High school sports – bang for the buck Maybe it was the unseasonably mild weather, but this winter high school sports season seemed to pass much more quickly that some of those in the past.

We’ve already had individual wrestling medals given out, with a state runner-up finish for Morris’ Cody Baldridge, thirdplace medals for Coal City’s Alex Friddle, Jake Hiles and Brock Crawford and sixth for Coaler Daniel Jezik. The girls basketball teams in the area are already done, and the boys begin their quest for Peoria this week.

The Illinois High School Association claims it is the home of the original March Madness, so it should be fun to see whether one of our local teams can serve as a bracket buster. Newark is a No. 1 seed, but they are playing in one of the toughest gyms around for a visiting team to win at Gardner-South Wilmington.

It’s a classic old gym, one of my favorite places to watch a game. There’s hardly any out-of-bounds room, there’s a stage along one side and all the bleachers are on the other, allowing the fans of both teams to mingle and share pleasantries. And, if it’s a heated game, unpleasantries.

Given the intense local pride both G-SW and Newark have in their programs, it

Rob Oesterle could be a very interesting place to be if they both reach Friday night’s regional title game. In fact, it’s hard to beat a high school sporting event for entertainment value. For a few bucks, you can take the entire family and enjoy watching the kids from your own town pit their hard work against that of the kids from another town.

And they aren’t doing it for a big salary.

If you’re lucky, you might see one or two kids a year that are going to go on and play on scholarship in college. What you are getting is a group of kids that are playing a game strictly because they love to do it.

They may not jump the highest or run the fastest or throw the hardest, but the love of the game shines through, no matter what sport it is. The heart and desire can’t be measured, but it’s the most noticeable of all.

When the spring season comes around, go out to your local high school baseball or softball field and catch a game. You won’t

Longtime Peru priest lived a multifaceted life of service

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

SOUTH WILMINGTON – The Rev. Matthew Mazzuchelli loved God. He also loved his family, St. Bede Abbey in Peru, where he lived, and the people of St. Lawrence Catholic Church in South Wilmington, where Matthew served on weekends for nearly 50 years.

His favorite recreation was dinner with close friends and sharing of tales from the past.

For Matthew, that was end of the story.

But the people who knew and loved Matthew recognized various aspects of his multifaceted gifts.

To Bette O’Donnell, of Peru, who is married to Matthew’s cousin, Michael O’Donnell, Matthew was a sto-

ryteller extraordinaire and a great historical resource, especially in terms of the O’Donnell family genealogy. Matthew also was dedicated to the care of the abbey, inside and out, as well as St. Bede Academy.

That’s where Matthew taught mathematics and typing for several years after his ordination in 1958, when he – formerly known as Charles Mazzuchelli – took the name Matthew.

“He was also the abbey locksmith, so he dealt with all the locks on the outer doors,” Bette said.

“And he also had a workshop down in the basement of the monastery.”

In that workshop Matthew created decorative woodwork for the abbey. He also crafted beautiful pieces which members of

see someone ground to short or second and just jog down the baseline and turn around before even getting to the bag like you see in the pros from time to time. You are going to see kids hustling their hind ends off to get to the bag. The same goes for any sport.

If there’s a loose ball on the football field, everyone will be diving after it. 50-50 balls in soccer are gone after with high intensity.

Rebounds in basketball are chased into the stands.

The players love the game, and it’s infectious. The student sections are large, loud and enthusiastic. Most schools have taken to having theme nights where the students are instructed to dress in a certain manner.

It all promotes school pride and unity, and there’s never anything wrong with that.

So, go check out a local high school game. It’s worth the couple of bucks for admission, and the money goes back into the athletic program, which helps pay for improvements such as field or court repair or uniforms or anything else the athletic department might need. It’s a win-win, and those situations are rare these days.

In a friendly rivalry, the Fuzz take on the Faculty in a charity game Saturday night at Morris High School.

GETTING EVERYONE INVOLVED Faculty comes out ahead of the Fuzz on the basketball court

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hltchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Fuzz team, comprised of local police officers, decided to take a different strategy in this year’s Faculty vs. Fuzz charity basketball game, but to no avail; they couldn’t produce the points needed at the end to win.

The Fuzz, donning their blue uniforms, took to the court early with the Special Connections’ Special Olympics team in a game that should have warmed them up, but it didn’t help.

“We lost, but it was a lot of fun to

play with the Special Olympians,” Morris Patrolman Derek Zumbahlen said.

He said their coach, Jeremy McNabb, told him there had been a lot of talking about the Olympians and how they’d like to play with the police officers, so they decided this would be the year it happened.

Special Olympian Marin Lock said it was inspiring to have the police on the court with them, playing as their equals.

Superintendent Pat Halloran has a different mindset about what led the faculty to win by a few points – using

younger players and the lack of their coach.

“Jeff Johnson, our coach, was missing. He was downstate with one of the teams. We do better without him,” Halloran said.

Halloran said that in addition to the absence of the coach, the team added more youthful teachers and coaches who gave them the upper hand.

There appeared to be a little less street ball this year, no injuries and a more orderly game – no one had to end up in detention.

“From the game standpoint, everyone was involved and on point,” Hal-

loran said.

Zumbahlen had a different take on the game, however.

He said it’s all about the athletes and getting them to state, where they can compete against their peers.

“Well, I mean, at the end of the day, we are supporting local athletes, and we enjoy doing it,” he said.

This year, the red team took gold and the white team took silver when they played at state in Bloomington.

Money raised from the event is split between Special Connections of Grundy County and the Illinois Torch Run.

Public invited to 7th annual Night at the Races If you go

By HEIDI LITCHFILED

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Inside the gym of Immaculate Conception School, horses will line up ready to take the lead in their respective race, for funny money that is.

This weekend marks the eighth annual “Night at the Races,” where attendees can bet funny money on horses with names such as “Long Term Bull” and “Passing Wind.”

Shawn Hornsby, emcee for the fundraiser, said it’s hard to imagine what the fundraiser looks like with hundreds of people screaming at a large-screen projector, hoping that the horse they bet on wins the race.

Hornsby said the one-of-a-kind fundraiser even comes with a money-back guarantee.

“If it isn’t the most fun you’ve had at a fundraiser, you can get your money back,” Hornsby said. “No one has asked for a refund yet.”

The fundraiser starts with a home-cooked meal, which this year will be pulled pork straight from the smoker, before the races begin.

Ten horses will compete in each of 10 races, which have been prerecorded.

Hornsby said the horses are all

Coal City schools celebrate a century

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – When Linda Zelinko walked the halls of the Coal City school located at 305 E. Division St., it was the Coal City High School.

Saturday, as she made her way through the halls with Jill Zelinko, it was a bit different. The girls were a bit older and the tables appeared smaller and the outside of the school announced it as the Coal City Intermediate School.

“It’s nice to see all the school rooms,” she said. “I had to stop and think about

where the cafeteria was.”

But it was more than just the rooms.

It was the people who stood out.

Linda Zelinko said she was stopped several people and often she had to ask who they were, because she couldn’t remember them all.

Jill Zelinko said it’s hard to explain the school.

“It’s different, but it’s the same,” she said.

There is a lot of history in those walls for the family. Their mom went there, their dad, their grandpa and grandma.

What brought them the biggest thrills, though, was going from room to room decade to decade and picking out those family members. They said it was fun to find pictures of their parents, long forgotten, doing the things everyday high school students do.

Lynn Nicoletti said you realize how different things are and how fast time flies.

The class of 1971 was the final group to graduate from the school building, constructed in 1916 as the community’s first new high school.

The doors opened on Feb. 12, 1917.

Prior to that, high school classes for the newly established Coal City Community High School were held in two storefronts located within the village.

At the time of their graduation in spring 1971, the school had served the community for 54 years and the time had come to expand into a new space.

Although the original high school wasn’t overcrowded, enrollment was starting to increase and the building needed its share of repairs.

The school district opened the doors to the new high school at 655 W. Division St. in the fall of 1971.

will give the safe dating presentation, which informs teen girls about how to date safely at prom. Goodwin said she sees an increase in sexual activity around prom and wants girls to know how to protect themselves on dates.

“It’s important to protect themselves on a date. Saying ‘No’ means ‘No,’ and we teach them how to say ‘No.’ Guardian Angel will also teach the teens signs and symptoms of a partner who gets too aggressive, and how to be cognitive of their surroundings,” Goodwin said.

The Grundy County Nursing Division also will give a presentation on health when it comes to dating. Goodwin said she has held the expo for three years, this year being its final year.

She started this because there was not an expo in this part of Grundy County.

She said the dresses are free to the girls because, “if girls want to go to the prom, this gives them an opportunity to get a dress and go have a good time without the limitations of buying a dress.”

Because of this being the final year of the expo’s operation, any dresses not taken at this event will be donated to Melissa’s Closet and Crystal’s Jewelry Box prom fundraiser, which will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 4 at the Godley Park District. For sponsorship information, contact Paula Goodwin at 815-941-3130 or pgoodwin@roe24.org.

Day of free dresses, safety advice in its final year This Saturday, teen girls from the Grundy County area are encouraged to attend Prom Expo 2017 to learn about safe dating and to take home a free prom dress and accessories.

Expo coordinator Paula Goodwin of the No Tolerance Task Force said teens from Grundy County can come to the Grundy County Administration Center at 8:30 a.m. at 1320 Union Street in Morris to browse dresses and register for prizes. Some prizes include a free prom entry to a participating high school.

Goodwin said that the teens who wish to attend need to arrive at 8:30 a.m. to browse the dresses hung on racks and then attend the safe dating presentations from 9 to 10:15 a.m. After the presentations, girls are encouraged to use one of the many dressing rooms to try on and take as many dresses as they would use.

Goodwin said that more than 500 dresses – ranging from all current styles, length and sizes 1 to 20 plus – will adorn the clothing racks Saturday.

Shoes and accessories, as well as Mary Kay makeup and artificial flowers, will be on hand at no additional cost.

Goodwin encouraged mothers to visit as well, to be involved in the “shopping” for the perfect dress experience. Goodwin said that the community has been gracious when it comes to Prom Expo.

“We are so gracious and lucky to have the Morris Police Department store all of this stuff of mine. It took two trips to get it all,” Goodwin said.

Dresses and accessories were collected from a dress drive and a variety of donors, such as Guardian Angel, local dress shops, boutiques and community members.

Joliet-area legislators react to Rauner’s budget address

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com Despite technical difficulties that cut off his prompter, Gov. Bruce Rauner delivered his annual budget address Feb. 15.

Opinions among area legislators on the address varied. Democrats were concerned with what Rauner said, while Republicans seemed encouraged.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said he’s afraid the budget address made passage of the Senate’s grand bargain budget proposal a more difficult task.

Pat McGuire The grand bargain, negotiated in recent D-Joliet months by Senate leaders, comes with an income tax hike and a two-year property tax freeze.

But Rauner called for a permanent property tax freeze Feb. 15, and some feel the governor is asking for more after Senate leaders reached common ground.

“That was shown today when he asked for the permanent property tax freeze,” McGuire said. “There’s no doubt we need to address property

tax problems, but Senate leaders negotiated a two-year freeze. You might want to ask local units of government what a permanent freeze would mean to their ability to provide services to local residents.”

State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, stated in a news release that children, seniors and working-class families deserve better.

“I have been willing to meet the governor Natalie halfway on a number of Manley issues when his agen- D-Joliet da and the concerns of the people I represent overlap,” Manley stated. “I’ve voted repeatedly for property-tax freezes, worker’s compensation reform and independent redistricting. Now it’s time for the governor to meet the people of our district halfway, and get serious about a budget that provides for the needs of middle-class and struggling families, the elderly and Jennifer our children.”

State Sen. Jenni- Bertinofer Bertino-Tarrant, Tarrant D-Shorewood, said she D-Shorewood

was disappointed in Rauner’s address.

“He continues to place blame on legislators,” she stated in a news release. “He called off working groups, he stopped leadership meetings, and he halted the work being done in the Senate. His speech today was not a budget address. It was a lecture without any substance.”

Meanwhile, state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield, said it’s clearer than ever the state needs more than an income tax increase as Census estimates indicate more people have Mark moved out of Illinois Batinick last year than any other R-Plainfield state in the country.

“We have a pathway out of this, it’s whether we take it or not,” Batinick said.

State Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Lockport, said Rauner has evaded his constitutional duty of proposing a balanced budget for the third-straight year, causing devastating effects to services that the state’s most vulnerable residents rely on, along with $5.5 million in new debt.

State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, said Rauner has proposed an

unbalanced budget with the “same old campaign speeches.” Walsh said he counted 13 things in Rauner’s address that would require increased spending.

Walsh said with $33 Larry billion in revenue and Walsh Jr. $38 billion in necessi- D-Elwood ties, legislators need to sit down and talk about careful cuts and streamlining government.

“But those necessities haven’t gone away,” he said.

State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, said Rauner’s upbeat tone and optimism is what’s needed from everyone in the legislature.

“It’s important to note, due to the state’s Sue Rezin dire financial situation R-Morris and the fact we have a two-party government, the reality is, the solution to a balanced budget will include things not everyone will like,” Rezin stated in a news release. “I want to stress, however, we owe it to taxpayers that reforms and cuts must be the overwhelming aspects of any budget solution.”

Dual-credit classes to benefit students

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Minooka Community High School offers more dual-credit classes than many other high schools, Director of Curriculum and Instruction Janel Grzetich told the Minooka District 111 school board this week.

Dual-credit classes, Grzetich said, are particular junior- and senior-level classes that give students high school credits and college credits at the same time.

The dual-credit program is offered in conjunction with Joliet Junior College, but many of the courses will transfer to other colleges.

Ten dual-credit classes currently are offered at the high school, Grzetich said, including English Rhetoric, United States History, Western Civilization History, Statistics, Calculus, World Music, Exploratory American Music, Political Science and Principles of Speech Communication.

Grzetich told board members at their meeting Thursday that the classes offer many advantages to students, as well as to the school.

“Offering these classes enhances

“Offering these classes enhances our own curriculum.”

our own curriculum,” she said. “It is also cost-saving [for students] over taking the courses at JJC ... $129,625 was saved this semester alone in tuition.”

Other advantages of taking the dual- credit courses, she said, are that the experience can facilitate the transition to college and create a greater awareness of what it takes to do well in college-level courses, and when students enter college with some of the basic courses under their belts, they may be able to start taking classes in their major fields of study sooner.

Taking the English Rhetoric dual- credit classes, in particular, Grzetich said, will help students with writing skills they will need throughout their college years.

Studies also show, she said, that 11 percent of students who took dual

credit courses in high school are more likely to persist through the second year of college.

Also Thursday, Assistant Superintendent of Business John Troy told board members that discussions have begun with Ameresco, a provider of energy-efficient infrastructure upgrades.

Representatives recently walked through the two buildings of the high school with Superintendent Kenneth Lee, Troy said, and reviewed the district’s building needs for future planning.

Troy said the district is working on its five-year strategy plan.

The school board also recognized student Ben Dow, presented by choral teacher Randy Benware, for his achievement in the ILMEA All-State Choir.

The board Thursday also approved an employment contract for Terry McCombs as head football coach for the 2017-18 school year at a stipend of $12,490.

McCombs replaces former head coach Paul Forsythe.

The board also approved extracurricular volunteer appointments for Aaron Walker and Lucia Rossi as junior varsity track assistants.

Eateries serve special offers for restaurant week

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent Warmer spring-like temperatures and sunshine make this week a great time to get out and try a new local restaurant in Joliet and the surrounding area.

The first Joliet Area Restaurant Week kicked off Friday and runs through Sunday, with offers from each of the 18 restaurants on the event circuit.

The week is sponsored by the Heritage Corridor Convention and Visitors Bureau to feature local restaurants during a time when business usually lacks because of cold weather and the post-holiday season, bureau Marketing Manager Dan Mulka said.

“Typically, this time of year we have snow on the ground, which can hamper people coming out – historically, it’s a slow time of year, so we figured this was a great time to help out the restaurants,” Mulka said.

Chicago also has a restaurant week, but Mulka said he and bureau President and CEO Bob Navarro wanted to show that there are restaurants outside downtown Chicago.

“We wanted to show the variety in

Joliet mayor: Developments on I-55, I-80 project ‘coming fast’ More online

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Cullinan Properties is looking at construction next year and a fall 2019 opening for Rock Run Crossings, a lifestyle development that would combine retail, entertainment, office space, hotels and homes on a site at Interstates 55 and 80.

The city has been trying to develop the site for nearly 10 years because of its high exposure from two cross-country interstates. But there is no interstate access, something that has to be overcome before development.

Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk at his annual State of the City address on Feb. 13 announced that the state “is set to make a major commitment” that will provide interstate access to the site.

Another city official said later that the state already is in the process of awarding a contract for engineering of a future interchange.

O’Dekirk said the 265-acre project will have regional reach and be an economic engine, creating 5,000 permanent jobs and 8,000 construction jobs.

“It will have an economic impact of $1.4 billion,” O’Dekirk said, adding that developments are now moving quickly. “City Council, get ready. It’s coming, and it’s going to be coming fast.”

Visit this article at TheHerald-News.com for video from Mayor O’Dekirk’s speech.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk delivers the State of the City address Monday at Harrah’s Casino in downtown Joliet.

He said representatives from Cullinan will make a presentation on the project at a City Council meeting either this month or in March.

Anaise Berry, director of marketing, said Cullinan expects to formally apply to the city for approval of the project by the end of April.

“We are moving full-steam ahead,” Berry said.

The plan is to begin construction on Rock Run Crossings in 2018 and begin opening in fall 2019, she said.

The Cullinan website, which promotes the Rock Run Crossings development, notes traffic counts of 235,000

vehicles passing the site every day.

East Peoria-based Cullinan acquired the northeast section of the interchange in July 2015.

But development always hinged on getting interstate access. Cullinan had not previously publicly announced a development timetable.

“The state is very supportive, which is terrific,” Berry said. “We continue to get very positive feedback on the retail, the restaurants and the residential.”

The state is in the process of awarding a contract to an engineering firm that would begin planning an interchange providing access from I-55, Joliet Economic Development Director Steve Jones said.

Jones said city and state officials will meet this week to discuss an intergovernmental agreement for not only the interchange, but also improvements of local roads leading to the site.

Morris Building & Loan was original chartered as a state chartered savings & loan association in February of 1917. The primary idea of the organization was to encourage thrifty workmen to build and own their own homes at near rent prices. Business was first conducted from the Matteson hardware store. Then later moved to the Hynds building and later made several moves to different locations such as the Fessler and Collins buildings, and in 1959 built their first owned building on Jefferson & Wauponsee. In 1981 the building was sold and a new building was built where it is currently located today on Jefferson & Division.

In 1980, a new chartered was issued and Morris Federal Savings & Loan Association began operation as a federally chartered savings & loan. In January 1997, a new chartered was again issued and Morris Building & Loan was again operating under a state charter, but this time as a state chartered savings bank. In April 2006, Morris Building & Loan merged with Harvard Savings Bank but retained the MBL name. In December 2016, First Secure Community Bank acquired Morris Building & Loan making it, once again, a locally owned institution.

Continued from page 18 “The impacts of this are much greater than the interstates,” Jones said.

The state will pay for the $90 million interchange, Jones said. The city will be responsible for some $60 million in funding for improving local roads. He said the city is pursuing federal grants to help with the funding.

A spokeswoman for the Illinois De-

partment of Transportation could not be reached Monday for comment.

Local roads that would be improved or expanded to provide access to the site include Olympic Boulevard and County Farm Road.

But O’Dekirk said the project extends beyond that and would even include improvements on Jefferson Street to prepare for the expected traffic to the site.

“It’s a huge thing that’s being put together,” O’Dekirk said, when interviewed after his speech. “It’s a city proj-

Cullinan bought the site from California-based O & S Holdings, which had planned a similar project called Bridge Street Town Centre.

The O & S project was proposed in late 2007, just months ahead of a recession that devastated real estate markets and put a halt to retail development. The plan never developed, and the city at one point considered putting warehousing on the site.

MORRIS – Each year, the Morris Faculty take on the Fuzz in a charity game to help earn money to send local Special Olympians to Bloomington to play against their peers. This year, the Fuzz took to the court with the athletes, dividing each other up on teams where they could play with those they are supporting, not just for them.

TOP RIGHT: It took a little two-on-one action to hold back special Olympian Marin Lock from scoring.

“He never took a weekend off,” John said.

Matthew had a tremendous sense of humor and even joked about his infirmity, especially as he grew older.

“I remember one time he fell in the rectory and his face was all bruised, but he insisted on saying Mass,” John said. “He had two black eyes and of course everyone was aghast, but he said the floor snuck up on him, ‘But

St. Lawrence auctioned off at its annual fundraiser.

Matthew especially was known for his Adirondack chairs. Bette recalled how the abbey used the chairs years ago.

“The boys would go out to play croquet for recreation,” Bette said, “and the older monks would sit on the chairs and watch them.”

To Matthew’s brother, Michael Mazzuchelli, of LaSalle, Matthew’s only sibling and 13 years his junior, Matthew “was a rock.”

“He always thought of others before himself, even when he was younger,” Michael said. “You could always count on him.”

Michael said that after their father’s death and when Michael was working, Matthew would run errands, perform upkeep on the family home, and help care for their mother who had a stroke.

“I really love him and I really miss him,” Michael said. “He used to call me every night at 6:30. I could set my watch to it.”

Matthew’s good friend, the Rev. John Hornicak, originally from Joliet and now pastor at Church of the Holy Ghost in Wood Dale, worked with Matthew from 2007 to 2015, when John served at St. Lawrence.

John said Matthew was very unassuming, very humble and very committed to saying Mass, despite the multiple sclerosis that made walking difficult.

Matthew, John said, exemplified the priesthood.

children – it made Matthew’s day to encounter a child, even during a routine shopping trip. He also loved children’s books, from which he often gleaned sermon material.

In fact, Debbie Wollgast, of Gardner, a lifelong member of St. Lawrence, said she and others appreciated Matthew’s down-to-earth, easy-to-understand homilies.

“When he spoke, it felt like he was sitting there with you over a cup of coffee,” Debbie said. “He spoke almost as if he read your mind and knew what you needed to hear.”

When Debbie’s five children were growing up, Matthew attended their birthday parties. Later, he attended their weddings. Debbie said Matthew officiated at many baptisms and weddings for others in the parish over the years. She praised his woodworking and said St. Lawrence held some of Matthew’s pieces in reserve so they could auction them at fundraisers.

“He also loved making toys for children,” Debbie said.

A typed paragraph from Nov. 23, 1985, in Matthew’s personal files asked loved ones to refrain from making monetary offerings for Masses said in his memory after his death. Matthew was 85 when he died Jan. 24.

“It would please me very much if people were asked to make a small donation for the starving people of the world,” Matthew wrote, “especially children.”

Making use of national leadership conference

A few weeks back, I hopped a plane to Washington, D.C., for the 27th annual National Leadership Forum put on by National Community Anti-Drug Coalition of America (CADCA) along with Anita Young from Chestnut Health Systems.

The two of us went to the conference to represent the Behavioral Health Alliance of Grundy County.

And what a jam-packed four days it was!

The training sessions were top notch, pack with information on leadership, marketing, prevention tactics, new research in the area of drug/alcohol abuse, and trends in teen drug/ alcohol abuse and misuse.

Over the course of four days, I attended numerous training sessions with titles such as What Communities Can do to Address Emerging Issues in Substance Use and Mental Health in Older Adults; Dynamic Leadership: Building a Community that Cares; Cultural Humility: The Power of Engagement; Fighting with Faith; Are you Paying Attention to ADHA;

VIEWS Devan Gagliardo and Marijuana, Public Safety, and Drugged Driving.

While attending so many information-filled sessions in a short period of time is a bit overwhelming to the brain, it was certainly worthwhile.

One of the best aspect of the conference was that many youth were involved.

Youth from all over the country came together to learn, advocate for change, and even teach some of the adult sessions.

Oftentimes youth aren’t called upon to weigh in on youth matters, so it was truly great to see CADCA open its doors to the youth and for the youth to dive right in.

Another aspect of the conference I thought was positive was the fact that so many congressional leaders attend-

ed and spoke in support of the work CADCA is doing.

Leaders from California, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia all came to share their thoughts on this topic.

In addition to these leaders, many of those in attendance, us included, were able to meet with local congressional leaders on Capitol Hill. Our local group was given time to speak to Congressman Adam Kinzinger’s staff as well as Sen. Tammy Duckworth and her staff.

Both meetings went extremely well, and we thank both for their support.

In the last year or two, there has been much information published across the country regarding prescription drug abuse, the heroin epidemic, and other drug and/or alcohol related issues.

Although I am aware more needs to be done around these issues, attending the CADCA conference allowed me to see there are individuals working on this issue across the country.

And even better these individuals are coming together from across sectors: schools, churches, police departments, social service agencies, students, colleges, hospitals, health departments, and local, state and federal lawmakers.

The Behavioral Health Alliance is a local network of professionals discussing local issues on behavioral health, mental health, and substance abuse.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 28 at 3:30 p.m. at 518 W. Illinois Ave in Morris.

There will be a presentation by Dr. Bipin Sharma and Matthew Beutler on ECS Inpatient Rehabilitation Center, which is a new residential substance abuse disorder treatment facility for men in Joliet.

Anyone is welcome to attend and can contact Devan at 815-941-0852 or bhagrundy@gmail.com for more information.

EITC and ACTC refunds expected to arrive the week of Feb. 27 SUBMITTED REPORT WASHINGTON – When the IRS began releasing refunds for taxpayers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit, the tax agency reminded taxpayers that they should not expect refunds to be available in bank accounts or on debit cards until the week of Feb. 27. The additional time is because of several factors such as weekends, the Presidents Day holiday and the time banks need to process direct deposits.

Many of the refunds had been held since the filing season started in late January because of new requirements of the 2015 Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act.

The IRS reminds taxpayers that the most common question taxpayers have about the status of their refund can easily be answered on IRS.gov by visiting https://www.irs.gov/refunds, which is where they can use the “Where’s My Refund?” tool.

“Where’s My Refund?” will be updated Feb. 18 for the majority of people filing early who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit. Before Feb. 18, some taxpayers might see a projected date or a message that indicates the IRS is processing their return. The IRS has since said that taxpayers should keep in mind that “Where’s My Refund?” is only updated once a day, usually overnight, so there’s no need to check it

multiple times a day.

Here are some facts the IRS stressed to keep in mind important things to about tax refunds: • The IRS issues nine out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days.

• The filing season started this year on Jan. 23. Although taxpayers could submit returns with a software provider or tax preparer in early January, the return was not filed with the IRS until the filing season opened Jan. 23.

• IRS customer service representatives cannot provide refund information until 21 days have passed since the return was filed. “Where’s My Refund?” provides the most up-to-date information.

• “Where’s my Refund?” also can be

accessed through the mobile app IRS2Go. • “Where’s My Refund?” is updated once a day. Checking the tool multiple times each day will not produce new information or different results.

• The “Get Transcript” tool will not reveal a tax refund status, despite social media myths to the contrary.

This announcement is part of the IRS Avoid the Rush news release series designed to provide taxpayers with information they need and when they need it. More details on this series, including information on https:// www.irs.gov/uac/newsroom/avoidthe-rush-use-irsgov-for-quick-answersto-questions, as well as other online resources, are available on IRS.gov.

no cost. Each garden box is 8 feet long by 4 feet wide and is raised in accordance to ADA standards at a height of 20 inches off the ground.

The boxes are made from pressuretreated wood with bracing and a ledge around the top to rest on.

Visitors who might have driven past the Grundy County Health Department thinking ,‘I would love to have some tomatoes

Boxes are limited and will Grundy County Health Deparment looking for gardeners be assigned on a first-come, first-served MORRIS – In 2017, the Grundy County Health Deparment is looking to local area agencies as well as residents of the community to make their garden better than ever.

This year, 18 garden beds are its canvas and will be made available to county residents and agencies to grow their own

basis. The cost to rent a garden box is a $25 donation, which covers water, maintenance to the garden box and yard waste bags.

Anyone interested in volunteering individually or as part of a group to help plant and care for the garden but doesn’t want their own box can do so as well at

OPINIONS

27

Before Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget address last week, Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno made a rare visit to the Senate Democratic caucus meeting.

Radogno assured the Democrats that she and her GOP caucus were working in good faith to achieve a bipartisan “grand bargain” in the chamber.

Every time they think they’re getting close, they’re told the Republicans aren’t ready to vote. It was a much-needed speech. Then Gov. Rauner gave his budget address.

The governor’s office had once again not followed protocol by providing its budget details to legislative staff the evening before, so legislators had no way of knowing during his speech that his budget included a projected $32.7 billion in revenues and $37.3 billion in spending.

They also had no way of knowing that some of those projected revenues and perhaps hundreds of millions or even billions in projected savings weren’t actually real, adding to the plan’s self-admitted $4.6 billion hole.

But, whatever. It’s not like nobody expected this to happen. Rauner did the same thing last year when he proposed closing a $3.5 billion hole with magical words about “cooperation,” and two years ago when he promised illusory savings from pension reforms and cutting unspecified waste. It’s frustrating and it may not even be constitutional, but it is what it is. Last week’s speech wasn’t really about the upcoming budget, however. Everybody was there to hear what he had to say about the Senate. As you already know, the two Senate leaders began talking after Gov. Rauner announced in December that he would no longer host leaders meetings because he said the Democrats were refusing to negotiate in good faith.

Rauner has been saying for a while now that he didn’t want to weigh in on the Senate’s plan for fear of messing up their progress. But then Senate President John Cullerton said it’d be helpful if Rauner publicly supported the plan.

Fittingly, as soon as Rauner began discussing his preferred parameters, his teleprompter broke. Attorney General Lisa Madigan, whom the governor has been attacking for attempting to help her father create a crisis with a government shutdown, gamely offered the governor her paper copy.

The print was too small, however, and he couldn’t read it. Rauner then quoted Speaker Madigan’s joke that the Russians must’ve caused the malfunction.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller For a couple of minutes, the obvious tension and hostility in the House chamber eased. Democrats had been derisively laughing at the governor, but were now laughing with him. That didn’t last.

Once the teleprompter issue was finally fixed, the governor laid out his demands. If the Senate was planning to pass a permanent tax hike, then, to win his support, it also must pass a permanent property tax freeze. The House already had passed such a freeze, mainly because it’s hugely popular and members figured the Senate wouldn’t ever touch it because of the damage it would do to schools and local governments.

Rauner risked knocking the Senate’s progress off its tracks with that one.

Some Democrats later alleged it was a deliberate poison pill. Rauner did leave the door open just a tiny bit by saying that when the tax increase starts producing revenue surpluses, he wanted the tax hikes “stepped down” to dedicate the money to taxpayers.

So, could he be open to a temporary tax hike in exchange for a temporary property tax freeze? Republicans are saying that a couple of Senate Democrats have talked about possibly doing a “5 and 5” plan, which would both raise taxes and cap property taxes for five years.

Rauner also demanded that the Senate abandon its plan to tax sales of food and medicine. He privately wants that replaced with a tax on sugary drinks, but the Senate leaders say they cannot round up enough votes to pass it.

The Democrats went back to derisively laughing at Rauner when he claimed “Term limits get job creators excited.”

And while his demand that the Senate’s workers’ compensation reform match the Massachusetts model got little attention, Massachusetts is a “causation” state, which the Democrats have always said they will never agree to. That could be a big problem.

It’s too early to tell whether Rauner did irrevocable harm last week. The fact that the Republican leaders in the House and Senate didn’t rush to openly embrace his specific demands is a sign that people still want progress. Stay tuned.

Higginbotham to begin as interim rector at St. Thomas

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent After a two-month stint as Sunday pastor, the Rev. Richard Higginbotham has now taken over as the interim rector at St. Thomas Episcopal Church after the retirement of the Rev. James Steele last November.

Higginbotham has been a priest since 1995, and before worked as a librarian at Northeastern Illinois University. He has held pastoral positions at St. Christopher’s in Oak Brook, Church of the Ascension and Church of the Atonement in Chicago before his retirement.

“I retired for several years and came back to start interim work; I didn’t want to be completely retired,” Higginbotham said.

He said as interim it was not his job to make drastic changes, but to respect traditions the parish has, and to encourage them to look forward to new leadership.

“I’ve been tweaking a few things. It’s not my role to make radical changes, but I do want to alert people the opportunity to reach out into the community more and grow,” Higginbotham said.

Higginbotham said, the parish has gone through a series of workshops on parish development. He said that once they get past Lent and Easter they will get out in the community more to show the wonderful things that are available at the church.

CHURCH BULLETINS

Healing and miracle service planned for 5 p.m. Saturday

Higginbotham said he enjoys the Episcopal faith because “it’s all encompassing from all parts of Christian tradition, but also makes use of contemporary trends and new ideas while cherishing the heritage of Christian tradition.”

When asked about what he liked about being a priest, Higginbotham said he would not use the word “enjoy,” but “fulfill” when it comes to giving pastoral care to his parishioners.

“When going into a hospital room when a baby just died isn’t enjoyable, but being able to help the grieving mother with prayer and just being another person there in the time of great grief, I feel fulfilled; I’m doing God’s work,” Higginbotham said.

As to when a permanent pastor will come to the church, Higginbotham said it could take up to a year. He said there is a lengthy process that starts with The Episcopal Diocese of Chicago which will conduct a study, then a nationwide search.

Then the St. Thomas Episcopal Church parish council will meet with a search committee.

“The ball is rolling,” Higginbotham said.

The House of Glory Church will hold a service at 5 p.m. Saturday at 1522 Creek Drive in Morris. For information and directions, email Pastor Esther Holiday at houseofglorychurch@ yahoo.com or call 815-651-8564.

World Day of Prayer services planned throughout Seneca

The Seneca service will be held at Stavanger Lutheran Church, 2904 N. 32nd Road in Seneca. Coffee will be provided at 9:30 a.m. and the worship will begin at 10 a.m. Friday, March 3.

Other Seneca churches sponsoring similar services are Assembly of God, Community of Christ, First United Methodist, St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic and Our Savior’s Lutheran.

World Day of Prayer is celebrated March 3. The women of the Philippines wrote this year’s service and chose a theme titled, “Am I Being Unfair to You?” For information, call Pastor Phil Peterson of Stavanger Lutheran Church at 815-357-6514.

Plenty going on at Morris high school

By PATRICK M. HALLORAN and MCHS YEARBOOK STAFF Morris Community High School

I was looking for a way to involve students in highlighting the “happenings” at MCHS, so I approached Becky Bernardi’s yearbook class to see whether they would be interested. I am happy to report that all 15 students volunteered to participate.

The following article was written by Alex Binder, Chloee Hansen, Veronica Johnson, Syd Trotter and Paige Whalen. The topic focuses on the achievements of several of our extracurricular activities. The students, sponsors and coaches dedicate a tremendous amount of time and effort to represent our school in a positive manner. The school district appreciates the support provided by parents and the community.

Breaking records, making history Morris Community High School has had many successes through

our outstanding organizations and programs. Our fans have been blown away and have shown a new level of school spirit.

First of all, our varsity cheerleading team earned the title of sectional champions in Bloomington and continued their season at state.

After placing eighth the first day, the team advanced to finals the second day.

They pushed and proved themselves when they ranked sixth overall. Team members Alyssa See and Sam Cailey said that before every meet they motivate each other by cheering, “Our moment. We own the mat. We will be a champion.”

The varsity poms were victorious at the sectional competition at Mahomet, qualifying them for the state competition. On day one of state, the poms placed eighth and advanced to the second day.

Their hard work and dedication led them to become the state runners-up. This was their second year

Several MCHS students also earned awards in the TSA Achievement Program, which is designed to motivate and recognize student members for

earning a state runner-up title.

The Winter Guard began their season by placing first at the Naperville North competition.

They traveled to St. Louis and competed in the first WGI Regional of the season and placed fifth out of 23.

They are now ranked eighth nationally, which is an amazing accomplishment.

The guard competed at the Naperville Central Winter Classic and placed first, which resulted in the guard moving up into a higher division.

They are excited about their upcoming competition in Dayton, Ohio, this spring.

Another organization that has prospered in our high school is the speech team.

On Feb. 4, Morris hosted regionals and made history.

They now have won three regionals consecutively.

As a result, the team now is preparing to continue its success at

sectionals in Downers Grove South.

Speech team captain, Dylan Obrochta, stated, “If I could replay one memory this season, it would be to go back to the Coal City meet because I was very sick then and still got 1st in both of my events.”

The speech team placed sixth at sectionals and Chris Duffy, Makayla Zorn, and Dylan Obrochta are all advancing to the speech state competition.

Marching band also had an outstanding season, placing third in two of their competitions and first in one.

The third-place competitions were held at Stagg and Sandwich High School and first place at the Marengo Settlers competitions.

At Stagg High School and at the Marengo competition, the band got best drum majors and best guard.

Overall, Morris Community High School has had many successes this year with their clubs and organizations and will continue to thrive with the support from our fans.

USDA announces homeowners eligible for home repair loans, grants SUBMITTED REPORT OTTAWA – Homeowners in northern Illinois may be eligible to apply for home repair grants and low interest home improvement loans, thanks to a U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development program.

A Rural Development repair loan is similar to a home improvement loan.

The money must be used to improve or modernize homes, make them safer and more sanitary, or remove health and safety hazards.

Examples of eligible repairs include roofing, siding, windows, foundation repairs, kitchen cabinets, septic system, furnace and air conditioning.

The maximum loan amount is $20,000.

Loans can be made for a term of 20 years at one percent interest.

The applicant needs to own and occupy the home, have acceptable credit, be able to repay the loan, and meet

very low-income guidelines.

For example, a family of four in Grundy County can earn up to $40,650 and still qualify.

A limited number of home repair grants are also available to applicants who meet very low-income guidelines, are 62 years of age or older and demonstrate an inability to make loan payments.

There is a $7,500 lifetime limit on repair grant funds.

Grant funds can only be used to address health, safety or accessibility issues for the home. Unlike loans, grants do not have to be repaid.

Grants are frequently made in conjunction with small loans.

The Ottawa Rural Development office serves five Northern Illinois counties including Grundy, Kankakee, Kendall, LaSalle and Will.

For information, homeowners are encouraged to call the Ottawa office at 815-433-0551, ext. 4, or visit http:// www.rd.usda.gov/il.

Eligibility rules apply.

Legislation to expand organ, tissue donor registry to younger drivers passes Senate committee SUBMITTED REPORT Secretary of State Jesse White’s legislation that would allow 16- and 17-yearolds to register for the state’s First Person Consent Organ/Tissue Donor Registry when they receive their driver’s license or identification card passed the State Senate Public Health Committee.

Senate Bill 868, sponsored by state Sen. Mattie Hunter, D-Chicago, now goes to the full Senate for consideration.

“Our goal is always to save lives,” White said. “Thousands of Illinoisans are waiting for an organ. Many of those who wait are someone’s mother, father, daughter or son. This legislation, which

the vast majority of other states have implemented, is an important step in reducing the number of those on the waiting list.”

The legislation amends the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to join the First Person Consent Organ/Tissue Donor Registry. Under current law, an individual must be at least 18 years old to join the registry.

Those who join the registry will receive a letter from the Secretary of State’s office thanking them for joining. White encourages 16- and 17-year-olds to use this letter as a basis for discussing their decision with their parents.

By joining the First Person Consent Organ/Tissue Donor Registry, 16- and

How can you tell when chest pain is heart-related?

SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Many people believe chest pain equals having a heart attack. While this isn’t necessarily true, it’s important to get checked immediately if you have pain around your chest.

Chest pain can be attributed to several things, some may be life threatening and others are not.

“A muscle strain, lung problems or pneumonia, or even a viral infection such as pleurisy can cause chest pain,” said Dr. G. Steinar Gudmundsson, cardiologist with Morris Hospital. “The pain could be sharp, or a dull ache traveling up the neck or back, up towards the jaw.”

Chest pain, however, can be one of the warning symptoms of a heart attack, and should not be dismissed.

“Symptoms of a heart attack include a dull ache or pressure in the chest, coming from the heart area and sometimes traveling down an

arm,” Dr. Gudmundsson said. “If you feel faint, nauseous, and short of breath, you should be very concerned. A feeling of tightness in the chest area, a painful squeezing sensation down the arm, and feeling cold and clammy are additional warning signs of a heart attack.”

There are certain factors that increase your risk for a heart attack. If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or a family history of coronary heart disease (where the victim was younger than age 55 for men or age 65 for women), you’re at higher risk for a heart attack. The risk is even higher if you smoke.

Sometimes the pain is attributed to angina, which usually goes away after exercise. An angiogram checks for artery blockages, which can be corrected with a stent or bypass surgery.

Chest pain leading to a heart attack can be fatal, so it’s important to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

“If you’re experiencing chest pain, don’t try to drive yourself to the hospital,” Dr. Gudmundsson added. “Call 911, take an aspirin, and lie down and wait for the ambulance to arrive.” For more information, please contact:

Cody Baldridge finishes second

Coalers walk away with 4 medals

LEFT: Morris’ Cody Baldridge falls to Carbondale’s Cameron Caffey on Feb. 18 during the IHSA Class 2A state wrestling championship at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – A year ago, Morris’ Cody Baldridge advanced to the Class 2A finals at 182, but that’s where he ran into a huge roadblock in Washington’s Jacob Warner, who captured the championship with a win by technical fall.

With Warner moving up to 195 this season and earning the No. 1 ranking in the nation in the buildup to him rolling to a third state title, things figured to be a bit more forgiving for the Morris junior, assuming that he returned to the finals.

But things were far from easy for Baldridge on Saturday at the University of Illinois’ State Farm Center, considering that his opponent was a senior who had assumed the top spot in the state rankings and brought a 40-0 record into the title match.

Though not well known outside of southern Illinois, Carbondale’s Cameron Caffey proved to be the state’s best in 2A at 182 after capturing a 3-1 victory over Baldridge in the finals. Caffey’s takedown with 55 seconds left broke a 1-all tie.

“It was a tremendous effort by Cody,” Morris coach Jon Lanning said.

“I know that he’s not going to be happy about that result, but we’re so proud of him. He took great shots, stuck to the game plan and wrestled that kid the best of anyone at the tournament. He was right there and the aggressor and stayed with it. But Cameron Caffey is just a heck of a good wrestler.

“Making the finals last year just made his work effort even better this year. He’s a tremendous worker and this is only going to push him more to get that state championship next year. He’s going to be the experienced guy and will be a force to be reckoned with.”

Baldridge (39-2) earned his second straight finals appearance after winning 7-1 over Urbana’s Arnold Fox in the semifinals. He was hoping to collect the school’s sixth title and its first since 2014, when his brother Kenny earned a third straight state medal after capturing top honors at 132.

“I’m so excited since this is all that I’ve been looking forward to all this year,” Baldridge said of his return trip to the title mat. “I’ve been training all year to get to this point. I’m ready to

“At this time of year, I don’t think any team is at 100 percent healthwise, so we just have to get through it like everyone else. Our guys have played hard all year.

It’s a matter of playing hard and playing smart. It does no good to play hard if that takes you out of position and the other team scores. We need to play hard in the confines of what we want to do on the court.”

In other regional action, Newark is the top seed at the Class 1A Gardner-South Wilmington Regional, with G-SW being seeded fourth. The Norsemen are ranked fifth in the state in Class 1A with their 21-3 record. G-SW opened play late Tuesday night with a game against Bridgeview Universal. Newark played Wednesday against the winner

of Monday’s game between Illinois Lutheran and Islamic Foundation of Villa Park. The title game is at 7 p.m. Friday at Gardner-South Wilmington High School.

In Class 2A, Seneca, the ninth seed in the 10-team subsectional that feeds into the Seneca Sectional, played 10th-seeded Wilmington on Monday in the Wilmington Regional, with the winner advancing to take on second-seeded Lisle. The title game is at 7 p.m. Friday at Wilmington.

Minooka, which won its first regional championship since 1977 last season, is the fourth seed in the 22-team Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Sectional and will begin play Tuesday in the Plainfield North Regional against the winner of the previous night’s game between 13th-seed Neuqua Valley and 20th-seeded Plainfield East.

The three teams seeded ahead of Minooka are Bolingbrook, Joliet West and Joliet Central.

“This is a gut check time for us. It’s time for us to find out if our brutal schedule will have us battle-tested and ready to go for the regional, or if we are going to be beaten down and dejected.

I wrote down the pairings on the board in the locker room, and our guys know that this regional is very winnable for us.”

MORRIS – To say this basketball season has been a rough one for the Morris team and coach Joe Blumberg would be an understatement. The Redskins (11-15) have had many tight losses and games that could have gone either way.

The Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference schedule has been particularly tough on Morris, as it is just 2-10 in league play entering Friday night’s road game against Sycamore.

Even with those numbers, Blumberg was fairly pleased when the Illinois High School Association announced its pairings and seeds for the Class 3A Plano Sectional last week. Morris will take part in the Coal City Regional that feeds into the sectional, and the Redskins hope that their tough schedule will work to their advantage when postseason play begins.

Morris, seeded fifth in the 10-team subsectional, opens regional play Wednesday at Coal City, taking on third-seeded Streator at 7:30 p.m., the second game of that night. Before that at 6 p.m., second-seeded Sandwich will play the winner of Monday night’s game between No. 9-seed Coal City and No. 10 Pontiac.

“This is one of those regionals that any one of the five teams that are in it can win it,” Blumberg said. “No one is a clear-cut favorite.”

The key for the Redskins, Blumberg said, is to play with the confidence to know that they can walk away with the plaque.

“This is a gut check time for us,” Blumberg said. “It’s time for us to find out if our brutal schedule will have us battle-tested and ready to go for the regional, or if we are going to be beaten down and dejected. I wrote down the pairings on the board in the locker room, and our guys know that this regional is very winnable for us.”

It won’t be an easy road for the Redskins, who are nursing a myriad of injuries late in the season.

“Matt Shaw is dinged up a little bit, and now Tyler Spiezio has an ankle injury,” Blumberg said. “Delaney Stutzki has

Plano 56, Coal City 39: The Coalers kept things close early, trailing just 29-26 at halftime and 36-34 entering the fourth quarter, before Plano outscored them 23-5 in the fourth.

“We played tough with Plano, which is the No. 1 seed in our sectional, for three quarters,” Coal City coach Keith Kiper said. “They just pulled away in the fourth with their athleticism and size. We should be able to pull some confidence from this game knowing that we can play well against a good team.”

Christian Johnson led Coal City with 14 points, while Zack Nolan added nine. Johnson also had five rebounds and three steals.

MAPLE PARK – After a stretch of tough losses, the Morris boys basketball team picked up its second win in a row Feb. 14, defeating Kaneland, 48-43, on the road in a Northern Illinois Big 12 matchup.

Senior Matt Shaw continued his hot streak in scoring 26 points; he scored 55 in his past two games. He also helped key a fourth-quarter comeback that saw the Redskins (11-14, 2-9) rally for the victory Shaw broke a 41-41 tie with a 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter.

JaQuan Boxley, who finished with 11 points, was 4 for 4 from the free-throw line to cement the victory.

“Down five in the fourth, I thought we showed some toughness, got some key stops, and took care of the ball enough to escape with a win,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “Matt Shaw was the best player on the floor, and showed that by attacking the rim, taking a big charge late in the fourth and hitting the go-ahead 3. And he never left the floor. It was a great effort by a senior.

“We’ve had so many close games go against us, it’s nice to be on the other end, especially on the road.”

“This was another toughness type of win for us,” G-SW coach Chris Gibson said. “A real gutsy performance by our guys. Austin Kavanaugh played a

It was a team effort on G-SW’s part, with nearly every player contributing, Gibson said.

Shannon’s 28 points put her above the 1,000-point barrier for her career and also helped her set a new single-season scoring record for the Lady Redskins. She scored 545 points this season, which broke the previous record of 492, set by Tracy Kuder during the 1989-90 season.

She became the eighth player in school history to accumulate more than 1,000 points in her career, joining Julie Jurasits (1,162), Brittanie Crose (1,158), Andrea Keech (1,087), Kuder (1,086), Layney Miller (1,064), Adrianne Leschewski (1,055) and Ryann Heap (1,028).

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com

Dick Goss From Bloomington, McCombs moved to Downers Grove South, where he was athletic director and defensive coordinator for 10 years. Then he returned to the Bloomington-Normal area and joined the staff of his old friend, Normal Community head coach Hud Venerable. The Ironmen won a state title during McCombs’ four years there.

Meanwhile, the McCombs’ daughter married, settled in Naperville and had the McCombs’ grandkids.

“My wife said, ‘That’s it, we’re moving to the suburbs,’ ” McCombs said.

“We got a place in Shorewood.

“I went back to Downers Grove South, then was at Lemont, where I was very happy. But Hud [Venerable] got the job at Lincoln-Way Central, and he said he would not accept it if I didn’t come along as his defensive coordinator. So I did.

“We were together two years, then they went a different way at Lin-

coln-Way Central, which was fine. The last two years, I’ve been at Reed-Custer, helping out an old friend, Mark Wolf.”

His options for the 2017 season were returning to Downers South as linebackers coach or becoming a head coach again, specifically, at Minooka.

“Where I live in Shorewood, I’m in the Minooka school district,” he said.

“Number one with me is always the school district where I live. Two, it’s a good community and good school academically. Three, they have had success in all sports. They have had some success in football, but maybe I can help them have a little more.”

The Indians made the playoffs in 2015 under Forsythe and missed by a game last season, finishing 4-5.

“I’ve met some of the Minooka players,” McCombs said. “They’re impressive.”

McCombs is a defensive guru. Offensively, his Bloomington teams ran an inside veer or outside veer, depending on the talent he had.

“But there was a time we threw the ball a lot,” he said. “That’s when we had Billy Dicken, who went to Purdue [and was a first-team All-Big Ten quarter-

back]. He’s the offensive coordinator at ISU. I’m still in contact with him and Brock Spack, the head coach at ISU. We don’t have the same athletes in high school that they have at ISU, of course, but I still work with them on concepts.

“I used to run a triple option at Bloomington, but offenses have changed. These days, it’s run-pass options. But we still will be defense-oriented, aggressive football team.”

He is anticipating a busy summer.

“I told Bob [Tyrell] that we will use all 25 summer days that we are allowed,” he said. “We will be game ready when we get to fall practice.”

Not as much contact in practice is allowed these days, but that’s no concern to McCombs.

“I never liked contact in practice, anyway,” he said. “We teach the proper tackling technique. I don’t want my best player standing on the sideline.”

How long will McCombs stay at it?

“I’ll coach as long as God lets me,” he said. “I love coaching, being around the kids.”

MINOOKA – He must enjoy coaching high school football.

Otherwise, why would he be at this business for 48 consecutive years?

Minooka has hired a successor to Paul Forsythe, who left the position as head football coach after last season, and it is a Hall of Famer.

Shorewood resident Terry McCombs, 69, has not been a head coach since he completed a sterling 15-year run as Bloomington’s head coach in the fall of 1992. But he has been in demand as an assistant. He was approved unanimously by the Minooka Community High School District 111 Board of Education at a meeting Feb 16.

“We’re very happy with Terry’s hiring,” Minooka athletic director Bob Tyrell said. “We look to move forward with him. He has had great success over the years and brings a wealth of experience.”

McCombs teams at Bloomington posted a 111-43 overall record. His last six teams made the playoffs, highlighted by a state runner-up finish in 1991.

It’s time to talk turkey: 2017’s gobbler season is coming up soon Last Sunday morning reminded me of many spring turkey hunts I have been on. The air was crisp, in the high 30s, without a cloud in the sky, and promising sunshine on the horizon.

My mind flooded with similar mornings over the years that saw me traipsing through the woods in search of gobblers. Those birds love to call on crisp mornings.

Although February is not over, the upcoming spring turkey season is only a few weeks away. In fact, with the state of Illinois adding another youth weekend, your first opportunity to take to the woods in the Northern zone is March 25 and 26.

That last weekend in March is reserved for youngsters as well as the first weekend in April. What a great chance to get a kid hooked on chasing down the most exciting game bird in the woods. I am a big fan of adding another youth weekend.

I know when my boys were little, it seemed like youth weekend was always prime time for miserable weather. At least this year, the kids will have twice as many days to try and score their bird.

Opening day for everyone else in the Northern zone is April 10. The season roughly lasts a month, with May 11 being the final day to try and

With just more than a month to go, now is the time to break into the closet and rummage through your turkey gear. I don’t know about you, but I spend many hours trying to remember where I put everything that I swear I put away the year before.

I like to go through all of my calls and fine-tune the strikers or chalk up the boxes, and of course, it is always a good time to drive the family crazy by practicing a few well-placed yelps and clucks. I also like to take advantage of some of the great weather and pattern my turkey gun again. It shoots reliably from one year to the next, but it is always fun to try different choke tubes and take a look at the shot pattern from different distances.

Once all of your equipment is in order, the scouting needs to start taking shape. It is a perfect time of year to go shed hunting and see if you can locate a few places that turkeys are using. If

Davy earned the weekly accolade after posting a combined 4-2 record at doubles and singles play over the weekend for the Belles. She was part of the team’s No. 1 doubles flight duo, which posted a 3-0 record against Wittenberg, St. Francis and Ohio Wesleyan as the team went 2-1 in those competitions.

At the No. 1 singles flight, Davy earned a straight-set victory against St. Francis to help lead the team to its first win of the spring season. It is the first MIAA Player of the Week honor of her career.

your property receives very little pressure, then you can almost bet on the fact the birds will be congregating in similar areas they did the year before.

I have hunted birds in a wide variety of states east of the Mississippi, and I can say with 100 percent certainty that the turkeys in and around our area are the most prone to stay in one place that I have ever seen.

I imagine, when the birds were reintroduced to our county, the state biologists thought they would disperse more than they have. Yes, the wild turkeys have spread out, but they sure like to hang tight to key locations. In other words, if you have birds on your property, and no one has messed with them, you can be quite confident they will be there again.

Who knows what the weather will be like come opening day? Maybe the temperatures will still be warm and skies sunny, or maybe we will be blasted with a late winter snowfall. It doesn’t matter. Those birds will be out there, and the gobblers will be strutting their stuff.

Have fun during your preparation, and may 2017 be your best turkey season ever.

42 ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER

Topical pain relievers can be effective

Dear Doctor: I play in a weekend softball league, and my shoulder aches for a couple of days after the game. Aspirin hurts my stomach, so I wonder whether using a pain medication in a cream or an ointment might help?

Dear Reader: Thanks to effective over-thecounter drugs, banishing minor aches or pains is as easy as a trip to your medicine cabinet. These pain relievers, which are also used to reduce fever, fall into two main categories. One is acetaminophen, sold under the brand name Tylenol. The others are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. Aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen (sold under the brand name Aleve) are all NSAIDs. As you have found, stomach upset can be a side effect of NSAIDs like aspirin. For people who prefer not to take ibuprofen or NSAIDs in pill form, topical pain relievers, which are applied directly to the skin, offer an alternative. The idea is that the medication, when placed on or near the point of pain, will be absorbed into the body, bypassing the stomach, and offer targeted relief.

A visit to the drugstore for a topical pain reliever can be confusing. Not only do you have your choice of creams, gels, foams, patches, sprays and (we’re almost done) rollons, the products themselves fall into several distinct categories. Once you understand what they contain and how they work, you can decide what’s right for you.

• Topical NSAIDs: Yes, we’re talking about aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen again.

However, studies show that blood levels of NSAIDs that are delivered through the skin are quite low, so potential for stomach upset is greatly reduced. What’s important here is to follow the dosage recommendations.

Don’t use too much or reapply too often. And

SUDOKU

never use multiple NSAID products at once.

Talk to your doctor about which ones to use, because they exist in both prescription and over-the-counter forms.

• Capsaicin: This is the compound in chili peppers that gives them their kick. Topical products with capsaicin work by essentially desensitizing your body’s pain response.

However, some people find the burning sensation to be so intense that they are replacing one kind of discomfort with another.

• Menthol: Like capsaicin, menthol is a counterirritant that creates a new, cooling sensation powerful enough to distract from the pain.

• Methyl salicylate: Also known as oil of wintergreen, this is another counterirritant.

It first makes the skin feel cool, and then feel warm. It’s similar to aspirin, so be sure to read the label for counter-indications.

Finding a product you like may take some trial and error. When you do: • Remember that topical pain relievers are meant for pain that is mild to moderate.

• They should be used for no longer than seven days, unless your doctor says otherwise.

• Wash your hands immediately after applying the product.

• Never use on an open wound or damaged skin.

• Do not wrap or bandage the affected area until you’re sure the product has been fully absorbed, as warmth and pressure may cause a higher level of absorption.

• For that same reason, you should never use a heating pad with these products.

• Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.
