Teen in crash that killed Morris couple found guilty of failure to reduce speed

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A Morris teenager accused of killing a couple in a crash last summer as they were riding their bicycles was fined $1,000 and will have his driver’s license suspended after pleading guilty Tuesday to failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said Mark and Janice Wendling were riding their bicycles June 21 on Old Stage Road, when they were struck and killed by the inexperienced driver.

The teen was issued a traffic ticket for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident at the time the crash occurred. By state statute, a petty offense charge can carry a maximum fine of $1,000.

Helland stated in a news release that during the past six months his office worked closely with the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department to investigate the case to see whether any additional charges were warranted.

“It is not unusual for a traffic fatality case to take months to conclude an investigation and make a charging decision,” he stated in the release.

The state’s attorney’s office and de-

ing the accident, he allowed his blood and urine to be collected. The juvenile told officers that he last smoked marijuana two days before the accident,” the release stated.

The teen’s DUI kit was sent to the Illinois State Police crime lab for testing.

On July 27, a state police forensic scientist stated that the teen had THC, the intoxicant in marijuana, in his urine. The teen’s DUI kit was then sent to NMS Laboratory in Pennsylvania for analysis.

The teen’s blood was tested and found to have 2.8 nanograms of THC – well under the 5 nanogram legal limit. The result was reported to the state’s attorney’s office Aug. 9.

Helland stated in the news release that his office intended to charge the teen as an adult with two counts of aggravated driving under the influence for causing the deaths and the case was going to be presented Aug. 3 to a grand jury. However, because of a change in the law, the office was unable to bring the case to the grand jury.

On Sept. 21, a wrongful death lawsuit was filed on behalf of the Wendlings’ estates against the mother of the teen and the owner of the vehicle he was driving, alleging negligence. That case is ongoing.

Grundy County Farm Bureau hosts 102nd annual meeting

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com DWIGHT – The Grundy County Farm Bureau held its annual meeting last week, at which it bestowed the Friend of Farm Bureau award to the Seneca FFA and the Outstanding Farm Bureau Member award to Dave and Rita Gemmer, operators of Clearview Pork Farm LLC. “The Seneca FFA is the recipient of our Friend of Farm Bureau award,” Tamara Halterman, secretary of the Grundy County Farm Bureau, said when honoring the group. “The work they do is phenomenal.”

Yvonne Foss, agriculture literacy coordinator for the farm bureau, presented the outstanding member award to the Gemmers, who were unable to attend because of a power outage at their farm north of

fense counsel had the teen surrender his license July 14 as a pretrial condition of bond, according to the release.

Helland said the investigation included processing the crime scene, including a crash reconstruction and lab testing, as well as warrants and subpoenas gaining access to the teen’s cellphone.

On Nov. 16, the state’s attorney’s office received the final report from the sheriff’s department, which included the results of the examination of the cellphone and its records. An examination of the cellphone did not yield anything to suggest that the teen was using it at the time of the crash.

The crash reconstruction report by the sheriff’s department estimated the teen’s speed at between 56 and 64 mph.

The news release stated that, for a brief period of time the case was under investigation to determine whether the teen was driving while under the influence, but despite the report of the juvenile disposing of a small bag of marijuana at the scene, there was nothing to suggest he had smoked any of it leading up to the crash.

“In short, there was absolutely no evidence that the juvenile was impaired. Although the juvenile declined to give the Sheriff’s Department a statement regard-

Morris. Foss said the Gemmers teach about the hogs they raise and invite local legislators to the farm where the pork is raised and produced.

Thursday’s meeting marked the 102nd annual farm bureau meeting. Proceeds from an auction at the event benefited the Grundy County Farm Bureau Foundation’s scholarship program offered to local students.

“Each year, the Grundy County Farm Bureau Foundation awards scholarships to deserving youth,” an event handout stated. “Scholarships are awarded based on scholastic ability [and] service/activities of the applicant during school, in the community and [with] other organizations.”

Last year, students from Grundy County received scholarships totaling $8,000

for their accomplishments. Those receiving scholarships were Michael Bernhard, Rhett Higgins, Austin McLuckie, Heidi Warning, Sara Wise, Livi Isham, Kenneth Hume, Luke Severson, Michael Isham, Joe Micetich, Nick Micetich, Seth Severson and Trent Zelko.

Victoria Wax, Grundy County Farm Bureau manager, said the support of local businesses and individuals who attend events make the scholarships possible.

After the formal meeting adjourned, Bill Johnson, of Joliet Junior College, discussed ongoing agriculture developments at the college, and Chad Hrechko, Grundy County D.A.R.E. officer, explained what farmers should be aware of when it comes to meth labs that are run or dump products in rural areas, including ditches and fields where farmers may come across them.

CUTTING COSTS BUT NOT LIFELINES Grundy County VAC office relocates to County Administration Building

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

copiers expire and are not renewed. The VAC will have access to the equipment used by other county departments.

Buck said proximity to the Grundy County Health Department and mental health services also is a benefit to the move. It allows Buck or his assistant superintendent to walk veterans over to other departments that can provide them with services.

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Although the address of the Grundy County Veterans Assistance Commission has changed, the services have not.

Superintendent Ken Buck said the cost savings of bringing the office back into a county building from the Morris Business and Technology Center allows the VAC to stay within budget constraints issued by the Grundy County Board while continuing the much-used transportation program.

“We’ve moved to the County Administration Building, but the phone number and email are the same and so are the services we provide,” Buck said.

Originally the VAC was located in the Grundy County Courthouse. Once the county found a third judge, the office was moved to the Morris Business and Technology Center on Route 47.

It became evident as the Grundy County Board worked through its 2017 budget workshops that cuts had to address a more than $1 million shortfall.

“The root cause is the loss in revenue from sales tax,” County Board Chairman Chris Balkema said in September as the board worked on the budget. “There is a wide consensus in the County Board that we don’t want to go into debt.”

The county had a $1.7 million shortfall when comparing expenditures and revenues, County Administrator Doug Pryor said.

“The impact began to hit the county in fiscal year 2015,” Pryor said. “The county can’t continue to spend at the requested levels.”

The root of the issue came from the loss of supplemental sales tax after the Regional Transportation Authority sued Morris and Channahon, as well as other municipalities, for using taxing strategies enticing companies to open small purchasing offices in Grundy County to take advantage of low sales tax rates.

New assistant superintendent

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Assistant Superintendent of the Grundy County Veterans Assistance Commission Rob Schwiesow has hit the ground running in his new position, which includes scheduling transportation to and from the Hines hospital, as well as handling day-to-day case activities in the office.

While legal at the time, that practice is no longer allowed. Buck said he had been asked to cut $54,000 from his proposed $220,000 budget.

“I can cut the $54,000 if I completely eliminate the transportation program and don’t fill the part-time position we have open,” he said.

The job, which had been vacant for six months, represented a $10,000 cut from the proposed budget.

Buck said the transportation program, which provides rides for Grundy County veterans to medical appointments in Joliet and to Edward J. Hines Jr. VA Hospital, has been in service for

15 years. Many area veterans depend on it to get to their doctor’s appointments and treatments, he said.

As a way to accommodate the budget shortfall, the decision was made to move the VAC office into two offices at the administration building – one occupied by the county administrator and another room used for meetings and file storage.

The administrator’s office was moved to the former County Board chairman’s office, which is not used full time.

Pryor said just the move to the new offices saved the VAC about $15,000 in rent and utilities. Other savings will occur as leases on office equipment such as

The VAC also did away with the parttime position, which had remained unfilled, but it has hired Rob Schwiesow as assistant superintendent, filling a budgeted but previously vacant role.

Schwiesow is a U.S. Army veteran who has been working in the automotive technology program at the Grundy Area Vocational Center for several years.

He continues in his role as an educator at the GAVC by teaching the early-bird class, which is complete before his hours at the VAC start each morning.

Schwiesow currently oversees the bus scheduling to get VA clients to Hines and to Joliet, as well as other medical appointments, while taking on day-to-day client cases as needed. With two employees, the VAC has the ability to provide services to clients throughout the year.

With one employee, there was no one to cover vacation or sick days, which could leave clients facing an emergency with more limited resources for help.

“It was a good opportunity that presented itself,” Schwiesow said. “Providing veteran services has been something I’ve always supported, and is a high priority of mine.”

The VAC sees on average 10 to 15 new veterans each month, not counting veterans receiving ongoing services.

Buck said he’s amazed at how many veterans he still meets who don’t know the VAC exists or what it has to offer.

The goal of both Buck and Schwiesow is to change those numbers, so those who need service know where to turn.

Girl Scout cookie-selling season heats up

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – If you haven’t received the doorbell ring yet this month, you might want to pick up the phone and call your nearest Girl Scout to place your annual order for their tasty cookies.

The Girl Scout cookie-selling season is off the ground and goes through March 31.

Pre-orders with individual Scouts and troops go through Sunday, and booth sales outside local stores will run from Feb. 17 throughout the month of March.

There’s even a new cookie this year. To celebrate the 100 th year of Girl Scout cookies, the S’mores cookie honors the scouting camping tradition.

“I’ve tried them, and they’re really, really good,” said Morris Girl Scout Hailey Childress, a fifth-grader in Troop 70341.

Hailey was the top cookie seller in all of Morris last year, having sold 1,000 boxes, and she is aiming to do it again. It was a great feeling to hit that mark, she said.

Cookie sales are the Girl Scouts biggest fundraiser, and all of the proceeds stay local. The money goes to fund their activities.

According to the organization’s website, www.girlscouts.org, the dollars from cookie sales pay for experiences that “broaden their worlds,

Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media

Girl Scout Troop 70232, with leader Wendy Hougas, is one of the Morris troops selling cookies this year. help them learn essential life skills ... and teach them leadership.”

Local cookie booths can be located on the website.

The selection of cookies this year includes S’mores, Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Do-sidos, Lemonades, Savannah Smiles, Thanks-a-lots, Toffee-tastic and Trios – the last two of which are gluten-free. Thin mints are vegan. Not all troops sell all varieties, however.

There’s also an option to buy cookies that will be delivered directly to military personnel overseas.

This is the first year Emma Johnson, a Morris fifth-grader in Troop 70232, is selling cookies. She just joined Girl Scouts this year and said she has set a goal of selling 2,017 boxes for 2017. So far, she has sold 222.

“It’s very fun,” she said. “I really like selling cookies because I’m excited to meet neighbors and to get

business cards. Refreshments and raffle prizes will be offered.

The noncertified option is for those who wish to just take the training for personal enrichment, without volunteering.

The 10-session course will be offered 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays at the Will County Extension Office, 100 Manhattan Road in Joliet.

One example of master gardening handiwork in Grundy County can be seen at the ‘Welcome’ sign with the elaborate planting on Route 47 in Morris.

Master Gardeners are fulfilling their mission of helping others learn to grow in Grundy County by establishing monarch butterfly habitats and flower gardens, and providing educational programming for youth and adults in the county.

the prizes.”

Emma is in leader Wendy Hougas’ troop, which meets twice a month on Friday evenings. There are several Girl Scout troops in Morris, Hougas said, each with its own leaders and age ranges.

Her troop consists of Juniors, which are fourth- and fifth-graders.

It’s the girls in her troop who get to decide where they’re going to spend the cookie profits each year.

“We always give some back to the community,” Hougas said. “We’ve done PADS, we’ve donated cookies to We Care. ... We also do activities for the girls. ... Our troop does weekend camping. Some troops go for a week of camp during the summer.”

Hougas’ troop’s highest seller last year was her daughter, Abigail Hougas, who sold 750 boxes. The troop as a whole sold about 2,800 boxes.

Hougas said the fundraiser also is a great way for the girls to learn about business skills.

“It’s the largest girl-run business,” said service unit cookie manager and Troop 70341 leader Christy Lamaze, “because the girls do run it.”

Lamaze said the Scouts set goals, learn business ethics and money management, and do the math at the booth sales.

To find out where you can buy Girl Scout cookies locally, call the local Girl Scout Council at 855-4568347.

Morris Mobile Meals hires new coordinator How to help

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Longtime Morris Mobile Meals Coordinator Char Orndorff has retired from the nonprofit, and the board of directors has hired Morris resident Michaela Gretencord as her replacement, with Laurie Cooper as assistant coordinator.

The board said its goodbyes to Orndorff in December.

It was the volunteers she worked with over the past 20 years that she enjoyed the most.

“I never underestimated those wonderful people,” Orndorff said of the program’s volunteers. “If there was a problem with a client, they would stay there and take care of it. ... They were incredible people.”

Morris Mobile Meals delivers nutritional meals daily to those who cannot cook for themselves. A physician’s order is necessary to be a client in the program, and the meals are individually prepared by the Morris Hospital cafeteria staff to meet the special needs of the doctor-specified diets. There is a charge for the meals.

Much like mail, the meals must go out rain or shine or even blizzard, and Orndorff said the volunteers who pick the meals up at the hospital and deliver them to houses and apartments are very conscientious about their jobs.

“I remember two winters ago when we had day after day of blizzards and snow,” she said. “They called it the polar vortex. We had many, many inches of snow on the ground, and I’ve got to give credit to Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers, because they took those first two weeks in January, and they did all

Morris Mobile Meals is in need of volunteers and monetary donations.

“These big, young guys would come in and say, ‘No problem, Char, we’ll get ’em out.’ It was just a wonderful experience.”

Orndorff said she still has a picture of New Community Christian Church’s Julie Lardi marching in one snowy day all bundled up and grabbing the carriers, telling Orndorff not to worry, that the meals would get to their destinations.

Many times, it’s the children of Mobile Meals clients who sign a parent up for the program.

“They want to give their parents the best possible everything,” Orndorff said, “and they know that with Mobile Meals, they not only have good, healthy food from the hospital, but a person who comes in and makes sure they’re OK. That is a big deal to a lot of families.”

Morris Mobile Meals board President Sue Morse said when the board hired Orndorff two decades ago, it was a great fit, and it continued to be for all those years.

“This lady just took it and ran with it,” Morse said. “We hardly knew she

was there. Everything just ran so smoothly. She was just so willing to do the job, and she did it to the best of her abilities. She carried on what we started so many years before just beautifully.”

Morse said Orndorff’s replacement, Gretencord, is already much appreciated by the board, volunteers and clients.

“She’s a people person, like Char,” Morse said. “I prayed and prayed for God to send me the right person. I think I’ve found her now.”

Gretencord knew what Mobile Meals was all about when she applied for the position. She had volunteered for the organization through her church. She and her husband recently became empty nesters after raising six children, she said, and the opportunity seemed like a perfect one that came at the perfect time.

“It seemed like a great opportunity for me to be a part of something I enjoy,” she said. “It’s going really well.

The clients have been amazing, the volunteers have been incredibly helpful, the nutritional services staff have been really kind in this transition, and Char has also been incredibly supportive.”

Gretencord said she knows she has big shoes to fill and hopes she can continue Orndorff’s legacy.

“I hope that I can serve this program with as much grace and integrity as they’re accustomed to,” she said.

Morris Casey’s shares spirit of giving with repurposed pickle jar

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – Each morning, Morris resident William Sticha walks into Casey’s General Store on Bedford Road for his coffee, pizza and doughnut. And just as faithful as his patronage to the store, he always puts any loose change from his purchase into an old pickle jar on the counter, knowing his contributions will help those in his own community.

“I try to help people wherever. I feel that some people need it, so what are you going to do? People should support and help the poor,” Sticha said.

The old pickle jar sits snugly against a cash register and fills with bills and coins from customers. About every three weeks, store manager Dawn Roy takes the jar into the bank to cash it out. It usu-

ally totals $150, and at its peak, $202.

“I take the jar and while I’m gone – just to the bank and back – customers will come in and ask, ‘Where’s the jar, where’s the jar?’ ” Roy said.

The origin of the collection jar began six years ago, when 91-year-old Casey’s employee Wilma Stuckey needed openheart surgery and the customers wanted to help her pay for it. After that, the store began raising money annually for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Muscular Dystrophy Association and other causes.

Roy said when the store wasn’t raising money for one of those campaigns, they would put the jar away, but after multiple customers questioned its whereabouts, they decided to put the jar back on the

Hall of Distinction receives first 10 inductees

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris Community High School Education Foundation began as an initiative of Superintendent Pat Halloran, Principal Kelly Hussey, members of the board of education, and community members who support and recognize the benefits of a strong high school locally.

“The foundation was formed in 2015 after at least two years of planning to make sure we had the right people involved,” Halloran said. “As the foundation formed, we were looking for a signature feature and the we started talking about a hall of distinction.”

The foundation held its first induction into the hall of distinction Saturday evening with a small meetand-greet where those attending could sample hors d’oeuvres prepared by Zan Higgins’ Grundy Area Vocational Center Culinary Arts program before a formal induction in the high school gym.

The nonprofit is run by a volunteer board that accepts contributions and gifts that are invested to grow, so they can benefit Morris Community High School and the community, as well as honor the school’s most distinguished

former students and community members with inductions to the MCHS Hall of Distinction.

Honorees are either graduates of Morris Community High School or people associated with the betterment of the school district.

This year’s inductees included six graduates and four other honorees.

Those honored were Morris high school graduates Ed Brady, Dan Darlington, Jimmy Stafford, Dr. John Roth Jr., Maj. Elizabeth Talarico and Dr. Mark Ciota. Other honorees were Jim Baum, Pete Muffler, Joe Corsello and Shirley Kiss.

Those honored have contributed to society in numerous ways, from delivering many of the babies born in Morris to being a rock star with the band Train, and from teaching arts to creating athletes on the football field.

“I’m glad to see the hall of distinction and it was a nice honor,” Roth Jr. said. “The community has been really, really important to me.”

Roth said he could have never achieved all he did if it weren’t for the guidance and appreciation of taking care of the community of his dad, Dr. John Roth Sr. “What I’m really happy about is that my children, grandchildren, and

We Care of Grundy County executive director Northern Illinois Food Bank, so we spend $50 per week on milk. A donation of just $100 will buy milk for two weeks,” Fisher said. “Or the money could help pay a utility bill or buy food for our food pantry.”

Roy said Casey’s also raises funds for the red kettle Salvation Army program and the Souper Bowl soup kettle campaign that We Care of Grundy County hosts each year. In 2016, Casey’s won the Grundy County Souper Bowl of Caring award for the highest donation count.

“This shows that the business itself cares for the community they are in, and we live in an extremely generous community. They give an ‘all hands on deck’ approach to help the community,” Fisher said of Casey’s community involvement.

“You can tell they are engaged in what they are doing and it’s a big deal when the employees are behind it; it creates a neat atmosphere.”

“I believe we need to help people less fortunate and do what we can to help the community. There are needs everywhere from single parents, people without jobs, families who can’t afford food, and mothers and kids,” Roy said.

Roy said money has gone to local charities such as Under His Wings, which helps young mothers with babies; local schools; Christmas presents for seniors and children in need; and Casey’s neighbor on Bedford Road, We Care of Grundy County.

“Even when we don’t advertise what the money is for, it still fills up every two to three weeks. I would say 95 percent of our customers know what we use the money for, and once in awhile people will ask, and we can tell them we use it for local needs,” Roy said.

We Care of Grundy County offers assistance with food; clothing; one-time rent and mortgage assistance; and utility, prescription and holiday assistance, according to its website. Executive Director Eric Scott Fisher said Casey’s has been an asset to the organization with the pickle jar donations, as well as with its affiliation with yearly fundraisers.

“For example, we buy 40 gallons of milk per week and split the cost with the

The closings are associated with the Long Term Control Plan for the city of Morris.

The first phase, which began last July at Fremont Avenue, also fell behind schedule, causing traffic to be rerouted.

Rosalie.

When asked how many people fill the branches of the Armanette and Kermit Fannin tree, no one could decide on what that number should be.

A day later, Tammy Alvarez, Ar-

manette and Kermit’s daughter, said after each child added up their spouses, grandchildren and their spouses, great-grandchildren and their spouses, great-great-grandchildren, and now the great-great-great-granddaughter,

the number totaled 160.

Armanette said that they all should be included, whether they were spouses, step-children or half-children, because in her heart she loves them all the same.

MORRIS – When Armanette Fannin was born 93 years ago, she had no idea her legacy would reach nearly 160 people by the year 2017.

When Rosalie Maurriquez was born two weeks ago, she became the sixth generation of a large but tight-knit family.

“After I had my first child, I was worried I couldn’t love another child enough,” Fannin said. “My grandmother said, ‘If you have one or 100, you love them all.’”

She said her grandmother was right about that. Fannin and her late husband, Kermit Fannin, were born in Kentucky and moved to Illinois in 1941.

Once he went off to serve his country, she moved back to Kentucky for a few years before Kermit returned from war and they settled in Morris for good in 1949.

Some of the family members gathered recently to have photographs taken, especially the six generations that include Armanette and Kermit’s daughter, Sue Murphy; Murphy’s son, Keith Murphy; Keith Murphy’s daughter, Danielle Serna; Serna’s daughter, Julia Serna; and her young daughter,

JJC hears warehouses proposal JJC board OKs tax abatement deal

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College officials were presented last week with a proposal to abate – or reduce – property taxes for a warehouse development to help with public infrastructure improvement costs.

JJC would be one of 10 taxing bodies to provide assistance through tax abatement for the development of four large distribution warehouses located south of Route 6 and east of Interstate 55 in the Channahon area.

Channahon Village Administrator Thomas Durkin said about $10 million would be needed for road and water main improvements to serve the development.

Durkin previously spoke of a similar proposal to the JJC Board on July 31 when Hillwood Investment Properties was the developer, but the company has since left the project and it is now being handled by Venture One Real Estate.

“The lack of infrastructure really has an impact on the feasibility of the development of this property,” Durkin said.

On Tuesday, he told the JJC Board of Trustees an intergovernmental agreement regarding the tax abatements would be drafted and later brought for

their consideration of approval.

Durkin said he’s spoken with officials with other taxing bodies, including school superintendents, about the proposal.

Ryan Stoller, a Venture One principal, told the board that warehouse buildings are common to the area, but the ones being developed are not like “the old warehouse buildings” as the companies that use them are a “great source of employment to communities.”

In response to JJC Trustee Alicia Morales’ question about who would be operating out of the warehouses, Stoller said he didn’t know yet.

“How the market has evolved is developers like ourselves build them speculatively ready for those users to raise their hand,” he said, referring to potential occupants of the warehouses.

He named companies that may be interested, such as Amazon, 3M or Target.

Morales said she would like to see direct hires for the warehouses as temp agencies are growing in the area.

Direct hires are typically permanent, full-time jobs. Stoller said there is a high demand for employees for these warehouses.

“Right now, it’s No. 1 for a lot of these users trying to find good labor and wages are going up because of this,” Stoller said.

Jump into with a Certificate of Deposit 18 MONTH STEP-UP SPECIAL RAISE YOUR RATE 1x BEFORE MATURITY

for Minooka warehousing business

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Junior College board approved a three-year property tax abatement – or reduction – for a company in Minooka that plans to expand its footprint.

Before JJC trustees at Tuesday’s meeting was a request from the Grundy Economic Development Council for JJC to participate in a tax abatement for building expansion by United States Cold Storage in Minooka.

The company specializes in providing temperature-controlled refrigerated warehousing and distribution services and solutions, according to JJC. The company plans to add 100,000 square feet to its current facility, which is 450,000 square feet. The tax abatement deal also is being proposed to eight other taxing bodies, including Grundy County and Minooka village.

The estimated taxes at the end of the abatement would be $881,000 and JJC’s share would be $29,260. Trustees voted, 6-2, in favor of the proposal, with Trustees Maureen Broderick and Alicia Morales voting against it.

Broderick said after the meeting

that she thinks U.S. Cold Storage can support itself and doesn’t need the abatement. She also said JJC has to keep watch over deficits in the budget.

Morales said she voted against the proposal for the same reason as Broderick, saying the college is in a financial situation and she can’t see the proposal being justified at this time.

According to the proposal, the total investment of the project is an estimated $17.6 million, of which $5.2 is expected to be taxable, along with the creation of 21 new full-time positions and the retention of 206 employees.

Morales asked Kristin Mulvey, JJC Foundation executive director, if the foundation is doing anything to help the college offset the more than $1 million it’s not receiving from the state for Monetary Award Program funding.

MAP grants, which do not need to be repaid, are given to state residents who attend MAP-approved colleges and demonstrate a financial need. No state funding for MAP was included for the current fiscal year. Among the foundation’s donation efforts, Mulvey said the foundation has been focused on raising money from area companies and making proposals for funds.

STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY JJC students, staff begin using long-awaited building “It’s incredible. This is literally one of the top facilities in the world.”

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College’s City Center Campus saw its first student stroll through its doors for classes Monday.

It still was dark out Monday morning, but culinary student Susan Quigley came in and was greeted by college officials, including JJC President Judy Mitchell. Quigley, as one of the first 25 students to enter, was given a welcome bag of goodies.

Quigley said it was her first time inside the college’s new building in downtown Joliet.

“I’m just very excited,” she said.

Monday was the first day of classes but also the first day for a building that’s been long in development for JJC. The college had a groundbreaking ceremony on the six-story, 96,000-squarefoot building at the corner of Chicago and Webster streets in 2013.

JJC spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said in an email that JJC expects 400 stu-

JJC culinary arts chairman dents using the building this semester, with room to grow in the future.

The building is the new home for the college’s culinary arts program, workforce development, and department of adult education and literacy.

The six levels include administrative offices; a restaurant; culinary arts classroom space; a ballroom and kitchen; a student lounge; classrooms and labs; a library; and a testing and tutoring area.

“It’s incredible,” said Mike McGreal, JJC culinary arts chairman. “This is literally one of the top facilities in the world.”

Here are answers to frequently asked questions provided by these local businesses.

Eye Care

Chiropractic

Q: Am I At Risk for the Silent

Q: Since you are a chiropractor, are

you allowed to see patients with other injures i.e. sports injuries, or other type of injuries to the shoulders, knees, or feet?

A: Yes, chiropractors are allowed to see

patients with other injuries besides neck and low back. Personally I love working with young athletes and sports injuries from knees to shoulders to muscle strains, and ligament sprains. I have also done post surgical rehab of knees, shoulders and feet. I have completed many hours of post graduate work working toward a diploma in functional rehab so I am very comfortable treating a lot of different injuries. Also since I am a chiropractor you can just come in and see me and do not need to get a referral from a medical doctor to see me. But if you do have a physical therapy or rehab script from your medical doctor I will keep them informed throughout your treatment by sending them updates on your status.

First and foremost in the process is a comprehensive eye health exam by your family eye doctor.

What is Flameless Cremation?

SPONSORED BY

By Matt Baskerville There comes a time when everyone is faced with the aftercare of a loved one. In the past your choices were limited to burial or cremation. Now there is a new innovative ecofriendly option, Flameless Cremation.

The process uses water instead of fire, and is a gentle, greener choice that allows you to honor the loss of your loved one without harming the environment. Flameless cremation does not burn any fossil fuels or release any particulate matter into the air. It is a very simple process that is similar to mother nature’s own.

Cremated remains are also returned in the same manner as with flame cremation, however the remains are lighter in color due to not being exposed to the intense heat of flame cremation. Although new to the funeral industry, the Mayo Clinic donated body program has been using this process since 2006 due to the environmental advantages.

This is an environmentally responsible option for aftercare, and also a gentle alternative to flame cremation. Cherish the memory of your loved one while protecting the environment we all share. Flameless cremation is available here and now.

Reeves Funeral Home Coal City, Gardner, Morris Baskerville Funeral Home: Wilmington Reeves-Baskerville.com

The result is the same as if you laid a body to rest into the soil, eventually breaking down over time. Flameless cremation just accelerates this natural process. This happens without harmful greenhouse gases, and in fact produces no significant gas emissions, making this an eco choice.

The process uses about 95% water and 5% alkalis, which are naturally occurring in the earth and are completely biodegradable.

Our bodies are about 65% water to begin with, making this a natural process. Service options remain as they would with flame cremation, and can include a traditional visitation with the body present, or memorial service after flameless cremation.

LOCAL NEWS | Morris Herald-News / MorrisHerald-News.com

McGreal was with other college officials Monday, greeting the first 25 students who came to the building.

“Are you ready to see the new digs?” he asked one student.

The cost of the project was $58 million, and the college funded it through state money as well as funds received from other JJC Master Plan projects that came in under budget, a referendum in 2008 and interest earned on bonds, Rohder said.

The building was designed by Demonica Kemper Architects and construction management was by Mortensen Construction, she said.

State funding for the project still is promised at $25.5 million.

JJC received $10 million from the state in October 2014 from former Gov. Pat Quinn for the building, but those funds were frozen under Gov. Bruce Rauner, Rohder said.

The college has used surplus funds to offset the cost of the project to complete it on time.

“However, with more students to serve and declining funding from the state each year, this is not a sustainable pathway,” Rohder said. “[Mitchell] and the Board of Trustees continue to work closely with our legislative partners in Springfield to ensure a capital bill is

passed and that we [receive] the funding promised to us.”

The City Center Campus is one of many projects under JJC’s Master Plan, which also includes the JJC Event Center and Romeoville campus expansion, both of which are slated to be complete this year.

McGreal said culinary students previously had to use basic stoves and refrigerators, but now have energy-efficient and more up-to-date tools, such as ovens with an iPad-type interface.

New culinary students start on the fifth floor and progress to lower floors on a semesterly basis, he said.

“It’s neat. They can progress and walk past the [kitchen] as they go into the top floors. There’s kind of excitement as they move into the main kitchen on their last semester,” McGreal said.

Work still is being done with the restaurant on the first floor, and it is expected to open in mid-January.

Sitting across from City Center Campus is the Chicken-N-Spice restaurant, which is on property that college officials plan to acquire for further development.

A grand opening for the City Center Campus and neighboring Renaissance Center will be held April 11, Rohder said in an email.

Mitchell, who gave a high-five to one student who arrived, said the City Center Campus classrooms look beautiful and the students deserve such a facility.

On Jan. 7, the Morris and Seneca boys basketball teams capped their winter breaks by playing a game at the United Center in Chicago, the home of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks.

After they played in the afternoon, the teams had lunch together at a restaurant near the stadium.

Then they and their families had tickets to that night’s basketball game between the Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves, which the Bulls won in overtime.

With a new year comes a new schedule of tools

A new year means a new schedule of Nonprofit Tools for Success!

This is a monthly workshop of peers who gather to learn tools to help make their nonprofit life more efficient and impactful. Topic ideas are submitted by the peers. Sometimes we have a guest speaker who is an expert on a topic; other times we simply talk around the table and learn from one another. There’s quite a bit of talent in this county!

As we wrapped up last November’s National Philanthropy Day event, we created a parking lot of topics to cover at future nonprofit tools workshops.

Most of the ideas focus on marketing

VIEWS Julianne Buck and increasing a nonprofit’s ability to engage more donors. Other topics include board development, nonprofit finances and strategic planning.

Nonprofits juggle trying to reach as many residents as possible while still watching the budget. Toward that, our Feb. 7 guest speaker is Thomas Kimes, postmaster for the Morris branch of the U.S. Postal Service. He and a

colleague will introduce us to the new “Every Door” direct mail service as well as review updates for bulk mail.

The March 7 topic will be “Giving Tuesday.” Yes, it’s a November annual event, but much planning needs to be done in advance to assure its success.

Nonprofit tools workshops are on the first Tuesday of the month at 8:30 a.m. at the Community Foundation of Grundy County, 520 W. Illinois Ave., in the historic Coleman Hardware Building in Morris. All nonprofits in the area are invited to attend. This includes agencies, nonprofits, governments, libraries, schools and churches.

OPINIONS

23

If I had to choose a word to describe the Democrats’ nominating speeches for House Speaker Michael Madigan’s re-election last week, it would be either “defensive” or perhaps “joyless.”

The speeches seemed directly aimed at Madigan’s toughest critics – and there are plenty of those out there. The nominators at times angrily justified their own votes for Madigan and their continued willingness to support him while under siege by a hostile kabillionaire governor and much of the state’s media.

They literally cannot go anywhere without being asked about why they continue to back Madigan.

Rep. Dan Beiser, D-Alton, told a touching story about how Madigan dotes over his grandchild, but began his speech with an anecdote about how he figured the child would get him in trouble by playing with a toy car in Madigan’s office – a clear acknowledgment of his leader’s fearsome reputation. It was an attempt to humanize a man who has been turned into a cartoon caricature of an evil villain. Too little, too late.

Beiser, by the way, was a Tier One campaign target last year who was repeatedly forced to distance himself from Madigan. His nominating speech was the clearest indication yet that he won’t be running for re-election next year. Former Rep. John Bradley lost his House race last year partly because the Republicans aired an ad that used video from one of his own Madigan-nominating speeches. Beiser’s speech was likely not so much an act of courage in the face of overwhelming retribution, but a way to show his thanks to the top dog on his way out the door.

While House Democrats repeatedly lashed out at the opposition to Madigan, Senate Democrats were heaping praise on Senate President John Cullerton for being, in the words of Sen. Toi Hutchinson, D-Olympia Fields, “uniquely qualified at building bipartisan bridges because, above everything else, he has demonstrated a love for this state.”

Contrast that with Rep. Elgie Sims’ (D-Chicago) speech, which began with a story about how a friend warned him against seconding Madigan’s nomination because the Republicans would bash him with tons of negative ads.

The strong sense of political danger about the vote was a sentiment widely shared by Sims’ fellow Democratic House members.

Madigan began his own speech by asking for bipartisanship, but then defiantly refused yet again to participate

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller in any “race to the bottom” with Gov. Rauner and appeared to dismiss out of hand any attempt to reform workers’ compensation insurance, a key component of the compromise brewing in the Senate. Madigan’s speech was nothing like Senate President Cullerton’s, who mildly complained about the fact that the Senate is often ignored by reporters because “if there’s no conflict there’s no coverage.”

Cullerton spoke of the advances he and Senate Republican Leader Radogno made together. The two were elected to their leadership roles as the divisive end of the Rod Blagojevich era was coming to a tragic end. “We’ve seen some pretty bad times and we’ve gotten through them by working together,” he said.

“How about we just try governing for a little bit?” Cullerton gently asked near the end of his speech after saying the nonstop campaign-style messaging needs to stop. “That’s what the people have sent us here to do.”

That same sentiment was expressed much more forcefully in the House, where Republican Leader Jim Durkin angrily demanded an end to the Democrats’ “gotcha” games of holding endless roll calls purely designed to be used in campaign ads. Watching the two ceremonies was truly a study in contrasts.

The Senate was brimming with hope that it can finally lead the way out of this horrific two-year impasse. The House, meanwhile, is still mired up to its collective neck in the stalemate with no clear way forward.

And then there was the lone “present” vote by Rep. Scott Drury, D-Highwood, who issued a long and rambling press release afterward predicting that he will likely face “repercussions” for his (mostly meaningless) act, and claiming that “Illinois is in a free-fall into the abyss.” It is clear, he wrote, that “a majority of the General Assembly is not ready for a new Speaker.”

That is very true. Last week, the House Democrats continued the age-old political practice of dancing with the one who brung them. But there were few smiles to be seen.

In addition to the money raised from bell ringing, $5,221 was added to the campaign from a grant, making a grand total of $33,029. Last year’s total for bell ringing was $28,945.

New to the campaign this year were “table top” kettles that were distributed to businesses around Grundy County. This new effort raised $2,300 for the campaign, which made up for the five days of bell ringing that had to be canceled because of the subzero weather in December.

The participants of the table top kettles were: 2-fers, Minooka; Ace Hardware, Coal City; Ace Hardware, Minooka; Ace Hardware, Morris; Al’s Restaurant, Morris; Big R, Morris; BP-Minit Mart, Coal City; Casey’s General Store, Morris; Casey’s General Store, Mazon; Coal City Pharmacy, Coal City; Coal City Public Library, Coal City; Coreleone’s, Morris; Deluca’s Hallmark, Morris; Dock Rotz, Minooka; Ebbey George’s, Morris; Fat Boyz Pizza, Minooka; First Community Financial Bank, Coal City; First Community Financial Bank, Minooka; First Community Financial Bank, Mazon; Forepaws, Minooka; Gigi’s, Morris;

The following is a list of all groups that volunteered to ring bells this holiday season with the total amount of money raised during their bell-ringing assignments. Some of them rang bells on more than one occasion.

The donor of the gold coins remains a

mystery, but We Care is most grateful for their overwhelming generosity.

Those individuals raised a total of $5,407.94 and included: Danielle Kuntzi, Kimberly Lindholm and family, Christina Kott and Brianna McGray, Don and Marlene Ryder, Paula Newsome, Carmen Rogers and family, Michelle Mitchell and family, Bob Czech, Doug Bentson, Julie Phillips and family, Sue Sheriden and family, Candice Dunn and family, Chung Saenz and family, John Moss, Ryan Hitt, Marie McNelis, Mike Trafton and family, Donna Workman, Jeremy McNabb and family, Mary Pascual and family, Wava and Cailey Hauge, Henry Babson and Leigh Anne Hall, and Kip and Meredith Barnes.

GIRLS BOWLING: CHARLES BUTTERFIELD MEMORIAL INVITATIONAL

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, January 19, 2017

MORRIS – On Saturday at the 12th annual edition of the Charles Butterfield Memorial Invitational at Echo Lanes, the Lady Redskins bowling team showed that they still are a force to be reckoned by finishing third out of 20 teams. Morris shot 5,582 for six games, trailing only Minooka (5,896) and Oswego (5,894).

“This is always a very strong tournament and it’s our best finish here in the last four or five years,” head coach Harry Banks said. “We had a real good day, especially in Games 4 and 5. We struggled a little bit in Game 6, but overall, things went very well for us today.”

Usually, when a team hosts an invitational event, no matter what the sport, that team tends to finish at or near the top. Some of it is because of familiar surroundings and some is because a lot of teams will make sure they invite teams they can finish ahead of in favor of the best competition.

The latter, historically, has definitely not been the case at the invitational.

Banks of the Morris girls bowling team has always been proud of having one of the most competitive tournaments around, and if it means that his own team finishes in the middle of the pack, so be it.

“We’ve been having a pretty strong year this year. Last year, we had only seven girls in the whole program,” Banks said. “This year, we have 12 and they are all strong bowlers. When you have good numbers like that and they are all capable of putting up good scores, it just helps everyone improve and stay sharp all year.”

On the individual side of things, three Lady Redskins made it to the top 20 and walked away with medals. Seniors Corrinne Day and Amy Waldron were 17th and 16th, respectively, while sophomore Olivia Schultz finished second with a six-game mark of 1,292, trailing only individual champ Paytynn Kuhns of West Aurora, who finished with a score of 1,303. Schultz rolled 214 in her final game, but fell just short of catching Kuhns.

“I knew I was in second, but I didn’t know exactly how much I was behind,” Schultz said about the final game. “I think I do better under pressure, but I wasn’t thinking about what the other girl was doing or anything like that. It’s not like you can play defense in bowling.

You just go out and do the best you can do and see what happens.

“I think we did pretty good as a team, too. It’s always better to be bowling on your own home lanes instead of getting

on a bus and taking an hour or two ride early in the morning before a big tournament like this.”

Other members of the Morris team included Allison Kukman, who finished seventh in the super sub competition, Cadenz Fitzgerald and Essence Budach.

At the end of bowling, the seniors from each team were asked to step forward and were all given a hearty applause from the packed house for their collective dedication to their programs

before the Queen of the Hill competition took place. Banks then thanked the Butterfield family, which owns and operates Echo Lanes, for its help in putting on the annual event before the medals were handed out.

“This is always a fun event,” Banks said. “Not only do we like to have it be competitive, we also want the girls and their fans to have fun. That’s what they’ll remember.

“For us to take third out of 20 is pret-

ty darn good. We still have some things to tweak as the season winds down, but we have a couple more conference dual meets left before the big conference meet and then regionals and sectionals. The regional is all the way in Decatur and the sectional is in Dixon. This group of girls hasn’t been to a sectional in Dixon before, but I have taken teams there so I know what to expect. We hope to be bowling our best then and we’ll see what happens.”

Late Morris rally falls just short

If you have a Job - We CAN Finance You!

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – On the night the inaugural class of the Morris Community High School Education Foundation’s Hall of Distinction was inducted, the Morris and Geneseo boys basketball teams gave the crowd something to cheer about, especially in the fourth quarter.

Morris rallied late to overcome a Geneseo lead and tied the game at 42 on a 3-pointer by Matt Shaw with 32 seconds remaining. Geneseo then called a timeout with 22 seconds left to draw up its final play.

That turned out to be freshman guard Isaiah Rivera driving from the right wing and tossing up a shot from just outside the lane. The shot missed, but Rivera followed the shot and got the rebound, putting it back in with 3.9 seconds left. It was the only two-point field goal the Maple Leafs scored all game. Up to that point, they had gotten their 42 points on 12 3-pointers and six free throws.

Morris called a timeout with 3.9 seconds left to draw up its own final play, but Geneseo tipped the inbounds pass away and time expired before anyone could reach the ball, and the Leafs came away with the 44-42 Northern Illinois Big 12 win.

The thrilling finish was possible because Morris used a strong fourth quarter to erase a 36-28 deficit at the start of the period. Tyler Spiezio, who finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds, had six of his points in the quarter, while Payton Voitik scored all three of his points in that quarter as well.

In that same time frame, Geneseo was able to get a 3-pointer from Jacob Pauley and a free throw each from Rivera, Keaton Rice and Carson Fierisch.

Pauley had a game-high 19 points for Geneseo, while Shaw led Morris (7-8, 0-4) with 18 points.

“You can talk about their final shot, but to me, this game was lost in the first quarter,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “There is no excuse for us to come out and play as flat as we did in the first quarter of a home conference game.”

Geneseo got on the board first with a 3-pointer by Pauley, but Morris got a free throw by JaQuan Boxley (5 points) and a 3-pointer by Shaw to take a 4-3 lead.

The Leafs closed the quarter, however, with a 3-pointer each by Matthew Ganson and Rivera (6 points) to take a 9-4 lead at the first break.

Morris shot just 1 of 6 from the floor in the first quarter, all of the shots com-

“That was disturbing,” Blumberg said about the early shot selection.

“Considering that our game plan coming in was to pound it inside, where we felt like we had an advantage. We settled for jump shots.

“It’s too bad it took us two-and-ahalf quarters to figure out to get the ball inside. Spiezio didn’t make a lot of baskets, but he got to the line and just him having the ball opened up the outside game.”

Pauley found the range in the second quarter, hitting three 3-pointers and a free throw to help the Leafs build a 22-13 halftime lead. Shaw had seven of his points in the second for Morris.

Voitik was summoned from the bench to guard Pauley in the second half and held him scoreless in the third quarter. However, Geneseo’s Anthony Bravata hit three 3-pointers in that quarter to thwart any Redskin rally.

Finally, in the fourth, Morris’ constant chipping away at the lead began to take hold and a 10-5 Redskin run made it 41-38 with 2:47 to play. Fierisch made a free throw for Geneseo, but Voitik countered with a free throw of his own at the 1:25 mark before Shaw tied it with his three from the right corner.

“Payton gives us a good spark off the bench,” Blumberg said. “No one

is going to shut down Pauley, but he did a good job of containing him in the second half and got some big offensive rebounds for us as well.”

Voitik finished with five boards to go with his three points.

“The thing about this game is that it’s very hard to dig out of a big hole like we had and get all the way over the hump,” Blumberg said. “And, there is no excuse for us getting ourselves in that big a hole.”

Morris won the sophomore game, 62-45, as Jacob Overbeck led the Redskins (3-10, 1-3) with 14 points. Scotty Scamen scored 12 points for Morris, while Chatten Dryfhout added 10.

Twelve shots on net. I don’t know how many legitimate scoring chances he had, but it had to be quite a few. I think he was back to his old form, for sure.”

Good thing, too, because with Toews still struggling and Marian Hossa cooling off, the Hawks once again have been a one-line team. Panarin, Artem Anisimov and Kane are the only trio giving the Hawks a chance in some games. But Kane always says that he’s never satisfied with his game, and that’s especially true after last season.

Now that he knows he can be a 40-goal and 100-point guy, he expects to be. And so far this season, despite trailing only Edmonton’s Connor McDavid, Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby (who has a 201516 Kane-like 50 points in just 37 games) and Evgeni Malkin, Kane hasn’t been

producing at that rate.

But if he can keep scoring the way he has over the past six games, he could once again threaten 100 points, if not 40 goals. And while Kane doesn’t want to be defined solely by his numbers, they’re nice to have, all the same.

“I don’t know [if I’m at that level yet],” Kane said. “You still want to produce more and create more every night you’re out there. So sometimes you look at the season as a whole, and that’s not the way to go about it. You just try to take it a game at a time and keep improving.”

DENVER – When discussing Patrick Kane’s season so far, it’s important to note that a humdrum season for the Blackhawks star would be a career season for all but a handful of players in the NHL. So a little more than a week ago, when Kane was sheepishly lamenting the fact that his goal-scoring was way down and that the points were a little harder to come by, and that he wasn’t entirely happy with his game, it was worth nothing that he was second in the league in scoring at the time.

That’s how high Kane raised the bar last year with his 46-goal, 106-point season, which earned him the scoring title and the Hart Trophy as league MVP. “It’s easy to judge your game on numbers, and I think we all do that, whether we want to or not,” Kane said at the time. “At the same time, I think its better for me to judge [my play] on the scoring chances I’m creating, and how much I have the puck, and if I’m creating on more shifts than not.

There’s definitely room for improvement, and hopefully we’ll see that as

the season goes along here.”

Sure enough, Kane has shifted back up from very good to really good again, and is starting to look like the guy who spent 82 games toying with nearly every team in the league last season.

Entering Tuesday night’s game against the Colorado Avalanche, Kane had three goals and seven assists in his previous six games. And he was coming off his best performance of the season, a two-goal effort in a 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild in which he played an eye-popping 27 minutes and fired a career-high 12 shots on goal.

Lately, Kane has been more daring offensively, deferring a little less to Artemi Panarin and bringing back the bold dangles and creative moves that have marked much of his career. He still has just 14 goals through 46 games, but he’s back over a point per game with 47 points. And the dip in goal production isn’t for a lack of trying – Kane, once the consummate playmaker and passer, is fourth in the league with 160 shots on goal.

“You see the way he played [against Minnesota], the puck was just following him,” Jonathan Toews said. “Once he got it, he just didn’t give it up.

SHOT Show a variety of outdoor tech This week marks one of the biggest events in the outdoors industry.

The 2017 SHOT Show is currently underway in Las Vegas.

Every year, manufacturers head to the Sands Convention Center to update the retail world with all the new products that are soon to be released to the public.

The SHOT Show is the premier function put together by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, or the NSSF. The foundation’s mission is “To Promote, Protect and Preserve hunting and the shooting sports.”

The organization was founded in 1961 and has more than 12,000 manufacturers, distributors, retailers, ranges and other organizations as a part of its membership.

The majority of those members will gather together all this week.

There is even an expected 2,500 members of the media forecast to cover the events. It is big. In the hunting industry, it is the biggest.

It has been a few years since I last attended the SHOT Show, but I have not forgotten what it was like to be a part of the hoopla.

I have had the fortunate chance to attend both as media, a television

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers show host, and as a representative working the show floor and answering questions for the attendees.

The show itself is not open to the public. To attend, you must be involved in the industry in some way.

Like ICAST for the fishing industry, the SHOT Show is where dealers and retailers from across the world come together to see the latest and greatest. If the manufacturers are lucky, they may even write some big orders.

As with all facets of business, new product is the lifeblood that keeps an industry healthy and moving forward. Besides firearms, the SHOT Show covers every ancillary product as well. You can find optics, knives, storage containers, ammunition, clothing, scents, food plot products and a host of others.

The only facet not covered is archery. The big industry show for bow enthusiasts is the ATA Show.

There is also a large portion of

the exhibit floor dedicated to law enforcement. As you wander these aisles, you will find vests, body armor, boots, and any number of other products related to keeping the public safe.

During one of my stints as a manufacturer’s rep, I was assigned to the booth of a major optics company.

I would be demonstrating and showing binoculars to a retailer that specializes in bird watching one moment. The next minutes I would be talking to the lead sniper on a SWAT team about a long-range scope. A few minutes later I would be discussing hunting optics with a major national retailer. It was a whirlwind.

Leading up to the event I drilled myself with numerous facts and selling points about types of products I would be showcasing. The pressure was intense. These customers know their stuff and you must be knowledgeable about every product in the lineup.

In between customers I had the chance to watch the aisles as thousands of people walked by. Every few minutes another celebrity would meander past. One of my favorite encounters was with R. Lee Ermey.

Most recently, he was known for hosting the show “Mail Call.” But you may also know him as the relentless drill sergeant from “Full Metal Jacket.” He was there promoting a line of handguns and signing autographs.

Once the show floor closed, the real wheeling and dealing took place.

It was time for the manufacturers to take out their best customers, and as you can imagine, Las Vegas is one place to party.

I was privileged to dine at establishments I could never afford on my own, but when million-dollar orders on are the line, the expense of a fine meal is worth it.

If you ever have the chance to go with a dealer or someone from the media, I highly recommend it.

To see every conceivable product related to hunting under one roof is amazing. The 2017 SHOT Show winds down this Friday, but no worries, the organizers at the NSSF will already be planning next year’s event.

For information, you can find it by visiting www.shotshow.org.

38 ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER

Scripts may have negative interactions Dear Doctor: Our elderly father is now seeing several specialists, all of whom have prescribed medications. My brothers and I are worried about how many pills Dad has been told to take, and the fact that these doctors don’t seem to be consulting with one another. How do we make sure the drugs are safe and appropriate?

Dear Reader: You’ve hit on a problem that is both serious and widespread, particularly among the elderly. It’s called polypharmacy, and it describes the simultaneous use of multiple drugs to treat one or more ailments or conditions. The risks of polypharmacy range from drug interactions that may make a person feel unwell, to those that are dangerous and may cause physical harm or even death.

It’s estimated that more than 40 percent of men and close to 60 percent of women oldert than the age of 65 now take five or more medications a week. This includes prescription medications from physicians; overthe-counter medications such as aspirin or antacids; vitamins, homeopathic or herbal remedies; and nutritional supplements.

Any of these, in the wrong combination, can cause problems.

When it comes to medications, these are often prescribed by several different specialists who may not be familiar with a patient’s medical history. When taken in combination, some of these drugs may cause problems such as dizziness, bleeding, confusion, low blood pressure or respiratory distress.

In some cases, adverse drug interactions can send patients to the hospital.

So how do you make sure this doesn’t happen to your dad? If you and your brothers are helping him keep track of things, these are tasks for you. If your father is handling his own health care, these are steps he should take: • Start by getting organized. Make a

complete list of all medications, including any over-the-counter medications as well as herbal and dietary supplements. Write down the dose of each drug and how often and at what time he takes it.

• If your father has a primary care physician, ask her or him to check the list. It can be run through a drug interactions database to identify potential problems. If a primary care physician is not part of your father’s health care, you can get the same help from his pharmacist. To keep things simple, it’s a good idea to have just a single pharmacy dispense all of your father’s medications.

• If any problems come to light, contact each of the prescribing physicians and explain the issue. By coordinating with all of the doctors, you can arrive at a list of drugs that are both necessary and safe for your father to take.

• Going forward, your father should bring this new list of medications with him to every medical appointment. He should share it with each doctor he sees so future drug interactions can be avoided.

• When a new drug is prescribed, your father should ask what the drug is for, what is the proper dosage, how long it should be taken for, how he will know it is working and whether there are any side effects or risks associated with the drug.

• Always add any new drug, along with its dosage, to the medications list.

• Periodically check with the prescribing physicians regarding the drugs they have recommended. Perhaps a dosage has changed, a drug can be eliminated, or it should be changed.

• Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

That’s the challenge for the contestants partnered in teams of two in this new competition series. Investigators use every tool at their disposal to locate the fugitives — including engaged Charleston, S.C., couple Matt Sundberg and Christina Zapolski — but those who stay on the run for up to 28 days can win $250,000. The show normally will air Wednesdays.

9 p.m. on + WTTW Secrets of the Six Wives As anyone who knows history even loosely can guess, the six wives in question in this new, BBC-co-produced series are those of Henry VIII (played in his younger years by Scott Arthur), whose marital relationships are dramatized from the stance of the women. The first episode, “Divorced,” focuses on the monarch’s union with Katherine of Aragon (Paola Bontempi) — which begins happily and lovingly, but takes a turn when she’s unable to give him the son he wants.
