Love manifests in all shapes and sizes I can’t stand little dogs.

That’s what I remember telling my future wife in one of our earliest conversations after she told me she was the proud owner of a 4-pound teacup poodle.

At the time, I meant it. I didn’t like tiny dogs. The ones I had experienced were usually the ones that yipped and barked at everyone. I prefer my dogs to be a little more relaxed.

But my wife came with a “Love me, love my dog,” attitude, so I had only one choice. I knew I wanted to get to know the owner better, so I had to bite the bullet and try to tolerate the dog.

Funny thing happened along the way.

That dog has really grown on me.

Over the last nine years that I have known her, I hadn’t thought about how much she has come to mean to me until the other day when we were nearly forced to make a very difficult decision.

Early Sunday, Joni – that’s our dog, named for Joni Mitchell – jumped off the bed like she has a million times before.

This time, however, was different.

Rob Oesterle My wife heard a snap when she landed.

Joni’s back left leg immediately came up off the floor, but she didn’t make another noise.

My wife was beside herself. As Joni has gotten older, we have been taking more care to not let her jump down off the bed, which is quite high for an animal her size.

But sometimes you forget to help her down and she just jumps, because she’s always been able to.

Turns out, she broke two metatarsal bones in her foot. The doggie doc took an X-ray and decided he could put a splint on it rather than perform surgery.

So, with a bill of less than $200, it made the decision a lot easier than the thousands of dollars a surgery would have cost.

It got me to thinking, though. I have gotten over my aversion to little dogs.

Especially this one.

I can’t tell you how many times I have thrown her ball and she has fetched it and brought it back to me.

It’s a nightly ritual, one that we have to forgo now while her foot heals.

It’s killing her. She looks over at me from the other couch in the room, where she is pretty much confined, and I know she wants to play. She doesn’t know any better. She thinks she still can.

At least the doctor didn’t give her a “cone of shame” to wear around her neck. She looks pitiful enough with a big red bandage wrapped around her tiny little leg.

The old girl has worked her way into my heart.

I am glad we didn’t have to make the call on whether to put her down. She’s family and holds a big place in all our hearts.

We aren’t ready for that part to be gone yet.

Morris City Council OKs distribution of TIF funds

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent The Morris City Council finalized its yearly housekeeping duty to allocate surplus TIF (tax increment financing) funds from its two TIF districts to the Grundy County treasurer for distribution to affected taxing districts during the regular meeting Monday evening.

The amounts in the two TIF districts are a surplus of the $2 million the districts brought into the city to use for improvements within those TIF districts.

A percentage has been determined to use within specific taxing bodies, which then is considered surplus.

The first allocation of funds approved was the TIF District I, established in 1989, in which the surplus equaled $431,757. The largest chunks of the fund are set for Saratoga School Dist 60C at $81,931, Morris Elementary District 54 at $98,517 and Morris Community High School District 101 at $108,364.

Area Library, the City of Morris, Joliet Junior College and Grundy County received the next largest percentages, with payouts ranging between $10,000 to $42,000 each.

“Everybody gets a bone, that’s what it’s all about. We worked with and think we are doing a good thing for the community,” Mayor Richard Kopczick said The next allocation of funds approved was the Morris Marina TIF District, which was established in 2014, so understandably has much less in the surplus due to the immaturity of the TIF district compared with District I, which was installed in 1986.

The total surplus of this district brought in $671, with the majority of the funds allocated to Morris Elementary District 54 at $297 and Morris Community High School District 101 at $165.

Once again the City of Morris, Grundy County, Morris Fire and Ambulance, Morris Area Library and Joliet Junior College received the next highest payout of the surplus funds.

”Everything has to be healthy,” Kopczick said. “The fire district has to be healthy, the schools have to be healthy, the library has to be healthy, and the city has to be healthy.

“We have to be healthy to be able to continue to grow and be able to attract, because if you start losing your schools, things go downhill. If the fire district goes down the drain, the people say ‘Why in the hell do I want to live there – in case of fire, I don’t want to be out with my garden hose.’ This is $2 million the taxpayers don’t have to come up with again.”

Alderman Herb Wyeth brought two new business licenses for approval, which were approved by the board.

Those included the license application by Suzy Brown, doing business as The Newburg Group LLC at 420 N. Liberty St. to operate an accounting and fundraising business, and a license

by Jeffrey Zawada doing business as Zmans Hair and Nail Care at 101 W. Illinois Ave.

Coal City’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ set for this weekend

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent Coal City High School is known for its fabulous musicals, and the cast of this week’s “The Little Mermaid” hopes to do the same.

The audience can expect a professional-quality production in its own neighborhood, and by teenagers, no less.

Jack Micetich, CCHS teacher, auditorium director and musical co-director, said he always tries to bring out the best in the young cast and crew, matching personalities and voices precisely to the parts to bring the beloved musical to life.

The play won’t be an exact replica of the movie, although viewers will see and hear their favorite movie slices.

Some of the production is taken from the Broadway play, Micetich said.

“Disney had just released this as a full-length show,” he said.

The school did the musical a few years ago, he said, but it was a “junior” version, where the story was altered a little bit.

He and his adult helpers originally had “West Side Story” in mind for this year’s musical, but after more evaluation, it didn’t fit the mix of voices and actors they had this year in the way that “The Little Mermaid” did.

This year’s cast, he said, is diverse and vocally strong.

“There are almost 20 named roles,” he said, “and almost every one of them has a solo, so we’re able to showcase all those different voices.”

“It has been challenging for them, but they are so talented,” co-director and vocal coach Sherfy Browning said. “I think vocally, this is the best group of students we’ve ever had.”

Browning had high praise for Sarah Moore, the junior who plays Ariel. “(Moore) sings like an angel.

It’s very inspiring.”

Browning said that Nick Berta, a junior who plays Prince Eric, has a phenomenal range, up to a high G note, which he gets to reach in the musical.

Everyone in the cast is talented, she said.

Senior Leah Campos, who plays Ursula, said she enjoys playing her

character, one of the most individual of the roles she has played. It’s also the role of the villain, and Campos said that’s also been a fun role to learn.

“I have to be very vocal,” she said, “and have lots of hand gestures. It’s been a lot of growing. I learn something new every day.”

Sarah Moore said she couldn’t believe it when she learned she got the role of the mermaid Ariel.

“I really didn’t believe what was on the piece of paper,” she said.

The musical is going to have something for everyone, Moore said.

Adults will enjoy the story, kids will be able to see their Disney princess and prince, and anyone left in between will have the chance to appreciate the relationships between the characters.

SACRIFICE TO HELP ANOTHER

Immaculate Conception School Principal Kim DesLauriers gives the students who participated in Mass a pep talk before Ash Wednesday service on March 1.

Immaculate Conception starts Ash Wednesday with traditional Mass

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Students and teachers from Immaculate Conception School assisted the Rev. Ed Howe during Ash Wednesday Mass at Immaculate Conception Church on March 1.

The students normally take part in a children’s Mass each Friday, during which they read from the Bible, lead prayers and sing as part of their weekly service.

“It [helping with Mass] strengthens our experience of Mass,” fifth-grade student Ariana Ramos said.

Those who did not have a part in the Ash Wednesday service sat tighter with their classes among the community in order to celebrate the beginning of the Lenten season.

According to Catholic.org, Ash Wednesday takes place 46 days before Easter Sunday. The tradition comes from an ancient Jewish tradition of penance and fasting.

“The ashes symbolize rebirth. Ashes are what our body returns to after it dies, but our soul doesn’t – it’s rebirth,” Howe said during the Mass on March 1.

“We receive ashes to remind us to turn away from sin and to believe in the gospel. We cannot receive ashes in faith if we don’t believe in the Word of God.” Howe said that, in the past, ashes were placed on the forehead of someone who committed a crime, and people marked as such would have to repent and perform acts of charity until their sentence was over. Howe wanted to remind children of sacrifices they need to make during the season.

“The act of repentance is one in which we do to change our lives to embrace the gospel and move forward,” Howe said. “And serve humbly.”

ICS Principal Kim DesLauriers said he wanted his students to understand that Ash Wednesday and Lent are not times to just give up candy or chocolate, but to understand the meaning.

“I hope the students understand that we are all sinners striving to be forgiven and do good things. We need to increase the level of growth, prayer and giving to others,” DesLauriers said.

Immaculate Conception School teacher Rhonda Johnson, along with Immaculate Conception Church’s the Rev. Ed Howe, place ashes on foreheads of ICS student as well as church members of the community.

Johnson places the sign of the cross in ashes upon the forehead of student Alma Repond during the Ash Wednesday Mass on March 1.

“Their sacrifice should help somebody else.”

DesLauriers said one year a women he knew was living on Social Security and had little funds but came into the school with a donation and asked that the money go to help someone else.

“She said she had denied herself things during Lent and asked us to give it to someone in need,” DesLauriers said. “She probably gave up necessities.”

Fifth-grade ICS teacher Rhonda Johnson said she teaches her students to put God first.

“Ash Wednesday is a journey of our faith which reminds us what we practice all year, to serve others and put God first. This is a time to do something that brings them closer to God,” Johnson said.

ICS student Alma Repond said that to her, Ash Wednesday meant “repen-

“I hope the students understand that we are all sinners striving to be forgiven and do good things. We need to increase the level of growth, prayer and giving to others. Their sacrifice should help somebody else.”

tance and the start of Lent. Giving stuff up, being kind and doing good stuff for other people in order to prepare for the rising of Jesus.”

Repond said she planned on taking a kinder approach toward other people

as her service during Lent.

DesLauriers said that during Lent, ICS makes sure the students stay active in Lenten activities. Each classroom talks about good works and have special prayers. Two separate weeks students perform the Stations of the Cross in order to walk the walk of Jesus.

“The eighth-grade students write out prayers for the 14 stations and resurrections. The fifth-grade students act out the stations dressed in period garb.

We also have a prayer on the PA that takes on a Lenten theme,” DesLauriers said.

Grace Lines, a student at ICS, said that Ash Wednesday was a symbol of her Lenten promises to herself and God. “It’s a symbol to stick to my Lenten promise to give up candy, and I am saying the Rosary when I wake up and go to bed to thank God,” Lines said.

The Minooka Community High School Central Campus Cafetorium turned in a concert hall as 500 people dined on a homemade pasta dinner in support of Minooka Indoor Percussion.

Works were performed by the Minooka Junior High Jazz Band, a woodwind quartet, a percussion duet with the finale by the guest of honor, Minooka Indoor Percussion, showing its 2017 competition piece called “Life is but a Dream.”

In its seventh season, the Minooka Indoor Percussion group is one of only two who compete in the indoor percussion realm in the entire state of Illinois. Leader Jacob Coon said the group competes in neighboring states. Most recently, the group took second place out of 12 in a competition in Indianapolis on Feb. 21.

“We chose to do this group by our own hands. The kids told me to check it out during the 2009-10 season and said they wanted to do this.

We began in the 2011 season, with

auditions in the fall, and the season runs November through April,” Coon said.

Coon, a 2001 MCHS alum, said this group gives the percussionist who usually maintains a supportive role in a band a leading role. He also said many of the students are also in marching band, some play different instruments, and use the indoor percussion group to branch out.

“It’s not always about the points, it’s about the atmosphere and teaching music ideas,” Coon said.

First-year indoor percussionist Kate Kuzel said she began her love of music in fifth grade and has played the bass drum, snare drum, suspended symbol and mallet instruments. She joined the group because of the programs and atmosphere.

“I joined indoor percussion because it seems like family and very welcoming,” Kuzel said. “I like the kind of programs they play. My favorite part was our competition in Indiana. What we worked on was

coming together, as I was playing I had competition nerves, but I was so excited to play.”

On Thursday, more than 500 tickets were sold to the spaghetti dinner, which exceeded expectations.

Twenty-four raffle baskets lined the perimeter of the room, 50/50 raffle tickets were sold and a silent auction raised funds to replace old equipment. Coon said the gear they use can run as high as $80,000 to $100,000.

“We know how generous the school can be and know we have a

generous community, so we wanted to take advantage of that and share music and have a fundraiser,” Coon said.

After dinner, the Minooka Indoor Percussion group played selections from its show “Life is but a Dream” which was based on the song, “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.”

When the students were finished, Coon invited the public, especially the children, to come up and see, touch and play the instruments, as well as interact with the students and ask questions about the program.

INDICTMENTS MORRIS – Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland, has announced that on March 1, the grand jury has returned the following indictments. The public is advised that a charge is merely an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until proved guilty.

event and was introduced to the instruments.

“The essence of the event is after everybody is done playing, the young kids were encouraged to play the instruments. I asked my daughter if she remembers being younger and playing with the instruments,” Sharon Kuzel said. “My daughter remembered that and wants to pass it along to encourage other kids.”

Coon said after it was all said and done that he was happy to see a constant line and flow for the dinner and to feel the community support.

“The community support is powerful. I saw young families, older families, older couples all here tonight in support of our program,” Coon said. “This was an accurate representation of the music community.”

Puskar said she is concerned because those bullet holes are just the ones people have found. She also expressed concern that being in a rural area, police don’t care as much.

Minooka police are working closely with the Kendall County Sheriff’s Department on the shootings, Duffy said. The agencies are in contact on a daily basis about the investigation.

Trustee and Safety Committee Chairman Dick Parrish said he has discussed the incidents with Meyer and, from the trajectory of the bullet holes, it appears the weapons were shot into the air.

MINOOKA – A handful of Minooka residents attended last week’s village board meeting to find out what is being done about bullet holes found in homes, vehicles and a pool in Sommerfield subdivision and unincorporated Kendall County off Ridge Road north of Interstate 80.

Bullet holes have been discovered in a dining room, garage and bathroom of her neighbors, Sommerfield resident Amanda Puskar said.

Minooka Administrative Director Dan Duffy read aloud a letter, which had been sent to residents in the affected areas from Chief of Police Justin Meyer, who was out sick.

Several incidents were officially reported to Minooka police, Duffy said, on two separate occasions: Dec. 20 of last year and Feb. 20.

Limited snow in winter not a problem for plants

By TONY SCOTT

tscott@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County might not have seen much white stuff on the ground this winter, but plenty of water is available for growing crops. The effect on flowers and other plants should be minimal, local experts say.

Dan Reedy, manager of the Kendall County Farm Bureau in Yorkville, said there has been enough rain to sustain moisture in the ground for growing crops in the summer despite the lack of snow this winter.

“Even though we did not have snow, we had plenty of rain during the month of January and into February to not have any concerns at this point that we do not have subsoil moisture,” he said.

“At the times when it rained, even back in January, the ground was not as frozen as what you’d normally think at that point in time.

“So a lot of it did end up absorbing into the soil and going on down.

Of course, we did have some runoff, but considering it was January, a lot of it did go down into the soil. So even though we didn’t get the snow, we got lots of liquid rain.”

Richard Hentschel, horticulture educator with the University of Illinois

Raffles

Tony Scott - tscott@kendallcountynow.com

Tulip bulbs pop up in the yard of a home in the Countryside Center subdivision in Yorkville this week. The warm, rainy weather – combined with more leaf coverage than usual – has caused many bulbs to emerge from the soil.

Extension, said there was a greater amount of leaf cover on the ground this winter because the leaves didn’t fall from trees until later than normal. He said the thicker leaf cover is causing bulbs to pop out of the ground more.

“If we had a turn of cold weather and the top of what’s out of the ground froze, the flower for that bulb is still down in the ground, inside the bulb,” he said. “So we’re still going to get the flower show. We may have leaves that are fried at the top, burnt, and the rest of the leaves will come out later and then the blooms will come out. So I’m really not expecting tragedy.”

“There is a bit of a concern there early guys are going to be up anyway, because normally in fall the temperaand perhaps this year earlier. But they tures progressively get colder and that’s a signal to the plant, hey, it’s are responding to the environment.”

Hentschel said flowers will bloom time to go to sleep,” he said. “With the

long protracted fall, there are a variety of trees that, if they were down in southern Illinois they’d be growing.

They get shut off by the stimuli of cold weather and things here. So that did not happen and that’s why all those leaves hung on as long as they did and finally came down after our first heavy snow.”

He continued, “If those buds and associated growth with those leaves, especially toward the tip, did not get hardened off in time, because of the long fall, then we would expect to see bud death, twig dieback, winter kill in other words. And on trees and plants that are not truly zone hardy up here, that can happen anyway. But I think that potential is certainly there.”

“Even though we did not have snow, we had plenty of rain during the month of January and into February to not have any concerns at this point that we do not have subsoil moisture.”

LOCAL BRIEFS Julian Houston to run in April primary for Morris 2nd Ward

Incumbent Julian Houston will run as the 2nd Ward Republican alderman in the

April election after winning the primary 109 to 91 against Matthew Brooks.

“I’m happy with the turn out and the voters spoke,” Brooks said Wednesday morning. “I want to thank Julian for running a fair race.

VIEWS Judy Mitchell Maintaining that accessibility for students, however, isn’t always easy. Daily, our institution is faced with incredibly difficult choices as the state budget crisis looms large and directly impacts our ability to support students and innovate in our programming.

We’ve made significant cuts to our operations – over $2 million in four years – and we continue to do more with less.

We gave out nearly $700,000 in scholarships last year, thanks to the JJC Foundation, so that our students would bear less of a financial burden to attend college while we’ve considered last resort options such as raising tuition to make up for dwindling state support.

Our students and our communi-

ty deserve the same opportunities given to those generations that came before them, and we are working diligently to preserve that access while not jeopardizing quality.

Understanding how this accessibility impacts real people is critical.

One student that I think of immediately is Victoria Barclay, who reached out to me recently to share her story.

Victoria began her journey at JJC in 2014 with a GED. She was selftaught leading up to her classes at JJC, and hadn’t found an educational outlet in her native Canada that she felt would successfully support her return to school as a young adult.

Although she initially planned to enter the vet tech program, she soon gained an interest in chemistry after taking a general chemistry class.

Victoria also worked part time as a tutor to make ends meet in the Tutoring and Learning Center on campus.

Along the way, she received numerous scholarships that helped her

along the way financially.

Today, Victoria is transferring 67 credits and a 4.0 GPA from JJC to a chemical engineering program at Olivet Nazarene University, receiving the highest academic scholarship of $23,000 a year.

Victoria told me that she was so appreciative of the JJC network – faculty, staff and her peers – all of whom were accepting of her nontraditional path and helped her find her way during a time in which she wondered whether there were any higher educational options left for her.

Victoria’s story, perhaps, is not unlike your own, or your children’s.

We all deserve possibility.

We all deserve opportunity.

It is my promise to you and to our community that we will work diligently to maintain this access to education for you and for future generations.

• Judy Mitchell is the president of Joliet Junior College.

• Thursday, March 9, 2017

Hands down, one of the best parts of my job as president of Joliet Junior College is connecting with our students and alumni to hear their success stories.

It’s not surprising to me that at the core of their journeys are similar themes.

The choice to pursue an education, to persist in the face of internal and external struggles, was worth what was waiting for them at their end of their academic journey: better job prospects, the chance to start a new career, increased earnings, and opportunities that simply weren’t available to them before.

It is my job, and the job of many others at Joliet Junior College, to ensure we inspire our students’ success and remove any barriers or obstacles that may get in their way on their path to success.

Increasing accessibility to a higher education for all has remained a basic tenet of JJC’s mission since it was founded as the nation’s first public community college 116 years ago.

FAQ: Proposed Grundy County Public Safety Tax summary SHAW MEDIA MORRIS – Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor created a question-and-answer document so voters can be informed in April when they vote for or against the Public Safety Tax question on their ballot.

“I hope this provides some answers and important data Doug to voters in Grundy Pryor County,” Pryor said on Wednesday.

What is the proposed Public Safety Tax Ballot Question?

On the April 4, 2017 ballot, you will see the following question: “To pay for public safety purposes, shall Grundy County be authorized to impose an increase on its share of local sales taxes by .50%?

This would mean that a consumer would pay an additional 50 cents in sales tax for every $100.00 of tangible

property bought at retail.”

What does/does not apply to the Public Safety Tax?

A Public Safety Tax applies to the sale of tangible goods just like regular sales tax, but does not apply to the following: • Prescription and nonprescription medicines and drugs • Food for human consumption that is consumed off the premises where it is sold • Medical appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics • Personal property titled or registered with an agency of this state’s government, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, trailers, etc.

The Public Safety Tax also does not apply to other items that are exempt from sales tax (farm machinery, etc.).

What could the Public Safety Tax be used for?

Grundy County would only be

able to use the revenue generated for public safety purposes, which would include but not be limited to: • Crime prevention • Detention • Emergency services • Police services Public safety services make up more than 60 percent of the county’s general fund budget.

Why did the County Board place this measure on April ballot?

Grundy County needs to immediately address the challenge created by the permanent loss of sales tax revenue in the county, along with decreasing revenues from state and federal sources.

The county has been in the fortunate position to be able to use excess working capital to fund the difference over the last two years, but does not have adequate capital to continue this practice.

In short, the county does not

FEELING SAD People of all ages can suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of temporary depression that is linked to cold, overcast weather. The diminishing amount of sunlight that occurs during the winter months seems to trigger changes in moods, appetites, and sleep patterns. Seniors who are homebound due to ill health, injury, or lack of mobility are apt to suffer from SAD. Part-time or full-time caregivers can often identify potential issues by observing senior clients’ behaviors. The caregivers may suggest visiting a physician, provide transportation to the primary care doctor, or pick up any prescriptions that are required. Caregivers are also able to provide positive interactions that can elevate seasonal moods while helping with indoor

• PUBLIC SAFTEY TAX

Continued from page 18

Why is sales tax revenue down in Grundy County?

Grundy County’s sales tax revenue has decreased by 59 percent over the last five years.

The largest portion of the sales tax decrease is because of the restructuring of rules at the Illinois Department of Revenue regarding sales offices.

This change in sales tax revenues has resulted in a dollar decline of more than $2.4 million a year in the county’s general fund revenues.

This represents a 12 percent decline in the general fund revenue between 2012 and 2016, and the loss is expected to be permanent.

How does the county pay for public safety today?

How much revenue would this tax generate for public safety in Grundy County if approved?

The Public Safety Tax is estimated to generate $1.2 million annually to spend on public safety purposes for each 0.25 percent of public safety tax implemented.

Grundy County currently funds the public safety portion of county government with a combination of tax revenues, fees and fines, as well as state and federal grants and reimbursements.

The overwhelming majority of the funds for public safety come from the

general fund. Total general fund expenditures were $15 million in 2012, and fell to $14.2 in 2016, representing a 6 percent decline in expenditures.

In 2016, public safety expenditures alone were more than $9 million, and comprised more than 60 percent of the county’s general fund spending.

The sheriff’s office and jail alone are more than a third of the county’s overall general fund expenditures.

The county board has an obligation to maintain public safety services within the county.

However, the $2 million-plus revenue decline has placed the county in a position where its ability to do this is threatened.

The Public Safety Tax would create a dedicated funding stream for public safety spending that would ensure that the level of public safety service currently provided in Grundy County is maintained for the future, without reliance on property taxes or other general fund revenue streams.

Plano man faces multiple charges after traffic crash SHAW MEDIA PLANO – On Feb. 22 at approximately 4:10 p.m., Kendall County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the area of River Road and Blackhawk Road, unincorporated Plano, for a report of a single-vehicle crash into a utility pole.

The alleged driver, Demetrius Peterson, fled the scene and quickly was

apprehended with the assistance of Plano Police, Conservation Police and Kendall County Criminal Intelligence Team.

Peterson was taken to a local hospital by Little Rock Fox EMS and became combative with the officers and medical personnel.

Peterson, a 23-year-old male from Plano, was charged with two counts

of aggravated battery, both Class 3 felonies.

Peterson also was charged with possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony, after being found in possession of a controlled substance.

Peterson was also charged with driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license and leaving the scene of an accident, all Class A mis-

demeanors.

Peterson’s bond was set at $30,000, with 10 percent to apply.

Peterson was released from the hospital with minor injuries and released to the Kendall County Sheriff’s Deputies, where he was taken to the Kendall County Jail.

Peterson posted bail and awaits his next court date.

The restaurant, located at 25365 S. Fryer St. in Channahon, is owned

“We are in a building that has been at the heart of Channahon for over 100 years. The business was started by two brothers with a combined over 20 years in the restaurant business. It’s a great family restaurant with a full bar, good environment and good food,” Mike and Eric Gocman said in a news release.

• HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

“It has been challenging for them, but they are so talented. I think vocally, this is the best group of students we’ve ever had.”

Continued from page 3

Nick Berta said he thinks what he enjoys most about the play are the personal situations and conflicts and how they play out.

Nick’s Prince Eric character wants to find love, he said, and also is conflicted about how he feels about becoming king.

The audience also will find all of the behind-the-scenes work up to par with CCHS musicals, from the magnificent costumes, which they pattern and make right there; to the imaginative sets by set designer Celeste Sheridan; to the music. A handful of professional musicians will add to the live music of Coal City band members.

The more than 50 brilliant wigs and hairpieces fashioned by local hairstylist Chad White alone might be worth the ticket.

This is White’s sixth year adding his expertise to the show. He started when his daughter, Tori White, was in Micetich’s first play. It’s allowed him not only to be a part of something bigger, White said, but to have a bigger part in his daughter’s life.

Coal City High School’s musicals have been recognized statewide, as well.

For the past three years, they have

received recognition by Broadway in Chicago, which Micetich explained is like the Tony Awards of Illinois high school musicals.

In 2014, the school’s production of “Shrek” won Best Scenic Design. In 2015, several students were nominated for best actor in “Beauty and the Beast,” and last year the school won Best Scenic Design for its work in “Little Shop of Horrors.”

This year, its musical was selected as one of 100 schools to be evaluated for Broadway in Chicago honors.

The musical, “The Little Mermaid,” will be at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday; at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday; and at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Mazon girl focus of Shamrock Shave fundraiser

By HANNAH PROKOP

U.S. will have cancer before they turn 20 years old, according to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation’s website, and about 4 percent of U.S. federal funding is solely dedicated to childhood cancer research.

“There’s not enough being dedicated to ensuring that these children have long lives following treatment, or successful treatments in general,” said Tabitha Freeman, Talia’s mother.

Talia visits her father on weekends and in the summer at his Algonquin home, and lives full time with her brother, mother and stepfather Joe Freeman in Mazon.

When Talia was in eighth grade and an active runner, she started experiencing excruciating pain, which doctors at first brushed off as an athletic injury, her mother said. It wasn’t until July when she was officially diagnosed and admitted at Advocate Lu-

theran General Children’s Hospital.

In December, Talia completed 31 aggressive chemotherapy treatments that were unsuccessful, the family said. Now she will be doing a less intense type of chemotherapy intended to extend her life, and the family is pursuing more holistic treatments, often not covered by insurance.

Tabitha Freeman no longer works, as Talia requires 24-hour care and cannot go to school at Seneca Township High School most days.

“Obviously now things have changed a little bit, and we want to try and enjoy as much as we can with her,” Greg Freund said. “… With the generosity of a lot of people, we’re able to do a lot of things with her.”

In addition to the money being donated to Talia through the Shamrock Shave, Talia and her family have also received support from fundraisers at her high school, and through her recent appearance on the “Windy City LIVE” talk show.

Although she continues to battle cancer, Talia said she hopes people will treat her like a normal teen.

“If they treat you like a cancer patient, you feel like one,” Talia said.

“The people who treat you like normal [are the ones] you’re going to want to be around.”

The ninth annual Shamrock Shave will be held at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at St. Margaret Mary Catholic School, 119 S. Hubbard St., Algonquin.

Donations can also be given through Talia’s GoFundMe page, https://www.gofundme.com/2f49un8.

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Nearly every year since 2009, Algonquin resident Greg Freund has participated in the Shamrock Shave, hosted by St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church.

This year will be different, however, because money raised by Freund and those on his team will benefit his 14-year-old daughter, Talia Freund, who was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma in July 2016.

“I didn’t realize back in 2009 when I decided to do this, and then [my children] decided to do it with me, that someday it would turn around and be a benefit for us as well as other kids,” Freund said.

Freund’s children, Talia and 13-year-old son Owen, had participated in the Shamrock Shave with their father before. After Talia, who lives in Mazon, was diagnosed with rare bone cancer, the whole family shaved their heads before she started chemotherapy treatments.

“After she realized she was going to lose her hair anyways, she just said, ‘You know what, I’d rather shave it than wait until it starts falling out,’ ” Greg Freund said.

In March, organizations throughout the country hold shaves to benefit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, and other local causes.

The shaves are meant to raise money for childhood cancer research and show children who have lost hair due to treatments that others stand proudly with them, according to the foundation’s website.

A full lineup of events throughout spring Successful economic development is a group effort that involves local residents, officials and businesses. In an effort to educate the community and thank its many supporters, the GEDC has a full agenda of events this spring.

GEDC/Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner – March 22

A great night to celebrate the many successes of the Grundy County community, the annual dinner will be held at Chapin’s East in Minooka. The GEDC will present awards to the Business of the Year, Partnership Award, and Welcome to Grundy County.

The Partnership Award began as a way to recognize organizations or individuals that go the extra mile to encourage economic development. To be successful, all facets of a new project need to fall into place and this award is a way to say “thank you.”

The competition is fierce for new investment, and businesses have many choices of where to locate. The Wel-

VIEWS Nancy E. Norton come to Grundy County recognition is presented to new businesses that choose to invest and create jobs in our community. Once here, businesses that become involved in the community and support local organizations are typically recognized. The Welcome to Grundy County award is a great way to show gratitude.

Lastly, the Business of the Year is just that, a great local business. The award is given to large and small companies that invest in Grundy County and are good corporate citizens.

Winners typically serve on local boards, volunteer at nonprofits and contribute to the greater good of our community. The dinner is open to all, so contact the GEDC or Chamber offices to secure your reservation.

Economic Development Boot Camp – April 27

What does it take to be successful at economic development? How can a community attract jobs and new investment? These are some of the issues to be addressed at the first economic development boot camp for municipal and county officials on April 27.

When residents serve on local boards, they deal with a variety of issues ranging from finances, law enforcement, planning and zoning, to mention just a few. No one can be an expert at everything.

Accordingly, the GEDC is excited to host this educational evening, providing useful, practical information about economic development. There will be presenters from developers, utilities, incentive experts and much more.

Invitations will be sent out to all municipal and county officials, but anyone interested in learning more about economic development is welcome to attend.

Join us to hear firsthand from our local legislators about the policy challenges and opportunities being considered in Springfield and Washington.

Invited legislators include Congressman Kinzinger, state Sens.

Hutchinson and Rezin, and state Reps.

OPINIONS

Many families lack the money to choose schools

SPRINGFIELD – The subject of school choice has come to the forefront in recent weeks with the appointment of Betsy DeVos as the U.S. Education Secretary.

When folks debate the merits of school choice, I can’t help but smile.

The fact of the matter is we already have school choice in America.

Bureaucrats sit in school administration buildings and draw lines on maps to determine where your child will go to school in a particular school district.

They choose. You don’t.

And school district boundaries drawn before students – and most of their teachers – were born, play an even bigger role in determining what services will be available for students.

The caliber of education a child receives should not be determined by a family’s ZIP code. For example, the rural school district I live in near Springfield has a limited curriculum.

My neighbors tell me youngsters wanting to get into competitive math and science curriculums at top universities are often left disappointed.

Fortunately, my family can afford to send our daughters to a Catholic school in Springfield that offers a more demanding curriculum.

But many folks, whether they live in inner cities or rural areas, just don’t have that option.

They lack the money to choose, so their kids are just stuck.

Don’t get me wrong, Illinois has some excellent public schools. I attended public schools and universities from kindergarten through graduate school. For the most part, my experiences were good. But like most students, I had some excellent teachers and I had some weaker ones.

Education Secretary De-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Scott Reeder Vos has advocated for voucher programs where money follows the student.

In other words, vouchers could be issued to parents and they could choose where their youngsters learn. They could choose among private, religious, public, online, charter or home-schooling options.

It seems a fair solution.

I’ve yet to meet a parent who wants to see their child fail.

But teachers unions oppose this idea. They fear it will result in less money going to public schools.

That could happen, but only if public schools fail to compete.

Most folks are quite happy with the public schools their children are attending.

But not all are.

For example, a 2004 Fordham Institute study found that 39 percent of Chicago Public School teachers send their own children to private schools. That’s compared with a national average of 12 percent of all children who are educated privately.

Think about that.

Four out of 10 Chicago teachers are willing to pay money to keep their kids from attending the schools where they teach.

That speaks volumes.

Those teachers have school choice because they can afford it.

Why shouldn’t all families be afforded the same opportunity?

Messy churches are everywhere; come join us MORRIS – “Extra, Extra, read all about it!” This phrase was shouted when a newsworthy announcement was discovered.

In 2017 A.D., know this news flash!

Church is messy, past, present and future. Yes, the local church community is messy because it is made up of messy people for 2,000 years.

The church community is composed of couples that don’t have perfect marriages or problem-free kids. Teenagers are presented with adult decisions far too early. There is more month than income, less time to accomplish; family scheduling is a nightmare; and well, Sunday morning offers too many options to make a decision.

Every Sunday, individuals and families weigh their options and make a decision that impacts life and

VIEWS Steven Cook legacy. Some sleep in later, others are working to serve, and of course there is leisure time, sporting events, travel time, visiting family, unexpected events, and the list becomes lengthy, continuously edging out the Church.

According to the U.S. Census, 60 percent of America attends the church of their choice on any given Sunday.

There are 50,541 (2015) residents in Grundy County, which translates to 30,300 attending church every Sunday.

It also indicates 20,241 people choose something else. Many of these never attend, stopped attending or attend a

few times per year.

Messy Church, messy people, messy families, and a messy life does not tell the complete story. The title of this story indicates there is more to the story.

The Good News is, yes, there is more to the story; your story and my story. Every day, story after story is told of life transformation. God’s plan, God’s community called the church made up of messy people who fall off the wagon frequently.

God’s Story, the Bible, threaded with victories, promises, and wisdom.

Salvation is found in no other name but Jesus (Acts 4:11-12). God cares what happens to us (1 Peter 5:7) but won’t step into fix all of our problems (1 Peter 4:12-13). Our Creator offers grace and desires all people to come to Him (1 Timothy 2:3-4).

This is the Sunday to make a decision that will impact your life and legacy for generations to come. Grundy County has a great selection of messy churches following God, saved through Christ, and empowered by the Spirit. Select a Church made up of messy people and join in this wonderful community called CHURCH. God’s Plan A for all people is the local church. There is no Plan B. We are called to be the Church, messy as we are, to tell others the Good News (Matthew 28:16-20). Let there be no misunderstanding about the important things in life.

God lives. He loves. He reigns!

Development partnership ready for Liberty 5K The Morris Downtown Development Partnership is looking forward to bringing the eighth annual Liberty 5K Run/Walk back to downtown Morris on July 3. The Liberty 5K has grown into what we believe is the largest 5K in Morris.

One might wonder why this 5K, held on one of the busiest weekends of the year, has become so popular.

I sincerely believe that it is because of the fact that we honor, support and recognize our military personnel.

Those who have attended this 5K in the past have seen the sea of red, white, and blue runners in patriotic garb sporting everything from red, white, and blue ribbons, apparel, necklaces, hair, glasses and even tutus.

Some even carry U.S. flags.

The patriotic theme isn’t the only way we recognize our military personnel. Each year, there is a special awards bracket for all military personnel and special military trophies are awarded to first, second and third place male and female overall

COMMUNITY PULSE Julie Applegate military finishers.

Additionally, all military personnel receive a special promotional piece.

Another appeal of the Liberty 5K is the fact that it is a chip-timed race on a certified course. The course takes runners through nostalgic downtown Morris, area parks and neighborhoods.

The route is completely paved and primarily flat with a few slight hills. Locals and visitors alike have complemented the 5K committee on the excellent course.

Although we honor our military personnel, there are plenty of perks for all runners. A performance shirt, coupons, a Liberty 5K “dog tag” and other give aways will also be in the goodie bags of pre-registered runners.

Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs hosts 26th Desert Storm remembrance ceremony SHAW MEDIA SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs hosted a Desert Storm Remembrance ceremony at the Illinois State Capitol Rotunda in Springfield recently. The ceremony honored all Desert Storm veterans and paid tribute to the Illinois Heroes who lost their lives.

“Today we come together to honor the brave men and women who fought for their country during the Gulf War,” sided Director Erica Jeffries. “Every service member who fought relentlessly during his war are true heroes.”

Governor Bruce Rauner also proclaimed Feb. 28, 2017, as Desert Storm Remembrance Day in Illinois in memory of all the heroes who died in the attack on Desert Storm, and in tribute to all the men and women whose sacrifices made the world safer for liberty and freedom.

Ken Buck, commander of Grundy County VAC, was actively involved in

that conflict, and reflected on it as he heard the news.

“That is the conflict I was in,” he said. “It’s nice that the government and the state of Illinois haven’t forgotten our segment.”

COL Lance Koenig has been the Chief of Staff for Army Sustainment Command at Rock Island Arsenal since July of 2015. COL Koenig has more than 29 years of active commissioned service,mainly as a logistics officer, in support of Airborne, Armor, and Special Operations forces. During Desert Storm. The was a Maintenance Platoon Leader for the 511th Military Intelligence Battalion which was part of 7th Corps.

His unit entered Saudi Arabia at the port of Dharan, convoyed 24 hours to a tactical assembly area in the desert where they established camp until several months later the ground assault kicked off and they maneuvered with 7th Corps into Iraq until the cease fire was called. He was awarded a Bronze Star for his role in this operation.

Other highlights of the Liberty 5K are the ¼ mile and ½ mile kids’ runs. Medals will be awarded to the top male and female finishers in each run, and a special award is given to the most patriotic runner.

Of course, there will be medals for the top three male and female runners in each age division, as well as trophies and cash awards for the top three male and female finishers overall.

This year, we also have added a Masters Category for runners age 40 years old and older.

Those who are in running clubs also have the opportunity to win cash for their club. The three running clubs with the most participants will receive awards of $1,000, $500 and $250.

The Liberty 5K would not be possible without the support of our sponsors.

Major sponsors for this year’s event are The Morris Herald-News, WCSJ/WJDK, as well as the support of the City or Morris and the Heritage Corridor Convention and

Visitor’s Bureau.

Here are the details: The Liberty 5K Run/Walk is scheduled for at 7:30 p.m. July 3.

The kids’ runs will begin at 6:45 p.m. The cost to register by June 30 is $25, and $35 on race day.

Runners age 14 and under can register by June 30 at the discounted rate of $18.

The cost of the kids run is $5.

Interested runners can download a registration form or register on line at www.liberty5k.com.

Questions can be directed to the Morris Downtown Development Partnership Inc. at mddp@downtownmorris.com or by calling 815941-0245.

SHAW MEDIA OTTAWA – Students seeking careers in health care can earn money toward tuition as part of a new educational assistance program offered

by OSF Saint Elizabeth Medical Center. Designed to support high school seniors and college students living within LaSalle County, the program offers up to $5,000 annually to its recipients.

“Since 1995, the OSF Saint Elizabeth Foundation has awarded over $100,000 in scholarships to high school seniors from a number of area schools,” said Ken Beutke, hospital president. “And although that format supported a large number of graduates, we felt it was time to revamp the structure of our program to better serve the needs of both students and our organization.”

Further explaining how OSF worked to reimagine its vision for funding education, Beutke said one of their goals was to address concerns of a possible workforce shortage within the health care industry.

Unlike the previous scholarship program, the new format places more emphasis on recruiting and retaining talent locally.

“In exchange for tuition assis-

tance, award recipients will be asked to invest their skills into the community by returning to work within the hospital or one of our local clinics,” he said. “By directing our resources for educational assistance more strategically, we help to ensure that caregivers are available in the future.”

The hospital’s program will continue to rely on support from their Foundation. In addition, the OSF Saint Elizabeth Auxiliary – its fundraising body – will also lend financial backing to the project.

Both organizations are supportive of the change and look forward to helping students who are willing to serve the local health care community.

Students applying for educational assistance must meet various requirements and be able to submit a number of supporting documents to be eligible for consideration.

Applicants will also be required to attend an interview to further discuss their health care interest and review their achievements.

More information about the educational assistance program, including the online application, is available at www.osfsaintelizabeth.org.

The deadline to apply is March 31.

CHICAGO – The Illinois State Board of Education and the Chicago Urban League today finalized a settlement agreement in the matter of the Chicago Urban League, et al., vs. Illinois State Board of Education, pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County.

The settlement agreement resolves this longstanding litigation by establishing how ISBE will proceed when the General Assembly fails to enact an appropriation sufficient to pay for all General State Aid claims submitted by school districts.

In response to the settlement agreement, Illinois State Board of Education Chairman James T. Meeks issued the following statement: “The case settled today addresses one of the many symptoms caused by the State’s education funding system that is failing Illinois’ students.

ISBE deeply appreciates Governor Bruce Rauner and the General Assembly for their ongoing efforts to reform the core problem of Illinois’ inadequate and inequitable education funding system.

“ISBE will continue to base all of its decisions on the best interests of individual school districts and their students to ensure that the whole child receives a high-quality educa-

tion in a safe, secure, and supportive educational environment. ISBE remains hopeful that the General Assembly will enact funding reform during this legislative session to guarantee that no students ever have to settle for less than they deserve.”

The Chicago Urban League filed the lawsuit in April 2008 challenging the constitutionality and equitability of the State’s education funding system.

After the Court dismissed the State as a party and all constitutional claims, the Chicago Urban League specifically challenged ISBE’s use of “proration” during Fiscal 2013 through 2015.

Specifically, in those years, when the General Assembly failed to appropriate sufficient funds to pay for the total amount of GSA owed to school districts, ISBE managed the shortfall by decreasing all school districts’ GSA payments by an equal across-the-board percentage.

Expert witnesses for each party analyzed the Chicago Urban League’s claim and disagreed as to whether any disparity in funding caused by proration was significant.

ISBE has at all times denied any liability or wrongdoing in this lawsuit, and the parties agreed to settle to avoid the burden, costs and distraction of continued litigation.

New database reinforces geological history ILSTRAT highlights nearly 200 years of science, 500 million years of history SUBMITTED REPORT CHAMPAIGN – People have been studying what exists beneath Illinois’ surface since the 1830s. This research exists as mountains of careful observations, combined with numerous individual research projects, distilled into three seminal scientific reports published decades ago on paper – crowning achievements of many a career at the Illinois State Geological Survey.

Now freed from the bookshelf, the collected knowledge of Illinois’ geologic past has been digitized, and released online as ILSTRAT – an interactive resource for the public, industry, and government to understand the rocks beneath our feet. Organized as an editable online database, or wiki, ILSTRAT brings to life the best scientific consensus of how Illinois was built – from the ground-down.

Did you know?

• In Illinois, we walk around on a relatively thin “skin” of unconsolidated sand, soils, silts and glacial deposits

that can range in thickness from a few feet to a few hundred feet.

• Illinois also has a “basement.”

These are Precambrian rocks older than 542 million years, formed before complex multicellular lifeforms began to appear on Earth. They are found starting 1,500 feet deep in Jo Daviess County, but plummet continuously southward to the area around Shawnee National Forest, where they are found 14,000 feet below the surface.

• Ever heard of Cook County? ILSTRAT tells us that under its ”skin” of glacial sediments, the bedrock is mostly 420 million- to 440 million-year-old dolomites composed of the remnants of ancient tropical reefs formed when Illinois was at the equator.

Geologists study rock layers to locate water and other valuable resources that form over millions of years.

These collected studies also helped work out our understanding about how the Earth formed and was changed by climate and movements of the earth’s crust. More than 500 distinct geologic “units” have been identified so far in Illinois.

Geologists have discovered much about Illinois in the 40 years since the publication of the reports used initially to build ILSTRAT. But without a major paper publication to gather them all together, those revisions and revelations remain scattered in presentations, papers, and notebooks of individual investigators.

Many of these pending updates await capture in ILSTRAT by those same investigators, and going forward it will spur regular updates as a ready repository for new discoveries to advance the scientific picture. In effect, ILSTRAT provides both a baseline for understanding the stratigraphy of Illinois, and more importantly, a framework to update and build to the future.

“Geologists are constantly making new discoveries and refining our understanding of rock layers,” ISGS geologist Scott Elrick said. Geologist Jennifer Obrad, who did much of the editing ILSTRAT, offered two examples of major pending additions to the database.

First is an extensive update of Pennsylvanian rocks (323 million to 299 million years ago) by John Nelson and others. The second is a compendium of fossils characteristic of the Platteville Dolomite (485 million to 444 million years ago) by Dennis Kolata.

ILSTRAT joins a group of other scientific resources at ISGS intended to burst the academic bubble by being accessible to the public. Visual (linked to Google maps), searchable, and mobile (phone accessible), these databases can offer information for specialists, students, hikers and hobbyists.

• Is a water aquifer below us? Visit http://www.isgs.illinois.edu/ilwater.

• Where is the nearest oil or gas field? Visit http://www.isgs.illinois. edu/illinois-oil-and-gas-resources-interactive-map.

The newcomer, ILSTRAT, represents an encyclopedic reference to provide a scientific touchstone for our geologic data.

It also can flexibly accommodate multimedia material that can make data points more informative and accessible. For example, Google maps connectivity may be added to increase its ease of use for visualizing geographic extents of geologic units.

Because ILSTRAT is a living repository for the scientific community, industry, and the public, geologists at other colleges, other state geologic surveys and industry can propose updates of information, logs and pictures.

Even knowledgeable amateurs could help improve the database with their observations.

For instance, the discovery of a fossil in an area between two units could help better refine a formation’s age, or the type of biota that once lived there.

As the 2017 tax season gets underway, GrundyBankurgesclientstotakeextraprecaution when filing their tax returns. Tax identity theft has been the most common form of identity theft reported to the Federal Trade Commission for the past five years.

Grundy Bank recommends these tips to help prevent tax ID fraud:

--Find a tax preparer you trust. Get recommendations and research tax preparers thoroughly before handing over all of your financial information.

--Shred what you don’t need. Once you’ve completed your tax return, shred sensitive documents you don’t need and safely file away the ones you do.

--Beware of phishing scams by email, text or phone. Scammers may try to solicit sensitive information by impersonating the IRS. Know that the IRS will not contact you by email, text or social media.

--File early. File your tax return as soon as possible, giving criminals less time to file a false return using your information.

--Keep an eye out for missing mail. Fraudsters lookforW-2s,taxrefundsorothermailcontaining your financial information. it looks like it has been previously opened upon delivery, contact the IRS immediately.

--File on a protected wi-fi network. If you’re using an online service to file your return, be sure you’re connected to a password-protected personal network.

If you believe you’re a victim of tax identity theft or if the IRS denies your tax return because one has previously been filed under your name, alert the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490.

--Use a secure mailbox. If you’re filing by mail, drop your tax return at an official postal box instead of your mailbox at home.

BOYS BASKETBALL CLASS 3A COAL CITY REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: MORRIS 41, PONTIAC 36

Morris learns from the past to win regional

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – They don’t put asterisks on championship banners or plaques.

Those are earned, whether they came from what was perceived as the toughest regional around or not.

In Illinois high school basketball, you play where you are assigned and, if you win that small tournament, you are awarded a regional championship plaque and move on to play in the sectional.

Case in point, the Morris boys basketball team. When the pairings came out for the Class 3A Coal City Regional, it was pretty apparent that

this was a regional with no clear-cut favorite. Sandwich owned the highest seed, but it was evident that the rest of the teams were capable of beating each other and giving the Indians a run for their money.

Pontiac was the lowest seed, having entered the postseason with a grand total of two wins.

But the Pontiac team that showed up in Coal City was a different team than it had showed for much of the season, and they equaled their win total by downing host Coal City in the first round, then pulling off the upset of Sandwich in the semifinals.

38 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Coal City accepts bid for new stadium bleachers

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – During the past few years, Coal City High School has been undergoing quite a face-lift.

That will continue as the high school board has been following the recommendation of the district Finance Committee by aggressively working to complete necessary capital improvement projects before the 2018 conclusion of the current Dresden tax agreement.

One of the identified projects has been to replace the outdoor stadium.

On Dec. 7, the board authorized district administration to receive bids for the first part of the new stadium facility. Bid proposals from R. Berti Building Solutions, R.L. Sohol General Contractor, Talsma Builders, Vissering Construction Company and Southern Bleacher were opened on Jan. 18.

Board member Shawn Hamilton moved and Jeff Emerson seconded to accept the lowest responsible bid for Bid Package No. 1 for the New Stadium Facility from R.L. Sohol of Plainfield with a base bid of $539,700.

The board reviewed a recommendation from architect Healy, Bender.

After discussion, the board generally felt that significant time had been spent by district personnel who use the facility and by the board to review multiple options so that the best decision for the district and taxpayer could be made regarding the completion of the new stadium facility.

Coal City athletic director Dan Hutchings was pleased to see the project moving forward.

“It shows a very proactive approach by our school board,” Hutchings said.

“The main thing is to make both the home and visitors’ side of the stadium ADA-compatible. We may add a few extra seats, but we will stay at a similar capacity and bring the stadium up to code as far as being accessible.”

The change will be just another part of the ongoing renovations that have been happening at Coal City for the last five years or so.

Since then, the baseball and softball fields, soccer field and tennis courts have all been renovated, as well as adding a new gymnasium and fine arts center to the school. It has

“It gives the community some pride in the school, which our board is very aware of. They know that in a small community like this that the town likes to rally around the high school, and stuff like this just gives them something more to be proud of.”

Dan Hutchings

Coal City athletic director

helped Coal City become a much more frequent host when it comes to postseason events and tournaments.

“That’s certainly a good thing for us,” Hutchings said. “It’s nice to see the when the regional or sectional sites are posted that we have one of them. Our kids get to play on their own fields or courts and don’t have to take those long bus rides, plus we get a little revenue stream coming into the

school with the concessions.

“It gives the community some pride in the school, which our board is very aware of. They know that in a small community like this that the town likes to rally around the high school, and stuff like this just gives them something more to be proud of.”

Hutchings said that the stadium work is still in its planning stages.

The first step will be to demolish the bleachers that are on the visitors’ (west) side before rebuilding that side of the field.

“There was some talk about moving the home stands to the west side so that the sun wouldn’t be in the home fans’ eyes, but we decided to keep the home and visitors’ sides the same,” he said. “We have track meets and softball games scheduled most of the spring, so that work probably won’t start until those seasons are over. But, once it starts, it should get done pretty quickly.”

Hutchings also noted that the bid is for bleachers and seating only. The press box was renovated five years ago and will remain the same, and the field itself will remain natural grass.

Dan Hutchings named new Coal City football coach

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – At the end of the 2016 season, Coal City football coach Lenny Onsen retired.

Having been a member of the first Coalers’ football team, it was going to be difficult for Coal City to find someone who embodied the tradition and values that have come to define the program as much as Onsen did.

That person might have been found.

Current athletic director Dan Hutchings, himself a former Coal City player and coach, was approved by a 6-1 vote at the March 1 board meeting to take over the head varsity football coaching position.

Hutchings will be taking over a program that has reached the IHSA playoffs 27 times in the last 30 years.

Although he hasn’t been on the sideline since the 2010-11 season, he is not going to be in unfamiliar territory.

“I was on the football staff for 15 years before I became the athletic director,” he said. “And I have been to almost every game since then, so it’s not like I am totally relearning any-

thing. I just felt, when Lenny stepped down, it was time to get back on the sideline and keep the tradition alive.”

After graduating from Coal City in 1986, Hutchings attended Eastern Illinois University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree. He began working for Coal City Unit District No. 1 in 1995 and earned his Master of Science in educational administration from Governor’s State University before becoming the Coalers’ athletic director in 2010.

He has always been a resident of Coal City, although he spent one season as the head boys basketball coach at Wilmington. As a lifetime Coaler, he knows what the community wants and expects from its football program.

“We definitely have a great tradition, going back to coach Hal Chiodo, who I played for two years, to Ken W. Miller to Lenny,” Hutchings said. “And all the great staff that has been with them. I am going to keep the same staff for the most part, and I think it should be a smooth transition. Lenny is still in the building and there is no one better to bounce things off of than him. A staff like

Dan Hutchings (right) is the new Coal City football coach. ours is what makes a program great, so I want to keep things as stable as possible.

“We’re Coal City. We are going to hang our hats on our defense, like we always have. We always have great

community support and I am looking forward to that, too. We have a great student body here and it’s going to be exciting to getting back on the field with a whistle and working with the kids.”

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In what has become an early spring tradition, the Morris Runnin’ Redskins Baseball Bash will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. March 11 at the Morris VFW Hall.

The VFW Hall is located at 309 McKinley St. in Morris.

Tickets to the event cost $25 and include entry to the bash and access to the drawdown, food, drink and silent and live auctions loaded with baseball and other sports memorabilia.

“This has always been a good fundraiser for the baseball program,” Runnin’ Redskin Baseball Booster Club

president Bob Bardash said. “The stores and their owners in Morris really come through for us as far as their donations go, and we expect they will again this year.”

In the past, the auctions have included items such as Cubs tickets, Blackhawks tickets, the use of Clayton’s Tap’s party room for a private party and Joliet Slammers tickets, among other items.

The ball park-style dining menu will include brats, hot dogs, pizza, bash potatoes, treats, refreshments and more.

The drawdown will begin at 5 p.m. and bash prizes will be given out every 25th draw, starting with $25 and finishing with a top prize of $1,200.

Bardash said that there are only 300 tickets available that include entry in the drawdown, but even people who don’t want to be in the drawdown or weren’t able to purchase a ticket can still show up at the VFW the night of the event and get in for $10. Those folks will still be eligible to partake of the food and drink and bid on any auction items, but will be ineligible for the drawdown.

The bash funds the Morris Community High School baseball boosters, which has bought new uniforms and equipment and funded improvements at the field. The field is in the midst of having new fences put up all the way around it.

Last year, a new fence behind home plate and around the batting cages was purchased.

Improvements already have been made behind home plate this year, filling in low spots and resodding the area.

“All of the funds except what goes to pay for the bash goes right back into the baseball program,” Bardash said.

“We want the kids and the program to have the best, and our community has been very helpful in that regard.”

Tickets are available from the Morris Runnin’ Redskin Baseball Boosters.

For information about the bash or to buy a ticket, call Bob Bardash at 815768-5556 or email bbardash@att.net.

Newark boys claim another sectional championship STAFF REPORTS SOMONAUK – Dylan Patrick wants the ball in his hands, especially late in games.

His Newark teammates made sure he was the recipient during the final two minutes of Friday’s Class 1A Somonauk Sectional championship, and Patrick made sure he delivered at the free-throw line to help the Norsemen hold on for a 53-47 victory over Aurora Christian.

Patrick made all nine of his freethrow attempts in a jam-packed gym with a raucous crowd and led the Norsemen with 18 points.

Patrick, a junior guard, was clutch all week at the line for Newark. He made nine of 10 free throws in the fourth quarter of the Norsemen’s sectional semifinal win.

“I told my teammates to get me the ball in the end because I’ve got this,” he said. “I’ll make the free throws. I tell them every time. That helped us pull away. What an awesome game for us.”

Newark, which won its sixth sectional championship since 2009, advances to the ISU supersectional and faced Colfax (Ridgeview) at 7 p.m.

Tuesday. The Norsemen moved a win away from their first state trip since winning the Class 1A title in 2011.

The game featured six ties and seven lead changes.

Newark (27-4) took the lead for good late in the third quarter. Will Clausel hit a jumper, and Steve McGrath

a free throw to nudge the Norsemen ahead 38-36.

“We got a little rattled when they went up by seven so coach had to calm us down and after that we felt pretty good,” Clausel said. “Dylan played really well. He couldn’t miss his free throws and really bailed us out. We’ve been through this before and Dylan really came through when we needed him.”

Aurora Christian (21-9) relied heavily on 3-pointers. While the Eagles drained eight of them compared with just two by the Norsemen, they also missed far too many of them. A hand in their face made things difficult.

“Even with someone in their face, they still made some of them. They’re just great shooters,” Newark coach Rick Tollefson said. “We’ve seen them get really hot and knock teams out.

I thought we did a nice of getting a hand in their face and contesting them though. Generally, we did that pretty well.”

The Norsemen started pulling away in the final three minutes of the game.

A nice feed inside from Clausel to Beau Brown for an easy score got things going with 2:40 left, giving Newark a 45-40 lead.

“It was a tough game, but we made some big plays,” Brown said. “With our history against Aurora Christian, we really wanted to win a big game.”

The Eagles got a pair of free throws, but Patrick countered by making four in a row over a 14-second stretch to

give the Norsemen a 49-42 lead with 1:44 left.

“Dylan made his free throws, which was huge,” Tollefson said.“I think that making our free throws and holding them to only one shot while getting the rebound was big. That was the difference in the fourth quarter for us. You have to do that in big games like this.”

Clausel added 14 points for the Norsemen, while Brown and Cameron Myre each chipped in with seven points apiece.

“Everybody did what they had to do,” Clausel said. “So many guys came up and made big shots or grabbed a rebound or made a defensive stop. It was a whole team effort.”

COLLEGE BASEBALL

JJC 3, Jefferson College 0: Morris graduate Nick Evola (2-0) led JJC (2-2) to the win, tossing a complete-game two-hitter with nine strikeouts and only one walk.

Illinois State University: Several area players have seen action for Illinois State University this season. Minooka graduate Joe Butler, a freshman, had about as good a start as possible, as he slugged a two-run homer in his first collegiate at-bat in a 9-4 loss to Austin Peay. Butler is currently hitting .154, having appeared in eight games, five of them starts.

Another Minooka grad, sophomore Tyler Paulsen, has appeared in five games, four of them starts, and is hitting .200 with a double and an RBI. An-

other Minooka graduate, junior Mitch Vogrin, has a 1-0 pitching record with a 4.10 ERA in three appearances.

In 8 2⁄ 3 innings, Vogrin has struck out 12, which is second on the team, and walked eight.

Freshman Matt Walker, a Morris graduate, has thrown three innings in three appearances and sports a 0.00 ERA. He has allowed just one hit and two walks while striking out three.

Illinois Wesleyan University: Morris graduate Tim Smyk is off to a hot start for the Titans, hitting .385 with three doubles and a home run among his five hits for a slugging percentage of .846. Smyk has five RBIs as well. Also for Wesleyan, Brian Henry, another Morris graduate, is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA. In 21⁄3 innings, he has struck out three and walked three.

Indiana University: Coal City’s Brad Littleton, a two-time Morris Herald-News Player of the Year, has pitched in one game so far for the Hoosiers this season as a true freshman.

In 1 2⁄ 3 scoreless innings, he allowed one hit, a double, struck out one and did not walk a batter.

COLLEGE SOFTBALL

DePaul University: Nicole Pihl of Seneca has started all 15 games so far this season for the Blue Demons. She is currently batting .254 and tied for the team lead in both home runs (4) and RBIs (12).

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers all stages of the Asian carp life-cycle present.

Asian carp eggs have been found in the Marseilles, Starved Rock and Peoria pools.

Illinois, along with a host of other agencies and neighboring states, has also been testing and researching other methods of containment and removal.

One of the more interesting methods I read about involved the use of carbon dioxide.

Upon further reading, I discovered that in tests conducted last year, research ponds that were injected with a stream of carbon dioxide kept the carp located at the far end of the pond.

They refused to swim in the water with the gas.

This method is being studied as a nonbarrier method of containment. In other words, it would not be a physical barrier like the electric one currently being used. More studies are being

done to test the effects on different fish species.

There is also research being done on a method called microparticle technology.

This method, as much as I understand it, deals with the fact that Asian carp are filter feeders. If methods of delivering control agents can be administered to the water that would not harm native species, than this can also be a viable method of containment.

The 2017 Action Plan is available in pdf form at www.ifishillinois.org/ invasive/2017ActionPlan.

I know that scientific journals and lengthy government reports can be a chore to read, but I found the information fascinating.

I like to know what is happening to our local water resources.

I see the commercial fishing boats constantly and I hear of people having numerous run-ins with these invasive fish.

I encourage you to take a look and keep updated on how our state government is trying to protect our natural resources.

However, the Morris defense was able to secure a couple of turnovers and keep the Indians from scoring until Kameron Dransfeldt made both ends of a double-bonus with 4.1 seconds left to put Morris ahead by five and secure the championship.

Suddenly, all those close losses were things of the past.

Streator for the second time this season in what turned out to be its home away from home, Coal City’s gym.

The Redskins had just seven home games this season and played six in Coal City.

Thus, the title game Friday night saw a Morris team with a 12-15 record take on four-win Pontiac for the regional crown.

The two teams staged a back-andforth battle, with Morris emerging as a 41-36 victor and earning the right to take Hillcrest in the semifinals of the Plano Sectional, a game that was played Wednesday.

“They can tell us to put an asterisk on this plaque if they want to, and we will,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “It will go on the back, so it will be up against the wall so no one can see it when we hang it up.”

In a season that saw Morris play too many games in which it came down the final possession and end up on the wrong end of the scoreboard, it was an emotional boost to come out ahead when it mattered most. It also marked the third regional title in the last eight years for a Redskin program that had historically not been that accustomed to postseason hardware.

“I really wanted to go out my senior year with a regional title,” said Matt Shaw, who led the Redskins with 12 points Friday night and has been the team’s unquestioned leader all season. “I love this group of guys and I was glad we were able to get it done here.”

Besides the 12 points from Shaw, Morris got 10 points from fellow senior JaQuan Boxley, all in the second half, while senior Josh Lain had five points and junior Tyler Spiezio and senior Delaney Stutzki each scored six.

It was that type of balance that Morris saw in the majority of its wins this season.

“They were playing box-and-one on me a lot of the night,” Shaw said.

“Especially in the second half. But JaQuan and Delaney came up with some big shots and Josh Lain really gave us a spark. We don’t care who scores, as long as we get to keep playing.”

In last Wednesday’s semifinal win against Streator, Morris was able to put the game away by making 11 of 12 free throws in the final minute.

The charity tosses didn’t drop Friday night, as the Redskins missed the

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER

SUDOKU

With a living will to address medical specifics, and a health care proxy to name the person in charge of making decisions, those questions are addressed and a roadmap for treatment – or for withholding treatment – is clearly laid out.

What can this type of legal document address?

Everything from a person’s wishes regarding resuscitation procedures, ventilation techniques and diagnostic tests, to life-prolonging treatments such as CPR, dialysis, blood transfusion, the administration of food, water or drugs, palliative care and surgery. Some people use their living wills to state their wishes regarding dying at home, donating their organs for transplantation or offering their bodies to science.

Individuals who decide to create a living will often begin by speaking with their families about the scope and specifics of the document they want to create.

It’s also common to consult with your physician, who can help to explain the choices you have and the decisions you are making.

A living will must be in writing and adhere to the legal requirements of the state in which it is being used. A lawyer can help you to create your living will, but it is not a requirement.

Both the American Bar Association and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization offer links to state-specific forms.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

• Thursday, March 9, 2017

Dear Doctor: Our dad insists that he doesn’t want any heroic or extraordinary measures taken if he gets really sick, and he wants one of us children to relay this message to his medical team. Should he have a living will?

Dear Reader: We’re verging into legal territory with this question, but as medicine continues to advance in its ability to prolong life, this is an important topic for each of us.

A living will refers to a class of legal document that an individual uses to specify his or her wishes for end-of-life medical care. These documents are also referred to as health care advance directives, or simply advance directives.

The idea of a living will comes up most often among the elderly, but in fact, people of all ages can use this document to state what they do and do not want to be done in the instance of a medical emergency. If the time comes that a person is unable to make medical decisions on his own behalf, then the living will speaks for him.

While your dad is correct that you or your siblings can communicate his wishes to his care team, this can place a significant burden on the family. Despite knowing a loved one’s wishes, making decisions with life-or-death consequences is not only a challenge, but can also be emotionally wrenching.

A living will often includes a health care proxy or power of attorney. This allows you to name the person who will communicate your wishes if you should become unable to do so yourself. It’s understandably easy for family members to become overwhelmed in the midst of a medical crisis, and to agree to medical procedures or lifesaving measures that the patient would not have wanted.
