Wake me up... when Olympics end The 2016 Summer Olympics are about to start in Rio de Janeiro.

I remember when the Olympics were a big deal. People got excited for them.

Of course, that was before big money took over and they decided to switch them up and stagger the winter and summer games so that we have some sort of Olympics every two years instead of every four. And, it was before there were so many TV channels to choose from, so you ended up watching the Olympics because they were on one of the few channels you had.

I can almost guarantee that I won’t watch any of the Olympics this year. For one, I don’t have cable anymore. I will check ESPN every day to see how things are going, but I won’t be staying up late to see the United States playing anyone in anything.

To be honest, I haven’t really been that interested in the Olympics since the USA sent pro basketball players in 1992. The beauty of the games was that they were

VIEWS Rob Oesterle played by amateurs, even if the U.S. lost once in a while. I didn’t understand in my younger days that other countries gave their athletes job titles in name only and paid them to train for the games.

Once the U.S. Olympic Committee decided they needed to send a Dream Team to the basketball tournament, the Olympics took on all the luster of an All-Star game in any of the major sports.

Fun to watch a little bit of, but hardly the pinnacle of competition.

This year, the biggest stories coming from the Olympic standpoint are the Zika virus and the fact that just about every Russian who wanted to enter has been banned due to blood doping. It used to be fun to watch and see who would win the

LOOKING UP

100-meter dash and be dubbed the Fastest Man in the World. Now, unless Usain Bolt gets hurt between now and then, we know the answer to that one. It just doesn’t seem the interest is there like it used to be.

Yet, they keep trotting the games out every other year and cities keep competing with each other to host them, only to go into significant debt that it takes nearly forever to get out of. But TV stations keep paying big bucks for the right to show them, so we are going to keep getting them.

I understand that the athletes put in enormous time and effort in order to be named to the Olympic team, and I applaud them for that. It’s certainly no easy task. But that doesn’t mean that I have to watch them. I have “Stranger Things” queued up on Netflix.

STILL SERVING

Navy Reserve veteran Charles Brown receives Congressional Veteran Commendation

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com DIAMOND – Charles Brown signed up to serve his country at age 17, in 1960 when he was a senior at Coal City High School.

The son of a World War I Army veteran, Brown knew the Army wasn’t where he wanted to go, and because 70 percent of graduating seniors at the time were being drafted, he drove to Rockdale to meet with a Navy Reserve recruiter and signed on the dotted line.

“Within a couple of weeks of going active duty in 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis started and I was sent on a ship to Cuba,” Brown said. “I was on a ship that fueled other ships while out at sea.”

It was three decades later that Brown learned he had earned a medal for his time in Cuba.

The Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal is an award of the U.S. military, which was created in 1961 by executive order of President John Kennedy, according to the National Archives. The medal is awarded for participation in “any military campaign of the United States for which no other service medal is authorized.”

The first campaign of the AFEM was the Cuban Missile Crisis and the award was issued for military service between October 1962 and June 1963.

His role in the Cuban Missile Crisis is what led Brown to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, where he now serves as commander at the St. Juvin Post 1336 VFW in Coal City.

Brown’s wife, Kathy Brown, nominated Charles for the 2016 Congressional Veteran Commendation in the 16th District of Illinois, doing so

based on not only his service to his country, but also his service to his community.

On June 22 in Washington, D.C., U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, recognized Brown and seven other veterans from the district.

“The eight veterans receiving this commendation have served this country honorably and fought for the freedoms we hold dearly. These

veterans answered their country’s call during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, and they served with honor and distinction,” Kinzinger said.

“As a fellow war veteran, I thank them for their patriotism and sacrifices on behalf of our nation. After these veterans served their country, they came home to serve their communities. They are civic leaders,

active citizens, and many continue to serve their military brothers and sisters through veteran service organizations. Although their mission has changed since returning to civilian life, their leadership and tenacity have not.”

Brown said that he learned a lot about leadership and working as a

Neighbors take aim at shooting range proposal

By TONY SCOTT

tscott@shawmedia.com YORKVILLE – A group of neighbors packed a Wednesday evening meeting of the Kendall County Regional Planning Commission in Yorkville to voice their opposition to a proposed outdoor shooting range.

Robert Delaney wants to open Dirt Road Range on his property at 16502 Church Road, just north of the Grundy-Kendall county line, and is asking for special-use agricultural zoning to do so.

The range would have 24 shooting lanes with a shooting distance of 75 feet, according to county documents. It would be open starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays, and would close at 8 p.m. or a half-hour before dusk.

Commission members voted to postpone a vote on the issue until their Aug. 24 meeting, as a number of conditions were added to the Delaney proposal.

Tom Casey voted against postponing the vote.

A standing-room-only crowd voiced objections to the range, saying they were concerned about noise, additional traffic and its effect on property values.

Daniel J. Kramer, a Yorkville attorney representing Delaney, told the commission that there are more than 30 special uses allowable in the area, including shooting ranges.

Delaney said he would like to sell ammunition at the range, but not firearms. Long rifles and shotguns would not be allowed to be fired at the range.

Delaney said he has not done a decibel study regarding the potential noise from the range. After being asked by commissioners, Delaney said he does not have experience running a shooting range but he had two range supervisors who are trained.

Delaney stated in his proposal that the range would be open to law enforcement officers and federal flight deck officers for training.

Greg Peterson, who owns the property directly to the west of the proposed range, said neighbors are not anti-gun but that he has a number of objections to the proposal.

He said Delaney uses an easement on his property to access his land, and fears his residential driveway will be used for Delaney’s “commercial endeavor with a huge increase in traffic” if the range is approved.

Peterson said Delaney already allows people to shoot on his property, and that he knows that people three miles away can hear the shots. He also is concerned that his property values would decrease.

“No reasonable person would want to live on our property if this is ap-

Whitewillow Road resident proved,” he said.

Roy Wake, a Whitewillow Road resident, said noise from shooting at the property is already bothersome.

“There’s days that all I hear is bang, bang, bang,” he said. “It goes on and on and on; it don’t quit.”

Wake’s wife, Kathy, said the noise is bothersome to the retired couple. She said the noise also affects her emotionally, as their son killed himself using a gun.

“We’re a retired couple, we’re older, and we’re not living very peacefully right now where we are because of the gun shooting,” she said. “And it bothers me very much because in October of 2014, our oldest son took his life with a gun. We weren’t there, but I relive that.

I picture it in my mind, I hear the gun, I hear the shot. And if we have that range there, I don’t know how much I’ll be

able to stand.”

John Wolfinbarger, who lives in Plattville, said he has sent complaints to the county about Delaney using his property as a gun range currently without a special-use zoning permit.

“This organization has not followed the law,” he said. “And we are now supposed to assume that they’re gonna come out of the shadows and do it all legally and legit?”

John Sterrett, the county’s senior planner, confirmed that complaints had been filed about shooting at the property but noted some accused Delaney of allowing shooting there for two to three years. Delaney bought the property in December 2014 and has allowed his close family and friends for private shooting purposes, Kramer said.

Commissioner Roger Bledsoe asked

whether keys to the property would be given to members, and Delaney said there would be. However, Delaney said there must be range supervision whenever the range is open. Nelson asked what would stop a member from entering the property after hours if they had a key, and Delaney agreed that only the range masters should have keys.

Jeff Manning, a Whitewillow Road resident, said he was a commercial airline pilot and knew about the training FFDOs undergo. He said he did not want the range near his home.

“I am not anti-gun; I am pro-gun range,” he said. “If you move your location, I might even give you my business.

But I ask this commission to please reject this proposal. If you wouldn’t put a 24-lane outdoor gun range in your backyard, don’t put it in mine.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Will County judge on Tuesday denied prosecutors’ attempts to vacate the sentence of a Morris teen involved in a double-fatal car crash in Grundy County.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office had filed a motion asking Judge Chrystel Gavlin to throw out the plea agreement, claiming the defense committed fraud against the court during the sentencing process. Prior to his involvement in the double-fatal crash, the 16-year-old 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, according to court documents.

The teen’s lawyer, Ryan Wharrie, ne-

gotiated a plea agreement during a June 28 court appearance with the State’s Attorney’s Office where, in exchange for his guilty plea in the Joliet speeding case, the minor would be sentenced to 12 months of supervision, $450 in fines and costs, and traffic safety school, according to the motion seeking to vacate the agreement.

The minor was involved in a similar speeding incident June 21 in LaSalle County, where he was ticketed for driving 26 to 34 mph over the speed limit. Later that same day, he was issued a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident in the fatal crash, in which at about 6:50 p.m. Mark and Janice Wendling of Morris were bicycling west in the 4500 block of Old Stage Road and were hit from behind by the teen.

The minor was driving an SUV owned

by Morris District 54 Principal Chris

Maier, according to crash reports. The Wendlings both died as a result of the collision.

The minor is not being named, as he has not been charged as an adult. Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office, said the state will not appeal Tuesday’s ruling.

“We’ve never had this happen before,” Pelkie said.

He said the office has always relied on defense counsels to be candid, and would never have offered the disposition if it had known about the additional charges.

The 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 teen’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.

In the future, Pelkie said the office intends to request defense counsels disclose charges in other counties on the record when in court in Will County.

“We are extremely pleased with the Court’s ruling today that the defendant’s attorney did not commit a fraud on the Court in reaching a negotiated plea,” Larry Wharrie, a partner of The Wharrie Law Firm, stated in an email. “... The Court’s ruling totally vindicated Ryan Wharrie from any wrongdoing. We were confident that the Court would rule in the manner it did as the motion filed by the State was without any legal basis.”

Morris to go to bid on band shelter foundation, other park improvements

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

MORRIS – Bids for the installation of a band shelter foundation and tennis court improvements in Goold Park will be accepted Aug. 4 at the city clerk’s office.

The band shelter was approved in 2009

and has been housed by the city in storage while the parks committee viewed different locations for the structure.

The city paid about $109,000 for the materials in 2009. The shelter will include a stage and dressing rooms. The project was put on hold after neighbors of Goold Park voiced concerns about noise levels.

“We’ve put policies in place to address the issues,” Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said. “The events will not be going on into late hours, and it’s not something that will be used every day.”

The city also is going out to bid Aug. 4 for the Chapin Park restroom replacement. Kopczick said the city will address

some plumbing issues underground in addition to replacing the current structure with a newer building.

At Monday’s regular City Council meeting, Alderman Sid Nelson filed a disclosure to the city clerk of a conflict

“Voters may request vote by mail ballots online through our website, by phone, mail or in person,” Olson said in a news release. “State law allows anyone registered to vote, to vote by mail with no excuse necessary.”

Also, Olson reminds voters that, “Presidential Elections, historically, attract a very large voter turnout. We know your time is valuable. To avoid possibly waiting in long lines, we encourage voters to take advantage of one of the several options the County Clerk’s Office is offering, making it easier than ever for voters to exercise their right to vote.”

Registered voters can request to vote by mail by visiting www.grundyco.org and filling out the online request form, found under the Elections Department link, by calling the County Clerk’s Office at 815-941-3222 or by emailing elections@ grundyco.org .

Ballot requests will be fulfilled beginning Sept. 29, as required by statute, and the last day the clerk’s office is allowed to

mail a ballot is Nov. 3. Voters with questions may contact the County Clerk’s Office at 815-941-3222, or by email at elections@grundyco.org.

Another service the county clerk offers is the Permanently Disabled Voter Program. This program allows the clerk’s office to automatically send the voter an application and vote by mail ballot before every election that they qualify to vote in for a five-year period. If a voter is registered to vote in Grundy County, is permanently physically incapacitated and is unable to make it to the polling place, the voter is qualified to register for the program.

An application for an absentee voter’s five-year identification card must be properly completed and then signed by both the voter and his or her doctor once every five years. Once the application is completed and returned to the clerk’s office, it is then forwarded to the doctor, who completes and signs their section, and also returns the form. If the voter chooses, they may take the application to their physician to complete and return the form themselves. Voters who would like more information about the program should call the County Clerk’s Office at 815-941-3221.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger met last week with Grundy County officials to discuss the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act signed into law in July by President Barack Obama.

CARA was created to address the nation’s opioid addiction issues. The law includes a number of treatment and prevention measures intended to reduce prescription opioid and heroin misuse, including evidence-based interventions for the treatment of opioid and heroin addiction and prevention of overdose deaths.

Kinzinger, R-Channahon, shared during the morning meeting July 27 a phone call he received in the early morning hours from a friend whose son had overdosed and was dead.

The son, a student working toward becoming a doctor, had went out to cel-

ebrate his birthday and didn’t return home.

“What does it take for someone to put a needle in their arm?” Kinzinger said. “Most people are afraid of needles.”

Kinzinger said the law is the first in what he feels will be a multiple-step process to address addiction issues.

CARA supports the Adam expansion of diversion Kinzinger programs such as drug court, which Grundy and Will counties already have. The goal is to address low-level drug law violations with evidence-based treatment and services rather than sending offenders to jail.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said the cost of the program is about $5,000 a person, rather than the $35,000 it costs to incarcerate an offender.

“In order to decrease incarcerations, we need specialty courts,” Helland said. “Our drug court has about 20 people and our mental health court has 10. That is 30 people we are treating rather than incarcerating.”

CARA also supports the expanded provision of buprenorphine, methadone and other forms of medication-assisted treatment, including to people involved with the criminal justice system. Helland said many programs do not allow addicts to be on medication while enrolled, which he believes in unrealistic.

“You can’t expect an addict to go from use to no-use overnight,” Helland said.

CARA also supports expanded use of naloxone, or Narcan, by first responders and community members in a position to administer it to a person who is overdosing.

First responders in Illinois started carrying it after a law was signed last

year by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Grundy County Coroner John Callahan said the real question comes with the administration of naloxone with no follow-up.

“Many times locally Narcan has been issued, but if nothing is being done after it’s used, then what?” Callahan asked. “We are enabling them by giving them a false sense of security.”

Callahan said in Grundy County his office has confirmed three heroin overdoses this year and is waiting on results of three more suspected cases.

He said the bigger issue in Grundy County is prescription drugs.

“Our office takes in 30,000 to 40,000 pills a month at our five take-in sites throughout the county,” Callahan said.

Kinzinger said that at the end of the day it’s the user’s responsibility to get help.

“The community does what it can, but the addict needs to seek treatment,” Kinzinger said.

At Joliet Junior College, you can help your son or daughter ‘find their calling’ – without breaking the bank or opting for large student loans.

The homeowners association of Ninovan Lake Estates received approval for a license to supply power to two five-horsepower well pumps for a 40foot well they intend to dig to supply water to the subdivision’s ski lake.

Trustee Terry Houchens voiced concerns that the new well could affect existing private wells in the subdivision.

Superintendent of Public Works Ryan Anderson said the homeowners association had to go through the Grundy County Public Health Department for approval to dig the well.

The village’s aquifer, which is 1,500 feet deep, would not be impacted, Anderson said.

The village’s only role, Trustee Dennis Martin said, is to issue the license for the pumps on the property.

Houchens voted against the resolution. Trustee Rudy Martin was absent.

In other decisions: • Trustees amended some ordinances and repealed others after cleaning up village documents at recent Committee of the Whole meetings. Included in the changes is a fine of $200, plus the cost of mowing, for property owners who do not take care of noxious weeds within 10 days of notification.

The ordinance covering solicitors was also changed to include an application fee of $50, a $100 a year fee for transient merchants and a fee of $50 for 30 days or $200 a year for hawkers or peddlers.

• Trustees also approved, under protest, payments to the state for $18,500 for three National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permits, a fee imposed under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich to help balance the state budget collected through water usage fees.

Trustees annually approve the payment under protest in the event the fee is declared unmerited and is reversed.

MINOOKA – An amendment to the annexation agreement with the developer of Opus property will hopefully spur economic growth and bring more jobs to Minooka.

After a year of negotiations, Minooka village trustees approved at the July 26 meeting an agreement with Minooka Ridge Land LLC where everybody benefits, Village Administrator Dan Duffy said.

The amendment allows the developer to build a small retention pond onsite on 20 acres instead of a larger offsite pond, which was originally called for in the agreement.

The 120-acre property off-site, next to the Aux Sable Creek, was planned to serve the community as a public lake and park.

In exchange, the village gets back $320,000, representing the developer’s

share of the purchase price of the property. That will be used as seed money to attract an Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development grant for future development of the lake and park, Duffy said.

The developer contended that the larger off-site pond was not economically suitable, Duffy said.

The new agreement also reduces how far Mid Point Road is extended by the developer; in turn, Minooka Ridge will pay the village $550,000. Minooka Ridge also will upgrade the sanitary sewer lift station near Holt and Hare roads and construct a water main on the south side of Holt Road.

The Opus property includes warehouse facilities of Macy’s and Electrolux. A third piece of property will be constructed as a spec building.

“We are hoping the changes will spur more economic growth, development and jobs in the community much faster,” Duffy said.

Channahon village board considers land use ordinance

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – At the Channahon village board meeting Monday, trustees debated what to do about the many undeveloped housing lots in town.

Neighbors are unhappy with the weeds growing on the properties, staff reported, especially the vegetation growing on tall and unmowable dirt piles.

Trustees had asked staff to explore possibilities, and Director of Community Development Mike Petrick presented a draft of a dormant land use ordinance at the meeting.

Suggestions in the draft included requiring the owners of undeveloped properties to install turf grass, plant parkway trees and remove any “spoils piles.”

Petrick said the ordinance would enhance the appearance of the properties and discourage land investors from “sitting on” developable land with no intentions to develop it. He told the board the document contained ideas and that he was looking for direction on how to proceed.

“This is the most restrictive it can be,” Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher said. “Here’s a starting point.”

Petrick added that the restrictions might increase the cost to build a house and make it more difficult to find developers.

“You’re potentially punishing landowners,” he said.

Trustee Mark Scaggs, a developer, said that if the ordinance is approved as is, it could cost developers thousands of extra dollars.

Trustee Scott McMillin said he has spoken to residents who said they would be happy if the piles of dirt left on lots were reduced to make them

mowable.

Other residents in unfinished neighborhoods have complained that sidewalks end abruptly at properties.

Trustees agreed that weeds and high grass were the biggest problems with the lots.

Currently, the village contracts out to mow those not being taken care of to the cost of tens of thousands of dollars in a five-year period. Staff said they would continue to work on the ordinance, possibly for grass and weed considerations only.

Also Monday, the board approved erecting no-parking signs for Winchester Drive in northeastern Channahon.

A group of six residents of the Remington Woods subdivision came before the board in July asking the village to do something about driving problems along Winchester Drive, which connects the frontage road to their subdivision.

Semitrailers, they said, were parking along the street, making driving along the road difficult and unsafe. The trucks were parked along both sides of the street, the residents said.

The ordinance approved by trustees prohibits all parking on the south side of Winchester Drive.

Parking on the north side will be prohibited from 2 to 6 a.m. and should not to exceed four hours in duration other times.

Also Monday, trustees approved a move of $1.5 million of village reserves from three certificates of deposits that matured at the end of July to higher-paying municipal bonds.

Over a five-year period, Channahon could see a return of an additional $35,000 to $40,000 as a result of the move, according to bond manager Bernardi Asset Management LLC. Trustee Chantal Host was absent.

Grundy County Republican leaders spoke Tuesday in Minooka in favor of term limits and district map reform, along with Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, R-Westchester (center).

Mike Mallory – mmallory@shawmedia.com

Welter followed by saying that at this critical time in the state, new faces and fresh ideas are needed. He said Republicans and some Democrats agree on term limits to ensure the state government will be run by and for the people.

Long and Parkhurst said they stand by the Republican Party and Democrats who have spoken in favor of term limits. Parkhurst said she has chosen to term-limit herself, if elected.

“We need to be public servants and not make it a career,” she said.

Last month, a Cook County judge removed a constitutional amendment from the November ballot that would have taken away the General Assembly’s ability to draw district maps.

Durkin said though the fair maps

initiative is going before the Illinois Supreme Court next, legislators can pass the reforms by voting for the proposed constitutional amendments in the General Assembly. He said the amount of signatures on the petition to change districting cannot be ignored.

“My request is – as it has been repeatedly the past two years – is to have [Speaker Madigan] give a fair hearing – an up or down vote – on both constitutional amendments,” Durkin said of term limits and district maps.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said Tuesday afternoon that he is supportive of legislation to impose term limits on legislative leader positions, but term limits for House and Senate seats would cut off a lot of good work.

MINOOKA – State legislators representing Grundy County held a press conference Tuesday morning in Minooka with Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, R-Westchester, in a push to enact term limits for state House and Senate seats and to fairly map legislative districts.

Durkin was joined by state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris; state Rep. David Welter, R-Morris; Jerry Long – who is running in the 76th House District against state Rep. Andy Skoog, D-La Salle; and Lindsay Parkhurst – who is running in the 79th House District against state Rep. Kate Cloonen, D-Kankakee.

The group said that House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, has rigged the election system along with Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago.

Rezin said politicians in control for far too long have drawn district maps to benefit themselves in bids for reelection in the Democratic-majority House and Senate. She said that in the last year, a half-million people have signed a petition for a fair district map process and that about 40 percent of districts are truly contested in this fall’s general election.

JJC trustees see new initiatives of strategic enrollment plan

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College officials showed board trustees at last week’s meeting how they were trying to increase student enrollment and retention under a three-year strategic plan.

For the second year of the strategic enrollment plan – which was adopted by the board in 2014 – JJC officials have been focused on marketing, developmental education and course counseling.

The SEM plan was created to improve student enrollment and retention, as well as degree and certificate earners.

Success in the marketing aspect of the plan is measured in “call-to-action engagement,” Mike Hernandez, JJC marketing and creative services director, said at the July 26 meeting.

“A prospective student very rarely will come to our site and just apply immediately. They request information, they kick tires. …They’re sniffing out us versus other options,” Hernandez said.

For marketing, the college has launched a “You can” campaign, a new kind of registration guide and new TV commercials in English and Spanish, Hernandez said.

“Parents are a big influence. Parents are very influential in a student going to college,” he said about the approach to the commercials.

In the future, JJC officials plan to produce more digital campaigns for programs and use social media more, he said.

Board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich said after the presentation on the SEM plan that he would like to see a commercial showing a “dollar value in savings.”

“I’d like to see a commercial where parents are denied a loan for a new house because they had signed on to their student loans for their children. I think we need to be a little more specific in all of our focuses,” he said.

Yolanda Isaacs, JJC vice president of student development, said moving forward the SEM plan will be focused on more enrollment-driven initiatives, including those linked with technology.

“We understand that a lot of students – especially our [traditional students] – would like to receive text messages, push notifications, etc. So that’s something that we are working on currently,” she said.

Isaacs said one major initiative she believed will increase engagement with students is a calling center.

As an example, she said it makes a difference when students – after completing an application – are contacted by the college by phone to answer additional questions or offer information.

“This calling center – I’m excited about it – will really provide an opportunity for us to continue to engage students,” Isaacs said.

Police: Wilmington woman stole more than $100K from dealership SHAW MEDIA WILMINGTON – A Wilmington woman was arrested by police on a charge of stealing more than $100,000 from a car dealership.

Misty L. Hook, 40, a former employee of D’Orazio Ford, was arrested July 22 after two warrants were issued for her arrest on charges of felony theft over $100,000, Misty according to a Wilming- L. Hook ton police news release.

Wilmington police conducted a twoyear investigation into Hook’s activities at D’Orazio Ford after she resigned August 2014 and a new general manager for the dealership came on board.

Police stated the new manager noticed several discrepancies in the dealership’s financial documents and reported them to the police. Wilmington Police Officer Matt Kiebles investigated.

“Officer Kiebles was able to determine that during her employment, Hook was responsible for the cash that was handled through the dealership and had been very careful not to let anyone else get involved in that process,” the news release stated.

Kiebles’ investigation was long, painstaking and relied on numerous interviews and forensic audits, according to police. Outside of dealership records, discrepancies were also found in Hook’s personal bank accounts.

Hook’s bond was set at $300,000.

COAL CITY – It’s been more than a year since an EF3 tornado tore through Coal City, leaving a path of damage in its wake, but the village has not received any state or federal financial assistance.

The Coal City Finance Committee met July 27 to discuss its priorities for aid as well as the possibility of taking a home-rule proposal to referendum in the future.

The village has spent $6.3 million on tornado recovery costs, but it did not qualify for state or federal disaster assistance, according to a letter from Coal City to the state Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunities. However, that hasn’t stopped the village from seeking help to make up the difference by requesting outside money for other projects after it bonded debt for the recovery funds, village documents state, affecting its debt capacity.

“We’re just staying persistent,” committee Chairman Neal Nelson said July 28.

The board intends to send a letter in the next week to Coal City state and federal lawmakers asking for support.

“Although direct relief may not exist, please continue to provide assistance within programs that are useful for this community’s future,” a draft of the letter states.

The highest of those priorities is finding $900,000 in matching money for a multimillion-dollar reconstruction of Broadway Street slated for 2017 and 2018, according to a memo pre-

pared for Wednesday’s meeting.

“That would improve our downtown,” Nelson said.

The $900,000 is necessary to leverage $4.5 million in federal funds for the work, the memo states, and the village needs an additional $86,400 to obtain $432,000 designated specifically for resurfacing on the south end of Broadway Street from the Will County Governmental League Transportation Committee.

Combined, the two projects will improve Broadway Street from Division Street to Spring Road, Village Administrator Matthew Fritz said July 28.

Other priorities identified in the memo include executing additional road and sidewalk maintenance; obtaining funds committed by the state in 2014 to start a rail-fed industrial park; and getting money for facade improvements and the removal of a lift station to complete Oak Street behind Coal City High School, and improve drainage and extend the sewer in the area.

“Past practice doesn’t indicate that I should hold my breath,” Fritz said as he discussed the funding priorities.

Also at last week’s meeting, the committee considered whether to place a referendum on the ballot asking residents to vote on home-rule status for the village, Fritz said, although committee members opted to hold off on a November referendum.

Fritz said that being a home-rule municipality would allow Coal City to legislate possible new revenue sources, such as a gas tax.

“We’re looking at all options,” Nelson said.

team while he was in the Navy Reserves, and he brought that knowledge back to the Coal City area with him, where he has lived ever since.

He was released from active duty in 1964, and released from the reserve in 1966.

He sold appliances and tires at Western Tire before going to work for Illinois Bell, which he retired from in 1992.

Brown also served as a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician for 20 years in Coal City,

where he was the first certified lineman in the agency.

Kinzinger recognized Brown’s accomplishments as a first responder as well as his time in service when he presented him with the commendation.

MINOOKA – The Minooka Community High School District 111 school board and teachers last week reached a tentative contract agreement, which was announced July 28.

The teachers’ previous three-year contract expired June 30, and the teams began negotiations for a new contract last spring. Superintendent Kenneth Lee, who began his position July 1, said he believes the teams worked well together to reach the agreement. The agreement was reached July 26.

“I was only involved in two of the negotiation sessions, and both of those went very well,” Lee said on July 28. “Both sides worked together very amicably, and both of them seemed vested in a common interest, and that was to get some sort of an agreement that was fair to all and to our taxpayers.”

Lee said the tentative contract agreement was a verbal one that will be put in writing and presented to the Minooka Education Association for a vote. The school board is scheduled to vote on the contract at its Aug. 18 meeting.

If approved, the contract will affect

the district’s approximately 150 certified teachers. Lee said the contract is a fair one for the teachers and the taxpayers, and that he was not able to discuss any details until it is approved by both bodies.

“I can tell you that everybody – all stakeholders, our board members, certified staff members, fellow administrators, support staff members, everybody ... all want to partner to do what’s best for our students.”

MEA President Dennis Grosskopf said in a news release issued by the district that negotiations went well.

“The atmosphere was positive and will pave the way for even better discussions in the future,” he said in the news release. “We feel that not only is the economy turning around, but the school is making a correct turn to a brighter future for our students and our community.”

School Board President Mike Brozovich said it was exciting to have reached the agreement quickly.

“They are a great group of people to work with, and I am very pleased with the progress we’ve made,” he said in the news release. “It was a very positive experience with the best interests of both sides being considered throughout the entire process.”

State Bank Group acquires Harvard Savings Bank

IMPROVE YOUR ODDS IN 2016!

Morris Building & Loan part of the acquisition

The Nations #1 Real Estate Franchise!

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Customers at Morris Building & Loan in Morris may notice some minor changes, but overall their banking will be business as usual, The State Bank Group said.

The State Bank Group has acquired Harvard Savings bank.

As of Aug. 1, The State Bank Group has completed its acquisition of Harvard Savings Bank, which is the parent company of Morris Building & Loan, under a purchase and assumption agreement.

The State Bank Group’s parent company, Wonder Bancorp Inc., has acquired certain assets and liability of Harvard Savings Bank in the acquisition that started over a year ago.

“We’ve worked very hard to make

sure changes to the customer are very minimal,” Dena Innes, of The State Bank Group, said Monday.

For now, the name and personnel at the Morris branch will remain unchanged, as will be the case at the other Harvard Savings Bank locations in McHenry County.

Innes said that there may be some signage changes that customers notice.

The acquisition of Harvard Savings Bank has increased The State Bank Group’s number of banking locations from six to nine. This increase strengthens The State Bank Group’s presence in McHenry County and expands it to Grundy County.

“We look forward to providing our newest customers the local friendly service they have come to know and trust,” Stephen Mitchell said in a news release. Mitchell is president of The State Bank Group.

As of June 30, the assets of The State Bank Group total about $171 million and those of Harvard Savings Bank total about $141 million.

SUBMITTED REPORT SPRINGFIELD – Secretary of State Jesse White announced Monday that his office has reinstated the mailing of vehicle registration reminder notices to Illinois drivers.

To offset the cost of the mailings, White is drafting legislation allowing his office to offer advertising space on the mailings. In addition, White is urging the public to sign up for email notices to further reduce mailing costs.

The Secretary of State’s office discontinued mailing reminders in October 2015 because of the lack of

funding as a direct result of the state budget impasse.

The stop-gap budget recently passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the governor allows White’s office to reinstate the notices.

“The notices are an essential tool for the public to be sure their vehicles are in good standing and avoid paying late fees and fines resulting from tickets issued by law enforcement,” White said in a news release. “The driving public paid the price for the budget impasse, and it proved to be an unfair burden. With the funds from the stop-gap budget,

the notices will resume. In addition, we are reducing the number of mailings and seeking alternative funding sources for the postage costs.

“Although we are now able to reinstate mailing the vehicle registration reminder notices, I continue to strongly urge motorists to sign up for email reminders. Saving taxpayer dollars is always a priority of our administration.”

White noted that more than 2.3 million people have registered for the email notification, 800,000 of whom signed up since October 2015.

Vehicle owners can sign up for email notifications by visiting the

Secretary of State website, www.cyberdriveillinois.com.

To register for the program, vehicle owners will need their assigned registration ID and PIN, which can be found on their current vehicle registration card. If that information is not available, they can call the Secretary of State public inquiry division at 800-252-8980 to obtain the Registration ID and PIN. The one-time registration process will allow vehicle owners to receive a series of three email notices for each vehicle each year that will highlight the vehicle’s upcoming expiration date.

Insane Inflatable 5K brings 11 courses to Joliet

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Bob Smith has run 5K races before, but nothing like the Insane Inflatable 5K at Chicagoland Speedway.

The grounds outside the Joliet speedway stadium were turned into an inflatable obstacle course that waves of people had to slide, dodge, climb and run around to get through. Hundreds of people turned out Saturday to enjoy the course.

Music was booming at the start and finish lines, and as a new wave of runners approached the start line – consisting of a wall they had to climb – they clapped hands with enthusiasm.

“I never did anything like this, so I thought it would be a nice challenge,” Smith said.

Smith, who ran with members of his church, Revolution Church in New Lenox, said the course was challenging, especially when he had to climb the obstacles several times.

It was definitely a fun experience, he said.

“It was nice to see young kids and older folks and everybody just kind of having a good time,” Smith said.

Nick Germano, Townsquare Active senior event director, said the Insane Inflatable 5K race is the largest-growing 5K race nationwide since it started in 2014.

The race is one many events Townsquare produces in the U.S. There were 18 races in 2014, 76 last year and 120 this year, he said. The race also will run this year in Canada in provinces such as British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan.

“It’s pretty exciting,” he said.

The course Saturday included 11 inflatable obstacles, each custom made, Germano said.

“We’re the industry leader in the inflatable department. We were the first ones to kind of come up with this concept. … No one else has inflatables like ours,” Germano said.

When participants come to the last obstacle, they have to dodge giant inflatable wrecking balls, go past small “tipsy towers” and climb up a wall with rope and end their journey with a slide.

Trevor Tabisz of Lockport was out at the course Saturday to participate.

“It’s definitely more of a friendly competition,” he said about the race. “So, I guess your obstacle is mostly just other

people.”

Tabisz said that it wasn’t difficult and the race had a friendly atmosphere, with people helping each other out.

Besides the obstacle course, several booths were set up at the race, including one for the American Cancer Society.

The health organization is a national charity partner of Insane Inflatable 5K for this year and the two work with each other in every city the race visits, Germa-

no said.

“A portion of our proceeds goes to benefit their local charity in the city that we’re in,” he said.

Upcoming races in Illinois will be Saturday in Springfield, Aug. 27 in Rockford and Sept. 24 in Bloomington. Maria Bylina of Oak Forest said that she came because she wanted to participate and looked forward most to the slides.

“It’s fun,” she said.

OPINIONS GOP betting Madigan’s unpopularity helps them “Do you think he knows what he’s doing?” asked a top Republican last week about House Speaker Michael Madigan’s high-profile role at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Madigan heaped public praise last week on at least two potential Democratic gubernatorial candidates, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and Chris Kennedy.

And he mentioned U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth by name as his state’s next U.S. senator during the July 26 presidential nomination roll call, which was broadcast throughout the country.

That may all seem like the usual national convention duties for a state Democratic Party chairman like Madigan, and it is. But Madigan’s poll numbers are so darned awful that the Republicans believe anyone he publicly “touches” is tainted. A recent Republican-sponsored poll found Madigan’s favorability rating was just 13 percent.

“He should keep doing what he’s doing,” cracked one Republican campaign type, who said he was carefully making notes of Madigan’s public utterances.

As is often the case, the two political parties exist in parallel universes. Yes, the Democrats say, Madigan polls poorly. But they don’t believe that voters will make up their minds about individual races based on that one “issue” alone. Some are even saying they’re pleased that the Republicans are “wasting” their money on a strategy that the Democrats believe won’t work.

Indeed, the Republicans spent tons of money during several election cycles trying to tie the fabulously unpopular and currently incarcerated Rod Blagojevich to Democrats, and it only worked once, against Rep. Jay Hoffman in a newly drawn district with lots of unfamiliar voters.

Even so, if there was another high-profile Illinois Democrat out there whose favorability rating was hovering around 13 percent, you can be certain that Madigan and his people would mandate that their candidates and incumbents stay as far away from that person as humanly possible. Heck, the person’s rating wouldn’t even need to be that low. How many Downstate Illinois Democrats openly campaigned with Pat Quinn two years ago when he lost every county but one to Rauner?

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller The simple fact is that the GOP is placing a multimillion-dollar bet this year on a single person’s smashing unpopularity. Yes, the Republicans have tried and failed to do this same thing for literally decades.

The Democrats will try to tie Republicans to a governor with a dismal 33 percent job approval rating who, they’ll say, wants to slash vital services and inflict harm on everyday working people.

In a preview of this, Rep. John Bradley’s latest TV ad claims the Democrat “stood up to Bruce Rauner’s massive cuts to our schools,” and points out that Rauner is “bankrolling” his opponent’s campaign and claims his GOP opponent “is worse than Rauner.” Bradley, D-Marion, sits at the very top of the Republicans’ target list.

The House Democrats have often launched their campaigns in early to mid-August, well before the Republicans could afford to fight back. This time, though, the Republicans are flush with Rauner’s money and have dominated the playing field for weeks.

Speaker Madigan reportedly told attendees at an Illinois Federation of Teachers political conference in early July that the governor’s campaign operation had spent more than $1 million on House races in just two weeks.

And they’re not just spending money on negative attacks. A recent mailer for Rep. Terri Bryant, R-Murphysboro, touts her vote for the stopgap budget “without a tax increase.” The mailer also claims Bryant is fighting “against the Chicago political machine.” The Republicans have already sent innumerable mailers like that to voters everywhere before the Democrats have even gotten out of the gate.

Not mentioned, of course, is that the stopgap budget Bryant voted for had an $8 billion deficit and will create a $10 billion state payment backlog by December. Details, details.

Morris YMCA surrounded by passion

Once every three years, Y-USA hosts a national conference known as General Assembly. Y’s from across the country recently gathered in Kansas City, Missouri, for the 2016 event, with more than 4,000 people attending.

Several staff members and volunteers from the Morris Y had the honor of being among those attendees. The purpose of this conference is to engage, ignite and inspire Y staff and volunteers and to motivate them to bring their best effort to strengthen their communities each and every day.

Here at the Morris Community YMCA, we have been surrounded by this type of passion for our work over the summer with our caring and dedicated camp staff. Between our summer day camp programs in Morris and Coal City, and our summer sports camps, more than 300 children from across Grundy County have been served in programs at the Y this summer. Whether it is learning a new skill in a sport that they have never tried before, conquering the weekly swim test to swim the length of the pool,

traveling to an amazing field trip, or making a new friend, the experiences these kids have had this summer at the Y will surely provide memories to last a lifetime. For some, this experience was made possible through the generosity of community members that support the Y’s Annual Giving Campaign.

In fact, one in three children in our camp programs right here in Grundy County received scholarship assistance this summer. On behalf of these families, I would like to thank you for your support and the role you played in helping to ensure that these kids and all kids in Grundy County have the opportunity to experience summer camp at the Y. As we begin to look ahead to fall, we are excited to be introducing

many new and returning programs to the community. One of our longest-standing programs, our beforeand after-school Kidz Zone program, will be returning this fall at White Oak and Saratoga elementary schools.

Registration is underway, and like all programs at the Y, scholarships are available to those that need financial assistance.

We’re also excited to be introducing a new event that will be open to the community later this summer.

On Aug. 27, the Morris Community YMCA will be hosting its inaugural Fall Kick-Off Festival. This event, which is generously sponsored by D’Arcy Chevy-Buick-Cadillac, will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and will feature a bags tournament open to anyone 13 and older. Teams can register by contacting the Morris Community YMCA at 815-513-8080 or by visiting www.jolietymca.org. Each member of the first-place team will receive a cash prize and a 40-inch television just in time for the fall football season. Our Fall Kick-Off Festival will

also feature games and activities for children as well as a concession stand featuring Grundy County’s very own Pam’s Academy of Dance and their famous corn dogs.

In addition to our programs and events, we are proud to serve this community every day with top-quality health and wellness classes and services. We were especially honored to recently receive the recognition as Grundy County’s “Best Health & Fitness Club” as voted by readers of the Morris Herald-News. Special thanks to everyone who voted for us! At the Y, we do exist to strengthen our community and we pledge to keep working towards that goal each and every day.

Mazon’s Little Library open for service

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MAZON – In a little red shed in front of the Mazon American Legion sits romance, history and mystery.

The lending library housed there is the brainchild of Jan Clavey and Bev Hacker, who, two years ago, got the idea from a magazine to start a small library in downtown Mazon, which isn’t served by a library district.

“Bev and I had this idea two years ago,” Clavey said. “We just couldn’t get it going.”

She started with a little house she planned to use that she thought would be perfect to store donated books for others to borrow at their own leisure, but the house just didn’t cut it.

So Clavey brainstormed and her husband, Ron Clavey, and her son-inlaw, Harold Webster, went to work creating the small shed that would become the library.

“Ron said, ‘I’ll build it,’ and I told him I had a vision,” she said.

Little did she know her vision would take so long to create.

Between Ron’s time in the fields and his time serving at the American

up in the Clavey living room and decisions had to be made about what to stock the shelves with.

“We have all kinds of books, from mysteries to love stories,” Jan said.

“After we started asking for donations of books, we had more than 1,000 books in our living room.”

The top shelf houses biographies on Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Carter and Oprah Winfrey.

On the bottom shelf, for easy access to the shorter readers, sits a host of children’s books from first readers to teenage chapter books, including the Hardy Boys mysteries.

The shed is named “Mazon’s Little Library” and it is open to residents from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day.

A note on the door encourages people to take a book, read it and pass it on.

Widow in Haiti to have new home thanks to fundraiser Know more

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

It’s not too late to help. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to Minooka Bible Church, 412 N. Wabena Ave., Minooka, IL, 60447. Be sure to include this memo on the check: “Spy Kidz Create a Haiti Home.”

To view a video showing the construction of an earth block home, visit http://shawurl.com/2qii For information on Don Shire Ministries, visit www.donshireministries.org.

Attendees at Minooka Bible Church’s Spy Kidz day camp raised nearly $7,000 to build earth block homes in Haiti for widows. Here, four campers keep track of donations using Legos.

The project was run in conjunction with Don Shire Ministries.

“The kids would bring change in with them in the morning and drop it into buckets,” McFadden said.

A ministry team from Minooka Bible Church will be in Haiti building that house from Dec. 28 to Jan. 6, McFadden said. The building material

is soil, which is pressed to form solid blocks, McFadden added. The kids tracked their fundraising progress by adding Lego bricks to a Lego house.

As the week drew to an end, the kids were about $700 shy of their goal. That’s when the church reached out on Facebook for additional donations, McFadden said.

“People responded in a great way to help the kids,” McFadden said.

Spy Kidz day camp, McFadden said, involves the entire church on some level. This year, the camp itself attracted 600 kindergarten through fifth-grade students from the church as well as the Minooka community, McFadden added.

About 100 high school students from the church served as camp counselors. Another 100 junior high school students assisted with camp activities and did other service projects in the community, McFadden said. About 150 adults volunteered their time, too.

Alonzo takes over as United Methodist Preschool director SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – The United Methodist Preschool is ready for another year of learning, and it will be under new leadership this fall.

Sharon Alonzo is the new director for the school. She has been an early childhood educator for the last 20 years. She has served at the preschool in a teaching capacity in the past, and her son attended the school.

“I am excited to now be in this role, as I am very familiar with this program, having served both as a parent and on staff in this safe and loving

learning environment,” Alonzo said in a news release.

The United Methodist Preschool provides children with an opportunity to learn through play in a Christian atmosphere.

The values of sharing and caring for one’s self, others and the world are nurtured. The preschool is located on the main floor of the First United Methodist Church, 118 W. Jackson St., Morris. Limited space is available, and classes will begin for the school year in late August.

Call Alonzo at 815-942-0809 with questions.

MINOOKA – One widow in Haiti will have a solid brick home before the year is out, thanks to 600 globally conscious kids form the Minooka area.

These kids raised enough money to also partially pay for the construction of a second house for a second widow. The fundraiser was held as part of Spy Kidz day camp at Minooka Bible Church, which was June 20 to 24.

In addition to offering a variety of fun activities, Julie McFadden, wife of the church’s pastor, Arol McFadden, said the camp also involves the kids in service projects. Examples of projects in the camp’s 16-year history include making blankets for the Royal Family Kids Camp, which serves foster children, and creating birthday cards for foster children.

“Because our church goes to Haiti every year, we thought, ‘Why not get the kids involved in helping in a global way?’ ” Julie McFadden said.

Last year, campers raised money for children in Haiti. This year campers were challenged to donate $3 each with a goal of raising $4,000, McFadden said. Almost $7,000 was raised.

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

The first Walk for Love, sponsored by the Love Outreach Training and Development Center, took to the streets of Morris on Saturday morning to raise awareness of sex trafficking. Wilmington resident Connie Hubbard (left) and First United Methodist Church of Morris Associate Pastor Laura Wilson-Underwood led the walk with the Walk for Love sign.

Taking a stand against human trafficking

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – At the age of 17, Esther Holiday ran away from her abusive home life in Chicago and with her boyfriend and entered the gang life, where she was raped and abused.

Her boyfriend claimed to love her and the two fled, but he trafficked her for the next year, until she escaped.

“He was my hero for stopping the gang members, so he got my confidence and then pimped me out,” Holiday said.

Holiday, now a pastor at House of Glory for all Nations Church in Morris, has taken that pain and knowledge to offer help and salvation to those who are victims of sex trafficking.

“I have been there and I know the

hopelessness. I tried to kill myself twice, and by the grace of God it didn’t work.

I want to be out there for the girls and want a place for them to show people do care,” Holiday said.

More than 50 people of all faiths took to Division Street on Saturday morning for a “Walk for Love.” The event began with a dance number by liturgical dance group Worship in Motion out of Country Club Hills, and then the group walked from Waverly Street to the Grundy County Courthouse on Washington Street with Morris police and fire district escorts to make a stand for victims of sex trafficking.

“More and more kids get sucked into trafficking, and they need a voice. I think a lot of it starts with internet stuff where kids hook up for a party or this and

that and girls get caught up with a bad boyfriend and it starts.” walker Janice Burns of Joliet said. “There is a whole other dark world out there.”

Holiday founded the Love Outreach Training and Development Center to educate Morris and surrounding communities about sex trafficking and has worked with a local real estate agent to buy a safe home for women who have been rescued from a trafficking situation.

“We already have a house targeted in the Morris area and now we need to raise the funds to purchase the house. We have a six-month goal to get the house and then we will need a trained staff,” Holiday said.

Holiday said most people think small towns are immune to this “big city”

problem. But Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland spoke at the event in agreement with Holiday’s mission.

“I get asked the question, ‘Does human trafficking exist in Morris?’ Thinking it doesn’t allows criminal activity to fester. Anywhere you see stripper poles or massage parlors, those women could be trafficked.” Helland said.

Holiday said truck stops, massage parlors, bars, and even schools can be places to target girls and women to be trafficked.

She said that besides the goal to raise money for the safe home, Holiday wants to get into the school system to teach children how to protect themselves and recognize potential signs of trafficking.For information, call Holiday at 815-651-8564 or email loveoutreachtc@yahoo.com.

Channahon celebrates National Night Out

“And you can get a lot of stuff here.”

Garcia said he knows that police in areas of the country have had a difficult time this year, but he knows they are here for the good of the community.

“I know they’ve had their ups and downs,” he said, “but they make sure it’s safe for everyone.”

Eleven-year-old Channahon resident Blayse Messino said she and her family have always had good relationships with police, and they were chatting with one officer as Messino showed off her “Shake, Rattle and Run” junior dragster painted Chevy hugger orange. She and her father, Chris, were there for the car show.

“I started driving when I was 7,” Messino said. “My dad had two race cars and saw the frame of this one hanging up, and he said we have to give it a try.”

Messino said she loves the speed of driving. Her second race car, this dragster goes 75 mph.

“It gets my heart racing,” she said.

The event is held each year by the Channahon Police Department, organized by Officer John Blough.

“People need to know it’s not us against them,” Blough said. “I don’t

want to be Officer Blough. I want to be John. I want them to know me by name and be able to shake hands with everybody and see how their day’s going. ...

We’re all standing for one goal. We don’t want crime. We don’t want drugs. We want to live a great, peaceful life.”

“I think the biggest reason why we do it is because it gives the police offers and the community an opportunity to get to know each other better,” Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold said, “and it lets the community know what we do on a day-to-day basis.”

Wold said it also gives residents and business owners an informal chance to let officers know what might be going on in their neighborhoods or what they see happening in other parts of the community. Wold said the department works to try to avoid tragic events such as the ones happening lately between officers and the public in other parts of the nation.

“We send our officers to de-escalation training,” he said, “and also, there’s a new class that’s available to us that deals with racial diversity.”

CHANNAHON – In its sixth year, Channahon’s National Night Out celebration of the partnership between police and community couldn’t have come at a better time.

With divisive issues arising nationally involving the men and women in blue and minority communities, an evening of rapport between police and residents made a perfect summer event.

The event was held July 27 at the police station, spilling over into the Channahon Park District, which participated jointly with the Three Rivers Library District to show the family movie “Inside Out” in the park adjacent to the station.

The police department offered tours of the station; a bouncy house and slide; the local band, Electric Avenue; a car show; free hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, pizza and drinks; and a lot more.

The weather was beautiful for a midsummer day, and many parents brought their children to the event.

“They loved just meeting the officers,” Channahon resident Ericka Salazar said of the children she brought, “and they’re not scared of them. They understand that they’re friends there to help them.”

The family took a tour of the police station, with the children having the most fun checking out the jail cells.

Officers John Jackubowski and Mike Klett led the tour, taking the visitors through the interview rooms with the one-way mirrors (of which 12-year-old Max Salazar said he had seen similar mirrors on television), the department’s records storage room, and the locker and training rooms, among other areas.

Jackubowski noted that all of the department’s squad cars have in-car cameras that automatically download their videos each time the vehicles are driven in. The department, one visitor noticed, is also a shelter area for severe storms.

Two area high school students strolled around the event, checking things out and tasting some of the food offered.

“I was here last year, and it was a lot of fun,” Maddi Ryan said.

“I like that you can hang out with

Three Rivers Festival to salute the military

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – In a salute to the military, this year’s Three Rivers Festival in Channahon has invited any veteran or active-duty military personnel to be a parade grand marshal.

“Our theme this year is ‘A Salute to America,’ and we currently have about 30 to 50 grand marshals,” Three Rivers Festi-

val Committee member Mike Rittoff said. “For those who can’t walk, Morris Hospital has donated their patient transportation buses to carry them in the parade.”

Rittoff said the community is encouraged to show their patriotism by waving flags as the grand marshals pass.

Flags will be handed out along the parade route beforehand to achieve the feeling the

committee is going for. After the parade, the grand marshals will be treated to lunch at the festival grounds, and the Joliet American Legion Band will perform. The festival will start Wednesday and run through Aug.14, the day of the parade.

The event opens with Special Needs Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wednesday, by invitation only.

The festival sets aside the fourhour window for families to vis-

it and enjoy the carnival without the sensory issues caused by crowds, music and lights. The food midway opens at 5 p.m.

Entertainment this year includes Pandora Rocks on Wednesday night, Rockstar Rodeo the night of Aug. 11, ARRA the night of Aug. 12 and the Hairbangers Ball the night of Aug. 13. For information, visit www.channahonpark.org/trindex.php.

Rezin attends energy conference in Washington SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – A major proponent of energy jobs and a state leader on the issue, state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, represented Illinois at the Legislative Energy Horizon Institute, an energy program for new or emerging energy policy leaders July 23 to July 26 in Richland, Washington.

Rezin represents the energy and chemical corridor of America, which employs thousands. Her 38th Senate District has three nuclear

plants along with numerous coal and gas plants, refineries, and wind farms.

Rezin is also the Republican spokeswoman for the Energy Committee at the Illinois Statehouse.

“We have dozens of energy and chemical producers in our backyard, providing jobs for thousands, giving local economies and the state’s economy a huge boost, and supplying millions of people with power at a low cost,” Rezin said in a news release. “I don’t know of any other dis-

trict in the country that has as many power producers, or energy jobs. That’s something we should be proud of as the 38th Senate District and Illinois are looked to as leaders in the energy industry from people across the country.”

Through a partnership with the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Pacific Northwest Economic Region, the University of Idaho and the U.S. Department of Energy, LEHI offered legislators an opportunity to increase their ability to address

energy challenges in their states.

“It was an honor to attend this energy conference with some of the brightest minds in the energy sector today,” Rezin said. “I will certainly take what I learned from this experience to the Capitol in Springfield. Our energy producers can play a vital role in Illinois’ economic recovery and create many good-paying jobs. Illinois policy makers need to understand why this industry is so important and deserves close attention.”

Seneca FFA Section VII Vo-Ag Fair winners announced SUBMITTED REPORT SENECA – Seneca FFA members recently displayed their livestock projects and competed against other schools at the Section VII Vo-Ag Fair.

Although the number of exhibitors declined from previous years due to state budget concerns and recent storms, the quality of livestock did not.

Three of the five exhibitors from Seneca acquired championship awards.

Senior Madi Payne won Grand Champion Barrow and sophomore Lane Weber was awarded the Grand Champion Gilt trophy.

The goat show was dominated by junior Torie Knibbs as she received Grand Champion Dairy Goat and Grand Champion Goat Showmanship.

“The Seneca FFA would like to thank all participants, volunteers, and sponsors for their helping make this year’s fair a huge success,” Knibbs said in a news release.

BOYS SOCCER

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, August 4, 2016

MORRIS – In the last four or five years, the Morris boys soccer program has quietly become one of the most consistently successful programs at the school.

However, even with its success, there are a few goals its hasn’t been able to achieve.

Although it won four straight regional championships before not winning one last season, for example, the Redskins still have yet to win a conference championship or win a sectional game.

This season, coach David Valdivia hopes his group can be the one that achieves those goals.

“The first goal for this season is to win the conference championship,” Valdivia said. “We’ve never done that.

We know it’s going to be hard, because the Northern Illinois Big 12 is a very good conference when it comes to soccer.

“We had a very young, very small team last year. This year, it looks like some guys have hit a growth spurt and gotten faster and stronger as well as smarter on the field. We think we have a pretty good chance at competing for a conference title. Then we want to get another regional title to start that streak again and win a game at the sectional. That’s another thing we have never done is win a game once we have gotten to the sectional.”

The Redskins will count on a strong defense to start out with, as those positions are already pretty well known.

The defense will consist of Noah Poston, Kaleb Hefford, Kaylar Wills, Colin Webber and Alex Randall, all of whom are juniors, as well as junior Mac Van Oudt in goal.

“Our defense is pretty solid,” Valdivia said. “And our goalie, Mac Van Oudt, won the Golden Glove trophy at a summer tournament at Eastern Illinois earlier this summer. He only gave up two goals in the 10 games we played there.”

Co-captain Connor Shaw, who will be one of the offensive anchors of the team, was named MVP at the EIU tournament, where Morris finished second to Mattoon out of eight teams.

“We did a good job at that tournament,” Valdivia said. “Our captains – Shaw and [senior] Matt Samolis – have really taken their job to heart and know what it takes to get to that next level. They aren’t afraid to get on the players if they aren’t working as hard

They remember being kind of pushed around a little bit last year because they were young and small, and they didn’t like it and they don’t want it to happen again this year.”

Early last week, the Redskins took on Coal City in a practice game and defeated the Coalers by a 6-0 score.

Then they had a 5-0 lead on the Morris alumni at halftime before Valdivia decided to switch things up and have the offensive players play defense and the defensive players switch to offense.

“It was nice in the alumni game to remind the guys to just go out and have fun,” Valdivia said. “It’s great as a coach to know that they take things as seriously as they do, but sometimes I have to remind them that it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun.

“But I will take a group like this where I have to tell them to not be so serious rather than have one that doesn’t take things seriously. These guys really want to compete when they get on the field, and they want to go out and prove they can achieve the goals we have set.”

BOYS SOCCER

Morris ends slump with win vs. alumni

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In what has become an annual tradition, the Morris boys varsity soccer team squared off Friday against some former Morris players in an alumni vs. varsity game.

Unlike most of the prior years, though, it was the current group of high school players that dominated the action and earned a 6-2 victory.

In what was a physical game played in wet conditions, Morris coach David Valdivia feels like it was a good test for his team, which was full of young players last year who were at times outmatched when the opposition wanted to play a physical style.

“We have had the alumni game for six years, and this was only the second time that the varsity has won,” Valdivia said. “This group of varsity kids is really hungry and wants to win every time they step on the field.

“This game against the alumni will help prepare them for when we play against conference teams, because the teams in our conference play a very physical style. That hurt us last year because we were very young and very

Co-captain Connor Shaw, a junior, scored a pair of goals in the first half for the varsity Redskins as they took a 5-0 lead before Valdivia switched things up

and had the normal offensive players play defense and the regular defenders play on offense.

“I told the guys to just go out there and have fun,” Valdivia said. “That’s what this game is all about, but this group of varsity guys is so competitive they want to win every time they are on

the field. They have been playing together for a long time and they like to get out there and beat whoever is against them.

“We were clearly dominating the game, so I reminded them that it’s supposed to be fun and I put them in positions that they normally don’t play so they could all have fun doing something different than they normally do.”

The Redskins varsity team, which also got goals from Collin Severson and Connor McGlynn, were able to hold onto the lead and secure the win after the alumni had won the previous four meetings.

Taking the field for the alumni were Rigo Ochoa, Nate Cote, Enrique Luna, Justin Cogher, Fernando Del Toro, Kyle Monk, Evan Gagnon, Chava Villanueva, Brian Vasquez and Jose Salinas. Curt Wiekert was the referee and he was the oldest alumnus to show up, having been a member of the Class of 2002.

“It’s nice that we have such a large number of alumni that want to come back and help out,” Valdivia said. “They still want the program to keep improving even though they have graduated.

That’s just great to see and shows the pride they have in being a part of the program.”

Paul Lasike gives Bears rugby tenacity at fullback

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com BOURBONNAIS – The player trying to bring the fullback position back to Chicago didn’t know anything about football until five years ago. To him, football was referred to as “gridiron.”

Paul Lasike grew up in New Zealand with aspirations of being a professional rugby player. Then, as he explains, his path changed, and now he’s in line to be the Bears’ fullback in 2016.

“We called it gridiron in New Zealand.

I came over (to BYU) and I didn’t even go to a football game my first year while playing rugby,” he said. “It wasn’t interesting until I got to Alabama.”

Lasike discovered football after his freshman year during a Mormon mission to Alabama, where football obviously is king. He returned to BYU and joined the football team, where he played three seasons for the Cougars. He rushed for seven touchdowns and caught two other scores as a senior. As an undrafted rookie, Lasike spent last preseason with the Cardinals before joining the Bears’ practice squad for the 2015 campaign. He hasn’t played in a game yet, but he did bring his parents to Chicago from New Zealand to experience a game.

“They’re really proud of me,” he said.

“They have no idea what’s going on. They

Bears fullback Paul Lasike adjusts his helmet during the first rookie minicamp session May 13 in Lake Forest. went to the game for the experience. They didn’t care about the game. They didn’t know what was going on.”

In rugby, Lasike played the inside center position, the player with the No. 12 jersey.

“You’re in the back line. It’s similar to what a fullback and running back does,” he explained. “You’ve got to be agile with

the ball in hand.”

Now, Lasike wears No. 47. He’s about 30 to 40 pounds heavier than he was as a rugby player – which is why, he explained, it’d be hard for him to transition back to playing like Patriots safety Nate Ebner, who is a member of the USA rugby sevens team for the Olympics.

While Ebner is getting ready for Rio,

Lasike is focused on his new path. New Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains told Lasike to expect more “21 personnel” this season – two backs, one tight end. When the Bears’ starters have been in “21” during camp, Lasike has been in the backfield.

Lasike admitted he hasn’t always loved football, but it’s grown on him.

There’s an irony to Lasike playing a position that many teams have phased out. As long as Lasike has known about football, fullbacks have been on the outs.

“Twenty out of the 32 teams actually use a fullback,” he said. “I didn’t know (about the history of fullbacks), but I know that you’ve just got to go out there and create push and a hole for the tailback. Seems like an easy enough job for me.”

Also an easy enough job for his relatives from New Zealand and Australia to understand when they watch Lasike play “gridiron.”

The 26-year-old has a wife and two kids who are in Sacramento, California, as Lasike makes his way through camp, where he works on fullback drills with undrafted rookie Joe Sommers. For someone without a football background or any knowledge of the game before a few years ago, Lasike certainly has gained the appreciation of what it means to be in the huddle with the starters.

Boat traffic can be a Going on boon for lake fishing n o i ? t a c

Summer is winding down. That type of stress forces us to get those last couple of big weekend celebrations in before it’s too late.

If you like to hang at the lake, that means the waterways will be extra crowded.

I witnessed such an event on my home lake this last weekend. Hordes of personal watercraft rifled across the surface.

Ski boats pulling tubers churned up huge waves and created a bathtub effect along the shorelines.

Now mix in a dozen or so pontoons cruising, and this normally peaceful strip mine lake looked more like Interstate 294 in the middle of rush hour.

In years past, I would never even consider trying to fish in that sort of mess. But that was before I understood how beneficial constant boat traffic can be to turning on a prolific bite.

Man-made lakes are devoid of natural current. The steady flow of water that makes rivers and streams an angler’s dream is nonexistent.

That means we need to rely on others forms of artificial current to help position fish and get the bite going.

The first type of artificial current savvy anglers look for is formed by the wind.

A good steady breeze is nice for staying cool, but it also gets the food chain going. An overbearing gale force wind is even better.

Lots of fishermen do their best to avoid heavy wind. It makes casting difficult, boat positioning can be a nightmare, and struggling to hold position eats away the trolling motor batteries.

Yet the windiest location is often the best location.

The constant lapping of waves along the shoreline churn up microorganisms. These lifeforms are devoured by minnows and other small bait fish.

The bigger fish get excited and eat them, and then the trophy predators we are after get in the mix. Big waves can also dislodge crawdads from their rocky hideouts.

If you are lucky enough to find a windblown, rocky, shoreline then you may just have the best day of fishing all year.

There is only one problem. The wind doesn’t always blow.

That is where the second form of artificial current comes in. Wakes

created by heavy boat traffic can have the same effect as wind, if not better.

The wind will generally blow from one direction during a given outing.

Boat wakes are not as predictable. These waves come from all directions and can slosh around to create quite the disturbance. The unpredictable patterns means the feeding frenzy will cover more parts of the lake.

In other words, opposite shorelines may be just as good.

Sunday afternoon was a barrage of heavy boat traffic.

My wife and I were idling around the lake admiring the view, but I had one eye on the churned-up shore.

A nice, frothy, mud line was forming with clearer water holding a few feet out. My instincts told me to hurry up the afternoon cruise and get a line in the water.

The first spot I pulled up to was getting hammered with boat wakes.

The dock and pontoon attached to it were bobbing and creaking.

The weeds around these targets were swaying from one side to another.

In the next 10 minutes, we boated eight nice fish. They all hit with a vengeance.

Was it difficult to fish in the midst of such chaos? You bet.

Did I have to be careful to stay out the path of some giant ski boats?

Yes I did.

Did we experience a tremendous bite? Yep. It takes some mental preparation to get in the middle of the boat traffic as opposed to finding a quiet, little bay away from it.

I had a hard time in the past convincing myself it was worth the effort, but it is.

The next couple of summer weekends should be prime for fishing artificial current.

Take advantage of it and experience some of your best fishing all year.

Stuffed eggs with tuna, topped with dill, and guacamole, topped with tomatoes, provide a low-carb, high-protein lunch box meal.

Photo provided

Tuna or Salmon Stuffed Eggs rescue lunch box MORE CONTENT NOW If it’s already time to start gearing up for school – and if you’re open to rethinking the typical lunch box fare, consider losing the sandwich and embracing the stuffed egg.

There’s nothing more elemental and satisfying than good bread, but the standard loaf is loaded with empty calories.

Eggs, by contrast, are low-carb, high-protein and gluten-free. And just about anything you can slide between two slices of bread can also be stuffed into a hard-cooked egg.

Still, I’m not talking about the typical version, loaded with mayo and a sprinkling of paprika. I mean eggs filled with any number of more substantial, and tastier, ingredients – from tuna or avocado to chicken or roast beef.

First, how to boil an egg. As a student of Julia Child, I spent decades “boiling” eggs the way she taught us, which was, in fact, not to boil them. She started by putting the eggs in a pot of cold water, then brought the water up to a boil. Next she turned off the heat, covered the pan and let the eggs sit until they were hard-cooked.

Finally, to stop them from cooking, she pulled the eggs out of the pot and chilled them briefly in a bowl of ice water. This method results in egg whites that are more tender than if they had been conventionally boiled.

Then a few years ago, I heard from a couple from Chicago who suggested steaming the eggs. This method turns out to be easier to time than the noboil method because you don’t have to wait for the water to heat up. But much more important is the end result: the whites are ridiculously tender.

Hard-Boiled Eggs

Start to finish: 40 minutes (5 minutes active) Servings: Makes 6 hard-boiled eggs 6 large eggs Fit a collapsible steamer inside a medium saucepan and fill the saucepan with about 1 inch of water or to just below the level of the steamer basket. No water should be touching the eggs. Put the lid on top of the pan and bring the water to a medium-high boil over medium-high heat.

Using a large, long-handled, slotted spoon, place the eggs in a single layer in the steamer, being careful not to burn your hand with the steam. Steam the eggs for 12 minutes.

Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice and water and let them cool completely. This will take 20 to 30 minutes.

When they are cool, crack them all over and peel under cold running water, starting at the wide end of the egg and making sure to get under the membrane (which makes it easier to peel the egg).

Tuna or Salmon Stuffed Eggs Servings: 12 stuffed egg halves

One 3.5 ounce can tuna or regular salmon, or smoked salmon, drained 6 large hard-boiled eggs 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons minced celery, plus celery leaves for garnish In a medium bowl mash the tuna with a fork until it is in small flakes. Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks.

Add the yolks to the tuna and mash the mixture well. Stir in the mayonnaise, lemon juice and celery; salt and pepper to taste. Mound a heaping spoonful of the yolk mixture into the cavity of the whites and garnish with the celery leaves.

Servings: 12 stuffed egg halves 1 medium ripe Hass avocado (about 3/4 cup) 6 large hard-boiled eggs 3 tablespoons minced scallions 2 to 3 teaspoons minced serrano chile (with the seeds and ribs) or to taste 1 tablespoon mayonnaise 2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice, or to taste Coarsely chopped cherry tomatoes, sprinkled with kosher salt for garnish In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until it is mostly smooth with a few lumps. Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks. Add the yolks to the avocado and mash the mixture until it is smooth. Stir in the scallions, chile, mayonnaise and lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste.

There’s a lot to these Games, and not all of it on the field of competition, since concerns about preparedness and health safety have been voiced. While this report is likely to factor those in, it also will survey the range of included sports and nations.

7 p.m. on _ WLS BattleBots The field of mechanical competitors is reduced even more in the new episode “Not So Sweet 16: The Round of 16 Part 1,” with — as the title indicates — the 16 entrants still in the contest battling, quite literally, to remain in it. Fon Davis, Jessica Chobot and guest judge Michael Stevens of YouTube fame (as “Vsauce”) pass judgment on the individual bouts ... though, in most cases, it’s likely to be apparent who wins.

ESPN’s Samantha Ponder is the host.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Embodied by Josh Brolin in a 2010 feature film, the character Jonah Hex is given life by Johnathon Schaech (“That Thing You Do!”) in “The Magnificent Eight.” The story lands the Legends in the Old West, where their run-in with outlaws means trouble for an entire town ... along the lines of the classic movie “The Magnificent Seven,” which this story clearly takes its title from.

Arthur Darvill and Brandon Routh star.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free It’s down to the last two contestants in the twohour season finale, “Overnight Success/Dreams Come True,” as each has a big stake in providing a Dream Home for their personal hero. Only one will get to do so, however, and hosts Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow will be on hand for that person’s triumphant moment — which is only appropriate, since they’ve also been on site to witness all the hurdles along the way.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM Life in Pieces Lamenting how fast Sophia (Giselle Eisenberg) is growing up, John (James Brolin) decides to get a pet in “Sexting Mail Lemonade Heartbreak,” but its reaction to Joan (Dianne Wiest) is a problem.

Colin Hanks also stars.

Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J, Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen also star.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank The Sharks have a notable guest among them: actor and investor Ashton Kutcher. Being a dad now, he may have heightened interest in a Florida father’s invention to help feed babies.

Also, two Los Angeles men offer their unique approach to transportation, and a Detroit student promotes vinegar for drinking. Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary occupy the chairs alongside Kutcher.

7 p.m. on ) WGN Masters of Illusion Former television “Superman” Dean Cain again introduces professional tricksters on this series, which covers virtually every variety of magic.

That’s indicated by the title of the new episode “Techno Magic, Quick Change and a Guillotine,” in which the featured acts include Greg Frewin, Barry and Stuart, Jason Bishop, Michael Grandinetti and Jonathan Pendragon. Another episode follows.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 If pirates and buried treasure seem like things of the past, they pose modern concerns for McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and his team in “Mai ho’oni i ka wai lana malie” (Hawaiian for “Do Not Disturb the Water That Is Tranquil”). A killer’s efforts to find the riches leads the police detectives to an ancient palace in Oahu — but absent is Kono (Grace Park), who faces peril along with her new husband Adam (Ian Anthony Dale).

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Blue Bloods Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) is taunted by a possible serial killer in “Absolute Power.” A candidate for New York’s mayoral seat (guest star Mary Stuart Masterson, “Benny & Joon”) believes Frank (Tom Selleck) is conducting a probe of her husband. Erin (Bridget Moynahan) considers pursuing a position as judge. Eddie (Vanessa Ray) has an unsettling reunion with her hospitalized, estranged father (guest star William Sadler, “Roswell”).

9 p.m. on + WTTW The Great British Baking Show “Chocolate” ... the title of this new episode should be enough for some viewers, but yes, one of the world’s favorite edibles is the chief ingredient in the confections created by those still in the competition. Making a chocolate tart is the first challenge, followed by one of the most difficult desserts to get just right: a chocolate souffle. Finally, the Showstopper round involves centerpieces built around — you guessed it — chocolate.

Best Bets 8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders Honeymooners — played by guest stars Autumn Reeser (“The O.C.”) and Gil McKinney (“Once Upon a Time”) — vanish in Belize, drawing the International Response Team there, in “Love Interrupted.” The more Garrett (Gary Sinise) and his colleagues learn, the more it appears the couple was targeted specifically. Yancey Arias and John Getz also guest star. Alana De La Garza, Tyler James Williams, Annie Funke and Daniel Henney also star.

8 p.m. on _ WLS 20/20: In an Instant “Tragedy in Tornado Alley” traces a May 2013 crisis faced by residents of Moore, Okla.

10 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free Anyone who watches a show about home construction or improvement knows that meeting building-code requirements is essential — and that’s what poses a problem for a contestant in “Boulevard of Skill vs. Will.” Unless the situation is corrected promptly, someone’s goal of creating and winning a dream house may evaporate quickly. Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow are the hosts.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Celebrity Family Feud The game is off the field for a number of pro football players here, as this episode pits a squad from AFC teams’ offense against NFC counterparts — and the same for the defense.

Among the athletes host Steve Harvey steers through the contests: Marcus Cannon of the New England Patriots; Malcolm Jenkins of the Philadelphia Eagles; Von Miller of the Denver Broncos; David Johnson of the Arizona Cardinals; and Joe Staley of the San Francisco 49ers.

7 p.m. on + WTTW Dancing on the Edge Julian’s (Tom Hughes) actions cause concern for several people, Masterson (John Goodman) certainly being among them, in “Episode 7.”

Lady Cremone (Jacqueline Bisset) also has reason to worry, prompted by the reward that Masterson has posted. Pamela (Joanna Vanderham) proves herself very useful to Stanley (Matthew Goode) and the band. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Janet Montgomery and Anthony Head also star.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Brooklyn Nine-Nine The mumps can be a big problem, as patients Jake and Captain Holt (Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher) can attest, in “9 Days.” They go into quarantine together, hoping their shared efforts still can break the case they’ve been working on.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Madam Secretary Veteran television journalist Jane Pauley becomes another personality to portray herself on this show in “On the Clock.” She brings her ”A” game, since she conducts what’s described as a “grueling” interview with Elizabeth (Tea Leoni) — who has other worries here, since a plane crash affects the peace talks she’s staging with the prime ministers of Israel and Pakistan. Henry (Tim Daly) tries to help find a terrorist. Keith Carradine also stars.

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 episode’s first match.

Then, host Michael Strahan presides as his “Good Morning America” comrade Robin Roberts rivals actorcomedian Mario Cantone (“Sex and the City”).

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

All good things must end, and so it is as “Inspector Lewis, Season 8” begins the series’ final stand. In the first of the episodes, “One for Sorrow,” Lewis (Kevin Whately) finds his abilities challenged by a new superior — but he’s determined to stay focused on his latest case, possibly linking an artist’s death to remains found in a wall. Hathaway (Laurence Fox) also struggles to keep his mind on business, since his estranged father is back in the picture.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy Having a problem-solving call transferred to technical support in India isn’t unusual these days ... but traveling there to find the person behind a voice you fell in love with is. Such is the mission of Brian (voice of Seth MacFarlane) in “Road to India,” and he brings Stewie (also voiced by MacFarlane) along. Peter (yes, MacFarlane’s voice again) steals the show at a bingo night.

8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth This series had two Phils for a while, but it’s back down to just one — the show’s original one, played by Will Forte — and it’s up to the other survivors to cope with the other one’s sudden absence in “Valhalla.” Melissa and Todd (January Jones, Mel Rodriguez) have something else to cope with ... her proposal to him.

James) find a way to elicit information from the alien insects’ victims. Zach Grenier, who worked with this show’s creator-producers on “The Good Wife,” also appears.

9 p.m. on _ WLS Match Game “Saturday Night Live’s” Leslie Jones is on the panel of celebrities who have to fill in the blanks in this episode.

9:30 p.m. on + WTTW The Tunnel Karl and Elise (Stephen Dillane, Clemence Poesy) aren’t at all happy about French Secret Service agents imposing on their turf in the new “Episode 8” — and no more pleased when French police find, then lose, the prime suspect in the Truth Terrorist case. Matters take an even more drastic turn when Elise suddenly vanishes, causing her allies to fear that the enemy has abducted her. Thierry Fremont, Angel Coulby and James Frain (“Gotham”) also star.

SERVICE BY PUBLICATION TO: ALLEGED BIOLOGICAL FATHER: CHRISTOPHER SHAWN FOUSHI LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: PRESENT WHEREABOUTS: UNKNOWN BIOLOGICAL FATHER LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: 1215 Price Street, Trailer 8E, Morris, Illinois 60450 PRESENT WHEREBOUTS: UNKNOWN A Petition for Termination of Parental Rights has been filed as to the minor child born to Jenna Marie Pearson, on September 29, 2011, filed by the Georgia Department of Human Services, acting through the Pickens County Department of Family and Children Services, on 14th day of July, 2016, said petition seeking to terminate all of your parental rights with respect to said child and all rights and obligations of the said child to you. You would not, after said order, be entitled to notice of proceedings for the adoption of the child by another person, nor have any right to object to the adoption or otherwise participate in the proceedings. A court hearing of your case has been scheduled for the 3rd day of October, 2016 at 9:00 a.m., at the Court of Pickens County.

You have a right to a free copy of

g py the petition filed in this case which you may obtain from the Clerk of Superior Court, Pickens County, upon identifying yourself, or from the Pickens County Department of Family and Children Services.

If you fail to appear, the court can terminate your rights in your absence.

If the court at the trial finds that the facts set out in the petition to terminate parental rights are true and that termination of your rights will serve the best interests of your child, the court can enter a judgment ending your rights to your child.

If the judgment terminates your parental rights, you will no longer have any rights to your child. This means that you will not have the right to visit, contact, or have custody of your child or make any decisions affecting your child or your child's earnings or property. Your child will be legally freed to be adopted by someone else.

Even if your parental rights are terminated: (1) You will still be responsible for providing financial support (child support payments) for your child's care unless and until your child is adopted; and (2) Your child can still inherit from you unless and until your child is adopted.

This is a very serious matter. You should contact an attorney immediately so that you can be prepared for the court hearing. You have the right to hire an attorney and to have him or her represent you. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, the court will appoint an attorney if the court finds that you are an indigent person. Whether or not you decide to hire an attorney, you have the right to attend the hearing of your case, to call witnesses on your behalf, and to question those witnesses brought against you.

You are advised that O.C.G.A. 1511-283(b) provides as follows: “the biological father who is not the legal father may lose all rights to the child and will not be entitled to object to the termination of his rights to the child unless, within 30 days of receipt of notice, he files: (1) A petition to legitimate such child; and (2) Notice of the filing of the petition to legitimate with the court in which the termination of parental rights proceeding is pending.”

Witness the hand of the Honorable Jan Wheeler, Juvenile Court Judge, Pickens County, this 25th day of July, 2016.
