when hard work pays off

At the beginning of the winter sports season, my daughter informed me she was going to try out for the wrestling team at Shabbona Middle School.

It didn’t come as a huge surprise to me, as she had mentioned it from time to time for about a year.

I wasn’t about to say no. How else will she find out where her interests lie if she doesn’t try?

As the tryout day approached, she kept reminding me that it was coming up. I told her to go ahead and give it a shot.

That also came with a warning that wrestling is a tough sport and that, if she made the team, there would be no quitting once practice started and she found out just how tough it was.

It has been tough – but she hasn’t quit. She has the distinction of being the only girl on the team.

It’s been a long season, and she has learned a lot.

Not only has she gained some moves on the mat, but she has learned what it’s like to be a teammate – to cheer and support the other team members, to do what she can to help, and to work hard and improve.

The conference meet was held Saturday.

All the teams in the Illinois Valley Conference descended upon the fieldhouse at Reed-Custer and all four mats had constant action on both the varsity and JV levels.

My daughter was JV and was going to have three matches during the day.

Having seen most of her matches this season, I was mentally and emotionally prepared for just about any outcome.

Rob Oesterle Except one.

I have gotten pretty good at helping her deal with frustration, giving her a pat on the back, and telling her how I could tell she tried her best and was getting better after she got pinned or lost a match.

What I wasn’t prepared for was when everything clicked during her first match, and she got her opponent on his back.

The ref slapped the mat to signal a pin – with her as the winner.

The look of surprise and then absolute joy on her face when she won is a moment I will never forget.

All the hard work had paid off.

She smiled from ear to ear.

Her coach jumped off his chair and raised his arms like Rocky Balboa.

Her father cried. It was all he could do.

She had two more matches that day. She got pinned in the next match and the final one went all three periods.

She lost, 12-2, but she didn’t get pinned. So, there was still the pat on the back, the reminder that she worked hard.

But, in the end, there was that win, that moment of joy that can never be taken away.

And that’s priceless.

14-year-old Megan Bugg beats the odds with positivity in 14-month cancer battle

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Megan Bugg was welcomed back to school this week by friends, teachers and classmates.

After nearly 14 months away from what many teens view as a daily burden, the 14-year-old Coal City High School freshman is regaining a sense of normalcy.

Since December 2014, Megan has been fighting a much bigger battle than that against textbooks and gossip.

She’s been fighting stage 4 cancer.

A Christmas nightmare

Megan was diagnosed Dec. 30, 2014, with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cancer after her father, Coal City District 1 Superintendent Kent Bugg, noticed a bump on her arm on Christmas Day. Megan later told her father the bump had been there about five weeks, but she was scared to mention it.

When the news spread and she began a 54-week chemo-oriented treatment plan Jan. 4, 2015, she didn’t want people to feel bad for her.

Saddening texts from friends and family were not allowed. It made her feel like she wouldn’t recover, Kent said.

“I don’t like it when people say, ‘I’m sorry,’ ” Kent recalled her saying after her first treatment. “I’m here to get better, and when they say ‘I’m sorry,’ it makes me feel bad.”

The family motto became “win every day,” and that was the last time Megan gave in to fear.

‘Team Megan’ is born

The Buggs returned from their first day at Lurie Children’s Memorial at Central DuPage Hospital to elec-

Her classmates, teammates and Coal City and Grundy County residents showed their support with T-shirts, signs and more.

Meanwhile, Kent started a blog, meganbuggsjourney.wordpress.com, to chronicle the experience.

Megan soon received cards and souvenirs from people in Australia, Finland, France, Germany and Turkey, and words of encouragement on-

line from the University of Missouri track and Indiana University women’s basketball teams.

She keeps in touch with several friends she has formed bonds with online who are dealing with similar cancer experiences. The “Team Megan Bugg” Facebook page has more than 10,000 likes.

“I never thought I’d have this much support,” Megan said. “It was overwhelming how much mail I received.

It was a highlight on a bad day.”

Kent said “Team Megan” always seemed to come through right when she needed it.

She looked forward to the mail each day. Kent and his wife, Debbie, are not from Coal City originally – but they would never leave.

“We didn’t grow up here, but this is definitely our home,” Kent said.

“We couldn’t imagine being in a better place.”

‘Storm Education Night’ set for Wednesday

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – It’s been nearly eight months since an EF3 tornado struck the Coal City/Braidwood area and left hundreds of homes damaged and families displaced.

Although the community is fortunate no one died, the memories of June 22, 2015, still loom over the heads of residents. United Way of Grundy County Executive Director Karen Nall said social workers at schools in the area have noticed an increase in visits from students this year, as well as slight drops in grades.

“School social workers are noticing more visits from students when skies get dark,” Nall said. “The students are thinking as if the dark sky means a tor-

nado is going to hit.”

To help families – especially children of all ages – gain a greater understanding of severe weather and storms, the 6/22 Long Term Recovery Committee of Grundy and Will Counties has scheduled a “Storm Education Night” for 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Coal City High School Auditorium.

Danny Neal and Adam Lucio, owners of Illinois Storm Chasers LLC., will be the featured speakers.

Nall said Neal will identify with what the children are going through.

“When I asked him to do it, he jumped on board right away,” Nall said. “When he was kid, he was very scared of storms.”

Social workers are still doing a great job at schools, Nall said, it’s just that issues may arise when students aren’t in school.

“We thought, what happens on a Saturday night when storms roll in?”

Nall said.

The attendees will learn about storm signs and what do before, during and after one. She noted that when a tornado struck Diamond/Coal City in November 2013, many thought it wouldn’t happen again in the area – but it did.

The program will emphasize what’s

going on internally for many people affected by the tornadoes. Nall said many residents still are displaced, with some living in hotels as a result of the June 2015 storm.

The LTRC remains committed to helping with recovery until a sense of normalcy is returned to the lives of people affected by tornadoes, Nall said.

The LTRC wanted to host an event before storm season starts.

The auditorium has a capacity of about 800. Nall said people from Grundy, Will and Kankakee counties are expected.

Resource and information booths from the LTRC, Grundy Emergency Management Agency, American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, Coal City Community School District 1 and Illinois Storm Chasers will be on display.

“The Lincoln Assassination” at 6:30 p.m. Monday. He will engage you in the events leading up to, during and after the gripping moment.

Morris Redskin Speech wins IHSA Sectionals

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Despite what one Morris Redskin Speech Team member describes as 2 minutes of panic, followed by 6 minutes of panic, followed by more panic, the team made a name for itself last week as it captured the IHSA Sectional Championship – a first in the speech team’s history.

“I’m given 2 minutes to come up with a 6-minute speech,” junior Eli Jameson said about his win in Impromptu Speaking. “The whole weekend was just panic.”

That sectional win at Pekin High School means some MCHS students are headed to the state competition this weekend. Speech team coach and adviser Andrea Gustafson said the team took more firsts this year than it has since she became the coach.

With more than 60 students on the team, Gustafson is thrilled to have eight students in eight categories heading to state (in both single and duet categories), with some competing in more than one category. Another 21 students will compete in the Performance in the Round category.

The categories team members will be presenting range from humorous duet acting to original comedy, from radio speaking to poetry.

Emily Trader, who performed poetry, took several poems with a common theme and was able to create a moving piece about being proud to be “bigger,” which includes a poem discussing how even Ursula from “Little Mermaid” was shrunk down by society when a doll was created.

Alexa Rain and Grace Tibbott took on dramatic duet acting by reciting a piece about two sisters after the Holocaust, one who had escaped with her father, the other who went to a concentration camp with her mother.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Grace Tibbott and Alexa Rain practice Monday their dramatic duet acting performance that landed them a spot at state for their senior year on the Morris Redskin Speech Team.

“The most important thing is to portray the character in the moment,” Tibbott said. “You want it to be real.”

Rain said the two finally got the speech to that point Saturday while competing at Pekin High School.

The team is set to travel to Peoria Friday and Saturday, where students will compete against other Illinois high schools in the state finals. Unlike sports, there aren’t separate divisions based on the size of the school, but

Going to state Morris Redskin Speech Team members competing in individual or duet speaking at state this weekend are: • Janelle Gaska • Eli Jameson team members said they are confident they are bringing their best.

• Mikaela Marino • Dylan Obrochta • Alexa Rain • Grace Tibbott • Emily Trader • McKayla Zorn “We are actually a force to be reckoned with,” Janelle Gaska said.

We Care receives $50K grant from Morris through TIF 1

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – We Care of Grundy County on Tuesday received a $50,000 tax increment finance grant from the City of Morris after council members voted 6-0, with Aldermen Julian Houston and Randy Larson absent, to approve it.

The funds have to be used for TIF eligible capital improvements to We Care’s news facility at 530 Bedford Road, Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said.

“We have provided TIF grants for other not-for-profit projects in the TIF districts,” Kopczick said before the

meeting. “It’s important to help, especially those who do a lot of good for the community.”

A TIF district is an area in which assessed property values are frozen at their current level. The difference in tax revenue generated between the frozen tax value and present-day value goes into a special TIF fund to be used for improvements to properties within the district.

We Care Executive Director Eric Fisher said the money will be used on the building for repairs and additions to the currently used space of the 18,000 square-foot building.

“We want the money that comes in

from donations to go to the programming, not the building,” Fisher said.

“This grant will help us as we continue to expand our programs.”

Fisher said the programs are evolving due to the extra space the new building provides.

He said the facility is able to provide a space for Salvation Army disaster training, and it was able to store supplies during the Coal City tornado, a feat not possible in the organization’s previous office, which was just 3,500 square feet.

Alderman Bill Martin said during the meeting that the money for the grant to We Care was included in this

year’s budget.

The council also approved, in a 6-0 vote, the annual release of surplus TIF 1 funds from the 2014 tax year payable in 2015, to the Grundy County treasurer to be disbursed to taxing districts in the amount of $403,685.38; as well as a disbursement of 40 percent, or $1.6 million, to be distributed among Saratoga School District 60C, Morris Elementary District 54 and Morris Community High School District 101, per the intergovernmental agreement in place.

Morris Marina TIF District surplus was also approved to be released for tax year 2014 payable in 2015 in the amount of $491.25.

Firefighters respond to blaze on Broadway Street

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Richard Dean returned Tuesday to his Coal City apartment after running errands to the post office and grocery store to find flames atop the building and the front door already open.

“I dropped my 12-pack of Mountain Dew, ran in and got my dog,” Dean said. “When I touched my apartment door, it was already hot. I opened it and my dog ran out. I had to get her.”

Coal City Fire Protection District firefighters were dispatched about 11:09 a.m. Tuesday to 35 S. Broadway St. for a report of a fire, Lt. Nick Doerfler said. More than 10 agencies wound up responding to assist, and first responders were anticipated to be at the scene until 6 p.m. Tuesday.

LaSalle Station using virtual reality technology during refuel outage SHAW MEDIA MARSEILLES – Nuclear workers at LaSalle County Generating Station are using cameras to help them visualize the job at hand as they refuel Unit 1 at the plant in Marseilles.

A virtual reality camera is being used for the first time during the station’s refueling outage, which started Monday, according to a news release from the plant.

Previously, supervisors used diagrams, photos and drawings to prepare their teams for work being done inside the plant.

Use of the technology allows workers to get a 360-degree view of plant components and systems, which help them visualize and understand the scope of the project before starting work in a designated work area.

More than 1,400 supplemental workers are helping support the 800 employees during the outage.

The station spent more than $52 million with local vendors and payroll for its supplemental workers during the Unit 2 outage in 2015, according to the news release.

During the refueling outage workers will perform approximately 14,000 maintenance and refurbishment activities that cannot be performed while the unit is operating.

The work tasks are designed to enhance the unit’s ability to provide reliable, carbon-free electricity for years to come.

LaSalle has two reactors, each of which is refueled once every 24 months.

Approximately one-third of the unit’s fuel will be replaced. LaSalle Unit 2 will continue to generate electricity during the Unit 1 outage.

At full power, the facility’s two generating units produce more than 2,300 megawatts of carbon-free electricity, enough to power more than 2 million typical American homes.

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Immaculate Conception School this weekend presents the seventh annual “Night at the Races” where attendees can bet funny money on horses with names such as “Fast Delivery” and “Mayhem.”

Shawn Hornsby, emcee for the fundraiser, said it’s hard to imagine what the fundraiser looks like with hundreds of people screaming at a largescreen projector, hoping that the horse they bet on wins the race.

“It really is a great time – we even offer a guarantee,” Hornsby said. “If it isn’t the most fun you’ve had at a fundraiser, you can get your money back.

No one has asked for a refund yet.”

The fundraiser starts with a homecooked meal, which this year will be pulled pork straight from the smoker, before the races begin.

There are 10 races, with 10 horses in each race, which have been prerecorded.

Hornsby said the horses are all sponsored and named by the local business that sponsored them.

“They really chose some neat names for the horses,” Hornsby said. “It’s a great time.”

Those attending get to decide which horse sounds like a winner and bet funny money on it. Whether it be the Narvick Lumber sponsored “Lumbering Along” or Dr. Douglas Toussaint’s

MORRIS – Nearly 100 girls, from those in pre-kindergarten to junior high, participated Saturday in the 25th annual Morris Community High School Pom clinic.

The MCHS varsity Pom team instructed participants on dance and gymnastic moves, proper techniques and putting it all together to music.

At the end of the two-hour clinic, each group got a chance to strut its stuff and show what it had learned.

Pom team instructors shouted out the moves over the sound of the music.

“Step together, step together ... hips, hips. Throw sprinkles. Heel, toe, heel, toe ... blow kisses,” they called out to the pre-K group.

Little ones dutifully tried their best to mimic the moves, spinning in circles, arms straight up in unison and jutting hips from side to side.

After the session ended, all the instructors had stories to share about their group, particularly the younger ones. Out of breath from a two-hour workout, they laughed and tossed around words such as “fun,” “exciting” and “awesome.”

“It was hard sometimes to keep [the

instructor Kenzie Eber. “A girl asked me if I was 10 years old. Another asked if I was 9.”

Between working on routines, the children participated in group games to keep up motivation, stretching sessions and calisthenics to increase energy.

Each age group performed its routine twice for the others when the lessons were done. Then the MCHS varsity Pom team performed the jazz routine that won second place at state in the 1A division.

“This will be the last time they will be performing this routine,” said Pom coach Becky Bernardi. “In a world where tenths matter, they missed [first place] by just 0.3.”

The younger girls oohed, ahhed and applauded as the Pom team gave it their all for the final time. The flips, perfectly synchronized spins and exhilarating dance moves were everything the younger ones had come to learn.

Putting the dance together was the best part for one third-grade participant, Ava Brewer. It was the third time she has attended the clinic, and she has aspirations of some day being on the Pom team.

teno and Manhattan, about doing a prom dress sale to honor Michalowski.

“They said, ‘Let’s do it’,” Becker said. “They were completely on board.

So it is kind of ironic that a hardware store run by guys would do this.”

Becker said many students, including those employed at the store, struggle with prom expenses.

The sale sold 120 dresses in the first year. Now, heading into its sixth year, the sale has dressed more than 1,250 girls for prom.

As the event grows larger, Godley Park District was kind enough to provide a home for this year’s sale.

In 2015, organizers provided a $1,000 scholarship to high school student Jessica Boyd.

The goal is to increase the scholarship every year. Applications for the scholarship will be available at

the sale.

The sale has been attended by girls from Indiana and Wisconsin, as well as a girl who was able to take a break from cancer treatments at Northwestern Memorial Hospital to pick out a dress, Becker said.

“Now she comes back every year to help us with the sale,” Becker said.

But in order to have a great sale, Melissa’s Closet and Crystal’s Jewelry Box need donations both of new and gently-worn long and short formal gowns from 2012 to now, as well as jewelry, purses and shoes. Donations can be dropped off at all Whitmore Ace Hardware locations and several other participating businesses.

Paul Mitchell The School in Bradley will do free hair and makeup at the sale March 5.

Dresses and jewelry can be dropped off at the following locations: n Whitmore Ace Hardware, 237 N. Front St., Braidwood n Whitmore Ace Hardware, 1105 S.

Caregiving requires a delicate balance between helping and doing too much. Sometimes children or caregivers take over many of the chores that seniors are still able to perform by themselves. When seniors are allowed to continue to do tasks that they can accomplish without error or injury, they maintain greater self-esteem. The seniors feel less dependent and more useful. Although dressing, bathing, and walking may still require a caregiver’s assistance, letter writing and computer use may not. Family members and professional caregivers can encourage seniors to continue doing the things that they enjoy and are able to do well.

GODLEY – It’s ironic that a hardware store would sponsor a prom dress sale.

But Laurie Becker of Whitmore Ace Hardware in Wilmington said the store is doing just that.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 5 at Godley Park District, Melissa’s Closet and Crystal’s Jewelry Box will hold its annual prom dress sale, where gently-used prom dresses can be had for $5 each.

The prom dress sale was created in memory of Melissa Michalowski and Crystal Carr, who died following a 2008 car crash. Becker said Michalowski – an employee at the store – was a happy, bright kid who came to work every day happy to be there.

Store staff missed her and thought of ways to keep her name alive. Becker said they approached the owners

Farm bureau hosts nutrient loss class

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – With snow falling over the weekend, gardens and what will be planted in them are far from most people’s minds. But not for farmers.

Area farmers came together Monday morning at the Grundy County Farm Bureau to learn more about how to keep the vital nutrients in the soil – and out of the streams and rivers that flow through the countryside – to help their plants and crops.

“Local farmers want to be good stewards of the land,” Sara Mitchell, Grundy County Farm Bureau board member, said after the event. “We show up to these events to learn how to make better decisions for our land.”

Lauren Lurkins, director of Natural and Environmental Resources with the Illinois Farm Bureau, gave a PowerPoint presentation discussing the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy, which is used to guide the state’s efforts to improve water quality both in Illinois and downstream by reducing nitrogen and phosphorus levels in bodies of water. Nitrogen and phosphorus are used to fertilize crops.

“The Illinois [Environmental Protection Agency] wants to see a 45 percent

reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus levels that make it to the Gulf of Mexico,” she said.

The strategy looks at the best management practices for reducing nutrient loads from not only agriculture, but also wastewater treatment plans and urban runoff. The strategy was developed by a policy working group led by the Illinois Water Resource Center-Illinois Indiana Sea Grant, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Department of Agriculture, according to the Illinois EPA website.

Excess nitrogen and phosphorus is carried in runoff from streets and farm fields, as well as out of wastewater treatment plants. It can fuel algae blooms that decrease oxygen needed by plants and animals in the water. According to the IEPA, “in the Gulf of Mexico, nutrients washed down by the Mississippi River have created a “dead zone” that stretches for thousands of square miles.”

Lurkins said scientists have said overuse of nitrates is not the cause of the nutrient numbers in the Gulf, but there are several steps farmers can take to keep the nutrients in their farm fields where they are needed to increase yields.

Farmers present at Monday’s event also heard from Doug Bentson, a certified crop specialist with FS Grainco, as

Grundy will save $380,000 Generator at Grundy admin building repaired more from bond refinancing

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The backup generator that was installed at the Grundy County administration building last May failed its weekly test and a new starter needed to be installed.

Maintenance Director Tony Arnold told the facilities committee last week that the starter went out in January and had to be replaced.

The generator still is under warranty, so there was no cost to the county.

“It’s mechanical, just like a car; you can buy a new car and it can break down or have mechanical issues,” Arnold said Tuesday.

Arnold said when the company repairmen came to replace the starter, they found that a modification needed to be made to where the solenoid was mounted.

Where it was originally mounted caused too much vibration when the generator was running, which caused the issues.

The generator powers county in-

frastructure in the event of an outage. Without a backup generator for power, $400,000 worth of health department vaccines, the county’s IT servers, the county morgue and the Grundy County Emergency Operation Center are at risk.

On Monday, while the administration building was closed for the holiday, carpet was replaced in the health department hallways and other areas of the administration building.

“The carpet in the health department hallways is the original carpet from when the building was built in 1992,” Arnold said. “There was an issue with staff and public tripping, so for safety reasons it needed to be replaced.”

Officials also started replacing the carpet in other key areas and should be finished with carpet installation

by Feb. 26.

Arnold said the county is replacing the carpet with 2-feet by 2-feet carpet squares, which will allow it to replace any damaged areas with less expense.

The 2-feet tiles can be replaced individually if needed.

County has saved nearly $2 million in 2 years

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County will save more than $380,000 in interest because of 2010 bond refinancing, which brings the county savings to nearly $2 million from bond refinancing during the past two years.

In December, the Grundy County Finance Committee sent a positive recommendation to the Grundy County Public Building Commission to refinance the county’s 2010 bonds, which were used to construct the county’s 911 center, as well as other county purchases.

“Beginning a year ago, the county started taking steps to eliminate nearly $2 million in interest costs by refinancing their bonds,” said John Vezzetti, vice president of Bernardi Securities Inc. Vezzetti said because of several factors – including a favorable AA credit rating the county has and the decline in interest rates – the tax-

payers will realize nearly $2 million in savings during the next 12 years.

Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor said when the process was started, the county expected to see $150,000 in savings on the 2010 bond refinancing, which would add to the $1.4 million in savings from the 2008 bond refinancing the county had last year.

“We have a lower rate environment, and we kept our AA rating and the savings were greater than anticipated,” Pryor said.

Pryor said the 2010 series of bonds were under the economic stimulus plan.

A percentage of the interest was to be reimbursed back to the county from the federal government.

However, because of sequestration, the federal government has not reimbursed at 100 percent.

The rebate was being paid at 41.92 percent last year because of sequestration, and this year’s rebate is questionable.

Golf barhopping to raise money for park Proceeds to benefit Arroyo Trails park on river

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – A new park project, if completed, would unite residents of Grundy and Will counties and beyond in 78 acres of woodlands along the DuPage River in Channahon.

The planning for the estimated $1.7 million Arroyo Trails project has reflected the unique character of the site, which features a small stream that runs through a ravine into the DuPage River.

The board of the Channahon parks foundation believes the location can reintroduce children, adults and families to nature and the environment through play and year-round educational programs that would be offered at the site.

The People for Channahon Parks Foundation is holding a fundraiser Feb. 27 for the planned park.

“Putts & Suds Fore Parks,” presented by Hollywood Casino of Joliet, will bring people together in the cold of winter for nine rounds of putt-putt golf at area bars to raise money for the project.

Participants are invited to enjoy some beer responsibly along the way, hence the title of the event.

“We wanted to do something different and bring a break from the cabin fever some people might be experiencing in late February,” said Tami Sender, director of development for People for Channahon Parks Foundation.

You might wonder how participants would barhop all over Joliet, Channahon and Minooka and not get in trouble. The foundation has taken care of that.

All participants are required ride a bus from bar to bar; transportation is included in the price of admission, which is $200 for a foursome.

The price includes T-shirts, golf balls, transportation, pre- and postevent parties and buffet-style food.

If you go n WHAT: Putts & Suds Fore Parks n WHEN: 9 a.m. to evening hours, Feb. 27 n WHERE: Meet at Hollywood Casino of

Joliet, 777 Hollywood Blvd., Joliet n COST: $200 a foursome. Funds raised for Arroyo Trails park project.

“We wanted to do something different and bring a break from the cabin fever some people might be experiencing in late February.”

Tami Sender

People for Channahon Parks Foundation director of development

Early check-in is available at Hollywood Casino from 5 to 8 p.m. Feb. 26, while regular check-in starts at 9 a.m.

Saturday.

The first hole is played at the casino, then golfers board the bus at 10 a.m.

Until 4 p.m., golfers will be bused to three other Joliet bars, as well as three in Channahon and two in Minooka.

Teams will return to Hollywood Casino by 4:30 p.m. with a completed scorecard.

Post-event celebrations include a raffle of a weekend overnight stay with dinner at the casino’s hotel and a second raffle of 24 bottles of premium liquor that will carry the fun into the evening hours.

Sender said early registration is encouraged as space is limited. The event is still open to sponsorships.

Minooka craft fair aims to be big If you go

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – As the Minooka Community High School Band & Guard Boosters Craft Fair & Raffle approaches its 25th edition, the club believes it may have put together its biggest show yet.

Chris Kraft, co-chairwoman of the MCHS band and guard boosters, said organizers have gathered 134 crafters for the annual fair – about 25 more than last year’s fair, when 870 shoppers attended to choose from a variety of items.

“We really try to limit the big brand names,” Kraft said.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, vendors will sell items such as yard ceramics, handmade tools, lotions, soaps, wreaths, furniture and more. Although Kraft is in her first year leading the sale with one of her children in the band, she quickly learned planning the fair requires great organization.

Kraft said she and her co-chair have been recruiting vendors since August to set up at the fair. They traveled to many craft fairs and approached various vendors about coming to the MCHS fair.

Some vendors are regulars year-to-year, while others found the fair through Internet searches and signed up.

The boosters are hopeful all the hard work will amount to a great fair where

n WHAT: Minooka Community High School 25th Annual Craft Fair & Raffle n WHEN: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday n WHERE: Minooka Community High School Central Campus, 301 S. Wabena Ave., Minooka shoppers have plenty to choose from.

“You really have to push it and believe in it,” Kraft said.

The first 200 shoppers will receive a commemorative reusable shopping bag in honor of the 25th annual fair. Shoppers won’t have to worry about food options, as several local vendors will be on-hand, in addition to vendors who have traveled from Indiana and Wisconsin. The 200-plus students who are in the band or guard will help set up the night before and the morning of the fair they will be waiting at 6:30 a.m., ready to help folks unload their goods, Kraft said.

Proceeds from the fair will go toward expenses of the two programs. The primary expense is a trip to Eastern Illinois University in July, where students learn how to do their fall show, Kraft said.

“It will help defer the costs of our band camp,” Kraft said.

Various raffles will also highlight the fair.

Q: Are there any advantages of children wearing contact lenses rather than glasses?

A: To begin with, a child has to be old enough to properly

Jeffrey J. Blanco, O.D.

care for contact lenses. Issues of hygiene are very important to prevent eye infections.When the child is responsible enough to care for contact lenses there are several advantages. Oftentimes they feel they see better with contact lenses.Without a frame in the way, side vision is better.

More than anything else, most people feel their personal appearance is improved without glasses.

According to a study published in the journal of Optometry and Science, children who wear contacts “have a higher opinion of their looks”. For the study, researchers from Ohio State’s College of Optometry followed 480 nearsighted children between the ages of 8 & 11 that were given disposable soft contact lenses.

The study authors found the majority of children who gave up glasses for contact lenses thought they looked better and were convinced their friends felt the same way. In addition, the children believed that wearing contact lenses made them better athletes and students.

Q: I fell on the ice –

I hear the housing market is getting better.

Is it good now?

Dr. Paul Bishop, DPM* & Dr. Tom Rappette, DPM*

A: Now that freezing temperatures are here, injuries from ice-related falls are inevitable. Are they serious enough to see a doctor? Always check with your doctor as soon as possible. Due to its slippery nature, ice actually speeds up a fall, and even a minor fracture or sprain can worsen the injury and lead to chronic pain. That speed, combined with the fact that the foot can go in any direction while slipping, can cause more severe trauma than a fall on a surface without ice.

During the holidays we often rush to family or business gatherings and make the mistake of thinking that because we are able to walk away, we don’t need medical attention. Putting weight on the injury will almost always make things worse. In the event that the unavoidable happens, remember us here at the Foot & Ankle Centers where Dr. Bishop* and Dr. Rappette* are board-certified and available for all of your foot and ankle needs.

I probably hear this question at least once a day while I am out and about: at lunch, pumping gas, at a community function, or wherever. The answer is that the local housing market is substantially better than a few years ago. In the past 12 months there were 207 homes sold in Morris compared to only 145 sold in 2011. That is a 43% increase in number of Morris homes! Over the same time period the number of Grundy County homes sold went from 360 to 516, representing a 43% increase in the number of Grundy County homes sold in the last 12 months vs. 2011. It is also important to note that the median home price in Morris has increased 6% in just the past year and has risen 2.4% in Grundy County. The housing market is healthy again, which is great news for home owners.

is it serious?

Channahon board bans outdoor donation drop boxes

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – As of June, most outdoor donation drop boxes will no longer be allowed in Channahon.

Village trustees unanimously approved a new law Monday that calls for a ban on the collection containers that some say have become dumping zones for garbage.

Many of the boxes are in poor condition, village staff told trustees, with no screening and placement that impedes traffic flow or produces other safety

concerns.

“This will ban unattended outdoor donation boxes,” Director of Community Development Mike Petrick said.

“They will have until June 1 to remove them.”

Examples include boxes to collect books, clothing, shoes, furniture and other household items, Petrick wrote in a memo, in which he also stated many of the boxes serve for-profit entities.

The ordinance excludes paper recycling containers, which may remain but will require village permits. There

will be no charge for the permits.

“We feel it is in the best interest of the village to allow those [paper recycling] donation boxes to stay in place,” he said.

Trustees Monday also heard more about proposed senior housing development St. Elizabeth Residences.

A special-use permit for the development, along with an ordinance modifying zoning regulations and other legal matters, will come before the board for a vote in March.

The 48 units of affordable, independent living for seniors are planned for

the village’s Town Center, just west of Village Hall.

The units are for seniors age 62 and older. No younger children or spouses will be allowed. There will, however, be special consideration for younger caregivers under a physician’s instruction.

Roadwork for the project will be done by the developer and include construction of St. Elizabeth Drive from the dead-end roads at the roundabout to the north.

The Catholic Charities project is expected to break ground this summer.

• FIRE

Continued from page 8 The building where the fire occurred houses a hair salon, pool supply store and some vacant spaces on the ground floor, with apartments on the second floor, Doerfler said. It was occupied when the blaze began on the second floor near the front of the structure.

Doerfler said there were three people treated on scene for minor injuries. Though it’s suspected the flames did not reach the first floor, Doerfler said, smoke and water left the entire building with excessive damage.

Fighting the fire consumed most of Coal City’s water supply, Doerfler said, so agencies tapped into Braidwood’s supply through a well. The well water did not enter Coal City’s regular water supply.

“Anytime there’s a large fire like this, we don’t want to completely deplete the water supply,” Doerfler said.

“So we tap into other resources.”

Dean, who lived in Apartment 2 of the six-apartment building, said the

Richard Dean Coal City resident

bors believe the explosion came from a furnace.

Dean estimates he lost about $10,000 worth of tools. He said he didn’t have renter’s insurance.

“You don’t expect something like this to happen,” Dean said.

Lil Bit, Dean’s 8-year-old pit bull, was at a friend’s house as of 2 p.m. while Dean tried to figure out where to stay for the night. Apartment 1’s residents also escaped with their pit bull.

McDonald’s, which is across the street from the fire, handed out lunch to firefighters about 2:15 p.m. Jeff and Naomi Howard, of Morris, were two of many to watch the blaze from a safe distance.

“Everybody got out, thank God for that,” Naomi Howard said.

The response to the fire led to portions of Broadway and Division streets being closed for much of the Mike Mallory – mmallory@shawmedia.com day.

BUSINESS

Grundy preparing the future workforce One of the first signs of a robust local economy is when employers begin to struggle filling jobs.

This challenge is real as Grundy County’s unemployment rate is at its lowest level in seven years.

As a consequence, existing and potential employers are focusing on workforce and training. Grundy County’s education and business leaders thankfully never stopped preparing for tomorrow’s workforce.

The public-private partnership of Joliet Junior College, Exelon, LyondellBasell, and Aux Sable successfully launched a new, business-driven curriculum with the Operations Engineering and Technician program.

It is a fantastic two-year degree that provides local students with the skills needed to succeed at some of the highest-quality jobs available in Grundy County.

For those students interested in a four-year engineering degree, the

program is easily transferable to another university.

Thanks to the commitment from local industry, the curriculum includes a required summer internship.

In addition to providing internship opportunities, local companies have given equipment, expertise and even scholarships to help the program succeed.

Grundy County has 18 times the number of energy workers and three times the number of chemical workers than the national average.

Thanks to the Operations Engineering and Technician program, local businesses will have new qualified employees, and local residents will receive the training needed to obtain a quality job.

Thanks to another public-private partnership, the Grundy County Summer Internship Program is on track for a record-breaking 40 internship positions available for local high school juniors and seniors.

Just four years ago, Morris Hospital, Aux Sable and Grainger stepped forward to partner with education leaders to give local students an opportunity to learn about the many career options available in Grundy County while the business community is introduced to many of our local best and brightest students.

To grow from nine positions to 40 in just four years is a testament to the high-quality students and commitment from local business.

The increase in participating companies is also nothing short of amazing.

Starting with just three companies, this summer there will be 18 businesses and organizations sponsoring students.

By all measures, the internship program is a success.

It is making a connection between the future workforce of Grundy County and employers.

Students now understand when they leave for college or additional training that they can come back to Grundy County upon graduation and find challenging and rewarding careers.

The Operations Engineering degree program and the Grundy County Summer Internship Program are very successful, thanks to the cooperation between business and education.

That coordination is unique in Grundy County.

Thanks to strong, committed leadership in our communities people get things done and in this case, everyone benefits.

OTTAWA – OSF Saint Elizabeth Medical Center in Ottawa has received designation as an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital from the Illinois Department of Public Health. In 2009, the Illinois General Assembly passed MB2244, allowing the creation of stroke systems of care in Illinois. The law identifies hospitals capable of providing emergent stroke care and directs EMS to transport possible acute stroke patients to these hospitals.

To receive designation, hospitals must measure their outcomes and times to treatment and are subject to random inspections by the state.

OPINIONS

President Barack Obama seemed to admit almost right from the start of his address to the Illinois General Assembly last week about the need for a more civil politics that he probably wouldn’t sway his audience, which has been bickering for over a year.

Obama talked about his first Illinois Senate speech, after which then-Republican Senate President Pate Philip “sauntered” over to his desk, slapped him on the back and said, “Kid, that was a pretty good speech. In fact, I think you changed a lot of minds. But you didn’t change any votes.”

Frankly, after months without any progress in Springfield, I’d settle for a few changed minds. But I’m not even sure a single mind was changed. Instead, the speech gave people on both entrenched sides just enough ammo to bolster their cases against the other.

Predictably, Obama weighted the argument in favor of his own policy views, bringing up his support for union collective bargaining, which Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has repeatedly attacked But he threw just enough bones at the Republicans to allow them to issue statements such as the one from GOP state Rep. Barb Wheeler: “The president reiterated what the governor and others have said before, without compromise we cannot govern.”

It might come as a shock to Democrats, but the vast majority of Republicans believe that Rauner has tried to compromise and the Democrats are refusing to budge. So the president’s words were music to their ears.

Obama said he believed many Republicans “share” many of his values, adding, “And where I’ve got an opportunity to find some common ground, that doesn’t make me a sellout to my own party.”

At that moment, Rep. Ken Dunkin, D-Chicago, jumped from his seat and yelled “Heck yeah!” Dunkin has portrayed himself as diligently working to move things forward by cooperating with Rauner. But he’s been thrashed by his fellow Democrats for being a “sellout” to the wealthy Republican governor by suddenly flip-flopping on issues and voting against his party’s values, including union rights.

“Well, we’ll talk later, Dunkin, you

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller just sit down,” Obama said to uproarious applause. “One thing I’ve learned is folks don’t change.”

The line was a devastating slash at Dunkin, who Obama dealt with when he was still in the General Assembly.

Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass quickly tweeted: “So #Obama tells #Illinois pols about need for compromise, then rips Rep. Dunkin, D who dared go against Boss Madigan.

That’s #thechicagoway.”

But Kass did Dunkin no favors.

Dunkin is fighting for his political life in a Chicago Democratic primary against a union-backed candidate.

Call me crazy, but I don’t think his majority African-American constituency will be happy that their state legislator was publicly humiliated by the nation’s first black president.

Word is the Democrats warned the White House that Dunkin would attempt to insert himself into the visit, and they were satisfied with the result.

Even so, House Speaker Michael Madigan made a significant mistake last week. Obama has often called former Senate President Emil Jones his political “godfather.” Jones mentored Obama, gave him important assignments and drew a district for him that meandered up Chicago’s wealthy Gold Coast to allow the ambitious young pol to raise campaign cash from the elite. The president gave Jones a couple of shout-outs during his speech and said he misses him.

If Rauner had done a better job of doing his job, he’d be able to build on this anger at Madigan. But making statements about how tax money is being thrown down the “toilet” at the majority black Chicago State University, and cozying up to Dunkin.

“We’re winning,” Rauner told a Downstate audience hours after Obama’s “unity” speech.

No, he’s not. Nobody is.

Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat hits an even dozen Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity officially closed on our 12th home last month.

It was a pleasure to partner with Shanna Enger and her children, Bridget and Bryson, on making their dream of homeownership possible.

Now that we have closed on Shanna’s home, we start the process over again to select the family for our 13th home.

The application process to become a Habitat partner family is not a quick or easy one.

The process to select our next family can take many months and has many parts.

The first step in the process took place at the beginning of February with our Family Selection Informational Meetings.

Potential applicants must attend one of the mandatory meetings to

COMMUNITY PULSE Sarah Peterson receive an application to apply to be a Habitat Partner Family.

We do this so applicants understand what it means to be a Partner Family.

Each Habitat for Humanity affiliate selects their families based on three criteria: the family’s ability to repay the mortgage through an affordable payment plan, the family’s willingness to partner with Habitat, and the family’s level of need.

One of the most common misconceptions about Habitat for Humanity is that we give away the houses we build for free.

Partner families purchase the homes we build through a 0 percent interest mortgage, and Habitat makes no profit on the sale.

We are able to keep the purchase price of the home affordable through donations of materials, labor and monetary gifts. Mortgage payments made by families go toward helping to fund future Habitat homes.

In addition to a mortgage payment, partner families must contribute 400 hours of “sweat equity” before purchasing their home.

They earn sweat-equity hours by working alongside volunteers to build their home and attending classes that teach the principles of homeownership, basic finance and home maintenance.

Selecting our families is never an easy process because there are many

deserving families who dream of owning a home.

Through these basic criteria for selecting our families, we are able to choose a family in need of decent, affordable housing and who will be a good partner for Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity.

For more information about Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity, please visit us at www.grundy3rivershabitat.org.

State treasurer’s office details I-Cash at Chamber luncheon More online

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – The Grundy County Chamber of Commerce hosted its February luncheon last week at the Channahon Municipal Services Building.

A small group of chamber members attended the Feb. 11 presentation of featured speaker Barbara Chalko, who works for the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office.

Chalko touched on several state treasurer programs, but focused on the I-Cash program, which connects people with cash and other assets owed to them.

The program began in 1962 and was computerized in the early 1990s.

The lost cash and assets end up in the state’s possession through several avenues, Chalko said.

Sometimes things are lost because of address changes, family members who have died without a will or estate funds that may have lost track of assets in settlements.

Uncashed checks and bill over-payments are common errors that bring assets into the state’s possession, but not to worry – the state isn’t spending it, Chalko said.

The money owed to residents will be kept until claimed by the rightful

Barbara Chalko, of the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office, spoke Feb. 11 to a small group gathered for the February edition of the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce luncheon series. The event was held at the Channahon Municipal Services Building. owner.

Chalko, who has been with the state treasurer’s office since 2003, said she once spoke to a woman who had $250,000 in unclaimed assets owed to her.

When Chalko called to the woman to inform her, she hung up the phone because she didn’t believe it.

“So, I have to talk to the senator in her district or find someone she trusts to get her to sign a claim,” Chalko

said.

One of the attendees was Minooka Mayor Pat Brennan. A joking theme of the search process was whether or not any money or assets had been left for Minooka.

After the luncheon concluded and most people left, it appeared Minooka has a small amount of unclaimed money in the program.

According to icash.illinois.gov, the state currently has $2.1 billion in cash, plus contents from Illinois bank safe deposit boxes, that needs to be returned to Illinois residents.

Most assets are transferred to the state after they’ve been inactive for at least five years.

Chalko searched Grundy County on the website and found several agencies with money in the system, which tells the user the range of money available rather than a specific amount.

There was money left for the Grundy Chamber, Grundy County Treasurer and Grundy County Corn Festival.

Chalko said one in four people have unclaimed assets owed to them.

‘Medication Take Back’ adds Channahon drop box “We don’t want any accidental poisonings, substance abuse or pollution of our waterways.”

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – The village of Channahon last week became the fourth municipality to welcome a medication drop box as part of Grundy County Coroner John Callahan’s “Medication Take Back” program.

The program is meant to collect excess, unwanted or expired pill medications, which helps keep them out of young people’s hands and protects the environment.

“Once a week, we get someone asking if they can bring unwanted medications to us for disposal,” Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold said. “We used to refer people to the drop box in Minooka, but we are now happy to accept them.”

Callahan said the program has grown so much that he or his staff make two trips a year to Covanta Secure Services Inc. in Indianapolis, where the medication is destroyed in an incinerator.

The program started in 2008, and a drop box was placed in 2012 in the Morris Municipal Services Facility, in 2014 at Minooka Village Hall and in 2015 at the Coal City Police Department.

Club and another from the Channahon-Minooka Rotary Club.

“This is all done with no expense to taxpayers, which is a result of community groups across Grundy County – such as today’s placement of this container with the assistance of Channahon Lions and Rotary clubs,” Callahan said.

The program was started to avoid accidental poisoning, drug abuse and environmental contamination.

• CANCER

Support from within

The cancer fight impacts the entire family, Kent said, and everybody needed support. But surprisingly, their biggest morale-booster was Megan.

“I was amazed how in tune she was with how everyone was feeling,” Kent said. “She took better care of us than we did of her.”

In what Kent called the most worrisome time for him and Debbie, Megan was admitted in March to intensive care for nine days after brutal chemo drugs formed sores on her mouth and shot her temperature up to 104 degrees.

She apologized to her sister, Mackenzie, for missing her 17th birthday.

She also said sorry for spending her father’s birthday in the hospital.

They didn’t want to hear it.

“Chemo is a brutal drug,” Kent said.

“But managing the side effects is just as brutal.”

As Megan began radiation six months into her treatment schedule, the Buggs’ home and community was nearly destroyed the night of June 22, 2015, when an EF3 tornado left hundreds of residents displaced and properties damaged.

Their home on Trotter Drive had extensive damage on the second floor and had to be rebuilt.

“I didn’t know what was going to happen,” Megan said. “My dad just told me to focus on getting better. It didn’t affect me much after a week, because I knew the house would be fixed and we’d move back whenever it got done.”

Megan missed one treatment, but as Kent began working on the home situation, Debbie took Megan to treatments five days a week.

“Treatment doesn’t take a break,” Kent said.

Megan’s doctor said her scans had to show by week 20 of treatment that the cancer was in remission in order for her to have the best chance of beating it. Although she beat all odds by

But regaining normal walking form is nothing compared to what she’s accomplished already. Kent said the key to her success is that she’s maintained a positive attitude every day.

“People were amazed at her smile each day,” Kent said. “It’s Megan’s way of letting people know she had this under control. She had multiple opportunities to give up, and it never crossed her mind.”

Megan found a way to turn an agonizing battle into a positive experience. She is now considering a career in radiology because she thinks her experience will help her coach people through their toughest times.

‘Dance for Your Heart Day’ energizes Morris

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – The Morris YMCA saw more than its normal workout crowd Saturday morning, as it joined with Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers to hold “Dance for Your Heart Day.” Adults and children boogied down in three classes – line dancing, hip-hop and a family fun dance – for exercise and a good time.

Friends Lana Phillips and Lou Kellogg, both of Morris, did the hour of line dancing, led by local instructor Doug Pfaff.

“It was fun,” Phillips said. “I took the classes from Doug at the high school a long time ago.”

Kellogg said she enjoyed the dance.

She said line dancing is not a mindless exercise.

“No. 1, you’re moving, and No. 2, you’re using your brain,” she said.

Pfaff, who teaches line dancing to adults and at physical education classes in area schools, shared the Electric Slide and the Crossover dances at Saturday’s event.

He said dancing is a good way to keep in shape.

“Some people do it for the exercise,” he said of line dancing. “Plus, the more dances you know, your memory is better.”

Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media

Kids and adults enjoyed the “Family Fun Dance,” which was part of Saturday’s “Dance for Your Heart Day,” hosted by Morris Hospital and held at the Morris YMCA. Morris YMCA Health and Wellness Director Ian Stewart said dancing is not something people normally think of when it comes to exercise, but it provides good health benefits.

“It’s not your typical fitness class,” he said, “but it’s great to switch it up

and get engaged – to try something new. ... It’s not the monotony of doing the same thing over and over again.”

Dancing provides good cardiovascular benefits, he said, increasing the heart rate. Stewart added it’s also good for circulation and boosting memory.

Morris YMCA Executive Director Missy Durkin said she was happy the interest in the program was so good.

“I am thrilled to see the turnout,” she said. “I love working with the hospital on programs that impact the community. And people are having fun.

They’re seeing that moving is fun.”

Morris Hospital hosted the event, and representatives were there offering free blood-pressure screenings, health risk assessments and heart health education.

The hospital also had information on its new program, “Rhythm of our Youth,” which will screen area high school students for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which can cause sudden cardiac death.

Morris resident Brenda Walsh, a Morris Hospital nurse, was there to tell the story of her son, Kaleb Beck, who died of sudden cardiac death in 2011 when he was a teenager. When Walsh got home from work one afternoon, her son was lying on the floor of his bedroom, having suffered the attack earlier in the day.

There were no signs or symptoms that anything was wrong before the attack, Walsh said. The new youth screening program will use 12-lead EKGs to screen students for electrical abnormalities that could lead to the disorder.

ICS students in Morris learn Lent is more than just ashes

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Ash Wednesday service at Immaculate Conception Church isn’t all about the ashes.

It’s about starting over.

“There is nothing holy at all about the ashes,” the Rev. Ed Howe told the students and parishioners during morning Mass on Feb. 10. “Starting over, that is the great message of reconciliation.”

Each year on Ash Wednesday, the church holds Mass for the students of Immaculate Conception School, as well as the public.

Ash Wednesday starts Lent, a season of fasting and prayer that lasts the 40 days before Easter Sunday.

ICS Principal Kim DesLauriers said it’s a great reminder for the children to turn away from sin and look to the Gospel.

“It’s a good start to the beginning of the Lenten season,” he said. “For many, it’s a new beginning.”

He said it’s an opportunity for all believers to learn about praying, fasting and doing.

Hattie Monson, an eighth-grader at ICS, said for her Lent signifies a time of prayer and a chance to know Jesus better.

“It’s a day for the community to spend with him,” she said. “This day is offered up to him.”

Eli Davy, another ICS eighth-grader, said that for him, Ash Wednesday is about renewing faith.

“It means almost a rebirth of our faith,” he said. “We try to change ourselves and make ourselves better. Lent is the start of that.”

As Howe delivered his sermon, he involved the students, asking not only what they would give up for Lent, but also what they would replace what they gave up with.

While many children said they’d give up technology – their iPad, iPod and tablets – Howe was more interested in the replacement. Many said they would spend more time with their family or praying.

Monson, like many of her classmates, is giving up social media. She plans to replace it with prayer and doing a good deed each day.

Davy said he’s put a lot of thought

“I will be drinking only water or milk, no pop or juice, and when I drink the water or milk, I will say a prayer for someone who needs it,” he said.

Howe said choices like those Davy

and Monson made are what he hopes the students make.

“It’s about replacing it,” he said.

“If you receive ashes with no desire to change or make a commitment to God, then they have no meaning.”

WRESTLING

Eric Miller – emiller@shawmedia.com

Coal City’s Danny Norton works for a takedown against Wilmington’s Nick Pretto at 152 pounds at Saturday’s Plano sectional. Norton finished second to earn a trip to Champaign.

Hiles, a junior, heads into the state meet 33-6 at 120.

“I have some tough wrestlers at my weight class,” Hiles said. “But I plan on going down there and winning it.

Coal City featured five state medal winners a year ago.

Freshman Alex Friddle (41-4 at 106), sophomore Danny Norton (30-9 at 152), junior Brock Crawford (35-9 at 220), senior Jonah Englert (45-11 at 160) and junior Bryan Stopka (30-14 at 170) round out the Coalers’ state qualifiers.

Morris’ Cody Baldridge qualified for next weekend’s IHSA individual state meet by finishing second to Washington’s Jacob Warner at 182 in the Class 2A Washington Sectional on Saturday. Warner was ranked first in the state in the weight class entering the tournament by www.illinoismatmen.com, while Baldridge was ranked fourth.

Warner scored a technical fall over Baldridge in the championship match.

Baldridge, who will bring a 34-7 record into the state tournament, received a bye in the first round before beating Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com Pontiac’s Levi Ransom, 3-1, in the Coal City’s Brock Crawford controls his Peotone opponent during the Coalers’ 70-9 win quarterfinals and Galesburg’s Tavion on Feb. 11.

PLANO – Coal City’s Max Rowell had a lot to say about his chances at winning a Class 1A individual state championship after the Plano sectional Saturday.

Teammate Riley Kauzlaric had nothing to say. And Joey Rivera, Jake Hiles, T.J. Jezik and Ryan Wasielewski are among the other Coalers primed to have a say in who is crowned state champion.

The state meet begins Thursday and will crown state champions Saturday evening in the State Farm Center on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana. The Coalers are sending 11 wrestlers to the event.

“It’s an outstanding opportunity for our guys to go down there and get a valuable experience,” Coal City coach Mark Masters said. “The kids were able to accomplish some goals (at the sectional) and we have a few more in front of us. I’m extremely proud of all of them.”

Rowell’s road to the state meet was paved with adversity. A torn labrum in his shoulder ended his junior season prior to competing in the sectional a year ago.

“I won the regional last year, but had to stop wrestling to get surgery,” Rowell said. “After that, I dedicated all my time to this year. This means a lot being my senior year. I’m going to give it everything.”

“He tore his labrum last year and the last month, Max has been a leader in the practice room,” Masters said.

“Max is really focused and has some goals he wants to accomplish after being short-changed last year because of an injury. His mental focus has been spot on.”

Rowell is 26-4 at 145 pounds and unranked, according to the most popular individual wrestling rankings.

“I plan on taking it one match at a time,” said Rowell, a senior. “But, I can tell you this: I plan on being on the top of that podium. This is business from here on out.”

Kauzlaric (44-2), a senior, respectfully declined to comment after walking off the sectional podium as 195-pound sectional champion Saturday in Plano.

Kauzlaric took third at 182 in 2015.

“We talk about letting the kids be who they are,” Masters said. “That hasn’t been my strong point, but it works for them.”

Rivera, the defending 106-pound state champion, is 48-1 at 113 and trying to become the third back-to-back state champ in program history in his

Hyundai Sonata for 2016 a real family ‘keeper’ The Chicago Auto Show is under way, which means you’ll find a lot of platitudes heaped on various vehicles … economical, affordable, high-tech, stylish, roomy, comfortable, versatile, well-equipped, safe.

The 2016 Hyundai Sonata deserves all of those, and one more: likeable.

This is a car you buy, you enjoy, you keep. Every time you get in, you feel at home on the road.

Hyundai has done well in making the 2016 versions – and there are many model choices – better than ever in Sonata’s seventh generation.

One is looks. New “Fluidic Scupture 2.0” design has given Sonata a more refined look that includes a larger grille and wide air intake. The roofline still resembles a coupe, but with a larger window graphic, and the rear lines emphasize Sonata’s width for a more solid, planted look.

Around and underneath the five-passenger, four-door, front-wheeldrive Sonata is a stiffer body structure for better ride quality, as well as reduced noise, vibration and harshness.

Hyundai also crafted some suspension components of aluminum rather than steel to improve handling.

Another is power. The 2016 Sonata continues an all-four-cylinder engine lineup, but with some revisions so fuel economy, power and reliability are improved.

A revised 185-horsepower 2.4-liter Theta II four-cylinder engine powers SE, Limited and Sport models. The improved 2.0-liter Theta II turbocharged four powers Sport 2.0T models, optimized for lower rpms while cranking out a healthy 245 hp.

Both Theta engines are paired with a

six-speed automatic transmission. The Sonata Eco is fitted with a 1.6-liter, 178-hp turbocharged four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. All get combined city/highway mileage of 25 miles per gallon or better.

Sonata Hybrid’s Nu gasoline engine is linked to a six-speed automatic and produces 154 hp, with an electric motor adding 51 hp, for a net power output of 193 hp. The Hybrid averages 40 mpg combined city/highway.

Sonata is responsive to drive and comfortable for five. Hyundai bills it as a mid-size sedan, but headroom and legroom approach the full-size sedan class. In addition, there is a generous 16.3 cubic feet of trunk cargo space.

Standard features include foldaway heated outside mirrors, rear lip spoiler, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback, tilt/telescope steering wheel, steering-wheel-mounted audio/BlueTooth and cruise controls, and 8-way power driver seat with power adjustable lumbar support (except base SE model).

Sonata’s interior adds more content for 2016, including Android Auto and rearview camera system. Standard on all models except Limited is a 7-inch color touchscreen Display Audio system. Limited 2.0T gets an 8-inch touchscreen navigation, which is available as an upgrade on other models, with downloadable apps, HD radio and Infinity premium audio system.

In addition, a conventional sunroof is now available on Sport models and standard on Limited.

Also standard is an AM/FM/SiriusXM/CD/MP3 audio system with 6 speakers, except on Limited 2.0T,

The 2016 Sonata has a more refined, wider look, but improvements are more than sheet-metal deep. A stiffer body structure, reduced noise and vibration, and some aluminum suspension components add up to better ride quality.

New telematics and improved infotainment features make Sonata’s already-spacious interior an even more pleasant venue for family road trips.

which gets an Infinity AM/FM/SiriusXM/CD/MP3 9-speaker premium audio system, subwoofer and external amplifier with 400 watts.

A big plus on all models is the standard Bluetooth hands-free phone system, and smartphone/USB and auxiliary input jacks. The Blue Link Telematics, offered in a choice of three systems, is an innovative telematics solution that brings seamless connectivity for safety, car care, and infotainment capabilities. Sonata Hybrids come standard with iPod/USB and auxiliary input jacks, SiriusXM satellite radio and Bluetooth phone connectivity with phonebook transfer and voice-recognition.

Sonatas are safe, providing stan-

dards like electronic stability control, traction control, seven airbags including a driver’s knee bag, disc brakes with brake-force distribution, brake assist, and tire pressure monitoring for each tire.

Options include lane departure warning, rear parking sensors, blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, lane change assist, and forward collision warning.

GARDNER – In the first half of the game last week, the Gardner-South Wilmington girls basketball team did exactly what it wanted to do.

The Lady Panthers limited the touches for Newark’s 6-foot-3-inch center Jasmine Mitchell and, as a result, Newark took a slim 16-15 lead into halftime.

The Lady Norse, however, made several adjustments at halftime and worked the ball into Mitchell.

The junior, who was held to just three points in the first half, exploded for nine points in the third quarter as Newark (19-8) outscored Gardner-South Wilmington, 17-2, in the first 5:15 of the third quarter en route to a 44-27 semifinal win in the Class 1A Gardner-South Wilmington Regional.

“The third quarter was huge for us,” Newark coach Barb Scott said of the Feb. 10 game. “The first half was kind of slow, but we were able to get some momentum in the third quarter and played how we know we can play.

“We have a lot of weapons other than Jasmine, but when she is going well, it makes everything that much better.”

One of the weapons he’s referring to is guard Megan DeClementi, who finished with a game-high 16 points.

Included in that total were four 3-pointers that helped relieve pressure on Mitchell.

“This is definitely a team,” Scott said. “We aren’t one-dimensional by any means.”

However, in the first half, they were one-dimensional with respect to DeClementi.

3-pointer to put Newark ahead, 16-15.

“We struggled offensively in the second half,” G-SW coach Adam Leigh said. “They switched to a 2-3 zone and we had trouble with it. In the first half.

I thought we did a good job on their big girl [Mitchell]. We had played and beat Herscher earlier this year and they have a girl similar to her.

“Still, this team finished with the best record I have ever had, and we only had one senior starter. It looks real promising for us for next year and beyond. I am very proud of this team and am excited about what’s coming up.”

Newark wasted little time in the third quarter, getting the ball down low to Mitchell for a basket to start the period. Kelsea Zitt (7 points) then hit a scoop shot after driving the lane and DeClementi drained a 3-pointer to put the Lady Norse ahead, 23-15. Mitchell then used an array of post moves, hit a jumper from the free-throw line and made a free throw to score the next seven points for Newark.

DeClementi drained another 3, while the defense held G-SW to just one basket, a putback by Celia Barna. In that time frame, Newark took control with a 33-17 lead.

“When we got Jasmine going in the third quarter, it really opened things up,” Scott said. “Now, we get to move Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com on and see what happens.”

Chrysler buyers see the future in 2016, 2017 models Chrysler debuts its all-new 2017 Pacifica and gas-electric Pacifica Hybrid at the Chicago Auto Show, offering a great lead-in to its already innovative 2016 lineup.

The new models, possibly available at dealerships sometime in spring, are proof that Chrysler intends to use its reputation as an automotive game-changer to stay ahead in the minivan segment it launched in 1984.

Pacifica is expected to draw big crowds – especially since Pacifica Hybrid is the first of its kind -- but Chrysler is linking it with a 2016 lineup that makes it clear the brand intends to be a leader in more than just minivans.

Also on the show floor are the luxurious Town & Country minivan, and the 200 and 300 sedans that are redefining the mid-size and large-car segments.

Town & Country’s 2016 lineup has expanded to six models with the LX and Limited Platinum, all powered by the award-winning 3.6 liter Pentastar V-6 with class-leading 283 horsepower and six-speed automatic transmission.

For 2016, there is also the Anniversary Edition, marking Chrysler’s 90th anniversary. Special included features are a power sunroof, heated first- and second-row seats, heated steering wheel, Keyless Enter ‘n Go, and special badging and trim.

There are more than 55 available safety and comfort features, including the class-exclusive Stow ‘n Go seating with one-touch fold-down function. Every Town & Country model is designed to be a comfortable luxury ride. Navigation systems and power third-row seats are now standard, and available features include a “super center” console and second-row captain’s chairs.

But Chrysler takes buyers beyond the mere minivan people-hauler into the realm of tech-savvy multipurpose travel. Based on the Uconnect technology suite, buyers can turn their Town & Country into a rolling “hotspot” with Internet service, dual-screen Blu-ray DVD entertainment system, navigation system, SiriusXM Radio and SiriusXM Travel Link. Uconnect also offers touchscreen and voice command for control of multiple media sources and outputs, as well as handsfree phone. Buyers can even get the industry-exclusive Blu-ray player with high-definition HDMI input for video gaming.

The same state-of-the-art technology options are offered in the Chrysler 200 and 300 sedans, mid-size and big-car versions of the nameplate’s long-standing tradition as a designer of true luxury cars.

The 200 is the industry’s first midsize sedan with a standard nine-speed automatic transmission, and while primarily a front-wheel drive sedan, the five-passenger 200 is available with an all-wheel drive system. Both the automatic and a fully disconnecting rear axle for the AWD system are designed to boost fuel economy.

Billed as the new “face of Chrysler,” the 2016 model gets a more sculpted look with a stylish grille and headlamps, revised badging and a more defined “wing.”

Like Town & Country, the 200 lineup also offers an Anniversary Edition, adding even more luxury with such features as standard 8.4-in. touchscreen radio with Uconnect Access and SiriusXM Radio, a sunroof, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power four-way driver lumbar adjust, power eight-way driver seat, and

The new 2017 Pacifica will offer buyers great fuel economy with a hybrid version when it becomes available at dealerships later this year.

The 2016 Chrysler 300, 200 and Town & Country, pictured front to back, offers buyers luxury, comfort, safety and the latest technology in a trio of choices that easily handle the commute, the long haul or around town.

anniversary logos and design cues.

Step up to the five-passenger, fourdoor 300, and enter a world of big-car refinement. For 2016, Chrysler made its flagship sedan a little more “expressive, with a bolder front grille, signature LED lighting, unique finishes and new wheel designs. Inside, buyers will find a now-standard 7-inch full-color info display and class-exclusive electronic rotary transmission shifter.

The shifter manages an eight-speed automatic linked to either a rear-drive or AWD system that gives the big sedan even more road-holding capability.

The AWD includes an exclusive active transfer case and front-axle-disconnect for greater fuel economy. Power comes from a 292/300-hp 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6,

but buyers who want more muscle to go with the bolder look can opt for the 363hp 5.7-liter HEMI V-8.

An Anniversary Edition also is available in the 300 lineup.

SYCAMORE – On a senior night in which six of the seven Sycamore seniors scored and the Spartans beat Morris, 55-34, it was Morgan Picolotti, knee brace and all, who stole the show in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Having her season come to an end with a injured ACL and lateral meniscus in the first quarter of the first game of the season, Picolotti started the game on the floor for the Spartans (20-6, 11-2 Northern Illinois Big 12 East).

After Sycamore allowed Morris (7-19, 4-9) to win the tip uncontested and score, the Spartans worked the ball up the court uncontested, getting it to Picolotti, who nailed the shot.

She left the game after scoring her first and only points of her senior season.

“It was unbelievable,” Picolotti said after the game, fighting back tears. “I couldn’t be more thankful for my coach, my teammates, everyone that was here to support me.”

Picolotti was expected to be a sharp-shooting starter after a junior year that showed glimpses as a backup, but the injury derailed those plans. Coach Brett Goff approached her with the idea.

“He told me about two weeks ago, and pulled me aside with my dad and was like, ‘I really want to see you on the court again,’” Picolotti said. “I was speechless. I cried, of course. It’s just one of those things that’s just unbelievable.”

The Spartans built up a 28-6 lead in the second quarter, but Morris scored 13 straight between the second and third quarters, using its press to force turnovers – Sycamore committed eight turnovers in the third quarter and 16 for the game.

“We had some strong moments,” Morris coach Kate Carey said. “I think we came out a little softer than we usually do. I thought the girls made a nice adjustment at halftime turning on the defense we should have been playing the whole game.”

Goff said he was impressed that his team stayed focused through the start of the game, but thought the effort during Morris’ run could have been better.

“I was happy we came out and focused the best we could,” Goff said. “We got a little lackadaisical in parts, but overall I thought we played well. It was a good night.”

ers with 14 points.

“She always does (have a big game) – she’s a great player for us,” Carey said. “She’s never going to give up. She’s going to go hard no matter what. It’s tough, our shooting has been ice cold and this was one of her better shooting games, so that was good for us.”

My turn to search for The Next Big Thing I don’t know about you, but sometimes I am burdened by email anxiety.

That moment right before your new messages pop in where your mind plays tricks on you.

The number and quality of emails is endless.

Maybe it stems back to my television days.

As a producer, you fret about how a particular episode will be received. Most times the inbox is full of heartwarming messages.

But, once in a while, your digital messages pile up with the dreaded hate mail.

Last week my messages were popping in and a slight twinge rifled through my subconscious. Something came in I would find interesting. I knew it.

Sure enough, a message from one of the largest lure manufacturers in the nation fell into my inbox.

I opened it and almost collapsed.

They asked me to help them develop new product ideas for the upcoming year.

A smile covered my face and pride welled up inside me.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers Every angler across the world has moments on the water when flashes of inspiration hit.

What tweaks might a lure need to make it more effective? As an industry, new products are the lifeblood that keeps it going.

Old products are often forgotten, even if they are fish-catching machines.

The email came at a great time because I have an idea I think might fit their product lineup. Will it come to fruition?

The odds are against it. Proposals for lure ideas will be spread across conference room tables, hashed out, discussed, dismissed, and maybe produced.

No matter what happens, I am thankful for the opportunity.

You might wonder how you come up with new product ideas?

To be honest, if you flip through any fishing catalog or browse the

local tackle store, you discover that there are few innovations each year.

The majority of what hits store shelves are variations of existing products.

The most popular, and bottom-line conscious, thing to do is add more color combinations.

Best-selling lures will have color swatches that fill entire pages of a catalog.

The manufacturers are attempting to coax more dollars away from loyal customers by promoting the idea an angler needs those new colors to be successful. It is a brilliant marketing strategy that has worked in the industry forever.

Every few years, we might see a unique product hit the market. But just because it is unique and works, does not mean it will sell. End-consumers are an interesting sort.

Preconceived notions of what should and should not catch fish captures their psyche. If a new product falls within their mental parameters of what is appropriate, they will try it. If the strange contraption under the plastic lid falls outside of what they deem as normal, odds

are it will gather dust and hit the discount bin come July.

You may have heard the phrase, “There are no new ideas.”

There is truth to that. I like to think about lure design as taking something and making it better. A different material may produce a more durable lure.

A slight tweak in the body design and the action could attract more fish.

An upgrade in colors and packaging will catch the wallet of the angler.

There are lots of factors to be considered.

I look forward to the challenge.

The idea I am sending in catches fish. I know because I use it all the time.

Will it convince the product development team around the round table?

Will it catch the eye of the consumer?

We will have to wait and see, but my fingers remain crossed.

Christy and Bonnie (Anna Faris, Allison Janney) become determined to make the occasion run as smoothly as possible. Jaime Pressly and Beth Hall also star, and Emily Osment continues her recurring role.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Elementary Anyone who’s ever dismissed a warning to be careful what he or she eats would do well to heed the lessons of “A Study in Charlotte,” a new episode in which mushrooms become murder weapons. Poisonous ones are used to eliminate a professor and some of his students, putting Holmes and Watson (Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu) on the case. On the homefront, Watson is troubled by the noise generated from a neighbor (guest star Richard Kind) renting out his house.

9 p.m. on _ WLS How to Get Away With Murder The focus is on Annalise’s (Viola Davis) home life, which isn’t particularly happy, in the new episode “She Hates Us.” The domestic tension threatens to spill over to her dealings with her students, each of whom is trying to get back to normal ... or his or her own definition of “normal,” at least.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Given that Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are involved in this show, it’s somewhat amusing that a prison break — the theme, as well as the title, of their previous show together — fuels the new episode “Fail-Safe.” Miller’s Snart heads the attempt, resulting from the capture and imprisonment of some of the Legends in Russia during the Cold War. Sara (Caity Lotz) gets a related assignment that could end up thwarting the escape.

7 p.m. on ) WGN The Vampire Diaries The sudden presence of a vampire hunter (guest star Leslie-Anne Huff) makes Damon (Ian Somerhalder) regret his participation in finding her in the new episode “This Woman’s Work.” It isn’t entirely by his choice, since Enzo (Michael Malarkey) uses information on him to blackmail him into joining the quest. Stefan and Valerie (Paul Wesley, guest star Elizabeth Blackmore) try to help Caroline (Candice King), whose pregnancy runs into major problems.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Sleepy Hollow Just when the Kindred (guest star Derek Mears) seemed to be vanquished, he becomes a problem all over again — threatening the efforts of Ichabod, Abbie and Jenny (Tom Mison, Nicole Beharie, Lyndie Greenwood) to return to somewhat normal lives — in the new episode “Kindred Spirits.” Ichabod has additional concerns, since his romantic ties to Zoe (guest star Maya Kazan) appear to be yielding troubles as well. Nikki Reed also stars.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 Melanie Griffith reprises her guest role as Danny’s (Scott Caan) mother, who draws the interest of the FBI, in the new episode “Ke Koa Lokomaika’i” (Hawaiian for “The Good Soldier”).

8 p.m. on % WMAQ Grimm One phone call can change everything, as the new episode “Map of the Seven Knights” reaffirms. A message from Germany puts Nick (David Giuntoli) on the trail of his ancestors, but others with less pure motives take up a similar pursuit. Eve and Trubel (Bitsie Tulloch, guest star Jacqueline Toboni) have a showdown over Nick and Adalind (Claire Coffee). Silas Weir Mitchell, Bree Turner and Russell Hornsby also star.

55 Peasant dishes use wholesome ingredients

GOOD & HEARTY

B

By the editors of Relish Magazine

efore cornmeal starred in polenta and rice became risotto, cornmeal was fried up as cornmeal mush and rice was eaten in beans and rice. These were peasant dishes at their best – based on local, inexpensive ingredients available to all. These foods weren’t gussied up with fancy sauces or garnishes; instead they were meals that conserved (and recycled) and made do with little. Peasant dishes, with their earthy, honest ingredients, now star in hip restaurants across the country, a testament to their lure and durability.

Here’s a dish born out of a lean pantry. It’s perfect for adapting to what you have on hand and improvising at length.

Braised Chicken and Vegetables Serves 4

n 1 tablespoon olive oil n 6 bone-in chicken thighs n 1 potato, peeled and chopped n 1 yellow onion, finely chopped (1 cup) n 2 carrots, chopped n 2 garlic cloves, minced n ¾ cup white wine such as Chardonnay n 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth n 3 sprigs fresh thyme n 1 tomato, chopped n Juice of 1 lemon n ½ teaspoon salt n Freshly ground pepper n Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Sacrificing some of your favorite foods doesn’t have to be part of your new year/new you strategy. In many dishes, it’s the sauces that pack on the calories you’re trying to avoid.

Pasta is notoriously a diet danger zone, but dressing up the noodles with plenty of flavorful ingredients and switching out dense, high-calorie

Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium. Add chicken and cook until brown on both sides, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Add potato, onion and carrots; cook 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet (with any juices). Add garlic, wine, broth, thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Add chopped tomato, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

sauces for tasty substitutes will let you keep enjoying savory pasta dishes while you work toward a healthier lifestyle. Even creamy recipes are possible with the right substitutions.

Use yogurt-based sauces like Sabra’s Farmer’s Ranch Greek Yogurt Dip. Or try swapping traditional pasta sauce for Sabra’s Chipotle Hummus.
