First day of high school a hit at home Like the great sage and eminent philosopher Steve Miller once said, “time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future.”

For me, last week was a sign of that.

My daughter, who I swear was just starting kindergarten a couple of short years ago, began her freshman year of high school.

High school. Four quick years and, hopefully, she will be flying like an eagle off to college.

A lot is going to happen in these next four years, though. She’s going to go on her first date, get her heart broken, break someone else’s heart, get a job, get her driver’s license, break my car and, through all of this, find time to graduate from high school.

It’s gone too fast already, and I don’t foresee things slowing down now that she has hit high school. I have to try to remember to take the time to enjoy these moments while I can. I don’t want

Rob Oesterle to look back and wonder where the time went, although I know I will. When the time moves this quickly and my memory doesn’t keep up like it used to, I know I am bound to miss some things.

I already have the first great high school memory, though. Junior high was, to be honest, not the greatest experience for her. I understood her apprehension about starting high school.

The building is a lot bigger than what she was used to. There were going to be kids from three schools filtering in as freshmen. Add that to the sophomores, juniors and seniors in the hallway she doesn’t know, and it can be a scary proposition.

And yet, when I was there to pick her up after the first day of school last week, I saw a bigger smile on her face coming out of that high school than I did during any day of her three years at junior high.

As she sat in the car, she told me that she already likes high school better than junior high.

I have to admit, I did, too. In high school, you start to really find out who you are and, more importantly, find some others who are like you. We all have quirks. You end up finding out whose quirks match your own and you start hanging out together. There are clubs for nearly every interest and you are encouraged to try any of them out.

You can spread your wings and fly.

Just don’t do it too fast. Your parents aren’t ready to let you go just yet.

Daughter saves unconscious mother with call to 911 dispatchers

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Angel Enerson woke up June 15 experiencing chest pains.

She went about her day with her three children, Austin, 8, Bryanna, 7, and Jayden, 3.

But just before noon, she knew she was in trouble. She passed out before she could call for help from her eastside Morris home where her family lives.

“Mom passed out, and Jayden came to me and said mom was dead,” Bryanna said. “When I came out to check on her, mom said call 911.”

Angel doesn’t remember much about the events that got her transported by ambulance to the hospital, but she’s now heard the 911 call Bryanna made to get her help.

“I heard it at a cookout the dispatchers had for Bryanna,” Angel said. “I was very proud of her. I tell the kids a thousand things a day and it seems they never listen.”

In February, Angel was taken into surgery for a medical condition with her heart when she experienced atrial fibrillation, commonly called AFib. AFib is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications, according to the American Heart Association.

While the doctors don’t know what caused it, they are trying to treat the condition.

“Medically, they are trying to figure it out. It’s not common for someone my age,” the 30-year-old mother said. “I’ve talked with the kids about it and school teaches them how to call 911, thankfully.”

Bryanna said the woman on the phone, 911 dispatcher Robyn Padovano, asked her a lot of questions and kept talking to her until the ambulance came.

It was the 911 call that caught the attention of the Grundy County Emergency Telephone System Board, as well as Morris Police Chief Brent Dite, who honored Bryanna at the Aug. 15 Morris City Council meeting.

“I, Brent Dite, chief of police of the Morris Police Department, am proud to issue to you, Bryanna En-

Dite then played a large portion of the 911 call where Bryanna can be heard answering Padavano’s questions, including telling the dispatcher her mother takes medicine for her heart.

The letter of commendation was in conjunction with the city’s “Life Saving Award,” the first issued by Dite.

Dite recognized her for being able to tell the dispatcher her mother passed out, giving her home address, providing medical history, answering questions and updating the dispatcher with her mother’s condition, as well as making sure

LOCAL NEWS Grundy, Livingston farm bureaus to host meeting to teach about solar farms

Have a news tip? Contact Rob Oesterle at 815-942-3221 or news@morrisherald-news.com.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Local farm bureaus have scheduled a meeting for next week in Dwight to provide more information to area farmers who have been contacted by an out-of-state company that wants to put up solar farms in Illinois.

Grundy County Farm Bureau manager Victoria Wax said some area farmers have been contacted about the possibility of leasing land to the solar farm company.

“There is a company from out of state looking at making agreements with some area farmers,” Wax said. “They want to lease a 20- to 80-acre piece of land to put up solar farms, with a 20-year agreement.”

An informational meeting has been scheduled for Monday at the Dwight Village Hall meeting room by the Grundy and Livingston County Farm bureaus; information regarding what to ask and what to look for will be discussed at the meeting. Livingston County Farm Bureau manager Jody Hughes said that

after members approached her with questions, it was agreed that an informational meeting would benefit the farmers who have been contacted.

“It’s purely informational so they know what they are signing,” Hughes said. “We hope anyone who has any questions will attend.”

The Aug. 29 meeting is open to any landowner who would like to know more. Wax said there will also be a meeting held in LaSalle County the same night hosted by the LaSalle County Farm Bureau to address the same questions.

Wax said farmers throughout Illinois have been contacted about the solar farm, but there is little more information available at this time.

Veterans invited to Coal City picnic to leave troubles behind for a day

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – For the fourth year, Operation Firm Handshake organizers are inviting veterans and their families to attend a picnic gathering aimed at providing them a place to relax and enjoy the day with fellow veterans.

The Operation Firm Handshake gathering started when veteran Max Valdez of Coal City and a friend sat down and discussed hosting a picnic to honor veterans at the Coal City Area Club four years ago.

The event, which has grown each year, invites veterans from all branches of the armed services to come together to enjoy food and games while being entertained with music and the popular “Otis of Mayberry” who helps “police” lock up the unruly characters, charging them bail to be released as a fundraiser for the event.

The only requirement to attend the event is that you are a veteran or you are a family member attending with a veteran, Bill Bomba said.

The event is held under a pavilion at the Coal City Area Club with flags from each branch surrounding the

picnic area.

The event initially was focused more on Coal City and Grundy County veterans, but they have removed that from the literature in hopes that veterans everywhere will know they are welcome to attend.

“It’s just a way of saying ‘thank you’ to veterans,” Bomba said.

He said organizers also hope to have service organizations present that can help veterans and provide them with needed resources.

The day will offer hamburgers and hot dogs, according to the event flier.

There also will be door prizes, activities, entertainment and displays.

The event is organized and paid for by local Grundy County veterans organizations and businesses.

Lesson: Life is a beautiful ride Friends, co-workers honor late couple Jan and Mark Wendling

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris School District 54 teachers came together last week to honor their friend and former co-worker Jan Wendling.

Jan and her husband were struck and killed by a car in June while riding their bicycles.

The faculty and friends gathered Aug. 10 to host a fundraiser at the Shabbona Middle School building, where they bought T-shirts created for the event and participated in raffles to raise money for the Mark and Jan Wendling scholarship fund created by their children.

“As a way of honoring Jan and Mark Wendling, we chose to ride bikes from Shabbona to White Oak, not only as a tribute to them, but also to bring Jan home with us,” teacher Denise Bach said in an email. “All of the teachers moving to White Oak is change that we hope will bring us together as one big family, with Jan looking over us. We wore our shirts

that were created as a fundraiser for the memorial scholarship.”

As a way to honor the teacher and her engineer husband, the shirts have the words “Life is a beautiful ride” along with a graphic of a man and woman on a bicycle with angel wings.

The group raised more than $3,600

to go toward the fund, which will annually provide scholarships to two Morris Community High School seniors.

One scholarship will go to a senior entering college for education and one for a student entering college for engineering, the fields in which the Wendlings spent their lives work-

ing. The specific criteria and exact amount have not been decided yet, but the fund is already set up at a local bank.

T-shirts will remain available for sale for $15 until Aug. 26 at https:// wendling3.itemorder.com/sale, with the funds continuing to go to the scholarship fund.

Food, entertainment key at Market on Broadway

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Between bouts of rain Saturday morning, Coal City patrol officer Fred “Skeeter” Ehrman showed that cops know how to cook at Market Fresh on Broadway.

“We want to be community-oriented,” said Coal City Police Sgt. Tom Logan, the department’s public information officer. “This is more of a pilot program for us to have officers with the public at events so they feel more comfortable when there is an interaction.”

Ehrman showed up with tongs in hand and served up barbecue chicken, buffalo chicken, and pork chop sandwiches to those enjoying the farmers market.

Despite the market opening in the middle of a downpour, customers were on hand under umbrellas to see what local produce and baked items they could buy.

“As the farmers market rolls on, we

see different successes in each one,” Village Administrator Matt Fritz said.

“Even after the terrible downpour, people showed up immediately when the sun came out. That shows the interest in our community.”

As the sun came out, so did more shoppers.

“I think it’s a great way to buy produce while getting to know the people who grow it,” shopper Sue Anderson said.

In addition to cops cooking, the Coal City Library had story time under the gazebo, where kids could listen to a story, and then participate in some dancing to get out their energy.

“Entertainment has always been a focus of Ann Gill, who is on the committee,” Fritz said. “Our question of who is providing food and who is participating is filled with our community members.”

He said it’s exciting as the village Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com goes through the first year seeing different ideas and how officials can ac- Coal City patrol officer Fred “Skeeter” Ehrman took part in Cops Can Cook at the Market commodate them to be successful.

Channahon school board OKs surplus 2016-17 budget

district had set an accelerated payoff schedule for bonds issued and made its final payment the past year.

The board also approved spending $8,583 for a six-month online reading program for its students called MyOn, which is the same program the district used as an addition to its summer reading program this year.

Board member Dee Foreman, who cast the only vote against the measure, said that she wondered whether spending that amount of money on reading programs that were not online would be better for the students.

The American Academy of Pediatricians says children’s daily screen time should be limited.

“We have no data on how this

works for our students,” she said.

“I think it gives them another option [for reading],” Superintendent Nick Henkle said. “We used it to supplement our summer reading program ... We had over 2,000 books read in a very short period of time.”

The program will be a large part of the district’s new 21st Century Learning Program, Henkle added.

“This is not going to replace libraries or books in any way,” he said.

After the meeting, Henkle said the reading program also monitors students’ reading progress, customizes their book lists, reads aloud to students who need extra support, and allows teachers to use results as assessments.

CHANNAHON – The Channahon District 17 school board on Monday approved the district’s 2016-17 final budget, presented by Chief School Business Official Michael Schroeder.

Total revenues for the year are budgeted at $20.43 million, which is down 0.6 percent from last year, and expenditures are budgeted at $16.01 million, which is a decrease of 9.3 percent.

Expenditures include a 4.3 percent increase in education fund spending, mostly because of personnel raises and implementation of the district’s 21st Century Learning Plan, which will cost a net $544,000 this year, with

additional staff and equipment.

Capital projects will decrease by 51 percent from the past year, when there were significant construction costs for a cafeteria building addition at N.B. Galloway School. The district will pay an additional $588,000 on the Galloway project this year.

The budget also includes a 24 percent decrease in operations and maintenance expenditures because of the purchases last year of a new HVAC system at Three Rivers School, a box truck and a technology wiring upgrade. There also will be a 0.9 percent decrease this year in transportation spending.

The line item for debt payment will decrease 100 percent, to zero. The

“Two years ago we had a town hall meeting and asked what makes a livable community for seniors,” Buck said. “We found that many Grundy residents don’t want to move to Florida or Arizona, but would rather stay here.”

She said that led back to the question about adult day care.

Buck said that the idea is just in an exploratory mission mode. If a need or want for the facility is proved, the Senior Network can look at how to make it possible.

The survey is available online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/279JL38 or on the Grundy County Community Foundation website at www.cfgrundycounty.com.

Earlier this week there had been 21 responses to the survey, and Buck said the more responses received, the more accurate the need will be defined.

Anyone in Grundy County is invited to take the survey.

Things to think about when selecting a funeral home

When making funeral arrangements, whether at a time of need or in advance, the selection of a funeral home and funeral director are very important, and can ultimately have a lifelong lasting impression.

There is certainly much more to consider than the bricks and mortar of the building, which establishes the business.

Individuals need to be comfortable with whom they are working with, and know that they are being cared for by professionals whom not only can offer everything the larger funeral services professionals provide, but can extend individual and personal attention, when it matters most.

Reeves Funeral Homes have locations throughout Grundy County in Morris, Coal City and Gardner, as well as Baskerville

Funeral Home in Wilmington. Whether your wishes are to utilize one of their comfortable, well furnished, boutique style funeral homes, or have services beyond the parameters of their local facilities, you can be assured that Reeves and Baskerville’s services, as well as attention to detail are unparalleled.

Reeves and Baskerville Funeral Homes have been honored annually since 2007 by the National Funeral Directors Association, and have been a recipient of The Pursuit of Excellence Eagle Award. They are two of only six funeral homes in the State of Illinois to receive this prestigious honor, and are among the top 2% of funeral homes nationally.

Reeves was also not only voted as the Reader’s Choice Best Funeral Service in the Greater Grundy County Area, but also one of the Best Employers.

Jim Feeney

These are just a few examples of the quality of service, dedication and compassion that Reeves and Baskerville Funeral Homes have to offer. Check out the testimonies of families who have been served by Reeves and Baskerville at:

MORRIS – The Grundy County Senior Network is conducting a survey to see whether a senior-adult day care center could generate enough clients to thrive locally.

“A long time ago the Community Foundation surveyed the county for needs. While we knew about the needs of child care, we also discussed that we have an aging population that wants to be able to stay in their own home,” said Julie Buck, director of the Grundy County Community Foundation. “Jim Baum and I discussed having a facility where child care was at one end and care for the elderly at the other end with a common area for both.”

Buck said the foundation is now offering a seven-question survey to area residents to see whether there is a need or a want to provide adult day care services in Grundy County.

FREE Special Education Rights Training Series For Parents and Professionals Presented by Family Resource Center on Disabilities in collaboration with the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living Trainings will be held at Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living 2415 W Jefferson St #A, Joliet, Il 60435 Register online www.frcd.org or call (312) 939-3513

Shorewood, Grundy police recognized for traffic safety

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com TINLEY PARK – Three local police departments were recognized last week as some of the best in the state for their efforts to increase traffic safety.

The Elwood Police Department took first place for the municipal agency with fewer than 10 officers in the Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge and Shorewood police tied with Chatham for the best agency with fewer than 25.

The Grundy County Sheriff’s Office police also won in its division and received the Judges Award for the best overall application.

“I’d agree that traffic enforcement probably has the biggest effect on people who live in or pass through Grundy County. We don’t have a lot of violent crime, but we’ve got two interstates and two highways used by almost everyone,” Sheriff Kevin Callahan said at the Aug. 17 event in Tinley Park that honored recipients. Shorewood Chief Aaron Klima said traffic enforcement will always be a priority.

“You can drive as well as you possibly can but some wayward motorist runs

into you,” he said.

Elwood Chief Fred Hayes said fatal and serious crashes have a domino effect of cost to those involved, their families, their finances and the time police have to spend investigating them.

According to the National Transportation Highway Safety Authority, there were about 1,000 fatal crashes in Illinois in 2015 – an 8 percent increase from 2014.

Distracted driving, intoxicated driving and speeding are the leading crash factors and remain the focus of enforcement efforts. Besides an award plaque, Elwood and Grundy sheriff’s police received a portable alcohol-measuring device officers can use on roadside traffic stops.

“These can provide an officer with probable cause to bring a driver who is suspected of being intoxicated back to the station to take a breath test,” Hayes said.

Breath tests are not challenged in court as much as field sobriety tests.

Shorewood police received a laser radar to measure a vehicle’s speed.

“It targets an individual car more precisely than the radar that sends out a spectrum where someone will argue it’s another vehicle that was speeding,” Klima said.

Bigger Bite served nachos at the last Morris Cruise Night and is currently in a soft opening, providing lunch and dinner items.

“The response has been incredible to overwhelming,” Scott Darlington said. “We’ve had a soft opening so the kids can learn how to make the sandwiches and we can identify which menu items to keep or discard.”

He said they’ve closed early several nights because they’ve run out of food, due to the overwhelming response of customers.

In addition to bringing back the sandwiches and nachos, as well as other items, the question has been asked, “Will the ice cream be back too?”

“Everyone wants to know if we will be serving the ice cream. The answer is yes, we will,” he said. “We’re working on getting the equipment and have ice cream available after our soft opening.”

He said the soft opening may last up to one month until he feels the staff is adequately trained to provide the same food and service that his parents provided.

MORRIS – It’s been more than six years since Morris residents could walk into Bigger Bite and order the famed beefy nachos.

But the wait is over.

Scott and Lois Darlington have reopened the sandwich shop, formerly run by Scott’s parents, that sits at the corner of Liberty and Benton streets in downtown Morris.

“When it closed, it wasn’t a matter of business, it was a matter of family,” Scott Darlington said. “Mom and Dad were getting older and they couldn’t do it anymore.”

He said his sister Diana stepped in and helped run it for a while, but soon the family realized they should close down.

After several people approached the Darlingtons to see about purchasing and reopening it, the couple decided they would do it themselves.

“We had a couple of people try to do it, but they couldn’t come up with the money,” he said. “We had already remodeled the whole building, so we thought why not just do it

Graves Family Park to move forward Seneca Park Board gets OSLAD grant in 2014

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com SENECA – It’s been a long wait for the Seneca Park and Recreation Board, but the group finally received word last week from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources that the OSLAD Grant the board received in 2014 has been reinstated.

Board Chairman Fran Kasten said that soon after learning the board was approved for the Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development grant, the state suspended the release of the funds in early 2015 because of the budget crisis.

“We were given the $214,000 matching grant at the end of 2014 and then told it was put on hold in 2015,” Kasten said. “It was just released last week.”

The grant is being used for the development of a new 15.68-acre park at the west end of Williams Street in Seneca that was recently named Graves Family Park.

JOLIET – On Saturday, the Crisis Line of Will and Grundy Counties will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a laidback celebration at the Joliet Area Historical Museum.

Forty years marks the amount of help the nonprofit has provided in times of need. The organization offers aroundthe-clock services, such as information and referrals, telephone counseling and support, suicide prevention and intervention, and reassurance calls.

But Executive Director Michele Batara said that Saturday will be a time to celebrate 40 years while hopefully getting the word out more about the organization, and potentially raising some funds in the process.

“We’re not expecting thousands of dollars,” Batara said. “But we can always use the support.”

For $30, attendees can enjoy – from 6 to 10 p.m. – live entertainment, food and entrance to the Joliet Area Historical Museum’s exhibits.

elapse after notices are sent. The strike started August 18; District 111 started the new school year Aug. 15, while 201 started Aug. 17.

Officials with Districts 111 and 201 have opposed fair share, saying they cannot “philosophically agree” to an initial contract that forces drivers who do not wish to join the union to pay dues annually. There have been drivers at both districts who’ve publicly opposed the union.

Flynn has said fair share is needed to support the union’s expenses for legal representation and contract negotiations. He said safety is one of the sticking points as well, as is seniority and respect in the workplace. The union represents about 1,000 school bus drivers in and around Will County, Flynn said, including in Joliet, Plainfield, Naperville, Oswego, Wilmington and Coal City.

Those contracts have language that says if a bus driver “pre-trips” a bus and something is wrong with that bus, they can “down” the bus, Flynn said.

“These people say, ‘No. If we say to get on that bus and go, you go,’ ” he said.

“That makes them civilly and criminally liable if something happens on that bus.

They refuse to let them down that bus.

Everyone else has the right to down a bus. These drivers don’t, and they won’t let them. We told these people to get seri-

ous and we will come back to the table.”

Flynn said in an email districts had all summer to work on buses, and claims that when District 111 started Aug. 15, two buses broke down. MCHS Superintendent Kenneth Lee said he was unaware of any malfunctions that occurred last week with the district’s buses.

Monn stated in an email that District 201 always ensures the safety of students and staff.

“Any implications to the contrary is false. Our school buses go through hundreds of inspections each year, beginning with daily inspections by our drivers and including multiple inspections by our certified mechanics,” he said last week.

Drivers also attended school board meetings held for District 201 on Aug. 15 and District 11 on Aug. 18, with speakers at both meetings asking the districts to work with them on safety issues.

The District 111 school board, which met after the strike started, did not respond to questions of the speakers, but issued a statement at the beginning of the meeting.

“The Minooka Community High School Board District 111 board of education is interested in resolving this current transportation negotiation with the bus drivers ... and reaching a collective bargaining agreement with them as soon as possible,” Board Vice President Patti Ruettiger read.

After the meeting, Lee said he hoped to get the issues resolved soon.

Will County defeats Grundy in drag strip grudge match

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Morris Fire Chief Tracey Steffes had a plan when it came to winning his race in the Will County vs.

Grundy County Grudge Match.

“My plan is I’m going to drive it like I stole it,” Steffes said in an interview before winning his race against Joliet Fire Chief Joe Formhals.

Afterward, Steffes said that he used a little more strategy, such as pulling in the side mirrors for reduced wind friction.

Steffes was one of two Grundy County officials who won their races in Saturday’s matchup. Will County officials took four of the six races to win the trophy in the Saturday night drag racing contest at Route 66 Raceway.

Once Larry Walsh, the elder statesman in the Grudge Match, won the first race, things were looking pretty good for his team.

“When you see him [Walsh] up there and he goes first and he wins, you got to follow in his footsteps,” said Will County Sheriff Mike Kelley, who won his race against Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan.

The contest between mayors, sheriffs and other public officials from Will and

Grundy counties was the first of its kind and was part of the D’Arcy Buick-GMC Route 66 Classic. The two sides drove GMC and Chevrolet trucks down the Joliet drag strip.

The white-haired Walsh, the Will County executive, took some ribbing from his fellow racers before the contest.

Walsh had the last laugh, commending state Rep. David Welter, who was Grundy County Board chairman until

last month, for giving him a good race.

“I think experience held out, and that proved to be the best,” said Walsh, who hit a top speed of 94.3 mph.

In other races in the Grudge Match: • Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland won his race against Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow.

• Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton bested Morris Police Chief Brent Dite.

• Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk won

the last race, clinching the Will County team victory, against Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick.

O’Dekirk said his strategy was simple: “Just go fast. It was to the floor all the way.”

Racers named the charity of their choice.

“There’s going to be $6,000 going to charity,” said Terry D’Arcy, sponsor for the Route 66 Classic, “That’s the important thing.”

After a standing ovation, Bryanna was presented with the letter, as well as the award from the ETSB. Bryanna, whom her mother describes as a “mother hen” to her little brother, said her only concern was her mother. She was both worried and scared, but she’s happy to know she can call 911 and get help.

Austin, while not recognized publicly, also stepped up to help on that day, his mother said.

“I’m proud of both of them,” Angel said. “Austin took care of Jayden, who has autism and doesn’t deal well with what happened that day.”

Endowing education on our children

Back-to-school time – yeah! For my family, that means marching band – parades, high school football, competitions, and for the first time, college football!

It’s also a good time to talk about education and how donors can endow what they care about.

Let’s start with what’s most familiar – scholarships. There are many scholarships available to high school students in Grundy County.

For some at-risk students, this may be their only opportunity to go to college. For other students it is an acknowledgement of their 12 years of hard work.

We are thrilled that almost all of the funds that we hold for scholarships are endowed, meaning the principle is invested in perpetuity and the income is distributed for scholarships annually – forever.

But the education sphere is so different than when most of these scholarships were created, so let’s brainstorm about how donors can design endowments to meet all sorts of today’s educational needs.

First, there is no “typical” college student these days. Each school has

VIEWS Julianne Buck a diverse mix of students who are of different races, religions and home countries; of varying disabilities; from high-income and low-income families; straight-A students, remedial students, students who know exactly what they want to study and students struggling to find a niche; single students, married students, students who are parents, students who are fresh out of high school, students coming back to finish a degree, and students who are older and looking to get that first degree in middle age.

There are also many choices of post-high school quality education that prepares students for great careers – or helps gain that next level of advancement: tech schools, apprenticeships in the trades, community college, private colleges, certificates, online courses, and traditional universities for bachelor’s, master’s and Ph. D. degrees.

If you have an affinity and empathy for any of these students in today’s schools, you can design a scholarship to help them with their hurdles.

Scholarships don’t have to be for tuition, either. There are many expenses affiliated with advanced education: housing, meals, fees, books, child care, tutors and more. It’s often the stresses outside the classroom that cause a student to perform poorly or drop out of school.

If scholarship isn’t your thing, there are other great ways that donors can support education at all levels: • Do you hear about teachers buying school supplies with their own money? Set up an endowment to forever provide funds for this purpose.

• Have you heard of someone “endowing a chair” at a university?

You can do the same thing at the K-12 level. If you don’t want a program cut, you can endow that program so that it doesn’t get cut as a decision of the school board and administration.

• What about extracurricular activities? Do you want the band to be able to travel to that Bowl game?

What about the drama club traveling to the city for a world premiere? What

about bringing in an award-winning coach to speak to athletes? Donors can design endowments to achieve any of these goals – and more.

• Do you want the local public schools to not have to be so reliant on property taxes and state cutbacks?

Many of our local schools have endowments and most of them are held here at the Community Foundation. The higher their endowments, the more annual income they get that isn’t tied to taxes and state decisions. Consider a gift to these endowments are part of your living charitable giving plan or as part of your estate plan.

Flexibility is why we call donor funds “donor designed funds.” You as the donor can design a fund to meet your charitable giving goals, solve a problem in the community, and fund it with the assets of your choice.

For information, call us at 941-0852 or email julie@cfgrundycounty.com.

Remember, don’t give to a community foundation; give through a community foundation.

General cardiologist joins Morris Hospital Cardiovascular Specialists SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Board-certified cardiologist G. Steinar Gudmundsson, M.D., has joined Morris Hospital Cardiovascular Specialists.

A cardiologist in northern Illinois for more than 13 years, Gudmundsson is partnering with cardiologists Dr. Syed Ahmed and Dr. Athar Saeed. Together, they diagnose, treat and manage cardiovascular conditions through their Channahon, Dwight, Morris and Ottawa offices.

“Morris Hospital Cardiovascular Specialists is a rapidly growing cardiology group that provides me an opportunity to use my skills and expertise for the benefit of the community,” Gudmundsson said. “There is a growing need for cardiology services in the area, and I feel I bring knowledge and experience which will help to enhance the services available at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers.”

A native of Iceland, Gudmundsson attended medical school at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik. He completed an internal medicine residen-

As a cardiologist, Gudmundsson has expertise in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, blood-pressure management, heart failure, circulation problems of the lower extremity, and cholesterol management. His specialized training in G. Steinar Gudmundsson, M.D. non-interventional cardiology makes cy at the University of Iowa Hospital him qualified in the detection and and Clinics, followed by fellowships in treatment of heart disease using cardigeneral cardiology, nuclear cardiolo- ac imaging, such as angiograms, stress gy, heart failure and transplantation tests, echocardiograms, ultrasound at Loyola University Medical Center. studies of the arteries and veins, and

CAT-scans of the heart.

A husband and father of two teenage children, Gudmundsson believes the best patient care is based on a trusting relationship and collaboration between the physician and the patient, both working toward a common goal of maximizing the quality and quantity of life.

“It is important to develop a close, trusting relationship between the patient and the physician in order to optimize the outcome,” Gudmundsson said. “The patient-doctor relationship should have the goal of improving the lives of the patients and the community as a whole.”

Morris Hospital Cardiovascular Specialists has office locations in Morris at 151 W. High St. across from Morris Hospital; in Dwight at the Dwight Healthcare Center of Morris Hospital, 101 S. Prairie Ave.; in Ottawa at 1404 Aquarius Circle, Suite A; and in Channahon at the Morris Hospital Ridge Road Campus, 27240 W. Saxony Drive.

OPINIONS

25

You might think that months of bipartisan cooperation on numerous criminal justice reform bills would make that particular topic off limits for partisan campaigns this year.

You’d be wrong.

Gov. Bruce Rauner announced early last year that he wants the state to reduce its prison population by 25 percent over 10 years.

He has since signed numerous pieces of legislation during the past year or so to help achieve that goal, including recently, when he signed the marijuana decriminalization bill into law.

For the most part, House Democrats kept their members who are targeted for defeat

by Republicans off those bills. The move was both defensive (to prevent their incumbents who represent tight districts from accusations that they are “soft on criminals”), and, as it turns out, offensive.

“In southern Illinois, we value the safety of our neighbors, friends and families,” begins a recent TV ad by Rep. John Bradley, D-Marion. “So why would anyone want to weaken penalties for dangerous criminals?

Dave Severin’s biggest supporter wants to let 25 percent of the state’s prisoners loose into our communities.”

Severin’s “biggest supporter” is obviously Rauner, via his massive $11 million in contributions to the Illinois Republican Party so far this cycle. The state party has funneled much of that cash ($5.9 million as of last week) to the House Republican Organization, according to numbers compiled by Scott Kennedy at Illinois Election Data. Bradley’s opponent Severin reported raising just $9,335 in the second quarter, but HRO has been running ads on his behalf since early June.

So the Severin campaign’s recent denial that its “biggest supporter” (which it claims is actually HRO) has no such position on releasing prisoners is nonsense. But its claim that Bradley’s ad is reminiscent of the infamous 1988 “Willie Horton” advertisement is pretty close to being true. Horton, you will recall, was given a weekend furlough from a Massachusetts prison and didn’t come back.

In the meantime, he committed murder, armed robbery and rape. The Democratic presidential nominee in 1988 was Michael Dukakis, who was governor at the time of Horton’s escape. He supported the furlough program and was ultimately blamed for Horton’s rampage in a devastating ad that benefited President George H.W. Bush.

Unlike the Horton spot, Bradley’s ad doesn’t mention any specific crimes committed by released prisoners. But there was hope

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller in some circles that these sorts of ads would become a thing of the past in Illinois. A newspaper op-ed co-written by Sen. Kwame Raoul earlier this year cited poll results showing 74 percent of Illinoisans believe our criminal justice system is “broken.”

“While some have questioned whether Governor Rauner’s goal to reduce incarceration by 25 percent is politically achievable,” Raoul wrote, “it turns out that the voters actually support far-reaching policies that can make a real difference in reducing the number of persons held in Illinois’ prisons.”

Indeed, another poll conducted recently for the Rauner-allied Illinois Policy Institute found that 56 percent of Illinoisans believe that the criminal justice system is “unfair.”

“A generation of candidates for public office have come of age worried about being the subject of a ‘Willie Horton’ advertisement,” Raoul wrote in that March 15 op-ed with Republican state Sen. Karen McConnaughay. “Now it seems that we have public support, political agreement and momentum on our side to fix our broken criminal justice system.”

So, if this TV barrage is successful, will it halt the governor’s policy momentum?

Raoul told me last week he hoped it wouldn’t. But, he warned, it “ain’t going to be easy” to pass comprehensive legislation as it is, so he’s worried about the potential impact.

Incumbents who are targeted for defeat are rarely part of a controversial “solution” in Springfield – and Bradley has most definitely become a target since Rauner’s election. The heavy lifting at the Statehouse is usually done by those who don’t have to worry too much about electoral opposition.

Rauner’s vast cash reserves can help comfort wary Republicans, and it’s highly doubtful that “safe” Democrats will ever draw a primary opponent over an issue like this.

Political organizations always use what works best in campaigns and this issue apparently polls well enough to include it in a TV spot, so that just might give some folks pause if Bradley wins and the issue is successfully deployed in other legislative campaigns. Let’s hope not.

A Brush with Kindness off to a good start It was just over a year ago that Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity announced our newest program, A Brush With Kindness, which is designed to help low-income homeowners who struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes.

Lots of preparation went into establishing the program well enough to accept our first applications earlier this year. Once we began accepting applications, we had to wait until the weather cooperated so we could actually start our first project.

Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity recently completed our first A Brush With Kindness project for Sharon Knapp of Godley. Sharon had a variety of projects that needed to be completed.

Our volunteers replaced the mailbox, installed a new storm door, painted the shutters and exterior door, stained and repaired the deck, and tore down a small shed.

COMMUNITY PULSE Sarah Peterson Through a grant from Thrivent Financial, we were able to contribute funds toward repairing Sharon’s roof, which was repaired by Shenberg Construction. In addition, Mickey Feeney and D Construction donated their services to repair the gravel driveway and Johnke Tree Service donated tree trimming.

It was truly a community effort to help Sharon with these repairs.

Sharon’s comments show she is genuinely appreciative for all the work, “To all the volunteers who donated their time and energy to improve the appearance of my house: A heartfelt appreciation can’t be put into words. I pray that God will bless each

and every one of you!”

A Brush with Kindness allows Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity to help more families without having large upfront costs like we have with building a new home. The program also allows us to serve current homeowners, who are ineligible for our new home program.

Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity accepts A Brush With Kindness applications on a rolling basis with projects being completed during spring, summer and fall. Applicants must meet the eligibility requirements based on need, ability to pay a small fee, and willingness to partner.

Applicants are usually impacted by age, disability or family circumstances where they are unable to complete the repairs themselves. Examples of exterior repairs include painting, gutters, landscaping, stairway repair, or building an access ramp.

Applicants are asked to repay a

small loan, up to $500, to help cover some costs of the project.

Applicants must also contribute a minimum two hours of “sweat equity” unless physically unable, which is determined on a case-by-case basis.

Homeowners who are physically unable to complete sweat equity are able to have family earn sweat equity.

If you or someone you know would like to apply for Grundy-Three Rivers Habitat for Humanity’s A Brush With Kindness, please visit us at www.grundy3rivershabitat.org or call our office at 815-942-1452.

We Care of Grundy County hosts resource day for clients If you go

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – We Care of Grundy County held a resource day Aug. 17 in an attempt to make it easier for those in need to find resources they could use.

Eric Fisher, executive director at We Care, said his hopes in hosting resource days was to provide clients who are already receiving services at We Care the opportunity to meet with other organizations who may be able to provide services to them.

“We’re trying to have a monthly resource day to bring together multiple agencies at one time,” Fisher said. “It brings both We Care clients and mutual clients together in one place.”

He said the opportunity is important for clients who may have issues with having transportation to get to appointments and organizations, and need to decide where to go for help.

“They may not know about another organization and this is a convenient way to save them an extra trip, especially when they are on their last gallon of gas,” Fisher said.

Morris YMCA to host fall festival for all ages

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Greater Joliet Area YMCA is celebrating fall by hosting a bags tournament Saturday at its Morris location.

“As everybody gets back to school and fall programs start up at the YMCA, we thought it would be a good time to host an event,” said Ian Stewart, health and wellness director. “We want the YMCA to be a gathering place in town where people want to come together.”

If you go n WHAT: YMCA Fall Kick Off Festival n WHEN: 11 a.m. Aug. 27 n WHERE: 320 Wauponsee St., Morris n COST: Call 815-513-8080 for information

In addition to the bags tournament, the YMCA will also offer face painting and carnival-type games for younger participants.

Stewart said he’s excited about putting together a tournament where members of the winning team will each go home with $150 and a 40-inch television, and second-place winners will go home with $75 each.

The addition of the carnival games and face painting is to give younger members of the family something to do while older members compete for prizes and bragging rights.

The event is open to both members and nonmembers, and registration will be open until Friday.

Stewart said the initial registration was set to end Thursday, but if community members would still like to sign up on Friday they can – they just won’t have a T-shirt available for them at the event.

The cost to enter is $15 per person for YMCA members and $20 per person for nonmembers.

For those hanging out for a good part of the day for the tournament, food will be available for purchase from Pam’s Academy of Dance corn dog stand.

The event is sponsored by D’Arcy Chevy Buick Cadillac in Morris.

Grundy youths compete in Grundy’s first 4-H Amazing Race SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Youths from throughout Grundy County and surrounding areas competed earlier this month in the first Grundy Amazing Race last week.

“The youth and adults were enthusiastic and learned how to work together to solve the challenges” John Davis, youth development educator for Grundy, Will, and Kankakee counties, said in a news release.

“They had to use creativity and teamwork to be successful.”

The race was composed of eight leadership and team-building-style games that challenged participants

of all ages to think creatively, solve problems and work together.

In one game, affectionately dubbed the “cup stacking game,” the team had to stack a pyramid of cups using only a rubber band and a bunch of string.

The group learned teamwork and leadership skills as they had to delegate tasks and work together as a unit to get the task done.

Teams included youth and adults of all ages, and though everyone was a winner for making it through the tough course, the scores were talPhoto provided lied and overall top finishers were awarded with trophies and the pride Youths from throughout Grundy County and surrounding areas competed earlier this of knowing that their team survived. month in the first Grundy Amazing Race.

Staff Sgt. Mark Brienen of Joliet, with G Company, Recruiting and Retention Battalion based in Joliet, said the positive feedback from the civilians continued throughout the training and they all took something away from the experience.

“There are common misconceptions about the military in the civilian population,” Brienen said. “It’s good for the

civilians to be able to see how we operate and get a glimpse into our everyday life.”

“All this training gives these employers, college staff members, private business owners and members of various organizations a good understanding of what we do during training,” said 1st Sgt. Johnny O’brien of Amboy, with G Company, Recruiting and Retention Battalion based in Joliet.

MARSEILLES – Members of Illinois Joining Forces and Illinois communities participated in “Military Immersion” training on July 7 and 8 at Marseilles Training Center in Marseilles.

The participants traveled to MTC and experienced military life, interacted with service members and learned about the military. They also were shown military equipment, vehicles and given insight into how to best help and support service members, veterans and their families.

Forty-two civilians in professions ranging from lawyers to health care providers participated in the two-day event.

“These are people who are serving veterans every day, but don’t necessarily know what the military experience is all about,” said Erica Jefferies of Chicago, director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs.

Jefferies said this event provides a little taste of the military life.

“This event has been fantastic and the Chinook flight at the end was a great finale,” said Mike Bauer of Clarendon Hills with Ulta Beauty in Bolingbrook. “This was a great learning experience for me and the other members of the Ulta logisti-

Nettle Creek Summer Reading program a success SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Nettle Creek Elementary School partnered with myON, an online library with thousands of books, to conduct a summer reading program.

The goal of the program was to prevent the “summer slide” with reading that often occurs because summer is filled with so many other exciting activities. The staff set the goal for the

program at 150 books for the summer.

If the goal was met, the plan was to have a PTO-sponsored ice cream sundae party on the first day of school. In addition, all of those who read were entered into a drawing to win a $50 Walmart gift card.

The students at Nettle Creek School read a total of 1,188 books and the ice cream sundae party was a huge success as well.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW

MORRIS – It’s that time of year again. Calendars turn to late August, leaves begin to turn color, kids head back to school, and high school football teams begin to play.

For the Morris football team, the 2016 season will start just as 2015 did, with a home game against Chicago Austin Polytechnic. Morris won last season’s matchup, 49-6.

Austin can be kind of hard to figure out, Morris coach Alan Thorson said, in part because there is no film to speak of for the team to watch.

“What we need to do is make sure we focus on doing what we want to do,” he said. “That’s why we had the referees out at our Maroon and White scrimmage. They told us some things that we need to clean up, then we caught some things as coaches by watching the film of that scrimmage that we want to clean up in this first week.”

Thorson said that his team is eager to get out and hit someone else rather than beating up on each other like they have in the last couple of weeks of practice.

“I would hope that there won’t be any problem with us being motivated,” Thorson said. “It’s the first game of the year. If you can’t get motivated for that, I don’t know what you can get motivated for.

“These kids have set some high expectations for themselves, and just because they are playing a team that may not be ranked very high is no reason not to play up to their expectations. We just want to go out there and play our game and execute our game plan as well as we know how and let the scoreboard take care of itself.”

Austin won’t have the numbers to field a sophomore team, so there will be no sophomore game before Friday’s 7 p.m. varsity game start. Instead, the Redskins’ underclassmen will play Saturday at home against downstate Morton, with the freshmen starting at 10 a.m. and the sophomores at noon.

“We hope that we can use this game to get everyone on the team a chance to play,” Thorson said. “Everyone has been working hard all off-season and all during practice and they deserve a chance to show what they can do on the big field under the lights.”

Another attraction for Friday night will be that it is Future Redskin Night.

Petrick stakes his claim half a world away

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com When it’s 9:30 at night in Morris, it is 11:30 the next morning in Yokohama, Japan. That’s just one of the interesting facts learned recently in a conversation with Morris Community High School graduate Zach Petrick.

Petrick, who was once a promising pitching prospect in St. Louis Cardinals’ organization, had his rights sold to the Yokohama deNA Baystars in mid-December.

“I had no idea it was coming,” Petrick said about the deal with the Japanese team. “I had some international scouts talk to me in Memphis, but they were from teams in Korea, not even Japan. Yokohama is the second-biggest city in Japan, so it’s at least pretty Americanized.”

In January, he had arrived in Japan for spring training, armed with basically the clothes on his back and, thankfully, the shoes on his feet.

“I came over here in January,” Petrick said. “Spring training starts earlier here. My agent called and said my rights had been sold to Yokohama in Japan and I had 24 hours to give them my answer. I talked with my fiáncee and my family and decided to take the guaranteed money. I am getting paid better here than I was in AAA in the USA. “I’ve been lucky with clothes,” the 6-foot-3,195-pound Petrick said. “I can find clothes that fit. The hardest part has been finding a size 13 pair of shoes.

There’s a mall right across the street from my condo, and none of the shoe stores in there carry shoes up to size 13. My mom and my fiáncee [Adria Wannemacher] have each visited twice and brought me a pair of shoes each time.”

For a big portion of spring training and early in the regular season, the focus for Petrick was just figuring out how to live in a country where he didn’t know the language. He figured that the baseball end would take care of itself, as his job, no matter what country, was to get batters out.

“The biggest thing here is the way the hitters time the pitches,” he said.

“You don’t see the big 97 mph fastballs over here, so the hitters are waiting on the breaking pitches. They are very fundamental, bunting, moving the runners over. Which is weird because my game is to be a ground ball pitcher, but I have given up my share of home runs over here. When I first saw that they were trying to hit the ball on the ground, I felt like it fed right into my game. Early in the season, though, I was struggling and getting the ball up and when you

do that over here, it still goes out of the park.”

But, as the season has gone on and he has gotten more comfortable with living in Yokohama, his performance on the mound has improved to the point that he has been moved out of the Baystars’ bullpen and into their starting rotation. He currently sports a 3-1 record with a 4.63 ERA after five starts.

“The biggest thing is that the team hasn’t lost any of my five starts,” he said. “My one loss came when I was coming out of the bullpen early in the season and I think my ERA was around 12 or so after a couple of outings at the start of the season.

“But as I get more comfortable with living here, there are fewer distractions and I can just think about pitching when I am at the park.”

Petrick said he is one of seven international players on the team, and the Baystars employ five translators to help with their transition to the Japanese culture and lifestyle. However, Petrick points to an unexpected source that also helped with his transition.

“Believe it or not, I did watch ‘Mr. Baseball’ with Tom Selleck before I came over here,” he said. “There are parts of that movie that are really similar to what it’s like over here. The Japanese players know some English words, but they speak very broken English, so communication is still hard. Enough to

communicate a little bit, but not that great. The movie does do a pretty good job of capturing the Japanese baseball experience.

“On a typical day, all of the big league games in Japan are at night, but they start at 6 instead of 7 like in the States.

So I will get up and either cook myself breakfast or go across the street where there’s a little American-style diner where I can get a bacon-and-eggs type of meal. Then I come back to my apartment. I live by myself in an apartment.

At this price, an apartment in America would be huge, but I am in a high-rise building and everything is a little smaller here. Anyway, then I will cue up Netflix or another online streaming service and watch a TV show or two. I can’t just flip through channels here on Japanese TV because I can’t read the descriptions or understand what they are saying.”

Another big change for Petrick has been playing in front of a full-sized major league crowd rather than the few thousand that would show up for a AAA game in the United States.

“Half of the crowd is rooting for one team and half is rooting for the other team. When the home team is up at bat, their fans are cheering and the other fans are quiet. When the road team is up, their fans are loud and the other fans are quiet, so it’s loud the entire time. Coming from AAA to stadiums full of 40,000 fans is a big change for me,

but it’s been fun.

“I would like to say ‘Hi’ to my friends and family back home. I miss being back home, but if I keep doing well over here, who knows? I have a guaranteed one-year contract with a second-year club option, so if I do well, they may decide to keep me for another year.

“It’s weird thinking that I come from Morris High School and now I am playing in Japan in front of 40,000 people a night. I certainly wouldn’t have thought that when I walked out of MCHS. I wasn’t recruited much coming out of high school or junior college. Joliet Junior College and then Northwestern Ohio University gave me a chance.

Then I went undrafted. When I had a chance at some guaranteed money, that was new to me, so I felt like I had to take it. That was a good feeling. My life has changed a lot. I have a fiáncee, Adria, who I met in my junior year at Northwestern Ohio.

“I owe everything to baseball. It’s taken me from Morris to Ohio to the Cardinals organization to Japan. But, in baseball, almost nothing is guaranteed. If I get a chance to come back to the States and play, I may take it. I would love another chance at the major leagues, but if they want me here another year, I may have to do that.”

And, if he can be successful, maybe a shoe store in Yokohama will start stocking size 13 shoes.

KITCHEN SAFETY The kitchen is often a danger zone for seniors who are physically or mentally disabled. When around-the-clock supervision is not available, loved ones or in-home caregivers need to assess kitchen safety and implement appropriate changes. If lighting is too dim, higher wattage light bulbs may be used or under-cabinet lighting installed over work areas. When cabinets are too high to reach easily, lower shelving or hooks can be added to make frequently used items readily available. Caregivers can help their senior clients organize the refrigerator to remove outdated or spoiled food products that could lead to food poisoning. Caregivers can also

MAKING MOZZARELLA

Creating fresh cheese from scratch a tasty way to expand cooking skills

By LISA ABRAHAM

E

More Content Now

very once in a while, I like to try making a food I’ve never prepared to give my cooking skills a good stretch.

When I signed up for a class on making fresh mozzarella cheese, I had no idea how literal stretch would become.

As I held molten cheese curd and watched it extend from the palm of my hand to the length of a yardstick, I felt a sense of pride well in my chest like Tom Hanks in the movie “Castaway” when his character finally manages to make a fire.

Look what I have created! I have made cheeeeeese!

I didn’t stop to beat my chest or dance around, but the thrill was there just the same.

Fresh mozzarella is one of the stars of Caprese salad, along with juicy slabs of tomatoes and fresh basil. The salad was created to honor the red, white and green stripes of the Italian flag, and for many people, including me, it is quintessential summer eating.

I have grown my own tomatoes and basil, and now I can make the final component from scratch. (OK, nitpickers: No, I haven’t pressed my own olive oil yet, but give me time.)

My teacher was Kent Rand, cheesemonger at Weiland’s Market in the Clintonville (Columbus, Ohio) neighborhood, who offers a Saturday morning class on making fresh mozzarella.

Fresh mozzarella is the cheese sold in round balls in containers of brine or whey.

It’s creamy, mild and slightly salty. It differs from processed mozzarella cheese – the stuff we shred to melt atop pizza and lasagna – which is drier, dense and sort of rubbery.

Fresh mozzarella, Rand explained, is a pasta filata cheese, meaning that it has a “stretched” or “plastic” curd.

The class begins with a

Fresh mozzarella is one of the stars of Caprese salad, along with juicy slabs of tomatoes and fresh basil. The salad was created to honor the red, white and green stripes of the Italian flag. few simple steps of cutting, softening and salting fresh mozzarella curd.

Then, using two wooden spoons, the curd is gently turned and folded into a cohesive mass of cheese.

It sounded easy enough.

I stood across from a man who folded his curd with the precision of a military general. As I watched him deftly work his spoons, my own curds kept floating away in their hot-water bath, making a craggy mass out of what was supposed to turn into a shiny

ball.

I pressed on, turning and folding and doing my best to catch the floaters and direct them back to the mass of melted curd.

A few minutes later, my cheese began to shape up. It looked like bread dough, and I wanted to pick it up and knead it.

“Could I?” I asked Rand.

“If you have asbestos hands,” he said, noting how the water was nearly 170 degrees.

Next, the fun began.

Holding the warm cheese high above my work bowl, I allowed it to stretch nearly 3 feet in length to help develop its pasta filata. After ribboning it back into my work bowl, I took the curd and divided it into two rounded balls – the final step of the process.

The “mozza” in mozzarella, Rand explained, means to break off or snap off, which is exactly what we did, breaking the cheese in two and forming each piece into a ball.

Rand sent us home with the cheese we made and a

pound of frozen curd (to make more at home later).

But he cautioned: The fresh cheese should be eaten within a few days.

As my husband and I sat down for dinner that evening with a platter of Caprese salad before us, I soon realized that wouldn’t be a problem.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ NFL Preseason Football Two teams that could be headed in opposite directions square off when Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons visit the Miami Dolphins. The third preseason game is typically the most important for all teams as their starting units usually play the entire first half. For the Falcons it will be Ryan and one of the league’s best receivers in Julio Jones. Meanwhile, in Miami, Ryan Tannehill puts up big passing numbers without a supporting cast.

7 p.m. on _ WLS BattleBots Internet superstar Michael Stevens, whose “Vsauce” YouTube channel attracts more than 10 million subscribers, is the special guest judge of the new episode “Rise of the Machines: The Round of 16 Part 2, which — as the title indicates — concludes the face-off between 16 teams competing for a spot in the final championship. Special effects artist Fon Davis and Jessica Chobot, the face of Nerdist, also are on the judging panel.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Vandal Savage (guest star Casper Crump) is finally apprehended by the Legends in “River of Time,” but he has some cards to play in trying to arrange an escape.

Savage also plays mind games with Ray (Brandon Routh). Snart and Rory (Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell) have issues with Rip’s (Arthur Darvill) plans for Savage.

Mackenzie Astin also guest stars. Jaina Lee Ortiz and Gabrielle Dennis also star.

Guthrie (William Allen Young) is torn when his son (guest star Cress Williams, “Hart of Dixie”) becomes a staff member, then collides with Leanne (Marcia Gay Harden) almost immediately over their respective techniques, in “Sometimes It s a Zebra.” Christa’s (Bonnie Somerville) personal tragedy impacts her treatment of an infant. Kevin Dunn and Glenn Morshower (“24”) also guest star. Raza Jaffrey and Luis Guzman also star.

The Chicago Cubs visit the Los Angles Dodgers in a game that features two playoff teams from a year ago. The Cubs showed the league that they were all business when they traded for closer Aroldis Chapman in late July and are still in control in the NL Central Division. The Dodgers too are alive in the post season picture with a legitimate shot at either the NL West title or a Wild Card berth.

The 147th Travers Stakes from Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York remains the most prolific race outside of the Triple Crown. Three-year-old colts, fillies and geldings run the mile-and-a-quarter track seeking the “Man O War Cup,” the flower blanket and having their colors decorate the canoe on the race course pond. And there’s always that $1.25-million purse. 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah was upset by Keene Ice in last year’s race.
