RETRACTION

Morris Herald-News retracts Dec. 16 article regarding on-the-court traction systems MORRIS HERALD–NEWS

MORRIS – The Morris Herald-News is retracting the article “Grabity looking to stick around gym floors, shoes” that published on pages 13 and 14 of the Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2015, edition.

The story about on-the-court traction

systems for basketball and volleyball courts contained inaccurate information regarding California-based SlippNott’s product, including about the quality of its adhesive performance and its pricing.

Slipp-Nott said its product is engineered not to leave any adhesive on the

soles of shoes after using its traction mat.

Also, the Slipp-Nott small set with 60 sheets cost $96.50 at the time of the publication of the Dec. 16 story, which reported a higher price.

Wilmington men charged in firearm incident

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Two Wilmington men face felony charges in an incident where gunshots they say were meant for coyotes had instead hit a neighbor’s home.

Thomas C. Beck, 53, and Dylan R. Nolan, 18, of the 1700 block of Vista Drive, Wilmington, have been charged with reckless discharge of a firearm. Wilmington police said in a news release that both men confirmed Beck’s wife story that they were trying to shoot at coyotes that jumped over the fence of their home to attack their dogs early Saturday.

“She stated that she had summoned her husband and son, who both came out with semi-automatic handguns and began shooting at the coyotes,” according to the news release.

They stated they had no intention of shooting a home in the 1800 block of Vista Drive.

Residents at that home were awakened by bullets flying into their bedroom just after 3 a.m. Saturday, Wilmington police said.

One bullet came through the master bedroom window and ricocheted into another room, while a second bullet came through the wall and was stopped by a piece of wooden furniture.

Wilmington police found that not only had two bullets entered the master bedroom but two others struck the home as well. Investigators located nine spent shell casings in the area where Beck and Nolan had been shooting, authorities said.

“The residents said that they heard 8 to 10 shots in total and could actually hear those that didn’t strike the house ‘whizzing through the trees,’ ” Wilmington police said in a news release.

Grundy County Fair celebrates families and fun despite financial costs

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Burdette Carter has been a part of the Grundy County Fair since 1972. It’s something of a tradition for his family.

The fair has been celebrated in Grundy County for more than 100 years. This year’s theme of “An American Family Tradition” was no different.

“My grandfathers were involved in Mazon. I’ve been here for years, and my son is also involved,” Carter said from his office at the fairgrounds on Route 47 north in Morris.

Hanging on the walls of the office are signed photographs of many stars who have been at the fair, as well as famous NASCAR drivers.

Greeting people behind the counter is Barb Carter – Burdette’s wife – who has worked every fair for as long as she’s been with Burdette.

Although some fairs are closing and others are downsizing, the Grundy County Fair keeps on going, primarily supported from the money raised at the Grundy County Speedway, where local racers take rubber to the asphalt every Friday night.

“We get nothing from the state,” Carter said. “No tax money, no para-mutual money, not one red cent.”

The only limits to the fair, as far as Carter is concerned, is how much it can offer with the budget provided each year.

He works with the carnival and other attractions to get them to the privately owned property north of Morris, where the fair has been held since it moved from Mazon in 1971.

Running a fair is a costly but a worthwhile venture that the fair board is happy to do each year, Carter said.

In 2015, the fair offered $173,000 in

premiums, and paid out just less than $70,000, even though it only took in $22,000 in entry fees from the participants.

The only larger expenses for the

fair are the music and attractions, which totaled $78,000 in 2015, according to reports filed with the state.

Carter said the board keeps down costs where it can. He is only paid $575 a year, and the administration and office staff only collected $9,798 in 2015.

At one time, the state helped with rehabilitation of county fairgrounds, but Carter said those funds have stopped.

In March 2015, Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration instructed county

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

fairs to stop spending state money on rehabilitation, according to news reports.

Out of slightly more than 100 county fairs in Illinois, the state allotted 92 a maximum of $13,250 each, or a total of around $1.3 million, according to the agriculture 2014 Rehabilitation Fund Report.

In 2012, Carter said the Grundy County Fair Board had to spend

Verona man charged with DUI after allegedly crashing car

MORRIS – A Verona man faces several charges after he allegedly sideswiped a car driven by Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland.

Alan R. Aldrich, 56, was arrested by Grundy County sheriff’s deputies June 29 on charges of felony aggravated driving under the influence, misdemeanor driving under the influence, driving with a revoked license, operating an uninsured motor vehicle, transportation or possession of alcoholic liquor in a motor vehicle by a driver and improper lane use.

Helland, who had his wife and child in the car, was driving east on Washington Street in Morris when Aldrich, going west on Washington Street, allegedly drove into the eastbound lane, crashing the side of his car into the back driver’s side of the car driven by Helland, Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said.

Assistant State’s Attorney Kyle Klukas said the preliminary blood-alcohol content for Aldrich was 0.33, four times the legal limit. Aldrich also tested positive for THC, the chemical found in marijuana, Klukas said. Aldrich has two prior DUIs and was held in the Grundy County Jail on a $200,000 bond. Ten percent or $20,000 must be posted for his release.

He was given a July 7 court date. A special prosecutor will be appointed to the case because of Helland’s status as the victim.

Protesters picket Grundy County Fair over elephant

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Outside the gates of the Grundy County Fair on Saturday was a small tent with an elephant.

Nosey is a roughly 7,000-pound elephant, rescued from Zimbabwe, said its owner Franciszka Liebel, who has owned the animal for 32 years.

“Thirty-two years ago, we adopted her from Zimbabwe after all of the adults were killed,” she said Saturday.

“They left the babies and someone brought them to the United States and adopted them out. We decided to do the best we can do for her. I had to do what felt right.”

As she explained how she got Nosey, a small group of people approached carrying signs protesting the use of the elephant as an attraction.

The “Nosey the Elephant Needs Our Help” Facebook page alleges the elephant is “living a miserable circuit life in solitary confinement” and was captured in Zimbabwe. The page also claims, among other things, that the elephant has been beaten and has a skin condition because of improper care by its owners.

The Grundy County Sheriff’s Department was called to the scene and after a brief exchange of words between the owner and patrons who were there

to see the elephant and the protesters, the protesters were removed from the private property and told they would need to go elsewhere to protest.

Burdette Carter, a fair board member and fair organizer, said the owners of Nosey love the animal and have all the necessary permits and inspections to be at the fair.

Carter said he called the police because he didn’t want protesters on the fairgrounds.

Across from the entrance to the Grundy County Fairgrounds the protesters joined those already staged on the highway waving signs and chanting to free Nosey.

Mark London of Lockport, who was asked to leave the fairgrounds, said he wasn’t there as a member of a particular group.

“I’m trying to spread awareness so people can start to be kind,” he said.

“I want to spread awareness that this animal is enslaved for human greed.”

Liebel disagrees with that statement.

She said she isn’t getting rich taking Nosey to fairs and shows, and is trying to provide for her family.

“Of course you have to make money. If you don’t support yourself, you are not a proper citizen,” she said.

MORRIS – Scott Stehlik, associate principal at Shabbona Middle School, tendered his resignation June 30.

“It is definitely with mixed emotions that I let you all know that I have resigned my position in the district effective today,” Stehlik said in an email sent to staff last Thursday. “In the last week, I have been given an opportunity that my family and I could not pass up.”

Stehlik, who was hired in May 2014, said Friday that he had accepted a similar assistant principal position in Lombard at a middle school.

“Scott was very hardworking and was an asset to the district,” Bonnie Cap, vice president of the Morris School District 54 board, said Friday. “I am very sad to see him leave but we wish him well.”

Stehlik was hired two years ago to replace Associate Principal Tom McLaughlin, who accepted a job at Elwood School District 203. Stehlik is the district’s second associate principal to step down heading into the 2016-17 academic year.

Chris Popidinski, associate principal at White Oak Elementary School, was approved at the June board meeting to step down from his position in administration and return next school year as a teacher at White Oak.

City OKs expansion of sewage treatment plant Morris approves a $2 million bid for expansion

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Expansion to the East Side Sewage Treatment Plant will move forward after the Morris City Council agreed Tuesday to spend about $2 million on the project.

The council unanimously approved a bid for $2.05 million from Leander Construction from Canton, which was the lowest of the nine bidders.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said the expansion will allow the plant to treat more water and was necessary because of the Costco Meat Processing expansion north of Interstate 80.

“With the expansion, we will see an increase in the amount of sewage we can treat a day,” Kopczick said. “Even though our permit will not go up past the 900,000 gallons we can treat now, the expansion would allow us to treat about 1.2 million gallons a day.”

Kopczick said it’s also part of the city’s long-term control plan project, which is required by the Illinois Envi-

“With the expansion, we will see an increase in the amount of sewage we can treat a day.”

MORRIS – Amy Delgado of Morris held an American flag high in the air, while her family proudly wore colors of the flag in honor of those who suffered after military deployments.

“We walked this to raise awareness of veteran suicide and post-traumatic stress disorder,” Delgado said.

“My great-uncle, Bill Owens, took his life after the Vietnam War, along with family friend Roberto DeLeon, who took his life after being in Afghanistan.

“We forget to remember that those who survived need help when they come back, and we need more funding for that area of vets’ lives.”

More than 400 adult and child runners and walkers took to the streets of downtown Morris on Sunday, clothed from head to toe in red, white and blue to honor those who have served our country.

MORRIS – Liz Collins was nearly raised at the Grundy County Fairgrounds, and so were her horses.

That familiarity is one reason she brought her horse to the ring this weekend, where she competed against others to win best in class.

“It’s the closest show I participate in,” Collins said. “It’s also the one I do best at. I think the horses do best here because they were trained here.”

This year, 63 horses were entered at the show, a higher number than typical for the fair, organizers said.

The show isn’t just for fun, though.

Riders pay to compete and a purse is attached to how well they place. Collins said at $20 a class, it’s a bit higher than other places for pleasure classes, but it’s reasonable for gaming classes.

Collins, who trains her own horses, said it takes a lot of work to get a show horse that can compete consistently.

Jaron Black, 12, of Grand Ridge, knows about putting a lot of work in on animals. To get his sheep ready to show, he has to wash, shear and work with the animals to get the most from the showing.

“The hardest part of showing them is getting them ready,” Black said.

fair together and cheer each other on.

They are both members of the same 4-H Club, and whether they are at a 4-H or a county fair, they know their dedication to the animals will make the difference.

Dittmer said the worst thing about getting his Boer goat ready to show is getting him clean.

“Having to wash them is the worst,” he said. “They are one of the worst animals to wash. They hate water.”

Black offered a suggestion that perhaps he should get the next goat used to water from the time it’s a baby, it may be easier when it comes time to wash it.

Dittmer said despite the issues he has getting and keeping the goat clean, it’s still his favorite animal to show.

“I like showing him because it’s something different, instead of the mainstream horse or cow,” he said.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com “Goats aren’t super demanding animals.”

Liz Collins of Minooka shows off her horse this year at the Grundy County Fair.

The one thing Collins, Black and Dittmer have in common is a back“When you are shearing them, you any part of showing them at the fair. can’t go all they way down to the skin.”

“Cattle are too big and take too long ground in 4-H.

With to still show at fairs is a great opportunity.

The hard work pays off, though, the sheep, it’s easier.”

Both Black and Dittmer said they when he gets in the ring and the judges Black’s friend Richard Dittmer, 14, choose his sheep as the winner. He also of Marseilles, prefers showing his goat. plan to show animals long after their raises cattle, but said he doesn’t want Black and Dittmer walk around the 4-H days are over as well.

MORRIS – Mackenzie Granby of Mazon has been named the 2016 Miss Grundy County Fair Queen.

Granby brought experience to the stage on the opening night of the fair Wednesday as she competed with three other women for the title. In 2008 Granby was crowned Junior Miss at the same pageant.

“This was my last year to do it and I thought, ‘Why not?’ ” she said. “High school and FFA matured me when it comes to speaking in public.”

The 20-year-old Mazon native is a graduate of Seneca High School and is employed at Strawberry Plant Boutique in Morris.

Her goal in competing was to show other young women growing up on the farm that it’s OK to show their intelligence and go after what they want.

“I want to be someone kids can look up to,” she said.

She is the daughter of Alise Marques and Gary Granby, and has six siblings.

Her speech mentioned that when her brother went off to college, the

SHAW MEDIA MINOOKA – Contrary to rumors, the Minooka Police Department has not arrested anyone in connection with a recent string of identity thefts, Police Chief Justin Meyer said in a statement issued last week.

Minooka police received at least 70 reports of identity theft earlier this month.

Meyer said the department was initially in contact with a law enforcement agency in Missouri that had arrested two people on charges related to “card cloning.”

The pair happened to be in the Bloomington-Normal area earlier this month. Evidence found in the investigation, however, had no ties to Minooka.

The department is working with the U.S. Secret Service, Meyer said, which has collected extensive bank records provided by victims.

“The USSS is now analyzing that data and hopefully can provide our department, and you, the answers we are looking for in one to two weeks,” Meyer said in the statement issued June 29.

MINOOKA – Despite the fact that a youth organization charges a fee for its program, Minooka trustees agreed to allow it to continue using the village’s community room.

It recently came to the attention of the village that Champion Youth Outreach might be in conflict with village policy, which requires that community room users not be in competition with local businesses. Use of the community room is free.

The nonprofit has been holding weekly self-defense and safety classes in Minooka for more than eight years and in the village’s community center for some time, Champion program director Tex Sanders said.

“Once we allow you, we are going to have 50 other requests,” said Trustee Terry Houchens, who helped draft the policy for use of the community room.

Sanders went before the village board on June 28 to explain that while Champion charges a $6 fee a week for each family, the majority of the fee is used to cover insurance, along with administrative costs and instructor pay.

Champion caters to families who can’t afford the cost of typical martial arts classes. People who want more

Coal City District 1 superintendent exams. In the past, District 1 has used ACT exams.

However, the state went out for a bid on testing and SAT received the bid. Elledge’s report made a recommendation to the board to adopt the tests offered by SAT. Bugg said it essentially would be a transition from ACT to SAT testing.

The board also discussed neighbors’ concerns with the high school’s baseball field at the district.

Recently, two houses were built across the street from the field and neighbors sent a letter to the board requesting a higher backstop, Bugg said.

Backstops catch baseballs that fly out of the field.

COAL CITY – Coal City Unit District 1 officials plan to do renovation and repair work at the high school football stadium.

At the June 29 special board meeting, the Board of Education approved, 5-0, the awarding of a bid to Plainfield-based R. L. Sohol General Contractor to renovate the athletic stadium fencing for a base bid of $195,000.

Superintendent Kent Bugg said the board also approved awarding bids to the contractor to resurface and restripe the track at the stadium for $57,000 as well as to turn a pad at the southeast side of the football field into concrete for $15,000.

Board members Chuck Lander and Quint Harmon were absent.

Bugg said that, over the years, a concrete pad at the football stadium was starting to buckle and pose a safety issue, so the board decided it wanted not only to fix the pad, but also make renovations to the field.

“We’ve been aggressively trying to complete some capital projects while we’re in a positive financial position,” Bugg said.

Last year, the board voted to transfer funds to pay for capital improvement projects that were underway during the summer. The transferred money was to be used to pay for roof replacement at two schools, door replacement, electrical work and plumbing.

“We’ve been aggressively trying to complete some capital projects while we’re in a positive financial position.”

This particular diamond ring seeks its owner

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent YORKVILLE – It was a typical workday when Israel Perez of Channahon and other members of a private engineering consulting firm’s work crew went out to map underground utilities near Yorkville. Shortly after they began to break up soil, a shiny surprise shot up from underground.

“Things constantly fly out of the holes we dig, so when this flew up and out, I didn’t pay much attention because it just looked like a pop top,” Perez said. “It was reflecting light and I stared at it again and noticed it was a ring – almost like it wanted to be found.”

Perez and crew had looked for water lines and used an air lance with compressed air in a pipe to break up soil and a vacuum hose to remove the soil. He said he was a couple of feet underground when the ring shot out onto the ground, so thoughts were it had been there for a while.

“Since I didn’t know how long it had been there, I wondered who may have been here in previous generations. Then I thought maybe someone got mad and flung it out of a car window, from a farmer’s wife since we

were in farmland, or floated through a nearby culvert; every possibility was on the table,” he said.

Perez placed the diamond engagement ring into his pocket for safe keeping and went home to further investigate his finding.

“It has unique markings, so I went online to see if I could find similar rings and match it to a store, but I didn’t find any particular style name or ring,” he said.

Perez kept the ring safe in his home, and debated whether to take it to authorities, or attempt to find the rightful owner himself.

Perez also has his own photography business on the side, and in his head, he could picture the moment where he handed over the ring to its owner and could capture that moment on camera.

“I lost my wedding band and it would have been so neat to have someone return it to me,” Perez said.

Mike Harrington, owner of Harrington’s Fine Jewelry in Morris, examined the ring for Perez, but no identifying markers were found.

“Sometimes certified stones have laser inscriptions on the girdle of the stone, and with a little investigation, we could find more information, but I

didn’t find anything on this stone to help,” Harrington said.

Harrington also concluded that due to the 18-karat white gold material, that it was not an older ring as Perez had once thought, but a piece made within the past 20 years. Harrington also offered an estimated appraised value, and identifying markers for Perez to use when a potential

Perez said anyone who thinks this ring may be their property can contact him via email at Israel@izzyworthashotphotography.com.

Handbook changes

The school board also approved last week the handbook for the coming school year, which makes significant changes in the way its four grade schools suspend and expel students.

The changes are required due to a new state law.

Superintendent Nick Henkle said the changes in student behavior pol-

icies, previously called student discipline, include stricter reasons to impose out-of-school suspensions.

“You have to have a major cause such as student endangerment,” Henkle told board members, for exclusionary discipline, which includes out-ofschool suspensions and expulsions and placement of students in alternative schools for disciplinary reasons.

Out-of-school suspensions will be given only if a student’s presence in school poses a threat to school safety or a disruption to other students’ learning opportunities.

A suspension of longer than three days also requires the district provide appropriate support services if available, such as counseling.

Also new is that zero-tolerance policies are now banned in public and charter schools.

“There are no more zero tolerance policies anymore,” Henkle said.

“We’ll have to handle these situations case by case.”

Henkle said that prior to the changes, administrators had unofficial no tolerance policies for behavior such as hurting another student.

The Channahon schools will also put in place more communication be-

tween the school and parents when there are suspensions and will do more to work with suspended students when they transition back to school.

Other handbook changes include stronger standards for dealing with student concussions and other head injuries. High schools have already implemented similar policies, which are now required for the younger grades, including a return-to-play protocol, a return-to-learn protocol and establishment of a concussion oversight team than includes at least one physician, a school nurse and an administrator such as the athletic director.

Another change is a nonedible treat policy for school celebrations such as birthdays.

Students can bring toys, pencils or other nonfood items to share with their class for special occasions. With the number of food-based allergies increasing and other students sensitive to gluten-containing foods, the new policy makes sense, Henkle said.

“It’s a hard change, but the bottom line is it’s a safety policy,” Henkle said. “It was also disrupting to learning in the middle of the day.”

CHANNAHON – The Channahon School District 17 board on June 28 approved its fiscal 2017 tentative budget, which will be displayed for public inspection through Aug. 22, when the board is scheduled to hold a public hearing.

Chief school business official Mike Schroeder said the overall budget is down 9.9 percent, or $1.75 million, from this year.

Of significance is the line item for debt payment, which will decrease to zero. The district set an accelerated payoff schedule for bonds issued and made its final payment this year, saving taxpayers considerable dollars in interest.

The district’s 2015 fiscal year tentative budget included $2.13 million in debt payment, and there was an additional $1.46 million in 2016. This year, Schroeder said, this is a bill that will not come.

Also in the 2017 tentative budget is a 3.2 percent increase in education fund expenditures and a 23.2 percent decrease in operations and maintenance expenditures due to the pur-

chase this year of a new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system at Three Rivers School and of a box truck.

The total revenues for 2017 are a tentative $20.4 million, and expenditures are estimated at $17.9 million.

A five-year contract with the district’s custodial staff was also approved that includes 3 percent raises for the next two years for staff hired before 1999 and 4 percent raises for staff who began after 1999. For the remaining three years of the contract, custodians will be given raises based on the Urban Consumer Price Index, with a floor of 2.5 percent and a ceiling of 4 percent.

Board members Misty Kosek, Julie Bankes and Joan Ferguson were absent.

“If you are not willing to take care of yourself, your community and your country, you don’t belong here,” Liebel said.

Liebel wasn’t born in the United States but said she is a proud citizen who feels she is living the American Dream.

“These groups come and protest us all over the country. They say they are nonprofit but they make more money off my elephant than I do,” she said. “ ... I was so happy I was born in this century, but now I’m living a nightmare. They don’t tolerate my views. It’s no longer blacks or gay people; now they want to kill people with elephants. They are home-grown, home-nurtured terrorists.”

Protester Lori Hilt of Morris said she decided to picket after reading online about the elephant.

“We know that Nosey has been owned by the owners for over 30 years, but in the photos the feet are shackled to a post and she has no room to move,” Hilt said. “I don’t agree it should be in this type of environment. It needs to be in a wildlife setting.”

There was a mix of emotions from those passing by as they entered or exited the fairgrounds. Some honked and gave the thumbs-up, others stuck up their middle fingers and yelled demeaning comments to the protesters.

The protesters responded to both negative and positive reactions in a uniform way: smiling, giving a thumbs-up or blowing kisses.

No tickets were issued, no one was arrested and Nosey continued to give rides to fair-goers or be fed from a cup full of food bought by those there to visit.

“Thirty-two years ago, we adopted her from Zimbabwe after all of the adults were killed.

They left the babies and someone brought them to the United States and adopted them out.”

UP CLOSE A fairly good time Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – Great weather and fun times were both in order and in abundance at the 112th annual Grundy County Fair, which was held from June 29 through July 3.

The fair hosted competitions to show off the farm’s best chickens, sheep, cattle, goats, hogs and horses, with families driving in from miles around to compete.

For the nonfarm family, attractions such as Magic Matt and the carnival were in full swing all weekend and topped off with a fireworks show Sunday night.

• LIBERTY 5K

More than 350 runners and walkers took to the streets of downtown Morris Sunday for the annual Liberty 5K run/walk to honor the military and showcase downtown Morris.

Dora Rosales Morris resident

Numbers did rise from 250 on Friday to 357 5K runners at race time, and 46 children who were 13 years old and younger took the streets for quarter-mile and half-mile runs.

Hot weather was not a factor this year, with temperatures in the 60s at race time.

Applegate said the evening run was strategically planned to be late enough in the afternoon to beat the summer heat, but allow runners to enjoy the race and activities and still make it over to the Grundy County Speedway for the evening’s fireworks display.

The course ran through downtown Morris, around parks, through neighborhoods and back downtown in front of Ebbey George’s Sports Bar and Grill for a free hot dog or burger.

Runners of drinking age also could taste a free beer.

military, showcase downtown Morris and support healthy activities.

“Morris has great retail and great events. It’s a fun place to shop, enjoy activities and learn about the history of our town,” Applegate said.

The events began while Morris YMCA fitness instructor Sarah Lauterbach held a stretch session for the youth runners to “teach them the importance of warming up before a race in order to prevent injury,” she said.

Dora Rosales of Morris said this was her first 5K run Sunday to honor her stepson, Jacob Marquez, who just joined the U.S. Marines.

“This race was a good way to start running and to support our military. They fight for, and do a lot for our country. That’s something to be proud of,” Rosales said.

Unlike most early morning races, the Liberty 5K took off at 6:15 p.m. with a kids run, and the main 5K launched at 7:15 p.m. “Our attendance was lower than normal this year,” Applegate said. “I think that it’s on a Sunday night might have hindered turnout because people are out of town for the holiday, but we wanted to keep the race on July 3 for tradition. Two years ago we had 518 runners.”

fsarver@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – The Independence Day Celebration in Channahon is one that is embraced by the community, including the homes around the park where it was held Monday.

The people who come make a day of it, said Nicole Vaira, Channahon Park District program manager.

“They really just find a spot and call it their home for five hours before they leave for the day. People really just get comfortable and really enjoy it,” she said.

The event, hosted by the Channahon Park District, is one of several held Sunday and Monday in Will and Grundy counties celebrating the Fourth of July. Firework celebrations were scheduled in Joliet, Morris, Frankfort, New Lenox and other communities.

While the fireworks show was canceled at the Channahon event, it nevertheless drew hundreds to the park to enjoy food vendors – such as Taco Burrito King and Tropical Sno – music, dodgeball and live entertainment.

The event also was scheduled to have a Superhero Freedom Parade with children and their families decorating their bikes, wagons and them-

celebration. “It was phenomenal the first year and it keeps getting better.”

Vaira didn’t know how many people came out to celebration Monday but she said last year that close to 5,000 people attended.

She said it’s a mostly free event that offers inflatables, face painting, petting zoos and a dunk tank. Most of the homes around Community Park where the event was held embrace it, she said.

“They really embrace what we’re doing,” she said.

Kernel Dan’s Kettle Corn, based in Glen Ellyn, was at the celebration for a second year. Wearing a patriotic bandana around his head, Jeff Klausner, the owner, was helping to make kettle corn for visitors at the event.

“It’s a little sweet, a little salty,” Klausner said of the kettle corn.

He said his business has been to many outdoor events and festivals and while he was a little nervous about the lack of fireworks at the Channahon Independence Day celebration, it was nevertheless a fun event.

“It’s everything you’d want. It’s fun… I’m essentially making money, doing something I love, owning a small business and I got music and nice people. I can’t really complain about that,” Klausner said.

What exactly does the Chamber do?

When I meet someone new, or see someone again after quite some time, and I tell them that I am now the executive director of the Chamber, often I am asked what a chamber of commerce does.

I found this surprising at first.

I’ve used the benefits of local chambers throughout my professional life – whether it was attending a Business After Hours to meet business associates when I was new to a community, or stopping in the visitors’ center for lunch menus for area restaurants.

I was surprised that not everyone is familiar with chambers and how much they benefit the communities they are living in.

After getting this question numerous times in my last nine months with the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry, I’ve realized more often than not it’s not that the person asking me

“

VIEWS Christina Van Yperen doesn’t really know what a Chamber does – it’s more that they think Chambers only hold events, or only keep brochures. Now I enjoy telling them how much more the Grundy County Chamber does than just luncheons and county maps.

We do all of those things and take pride in doing so. But these are benefits of having a Chamber, not our main purpose.

The Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry is an organization for business and professional people to work together for the common good of the community.

A better community means better business conditions, and we work

for a better community for everyone.

What do we do?

Whatever is necessary to keep the area’s economic condition at a level where businesses will risk their resources here in hope of making a profit; the rest is just a means to an end.

What is necessary is connecting business to business, working with the education community to increase the potential of our future workforce, investing in local shopping campaigns, encouraging entrepreneurship, providing training, forging relationships and so much more.

In any community, it is from the profitable operations of business that all other benefits are derived.

It is only in this success that we can provide the jobs and produce the wealth to finance all the governmental, civic, educational, cultural and

Our Board of Directors and management team believe this transaction will position us well into the future to serve our markets far beyond our existing capabilities, and we are excited about the opportunities this organizational structure will bring to our shareholders and customers.

CEO and president of Ottawa Savings Bancorp Inc.

Ottawa Savings Bancorp announces adoption of plan of conversion and reorganization SUBMITTED REPORT OTTAWA – Ottawa Savings Bancorp Inc. (the company), the parent company for Ottawa Savings Bank (the bank), announced in June that its Board of Directors, together with the Board of Directors of Ottawa Savings Bancorp MHC and the Bank (the MHC), unanimously have adopted a plan of conversion and reorganization.

Pursuant to the plan of conversion, the MHC will sell its majority ownership in the company to the public.

The company, which currently is in the mutual holding company structure, will reorganize to a fully public stock-holding company in a transaction commonly referred to as a “second step” conversion, according to a news release.

As part of the second step conver-

sion, the bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of a new holding company, which will be named Ottawa Bancorp Inc. Shares of common stock of the company held by persons other than the MHC (whose shares will be canceled) will be converted into shares of common stock of the new holding company pursuant to an exchange ratio intended to preserve the percentage ownership interests of such persons, according to the release.

In the stock offering, depositors of the bank with qualifying deposits as of May 31, 2015, will have first priority to purchase the shares of common stock of the new holding company.

“Our Board of Directors and management team believe this transaction will position us well into the future to serve our markets far beyond our existing capabilities, and we are excited

about the opportunities this organizational structure will bring to our shareholders and customers,” Jon Kranov, the president and CEO of the company and the bank, said in the release.

The second-step conversion will be subject to approval by the depositors and certain borrowers of the bank, by the company’s shareholders (including the approval of a majority of the shares held by persons other than the MHC) and by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Information, including the details of the offering and business and financial information about the company and the bank, will be provided in proxy materials and a prospectus when the offering commences, which is expected to be during the third quarter of 2016.

charitable needs that our community is faced with every day.

Along with what is the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry, it should be asked, who is the Chamber?

The Chamber is the 18 members of the Board of Directors, the Chamber staff, and the more than 500 businesses that are Chamber members. Our members are the Chamber.

They provide the ideas, the drive, the goals, the funds and the voluntary services to keep the Chamber thriving.

We wholeheartedly thank your members for their dedication not only to the Chamber, but also to the community they’ve helped build, support and flourish.

United Way holds fundraisers, celebrations

There are always a variety of great fundraisers in the community that help support some wonderful causes in Grundy County. Whether you golf, dine, bowl, or dance, there is always something to do that is fun while supporting a local nonprofit agency at the same time.

United Way of Grundy County has some upcoming fundraisers that we are excited about! On July 13, we partner with the new Morris Buffalo Wild Wings for an “Eat Wings. Raise Funds” fundraiser.

United Way can earn 10 percent of the dine-in or carry-out sales for those who present the EWRF ticket. Tickets can be printed at www.UWGrundy.org/events. html or Facebook page United Way of Grundy County.

Buffalo Wild Wings Morris manager Eric Perez added: “This EWRF program will allow Buffalo Wild Wings and our guests to support our friends and neighbors, making Morris an even better place to live.

COMMUNITY PULSE Karen Nall Like Buffalo Wild Wings, the United Way has a longstanding reputation for supporting their community. It seems like a natural fit for us to partner with United Way to support our community with this event on July 13.”

Gather your co-workers and order lunch for the office, or take a night off from cooking and bring your family for dinner. Don’t forget to print the ticket or show it on your phone so your purchase counts. Another fundraiser we are gearing up for is our annual campaign celebration.

This event is not just a fundraiser, but also a time to reflect on the successes of our campaign, thank our generous donors, and highlight the great work our

Community Partner Agencies do to positively impact the residents of Grundy County.

Since 2011, the event has featured themes where attendees dress in costume to match the theme such as the ’50s, western, and superhero. This year, the event is a little different. United Way of Grundy County is celebrating its 70th anniversary in Grundy County, so this year’s theme will be a Red Carpet event.

We encourage people to dress in formal “red carpet” attire, but jackets are not required. The event will take place Sept.

7 at the Morris Country Club.

There are sponsorship opportunities available and we are currently looking for auction item donations. This is a great way for businesses to showcase their products by donating items to be auctioned. We also hope many people will plan to attend this event – we only will hit 70 years once!

There are many opportunities to help those in need in our community. Attend-

ing a fundraiser is a great way to help support a nonprofit agency and have fun doing it.

Giving to the United Way of Grundy County helps more than one agency, more than one program, and more than one person. The United Way of Grundy County currently funds 32 local nonprofit agencies that provide more than 50 vital programs and services in Grundy County. Giving to United Way positively impacts all 32 agencies in our community.

For information about the fundraisers, call 815-942-4430, visit www.UWGrundy.org or find us on Facebook.

Mazon Masonic Lodge Scholarship winners announced SUBMITTED REPORT MAZON – Two Seneca High School graduates earned two of six $1,000 university scholarships annually awarded

by Mazon Masonic Lodge 826.

Hannah Brickey of Seneca plans to use her scholarship toward a major in English education at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. Upon graduating, she wants to teach high school English classes.

“I’ve always loved English and I’ve had so many excellent English teachers who have inspired me so much,” she said at the recent scholarship presentation event conducted by the lodge’s worshipful master, Richard Leach II. Brickey was elated at her win. Five graduating seniors had tried out for the scholarships.

“It was hard for me to sleep that night after the winners were announced,” she said.

The other winner from Seneca, Cassandra Cruise, was not available for the presentation.

Jessica Webber of Morris, a recent graduate of Morris High School, was equally surprised at winning a scholarship.

“I couldn’t believe I had gotten it,” she said.

Webber wants to work toward a double major in biology and neuropsychiatry at the University of Maryland in College Park.

by Masonic Lodge 826 of Mazon. With Lodge Treasurer Norman Madison (from left) are Sydney Bartels of Gardner-South Wilmington, John Halloran of Coal City, Jessica Weber of Morris, Hannah Brinkley of Seneca, and Lodge Worshipful Master Richard Leach II. Missing from photo are graduates Cassandra Cruise of Seneca and Kelsey Little of Minooka.

John Halloran of Coal City, a graduate of Coal City High School, was pleased with his win.

“Quite a few people had applied for it, so I was really happy I was able to get it,” Halloran said. He plans to attend San Diego State University and major in international business.

“I’ve always been interested in foreign languages and culture and I like studying international things,” he said.

“I know I’ll be able to travel a lot and hopefully make money at the same time. I’m really looking forward to going overseas and all over the world, I

guess.”

Sydney Bartels of Braceville graduated from Gardner-South Wilmington High School. Like her contemporaries, she was surprised at learning she had won a scholarship.

The application included a questionnaire on leadership and qualities the applicant sought in a teacher.

“That interested me,” Bartels noted.

“It seemed like something I could be comfortable with.”

The last Masonic scholarship winner, Kelsey Little of Minooka, also was not available for the event.

The only Masonic fraternity still alive and active in Grundy County, Lodge 826 annually donates one scholarship each to four of the five high schools still active in the county. The remaining two scholarships go to Seneca High School, which also encompasses the Mazon-Verona-Kinsman School District Norman R. Madison, treasurer of Mazon Lodge 826, is a state past grand lecturer and member of the State Masonic Board of Grand Examiners, and the Scottish Rite. His father was the late Oliver Madison of Mazon, for whom the Oliver Madison Memorial Masonic Scholarship was created.

“My father passed away [in 1896],” Norman Madison noted. “He was a longtime member of Mazon Lodge and the Mazon High School District Board. We thought it a good idea to start a scholarship memorial fund that would benefit some of the graduating seniors.”

An annual chili supper and silent auction in Gardner chaired by Dale Tyler, and a late winter-early spring pancake breakfast has supported the program, as do the lodge members’ own efforts if needed. Because of good public response to the benefits, Lodge 826 has not dipped into its treasury recently to meet the cost of the scholarships.

“In the past three to four years, we haven’t tapped into the scholarship funds because we’ve been able to earn enough money without,” Madison said.

Pete Fleming of Minooka was at the fair June 29 with his children, Keighera, 6, and Everett, 2.

They stood outside Magic Matt’s tent, watching as he created a Spider-Man and a mermaid out of balloons.

“It’s cost-effective and local,” Pete Fleming said when asked what brought him to the fair. The kids said they came for the carnival.

After walking the midway of the small carnival, the Fleming family visited the animal barns, saying they enjoyed the hands-on experience with farm animals that others brought to show. Magic Matt, who has performed at the Grundy County Fair for more than 10 years, said one of the best things about the fair is the families he sees each year and gets to know.

“It’s a good time close to home,” Magic Matt said. “I have a lot of regulars here, and now some of the older kids have kids of their own they bring to see me.”

$73,000 to keep the grounds safe and well-kept just to be able to hold the fair. That money was not fully reimbursed and also came from funds from the speedway, something Carter said Grundy County is lucky to have.

“We are more fortunate than a lot of county fairs because we have the speedway,” he said.

It isn’t all about the money, however.

Carter knows the dusty, gravel-covered fairgrounds will jump to life each year when farmers from all over the state – and even as far away as Texas – converge on the grounds, taking their animals with them in trailers.

“That’s what it’s about,” he said as he pointed to a young man washing his steer.

He prides himself in offering a family experience, a place for kids and their parents to visit, bond and enjoy themselves at.

He said whether they come to show their animals or take in a race, it is that experience he strives to enhance each year.

Although July 3 typically is the busiest day at the fair because of the grandstand show followed by fireworks, every day families are walking around and participating in the day’s

Midwest rideATAXIA to begin 5th trek Organizers aim to attract the public to fundraising event

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

CHANNAHON – In 2008, when she was 12, Emily Young was diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia, a genetic condition that causes progressive damage to the nervous system.

But it doesn’t keep Young, now 20 and of Gibson City, from riding a recumbent bicycle and fundraising for a cure.

Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance hosts the nationwide rideATAXIA to raise money for research. Becky Young, Emily’s mother, said five annual rides are held throughout the country.

The Midwest ride, now in its fifth year, offers fully supported 4-, 12-, 27- and 50-mile scenic cycling routes in Channahon, Morris and Minooka, Becky said.

“We looked around for an area that would be close to Chicago, yet have some country and scenery and be a safe place for riders,” Becky said.

About 350 people participated last year, mostly people with Friedreich’s ataxia and their family and friends, Becky said. That included kids riding in pull carts and seniors age 65, she added.

This year, organizers are hoping for more community involvement.

“I think FARA is trying to stress that this is for people of all abilities,” Becky said. “We’ve actually had people push their rides through the 4-mile route so they can participate because they physically can’t do it. [At rideATAXIA] there are all kinds of bikes and all kinds of riders.”

Getting involved in FARA is a family affair. Emily’s father, Rick Young, is riding this year, as is her brother, Andy Young, who will pull his 2-yearold daughter in a cart, Becky said.

Becky has biked in past rides, but is stepping back this year to help run the event. In addition, Emily’s sister, Jamie Young, now works for FARA. Jamie’s title is rideATAXIA & Team FARA program coordinator, Becky said.

So far, Team Emily is the top fundraiser for the 2015 Midwest ride, having raised more than $11,000. Last year, the Midwest ride raised $80,000, Becky said. This year the goal is $85,000, according to the event website.

“As a family and a community, we’re trying to raise awareness and

Becky recalled when Emily was diagnosed. She said Emily’s gait appeared different and thought Emily might have scoliosis. The family eventually ended up at Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Chicago, where Emily was quickly diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia through genetic testing.

“The doctors told us to come up without Emily just because it’s not easy news to hear,” Becky said. “So Rick and I made that trip alone.”

It was sobering news. Becky and Rick learned both parents must carry the gene for a child to be affected.

“They told us to take all our vacations now,” Becky said. “Because as time went on, that would become more difficult to do.”

Eighteen months after her diagnosis, Emily had her entire spine fused, a seven-hour procedure, Becky said.

Her scoliosis – a symptom of Friedreich’s ataxia – had progressed, Becky said, and was pushing on her heart and lungs. Balance also became an issue, although Emily kept her goal of remaining wheelchair-free until she graduated from high school, Becky said.

For information, visit www.curefa.org or call Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance at 484-879-6160 Emily also has mild heart disease and slowed speech, but fighting fatigue is her biggest challenge. Life expectancy with Friedreich’s ataxia varies.

Some people reach their 60s and others pass away in their 20s, Becky said.

Currently, Emily is enrolled in a clinical trial as the disorder has no treatment or cure, only symptom management. Even if a cure is not possible, Becky hopes the trial might slow – or even halt – the disease’s progression.

Emily’s doctors also provided her with their cellphone numbers.

One is a neurologist at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The

other is a cardiologist in Indiana. Both are leading researchers in the effort to find treatment, Becky said.

Becky said Emily may call them at any time, day or night, if she has a question, problem or just needs someone to talk her through a symptom.

“They are amazing people,” Becky said.

Friedreich’s ataxia imposes limitations on Emily, but it doesn’t stop her.

Emily is studying human development at the University of Illinois in Champaign and wants to become a family counselor. This past year, Emily lived on campus; this spring, she earned an associate’s degree in psychology.

“Family resiliency – like when a crisis happens to a family, getting diagnosed with a disease or having a loss – is a dynamic that interests me,” Emily said.

Although Emily enjoyed biking before her diagnosis, she enjoys it more now because it’s a physical activity she can do often. A good day for Emily is any day the weather is nice and she can spend time with family and friends.

“No one really knows what their life is going to be like,” Emily said. “So every day just has to be a positive experience, working toward the future.”

SUBMITTED REPORT CHANNAHON – This July, Channahon Park District residents don’t need to be bitten by a radioactive spider to discover they have superpowers.

They just need to visit their nearest park or recreation center to find superpowers they didn’t know they had.

The Channahon Park District is celebrating Park and Recreation Month, an initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association, and all the ways parks and recreation has the power to transform our daily lives.

From providing us places to get fit and stay healthy to fostering new relation-

ships and forging a connection with nature, our close-to-home community park and recreation facilities provide essential services and improve quality of life.

The Channahon Park District will celebrate Park and Recreation Month through many free events including: • Rock Your Cape, a new and free event July 12 at Heritage Crossing Field House; • Movie in the Park, featuring the movie “Inside Out,” on July 27 in Central Park.

Some fun monthlong activities include a park selfie contest through NRPA and deck games at Tomahawk

Aquatic Center every Tuesday and Thursday evening during the month of July.

NRPA is celebrating the month by hosting a selfie photo contest. From July 4 through 31, NRPA will issue weekly challenges for people to get out in their parks and recreation facilities and discover their superpowers.

Weekly prizes will be awarded. The contest can be entered via Facebook or by uploading a photo to Twitter and Instagram using #SuperJuly and #SuperParkSelfie. Visit www.nrpa.

36 BOYS BASKETBALL: MORRIS SHOOTOUT

After 31 years, Morris Shootout still a success

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Another year, another Morris Boys Shootout in the books.

The 31st annual event concluded June 30 when Loyola Academy defeated Belleville West, 54-47, to win the championship. The Ramblers became the 19th school to capture a title at the event.

In all, there were 91 games over two days, more than enough to make even the most dedicated basketball junkie’s head spin.

Besides being the Morris head coach, Joe Blumberg is also the event organizer. He was thanked and praised all throughout the Twitterverse for a well-run event.

“First I need to thank our coaching staff, players, and parent volunteers for their efforts and time,” Blumberg said.

“Without them, the event wouldn’t stand a chance. They do a great job of making programs feel welcome to be at Morris High School.”

With so many games in such a short time frame, keeping things in order is one of the top priorities for organizers.

As is the case during the regular season, quality officiating is invaluable to quality basketball.

“Joe Thomas does a great job of getting quality officials who control the games,” Blumberg said. “He is sort of the man behind the scenes now, but the work he does in April and May is instrumental to our success.

“Of the 91 games we had, not one started late. That speaks volumes not only to the job that Joe and his officials did, but also to the coaches of the 32 programs involved. They value discipline, demand that their kids work hard and respect the game of basketball. There were no fights or altercations, not one player, coach or fan kicked out. Our shootout was a success because of the way the 32 participating programs conduct themselves.”

Over the past 30 years, the event has seen just about every type of weather that a summer in Illinois can provide, usually the hot and humid variety. The shootout was blessed this year with two of the best days it could have had, with temperatures hovering near 80 degrees with very low humidity.

But that doesn’t mean that Blumberg wasn’t prepared for something worse.

“The weather wasn’t an issue this year,” he said. “We didn’t have to worry about the humidity or slippery floors. We have in the past, so we had the big floor fans ready to be rented from the Sun Belt Company, but we ended up canceling that order because

Of course, an event of this size and scope doesn’t run on an empty stomach, and many local businesses chipped in with their services in that regard.

“I need to thank Maria’s, Corleone’s, R Place, and Turtle’s for keeping our hospitality room and concession stand stocked with good food,” Blumberg said. “Athletic Outfitters helps with awards, Brandt’s Printing helps with the programs, Logo Works does a great job with our T-shirt. And the City of Morris continues to be our biggest supporter. We try to get several teams that travel and spend a couple of days in our gyms and downtown shops.”

When the Morris Shootout started 31 years ago, it was the only summer tournament of its kind and drew the best of the best from around the state.

Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com

“But I think the history we have, and the dedication to quality hospitality continues to keep the Morris Shootout as one of the best in the state of Illinois.”

“Tyler and Nate both work well inside,” Blumberg said. “With teams focusing on Matt, it should help keep things open for them. And, we sometimes throw it into them with the intent of having them kicking it back out to an open guard, and both of them are very good passers. We really hope to have a more balanced attack this year between inside and outside.

“And, when we have to bring guys off the bench, Colin Kingsbury, Payton Voitik and Kam Dransfeldt all do a good job, so we won’t be losing much when Tyler or Nate have to sit down.”

MORRIS – After a school record streak of six seasons with at least 16 wins, the Morris boys basketball team struggled to a 10-18 mark last season after seeing more than 90 percent of its scoring from the season before leave due to graduation.

That left an inexperienced group returning for the Redskins, and it took most of the season for them to come together as a team.

However, the experience they did gain was on display last week during the two days of the 31st Annual Morris Shootout.

The Redskins finished with a 2-3 record, but the improvement shown in the quality of their play was evident.

Matt Shaw, a senior guard who led Morris in scoring last year with a 14 points a game average, was happy to see how the team performed.

“We have had a lot of improvement,” Shaw said. “We will have a lot more experience this year. Almost everyone is back from last year. I feel like if we keep improving the way we have, we will have a pretty good year when winter comes.

“We play together pretty well.

We’ve been playing together for a long time and we all know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. We know the system a lot better now, too, so we know where we’re supposed to be, and everyone gets to where they’re supposed to be.”

Morris coach Joe Blumberg also saw plenty of positives from his team that includes seniors Kyion Willis, Jordan Olson, Jaquan Boxley, Shaw, Delaney Stutzki and Nate Halcomb and juniors Nathan Wantland, Kam Dransfeldt, Tyler Dunne, Aurelius Lennon-Rios, Blake Breyman, Payton Voitik, Tyler Spiezio and Colin Kingsbury.

All but Lennon-Rios, who was on a family vacation, were on hand for the tournament, and all saw plenty of playing time.

One of the downfalls for the Redskins last season was consistency at the guard position, something that Blumberg feels will be corrected this season.

“Obviously, Matt Shaw will be a key player for us,” Blumberg said.

“And he has really been impressive so far with his leadership and maturity. He’s going to get played more

Minooka hopes to keep success rolling

By TIM TIERNEY

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – A Southwest Prairie Conference championship, a regional title for the first time since 1977 and an impressive 23-9 record.

The 2015-16 season was a special one for the Minooka basketball program. The Indians ended their tournament preparation for next season at last week’s Morris Boys Shootout with expectations of more good times to come.

“We definitely expect to continue the success we had,’’ Minooka coach Scott Tanaka said between games at the 32-team event. “We’ve won 15 or more games for five straight years. Our kids have done a great job of building a winning tradition at Minooka.

“We are very excited about not only our freshmen class, our sophomore class, but also the varsity guys we have coming back.’’

Jon Butler and Keegan Graebner started for the team that advanced to the Class 4A Lockport Sectional semifinals before losing to Oswego. The other three starters were seniors, including Jon’s brother, Joe, who is moving on to Illinois State on a baseball scholarship.

“We’re missing a lot of pieces, but we have good guys coming back,’’ Graebner said. “I think we can do something special this season as well.’’

Preparation began this summer. Minooka also participated in shootouts at Joliet West and Oswego East, and played Monday nights at Joliet Central against several different teams.

Minooka was winless in five games at the Morris Shootout, but the Indians struggled to win last summer and still had an historic winter.

“We’ve had some kids injured this summer that has hurt some of our growth in regards to our varsity team,’’ Tanaka said. “But with the summer leagues we’ve been at, we’ve been able to get a lot of young guys some significant varsity

r the o f t fi Bene

mores who have done a great job for us this summer,’’ Tanaka said. “They might not be with us during the varsity campaign, but they’re a huge part of our future. They’ve done a great job of being committed and dedicated the entire summer.’’

Tanaka called the Graebners the ‘’two most important guards’’ on the team. As such, they’ll play a big role in the Indians’ success.

“I don’t think anybody is going to predict us to win as many games, to get over 20,’’ Keegan Graebner said. “But I still have the same expectations as last year.

You do as well as you can.’’

“I think a lot of people will count us out this year,’’ Kyle Graebner said. “But we have a new addition, Adrian Gutierrez, who will help us out a lot. Jon [Butler] is returning and Keegan with his varsity experience. We’ll be all right.’’

Jon Butler, an all-conference selection last season as a junior, knows one path to success.

“Defensively, because that was our Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media main thing last year,’’ Butler said. “EvMinooka’s Jonny Butler drives to the basket in front of Bolingbrook’s Daniel Burford (left) eryone new comes in and works, we can and Nana Akenten on June 29. play the same defense we did last year.’’ experience, where they’re going to bene- man.

Tanaka realizes the 2016-17 Indians fit from it in the future.’’

“We have a whole group of sopho- may not impress some observers.

Graebner and his twin brother, Kyle, missed the summer high school season after a golf cart accident over the Memorial Day weekend. Bruised ribs and a sore knee sidelined Keegan, while Kyle suffered a broken finger and a back injury that kept him off the court. Early morning sessions of physical therapy have kept the two juniors busy, but watching their teammates play isn’t easy.

“It only makes you want to play more,’’ Kyle Graebner said. “I see little stuff I can fix in my game.’’

Other players Tanaka expects to be big contributors include guard Antonio Milazzo, forward Adrian Paige and soph$ omore Adrian Gutierrez, a burly, 6-foot-5 transfer from Providence who played on the Celtics’ sophomore team as a fresh-

MORRIS – Ron Vandermeier started the 44-lap Joliet U Pull It & Scrap Mid-American feature at the Grundy County Speedway on Friday night from the 10th position.

Before the race was three-quarters of the way through, he had worked his way through the field and had himself in the lead. He was able to maintain the lead over the final 14 laps and cruise to the victory, outdistancing second-place finisher Josh Nelms, from whom he took over the lead on Lap 28.

Vandermeier finished .797 seconds ahead of Nelms and 1.131 seconds ahead of Matt Clemens in maintaining his season points lead. Rounding out the top 10 in the Mid-American main event were Aaron Shelton, Kevin Murphy, Scott Dunning, Jake Bradley, Ken Benson, John Ventrello and Cory Clougherty.

In the 30-lap Late Model feature, Ricky Baker rose from starting third to take over the lead from pole sitter Billy Knippenberg on Lap 16 and kept it the rest of the race, finishing ahead of Anthony Danta by .347 seconds for the checkered. Tony Scapelli Jr. finished third, followed by Knippenberg, Jeff Cannon, Eddie Hoffman, Larry Schul-

er, Scott Tomasik, Nathan Bertino and Paul Shafer Jr. In the 25-lap Street Stock feature, John Senerchia took the checkered flag, but the real battle was for second.

Seth Bloomhaert finished second, just .298 seconds ahead of third-place Christy Penrod and .552 ahead of fourthplace Mark Ross. Tim Stewart finished fifth, followed by Spencer Leake, Rick Dawson, Randy Weese, Craig Matteson and B.J. Grabow.

Michael Tobuch won the 15-lap 4-Cylinder feature race Friday night, beating out season point leader Dan Schmeissing. Danielle Dobczyk took third place, followed by Jacob Theissen, Scott Ingram, Matt Chester, Scott Gagen, Zack Orts, Zach Latimer and Thomas Kaminski.

Tech can’t teach better than doing it yourself I had a young child, maybe about 7 or 8, bring up the most surprising question last week.

This passionate little angler asked me about fishing a drop shot rig. I was shocked. As it turns out, this tiny bass guru watched videos on YouTube.

Things have sure changed. In the past, the only way we really learned about new outdoor techniques and skills was by word-of-mouth.

Someone we knew, often a parent or grandparent, would pass on what they understood about a particular skill.

The young child would learn about it and then apply that knowledge.

To learn new things our immediate family did not know, we had to hang out with other outdoors folks, or buy a magazine on the topic.

Publications such as Bassmaster, Fin and Feather, Outdoor Life, and In-Fisherman were the go-to resources of their day.

And, in many regards, they still are.

But the advent of the internet

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers has churned out sites that offer up more outdoors information than you could possibly read in 10 lifetimes.

Young people are more educated and knowledgeable about the sports they love than ever before.

A new technique or lure that is making news in Japan soon finds its way here. Information like that used to take years to reach the masses.

Now it spreads in days.

The appearance of all this different educational outdoor media has made it much more difficult to decipher what is legitimate and what is garbage.

If you log onto YouTube, for example, and type in catfishing, thousands of videos show up.

The majority of them are some random person catching a fish and uploading it to the internet for the whole world to see.

There are those that offer valuable information to eager outdoors enthusiasts, but it’s not always easy to find them.

You know you have a good site or video when it takes the time to explain exactly what they are doing and how they are doing it.

There will even be nice closeups explaining in detail what the viewer is seeing on the screen. The next step is to take what you have watched and practice it.

This is where most of us can really improve our own skills. I remember the first time I paper tuned my bow.

I had heard about how to do this and even read some nice articles on it.

But the ability to watch a video and then practice it was better than I could have imagined.

Who has the time to film and edit a video on paper tuning a bow?

Apparently quite a few people. I Googled it and hundreds of clips showed up. Amazing.

In this information age, where we can access the most minute detail

in minutes, there is still something to be said for the traditional oral passing on from one outdoorsman to the next.

The ability to see, hands-on, how to tie a knot, where to cast, and how to set the hook, are all things that are best remembered when we actually do it.

I read many articles on jig fishing for bass when I was a kid.

I thought I understood it, but it still took an entire summer of fishing only a jig to really learn what I was doing.

I love that children have the opportunity to be more educated about the outdoors.

I love that they can scour the internet and read or watch what is passionate to them.

Yet we cannot take the hands out of hands-on.

If you have the chance, take someone into the outdoors that is eager to learn.

You will be glad you did.

Vitamins, minerals accompany naturally occurring sugars found in fruit, dairy FAMILY FEATURES Sugars are one of the most important health conversations today. A diet filled with too many added sugars is associated with weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. According to the 2005-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the average American consumes an average of 20 teaspoons a day, significantly more than the six to nine teaspoons recommended daily by the American Heart Association.

Sugar can mean different things to different people, which not only adds to the confusion, but can quickly derail even your best intentions as you try to make the right choices for your family.

Many nourishing foods such as fruits, vegetables, certain whole grains and dairy products contain what are known as naturally occurring sugars; these are simple carbohydrates that are naturally present in a food’s biological structure. For example, the lactose found in milk is a sugar, as is the fructose in fruit.

In contrast, added sugars are those sugars or sweeteners you add in your kitchen – adding sugar or honey to a

Spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

In large bowl, combine oatmeal, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and recipe or onto your breakfast cereal, for example – as well as sugars and sweeteners that are added to a variety of products by food manufacturers.

Added sugars are often used to enhance taste and flavor, of course, but can also be included for other reasons, such as to prevent spoiling – think summer jams – or assist in fermenta-

In small bowl, combine oil, honey and vanilla; stir well to combine. Drizzle oil mixture over oatmeal mixture; stir well to coat oatmeal mixture.

Spread oatmeal mixture on prepared baking sheet in even layer. Bake 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, to evenly brown granola.

Remove from oven, add cranberries and cool completely. Store in airtight container up to one week.

Serving suggestion: For a morning parfait, serve homemade orange granola with milk or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. Add in sliced fruit for extra color. tion, such as in baking.

“Working with the Florida Department of Citrus, I’ve seen firsthand how much confusion there is around this topic for many families,” said registered dietitian Kate Geagan, author of “Go Green Get Lean.” “Yet while too many added sugars can fill your diet with ‘empty calories,’ naturally

occurring sugars are found in some of nature’s most nutrient-rich packages, delivering a bevy of benefits such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and more.”

An 8-ounce glass of 100 percent orange juice, for instance, has no added sugar. Beyond being an excellent source of vitamin C, it’s a good source of folate, especially important for women of childbearing age, as well as potassium, a vital mineral which helps nerves and muscles communicate and can help offset the effects of too much sodium in the diet. In fact, the FDA recently announced it will add potassium to the Nutrition Facts Panel because many Americans are falling short.

2:07 a.m. on _ WLS Greatest Hits Though this series started out by highlighting songs from the early 1980s, it takes a mighty leap forward by skipping to the years 1995 to 2000 in this second telecast. Hosts Arsenio Hall and Kelsea Ballerini introduce the tunes, performed in most cases by the original artists — who include Backstreet Boys, Jewel, LL Cool J, Coolio and Hanson. John Legend, Meghan Trainor, CeeLo Green and Wiz Khalifa also appear during the hour.

THURSDAY 7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory No one is happy when their laptop computer goes on the fritz, so imagine Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) reaction when it happens to him in “The Solder Excursion Diversion.” Amy (Mayim Bialik) feels so bad for him, she buys him a new one — which prompts him to make a confession involving the old one. Raj (Kunal Nayyar) throws Leonard and Wolowitz (Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg) under the bus over a fib they told their wives (Kaley Cuoco, Melissa Rauch).

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Directed by former “Rookie Blue” co-star Gregory Smith, “Marooned” puts much of the team in a battle for survival in space.

Responding to a ship’s distress call, with the potential to use the vessel’s computer to locate Savage (guest star Casper Crump), they’re taken prisoner by time pirates. Only Professor Stein (Victor Garber) is left to save his comrades. Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz and Arthur Darvill also star.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones It’s a new beginning for Brennan and Booth (Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz) at the Smithsonian, and it doesn’t take long for a case to present itself in “The Donor in the Drink.” The investigation of human remains at a fish farm leads to an organ-harvesting probe, putting Angela (Michaela Conlin) on the trail of someone involved in the actual brokering. Cam (Tamara Taylor) ponders the personal choice she’s made. TJ Thyne also stars.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM Life in Pieces Greg (Colin Hanks) overindulges when he joins the gym Colleen (Angelique Cabral) belongs to in “Party Lobster Gym Sale.” Heather and Joan (Betsy Brandt, Zoe Lister-Jones) try to keep their garage sale quiet, since Joan (Dianne Wiest) also is staging one.

While Heather and Tim (Dan Bakkedahl) are gone, Tyler and Samantha (Niall Cunningham, Holly J. Barrett) have a party. James Brolin and Thomas Sadoski also star.

8 p.m. on ) WGN Beauty and the Beast Vincent and Cat (Jay Ryan, Kristin Kreuk), working against each other? That can’t be good for their still-young marriage, but it happens in the new episode “Beast of Times, Worst of Times.” Yet another enemy targets Vincent, who’s forced to skirt the boundaries of the law — which automatically puts him at odds with Cat. Tess (Nina Lisandrello) isn’t happy about the situation, either. Austin Basis, Michael Roark and Nicole Gale Anderson also star.

Mike Holmes (left) and Tim Tebow host “Home Free” Thursday on Fox. 8 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free Anyone who watches a show about home construction or improvement knows that meeting building-code requirements is essential — and that’s what poses a problem for a contestant in the new episode “Boulevard of Skill vs. Will.” Unless the situation is corrected promptly, someone’s goal of creating and winning a dream house may evaporate quickly. Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow are the hosts.

8:59 p.m. on ^ WBBM Code Black Angus (Harry Ford) has mixed feelings when his brother (guest star Tommy Dewey), a celebrated doctor, seeks a job at Angels Memorial in “First Date.” Christa (Bonnie Somerville) becomes increasingly drawn to Neal (Raza Jaffrey). A patient (guest star Jesse Bradford) takes too much of an interest in Malaya (Melanie Chandra) for her comfort.

Jillian Murray also continues her guest role.

Marcia Gay Harden and Luis Guzman also star.

9 p.m. on % WMAQ Aquarius The addiction troubles of Shafe (Grey Damon) become increasingly troublesome, to the point where they may derail his professional mission, in the new episode “Revolution 9.” A blackmail victim appeals to his friend Hodiak (David Duchovny) for help.

Bobby Kennedy (Scott Bailey) may fall prey to Karn’s (Brian F. O Byrne) machinations.

Grace (Michaela McManus) develops a passion for politics. Gethin Anthony, Emma Dumont and Claire Holt also star.

1:07 a.m. on _ WLS BattleBots Football star Vernon Davis is the guest judge in the new episode “We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Bracket: The Round of 32 Part 1,” reflecting the number of teams that will advance to the next stage of the competition.

The means of getting there is to survive three-minute rounds intended to put the losers completely out of the arena. Fon Davis and Jessica Chobot also are on the judging panel. Samantha Ponder of ESPN is the host, with Chris Rose offering play-by-play.

explosives that date back to World War II, and are prone to detonate at any time.

8 p.m. on ) WGN Penn & Teller: Fool Us The title “An Egg-Cellent Trick” suggests it wouldn’t be inappropriate to have some bacon around to make a complete dish. Derek Hughes, Reuben Moreland, Suzanne and Jared Kopf are the final illusionists — for this round, anyway, since the series will be back — who get the chance to stump Penn & Teller on how they do their tricks. Those who manage that will land a spot in the duo’s Las Vegas show. Jonathan Ross is the host.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Blue Bloods The murder of a mobster could set off a war in the streets of New York unless the police move fast in “Cursed.” Danny and Baez (Donnie Wahlberg, Marisa Ramirez) quiz an underworld deputy, hoping to get information in time to stave off related violence.

Michael Badalucco (“The Practice”) also guest stars.

9 p.m. on _ WLS 20/20 In a new “Special Edition” of the newsmagazine, Diane Sawyer talks again with Jaycee Dugard, who was kidnapped and held prisoner by a couple for 18 years — during which time Dugard gave birth to two daughters. The occasion for this conversation is the imminent publication of her memoir “Freedom: My Book of Firsts,” dealing with her assimilation back into society and experiences she had in the outside world for the first time in almost two decades.

9 p.m. on + WTTW The Great British Baking Show Biscuits are the basis of this new episode of what is airing as the series’ third season in America. It’s not hard to deduce that one of the challenges involves biscotti, and that’s actually how the hour begins for the 11 bakers still in the competition. Puff pastry arlettes form the technical contest, and the Showstopper round truly is that here — since it revolves around creating a box with 36 (count ’em, 36) different varieties of biscuits.

FRIDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS: Los Angeles Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen), a murderer?

Not likely, but that doesn’t prevent him from becoming the prime suspect in the death of his former partner in “Internal Affairs.” His colleagues believe in his innocence — Kensi (Daniela Ruah) more than anyone — and they set out to clear him. Pamela Reed (“The Right Stuff”) reprises her guest role as Deeks’ mother. Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J, Linda Hunt and Renee Felice Smith also star.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank This episode showcases more products and services made in America, including a method of starting a fire, devised by two men from Utah. A West Virginia couple wants to take a product from their restaurant national. Fitness devotees from Fargo, N.D., come up with exercise equipment that conserves space — but also costs a bundle. Mark Cuban. Lori Greiner, Kevin O’Leary, Robert Herjavec and Daymond John are the Sharks on duty here.

7 p.m. on ) WGN Masters of Illusion A good idea of what this new episode supplies is provided by the title “Extreme Levitations, Mind Melds, and Water into Wine.”

One might hope, however, that all three elements don’t occur simultaneously. Jonathan Pendragon, Eric Buss, Naathan Phan, Barry & Stuart, Chris Randall and David & Dania are the showcased illusionists. Dean Cain is the host. Another episode follows.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Rosewood Rosewood (Morris Chestnut) is determined to celebrate his nine-and-a-half-month partnership with Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz), but it lands them in a case involving their confidential informant Julius “Joo-Joo” Beeman (guest star Kamal Angelo Bolden) in “Hydrocephalus & Hard Knocks.” There’s a twist: This time, JooJoo is the prime suspect. As Rosie and Villa dig for the truth, they discover a new side to the man. Joy Bryant and Tia Mowry-Hardrict guest star.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 Carol Burnett reprises her recurring guest role as McGarrett’s (Alex O’Loughlin) Aunt Deb in “Ua ola loko i ke aloha” (Hawaiian for “Love Gives Life Within”).

7 p.m. on _ WLS Celebrity Family Feud Snoop Dogg is in for a big night of “Fun & Games”: Not only do he and members of his family compete against Sugar Ray Leonard and some of the boxing legend’s relatives here, the rapper also is up against Martha Stewart on “The $100,000 Pyramid” immediately afterward.

Phil (Will Forte) and the other survivors have to answer that for themselves in “Secret Santa” ... which also refers to the traditional gift-giving exercise that Carol (Kristen Schaal) tries to initiate among the others. It shouldn’t take much for each person to figure out who gave them their present.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Elementary Morland (John Noble) is willing to help Sherlock and Watson (Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu) with a case in “The Cost of Doing Business.”

The offer is tempting, since it will give the duo access to vast resources, but Sherlock remains hesitant about letting his father have an entry point to his professional life. John Shea (“Agent X”) and Reed Diamond (“Homicide: Life on the Street”) guest star. Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill also star.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Angel From Hell After the broken romance that launched this series, Allison (Maggie Lawson) has a tough time getting back into the social scene in the new episode “Practice Guy.” That title is exactly what Amy (Jane Lynch) recommends to her, but the situation has a surprising outcome. Guest stars include Jonathan Togo (“CSI: Miami”), Henry Zebrowski (“Heroes Reborn”) and Constance Marie (“Switched at Birth”). Kevin Pollak also stars. Another episode follows.

10:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Grinder It’s judgment day for Dean Sr. (William Devane) in “Full Circle,” the show’s finale, and it’s up to Dean Jr. (Rob Lowe) to clear his dad of malpractice charges when Stewart (Fred Savage) is taken out of the case.

Holt (Andre Braugher) has an unexpected encounter.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Madam Secretary Playing detective as well as Secretary of State, Elizabeth (Tea Leoni) tries to find out who executed a uranium theft in Eastern Europe in “Left of the Boom.” That’s not the only international crisis on her plate, since she also deals with the capture of two U.S. teens — who allegedly had terrorist activities on their minds — in Saudi Arabia.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The $100,000 Pyramid Martha Stewart competing against Snoop Dogg isn’t the likeliest showdown, but their rivalry in this new episode of the game-show revival ultimately will indicate whether the culinary expert or the rapper has more skill at guessing categories. Host Michael Strahan presides over that contest, as well as the one in the hour’s second half that pits “Dr. Ken” co-stars Ken Jeong and Tisha Campbell Martin against each other to reach the winner’s circle.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

“Coda” is the appropriate title of the new episode that concludes “Endeavour Season 3.” Morse (Shaun Evans) takes the exam to qualify for sergeant, coinciding with a murder investigation that could involve mobsters — one of whom has a personal tie to Thursday (Roger Allam).

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy Mila Kunis long has been one of the voices on this animated comedy, and her “better half” — Ashton Kutcher — gets into the act by voicing his animated likeness in “Candy, Quahog Marshmallow.” He figures into the tale of an Asian television serial that Peter, Cleveland and Joe (voices of Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry and Patrick Warburton)
