More worries now than when we were young Summertime is supposed to be fun for kids. Swimming, fishing, playing ball, bike riding, just being off school and hanging out with friends.

Many was the summer day when I would walk out the door about 8 or 9 in the morning with the only instruction being, “Be home for dinner.” Besides, the longer you lingered around the house, the better the chance was that someone was going to put you to work. If you were already gone when Mom or Dad decided the lawn needed to be mowed, you were in the clear for either another day or another week, depending on if they decided to do it themselves or get someone else to do it. Same went for weeding the garden, washing windows or other tasks.

Back when we were young, we didn’t worry about being kidnapped or taken somewhere and abused. I am more than reasonably sure that none of the neighborhood kids even knew what the word “abducted” meant.

I’m sure it happened in some places,

The fact that most kids carry cellphones with them makes it a little easier to feel safe in letting them roam a bit. But the worRob rywart in me tells me that the first thing an Oesterle abductor would do is get rid of the phone.

COVER STORY

Marseilles National Guard Training Center home for first-responder preparedness

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MARSEILLES – When there’s a disaster, whether it’s natural or manmade, it’s a comfort to know that those who respond are as well-prepared and knowledgeable as they can be.

The Illinois National Guard Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive Enhanced Response Force Packet (CERFP) at the Marseilles Training Center went through its final day of training June 23 before being tested for recertification the next day.

The team is made up of units that perform a variety of duties, such as search and rescue, decontamination, medical, fatal search and recovery, and command and control.

The search-and-rescue unit, Sgt. 1st Class Mike Markham said, has 50 people and their jobs are exactly as they sound. They will enter a scene and search for survivors to rescue and bring out. The 75-man decontamination unit’s job is to enter an area that has been compromised and decontaminate both the area and the people in it.

“The decontamination unit is more or less a glorified shower,” Markham said. He serves as the operations noncommissioned officer for CERFP. “With the nuclear facilities in this area, decontamination is one of the big things we focus on. It’s pretty much needed anywhere we may get called to.”

The medical unit is a 45-person team consisting of doctors and nurses who provide on-site medical assistance and can learn with local paramedics and ambulances what a patient needs quickly.

“The medical unit is there to stabilize those that need medical assistance and get them sent off to where they can get the further attention they need,”

Markham said.

The fatal search and recovery unit

consists of 13 members and is trained to enter a scene and bring out anyone who is deceased, as well as to work with the local coroner to transport bodies where they need to go. Meanwhile, the 16-person command and control unit functions as the behind-the-scenes coordinating branch of the operation.

CERFP members also are trained to perform in the same fashion as the local first responders do. When they are called out to a scene, work is done

smoother rather than risking one agency performing a task one way and another doing so differently.

“We work hand-in-hand with local fire departments and other civilian agencies to have the same procedures,” Markham said. “We’ve been doing this since the program started in 2004. We have to recertify every 18 months, and there has never been a time that we

Vigils held for teacher killed in crash

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Jan Wendling was a teacher, tutor, friend, peer, mentor and a strong believer in God. The community came together twice last week to honor her memory during two vigils at Shabbona Middle School, where those who loved her most – her students, fellow teachers and pastors – shared stories about the affect she had on their lives.

“She wasn’t just your teacher, she was like your mom and your friend,” Rori Griffin said after a prayer vigil held Thursday morning to honor Jan and Mark Wendling, who were killed June 21 when they were struck by an SUV while riding their bicycles on Old Stage Road. A 16-year-old boy has been cited with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, and authorities said earlier this week they continue to investigate the incident.

Mark worked as an engineer at the Exelon LaSalle County Generating Station in Marseilles, and Jan was a teacher at Morris School District 54.

Her former students and their parents gathered both Thursday and Friday outside the window to the classroom

Students both days had an opportunity to share a laugh about Jan’s love of her chalkboards, the traditional ones where you write on them with actual chalk.

They spoke of receiving handouts from the teacher that had chalk residue on them.

As each person finished his or her story, another person would share another fond memory, such as singing the quadratic formula, or the time Jan stopped them and talked about their life and how to deal with the pitfalls of being a teenager.

Retired teacher Carol Anderson, who spent many years teaching with Wendling, told the students how much Jan loved every one of them, noting she stayed after school and came in beHeidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com fore classes.

That love wasn’t just for the stuheads in prayer during a vigil held outside dents, said Dawn Wren, who was a fellow math teacher with Jan. She graduating classes loved Jan, and they spoke through tears about the love and friendship the two educators shared. all needed time to say goodbye.

Steffes also suggested keeping a bucket of water nearby to extinguish

the sparklers.

Many states, including Illinois,

outlaw most fireworks.

If someone is setting fireworks off at home, however, the American Red Cross recommends following these safety steps: • Never give fireworks to small children, and always follow the instructions on the packaging.

• Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.

• Light only one firework at a time and never try to relight “a dud.

• Never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials.

• Leave any area immediately where untrained amateurs are using fireworks.

MORRIS – As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, officials are reminding people to be safe in their celebration.

“People need to remember most fireworks are illegal in Illinois,” Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District Chief Tracey Steffes said. “If it goes bang, blows up, or shoots up in the air, it is illegal.”

Steffes said there is also danger in the legal fireworks that are available in Illinois, such as sparklers.

“They still burn at extremely hot temperatures,” he said. “If you are using them, make sure children are under adult supervision.”

He said despite the suggested age on packages, adults need to look at each child’s maturity level individually when deciding whether sparklers are safe.

Care should also be taken when deciding where to allow the children to use sparklers, Steffes said.

They should not use them around flammable liquid and should take precautions when using them around other people.

2017 GMC Acadia Offers Distinctive, Thoughtful Features SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese The 2017 GMC Acadia has been reinvented into a smaller, midsize crossover. The downsizing contributes to easier driving and parking, while the option to fold the second and third-row seats flat allows for ample cargo space. The 740-pound weight reduction gives Acadia better gas mileage and a more nimble ride.

The new Acadia was designed to provide a premium driving experience. Bold new wraparound headlamps, wraparound rear glass, projector-beam headlamps, and available halogen fog lamps with projector technology that help reduce glare and improve visibility in foggy conditions are new features.

The Keyless Open and Start allows access to all four doors when the vehicle senses your key fob approaching. The vehicle starts with the push of a button, and when exiting, the Acadia automatically locks within several seconds of the last door being closed.

A 2nd-row pullout console drawer, covered under-floor cargo area storage, 5 USB ports, rear climate controls, and a 120-volt power outlet are great options for passengers, as are the 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, the available IntelliLink with navigation, and Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM compatibility.

One of the most thoughtful and innovative features offered in the new Acadia is a rear seat reminder. This feature is activated when a second-row door is opened and closed before a trip. When Acadia is turned off, five audible chimes and a message in the driver information center remind you to check the second row, thereby reducing the chance of leaving a child alone in a hot car.

Other safety features include a Tow Vision Trailering system and the available Blind Zone Alert, Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Vision Camera systems. Traction Select allows the driver to select a drive mode, including All-Wheel Drive, Off-Road, Snow, Sport, and Trailer/Tow (all subject to availability). Come test drive the new 2017 GMC Acadia!

SENECA – Jeff Maierhofer wasn’t home when the tornado struck the family farm, but his wife and children were.

His family, along with seven of his neighbors who live in trailers, huddled together in the basement after reports of threatening weather and a possible tornado were announced the night of June 22 – one year to the day after the Coal City tornado that took over 800 homes.

“Thankfully their trailers were not hit, but we’ve lost two farmsteads, the one we live in and the farm around the corner,” Maierhofer said the next morning.

At least six tornadoes touched down that night in counties in north and central Illinois, causing structural damage near Marseilles, Seneca and Pontiac, according to the National Weather Service.

The first pronounced weather threat of the summer season resulted in a tornado touching down south of Interstate 80 in Marseilles at 8:59 p.m., then in Seneca at 9:10 p.m., according to the weather service.

The tornado in the Marseilles-Seneca area had an Enhanced Fujita rating

He talked about the barn lost at the farmstead of Bill Chapman, the house and outbuilding damage at homes of the Beldon and Ashton family. The barn that had stood at the farmstead of John and Carolyn Kinsella since 1850, that is no longer there.

There is an upside a week later, though. The crops that were laid flat the next morning and seemed like a complete loss have popped back up.

While there is debris in the fields, it appears that the income from the crops won’t be lost.

Maierhofer said locals have come out in full force and the family has received visits from the area FFA chapters, football team and cross country team, among others, to help clean up.

BRAIDWOOD – There’s a chance 911 calls to the Braidwood Police Department won’t be dispatched by WESCOM employees come February 2017.

The city of Braidwood has given formal notice to WESCOM, a consolidated 911 emergency dispatch service provider – also known as Western Will County Communication Center – that it intends to officially part ways with the service provider Feb. 9, 2017.

Braidwood Police Chief Nick Ficarello said Monday that “there have been issuespertainingtoqualitywithWESCOM services,” adding the city has to consider cost and what’s best for Braidwood residents. He said Braidwood would like to be a part of the new conglomerate at the sheriff’s department.

A proposed $5 million dispatch center has been added to designs for the future Will County sheriff’s facility on Laraway Road in Joliet, slated to open in March 2018. The new dispatch center would bring the county into accordance with a state law that mandates consolidation of dispatch agencies all over the state.

Will County is trying to convert from

six dispatch centers to three. The three centers would be WESCOM in Plainfield, Joliet’s dispatch center and the proposed Laraway Road dispatch center.

Centers in Crete, Frankfort, Romeoville and the Will County Sheriff’s Office center would be folded into the new sheriff’s facility center. Braidwood calls are dispatched from Plainfield.

WESCOM Executive Director Steve Rauter said he was not aware Braidwood is interested in joining the new dispatch center on Laraway Road. He said the two parties have not communicated lately, while Ficarello said talks are between attorneys for WESCOM and the city of Braidwood.

“We’d like to have [Braidwood] engage us in conversations,” Rauter said.

Rauter said Braidwood dispatching calls through another public safety answering point would increase the overall amount of dispatch calls in the county because WESCOM is still obligated to transfer calls to said point.

“The new building, at the earliest, would be open in 2018,” Rauter said. “I’m confused what their intentions would be [until then]. We’d prefer them not to leave. But we’d certainly need to know where to transfer those calls.”

Braidwood considers police split from WESCOM dispatch

Weather cooperating with Grundy farmers “We went from being a little on the wet side with a small window to plant, to being bone dry. We were worried if we didn’t get rain on the bean plants what would happen.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County farmers are faring better than others in Illinois when it comes to weather this year, farmer Matt Boucher said.

“We went from being a little on the wet side with a small window to plant, to being bone dry,” Boucher said. “We were worried if we didn’t get rain on the bean plants what would happen.”

But in Grundy County the rain came, and so did the soybean plants.

Other areas of Illinois, specifically in the southern part of the state, are in need of the rains that the northern portion has gotten that have missed them completely.

“I think it’s been interesting,” Grundy County Farm Bureau manager Victoria Wix said. “There is a drastic difference when you look at the overall. There isn’t all good or all bad.”

Boucher said his Grundy fields that have corn planted stalled out for 10 days, but once the rain started a couple of weeks ago, the plants have grown and caught up.

Corn grown in Grundy County for the most part is yellow dense No. 2 and is used to feed livestock all over the country.

Minooka D-201 board split on tech fee incentive

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – The hot topic for the Minooka District 201 board meeting last week was how to create an incentive for residents to enroll their children in schools in a timely manner, which has been a problem in recent years.

The district has had an influx of enrollment in late July and early August, which has caused a last-minute need to hire teachers and support staff.

Due to late enrollment for the 201516 school year, Jones Elementary Principal Rodney Hiser said he could not hand out all the class assignments before the first day of school, which has always been standard procedure.

“I didn’t want to assign kids to classrooms and then have to change their classes last minute because of late enrollment,” Hiser said during the June

22 meeting.

Superintendent Kris Monn said on top of late enrollment, home construction has grown and over the past three weeks 25 homes have sold in the subdivisions that feed into Jones Elementary.

Additionally, Minooka Elementary and Minooka Junior High are “predicted to bust at the seams” with students slated to register, with new students not in the count, he said.

Monn said the district has offered a $4 early registration discount incentive, but it was not successful.

One proposed idea was to intertwine a new technology fee with an incentive to register for the 2016-17 academic year.

This would give parents until June 30 to register to avoid paying the fee, but the idea was met with intense discussion and the board was split.

With $78,295 in student device lease

payments, $24,000 for DEPCO support and modules, $25,904 for instructional software and support, and 4,500 students, the fee per student would be $28.49 per year. Monn offered that rate and another rate of $16 for board discussion.

“To keep our total fee within the middle of the pack, administration is recommending a technology fee of $16 to be added to the current registration fee of $154 effective July 1, 2016,” Monn said.

Board members Curt Jebens and Ed Cronin were in favor of the proposal and Cronin was confident it would offer an incentive for people to register within the June 30 deadline to have the fee waived.

“If families don’t get the message, because it’s only a week away, I think we’ll get a black eye if families miss out on the discount because they weren’t aware of the offer,” board member Al

Skwarczynski said.

Jebens’ argument was that people move to Minooka for great schools and therefore should expect to pay for that service.

“Nothing is free. If they want to come to Minooka for a good education, they are going to get it, but it comes at a price,” Jebens said.

After a motion to accept the $28.49 technology fee and place a deadline of June 30 to entice families to register

by Jebens, which was seconded by Cronin, the fee failed with Skwarczynski, board member John Clucas and board President Jim Satorius opposed. Board members Doug Martin and Vicki Allen were absent.

Monn said the board will revisit the technology fee in spring 2017 as an incentive to register early. The board asked residents to register to help avoid the need for last-minute hires and classroom reorganization.

The fire lasted three minutes, was contained to the pump and did not affect the safe operation of the plant, according to a news release from the station. Both reactors remain at full power. Operators

promptly identified and extinguished the fire and no off-site assistance was necessary. An “Alert” was declared and later terminated, as required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. An Alert is the

second lowest of four emergency classifications established by the NRC. It was declared at 10:50 a.m. and terminated at 1:19 p.m., according to the release.

Lisbon woman realizes Paraguay dream

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent LISBON – When Lisbon resident Betsy Burnett packed her first Operation Christmas Child shoebox of little gifts for a poor child somewhere across the globe, she hoped it would begin a Christmas tradition for her family.

That year – 1994 – she had one child and packed one shoebox.

With the birth of her second child the next year, she packed two. The following year, she had three children and packed three boxes.

The project increased seemingly exponentially for the next few years until November, when she and a large volunteer team of hundreds packed 3,000 shoeboxes that were shipped to children in Tanzania.

Burnett is now area coordinator for Operation Christmas Child, and earlier this month she was able to take her dream trip to one of the organization’s distribution sites in Asuncion, Paraguay, to personally pass out some of the boxes.

“I was invited to go see firsthand the other side of the shoebox,” she said. “I’ve always loved packing the boxes. Just the idea that this one box

Those who would like to volunteer or donate may call Burnett at 815-736-6426 or email her at burnett.betsy@gmail.com. For information, visit www.samaritanspurse.org.

“They use [the boxes] as a tool to share the Gospel with the children and their families and their community,” she said. “They want to be the hands and feet of Jesus.”

Operation Christmas Child is a program of Samaritan’s Purse International Relief, whose website states the charity is a nondenominational Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world.

Burnett said she was taken aback at the joy and surprise on the faces of the children when they opened their Photo provided boxes.

At each distribution, the children Betsy Burnett, an area coordinator for Operation Christmas Child’s Three Rivers, Illiall opened their boxes at the same nois-Area Team, recently traveled to Paraguay. time.

The younger children just pull everything out at once and immediately explore and play, she said.

The older ones are a little bit more reserved.

Some even take a good look inside, then close the box and put the rubber bands back on to avoid others seeing their treasures.

The items packed inside are donated year-round by the many volunteers of Burnett’s team.

They might include a bar of soap and a washcloth; a toothbrush; a

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Shabbona math teacher Dawn Wren breaks down crying while holding her daughter’s arm as she speaks to those gathered at Friday’s vigil.

• VIGILS

Continued from page 6 when he came to work his first day, he found a present on his desk addressed to his new daughter.

He took it home and opened it with his wife, who asked “Who are the Wendlings?” He had to admit he had no idea at the time, but over his short time as Shabbona Middle School assistant principal, he quickly learned who Jan was,

and admired and respected her.

Off to the side, watching as the students spoke both days, were three dogs with blue vests on, covered in patches encouraging people to pet them.

As the vigil wrapped up, the students were encouraged to visit with the trained therapy dogs on hand to help comfort those who need it.

A banner was laid across a table with the handwritten notes of those present, who shared the love for their teacher in bright Crayola marker colors.

Callahan has declined to release the traffic crash report, noting that the investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Shaw Media has obtained a copy of the report, which Callahan confirmed was accurate. The crash report states the vehicle driven by the 16-year-old is owned by Chris Maier, District 54 principal, who resides in Seneca.

Messages left Monday afternoon with Maier were not immediately returned.

Janice Wendling was a math teacher in District 54. Mark Wendling worked as an engineer at the Exelon LaSalle County Generating Station in Marseilles.

The report states that the teen told authorities at the scene he did not see the people and didn’t remember what happened.

The report also notes the teen was joined at the scene by his mother as well as by Maier, who is described as a family friend.

Shaw Media is not naming the teen as he is a minor and is not facing charges as an adult. He has been issued a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

Another person at the scene reported that the driver of the SUV

threw something into the woods, according to the report. Police said they found a baggie, which field-tested positive as marijuana and later was weighed at 15 grams.

The driver told police the last time he used marijuana was two days before June 21, according to the crash report.

The driver was taken to Morris Hospital to be evaluated, according to the report. He also provided a blood and urine sample for analysis.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said his office is waiting for the investigation to be completed before deciding whether or what further charges might be filed.

Jerry White, president of the District 54 School Board, said the board is unaware of details of the investigation.

“The Board of Education is not involved in the police or legal investigation of this horrible incident, therefore we have no comment,” he said. “The board will continue to help the administration, staff and students through this difficult time.”

Interim Superintendent Al Gegenheimer – who will depart the district this week as Shannon Dudek is set to start Friday as the new superintendent – said he can’t make any comment, but his thoughts and prayers continue to be with all parties involved.

MORRIS – High summer temperatures have kept the staff at the City of Morris Pool hopping as community members cool off.

Jim Hitchcock, pool manager, said the facility has not reached capacity at any point this year, but there have been days where more than 400 people have come to spend their afternoon at the pool.

BELOW: Morris-raised director Jason Sheedy (left) talks about his film, “Patient,” in May in Madrid. young woman who was almost murdered by members of a suicide cult she had abandoned. She wakes up in a hospital and is haunted by the spirits of the deceased members of the cult who say they will kill her unless she gives them the soul of her young nephew in place of her own.

“Horror is one of my favorite film genres,” Sheedy said, “and it’s an easier genre to tap into. ... It’s good for a limited budget, and you can do it without huge actors. People go to it for the feeling, and not for the star.”

Sheedy’s always loved movies that go a little beyond reality. He said “Raiders of the Lost Ark” was what got him into filmmaking.

“I just like anything that has something supernatural,” he said, “not completely grounded in reality.”

“Patient” was shot mostly in Roswell, Georgia, about half an hour north of Atlanta. One reason it took so long to make, Sheedy said, was because he and most of the crew and cast had other jobs they were working at the same time. Sheedy himself works his “day job” at an Atlanta brand integration agency, editing commercials.

For the film, he made good use of his Morris friends. Alby Odum and Nathan Mata were the composers of the movie’s score, along with other collab-

orators.

His girlfriend, Meagen Lee, was the production designer.

One thing Sheedy has learned over the years is the importance of teamwork and respecting those with whom he works.

It’s not always that way in Hollywood, he said, but that’s the part of

filmmaking that gives him the most enjoyment.

Sheedy hopes to have a showing of “Patient” in the area sometime before the end of the year.

Currently, the film is in the hands of its sales agent. Sheedy’s body of work can be seen on his IMDb page, as well as various websites, such as YouTube.

MORRIS – From humble beginnings making videos and movies around his hometown of Morris, Jason Sheedy has just attained a rather esteemed milestone.

In May, his first full-length feature film, “Patient,” was named Best Film in the Dark Visions Section at the Nocturna Madrid International Fantastic Film Festival.

Sheedy is the film’s director.

“To be honest,” he said, “I was kind of surprised. It’s always surprising when you get an award.”

Sheedy has won awards before, most notably for his short film “Inkblots,” which he wrote and directed for his senior project at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2010. But “Patient” is his first professional fulllength film.

Sheedy has always loved movies, and his interest in making them goes back to the time he spent with his Morris friend Josh Wrobel, whose father filmed the two boys singing karaoke at the Wrobel house one day.

After graduating from Morris Community High School in 2004, Sheedy went to Joliet Junior College for two years, then graduated summa cum laude from SCAD in 2010.

His senior year, he won the coveted intern position at “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” the show’s first internship, and appeared on the show itself.

Since then, he’s worked in the television and movie business mostly in Atlanta, with a foray into the Hollywood movie scene for a few months.

It was when he lived in Los Angeles working post-production on movies that he realized he wanted to start making feature films. He gained a lot of experience working with Hollywood’s seasoned professionals.

His living circumstances, however, were not easy.

“I didn’t dislike L.A by any means,” he said, “but it was a point where I was at the bottom point of my career. ...

We pulled a futon out of the garbage because we had no furniture. ... It did put things in perspective. That’s when I realized I wanted to make a feature film. If I was ever going to direct a film, I knew we were going to have to do it ourselves.”

Partnering with producer Kyle Steinike, the two began the company ReturnStyle Pictures, and dove into the three-year process of making “Patient.” Sheedy brought with him his experience as director, writer, producer, sound designer, production manager, video editor, colorist, and actor in movies and television.

The film is a horror story about a

Chamber golf outing promotes great causes VIEWS Christina Van Yperen

MORRIS – The Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s 13th annual “not-so-classic” Golf Outing has come to a wrap, again successfully raising funds for Chamber programs and for the Grundy County Chamber Foundation scholarships.

It was a perfect day for golf June 17 at Nettle Creek Country Club in Morris.

About 60 golfers came to the event sponsored by D’Arcy Chevy Buick Cadillac, which brought out the latest Malibu and Silverado models for an up-close look.

Like all Chamber events, there was an emphasis on networking at the outing through the scramble format and specialty holes featuring activities to encourage interaction. Golfers took part in such activities as a marshmallow drive sponsored by Grundy Bank and new this year – a golf ball launcher with prizes from Buffalo Wild Wings.

The casual setting allows participants to build business relationships while enjoying the game. The Hawaiian theme was well represented from the start at the registration table sponsored by Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers and Country Financial Terri Gilmoure, to the golfers sporting their most obnoxious Hawaiian shirts.

I appreciate the fun atmosphere since I myself am an amateur golfer, and technically I can’t even call myself that yet since I literally just picked up a real golf club for the first time last

month through lessons with Nettle Creek golf pro Kurt Nolen.

In addition to the golfers getting to mingle with new and familiar business associates, our sponsors also get the opportunity to meet new costumers.

Exclusive Hole Sponsors ServPro of Morris/Ottawa and Regency Care of Morris spent time at their holes on the course providing refreshments and entertainment to the golfers while promoting their products and services.

Both are well-known local businesses that took the opportunity to keep their brands in the public eye.

All of our golfers stayed energized through food and refreshment sponsors Grundy Bank, First Midwest Bank, Centrue Bank, and WCSJ Radio. A special thank you to the more than 20 other hole and cart sponsors as well.

We are right in the middle of golf-outing season where local businesses, nonprofits, an organizations host these events all for good causes. We understand you can’t be at them all or sponsor every one, but all of the outings benefit our community so the Chamber thanks everyone who takes the time to support our outings and all of the others.

The Chamber’s will hold its second golf outing of the year in September supporting our Channahon Minooka Chamber division, sponsored again by D’Arcy Chevy Buick Cadillac. Save the date for Sept. 16 at Heritage Bluffs Public Golf Club in Channahon. Contact us if you’re interested in sponsorships and golfing in this great annual outing at 815-9420113 or email events@grundychamber. com.

Morris Hospital among Becker’s list of 100 Great Community Hospitals SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Becker’s Hospital Review has named Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers to its recently released 2016 “100 Great Community Hospitals.”

Becker’s Hospital Review is a monthly publication offering up-todate business and legal news and analysis relating to hospitals and health systems. Becker’s has published a version of this list annually since 2011.

This is the fifth year the list has included 100 hospitals. For the purposes of this list, Becker’s defines a “community hospital” as one with fewer than 550 beds that has minimal teaching

programs.

According to Becker’s the hospitals on the list are spread across the country, some not far from major metro areas and some in rural communities.

Morris Hospital is one of six on the list from Illinois, according to a news release from the hospital.

The Becker’s editorial team selected hospitals for inclusion based on rankings and awards from organizations including iVantage Health Analytics, Truven Health Analytics, Healthgrades, CareChex, the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the Leapfrog Group. Included organizations have earned recognition from one or more of these organizations.

Becker’s says their list is not an endorsement of included hospitals, health systems or associated health care providers, and organizations cannot pay for inclusion on this list.

Earlier this year, Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers was named one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals by Truven Health Analytics for demonstrating financial stability, operational efficiency, patient safety, inpatient and outpatient quality of care, and patient experience.

Additionally, Morris Hospital is one of 98 hospitals in the nation that has received straight A’s on the Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Safety Score since the program originated in June 2012.

“This is quite a year for us, between the Truven Health Analytics 100 Top Hospitals award, our continued Straight A’s from Leapfrog, and now the listing among Becker’s 100 Great Community Hospitals,” President and CEO Mark Steadham said in the news release. “For all they do to provide extraordinary quality care and service, our staff and the physicians who practice at Morris Hospital truly deserve this national recognition.”

Together, we put the ‘Community’ in MCHS

While attending the county Internship Program kickoff breakfast at LyondellBasell on June 10, something interesting occurred to me. When students were asked what high school they attended, every one of our students replied, “Morris Community High School.” Not Morris, not Morris High School, but Morris Community High School.

Many think the school goes dormant once the final bell has sounded, but at MCHS in June and July things really start to “heat up!”

Our facilities are truly a hub of the community.

June 15 was a fine example of the variety of activities that take place simultaneously at Morris Community High School. When I crossed the railroad tracks on Union Street, I was greeted by the Firemen’s Carnival in the parking lot, featuring the Big Slide, Centrifuge and various food trailers. As I turned west onto Redskin Lane, the “Shootout parking” sign was posted, signifying the start of the annual Girls Basketball Summer Classic. Coach Davy was drying off the tennis courts so the YMCA camps could take place. The

COMMUNITY PULSE Pat Halloran rec center and main gym were filled with teams from throughout Illinois preparing for the upcoming season and college coaches checking out the local talent.

As I parked my truck, I was greeted by several girls carrying flags as they headed to guard camp, a wave from the percussion section as they headed off to practice, a friendly “hello” from a junior football player, and a nod from a local contractor on-site to complete one of the numerous maintenance projects going on this summer. All of this before 7 a.m.

Driver education classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction take place in June and July. Several dozen students attend the Summer Skills Academy to improve their academic performance in English and math. Teachers are in the building working on curriculum updates and

improving assessments in preparation for next school year. There is still a lot of learning taking place at MCHS. The auditorium is also a busy area not only during the summer, but all year-round as well. MCHS has hosted dance recitals, concerts, play rehearsals, ceremonies, drama camps, and arts festivals. Although we have an aging facility, the staff works hard to make sure each event hosted is the best it can be!

Recently I looked at the summer schedule of a three-sport athlete and it was jam-packed! He puts in 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. days regularly – with plenty of night activities as well. Our students, coaches and sponsors dedicate a tremendous amount of time in the “off-season” to “create more and do better every day.”

The YMCA, MAA, and youth football programs have partnered with Morris Community High School in successful facility use agreements.

The baseball, softball, and football practice fields are in constant use for youth programs, and maintenance efforts are shared.

The YMCA uses the swimming

pool, field house and gymnasiums throughout the year as they continue to expand their presence in the community.

Through all of the activities, the custodial staff works hard to prepare the facility for the upcoming school year – from draining and painting the pool, cleaning classrooms and beautifying the grounds, a lot of needed upkeep takes place amid the “organized chaos.”

MCHS has enjoyed decades of tremendous community support. More than 80 percent of our students are involved in at least one activity. The hustle and bustle on this warm June day was a reminder of why many students emphasize the “community” when referring to Morris Community High School!

Seneca Area Heritage Museum opens a day after tornado hits

By MARK JOHNSON

Shaw Media correspondent SENECA – An event that Seneca Regional Port District President Michael Marchiando says was 10 years in the making came to fruition last week.

The Seneca Area Heritage Museum’s grand opening June 23 drew several dozen visitors to the museum’s site at 431 N. Main St. in the renovated Seneca depot building next to the railroad tracks. Seneca Historical Guild President Jeff Maierhofer emceed a ribbon-cutting ceremony less than 24 hours after his home just north of town was badly damaged by a storm.

“People asked about me being here,” Maierhofer said, “and I believe last night’s events were a reminder of the need to preserve history.”

That history is now displayed in alphabetically themed exhibits. The museum was open free of charge for a few days in conjunction with Seneca Prairie Shipyard Days. The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays for the rest of the summer, as well as by

Mark Johnson for Shaw Media

Antique tractors are parked next to the main entrance of the newly opened Seneca Area Heritage Museum on Thursday. appointment.

The current “A-to-Y” alphabetically themed collection of displays does not feature everything the guild eventually plans to feature at the museum.

Maierhofer says the group opted to initially use only materials that could together “tell a story” and that exhibits would be rotated in the future. He envisions new line-ups possibly being

rolled out in time for Shipyard Days in future years.

In addition to Maierhofer and Marchiando, Port District members John Lamb and Stephen Spangler spoke during the ceremony, along with Craig Hepner from the Illinois River Area Chamber of Commerce. Marchiando gave credit to William Steep, the Port District’s president when the project began, and to project manager Lamb for their roles in seeing it through.

“He’s been our get-it-done guy,” Marchiando said of Lamb.

Credit and thanks were also given to Scott Mann for providing the flat car located at the site, the Village of Seneca for its cooperation, and to all of those who have worked on the building and the adjacent landscaping.

“Really, the people who deserve credit are the members of the port district for having the vision to do this, and for putting together this visitors-center museum for the people of Seneca,” Maierhofer said after the ceremony, “and the [historical guild] members who worked here countless hours – I can’t even tell you how many hours – to put this together.”

Liberty Arts Festival contest winner chosen MORRIS – Alexis Crask, 11, of Seneca submitted a drawing that has been selected for a banner at this year’s Liberty Arts Festival.

Banner coloring will be just one of the activities in the Creator’s Village a series of booths with a variety of creative activities for kids of all ages.

This spring, area schools were asked to invite their students to create a drawing to be considered for a banner used as a canvas during the Liberty Arts Festival.

The Morris Downtown Development Partnership received entries from several area schools. The arts festival committee reviewed the entries and selected Crasks’s design.

“We received almost 100 entries,

but we felt that Alexis’ drawing was not only well designed, but promoted both the art and music that the event features,” Julie Applegate, executive director with the MDDP and organizer of the event, said in a news release.

Alexis learned that her drawing was selected at an awards ceremony at Seneca Middle School and was awarded a certificate from the arts festival committee.

All are invited to color Alexis’ banner from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 15 on the Grundy County Courthouse lawn.

Other activities in the Creators Village include chalk art, coloring, collage art, story-telling, hula hoop/dance, paper making, caricatures and more.

• TRAINING

Continued from page 3 haven’t had every unit pass its test.”

Markham said that if a unit does fail to pass its certification, it will continue training for about six months before retaking the certification test. During that time, it can’t be deployed.

However, he pointed out, that hasn’t happened at the Marseilles Training Center. Proving his point, the entire unit passed its certification tests Friday.

Anywhere, anytime

The unit based in Marseilles is one of 17 in the country.

Markham said that the government aims to have one in each FEMA region, although it’s closer to two for each region – FEMA is broken up into 10 regions. Region V is composed of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin, but the Marseilles unit is prepared to go to any of those states.

“We can be deployed anywhere,” Markham said. “If there’s a situation in the U.S. that’s bad enough, like Hurricane Katrina, for example, if it got to where we were needed, we would go.

Even overseas if we had to. The people on these units have to be ready to go within six hours of being called.”

With the severe weather the night of June 22, the unit nearly got some live practice in the field, but ultimately they weren’t needed.

“We were ready to go, though,” Markham said. “In fact, we do get called out to a lot of local stuff. Some of the guys you get on a first-name basis with.”

It’s not just the military side that feels the benefit of the combination of forces. The civilian units are more than grateful to be able to use the integrated training the two sides share.

Jim DuPont, a 33-year veteran of the fire service and current deputy director of the IL-TF1 Urban Search & Rescue team, has seen firsthand the value of a coordinated effort in the field. He has used that experience to help the teams come up with their training scenarios.

“We construct these exercises to

“That’s why you see people out here looking like zombies from ‘The Walking Dead’ lying on the ground. We have to get used to seeing that type of injury because they happen in the real world and we can’t freeze up if we see it.”

Senior shortstop led Coalers to regional

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – From 2008 through 2010, Kirsten Verdun put Coal City on the state softball map, leading the Coalers to a state title, a third-place finish and a 98-4 record over three seasons at the Class 2A level.

Since then, however, Coal City’s enrollment has soared. For two of the past three seasons, the Coalers have been playing in Class 3A. This spring, their players showed they are still worthy to be on the state stage – even the larger stage of 3A – when they beat Morris, 10-5, in the semifinal of the Lincoln-Way West Regional before falling, 10-3, to regional champ Lincoln-Way West in the title game to finish the season with a 23-8 overall record.

Shortstop Makenna Emerson has been a constant through that run, and she is glad to have taken part in it. She capped a terrific career with her best season in 2016, hitting .538 with 17 doubles, seven triples, two home runs and 47 RBIs to go with 39 runs, 14 stolen bases and an .855 slugging percentage.

Despite those big numbers, she only struck out twice, and, in the process, earned Morris Herald-News Player of the Year honors.

It was one thing for a force of nature such as Verdun to put the Coalers on her back and carry them to a state championship, since she had the most influence on the game in the pitcher’s circle. Emerson, on the other hand, never threw a pitch, yet she was still the unquestioned leader of a team that was within a game of earning a regional plaque in a class higher than it is used to playing.

All of that helped Emerson earn a chance to play for Olivet Nazarene University next season and nothing but praise from Coal City coach Stephanie Harmon.

“Makenna really stepped her game up and became our leader,” Harmon said. “Anything we needed to have done, she did. She is a big reason we were able to compete against the teams in Class 3A, and she is definitely leaving some big shoes to fill.”

In the regional title game against Lincoln-Way West, Emerson got the Coalers off to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when she drove home teammate Taylor Meents with a single.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough as the Warriors relentless offense got the best of Coal City and showed the Coalers what it’s like to be a championship team at the next level.

Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com

Makenna Emerson readies herself at shortstop during the Class 3A Lincoln-Way West Regional championship game.

“We knew that playing in Class 3A was going to be tough,” Emerson said. “But we also knew we could do it. I think we did a pretty good job this year. Even though they are losing the three of us seniors, we will be leaving here knowing that the girls that are coming back will do a good job of keeping things going that we have kind of started.”

Emerson made an impression on not only her own coach and teammates, but also on the coaches she competed against.

“We saw them twice, sometimes three times a year, so I probably coached against Makenna 10 or more games in her four years,” Seneca head coach Dan Stecken said about Emerson. “After the last time we played them this year, she went out of her way to come over to me and tell me how much she enjoyed playing against us and watching how I coached a game. I don’t think I have ever had an opposing player do that.

“That speaks volumes not only to her character as a person, but also how much attention she pays to the game while she’s on the field. A player like that can’t help but be successful and she has earned any recognition she

gets.”

As far as competing at the next level next year, Emerson feels like she is ready.

“I think I can play there,” she said about her upcoming career at Olivet.

“I like that it’s close to home and they

have a good school. School is the most important thing, anyway. The fact that I get to keep playing softball is an added bonus.”

If Emerson’s career at Coal City is any indication, it will likely turn out to be a bonus that benefits both parties.

Illinois Irish capture 16U NSA state title STAFF REPORTS ROCKFORD – The Illinois Irish, a 16-under girls softball team based in Seneca, went a perfect 6-0 over the weekend at the Illinois NSA 16U State Championship and brought home the first-place trophy.

The Irish, who are coached by Dan Stecken and Ken Sangston, defeated the Wheatland Spikes, 9-5, the Bordertown Bandits, 9-6, Redhawks Fastpitch, 9-3, and Illinois Gold, 4-3.

Then Seneca rallied late in the semifinals to defeat Illinois Intensity, 10-8, before beating Rockford Big Doggs Dynamite, 8-1, in the title game to win the championship.

“This was a great weekend for us,” said Stecken, who also is the Seneca High School varsity coach. “About half of the team will go to Seneca next year, so the better part of the nucleus we will have this coming spring got some good experience. We also had a girl from Morris [Abby Moore], a girl from Coal City [Abby Spesia] and a girl from Minooka [Bree Szambelan] that played for us and really helped out.”

The Illinois Irish averaged 8.2 runs a game during the tournament, and got offensive contributions up and down the lineup. In the six games, Taylor Bushman led the team with 11 hits to go with nine runs, a double. two triples and seven RBIs.

STAFF REPORTS MORRIS – It took about a quarter of the race Friday night for John Nutley to navigate through the field from his sixth starting position to the front of the pack in the 40-lap Late Model feature Friday night at the 1⁄3-mile Grundy County Speedway.

After Nutley got there, however, he held the lead for the final 30 laps en route to winning the race by .556 seconds. Second-place Eddie Hoffman was right behind him. By the end of Lap 4, Nutley had pulled into second place behind pole-sitter Jim Weber before finally taking the lead after Lap 11. Point leaders Hoffman and Anthony Danta waged a back-andforth battle for second behind Nutley for most of the rest of the race before Hoffman emerged with the second-place finish. Larry Schuler edged Danta for third, with Danta taking fourth and James Gregait fifth. Billy Knippenberg, Weber, Joe

Vinachi, Ryan Finley and Brian Tedeschi rounded out the top 10.

In the 30-lap Mid-American feature, it was Kevin Gentile coming on strong at the end to take over the lead from John Ventrello with three laps left to claim the win. Gentile, who started ninth, pulled to third on Lap 20 before taking over second on Lap 25 and the lead on Lap 27. Ventrello, the pole sitter, had led the entire race to that point. Gentile then held off Ron Vandermeier Jr. down the stretch for the win, with Jeremy Clubb taking third, Cody Clubb finishing fourth and Kevin Murphy fifth. Jake Bradley, Jim Kachel, Matt Clemens, Aaron Shelton and Cody Clougherty rounded out the top 10.

In the Street Stock division’s 30-lap feature, Rick Dawson started 10th, but rose quickly through the ranks and took the lead on the fifth lap. He never failed to lead another lap en route to the victory, with John Senerchia, who started 13th, finishing second and Zach Sontag third.

Christy Penrod, Craig Matteson, Randy Weese, Cheryl Hryn, Spencer Leake, Brandon Reed and Renee Farren made up the top 10.

Creatures, great and small, live on the edge The other morning I forced myself to get up and start the day.

As I argued with the coffee pot, my eyes looked away for a moment.

In the brief second I gazed out the window, something caught my eye.

A doe worked through the yard with a fawn.

The wobbly-legged deer couldn’t have been more than just a few days old, but he, or she, kept mama in sight and grazed. In a few minutes, they walked down a slight hill and out of sight.

While I watched them, I couldn’t help but to laugh to myself.

This fawn, brand new to the world, was already learning from his mother.

Or maybe it was instinct, but that little whitetail only traveled through my yard along edges.

What do I mean by that? An edge in outdoor lingo means any place where two forms of cover or habitat meet.

In this instance, it was where my yard met the edge of the woods. Both deer were in plain sight, but they were never more than a couple of feet from the safety of the woods.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers If you love to hunt, fish, or watch wildlife of any sort, this singular notion of “edges” is worth taking to heart.

Just about every critter that lives in the wild uses this concept for travel and safety.

A few hours before writing this column, I was teaching a passionate young bass angler about where to look for big fish.

The pond we were fishing was shaped like a U. The wind was blowing from the west down each leg of this pond. Right in front of us the two wind-driven currents collided.

There was a perfect example of an edge.

Where the peninsula in the middle of this pond blocked the wind, we now had a current break.

I explained to this young man that the wind was creating a natural ambush spot for a hungry predator

If you love wildlife and spend time in the outdoors, take close note of where and how they move.

I think you will see, more times than not, those critters are working some sort of boundary.

Generations of survival instincts have been honed into their natural behaviors.

If you think about human tendencies, we can often be seen following the same pattern.

Where do little kids first like to swim?

That’s right, along the edge of the pool. When we see a cliff or waterfall what do we tend to do, even if it is scary?

Look over the edge.

There is something about the transition from one physical form to another that draws living creatures to it.

Study the idea.

Observe it.

I promise you will have more successful outdoor experiences if you do.

like a largemouth.

We then took a few minutes to look for other edges along this pond.

Of course, there was the shoreline.

This popular edge between the water and the land is a natural attraction for all kinds of wildlife, but then we started to look closer.

The was an edge where the weed line stopped.

The shoreline vegetation could only reach so far. When the water depth made it too difficult for the plant life to take root, we had a natural edge.

We also discussed how there may be an edge between rocks and sand, or even a bare shoreline and laydown trees. The possibilities are endless.

This same thought process can be applied to terrestrial wildlife. The popular wild turkey is synonymous with working edges.

They love to roost along bluffs or hills, they follow farm lanes and sneak along the side of thick bushes.

Yes, they will cross open fields if they think there is love in the air, but any turkey hunter will tell you, those big gobblers prefer not to.

By LISA ABRAHAM More Content Now

Sometimes when I open my mouth, I hear the words not only of my mother coming out but also of my grandmother and great-grandmother.

Although my great-grandmother died when I was just 2 months old, her sayings have been handed down through the generations, so I can still quote her (sometimes in her original Croatian).

Our line of women have always been serious about their food: Prepare it from scratch; never (God help you) waste it; always share it; and don’t play with it – eat it.

Perhaps that’s why I am a proponent of well-made food but draw the line at food crafts, which stray too far into “playing with your food” territory.

Such is my stance 364 days of the year.

Then July 4 rolls around, and I throw all that out the window in favor of the red, white and blue.

I’m not sure why this wave of patriotism overtakes me once a year — but it surely does.

I’ve molded Jell-O into a map of the United States.

I’ve decorated cakes with fireworks.

With a container of whipped topping and some berries, I can turn any dish into an American flag.

I tell myself that my fervor has to do with the availability of strawberries and blueberries at this time of year. Berry desserts are fresh, seasonal and local – and the perfect accompaniment to picnic food.

Not too long ago, I was looking at an old family photo in which my niece and nephew, ages 2 and 3 at the time, sat on my lap as we posed in front of a cake I had decorated to resemble an American flag.

I asked my niece whether she remembered the cake from more than 20 years ago.

“Oh, yes,” she replied, “We were so excited; we loved it.”

And then I realized why I’m such a patriot.

Berry desserts are fresh, seasonal and local – and the perfect accompaniment to picnic food. Sliced strawberries add flavor and color to a red, white and blue trifle recipe.

SUMMER BERRY TRIFLE Makes 15 to 20 servings

1 single-layer vanilla cake, 9 by 13 inches, white or yellow (see note) ¼ cup berry liqueur (optional) ½ cup berry preserves 2 cups sliced strawberries 12 to 16 large strawberries cut in half 4 cups yellow custard or vanilla pudding 2 cups blueberries 1 to 2 cups whipped cream or non-dairy whipped topping Additional blueberries and strawberries, for garnish Brush top of cake with liqueur, if using, then spread with preserves. Cut cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

In the bottom of a 9-inch trifle bowl, place 2 cups of sliced berries.

Stand up the large berry halves around the bottom of the bowl

to form a decorative ring.

Spread 1 cup of custard over sliced berries.

Add a layer of cake cubes, white side of cake facing out, to form a white layer. Top cake cubes with a second cup of custard.

Spread blueberries over custard, piling them up along the outside in a ring to form a blue layer.

Spread a third cup of custard over berries, followed by another layer of cake cubes.

Ring the bowl a second time with the remaining large strawberry halves.

Spread the fourth cup of custard over cake layer to hold the ring of berries in place.

Cover top of entire trifle with whipped cream or topping.

Use extra berries to garnish top, as desired.

Note: This recipe can be made with pound cake or angel food cake, but either will have to be cut into 1-inch slices, then spread with preserves, before being cut into cubes.

THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory The decision to pursue a patent for their gyroscope sets up trouble when Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) holds back on being bound legally to Sheldon and Leonard (Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki) in “The Application Deterioration.” The result is a conversation that’s uncomfortable for all concerned. Unsure what to do when ex-flame Emily (Laura Spencer) contacts him. Raj (Kunal Nayyar) gets advice from Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and others.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Stephen Amell turns up in his “Arrow” starring role as Oliver Queen, but in a considerably different variation, in “Star City 2046.” As the title suggests, the tale takes the Legends into the future, where some of what they discover about their present is quite dismaying — such as the fact that they evidently failed to defeat Savage (guest star Casper Crump). The “Arrow” aspect comes in as Sara (Caity Lotz) discovers what became of her loved ones.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones Booth’s (David Boreanaz) safety is imperiled further when FBI Agent Miller (guest star Kim Raver), who supposedly has been helping to locate him, is found to be withholding information in “The Brother in the Basement.” A forensic scientist (guest star Josh Casaubon) arrives to aid the search. Arastoo (guest star Pej Vahdat) comes to a decision that’s destined to impact Cam (Tamara Taylor) as well. Emily Deschanel and TJ Thyne also star.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM Life in Pieces Sophia (Giselle Eisenberg) is a problem when Heather and Tim (Betsy Brandt, Dan Bakkedahl) make new friends in “Bite Flight Wing-Man Bonnie,” since she doesn’t like the other couple’s son. Greg (Colin Hanks) wants Jen (Zoe ListerJones) to fly separately from him, worried something may happen en route. Matt (Thomas Sadoski) runs into his ex-wife (guest star Brenda Song). Oscar winner Helen Hunt directed the tale. Martin Mull also guest stars.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Greatest Hits Your favorite songs from the past several decades may be included — along with their original artists — in this new series hosted by Arsenio Hall and country music’s Kelsea Ballerini. Among those slated to appear during the show’s run: Backstreet Boys, Rick Springfield, Foreigner, Wilson Phillips, Chicago and Boyz II Men. For those who’ve never seen a jukebox,

UP TO

Rick Springfield is among those featured in “Greatest Hits” Thursday on ABC. there’s also Meghan Trainor and Pitbull.

This premiere focuses on tunes from 1980 through 1985.

8 p.m. on ) WGN Beauty and the Beast Series normally delve into the “It’s a Wonderful Life” theme toward the end of the calendar year, but given this show’s summer scheduling, the new episode “It’s a Wonderful Beast” turns up much earlier.

On the run again with someone with lethal intentions searching for them, Vincent (Jay Ryan) ponders whether Cat (Kristin Kreuk) would have had a better life without him — and, of course, he (and we) get a look at what that might have been like. Austin Basis also stars.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free “Pressure’s On” is a more-than-apt title for this new episode, as tension builds for the couples involved in the competition. Hosts Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow advise them to keep their cool, but that proves to be easier said than done as the challenges increase — a phenomenon not unknown to many other people who have tried to generate their “dream house.”

8:59 p.m. on ^ WBBM Code Black The aftermath of an accident involving multiple vehicles comes to encompass a budding romantic triangle among Mario, Angus and Heather (Benjamin Hollingsworth, Harry Ford, guest star Jillian Murray) in “The Fog of War.” While Christa’s (Bonnie Somerville) fate remains in question, Malaya (Melanie Chandra) stays with Carla (guest star Shiri Appleby) for the baby’s birth — which Carla doesn’t want.

Marcia Gay Harden and Raza Jaffrey also star.

9 p.m. on % WMAQ Aquarius Hodiak (David Duchovny) is under the microscope of Internal Affairs investigators in the new episode “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey.”

tion — likely leading to a strained relationship with Erin (Bridget Moynahan) once again — in “Flags of Our Fathers.” Frank (Tom Selleck) is conflicted about the First Amendment after radicals threaten to commit a decidedly un-American act. Malik Yoba and Steve Schirripa guest star.

9 p.m. on + WTTW The Great British Baking Show Let them eat cake ... and better yet, let them make it, too. That’s the first challenge facing the 12 bakers who start the third season of this competition (which actually was the sixth season in its native England), with Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood back as judges who gauge the chefs’ efforts. It’s not just any cake they have to prepare first, but a sponge-cakelike Madeira cake. Before the hour is over, they’ll also have to whip up a black forest gateau.

10 p.m. on + WTTW A Few Great Bakeries This special is part food show, part travelogue and part tribute to the workers who get up in the wee hours to meet Americans’ bottomless hunger for baked goods all day long. There’s diversity in the locales, as well as in the showcased fare: Minerva Bakery in McKeesport, Pa., offers everything from dinner rolls to wedding cakes — while in Durham, N.C., a baker and entrepreneur sells mostly rum cakes out of his panel truck labeled Chez Moi Bakery.

Of course, he seeks — and gets — help from his West Coast counterparts including Callen and Sam (Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J). Especially enjoyable are DiNozzo’s encounters with Hetty (Linda Hunt). Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen also star.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank Plastic bottles may be in the past if a Florida teen environmentalist gets financial backing in this episode — which also features soap-opera veteran Sarah Buxton, now marketing a swimsuit that offers protection from the sun. Washington, D.C. residents introduce an app related to exercise, and a Texas man pitches a way to determine the cleanliness of a mattress ... or lack thereof. Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner and Barbara Corcoran are among the Sharks.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Rosewood Villa’s (Jaina Lee Ortiz) new partnership with someone from her past worries Rosewood (Morris Chestnut) for multiple reasons in “Ballistics & BFFs.” The newly paired duo probes a dentist’s death, but Rosewood thinks his replacement knows too much about the case. Another medical examiner (guest star Sherri Shepherd, “The View”) is enlisted to assist. Hornstock (Domenick Lombardozzi) has trouble handling media interest in the investigation.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 If counseling can work for couples experiencing romantic strife, why not for police partners who also are having issues? McGarrett and Danny (Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan) give it a try in “Kuleana” (Hawaiian for “One’s Personal Sense of Responsibility”) by going to a couples retreat, which may not have the typical effect. Kamekona (Taylor Wily) is haunted by his past, rather literally. Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park also star.

The facts come to light in “Giving Thanks, Getting Justice,” featuring two guest stars with their own TV cred, Jason Alexander (“Seinfeld”) and Timothy Olyphant (“Justified”). Flashbacks to the related event are factored into the family’s Thanksgiving celebration, which is marked by an abundance of exuberance and probing. Fred Savage and William Devane also star.

SUNDAY

6 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons “The Brady Bunch” took a trip to the Grand Canyon during the run of that sitcom, and a very different clan ventures to that national landmark in “Fland Canyon.” The trek plays out in flashbacks as Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) recalls the Simpson brood’s trip there with the Flanders family, not the most unified excursion — until a crisis involving Bart and Ned (voices of Nancy Cartwright and Harry Shearer) arose. Another episode airs an hour later.

6:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Bob’s Burgers It can be a gamble to put people together for a dinner party, as Bob (voice of H. Jon Benjamin) learns the hard way in “The Cook, the Steve, the Gayle, & Her Lover.”

Gayle (voice of guest star Megan Mullally) decides to bring her new boyfriend to the gathering, unaware that Louise (voice of Kristen Schaal) has an enduring grudge against him and is determined to torpedo the romance. Dan Mintz and John Roberts also are in the voice cast.

Relationships develop between Pamela and Stanley (Joanna Vanderham, Matthew Goode), and Sarah and Louis (Janet Montgomery, Chiwetel Ejiofor). John Goodman and Anthony Head also star.

At the White House, Russell (Zeljko Ivanek) keeps information from Elizabeth (Tea Leoni). Gary Basaraba and John Ellison Conlee also guest star.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The $100,000 Pyramid Certain “Saturday Night Live” alums have had on-camera showdowns in that show’s skits, but two — Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch — have a different battle in this new episode’s first match. Each aims for the winner’s circle to help win her partner the top prize of $100,000 for guessing categories correctly. Then, host Michael Strahan presides as his “Good Morning America” comrade Robin Roberts rivals actor-comedian Mario Cantone (“Sex and the City”).

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

The disappearance of an au pair causes Thursday (Roger Allam) to suspect a connection to an earlier case in the same area as the new “Endeavour Season 3” continues with “Prey.” A subsequent, bizarre death leads to the hunch that a lethal animal is involved, especially since a family relevant to the investigation is planning to open a safari park. Morse (Shaun Evans) and his associates risk their lives to solve the matter before mote fatalities occur.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy Not all is festive during the local running of the bulls event, where Joe (voice of Patrick Warburton) is trampled and becomes a quadriplegic. Instead of rallying around their luckless buddy, though, Peter (voice of Seth MacFarlane) and the rest of the guys just find it too hard spending time with him in “Brokeback Swanson.”

Elsewhere, after a husband catches Brian (voice of MacFarlane) canoodling with his wife, Brian pretends to be the couple’s new pooch.

He makes good on his latest threat by kidnapping a World War II veteran (Pascal Laurent) — whose captivity he live-streams — and he takes additional prisoners when runaway teens threaten his plans by making an accidental discovery.
