Heidi Litchfield Being a reporter has its advantages.

I’ve been a passenger in a glider, a hot-air balloon, and a bright green John Deere tractor.

It’s also allowed me to meet people from all walks of life: those who help others, those who feed others, and those who need help. All are equally important in my eyes, and all teach me a little more about life.

Last summer I found myself calling Mazon farmer Tammy Halterman for a story. Soon the conversation turned to sweet corn, and a field she thought she wouldn’t have time to pick.

Feeling inspired, and never shy, I asked her if I picked it, could I do what I wanted with the corn – to which she replied “sure.”

That corn fed residents throughout Grundy County and was the seed that started Grundy Resource Organization NFP Inc., or GRO.

By October, we had taken in more corn from more farmers, distributed it on the cob and froze 180 quarts off the cob to be handed out over the winter.

I recalled how in many agriculture stories I’ve written, I have referenced the prime farmland that fills Grundy County and feeds the world. I asked myself, how hard could it be to feed those in need in the county?

I started talking to people and soon Jay Fillman, a Grundy County farmer, offered the use of about two acres of his land near Gardner so we could try to grow produce to fit the need.

By spring it was time to plant and we had no idea where to turn to fill a field that size.

Tom Tesdal, president of First Midwest Bank, offered to buy the plants we needed and Granby’s Greenhouse in Mazon offered to sell us plants at a large wholesale discount to help us meet our goal.

In May, GRO became a nonprofit and board members Brent Newman, Tammy Halterman and myself were ready to grow

A RETURN TO THE FAMILIAR Week signals time to go back to class for Morris-area students

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Tuesday marked the first day of class for students attending Morris Community High School for the 2016-17 academic year.

Like most first days of school, students roamed the halls gripping their new class schedules as they tried to find their homeroom.

Student Body President Keagan Sobol said he’s excited to be back to school, but admits it will take some adjustment from his summer schedule.

“I’m really excited to be back, we have a great senior class, and we’re real energetic,” Sobol said. “I’m not used to the eating schedule, though.

Going from breakfast to lunch time in the summer, I have four snacks in between.”

Other area districts were set to head back to class this week, too.

Minooka 111 started Monday, while Nettle Creek also started Tuesday. Channahon District 17, Coal City District 1, Minooka 201, Morris 54, Saratoga and Wilmington started Wednesday, while Mazon-Verona-Kinsman starts Friday and Newark schools are set to start Monday.

Like many of the students at Morris High, Sobol is just as excited about getting back to Friday night football games.

Sophomore Tierra Westbrook was a little more nervous than some of the other students: It was her first day in the halls of Morris Community High School.

“It’s a little bit scary,” said Westbrook, who transferred in from the much larger Thornton High School.

“I am looking forward to making friends.”

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Students sit in their homeroom Tuesday morning as the school year starts at Morris Community High School.

Her mother, NaTasha Bass, who was in the office making sure the school had all the paperwork it needed, said she’s happy that her daughter is starting at a new school.

“She’s a very shy person,” Bass said. “I’m happy for her, and now I need to work on getting her adapted to the new school.”

MCHS Principal Kelly Hussey said he’s looking forward to this school year and is happy to have students back in the building.

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

“The start of the school year brings energy and excitement,” he said.

He said the building is ready for the students after maintenance staff spent the summer cleaning and fixing things on campus. Even the curtains in the theater were taken down this summer and sent to be fireproofed.

Hussey said the highlight of the summer work for him was the addition of the academic awards tro-

phy case, which was installed in the main hallway right outside his office. The trophy case was donated from different student groups with very little money from the district, he said.

Academically speaking, the district is shifting with the state to adopt the SAT and the Next Generation Science Test and away from PARCC testing, Hussey said.

Donkey baseball game to benefit food pantry

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Have you ever wanted to play donkey baseball? Or, having now read that question, do you wonder what donkey baseball is?

It’s pretty much like it sounds – baseball played by people riding on the backs of donkeys.

The Prairie State Women’s Club of Coal City is holding a donkey baseball game Aug. 28 at Coal City Lions Park to raise funds for the local food pantry.

“It’s just like it sounds,” Prairie State Women’s Club spokeswoman Julie Reeves said. “You hit the ball, then jump on the back of a donkey to run the bases. Or, at least hope the donkey runs the bases. They’re donkeys, and they don’t do much of what they don’t want to do.

“All the fielders are on donkeys, too. If the ball is on the ground, the

rider has to jump off to get it, but he or she has to remain in contact with the donkey at all times, either holding onto the donkey or the reins.”

The Prairie State Women’s Club held a donkey baseball game last year, as well.

That one went over so well that members decided to do it again this year. Donkeys named Elvis and Super Stupid will return from last year and are bringing friends as well.

The donkeys are rented from

Buckeye Donkey, and the club is looking for four more riders.

The cost of being a rider is $20, for which the rider will be able to participate in the game as well as receive a lime green and bright orange T-shirt. Admission to the game will be $8.

“We already have a lot of paramedics, EMTs and firefighters that have signed up to ride,” Reeves said.

“Anyone older than 16 can be a rider, but if they are between 16 and 18, they have to have their parents sign a waiver in order to ride the donkey. When we get enough riders to sign up, we will divide them up into teams.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun. We did it last year and it was hysterical.

It’s a clean, family fun that you can bring your kids to. Afterward, the kids can come out and pet the donkeys and feed them carrots.”

‘AN IDEAL LOCATION’

Randall Fletcher, vice president of Academic Affairs at Joliet Junior College, on Aug. 11 tours of the several elementary classrooms that will be converted into college classrooms at Shabbona Middle School in Morris.

JJC plans to grow educational opportunities at Morris center

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College is sharing space with two other occupants at the former Shabbona Middle School in Morris – and is looking to expand to offer more educational opportunities in Grundy County.

Caroline Portlock, JJC’s Workforce Development director, looked last week at a map of the building, more than 5,000 square feet of which is occupied by the college’s Morris Education Center. JJC will share the space with Morris District 54 and the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative.

While the center is currently in one wing of the building, there’s room for expansion into other classrooms, science labs and other areas. JJC officials hope with a new location they can grow the enrollment from 300 to 600 students in the Morris area.

“This is all opportunity to grow,” Portlock said.

Shabbona is no longer being used as a middle school by District 54, as the school board decided to have all students in grades pre-K through eighth grade in one building, White Oak, starting with the 2016-17 academic year.

When the board made the decision in March, it noted that the district had a $2.4 million deficit budget and the move into one building would save at least $400,000 annually. District officials also noted the projected savings would not eliminate any certified teachers.

Shabbona has instead become the new home for the Morris Education Center since the JJC Board of Trustees approved a new lease in June. The center offers general education, business and computer courses, along with

a resource area for job seekers. JJC Trustee Michael O’Connell has said in the past the former location of the center cost the college about $90,000 a year, while the new place will be $36,000 at the most.

Portlock was one of the supporters of the new location, saying it would offer more space, as well as enhance the college’s image and partnership opportunities.

She was at the center Aug. 11 with other staff members putting rooms together.

“We’re thrilled with the opportunity this has given us,” Portlock said.

A feature of Shabbona that Portlock liked is that, unlike the old location along Route 47 in Morris, the classrooms have windows.

Support

The previous spot at 1715 N. Division St. was what Portlock described as an old storefront.It had three classrooms, a computer lab and offered English as a Second Language and General Education Development programs.

The location at Shabbona Middle School will allow JJC to double its classroom and computer lab space.

The partnership opportunities with Morris Education Center are evident with where the center is located.

The center is less than a mile from the Grundy Area Vocational Center and Morris Community High School.

“This is an ideal location,” said Randall Fletcher, JJC academic affairs vice president.

Fletcher will be leading the effort to bring more students to the Morris Ed-

ucation Center and expand its course offerings. He said the larger space will allow for more general education courses, but eventually JJC would like to offer certificate programs.

Another opportunity the center could offer is offering high school students dual enrollment, he said. They could take courses and get a head start on college, he said.

“It definitely would be an untapped need in the area,” he said.

The new location gives JJC officials the higher education environment they’ve been longing for, he said. Now the college has to continue to market it to students and continue asking residents what they want in their education, he said.

“It’ll take time,” he said.

City of Morris awards construction bids

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris City Council approved, 6-1, on Monday to award a contract to Narvick Brothers for the Goold Park Band Shelter Foundation and Tennis Court Improvement project at a cost of $134,178.85.

The decision came after a lengthy discussion, and Alderman Don Matteson voted against it. Alderman Randy Larson addressed concerns with spending money to replace the Goold Park tennis courts located in the upper level of Goold Park.

His concerns were that the courts

are seldom used due to the public having access to the courts at Morris Community High School.

Mayor Richard Kopczick said he’s been asked recently by about six people when the courts would be fixed, and said he believes the only reason they aren’t being used is their current unusable condition.

“A lot used them until they became in disarray,” Alderman Julian Houston said. “I have had people in Hatcher Woods tell me they would use it if the courts were fixed.”

Larson also questioned, along with Matteson, the placement of the band shelter in the lower area of Goold Park,

stating there wasn’t adequate parking or bathroom facilities for those who may attend concerts in the park. He also questioned the noise level.

“I thought we weren’t doing the band shelter due to the noise level,” Larson said.

Kopczick said studies done by the city determined it was the best location for the shelter and that noise levels would not be an issue.

“It’s not like we’re holding Woodstock there,” Kopczick said. “As for the parking, the last time I was at a concert I didn’t park next to the stage, and I’ve been to a lot of concerts.”

Narvick Brothers Lumber Company

was the low bidder, with Frank Burla & Sons Builders bidding the job at $162,828.20. The city budgeted $250,000 for the band shell and tennis court project, which will be paid with TIF funds.

The board also unanimously approved a bid to Narvick Brothers Lumber Company in the amount of $67,500 for the Chapin Park restroom replacement project. Narvick Brothers was the low bidder.

GLI Services was awarded the contract for Deer Ridge Park playground equipment at the cost of $22,500. Precision Excavating was awarded the contract for the Deer Ridge Park aggregate path at the cost of $17,206.56.

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said he is speaking to residents of the First Ward to determine who will be the best choice for the vacant alderman position. Morris Alderman Don Hansen submitted his resignation to Kopczick on June 10 after being appointed to the

Grundy County board to fill a vacant seat left by David Welter, who was appointed as state representative of the 75th District after John Anthony left to take a job with the Illinois Department of Corrections.

“I have 60 days from the time he resigned to fill the position, although I’d like to fill it sooner,” Kopczick said. “I am looking at a couple of options, including speaking with residents who have called

me with interest in the seat.”

Hansen, a Grundy Republican, was chosen for the county board seat due to being the only Republican on the ballot for his district that isn’t already seated on the board. His term on Morris City Council would have expired May 1, 2017.

“Since the term ends on May 1, it’s a short appointment,” Kopczick said. “I don’t want to wait the entire 60 days to

fill it, but I want to also give people the opportunity to consider if they want the position.”

In other business, the council recognized Bryanna Enerson, 7, of Morris for lifesaving actions for her call to 911 in an attempt to get help for her mother, Angel Enerson. Morris Police Chief Brent Dite presented her with a letter of commendation Life Saving Award.

Morris Elementary School District 54 superintendent

Morris D-54 board talks budget, roof projects

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent

a budget. I looked at previous years and based my numbers on state, county and local trend data,” Dudek said.

The budget was put on display and should be considered for adoption at the Sept. 19 board meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. at the old Shabbona Middle School building.

The board also made a decision on the roof and parking lot tasks that have been undecided for the past few months. The board approved the roof repair by Adler Roofing, which will cost $365,000. The board decided to have the roof sealed instead of replaced, which would have cost the district $1.8 million.

“If we repair the roof, it will give us a 15-year warranty, and save the district $1.4 million. We will start the project in the fall so we can have it

finished by winter. Adler knows the work has to be the least distracting as possible and they need to protect the kids and property when using materials,” Dudek said.

The board voted to postpone the parking lot project in order to investigate materials, grounds and soils.

Dudek also wanted parents to know that the board approved working with the Morris Police Department to increase crossing guard coverage due to the higher volume of students now at White Oak Elementary.

“We will have 1,200 children at White Oak, so we want to provide as much safety as we can for those kids who walk to school. We have partnered the cost with the Morris Police Department for three additional guards,” Dudek said.

Help Your Child Succeed At Joliet Junior College, you can help your son or daughter ‘find their calling’ – without breaking the bank or opting for large student loans.

By attending JJC for their first two years instead of a four-year institution, you’ll both save between $16,000 - $52,000!

MORRIS – The 2016-17 proposed budget was discussed and a hearing date set at Monday’s meeting of the Morris Elementary District 54 School, held at White Oak Elementary.

In a phone interview Tuesday, Superintendent Shannon Dudek said the key part of the meeting was to address what he has projected as the budget for this school year. However, without his knowledge of state funds, these numbers were approximate.

“I am very aware and on top of the money the district has spent and will spend, and at this point we are not aware of what the state funds will bring in the way of levies or state aid,” Dudek said.

Dudek highlighted key points of the budget and said he projected $11.7 million in revenue in the operating fund, with $12.6 million in expenditures. In the education fund, he projected $8.3 million in revenue and $8.8 million in expenditures, so about a $500,000 deficit.

“There was an increase to be expected in the education fund, but about 90 percent of that comes from teachers salaries and benefits, so there will be an increase in expenditures in areas,” Dudek said.

He commented that he was unsure of the state reimbursement in the transportation fund, but he expects $500,000 in revenue and $700,000 in expenditures, so again, a deficit.

“I had to come into the district and learn the background so I could build

district, which was why the actual number was higher.

“Our first distribution of this was received in early August, which is multiplied over 22 payments. The state aid always comes on time like clockwork two times a month from August until June,” Monn said.

In operating funds, Monn gave a projected number of about $36 million in revenue against projected expenditures of about $37.1 million, leaving a deficit of about $1.15 million.

In non-operating funds, which include the debt service fund, capital projects fund and life safety fund, Monn projected a balanced budget of about $6.7 million.

Monn said for the total budget, with operating and non-operating funds, the projected revenue total is about $42.6 million against projected expenditures of about $43.8 million, leaving about a $1.13 million deficit.

A budget hearing was approved by the board and set for the board meeting at 7 p.m. Sept. 19 in the district office boardroom.

Tooth restoration is one of the main reasons you visit your dentist, and the dentist has many options for giving you back your smile, your oral health and your freedom to eat all those goodies.

Most common are fillings, dentures and bridges. But the one that is steadily gaining in popularity with both dentists and patients is the implant.

The American Dental Association calls it “one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years.”

The filling, bridge and denture each has the potential for failure, each has a limited lifespan, and none does a “complete” job of replacing a missing or badly damaged tooth.

But the implant “can function normally” like a natural tooth, says Dr. Eric Salud, lead dentist at Complete Comfort Dental in Channahon. “It’s an investment, and once it’s in, you’ll probably have it for the

rest of your life.”

An implant is a small post made of titanium which is surgically inserted into the jawbone socket of a missing tooth. Over a period of several months the bone grows around the post, securing it in place. A metal post is then screwed into the implant to anchor a crown, which will be shaped, sized and colored to match your natural teeth.

Permanence and appearance are only two advantages to an implant. It doesn’t loosen, slide or have to be taken out like dentures. Other teeth do not have to be reduced in size, as with mounting a bridge.

Another popular advantage, Dt. Salud said, “is that you can eat anything you want.”

Not everyone is a candidate for an implant. Good general health, good oral hygiene and adequate bone matter are among the requirements.

Dr. Salud, who performs the entire procedure including the surgery, can determine who is eligible.

MINOOKA – Another academic year has begun, and the Minooka School District 201 board met Monday in the Minooka Primary Center gymnasium in case of increased attendance due to ongoing bus driver and aide negotiation disputes.

Teamsters Local 179 filed notices of intent to strike to District 111 and District 201 two weeks ago, citing difficulties over the first contract negotiations between the districts and their bus drivers and aides.

About 30 drivers and aides from the district attended Monday night’s District 201 meeting, but Bus 84 aide Cindy Druml was the only one to give public comment.

Druml, who is pro-union, said she has been an aide for two years and when she was assigned to Bus 84, she noticed problems with the vehicle.

She alleged those issues were only addressed in November, when the union was voted into action. She ques-

tioned the board about contracts and The board opened to more comments, and then resumed the meeting bus safety.

“The drivers and aides only want according to the agenda.

The main part a safe environment of the night went for the children to discussing the and to cut down as proposed budget Sumuch as possible perintendent Kris the jeopardy they Monn displayed to are in while being transported,” the board.

Druml said. “We He hit highlights are not ungrateful of what main differences were from employees as you 2015-16 to 2016-17, have called us; we with confidence of simply cannot understand why this an increase in general aid funds from board would spend the state. tens of thousands General state of dollars of taxpayers’ money stalling aid increased to negotiations to get $9.3 million up from Cindy Druml, the union out.” $8.7 million projectDruml used her Bus 84 aide for Minooka School District 201 ed, and $6.7 million received by the five minutes of time to elaborate and when finished district last year. Monn said he used there seemed to be support from the numbers from January to create his other drivers and aides in attendance projection, but documents changed and showed 100 more students in the via applause.

Channahon will not pay for aerator for resident JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – Channahon will not pay to purchase and place a water aerator in the pond of a resident’s backyard, Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher told the homeowner Monday.

Steve Sobczak came before the village board Monday for the second time this month asking for the aerator.

His pond, behind his house at 26500 S. McKinley Woods Road, used to have the device, he said, which kept the water oxygenated and healthy. Sobczak said a previous owner told him that he removed the aerator to save on his electric bill.

But without it, the water quality suffers. On Aug. 1, Sobczak made his first plea to trustees.

“It becomes a cesspool when it sits stagnant,” Sobczak told the board.

“The water running off into the pond is untreated. Most days, the pond has a sheen to it. Yesterday, there were detergent-type bubbles.”

Sobczak said that although he owns the property, the village should be responsible for maintaining the quality of the pond, as discharge from the neighborhood flows into it.

Several runoff pipes drain into the water, he said, and the overflow helps keep nearby homes from flooding during rains. Since his pond helps other homeowners and the village, Sobczak said, the village should maintain it.

When Sobczak returned to the board this week, he began his request with, “I want my aerator.”

“You have every right to install an aerator, sir,” Moorman Schumacher replied. “It is not appropriate to use tax dollars to attend to your private property.”

“It becomes a cesspool when it sits stagnant. The water running off into the pond is untreated.

Most days, the pond has a sheen to it. Yesterday, there were detergent-type bubbles.”

Steve Sobczak

Channahon resident Sobczak retorted that he didn’t think it was right that the village could “just dump, dump, dump,” without financing water treatment.

Channahon Community Development Director Mike Petrick said he had researched the history of the property and found it had been part of a homeowners association that had since gone defunct.

After dissolution of the HOA, Petrick said the village communicated to the former association’s residents that they would be responsible for maintaining their own properties, including ponds.

Moorman Schumacher told Sobczak that if he wanted an aerator, he would have to buy and maintain it himself.

Also at this week’s Channahon village board meeting, trustees: • Learned that the village has retained its Aa2 rating from Moody’s Investors Service, which Channahon Finance Director Heather Wagonblott said demonstrates a strong credit worthiness.

• Approved providing $2,548 in annual funding to the Lower DuPage River Watershed Coalition.

• Approved awarding a $43,609 crack-filling project to SKC Construction, the lowest responsible bidder.

Three Rivers Festival welcomes those with special needs

“I think it enhances his ability to deal with life. I see the smiles on his face when he gets off a ride.

I wish more people could be happy like that.”

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – A year ago, Angie Cruz’s son Donovan was hesitant to go on the carnival rides at Three Rivers Festival’s Special Needs Day. This year was a different story.

“He’s into everything this year,” Cruz said of her son, who has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and sensory processing disorder.

“I appreciate my aunt and uncle bringing us out for this,” said Cruz, who lives in Berwyn. “We don’t have anything like this in the city.”

Special Needs Day, held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 10, kicked off Channahon’s Three Rivers Festival at Central Park at Route 6 and West Bluff Road. The five-day festival went through Sunday.

Fantasy Amusement Co., based in Arlington Heights, opens the carnival to those with special needs and their families free of charge for Special Needs Day, before the public gains access Wednesday evening.

Channahon has one of the largest gatherings out of the company’s regional circuit, said Rick Stanley, who said the company holds similar events for those with special needs at other festivals.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold, we’re here for people with special needs,” Stanley said as Channahon firefighters passed out icecold water bottles to attendees in the 90-plus-degree heat. “It’s a time for them to enjoy themselves, at no cost.”

Unlike large amusement parks, Special Needs Day provides an affordable, inclusive environment for people with special needs, Stanley said.

About 80 percent of the rides were open to the crowd.

“They could wait hours and hours

at a big amusement park just to get turned away,” Stanley said.

Instead, attendees may end up seeing familiar faces.

Some people were in groups with chaperones while others went with parents or guardians.

“There are some people here that we’ve seen at our other events,” Stanley said.

Cruz’s uncle, Ed Petru of Channahon, said he’s seen how the amusement park atmosphere has helped Donovan and other people with special needs.

“I think it enhances his ability to deal with life,” Petru said.

“I see the smiles on his face when

he gets off a ride. I wish more people could be happy like that.”

Petru said Special Needs Day gives people with special needs a chance to get out and enjoy life, without having to fight through large crowds.

“It’s amazing to see how the event is run, the effort put in by volunteers has been great,” Petru said.

Special Needs Day was more than just carnival rides in the blazing sun.

Festivalgoers had an optional swim time starting at 10 a.m., followed by a complimentary lunch at 11:30 a.m. provided by Channahon-Minooka area McDonald’s restaurants.

In addition to Special Needs Day and the carnival, Three Rivers Festival also includes a beer garden in the evening hours through Friday, all day Saturday and from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday.

The Family Entertainment Stage was open each day and the ExxonMobil Kidz Zone was open Saturday and Sunday.

Morris man’s love of cars burns bright More online

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Thirty-two years ago, Randy Anderson of Morris bought the car of his dreams – a 1960 Chevrolet Impala.

“It was the first V8 engine I owned.

My dad never let me have a car with that kind of motor because I was irresponsible, so when I turned 18, I bought this car,” Randy said.

Saturday at the Morris Cruise Night, Randy’s car was chosen by Morris High School District 101 Superintendent Pat Halloran as the celebrity choice vehicle for the evening. This honor came with preferred parking, a custom Morris Cruise Night shirt and photos. Ron Steck of Naperville was awarded the Beneficiaries Choice voted by Morris Rotary Club.

“We do cruise nights because we can sit out and hang out with all of our car buddies. Morris Cruise Night is the best cruise show around because of the amount of cars and the people,” Randy said.

Saturday, Randy told the story of his newly restored candy tangerine Impala.

Randy married his bride, Robin, and the pair drove off in this car for the first time as a married couple, which added to the sentimental value. But when the couple had kids, Randy knew that his family and financial well-being meant more, so the car was sold.

“It was just one of those things that I have always regretted, but it was a good decision at the time because we needed the money.”

Seven years passed when a twist of fate intervened the afternoon Randy visited South End Boat Shop in Frankfort, where he used to buy parts for his cars.

“I went in and talked to the guy there and he asked me if I still collected. Then he said he had my car. I paid $500 more than what I sold it, and got

my car back,” Randy said.

Randy drove it around for about a year, and then took on a four-year task to restore his car in his small two-car garage at him home.

“We had fenders in the living room, air-conditioner parts in our bedroom, we had parts all over our house,” Robin said. “But I was fine with it because that car was his baby.”

Morris Cruise Night founder Herb Wyeth said this month’s cruise night raised $4,897 between the 50/50 raffle and a portion of registration fees for the Rotary Club of Morris. More than 580 cars from every decade lined Liberty Street downtown Morris.

“The main goal was to raise money for our beneficiaries to give back to the community, but we also pride ourselves in hosting a family-friendly event where people can talk cars,” Wyeth said. “Most people have a story about their first car, or favorite car and

these owners like to talk cars.”

Wyeth said the cruise night crew works year-round and offers scholarships to the Grundy County Vocational Center, donates projects to Operation St. Nick, and supports needs of commu-

nity organizations.

The next two cruise nights of the season are Sept. 10, which will support the Morris Chiefs football team; and Oct. 8 proceeds will go to the Morris Police Benevolent Society.

MINOOKA – The Minooka District 111 board approved one-year tentative agreements with its teacher union at a special meeting Friday The board unanimously approved tentative agreements for the Minooka Education Association’s 2016-2017 bargaining unit contract. Previously the union had a three-year contract with the district that expired June 30. Before the vote, the board was in closed session for close to an hour and a half.

Superintendent Kenneth Lee, who started July 1 with District 111, said he felt like the negotiations went well and each side worked well together.

“It was a very amicable experience for me and just a positive to get to know people and begin working with them and I’m looking forward to it,” Lee said.

MEA President Dennis Grosskopf could not immediately be reached Friday.

The teachers union began contract negotiations this past spring. On July 26, the board and teachers reached a verbal tentative contract agreement that would be put into writing for both parties’ approval.

According to a summary of the tentative agreements, the salary for the

teachers union includes a step movement of 3.05 percent for those in the salary schedule and 3 percent for those on longevity, according to the agreements.

Under the benefits chart, all parttime teachers will accrue to a step advancement after teaching 10 sections in consecutive years. The tentative agreements also call for the establishment of a coursework approval committee that must receive unanimous consent for approval of coursework.

For traveling teachers who begin at the district’s South campus and end at Central, there will be one sick day per semester for them.

The summary of the agreements also stipulate the workday for teachers will be temporarily adjusted, if necessary, during impending transportation strike.

District 111 and District 201 officials were engaged in contract negotiations with Teamsters Local 179, which represents 135 bus drivers and aides at both districts. However, Tom Flynn, Teamsters Local 179 president, has said the negotiations “broke down” and the union filed a notice of intent to strike to both districts.

No date for the strikes have been given but district officials are assuming it will occur on the first day of school.

Plainfield business finds success at 3 French Hens On the web

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Despite the rain and intense humidity, 3,000 shoppers strolled Saturday through the booths set up by 145 vendors at 3 French Hens market held at Canalport along the I &M Canal in Morris. A new vendor this season is Farmhouse Reclaimed out of Plainfield.

3 French Hens co-founder Monica Vogel said she likes this group because of the originality.

“They repurpose barn wood, give it a fresh look with these beautiful pieces. Reclaimed barn wood is a big part of our history,” Vogel said.

Farmhouse Reclaimed business owners Cindy Payne and Lisa and Glen Delarosa met when Payne hired them as contractors to flip homes.

Now, Payne, along with the Delarosas, travel throughout the country to dismantle old barns, and create one-ofa-kind home décor pieces to sell at local markets. Lisa said her husband, Glen, also creates custom islands, fireplaces and beams.

Payne said the history of the wood makes the pieces unique, because each barn has a story and is anywhere from 115 to 210 years old.

“We have taken down five barns

Farmhouse Reclaimed co-owner Cindy Payne of Plainfield shows off one of her favorite pieces, which was made from reclaimed barn wood from a 115-year-old barn in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

Saturday at 3 French Hens, Gina this past year that we have been together. A lot of the wood we used came from Corban of Morris chose a table as a an 1806 barn in New York on a piece birthday present to herself. of property from the Revolutionary “This is something you don’t see War,” Payne said. in a store. These people have turned

something usual into something special,” Corban said.

Payne said that when she found the legs Glen used for the glass-top table, they were marked so she hit the internet to research.

“They had a mark that said Batavia Body Company, which built wagon wheels for refrigerated wagon trucks.

The legs used for the table were the wagon wheel molds,” Payne said.

Lisa said she and Payne are creative people and come up with their own designs after they look at a piece of wood, but her home is the biggest inspiration.

“I decorate things that I would like to put in my own home. Plus I like the color light blue, so there are many pieces that have a light blue accent on them,” Lisa said.

Farmhouse Reclaimed has only been on the market circuit this season, but Payne said a storefront is on the horizon and slated to open within the next 90 days at a farmhouse in Plainfield.

Protesters demonstrate outside of gun stores

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Protesters with the volunteer group Peaceful Communities braved the rain Monday afternoon as they picketed against gun violence outside Southland Firearms in Coal City.

“We are going from one end of the state to the other demonstrating in front of gun shops and gun manufacturers,” said Lee Goodman of Northbrook. “The entire industry should take responsibility and be held accountable for their actions.”

Inside Southland Firearms, owner Joe Smit said he isn’t sure why the group picked his store, but he was grateful to see his customers and members of the NRA come out to support his business.

The business, which operates out of a small storefront on the corner of Division and First streets in Coal City, was bustling as customers made purchases of targets, ammunition and even ponchos to stay dry during the protest.

“We are a peaceful community.

Peaceful Communities coming here will be the biggest disturbance we’ve seen,” Smit said.

“My hope is someone will do something, not just sit back and talk and do nothing. We’re trying to raise awareness by going to gun stores and letting them know that someone is watching.”

Norris E. Jackson Jr.

reverend of St. Paul AME Church

The four members of Peaceful Communities remained across the street from the store, holding their signs hoping their message would get out.

Earlier in the day, Peaceful Communities also protested outside a Lockport gun store.

“We might be small in numbers, but we’re big,” said the Rev. Dr. Norris E. Jackson Jr. of St. Paul AME Church in Glencoe. “There needs to be something done about the trafficking of guns into inner cities where there are no gun mills, in communities where there aren’t gun shops.”

He said he would like to see a leg-

“My hope is someone will do something, not just sit back and talk and do nothing,” Jackson said. “We’re trying to raise awareness by going to gun stores and letting them know that

someone is watching.”

Coal City Police Chief Tom Best was at the protest, along with other Coal City police, in case protesters got out of hand.

After an hour, the four protesters left peacefully, and the crowd broke up.

fasciitis. This unwanted pain could suddenly increase during any season when activities like running and walking increase.

a very important factor. Even moderately compromised vision can sacrifice safety when driving at night. A recent study found that a driver’s ability to respond to pedestrians after dark is degraded by modestly blurred vision, such as what occurs with cataracts. The danger applies even when drivers have passed the required vision test.

Australian investigators found that drivers with simulated cataracts of moderate density recognized pedestrians only 30% of the time, according to a study published in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science. Moreover, drivers with normal vision recognized pedestrians at distances an average of 5.50 times longer than drivers with the simulated cataracts. ©2014 Centers for Foot & Ankle Surgery, LTD.

The key to eliminating the pain is early treatment. Our physicians can help you find relief with therapies such us: antiinflammatory medications, stretching exercises, custom orthotics, footwear modifications, physical therapy and activity modifications.

Although most patients respond well to non-surgical treatments, a small percentage may require surgery. Our Board Certified physicians are also surgeons and can discuss all available options.

If you decide to drive at night, make sure your glasses are the maximum corrected strength and have cataract surgery before they pose a driving risk.

Related to cataract surgery, this is generally a very safe procedure with a risk factor that falls below 2-5%. That means that there is a better than 95% chance you could have cataract surgery without any complications.

Illinois Beer Festival Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – The inaugural Illinois Beer Festival was held Saturday at the Grundy County Fairgrounds in Morris.

Despite several inches of rain and spotty showers Saturday morning, the festival went off without a hitch – although attendees had to be careful of standing water and muddy fields for parking.

Event organizers Aren Hansen said the event sold just over 700 tickets to people who came out to sample more than 40 craft beers.

Will, Grundy officials to race for charity at Route 66 Classic

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County Sheriff Mike Kelley used to take his Pontiac Firebird to the track at Route 66 Raceway.

On Saturday, he will return to the track – this time with other officials from Will and Grundy counties – to face off in the Will County vs. Grundy County Grudge Match as part of the Route 66 Classic.

Kelley will race Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan; Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk will race Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick; Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton will race Morris Police Chief Brent Dite; Joliet Fire Chief Joe Formhals will race Morris Fire Chief Tracey Steffes; and Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow will race Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland.

Kelley, Callahan, O’Dekirk, Kopczick, Dite and Helland were at the track Tuesday afternoon for a practice run organized by track management. They signed waivers and were briefed on in-vehicle and track safety procedures, as well as a race day walkthrough.

The contestants will race trucks supplied by event sponsor D’Arcy Motors, which has dealerships in both Joliet and Morris.

Although Kelley said he plans to bring his Firebird out to the track Saturday for old time’s sake and test it out, he said it will be different to drive trucks in the Grudge Match. He’s never driven a truck in a race.

The brand-new, white, chromed-out Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras have 400-plus horsepower. Though nothing like a race car, they showed impressive acceleration.

“These trucks have a lot of horsepower to get off the line,” Dite said.

“They are not like the trucks of 20 or 30 years ago.”

Participants Tuesday were warned by track management not to screech the tires and to stay under 30 mph for the practice run. But drivers were focused on getting a good start off the line, so there were a few screeches.

“We’re racing identical vehicles,” Kelley said. “So whoever gets off the line better will probably win.”

Helland was the first of the participants to arrive and sought advice from

Kopczick owns a GMC Sierra, one of the two truck models being raced Saturday. He said he’s not sure what his opponent drives, but was humble when asked whether he has an advantage in knowing the truck.

“It can’t hurt,” he said. “I’m pretty comfortable with it.”

Proceeds from the event will be donated to charities of each winner’s choice. Kelley said that if he wins, he will donate to Special Olympics, an organization the Will County Sheriff’s Office has supported in all of his 28 years on the force. The Sheriff’s Office contributes to Special Olympics from both the Law Enforcement Torch Run and Cop on Rooftop events.

“We’ve always been involved with

them and I want to keep it going,” Kelley said.

Dite will donate to a similar cause if he wins. He chose Special Connections of Grundy County, a local organization that sends athletes to Special Olympics competitions through its programs.

Morris police officers raise money for statewide efforts and locally, but Dite chose Special Connections for this event.

“I’ve met some amazing individuals through Special Connections,” he said.

He hopes to go out on top, as it’s his “last ride” as chief of police. Dite is stepping down in mid-September to teach criminal justice at the Grundy Area Vocational Center.

Kopczick said that he will donate to the Grundy Resource Organization, or GRO, a new nonprofit that is seeking to stop hunger in Grundy County by growing produce for those in need.

“There’s a lot of great charities out there and a lot of people in need,” Kopczick said. “GRO is new, and it’s unique.

We shouldn’t have anybody going hungry in Grundy County.”

The Grudge Match, scheduled for 8 p.m., is part of a series of racing events Saturday. Others include dragster qualifying, exhibition shows and “test and tune.” For information, visit www.route66raceway.com.

Retention is a top priority for the GEDC

The Small Business Administration reports that 60 percent of net new private sector jobs are created by existing businesses. This is one of the motivators for the Grundy Economic Development Council’s 2016 retention program, which is set to begin this fall.

Every two years the GEDC conducts retention visits at local businesses. The insight and information received from these visits helps drive new programming and the allocation of resources at the GEDC office.

Retention visits are an excellent way to take the pulse of the Grundy County economy. Joining the GEDC in this effort are governmental officials and education leaders. Creating a retention team provides different perspectives and problem solving. Best

VIEWS Nancy Norton Ammer of all, the visits help build relationships among industry, education and government.

Providing a world-class workforce for our industries is a top priority. Retention visits provide direct feedback and direction about the skills businesses need to compete in the global economy. As a result of our visits, the Summer Internship Program was born. Businesses were struggling to find skilled employees and local superintendents stepped up to assist

in identifying Grundy County’s top talent. This summer, there were 15 businesses providing 29 local students paid internships. The Joliet Junior College’s Operations Engineering and Technician program also was a topic of discussion during retention visits.

This program recently finished its first year and is fully booked for the coming school year.

The GEDC retention program identifies expansion opportunities, companies at risk and company or community problems. The Route 6 industrial corridor is an excellent example of expansion for existing industries. In the last two years, Lyondell, Aux Sable and Akzo Nobel have invested nearly $400 million in their facilities. The GEDC and its community partners

learned about these ahead of time, thanks to retention visits. The retention visits also help problem-solve community or company issues. In addition to workforce, power, traffic, drainage and many other problems have been uncovered and resolved after a retention visit.

In the coming months, GEDC’s retention teams will be meeting with local business and industry leaders.

The confidential visits help solidify relationships, problem solve and uncover opportunities to keep Grundy County growing and competitive in the global economy.

OPINIONS Term limits ad already tops $1 million in Illinois

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller tur market; $73,000 in the Quad Cities (where Democratic Rep. Mike Smiddy is trying to hold onto his seat); $57,000 in the already crowded (with state legislative ads) Paducah, Kentucky market; $21,000 in Quincy and $25,000 in Peoria. In addition, Rauner has dumped $207,000 on satellite TV ads through Aug. 25 and appears to have added to his initial $21,989 cable TV buy with $101,640 more through Aug. 14. The cable buy locations line up with suburban and downstate Democratic legislative districts that Rauner’s political organization has targeted.

What is going on here?

A recent poll conducted for Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth’s U.S. Senate campaign found that Rauner’s job approval rating was just 37 percent, with a disapproval of 55 percent. “He’s been sitting around there for all of 2016, so opinions are hardening,” said a source familiar with the poll’s findings.

Rauner’s people counter with their own poll numbers that they say have Rauner’s approve/disapprove rating at 44-49. The term limits issue polls off the charts in this state, so attaching himself to the proposal in a sustained advertising buy likely will help.

The information-gathering aspect of this term limits push also can’t be ignored. Rauner has reportedly put his trusted lieutenant Chip Englander in charge of his data project. All his legislative races are gathering lots of data and it’s being pooled in one spot.

Building on Rauner’s 2014 race, and adding this year’s data (including from those who sign up online for the term limits pledge) the Illinois GOP could be “among the nation’s elite in data” for 2018, a Republican insider predicted.

“Maybe the top.”

And regardless of which poll is accurate, he’s gonna need every bit of help he can muster, both this year and during the next cycle.

Morris Herald-News / MorrisHerald-News.com • Thursday, August 18, 2016

An organization controlled by Gov. Bruce Rauner has spent $1 million on a new television ad promoting legislative term limits in a little over a week. And that’s just for starters.

Turnaround Illinois Inc. is one of those “dark money” nonprofit groups that doesn’t have to disclose its donors.

It has so far booked $1,015,084 in broadcast, satellite and cable TV ads.

The group bought $684,455 in broadcast TV ads scheduled to run from Aug. 5 through Aug. 14. The biggest chunk of the money, $344,850, was spent on expensive Chicago broadcast TV spots.

All the ad buys are expected to renew.

Rauner’s TV ad features several “real people” talking about the need for term limits. Rauner has also set up a website where folks can “sign” an electronic petition supporting the idea.

One of the people appearing in the ad exhorts watchers to help them get “a million signatures.”

Before the ads appeared, Rauner spent several days touring the state demanding that House and Senate Democrats come back after the election and pass a term limits constitutional amendment, which wouldn’t be voted on by the public until 2018. Rauner himself appears at the end of the ad to say, “Let’s all sign the term limits petition.

Go to FixIllinois.com.”

Even if the Legislature passed a term limits proposal this November (and it won’t), the limits wouldn’t actually get in front of voters for two more years and then wouldn’t start limiting terms for another 10 years. By that time, House Speaker Madigan will be 86 years old, and he could still run for a state Senate seat. The House Democrats are notorious for using federal issues such as Medicare and Social Security in state legislative races, so, whatever.

Rauner’s group also paid $130,820 for St. Louis broadcast television, even though most of those viewers live in Missouri. Illinois candidates often skip St. Louis broadcast entirely or wait until late in the game to air any ads because they aren’t very cost-efficient.

You always know somebody has big bucks to throw around when they go up on St. Louis TV, and it’s practically unheard of in early August.

The Rauner organization also plunked down $32,000 for broadcast ads in the Champaign-Springfield-Deca-

Lamaze, a member of Girl Scout Troop 70749, first spoke with the city in 2014 about the park that would be her Gold Award Achievement project for the organization.

“My mom always encouraged me to get my Gold Award,” she said. “It’s not only good for college, but my dog needed somewhere to run, so it made sense.”

The city agreed to install fences, benches, a small parking lot, a sidewalk and a spigot for refilling water bowls, but the design and some of the installation would be completed by Lamaze, as her project requires.

The cost to the city was $10,000.

The park would be divided into two sections – one for large dogs, the other for small dogs.

In June 2015, Morris City Council approved money for the dog park and

Lamaze was able to move forward toward completion.

The project, which started with meetings in April her freshman year at Morris Community High School, was finished this past March as she completed her junior year.

Now that the park, named Tag-A-

Long Park, is completed. A sign has been hung and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Aug. 11 where family and friends came out to celebrate.

“The city owned the property and nothing was slated for it, so we felt it was the perfect place to put a dog park,” Kopczick said. “Emily worked

hard to complete the project and we are proud to have it here.”

Two local Boy Scouts who are working toward their Eagle Scout status have proposed additions to the park, including more trees to add shade for the four-legged park-goers on hot days.

Rep. David Welter hosts children’s fair in Morris

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Mason Straughter strapped a pair of goggles on and tried to identify which of two pens had a light flashing on it, but was unable to.

Straughter, 13, then tried to complete a maze on a sheet of paper in the shape of a brain. The goal was simple – just draw from the enter to the exit without crossing one of the red lines that made up the maze – but he was unable to do that as well. Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland assured him he wasn’t alone.

“When you put the goggles on, it mimics the effects of marijuana,” Helland explained. “When I tried them on at a conference I thought they were playing a trick on me, then I lifted the goggles and saw that one of the pens had a flashing red light.”

Wanting to see what her son was experiencing, Tasha Straughter put the goggles on as well and attempted the same feats. She too failed to detect the flashing pen, and her trip through the maze showed seven instances of crossing the red line.

Helland was one of several offices and vendors at the Children’s Health and Safety Fair held Saturday by state Rep. David Welter, R-Morris, at Saratoga School in Morris.

“We come every year,” Tasha Straughter said. “We enjoy what we learn when we come and I want my boys to experience it.”

Mason Straughter, who is homeschooled, said the experience is different from some of his other learning experiences.

“It’s very enlightening,” he said.

“It’s good to come out and learn new things.”

Across the room, kids were gathering for the Dave DiNaso’s Traveling World of Reptiles show, where attendees got to touch iguanas and tortoises and more.

Welter said between 300 and 400

Grundy County resident, mother people stopped to visit with vendors, making his first children’s fair as state representative a successful one.

“The residents who attended were given a wide range of vendors to help teach them and their children about health and safety, as well as introduce them to opportunities in the community,” Welter said. “I hope to provide the fair next year and plan to grow it.”

VFW kicks off annual $30,000 scholarship competition SUBMITTED REPORT SPRINGFIELD – State Commander W. Dave Stout of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of Illinois announced recently the kickoff of this year’s VFW’s Voice of Democracy Scholarship competition.

Trotter said the most important thing people should take from the event is information on the symptoms of ovarian cancer, which include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, trouble eating or feeling full quickly, feeling the need to urinate urgently or often, fatigue, upset stomach or heartburn, back pain, pain during sex, constipation or menstrual changes.

Proceeds will enable the ‘Running for Life’ committee to raise awareness of the early symptoms of ovarian cancer and to improve patients’ survival rates.

MORRIS – Since 2005, when Corri Trotter of Morris lost her mother, Nancy Bonic, to ovarian cancer, she has been on a mission to educate people about the disease.

She said it’s important to her to increase awareness, since there is no diagnostic test for it and early detection is imperative to beating it.

“I continue to raise awareness because each year I meet someone new who has had their family affected by it,” Trotter said.

She started hosting an annual ‘Running for Life’ 5K to raise money for awareness of the cancer, as well as to help the families of individuals fighting it.

“The families I have become friends with want to get on board with raising awareness,” she said. “While the event gives me a way to honor my mother, it also gives other families an avenue to create the awareness that is now important to them.”

The fifth ‘Running for Life’ Ovarian Cancer Awareness 5K /10K run/walk is scheduled Aug. 27. The run starts at Ritchie Brothers Auctions in Morris and takes runners down rural Grundy County roads as they work their way to the finish line, which is also at Ritchie

Hoge-Hall family Going on gathered for reunion n o i ? t a c SUBMITTED REPORT

NORWAY – Family members from eight states gathered July 9 as descendants of Stanley Hall and Bertha Hoge-Hall at the Norway Community Building. There were 87 people in attendance.

Stanley Hall is descended from William Hall of Harwell, Berkshire, England, who came to America in 1851.

Stanley’s mother, Nina, came to the Kendall/Grundy area from Gallia County, Ohio, around 1896. Nina’s ancestors have lived in America since the 1600s, with three serving in the Revolutionary War and two in the War of 1812.

Bertha (Hoge) Hall’s parents, William and Carrie (Heckerson) Hoge, both came to America from Norway in 1881 and 1892, respectively.

Of the nine Hall children attending was 101-year-old family patriarch Donald Hall from Rockford; Barbara Hawkins from Springfield; Beverly Anderson from Minooka; and Lynnette Johnson from Marseilles. Brother Ralph from Arizona could not attend.

The reunion has continued every other year since 1994, after the passing of both parents.

Brothers William, Robert, George and sister Margaret Condon were there in spirit, having passed on in 2006, 1999, 2015 and 2012, respectively.

Marseilles textile artist enters international quilt competition SUBMITTED REPORT MARSEILLES – “Red Door Dream,” a fine art quilt by Amy Cavaness from Marseilles, was accepted for the World Quilt New England Competition. Mancuso Show Management’s Outstanding New England Quilt Festival will be held from Aug. 18 to 20 in Manchester.

“Red Door Dream” was inspired by a self-portrait taken by a friend. Although Amy’s form of artwork is constructed from fabric much like a quilt, it is not

meant to lie at the foot of the bed, but rather to hang on the wall like an oil or watercolor painting.

Textile and fiber artists use fiber as their medium: dyeing it, painting it, cutting it, tearing it, stamping it, fusing it and embellishing it. The final step, stitching through the layers of fabric, brings a dimensional depth to the artwork that mere paint cannot.

Examples of Amy’s artwork can be seen at AmyCavanessDesigns.com. For information, visit www.quiltfest.com.

MAZON – Mazon Masonic Lodge 826 members saw firsthand how a specially adapted bicycle can change the life of a special needs child.

So they set out to raise money for one.

“We were contacted by AMBUCS to help with a disabled child in this area who was in need of a therapeutic bicycle,” Mason Richard Leach said. “We decided unanimously to attend a bike build on May 22 and set out to raise $925 needed for the bike.”

AMBUCS, with its Amtryke Therapeutic Tricycle Program, now has more than 5,000 members in more than 140 chapters in at least 30 states.

Members work on a grass-roots level to fulfill the mission of creating mobility and independence for people with disabilities.

The Grundy County chapter became official last December and in June, Operation St. Nick helped buy 11 bicycles for kids in need through AMBUCS. The group hosted a pancake breakfast and went out to collect donations from other organizations, businesses and individuals and exceeded their fund raising goal.

The group raised $3,100 and donated the entire amount to the local Grundy Chapter of AMBUCS, to be used toward additional bicycles.

“I was very surprised at the amount

Morris, which finished with a 17-18-2 record last season, begins its season with a home game against Pontiac before hitting the road to play Coal City and then venturing to Benet Academy for a Benet Invitational that traditionally fields some of the top Class 3A and 4A teams in the state.

“We feel like we want to get in a tournament like that to see how we stack up,” Lafond said. “If we want to get to that level as a program, those are the teams we are going to be competing against.”

MORRIS – To say that the 2016 Morris girls volleyball team has a tough act to follow may be a bit of an understatement.

After all, the 2015 version featured a regional title, a win over Providence Catholic in the sectional semifinals and a sectional championship match that saw the Redskins take eventual Class 3A runner-up Joliet Catholic Academy to the limit, falling 25-23, 27-25 to the Angels.

Not only was the postseason filled with unprecedented success, but last year’s Redskin team also featured the program’s all-time leader in kills in Kaylin Korte, who is now playing for the University of Illinois.

But while Korte and all of her records are gone, Morris coach Taylor Lafond still feels her team has what it takes to remain much more competitive than others may think.

“Obviously, if you lose a girl of Kaylin’s talent, it’s going to have an impact,” Lafond said. “But we have a lot of depth on this team. There are 17 players on the roster right now, and they all have been working their butts off.

“Most of them saw what the speed of the game looks like against JCA in the sectional final last year, and we want to get to that level. These girls are putting in the work.”

Taking Korte’s spot as the go-to hitter in the rotation will be senior Janelle Brehm, with junior Calleen Soper occupying the right-side hitter spot. Other outside attackers for the Redskins will be Anna Thomas, Katy Smith, Marisa Aguilar and Layne Kief.

Seniors Veronica Johnson and Ryan Friend form a solid block in the middle and will be bigger factors offensively than they were last season. Others in the middle will be Gracie Wargo and Hali Finn.

Lafond plans to use a 6-2 offense, with setters Ashley Hood and Abby Bruyn on the floor at the same time, while the defensive specialists will be Jasmine Cook, Katie Mikula, Abbey Moore, Paige Valentine and Corrinne Day. “One of the nice things about having Kaylin was that we knew who we could go to when we needed something,” Lafond said. “A downside to that, though, was that the other team knew we were going to be going to her, too, and would set double and triple blocks against her.

“This year, we hope to be much more diverse and wide-open, so that should give everyone more one-on-one matchups instead of hitting into double and triple blocks.

“We really think we will be pretty tough to defend as a team. Plus, all of our girls are scrappy. They know that you

Brehm, Friend, Johnson prepare to lead

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Each of the three captains selected for the 2016 Morris girls volleyball team has her own strength, and Morris coach Taylor Lafond feels like it is a nearly perfect mix.

Seniors Janelle Brehm, Veronica Johnson and Ryan Friend will be the captains this season as Morris attempts to improve on last year’s 17-18-2 record and advance to the Class 3A sectional championship match.

“We definitely know we have big shoes to fill,” said Brehm, who will take over the outside hitter position from all-time kill leader Kaylin Korte.

“We do know that we want to show what we can do and help build the program.”

Lafond said that Brehm gives the team a leader by example, Johnson gives them a public face, and Friend holds them accountable.

“I asked the entire team different questions when looking for captains,” she said. “One of the questions was, ‘Who is the player that you want to have on the court when the game or match is on the line?’ The answer to that one was mostly Janelle.

“Another question was, ‘Who do you think represents what you think is best about our team to the people that aren’t on the team?’ The answer to that one was mostly Veronica.

“The final question was, ‘Who on this team would you like to go into a business with as a partner?’ And the majority of the girls chose Ryan.

“So, we have our go-to, our public representative and our girl who is all business. Between the three of them, I feel like we are in real good shape as far as leadership.”

Brehm and Johnson, having been up on the varsity team since they were sophomores, were natural selections as captains. Friend, however, did not play her freshman or sophomore years before rejoining the program as a junior last year.

“The team has had a lot of energy so far,” Friend said. “We have been working hard on conditioning because we

“We have been working hard on conditioning because we want to be a scrappy team that is going to bring a lot of balls up off the floor and play a lot of long rallies. You have to be in good shape to do that, and we don’t want to think that anyone is going to outwork us.”

After getting a taste of postseason success, the Redskins are eager to return to the big stages and loud crowds – and it doesn’t matter to them how they get there.

“We are just going to try and utilize whatever is working that night,” Johnson said. “We want to be able to mix things up and use everyone.”

Brehm agreed.

“It was nice for us to have Kaylin around last year because we knew we could rely on her when we needed something,” she said. “This year, though, with her gone, we want to show everyone that we aren’t a team that had to rely on just one player. We have a lot of very good players we can use in any situation and we feel like they will come through for us. Especially now, since we have some experience playing at a higher level after getting as far as we did last year.”

Morris won the Class 3A Rich Central Regional before defeating Providence Catholic in the Lincoln-Way West Sectional semifinal and dropping a 25-23, 27-25 decision to eventual state runner-up Joliet Catholic Academy in the sectional title match.

SENECA – Coach Karen Raney calls senior setters Emily Woods and Cora Wilkinson “cornerstones” to the 6-2 offense that Seneca will again use this girls volleyball season.

The duo will do more than just set the ball for a Lady Irish team eager to bounce back from a regional semifinal loss to Wilmington that ended their 2015 season. Their first match is scheduled for Aug. 23 at Hall.

“Their contribution as hitters will also be significant,” Raney said. “We want them to get a lot of swings.”

Two more seniors – outside hitter Rachel Sangston and defensive specialist Sam Tondini – add an additional year each of past varsity experience to Woods’ two and Wilkinson’s one.

“We will be counting on [Sangston] as an offensive threat,” Raney said. “As for our passing experience, Sam Tondini is a very solid player for us. These seniors are one of the keys for our season being successful.”

The seniors will be supplemented by a group of juniors that include outside hitters Sydney Poyner, Britney Helms,

Alyssa Hauch and Madi Maloney and defensive specialists Morgan Pifer, Sara Cahill, Peyton Harty and Hayley Wilson.

Poyner and Cahill may also do some setting. Sophomore outside hitters Hannah Berg and Lexi Greve will also start on the varsity roster.

“We will have to be very solid in serve receive. We [will] see who can step up and provide that for us,” Raney said.

“I feel offensively we could be explosive, but it all starts with that pass, and setters have to get the ball in their hands.

An area that could make a big difference is the progress of our blocking.”

A traditional Interstate Eight Conference power that finished ahead of only Sandwich in the 2015 standings, Seneca will face a tough task as it attempts to return to form this fall, Raney says. Seneca’s conference opener is a rematch with Wilmington Sept. 6 on the road.

“There will not be a weak opponent in our conference,” Raney said. “Streator will make more noise than last year. Manteno is traditionally strong and big. I think Herscher is going to be even tougher this season. You can never count out Coal City and Wilmington.

Really, every team in the conference should be optimistic.”

Against Dwight, Kloey Lind went a perfect 4-4 at the dish for MVK. She singled in the third and fifth innings and doubled in the first and sixth innings. The Mavericks scored two runs of its own in the second. The Mavericks scored on an RBI triple by Harmony Neal and a groundout by Jessica Daggett.

Four runs in the bottom of the fifth helped the Mavericks close its deficit to 11-7. An RBI single by Taylor Draves, an RBI single by Daggett, and a tworun single by Delaney Welsh sparked MVK rally.

The Mavericks scored one run in the bottom of the sixth to cut its deficit to five. An RBI double by Alanna Chapman triggered MVK’s comeback, but it was too little, too late.

Against G-SW, MVK (2-1) jumped out to an early lead on the Lions and captured the victory.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers to how they should be.”

That is an interesting thought. Other Japanese researchers have found that the immune system is strengthened when strolling through a forest. They discovered that when we breathe in natural essential oils given off by plants, our ability to fight disease is bolstered. The actual oil they have cited is phytoncide.

Because of this research both private and public, Japanese entities are promoting what they call forest therapy. Studies are now being conducted to determine how different forest climates impact various people. Maybe conifers have a certain impact on individuals. Or perhaps a broadleaf forest is better for other types of treatments. The possibilities are exciting and inspiring.

Like I mentioned earlier, I don’t think the idea of nature soothing people is a new idea, but the fact that actual, measurable effects have been documented explains why we feel better when surrounded by nature.

Who knows how far this research may go. Is it possible that a doctor may

someday prescribe a walk in the woods instead of a pill? Can spending time outdoors increase the quality of life?

Even in urban areas we are seeing an influx of construction with green spaces in mind. When looking for a home, a neighborhood with a nice park is bound to attract more buyers. Think about Central Park in New York City.

The property around that masterpiece is some of the most expensive in all of the five boroughs. People enjoy looking out their windows at that beautiful place.

I look forward to hearing about more research coming out of Japan and other nations. Nature can help our bodies in ways that we do not fully understand, but every day leads to new breakthroughs. It makes me wonder, what did the ancient people of the world understand that we have lost over time?

Something tells me these studies and findings would not be news to them.

In the meantime, take a walk through the woods. It will make you feel better and less stressed.

I don’t think it is a surprise that spending time in nature helps us feel better. Maybe you take a walk in the evening, go sit in a park and read, or cast a line on your favorite lake. The common theme is that those outdoor activities help us to refocus. Scientists from around the world not only agree, but are now seeing positive measurable effects.

A family member showed me an article over the weekend about this very topic. Researchers in Japan were eager to learn about what the body does when immersed in nature. For some time, people in Japan have practiced nature therapy. The results intrigued scientists, so they started digging deeper.

A leading researcher in the field is Yoshifumi Miyazaki. He conducted a study in 2005 and 2006 that involved 260 participants at 24 sites.

During his research, he found that salivary cortisol, a stress hormone, was reduced by people just looking at a forest.

During a 20-minute period, that particular stress hormone dropped by more than 13 percent.

Other studies have found that heart rates drop and blood pressure is reduced.

“Humans had lived in nature for 5 million years. We were made to fit a natural environment. So we feel stress in an urban area,” Miyazaki said. “When we are exposed to nature, our bodies go back

I have been playing around Chicken Paprikash with my tin of smoked paprika for Start to finish: 45 minutes quite a while now, and while I love the Servings: 8 flavor, it can come on strong. So here I relied primarily on the typical sweet Hungarian paprika, then added a little 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs bit of smoked to give it another level Kosher salt and ground black pepper of flavor. You also could add a bit of hot paprika to give the dish a different 1 tablespoon canola oil kind of kick.

Bebe Neuwirth also stars.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

A chapter in British TV history closes tonight as actor Kevin Whately bids farewell to a role that has spanned nearly 30 years in his career: Detective Inspector Robbie Lewis, a character he first created on “Inspector Morse” in 1987, then eventually continued in his own “Inspector Lewis” sequel. In their final adventure, “What Lies Tangled,” Lewis and Hathaway (Laurence Fox) investigate a bomb attack that kills a mathematician who also was a philanderer with plenty of enemies.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy Brian’s jokes irritate Stewie (both characters voiced by Seth MacFarlane) to the extent that they have a fight, prompting Stewie to create a companion in “Robot Guy.” As might be expected from that title, the pal is mechanical — and too smart for his inventor’s good, since he (it?) then unfriends Stewie. Peter (also voiced

by MacFarlane) has to go mattress shopping at Lois’ (voice of Alex Borstein) insistence. Patrick Warburton also is heard.

8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth What if you threw a party and nobody came?

It’s a familiar question, but the answer can be particularly painful if you’re one of the few people left on Earth. That’s the potential dilemma facing Tandy, aka Phil (Will Forte), in “Skidmark” — and he’ll certainly know who didn’t RSVP. Todd (Mel Rodriguez) gets reason to feel better about the future. Kristen Schaal, January Jones, Mary Steenburgen and Cleopatra Coleman also star.

Carson Daly remains the host.

9:30 p.m. on + WTTW The Tunnel Kieran (James Frain) kidnaps Adam (Jack Lowden), leading Karl (Stephen Dillane) into a diabolical cat-and-mouse game as this 10-episode series arrives at its finale.

Meanwhile, Elise (Clemence Poesy) discovers that Kieran was a Peloton operative, so she returns to France to meet with Fabien (Thierry Fremont). Events reach a climax in a chilling showdown.

A court hearing of your case has been scheduled for the 3rd day of October, 2016 at 9:00 a.m., at the Court of Pickens County.

You have a right to a free copy of the petition filed in this case which you may obtain from the Clerk of Superior Court, Pickens County, upon identifying yourself, or from the Pickens County Department of Family and Children Services.

If you fail to appear, the court can terminate your rights in your absence.

If the court at the trial finds that the facts set out in the petition to terminate parental rights are true and that termination of your rights will serve the best interests of your child, the court can enter a judgment ending your rights to your child.

If the judgment terminates your parental rights, you will no longer have any rights to your child.

Even if your parental rights are terminated: (1) You will still be responsible for providing financial support (child support payments) for your child's care unless and until your child is adopted; and (2) Your child can still inherit from you unless and until your child is adopted.

This is a very serious matter. You should contact an attorney immediately so that you can be prepared for the court hearing.

You are advised that O.C.G.A. 1511-283(b) provides as follows: “the biological father who is not the legal father may lose all rights to the child and will not be entitled to object to the termination of his rights to the child unless, within 30 days of receipt of notice, he files: (1) A petition to legitimate such child; and (2) Notice of the filing of the petition to legitimate with the court in which the termination of parental rights proceeding is pending.”
