You say you want a resolution?

We all want to change ourselves The calendar has finally flipped and 2016 is finally over.

I am not sure why, but it seemed like the final few months of the year seemed like they would never end.

Maybe it was the proliferation of celebrity deaths that were occurring, the lingering effects of the presidential election, wanting to hold onto ’16 as long as I could since that was the year the Cubs finally won a World Series, or just wanting the year to end and have a new one begin, but it was one of those periods of time that seemed to take longer than others.

But 2017 is here. Whether that means time will seem to speed up, I have no idea. All I know is that I, like a lot of folks, will have to take a minute to make sure I have the correct date when I write a check for the next few weeks.

I have never been big on New Year’s resolutions. The way I see it, if it’s big enough for someone to resolve it on Jan. 1, it was probably big enough to resolve to do it or not a week or month before, when you decided to make it your resolution. I get the idea – new year, new

Rob Oesterle start and all that – and when I see and hear people making their resolutions, they all seem like great ideas.

Quitting smoking, eating healthier, exercising more, etc. But these are things that don’t necessarily need to start on the first day of January.

So, basically the only resolution I make on New Year’s Day is to sit on my couch, eat food that’s probably not very good for me, and watch football. And you can bet that I am one of the few people I know who tend to keep my resolution.

Does that mean I don’t want to improve myself during the year? Not at all. In fact, I always have the intention of doing better each year. Admittedly, I don’t always succeed.

But like most of you, I want to take better care of myself. It’s become obvious to me that doing some of the things

I could get away with in my mid-20s just don’t translate to my current age, and my body is increasingly letting me know.

I certainly hope that, by this time next year, there’s less of my body that’s letting me know these things, but I am not going to make a big pronouncement that I plan to lose a certain number of pounds.

If I fall short of that goal, I may lose sight of the fact that I at least lost some and feel like I failed.

Or I might underestimate and lose them well before the next New Year comes along and feel like I can revert, only to see the numbers on the scale go back up.

The idea is that I am going to take better care of myself and how I treat others. That’s something that can always be worked on, no matter what the numbers say.

Coal City village officials looking forward to 2017

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – As Coal City moves forward into 2017, it is focusing on industrial development south of the village.

“We’ve had strong Union Pacific involvement and the first developer is close,” Village Administrator Matt Fritz said.

Fritz said the village has worked toward developing industry in the area and hope the added equalized assessed value will give other property owners some relief.

The village is also looking at ways to improve infrastructure and development projects, after using the last of its bond debt for reconstruction after the June 22, 2015, tornado.

“We’re trying to send an important

message to elected officials that we’ve used all of our bond debt,” he said. “If we can get a $900,000 match for the Broadway Corridor, we can have $5.4 million in total investment.”

He said the mayor and village board are eager to see development at the corner of Route 113 and Broadway Street, which should begin this year.

In 2016, a farmers market run by the Coal City Park Board began. It will continue in 2017.

Fritz said the board has already planned for movie nights in the park and a committee is working to finalize farmer’s market dates and entertainment for the 2017 season, which will begin this summer.

“The farmers market was a success and the board is working on this year’s schedule as soon as they receive survey responses from the 2016 vendors,”

Fritz said. Other changes at the village level will depend on what voters choose in the April election when they vote on whether the village should become a home-rule community, which will appear on the consolidated election ballot next spring.

Village voters will simply be asked to check yes or no to the question that reads, “Shall the village of Coal City, Illinois, become a home-rule unit?”

Village officials have been exploring home rule as a funding option for municipal improvements for the past few years.

They recently came to the determination that it was time to take the proposal to residents.

Fritz said the village will hold educational or information sessions before the vote to explain what that would mean for Coal City.

Dwight mother delivers Morris Hospital’s first baby of 2017

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers holds a special place in the heart for the Transou family of Verona.

Jay Transou and daughter Jennifer Standley sat in the birthing suite on Monday reflecting on the love Carole Transou had for the place she worked at for 40 years – which also was where CaroleLynn Marie Transou was born on New Year’s Day. “It’s pure joy,” Standley said Monday from her daughter’s birthing suite.

“My daughter went into labor exactly five years to the day we laid my mom to rest on New Year’s Eve. It’s a blessing.”

Jennifer said that being at Morris Hospital for the special occasion felt right because the hospital was a second home to her mom, Carole, who often spent more hours at work than at home.

“Not many people can say they love their job. Carole loved her job (as a nurse at the hospital),” Jay Transou said as he looked on from his seat on the couch.

Hailey Transou of Dwight gave birth to her bundle of joy at 4:01 a.m.

Sunday, giving her daughter the title of first baby of 2017 at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers.

The new mother said she knew she was having a girl and had the name picked out long before she gave birth to the 5-pound, 10-ounce baby, who measured 18 inches long.

“She was special to me, and this was my first girl,” Hailey Transou said.

She didn’t just name her baby girl after her grandmother, however – she also found a way to incorporate other family names.

The “Lynn” in CaroleLynn is her aunt’s middle name, Marie is her mother’s middle name as well as a name passed down through more than one generation of the family.

“All of the kids have Sue or Marie in their names,” Hailey Transou said.

Hailey Transou is the daughter of Jennifer and Greg Standley of Dwight, Fred and Julie Rositch of Joliet, and granddaughter of Jay Transou of Verona and Peggy Rositch of Murphysboro.

As Grundy County’s first baby of 2017, CaroleLynn was showered with gifts from the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce, such as a lamb night

light from Grundy County Community Hospice, a personalized picture frame from Apple Butter, baby books in a book bag from Morris Area Library, a one night stay at Holiday Inn Express in Morris, a picture frame from Dutch Girl Photography, a 13-week newspaper subscription from the Morris Herald-News, a gift basket from Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers, a three-month membership to the Morris Area YMCA and a gift certificate from Grundy County Chamber of Commerce, along with numerous other rewards and gift certificates from area businesses.

“The first baby of the year is an exciting time,” said Christina Van Yperen, executive director Grundy County Chamber of Commerce. “The Grundy County Chamber and its members put a package together every year to welcome our new community member and what better way to do that than showcasing what Grundy County businesses have to offer.”

Morris to finish infrastructure upgrades in 2017

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The city of Morris will continue to see infrastructure upgrades as it heads into 2017.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said the end of Phase 2 on the sanitary sewer overflow project is set to be complete this spring, ending near Lisbon and Pleasant streets, and the city will look forward to starting Phase 3, which is in the 4th Ward behind Dairy Queen.

The city also is completing the $2 million expansion to the East Side Sewage Treatment Plant.

The expansion will allow the plant to treat more water and was necessary

Skooter’s gets 4-day liquor license suspension

By KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media correspondent The owners of Skooter’s Roadhouse in Shorewood will lose their liquor license for four days beginning Jan. 12 because of a violation of liquor laws.

Shorewood Mayor Richard Chapman, who also is the liquor commissioner, became aware of the Dec. 23 holiday event, which violated state codes by advertising and offering liquor specials without offering food, on Christmas Day. During an investigation, it was discovered that Skooter’s was also advertising a similar special for New Year’s Eve. Sighting a “dangerous situation for Shorewood residents and patrons of the establishment,” Chapman issued an emergency suspension order for the sale of liquor at Skooter’s for the New Year’s Eve event.

At the request of Skooter’s management, a meeting was held between Chapman and village legal staff.

Skooter’s filed an appeal with the State Liquor Control Board, saying short notice from the village would cause an undue hardship on the establishment and the 45 employees who were scheduled to work New Year’s Eve. “It’s highly irregular that the city would seek to serve any establishment

3. Goold Park upgrades. because of the Costco meat processing expansion north of Interstate 80.

“With the expansion, we will see an increase in the amount of sewage we can treat a day,” Kopczick said. “Even though our permit will not go up past the 900,000 gallons we can treat now, the expansion would allow us to treat

about 1.2 million gallons a day.”

Kopczick said the plant expansion also is part of the city’s long-term control project, which is required by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

He said the expansion also will help accommodate construction at the Brisbin Road interchange, as companies look to invest in locating to the Morris annexed portion of the interchange.

The city is working with Grundy County and Minooka on an intergovernmental agreement for Brisbin Road, and Kopczick said they’ve already had businesses show interest in the area.

Costco is building a 256,000-square-

foot meat processing plant, expected to employ up to 155 people upon final buildout, which should be complete by this summer.

Kopczick said the city also is seeing growth in commercial business with O’Reilly Auto Parts constructing a new store on Route 47, which is scheduled to open this year.

The parks also are seeing upgrades with the band shell nearing completion in Goold Park.

The tennis courts at the west end of Goold Park will also be resurfaced and ready to play on this summer.

Kopczick said he’s looking forward to a year of continued growth and improvement.

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

Morris Area Public Library children’s department manager Jill Baetiong takes children out to dance to the “Hokey Pokey,” the “Chicken Dance Song” and “YMCA” during the inaugural Noon Year’s Eve party Dec. 28 at the library.

Morris kids ring in 2017 early with Noon Year’s Eve event

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – The countdown from 10 got louder and louder as it neared the end, and when the number one was shouted, 75 multicolored balloons dropped from a canopy near the ceiling, into the arms of 45 children, aged infant to fifth grade. Once the balloons settled, children scrambled to capture as many as they could, and when their little arms could not carry any more, they smiled in satisfaction.

“My favorite was chopping the balloons down because I just wanted to see how many I could pick up,” said 4-yearold Archer Jensen of Morris.

Archer, along with many friends of the Morris Area Public Library, took

part in the free inaugural Noon Year’s Eve party from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Dec. 28.

Children’s department manager Jill Baetiong said she had heard of other libraries doing similar events, so she wanted to bring one to the Morris library.

“This gave the kids an opportunity to celebrate at a time doable for them,” Baetiong said.

That was the exact reason Abby Jensen of Morris brought her son, Archer, to the event.

“The kids always ask if they can stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve, and I don’t even stay up that late.

It’s a good way to celebrate and get the kids out of the house during the winter,” Abby said.

When the children arrived at 11:30 a.m., they quickly sat down to make noisemakers out of chip cans, dried beans, tape, markers and paper. Children’s department assistant Deyanira Reyes introduced the project, and after a few minutes, clanking noises were heard around the room.

Reyes and Baetiong knew each child by name and most of the children seemed to have a buddy or two in attendance. Fifteen minutes before the noon balloon drop, Baetiong read “Is Everyone Ready for Fun?” and took the children to the dance floor and played interactive songs such as the “Hokey Pokey,” the “Chicken Dance Song,” “YMCA” by the Village People and line dances. Children giggled as they jumped, danced and fell on the floor.

Some knew the steps and others just wanted to play.

But the peak of the event was the balloon drop at noon, when the kids rolled and dove in the balloons, and put all 75 in a parachute to fling them into the air and watch them float and come back down.

After the kids began to settle down, Reyes put out juice, cookies and crackers, and within minutes the children were refueled and ready to dance and play once again. Baetiong said she was happy with the turnout of the hourlong event, but may tweak it next year.

“We did an hour because we know that is the attention span of this age of kids. We will definitely do this again next year, and may change it to 45 minutes,” Baetiong said.

JOLIET – It’s a good thing Adam Kimble never unsubscribed from one particular annoying, recurring email blast.

“The emails were just infrequent enough and also interesting enough to not unsubscribe,” said Kimble, a contestant on a new Discovery Channel show called “The Wheel.”

Kimble, a Minooka native, applied years ago to be on a reality TV show that he has since forgotten the name of. But he ended up on an email list for other reality shows.

“I got an email about ‘The Wheel,’ and the buzzwords they used were just intriguing enough to get me to open it up,” Kimble said. “It was about travel and adventure – two things I like – so I read about it and applied.”

A Discovery Channel description states: “‘The Wheel’ dares six participants to survive in six distinctly grueling landscapes across South America. With every turn of the wheel, each survivalist is dropped into a new isolated location, exposed to the world’s deadliest terrains, including freezing tundra, rugged mountains and treacherous rainforest.”

The show lasted up to 60 days. The participants are not typical survival experts, but rather everyday people with something to prove, according to Discovery Channel.

Kimble is unsure how many people applied but said it was in the hundreds. He made it to final casting in Los Angeles, where six people were chosen for the show out of 30 finalists. He was one of the chosen six.

Casting was all about understanding the contestant and what it was that

Health department starts free family classes

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Families with children 12 to 18 years old are invited to take part in a new free Healthy Families Project program sponsored by the Grundy County Health Department and the Grundy County Medical Reserve Corps.

“We were looking at the community needs and with health always being on the forefront of our minds at the health department, we came up with this idea,”said Kelly Hitt, the volunteer/MRC coordinator.

The program is open to all Grundy County families with children 12 to 18 years old and is designed to help families in Grundy County learn how to cook meals that are healthy, delicious and – most importantly – inexpensive.

Hitt said the health department received an award that made it possible to offer the program at no cost.

“We hope this project fosters more quality time between children and their parents/guardians while learning about various diet, health and exercise information.

The first item on the menu for the Healthy Families Project will be Turkey Tacos with Toppings, a healthy version of a family favorite dinner.

The classes are offered to one adult and one child at a time.

If parents have more than one child that fits the age qualifications, a second parent or guardian must attend with them.

Hitt said the reason the program is restricted to one adult one child

is because of the hands-on nature of the class.

Minooka looks forward to continued growth in 2017

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Minooka continues to grow as it goes into 2017.

Village President Pat Brennan said he expects to see more growth in the area that currently houses numerous warehouses, chain restaurants and local businesses.

“We have another motel looking at us. They’ve come in to talk to us, and we are putting together plans,” Brennan said. “We have heard speculation of another warehouse as well.”

He said the key to success in Minooka is location.

The area near the intersection of Interstates 80 and 55 has been a hub of activity, even during the past recession.

Brennan said each aspect of growth, whether it be warehouses, hotels or homes, adds to the growth of the others.

He said that the warehouses bring in travelers who work for the corporations or do business with them, and the travelers fill the hotels and the seats at local restaurants, which in turn spurs more businesses to come to the area. The employees who work at the locations need places to live, which keeps homebuilding going.

“We have averaged 30 houses a year

since 2009, even during the recession,” Brennan said. “Westwind’s second phase is completed now, and we are looking for someone to build the third phase.”

The continued growth of homeowners means the growth of recreation, such as the McEvilly Road bike path.

“I’ve wanted this bike path since 1999, and it looks like it’s going to be a real thing,” Brennan said. “The bids are in, and they are hoping to start soon.”

The steady influx of new residents into new homes also means growth for businesses such as Jewel-Osco, which Brennan said recently completed re-

modeling and added a Starbucks to the inside of the store.

“Business is doing really good. The restaurants are busy; the stores are busy,” he said.

Minooka also will be home to a new assisted-living facility, which is being constructed behind the Jewel-Osco near the intersection of Route 6 and Ridge Road. The facility should be completed in the spring, and new buildings already are being planned for the area around it.

“They are talking about building a memory-loss building in the same area,” Brennan said. “It’s good to see new business invest in Minooka.”

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Village of Channahon officials see a lot of development coming in 2017.

It’s expected to be the biggest year for residential construction in Channahon in almost a decade.

“It will be a very busy and active year in terms of new homes,” Village Administrator Tom Durkin said.

The village has had a lot of developments “on inventory” since the recession, but with the economy finally recovered, developers are looking to build.

“It’s good to see those developments taken off the inventory list,” Director of

the economic growth while minimizing the effect of truck traffic on the community, Durkin said, adding that this involves finding land uses in the proper locations in relation to infrastructure.

But the village isn’t only focused on its economy. Officials continue to work on the Bridge Street Bike Path project, which will increase pedestrian and bicycle traffic on both sides of the DuPage River. The village was awarded an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program grant for the project.

Durkin said officials also are looking at ways to enhance the town center area.

Construction is underway on a senior living community, and much empty land still remains across from Village Hall.

sion of liquor sales to Skooter’s based on the first violation on Dec. 23 beginning Jan. 12.

Skooter’s has gone on official record, according to Chapman, accepting the suspension and admitting to the Dec. 23 violation. Scooter’s also agreed to pay $1,000 to cover village legal fees, Chapman said.

Lattas said the owners of Skooter’s feel blindsided by the suspension, given it wasn’t intentional, and “in the spirit of cooperation are working to-

gether with the city.” “[My client] inadvertently [violated the law],” Lattas said. “We had a party with a drink package on Christmas Eve. There was no malice to violate the law.”

During 2016, Shorewood police were called to the establishment 75 times for various complaints, Chapman said.

“Police are constantly being called there on weekends,” he said. “More than any other establishment in the village.

Chapman said the original intent for Skooter’s was to be an upscale steak house.

“It has now turned into a late-night entertainment facility. It draws in hundreds of people from out of town and is causing us some difficulties,” he said.

The village currently is addressing complaints of excessive noise coming from Skooter’s, particularly on the weekends. Lattas said the businesses owners tried to make a go of the steakhouse alone, but it wasn’t profitable.

Skooter’s agreed to drop its appeal as the result of the compromise made with the village to correct the code violation for New Year’s Eve, Lattas said.

Community Development Mike Petrick said.

The residential growth speaks to the reputation Channahon has built over the years, Durkin said.

“People are realizing Channahon is a great community to live, work and do business – and with great schools,” Durkin said.

Channahon also will see a continuation of industrial development east of Interstate 55.

The 80-acre Channahon Corporate Center, on the northeast corner of I-55 and Bluff Road, will have up to 1 million square feet of industrial space.

Hillwood Investment Properties is adding 4 million square feet in the area.

That property requires road improvements as well as the extension of a Channahon village water main.

The village will continue its investments in infrastructure with the interchange improvements at Route 6 and I-55 nearing completion toward the end of 2017.

THE TOP 10 OVERALL STORIES

1

Chicago Cubs win World Series

Sometimes, the best lead for a story is saying it plain – the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.

The curses are broken. This year was the year.

Hell has frozen over. The Cubs are “lovable losers” no more.

Lovable, yes, but certainly not losers. And it took only 108 years since the Cubs’ last World Series championship.

Five years after losing 100 games in the first season under new president of operations Theo Epstein – who helped the Boston Red Sox end their 86-year World Series drought – the

Trump rides anti-establishment sentiment to win presidency over Clinton

Up until Nov. 8, the conventional wisdom among the political and media elite was that the 2016 presidential election was Hillary Clinton’s to lose.

Which she did, when voters delivered in a historic political upset that ended one of the most bitter and contentious election cycles in memory against two historically unpopular candidates.

Trump won the key battleground states he needed to defeat Clinton, also narrowly flipping Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania – the last time a Republican carried any of those states was 1988 – giving him 306 electoral votes to 232 for Clinton. However, Clinton beat Trump in the popular vote by 2.9 million votes.

Voters also left the U.S. Senate under Republican control, giving the GOP control in Washington of both the White House and Congress.

Cubs ended the regular season with a 103-58-1 record.

The Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games to win their first National League pennant since 1945. That was followed by what could be one of the most memorable and entertaining World Series duels in the history of the sport.

One game away from elimination, the Cubs won the next three, ending with a Game 7 nail-biter that went into 10 innings after a 17-minute rain delay, to win it all.

More than 5 million people attended the Cubs’ victory parade and rally in Chicago.

Illinois’ budget impasse continues

Police shootings under scrutiny in a dangerous year for cops

Police continued to find themselves not only under greater scrutiny over officer-involved shootings including African-Americans, but also in greater danger.

At least 64 police officers have been shot and killed in 2016, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The death toll is 68 percent higher than this time last year, which after years of decline was one of the lowest fatality rates for police officers since the FBI began keeping track.

This past year showed a disturbing trend of officers being intentionally targeted. The most significant attack took place July 7, when a gunman angry over the fatal police shootings of black men killed five police officers and wounded nine more at a Dallas protest. The rampage was the deadliest day for law enforcement since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Come Sunday, Illinois will head into its third calendar year without a permanent budget. But the news gets worse.

An impasse that started in 2015 when the Democratic-controlled General Assembly submitted a deficit budget that Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed cooled off somewhat when lawmakers on June 30 approved a six-month stopgap budget. That budget expires with the new year, again leaving state government without a spending plan.

Rauner, a Republican elected in 2014 on a platform of stopping the state’s downward spiral, has said he will not approve any budget without reforms such as a term limits or a statewide property-tax freeze. Meetings of “working groups” of lawmakers from both parties have not succeeded in hammering out any sort of final deal.

While state workers are being paid and most state duties continue to get financed under court orders, social service agencies are hurting because of chronically late reimbursements.

Terror attacks hit home

Stock market hits record highs after a crazy year

The past year was an unpredictable roller-coaster ride for the stock market.

It started out with the worst opening month ever for the Dow Jones, which lost 5.5 percent of its value because of worries over plummeting oil prices and a slowdown in the Chinese economy.

Stocks took another tumble in June after U.K. voters decided to leave the European Union, startling investors who assumed based on polling that the Brexit effort would fail. While investors were sure that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates in 2016, it did not happen until earlier this month. Another unforeseen event did not hurt U.S. markets at all. While Dow futures plunged on the night of Nov. 8 as it appeared that Donald Trump was going to defy conventional wisdom and win the presidency, the stock market ended Nov. 9 on an upbeat note.

The U.K. votes to leave the European Union

Before Trump, there was Brexit. In a move that shocked the European Union and the United Kingdom political establishment, the island nation’s voters narrowly approved a referendum June 23 to remove it from the 28-state political and economic bloc.

The U.K. currently intends to formally request withdrawal by the end of March, which under treaty likely would mean a 2019 separation.

The majority of voters in England and Wales voted to leave, while more voters in Scotland and Northern Ireland wanted to stay in the EU. A judgment by the U.K.’s high court is expected in January as to whether new Prime Minister Theresa May, who took over after David Cameron resigned after the Brexit vote, can make the withdrawal request without Parliament’s approval.

Leaked emails embarrass Democrats, raise questions of Russian influence

The release of hacked emails from top Democratic officials during the 2016 campaign not only hurt Hillary Clinton, but also raised concerns over potential foreign influence in the election.

Almost 20,000 emails obtained through hacking the Democratic National Committee computer network were given to the website WikiLeaks, which posted them in July just before the party’s nominating convention.

Party Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned under pressure – emails appeared to show a coordinated effort to help Clinton and hurt her Democratic rivals during the primaries. The emails contradicted claims

by Democratic officials that Clinton’s rival for the nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders, was being treated fairly by the party.

Protesters stop pipeline project, occupy wildlife refuge

Two very different groups of people occupied federal lands using different techniques for different reasons, yielding very different endings.

Members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and supporters spent months camping out in North Dakota to protest and block completion of the proposed Dakota Access oil pipeline, which would skirt the reservation’s northern border.

Protesters allege that the pipeline threatens their drinking water and cultural sites. The Army Corps of Engineers announced earlier this month that it would try to find an alternate route.

On Jan. 2, an armed group upset over federal ownership of western lands occupied the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.

The standoff lasted 40 days, and one of the group members was shot and killed by federal agents when several of them were arrested en route to a meeting.

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan is denying allegations

by Teamsters Local 700 that Grundy County correctional officers are in danger while moving inmates with just one officer on the transport.

“As sheriff of Grundy County, the safety of my staff and the people we serve is my No. 1 priority,” Callahan said in a news release. “In my 33 years at the sheriff’s office and four as the sheriff, we have never had an officer injured while transporting inmates.”

Callahan said the Teamsters issued a recent news release about safety issues as part of their contract negotiations.

“This is a common union bargaining

tactic, but I won’t bargain a labor agreement through the press,” Callahan said.

“It’s detrimental to the sheriff’s office, the employees and the public.”

Teamsters Local 700 business agent Tom Wilcox said the Teamsters news release was not a negotiation tactic but a matter of informing the people of Grundy County of unsafe practices that he said could not only jeopardize the safety of the transporting officer, but also the public if the inmate were to escape during transport.

“It affects every resident of Grundy County and any other county they are transporting inmates through,” Wilcox said.

Teamsters Local 700 said in its news release last week that Grundy County correctional officers for the sheriff’s de-

partment are being forced to “transfer dangerous inmates in and out of the jail facility every day.”

Callahan said in response to the Teamsters’ news release that historically the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department has used two correctional officers when the inmate is a high risk or when he or she is being transferred long distances. Inmates are transferred when there is a court order from another county for the inmate to appear in court. It is required by law that the agency that has the inmate in custody takes him or her to court for due process.

Wilcox said that all of the Grundy County transfers he has checked since July were single-officer transports.

In a news release issued Wednesday, Callahan said he has “reached out to

every sheriff in the state of Illinois and received an overwhelming response, confirming that our present practice is consistent with the majority of the jails in the state of Illinois, with the possible exception being Cook Co., where the Teamsters representative, Mr. Wilcox, came from.”

Wilcox said he does not know of another county where inmates are transferred by just one correctional officer or deputy.

Will County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer confirmed that the agency uses two deputies to transport inmates to other counties.

Calls to officials with the sheriff’s offices of Livingston, LaSalle and Kendall counties were not immediately returned Thursday afternoon.

with their long-term plans.

Balkema said Grundy County Engineer Craig Cassem and board member Eric Rasmusson have developed the next part of the highway department’s fiveyear plan. The plan is a rolling five-year plan that adds a year at the completion of each calendar year, ensuring the department has a continuous five-year plan for infrastructure work such as road resur-

facing and bridge work.

Balkema said two projects for that department this year include the Brisbin Road project and the Ridge Road project.

The Brisbin Road project is awaiting an intergovernmental agreement between the county, the city of Morris and the village of Minooka, which each has a stake in the property surrounding the road’s interchange with Interstate 80.

County Board President Chris Balkema said the county will continue to move forward with what is being called Vision

2020, a strategic plan to help align department heads and board members so they can work toward a common goal. He said they will sit down and agree on what services the county wants to provide in 2020 and look at how to remain in a financial position to provide those services.

In addition to working toward the service and financial goals as a group, several departments are also moving forward

Rock Island Clean Line withdraws board petition

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com Clean Line Energy announced in December that it had withdrawn the pending applications for franchise approval at the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB).

The Rock Island Clean Line (RICL) applications will remain on hold until a resolution of pending legal proceedings in Illinois are finalized.

“A resolution could come as early as the middle of 2017,” according to a news release from Clean Line Energy.

The Illinois Supreme Court has decided to review the 3rd Appellate Court August ruling that it does not qualify as a public utility.

The ruling unanimously reversed the Order of the Illinois Commerce Commission, granting a certificate of public convenience and necessity to the RICL, and remanded the case to the commission with directions to enter an order consistent with its decision.

The RICL’s delayed development timeline and upcoming deadlines

associated with the IUB procedural schedule led to this decision to withdraw the applications, according to the release.

The company said in the release that despite RICL’s schedule delays, the need to build electric infrastructure remains.

Clean Line Energy continues work on its other transmission projects and currently has people working to complete engineering and design, test materials and negotiate easements to prepare for the Plains and Eastern Clean Line, which will serve the Oklahoma Panhandle to Arkansas as well as other states throughout the Southeast.

“Projects backed by private investment like the Rock Island Clean Line address our country’s continued demand for electric infrastructure,” Clean Line Energy Vice President Hans Detweiler said in the release.

“The Rock Island Clean Line will bring about a $7 billion investment in new wind farms and save Illinois consumers hundreds of millions of dollars in energy costs.”

50th Wedding Anniversary

THE LARGEST BRIDAL SHOW IN COOK, DUPAGE, WILL, GRUNDY & LASALLE COUNTIES… SUNDAY JANUARY 8TH 11 AM – 2 PM Dale & Cathy (Jeanette) (nee: Cynor) Andrjeski of Goose Lake observed their 50th wedding anniversary on December 31, 2016. They were married in Cornell, Wis., which was the area where they were raised & educated, both graduating from Holcombe High School, class of 1964.

Several members of Inwood Athletic Club participate in an exercise class Friday in Joliet.

Resolving to become healthier Fitness clubs help residents reach health goals

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet resident Steve Bajt is set on becoming more fit this year after losing 30 pounds since March.

Bajt was one of many people exercising in a class held by Gina Giarrante-Rodriguez, Joliet Park District fitness superintendent, at the park district’s Inwood Athletic Club on Friday.

Bajt said that last March he was getting ready for a ski trip and he had a hard time putting on his favorite pants. He resolved to lose weight.

“I said, ‘That was it.’ When I got back, I’ve been doing this pretty steadily since March,” he said.

Since then, he said he lost 30 pounds.

This year, he said he still wants to participate in exercise classes and continue with toning and weight loss.

Weight loss is likely to be on everyone’s mind with the beginning of a new year. Area fitness clubs such as

those at the Joliet Park District, Zip Fitness and others are offering special deals with the potential influx of those trying to become healthier.

Losing weight was second among the top New Year’s resolutions for 2017, according to a Marist Institute for Public Opinion poll, which surveyed 1,005 adults from Dec. 1 through Dec. 9. The top resolution was being a better person.

Tying for weight loss in the New Year’s resolution poll was exercising more, and the rest of the top resolutions were spending less money and saving more, improving health and eating healthier.

Fitness club sign-ups in the first few months of the year trend upward, and while they can be costly, affordable gym options can provide regular exercise, which is one of the best ways to boost cardiovascular health, according to Harvard Health Publications, the media division of Harvard Medical School.

“We like people to kind of find a home without a necessary commitment right away. They can come to the gym and see if it’s the right fit for them.”

Gina Giarrante-Rodriguez

Joliet Park District fitness superintendent The main advantage to joining a gym is having “access to a wide variety of exercise equipment,” Alex Petruska, a senior physical therapist at the Sports Medicine Center of Massachusetts General Hospital, said in Harvard Health Publications.

That equipment includes machines such as treadmills, elliptical trainers, stationary bikes and others for cardiovascular workouts. Harvard health experts also recommended moderate-intensity exercise such as brisk walking

for burning fast, which is easier to sustain for longer periods of time.

At the Inwood Athletic Club, a twoweek free guest pass will begin Tuesday. Giarrante-Rodriguez said the park district always offers the guest pass at the beginning of January and it’s a great way for people who starting out with fitness.

“We like people to kind of find a home without a necessary commitment right away,” she said. “They can come to the gym and see if it’s the right fit for them.”

The park district also is offering its annual Joliet Weight Loss Challenge.

The program, free and open to the public, will have a weigh-in from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. between Jan. 16 and 17.

The program was started as a public campaign to fight obesity. Last March, 419 participants weighed in and the results were a combined 2,416 pounds lost.

“It kind of gets people motivated,” Rodriguez said.

MORRIS – It’s the new year, and for many people that means making a resolution to get fit.

While some have been working out for a long time, others will make their way to the gym for the first time as they resolve to do better.

Losing weight and getting healthy have been in the top five New Year’s resolution lists for the past two years, according to Nielsen.com.

Morris YMCA members were working toward their fitness goals on Monday.

Century 21 Coleman-Hornsby makes donation to Will-Grundy Easter Seals SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Century 21 Coleman-Hornsby recently presented a check in the amount of $6,174 to Will-Grundy Easter Seals as a result of a yearlong fundraiser. Agents of Century 21 Coleman-Hornsby donated $21 from each of their closings throughout 2016.

The company then matched the agents’ donations.

Some of the agents who participated were in attendance for the presentation although nearly 100 percent participated in the fundraiser.

“I am proud that our team of agents are the highest producing sales team in the area, but I am more proud that they volunteer so much of their time and money to help organizations in the communities that we serve,” broker-owner Shawn Hornsby said in a news release. “Our company has a culture of helping others and that culture starts with our agents who every year raise funds for Easter Seals and dozens of other local organizations.”

“We are so happy to receive this generous check. With the challenging financial situation at the State of Illinois level, we can use this to help fund our autism services. We have a long list of families with kids waiting to attend our diagnostic clinic,” Deb Strahanoski, development manager for the

OPINIONS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Global warming – why I mow my grass in December

To the Editor: I just finished mowing my front lawn on Dec. 3.

Each year I have been mowing later in the fall.

It’s supposed to snow tomorrow. Maybe that will stop the grass from growing until spring. Yesterday, I saw landscapers out mowing their client’s grass.

Leaves fall because of lessening sunlight and grass stops growing when the temperature drops.

In the 1980s, I finished

mowing before many leaves had fallen. A decade later, I mowed leaves and grass. Now all the leaves are down, most raked up, and I am hopefully finished mowing for 2016.

For those who haven’t guessed, it’s called global warming.

Oh yes, the Rockefeller Foundation just filed suit against Exxon for hiding the truth about their contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Chuck Johnson Morris

Changing Obamacare likely means higher costs, less coverage – or both Lori Eng, a 62-year-old office manager who works in western Nebraska, sent an email not long ago telling me she was “terrified” she might lose her Obamacare health insurance. The many horror stories passed along in the media had frightened her, and she wanted me to hear from someone who had benefited from the law.

No wonder Eng is scared. Ever since the Affordable Care Act passed almost seven years ago, opponents, mostly Republicans, have vowed to repeal the law and replace it with a different plan.

The November election results now make that a possibility.

Eng didn’t have health insurance before the Affordable Care Act came along. Her four-day-a-week job did not provide it, and her salary – less than $20,000 a year – was too low for her to swing an insurance premium. She bought her first Obamacare policy from one of the insurance co-ops that operated in Iowa and Nebraska that was supposed to offer cheaper coverage. It did – until it collapsed. With her government subsidy, she was able to buy a plan for only $50. She also qualified for an extra subsidy to help pay her deductible and coinsurance.

When the co-op failed, as most eventually did, she got a similar plan the next year from another company.

Because her subsidy had increased, she paid only $34 each month. That

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Trudy Lieberman year Eng was diagnosed with breast cancer, and her treatment, which included chemotherapy and a double mastectomy, cost around $200,000. She paid just $1,450 out of pocket.

This year, marketplace realities hit home. Premiums and deductibles were going up a lot. She found a plan with a relatively small deductible; but still must pay 20 percent co-insurance on everything until she reaches $2,250, the policy’s out-of-pocket limit. Other plans had much higher out-of-pocket limits, a risk she couldn’t take considering her health.

“I’m hanging on by my toenails until I get Medicare if it’s still there when I’m able to get it,” Eng told me.

Because of people like Eng, it’s unlikely Congress will simply repeal the existing law without creating a new plan to help out people with Obamacare policies. What it will be is anyone’s guess. But if it follows the thinking laid out by Georgia Rep. Tom Price, the incoming secretary of health and human services, it might well mean people will pay more.

Price proposes scrapping the individual mandate that requires nearly

everyone to carry health insurance and eliminating the federal subsidies that make insurance premiums affordable for people like Eng. Instead, policyholders would be given tax credits to help buy insurance. Whether the credits would be adequate, given how high premiums are now, is an open question. More insurance policies would be offered with health savings accounts; a tax-advantaged arrangement consumers would use to pay most of their bills. It would be combined with high-deductible insurance for catastrophic medical bills.

A new plan would continue to let people with pre-existing health conditions obtain coverage, but there might be strings attached. They might need to have been covered for a certain period, like 18 months, before obtaining new coverage. Insurers want to stop people from signing up when they get sick.

The minimum benefits now required for Obamacare policies might become a thing of the past. That means insurers could offer cheaper coverage without maternity or psychiatric care or other services that will make policies cheaper and possibly more attractive to younger people.

Older people could end up paying a lot more. Currently the law prohibits insurers from charging older policyholders more than three times what they charge younger ones who are pre-

sumably in better health. Under a new version of Obamacare, older people could pay five times more.

Keep in mind no health system is perfect. Every system has the same stresses and strains resulting from increasing drug prices, high-priced technology and physician demands for more money. How countries address those cost pressures involves tradeoffs.

All countries, including ours, limit medical services, a point to remember when the spin takes over in the Obamacare war. Other countries may have a fixed number of very expensive imaging machines available in a particular hospital or community, so queues form for some kinds of treatments. In the U.S., the cost of care limits who receives it. If you can’t afford some high-priced scan or have no insurance, chances are you won’t get the service.

I’m not a betting person, but if I had to wager on an Obamacare replacement, I would bet it would almost certainly mean Eng and millions of others will assume more of the financial burden for their care.

United Way turns 70, still growing with help

United Way of Grundy County celebrated its 70th year in Grundy County in 2016.

It has been interesting to go back through archives and files from years past and see how things have progressed through the years.

Every year the donations increased, the support of programs and services increased to help those in need in the community.

In 1946, our United Way, known then as the Community Chest, raised $1,800, which supported three local nonprofit agencies in Grundy County.

Fast-forward to 2016, where we raised nearly $500,000, supporting 31 local nonprofit Community Partner Agencies who provide more than 50 vital programs and services in Grundy County.

United Way of Grundy County creates opportunities by focusing on

COMMUNITY PULSE Karen Nall the building blocks for a good life: education, income and health.

Our United Way supports many programs in these main focus areas.

Such programs and services include basic human needs, education, school readiness, health, mental health, crisis intervention, transportation, youth, seniors and disaster relief.

When you and others contribute to United Way of Grundy County, the money stays local in our community, which helps more than one person, more than one program and more than one nonprofit agency.

It is through the generous sup-

port received throughout the year that we are able to make such a positive impact in the community.

United Way of Grundy County also serves as a volunteer hub for Grundy County, helping to match individuals with opportunities for volunteering, community service hours, and projects for companies to do for local nonprofit agencies.

United Way of Grundy County is a member of the United Way of Illinois and the United Way Worldwide.

Staff serve on several community committees including the Behavioral Health Alliance of Grundy County, Grundy Partnership for Children, Grundy County Inter-Agency Council and the Grundy County COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disaster).

Our goal is to always make a greater positive impact in our community that helps lead to lasting

change.

It is through the donations and generosity of those who support our efforts that we continue to make a difference in the lives of others in Grundy County.

A great way to learn about our United Way efforts through the years is to view a video created by SafeHouse Inc. The video can be found on our YouTube channel or by directly visiting https://youtu.be/5Rjx1C9rKb0.

For information about the programs and services available for those in need, or to make a donation, contact the United Way of Grundy County at 815-942-4430, visit www.UWGrundy.org, or find us on Facebook and Twitter.

• Karen Nall is the executive director of United Way of Grundy County.

Author Gary W. Moore to hold book-signing at Coal City library SUBMITTED REPORT COAL CITY – Award-winning author and speaker Gary W. Moore will sign copies of his new book “The Final Service” at the Coal City Public Library at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 19.

“Moore tells us about ourselves while writing about others. Never is that more true than in ‘The Final Service,’ where a father’s misunderstood love nearly tears his daughter apart. Love doesn’t always come in the shape we expect. If we are lucky,

we realize that before it’s too late,” Steve Bertrand of WGN Radio in Chicago said in a news release.

According to the release, the story is about a daughter’s love for her veteran father that deteriorated into anger and bitterness as she grew older and he became less attentive, drank too much, and failed in several ventures.

When he dies of cancer after her 40th birthday, she sheds no tears.

She resents that she alone is given the overwhelming task of emptying

a large storage barn filled with years of material accumulations – a monumental legacy he left for his daughter alone.

Her emotions, self-doubt and disappointment spiral downward into depression and alcohol and, in a crisis of faith, she contemplates taking her own life.

Then, when and where she needs him most, a stranger enters her life.

And everything changes once more. “ ‘The Final Service’ is a story of understanding, forgiveness, family

and faith. It’s a reminder that the troubles we encounter have a purpose, and forces more powerful than our own are at work in our lives in ways we are unable to fully comprehend,” according to the release.

‘The Final Service’ is being made into a movie that is scheduled to go into production later this year.

The movie is being produced by Positivity Pictures LLC and directed

by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Kieth W. Merrill, screenplay also by Kieth W. Merrill.

MORRIS – As part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign, the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office was out this holiday season working to save lives by keeping drunken drivers off our roads.

“Too often, drivers get wrapped up in the excitement of the holidays and make the foolish decision to drive after drinking,” Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said.“But no one should ever drive impaired by alcohol or drugs. Always hand the keys to a sober driver or face the consequences. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”

From Dec. 16, 2016, through Jan. 1, 2017, Grundy County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested three drivers who had blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) over the legal limit of 0.08. In addition, 87 drivers and passengers received citations for not wearing seat belts, and 22 individuals were cited or arrested for drug offenses.

“To help Illi- Kevin Callahan nois drive zero fa- Grundy sheriff talities to reality, we warned partygoers to never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs or face the consequences if they did – and we kept our word,” Callahan said. “These offenders now realize their actions have serious and potentially fatal consequences, and we hope they will never put themselves or others at risk by driving impaired by alcohol or drugs again.

Grundy Bank announces holidays light contest winners SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Grundy Bank hosted its second annual Home for the Holidays Light Contest this year. It is a new tradition they hope to continue.

“As a child, my parents would drive my sister and I around to look at Christmas lights.” Grundy Bank Marketing Director J.R. Hock said in a news release.

“I have always loved this tradition and started it with my own children a few years back.”

Hock thought of the idea a couple of years ago after watching the ABC 7 Christmas Light Fight and decided it would be fun to start one in Morris. Hock said in the release that she feels Grundy Bank represents community and as a child, Hock remembers attending the bank’s Ice Cream Social’s and Spaghetti Dinners, so she thought the bank was a great platform to start yet another community event such as this.

“We enjoy being involved, so why not get involved at Christmastime,” Hock said in the release.

This year’s winners were Scott & Ashley Swanson who live at 2007 Locust Road. From Santa in the window to the Christmas tree top coming out of the roof, the home is a must see. The winners received an official yard sign to show off

their victory as well as a trophy and a gift basket.

“When we were kids, we both loved driving around looking at Christmas lights so we wanted to help keep that magic alive,” Ashley Swanson said. “Though many people don’t do outside decorations anymore, we like to decorate so that kids can have the joy of looking at lights that we always enjoyed as kids.”

Scott Swanson had the dream of having his own Winter Wonderland, so over the past couple of years, they’ve collected some trees and lots of lights to pull it off.

It took the Swanson’s about 24 hours over a week and a half to get their yard complete. The most time-consuming elements were the “Merry Christmas” and “Joy to the World” signs. They had over 6,000 mini outside lights and 126 feet of rope lighting and 19 lit Christmas trees.

The community was invited to vote for their favorite via Grundy Bank’s Facebook page where the top 5 homes were selected.

Those homes were then judged by members of the Morris Downtown Development Partnership who sponsors the Home for the Holiday’s event over Thanksgiving weekend. Honorable mentions also go to 1034 Kiersted St., 116 Meadors Circle, 1620 Little Willow Road, and 804 Fulton St.

You are confronted, literally, with a wall of choices when buying even that simple tool of personal grooming, hygiene and health: the toothbrush.

Gums don’t need any help getting damaged, especially for people who do not brush regularly. For example, when bacteria and tartar are on teeth for a long time, they can cause inflammation (gingivitis). Just like hard brushing, that makes the gums red, swollen and easy to bleed.

There is a dazzling array of colors, sizes, styles, shapes, weights. Bristle patterns are rectangular, round, oval, square. You can “do it yourself” with a manual brush, or just steer one around your mouth while battery power spins the bristles and does all the work.

Untreated gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, an infection below the gum line that can break down the bone and tissue that holds teeth in place.

Dr. Eric Salud, lead dentist at Complete Comfort Dental in Channahon, says any of those will do the job, used properly, since a toothbrush is basically a toothbrush.

Your dentist can tell whether a problem is developing. They can also explain how to brush properly, a good defense if you have the right tool.

But he also says many people forget the most important factor in making the choice: softness.

Dr. Salud also said a toothbrush with a tongue scraper might also help reduce bacteria.

That bacteria is also a source of bad breath.

“Most people think they’re only brushing their teeth, but they’re brushing their gums at the same time,” he said. “The most important part is the bristles, to make sure you get soft

32 BOYS BASKETBALL: 24-TEAM PLANO CHRISTMAS CLASSIC

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH

Morris’ Matt Shaw shoots a free throw at the Plano Christmas Classic. Shaw averaged 17 points in the five games and was named to the all-tournament team.

Morris places 6th; Redskins’ Matt Shaw named to all-tourney team STAFF REPORTS PLANO – The hot shooting that had helped bring the Morris boys basketball team victories in the first two rounds of the Plano Christmas Classic evaporated for the Redskins in the first half Wednesday in a 51-37 quarterfinal loss to Newark.

Morris, which had shot nearly 60 percent from the floor in its wins over Fenton and Streator, was able to muster up just 22.2 percent shooting in the first half Wednesday as Newark built a 26-14 halftime lead.

“I don’t say this to take anything away from Newark, but I think the two 9 a.m. games caught up with us a bit,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “We lacked energy and intensity early. And that’s very hard to understand, considering the atmosphere and opportunity we had.

“The game was called tight early, and that took away some of our aggressive play. I also thought we got caught up in the officials’ calls instead of just playing the game, and that starts with me. We are used to a more physical game, and we didn’t adjust appropriately.”

“We didn’t handle their full court pressure and it was like pulling teeth, again, to get our guys to move without the ball. Their zone also frustrated us.”

Foul trouble also plagued the Redskins, as starting guards Delaney Stutzki and JaQuan Boxley each fouled out and forward and second-leading scorer Tyler Spiezio finished the game with four fouls.

Matt Shaw led the Redskins (4-5) with 13 points, but was the only Morris player to reach double figures.

Boxley finished with nine points, while Spiazio had four points and a team-high seven rebounds.

high 20 points to lead Newark, while Cameron Myre scored 11 and Beau Brown eight.

“We aren’t that deep at the guard position, and having two starters foul out hurt any chance of a comeback,” Blumberg said. “But they stretch out defenses well and Clausel is so good with the ball in his hands that a 10-point deficit felt like 20.”

Morris 45, Kaneland 26: C o m ing off of a defeat at the hands of fourth-seeded Newark at the Plano Holiday Classic, it might have been easy for the members of Morris boys

basketball team to hang their heads and go through the motions for the rest of the tournament.

The 12th-seeded Redskins, however, shook off the defeat and started fresh Thursday, outscoring Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference rival Kaneland, the eighth seed, in every quarter en route to a 45-26 win to advance to Friday’s fifth-place game against No.14 Peoria Notre Dame.

Tipoff is at 5 p.m.

“After rewatching the Newark film, we were very disappointed with our team’s effort,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “We didn’t move

without the ball, weren’t sharp cutting to open space, and didn’t attack versus their doubles. And our lack of offensive success led to poor defensive intensity and closeouts. It’s unacceptable and I feel bad for our fans that drove up to support us. We should be better than that.”

The Redskins (5-5) gave the fans a show the night after, jumping out to a 7-0 lead in the early going and holding a 9-4 advantage through the first quarter.

Morris extended its lead to 18-7 at

halftime and 33-18 at the end of the third quarter.

“I thought our guys responded unbelievably well tonight,” Blumberg said. “We converted layups off doubles and traps. I thought we attacked the offensive glass and did a good job defending Kaneland’s posts. As the minutes ticked, and our lead grew, Kaneland increased their pressure, and for the most part, we responded.”

“Josh Lain and Kam Dransfeldt sparked us off the bench. Nate Halcomb was very good in the defensive end Ty Spiezio was more aggressive attacking the run off the bounce and cuts.”

Lain was 2 of 2 from the field to finish with four points and added four rebounds, while Dransfeldt blocked a shot and had three steals.

Matt Shaw led the Redskins in scoring with 16 points and added five rebounds, while JaQuan Boxley had 11 points to go with four rebounds and two steals. Spiezio led with nine rebounds and chipped in with eight points.

ent? And their collective answer was, absolutely,” Blumberg said. “And that’s the tough part about not giving a max effort. They will never get that opportunity or chance back. Ever.

The pain of discipline and effort is never as difficult as the pain of regret.”

Peoria Notre Dame 44, Morris 31: In the tournament’s fifth-place game, the Redskins (5-6) opened the game by taking a 7-6 lead at the end of the first quarter, but struggled to find the range in the middle quarters. Peoria Notre Dame outscored Morris 25-9 in the second and third quarters to take a 31-16 lead into the fourth quarter.

Matt Shaw led Morris with 15 points, but he was the only Redskin to reach double digits in the scoring column. Tyler Spiezio had seven points to go with a team-high five rebounds, while Payton Voitik was a perfect 3 for 3 from the field off the bench to finish with six points. Morris shot just 10 of 33 (30.3 percent) from the floor for the game.

Shaw was named to the all-tournament team after finishing with a scoring average of 17 points per game. He tied for second with 14 3-pointers made (14 of 29, 48.3 percent). His PARS (Points+Assists+Rebounds+Steals) total was sixth in the tournament with 123. Spiezio tied for fourth in the tournament with a rebounding average of 7.2 per game.

34 AREA ROUNDUP

Coal City wrestlers take title at Abe’s Rumble STAFF REPORTS

SPRINGFIELD – After finishing second last year at the Class 1A state tournament, the Coal City wrestling team served notice to the rest of the state that the Coalers will be a force to be reckoned with again this season by winning the Abe’s Rumble Classic at the Prairie Capital Convention Center.

The Coalers, currently ranked No. 3 in the state in Class 1A by illinoismatmen.com, topped second-ranked Lena-Winslow/Stockton in the title match, 35-30.

Danny Norton’s 13-3 major decision over Kyle Kalkbrenner in a battle of state qualifiers at 160 helped boost the Coalers to the victory.

Rahveon Valentine (170) and Elijah Rowe (182) opened with the match with pins to give Lena-Winslow/Stockton a 12-0 lead, but Bryan Stopka won at 195 and Brock Crawford scored a pin at 220 to narrow the gap to 12-9 for Coal City.

Lena’s Ian Kuehl then recorded a pin at 285 to make it 18-9.

Coal City won the next three matches, with Alex Friddle edging Austin Vincent, 2-1, in a battle of state placewinners at 113, to tie the match at 18, and state placewinner Jake Hiles’ pin at 120 gave the Coalers their first lead at 24-18.

Lena-Winslow’s Winston McPeek (126) tied the match again, this time at 24, with a pin, but Coal City’s Ryan Wasilewski posted an 8-7 decision over state placewinner Hunter Luke at 132 to give Coal City the lead for good, 2724.

In Thursday’s opening round against Sherrard, the Coalers’ match ended in a 36-36 tie – one the Coalers squeaked through with an advantage in near-fall points.

Coal City then beat Macomb in the quarterfinals, 49-24, and beat Olympia in the semifinals, 50-24.

Seneca finished 24th at the 42-team event, scoring wins over Pittsfield, Heyworth and Lawrenceville in pool action and St. Joe-Ogden in bracket action.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers West Virginia allows Sunday hunting in certain counties, and Maryland, New Jersey and Connecticut allow hunting on Sunday in certain instances.

These regulations can be traced all the way back to colonial times when “blue laws” were commonplace.

These laws used commands from the Old Testament to justify suspending commerce and other activities on the Sabbath.

The idea of resting on the Sabbath was taken quite seriously and, at that point in history, hunting was not considered recreational, it was necessary to maintain food for the table.

As the years passed, merchants began to challenge the laws. By 1970, only 25 states still had blue laws. By the next decade, that number had dropped to 13.

While hunters in most states have long forgotten about the Sunday restrictions, these 11 states have been

fighting to change the laws for some time. The most used argument for the allowance of Sunday hunting in these states is the economic impact it will have.

According to the Sunday Hunting Coalition, the amount of dollars that would be pumped into local economies would be enormous.

Not only would it allow for the creation of more jobs to staff related hunting industries, it would then trickle down to gas stations, hotels, restaurants, and all sorts of other businesses that benefit from people out-and-about on another day of the week.

The financial impact could be so great, the companies that make up the Sunday Hunting Coalition are some of the biggest names in the industry.

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s are the two largest retailers in the outdoors world, and since they have merged as one, their reach is even greater.

Some of the other nonprofit organizations that have jumped into the controversy are Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, The Boone and Crockett Club, the Archery Trade Associa-

tion, and others.

I’m sure that the vote in West Virginia is coming up soon. It will be interesting to see what happens. I find it noteworthy that the proposed legislation change is asking to hunt only on private ground, not on stateowned land.

I can see how hunters in these states are adamant about being allowed to hunt on Sundays.

For many people, the weekend is the only time they are able to venture into the outdoors.

As the last billboard voicing support for Sunday hunting faded in the distance, I thought about the many hours I have spent on Sundays traipsing through the woods and waters.

If Illinois still had that law, my time outdoors would have looked quite different.

As time marches on, lifestyles and cultures adjust.

Laws that have been on the books for generations need to be looked at and possibly altered to reflect the times. Will the Sunday hunting laws in these states change? Time will tell.

It is easy to get wrapped up in our own little world.

Our day-to-day routines become commonplace and we assume what we do in our locale is the same everywhere.

This last week I traveled to North Carolina and was reminded of the vast differences each state deals with in regard to the outdoors.

As we crossed through West Virginia, I noticed many billboards that said, “Vote Yes for Sunday Hunting on Private Land Only. My Land. My Choice!”

The fact that there are still states that ban or place limitations on hunting on a Sunday had escaped my mind.

In Illinois, we can hunt on any day of the week and back when I traveled the country hunting and fishing, I ran into this law only a few times.

As of today, there are 11 states that have restrictions of some sort.

Four states ban hunting on Sunday altogether.

They are Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine and Pennsylvania.

Three states allow Sunday hunting on private land; those are South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.

NFL playoffs await Ninkovich; others miss out VIEWS Dick Goss Before the NFL season began, the Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints were on many observers’ lists of potential playoff teams.

That none of the three will be in the postseason cost the Joliet area some of the local representation it would have had beginning with this weekend’s wild-card playoff games.

Denver running back Kapri Bibbs, a Plainfield North graduate, actually would not have been involved even if the Broncos (9-7) had qualified. He suffered a high ankle sprain and was placed on injured reserve in early December, meaning his season ended then.

He had appeared in all 12 games to that point and had rushed for 129 yards in 29 carries, a 4.4 average, and had caught two passes for 75 yards, one a 69-yarder for a touchdown. In addition, he made two solo tackles on special teams.

Antonio Morrison (Bolingbrook), a rookie linebacker, played in all 16 games and started the final four for Indianapolis (8-8). In his four starts, he totaled 32 tackles, including 17 solo, to finish with 52 stops, including 33 solo.

Morrison’s rookie teammate with the Colts, Josh Ferguson (Joliet Catholic), rushed for 20 yards in 15 carries, caught 20 passes for 136 yards,

Bears head coach John Fox watches a replay during an NFL preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2016 in Chicago. returned four kickoffs for a 20.0 average and made five tackles on special teams.

In his first year at New Orleans (7-9), tight end Coby Fleener (JCA) finished with a fourth straight season of catching 50 or more passes. He caught 50 for 631 yards, a 12.6 average, and three touchdowns. He was targeted 82 times. He also scored on a 2-yard run against Carolina on his first and only NFL rushing attempt.

Fleener played the first four years of his career at Indianapolis before signing a five-year deal with the Saints as a free agent. After catching 26 passes in his rookie season of 2012,

he caught 52 in 2013, 51 in 2014 and 54 in 2015. His career numbers are 233 receptions for 2,785 yards and 20 touchdowns, eight of which came in 2014.

Yet even with a few of our local NFL players missing the playoffs, this area will have some representation in the postseason.

Leading that group is New England outside linebacker/defensive end Rob Ninkovich (Lincoln-Way Central, Joliet Junior College). Following a fourgame suspension to open the season after testing positive for a banned substance, Ninkovich played in 12 games, starting 11, and made 32 tackles, 17 of which were solo, with four sacks and a

forced fumble. The 11-year veteran entered this season on a streak of having started 102 consecutive games.

The Patriots (14-2), of course, have a bye on this wild-card weekend. They will host Houston, Oakland or Miami in the divisional playoffs next week.

Tight end Brandon Williams (JJC) is No. 3 on the Seattle Seahawks’ depth chart and is likely to be in action Saturday night when the Seahawks (10-5-1) host the Detroit Lions. Williams, who played at Oregon after JJC, has caught two passes for 36 yards, returned a kickoff 12 yards and made six tackles on special teams, four of them solo.

Tight end Clay Harbor (Dwight) figures to be on the opposite sideline in the Detroit-Seattle game. After appearing in three games early this season with New England, Harbor was released and signed with the Lions (97). He has played in 12 games for them, starting two, and has caught three passes for 19 yards. He also has made two tackles on special teams.

The New York Giants (10-5-1) will open the playoffs at Green Bay (10-6) on Sunday afternoon. Offensive guard Adam Gettis (Lincoln-Way East) is on the Giants’ practice squad and is not likely to be added to the active roster.

He has been with the Giants virtually all season. He was waived in mid-December and was signed to the team’s practice squad a few days later.

38 ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER

Smartphone at bedtime disturbs sleep Dear Doctor: I recently sent my mom an email at midnight, and ever since then she’s been after me to stop using my smartphone at bedtime. She insists that the light from the screen interferes with sleep patterns. Is that really true?

Dear Reader: I’m pretty sure this isn’t the answer you’re looking for, but your mother is right. The ways in which the “blue light” emitted by smartphones, tablets and computer screens affects sleep patterns is quite a hot topic in scientific circles these days. And according to the scores of studies done in recent years, the answer is consistently the same: Yes, these devices do have a negative effect on your nightly rest.

This is troubling because insufficient sleep is associated with serious conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, depression and even obesity.

About one-third of all Americans don’t get the seven hours of sleep that are recommended to maintain good mental and physical health.

In fact, the sleep deficit in the United States is so severe that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now identify it as a public health problem.

So how do the multiple screens in our lives figure into the epidemic of insufficient sleep?

Light is the cue your brain relies on to sync itself with the outside world. It regulates your circadian rhythms, which influence sleep patterns, hormone releases, body temperature and other vital functions.

Smartphones, tablets and computers all emit high-energy light in the blue spectrum.

This particular wavelength, which is similar to sunlight, has been shown to suppress the release of melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain that makes you feel sleepy.

When you use your smartphone at night,

SUDOKU

even up to 90 minutes before you go to sleep, you’re confusing your body clock. The blue light from the screen is telling your brain it’s still daytime. That suppresses the release of melatonin, which makes it difficult for you to fall asleep.

Once you do drift off, the disruption to your circadian rhythm is profound enough that it’s difficult to stay asleep. What sleep that you do manage to get is often of poor quality. Instead of feeling refreshed when you wake up, you face the day tired.

Some smartphone makers have introduced an option to move the self-illuminated screen from bright blue to a warmer yellow/red spectrum, as with Apple’s “Night Shift.” And while this may a have modest effect on sleep, we would recommend that putting your phone away at bedtime is a better idea.

To give yourself the best chance at a good night’s sleep: • Read from a printed book rather than an illuminated screen.

• Make your bedroom as dark as possible.

Use curtains to block exterior light, and eliminate inside light from clock dials, TV sets and, yes, smartphones.

• Do what you can to block out sound – earplugs or a white noise machine can help.

• Keep your bedroom cool; 65 to 68 degrees is ideal.

• Steer clear of large meals before bedtime.

• Be aware that caffeine and alcohol can interfere with sleep.

Remember – how you feel during the day has a lot to do with how well you slept the night before.
