Morris hopes to continue to play at home I promised my editor that I wouldn’t write about the Cubs this week.

That’s been difficult, because they FINALLY made the World Series. But, all of that has been well-documented and I doubt I can add anything to that conversation.

Some of the big news around town has involved the local sports teams. The Morris girls cross country team won the first regional cross country title – for either girls or boys – in school history, Daly Galloway of Gardner-South Wilmington completed her four years of regional races for the Panthers having finished in nothing but first place, Minooka’s girls started defense of their Class 3A title with another regional crown and the Morris and Minooka boys soccer teams each won regional titles as well.

But the big news locally, as it usually is in late October, is football.

After missing the playoffs last season, the Morris team returns to the postseason Saturday afternoon, as the third-seeded Redskins take on 14th-seed-

VIEWS Rob Oesterle ed Marion.

Looking ahead, the possibility of a rematch with Geneseo next week is very real. The Maple Leafs are seeded sixth and play host to 11th-seeded Triad.

If both Morris and Geneseo win, then the lower number seed will host the next game, meaning Morris would be at home again, having just beaten Geneseo, 41-14, in the final week of the regular season.

If Triad pulls off the upset and Morris wins, then it’s a long trip – nearly to St. Louis – for the Redskins. The consolation will be that Triad has a beautiful football facility.

The other four teams in Morris’ quadrant are Metamora, seeded 10th, No. 7 Kankakee, No. 15 Waterloo and No. 2 Highland. Metamora travels to Kanka-

kee this week, with Waterloo visiting Highland. If the seeds hold, then Kankakee would travel to Highland next week.

Personally, I think that Metamora will pull off the mild upset and be at home against Highland.

The downside to that scenario would be that, even if Morris were to win both of its games, its third-round game would be on the road, since Highland would have already played a road game and the IHSA dictates that those with fewer road games get to host.

Or, if both teams have hosted the same number, then the lower number seed hosts. Either way, it looks like Morris at Highland in the quarterfinals.

After a 4-5 season last year and no playoffs at all, anything beyond the quarterfinals would be gravy and I won’t mention those possibilities until they get a little closer.

Holiday help offered by nonprofit group We Care of Grundy County Christmas says applications are available

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In less than two months, Christmas will be here and We Care of Grundy County wants to make sure that children from low-income families have the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with presents under the tree.

The nonprofit’s annual “Adopt-A-Family” program helps families in need by providing Christmas gifts for their children and food for their holiday meal.

“Christmas is a magical time of year, and we want every child in Grundy County to have the opportunity to open a gift on Christmas morning,” We Care Executive Director Eric Fisher said.

In 2014, 878 children from 367 low-income families received gifts under their tree with the help of 63 organizations and individuals in Grundy County.

Eric Fisher expects this year’s total to be in line with previous years and said that applications are currently available and must be returned by Nov. 11.

The program, which has been running for around a decade, has been a success, Fisher said, because of the giving nature of the community.

To be eligible for the program, a low-income family must have a custodial child who is 18 years old or younger in the home, and proof of income and other documentation must be returned with the application by Friday, Nov. 11.

We Care provides the names of families who qualify to individuals, businesses and organizations throughout Grundy County, including Operation St. Nick, Coal City Food Pantry, and Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Food Pantry.

Individual donors or organizations can notify We Care of their desire to

Grundy County career fair aims to help students prepare for future

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent Shabbona Middle School student Michael Wiechen said his mother and father are both good cooks, so he wanted to look into a possible career as a chef.

But this eighth-grade student has time to prepare for his future career and wants to explore his options.

“I am interested to learn about different careers because I want to learn about jobs and see if I would be able to do it. I am surprised there are so many different careers in the county,” Wiechen said.

On Monday, more than 900 eighthgrade students from Grundy County schools visited 47 potential employers at the annual Hands-On Eighth Grade Career Fair at Morris Community High School and sponsored by the Community Foundation of Grundy County, Grundy Area Vocational Center and the Grundy County Chamber Business Education Council.

“These kids are pretty young,” Community Foundation of Grundy County program director Devan Gagliardo said. “However, we want kids to explore careers in Grundy County and, once they get a degree or higher education, come back to Grundy County to work.”

Gagliardo said she hears from employers in the area that they lack quality applicants, and many large corporations have a large population preparing to retire, which can pose a problem.

“Some of these large corporations have large spots opening in the next 10 years, and this career fair gets the word out to these students, which can give them something to work toward,” Gagliardo said.

GAVC student service coordinator Kara Gierke said this career fair offered many college-bound and not college-bound, or vocational opportunities, for the students to explore.

In order to keep the students on task during the 90-minute time slots allotted each group throughout the day, Gierke sent out a list of all of the career booths and asked the teachers to have each student highlight areas of interest.

She also included worksheets, which included questions for

Funeral home to hold grief workshop

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent Grief stems from many life events, such as divorce, death, and trauma.

As the holidays near, John Callahan of UC Davis-Callahan Funeral Home knows that grief can escalate during these times, so three years ago, he chose to offer a free grief workshop to those in the community.

“We know grief is a sensitive area, and at times, people are reluctant to come out, but we thought if we offered this in a group setting where others have a friend or shoulder to lean on, we would have good turnout,” Callahan said.

Callahan said this year, with the help of his assistant, he learned of the new painting craze, and with a local Morris painter available, he chose to run with the idea of a paint therapy grief workshop.

Local painter Jillianne Overman will lead the paint workshops, in which all who attend will receive a 16-by-20 canvas and instruction to create the painting she calls “Walking Your Path.” She said the whimsical swirls and bright and cool colors offer calming brushstrokes as well as soothing color therapy.

“For me, painting has always been a quiet and reflective time where I can quiet my mind and focus on the

paintbrush, paint and picture and let the chatter in my head go. Art is a good outlet to put anxieties to rest,” Overman said.

Overman herself has gone through trials in her life and can relate to grief, and said she will talk about how the picture represents different aspects of life’s trials.

Callahan said that in addition to the painting, the funeral home’s licensed counselors will be on hand for those who would like to speak about their grief.

“I hope people come and feel better because grief gets heavy. We have all been through grief in some way, shape or form, and it can feel like

a mountain on top of us,” Callahan said. And perhaps people will call if they need to come back for counseling – I hope it opens a door for a lot of people.”

The workshop date was set for Nov. 6, but when that event sold out almost immediately, a Nov. 13 date was added to the workshop. Both events are from 1 to 4 p.m. at UC Davis-Callahan Funeral Home in its celebration room located at 301 W. Washington St. in Morris.

To register for the free workshop on Nov. 13, visit UC Davis-Callahan Funeral Home, LTD or Rose ’n’ Vine on Facebook, or call the funeral home at 815-942-0084.

SPORTS SUPPORT THE SCHOOL Morris home playoff game benefits more than just the football team

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Around Morris Community High School, it seems like everyone gets excited for a football game. Add in the fact that this Saturday afternoon at 4 will be a home playoff game against Marion, and the excitement builds even more.

The players and coaches are obviously excited, because their season gets to continue for at least another week, with the added advantage of being able to play on the field where they feel most comfortable. However, there’s far more than just the athletic aspect that the school likes to see a home playoff game.

The Illinois High School Association sets the ticket prices and collects 90 percent of the money brought in from ticket sales, Morris athletic director Jeff Johnson said, so the financial boon for the hosting school is not quite as high as many people think. The concessions, though, all go back to the school, and that’s where varying clubs can see some big rewards.

“We barely break even if we just got gate money,” Johnson said. “The biggest thing financially is that whichever clubs or organizations are working the concession stands get an extra game to earn some money, and that’s a big help.”

Johnson also pointed out that it’s more than just the football team that gets another chance to perform in front of the home crowd. The marching band, the cheerleading and pom squads and the winter guard also get to work on their routines for upcoming competitions.

“There is just an excitement in the hallways among the students,” Johnson said. “Even the kids that aren’t playing or performing are getting excited. They are talking about what they are going to have as their theme of dress in the student section, we will have another pep assembly Friday. Everyone is involved and excited.

“We are a community high school, and the whole community gets involved.

From businesses decorating their windows to the Quarterback Club putting up all the kids’ names and numbers on signs up and down Union Street, painting the field, it’s a real group effort.

“We were named one of the top places in Illinois to see a high school football game, and if people come out, they will see why. Families all show up, even families that don’t have kids playing anymore.”

Saturday will mark the end of a busy week at MCHS athletically, as the cross country team hosted a regional last week and the volleyball team hosted a regional

David Toney for Shaw Media

Morris’ Ricky DelFavero and Nolan Feeney celebrate after a touchdown Oct. 21. The Redskins host Marion in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs at 4 p.m. Saturday. earlier this week.

“It’s been a great fall for us,” Johnson said. “Megan Davy finished in the top 12 at state in tennis, Jake Hulbert went to

state in golf, the girls cross country team won a regional title for the first time in school history, the swimming team has been setting school records all year, the

boys soccer team won a regional title and now we have a home playoff game. It’s pretty exciting, and I am proud to be a part of it.”

itself, I realized it would be disingenuous of me to write it alone because my woodworking life depends on the fellowship of the members of my woodshop, and my dad and brother,” Nick said.

Some members of his shop are relatively new to woodworking, but two of the more experienced ones – Ric and Matt – joined him onstage to read excerpts from their chapters in the book and share a story or two.

Ric stepped to the microphone and put on a Cubs hat, saluting the team’s first trip to the World Series in 71 years.

He explained how the Offermans became a woodworking family, as he held up his first woodworking project. When Nick

was too short to use the toilet, Ric made him a wooden step stool. Nick couldn’t believe his father still had it.

“That thing is going to the Smithsonian,” Nick joked.

Tim Heier of Milwaukee brought his daughter and niece to the signing. Emily and Greta, both 15, grew fond of Ron Swanson – Nick’s most popular role so far – on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation.”

They could have gone Saturday evening to Nick’s signing in Chicago, but Heier said seeing him in his hometown was more appealing.

“He came from a small town,” Heier said. “I wanted them to see him in a small town atmosphere. It’s been very

MINOOKA – Nick Offerman returned Sunday to his hometown of Minooka for what’s becoming almost an annual occurrence. The accomplished actor, a 1988 graduate of Minooka Community High School, is now the author of three books.

And each time he writes one, he plans a stop in Minooka as part of his nationwide book tours.

Nearly three years ago to the day, in October 2013, Offerman signed copies of his first book, “Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man’s Fundamentals for Delicious Living.” In May 2015, he signed copies of “Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America’s Gutsiest Troublemakers.”

Sunday afternoon was no different, as he introduced “Good Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop” to his hometown crowd. The book features contributions by members of his Los Angeles-based woodworking collective, as well as his father, Ric Offerman, and his brother, Matt Offerman, who craft in Minooka.

The book has how-to lessons for all levels of woodworking experience, written by woodworkers of all experience levels.

“Once I began to strategize the book

welcoming.”

While Emily and Greta waited in line, Heier said he really appreciated the life lessons Nick speaks and writes about. He said it was apparent onstage the strong bond Nick has with his father, brother and the rest of his family.

Nick said he had a lot of fan requests to do a woodworking book, and he had become so busy entertaining he was missing out on quality time in the shop.

He said the compilation style of the book allows it to not only be about creating, but a neighborhood of creativity and a community of crafting for yourself.

“I don’t want people to just make things out of wood, I want them to improve their lives,” Nick said.

He believes consumerism has grown so much that people have lost touch with where goods come from and how they affect the planet.

“I don’t know who made my table, who grew the food I’m putting on it or where this rug came from,” Offerman said. “By extension, we don’t know what resources have been used or misused to make these things happen, and that’s something I want to try and alleviate.”

Offerman Woodshop uses only reclaimed and salvaged woods for projects.

Even in a desert region such as Los Angeles, Offerman said the shop has more than enough wood to choose from.

Chad Skelton named new Morris deputy chief of police MORRIS – New Morris Police Chief John Severson named Chad Skelton as the new deputy chief Tuesday morning.

“Chad has really stepped up,” said Severson, who was named chief last week.

“As [former] Chief [Brent] Dite moved into his transition at [Grundy Area Vocational Center] and I took over some of his duties, I gave some of my duties to Chad.

It’s really a decision that made itself.”

Skelton, a 19-year veteran of the Morris Police Department, has moved through the ranks as patrolman, corporal and sergeant.

He previously was assigned as a detective and field training officer, and most recently served as day shift patrol com-

mander.

“One of the reasons I became a police officer is all the fields you can work your way up to,” Skelton said. “Administration is something I’ve always aspired to do. I want to try everything.”

Skelton worked for one year with the Kankakee County Sheriff’s Office as a correctional officer before being hired by the Morris Police Department.

He was born and raised in Morris and hoped his career would allow him to be close to family and in an area with which he is familiar. He said he was excited to start the new challenge.

“I hopefully can continue the good job that Chief Dite and Chief Severson have started,” he said. “I also hope to be a supporting factor to not only the police, but the community.”

“My son bought me a book on John Adams that I’ve been reading,” Severson said. “I would have to say he is a president I look up to.”

Morris woman let God’s grace shine through her cancer experience

“When she got the cancer, her faith just blossomed in a way that was absolutely beautiful,” he said, “and I had the privilege to see her faith in action under trial.”

Before Rene’ became ill, she was very involved in her church. She led the fellowship committee for a few years, hosted fellowship groups at her home and assisted Ed when he taught Sunday school. Rene’ also home-

schooled their three sons until they reached high school. She welcomed the boys’ friends and prepared food for them when they hung out.

“She was a great mom,” Ed said.

In 2010 after the boys were grown, Rene’ learned she had ovarian cancer.

Both she and Ed felt dumbstruck at the news, so they responded in the way that felt most natural to them.

MORRIS – People react to a terminal cancer diagnosis in various ways.

Some may feel numb or in shock.

Others may feel angry, scared or sad.

Still others want to know about treatment options and pain management.

None of these were at the forefront of Rene’ Genau’s mind when the doctor said the words, “You have stage 3 ovarian cancer.”

“Her primary concern was that she glorify God with her life,” said Morris resident Ed Genau, Rene’s husband.

Rene’s faith during her illness was so exemplary that Ed wrote a book about her cancer experiences to inspire others. Ed will sign copies of “Rene’ Genau – A Trophy of Grace” from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at Living Word Bible Church, 304 E. Jackson St. in Morris.

“I wanted other people to be blessed and encouraged by the beauty of her life, by the beauty of God’s grace in her life,” Ed said. “It was such a blessing to me and to other people that knew her. I wanted other people to have that benefit.”

Parts of the book came from journals Rene’ herself had written on CaringBridge, a place for people to create personal websites to share health updates with loved ones. When Rene’ became too ill to write, Ed took over the entries.

Ed said he’d met Rene’ during their college years. He was struck by her beauty – and how she grew more beautiful the longer he knew her.

Neither one came to “saving faith” until around 1988 – after they were married, raising their boys and living in Morris, Ed said.

After Rene’ was baptized and her faith increased, she became even

On Saturday, Oct. 15, in Normal, both Minooka Junior High School cross country teams received trophies for their performances in the state meet. The girl’s team brought home the Class 3A first-place trophy and the boy’s team earned a second-place trophy in the Class 3A division. girls finished within 20 seconds of one another, which was a major accomplishment.”

Although not all seven girls’ placements counted toward the team score, Neisler said, the sixth and seventh runners’ placements took a spot of another runner, so their placement points essentially counted against the

other team. And the two-point lead from second place would not have happened without those last runners.

Yorkville, which Neisler and his team predicted to win, took second place behind the Minooka Indians.

Krolcyzk took 14th place over all of the 250 runners with a two-mile time of 11.54 minutes.

• Thursday, October 27, 2016

Olivia Krolcyzk had trained to run cross country for four years, and now she and six other teammates faced 250 other runners in the state tournament and hoped to beat Yorkville, which pushed ahead of the Minooka team at sectionals.

“I had to relax myself and try my best. About 800 meters in, I knew I was the first Minooka girl and I could only see a few people in front of me, so I felt pretty excited and proud of myself,” Krolcyzk said. “When I finished, I had tears of joy in my eyes because I finished 14th, and my goal was to finish in the top 20.”

On Oct. 15 in Normal, the Minooka Junior High School girls cross country team took the first-place trophy in the Class 3A girls cross country state meet. Coach Thomas Neisler said he took 10 girls down to state, where seven ran and the top five spots counted toward the team points.

He said the team this year worked hard at distance and interval training and enjoyed running.

“Our strategy was to run together and stay as far forward in the race as we could,” Neisler said. “All seven

The MJHS boys team, who left the meet with a third-place trophy, ran a strong race according to the team plan.

“The boys followed our game plan to start fast and run along the edge,” coach Mike Lanahan said. “If you run in the middle, you can get stuck in the pack inside, you can’t advance and you are at the mercy of the pack speed.”

Lanahan said his team had a runner, Mason Engler, at the front of the pack most of the time and finished fourth with a two-mile time of 10.39 minutes and three other runners finished in the top 25 with run times under 11 minutes.

On Monday, the school was notified of a glitch in the computer scoring system, after a runner had been disqualified, and the third-place trophy, no longer belonged to the MCHS boys team. Lanahan brought the team into the office to break the news.

“I told them that these things happen and we have to give back our third-place trophy, for a second-place trophy. They were so excited,” Lanahan said.

MJHS Athletic Director Adrianne McKerrow said, as far as she knows, this was the first time both female and male teams in a sport came home from a state competition with hardware.

Saratoga Elementary School student Thomas Offermann, 11, and his certified nursing assistant – a one-on-one aide – Stephanie Salinas check out the new wheelchair-friendly platform swing installed at the school two weeks ago. The swing and a large chair swing with buckles were funded by the school parent teacher organization and the Grundy County Special Education Coop.

the students need accessibility on the playground during recess.

Price said she has seen an inclusion movement in the community and schools over the last few years, which has her thankful.

“Saratoga has been wonderful.

These swings help my son in particular because it helps him organize his senses. He has low vision and hearing, so these are therapeutic for him,” Price said.

• Thursday, October 27, 2016

Thomas Offermann, 11, and Jett Price, 13, spent Monday morning on the new swings, constructed two weeks ago on the playground outside of Saratoga Elementary. The two relaxed as the bright sun shone on their faces, and the pair couldn’t help but smile.

“These swings benefit our special education kids and regular education kids. It’s good for them (regular education kids) to see the special education kids out enjoying recreation and enjoying the same spaces,” said Jett’s mother, Jennifer Price.

Over two years ago, Becki West, former parent teacher organization president for Saratoga Elementary and current teacher’s aide said the teachers took the students on a field trip to Chapin’s Park in Morris, and the park had swings for special needs children in and out of wheelchairs.

“We have five to six students in wheelchairs with a disability and when we took them on this field trip and they could swing, they were all smiles,” West said.

She contacted the city and found out the exact swings that were at the park and began to find a way to include them at Saratoga Elementary. She said

she contacted Superintendent Kathy Perry for approval, which was given.

The next obstacle was to pay the $4,000 bill for two swings, one for wheelchairs with a platform and one large chair with buckles, along with the structures to hold the swings.

West said she called the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative Director Neil Sandburg to inquire about coordinating funds.

“Becki contacted me to see if we could split the cost of these swings. I saw that we had money in a portion of our federal grant funds,” Sandburg said. “This opens doors and removes barriers so these kids can go out and swing with their peers.”

During the next two years, the PTO took a portion of the money raised at draw-down fundraisers and set it aside for the swing project.

Two weeks ago, the maintenance team of Don Tondini, Adam Tondini and Bill Vanderveer used pavers to create an off-shoot of the pavement, leading from the school to the playground to the wheelchair-accessible swing, and also installed the set.

Saratoga Elementary Principal Joe Zweeres said these swings were a welcome addition because the school houses three special education classrooms on-site through the GCSEC and

Saratoga school adds special needs equipment to playground

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – With Joliet Junior College needing to update its master plan, President Judy Mitchell proposed at this week’s retreat meeting once again working with Legat Architects.

During the informational meeting, where trustees met to discuss a variety of topics concerning JJC, Mitchell said the Illinois Community College Board requires every community college to have its master plan updated every five years. JJC is due for a new plan in 2018.

In an effort to be cost conscious, with new facilities opening in 2017 and no other new buildings foreseen in the near future, she wanted to recommend the board develop its next master plan with Legat Architects in an amount not to exceed $50,000. She said the firm worked with the college on its master plan in 2008 and the updated version in 2013.

The master plan is a comprehensive document that details the current and future physical needs of JJC, according to the college’s website. The plan is developed by architects and engineers, along with campus and external community representatives.

Some of the projects under the master plan and its update in 2013 include the City Center campus building, JJC Event

WEDNESDAY

Center and Romeoville campus expansion, which are slated to open next year.

Open Meetings Act

Carl Buck, the college’s attorney, went over the Open Meetings Act and Freedom of Information Act at the retreat meeting to update college officials familiar with the laws on changes and introduce new officials to them.

He said the number of OMA and FOIA complaints received by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, which handles them through its Public Access Counselor office, or PAC, is growing exponentially because the public and media are becoming increasingly knowledgeable about how those laws work.

According to the PAC’s annual reports, the number of OMA and FOIA complaints has grown from 3,246 in 2013 to 4,770 last year.

One type of communication he told trustees to be careful with was email. He said technology is outpacing the law at times. If a trustee sends an email to all other trustees, Mitchell and himself, it wouldn’t be a OMA violation unless another trustee responds to everyone messaged in the email, Buck said.

However, he said that is being discouraged by the PAC because it can appear to invite trustees to respond individually and form a consensus, he said.

VIEWS Kris Stadalsky drawing and a silent auction. Trivia is played with 10 questions per round for 10 rounds.

The winner this year (drum roll, please) is the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office, who beat out last year’s Three Rivers Library Minooka branch champions.

Now that you know who your competition is, maybe you can get a leg up for next year’s event, which will be held again in October, although the date was not set by press time. Of course, the biggest winners are the kids and adults from Special Olympic Illinois.

The Illinois chapter reaches more than 22,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities and 20,473 additional young athletes, ages 2 to 7, with and without intellectual disabilities.

The first Special Olympics was held at Soldier Field in Chicago in the summer of 1968, following years of programs and efforts by the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation (spearheaded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver), Dr.

William Freeberg of Southern Illinois University, the Chicago Park District and the city of Chicago.

Organized by Anne Burke, the first competition included 1,000 athletes from 26 states and Canada. That doubled within two years and included athletes from France and Puerto Rico.

As they say, the rest is history. Now there are 179 competitions each year and 19 Olympic-type sports.

The Minooka PD also holds its annual Cop on Top and Cops and Rodders fundraisers, which bring in the other needed funds for Special Olympics Illinois.

Meyer and the entire department are pleased they topped their average annual profit for the organization by about $4,000.

“We partner with the community to benefit the athletes, help them build confidence and self-esteem and so they can have year-round sports activities and equipment,” Meyer said. “Thank you to the community for coming out and the businesses for supporting our event. The donations helped the event become a success.”

Thanks to help from the community, the Minooka Police Department raised more than $22,000 in 2016 for Special Olympics Illinois. The biggest chunk came from the department’s Oct. 15 trivia night – a whopping $13,800 after expenses.

This is the ninth year of the annual event, and it’s becoming so popular that there was a waiting list to compete this year, Minooka Chief Justin Meyer said. They squeezed in a couple of extra tables and were able to accommodate 30 tables in all.

People come from not just Minooka, but neighboring communities to get in on the action. This includes civic organizations, groups of friends, businesses and local officials.

I attended the first trivia night nine years ago with the Channahon-Minooka Rotary Club; we had a great time. I’m glad to see how much the event has grown, not just for the Minooka PD, but for the Olympians who are the recipients of the funds.

What makes it so fun is that Minooka PD comes up with the categories and the questions. Some of the categories this year were “Game of Thrones,” geography and famous sports rants.

The event includes food at the tables, a T-shirt, raffle prizes, a 50/50

Suffering with fall allergies?

Help is available!

SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese If you currently have symptoms of hay fever, including sneezing, a runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, a scratchy throat and a cough, you probably have fall allergies. Related sinus and nasal inflammation can lead to congestion and headaches, causing you to feel miserable.

Dr. Hetal Amin is an Allergist-Immunologist with Morris Hospital in Morris, IL. “Weed pollen, predominantly ragweed, is the most common trigger for allergic symptoms in the fall,” she explained. “Various molds, such as those found in wet mown grass and damp leaves, are another common trigger.”

Dr. Amin also notes several lesser-known causes of allergy symptoms. “Dust mites can contribute to indoor allergies in the fall, since they get stirred into the air when the furnace is first turned on,” she added. “Also, foods such as melons, bananas, and zucchini can trigger symptoms due to the similarity of their food proteins to ragweed pollen.”

Allergy sufferers typically resort to over-thecounter medications such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops. While effective when used correctly, many people mistake allergies for cold symptoms, and may use the wrong medications. “Patients generally benefit from seeing an allergist, who can perform skin testing for various indoor and outdoor allergens,” said Dr. Amin. “A treatment plan will offer avoidance measures, appropriate medications, or longterm treatment options such as immunotherapy (allergy injections). Immunotherapy builds the immune system so the patient can tolerate the allergens that trigger their symptoms, rather than suffering from symptoms and guessing which medication will work.”

Dr. Amin offers many strategies to her patients who suffer from fall allergies, including keeping windows shut, running the air conditioner to re-circulate indoor air, and using HEPA filters to trap pollen, dust mites, and mold. She also recommends limiting decongestant nasal sprays to 5 days, as they can cause “rebound congestion” and make symptoms even worse.

the students to ask the representatives at each booth, which helped break the ice between adult and student.

Emma Ritze of Reed-Custer Intermediate School learned how to handcuff a suspect from Channahon Police Department cadet Ryan Rogina. Ritze said she wants to keep her options open.

“I like to help others, help people get better, so I am thinking about a career in physical therapy, but I want to experience different things and see what I like,” Ritze said. “This fair can help us to choose and be more prepared.”

Shabbona Middle School teacher Dawn Wren said she feels this age was perfect for this career fair because they already have to make high school class choices.

“When they start thinking about a career in eighth grade, they know what classes to take in high school,” she said. “And, these people at the booths tell the kids what they need to know for the career, which is math, science and technology, which shows the students the importance of their core classes.”

Gagliardo said this fair will permanently move to an October date from its original May date in order to prepare the students for high school class registration, which begins in January.

He said the reason is that Adams went from farmer to White House while maintaining his work ethic and honesty while he struggled and overcame the climb to leader of the United States.

Harold Vota, R – Coal City What inspired you to run?

“I retired from the post office and was doing nothing,” Vota said. “I heard the administration and chairman at that time were arguing and I didn’t understand who was supposed to do what, so I became involved.”

He said he didn’t have obligations to anyone, had never claimed a political party, and felt that he would be good on the county board.

“I always worked at the post office and if a package was lost I would try to find it and return it,” he said. “If a Social Security check didn’t arrive I tried to help, it didn’t matter if they were a Democrat or a Republican.”

What issues are important to you?

Vota said doing what is logical and within reason is the most important thing for him. He said he takes his responsibility to the community seriously.

What politician, past or present, local or national, do you look up to and why?

He said as he looks back in history there were many that were important at the time and played important roles in history, but the one he most looks up to is Newt Gingrich.

“Newt Gingrich has always tried to be honest and do what is best, he’s also logical,” Vota said.

Jim Ryan, D – Morris

Why are you the best candidate to represent your district on the Grundy County Board?

Due to the past experience I’ve had on the Grundy County Board working with both parties to do right for the county and the ability to listen to people to voice their concerns about problems they have within the county.

How would you work to draw larger businesses to the county to replace the tax dollars lost by the closure of pointof-sale businesses?

We as a county already have good tax breaks for companies looking to move here in place, but I would also stress to them that the county has all the necessary forms of transportation (highways, trucking, and rail) to move their products. I would promote the great working force of men and women that we have in the county.

• RENE GENAU

Continued from page 11 “We came home and hugged each other and prayed together,” Ed said.

“We just asked God for the strength for whatever the future held. She really just wanted to glorify God in whatever was going to happen. That was our prayer, and that’s ultimately what happened.”

Ed will never forget the day Rene’s doctor told her she had only days to live.

“She smiled,” Ed said. “The doctor scratched his head and looked at her and said, ‘Do you understand what I just told you?’ She smiled, a very sweet smile, and she said, ‘Yes. You just told me I’m going to be with Jesus.’ ” People visited to encourage Rene’ and left feeling encouraged. When Rene’ decided she was ready for hospice care, her only worry was for Ed’s well-being.

“She said, ‘I know this is harder for you than it is for me, so I called our pastor to come over and comfort you,’ ” Ed said.

Rene’ was 53 when she died March 9, 2014.

Channahon D-17 pleased with test scores, academic progress IMPROVE YOUR ODDS IN 2016!

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – Principals of the four schools in Channahon School District 17 presented Measures of Academic Progress standardized exam data and school improvement plans Monday to the school board, with good news.

The district’s scores on the exam, which measures student progress in English language arts and mathematics, are very good.

“We were very happy with our results,” Channahon Junior High School Principal Chad Uphoff said. “Our math numbers were really outstanding this year.”

The three other district principals echoed Uphoff’s statement about how well their students performed on the test, which was administered last spring, and showed board members tables comparing their students’ increases in growth over the past year, both within the schools’ grade levels and compared with national results.

Uphoff said that he was particularly impressed with the junior high’s geometry and statistics progress in seventh grade.

“We were very happy with our results. Our math numbers were really outstanding this year.”

Channahon Junior High School principal

Teachers adjust their strategies based on standardized test results, he said, and action plans for his teachers this year include piloting standards-based grading, adding more English language content in vocabulary quizzes, maximizing opportunities for group math work, and doing targeted reteaching for students with deficiencies.

Three Rivers School Principal Susan Kavich said that, based on the MAP results, her teachers’ action plans for the school year included implementing Common Core-aligned curricula and setting individual goals according to students’ deficit areas.

MORRIS – History was made last Saturday at Morris Community High School when the Morris girls cross country team won the Class 2A Morris Regional championship. It was the first regional title – for girls or boys – in cross country in the school’s history.

The boys team finished second at the event, and both teams will run at the Class 2A Metamora Sectional on Saturday with their eyes on the state meet at Peoria’s Detweiller Park next weekend.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Public Notice Proposed Renewal of the Clean Air Act Permit Program Permit Morris Community Landfill in Morris Morris Community Landfill has requested that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) renew the Clean Air Act Permit Program (CAAPP) permit regulating air emissions from its Municipal Solid Waste Landfill located 1501 Ashley Road in Morris. Based on its review of the application, the Illinois EPA has made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review.

The Illinois EPA is accepting comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight November 26, 2016. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held.

Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Brad Frost, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, 1021 N. Grand Ave. East PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9506, phone 217/782-7027, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, brad.frost@illinois.gov.

Grundy students learn about agriculture in the classroom

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent Avery Odette, fourth-grade student at Walnut Trails Elementary in Shorewood, sat in her chair, hand in the air and waited eagerly to be called upon as the instructor asked who was a first manufacturer to process soybeans in Illinois. “A.E. Staley,” Odette answered.

For more than 20 years, fourth- and fifth-grade students, within school districts located in Grundy County, have learned what our county has to offer the world agriculturally by Grundy County Farm Bureau ag literacy coordinator Yvonne Foss.

New this year was the addition of an advisory council for the program in order to comply with regulations of a grant received by the Illinois Farm Bureau and the Illinois Leadership Council for Agricultural Education.

“The council gets together to brainstorm ideas to support the program, create fundraising opportunities and increase resources,” Walnut Trails Principal and advisory council member Kathleen Cheshareck said. “We want to be engaged in the program and process because of its active involvement with the students.”

Foss takes curriculum created by the Illinois Farm Bureau to create a hands-on class, where students are eager to answer questions and learn- with

Continued from page 22 can be misleading when students already are performing at the highest level.

Laura DuBois, principal of Pioneer Path School, which educates third- and fourth-graders, told the board that her students are making the most growth in operations and algebraic thinking in the math section and grammar and language use in the ELA section.

Teachers this year will use timed practice and tests for fact fluency, identify students who could benefit from Homework Club, and use technology to differentiate lessons and assessments, among other action plans.

careers and nutrition and food are given during the one-hour classes.

“I learned that farmers in Illinois can grow a lot of things for food and products, and that other countries and states have something in common with Illinois products,” Odette said.

Walnut Trails teacher Julie Krolczyk said the animal agriculture has been her students’ favorite lessons in past years.

“The egg experiment has been their favorite, because they open and look at each part of the egg, then they can go home and take apart an egg and do their own experiments,” Krolczyk said.

In September, the farm bureau joined with the Grundy County Soil and Water Conservation District to host a field trip to kickoff the fifthgrade program, and then the farm bureau provides bimonthly natural resources classes through the remainder of the school year.

Students learn more advanced topics in agriculture, such as soils, water and technology in agriculture.

Foss said the program highlight comes near the end of the school year, when teams of six are formed to represent each school at an annual Ag Jeopardy contest on the last Friday in April.

Students are asked questions from the study guides they collected over the school year, and compete for first place.

“We, of course, are proud of our scores and continue to move forward,” Superintendent Nick Henkle said after the meeting, “but with the understanding that it’s just one piece of the equation. ... This is one snapshot.”

Henkle said other standardized test results, such as those from the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers exam, which will be discussed next month, are added to character education and other aspects of student development to determine the full picture of the district’s academic growth.

The school board Monday also: • Heard a request, which will be considered further, from Crase Auto that the car dealership be allowed to use some District 17 parking spaces adjacent to the dealership.

• Decided to retire three older school buses and allow Chief School Business Official Mike Schroeder to prepare to seek bids for two new buses.

• Approved hiring Cassie Triche as a technology support specialist at a wage of $15 an hour.

Send your business news to news@morrisherald-news.com.

Career fair great place to start planning future By the time you read this, we will have successfully completed a third annual Hands-On Eighth Grade Career Fair.

This event is a project of the Grundy County Business Education Council, a network of educators, business, the Chamber, and others who meet regularly to ensure the lines of communication are open toward ensuring our students are prepared for life after high school.

“Big thanks” to Cara at the Grundy Area Vocational Center and Devan at the Community Foundation of Grundy County for their hard work organizing this great event! I also want to thank The Twilight Fund for their financial support of the fair and also Morris Community High School for use of the field house.

The Hands-On Eighth Grade Career Fair is an expo for our county’s eighth-grade students to explore careers before they select their freshman classes over the winter.

Unlike a traditional Chamber expo, booth vendors are not trying to sell their products and services. Instead, they are talking about various careers in their industry.

The “hands-on” part is an interactive demonstration to help the students better understand the career.

As we know, many of us learn just as much from sight and touch as we do from listening. Our favorites are the booths that encourage students to compete against one another.

VIEWS Julianne Buck Can you shoot a water pistol while wearing impaired goggles? Who can install spark plugs faster? Can you complete tasks with a temporary disability?

There are many indoor and outdoor vendors and careers. There’s a very wide range of categories – one’s bound to catch the attention of every student.

Examples include medical, industrial, cosmetology, banking, chemical, military, computers, trades, fine arts, faith community, social services, and higher education. Many companies have multiple booths to highlight the various careers within.

For example, Morris Hospital employs many more careers than just doctors and nurses.

There are highly skilled techs who run tests and labs, accountants in billing, public relations, high-tech building maintenance, food and dietetics, physical therapy, technology, and data systems, just to name a few.

The nuclear facilities and chemical companies on Route 6 east of Morris also employ many careers beyond the technical staff. There are attorneys, accountants, human resources, public relations, logistics, and management.

At first glance, some vendors look

like they’re recruiting kids for their first job, such as restaurant servers or store cashiers. But if you listen closely, you’ll notice that those vendors are talking about the high-paying management positions available at the large chain companies in our nation.

You might start off taking orders, but there’s a path to management that’s a great fit for some students.

The Grundy Area Vocational Center uses this expo to highlight all of their programming – and there’s quite a bit!! This includes criminal justice, occupational health, early childhood development, computer technology, fire science, automotive, welding, and building trades.

All juniors and seniors in Grundy high schools have the opportunity to attend GAVC and by attending the Fair in eighth grade, they can map their high school classes in order to be ready to attend GAVC as upperclassmen.

The fair also demonstrates that practically every career requires some form of training after high school, whether it’s an apprenticeship, a certificate, a two-year degree, a fouryear degree, and some even graduate school.

There’s also plenty of opportunity for entrepreneurship evident at the fair. Graduates of GAVC can go into business for themselves by opening an auto shop, hair salon, child care center or computer company.

If that’s a student’s path, then obvi-

ously it would be wise to take business classes in high school.

The fair has always invited eighthgrade students from all of Grundy County, including Seneca, Dwight, and Channahon. This year we are excited to include Braceville.

We have the space and there’s no reason to exclude them just because they are barely over the county line.

If you have an eighth-grader in your family, please take some time to ask him/her about their experience at the fair.

What did they see? What did they do? Did they see a career path that interests them? What classes will they need in high school toward it? Is GAVC an option for them?

You can even begin looking at college programs for the fields that interest them. It’s never too early to nose around.

Lending our financial support and organizational skills to a great event such as this is one of the many services provided by the Community Foundation of Grundy County. Fairs such as this are how we improve the quality of life in Grundy County through leadership and philanthropy.

• If you have a question about the fair or any other service of the Foundation, please contact us at 815941-0852 or Julie@cfgrundycounty. com. Our address is 520 W. Illinois Ave., Morris, in the historic Coleman Hardware building.

OPINIONS

Rauner adapting Trump’s rhetoric Democratic House candidate John Bartman was appointed to the ballot in July when Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, dropped out of the race to run for McHenry County Board chairman. Bartman is not getting help from the House Democrats, who appear to have all but conceded.

Rep. Franks’ district is solidly Republican. President Barack Obama lost it by eight points four years ago. Franks has been able to win it because, well, he’s Jack Franks. He talks a good Republican line back home and takes some high-profile votes against his own party. Bartman is no Jack Franks.

Even so, the Republicans say they want to “drown” any possible chance that Bartman may have, particularly in a year like this. So, they’ve launched a negative cable TV blitz, with similar ads on radio and in the mail.

As of Oct. 21, Republican candidate Steven Reick had reported $187,000 in contributions since Oct. 1, which is about $65,000 more than he and the Republicans spent in this district during the entire third quarter.

“You can always judge a person by who their friends are,” the spot begins.

“Take John Bartman, a hand-picked 2003 IDOT patronage hire of disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and chosen political tool of Mike Madigan.

“Under Speaker Madigan’s watchful eye, Bartman will be forced to raise your property taxes to fuel more wasteful government spending for his political boss. You pay more and Bartman will side with his boss.”

As we’ve discussed before, the Republicans truly believe they have found the magic elixir this year by constantly invoking the horribly unpopular Speaker Madigan’s name.

GOP Rep. Dwight Kay, for instance, was quoted in the Belleville News Democrat last week as saying: “The first thing we need to do to get the budget balanced is to see that Mike Madigan goes home.”

That’s a pretty tall order, but if it works electorally and the Republicans hold onto their incumbents like Kay and pick up some Democratic seats, they’ll undoubtedly say that Madigan has become so toxic to his own members that it’s time for him to go.

Some of the Republican ads I’ve seen this year mention Madigan’s name even when it’s not particularly relevant to the ads’ messaging. Perhaps the inclusion gives the attack added weight because Madigan is so unpopular.

It’s also likely designed to keep the Republican “theme” going regardless of content.

But I have also come to suspect it’s being done so they can claim that they used Madigan in almost all of their negative ads and that’s why they prevailed over the Demo-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller crats. And, hey, if it doesn’t work, well, just look at Gov. Rauner’s comments throughout the summer and fall for a preview of what they’ll say the day after the election.

The governor has repeatedly pointed to Madigan’s “undemocratic” legislative district map, which he says has “rigged” the election against the Republicans. You gotta figure he’ll use that as his excuse if Madigan comes out on top, as well as infinite references to Donald Trump’s expected miserable performance.

But wait. Aren’t quite a few pundits saying that Trump’s repeated refrain that the election will be rigged hurting him further by depressing his base of support?

They could be right, but Gov. Rauner has added a twist.

“We’ve got a system that is rigged,” Rauner told WAND TV’s Doug Wolfe in late August.

But then he did something that Trump isn’t doing. He talked about a solution.

“We’ve got gerrymandered districts that are shaped like spaghetti noodles in many cases designed to protect incumbents.”

So, Rauner said, to fix this Illinoisans need in order to support reforms, such as redistricting and term limits.

And whenever Rauner says this he adds that the best way to get those reforms is to elect more people who will work with him, mainly Republicans.

And the worst thing to do is to vote for anyone associated with his archenemy Speaker Madigan.

So, what Rauner is doing is quite clever.

He uses Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric without all that “nasty” Trump baggage.

Of course, if Trump does unintentionally depress his own base, that would be really bad news for Rauner, who is counting on that base to turn out and vote his way – which is one reason why he won’t say anything that directly criticizes Trump.

What’s that old saying about the best-laid plans?

Jack Franks the Democrat was able to avoid defeat for 18 years in a Republican district, which makes Rauner’s argument about redistricting reform look just a little silly.

The point is, though, strange things happen in politics. Stay tuned.

Morris’ First Christian Church celebrates 50

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent First Christian Church in Morris will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this weekend, with members and former members reuniting for a potluck, entertainment, speakers and tours of the building.

The changes in the physical church have been dramatic over the past five decades. Members first began meeting in the Masonic Temple in Morris, then in 1966 moved into their own building in the 500 block of Liberty Street.

In 1972, the church’s current building was constructed on West Southmor Road, with 4,000 square feet of space. Over the years, additions were added and wings modified. Twenty years ago, a large worship center was added to the east end of the building.

A gymnasium, family life center, kitchen and classrooms were added a few years ago, and a new children’s wing was constructed just this year, bringing the square footage to more than 46,000.

Attendance at First Christian has grown over the years to average more than 700 on Sundays, and the church’s Rainbow Preschool has seen numbers rise 50 percent this year alone.

But members say the spiritual heart of the church has remained steadfast.

“It’s growing, and it’s always been growing and changing since it started,” longtime member Coral Bleifield said, “but it’s always been in the word.

We’ve never changed the foundation of being a Christian church that follows the word of Jesus Christ.”

Bleifield, who also is helping or-

Southmor Road. ganize the anniversary celebration, said the committee’s recent meetings have been an example of “passing the faith along” from generation to generation, with older and younger members sharing stories from the past and visions for the future.

To acknowledge that passing of the baton, Bleifield said the speakers at the celebration will begin with former Minister Chuck Richardson, who retired in 2012 after serving for 40 years, and will end with current Minister Scott Zorn.

“I knew this wouldn’t be a status quo church,” Zorn said of when he first began in his position at FCC.

CHURCH BULLETIN Roast beef and KFC dinner to be held Saturday in Gardner

GARDNER – The Church of Hope Women’s Association will hold its annual Fall Roast Beef and KFC Dinner from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Church of Hope, 202 N. Monroe in Gardner.

The menu will consist of roast beef, KFC chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, vegetables and salads.

Drink and dessert also will be included. Cost is $10 for adults; children 3 to 10 are $4; and children 3 and younger are free. Carryout will be available.

– Morris Herald-News

“We were going to try to do some significant things together, and people wanted that. I could see that, sense that, and it’s been true since I’ve been here.”

Gary and Karolyn Sink will be returning to Morris for the anniversary celebration. The couple joined in 1974, when Gary got a job transfer from Rockford to Joliet, and they played important leadership roles before they moved out of town in 1999.

“We moved to Morris in large part because of that church,” Karolyn said.

Lyman Gill was her great uncle, and he and his wife, Hazel, were FCC charter members.

“I think it was special back then because the church was small and growing,” Karolyn said, “and a lot of us really felt like we’re in this together. ... We all just really felt a part of it because of serving. Our whole lives centered around the church.”

Sink said a big part of the success of the church was Richardson’s leadership.

“He always led by example, and he continually did leadership development,” she said.

The hiring of Zorn to replace Richardson also has been a blessing to many. Shannon Holliday, another anniversary organizer, said Zorn is a wonderful minister.

“We are very blessed to have him,” she said. “I leave every Sunday having a new perspective on godly living.”

Church member and head of the finance ministry team Steve Stangland said he was one of those whose faith and leadership were strengthened by the Richardsons, the Sinks and other early church leaders, whose faith he called, “contagious.”

“The message was from the Bible,” he said, “and boy, they lived it.

That’s been instrumental in the whole growth out there. It gave us a good foundation for our faith and for living our lives in a positive manner.”

Stangland said it’s been incredible raising his daughters in the church and now seeing all the young families coming in.

“It’s been amazing to be a part of it,” he said. “Just to see how far it’s come and how far it’s going to go. I’m very confident there’s going to be another 50 years.”

Holiday season key for Habitat for Humanity

Just the other day, I saw a countdown to Christmas and I couldn’t believe we are nearing the end of the year. Soon we will be making lists and planning for the holidays, and if your family is like mine, you may even be thinking about ways to give back during the holiday season.

Many families will feel grateful for the gifts they receive and will be inspired to give to others around the holidays. It is because of the generosity during this time of year that Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity is able to continue to create affordable housing and eliminate substandard housing in our area.

Soon we will appeal to our volunteers, donors and community to make a gift to our organization so we can continue to give back to families throughout the year. Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity’s donors have realized that a gift to us is not

COMMUNITY PULSE Sarah Peterson just a donation but an investment in our families and our communities.

In the past 20 years, Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity has invested in 12 families’ futures by providing them with safe, affordable homes. We also have added thousands of dollars back to the county tax rolls through property taxes on the homes we built.

This year alone, we closed on our 12th home, helped three families with exterior repairs on their homes, built a shed for Narvick House, and purchased the lot where we will build our 13th home. We also purchased a trailer, which will be paid for through

sponsorships, to store our tools and equipment and will prevent us from accumulating storage rental fees.

For many families, an affordable home is the difference between instability and opportunity. Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity gives our families a handup to the possibilities an affordable mortgage provides.

When families have an affordable mortgage, they are able to invest in their future by not having to make sacrifices on necessities such as medicine or transportation.

Through our “A Brush with Kindness” program, we make much-needed exterior repairs and provide homeowners the ability to stay in their home. Many of our “A Brush with Kindness” recipients are seniors and we give them opportunity to age in their homes so they can remain independent. We believe every gift Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Hu-

SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Donna Ames of Morris was named Morris Hospital’s October Fire Starter of the Month.

Ames has worked as a unit secretary in the Emergency Department at Morris Hospital for more than 25 years.

“In some ways, unit secretaries at hospitals are like air-traffic controllers. They are at the center of activity on the unit where they work, aware of everything going on” public relations manager Janet Long said in a news release. “They are valuable resources and committed to keeping everything running smoothly.”

This is the third time she has received this recognition since 1983.

Described as an organized multi-tasker, Ames became Morris Hospital’s very first Emergency Department unit secretary in 1990, 12 years after joining Morris Hospital as the first med/surg ward clerk on midnights. Her role as unit secretary has evolved over the years along with Morris Hospital’s growing Emergency Department according to the release.

Between ordering supplies, tracking orders, communicating with other departments, organizing charts and completing paperwork, Ames plays a critical role in keeping the Emergency Department running smoothly, resulting in satisfied employees and satisfied patients. Her success is a result of her skills, expe-

rience, commitment to her co-workers and patients, and understanding that she makes a difference.

Morris Hospital Emergency Department Director Tony Bucki appreciates Ames’s willingness to help.

“Donna is dedicated to the success of the Emergency Department and takes great pride in ensuring that the needs of the patients and staff are met,” Bucki said. “She has high standards for herself and expects the same in others.”

As Fire Starter of the Month, Ames received a Grundy County Chamber of Commerce gift certificate, a Morris Hospital logoed clothing item of her choice, a special “Fire Starter” Photo provided lapel pin, and a designated parking Donna Ames has been named fire starter of spot for the month. the month at Morris Hospital.

MORRIS – When Morris football coach Alan Thorson looks at this Saturday’s Class 5A playoff matchup against Marion (5-4), the last thing he sees is the Wildcats’ record.

Part of that is because the last time that his team made the playoffs, Morris also was a 5-4 team in 2014.

Back then, in their postseason, the Redskins beat an undefeated Normal U-High team on the road, as well as defeated a Mahomet-Seymour team that was 8-2 at the time.

After those two hurdles, Morris stumbled at Peoria High School, despite leading in the second half of the quarterfinal game, and eventually lost.

“It’s a new season,” Thorson said.

“That’s what we’ve been telling the kids. Everyone is 0-0 right now.

Some of the guys on this team were up with the varsity in 2014, so they remember us being a 5-4 team and going on the road and beating a 9-0 team.”

Marion started the season at 0-3, but has rebounded to win five of its past six games and has qualified for the playoffs for the 12th straight season.

The Wildcats are a team accustomed to winning, Thorson said.

“They have some good athletes,” Thorson said. “They had a couple of good running backs and a real quick receiver they like to throw to and give the ball to on counters and reverses. We are going to have to come out and play hard from the start like we have the last few weeks. If we let them hang around, they can be a dangerous team.”

Marion has had a string of successes, but they have not been as dominant on the scoreboard as Morris. For the season, the Redskins have outscored their opponents, 295108, compared with Marion’s 321-263.

“They run a lot of different formations and they like to run the ball, primarily,” Thorson said. “But they can be effective when they throw it. I would like to think that, with the schedule we have played, we are pretty well-prepared for either one. We’ve faced some power-running teams and some teams that like to spread the field, so we have seen pretty much everything they are going to throw at us.”

The Redskins will enter the game with a hot streak of their own, having won their previous three games with a combined score of 103-30.

“We want to go out there and build on our last three games,” Thorson said. “That was our best stretch of the regular season and every team

wants to be playing its best heading into the playoffs, which we think we are. We still have room to improve, but we have gotten better in the last three weeks. We want to keep riding that momentum and keep playing physical football.”

One thing working in Morris’ favor is the location of the game. The Redskins were 6-0 at home during the regular season.

“There’s something about playing at home,” Thorson said. “You have your routine. For one, we aren’t going to have to get on a bus and drive five hours like they will. There’s a comfortable feeling on your own field, in front of your own town. Our kids are comfortable and have a lot of confidence on their own field.”

38 CROSS COUNTRY: CLASS 2A MORRIS REGIONAL

Morris girls win school’s first regional title

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – History was made Saturday at Morris Community High School.

For the first time in the school’s history, a cross country team won a regional title as the Morris girls finished with 46 points at the Class 2A Morris Regional. The total was better than that of runner-up LaSalle-Peru’s finishing mark of 58 points.

“It feels really good to win the first title for the school,” Morris senior runner Sabrina Baftiri said. “Especially for us to do it on our own course. It definitely helped to have family and friends here to support us.

“This has been our goal since May 30. Now, we want to do good at the sectional next week and hopefully move on to the state meet in Peoria.”

Baftiri was the top runner for the Redskins, earning a fourth-place medal by completing the 3-mile course in 19:39.

Three other Morris runners placed in the top 10, as junior Madi Mayberry finished sixth in 19:48, junior Mya Shannon took eighth in 20:05 and senior Sophie Tibbott finished 10th in 20:18.

“Last May, we wrote down the goal of winning the regional,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “To watch it all unfold today was special. Yes, our girls received the plaque today, but the race was won over the summer. It’s no coincidence that the team that ran the most summer miles in history had the best chance of winning a regional. Sabrina continues to run very smart races.

Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com

The Morris girls cross country team poses with the first regional championship plaque in the school’s history. The Redskins won their own Class 2A regional title Saturday.

“Madi is back after a breathing/ dizziness scare. Sophie has had a great year and pushed her body to the limits.

Mya looked like freshman year Mya – confident, strong, competitive. Meghan was battling lung cramps all race, but gutted it out. That’s the mark of a champion – she ran a good race when she felt horrible. Lily and Casi put the pressure

on the other teams by going after the number fours, fives and sixes.”

Seniors Meghan Smith (18th, 21:24), Casi Valdes (22nd, 22:10) and Lily Tibbott (23rd, 22:15) rounded out the Morris contingent.

“I am so proud of their efforts, mental toughness, energy, focus and enthusiasm,” Blumberg said. “They were pre-

pared for today, and they deserve all the credit for that. I know L-P and Ottawa will be gunning for us next week, and we will start worrying about that Monday. But, we are going to celebrate this one. It’s a long time coming.

“Looking ahead, we are probably considered a bubble team to get to state.

I know there are six state-ranked teams ahead of us and others that are darn good. But with our maturity and focus, I don’t think we will have the so-called letdown after a big race/game. They’ve got one more chance to make some more school history.”

In the boys race, Morris finished second with 71 points, behind LaSalle-Peru’s winning total of 30.

Senior Zach Chapman finished fourth for the Redskins in 16:23, followed by senior Evan Olson (6th, 16:31), junior Zach Guzman (12th, 17:01), senior Shane McTague (22nd, 17:50), freshman Tony Pethtel (27th, 18:10), freshman Evan Olson (32nd, 18:18) and junior Wes Diaz (34th, 18:57).

“Last week at conference, we were too worried about our watches,” Blumberg said. “We challenged our guys to get in the mix today and race. I think if we run that race 10 times, L-P wins it 10 times. But our kids fought today on a sloppy, soft course. Chapman went out a little fast (2:30 half, 5:02 first mile). I think he wishes he had been a bit more conservative, but he’s got another week to run a perfect race and potentially qualify for state.”

Both Morris teams race at the Metamora Sectional next Saturday.

BOYS SOCCER CLASS 2A KANKAKEE REGIONAL: MORRIS 5, KANKAKEE 1

Morris boys spark hopes in regional championship win STAFF REPORTS KANKAKEE – Last season, Morris’ hopes for a four-year regional championship streak was snapped. Not so this year.

The Redskins got back on the regional title track Saturday, topping Kankakee, 5-1, to win the Class 2A Kankakee Regional. It is the fifth regional title in the past six years for the Redskins (8-11), who took on Bremen on Tuesday in the semifinals of the Providence Catholic Sectional.

The Redskins had just one goal in the first half, scored by Conner Shaw with 2:03 to play in the half, off an assist from Matt Samolis. The second half was a different story, as Shaw scored within the first 17 seconds with an assist from Colin Webber.

With 34:29 to play, Chris Martinez scored off an assist from Connor Mc-

Glynn before Samolis scored 10 minutes later, off an assist by Enestor Buenostro.

The final goal came from Martinez, who knocked in a rebound from a shot by McGlynn.

“This was an intense game from the beginning,” Morris coach David Valdivia said. “This was most physical game I’ve seen all year. The first half, I was frustrated, as we were playing their game of just sending the ball and not controlling the game.

“I am so proud of these guys who never gave up and are truly learning how to play the game of soccer. They gave it everything they had and never let down their ground. I am especially happy for Chris Martinez, who finally found the net. He has worked hard all year, and he finally pushed through a threshold and Shaw Media file photo got two goals.”

The Minooka boys soccer team will take on perennial power Peoria Notre Dame at 7 p.m.

Tuesday in the semifinals of the Notre Dame Sectional. hope to win their first sectional since 2007.

“At the start of the season, we were a little rough, but as it went on, our chemistry built and we started playing as a team,” goalkeeper Ooms said. “We’re the only four seniors so we had to help build a younger team and as the season went on, they matured greatly. We weren’t as physical as we are now. Now that we’re progressing, it’s exciting to play.

“We’ve all really bought into this program. Our coach’s big thing is to work hard every day, get better and

have fun, and that’s what we’re out here doing. We’re all so close and have really good personalities. We can joke around with each other without getting on anyone’s nerves, so we can be honest with each other. We’re ready to play anyone in the state.”

Considering the programs’ histories, Minooka enters as the underdog. The event’s other three teams have won 21 state trophies and played in 14 titles matches between them. But thanks to their close bond, the Indians like their chances against the perennial powers.

“We’ve been playing together since

MINOOKA – When the four seniors on this year’s Minooka boys soccer team were freshmen in 2013, their team advanced to the sectional finals, where they fell to Edwardsville, which went on to capture the Class 3A state championship.

As Grant Ooms, Noah St. Paul, Kyle Sparks and Austin Wielgosz close out their careers with the program, the Indians are back in the sectional for the first time since then and actually meet squads that are even more accomplished than the ones that they faced in 2013.

But after winning 10 of their last 11 matches to improve to 16-4 on the year, coach Chris Brolley’s Indians are feeling pretty good about where they are after beating Normal West, 4-0, in last Friday’s Moline Regional finals.

Minooka meets up with Peoria Notre Dame (12-7-2) at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the 3A Notre Dame Sectional. In the other semifinal at 6:30 p.m. at Belleville West, Collinsville faces Quincy. The winners play at 7 p.m. Friday in the sectional final in Peoria. The Indians not only look to once again play for the title, but also

we were 5 or 6,” center back St. Paul said. “Kyle and I were at the start of the Three Rivers Soccer Club and probably 75 percent of this team has played together for a very long time, so our chemistry has been built up over the years.

So once we all got to the varsity level, it just clicked right away.”

With Sparks and freshman Patrick Koenig leading the way in goals, the Indians feature an attack that will be useful against top-notch competition. That certainly applies for Notre Dame, which has won 198 matches, six trophies and three titles during the last 10 years.

“With us only having four seniors, I’m sure many teams didn’t think that we would be able to do anything,” forward Sparks said. “But we’ve been able to build from that and the younger kids have helped us out. I’ve been playing with a lot of these kids since I was young so I know what everyone is capable of.

We can trust anyone and we’re not afraid of any team.”

One of the team’s biggest strengths during its recent hot streak is its defensive play. The Indians yielded only nine goals in their last 11 matches, which will be important against an Irish team that has scored 20 goals during its sixmatch winning streak.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers call in some ducks and the next second, the veteran duck hunter scolded him for messing it up.

The novice put his call away, laid his gun down, and just sat there the rest of the morning.

I’ve lost contact with him, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he never waterfowl hunted again. What a shame.

There is a time and place for everything, and we need to make time to educate passionate, new, waterfowl hunters that it is OK to make mistakes.

A recent article in Illinois Game and Fish, by M.D. Johnson, talks about this issue.

He quotes veteran caller and call maker Field Hudnall. Hudnall says everyone, even beginners, must try.

mistakes will be made.

Oh, and don’t forget, sometimes the best call is no call at all.

As you listen to wild birds, especially ducks. How often do you hear them?

When they sound off, do they rip a call across the sky?

Or do they quack with a call that is barely audible? Pay attention to the dynamics, the frequency, and the mood of the bird.

Are they flying from point A to point B or are they checking a field?

Are they about to land on a pond or are they circling with dozens of other birds? Each situation elicits a variety of sounds and cadences.

The more you mimic what you hear, the more likely you are to experience success as a caller, but most importantly, have fun with it.

Good luck. Be safe.

And enjoy those waterfowl twisting down to your spread.

we’ve all heard – ‘If you’re not going to blow it right, don’t blow it at all,’” Hudnall said. “You have to learn what the call is capable of. You have to practice. You have to experiment.”

I think he put it perfectly. You cannot become that expert caller without actually spending time with the call.

Of course, the first time you squeeze off a hail shouldn’t be in the field.

Just like with any skill, taking time to practice at home is a must. Find a call that fits you and mess around with it.

Pay attention to what the birds sound like as you work in the yard, go for a walk, or hunt with other veteran waterfowlers. And don’t forget to ask someone to show you a few pointers.

That is exactly how I learned to call turkeys.

A friend sat with me one afternoon and showed me what he had learned.

In turn, I have passed that knowledge along to many new turkey hunters.

WEEK #7 WINNER Kurt Beutler, Plainfield, IL

• Thursday, October 27, 2016

This last weekend witnessed the opening of both goose and duck seasons in the Central Zone for the state of Illinois. For those who live or hunt in the North Zone, opening day occurred a week ago.

Numerous friends of mine are addicted to chasing waterfowl.

There is something about watching a flock of birds come in, with landing gear down, and take to a well-placed set of decoys that gets the heart racing.

The same can be said for a call that captures the attention of the birds and draws them to your spread.

Being able to communicate with nature is something not enough people experience.

Yet there is something intimidating about learning to call birds.

Novice waterfowlers are often nervous to cluck away while hunting with more seasoned callers. To them, the art of pulling in birds with a call seems mysterious and impossible.

I’ve hunted with guys in the past that perpetuated that myth.

FOOD

MORE CONTENT NOW In Angela Liddon’s previous life, there were chia seed doughnuts drizzled with coconut lemon whipped cream and decadent parfaits with homemade jams and hearty granolas for breakfast. At least once a week, the plant-based blogger and cookbook author dreamed up another breakfast.

But these days, breakfast is a bit more utilitarian and typically something that can be eaten on the run while Liddon, who is nine months pregnant, is chasing her 2-year-old daughter. Her second cookbook “Oh She Glows Every Day,” released earlier this month, captures that same spirit and offers easy ways to pack in nutrient-rich, meat- and dairyfree meals that are quick to prepare and, in many cases, can be made ahead of time. The cookbook features more than 100 recipes like fusilli lentil-mushroom Bolognese, roasted brussels sprouts with coconut bacon and curried chickpea salad.

And there are breakfast recipes as well, including black bean rancheros, a breakfast “ice cream” (with avocado in it) and PB&J thumbprint breakfast cookies that can be whipped up in 10 minutes.

The Associated Press recently talked with Liddon about her plantbased diet, her family and eating dessert.

On sticking with a plant-based lifestyle

“I used to eat a lot of packaged, low-calorie diet foods. I would buy the low-calorie frozen dinners all the time and just a lot of processed foods and, once I started eating all these plants and vegetables, I just found my mental energy was much more clear, I could focus on my work, I felt happier, I felt less anxious. For me, it was really discovering that I felt so crummy for a long time and I realized I could eat much more of this food and maintain my weight and have more energy.”

On how to transition to healthy eating

“It doesn’t have to be a black or white thing. You can try one recipe a week, maybe starting off with an easy recipe with something that only takes 15 minutes like my creamy avocado pasta recipe that’s really popular and it’s not as intimidating.

I think it’s just really getting in the kitchen and trying some food out and often people are really surprised by

how much they like it and that motivates them to keep going.

“Often you can win people over with dessert more than anything.

That’s a really good way to try to convince people without overwhelming people with an all-vegetable dish.”

On eating with kids

“Dinner’s been hard lately actually because my daughter is going through that picky toddler phase right now. We’ve been eating a lot of pasta lately, which is always good, but I’m starting to get really sick of it. She really likes a mix of marinara sauce with hummus all mixed together so the hummus makes it creamy and then I’ll use hemp hearts to boost the protein and she goes crazy for it.

“We had a whole group of kids testing the recipes so the kid-friendly recipes are indicated, too. The mac and peas and the veggie burgers were a big hit with adults and kids, and there’s a chili cheese nacho recipe that the kids really liked.”

On the cookie chapter

“I basically ate my weight in cookies for weeks and weeks, which was fun. The ultimate flourless brownie recipe, I must have tested them 30 or 35 times. ... I definitely have some

type of sweet every single day. I feel like when they’re homemade they’re just so much better for you. I find that I’m satisfied with a smaller amount.”

Creamy Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup Start to finish: 50 minutes Servings: 4

1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil 2 cups diced sweet onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 2 tablespoons red curry paste 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, plus more if needed 1/4 cup raw almond butter 3 cups diced peeled carrots (1/2-inch dice) 3 cups diced peeled sweet potatoes (1/2inch dice) 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) Freshly ground black pepper Minced fresh cilantro, roasted tamari almonds, fresh lime juice, to serve In a large pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Stir in the curry paste. In a

small bowl, whisk together some of the broth with the almond butter until smooth. Add the mixture to the pot, along with the remaining broth, carrots, sweet potatoes, salt and cayenne (if using). Stir until combined. Bring the soup to a low boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.

Ladle the soup carefully into a blender.

You likely will have to do this in a couple of batches, depending on the size of your blender. With the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape, blend on low and slowly increase the speed until the soup is completely smooth.

(Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender and blend the soup directly in the pot.)

Return the soup to the pot and season with salt and black pepper.

This soup will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week, and freezes well for 1 to 2 months.
