. …

The reality is, our word should be our word,” she said.

Portlock said Shabbona Middle School is slated to be empty by the end of the summer.

The location would be closer to the Grundy Area Vocational Center and Morris Community High School, offer ease of access and parking, a tutoring and testing area, six classrooms and two computer labs, according to the proposal. The new location would give room for expansion of courses, programs and the student population. Revenue projections at the new location would increase for the next three school years, from $84,600 to $169,200.

Projected enrollment figures for the next three school years presented to the board showed the Morris Education Center would increase from 300 to 600 students. Board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich said he wanted to see a projection of total costs so trustees could examine the proposal from a “balance sheet” perspective.

Storm preparedness events scheduled

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A storm education event has been scheduled at New Hope Presbyterian Church in Coal City for Wednesday and June 23.

The Rev. Mark Hughey said the informational meeting has been put into place to benefit all age groups.

The sessions are scheduled close to the one-year anniversary of the EF3 tornado that struck the village the night of June 22. It affected 884 properties and caused the loss of 50,000 trees.

“We have heard from local families as well as a counselor that many children are still struggling with fear when storms approach,” Hughey said in an email. “Our school counselors and superintendent have also told me that they have issues with some students when they’re in school.”

The event will feature guest speaker Art Donnelley, a local storm chaser, who will explain the different cloud formations and safety precautions to put in place with each.

The first 20 minutes of the evening will be an open presentation on the different clouds geared for all ages.

After that, children will split into classrooms with informative coloring books that will help reinforce what they heard during the presentation.

Veterans Assistance Commission manager

New legislation redefines Veteran Assistance Commissions Grundy County VAC compliant with proposal

with the support. It puts to bed any future questions.”

There are 11 veteran organizations in Grundy County; seven of those organizations have been actively participating with the VAC run by Buck. Once the new law is in place, that VAC will be in compliance.

Buck said the law will make additional changes starting next year.

“Starting in January, we will give information to all the organizations within 60 days, they will provide us with a list of the delegates they’ve picked to represent them,” Buck said.

Monson did not immediately return a message left Monday afternoon seeking comment. In the past, Monson has said he will not join the current commission despite his desire to help veterans.

• Thursday, June 9, 2016

MORRIS – Illinois legislators unanimously passed May 31 a proposed measure that will make changes to the definition of what constitutes a legal Veterans Assistance Commission on May 31.

The law will become effective immediately upon the governor’s signature. If it becomes law, it will help settle a dispute that has been ongoing for years in Grundy County.

The quarrel started in 2011 when six local veterans’ organizations were allegedly not allowed a vote with the VAC run by Elton Monson. The Grundy County Board was asked, and took action, for reorga-

nization of a new VAC, which currently is run by Ken Buck. The board continues to fund the VAC run by Buck. Monson has fought that decision, asking the courts to rescind the County Board’s action, stating it did not have the authority to recognize an entirely new VAC. The local courts ruled the county did, but would not rule on the existence of the old VAC. The appellate court found in 2015 that the old VAC, run by Monson, dismantled itself by refusing to seat some delegates chosen by the 11 veterans’ groups in Grundy County. But since the new VAC also doesn’t have a representative from each group, it doesn’t technically exist.

The 3rd District Appellate Court

to the Illinois Supreme Court released an opinion April 1 upholding its May 2015 opinion. The VAC had 30 days to appeal the April 1 opinion to the Illinois Supreme Court or risk losing a VAC in Grundy County. The County Board decided to continue to fund veterans’ services through Buck’s VAC while the organization appealed the 3rd District Appellate Court’s decision by the Illinois Supreme Court.

The measure passed recently by state lawmakers would redefine a VAC as having a majority of veterans organizations in a county, versus all veterans organizations, participate in order to be valid.

“We are very happy the state association worked with us and other organizations to address the issues,” Buck said. “It got through with a unanimous vote, and we are pleased

Summer wedding season is in full swing and newlyweds will soon be managing their finances as a pair. Grundy Bank encourages couples to start talking on how they will handle money issues together.

Avoiding the money talk. Discussing your finances can be uncomfortable, but those who tackle it head on will be better for it.

Once you understand your partner’s financial goals and spending habits, you can develop an approach to money management that works for both of you.

Not setting a budget. A mistake many couples make is not establishing a budget early on. Determine how you’ll spend your money each month and come to an agreement on setting a budget. This will be beneficial for the health of your bank accounts and your relationship.

Not having a plan for your accounts.

There is no ‘right’ way to manage your accounts. Whether you have joint accounts or

a joint account with separate accounts for spending, discuss your preferences together.

Decide what makes you both the most comfortable.

Failing to set up an emergency fund. Life is full of surprises and having an emergency fund will help you avoid stressful financial situations. It’s important that you decide together how you’ll set aside the money.

Not establishing a minimum cost for discussing big expenses. While not all purchases demand a conversation, expensive ones that impact the family budget should. Determine a threshold as a couple that you both are in agreement on whether it’s a necessary purchase.

Forgetting to update your beneficiaries.

Now that you’re married, you may want to identify your spouse as the person who will receive the benefits of your will, life insurance policy and financial accounts like your 401(k), checking and savings. Be sure to update those as soon as you can.

MORRIS – The music on the main stage at this weekend’s Gebhard Woods Dulcimer and Traditional Music Festival will seemingly follow in the Illinois spring tradition of the weather: If you don’t like it, wait an hour. It will change.

For two days in Goold Park, across the street from the Morris Municipal Swimming Pool, the Gebhard Dulcimer Festival will host its annual get-together this weekend.

Every hour on the hour, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on both days, a new performer will take the stage. Meanwhile, all of the performers will be giving workshops on various topics and types of music when they are not performing.

There also will also be breakfast and lunch, along with drinks and desserts, offered to go along with the music, with featured food vendors being Boy Scout Troop 33 of DeKalb and Kool Kat Ice Cream of Wheaton.

Breakfast will offer up pancakes, breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs and coffee, while the lunch menu will consist of chicken wraps, veggie wraps, pulled pork, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, polish or smoked sausage,

Channahon trustees OK new type of liquor license

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent

day and 10 p.m. Sunday; no alcoholic beverages outside the defined outdoor dining area; and limitations on loudspeakers and sound systems.

There was quite a bit of discussion on the noise from music that might emanate from the areas.

The ordinance was originally written to make sure music would not be heard more than 100 feet from the sites, but at least two trustees – Debbie Militello and Chantal Host – felt that distance was too confined to be practical. Militello thought 200 feet might be more reasonable.

In the end, the board decided that music or other amplified sound must not be able to be heard at homes that are more than 150 feet from the perimeter of the outdoor dining area.

CHANNAHON – Trustees approved at Monday’s Channahon village board meeting an ordinance that will allow restaurants to apply for a license so they can offer outdoor dining with alcoholic beverages.

The supplemental license is a new one for the village. Businesses that hold Class A, B or H liquor licenses may apply for the supplemental outdoor dining liquor license for an additional fee of $500.

Three businesses currently hold a resort license that allows outdoor dining with alcohol – Big Fish Bar and Grille, Mugz’s Hideout and The Grille Room at the golf course. But restaurants not classified with resort status have not been allowed the consider- Microbrewery interest ation.

requests for such a license. One is from Channahon brewers Tom Sperling, Tim Engler and Dustin Fryman, all of whom attended the board meeting.

After the meeting, the brewers said they are interesting in opening a microbrewery on Route 6 at the site of the old Enjoi Bakeshop and Café. Their plans are to brew beer and make wines.

They hope to open within the year.

A Class K license would allow the licensee to produce wine, spirits or beer only on the specified licensed premises; furnish samples for consumption; sell products by the glass or container; and sell the products produced there at other locations.

The businesses would not be allowed to sell alcoholic beverages produced by other manufacturers.

The fee for the license is the same as other Channahon liquor licenses – $1,000 a year.

Hours of operation would be limited

Turtle watching

Also at Monday’s meeting, Trustee Scott McMillin offered a heads-up for those driving village roads near waterways: Watch out for turtles.

May and June is nesting season for all species of the local turtle population. According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Illinois turtles lay their eggs on land, even if they are water turtles.

The reptiles may cross roads to lay their eggs and cross them again to get back to the water. Later, when the eggs hatch, the hatchlings may have roads to cross to get to a river or creek.

Six of the 17 Illinois turtle species are on the endangered list.

McMillin said he sees turtles slowly crossing the roads by the dozens this time of year. He’s recently seen many that have been run over by cars, as well, including a large snapping turtle.

ORTIZ HEARING CENTER, INC. VS. BIG BOX STORES SPONSORED BY

It may seem like a “small” business such as Ortiz Hearing Center, Inc., is fighting an uphill battle trying to compete with big box stores in the hearing aid business.

Think again. For the past 25 years, our hearing patients have been loyal because we believe in treating our patients like family. We make it personal. The buying experience is not just about price. Possibly a better price is all you will receive in a big box store. Nothing more.

Ortiz Hearing Center, Inc. is competitive with their product pricing. We don’t, however, get hung up on just price. More importantly, we sell “value”. Saving a patient time and money by personally recommending the correct hearing instrument and providing tips on how to use it is a value big box stores can’t provide.

Today, more than ever, the best solution for many individuals with hearing loss is hearing aids. Consumers assume that pricing will automatically be higher at a small business vs. a corporate owned store.

SM-CL0362681

Consumers sometimes dismiss the perks that are offered at Ortiz Hearing Center such as patient care and counseling. Also unlike the big box store, Ortiz Hearing Center delivers community character and economic advantages to the community.

Hearing is one of the human body’s most remarkable senses. It integrates seamlessly with our brains to help us connect with the world around us. Made up of a complex system of delicate and synchronous parts, it’s easy to take this vital sense for granted.

If you or a loved one suffer from hearing loss, you’re not alone. If fact, the World Health Organization estimates that 360 people worldwide have “disabling hearing loss”. Ortiz Hearing Center is so confident in their ability to improve your life through better hearing, we encourage our patients to take home pair of hearing instruments and try them for two weeks with no obligation. Wear them at church, at your favorite restaurant or just relaxing at home with family and friends.

City of Morris to start road and sewer projects

projects came in at $206,862.

Work being done with this project includes grinding and resurfacing Pine Street between Main and Jackson streets, Hubert Drive, as well as some alleyways.

In addition to the road closings required for the two street projects, major road work on Fremont Avenue between Vine and Nettle streets will see Fremont closed later this month. The work on Fremont is to address the unfunded mandated work by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for the longterm control plan for the sewer.

Years ago, most municipalities’ sewer lines went directly into rivers or creeks.

As health regulations have required of all communities, the city constructed a sewage treatment plant to treat the sanitary sewer flow before it eventually enters the Illinois River. Laws now require sanitary and storm sewers to be separate. During heavy rains, though, sewer lines can overflow, and the overflow discharges directly into creeks and rivers.

The IEPA is no longer allowing this.

Kopczick said the work on Fremont is extensive and will require the road to be closed until it’s completed.

MORRIS – Bids for road and alley work around Morris have been received.

The low bidder, D Construction, was awarded the bid for the motor fuel tax street projects and general fund street maintenance projects scheduled for this year.

The general fund work was bid together with seven other area entities including Big R, Illinois Truck & Equipment, and Morris Township, to save money for all those needing work done. The Morris City Council voted to approve the bids, 7-0, during Monday’s meeting.

“The bid was for just over $559,000 with the city portion amounting to $273,548,” Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said. “We bid together with these other entities to save the city money.”

The work to be done includes a path around the Fields of Saratoga Park; grinding and resurfacing of Benton Street between Liberty and Fulton streets; and on Chapin Street between Liberty and Wauponsee streets, as well as other various patching projects.

Morris Summer Concert Series kicks off If you go

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Beautiful, summerlike weather brought people out in droves the evening of June 2 for the opening night of the Morris Summer Concert Series, featuring rock’n’roll music from the ’50s and ’60s.

The Neverly Brothers bridged the gap between 1950s rockabilly and early 1960s British invasion as they performed a live show that got people up and dancing on the sidewalk in front of the Grundy County Courthouse.

“It’s a nice way to give back to the community,” Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said. “The concert series will offer a variety of music and we hope people will come out.”

This marks the 16th year for the series, and Kopczick said he can’t think of a better way to spend an evening in downtown Morris.

“It’s nice to grab a lawn chair, sit down with a neighbor, and catch up,” he said. “The weather tonight is perfect for it.”

As soon as the first song started, people grabbed their dates and started dancing to music many said takes them back to their youth. Even kids joined in, with parents chasing them as

n June 16 – 6:30 p.m., Ann Stewart and the Banjo Buddies Dixieland Band n June 30 – 6:30 p.m., Jonathan Devin and New Country n July 14 – 6:30 p.m., River Road Trio n July 28 – 6:30 p.m., The Rockin’ Fenderskirts n Aug. 11 – 6:30 p.m., The Del Bergeson Orchestra

“It’s so nice to take a ride, grab a bite to eat and then enjoy the beautiful weather as we listen to music we enjoy.”

Kay Johnson Ottawa resident

they danced and clapped to the music before dashing off down the sidewalk.

“We come every year to listen to the bands,” Kay Johnson of Ottawa said.

“It’s so nice to take a ride, grab a bite to eat and then enjoy the beautiful weather as we listen to music we enjoy.”

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

The Neverly Brothers perform hits from the 1950s and 1960s Thursday night on the courthouse lawn.

The band performed songs made famous by Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and The Beatles.

The events, held on several Thursday evenings throughout the summer, are free to the public. They are paid for by the city of Morris with the cooperation of the Grundy County Sheriff’s

office, which allows the city to use the courthouse lawn.

Those planning on attending should bring lawn chairs or blankets. In case of inclement weather – be it rain, high heat or high humidity – Kopczick said the concert will be held in the auditorium at Morris Community High School.

the export of agricultural commodities, with $8.2 billion worth of goods shipped to other countries, according to Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Keeping costs down and yields up helps local farmers feed the worldwide demand. The exports from Illinois account for 6 percent of all United States agricultural exports.

To keep records and maps straight, Kodat said each field he farms is given an individual name in his GPS software.

When he pulls into a field, he can pull

up the location’s name and a map generates on the screen, along with all the previous data stored with it.

When harvest time comes around, he will remove the computer screens and install them into his combine so the data come with him. The computer will know where every seed was planted and will record the yield and the moisture of the crops being harvested.

Boucher said it is exciting to see new technology come to the farm, and with those technological advancements, today’s farmers will continue to be able to feed more people with less environmental impact and in a more productive manner.

OPINIONS

Near the top of any list of Illinois government’s many problems is that House Speaker Michael Madigan has made a decades-long game out of messing with the minds and the agendas of our governors.

If there’s one constant since 1983, it’s Madigan’s jiu-jitsu moves against whoever happens to be governor. Sometimes, he was wholly justified, but he often appears to do this simply because he can.

Understandably, all that can get on one’s nerves. Governors can start seeing nefarious plots where none actually exist – such as when Gov. Bruce Rauner recently shut down a leaders meeting after Senate President John Cullerton spitballed an idea about a stopgap budget to get the state past the election. Rauner thought at the time it was somehow a plot by Madigan to scuttle the nonbudget negotiations, even though Madigan said during the meeting that he didn’t support his fellow Democrat’s idea.

I do give Rauner some credit. The governor eventually flip-flopped and decided to demand passage of a stopgap appropriations bill at almost literally the spring session’s 11th hour, completely reversing course from just a few days earlier when he rejected the same idea from Cullerton.

Madigan had told Rauner and the other leaders that he’d only support a stopgap proposal for this fiscal year, not next. So Rauner can now once again blame Madigan, with justification this time, if a stopgap isn’t approved and the government completely falls apart.

But the governor’s default position that Madigan and the Democrats are to blame for almost everything wrong under the sun also got him in a bit of trouble last week. Rauner embarked on a mostly downstate PR tour designed to loudly blame the Democrats for their inability to yet again close a deal on the budget and his economic reforms.

During that tour, Rauner accused Democrats of shying away from “tough votes” on issues such as Exelon’s corporate bailout, according to the Quad-City Times. Exelon had just announced it was closing two downstate nuclear power plants because it couldn’t get its bailout legislation passed.

The bill simply isn’t soup yet. Yes, negotiators got closer than they ever did in the spring session’s final days.

But the interests that weren’t at the negotiating table have yet to have their

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller say. The only way a massive corporate subsidy for an otherwise fabulously profitable company can be passed is if all four legislative leaders and the governor are pulling in the same direction. And that can’t happen until all stakeholders have their say.

Without that progress, voting to hike electricity rates on just about everybody to save some jobs is both legislative and political stupidity.

Not to mention that one of those districts with a nuke plant targeted for closure is represented by Republican Rep. Bill Mitchell. I happen to admire the guy for his survival skills, but he has made a career out of railing against welfare and demanding that Chicago secede from the state. To bail out his district while the governor publicly fumes on an almost daily basis about not wanting to help Chicago’s fiscally bereft public school system is unrealistic in the extreme.

And despite saying that he has “focused” on this problem for “quite a while,” and was “in there fighting hard,” Rauner never once mentioned Exelon’s legislation at the leaders meetings. His staff also reportedly waved off an inquiry by House Democratic staff about where the governor stood. As the Quad-City Times noted in an editorial, Rauner never made any sort of firm public commitment to the proposal except to have his staff say the matter was “under review.”

This Exelon finger-pointing put the governor’s gamesmanship on display.

He’s never to blame. He’s just a helpless victim of the Democrats.

If the governor has any mandate at all from the voters, it’s to “Shake up Springfield,” as he endlessly promised during the campaign. It was, by far, the defining “issue” for candidate Rauner.

And nobody personifies “Springfield” in voters’ minds more than Madigan.

To constantly portray himself as powerless to stop Madigan’s sorcery is essentially an admission of failure.

One day, people are gonna catch on to this.

Working to positively change ‘the system’

Have you ever wished you could change “the system?”

My guess is everyone reading this has said that at some time about some system for some reason. In most cases, none of us alone will change “the system.”

Instead, it takes the cooperation and collaboration of many to see change.

The Grundy Partnership for Children has been around for more than a decade, although not always under the same name, trying to ensure that the children of Grundy County are prepared for lifelong learning and to address early childhood care and education issues.

GPC is made up of mainly individuals who work with our young children ages birth to 5 years old.

During the last two years, this group has struggled to make headway for a variety of reasons.

In December 2015 the group decided to “merge” with the Will County All Our Kids Network for a short time since the majority of GPC members were already involved with the

VIEWS Devan Gagliardo Will County AOK because they serve both counties.

Soon after joining forces with Will County AOK, they were given the opportunity to take part in a free systems change training called Able Change Framework.

This framework was developed at Michigan State University and has been used in Michigan to bring change to “the system” in a variety of sectors.

I have been lucky enough to be involved in this training as part of the Will County AOK. As you can imagine, change doesn’t happen overnight and neither does the legwork to make the changes.

Our team of six has been working together since February to begin the process of change, starting by attend-

ing a two-day training on the Able Change Framework.

During these two days, we choose the problem – children are not socially and emotionally ready for kindergarten – we wish to be solved in the early childhood sector.

After that training we hit the ground running, collecting data and analyzing the data with the larger Will County AOK group.

Just last week, the team spent another two days at a second training where the focus was really looking at the root causes of why children are not kindergarten ready and beginning to create strategies to fix these problems.

Two full days of working on an issue and its root causes can leave you wishing there was a magic wand that could fix it all with one wave!

We still have one more two-day training this fall and a whole lot of work to do in between to collect more data, to better understand why children are not kindergarten ready, and to begin implementing strategies for change.

As I said earlier, many of the GPC members are also members of Will County AOK; therefore, many of the issues we are working on with the Able Change Framework are similar to issues Grundy County has.

The plan is to duplicate the work we are doing in Will County in Grundy County.

The team fully understands the issues may not be identical, but we at least have a process in place to better understand the needs of Grundy County as it pertains to early childhood care and education.

As we near the time when we can begin working on issues in Grundy County, we will be reaching out to local partners and stakeholders for assistance, information and support.

If you are someone who previously was not involved with GPC but would like to be moving forward, contact Devan at 815-941-0852 or devan@cfgrundycounty.com.

MORRIS – The anticipation that has been building for the arrival of Greenhouse’s medical marijuana dispensary came to an end last week when the ribbon was cut on the facility and it opened for business.

The new facility saw Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick break out a huge pair of scissors outside the former Rockwell Inn west of Morris on Route 6 to officially welcome the dispensary to Morris.

The facility opened its doors at 11 a.m.

June 1.

The opening marks the first time that medical marijuana will be available in either Grundy or Kendall counties, and Greenhouse is the only dispensary to serve those two counties. Patients must obtain a state ID card through a physician in order to buy marijuana from the facility.

However, there are two sides to the business at Greenhouse, with the nonmarijuana side offering general health and wellness.

“It’s very exciting,” Greenhouse principal and Chief Operating Officer Matt Darin said. “We are excited to be able to bring this type of facility to the residents of Grundy and Kendall counties.

Our goal is to get the people the help they need.”

Darin also noted that a range of services designed to help maintain a

in Deerfield and Mokena, which have been open since January. They are hoping for the same type of success in Morris.

“This facility is actually quite a bit larger than our other two,” Darin said.

“This one has about 6,000 square feet and the other two are between 3,500 and 4,000.

“The other two haven’t had a big flood of patients, but they have grown incrementally since they opened. We hope that as we get familiar with the town and the doctors here, that we have the same thing.”

Kahn noted that any doctor licensed to prescribe narcotics can write a prescription for medical marijuana. However, a patient must have a card from the state that is registered to a particular facility in order to buy it there.

“You have to be registered here,” he said. “You can’t go pick some up in Ottawa, then come here, then go to Mokena. If you need to change where you are registered, then you can go online and change your registration and within 24 hours, you can go to your new dispensary. So if someone lives here and has had to be registered in Ottawa up until now, they can change their registration to here and not have to travel so much.”

There also is a provision that allows a caregiver to pick up medicine for a patient who may be unable to make it into the facility. For information, call Shelley Saffrin at 847-924-6761.

aschier@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – The Lone Star Restaurant and Lounge building in Channahon was demolished this week, more than six months after it was damaged in a fire.

Now the site’s future remains unclear, but Lone Star ownership indicated Tuesday there is hope for some sort of reopening.

Demolition of the structure began Monday and was expected to be completed Tuesday, Channahon Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher said.

Lone Star owner Themis Sparagis said there are tentative plans for a restaurant at the 25208 W. Eames St. site, but stressed that nothing is final.

“We’re going to put something there,”

he said.

Sparagis thanked the community members who visited the site to offer support during the demolition.

“This is my blood,” he said.

Moorman Schumacher said that since the fire she has been frequently asked about the fate of the restaurant, which has been in Channahon nearly four decades.

“It would sort of be like going home for everyone,” she said of a potential reopening.

The fire occurred Oct. 7, when firefighters spent about two hours battling the blaze, which caused a corner of the building’s roof to collapse and left smoke, heat and water damage throughout the structure.

Channahon Fire Chief John Petrakis said Tuesday that the estimated total loss from the fire was $1 million and that

MORRIS – It was a day for reigning champions to show their stuff, and for challengers to try to knock them off their respective perches.

The annual hot dog-eating contest that kicks off the Brown Bag Friday series on the Grundy County Courthouse lawn took place Friday, along with the fundraising competition that goes with it. The event was hosted

by Grundy County National Bank and WCSJ Radio.

David Valdivia, Morris High School boys soccer coach, won the eating contest in an eat-off against the YMCA’s Ian Stewart, while Christina Van Yperen of the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce retained her fundraising title. More than $7,600 was collected for various Grundy County charities.

County vendors inform area seniors

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Tables were set up, giveaways sitting on tables while area seniors made their way around the Rezin Senior Fair on Tuesday morning at Saratoga School in Morris.

Whether they wanted to learn about in home care services, or where to drop off unused prescriptions, vendors were there to help guide them.

“I love it,” said Sandra MacAdams of Morris. “It’s good to know what is available and to hear about some of it.”

She said she liked the one-stop-shop method of having all the various vendors under one roof.

“The vendors are so happy and helpful,” she said. “There is so much here, it’s just blowing my mind.”

The fact that vendors are providing information to visitors is the reason state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, hosts the fair each year in the community.

“It’s a great event,” Rezin said. “It’s always nice to come to the senior fair and meet people in the community.

They can get everything from blood tests to blood pressure done here.”

This marks the fifth year the senior fair has been hosted in Grundy County.

Although one participant joked with Grundy County Chief Deputy Coroner Christina Hintze-Symoniak that she wasn’t quite ready for her services, she was delighted to learn more about the disposal of medications through the coroner’s office, which is exactly the information they were looking for.

Vendors such as Grundy Community Volunteer Hospice, the Grundy

Summer events underway at Morris YMCA Several camps available for area children

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – School is out for summer, and local kids and their parents are looking for activities to keep them busy.

The Morris YMCA still is accepting registration for many of its summer events, offering classes to cover a range of activities, from art to wrestling.

“We’ve added an additional fishing camp because it has been so popular,” family and community engagement

director Sarah Porzel said. “The kids’ corner has earlier hours and we have some new classes.”

One of the new classes this summer is speed camp, a class designed for kids ages 11 to 17.

The idea behind the class is to increase the students overall speed, no matter what sport interests them.

Ian Stewart, who joined the YMCA last summer to address health and wellness, said that, although the class started this week, registration will be left open until June 14 for those still

interested in joining in.

Porzel said another new camp this year is the wrestling camp for kids in kindergarten through sixth grade.

The program will be run by the Morris Community High School assistant varsity coach Matt Seidel and is open to all levels of experience.

Wrestling camp will focus on teaching the fundamentals of the sport, while also providing conditioning and skill development.

The summer schedule lists campers as having the opportunity to learn from two-time high school state champion and Northwestern University standout Mike Kimberlin, who will be

making an appearance at this year’s camp.

Disc golf is also making a return for the second year after a solid start last summer.

The camp will be held in August by Kevin Schramm, an avid disc golf player who will teach kids in kindergarten through eighth grade the basics of the game.

For kids not interested in sports, the Morris YMCA also will offer a new artist camp starting June 20 for kids ages 6 to 13.

For information, call 815-513-8080 or visit the YMCA online at www.jolietymca.org/category/morris.

Bernico named Morris Hospital Fire Starter for May SUBMITTED REPORT

always there to listen and lend a helping hand.”

Although Bernico believes her ICU background helps with the physical assessment of patients, she says that listening is a big part of her role as the Radiation Therapy Center’s only registered nurse.

“I kind of call myself a social worker nurse,” Bernico said. “My role involves a lot of talking and educating, and a lot of listening. I guess I’m one of those people others feel comfortable telling their story to.

“Patients seem to trust that I will get them what they need when possible.”

Morris Hospital Radiation Therapy Center supervisor Cassandra Worley has the unique opportunity to witness Bernico’s interactions with patients first hand.

“Sharon really treats the whole patients,” Worley said. “She spends time with them and listens to them. She is willing to do anything for our patients and puts her heart into what she does. If patients need anything, she is willing to go outside our department and reach for them. She’s just great.”

For Bernico, one of the most rewarding aspects of her job is knowing that patients trust her and the rest of the team.

“They put their lives in our hands.

MORRIS – Sharon Bernico of Ottawa was honored as Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers’ Fire Starter of the Month for May. A registered nurse at the Radiation Therapy Center of Morris Hospital, Bernico devotes her day to caring for cancer patients who are undergoing radiation treatment. She is described as a nurse with a big heart who is an excellent listener and truly cares about patients.

While some people dream of becoming a nurse from a very young age, Bernico started nursing school at age 38 because it seemed like the right move in her life at the time. After completing her degree, she worked in a nursing home and then at another hospital before coming to Morris Hospital in 2003 to work in the intensive care unit. A short time later, Bernico transferred to Morris Hospital’s Radiation Therapy Center, where she found her calling.

“Sharon truly strives to give 100 percent to all of our patients and makes sure each patient is treated with the greatest care and respect,” said Rachel Milton, a patient service representative at the Radiation Therapy Center. “From the moment a patient walks in and far beyond when they finish treatment, Sharon is

They trust us, but still realize we’re human,” said Bernico, who says she is touched when patients or their family members return to the Radiation Therapy Center months or even years after treatment to let the staff know how they’re doing.

For Bernico, it’s all about having the opportunity to make a difference.

“Hands down, Sharon is everything a

nurse should be and more,” Worley said.

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

As Fire Starter of the Month, Bernico 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.

Illinois Valley Industries enjoys a night of bowling SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – On May 26, Countywide Plumbing sponsored a bowling party at Echo Lanes for Illinois Valley Industries’ Community Living residents.

The party included bowling for two hours as well as pizza and pop. Twenty residents participated in the event.

“We truly appreciate this sponsorship from Countywide Plumbing,” Illinois Valley Industries Executive Director Kandy Cassetto said in a news release. “Budgets are tight, therefore funding is limited for fun activities like the one we had at Echo Lanes. It was so kind of Randy White to think of a way he could assist our residents that would bring some laughter and liveliness into their day.

“Countywide Plumbing has been a wonderful partner of ours for many years in addressing the many plumbing needs throughout our facilities.

For them to help our people have a night of fun was a truly unexpected and meaningful gift.”

“We have a lot teams coming in from all over the state, which is good,” Carey said. “We try to put teams together in pools that aren’t going to see each other all winter. We really try to not put teams that are in the same conference together in a pool if at all possible, but sometimes you can’t help it.

“One of the fun things about ours is that teams usually get to see teams they would never see otherwise.”

Like in past seasons, the Morris

team won’t tip off until the afternoon session. This allows Carey to make sure things are running smoothly before she has to enter coaching mode. The start times of 2, 4 and 6 p.m. also allow for more of the Morris parents to be able to come see their kids play. During the morning session, though, the Morris players won’t just be sitting around and relaxing. Carey will have them busy working scoreboards and score tables as well as concession stands.

MORRIS – Just when they thought it was safe to put their basketball shoes away for a while, the Morris girls basketball team is going to lace up again next week when the 20th edition of the Morris Ladies Shootout tips off at 8 a.m.

Tuesday.

“These shootouts are becoming more and more prevalent,” Morris coach and tournament director Kate Carey said.

“But we still have a full field of 32.”

The event will follow the same format it has in years past, with eight, four-team pools playing round-robin Tuesday. Results from Tuesday will dictate the bracket matchups for Wednesday’s action. Four games will start every hour on the hour between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday, with the Morris Community High School main gym and the three courts in the fieldhouse all being used. The championship game will be played Wednesday at noon in the MCHS main gym.

Teams and their pools are: • Pool 1 – Andrew, Coal City, Lincoln-Way East and East Aurora.

• Pool 2 – Lockport, Lincoln-Way West, West Aurora and Yorkville 1.

• Pool 3 – Plainfield South, Sycamore, Romeoville and LaSalle-Peru.

• Pool 4 – Minooka, Antioch, Ottawa and Yorkville 2.

• Pool 5 – Oswego, Plainfield North, Hononegah and Kaneland.

• Pool 6 – Morris, Canton, Joliet West and Danville.

• Pool 7 – DeKalb, Flora, United Township and Bloomington Central Catholic.

• Pool 8 – Metea Valley, Pleasant

sport athletes and some of them are three,” Carey said. “The only two days of the summer that basketball owns them is during the shootout. That’s fine with me. I like them playing other sports, but for these two days, we need them to work as well as play.”

The roster will be a bit on the lean side, as Carey noted that the varsity consists of eight players – Jasmine Cook, Ashley Hood, Megan Jurak, Madi Mayberry, Amanda Schmidt, Mya Shannon, Meghan Smith and Paige Valentine.

Shannon, a junior, and Smith, a senior, are each entering their third year of varsity competition, while most of the rest of the team got varsity time last year.

“It will be interesting to see how we adjust this year,” Carey said. “Mya and Meghan, we are really looking for them to grow into leadership roles. The others played a lot of varsity last year, so they should already be adjusted to the varsity game and it should be just picking up from where we left off last year.”

Carey also pointed out that the City of Morris deserves a bulk of the credit as the biggest sponsor, while they also get donations to the concession stand from Casey’s, Corleone’s and Turtle’s Tap and floor fans from Sun Belt Rental.

“And, along with the girls working, we have a lot of parent volunteers. We certainly couldn’t get by without them.

They are the backbone of the whole program.”

Those planning on attending the Morris Ladies Shootout are advised to park behind the high school in the fieldhouse parking lot or across the street in the Goold Park parking lot, as the Morris Fireman’s Carnival will be set up in the high school’s main parking lot.

44 TRACK AND FIELD

Minooka relay teams have big day at state

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Redemption was on the minds of several athletes who competed in relays at the recent IHSA boys track and field finals.

For those from Minooka, it was about making amends from the previous year, when the Indians didn’t make the awards stand in any relay after claiming nine medals during the previous four years.

The Indians went on to record their best state showing in two of their three relays.

Minooka turned in its best finish in the 400-meter relay, which was second to East. St. Louis by just .09 seconds. That relay consisted of junior Colin Marchio, senior Maceo Findlay, sophomore Brandon Adams and senior Justin Wolz, who all came back later to run in the 800-meter relay, which took third place.

The school’s previous best finishes in both relays were sixths in 2014.

“Last year didn’t go as well as we thought it would,” Findlay said. “We put in a lot of work so that we could make it to this point, where we were blessed to be able to stand on the podium and be all-state athletes. We used that pain as redemption so that we would come out hard, and that’s what we’ve been doing this year, and what this school plans to do in the future.”

The Indians were hoping to win the title in the 800-meter relay, but Neuqua prevailed and East St. Louis nipped Minooka at the wire to sneak in a third-place finish.

“I’ve never run with a better group of people,” Marchio said. “This will probably be my most memorable year in high school. This was a great experience and is really good for motivating us to want to get better and push ourselves through the hard times next year. It’s been a long season, and I’ve had to work my butt off without our actual sprint coach being here.”

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Minooka’s Matt Dlugopolski (center) takes the baton from Brandon Adams while competing in the 3A 1,600-meter relay May 28, during the IHSA Boys State Track Finals at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.

Wolz and Adams got back on the awards stand one final time as they were again bested by East St. Louis and Neuqua in the 1,600-meter relay.

Sophomore Aaron Arroyo took the baton from Wolz while Adams ran the third leg; and senior Matt Dlugopolski, who won a medal on the 800-me-

ter relay in 2014, finished up. They placed third and posted a new schoolbest time.

“I’ve just been trying to help everyone get a championship,” Adams said. “I’ve tried to do as much as I can so my teammates would be happy and I would be happy. To be able to race

against all of these good teams and good people pushes me harder so that I can do better.”

Those efforts played a big role in Minooka claiming seventh place with 29 points, which was its best-ever showing in the large-school meet, two places better than its 2011 finish.

STARS board approves dissolution of racing series SHAW MEDIA

MORRIS – A glance at the Grundy County Speedway’s schedule before the season started showed a busy slate of Friday night stock-car action throughout the season. However, the schedule was without its usual spattering of Saturday night

races featuring the Short Track Auto Racing Series (STARS).

That’s because the Board of Directors of the Short Track Auto Racing Series LLC unanimously approved May 31 the dissolution of STARS for various reasons at a board meeting.

The board noted in a news release that

STARS was unable to reach an agreement with the Grundy County Fair Board on a viable 2016 contract. The loss of sponsors and health issues with some of the management team also were factors.

“This decision was not an easy decision to make and we are saddened that STARS will not be part of the 2016 season

in this area,” the board said in the news release. “We want to thank all of our sponsors, team owners, competitors in all divisions, our track help, and our fans for their support in the past five years.”

Numerous attempts to reach STARS officials for additional comment were not successful.

it until the finish. Kevin Murphy, Matt Clemens, Kenny Benson, Aaron Shelton, John Senerchia, Luke Baldwin, Marty McKinney and Jim Kachel finished in the top 10.

Senerchia grabbed the lead midway through the 25-lap Street Stock feature and held onto it until the end, but not without some competition.

Senerchia finished just .307 seconds ahead of second-place Christy Penrod and .579 ahead of third-place Tim Stewart. Finishing out the top 10 in that race were Rick Dawson, Craig Matteson, Bill Serviss, Zach Sontag, Justin Mikel, Cheryl Hryn and Spencer Leake.

In the 15-lap 4-cylinder feature, Michael Tobuch, starting from the seventh slot, took over the lead with two laps remaining from Derick Vertheen and won by a narrow .356-second mar-

gin. Following Vertheen in the top 10 were Scott Ingram, Tommy Gilmore, Ricky Wilson, Dan Schmeissing, Mac Hastings, Jeff Law, Nick Clubb and Dylan Marshall.

Racing continues every Friday night at Grundy County Speedway, at Route 47 just north of Morris at the Grundy County Fairgrounds. Friday night is Ladies Night, with ladies getting in for half price. It will feature a full program of Late Model, Mid-American, Street Stock and Pure Stock racing.

Pits open at 4 p.m., with practice starting at 5 p.m. The stands open at 5:30 p.m., qualifying begins at 6:45 p.m. and the first race is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. The cost is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, $5 for kids ages 17 to 12, and children age 11 and younger enter for free.

MORRIS – In Friday night’s 46lap Late Model feature at the Grundy County Speedway, Brian Tedeshi held the lead after 45 laps.

Eddie Hoffman Jr., on the other hand, only led for one.

Fortunately for Hoffman, that lead was at the end of the final lap, when he came from behind to edge Tedeshi by a scant 0.110 seconds to claim the feature title.

Tedeshi started the race in the pole position and led lap after lap until the final circuit.

Hoffman, meanwhile, started in the fifth position before climbing to fourth after five laps, third after 10 and second after 32.

He finally got around Tedeshi in the final lap and the two finished neck-and-

neck at the finish line, with Hoffman taking the checkered flag.

Andy Jones took third place, with James Gregat fourth and Anthony Danta fifth. Larry Schuler David Einhaus, John Nutley, Tony Scalpelli and Dean Patterson rounded out the top 10.

A similar finish, although one not quite as dramatic, took place in the 25lap Mid-American feature, as Rod Vandermeier Jr. did not lead until the final three laps in defeating Cody Clubb.

Clubb and Vandermeier started sixth and seventh, respectively, and steadily made their way through the leaders.

Race leader John Ventrello, who had started in the pole position and led the first 22 laps, and second-place Kevin Gentile made contact and were sent to the back of the pack for the restart. Vandermeier Jr. then took the lead from Clubb on the restart and held

Don’t like to camp? Try glamping instead What do you think of when I mention the word “camping?” No matter what images and emotions bounce to the forefront of your consciousness, that single word conjures up strong feelings.

Some people love the word. They plan and anticipate getting into the outdoors and away from the stresses of the life we live every day.

They picture crisp mornings, enjoying the sunrise while holding a fresh cup of campfire coffee.

A day without the constraints of a clock demanding our constant attention makes camping relaxing and refreshing.

Others hate the word. They think of sweaty tents, thousands of bugs, and no luxuries of modern life.

Images of perspiration-soaked pillows sticking to your cheek as you endlessly flop from one position to another fill our minds.

Or maybe freezing nights with no thermostat to cut the chill.

No worries. There may be a happy middle ground that satisfies almost everyone.

Have you heard of glamping? If that strange mashing together of

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers letters is new to you, it is a combination of the words “glamorous” and “camping.”

You guessed it, it means camping without the loss of everyday luxuries.

The idea originated overseas and has jumped the Atlantic and taken hold of North America.

Glamping still involves getting into the countryside and away from the distractions of urban life.

The settings are indeed rural, nestled into Mother Nature, but that is where the similarity to traditional camping ends.

A glampground may include such dwellings as a tent, teepee, treehouse, hut, cottage, barn, trailer or a villa.

Each of these traditionally rustic habitats houses luxury items that at first seem out of place, but upon second glance, are both intriguing

and alluring.

Picture a clawfoot tub in the middle of a tent, or how about a hot tub suspended in a treehouse. Or maybe a butler serving up exotic local cuisine as you gaze upon the African savanna.

Each of these are realities when you enter the world of glamping.

It is difficult to put into words the exotic luxury that glamping epitomizes.

If you take a few minutes and Google the keyword glamping, thousands of images will fill your computer screen.

The blending of modern conveniences with scenic beauty is both interesting and captivating.

One of the more comprehensive sites I found on the topic is entitled www.glamping.com.

From this location, you can learn about the trend, follow its origins, and even view hundreds of properties around the world that will satisfy your glamping curiosity. As with anything luxurious, glamping is a far cry from the nightly fees for traditional campgrounds.

I found glampsites that ranged

from $100 per night to more than $400 a night. They included locations that put you in a hut over the bluest Caribbean waters you can image. I also found tents suspended along alpine bluffs providing breathtaking views.

I am intrigued and willing to give it a shot.

The slogan from the glamping. com website I think sums it up best: “Don’t go to the destination, be a part of the destination.”

The glamping resorts specialize in open living spaces that flow seamlessly from indoors to outdoors.

Having a glass of wine in the canopy of a South American rainforest is a memory that surely would last a lifetime.

Be on the lookout for friends and family talking about glamping. Our eco-conscious society we live in will support this outdoor trend for some time.

Investigate it, try it out, and enjoy a whole new outdoor experience.

Morris grad John Darlington guides Plainfield North into Class 4A baseball Final Four

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media Correspondent CRESTWOOD – Plainfield North’s baseball team scored a trip to Silver Cross Field on Monday night. The Tigers beat St. Laurence, 2-0, in a Class 4A Crestwood Super-Sectional game at Standard Bank Stadium that felt much closer, but for the nine-strikeout performance of left-hander Tyler Garrity.

Garrity’s first four strikeouts were in succession, including the Vikings’ lineup in the second inning. Before and after that, St. Laurence players could barely hit the ball out of the infield. He yielded only a single to left field and a pair of fly balls in 88 pitches across seven innings.

“To be honest, he’s pitched great for us all year,” said Tigers coach John Darlington, who graduated from Mor-

He struck out Verta in the top of coached the baseball team at MCHS by Verta in the third inning – in that the sixth for his seventh strikeout. from 2002 through 2005. “We just haven’t used him. We went with our other two guys. We felt, ‘Let’s throw a lefty at them and give them something different to look at.’ Then he got in a groove and he was really unhittable for a while there.

He was outstanding.”

SIMPLE & SAVORY:

Homemade sushi easy with surimi

FAMILY FEATURES

Sushi is a popular choice for a night out with friends or a romantic date night, but good sushi can also break the bank. If you’re looking for a way to indulge your sushi cravings while sticking to your monthly budget, surimi seafood is a great alternative to raw seafood that you can prepare right at home.

Surimi is a fully cooked Japanese seafood ingredient, so it’s a great introduction for those new to sushi. Made from premium wild Alaskan pollock – a highly-sustainable whitefish – and real snow crab, surimi is a good source of protein and is more cost effective than cuts of raw seafood.

Made with Crab Delights by blogger Nicole Harris of Wonky Wonderful, you can enjoy these Homemade California Roll Sushi Stacks with friends, family or a date.

Find more delicious surimi seafood recipes at louiskemp.com.
