It’s here!

Well, spring will be here in less than a week.

I wish I could say I love all seasons equally, but, deep down, spring is my favorite because it reminds me that new life is here.

Whether you are spiritual and the thought of Jesus Christ coming back to life, or if you are a nature lover enjoying the new spring flowers popping up everywhere, or if you are a farmer waiting, itching to get in that tiller or planter and get this year’s crops in the ground and growing, spring is a magical time of year.

We celebrate spring break from school, we chase after eggs left by bunnies (we need to discuss this with science teachers, by the way), we attend church for our annual guilt visit, and we celebrate moms.

See? Spring is a great time of year.

But there’s something missing, actually several things.

My children, who are age 16 to 28, have never needed to wear a windbreaker, nor do I think they know what one was. I loved my brand-new shiny pink windbreaker come spring.

Having an early March birthday meant that was a guaranteed present.

If it wasn’t pink satin, it was something more practical, like a simple blue one and the hood rolled up into the collar area and could be zipped away.

It’s as if kids don’t need wind-

Heidi Litchfield breakers today. They go straight from winter coat to no coat.

I wonder if they know what they are missing, seriously? A bright pink satin jacket, what could be cooler than that?

I’ve also missed the site of kites.

I see a few displays in the stores, one or two here or there in the sky, but spring used to mean kite season.

They were everywhere in every size shape and creature. I always got a girly one in my Easter basket, but if I’m honest, I wanted a big bad dragon one. We spent hours getting them up in the air, watching them nose bomb into the yard. My memory says it was a lot of fun, but my kids look at me like I’m crazy.

Of course, this was a time when kids went out and played all day because who wanted to be cooped up in the house?

I can’t run well anymore, but I think I may buy a kite and see if I can get it up in the air, just for the fun of it. Spring also meant long bike rides with my mother to hunt for wildflowers.

There were plants she called by names I’ve since found out weren’t ac-

curate but they were to her; she’d had a love of wildflowers since she was a child on the farm, one she passed on to me.

We picked Sweet Williams, Bloody Noses, Bluebells, Jack in the Pulpit, Jacobs ladder, and violets to name a few.

I went out into the wooded area last year where she and I always picked them. Some were still there, many were not.

I did bring home two bouquets of what she called Sweet Williams, one for my house, the other for her headstone. They make the whole house smell fresh until the lilacs started blooming, which she was smart enough to plant outside the windows so we could smell them everywhere when we opened the windows. For those who are wondering what they are, they are blue phlox.

I’m not sure where her name for them came from.

So spring is almost here, robins have been spotted since February.

Farmers may get in the ground a bit sooner, but there still won’t be a group of girls gossiping in their pink satin jackets at the middle school.

Welcome back, spring, I’ve missed you!

VIEWS

The Morris Community High School board approved a three-year collective bargaining agreement with the teachers’ union on Monday night, Superintendent Pat Halloran said.

The bargaining agreement will last from 2017 to 2020 and will have an increase each year. The first year will see a 3.6 percent raise, the second and third years will both see a 3.25 percent raise for teachers.

“The base salary for a starting teacher currently is $37,800. This will take that to $38,150 the first year and an additional

$375 in Year 2 and 3,” Halloran said.

He said there will be no additional cost from the teachers union members for insurance with the agreement. The district also approved Lori Dite’s position change from dean of special populations to director of special populations.

“When we pulled out of the special education co-op by hiring our own teachers, it only made sense to hire our own director,” Halloran said. “Lori started as dean and has now completed the necessary qualifications to become director and is part of the administrative team.”

The board also approved the re-employment of Assistant Principal Jeremiah Farrell for the 2017-18 school year.

In other business, the board accepted donations to buy wireless microphones from Matthew Granger with Guardian Music Travel in the amount of $1000 as well as $3,200 from MCHS Music Boosters, $600 from the choir department, $1,500 from the musical, which was added to $1,300 from the district.

The microphones previously had to be rented. Halloran said some years, the rental alone was around $2,000.

He said the full set cost is around $15,000, which had been put on the capital improvements for the board.

“They allowed us to pay what we have this year with the remainder being due next year,” he said.

Late District 54 teacher will be memorialized with bench at White Oak

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent Only an additional 122 pounds of plastic caps and lids are needed in order for the Shabbona Honors Society to exchange the materials for a recycled plastic bench to be placed on the White Oak Elementary School grounds in honor of math teacher Jan Wendling, who died in June 2016.

Community Consolidated School District 54 Superintendent Shannon Dudek said the school planned on doing something for a memorial, and when teacher Denise Bach came in with the idea of a bench, the idea came to the forefront.

“I think this is such a great idea.

We want to support it in any way that we can. The students and teachers all loved Mrs. Wendling, and she loved the outdoors so much, so I think the bench is a great idea,” Dudek said.

In February, Bach, the honors society sponsor and teacher, brought this idea to her honors society group of eighth-grade students.

They all agreed it would be a good community service project as well as an honor to one of their favorite teachers.

“I had Mrs. Wendling for math last year, and she was also my neighbor. I think this is a great thing because she meant so much to everybody, and this is the least we can do to show that we remember her,” honors society member Lainy Button said.

Bach said she was first introduced to the ABC Promise Partnership program from Green Tree Plastics of Indiana when she visited family. They had talked about an organization that collected plastic caps in exchange for a bench made out of the recycled products.

“Everybody can enjoy it – staff, students and the community. It’s also a

good recycling project for the kids,” Bach said.

In February, Bach sent a newsletter home to all of the students at White Oak Elementary, which includes Shabbona Middle School, to explain the program and specifics of what types of plastic lids are needed. She even created a contest between the bottom and top floor of the school to see who could bring in the most lids.

On Feb. 22, the first batch of lids was counted after school by honors society members and a couple of younger third-grade students. Bag after bag was opened, and one by one each lid was counted, written down and added to the totals.

Bach said the group needs 500 pounds of plastic lids for the bench.

Once that number is reached, the lids

are then exchanged for the bench, and the students get to choose the color and style.

“I collected and counted today. This whole thing is really cool because it’s not just [teachers] deciding, they are letting the students decide. It’s amazing to be a part of this,” honors society member Taylor Breyman said.

As of March 13, Bach said the group has collected 378 pounds of the 500 needed, and the team has counted more than 90,000 caps themselves, which does not include others donated by Morris Community High School and Joliet schools, that didn’t need to be counted, just weighed because they are not a part of the contest between the White Oak and Shabbona students.

The 8-foot bench with a back has a charge of $275 for the company to as-

semble, which Bach said the district would help with, and if there was time, the kids could come up with a fundraiser to offset the remainder of the costs.

After the bench reaches the school, Bach said Wendling’s sons, Kevin and Ryan, have offered some of their mother’s flowers to plant around the bench.

“Jan would have given you the shirt off of her back. She was the kind of person who would do anything for anyone if she had the ability to do it. I try to model myself after that, that in itself is a lesson to be there for people,” Bach said. “Jan loved most being outside and in nature, so what better of a way to honor her?”

As honor society member Brad Kincade counted plastic lids, he said, “We are not doing this as a grief of her death, but a celebration of her life.”

The Channahon Junior High School Student Council spent a day last week with Channahon village staff and elected officials during Student Government Day.

GRACING THE DAIS Channahon students learn from Student Government Day

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent Some new faces graced the dais at the last Channahon Village Board meeting.

It was Student Government Day, and Student Council members from Channahon Junior High School led the meeting, calling roll, introducing proclamations and even voting on one.

“It went great,” said Laney McMillin, one of the Student Council ambassadors. “It was fun because we had the choice to say what we were thinking.”

McMillin spent the morning shadowing the village’s engineering project manager, Don Kinzler.

“I learned how to rate roads for their condition,” she told the rest of the board and the audience at the

village board meeting.

This is the second year for the event, brainstormed by Village President Missey Moorman Schum-

acher and Channahon School District 17 Superintendent Nick Henkle to teach students about local government.

It’s a hands-on learning experience you can’t duplicate in the classroom, Schumacher said.

The students began their morning on Casimir Pulaski Day at the village hall, shadowing village leaders. Student Council President Dylan Meyer got to shadow Schumacher.

“It would actually be really cool,” Meyer said of being mayor.

“You could have a decision about what’s happening in the community.”

He said he thought it was a great idea for the student council, the elected leaders of his school, to get to see behind the scenes of village government.

“We learn what they go through,” he said, “and maybe it will influence what we want to do when we get older.”

Student Council Ambassador Hannah Karczewski shadowed Police Chief Jeff Wold.

One of the first things the two did together was to go through police activity from the day before.

There were traffic stops and citations, a lost animal, a citizen assist, an ambulance assist, a burglary investigation on West Andrews Avenue and suspicious autos and persons reports.

The students also sat in on staff’s weekly Monday morning meeting and took a tour of the facilities.

Duffy delivers State of the Village address Leader says economic development is ‘strong’

By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Stepping in for Mayor Pat Brennan, who was out ill, Minooka Administrative Director Dan Duffy shared the village’s highlights of 2016 at the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s Minooka State of the Village address Wednesday in the village community room.

Duffy started off by saying that under Brennan’s leadership, with hardworking employees and trustees and new investments made in Minooka, “I can honestly say the state of the village is very strong.”

One of the biggest accomplishments in the past year was securing funds for the McEvilly Road Bike Path so work can begin this year on the project that’s been 10 years in the making.

The village obtained an addition-

al $800,000 in federal grant money in December with the help of the Will County Governmental League.

Assistance also came from Grundy and Will counties to push forward with the project.

An 85-room, extended-stay Marriott hotel was approved by the village for Minooka BBR developers, who also brought the Hampton Inn the previous year.

The new facility represents a $14 million investment in the village along with employment of local tradesmen and permanent jobs for residents.

The first phase of a 32-acre restricted development began with Heritage Woods of Minooka building an assisted-living facility, the first of its kind in Minooka. The $18 million investment will produce 54 new jobs in the health care industry, Duffy said.

The Heritage Woods group has applied to the Illinois Department of Housing to build a memory-loss facility adjacent to the assisted-living facility.

ner of Interstate 80 and Ridge Road, which will be its Chicago-area resale site for fleet trucks.

This represents a $10 million investment in Minooka that will bring jobs to the community.

Other projects approved in 2016 are for Liberty Property Trust, with a 52-acre development for a possible expansion of Grainger; Molto Properties, which recently bought the Rockefeller site for a build-to-suit facility; OPUS, which has begun to fulfill its annexation agreement terms to install water and sewer operations along Holt Road; and AirLiqui, formerly Airgas, which opened its $40 million facility in October.

“The projects I mentioned have roughly an estimated investment [value] in the village of over $90 million,” Duffy said. “That’s what I call economic development.”

Minooka’s building department granted 389 building permits, 40 of which were new home builds, keeping up Minooka’s four-year running average of 30 to 40 homes built each year.

Of those permits, three were granted for church projects, including the

new Village Christian Church on Bell Road, the expansion of Minooka Bible Church and the new parish center for St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

On the financial side, the village saved $353,150 by refunding 2008 series bonds during 2016.

As of the end of fiscal 2016, Minooka had about seven months of reserves on hand, which is above auditor standards, giving the village a strong bond rating of AA-.

At the end of 2016, Minooka had $3.3 million in unencumbered funds in the general fund, and the village anticipates ending fiscal 2017 with a $120,000 to $130,000 surplus.

Public works replaced 8,500 square feet of sidewalks, replanted 114 parkway trees, completed the first assessment of the wastewater collection system and completed repairs to the village’s infrastructure.

Duffy highlighted accomplishments of the police department, including fundraising events for Special Olympics and food drive collections for local pantries, as well as

public education and crime prevention instruction for the entire community, from students to seniors.

He also recognized several police officers for life-saving incidents that didn’t make the headlines but he said deserved recognition.

While other communities were stagnant during the recession, Minooka was building homes, Duffy said.

The village renegotiated annexation agreements with developers to spur economic growth and investment in the community.

Minooka encouraged new and existing businesses to invest with

Protect your teeth with a mouth guard SPONSORED BY

It’s also a good time to think about your teeth.

A sudden bump, a fall, a trip, a loose or badly thrown ball ‌ and suddenly one of your upper teeth is loose. Or worse.

Removable mouth guards are designed to help prevent that, as well as protect another dental device you may have been prescribed, or damage from nightly teeth grinding while you sleep. “It helps to protect the teeth from any sort of trauma during a sporting event or activity, especially the front teeth,� said Dr. Eric Salud, lead dentist at Complete Comfort Dental in Channahon.

Either way, they may or may not offer much protection and probably won’t fit as well as you’d like, but are inexpensive.

The best way to protect yourself is with a removable mouth guard that has been formed and fitted by your dentist.

First, an impression is made of your teeth to make a model. A mouth guard is then molded over the model using a special material. The material, extra time and lab work involved mean they are costlier, but Dr. Salud said a custom mouth guard still typically cost under $100.

However, it will provide the most comfort and protection.

Mouth guards typically are made for the more vulnerable upper teeth, but can be made for the lower teeth as well.

Looking back on 30-plus years of dentistry

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris dentist Dr. Keith Jaeschke retired Feb. 10, although he still occasionally helps out at Matthew P. Bell and Associates General Dentistry, where he practiced.

During those four decades, Jaeschke saw dentistry evolve. He recently discussed some of those changes and how they affect people today.

HIV and hepatitis C

Jaeschke said in those early days, dentists practiced “wet-fingered,” meaning no gloves and no masks.

“It was 1978 and AIDS had not become a concern in dentistry,” Jaeschke said. “We were not, at that point, using gloves, and, of course, AIDS changed that situation. But you had a much bigger chance of having hepatitis being transmitted during medical or dental procedures or oral surgery, and you had more documented cases of it being transmitted.”

Still, hepatitis C didn’t carry the same concern or the same emotional impact AIDS did, even though

Oral health and overall health

Periodontal disease

It’s still a huge problem, Jaeschke said, and it’s more than tooth loss.

Periodontal disease also affects the tissues and the underlying bone that support the teeth. Periodontal disease can even affect people who don’t get cavities.

Pros and cons of retirement

The pros, of course, are spending more time with family and traveling.

The cons are missing patients who have become like family, especially those who remained patients for 38 years, Jaeschke said.

From time to time over the years, Jaeschke used his skills simply to help patients in need and would then “forget to send them a bill.� But he wasn’t alone in generosity.

He recalled a family who recently offered to pay for dentures for a woman who, one by one, had lost her teeth and had forgotten how to smile. When she received her dentures, she nearly cried, Jaeschke said.

But he felt most gratified when she returned the next day. “She told me, ‘My mouth is so sore from smiling. I think I smiled in my sleep,’� Jaeschke said. “That made my day.�

Who’d have thought a refreshing slice of lemon in a glass of water can hurt one’s teeth?

Occasionally no, but if it’s a longstanding habit, the citric acid in the lemon can erode tooth enamel, Jaeschke said.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease can do the same, especially on the back teeth. People with bulimia show “wear and tear of the enamel on the inside of the teeth.�

Certain types of medications can have side effects on teeth, too, Jaeschke said.

Conversely, the inflammation caused by periodontal disease can contribute to heart disease, Jaeschke said. “The health of your mouth is definitely a gateway to the rest of your body,� Jaeschke said.

children and adults to remove plaque, which gradually builds up on teeth into tartar, he said.

Even “brushing and flossing five times a day� won’t remove it.

“People will say, ‘I had perfect teeth, no cavities, and they all fell out,’� Jaeschke said. “The bacteria that causes cavities is different from the bacteria that causes periodontal disease.�

Regular teeth cleaning, at home and by a dentist, helps to prevent periodontal disease by removing tartar, he said. When tartar builds up, gums become inflamed and then infected. “Every human body is different,�

Jaeschke said. “The smallest amount on some people can create tissue problems. Other people can take a lot more.�

For our ancestors, March gave evidence of the coming spring

By ROGER MATILE Kendall County Record Newspapers columnist For our pioneer ancestors, March finally offered the first real evidence of spring on the prairie.

As the days slowly lengthened, the additional daylight was welcomed after our Native American and white pioneer forebears managed to get through the deep winter months of January and, especially, February.

While snow was still frequent, the amounts were far less (at least in general; the occasional March blizzard still blew up out of the northwest) than in the preceding two months, and what snow did fall tended to melt much faster than it did weeks before.

Some Native American traditions named March’s full moon the Worm Moon. Others called it the Crow Moon, while others referred to it as the Sugar Moon. Each of those names is descriptive of an important part of Native American life.

The Worm Moon refers to those longer days and sun-thawed ground, with the occasional warm night that

• SPRING MARCH

According to one expert, two pounds of maple sugar a day is sufficient to feed a mature adult. But, clearly, the bit of dietary variety provided by fish and other game the hunters brought in was undoubtedly welcomed.

We don’t do much maple sugaring around these parts anymore, but at one time it was not uncommon – thus the name given to Sugar Grove in honor of the sugar maples that made up many of the trees there when the settlers arrived.

As late as March 1893, Kendall County Record Editor John Marshall noted, “Pure maple syrup from the old Long Gove sugar camp is not bad eating with good warm biscuits or hotcakes.�

Nowadays, we buy our maple syrup at the grocery store or at specialty shops while on vacation, and we don’t have to wait until March to enjoy it, either.

But the nightcrawlers still wriggle out of the ground on a warm, damp March night, and raucous murders of crows still gather to feed on the unfortunates who did not survive another northern Illinois winter as the nights grow a little bit shorter and a little bit warmer under the full March moon.

women in the party tapped some 700 trees in order to gather around 13,700 gallons of maple sap, which collected from the taps in birch bark buckets.

When the buckets were full of sap, they were taken to the sugaring camp, where they were dumped into large tanks assembled from animal hides.

The sap was dipped out of the holding tanks and poured into the 12 iron and brass kettles ranging from 12 to 20 gallons in size the group used.

Fires were kept burning under all 12 kettles around the clock, and during a month’s time, 1,900 pounds of maple sugar and 36 gallons of maple syrup were produced.

As you might guess, the process was pretty labor and materials intensive. It takes about a cord of wood – a stack measuring 4 feet wide by 4 feet high by 8 feet long – to produce around nine gallons of syrup in a modern sugaring operation, suggesting it would have taken at least 30 cords of wood to boil enough sap down into the 1,900 pounds of sugar and 36 gallons of syrup like the Native American family group.

Not everyone was kept busy tending fires and collecting sap, of course.

Some of the men were detailed to hunt and fish to feed the group while they worked. And according to the account we have of the process, the group also ate 300 pounds of maple sugar while they worked.

Channahon named sixth safest Illinois city It’s good to know the place you call home is a safe place to be. Channahon recently was rated as the sixth safest city in Illinois by the National Council for Home Safety and Security.

While being a safe city takes good police officers, it also takes a good community that works with its police department to make sure neighborhoods are safe and to be the eyes and ears for the police when they are not present.

There are different organizations that rate cities for their safety, Channahon Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher said, and each has a slightly different rating system.

But for the most part, statistics on crime are taken from the FBI Uniform Crime report. All Illinois municipalities report their crimes in the same manner through the Uniform Crime Reporting system, Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold said.

Wold moved to Channahon 30 years ago and has been with the Channahon Police Department for 22 years. In that time, the community and the police department have developed a good relationship and work to make the town a safe place to live, work and visit.

“As a Channahon resident and

VIEWS Kris Stadalsky member of the Channahon Police Department, I am proud that Channahon is rated one of the safest cities in Illinois,” Wold said. “I wish I could say the credit goes to the police department, but in reality the credit goes to the citizens of Channahon for being proactive. They are locking their homes and cars more than in the past, and frequently reporting suspicious circumstances before it rises to the level of criminal activity.”

Moorman Schumacher agrees.

She believes the rating is a testament to community policing under police chiefs going back for years.

On the flip side, when something is going on, Channahon police are very professional and well-trained, she said.

“I will fight for money in the budget to get them trained,” Moorman Schumacher said. “Those things are paramount as far as I am concerned.”

Channahon police officers can be found out and about in the communi-

ty getting to know everyone from age 8 (and younger) to 80.

Officers read to kids recently at Galloway Elementary School’s reading night, Moorman Schumacher said. The village’s National Night Out keeps growing every year.

“It matters more with the kids,” she said. “If they grow up knowing [the officers], when they need help they will be more apt to ask.”

Channahon community outreach programs include Cadets, Citizens Po-

lice Academy, peer jury and a school resource officer to keep residents in touch regularly with the officers.

“It is important to maintain a good relationship between the police department and the community members,” Wold said. “It really opens up the lines of communication.”

Here are answers to frequently asked questions provided by these local businesses.

Optometrist

Q: How can

Laser Treatment help my toenail fungus?

Q: I have glaucoma and put drops in my

eyes to keep the pressure down. I know that you can have surgery for glaucoma too. Is one better than the other?

If you have a question for one of these businesses call 815-942-3221 or mail your question to Expert at the Morris Herald-News 1802 N. Division St., Suite 314, Morris, Il. 60450. All ads are paid advertisements.

Jeffrey J. Blanco, O.D.

A: Researchers in the Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment

Study, published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology, April 2009, randomly assigned 348 people to either surgery or eye drops for open angle glaucoma, which is the most common type of glaucoma.

Five years later, 87% of the eyes had no change in the appearance of the optic nerve, 6% were judged worse, and 7% showed improvement.

When comparing the surgery group to the eye drop group, surgery was not significantly better at preventing loss of vision function.

This study shows that both surgery and medication (eye drops) are effective for protecting visual function. Deciding between the two treatments requires discussing all the risks and benefits of each treatment with your eye doctor. However, the vast majority of doctors will first treat glaucoma with drops and if that will not control the pressure, surgery is then pursued.

Please mail any questions about eye problems or vision loss to: Dr. Blanco - Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry Morris Business and Technology Center, 1802 N. Division St., Suite 205, Morris, Illinois 60450 • 815-942-3042

cians found a single bullet casing in the vicinity of each victim, he said.

A single bullet injured both of Anjum Coffland’s legs, he said.

“The weapons are still part of our investigation … to determine where the weapons came from. He did have a valid FOID card,” Kintz said, referring to the firearm owners identification card that gun owners are required to have.

“We have no indication of a struggle, other than the violence of the crime with gunshots,” Kintz said.

“As far as I know, there was nothing strewn about to show there was a fight. The coroner will have to take a look at that on Monday.”

One daughter was found on a couch and the other in a bedroom, he said.

Police spoke to the mother at the hospital, but Kintz said he did not know the content of those conversations.

Kintz also could not say why Anjum Coffland was at her husband’s residence that day.

“We have to figure out what brought her back to the apartment,” Kintz said.

Police do not know what, if anything, triggered the chain of events, and investigators plan to talk to friends and others who knew the family, Kintz said.

“We don’t have anything at this point,” Kintz said. “That is part of the follow-up – we have to talk to people and determine what led to this. …

This was a tragic and horrific event.

Three lives were lost, and another was injured. First responders have also had to deal with the aftermath of this event, and our entire community mourns the loss of the victims.”

Kintz said that although the shootings still are under investigation by both his department and the Kane County Major Crimes Task Force, the official causes of death will be determined by the coroner.

Investigators also are in consultation with the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office, Kintz said.

Randall Coffland did not have any previous history of domestic violence, Kintz said.

Police were called to the Fifth Avenue address about a month ago for domestic trouble, but there were no charges, Kintz said.

ST. CHARLES – Randall Coffland told a 911 dispatcher Friday that he shot his daughters to death, that he shot his wife, and he was going to shoot himself.

“I just shot and killed my children,” Randall Coffland is heard saying on a 911 recording. “And I shot my wife. And I’m going to shoot myself. … I’m going to kill myself now, too.”

At a news conference Sunday, St. Charles Deputy Chief David Kintz released the 911 tapes in addition to chilling details about the deaths of 16-year-old twins Brittany S. Coffland and Tiffany S. Coffland at the hands of their father.

Even as Randall Coffland was telling the 911 dispatcher what he had done, his wife, Anjum Coffland, 46, can be heard screaming to another emergency dispatcher that her husband had killed her girls and shot her in the legs.

“Oh my God, my husband shot my kids!” Anjum Coffland said to the 911 operator. “My daughters are dead! …

I’m going into shock. I’ve lost a lot of

blood. … He’s finally lost it.”

Randall Coffland, 48, and his daughters all were found with single gunshot wounds to their heads in a condominium at 450 S. First St., St. Charles, where he lived with the girls, Kintz said.

His wife was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition Sunday, Kintz said.

The girls would have celebrated their 17th birthdays Tuesday, Kintz said.

Randall Coffland and the twins were living at the South First Street address, while Anjum Coffland was living separately from her husband in another condominium on South Fifth Avenue in St. Charles. Kintz said he did not know how long they had been living apart.

Two 9 mm handguns were recovered in the condo, but Kintz said police have not yet confirmed that they were owned by Randall Coffland, or which weapon – or whether both – were used in the shootings.

One gun was in the vicinity of Randall Coffland; the other was found in a closet, Kintz said. Evidence techni-

Channahon board hosts student council, ends annual raises for trustees

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – Monday’s Channahon Village Board meeting was led

by Channahon Junior High School Student Council ambassadors in the second annual Channahon Student Government Day observance.

Student Council President Dylan Meyer stepped into Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher’s role, calling the meeting to order, introducing measures, calling for the role to be taken and even issuing a proclamation – a resolution to recognize and support Job Shadowing Day at the village of Channahon, which was approved unanimously by the ambassadors and village board members.

“Your vote is now part of our permanent records forever and ever,” Schumacher said.

Approved by the “official” board members at the meeting was an ordinance that will terminate annual raises for elected village officials.

Currently, elected officials receive 5 percent raises each year and have since 2005.

According to Finance Director Heather Wagonblott at a previous meeting, over the past 12 years elected officials’ annual meetings reimbursements have increased by a total of $32,221, from $45,360 to $77,581 per year.

The board unanimously approved terminating the annual increases and setting compensations of $250 to each trustee and the village president for each regular, special and committee meeting attended, plus an additional $250 for office hours at Village Hall on an average of two hours per week. The village clerk currently receives $108 per meeting.

The changes will take effect in 2021, as, according to Village Administrator Tom Durkin, compensation of elected officials cannot be increased or reduced during their terms of office.

The board also gave the nod for the police department to put together a program to establish fees for

overweight truck permits. Police Chief Jeff Wold said that the village currently requires permits for overweight trucks, but charges no fees.

The number of permits has risen considerably over the past year, Wold said, and many surrounding communities charge fees for the permits that range from $30 to $70. If Channahon were to charge $50 per permit, Wold said, the village would have received $14,050 in 2016.

Also Monday, the board gave the go-ahead for Community Development Director Mike Petrick to begin a Beautification Plan, which would include ideas to enhance the appearance of the village, including that of

the Central Corridor, which includes older sections of town between the I&M Canal and Central Park.

Up for consideration would be decorative benches, litter receptacles, information pillars, identifying monuments and streetlight decoration.

Facades for businesses could also be considered, Petrick said, as could grants that would allow homeowners to spruce up the exteriors of their houses.

The board also will hold a special budget workshop meeting 8:30 a.m.

Saturday at the Village Hall, 24555 S. Navajo Drive, which is open to the public.

Crystal Lake police investigate child porn allegations against Huntley church pastors

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Police are investigating a Crystal Lake couple who run a church in Huntley after a Verizon employee reported finding hundreds of images of child pornography on the pastor’s cellphone.

The Crystal Lake Police department seized cellphones, tablets, CDs, hundreds of VHS tapes and other computer equipment from Stephen and Mary Foster’s home, at 1739 Village Court, Crystal Lake, on Feb. 16. They also seized four vials of what is believed to be human growth hormone and two hypodermic needles, according to court records obtained by the Northwest Herald.

Crystal Lake Police, the Illinois State Police, Kane County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI’s Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory also raided Morning Star Church World Outreach Center, at 41W350 and 41W390 Powers Road, Huntley, the same day. Investigators took computers, external hard drives, a digital camera and other equipment. The

Stephen and Mary Foster are the church’s senior pastors and apostolic founders. Stephen Foster got ministerial training from Rhema Bible Training Center, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where he graduated in 1983, according to the website.

Police started investigating the couple after a Lake in the Hills Verizon Wireless store employee reported seeing child pornography on July 11, 2016, on a device brought in by a female customer who said the device belonged to her employer, who was later identified as Stephen Foster. The woman was looking to transfer information from one phone to another, according to an affidavit inImage by Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com cluded in court records.

the phone number on the internet and found it was associated with a church in Huntley, according to the affidavit.

He offered to show the woman everything that was transferred, which included at least one gallery with photos of “very young, under 10 years old, boys and girls dressed in only underwear.”

He also said there were about 200 to 300 images of naked boys. The Verizon employee estimated the age of the boys to be between 4 and 10 years old, according to the employee’s affidavit.

The woman said the phone was her employer’s, not hers, and she “seemed to know what was on the phone,” according to the affidavit. The employee also said that he recognized the woman as having been into the store for similar service “several times” before this incident, including September 2016, but he was not the employee who assisted her.

“I was disgusted by the content, and I contemplated seizing the phone, going into the back room, and contacting police immediately, which would have been against Verizon’s policy and would have jeopardized my employment. I, instead, notified my supervisor to make a report,” the affidavit stated.

The Verizon Wireless employee met with police on Jan. 23 and gave a written statement about his observations.

Crystal Lake Police also showed him a photo lineup on Feb. 3, and he was able to identify the woman he recognized as the customer with whom he interacted.

Police also spoke with a Verizon Wireless supervisor and two other Verizon employees who interacted with either the woman or Stephen Foster.

The supervisor said while she did not see the child pornography, because she did not go through the phone, she said the first employee who interacted with the female customer was “internally disgusted.” The manager told police she recognized the woman who brought in the phone and said she had previously

Police spoke with a second Verizon employee Jan. 18. That employee said in April 2016 that he was working at the Lake in the Hills store when a man he understood to be a pastor or a priest came in with his phone. The employee described him as “possibly wearing a wig” and said it looked like “the pastor worked out.” The employee also said the pastor said he ran a church.

The second employee also interacted with the female customer on more than one occasion, and he said the first time they interacted she asked him to transfer data and he saw a photo gallery that included at least 20 images of nude males from teenagers to 30 years old.

The same female customer also came in another time complaining that the phone battery was dying too quickly.

The employee told her that a common issue related to battery life is if the phone’s

web browser has too many tabs open at once. When the employee went into the phone’s browser he saw there were between 60 and 80 browser tabs open, and from what the employee saw, they were all open on “pornography sites.”

A third employee, who also spoke with police in January, said he never saw child pornography on any phones related to the case but saw “other stuff.”

He said he interacted with the customers related to the case about six months before the first employee did, according to the affidavit.

He said Stephen Foster only came into the store once or twice, to his knowledge. When he came into the store he arrived in a black Cadillac DTS. He once talked about his church and his workout routine, according to the affidavit.

Police were able to confirm that a black 2006 Cadillac DTS was registered to Morning Star Church and Stephen A. Foster, and they found it in the driveway

of the couple’s Crystal Lake residence on Feb. 13, according to the affidavit.

During one of the visits to the Verizon store, a female assistant working for Stephen Foster was “adamant” about text messages being transferred over from one phone to another. The third employee came to the Crystal Lake Police Department on Jan. 23 and identified Stephen Foster as the pastor he had seen in the store and the owner of the phone.

No charges have been filed as of Friday evening, and members of the Crystal Lake Police Department and McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.

Phone calls to Stephen Foster’s cellphone, as well as messages to the church’s website and Facebook page were not returned as of Friday evening.

No one answered the door Friday at the Fosters’ Crystal Lake residence.

Shorewood mayor optimistic in State of the Village

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent The Village of Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman said the village was thriving at the annual State of the Village Address on Tuesday, which was held at the Troy Township Community Center in Shorewood.

The event, which was sponsored by the Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce, included a lunch and address by Chapman. He touched on five main key points, such as business activity, TIF district, capital improvement projects, Lake Michigan water and the financial outlook for the village.

Chapman said that in the past year, the village has welcomed 33 new businesses and 100 new homes have been built and hopes to keep the building going with low impact fees.

“In a town of this size, that tells you a

lot,” Chapman said. “That tells you that people want to be here. Not only do they want to live here, but they want to do business here.”

He said there are five new businesses to look forward to in the upcoming year, including Which Wich, UPS, Meadowlark Builders and M/I Homes. The big business coming in, Chapman said is the new La Quinta Inn and Suites, which will go near the intersection of I-55 and Route 52 near Ron Tirapelli Ford. Chapman then went on to explain the much talked about the Route 59/ 52 TIF (tax increment financing) district that was established and approved by the board of trustees last month.

“On the date that we created it, the property tax in those areas that goes to each government entity freezes at that number,” Chapman said. “Now there is a fund set up that the village controls, that when the EAV (equalized assessed val-

uation) within that district, those extra tax dollars that come off of those properties go into this pool.”

With those funds, developer and builders can receive assistance from the village, as well as the village can come up with redevelopment plans to improve the village in the TIF areas.

Next, Chapman highlighted the major capital improvement projects. First was the addition of Wynstone Park to be finished in fall 2017. The park will include a splash pad, pavilion, playground, fitness stations, walking path and field with baseball backstop.

Next was a reconfiguration to align the intersection of Wynstone Drive and Route 52, and a designated left turn lane from the west will be added to Route 52 and a right-hand turn lane will be added to Route 52 from the east.

Additionally, more lanes will be added on Route 52 at the corner of River Road

and Route 52, with designated right-turn lanes north and south on River Road.

Chapman said the additional lanes on 52 will pinch down again as drivers go into the older part of Route 52, but will be addressed in the future. The section of asphalt on Black Road from River Road to I-55 will be repaved this year, with exception to the intersection of Route 59 and Black Road which is already concrete.

Chapman gave a forward mention of a $600 million project by developer Cullinan Properties Ltd., on the corner of I-80 and I-55, which would include roadwork at the I-55 and Routes 52 and Route 52 and Route 59 interchanges to be looked over, engineered and improved.

Lastly, Chapman briefly went over the budget. The 2017 budget was balanced with revenues and expenses of $11,981, 857, and the 2018 budget was balanced with revenues and expenses of $12,305,405.

GUEST VIEW Trudy Lieberman and older can receive a $4,000 credit.

The credit phases out for individuals with incomes of $75,000 and for families filing joint returns with income of $150,000. Each family member can receive a credit, but a maximum of five people in one family can get a credit of up to $14,000. Credits don’t take into account regional differences in medical costs. A credit for a family living in a low-cost area in the Midwest would be the same for a family living in high-cost city like Los Angeles.

Credits also may not be worth as much to older people even though their dollar amount may be greater.

Why? Currently insurers can charge an older person three times more than a younger person for the same policy.

Under Trumpcare, they can charge five times more.

An analysis just released by the consulting firm Oliver Wyman found that Republican tax credits would have a major impact in rural areas where insurance premiums now are often higher and people are older and poorer. A larger proportion of people may do worse. Jeanne Lambrew, a senior fellow at The Century Foundation, says large premium increases could also cause a disproportionate number of healthy rural Americans

Exelon Generating Station Unit 2 returned to service SUBMITTED REPORT Operators returned LaSalle County Generating Station Unit 2 to service this week after a scheduled refueling outage that began Feb. 6. The unit was reconnected to the power grid on Thursday at 3:35 p.m. and reached full power Friday night.

During the outage, workers performed more than 15,000 detailed inspections, maintenance activities and equipment upgrades.

By replacing and updating equipment on an ongoing basis, it ensures the plant uses the most up-to-date technology. In addition, about one-third of the nuclear fuel was replaced during the outage.

“LaSalle Unit 2 is back online and ready for another safe and reliable

two-year operating cycle,” site Vice President Bill Trafton said. “Our employees and highly skilled contractors performed equipment maintenance and plant upgrades during the outage that will pay dividends for years to come. Many of the supplemental workers will stay in the area to support other refueling outages, providing a sustained economic boost to the regional economy.”

More than 2,000 temporary skilled workers from local union halls and approximately 300 technical experts from other Exelon Generation facilities supported LaSalle Station’s 800 employees during the refueling outage.

The additional workers generate a significant economic impact for area hotels, restaurants and other retail businesses.

to drop coverage potentially causing insurance markets in rural areas to unravel.

Will coverage for pre-existing conditions continue? Proposals still require insurers to cover people, no matter how sick they are. But if people let their insurance lapse for 63 days, they will have to pay a 30 percent penalty when they buy a new policy.

Will I have more choice of more insurers? Today consumers in one-third of all U.S. counties have a choice of only one Obamacare insurer, and if they want to use their tax credits, they must buy from the sole insurer.

Under GOP plans, people may have more choice because they can use their tax credits to buy any policy an insurer wants to sell, but they can’t use them to buy abortion coverage.

Under Obamacare, the value of the plans is standardized; for example, all silver plans must cover 70 percent of someone’s costs. But such standardization would disappear under the new law, making it difficult to shop.

Will I have to pay for benefits I don’t need? The ACA calls for an essential benefit package so insurers could not exclude services such as mental health treatment and maternity care. For now, the GOP plan continues the essential benefits, but that could change.

What about rising premiums and higher cost sharing? Premiums, deductibles and other cost sharing

will continue to rise because medical inflation continues to rise.

Neither Obamacare nor Republican proposals include serious provisions for containing costs. Although limits on out-of-pocket spending would continue, those limits increase each year, causing families to pay higher and higher amounts out of pocket.

Will anyone lose coverage?

Those who gained coverage under Medicaid expansion in their states may lose benefits. Young adults can remain on their parents’ plans until they turn 26, but Obamacare’s individual mandate would be gone.

Its purpose: to prevent people from gaming the system by buying insurance only when they needed it and dropping it when they didn’t.

It didn’t always work well. It’s not clear the GOP’s idea of making people pay a 30 percent penalty when they return to the market will work any better.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price has promised, “Nobody will be worse off financially.” Not everyone agrees.

Washington and Lee law professor emeritus Timothy Jost says younger and wealthier people in low-cost areas will be better off than they were under Obamacare. Older and poorer people living in high-cost areas will be worse off.

Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare are getting lots of media attention. But like most reporting on major issues, the coverage is about who’s up, who’s down, who wins and who loses. Explanations of how proposals will affect people will get short shrift.

I’ve heard from readers complaining about Obamacare and from some who praised it. This column will tackle some of those concerns and explain the potential effects of the legislation that has so far been OK’d by two congressional committees.

The bill that may reach the president could be very different in specifics, but the primary goal – to reduce government health care spending and encourage more personal responsibility in choosing health care arrangements – is not likely to change.

Will I continue to receive subsidies? Like Obamacare, Republican proposals call for tax credits to help people buy coverage, but there are significant differences.

Obamacare policies are pegged to income with those at the bottom of the income scale getting larger credits. Those credits get smaller as income rises and phase out when families and individuals have incomes greater than 400 percent of the federal poverty level. (This year that’s $97,000 for a family of four and $47,000 for individuals.)

The GOP proposal ties credits to age: individuals under 30 would receive a $2,000 credit with the amount gradually rising until someone age 60

How we gear up for Giving Tuesday It might seem way too early to be thinking about November, but a handful of us in the nonprofit world are already planning for Giving Tuesday this fall. Actually, it’s a number of ideas coming together and then tangents to those ideas – our nonprofit sector is some of the best brainstormers I know!

A few years ago we started our monthly “Nonprofit Tools for Success” gatherings where we discuss items that local nonprofits need and want in order to increase organizations’ skills and efficiency. Last November, we hosted a half-day event for National Philanthropy Day and out of that came topic ideas for the monthly “Tools for Success” gatherings.

One hot topic for all nonprofits seems to be “marketing,” especially in light of the lightning speed of change around social marketing – juxtaposed against the fact that many in our county (including donors) still prefer old-school newsletters, newspapers and mail.

Toward that, our February

VIEWS Julianne Buck presentation was the U.S. Postal Service teaching us the details of “Every Door Direct Mail” (EDDM) and bulk mail (Thank you to Morris Postmaster Thomas Kimes for setting it up!). EDDM looks to be a great service for nonprofits and for-profits alike.

It’s much less labor-intensive than bulk mail and incredibly lowcost. Yes, internet email and social media are great ways to communicate with friends and donors online, but it’s nice to know there’s a resource for those of us who still want to communicate with our community via hard copy mail.

Our March conversation was a handful of us nonprofits discussing and preparing for Giving Tuesday, which is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. The thought and progression

is: Thanksgiving Thursday, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Church Sunday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday – bracketing the weekend with ways to express thankfulness.

Many of us have individually marketed our nonprofits in the Giving Tuesday arena with limited success. However, the movement is gaining popularity at the state and national level, so a group of us nonprofits have decided to pool our talent and resources to host a Grundy County Giving Tuesday on Nov. 28.

We will be meeting during our “Tools for Success” gatherings on the first Tuesday of the month at 8:30 a.m. at the Foundation office, 520 W. Illinois Ave. in Morris. All nonprofits in the region who are interested in partnering toward this big donor-relations initiative are invited to attend.

A tangent to this conversation is the bigger idea of local nonprofits partnering to “hire” a marketing person to share among us. Many of

us feel the stress of trying to squeeze in the time to create a proper marketing plan, including recording and sharing the great stories that all of us nonprofits have.

What if we could find a marketing intern from one of the local colleges?

What if that intern spent an hour or two a month with each nonprofit in the partnership to advance their marketing?

What if this was successful enough that we could pool our resources to hire a full-time shared marketing staff??

All good questions, so stay tuned.

Again, if your nonprofit (charities, churches, government programs, etc.) wants to be part of the Giving Tuesday team, please come to the next “Tools for Success” at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 4, at the foundation office.

All are welcome!

Where does our governor stand?

SPRINGFIELD – There is an old Marine saying that goes something like this: Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.

Gov. Bruce Rauner would do well to remember that adage.

Because this past month he has failed at all three.

His first two years in office have been marked not so much by accomplishment, but by clarity of vision.

But in the last month, he has even botched that.

The Bruce Rauner the voters chose in 2014 was a man who stood for lower taxes, for reduced government spending and for reforming Illinois’ sleazy political culture.

He was the guy who ran on the platform of “shaking up Springfield.”

VIEWS Well, he’s well on his way toward becoming what he ran against.

Remember he was the fellow who ran Scott Reeder against “career politicians?”

And then last month he hired a failed one to be his deputy governor.

Leslie Munger may have been an OK comptroller, but the voters gave her the boot and the governor’s office shouldn’t serve as a soft-landing pad for Rauner’s failed political friends.

After all, Illinois voters chose him to govern – not to cut sweetheart deals.

These are the type of political shenanigans that have infested past administrations.

The folks who elected you, Bruce, wanted something different.

Oh, I know you have Rasputin-like advisers who are whispering in your ear: “Be Mr. Nice Guy, stay above the fray. And, remember ‘help’ your friends.”

That’s worthless advice.

The recent Budget Address could be best summarized as: Um, I dunno.

It had as many question marks as digits.

The only thing that Rauner’s critics and his past supporters seemed to agree on was that it was billions of dollars out of whack. That’s not leadership. It’s vacillation.

In a state where ambiguity has long been the password for the status quo, Rauner is proving himself to be more of the same.

Illinois voters deserve to know where our governor stands. Right, now, that’s a big question mark.

His administration isn’t beyond redemption, but it’s well on its way. We are left scratching our heads and wondering what does our state’s chief executive stand for? It’s time to stand for something.

Because, Bruce, we just don’t know you well enough, to miss you when you are gone.

Registration for Summer Day Camp opened March 4 at the Morris Community YMCA, marking the beginning of the 12th season for this life-changing program in Grundy County. With each year, the Y has continued to offer new programs to meet the needs of Grundy County residents, and 2017 is no different.

In 2016, a survey of Morris Community YMCA members revealed 43 percent of respondents were looking for non-athletic programs for area youth and teens. After receiving this information, the staff at the Morris YMCA began exploring opportunities to address this need in the community and found an ideal partner.

We are excited to announce that we will be teaming up with the Grundy Area Vocational Center (GAVC) to offer four new specialty camps this summer. Designed for tweens and teens in grades 5 through 8, these camps will allow students to learn new skills, gain confidence and tap into their creativity.

Registration will open in early April for the weeklong camps, which will include offerings in computer

COMMUNITY PULSE Missy Durkin maintenance, graphics and design, culinary arts, building trades and automotive repair, and health occupations.

As in years past, the YMCA will also be offering a number of summer camps for kids of all ages. The Y’s preschool camp, which is designed for children ages 3-5, will be returning for a third year at our Wauponsee Street location.

Preschool camp is a great opportunity for your child to embrace his or her imagination and be creative.

Weekly activities will incorporate bright colors, music and interactive games to help our youngest members develop their socialization skills.

Just like the big kids, our preschool campers will go on “field trips” and great adventures while staying a little closer to home, in downtown Morris.

For school-aged children, the Y will

be offering day camp at two convenient locations this summer: Saratoga Elementary School in Morris and the Early Childhood Center in Coal City.

These two camp locations will join together to enjoy amazing experiences, including trips to the Morris City Pool twice a week and field trips to a variety of places that truly lets kids be kids while learning and thriving in a fun environment. While the trips are great, and the swimming is fun, the real value comes from the experiences of meeting and making new friends and memories that last a lifetime.

Our youth and family director Sarah Porzel has some new ideas on deck this year that will place an emphasis on healthy eating, our local community and the importance of giving back and volunteering.

Of course, the YMCA’s summer camp calendar wouldn’t be complete without its specialty sports camps that include everything from basketball to cheerleading, flag football to wrestling, and the ever-popular fishing camp. With so many options to choose from, you’ll be sure to find a camp that piques your child’s interest and fits

within your family’s busy summer schedule.

In an effort to ensure that every child can enjoy and benefit from the summer camp experience, the YMCA offers assistance through its scholarship program. In 2016, thanks to the generosity of our annual campaign donors, one out of every three children enrolled in camp received assistance.

If you would like to learn more about the Y’s scholarship program, or if you would like to help send a kid to YMCA camp this summer, stop by the Y today.

We look forward to seeing you around the Y this summer! To learn more, please visit www.jolietymca. org or contact the Morris Community YMCA at 815-513-8080.

Grundy County voting information for the everyday resident SHAW MEDIA Grundy County Clerk Kay Olson announced that early voting and vote by mail for the April 4 Consolidated Election will begin Monday, March 20.

Current election law states that voters are not required to present a government-issued photo ID to early vote, as the voters identity is verified using a signature match just like on Election Day. Please note that once a voter casts an early ballot, the vote cast is final and may not be revoked.

Election law prohibits a person who voted during the early voting period

from voting at the polls on Election Day. Votes cast during the early voting period are not counted until after the polls close on Election Day. Hours for early voting are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and also on Saturday, April 1, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Early Voting takes place at the County Clerk’s Office, located in the Grundy County Courthouse, 111 E. Washington St., Morris.

Please note: Cellphones are not allowed inside the courthouse.

Voters who wish to cast a vote by mail ballot in the upcoming Consolidated Election may contact the County

Clerk’s Office at 815-941-3222 to obtain the necessary application, or may find the application under “Election information,” on the Grundy County website at www.grundyco.org, or email elections@grundyco.org.

No excuse is needed to vote by mail.

Voters are encouraged to apply as early as possible to make sure you receive your ballot in time to vote.

Your ballot must be postmarked no later than Election Day and received at the Grundy County Clerk’s Office within 14 days after Election Day. The last day a ballot may be mailed, is Thursday, March 30.

Ballot integrity: Unless you require

assistance, do not allow anyone else to mark your ballot; do not let anyone force or coerce you into voting for any candidate; and do not let anyone, other than a close relative or authorized messenger, mail, deliver or handle your ballot.

Please note: Making a false statement to obtain a mail ballot or soliciting someone to do so is considered voter fraud, a criminal offense punishable by up to five years in prison.

Voters with questions or wanting more information should contact the Grundy County Clerk at elections@ grundyco.org, or call the Clerk’s Office at 815-941-3222.

Joliet West High School junior Mike Wilson tries to lasso a steel “button” during a deckhand demonstration March 10 at the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s Four Rivers Environmental Education Center in Channahon. Demonstration leader Mike Blaske of Lemont-based Illinois Marine Towing Inc. told the students that the button is a steel fitting that is usually welded to a barge deck. The fitting assists in connecting barges so that there is stability while pushing them up and down the river. The rope work was part of the “Who Works the Rivers” program, created by RiverWorks Discovery to educate students about waterways careers. More than 80 students from Joliet West and Central high schools and the Grundy Area Vocational Center took part in the program.

Minooka Community High School senior Elizabeth Badalamenti, daughter of Thomas and Susan Badalamenti of Channahon, was named the Channahon-Minooka Rotary Club “Student of the Month” for March.

In the classroom, Elizabeth maintains a 4.1 grade-point-average Elizabeth (on a 4.0 scale), and she Badalamenti has been recognized on the high honor roll at MCHS for four years, as an MCHS Academic Excellence Award winner, and as an Illinois State Scholar.

Outside the classroom, Elizabeth is active with several MCHS groups and organizations, including Marching Indians (clarinet section leader), concert band (bass clarinet), wind ensemble, National Honor Society, and the spring musical (light crew).

Away from MCHS, Elizabeth serves the community as a member of the Joliet Juniorettes and as an employee of the Channahon Park

District’s after-school child care programs.

“Service is an incredibly important component of my community, as it unites people from all economic, social and racial backgrounds in order to accomplish a similar goal,” Elizabeth said in a press release. “This is a powerful ability in such a divided society.”

She also stressed that all high school students can make a difference within their community.

“In order to make any kind of difference at their school and within their community, students should first discover what they are passionate about,” she added. “From there, the sky’s the limit. Whether you choose to improve it, share it, or study it, you’ll see the that things you’ve done have left an impact on at least one person’s life, and that can make all the difference.”

After graduation, Elizabeth will attend the University of St. Francis, where she plans to major in marketing and minor in communications as she prepares for a career as a marketing manager.

Grundy County Health Department warns of several cases of mumps in Chicago, surrounding area suburbs SUBMITTED REPORT With reported confirmed cases of mumps in the Chicago suburbs, the Grundy County Health Department would like to make sure the public is aware of the disease and staying healthy.

Mumps is a contagious respiratory illness spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Up to half of people who get mumps have very mild or no symptoms, and therefore do not know they were infected.

Many people who are infected may experience nonspecific symptoms such as muscle aches, tiredness, loss of appetite, headache and low-grade fever.

The most common symptom is parotitis – swollen or tender salivary glands under the ears on one or both sides of the face. People with mumps generally recover after one or two weeks. Occasionally, serious complications may occur, including meningitis, deafness and inflammation of other areas, including the breasts, the ovaries in women, the brain and spinal cord.

The incubation period of mumps is usually around two weeks from exposure to onset of swelling, but may be as

long as 25 days. People are contagious from three days before symptom onset to five days after. This means, someone can have mumps unknowingly and pass it along to other people.

Doctors should consider mumps in their diagnosis if they have a patient with salivary gland swelling. If mumps is suspected, they should report the patient to their local health department.

People who have mumps or are suspected of having mumps should stay home for five days after the swelling began.

State health officials urge immunization to protect against and prevent the spread of mumps. Adults born before 1957 are likely to have had measles and/ or mumps disease as a child and are generally (but not always) considered not to need vaccination.

MORRIS – Grundy Resource Organization will be hosting its inaugural GRO Garden Party on March 18 at Clayton’s Tap. The money raised from this event will go directly to helping continue to feed over 425 residents (at this time, and growing) each month.

While the main focus is on providing fresh fruits and vegetables, the group is able to provide them with other staple food items, as well as personal products, when they are available.

We provide dropoff at the homes of individuals who can’t make it to traditional pantries as well as the working poor who don’t quite meet requirements of other agencies but still have to decide between getting a battery for their car or purchasing food for their family, as well as have community dropoff points in Morris, Minooka, Mazon, Coal City and Gardner at this time.

“When this started, we had no idea how quickly it would grow,” board member Nichole Manning

Morris sand plant receives industry awards SUBMITTED REPORT Demonstrating a strong commitment to employee safety, health and the community, Hanson Material Service’s Morris Sand Plant was recognized with safety, environmental, community relations and industry leadership awards at the Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers annual convention on Feb. 23 in Springfield.

The Morris Sand Plant, with just five employees, was presented with a Community Relations award, a Certificate of Achievement in Environmental Excellence, and a Rock Solid Excellence in Safety, the highest safety award offered by the IAAP, which was achieved in part due to no safety violations and no reportable injuries last year. These awards and other business practices gained Morris Sand Plant the very highest honor granted to a mining company member, the Industry Leadership Award.

For a number of years, the mine has been part of a collaborative effort with the Illinois Department of Natural Resourc-

es, U.S. Geological Survey and Army Corps of Engineers to test new methods of controlling the spread of invasive Asian carp into the Great Lakes.

Last year, the mine donated wood from an old barn on site that will be used as decorative paneling at a community-based fine arts center and held an educational open house for residents and dignitaries to give them an opportunity to witness the mining process and learn about safety measures and environmental efforts.

“By rewarding our industry’s leaders, these programs encourage IAAP members to adopt more proactive safety, health, environmental and community relations practices designed to ensure the company’s operations remain sustainable and upstanding members of the communities they serve,” Shawn McKinney, assistant director for the IAAP, said in a press release.

The Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers is the trade association serving the stone, sand, gravel and industrial mineral mining industry in Illinois.

BOYS BASKETBALL CLASS 1A THIRD-PLACE GAME: CHICAGO HOPE ACADEMY 60, NEWARK 46

Newark finishes fourth in state

By JOSHUA WELGE jwelge@kendallcountynow.com PEORIA – Will Clausel’s basketball story at Newark came full circle, an arc that losses in his last two games couldn’t break.

Clausel’s uncle, Tracy, starred for the Norsemen in the 1970s. Clausel, older brother Jack and lifelong neighbor and teammate Steve McGrath were kids who grew up following the 2011 Newark state championship team.

Clausel appreciated the chance to be at the other end.

Almost three full sections of Peoria’s Carver Arena were a sea of Newark blue for two days, there to support Clausel and the Norsemen.

“I wish our season could have ended like theirs did in 2011,” Clausel said, “but like coach said in the locker room there’s little kids that are looking up to us like we were looking up to those guys. It’s nice to be a part of it. Hopefully in a few years there will be another group down here and we’ll be cheering them on.”

The Norsemen took home the program’s second state basketball trophy, although it wasn’t quite the one they aspired toward. Chicago Hope Academy beat Newark, 60-46, in the Class 1A third-place game Saturday.

Clausel, a second team All-State selection by the Associated Press, and fellow senior Cameron Myre both scored 19 points for Newark, who led 29-28 at halftime. But the Norsemen (286) couldn’t overcome Hope Academy’s sizzling 61.1 percent shooting. Newark made just two field goals in the third quarter after its hot start.

All-Stater Jordan Doss led Hope Academy with 20 points, going 5-for-10 from 3-point range.

“We didn’t want to come home with fourth place, but the important thing is we got here,” Newark coach Rick Tollefson said. “Basketball is a funny game. (Hope Academy) hit two outside shots (in the semifinals) Friday. Today was a different story.”

Hope Academy and Newark were not strangers. Newark’s 2011 team beat Hope Academy in a sectional final at Mooseheart en route to the state title.

This was Hope Academy’s first state appearance.

Newark’s Steve McGrath, Will Clausel and Cameron Myre share the moment with the Norsemen’s fourth-place trophy during the Class 1A third-place game awards ceremony Saturday at Peoria Civic Center. The Norsemen fell, 60-46, to the Chicago Hope Academy to bring home this year’s fourth-place award. coach Antwon Johnson said. “We’ve always wanted to get to the level that they’re at.”

One of the 2011 Norsemen’s key players, John Avery, is now a volunteer assistant at Newark. He put this group’s accomplishment in good perspective.

“Every kid in Illinois starts their season wanting to play in Peoria,” Avery said. “After the Annawan loss (in February), I had people telling me this team should just be worried about getting out of regionals. They have a lot to be proud of.”

Both Newark and Hope Academy struggled through cold shooting in the semifinals. Both broke out early Saturday.

For the Norsemen, Myre hit his first four 3-point attempts, and Clausel

scored seven in a first quarter that saw Newark shoot 54.5 percent. It was tied at 18 after a quarter, and Clausel’s two free throws sent Newark into halftime ahead 29-28. The Norsemen never led again after Doss’ 3-pointer to start the third quarter.

“I wasn’t necessarily feeling it in warmups, but I was definitely feeling it in the games,” Myre said. “I just really didn’t want to lose.”

Newark didn’t lose too often the past four years with seniors such as Clausel, Myre and McGrath, going 96-29.

Tollefson put the ball in Clausel’s hands as a freshman point guard, and he ran with it. That faith was not lost on the Newark senior, who finished his career fifth on the school’s all-time scoring list with more than 1,600 points.

“A lot of coaches wouldn’t have done that for a little freshman, but he trusted me,” Clausel said. “We did some special things.”

Clausel’s immediate future is on Newark’s baseball team, a sport he laughed he hasn’t played since “pony league.” Basketball is in his future, too, a college decision he expects to make soon.

Newark will return starters Dylan Patrick and Beau Brown next year, as well as sixth man Corey Jacobson.

Tollefson won’t forget his seniors.

“I can’t say enough about these guys. They’re etched into my heart,” Tollefson said. “I just love these guys like they’re family. They’re disappointed now but years from now they’ll look back on this with fondness.”

Despite a late start and tough schedule, Redskins call 2016-17 a success

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

Shaw Media file photo

Morris’ Delaney Stutzki led the Redskins with 2.3 assists per game and also scored 4.5 points per contest this season. gram about the difference between fun and rewarding. Too many young people chase what is fun. They chase instant gratification. And they aren’t really focused on what is rewarding. 5:30 a.m. lifting, running sprints, working hard during a losing streak.

“Those things aren’t fun. But when you continue to work on your work ethic, character, level of responsibility and respect, become a better teammate... those long-term traits will lead to a more successful life – and that makes the season rewarding. And I’d say that even if we didn’t hoist the regional plaque. But that part was fun. ... It was the rewarding work through the dog days of January and February. It was learning from all the tough losses. Our guys stayed together and I’m very proud of them for that.”

Morris got a few more wins toward the end of the regular season, hoping to parlay that success into postseason hardware. A win over Streator in the Class

3A Coal City semifinals and another win over Pontiac in the title game allowed the Redskins to hoist their third regional championship plaque in the last eight seasons, a streak unprecedented in Redskin history.

Shaw was the leader of the group, pacing the team in scoring at 15 points per game. Next was Boxley, who scored at an 8.8 clip after rarely seeing the court last season. Stutzki made up the three-guard triumvirate and scored 4.5 a contest while leading the club with 2.3 assists per game.

“It was cool that we got to take that next step and play in the sectional,” Boxley said after the Redskins’ regional title win over Pontiac. “Everyone on this team knew their role and played it. We didn’t care who scored, as long as someone did.”

Other seniors on the club were Jordan Olson, Michael Feeney, Keagan Sobol, Josh Lain and Nate Halcomb. Feeney and Sobol did not play basketball in their ju-

MORRIS – When the boys basketball season started, Morris coach Joe Blumberg faced a familiar disadvantage. Many of his players entered the first game having had very little time to prepare due to the football team’s extended run to the Class 5A semifinals. That is something that many schools face, though, so Blumberg and the Redskins refused to look at it as an excuse for any early-season woes.

Morris lost its first game to Gardner-South Wilmington in the Coal City Turkey Tourney, but rebounded to finish second in the tournament. The Redskins continued to hover at or near the .500 mark for the remainder of 2016, eventually finishing sixth in the 24-team Plano Holiday Classic.

Throughout the early season, Blumberg worked with different variations of the starting lineup, the constants being senior guards Matt Shaw and JaQuan Boxley. Those two, along with junior post player Tyler Spiezio, had the most experience coming off last year’s team. Spiezio was part of the football contingent that was late in joining the club, leaving the leadership roles squarely on the shoulders of Shaw and Boxley.

When the Northern Illinois Big XII portion of the Morris schedule kicked in, the Redskins knew they would have their work cut out for them. As a Class 3A team, they were going to face such teams as DeKalb, Sycamore, Kaneland, Ottawa, LaSalle-Peru and Yorkville, all of which are traditionally powerful programs.

Even Rochelle had one of the best teams it had boasted in recent memory.

The end result was a tough finish in the NIB 12 for the Redskins en route to a 1316 overall record, and many of the losses came down to the last minute or possession. Those types of losses can wear on a team’s psyche, Blumberg said.

“If you look at strictly won-loss records, this group of seniors didn’t have an successful career,” Blumberg said. “But there is always more than the win-loss total. Always. They faced a lot of adversity. They persevered. They were very competitive. ... Much more competitive than the final record indicated.

“We’ve talked a lot lately in our pro-

nior seasons.

“Individually, we are losing quite a bit,” Blumberg said. “Jordan Olson didn’t play as much as he would have liked, but he worked extremely hard in practice, pressuring our guards, battling guys bigger than him, and our team needed his practice intensity. Keagan and Michael Feeney... Talk about high-character guys.

“All state football players, but guys who came off the bench for us. Not many people can handle that drastic change in athletic roles, from the go-to guy to the bench mob. Yet I never heard those guys complain once. In fact, they were the opposite – positive in practice, extremely hard working.”

Meanwhile, junior Spiezio benefited underneath from the tutelage of Lain and Halcomb.

“Josh and Nate Halcomb... they didn’t put up eye-popping numbers,” Blumberg said. “But they did the dirty work. Boxing out, absorbing the elbows, setting great screens, finding open teammates. They each hit some big free throws, grabbed really important rebounds, and had some huge baskets. Both had big games against Streator in the regional semi.”

That left the three starting guards – Shaw, Boxley and Stutzki – the focal point of the Redskins’ traditional guard-oriented style of play.

“I’m not sure where we’d be without Delaney,” Blumberg said. “This is, I think, the third or fourth year in a row that we’ve had guys take their junior year off and come back and play significant roles their senior year. Delaney stepped into the starting point guard role and ran with it. I have a tremendous amount of respect for ‘D.’ ” While Stutzki was a pleasant surprise as a varsity newcomer, Shaw and Boxley knew what to expect and wanted things to be better than they were the previous season, when the Redskins ended at 10-18.

“Matty and Quan... when I think to where those guys were as freshmen, to the players they worked themselves into...they deserve all the credit for their hard work,” Blumberg said. “They bugged the heck out of me for gym keys during the summer and combined, they scored more than 700 points. Matt faced no help defenses, diamond and one, box and one... teams were physical with him.

“JaQuan really developed the ability to get to the lane and finish. He frustrated the opponent’s best guard with his perimeter pressure, and often set the tone on defense with his intensity.”

Shaw summed up his career as a Redskin pretty succinctly.

“I am so glad I got to finish my senior year with a regional title,” he said. “I love this group of guys.”

My memories of sports days gone by Dave still looks good. Even at 74.

Being 6 feet, 6 inches tall is a clue that he was a basketball player, but there’s more to it.

He’s trim, dresses well and carries himself with enthusiasm and a smile. I know... I ran into him a few years ago and enjoyed the long talk we had.

He probably has a lot of stuff.

But I know he has a scrapbook with several Des Moines Register articles.

Many of them about his senior year at Drake and the exciting games his basketball team played.

Mulligan still gets around. Even at 71. He might have been 5-9, but probably lost an inch.

He’s too jumpy to eat much so he hasn’t put on much weight since the days when Drake was a national basketball power... which has been awhile. I run into him once in a while also.

Mulligan doesn’t have a lot of stuff.

No scrapbook.

No pictures.

No newspaper clippings.

He just remembers things. A lot of things. And he can tell you that a good memory is just as often a curse as it is a blessing.

On this day in February 2017, Dave decided to take in the blues concert at the Botanical Gardens in Des Moines. The weather was good.

Lunch and music sounded like a good idea.

As it happened, a few of Mulligan’s friends and Drake classmates decided to do the same. By chance, they struck up a conversation with Dave as they all awaited the concert.

They discovered he had been a Drake basketball player. One even realized he was a freshman when Dave was a senior and had seen him play.

Knowing Mulligan loved his basketball, they sent him a group picture and asked if Mully remembered him.

“Yup.”

VIEWS Jon Ringer Did he see him play? What did he remember?

“Saw him. Remember a lot.”

Dave mentioned the Wichita game. What about that?

Mulligan took a deep breath and typed his reply: It was a cold day in mid-February of 1964. He had to stand in line for two hours to get into the freshman game that was played before the big show.

It was “first come” with the seats, but he got row 2 across from the Drake bench.

The freshman game was terrible.

All the young Bulldogs who could play had flunked out of school at the semester.

The varsity game began at 8. Best game in the country that day.

Wichita (before they were Wichita State) was ranked No. 7 in the nation, Drake No.10. The Missouri Valley was the premier conference.

Those two, plus Louisville, Cincinnati, and Bradley were very good.

Cincy was coming off three straight trips to the NCAA Championship Game.

The game was shove and push.

Tuck and nip. Forth and back.

Velveeta and Rotel. All of that.

Then the Shockers’ Dave Stallworth hit a jumper to put Wichita up by three. Drake hustled down court, and Gene West got foolishly fouled with :07 to go. Both ends of the one and one went down and the Shockers called time out.

The boys from Wichita had a tough little point guard named Kelly Pete, two bookend All-American forwards in Stallworth and Nate Bowman... and a future Hall of Fame coach in Ralph Miller.

They came up with a plan to kill

those last seven seconds, jump on the bus, and head for Kansas.

Drake coach Maury Johns deployed his defense: Gene Bogash, the JuCo transfer with a very awkward jump shot that got a lot prettier as it ripped the nets. West, the 6-4 shooting guard from Ames.

McCoy McLemore, one of the Valley’s greatest players and an incredible athlete.

Billy Foster, the spring-loaded point guard from Des Moines’ first family of basketball (his brother Jerry proceeded him). And Dave.

Dave was a backup center/forward who often played more as the game got later.

Coach Miller’s plan was a good one. Bowman would break deep and Stallworth would fake to Pete and throw the bomb. A 70-foot pass sailed toward an open Bowman. Dave jumped the route and leaped (as much as a 6-6 farm kid from Iowa can leap). He got a finger on the ball and it fell to his feet.

It hit Dave’s foot and started to roll toward the half-court line. He dove on the ball and called timeout.

Oh my! Mulligan was 18 years old and aging quickly. 14,000 fans took a breath and released personal expressions of excitement. Four seconds remained.

Maury didn’t try to trick anyone.

They could have announced it on the P.A. “Ladies and Gentlemen, please be advised that the sun is going to rise in the east tomorrow and Billy Foster is going to take the final shot.”

Play resumed.

Foster took the inbounds pass from Bogash, dribbled three times to the top of the key as he was backing into Kelly Pete, rose up and turned in the air.

Mulligan is no different than other sports fans. He’s got his favorite memories and he’s got his heartbreaks. The Good Lord knows that he’s got his heartbreaks. He knows

you can’t say “I was there” unless “you was there” so he’s always tries to attend big games... full well understanding the risks.

Up until that moment, it had been everything a college basketball game should be. But then, it took on a whole new life.

As the buzzer sounded... as that 21-foot shot hit nothing but cotton... as 14,000 went from silence to explosive glee... Mully leaped (as much as a 5-9 farm kid from Iowa could leap) onto the floor. A cheerleader (who obviously couldn’t do any better) jumped into his arms and kissed him.

The night was memorable. All the male students roamed the campus and chanted for the coeds to come out of their dorms.

They couldn’t. In those days, they were locked in after 11 on weeknights. The next day, classes were canceled. Not that Mulligan would have attended.

Mully’s friends know he has a flare for the hyperbole. They suspected he told them that story because nobody could challenge the details.

So they called his bluff. They sent his email to Dave.

Dave had a simple response.

“Good memory. That’s how it happened. More accurate than the newspaper article in my scrapbook.”

Dave was a good player. Personal encounters tell me he’s a good guy who still enjoys life. The pictures and stories in his scrapbook tell a story about the memories he built for himself and the moments he created for others.

Mulligan is simply a fan of the game. These next two and a half weeks are like a vacation in Tahiti for him. The miles from his basketball trips could have taken him around the world. Twice.

He’s never clipped out an article.

But he remembers a lot. And if a picture is worth a thousand words, he’ll give you the words instead.

Morris’ Matt Shaw led the team with 17 points in a season-ending 73-41 loss to Hillcrest in the semifinals of the Class 3A Plano Sectional last Wednesday.

“They are very quick and they had a very aggressive mentality when it came to getting to the basket. They got to the line a lot and, to their credit, they knocked down their free throws.”

Shaw finished with a team-leading 17 points for Morris and scored nine in the third quarter. Hillcrest’s Marcus Garrett was the game’s leading scorer with 25 points, and he went 11 of 14 from the free throw line. Backcourt mate Jalen Hughes finished with 16 points.

“Things kind of snowballed on us

in the second half,” Blumberg said. “[Point guard] Delaney Stutzki got in foul trouble and that made it tougher on us handling their pressure, although I felt Payton Voitik and Kameron Dransfeldt did a nice job off the bench.

“Hopefully, for the guys returning next year, when they go half-speed in a drill in practice, maybe they will ask themselves if that’s quick enough to get it done against a team like Hillcrest. We’ve seen what that speed is like and these are the teams we are going to beat if we want to take that

PLANO – The Morris boys basketball team knew that nearly everything was going to have to break its way March 8 if the Redskins were going to pull off the upset in the Class 3A Plano Sectional semifinals against Hillcrest, the sectional’s top-seeded team.

And, for a little while, a lot of things did go Morris’ way, enough so that the game was tied at 17 midway through the second quarter after leading scorer Matt Shaw scored his first basket of the game on a 3-pointer.

After that, though, it was all Hillcrest, as the Hawks outscored the Redskins, 16-4, in the remaining 5:28 of the first half to take a 33-21 lead at halftime en route to a 73-41 final score that was nowhere near indicative of the effort put forth by a scrappy Morris club.

“I am definitely proud of our effort,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “We knew we were going to have to shoot very well and rebound well if we were going to win. I don’t know if we did either one of those things well enough, but I do know we didn’t lose due to lack of effort.”

Throughout the game, Hillcrest made a living at the free-throw line, as the Hawks finished 23 of 32 from the charity stripe, including 12 of 14 in the first half.

By contrast, Morris made 2 of 2 free throws in the first half and finished 6 of 7.

Hillcrest jumped out to a 9-2 lead early, but Morris got eight points from JaQuan Boxley to pull to within 11-10 with 2:39 to play in the first quarter.

Boxley finished with 11 points.

Hillcrest scored the final four points of the first quarter to take a 15-10 lead at the break.

Morris’ Tyler Spiezio scored the first four points of the second quarter to pull the Redskins to within 15-14.

Hillcrest’s Robert Harvey responded with a steal and a layup, but Shaw’s first 3-pointer of the game tied it with 5:28 to go until intermission.

From there, the Hawks tightened up their defense and forced Morris into six turnovers en route to building the halftime lead.

“If we could have stayed with six points or so at halftime, it might have been a little different,” Blumberg said. “Ending the first half the way they did took a little wind out of our sails after we worked so hard to tie it.

The debate over lead in outdoor products The use of lead has been controversial for years.

It has been proved to cause all kinds of health issues in humans and animals. It has been removed from our gasoline, taken out of paint and it is no longer in solder used to hold together copper water lines.

This issue of using lead has also been debated, and even argued, in the use of outdoor products. Lead is used in bullets, shot shells, and in numerous fishing lures and tackle.

The unique properties of lead make it ideal to be formed, melted and poured. Its density is also highly desirable.

A ¼-ounce steel sinker and a ¼-ounce lead sinker are very different in size. Steel is not nearly as dense of a metal.

Other metals that are similar in properties to lead cost much more.

This financial discrepancy causes consumers to walk right past higher-priced products and pick up the cheaper, lead-based ones.

One of the last executive orders by the Obama administration was to ban the use of lead shot and lead sinkers on all federal lands.

Dan Ashe, the former director of

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, made the announcement on his last full day in office.

“Exposure to lead ammunition and fishing tackle has resulted in harmful effects to fish and wildlife species. According the U.S. Geological Survey, lead poisoning is a toxicosis caused by the absorption of hazardous levels of lead in body tissues.”

Naturally, manufacturers of outdoor products heralded the action as political and not based on science.

Basically, what I found out in my research is that companies understand that lead can cause issues, but they question how widespread those issues are.

In 1991, restrictions were put in place to eliminate lead shot used for hunting waterfowl. The law went into place because of diminishing waterfowl populations. The ducks that were most at-risk involved

diving ducks, with puddlers also showing some lead poisoning characteristics.

If you are interested in learning more, you can Google search a report from The Wildlife Society.

Look for a title called “Sources and Implications of Lead Ammunition and Fishing Tackle on Natural Resources.”

President Trump’s new Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, overturned Obama’s executive order just this month. Zinke said, “After reviewing the order and the process by which it was promulgated, I have determined that the order is not mandated by any existing statutory or regulatory requirement and was issued without significant communication, consultation, or coordination with affected stakeholders.”

In other words, the outdoor industry was not a part of the discussion.

Naturally, the real heart of the debate comes down to dollars versus impact on wildlife.

How do I feel about this?

I think that an all-out ban on lead is inevitable. Yes, the cost to the consumer will be affected. As outdoorsmen, we made it through the ban on

lead in our waterfowl ammo. I think we will make it through any other changes in the hunting and fishing industry, as well.

My hope is that these decisions are based on unbiased scientific research and not lobbyists for either side. As an avid angler and hunter, I want our wild animals to be there for future generations.

The debate is growing as a larger number of birds that scavenge are coming up as suffering from lead poisoning. According to the University of Minnesota’s Raptor Center, 21 percent to 25 percent of the birds brought in during the last 25 years have were found to have toxic levels of lead in their bloodstream. This same report states that in Iowa from 2005-06 there were 25 eagles brought in because of sickness or injury.

Thirteen of those birds also showed signs of lead poisoning.

This debate is not over and it will not go away. Time will tell.

Until then, the next time I buy some ammo, I think I will grab a box of nontoxic shot.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

By BRUCE MILES bmiles@dailyherald.com

We don’t know what’s going to happen.

We’ve just got to go out there and be ready to play every day, and everything will work itself out.”

The Cubs might or might not go with a straight platoon with the left-handed hitting Jay and the right-handed Almora to start the season, but with Almora being the Cubs’ first-round draft pick in 2012, the assumption is he will take

over the center-field job at some point.

Jay seems OK with sharing time.

“That’s the role I started off on,” he said. “You never know when it’s going to be your turn. You’ve got to be mentally prepared, physically prepared and just ready to roll.”

Both can play all three outfield positions, so both could be in the lineup on some days.

Center field was an island of stability in an otherwise changing sea for the Cubs the past two years, both with their batting order and defense.

Dexter Fowler put the “go” into the offense from the leadoff spot and was the primary center fielder. Manager Joe Maddon would tell Fowler, “You go, we go,” before his at-bats.

Fowler has gone, to the St. Louis Cardinals. Kyle Schwarber likely will take over leadoff duties, and the tandem of Jon Jay and Albert Almora Jr. will share time in center field.

Jay, who celebrates his 32nd birthday Wednesday, is expected to pave the way for the soon-to-be 23-year-old Almora, who got a taste of the big leagues last year in the regular season and postseason. The Cubs signed Jay to a

one-year contract this offseason after he spent six seasons with the Cardinals and last year with the San Diego Padres.

A broken right forearm limited Jay to 90 games last year, but he has World Series-winning experience with St. Louis.

“I’m just another voice here that has some experience,” he said early in spring training. “It’s all about fighting for that ring and getting into October.

Last year was the first year I missed that. It was kind of hard watching it on TV. It’s nice to be back in that atmosphere.”

The Cubs like Jay’s leadership ability and his friendship with Almora. The two are workout buddies in Miami.

Jay has a lifetime on-base percentage of .352. His .996 fielding percentage in center field is the highest among active players with at least 500 games at the position.

“I’ve been in a lot of different situations when I was in St. Louis, where I started off the year not playing much or was projected this or projected that.

But I’m not worried about that. That’s been the same message I told Albert.

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER you wind up feeling fuller for longer.

Insoluble fiber, meanwhile, has an equally important job. Not only do the texture and “chew” that insoluble fiber adds to food make a meal more interesting, it travels relatively unchanged through the digestive tract and gives much-needed bulk to stool. This results in easier and more regular elimination.

Insoluble fiber also helps to control the pH of the colon, and helps to prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances.

How much fiber do you need? Current recommendations put the number at 25 grams a day for women younger than 50, and 38 grams a day for men younger than 50. For adults older than 50, the number is 21 grams a day for women, and 30 grams a day for men.

Although all kinds of fiber supplements are available, they lack vitamins, minerals and micronutrients, so it’s better to eat whole foods. Most fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes and grains contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, but in differing amounts. For the best results, eat from a wide range of foods.

If fiber has been missing from your diet, it’s wise to add it slowly. Make the change to a high-fiber diet too quickly and you run the risk of unpleasant side effects, such as gas.

And be sure to drink plenty of liquid to keep the fiber – and your digestive tract – moving smoothly.

Dear Doctor: Our family went out to dinner the other night, and when I urged our kids to order a salad instead of french fries because of the dietary fiber in salads, they challenged me to explain why. I was embarrassed that all I could come up with about the benefits of fiber was “because it’s good for you.” Can you help?

Dear Reader: Don’t feel bad! With your brief answer, you got right to the heart of the matter – dietary fiber is integral to a well-balanced diet and to a healthy life. It lowers your risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, prevents constipation, stabilizes blood sugar and can help you maintain a healthy weight.

But kids are often natural skeptics when it comes to any kind of rules, so we’re happy to help you out with the science of why dietary fiber matters.

Let’s start with what we’re referring to when we talk about fiber. Dietary fiber is the part of the fruit, vegetable or grain that your body cannot digest and absorb.

It falls into two basic categories. Fiber that can dissolve in water is known as soluble fiber. Fiber that cannot dissolve in water, and which passes through the body pretty much intact, is known as insoluble fiber.

Each type of fiber offers a specific health benefit. Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a kind of gel matrix, which puts the brakes on the entire digestive process. The presence of soluble fiber slows the absorption of sugars, which stabilizes blood glucose levels. It binds cholesterol so that instead of being absorbed by the body, cholesterol is excreted. And because the stomach takes longer to empty when soluble fiber is present,

With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery. The ChicagoLand Clinics offer therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

We have clinics throughout ChicagoLand that have partnered with the Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common treatments ensue, including OTC

medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “rooster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc...) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained. The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to many of these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

Regenerative therapy takes advantage of your body’s ability to repair itself, naturally. The army of healing cells is injected to the area by one of our trained practitioners. These procedures are SAFE, ETHICAL and EFFECTIVE at repairing damage and reducing pain while improving your function.

The Stem Cell Institute of America offers seminars that include vital information on the healing potential of Amniotic Placental Tissue. This tissue is a rich source of non-immunogenic cells nearly eliminating the risk of rejection or side effects while providing an incredible healing force in your body. Over the span of a few weeks to months, the cells and growth factors assist your bodies ability to repair and regenerate cartilage, ligaments, joint fluid, muscles, tissues and even nerves. This simple in office procedure can have an incredible impact on your function and restore your pain free life.
