Jon Styf On Thursday morning, I got a phone call in my office.

Had I heard about the great whites in Morris? Were they real?

The caller, purporting to be a zoology professor interested in a research trip with students, wanted to know what we knew.

“Can you say that again? Are you talking about sharks?” I asked.

“Yes,” was the response.

So I searched Twitter and Google and found the source.

It was a post, on a “Prank Your Friends Now!” website that apparently a lot of people have shared.

As reporter Heidi Litchfield wrote in January, be careful what you’re sharing on social media. Much of the stuff you see that shocks you isn’t real.

I called back and left a message to tell the caller as much.

When I reached Heidi, she already knew about it and had been tagged in posts about it several times a day before.

She wasn’t the only one in the newsroom who had. The photo used on the post was actually used on a different post, claiming a shark sighting in the Mississippi River, in October. Snopes debunked it then.

I’m not going to share the fake post here, that would be contradictory.

But since we received a message on our

Facebook page regarding it Friday, it’s clear that some are unclear on the reality here.

So you know, someone posted the same story with the same photo on that same site regarding St. Louis on Friday.

While I’ve lived in climates and areas where sharks are very real, and will see more when I visit the Shedd Aquarium this weekend, there is zero threat of sharks naturally ending up in the freshwater here. Or surviving even if someone dumped one in a river here (how the heck and why would you do that with a “great white?”).

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD MORRIS – At Monday night’s regular Morris City Council meeting, the aldermen voted to approve a contract with All Year Round Landscaping of Morris to do this spring’s cleanup, mulching and edging work, as well as take care of this year’s fall cleanup and 2018 spring cleanup.

This year’s spring work required the most work, with the remulching of the beds, as well as other extra work to the municipal services building, and the bid of $4,958 was approved, 7-0, with Alderman Randy Larson absent.

The fall and spring cleanup approval

was for an additional $1,110, with a vote of 7-0.

The council also approved the parks and annexation committee recommendation to approve the lowest responsible bid from Acosta Fence Corp., to put in new fencing at Roth Field for $22,978, with a 7-0 vote.

Alderman Jeff Wachowski, head of the committee, said they received three bids on the fencing, with the highest bid being $28,500.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said the project will replace the fence posts as well as extend the fence leaving an open space with no gate on the outer edge along with new fencing material.

He said the backstop posts will re-

The council took action to not approve the increase of the number of Class E liquor licenses from six to seven in a 7-0 vote, which resulted in the application for Fadi Mohammad, doing business as Milly’s at 1715 N Division St., to operate a gaming cafe to not come to vote.

Kopczick said, without the liquor license, there was no purpose to vote on the business license since it was contingent on the liquor license approval.

The council did approve a business license for Mahammad Vahora, doing business as US Fuel Inc. doing business as Midwest to operate a gas station at 1848 N. Division St.

Hornsby talks history of downtown Morris business, from 1945 to 1955

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent

​T he height of downtown Morris was a period just after World War II, Morris businessman Arthur Hornsby said.

As a guest speaker at a recent Grundy County Historical Society meeting, Hornsby said that people didn’t have a lot of money to spend during the war.

One of the few businesses that prospered during that time was a service station on Liberty Street – a service station that specialized in repairing tires.

Because of the war effort, new tires could not be found, and people had to rely on patching up their old ones when they got a flat.

Some people had eight or nine patches on one tire, Hornsby said.

“And driving down the road,” he said, “you could feel every one of them.”

Dozens attended the historical society’s meeting, which was moved across the parking lot to the Morris Theatre Guild’s larger space. The audience was of all ages, but many were of an age to remember the businesses and practices of which Hornsby spoke.

GCHS president Donna Sroczynski said the society holds five meetings a year and always tries to schedule interesting speakers for its members and the community.

For his talk, Hornsby chose the 10year period after the war, from 1945 to 1955, when downtown Morris saw a boom in businesses, as well as in social activity around Liberty Street between the railroad tracks, south to the Illinois River.

“Everything at that time was in downtown Morris,” Hornsby said.

“Therefore, everyone who wanted anything had to go downtown.”

The only exception, he said, were the 30 or so little neighborhood grocery stores scattered all over town.

Customers weren’t free to wander the aisles of the small stores, however. They would tell the employee at the counter what they wanted, and the employee would get the items and bring them to the counter.

Hornsby grew up in the Morris business world. His grandfather, William Hornsby, started working

“Everything at that time was in downtown Morris. Therefore, everyone who wanted anything had to go downtown.”

“There were too many people to be able to sweep the sidewalks.

It was like Corn Festival.”

Everyday superheroes to run for a super cause If you go

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Many people grow up wanting to be a superhero.

Morris Woman’s Club is going to give them a chance to not only dress the part, but also run to raise money to be a hero to Easter Seals Joliet Region, which provides needed services to residents of Grundy County.

“We had a great time last year with our 5K so we’ve added a half marathon and hope we can get more people out to help us raise money for an important group,” said Michelle Mitchell, with the Morris Woman’s Club.

Whether you believe there’s no superhero better than Batman or if Superman is more your type, there is room for avid runners and weekend 5K warriors to participate in the second annual run.

Mitchell said the MWC wanted to do a superhero theme because regardless of which organization they choose to donate to each year, proceeds will go to real-life superheroes. She said the beneficiary will change each year, but they’ll all have something in common.

Grundy County voters say ‘no’ to public safety tax

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com GRUNDY COUNTY – Grundy County voters chose to reject a public safety tax question placed on the ballot by the Grundy County Board.

With 72.5 percent of the votes in at press time, voters voted, 1,932 to 666, against the tax. Voters were asked to answer the following question: “To pay for public safety purposes, shall Grundy County be authorized to impose an increase on its share of local sales taxes by .50 percent? This would mean that a consumer would pay an additional 50 cents in sales tax for every $100 of tangible property bought at retail.”

Doug Pryor, Grundy County administrator, said that the public safety tax applies to the sale of tangible goods just like regular sales tax in many cases but would not have applied to medications, including prescription or over the counter, as well as medical supplies such as medical appliances and needles; food that is used for human consumption where it isn’t sold, such as local grocery stores; farm machinery; or any item, with a personal title or registered with the state, such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and trailers.

The public safety tax also has specific items it can be used for, such as crime prevention, detention, emergency and police services.

Morris, Coal City voters choose their board representation

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Only one ward in Morris had opposition, as incumbent Republican Donald Matteson faced off against Democrat Derrick Wren.

Only five votes separated the two when all four precincts reported, with an unofficial total of 15 votes total.

Unofficial results showed Wren the winner with 10 votes and incumbent Matteson with 5.

With a vote this close, official results could possibly change the outcome once all absentee ballots are accounted for.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick, Democratic, ran unopposed while Republican Clerk Carol Adair and Treasurer Marybeth O’Brien also ran unopposed. One seat was open for Wards 1, 3 and 4, while two seats were open for Ward 2, one for four years and one for two years because of board resignations.

Republican Herb Wyeth of Ward 1 and Republican William Martin in Ward 4 ran unopposed. In Ward 2, Ju-

lian Houston ran unopposed for the four-year term, while Republican Sid Nelson ran unopposed for the two-year term.

Coal City – Five candidates were seeking one of three seats on the Coal City Village Board as a trustee serving a fouryear term. Trustees David M. Togliatti, Timothy Bradley and Justin Wren were seeking re-election, while Georgette Vota and Sara Beach were challenging the incumbents.

Unofficial results show the new trustees are Wren with 509 votes, Bradley with 476 and Beach with 411.

Togliatti came in a close fourth with 409 votes, while Vota finished with 381.

Once official results are in, there could be an upset for the third seat between Beach and Togliatti. Late-arriving mail-in votes still need to be counted before votes are finalized April 25.

With infrastructure and the revitalization of downtown as some of the key areas candidates showed concern it will be up to this new board to see those things through.

“Grundy County would only be able to use the revenue generated for public safety purposes,” Pryor said. “Public safety services comprise more than 60 percent of the county’s general fund budget.”

Grundy County’s sales tax revenue has decreased by 59 percent in the past five years, or $2.4 million.

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

While public safety is currently funded partially through a combination of tax revenues, fees and fines, and state and federal grants, the majority comes from the County Board’s general fund, and in 2016, expenditures were at $9 million, or

60 percent of the county’s general fund spending. The County Board is obligated to maintain public safety services within the county and this sales tax would help do that without a raise in residents’ property taxes.

Pryor estimated the tax would have generated about $1.2 million annually and since the money is coming from sales tax, anyone traveling through the county or coming here to shop would share in the cost rather than just burdening the property owners with a raise in property tax.

Because of the question failing, the county’s sales tax will remain at 6.25 percent and the board will need to make decisions on how to close the funding gap.

Coal City voters say ‘no’ to home rule question

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Voters in the village of Coal City voted a resounding “no” to the question, “Shall the village of Coal City, Illinois, become a home rule unit?”

Matt Fritz, village administrator, said before the results coming in that from the beginning, the problem with voting for the question was understanding what it means.

“We understand that everyone has different reasons for voting, and we felt to help them decide their position, we would provide them with as much information as possible,” Fritz said in a previous article. “We made the website public so no matter the voter’s schedule, they can read and research it when they have the time to.”

Whether the voters understood completely what it meant didn’t prevent it from losing, 747 to 175, with 100 percent of the unofficial results in Tuesday

night.

The Coal City Village Board announced in November that it would place the question on the April ballot to seek voter approval to become a home rule unit of government.

Home rule is granted by the Illinois Constitution and is automatic for towns with populations of more than 25,000.

Municipalities under the population threshold can be granted home rule authority by a majority vote of its residents. The Village Board currently can do anything that is allowed by the state Constitution and legislative statutes.

If it had gained home rule status by the voters, it could locally legislate statutes and is only limited by what the state says it cannot do.

Home rule communities are granted a broad range of powers, including the authority to implement local taxes and avert some of the requirements and unfunded mandates handed down by Springfield.

Frank Sereno of Mazon honored for 70 years with American Legion

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD MAZON – Frank Sereno of Mazon is one of the few to be honored for 70 years of membership at an American Legion, and the only one at Mazon Post 352. “Most of our members have reached 60 years, and one is at 50 years, but this is the first time anyone has reached 70 years,� said Jim Sterba with the Mazon post.

He said he never thought he’d see anyone hit that 70-year mark, let alone someone as active and as important to the Mazon group as 92-year-old Sereno. “We are deeply honored to have veterans like that,� Sterba said. “He’s always been active at the post.�

Sterba said Sereno few in aircraft as a gunman in World War II and he’s sure he saw a lot of action and has a lot of history to share.

Sereno, a humble veteran, said he didn’t want the attention or anyone to make a big deal out of it. “He’s our hero more than anything,� Sterba said.

As an active member, he participates every Wednesday night in the American Legion Post 352 bingo, and still participates in funerals of fellow members, recently holding the post flag at the funeral of a fellow Legion member.

Sterba said for being 92 years old and being as active as he is, he is a model member that any Legion would be proud to have.

The Living Last Words to be performed Maundy Thursday

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Even as a seasoned high school actor and speech member, nothing could of prepared Dylan Obrachta to play Jesus as he carries his cross down the aisle between the pews at First Presbyterian Church of Morris, let alone spending almost the entire play “nailed� to it in front of the altar. “I initially thought when they asked me that it was just a skit like we do at First Christian Church where I attend, but then I read the script and realized it was an entire

play,� said Obrachta, a senior at Morris Community High School. “I was concerned initially, but after watching videos and reading it over and over, I’m just nervous a little bit now.�

The First Presbyterian Church of Morris will be performing the play Maundy Thursday, as it has in some previous years.

The church hopes to have the same overwhelming response it has had each year as it puts on different performances of the last days of the life of Jesus Christ.

MORRIS – Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick swore in new police officer Caleb Mitchell at the beginning of the Morris City Council meeting Monday night.

Mitchell, a 2008 graduate of Morris Community High School, received his bachelor’s degree in law Caleb enforcement at Western Mitchell Illinois University and has not worked for any other police department. He has experience as a security officer for one and one half years at Dresden Station, and for several years knew he wanted to become a police officer.

He spent 10 years as a City of Morris employee life guarding at the Morris Pool and hopes this position allows him the same opportunity, to save lives.

“This is a great opportunity for me,” he said before being sworn in. “Community has done a lot for me for the 19 years I’ve lived here,” He started field training on Monday and will work with another officer for six weeks as he trains to be out on his own.

Continued from page 7 As Obrachta hangs on the cross, other actors portray people from the Bible who had interactions with Jesus throughout his life, such as his mother, Mary, the sister of one of the criminals hanging next to Jesus and a centurion who purchased Jesus’ purple robe.

The play, which has been performed before, has variations to this year’s version including Christ’s words from the cross.

Playing the role of Jesus is very different for Obrachta, he said.

“With every other character I’ve played, I’ve been able to put a dash of Dylan in, or improvise if I trip up on a line,” he said. “You can’t improvise Jesus, you can’t give him a dash of Dylan.”

The play is brought to life by the dramatic lighting that dims and brightens as each person enters and starts to speak, the choir playing singing in between each actor.

After the lights dim for the last time, Jesus is taken from the cross by some of the other actors and carried down the center aisle to his “grave.”

Cheryl Roth, who directs the play, said the event is open to anyone who would like to attend, and

“The Living Last Words” was written by Ruth Elaine Schram as a musical drama for Holy Week.

MORRIS – Despite the seizure of $987,780 in U.S. currency in Grundy County, the county will see none of the proceeds if it is not claimed.

This property was seized by law enforcement authorities on Oct. 25, 2016, at about 11:53 a.m., at or near the location of Interstate 80 Westbound at mile marker 112 in Morris. It was in the possession of Jose L. Herrera Jr. The money was determined to be subject to forfeiture under one or more of the provisions of the Money Laundering Article (720 ILCS 5/29B-1), which includes the forfeiture provision by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said that the way the laws are set up, the attorney general’s office will receive the prosecutor’s portion, because they have oversight on the case.

“Grundy County doesn’t have the resources to investigate to see if the mon-

ey is from drug activity or money laundering, especially if it is outside state lines,” Helland said. “Our office doesn’t have an investigator.”

Helland said that when there are stops on Interstate 80 in Grundy County where drugs and money are both found on the person, the case could be tried locally without going to the attorney general. But with the case involving money laundering, there was just no way to handle it within his office.

The owner or interest holder in the money must, in order to preserve any rights or claims to the property, file a proper verified claim with the Office of the Illinois Attorney General’s Statewide Grand Jury Bureau in Chicago within 45 days of the effective date of the notice, which ran in the Morris Herald-News on Jan. 19 and 26, as well as on Feb. 2.

As of press time, the Attorney General’s Office did not respond to phone calls to see whether a claim had been filed.

New youth center director brings diversity to Morris

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – The new Christian Youth Center of Morris director Brad Underwood began his position mid-February and is spending time getting to know the teenagers at the center, as well as the volunteers and the community in general.

The CYCM is a nonprofit youth center downtown that offers Tuesday evening programs for area junior high and high school students.

Underwood brings an interesting background to his new job. Growing up in Dallas, he graduated from Baylor University, then began working in the nearby city of Waco in an office job. It wasn’t long before he knew that particular type of employment was not right for him.

“I think I was dissatisfied with an 8-to-5 job in an office where I never saw the light of day,” he said.

God strong in his heart, he decided he needed a place where he could work, pray and listen for direction for his future. Underwood then began working at a Mennonite farm outside Waco, where he milked goats, collected pecans, worked vegetable gardens and sold the produce and milk for the farm.

“It was in the monastic tradition of Christians who balanced their days with labor and prayer,” he said.

From there, Underwood moved to North Carolina and earned his Master of Theological Studies degree at the Duke Divinity School. That’s also where he met his wife, Laura Wilson Underwood, who is now associate pastor at the First United Methodist Church in Morris.

Wilson Underwood moved to Morris in July 2015, and her then-fiancé followed her here a year later.

“I was looking for something in the area,” Underwood said. “I had experience working with youth at my last ministry job (as youth minister at Lamberth Memorial Church in North Carolina).”

When he saw the open position at CYCM, he thought it would be the perfect job for him.

“I liked the potential of the place and the uniqueness of it,” he said. “I thought it would be a good place to spread the good news of Christ.”

Underwood said he also appreciated the work that the board, volunteers and previous directors had done with the center.

a lot of time getting to know the kids and the volunteers and the community.�

Currently, Underwood leads Tuesday night get-togethers at the Christian Youth Center. From 6:15 to 8:30 p.m., junior high and high school teens meet at the center for supper, free time, game time, a short Bible study led by Underwood and small group discussions.

His vision for the center is to be a place that serves all of the youth of

Morris, both the churched and the unchurched. “It’s a place where they can grow spiritually,� he said. “To figure out what God wants of them. They will find there are leaders here who care about them.

They will find wisdom and encouragement and advice, as well as friends. ...

It’s a place where kids can come and discover their gifts and goals and just be a kid in a Christian environment.�

The CYCM is located at 508 W. Illinois Ave. in downtown Morris.

Its website is www.cycmorris.com.

The center is currently looking for volunteers to help with and expand the program.

The center’s annual banquet is Friday, April 7, at the First Christian Church, 455 W. Southmor Road in Morris. The doors open at 6 p.m., and the banquet begins at 6:30 p.m.

Yorkville attorney Daniel J. Kramer, representing Delaney, said it would be better to have a supervised range. He pointed to the 33 conditions that would restrict the use in the special use zoning.

Kramer said there is “a need for this type of facility in the community.�

Kramer also said that the courts have ruled that a special use request should be granted if the conditions are met. “Popular or unpopular, pleasant or unpleasant, the Illinois courts have said if a governmental body takes upon itself to give that checklist and you go through that checklist and the applicant can make and comply with each of those provisions, then it’s a ‘must’ not a ‘may’ or granting the special use,� he said.

at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 10, at the County Office Building, 111 W. Fox St. in Yorkville. The committee will then forward its recommendation to the full County Board.

Robert Delaney is proposing a 24-lane shooting range on his approximately 30-acre property. The range would have berms and be subject to 33 conditions under the special use zoning, according to information from the county. One of those conditions is that pistols will be the only firearms allowed to be used at the range. Delaney currently uses the property for private shooting for friends and family, although residents at the meeting claimed that it was being used for classes as well.

At the meeting Monday, resident Greg Peterson, whose property adjoins the proposed shooting range site, voiced a vari-

ety of concerns, including the potential sharing of his driveway with the shooting range, noise issues and traffic from trucks hauling material for berms on the property. Peterson said he was also concerned about the effect of lead on a nearby pond, which he said was near his well.

Delaney bought the property at auction from Peterson’s family.

Peterson presented a petition to Werderich that he said was filled with 45 signatures of nearby residents. “Mr. Delaney has shown by his actions a willingness to skirt the regulations and shove this gun range down our throat,� Peterson said.

Whitewillow Road resident Joe Phillips said he was concerned the shooting range would bring down his property values and those of his neighbors. He also claimed that the current range is situated so people are shooting right at his property.

Phillips said he recently called the sheriff’s office when those using the

Channahon Park District’s Daryl Cole retires after 27 years

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent When Daryl Cole began his position as superintendent of parks, the Channahon Park District had five parks in town – Central, Community, Ridge, Bluff and Al Wood Parks.

Today, 27 years later, as Cole retires as superintendent of park planning at the end of March, Channahon has 28 parks. Some are traditional neighborhood parks with playgrounds, others are more natural for those who desire to watch nature or are just trying to relax and get away from it all.

Cole loves them all and has one in particular he enjoys for times when he needs to destress: the picnic grove at the 122-acre Community Park.

“I loved going up there and just sitting in nature when things got hectic,” he said.

Cole applied for the position when he and his wife got tired of the increasing congestion around Carol Stream, where he worked for that town’s park district. He saw a parks position open in Channahon and was delighted at what he saw there.

“There were no traffic lights,” he said. “It had the I&M Canal, the Des

Plaines River. ... it was much smaller.”

He also could see the potential of the park district and was looking forward to having a hand in the construction of the aquatic center, the golf course and Arrowhead Center.

The Coles had two young children at the time, ages 1 and 3, and they also had heard positive things about the grade and high school districts in town. It was a good fit, he said. He took the job, and within the year, he and his family had settled there.

“Daryl has literally left his footprint on hundreds of acres of park land and development,” Channahon Park District Executive Director Chuck Szoke said. “He was a great guy to work with and well-respected by the rest of the staff.”

Szoke said perhaps the capstone of Cole’s career at the CPD was Community Park Prairie Wetland, which is a 55-acre site at the western end of Community Park, just south of the I&M Canal and connecting to the canal trail.

Cole supervised the creation of the park and its trail-cutting, interpretive signage and observation deck.

“Daryl really stewarded that entire project,” Szoke said, “from literally nothing to this very important part of Community Park. We are very excited.”

At the recent park board meeting, commissioners named the system of trails there as “The Daryl Cole Trail System.”

“He will be very missed,” CPD Superintendent of Recreation and Facilities Kristin Knutson said. “Daryl was heavily involved with park operations.

He was very involved with every playground we have in the community. ...

He’s very thorough, very detail-oriented, and very involved with safety. ...

He really loved the community.”

Cole said the park district has active recreation, such as the many programs it offers, and passive recreation, which include the parks and trails.

He loves the neighborhood playground parks, spread throughout the community. They are well-used by children and are safe places to get them out of the house for some exercise and fun, he said.

One of the newer park acquisitions is Arroyo Trails, which was begun as a small senior residential community until the developer went bankrupt, he said, and the land was eventually turned over to the park district.

“It’s a natural ravine,” Cole said, “and we’re going to put a 1-mile-long trail down in there. It’s nice because you’re really down in nature.”

Another new site is in McGowan Woods, along the DuPage River. It was a site that would flood frequently, he said. Will County bought the property with a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant and donated it to the park district. There will be fishing, picnic areas and possibly a boat launch at the park.

Being outside boosts your spirit and lowers your stress levels, Cole said.

His favorite passive park is Community Park, which is surrounded by nature. He also loves Central Park, which is an active park with ball fields, the pool and a skate park.

The park district works to make each park distinctive and has meetings with area residents to get their visions of what they want new parks to be.

There are a couple of neighborhood parks (Diamond Park and Swifton Park) with sand volleyball, he said, at the request of neighbors around the parks.

Cole said he’s loved his job.

“It was rewarding to see the things that got done and seeing people use them,” he said.

The best parts, he said, were working with the staff and the high school and college summer help. The district has a good board of commissioners, too, he said, and a great executive director, which has led to a stable environment.

Cole said he plans on making good use of his retirement, taking his dog for walks, riding his bike around town, gardening, camping and traveling.

Minooka officers honored for live-saving actions MINOOKA – When you say Minooka’s finest (meaning police officers) are pretty fine, they have the facts to back that up.

Six patrolmen and two sergeants recently received life-saving awards, and Officer Kiedra Meece was named Officer of the Year by her peers.

Meece started with the Minooka Police Department as a patrol officer. She was promoted to detective and worked in investigations for five years, but just recently opted to go back out on patrol. She has 17 years of police-work experience.

Meece’s peers chose her to represent them as Officer of the Year because of her involvement in so many areas of the force, Chief of Police Justin Meyer said.

As a detective, Meece was part of the Kendall County Major Crimes Task Force.

She’s a representative of the county TRIAD program, which provides services and information to keep elderly residents safe, and she was the police union president until this past year.

“We were always able to get a contract done in a timely manner [with Meece],” Meyer said.

VIEWS Kris Stadalsky Meece also was honored with a life-saving award for her quick response and action to assist a 70-year-old unresponsive man at the Osco Pharmacy drive-thru in Minooka in 2016.

Meece applied an automated external defibrillator, which got his heart going again. Meyer called Meece one of his most dependable and reliable officers.

Other life-saving awards were presented to officers Staci Kapinus and Renee Parrish for saving a female overdose victim in June 2016 by performing CPR and administering Narcan.

Officer Robert Latz was honored for saving a woman who overdosed on heroin in December 2016 by administering Narcan, a medication carried by Minooka officers to block opioid delivery in the system and reverses overdoses if administered in time.

Officer Christopher Presler and

Officer Kiedra Meece displays the Officer of the Year and life-saving awards she recently received.

Sgt. Matthew Chinski responded to an unresponsive man who was not breathing earlier this year. A heroin overdose was suspected, so Chinski performed CPR and chest compressions. Presler administered Narcan.

In October 2016, Officer Erik Larson and Sgt. Sean Beeler responded to an unresponsive man who was had no pulse. Larson began CPR while Beeler applied an AED, reviving the man.

While the officers and sergeants were acting in the line of duty, their training and prompt and alert actions were what resulted in saving these lives, Meyer said to each of them.

A new public act put into effect last April, requiring first responders to carry Narcan, was implemented in Minooka as well. Carrying the medication has resulted in saving the life of five residents in one year, Meyer said.

“It’s not just the Narcan,” Meyer said. “They had to perform CPR to unresponsive [victims] with no pulse.”

Their dedication to duty, professionalism and commitment to excellence reflects on each of them and the village of Minooka as well, Meyer said.

JOLIET – A variety of hazards await anyone who manages to break into the long-shuttered Joliet Correctional Center – yet it continues to be a draw for vagrants, thrill seekers and tourists.

The old Collins Street prison – famously depicted in the 1980 movie “The Blues Brothers” – has deteriorated extensively since it was closed in 2002.

Although the prison remains a tourist attraction, there are “no trespassing” signs posted around the entrances telling the curious not to venture farther.

Joliet police haven’t been able to prosecute those who trespass until an agreement was approved in March between the city and the Illinois Department of Corrections.

“Now we can enforce it,” Joliet Police Department Sgt. Patrick Cardwell said of the “no trespassing” signs.

Cardwell is one of the Joliet police officers who patrols the outskirts of the prison to ensure there are no violators, such as graffiti artists looking to leave a lasting impression on the crumbling state property.

IDOC patrols the site as well, but

Police: Conditions not safe enough to explore closed Joliet Correctional Center; no trespassing

Continued from page 15 slick with old paint chips, razor wire and busted windows.

The grounds are overrun with tall grass and branches that can disguise other hazards, such as open manholes.

“These aren’t safe conditions to be exploring,” Cardwell said.

They’re also not safe conditions for police or firefighters who are called to the prison when there is a fire or someone becomes trapped, as happened in January when a teenage girl was locked inside a cell. Firefighters were able to free her by breaking through a brick wall with a sledgehammer.

That incident is what helped “light the fire” to get the agreement between the city and IDOC passed, Joliet Chief of Police Brian Benton has said.

“We encourage people to come for the exterior view. … It’s just when they cross over and have that desire to go inside that creates the problem,” Benton said.

Benton said he doesn’t have information on the number of people who trespass into the prison because his officers weren’t able to make arrests.

But with the new agreement, police can tally arrests and get a better picture of how many go inside, he said.

Trespassers are able to get inside by climbing the aluminum ladders mounted on the main building or trees that lead to busted windows, Cardwell said. He said

Raffles

police can’t remove the ladders because they’re state property.

Wilson did not respond to questions about how IDOC is working to further prevent trespassers on the property.

Some of the buildings inside have shown not just deterioration, but also graffiti and vandalism. The pews of the prison’s church are marked with graffiti, and in one of the buildings the floor is strewn with old paper records and furniture.

“Think about what one cigarette butt would do to a building like this,” Cardwell said.

Joliet Fire Chief Joe Formhals said there are “a lot of combustibles” at the prison. When firefighters are called out to the site during an emergency, it’s not like accessing a normal building, he said.

“It’s more of an involved process,” he said.

He said IDOC has helped Joliet with addressing safety issues at the property, such as welding shut some of the access covers on the ground to prevent people from falling in them.

Discussions about redevelopment of the prison have taken place over the years, with local officials trying to make it a tourist attraction or clean it up.

In 2015, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency found dangerous contaminants in the soil and groundwater.

“It’s at the point where somebody needs to get involved and it can’t be out of sight and out of mind anymore,” Formhals said.

Minooka chief in annual report: Policing changing

By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media correspondent

to be our main objective. It is critical that we maintain positive relationships with the members of our community,” Meyer said. “Positive relationships improve confidence in the public and, in turn, improves the quality of life in our community.”

After his report, Meyer presented Officer Kiedra Meece with the Officer of the Year award for 2016, and presented lifesaving awards to officers Meece, Staci Kapinus, Renee Parrish, Robert Latz, Erik Larson and Christopher Presler, and sergeants Sean Beeler and Matthew Chinski.

“I think we know what a wonderful police department we have,” Mayor Pat Brennan said. “I am proud to have not just [village] staff but the police department and public works.

We are very, very lucky in Minooka.”

At the end of the meeting, trustees were asked for a consensus on two items that were not on the agenda relating to the police department remodeling project, which is scheduled

to be complete mid-April.

Village Administrator Dan Duffy advised that he was just informed the flooring could not be completed because there is no vapor barrier, which keeps the humidity above the threshold for application of the epoxy coating, next to the concrete.

An additional $11,000 will be needed to blast the concrete and put in a vapor barrier.

Three additional sprinklers need to be added to the exterior of the building because of obstacles within the concrete walls, and sprinklers in two holding cells and the interrogation room need to be replaced with institutional sprinklers because the current ones can be taken apart and used as sharp objects. The total sprinkler addition is $4,600.

Trustees informally consented to the expenditure after discussion, and the items will be on the April agenda for the change order. Trustee Rudy Martin was absent.

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

FEELING SAD

MINOOKA – In his annual report to the Village Board, Minooka Chief of Police Justin Meyer said modern-day policing is changing from a warrior mentality to one of a guardian mindset to build trust and legitimacy.

Meyer attended the Illinois Police Chiefs Conference this past year and participated in discussions on the changes.

“While police departments are focusing more on treating people with dignity, respect and compassion, Minooka Police Department continues to maintain a strong relationship with the residents and business owners here in the village,” Meyer said.

“The village is fortunate to have the finest men and women each day serving them. I am impressed with the high degree of professionalism, caring and compassion I see from

our officers.”

There was an increase in citizen-generated calls for service in 2016. But one of the department’s two categories of offenses has continued to decrease since 2011. That category includes burglary, theft and aggravated battery and assault, among other crimes.

With an increase in traffic crashes at Ridge Road and Misty Creek Drive in 2015, a reduced speed limit and installation of traffic control signage was proposed to the Grundy County Highway Committee.

The two initiatives reduced crashes from 14 in 2015 to nine in 2016.

The primary cause of traffic incidents remains distracted driving, Meyer said.

To that end, the department will participate in Illinois Distracted Driving Awareness Week, enforcing distracted driving laws at the village’s high-crash intersections.

Police: Dealer had more than 50 bags of heroin in Braidwood

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – Police said an anonymous tip led to the arrest of a heroin dealer Saturday.

Chief Nick Ficarello said officers got a phone call about 10 a.m. from an anonymous citizen who said Brian Kobiela was at a residence in the 200 block of North Walker Street.

Kobiela, 32, of Dwight, was wanted on warrants for delivery of Brian drugs in Livingston and Kobiela Cook counties. Ficarello said one of the Livingston County warrants carries a $1 million bond.

“Officers went over and knocked on the door. A guy answered. They asked if Brian was there. The guy said, ‘Yeah,’ and let the officers come

in,” Ficarello said. Kobiela allegedly had 57 small baggies of heroin in his pockets when he was taken into custody. He also had pills that appear to be prescription medication, Ficarello said.

“Our investigation showed he was planning to flee the state,” Ficarello noted.

Kobiela was arrested on a new charge of delivery of drugs and booked into the Will County jail.

Other charges may be filed once the pills are tested at the state crime lab.

Livingston and Will County sheriff’s deputies assisted Braidwood officers.

“This (bust) happened because another resident does not want heroin activity in this town and passed along information. Thanks (to them) for helping us address this problem,” Ficarello said.

“When I was in first grade, I had the ‘opportunity’ to go to work, emptying wastepaper baskets and sweeping.”

Continued from page 3

on his paper route, and later picked up another side job lighting the gas lamps along downtown streets.

His father, “Art” Hornsby, had four jobs as a teenager, including working in the livery stable and driving the baker’s goods around town Saturday mornings.

His father began “Hornsby’s 5 and Dime” in 1922, later renamed “Hornsby Stores.” He also opened four appliance stores in Morris and other nearby towns.

Arthur began working downtown as a young boy, like his father and grandfather, learning the ins and outs of business in the lively town.

“When I was in first grade,” he said, “I had the ‘opportunity’ to go to work, emptying wastepaper baskets and sweeping.”

Saturday nights, the stores stayed open until their last customer left, which was usually pretty late, Hornsby said, because they had customers until the bars closed. The downtown streets were busy at nighttime back then from people shopping and hanging out with friends and neighbors.

“It was a good community night,” Hornsby said. “There were too many people to be able to sweep the sidewalks. It was like Corn Festival.”

Arthur Hornsby guest speaker at the Grundy County Historical Society

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Morris Rotary Club member Arthur Hornsby presents Joe Schmitz, founder of Operation St. Nick, with a certificate showing his status as a Paul Harris Fellow at the Wednesday night Rotary meeting at the Morris Chop Shop.

During that time, Hornsby said that downtown also had car dealers, and most of the physicians had offices connected to their homes around downtown. There were 12 gas stations all within the downtown area, each

with full service that included lifting the hood and checking the oil.

Dogs would run all over downtown at that time, Hornsby said, including in and out of the businesses.

His own dog, his family discovered,

would make daily trips to the butcher for a bone, then to the jewelry store, where he would take a nap on a leather couch.

People also would rent small freezer lockers downtown to store meat and other perishable food items.

Downtown also had a children’s shoe store, he said, where the owner would have children try on the shoes and step into a box that showed where their toes were positioned inside the shoes. They might have used X-rays to accomplish that, Hornsby said.

By 1955, self-serve had come to some of the stores, and customers were able to pick their items off the shelves themselves. Hornsby said that in high school, he drafted a counter for stores that went from the floor up.

Merchandise went into the counter, he said, which meant items didn’t have to be retrieved from the basement or the back of the store.

UP CLOSE April Election 2017 Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – As of 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Grundy County Clerk Kay Olson said only 10 percent of eligible voters had been to the polls to vote, much lower than expected.

She said overall there hadn’t been too many issues throughout the county, but the office did receive calls about electioneering in Erienna Township, a township where several candidates were running as write-ins.

She said she went to the polling place, where a judge had measured off 100 feet from the entrance, and placed a cone to show those in the parking lot where 100 feet ended.

TOP RIGHT: Morris Community High School senior and National Honor Society member Maria Blanco spent Tuesday working with election judges at the Grundy County Administration building.

TOP LEFT: All those who voted Tuesday were given an “I Voted” sticker to wear showing their participation in the election.

ABOVE: Election judges at Morris 4 and Morris 5 try to stay busy despite the low turnout in voters Tuesday.

MIDDLE LEFT: Despite signs warning against electioneering, the Grundy County Clerk’s Office received several calls alleging electioneering in Erienna Township, said Clerk Kay Olson. When she personally checked, she saw no one in violation.

BOTTOM LEFT: Touch Screen voting machines at the Morris 4 and Morris 5 voting location didn’t see a lot of use by Tuesday afternoon. Election judges reported only 72 people had voted between both by 3 p.m.

Friends come together to start Channahon brewing business

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent

• Thursday, April 6, 2017

CHANNAHON – This spring, Channahon residents who once spent nights together perfecting their home brew beer and wine will share their beer knowledge, as well as that of a brew school graduate, at River Hawk Brewing.

The soon-to-open craft beer brewery was put together by friends Tom Sperling, Tim Engler and Dustin Fryman, all of Channahon, who have brewed together for the past 10 years.

The trio recently hired Ian Pershey of Channahon, who graduated from Brewlab, located in the United Kingdom.

During a brainstorming session on a name, Fryman threw out River Hawk because of the natural landscape and wildlife found around the Channahon area, and it stuck.

The owners wanted to create something local in their community and couldn’t be happier with the location at 24735 W. Eames St. in Channahon.

“We looked for six months, and we knew we wanted a Minooka or Channahon location. After searching, this property became available on Route 6, which was easy to get to, ideal building and we have parking in the front and back,” Fryman said.

The owners hope to open in the next month or two.

The brewery takes up four business fronts and will feature European tavern-style seating with long wooden community tables, where customers can chat with friends and get to know their neighbors while they sip a blueberry wine or porter beer.

A tasting bar will accommodate large groups as they sample any of the 10 to 16 brews and four wines with the brew tanks as a backdrop.

“Our tasting room is larger than most and has a beautiful street view.

We hope to build a sense of community, and with all of us working here, people can inquire about our beers and our story,” Fryman said.

Engler said the brewery was set up with 12 fermenters, which allows for a wide range of beers from a basic lager to a stout.

“If there is a style, we will probably have it,” Engler said.

River Hawk Brewing will remain a place for drinks, but will encourage patrons to have food delivered, or bring food into the brewery. They hope to work with a food truck on weekends to

THE FRUITS OF FRIENDSHIP

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

Ian Pershey of Channahon studied brewing at Brewlab in the United Kingdom and has returned to be the brewer at the new River Hawk Brewery, scheduled to open this spring in Channahon. While the business waits for its brewing license from the state, Pershey boils water to test yeasts at varying temperatures. allow variety.

Pershey said this was his first job setting up a new brewery, which gives him the freedom to brew what he and the owners want to brew. His favorite beer to brew is India pale ale, which is known for its hoppy notes, but he also has knowledge of cask ales because of the location of his schooling and he has experimented with sour beers, which are on trend.

Sperling said once the brewing begins and customers can give feedback on their favorites, the brewery will have its staple beers, but he wants to offer a variety to the customer to keep things fresh.

Sperling, who has made his own wine at home, will make all the wines on site.

“I wanted to also bring people in who don’t like to drink beer, we want to please everybody,” he said.

The owners spared no expense when it came to equipment and qual-

“Our tasting room is larger than most and has a beautiful street view. We hope to build a sense of community, and with all of us working here, people can inquire about our beers and our story.”

Dustin Fryman one of four brewers who run River Hawk Brewing ity of water and ingredients.

A separate room from the brewery houses the reverse osmosis water system, which leaves the water pure so the brewers can begin with a clean slate and add the necessary ingredients to make a clean-tasting beer.

They have also built a lab in order to test what goes into the beer to en-

sure quality. Pershey created his own yeast farm, which he will use when brewing begins, instead of dry packaged yeast.

“We wanted to have a high tech system for the new brewery. We want to have all of the right stuff, for example, the water and yeast, consistent, so we can repeat our batches,” Sperling said.

Until the state approves their license, the owners head to the brewery site after their day jobs to build their business. The crew took up all of the floors and walls and built them back to their specifications. They can be seen cleaning tanks, building tables and putting on the final touches so when they have the license in hand, they are ready to brew.

“We want to be a destination to bring attention to Channahon,” Fryman said. “The idea has always been to have a place to sit down, drink a couple beers, talk, eat and get to know people.”

OPINIONS Symbols of Illinois not inspiring SPRINGFIELD – Not only does the Land of Lincoln have the biggest deficit, the greatest debt, the worst credit rating – we now have the ugliest license plates.

In recent weeks, the new plates have begun appearing on streets throughout the Land of Lincoln.

In fact, a few weeks ago, I pulled up to a stoplight in Springfield and pointed out to my wife a new tag on the car in front of us.

Her reaction: “Yuck! We aren’t going to have to put that on our car, are we?”

Her sentiments were the same as mine.

And we aren’t alone. Chicago Tribune critic Blair Kamin has devoted two columns to how much he despises the new plates.

But Illinois Secretary of State spokesman Dave Drucker is quick to point out that while the plates have received some criticism, a majority of those responding to a Chicago SunTimes poll said they liked the new design.

“I guess it comes down to the eye of the beholder,” he said.

Well, I don’t like what I behold.

First of all, Abraham Lincoln has lost his central spot on the plate. He’s been relegated to the edge with only half his face showing. It is as if he is trying to stay as far away as possible from the Illinois Capitol, which has its dome depicted on the other side.

I can’t blame Honest Abe. Those rascals under the dome haven’t managed to pass a budget for more than two years.

Who would want to be anywhere near them?

The most prominent depiction on the new plates is another emblem of Illinois’ dysfunction: Chicago. The Windy City’s skyline is right behind Abe’s ear.

Not to sound too provincial, but that isn’t my Illinois. Never has been, never will be.

I grew up on a hog farm south of Galesburg and now reside in a village of 600 near Springfield.

Leave it to Secretary of State Jesse White, a product of the Chicago political machine, to impose “his Illinois” on the rest of us.

I don’t want to be driving my Chevy pickup around my community with Chicago emblazoned on its front and back any more than most Chicagoans would want Collinsville’s Catsup

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Scott Reeder Bottle Water Tower on their Priuses and Audis.

It’s Chicago’s corrupt political culture that has driven the Land of Lincoln to the brink of bankruptcy. I don’t need to be reminded every time I climb into my truck.

Other states know how to do a plate right.

Nevada and Colorado have plates showing majestic mountain ranges. Hawaii shows the splendor of a rainbow. Kansas has the beauty of a sunset.

Illinois, on the other hand, has thrown in everything but last week’s leftover lasagna.

In a nod to the rural portions of the state, they even have put in an old-fashioned windmill – the kind most farmers haven’t used for more than 50 years.

One of the first things we did back in 1973, when my parents moved to the farm, was tear down that useless windmill. It was an eyesore. Now, we have them stuck on every new license plate.

At a cost of $5 million a year, the new tags will be phased in over the next decade for most vehicles. Pickup trucks, like mine, will have a longer wait. Drucker said a schedule has not been set up for replating them.

In order to save money, Drucker said, the plates were designed in-house rather than by hiring a graphic design firm.

Talk about pennywise and pound foolish.

What should be a poster for Illinois’ greatness has become an advertisement for its government’s banality.

Instead of the simple elegance of a prairie scene, we end up with a bland smorgasbord of imagery that divides rather than unites and bores rather than inspires.

Should we be surprised by this latest product of state government? No. It’s Illinois. Even our license plates are disappointing.

Economic boot camp prepares community Boot camps historically referred to military activities as soldiers got fit for service, but the term was adopted by the physical fitness world as a way to increase the intensity of a workout and get in shape. Grundy Economic Development Council is using the same analogy of getting fit and ready to be successful in economic development.

The first GEDC Economic Development Bootcamp is on April 27. Attracting new investment and development doesn’t just happen, a community needs to be ready. The GEDC Bootcamp will include presentations from experts in development, utilities and incentives.

The evening promises to be insightful and will provide “boots on the ground” tools for success. The evening starts with Darcie Fankhauser, senior

VIEWS Nancy E. Norton vice president with Ridge Development.

This is the same firm that is developing the very large industrial park on I-55 and Lorenzo Road, and Fankhauser is an important part of its success. Her portion of the evening is titled “Think Like a Developer,” and she will provide insight into what it really takes to make an industrial development work. This includes a market overview, financial benchmarks and dealing with local officials.

Often overlooked but fundamental to success are dry utilities that include

electrical power, fiber and natural gas.

Communities are very familiar with the extension of water and sewer but often neglect the availability of dry utilities until it is very late and costly in the development process.

John McCann from ComEd will present a new program designed to provide financial assistance when power upgrades are required. Jeff Adducci from AT&T will discuss the importance of having fiber at an industrial site.

Certainly the GEDC has seen an increased emphasis on fiber availability and capability on recent site searches.

Joe DelReal from Nicor will complete the dry utilities discussion with information regarding gas service. Never assume that these utilities are on site.

The evening concludes with a discussion lead by Jeff Torricelli,

Torricelli Consulting, regarding the availability of incentives and using them wisely. Locally, property and sales tax incentives are used to attract new development. Torricelli will discuss other state and federal incentives and programs that are available. He will also talk about using incentives to be successful while also protecting local tax payers and communities.

The first GEDC Economic Development Bootcamp promises to be full of information for local community leaders and other professionals interested attracting quality investment to Grundy County. Participants must RSVP to the GEDC at info@gedc.com or by calling 815-942-0163.

• Nancy E. Norton is CEO of the Grundy Economic Development Council.

Family medicine physician joins Morris Hospital Yorkville SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Dr. Shaily Macker, a board-certified family medicine physician, has joined the Morris Hospital Yorkville Campus, 105 Saravanos Drive, Yorkville.

As a family medicine physician, Macker is trained to care for patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors. In addition to diagnosing and treating illness, Macker provides preventive care, routine check-ups, health risk assessments, immunizations, screening tests, and personalized counseling on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. She has a specific interest in preventive care, women’s health, and acute and chronic disease management.

“My goal is to provide excellent, compassionate and personalized care for patients,” Macker said. “Morris Hospital is a close-knit hospital where people know each other and their patients well. Here, people care for each other like family. I feel I will fit in very well.”

Macker attended medical school and completed an internship at Government

Medical College in Surat, India. She completed a three-year family medicine residency at Akron General Hospital in Akron, Ohio. Prior to joining Morris Hospital, Macker practiced as a family medicine physician for more than 11 years, including the last two years at an outpatient setting in Shorewood.

When growing up in India, Macker remembers being fascinated while listening to stories from her aunts who were doctors. Now she realizes those stories were what led her to pursue a career in medicine.

“I was inspired by those stories,” Macker said. “I wanted to do something in my life that would make a positive difference in people’s lives.”

Macker believes in working collaboratively with patients to establish longterm relationships based on trust so that together they can achieve the best possible outcome. She is an advocate for preventive and holistic medicine that seeks to prevent disease or establish treatment plans before long-term complications arise. In particular, Macker has a passion for educating patients on how they

Support

can become healthy, helping them make informed decisions about their health and teaching them how to achieve their health-related goals.

“By the end of the day, that’s what makes me feel satisfied by the work I have done,” Macker said. “My greatest reward is getting to know my patients and gaining their trust. I love interacting with my patients, and I want to become a part of their life so they become part of my life.”

Macker and her husband have a 5-year-old daughter who “keeps us busy and happy,” she said. To schedule a free meet-and-greet appointment with Macker, call 630-553-4600.

The Morris Hospital Yorkville Campus is located on Route 47 just 1.5 miles south of the Fox River Bridge. Services include family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology and allergist physician services, along with walk-in immediate care seven days a week, physical therapy, occupational medicine, laboratory, X-ray, ultrasound and CT scan services. For information about the hospital campus, visit www.morrishospital.org/yorkville.

SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers recognized cardiac sonographer Lanett Eddy of Marseilles as Fire Starter of the Month for March.

Eddy developed a passion for health care as a teenager when she completed her training as a certified nursing assistant at age 16. Today, as a senior sonographer at Morris Hospital, she administers echocardiograms – noninvasive, painless tests that help diagnosis heart conditions in patients of all ages.

Additionally, Eddy has led Morris Hospital in becoming accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL) four different times.

Jori Christensen, Morris Hospital’s director of cardiovascular services and education, says Eddy makes tremendous contributions to Morris Hospital’s echocardiography program.

“In addition to serving as technical director for our ICAEL accreditation, Lanett was hugely instrumental in our recent software upgrade,” Christensen said. “She was our go-to person because of her ability to troubleshoot, think critically and understand the entire process. She’s a phenomenal employee.”

For Eddy, taking on a lead role comes naturally because she loves to learn and she loves to mentor others, whether it’s co-workers, new employees or students.

Eddy also enjoys a stellar reputation with her peers and is described

as being “incredibly hardworking and dedicated to her job, always thinking what is best for patients, and looking into areas we can improve the health care of our patients. She provides excellent patient care and always puts her patients first.”

Christensen agreed: “Lanett is genuine, knowledgeable and compassionate. I continuously get positive feedback from patients who Lanett has cared for.”

Eddy herself admitted that she enjoys helping people and she sees herself as a liaison between her patients and their physician.

“I love having one-on-one time with patients and hearing their stories,” she said. “Sometimes they’re sick, they’re tired and they’re scared. I like to make them feel comfortable and treat them like family – with respect. I want to help my patients feel better in every way I can, because that’s what I am here for. I may not remember their names, but I remember their stories.

And when I see them in the grocery store, they remember me.”

In early civilizations, fire starters were the individuals who had the important job of keeping the flame alive.

As Fire Starter of the Month, Eddy received a Grundy County Chamber of Commerce gift certificate, a Morris Hospital logoed clothing item of her choice, a “Fire Starter” lapel pin and a designated parking spot for the month.

Chicago Peregrine Program to display live falcons at Wilmington presentation SUBMITTED REPORT Get a close-up look at live peregrine falcons and other raptors from 7 to 8 p.m.

Thursday in the Local 150’s William E. Dugan Training Center.

The U.S. Forest Service’s Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington will host the final talk of the 2017 Winter Lecture Series season, and with some

very special guests – live raptors.

Mary Hennen, director of the Chicago Peregrine Program, which is operated out of the Field Museum in Chicago, will present the program.

Much of the focus of Hennen’s talk will be on the threatened peregrine falcon population, which is a component of the ecosystem. Once considered an endangered species and in Illinois from 1951 un-

til 1986, the peregrine falcon population is now past historic levels.

Hennen’s presentation will take us through the recovery of the peregrines in Illinois. As the majority of the population now lives in an urban habitat, learn what it means to live in close proximity to this remarkable bird.

The Local 150’s William E. Dugan Training Center is located at 19800 W. Ar-

senal Road, Wilmington.

To reserve a seat, call 815-423-6370 or email Midewin_RSVP@fs.fed.us.

Midewin volunteer Carol Ference recently put the finishing touches on the 2017 Program Guide, and the annual publication was released March 17. You can read about all of the exciting, informative tours, walks and other educational activities that are planned online.

​DIXON – It was frigid. Hands numbed to the cold, hours before the sun rose.

Yet there was Tom Shaw and one of his closest friends, Jeff Shoaf, a kid brother of sorts, trapping muskrats in the Rock River.

Tom was in high school, and the trapping season ran from early November until the river froze. He raked in about $200 a week – a year’s worth of spending for a teenager in the late 1950s.

He had to figure out different ways to trap, learned that if you didn’t pull your traps soon enough, the river would freeze, and those $1.50-a-pop contraptions would be lost come the thaw.

Shaw cited that “Tom Sawyer” childhood as a key to his success. It taught him independence and the gratification of going his own way, and touched off a spirit of enterprise. Perhaps most importantly, he and Jeff grew a bond.

More than five decades later, the relationships he’s built are the cornerstone of Shaw’s legacy.

Toward the end of May, the 69-yearold will retire as chief executive officer of Shaw Media, a name that, in some iteration, has belonged to his family since

lence of our people.”

Tall for his age at 13, Shaw’s media career began when he passed for a 16-yearold and was hired by Dixon Publishing Co. He graduated from Dixon High School in 1966 and got his bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1970 from Colorado College in Colorado Springs, then considered the Harvard of the West.

He sold subscriptions to the Colorado Springs Gazette between his junior and senior years. Seeing the start of an arc, the family put him into circulation at the Telegraph.

He quickly moved up to accounting but hit a wall within six months.

“I just wasn’t wired for that sort of tedium,” he said.

MORRIS – Ask most coaches or athletes, and they will tell you that they don’t pay a lot of attention to rankings or polls or that sort of thing.

Morris softball coach Jen Lowery is a little different in her thinking, however.

The Redskins were ranked No. 1 in the state in the season’s initial Illinois Coaches Association Class 3A poll March 27, and she made sure her team knew all about it. After winning three more games last week, the Redskins were still No. 1 in the April 3 poll.

“I let the girls know when the poll came out that we were No. 1,” Lowery said. “They have been working very hard and they deserve to be where they are at right now. Plus, I wanted to let them know that things are different this year. The last two or three years, people looked at our roster and thought of us as young.

Now, we have quite a few seniors, and we have turned from the hunter to the hunted.

“Everyone wants to be the one to take down No. 1, so I wanted the girls to know that everyone is gunning for them and they can’t afford to take a game off.”

The players know that they have a target on their backs, but they view it as more of a badge of honor rather than a burden to carry.

Teams that prefer to be the leaders of the pack generally have strong leadership, and the senior class for Morris is providing that in the season’s early stages. Abby Burns, Janelle Brehm, Melissa Benson, Jasmine Cook, Ryan Friend and Allison Kukman are the seniors on the team.

“We kind of like having that type of pressure,” Brehm said. “We know that everyone wants to beat us even more since we are No. 1, so we know we have to show up ready to play every game.”

Abby Burns, another senior who is serving her last tour of duty in a Redskins uniform, is ready to make her permanent mark on the program as well.

“It’s been a fun year already,” she said. “It’s hard to believe it’s my last year here, so I want to make it as memorable as possible.”

Morris stormed out of the gate with 10 wins in its first 10 games, and it wasn’t like they had padded their early-season schedule with a bunch of patsies to make their re-

Included are wins over a perennially strong Class 4A program in Plainfield Central, Class 3A fourth-ranked Montini, Class 3A No. 18 Joliet Catholic Academy and Class 2A No. 4 Herscher, among others.

This is before heading into a Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference schedule that will feature games against Class 4A DeKalb and Class 3A No. 6 Sterling.

“We wanted to play a tough schedule,” Lowery said. “It makes us better to see good teams as often as possible. Between the nonconference schedule we’ve had and the number of quality teams will see in our conference, we should be pretty prepared when the regionals and sectionals come around.”

Morris has been able to win in all sorts of different ways as well.

From a 1-0 nail-biter against Plainfield Central and ace pitcher Brooklyn Daly to Saturday afternoon’s 16-0 thumping of Willowbrook, Morris’ wins have run the gamut from tight game to blowout. The Redskins have proven to have firepower throughout the lineup, as the Willowbrook game proved.

In the second inning, Benson,

batting ninth in the order, led off the inning by reaching on an error.

What followed with a string of nine straight hits, one by everyone in the starting lineup.

The barrage started with a tworun homer by Brehm, who has batted everywhere from leadoff to fourth so far this season.

Burns and Rachel Trader singled, follwed by back-to-back doubles by Ashley Phelps and Friend. Cook and Olivia Schultz then each singled, as did winning pitcher Gigi Corban, before Benson belted a three-run homer to right-center.

Brehm popped out before Abbey Moore, pinch-hitting for Burns, homered to center, Bayli Doss singled and Phelps followed with a single off the left-field fence that was hit so hard that Doss could only reach second as the ball bounded back to the Willowbrook outfielders.

And, if what most softball experts say is true and pitching is the name of the game, then Morris is pretty well set there, too. Burns is on the mound for the fourth straight year, bringing invaluable experience to the circle every time out.

When she needs a rest, Lowery calls on Corban, who may not yet

have the poise and control of Burns, but can overpower just about any lineup she faces as she averages about two strikeouts an inning.

“We know what Abby brings, but she has really been sharp to start the season,” Lowery said. “She mixes up her pitches and locations very well and she has been hitting her spots great. Gigi has a little more velocity and it’s nice to bring her in as a change of pace. She will only get better as the year goes on and she pitches more, so we feel pretty good about that rotation.

“We have a good mix of girls. They have been kind of waiting for this year, when the senior class and junior class could mix. Add in a couple of sophomores and we have a good group. These girls all get along well, too, which is a good thing. When we have down time, they are hanging out together and having fun. There hasn’t been any fighting among any of the girls on the team, which can be a problem sometimes, but not with this group.”

All in all, it is shaping up to be a special year for the Morris softball team, the kind that may end up playing in Peoria, the site of the Class 3A state finals.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers Rock Lake. It is quite simple.

In fact, it looks so unimpressive that you might wonder whether it really works.

To create your own Ned Rig, first find yourself a mushroom, or button, jig head.

Ned Rig aficionados prefer light weights in that 1⁄32 ounce to 1⁄8 ounce range. I have used regular round head and insert tube head jigs when I cannot find those flat-surfaced jig heads.

The next step is to take a traditional stick bait, such as a Yamamoto Senko, Strike King Ocho, Yum Dinger, or any other version.

Take the soft plastic stick bait and break it in half. Now take the shorter version of the bait and slide it onto the button head jig. I prefer to superglue it to the head so it stays

on longer.

That’s it. Simple. You will think I’m crazy, but it works.

This rig does its best work on “do-nothing” banks.

Your typical shoreline that falls under that moniker literally has nothing on it. It is just a plain stretch of bank that appears completely fishless.

The rig should be thrown on lightweight spinning gear to get the maximum distance in your cast.

If you need to use this rig, the fishing conditions are tough and you want to stay as far away from the fish as you can.

A do-nothing bank will often have shad or bluegills cruising on it. Crawfish are also on the loose.

Predators search these plain shorelines but are quite skittish because of the lack of cover to run and hide in.

The Ned Rig is visible to them and they cannot resist it.

When you cast it out, let it sink to the bottom, and then use a pull and drop method.

Be aware of how the fish hit it and you will learn if they want it fished faster or slower.

The Ned Rig does not work well around heavy cover or in situations where you would need to horse a fish out of thick stuff.

It is a finesse rig that should do well around our strip mine lakes before heavy vegetation sets in.

Most strip mine shorelines are void of much cover and could be classified as do-nothing banks.

I fished it for the first time this last weekend and had a bite in the first few casts.

Try it. Mess with it. Let me know what you think.

If you Google “Ned Rig” you will find numerous articles and pictures on how to fish this way. There are even quite a few videos on YouTube.

I look forward to using this setup more as I fish across numerous lakes throughout the Midwest this summer. Good luck.

Every so often, a fishing technique works its way across the nation that is a true game changer.

I think back to venerable setups such as the wacky rig, drop shot and Carolina Rig. I do my best to keep abreast of all the latest and greatest in the worlds of fishing and hunting.

This week I am pleased to tell you about a new fishing technique that has been around for a few years, but is just now making a mainstream push throughout the United States.

It is called the Ned Rig. That name is a tribute to the man who first pushed the fishing style publicly in his outdoor writing.

Ned Kehde has been an outdoor columnist for many years.

He prefers that people not call this style the Ned Rig because he says he didn’t develop it, he just wrote about it.

Kehde prefers to call technique “Midwest Finesse” fishing.

The rig has been around for some time in Kansas and also throughout the Ozarks region, especially Table

Morris baseball scores win over Streator STAFF REPORTS

STREATOR – Solid pitching and timely hitting were the ingredients for the Morris baseball team’s nonconference win over Streator on Saturday.

The Redskins cemented a 2-1 victory.

Dawson Moore, Colin Kingsbury and Michael Metesh for the Redskins (6-2) combined their strengths to allow just four hits, while striking out nine and walking two.

Morris took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second when Metesh walked and later scored on a hit by Danny Borgstrom.

In the third, Jared Lines doubled and scored on a hit by Metesh to give the Redskins a 2-0 lead. Streator scored its lone run in the bottom of the third, but could not push another run across the plate as the Morris pitchers held the lead the rest of the way.

Other hits for the Redskins came from the bats of Kam Dransfeldt and Andy Peters.

Plainfield East 1, Coal City 0 (11 innings): In a classic pitcher’s duel, both

teams combined for just 10 hits in 11 innings as the Coalers saw their record fall to 5-3. Coal City starter Blake Harseim allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five in eight innings.

Jake Brnca threw three innings, allowing two hits, five walks and a run while fanning nine. Dan Phillips had two of Coal City’s four hits, with Har-

seim and Zack Nolan each adding a hit.

Seneca southern trip: Seneca recently traveled south to the Carbondale area during Spring Break, playing four games and finishing the trip, 0-4.

Last Monday, Seneca dropped an 11-0 decision to Pleasant Plains. Ashton Harty suffered the loss on the mound, while Sam Grushkin was 1 for 2 with a double. In a 4-2 loss against Zeigler-Royalton-Christopher, Seneca pitcher Hunter Simon struck out seven in five innings and went 2 for 3 with a solo home run.

Uriah Tobolsky was 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI. The Irish then dropped an 8-3 decision to Massac County on Wednesday. Grushkin suffered the loss, allowing seven runs and striking out six in 31⁄3 innings.

Simon and Colt Aldrich were each 1 for 3 with an RBI to pace the offense.

In the second game Wednesday, Goreville tripped Seneca, 6-4. Simon was 2 for 2 with an RBI and four stolen bases, while Truman Daggett went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Zach Zilm took the loss.

“These were four games against four talented teams,” Seneca coach Kirk Houchin said. “We gained experience for both our pitchers and batters.

The level of competition should better prepare us for the upcoming conference schedule and the solid nonconference teams throughout our schedule.”

The Cubs fully expect to return to the postseason this year, Sunday’s result notwithstanding. As an aside, the Cubs have reached the point with their fan base much as the Boston Red Sox have done. In other words, reaction to any one win or loss can make it seem like the team plays 162 seasons a year, not 162 games.

Over the upcoming 161 seasons, er games, the Cubs’ identity will develop.

After an off-day Monday, the Cubs and Cardinals will resume their three-game series Tuesday night at Busch Stadium.

“Every year an identity emerges, a new challenge emerges,” team president Theo Epstein said. “Every year you face adversity in baseball. We didn’t find out what ours was until the third game of the season last year. It started to reveal itself. The same thing will happen this year. There is no lack

WHITE SOX NOTES

Narvaez makes his father proud for starting Opening Day

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CHICAGO – When catcher Omar Narvaez learned White Sox manager Ricky Renteria was giving him the nod to start on Opening Day, his first text went to his father, Omar Jose Narvaez.

“He was so proud of me, because he played a little baseball, too,’’ Narvaez said Tuesday. “My family, they all played

baseball, even my grandpa. My entire family is huge proud.’’

Narvaez, 25, made a quick climb to the majors after the Sox snagged him from the Rays in the minor league portion of the 2013 Rule 5 draft. He handled pitchers well enough and hit .267 with a .350 on-base percentage over 34 games last season, including 30 starts, after the Sox called him up in early July.

Geovany Soto, 34, returned in the off-

season to provide a veteran presence in a catching platoon that figures to see the left-handed hitting Narvaez get a sizable chunk of work. It all started with catching Jose Quintana on Opening Day, which is a big deal to Narvaez, too.

“It’s something that I dreamed about and now it comes true,’’ he said. “I just have to do my best.’’

Narvaez said his father was floored because “he never imagined I would catch

the first day. He assumed I would make the team but not as the No. 1 guy [for the opener].’’

Quintana pitched to a 3.15 ERA in his five starts caught by Narvaez last season, almost at his norm for the season (3.20), compared with 2.37 with Dioner Navarro behind the plate in 15 games and 4.32 with Alex Avila catching. Quintana pitched to a 2.70 ERA in 10 games caught by Soto in 2015.

ST. LOUIS – The 2015 Cubs found their identity during an August sweep of the San Francisco Giants. They then went on to the National League Championship Series.

Last year’s team identity evolved over time, but it was shaped by Kyle Schwarber’s knee injury during the first week of the season and a slump before the All-Star break. That team had more than enough wherewithal to overcome those two challenges and go on to win the World Series.

This year? Although the Cubs have brought back essentially the same cast of characters from last year, team identities always change.

“This is a new journey, a new group,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said Sunday before the Cubs lost their season opener, 4-3, to the Cardinals. “I know we’re pretty much all the same, but it’s completely new.

“This is Game 1 of 162-plus. We’ve got to find out our identity again this year the same way we did last year and the year before. You come together. Obviously, we want to win the division

of urgency or freshness or desire out there. Once we get into the rhythm of the season after Opening Day, it will feel normal, and we’ll have our 2017 identity.”

The team chemistry has changed with the departures of Dexter Fowler (to the Cardinals), Travis Wood, Jorge Soler, David Ross, Aroldis Chapman and Jason Hammel, and with the additions of Jon Jay, Wade Davis, Brett Anderson and Koji Uehara.

But the core group of Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Jason Heyward, Addison Russell, Ben Zobrist, Javier Baez and others is back, and Schwarber expects a full and healthy season.

“I know it’s not good for storylines, but this group of guys needs no motivation, they need no maintenance or management,” Epstein said. “They’re self-starters. They’re totally connected, really selfless, hungry to win. We’re lucky to have this group of guys. They run themselves. They want it bad.

They’ve put a ton of work in during the offseason. It was a great spring training.

They’re going to do all the little things to get the most out of their ability as a team – emphasis on team. We’re just lucky to be here while this is going on.”

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER sion, which can indicate concussion.

The researchers concluded that while heading the ball increased a player’s risk of concussive impact, accidental contact, like an elbow to the head or colliding with another player, was even more common.

Research into sports-related concussions has previously focused on football and hockey, where bruising impacts are part of the game. Now, scientists are expanding their inquiries into soccer.

Soccer is the world’s most popular team sport. It is estimated that amateur players head the ball up to 12 times per game. Add in practice drills, and this can add up to 2,000 headers over 20 years. The question now is whether the effect of all those headers on the delicate structures of the brain can be cumulative.

For the authors of the American study, the answer was yes. They recommend that players be aware of any concussion symptoms, even absent a conclusive concussion diagnosis. Should symptoms appear, players must avoid another collision in the following weeks, when the risk of another concussion spikes significantly.

The truth is, all physical activity carries both risks and benefits. One thing we discuss with our patients regarding soccer is the risk of knee injury, given the high lateral impact forces.

It sounds as though your husband is staying abreast of the latest research, which is wise. He can use it to decide how – and even whether – he decides to play soccer in the future.

Dear Doctor: My husband, who plays in a weekend soccer league, is troubled by some new reports he has read that suggest that soccer might be as dangerous as football. Can you explain the studies?

Dear Reader: Your husband may be referring to a pair of studies published in February that examined the potential risks of heading the ball, a common move in soccer.

One study, conducted at a British university, found signs of brain damage in a group of professional soccer players, all of whom had decades-long careers. The other study, published by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, focused on amateur players. The study found an increased risk of concussion both from heading the ball and from accidental contact during a game. But before you insist that your husband turns in his cleats, let’s take a closer look at the data.

The British study examined 14 retired soccer players with dementia. The men, skilled at heading the ball, played for an average of 26 years each. When the brain tissue of six of the players was examined after their death, researchers found signs of trauma.

In four of the six brains, this included chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive degenerative disease also found in professional boxers, football players and hockey players. Although the small sample size of the British study kept researchers from drawing conclusions, they agreed the results reveal the need for large-scale studies.

In the American study, researchers followed 222 amateur soccer players, both men and women. Players reported how often they headed the ball, as well as any accidental blows to the head during play. They also rated the severity of symptoms like headache, dizziness, altered vision, weakness or confu-

7 p.m. on + WTTW Call the Midwife Mixed emotions greet a birth in the new “Episode 2” of Season 6, since the Nonnatus House staff knows the baby might not survive. Patsy (Emerald Fennell) becomes particularly wrapped up in the case while also trying to deal with a personal dilemma.

An explosion at the docks prompts Shelagh (Laura Main) to show what she’s made of professionally. Sister Ursula’s (Harriet Walter) edicts continue to ruffle feathers. Jenny Agutter also stars.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Making History There’s been no shortage of time-travel series lately, but this one takes a comedic approach to trekking through the years. The “Pilot” introduces Adam Pally (“Happy Endings”), “Gossip Girl” alum Leighton Meester and Yassir Lester as the trio who venture to and through various eras — and Meester’s character is the daughter of legendary horse-rider Paul Revere, so the show turns people from both the past and present into strangers in strange lands.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Madam Secretary A popular young actress (guest star Julia Nicole Schlaepfer) teams with Elizabeth (Tea Leoni) to try to convince a foreign leader to oppose human trafficking in the new episode “Good Bones.” However, the effort could backfire, and at a big cost to an American captive. Henry (Tim Daly) locates the bomb that a cult intends to use.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ Chicago Justice The sudden death of a juror in a case tried

by Stone (Philip Winchester) leads to the hunch that her “guilty” vote was the reason in the new episode “Lily’s Law.” However, the consequent investigation reveals that her ex-boyfriend had been harassing her via the Internet, which ultimately drove her to suicide. Stone then seeks a murder conviction against him. Jon Seda, Carl Weathers, Joelle Carter and Monica Barbaro also star.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Home Fires on Masterpiece Pat and Marek (Claire Rushbrook, Alexandre Willaume) debate what to do about their growing attraction to each other in the new “Episode 2” of the drama’s second and final season. Frances (Samantha Bond) is shocked by a revelation when Peter’s will is
