Sam Schmitz has announced his retirement as President of Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois and Wisconsin Stateline Area, Inc. after serving as President since Jan. 7, 2008. Schmitz will stay on as Presi- dent until a replacement is found which is anticipated to be the spring of 2018. “Sam has been an extraordinary leader for our organization over the past 10 years. While we’ll miss him as he transitions to retirement, we’re grateful for the team he’s built to carry on Goodwill’s mission in our community,” stated Brian Reck, Goodwill’s Board Chairman. Under Schmitz’s leadership the agency has grown from a $4.4 mil- lion in revenues, employing ap- proximately 250 people in 2008 to a $17 million agency with over 540 employees today. The agency will serve an esti- mated 20,000 individuals in 2018. Schmitz stated, “I feel good about playing a role in our success. Good- will has a strong, committed and supportive Board of Directors and a tremendous leadership team. Our employees work hard every day to build revenues in order to help people get to a better place in life through our mission activities. “I will certainly miss going to a job day-in and-day-out, where you know that your work helps people enhance their own lives.

During the holidays, households typically go through a lot of batter-ies. This season, McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) is offering residents a way to recycle depleted single-use non-recharge-able household batteries (sizes AA, AAA, C, D and 9-volt). For a lim-ited time the Health Department is collecting these batteries from resi-dents at no cost.
Statistics from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tell us that Americans throw away more than three billion batteries each year.
That’s about 180,000 tons of bat-teries. More than 86,000 tons of these are single use alkaline batter-ies. Kristy Hecke, Solid Waste Man-ager for MCDH, reminds people “Before pitching those spent batter-ies into the trash, stop…think…and recycle them at MCDH! Recycling is an easy way to reduce waste from disposal in sanitary landfills, im-prove sustainability efforts and pro-
tect the environment.” This single-use non-rechargeable
battery recycling opportunity is be-ing piloted as an economically vi-able and environmentally sound op-tion for single-use non-rechargeable batteries while helping to preserve landfill capacity.
All of the batteries collected will be shipped to Battery Solutions, a United States-based battery recycler where the batteries are separated by chemistry and recycled into materi-als such as zinc and manganese con-centrate, steel, paper and plastic.
Through January 31, 2018, resi-dents may bring single-use alkaline AA, AAA, C, D and 9-volt batter-ies to MCDH, Building A, 2200 N. Seminary Ave. in Woodstock.
The Health Department is open from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more informa-tion visit the Health Department website at www.mcdh.info or con-tact Kristy Hecke at 815-334-4585.

Profound statements are not typi-cally expected from cable documen-tary television series, but when Penn Jillette asked, “why is anyone fighting food advancements? A very small per-centage of the world’s population is fortunate enough to have the luxury of turning down food,” on Penn and Tell-er: BS! it made me stop and think. Why is it that American’s turn away from
certain foods when other countries are struggling to find food, and why is it that other countries don’t have the food supply that we do? The answer to both: technological advancements in food production. Here in the U.S., and in many other parts of the world, technology is being incorporated into production agriculture to provide a more reliable, sustainable, and cost effective food source. However, less than 2% of the population is involved in producing these foods, therefore
there is a major disconnect between the producers and the consumers, and the luxury of choices can become an issue. On the other hand, the technol-ogy that is readily available for farm-ers in the U.S. and other industrialized countries, called biotechnology, is not feasible in developing countries. This drastically changes the food supply from one to another. With this in mind, it makes sense that this profound state-ment made by a glorified magician, is presented in the introduction to one of
A farmer discusses biotechnology and its benefitsthe most renowned agriscience pod-casts available, “Talking Biotech.”
This podcast series by Dr. Kevin Folta, Professor and Chairman of the University of Florida’s Horticulture Department focuses on the advance-ments of biotechnology in food pro-duction. He interviews farmers and food growers from all over the world who are implementing biotech crops on their own farms and shares with his audience of both food growers and consumers, the benefits of these mod-ern farming methods. From GMOs to gene selection, Dr. Folta covers all types of biotech methods which have all positively impacted the food sources in technologically advanced countries. Because there is a scarcity of pro-biotech communication ef-forts that support these methods, Dr. Folta’s podcasts are for the purpose of advocating for these methods, through science based public educa-tion, proving that genetic engineering and biotechnology is beneficial for the farmers, consumers, and the environ-ment. Dr. Folta uses the genre of inter-view to boost his credibility and ethos to accomplish his goal of advocacy for technology in food production.
In a podcast from Folta’s series back in February, he interviewed Rob Sharkey, a central Illinois Farmer and Twitter extraordinaire. During this in-terview Folta was able to tackle two very important, but very diverse is-sues in agriculture. How do biotech seeds affect the end user? And what does it take for a farmer to tackle so-cial media? Folta explained the ru-mor that some “experts” claim that farmers were forced to buy seeds they didn’t want, because companies controlled their farms. Because Folta is not a farmer, his knowledge on the subject could be perceived as invalid, although it was correct. He was able to ask Rob about the issue and from
experience, Rob shared that he has been growing traited seeds his entire life, or at least as far as he can remem-ber. Folta didn’t even have to mention the disconnect between producers and consumers but again, Rob was able to speak from experience and assure the listeners that advocating for your farm and the industry as a whole is difficult, but it is necessary. He shared the ben-efits he has seen directly since he has become an outstanding advocate for agriculture with his own podcast se-ries and an influencer to his followers on social media. In the end, Folta and Rob Sharkey together were able to direct their message towards the pro-ducers listening and encourage them to amplify their message in a similar way.
If Folta was to take on these two subjects alone, he would not have come across as reliable. As men-tioned, the education he has makes him knowledgeable on these top-ics. However, he cannot claim to be a farmer so proving these points be-comes a little more difficult. Instead of the “take my word for it” approach, Folta found a farmer who was willing to share his story, and in turn, made the gap between producers and con-sumers a little smaller, something that Folta could not have done alone.
As you can see, the use of interview by Dr. Folta is helpful in achieving his goal of advocacy for biotechnology. He engages with industry profession-als who are able to give a little more individual insight than Folta has by himself. As much as I think Dr. Folta is able to prove these points on his own, due to his knowledge and ex-perience in the industry, it is always a boost of credibility when two people are able to agree and achieve the same answer: biotechnology in food pro-duction is beneficial in many different aspects.
Illinois has produced many out-standing and game-changing ath-letes, so it’s a tough job to create any top 10 list.
The Illinois Press Association and Illinois Associated Press Media Editors enlisted longtime Chicago Sun-Times sports reporter Mark Potash for the job. Here is his list of the top 10 athletes from Illinois.1. Red Grange, Wheaton
The early days of professional football were not pretty or promis-ing — obviously not televised but also casually recognized. The Bears and Cardinals were relegated to secondary pages of the sports sec-tions in Chicago, with college foot-ball dominant and even high school football more prominent.
And more than that, pro football was a second-class citizen in Ameri-can sport — considered substandard to college football and to some, an unseemly, disrespected profession. The best college players didn’t au-tomatically go to the National Foot-ball League.
Red Grange helped change all of that. The running back from Whea-ton and the University of Illinois rivaled even Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey as an American sports star in the 1920s. When he signed with the Bears out of Illinois in 1925, he almost single-handedly changed the face of the NFL — giving it an instant credibility that was reflected in banner headlines and sell-out crowds.
Grange’s debut with the Bears on Thanksgiving Day drew 36,000 fans at Cubs Park — the largest crowd in the then-brief history of the fu-ture Wrigley Field. Ten Days later, Grange drew a record 65,000 to the Polo Grounds for a game against Tim Mara’s fledgling New York Gi-ants — an event that without exag-geration is credited with not only saving that franchise, but leaving an impression on Eastern sports writers that further legitimized pro football. On a winter barnstorming tour fol-lowing the season, Grange and the Bears drew a record 65,270 to the Los Angeles Coliseum.
As it turned out, Red Grange’s impact on the field would never match all of that. While playing for the New York Yankees in 1927 af-ter a salary dispute with the Bears, Grange suffered a knee injury and missed the 1928 season. He re-turned to the Bears in 1929, but had lost the speed and agility that made him a superstar. He made his mark as an outstanding defensive back — most notably making a touchdown-saving tackle on the final play that clinched the Bears’ 23-21 victory over Giants in the NFL champion-ship game. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963.
All things considered, no player from Illinois has had more impact on a sport than Red Grange. He was a four-sport star at Wheaton High School who scored 75 touch-downs. He became a superstar as a three-time All-American at Illinois who famously rose to the occasion of the big game when he scored four touchdowns in the first quarter against Michigan in 1924 at newly dedicated Memorial Stadium — a 95-yard return of the opening kick-off, plus runs of 67, 56 and 44 yards. In those days he was a larger-than-life star, his No. 77 was almost as famous as he was. And even then, the best was yet to come. 2. Dick Butkus, Chicago
The greatest tribute to Dick But-kus’s fabulous NFL career is that as time passes and the linebacker posi-tion evolves arguably more than any in football — bigger, faster, greater athletes with triple-digit career sack numbers — his stature continues to grow. The former Vocational High School and University of Illinois star still is No. 3 in most linebacker rankings. Some still say he’s there greatest linebacker to play the game. The Butkus Award is given to the best linebacker not only in college,
but in high school and the NFL. Why? Because even with all-time
greats such as Lawrence Taylor and Ray Lewis joining the best-of-all-time discussion, there always will only be one Dick Butkus. As the late Doug Buffone often said, “To play this game you have to have the Ne-anderthal gene — Butkus had two.”
But Butkus’ greatness lies deeper than that. It’s almost a shame that Butkus’ reputation as a mean, an-gry, dirty player overshadows the reality that he was one of the most instinctive, disciplined, fundamen-tally sound and opportunistic play-ers ever. He had a knack for being in the exact spot to make that brutal hit. And he had great hands. It’s al-most ironic that Butkus, despite his reputation, was one of the cleanest, surest tacklers of all-time.
He was named to the All-Pro team five times and the Pro Bowl eight times. In 119 NFL games, he had 22 interceptions and 27 fumble recoveries. And the ferocity with which he played was real. Buf-fone, who played next to Butkus for seven years, often recalled look-ing at a frothing Butkus on the field and thinking, “I’m glad he’s on my side.” 3. George Mikan, Joliet
At 6-10, George Mikan was the first superstar of professional bas-ketball — the first big-man who could run the floor and dominate at the rim on both ends. His im-pact forced three rules changes: goaltending, widening of the lane and the 24-second clock. When he played with the Minneapolis Lak-ers in 1949, the marquee at Madi-son Square Garden said it all: “GEO MIKAN V/S KNICKS.”
An awkward, un-athletic prospect from Quigley Prep/Joliet Catholic, Mikan flourished under Ray Mey-er’s tutelage at DePaul, becoming a three-time All-American and two-time Player of the Year in college. He won seven professional league championships, including one with the Chicago American Gears of the fledgling National Basketball League and six with the Lakers.4. Isiah Thomas, Chicago
The epitome of the head-strong, will-to-win Chicago point guard, Isiah Thomas parlayed his innate skills and determination into su-perstardom and championships. A west side native, he took St. Joseph High School in Westchester from anonymity to second place in the Class AA state tournament in 1979. He led Indiana to the NCAA title in 1981 and was the spark plug on the Pistons’ back-to-back NBA titles in 1989 and 1990.
Thomas was a 12-time NBA all-star and was inducted into the Nai-smith Hall of Fame in 2000.5. Jackie Joyner- Kersee, East St. Louis
A basketball and track star at East St. Louis Lincoln and UCLA, Jack-
ie Joyner-Kersee made her biggest mark in international track compe-titions, particularly the Olympics, where she won six medals in four different Olympics — including a silver medal in the heptathlon in 1984 in Los Angeles and gold in the heptathlon in 1988 in Seoul and 1992 in Barcelona. She was named the greatest female athlete of all time by Sports Illustrated for Wom-en in 1990.6. Otto Graham, Waukegan
The Big Ten Player of the Year at Northwestern — where he also played basketball and baseball — in 1943, Otto Graham became a prolific quarterback and one of the great leaders of pro football history. He won seven league titles with Paul Brown’s Cleveland Browns in the old All-American Football Con-ference (1946-49) and NFL (1950, 1954 and 1955) and three NFL Most Valuable Player awards (1951, 1953, 1955). 7. Ray Nitschke, Maywood
A rough-and-tough, fierce com-petitor from Proviso High School, Ray Nitschke was a third-round draft pick by the Packers out of Il-linois who was at the right place at the right time — becoming an in-timidating force as the leader of the great Packer defenses in the Vince Lombardi era.
Nitschke won five NFL champi-onships with the Packers, including the first two Super Bowls. He was the MVP of the 1962 championship game. 8. Jimmy Connors, Belleville
The “Brash Basher of Belleville,” as tennis guru Bud Collins called him, the East St. Louis native was a gritty, gutty, unconventional player and non-conformist who is credited with sparking a re-birth in Ameri-can tennis in the early 1970s. Jim-my Connors won eight Grand Slam titles, a record 109 singles titles and was ranked No. 1 in the world for 268 weeks, including a then-record 160 straight from 1974-77.
In 1974 at age 22, Connors went 99-4 and won 15 tournaments, in-cluding three Grand Slam events — the Australian Open, U.S. Open and Wimbledon. He was barred from the French Open (the second leg) because of a contract with the World Team Tennis, costing him a chance to win the Grand Slam. 9. Lou Boudreau, Harvey
A Hall of Fame shortstop with the Cleveland Indians, Lou Boudreau had one of the greatest baseball seasons of all-time as player/man-ager in 1948. He won the Ameri-can League batting title (.355) and MVP award and led the Indians to the World Series championship — the only title the Indians have won since 1920. Great knack for leader-ship, Boudreau won a state title in basketball as a sophomore at Thorn-ton and Big Ten titles as team cap-tain in basketball and baseball at
Illinois.10. Bonnie Blair, Champaign
Bonnie Blair won five gold medals at three different Olympic Games, capped by a dominating performance in 1994 at Lilleham-mer, when she won the 500-meters
(by 0.36 seconds) and 1,000 meters (by a record-1.38 seconds) by wide margins. She was the first American to win an event (the 500-meters) in three consecutive Olympics. She won the Sullivan Award as the best amateur athlete in the U.S. in 1992.

High school sporting events are of-ten inspirational. The athletes on the field, court, track or ice give it their all and are beyond fun to watch. For many of them, this is the pinnacle of their sports careers and they deserve our attention and respect. Seldom, however, does the crowd take the spotlight.
This is exactly what happened at a local game in my small town, but I believe it could happen anywhere, at any time. I’m just glad I got to be a part of it.
As is the custom, the national an-them is the traditional start to many high school activities. It puts a serious and thoughtful beginning to whatever game the players came to play and the crowd came to watch.
As the anthem has made headlines recently, it makes most of us more cognizant of its meaning and how we choose to demonstrate our own par-ticipation in this established national practice.
We all have differing views on the
recent headlines, which is our right, and I’m not going to address the an-them issues that have been in the news. But I do want to relate some-thing that happened at a high school event I recently attended. Because, in a word, it made me proud.
Before our game the anthem began. It was piped over a speaker system – a taped version, no real, live perfor-mance. But it was all good.
My husband and I were standing directly behind the flag. He stood with his right hand over his heart, as is his custom. I stood at attention, singing silently along to the words.
“Oh say can you see, by the dawn’s early light…”
And then, right after, “through the perilous fight,” the speaker system went unexpectedly silent.
You can imagine, the absence of sound in a situation like this feels huge. Nevertheless, I continued sing-ing, albeit silently, just mouthing the words. (I have been told my voice is best left silent, unfortunately.) “O’er the ramparts we watched…”
And then, softly, ever so softly, I heard voices in cadence with my mouthed lyrics. They were subdued at first, but gained momentum with each word. I joined their forces – as loud as I dared (given my bad voice and all).
“Were so gallantly streaming.” This part was barely audible. And then things got louder.
“And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there…” The crowd picked up where the sound system quit. It was nothing less than magical and miracu-lous and energizing.
By the end, the entire crowd was
participating and it was one of the most powerful spur of the moment events I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of. We were from differing high schools, each hoping for our own team to win, but when it came down to the national anthem, we all joined forces and completed the chorus when the sound system went down.
I can’t remember if our team won or lost that day, but I will forever remem-ber the moment of the anthem, when we all came together and finished it together because we are Americans and that’s what we felt in our hearts.
And whether you choose to stand, kneel or sit, it’s moments like this that make it real, and make me proud to be a citizen of the greatest country I know.

National anthem brings teams together
On the 13th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a baker’s dozen donuts. He’s that kind of guy, so gen-erous, and he knows I have a sweet tooth. And why do we only sing about 12 days of Christmas? I now vote for 13.
On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a dozen eggs. And he made omelets for us. So yummy, and healthy, after eating all those donuts.
On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me an almost-doz-en roses. There were only eleven in the bunch, so the florist gave a dis-count. The soft velvet red roses look so pretty in the vase and who counts how many flowers are in there any-way.
On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me ten press-on nails. He knows I like to keep my fingernails short and groomed but thought it would be fun for me
to have sparkly long nails for the holiday parties. My true love is one thoughtful guy.
On the 9th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me the starting line-up of the 1894 Chicago White Sox baseball team. He knows I don’t give a rip about sports, but these nine ball players could give us an interesting historical perspective of the forma-tive years of professional baseball. We might write a book someday.
On the 8th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me an 8-count pack of Ball Park Franks. They plump
when you cook them and he thought it would be fun to share with the ball players. Except someone won’t get one, there’s nine of them. My true love should have bought two pack-ages of hot dogs. I think these fel-lows are hungry.
On the 7th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me the 7 Habits of Highly Successful People. He said he considered the seven dwarfs, and the seven castaways of Gilligan’s island, but they’re not real, and that a trip to see the seven wonders of the ancient world would have been too trite. I disagree.
On the 6th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a six-string gui-tar. It’s really for him though.
On the 5th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me five gold fish. He knows I like to name things, and that I don’t want anything that sheds or makes noise.
On the 4th day of Christmas, my
true love gave to me a 4-leaf clover. I’m feeling lucky!
On the 3rd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me three wishes. He even said one of the wishes could be for more wishes. He is much nicer than that old genie.
On the 2nd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me two tickets to paradise. He said to pack my bags and we’ll leave tonight. He said not to worry about the pet sitter for the five gold fish, the Sox dudes can handle it.
On the 1st day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a long lingering under the mistletoe take-my-breath-away kiss. Wow! What a guy! He does something to me. I think I need another donut!

Applications are being accepted by the McHenry County Historical Society & Museum for its annual Nancy Fike Scholarship.
Named in honor of the Society’s former administrator, MCHS awards a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior from a McHenry County high school who plans to study education, history, or the social sciences. This merit-based scholarship will be giv-en in the winning student’s name to his or her college /university.
Applicants must have a minimum 3.0 GPA, provide two letters of rec-ommendation (one from a faculty member and one from another rep-resentative of the community), show proof of community service, and write a minimum 500-word essay pertaining to McHenry County. Es-say topics will be announced each year by the Society. This year’s topic is:
In 2018, Illinois will celebrate its bicentennial – 200 years since it be-came a state. Choose an individual – other than Abraham Lincoln – who you think best represents Illinois. This person could be from govern-ment, the military, education or en-tertainment. However, he or she must have reached prominence be-fore 1990. Briefly summarize his or her life and explain the reasoning for your choice.
Students are urged to do research in their local libraries and, or, the So-ciety’s research library in Union. In some cases, interviewing a person(s) about the topic is advised. Smart phones are no substitute for smart people.
Essays will be judged on content, grammar, historical accuracy, origi-nality, and their bibliography (stu-dents are expected to cite their sourc-es). Applications, available online at GotHistory.org, must be submitted by April 9.
For additional information about the Nancy Fike Scholarship, call the Society at 815-923-2267, email [email protected] or visit www.gothistory.org.
