Taking a day off can be just the ticket It’s amazing what just one day off can do. Last week, my birthday came again – it seems like it comes sooner every year – and I am fortunate enough to work for a company that allows us to have the day off for our birthday.

Aside from regularly scheduled days off, like weekends (except for the one weekend a month when I am on call), it had been a while since I had taken a day off.

It felt good and weird at the same time.

Even though we are encouraged to take our days off, I still almost felt like I was getting away with something. Once that feeling went away, though, I just enjoyed not having to be plugged in. I avoided the constant urges to check my email or any breaking news sites on the web. I have cut the cable cord at home, so avoiding turning on the news wasn’t that difficult.

To top it all off, my birthday fell on Friday, so it was a three-day weekend for me.

And this one was a true three-day weekend. Even though the week before should

VIEWS Rob Oesterle have been, I was scheduled to work on the Fourth of July as my holiday to work, so I didn’t get to enjoy the full holiday weekend as most did. That was fine with me.

Living in an apartment complex, I can’t go out and lounge in the backyard or fire up the grill, so I didn’t feel I missed much.

What I did enjoy on my day off was just the chance to relax and recharge. Sometimes it gets to where I can feel tension in my body well after I return home from the office. You never know when the phone might ring or a text will come through with a breaking story. At least with today’s technology, most of the time that means I don’t have to run all the way to the office, but it does mean that the computer must

get opened back up at home.

But I had made up my mind that, on my birthday, the computer wasn’t getting opened up. Honestly, it was the first time in a long time that my mind wasn’t moving at 100 miles an hour from subject to subject.

I know many people in a many jobs like to take pride in the fact that they don’t miss a day of work. I take pride in that, too.

I don’t think I have ever had a boss that told me I take too much time off. Usually, it’s the opposite. As the year comes to an end, I start getting reminded that I have X amount of vacation days left and I have to either use them or lose them. After taking a day off last week, however, I won’t be hesitating to use my vacation days anymore.

I love my job. I work hard and I work a lot.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t take some time off. I urge everyone to do the same.

Morris man puts love of flight to good use as an aerial application pilot

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – When a person is standing in rural Grundy County, they expect to see yellow and black flying objects now and then, namely bees.

But annually in July, the yellow and black flying object swooping over fields is much bigger and louder, and flies much faster. Sid Nelson, an aerial application pilot who owns Crop Solutions in Morris, can be found spraying crops for companies such as Grainco FS. “I’ve been flying since 1978. I’ve been flying for agriculture application since 1986. I’ve flown about 14,000 hours,” Nelson said from the Morris Municipal Airport, where he was once the manager. “I did air shows for 18 years before becoming an aerial application pilot.”

Outside the north side hangars, his bright yellow and black Thrush aircraft with turbine motor is humming loudly behind him, equipped with 26 sprayer nozzles and loaded with water and fungicide. It’s ready to get to work. An acre of corn gets two gallons of water with 10 ounces of product added to it.

“We’re spraying fungicide right now, but we also spray insecticide and herbicide when needed,” Nelson said.

“I don’t think we’ll have to spray for insects this year. You can tell if there is a bug problem from your windshield when you get done spraying, and they haven’t been bad this year.”

Jeff Brockman, a certified crop specialist with Grainco FS in Mazon, who is working with Nelson’s company to get between 15,000 and 20,000 acres sprayed in Grundy County this year, said aerial application is an important method for getting product into the field.

WEEK TO DEAL!

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Sid Nelson of Morris (right) goes over a delivery with Joshua McConnell from Grainco FS in Mazon on Monday morning before taking flight to do an aerial application of fungicide.

“I can’t tell you how much crop you knock down going in the field with a ground machine, but I know how much you knock down with an airplane,” he said, implying there is no loss to mature corn plants when application takes place from the sky.

Mazon farmer Kevin Halterman said aerial application makes sense for some farmers, especially those whose corn is too tall to get machinery over.

“They have GPS on the plane as well, so you know exactly where the fields were sprayed,” Halterman said.

“With a high boy, it can be hit or miss and you won’t get 100 percent coverage.”

The fungicide that is being sprayed locally during July will help farmers fight leaf diseases currently in their fields, as well as work as a preventive measure against late-season diseases, Brockman said.

Brockman said that while the farmer has to spend more for aerial application per acre, the benefit is a higher yield on those fields.

Nelson said the GPS is similar to what is used in today’s tractors and it monitors exactly which parts of the field are being sprayed.

When he returns from a flight, he can print off a map of the field that

Christmas in July fundraiser set for July 23 If you go

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – As summer vacation reaches its halfway point for students in Morris, Operation St. Nick is gearing up for its back-to-school program in which more than 300 children will receive school clothes and supplies.

The annual Christmas in July fundraiser – held at Clayton’s Tap by owners Scott and Lois Darlington – is expected to raise most of the funds needed for the program, which last year spent almost $45,000 on the back-to-school needs for recipients.

“The back-to-school program will provide $100 in clothes and shoes and $50 in school supplies to area students in need,” Operation St. Nick founder Joe Schmitz said. “I can’t say enough about what Jan Close and Lois and Scott Darlington do for us by hosting this event.”

Lois Darlington said the event is one that sells itself, thanks to the dedication of Operation St. Nick when it comes to giving back to the community.

“Working on an event like this makes me feel good,” Darlington said. “It’s so easy when everyone sees the return on their investment and knows all the good that Joe and Operation St. Nick does in the community.”

This year’s event will kick off at 3

An autographed Blackhawks jersey is auctioned off at the 2015 Operation St. Nick Christmas in July. This year’s event is scheduled for July 23. p.m. July 23, when raffle and silent auction items will open for bid.

At 6:30 p.m., the live auction will start. Schmitz said hosting the event throughout the day allows people who otherwise would be unable to attend just an evening event to stop in and bid or buy a raffle ticket.

Darlington said the donated items this year will provide something for everyone, no matter their budget or interests.

Some of the large-ticket items available at the live auction will include: • Five nights in California, with a portion of that stay at the Oceano Hotel and

Spa in Half Moon Bay Harbor, arranged

by Ken Seidler, along with a $500 travel voucher from Red Carpet Travel.

The Holloway family, of Romeoville, poses Friday with first responders who helped save the life of 3-year-old Jaslyn Holloway (pictured in her mother’s arms) from a near drowning in Braidwood on July 2.

First responders save 3-year-old Romeoville girl from drowning

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – The Holloway family was having fun July 2 at a relative’s house in Braidwood when suddenly the life of 3-year-old Jaslyn Holloway flashed before their eyes.

Randy Holloway had just arrived and greeted his three daughters; the Romeoville residents were enjoying some pool time at their aunt’s home. A couple of minutes later, Jaslyn fell into the pool.

Her older sister, Shannon, jumped in and grabbed her, and quickly passed her to Randy. The children’s mother, Jennifer Schmidt, administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until Braidwood police officers Chris Altiery and Phil Tyree arrived moments later after responding to WESCOM dispatcher Marie Johnson’s report of a “3-year-old who was unconscious and not breathing.”

Jaslyn was barely breathing as Braidwood Fire Department Lt. Chris Jude and a team of three medics hopped out of the ambulance that pulled into the driveway, and Capt. Mike Shorkey arrived from his home, starting his shift early.

The first responders realized Jaslyn had a pulse, and followed protocols that mandated they get an airway established and an IV implemented. Shorkey tried to get a helicopter to the scene, but when that was unsuccessful, Jude and his crew maintained an airway and suctioned as much water as they could from Jaslyn’s lungs on the 20-minute ride to Presence

St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet.

“Right before we got to the hospital, she coughed up about two coffee mugs worth of water,” Jude said.

At the hospital, EMS nurse Kathy Leclear, along with several members of PSJMC’s ED team, worked to further establish an airway for Jaslyn to breathe.

She was then taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn via ambulance where she was placed on a ventilator. It was removed July 4, and Jaslyn went home July 6.

On Friday, the Holloway family and all first responders involved except Johnson – along with Levitt and Leclear – gathered at the Braidwood Fire Station for a celebration of the life-saving day.

In the past week, Randy said he has gotten six to eight hours of sleep, as he and his wife were by their daughter’s side around the clock.

“Everything has been so hazy,” Randy said. “It’s an eye-opener at the very least.”

Shorkey said continued training can be a drag for a first responder – but in situations like this, the extra work saves lives.

“We also invested in pediatric equipment as a department, and this is where it pays off,” Shorkey said.

Livett, with tears in her eyes, praised the teamwork of all who came together to save a young girl who has the rest of her life ahead of her. Schmidt thanked them as she held a shy, sleepy Jaslyn in her arms.

“You guys are amazing,” she said.

“Thank you so much.”

MINOOKA – The Wendy’s in Minooka is among those where hackers stole credit and debit card information from customers.

Hackers struck more than 1,025 of its U.S. restaurants, according to the Associated Press. The hamburger chain said Thursday that hackers obtained card numbers, names, expiration dates and codes on the card, beginning in fall.

When searching Illinois in the Wendy’s “impacted restaurant search” online tool, local cities that appear on the list of potentially affected locations are: • Joliet, 110 S. Larkin, from Oct. 27, 2015, through Feb. 14, 2016 • Minooka, 105 N. Ridge Road, from Nov. 1, 2015, through Feb. 14, 2016 • Mokena, 19175 LaGrange Road, from Oct. 29, 2015, through Feb. 14, 2016 • New Lenox, 2430 E. Lincoln Highway, from Oct. 31, 2015, through Feb. 26, 2016 “The restaurants listed on this site are the potentially affected locations,” the company states on its website. “If you do not see a specific state/city/address that you are looking for then it is has not been identified as affected by our forensic investigation.”

Customers can see which locations were affected through the Wendy’s website by visiting https:// payment.wendys.com/paymentcardcheck.html.

The company said it is offering free one-year credit monitoring to people who paid with a card at any of those restaurants.

MORRIS – An Aurora man died Saturday evening after a three-motorcycle crash near Morris that also left two others critically injured.

The victim was identified Sunday as Alfredo Gonzalez Hernandez, Grundy County Chief Deputy Coroner Christina Hintze-Symoniak said. A news release issued Sunday by the Grundy County Coroner’s Office stated that Hernandez was 31 years old.

The incident occurred about 6:45 p.m. in the 5000 block of Old Stage Road, Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District Chief Tracey Steffes said.

The motorcycles were traveling west when one driver lost control, causing the two other motorcyclists to lose control as well, according to the news release.

Hernandez was pronounced dead at 7:56 p.m. at the scene, according to the news release.

One of the injured drivers was flown to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Steffes said, while the other was taken to Morris Hospital.

Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said Tuesday that the two other motorcyclists, also from Aurora, were expected to live.

“There were four motorcyclists traveling together. Three were involved in the accident, the fourth was farther behind because he is a novice,” Callahan said. “He is the only eyewitness we have to the accident.”

Grundy County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Ken White said that the three drivers were the only people involved in the crash, which White said occurred as the motorcyclists crossed a bridge in the area.

The Grundy County coroner’s and sheriff’s offices are investigating the incident.

The scene of the fatality is near the site of another recent deadly crash.

On June 21, Mark and Janice Wendling, of Morris, were bicycling nearby when they were struck from behind by an SUV driven by a 16-year-old. The SUV belonged to Morris Elementary School District 54 Principal Chris Maier, according to the crash report. The teen has been cited with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, but the case remains under investigation.

David Welter resigns from board

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter submitted his resignation at Tuesday evening’s regular meeting of the board.

The resignation, which was effective midnight Tuesday, is because of his appointment to the 75th District state representative position, vacated in June by John Anthony.

Welter is scheduled to be sworn in as state representative at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Grundy County Courthouse.

Welter thanked his fellow board members and his wife for their support.

Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor said that board rules state that Vice Chairman Chris Balkema will serve as chairman until the regular August meeting, when board members will vote in a new chairman and vice chairman, if needed. Grundy County Republican Party Chairman Aren Hansen said the party will convene to make a nomination for fill the seat opening because of Welter’s resignation.

Pryor said that he expects both the seat to be filled and leadership to be chosen at the August board meeting.

In other business, the board also voted on two resolutions that set the salary for two county positions – coroner and

circuit clerk. Both positions are up for election in November.

John Callahan, the current Grundy County coroner and the only person set to appear on the November ballot for the post for the next four-year term, spoke during public comment about the salary for the position.

Callahan said he has been to several committee meetings where the salary was discussed.

Options that have been discussed include freezing the salary either for one year or for all four years the victor will hold the position. He said he was asking for a 2 percent increase for each of the four years the elected person would hold the position.

“Personally, I feel freezing the salary for the position is disrespectful,” Callahan said at the beginning of the meeting.

The board voted, 14-1, to freeze the salary of coroner at $78,613.02, with Millie Dyer voting against the motion.

Board member Dick Joyce said both the circuit clerk and coroner make more than other elected positions, including the county clerk.

“We froze the salaries two years ago when we were still getting money from Channahon. It makes sense to freeze it now without that money,” Joyce said.

The board also voted, 15-0, to freeze the salary of circuit clerk.

MORRIS – Republican David Welter is expected to be sworn in Friday at the Grundy County Courthouse as the new representative for the 75th Illinois House District.

Welter, of Morris, was unanimously chosen Saturday by the 75th Legislative District Appointment Committee to fill the term of former state Rep. John Anthony. The committee – composed of Grundy County Republican Chairman Aren Hansen, Will County Republican Chairwoman Kathy Havel, Kendall County Republican Chairman James Marter and LaSalle County Republican Chairman Don Jensen – interviewed eight applicants in a seven-hour meeting Saturday in Morris.

“This was a challenging decision for the committee because of the depth of talent of all the applicants,” Hansen said in news release announcing the selection.

“While we are all going to miss John Anthony, we have no doubt that David Welter will continue his efforts in Springfield and represent the constituents of the 75th District with integrity and zeal.”

Welter said he was honored to be chosen to represent the district.

“I want to thank the chairmen for a thorough and open process,” Welter said.

“The real work starts now. I look forward

day night, with it effective at midnight.

Welter will fill the 75th District House seat until the current term ends in January. Anthony, R-Joliet, resigned June 17 and was named executive assistant to the director of the Illinois Department of Corrections on June 20, according to the department website.

Welter also will appear on the November general election ballot as the Republican candidate for the position in a race Anthony originally was slotted to run against Democrat Martha Shugart.

“I would like to welcome David Welter of Morris as the newest member of the Illinois House Republican Caucus and state representative of the 75th District,” House Republican Leader Jim Durkin said in a statement from his office.

“David is joining the Illinois General Assembly during very difficult times. He understands that the future of our state is at stake. I am confident that he is prepared to serve his constituents and to do the heavy lifting required to get Illinois back on track. I look forward to working with him,” Durkin said in the statement.

Anthony was appointed to be the 75th District representative in August 2013 when previous state Rep. Pam Roth, R-Morris, stepped down when she moved to Texas. In November 2014, Anthony won the seat when he faced off against Shugart.

MORRIS – The Grundy Economic Development Council is celebrating the passing of House Bill 694, which was signed into law June 30 by Gov. Bruce Rauner to extend a portion of the GEDC’s Project Area 1 until 2021.

Nancy Ammer, the council’s CEO, said area legislators pulled together and worked to get support for the law.

“We have two [Economic Development Project Areas] in Grundy County that were established to help to mitigate the [machine and equipment] tax,” Ammer said. “The extension will cover 120 acres of the 12,000-acre EDPA 1 area where Competitive Power Ventures is building its Three Rivers Energy Center.”

Grundy County’s M&E tax is a unique taxing structure under which heavy industrial machinery and equipment are taxed as real property. The state’s other 101 counties classify machinery and equipment as personal property, which is not taxed in Illinois.

The EDPA is similar to a tax increment financing district and is designed to lessen the impact of the M&E tax.

When the first EDPA was formed in 2006, the assessed valuation was frozen within the district. As the assessed val-

watt power generation project in an unincorporated portion of Grundy County. The 80-acre project site is just south of Exelon’s Dresden Generating Station in Goose Lake Township.

According to a GEDC news release, the energy facility located 50 miles southwest of Chicago represents a $1 billion private investment in Illinois infrastructure that will bring more than 500 union jobs during the 30-month construction phase, 25 well-paying jobs to operate the facility, and 75 indirect jobs to support facility operation. The project is expected to grow the state economy by hundreds of millions of dollars, with a vast majority of that growth focused in and around Grundy County.

“This legislation will facilitate continued economic growth for the region and proves once again, our region is looked to for its leadership and expertise in energy,” state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, said in a news release. “Reliable power is critical to a healthy economy, and this project ensures we will have ample reliable power to move our economy forward. In addition, this project is great news for our labor workforce as it will provide hundreds of highly skilled construction jobs.

These labor jobs are the backbone of this major project.”

Stopgap budget again leaves out MAP grants

By KATE SCHOTT

kschott@shawmedia.com

and RHONDA GILLESPIE

rgillespie@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Some students and colleges still will be on the hook to find alternatives to pay college tuition, as Illinois’ stopgap budget takes care of outstanding balances from last school year but doesn’t address the upcoming one.

State lawmakers reached an agreement June 30 on an interim budget to last until January, and Gov. Bruce Rauner signed it the same day. The spending plan was meant to get state bills paid through the end of the year. But when it comes to the Monetary Award Program – or MAP grants – the bills to be paid are from the fiscal year of July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016.

MAP grants are designed to help college students from low-income households afford tuition and fees.

“The $151 million appropriated for MAP in the latest bridge funding bill was specifically meant to cover the remainder of FY16 MAP claims,” said Lynne Baker, spokeswoman for the Illinois Assistance Commission, which administers MAP

grant funds. Joliet Junior College spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said the college, which serves Will and Grundy counties, will not provide funding for MAP grants during the 2016-17 academic year.

“It’s just not something that sustainable for us in terms of our budget,” she said last week.

JJC did front the MAP grants for the 2015-16 academic year, providing more than 1,000 students with collectively more than $1 million. JJC used surplus money from unspent funds in the budget, such as from open positions, to provide that $1 million, Rohder said. JJC recently sent letters to students letting them know about other scholarship opportunities, such as from the JJC Foundation or external scholarships at the national level.

“We want to make sure – ultimately at the end of the day, our job is to make sure they are successful,” she said. “We want to work to remove barriers [for students]. We did communicate to students that their success is of the utmost priority for us.”

Money to pay bills for fiscal 2017, which began July 1, likely won’t be authorized until after the November election.

Morris Moose lodge hosts fundraiser to help replace roof

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris Moose Lodge 967 is trying to raise the roof – money to replace the roof, that is – by hosting a flea market and raffle.

Moose Governor Jerry Popplewell said the lodge has been trying to get the roof replaced for three years through a grant, but has now decided to see how much money they can raise themselves to help the project along.

“For three years, we’ve applied for a Mooseheart grant. They award $3 million each year to help fix up lodges,” he said. “We’ve been turned down the first two years we entered and we are trying again this year.”

He said he has found out that if the lodge can match some of the money needed for the project, the grant could come in to pay the remainder of the bill.

The estimated cost to fix the roof over the office areas, hallways and social quarters is between $30,000 and $40,000.

The lodge hopes to raise at least $5,000 on its own.

“We’ve spent more than $2,000 this year in air-conditioner upgrades, and we hope to show Mooseheart we are do-

ing what we can,” Popplewell said.

The group is still seeking vendors for available spots, which include a couple inside the hall, two in the pavilion and several outside. The cost to have a booth at the fair is $10 for an outside 12-foot-by 12-foot spot. In the pavilion the cost is $15 and inside the banquet hall where there is air conditioning is $20.

There is no cost to attend. Food will be provided by the Moose. Popplewell said all proceeds from the vendor rental and the food will go toward the new roof.

MAINTAINING PRIDE Seniors often view their decline in health or physical ability as a diminishment of their self-worth.

Their independence in caring for themselves is a source of pride. When injuries or chronic illness make daily chores difficult or impossible to perform, it is time for pride to take a back seat. Plans need to be made for the future. Open discussions with loved ones about the kinds of assistance that are needed for daily living should begin. Determine what chores family members and friends will be able to do. If there are gaps in needs, talk to At Home Quality Care to get assistance in contacting qualified caregivers to perform caregiving tasks in the home. Being able to age in place can improve seniors’ self-esteem.

Anne Williams Community Liaison

SM-CL0373580

One of the big advantages of aging in place is the fact that your loved one gets to enjoy personalized care while staying in his or her own space. In-home care means that your loved one isn’t just another client in a large, faceless institution. Our compassionate caregivers provide the personalized care that your loved deserves. If you have any questions at all, please call At Home Quality Care at 815-942-1256. Our office address is 519 N. Franklin St., Ste. 203, Morris. We are staffed with nurses, physical and speech therapists, occupational therapists, and home health aides to assist with the activities of daily living in the comfort of your own home.

Threat of gum disease goes way beyond teeth SPONSORED BY

A high percentage of Americans have gum disease, or “periodontitis,” that can cause tooth loss.

But it’s much more serious. Periodontitis can also complicate existing health problems like heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, stroke and respiratory ailments like pneumonia.

Periodontitis is most likely in adults, since it takes time for plaque to form and harden to bacteria-causing tartar under the gums. It occurs most frequently in adults over 40 and, in seniors age 65 and older, affects a whopping 70 percent, according to the American Academy of Periodontology.

Research continues to determine the exact connections between periodontitis and other diseases, but its occurrence and aggravation of other diseases is very close, the AAP says. It may be the way periodontitis spreads, through the blood stream and aspiration into the lungs.

Early detection and treatment is a must, says Dr. Eric Salud, lead dentist at Complete Comfort Dental in Channahon.

“In the past, it wasn’t diagnosed much. It doesn’t cause pain, except in the most severe cases,” he said.

Salud said he always checks for both gingivitis (gum inflammation) and periodontitis (gum disease) because both begin with plaque.

Regular home care (brushing and flossing) and twice-yearly teeth cleanings can prevent the onset of both but, sadly, that is not the norm, he said.

If periodontitis is found, Salud recommends a set of two one-hour appointments for scaling and root planing under the gums, using the same tool as in teeth cleaning, along with a local anesthetic.

In addition, he uses laser cleaning to sterilize the gums as much as possible.

Thereafter, the patient visits the dentist every three months for continued treatment until it is brought under control.

Unfortunately, Salud said, periodontitis is not curable at this point in time, so its progress has to be controlled.

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Morris Elementary School District 54 met July 5 for its monthly Committee of the Whole meeting, but at the new board of education meeting location in the library at Shabbona Middle School. The 25-minute meeting was brief, but included updates on staff insurance plans, and the transformation at White Oak Elementary because of Shabbona

Middle School students coming into the building this upcoming school year.

Superintendent Shannon Dudek, who started in the job July 1, began the meeting with a request of approval of a contact with Aetna to provide a fully insured health insurance plan for district staff.

“Some employees may have to adjust some things, but in the grand scheme of things, this was a better plan,” Dudek said. “The district will save $400,000 in 17 months with this plan.”

Dudek said that employees already under contract will receive an insurance benefit match or improvement on their plan, and nothing will decrease.

Dudek updated the board on the progress of classroom renovations, cleaning, painting and upgrades at White Oak Elementary to prepare for the junior high students to join the elementary students in August. He said the work is on track, but the large number of painting projects will have to be done over the next couple

of years. Large projects on the discussion panel included the White Oak Elementary roof repair and the new parking lot.

The parking lot needs to be completed before students return Aug. 17. Dudek said he was confident he would have bids to offer to the board at the next meeting that would include two options for location, and two options of materials, concrete versus asphalt, within each option.

The regular board of education meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday.

Illinois Sheriff’s’ Association warns of telemarketing fraud SUBMITTED REPORT

The Sheriffs of Illinois, through the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association, are adamantly opposed to police groups and associations using telemarketers in their fundraising efforts. The Illinois Sheriffs’ Association never solicits by phone. If you receive a call from someone saying they represent your local sheriff or the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association and are asking for donations, contact the Sheriffs Office immediately or gather as much information as you can from the caller and report it to the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association at ISA@ilsheriff.org

Telemarketing tips

Offers too good to be true usually are.

Ask to receive the “unbelievable deal” or the “amazing prize offer” in writing so you can read it carefully before making a commitment.

Never give out your personal information over the phone or internet unless you have initiated the contact. Legitimate business callers will never ask you for this information over the phone.

If a caller asks you to pay for an offer in advance or asks for your credit card number or Social Security number, tell the person you don’t give out personal information over the telephone.

Legitimate telemarketers won’t be turned off if you use these techniques.

The Illinois Sheriffs’ Association is advising all Illinois residents that a phone campaign fraudulently is using the name of the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association in their solicitation.

According to a news release, The Illinois Sheriffs’ Association never solicits by phone, but does conduct a direct mail campaign throughout the state of Illinois endorsed by the individual sheriffs across Illinois.

Telemarketing fraud costs billions of dollars each year. Phone solicitors who want you to “act immediately” or are of-

fering a “too good to be true” opportunity are most likely fraudulent. Remember that if you have any doubts, or are highly pressured, just hang up.

You have the right to ask for the following information: the name, address and phone number of the organization for which they are soliciting; the name, address and phone number of the telemarketing firm; the percentage of every dollar paid to the telemarketing firm; insist on something in writing before making a pledge or commitment.

If you cannot get the answers to these questions, do not hesitate to hang up the phone. After all, it is your money.

District 54 approves health insurance plan

Channahon trustees talk signs, scales for Thorntons

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – After years of waiting and negotiating, a business is set to open at the northwest corner of the Route 6 and Interstate 55 interchange in Channahon.

Thorntons Inc. intends to open a gasoline and convenience store by the end of August. Outlots on the property are available for restaurants and a hotel.

Village trustees at the June 5 meeting dealt with some remaining details for the business, including approving the addition of truck weigh scales and associated signage – but not without discussion and several votes against the request for the planned unit development revision.

At issue was the size and brightness of the CAT scales sign that Thorntons requested. CAT wanted the sign to be 106 square feet, with

a height of 21 feet on two poles. CAT representative Kent Jurgerson told trustees the company would like the sign to be its characteristic yellow with black lettering, and lit up from inside to be easily seen by truckers pulling in from the interstate.

Several trustees thought the sign was too large and bright.

Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher said it was too obtrusive a sign for “the gateway to our city,” and said she would rather see it smaller and black with yellow letters, rather than yellow with black letters. The lessened glare, she said, will especially matter for attraction of a hotel to the site.

Trustee Mark Scaggs said he thought the village’s sign ordinances were too strict and that the proposed CAT signage would not be detrimental.

Trustees Scott Slocum and Chantal Host voted against the request to

revise the development.

After the meeting, Slocum said the appearance of the signage would not be conducive to the village’s image.

Host said she felt the same and added that the signage might prevent effective marketing of the remainder of the site to other businesses.

“I felt like they haven’t stayed true to the original plan they submitted,” she said. “This was not intended to be a truck stop. It was intended to be a travel center.”

Trustees approved allowing a significantly smaller, 40-square-foot yellow pre-scale sign on a single pole.

The revision also included bans on cargo transfers.

In a previous meeting, Trustee Scott McMillin asked what would keep truck drivers from unloading part of their cargo to another vehicle if their truck was over the weight limit. McMillin said he didn’t want to see Thorntons becoming a parking

lot for cargo transfers.

Also included in the revision was a clause to mandate that Thorntons reimburse Channahon for the village’s use of the scales up to 36 times each year. Police can use the scales on trucks they suspect of being over the roadway weight limit, and the public works department can use it to weigh salt trucks to ensure accurate deliveries.

Director of Community Development Mike Petrick said from his calculations, the addition of a scale to Thorntons will not affect truck traffic significantly.

Without a scale, he said, predictions are for nine truck visits every two hours. About 10 trucks in that period would frequent Thorntons with the scale.

The fuel fill-ups from the additional traffic alone would generate an extra $86,400 in annual diesel tax revenue to the village, he said.

Nelson said that aerial applicator pilots often are on drift watch to make sure product doesn’t reach nearby farms. One reason the drift doesn’t carry too far is because Nelson and other aerial applicator pilots spray from just a few feet above the crop, often giving pause to someone traveling down the road next to a field when they start their ascent at the end of the field.

The biggest danger to the pilots, ac-

cording to Nelson, is electrical wires and structures that have been built and not marked that a pilot can’t see, often until it’s too late.

Nelson has run into two electrical lines – one in Illinois and one in Oklahoma – and said he was lucky it didn’t do too much damage to the plane.

“We try to fly in the safest manner possible, and try not to fly over houses, but sometimes we have to to spray a field,” Nelson said. “It looks dangerous, but it isn’t.”

“You put the GPS coordinates on a stick that you put in the computer on the plane,” Nelson said. “Then I can send it to the farmer so he can see that everything was sprayed.”

In addition to the coordinates of the fields that need sprayed, the software

alerts Nelson and other aerial applicators where organic farms are and where people are raising honey bees so they can avoid those areas or alert them to their presence.

“An organic farmer or someone with bees can go online and put their information in the system. Those areas are marked with solid red boxes,” Nelson said. “If I am spraying insecticide in an area, I can see there are bees and let the bee farmer know ahead of time that I will be in the area and

Every home, big or small, should have a ‘mudroom’

By ELIZABETH MAYHEW

Special to The Washington Post Given the volatile weather we encounter, we need to be prepared for all conditions all the time. Boots, umbrellas, coats and hats pile up the minute you and your family bound through the door, so if you don’t already have a mudroom, it’s time you did.

A mudroom brings order to chaos. Creating a mudroom – even in a tight space – is possible with a few smart purchases and some organizing know-how.

The location of your mudroom will dictate how it is outfitted and furnished.

If you usually enter your house through the front door, that’s where you’ll put the mudroom – but it also will be the first space that visitors see, so you don’t want it to look like a boot bomb went off. In other words, it needs to function like a mudroom but not look like one.

If you tend to enter your house through a back door, then you can take a more utilitarian approach.

Either way, follow as many of these suggestions as you can:

• Lay a foundation: An all-weather rug protects your floor at the same time that it stands up to dirt and stains. Most of these rugs are made from polypropylene, so they can be scrubbed and bleached. For entryways, consider using one of the many striped models from Dash & Albert. The friendly stripes visually draw you into the house. If necessary, use double-sided carpet tape to keep the rug from curling at the sides and becoming a hazard.

always have to rely on the overhead light – not only does a table lamp cast a more flattering glow, but it also is a nice light to leave on so that family members don’t have to return to a dark house. Add a tray on top of the console just big enough to hold a day’s worth of mail and your keys. (That way you can always find them.)

• Put your coat closet to work: Often, a front-hall closet becomes

• Invest in the building blocks: Buy a storage piece, such as a console fitted with several baskets, so that you have a place to stash gloves, hats and scarves. If you have room, provide a bench or chair where you can sit to remove boots and shoes.

For a more informal look, consider locker-style units or modular pieces such as those from Pottery Barn or Ballard Designs.

MORRIS – From homegrown to homemade, vendors set up and sell their wares monthly at the Three French Hens Market in Morris.

The market, which is held on the second Saturday each month from May through October, offers small-business owners and artisans a place to showcase and sell their creations.

Nestled along the I & M Canal on Illinois Avenue, the market has grown each year with new vendors joining all the time.

It was voted one of the “Top Five Markets in the Nation” by Romantic Homes magazine.

This month’s recipient was Habitat for Humanity.

MORRIS – Saturday’s Cruise Night in Morris saw a total of 778 eye-catching vehicles, a number that founder Herb Wyeth said was not unexpected for the event.

“We average 700 to 800 cars,” he said. “For a cruise night, that’s pretty good.”

Morris is one of the Midwest’s leaders in cruise nights. Wyeth recruits enthusiasts from all over the country when he attends national events.

When the owners show their cars here, he said that they love the atmosphere.

“Once they come,” he said, “they bring cars back because they love it.”

Morris resident Mark Washburn received quite a bit of attention Saturday for his family’s bright orange 1941 Ford pickup.

Mark brought the rusty beater home in 2009, and he put the finishing touches on it this summer. Washburn is the owner of J & M Auto Body in Morris, and he and his staff worked on it when they found time.

“I wanted a ’40, ’41,” Mark Washburn said. Mark is married to Diane Washburn, who works for the Morris Herald-News. “They’re basically the

Local projects in the works for high-speed rail By the numbers

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com The railroad crossing work that started recently in Braidwood is a reminder that high-speed rail is on its way.

The Illinois Department of Transportation has said high-speed rail work from Chicago to St. Louis should be done by the end of 2017, taking one hour off the train ride that now takes about 5 hours and 15 minutes.

Projects along the way range from railroad crossing improvements, such as that being done in Braidwood, to the $50 million multimodal facility being built in Joliet.

In Wilmington, a new railroad bridge will be built over the Kankakee River, and IDOT plans to make improvements on two other railroad bridges running through the city.

When all is done, the maximum speed for trains in the corridor will be 110 mph, compared with 79 mph today.

Expectations are that ridership will increase.

The total budget for the high-speed rail project is $1.95 billion. Federal funds account for $1.65 billion. So far, about $1 billion has been spent, according to IDOT.

Lincoln Service (Chicago to St. Louis) ridership 2015: 576,705 2014: 633,531 2013: 655,465 2012: 597,519 2011: 549,465 2010: 572,424 Joliet boardings and departures 2015: 64,349 2014: 70,148 2013: 70,142 2012: 63,102 2011: 54,668 2010: 53,322

According to IDOT, more than 260 miles of track have been replaced.

Curves have been realigned to allow for faster trains.

In Wilmington, the state plans to replace the railroad bridge that crosses the Kankakee River and improve bridges over Water Street and Forked Creek.

The state is doing an environmental study in the Kankakee River in

preparation for that project, Wilmington City Manager Tony Graf said.

“They had a biologist out in the area last week, collecting mussels to do an assessment,” he said.

The city has control over building permits for the two other bridges.

Graf said the city has not issued the permits, as it is pressing a case for compensation for expected damage to surrounding streets as construction equipment moves in.

“The main issue is that our roads are residential and not built to handle that truck traffic,” Graf said.

Wilmington wants the state to invest an estimated $475,000 in road improvements.

“Otherwise,” Graf said, “the roads are going to be damaged.”

Braidwood crossing

The Braidwood project at Main Street, also Route 113, is designed to improve crossing safety, according to IDOT. The project includes the installation of four-quadrant gates to prevent vehicles from crossing the tracks while trains pass. There also will be new signs and pavement markings, as well as improvements to pedestrian crossings and sidewalks.

The Braidwood work is scheduled to be completed by July 25, depending on the weather.

in Joliet last year totaled 64,349, according to Amtrak.

The potential of high-speed rail has been mentioned less and less over the years as the state and Joliet have struggled to keep funding in place to finish the project.

The future Joliet train station is one of five to be built along the Chicago-St. Louis corridor, according to an IDOT website. Others are in Dwight, Pontiac, Carlinville and Alton.

Jones said better facilities, along with faster trains, should help persuade more people to consider rail travel.

“You put the comfort into the experience of people using the train, and it creates a more favorable experience for people who have options,” he said.

Amtrak looks forward to new stations along the Lincoln Service line, including Joliet, Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said.

“The more inviting the station is, the more likely people are to be drawn to the product, which is why we are so desirous to see the completion of [the Joliet] project,” Magliari said.

Foundation grants help local nonprofits

Each year the Community Foundation of Grundy County provides grants to nonprofits from Grundy County and beyond through our donor funds and our competitive grant process.

In 2015, $180,415 was awarded to organizations throughout the country.

Of the total amount, $145,015 came from donor funds, $30,400 was from our unrestricted grant fund and $5,000 from our youth philanthropy fund.

Donor funds are started by an individual, family or group and can grant money out to their favorite nonprofit organization anywhere.

The unrestricted grant fund is also known as our competitive grant program. Organizations must submit a grant application that is then reviewed by our Grants and Programs Committee. The unrestricted grant fund allows for $30,000 to be granted out over the course of the year

VIEWS Devan Gagliardo to organizations that serve Grundy County. The maximum grant amount per organization per year is $5,000 at this time.

The youth philanthropy fund allows for $5,000 to be granted out during a calendar year. Much like the unrestricted fund, the youth fund requires organizations complete an application, which is then reviewed by the Youth Engaged in Philanthropy Committee.

In 2016 the Community Foundation of Grundy County has already provided $17,399 in grants from our unrestricted fund and $5,000 from

our youth philanthropy fund. The following organizations have received grants in 2016 from the unrestricted fund: Junior Achievement, Grundy County, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will & Grundy County, Illinois Valley Industries, and Grundy Area Chapter of National Ambucs Inc. In May, the Youth Engaged in Philanthropy Committee presented grants to Grundy Area PADS, Grundy Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity and Boy Scouts of America.

The Grants and Programs Committee meets the first Wednesday of each month to review grant requests and still has the capacity to assist additional organizations in 2016. The Youth Engaged in Philanthropy Group meets from October until May and typically requires grant requests be submitted in March.

If your organization is interested in

obtaining information about applying for a grant through the Community Foundation of Grundy County, contact Devan at 815-941-0852 or devan@ cfgrundycounty.com. Instructions for assembling and submitting a grant application packet are available at www. cfgrundycounty.com.

Animal Care Hospital recognized for veterinary excellence SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Animal Care Hospital of Morris recently was recognized for serving with a high level of veterinary excellence, according to an evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association.

Animal Care Hospital of Morris earned AAHA accreditation after a rigorous review of the hospital’s practice protocols, medical equipment, facility and client service, according to a news release from the business. Unlike human hospitals, not all animal hospitals are required to be accredited.

Accredited hospitals are the only hospitals that choose to be evaluated on approximately 900 quality standards that go above and beyond basic state regulations, ranging from patient care and pain management to staff training and advanced diagnostic services. AAHA-accredited hospitals are recognized among the finest in the industry and are at the forefront of veterinary medicine.

AAHA standards are reviewed and updated to keep accredited practices modernized.

The hospital says pet owners look for AAHA-accredited locations because they value their pet’s health and trust the care provided by the health care team.

At AAHA-accredited practices, pet owners can expect to receive high-qual-

The Illinois EPA has reviewed the application and made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review and comment.

The Illinois EPA is accepting written comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight August 13, 2016. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Jillian Hawkins, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, 1021 N. Grand Ave East, PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois, 62794-9506, phone 217/524-0922, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, jillian.hawkins@illinois.gov.

The repositories for these documents and the application are at the Illinois EPA’s offices at 9511 West Harrison in Des Plaines, 847/294-4000 and 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you). The draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa.gov/caa-permitting/region-5-electronic-permits.

Copies of the documents may also be obtained upon request to the contact listed above.

The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act require potentially major sources of air emissions to obtain federally enforceable operating permits. A FESOP permit allows a source that is potentially major to take operational limits in the permit so that it is a non-major source. The permit will contain federally enforceable limitations that restrict the facility’s emissions to non-major levels. The permit will be enforceable by the USEPA, as well as the Illinois EPA.

Liberty Arts Festival returns to Morris The second annual Liberty Arts Festival kicks off Thursday. We’re excited to have more fine artists than last year, as well as a separate Hand Made Market. Today, I would like to highlight a few new activities at this year’s festival.

On Thursday evening, you will want to head to the courthouse lawn at 5:15 p.m. and vote on the photo of your favorite artistic pet.

For several weeks, entries have been submitted on the “Artistic Pets Photo Contest” Facebook page, and the top five will be displayed for public voting.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three entries. On Friday, we are excited to bring a “Creator’s Village” to the Grundy County Courthouse lawn from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sponsored by Grundy Bank, the village will feature nine tents, each featuring a creative activity.

Kids will enjoy drawing and coloring, collage making, a photo booth, chalk art, storytelling, making beads and bracelets, caricatures, top-making demonstrations and a hula hoop contest.

COMMUNITY PULSE Julie Applegate Additionally, kids will have the opportunity to color a large banner, designed by 11-year-old Alexis Crask of Seneca. Kids can pick up their Creator’s Village Passport at the “Greeting Booth,” have it stamped in each booth, and receive a prize to take home with their bag of artistic goodies.

Festival-goers will also have the opportunity to explore the art of fused glass by watching a demonstration, or creating their own one-of-a-kind pendant ($10) or magnet ($6). Glass pieces will be fired at CoGo Glass studio in Morris and return mailing will be arranged at the time of making.

Be sure to stay in the area for Friday afternoon’s Redskins Summer Drama Camp Skits. These young thespians will be presenting their finale performances

between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.

On Friday evening, rather than offering a traditional concert, we are bringing a “Budding Musicians/Songwriter Showcase” to the courthouse lawn at 6:30 p.m. Local upcoming musicians will be performing their original music. You won’t want to miss hearing Matthew Ripsch, Craig Brown, Maddie Flood, Jennifer Robinson-Toschak and Brent Brown.

Dance and music will be coming to downtown early on Saturday with Zumba on the Courthouse lawn. Instruction will be provided by Tonya Vidito of Limitless Fitness from 9 to 10 a.m.

Another addition to this year’s festival is a Vinyl Record Exchange. Swap, trade or give away your vinyls from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday at Clayton’s Tap, 122 W. Washington St. Record players will be on hand to demo your tune, and vinyl up-cycling ideas will be presented. A sleeve-face selfie station will be available and shenanigans are encouraged!

Several activities will be returning this year with a few twists. The popular

Shine Music Jam will be returning with extended hours and crafts and games for kids. The Morris Retail Association is once again auctioning items that you have seen on the streets of downtown, but this year the items are garden related.

Of course, many of the activities that have been enjoyed in previous years will be returning including Colleen Lawrence’s Kinder Music and strings, Grundy Bank’s Brown Bag Friday and Ice Cream Social, train rides, face painting and plenty of music!

Joliet Junior College offers variety of activities for the community Know more

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

JOLIET – Joliet Junior College is more than an educational institution. It’s a community resource.

Susan Stockwell, event coordinator and scheduler for the school, wants to connect the community with that resource. That’s anyone in the community: individuals, families, businesses, schools, civic groups, social groups – really anyone, not just students.

And resources? Stockwell said those include the former Cronin Schoolhouse, the Herbert Trackman Planetarium, the nature trails and even rental space, such as classrooms and auditoriums, for various events, such as conferences, meetings, seminars and training sessions.

One business recently held a lunch – served by JJC – in one of the cafeterias, rented out several classrooms and offered 32 vendors on the campus’s indoor bridge, Stockwell said.

“People should come to see what JJC has to offer,” Stockwell said. “I book the theater all the time for kids’ recitals. We have outside events – for motorcycle training and the police do some of their training outside. The softball field, we can rent out. We’re actually looking at getting a gazebo so we can do more outside events.”

When renting space from JJC, Stock-

Janet Jones a music award quarterfinalist Know more

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

CHANNAHON – Janet Jones teaches, directs, plays and advocates for music – all kinds of music.

Mostly Jones – a quarterfinalist for the Music Educator Award presented by The Recording Academy and the Grammy Foundation – teaches.

“I think music teaches everybody to be kinder, to be more well-rounded, more aware of the world and how we perceive things, how we work through our daily lives – conflicts, problems, sadness,” Jones said. “I think music just makes people very happy. It’s always made me happy.”

Jones said she knew by age 7 she wanted to teach. When Jones began teaching music in 1988 at Kirby School District 140 in Tinley Park, she was supplied with a record player, “a couple of rhythm sticks,” and “a few other instruments,” such as an xylophone.

The children far outnumbered the equipment. So Jones asked the district to buy more instruments – and still more.

Eventually Jones’ students were performing concerts and hosting drumming circles. Jones’ musical cache now includes adaptive instruments for students with special needs – including students who are hearing-impaired – and instruments from all over the globe.

“Children enjoy music so much when it’s hands-on, when they get to play instruments, when they get to sing,” Jones said. “Music is not listening to someone talk about what music is.”

Jones grades students on enthusiasm and “a certain amount of proficiency,” as most children can at least play percussion. On three occasions, Jones has taken students to the state capital to advocate for music education funding. All-school involvement isn’t limited to concerts.

“We had a conducting contest where children learned how to conduct basic patterns,” Jones said. “We had a student winner and a teacher winner. They got to conduct the choir. We have a children’s choir that performs as well.”

The entire month of March this year was dedicated to music. Jones put 100 music facts around the school building for people to read. She hosted “Name that Tune” contests. She put instruments in the hallway for people to explore.

In addition to teaching music, Jones is the minister of music for the Plainfield

About Janet Jones

Congregational Church United Church of Christ. Jones conducts the adult and children’s choir, chancel band and the contemporary group, Inspiration.

The Rev. Thom Parrott-Sheffer, the church’s pastor, said Jones is the “consummate professional” and praised Jones’ abilities and dedication. He’s worked with her and under her direction.

“I play with her in the band,” Parrott-Sheffer said, “and I sing with her in the choir.”

Jones is also a member of the 27-yearold classic rock band UnionJack, where she sings and plays keyboards and percussion. Aside from the band, Jones is

also a flutist.

According to a news release from Grammy.org, 290 music teachers from 264 cities in 41 states are quarterfinalists for the Music Educator Award presented by The Recording Academy and the Grammy Foundation. The award is given to music educators who have made significant contributions in their field.

A number of quarterfinalists hailed from Illinois. Locally, these also include Cameron Kotovsky from Coal City High School and Joe Renardo from Indian Trail Middle School in Frankfort.

The recipient will be honored during Grammy Week 2017.

According to information supplied by Jones, some of her accomplishments include: n 1982 – Bachelor of Science in music education, University of Illinois n 1984 – Master of Music in piano performance, University of Illinois. Also a Master of Music in performance in piano/piano pedagogy/voice. n 1988 – Taught at Yamaha Music Education School, Sioux Falls, South Dakota n 1988 – Hired as a music teacher in Kirby School District 140 in Tinley Park.

Presented and demonstrated the evolutionary Yamaha Clavinova to the district, which led to the purchase on new digital keyboards for each music classroom. n 2002 – Awarded a certificate from former superintendent Gary Peck for “Distinguished Achievement for our Veterans Day Celebration.” n 2008 – One of 23 teachers and the only teacher in District 140 to apply for and be awarded a Promethean Board (interactive board) for the music students.

Began as minister of music for Plainfield Congregational Church United Church of Christ. n 2009, 2011 and 2013 – In May of each of those years, Jones and select music students represented District 140 at the State Capitol Building in Springfield for the ICE TECH conference.

Students spoke to state senators and representatives about the importance of funding for music education and technology. n 2009 – In December, choir students joined numerous public schools in Chicago for a combined “One Accord” choir.

The performance was in conjunction with a topping-off ceremony for the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.

Cronin is a former student of the school. Ghilain’s mother taught at the schoolhouse in the 1920s. While all tours delve into the schoolhouse’s rich history and give visitors a glimpse of school

in past years, Cronin and Ghilain also share their personal perspectives.

“It’s great for students to see how schoolhouses were back in the day,” Stockwell said.

For years, Stockwell was the supervisor and wedding planner for JJC’s Renaissance Center, which she thoroughly

enjoyed. Stockwell’s new position on the main campus is equally satisfying.

She can’t imagine working any place except Joliet Junior College. Stockwell said she loves being around the students and working with the public.

“The days just go by so fast,” Stockwell said. “No day is boring.”

“

I’VE PRETTY MUCH SEEN THINGS HERE FROM ALL ANGLES. I WAS A STUDENT HERE, I WAS AN ATHLETE HERE, I HAVE BEEN A TEACHER HERE, I’VE BEEN A COACH, AN ADMINISTRATOR AND NOW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. I HAVE HAD ONE CHILD GRADUATE FROM HERE ALREADY AND I HAVE ANOTHER WHO IS A SENIOR, SO I HAVE BEEN THE PARENT OF A STUDENT-ATHLETE. I FEEL LIKE THAT HAS PREPARED ME VERY WELL FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY COME UP. ” Jeff Johnson, athletic director at Morris Community High School

MORRIS

Jeff Johnson takes over as athletic director

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – If anything has been constant at Morris Community High School, it has been that the leadership has remained, for the most part, local.

The athletic department certainly has had local leadership during the last four decades. Starting with Dan Darlington in the late 1970s, only one year of Morris time has not had one of its own graduates sitting in the athletic director’s chair.

That tradition will continue – Morris graduate Jeff Johnson officially took over the job on July 1. Johnson had been the assistant principal at MCHS for the past 10 years after spending 12 years as a teacher and coach at his alma mater.

“I definitely have roots here,” Johnson said. “My mom and dad met while they were going to school here, and their first date was the junior/senior prom here. I went to high school here, and this is the only school where I have taught. There’s nowhere else I would rather be, to be honest.”

A Redskin through and through

Johnson graduated from MCHS in 1989 before embarking on a football scholarship to Southern Illinois University. He graduated from SIU with a bachelor’s in education in the spring of 1994. As luck would have it, Morris High School had several job openings that same year when he began his job search.

“There were three math openings here when I graduated from college,” Johnson said. “I was able to get one of those and I have never left.”

Johnson jumped right into the athletic mix, too. He began coaching football and basketball when he started as a teacher. He spent 11 years as an assistant football coach and 12 years in the basketball program. He was an assistant basketball coach for the first seven years of his career before taking over the varsity program from longtime Redskin coach Keith Laughary.

After completing his master’s degree in education administration at Governors State University in 2001, Johnson decided to stop coaching and begin administration work at MCHS in 2007, first as the dean of students and later as

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Jeff Johnson sits at his new desk as the Morris Community High School athletic director. He has been a teacher, coach and assistant principal at the school before taking the AD position. assistant principal.

Now as athletic director, Johnson says that his variety of experience within the building will only help as time goes on.

“I’ve pretty much seen things here from all angles,” Johnson said. “I was a student here, I was an athlete here, I have been a teacher here, I’ve been a coach, an administrator and now athletic director. I have had one child graduate from here already and I have another who is a senior, so I have been the parent of a student-athlete.

“I feel like that has prepared me very well for anything that may come up.

No matter what the situation, or who is bringing it up to me, I have been in their shoes and should be able to relate

to them.”

Johnson said his main focus for the athletic program is to make sure it continues to flourish. He also hopes to encourage more athletic participation.

“I was a three-sport athlete when I went here,” he said. “At a school our size, we really can’t afford to have a lot of specialization. We need to have our best athletes playing as many things as possible. More and more college scouts are looking for multi-sport athletes when they are recruiting than they were a few years ago. I whole-heartedly encourage that as well. I think the more a kid can get out there and compete instead of just training, the better off they are in the long run.”

Johnson spent much of the 2015-16

school year learning from the tutelage of former Morris athletic director George Dergo and feels ready to step into the big shoes.

“The final step, now, is to really learn the day-to-day ins and outs of the job,” he said. “Luckily, George [Dergo] has told me a lot about what to expect, and the athletic secretary, Amber Sharp, will be a big help. The goal right now is to get settled into the office and get used to the day-to-day.

“Long term, I would really like to see us have a general athletic booster club.

Most of our sports have their own individual booster clubs, and they all do a great job. I would like to see that expand and have one general booster club as well.”

Model division’s 100-lap Wayne Carter Classic, presented by Rod Baker Ford and Illinois Truck Equipment.

Also in the schedule for the evening is a 50-lap Mid-American Stock Car Series feature race, and a 20-lap Grundy County 4-Cylinder race.

The Late Model feature race is 30 laps, Mid-Americans have a 25-lap feature, and 4-cylinders typically run a

15-lap feature race.

Also on the agenda is a match race between Ty Majeski and Eddie Hoffman – Hoffman being the defending Grundy Speedway Late Model points champion. The two will square off in a race, with $1,000 going to the winner.

Because of the special nature of the evening, ticket prices are increased on Friday. Adults will cost $18, senior

citizens $15, and students ages 17 to 12 will cost $10. Kids ages 11 and younger enter for free.

Parking is free at the Grundy Speedway, just north of Morris on Route 47.

Racing will begin a half-hour earlier than normal, with qualifying to begin at 6:15 p.m. and the first race scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

Hoffman, starting from the sixth position, took over the lead on Lap 10 and never relinquished it after that.

Danta, meanwhile, started in the eighth position and moved into second on Lap 24, but couldn’t overtake Hoffman as the winner finished .397 seconds ahead.

Andy Jones finished in third place in the Late Model race, followed by Billy Knippenberg and pole sitter James Gregait. Tony Scapelli Jr., Larry Schuler, John Nutley, Brandon Clubb and Boris Jurkovic rounded out the top 10.

STAFF REPORTS

• Thursday, July 14, 2016

It’s been an up-and-down year for Minooka’s Mike Foltynewicz.

The major-league pitcher, who is in his second year with the Atlanta Braves, saw his season end early last year when it was discovered he needed to have surgery after being diagnosed with chostochondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone.

As a result, he underwent surgery to remove the anterior portion of his first rib.

After a long recovery, Foltynewicz was a little late in returning to spring training and began this season in the minor leagues.

He didn’t make his first start in the big leagues this season until May 2.

After finishing 2015 with a 4-6 record and 5.71 ERA, he seems to be getting closer and closer to turning the corner and becoming the dominant starting pitcher he’s been projected to be since being drafted in the first round by the Houston Astros in 2010.

In his third start of the season, Foltynewicz threw eight scoreless innings against defending World Series champ Kansas City and he finished the month of May with a 2-3 record and a more-than-respectable 3.51 ERA. However, the injury bug bit him again and he was placed on the disabled list with elbow soreness and made only one start in June, that on June 30.

On Sunday, Foltynewicz had the opportunity to pitch in front of a big group of fans from Minooka as he took the mound against the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.

He gave the hometown folks something to cheer about.

In what was probably the best outing of his major-league career, Foltynewicz worked seven shutout innings against the Sox in a 2-0 win, striking out 10 and allowing just five hits.

Perhaps the most important statistic for him was zero walks, as control has been a bit of an issue early in his big-league career.

The win puts Foltynewicz with a 3-3 record with a 3.67 ERA so far this season.

In 49 innings, he has allowed 49 hits and 11 walks while striking out 45.

The long ball has plagued him a bit, as 11 of the 49 hits he has allowed have left the ballpark.

to staying with their young players, and the 24-year-old Foltynewicz appears to figure prominently in their future plans.

Meanwhile, in Lansing, Michigan, former Morris Community High School pitcher Josh DeGraaf is playing for the Lugnuts, the Class A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.

After being drafted in the 31st round by the Blue Jays last summer after a stellar career at Taylor University in Indiana, DeGraaf spent time in the Rookie League with Bluefield and in Class A (Short Season) with Vancouver.

He was 2-2 with a 3.30 ERA between the two stops, logging 43 innings with 34 strikeouts against 13 walks.

This season, DeGraaf has spent his entire season with Lansing so far, being used exclusively out of the bullpen. He has fashioned a 5-5 record with a 2.95 ERA so far, with three saves.

In 55 innings, he has allowed 48 hits and 12 walks while striking out 43 and holding opponents to a .245 batting average.

DeGraaf and the Lugnuts play in the Midwest League, the same league as the Kane County Cougars. They come to Geneva to play the Cougars on July 23-25.

Even now, we can learn from Grizzly Adams There are times when we have bad days, weeks, or even worse, years.

A common theme when life gets crazy is to pack up and head to the mountains. I don’t know how many times I have had that thought.

Now add in all the moments others have mentioned the same idea and I begin to wonder how crowded the mountains might get.

While driving in the car today, the topic surfaced and steered toward an old television show I used to love.

“The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams” was a huge hit nationwide.

The program featured Dan Haggerty as the rugged mountain man.

According to the storyline, Grizzly was wrongly accused of a crime and fled to the safety of the wilderness. He took in an orphaned grizzly bear and named it Ben. His only friends were an old trader named Mad Jack and a Native American called Nakoma.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Mad Jack’s stubborn mule, Number 7. I’m sure many of your memories are kicking into gear

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers about now.

These three characters led the viewers on a wide range of adventures.

No matter what the episode title though, nature served as a centerpiece for setting things right.

The nation was having an awakening to the importance of taking care of our natural places. The show fit into that ideal and fans popped up everywhere.

I never missed an episode.

From the moment the theme song written by Thom Pace came on, I was hooked. The opening lyrics accompanied by the melodic sounds of the late ’70s hooked millions of viewers.

The first line said, “Deep inside the forest is a door into another land, here is our life and home.”

The song played on while beautiful shots of mountain landscapes filled

the screen. The last part of the song repeats “take me home, take me home.”

What is it about the majesty of the mountainous outdoors that calls us home? Is is the vast landscape?

Is it the purity of the mountain air and water? Or a combination of both?

Whatever it is, this show struck a chord with many from coast to coast.

It beckons to a simpler time when a peace and harmony could be found with nature.

A peace that transcended the troubles of our world and reordered priorities.

Maybe it was just the convergence of a peace and love era mixed with a national fervor to protect our wild places, but the message and theme of that old show can teach us something even today.

It seems that the media perpetuate hate, prejudice and news that flares strong opinions.

Our nation is divided in politics, race, and what our “rights” really are. It is sad.

We need a major readjustment of

what is important, how we are supposed to treat one another, and what finding peace means.

It would be nice if we all could escape to the mountains, build a little cabin, and set things right within ourselves and the world around us.

Yet, somehow, reality can find us.

Even Grizzly Adams dealt with wayward intruders into his pristine paradise. Some just needed his help, while others came with more sinister plans.

I don’t know why this old program has been on my mind lately.

Maybe it is because Dan Haggerty passed away this last January.

Maybe it is because everything seemed so perfect in that fictional place.

Or maybe it is because deep down, we all yearn for the opportunity to escape to a home that leaves the troubles of the world behind.

I think it is about time to crank up an old episode, let the theme song fill the room, and watch Grizzly Adams and ol’ Ben light up the screen.

Oh, cilantro haters, must you loathe this simple green herb so vehemently?

When passing out salsa samples at the Pearl Market recently, I found myself on the receiving end of cilantro hostility.

Market patrons asked pointedly: “Is there cilantro in that?”

When I said the salsa was indeed flavored with cilantro, a full-body shudder would inevitably follow, accompanied by a declaration: “I hate cilantro!”

So much scorn for such a harmless herb. Can’t cilantro haters be a little more civil, say, along the lines of the mayonnaise vs. Miracle Whip debaters?

I understand that cilantro really does taste like soap to some; even Julia Child was a cilantro hater. For others, the taste and smell reminds them of bugs. (I won’t get into the discussion of how these folks know what bugs taste like.)

I don’t question scientific research that overwhelmingly suggests that genetics rule how people perceive the taste of cilantro. Cilantro haters can’t help the dislike; it’s in their genes.

I get all of that. But I don’t understand the fervor.

Distaste for cilantro has prompted a website (ihatecilantro.com) with almost 5,000 followers and an entire section of anti-cilantro haiku the likes of this:

black-and-white,” she said. Cilantro “simply ruins everything it touches.”

Her frustration has been compounded by cilantro’s apparent proliferation, from the rice at Chipotle to its use as a garnish on drinks.

“A bloody mary at a French restaurant maybe takes the cake,” May said.

The farmers market patrons I tried to sway had their minds as fixed as May’s.

But change is possible. I, too, used to think cilantro tasted like soap. The more I ate it, though, the more I came

to enjoy it. Now, I’m a cilantro lover.

My experience isn’t unique. In a 2010 New York Times article, Northwestern University neuroscientist Jay Gottfried explained how he, too, was a cilantro covert. The more he ate, the more he liked it – a phenomenon he attributed to the brain constantly updating its database of experiences.

Our minds are open to adapting to new tastes. We just have to be willing to try them.

Every single time I taste that disgusting plant I die more inside

Plenty of folks don’t care for mushrooms, yet the Facebook page Culinary Mushroom Haters of America has just six fans.

For help understanding the vitriol, I turned to former Columbus, Ohio, resident Erin H. May, who maintains an anti-cilantro blog, ihatecilantro. wordpress.com.

May, who now lives in Brooklyn, New York, even included her dislike of cilantro in her 2011 wedding vows, proclaiming that her love for her groom was as certain as her hatred of cilantro.

How’s that for romantic?

In an email exchange, May admitted that she knows of no other food that so bitterly divides people.

An editor who sometimes writes about food, May described her dislike of cilantro as “pure, unadulterated hate.’”

“The Food and Wine of France: Eating and Drinking from Champagne to Provence” by Edward Behr.

In “The Food and Wine of France,” the influential food writer Edward Behr investigates French cuisine and what it means, in encounters from Champagne to Provence. He tells the stories of French artisans and chefs who continue to work at the highest level.

Many people in and out of France have noted for a long time the slow retreat of French cuisine, concerned that it is losing its important place in the country’s culture and in the world culture of food.

And yet, as Behr writes, good French food remains very, very delicious. No cuisine is better.

The sensuousness is overt.

French cooking is generous, both obvious and subtle, simple and complex, rustic and utterly refined. A lot of recent inventive food by comparison is wildly abstract and austere.

In the tradition of great food writers, Edward Behr seeks out the best of French food and wine. He shows not only that it is as relevant as ever, but he also challenges us to see that it might become the world’s next cutting edge cuisine.

Raj (Kunal Nayyar) is too generous with presents for expectant parents Howard and Bernadette (Simon Helberg, Melissa Rauch).

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones The team’s latest case is a gem, literally, in a new episode that shares a title with a classic miniseries: “The Jewel in the Crown.” A murder victim’s jaw has a diamond in it, prompting a multi-pronged investigation of the glass-recycling plant where the corpse was found. The deceased person’s husband (guest star Gilles Marini, “Switched at Birth”) turns out to be a member of foreign royalty. Booth (David Boreanaz) has a health concern.

Tim Tebow is the co-host.

Finally, it’s not enough just to bake bread, it has to resemble something — since creating sculptures that can be eaten is the task at hand.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Hollywood Game Night Oscar winner Geena Davis — to be seen in this fall’s series “The Exorcist” — is a Mensa member, literally, so her high IQ would seem to give her an advantage in leading a team of female players against the men in “Battle of the Sexes III.” Kate Walsh (“Private Practice”) and Angela Kinsey (“The Office”) are among her comrades, with Michael Ealy (“The Perfect Guy”), Ben Feldman (“Superstore”) and Adam Goldberg on the other squad. Jane Lynch is the host.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Celebrity Family Feud You probably don’t want to get two teams of pro boxers mad at each other, but if they’re having a showdown here, it hopefully won’t get too physical. The first contest in this new episode pits a squad that includes Victor Ortiz and Ray Nercer against a group featuring “Sugar” Shane Mosley and James Toney — and host Steve Harvey may want to keep a safe distance, in case. The hour’s second game should be milder, with actress Joely Fisher vs. skateboarder Tony Hawk.

7 p.m. on + WTTW Dancing on the Edge Louis (Chiwetel Ejiofor) has a hard time buying Julian’s (Tom Hughes) alibi concerning the assault on Jessie (Angel Coulby) in “Episode 4.” A performance by the band results in an incident that leaves Stanley (Matthew Goode) eager to get even. Doubtful about having Masterson’s (John Goodman) support, Louis becomes a fugitive after police show up, prompting him to assume they’re pursuing him.

Jacqueline Bisset, Janet Montgomery and Anthony Head also star.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Brooklyn Nine-Nine Jake and Rosa (Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz) go global as a case with international elements necessitates their teaming with Swedish detectives in “The Swedes.”

Each country’s representatives are eager to “represent” better, which may get in the way of their solving the related crime. As

Kristine Leahy co-hosts “American Ninja Warrior” Monday on NBC. 8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth Joy to the world — and for its survivors — is scarce in “Silent Night,” as Melissa and Todd (January Jones, Mel Rodriguez) spend the season attempting to get past troubles in their relationship. Gail (Mary Steenburgen) does her part to try to make the end-of-year holidays more cheerful.

Will Forte, Kristen Schaal, Boris Kodjoe and Cleopatra Coleman also star.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Elementary A big part of an archaeologist’s work is discovery, but what one of them finds evidently gets him killed in “The Games Underfoot.” Holmes and Watson (Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu) probe the murder by seeking what may have been in a landfill that led to it. Holmes also experiences a strain in his relationship with his former sponsor Alfredo (Ato Essandoh). Aidan Quinn, Jon Michael Hill and John Noble also star.

9:30 p.m. on + WTTW The Tunnel The killer’s revelation of a third “Truth” confirms Karl and Elise’s (Stephen Dillane, Clemence Poesy) hunches in the new “Chapter 5.” The police have their own ideas about a suspect, namely Stephen Beaumont (Joseph Mawle), but a disappearance has an impact on Chuks’ (Tobi Bakare) ability to hold him for questioning.

Paul Ready, Tom Bateman, Mia Goth and Angel Coulby (“Dancing on the Edge”) also star.

Bob’s (voice of H. Jon Benjamin) sidewalk mishap leaves him with an injured shoulder, and a taste for a lawsuit to cover the surgery, in “Sexy Dance Healing.” A healer named Jairo (voice of guest star Jon Glaser) claims he can make Bob better without a doctor. Bob’s children’s have their own designs on legal action, devising a law firm in order to settle their grievances.

Steve Buscemi and Kevin Kline also are guest voices.

Jane Lynch stars in “Angel From Hell” Saturday on CBS.

Gina (Chelsea Peretti) gets ready for a big test, Amy and Terry (Melissa Fumero, Terry Crews) help her. Andre Braugher also stars.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Madam Secretary Domestic terrorism is the concern, after the fact, for President Dalton (Keith Carradine) and his administration in “Right of the Boom.” The chief executive demands answers — from Elizabeth (Tea Leoni) as well as others — about how the incident could have happened on American turf, but she’s also worried about Henry (Tim Daly), who was there. Jill Hennessy and Clifton Davis continue their recurring roles.

Bebe Neuwirth and Geoffrey Arend also star.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The $100,000 Pyramid If any of the categories in this new hour’s first episode have to do with politics, celebrity player Bellamy Young just might have it made, given her role as Mellie on “Scandal.” However, she might be at a disadvantage when it comes to music questions, since her opponent is master song parodist “Weird Al” Yankovic. The second game pits “Veep” Emmy winner Tony Hale against fellow actor Justin Long (“Jeepers Creepers”). Michael Strahan is the host.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

Retirement doesn’t last long for the title sleuth (played again by Kevin Whately) — which he’s not too disappointed about — as an encore of “Inspector Lewis, Season 7” begins with “Entry Wounds.” His expertise is sought as Hathaway (Laurence Fox) becomes an inspector, teamed with Detective Sergeant Lizzie Maddox (Angela Griffin), and tackles a case that’s linked to animal rights as well as neurosurgery.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy The family gets a surprising breadwinner — Stewie (voice of Seth MacFarlane), whose profits from being in a commercial enable him to support everyone — in “The Peanut Butter Kid.” Lois (voice of Alex Borstein) and Peter (MacFarlane again) go overboard in doing over the new star of the household, and Brian (MacFarlane yet again) ultimately helps Stewie decide whether he really wants his sudden fame.

Mila Kunis and Seth Green also are heard.
