Dwight closes double homicide caseBy BRIAN STANLEY

[email protected]

DWIGHT – Authoritieshave closed the investigationinto the slaying earlier thisyear of two women inside theirDwight home.

“All evidence shows JosephSipple, 27, acted alone in thisheinous act,” Police Chief TimHenson said in a statement re-leased Wednesday.

Sipple, who once was a res-ident of Morris, committedsuicide when police came toarrest him for an unrelated

burglary two weeks after Don-na J. Denker, 60, and Kelli L.Denker, 30, were found June 14shot in their home.

Another male relative alsowas wounded when the moth-er and daughter were killed intheir home in the 200 block ofWest North Street in Dwight.

On June 26, LaSalle CountySheriff’s deputies arrived toarrest Sipple at his girlfriend’sresidence near Sheridan afterlinking him to stolen proper-ty. Sipple reportedly ran to anearby garage and killed him-self with a .40-caliber Glock

semi-automatic handgun.Henson said ballistic tests

confirmed the gun Sipple usedwas the same firearm thatkilled the Denkers.

On July 30, police searcheda large wooded area near Sip-ple’s girlfriend’s house andfound a large blue tarp hidingseveral long gun cases, Hen-son said in the statement. Thecases and guns inside had beenreported stolen to Morris po-lice.

“Also discovered were sev-eral items belonging to JosephSipple, including what was be-

lieved to be a pair of his whitetennis shoes, in which policewere told on numerous occa-sions, he always wore,” Hen-son said in the statement.

Henson confirmed theGlock also was reported stolenin a Morris burglary, whileSipple was involved in bur-glarizing the Denker house inAugust 2013.

On Oct. 21, testing at thestate police crime lab con-firmed the white tennis shoesfound in a blue tub next to thestolen guns had the victims’DNA on them, Henson said.

Oliver Nelson paints his pumpkin teal to place on the family door-step alerting trick-or-treaters who have food allergies that they areoffering non-food treats.

Teal pumpkins signify a funHalloween for allBy HEIDI LITCHFIELD

[email protected]

MORRIS – Sarah Nelson

just wants her 2-year-old son

Oliver to enjoy trick-or-treat-

ing like all the other children.

But with severe food aller-

gies, she can’t let him eat the

treats he will get going house-

to-house on Halloween.

Thanks to the “Teal Pump-

kin Project,” started by Food

Allergy Research and Educa-

tion , children like Oliver have

the chance to enjoy Halloween

along with everyone else.

The Teal Pumpkin Project

encourages communities to

make Halloween enjoyable

for children with allergies

by offering non-food treats to

trick-or-treaters, according

to FARE. Those participating

paint a pumpkin teal, the color

of food allergy awareness, and

place it in front of their house.

“The Teal Pumpkin Project

is designed to promote safety,

inclusion and respect of indi-

viduals managing food aller-

gies – and to keep Halloween

a fun, positive experience for

all,” according to FARE.

The Nelson family will

paint a pumpkin teal to show

their support and to let par-

ents know they are offering

non-food items this Halloween.

“I know this affects a lot of

people,” Nelson said. “It’s not

fun taking away candy after

they have gone trick-or-treat-

ing.”

She hopes to see other hous-

es in Morris join in by offering

both candy treats and non-food

treats for children to choose

from.

“For me, it’s all about their

childhood and being able to

participate. Just because they

have allergies doesn’t mean

they have to be in a bubble,”

she said.

The Nelson house will have

one bowl of candy and a sep-

arate bowl with pencils and

stickers, so children who stop

by Halloween night will have

the option of which treat they

will get.

Nelson’s son Oliver had his

first allergic reaction when he

was 7 or 8 months old, she said.

He had just started baby food.

“He broke out in hives, his

face was swollen, we took him

to a doctor and Children’s Hos-

pital and had him tested,” she

said.

She said they found food al-

lergies to both dairy and eggs.

The doctors hoped that, with

time, he might grow out of it,

but at his last allergy testing

he was labeled as “very aller-

gic.”

Oliver can’t even touch

something that has dairy with-

out having a reaction. She has


The Teal Pumpkin Project asks people to have non-food items to dis-tribute to trick-or-treaters such as stickers, pencils or toys.

1. Under the Republican-controlled County Board, the Grundy County property tax rate has increased13% over the last four years from 6.60% in 2010 to 7.50% in 2013.

2. Spending by the Republican-controlled County Board has actually increased from $14,628,374 in2011 to $15,372,014 in 2014, an increase of $743,640, almost 3/4 of a million dollars. (Statements of

Amended Budgets for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014).

3. Republicans Ron Severson, Chris Balkema and David Welter, ignoring the Grundy County Assessor’sexpert opinion of the true assessed value of the Dresden facility, negotiated with Exelon to reduce theDresden nuclear plant assessed valuation causing Grundy County and the area schools to lose millionsof dollars of revenue from 2013 until 2018, instead shifting the tax burden onto the working middleclass families of Grundy County. Under Democratic Leadership, the Dresden plant, a plant with another20 year renewal of its license and increasing electric rates and fees, saw increases in its assessedvaluation, adding to our tax base and lessening the tax burden on Grundy homeowners.

By HEIDI [email protected]

MORRIS – Local residentsgot to hear during a Meet theCandidates Night held Tues-day about future plans of lo-cal candidates who hope to beelected into office on ElectionDay.

The event featured Grun-dy County Board candidates,sheriff, treasurer, clerk andstate representative candi-dates. It was sponsored by theGrundy County Farm Bureauand WCSJ radio.

Incumbent Kevin Callah-an, D-Morris, and Ken Briley,R-Minooka, who are runningfor Grundy County Sheriff,were asked if they feel thecounty has proper staffing inthat department.

Briley, who answered first,said the sheriff’s office coulduse more staff.

“We need more deputies onthe street,” he said.

Briley said more deputiesare needed to work undercov-er to address the county’s her-oin epidemic, and he doesn’tfeel one deputy assigned to theMetropolitan Area NarcoticSquad unit is enough.

Sometimes it takes a freshset of eyes to see changes thatneed to be made, he said, not-ing that after serving 24 yearsin the Department of Correc-tions, he realized how stagnanthe had become in that position.

Callahan said he believes

the current staff, which is thesame number the departmenthas had for the past 25 years, isadequate.

“I was challenged by theCounty Board to cut 10 per-cent of my operating budget,”he said. “That means cuttinga deputy. I have been able toprevent that.”

He doesn’t believe the an-swer is buying the way out ofthe problem, Callahan said,and said the best use of taxmoney is to have full-timedeputies. Hiring part-timestaff adds cost of uniforms andtraining, and Callahan saidthis would not be effectivespending.

State raceIn addition to the sheriff’s

race, candidates from theCounty Board, treasurer, clerkand state representative facedoff at the Meet the CandidatesNight.

Incumbent state Rep. JohnAnthony, R-Plainfield, andMartha Shugart, D-Morris,were the last to face questions.Both are running for the 75thHouse District.

One of the questions theywere asked was their thoughtson Senate Bill 16, which, if ap-proved, would change the wayschools in Illinois are fundedto a formula based on need.

Anthony, who was the firstto respond, said he is a spon-

sor of House Resolution 1276,which aims to stop SB 16.

“I am not for this bill,” An-thony said of SB 16. “There are18 school districts within the75th district, and only three ofthese districts win from thisbill.”

Anthony said Chicagowould benefit the most andonly has one district that willlose money. Schools in the75th would lose $1.13 million instate funding if SB 16 becomes

Grundy EMAdonation causes board discordBy KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media Correspondent

MINOOKA – A $6,600 dona-tion to Grundy County Emer-gency Management Agencycreated discord among Minoo-ka trustees at the monthly Vil-lage Board meeting Tuesday.

The donation to help offsetthe cost of a recently purchasedmobile command center gar-nered support from just four ofthe six trustees.

Trustees Barry Thomp-son and Terry Houchens bothvoiced disapproval, saying thevehicle was already paid forthrough the county’s budgetand therefore by taxpayers.

“We have already paid forit; I don’t think we should takemoney from our village andcommunity,” Thompson said.“Everybody is stretched, [themoney] could be used for some-thing else.”

Minooka Mayor Pat Bren-nan said the village of Diamondhad made a similar donation af-ter the EMA assisted Diamondand Coal City after the tornadoin November 2013. There wasno pressure from the EMA tomake a donation, Brennan add-ed.

“It’s a wonderful piece ofequipment and if somethinghappens here it would be greatto have,” Brennan said.

Houchens agreed withThompson, adding that whilethe EMA is important, hecouldn’t support being doubletaxed.

Trustee Dennis Martin, who

voted in favor, said the dona-tions speak volumes for the mu-nicipalities and the mobile unitis important to all residents.

The resolution approvingthe donation passed in a 6-0vote.

Later in the meeting, Bren-nan said that while the boarddoesn’t always agree on everyissue, it’s good they can talk itout and come to a conclusion.

Village auditgets clean opinion

Minooka’s yearly audit re-ceived a clean opinion with nomisappropriations or errors,auditor Brian Zabel said.

The village ended fiscal year2014 with $4.3 million in thegeneral fund, which is 84.4 per-cent of annual expenditures, ahealthy surplus in that fund,Zabel said.

The village was able topay down $1.1 million in debtduring the year, leaving about

$13 million to pay off.Both unfunded pension lia-

bilities are in good shape. Thevillage paid $200,000 over andabove its obligation to IMRF,making it 91 percent funded;and the police pension fund is60 percent funded.

“I would say the village isover funded, which is a goodspot to be in,” Zabel said.

Fund balances are in verygood shape, and everything isin order, he said.

The village’s good financialshape is due in large part to theboard’s conservative spendingpractices and detail to financialbudget plans for the last 10-plusyears, Village AdministratorDan Duffy said.

Renovating the Village Hallspace, instead of building a newfacility is a good example of theboard’s conservatism, Duffysaid.

“We have been financiallyprudent to our taxpayers,” he

said.

Demandwill be madeon Arbor Lakes’ bond

In a 6-0 vote, trustees ap-proved a demand on a securitybond for Arbor Lakes subdi-vision because the developershave not paid their share inthe cost of rebuilding BrannickRoad.

The residential and com-mercial developments on thecorner of Brannick and Ridgeroads had a contribution clausein their original agreements tofund upgrading of the road. Theothers that abut the property,Indian Ridge subdivision andthe Ace Hardware commercialdevelopment, all paid into thefund early, Duffy said.

The contribution clause haslong expired so the village willpull the bond that was set up toprotect taxpayers for situationssuch as this and use the moneyfor the road, Duffy added. Ar-

bor Lake’s share is $278,000.

Fire department gets another10 years to utilize property

Trustees approved the ex-tension of a deed restrictionthat gives the Minooka FireProtection District another 10years to utilize a parcel of prop-erty, deeded to them by the vil-lage in 2008.

The original agreement wasthat the fire district would uti-lize the property on MinookaRoad for services within 10years. If the property was notused in that manner, it wouldgo back to the village, accord-ing to records.

Although the property hasnot yet been used for the re-quired purpose, the village doesnot want to enforce the originalcovenant.

Trustees voted 6-0 to extendthe time another 10 years.

“We did a great thing here,”Trustee Dick Parrish said.

law, he said.“I have spoken to local

superintendents who areagainst the bill,” he said.“That is why I stand againstthe bill. I don’t see how any-one can stand for it.”

Shugart said educationneeds to be protected and thestate needs to secure excel-lence in education.

“We have outstandingschools in this district,” shesaid. “That bill will be chal-lenged. I understand whatRepresentative Anthony issaying.”

She said the state needsto make sure everyone is fis-cally responsible.

“That bill in it’s entire-ty is going to be challengedand I don’t see it [passing]either,” she said.

The two candidate alsodiscussed whether they sup-port making the temporarytax increase – which was ap-proved during the 2011 veto

session – a permanent one.It is set to expire in January.

Shugart said the stateneeds to revise its tax policyaltogether.

“My opinion on this, andit is very solid and logical,is that we’re under a 1970sIllinois tax policy,” Shugart

said. “We need a total revi-sion of our Illinois tax pol-icy,”

She said it’s logical thattax policy written in the1970s is not adequate.

“Nothing we were doingback then is equivalent towhat we’re doing now,” she

said. “We don’t have thesame economic climate.”

The state needs to be com-petitive with the surround-ing states and aggressivelypursue practices that makeIllinois a family-friendly af-fordable state so residentsremain in the state, Shugartsaid.

A n t h o n y s a i d h e i sagainst the temporary taxincrease becoming perma-nent.

“It’s a bad bill. The Illi-nois Farm Bureau believesit to be a bad bill, John An-thony believes it to be abad bill, the 75th Districtbelieves it to be a bad bill,”Anthony said.

He said when he was ap-pointed to the seat, he sentout a survey to find out whatthe people of the districtbelieved, and how they feltabout the issues affectingthe district and state.

“I don’t know if you know,maybe I’m lost about thedefinition of temporary,”Anthony said. “Temporarydoes not mean permanent.”

“Most reactions includehives, swelling of the tongue,mouth or fingers, and difficul-ty swallowing,” Lawler said.“Nuts are one of the allergiesthat are very difficult to workwith. The risk is just not worthtaking.”

She said hard candy is typ-ically free from allergies, butparents need to check labels tomake sure they weren’t pack-aged where other allergens are.

CALLAHAN’S CASH IN

ENVELOPES TROUBLING

To the Editor:I’m surewe have all been

reading and hearing about GrundyCounty Sheriff Callahan’s payinghis deputies in cash for overtimeworked on a traffic detail.Rememberwhen you hired on to

your job? You had to fill out aW-4form for the federal and state gov-ernments, to set up thatwithhold-ing. Here iswhat the federal formsays: “Complete FormW-4 sothat your employer canwithholdthe correct federal income taxfromyour pay.” Looking at Title26, Subtitle C, Chapter 24, 3402,it states “Except as otherwiseprovided in this section, every em-ployermaking payment ofwagesshall deduct andwithhold uponsuchwages a tax determined inaccordancewith tables or com-putational procedures prescribedby the Secretary.” This is a federallaw that is being brokenwith thispractice.If Sheriff Callahan had gone to

the state’s attorney and figuredthis out, he could have broughtthis issue up himself, and ad-dressed it. Instead, he apparentlytried towait and hope thiswouldgo away. That isn’t leadership.Callahan’s comments (DiscussedOct. 17 onWCSJ News) that this is“dirty politics” are laughable – no-body has smeared Sheriff Callahanwith false accusations – he admitsthat he did this. This is isn’t dirtypolitics, it’s the sheriff’s record.Instead of saying that he is

accountable andwill clean up themess, according to the countyboardmeeting transcript, Sheriff

Callahan attacks the personwho raised the concern,blames everyone else bysaying it’s been done for 20years, and doesn’t offer im-mediate action to resolve theissue, and sadly, neither doestheGrundy County Board.Sheriff Callahan’s attacks onthe personwho raised thisissue are improper and createa chilling environment foranyone elsewhomight havesimilar concerns.Sheriff Callahan, take ac-

countability for your actions,and clean up thismess in youroffice.

CALLAHANHAS THE

EXPERIENCE TOBE SHERIFF

To the Editor:

I’ve been a resident of Morrisand Grundy County since 1960.I’ve been a registered Republicanat times and a registered Demo-crat at times. I have realized I’mreally an independent, like mostof you, voting for the best personfor each position on the ballot.I’m supporting Kevin Callahan

for sheriff because I know howmuch experience means. Nothingcan compare to Kevin’s 31 yearsof experience as a deputy,sergeant, chief deputy and nowas our sheriff.Kevin has investigated every

major crime in Grundy Countyover the last 25 years. I don’tbelieve his opponent has everinvestigated a major crime hereor anywhere he has served. Valu-

able experience on the job andcoming up through the ranks asSheriff Callahan has done giveshim the leadership experiencewe all need in our sheriff.Since Kevin has been sheriff, he

established the first-ever GrundyCounty Sheriff’s Merit Commis-sion to ensure fairness in hiringpractices on the sheriff’s office.He also created the Sheriff’s

Police Explorer Program so any ofour youth who have aspirationsof becoming a police officerreceive valuable training andexperience to help determine ifpolice work is a career they reallywant to pursue.Finally, I was very upset with

the wayMr. Briley downgradedandmade untrue statementsabout my friend RonMarxthis spring during the primaryelection. Instead of running apositive campaign about himself,he continually made negativestatements that surely didn’tset well with me or anyonewho knows what a goodmanRonMarx is. He deserved to betreated with honor and respect,but he was not.

VOTEOBAMACRONIES

OUTOFOFFICE

To the Editor:There are more people on

welfare in Illinois than there arepeople working. Chicago hasone of the strictest gun laws inthe U.S. and one of the highestmurder rates. The leadership inIllinois and the combat zone inChicago – all Democrats. Statepension fund is $78 billion, worstin the country.This is the political culture that

Obama came from, and he wentto fix Washington politics?Ex-governor George Ryan just

go out of prison. Rod Blagojevich,who replaced Ryan – in prison.Representative Jesse Jackson Jr.,who resigned – in prison.Under Pat Quinn, the program

known as UpwardMobility pro-vides free college educations forstate employees. Five million dol-lars from past budgets has beenspent, according to a statehousereporter. After he filed two FOIAs,nobody in the Comptroller’sOffice or Central ManagementSystems knows where the mon-ey came from and the program isstill up and running.As long as they keep providing

entitlements to the population

of Chicago, nothing is going tochange, except the state will gobroke before the country does.Washington does the samething, so the country will be nextbecause all these entitlements(free cell phones, free Internet,etc.) are all for votes. Anybodythat thinks they can be happyand prosperous by letting thegovernment take care of thembetter take a closer look at theAmerican Indian.The private business sector is

real life business, not a govern-ment job. The percentage of theprevious 18 president’s cabinets(before Obama) that workedin the business sector beforetheir appointment to the cabinetrange from 32 percent to 55percent. Obama’s cabinet – 8percent. And these people aretrying to tell our big corporationshow to run their business!How can the president of a

major nation and society standand talk about business? Henever worked for one. Or aboutjobs when he has never reallyhad one. Let’s vote his croniesout this election!

Golf outing successful for Special ConnectionsMORRIS DAILY HERALD

MORRIS – Special Connec-

tions of Grundy County hosted

its fourth annual golf outing

Sept. 6 at Nettle Creek Country

Club in Morris, and the com-

munity came out in full force to

show their support.

Before the shotgun start

began, Kurt Nolan of Nettle

Creek Country Club and Jen-

nifer Price of Special Connec-

tions, welcomed the more than

100 golfers, according to a news

release from Special Connec-

tions. At this time, special rec-

ognition was given to Frank

and Jen Varner of Ebbey

George’s Bar and Grill, who

donated all the proceeds from

the Ebbey George’s Golf Out-

ing this past summer to Spe-

cial Connections. Along with

the donation from their 2012

golf outing, the Varners have

donated more than $14,000 to

Special Connections.

While on the course, golf-

ers found a group of children

who set up a lemonade stand

to raise money for Special Con-

nections. This was the second

year that TJ and Katie Rzasa

and Emily and Bennett Ammer

hosted their lemonade stand

for the golf outing, donating all

What changes do you thinkthe board needs to make?

“I’m hoping to change theself-serving interests. I feelpeople aren’t always doing

what is best for the communi-ty. They get on their agendasand become complacent oncethey’re on the board for longperiods of time. I think theyforget why [they’re serving].… I really feel that fresh bod-ies are the best thing to revivethe community.”

Seneca Grade Schoolstudents visit quarry

MORRIS DAILY HERALD

SENECA – Can you imaginestanding next to a tire that costs$22,000? Seneca Grade Schoolstudents did just that.

The sixth-grade class visitedVulcan Materials Lisbon Quar-ry as part of a mining unit thestudents are studying, accord-ing to a news release from theschool.

Don Theobald, the PlantManager and other staff mem-bers organized an all encom-passing learning experience forthe students.

The students learned aboutprospecting, the mining processand reclamation of land. Theywatched a short informationalvideo on the mining process.Then, the students completed 10different hands-on educationalstations. Rock and mineral iden-tification, sequencing suspend-ed solids, describing how bothsize and density can impact howlayering occurs, and making de-cisions on product use based oncore drill samples were amongthe educational modalities com-

pleted by the students.“I was surprised to hear

that a lot of items we use todaycouldn’t have been made with-out mining,” sixth-grader Jus-tine Ursua said in the release.

The students took a bus rideinto the quarry and observedthe trucks loading aggregate,transporting aggregate and un-loading the aggregate into thecrusher.

“The most interesting partof the field trip was seeing therock crushers and learning howmany times the stone wouldhave to go through the sifters toget to the correct size,” studentLuke Sangston said.

In the next week, the stu-dents will further investigatethe life cycle of a mine, careersin mining, and discovering theimportance of aggregate produc-ers. As a culminating activity,the students will be completingresearch on coal mining in Illi-nois and submitting their proj-ects to the Illinois Departmentof Commerce and EconomicOpportunity Office for the 27thannual Coal Calendar Contest.

False. Theymade animalmummies togive the deadfood or

companionshipin the afterlife.

Egyptians used a processcalled embalming to

preserve people’s bodies.It took a long time and had

many steps.

Below are some of the steps,but they are in the wrongorder. Solve each math

problem, then cut out eachstep and paste them in orderfrom lowest to highest onanother sheet of paper.

What is a mummy?Amummy is a dead body that has been preserved.

When people die, the body usually begins to decay. Soft parts, such as the skinand other organs, soon rot away. But in mummies, the body does not decay.

Sometimes the bodies were preserved on purpose. Other times, the body ispreserved by accident. It might have been frozen, left in a very dry placeor even covered by a peat bog.

This mystifying mummy is trying to trick you. Can youseparate fact from fiction? Follow the mummy’s wrappingsto check your mummy memory.

False.Mummies, orpreserved dead bodies,have been found in suchplaces as the Alps,in Florida and insouthern Peru.

False. Peoplein Chile weremummifyingtheir dead2,000 yearsbefore theEgyptians.

True. Theypreserveddead bodiesso each

spirit wouldrecognizeits body.

The embalmers took

out the brain, lungs,

stomach, liver and

intestines. The heart

was left in the body and

all of the organs were

saved, except for the

brain. It was thrown

away. What does this

tell you about the

importance Egyptians

put on the brain?

23 - 11 - 11 =

1. Due to a loss of confidence in the Republican-controlled County Board, two new

employee unions have formed among the county employees resulting in additional

costs in negotiating more union contracts.

2. Republican County Board Member Teryl Lundeen resigned due to not living in Grundy

County, possibly since before her election, but still collected her paycheck and other

benefits equaling thousands of dollars. (Grundy County Board Minutes 7/8/14)

3. The turnover of four county administrators in three years and three human resource

directors in two years under the leadership of Republicans Vicki Geiger, Chris Balkema

and Ron Severson has created a very unstable working environment as well as made

it unattractive to industry to locate here with good paying jobs.

IHSA CLASS 5A BLOOMINGTON-NORMAL FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: MORRIS (5-4) vs. NORMAL U-HIGH (9-0), 3 P.M. SATURDAY

Redskins to take on unbeaten PioneersBy ROB OESTERLE

[email protected]

MORRIS – For most of therest of the football teams thatare in the playoffs, the realityof finality of a postseason lossis a new concept.

The Morris football team,however, has been living withthat reality for the past threeweeks. After sitting with a2-4 record through six games,the Redskins knew a fifth losswould mean no playoffs forthem.

Since their last loss, how-ever, Morris has reeled off

wins against Kaneland, Syca-more and LaSalle-Peru, earn-ing them a spot in the Class5A playoffs with a 5-4 record.However, the thrill of mak-ing the playoffs is balancedagainst being paired againstan undefeated Normal U-Highteam on the Pioneers’ homefield, Hancock Stadium onthe campus of Illinois StateUniversity. The Pioneers areranked No. 5 in the most re-cent Associated Press 5A poll.The Redskins kick off theirplayoff season afternoon at 3p.m. Saturday, and hope thatthe Northern Illinois Big 12

teams they played, as well asClass 8A teams Minooka andDundee-Crown, have themprepared for the challenge.

“We’ve played a toughschedule,” Morris coach AlanThorson said. “Of course, wefeel like a couple of our lossescould have been wins, but welearned something from thosegames. We feel like we havegotten better as the year hasgone on and we are peaking atthe right time.”

Normal U-High has beenan offensive powerhouse thisseason, doing a bulk of itsdamage through the air. ThePioneers average 36 pointsand 225 yards passing a game.They are fairly balanced, how-ever, as they pick up 160.3yards a game on the groundas well.

Quarterback Nick Phelan isthe trigger man for the U-Highoffense, completing 58 percentof his passes. He has thrownfor 20 touchdowns againstjust seven interceptions andalso is a threat to run. Hehas rushed for 339 yards andsix TDs as well. Niles Smith

is the leading rusher for thePioneers, totaling 560 yardsand five touchdowns, whileJoseph Hughes has run for 406yards and eight scores. Phel-an’s favorite target is Hughes,who has caught 31 passes for552 yards. Other top receivers

in the Pioneer’s attack areSam Arvik (24 catches, 437yards) and Austin Weiter (21catches, 400 yards).

“They definitely have plen-ty of weapons,” Thorson said.

Coalers to see similar squad in the TrojansBy ROB OESTERLE

[email protected]

COAL CITY – When CoalCity’s football team takes itshome field Friday at 7 p.m.against Mendota in the firstround of the Class 4A play-offs, the Coalers expect to seea team similar to themselves.

The Trojans enter with a 6-3record, while the Coalers are7-2. Coal City’s only two loss-es are to Manteno, which is 8-1and ranked fifth in Class 4A,and Wilmington, which is 9-0and ranked No. 2 in Class 3A,while Mendota has been beat-en by 8-1 Johnsburg (No. 12 inClass 4A), 9-0 Rockford Luther-an (No. 1 in Class 4A) and 5-4Oregon.

Both teams prefer to runthe ball, and with good rea-son. Coal City’s size up front,headed by 6-foot-5, 305-poundMatt Long, has enabled seniorspeedster Jack Dibble to runfor 1,666 yards and 19 touch-downs in nine games, whileMendota’s Wyatt Martinsonhas run for 1,222 yards and 17TDs. As a team, Mendota aver-ages 252.8 yards on the grounda game.

“They like to run it,” CoalCity coach Lenny Onsen saidabout the Trojans. “They runa lot of Wing-T, but they willalso go with some Power-I,they will bring out seven offen-sive linemen for sort of an un-balanced look. They run somepistol out of the shotgun andeven some double wing. Theylike to go out of multiple for-mations, so our defense has tobe ready for anything.

“Mainly, we just want to goout and do what we do best. Ihave been really happy latelywith our pursuit on defense.We have been getting to theball quickly and gang tack-ling. That’s something I wouldlike to see us build on Fridaynight.”

When Coal City has to

throw the ball, junior NickMicetich has been improvingthroughout the season. He hascompleted 31 of 61 passes for450 yards.

“Nick has gotten better ev-ery game,” Onsen said. “Hemakes the throws he has to.We haven’t asked him to do toomuch, but he has done what-ever we have asked him to. Hemanages the game real well,and that’s what we need out ofhim.”

The defense has been CoalCity’s calling card for most ofthe season. Led by a sturdydefensive line and lineback-ing corps, the Coalers haveproven adept at slowing downmost teams’ running games.The secondary also will get aboost Friday when it welcomesback starter D.J. Budde frominjury.

“We are actually prettyhealthy, which is kind rare forthis time of the year,” Onsensaid. “Plus, getting a guy likeBudde back in the lineup willonly help us, not only withhis talent, but with his leader-ship.”

Historically, the Coalersand Trojans have met twice inthe postseason. The first meet-ing was in 1987, the first timeCoal City ever had been in theplayoffs, and Mendota handedthe Coalers a 42-14 defeat. In2004, the Coalers exacted theirrevenge, defeating Mendota38-7 en route to a second-placefinish in Class 4A. This is theseventh straight postseasonappearance for Coal City andthe first since 2011 for Mendo-ta.

One thing that Onsen likesabout the Friday night match-up is the location.

“We’re excited to have ahome game,” he said. “There’sno travel involved and thehome crowd will be behind us.We always have a real good at-mosphere for a home playoffgame.”

“We are going to have to be verydisciplined on defense and notlet them hit that big play on us.”

Health, which usually is aconcern for playoff teams as thelong season begins to wear onplayers’ bodies, is working inMorris’ favor this season. TheRedskins were swamped byinjuries early in the year, but

week by week, those players arehealing and coming back to thelineup.

“We’re a different team nowthan we were early in the year,”Thorson said. “We’ve been get-ting guys healthy and it has

made a big difference.”And, while making the post-

season after a 2-4 start is quitean accomplishment, Thorsondoes not want his team to take a“just happy to be here” attitude.

“This is a whole new sea-

son,” Thorson said. “Everyoneis 0-0. We lose, and we’re done.It’s been like that for the lastthree weeks for us, so we’reused to that. Our kids have hada good week of practice, andwe’re ready to get going.”

BEARS

We shouldn’t be surprised by these BearsIf you are like most of the

people I’ve been talking to onthe radio, or the gang that’semailing me regularly or justmost of the folks I bump intoon the streets, you’re proba-bly feeling duped by the 2014Bears right about now.

I never drank the Kool-Aidsome of you did and uttered oreven dreamed the two biggestwords in sports: Super Bowl.

In fact, I’ve been clear sincelast spring these guys aren’tgood enough to win a playoffgame.

But I did predict these guyscould be good enough to hangaround through a brutal firstnine games on their schedule,six of which were on the road,and then win six of their lastseven to finish at 10-6, givingthem an 87 percent probabili-ty of being a wild-card team.

Obviously, that’s not goingto happen.

For some NFL teams, abye is a wonderful thing, andAaron Rodgers’ hamstring

is dinged, although he said itwon’t keep him from beatingthe Bears, but the problemwith my prediction is theSaints were supposed to bethe only real roadblock withtheir three games against theLions (2) and Cowboys beinglaydowns.

So, how did this all go soterribly wrong?

Let’s start with the premisethat Jay Cutler and BrandonMarshall were suddenly goingto be MVP candidates andteam leaders in their ninthseasons in the NFL.

The Cutler hopes were ahair more realistic than thosefor Marshall because theywere based on the belief/hopethat Marc Trestman was thequarterback whisperer heneeded.

The problem with all thatis just the slightest bit of re-search would have made clearthat although Trestman is agood offensive mind, he hasnever come close to engineer-

ing the kind of turnaround

Bears fans expected from

Cutler.

Cutler’s shortcomings

have never been the result of

coaching, they are the result

of habits he’s developed over

a lifetime in the game that are

as damaging today as they

were the day he left Vander-

bilt.

As for Marshall, it took

four seasons for the Broncos

to realize they couldn’t afford

to have him around any

longer and only two for the

Dolphins to come to the same

conclusion.

Why was he suddenly

going to get better, let alone

fail to do damage in his third

season in Chicago?

Unfortunately, there is a

lot more.

Almost every day inBourbonnais I heard someonesay at least we “know” thedefensive line is better.

And I kept asking howdo you know that? LamarrHouston had absolutely nopass rushing credits to hisname coming out of Oakland,and it was more than possiblethat Jared Allen was at theexact same point of his careeras Julius Peppers or possiblyeven a little further down thebackside of the hill.

The Bears had the worstsafeties in football last seasonand “fixed” that by bringingback one of them in ChrisConte and adding careerbackups Ryan Mundy, DannyMcCray and M.D. Jennings tocompete with him.

How was that supposed toturn out any differently thanit did?

It’s great having the bestpair of starting wideouts inthe NFL, or at least Marshalland Alshon Jeffery were last

year. But how do ignore thethird and fourth spots?

Demariyus Thomas andWes Welker were actuallymore productive last seasonthan Marshall and Jefferywhen you include TDs. Butthe Broncos made adding Em-manuel Sanders a priority.

What did the Bears do?There’s really no mystery

here.We’ve got the next week or

so to try to figure out what’snext and how close or faraway a winning team reallyis.

But the story of the 2014season so far is the Bears, ledby Phil Emery, mixed up abig batch of sugar water withnone of the actual ingredientsyou need to make Champagne,and we all just gulped it downon our own.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

James Callaghan, a former primeminister of Great Britain, said, “Aleader must have the courage to actagainst an expert’s advice.”

However, you had better pickyour moments carefully. In general,an expert’s advice will be rightalmost all of the time. In this deal,look only at the West hand and theauction. What should he lead againstsix spades?

I approve strongly of North’stwo-heart response, showing arespectable suit and at least eighthigh-card points (or a terrific seven).When South rebid two spades, Northsensibly showed his second suit. (Hewas tempted to rebid two no-trump,but if they belonged in no-trump,he knew that South ought to be thedeclarer.) When North raised spades,South might have control-bid(cue-bid) five clubs, but he usedBlackwood.

What should West have ledagainst six spades? In general,do not lead a side suit bid by theopponents (unless you are strongin that suit, of course). That wouldsuggest choosing a trump (whichworks perfectly) or the diamond ace(which is a disaster).

At the table, though, West leda highly debatable heart 10. Southtook dummy’s two winners, discard-ing his two minor-suit fours, thenplayed a diamond to his jack. (Hewas confident that with queen-highdiamonds, West would have led thatsuit.)

West won and played anotherheart, but South ruffed, cashed hisdiamond king, ruffed a diamondin the dummy, drew trumps, andclaimed.

The lead is critical

Dear Doctor K: I get plentyof sleep. So why do I yawnall the time?

Dear reader: We all yawnfrequently, more often inthe early morning and lateevening. Does it mean we’retired? Bored? Short on oxy-gen? As common as it is, weknow little for certain aboutyawning.

We do know that yawn-ing does not always indicatea need for sleep. It is truethat people often yawn asthey get ready to retire forthe night. But we also yawnwhen we first arise in themorning and at other timesduring the day.

Past theories about whywe yawn centered on theassumption that it was areflex in response to lowoxygen or high carbon di-oxide levels. That’s becausebreathing (which is what wedo when we yawn) takes inoxygen and removes carbondioxide. When you yawn,you take in more air thanwith a normal breath. Soit’s a reasonable theory thatwe yawn because we needmore oxygen, or less carbondioxide.

But reasonable theoriesoften don’t prove true.This particular theory lostfavor after a study in whichvolunteers subjected to highoxygen levels did not yawnless, and after high carbondioxide exposure did notyawn more.

Another theory of yawn-ing is that it protects againsta condition called atelecta-sis (at-al-EK-tas-is), which isthe collapse of some of thelung’s air sacs.

The lungs are full of tinylittle air sacs, but not all ofthem are filled with air. Ifan air sac remains withoutair, it’s like a little collapsedballoon. Instead of being

separated by air, the wallsof the sac touch each other.If that goes on for very long,the walls can get sticky. Itgets harder for the air sac toopen when new air entersthe lungs.

Yawning opens up tinyairways and prevents themfrom collapsing. So the the-ory that yawning is a reflexthat protects against atel-ectasis is reasonable. Thiscould explain why yawningseems to occur when yourbreathing is shallow, suchas when you’re tired orbored. However, we don’tknow if the theory is true.

Here’s another theory:Yawning might be a warn-ing system to alert you thatyou’re getting sleepy andyou had better stay awake.If you are driving a car, forexample, and relaxing tothe point where you mightsoon fall asleep, yawningmight make you moreconscious of the need to takea break. Yawning is associ-ated with stretching of themuscles and joints and anincreased heart rate. Thatmay make you more alert.

Finally, yawning maybe a sign of disease. Al-though rarely the first sign,excessive yawning has beenobserved among peoplewith multiple sclerosis, ALS(Lou Gehrig’s disease) andParkinson’s disease.

To be clear, yawning isnot usually a sign of disease.It’s usually just a sign thatyou’re human.

• Write to Ask DoctorK, 10 Shattuck St., SecondFloor, Boston, MA 02115.

No one theory canexplain why we yawn
