Liberty Arts Festival helps to showcase local artists

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Artists of all levels lined the streets in downtown Morris on Saturday during the second annual Liberty Arts Festival.

Bill Needham of Morris stood at a lathe under a tent in front of the Grundy County Courthouse with other members of the Grundy Woodworkers Club who were on hand to show off their art.

“I enjoy the challenges of working with wood,” said Needham, a retired Caterpillar employee. “It uses math, compound angles and a little trigonometry.”

Needham sells his woodwork art as “Butterfly Creations,” a name symbolizing his retirement from Caterpillar, at different venues. He started working with wood in 2004 after spending years as a quality control worker at Cat, where metal was the project material.

“It’s the creativity that it allows me that I like,” he said. “I have to use all my talents and skill to create.”

Alongside him, Roy Galbreath of Diamond, another retired quality control worker from Caterpillar, said working with wood just gets into your blood.

“I’ve been working with wood for probably 60 years,” he said.

Galbreath said the first project he made from wood was a box – a box that didn’t really work out because it wasn’t square.

He’s been hooked ever since.

Around the corner on Liberty Street, Desiree Swanson of Minooka stood under her tent with a first-place ribbon hanging proudly. Swanson was chosen by a group of judges from the Liberty Arts Festival as the first-place artist based not only on her art, but also her display and set-up.

Swanson said she enjoys creating art based on nostalgic items.

“This is what I enjoy doing, I’m big on nostalgia,” she said. “I’ve painted things I’ve collected or others have collected.”

She said texture is the key element to her work that she feels is her signature work. Next to her, Arol McFadden, a pastor from Minooka, displayed his patriotic-themed artwork that included a portrait of Abraham Lincoln.

McFadden was chosen by judges as the second-place presenter at the show.

Josh Mettille, of Ottawa, chose Liberty Arts Festival as his first show, and he took home the third-place ribbon as an artist and exhibitor.

He’s been painting seriously since he was 10 but said he’s sure he’s been an artist since he was born.

“I started out drawing people,” he said.

“My grandpa came to visit and I just sat and sketched him.”

Mettille, a recent Ottawa High School graduate, now spends his time creating

portraits with charcoal and oil pastels.

“The majority of what I sell is my charcoal work, but I’ve recently started using oil pastels and I really like how they work for skin tones,” he said.

In addition to the local artisans, the festival provided live music and events for children including train rides around downtown Morris. Julie Applegate, the Morris Downtown Development Partnership director, said she was pleased with the turnout for the weekend’s events.

Illinois Valley Industries helps team up employers with employees with disabilities

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Kelly Kruger of Morris just found out she will be getting more hours at her job, a goal she has worked hard toward.

Kruger, a client at Illinois Valley Industries, works at Wendy’s in Morris as part of the Illinois Valley Industries Employment Options program, which launched earlier this year.

“I like wiping down the tables and sweeping the floors,” Kruger said.

“I’m excited about going to work every day.”

The program is designed to put adults with disabilities to work in their communities.

Community employment specialist Jamie Rios said that her part in the program is to be the middleman between the employer and the employee.

She meets with area businesses to see firsthand what job requirements there are for a position to see whether she has a client who could fit the open position.

“I look for a good fit for the employer,” she said. “I never share the disability. Instead, I look at what the job entails to see if I have a client who has those abilities.”

The goal of the program is to instill a sense of accomplishment and selfworth for the client, as well as provide a source of income.

Rios said for some parents of adults with disabilities, the job gives them a sense of relief that their child can be self-sufficient and not depend on them as they age.

Barb Armstrong, manager at Wendy’s in Morris, said having Kruger come to work every day has been great for her team.

“She helps us a lot. We give her du-

Armstrong said she knows during the busy lunch rush that the dining area is taken care of with Kruger wiping down tables and chairs and sweeping the floor.

“If you don’t give someone a

chance, you don’t know what they can do,” Armstrong said. “She comes in and says ‘Hi’ to everyone and gets to work.”

Illinois Valley Industries has been serving the adult population with developmental disabilities in the Morris area since 1970.

One of the primary avenues IVI uses is to help the population lead ful-

filling lives by assisting them with employment opportunities within the community.

IVI has a number of individuals employed at Grundy County businesses, including Big R, Culver’s, Granby’s Greenhouse, Jewel-Osco, Taco Bell, Weitz Café and Wendy’s.

Braidwood police charges 2 suspects with heroin possession

BRAIDWOOD – Braidwood police made more heroin-related arrests Thursday.

David L. Rasor, 33, of the 100 block of Hickory Street in Braidwood, and Rania A. Deboard, 33, of the 1800 block of Barr Street in Streator, were arrested on heroin-related charges, Braidwood Police Chief Nick Ficarello.

Ficarello said that after police received an anonymous tip about Rasor, they went Thursday night to a hotel where he was supposed to be that evening. When they identified him, they served him a warrant for his arrest.

He said Rasor and Deboard were allegedly trying to flush heroin in their possession down the toilet but police managed to recover four bags of heroin, which had a street value of $100.

Rasor faces charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and obstruction of justice.

His bond was set at $100,000, according to the online Will County Jail log.

Deboard also faces charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and obstruction of justice. Bond was set at $35,000, according to the jail log. Braidwood police have made several heroin-related arrests in the past, including one of a Braidwood man in June who was authorities allege had nine baggies of heroin. Braidwood police also have partnered with the Drug Enforcement Agency to make arrests.

Channahon man killed in motorcycle crash

CHANNAHON – A 55-year-old Channahon man died early Friday while returning home on his motorcycle.

Police Chief Jeff Wold said that at 1:15 a.m. an officer on patrol came across the crash near the entrance to the Hunters West subdivision. David H. Poole Jr. was later pronounced dead at the scene by Grundy County Coroner John Callahan.

“Preliminary investigation shows he hit the curb on the median and lost control of the bike,” Wold said.

Poole, who was not wearing a helmet, apparently fell and slid with the motorcycle.

Poole’s family told police he enjoyed going on long motorcycle rides and it was not unusual for him to return late at night, Wold said.

West Nile virus detected in Braceville

Judge Robert Marsaglia swears in David Welter while his wife, Ashley, holds a Bible for him on Friday evening at the Grundy County Courthouse in Morris.

Welter sworn in as state rep of the 75th District

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – David Welter was sworn in Friday evening as the 75th Illinois House representative during a ceremony in the upstairs courtroom at the Grundy County Courthouse.

“I hope to go to Springfield and hope to work with both sides of the aisle while staying true to my values,” Welter, R-Morris, said after the swearing-in ceremony.

While thanking those in attendance, he said he plans to represent the values of the district.

“I’ve seen what the state has done to us as a county, while serving on the county board, with unfunded mandates,” said Welter, who has been chairman of the Grundy County Board since December 2014. “I want to go to Springfield and be the voice of the district.”

Welter was chosen last week as the 75th District’s new state representative to replace John Anthony, R-Joliet, who resigned after accepting a position with the Illinois Department of Corrections.

He submitted his resignation July 12 from his District 1 County Board seat.

After being sworn in by Grundy County Judge Robert Marsaglia, Welter gave a brief speech.

“I want to thank Sue Rezin, who has been a mentor to me,” Welter said, referring to the state senator for the 38th Senate District. “I also want to thank

Representative Anthony for his work in the district.”

Republican Central Committee chairmen from Grundy, Kendall, LaSalle and Will and LaSalle counties chose Welter from the eight candidates who interviewed for the position. Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, R-Westchester, said Welter has the energy and commitment needed in Springfield.

“He is walking away from the highest county position and was a tremendous benefit to the county,” Durkin said.

“This is what we need, I’m very confident and I think he will be a great compliment to Sen. Sue Rezin.”

Welter was accompanied by his wife, Ashley, and his children, Autumn and David Jr. “He’s always been dedicated to our community and very knowledgeable,” his wife said. “I know he is going to make a lot of people proud in this position.”

Rezin also was in attendance to support Welter, who worked with her on her 2012 campaign.

“He has a proven track record on the county board, he cut health care and retirement to board members as well as cut transportation costs for board members in half,” Rezin said. “He’s negotiated multimillion-dollar contracts and proven he is up to the job.”

She said Welter also is a compassionate person who listens to what those in his community need while still being fiscally responsible.

BRACEVILLE – The Grundy County Health Department has recently collected mosquitoes in the Village of Braceville that have tested positive for West Nile virus, the first confirmed detection of West Nile in Grundy County for 2016.

The Grundy County Health Department expects that as the summer continues, increased frequency of positive mosquito pools will be detected, which raises the risk of disease transmission to the public, according to a news release issued by the department.

The health department encourages everyone to take steps to avoid contracting West Nile virus or other mosquito-borne viruses. To minimize risks, follow the Illinois Department of Public Health’s recommended practices of Reduce, Repel and Report.

• Reduce exposure by avoiding the outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn. Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Eliminate sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, including flowerpots, wading pools, old tires and any other receptacles, and change water in bird baths weekly.

• Repel mosquitoes when outdoors by wearing shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. IDPH recommends applying insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535, according to label instructions.

• Report areas of stagnant water in roadside ditches, flooded yards and similar locations that may produce mosquitoes to whomever handles mosquito control activities in your area.

“Mild cases of West Nile infections may cause a slight fever or headache.

More severe infections are marked by a rapid onset of a high fever with head and body aches, disorientation, tremors, convulsions and, in the most severe cases, paralysis or death,” the IDPH’s website notes.

Symptoms typically appear between and three to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito.

For information regarding West Nile, contact the Grundy County Health Department at 815-941-3115 or visit www. idph.state.il.us/envhealth/wnv.htm.

MORRIS – A large crowd came Monday night to the Morris Elementary School District 54 board meeting, mostly to vocalize support for the district’s principal.

Board President Jerald White said he had heard that rumors had been spread via social media and other sources that the board was going to ask Principal Chris Maier to step down from his position due to his association with the June 21 crash that killed Mark and Jan Wendling. Jan was a math teacher at Shabbona Middle School and Mark worked as an engineer at the Exelon LaSalle County Generating Station in Marseilles.

The couple were bicycling on Old Stage Road in Morris when they were struck by a 16-year-old driver of an SUV. The crash report states the vehicle involved in the crash is owned

by Maier. The teenage driver has been issued a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident; authorities have said the investigation into the crash continues and that they are waiting for toxicology results.

“This is a personal matter, not a professional matter for this board,” White said to the audience.

“It is my job as Chris’ superintendent to support him. The last thing I want to do is walk away from Chris Maier,” Superintendent Shannon Dudek added. “I know we need to wrap our arms around Chris at this time.

That’s where we are today.”

The three people who spoke Monday evening all voiced support for Maier. First to stand was Morris resident Stacey Button, who has three children in the district.

“My daughter lost her eighth-grade teacher and she was left to deal with that this summer. Now she is moving schools and that’s traumatic. I have other children who attend White Oak, and I feel that losing our principal will be traumatic for all of our children,” Button said. “There is no reason he

should be asked to step down.”

Morris resident Kyle Carli stated he had children in first grade and kindergarten in the district. He mentioned the crash, but then commented on the character of the principal.

“I feel like Chris has been pulled into this like one of the victims, and I’m here to show support for him from the community,” Carli said. “It would be a travesty for the school to remove an individual who shows character and integrity.”

District librarian Marnie Garcia commended the support shown by teachers and staff toward the situation.

“I am glowing in my seat right now.

I look out and see almost our entire staff and I’m overwhelmed. I am proud to work for this district and I am asking for a standing ovation as a group hug to Chris,” Garcia said, at which point everyone in the audience rose and clapped.

After the public comment, Maier thanked those who came to support him.

“I am overwhelmed by the number of supporters,” he said. “This shows the process of healing for our community and staff. I could not have done it without all of you, so thank you very much.”

Bishop presides over church’s groundbreaking Church in Coal City hosts ground breaking for new addition Saturday

“If we can’t raise enough funds, we’ll have to do a loan. If you build it, they will pray.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

head of the Building and Finance Committee for Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church

Curtis Grove

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Members of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church in Coal City celebrated Saturday evening the groundbreaking on their new, nearly $4 million addition with Bishop Daniel Conlon in attendance.

“They have been trying to raise the money to restore and add onto the church for close to 30 years,” the Rev. Robert Noesen said of the parish. “For the past four years they have seriously worked toward the fundraising goal.

The cornerstone on the church shows it was built in 1892.”

While the church is being renovated and the addition built, the 800 family member church will meet, starting July 30, across the street in Berst Hall for Mass.

Curtis Grove, head of the church’s Building and Finance Committee, said the congregation still needs more than

Bishop Daniel Conlon and the Rev. Robert Noesen are joined by children of the parish in the ground breaking ceremony on Saturday. $800,000 to pay for the building without a loan from the Diocese of Joliet.

“If we can’t raise enough funds, we’ll have to do a loan,” Grove said. “If you build it, they will pray.”

He said the church is moving forward, hoping the new building will also

bring with it new parishioners. Noesen said the church hopes to complete the building projects by Easter 2017.

“It’s construction, so the completion date is not for sure,” he said.

Ralph DeLuca, with DZA and Associates architecture firm working on the

new church, said they have been working on the project for several years.

“The biggest challenge is to get the size and scale proportionate with the existing structure,” DeLuca said.

In a program handed out at the event, Noesen said it is important that the congregation raise as much money as possible prior to the completion.

“While our renovated and expanded church is going to be fully functional and very nice, we will not be able to do many of the decorative enhancements to the building at this time,” he wrote.

“While the financial support has been good, still more is needed to accomplish all the finishing touches we want for our new building.”

Grove said the committee will continue to actively fundraise as the work gets under way starting Aug. 1.

COAL CITY – When Jan Rios packed up her jams and jellies Saturday morning to head out the first Coal City farmers market – Market Fresh on Broadway – she had no idea she would have nothing left to sell in a little more than an hour and a half.

“I’m a little shocked,” she said Saturday morning at Campbell Park in Coal City. “I brought a couple hundred jars.

This is wonderful.”

Rios’ company, Three Sisters Produce, is run from their farm in Elburn, where she and her three daughters work hand-in-hand to produce everything from honey to jam.

A few booths away, members of the Wills family were counting out sweet corn as a line formed down the sidewalk, with people waiting to buy a “baker’s dozen.”

“We are ecstatic at the response from our community,” Village Administrator Matt Fritz said. “We’re happy that the first market has had such a good start.”

The market is hosted by the village of Coal City, and opened at 8 a.m. Saturday to a crowd of residents hoping to buy something fresh for their table.

Organizers said the concept of the

has been challenging with so many markets ongoing.”

She said the group has already lined up more vendors for its Aug. 6 and 20 dates.

Ann Gill, Grundy County board member and an organizer for the event, said the group was surprised at how quickly vendors were selling out of items. Sunshine Garden Center teamed with Hope Helps to grow a variety of vegetables, with proceeds from the sales supporting the autism awareness and support organization.

Even pets had healthy options available at the market from Blackbird’s Bowl Natural Pet Foods and More.

As customers were shopping, a flash mob broke out with dancers climbing to the top of picnic tables and taking over the area in front of the gazebo. The flash mob was courtesy of Broadway Dance Center in Diamond.

Future market dates are Aug. 6 and 20, Sept. 10 and 24, and Oct. 15. Vendors are still being accepted and applications can be found at www.coalcity-il.gov.

Market Fresh on Broadway is sponsored by the village of Coal City, Coal City Park Board, Sunshine Garden Center, The Free Press Newspapers-The Coal City Courant, Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and Three Rivers Association of Realtors.

MORRIS – The Grundy County Coroner and Morris Police are investigating the death of a woman who authorities say took her own life last week in downtown Morris near Liberty and Main streets.

Grundy County Coroner John Callahan said police were dispatched the evening of July 12 to the area where they found a 49-year-old female parked

in the westbound lane of Main Street, according to a news release issued late Tuesday night by the coroner’s office.

He identified her Wednesday afternoon as Shari Lynn Raad of Morris, after next of kin were notified.

“We’re still investigating the situation,” Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said. “The results clearly indicate that she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.”

Callahan said in the news release that the woman had depression and

Community Prayer Walk in Grundy County brings together residents after national violence

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent

• Thursday, July 21, 2016

MORRIS – Less than four hours before members of the community set out on a Sunday afternoon prayer walk for peace, understanding and Christian unity in these recent days of violence across the nation, six police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, were shot, leaving three dead and another three injured – victims of the very concern that prompted the gathering.

“We’re here to come together today,” said Dr. Jennifer Jacobs of Joliet, who attended the event. “There are so many sides right now and so many divisions. We are here to pray for peace, to pray for love.”

The group of about 30 met at the First United Methodist Church, which organized the event, then headed south on Liberty Street to the lawn of the Grundy County Courthouse.

Other stops were made at the Grundy County Sheriff Department, UC Davis-Callahan Funeral Home and Chapin Park.

At each stop, church members and others read scripture and prayed for justice, victims of violence, lawmakers and law enforcement officers. It’s a time when the community can become easily divided, FUMC Pastor Robert Sathuri said as the group gathered in the parking lot of his church. Sathuri is originally from Hyderabad, India.

“I come from a city of 4 million people with many different ethnic groups,” he said. “I think people really need to know that there is evil in this world ... but every human being has the right to live. We, as Christians, are commanded not to kill. Two wrongs don’t make a right.”

Sathuri said there needs to be understanding from all sides of conflicts, and people don’t need to choose sides.

It’s especially important, he said, to seek peace.

“Jesus is very clear,” he said. “ ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ That’s what God says, you know – ‘Vengeance is mine.’

Anarchy is not the answer.”

The common theme throughout the prayer walk was the story of the Good

Samaritan from the Bible, about a man who was robbed, beaten and left by the roadside on the way to Jericho. Several passed him by without helping, until a man from Samaria came to his aid.

In those days, Samaritans and Jews shared a mutual resentment.

“We are all on the same road from Jerusalem to Jericho,” one speaker said at the start of the walk, adding that we should all, “bend down without hesitation and extend our love to our neighbor.”

FUMC Associate Pastor Laura Wilson said the story is appropriate for the recent incidents involving hatred and violence.

“I feel like it’s on people’s minds,” she said, “and I really think people needed a place to come and talk about it. I don’t think the answers are always clear ... but it’s important to try to be there for each other and to understand

“ ... I really think people needed a place to come and talk about it. I don’t think the answers are always clear ... but it’s important to try to be there for each other and to understand each other.”

“We were looking for a way to plug into a community event,” Libby Wheeler said. “I think everyone’s feeling a sense of wanting to do something. It feels like every day, something new pops up in the news. ... You want to be physically present with others who are as disturbed by the things going on as we are.”

FUMC member Becky Thomas, of Mazon, is part of the church’s AWARE Laura Wilson group, which meets monthly to discuss associate pastor, current events.

First United Methodist Church “There’s a lot of anxiety and tension out there right now,” she said. “We wanted to create a safe place where each other.” people could find some hope and cosWilson said people can support both tiveness.”

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent.

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.

Screening really does save lives!

Officer praised

For the second time in as many months, Channahon Police Officer Ed Bischoff was praised by the board for actions he took that saved a life.

In June, Bischoff, along with Officer Mike Yoakum, was recognized by the village board for his quick response in saving the life of a man who was suffering a heroin overdose.

Last week, Bischoff responded to a 911 call made from a local gas station for what was described as a person who had passed out from the heat.

When Bischoff arrived, he found a man who was unresponsive, in the middle of a heart attack.

Police Chief Jeff Wold said during Monday’s meeting that Bischoff quickly performed CPR on the victim and used an automatic external defibrillator three times to restart the man’s heart. The heart attack was officially diagnosed later at a hospital.

“He saved his life,” Wold told trustees.

CHANNAHON – The Channahon Village Board on Monday amended the village’s 2015-16 budget.

One change was that the village used about $300,000 less from its general fund balance reserves than it had anticipated. The change was due to a fiscally conservative original budget, Finance Director Heather Wagonblott told the board.

The Police and Public Works departments also ended the fiscal year under budget, Wagonblott said.

The board also discussed, but did not take action on, a consideration brought by Wagonblott that the village begin investing surpluses in municipal bonds.

Three of the village’s certificates of deposit will mature this month, worth about $1.5 million.

According to Matt Bernardi, a representative from Bernardi Securities, which could manage the bonds should the village decide to pursue the option, investing in AAA-rated and AA-rated, high-grade taxable municipal bonds could bring Channahon $35,000 to $40,000 more than CD investments over a five-year period.

Also at the meeting, the board hired Lauren Carhart as the village’s new accounting clerk at an annual salary of $37,806.

Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher also reminded those present that the Channahon Po-

lice Department’s National Night Out will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. July 27 at the department.

The event will include department tours, a live band, a car show, jump houses, a 50/50 raffle and refreshments.

Also at the event, the Channahon Park District and the Three Rivers Public Library District will show a movie at dusk in Central Park.

Trustee Scott Slocum was absent from Monday’s meeting.

The district and Teamsters Local 179, which also represents drivers and aides for Minooka High School District 111, have been in contract negotiations since last February and they are slated to meet for mediation in August.

The drivers and aides have voted to approve strike authorization amid the negotiations but have not planned to strike yet.

“We are driving the future and we need respect,” Judy Thayer, a District

201 bus driver and union member, said at the meeting. “We need things done by seniority, not favoritism and when we work, we need to be paid up to when the last child is dropped off our bus.”

Superintendent Kris Monn updated board members at Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting on the negotiations, saying that the Teamsters initiated the posting period, which means

by Friday both sides of the table need to post their latest proposal to the Illinois Education Labor Relations Board.

He said by July 29, the district will have to publish its proposal on its website.

“The public will be able to see very shortly at least the last proposal that was made from the board side,” Monn said.

At the regular board meeting, Keli Hollis, District 201 bus driver and union member, told the board she loved her job but the working conditions have made her felt demeaned and marginalized.

“I don’t think it’s correct for anybody who gets up in the morning to go

to work to be dealt with this way,” Hollis said.

She detailed concerns about the safety conditions of the aging bus fleet, as well as bus aides not receiving a raise in seven years.

“Understand that we are as professional as anybody else in this district and I ask that you see us that way. I ask that you see us as part of the team and not just the bothersome bus drivers,” Hollis said, followed by applause.

After the meeting, Monn said the board made an effort earlier this year to lease new buses because they’re aging. He also said that district officials find every one of their employees invaluable to the success of the district.

“Everyone is a key player,” he said.

One bus driver spoke out against the union at the Committee of the Whole meeting. Karen Reigh, a Minooka 201 driver, said during public comment that she and other drivers enjoy their jobs and want to avoid a strike.

“We feel we have the majority and don’t want to be included into a forced dues and secret contracts,” Reigh said.

Public Notice of Draft Permit Public Notice Number LRL:16040401.docx is hereby given by Illinois EPA, Division of Water Pollution Control, Permit Section, 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Post Office Box 19276, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9276 (herein Agency) that a draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Number IL0002224 has been prepared under 40 CFR 124.6(d) for Exelon Generation Company, LLC, 6500 North Dresden Road, Morris, Illinois 60450 for discharge into Illinois and Kankakee Rivers from the Dresden Generating Station, 6500 North Dresden Road, Morris, Illinois 60450, (Grundy County).

The applicant is engaged in operating of a nuclear power station for the generation of electrical power (SIC 4911). The facility consists of 3 boiling water nuclear reactors, Unit 1 which is retired in place and Units 2 and 3 currently in service. The maximum net electrical output for this facility may vary but cannot exceed 2018 megawatts electric. Plant operation results in an average discharge of 4.32 MGD of Unit 1 House Service Water from outfall 001, 472 MGD of Cooling Pond Blowdown from outfall 002, an intermittent discharge of Unit 2/3 Intake Screen Backwash from internal outfall A02, 0.068 MGD of Wastewater Treatment System Effluent from internal outfall B02, 0.073 MGD of Rad Waste Treatment System Effluent from internal outfall C02, 0.0082 MGD of Demineralizer Regenerate Waste and Filter Backwash from internal outfall D02, 0.031 MGD of Sewage Treatment Plant Effluent from outfall 003, 32.316 MGD of Cooling Pond Siphon Discharge from outfall 004, and an intermittent discharge of South East Area Runoff from outfall 005.

The following modification is proposed: Internal outfall A01 was removed from the permit. Outfall 006 was removed from the permit. A new wastestream, Recovery Well Groundwater, was added to outfall 002.

The application, draft permit and other documents are available for inspection and may be copied at the Agency between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. A Fact Sheet containing more detailed information is available at no charge. For further information, call the Public Notice Clerk at 217/782-0610.

Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the draft permit to the Agency at the above address. The NPDES Permit and Joint Public Notice numbers must appear on each comment page. All comments received by the Agency not later than 30 days from the date of this publication shall be considered in making the final decision regarding permit issuance.

Any interested person may submit written request for a public hearing on the draft permit, stating their name and address, the nature of the issues proposed to be raised and the evidence proposed to be presented with regards to these issues in the hearing. Such requests must be received by the Agency not later than 30 days from the date of this publication.

If written comments and/or requests indicate a significant degree of public interest in the draft permit, the permitting authority may, at its discretion, hold a public hearing. Public notice will be given 30 days before any public hearing.

5 Ways to Spot a Lottery Scam SPONSORED BY

According to the FBI, in 2014 consumers lost more than $8 million to solicitation scams promising instant wealth and grand prize earnings. These scams, commonly referred to as the “lottery” or “sweepstake” scams, involve fraudsters issuing counterfeit checks and fake award letters to consumers who have allegedly won a raffle. The consumer, who most likely never entered the alleged drawing, is issued a check worth more than the amount owed and instructed to pay taxes and fees before receiving their lump sum payment. Unfortunately, the check -- in addition to the raffle -- is bogus.

Before you participate in any lottery or sweepstake, Grundy Bank encourages you to keep these tips in mind: • Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the check. Scam artists are using sophisticated technology to create counterfeit checks, money orders or phony cashier’s

checks that mirror the appearance of legitimate checks. The companies name may appear to be real, but someone has dummied up the checks without their knowledge.

• Never ‘pay to play.’ There is no legitimate reason for someone who gives you money to ask you to wire money back or send you more than the exact amount — that’s a red flag that it’s a scam.

• Verify the requestor before you wire or issue a check. It is important to know who you are sending money to before you send it. Just because someone contacted you doesn’t mean they are a trusted source.

• Ensure a check has “cleared” to be most safe. Under federal law, banks must make deposited funds available quickly, but just because you can withdraw the money doesn’t mean the check is good, even if it’s a cashier’s check or money order. Make sure the check has cleared before you spend the money.

MORRIS – Saratoga Community Consolidated School District 60 is set to receive an extra $85,000 in state aid, Superintendent Kathy Perry said, after state lawmakers approved a K-12 school budget for the 2016-17 school year.

“They [state of Illinois] also passed a road construction budget which we were afraid would halt the construction that’s going on around us, and it’s a mess in front of the school with all of the construction,” Perry said during an interview Tuesday.

Perry said this year’s budget did not extend the early retirement portion, so the board during Monday night’s meeting approved, with board President Mark Overbeck and board member John Darlington absent, a memorandum of understanding with the Saratoga Education

Association regarding the change in Teacher Retirement System from 9.4 percent to 9 percent.

The board also approved grant applications for the 2016-17 school year.

A Title I grant application is seeking $75,000 to cover students in need of intervention services, and the Title II grant application for $12,000 would be for reduced class sizes.

“I also use some of the grant money for the professional development of our teachers,” Perry said.

The board also approved an English Language Learners grant application for the 2016-17 school year for $10,000.

The board also approved the fees for facility rentals by nonprofit and for-profit organizations. Small gym and classrooms may be rented for $10 and new gym for $50 an hour for nonprofit organizations, while for-profit organizations may rent the small gym for $50, classrooms for $15 and the new gym for $100 an hour.

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

What are they and which one are we in now?

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

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

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

If you have a question for one of these businesses call 815-942-3221 or mail your question to Expert at the Morris Herald-News 1802 N. Division St., Suite 314, Morris, Il. 60450. All ads are paid advertisements.

Last month there was a 3.0 month supply of homes on the market in our local area. This is down from a 4.3 month supply in June of 2015 and down from a 5.7 month supply in June of 2014. We have moved from a balanced market two years ago to a very strong sellers’ market today! What does this mean? Houses will sell more quickly and often with multiple offers on them. So when you see the home that you like, don’t hesitate to make an offer. Otherwise another buyer may have the home under contract before you act.

are the benefits Q: What to a Medical Pedicure

Q: I have suffered from dry eyes for

years. I’ve tried artificial tears, punctual plugs, and Restasis. Do I have any other options?

in a Medical Foot Spa?

A:

Dr. Paul Bishop, DPM* & Dr. Tom Rappette, DPM*

Medical Pedicures are a sterile way to have beautiful feet without exposing them to foot fungus and other infections found at nail salons where sterile infection control is not followed. Our instruments are sterilized with the same technique used in our surgical procedures. Even our nail polish will not be used from one patient to the next. Our Medical Nail Technician pampers all patients: seniors, high-risk and diabetics, and because this service is not covered by insurance, our medical pedicures are payable with cash, check or charge at an affordable rate.

Come in and enjoy a relaxing Medical Pedicure in one of our offices!

GEDC retention visits to start in the fall In the last two decades, about 60 percent of the private sector’s net new jobs have been created by existing businesses. A strong retention program is the cornerstone of the Grundy Economic Development’s strategy. Beginning this fall, the GEDC and its volunteers will begin an intensive retention program with Grundy County’s businesses. The goal of a retention visit is to gain information from a business or organization and use that information to fine-tune GEDC programs, correct issues, but most of all help them thrive in our community.

Two important programs were a direct result of GEDC retention visits.

During our visits with the energy and chemical producers in the area, they expressed concern about an aging workforce and the lack of future, skilled employees needed to operate their facilities.

VIEWS Nancy Norton Ammer Thanks to leadership from Joliet Junior College, Exelon, LyondellBasell, Aux Sable, state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and others, the Operations Engineering and Technician program was formed. The companies worked closely with JJC to develop a curriculum and also incorporated summer internships into the two-year program. The program has been filled each semester and as employees start to retire, local young people will be qualified to step into these quality jobs.

Born of a similar need to train young people in successful careers, the high school internship program is cele-

brating its fourth successful year. This summer, 15 businesses and organizations are offering 29 paid internships to local high school juniors and seniors.

This program educates our best and brightest young adults about the opportunities in Grundy County and also provides real-life experience as they begin their careers. Local businesses have a chance to establish relationships with a future workforce and showcase their facility.

In addition to workforce development, retention visits have provided valuable information about the future of businesses. GEDC leadership can learn whether a company is growing, struggling or in need of other services from the local community. If a company is considering expansion, the GEDC has a multitude of programs both at a state and local level. For that company that is struggling, GEDC can introduce

them to other potential customers in the community, counsel them with financing or provide other services.

Each visit is unique and so are the challenges. In the past GEDC has assisted with local road issues, utility needs and introductions to community leaders. Although the needs are varied, the goal never changes. The GEDC is here to help businesses grow and thrive in our community.

The retention visits begin this fall.

The GEDC team consists of office staff, an elected official and representative from education. The programs are a great way to better understand the local economy, assist local businesses and show them we care about their success. Let’s get started.

Right off the bat I should say that I think the so-called “stopgap budget” signed into law on June 30 was a good idea. Not fiscally, but because people who rely on state government desperately needed a break from the all-out legislative war between two ideologically entrenched parties.

Gov. Bruce Rauner absolutely refused to budge on negotiating a fully funded state spending plan until the Democrats agreed to some of his anti-union/pro-business agenda. Democrats wouldn’t move off their support for unions. So after more than 12 solid months of stalemate, the two camps finally agreed to a six-month budget for everything but elementary and secondary education funding, which got a full year’s worth of cash.

And even though social service providers and universities only got about half their previous levels of funding going back the last 12 months and forward through December, the stopgap budget money is probably enough to keep both systems from totally collapsing.

It was a reprieve, of sorts – just enough money to keep most of the “budget hostages” alive while the two warring parties retreated back to their corners to fight the upcoming fall campaign.

The stopgap also prevented state government from grinding to a complete halt. Prisons, for instance, couldn’t pay suppliers for everything from water to electricity to food because they haven’t had any official appropriations since the previous June. Without a court order, agencies can’t spend money if they don’t have a legislative appropriation signed by the governor.

Fiscally, however, the stopgap is a monster. Comptroller Leslie Munger, who pays the state’s bills, told reporters last week that come late December the state will still be paying off invoices from June and it’ll have a total bill payment backlog of $10 billion.

The very same day, the respected and bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability projected the stopgap deal has an $8 billion deficit.

You may recall that House Speaker Michael Madigan jammed his own

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller spending plan through his chamber in late May, but several rank-and-file Senate Democrats subsequently revolted and stopped that bill dead in its tracks.

Ever since then, Rauner has been busily traveling the state taking credit for killing Madigan’s bill, always claiming it was disastrously out of balance by about $7 billion.

I Googled “Rauner Democrats ‘$7 billion’” and came up with 36,200 results. He really burned that message in, and for good reason. His political operation claims their polling shows a vote for that $7 billion deficit is darned near political death.

But … wait. Isn’t an almost $8 billion deficit in a budget he signed larger than a $7 billion deficit in a bill he claimed to stop? Why, yes, it is.

“We could be way, way worse off if the super majority’s budget bill had passed,” Rauner said, speaking of Madigan’s proposal. “We’d be spending at an even higher level than we are today.”

Um, huh?

The Republicans are all about pinning that $7 billion deficit tag on the House Democrats. And the House Democrats are gearing up to whack Republicans for proposing a stopgap budget plan in late May that provided far less funding for K-12, higher education, social services and health care than was eventually approved by both chambers in June.

Yep, you read that right. Unless somebody changes their mind, we’re about to witness a big campaign fight over two bills that never became law.

Why won’t the two sides blast each other for putting us in the hole by $8 billion? Because they actually passed that bill and Rauner signed it into law.

Whacking each other for a bill that passed with huge bipartisan majorities just wouldn’t be cricket.

And so we’ll get fairy tales.

s Nationally ranked children’s care is just over an hour away!

Children’s Hospital of Illinois Pediatric Urology, led by Dr. Churphena Reid and Dr. Benjamin Rhee, was ranked 36th nationally by U.S. News & World Report, with highest marks coming for use of infection-preventing measures, best practices, prevention of surgical complications, advanced clinical services, and patient and family services. Children’s Hospital in Peoria has a long standing commitment to excellent care for children.

Morris District 54 – A New Beginning My name is Dr. Shannon Dudek, and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new superintendent of Morris School District 54.

I am the former superintendent of Pleasant Hill School District 69 in Peoria, and I have many experiences in elementary school districts. I was a former junior high language arts and literature teacher, and I have coached many sports in my career. I am tremendously excited and humbled with the opportunity to lead Morris 54.

Since I started to pursue the Morris Superintendent of Schools position, I began to learn and understand many of the school district’s characteristics and needs. One thing that stands out is the incredible support and dedication the community and staff members show the students at District 54.

This support was a major influence in my desire to become your superintendent. I have many experiences

COMMUNITY PULSE Shannon Dudek related to innovative programming, student support, curriculum and instruction, and a wide range of other school improvement initiatives.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with all stakeholders to create the most effective and successful learning environment for our students.

Along with naming a new superintendent, there are other exciting changes happening at Morris 54.

Consolidating Shabbona Middle School and White Oak Elementary is going to be a great opportunity for our students to fully take advantage of all of the opportunities from our staff and support services. All of our students

will be in one location, and we will use the building as it was intended when it was built.

Consolidating both schools into one will come with some challenges, but I’m certain everyone will be supportive whenever it’s time for students to begin their journey for the 2016-17 school year.

Our experiences will come with many challenges and hard work. Currently, the state of Illinois has made it very difficult for school districts to completely fulfill their responsibility to our students and community members.

There has been a continual negligence in Springfield as school districts have lost support from state agencies.

Even though the state has reduced its support to school districts, district personnel and community members still strive to provide the best opportunities for their students.

We will continue to provide every

opportunity available to our students for them to find success. We will be creative, innovative and supportive, and our theme will always be that students come first.

One thing is for certain, the students at Morris 54 deserve the best from their teachers, administrators and community.

I know that we will do our very best for our students. There are unbelievable opportunities for our students in our world, and it is our mission at Morris 54 to prepare our students to be lifelong, successful members of our society.

First Christian Church in Morris hosts annual Priceless Days “Everyone has their own little niche. The volunteers that do the bedding open the sheets and measure them before bundling them and putting tape on them stating what size bed they fit.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – More than 175 volunteers are needed to control the chaos in the days leading up to First Christian Church’s Priceless Day. Diane King, an organizer at the event, said that for two days cars streamed into the church parking lot to be unloaded by volunteers who brought donated items into the church to sort, inspect and prepare for the annual event. All items were provided free to those in need.

“Volunteers get items from the car, they are brought into our intake area where they are sorted into carts and runners, usually children volunteers, take them to the assigned area,” King said Tuesday afternoon as the church prepared for the evening’s event.

Volunteer Shelly Pfaff said that everyone tends to have their own area they take care of each year, which makes the job easier for all involved.

“Everyone has their own little niche,” she said. “The volunteers that do the bedding open the sheets and measure them before bundling them and putting tape on them stating what size bed they fit.”

It’s that attention to detail that makes a big difference, volunteers

King walked through the clothing section and pointed out that not only do the signs on top of each table alert people to what type of clothing is on the table – for example women’s size small – but masking tape affixed to the table in front of every neatly folded stack can tell shoppers whether the items in

that stack are tank tops, shirts, shortsleeve or long-sleeve.

With about 300 people coming through the door in about 15 minutes, making it easier for them to find what they need makes the chaos more controlled. At 1 p.m., three people already were in line for the event – which wasn’t set to open until 5 p.m.

Once in the door opens, shoppers are handed a map of the church to show what items are in each area, as well as a bag to do their shopping.

The shopping area is divided into three rooms and down a long hallway.

Donations include everything from clothes and toys to skis and dishes.

King said that in years past she’s had parents break down in tears as they leave with bags of clothes, explaining they weren’t sure how they would get everything their children needed for the upcoming school year.

All donations are looked over and any items stained or damaged are recycled and not set out. Leftover donations are given to Purple Heart Veterans the day after the event.

COPS cyclists ride to honor fallen officers Know more

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – With the recent deaths of police officers in Dallas, a group of bicyclists set out over the weekend to remind Illinois residents that officers are killed in the line of duty here too.

The Illinois chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors, or COPS, on Saturday led a group of more than 50 cyclists and their support crews through Morris, Minooka and Joliet as they made their way across the state in a four-day journey in support of families of fallen law enforcement officers.

Sadly, the number of families that need that type of support expanded Sunday morning after three Baton Rouge law enforcement officers were killed in a shooting there that left another three wounded. Louisiana’s governor said Sunday afternoon that one of the three wounded was “fighting for his life.”

At the Morris stop at the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 967, those gathered honored Michigan State Police Trooper Chad H. Wolf, who was 38 when he died Aug. 28, 2015, when a vehicle struck him on the road.

His parents, Lyle and Karen Wolf of Hooppole in Illinois, attended the cer-

Her son was also a youth pastor, she said, and was one of the counselors at the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado.

“He never met a stranger,” Karen Wolf said. “He had no enemies. He had people from all over the United States come to his funeral. All of those kids from Columbine came to his funeral.”

The COPS organization helped her and her husband deal with their son’s Paul Bergstrom for Shaw Media death, she said, and she thanked all Ride Committee member and Wheaton Auxiliary Officer Mark Hannan shakes hands with those who participated in this year’s Mary Brindy (left) and Renee Kunkel, who were there to honor their grandson/brother, ride.

Crew member and Pana resident Terry McMillen lost his son, Illinois State Trooper Brian McMillen, in 2007 when his patrol car was involved in an crash with two cars driven by drunken drivers.

McMillen said this was the first year he hasn’t cycled with the event.

He and his wife began the trips the year their son was killed.

“Years ago,” he said, “there was no support group of any kind. ... This bike ride got my wife over the hump.

Ever since then, we’ve been doing the ride. ... It’s a healing process.

“There’s no time frame for healing.”

this year, beginning at the Mississippi River in Alton on Thursday and ending Sunday at the McHenry County Sheriff’s office in Woodstock.

Along the way, several fallen officers whose families live in the state were honored.

The cyclists were escorted by law enforcement agencies along the way.

In Morris, there were vehicles from the Joliet Police Department, Sangamon Sheriff Department, McHenry County Sheriff Department, Granite City Police Department and others.

Three Joliet police officers – Sgt. John Stefanski, Patrick Blatti and Tony Lakota – rode this year. It was Stefanski’s sixth time. He was riding in particular for fallen Joliet police Officer Jonathan Walsh, who died in 2004, and Officer Martin Murrin, who died in 1984.

“Law enforcement officers are taking a good beating lately,” Stefanski said. “These are tragic deaths. They are not natural causes.”

He said he felt for the families of the officers in Dallas who were killed earlier this month.

“I sympathize with them,” he said, “as well as the families of officers who are killed anywhere in the country. It happens because we put ourselves at

Land Use Department to host tire-recycling event If you go

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The department is hosting a tire-recycling event at the Olson’s Recycling Center at 354 W. Jackson St. from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

“We try to do this yearly,” department director Heidi Miller said. “It’s really a great service for everyone. The tires get re-used and it helps keep the roadways clean instead of seeing tires just dumped into the ditches alongside the road.”

The Environmental and Resource Conservation Office of the Land Use Department will host the event through a partnership with Liberty Tire Recycling of Chicago. The event is paid for through the Green Energy Funds received from the Grundy County EDP Renewable Wind Farm Top Crop.

Miller noted that all tires must be off the rim and only passenger truck and automobile tires will be taken. There also is a six-tire limit for each vehicle.

Liberty Tire can recycle tires into a number of items, such as welcome mats, railroad ties, rubberized asphalt and rubber mulch, among other products.

“Ground-up tires can also be used on playgrounds underneath swing sets and jungle gyms or for athletic tracks,” Miller said. “It offers a lot of compaction, which is better on the joints than just asphalt would be.”

Still Stylin’ gets a move and a makeover

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Brandie Odegard of Morris had no plans to open a store despite working many years in retail, but when the opportunity arose to buy Still Stylin’ – a resale and consignment shop in downtown Morris – she took a leap of faith.

“I bought the store for my daughter Skarlette. She’s in her 20s and is on the autism spectrum,” Odegard said.

“Her focus has always been on fashion. She can look at something and tell who designed it.”

When she was contacted by the business’ fourth owner, Caitlyn Cronkite, Odegard thought of how the business could help her daughter, but she didn’t think she had the resources to buy it. She said her husband took out a loan from his limited 401(k) and Cronkite financed the rest of the purchase.

“We couldn’t have done anything without Caitlyn and our wonderful friends who helped get the new store ready to open and get all the merchandise here,” she said.

The store, which has moved to the former Under His Wings store at the corner of Liberty and Benton streets, has gotten a face-lift. The floor was

painted black, and the walls boast several shades of pink thanks to donations of paint from friends.

“Anyone that knows me knows that I love people, I love God and I love Jesus,” she said. “Everything I do has to be God-pleasing. This was possible because of him.”

She said her friends dropped everything to help get the doors open prior to this weekend’s grand opening, because they all love Skarlette.

Odegard said it’s important to give back and she plans to take share a portion of the store’s sales with an organization that helps those on the autism spectrum.

It also will give Skarlette a place to work doing something with the fashion she loves.

“She has a purpose. She has volunteered with me for the past 18 years,” Odegard said of her daughter. “She now has the store.”

According to a news release, Employment Options will assist people with any diagnosed disability attain employment at Grundy County businesses.

“IVI has always provided job placement opportunities for people with developmental disabilities, but we’re looking beyond that description and we are finding that there are people with other diagnosed/documented disabilities that are also needing some assistance finding work inside the community of their choice,” Kandis Cassetto, executive director of IVI, said in the release.

“We think we can help them find jobs and lead more fulfilling lives,” Cassetto said. “We have a local understanding of and connection to employers who are interested in hiring people who want to overcome the daily challenges they face and contribute to society in a meaningful way.”

The program has employers willing to hire individuals, but Rios needs more candidates to fill the job opportunities out there. She hopes the new program will bring in new clients who need a little extra help landing a job.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW

roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, July 21, 2016

MORRIS – Believe it or not, only a little more than a month remains before the Illinois high school football season starts.

The first official day of football practice for the 2016 season is Aug. 8, according to the Illinois High School Association.

With little time left to prepare, the Morris Community High School football team has been going through its paces this summer in conditioning camps and drills and 7-on-7 passing clinics.

Morris football coach Alan Thorson likes his team’s chances of improving on last season’s 4-5 record.

With a solid core of players returning on both sides of the ball, as well as a talented junior class coming up to fill the holes that were left because of graduation, the Redskins appear poised to make a run at a Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference East title as well as a strong run in the Class 5A playoffs. The classification might change by the end of the year, but preseason classifications list Morris as the seventh-smallest school in 5A. Each team has a set number of contact days set forth by the IHSA before practice officially begins, and the Redskins were taking advantage of Tuesday morning’s beautiful weather to run through plays, drills and conditioning while wearing helmets and shoulder pads.

They cannot wear full pads nor have full contact until practice officially starts in August.

Even though they were only in half of their pads, Thorson was able to determine that he likes what he sees.

Most of the starting backfield from last season returns this year, as running backs Michael Feeney, Keagan Sobol and Michael Gerischer all ran for 377 yards or more. They also combined for 13 rushing touchdowns last year behind a line that featured two starting sophomores – Brennan Goff and Nolan Feeney.

With a year’s worth of experience at many key positions and a new offensive coordinator whose history leans toward running the ball, it looks like the Morris offense will be its strength this season.

“We hated to lose a guy like Coach [former offensive coordinator Bill] Lauer, but Greg Larsen has done an outstanding job so far,” Thorson said.

“He knows the system and he knows these players. He had been the head

sophomore coach, so he is familiar with the kids.

Also, he’s a Morris graduate, so he doesn’t have to be reminded how seriously we take football here.

“He has added a few of his own things, but for the most part, it’s going to be a power running game and we like how that looks so far.”

Besides the three running backs, Goff and Feeney return as starters, as does tight end Delaney Stutzki. Nathaniel Halcomb saw a lot of time at receiver last season, and Ricky Del Favero got quite a few snaps under center as the quarterback.

Defensively, Sobol figures to be the anchor at one of the linebacker spots

once again, as he was last year.

Meanwhile, Feeney, who was at linebacker last year, appears to be moving to the defensive backfield, with junior Kameron Dransfeldt stepping into a linebacker spot.

Thorson pointed out that there are

Morris’ Sobol itching to get back on the field

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – One of the most familiar sights throughout Morris’ last football season was the player wearing No. 36 being somewhere near the ball after nearly every play.

As a junior, Keagan Sobol was on the field for most of the game, either at running back or linebacker.

If he wasn’t running the ball on offense, the ball carrier was following him through the hole. If he didn’t make the tackle on defense, he was usually close enough to it to be in the ensuing pile.

So it was quite a surprise Tuesday to see a Morris football practice and not see a No. 36 jersey on the field.

Sobol was there and doing what he could to help, but he is recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered earlier this summer at a camp and says he is about a week away from getting back into full swing.

“I was running a 40-yard dash at a camp,” he said. “I took a big step at the end and it felt like someone shot me in the back of the leg. It wasn’t a

last year and ran for 377 yards and four touchdowns.

He also had nine receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown, and completed a 36-yard touchdown pass. On defense, he had 57 tackles and three sacks.

So far this summer, though, he’s had to be content to watch.

“It’s a little different perspective getting to watch all the guys out there,” he said. “It’s been pretty cool, though. You can really see how guys have improved and how hard they’re working. For most of us, we started thinking about this season since the day after the last game last year. The turnout in the weight room since then has been awesome.

“We know that these two classes are both pretty good and we’ve been Shaw Media file photo waiting to get the two of us together.

“Right now, it looks like there will only be about four that will play a bulk of the time two ways,” he said. “And, even with those guys, we will be able to find ways to get them off the field for a while and give them a rest now and then.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers of those listed. As I perused through the rankings from top to bottom, one in particular caught my eye. No. 25 of the Central Division was Brushy Creek Lake in central Iowa.

I fished this 690-acre impoundment several years ago. I didn’t spend a lot of time on it, but I did catch quality fish without too much effort. I could see from my experience there that the lake held the possibility to earn such an honorable ranking.

The magazine article states that to qualify for the list, the staff spent four months in the research process. They polled state fisheries departments, directors of the local B.A.S.S. Nations, professional anglers, the B.A.S.S. Council and Facebook fans. They also contacted more than a dozen tourna-

ment organizations and researched winning weights, number of limits caught, and other pertinent data.

With all of that taken into consideration, Brushy Creek made the list.

Naturally it was time to hook the boat to the hitch and head west. It just happens that my brother lives less than an hour from the lake, so I assumed he could play host for the weekend.

We arrived on a Friday evening, parked the boat, and readied for the next morning. When the alarm clock announced 5 a.m., we ate and drove north. Tackling a lake on a Saturday morning is not the best way to put the odds in your favor.

I knew there would be boats on top of each other. Central Iowa is not full of water like its neighbor to the north, Minnesota. What good water there is receives plenty of pressure on the weekends. Especially during the summer months.

We launched around 6 a.m. and didn’t even bother to fire up the Mercury outboard. It was trolling

motor down and lines in the water.

Within 10 minutes, Cody landed a spunky one-pounder. I had a couple of bites, and my brother boated a fish. I thought it might be a good day.

Then the clouds vanished and the sun climbed. The conditions changed from reasonable to downright challenging. Additional boats backed down the ramps and flooded the lake with anglers.

A couple of hours later, our party boated a total of seven bass. That number was far from what I was hoping for, but it was better than a blank. As I work on this article for this week, I plan on hitting Brushy Creek one more time before I point the SUV and boat back home.

Who knows? Maybe Day 2 will allows the lake to redeem itself. I hope that Top 100 ranking is everything that it is supposed to be. I’ll let you know.

There are so many good places to fish throughout the country.

Depending on the species you prefer to chase, there are waters that naturally lend themselves to one type of fishing over another, but the fact remains the same. Some lakes and rivers are the stuff of legend. I have been fortunate enough to fish many of the best, but a day on the water doesn’t always pan out.

Bassmaster magazine just released the 2016 list of the best 100 bass lakes in the United States. This year they broke the country up into regions and listed the top 25 for each one. They then took the top from each region and generated the Top 10 best.

They state in the magazine that anglers may not travel to lakes listed on a nationwide ranking system.

They will, however, be more likely to chase down top lakes within their own region. A drive of a few hours is more appealing than trekking clear across the country.

I wholeheartedly agree with many

Only 1 more bottle of beer on the wall?

By LINDA BASSETT • More Content Now Beer is something that shows up in my house in the summertime. It seems to go with hot weather and cooking over fire. Whether painting the front stairs or cooking on the grill, at the end of the day I will find one straggler, that last beer, left unopened under the melting ice. I tuck it onto the bottom shelf in my refrigerator. (Everyone knows that you can’t store chilled beers in a warm place for later.)

Needless to say, weeks later, I find a collection of orphan beers in my fridge. I can save them up until I have enough to serve up a “mixed grill” of beers in a bucket of ice at the next cookout.

Fun, but they do take up a lot of space in the “high-rent” district of the fridge. (This happens in reverse in winter, when I often buy a six-pack for the one bottle to make Welsh Rarebit and end up with five extra beers.)

This summer, I’m using up the abandoned bottles and cans left behind in recipes.

Braising sausages with beer in a slow cooker. Spicing up bottled or homemade barbecue sauce for barbecued flank steak or brisket. Flavoring a stockpot full of short ribs in a leftover stout.

I will try light or dark beer in bread and muffin recipes and use it to lighten a batter for fried shrimp. It will take a little thought to match the beer to the recipe. A baked bean recipe will benefit from dark beer or stout.

Fried onion rings will need a light golden beer or pale ale.

In any case, I will have more space to store that St. Louis rack of ribs until I heat up the grill.

The beer here lightens the batter, making a lighter muffin. These are great for a late-morning brunch, spread with a ginger-flavored cream cheese that you whisk together yourself from whipped cream cheese and ground ginger. ½ cup rye flour ½ cup whole what flour ½ cup cornmeal 1-½ teaspoons baking soda ¾ teaspoon salt 1 cup buttermilk 1⁄3 cup dark brown sugar 1⁄3 cup molasses 1⁄3 cup stout 1 egg 1 cup dark or golden raisins

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Grease 12 muffin cups.

2. Whisk together the flours, cornmeal, baking soda and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, brown sugar, molasses, beer and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry (flour) mixture. Add raisins and stir until just combined. Do not overmix or the muffins will be tough.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the centers: when done, it will come out dry.

3 large onions, peeled and trimmed 1 cup all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 cup beer Vegetable or canola oil for frying

1. Preheat oven to 425F. 2. Slice the onions crosswise into ½-inch thick slices. Pull the slices apart into rings, reserving any broken pieces for later use.

3. In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt and pepper. Stir in the beer, beating until no longer foamy.

4. Toss the onion rings in the batter. Immediately transfer them to a plate, shaking lightly so that any excess batter drips off.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large stick-free skillet on medium-high heat. Transfer the onion rings into the skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches until lightly golden, about 1-½ minutes per side. Transfer the onion rings to baking sheets, in a single layer. Set in heated oven for about 5 minutes, until crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Serve hot.

THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory No one likes to be caught in the middle of an argument ... which is even more the case when Sheldon and Leonard (Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki) are the two people fighting, as in “The Viewing Party Combustion.” Neither of them lets anything go easily, and the other members of the group are wary of choosing a side in the battle. Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch also star.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge The freshman round of the competition has come down to this — the season finale indicated by the title “Spartan Season One Championship.” The most difficult course the contenders have faced yet awaits them, and the rewards will be great for the team members who finish successfully first ... in the form of $250,000 and the championship title. Their greatest immediate reward, though, may be the shower they’ll most definitely need after tackling the elements here.

7 p.m. on _ WLS BattleBots Vernon Davis, who was a member of the Denver Broncos when they won Super Bowl 50, is a guest judge for the new episode “Shake, Battle, and Roll: The Round of 32 Part 2,” as the 32 teams still in the competition put their robots up to do the indicated battling. The heat is on the judges, who also include Fon Davis and Jessica Chobot, since they have to determine a winner if there’s no knockout in one of the three-minute bouts. Samantha Ponder is the host.

7 p.m. on + WTTW; 9 p.m. on ^ WBBM % WMAQ _ Republican National Convention The culminating moment of the event arrives as the party’s candidate for the presidency accepts the nomination in Cleveland, in the last evening of the fourday gathering. Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff anchor coverage for PBS, and other networks — both broadcast and cable — also will be on hand for the nominee’s acceptance speech. Correspondents and analysts surely will have much to weigh in on, given the many aspects that have made this a very unique campaign.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones A serial killer known as the Puppeteer continues to plague the team in “The Nightmare in the Nightmare,” the new episode that closes the show’s 11th and nextto-last season. Brennan (Emily Deschanel) regrets not having caught the felon, who retains his victims’ bodies for a while

UP TO

The season finale of “Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge” airs Thursday on NBC. after committing the murders — and she could end up with a very personal reason for that remorse. Ryan O’Neal reprises his guest role as Brennan’s father. David Boreanaz also stars.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM Life in Pieces Though he’s been in more of a dramatic mode lately on such shows as “Heroes Reborn,” Greg Grunberg made his name in offbeat humor, and he displays that again in “Soccer Gigi TV Mikey.” He guest-stars as the Mikey of the title, Joan’s (Dianne Wiest) visiting, generally disliked nephew. Greg and Jen (Colin Hanks, Zoe Lister-Jones) tackle their trouble with sleeping. The late Ann Morgan Guilbert (“The Nanny”) made one of her last acting appearances here.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Greatest Hits If you were around then, exactly where were you in the early ’90s? The tunes performed in this new episode — in most cases, by the original artists — probably will help jog your memory, since the focus is on the years 1990 to 1995. Hosts Arsenio Hall and Kelsea Ballerini introduce the acts, encompassing solo artists as well as some of the most popular groups of that decade.

8 p.m. on ) WGN Beauty and the Beast AnnaLynne McCord (“90210,” “Dallas”) is having an active summer as a series guest star, proven by appearances on “The Night Shift” as well as her role here in the new episode “Love Is a Battlefield.” She plays a mystery woman who works with Vincent (Jay Ryan) on an undercover operation — and is discovered to be a hired killer, making Cat (Kristin Kreuk) frantic to contact Vincent. Austin Basis, Nina Lisandrello and Nicole Gale Anderson also star.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free Four contestants remain in the new episode “Team Teardown,” so the pressure is that much more intense for them — forcing decisions on whether they should col-

9 p.m. on + WTTW The Great British Baking Show Separate challenges to make dishes without sugar, gluten or dairy products inform the new episode “Alternative Ingredients,” which starts with the remaining contestants having to bake cakes that don’t contain sugar — nor flour. Then, the preparation of pitas without gluten is a substantial task. Finally, the creation of ice cream rolls that lack dairy elements involves a coconut-milk base and decidedly tropical tastes in the Showstopper round.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Angel From Hell The comedy’s final episodes play out in the two halves of a story titled “Believe Me.” Amy and Allison have a very detailed chat about guardian angels — on Marv’s (Kevin Pollak) answering machine, which they try to get to before he can listen.

FRIDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Big Brother As its fans are well aware, it’s never really over until it’s over on this show — and a new, rare Friday edition confirms that even more by announcing the winner of this season’s “Battle Back” contest, which has enabled the first five evicted houseguests to compete to be the one to get back into the game. That person will rejoin the others in the ongoing bid to be the last player and win the $500,000 grand prize.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank The Sharks could end up literally feeling better as a Las Vegas woman pitches a remedy for back pain and California relatives, alias the “Ice Siblings,” propose an inflammation reducer in this episode.

Also from California — Emeryville, specifically — is a mechanical engineer with the bicycle lock of tomorrow, and an Arizona woman likens her gourmet tea shots to espresso. Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec are among the Sharks.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Rosewood A case has a particularly personal impact on Rosewood (Morris Chestnut) in “Dead Drops & Disentanglement,” as the probe of a man’s death reveals he had medical issues similar to those of Rosewood himself.

The investigation also comes to involve Hornstock’s (Domenick Lombardozzi) estranged daughter (guest star Amanda Leighton). Adding to Rosewood’s worries is Donna and Erica’s (Lorraine Toussaint, guest star Joy Bryant) debate over him.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos”) is back as Odell Martin, a pal of McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin), who needs his help in defending a murder-accused police informant in “Ka Pohaku Kihi Pa’a” (Hawaiian for “The Solid Cornerstone”) Musician Ziggy Marley, son of reggae legend Bob, and Will Yun Lee (“True Blood”) also guest star.

Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park also star.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Blue Bloods Several people appear to have wanted a murder victim dead, as Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) finds when he interrogates some of the deceased man’s female employees, in “The Road to Hell.” Frank and his priest (Tom Selleck, guest star Jack McGee) have differing ideas about dealing with a young thief. Nicky (Sami Gayle) is in the wrong place at the wrong time when police find her in the vicinity of drugs — which expectedly doesn’t please Erin (Bridget Moynahan).

Jenna-Louise Coleman, Anthony Head and Tom Hughes also star.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Last Man Standing Patricia Richardson, formerly Tim Allen’s “wife” on “Home Improvement,” reunites with him in “Tanks for the Memories.” Mike (Allen) wants the woman’s late husband’s collection of miniature tanks — and when he learns she’s sold it to a Gulf War veteran (guest star Robin Roberts, “Good Morning America”), he takes measures to make it his anyway. Kristin and Ed (Amanda Fuller, Hector Elizondo) are dismayed by a restaurant critic’s review.

7:31 p.m. on _ WLS Dr. Ken Ken finds himself in a tough spot in “Kevin O Connell,” with the title referring to the guest character played by Will Yun Lee (“True Blood”) — Allison’s (Suzy Nakamura) ex-boyfriend, who’s also a doctor now, When Ken is invited to speak at an event honoring the fellow, the appearance turns into something else. To fulfill a school assignment, Molly (Krista Marie Yu) tries to decide what she wants to be when she gets older. Dave Foley also stars.

10 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free Who in his or her right mind would turn down a new home, absolutely free? That’s a lot of incentive, so there’s a lot on the line as well as the remaining contestants continue their quest to win a dream home for their personal heroes. Co-hosts Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow are there to guide the competitors, but some of them still miss the mark in “Holmes on the Range.”

Because of the time of year in which it’s set, some people have debated whether “Die Hard” is a holiday movie — and fuel is likely to be added to that fire by “Yippee Kayak.” Jake, Charles and Gina (Andy Samberg, Joe Lo Truglio, Chelsea Peretti) find themselves in a Christmas Eve situation similar to the one that was faced

by Bruce Willis’ character. Upon finding out about their plight, Terry (Terry Crews) goes to the rescue.

SUNDAY

6 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons Twin sisters Selma and Patty (both voiced

by Julie Kavner) receive shocking information about their father’s death, prompting them both to give up smoking, in “Puffless.” It turns out to be only lip service on Selma’s part, though, since she continues to light up ... and Patty is so upset about it, she seeks shelter with Marge and Homer (voices of Kavner and Dan Castellaneta).

Famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma voices his animated likeness. Another episode airs an hour later.

Jane Lynch is the host. The house band is Dean Butterworth and the Scorekeepers.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Celebrity Family Feud Sometimes, the pairings of teams on this show can seem somewhat random — and so it is with this new episode, with a first round that pits the Band Perry of countrymusic fame against television personality Giuliana Rancic. They each bring along some of their relatives to make educated guesses at what a “survey says.” The second game is an unusual match-up, too, with Melissa Joan Hart against “GoodFellas” veteran Paul Sorvino.
