Long road trips and playoff football go hand in hand It was 1980.

A lot of things were popular then that people don’t even remember now. Like Farrah Fawcett, E.T., the Atari 2600 and velour shirts.

Willie Nelson’s hit “On the Road Again” was released and, oddly enough, it fit with what was the big thing going on in my life at the time, following the Morris High School football team.

You see, I was 11 years old in 1980 and the Redskins on the roster were my heroes.

The year before, they had finished second in the state and announced their presence on the state scene by winning at Geneseo in the playoffs. This was back when there were only five classes and 16 teams in each class made the playoffs. You won your conference or you watched the playoffs.

There was a movement sweeping through the town of Morris called Redskin Fever, and I caught it bad, just like most everyone. 1979 hadn’t ended well, as far as our football world went, certainly not

Rob Oesterle well enough to be immortalized in song

by Billy Corgan. We lost a 7-6 decision in the 3A title game to Mascoutah, thanks to an assisting the runner penalty called late in the game that negated a first down and knocked Morris out of field-goal range.

Anyway, 1980 was a new beginning.

Things were going to be different. But then the Redskins lost to Geneva and there was a lot of concern that we might not even make the playoffs. But then Plainfield beat Geneva in the final week of the regular season and Morris got into the playoffs.

But the first two games were away from home, with the theme of the season being Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again.”

After road wins over Bishop Mc-

Namara and Metamora, the Redskins returned home to shut out Plano, 34-0, in the 3A semifinals before going to Illinois State University’s Hancock Stadium to win the state title with a 40-0 thumping of Harrisburg. No matter the season or the playoff seeding, it seems like there’s always at least one long trip involved. In 1984, Morris had to travel to Bethalto Civic Memorial, 2001 saw a trip to Troy Triad, 2005’s road included a visit to Crystal Lake South, 2012 to Washington, just to name a few.

Another trip to Triad, just on this side of St. Louis, is in the offing for Morris this weekend. It’s one of the longer trips they can make and remain in the state, but a long trip to a playoff football game is as sure a sign of fall as colored leaves and pumpkin spice-flavored everything.

Here’s hoping it’s a productive trip.

Skluts Menswear to sell entire inventory, close doors after 88 years as Morris retail icon

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For as long as most men who live in Morris can remember, one of the things they could count on was where to get a suit or some dress clothes.

It was simple. Skluts Menswear, 307 Liberty St. From weddings to funerals to prom or homecoming or just general dress to dress-casual type of clothes, Skluts has been the go-to store for Morris men.

However, the local retail icon, which has been doing business in downtown Morris for almost 90 years, will sell its entire inventory and close its doors as owner Jim Riebe brings his own 50-year retail career to an end.

“I’m going to miss our customers, but you know when it’s time. No one can do something forever,” Riebe said. “Someone told me that you should retire when you can – not when you can’t. I think that was great advice and I know this is the right time to do it while I can pursue some other interests.”

The store’s inventory sale opens to the public on Wednesday, Riebe said. Skluts Menswear will be open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday

Grundy County farmers look for cover crops, no plowing to benefit their fields

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Harvest season is ending with local farmers pulling in the last of their crops; they are preparing for the winter ahead.

For some, that means plowing the fields to prepare them for spring.

For others, that means getting to work at the farm finishing up work that needs to be done before snow and cold weather sets in. And to some, that means planting.

Matt Boucher, a Dwight farmer, said the idea of planting in fall may seem foreign to some, but the data show that it is beneficial.

“The broad goal is to keep something living in the soil at all times,” Boucher said. “It decreases erosion and brings the nutrients up to the root zone, where you want them when you plant your crop in spring.”

According to the University of Illinois department of agriculture’s farmdoc.com article “Costs and Benefits of Cover Crops: An Example with Cereal Rye,” “... cover crops are considered one of the most effective in-field practices farmers can use to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus losses, keeping those nutrients out of streams and lakes.”

Boucher said that by keeping the nutrients in the field, farmers can spend less time adding them back in each year, which is just one of the benefits.

He said each farmer’s decision to use them needs to be based on goals they set, which could be weed control, keeping or adding nutrients to the soil naturally, or using fewer chemicals on their field.

As an example of weed control, Boucher said that this year Grundy County farmers have faced water hemp and mare’s tail.

Both are hard to control.

“You are basically planting a weed you can control to get rid of a weed you can’t control,” Boucher said. “Cereal rye we can control easily, and it can choke out other weeds.”

He said the choices in cover crops are made based on the goals for the field.

Some loosen soils, some absorb nutrients, and when they are killed, the nutrients return to the soil around them.

He said there is no one cover crop to recommend for everything, and he often helps local farmers choose between specialized blends that can include rye, oats, tillage radishes and purple-top turnips.

As the field is getting ready to harvest, the cover crop seeds are flown in, or after a crop is harvested, the seeds are drilled in, depending on the crop and its purpose.

The difference between a cover crop and the corn or soybeans is the cover crop is not harvested for profit or feed.

Instead, as spring approaches, the field is sprayed and the cover crop is killed.

The farmer doesn’t plow the field; instead he plants right into the dead cover crop.

“If you are planting a Roundup Ready crop, everyone is concerned with how much chemical is being used by the farmer. Cover crops require less chemicals,” Boucher said.

He said a traditional Roundup Ready crop in Grundy County may

CREATIVITY ON DISPLAY

Morris Lions Club hosts annual costume contest

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Children in costumes marched down Liberty Street in Morris on Thursday, fighting off the chill of the fall weather with coats over and under their costumes.

Despite the chilly temperatures, the Grundy County Courthouse lawn filled with pirates, scarecrows and even a toy soldier.

“I like the movie ‘Goosebumps,’ ” 8-year-old McKay Gleeson said about his book-inspired costume that depicted the cover of “Night of the Living Dummy.”

The children in their creative Halloween costumes compete for prizes annually at the Morris Lions Club Costume Contest, and this year did not disappoint.

Costumes are judged on originality, cuteness and on being unique, according to Lion Judy Miller, who said there are always some hard decisions for the judges as they chose grand-prize winners in each of seven age groups, followed by first-, second- and third-place finishers.

Originality tends to do well.

This year saw Maleia Poett, dressed as the Morton Salt Girl in the 3- to 4-yearold age bracket, and Maya Donaldson, 3, dressed in a traditional Day of the Dead outfit with a butterfly decorating her sugar skull painted cheek.

After the contest concluded, the donuts, Slurpee, macaroni and cheese and caramel apple costumed children took to the streets of downtown Morris, where retailers handed them hands full of sweet treats.

At First Presbyterian Church, the children were invited to have a cup of hot chocolate to warm up before going to the annual trunk or treat, which coincides with the evenings Halloween festivities.

Minooka celebrates Halloween with annual costume parade

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – They had something special to wear anyway, so why not have a parade?

The Minooka Halloween Costume Parade on Saturday gave kids and adults an extra opportunity to wear their costumes.

For kids it meant an extra day for treats, too, as candy was thrown from floats and by marchers in the annual parade.

“Candy – lots and lots of candy,” said William Stadler, 7, dressed as a hot dog, when asked what he liked about the parade.

“I think it’s a fun, hometown parade,” said Mahryha Iwema of Channahon, who had a son marching in the parade.

“It’s just festive and gets everyone in the mood.”

Later in the evening there would be a bonfire and weinie roast as Minooka got into the Halloween and autumn spirit.

Parade weather was sunny and in the 70s. Kids in costumes lined Wabena Avenue to see the parade and wait for candy, much of which was thrown by kids in costumes in the parade. About 600 people marched in the parade, including about 100 with Mrs. Mariellen’s Preschool, a traditional parade participant.

“My grandson is in the Minooka band, and my granddaughters are in Mrs. Mari-

ellen’s Preschool,” Kelly Riley of Joliet said, telling what brought her to Minooka. “We just like Minooka. It’s a great little town.”

Small-town spirit is what the Halloween Costume Parade is all about, said parade organizer and founder Laurie Musclow, who also is parks and recreation director for the village of Minooka.

“I just wanted the kids to be able to dress up,” Musclow said. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Halloween costumes cost enough that kids should be able to wear them more than on Halloween night, she said.

“I think everybody has a good time.

The kids are happy to be here,” Musclow said.

Kelly Thompson said parade day is “a good time to be able to dress up one more time and get candy.”

“We are here every year,” said Jesus Martinez, who couldn’t miss it Saturday.

His granddaughter, Lilyana Martinez, told him that she would be in the parade.

“She would be very disappointed if I were not here,” Jesus said.

There were 25 entries in the parade, including the Minooka Community High School Marching Indians, which played “Thriller.” Before the band arrived, a loudspeaker at Wabena Avenue and East Mondamin Street played spooky favorites such as the themes from “Ghost-

Chris Jarzyna’s daughter, Madeline Jarzyna, was marching with Duggan’s Family Martial Arts.

“This is our first time [at the parade], although we’ve lived here since 2003,” Chris said. “It turned out to be a real nice day.”

The first Halloween Costume Parade

was greeted with snow eight years ago.

Still, people came and lined the street, which may have convinced Musclow that the parade had a future.

“Have a happy and fun Halloween,” Musclow said to the crowd over the loudspeaker as the parade ended. “Thanks for coming out today. I don’t know if next year it will be 73 [degrees]. I hope so.”

State Senator Sue Rezin was the chief co-sponsor of legislation that will leave working families with smaller paychecks.

(SB-1046 eliminates prevailing wage) Was Sue Rezin awarded a leadership position (minority whip) in return for her support of Governor Rauner’s anti-worker agenda? Did Sue help herself while leaving working families vulnerable?

Morris Lions Club Classic Car Show attracts thousands

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Despite an early morning downpour, about 10,000 spectators filled LyondellBasell Recreation Area to admire more than 1,000 cars that roared into the park in the early morning hours on Sunday.

“I have to say I was down and out this morning. I was up at 2:30 a.m. to have breakfast before I had to come out and I saw stars in the sky. Then 20 minutes later, the rain came out. At 5 a.m. there was drizzle and then it stopped.

Some of these car guys don’t like to bring their cars out in bad weather,” car show coordinator Doug Linn said.

Sunday marked the 30-year tradition of the Morris Lions Club Fall Classic Car Show, which drew large crowds to see the classic cars, hot rods, shop the car corral for a new car and search the swap meet for those hard to find parts.

Among the spectators, judges cruised up and down the aisles to rate the vehicles within the 43 classes, such as original restored, modified, street rod, street coupe, sedan, roaster and special classes such as Mustang, Corvette, special interest and truck classes, Linn said.

“We show our 1977 Chevy pickup,

Heads turned as this modified 1931 Ford Model A turned into LydonellBasell Recreation Area on Sunday during the Morris Lions Club Fall Classic Car Show. Owner Bob Yorkman of Mokena said that the Bonnie-and-Clyde-type car has been his project for three years. but we have never been to this car show,” Donna Cook of Pontiac said.

“Oh my goodness, it’s huge. We don’t know which way to go around here. We just started looking at cars and we are

already in paradise.”

Each fall, the Morris Lions Club uses the car show for a fundraiser to fulfill its mission to help the community, especially the blind and deaf and

also help the schools, scholarships, parks, police department and fire department, Morris Lions Club President Sandy Sowers said.

One of the major fundraisers at the show was the raffle car, which was found at the Volo Auto Museum in northern Illinois, Morris Lions Club member Tom Kinzler said. Kinzler said he and a group of eight members looked at over 3,000 cars to find a nice car, purchase and sell raffle tickets at car shows.

“This car is a 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Tribute car and 100 percent of the profits from this car go back into our local community,” Kinzler said.

Kinzler said that on top of the many community organization and scholarships the club provides, this year the club has decided to partner with Habitat for Humanity and plant over 300 trees in tornado-devastated areas.

He said that the car raffle provides $20,000-$25,000 each year, with a total of $40,000 for the entire car show, and an average of $150,000 was raised each year by the Morris Lions Club to fund its giving.

This year’s show was held two weeks later than the normal date, but will resume its normal scheduled date of the second Sunday in October for the 2017 show, which falls on Oct. 8.

Brennan recognized Will County Board member Don Gould, R-Shorewood, who was in the audience, for helping to push through the project.

“This has been a long-term project the board has been working on, long before most of us were here,” Village Administrator Dan Duffy said.

Work could conceivably begin this fall if weather permits.

MINOOKA – An intergovernmental agreement with the state of Illinois, along with more than $500,000 in matching grant funds, means the village of Minooka will finally be able to begin construction on the first half of the Three Rivers Bike Trail.

Village trustees approved the agreement Tuesday, along with engineering services with Robinson Engineering.

Discussion of a bike trail that would keep bicyclists and walkers safely off McEvilly Road and eventually connect to Channahon began back in 1999.

While the village would have liked to get funding for the entire project, it ended up with funding for half of it – the first half, Minooka Mayor Pat Brennan said.

The first half will connect Lions Park to Rivers Edge Drive.

The state will cover 80 percent of the cost of the phase through the Illinois Transportation Enhancement

Airgas celebrates opening of air separation unit “It takes a lot of people to make a project like this happen.

When we met with the county and the Village of Minooka, we saw a great fit.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Airgas Inc., an Air Liquide company, celebrated the opening of its new air separation unit in Minooka on Tuesday with community members and public officials.

“What I like is that they (Airgas) have become partners with out great community, another partner is what we need,” Minooka Mayor Pat Brennan said at the event.

Airgas is the leading U.S. supplier of industrial, medical, and specialty gases and related products.

The new plant, which produces more than 500 tons of oxygen, nitrogen, argon and ultra high purity oxygen a day, increases Airgas’ production capabilities in the Chicago area, enhancing the company’s gas supply chain and ensuring long-term reliability of supply for merchant gas customers in the region, according to a news release from the company.

Tom Thoman, president of Airgas Merchant Gases LLC, said there is a great need for the products they supply in the Midwest, and the Minooka plant is ideally located to service current and future customers.

State Sen. Sue Rezin hosts youth council

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Several students from throughout the 38th Senate District participated in a hands-on Youth Advisory Council hosted by State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, on Thursday, Oct. 27.

The event was the second held by Rezin to give youth the opportunity to see how state and local government works as well as to learn leadership skills.

“The first time was last spring, when I invited the high schools to invite students to join the leadership council,” Rezin said. “They came down to Springfield in the spring and got to see how it works firsthand.”

The second meeting was held in Morris at the Morris City Hall Community Room, where students were able to meet with and hear from business leaders, politicians, and former University of St. Francis head basketball coach Pat Sullivan.

“It’s incredibly uplifting to see so many young people engaged in public policy and enthusiastic about potentially dedicating their careers to it,” Rezin said.

“Whether it’s on the local, state, or national level, we need good leaders. I hope this Youth Advisory Council reinforced their interest in this field, taught them

that is shared in sports as well as in leadership.”

Students also spent time in small groups discussing and debating policy issues important to them and how any new proposal could face challenges or become successful legislation.

During the discussions, Sen. Rezin spent time with each small group, asking students questions about their proposed policy change and how they would advocate for their issue.

“Last January, I wanted to delve deeper into legislation, I don’t know a lot about it,” said Chris Duffy from Morris Community High School. “I wanted to know more and what I learned is at the end of the day everyone is human, not all decisions are easy.”

Students also heard from state. Rep. Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com David Welter, R-Morris, Tyler Diers, diState Sen.

Do you support any part of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda? Explain.

Benson: I do support some elements of the Turnaround Agenda. I also am willing to compromise on certain Turnaround Agenda items, but it is critical that these items not be part of budget negotiations. However, I do support allowing workers’ compensation issues to be negotiated between union leaders and the governor.

This is an important issue where both sides will have to make compromises; parties shouldn’t just disagree and walk away from the table. We’re already seeing results from the 2011 worker’s compensation reform.

One issue we need to fix is not all insurance companies are passing on to the purchasers these savings and we need to make sure these savings are passed on. I support an increase in minimum wage.

Rezin: I know that there is broad support in the 38th District for issues like term limits and fair maps. I am supportive of ideas like these.

Illinois state pensions are underfunded by more than $110 billion, worst in the nation.

One pension reform law has been thrown out as unconstitutional.

What’s your plan to reform the state’s pension systems?

Discussion has also focused on shifting the cost to the local level, but how the local level is to fund this could place a heavier burden on property taxes.

Rezin: I l l i n o i s ’ pension system is broken. For years, Benson: We need the state has chronspeedy and sustainically underfunded able pension reform this system leading that will pass constitutional muster.

There are

three qualities needed for developing innovative business and residential districts: an educated and skilled workforce, open land, and easy access.

The 38th District has all three qualities. We should play to our strengths, which includes a highly skilled and educated workforce that can easily roll into jobs. There already are examples of the intermodal transportation hubs, which have brought a mix of technical and blue-collar jobs into the district.

We have open land, [which] purchased at fair market value will provide areas of space that are needed for infrastructure and development. We have access to transportation/industrial corridors via interstate, canal and railways.

Also unique to our district are the eco-tourism areas due to state parks and conservation areas. We must remain diversified, remembering businesses, agriculture, utilities, education and residential must function together. This will raise our tax base, lower unemployment and increase buying power.

Rezin: I will continue to fight to rein in out-of-control state spending and push for balanced budgets.

I will do what I can to bring good-paying jobs to our area, and work to reform our state’s broken school funding formula to get more money to local students.

Firefighters watch smoke settle Friday morning after putting out a structure fire at 603 Brentwood Drive.

MORRIS – The Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District responded to a house fire Friday, but a trio of Good Samaritans beat them to the scene.

The occupants and their dogs were able to escape the fire, which occurred about 8:30 a.m. Friday at 603 Brentwood Drive, via a second-story window onto the roof.

That’s when three employees of TouchDown Services in Joliet, who were working in the area, came to the rescue.

Casey Knight, Nick Christopher and Dennis Fau had just finished yard work nearby when they saw smoke coming from the home.

“We cut a couple of properties in Morris and we had just finished one when we [saw] smoke coming from the house,” Knight said. “I said, ‘It doesn’t seem right,’ so we went to investigate.”

He said that when they pulled up to the home, they found a couple and the dogs on the roof.

“The fire department wasn’t there yet, so we knew we needed to help,” Knight said.

He said he backed his work truck and trailer into the driveway and put a ladder up to the trailer. They then helped the family and dogs off the roof to safety.

“This was a very fast-moving, dangerous fire that could have had a different outcome had the family not be able to self-rescue themselves to the roof and the passerby stopping to rescue them from the roof,” Fire Chief Tracey Steffes said in a news release.

Knight said the police asked him and his co-workers to move so they wouldn’t be in the way of the firefighters when they arrived, so after waiting for a while to make sure everyone was OK, they went back to work.

According to the news release, the first engine company arrived in less than five minutes and was faced with a heavy amount of fire on the first floor with visible fire venting from windows at the rear of the home.

A tower ladder was ordered to the roof over the seat of the fire to cut a ventilation hole. The fire was brought under control in 15 minutes.

No one was injured and estimated damage is $300,000.

Steffes said the cause of the fire is not suspicious and started in the rear enclosed porch.

Illinois House District 75

The Herald-News sent candidates in contested races questionnaires seeking their views on a variety of issues. Below are responses to four questions from Illinois House District 75 candidates David Welter, R-Morris, and Martha Shugart, D-Morris.

Visit TheHerald-News.com/election-central to read all responses in this race and other ontested races on local ballots.

Do you support hikes to balance Illinois’ budget? Explain.

restore confidence in Illinois government, we must impose term limits for legislators and senators. I Welter: A tax increase in Illinois will not solve also agree with consolidating units of government anything. In January 2011, Illinois Democrats passed where it makes sense, like the governor’s proposal a record tax increase that was packaged and sold as to combine the office of treasurer and comptroller, a “sure thing to save education” to get Illinois out saving $12 million annually from merely two units of the fiscal mess that Madigan and the Dems have consolidating into one. We have nearly 7,000 units of perpetuated. It did nothing to save education, solve government in Illinois and reform is long overdue.

Shugart: I would be open to looking at term limits, the unfunded pension crisis or lower property taxes.

Illinois cannot tax its residents to get out of debt. but in what manner does the Turnaround Agenda Tough decisions have to be made. It’s time to stop help the middle class? I do not want to negatively implaying politics in Springfield, roll our sleeves up pact hardworking middle class families. I have yet to see how this agenda helps those families. and get to work.

I held the line on taxes when we faced fiscal challenges in Grundy County. Real reform must take Illinois’ state pensions are underfunded by more than $110 billion, worst in the nation. place before I will ever consider new taxes.

Shugart: I am in support of the graduated income One pension reform law has been thrown tax and the millionaires tax. Both taxes are fairer out as unconstitutional. What’s your plan to than the system that we currently have in Illinois reform the state’s pension systems?

Welter: There is no denying that Illinois’ pension today. debt is “crowding out” funding for vital basic services. For decades politicians gave out sweetheart Do you support any part of Gov. Bruce deals in exchange for short-term political gain; now Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda? Explain.

Welter: Illinois has the second-highest property we are footing the bill for their shortsightedness. The taxes in the nation; I agree with the governor that state employees are not to blame for this mess, the we must freeze property taxes. Illinois has the lon- politicians are. As stated by the courts, all benefits gest-serving speaker of the house in American his- earned are guaranteed by the Illinois Constitution. tory; Madigan’s leadership has led us into a fiscal We must begin by stopping the bleeding; new emnightmare and seemingly endless debt. In order to ployees should be allowed to contribute to their own

defined contribution retirement savings plan like a 401(k) or 403(b) if they choose. Anyone who suggests there is a quick fix to the pension crisis simply isn’t telling you the truth. We will have to work within the confines of court rulings to craft a workable pension reform that protects retirees, those near retirement and taxpayers who are already paying too much to Illinois’ dysfunctional government.

Shugart: We have to operate within the framework of the state constitution. I would push for the previously mentioned graduated income tax and the millionaires tax. The system is underfunded due to the state skipping pension payments and the lack of revenue to pay into the system.

What project in your district, unrelated to tax or budget issues, will be your top priority if elected?

Welter: We have great infrastructure in the 75th and we need to make sure that our roads, bridges and railways are well maintained. With that being said, I will also fight to make sure that projects that have no benefit, or harm the 75th district, are stopped (like the Rock Island Clean Line and Great Lakes Basin Railroad).

Shugart: Creation of good paying jobs. Lowering the property tax burden. I think we need to take a look at the education equalization formula especially when it comes [to] funding per pupil.

The village has been refunding general obligation bonds since 2011, refinancing at lower rates to save money.

The most recent refunding has saved a net $309,000 and is the last large bond the village has left, Finance Director John Harrington said.

Financial adviser Kevin McCanna of Speer Financial said the village was able to procure the lower rate because it has maintained a good bond rating at AA-.

Trustee Barry Thompson recog-

nized Harrington for a job well done in saving the village money.

“He really pays attention to see where we can make good savings,” Thompson said.

In other business, trustees approved the following: purchase of a snowplow through the Lake County Joint Purchase Agreement in the amount of $155,655; a police pension funding policy; an intergovernmental agreement with Grundy County for animal control services; and an employee medical leave without pay policy.

The board also recognized the Minooka Junior High baseball team for winning the Illinois Elementary School Association 2016 Class 3A state championship baseball title.

Adan Godinez was shot in the leg but survived. No officers were injured. Police found a Sig Sauer P229 where Adan Godinez fell, and officers

found a loaded Smith & Wesson 9 millimeter in the back waistband of Fernando Godinez’s pants, according to previous Herald-News reports, which stated that Fernando Godinez also had another clip in his pocket.

Both defendants were arrested in the parking lot, and have remained in custody without bond.

The charges against Adan Godinez carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 35 years in prison, and a maximum sentence of life, the news release stated. The charges against Fernando Godinez are punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years, and a maximum of life.

• CROPS

Continued from page 3 have three applications, once in the spring before they plant, once in the middle of summer, and then some farmers spray in the fall to kill weeds that grow annually.

The cover crop is killed by a glyphosate-based weed killer. Glyphosate is the generic name for Roundup. Then, because the cover crop is blocking sunlight to weeds or taking up root space, basically choking out the weeds, the farmer does not need to spray again.

“In a bean field, you would spray the cover crop the day before you plant, plant into the crop while it’s still green, the beans will grow through it, you won’t spray again,” Boucher said. “You’ve gone from spraying two to three times to just once in the spring, and you don’t spray the crop itself.”

Boucher said that the use of cover crops has continued to grow locally, and he has seen cover crop sales double every year since his company, Potential Ag, started selling them.

He said the practice is a long-term thing, which will take two to four years to start seeing a difference in yield.

“In one year, you won’t see a change yield-wise,” he said.

Matt Boucher used both planes and helicopters to cover crops in fields in Grundy and Livingston counties.

He said that side-by-side comparisons in test fields at his farm show that there is other noticeable difference besides yield, including the health and size of the beans.

He said the other place there is a

noticeable difference is in the soil tests.

The health of the soil continues to improve with less product needing to be added.

Boucher said there is a new motto

among many farmers, “Don’t farm naked.” Even if a farmer chooses not to try cover crops, the days of tilling are going away, and they are encouraged to not plow the field at the end of the harvest.

“We cater to the dental coward in you!”

POSITIVELY GOOD When one is injured or physically impaired, negative thoughts can fill the mind. Individuals dwell on all the things that can no longer be done independently. Caregivers in the home try to divert negative thoughts by making positive observations such as, “You can walk farther today than you did yesterday!” No matter what the situation is, the caregiver will try to give it a positive spin. By talking and acting in positive ways about activities and procedures, caregivers help their senior clients adjust better to their present situations.

Fortunately, it is difficult for the mind to concentrate on two things at once, so when positive words and phrases are used, negative ones are pushed aside.

A positive and cheerful presence can do a world of good to a senior who is aging in place. If you are worried about your loved one becoming isolated or depressed, please call At Home Quality Care. Our caregivers can provide the physical help that your loved one needs as well as the emotional lift and constant companionship that can improve their mental health. If you have any questions, please call 815-942-1256. We are here to help you both. We are located at 519 N. Franklin St., Ste. 203 in Morris.

those customers. However, no more new clothes will be coming into the store. Skluts Menswear was founded in 1928 by Abe Sklut, and employed several generations of family members over the years. It was taken over by his brother, Harry Sklut and nephew, Ben Sklut.

Riebe’s own career in retail began as a high school student, when he was hired for a part-time job in the men’s department at a Carson Pirie Scott store. After attending Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, he entered Carson Pirie Scott’s management program.

“I was a store buyer, assistant manager and manager, but always thought I’d like to own my own store,” Riebe said.

The businessmen got together and Riebe purchased Skluts in 1985. Skluts continued to thrive, thanks to the Morris area’s strong economic base and the community’s commitment to its downtown merchants.

“I just can’t say enough about how important the support our community and public officials has been to the downtown and to our business over many years,” Riebe said. “Things like the 3 French Hens Market, Cruise Nights and Home for the Holidays real-

ly help to keep people connected to the downtown. It’s a commitment you don’t see in a lot of communities.”

While big-box stores took their toll on independent men’s clothing stores across the country, Skluts more than held its own due its personal touch.

“Customer focus has been our big salvation,” Riebe said. “You go through happy and sad times with the same people. Sometimes you are doing a wedding for a family and sometimes a funeral, but you stay connected with the people and they stay connected with you. I have seen plenty of men bring their sons in for their first suit, and then those sons bring their own sons in.”

Riebe said he has enjoyed many different interactions with customers through the years at Skluts.

“You start off with customers, and they end up becoming your friends,” he said. “I’ll miss the people a lot but, as I told my wife, we’ll go on to the next chapter in our lives, and it’s going to be wonderful, too.

“We just haven’t had a real vacation in about 20 years. You get in a routine.

There’s prom season, then wedding season, then graduation season, then Father’s Day, then the apparel shows.

It’s a grind, and even though the heart and mind might be willing, the body needs a break. I love this place, but I also don’t want it to be the last place I see.”

‘NOTHING IS A GUARANTEE’

A closer look at Grundy County farming life through the eyes of Jeff Bleuer

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent Jeff Bleuer of Channahon compares a life in farming to a visit to Las Vegas.

“It’s like rolling the dice, because nothing is a guarantee,” he said.

For six generations the Bleuer family has farmed land in Grundy, Kendall and Will counties of Illinois.

The fields are primarily corn and soybeans, but with new technologies and farm-to-table trends, the sixth-generation farmer, Jeff Bleuer, wants to take the farm a step further, so his son and daughters can pass on the legacy.

“My dad, Bob Bleuer is 68 and its time for him to slow down, so I thought I would take a stab at the farm. I want to enjoy going to work every day and I love what I do,” Jeff said. “Less than 2 percent of our population is involved in agriculture, but we feed the world.”

Jeff Bleuer, who grew up in the Plainfield area, moved to Channahon in the 1990s, graduated from Minooka Community High School, and left for college. He received an agriculture business degree from Joliet Junior College and a bachelor’s of animal science degree from Illinois State University.

Jeff had always helped his father farm, but took jobs outside of the family farm, and now has farmed as a career for two years.

“The farm my parents are on now is the same farm my mom, Pat, grew up on, and we farm about 1,500 acres in the three counties,” Bleuer said.

Although this year’s harvest did not prove to be record setting, Bleuer said, the yields have been good this year, which can drop the commodity prices. He said that in the winter, he and his father met with their crop adviser to come up with a plan on what to plant on each farm site, research chemical and fertilizer costs, buy seed and, if at all possible, pre-pay for products while the prices are low because prices tend to fluctuate with demand.

Bleuer said he chose to pre-sell 75 percent of his soybean crop and 50 percent of his corn crop.

In order to take the family farm into the next generation, Bleuer has a goal of doubling the amount of acres they currently plant, as well as add more beef cattle, chickens and vegetables.

Restaurants and homes alike have grasped a farm-to-table food trend, so his wife, Tricia, and children ran farmstands around Channahon to sell fresh vegetables during the summer months.

They also sell fall home décor, which consisted of cornstalks, straw bales, and pumpkins and gourds.

Chamber’s new membership director says hello

My name is Samantha Yeager-Walrath. I am the new membership director for the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry. I am a 2013 graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and a minor in journalism.

I recently moved to Morris from Bettendorf, Iowa, but I am originally from a small town about two hours northwest of Grundy County called Fulton. Growing up in a small town, I always felt a sense of community.

And although living in a larger area like the Quad Cities or Chicago was great to experience, it didn’t provide that sense of belonging. My husband and I were looking to move somewhere that provided the best of both worlds. We now call Morris home because it provides that sense of community, but it also provides plenty for us to do in the area. We

VIEWS Samantha Yeager-Walrath have only been living here for about a month, but it really has felt like home.

Before starting at the Chamber, I was a leasing agent at an apartment complex in Bettendorf. I also have experience working with various nonprofits.

I was the office manager at Living Lands & Waters, an environmental nonprofit based out of East Moline.

The organization spends nine months out of the year living on a barge and cleaning up America’s rivers.

I planned their annual Barge Party, wrote grants for the organiza-

tion, and ran the office. I also worked at PAWS Chicago, a no-kill animal shelter based in Chicago. I started there as an intern and became their communications assistant for a short period of time as I helped with their events, as well as their various communications, including social media and press releases.

I started as membership director at the Chamber on Oct. 10 and have been diligently working to meet as many current members as possible. I am enjoying getting to know the local businesses and people in the community.

I am looking forward to meeting even more new faces as the weeks progress and networking with everyone at the next Business after Hours that will be held at Heartland Bank from 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 17 in Minooka.

When not working, I am an avid

reader and especially enjoy reading mysteries and thrillers. I also love being crafty and trying out as many Pinterest crafts as possible, spending time with my husband, Logan, our beagle, Jefferson, and our tabby cat, Sega, and I would love to start volunteering at a few local nonprofits.

If I haven’t gotten the chance to swing by and meet you yet, please don’t hesitate to drop in and see me at the office or one of the Chamber’s upcoming events.

Morris Hospital recognized with straight ‘A’s’ for patient safety SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers is one of 72 hospitals in the nation to earn straight “A’s” on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade since the inception of the program in 2012. Issued twice a year, the latest and 10th Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade was made public on Oct. 31.

“Earning Straight ‘As’ in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is a remarkable achievement and testament to a hospital’s ongoing vigilance and commitment to patient safety,” Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, said in a news release. “We thank Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers for being an example of excellence in preventing harm to patients and urge them to continue championing patient safety.”

Developed under the guidance of an expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to indicate how well hospitals protect patients from preventable errors, injuries and infections by assigning A, B, C, D and F grades to U.S. hospitals twice a year.

The grade is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public.

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety

Grade is becoming the gold standard measure of patient safety as cited in MSNBC, The New York Times, and AARP The Magazine.

“Being one of 72 hospitals in the nation to earn straight A’s 10 consecutive times clearly demonstrates that patient safety is absolutely a top priority for our organization,” Mark Steadham, president & CEO of Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers, said in the release.

“We are so proud of our staff and the physicians at Morris Hospital, and we are thrilled that they are being recognized for their commitment to patient safety,” Steadham said. “Every day, they are focused on reducing infection rates, having checks in place to prevent mistakes, and ensuring we have strong lines of communication between staff, patients and families. This is how we protect patients from errors, injuries, accidents and infections.”

Specifically, Steadham says the Hospital Safety Grade is looking at outcome measures such as infections, falls and trauma, and preventable complications from surgery, as well as process and structural measures including strong nursing leadership and engagement, use of computerized physician order entry to prevent medication errors, hand hygiene policies, and adherence to medical and medication protocols that prevent complications.

“Our employees are encouraged to report safety issues so we can fix processes and procedures before they reach a patient,” Steadham said. “Every day, employees representing most every department from throughout our organization gather for a quick safety huddle so we can alert others to potential safety issues, whether it’s two patients who have the same last name or a potential environmental hazard that needs to be corrected. We even have an electronic data entry system that all employees and physicians are encouraged to use to report problems so issues can be investigated. This is how we keep safety at the forefront.”

To see Morris Hospital’s full grade, or to access consumer-friendly tips for patients, visit www.hospitalsafetygrade.org or follow The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade on Twitter and Facebook.

Consumers also can download the free Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade mobile app for Apple and Android devices.

About The Leapfrog Group

Founded in 2000 by large employers and other purchasers, The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization driving a movement for giant leaps forward in the quality and safety of American health care.

The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey collects and transparently re-

ports hospital performance, empowering purchasers to find the highest-value care and giving consumers the lifesaving information they need to make informed decisions.

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, Leapfrog’s other main initiative, assigns letter grades to hospitals based on their record of patient safety, helping consumers protect themselves and their families from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections.

Serving patients at 24 locations in 11 communities, Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers includes the 89bed Morris Hospital, as well as physician offices in Braidwood, Channahon, Dwight, Gardner, Marseilles, Mazon, Morris, Newark, Ottawa and Yorkville.

Morris Hospital is a Level II trauma center, a Level II perinatal care provider with an intermediate care nursery, and a Primary Stroke Center.

OPINIONS

During any given campaign season, one or maybe two state legislative campaigns wind up running ads on Chicago broadcast TV stations. But in the age of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s gigantic campaign contributions, it may be easier to count the number of Chicago-area candidates who aren’t running any city broadcast ads.

State Rep. Michael McAuliffe (R-Chicago) started the trend by airing Chicago broadcast TV ads at the beginning of August – an act completely without precedent in the General Assembly. Chicago broadcast ads are so expensive that campaigns usually don’t start airing them until mid to late October.

The ads also are incredibly inefficient.

The Chicago media market has about 7.9 million people aged 12 or older, as measured by the ratings companies.

Four years ago, during the last presidential cycle, a total of 38,748 votes were cast in McAuliffe’s race. So, when McAuliffe and other House candidates air these ads, they’re aiming them at only about half a percentage point of the entire media market. It’s actually much lower than that because most people have already made up their minds by now. So, it’s like using a hydrogen bomb to kill a tiny gnat.

Just last week, the cash-rich Republicans went up on Chicago broadcast TV in five legislative races: Rod Drobinski vs. Rep. Sam Yingling (D-Grayslake), who also made a broadcast buy late last week; Rep. Chris Winger (R-Wood Dale) vs. Cynthia Borbas, who has been up on Chicago broadcast for a little while with an ad blasting Winger for her social conservatism; Rep. David Olsen (R-Downers Grove), who is fending off a late cable TV buy from Greg Hose; Steve Reick, who’s up against John Bartman, who just launched cable ads in retiring McHenry County Democratic Rep. Jack Franks’ district; and Michelle Smith vs. Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant (D-Shorewood), who also is on Chicago broadcast.

Keep in mind, those are just the latest to air the ads. Plenty of others were already on Chicago broadcast.

Both candidates in the Rep. Kate Cloonen (D-Chicago) race have been airing broadcast TV, as have both in Democratic Rep. Andy Skoog’s LaSalle County-area race and both in Democratic Sen. Tom Cullerton’s DuPage County contest, as well as Rep. McAuliffe’s opponent Merry Marwig, among others.

And it’s not just the two parties airing the spots. Dan Proft said his Liberty Principles PAC is currently airing Chicago broadcast ads on behalf of six Republicans.

And it’s not just happening in Chicago.

St. Louis broadcast TV has also been a rel-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller ative rarity for legislative campaign ads.

Heck, many statewide candidates forgo advertising in St. Louis because of its high cost-to-benefit ratio.

Rep. Dwight Kay (R-Glen Carbon) has been running ads on St. Louis TV for several weeks, and the Democrats just started airing ads there for Rep. Dan Beiser (D-Alton) to match his Republican opponent Mike Babcock’s buy. The Democrats also started running St. Louis ads for Mike Mathis against Rep. Avery Bourne (R-Raymond).

“It’s crazy,” said one Metro East pal about the flood of St. Louis ads. “I want to throw something at the TV.” Head up the Mississippi River and you’ll see broadcast TV ads in the Quad Cities for and against Rep. Mike Smiddy (D-Hillsdale). Like in St. Louis, most people who watch Quad Cities TV stations don’t live in Illinois.

Then head as far south in Illinois as you can go and Rep. John Bradley (D-Marion) is reportedly pushing a completely unheard of 3,900 gross ratings points on TV stations in and near his district. Generally, if you want half your targeted audience to see an ad three times, you’ll “push” 150 ratings points.

Do the math. Bradley must be advertising 24 hours a day on every program.

The Republicans, by the way, estimated last week that they’ve pushed 5,000 points statewide on their anti-House Speaker Michael Madigan message.

But are any of these ads working this late in the game?

Last week, a friend of mine who doesn’t watch much broadcast TV said he was watching “Chicago’s Very Own” WGN and texted me the ads as they popped up on his TV: “Anti-Yingling, pro-Duckworth, anti-Mendoza, anti-Skoog, anti-Yingling (again), anti-Cloonen. All back-to-back in a single commercial break.”

A few minutes later, he texted: “Hey back to commercials! Anti-Bartman, anti-Cullerton. Anti-Trump/Rauner (new from LIFT).

What is this! An ad for Target. Like, a real ad for buying cheap [stuff]. Refreshing.”

“Seriously,” he texted, “it was just one big jumble. Nothing could break through this. And if you were getting 20 pieces of mail? Shoot me now.”

Morris schools’ shared services saving money Several times a year someone asks me, “Why does Morris have more than one school district?”

I don’t have an answer for that question and it usually leads to a discussion about the large number of units of government in Illinois, such as, wouldn’t it be cheaper to have a unit school district in Morris, and has this topic ever been studied?

A consolidation study has been investigated at least twice during my 13 years at MCHS but, for a variety of reasons, has never happened. What has occurred has been a sincere and organized effort to share services in order to increase efficiency.

This article will highlight those efforts and illustrate the reason why our students are transported in buses with “Morris Community Schools” written on the side.

The most visible shared service involves the transportation of regular and special education students in Morris. Since the early 2000s, special education students from all the districts that attend the same out-oftown facility are transported on the same bus.

Previously, each district paid for busing students, in some years to as many as 11 facilities. Sharing this service saves the community be-

COMMUNITY PULSE Patrick Halloran tween $400,000 and $500,000 annually.

Over 2,000 regular education students are transported daily through a cooperative effort led by the staff at Saratoga District 60C. Superintendent Kathy Perry, dispatcher Tracy Gonzalez, and building and grounds director Don Tondini skillfully coordinate a fleet of buses and vehicles that take care of regular and extra-curricular trips totaling more than 525,000 miles annually.

A caring group of drivers make sure students arrive at their destination safely. These shared efforts create an approximate $400,000 in annual savings for the community.

An additional $100,000 in savings is realized through District 54 and District 60C sharing a building and grounds director, building-related inspections and agreements, and purchasing natural gas and electricity jointly.

MCHS District 101, GAVC, and the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative also realize savings

Dwight passenger rail station done SUBMITTED REPORT DWIGHT – Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn along with Amtrak and Village of Dwight officials announced Thursday, Oct. 27, the completion of the new passenger rail station in downtown Dwight.

The Dwight station was the first of several station improvements overseen by the Illinois Department of Transportation as part of the highspeed rail project.

The new station opened Friday, Oct. 28.

“The new Dwight station is a prime example of how we can work together to invest in communities, provide people with options on how they wish to travel and improve the quality of life for themselves and their families,” Secretary Blankenhorn said. “We appreciate your patience while we worked with the village to deliver these improvements in one of our state’s great communities.”

The 1,500-square-foot building features a peaked roof, glass facade and modern facilities and amenities for passengers on Amtrak’s Lincoln Service. Features include connections to bicycle and pedestrian paths, free Wi-Fi and parking for both vehicles and bikes.

The new station is one block south of the old station, which was built by the Chicago and Alton Railroad in 1891. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places,the old station will continue to house the Dwight Historical Society and the Dwight Economic Alliance.

Funding for the $3.26 million station is part of federal grant administered by IDOT to introduce passenger rail service at speeds up to 110 mph on the Union Pacific Railroad corridor between Chicago and St. Louis. New stations also are being built in Pontiac, Normal, Carlinville and Alton.

The stations in Lincoln and Springfield will be upgraded.

through participation in several of the agreements as well.

MCHS, GAVC, GCSEC and Saratoga also share the services of a technology coordinator. A savings of $40,000 to $50,000 is realized annually in personnel costs with an additional $20,000 worth of savings in combined purchasing efforts.

The students in the GAVC computer maintenance technology classes also earn valuable experience by working in various locations in the community pulling cable and fixing computers.

The Morris Area Technology Coordinators Consortium was started in the 1990s as a shared effort to bring internet access to a variety of agencies in Morris. This group continues today with an emphasis on staff development and the coordination of services in our schools.

MCHS has a very positive relationship working with the city of Morris in a variety of areas. One is the implementation several years ago of a full-time school resource officer. Officer Steve Huetteman covers Morris High School and has been a positive factor in helping our school maintain a positive learning environment.

This year, Officer Huetteman

spends a portion of each day at Premier Academy. This sharing of resources helps the Regional Office of Education program offer a safe alternative learning setting for students from throughout Grundy County. This is just one more example of multiple agencies working together for the betterment of our students.

There are other examples of groups working together too numerous to mention in this limited space.

Over $900,000 in combined savings is referenced in this article and illustrates some of the efficiencies that can be achieved when organizations work together.

I anticipate the topic of consolidation will continue to come up periodically. Until then, the sharing of services and resources will continue to represent the “community” in “Morris Community Schools.”

Community Pulse is a weekly column that provides a dedicated space for Grundy County-area nonprofits, schools, organizations and sometimes Morris Herald-News staff to share news and information about their organization.

Seneca’s Stevens appointed to Northeastern Illinois Agency on Aging Advisory Council SUBMITTED REPORT KANKAKEE – Patricia Stevens of Seneca has been appointed to the Advisory Council of the Northeastern Illinois Agency on Aging as a representative of Grundy County.

Dresden Unit 3 removed from service for maintenance SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Operators at Dresden Generating Station removed Unit 3 from service shortly after midnight Monday morning to begin a scheduled refueling and maintenance outage.

The outage follows a strong summer run, during which Dresden operated at greater than 97 percent capacity during June, July and August.

More than 1,500 additional workers will join the facility’s 800-plus permanent employees, providing a boost to the local economy.

Many area hotels, restaurants, gas stations and other merchants in Grundy and Will counties see an in-

crease in activity during the station’s refueling outages.

“Area retailers, their employees and others in the communities around the station all benefit from the influx of additional workers during the refueling outages,” Grundy County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Christina Van Yperen said in a news release. “Dresden has a tremendous impact – not only in terms of economic impact, but in generating clean, reliable electricity for those who live and work in our area.”

Workers at Dresden will replace about one-third of the Unit 3 reactor’s fuel. They will also perform more than 8,000 inspections, maintenance

activities and other work that cannot be done while the unit is operating.

This includes performing upgrades to safety system control components that will improve reliability, and making enhancements to the turbine control systems to improve performance of its pumps and valves.

All the activities aim to ensure the unit’s safe and reliable operation during its next two-year operating cycle and beyond.

“Protecting the health and safety of the public and our workers is always our top priority, Dresden Site Vice President Pete Karaba said in a news release. “The highly skilled professionals joining us for this refueling outage all share our commitment

to Dresden’s vision of being the best nuclear plant in the world through safe and error-free operation.”

Nearly half of the state’s electricity is generated by Exelon’s six Illinois nuclear energy facilities. Dresden Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago.

The station’s two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 1,800 megawatts at full power – enough carbon-free electricity to power more than 1.2 million typical homes.

Dresden Unit 1, which began operation in 1960 and was retired in 1978, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society.

RUNNIN’ DOWN A DREAM Morris to visit distant Troy Triad for second-round playoff matchup / 39

Morris to face stern test in second round

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – There are a lot of teams that Morris football coach Alan Thorson sees when he scouts the Redskins’ next opponent, Troy Triad.

The Knights (7-3) employ a runheavy, double-wing type of offense that resembles Wilmington or Joliet Catholic Academy on the local high school levels or Georgia Tech, Navy or Air Force on the collegiate front.

Either way, it’s a team that is going to come at you and dare you to stop them.

In other words, they are a lot like this year’s edition of the Redskins and many of the teams they have already played this year.

“These guys are good,” Thorson said. “They like to play a physical game, and we are pretty battle-tested as far as that goes. Our conference [the Northern Illinois Big 12] is a lot better than a lot of people think, and that played out this weekend. No one from our side of the conference lost, and only Geneseo lost from the other side of the conference.”

In fact, it was this Triad team that ousted Geneseo, beating the Maple Leafs, 35-7, to earn the right to host the Redskins. Morris has made this trip to the outer reaches of St. Louis before, having played there in 2001 en route to a state runner-up finish.

The Knights enter the game with three losses on their résumé, all to playoff-qualifying teams. They dropped a 21-14 decision to 5-5 Waterloo, lost to 9-1 Highland, 24-0, and fell 37-7 to unbeaten Belleville Althoff Catholic. Morris. meanwhile, also lost only to playoff qualifiers Rochelle (21-14) and DeKalb (34-27).

Since the loss to DeKalb, though, the Redskins have won four straight, by a combined score of 151-58.

But, no matter how well his team has performed in recent weeks, Thorson knows that each game brings with it new challenges. One of the big ones this week is the trip itself, a bus ride of nearly four hours.

“This is what the playoffs are all about,” he said. “It’s always been that way. If you are going to make a run in the playoffs, chances are that at least one long road trip is going to be involved. You can either complain about it, which does no good since you have to make the trip anyway, or you can embrace it and look at it as a team-building experience. That’s what we did in our last game at Kaneland, even though that was only about an hour trip.

Morris’ Michael Feeney leaps over Marion’s Kyle Hughes in Saturday’s 48-28 win.

Feeney ran for a career-high 214 yards and went over the 1,000-yard barrier for the season.

Morris football coach “We also have to make sure we play disciplined, assignment football, especially on defense. They will run a lot of read-option and we have to stick with our assignments. They run a lot of fakes and their offense has a lot of moving parts.

“And they are very good at running it. There are a lot of times on film where you’re not really sure who has the ball because they carry their fakes out so well. We have to make sure we stay disciplined and do our job on every play. That means understanding what your assignment is and trusting your teammates to do the same.”

Morris survives wild third quarter in victory Defense makes a stand in fourth to secure playoff win

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, November 3, 2016

MORRIS – In the first half of Saturday afternoon’s Class 5A first-round playoff game between Morris and Marion, it took some time before either team was able to establish what it wanted to do.

By halftime, though, it seemed clear that Morris was going to be able to run the ball, while Marion’s best course of action was going to be through the air.

The coaching staff on each side figured that out as well, and what followed was a back-and-forth, 42-point period that saw each team score three touchdowns and bring a Big Ten-style 20-7 halftime score to a Big-12-like 41-28 total at the end of the third.

The action started right away, as Morris received the second-half kickoff and Austin Daring returned it 53 yards to the Marion 41-yard line. Michael Feeny, who led the Redskins with 214 rushing yards to push his season total past the 1,000-yard barrier, went for a 24-yard gain on the first play for the Wildcats’ 17.

There, though, the Marion defense clamped down a bit and that, combined with a five-yard false start penalty on the Redskins, saw Morris face fourthand-12 from the Marion 19.

Quarterback Ricky Del Favero hit receiver Delaney Stutzki with a slant pass near the first-down marker, and Stutzki made for the end zone, leaping over both a Marion defender and the goal line for a touchdown. Dallas Hastings, who had ended the first half with a 20-yard field goal, added the kick to give Morris a 27-7 lead with 9:05 to play in the third.

Morris was whistled for unsportsmanlike conduct following the touchdown, and the yardage was assessed on the kickoff, which resulted in Marion taking possession at its own 47-yard line.

After a loss of a yard on a run, Marion quarterback Jake Schmid hit receiver Hunter Milligan on a fly route along the right sideline and Milligan ran it in the rest of the way for his second TD catch of the game to make it 27-14 with 8:16 on the clock.

The ensuing kickoff resulted in a touchback, with Morris taking over at

Morris’ Austin Dearing pivots around Marion’s defense during a kick return Saturday. Morris beat Marion, 48-28, and advanced to the second round of the Class 5A playoffs. its own 20. It took all of four plays, plus a Marion encroachment penalty, for the Redskins to reach the Wildcat 28, where Feeney broke loose for a 28-yard TD run at the 6:24 mark. The Redskins went for two, but failed, leaving the score at 33-14.

The aerial attack continued for Marion as Schmid and Milligan hooked up from 37 yards out with 4:58 to play to cut the Morris lead to 33-21.

Again, the Marion kickoff went into the end zone and Morris had to start on its own 20. It didn’t matter, however – Feeney carried twice for eight yards before Keagan Sobol, who ran for 180 yards, broke into the open and outran the Marion defense for a 72-yard touchdown with 3:24 to play.

Feeney added the conversion run and Morris led 41-21.

Marion, though, refused to led the Redskins get comfortable with the lead, and Schmid shifted his focus from Milligan to Jaden Lacy with the same result. Lacy caught a 44-yard scoring strike with 1:40 left in the quarter to make it 41-28.

The first play of the fourth quarter was a punt by Morris, which was

“That third quarter was just crazy. ... It was just back and forth. But our defense came through with a big stop when we needed it and the offensive line just kept opening holes for us to run through.”

Michael Feeney Morris senior

downed at the Marion 25. The Wildcats started another drive and threatened to pull to within a touchdown, getting as far as first-and-goal from the Morris 7. There, though, the Redskin defense clamped down and stymied the Wildcats.

On fourth-and-goal, Jayson Podschweidt stopped Caden Hilliard for a three-yard loss, giving Morris the ball on its own five-yard line.

On the first play, Feeney burst through a hole on the right side and

bolted 61 yards. A face-mask penalty tacked on at the end of the play put Morris at Marion’s 19.

Michael Gerischer ran for five yards, and another personal foul on Marion gave Morris the ball at the Wildcats’ 7. Gerischer scored on the next play, providing the final score of the day.

“That third quarter was just crazy,” Feeney said. “I have never been a part of a quarter like that. It was just back and forth. But our defense came through with a big stop when we needed it and the offensive line just kept opening holes for us to run through.

“It’s the playoffs, and we are just happy to be playing next week.”

Morris coach Alan Thorson was also happy with how the defense – the line in particular – performed at the end of the game.

“They came up with some big plays all day,” Thorson said about defensive linemen Podschweidt, Avery Hoffman, Jared Akin, Alonzo Enriquez and Sean Grogan, along with linebackers Sobol, Kaden Laurie and Merrick Hairapetian. “We had some big sacks when we needed them.”

40 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL CLASS 3A REGIONAL: TINLEY PARK 25-25, MORRIS 22-17

Morris’ season ends with loss to Tinley Park

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In what must have seemed like a scene from the movie “Groundhog Day,” the Morris girls volleyball team had trouble in the second game Thursday night and lost a 25-22, 25-17 decision to Tinley Park in the title game of the Class 3A Morris Regional.

“That’s been the story of our lives the last few weeks,” Morris coach Taylor Lafond said. Morris led most of the first game, only to see Tinley Park score the final six points to win one.

Tinley Park then jumped out to a 7-0 lead in Game 2.

“We dug ourselves too big a hole to start Game 2 and could never get out of it,” Lafond said. “I don’t know what it was at the end of the year. We just couldn’t get going in Game 2. I even tried having most of our practices on that side of the court so we would be more accustomed to it, but for whatever reason, we just struggled in Game 2.”

The Redskins had no such trouble in Game 1, as they raced out to a 6-1 lead. Tinley Park countered with a four-point run of its own, but Morris refused to relinquish the lead. No matter who close the Titans got – they were within one on many occasions and even tied it at 11 and 17 – Morris was able to maintain the lead until late in the game.

After the tie at 17, Morris got a kill

by Olivia Schultz and one each by Ashley Hood and Janelle Brehm to move ahead 22-19.

From there, it was all Tinley Park.

The Titans used a strong attack from the middle of the front row and got a kill by Sam Tuuk, two by Jackie Alberto, an ace by Kasey Brennan and a pair of Morris hitting errors to score the final six points of the first game and claim the 25-22 win.

The hot streak continued into Game 2, as Kasey Nolan served two aces, Tyler Bearden had a kill and Morris made four hitting errors to help the Titans to a 7-0 advantage.

The Tinley Park streak ended with a kill by Brehm, who finished with a team-leading 11 kills to go with seven digs and two blocks. Calleen Soper had five kills for Morris, while Ashley Hood had 18 assists, a kill, five digs and a block.

“They really beat us in the middle,” Lafond said. “They knew it was their strength and they kept going there.

[Morris middle] Ryan Friend got a lot of touches, but we just couldn’t bring the ball up after that.”

And so, a year after reaching the

sectional final and losing a pair of twopoint decisions to perennial power and eventual state runner-up Joliet Catholic Academy, the Redskins finished the year with a 17-17-1 record, a game better than last year’s 17-18-1 mark.

“It’s a different feeling with the same number of wins,” Lafond said.

“Last year, we ended strong and there was really something to look forward to.

METAMORA – After winning the first cross country team title in school history, the Morris girls team was hoping to continue its success at the Class 2A Metamora Sectional over the weekend.

The shot at history fell just short, but by no means was the weekend unsuccessful.

Morris finished eighth, with the top five teams advancing to the state finals.

Sabrina Baftiri led the way for Morris, finishing 22nd with a time of 19:05.75, which was just .7 from advancing to state as an individual.

Mya Shannon finished 48th in 20:01, followed by Madi Mayberry (53rd, 20:07), Sophie Tibbott (55th, 20:09), Meghan Smith (80th, 21:08), Lily Tibbott (90th, 21:42) and Casi Valdes (21:49).

“We knew it would take remarkable races and others to slip to advance, and unfortunately that didn’t happen,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “I cannot fault the focus, effort, or determination of our girls. There’s an old athletic saying that on good teams, the coaches hold the players or runners accountable and on great teams, the athletes hold each other accountable. We weren’t a great team based on where we finished in the state series. But, in terms of selflessness, effort, heart and accountability, I don’t know if I’ve been a part of a better team.

“It’s so difficult to know what place or time will get a runner to state. We felt that Sabrina had to beat the two girls from Streator that beat her at regionals. She was able to race past one, but finished seven-tenths behind the other. And sure enough, she was the final state qualifier. Sabrina can be disappointed that she didn’t qualify, or she can focus on the fact that she ran roughly 40 seconds faster than regionals and was our consistent No. 1 the second half of the season. She was outstanding. Sophie and Lily [Tibbott] completed their last race as Redskins, and it’s hard to think of two people that gave more. Each ran and got every ounce of ability out of their bodies.

Meg Smith is a four-year runner that ran over 40 races on varsity. Her experience will be missed. Casi Valdes only ran for a year, but a 200-plus mile summer vaulted her into our top seven.

“This group created expectations and set from high standards for future squads. They won the first cross regional in school history, and ran a top five time that no other other squad has come close to – 100:32 – that’s averaging a 20:06... But more importantly than any times or trophies, they understood

Morris’ Sabrina Baftiri finished just 0.7 shy of qualifying for the Class 2A state cross country meet. She finished 22nd at the sectional in Metamora. family, camaraderie, and passion for distance running and running hard for each other. As I tell them often, I love them and will miss them immensely.”

“The future is bright as well. We return No. 2 Madi Mayberry, No. 3 Mya Shannon, regular season top five runner Bridget Landers, and top seven runner Amanda Schmidt. With some eighth-graders coming from the Shabbona program and some more talent walking the halls, it’s an important offseason for us to recruit and carry this season’s momentum into next fall.”

In the boys race, Morris went in with a bit of a diminished squad and finished in 17th place.

“We sort of hit a wall toward the end of the season and dealt with too many injuries,” Blumberg said. “Three of our top four from regionals didn’t run in the sectional and our score and team finish reflected their absences.”

Zachary Chapman (23rd, 15:57) missed advancing to state by two places and seven seconds for the Redskins and was far and away the top runner.

Next in line was Evan Olson (111th, 18:35), followed by Tony Pethtel (113th, 18:44), Gage Eisenbeis (116th, 18:51), Wes Diaz (125th, 19:11), Jake Eisenbeis (126th, 19:22) and Alex Warrick (135th, 21:58).

“Zach ran a great race,” Blumberg said. “With six state-ranked teams there and only five advancing to state, we knew the individual advancers would be phenomenal runners. ‘Chappy’ was 35 seconds behind the LP guys at regionals, and we felt they would be the last advancers, if their team didn’t get to state. And he cut a 35-second gap to 12. I’m not sure how much more he could have done, and that makes it easier to live with the result.

“Shane McTague and Zach were

fantastic leaders and will be missed.

Their summer attendance, number of summer miles, the rides they gave, alarm clock phone calls and nudging to get guys to run, it’ll all be sorely missed. The good news is the impact they had on our team will be felt for three more years with so many young guys. Our number two and three today were freshmen, and I’m not sure another team at the sectional can say that.”

Class 1A Oregon Sectional: Seneca’s boys team finished in 10th place at the 12-team sectional.

Christopher Collett qualified for this weekend’s state meet by finishing sixth with a time of 16:18.

In the girls race, Seneca finished sixth, just one spot away from qualifying for state as a team.

Carina Collett was the lone individual qualifier, finishing 10th with a time of 20:03.

A fall Michigan trip forever memorable For the last couple of months, I had been looking forward to last weekend. I knew that we had to drive to central Michigan for a college visit. That, in itself, was exciting, but the thought of riding through the back roads of the Great Lakes state in the fall was captivating, I must say. I was not disappointed.

The images of golden leaves filled my mind as I battled traffic on the interstate through Indiana. For every ounce of gridlock frustration, I knew there would be an overabundance of joy waiting for me.

We had scheduled an entire day for the drive up.

No clock. No hurry. It was exhilarating to travel that way.

How nice it must be to not have appointments and deadlines throwing barricades through our lives on a daily basis. I was determined to soak up every minute of the leisurely drive.

Our first exit off the highway led us to travel back roads along the Indiana Dunes toward Michigan City.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers Two lane roads felt more like tunnels of yellows and reds as we made our way from town to town.

Every bend and twist yielded new scenes only God himself could have painted.

From there we set the GPS toward Fennville, Michigan, and a little orchard and restaurant called Cranes.

Maybe you have stopped there. It was well worth the time. The establishment had a 30-minute wait for lunch on a Friday.

That ought to tell you about the reputation it holds.

After some fresh cider, good burgers and a sampling of four different homemade pies, the wife and I penciled that place in on our mental calendars. There will be many more stops in Fennville in the coming

joyed a colorful drive to Muskegon.

From there we drove almost straight east to Mount Pleasant, Michigan, admiring the fall colors the entire way.

Saturday and Sunday blessed us with brilliant sunshine to accent the magical presence of a fall fully ablaze. All the way home we basked in the glory that is autumn.

The looming stress of a new work week could not match the pure enjoyment of a drive in the country.

I have no idea if you can spare the time in the next week or two for a road trip, but it is worth it.

We spend plenty of hours in the car that leak from our memory to never be recalled.

This last weekend of driving through Michigan in the fall is not one of them.

I will always cherish the memories we made as a family in October of 2016.

years.

After we settled our full bellies into the SUV, we pointed the hood north and planned another stop in Grand Haven, Michigan.

We had heard a lot about this community and its wonderful summer activities along Lake Michigan.

There would be no beach-going this blustery day, but who doesn’t like to gaze out upon a majestic lake?

When we arrived, we were astounded to see a group of adventurous souls donning wetsuits and wind surfing. Well, I guess you wouldn’t call it wind surfing, but more like kite surfing. Sound new? It was to us.

These brave folks had a board, similar to a small surfboard, and what looked like a small parachute.

They held onto the parachute, or kite, and it ripped them across the lake at incredible speeds. They could even launch themselves high into the air. The fall winds created quite the power source for them.

After a few minutes of watching in awe, we loaded up again and en-

Cookies may sweeten voters’ sour feelings on presidential race

By LISA ABRAHAM More Content Now

A

re you having trouble stomaching the ongoing presidential campaign?

Maybe a little butter and sugar will help.

Ann Clark Ltd., a Rutland, Vermont, cookie-cutter company, recently released two new designs, in the shapes of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Gwen McShea, digital marketing director for Ann Clark, said a donkey and an elephant have been part of the company’s line of U.S.-made cookie cutters for several years, and sales always soar at election time.

“They’ve been doing tremendous for the last couple years,” she said.

During the summer, however, customers began asking for Clinton and Trump cutters, and the company decided to go ahead with production even though the cutters did not get to market until the beginning of September.

Sales have been good, McShea said, particularly because some companies selling them have made them part of a set of cutters that includes Trump, Clinton, a donkey, an elephant, a flag and a star.

“Yes, in general, people have really responded to it well,” McShea said, noting that customer feedback has been loaded with people’s political beliefs.

The cutters were designed

by Georganne Bell, a Utahbased cookie decorator and author who operates the website www.LilaLoa.com. Bell also decorated the cookies made with the cutters featured on Ann Clark’s website.

The most common observation from customers, McShea said, is that “Trump’s face is not orange enough.”

“That seems to be an overwhelming one,” she said.

Other one-liners from customers: “I couldn’t possibly

stomach these two candidates,” “I could definitely bite the head off of these two” and my personal favorite: “Bake America great again.”

Until Trump’s recent sexual assault scandal, his cutter had been outselling Clinton 51 to 49 percent. Shortly after that, however, Clinton took the lead, 50.5 to 49.5 percent, McShea said.

In general, though, the elephant outsells the donkey, McShea said, noting that

Ann Clark cookie cutters sell better in red states than blue, with Utah customers buying the most.

A little closer to home, Republicans were ahead in the presidential cookie poll conducted at Mozart’s Bakery and Piano Cafe in the Clintonville, Ohio, neighborhood.

Mozart’s poll, based on sales of elephant and donkey cookies, has correctly predicted the outcome of the presidential race every year

since 2000.

The day I checked in with owner Anand Saha, sales of elephant cookies were leading donkeys 726 to 721, “with a two-cookie margin of error.”

Why a margin of error?

“They could have crumbled,” Saha noted.

He said the final two weeks before the election is typically when most voting takes place.

Sales this year, though, definitely are down from years past, he said.

“At this point, I would have sold thousands of cookies in prior elections,” he said. “I have never seen the people so disillusioned or not happy with either candidate.

They don’t even want the cookies.”
