An island of good news stands amid a sea of bad It seems like any news we have had come into the office lately has been bad.

From traffic crashes to fires to deaths, we’ve had our share of sadness.

On a recent Friday, however, a woman came in with an experience that provided us with a much-needed lift.

Lorraine Shepler of Morris had gone to Prairie Place Family Dental in Morris to have a broken tooth fixed, and, being on a fixed income, was worried about how she was going to pay for it. She came back the next day and was told that, after she left, someone had paid $100 toward the bill.

Shepler assumed that since her niece was the only other person who knew she had a dental appointment that day, it was either her niece or niece’s husband who made the payment. However, both swore to her that they had not paid.

As it turns out, someone in the waiting room overheard Mrs. Shepler talking to the receptionist and decided to help out anonymously.

“Because of privacy laws, they couldn’t tell me who it was that paid,”

VIEWS Rob Oesterle Shepler said. “I just want to let people know that there are good people out there and to thank whoever it was that did that. I have never had that happen to me before. A hundred dollars is a lot of money to me and for someone to do that for someone they have never met is awfully nice.”

We have been bombarded in the last few weeks and months with news about actions that haven’t been so nice, both on a national and local level. It’s refreshing to know that there are still people who care about others.

I have been the recipient of a couple of “Pay it Forward” good deeds in my life. Once, my wife and I were out to lunch at Turtle’s Tap in Morris and when the bill came, our server told us someone who had been sitting near us

LOOKING UP

had already taken care of the check.

And, a few times I have pulled up to the window at Dunkin’ Donuts only to find that the person ahead of me in line had already paid for my beverage.

I know how something like that gives you a warm feeling in your heart, so I urge everyone who has the means to see where you can pay it forward to someone who may need it (and will definitely appreciate it). The key is to remain anonymous and don’t expect anything in return. It’s the deed itself that is its own reward.

You will make someone’s day brighter. They, in turn, may do the same thing for someone else. Before you know it, people are being nice all over the place.

That’s definitely a practice I would like to see become popular rather than people shooting at each other or getting injured while trying to catch fake animated creatures with their cellphones.

Generosity overflows at Operation St. Nick fundraiser

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Describing it as a “crazy day,” Operation St. Nick’s President Joe Schmitz said Saturday’s Christmas in July fundraiser was the best the organization has ever had.

“I don’t believe we’ve ever had a better party with more people,” he said Sunday. “It was very moving, really, to see all the people from all different walks of life.”

The event was held at Clayton’s Tap in Morris for the sixth year, and was packed wall-to-wall with participants.

Many came to bid on items and packages at the live and silent auctions, buy raffle tickets and bracelets, and donate to the cause in their own way.

“We had more than 100 items,” Schmitz said, “and we brought in $46,419. That’s incredible.”

Last year was the first time the summer event reached the $40,000 mark, and Schmitz said he was amazed at this year’s total.

“The last two years, it’s gotten really big,” he said of the auction. “The generosity of the people in Grundy County is just amazing. They take care of people with needs and disabilities and everybody.”

The nonprofit was established in 1979 as a grass-roots way to give back to the greater Grundy County community. The Morris-based Operation St. Nick’s annual projects include the back-to-school initiative, where most of Saturday’s proceeds will go.

The nonprofit also holds its Christmas project, which primarily is funded by a radio auction later in the year.

The goal is to provide dozens of families with toys, gifts and food gift certificates. A separate program helps about a dozen military families by fulfilling Christmas wishes. They also have a Bicycle Program and a Literacy Initiative.

“We have more than 300 we’re helping this year,” Schmitz said, referring to the people helped by the backto-school program. “That’s $150 per child.”

Each qualifying family will receive enough for school supplies, clothes and shoes that each child can pick out himself or herself.

“It went really well,” said Lois Darlington, who, with her husband, Scott, owns Clayton’s Tap and helps organize the Christmas in July event. “It was a

Operation St. Nick president great turnout for such a hot day. We were really pleased.”

Darlington said the item that received the largest donation at the live auction was a 12-foot smoker trailer with a cooler and turkey fryer, handcrafted by George McCabe, owner of The Shop Welding and Fabrication in Morris. It went for $5,000. McCabe is a frequent donor of one-of-a-kind auction items, Darlington said.

Morris YMCA goes for the gold in challenges Get involved

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – As they find themselves inspired by the athletics and competition of the Rio Olympic Games next month, members of the Morris YMCA will be able to jump in and participate in their own Olympic-type event.

Throughout August, the center is holding a fitness challenge called “Going for the Gold,” where contestants can earn bronze, silver and gold medals by participating in 11 activities.

“We tried to pick activities that can be done inside and outside the branch,” Morris YMCA Health and Wellness Director Ian Stewart said.

Stewart said he knows members enjoy being able to get outside and exercise during the summer, but with the hot, humid days, many prefer to work out indoors.

Activities that can earn members medals are running, weight training, walking, biking, hiking, cardio machines, team sports, fitness classes, rowing, swimming and golf.

Participants will receive cards they can use to log in their times. Bronze medals are earned for 30 minutes of a particular activity. Silver takes an hour, and gold medals require an hourand-a-half of participation per activity.

Participants can go for as many medals as they want. For every gold medal earned, members will be en-

said. “For the weight training, they can come here if they want at their convenience and use any of the weight training equipment we have here, like the weight machines, barbells, dumbbells, cables, any kind of resistance training.”

They said they might watch some of the Olympics this year. Laurie said he enjoys watching the track and field Olympic events. Hess said he always enjoys watching the swimming competitions. Feeney said he might go for the running, biking and rowing medals in the Y’s event.

“I’m going for all of them,” Corban said.

How can we honor them for paying the ultimate price? They come home with wounds you can’t see. People don’t understand how serious this is.

First-ever memorial for veterans lost to PTSD

Memorial expected to open in November at Channahon State Park

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Channahon State Park will be home to a one-of-a-kind memorial for military veterans who have lost their battles with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Forgotten Warrior Memorial Wall will be a tribute to all veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces and have been afflicted with PTSD and sacrificed their lives beyond the limits of active duty. The memorial, expected to open in November, was funded through private donations to Chicago-based nonprofit K9s For Veteran Warriors.

K9s For Veteran Warriors CEO Michael Tellerino said it’s proper to have memorials for veterans who lost their lives in battle; however, currently no memorials exist for the countless veterans who have taken their own lives while fighting another war at home – PTSD. “How can we honor them for paying the ultimate price?” Tellerino said.

“They come home with wounds you can’t see. People don’t understand how serious this is.”

One statistic Tellerino cited suggests about 22 veterans commit suicide each day, but that’s just based on veterans who have registered for benefits.

He said the real number is between 28 and 32 a day.

“That’s not acceptable,” he said.

“We wanted to acknowledge that sons, daughters, brothers and sisters have not died in vain. We hope this will give some healing to their families and raise public awareness.”

The memorial, which will cost more than $80,000, will be constructed in an existing circular turnaround area of the park and be comprised largely of granite. Tellerino initially wanted to etch the names of each veteran lost to PTSD into the memorial, but said it would be an exhaustive process to get every name from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Instead, families will have individual bricks etched with their loved ones’ names on a volunteer basis. He said that since announcing the memorial last week, he received a call from a woman in tears.

Channahon State Park in Channahon has been chosen as the site of The Forgotten Warrior Memorial Wall that will honor veterans who have lost their battle to post-traumatic stress disorder. This graphic shows the design, which is the first of its kind in America.

Know more To learn about K9s For Veteran Warriors, visit k9forveteranwarriors.org.

“She was so excited about doing this,” he said. “It’s so long overdue for these guys.”

The organization chose Channahon because it has easy access from the Chicago metropolitan area and the specific spot in the park is perfect for what the architects of the project have designed.

The nonprofit also wanted the memorial to be relatively close to Marseilles, which is home to the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial along the Illinois River.

Illinois State Parks and Recreation and state legislators have already signed off on the project, he said.

“This one-of-a-kind memorial will provide a place for family members, other veterans, and the public to honor those service men and women whose injuries, while perhaps not physically apparent, were no less devastating,” Channahon Mayor Missey Moorman Schumacher said in a news release.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Finance Committee approved 5-1 during its Monday meeting lowering the salary of the Grundy County Board chairman position after the November election when a new board is seated. Dick Joyce voted no.

Currently, the chairman earns $42,500, plus an additional $2,500 for also serving as liquor commissioner.

“The Personnel Committee recom-

mended a 20 percent reduction and the Finance Committee has agreed,” Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor said. “The salary recommendation is a joint effort of both committees.”

The Personnel Committee looked at both a salary and a per diem method of pay and decided the salary is easier to budget for, as well as being easier to decide what meetings are paid for and what meetings aren’t.

“The chairperson has to attend meetings that aren’t eligible for a per

diem,” Pryor said. “This just keeps it cleaner, and a per diem could end up costing the county more money.”

He said that while board members have a fixed number of meetings, the board chairperson has other responsibilities that take him or her to meetings with the administrator for things such as union negotiations.

Pryor said the salary has to be set prior to elections and can be changed every two years.

The full county board is expected to vote on the change at its next meeting

in August.

The committee also was updated on the budget process, which has been ongoing between the administrator and the department heads throughout the county.

Pryor said the budget process will continue for several months and that all of the departments will be revisited before a final budget can be processed.

He told the committee he will work to come up with a draft he hopes to present to them by the Aug. 9 county board meeting.

Channahon D-17 considers extending online reading program CHANNAHON – The Channahon District 17 school board celebrated a reading victory Monday.

Students in the district’s four grade schools have long participated in summer reading programs designed to strengthen their reading skills and mitigate that “summer slide.”

This summer, in addition to handson, real-paper books, Channahon students also had access to a selection of thousands of online books to read through a new program the district contracted for the summer.

“We have seen such a great response,” Superintendent Nick Henkle said of his students’ participation.

School administrators can get re-

ports on the number of books read, which books are being read and other statistics.

As of mid-July, Henkle said, N.B. Galloway students have read or are in the process of reading 2,785 books; Pioneer Path students are reading 919 books; Three Rivers students are reading 1,202 books; and students who attend Channahon Junior High School have read or are reading 442 books.

The program goes through mid-September.

The board is considering extending the online reading program for one year, but recommended Henkle go to the principals first to make sure they believe students are receiving enough benefit to make the costs worthwhile.

The district offers the program to students free of charge, but for a one-

sion for the district and their plan for 21st-century learning,” he said after the meeting. “It’s right in line with what I believe and preach.”

The board also: • Heard a report from the district’s attorney, Ares Dalianis, of Franczek Radelet PC, on an intergovernmental agreement proposed by the village of Channahon. The agreement concerns the development of property northeast of the Interstate 55/Bluff Road interchange and a property tax abatement the developer is requesting. The board took no action on the item.

• Approved hiring Carrie DeCaprio as a second-grade teacher, accepted the resignation of second-grade teacher Nicole DeMaine and accepted the June 2020 retirement of Three Rivers Principal Susan Kavich.

4-H fair battles hot temps, rain over weekend

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Hot weather during the day and storms in the evening couldn’t dampen the spirits at the Grundy County 4-H fair over the weekend.

As supporters finished their pork chop and chicken dinners, clouds rolled in, bringing with them winds and lightning.

“It wouldn’t be the 4-H fair without hot temperatures and rain,” 4-H Director Karen Zelko joked as she waited for the auction to begin.

While the fair didn’t stop for the weather, the horse portion of the fair was postponed and will now be completed July 31 after the horse ring has a chance to dry out.

Skeeter Ehrman said Monday that they had to make an executive decision and push it back a week for the safety of the horses and riders.

At the front of the fairgrounds Monday morning, decisions were made as to where they could host events where there wasn’t standing water.

The rocket launch, which typically takes place near the entrance of the grounds, was pushed out to the field closer to the highway so they could launch them from dry ground.

Heidi Litchfield - hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Seth Fleming, a clover bud with the Silver Spurs 4-H group, sets up his rocket to launch at the 4-H fair on Monday.

Seth Fleming, a clover bud with the Silver Spurs 4-H club, didn’t care where he launched from as long as he could get his rocket to take off.

The rocket was custom built by Fleming and his father and had a C65 motor

to give it the lift off needed.

Each rocket is handbuilt and decorated by the clover bud or 4-H member and is packed with a parachute to provide a softer landing.

Rebekah Baxa, 13, with Coal City

Community 4-H Club, has been showing rockets and participating in the launch for about five years and said she’s learned a lot in the process.

“I’ve learned a couple of things – they won’t go up every time and they are hard to paint,” Baxa said.

She said building the rockets can be difficult as well. She has snapped the light wood that makes up the wings of the rocket more than once.

This year, her rocket took “state alternate” title, and she’s happy with the placement.

“When I first started showing in rockets, I thought it would be fun,” she said. “The painting was harder than I thought and my dad told me that nail polish has the same consistency as model paint, so I used it to decorate the rocket this year.”

Her rocket’s wings were fashionable, with a neon and black leopard print design on one side of the wings.

Jesse Tresouthicki, another clover bud with Silver Spurs, said launching the rocket was the best part, and he was surprised it took off.

“It’s not as easy as it looks,” he said.

The best of 4-H was presented to end the fair Monday afternoon and the state qualifiers will go home to get prepared for the state fair.

Will County seeking to vacate plea agreement in separate case involving teen driver

then asked if there was anything in mitigation – or anything good about the defendant – the minor’s attorney waived comment.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office filed a motion Tuesday that asks a judge to vacate the plea based on the defense committing fraud against the court.

The motion notes that at the time supervision was requested, “Defendant had already been charged with two additional and entirely separate traffic offenses, one of which involved the death of two people who had been riding their bicycles on the side of the road.”

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office is now asking for the plea to be vacated and wants to seek a conviction for the Class B misdemeanor, which could bring up to six months in jail and a $1,500 fine.

“Our position is that they committed fraud and there is case law to back us up,” Pelkie said. “Had we known charges were pending in Grundy and LaSalle counties, we never would have accepted the plea agreement.”

A call to Wharrie was not immediately returned Tuesday.

MORRIS – The investigation into a vehicle-bicycle collision that left two Morris residents dead is ongoing, Grundy County officials said, but new developments are unfolding in a separate case involving the teen driver who struck the victims.

About 6:50 p.m. June 21, Mark and Janice Wendling of Morris were riding bicycles west in the 4500 block of Old Stage Road when they were hit from behind by a 16-year-old who was driving an SUV owned by District 54 Principal Chris Maier, according to crash reports. The Wendlings both died as a result of the collision.

The teenager was issued a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident; he is not being named because he is a minor and has not been charged as an adult.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said the case was in court

Monday, where it was continued for another status hearing scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Sept. 26.

“The state’s attorney office is waiting for the sheriff to conclude the investigation to see if further charges are warranted,” Helland said.

“There are no toxicology results yet; we are still waiting,” Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said.

“The reconstruction of the accident is complete, but we need the lab results to finish.”

However, other action is being sought in Will County against the same teenager in an unrelated case.

According to court documents, the minor was ticketed in Will County at 8:03 p.m. June 4 while driving east on Interstate 80 approaching Center Street in Joliet for driving 87 mph in a 55 mph zone.

The minor’s lawyer, who online court records list as being Ryan Wharrie, negotiated a plea agreement with the Will County State’s Attorney’s Of-

fice where in exchange for his plea of guilty during a June 28 court appearance, the teenager would be sentenced to 12 months’ supervision, pay $450 in fines and costs, and attend traffic safety school, according to a motion filed Tuesday that seeks to vacate that agreement.

Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the Will County State’s Attorney Office, said the office was not aware the teenager had other charges pending in other counties when the agreement was reached.

Beyond the Morris case, the minor also was ticketed June 21 – the day of the collision in Grundy County – in LaSalle County on a charge of speeding 26 to 34 mph over the limit.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office on June 23 obtained a driving abstract from the Illinois Secretary of State prior to the June 28 court date and there were no convictions or supervisions on the teenager’s record, according to court documents.

Pelkie said that when the judge asked if there was anything in aggravation – including issues such as additional charges or a criminal record – Wharrie was silent. When the judge

Morris Hospital seeks volunteers for screening program SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – After nearly a year of planning and fundraising, Morris Hospital is seeking volunteers to assist at the Rhythm of Our Youth cardiac screening programs that will be held at six area high schools this fall.

The purpose of the screening program is to prevent sudden cardiac death in area high school students by identifying those who may have existing cardiac abnormalities.

On the screening days, a team from Morris Hospital will provide electrocardiogram screenings free of charge to students who have received parental permission to participate. An electrocardiogram is a noninvasive test that

measures the electrical activity of the heart and detects certain heart abnormalities that can lead to sudden cardiac death.

The program was made possible with funding provided by generous donors to the Morris Hospital Foundation.

Sudden cardiac death claims more than 2,000 lives of children and adolescents in the United States each year.

Most victims of sudden cardiac death have had underlying heart conditions that could have been detected through a simple ECG. The painless test takes about 3 minutes to complete.

On each scheduled screening day, the Rhythm of Our Youth team expects to screen hundreds of high school students. Volunteers are asked to work

from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will help checkin and escort participating students to the screening stations.

Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and pass a background check.

Clinical skills are not required.

In addition to working the screening days, volunteers are required to attend a mandatory training session from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the high school the night before the screening. Volunteers can work a single screening date or multiple screening dates. The screening dates scheduled for this fall are: • Aug. 18 – Gardner-South Wilmington High School • Sept. 1 – Morris Community High School • Sept. 20 and 21 – Minooka Commu-

nity High School Central Campus • Oct. 4 – Coal City High School • Oct. 25 and 26 – Minooka Community High School South Campus • Nov. 15 – Premiere Academy Morris The Rhythm of Our Youth screening program is scheduled at Seneca High School on March 21. In early 2017, Morris Hospital will be scheduling meetings with other schools in its service area to discuss screenings for the 201718 school year.

To volunteer to help at a Rhythm of Our Youth screening, call Karen Nowosielski at 815-705-7022, or visit www.morrishospital.org/rhythmofouryouth and click on the “Volunteers” tab to complete a volunteer form.

• GENEROSITY

Continued from page 3 An anonymous bidder got four tickets and a limo ride to the Christmas Eve Chicago Bears game for $2,800, and Jeff Eberhard was the high bidder for a Cubs quilt made by Terry Walls, coming in at $1,400. Tyson Ely was happy with his winning bid of $750 for a set of golf clubs.

“It’s a good cause,” Ely said.

Carrie Stuebinger and Sandy Lawson got the top bid of $500 for a fire truck ride to school, bidding for friend Randy Weiss, who hadn’t yet made it to the event from a baby shower earlier in the day.

“We come every year,” Lawson said, “because it’s the best cause there is for the people of Grundy County.”

Honored at the event was Gail Stuckey, wife of Owen Stuckey, whom Darlington said was their first volunteer when the event was held at Clayton’s Tap. Before that, he held the event at his bar across the street, Butler’s. Stuckey was tragically killed just after he volunteered to help Clayton’s with the event.

“I am a big fan of everything the organization does,” Gail Stuckey said.

Darlington said many volunteers make the event possible. She especially praised her two friends, Karen Looper Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media and Jan Close.

Tyson Ely was the high bidder for a set of golf clubs at Operation St. Nick’s “It’s a good team,” she said.

By BARBARA DAMROACH

Special to The Washington Post It’s the moment of truth. In the 1980s I was a casual user of Roundup, a popular herbicide that I applied mostly to poison ivy. By spraying or painting the foliage, I could kill the whole plant, roots and all.

In those days, Roundup, although toxic, was considered safe if handled carefully. In the 1990s, when an 80-footlong bank of poison ivy appeared next to my mailbox, I considered Roundup, but by then more concerns had been voiced about its harm to frogs and fish. To be on the safe side, I decided not to spray the poison ivy with Roundup. I subscribe to something called the precautionary principle, which means I prefer to avoid using a substance if I am not reasonably sure that it is poses no hazards.

At present, the active chemical in Roundup, glyphosate, is more hotly debated, thanks to the creation of “Roundup-ready” crops, which are engineered to survive glyphosate applications so farmers can weed their fields. A lot of this pesticide is used, and the ill effects ascribed to it include cancer and birth defects in people and infertility in cattle, as well as the de-

velopment of glyphosate-resistant superweeds. It turns up in human breast milk. It is suspected as the cause of gluten intolerance because of its use as a desiccant for earlier grain harvests. And it’s not approved for certified organic produce.

How bad is it? I’m not a scientist, and I don’t know. But here’s the funny thing: Whether the Environmental Protection Agency, in its current deliberations about glyphosate, gives it a grade of Pass, Fail or Incomplete, it will not, in any way, influence the way I garden. That’s because my abstinence from Roundup has taught me that I don’t need it.

Dealing with simple annual weeds is easy. If they’re small, you can disturb them with a skimming hoe on a dry day, and they’ll shrivel. Let them go, and you must pull them, dig them or attack them with a chopping hoe.

You can use your favorite mulch – hay, shredded bark, pine needles, grass clippings, landscape fabric, cardboard, newspaper – to prevent emergence.

For weeds that build underground empires, the answer is persistence. No plant will survive if you repeatedly remove its leaves, because it will not be able to photosynthesize and thereby

feed its roots. Take the pasture grass and wild blackberries that creep into my garden from the adjoining field.

Loosening them with a digging fork, I pull up as much as I can. When bits of root that are left behind sprout, I remove any foliage I see.

If I mow the edge of the field next to my plot, that helps, too. In fact, repeated mowing discourages even monster pests such as Japanese knotweed. I’d shear back the poison ivy if it ever returned, although I’d arm myself with plastic gloves and wash my clothes

and shoes thoroughly when done.

It’s tempting to use a herbicide in tight places. Would it hurt anyone to trickle some between the cobblestones in my terrace, where dandelions are hard to remove?

There are no fish to harm, although I like to encourage garter snakes, newts and toads. I’ve used plain old vinegar, which comes in gallon plastic jugs, and it works after enough applications. You also can buy horticultural vinegar that is four times as strong but costs more.

UP CLOSE Live Learning at 4-H Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – The annual Grundy County 4-H Fair is about more than just winning.

It’s what the members learn that is most important.

Conference judging is held for some projects where the member sits with a judge and answers questions about the project and what they learned from it. Often, even if a project didn’t turn out the way it should, the member can still place high due to the answers provided to the judge’s questions.

On Monday, the last day of the fair, cattle judge Patrick Kelly taught a group of 4-H members what the judge is looking for when they show their cattle.

Members took score on a sheet just like the judge and when the judging was complete, they were able to compare what they saw with what a judge saw in the ring.

TOP RIGHT: Judge Patrick Kelly points out aspects from the judging sheet to 4-H members as he explains how and why the judges make the decisions they do.

TOP LEFT: 4-H members interested in learning how cattle are judged were able to take part in an educational component Monday morning where they along with actual judges judged four animals and compared notes to see whether they chose the same winner.

ABOVE: Brant Baudino of Highland Ag holds a cow while 4-H members try their hand at judging.

MIDDLE LEFT: Avery Othon with Highland Ag brings a cow back to the barn.

RESILIENT RESIDENTS

Agencies, volunteers, residents came together in recovery

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – On the night of June 22, 2015, the village of Coal City lost about 50,000 trees when an EF3 tornado ripped through town and tore trunks, limbs and branches apart.

Many of those trees, particularly near Broadway Street, were decades old. What’s left of one such tree sits at Campbell Memorial Park across from the Village Hall and police department.

The tree’s large stump was given new meaning this summer when village officials attached to it a plaque commemorating the resilience of the community and how it came together in trying times, Village Administrator Matt Fritz said in June.

A ceremony was to be held on the one-year anniversary of the tornado, but, ironically, it was canceled due to severe weather.

Ken Miller, a resident of Coal City since 1972, chaired the Long-Term Recovery Committee that oversaw donation of funds and other efforts to assist residents in their recoveries. The committee has since disbanded, and while the plaque dedication was organized by the village and he had no involvement, Miller said Tuesday it’s a fitting way to honor a community that truly unified as one.

“There’s these situations happening in our country where a community gets torn apart,” Miller said. “It makes you wonder if the community spirit is still there. Our community’s response to the tornado reinforced that spirit is still there. My heart was so warmed by that.”

A total of 884 properties were damaged by the tornado, which left a 16.5-mile-long, 3⁄4-mile-wide path of destruction. Now, about 13 months later, Miller estimated 95 percent of affected people are back to normal.

For Coal City residents, there’s no secret as to why.

The plaque reads: “With our town in shambles, numerous agencies, volunteers and townspeople stepped up to help their neighbors and their town.”

Assistance came from the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, United Way of Grundy County, Community Foundation of Grundy County and more. Miller said people at his church asked him, “How could God let this happen?” Miller replied that God wasn’t in the tornado, he was in what happened after it.

“It renewed my faith in human na-

“There’s these situations happening in our country where a community gets torn apart.

Our community’s response to the tornado reinforced that spirit is still there. My heart was so warmed by that.”

ture,” Miller said. “People poured out their hearts and time to help us.”

Village officials recognized this as well, as the plaque continued to read: “From a grateful village, this plaque is dedicated to everyone who helped in bringing Coal City and its residents back to normal.”

Coal City resident and Community Foundation of Grundy County Program Director Devan Gagliardo said the plaque shows how much the village

has progressed through such a tough time, noting that it signifies a fresh start while not forgetting what hap-

pened. It’s a reminder, also, that about 30 people still are displaced from the tornado, and they are not forgotten.

Community Foundation holding ‘listening tour’ Each summer we host town hall meetings around Grundy County – they serve as our “listening tour.” We do a quick overview of the Foundation’s work (we try to be quick!) then open it up to the audience to hear what’s happening in the area. Are there needs we can help with? Can we design a grant to solve a problem?

Our first two town hall meetings are coming up July 28. We’ll be at the Mazon American Legion at 2 p.m. and at the Gardner Restaurant at 7 p.m.

Everyone is invited – especially if you reside or own a business in the southern parts of the county. This includes Mazon, Verona, Kinsman, Gardner, South Wilmington and Braceville.

The town hall meetings are free to attend and we provide dessert. And, most importantly, these are not fund-

VIEWS Julianne Buck raising events.

If you have something to say, are frustrated about something happening (or not happening) in Grundy County, or want to brainstorm, we’d love to hear it. We may not be the only organization to fix it, but we can pass the message along and be part of the solution.

On another topic, we took a summer break from “Nonprofit Tools for Success,” but we’re ready to start up again. “Marketing Tips” is the topic for August and Todd from Allegra (formerly Bailey Printing) in Coal

City is our guest speaker with a topic of: “How can local nonprofits better communicate their services … on a budget?”

It will start at 5 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Foundation office, 520 W. Illinois Ave. in Morris, in the historic Coleman Hardware building. The event is free and snacks are provided. All nonprofits in the region are invited to attend. Our definition of “nonprofit” includes charities, social services, churches, governmental agencies, taxing bodies, Chambers, service clubs and more.

Lastly, “thank you” to everyone who attended the July 20 “Coffee & Company” business-before-hours at our office. We were thrilled to introduce our new part-time tenant, Illinois Valley Industries’ Employment Options.

Employment Options is a new program to help people with disabilities find and keep jobs. IVI is famous for its services for adults with developmental delays. This new program serves Grundy residents with all types of disabilities – from minor to major – which includes vision, hearing and mobility disabilities.

Jamie Rios is the Employment Options coordinator and she is in her new office at 519 W. Illinois Ave. in Morris on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 8 a.m. to noon.

If you have a disability and would like employment assistance – or are a local company looking to hire – please stop by to see her!

OPINIONS

The tables have turned in Illinois campaign spending During the second quarter of 2012, the Illinois House Republican Organization’s largest reported campaign expenditure was a $12,612 payment to the Internal Revenue Service. Indeed, six of HRO’s 10 largest expenditures that quarter were for IRS payments, most likely quarterly withholding.

But four years later, the HRO’s spending focus is solidly on the campaign. The House Republicans’ top reported expenditure this past quarter was $173,000 for polling. And five of its top 10 expenditures were listed as advertising buys.

All told, the House Republican Organization spent nearly $1.8 million during the second quarter of this year, which ended June 30, on a campaign that’s already in full swing – on one side at least. Almost all of the money raised by HRO came from the Illinois Republican Party, and that money mostly came from Gov. Bruce Rauner.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Illinois Republican Party reported spending just $4,130.63 on all expenses.

This past quarter, however, the state GOP spent well over $2.7 million, with the bulk of that ($2 million) going to the House Republican Organization.

The state party received an unprecedented $5 million check from Rauner’s campaign earlier in the quarter.

By contrast, the Democratic Party of Illinois reported spending just 99 cents on state campaign activities during the recently concluded second quarter (the expenditure was not itemized). And while Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan reported spending $283,000 out of his personal campaign fund, his largest reported expenditure by far this past quarter was for IRS payments.

The House Republicans have flooded the airwaves of southern Illinois with massive advertising buys targeting three Democrats: Reps. John Bradley and Brandon Phelps and Sen. Gary Forby. It’s also running cable and network TV ads against several other Democrats. Only recently have some Democrats responded with their own ads. A new TV ad against Forby, officially paid for by the House Republican Organization even though Forby is a senator, blasts the incumbent Democrat for being in Madigan’s pocket. It’s way over the top because Forby

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller isn’t really a “Madigan Democrat,” but that’s beside the point. Madigan is hugely unpopular, so that’s just the way it goes.

“For decades,” the ad begins, “Mike Madigan has had an iron grip on Springfield and our own state Senator Gary Forby. Forby has helped Madigan drive Illinois into the ditch, raising our taxes while shortchanging our schools. Fourteen times, Forby’s backed Madigan’s phony budgets. $13 billion in deficit spending, to double the income tax and expand the sales tax. Forby rubber-stamped Madigan’s bailout for Chicago Public Schools.

Gary Forby – Mike Madigan’s senator, not ours.”

Forby has withstood millions of dollars in attacks since he first ran for the Illinois House in 2000, defeating a Republican opponent at the time by less than 3 points.

A recent direct mailer sent by the Illinois Republican Party has a photoshopped image of Madigan sitting at a restaurant table while Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillside, stands behind him dressed as a bow-tied waiter in a fancy restaurant with a cloth napkin draped over one arm. “Doubletalking Mike Smiddy Serving Mike Madigan Since 2013,” the front page blares. Smiddy was first elected without Madigan’s help and is not considered a “minion.” But, again, Madigan is intensely disliked. And you go with what works in campaigns.

Will this focus on Madigan and Madigan alone work? It hasn’t in the past, but the governor’s people obviously believe it will or they wouldn’t be putting so many resources into this theme. The Democrats will use a very unpopular Rauner against Republicans, and they are expecting to benefit from their usual turnout bump during a presidential year. They also have a very impressive organization. We’ll all find out in November who’s right.

Summer is a busy time at Saratoga

One of the things that I get asked most in the summer is, “Do you have to work in the summer?”

The answer to that question is “Yes.” Many people don’t realize everything that happens in a school during the summer.

Believe it or not, the summer can actually be amazingly busy in a school.

For one thing, there are only 11 weeks to clean every single piece of furniture, put fresh coats of wax on floors, clean carpets and paint any walls that need painting.

At Saratoga, the cleaning crew starts at 6 a.m. every day and works all summer until everything inside and outside of the school is ready for a new year.

Summer is also the only time that there is access to the school and grounds to do larger building projects, such as change flooring, install playgrounds, add or maintain parking lots, and improve heating,

COMMUNITY PULSE Kathy Perry ventilation and air conditioning.

I couldn’t begin to tell you the number of boxes that get delivered to a school during the summer.

So far this summer, we have issued 100 purchase orders.

Basically everything that we know we will need for the next school year gets ordered over the summer so that it is ready on day one of school.

This includes paper, workbooks, art supplies, computers, school buses and so much more. That means that every single box has to be unpacked and the contents delivered to where it needs to be.

The financial office at a school actually is the busiest during the summer.

The fiscal year ends on June 30 each year, which means that all of the annual financial reports must be completed over the summer.

Salaries also change in the summer, which requires all employees’ payroll information to be updated.

A huge project over the summer is finalizing the invoices for the shared services between the Morris schools.

Believe it or not, the Morris schools traveled about 525,000 miles last school year.

Every single mile has to be tracked based on which district it was for, along with whether it was for regular education, special education, field trip or extracurricular trip.

Once all of the miles are categorized, then each district has to send an annual transportation report to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Finally, the summer weeks are spent improving curriculum, regis-

tering and dropping students that move in and out of the district, establishing class lists, “cleaning” and setting up computers, and planning for school improvement.

In a few weeks, a new school year will begin and 32 school buses will be scouring the town and country of Morris to pick up more than 2,000 students.

When the students and teachers get busy with teaching and learning Aug. 17, all of the preparation that took place over the previous 11 weeks to get ready for the new year basically is invisible – but very necessary and much appreciated!

Hospital awards Fire Starter of the Month for treating cancer patients SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Cassandra Worley of Romeoville was honored as Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers’ Fire Starter of the Month for June.

Whether she’s comforting a cancer patient who is undergoing radiation treatment or guiding staff in their dayto-day operations, Worley always finds a way to make each situation positive as supervisor of the Radiation Therapy Center at Morris Hospital. Her warm and caring personality, along with her enduring kindness, make her the type of person others feel good about being around.

Worley’s heart has been into what she does ever since she was in her late teens and decided to pursue a degree as a radiation therapist after the untimely death of her 21-year-old cousin to melanoma.

Not long after graduating from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in radiologic technology and an emphasis in radiation therapy, Worley moved back to the southwest suburbs and was working at a cancer center in Joliet when she decided to check out Morris Hospital’s new Radiation Therapy Center when it was under construction in 2004. She has remained as part of the core team at the

Radiation Therapy Center of Morris Hospital ever since.

“As supervisor, Cassie is very supportive of the staff and does an excellent job giving them guidance on daily operations,” said Liz Bates, director of Imaging Services and Patient Access at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers. “She is 110 percent committed to our patients and always treats them with a great deal of dignity and respect.

She connects with them on a personal level.”

Worley said she is grateful to be part of the team at Morris Hospital and that it’s rewarding to help patients who have been diagnosed with cancer.

“When patients are undergoing radiation treatment for cancer, they come to us daily over a period of time,” she said. “They look to us to make things better for them. Even for patients who can’t be cured, we provide palliative care to treat their pain. We’re here for them emotionally too. I’m amazed that many patients look forward to coming in for their treatments. That’s what I find most rewarding.”

While Worley knows she could work at a cancer center closer to her Romeoville home, she doesn’t think anything of her daily commute to Morris. In fact, she says working at a place she really loves is worth the drive.

Cassandra Worley of Romeoville was the Fire Starter of the Month for June at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers.

“I love what Morris Hospital is about,” Worley said. “It’s like a big family to me, and Morris Hospital is very good to its employees.”

In early civilizations, fire starters were the individuals who had the important job of keeping the flame alive.

As Fire Starter of the Month, Worley received a Grundy County Chamber of Commerce gift certificate, a Morris Hospital logoed clothing item of her choice, a special “Fire Starter” lapel pin, and a designated parking spot for the month.

SOURCES OF CARE One of the most frequent reasons given for not using a particular senior caregiving service is lack of awareness that the service is offered.

When senior loved ones are no longer able to care for themselves adequately, caregiving options need to be explored. Ask doctors and friends about the services available in the local area. Some community and government agencies offer senior programs as do certain religious organizations. Internet sites about caregiving for the elderly may list services that are being offered publicly. Browse web sites for private companies that provide qualified caregivers for in-home caregiving. Knowing how to locate appropriate caregiving options can make a significant difference in the level of care loved ones receive.

Our experienced team of professionals can assist with identifying and capturing additional in home assistance. We know that your loved one’s needs can change suddenly, and so we offer a flexible menu of options to fit your current situation.

38 BOLINGBROOK LINEMAN CHALLENGE

Morris linemen temper their steel

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – For most of the summer, any high school football action is limited to 7-on-7 passing clinics, camps or tournaments. That gives the running backs, wide receivers, defensive backs and linebackers something to do besides lift weights and run.

But what about the linemen?

The big guys up front – or as legendary college football broadcaster Keith Jackson used to refer to them, “the big uglies” – generally toil away like to they do in the regular season. By themselves, unnoticed and unsung.

However, a championship team rarely can say, “You know, our line wasn’t very good that year.” For most teams, a good foundation up front, on both offense and defense, is the key to success.

Morris, emerging from a season that had the Redskins finish 4-5 and out of the playoffs, believes that the players up front will be key to improving that record and hopefully translating it into a deep postseason run.

They took their linemen out of the weight room last week and took part in the 36th annual Bolingbrook Lineman Challenge. The event, which has been referred to in the past as the “Fat Guy Olympics,” is always popular as it gives the linemen a chance to show they are more than just big bodies wearing numbers in the 60s and 70s.

Each five-man unit went through a variety of physical tests that put their speed, agility and teamwork to the test, as well as their brute strength. Besides bench press, in which each player had a chance to press 185 pounds as many times as possible, events included a 40yard dash, an obstacle course, a shuttle relay, a medicine ball toss and fiveman sled push.

Morris brought three five-man units to the competition. One was what appears to be the starting offensive line for the 2016 season – senior Jared Aiken, juniors Nolan Feeney, Brennan Goff and Nathan Korte, and sophomore Dylan Swartz, while another was the probable starting defensive line of Avery Hoffman, Sean Grogan, Alonzo Enriques, Bobby Stuebinger and Michael Hernandez. The third will be the primary backups on both sides of the ball and consisted of Burton Hess, Joey Lyle, Noah McCorkhill, Zack Hipes and Kaden Laurie.

When the first unit finished the shuttle relay, both the first and second units had the top two times of the day.

In the bench press, the first unit totaled 90 repetitions of 185 pounds among the

But the day wasn’t ultimately about raw numbers.

“This is where we come to have our fun for the summer,” Feeney said. He will be the Redskins’ center this fall.

“Anytime you get to get out and compete in something, it’s fun. The team looks good and we were working well together in most of the events.

“We feel like we have something to prove this year, and we have a lot more experience this year than we did last year and that will help us.”

Goff said his knee is feeling 100 percent, and he is itching to get the season underway as well.

Bolingbrook 7-on-7 Passing Jamboree, summer heat both test Redskins’ mettle

By TIM TIERNEY

Shaw Media correspondent

• Thursday, July 28, 2016

BOLINGBROOK – The competition at the Bolingbrook 7-on-7 Passing Jamboree wasn’t the only challenge for teams to handle during the annual event.

Morris was among the 26 squads to endure sweltering weather Saturday as the Redskins prepared for the 2016 season, which kicks off Aug. 26.

“Our second game last year at Washington, on the turf, it had to be 95 degrees out,’’ Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “We need to prepare to play in this. It never fails – every single year, week one, two or three – one of those games you get this.

“We’ve got to get used to playing in it. And I think our guys are in good shape. We work hard in the summer. I don’t think conditioning is a problem with us right now.’’

Morris participated in smaller versions of 7-on-7s earlier in the summer with Coal City and Wilmington, to name a few opponents.

“In the beginning, you’re just learning your offense and your defense,’’ Thorson said. “That’s the basics. At this point, you want to be crisp, your timing needs to be there. I think the biggest thing we take out of these is just seeing how they react to competition, especially this one.’’

The Bolingbrook event literally takes that competition to a larger scale.

“In July, we like to go against a lot of bigger schools,’’ Thorson said. “We’ve done ones with Plainfield South, Joliet West. And obviously, coming up here and seeing (Class) 6A, 7A, 8A schools.’’

Thorson named Bloom, Glenbard East, Bolingbrook and Montini as examples of schools at the Bolingbrook 7-on-7 that provide a large-school measuring stick for Morris.

season and is expected to be the starter this year, recognizes the benefits of off-season scrimmages.

“The competition over the summer really helps out along the way,’’ Del Favero said. “It makes our passing game progress further. Being protected in 7-on-7s is definitely different than being on the field because you have just so much time to throw the ball.’’

If time runs out to throw the ball this fall, Thorson believes Del Favero has the ability to escape the pass rush.

“He’s a good quarterback,’’ Thorson said. “He’s an athlete, too. He’s a good runner.’’

Keagan Sobol, a returning starter at fullback and linebacker, realizes a team has to be able to throw at times to be successful.

The 7-on-7 scrimmages gave participants an opportunity to work on their passing attack and recognize coverage.

At the Bolingbrook event, each team played six scrimmages – three in the morning and three in the afternoon.

“If a team is just one dimensional, they can load up everybody in the box,’’ Sobol said. “Nobody can run on that. If you can get one deep pass, one good pass in any series can open up the entire drive. This is really important.’’

Sobol, Michael Feeney and Michael Gerischer, all backfield returnees from last season, won’t be threats just running with the ball.

“We’re always a run team, but all three of those backs can catch well,’’ Thorson said.

Delaney Stutzki, a returning starter

at receiver, will be joined by Payton Voitik, Tyler Spiezio and Kameron Dransfeldt from last year’s sophomore squad.

Morris fell to 4-5 last season after the tradition-rich Redskins reached the Class 5A quarterfinals in 2014.

“It was hard. It’s not something we want to make a habit of,’’ Thorson said. “You go from the state quarterfinals the year before to 4-5. We were young, especially on the line. We knew there would be some growing pains.

Unfortunately, we just missed out.’’

Morris has six home games this year, including three in a row to start the season.

“That’s awesome,’’ Sobol said. “It’s a dream for your senior year. It’s exactly what you want.’’

Using technology to find fish in deep water What a week. My family recently returned from an excursion to Branson, Missouri.

While most of the extended relatives worked the various attractions, I had one thing on my mind: I could not wait to dip the boat into Table Rock Lake.

It has been a decade since I last ran those highland reservoir waters and I missed it. Table Rock Lake was one of the first bodies of water where I cut my tournament teeth.

I’ve had good days there and plenty of rough ones, but each time I learned more and developed a healthy respect for one of the top fisheries in the Midwest.

If I had my choice of dates to fish, though, the end of July would not be it. While winter, spring and early summer are dynamite, the dog days and fall can be tough on Table Rock.

As I drove and checked the weather forecast, I knew that “tough” would be an understatement.

The weather gurus predicted excessive heat, no clouds, bluebird skies, and little or no wind. For an avid angler, those descriptive words combine to form a fishing nightmare. Now add in clear water

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers conditions and the nightmare might just reach new proportions.

I was confident that catching fish by targeting visible cover would not happen. In fact, I’m sure I could have fished the entire week and only landed a couple that way. No, these fish would be deep and likely suspended in submerged treetops.

Depending on the part of the lake, deep may exceed 40 feet.

The first morning, my son and I scheduled just a few hours. I wanted to be off the water before noon and not roast. We messed around with some topwater, and then tried flutter spoons around docks. Cody and I nabbed three with only one of those being a decent catch.

I flipped on my outdated and technologically insignificant graph and grew frustrated. I needed a new one if I was going to target deep fish.

Southwestern Missouri happens to be home to the granddaddy of out-

doors stores, so I packed my wallet full of intentions of purchasing a new unit.

Several hundred dollars later, I spent the rest of that afternoon installing the new graph on the bow of my boat. By 10 o’clock that night, it was wired, mounted and ready to find some fish.

I bought the latest in down imaging technology. I wanted to pick those submerged trees out and see if fish were suspended on them or relating to the bottom.

The next morning arrived and, with great anticipation, we flew to the launch. The sun was baking down and it was time to see whether I could make use of my new toy. I fiddled with the settings until I got a nice, crisp output on the 7-inch screen. I maneuvered the boat with the trolling motor looking for anything suspended or hugging the bottom of the lake.

The readout looks nothing like what you might think. The images I was hunting for may resemble an arch or even a blob with a density reading different than the surrounding lake bed.

In a few minutes, I marked a

place that looked promising.

Several whitish blips appeared to be relating to a ledge with submerged trees. I steadied the boat right over the spot and let my drop shot rig slip to the bottom. I watched my line sink on the electronic graph to the target.

Once the lure hit the bottom both my son and I got instantaneous strikes. Moments later we held two nice spotted bass.

Over the course of that morning and the next we caught a lot.

The ability to use electronics to help pinpoint where fish are is an amazing tool. The technology has advanced so far in the last decade.

If you have not updated your boat’s graphs recently, now may be the time to do so.

As we pulled out of Table Rock Lake for the last time, I turned and admired it. Another memory made on one of my favorite places to fish.

If you have questions about using electronics to find fish and catch them, drop me a line.

Good luck.

The Irish finished second in the tourney. squeak out a 5-1 win over the Wisconsin Stealth. The key hit for the Irish was a two-run, two-out double by Emily Owens in the sixth inning.

The Irish faced elimination again and came away with a 1-0 win over the Indiana Clovers.

Claus made a game-saving diving catch in center field with two runners on in the sixth to preserve the Irish lead. She also threw out a runner at the plate trying to tag for a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Tonozzi also made a diving catch at third to save a run in the second.

Bushman had a 3-for-3 game as Emily Owens (2 hits) successfully squeezed her in for the only run of the game.

Rachel Sangston tossed a gem, going the distance in a four-hitter with two

strikeouts.

In the Irish’s fifth game of the day, and third straight facing elimination, they defeated the Michigan Blue Ice, 5-4. Abbey Moore drilled a two-run double to tie the game, and Bree Szambelan added a key single for her third RBI of the game to give the Irish a 5-4 lead. Bushman threw four innings of one-hit relief to earn the win.

That victory put the Irish in the Final Four, where they beat the River Valley Rage, 11-6, on the strength of a five-run third inning.

Bushman, Owens, Claus and Kylie Winsor continued to get on base and Tonozzi and Claus each had bases-clearing triples. Owens and Bushman each had three hits, while Claus, Tonozzi, Szambelan, Winsor and Spe-

sia each had two hits.

The Irish followed that with a 6-5 win over the previously undefeated Effingham Flames, scoring four runs in the first inning. Claus, Winsor and Moore all had crucial two-out RBI singles to knock in runs in the first. With the game tied 4-4 in the fifth, Harris hit a two-run homer to give the Irish the 6-4 lead.

In the title game, the Irish dropped a 6-1 decision to the undefeated Kentucky Outlaws.

The Irish team finished 35-16 on the season, winning the NSA 16U state championship and placing second at the NSA World Series. They also competed in ASA and USSSA tournaments, placing fourth at Joliet USSSA and seventh at Peoria USSSA.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Despite facing elimination from the NSA World Series three times in one day, the Illinois Irish 16U softball team finished second at the NSA World Series.

The Irish – a team comprised mostly of girls from Seneca, along with one each from Coal City, Minooka and Morris – opened bracket play with a 13-5 win over Safe Haven Rockets. Rachel Sangston threw five innings with five strikeouts, and Cassie Claus and Molly Harris each had two hits and two RBIs. The Irish then lost to KGSSL Aftershock, 5-1, despite Taylor Bushman going 3-for-3 with a double.

The loss put the Irish into the losers bracket, where they faced a tougher road to the championship. They began that trek with a 5-3 win over the Southern Indiana Cyclones. Bushman had two hits and a walk, while Harris had two hits and Abby Spesia had a tworun double. Rachel Sangston got the win, with Bushman coming on for the final 12⁄3 innings for the save.

The next bracket game was 5-3 through five innings, but the Irish erupted for six runs in the top of the sixth to break it open for an 11-3 win over the Knox County Crush. Clutch hitting by Breanna Szambelan and Brooke Tonozzi keyed the uprising, as the pair hit back-to-back two-run doubles. Claus and Kylie Winsor each produced RBI singles in the inning as well.

In the next bracket game, the Irish dropped a 7-3 decision to the Kentucky Outlaws, forcing them to stave off elimination in their next three games.

TASTY BURGER TOPPINGS

Sauces hail from around the globe

Aioli, a garlicky mayonnaise from Provence, pairs perfectly with a juicy burger.

Javier Armendariz - FreeImages.com

By LINDA BASSETT More Content Now

Hamburgers are always a hit. Especially in summer.

I pulled together some topping recipes from around the globe – Asia, France and Mexico. All taste great on a burger in a soft seeded roll or a big fat bulky roll. Tasty without the roll, too.

Slather them on as thickly as you like.

The burgers just get better and better.

Best part: You never need to turn on your stove to make these.

From Asia, there’s raita, a creamy cucumber sauce, and a peanut-y sauce meant for chicken but delicious on a burger, too. From France, two classics: Tapenade, a salty olive spread, and the garlicky mayonnaise from Provence called aioli. We all love traditional Mexican salsa and guacamole, buying them by the gallon. Homemade versions will up your game.

RAITA

Makes about 1 cup.

This cool cucumber sauce, made with yogurt, is healthy and luscious.

2 cups plain whole milk Greek yogurt 1 large English cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated 1 teaspoon coarse grain sea salt 2 heaping tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro 4 heaping tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint Place the yogurt in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Refrigerate for an hour to drain out any extra moisture.

Stir together the yogurt, grated cucumber, cilantro and mint in a bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; chill for 30 minutes. Taste; and stir in salt.

Process all above ingredients together until smooth.

TAPENADE

Makes about 1-½ cups

1 cup cured black or green olives, pitted 2 anchovy fillets 4 tablespoons capers 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1-½ tablespoons Cognac or brandy, optional 1 tablespoon fresh grated orange zest ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Have all ingredients at room temperature to make this decadent garlic mayonnaise.

8 to 10 cloves garlic, peeled 2 egg yolks salt, pepper to taste 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard 1-½ cups olive oil

Puree the garlic in a food processor, tossing the cloves through the feed tube while the motor runs. Add eggs, salt, pepper, lemon juice and mustard, pulsing until smooth.

With the machine running, pour a few drops of the oil through the feed tube, then in a slow, steady stream until the mixture thickens. Refrigerate, covered, up to 3 days.

chopped ½ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, chopped 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste Salt and black pepper, to taste Place onion, jalapenos, garlic and avocadoes in a food process. Process in short pulses, mixing coarsely. Add cilantro and lime juice, pulse to mix all ingredients. Taste for seasoning.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory Sheldon and Bernadette (Jim Parsons, Melissa Rauch) get to know each other better in “The Fermentation Bifurcation,” when she’s unable to join the rest of the gang at a wine tasting. The others encounter Penny’s (Kaley Cuoco) former beau (guest star Brian Thomas Smith), which naturally doesn’t make Leonard (Johnny Galecki) too comfortable. Raj (Kunal Nayyar) introduces his new girlfriend (guest star Alessandra Torresani) to his friends.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Running Wild With Bear Grylls Zac Efron has shown his talents in everything from “High School Musical” and “Hairspray” to “The Lucky One” and “Neighbors,” but how is he at wilderness challenges? This episode answers that, in one of the reality show’s celebrity encounters with adventurer Grylls. As an indication of how well Efron adapts to the tasks handed him, it wasn’t kept secret when this first aired that he makes a meal of a bug during the hour.

7 p.m. on _ WLS BattleBots The NFL’s Vernon Davis returns as a guest judge in the new episode “The Good, The Bot, and The Ugly: The Round of 32 Concludes,” which indeed puts a capper on the showdown among the 32 teams that advanced from the preceding round. The robots pair off in three-minute fights, and if there’s no decisive victor, the judges — who also include Fon Davis and Jessica Chobot — must select a winner.

ESPN’s Samantha Ponder serves as host, with Chris Rose on play-by-play.

7 p.m. on + WTTW Democratic National Convention It’s been a long, often contentious road getting here — but by the time this final night of the Democrats’ gathering is over at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, American voters will have their principal candidate choices for the November presidential election. PBS offers full primetime coverage, with ABC, CBS and NBC planning hourlong reports (which could be extended if events and timing warrant).

The cable news networks also will provide substantial coverage.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free It’s another round of sweat equity for those still in the competition in “Flying Solo/ Skill Got It,” a two-hour presentation that combines two new episodes.

Jane Lynch guides the shenanigans.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Greatest Hits Some artists made the transition from the 1990s to the 2000s, but the start of a new decade — and century — also gave rise to other music stars who would make their marks for the first time. Some of them are featured in this new episode that spans songs from 2000 to 2005, with a number of the tunes’ original singers appearing here to croon them. They include Lee Ann Womack, while Little Big Town, Fifth Harmony and co-host Kelsea Ballerini salute others.
