Spending my youth outdoors helped mold me I look out my window at home and I can see a portion of Gebhard Woods State Park. When the windows are open, as they have been in the past week or so, I can hear the sounds of nature. There’s an owl and a woodpecker that have made their homes nearby, and we can hear them both, along with all the other birds that are coming home for the spring.

They are noises that take me back to my childhood, and make me think of simpler times.

I grew up south of the Illinois River, just off Pine Bluff Road in Claypool Subdivision. When spring and summer hit, we were outside. After school, I would do my homework, then ask my mom what time I should be back home for supper. In the summer, we’d pass the time outside, either playing baseball in the back field or someone’s yard, or going exploring along the Mazon River, which flowed beyond the cornfields that were behind the houses in our neighborhood. Until I was approaching my teenage years, the only real hard and fast rule was to let

VIEWS Rob Oesterle someone know if I was going to be going across Pine Bluff. Pretty much anywhere on the north side of Pine Bluff was fair game.

And we made sure we saw every part of it. I have written a lot in the sports section about spending summers playing baseball for Opdyke, which was on the other side of Pine Bluff, but the games and practices were only a few hours out of our day, and we were driven there by our parents. The days we had off or the hours in the day that we weren’t playing ball were much more prevalent, and we spent a lot of that time down by the Mazon River, or as we affectionately called it, “the crick.”

We had our favorite spots. There was the sandbar, where you could wade

LOOKING UP

almost the entire way across without the water going above your knees. And there was the fallen white log that we could lean our fishing poles on and even use as a bench while waiting for a fish to strike.

One thing we didn’t do a lot of at the crick was swim. We had all pulled too many scary things out of that murky water to want to go mingling with them in their own habitat. Big catfish, carp, gar, eels and turtles – just to name a few – lived in there. I, for one, never saw any reason to go dropping in unannounced.

As I look back, I also realize that, although school was not in session, we learned things. We learned how to co-exist with and respect nature. When we found trouble spots along the river bank, we learned how to either avoid them or get around them.

We were partially raised by the crick and its ecosystem, and I am grateful for it.

Mazon veteran honored for 50 years of service to American Legion

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For 50 years Leroy “Tuffy” Gilmoure of Mazon has, in one way or another, served the Mazon American Legion Post 352.

He has held several titles and responsibilities, from cook to commander, and was honored March 10 with a certificate from the state for his time with the American Legion.

“I wanted to join because they do great things. I love it. It’s home,” the 92-year-old said after other Legion members presented him with his certificate at Regency Care of Morris where he lives.

Velda, his wife of 71 years, was at the ceremony snapping photos with her phone, reminiscing how the man in front of her looked when he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1943.

“He had a head full of beautiful dark hair,” she said. “We met on a dance floor and after he did his six months of training, he came home and we got married before he left for the next two and a half years.”

Gilmoure landed on Normandy Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

“He’s told us the story of how he got off the boat and fell into a shell hole with 100 pounds on his back, a guy from Texas pulled him up and out of that hole or he would have died,” said Emil Feddeler, a fellow Mazon American Legion member. “This guy is my hero.”

Many who haven’t known him his whole life may assume his nickname, Tuffy, comes from his time in the service and hours spent fighting on the front line and diving into fox holes.

But he’s been “Tuffy” since day one.

“When I was one day old, my mom called my aunt and told her to come see me,” he said. “When she got there she took one look at me and said, ‘That’s a tuffy if I ever seen one.’ ” The name his aunt Laura Higgins gave him stuck.

Velda Gilmoure said she can imagine why it was said, since Tuffy was a 10-pound baby born to a woman not quite 5 feet tall.

The veteran said it was an honor to serve his country and while he would have preferred the Air Corps or the Navy, he was happy to serve in the 8th Division, 13th Infantry, Company H. Tuffy Gilmoure isn’t the first mem-

ber of the American Legion Post 352 to be honored for 50 years of continual service, though – in fact, he’s the seventh.

Legionnaire Jerry Angeloff said of the members who have been recognized for more than 50 years of continuous service, only two are still living – Gilmoure and Frank Sereno, who has been a member for 69 years.

He refers to this group of men as the “60-year boys.” They include Carroll Jewett, Donald Bivens, Ivan Pfeif-

er, William Halterman and Donald McCormick.

Sereno, who was present at last week’s ceremony and handed the certificate to Gilmoure, said Gilmoure always has been a good member and everyone’s friend.

“He’s just a good guy, and he loves everyone,” Sereno said.

Sereno, originally from Verona, served in the Air Corps in World War II. He joined the American Legion when he returned from war because it was the right thing to do, but didn’t become actively involved until after he retired.

Velda Gilmoure said the men at Post 352 are close and the organization has been good for her husband.

“I haven’t seen a service member yet who isn’t closer to another member than a brother is,” she said. “If one is in need, they are all there.”

A good number of the post members were there last week for Tuffy, saluting their friend and fellow veteran for his time of service to the post.

Easter egg hunts in abundance in Morris If you go

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Whether your kids have two legs or four, Morris offers a variety of Easter Egg hunts starting this weekend. On Saturday, the 12th annual Doggie Easter Egg Hunt offered by Bone-ifide Care will be held at Goold Park in Morris.

“We continue to offer the event because everyone enjoys it so much,” said Bonnie Latta, owner of Bone-ifide Care. “It’s a good family event.”

Latta said the eggs are filled with an assortment of doggie treats because dogs shouldn’t have chocolate.

At 10 a.m. the dogs will be let loose to sniff out the treat-filled eggs, and photos with the Easter Bunny will be available directly following the event for $5, with proceeds going to the Grundy County Animal Control Shelter.

For those with two-legged children, a new event is offered this year as the Morris Area YMCA puts on its inaugural Eater Egg Stavaganza on Sunday.

Executive Director Missy Durkin said the YMCA is hosting the event and plans to add it to its permanent holiday rotation for residents.

The event is open to members and non-members who want to take their children to a family friendly Easter event.

The event starts at the YMCA, 320 Wauponsee St. in Morris, at 12:30 p.m. where the YMCA and its partner Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers will offer fun Easter-themed events for chil-

Channahon to hold public information open houses

CHANNAHON – The Village of Channahon is inviting residents to two public information open houses in April regarding several projects. Both will be held at Channahon Village Hall, 24555 S. Navajo Drive.

From 5 to 7 p.m. April 6, residents can learn more about the village’s preliminary engineering for the proposed Bridge Street Bike Path. The path is intended to extend from the existing bike path on Route 6 west of McKinley Woods Road along Bridge Street to the existing I&M Canal bike path. From 5 to 7 p.m. April 12, residents can learn more about the preliminary engineering for the reconstruction and widening of Dove Drive between Sunset Boulevard and Route 6.

This section of road is in need of repair and has seen increased traffic volume since Dove and Sioux were connected with the construction of the school and park facility. Funding for the design and construction is anticipated to use 80 percent federal dollars. Those requiring special accommodations to attend or participate should call 815-467-6644.

Young heroes triumph in Mother-Son Date Night

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

Kevin Johnson, 4, of Minooka won his first battle with Darth Villain in less than 10 seconds during the March 10 Mother-Son date event hosted by the Channahon Park District. More than 190 mothers and sons gathered at Skateland Recreation Center for the annual Mother-Son Date Night. This year’s theme was “Star Wars Edition” and featured craft tables where mothers and sons could make Yoda ears and lightsabers, similar to those seen in the “Star Wars” films, and battle Darth Villain, a takeoff on the franchise’s Sith Lord bad guy. Boys from 3 to 10 learned to jump, dodge and use their lightsabers to overthrow Darth Villain, who ultimately ended down on the ground, defeated.

JJC increases tuition for next school year

JOLIET – Most of the Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees supported a student tuition increase that will take effect this fall semester.

The proposal from the JJC administration to increase tuition by $10 was approved, 5-2, at the March 8 board meeting. Board Trustee Michael O’Connell was absent.

The increase will raise the total tuition and fee rate from $115 to $125. JJC officials said the tuition increase for fiscal 2017 is needed to cover projected budget deficits, as well as funding priorities for a federal grant, City Center Campus and marketing costs. Board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich and Trustee Patricia Deiters voted against the tuition increase as being too high. The last tuition increase for JJC students was for the fall 2014 semester, at $4 a credit hour. The tuition, student fee and technology fee remained the same between fiscal 2013 and 2014, but the capital assessment fee increased from $17 to $21.

Morris man’s guilty plea remains in New Lenox Township murder

JOLIET – A Morris man who pleaded guilty to murdering his uncle in his New Lenox Township home has changed his mind again.

Jason M. Gonzalez, 29, made a “motion to withdraw his motion to withdraw his guilty plea” Friday before Judge Edward Burmila. In September 2015 Burmila sentenced Gonzalez to 45 years in prison for fatally shooting Lance Goebel on Sept. 17, 2009. Gonzalez did not tell Burmila why he had changed his mind, but will continue with a motion to have the judge reconsider the sentence, which will be argued this summer. Will County assistant state’s attorney Fred Harvey said Gonzalez, who is acting as his own attorney, wants more time in the law library at Stateville Correctional Center to prepare for the hearing.

Gonzalez was living with his uncle’s family in the 22700 block of South Cedar Road in New Lenox Township until two months before Goebel was found shot to death.

Prosecutors said Gonzalez had become “inappropriately fixated” on children in the family before he was evicted.

Last June, Gonzalez represented himself during a trial that lasted eight days before he decided to plead guilty. He faced 20 to 60 years in prison.

Grundy election roundup from Tuesday’s primary On the Web

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – At the local level, very few contested races were on Tuesday’s primary ballot.

Corri Trotter of Morris appeared to have won the Republican battle for circuit clerk against her opponent, Karen Broncoto of Coal City. With 39 of 40 precincts reporting late Tuesday night, the vote was 3,192 to 2,903.

Trotter will face Democrat challenger Joan Harrop of Morris who was the only Democrat to file a petition for the position in the November general election. The winner of the November election will fill the seat of four-term Grundy County Circuit Clerk Karen Slattery, who announced in August 2015 she would not run for re-election after 16 years in the position.

Brooke Shupe of Frankfort won the Democrat primary for Grundy County state’s attorney against Elizabeth A. Johnson of Morris; with 39 of 40 precincts reporting the vote was 2,251 to 1,835.

Shupe filed as a Democrat in hopes of taking over the position of incumbent Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland, who was the only Republican candidate to file.

For information about Grundy County candidates running in the March 15 primary election, visit our website at MorrisHerald-News.com/ election-central/index.xml.

In Grundy County District 1, Morris resident Don Hansen and incumbents Vicki Geiger and John B. Roth III were the leading vote-getters for the Republican primary. The vote, with 13 of 13 precincts reporting, were Roth with 1,622, Geiger with 1,456, and Hansen at 1,413.

Corsello received 1,083 votes.

There were no Democrats candidates for District 1; however, the party may slate up to three candidates to run in the November election.

In District 3, incumbents Frank Halpin Jr. of Gardner and Ann Gill of Coal City and Jim Ryan of Morris were the top three Democrat vote getters and will face incumbent Harold Vota of Coal City and Brian Severson of Dwight and Mashale Castelli of South Wilmington, who filed as Republican candidates. The

County was not tabulated as of late Tuesday night.

• Voters in the Mazon-Verona-Kinsman area in Grundy County were asked to approve the creation of the Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Rescue Squad District, which would provide ambulance response for the Mazon fire district and the Verona Kinsman fire district.

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – First Community Financial Bank, based in Joliet, announced Tuesday a merger with Mazon State Bank that will expand its services into Grundy County.

First Community CEO Roy C. Thygesen said in a news release the combination will further enhance the largest community bank headquartered in Will County and help better serve existing clients based in Grundy County.

Mazon State Bank – which owns and operates banks in Mazon, Braidwood and Diamond with $85 million in total assets – will increase customer service flexibility in several ways after the merger becomes official in

the third quarter of 2016.

In addition to a drop in its own operating costs, Mazon State Bank’s dollar limit for a financial deal will go from $1.9 million to $15 million because of First Community’s vast asset base.

“There’s been several banking deals come along that we’ve had to turn down because the dollar amount was too high,” Michael C. Breisch, chairman, president and CEO of Mazon State Bank said. “First Community’s technology is also right across from breaking edge.”

Breisch said Mazon State Bank already offered online banking, but services will expand with improved security. He said the new system will benefit both customers and employees.

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris Community High School Board members discussed Monday night tripling the fee for the behind-the-wheel portion of driver’s education.

Superintendent Pat Halloran told the board that district officials had looked at all the fees within its conference and had considered raising the book fee from $150 to $175, and the behind-the-wheel driver’s education fee from $50 to $150.

He said after looking at schools in the region, district officials found that the average registration fee is $157.

He said once he found out MCHS was near the average, he looked at alternative fees that could be increased, allowing the district to keep the book fee at $150.

“One fee we are low in the conference is behind-the-wheel,” Halloran said. “The average is $172, with us and Rochelle on the low end and DeKalb on the high end at $300.”

Board member Lynn Vermillion said she felt tripling the fee in one year was too much of an increase for the families in the district.

“I think that’s way too much,” she said.

She stressed that in a community where agencies like We Care of Grundy County are needed to provide assistance to residents, that large of an increase may be too much for fami-

lies to handle.

“I think if we need to increase any fees, that [behind-the-wheel] is the one,” board member Judie Roth said.

“Kids are going to push for it, they want to take it.”

Halloran said the only portion of the class the school is required to teach is the classroom portion, and the cost for the behind-the-wheel portion is about $48,000.

The current fee of $50 and funds from the state do not cover the expenses.

“We are scheduled to get $44,000 from the state, but we’ve only received $22,000,” he said.

Board members further discussed other fee increase options; Principal Kelly Hussey pointed out that most fees are paid by each student. If other fees are raised, families with more than one student in the school at a time could struggle to pay. But the driving fee would typically only effect one student per family at a time.

The board is expected to consider the increase next month after members have heard from parents and the community.

The board also voted unanimously to hire Jeremiah Farrell as the new assistant principal, filling the vacancy caused by the transfer of current assistant principal Jeff Johnson to the position of athletic director starting the 2016-17 school year.

Johnson is filling the vacancy created by the retirement of Athletic Director George Dergo.

First Community will pay $8.5 million for the assets of Mazon State Bank.

The agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies.

Conditions to the closing of the agreement include approval of Mazon State Bank parent company First Mazon’s shareholders, regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, the news release stated.

“It’ll be much easier for everyone,” Breisch said. “It’s clear and concise, and these are resources we’ve never had.”

Although he acknowledged most businesses would like to stand on their own, as Mazon State Bank has since it opened in 1944, the two banks have been in discussions for about a year. Leadership realized they shared the same vision for community-based banking.

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – A pioneer of aviation and manufacturing from Coal City will be honored at Coal City Public Library.

The life of William E. Somerville, who created wire cable machines and designed aircraft in the early 1900s – among other accomplishments – is the focus of a presentation at 7 p.m. March 22

by Jim Chambers. The event was coordinated by the Grundy County Historical Society.

Somerville was born in 1869 in Scotland and came to the United States at age

room, 85 N. Garfield St., Coal City

23. He became an engineer for General Electric in Coal City, and from there his work blossomed.

“The biggest thing people should know about him is he kept a lot of people working,” said Chambers, whose wife is the granddaughter of Somerville.

In the middle of his six years as mayor

of Coal City, Somerville founded in 1910 the Illinois Aero Construction Company and began manufacturing airplanes and airplane parts. He then ventured into manufacturing of steel cables.

Neither Somerville, nor his businesses, were restricted to Coal City as manufacturing expanded to Chicago, Chambers said. In the 1920s, Somerville opened a Ford franchise and The Coliseum dance hall. It had an 8,000-squarefoot dance floor, was popular until the 1940s but eventually was destroyed by a fire. To top it off, Somerville was active musically. He played the clarinet, formed a Marine Corps band in Coal

City and performed with esteemed composer John Philip Sousa. “[Somerville] lived in Coal City, but he was really a worldwide kind of guy,” Chambers said. “I don’t understand how he got it all done. He was into so many things.”

Chambers, also a pilot, said he became increasingly interested in Somerville’s life the more he learned about it.

Having family ties is an added bonus.

Chambers will go into detail about Somerville’s life and its impact on the Coal City area in the library’s meeting room. The event is free and reservations are not necessary.

MORRIS – There was a lot of cash, baskets, memorabilia and packages good for vacations and other events given out Saturday evening at the Saratoga PTO Luck of the Irish Drawdown – but the biggest winner was Saratoga students.

The event is the PTO’s largest fundraiser of the year, and all its proceeds go to help the school’s students and teachers.

This year, much of the money raised will go to purchase three bottle-filling cold water fountains for the school.

Sports and scholastic banners also will purchased for the gymnasium, according to PTO President Becki West. Funds will be made available for items teachers need for their classrooms throughout the year, such as pencil sharpeners, books and science equipment.

“We are there to help teachers and staff with anything they need,” West said. “Right now, we really need a new skeleton.”

Dollars from the PTO’s first drawdown last year were used, among other purchases, to buy a wheelchair swing for the school’s playground. Grundy County Special Education Cooperative joined to help with that project. The swing should

leading a charge of acceptance, and I’m proud of Saratoga, the PTO and the administration.”

Saratoga reading teacher Sheri Bardash attended the event and said the PTO also gives each teacher $200 a year for his or her classroom. She uses her money to buy books and shelves. One of the hottest bids at the drawdown was Senator for a Day with state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris. PTO volunteer Debra Johnson pulled together most of the bid donations, including the day with Rezin that will include a tour of the state capitol and sitting in on a legislative hearing.

Mike Wright won that package with a high bid of $625 that he said will be used by his 11-year-old daughter, Libby.

“It will be a great experience for the kid,” he said. “It will be a good learning experience, and Sue does a good job. She will be a good role model.”

Wright won after a bid battle with Courtney Pucel, who dropped out at $600.

“It was a great battle for a great cause,” Pucel said. “There’s always next year.”

PTO volunteer Suzanne Poole said it was a great turnout. As a working mom, she said, volunteering for the organization is a way she can help the school in a direct way.

Minooka group attended postponed Trump rally... ... and witnessed things they couldn’t believe

Lesson learned

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

MORRIS – The Grundy County board no longer will use a consent agenda during its regular board meetings.

Board member Debra Warning said the subject was addressed at the last United Council of Counties of Illinois meeting she attended, where it was advised that county code did not address the use of consent agendas.

“The state association suggested any counties currently using consent agendas cease using them until legisla-

tion is passed addressing it in the county code,” Warning said.

The county started using a consent agenda after a May 2013 board meeting where the board voted 15 to 1 to approve it, with board member Frank Halpin being the only no vote, according to county board minutes.

Administrator Doug Pryor said the county is taking the advice of the UCCI. According to a letter from Herman G. Bodewes of Giffin, Winning, Cohen and Bodewes PC to Michael McCreery at UCCI, which was given to the Morris Herald-News by Warning, his conclusion on the matter is: “In the absence of

Both Collins and Walker said they believed what they’ve seen regarding coverage of Friday night’s events have been largely lies and skewed numbers.

Walker said he watched Trump speak Saturday about 25,000 people in Chicago supporting him.

County board stops using consent agendas hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

“The place only holds 10,000 people. It wasn’t full, and the people there were about 60 percent protesters, and 40 percent Trump supporters,” he said.

“He also lied about emails being sent to those who got tickets from his site to stay home. We didn’t get an email.”

Collins said with only 80 percent of the arena filled, there were no supporters waiting to get inside.

“The news reports I’ve seen never show the first guy shoving the protesters, it only shows the second guy throwing the punch. It never told the whole story, it didn’t show the whole floor,” Walker said.

He said if it did, people would see that once the protesters broke out in cheers of joy, the Trump supporters moved toward them and started the fights.

a legislative amendment to the Counties Code similar to the Municipal Code provisions, county boards should strongly consider avoiding the use of consent agendas.”

Municipal Code in Illinois expressly authorizes the use of consent agendas, while the county code makes no mention of them at all.

“It’s not expressly laid out in county code, so with the legal opinion to err on the side of caution, we will not use consent agendas going forward,” Pryor said.

The consent agenda was last used at the February regular board meeting.

MINOOKA – “In Chicago trying to leave the rally. Absolute madness.

Never been so scared.”

This is what Emily Collins of Minooka, who is studying political science, posted to her Facebook wall at 7:55 p.m. Friday as she was trying to get herself, her sister Maddie, a friend, and her cousin Kellen Walker safely out of the parking garage at the UIC Pavilion where Donald Trump’s rally was postponed.

Collins thought it would be a good educational experience to attend a rally, despite not supporting the Republican front-runner.

She wanted to experience the political event firsthand, rather than filtered through what she feels is a biased media stream.

“I’m not a Trump supporter. Part of the reason I wanted to go was to see what happens at a political rally, how much of what we see is just the media showing the negative,” Emily Collins said Saturday. “We thought it would be better to have an adult with us, so we asked Kellen to go with.”

Mayhem broke loose in the pavil-

ion after it was announced Trump was postponing the event. The small Minooka-area group stood where they were seated and watched from a safe distance.

“I’m glad I went. My parents told me to be neutral, not to upset either side. We just stayed where we were because we weren’t sure if it was safe to exit or not,” Collins said. “We felt safer in the area because at least there was security.”

She said that although she has seen fights on television, she wasn’t prepared for the firsthand experience, the sound of one person punching someone else in the face.

Security told the group they needed to exit, and they were grateful to do so through a press-only door that led to the parking garage, avoiding the protesters gathering outside.

They wound up stuck in their car for about an hour as they waited for police to clear the way to exit.

“We were on the third floor of the parking garage. There were guys with bat, a tire iron and a hammer. One of them had a skull bandanna covering his face up to his eyes,” she said. “We sat there with our windows up and my sister was on the floor of the car with

an emergency blanket over herself talking to our mom on the phone.”

Walker said he has always followed politics and was intrigued to attend a rally.

“I went to listen. I am not a Trump supporter.” he said. “I wanted to watch the political system at work. I wanted to see how passionate people were.”

He wasn’t prepared for the passion he witnessed, however.

“At one point I had a tear rolling down my cheek, and I thought, this is the black and white photographs from my history books,” he said.

He said he saw America hasn’t advanced as much as he thought since the Civil Rights era.

Before leaving Minooka, Walker had sent a text to the girls: “Take it all in so you can learn and bring what you learn back to the people around you. This is as close as you’re going to get to seeing what we read in the history books live in action.”

Farm Bureau host 7th draw down

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – No one knows food like the farmers who grow it.

On Saturday, the public is invited to the seventh annual Grundy County Farm Bureau and Grundy County Friends of Extension draw down in Gardner for the annual fundraising dinner and auction.

In addition to the meal, there will be a chance to bid on items. Previous auctions have included John Deerethemed baskets, half of a hog grown locally to feed a whole family, and home decor.

Grundy County Farm Bureau Manager Tasha Bunting said the money is used for agricultural education such as scholarships, Ag in the Classroom, and supplies and materials for agricultural education.

All Grundy County fourth-grade students are introduced to agriculture during the monthly Ag in the Classroom session where they take part in a variety of agriculture activities including local crops, dairy farming, nutrition and careers in the agriculture field.

The students then compete in Ag Jeopardy, a tournament that tests their knowledge of agriculture.

“We have a great group of volunteers who make the night happen,” Bunting said. “The true success of the event is the people who come out the night of the event to support Grundy County.”

The event is held each year at the end of National Agriculture Week, a week set aside to celebrate and recognize what America’s farmers do for their communities and the country.

Randy Seggebruch, founding member of Friends of Extension, said it made sense for the two to come together because both organizations support Grundy County youth who are involved with agriculture, either through 4-H or as they head off to college.

The funds raised are split equally between the two organizations.

Seggebruch said in the previous six years, the organizations raised a total of more than $130,000.

EARTH Expo deemed a success in 25th year

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – LyondellBasell Environmental Engineer Sandy Yu handed green Styrofoam packing peanuts to 14-year-old Stephanie Higgins of Channahon and 11-year-old Kaitlyn Wilkinson of Minooka and told them to place them in a plastic cup filled with a green liquid. Both girls took a handful, shoved them in the cup and watched the Styrofoam disappear.

“Today, we are showing people how to take the foam out of Styrofoam by placing it in a finger nail polish solution,” Yu said.

This experiment was one of many available during the 25th Annual Grundy County Earth Expo at Saratoga School on Saturday. The University of Illinois Extension has put on this Earth Expo, which stands for Environment, Ag, Rescue, Technology and Health, in order make the community aware of businesses in the area that are not always noticed, but a large part of the work force.

“We host this so our next generation of the labor force knows what jobs are in our community and to allow them to think of the process it takes to get there,” said John Davis, Youth Development Educator at the University of Illinois Extension and event planning committee

Vision and Hearing Working Together – Why? SPONSORED BY

• Vision and hearing are our two most important senses • We use these senses together to blend visual pictures and auditory sounds every minute of the day • These two senses are fundamental to our ability to interact and communicate in our environment • As we get older, both vision and hearing tend to deteriorate, often at the same time.

Since incorporating hearing healthcare services into our practice almost 25 years ago, Ortiz Eye Associates has improved patient loyalty by raising the level of patient care. Our patients have a very positive response because of the convenience of visiting one office to receive two services. Hearing is a valuable service that many patients were not getting. Many patients did not know where to go for a hearing problem that they have had for a long time.

Our patients have trusted Ortiz Eye Associates for many years for their vi-

sion care. They know they can trust us for their hearing healthcare.

More than 31.5 million Americans find it difficult to hear without a hearing aid according to a survey by the Better Hearing Institute published in July 2005.

Joining the two services together is a very good solution to help with “ a crisis in American healthcare.” Our professionals are here to evaluate, counsel and treat our vision and hearing patients by being point-of-entry primary caregivers for our two most important sensory systems.

weekend and decided the event would be interesting for the entire family.

“This was our first time here and it’s fantastic,” Imelda Long said. “It offers great learning for the kids and us as well.

It’s nice to see what the companies in this area actually do.”

Kaci Long enjoyed the Akzo Nobel Chemicals Inc. booth, which allowed the revelers to partake in a chemical experiment that used everyday household

items and showed how dish soap spreads out fat molecules.

“My favorite was when I put milk and food coloring on the plate and then added dish soap and mixed it all together,” Kaci said.

Her brother Gus loved the big snakes during the Dave DiNaso Traveling World of Reptile show offered in a separate gym, which had more than 200 in attendance.

New to the expo was the addition of EDP Renewables Top Crop II Wind Farm of Grundy County which displayed an interactive display to show the power of wind.

“This is interesting to me because wind is a renewable energy, and if you look at other parts of the world, energy really is inexpensive in most parts of America,” Davis said.

More than 1,000 visitors rotated through the doors during the four-hour expo, Some were veterans and others were there for the first time. Donations of nonperishable foods and pet items were encouraged in lieu of entry fee. Otherwise, the event was free to the public.

“My friend, Karen Johnson from Morris, invited me, and I thought it would be fun. It was a beautiful day outside and I found this to be very informative, interactive, and I picked up some things for my grandsons,” Judy Baron of Morris said.

Area officials and I&M Canal enthusiasts met Wednesday at the Four Rivers Environmental Education Center in Channahon for the Fourth Annual I&M Canal National Heritage Area Congress event.

The marketing firm examined the former “I&M Canal National Heritage Corridor” name. They found about 75 percent of people surveyed weren’t sure what a corridor was, and replacing it with the word “area” resonated better.

The logo, which used to feature a

cowboy, was redesigned with an adult and child surrounded by grasses, birds and the Chicago skyline in the distance.

Survey test participants found it puzzling a cowboy was depicted in the former logo.

CHANNAHON – The I&M Canal National Heritage Area’s fourth annual Canal Alliance Congress held last week largely focused on the history of the canal area and how to market it for the future.

The event, held at the Four Rivers Environmental Education Center in Channahon, went from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. March 9 and featured more than 20 short presentations. The afternoon session started with a presentation on rebranding the I&M Canal by Robin Malpass, principal and founder of Malpass & Associates. Malpass pointed out that although every municipality is proud of its history and eager to market it, that can get redundant.

“History is over-marketed,” Malpass said. “Every town has history.”

Malpass & Associates, following a survey study, settled on a new branding tagline of “100 miles filled with simple pleasures and national treasures.”

The study confirmed simple pleasures of the canal – such as hiking, biking, canoeing and picnics – resonated with people. There’s also the convenience of exploring historic towns along the canal that grew with the help of the once-bustling transportation route.

nal,” Malpass said.

Malpass said the new logo is aimed at drawing in tourism from the millions of visitors that come through Chicago each year. The canal begins at the Chicago River in Bridgeport and runs 96 miles to the Illinois River at LaSalle-Peru. It once connected the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River and the rest of the world before railroads became prominent.

Malpass pointed out “The 606”, a new trail on the north side of Chicago that was built atop an old train route, is overcrowded. She said it’s because people are so invigorated by the little bit of nature there, even if she herself saw one bird there, that they flock to the trail. Little do they know, the I&M Canal State Trail is more peaceful, and nestled in nature.

“People are desperate to get into nature in the city,” Malpass said. “We have a product here [along the canal] that can be promoted to the suburbs and Chicago, packaged in a way for people to make the most of their experiences.”

Other presentations focused on various parts of the canal area in their current state and projects in canal towns.

The first half of the day celebrated the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary and featured presentations from National Parks representatives.

Q: We’re studying the eye in school and I am wondering if you can tell us some interesting facts about the eye?

I hear the housing market is getting better.

Is it good now?

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.

There are some amazing things about the eyes, Jeffrey J. Blanco, O.D. here are a few: 1. Eye color is controlled by the level of melanin ( a type of pigment) in your iris. Brown eyes have more melanin and blue eyes have less melanin.

2.Your eye has approximately 107,000,000 cells which are sensitive to light.

7 million are called “cones” and 100 million cells are called “rods.” Cones help us see color and detail and rods help us see better in the dark and are also sensitive to seeing movement.

3.A study was once done to see if people could get used to wearing glasses that made everything look upside down.They in fact did get used to seeing things upside down and when the glasses were removed and everything was right side up, it took several days before they were comfortable.

4. On the average you blink 17 times per minute, and 5.2 million times a year.

5.The phrase “in the blink of an eye” possibly became popular because the muscle in the eye that controls blinking is the fastest muscle in your body.

Church in Morris to perform ‘The Living Last Supper’ “We wanted to do something to reach out to the community again. It’s now become somewhat of a tradition.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The painting “The Last Supper” by Leonardo Da Vinci – which depicts Jesus Christ’s last meal with his disciples as noted in the book of John – is brought to life by members of First Presbyterian Church of Morris in the dramatic musical “The Living Last Supper” by Ruth Elaine Schram.

As each actor portraying a disciple asks Ray Grossi, who portrays Jesus, “Is it I?” they are faced with a solemn stare before Grossi drops his eyes to the table before him.

“I want to portray Jesus to the best of my ability,” Grossi said during a break at practice Monday night.

The actors, dressed as the disciples, take the same position portrayed in the Da Vinci painting, bringing it to life as they move forward from the scene and give a monologue about their relationship with Jesus and question if they will be the one to betray him.

The musical progresses and Grossi washes each actor’s feet, in the way Jesus washed the feet of the disciples that night, kneeling before them.

Grossi said the scene shows the

his place, the actors freeze in the exact poses of the painting, giving viewers a moment to reflect.

Jay Roth, who portrays one of the disciples in the production, said the group decided to perform the musical because it is the most appropriate sto-

ry to tell on Maundy Thursday.

For the past couple of years, the church has performed “The Last Words,” but chose to move back to the theme of the Last Supper, a performance it did in 2009 and 2010.

Roth said the church chose this musical because it wanted to do something different than the last performance and Schram’s production includes musical pieces for the choir to perform. Roth said the performance is open to the public.

“We wanted to do something to reach out to the community again,” Roth said. “It’s now become somewhat of a tradition.”

The production will be performed at 7 p.m. Maundy Thursday at the First Presbyterian Church.

When you are dealing with responsibilities in your own life, it is often easy to miss the clues that a senior parent is having difficulty with day-to-day living. Common indicators of coping problems are lack of personal hygiene, stained clothing, and dirty living spaces. If you are hesitant to pass judgment, ask other family members to discuss any changes that they may have observed.

Together you may agree that a caregiver should be hired to assist your loved one. Try to start slowly with just a few hours of caregiving services until the senior client gets accustomed to having a stranger in the house. When additional caregiving services are needed, there should be less resistance from the senior client.

Grundy internship program to have strongest year yet The Grundy County Internship Program began in 2013 as a way to make a connection between some of Grundy County’s brightest students and the local employers in the region.

At the time, local businesses were struggling to find candidates for professional positions and were concerned about the availability of a future workforce. Many local students were heading off to college or other continuing education opportunities and not returning to Grundy County to work and raise a family. And so the internship program was born. State Sen. Sue Rezin took a lead role in bringing the education and business communities together, and local champions such as Aux Sable CEO Bill McAdam and Coal City School Superintendent Kent Bugg made a pledge to work together.

The 2016 class of interns will be the largest group in the four-year history of the program with nearly 40 positions available at 18 area businesses and institutions. The program began with just three companies and nine intern-

COMMUNITY PULSE Nancy Norton Ammer ships. There are many reasons for its success, but the primary drivers are the exceptional students and the real-world career experience provided by the business community. Nearly all the positions are paid and include the fields of engineering, IT, marketing, accounting, and human resources, to name a few.

The Grundy Economic Development Council begins working with local businesses in the fall of each year to identify possible internship opportunities. The companies then submit a brief job description by year end. At the same time, the Grundy Area Vocational Center works with the four local high schools – Coal City, Gardner, Minooka and Morris – to identify students who might be interested. In addition to a good academic record, students need to have

Morris Hospital welcomes new VP of Professional Services SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Tom Dohm of New Lenox is the new vice president of Professional Services at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers.

In this role, Dohm has senior leadership responsibility for Emergency Medical Services/Emergency Management, Environmental Services, Facilities, Materials Services/ Purchasing, Nutrition Services, and Safety/ Security.

A native of the south suburbs, Dohm most Tom Dohm recently served as vice president of Support Services at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago, where he provided oversight and leadership for a number of support service departments.

Additionally, he was responsible for short- and long-term planning related to construction, as well as overall safety of the campus.

His more than 25 years of health

care leadership experience also includes chief operating officer at Provident Hospital of Cook County and numerous leadership roles with Oak Forest Hospital over a span of two decades.

“Tom has a proven track record of leadership and relationship building and recognizes the importance of achieving exceptional results in clinical quality, regulatory compliance, service excellence, patient satisfaction and employee satisfaction,” said Mark Steadham, president and CEO. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our senior leadership team.”

Looking back on his initial impressions of Morris Hospital, Dohm says he felt it was the right size, in the right location, with the right leadership and vision.

“I have felt all along that Morris Hospital’s values are in line with my own personal values,” Dohm said.

“I’m looking forward to being part of the future plans for Morris Hospital and getting to know the people and the contributions they make.”

strong soft skills, such as attendance, attitude and willingness to work.

When the students return from winter break, all the internship opportunities are posted online and all students are welcome to apply for a position.

Thanks to the superintendents, principals and counselors, more than 70 local students applied for the program this year.

The GEDC and the GAVC pledge to make the program a “real world” opportunity for both the students and the businesses. Each applicant must supply a cover letter, résumé and transcripts.

That information is forwarded to the companies, and they decide who they want to interview and eventually hire.

Hiring an intern is completely at the discretion of the business including the wage, hours worked, and tasks to be completed. Interns become “employees” of that company and under the same rules and regulations of the workplace.

The competition for many of these well-paid positions is fierce. Students have the opportunity to participate

in a interview class provided by JJC Workforce Services and go through the hiring process. Parents and students have commented that just the process is worthwhile even if the student isn’t chosen.

So many people, organizations, and businesses make this program possible.

Thanks to the direction of Lance Copes at the GAVC for coordinating the education side of the program and Nikki Wills from the GEDC for working with local businesses. A special recognition to the sponsors of this year’s interns: Aux Sable, Morris Hospital, Grainger, U.S. Cold Storage, LyondellBasell, City of Morris, Spaceco Engineering, Village of Diamond, GEDC, Midwest Industrial Sales, Metalstamp, Morris CoGen, Joliet Junior College, Northfield Block, Rezin Orthopedics, Standard Bank, Utility Concrete and the Grundy County Health Department.

LOCAL BRIEFS New site VPs named for Dresden, LaSalle stations

MORRIS – Two nuclear industry veterans with nearly 50 years of combined experience are returning to their “home” stations to lead the teams at Exelon Generation’s Dresden and LaSalle County stations.

Peter J. Karaba began his career as an engineer at Dresden Station in 1990; he returns as site vice president. He held a variety of positions of increasing responsibility in Dresden’s engineering, maintenance and operations departments. In 2010, he transferred to LaSalle Station, where he served as plant manager for two years before being promoted to site vice president.

He replaces Shane Marik, who was recently named site vice president and chief nuclear officer of Fort Calhoun Generating Station in Nebraska.

Bill Trafton, formerly the plant manager at Exelon Generation’s Nine Mile Point Station in New York, is site vice president at LaSalle.

Trafton began his career as an equipment attendant at LaSalle Station in 1983 and progressively worked his way up through the ranks, serving in various leadership positions. Prior to his role as plant manager at Nine Mile Point, Trafton was the station’s

operations director.

First National Bank of Dwight to buy Seneca bank

DWIGHT – The First National Bank of Dwight, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Dwight Corp., has entered into an agreement to buy the Seneca branch of MB Financial Bank.

The First National Bank of Dwight has been in business since 1906 and has $115 million in assets. It operates out of a single location in Dwight, which is about 25 miles southwest of Seneca. The transaction has been approved by both institutions but is subject to regulatory approval and may be several months away from the actual changeover. The current MB Financial customers in Seneca can expect a seamless changeover, the Dwight bank said in a news release.

“We are delighted to acquire MB’s Seneca Branch and we look forward to providing community banking services to the Seneca market and becoming an important part of this community,” Dwight Bank President Robert Maierhofer said in the news release.

Joliet, IL to the late Josef and Kazimiera (Jankiewicz) Lapicki and was welcomed by his brother, Andrew K. Lapicki (Cynthia).

In 1986 Joseph married Marie Estelle (Ardaugh), who survives along with their children, Mariette Renee (Robert Vicich), Joseph Dylan (Kimber Tiara Harris) and Andrew Armstrong (Caitlin Evita Klaboe), Lapicki grandchildren also survive. Ligia (Jankiewicz) Targowski (Joseph’s Godmother), Leonard and Sandra Ardaugh, other family members and friends survive.

Joseph attended Holy Cross School and Joliet Catholic High before moving to Morris, IL with his family, then attended Morris High School.

From there he attended Western Illinois University. After marriage he continued his education studying horticulture at Joliet Junior College. Joseph was a member of Will County Carpenters Local 174 before moving to Montana.

Joseph was an avid outdoorsman and was fondly nicknamed “Coho Joe” by his favorite fishing buddy and future brotherin-law, Roy Ardaugh.

After vacationing in Montana many times with his brother as a young man, Joseph knew that was where he wanted to live his life. Part of our family moved to Montana in 2001.

In 2004, Joseph joined his family in Terry, MT, but this wasn’t the Montana he had dreamt of, so he went off to take a ride and returned late at night, announcing that he had just found his ranchland.

Until recently, Joseph lived primarily in Volborg, MT coming home to Terry often.

It was on the ranch in Volborg that Joseph was happiest, he enjoyed every day spent in the outdoors, especially being accompanied by his faithful German Shepherd dogs. Joseph had a huge appreciation for the land, in all aspects.

He enjoyed reforesting and arranging landscapes to accommodate all aspects of nature’s bounty.

nutrient levels and show how they can change throughout the growing season,” Jeschke said.

To that point, he recommends testing water in April before planting crops, again around June 1 and again in midto-late-July. Timing of these tests will show highs and lows in nutrient loss. For example, nutrient loss in the middle of July will be drastically different than in spring months, Jeschke said.

Water testing helps farmers make decisions on how to get the best quantity and quality from their fields. The decisions also can help keep nitrates and phosphorus out of waterways. Too much of the nutrients creates excessive algae blooms and disrupts wildlife.

Jeschke said the water sampling ef-

forts are aimed at meeting the Environmental Protection Agency’s goal by 2035 of reducing the areal extent of the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone to less than 5,000 km2. The Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force, also known as the Hypoxia Task Force, agreed on an interim target of a 20 percent nutrient load reduction by the year 2025 as a milestone toward achieving the final goal in 2035.

The hypoxic zone – an area of low oxygen levels – is the width of the southern tip of Louisiana, but nutrient-enriched water creates algae blooms in water systems from Montana to Pennsylvania that eventually make their way to the Mississippi River and finally, the Gulf of Mexico.

Hope Helps to hold annual raffle April 9

With the start of the 2016 crop cycle approaching in April and May, the Illinois Corn Growers Association is reminding farmers statewide about the benefits of water sampling.

The free and confidential water testing service offered by the Bloomington-based ICGA can help farmers understand nutrient loss at various times of the year, depending on when samples are taken.

Paul Jeschke, an Illinois Corn Marketing Board member, said it’s unrealistic to recommend and expect all farmers to get water tested, Jeschke said, although he would encourage all farmers to at least learn about the issue of nutrient loss.

Farmers can take water samples from sources on their land, such as streams or drainage tiles, and collect them in something as simple as a clean mason jar, Jeschke said. Farmers then have the option of traveling with the samples to ICGA headquarters for a test, mailing them there or waiting for a traveling test site. Jeschke, a Mazon farmer, said the 2016 traveling test dates have not been released yet.

Jeschke does water testing whenever it’s convenient, often in accordance with ICGA events and meetings in Bloomington. He took a test in December because he was curious what winter test results would look like. He’s also curious how the March rains will alter results.

Examine which veteran groups that you donate to

To the Editor: During the last two weeks, many veterans and the general public have been angered by revelations of mismanagement and inappropriate use of donations by the CEO and COO of the Wounded Warrior Project. Both men were terminated March 10 by the board of directors, which should have been much more diligent in its fiduciary duties to the charity, its donors and, more importantly, the veterans it was supposed to be assisting.

It’s an all-too-common story – a worthwhile cause that actually has accomplished many good things ends up neglecting its primary responsibilities and becomes a cash cow for a few highly placed executives wasting resources that could be better directed to veterans’ assistance. High salaries – in the case of the Wounded Warriors Project CEO almost $500,000 a year salary – and highly questionable expenditures for “training” and “team building” along with operating expenses consumed almost 40 percent of donations.

Operating a nationwide charity solicitation – complete with a sophisticated advertising campaign, audience tested to create feelings of empathy, with recurring charges to your credit card and narrated by well-known celebrities who often donate their time – is expensive to produce and to present to the public.

I certainly am not advocating for the wholesale denial of donations to this organization, which has and will continue to provide much-needed services to wounded veterans.

However, there are alternatives.

There are local veterans’ organizations that have been around for many years serving veterans and their communities.

Their members are veterans who not only receive no salary but many pay dues to belong to these organizations. They do not need to conduct team-building exercises because they already did that while serving in the armed forces and have little or no overhead to eat up your donations.

More importantly, the majority of the donation stays in the local community assisting local veterans.

Contact your local American Legion, Amvets, Disabled American Veterans, Ma-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

rine Corps League, Vietnam Veterans of America, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States or other veterans organization, ask about their programs and, if you think these programs are worthwhile, help out with a donation. Most of these organizations are 501c (19) tax-exempt and registered Illinois nonprofit corporations so your donations may be deductible.

If you are a veteran, see which of these organizations you may be eligible to join and help us help veterans.

Our veterans never will forget what they have done for our country. Neither should we.

We need to reduce carbon emissions

To the Editor: Recent reactions to the proposal to build a natural gas fueled power plant in Grundy County generally were enthusiastic.

Unfortunately, one aspect of the proposal was universally ignored. Power plants that burn fossil fuels, including natural gas, are the top producer of carbon pollution that negatively impacts public health, degrades air quality and contributes to changes in our global climate.

Natural gas power plants are touted as good for the environment, but the reality is they still produce about 60 percent of the carbon dioxide pollution as a conventional coal power plant. In the case of the proposed plant in Grundy County, that would amount to over 1.3 million pounds or more than 650 tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year. That amounts to more than 52,000 pounds of pollution for every new job created. While a diverse energy sector is beneficial to our economy, we also need to move forward to reduce, rather than increase carbon emissions. Illinois’ nuclear power plants, which produce almost half of our electricity, and our growing wind and solar generation, make Illinois the leading producer of carbon-free electricity in the United States. We need to think hard about making moves backwards by increasing, rather than reducing our carbon output.

FIND YOUR ADVENTURE adno=0346114

During the past five years, Morris Elementary School District 54 has embraced the understanding that children immersed in conversations and activities about books thrive in the latter years. Campbell et al. (2002) contends, “Providing children strong literacy education in the early years leads to better outcomes later on.” Those children with less frequent exposure to books face tougher learning challenges in school and beyond.

The National Institute of Literacy suggests that foundational reading and writing skills that develop from birth to age 5 have a definitive relationship with advanced literacy skills. “Developing Early Literacy: Report of the National Early Literacy Panel (2008),” identifies the six variables shown to be relevant even when other variables such as IQ and socioeconomic status are taken into account.

The six indicators shown to promote conventional literacy skills include: alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness, rapid automatic naming of letters or digits, rapid automatic naming of objects or colors, writing or writing names, and phonological memory.

COMMUNITY PULSE Chris Maier Children’s ability to learn how to read and write begins at birth. As newborns hear sounds, they begin to build the foundations of spoken language, reading and writing. Children flourish when then are given repeated exposure to rich language books, materials and experiences. Skilled reading in elementary school is shaped by early literacy experiences long before a child encounters formal reading instruction.

In an effort to help provide these engaging experiences, Morris Elementary School District 54 has focused on providing opportunities for children and families to begin developing foundational emergent and early literacy skills. The most significant program established by the District is the “Once Upon a Time” early literacy program.

District Librarian Marnie Garcia, and classroom teachers Kaislie Chmielewski and Jill Larsen founded

the “Once Upon a Time” early literacy program during the 2012-2013 school year. The purpose of the program was to provide a new children’s storybook to children ages 3 to 5 who resided in the district each month. Once a month, the founders of the program travel throughout the community to hand-deliver children’s books to the participants, provide a lasting smile, and kind words of encouragement, all while still promoting the love of reading.

The “Once Upon a Time” early literacy program strives to build at home libraries to promote family engagement, spark imagination and creativity, and develop a lasting passion for reading.

Currently, nearly 100 children throughout the district participate in the program. In its’ four years, more than 500 children have benefited from the program. Every February, White Oak Elementary School hosts its Clifford the Big Red Dog Early Reader Book Fair. Selections at the fair are geared toward reaching the emergent and early readers in the community. America’s favorite big, red dog, Clifford, makes a night appearance for pictures, high fives, and hugs, all showing his

love for reading.

Family Reading Night is one of the most popular events of the winter months. Each year, nearly 200 students and family members attend the event.

A highlight of the evening is the read alouds by Mrs. Garcia. Students also are encouraged to donate gently used books for a book swap, along with raffle drawings for new books. The evening generally ends with a family activity and tasty treat.

Our children are our future. It is vital for children to read and write at grade level, or better, by the time they leave elementary school.

A child who reads at grade level is more likely to do well in school and later in life. Taking the time to read to children in their formative years is an investment in their lifelong success.

• Chris Maier is the District 54 Principal. Community Pulse is a weekly column that provides a dedicated space for Grundy County-area nonprofits, schools, organizations and sometimes Morris Herald-News staff to share news and information about their organization.

Debbie Button named Morris Hospital Fire Starter of the Month SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Staff at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers say Debbie Button, of Morris, is a dream to work with.

She loves what she does as a cardiac sonographer, she’s a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to help whenever and wherever she’s needed, and she makes good things happen as a result of her positive outlook. Button was selected Morris Hospital’s Fire Starter of the Month for February.

“Deb is definitely an asset to the team,” said Jori Christensen, Morris Hospital’s director of Cardiovascular Services and Education. “Her can-do attitude is one of her strongest attributes. She is an excellent problem-solver and helps figure out solutions to situations, big and small. She also possesses a wealth of experience and knowledge which she willingly shares with peers and new employees.”

As a child, Button said she always wanted to be a nurse. Yet during her senior year of high school when she was enrolled in the Grundy Area Vocational Center, she discovered the Respiratory Therapy department at Morris Hospital and went on to become a certified respiratory therapist.

Debbie Button of Morris was selected Morris Hospital’s Fire Starter of the Month for February.

She landed her first job at Morris Hospital in 1979, and when the Cardiology and Respiratory Therapy departments eventually merged, she took courses and attended seminars that allowed her to pursue certification in echocardiography.

For years, Button worked as both

a respiratory therapist and echo tech until she eventually decided to focus solely on Cardiac Diagnostics.

“I love echo,” said Button. “Every patient is different. We spend about 30 minutes with each patient and have time to visit and talk. I often feel like we’re the liaison between the patient

and the physician, and we’re often able to put patients at ease about their medical concerns. The patients really are the most rewarding part of the job.”

Through her 37 years with Morris Hospital, Button said she is most proud of her involvement in the hospital’s new Rhythm of Our Youth heart screening program that will be launched at area high schools next fall.

She said she has been talking about doing something to address teenage sudden cardiac death ever since a friend and co-worker lost her son 17 years ago.

“It was through Deb’s own personal research that she found this opportunity for the hospital to work with school districts within our service area to provide cardiac screening in an effort to prevent sudden cardiac death in our local teens,” Christensen said.

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

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

Morris Theatre Guild begins rehearsals for spring show SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – The Morris Theatre Guild Inc. has begun rehearsals and is taking reservations for its spring production of “The Fox on the Fairway,” a comedy by Ken Ludwig.

The story: A tribute from Ken Ludwig to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, “The Fox On the Fairway” takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics.

It’s a charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man’s eternal love affair with ... golf.

The very talented cast is directed by Matt Johnson of Newark and assisted

by Annie Ficht-Kowalczyk of Morris.

The cast includes both veteran and new guild members, including Bill Gillespie of Marseilles, Erica Quirk of Minooka, Annie Ficht-Kowalczyk of Morris, Joe Ennenbach of Peru, Jenna Stinson of Shorewood, and Brian Pross of Yorkville.

“The Fox on the Fairway” opens April 22 and continues April 23, 24, 29 and 30. It closes May 1. All Friday and Saturday evening performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. and both Sunday matinee performances will begin at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets for adults are $12 each if reserved by email, phone or purchased online, and $15 each if purchased at the door.

For those ages 13 and younger, or students able to show their ID, the ticket price for email, phone or online reservations are $10 each. Otherwise, the

adult price applies. Also, groups of 10 or more people making a reservation by phone will receive a 10 percent discount off the total ticket price.

GEDC, Grundy Chamber Awards Dinner held

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy Economic Development Council and the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry came together again this year at the Morris Country Club for their annual dinner and recognized area businesses, entrepreneurs and organizations for their contributions to the community.

“I’ve been doing this dinners for 16 years and we’ve never been sold out,” Nancy Norton Ammer, CEO of GEDC, said after the awards presentation.

“Not only were we sold out, but there was a waiting list to attend the event.”

She said the county has a lot to celebrate, and with businesses doing well they wanted to participate.

More than 270 business leaders and guests attended the March 9 event for dinner and combined recognition by both organizations.

Norton Ammer and Chris Breyman, vice president at the Grundy Bank and vice chairman of the GEDC, presented GEDC awards to three area businesses.

The Welcome to Grundy County award went to Airgas.

“Business attraction is a very competitive business, especially when the prize is a first-class manufacturing facility,” Norton Ammer said during the event. “Thankfully with the help of many people including Grundy County and Village of Minooka, the GEDC was successful in attracting Airgas to the community.”

Airgas is a $40 million-plus air separation company that went online in December.

Jerry Anderson, plant manager for Airgas, said after the event that the company is grateful to be welcomed to the county with the award and it has many new things coming, including a commitment to being part of the community.

The Partnership Award went to Marquette Properties.

Owners Pete Fleming and his father, Mike Fleming, were presented the award for their commitment to attracting new commercial and industrial developments.

“Pete Fleming and his father, Mike Fleming, don’t just broker property, they work tirelessly to move economic development forward for the entire county,” Norton Ammer said.

The Business of the Year Award from the GEDC went to U.S. Cold Storage.

The company broke ground 20 years ago this month on its 150,000-squarefoot facility and the goal to employ 40 people.

Today, U.S. Cold Storage in Minooka covers 500,000 square feet and em-

Chamber awards

Grundy County Chamber of Commerce awards were presented by Executive Director Christina Van Yperen and Jill Behning.

The Business of the Year Award went to the Joliet Slammers and was accepted by Ken Miller, director of community relations and general manager Heather Mills.

“Joliet Slammers minor-league baseball team has spent the last six years making strides in representing more than just Joliet,” Van Yperen said. “To date the team has 12 community nights, including a night each for Morris, Seneca and Coal City, with the goal of adding more.”

The Entrepreneur of the Year Award this year was given to both Jane and Stu Kerr of Apple Butter & Shugies and Kevin Brown of Brown Bear Painting.

“The Kerrs put Grundy County on the map when they were honored in August in New York City as a finalist in the 64th annual Retail Excellence Award hosted by Gifts & Decoration Accessory Magazine,” Van Yperen said. “In November, the magazine featured Apple Butter & Shugie’s as one of the top 25 stores in the United States.”

Van Yperen also recognized the Kerrs for their local support of organizations such as Grundy County’s Festival of Trees, Morris Community YMCA, Hospice, and United Way of Grundy County.

Van Yperen said Brown was chosen after his company grew from a oneman operation to employing five fulltime employees year around with 12 full-time employees in the summer.

“While running and growing his business, Kevin still finds the time to give back to the community,” Van Yperen said. “He currently serves as vice president of Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity heading up the organizations fundraising as well as volunteering for Team Make A Difference and the Morris Community High School Education Foundation.”

Organization of the Year went to Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity with board President Julie Wilkinson and Executive Director Sarah Peterson accepting the award. “ ‘A world where everyone has a decent place to live,’ this is the vision of the Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity,” Van Yperen said. “As they celebrate 20 years this July, they have more than made strides on that vision right here in Grundy County.”

Ambassador of the Year was awarded to Angela Baumeister of WCSJ/ WJDK Radio.

Behning, who presented the award, said chamber ambassadors serve as liaisons between the Chamber members and staff.

Baumeister won the award last week night for the second time. She has served as an Ambassador chairman, vice chairman, and secretary since joining the Ambassador program seven years ago.

Northwestern Medicine Proton Center in Warrenville.

More cancer centers got on board with the project and four more trees were planted at Lurie Children’s Hospital.

One of those is in memory of 7-year old Addison Locke, who died in 2013 from a rare liver cancer.

Steve Locke, athletic director at Joliet Central High School, and his wife, Erin Locke, a third-grade teacher at Troy Craughwell Elementary in the Troy District, were thrilled to have Addison remembered with a tree by friends Steve and Stephanie Millsaps.

As time has passed, people don’t talk about as much about Addison as they once did, Steve Locke said.

face,” he said. “When people do these nice gestures out of the blue, it make us feel good.”

Seven trees have been “planted” and seven more are on the list, including one in South Carolina, which will be hand-delivered by Coffel and Bavilacqua. A hospital in California also has shown interest. th

“Being nationwide is our goal. We want to be in every state,” Bavilacqua said.

While the project is gaining momentum, there’s a lot more work to be done for the organization itself.

In order to maintain the trees, they need to be “watered” with lollipops on a regular basis.

“It’s very exciting, but also scary,” said Bavilacqua. “The need is great, but the financial resources are not there yet.”

Hospitals easily go through 10 bags of lollipops a month, which will cost Handing H.O.P.E. $3,000 a year a tree.

Bavilacqua and Coffel are hoping to bring business and corporate sponsors on board to help fund the replacement lollipops.

In the meantime, Handing H.O.P.E. will continue with its mission to help ease the suffering of children with cancer.

Little eyes lit up as they walked recently through the halls of Advocate Children’s Hospital with the lollipop tree. Even family members and staff were encouraged to pick from the tree.

Two-year old Zoey Coughlin reached out for the lollipops with both hands as they entered her hospital room.

Despite the medical tubes and wires attached to her body, Zoey was all smiles.

“She loves suckers,” said her mom Keri Coughlin. “You’ve made her day.”

Jen Coffel and Kim Bavilacqua, founders of the new nonprofit organization Handing H.O.P.E., traveled Friday to Advocate Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn to bring a special treat to the patients.

They were delivering their seventh lollipop tree to be “planted” at Advocate.

Anyone who has gone through cancer treatments can tell you it literally leaves a bad taste in your mouth. For a child, having the sweet taste of a lollipop to cover the bad taste can make a big difference during a difficult time.

After doing research, Coffel and Bavilacqua found Dr. Johns healthy lollipops, which are made with Xylitol and proven to be a safe sweetener, Coffel said.

“They are really healthy,” she said. “They are sugar free, soy free, dairy free, everything free.”

The two friends – one from Channahon the other from Minooka – wanted to do something to help kids battling cancer after their own lives were affected by the disease.

Bavilacqua is a cancer survivor herself. Coffel lost her dad, mom and a best friend from cancer in just two years.

Once they got through their own grief, they founded Handing H.O.P.E. with a mission of helping others through prevention and education, as well as provision and evangelism.

The lollipop tree project was created to help children with cancer and as a way of honoring the memory of those who have died from the disease.

Each tree is “planted” in memory of someone as a way to carry on their legacy. The first lollipop tree was planted in honor of Coffel’s dad at

YMCA BASKETBALL

By MARK JOHNSON

Shaw Media Correspondent

• Thursday, March 17, 2016

MORRIS – To Derek Zumbahlen, Sunday marked a successful conclusion to the first season of the Morris Community YMCA’s men’s basketball league – and not only because his Ebbey’s team overcame a slow start to defeat Seneca First Midwest Bank, 55-40, in the championship game.

Zumbahlen, an officer with the Morris Police Department, formed the first-year league at the behest of Ken Iverson, sports director at the local YMCA. Its eight-week regular season, played on Sundays, began Jan. 10.

On Sunday, the league staged a single-elimination tournament in the main gym at Morris Community High School.

Games consist of two 20-minute halves of full-court, 5-on-5 basketball with substitutions. Zumbahlen said he tried to fashion the league after the old Morris city cage league.

“I’ve been playing in a bunch of men’s leagues for 10-plus years so I had the gist of how they were run, so here we are,” Zumbahlen said. “It went pretty smooth. … Once you get kind of the basics, it basically runs itself.”

Players in the league range from their early 20s to middle-age and, in some cases, beyond.

Several were high-school standouts and some even played at the collegiate level, which could be seen in the nature of the games.

“It’s competitive. It’s a fun league, but it’s fairly competitive,” Zumbahlen said. “Everybody knows everybody has to turn around and go to work Monday morning, so we’re not trying to kill each other out there, but we’re playing competitively.”

During the tournament, the scoreboard was operated, two volunteer referees kept order and a trophy was presented to the champions.

Seven teams competed in the league this year. Zumbahlen says finding interest for the league was not difficult in spite of its fledgling status.

“Word of mouth got it out there, and before you know it, people were calling, ‘Hey, we wanna put a team together,’ ” Zumbahlen said. “It was pretty easy. There were a bunch of guys who wanted to play.”

According to Zumbahlen, enough players to form an additional team or two have already expressed interest in joining the league next season.

50 BOYS BASKETBALL CLASS 1A ILLINOIS STATE SUPERSECTIONAL: LEROY 58, NEWARK 50

Newark’s dream ends in supersectional loss to LeRoy

By CHRISTINE BOLIN–DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com

NORMAL – The Newark boys basketball team certainly was not ready for its season to come to a close March 8 at the Class 1A Illinois State Supersectional. The Norsemen had high expectations for a state run, but they ended up seeing their season come to a close against LeRoy. The Panthers won, 58-50, and advanced to the state tournament last weekend in Peoria.

Newark capped its year at 28-3.

“This is not how it’s supposed to end,” Newark senior Jack Clausel said.

“It was a great year, but (it’s unfortunate) that it’s over.”

The Norsemen played against, perhaps, the most talented player they have seen all season in Matt Chastain.

He scored 23 of his game-high 34 points in the first half alone for LeRoy (26-5).

“Obviously, (Chastain) is a very good player,” Newark coach Rick Tollefson said. “He’s incredible. He’s all he’s been built up to be. He was 9-for-10 in the first half – I don’t know if he’s always like that.”

Chastain finished 14 of 17 from the floor, including 4 of 6 from 3-point

first half was junior point guard Will Clausel picking up two uncharacteristic early fouls in the first quarter. He eventually fouled out in the middle of the fourth quarter.

“That was hard,” Tollefson said.

“Those two fouls dictated the game...it just changed the game. It was unfortunate. It was a real shocker.”

LeRoy led by as many as 17 twice in the first few minutes of the third before Newark went on a 10-2 run at the end of the quarter. After Cam Myre’s putback at the buzzer, the Panthers led, 40-31, entering the final frame. In the fourth quarter, the Panthers kept a comfortable distance. Free throws from Jack Clausel with less than 1:00 left reduced the lead to 55-50, but that was as close as Newark came.

“We just struggled to shoot. I thought in the second half we’d come Eric Miller – emiller@shawmedia.com back,” Tollefson said. “I give our kids a Wiil Clausel consoles his brother Jack after Newarks season ending loss to LeRoy on lot of credit for battling.”

Jack Clausel led Newark with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Fellow senior range. He also had a game-high 12 re- minutes into the second. That’s when Evan Schomer finished with 15 points bounds.

LeRoy outscored the Norsemen, 20-5, and five rebounds.

The Panthers led for most of the for the 34-19 halftime advantage going “We never quit,” Jack Clausel said. game. It was tied twice – at 14 at the into the break.

“We just worked so hard. It just didn’t end of the first quarter and at 16 two Newark’s biggest problem in the fall our way.”

BOYS BASKETBALL CLASS 4A LOCKPORT SECTIONAL SEMIFINAL: OSWEGO 55, MINOOKA 38

Historical Minooka boys’ season ends with sectional loss to Oswego

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – After winning its first Southwest Prairie Conference title and initial regional championship since 1977, Minooka’s boys basketball team hoped to keep its historic season going for a little while longer. But they ran into an Oswego squad in March 8’s Class 4A Lockport Sectional semifinals.

Oswego not only had lost twice to the Indians during the regular season, but also was as healthy as it’s been all season and was starting to perform well.

Minooka managed to grab a 20-19 halftime lead, but the Panthers took control by using a 19-6 edge in the third quarter to help them claim a 55-38 victory to advance to Friday’s 7 p.m. sectional championship against the winner of Wednesday’s Joliet Central-Joliet West game.

Oswego (19-9), which advanced to its first sectional final since 2010, led, 25-24, early in the third quarter when it used a 9-0 run to take control. Minooka (23-9), hoping to reach its first sectional final in decades, never got closer than eight points after that.

“They played great,” Indians coach Scott Tanaka said of the Panthers.

“They did a great job defensively and

Minooka lost in the sectional semifinal March 8 after winning its first regional title since 1977. they made big shots – that’s really the whole story. Once they got a lead, it made it difficult because they do such a great job of handling the ball and passing it, so it’s difficult to defend and come back on a team like that. We were hoping to execute a little bit better, but unfortunately we weren’t able to make shots, and they were.

“It’s an old saying that it’s really tough to beat a good team three times.

We had everything to lose and they had everything to gain. Credit goes to their guys since they played hard and tough. I thought we’d be able to wear them down, but they continued to make shots. This is a special group of guys, so I’m glad that they were able to get a lot

done. But we wanted and expected a lot more. My heart goes out to our 15 guys, because they gave me everything.”

Oswego got buckets from four different players during its key third-quarter run. Jaylen Jones (six points, seven rebounds) and Malique Ross (22 points) started things with jumpers, and Brice Robinson (14 points, seven rebounds) also hit a jumper before Jacob Niesman (five points) capped the spurt with a 3-pointer to make it 34-24 with 2:08 left in the period.

In the third quarter, the Panthers made good on 8-of-13 shots while the Indians were 3-of-10 from the field. Oswego owned a decisive 9-2 rebounding edge during that period to help it to a 28-18 advantage for the contest. The Panthers finished 20-of-34 (59 percent) from the floor, while Minooka wound up shooting 16-of-45 (36 percent) for the game.

Nick Clemmons (11 points) hit a 3-pointer early in the final quarter to pull the Indians to within 38-29. But then they went 3:50 without scoring. When Larry Roberts (six points) hit two free throws with 3:56 left, Minooka trailed, 44-31.

The Indians only collected seven field goals in the final half, but three came during the final 1:26.

VIEWS John Ringer had the original “Fab 5” including Bill Logan, Sharm Scheuerman, and Carl (Sugar) Cain.

Sugar Cain. What a name. You can have your Lourawls (Tum Tum) Narin. I had the image of Carl (Sugar) Cain on my Philco.

Back to that late Saturday night in 1963: As some of you know (and others may have heard but don’t really believe) it was the little-known Loyola of Chicago going against the two-time defending National Champion Cincinnati.

That night there were three reasons that I wasn’t there for the start of the 10:30 p.m. video tape delay replay: 1. I didn’t know it was going to be on TV. I’m not sure if anyone knew. It might have been a last minute deal.

2. Everything I read suggested it wouldn’t be a close game. Cincy in the late 1950s and early 1960s was the best college team on the planet. Or better.

Loyola? Well, they were like... like.... like Loyola. Of Chicago.

Cincinnati was expected to sell

them a set of encyclopedias and laugh all the way home.

And 3. Did I mention that she came on like a dream, she was peaches and cream with blah, blah, blah. Maybe that was reason number 1.

So here we were. Its 1963 and the NCAA National Championship is on TV for the first time. In tape delay form. And only the second half. Today, that seems a bit hard to imagine. In those days, the common school of thought was that no one cared about college basketball except the people who attended the two schools playing.

And it took five more years before the late Eddie Einhorn took a chance and arranged to produce and sell a mid season matchup between the “unbeatable” UCLA Bruins with Lou Alcindor and Houston with Elvin Hayes (and Don Chaney, Ken Spain, and Theotis Lee) from the Astrodome.

And, when the drama matched the hype, college basketball became a popular TV event.

Theotis Lee? A name nearly as sweet as Sugar Cain. Nearly.

Today, its hard to imagine sports without a March filled with wall to wall televised games. 68 teams. 67 games.

And every one of them available to watch. It has enough universal appeal

Continued from page 50 “The first time we played, we got them pretty good,” Clemmons said.

“And the second time, they just got Malique and Jaylen back and we thought it was going to be a pretty good game, and it was. This time around, Malique was as healthy as he could be and Jaylen was, too. All of their players played their hearts out and they just got us. I’ve been playing with these guys for four years and they’re my brothers. We’re one big family.”

The opening half was even, with Oswego owning a pair of five-point leads while Minooka had two late 3-point advantages. Clemmons scored eight of his 11 points in the first half while Joe Butler collected six of his eight points before the break. Jon Butler also had 11 points.

“We definitely should be proud of this season,” Joe Butler said. “I’m really proud of this group of guys and coach. We won our first regional title in almost 40 years, and we won our first conference championship in the SPC. This was a great senior season, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I loved playing basketball with these guys.”

“She came on like a dream. She was peaches and cream with lips like strawberry wine. She was 16. She was beautiful.” And... her daddy said she had to be home by midnight.

Thinking my Saturday night had come to an end, I turned the big Pontiac toward the family castle. As I approached the drawbridge, I noticed something peculiar. The Duke and Duchess weren’t known for late evenings, but a light was on in the parlor.

I suspected this may have been bad news, but I was wrong. They were watching an event (make that a landmark event) on television.

Hi, folks.

“Quiet. Shut up and sit down.”

What’s on TV? “The college basketball championship.”

At midnight?

“Its a replay of the second half.

They didn’t start it until after the news. Now, it’s in overtime. I thought I said to shut up and sit down.”

Before you judge me as a casual fan who didn’t know about the NCAA Final that night, be aware that I had spent my formative years listening to basketball on the radio. I have vivid memories of Iowa playing in the Final Four in 1955 and 1956 against Bill Russell’s San Francisco Dons. Iowa

As turkey season nears, practice your calls I sat scrolling through my Facebook feed last weekend and ran across a meme that describes the mindset of passionate hunters everywhere.

It referred to the dreaded “turn the clocks ahead” syndrome we face on that fateful Saturday before bed.

An image of a fist-pumping, excited toddler was highlighted by the text, “Set clock forward an hour . . . 60 minutes less till duck season!”

If you have ever dreamed of an upcoming season, whether it be for hunting, fishing, or maybe even kayaking and bird-watching, then this mindset hits home.

Sometimes we get so enthralled by the approaching date that we lose focus on other things.

One such date is almost here – turkey season.

April 11 marks the day that hunters in northern Illinois take to the spring woods and try to coax wily gobblers from their timbered haunts.

With less than a month until opening morning, turkey fanatics are rummaging through their vests and bags, preparing the equipment.

One critical piece of the puzzle is the turkey call.

Out of everything dragged into the woods, the call is the one item

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers that deserves our most careful attention.

The choice of a diaphragm call, friction call, or one of the many others on the market, is a personal choice.

The difference between great turkey callers and average ones is the attention to details.

Anyone can grab a call and cluck like a crazed lunatic. That technique seldom works.

Great callers pay attention to what real birds sound like and mimic, enhance and work toward having a conversation with them.

They pay attention to when and why a bird uses a sound.

I learned this firsthand one chilly April morning many seasons ago.

I sat along the edge of a thick oak stand with my breath puffing like a smokestack.

Frost on the ground chilled every ounce of my soul. The miserable cold was forgotten when that first gobbler struck off high in a treetop.

The adrenaline surged.

Over the next 30 minutes that tom and I conversed.

He lit up with a thunderous cry every time a called to him. I winked to my partner and told him we had this one in the bag. Little did I know.

That bird hit the ground and shut right up. I knew we were close because each time he sounded, I jumped out of my skin. The feathery stud uttered not a single cluck on the ground.

He most likely had a group of hens roosted near him and the party had started – without me.

Typical yelps failed. I resisted moving since and instead rifled through my mental file cabinet to determine what might work.

I remembered a time when I witnessed a group of hens get busted and scatter. Within a few minutes, they started softly clucking. To the untrained ear, the sounds were barely audible.

They then gathered back and moved on their way. The clucks were subtle location cues so they could find each other.

I figured it was worth a try. I slid a soft, cluck-cluck, across my slate call and waited a minute.

From behind me, that tom ripped off a gobble that nearly sent me to

my grave. The old ticker skipped a beat. I clucked once again, and he fired off one more time.

The eyes of my hunting partner stretched from ear-to-ear. Every nerve in his body tingled with excitement. I prepared myself for a close encounter.

Several more minutes passed, then I heard the telltale signs of turkeys moving through frosty leaves.

My eye caught movement from the far left.

That big tom and several hens circled around and were stepping right toward my line of fire.

A busted hunt turned out to be one of the most memorable I experienced.

The key was in the subtle details and responding to the birds, not forcing the birds to respond to me.

This season, prepare for the perfect hunt, but also prepare for the unexpected. Practice the sounds a turkey makes while you’re honing your calling skills.

You never know when you might need to dig deep into the bag of strategies and try something different.

Good luck this year.

Venture into the strata-sphere

By LINDA BASSETT More Content Now

Last week I cooked brunch for a unique class reunion. The party, scheduled for a Sunday morning, was held in a gracious apartment overlooking a large city park. Bowls of tiny daffodils bloomed on the windowsill laughing at snowflakes drifting through a pale yellow sky.

The guests of honor, all graduates of the same program, had never met although they had intersected in the learning environment. No, this wasn’t an online university. The guests, all babies no more than 5 months old, had graduated in utero. And now the parents decided to get them together.

The slightly sleep-deprived adults, thirty-something professionals, trickled in slowly that morning, toting the little ones in backpacks and car seats, each with a tale about the difficulties getting out of the house with all the right equipment. The babies, all firstborns, were spiffed up in their best outfits, which had been unwrapped at showers held months earlier. One little guy sported a gray cable cashmere “onesie” accessorized with coordinated bow tie, booties, and “binky” clip.

The parents were delighted to be in the company of people who spoke their new language. Conversations spun around pediatricians, growth, sleeping and eating schedules, processed vs. homemade baby food, and diaper contents. The babies generally preferred to ignore one another, instead napping, gurgling, waving their arms and sending the occasional gassy smile in no particular direction.

The only female baby in the group kept eyes firmly on daddy, who commented that she – or may he – was interviewing future prom dates. Nobody cried.

Meanwhile a brunch buffet kept the parents well fed and hydrated while doing the mom-and-dad pass off. I set up an array of goodies meant for easy self-service and designed to taste good either hot or at room temperature. No eggs Benedict of Bloody Marys for this crowd. Instead, a mixed fruit salad, a mixed green salad with a tangy dressing, a thick frittata, and a strata that incorporated all the breakfast essentials.

Sweet. Savory. Sausage. Ham. Eggs.

Cheese. Gallons of coffee and pitchers of juice, all iced, for the sake of safety.

Sweet or savory strata are good enough for any brunch, even without a baby in sight. Usually a strata is made with layers of sliced bread, the filling between each layer. I start mine with bread cubes, more in the spirit of a bread pudding. I still put down layers

Abby (Darby Stanchfield), meanwhile, begins to suspect Cyrus (Jeff Perry) is working a secret agenda.

8 p.m. on ) WGN The 100 “Wanheda: Part One” finds the main characters’ battles, following their arrival on Earth, supposedly over — but anyone who’s watched the show likely knows that won’t last long. Particularly threatened is Clarke (Eliza Taylor), who’s being chased by bounty hunters, but also sought by allies Bellamy and Kane (Bob Morley, Henry Ian Cusick).

Paige Turco, Isaiah Washington and Devon Bostick also star.

9 p.m. on _ WLS How to Get Away With Murder The drama wraps up its second season with “Anna Mae,” as Annalise (Viola Davis) decides she needs to get away from the various pressures that have been bearing down on her.

8 p.m. on ) WGN The Originals “Wild at Heart” finds Klaus (Joseph Morgan) preoccupied with problems on the homefront, leaving a reluctant Elijah (Daniel Gillies) to team up with Aja (guest star Tracy Ifeachor) after discovering that she may know of an elusive weapon that could permanently kill an Original vampire. Shunned by her coven, Davina (Danielle Campbell) receives a tempting offer that could bring her closer to reuniting with Kol. Phoebe Tonkin and Charles Michael Davis also star.

Nikki Reed and Shannyn Sossamon also star.

7:31 p.m. on _ WLS Dr. Ken Ken (Ken Jeong) is thrilled to be called to testify in a trial in the aptly titled new episode “Ken’s an Expert Witness,” but the plantiff’s lawyer (guest star Jim Rash, “Community”) does his own expert job in demolishing Ken’s credibility.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ Grimm Donning a mask can have a variety of effects, but the ones in the new episode “Silence of the Slams” are quite particular.

The Luchador facsimiles imbue their wearers with immense power, which has a pronounced effect on Wesen. Nick, Hank, Monroe and Rosalee (David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Bree Turner) try to halt the lethal results, while Capt.

Renard (Sasha Roiz) has a different priority.

Bitsie Tulloch and Claire Coffee also star.

Best Bets 7:30 p.m. on _ WLS NBA Basketball Western Conference Finals preview, anyone? The two best basketball teams on the planet get down to business tonight in the Lone Star State, where Kawhi Leonard and the Southwest Division-leading San Antonio Spurs play host to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the defending NBA champs and leaders in the Pacific. The Warriors won their first meeting with the Spurs in January in convincing fashion, 12090, behind Curry’s 37 points.

SUNDAY

2:30 p.m. on @ WFLD NASCAR Racing Brad Keselowski certainly has warm memories of Auto Club Speedway, home of today’s Auto Club 400. It was here on the 2-mile Southern California D-oval that he took advantage of a late-race four-tire call and subsequent pair of cautions to pull past polesitter Kurt Busch and register his first win of the season. He’ll be challenged today by a field including Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Joey Logano, Matt Kenseth and defending Sprint Cup champ Kyle Busch.

6 p.m. on _ WLS America’s Funniest Home Videos The actual holiday doesn’t arrive until next Sunday, but among the highlights of this new episode’s videos is a priceless one of a little girl who flees when the Easter Bunny tries to join her for a mall photo op.

A Chihuahua is similarly nonplussed when his owner dons a large Easter Bunny head.

Other segments include a medley of electric skateboard mishaps and a woman who catches her hubby laughing heartily in his sleep. Alfonso Ribeiro is the host.

6 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons Ah, the dangers of social media — and Marge (voice of Julie Kavner) isn’t the one to feel the consequences directly after some of her posting activity causes Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) to lose his job in “The Girl Code.” As he goes to washing dishes in a Greek restaurant, Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) is prompted by the situation to create a new app. Stephen Merchant and Kaitlin Olson (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) are guest voices.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors take on the San Antonio Spurs Saturday on ABC. 6:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade Ever wondered how the first Easter egg hunt came about? This new half-hour animated special offers some comic speculation. It all starts when Ethel (voice of Taraji P. Henson, “Empire”), a prehistoric bird, entrusts her precious egg to Sid (voice of John Leguizamo) and his new egg-sitting service.

Alas, the dastardly pirate bunny Squint (voice of Seth Green) gets revenge on Sid and his pals by stealing, camouflaging and hiding all the eggs.

Yolanda Adams and Michael W. Smith appear as well.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Good Wife After the grieving father (guest star Blair Underwood) of a shooting victim puts up a billboard that calls a gun store owner a murderer, the latter files a defamation suit against him in the new episode “Shoot.”

While Diane, Lucca and Carey (Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, Matt Czuchry) mount a defense, Alicia’s (Julianna Margulies) date with Jason (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is derailed by troubling news about Grace (Makenzie Vega). Matthew Morrison, Becky Ann Baker and Howard McGillin also guest star.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The Family The new “Feathers or Steel” finds Detective Meyer and Agent Clements (Margot Bingham, guest star Matthew Lawler) pursuing a child kidnapper whose method eerily resembles that of Adam’s (Liam James) abductor.

Elsewhere, Bridey (Floriana Lima) raises Willa’s (Alison Pill) suspicions when she catches Bridey prowling around the house uninvited. In a flashback, Claire (Joan Allen) tries to get Hank (Andrew McCarthy) to spill secrets about Adam’s kidnapping and makes a painful discovery about John (Rupert Graves).

8:30 p.m. on % WMAQ Crowded Mike (Patrick Warburton) is forced to grit his teeth and bear it when his stepbrother Ethan (guest star Clifford McGhee) comes to town and Bob (Stacy Keach) fawns all over the visitor, as usual.
