Let us know who your heroes are

It should be an easy thing to think about during this time of the year.

It seems that when the weather warms up, so does the talk about heroes.

There’s Mother’s Day in the middle of May, and who doesn’t have at least a little hero worship in their heart for their mom?

Memorial Day, at the end of May, is the the unofficial start of summer, and we talk about heroes who gave their all on that day. Then comes Flag Day, where we honor the American flag and the heroes who have defended it over the years, and Father’s Day, which honors most little boys’ first heroes, came and went last week.

Coming soon, we have Independence Day, when we will again honor fallen heroes of the past who fought for the freedoms we hold dear and – all too often, unfortunately – take for granted.

Everyone has an everyday hero in his or her life, as well as reasons why those people have earned that designation. One of mine will always be my late sister, Suzie, who showed me at an early age that you could live a full life and be happy – even if

VIEWS Rob Oesterle you weren’t dealt the greatest of hands.

Another is my wife, Jenni, for reasons I am not comfortable mentioning in print, but I want her to know that she inspires me every day. And J.K. Simmons because, well, he’s J.K. Simmons.

So, please, read the following paragraphs and let us know who your everyday heroes are and why. If you feel so strongly as to consider them a hero, then others should hear about it.

We still are seeking nominations for this year’s Everyday Hero’s initiative from the Morris Herald-News and The Joliet Herald-News.

An Everyday Hero is that person who gives without expecting any recognition or accolades for doing so – those who selflessly donate their time and talents

LOOKING UP

to help those in need or to better their community.

We’re looking to bestow Everyday Hero awards on at least a dozen special people in Grundy and Will counties. Nominees must be at least 13 years old, and live or work in either Grundy or Will counties.

Submit the name, hometown and workplace of your nominee, along with a letter of 300 or fewer words, describing why your nominee deserves the honor.

Our awards breakfast is scheduled for Sept. 9 at the Joliet Country Club, and we’ll devote a special section in the Sept.

11 Sunday edition to our recipients.

Applications will be accepted through July 15 at www.theherald-news.com/ forms/everyday-heroes or mail it to: The Herald-News, Attn: Everyday Heroes, 2175 Oneida St., Joliet, IL 60435. For information, call Projects and Events Manager Sarah Dilg at 815-280-4113.

Coal City’s ongoing journey to rebuild hometown 1 year after tornado

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com

and HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – If there’s one thing Malinda Marvick wants people to know about the yellow brick road in front of the new house her family built in Coal City, it’s that it is intended to be inspirational.

Marvick, a self-described daddy’s girl, said her father loved everything about “The Wizard of Oz,” from the roar of the lion to the Wicked Witch of the West melting. He shared his love with his grandchildren as well, and Malinda wants them to remember their grandfather when they leave their new home to go about their daily life.

Her father, Larry Farmer, died after lung cancer surgery less than two weeks after the June 22, 2015, tornado destroyed the Coal City home she lived in with her husband, Steven Marvick, and the couple’s two children.

“I just wanted to do something to honor my dad,” Malinda said of the road. “I’m glad he tried the surgery.

He fought really hard.”

As the family rebuilt and the finishing touches were being added, work began on the front lawn. A yellow spiral starts in the front yard and leads up to the front door and across to the driveway.

Malinda said the yellow brick road that took Dorothy through Oz to the great and powerful wizard – where she eventually learned she had the power to go home all along – is meant as a sign of hope. She hopes that those driving past will see the same inspiration she does.

Hope was hard to come by around this time last year.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Malinda Marvick painted the walkway to her home yellow in honor of her father, who was a fan of “The Wizard of Oz.” Her father, Larry Farmer, died after lung cancer surgery less than two weeks after the June 22, 2015, tornado destroyed the Coal City home she lived in with her husband, Steven Marvick, and the couple’s two children.

Larry, also of Coal City, was diagnosed with lung cancer and given the option to either live three to five years, or surgery to remove his right lung.

He had the surgery June 11 to remove the cancerous lung. He died at 4 a.m.

July 4 at the nursing home where he was recuperating.

It was the second life-altering moment in two weeks for the Marvick family, after the EF3 tornado struck

114 W. North St., Morris (815) 942-0017

and destroyed Malinda’s and Steve’s home on Broadway Street.

The tornado brought with it 160 mph winds and was the most powerful to hit the region since the August 1990 tornado in Plainfield, according to the National Weather Service.

It was on the ground for at least 161⁄2 miles with a peak width of threefourths of a mile. It swept through portions of Coal City, Carbon Hill and

Braidwood before ending its path of destruction on Berta Road.

The tornado forced the Marvick family to live in their recreational trailer and then eventually a rental in Braidwood. Today, the family is back in the recreational trailer while they await final inspection and permission from the village to move home.

Liberty 5K Run/Walk returns July 3 to Morris If you go

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – It might be hot, and it might be on a weekend this year, but don’t expect the turnout at the seventh annual Liberty 5K Run/Walk to see a big drop in numbers.

Julie Applegate of the Morris Downtown Development Partnership expects to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 runners at the event, which begins at 7:15 p.m. July 3 at Liberty and Jefferson streets.

Before the main event, the onefourth-mile kids’ run for those 8 and younger is set to start at 6:30 p.m., and the half-mile kids’ run for those 9 to 13 will begin at 6:45 p.m.

The race will start outside of Ebbey George’s, and the pub will offer free beer to runners after the race. The course will take runners throughout Morris before returning to Ebbey George’s.

“It’s a good way for us to showcase downtown Morris and other parts of the town,” Applegate said. “They will be running through some nice neighborhoods and through Goold Park.

Hopefully, some people that come in from out of town will remember how nice the town looks while they are run-

Runners take off during the start of the Liberty 5K Walk/Run in downtown Morris on July 3, 2015. This year’s event will be held Sunday, July 3. ning and decide to come back and do some shopping and give the town some business.

“And it’s a little later in the day, so it shouldn’t interfere with cookouts and it still leaves time to go see the fireworks afterward.”

Applegate also said that, while patriotic dress isn’t mandatory, there are

prizes in the kids’ divisions for most patriotic costume.

“That’s always really fun,” she said.

“The kids really get into dressing patriotically. And a lot of the parents do, too.”

Applegate said the proceeds will go to a to-be-determined military-oriented charity. She also doesn’t expect the

high July temperatures to keep runners away.

“The best turnout we had was a year when it was 100 degrees,” she said.

“That doesn’t seem to bother the people who want to enter.”

To be one of those people, visit downtownmorris.com/event/liberty-5k-runwalk to download a registration form; a map of the course also is available there.

The registration fee is $25 before June 26 and $30 from June 26 until race day. It is $5 for kids. There will be a pre-race packet pickup party June 26 at Ebbey George’s.

Awards will be given to the overall top three finishers, male and female; top three male and female veteran/ military; top three male and female in each age division; overall male and female in one-fourth mile and half-mile kids’ runs and for the most patriotic participant in the kids’ runs.

Hundreds take part in annual Freedom Run

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MARSEILLES – With a large “Beirut Veterans” on the back of his black leather motorcycle jacket, Jeff Handy of Russiaville, Indiana, paid his respects Saturday to several U.S. Marine Corps friends he served with who died during the peacekeeping effort in Lebanon in the 1980s.

Handy was one of hundreds of riders who participated in the Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run, which started at the Grundy County Fairgrounds in Morris and ended at the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial in Marseilles.

The trek was his first.

“There were 270 killed during the peacekeeping mission in ’82 to ’84,” he said. “Two hundred forty-one died in the barracks. ... We lost half a platoon of engineers in that. Several guys I knew.”

Handy had lived in those barracks just a short time before Oct. 23, 1983, when a terrorist truck bomb killed 241 U.S. servicemen and injured 100 more while they slept.

“I wanted to see this monument and participate in the ride,” he said.

Handy used a pencil to shade his friends’ names onto pieces of paper. He was not alone. Some bikers visited the wall to spend some quiet time with the etched names of their fallen loved ones.

Rich and Emily Hansen went to Marseilles on Friday night to pay respects to their son, James Hansen, a senior airman in the Air Force, who was killed in Iraq on Sept. 15, 2010. They are “Gold Star Families,” or those who lost family members who were active-duty military.

They trailered their motorcycles from Pennsylvania to Michigan, where they met up with friends and rode their

“We wanted to honor him and honor all the other fallen,” Rich said. “To pay respects and to celebrate the lives of the fallen because you want them to be remembered.”

This is the third year the Hansens have gone on the run. The front of their Spyder motorcycle was painted with the head of a bald eagle, and the left rear had their son’s name painted alongside

a pair of drumsticks and his dog tags.

Tom “Big Daddy” Yarber, organizer of the Motorcycle Freedom Run, called Saturday’s event “awesome,” and said the large turnout included Gov. Bruce Rauner, who spoke in Morris that morning and rode his motorcycle with the run, and state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris. He said he began efforts to build the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial because he knew what it would mean to

the families.

“I am a Gold Star Family,” Yarber said. “My brother was killed in Vietnam in 1968. I know what the Vietnam Wall does for my family. ... [The Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial] touches our hearts, and it’s a healing process for our Gold Star families. ... It’s a magical place.”

Saturday’s ceremony included a 21gun salute and the playing of taps.

JJC approves new Morris location for education center

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The new location for the Joliet Junior College Morris Education Center was approved last week by board trustees.

College officials have proposed moving the Morris location from 1715 N. Division St. to the soon-to-be empty Shabbona Middle School, which is about a mile away. When the proposal was made at the May 31 workshop meeting, board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich said he wanted to see the projection of total costs and specific course offerings.

He said at the June 14 meeting that he

had reservations the new location could come close to a “cost recovery” item. He asked whether Randall Fletcher, academic affairs vice president, would be responsible for revenue generation out of the new facility, and JJC interim President Judy Mitchell said yes.

Trustee Michael O’Connell said the current location for the center is costing JJC about $90,000 a year and the new place would be $36,000 at the most.

“I think it’s a win-win all over,” O’Connell said.

Fletcher said many of the college’s career certificate programs lend themselves to the new location and can allow for lecture-type classes. He said it’s pos-

sible the college can market full degree programs at the new location.

All trustees voted to approve the lease for the Shabbona Middle School location. Trustee Daniel O’Connell and Student Trustee Kathleen Duong were absent. The proponents of the new location were Caroline Portlock, JJC workforce development director; and Marsha McCormick, JJC extended campuses and high school relations director.

Portlock had said to the trustees that part of the reason the new location would be beneficial is that it presents more opportunities to increase and enhance JJC’s image. The new location would also allow for a tutoring and testing area, six

classrooms and two computer labs. It also would be closer to the Grundy Area Vocational Center and Morris Community High School.

Enrollment is projected to increase at the new location as well, from 300 to 600 students. The number of classrooms would increase from four to eight and computer labs from one to two.

According to JJC’s website, the current Morris Education Center opened in August 2001 and provides three semismart rooms, a computer lab, seating for 24 students in each of its rooms, offers credit and noncredit classes and English as a Second Language and General Education Development programs.

panies and nonprofit organizations, the board visited room rental rates for Shabbona Middle School property.

After discussion, the measure was tabled for further discussion on the for-profit rates in order to be comparable to going rates for commercial rent in Morris.

“It’s important to attempt to rent as much space in the building as we can to benefit the taxpayers,” Gegenheimer said.

It was approved, with Johnston absent, to offer Joliet Junior College a nonprofit rate of $6 a square foot and the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative an agreed rate for each child, for the six to eight rooms each will rent for an approximate $100,000 profit a year.

Gegenheimer said the locations of the JJC classrooms have been mapped where students will not have direct access to the business portion of the building, and the public will not have direct access to the school classrooms.

Gegenheimer said his farewells to the board and public as his interim position has come to an end. Shannon Dudek is set to will take over July 1 as District 54 superintendent.

MORRIS – Further preparations for the Shabbona Middle School and White Oak Elementary merger were made Monday at the Morris Elementary School District 54 board meeting.

The board worked with Studio GC Architecture in Chicago to devise a better flow plan during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times due to neighbor complaints about extensive traffic on the roads around White Oak Elementary, primarily on Dupont Avenue.

Interim Superintendent Al Gegenheimer explained that currently parents drop off students in front, which creates congestion of 50 to 60 cars down Dupont Avenue.

The new proposal, which was approved by all present with board Secretary Joannie Johnston absent, will have parents drive down Partridge Lane and turn onto the fire lane around the back of the school property.

The buses will drop off in front of the building, which was tested to make sure buses could make the tight turns.

“We can place 58 cars around the back of the building, and we usually have 50 to 60 cars in line at one time, so it fits. However, it used to be kindergarten through fifth grade at one time, and now with the schedule it will be kindergarten through fourth grade at one time and fifth through eighth grade at one time, so we will have one less grade in the earlier time,” Gegenheimer said.

Parents will be notified by the school about the change.

After interest from for-profit com-

“It’s important to attempt to rent as much space in the building as we can to benefit the taxpayers.”

Republicans seek applicants to fill Anthony’s seat Interested candidates have until July 1

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The 75th District Republican Appointment Committee will accept applications for the appointment for that seat in the Illinois House Representative District to fill the vacancy due to the resignation of state Rep. John Anthony, R-Joliet.

Anthony resigned Friday to take a position as executive assistant to the director of the Illinois Department of Corrections.

He had held the seat since August 2013, when he was appointed to be the 75th District’s representative when previous state Rep. Pam Roth, R-Morris, stepped down when she moved to

Texas.

“It is with a heart full of gratitude to the people of Kendall, Grundy, LaSalle and Will counties that I announce my resignation from the Illinois House of Representatives. It has been the greatest honor of my career to serve our community in the General Assembly the past three years,” Anthony said in a news release issued Sunday.

Candidates who would like to be considered for the appointment should file with the committee on or before 5 p.m. July 1, according to a news release issued Monday night by the committee. Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter has publicly said he is considering seeking to fill the seat Anthony is leaving.

The selected candidate will serve through January, the remainder of Anthony’s term, and be responsible for representing the interests of residents in parts of Will, Grundy, Kendall and LaSalle counties.

Area Republican officials have said the person chosen also will be caucused onto the November ballot to face Democrat Martha Shugart in the general election.

Candidates can get a questionnaire from LaSalle County Republican Chairman Don Jensen, Will County Republican Chairwoman Kathy Havel, Kendall County Republican Chairman James Marter or Grundy County Republican Chairman Aren Hansen.

“The appointment committee encourages everyone interested in the position to apply,” Hansen said Monday. “This will be an open process. We

have a lot of talent in the 75th District, and we look forward to taking applications.”

Hansen said the committee will interview candidates it selects.

The application for the position should include a cover letter, the completed questionnaire and any other pertinent information such as a résumé or curriculum vitae.

Applications should be sent to Don Jensen, LaSalle County GOP Chairman, Secretary of Appointment Committee, P.O. Box 863, Ottawa, IL 61350 or emailed to 75thappointment@gmail. com.

Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, have resided in the 75th District for the last two years, be a registered voter, be a member of the Republican Party, have never been convicted of a felony offense and be 21 years or older.

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The City of Morris is renewing its health insurance coverage with Blue Cross Blue Shield, with a 6.35 percent increase to the rate and an overall increase of 9.85 percent with taxes.

The council voted, 7-0, with Sid Nelson absent, to accept the proposal that will run July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017.

“I budgeted for a 25 percent increase and the numbers are falling [at] just under 10 percent,” City Clerk Carol Adair said during the meeting.

Alderman Randy Larson asked for clarification on the insurance to find out whether it covered health, dental and vision. The vote was on health only; dental and vision cover-

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Residents searching for a job will have an opportunity Saturday to meet face-to-face with area employers at a job fair hosted by state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield.

“We held a job fair last year and I was shocked not only at the number of people needing work, but also by the number of employers needing employees,” Batinick said.

Batinick said this year the event will bring back three workshops to help those seeking work. The workshops will focus on how to create a stand-out resume to get the interview with the company you want to work for; how to be successful in the interview once you land it; and mastering your job search.

“The workshops are the same as last year. They were a success and we got a

Morris residents gather at prayer vigil for Orlando victims The Zelko family of Morris came together to honor the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando on Wednesday night at a prayer vigil held in Chapin Park in Morris.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The sweltering heat the night of June 15 did not deter the group of people who gathered in Chapin Park in Morris for something they felt was important.

They wanted to inspire love, not hate.

Maggie Thomas of Mazon spoke about waking up the morning of June 12 and looking at Facebook before heading off to church. She said she saw information about the shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, but didn’t think much about it at the time.

As the day went on, however, she thought more – and anger grew.

“Sunday night, I started to grow angry, sad and terrified,” she said.

“Since I was born in 1996, there have been more than 60 mass shootings in our country. I began venting my frustration to my mom saying that, as a 20-year-old woman in college, I frequently worry about attending class or seeing a movie or going to the mall or going out with friends at night for complete fear of being shot.”

She talked about how she messaged friend in her group AWARE at First United Methodist Church. AWARE stands for Acknowledge, Welcome, Ad-

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@ shawmedia.com

vocate, Represent and Educate.

The group decided to hold a candlelight vigil last week at Chapin Park in Morris to honor those killed in the Orlando tragedy.

Prior to the reading of all 49 names, Brent Newman, a member of First United Methodist Church, stood and spoke.

“I’ve been thinking, I think, maybe more than I have ever thought,” Newman told the crowd of more than 100 people.

He went on to say that he has been thinking of his friend, Ian, who lives only 10 minutes from Pulse. He has

thought about the three families that were murdered earlier this year in Ohio, 30 minutes from where he grew up.

“It’s like it’s continually getting closer,” he said.

He shared his thoughts about his friends – Cory and Gregory – who are getting married later this year and the fear an act like the Pulse shooting brings to their life.

“They should be thinking about happy things. They shouldn’t be thinking about whether or not, because of their mere act of presence, they might be killed,” Newman said. “It’s wrong.”

The crowd sat on lawn chairs, on blankets and picnic tables, or stood solemnly in the background, listening to each word, bowing their heads in prayer from time to time.

Candles were lit, each person turning to their neighbor with their candle held out to light the next, reminding each other that thoughts and actions can spread from one person to the next.

After each name was read, a moment of silence was broken by the strumming of a guitar.

Heads lifted, mouths opened and “Amazing Grace” emanated from the group who may or may not have known anyone involved.

Off to one side stood Roxie Dixon, her phone lifted, broadcasting the display of caring and love to her Facebook feed.

Dixon, who drove down to Morris from Orland Park, has been to Pulse.

She grew up in the area. Her son lost a friend that night at Pulse.

She wanted to share with her friends in Orlando the love and thoughts from a small Midwest town hundreds of miles away.

As the evening ended and the candles were blown out, the crowd mingled a little longer, talked a little more, and left hoping that – in Morris, for that night at least – love won.

Saratoga Board amends budget, talks funding

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Saratoga Community Consolidated School District 60C on Monday night adopted the 2015-16 amended budget and presented the tentative 2016-17 budget with hopes state funding will be available.

The amended budget left a $176,674 deficit in operating funds. Superintendent Kathy Perry said the large asphalt project this past year skewed this deficit for one year. However, she said, where the big concern lies is within the Education Fund deficit of $223,000, as well as funds the state promised but has not provided that are to be paid before the fiscal year ends June 30.

“We have $140,000 in revenue for this fiscal year that we don’t know if we will receive from the state of Illinois. If we get these funds, it will help to reduce that deficit. But we just don’t know,” Perry said.

Perry offered a projection into the academic year of 2016-17, but because Illinois lawmakers have not approved a budget, she had to use similar numbers of aid from the previous year.

“This budget I created included state aid. I put the numbers into a formula to come up with the budget. Now, the state could change the aid or prorate us, we just don’t know yet,” Perry said.

Perry said she has projected a deficit of $261,000 in operating funds and $317,755 in education funds with Education Fund revenue at about $5.15 million and expenditures of about $5.46 million.

Perry said if the state does not propose a budget, the district has a $2.4

million fund balance in the Education Fund to get them through the year.

“With the $2.4 million Education Fund balance and property taxes, we could survive the year, but barely. If we didn’t have the Education Fund balance, we would be out of the water

by January. It’s extremely unfortunate that the Legislature is using our schools for their own political positioning,” Perry said.

Perry said she has yet to hear of any concrete resolution to the budgets from the state.

Also on the discussion table at Monday’s meeting was the addition of physical education grades to student GPAs. Perry said the physical education teachers requested that this take place for the junior high students only, which has never been done. Perry said the board did not see the reason to add this to the student’s grade-point average, so the grade system will remain constant.

Mike Wright and Ginger Jones were absent at the meeting.

It has been very well-received by the taxing bodies for the most part. In the first [meeting] with IDI, we had 100 percent buy-in. This one’s actually a little bit easier to swallow because with Hillwood taking the risk initially putting the money out there, we are less at risk as far as taxpayers go in repaying those bonds.

”

Missey Moorman Schumacher Channahon village president

Channahon to ask other taxing entities to help

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – Channahon administrators intend to go before local taxing bodies again this summer to ask for support for property tax considerations for another development that has expressed interest in building in the village.

Last year, the local park, fire protection, library and school districts participated in an intergovernmental agreement with the village to forgo a portion of the property taxes generated from the 2 million-square-foot Industrial Developments International industrial/logistics center planned at the northeast corner of Interstate 55 and Bluff Road.

Now the village could seek another intergovernmental agreement from the taxing bodies to finance public im-

provements for development of about 300 acres just north of the IDI development.

The agreement proposal still is being drafted by village staff.

Hillwood Investment Properties is proposing to construct about 4.3 million square feet of warehouse and distribution facilities on property located south of Route 6 and east of Interstate 55 on what’s known as the Lewis/Marine property.

The project could also include approximately $13 million worth of improvement costs, $5 million of which would be off-site public infrastructure improvements, including the extension of a water main east across the interstate to Amoco Road, reconstruction of the southeast frontage road and reconstruction of a portion of Amoco Road.

The terms of the intergovernmental

agreement would be similar to those in the IDI agreement – but this time, the developer would front expenditures for the off-site public improvements.

Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher said after the meeting that the development would be on the east side of I-55 so those going to the site can get on and off without coming through town and disrupting residents.

Although the IDI and Hillwood developments sound similar, Schumacher said, the financing is different.

“With IDI,” she said, “we issued the bonds, and the taxing bodies are helping us repay that bond issue. In the Hillwood agreement, [the developer is] putting up the money for the public improvements. ... About $5 million of [the improvements] have been identified as public, which means they are not specific to Hillwood or just for their benefit. They are to benefit the com-

munity and other properties to make those developable.”

If an agreement is reached, Hillwood would do the improvements and taxing bodies would reimburse Hillwood $5 million, plus 5 percent interest, through property taxes generated by the development.

Village Administrator Tom Durkin said he plans to start attending meetings next week of the other taxing bodies, which include those that signed off on the IDI agreement, plus Troy Community School District 30-C. “It has been very well-received by the taxing bodies for the most part,” Schumacher said. “In the first [meeting] with IDI, we had 100 percent buyin. This one’s actually a little bit easier to swallow because with Hillwood taking the risk initially putting the money out there, we are less at risk as far as taxpayers go in repaying those bonds.”

Minooka’s annual festival celebrates summer

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Evelyn Kamer, 6, of Crest Hill bounced up and down on a giant inflatable slide, then faced her fears and climbed more than 10 feet on a 30-foot rock wall – all with a smile from ear to ear.

“My granddaughter Evelyn was staying with her GiGi and of course we always want to have fun,” said Colleen Kamer of Channahon, Evelyn’s grandmother.

From June 16 to 18, downtown Minooka came alive during the annual Summerfest celebration, sponsored by the Minooka Lions Club. For more than 30 years, with a few off years, the Minooka Lions Club has brought bands, games, parades and entertainment to the area as its main fundraiser for the year.

“This is always a great community event. This takes almost a year to plan by a group of citizens and the Lions Club. Everyone involved puts their heart and soul into this, along with tremendous cooperation from the village and sponsors,” Summerfest Chairman and Minooka Lions Club President John Jun said. “And, because of that hard work, we raise money to offer hearing aids, eyeglasses, eye ex-

and teen bands played to an audience.

On Friday night, people gathered under the tent for country band Back Country Roads, food and drinks, and the headliner band on Saturday was classic rock band Arra.

Saturday morning, runners lined Wapella Street in downtown Minooka for the annual 5K run. Event organizer and Lions Club member Scott Lemke said this year broke a record.

“Friday night we had 145 runners signed up for the race, and at race time we had 192, which was the highest number we’ve had for this run,” Lemke said. “People liked this race because the course was a challenge with the hills.”

Last year, Bolingbrook native Kristen Lucchesi won the race overall, but this year she added some pressure to her first-place title.

“I brought my husband this year and he beat me, so I’m not going to Allison Selk for Shaw Media bring him next year,” Kristen said.

Wrigley opens addition to Yorkville factory SHAW MEDIA YORKVILLE – Wrigley last week opened an addition to its Yorkville factory to produce more Skittles.

Wrigley, a subsidiary of Mars, opened the addition June 14. The expansion is the result of a $50 million investment by Mars that adds 145,000 square feet, a new Skittles line and 75 new jobs – a 25 percent increase in the workforce at the facility, according to a news release from the company.

“Mars has a long-standing history of making our products in the markets where they’re sold,” Wrigley Americas President Casey Keller said in the news release. “With the expansion of our Skittles production footprint, we are proud to continue that tradition right here in the state that Wrigley has called home for 125 years.”

The Yorkville expansion reflects the unprecedented growth of Skittles, which the company says is now the No. 1 non-chocolate confection brand in the United States. Besides Skittles, the Yorkville factory produces Life Savers, Doublemint and Juicy Fruit.

The company’s growth in the state of Illinois was assisted by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Yorkville Area Chamber of Commerce, City of Yorkville and Kendall County.

“We are grateful for the support of our state and local communities, which have been instrumental in helping to bring this project to life,” Keller said in the news release. “We’re fortunate to be able to further invest here in Yorkville and provide the community with continued economic development.”

Gov. Bruce Rauner noted that Wrigley is an iconic company in the state and is proud to see it continue to grow in Illinois.

“Wrigley has invested nearly $200 million in Illinois over the past seven years, creating hundreds of jobs for Illinois residents,” Rauner said in the news release. “The State of Illinois is glad to be a partner in Wrigley’s further expansion.”

In the past five years, Mars has invested $1 billion in U.S. factories and operations, creating more than 1,000 jobs.

Not everyone stayed home, and although the crowd was smaller than usual, the rides were moving and bells could be heard as carnival attendees won prizes at the midway games.

The carnival lasted through Saturday and was held in the parking lot at Morris Community High School.

Naming charities as beneficiaries works What’s an easy way to leave money to your favorite charity? Name the charity as the beneficiary of your qualified accounts.

For example, maybe you took out an insurance policy on your children when they were little. Now that they’re grown and have their own income and insurance, you might not need that death benefit anymore.

Change the beneficiary to your favorite charity and they will receive the cash.

Other investments allow you to name a beneficiary, too, such as bank accounts, IRAs, and annuities.

By naming the Foundation as your beneficiary, you can set up a fund now so that the death benefit rolls directly into your donor-designed fund without

VIEWS Julianne Buck taxes or probate.

The Community Foundation of Grundy County offers many types of donor funds that you can design to meet your philanthropic goals – either during your lifetime or as a legacy upon your passing.

Donor Advised Funds are the most flexible – a donor sets up a fund with a lump sum of cash or asset, then makes grants out of the fund at a time that is convenient to the donor.

Field of Interest Funds are

like-minded donors coming together to pool their assets and grantmaking around a particular issue, such as education, fine arts or historic preservation.

Designated Funds are set up by donors for a specific charity or organization, and grant checks are automatically forwarded to that charity on an annual basis – even after your passing.

Scholarship Funds support students of all ages, backgrounds and majors who are pursuing a post-secondary certificate, designation, or degree.

Agency Endowments are set up by nonprofits as a permanent income stream as they can count on the annual income toward their operations.

If you think you want to set up a

donor-designed fund but are unsure how to go about it, please feel free to contact us.

We love to brainstorm about the needs of the community and the size and types of donor-designed funds you can create to fulfill the needs of the local charities and the clients they serve.

Remember, donors don’t give TO a community foundation, they give THROUGH a community foundation.

OPINIONS

How long can the state run with no budget?

Nobody, and I mean nobody, thought that Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration could keep state operations running for a year without an actual state budget.

State and federal courts have ordered about 90 percent of state spending since the General Assembly’s Democrats and the Republican governor deadlocked on a budget last year because they couldn’t come to terms on the governor’s pro-business/anti-union Turnaround Agenda. Because of those court orders, employees are getting paid and Medicaid payments are made.

When Rauner put aside his demands for things such as workers’ comp reform before he’d do a budget deal, he and legislators were able to agree on releasing funds for local governments and federal programs, and they appropriated some money for universities and colleges.

But state government operations have been hammered. If the air conditioning goes out in a state building and it can’t be fixed in-house, too bad.

Lack of money for postage and printing costs forced the Secretary of State to suspend sending out reminder notices for license plate renewals. Enormous overdue utility bills have been piling up. The Department of Corrections uses private contractors to provide things such as food for prisoners, and none of them have been paid since last year.

Rauner bragged last week to reporters that keeping the state functioning is a result of “an extraordinary performance by the leaders in our team.”

Ever since Rauner asked legislative Democratic leaders for a temporary “stopgap” budget for bureaucratic operations in April, the Democrats have viewed the request as a sign of potential weakness and have so far refused to comply. Rauner has claimed the Democrats are attempting to force a crisis via a state shutdown. The Democrats counter that Rauner, himself, has been trying to create a crisis to leverage passage of his Turnaround Agenda.

So how is the administration managing to – literally – keep the lights on?

The Rauner administration has a team of people that works on these issues and has developed all sorts of contingency plans. One of the departments they really have to watch all

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Carrying our communities through tough times

VIEWS Rich Miller the time is Corrections. Some little state board might go under and almost nobody would notice. But if the state can’t feed prisoners, well, that could be really bad. The administration is using a special loan fund to help prison contractors get through this rough patch.

The vendors can sell their debt to a company for most of what they’re owed, which keeps them limping along. Every now and then, the governor’s office will get calls from mayors of downstate prison towns, who sometimes seem to have been ginned up by the Democrats.

A water shutoff or some such thing is threatened unless the towns receive payment on their overdue bills. The mayors are asked to please be patient while the leaders work on a budget.

If kindness doesn’t work, the mayors are sternly warned that the state won’t be able to operate a prison without water, so prisoners will have to be moved to other facilities. And once they leave, they won’t ever be coming back.

Rauner, the mayors are told, believes we have too many people behind bars anyway. And, besides, once the facility is abandoned, the state would have to comply with much stricter building and safety rules if it wanted to reopen the prison. That would cost lots of money that the state simply doesn’t have.

Of course, if the prison permanently goes away, so will all those local jobs and the facilities’ huge economic impacts. A mayor can shut off the water over a past-due bill, but that’ll be the most costly utility shutoff in town history. It’s worked.

We could be reaching a turning point. The Department of Corrections director predicted in an early June newspaper op-ed that prison vendors will eventually have to pull their services, which could, he warned, “cripple the department in a matter of days.”

The administration will have to get even more “heroic” if that happens.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Illinois must honor legacy of women who fought for rights for people with disabilities

To the Editor: Lois Curtis and Elaine Wilson were living in an institution run by the state of Georgia.

They wanted to get out and live in the community.

Their desire to live and participate fully in their community was opposed by every court along the way.

On June 22, 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that institutionalization of people with disabilities was a violation of their civil rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. In addition, the high court ruled that every state must create a “Olmstead Plan.”

Such a plan would include giving people with disabilities existing in institutions the opportunity to live in the community.

Unfortunately, Illinois has not created such a plan.

The 22 Centers for Independent Living in the state have successfully helped hundreds of people with disabilities leave nursing homes and set

up their own residences.

These citizens are free to participate in all areas of life.

Unfortunately, this program is in jeopardy because of the ongoing budget impasse.

Each party blames the other, which does absolutely no good for people with disabilities in nursing homes who want to escape.

The impasse is also affecting staff members who work with their fellow citizens in their quest to live independently.

The game of politics must stop.

Legislators and the governor must do their jobs and pass a budget.

Lois and Elaine (now deceased) are considered heroines in the history of the independent living movement.

Illinois must honor their legacy and pass a budget so more people such as Elaine and Lois can realize their dream of living outside of an institution.

To do less would be a disgrace to anyone who believes in justice.

Sincerely, Pam Heavens

July important milestone for Grundy Habitat July is an important month for Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity.

Not only are our two biggest fundraisers in July, but 20 years ago, we were founded by a small group of community members who saw a need for adequate, affordable housing in our area.

In 20 years, we are proud to have helped 12 families with the dream of homeownership. We know that each family we have worked with is grateful for the opportunity to be a Habitat homeowner and we are equally grateful to be part of their lives. It is because of those families our communities have rallied together to bring volunteers and donors to do good work.

Julie Wilkinson, our board president, reflects on our organization’s milestone: “Here in Grundy County, Habitat for Humanity has a proud history of bringing together volunteers, donors, and generous contractors to make affordable

COMMUNITY PULSE Sarah Peterson housing a matter of consciousness.

Twelve deserving families now know the pride, stability, and financial security that comes with homeownership. Our future is even brighter.”

Our longest-serving board member, John Latimer, shares why he continues to be involved with Habitat: “I volunteer because I enjoy building things, but more importantly because God has been so generous to me and my family that it is a way to repay him for his blessings. It is also one of his directives that we are to help our fellow man here on Earth and we are to take care of each other. This is my way of trying to do that.”

It is continued support for Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity that allows us to grow. This year we have expanded our programs to include A Brush with Kindness, which is an exterior home repairs program for low-income homeowners. New partnerships with United Way of Grundy County and Thrivent Financial has helped us complete our first project. Wilkinson added: “With continued support, we will touch more lives through our home repair program and help fill critical housing needs throughout the county.”

As we celebrate 20 years, Habitat for Humanity International is celebrating 40 years this year. Habitat was founded on the principle that decent shelter is something we all need to thrive and that a house is a strong foundation for a family.

In the words of Habitat’s founder Millard Fuller: “A house is to a family what soil is to a plant. A plant needs to be

rooted. A family is like that. If a family is not rooted, it will not flourish. But once a family is well-rooted, all kinds of wonderful things will begin to happen.”

Thank you for your continued support and allowing Habitat for Humanity to help residents in our community.

As we grow, we keep Habitat’s vision clear: A world where everyone has a decent place to live. For information about Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity, visit us at www.grundy3rivershabitat.org.

Minooka native promoted to colonel in U.S. Army

By CHANEL S. WEAVER

Public Affairs Officer, Army Public Health Center MINOOKA – Jennifer J. McDannald, a native of Minooka, and daughter of Joyce Grote and Len Grote (deceased) was recently promoted to the rank of colonel in the U.S. Army.

More than 150 people, including many of McDannald’s relatives, attended an April 18 ceremony at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, to see McDannald pin on her new rank. Her mother, Joyce, was grateful she could make the trip to witness the promotion.

“I am so proud of her and all she has accomplished,” Grote said. “It warmed my heart to see all of those people in attendance to celebrate her accomplishment.”

McDannald currently serves as the deputy director of the Army Public Health Center, or APHC, headquartered at APG, Maryland. McDannald previously served as the deputy director of business operations at APHC. After graduating from Minooka Community High School, McDannald earned a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from the University of Iowa. She later earned a master’s of public health degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

She then joined the Army, and decided to specialize as an environmental science and engineering office. Her talent, combined with leadership ability, allowed her to be promoted to positions of increasing responsibility.

McDannald comes from a proud mili-

As a female in the military, McDannald is frequently balancing work and family obligations. She is the mother of five children: Jacob (23), Derrick (22), Stephen (20), Hannah (15) and Cooper (12).

When she is not working as a leader of troops, she enjoys supporting her children as they participate in their many extracurricular activities.

“My parents taught me to always put my family first,” said McDannald. “In our home, we were taught respect for others.

“It is that consideration for others that has allowed McDannald to succeed.

She served as a mentor to many junior soldiers and civilians throughout her career.

“I believe in seeking out an individual’s strengths and building upon them,” McDannald said. “A good leader knows how to bring out the best in others.”

McDannald’s previous military assignments include chief of environmental health, U.S. Army Medical Department Activity, Fort Stewart, Georgia; division environmental science officer, E Company, 27th Main Support Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas; commander, 926th Medical Detachment (PM), Fort Benning, Georgia; team commander and recruiter, Kansas City Health Care Recruiting Team, 5th AMEDD Recruiting Battalion, Overland Park, Kansas; chief of environmental health, Madigan Army Medical Center, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington; director of

support operations, U.S. Army Public Health Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland; deputy chief of staff, U.S. Army Public Health Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland; and chief of staff, U.S. Army Public Health Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.

Her military deployments include a deployment to Kosovo while serving as the commander of the 926th Medical Detachment. McDannald’s education includes Intermediate Level Education Course, Combined Arms Service Staff School, the Army Medical Department Officer Advance Course, Principles of Military Preventive Medicine Course, Industrial Hygiene Course, the Army Medical Department Officer Basic Course and Airborne School.

Her awards include a Meritorious Service Medal (2 oak leaf clusters), Army Commendation Medal (3 oak leaf clusters), Army Achievement Medal (1 oak leaf cluster) Army Superior Unit Award, National Defense Service Medal (2), Kosovo Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Medal and an Army Service Ribbon, as well as the Expert Field Medical Badge and the Recruiter Badge. Although she is a long way from home, McDannald said she will never forget her roots.

“No matter where the Army sends my family and me, I will always think of Minooka as home,” McDannald said.

“Though Minooka has grown significantly since I lived here, it still has the same small-town feel and sense of community that I value.”

• ONE YEAR LATER

Noah Clark, a mechanic with Illinois Central School Bus, checks the battery in a school bus Aug. 6 at the Coal City bus barn in Coal City prior to the start of the 2015-16 academic year. More than 90 Coal City students were spread across 13 communities outside of Coal City for last school year. But they still attended Coal City schools, as under The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, District 1 paid busing mileage costs to get the students to school.

Continued from page 3

Village in $6.3 million of debt

The Marvick family aren’t the only ones still recovering.

There are about 40 displaced households still renting while their homes are rebuilt, Village Administrator Matt Fritz said. An estimated 70 families have been designated as “displaced never to return.”

Fritz said he knows of six households still battling insurance companies to get their homes rebuilt. Of the 884 properties damaged in Coal City, he estimated about 90 percent have been restored to livable conditions.

“But that belittles the total number of people who have had to give up and take what the insurance offered,” Fritz said.

Sara Smith and her two daughters are one of those families.

After fighting her insurance company, State Farm, Smith finally received an agreement from it in October to tear down the home, which was demolished in December.

“We were approved for the teardown amount, and I thought it would be smooth sailing from there. We started working on a floor plan with the contractor,” Smith said.

It has been anything but easy. The family still is waiting for approval from their insurance company.

Smith has hired a lawyer and filed a lawsuit Tuesday after interactions with 24 employees at her insurance company didn’t produce any answers.

She still does not have a home to call her own a year after the winds destroyed her house.

“They are disagreeing about what the coverage should be,” she said.

She said her local agent is saying one thing, and the claim office is saying something different. She said that while she paid to have replacement value insurance on the property, she found out quickly she was underinsured.

“Due to our customer privacy policy, we are not able to discuss the specifics of any particular claim or customer’s policy information,” Missy Dundov, State Farm spokeswoman for Illinois and Indiana, stated in an email.

“What I can tell you is that almost all of the claims pertaining to the Coal City tornado have been settled and closed.

As an organization, we take pride in our customer service. We are committed to paying what we owe, promptly, courteously, and efficiently.”

Smith has decided not to move forward with the build, as she doesn’t know what her portion of the expense would be.

The village has seen unexpected expenses, too. Coal City’s immediate response to the tornado cost $1.3 million, Fritz said.

Shaw Media file photo

The money, among other things, allowed the village to hire temporary staff for day-to-day operations. It also covered vendor payments for services such as debris collection.

In total, the village will spend about $1.5 million in infrastructure replacement.

For example, the Coal Field subdivision was hit so hard, Fritz said, some roads will be replaced. Other streets and parkways in the village will be improved, too.

Coal City issued additional bonds because state and federal governments did not provide financial assistance.

The village refinanced $4.85 million in bonds and took out an additional $3 million in bonds that ultimately will cost taxpayers $6.3 million in extra payments and interest to cover the needed work.

“To put the $6.3 million in perspective,” Fritz said, “our annual operational budget is only about $5 million.”

And work remains to be done: The Coal City Fire Protection District Station 2 was damaged to the tune of $1.3 million.

Lt. Nick Doerfler, the district’s public information officer, said repair work is done daily to get the station back to normal. In the meantime, district personnel have been a bit crowded in Station 1.

“Station 1 is bigger than Station 2, and it still fits all of our equipment,” Doerfler said. “But it’s not designed for the amount of people in it.”

Doerfler said the district is unsure when it will be back in Station 2, but that spirits still are high.

munity Foundation of Grundy County has disbursed more than $794,287 via a relief fund monitored by the foundation’s Long-Term Relief Committee, foundation program coordinator Devan Gagliardo said.

“The money has come from organizations such as Operation St. Nick, Catholic Charities, We Care of Grundy County, local businesses and more,” said Gagliardo, a Coal City resident who was out of her home for seven months.

In April, the foundation concluded its final assistance application period.

This is the last of the monetary assistance that will be provided from the relief fund, Gagliardo said.

“We did end up getting 86 applications for ‘unmet need’ funding,” she said. “A good amount still had issues with their homes. Others had yard work that needs to be done. The ones who were approved should have received checks this month.”

Healing continues

Once the damage was known, the first objective of the Board of Education for Coal City District 1 was to remove visual reminders of the tornado, Superintendent Kent Bugg said.

Buildings were fully operational when school started in August. Athletic teams did not miss a home game.

To get to that point, insurance covered $1.27 million in repairs to buildings, property in the open and personal property damaged or lost. The district spent an additional $135,807.96 on repairs and replacements not covered by insurance.

It received donations and relief Nearly $800,000 in donations funds from the state’s Regional Offices Amid the destruction and chaos, of Education in the amount of $50,000 the community came together to fund and $10,000, respectively. relief for affected residents. The ComAlthough cosmetic replacements

were made, district employees, students and families worked through emotional and logistical issues all year. And it appears they will continue to do so for a second school year.

For the 2015-16 academic year, more than 90 Coal City students were spread across 13 communities outside of Coal City. But they still attended Coal City schools, Bugg said.

“We worked cooperatively with families and school districts to get the kids here,” Bugg said.

One such student lived in Kankakee. Under the The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, District 1 paid busing mileage costs to get the student to school. There also were 13 students living in Morris. The district worked with Saratoga District 60C to arrange transportation for them.

“I think we’ll still have a few kids bused in this year from outside the district,” Bugg said.

The tornado was so troubling to some students that school counselors provided guidance when the threat of severe storms returned. Dark clouds and emergency siren tests at 10 a.m. the first Tuesday of every month scared students, Bugg said. Counselors knew to be prepared when severe weather was in the forecast.

“I anticipate that for many years to come, our Student Services Department will have to be proactive with severe weather,” Bugg said. “It’s traumatized some of our kids.”

And while that support continues, children also have found time to just be kids. The Marvicks’ children, who are 7 and 8, are enjoying their summer in the trailer, just as they did last year.

And when move-in day does come, their journey will take them down the yellow brick road where they will realize there’s no place like home.

Village church opens doors to hundreds of people If you go

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

MINOOKA – On June 12, The Village Christian Church held two dedication services in its new building.

For 11 years, attendees – just 20 when the church opened – had gathered at Minooka Junior High School.

On May 29, The Village held an open day service where 628 people attended, said the Rev. Nate Ferguson, lead pastor.

And yet, the overall message from staff and attendees alike is this: The excitement is not about the 20,000-squarefoot building on 10 acres. It’s about the increased amount of community outreach the building will facilitate.

“We’re about changing lives,” said Tim Juskiewicz, The Village attendee and the civil engineer who led the building committee.

The Village’s motto, Juskiewicz said, is “Life Change, Life Growth, Life Purpose.” Chris Balkema, who began attending The Village four years ago with his wife, Jill, and their sons, Luke, 14, and Max, 11, said the church provides a venue for them to find their strengths and grow in the Lord with the support of the other attendees.

“It shares the gift of salvation in

Juskiewicz said he and the members of the committee visited different churches, studied their features and then incorporated the elements that best suited The Village’s identity and culture into building’s design.

“We like to socialize and share food a lot, so to have a gathering space where we could hang out before and after services was important to us,” Juskiewicz said. “It was also important to have a really great kids’ area so the kids could have fun and learn about God at the same time.”

According to a news release from the church, Kid Village is available during Sunday services for infants through fourth-graders.

Murals depict village storefronts based on Bible stories: “Jonah’s Fish Market,” “Delilah’s Cut & Style” and “Noah’s Pet Shop.” Young children meet in classrooms; older kids gather in a large open space.

Juskiewicz’s wife, Susan Juskiewicz, said she and Tim began attending The Village shortly after it opened because its contemporary worship service, young demographics and “fresh take on things” appealed to them.

Susan appreciates The Village’s strong sense of community, volunteer spirit and lack of emphasis on membership requirements.

Nate said he and Rachelle prayed for direction and then dove in.

“The average age was 32, married and with two kids,” Nate said of the Minooka area at the time of the plant.

“That’s exactly what my wife and I were on the day we started.”

Nate said The Village has been faithful to those two conditions.

The Village Christian Church has a new church home at 8965 Bell Road in Minooka.

Village gave away $121,000 to missions in 2015 and has given $500,000 since the church started in 2004. The church also partners with Northern Illinois Food Bank to provide food trucks to feed those in need.

The next food truck will be at 5 p.m.

June 29.

Also with The Village since the beginning, is worship pastor the Rev. Jared Baker, who had worked with Nate at First Christian’s Saturday night services.

He was finishing up a degree in youth ministry when he decided to forgo the last few classes and dedicate his time and gifts to The Village.

Baker said his worship style is very contemporary, but he’s seen an interest lately in the “beautiful language and strong words” of traditional hymns as well. Baker likes that attendees are “on fire” for Christ and that fire attracts more of them to The Village.

“I think we’re going to grow like crazy,” he said.

Ferguson said The Village is the daughter church of First Christian Church of Morris. He said a former pastor at the Morris church had a vision of growing First Christian to 300 people and then planting daughter churches in neighboring communities.

But that vision never materialized until Ferguson became involved with the youth and young adult ministries at First Christian, a decade before The Village was established.

By his seventh and eighth years at the Morris church, Ferguson noticed First Christian was not reaching young families. In response, he and his wife, Rachelle Ferguson, decided to offer a Saturday night service to attract that age group, which quickly grew to 100 attendees, Nate said.

So when First Christian decided to

COAL CITY – If there was any doubt as to who the Morris Herald-News baseball Player of the Year was going to be for the 2016 season, those doubts were laid to rest early in the Class 3A playoffs.

It was on Thursday, May 26, to be exact.

That’s the day that Coal City’s Brad Littleton, a senior bound for the Big Ten’s Indiana University, etched his name forever in Coaler lore when he outdueled Joliet Catholic Academy standout pitcher Drake Fellows, who is headed to the Southeast Conference’s Vanderbilt University, by a 1-0 score.

In what was basically a microcosm of his season, Littleton hit a double off Fellows with two outs in the first inning of that game. His courtesy runner, Zack Nolan, then came around to score on a single by teammate Jared Skubic.

As was often the case with Littleton on the mound for Coal City in the last couple of seasons, a run was enough, and Littleton did the rest, firing a twohit shutout and leading Coal City to victory.

“We knew it was going to be a tough game,” Littleton said about his team’s signature win. “Drake is a real good pitcher, so we were just hoping to scratch together a few runs.

“That was probably the game where everything I threw was working. I had a good fastball, curve and changeup that day.”

It was something that Coal City coach Jerry McDowell has seen before – but he never ceases to be amazed.

“Brad was always very well-prepared when it was his time to pitch,” McDowell said. “Probably the most prepared game-in and game-out of any pitcher I have ever had. He put his work in between starts and did everything you can ask of a pitcher.

“He really had a goal in mind when he got to high school. Then he put in the work to go and achieve it. Some kids have a goal, but then they just hope it happens. Brad put the extra work in. If we had a two-hour practice, he would stay an extra half-hour on his own and lift or run. The other kids on the team saw that and pretty soon, they were joining him. Hopefully, we will still be seeing his influence on the program as far as that goes for years t come.”

Littleton’s numbers alone are off the charts. He was 9-0 on the mound this year with a 1.22 ERA. In 63 innings pitched, he allowed just 33 hits and 27 walks while striking

He also has a 1.22 ERA on the mound. BELOW: Coal City’s Brad Littleton follows through on a swing in a game earlier this season. out 98.

During the last two seasons, he was an eye-popping 18-0 for the Coalers.

As if that wasn’t enough, he also led the team in hitting this year, batting .380 with team highs of four triples, five home runs and 42 RBIs, as well as 14 stolen bases in 15 attempts.

Even with the gaudy offensive numbers, Littleton is fairly certain his future will be on the mound with the Hoosiers – and that’s fine with him.

“They said they would give me a chance to swing the bat and see what I can do, but they primarily want me to pitch,” he said. “I feel like I am ready to do that. I know that every player that I will see from now on will be a very good player, but I am competitive myself.

Indiana has a very good program and they have been to the College World Series a couple of times lately. That would be a dream, playing in Omaha.

“It was pretty nice to have the college decision out of the way this year. I could just go out and enjoy myself and play the game. I will miss my team- enjoy this season and not have any- one of the best programs in the state mates here since I grew up playing thing to worry about like scouts and on their own field and it took a state with them, so I was glad I was able to stuff like that. We were able to beat champion [Lemont] to knock us out.”

Tedeschi picks up Late Model victory at Grundy Speedway STAFF REPORTS MORRIS – Brian Tedeschi won the pole position for Friday night’s 30-lap Late Model feature at Grundy County Speedway – but he didn’t hold the lead spot for long.

In fact, it wasn’t until the final lap that he was able to overcome Nathan Bertino, who led the entire race in between, and come away with the win.

Tedeschi finished ahead of second-place Eddie Hoffman by just .209 seconds and beat third-place finisher Larry Schuler by .417 seconds.

It was a tight group up front as fourth-place Billy Knippenberg Jr.

(.737) and fifth-place Tony Scalpelli Jr. (.981) were also within a second of the race winner.

James Gregait, John Nutley, Brandon Clubb, Dean Patterson and Jim Weber rounded out the top 10 in the late-model division.

In the Mid-American division, Ron Vandermeir Jr. earned the victory in the 25-lap feature after wrestling the lead away from Matt Clement on Lap 17. Clemens had led from Lap 6, when he took the lead from pole-sitter Kenny Benson. Cody Clubb finished third, while Kevin Murphy was fourth and Jake Bradley took fifth. Mary McKinney, Benson, Jeremy Clubb, Aaron

Shelton and Jim Kachel completed the top 10 finishers.

In the 25-lap Street Stock feature race, John Senerchia finished just ahead of Eddie Ligue and Craig Matteson to take the checkered. Ligue finished .600 behind Senerchai with Matteson a scant .025 behind Ligue for third.

Following Matteson to the finish line and completing the top 10 were Tim Stewart, Christy Penrod, Randy Weese, Spencer Leake, Paul Polarek, Chris Mihalski and Cheryl Hryn.

In the 4-Cylinder main event, there wasn’t nearly as much drama, as Michael Tobuch won the 15-lap race

by 1.420 seconds over Dan Schmeissing. Scott Gagan, Matt Chester, Matt Wysocki, Miles Wilbanks, Thomas Kaminski, Kristi Odom, Terry Candella and Nick Esposito rounded out the top 10.

Racing continues this Friday night at Grundy County Speedway, located at the Grundy County Fairgrounds on Route 47 just north of Morris. This Friday will be the midseason championship program, with each race earning double points.

Pits open at 4 p.m., with the grandstand opening at 5:30 p.m. Qualifying begins at 6:30 p.m. and the first race is set to begin at 8 p.m.

MORRIS – The 31st edition of the Morris Boys Basketball Shootout will tip off Wednesday at 9 a.m.

The 32-team event will feature four games every hour in pool play Wednesday, as eight four-team pools will each play a round-robin format in order to determine Thursday’s bracket play.

The top two teams in each pool will be combined into the gold – or championship – bracket, which will begin play at noon Thursday, while the bottom two teams in each pool will be in the maroon – or consolation – bracket with games starting at 8 a.m. Thursday.

The tournament championship game is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday in the MCHS main gym.

Galesburg won last year’s tournament title, with Normal Community winning the previous season and Edwardsville taking back-to-back titles the two years before that.

Teams involved in this year’s tournament are Alton, Belleville West, Bloomington Central Catholic, Bolingbrook, Bradley-Bourbonnais, Burlington Central, Deerfield, DeKalb, East Aurora, Edwardsville, Galesburg, Joliet Central, Lake Zurich, Lockport, Loyola Academy, Minooka, Morris, Neuqua Valley, Normal Community, Oak Forest, O’Fallon, Oswego, Ottawa, Peotone, Plainfield Central, Plainfield North, Rochelle, Rockford Auburn, Stevenson, Streator, Sycamore and Waubonsie Valley.

As always, Morris coach and tournament director Joe Blumberg expects a competitive tournament and plenty

Conference. Rochelle is a team from our conference [Northern Illinois Big 12] that returns a lot of their scoring and Lockport is a quality, local Class 4A team that is always a strong program.”

Blumberg noted that Stevenson will bring 6-foot-7 forward Justin Smith, who is regarded as one of the top 100 players in the country, and Belleville West also has two Division I recruits on their roster. Of course, summer schedules can change in the blink of an eye.

“It’s very difficult to determine who will be there and who will not for some teams,” Blumberg said. “There are a lot of schedule conflicts over the summer and kids might get invited to another camp that they didn’t know about before.”

What Blumberg is looking forward to is how his team reacts to seeing some of the top-flight competition.

“We want our guys to be on the floor against some good competition and see all the little things that those teams do well. I hope we can pick up some things from that and improve our own game.”

Last summer, the Redskins were adjusting to losing the bulk of their scoring from the year before.

This season, leading scorers Matt Shaw and Tyler Spiezio return for another season, and Blumberg will be trying to find playing time for all 15 players on the roster.

The Redskins use the tournament as their only fundraiser for the year, so everyone in the program will be involved, whether it’s working at a scorer’s table, in the concession stand or playing in a game.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers are huge. They are usually floating neighborhood marinas with numerous boats tied to them. It’s not unusual to have a dock so large that 20 or 30 boats may be parked in them.

These docks provide a multitude of places where fish can hide. The docks often start over shallow water and finish with the outside boat slips near deep water. Work the entire length of the dock and find where fish are hanging out.

When fishing docks, I love to swim jigs along the length of the floats.

This may not always be the best way to catch numbers of fish, but it will tell me where they are located. Once I have that information, I can decide what presentation works best.

The trickiest part of fishing those large floating docks is often fish will suspend under them. Sometimes they may be down just a few feet, other times they may be hanging 15 to 20 feet below the dock.

If you find that situation, then switching to another presentation, like a drop shot, may be the way to go.

Another summer pattern that works well on a highland reservoir is the Carolina Rig. Use this on the main lake points and big secondary points just inside of bays and pockets.

If you locate fish with this rig then you can always switch to something else, like a deep diving crank bait.

I have had tremendous success on Table Rock with massive crank baits that dredge the depths.

Every summer, I talk with people who love the outdoors. Often they ask about a possible fishing location to take their family.

Usually, there are few guidelines they request – a place within a day’s drive, a location that has something to do for the rest of the family, and lots of fish.

One of my favorite lakes that meets all of these is Table Rock Lake. This southwest Missouri lake is on my calendar for this summer. The lake itself covers anywhere from 43,000 to 52,000 acres, depending on the water level. There are more than 800 miles of shoreline and numerous opportunities for water enthusiasts.

The lake itself is close to Branson.

This tourist destination is 20 minutes from the lake shore. If you like shopping, then you may also want to head to Springfield and check out Bass Pro Shop’s flagship store, about an hour’s drive from the lake.

There are also numerous other attraction near the reservoir. A quick visit to www.branson.com can give you all the information you need about planning a trip to the area.

But what about the fishing?

I have been fortunate to fish Table Rock in all four seasons. Spring is the best, but great fish can be caught all year. Summer can be challenging, because of water clarity, temperature, fishing, and boating pressure. On the positive side, the fish are on typical summer patterns.

One of the most attractive features to the lake is the abundance of boat docks. Fish of all species love to hang under these floating docks for the shade and presence of forage. At first you may be thinking of the typical boat docks that we have around here.

There are some of those on Table Rock, but the majority of these docks

FOOD

GRILLING SEASON 5 ways to take your grill skills to a whole new level

I

t’s time to grab the tongs and apron because it is officially grilling season. You’ve waited months to reclaim your rightful position behind the grill, and it’s finally time to achieve your goal of making this your best grilling season yet.

Now, you need a game plan. To take your place as the rightful master of the grill this year, consider following these five barbecuing tips.

• Keep it clean. It may be the least glamourous part of your grilling experience, but keeping your grill clean is essential to delivering a quality product. A stiff wire brush is just the ticket along with plenty of oil once you’re done. Then, turn up the heat and enjoy preparing your meal on a clean, hot surface.

• Direct and indirect grilling. Many summer chefs aren’t familiar with these terms, but mastering direct and indirect grilling is a great way to bolster your cooking skills. Direct grilling cooks the food directly over the heat source and is perfect for smaller, thinner pieces. Indirect grilling cooks the food near the heat source - but not directly over it. This is good for larger, thicker items.

• Don’t fill the grill. A loaded grill is a mouth-watering sight but it jeopardizes the end result. Keep your grill at least 30 percent free so you have space to move food when the eventual flare up occurs.

• Use the right tools. When it comes to rotating food, a reliable set of tongs beats a barbecue fork any day. Puncturing meat allows juices to escape prematurely, so don’t stab your food with a fork and never press burgers with a spatula.

• Sit before you serve. For the best flavor, let your newly cooked meat sit for about 10 minutes before serving. The meat will be juicer and everyone will enjoy the meal a little bit more.
