For the last couple of years, I have heard rumblings at various athletic events that Morris might want to leave the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference. Given the fact that a lot of these rumblings have come after losses, I didn’t know whether to take them that seriously.

No one had gone on the record to say that was the case, anyway, so it just remained in my head as something I heard.

Last week at a Morris Community High School board meeting, however, there actually was discussion about sending a letter of interest to the Interstate Eight Conference, which is looking to replace Seneca. Seneca recently opted to move into the Tri-County Conference.

While a majority of fans just want to look at football, there is an entire school and atheltic program to focus on here. Yes, the Morris football team should be able to come into the Interstate Eight Conference and be at or near the top of the league year in and year out, just like they are in the Northern Illinois Big 12, and just like they were in the Little Seven, Suburban Prairie, Southwest Prairie and NCIC in the last 30 years.

My point is that we are not talking about anything new here. Morris has been in five different conferences since I graduated

VIEWS Rob Oesterle from there in 1987. We’re not talking about Illinois and the Big 10 here. The Redskins have been fairly nomadic in their history.

One of the reasons for that is that it seems like every area surrounding Morris is growing, while the enrollment at MCHS has remained virtually the same with no sign of it drastically increasing or decreasing. You can write in anywhere between 800-1,000 students for Morris every year for the next 20 years and feel pretty good about your chances of it being there. If you had done that in, say, Minooka, 20 years ago, you’d be about 2,000 off by now.

As communites and schools change, their needs change and conference affiliations change. It wasn’t that long ago that Peotone and Manteno were in the same conference as Gardner-South Wilmington.

Now, they are competing in the postseason against schools such as Morris.

On the fields of play, Morris is not going to jump right into the I-8 and dominate every sport. However, they will be more

Suspect named in fatal shooting of parolee in Channahon

By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com A suspect has been named in the fatal shooting of a recent parolee, that occurred Friday night at a family party near Channahon.

James F. Hess, 65, is charged with one count of aggravated discharge of a firearm in the death of 29-year-old Nathan Hofkamp, a news release from the Will County Sheriff’s Office stated.

Hofkamp was pronounced dead early Saturday at the Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center emergency room in Joliet, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

Hofkamp had just been released from prison and was celebrating with family at a residence in the 25000 block of Canal Road in unincorporated Will County near Channahon when a disturJames F. bance broke out, a sheriff’s Hess office news release stated.

About 11:25 p.m. Friday, Hess allegedly became upset and shot Hofkamp in the chest, according to the sheriff’s office. Hess is being held in the Will County jail, and further charges are pending review of the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office. He is scheduled to appear in court 9 a.m. Monday.

Hess, who lives on Canal Road with Hofkamp’s mother, was charged with battery in 2011 and granted court supervision, according to Will County court records.

He was also given court supervision in 2010 for a charge of property damage in connection with a 2009 incident. Additionally in 2010, Hess was charged with domestic battery and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence, but those charges were dropped. Hofkamp had been serving a sentence for theft and aggravated assault at Vienna Correctional Center and was scheduled to be paroled Friday, according to Illinois Department of Corrections records. He had previously served time for theft, drug possession and burglary.

competitive when it comes to conference titles on a yearly basis.

Wrestling long has been a strength in the I-8 and Morris isn’t going to come in and overthrow state powers such as Coal City and Wilmington. The Redskins will go from being the second-smallest school in the NIB 12 to being the second-largest in the I-8. That alone should keep them near the top. More kids to choose from generally equates to better teams.

Plus, there’s the travel side of things.

The average one-way trip for Morris in a NIB 12 road game is 57 miles. The longest trip they will face as a member of the I-8 is 51. That means less time on the road, less money to fuel buses and more time for the kids to be in class and to get home to finish homework. That’s a win-win, no matter what.

It’s still being discussed. There also are other schools expressing interest in joining the I-8.

And, in the end, the I-8 might decide to stand pat and not add anyone. I am just saying that, if it comes, it seems like a good fit to me.

Annual event brings community together on Good Friday

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – After being saved three years ago, Michael Gonzalez of Morris said he has begun a life free of drugs and alcohol as he now follows in the path of Jesus.

Now a member of Living Water Church, Gonzalez was chosen to be the first to carry the wooden cross from First United Methodist Church to Immaculate Conception Church during the Walk with the Cross event in downtown Morris on Good Friday.

“I could only imagine the suffering he did for us to be free today.

John 3:16 is a daily verse that goes through my head,” Gonzalez said.

“It’s an honor to walk with Jesus every day, we have to believe in something we can’t see, and he wants us in our hearts.”

For eight years, the Morris Ministerial Association has invited residents to join in worship and reading of one of the last seven statements Jesus made during his crucifixion at seven churches in the downtown area.

“It was our vision to have a walk with the cross to witness our faith to the community. We will walk in the footsteps of Jesus with the cross.

There were seven words spoken

by Jesus on the cross when he was crucified by the Romans. We will meditate and reflect on what Christ did for us,” First United Methodist’s the Rev. Robert Sathuri said.

At noon, over 100 people from all walks of life and all ages filled the church to listen to scripture and sing in worship. Gonzalez then picked up the cross, placed it over his shoulder and walked down the aisle toward the door.

The group followed and a large

Seven downtown churches were stops along the walk where the seven last statements of Jesus were read. stream of people, somber in the knowledge that Jesus was in the midst of his death, walked to and from each church to listen, and soak in the meaning of the day.

“It’s important for them [my kids] to see other believers and visit other churches in town. It’s Holy Week and we try to attend extra things during this week,” Morris resident Katie

Mueller said.

Her daughter, Julie, said this walk shows when “Jesus died on the cross to save us.”

Each church had its own portion of the seven statements made by Jesus. First United Methodist read from Luke 23:34 and said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

You’ll be proud to call Heritage Woods of Minooka your new home.

An attractive community that is comfortable, safe, secure and affordable.

Next was Immaculate Conception Church, where Luke 23:43 was read, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” The third statement spoken was recited at First Presbyterian Church, “Woman, behold your son; behold your mother,” John 19:26-27.

LOCAL NEWS County administrator to leave post at end of May Have a news tip? Contact Rob Oesterle at 815-942-3221 or news@morrisherald-news.com.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor has announced he will not be renewing his contract at the end of May and will be leaving his position with the county.

“It’s been the greatest honor of my life to work here the past two years,” Pryor said Thursday afternoon. “I trust I’m leaving it in good hands and a good position.”

Pryor said he has been offered a job in an undisclosed position that will allow him more time at home with his wife and young children, something he

said he cannot pass up.

“I learned about a great opportunity for me and for my family,” he said. “After discussing it with my wife we decided it would be the best deciDoug sion for us.”

Pryor Former County Board Chairman David Welter, now a Republican state representative from Morris, said hiring Pryor was the best hire he’s ever been involved with.

“At the end of the day, Doug is worth more than what the county can offer and he has done a great job for the citizens and the county,” Welter said.

Current board Chairman Chris Balkema said he’s happy for the opportunity that has been offered to Pryor.

“He’s done a fantastic job for the county and moved it in the right direction,” Balkema said.

All three agree the replacement needs to be chosen carefully to help continue to carry the county in the direction it is headed with less revenue than it has had historically.

“We’re grateful and excited that Doug is willing to help us pick the replacement and help train him before his contract is up at the end of May,” Balkema said.

Balkema said that if the county has

to change administrators as officials start working toward Vision 2020 and the start of their three-year goals, this is a better time to do it, rather than when they are a year and a half into the plan.

“Doug has been instrumental in the financial changes and it’s going to be difficult to find someone of his caliber to replace him,” Welter said. “I encourage the board to take its time as it takes a step forward to find the right candidate.”

Balkema said the board will post the job internally, as well as externally, and they encourage anyone who is interested in the position to apply.

FARMING IS FOR ALL

Women play role in 25 percent of farms in Grundy County

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent When Tammy Halterman of Mazon was 10 years old, her father retired from the Army and settled on a farm in rural Mazon. Although her mother never touched a tractor, Halterman ran one.

“My dad had me run equipment, but fathers allowed kids my age to do that. Times were evolving and changing,” Halterman said.

When she was involved with 4-H Club or sports, Halterman said she had to be on the boys’ teams, but closer to her junior and senior years of high school, more girls were in her FFA group.

“Now you see a lot of leadership of ladies in agriculture, probably because of women’s equality over the years. Women have become more forward thinking, and many I know work alongside their husbands,” Halterman said.

Halterman grew up across the road from her now husband, Kevin Halterman, but the two didn’t cross paths early on. They married when Tammy was 28. A typical day for the couple includes feeding cattle, pigs and chickens, as well as taking care of and farming family and rental properties.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Kaylee Heap of Minooka was introduced to farming by her now husband, Kevin Heap, and Sara Mitchell brought her husband into her show pig business.

Kaylee said she grew up in the real estate world in Wilmington, but after she met Kevin in college, she quickly learned that if she wanted to spend time with the busy farmer, she had better learn a thing or two about the business.

The couple now has been together nine years, and Kaylee primarily works out of her home and car for Grainco FS Inc. as the central origination manager, helping farmers market their grain and managing a staff of originators.

During the fall, she helps Kevin run the family business, Heap’s Giant Pumpkin Farm. She manages the seasonal employees and gives school tours during the day.

“I like chaos and like the flexibility so I can be involved in all of it,” she said.

Mitchell said she grew up on a family farm, and when she finished college, she wanted to get involved in the show pig business. Now, she and her husband, Mark Mitchell, who did not grow up farming, help run Brockman Farms in Verona, which includes show pigs, custom pork and pigs the farm feeds out and sells.

Sara also sells crop insurance for First Farm Credit in Ottawa, and she and her husband have begun an educational wing to the farm called Think Oink, where they team up with Streator High School to show the process from pig insemination to birth.

Kaylee and Sara both said they feel as if they work in male-dominated roles on and off the farm, but also said that as long as they know what they are talking about, the fact that they are women has never played against them negatively in the

Sara Mitchell is seen performing a regular checkup on one of her pigs. agriculture world.

“I think in my business, being a woman is an asset, because I can connect to consumers, woman to woman, because wives are more active in the roles on the farm,” Sara said.

A 2012 Census of Agriculture found that in the U.S., out of the 3.2 million total farm operators, 30 percent were women, and of the total principal operators in charge of day-to-day operations, 14 percent were women.

In Grundy County, specifically, women play a role on 25 percent of farms and are the key operator of 6 percent of farms in the county, Grundy County Farm Bureau Manager Victoria Wax said.

“I work with men and am managed by men, which are awesome mentors,” Kaylee said. “I try to get creative and work with other women in the industry to see what works for them, and as long as I am knowledgeable and have an opinion, I feel confident.”

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent Rose Gilman, current Chicago Ridge Library director, has been hired as Morris Area Public Library’s new director. She will begin the position May 1.

Gilman also has served as co-interim director and adult services manager at New Lenox Public Library and as youth services manager at Green Hills Library.

She has her Bachelor of Science degree from Governors State University, where she majored in biology and secondary education and minored in chemistry, and she received her master’s degree in library information science at Dominican University.

Gilman said she is excited about the new position and loves the town of Morris.

“At the end of the day, I am very

many community events there.”

Gilman said she loves the downtown area and looks forward to shopping there. She also got a great impression of the people she met at the library and even just walking around town.

“Everyone’s so nice and polite,” she said.

She also has a good feeling about the library, although there are some things she hopes to change.

“I thought it had good bones,” she said, “but it can use a little bit of sprucing up. ... I can’t wait to lead the staff into changes the community needs and the community wants.”

ty reasons,” she said.

Gilman has been involved in library work for years and said she knows them in and out.

“I’ve been in library since 2006,” she said. “I’ve worked in just about every position ... and can see things from different viewpoints.”

Gilman said she loves it when she can find the right book for the right person.

Her hobbies include reading Stephen King books and the Dean Koontz books that were written before 2004.

“Creepy suspense is my genre,” she said.

She has a 4-year-old son and enjoys taking care of her yard, drawing and music in general.

Gilman replaces interim Director Kathy Parker, who began Jan. 20.

Parker was brought in to bridge the gap in library leadership after former director, Lorene Kennard, resigned in November 2016.

Senior loved ones may not always request assistance with chores of daily living.

Recognition of need is often left to observant family members who notice significant changes in the appearance of the seniors.

Clothes may be covered with food stains and worn for several days in a row. Body odor from infrequent bathing can become unpleasant, and hair may be greasy or uncombed. These changes can indicate that daily routines have become too difficult for seniors to accomplish on their own.

Concerned family members may be able to provide some assistance, but in many cases hiring a professional caregiver could be the better option. Caregivers visit with their senior clients at regularly scheduled intervals and

Lynn said the idea for the presentation came to her as she experienced the difficulties of raising a child with ADD. “It was born out of my frustration,” she said, “and I wanted moms to reach out and help each other. ... Each of us keeps reinventing the wheel, and it shouldn’t be that way.”

Lynn said her family spent hundreds of dollars buying extra school textbooks online to keep at home when their daughter forgot to bring them home from school, only to learn later

Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media

Dr. David Vermillion and Lynn Vermillion, of Morris Family Healthcare and Wellness, are hosting a presentation on Parenting a Child with ADHD/ADD on April 27. that schools have extra sets of books for just that reason.

Being able to talk to other parents who were going through the same thing, she said, would have made a huge difference. She hopes to begin a local support group in the future.

Having ADD or ADHD is nothing to

be embarrassed about, either, she said.

It’s just like anything else your body goes through.

“You should not be ashamed or embarrassed that one person in the family thinks differently than a lot of society,” she said.

Dr. Vermillion added that those who have the disorder are just as intelligent as any other person. There are people with ADD who are geniuses, he said.

Vermillion said the presentation will address medications, myths, the basics of treatment, how parents and the schools can help and what resources are available locally. Riverside Behavioral Health, he said, has the nearest neuropsychiatric evaluation program that aids in diagnosing the condition.

This is a learning disability, Vermillion added, like any other disability, and children who have it may need more time on tests and assignments, different placements in classrooms, and other considerations.

Morris Family Healthcare and Wellness will be giving other presentations on Type 2 diabetes in the near future. For information, call the office at 815-513-5625 or visit www.morrisfamilyhealthcareandwellness.com.

MORRIS – Parents of children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) usually have concerns and considerations that go far beyond giving their children a pill with breakfast each morning.

To address these concerns, Dr. David Vermillion, of Morris Family Healthcare and Wellness, and his wife, Lynn Vermillion, have organized a presentation for parents and others in the community who want to learn more about ADD and ADHD. It will be at 6 p.m. April 27 at the Morris Area Public Library.

Dr. Vermillion will speak on medications, Lynn will speak from a parent’s point of view, a representative from Riverside Behavioral Health in Coal City will talk about the neuropsychiatric evaluation that aids in diagnosis, and a Morris School District 54 social worker will speak about school-related issues.

According to the Attention Deficit Disorder Association, ADHD is a genetic syndrome of the brain that affects a person’s attention, concentration, memory, motivation and effort, orga-

Morris detective presented American Police Hall of Fame Award

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris Detective Doris Noll once again was recognized for her efforts with the Morris Police Monday night during the regular city council meeting.

Noll, with the department since 2002, was presented with the American Police Hall of Fame Award just more than a month before she will retire from the force.

“I will be able to fill the position,” Chief John Severson told those present. “But I cannot replace the person.”

Noll, a relatively quiet member of the force, said she was speechless after receiving the award.

“I’m always speechless when they give me awards. It’s teamwork more than individual. We all work for the same purpose,” Noll said.

In April 2016, Noll was presented with the Criminal Investigation Award from the American Police Hall of Fame National Awards Program, along with Det. Paul Burke.

Former Police Chief Brent Dite said at the time that while the two had investigated many cases, they were involved in a number of noteworthy

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Morris Police Chief John Severson presents Detective Doris Noll with the American Hall of Fame Award at the Monday night Morris City Council meeting. cases that resulted in the arrest and successful prosecution of offenders, which led to them getting that award.

Noll, along with other detectives, were key in the recovery of more than $34,000 of currency from a burglary to a local liquor store as well as the recovery of more than $43,000 from a felony

theft from a commercial business.

In her 15 years on the force, Noll also has been responsible with her team for arrests made from multiple residential burglaries, arson to multiple motor vehicles and arson to a number of commercial properties.

Noll said as she nears retirement

on May 26, which will be her last day with the department, she will miss the camaraderie and family feel of the department.

Before working for the Morris Police Department, Noll worked for the Ottawa Police Department for nine years.

MORRIS – During a public hearing portion of the Morris City Council meeting Monday night in regard to the proposed annual budget ordinance for the fiscal year beginning May 1, resident Sara Haynes spoke out with some concerns.

“I have a few questions in regard to the wage schedules, several I’ve seen have significant increases from the 2015-16 year to the 2017-18 budget,” Haynes said from the public lectern. “A lot of the raises are three percent and I think that is a fair amount but some I have questions about are much greater.”

She questioned a 5 percent increase for a police secretary, a 75 percent increase for the assistant HR director at city hall and 105 percent increase for the HR director at the water and sewer plant.

“The one I have the most concern about is the city liquor commissioner salary going from $5,000 a year to $10,000 per year,” she said.

She asked Mayor Richard Kopczick if indeed the job of liquor commissioner wasn’t part of his job duties and asked why there was even a separate salary for the position.

Kopczick said there was an ordinance approved years ago that provided a separate salary and, despite the increase in the pay this year, it still is well below where it was 10 years ago.

“We increased it from the $5,000 but there had been two decreases prior,” Alderman Julian Houston said.

“We could go hire someone else to do the job.”

Houston said that while he believes the pay is supported, he understands other aldermen like Randy Larson do not support it, which Larson agreed was an accurate statement.

Carol Adair, city clerk who presented the budget, explained that some of the increases in the clerk’s department, including HR, is because roles have been switched and now that the staff has been crosstrained to do each other’s positions, some are taking on additional roles that she feels warrant the increase in salary.

Adair also said the police secretary was hired in at a considerably lower rate than the person who she was replacing but, due to experience, and duty changes including the completion of FOIA requests, they felt the 5 percent raise was warranted.

Ten years ago, the liquor commissioner salary was at $15,000 a year and had dropped to $5,000.

Adair said the position, which is in addition to the mayor’s other duties, requires being up to date on laws that are in place as well as extra administrative duties. The council voted last fall on the increase, creating an ordinance that she is following while creating the budget.

The board approved the budget and wage recommendation 5 to 2 with the mayor voting in favor and Aldermen Sid Nelson and Jeff Wachowski absent, and Aldermen Randy Larson and Don Matteson voting against it.

Morris Lions Easter Egg Hunt marks 45th year

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – It took Morris Lions Club members 15 minutes to place 8,000 candy-filled plastic Easter eggs on the grounds of Goold Park Saturday morning and about four minutes for all 800 children to capture them and place them in their baskets.

“I’m going to hop, bounce and run fast to put the eggs in my basket,” said 4-year-old Dani Sarto of Oswego.

Before the event, Dani and her 1-year-old sister, Amelia, hung out with the Easter Bunny while mom and grandma attempted to take the perfect picture.

Event chairwoman Lori Linn said this year marks 45 years the club has sponsored the hunt during Easter.

The group buys its pre-stuffed eggs from National Entertainment Technologies Inc., which employs more than 140 adults with disabilities to stuff eggs year-round.

The park was divided into four age groups to ensure the hunt was fair for all.

At 10:30 a.m. sharp, the volunteers in each section began to count down from 10 and once the partition tape fell, hundreds of kids took off with their

More than 800 children took over Goold Park on Saturday morning for the annual Morris Lions Club Easter Egg Hunt. This year marked the event’s 45th year. hair and baskets flying in the wind.

Kids climbed park equipment and peeked in knots in the trees for eggs.

In each section, five special eggs were placed with the gold being first prize. Just minutes later, most of the eggs had a new home in a basket, plastic bag or stuffed in pockets and the children all scrambled to their parents

to dig through their loot to see if they won a prize.

In the 6- to 7-year-old section, the grass was almost cleared; the prizes had been claimed except for the gold basket, which sat lonely on the table.

Forty-year Morris Lions Club member Doug MacDonald shouted to the kids that the gold egg was not accounted for

Anniversary CD Specials Ann peci

and 10 children took off for the hunt.

A few minutes later, Patrick Phillips, 7, of Morris entered the pavilion and handed MacDonald the gold egg.

“I just wanted to find the egg,” he said.

He was excited yet bashful as the club members took many pictures because he really earned that basket.

“We almost missed the egg hunt today,” said Patrick’s mother, Trisha Phillips. “We wanted to come because the age limit is 10 and my daughter is 10 this year, so we wanted to come for one more, but I almost forgot.”

Forty-five years ago, 55-year Morris Lions Club member Ron Harseim planned the first Easter hunt which took place at Gebhard Woods State Park in Morris, but they had to hold two sessions because of little parking.

The following year, they moved it to Goold Park and the event has taken place each spring since.

“Back in the day, we used to take two nights to fill eggs with candy at the Lions Club. We would have about 150 to 200 kids then, but now we have around 800 to 1,000 kids,” Harseim said. “I just love being here and seeing the kids. We say it’s time to go and in five minutes everything is gone.”

ROOTING FOR RIVER

Community lends support to boy fighting rare form of cancer

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent Most parents dream of the day when they can plan a first birthday bash for their child filled with balloons, cake and presents as family and friends snap photos of the smash cake being devoured and their child covered in frosting.

For Lucy and Dallas Dennis of Minooka, their son, River’s, first birthday consisted of doctor’s appointments and surgery to remove a tumor after he was diagnosed with cancer, just a few days shy of his first birthday in December of 2016.

Just before Thanksgiving of 2016, River began sporadic vomiting, which alarmed the first-time parents. But even though they knew the behavior was not normal, River seemed fine most of the day. The pair took their son to his pediatrician, who thought he had a virus.

But after a few days of the same vomiting, Lucy said she knew something wasn’t right.

“Something was not sitting right with River, he couldn’t stop vomiting, and it was the strangest thing.

We took him to the hospital and his blood sugar was low, but after an x-ray, ultrasounds, and upper GI, the doctors couldn’t diagnose, so he was given antacids and sent home,” Lucy said.

Thanksgiving day, the father’s mother, who visited for the holiday, noticed River’s left eye turned in and, upon further examination, Lucy said she noticed the left side of her son’s face was droopy.

The pediatrician sent them to the hospital for an MRI, and after hours of waiting, the family was sent specifically to Lurie’s Children’s Hospital because, as Lucy recalled, “My doctor said, ‘Lucy, I think he has a brain tumor, you should not go home,’ which shocked me because she only said we were going for an examination.”

On Dec. 12, 2016, River had surgery, and a close-to-fatal removal of the tumor from his brain. After testing, River was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, mostly found in children, called atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT).

According to stjude.org, ATRT is a rare and fast-growing cancerous tumor of the brain and spinal cord.

About half of these tumors begin in the cerebellum or brain stem. ATRT

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

A few days before his first birthday in December of 2016, River was diagnosed with brain cancer. He currently is undergoing chemotherapy treatments at Lurie’s Children’s Hospital which are given to him through his central chemo line port (above). often appears to result from changes in a gene that normally makes proteins to stop tumor growth.

In ATRT, this gene does not function properly, the protein is not made and tumor growth is uncontrolled.

More than 90 percent of cases

of ATRT are related to this gene defect.

Once Dallas and Lucy got the news about this being a genetic issue, they began to look at their families and realized Dallas had a second cousin who passed away at 18 years of age from a brain tumor.

That tumor had been misdiagnosed at the time, due to lack of knowledge about ATRT, according to Dallas.

So, with both Dallas and Lucy being carriers, River was afflicted with this cancer.

Small string helps prevent big dental problems SPONSORED BY

A piece of string can help save your teeth, the cost of dental bills, and a whole lot of pain with no gain.

More than 500 species of bacteria can be found in the plaque on your teeth, according to the American Dental Association.

Some are good; some aren’t. But the plaque itself is bad. When it builds up around the teeth and gum lines, disease happens.

That begins with gingivitis, the mildest form of periodontal disease, but it can progress to more severe periodontal disease, a leading cause of tooth damage and loss. And that may also increase the risk of developing other systemic disease, such as heart disease and diabetes.

The solution is to floss, a simple cleaning of spaces between the teeth pulling a piece of waxed or unwaxed of string through, and

rubbing it up and down the teeth as you go.

It takes about a minute to floss where a toothbrush cannot reach. But, surprisingly, not enough time is the biggest reason people give for not flossing, said Dr. Eric Salud, lead dentist at Complete Comfort Dental in Channahon.

“It should be part of your regime … floss once and brush twice a day,” he said. “Flossing properly will help prevent cavities from forming, help prevent gum disease.”

Floss types are like a tiny rope, or flat.

Either will do, Salud said. Waxed floss helps get through tighter spaces between teeth.

Use a floss “pick” to reach upper and lower back corners where your fingers cannot get in with floss string. These are Y-shaped, with a toothpick handle at one end and a small strand of floss between two “posts” at the other.

If you’re not sure how to floss, ask your dentist.

Grundy County Historical Museum celebrates 50 years Fundraiser planned April 22 in Morris

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – In 1923, the Grundy County Historical Society was formed, but during the war years of the 1940s and after, the group fell by the wayside as people transitioned from war life back into a civilian way of living, Grundy County Historical Society and Museum President Donna Sroczynski said.

In 1967, however, the society was reestablished as active and will celebrate its 50-year anniversary on April 22 at the museum located at 510 West Illinois Ave., in downtown Morris.

Sroczynski said this celebration was designed for two purposes: It serves to celebrate the 50 years the group has served the county and acts as a fundraiser to fund an expansion of the existing building, or pay for a new location.

“We have had a large influx of donations.

You hear the saying, ‘If you build it, they will come.’ Well, we built it and they came. We are the attic of Grundy County,” Sroczynski said.

Sroczynski said the museum has received

a matching funds pledge up to $200,000, so each donation counts as double for the building fund. The event is casual with a cost of $50 a person. Sandwiches, sushi, fruit and cheese trays and beer and wine will be served.

Four to five items will be available for guests to bid on in a silent auction. Four dining room chairs from the 1840s covered with a cream fabric and a wooden jury chair with a black leather seat are just two groups of items on the auction block. Sroczynski showed pictures of the museum in 2009 and only a few standing displays and cases were at the site. Now, vintage glass and wood cases line the outside, inside and middle aisles of the museum, mock home fronts house period furniture, dishes and clothing, family collections hang on the walls and photos and maps that show the history of the county have been carefully displayed in poster cases.

“Our options are to add to this building or buy a building and find space elsewhere,” Sroczynski said.

The properties adjacent to the museum are not for sale, but plans have been Allison Selk for Shaw Media explored to add onto the existing propAlong with ticket sales and donations, the museum will host a silent auction for guests erty, with an approximate price tag of to place bids on various items at the Grundy County Historical Society fundraiser April 22 $450,000, which Sroczynski said seemed at the museum. An old juror chair from Grundy County will be one of the items available to be the best bet. The society has looked at many properties around the Morris during the auction.

area and what they have found has either been too small, too expensive or out of the city limits.

The museum has many documents, maps and donations filed in cabinets in offices and the meeting rooms that Sroczynski said she would love to display, but due to the fragility of the items, taking them in and out to show one guest at a time could damage them, but having a permanent place to display could keep them preserved and allow the community to enjoy.

In order to better serve Grundy County, speakers often are invited to the museum, but again, due to lack of space, meetings need to take place off of the museum property and if they are at the museum, limited space is available.

“I hope we can continue to collect pictures before they are all thrown out and collect history before another generation throws it out. We also want to present history in a way that it can be interpreted by children,” Sroczynski said.

Since the society has only 130 members, Sroczynski said she wants the residents of the county to see what is available and join the society. An annual individual fee runs $25, family $30, student $10 up to age 18, business institution $100, as well as life, patron, benefactor and non-profit memberships. Money collected will help to run and expand the offerings at the museum.

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

More than 100 people came out on Good Friday to experience the Walk with the Cross, hosted by the Morris Ministerial Administration.

The group walked to seven churches to worship and hear the last seven statements of Jesus. journey of the cross because he loves you that much,” Cook said.

The fifth stop was Canal Port-Life Church, where two words from John 19:28 were spoken, “I thirst.”

Next, the sixth words “It is fin-

ished” from John 19:30 were read at the Christian Youth Center and the last statement read was Luke 23:46 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”

“Our goal was to be Christ-centered

and help people know each other from other churches. We also want to bring attention to Holy Week and give people who may be on the fence about celebrating Easter weekend a nudge,” Backus said.

The Rev. Dr. Roy Backus of First Presbyterian Church began this tradition in Morris after he organized a similar event when we worked in a northwest Chicago suburb.

“I got the pastors together and said that we were all close enough we could do this. This walk shows Christians’ unity. The cross is our sign and symbol of what the Lord has done for us. Today is a unified picture of what Christ has done for us,” Backus said.

At 1 p.m., the group made its way to Living Water Church of the Nazarene with siblings Meghan, Noah and Sean Smith carrying the cross.

“It’s humbling and powerful to carry it and think of what Jesus went through,” said Meghan Smith, 18, of Morris.

Once at the church, Pastor Steve Cook led with two songs, and then the fourth statement, “Eli Eli lama sabachthani?” Which means, “My God, My God, why have your forsaken me?” from Matthew 27:46.

“It’s a reminder that each and every one of us of what he has done and completed for you, for me. Place your name on this on this journey today.

Channahon discusses allowing chickens in village

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent

in fiscal 2018.

“We are essentially balanced and are steadily improving over the past year,” she said at the previous board meeting. “Our budget is able to withstand two new positions and several capital projects.”

The budget includes funds that will be spent on the Bridge Street bike path, a snow plow, two new police cars, a code enforcement officer and a public works office assistant, Wagonblott said, and $20,000 to devote to a new beautification effort.

The board Monday also learned that the Illinois Department of Transportation will be doing road work on a section of Route 6 from Bell Road to the west, approximately 1,050 feet. Construction is tentatively scheduled for this summer, the IDOT memo stated, subject to “project readiness and funding availability.”

Also Monday, Police Chief Jeff Wold accepted a donation of $1,125 from the Bowling with the Docs Challenge that will go toward the department’s K-9 unit. Ginny Capellini and Joanne Oddo represented the Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center 7 West orthopedic staff and orthopedic council to donate the check at the meeting.

A seat may open on the Channahon village board this week, as the Will County Board votes Thursday whether to accept the nomination of longtime Channahon Trustee Debbie Militello to fill a seat on its board.

With the gracious donors who give to the Ronald McDonald house, they have somewhere inexpensive to stay, but still have to pay for meals and $15 parking at the hospital each day.

Lucy said River will have to have MRIs for the rest of his life due to the nature of the cancer and they are trying to treat it any way they can.

“We call it the kitchen sink treatment. We are doing everything we possibly can. He will be susceptible to secondary cancers. It’s a crazy world this cancer world,” Lucy said.

The community has held various fundraisers for River, with one being at Dock Rotz Tavern in Minooka in February, and one April 1 at The Crowd Around Us in Shorewood. Lucy received donations of diapers and clothes from members of the Facebook group Moms of Minooka as well.

“Moms have a certain empathy there. It’s rough at times because we don’t have a lot of family near us,” Lucy said.

River will have to undergo 12 chemotherapy treatments at Lurie’s Children’s Hospital, which take a few days each treatment to finish. The first was in January 2017, and due to reactions from the treatment, River was in the hospital for 26 days that month. After his February treatment, he stayed in the hospital for 14 days.

“The first two rounds were hard on him; they knocked the wind of out his sails. If he gets of a fever of 101 degrees we have to go back to the hospital,” Lucy said.

Because the treatments and threat of a reaction could land River back into the hospital at any given moment, Lucy quit working. Lucy and Dallas also found out just before River was diagnosed that Lucy was pregnant. So preparing for a baby girl, to be born in June, has kept them busy as well.

The pair learned that their insurance did not cover treatments at Lurie’s Children’s Hospital, but because of the rarity of the cancer, Lurie’s was the best place for him since the hospital was already in the process of researching the cancer.

OPINIONS

Rauner tour was an early campaign show As you know by now, Gov. Bruce Rauner toured the state for two days last week. He denied that the tour had anything to do with the 2018 election, but it was pretty darned clear that he and his team were tuning up the band for the big show down the road.

Campaign funds not only paid for the tour, but political money also was used to promote in it advance. I’m told Rauner’s advertising on social and online media served over a million impressions in the days leading up to the fly-around.

And like a musician touring to promote a new album, Rauner played up his latest hits. The “Chicago Machine Democrats” just want to “duct tape” the state’s problems instead of fixing them.

Rauner’s latest TV ads, paid for by a “dark money” subsidiary of the Republican Governors Association, feature him in a pristine workshop using duct tape to explain how Springfield politicians don’t ever really fix problems.

Whatever he lacks in governing abilities, there’s no doubt that Gov. Rauner is a master at laying out a very simple, popular and easy to understand message and then staying on that message no matter what.

During his Peoria appearance, Rauner slammed the House Democrats’ stopgap budget as just “taping over our problems – duct-taping cracks in our system.” The only thing missing was the bright, sharply pressed flannel shirt he wore in the TV ad.

As with all established bands on tour, the governor also played popular tunes from his recent albums.

Since about the beginning of the year, when he was asked by a reporter to grade his first two years in office, Rauner has repeatedly pointed to his own successes at unilaterally cutting unspecified waste from the system (which plays right into the hugely popular notion that waste is the state’s biggest problem) and then contrasted that with the obstructionism of the “Madigan Democrats” in the General Assembly.

“They’ve created the worst crisis of any state in America,” Rauner said of the Democrats while speaking in Springfield. “On things that I can control, we’ve done wonderfully. Where the General Assembly has blocked progress, they’ve made the problem

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller worse.”

Rauner even brought back a line from his February budget address, when he encouraged the Senate’s leaders to hammer out a grand bargain. He spoke about that effort as if he’d never actually knocked the grand bargain off the rails in March.

And, of course, he brought out the old standards that he’s been playing for years: Property tax freeze, term limits and becoming “much more pro-growth, pro-business, pro-investment, pro-job creation,” as he said in Rockford.

The Democratic candidates, for their part, stuck to their #DoYourJob theme in response to Rauner’s tour, saying the governor should be getting a budget deal done rather than campaigning.

Much of the Chicago-based print media focused on the fact that Rauner denied he was campaigning while obviously campaigning. But they never put that into the broader context of the governor’s habit of saying one thing (cheerleading the Senate’s grand bargain) while doing another (killing the Senate’s grand bargain).

Channel 7, the most-watched television station in the Chicago area, ran a purely positive piece. Rauner also appeared via phone on several talk radio programs during his tour and faced mostly softball questions from conservative hosts. Even conservative activist Dan Proft, who has sharply criticized the governor on his radio program since the start of the year, allowed Rauner to endlessly rattle on about his main talking points, duct tape and all, without much of a peep.

For those on Rauner’s side, this was a good tour. For those on the other side (and polls show there are a lot of them), well, they wouldn’t like it anyway.

Those in the middle probably got the message that the governor and his team wanted to send, with a big assist from the media.

Increased corn yield, lower prices Soybeans have become more important to area farmers

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent Grundy County farmer Paul Jeschke said that for the first time in 20 years, he will plant equal acres of corn and soybeans this 2017 planting season due to the low price of corn and higher prices of soybeans at sale.

“This is nothing new. Anyone with any amount of farming under their belt can look at the cyclical nature of farming,” Jeschke said.

Jeschke also serves as a volunteer on the Illinois Corn Marketing Board and said the hits farmers have been taking the past couple of years due to low corn prices are forecasted to be the same this year due to two main reasons.

One reason was due to the technology and genetics, which allowed farmers to grow better yields than in the past.

He said farmers have doubled what they can produce in the past 25 to 30 years due to genetics and GMO technologies.

The second reason corn was at a high surplus was due to the short-term good weather, except the 2012 drought, but from 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 farmers grew bumper crops, and surplus builds quickly.

FS Grain, LLC Business Development Manager Rodney Connor said in Grundy County farmers have grown 190 to 200 bushels per acre of corn, compared with five years ago, when farmers were getting 180 to 185 bushels per acre. He also said in the last five years Grundy County farmers have grown a ratio of 70 percent corn and 30 percent soybeans, but in 2017, the ratio was predicted to be closer to 50/50.

Grundy County Farm Bureau Manager Victoria Wax said in Grundy County there are about 217,000 acres of farmland in production with 48 percent used to grow corn. Connor said in 2013, 112,000 acres of corn were planted on farms in Grundy County. In 2016 the number of acres of corn planted was down to 104,500.

“This is typical. Every farmer knew it was going to happen. High corn yields lead to low prices. In 2012 and 2013 farmers were ramping up the corn production, which led to the decrease in price.

Because corn was king, guys threw all their money at corn and ran out of money when it came to soybeans,” Connor said.

Connor said soybeans now are more profitable, with large jumps in production. He said that five years ago, a farmer could yield 45 to 50 bushels an acre and now they see 60 up to 65 bushels

Corn is at a high surplus this season due to technology and genetics, which allowed farmers to grow better yields than in the past.

an acre.

“Guys are now adopting new technology and paying closer attention to soybeans than they did in the past,” Connor said.

Although soybeans seem to be the way to go, Jeschke said farmers know the dangers of planting soybeans after soybeans on the same field due to a risk of disease, and will continue to rotate crops, and plant corn. Country-wide it was predicted that 3 million fewer acres of corn will be planted and 3 million more acres of soybeans will be planted for 2017, Jeschke said.

“A 50/50 rotation is about as heavy

of a soybean cycle you want to get here with our soil in Grundy County because of the risk of disease,” Jeschke said.

Jeschke said even though farmers have lost money the past couple of years, there are hopes they took advantage of the higher-priced years and saved and used techniques to save on costs now.

He said that between the years of 2007 and 2015 corn crops led to financially good times, with the exception of the drought of 2012, and when farmers make money, they tend to spend it to pay down debt, pay ahead and buy new equipment.

“The inventory of items to make farming possible should be in pretty good shape, and some farmers are able to cut back now on making purchases on those large items because they have a good line-up,” Jeschke said.

He also said farmers can find other ways to make up for the costs that were lost by cutting the use of fertilizer on land that they feel has been fertilized enough the year before, buying seed brands from three to four years ago which have lower prices, using generic herbicides, and negotiating land rents for those who farm rented land.

Connor said farmers may have old crop corn sitting on the farm and even thought the cash price is low, the yields were phenomenal, so there is more to sell. In order to capture a good price, Connor suggests selling corn early between March 20 and June 16 for the 2017 harvest in order to lock in a rate the farmer may feel is a good price. It also gets some sales on the books, rather than being forced to sell in October at the only price available.

Connor said that, for now, he sees a trend in more soybeans being planted to rescue from bad corn prices due to bankers putting pressure on their farming clients to plant soybeans because loans are less and soybeans cost less to plant, and a high demand in the Chinese markets which he said is “strong and ramping up.”

COAL CITY – Street Corner Symphony is a six-man group from Nashville and they are coming Saturday to Coal City.

The a cappella group will perform in the Coal City Unit 1 Auditorium at Coal City High School as part of the Megan Bugg Concert Series.

The daughter of Kent and Debbie Bugg, Megan is a sophomore at Coal City High School.

When Megan was first diagnosed with Stage 4 ARMS (alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma) on Dec. 30, 2014, she only had two days off until she started her 54-week chemo treatment plan. During those two days off, Megan only had one request, which was to see the musical production of “Newsies,” in Chicago.

This spring, Megan was able to realize her dream of participating in the Coal City High School musical production of “The Little Mermaid.”

“Throughout Megan’s battle with cancer, music and theater have served as an important outlet for her,” said her father, Kent Bugg, who is the superintendent of the Coal City Unit 1 School District.

“With that love of theater in mind, Megan and our family were looking for a way to give something back to our community, which has

been so supportive of us throughout Megan’s battle. We thought the best way to say thank you would be to start the Megan Bugg Concert Series, which would bring quality professional concerts to our community,” Kent Bugg said.

The concert series kicked off last spring with a performance by The Texas Tenors. This season starts with Street Corner Symphony. SCS came to international notoriety in 2010 when they became runners-up on NBC’s “The Sing Off.” Since then, the men of SCS have performed around the world giving benefits, clinics and concerts, as well as recording two full albums and numerous singles.

The six men of Street Corner Symphony are Adam Chance, Mark McLemore, Kurt Zimmerman and brothers, Jeremy, Jonathan and Richie Lester. Experts in multiple styles of music, SCS is comfortable moving between most any genre of music, appealing to young and old alike.

Reserved seat tickets are available online at bit.ly/CCSCS422.

Student admission is $15 and $20 for adults.

The ticket site will automatically locate the best available seats, however, concert-goers can select their own seats simply by clicking on “let me choose my seats” located under the seating chart.

Morris Lions Club donates to GRO as part of its centennial celebration SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Morris Lions Club donated $500 to a recent fundraiser for GRO, Grundy Resource Organization, to help provide food to local people in our communities.

The donation is part of the centennial celebration of Lions International, in the area of fighting hunger.

“It costs the organization approximately $500 each month to provide over $20,000 retail value worth of food to those in need in Grundy County, we are honored that the Morris Lions Club not only understands the needs of our community but also stepped up to cover a month’s worth of services to help the over 560 clients we currently serve,” GRO president Heidi Litch-

field said.

The check was presented at the inaugural fundraiser for GRO at Clayton’s Tap in Morris, where the community came together and helped to raise nearly $6,000 for the organization to help purchase a truck and pay monthly expenses.

GRO is operated completely by volunteers with no paid staff, which allows them to keep expenses low while providing service to residents older than 62, persons with a disability, veterans and low-income families in and around Grundy County.

Judy Miller, with the Lions Club, said that when the club looked at ways to fight hunger, they looked at local organizations who are doing the job of feeding those in need.

COAL CITY – At 3 a.m. April 6, 1917, the United States declared a state of war with Imperial Germany and her allies, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Turkey.

WWI had been going on since August of 1914, but the U.S., following George Washington’s admonition to “avoid foreign entanglements,” had remained neutral. Germany’s resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare resulting in the sinking of two U.S. flagged merchant vessels, City of Memphis and Illinois and the “Zimmerman note,” where the German Foreign Minister attempted to lure Mexico into attacking the United States with offers of financial assistance and the understanding that Mexico would regain lost territory comprising Texas, Arizona and New Mexico swept away most of the resistance in the congress to declaring war.

Our local community contributed 241 men and five women to “The War to End All Wars” of which nine men made the ultimate sacrifice, their service is honored on the community Veteran’s Memorial. The Veteran’s Memorial is located on the Coal City Intermediate School grounds at 305 E. Division.

St. Juvin Post 1336, named after a small French village near the Belgian border, the site of a 10-day battle 8-18 October 1917 during the Muse-Argonne Offensive, was founded March 21, 1925, by 26 local WWI and 1 Spanish-American War veterans.

In co-operation with the Coal City Public Library District, St. Juvin Post is commemorating this watershed event in American history with a display in the entrance to the library. The display features a Pattern of 1917 winter service coat and overseas cap worn by Corporal

Charles O. Brown. Brown, who lived in Coal City from 1957 to 1963, enlisted in the Army in December 1917 at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis Missouri, arrived in St. Nazaire, France, in May of 1918 and was discharged at Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois, in June of 1919.

Brown was a member of the 307th Butchery Company, Quartermaster Corps U.S. Army attached to the 3rd Infantry Division, which acquired its nickname, “Rock of the Marne,” during WWI. In 1918, mechanical refrigeration to freeze meat and keep it frozen for long-distance shipment was relatively unknown, so in order to supply troops with meat, cattle, hogs and sheep were transported live and then processed near where they were needed. Butchery Companies were responsible for receiving the live animals, supervising their processing and delivering the meat products to other units for preparation to feed the troops. Most of the actual meat processing was done by French civilians, under Quartermaster Corps supervision, who were employed by the Army.

Brown was the father of St. Juvin Post 1336 Cmdr. Charles R. Brown and also a member of the VFW. Also featured in the display are reproductions of period recruiting posters by artists James Montgomery Flagg, famous for his “I Want You for the U.S. Army” poster featuring Uncle Sam, and Howard Chandler Christy, best known for his illustrations of young women in an idealistic style that became collectively known as “Christy Girls.”

The members of St. Juvin Post and the library staff invite you to stop by and view a part of our community’s history from 100 years ago and join with the community at the Memorial Day observance at 11 a.m. May 29 at the Intermediate School.

SPRINGFIELD – Volunteers can provide critical assistance in disaster preparedness, response and recovery efforts in Illinois.

Throughout April, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and local emergency management agencies will highlight ways Illinois residents can help their communities be more resilient.

“Before disaster strikes, volunteers can promote personal preparedness so that people in their communities can stay safe during emergencies,” said IEMA Director James K. Joseph. “When a disaster strikes, voluntary organizations help people in their community, region or across the country. Volunteers even play a vital role in ensuring the long-term recovery of a community affected by a disaster.”

Joseph said more than 50 communities have established Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) that have been used to help make their communities safer, stronger and better prepared to respond to and recover from emergencies.

Nearly 100 local CERT members re-

cently participated in a day of training during the seventh annual Prairie State CERT Challenge at Joliet Junior College in Joliet. The event was sponsored

by IEMA and hosted by Will County Emergency Management Agency.

The day’s activities involved training focused on disaster recovery activities, such as damage assessments, donations management, spontaneous volunteers and Multi-Agency Resource Centers.

Disaster volunteer opportunities vary from community to community. People interested in learning more about how to volunteer to help before, during or after a disaster can contact local voluntary organizations or their local emergency management agency for information about opportunities in their area.

CERT information for Grundy County can be obtained through the Grundy County Emergency Management Agency, GCEMA, at 815-941-3212 or by visiting the county website, www.grundyco. org and following the Emergency Management volunteeer link to print out and complete a volunteer recruitment and placement form, and bringing it in to the County EMA office.

MORRIS – When it comes to high schools and conference affiliation, change has been one of the few constants over the past couple of decades.

Given school enrollment increases and decreases, some districts are no longer compatible with the rest of their conference members.

With Seneca announcing that it is leaving the Interstate Eight Conference, the I-8 sent out invitations to other schools that it thought might have an interest in joining. One of those came to Morris Community High School, and the administration and school board have begun to discuss the possibility of a move. With Seneca’s departure, the Interstate Eight will consist of Coal City, Peotone, Sandwich, Streator, Manteno, Reed-Custer, Wilmington, Westmont, Lisle, Plano and Herscher.

Such a switch would not be unprecedented, as Morris left the Southwest Prairie Conference to join the NCIC and then the Northern Illinois Big 12 in the past few years. Current Northern Illinois Big 12 members include DeKalb, Geneseo, LaSalle-Peru, Kaneland, Morris, Ottawa, Rochelle, Sterling, Sycamore and Yorkville.

Streator switched over from the Northern Illinois Big 12 to the Interstate Eight a couple of years ago.

Morris Principal Kelly Hussey let it be known that a Morris move to the Interstate Eight is certainly not etched in stone.

“It’s definitely still in the infant stages,” he said. “We got the invitation and took it to the school board,” he said. “Even if, after doing all our research, we decide to accept the offer, we are not sure that the I-8 will accept us. There may be another school that they sent an invitation to that fits what they want better than we do. Or they might decide in the end to keep their numbers at 11 schools.

“It’s something for us to look at and consider, though.”

Hussey noted that there would be a significant cut in travel time and expense if the Redskins were to join the Interstate Eight, which benefits more than just the school district’s bottom line.

“We have to look at everything,” he said. “Not only the expense, but the time aspect of it. There are weeknight games or events that aren’t getting kids home until very late, and they still have homework to do.

“And, like now in the spring when a lot of athletic events start at 4:30 p.m., the kids have to get out of class

Area sports fans could see a lot more of Morris vs. Coal City matchups if Morris makes a switch from the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference to the Interstate Eight. early because of the distance they have to travel, and they are missing face time with their teachers. We have to take all of that into consideration and come up with the best decision for everyone involved – the kids, their parents and our staff and administration.”

From a numbers standpoint, the enrollment of the largest school in the Interstate Eight, Streator, is 947.

The average enrollment of schools in the Northern Illinois Big 12, excluding Morris, is 1,268, nearly 25 percent larger than the biggest in the I-8. The longest trip for Morris in the Interstate Eight checks in at 51 miles to

Westmont, as opposed to an average trip of 57 miles in the Northern Illinois Big 12.

For Morris athletic director Jeff Johnson, the decision comes down to much more than just level of competition.

“A lot of these I-8 schools are growing in enrollment and catching up to us,” he said. “If you look at our regionals the last few years in a lot of sports, those are the teams we are running up against. Coal City, Peotone, Manteno, Plano. The bigger schools in that conference are growing and will probably catch up to us soon.

“We would go from being the second-smallest school in our conference to being the second-largest in the I-8. But that works both ways. Our boys basketball team won a regional this year with not a very good conference record, but playing the teams we played in the conference made us battle-tested when the postseason came.”

It’s been that way in football quite a few years, too. The competition we face week in and week out prepares us very well.”

But there are more than just the outcomes of games to consider.

• CONFERENCE Continued from page 39 “We also have to look at levels of competition,” Johnson said. “Will these schools be able to have three levels [varsity, sophomore and freshman] in the sports we have three levels in? And, of course, travel enters into it as well. There are a lot of factors that we have to consider, and we are just starting the process. We want to make it clear that we are not unhappy in the Northern Illinois Big 12. This just gives us option to look at and see if it fits us better.”

Coal City athletic director Dan Hutchings said he thinks that Morris, among other schools, would be a good fit in the conference.

“I think the other schools in the conference would welcome Morris,” he said. “I know we would. For us, it’s a natural rival, just a few miles away. We play each other in most every sport already, and we will play each other in football starting in 2018.

“We have to look at everything. Not only the expense, but the time aspect of it. There are weeknight games or events that aren’t getting kids home until very late, and they still have homework to do.”

Kelly Hussey Morris principal “When Seneca decided to leave, that left a spot open and we as a conference wanted to be as transparent as possible and sent out notifications to schools in the area that there was a spot open. We have gotten a few letters of interest from other schools, and Morris is one of them. Morris certainly has a long tradition of strong athletic programs and our conference would benefit from competing against them.”

A: An ingrown toenail is one that

treated with antiglare (AR) coatings. These coatings have antireflective properties and have improved a lot over the last several years from the easily scratched and smeared coatings of the past. Intended to reduce eye fatigue, increase visual acuity and contrast, as well as make the lenses more cosmetically appealing, AR is useless if dirty or scratched. Current coatings are technologically advanced to repel water, oil, and dust particles and to resist scratches. They are applied to a lens in a multilayer process. The more layers that are applied, the more reflections are eliminated.

Even though modern day AR is superior to the coatings of the past, if you don’t take the time to be careful cleaning your lenses, as directed by your doctor’s office, they will scratch easily and cause greater harm than good. If you are willing to take the extra time, and willing to pay the extra price, the outcome is usually very positive.

Too often tight shoes, tight socks and incorrect nail trimming are to blame, but in some cases heredity also plays a part in our nails’ tendency to curve. Tips: 1) teach children from a young age to trim their toenails properly, in a straight line and not too short, 2) make sure shoes fit properly with width being most important, 3) reduce inflammation by soaking in room-temperature water and gently massaging the side of the nail fold, 4) see a foot doctor (podiatrist) right away, and 5) never dig the nail out or cut it off, as this “bathroom surgery” carries a high risk of infection.

BASEBALL: COAL CITY 13, MORRIS 5

Coal City Coalers power past Morris Redskins

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Through its first 14 games, the most runs the Coal City baseball team had scored in a game was seven.

On a beautiful day for baseball Saturday, the Coalers nearly doubled that in a 13-5 win over nonconference rival Morris.

“We really struggled at the plate at the beginning of the year,” Coal City coach Jerry McDowell said. “We came into today hitting about .240 as a team. But we have been swinging the bats better lately, and we really swung them well today.

“Our pitching and defense have been solid all year, so as soon as the bats get going, we will be tough to beat.”

Morris (9-5) found that out the hard way. After scoring twice in the top of the first, the Redskins saw Coal City put up 11 unanswered runs before moving the scoreboard again in the top of the sixth.

Much of that was due to the pitching of Coal City’s Justin Dabulskis, who didn’t allow a run and faced the minimum 12 hitters in the four innings after the first

that he pitched.

“I was just trying to keep my head in the game,” Dabulskis said. “I made some mistakes in the first inning, but after we got the lead, I just concentrated on throwing strikes. It was nice knowing that the offense had my back.

“It’s always good to beat a rival and [potential] regional team like Morris.”

With one out in the top of the first, Morris’ Danny Borgstrom hit a bloop single to right. the first of his three hits that led the Redskin offense. Borgstrom then stole second and went to third on a wild pitch before coming in to score on a single by Kameron Dransfeldt. Courtesy runner Nathan Wantland then score second and scored on a single by Tyler Dunne for a 2-0 Morris lead. Coal City had early scoring on its mind as well, and answered with three runs in the bottom of the first. With one out, Jake Brnca singled, then scored on a double to left-center

by Blake Harseim. It was one of two doubles for Harseim, who also walked and was hit by a pitch to reach base in all four plate appearances. After Payton Hutch-

ings walked, Alex Friddle hit a single to left that scored Harseim and sent Hutchings to third. Zack Nolan followed with a grounder to the mound, and Hutchings scored from third on the throw to first.

Dabulskis retired Morris in order in the second and, with one out in the bottom of the inning, Dean Moir gave Coal City a 4-2 lead with a solo home run to left.

Keegan Gagliardo then singled and Brnca walked before Harseim doubled to left, scoring Gagliardo.

Hutchings followed with a sacrifice fly to center for a 6-2 Coaler lead and an error on a ball hit by Nolan scored Harseim for a 7-2 edge. Nolan was then picked off first, but stayed in a rundown long enough for Friddle, who had walked, to score and make it 8-2 after two innings.

“We just stopped competing after the first inning,” Morris coach Todd Kein said. “We faced a little adversity and shut down. We need to make adjustments during the game. We had some times when mental weakness led to physical problems. This is not the type of momentum we wanted heading into conference

Monday [against Sycamore]. It will be a long conference season if we keep playing like we did today.”

Coal City (10-5) scored on an RBI double by Gagliardo in the third and added two more runs in the bottom of the fifth to go ahead 11-2. Morris got three in the sixth. Michael Metesh started the inning with a single up the middle, followed by walks to Dransfeldt and Ben Larson to load the bases.

Dunne was hit by a pitch to force home Metesh and Andy Peters followed with an infield single to drive home courtesy runner Nathan Wantland. Another run scored when Kenny Graman grounded into a double play. Coal City’s final two runs came on a two-out, two-run single by Austin Mellen.

“This was a typical Morris-Coal City game,” McDowell said. “We knew Morris would keep fighting, which they did.

Justin really settled in nice after the first inning and Blake continues to hit the ball real well. And, we got a good relief outing on the mound by Beau Wills. This was a good win for us.”

BASEBALL: SYCAMORE 5, MORRIS 1

Morris baseball silenced by Sycamore in NIB 12 opener

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – During the course of a baseball season, a team is going to have its share of ups and downs. For the Morris baseball team, the last three games have trended toward the down cycle, with Monday’s 5-1 loss to Sycamore open the Northern Illinois Big 12 season extending a losing streak to three.

Even with the loss, there were bright spots that coach Todd Kein could pick out. One of those came in the form of sophomore starting pitcher Jacob Overbeck, who suffered the loss but earned the praise of his coach.

“Jacob threw well,” Kein said. “He goes out there and he competes, each and every time he pitches. And he’s the youngest pitcher we have.

“We knew coming in that Sycamore

always puts the ball in play hard. They have done that for years and years. You know you are going to give up three, four, five runs every time you play them. It’s just the way they play. Their outs are productive and they make you make plays.”

The game began with Sycamore’s Logan Riley reaching second on a throwing error on a ball hit to short. Zach Carlsen followed with a walk and winning pitcher Jack Mizgalski singled to right to load the bases. Another single

by James Marcinkowski scored Riley for a 1-0 lead before anyone was out and the bases were still loaded. Overbeck then induced Tyler Didio to ground into a double play to second, scoring Carlsen, before striking out Jacob Cavanaugh to end the threat.

It was one of those half-innings that had a bright and dark side for each

114 W. North St., Morris (815) 942-0017

team.

“We shouldn’t have been in that situation to begin with because of the error and the walk to the first two guys,” Kein said. “But to get out of bases loaded and nobody out with only two runs is pretty good. We could have been looking at a four or five-run inning there.”

“We would have liked to tack on a few more there,” Sycamore coach Jason Cavanaugh said. “But giving a pitcher like Jack [Mizgalski] two runs before he even takes the mound is a pretty good way to start a game.”

Mizgalski made sure the lead held up, mixing up his fastball and breaking pitches effectively and throwing both for strikes. He finished with nine strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings before giving way to Carlsen in the sixth.

Morris (9-6, 0-1) got a run back in the bottom of the second. Michael Metesh

led off with a singe and went to second on a wild pitch. A grounder to second by Tyler Dunne moved him to third and, after an error and a popup, Dylan Callahan singled through the middle to score Metesh and make it 2-1.

In the bottom of the third, Danny Borgstrom reached on an error. He went to third on an infield single by Kam Dransfeldt when the throw to first went awry, but was called out at home trying to score on a wild pitch.

Sycamore added three insurance runs in the top of the fifth, getting RBI singles by Mizgalski and Gage Armstrong and a sacrifice fly by Jacob Cavanaugh.

Trailing 5-1, Morris loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the seventh, but Carlsen got a grounder back to him for a force at home and a grounder to short to end the game.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers boy will get quite lonely. This means that he is more susceptible to your calling now than he was earlier in the day, but there is one catch. That bird is more likely to come to your decoys completely silent.

I have had this happen many times. I would be set up for a sunrise hunt, it didn’t work out and I prepare for a late-morning outing. I think every time I have bagged birds after 10 a.m. each of them came in without a single sound.

I remember the first time this happened to me. I was hunting with a buddy and we were changing locations for our late-morning hunt. We spotted three big birds cruising the edge of a field. We moved down the road and placed our decoys about 200

yards away.

I called, waited a bit, and then called some more. I wasn’t yelping like some crazy hen that had lost her mind, but instead I would pause between calls. I might even wait a minute or two, then make a few more soft clucks and purrs. Every now and then I might throw in an excited yelp for good measure, but nothing like you might do at first light.

After 30 minutes, my buddy started to get up. I asked what he was doing and he said he was leaving. Those birds weren’t going to come. Thankfully, my turkey hunting mentor in Alabama taught me enough that I still had confidence those birds were on their way. I persuaded him to give it another 15 minutes.

He nestled back into some brush and leaned against a tree. He just got quiet when I noticed a red, white and blue head peeking over a clump of grass. A second later, all three toms came into view of our decoys and started to strut and drum.

The eyes on my buddy were the size of dish plates. I smiled under my mask and almost laughed out loud.

That morning hunt turned out to be a success. Keep in mind, though, we bagged one of those toms nearly six hours after we first saw the sun come up. That takes a lot of patience.

I know not everyone has the chance to stay out that long, but if you do, your odds go way up when those gobblers lose their hens for the day and are still looking for some companionship.

I prefer the excitement of the morning fly down and gobbling just a much as the next hunter, but there is something quite satisfying knowing that you were patient, understood the bird’s routine, and walk out of the woods in the late morning with your spring turkey. Have confidence and be ready for a silent approach. Good luck as the 2017 season winds down.

As the 2017 turkey season winds down, it seems like the birds can be more and more difficult to bring to a call. The brush gets thick, there are fewer hens actively looking for gobblers, and it warms up quicker.

All of these factors often cause a turkey hunter to pick up and leave the woods much sooner than they should.

Everyone that pursues the almighty thunder chicken, as a friend of mine calls them, lives for that moment when the bird calls on the roost, you call back, they answer, then fly down, and march right toward your setup. Yes, this happens, but not as often as we would like.

When a gobbler hits the ground and finds hens, he often goes silent and has no reason to wander off and pursue your calling that may be a hundred yards away. The ticket to success is to stay in the woods and be patient.

Those early morning hens will leave that tom and head toward their nesting areas. When they do, the big

46 ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER

Source of headache frustrates patient Dear Doctor: I’ve always had headaches, from the time I was a teenager. But now I get them more often – about one headache per week. Is this a warning sign of something?

Dear Reader: Headache is among the most common – and ancient – of physical complaints. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t suffered from a headache at some point in time.

Mentions of headache in written texts date back to 1200 B.C., and treatments over the centuries have included the use of leeches, garlic, oil in the ear, tying a dead mole to one’s head (no, we’re not making this up), magnets, electricity, psychotherapy and that universal refuge, the soothing bath.

Most headaches are periodic bouts of pain centered in the head and/or neck. It’s not the brain tissue itself that’s sending pain signals – it’s the surrounding tissues, blood vessels and nerves that serve the area. Many headaches respond to medication and lifestyle changes. Some, however, like migraines, may persist despite treatment. Some headaches can be warning signs of larger problems such as blood clot, stroke or tumor. Thankfully, those are rare.

Although there are many different types of headache, most fall into four major categories: • Tension headaches are the most common, marked by dull pressure, like a band tightening around your forehead.

• Sinus headaches, which cause a deep, throbbing pain, occur when the cavities around the cheeks, nose and forehead become inflamed.

• Cluster headaches, marked by severe pain in and around one eye, get their name because they often occur in clusters, but they are less common.

• Migraines, which can last for hours or even days, cause debilitating pain, often on

one side of the head. They can be accompanied by flashes of light, photosensitivity, a blind spot in the field of vision, tingling sensations on the skin and nausea.

Headaches can also be the result of factors such as eye strain, allergy, hunger or fasting, fever, fatigue, dental problems, lack of fluids and hangover, to name just a few. The truth is, the subject of headache is vast and extremely complex. And despite many strides forward (remember that dead-mole-on-thehead cure?), science still has more questions than answers.

What signals that a headache may be something to worry about?

• A major change to the pattern of your headaches, such as going from a few per month to one per day.

• The sudden onset of persistent headaches, particularly after age 50.

• A headache that is the most severe you have ever had.

• The onset of a headache after a traumatic event to the head.

• Any headache that alters cognitive function, is accompanied by fever and a stiff neck, or includes symptoms like slurred speech, blurred vision, weakness, numbness or seizures.

These can be signs of underlying conditions such as head injury, infection, tumor, high blood pressure, fluid buildup in the skull, decrease in blood flow or bleeding in the brain.

This all sounds alarming, so let us assure you again that these conditions are rare.

However, if any of the above happen to you, please be safe and seek immediate care.

• 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.

In the new episode “Dembe Zumba,” Red’s (James Spader) right-hand man Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) is located after being missing, only for Aram (Amir Arison) to disappear. Then, in another new episode titled “Requiem,” Red tries to preserve the covert network of criminals he’s established — though an enemy is determined to dismantle it.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Scandal The Electoral College is about to weigh in on the outcome of the presidential election in the new episode “Trojan Horse.” Olivia (Kerry Washington) and her colleagues try to play a role in how that turns out, but additional developments suggest that may not be possible.

8 p.m. on R WPWR H1Z1: Fight for the Crown Gamers will recognize part of the title of this new special, bringing the conclusion of an online contest — “H1Z1: King of the Kill” — to broadcast television. The finalists are comprised of 15 teams with five players each, so a lot is going on as all involved vie for their share of the $100,000 prize money.

8:01 p.m. on @ WFLD Kicking & Screaming It’s down to the last three teams by the end of the new episode “Fear Pong,” as alliances leave some contestants on the outside — which does nothing to alleviate tensions among the group, all the better for television-ready drama. The ever-lessening food supply prompts some hard decisions ultimately connected to the reward challenge. Hannah Simone (“New Girl”) is the host.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ First Dates Arriving at a first date with a checklist for your potential partner might not be the best idea, as is demonstrated by the new episode “A Cat Is a Red Flag.” From that title, something tells us that a pet feline is not one of the desired elements in this case.

Another dater gets caught in a series of lies ... which is especially not pretty when it happens on camera. Drew Barrymore narrates the unscripted series executive-produced by Ellen DeGeneres.

7 p.m. on _ WLS The Toy Box New twists on a playtime staple — building blocks — inform this new episode of the series that potentially brings a toy from inception to market.

Also featured during the hour is an Illinois developer’s idea for a therapy doll. Eric Stonestreet (“Modern Family”) is the host.

Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) may be the key to preventing a larger crisis.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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