Regardless of the issue, get out and vote Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a political person. I prefer to live by the idea that people should refrain from talking about politics or religion, since both tend to do nothing but lead to arguments.

That said, though, an election year is upon us and, with it, a slew of campaign ads and media coverage. As your local newspaper, we aim to provide you – the voters – with as much information as possible on all sides so that you can make the most informed decision. We have stories about primary candidates in today’s edition, and will in the March 10 one, too.

Also, please check out MorrisHerald-News. com/election-central for more information, including candidates questionnaires, on local contested races you’ll find on the March 15 ballot.

That’s what I want to talk about today.

Making the decision. The most important decision most of us can make in today’s world is just to get out there and vote.

Many like to complain about whomever is in office, but the sad fact is that voter

VIEWS Rob Oesterle turnout is traditionally fairly low.

If you are a regular voter, good for you.

Please keep it up. Try to encourage those you know who don’t vote to join you. Make it an event. Go have lunch, then go vote. Or vice versa. Regardless, try to get as many people to the polls as you can.

Many people try to give the argument that one vote doesn’t really matter. It may feel like that, especially in the bigger elections for national offices. But, there also are plenty of issues and races locally where a few votes can make a world of difference.

We are brought up to believe that our vote makes a difference. I can’t tell you whether it will or not – but what I can tell you is that if you don’t vote at all, you no longer have the right to complain about

LOOKING UP

things that may not have gone the way you want them. The founders of this country gave you the right to put people in office who should have your best interest at heart and vote out those that don’t. And, the men and women in the armed forces have sacrificed in order to maintain that right for all of us.

If you don’t exercise that right every time there is an election, then think twice about complaining about those who are in office. You have a chance to change things.

If you don’t take it, there is no one else to blame. So do a little research. Read the papers. Watch TV. Listen to the radio. Check the Internet. Do whatever you need to do to get whatever information you need. In this information age, there is no excuse to not make an informed decision.

Just get out there and vote. It’s your right, and your privilege.

CAREER CHANGE

Brent Dite to retire as Morris police chief and teach full time at GAVC

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After 28 years at the Morris Police Department, Chief Brent Dite is about to make a career change.

He’s going to be a teacher.

“I’ve spent my whole adult life working for the Morris Police Department,” Dite said. “It will be different, but I think I have a lot to offer the students as the criminal justice instructor.”

Dite is expected to fulfill his duties as police chief through September, when he will retire from the department. In August, he will start his new career as a criminal justice instructor at Grundy Area Vocational Center.

Deputy Chief John Severson, who has worked with Dite his entire law enforcement career, said Dite is a great teacher.

“One thing I learned from the chief is to never wear loafers as a detective,” Severson said.

Severson said he and Dite were investigating a case as detectives when the suspect took off. Dite ran to the car, and Severson had to give chase on foot.

Dite laughed at the memory and said he thought the lesson was “always be the one closest to the car.”

“Selfishly, I don’t want him to [retire],” Severson said. “But he will be a great addition to GAVC, an asset to the school system.”

He said Dite’s leadership skills and the fact he is a well-respected community member will provide a great example for students.

Patrolman Derek Zumbahlen has known the chief his whole life, long before he knew he would be a police officer. He grew up as Dite’s next-door neighbor, with the two families sharing a driveway.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Morris Police Chief Brent Dite has experience with students as a former D.A.R.E. officer. He knows firsthand the positive impact he can have on students’ lives.

He said his respect for Dite isn’t just on a professional level, but also a personal level dating back to those days.

Working with teens is something Zumbahlen said he thinks Dite will be good at because he’s always exemplified fairness.

“He has a good moral character,” Zumbahlen said. “It all starts at the top, and then the trickle-down effect brings it out in the rest of us.”

Dite said his character and fairness are things he grew up with in Morris, something he expects to help him as an instructor.

“I know the history and culture of Morris. I’ve lived here my whole life,” he said.

GAVC Director Lance Copes said the center was looking for an instructor who was passionate and student-centered, and Dite is both.

“We’ve been lucky to have instruc-

tors with high levels of experience,” Copes said before the Feb. 25 meeting where the vote to hire Dite took place.

He said Dite brings knowledge of cutting-edge technology used in police work today, and is the perfect candidate for the job to show students how officers do their job in today’s technology-driven world.

Technology is one of the things

Canal Congress considers past, future of canal corridor

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – The I&M Canal State Trail – which stretches 61.5 miles from Rockdale to LaSalle – figures to see a boost in foot traffic as temperatures rise this month.

“The Congress is an event where the public can learn more about the projects and programs that are impacting their communities within the IMCNHA,” Koval said. “These activities are drawing more tourism to the region by improving historic sites’ storytelling, natural attractions and supporting and promoting small businesses.”

At the Congress people can meet and make connections with others interested in these same things. Also, the theme this year celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service, its activity in Illinois and preparation for the evolution of parks in the next century.

“There is also the opportunity to learn more about the different monuments, historic sites and national heritage areas in Illinois,” Koval said.

Channahon D-17 board considering abating taxes

CHANNAHON – The Channahon District 17 school board heard last week that the district continues to be in good financial shape, with surpluses expected each of the next five years.

The financial forecast was presented at the Feb. 22 meeting by PMA senior financial adviser Doreen Linderman.

Budgeted surpluses are predicted to be $3.4 million in fiscal 2016; $4.2 million in 2017; $3.8 million in 2018; $3.2 million in 2019; and $2.6 million in 2020.

District 17 has given several tax abatements over the last few years – for the purpose of lowering tax rates for property owners – including one for $200,660 in levy year 2006, $138,500 in 2009, $442,403 in 2012, $1.3 million in 2013 and $1.2 million in 2014.

In March, the board is set to consider reducing the 2015 levy by $420,000, plus the consumer price index, which would reduce what area property taxpayers would pay on the District 17 portion of their tax bills.

According to Chief School Business Official Mike Schroeder, reducing the levy below the limiting rate would save taxpayers that value on future levies in perpetuity. He also said if the board decides to give abatements, the district still will have “very healthy fund balances.”

Storm Education Night postponed because of weather

COAL CITY – In an ironic twist, the snowstorm predicted for the area Feb. 24 forced organizers to cancel the Storm Education Night in Coal City.

Danny Neal and Adam Lucio, owners of Illinois Storm Chasers LLC, who were scheduled to be the featured speakers, made the determination to postpone the event.

United Way of Grundy County Executive Director Karen Nall said the event will be rescheduled. It might not be until sometime in April, she said, because of the school’s musical and play schedule, as well as the availability of the speakers.

The 6/22 Long Term Recovery Committee of Grundy and Will Counties scheduled the “Storm Education Night” in response to needs of the community.

Minooka District 201 hires new assistant superintendent

Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media

Those who receive ComEd services might want to take a close look at their electricity bills this summer – and not just to see the amount due. The artwork of Channahon third-grader Caden Uphoff will appear on the back of electric bills of customers across the entire northern third of Illinois in July or August after he took first place in a ComEd contest. The win was celebrated last week at Pioneer Path School with an assembly led by the company, and Channahon District 17 school board members congratulated Uphoff at their Feb. 22 board meeting. Uphoff is the son of Channahon Junior High School Principal Chad Uphoff, and Katy Uphoff. His art teacher is Megan Verbic.

Stretch of Route 6 in Channahon closed after power lines downed MORRIS HERALD–NEWS CHANNAHON – Westbound Route between Channon Drive and Bluff Road in Channahon was closed for several hours last week because of an incident with downed power lines.

Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold said that at 10:45 a.m. Feb. 24, eastbound lanes had just opened up, as Channahon Public Works and ComEd were on the scene working to fix the downed lines.

Wold said power in central Chan-

nahon was expected to be out until about 11:30 a.m. – officials said ComEd worked to restore power by later in the morning.

Channahon police asked motorists to use alternate routes, and Route 6 reopened later in the day.

The incident occurred when a semitrailer struck a utility pole and hit the power lines.

There were no injuries in the single-vehicle crash.

Weather was not considered a factor in the crash at the time of the crash.

MINOOKA – Minooka School District 201 will see a new assistant superintendent as of July 1.

Stef Palinuk has announced his retirement from the district and, after several sets of interviews, Josh Ruland of Plainfield was chosen for the open position. The school board approved the new hire Feb. 24, with all board members voting in favor except Curt Jebens, who abstained because of a lack of involvement in the interview process, and Doug Martin, who was absent.

Ruland comes to District 201 from Indian Prairie School District 204 in Naperville, where he was curriculum director in the high school district for four years.

Before that, he worked for Manteno School District 5 as a K-12 curriculum director.

Minooka 201 will make another big change in the 2016-17 academic year, as the board voted, 5-1, with Jebens opposed and Martin absent, to hire two assistant principals for the four elementary schools: one assistant principal per two schools, because of the implementation of the Danielson Model of Teacher Evaluation Systems.

Morris man charged with having 30 bags of heroin

MORRIS – A traffic stop conducted last week in Morris resulted in the arrest of a man who police say had 30 bags of a substance suspected of being heroin.

About 2:30 p.m. Feb. 25 Gregory Mangrum, 62, of 130½ E. North St. in Morris, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance – heroin, following a traffic stop conducted in the 900 block of Union Street, according to a news release from the Morris Police Department.

Police recovered 30 bags, totaling 13.1 grams of a substance suspected of being heroin, according to the news release.

Mangrum was processed at the Morris Police Department and was later taken to the Grundy County Jail.

Verona man documents life of civil war veteran Hamilton Cobb Peterson 7 n WHAT: Walsh presents “The Sharpshooter” n WHEN: 6 p.m. Tuesday n WHERE: Morris Area Public Library, 604

Liberty St., Morris

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

William F. Walsh II sits with his book “The Sharpshooter” and copies of “A Texas Ranger”

by N.A. Jennings. for sale. Later, when he had retired and started digging into the life of Peterson, he returned to the antique dealer to try to purchase the letter again – but he was too late, as it already had been sold.

With the newspaper article and the envelope filled with other newspaper clippings, he set out on a journey to discover what he could about Peterson, and his book ,“The Sharpshooter,” was born.

Walsh isn’t the first author to write

the name of Hamilton Cobb Peterson, though. He was a significant portion of N.A. Jennings’ book “A Texas Ranger,” which chronicles the time that Jennings spent with Peterson in Laredo.

The mystery that stood out to Walsh was how Peterson, from the small town of Verona, ended up in Laredo, Texas, and was chronicled in a book that was written in 1899. The hunt for the truth led Walsh through historical archives and on a road

trip to Texas where he would uncover the life of Peterson.

“Hamilton Cobb Peterson was bigger than life,” Walsh said. “He was one of the best pistol shots in the Old West.”

The book chronicles his life from Verona, to a civil war hospital, to Morris, to Texas and ends in Verona. Some notable events in the life of Peterson: • He served in the Union in the Army 64th Illinois Infantry (Yates’ Sharpshooters) and was shot in General William T. Sherman’s March to the Sea. • He was a school teacher in Vienna Township, before Verona existed. He helped establish the first school for blacks in Texas with the U.S. Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands.

• After resigning from the Army, he returned to practicing law and served as county attorney in Webb County, Texas.

The book was self-published and Walsh hopes it will create interest in the untold portions of Peterson’s life. Walsh will share March 8 during a presentation at the Morris library the story of Peterson and how he tracked down the history.

MORRIS – An old writing desk sitting in the home of William Walsh II as he was growing up held a key to a mystery that would take Walsh across the country.

Inside a large manila envelope in a drawer of that old desk were historical documents and old newspaper clippings.

Walsh has compiled the information from that envelope, along with other historical documents to recreate the life of Hamilton Cobb Peterson, a Verona native who fought in the Civil War and went on to become the U.S. Commissioner for the Justice Department in Laredo, Texas – a career that even history professors weren’t aware existed.

“It was never my intent to be an author,” Walsh said. “It started with a newspaper article in the Morris Herald about a letter written by Peterson in 1865 that was found in a house in Morris.”

Walsh said when he read the article, the name Hamilton C. Peterson struck a familiar ring with him and he remembered the large manila envelope that held information on the man that had been passed down to his father in the estate of Ethel Claire (Peterson) Marlette, affectionately known as “Auntie.”

Too busy at the time with work to dig into the envelope, Walsh tried to purchase the found letter only to be told it wasn’t

Police come out ahead in Faculty vs. Fuzz game

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – The annual Morris Faculty vs. Fuzz charity basketball game usually is a fun event, but a well-kept secret played out in the beginning of the third quarter and took spectators – and even team members – by surprise.

Morris Police Chief Brent Dite, as usual, played it out on the court as a Fuzz team member, shooting baskets and playing defense against Morris Community High School staff for the first half of the game.

At halftime, however, Dite slipped out and changed into a Faculty uniform, which he wore for the second half of the game.

He and MCHS Assistant Principal Jeff Johnson had planned the surprise – a mid-game shift from one team to the other – as Dite accepted Thursday night a job as teacher for Grundy Area Vocational Center’s law enforcement classes, replacing the retiring Craig Williamson.

He will begin that position with the 2016-17 school year and plans on leaving the police department.

Dite smiled when asked about the surprise team switch halfway through the game.

“With the recent development,” Dite said during a third-quarter break, “I thought it would be the perfect time to do it at halftime.”

It was fun playing on both teams, he said, adding that as much as he has enjoyed working at the police department, he surely is going to enjoy working at GAVC, as well.

“We have such a good relationship with the school,” he said.

Dite scored well in the game, including the first shot scored after halftime –a 3-pointer for the teachers. The game is a fun one every year, he said, and is a friendly competition that goes back and forth with the score.

Grain bin entrapment a focus of drills Friday

“It’s good to have the proper equipment. These accidents don’t happen a lot, but it’s one of those things where time is of the essence when it does.”

A Coal City Fire Protection District firefighter practices a metal cut Friday that would assist in the extrication of an entrapped farmer.

But in this case, RescueVac Industries grain bin rescue kits were donated by the Will County Farm Bureau.

Director Mark Schneidewind said

much like anything else, grain bin rescue equipment has advanced.

The latest batch is much easier to maneuver deep in the quicksand-like environment of a full or partially full grain bin.

“It’s good to have the proper equipment,” Schneidewind said. “These accidents don’t happen a lot, but it’s one of those things where time is of the essence when it does.”

Firefighters performed a drill in which a dummy was buried in the partially full grain bin.

They used an auger to quickly disperse grain surrounding the dummy in hopes of extricating it. Channahon Fire Protection District Chief John Petrakis said accidents like this

do happen, and they can be deadly.

He once responded to a call where three teens got themselves stuck in grain, one atop the other two.

“It doesn’t take much to get stuck,” Petrakis said.

Designated technical responders also practiced various metal-cutting techniques in the event that a human was entrapped by a piece of farming equipment. The different structures and materials used in modern-day farming require an assortment of saws and cut types.

Farming accidents are rare, but the goal is to save a life. Boyle said new firefighters now often come from a college background whereas the more veteran firefighters came from a trade background. The evolution of the firefighting demographic makes it even more important to train first responders for these technical scenarios.

“There’s no college to be a technical rescuer,” Boyle said.

All training exercises allow technical rescuers to become certified to the Illinois State Fire Marshal Office’s specifications. Boyle said there are about 250 technical rescuers from the 40-something districts, many of which still are home to wide open farmland.

MANHATTAN – Farming equipment technology advances seemingly as fast as cellphones or TVs – but one thing remains the same: Farming can be a dangerous practice if someone fails to use proper precautions.

On Friday, select firefighters from the protection districts of Braidwood, Channahon, Coal City, Frankfort, Manhattan, Morris and Orland Park met at a Manhattan farm to practice technical response skills for a variety of farming mishaps.

The departments are just some of the 40-plus agencies in the Combined Agency Response Team, an organization of northeastern Illinois fire departments that united 20 years ago to provide equipment and personnel for technical rescue situations. CART does four to six technical rescue drills each year. On Friday, the focus solely was on farming.

“Illinois is No. 2 in the country in grain bin accidents,” CART Chairman Bruce Boyle said. “We train for these emergencies so we’ll be ready to go.”

Feb. 21 to 27 was National Grain Bin Safety Week, which seeks to prevent injuries and deaths that occur each year in grain bins. According to the Illinois Department of Labor, seven out of 10 grain bin accidents happen on family farms. Because farming and other technical accidents are more rare than fires, departments aren’t able to spend time on specific training for all firefighters.

Grundy, Will rescuers practice for farm accidents

Balkema is nominee for Grundy board D-2 vacancy

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Republican Central Committee announced its nomination of Chris Balkema for appointment as a County Board member to fill the vacancy in District 2, according to a committee news release.

Balkema, of Channahon, previously served four years on the Grundy County Board. If appointed, he would fill the vacancy left by the Chris resignation of David Balkema Nelson.

“I am eager to serve the residents of County Board District No. 2 and I am looking forward to returning as a member of the Grundy County Board,” Balkema said in the release.

Balkema is a graduate of Taylor University in Indiana and holds a master’s degree in business administration from Bradley University in Peoria.

“The Grundy County Republican Party is proud to nominate Chris

Balkema to fill the vacancy in office on the Grundy County Board created by the resignation of Mr. David Nelson,” Republican Central Committee Chairman Michael Mattingly said in the news release. “Mr. Balkema is another highly qualified person who is ready, willing and able to serve and hold public office. Chris has the expertise and the experience to fill the vacancy on the County Board and to assist with the resolution of issues pending before the board on day one in the office.”

Balkema also will be the Republican Party’s candidate for the County Board from District 2 in the November special election to select a person to fill the remaining two years of the vacated County Board seat.

The full board is set to consider the recommendation at its Tuesday meeting.

The board has 60 days from Nelson’s Feb. 1 resignation to fill the position by appointment of the board chairman with the board ’s advice and consent.

Because Nelson was a Republican, the position will be filled by a Republican.

She served as office manager for her family’s small business, totaling 10-plus years of experience in customer relations and accounting for a multimillion dollar budget. She’s managed and kept schedule for nearly 50 employees including payroll,

Trotter said if elected, she expected a short learning curve, but believes the office would be served better in the long run with a fresh set of eyes.

Though their backgrounds differ, a main point of both candidates’ campaigns has been the need to upgrade the circuit court’s technology. On Jan. 1, 2018, electronic filing will become mandatory in all Illinois circuit courts. Currently, 15 of 102 counties in Illinois do electronic filing,

The Republican primary election March 15 for Grundy County Circuit Clerk is a battle between a veteran of the clerk’s office and a veteran of both public and private offices.

Karen Broncato, of Coal City, and Corri Trotter, of Morris, are competing to 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.

Broncato, the current chief deputy circuit clerk, immediately announced her intention to run for the seat. A few days later, Trotter – the principal’s secretary at Morris Community High School – announced her intention to run. The winner will face in the November general election Joan Harrop of Morris, who filed as the only Democratic candidate.

When campaigning to voters, Broncato said she’s shared her experience in the clerk’s office as the biggest reason one should vote for her. Brancato was hired by former Circuit Clerk Rose Marie Bell in 1994 and put in charge of child support, where she recorded and annually distributed millions of dollars. Since then, she’s learned the Circuit Clerk’s office inside and out.

Brancato said.

On Grundy County’s judici site, summaries and dates are accessible, but actual court documents are not. Broncato said the court’s relationship with its vendor, www.judici.com, is strong and expects to complete e-filing upgrades prior to the state’s mandate. She’s also considering other vendors and will seek to make the transition smooth and at the least cost to taxpayers.

Trotter said one of her main priorities is to use technology to create a seamless connection between the courts and those utilizing the courts, noting that neighboring counties use more technology.

Additionally, Trotter has experience overseeing a technological transition.

Prior to the 2015-16 school year, Morris High School implemented online student registration.

Away from work, Trotter is a lifelong resident of Morris who graduated from Morris Community High School. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Eastern Illinois University. She and her husband, Dave, have two daughters.

Broncato is a lifelong resident of Grundy County and graduated from Morris Community High School. She and her husband, John, have lived in Coal City for the past 27 years where they raised three daughters. She is a grandmother to four grandchildren.

Two Democrats seek nomination for state’s attorney

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

Brooke Shupe

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Two attorneys are seeking the Democratic nomination in the March 15 primary for the office of the Grundy County state’s attorney.

Brooke Shupe of Frankfort and Elizabeth Johnson of Morris are vying for the opportunity to face Republican incumbent Jason Helland in the November general election.

Shupe is employed as a Cook County assistant state’s attorney, where she has worked the past four years prosecuting criminal and DUI cases.

She said it her duty to serve the community and to keep it safe, and said as a prosecutor she has extensive trial experience.

“What is important to me is having someone with vested interest in the community serving it,” Shupe said. “I believe I am the most competent person for the position.”

Shupe said in addition to her criminal trial experience, she also has experience in civil law, including working in the child support enforcement division at the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

She said she understands the position of state’s attorney is more than trying cases, and said it is important to work with the county board.

“As state’s attorney, I will be at each meeting and take an active role,” she said.

Shupe said her stance on drugs is to have an aggressive prosecution against drug dealers.

“I have experienced firsthand the loss of a very close loved one to drug addiction. Keeping drugs out of our community is personal to me,” she said in a written response. “As a career prosecutor, I have the knowledge and skills to address this problem. I aggressively prosecute. I do not plea bargain cases to avoid trial.

I am not afraid to try a case and know how to prosecute cases effectively to ensure our community’s safety.”

She said during a phone interview that she believes diversion courts are

an efficient way to ensure the health and safety of the community and she believes the drug court and mental health court in Grundy County are a key component in the fight on drugs.

“Diversion courts are heavily utilized in many counties, and I think veteran court is another diversion court that could benefit the community,” Shupe said. “For the offenders who qualify, it’s very important.”

She said she also believes in strict penalties for those involved in drug court who do not comply.

When asked about experience dealing with a nearly $1 million budget that the Grundy County State’s

Attorney’s Office handles annually, she said, like most who are elected into the role, doesn’t have firsthand experience but she believes she has the necessary tools to do it successfully.

“Government budgets are the wise allocation of scarce resources,” she said. “It will be my job to make sure the allocation is done properly.”

She said like her constituents, she has to budget daily while running a household with her husband, Joel, and two children.

Elizabeth Johnson did not respond to repeated attempts of contact through phone calls and email.

ST. LOUIS – Last year, 3,100 working individuals and families in Grundy County received almost $7 million in Earned Income Tax Credits, with an average of $2,245 amount received.

The EITC was created in 1975 as a work incentive and last year was worth more than $2.5 billion to more than a million individuals and families in Illinois, according to a news release from the IRS. The IRS estimates that four out of five eligible taxpayers claim this tax credit, but some do not because they are unaware of the EITC or they don’t know how to claim it.

To make it easier to determine eligibility for this credit, the IRS has a self-help tool, the EITC Assistant at irs.gov.

The program answers questions about eligibility, filing status, qualifying children and credit amount. It also is available in Spanish.

GRUNDY COUNTY – The demographic of the Mazon-Verona-Kinsman area has changed in a subtle but important way.

Tamara Halterman, organizer of the potential new MVK Rescue Squad District, said at one time the area’s volunteer first responders owned, operated or worked in businesses in municipalities.

Now, volunteer first responders work elsewhere at their day jobs and rarely are available between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Because of the change, Halterman said, the MVK area is in desperate need of an ambulance rescue district. Patients have to wait for Dwight, Seneca or Morris.

“Most everyone works outside of town,” Halterman said. “Our population is a bit older and needs the help. The response time would be much less if we can get this going.”

The district would serve ambulance calls for an area of 90 square miles that includes Mazon, Verona and Kinsman as well as Goodfarm, Highland and a portion of Erienna townships. This area is served

Interstate 80 AMBUCS helps people with disabilities If you go

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com GRUNDY COUNTY – The warmer weather this spring will bring with it several outdoor activities.

But for some, those activities are more difficult to take part in.

The Interstate 80 AMBUCS chapter, a nonprofit based in Seneca, wants to change that with its upcoming 2016 Spring Roundup. From 4 to 6 p.m. March 10, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Peru, the I-80 AMBUCS will host the annual therapeutic tricycle fitting event for people with disabilities.

“As a nonprofit, we’re doing this to see kids smile and bring mobility to the area,” I-80 AMBUCS’ Rob Swon said.

A professional therapist will be onsite to determine what type of tricycle is needed for each person. Unfortunately, in some cases, the therapist may determine an individual is incapable of using the tricycle. Most, if not all, of the children or adults being fitted will never operate a motor vehicle, Swon said. The tricycles open doors for people with disabilities.

The Amtryke, a fully-adjustable therapeutic three-wheeler designed by therapists, give the best ride to those with disabilities by utilizing stability and control with safety in mind, Swon said.

Thrivent Financial donates to PADS

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County chapter of Thrivent Financial – which represents volunteers at Grace Lutheran Church, Friends in Christ Lutheran Church, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, and Peace Lutheran Church – has donated $1,000 to Grundy Area Public Action to Deliver Sustenance shelters.

“The donation represents seed money for PADS projects to provide a permanent location for sheltering,” Judy Stemen said in a news release from Thrivent Financial.

Grundy Area PADS Board President Tom Hardman said the organization has been looking at permanent sheltering options within the community.

He said the organization isn’t certain how much money it will take to create a permanent home.

“We aren’t sure of the exact dollar amount, I’m guessing between $100,000 and $200,000,” Hardman said.

Stemen said Thrivent Financial wanted to set an example and to encourage other businesses, service organizations, private individuals and churches to offer similar donations to get the project started.

Numbers at the overnight shelter have increased this year. Hardman said the shelters, which are hosted by various churches in Morris, recently have seen as many as 19 people in one night.

Permanent shelter would provide beds, showers, lockers, and less confusion of where to go each night, according to a press release provided by Stemen.

It would also provide consistency in shelter organization and coordination of volunteers she said.

The shelter is open from October through April to provide shelter to area homeless during the winter months.

Meddling mink activist to serve 3 years in prison for Morris incident SHAW MEDIA MORRIS – A man who in 2013 vandalized a rural Morris farm and released more than 2,000 mink from their cages was sentenced Monday to three years in federal prison.

Kevin Johnson, 28, of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty last year to one count of conspiring to travel in interstate commerce with the purpose of damaging an animal enterprise, according to a United

States Attorney’s Office Northern District of Illinois news release.

Johnson’s accomplice, Tyler Lang, 26, also of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty last year to the same charge as Johnson. Lang is scheduled to be sentenced March 23.

After the mink were released Aug. 14, 2013, from the farm, located northwest of town at 1875 W. Nelson Road, the men spray-painted a barn with the words, “Liberation is Love” and poured an acidic substance over two trucks on the prop-

erty.

“Johnson vandalized a small, family-owned business, forcing it to close its doors,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Bethany K. Biesenthal argued in the government’s sentencing memorandum. “While his intentions are noble, his tactics are not.”

About 1,600 of the mink were rounded up by farm owners and law enforcement, but the rest escaped the property through fencing the men had altered and either died or were not found. Johnson

and Lang destroyed cards from cages that identified the breed of each animal, making it impossible to determine the breed of the recovered minks, the United States Attorney’s Office release stated.

According to Morris Herald-News archives, the incident was part of an apparent activism spree.

Prosecutors alleged in Oct. 14 in an 11page court filing the two drove through Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois in August 2013 with plans to damage animal farms.

MORRIS – The Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area, which was purchased by the state of Illinois in 1969, may see an artistic and informational upgrade this year if a fundraising effort is successful.

Goose Lake Prairie Partners, the volunteer group supporting the activities at Grundy County’s most famous state park, are planning to do a major art project in the park’s visitor center.

“We find that a lot of people don’t know the history of the area,” Mural Chairman Chuck Johnson said. “We’re also amazed when people from all over the world come to the park.”

The Partners are looking for help in

funding the large, educational mural that will chronicle changes in the park area from the glacier that caused the area’s topographic features to present day. The purpose of the mural is geographical, historical and cultural.

The mural will be on seven 4-footby-8-foot sheets of plywood mounted on a support system that will allow them to be removed when necessary. From left to right, it would depict the glacier, mega fauna – such as mammoths and giant sloths, hunting and gathering, semi-permanent housing and farming, the first Europeans – Marquette and Joliet, later settlers, the I&M Canal and small communities, the Jugtown clay pipe business and deepening of the Illinois River. It will finish with power stations and other industry that now anchor the region.

“Each of the different phases will be on its own panel,” Johnson said. “People depicted in the mural will also dress indicative of that time.”

The Partners expect the mural to boost visitor numbers permanently as it educates with a pictorial history to

Fire Protection District plans for 1,000 properties

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District announced Tuesday an initiative to assess the properties of about 1,000 businesses within its district during the next three to five years. The ultimate goal is to protect lives and property.

“This is something we know we need to do,” Morris Fire District Capt.

Jeff Wilson said. “We know we need to get better in this area.”

During 2015, the Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District responded to 5,500 fire or EMS calls, according to a news release. The call volume increases annually and the district expects the call volume to increase again in 2016.

But a potential problem arises when first responders are unaware of the inner workings of a building or structure. It can lead to the loss of life and property the district is responsible for.

To help prevent this from happening, the agency intends on assessing the approximate 1,000 businesses and

commercial buildings in Morris. Wilson stressed that “pre-plans” are not a fire or building inspections, but another tool first responders can use to keep residents safe.

“It’s not us being nosy, we just want to know where vital parts are in a building,” Wilson said. “This includes elevators, stairwells, walls, special needs equipment, and so on.”

Wilson said it’s also important to know how many people can be expected in a building at any given time. He said this was further enforced by the Diamond and Coal City tornadoes.

“When we arrive, it helps to know if we’re looking for six people or 60,” he said.

A small team has been assigned to the pre-plans. The information is not open to the public and if the district has to come to a property, the commander will have access to the building layout on an electronic tablet.

The district started this week with two small businesses and will continue with small buildings until a comfort level is reached to progress to big assessments, such as nursing homes and schools, he said.

Grundy County land use committee reviews electronic recycling contract

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Land Use Committee unanimously agreed at its meeting last week to send a contract with New Life Electronics to the full board for recycling of electronic waste.

Electronic recycling is part of the county’s Solid Waste Plan adopted in September 2014.

At the time the plan was instituted, on average each resident in Grundy County was producing about 4.5 pounds of waste daily, which totaled 44,601 tons of garbage annually.

Only about 14 percent of that garbage was being recycled, a number Land Use Director Heidi Miller wanted to be at 25 percent or more.

Miller said the county doesn’t have the 2015 numbers in yet, but she hopes to see an improvement.

As part of the initial waste plan, the county established special recycling programs to handle electronics, tires, and other materials such as paint.

The New Life Electronics contract shows an additional cost to the county for the recycling of electronics from 7

cents per pound to 9 cents per pound.

“The CRT glass used on televisions costs the E-recyclers more to recycle, so the cost goes up,” Miller said.

“Some counties pay hundreds a month or 20 cents per pound, so I consider us lucky.”

Miller said the City of Morris committed to paying for the first event, which is scheduled for April 16 at Envirotech Landfill in Morris.

Miller said the maximum of one television per vehicle will be strictly enforced and identification will be required to show that the person recycling the television is a resident of Grundy County.

The committee also approved the 2016 Grundy County Green Guide, which advises residents how to dispose of items such as cellular phones, batteries and eyeglasses.

The document has been updated with current information and Miller said the county included a page that lists all events that are scheduled to take place in 2016.

The document will be placed on the Grundy County website and copies will be distributed free to municipalities and residents.

Preview of Prom Fashions Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – In the annual Family Career & Community Leaders of America Prom Show, students at Morris Community High School presented the hottest prom fashions to parents and students. The annual event is completely organized by the students in FCCLA, from writing the skits and performing music to dressing to dazzle.

Tuxedos were donated by Sklut’s Menswear, while the girls modeled dresses owned by themselves or other students.

Several of the dresses were also offered for sale to anyone attending the event. Money from ticket sales and a percentage of prom dress sales will be used to help Morris Community High School students who may not be able to afford prom and the associated costs.

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – A study session of the Coal City Community Unit School District 1 Board last week explored options on two potential construction projects.

The first project discussed was regarding possible Coal City High School athletic stadium renovations that have been in consideration for several months, District 1 Superintendent Kent Bugg said Friday. The board used a focus group to find a variety of options.

“The board is determining what needs to be in place for the next 20 years,” Bugg said.

As the Feb. 24 meeting was a study session, the board didn’t take any action.

But Bugg said it appears the board has reached agreement in principle on a three-phase project to bolster the high school’s stadium grounds.

The project would include repair of concrete and fencing around the track and field, which has become a safety issue. Improvements to home-side seating, restrooms and concessions are also in consideration.

“Costs were not discussed,” Bugg said. “But finding revised costs on these projects is the next step.”

A short walk away from the football stadium is the baseball stadium, which received the brunt of damage from the EF3 tornado that struck June 22. Bugg said bids will be sought for improving the grounds around the field that still need work.

The board then discussed options to improve District 1’s office arrangements. The topic has been considered for about 10 years by the board, but this group of board members appear committed to making improvements, Bugg said.

The district office consists of two former kindergarten classrooms and is not large enough for the entire district staff.

There is no conference room, which leads to a lack of privacy when people come in to talk about personnel issues, Bugg said.

The board at one point considered having a new facility built, but bids came back high. Options discussed last week included a possibly contracting with a company for a pre-fabricated building or find a lease-to-own property.

STAFF REPORTS MORRIS – Patriot 4 Heroes will begin its Spring Veterans Food Drive on Friday. The drive will run through March 18. Patriots 4 Heroes asks for the community’s assistance in collecting nonperishable food items, paper goods and hygiene products to fill bags for veteran families in need.

To help fill the boxes, Patriots is asking for the public’s assistance.

Businesses, schools, faith-based organizations and other community groups are encouraged to organize food drives throughout the two weeks. Items for the Veterans Food Drive must be received by March 18.

BUSINESS Chamber invites all to State of the Village addresses Send your business news to news@morrisherald-news.com.

CHANNAHON – Knowledge is power and knowing what is happening in the town where your business is located, as well as the surrounding communities, makes you a prepared business person and a leader.

The upcoming State of the Village addresses hosted by the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry in partnership with Channahon and Minooka offer both the business community and residents an opportunity to get the latest information on village departments, services, programs, local businesses and future development plans.

From 8 to 10 a.m. March 16 at the Four Rivers Environmental Education Center, 25055 W. Walnut Lane in Channahon, Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher will give her first State of the Village address.

During the breakfast she will detail what steps the village has taken and will take to become a more “engaged and evolving community.”

From infrastructure improvements currently underway and business development initiatives, to taking a more active approach in partnering with the education community, Schumacher is excited to share her vision for the future of Channahon.

Again this year Channahon also will recognize members of the community who have gone above and beyond with its annual Citizen of the Year, Business of the Year and Police Officer of the Year awards.

Next month we will hear the latest

Annually Brennan gives a tour of the village’s accomplishments in the last year as well as highlights what residents can look forward to in 2016.

He will give the latest statistics on Minooka’s crime rate once again illustrating the Minooka Police Department’s high standards for the safety of its residents.

We also look forward to an update on the progress of Minooka’s bike and walking path that Mayor Brennan and village officials have worked tirelessly for.

As business owners, managers and employees it is our job to know where a competitor may be locating or how a tax increase may affect our pricing. But it also is our responsibility to know how a neighboring town’s interchange construction may impact local traffic, what our village’s plans are for protecting natural resources or what efforts are being made to control residential growth.

Why does the business community need to be in the know? If you aren’t in

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Morris Herald-News / MorrisHerald-News.com • Thursday, March 3, 2016 *

A name from the past has been leading the charge for Jason Gonzales’ Democratic primary campaign against Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.

Blair Hull, the hugely wealthy but unsuccessful 2004 Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, directly accounts for $100,000 of the $300,000 which the Illinois United for Change PAC has raised since late January (and maybe double that, because it’s unclear who controls a company responsible for another $100,000). The independent expenditure committee has so far reported spending money only on Gonzales. I was able to reach Hull through an intermediary to ask him why he decided to get involved against his fellow Democrat Madigan in the primary. He would only communicate by email, and didn’t respond to a follow-up question.

Madigan, Hull said, “is not a team player.” Madigan “does not cooperate well with others,” and gave as an example Madigan’s lone refusal out of all 50 state party chairmen to work with the national party on sharing voter information. Madigan, Hull said, “wanted to control the voter file because he wanted to control who was elected in the state of Illinois.

“This lack of cooperation and teamwork has led to the dismal condition of our state today,” Hull claimed. “I believe the state of Illinois and the Legislature would be improved significantly without Michael Madigan.”

And with that, he politely signed off, saying he hoped what he said was helpful and looked forward to “speaking with you after March 16.” So, that’s that until after the March 15 primary.

So far, Illinois United for Change has sent three mailers that have all said positive stuff about Gonzales. It’s widely expected that the group will go negative on Madigan soon, perhaps even by the time you read this.

Is it possible that Madigan could actually lose? Well, the speaker appears to be working his district like that very thing could happen, which means he’s leaving no stone unturned. His own polling reportedly shows him ahead by a 6-1 margin, but everybody is operating under the assumption that respondents may not be telling the truth.

Madigan has unleashed the hounds on Gonzales, dredging up some long ago

VIEWS Rich Miller arrests and a felony conviction and even finding a letter from Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez that strongly argued against a gubernatorial pardon, which Gonzales eventually received. Gonzales’ campaign originally claimed Madigan had “lied” and the Alvarez quote was “faked,” but relented when I showed them the actual letter.

Four years ago, Madigan was challenged by another Latino candidate who was trumpeted by some in the media as a possible winner because his district is dominated by Latino-Americans. Madigan ended up winning that race by a huge margin. Gonzales is different, though, because the Latino candidate has far more money than anybody has had against Madigan.

Madigan’s massive political organization backed Mayor Rahm Emanuel last year, and in the runoff Emanuel received 56 percent in Madigan’s 13th Ward to Cook County Commissioner Chuy Garcia’s 44 percent, which clearly shows that the ward’s Latino voters can be convinced to vote for a white incumbent against a credible Latino opponent.

Much of Gonzales’ money is coming from folks who backed Gov. Bruce Rauner’s campaign, including Hull, who told the Sun-Times in 2014 that he contributed to Rauner because “I admire wealthy people who want to serve. … People who are wealthy can really do what they believe, they can push for the right reforms.”

Rauner is horribly unpopular in Chicago and among suburban Democrats, so it’s difficult to see how Gonzales can pull this off if Madigan continues the attack by tying Gonzales to the Republican governor. It’s not a huge stretch to suggest, for some Democrats, that’s almost as bad as a felony conviction – and maybe worse in some households. I suppose stranger things have happened, though, which is what is pushing Madigan so hard.

• Rich Miller also publishes Capitol Fax, a daily political newsletter, and CapitolFax.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A bailout has not been proposed for Chicago Public Schools

To the Editor: I read state Rep. Kate Cloonen’s letter to the editor in the Feb. 24 edition of The Herald-News with great surprise. As the primary sponsor behind legislation that would have provided Chicago Public Schools with the financial flexibility, oversight and accountability to begin earning back the trust of the taxpayers, I find her assertions devoid of facts.

To be clear, Gov. Bruce Rauner has not proposed a bailout. Our proposals encompass the same mandated financial oversight and elected school board requirements that every other school in Illinois adheres to, except Chicago.

In addition, given their dire financial situation, Gov. Rauner suggested allowing Chicago Public Schools to explore financial options similar to those encompassed by municipal bankruptcy.

None of these proposals would cost

Illinois taxpayers a dime.

Compare this with the demands of Rep. Cloonen, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, who all now have publicly rejected the governor’s call to protect Illinois taxpayers from Chicago’s relentless demands.

Cullerton went so far as to call on Illinois Democrats to hold hostage the upcoming K-12 education budget until Chicago schools receive $500 million in additional dollars, with no strings attached.

Where’s Rep. Cloonen’s call to reject Sen. Cullerton’s proposal?

I highly doubt we’ll ever see it – because, at the end of the day, she stands with them in their efforts to bail out Chicago schools.

John Michael Talbot brings message to Morris

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For three nights, the pews at Immaculate Conception Church in Morris were filled with music lovers who came to hear the music of John Michael Talbot, a pioneer in contemporary Christian music and former guitarist for Mason Proffit, a country folk-rock band in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

What those music lovers got was a revival.

Talbot, who is now an author, television host and minister, has been touring the country “one parish at a time, and renewing hearts one life at a time.”

“Catholics want to want revival,” he said in an interview after his third and final show Friday night. “They know they need it; they have to be willing to do the change.”

Talbot travels from church to church, performing 150 concerts last year with 120 scheduled for this year, a more rigorous schedule that he is accustomed to.

Born a Methodist, Talbot dropped out of high school and with his brother formed Mason Proffit, opening for acts such as The Doobie Brothers and John

“It was so enlightening,” Doug Cotter of Morris said. “It brings a renewal of our spiritual awareness.”

Cotter attended the three evenings with his mother, LaRae Cotter, who said she knew Talbot’s music and the three-night event was everything she expected and more.

Doug Cotter said the event inspired attendees to think about receiving the Eucharist, and not just go through the motions with familiarity.

Talbot touched on politics, used movie plots to explain his message and sang songs that had those attending lifting their hands in the air and singing along.

When asked why he chooses to live life on the road, in a van, in hotel rooms, constantly moving as he spreads the message, Talbot said he’s doing it because God told him to.

“God gave me the opportunity to live Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com The Rev. Ed Howe and John Michael Talbot sing Amen at Talbot’s performance Friday night. in a monastery for five years in solitude,” he said. “I changed there. Then Denver.

Work pays off for Trader, Morris speech team

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For the first time in school history, the Morris speech team won a sectional competition and advanced to the state meet.

The team was honored Feb. 25 at a public ceremony, where coach Andrea Gustafson extolled the team’s talent and hard work.

It’s a long season, as the team begins its preparations at the end of October before entering its first competition in December.

They then go through nearly three months of competitions, generally meeting at the school before sunrise Saturday mornings and boarding a bus to suburban schools in order to perform all day.

Unlike IHSA athletic competitions, the speech competition is not broken down into classes based on enrollment, meaning that every school in the state is eligible for competition. That makes winning a sectional a lot tougher for a school the size of Morris.

“We have 61 team members,” Gustafson said. “We have 12 seniors and 17 juniors and the rest are underclassmen. The future looks bright with that many younger kids coming through and them seeing all the hard work it takes to win a sectional, and they have seen that hard work pay off, so they know it’s possible.”

Junior Emily Trader won a sixthplace medal for her poetic interpretation of “My Body is not an Apology,” and performed a courageous, powerful reading of it to the crowd.

It dealt with body issues and the ex-

It especially takes aim at Disney for releasing an action figure of the full-figured Ursula of “The Little Mermaid” as a size 0.

“When Emily started out as a freshman, she was so quiet,” Gustafson said.

“Every year, I tell the kids if they want to go watch the state meet, I will take them. Her freshman year, Emily was the only one that went. She watched the poetry competition and said, ‘That’s what I am going to do. I am go-

ing to go to state and compete in that competition.’

“She has worked hard at it ever since, and it’s so gratifying to see all that work end up with a medal this year.”

Taking on a subject that might be a bit controversial wasn’t a big deal for Trader.

“Being able to do this has given me confidence,” Trader said. “And it has given me the strength to prove that I can change the way people see me, that I am more than what you see.”

LyondellBasell sponsors Fill-the-Pantry program SUBMITTED REPORT

MORRIS – LyondellBasell sponsored the Feb. 26 Fill-the Pantry for We Care and stocked the pantry shelves.

LyondellBasell provides support to We Care in numerous ways, including providing funds and volunteers for multiple Fill-the-Pantries per year, company food drives and grants.

In 2015, LyondellBasell gave a grant to help with the installation of We Care’s new walk-in refrigerator and freezer, which has been an important addition to the pantry program. Support from organizations such as LyondellBasell is vital to We Care’s programs and ability to help out Grundy residents in need.

The additional support that has been given to the Fill-the-Pantry program beginning in January has made it possible for We Care to keep its selves fully stocked and even have some back stock in both the walk-in refrigerator and freezer as well as on shelves in a back storage area.

We Care has increased the delivery schedule from one food truck per month to two in order to meet the needs of struggling folks in Grundy County. Since the pantry expansion began in January, more than 50 new families from outside of Morris have used the service. The new

LyondellBasell has been involved with the Fill-the-Pantry for numerous years and comes to We Care with a full crew of seasoned employees that spring into action as soon as the truck arrives

and have the shelves stocked and boxes broken down in record time.

“Our employees consistently donate their time and money to support We Care, including their ‘Fill the Pantry’ initiative,” said Brent Connett, LyondellBasell public relations manager.

“This type of support from our employees shows how committed they are to helping this great organization fight hunger in our community.”

We Care would like to express its appreciation for LyondellBasell ‘s continuing support. We Care relies on help and support from Grundy County businesses, churches and organization to provide help to Grundy residents in need. Without support of organizations such as LyondellBasell, We Care would not be able to do what it does.

The March Fill the Pantry sponsors will be Immaculate Conception School and Living Water Church.

We Care is a local nonprofit agency that provides emergency assistance to Grundy County residents in the form of food, clothing, rent, utility and prescription assistance. We Care is a United Way partner agency and is funded primarily by private donations. We Care is located at 530 Bedford Road in Morris.

Morris Hospital sponsors We Care’s February Mobile Pantry SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – The February Mobile Pantry was recently sponsored by Morris Hospital. Due to the cold weather, the event took place at the We Care building at 530 Bedford Road in Morris.

Folks who came for the pantry were able to go through the clothes closet while they waited in line. We Care is very appreciative for organizations such as Morris Hospital that provide support in numerous ways throughout the year, including sponsoring and providing volunteers for the Mobile Pantries.

At the event, 138 people were served from a delivery of 6,980 pounds of food.

Each household received about 50 pounds of food, which included pudding mix, green beans, Uncle Ben’s rice cups, fresh strawberries, assorted meats, fresh potatoes, Oscar Meyer chicken and ham, Kashi Go Lean Cereal, assorted Kraft foods, Bumble Bee Tuna Salad Kit with Crackers, Whole Kernel Southwest Corn with poblano red peppers, Green Giant Steamers Spinach and brioche buns.

“It feels nice to be able to do good things for people,” said Alyssa Knoderer of Morris Hospital, “and spend time with your co-workers at the same time, helping people who have less that we do.”

SUBMITTED REPORT The Chanooka Kiwanis Club, a community service-based organization focused on children of the world, had the opportunity to have two special guests at their February meeting, Kim Bavilacqua and Jen Coffel from Handing H.O.P.E. Handing H.O.P.E., a nonprofit organization, provides lollipop trees to children’s cancer centers.

They also provide financial assistance to cancer patients and host wellness workshops.

Their Lolllipop Tree Project provides lollipops to children who are undergoing chemotherapy. The treatment literally leaves a bad taste in their mouths. After chemo the lollipop

is a special sweet treat for the children.

Since studies show that sugar can contribute to feeding cancer and sugar-free sweeteners are known to cause cancer, these special lollipops are made by a company that uses a plantbased safe sweetener.

These special lollipops can be pricey; Kim and Jen are raising money to have a lollipop tree in every children’s cancer treatment center nationwide.

Opening Up to the Community SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – As the weather warms, the Grundy County Health Department is looking forward to its third year of GROWS garden.

In the 2016 GROWS (Grundy Resource of Opportunity for Wellness and Sustainability) garden growing year the health department will reinforce the GROWS community garden by installing six more raised garden beds.

This year the garden beds will be made available to county residents to grow their own fresh produce. Donation costs for a box is $25 for the season, which covers the cost of wa-

ter, box maintenance and yard waste bags. A master gardener will also be available to answer questions.

Boxes are limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.

SUBMITTED REPORT

BRAIDWOOD – Will County Board members Don Gould, R-Shorewood, and Ragan Freitag, R-Wilmington, answered the call of Braidwood police to help improve public safety and increase transparency by making a donation to fund body cameras.

The department has asked local residents for help to offset the cost to equip its 17 officers.

“This is a very worthwhile project, and I am glad to support Braidwood police,” Gould said.

Braidwood has registered with BodyCameraDonations.com for residents to donate directly to the project. The department currently has and uses three body cameras and would like to have an additional 10.

This would provide enough for two to three per shift.

“As elected officials, we always look for ways to increase transparency at all levels of government, including our local law enforcement community,” said Freitag. “This donation is one way we accomplish this goal and also help to improve public safety and police community relations. We encourage residents to contribute to this important cause and support officers that put their lives on the line every single day for us.”

The body cameras cost between $600 and $700 each, and police departments around the country are looking for ways to provide them for their officers, including the Will County Sheriff’s Department.

Last year, Illinois was one of the first states in the country to pass legislation creating comprehensive law enforcement rules for body cameras.

38 NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE, MORRIS

Brady gives Morris a part of Super Bowl history

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A few weeks ago, the National Football League celebrated 50 years of holding the Super Bowl.

Earlier this fall, Morris Community High School was notified that it was part of that celebration. The NFL had a program in which it sent a golden football to each high school that produced a graduate whom had played in one of the first 49 Super Bowls.

In 1989, Ed Brady, who graduated from MCHS in 1980 and was an all-state linebacker for the 1979 Redskins that finished in second place in Class 3A to Mascoutah, was a member of the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII as a long snapper on special teams and a backup linebacker on defense. The NFL sent a golden football to MCHS, emblazoned with printing that reads, “Morris Community High School, Ed Brady, Part of Super Bowl History, XXIII” with the NFL logo underneath.

On Feb. 26, Brady, who lives just outside of Cincinnati and coaches inside linebackers and special teams at Lakota East High School in Liberty Township, Ohio, was in Morris for celebrating of his father’s 93rd birthday.

He took the time to visit Morris Community High School with his three sons, drawing a crowd. Morris athletic director George Dergo and assistant principal Jeff Johnson guided the Bradys through the school, along with an ever-growing group of current Redskins football players like Keagan Sobol, Jackson Shannon and Delaney Stutzki, as well as head coach Alan Thorson and offensive coordinator Bill Lauer.

During the tour, Brady took the time to sign the football, as well as the old Redskins’ No. 51 jersey that he wore during his playing days at MCHS. As he stepped back in time, he reflected on his days as a Redskin, back when the NFL seemed like a pipe dream.

“I am just a kid from Fremont Avenue,” he said. “The guys I played with in high school, they are still some of my best friends now. I took a lot of Morris with me into the Super Bowl. Everything I learned about football started here, so there was always a lot of Morris with me whenver I played. “[Morris] Coach [Dan] Darlington and [Cincinnati Bengals] coach [Sam] Wyche were very similar in their competitiveness and being very innovative.

Coach Darlington was ahead of his time with the way we weight trained and conditioned back then, before other teams were doing it that much. Coach Wyche was one of the first coaches in the NFL to go wth a no-huddle offense, so they both thought outside the box a

Brady signed a gold football that was awarded to MCHS by the NFL for Brady having participated in a Super Bowl. little bit.

“Both of those guys were also very good at tailoring what they did to their players’ talents. They didn’t try to make you fit into their system. They figured out what they had and built a system around it.”

Johnson then showed Brady, the starting middle linebacker for the University of Illinois in the 1984 Rose Bowl, the current trophy case in the main gym lobby and described how it will be changed to accomodate his contribution, making the signed jersey and football a centerpiece, along with

an action photo of him playing for the Bengals, which Brady promised to send to the school. It will match the existing displays on the other side of the trophy case with the signed jerseys and photos of former major-league baseball players and MCHS graduates Scott Spiezio and Kelly Dransfeldt.

With Brady in town to celebrate his own father’s birthday, Dergo pointed out to him that his own father, Gehrig, was celebrating a birthday on the same day. Brady then noted the importance that the elder Dergo had on his NFL career, which spanned 12 years, mostly as

a long snapper on punts and field goals.

“Coach Dergo taught me how to long snap when I was here,” he said. “I didn’t do it a lot in college, but after my first year with the Rams, the NFL cut the roster size down from 52 to 49. [Los Angeles Rams] Coach [John] Robinson came up to me and told me that I better brush up on my long snapping if I wanted to stay in the league.

“It worked out pretty well for me, and I learned how to do that right here at Morris High School.”

It led him – and, by extension, Morris – to be a part of Super Bowl history.

hitting three 3-pointers in the third quarter to help Morris build a 32-27 lead heading into the fourth. The final quarter belonged to Morris senior Jordan Miracle, who took advantage of the attention being paid to Shaw and scored 11 of his 15 points, including a 6-of-6 showing from the free throw line.

“That’s a senior stepping up and knocking down a few big shots in the fourth,” Blumberg said. “And Matt Shaw got us a cushion by hitting a few big shots in the third.

“We know we have to play better Tuesday night, but by having close losses the second time around in our conference against teams like Sycamore, Kaneland and Yorkville that are similar to Plano makes us feel pretty good.”

“Our local businesses have been amazingly supportive throughout the years and they are again this year, too. We have a lot of stuff up for sale in our silent auction that many local businesses have donated.”

Included in prizes available throughout the night are tickets to both Cubs and White Sox games, a Blackhawks painting and a private Dave Walker room rental at Clayton’s’ Tap. Baseball Boosters president “The Draw Down tickets are sold out,” Walker said about the raffle that offers cash prizes throughout high school baseball team, Baseball the night, with a top prize of $1,250.

In past seasons, money raised by the boosters has been used to buy a new scoreboard, new backstop windscreens, padding for the fences and the annual trip to Jacksonville’s artificial surface in southern Illinois.

“That is a real good trip for the boys,” Walker said. “It’s early in the season and it’s still cold, but they get a chance to get outside and play. Plus, it’s just the experience of spending that time together that brings a team together. The players will remember that stuff more than a situation that happened in any game.”

PLANO – Nothing matters in the postseason but the bottom line. There are no extra bonus points for winning pretty or by a certain amount of points.

That’s fine with Morris boys basketball coach Joe Blumberg, who saw his team beat Coal City, 53-40, in the opening game of the Class 3A Plano Regional on Monday night.

“We’re 1-0 in the postseason. That’s the important thing,” Blumberg said.

“There were some frustrating things, but hopefully we got those out of our system and we can come out and play better tomorrow [against host Plano].

We are going to have to. Plano has length and quickness that concern us.”

Neither team could muster much offense early, as Morris got a 3-pointer from Matt Shaw and Coal City got one from Keegan Clampitt in the first quarter and that was it. The two teams were tied at a baseball-like score of 3-3 at the end of the first period.

“You’d have thought we didn’t work at all against a zone defense for the last week and a half in practice,” Blumberg said. “But we worked extensively against a zone, but it didn’t translate early. We had to switch up our own defense and go to a trap to try to quicken the pace of the game up. We didn’t want the game to go as slow as it was going.”

The plan worked, as Morris racked up 15 points in the second quarter and took an 18-17 lead into halftime. Shaw hit another 3-pointer and drained all

Coal City walks away with a piece of history

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com BLOOMINGTON – Class 1A wrestling programs from throughout Illinois have had the same mission during the past four seasons – beat Dakota.

Coach Peter Alber’s squad brought a 21-4 record to last weekend’s dual team finals. One defeat came to eventual 3A champion Oak Park and River Forest, another was to eventual 2A champ Washington and the other two were against 3A quarterfinalist Hononegah and also Deerfield, a team that was ranked in the top 10 in 3A. Included in their wins over bigger programs was a victory over 3A quarterfinalist Montini.

So there are good reasons why the Indians had rolled to three-straight Class 1A titles and looked to add to their dominance last weekend. While Olympia and Vandalia both held early leads over the Indians in the first two rounds of Saturday’s competition, Dakota stormed back to capture decisive wins.

One team in the past four years had given Dakota a serious run for its money at state, and that was Mercer County in the 2013 finals, when the Indians started their current streak. Dakota trailed by 10 points with four matches left before rallying for a 35-25 victory.

Coach Mark Masters’ Coal City squad met Dakota a year ago in the semifinals and fell, 56-16, before bouncing back to take third place in its first state appearance since 1999. But after being ranked second behind the Indians throughout the current season, the Coalers believed that they could beat the champs, and gave them a good run for their money.

It quickly became apparent that this year’s title meet would also be dramatic after the 31-3 Coalers opened with three straight victories to grab an early 12-0 lead. Coal City still led, 18-15, with six matches remaining but Dakota won the next four and then was able to forfeit the final two bouts to claim a 31-30 triumph.

Despite the narrow setback, Coal City made some noteworthy history. It was the first time that the program had won two straight trophies. And the second-place finish equaled the program’s previous-best showings, which they pulled off in 1984, 1995 and 1998.

“There’s a reason why they’re fourtime state champs,” said Joey Rivera, who was a two-time state finalist.

“They’re a good team and we came out and gave it our best effort and wrestled tough for six minutes. We had a big freshman class this year and a lot of them stepped up and played a huge role

“When we looked at the bracket this year, I was in the perfect spot,” he said.

“Things went my way. I wrestled a couple of overtime matches against guys that were taller than me, but I was able to put my best effort in and get past them.

“I definitely want to keep working hard and get back to state. I know there is going to be a target on my back, though, being a sophomore and finishing second. I am not sneaking up on

anyone any more. I know I am always going to have guys gunning for me.

That will just make me work harder.”

Morris coach Jon Lanning echoed Baldridge’s sentiments while at the same time praising the season he had.

“Cody just works so hard in the off-season, during the season, all the time,” Lanning said. “But, he’s going to have to keep working harder from here on out. No one is just going to hand it to him. We saw some strange things happen this year at state. There was a two-time defending champ at 170 that

got beat in the quarterfinals right before our match, so we saw first hand what can happen.

“They say it’s hard to get to the top, but it’s even harder to stay there. Cody got as close to the top as you can get this year without getting there, and no one is going to make it easy for him to get there next year or the year after.

But I am so proud of him for what he was able to accomplish this year. When your best guys are your hardest workers, that’s a good thing, and that’s what Cody is.”

SERENA – The Newark boys basketball team continues to accomplish goals on its long list for the 2015-16 season. The most recent accomplishment was winning a regional championship.

The No. 1 seeded Norsemen won their seventh crown in eight years after topping No. 4 Leland-Earlville, 66-47, in the Class 1A Serena Regional title game on Friday.

“It’s been awesome,” Newark senior Jack Clausel said. “It’s been really nice to be a part of this program. Newark basketball is going to be awesome for a long time.”

With the win, Newark improved

to 26-2 this year and won its 15th consecutive game. The Norsemen took on Marquette Academy in the Class 1A Marquette Academy Sectional semifinal on Wednesday.

The Crusaders advanced after they defeated Indian Creek, 62-53, for the Class 1A Amboy Regional title.

This will be the second meeting between Newark and Marquette this year after the Norsemen won a 57-39 road game on Jan. 5.

“We played [Marquette] already this year and in the regional final last year. They are a similar team. They are a good team, so it should be a good game,” Newark coach Rick Tollefson said. “We are going to have to play well.

We just have to go game-by-game.”

Against Leland-Earlville (20-10), the Panthers put up a strong fight against the Norsemen in the first half. There were four ties in the first quarter and Newark led just 26-21 at the half after a three-pointer from Dylan Patrick off the bench in the closing minutes.

“We didn’t shoot well early, and our inside game wasn’t active,” Tollefson said. “We were a little nervous, a little tentative, but in the second half, we did some really good things and made some adjustments.” “(Leland-Earlville) wanted this one bad because they had nothing to lose,” Patrick added. “But we came back and fought hard.”

Patrick’s 3-pointer was part of a 9-0 run that continued in the opening min-

utes of the third quarter from Newark.

The Norsemen took their first double-digit lead of the game after a bucket from Evan Schomer that pushed the team ahead 32-21 with 5:28 left in the third.

The Norsemen maintained their double-digit lead the rest of the way and led 43-29 entering the fourth quarter. Newark ended the game on a 9-0 run and was led by Jack Clausel (20 points, 15 rebounds), Patrick (12 points - nine in the fourth quarter), Will Clausel (11 points, six rebounds, six assists) and Schomer (10 points).

“It was a much better second half,” Jack Clausel said. “We seemed nervous, but then we settled down. It was kind of scary there at the start.”

MORRIS – One of the most impressive and grandest spectacles in high school sports is the Grand March at the University of Illinois’ State Farm Center.

The march takes place prior to the state individual wrestling finals, and by itself is worth the price of admission. In front of a packed house, high school wrestlers that have reached the championship match in their respective weight class and division are paraded onto the mat with the house lights down and the spotlights on themselves and their coaches as they are announced and their achievement as state finalist honored.

Morris sophomore Cody Baldridge saw his brother, Kenny, take part in the Grand March in 2014, when Kenny won the state title at 132 pounds.

Seeing it and being in it were two different things for Cody Baldridge, who finished second in Class 2A at 182 pounds and was honored at a public ceremony at Morris Community High School last Thursday night.

“The Grand March was the best experience of my life,” he said. “It was totally different than watching it when my brother was in it. To be down on that floor and look up and see the whole crowd was just awesome.”

While Baldridge wasn’t able to duplicate his brother’s state championship, he has two more years to compete and hopes to return to Champaign and come back with a title. But even though he has two years remaining, the sophomore, who finished this season with a

Don’t leave nature out of the conversation I walked through the door and perused the mail scattered across the counter. Typical bills, piles of solicitations, and fliers for various sales formed quite the mound. Amid the mundane, something caught my eye. A large, first-class, envelope jutted out from under the clutter.

I snatched it and adjusted my grip so the return address could be read. A friend from my church had mailed it. Interesting. Curiosity drove me to shred open the top and see what it might be. Everyone loves to get mail.

A nice card with a personal note explained the contents. She had sent me a copy of Yes Magazine and on page 57, there was an article she thought I might find intriguing since I love the outdoors.

The title of the article, “Lost Language of Natural Places,” caught my attention. I have heard about indigenous languages fading away, but this was different. The subheading clarified the author’s intent: “Don’t let floral and faunal words go extinct from the dictionary.”

The author, Jack Turner, elo-

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers quently goes on to explain how the loss of our connection to the land is responsible for the disappearance of words that are specific and meaningful. But in today’s world, that meaning is losing ground as our lives become more technologically sophisticated.

Mr. Turner mentions a book by Robert Macfarlane, titled “Landmarks,” in which an attempt to make us aware of this phenomenon is discussed.

As I read through the piece, I realized how specific terms for natural places can be. Examples included a few Gaelic words I found fascinating: bugha – a green bowshaped area of moor grass or moss, formed by the winding of a stream; caochan – a slender moor stream obscured by vegetation such that it is virtually hidden; feadan – a small

stream running from a moorland loch; feith - a watercourse running through peat, often dry in summer, the form of which resembles veins or sinews.

These words are remarkably descriptive. People of the era in which these words were common would understand explicitly what they meant. In fact, when mentioning this article to a friend of mine who paints for a living, he mentioned the Inuit have many distinct words for snow.

We see snow, we call it that – snow. To the Inuit, the different characteristics of a snowfall mean something. Is it good for driving a sled? Is it falling softly or coming down in a storm? Simple words convey entire descriptive meanings that the locals use, understand, and rely.

In an article in The New Yorker, it is mentioned that the Oxford Junior Dictionary eliminated many nature words. A partial list includes: acorn, almond, ash, beech, bluebell, buttercup, dandelion, fern, hamster, heron and herring. The

list continues, but you get the point.

The article states that words such as Blackberry, blog, broadband, bullet-point, chat room, and voicemail have been inserted.

If this topic tweaks your interest, you may wish to read the article in its entirety. Go to the website www. yesmagazine.org. In the search box, type in the author’s name, Jack Turner, and the link will show up.

This article made me stop and think about how many words for natural places did our grandparents know, use, and understand, that we no longer find in the course of our everyday discussions. I’m sure besides lost terminology for the natural world, there is also a vast array of agricultural terms our forefathers tossed about from one day to the next.

I’m glad that magazine found its way to my mailbox. It will forever change the way I think about the words we have for our natural places.

What can beat a bowl of pasta with a creamy, savory meat sauce?

Bolognese (boh-lohNYEH-zeh) is a sauce from its namesake city, Bologna, Italy. Made rich and hearty by including ground meat, milk and wine, Bolognese is best ladled over ribbons of tender pasta.

While traditional recipes can take many hours of very slow cooking to develop the deep flavor, our fast variation is still enormously satisfying.

Even better, the sauce can be made in nearly the time it takes to boil the water and cook the pasta.

CLASSIC QUICK BOLOGNESE Serves 4

3 Tbsp olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 pound lean ground chuck ½ tsp coarse salt Freshly ground black pepper ½ cup dry red wine 2 cups tomato puree ¼ cup milk 8 oz wide pasta (such as fettuccine), cooked ½ cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium. Add onion; cook, stirring, 5 minutes.

Add garlic; cook 1 minute.

Increase heat to medium-high.

Add beef, salt and pepper. Cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Add wine to pan and stir, scraping bottom of pan to loosen any brown bits.

When wine is nearly evaporated, add tomato puree, stirring well.

Reduce heat and simmer until sauce tightens around the meat, about 5 minutes.

Add milk, stir and cook 5 minutes. Serve with hot cooked pasta and sprinkle with cheese.

Variation: For Turkey Bolognese, substitute 1 pound ground turkey for the beef and ½ cup chicken broth for the red wine.

8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth The comedy series returns with a notable guest star of the moment: young Jacob Tremblay, who’s earned much acclaim — and stolen many hearts — as the child in the award-winning movie “Room.” He plays the younger version of star Will Forte’s character Phil, aka Tandy, whose brother Mike (guest star Jason Sudeikis) is an astronaut who lands on the supposedly deserted planet a la Charlton Heston in “Planet of the Apes.” Boy, is he in for some surprises.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM CSI: Cyber It’s no mystery that some who post on social media can enrage others, but a definite mystery arises when someone starts killing such offenders in the new episode “5 Deadly Sins.” JamieLynn Sigler (“The Sopranos”) guest stars as an observer of such posts who helps Avery (Patricia Arquette) and the team seek the perpetrator.
