Morris police participating in ‘Below 100’ programBy HEIDI LITCHFIELD
MORRIS – The Morris Police
Department has joined a mis-
sion spreading through the na-
tion called “Below 100.”
According to its website, be-
low100.com, Below 100 is “an
initiative that aims to reduce
the line of duty deaths to below
100, a number not the [sic] seen
since 1944.”
Morris Police Chief Brent
Dite said he and two of his staff
attended training last year to
bring the initiative to Morris.
“There’s five tenants to the
movement: Wearing your seat
belt; watching your speed; wear-
ing your vest at all times; WIN,
which stands for ‘What’s Im-
portant Now?’ and, remember,
complacency kills,” Dite said.
He said the complacency
kills tenant is one many don’t
think about, but it is relevant in
many businesses.
“If you become complacent,
it’s not a good thing,” Dite said.
Morris officers are highly
trained, but they work the same
job, on the same beat that they
all know, and with that can
come complacency.
Officer Ben Wiechen attend-
ed the training with Dite and
Deputy Police Chief John Sever-
son. He said the most important
aspect of the training was learn-
ing about complacency.
“You can get complacent in
all types of jobs, and with many
of them it can kill you,” Wiech-
en said.
The safety measures taught
with the “WIN – What’s Import-
ant Now?” component tells offi-
cers to ask what is more import-
ant at the time, such as speeding
to assist another officer, or get-
ting there alive to help him or
her?
“Our officers are the most
important resource we have
at the department,” Dite said.
“Anything they do to be safe is
worth it.”
Wiechen said he has been in
an accident on the job that prob-
ably could have been avoided, if
he had this training.
“Once you listen to the in-
structors, and they ask you, ‘If
you wrap your car around a
pole, how are you helping your
fellow officer?” you get it,”
Wiechen said.
The training, he said, should
be part of academy training for
all officers before they hit the
streets.
“I enjoyed the class,” Wiech-
en said. “They should rotate this
training to all academies, and
they should spend at least one
day to go over it, especially the
young officers.”
Dite said the department has
instituted a new policy after
attending the training – all offi-
cers must wear bulletproof vests
while on duty.
“Sometimes in small-town
America, officers don’t wear
vests. We need to wear vests,”
Dite said.
Other aspects touched on the
need to wear seat belts. Dite said
too many people are killed while
not wearing a seat belt, whether
an officer or the public.
“I wish I could convey to
wear your seat belt, whether
you are an officer or the pub-
lic,” Wiechen agreed. “There
are consequences for it, either a
ticket or your life.”
Wiechen receives texts
whenever an officer dies any-
where in the United States, and
far too often it’s a traffic acci-
dent or a heart attack. He said
all officers need to take as many
precautions as possible.
The three also took “train the
trainer” classes while there and
brought back what they learned
to Morris’ officers.
“Below 100” stickers are on
each vehicle used by the police
force.
“When we came back from
training, we placed the sticker
on the window on the driver’s
side door, so every officer sees
it as they get in their car, and
it reminds them to be careful,”
Dite said.

MORRIS – Grundy CountyAnimal Control officials aregetting frustrated by prob-lems with the ventilation sys-tem in the building, and thecompany that installed it lastyear.
“It’s not going good,” An-imal Control Director JuneKrull said to the GrundyCounty Board’s Facilities/Law and Justice CommitteeThursday afternoon.
Krull said most recently,problems in the air conditionunit led to the dog kennel’stemperature lowering to 45degrees.
The center houses stray orabandoned dogs and other an-imals and places them up for
adoption.
Temperature problemsKrull said a maintenance
employee from Precision
Control Systems, the compa-
ny that installed the system
as part of the animal control
building’s renovation, tried
several modifications, but
problems keep popping up.
“I honestly don’t know,”
Krull said. “The company is
changing its story. It says one
thing, then something else.”
Krull said the employee
has installed a freeze stat to
prevent pipes from freezing
and worked on other solu-
tions, but something keeps
going wrong with other parts
of the system.
Representatives for the
company couldn’t be reached
for comment Thursday night.
Several members of the
committee and other officials
were dismayed by the news.
“Wow, poor dogs,” Grundy
County Sheriff Kevin Callah-
an said, shaking his head.
Debra Jo Kinsella, vice
chairwoman of the commit-
tee, said she was trying to
catch up on the issues.
“For the last two meetings
it seems like [animal controlis] having consistent prob-lems with it,” she said.
Krull said the employeeis meeting with her Fridaymorning, and committeechairman Harold Vota di-rected Maintenance DirectorTony Arnold to accompanyKrull to get the problem fixed.
However, Krull said thenew kennels are workinggreat, and animal controlstaff are working on a sepa-rate space for larger dogs.
Life skills houseThe committee also tabled
discussion for the a plan tobuild a life skills house forspecial education students oncounty property to a specialmeeting planned for Feb. 13.
The “house” would be aschool for special educationstudents to learn life skills sothey can live on their own.The Grundy County SpecialEducation Cooperative andthe Grundy Area Vocational
Center are partnering for theproject.
The meeting starts at 4:30p.m. and will be at the coun-ty administration buildingat 1320 Union St. in Morris.County Board members willbe invited to join.
“I’m not ready to give ananswer myself,” committeemember John Galloway saidabout giving the center athumbs up on the plan beforediscussing liability and otherissues brought up Thursday.
Assistant State’s AttorneyChris Dearth said the coun-ty could be better off sellingthe land to the center insteadof leasing it to avoid liabili-ty costs that may come up forthe project.
There also was issues withthe location of the proposedskills house right next to theadministration building.
“I agree the project is awonderful project, but thiscommittee needs a specialmeeting,” Galloway said.
County Board ChairmanDavid Welter and the co-op’sboard Chairman Pat Halloranpresented an update on theplan to the committee, seek-ing direction on the project.
Halloran said they wouldlike to have the county’sblessings on the project byMay.
But Kinsella said thatwasn’t enough time, especial-ly for county property rightnext to the administrationcenter that could be sold forgood.
She asked if the co-opwould be open to moving theproject to next year if it tooktime for the board to deliber-ate.
“We are looking at all ofthose options,” Halloran said.“I understand it’s a huge deci-sion for the county, we wouldbe just as happy moving alongthat path.”
But for now, the Feb. 13meeting will focus solely onthe project.

Coal City school district prepares for future financesBy VIKAAS SHANKER
COAL CITY – Coal Cityschool board members dis-cussed Wednesday how toprepare for potential long-term financial difficultiesdue to state and local finan-cial hurdles, including pre-paring for a referendum.
One of those discussionscame as the Coal City Com-munity Unit School District1 School Board approved thefindings of a finance commit-tee that suggested the dis-trict begin preparations foran education or operationsand maintenance fund refer-endum.
The committee, made upof 15 residents, business lead-ers and government leaders,also concluded the schooldistrict should restructureits bond debt using a bal-anced approach, and use thereserve fund to complete nec-essary capital projects beforetax levy year 2018.
The reasoning behind therecommendations centeredon the district preparing fora funding shortfall at the endof its current five-year agree-ment with Exelon regardingproperty taxes on the Dres-den Nuclear Power Station.
Dresden, governmentfunding
The school district is in thefirst year of the agreement,which locks in the power sta-tion’s falling assessed valueat $510 million for propertytax purposes until 2019. Thatmeans the school district isreceiving about $15.9 millioneach year. But Superinten-dent Kent Bugg said the timeis now to start planning forwhen the agreement ends.
“Absent a re-licensing ofthe Dresden station and ab-sent of legislation that chang-es, there’s just no way theschool district can remainfinancially solvent withoutadditional revenue,” Buggsaid, forewarning the boardof a major loss of revenue onthe power plant’s EAV after
the agreement ends.The projected change in
the assessed value of the pow-er plant means the districtcould stand to lose a largechunk of the $16 million intax revenue per year it getsfrom the plant in the future.That amount is about two-thirds of the school district’sbudget, Bugg said.
“It is going to requiresome budget reductions, sowe have to get to work onthose reductions in the nextfew years,” Bugg said ofplans to keep the budget bal-anced as cuts in revenue oc-cur in the future.
Bugg said the school dis-trict is looking at what thosecuts may be, and a big partwill be to use some of the dis-trict’s reserve fund balanceto complete capital projectsnow so maintenance costscan be lower five years downthe road.
Shawn Hamilton, vicepresident of the school board,said a referendum may benecessary to keep the schooldistrict afloat.
“When Dresden accountsfor two-thirds of our reve-nue and [if] that goes away,we can’t financially survivewithout a referendum,” Ham-ilton said, adding the com-munity has been supportiveof the school district in thepast and could be for a futurereferendum.
Bugg also said the districtcould stand to lose $10 mil-lion a year if recent discus-sion about eliminating themachinery and equipmenttax progresses into law, andabout $1 million through thestate’s funding reform bill.
“And that’s not counting[Gov. Bruce Rauner’s] stateaddress,” Bugg said, refer-
encing Rauner’s State of theState speech taking a hardstance on the pension systemand freezing property taxes.
Other announcementsBugg also informed the
board of other announce-ments, including suggestionsfor a new auditorium man-ager position and the elim-ination of the spring par-ent-teacher conference.
Bugg said the auditoriumbuilt as a result of the lastreferendum hasn’t seen the
community shows that werepromised to voters. So an au-ditorium manager could at-tract those shows, as well asoversee maintenance of audi-torium equipment.
Also, because parents cansee their students’ grades on-line and with increased com-munication between parentsand teachers, Bugg said thesecond conference day couldbe swapped with an addition-al student attendance day.The fall conference will con-tinue.
“Absent a re-licensing of the Dresden station and
absent of legislation that changes, there’s just no
way the school district can remain financially solvent
without additional revenue.”

Minooka schools receive grants to preserve habitatsBy JESSICA BOURQUEShaw Media correspondent
MINOOKA – Monarch but-terflies may be losing habitatthroughout North America,but come this spring, the in-sects can rest their wingsin Minooka IntermediateSchool’s butterfly garden.
At least, that is the hopeof sixth-grade science teacherLauren Sowa and the 24 stu-dents in the school’s newlyfounded Environmental Club.The group is slated to plant abutterfly habitat in front of theschool as its first major proj-ect.
“We wanted to start thingsoff with a bang and get the stu-dents excited,” said Sowa, En-vironmental Club leader. “Ourfront flower bed is somethingthat parents, students andstaff members see when theypull up to the school. We wantto turn it into an eye-catcher.”
Thanks to a $997 School-yard Habitat Grant awardedlast week by the Illinois De-partment of Natural Resourc-es, Minooka IntermediateSchool can begin the gardenproject this spring.
Neighboring MinookaCommunity High School Dis-trict 111 also received a $1,000habitat grant to restore a prai-rie habitat, which doubles as areal-world ecology classroom.
This year, IDNR issued 32habitat grants. The grants sup-port any projects developingor enhancing wildlife habitatsat schools or other public spac-es.
“We want schoolchildrento learn about nature throughhands-on experiences,” IDNRDirector Wayne Rosenthalsaid in a news release issuedlast week.
Environmental scienceteacher Matt Minich said re-storing the 2-acre prairie, lo-cated at the district’s SouthCampus in Channahon, hasbeen a work in progress forhigh school students and staff.
The habitat was in disar-ray – overgrown with weedsand invasive species – untilthe school decided to restorethe natural prairie three yearsago when it received its firsthabitat grant. IDNR since hasselected the school every yearto continue the restorationwork.
Minich said the next big
step is a controlled burn. Theburn is scheduled “any daynow, when conditions areright” to replenish nutrientsin the soil and to burn off theremainder of a pesky superweed known as phragmites,which has taken over theschool’s habitat, Minich said.
Much of the prairie resto-ration is being completed withhelp from students and sci-ence staff.
“We still have a lot left todo,” Minich said. “What thisgrant money provides for isbuying the actual plants andgrasses we need for the prai-rie.”
Students at Minooka Com-munity High School alreadyuse the prairie as an outdoorclassroom to study ecology, bi-ology and natural history, butonce completed, more curricu-la will incorporate the native
habitat.“Students are used to a
classroom laboratory, but inscience, the nature and theworld is our laboratory. Byhaving this prairie here onour campus, it allows studentsto go outside and experiencethe relevant fieldwork,” Sci-ence Department Head DonnaEngel said.
Minooka IntermediateSchool will use its butterfly
garden to supplement class-room studies, Sowa said.
Unlike the high school, thisis the first year the intermedi-ate school was chosen for thegrant, and the school couldn’tbe more excited, Sowa said.
The club decided on a but-terfly garden after much dis-cussion. Sowa said studentswere especially concernedwith the declining populationand habitat loss of Monarchbutterflies, documented by theCenter for Biologic Diversityand several other scientific in-stitutions.
Aside from its ecologicalimportance, the butterflygarden will add a welcomingtouch to the school’s entrance.
“The flower bed has beenhere for five or six years andit looks OK, but we’re excitedto get something awe-inspir-ing in front of our building,”Sowa said. “Our school is sucha positive place, and we wantsomething that’s reflective ofthat.”
The grant money will pur-chase all the garden’s perenni-al plants, but additional dona-tions are coming from parents,local businesses and teachers.
All of the landscaping andmuch of the design will becompleted by the Environ-mental Club, with help fromlocal experts and parents.
All the students involvedwill have a stepping stoneinscribed with their nameplaced in the garden, and theschool’s Art Club is adding astudent-made sculpture, Sowasaid.
“Everyone has really pulledtogether,” she said. “We’re allvery excited.”

Band leader with Morris ties plays with guest, substitute musiciansBy JEANNE MILLSAP
Shaw Media correspondent
MOKENA – Jeff Rutter isa frequent substitute or addi-tion to the local band AcousticAvenue.
Rutter, of Bolingbrook, is aguitar player with the touringband Cryan’ Shames, as wellas the local band Scrambleand The Nightshift Orchestra(a Chicago wedding band). Hesaid it can be a challenge play-ing with different bands, butit’s a challenge he enjoys.
“I like the comfort of play-ing with regulars,” Ruttersaid, “but the stimulation ofthrowing caution to the wind,it’s actually a fun challenge.... Everyone brings a little dif-ferent flavor. Certain peopleare better at Beatles songs,certain people are better at’80s and ’90s stuff. As a team,you play to the strengths ofthe members.”
Acoustic Avenue, alsoknown as Electric Avenuewhen the band is “plugged,”played about 250 gigs lastyear, multiple times in Mor-ris, and 340 among all threebands, said Ron Romero ofMokena, a bassist (4- and12-string), vocalist, bookingagent through Romero’s StageRight Productions and onlyoriginal member of AcousticAvenue.
Romero also is a former
long-time resident of the Mor-ris area.
Busy scheduleRomero has a third band,
The Names, that includeshorn players. This translatesinto playing almost every day– and sometimes twice in aday.
With such a packed sched-ule, there are times whenone or more members can’tmake an engagement. So theband pulls substitutes froman unofficial musicians’ pool– people they know would fitseamlessly into their band fora night or two.
People like Rutter.“Jeff brings a whole slew
of songs that we don’t normal-ly do with the band,” Romerosaid. “He’s one of those guysyou can’t help but learn from,and he has this incrediblesense of humor. He knowshow to break into the audi-ence and make sure every-body really has a good time.He’s just a very powerful per-sonality.”
Other subs include tour-ing members of Paul Revere& the Raiders and The Buck-inghams. Occasionally, JolietJunior College music teacherChuck Morgan joins the band,Romero said, as does SkipGriparis of Bolingbrook.
Griparis, a guitarist andvocalist, has toured with Ol-
ivia Newton-John and New
Colony Six, and had a role in
the movie “Major League,”
Romero said.
Adding varietyThere are many advantag-
es to using subs: First, not
only does Romero get to play
with musicians he admires,
but he said the color they add
to the band is unbelievable.
“It ’s expansive to the
sound,” Romero said. “One
time, when we were practic-
ing in my basement, we hit
the first note, and it made
every hair on my arms stand
up.”
A challenge they enjoy

HOROSCOPE
Even the audience loves it whenthey mix things up a bit, Romero said,as every musician brings a differentflavor to the mix. Romero added he per-sonally enjoys learning from the subs– new music and new music theory, aswell as the challenge of playing familiarsongs in unfamiliar keys.
“When you play with good musi-cians, you have to keep up,” Romerosaid.
In the same spirit of camaraderie,Romero often has been a sub or an addi-tion to other bands, such as local bandsThe Chauffeurs, The Meteors and TheNew Invaders.
“If we need a sub, we’ll call someone
up from the musicians’ pool and say,‘Can you sub today?’” Romero said.“They say, ‘Sure – and by the way, canyou work with us next week?’”
Even when all of Acoustic Avenue’smembers are available for a perfor-mance, the band may hire extras forcertain events. And sometimes, othermusicians who attend an Acoustic Av-enue performance wind up jammingwith the band and becoming subs,Romero said.
Acoustic Avenue’s other core mem-bers are Jimmy Herter, of Homer Glen,who plays guitar, saxophone and flute;and Jim Alberico, of New Lenox, whoplays drums, keyboard, guitar and uku-lele. Alberico is a former member of thelocal band Vintage Wood.

Morris cheerleaders areset for state competition
By ROB [email protected]
MORRIS – Their season of-ficially began Nov. 1, but theyhave been working out since thesummer. During the competitiveseason, they are involved sixdays a week. In the month of Jan-uary, they had all of two days off.
They are dedicated. Theywork hard. They are athletes inevery sense of the word.
They are the Morris Commu-nity High School cheerleaders.
“These girls work hard,”head coach Kristin Sanders said.“They go two minutes straight ofstunts, jumps, yelling and dance.It takes a lot of athleticism andteamwork.”
Last weekend, all that hardwork paid off as Morris finishedsecond in the Medium Team di-vision at the Bartonville Lime-stone Sectional. That earned theteam a spot in the IHSA statefinals at U.S. Cellular Coliseumin Bloomington on the IllinoisState University campus. Theybegin performing at 9:17 a.m. to-day in the preliminary competi-tion, with hopes of advancing toSaturday’s finals.
“We want to hit clean andmake it in the top 10 the firstday,” senior co-captain MeganMcComb said. “If we make it tothe second day, we will just doour best and see what happens.”
During last weekend’s sec-tional, Sanders said the teamposted its highest score of theyear. It’s something she’d like tosee again this weekend.
“We are pretty young,” shesaid. “We only have two seniors[McComb and Kelsey Hider]. Butthe girls are all so talented that
I am not surprised at what theyhave done.
“We started out the season alittle slow, but we have gottenbetter as the year has gone on.We got our best score of the yearlast week, and we hope we cancarry that momentum with usinto this weekend.”
Sanders is assisted by Ash-ley Cook and Ali Ergo, and theyhave what they feel is a secretweapon in MCHS principal Kel-ly Hussey on their side. Husseyhelps with the tumbling for theteam, but his main purpose is asa motivator.
“Mr. Hussey has been veryfun to work with,” Hider said.“He’s very helpful.”
Even though they competetogether almost every weekend,it’s the down time that standsout for the captains.
“My favorite part of the sea-son has been the cheer parties,”Hider said. “That’s when we justget together and hang out, eat,watch movies. These girls are alot of fun to be with.”
With the team graduating sixseniors from last year’s squad,there is a different look for thisyear’s club.
“Last year, we had reallystrong leadership with six se-niors,” McComb said. “Thisyear, there’s just two of us, so it’sa little different. We do differentroutines every year, so it’s beenfun learning new stuff this year.We really like it.”
“I am anxious and excitedabout Friday,” Hider said. “Iknow it’s going to be great beingin that big arena, but I am goingto be sad when it’s over becauseit’s our last performance togeth-er.”

The other day, I turnedaround in my classroom towrite something on the board.This in itself is a terrifyingthing for a teacher to do. Theantics that possibly take placewith a turned back are fodderfor nightmares. This one time,though, things differed.
About part way through asentence I had painstakinglyconstructed, I heard one wordfrom behind me. Look. Themuffled sounds of studentsturning within their seatscaused me to do an about-faceof my own. Every child inthe class focused their atten-tion out the windows of myclassroom. I soon realized whatphenomenon captured theirfascination in ways I wished Icould. Snow.
The world on the other sideof the pane of glass glistenedwith fat flakes as they spiraledtoward the ground. Sounds of
10-year-old pleasure emanated
throughout the room. They
were so excited, the only way
to divert their sidetracked
focus was to close the blinds.
As I continued on with my
lesson, I laughed to myself.
What is it about snow that
brings out the kid in all of us?
Yes, I know. We do a lot of
grumbling about it, too, but
deep down, the childhood in us
reawakens.
A friend of mine told me
about her son today. During
the aftermath of the blizzard
this past weekend, he excitedly
hurried out to play. Shovels
and dogs accompanied him,
through the deep stuff, to the
ultimate building site. With un-
bridled excitement, he worked,sculpted, adjusted and built.
Some time later he crashedinto the house begging hismother to come and see whathe created. Of course, like allgood moms, she donned thewinter gear and followed herboy to witness the marvelof construction that MotherNature so generously providedthe natural resources for. Shethen watched him crawl intoan igloo, with the dogs, andplay. How fun. Oh, did I men-tion the boy is in college?
Humans aren’t the onlylife forms who succumb to thepower of the flurry. My doggoes wacko, as well.
When we open the doorto take her out, and she firstnotices the snow, she stops.The first time this happenedyears ago, I thought maybefear or confusion set in. Nope.Soon after the grand pause, her
tail pounds to-and-fro and thebounding begins.
She can’t simply walkthrough the snow. No, sheinsists on pouncing like a cathyped up on Mountain Dew. Ithrow her ball and she crashesthrough the white blanketcovering the yard. When shefinally locates the toy she leapswith incredible might. Whenshe eventually lands, herhead lunges into the depths toretrieve the prize.
On her way back to me theonly thing I can see throughthe alabaster beard is her eyes.It makes me belly laugh andenjoy our time together. Herbeing so happy outdoors radi-ates onto my face in the form ofa toothy smile.
Apparently all my neigh-bors enjoy the results of theblizzard, as well. Snowmobiles,four-wheelers, and otherwinter toys pierce the country
air with engines roaring andpeople screaming with elation.It doesn’t end there.
Who else noticed that thislast ginormous snowfall wasperfect for constructing snow-men? Everywhere I go thereis an entirely new populationof the winter figures parkingthemselves on front yards.Some hold signs, others sportsmiles, while even more wearremnants of old hats, mittens,and scarves.
Yes, I understand thatthe storm that walloped uscauses stress, accidents, dirtycars, and a myriad of othersailments. But, it undeniably,inexplicably, causes our youth-ful roots to burst forth withoutdoor enthusiasm. Enjoyyour time outside this winter.

We still have absolutelyno idea what Bears generalmanager Ryan Pace andcoach John Fox think of JayCutler.
We assume Fox has deter-mined his name isn’t Jake?
With the recent contractextensions for Al Louis-Jeanand DeDe Lattimore, it ap-pears Pace has completed thebinge-watching he promisedof the Bears’ entire 2014 sea-son, but we have yet to hear apeep about Cutler.
Let’s assume for the mo-ment, because of economicsand market conditions, it’slikely Cutler will go to train-ing camp in Bourbonnais inJuly as the Bears’ startingquarterback for at least onemore year.
Unlike the long line ofcoaches Cutler allegedly has“killed,” offensive coordina-tor Adam Gase and quarter-backs coach Dowell Loggainsare going to survive past 2015regardless of what happenswith Cutler.
With everything elsePace and Fox have to worryabout, why not give Gase andLoggains one crack at theNFL quarterbacks version ofRubik’s Cube?
The question we should allbe focused on right now isn’twhat do the Bears do aboutCutler, it’s what should theydo at the position in additionto Cutler?
I was asked Thursdaywhich current NFL veter-an the Bears should pluckin free agency to challengeCutler.
The answer is none. Thelast thing the Bears need orwant is Cutler on the benchas a $17 million backup. Thatscenario could create lockerroom, huddle and sidelineissues even Henry Kissingerwouldn’t want to tackle.
The reason the Bears needto address quarterback infree agency is their own 2014backup, Jimmy Clausen, is amember of this year’s class,and it’s unlikely the onlyother QB on the roster, DavidFales, is an answer.
It is instructive to consid-
er the NFL coach who drafted
Clausen out of Notre Dame
with the 48th pick in 2010 was
John Fox.
It is also worth noting that
after playing 13 games as a
rookie and compiling a 58.4
passer rating, the Panthers
were 2-14 and Fox’s contract
was not renewed, allowing/
forcing him to leave for
Denver.
After five years of try-
ing, there is no indication
Clausen is an NFL-winning
quarterback, and the Bears
can do better.
The truth is we know little
about Fales, but the fact the
Bears were afraid to put him
on the field Week 17 against
the Vikings after spending
almost an entire season with
the Bears last year speaks
volumes.
The Bears don’t need to
give up on Fales yet, but
counting on him as a No. 2
has Caleb Hanie written all
over it.
There are only two free
agent QBs that make sense
for the Bears: Jake Locker
and Matt Moore.
Locker was the
eighth player chosen in the
2011 draft, will turn just
27 in June and he showed
occasional flashes working
with Loggains in Tennessee
on the rare occasions he was
healthy.
Minimally, he works as
a No. 2, and if he could stay
healthy he might even be
able to become a No. 1 if this
proves to be Cutler’s last
season as a Bear.
Like Clausen, Moore’s
first NFL coach was Fox after
he went undrafted in 2007,
was cut in training camp by
the Cowboys and claimed on
waivers by the Panthers.
Moore has played well in
stints as a starter with the
Dolphins but was never ableto convince Miami he couldbe the starter.
He is one of the best No. 2sin the NFL.
If the Bears were tosign Moore in free agency,they would want to draft aquarterback as well, but theyhave way too much to tryto get done to risk the No. 7pick on Jameis Winston orMarcus Mariota.
Should UCLA’s BrettHundley make it to the third
round – which he probablywon’t – he’d be a steal.
Interesting later-roundpossibilities could be GarrettGrayson of Colorado Stateor Sean Mannion of OregonState, but the bottom line isit’s an unusually bad year tobe in the market for a quar-terback.

Who should Bears get to join Cutler at QB?
H. Rick Bamman file photo – [email protected]
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and former head coach Marc Trestman have a conversation on the sideline in the second half Nov. 23 at SoldierField against Tampa Bay. Cutler is the likely starter headed into the 2015 season, but who will back him up?
John Fox secured one of the finalmembers of his 2015 staff, hiring StanDrayton as running backs coach, theBears announced Thursday.Drayton has 22 years of coaching
experience under his belt, includ-ing the past four seasons servingas assistant head coach/runningbacks at Ohio State, where he wona national championship after the2014 campaign.Drayton made previous stops as
running backs coach at Universityof Florida (2010), Syracuse (2009),
Tennessee (2008), MississippiState (2004), Bowling Green(2000), Villanova (1996-99), Penn-sylvania (1995) and his alma mater,Allegheny (Pa.) College, in 1993.He was a graduate assistant
at Eastern Michigan (1994) andoffensive quality control/specialteams coach with the Packers from2001-03.With Drayton officially on board,
the Bears notified Skip Peete thathe won’t be returning in 2015.

1517OPINION
Ten biggest trends in acentury of Protestantism
Whatever was happening inside that “tum-ble-down shack” of a church at 321 Azusa St.in Los Angeles, the local newspaper’s edito-rial powers that be neither were amused norimpressed.
“Devotees of the weird doctrine practicethe most fanatical rites, preach the wildesttheories and work themselves into a state ofmad excitement in their peculiar zeal,” said aLos Angeles Times report.
Worshippers were “speaking in tongues”and claimed spiritual gifts to translate this un-known language, including words of prophecyuttered by women and men alike. Journalistsnoted that the Rev. William Joseph Seymour– son of former slaves – preached this revivalwas a sign of the end times and a great earth-quake soon would shake California.
The revival began April 14, 1906, four daysbefore the great San Francisco earthquake.A century later, the Pentecostal holinessmovement that began in the Apostolic FaithMission on Azusa Street continues to shakeglobal Christianity.
“People came from all over the world towitness what was happening on Azusa Street,and they took what they learned back withthem,” stressed Elmer Towns, 82, dean of theSchool of Religion at Liberty University, inLynchburg, Virginia. “But it’s important toremember that while thousands of peopleattended those meetings, the Apostolic FaithMission never had more than about 300 mem-bers. This was never a big church, at least notthe way we talk about big churches today.”
What mattered was its impact on globalChristianity, with the birth of 19 Pentecostaldenominations and movements linked toAzusa Street, Towns said.
Today, it’s impossible to study modernfaith without discussing Pentecostalism,especially in underground Chinese flocks,booming African churches and among bothProtestants and Catholics in Latin America.
That’s the kind of phenomenon Townsbegan studying eight years ago in one of hisDoctor of Ministry classes. The goal, he ex-plained, was to list 50 major changes in Chris-tianity during the past century and then selecta congregation that symbolized each trend.Students cut the list to 20 and researched 10in-depth, with the goal of finding “tools andtechniques” for 21st century church growth.
This also led to his latest book, “The 10Most Influential Churches of the Last Centu-ry.”
The project didn’t include Catholic and
Eastern Orthodox parishes because inno-vations and movements in those Christiancommunions – the world’s two largest – rarelyhappen at the congregational level, as is theProtestant norm, Towns said. He also avoidedstudying churches that had negative impacts.Here are the rest of his 10 influential Protes-tant churches:
2. Thousands of unnamed underground“house churches” in China, most of themPentecostal.
3. Ebenezer Baptist in Atlanta, which, un-der the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., symbol-ized movement toward racial reconciliation inchurch and society.
4. Yoida Full Gospel Church in Seoul,South Korea, which grew to 760,000 membersusing 35,000 “cell groups” in homes, coffeeshops, gyms and elsewhere.
5. First Baptist of Dallas, a pioneer in thegrowth of Sunday schools.
6. Scofield Memorial Church in Dallas,where the Rev. C.I. Scofield used his sermonsand a famous Bible study for educational,rather than devotional, purposes.
7. Willow Creek Community Church nearChicago, which developed “seeker-friendly”nondenominational services to appeal to theunchurched.
8. Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, Califor-nia, the “Jesus Movement” center that becamea model for Baby Boomer ministry.
9. Hillsong Church of Sydney, Australia,the global leader in contemporary “praise andworship” music and media for the young.
10. Thomas Road Baptist which, underthe Rev. Jerry Falwell, used radio, TV andmass-media marketing to expand its reach.
In addition to Azusa Street’s role in mod-ern Pentecostalism, Towns noted, it’s alsoimportant to remember the movement weak-ened many racial barriers. A century later,Pentecostalism remains one of Christianity’smost powerful forces promoting diversity inworship and leadership.

Right path forward for Internet
is public utility classificationFederal Communications
Commission Chairman TomWheeler finally confirmedWednesday his proposal to pro-tect high-speed Internet servicefor all Americans. He will askthe commission to reclassify itas a public utility under Title IIof the Communications Act.
This regulatory change isthe best way to preserve theInternet as a place where userscan access the informationthey want, when they wantit. A place where businesses– established companies andstartups alike – can compete ona level playing field.
Adopting the concept of “netneutrality” means the hand-ful of existing, but powerful,Internet service providers,such as Comcast, Verizon andAT&T, would be prohibitedfrom charging websites a pre-mium fee for faster access toconsumers, while relegating allother sites to a slow lane. Sucha two-tiered system could stifleinnovation.
The five-member FCC isscheduled to vote on a final pro-posal by Feb. 26.
So get ready. The fightto preserve net neutrality iswinnable, but citizens mustcontinue to make their voicesheard. More than 3 millionAmericans, including many
Seattle residents, flooded theFCC’s website last summer andfall.
President Barack Obamacould not ignore this outcry.Years after promising as a can-didate that he would protect anopen Internet, Obama finallycalled on FCC commissioners(whom he appoints) to “imple-ment the strongest possiblerules to protect net neutrality.”
The FCC’s best option isto reclassify broadband as autility, as it does the telephoneindustry. Of course, deep-pock-eted cable-industry lobbyistsclaim regulations wouldhamper their investmentsin broadband expansion andharm customers.
Really, they just do not wantoversight.
Visit the watchdog groupsat publicknowledge.org or free-press.net to learn about ways topreserve net neutrality. Thoseorganizations also provideresources to help people spreadthe word on social media andcontact their elected represen-tatives.
Tell Congress that an openInternet is crucial. Remind theFCC it exists to serve the publicinterest, not the profits of a fewprivate broadband companies.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
Erik Weihenmayer, who, on May25, 2001, became the only blindperson to reach the summit of MountEverest, said, “People get trapped intothinking about just one way of doingthings.”
That applies to a lot of inexpe-rienced bridge players. They learn“rules” like cover an honor with anhonor or third hand high and alwaysfollow them, even when it is wrong.Yes, all right, that is what sortsout the good players from the lesscapable, but usually, especially in thecard play, you have only two choices:Play high or low, or discard or ruff.Take a few moments to consider both,and you are likely to realize which iscorrect.
In this deal, South is in fourspades. West leads his diamond two.South takes East’s seven with his aceand leads the spade queen. East winswith his ace and returns the diamondjack. How should South continue?
South’s three-spade rebid wasgame-invitational.
Declarer seems to have 10 easytricks: five spades, two hearts, twodiamonds and one club. So, whenEast returns the diamond jack, it looksobvious for South to win the trickwith his king. Here, though, West ruffsaway the king, and declarer later losestwo diamond tricks to go down one.
Instead, South should let East takethe trick. Then declarer’s 10 tricks aresafe, South being sure of a seconddiamond trick even if East leads athird diamond.
Finally, note that if West couldovertake his partner’s diamond jackfrom an initial holding of queen-thirdand give his partner a ruff, the defend-ers would take only those three tricks.

Dear Abby: I am a widowerin my mid-80s, and have meta lovely widow, “Diane,” alsoin her 80s. What started as a“let’s do lunch” friendship hasdeveloped into a close, affec-tionate relationship. Neither ofus wants to take this to the nextlevel, but we do want to spendas much time together as wecan in the years left to us. Wehave a very active social lifewith friends and with Diane’sfamily who live in the sametown.
My daughters, who live inanother city and rarely visit,profess to like her and say theyare happy I have someone inmy life. But they have askedthat I be sensitive to theirfeelings of loss for my late wife,who died four years ago. Theydon’t want me to share what
we do and where we go, whichis hard when Diane is such apart of my life.
My problem is Diane andI want to spend a weekend inthe city in which my childrenlive to attend the theater. Wewill be sharing a hotel room.Do we tell them our plans andthat we would like to see themwhile there, or not? Diane isn’tcomfortable going behind theirbacks, but she also doesn’twant to cause a rift in myfamily. Neither do I. Whatwould you advise? – UncertainIn Maryland
Dear Uncertain: Your
daughters have told you theydon’t want you to share whatyou do with your lady friendand where you go, and I amadvising you to abide by theirwishes. If word should get backto them that you were in townand they ask about it, be honestand don’t lie.
And please, live everymoment of your life to thefullest in the time God allows,and don’t permit your family todiminish one minute of it.
Dear Abby: My older sisterand I are very close to our“Aunt Lil.” She has alwaysjokingly told us we are “herchildren, too” because she nev-er had any of her own and wasactive in our lives growing up.
Aunt Lil is in her late 60sand in declining health. Nowsingle, she smokes two packs
of cigarettes a day, but countsit only as one because they areslims. She also has high bloodpressure, high cholesterol, etc.
The other day, whilevisiting with my mom, AuntLil started complaining aboutgetting older and said howthankful she is to have mysister and me to take care ofher when she’s too old to takecare of herself. The two of usgave each other the “Not me ...you” look.
While we love her dearly,when the time comes, Aunt Lilwill be off to a nursing home orhave private home health care.Should we approach this withher now or wait and blindsideher if/when it becomes anissue? – Careful Planning InCalifornia
Dear Careful Planning: Having
been so close to you and yoursister since you were children,I can understand why AuntLil might have expected somekindness in return. However,because the two of you aren’tup to the task, she should betold now. It may provide anincentive for her to take bettercare of her health. Even if itdoesn’t, it might spur her tothink about her assets andplanning for her care or super-vision should she need it in thefuture. Because you don’t wantthe bother, suggest she involveanother trusted family memberor a social worker to watch outfor her if she’s no longer com-petent to manage her affairs.
