subscription service upgrades soon

Over the months since I have moved to the area, I have been able to meet a lot of readers and community leaders. I have learned about the area’s history, its power brokers and the issues that are important to the community.

I also have learned about how people read our content, and how they feel about it.

One piece of feedback I heard then, and have heard repeated since, is that it’s really hard to read our website.

It’s not unique to us, but we had pop-ups and autoplay videos and surveys and links at the bottom of stories that ... well ... aren’t news.

That’s where the good news comes in.

That stuff will be gone.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll see continued improvements to our website, including a new e-edition and redesigned website.

VIEWS Jon Styf If you prefer to read us in a printlike format, we have you covered with an improved e-edition, too.

We want to reward our loyal subscribers with more value and less intrusion as you come to us to read news.

In addition, starting next month, subscribers will receive The Neighborhood Tourist, a premium local, glossy magazine featuring all the best things to see and do in and around our area. With your membership, you will receive up to four Neighborhood Tourist magazines a year.

Along with these improvements, we’re revising our subscription plan.

Office is closing, but we are very much still here Each week in the newspaper, and every day on our website, our goal is to bring you the most local news possible.

It’s the core of what we do here, and my biased opinion is that Heidi Litchfield and Rob Oesterle do a tremendous job making that happen.

That’s why, when changes have to be made, we try to make those changes have the least possible effect on the amount of local news we bring you.

On April 21, our office in Morris will be closing.

After that, we are beginning a partnership with the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Although it remains best to do business such as subscription payments through our customer service representatives, who can be reached at 800-397-9397, we also will have a kiosk available at the Chamber, starting April 24, where those items can be securely dropped off.

VIEWS Jon Styf Our staff will be working with the Chamber, and many times working in the office at 909 Liberty St. in Morris, going forward. But our main office for business will be a 2175 Oneida St. in Joliet, where some of the Morris staff will be moving.

Heidi and Rob, however, will remain mobile reporters in the community, the same as they have been for several years.

If you are looking to reach us for a story or pass along a press release or event listing, the best way to send that information will continue to be sending us information in plain text to news@morrisherald-news.com. You also can call my office at 815-280-4119.

The more usable format you send that information to us in, the less time we have to spend typing those items and the more time we can spend working on writing about news that affects you and the community.

If you need to send a notice via fax, that number will be changing to 815729-2019.

What’s important for the community to know is that, although our office in Morris is closing, we are not leaving the community.

Our presence remains there, our reporters remain there, and we will continue to cover the community with the same pride and journalistic vigor as we have always had.

Morris Community High School superintendent, high school friend restart band

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The year was 1977, and Roger Hoegger of Dwight invited fellow high school student Pat Halloran over to his house to help form a band. Today, the two are at it again, playing in area bars and eateries, reliving some of their favorite classics from their high school days.

“Roger had a guitar and an amp in his bedroom and a microphone,” said Halloran, now of Coal City. “He invited me over because he knew I liked to sing.”

The rest was high school history.

They said that there was another popular area high school band at the time named Desert Heat, and a classmate jokingly said they should call themselves Mountain Chill. After adding some more band members, they were then known as Mountain Chill.

“It’s funny because if you look back in our yearbooks, Mountain Chill is listed as the favorite band by many of the students,” Halloran said.

Their senior year, they were even asked to play a gig at a local high school, where they sang their two most requested covers, “Long Train Running” and “Sweet Home Alabama.”

Today, Halloran has a “Dr.” in front of his name and works as the Morris Community High School superintendent, and Hoegger is a buyer for a metal fabricator. Both are respectable jobs, they said, but are not nearly as much fun as belting out their favorites live on a stage.

During past years, they’ve met up at Christmas and also held reunions while they were in college. They’ve played at Gardner Days – but then they became adults, with families and careers. Hoegger continued playing professionally, while Halloran, for the most part, hung up his microphone, with the exception of singing in six musicals and performing the national anthem.

“Halloran said that he received a call from Hoegger about a year ago.

“When Roger called, I had no idea what he wanted. Then he asked if I was interested in singing with him again,” Halloran said.

Hoegger said he knew Halloran had it in him if he could just steer him to the right music, the music he knows and likes.

Halloran said it’s Hoegger who is the creative genius who can play a six-

string or a 12-string guitar and can listen to a song once and pick it up. He has to work much harder to get to where Hoegger is.

The duo started off practicing at Hoegger’s home, where the guitar and amp have been replaced by professional equipment, and Halloran realized how fun singing with his old partner was again.

“I’m proud of where we’ve come,” Hoegger said. “I took Pat out of his comfort zone and, when everything comes together, it comes together.”

The two started off practicing several times a week until they hit the point they were ready to go public. They’ve been playing publicly ever since in local bars and eateries.

Halloran said that whenever he isn’t sure how a song goes, Hoegger starts to play and he doesn’t have to worry about it because their backup singer, Krissy Hoegger, Roger’s wife and originally a resident of Morris, kicks in with vocals from the sound booth where she helps run the show.

Channahon school, park district, extension collaborating on kids’ garden

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent Students at Three Rivers School in Channahon, along with children enrolled in Channahon Park District day camps this summer, will get the opportunity to dig in the rich soil to plant, water, weed and harvest vegetables this spring and summer in a joint project of the District 17 school, the park district and the University of Illinois Extension master gardeners program.

It’s the first time the three governmental entities are coming together for the project, and Three Rivers Principal Susan Kavich is excited about the possibilities.

“In addition to everything, they are going to learn about gardening,” Kavich said, “I think they will also get a better appreciation for our environment and all of the aspects of growing your own food naturally.”

Three Rivers sixth-grade teacher Nicole Gubbins and fifth-grade teacher Kathy Hibler will start the gardening project with their students in late March, planting the seeds in pots inside the school.

They will have the chance to learn what vegetables grow well in our area, what kind of potting soil they like, how much sunshine and water it takes to grow the seedlings and even a little about nutrition and why eating fresh vegetables is good for them.

At the end of the school year, the students will hand their little plants over to Jackie O’Hara, program coordinator at the park district.

The plants will be transplanted into raised garden beds just outside the swimming pool’s fence. O’Hara wasn’t sure of the exact site at this writing.

Then, the park district’s summer day camp students will try their hand at growing the greens. The camps involve students from kindergarten up through high school.

They will be able to spend the summer watering and weeding the garden and harvesting the vegetables when they are ready.

The Three Rivers students can come and visit the garden anytime during the summer, as well, O’Hara said, to water or weed or pick some produce to take home or sample right there.

“I helped weed them and made sure they got watered,” Kapple said of her family’s garden.

Gubbins, a gardener herself, said there are many lessons her students will be able to learn from the project.

“Anytime you can teach them the connection between what’s in the refrigerator and the store and where it comes from,” she said. “I think sometimes we forget that.”

The program is part of a threeyear Will County Partners for Healthy Gardening grant.

“This is something I’m passionate about,” O’Hara said. “Kids learning about healthy eating and getting in and digging and learning where our food comes from.”

She thinks they will plant tomatoes, cucumbers and maybe some beans, among other veggies.

“If we can show them how to grow a radish, how to eat a radish and even some fun things to do with a radish like carving it to make a rose,” she said, “then you can instill a willingness for them to try new fruits and vegetables. . . Instead of eating chips for lunch, you can eat carrots. And we’ll teach them why you would want to eat carrots.”

Some of the Three Rivers students who will be involved in the project, along with other Channahon children, met recently at the park district to talk about gardening.

Katelyn Bucciarelli said she’s grown flowers and vegetables at her grandmother’s house and enjoys doing it. She said she enjoys eating tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini.

“I like the pretty flowers and the tasty vegetables,” she said.

Kids embark on YMCA Easter egg hunt

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent Two-year-old Gage Cook of Morris stood on the sidewalk with just his tiptoes in the grass as he patiently waited to hear the word “go,� which would signal him to grab all of the pink, yellow, blue and green eggs he had spotted hidden in the grass. “I will find five eggs,� Gage said. “Go� was shouted on the loudspeaker, and nearly 300 kids rushed the fields around White Oak Elementary on Sunday in hopes of gathering as many toy and candy filled eggs as possible, as well as the two golden eggs placed in each age division, which won the child a basket of treats.

Morris YMCA Youth and Family Director Sarah Porzel said the eggs were bought from N.E.T. [National Entertainment Technologies Inc.].

The website netegg.us said the company employs 140 adults with disabilities year-round to fill the eggs with toys and candy.

Katelyn Bachert, 10, of Morris said she liked to collect the eggs to find out what was inside and that her

strategy was to “find the eggs that were close together and scoop them all up at once and put them in my bag.�

Children ages infant to 10 were a part of the second “Afternoon with the Easter Bunny,� hosted by the Morris YMCA and Morris Hospital.

Porzel said that last year, the event was held at the YMCA, but this year’s event location was led with purpose. “We are looking forward to our full facility and White Oak Elementary is adjacent to our land, so this location was purposeful so the community can start envisioning what the YMCA will be offering,� Porzel said. “Dr. Shannon Dudek has been a big supporter and more than gracious to let us come into his building with over 400 people.�

The Morris YMCA received donated land near White Oak Elementary and plans to build a facility in the near future. Plans to include a bike and walk trail from the school to the building.

After the egg hunt, the children were invited inside the school,

After the eggs were hunted and prizes collected, hundreds of children who attended the “Afternoon with the Easter Bunny� event sponsored by the Morris YMCA and Morris Hospital on Sunday, went inside White Oak Elementary for crafts and snacks.

Morris fire district responds to structure fire Sunday night

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District responded to a structure fire, which caused $300,000 worth of damage, in the Nettle Creek subdivision Sunday night.

Fire Chief Tracey Steffes said, from the scene of the fire, that the department believed the fire started in the garage and went into the home. At 10:45 p.m., the firefighters were still working on hot spots.

“There was $300,000 total in damage, $200,000 to the structure and $100,000 to the contents,” Steffes said in a text at 1 a.m. when he also confirmed it was an electrical fire in the garage that started the fire.

One firefighter was injured and transported to Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers, where he was treated and released.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris Community High School District 101 Board voted Monday night to approve a bid to replace three boilers and one tank. The board accepted the second-lowest bid, made by Neuco in Downers Grove, of $42,357.73.

“There was another bid made by John’s Service and Sales Inc. for $40,572, but they didn’t meet bid specifications,” Superintendent Pat Halloran said.

He also said the school previously had worked with Neuco and was pleased with the service provided.

The next step in the boiler replacement will be to bid on the cost of installation. The board previously looked at replacing the boilers, but it was cost-prohibitive, Halloran said.

He said they made some changes in which areas needed the work, including separating the pool area that made the job more affordable. The replacement boilers also are high efficiency models, which should help lower costs.

The board also renewed the technology lease for the 2017-18 school year, and will be working with Providence Capital Funding to secure a $150,000, five-year lease for technology upgrades and updates. Halloran said the upgrades planned will cover three key areas of the Technology Plan, including student-use devices, teacher technology and network upgrades.

“In the first area, we are planning on deploying 200 Chromebooks across the district for students to use in the classroom. These will be in addition to the

COAL CITY – State Rep. David A. Welter, R-Morris, and Rep. Lindsay Parkhurst, R-Kankakee, will host traveling office hours at the Coal City Public Library, which started on Tuesday.

“I want everyone from Mazon to Braidwood to share their views and concerns with us and have the opportunity to use the services my office can provide,” Welter said.

The two representatives share adjoining districts, which both reach into the Coal City area. The library is located at 85 N. Garfield St. in Coal City, which works for both representatives and their covered area.

NUMEROUS OR NO CANDIDATES Some offices had no candidates in recent election; others had many

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The dust is settling after last week’s election, with several races still up in the air until last-minute mailin votes are counted next week.

But most other races – for all intents and purposes – already are determined, with leads likely too large to overcome before the winners are made official April 25.

Still, there are other offices throughout the county for which no one ran.

These include Shorewood village clerk, Wilmington village clerk, a handful of township assessor roles and countless trustee spots on various boards.

At the same time, other races – such as the 15 people vying for just three Joliet City Council seats, the Bolingbrook mayoral race and Lockport Township’s opposing slates – became hotly contested.

Dr. Steven Nawara, an assistant professor of political science at Lewis University, said a couple of factors could play into this disparity of high interest in one office and low interest in another.

Election results Municipalities, school boards and referendums, see Page 14.

For one, people should look at the office itself, he said. In many cases, local government offices are not full-time positions, and, as a part-time role, still can take away from a person’s primary job.

Typically, but not always, the larger the constituency, the more the official gets paid. According to payroll documents, Joliet City Council members are paid about four times more than members of the Morris City Council.

“And sometimes, they’re completely unpaid positions, so you have to get people to essentially volunteer their time,” Nawara said.

He ventures that in Joliet, with a population of more than 145,000 and three at-large council seats open to anyone in the city – as opposed to district or ward races, which limit the number of people

dates in one area versus another is the presence of local political parties.

sessor, candidates probably need a certain level of expertise, Nawara and Schultz Voots said.

“Assessors have to know about tax rates, they have to understand the tax cycle, that’s one of the reasons you don’t see many people running,” Schultz Voots said.

Nawara added an assessor likely needs a background in real estate and valuation.

LADIES!

“Quite frankly, a very small segment of the population is going to have that expertise,” Nawara said. “As for City Council, you could have a whole host of reasons to run – poverty, crime, road conditions.”

The lack of interest in some township races could be a reason why politicians such as Gov. Bruce Rauner have talked of consolidating townships.

Rauner signed a bill in 2015 allowing a

“It’s local parties that are often tasked with recruiting for these offices,” Nawara said. “If you have a vibrant party organization and competition between two parties, you’re more likely to get an influx of candidates.”

Beyond that, the amount of candidates running for an office could come down to the personal motivations of people in the area. While some run for office to help the community, others do it for personal gain, or a mixture of both.

“A lot of people look at local government as a steppingstone, a way to get experience and move on to a higher level of office,” Nawara said. “And it could be both those things. People act like ambition is a bad thing, but chances are, it’s a combination of those two things.”

Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots, whose office handles elections, said she thinks how many people run comes down to the amount of interest in a community.

“Running for office is not an easy thing to do. It’s expensive, and it’s hard to raise enough funds to win,” Schultz Voots said. “And I think people are busy, some people have two jobs and don’t want to take on another responsibility.”

For an office such as township as-

downstate township to dissolve.

“I think they’re trying to analyze the numbers to see if there’s no interest in township government and how much is it spending taxpayer dollars?”

Schultz Voots said, adding it’s not her decision to make.

Nawara said part of the argument for consolidation or elimination of certain townships is that there’s an overlap of services between townships and municipalities.

“It would play out differently depending on how populated the area is,” said Nawara, who lives in an unincorporated area near Plainfield. “I’m not a part of the village, but I get a lot of benefits from the township. But I also recognize that the county would likely provide those services if the township wasn’t there.”

Nawara said those in support of consolidating governments use the rationale that you get a cost reduction while not losing much service, assuming another governmental body would pick up the services.

And with all these empty spots, some people may find themselves in public office in the next few months without ever having to raise a dollar for a campaign.

After the election winners become official, mayors, village presidents, boards and other elected representatives will have to nominate and then vote on candidates to fill positions such as village clerk and township assessor.

said the Gleaners organization believes in helping the 4-H groups and the community.

He said the main Gleaners office gives them money to use to put back into the community and he was glad to help honor the two 4-H leaders.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the nation’s taxpayers received an average tax refund of nearly $3,000 in 2015. This year, while more than 70 percent of tax payers await their hefty refund, Grundy Bank is highlighting five tips to help them make the most out of this year’s windfall.

• Save for emergencies. Open or add to a high-yield savings account that serves as an “emergency fund.” Ideally, it should hold about three-to-six months of living expenses in case of sudden financial hardships like losing your job or having to replace your car.

• Pay off debt. Pay down existing balances either by chipping away at loans with the highest interest rates or eliminating smaller debt first.

• Save for retirement. Open or increase contributions to a tax-deferred savings plan like a 401(k) or an IRA. Where can you get one? Your bank can help set up an IRA, while a 401(k) is employer-sponsored.

• Put it toward a down payment. The biggest challenge that most first-time home buyers face is coming up with enough money for a down payment. If you intend to buy a new home in the near future, putting your tax refund toward the down payment is a smart move.

• Invest in your current home. Use your refund to invest in home improvements that will pay you back in the long run by increasing the value of your home. This can include small, cost-effective upgrades like energy-efficient appliances that will pay off in both the short and long term. If you have more substantial renovations in mind, your bank can help with a home equity line of credit.

MORRIS – Naomi Francois and Andrew Krull Jr. were longtime leaders of the Coal City Community 4-H program and spent many hours sharing their passion for 4-H with the children that came through the program.

Francois, who died in 2012 at the age of 97, spent over 40 years involved with 4-H. Krull, who died in 2013 at the age of 43, spent over 10 years serving the group, never really leaving after being a member himself in the 1970s and 1980s.

“They were long-time leaders,” said Cash Biros of Mazon. “Last year, the club leaders wanted to do a project to honor them and the idea of planting trees in their honor went to the board meeting and passed.”

Ben Biros, Cash’s son, worked hard Saturday morning digging a hole where a Cleveland Select pear tree would go in the ground to replace a tree that was lost last year.

“It’s National 4-H project week, so this is our project,” the younger Biros said.

The 4-H group, with the help of the Sulphur Spring Gleaners, bought the trees at a discount from Spring

Perennials, fruit trees, greens sold by Grundy County

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent Those who think the Grundy County Soil and Water Conservation District’s biannual tree sale is just for farmers who need dozens of tall trees for windbreaks should know that the sale also attracts a good many homeowners who are just looking for a nice front yard tree.

Or some hostas for around the house, or a couple of apple, apricot, cherry, peach and pear trees.

“There’s a lot to choose from,” said Brooke Baker, the district’s administrative coordinator and resource conservationist.

Buyers need to jump on the sale fast, however, if they don’t want to

wait for next fall’s sale.

Orders are due by Friday, with pickups due by Thursday.

Baker said the idea for the tree sales is all about soil conservation, although people can buy the plants for any reason.

“Conservation is to help keep the soil in the ground without blowing away,” she said. “It helps keep the soil intact, especially on windy days.”

According to agintheclassroom. org, “Erosion is the wearing away of soil by wind and water. When erosion occurs, the topsoil layer is washed or blown away. ... The best way to prevent wind and water erosion is to protect the soil with healthy vegetation.”

Baker said she’s had people buy more than a hundred pine trees for

their country property, with others buying a single bush or tree or a few tall grasses.

Having trees around a house also can help with heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer, she said.

The district’s offerings change a little each spring and fall.

This spring, it is taking orders for the evergreens concolor fir, eastern white pine, Black Hills spruce, Colorado spruce and Norway spruce for $7.50 each, ranging in height from 12 to 18 inches.

Other trees are too numerous to mention, but include redbud, serviceberry, maples, oaks, birches, crabapples, tulip tree and aspen.

Shrubs include burning bush, hon-

eysuckle, cherry, dogwood, lilac and viburnum.

Many will buy the shrubs to make living fences around their yards, Baker said.

The agency also offers several varieties of grasses, perennials and groundcovers, including feather reed grass, prairie dropseed grass, coneflowers, hostas, pachysandra and sedum.

Orders may be placed for the Grundy County Soil and Water Conservation District’s Tree Sale by Friday morning, by calling the district at 815-942-0359, ext. 3, or by visiting 3605 Route 47, Suite B, in Morris.

Plant offerings are listed on the agency’s website at grundycountyswcd.weebly.com.

Chickens are back on the discussion table in Channahon that she has been gathering signatures and information that she will present to the board at its April 17 Keeping chickens in the village of meeting.

Channahon may be discussed again Parshall is in favor of Channahon after resident Jennifer Parshall told ordinances being changed to allow the Village Board on Monday evening residents to raise backyard chickens.

Currently, farm animals are not allowed in the nonrural areas of Channahon.

In the town’s rural areas, residents may keep up to four chickens on a 5-acre parcel.

The issue is a familiar one to

trustees. In November, police directed another resident to remove four chickens from her backyard, citing the specifics of the village’s laws concerning farm animals.

JJC celebrates Earth Month with events

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College will once again highlight environmentalism and sustainability through a series of events for Earth Month.

The celebration of the 47th annual Earth Day on April 22 will continue throughout the month with events that include the Houbolt Road cleanup, a wellness and resource fair, a sustainability expo, recycled art competitions, tours and speakers. The college has shown commitment to sustainability through student activities and infrastructure projects.

JJC professor Maria Anna Rafac said the theme for this year’s Earth Month is “What can you do?”

“How can we be part of the solution?” she said.

And the answers may be found in many of the events being planned, such as the SMHEC Student Sustainability Summit on Friday, the Earth Day Sustainability Expo on April 19, the natural areas and fen tour with JJC professor Andy Neill on April 20 and Jeffrey Bennett, an astronomer who will speak about climate change

April 24.

The Houbolt Road cleanup near the college’s main campus took place Saturday with the Student Sustainability Union and the Helpers of Mother Earth, led by Virgil Kemp. Rafac said students and staff will work on cleaning up properties throughout the road.

“We’ll be trying to clean up the neighborhood,” she said.

On Wednesday, a wellness and resource fair will take place at the college, and a Joliet green drinks event by the Land Conservancy of Will County will take place at Tin Roof Restaurant in Joliet.

The big Earth Day Sustainability Expo will take place April 19 at the college, as well as other events such as free food, giveaways, sustainability movies and crafts.

A March for Science will be April 22 in Chicago. Participants are expected to meet at Union State in Joliet.

“Hopefully, we’ll be able to get our voice out there,” Rafac said.

On April 26, Rafac will give a walk and talk on LEED – or green-friendly – buildings at JJC, and the Arbor Day celebration will occur April 28 with the Student Sustainability Union and JJC

5 Important and Helpful Documents To Have When the Time Comes SPONSORED BY

Earth Month events

There is a significant amount of information needed to plan a funeral, and we would like to share five important documents that can help immensely when preparing your funeral.

1: Birth Certificate - A document to accurately confirm your parents’ names, date and place of birth! This information is critical in filing a death certificate.

2: DD-214 - A veteran must be able to present their DD-214 Discharge paperwork if seeking to be buried in a National Cemetery, such as Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, or to receive military honors.

3: Power of Attorney Paperwork - If you have a legal power of attorney (P.O.A.) attending to your affairs, many of the powers this document instills - cease at time of death. In many cases however, the P.O.A.

document provides a legal directive to whom is appointed to be responsible for executing your funeral arrangements and disposition.

For this reason it may be helpful to keep your copy of these documents in a known place.

4: Cemetery Property Deed - The cemetery deed is important to have on hand not only for the funeral process, but also in securing a cemetery monument or memorial.

Though the cemetery sexton can provide this information, it simplifies matters significantly.

5: Advanced Funeral Directives - Having a copy of your advanced funeral plans may be the most important documents you can leave for your family. Not only will they provide them with your exact final wishes, but, by arranging everything ahead of time, it can help lift some of the stress off their shoulders of having to piece all of the necessary information together at the time of need.

Reeves and Baskerville Funeral Homes have been voted best funeral service in Grundy County and one of the Best of Will County, with locations in Coal City, Gardner, Morris and Wilmington.

JJC board reflects on Klen’s posthumous election win

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – She died March 7, but on Tuesday night, Susan Marie Klen won a spot on the Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees.

JJC board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich said he hasn’t seen anything like this before, but he knew it was possible because Klen was an asset to the college in her previous term from 2009 to 2015.

“This was a reflection of her positive contributions,” Mihelich said.

Susan JJC board President Robert Wunderlich, Klen however, said he was shocked when he saw the voting results. Wunderlich said he wasn’t sure whether people were unaware Klen is deceased or whether it was a sympathy vote. Nevertheless, Klen was a great and qualified choice, he said.

“She was a great person and board member,” Wunderlich said. “As a board member, she gave her whole heart and soul to JJC. She wanted to do the right thing on every level – students, administration, tuition, taxes, sustainability – anything to do with

JJC, she was 110 percent.”

Klen earned 25,999 votes, the second highest among four candidates running for the two-year term, based on unofficial consolidated election results from JJC’s website.

John Mahalik also won a two-year term with 26,395 votes. For six-year terms, Trustees Dan O’Connell and Alicia Morales won seats at 23,838 and 21,689 votes, respectively.

Mike O’Connell came in third after Klen with 24,626 votes, while Margaret Hornung garnered 23,389.

Parshall said she would bring more facts and the petition to the next board meeting for discussion.

Trustees on Monday also approved allowing single-family homes to be built in the subdivision of Woods of Aux Sable on plats originally approved for duplexes.

The duplex concept did not sell well, Director of Community Development Mike Petrick told trustees, and the owner requested that the board change the zoning from R3 multifamily to R1 single family.

The zoning change was approved, as was an ordinance amending the annexation agreement and approval of final plats at the site.

Also at the meeting, Connie Sychowski presented a $500 check to the Channahon Police Department’s K-9 unit on behalf of the Citizens’ Police

Academy Alumni Group.

The alumni raised money for the donation by hosting a recent photo opportunity with the Easter Bunny.

Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher also announced that Youngs Road would be closed April 4 through April 17, for roadwork.

Meanwhile, Wunderlich said that based on information from the board’s attorney and the Illinois State Board of Elections, it appears that when votes are canvassed, Klen will be declared the of-

ficial winner. But she cannot serve, so Mike O’Connell would get the spot.

“We won’t have to appoint him – he’d take over the spot,” Wunderlich said.

“It was a nonpartisan election, but if it was a partisan election, a Republican or Democratic committee would nominate somebody.”

Last-minute mail-in votes still have to be counted, and the voting results become official April 25. The board’s first meeting of May will include a reorganization of the board, as well as a declara-

tion and swearing-in of the newly elected board members, Wunderlich said.

Mihelich said it wasn’t surprising at all to see Klen’s name capture the votes to get elected.

“She was loved within the JJC community, and this was a tribute to her legacy at JJC,” Mihelich said.

Asked about Klen’s decision to run for a board spot again, he said she wanted to serve in that capacity once more.

“She was a public servant and loved students,” Mihelich said.

UP CLOSE Running for a cause Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – The Morris Woman’s Club (MWC) held its annual Superhero 5K on Saturday morning where heroes came out to help raise money for Easter Seals Joliet Region.

Michelle Mitchell, race organizer, 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.

Easter Seals Joliet Region is an agency of the United Way, affiliated with National Easter seals. It is licensed by the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. It is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Programs CARF for the following: Community Services, Child and Youth Services, Personal and Social Services, Foster Family Services, Foster Family Services for Children and Adolescents and Community Living Services The Morris Lions Club, Morris Shriner’s, Kiwanis and Illinois Valley Industries helped with traffic control.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Board approved improvements of several township roads.

County Engineer Craig Cassem said the highway department had approved bid agreements for the items listed below, which the county board approved at its meeting Tuesday: • Hot mix asphalt for Felix Township to “D” Construction for $36,240.10 and for Wauponsee Township to “D”

Construction for $128,068.32.

• Oil and chip pavement for Garfield Township to A.C. Pavement Striping for $14,943.30, for Highland Township to Steffens 3D for $68,864.75, for Maine Township to Steffens 3D for $35,426.40, for Mazon Township to Steffens 3D for $31,833.40, for Nettle Creek Township to Steffens 3D for $34,164.15, for Norman Township to Steffens 3D for $23,793.40, for Saratoga Township to Steffens 3D for $21,849.60, and for Vienna Township to Steffens 3D for $16,428.05.

Cassem said the amounts approved

are paid through motor fuel taxes from the townships with no cost to the county.

Cassem also told the board that the highway commissioner for Vienna Township had asked for help replacing two small bridges with culverts.

The bridges are located near Bennett Road just north of O’Malley Road. The replacement has the probable cost of about $200,000.

The township is asking that the county split the cost, at a total cost to the county of $100,000.

The county board held discussion, with board member Debra Warning, R-District 2, questioning the replacement of the bridges, one of which has been closed about 30 years, when there are other bridges that require work.

“Thirty years is a long time to wait your turn,” board member Harold Vota, R-District 3, said.

The board approved splitting the cost of the work 14-1, with Warning voting against it and Ken Iverson, D-District 1, and Doug Boresi, R-District 3, absent.

Health care industry fights revealing prices Turning health care consumers into educated shoppers has long been a goal of employers who foot the bill for most care, politicians and some consumer organizations that believe that someday shopping for care should be as easy as comparing brands of canned soup.

All it takes are some clear disclosures of prices, ingredients and whatever else seems comparable in a product or service coupled with a bit of education in how to make the shopping trip fruitful, and the health care system will transform itself like magic.

It will become competitive, prices for services and therefore insurance premiums will drop, and more Americans will be able to afford care.

I’ve heard this talk for 25 years, but the health care market has yet to become a shopper’s nirvana.

Health care is not like canned soup or cheese.

It’s complicated, plus there are all kinds of secret and behind-thescenes deals made by different actors in the price drama that make it nearly impossible to understand what’s being charged.

The actors don’t want anyone to find out.

To take one example: At the end of last year, the New York State Health Foundation studied 107 hospitals in the state and found those with the greatest market share usually charged higher prices.

Those facilities could demand such

VIEWS Trudy Lieberman prices from insurers, especially if an insurer wanted the hospital in its network or if the hospital was the only game in town.

The foundation also found gag clauses written into contracts between hospitals and insurers that prevented insurers from posting hospital prices on their websites.

Some clauses say that either a hospital or an insurer can pull out of a contract if one party engages in practices that hurt the other. In other words, if an insurer tries to steer patients to lower-priced providers, the hospital could cancel its deal with the insurance carrier.

The deck is stacked against the patients, who can’t find out anything meaningful about pricing even if they wanted to.

An ongoing political battle in Ohio pitting Jim Butler, a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, against the Ohio Hospital Association and other health care professional associations also turns the idea of shopping for health care prices on its head.

You see, Butler introduced legislation in 2015 requiring Ohio hospitals and other medical providers to post their prices for nonemergency services.

After some legislative wrangling, the law passed as part of the budget for a state agency, and Gov. John Kasich signed it into law.

According to the Health Care Cost Institute that looked at insurance claims for four large carriers, prices vary widely in Ohio. For example, a pregnancy ultrasound in Cleveland costs three times more than the same procedure in Canton 60 miles away.

The same year Butler’s law passed, Gov. Kasich told reporters at a news conference nobody knows what medical procedures cost, and making those costs transparent so patients can shop for quality is key. The governor seemed to be on board.

But he wasn’t. Since then, the governor and the Ohio Hospital Association have been trying to make sure price posting never happens.

“The hospital association is fighting the hardest to avoid this, and their strategy is to divert the effort,” Butler told me.

The Kasich administration has yet to issue rules to implement the price posting law, and Butler said the Kasich administration has continued to say it would not enforce the law, which was to become effective Jan. 1.

But at the end of December, the hospital association and other providers sued to prevent the law from taking effect.

The next hearing is scheduled in August. The suit seems to be a

stalling tactic until the governor’s proposed state budget passes at the end of June. It includes a provision for repealing the law.

Butler said he has met with the industry several times, but the hospitals want to water down the law to the point it’s not helpful to patients.

For example, a revised law might require disclosures for only a handful of services and then only if patients request them.

Butler zoomed in on an important fallacy in the theory of shopping for medical services. Recently he tweeted, “How can health care savings accounts and high deductible health plans work if patients are not given prices beforehand?”

Recall that health savings accounts and high deductibles are politicians’ preferred choice for bringing down costs. According to this theory, if patients must pay more out-of-pocket, they’ll use fewer services, and national health care spending will drop.

Stronger medicine is needed if the U.S. is to slow down the ever-rising cost of care.

But if there’s such hostility to simple price disclosure from the medical establishment that would rather keep patients in the dark, will more stringent remedies for controlling costs ever work?

State’s attorney office to show documentary on sexual violence prevention SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland’s Office is hosting a public viewing of the Netflix documentary “Audrie and Daisy” from 6 to 8 p.m. April 25 at the Grundy County Administration Center.

Residents of all ages are encouraged to attend.

This is part of the state’s attorney’s office’s annual campaign during April’s Sexual Assault Awareness month to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence.

“Audrie & Daisy” is a documentary that examines the ripple effects

on families, friends, schools and communities when two underage young women find that sexual assault crimes against them have been caught on camera. This documentary takes a look at America’s teenagers who are coming of age in this new world of social media, bullying, and how quickly situations can spin out of control.

“This documentary gives us an opportunity to have the discussion about how alcohol, social media, cellphones and bullying affect our teenagers on a daily basis and encourages parents to have conversations with their children on these important matters,” Jason Helland said.

Although the stories in the film focus on two young white women from financially stable families, sexual assault can happen to anyone, regardless of age, class, gender identity, physical ability or orientation.

Young people ages 12 to 19 years old experience the highest rates of rape and sexual violence in the U.S. Sixty-eight percent of sexual assaults are never reported to the police, and an astounding 98 percent of perpetrators will never spend a day in prison.

In addition, about 33 percent of adolescent girls and boys in the U.S. are victims of physical, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner.

Nearly 60 percent of all middle and high school students are sexually harassed each year.

Also, more than 95 percent of teens reported witnessing cruelty or bullying online.

Unfortunately with these statistics, we are forced to confront the reality of the implications of sexual assault, cyberbullying and attempted and completed suicide.

While these problems are difficult to discuss, the film creates a platform for raising awareness about the risks of suicide, warning signs and ways in which we can offer potentially life-saving support.

A discussion with panelists will follow the documentary.

This seven-story brewhouse housed the vats and kettles that helped produce more than 100 barrels of beer a day. To the west of the tall brewhouse is the stockhouse. Just to the south of the brewery buildings is the bottling plant building. The entire brewery complex is located at the west end of Washington Street.

Although there were several hundred small-scale, local breweries in the 1840s and 1850s, beer did not become a mass-produced, mass-consumed beverage in America until the years after the Civil War. In Morris, Gebhard Brewery was founded by German immigrant Louis Gebhard. In 1866, Gebhard began his brewery in a wooden building located on West Washington near the East Fork branch of Nettle Creek.

Twenty years later, Gebhard sold the business to his son, William, who built the business into one that was known throughout the state because the finest quality of malt, grit and foreign and domestic hops were used in the production process.

Within a decade, William expanded the business to include a malt and bottling house (1888) and a seven-story brewhouse (1896). William would continue to construct additions to the brewhouse over the years, including the addition of a stockhouse in 1904, which included a state-of-the-art refrigeration plant.

Around 1912, William’s son, Fred, joined the business and helped with the management and operation of the brewery. Fred worked with his father until the business was closed nearly a decade later.

The process of making beer consisted of malt being elevated to the top floor of the brewhouse, where the beer was taken through several brewing stages by the force of gravity until it reach the stockhouse. It was there that the beer was packed into kegs and bottled by a filling machine.

With the ratification of the 18th Amendment on Jan. 29, 1919, and officially taking effect the next year, Gebhard Brewery was forced to cease operation by January 1920.

Within a few months, the brewing equipment was sold, and by 1921, the brewery buildings were sold, and the tall brewhouse was converted for use into a flour mill.

One such company that used the old brewhouse was the Morris Milling Co., which was in operation from 1935 to 1958.

The old bottling plant building also was sold and converted to other use. In 1946, the Lindsay Light and Mantel Co. began producing mantels for lamps and lanterns. This business flourished for nearly 50 years at this location until it was closed in the early 1990s.

OPINIONS

Time to temper our justice with a little bit of mercy SPRINGFIELD – “These are halls of justice – not mercy,” the prosecutor bellowed before the jury as I wiggled uncomfortably in the back of the courtroom, notebook in hand.

I was fresh out of college and covering courts in Texas when I first wrestled with the notion of justice vs. mercy.

Justice is when society gives someone a punishment it thinks a defendant deserves. Mercy, on the other hand, is when it extends a hand of compassion.

We are all for compassion when it is we who are standing before the judgment seat. But we aren’t so much for it when it is someone who has wronged us.

I just finished reading “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson. He’s a Harvard-educated lawyer who has devoted his life to representing those sentenced to death.

He famously was able to prove one of his clients was factually innocent and have the conviction thrown out.

VIEWS Sometimes our society makes mistakes.

And the death penalty is something that Scott makes me uneasy.

Reeder It has since I met a man named Gary Gauger. He was wrongly convicted of murdering his parents in rural McHenry County. He served two years on Illinois’ death row before his conviction was thrown out.

I met Gauger back in 1990 when he dropped by my office, which was then in the Illinois statehouse. He told his tale of wrongful conviction and left me speechless.

I’m libertarian in my philosophy, which means I support limited government. And let’s face it, there is no greater intrusion of government than when it chooses to kill one of its citizens. And after 30 years of covering government, I’ve come to the conclusion that it does very little very well.

Even when it comes to the death penalty, in recent decades Illinois managed to sentence 13 men to die who were factually innocent. For this reason, I’m glad Illinois no longer has capital punishment.

While Gov. Pat Quinn signed the legislation outlawing the death penalty, it is really Gov. George Ryan who deserves the credit. During his four years in office, he moved from being a supporter of the death penalty to being the nation’s most vocal opponent of capital punishment. He is the man who emptied Illinois’ death row.

I used to say, “I support the death penalty because some people don’t deserve to live.”

And, no, I haven’t become naïve. I know there are still bad people among us who should be banished to be forever away from society.

But what does society gain by killing? Retribution?

Well, perhaps it’s time to temper our justice with a bit of mercy.

A story about getting away with murder I was in Colorado Springs on a sunny, Thursday afternoon, sitting in a hotel lobby, looking at a scenic, snow-capped Pike’s Peak, Bible open in my lap.

It sounds like a very serene, holy kind of pastor thing to be doing, right?

Normally I would agree with you, but on this particular Thursday afternoon, I was anything but serene.

I’m a bi-vocational pastor, which means I have another full-time job in addition to being the Pastor of First Baptist Church of Coal City. I was in Colorado because my “other” job as the Suicide Prevention Program manager with the U.S. Army Reserves requires me to travel.

Sometimes it requires me to travel a lot, and Colorado was my last stop on a multi-state tour of duty. I had been in all four time zones over the last week and I had not written Sunday’s sermon yet.

VIEWS David Gilleland Back to the hotel lobby, open Bible in lap, looking at the mountains thinking, “I am SO far behind this week!”

Normally, my sermons are 95 percent done by Thursday afternoon. This week … well, you can see where I was.

We’re working our way through the Gospel of Mark leading up to Easter and this particular week I’m preaching on Mark 15:1-20. It’s the set of verses where Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate to face charges of treason and sedition.

Pilate finds no fault in him, offers to release a prisoner, and is surprised when the Jews call for the release of Barabbas, a murderer, and not Jesus,

who they themselves hailed as the Messiah only a few days earlier. So, Pilate releases the criminal Barabbas and has Jesus “scourged” before sentencing him to be executed.

Side note: If you have a weak stomach, don’t look up scourging. It’s horrific and the stuff of nightmares.

So, I had read the text and I’m looking at the mountains wondering how to make a sermon out of this farce of a hearing and torture session.

As my mind was pondering deep, holy things (or something like that), I realized that of all the gross injustice of the situation, the thing that was bothering me the most was the fact that I really did not like Barabbas.

I mean, this guy was guilty! All of those things they were accusing Jesus of – this dude actually committed all of those crimes! He deserved the death penalty!

The cross that was made for Barab-

bas to be executed on ... well, they nailed Jesus on it. Jesus, innocent of all charges (as acknowledged by Pilate four times), was nailed to a cross as punishment for something someone else did.

Then it hit me: the reason I didn’t like Barabbas was because I am Barabbas.

And so are you.

We are all guilty (Romans 3:23) and deserve condemnation (Romans 6:23), but Jesus becomes our substitute (1 Peter 2:24).

Then I wondered if Barabbas thanked Jesus for taking his place.

Then I wondered, have I? Have you?

We should.

Because of Him, we’ve all gotten away with murder.

Sharing Easter Sunday breakfast important tradition to First Christian

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent The celebration of the resurrection of Jesus goes back 2,000 years and is undoubtedly the most important Christian recognition. The trial, death and resurrection show that Jesus paid the penalty for all of our sins, according to popular pastor and author Rick Warren.

“Easter is the good news,” Warren writes on the CNB website.

First Christian Church in Morris also has its own tradition of celebrating the “good news.” Every Easter morning, between the church’s three services, members serve breakfast to all who come. This breakfast is not their ordinary doughnut and coffeecake Sunday snack, but a hearty meal made fresh.

It’s a big deal, with hundreds who attend.

Members appreciate it for the chance to meet other members who attend an earlier or later service, to meet new members or visitors and for a nice bit of fellowship time over coffee and good food.

Those who don’t attend church regularly find it’s a nice, welcoming time to ease back into church.

Parents of young children love it for the chance to sit down with their families for a nutritious breakfast after a morning of Easter egg hunting and chocolate eating.

If you go n WHAT: Easter Sunday services at

First Christian Church n WHEN: 7:30 a.m., 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m. in

the Worship Center; Easter breakfast is 8 to 10:30 a.m. in the Family Life Center n WHERE: 455 W. Southmor Road, Morris n INFO: Visit fccmorris.org.

“We set up to serve 800 at least,” breakfast coordinator Julian Houston said. “We have about 30 to 40 people who help with it. . . We have four people who visit the church and asked if they can help out, and we said ‘of course.’ ” Houston and his wife, Sharon, spend quite a bit of time before Easter signing up volunteers and preparing for the event. Church members John and Jo Ann Burns also play big roles in organizing the breakfast.

Houston said he’s not sure how long the Easter breakfast has been going on, but he has been involved with it for about six years, and it was going on long before that.

There was a break a couple of years ago before the children’s wing was built, he said, when the Family Life Center had to put the annual breakfast on hold to house an overflow of children.

“We start the night before,” Houston said of the cooking. “You have to cook all the sausage links and biscuits

Sharon and Julian Houston pose for a photograph. the night before. You can’t do the biscuits in the morning. You can’t keep ahead enough. You also cut up the fruit and put them in the refrigerator.”

Easter morning, crews arrive at 7:30 to have things ready for those who start coming in the door at 8. The sausages and biscuits are put in the large warmer; the batter is mixed for the pancakes, poured on the griddle, then put in the warmer; the eggs are scrambled fresh; and the coffee, juices and other beverages are made.

The first year the Houstons were involved, members were served green eggs. Not on purpose, of course. It seems that when the scrambled eggs were put in the warming containers, they ended up with a kind of a greenish hue.

That was 86 dozen eggs. The cooks have since worked things out so their eggs are a nice, appetizing yellow.

“Easter is not bunnies and eggs,” Sharon Houston said. “It’s about Jesus.

It’s the resurrection. It’s our hope.”

Learning through STEM at Morris high school

By PATRICK M. HALLORAN Morris Community High School superintendent

and by the MCHS yearbook staff

There are a lot of exciting things happening in classrooms throughout Morris Community High School and the following article highlights the area of science. STEM education initiatives are increasing and many focus on hands-on lab opportunities for students.

Senior yearbook members Lily Tibbott, Madi Phillips, Sabrina Baftiri, Sage Reische and Rose Tibbott wrote the following article about human anatomy/physiology class. The lab experiences provided by our science teachers enhance the learning opportunities for our students.

The anatomy classes at MCHS decided to give the books a rest and do several hands-on activities throughout the course of their second semester. For students to get a better concept of what is currently being taught in class, they go beyond just taking notes and doing worksheets.

In science classes, especially anatomy, lab activities are crucial to the student’s understanding of what is being taught. The students recently dissected a sheep brain. Dissecting is more than

Although the sheep brain may have some differences from a human brain, the structure and functions are very similar, which is why animal parts are commonly used in science classes.

Future dissections in anatomy include

a sheep heart, a sheep kidney, a cow eyeball and fetal pig.

The anatomy classes do more than just dissections. Some other labs they have done include the reflex lab, the jelly bean lab and the olfaction lab.

The reflex lab is pretty self-explanatory. It consists of the students testing out their reflexes and their lab part-

ner’s reflexes by using special tools and performing specific tasks. The jelly bean lab was used to test taste buds or gustatory cells.

During this lab, the students tasted five different flavors of jelly beans and named the different flavors. After doing this, the students closed their eyes and tasted the same five jelly beans, then named the flavor they thought it was.

The reasoning behind this lab was to find out if seeing the color of the jelly would affect the flavor that the student tasted. It surprised many students when their classmates closed their eyes and guessed the wrong flavor.

The olfaction lab was used to test the sense of smell. This lab consisted of smelling five different items wrapped in bottles. The students’ task was to guess the item in the bottle by using their memory of scents from the past.

Many students would have a memory for the smell, but would not be able to think of the name for the scent. It is easy to have fun and learn at the same time in anatomy and other classes at Morris Community High School.

Gisselle Vasquez, a senior at MCHS, said that “it was a very interesting experience and I enjoyed taking a break from school work to do a hands on dissection.”

Here’s an event to make help ensure you are properly insured The number of times that residents have been caught off-guard by natural and man-made disasters in recent years is growing. As we witnessed with the 2013 flood in Morris, 2013 tornado in Diamond and the 2015 tornado in Coal City, recovering from disaster is much more difficult when you don’t have insurance – or incomplete insurance.

The community is invited to a free event about insurance at 6:30 p.m. on Monday in the Coal City High School auditorium. The guest speaker is Robert Rapp of the Illinois Department of Insurance who will share consumer tips and information for various types of insurance related to disaster recovery, including homeowners, renters, auto and business.

Mr. Rapp is the Assistant Deputy Director of P&C Consumer Assistance. As the manager of the P&C Consumer Assistance, he is responsible for supervising a staff of insurance analysts who assist consumers with disputes with their insurance company. Robert was helpful after the Coal City tornado by joining me

Department of Insurance at the first sign of disagreement with the insurance company. This sounds like a lot of responsibility for the consumer – and Julianne it is – therefore this event. How can we Buck help residents better understand their insurance responsibilities before the next disaster strikes Grundy County? on WCSJ-FM during Kevin Schramm’s For example, do you know that “People Are Talking.”

This event is not for specific agents to damage to your car isn’t covered by your homeowner’s/renter’s insurance? That’s sell insurance policies. Instead, it is an covered under “comprehensive coverinformational session to help consumage” on your auto policy. ers better understand what items are Also, do you know that renters insurrequired by law to be in a policy, items ance is fairly inexpensive – like maybe you can add to a policy for an additional $15 a month? I know that sounds like a premium, how to file claims and how to contact Mr. Rapp’s division if you are not lot to families struggling to make ends meet, but it’s a pretty smart investment getting satisfactory response from your when you consider that it will replace insurance company.

We heard many stories after the flood all of your personal possessions after a tornado or fire. and tornadoes regarding insurance – But here’s another thought that we’ve most were positive stories, but many shared quite a bit since Spring 2013: were disappointing and could have turned out better if a) the tornado family no amount of insurance will make you whole.

Rezin hosts her first Educational Advisory Committee April 3 in Peru SHAW MEDIA In an effort to encourage more dialogue about education issues between State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru), school districts, teachers and students, Rezin hosted her first Educational Advisory Committee April 3 in Peru at Parkside School.

The group consists of education leaders and students from the 38th Senate District.

“This Educational Advisory Committee has a unique knowledge of what’s best for our schools,” Rezin said. “This committee will not only help me better understand education issues, but the group will be an important resource for me when it comes to crafting, negotiating and debating education policy that benefits our students and schools.”

The Educational Advisory Committee will meet twice a year in the 38th Senate District to discuss issues such as education funding, the funding formula, school mandates, transportation, extracurricular activities,

sports, and other topics.

A big focus of this meeting was on the Every Student Succeeds Act. Representatives from the Illinois State Board of Education briefed committee members on this issue.

“Our students are the future,” Rezin said. “Giving them the best chance to learn and succeed must be a priority. Anything lawmakers can do to help better understand the issues facing our schools will only help our state in the long run.”

Recently retired Putnam County C.U.S.D. 535 Superintendent Jay McCracken helped Sen. Rezin organize her committee.

“I was truly honored to assist Senator Rezin and her fine staff with the creation of this advisory committee,” McCracken said. “It is very exciting to have Senator Rezin recognize the need to seek input and advice from experts in all facets of education throughout her district. Through the formation of this committee, Senator Rezin once again demonstrates her dedication to finding practical solutions to the is-

The following is a listing of members of Rezin’s Educational Advisory Committee: Superintendents – Kent Bugg (Coal City School District); Kenny Lee (Minooka School District); Mark Cross (Peru Elementary District 124); Steven Wrobleski (LaSalle-Peru Township High School); Pat Halloran (Morris Community H.S.); Jay McCraken (retired Putnam County C.U.S.D 535) Principals – Tim Ricketts (ReedCuster H.S.); Courtney Balestri (Putnam County Elementary) Teachers – Brian Pett (Lincoln Junior High School); Lori Tipton (Northwest Elementary School); Kristine DeGraaf (Lisbon Grade School) Student Representatives – Owen Mallery (Putnam County C.U.S.D. 535); Alexa Dawson (LaSalle-Peru Township H.S.)

Morris Lions Club donates $5,000 to Morris Hospital

SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Local young people are encouraged to bring their baskets and bags to gather Easter goodies on the Saturday before Easter.

The Morris Lions Club will again sponsor an Easter Egg Hunt for Morris children at Goold Park, east of Union Street (across from Morris High School) at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.

The park will be divided into sections with age groups marked with signs. The 1- to 3-year-old treasure hunters will be in the section nearest the pavilion. The 4- to 5-year-olds will search the area nearest the playground and tennis courts, while the sections for those ages 6 to 7 and 8 to 10 years will be located in the lower section of Goold Park.

Parents are encouraged to bring their children and to make certain youngsters have a bucket or bag to carry their Easter eggs home. Also, since

the entire hunt takes less than five minutes, children will want to be there 15 minutes before 10:30 to make sure they are there for the starting signal.

Morris Lions Club members help the Easter bunny scatter more than 8,000 plastic Easter eggs filled with wrapped candies.

Children also are encouraged to keep a sharp look out for the gold- and silver-colored eggs and eggs marked first, second, and third place, which win the large Easter baskets given as prizes.

Bring the special eggs to the Lions Club worker with the baskets for that age group to claim the prize. The Easter Bunny also will be there to visit with the youngsters, providing a photo opportunity for parents with cameras. This event is free and planned by Morris Lions to add joy to the Easter holiday.

For information, call Lions members Lori or Doug Linn at 815-942-8262.

MORRIS WRESTLING

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, April 13, 2017

MORRIS – On April 22, George Dergo’s contributions to wrestling will be recognized when he will be inducted into the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the Holiday Inn in Countryside. Registration and social hour begins at 5 p.m., with the ceremony starting an hour later.

When it comes to wrestling, there isn’t much more of an authority in the Morris community than Dergo. He is the son of the late Gehrig Dergo who, himself, was a long-time fixture in the local wrestling world.

He was the head wrestling coach at Morris Community High School from 1989 to 2006. During that time, his teams amassed a 223-144-4 record in dual meets, easily the most wins under one coach in school history, outnumbering Don Funte’s total of 196. He also had 20 state qualifiers, seven of whom won medals.

Even though the reward singles him out, Dergo knows that it is not an honor he earned without help.

“It definitely feels good to be honored by your peers and it gets the name of Morris High School out there more,” he said. “But if it wasn’t for the kids and parents that put all their time and effort in, I wouldn’t be getting this honor.”

According to its website, www.iwcoa.net, the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association was founded in 1971 with the mutual intent of the coaches and officials to cooperatively work together.

Dergo was put up for nomination by Jon Lanning, the current Morris head coach and a former Morris wrestler that Dergo coached during his Redskin career.

“If you look at the numbers George did put up, they are pretty darn good,” Lanning said. “There’s no question that if he had kept coaching up until his retirement instead of taking the athletic director’s position that he would have hit that magic 300 number when it comes to wins.

“But, he got in because of both his success on the mat and the impact he had on the kids that wrestled for him and on the sport itself. All the kids that wrestled under him just loved him and he has done a lot for the sport as far as on the lower levels, too. He certainly belongs in the Hall of Fame, and I was proud to nominate him for it.”

Morris’ George Dergo to be inducted into Illinois coaches hall of fame

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

George Dergo’s contributions to the sport of wrestling will be recognized April 22, when he will be inducted into the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the Holiday Inn in Countryside.

Dergo certainly had a lot of memorable moments in his long career, but he points to walking with his son, John, twice during the Grand March at the IHSA state finals.

John won back-to-back state championships at 171 pounds in his junior and senior seasons, going undefeated both years.

“Any time you get to walk in the Grand March, it’s a special thing,” George Dergo said. “But to be able to do it with your son, that’s even better.”

He also pointed out the team of 200405, when the Redskins had five state medal winners. Besides John Dergo, Burim Hajroja finished third at 112, Stuart Jelm was sixth at 130, Brenton Valentine was fourth at 152 and Brandon Valentine finished fourth at 189.

“That was one of the better teams we had,” Dergo said. “If they had scored the state meet like they used to in the past, we figured out that we would have finished second in AA. For a school the size of Morris to do that when there were only two classes is awfully good.”

It wasn’t only at MCHS that Dergo

“We really don’t have many Morris people in any Halls of Fame. ... So for me to get into one and put the name of Morris High School into another Hall of Fame makes me feel good.”

George Dergo former Morris wrestling coach made his mark on the local wrestling scene. He was instrumental in starting the Little Redskins Wrestling Club youth program before any of the area towns had started their own, and he knows that helped his high school program as well.

“We had so many kids in that program back then,” he said. “We had kids from Morris, Coal City, Minooka, Seneca. ... This was before all the other towns split off and started their own, so our guys got to wrestle with the kids

from all those other schools. I really think that the more wrestlers you have, the better chance all of them have of getting better. The more people you can go up against, the better. You don’t get used to seeing the same few guys and getting familiar with just them. When you have more kids, you will more variety of styles you have to prepare for and it just makes you better.

“I also have to thank guys like [former MCHS wrestling coaches] Herb Shaw and Don Funte, as well as Mike Golimowski, who coached for years at Shabbona. They helped lay the foundation around here.”

Dergo also expressed pride in joining a small group of Morris coaches who have been honored statewide.

“We really don’t have many Morris people in any Halls of Fame,” he said.

“Dan [Darlington] and Denny [Steele] are in as football coaches and ‘Mack’ [John Mackinson] in softball, but I think that’s it. So for me to get into one and put the name of Morris High School into another Hall of Fame makes me feel good.”

40 SOFTBALL: MORRIS 13, SYCAMORE 4

Morris pulls away late in win over Sycamore STAFF REPORTS

SYCAMORE – The Sycamore and Morris softball teams played a tight game until the final inning, when Morris burst onto the bases for eight runs to beat the Spartans, 13-4, on Tuesday in Sycamore.

Morris (14-1, 2-1 in Northern Illinois Big 12) made the most of its extra chances in the seventh inning as it loaded the bases, thanks in part to two errors from the Spartans. Ryan Friend blasted a tworun double, and the rout began. Morris batted through its roster, scoring eight runs and putting the game away. Friend knocked in three runs for Morris, going 2 for 4 with two doubles, while teammate Olivia Schultz, who went 1 for 4, also had a two-run hit in the final inning.

“The girls finally came around in the last inning, but we need to come out in the beginning of the game and play the way we know we can play,” Morris coach Jennifer Lowery said.

“The wheels just fell off there in that last inning,” Sycamore coach Jill Carpenter said. “We’re just going to have to learn how to stop the bleeding a lot sooner than we did in that last inning.”

The Spartans (3-6-1, 1-2 in Northern Illinois Big 12) had their chances to win when they had runners on in every inning, including having the bases loaded with no outs in the sixth, but could only manage one run in that inning.

“Offensively we had plenty of opportunities,” Carpenter said. “We had a runner on base every inning, so it’s not like we didn’t give ourselves chances.

We found a way to put the ball in play.”

Gracyn Gabriel led the Spartans offense, going 2 for 4 with two RBIs. By the numbers: For Sycamore, Haley Trela went 1 for 4 with an RBI, Kayleigh Reifsteck went 2 for 4 with a run scored, and Amanda Swedberg went 2 for 3, legging out two infield singles. For Morris, Jasmine Cook went 2 for 4 with a double and two RBIs, and Megan Gerischer went 2 for 2 with two infield singles.

Morris pitcher Abby Burns added an RBI to go along with her nine strikeouts.

Beyond the stats: Kayleigh Reifsteck faked a bunt, then sent a single over the charging Morris defense, helping to key the Spartans’ three-run third inning.

They said it: “You can make something happen with your speed or the defense can have a miscue and you give yourself a chance,” Carpenter said.

Up next: Morris hosts DeKalb at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Ottawa Marquette softball teams Monday, the state’s No. 2-ranked teams, in Class 3A and Class 1A, respectively, decided to take their chances and play their game.

In the end, it rained down runs on the Morris side, and the Redskins walked away with a 12-1 nonconference win in six innings. Rachel Trader and Ashley Phelps led Morris (13-1) offensively with three hits each. Trader had two singles, a double and an RBI, while Phelps hit a single and a double and capped the day with a walk-off grand slam in the sixth inning, finishing with five RBIs. Jasmine Cook added a single and a three-run homer, while Janelle Brehm, Abby Burns, Olivia Schultz, Ryan Friend, Melissa Benson and Gigi Corban each added a hit.

Burns threw four innings for the win, giving up just one hit and an earned run while striking out six. Corban threw the fifth and sixth innings, giving up no hits while striking out four.

MORRIS – The Morris baseball team gave pitcher Andy Peters a run to work with in the bottom of the first inning.

It was all Peters needed.

The Redskins senior fired a one-hit shutout, and Morris upended Ottawa, 1-0, in a Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover game Friday. Peters struck out 10 and walked only one.

“Andy was on today from the very start of the game,” Morris coach Todd Kein said. “It was just a great pitching performance to watch. We came out swinging and scratched one across in the first, and the pitching and defense took care of the rest. Give credit to Ottawa’s pitcher as well. He threw a fine game.”

Morris (8-2, 1-0) got a leadoff single

by Payton Voitik to start the bottom of the first, one of two hits on the day for the Redskins junior. After Jared Lines and Danny Borgstrom each singled to load the bases, Michael Metesh walked to force in Voitik with what turned out to be the game’s only run. Voitik and Kameron Dransfeldt, who also shared their 17th birthday Friday, each had two hits, while Lines and Borgstrom finished with a hit each.

Coal City 4, Herscher 3: Coal City had just one infield hit until the sixth inning, then, trailing 3-0 with one out in the sixth, collected five consecutive hits to stage a comeback victory.

Blake Harseim finished with two hits for the Coalers (7-4), and also got the win on the mound, tossing six innings and striking out six while walking three.

Keegan Gagliardo worked the seventh for the save.

Manteno 9, Seneca 1: Losing pitcher Sam Grushkin allowed seven hits and five runs (three earned) in 32⁄3 innings Friday. Hunter Simon was 1 for 3 with a run and a stolen base to pace the offense for the Irish, while Myles Mitchell was 1 for 3 with an RBI. Serena 7-8, Seneca 6-15: On Saturday, the Irish split the nonconference doubleheader. In Game 1, losing pitcher Colt Aldrich went 2 for 4 with run as the Irish out hit Serena 11-8. Hunter Simon (3 stolen bases), Myles Mitchell (3 RBIs) and Brendan Newkirk (run) all had two hits, while Sam Grushkin added a solo homer.

That old tube bait of yours still can catch fish Sometimes things just happen.

An idea is born, it is nurtured, then fate steps in and takes over. The end result can be something of legendary status. One of the greatest lure inventions of all time falls into this realm.

In 1964, Bobby Garland wanted something to increase his odds of having success on the water.

Garland lived out West and, as a result, he fished some exceptionally clear lakes. Anytime fish live in a clear water environment, they are more likely to be sight feeders. This means lures need to look and act realistic.

Garland designed the first hollow-bodied tube bait. It looked like nothing seen before in the marketplace.

It had tentacles, like a squid, and a hollow body that was shaped like a tube.

The goal was to create a lure that mimicked a dying shad as it curled in a death spiral toward the bottom.

These shad are easy pickings for all predators and the slow swirl downward elicits a strong feeding instinct.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers The results were immense and measurable, but anglers farther east knew nothing of the lure until Guido Hibdon was paired with Garland in a tournament.

After spending time in the boat watching this amazing, odd-looking, plastic wonder, Hibdon brought it back with him to central Missouri.

That tournament took place on Lake Havasu in Arizona, which has notoriously clear water At first, other tough tournament anglers back east labeled the lure as a “sissy bait.” Hibdon didn’t care.

Soon enough his tournament results spoke for themselves and everyone was clamoring for these goofy tube baits.

Anglers also started to use the lures for bed fishing and, as a result, many people have incorrectly assumed that a tube bait is only for bed fishing. It can be used for so

much more than that.

In fact, Art Ferguson III has made quite a career from swimming a tube bait.

After he lets the bait fall to the structure he is targeting, he then swims it back.

“I get more strikes on a steady, straight retrieve, moving the bait a foot or two at a time in a straight line with no twitching or jerking,” he said.

I have fished with Ferguson on Lake St. Clair, and let me tell you, he catches a lot of fish swimming a tube.

Bottom line is, the bait is versatile. You can Texas Rig it and flip into heavy cover, or you can use an insert tube head with an open hook.

You can Carolina Rig it or even take a small tube and use a drop shot presentation.

For some reason, the bait is often overlooked for the latest-and-greatest techniques. That is actually good news.

The fish in your local body of water may not have seen a tube bait in quite some time. For a heavily pressured lake, that means it just

might provide you with more bites than the next angler.

The tube also is an amazing multi-species bait. I have caught just about anything you can think of on a tube.

Muskie, northern, bass, bluegill and crappie all readily attack a tube. Just make sure you use smaller offerings for the panfish.

Last Sunday afternoon, I hit the lake to find main body water temperatures hovering around 49 to 50 degrees. Few fish were making a move to the shallows.

Every fish I caught was relating to deeper water near flats and points. You guessed it. They all fell for a tube bait as it spiraled to the bottom.

As you head out next, dig through that old tackle box and see if you can find a few tube lures lurking in there.

The magic still exists.

Thank you Bobby Garland for such an innovative and lasting design.

banners. But when it’s 108 years between titles, it’s hard not to want the celebration to last.

“I think so that fans can enjoy them each on their own,” said team president Theo Epstein. “That’s a lot to put into one night, not that you couldn’t do it, but something might get lost. I can understand doing it on two separate nights. I think it will prove to be a nice benefit to the fans.

“First of all, more people can say they were there for one of the ceremonies. Hopefully they’re special moments. By the first pitch on Wednesday we can turn the page.”

Manager Joe Maddon has stated his preference for the banner-raising over the ring ceremony. Monday night did not disappoint Maddon.

“It was awesome,” he said. “It was really well done. It’s just a really special night for all of us, for the fan base, for the organization. It was a really special evening. I really liked the idea of Billy, Ryno and Fergie raising them and then our guys. Really well thought out. Just a

special evening.”

It was even more special for Anthony Rizzo, the team leader who led the Cubs in raising the 2016 world-championship banner and then capped the night (into the early hours of Tuesday morning) with a game-winning RBI single.

“I’ll remember this day for as long as I play baseball,” he said. “The walk-off caps it off. That pregame ceremony, I really, honestly didn’t think it would be that amazing a job the Cubs did. The videos, the tribute, it’s amazing.

“The fans, just how amazing they were, we had this whole off-season to dissect it and realize how much it meant to so many people from all over the world, all over the country. For them to enjoy that, for us to enjoy it, it was really cool, it was really cool. It’s our first time back at Wrigley. Being here is special. Being able to do that, we’re the only people alive that have ever done that.”

The Cubs hit no home runs Monday night in their 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Wrigley Field opener.

As far as the rest of the night went, they knocked pretty much everything else out of the park.

The outdoor plaza on the west side of Wrigley Field has given the entire area a new look, and it seemed to be a big hit with fans.

And the rain-delayed banner-raising ceremony left more than a few people reaching for a tissue, and not because of the rain.

“It was pretty cool,” said pitcher Jon Lester, who started the game. “It’s nice. It was, I think, better than what we expected. Obviously, when the crowd sticks around for a two-hour rain delay that’s always nice. The team going out there and raising the flag and some, I don’t want to say old guys, but some old guys coming back and doing the same

thing.

“It was a special night, something that will go down in my book as something that I’ll remember for a long, long time. I now look forward to Wednesday and getting the fun stuff, getting the ring. So that will be good.”

Jon Lester Lester meant no disrespect to those “old guys,” who happened to be Cubs Hall of Famers Ryne Sandberg, Billy Williams and Fergie Jenkins, who raised three of the four banners the Cubs put up as they commemorated the 1907 and 1908 world championships, the 2016 National League pennant and, of course, the World Series title from last year.

As Lester mentioned, there’s more.

The Cubs will receive their World Series rings before Wednesday night’s game as a group of fans will do the presentation.

The Cubs could have done it all Monday – present the rings and unfurl the

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER the cardiovascular problems that lead to it can begin to develop well before then.

One of the major risk factors for vascular dementia is high blood pressure, which also plays a role in heart attack and stroke.

That’s why it’s important to know your numbers, and to monitor blood pressure on a regular basis.

To reduce blood pressure, maintain a healthy weight. It’s wise to also keep track of your waistline measurements. Men who measure more than 40 inches at the waist and women whose waistlines measure more than 35 inches are at increased risk of developing high blood pressure.

Get moving. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of vascular dementia by 40 percent. Just 30 minutes of exercise at moderate intensity -- you’ll be able to speak but not sing -- three times per week helps protect both your heart and your brain.

If you’ve been following this column for even a few weeks you know what’s coming next -- don’t smoke. If you do smoke, please stop. Yes, we know that’s hard. We also know that your family doctor would love to help you.

Eat a healthy diet: lean meats, fresh fish, legumes, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Skip the sugar if you can. Limit simple carbs like pasta, rice, bread and processed cereals.

Limit how much alcohol you drink.

Even in moderation, alcohol has been linked to dementia risk, particularly as we get older.

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

Dear Doctor: My dad has just been diagnosed with vascular dementia. What is it?

Can it be prevented?

Dear Reader: Dementia is a general term used to categorize symptoms that relate to the decline or loss of cognitive function.

These include confusion, memory loss, impaired language skills, changes in personality or behavior, and the inability to think clearly or perform everyday tasks. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for between 60 and 80 percent of all dementia cases. The mental impairment of Alzheimer’s disease results from a series of complex changes that take place within the structure of the brain itself.

Vascular dementia, which is also called vascular cognitive impairment, causes the majority of non-Alzheimer’s cases of dementia. It occurs when the blood vessels in the body, known as the vascular system, become blocked, diseased or damaged and are unable to provide the brain with normal blood flow. This deprives the brain of adequate oxygen and nutrition, which causes brain cells to die. The resulting injury, which prevents different parts of the brain from communicating with one another, causes symptoms of dementia.

Hardening and narrowing of the arteries, a major stroke or a series of small strokes can cause vascular dementia. In the case of major stroke, symptoms of vascular dementia can appear suddenly. But quite often, the disease builds slowly. As blood flow to the brain decreases, mental impairment gradually becomes more pronounced.

At this time, vascular dementia cannot be reversed, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing it.

Although the disease is rare before age 65,
